The budget includes a $60 activity fee per student based on an enrollment of 1,975 full-time students. This means a 100 percent increase over this year's $30 activity, and before the increase officially goes into effect it must first be approved by the Student Activities Fee Fund Committee. If approved, --the new fee will go into effect next year. In addition to the budget with the new activity fee, an alternate budget with a $50 activity fee was prepared. Both budgets were formulated by the executive council of student government under the direction of former SG president Dave Blumfield and former SG treasurer Joe Galli. The executive council discussed both budgets and the one with the $60 activity fee was brought before the SG body and put toa vote. Tucker, Miller And Galli Win Presidencies Joe Galli, Janine Tucker and Bill Miller will be next year's student leaders. Their official victories were announced last Friday, April 11, after voting was held the day before. For Student Government president Joe Galli ran unopposed.Out of the 220 ballots cast he received 198. 22 votes were cast for various writeIn candidates. His candidacy drew roughly 10 ·; of the student population out to vote. Galli assumed the office of president at Monday night's SG meeting. His executive council was elected at that time. (See SG story) . The Commuter Council presidency was sought by one candidate. Of the 75 ballots cast Bill Miller was elected CC president with 38 votes. There were 37 writein votes which were predominately for George Bath, a local character. Miller, like Galli, assumed his position at Monday night's weekly CC meeting. This election attracted roughly 7 percent of the commuter population while Miller received a little more than 1h of the vote. The Inter-Dormitory Council presidential election ended in Janine Tucker's favor. She defeated Jon Pliskin by a wide margin. The final count was 108 to 37 with 5write-votes. Attracting 15 percent of the dorm student population, Tucker will assume office this week. Galli stated that the biggest reason for increase as being to allow an amount of money to budgeted specifically for concerts. This amount would be in the $9000$10,000 range. According to Galli, "the executive council felt that there was a definite want among the students for concerts at the school." However, because of the small size of the gym, which is where concerts are normally held, and because of the fact that SG almost always incurs a loss in sponsoring concerts, it was felt that there was a definite need to put money aside for concerts to cover any losses, and to bring in bigger and better acts. Also, the new budget takes care of things like the calendars that are printed every year. In the past, the administration shared the printing cost with SG, and in cases SG did not even know this. The money was just withdrawn form SG's account. Funds have also been budgeted for posters for activities. In the past, money for posters usually came from the Student Government Fund with covers expenses for supplies, phone calls, and other things needed to run SG. Increases have been budgeted for the accounts from which funds are allocated to clubs and organizations requesting aid. Galli pointed out that this does not mean that SG will give money to just anybody requesting It. The executive council also raised the class budgets because the classes have shown enthusiasm and Interest In sponsoring activities and getting students involved. Also receiving more funds will be the film committee and social committee of SG. The film committee needs greater funding because the (Continued on Page 3) ADDED HOUSING-The college has acquired space in the YMCA located across the street from Sturdevant Hall on South Franklin Street.

If the money allocation is approved, construction would begin immediately. This would give the college a new dorm for the fall of 1981. "Despite the acquisition of the YMCA, we are still pursuing the construction of a new dorm," stated Dr. Shaw. Cafeteria Space With the added dorm students, space in the cafeteria will be even · more limited than it is ·at the present time. "There would be no problem feeding the students," stated Jean Reiter, "the problem is seating them." She explained that the Housing Office and the food service company, M.W.

Selected from a total of six nominees Kosakowski was interviewed by a committee comprised of Dr. Kinney; Fred Pierantoni, WCLH station manager; Rich Nordheim, senior program director; and David DeCosmo, station con- · sultant. Noting that Kosakowski did a commendable job as public affairs director over the past year, Pierantoni added that along with his staff experience and successful interview, "Chris was the best candidate for the position." · When asked what problems the new station manager mai face next year, Pierantoni stated, "Internally WCLH has grown to its full potential. I feel it will be a fairly smooth change" of leadership next year. The senior manager went on to add that if there will be any problems at all, they are likely to occur because of falling equipment or the possible movement of the station to a new location. Kosakowski said that he was extremely happy when he learned of his promotion for the coming year. He continued that although he was very confident about being chosen as manager, there was no doubt in his mind that he would still work for the station to the best of his ability In any position. Asked about his intended relationship with next year's staff, the manager-i!lect commented, "At first I must be hard.

He strongly added that he hopes to establish one common policy between himself and Dr. •Kinner,which will ensure station unity. Commenting on the increasing popularity of WCLH, Kosakowski pointed out that the station has a great amount of community support as well as a large campus audience. He explained that, "We pull people away from other stations" . because "We try to play what people want to hear." In an effort to increase the listening audience, the new manager said that there will be some changes in the programming ·format although the one the station presently has is very good. Kosakowski would not comment on the exact changes under consideration. Eagerly looking forward to his new position, Kosakowski said that he hopes next year will be even better than the one the station is presently experiencing. He went ~ ~ Across from Bishop Hoban "We literally got screwed." That's how Commuter Council President Bill Lewis described the robbery that occurred at the CC Office during the Easter Break. The break-in was reported to the police on Tuesday morning and an estimated $700 worth of cash, c~ecks, bus tokens and parking stickers were taken. Lewis also noted that the office was not broken into, but rather the robbers had a key. In addition to the merchandise taken, the ledger that accounts for all CC transactions was also taken. "We have nothing to go on; whoever the robbers were, they knew exactly what they were doing." A similar robbery occurred to Commuter Council about two years ago and about $100 was taken. As a driect result of the robbery, Comuter Council will be forced to Umit its office hours from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock each day. In addition to the cutback in hours, CC will also be investing money into a safe with only a few members of the Executive Coucil and the administration having knowledge of the combination. "It's a shame and it will unfortunately affect our level of service." Executive Council Elections were held during the meeting.

Louis Czachor Donna Lever 22-E ml GRONTKOWSKI !Iii ~;~~~~?~;: DISTRICT DELEGATE ~~~~7·:6~~:~~· i ~,Q>~tQ>~ �Page 4, 'lbe Beacon, April 17, li80 eo·ed Housing? The Inter-Dormitory Council had been working on the possibility of coed housing for next year. Former IDC president Mike Stapleton investigated and researched the issue extensively. He wrote to several colleges that are comparable to Wilkes seeking information and read much material on the issue. A report, not a proposal, was drafted and presented to the administration for consideration. It had passed through several channels and was receiving favorable re.action. IDC has learned, however, that there will be no coed housing next year. Someone had killed the idea. Coed Housing used to be a controversial subject but it has become more and more accepted today. The reason is simple, many college administrations realize that the benefits far outweigh any Uabilities. It is a fact that vandalism in coed dorms decreases significantly. It is a fact that on the average the social maturity level of participants in coedhousingis higher than those who de;> not. It is a fact that students of coed housing learn to respect one another and tend to develop brother-sister relationships. It is a fact that coed housing does not affect grades like many assume. Many administrators of coF leges where coed housing is offered have concluded that living experiences gained through coed housing are very valuable and practical in preparing a student socially for the real world. All these facts are documented in the report that was presented. It was extensive and complete. What IDC was aiming for was an alternative lifestyle. The dorm students could have the option between coed housing or not. If Wilkes did implement-coed housing there would be no guarantee that it would follow along with the trends cited above. The only way to find out is to give it a try. If after a probationary period coed housing 'didn't seem workable for this campus it could be disc-0ntinued. IDC was asking for a chance to prove themselves and they were denied it. We feel this is a grave injustice on the part of the administration. Although we do not know the exact reasons why coed housing will not be offered next year we feel it reflects a very narrow minded attitude. As quoted in the college bulletin, "An educated man seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding." The truth about coed housing for this campus can not be understood until it is experienced. Wilkes, like many small colleges,must now compete for high school seniors to keep enrollment up. Coed housing, as an alternative lifestyle, could be a feature that will attract students. Sooner or later the administration will realize this. We hope it won't be too late. Next year the college will lease the local YMCA for 96 additional living units. Estimates have been reported that over 200 students will be living in the Hotel Sterling. The need for a new dorm is growing stronger every day. If construction ever starts for the dorm it should be built with the idea of coed housing .in mind even if no one · cares to think so at the moment. ''Over The Hill Gang'' Club Holds Initial Meeting The "Over the Hill Gang" of Wilkes College bad its first meeting on Thursday, April 9, at 8 p.m. The club was formed for the benefit of those returning to college after being out of school for a few years. Acting officers were elected: Dolores Vida, president; Dennis Hannon, vice president; Barbara Babowicz, Beeretary; and Terry Hincken, treasurer. Dr. Carl Cbarnetsld was appointed as the group's advisor. The next meeting will be on Friday, April 18 at 9 p.m. in SLC 333.

Willner Writes ForConcem ToPropertg To The Editor: This letter reflects the comments made by Mr. Raspen In his letter concerning student irresponsibility on campus. I also share his disgust that each member of the college family must contribute to the replacement of a misshappen "sculpture" of a fork and a spoon. Somehow, there are students who like to imitate Uri Geller's feats of telekinetic metal bending but by physical strength, instead of mental powet. (Uri Geller is an exIsraeli parachutist who has the psychic ability to bend keys.) Another phenomenon I am thoroughly disgusted with is the epidemic of glass breakage that is associated with ''Spring Fever." . The main reason I don't care for damage is because the said vandalism is inflicted on property used by students to publicize events on campus, namely the glass covered multi-sided bulletin board outside the cafeteria. Another reason for my latent disgust is the - damage to the glass panel of the SG Bulletin Board outside Chase Hall. In case the students out there didn't know, I am the SG Publicity and Elections Committee Chairman. One of my principal duties is that of posting materials publicizing all-college events. Among the places utilized by the committee are the two bulletin boards I have previously mentioned. Furthermore, students see the senseless need to sprinkle the letters used to publicize these events, as well as putting up stupid and nonsensical messages. 1n short, all I am asking in this last letter to The Beacon is that students top this senseless damage to college property, or "ourproperty."

How would Americans have felt if, after W.W. II, some country, say Iran. had harbored, for any reason, Hitler? Surely, we would have demanded his return for judgement of his war crimes and genocidal acts. Suppose Russia's (terroristic) security forces infiltrated our government, in the early 70's, and placed King Richard (Nixon) on the throne? Would the indulgent American people, here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. tolerate such a gross act of injustice and .diplomatic desecration? It is clear that the crimes of the Shah and his secret police against Ira- • nians have been brutal and massive. That the Shah is entitled to medical treatment, like anyone, even if accused or convicted of a crime, is not the issue. The issue is whether he is to be judged for amply documented murders and torture on a large scale. The problem of the United States Government arises from its complicity in these crimes by its reinstallation of the Shah, through the CJ.A.. on his throne in 1953 and by its continued support of him. If there is any doubt that tbe Shah was our boy, the statement of an American diplomat that "we used to run this country" should dispel that doubt. Perhaps, one needs to consider these facts next time you see a 'Free The Hostages' sticker. History makes our current position awkward, not to say hypocritical. If the U.S. really wishes to aid the Shah on humane and medical grounds, let it prove this by taking the following position : Let it propose that the Shah return his massive personal and family fortune, really stolen from the labor of and based on the oppression of the Iranian people, to Iran In full. Let it be distributed to his victims and their families. Also, the Shah (and those individuals who conspired with him l must be brought before an international world court of law, to stand trial for his horrendous criminal acts. The truth must always be given a chance to speak her Peace. The United States would gain in many ways by such a proposal. It would, as honesty requires, acknowledge that the Shah's wealth is ill gotten and was obtained under the patronage and false disguise of the United States. Our country would gain in world opinion and bring strong pressure for the release of the hostages. It would demonstrate that we truly put life above property values, something _not at all evident in our current and past policy in Iran. It would inject at least a minimum of consistency into our position that our current policy towards the Shah is based on purely humanitarian considerations. Each day, J pray for the safe release of the hostages (everywhere l . In addition, I sympathize with, support. and love those Iranians in America, who are being unjustly harassed. These individuals are being wrongly persecuted for the policies of their nation. When I travel to distant lands, I don't want to be held responsible for America's "schizo" foreign policy. Revoking visas, imposing economic sanctions. and breaking diplomatic ties with Iran, fall far short of attempting to achieve world peace. If America can strike big wheat bargains with Russia (our nuclear enemy? l, surely, other avenues of negotiation can be paved in Iran. Consider the converse: If we fall to acknowledge our complicity in the Shah's brutal regime ·through, for example, such a proposal, we associate our present policy with our past policy. If Mr. Carter really wishes to emphasize human rights, let him disassociate himself from the past. Let him acknowledge truth in the best way; by commencing Immediate restitution. In closing, I thank Robin W. Briehl (N.Y. Times - 11-13-79) for contributing much of the information contained within. FRIENDS. Today is the Future: World Peace is within all our grasps if we reach out with our minds. And the beat goes on. Keep the faith y'all.

Siegfried's Second Play, 'Angel Street' Opens To College Audience Tonight Patrick Hamilton's "Angel Street", the third production of the year, will open to the college audience tonight at 8 p.m. The play, originally presented under the title "Gas Light", has proved to be a success in most places that it has been performed. Jay Siegfried will be directing the production ; this is his second for the the year, the first was "When You Comin' Back Red Ryder". The play is basically a mystery thriller in which one of the characters, Mr. Manningham, tries to torture his wife to insanity. The game of mystery begins when a police inspector tries to uncover the convicting evidence on Manningham. Siegfried chose the play for several reasons a few being: the cast is made up of seven characters, relatively small ; the production is set in the 1880's which has given those involved the opportunity to research the time period concerning costumes, set props, and general attitudes expressed at the time. The set is also unusual for the production; this particular type has not be used yet this year, thus adding variety to plays performed this year. The set is a box set which is a three-walled set with an imaginary foruth wall. Because of the nature of the production-a suspence-mystery- the set design, lighting, costumes and such will play an extremely important part in lending to the atmosphere. Siegfried explained that it is the type of Angel Street play that most people think of when they think of plays. A curtain will be used to hide the sets from the audience until the curtain is raised adding to the mystery of the play. The director also felt that the play Is mystery at its best. The play does Is clo~ to the genre of the television series Columbo. Vincent Price at one time played the villain. The main characters of the play are Chris Golanski as "Mr. Manningham," Betsy Keller plays "Mrs. Manningham,' and John Chervak portrays " Inspector Rough'. " Curtain times for the productions will be 8 p.m. on April 17th, 18th and 19th in the Center for the Performing Arts. Wilkes College students are able to obtain 2 free tickets with the tickets being · $1.50 after thereafter. Administration, faculty, staff are given 2 free tickets with the price set at $2.50 thereafter. After tonight's performance the audience is invited to meet the cast and crew In the lounge upstairs.

The members of "Kinney Kids" won 28 trophies at this tournament. No school in the history of the Province of the Colonies has ever won that many trophies at one time. Pi Kappa Delta was founded in 1913 and is the largest national honorary forensic-debate fraternity of the United States. The society rotates its toumaments every year - one year it holds a combined national tournament (including schools from all states) and then the following year it holds province tournaments. Pi Kappa Delta has 8 provinces throughout Jhe United States. The Province of The Colonies covers the states from Maine to West Virginia (12 Atlantic states in all). Wilkes has been a member of Pi Kappa Delta for only four years but has firmly established itself as a forensic power with its impressive victory this past week. The Debate Union had represen- tation in all divisions of competition. Working with a very small number of students and a moderate budget Dr. Kinney's debaters and public speakers not only set a tournament record but brought back to the campus a wide variety of awards. The debaters captured the title of Number One School in debate. Fred B.K. Deets won a 4th place overall individual award for his debating skills, with Colleen Gries and Patti Sparlow capturing the 5th place awards. Karen Orlando completed the Wilkes sweep with an overall finish of 6th place. In discussion competition Wilkes was awarded an overall second place. This marked the first time Wilkes has entered this field of tournament competition. Three Wilkes students entered and all three came out with awards. Jon Pliskin won a 4th place overall award for competition. Darlene Schaffer and Norm Witko also received honors. However, it was in the individual public speaking events that Wilkes brought home the ''pot full of gold.'' Colleen Gries, in addition to her debate award, won a second place in extemporaneous competition, a Just bring in your resume and we'll do the rest .

Jon Pliskin won, in addition to his discussion award, a 4th place trophy in extemporaneous, a 4th place in impromptu and honors in informative speaking. Fred Deets continued to show his speaking skills from debate and won a trophy for extemporaneous speaking. Davida Roberts walked away with four individual trophies - a 5th place in rhetorical criticism, 3rd place in persuasive oratory, 2nd place in after-dinner speaking, and a 4th place trophy ,tor prose interpretation competition. Darlene Schaffer won a 4th place in rhetorical criticism, honors in prose interpretation competition, and an impressive 2nd place in informative speaking. Norm Witko got honors in prose competition, Patti Sparlow moved into honors in impromptu, and Darrell Lewis secured honors in the field of informative competition. The top speaker at the tournament (out of 100 speakers) was Colleen Gries. Wilkes was edged out of the overall first place team award by one point - first place going to the very large delegation from West Chester State College. With just nine students Wilkes secured the overall second place team award and brought the College to the attention of the entire tournament. Wilkes went into the competition ranked 19th in the East and 10th in the nation. The tournament was co-hosted by Shippensburg State College and York College. The actual tournament was held in York, Pa. In addition to all the award and honors won by the Debate Union another recognition to the College came when Dr. Bradford Kinney was elected to the office of Lieutenant Governor of the Province of the Colonies. Dr. Kinney and Prof. Susan Miskelly (Governor) of Bridgewater State College, Bridgewater, Mass. will be in charge of the development and coordination of forensics-debate activities for the twelve-state area for the next two years. Dr. Kinney was also recognized as the best "twister" at the annual Pi Kappa Delta Dance Contest. To add to their list of victories, Wilkes just two weeks ago received national recognition when Davida Roberts was recognized as a qualifier for competition in the American Forensic Association's Championship Individual Events Tournament. The senior along with her team mates participated in District Seven competition of the AFA at George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. Davida was the qualifier from this tournament for rhetorical criticism and became one of twenty-four to receive a bid to participate in the AF Atourney. The awards won this past week raise the number of awards won by the 1979-80 Debate Union to 58 for the year and overall to 336. Debate and forensics is coached by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the Communications Division.

This past Sunday was the second annual Visitation Day. The purpose of Visitation Day is to give students an introduction to the college's faculty, administration, student body, facilities and programs. The day began around 9: 15 a.m. with registration in the gym. Robert S. Capin then addressed the students and their families ; they were able to tour the campus and listen to speakers participate in various program happenings around campus. Several faculty members and administrators addressed groups of students on, such topics as "Transfer Policies, " "Academic Standards and Expectations", sli_.e present11tions, and a student personnel panel discussion was open to all freshmen. Members of the faculty and student body were set up in the Stark lobby to answer questions that the students may have. Those clubs and organizations that were present in the lobby were out in full force to acquaint new students; there were quite a few clubs that didn't bother to send representatives. Close to 1000 people were present on the Wilkes campus to guide and introduce the incoming students. More student were present than last year and the Admissions Office considers it a definite success. �Page 8, The Beacon, April 17, 1980 Captures Four Ot,cars • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Housing Situation Discussed At IDC ·~~ll That Jazz,, Seen As Brilliant "It's showtime!" - this Is a line used throughout the movie 'All That Jazz' and Is probably most prevalent in the vocabulary of Bob Fosse. Fosse is a well-known choreographer-director on Broadway and has most recently brought his expertise and brilliance to the screen in the interesting and different hit movie "All That Jazz." Fosse has won a Tony Award for his work in his Broadway creation "Dancin" and "All That Jazz" was nominated for nine Academy Awards; the film won four Oscars including Best Art Direction, Best Adaptation Score, Best Costume Design, and Outstandini Film Editing. .These awards alone show the high quality of technical merit · contained in "All That Jazz." "All That Jazz" is largely autobiographical and the character Joe Gideon, played by Roy Scheider, Is a perfect stand-in for Fosse himself. Fosse has written and also directed the film which includes the staging of his own death scene and an actual filming of openheart surgery. Gideon, a writer, choreographer, film director, womanizer, is somewhat like a high-flying moth slowly being drawn to that allconsuming flame. In the film, he never slows down, not even while hospitalzied. Gideon seems to have an obsession with death and to him death has taken the form of a beautiful woman played by Jessica Lange. Death finally calls him ·in the last number, "Bye, Bye Life." Ann Reinking, the dazzling dancer in "Dancin' " turns in a stunning performance and proves herself more than a dancer. The musical numbers in the film are excellent and show Fosse's versatility; they are not only unusual and dazzling · but . are performed with precision pace and rhythm. Whether or not you bring any of Fosse's personal life into the film, you can still enjoy the totality of the film and experience its great scope and dimension. What's vital about the movie musical of Fosse is the driving choreography and Roy Scheider's excellent performance of a director at the end of his rope.

Last week the Colonels of Coach Tom Rokita lost a strong Scranton University team by a score of 9-0. The Colonels, however, played remarkably well without the services of first-seeded sophomore Dave Battle. Coach Rokita was forced to alter the lineup therefore the Colonels lost some tough matches they would have probably won had Battle been there. Junior Stan Manoski and freshman Marcus Eckert played tough, smart matches against two of the top college players in the area. Rokita expects the ~am to do much better when the Blue and Gold take on the Royals on April 21. Wilkes then took to the road· for the first time against Susquehanna University. Both teams have a reputation for playing close tough matches. SU had a 4-2 lead going into the double matches. After winning the first two, the Colonels needed only one more match to take the victory. However, the netmen were downed and suffered a 5-4 decision. Shocked and upset over their 0-3 slate, the Colonels let out their frustrations by downing the Indians of Juniata from Huntingdon, Pa. Wilkes took the win with a 7-1score. Under threatening skies and a gusty wind, the team rolled to its initial victory of the 1980 campaign. Gaining points in singles competition were Dave Battle, Mike Hromchak, Stan Manoski, Marcus Chuck Robbins ... BY EDDIE WHITE III TUNING UP, Shown are two members of the tennis team practicing for the upcoming roadtrip. Eckert and Bill Murtagh. Manoski and Eckert, and Barry Sweeto and Murtagh took doubles wins for the Blue and Gold. The Colonels were expected to have an excellent season and beating Juniata may be the last hurdle the Blue and Gold will have to face. Coach Rokita said after the match, "a win is just what this.team needed at this point in the season." DROP-SHOTS: ...

Bob Buchsbaum Golfers Lose: We Accept Master Charge and Visa I Well it's official, I think. President Carter has announced that he will do anything in his power to stop any athletes from going to the Soviet Union to participate in the upcoming summer Olympics. That is one of the few issues we agree on with that old peanut farmer from the south. Still can't figure out how the United States Olympic Committee keeps insisting it is very interested in the American athletes and would like them to participate. They come into the spotlight now, but where were they when Bob Seagren had his poles taken away from him? And where were they when two American sprinters were not told the right time for an event? We agree with Howard Cosen when he says the problem isn't with the president or the athletes themselves, it's with the U.S. Olympic Committee. They better straighten themselves out or we might never be in an Olympics again! You have to admire the stand taken by the greatest lady to ever touch a basketball - Nancy Lieberman. She quit the United States Olympic team saying, she agrees with the president and thinks that we are all Americans first, and athletes second. It took a lot of guts for her to do that, and she should be credited. Now if only a few others would have enough sense to realize what a serious problem this is and back our country. 408-425 To King's SPORTING GOODS COMPANY II I Book and Record Mart I ll S.

D O 1 1 FLANNEL SHIRTS BETWEEN THE WHITE LINES \ J Oil a,. One guy who you might see smiling because of the United States boycott is WBRE-Radio's Joe Gries. Gries told this writer, that if NBC does not cover the Olympics, {and they won't if we don't go ) then the WBRE Metro Intercollegiate Conference {MIC ) dinner will have a topnotch NBC sports personality as its speaker. Hey Joe, if you can't get Al McGuire or Billy Packer, we'll settle for Bob "gibby" Gibbon. The Wilkes baseball team looks like it has regained the great pitching that long-time Colonel followers will remember from the days of Stehle and Kresky. But where has the "lumber company" gone? If anybody knows, please contact Dave Kaschak before he goes bald! The Colonels are just not hitting in the key spots and Kaschak has done everything with the lineup except insert assistant coach Mike Broda and himself in the order. Hey, that's not a bad idea! Former Wilkes College pitching coach Jerry Bavitz, who set the ground-work for the success of the year's Wilkes hurlers, is now head • coach at Nanticoke Area High School. Bavitz,known as the "bear" had his coaching debut last week in a 9-7 loss to .Bishop Hoban.The Trojans are not expected to be that tough this year.but Bavitz's bunch showed they won't be a push-over as they came back against the Argents after being down 9-0 at one time. Former Wilkes College men's basketball coach Rodger Bearde is now head baseball coach at Lake Lehman High School. The Beardmen should have a good year. Remember," "Roger the Dodger" was a bonus baby out of high school, signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates! Our sources say the Colonel cagers next year won't get new uniforms. It figures! Don't you think anybody in the big white castle would realize how embarrassing it is for the team, and the college with those ugly white old home uniforms. They don't care, all they want is their picture in paper. Another source of ours tells us the King's College school paper should be in great shape, sports-wise, next year with Matt Engel leading the way. Matty is a good one, who is.always attending sports events -either at Scranton, Wilkes or King's. Matty reports the Monarchs will be tough to beat next year in basketball as Ed Donohue is hot on the recruiting trail and should come home with some top-notch prospects. We send our best wishes out to a super 1,1thlete in Diane Kendig who this past week earned first-team All-American status. It's a tribute to her, the team and Coach Nancy Roberts who did a super job in her first year of collegiate coaching. New coaches Roberts and Righter have brightened up Weckesser Annex. You have to admire the hard-work of Wilkes women's athletic director Doris Saracino. She's always on the go and is one of the folks we're really going to miss when we leave here in May. Without Doris, the Wilkes women's program would have died. Who's that tanned young "Italian Stallion" walking around the campus? Why its Wilkes football co-captain Carmen "Homer" "Meatball" LoPresto, who just returned from a vacation to the Bahamas. We received some hassle over our comments on Luzinski and Jackson in the last issue. Well the slim-downed Bull blasted a three run homer his first time up this year. If there is a full season, look for the Bull to garner the MVP with 40 homers, 130 rbi's and a .345 average. Reggie . could not do that in a decade.

Jim Phelan does a super job there for the Mounties! �Page 10, The Beacon, April 17, 1980 Colonels Finally Open 1980 Campaign· Believe it or not, since · the last Beacon, the Wilkes College baseball team HAS PLAYED! Yes, our beloved Colonels own a 4-2 overall mark and a 2-1 MAC slate at press time. This does not include Tuesday's non-conference twin-bill with East Stroudsburg State. Today the Blue and Gold will travel to Reading to meet Albright College in a 1:00 doubleheader which will count in the MAC standings. On Saturday, Wilkes will travel to · Doylestown to meet Delaware Valley for two games before returning home on April 21 to host Division II Bloomsburg State in a 2:00 double-heder at Artillery Park. ·And on '«ednesday, April 23, the Blue and Gold will host Scranton University at2:00. After seeing two straight The Colonels then took Its 2-1 overall slate into a MAC doubleheader with Elizabethtown on the road. For the second time this year, the Colonels wasted excellent pitching in a 1-0 opener loss. Soph Dave Taylor was the victim here. Wilkes came back to take the second game 3-2 behind the topnotch hurling of sophomore Steve Swanson and Vlahovic, who record~ ed another save. This past Saturday, the Colonels hosted MAC foe Susquehanna University in what was supposed to be a doubleheader. Well they played 14 innings, but it wasn't two games. The two clubs locked horns a/ in a four and one half hour, 14inning marathon in the opener and never had enough time to play the second game. The Blue and Gold took the game 9-8 behind the offensive play of Morrissey, who had a school record six hits including three singles, two doubles and a homer. He also had two rbi's and three runs scored while catching all 14 frames behind r the plate. Way to go Jim! As if we had to tell you, reliever Vlahovic came on to pick up the victory. Wilkes, behind the hurling of ace DeFelice took a 3-2 lead into the seventh frame (last inning). But SU . tallied three runs in the top of the last with two out and Wilkes was down 5-3. But the Colonels came back to tie the game at 5-5 after seven. Again, Susquehanna took a 7-5 lead in the 13th inning, but Wilkes tied it again. , And then in the 14th, SU took a one-run lead 8-7. Morrissey knocked in Rich Borofski with a single to give Wilkes the win. Borofski had tripled in Brezenski who had walked with the tying run. The Wilkes baseball team is better than its overall mark of 4-2 indicates, but the reason for the close games and two losses it no hitting. The Colonels are not getting the clutch hitting and have left more men on base these six games than almost all of last year. On the other hand, the pitching has been super. The team era is 1.70 and the worst era on the staff is a 3.00. Not too shabby, and to think there are some tough pitchers who have yet to hurl in 1980. Hopefully the offensive attack will pick up and some bench-men will get a shot where others have failed. Remember, if one guy does not do the job, another has to take his place . •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• BOWLING RESULTS •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1 Coach Kaschak doubleheaders get rained out, the Colonels finally opened the year with a single game at home against Muhlenberg College. Bolstered by homers by Chris DaRe, Phil Marino and Chick Andrewscavage, the Colonels downed the Mules. Jim Kearney got the win. · Then came a non-conference doubleheader with cross-town rival King's College at the Monarchs' home field in Swoyersville. King's shutout Wilkes 1-0 in the opener, defeating Wilkes ace Carl Defelice. It was the first time in 109 games dating back to 1976 that Wilkes had been shutout. The last time that occurred, Elizabethtown shutdown Gene Domzalski's Colonels 1-0. Wilkes managed only four hits in the opener against King's in a game which typified the Colonels' attack so far in 1980. Where has the "lumber company" gone? The Colonels saved some respect in the nite-cap coming back to win 3-1 over an under-rated King's squad. Big hit for Wilkes was a booming opposite field homer by senior catcher Jim Morrissey. Senior Ken Hodick picked up the win for Wilkes but needed relief help from · sophomore Tony "Sparky" Vlahovic, who has really come on to shine for Wilkes. At press-time, Vlahovic had accumulated two saves, recorded his first career win for a 1-0 slate and owns a era somewhee around 1.50. SuperjobT.V.! Two teams are definitely in the play-offs, while four more are left to fight for the two remaining berths ·as the Wilkes College Mixed League neared the end of the regular season last Friday evening. The Avengers (Lisa Prokarym 442) clinched the Pacific Division pennant by sweeping the EE 's 3-o while the Whippets (Craig Jackson 172460) were able to take only two of three from The Force.

Bud's magic number for clinching the Atlantic Division remains at two. In the Midwest Division showdown the Aristocrats picked an opportune time to complete their first sweep of the year; led by Ed Salley's excellent 222-574 and Steve Levitski's 510, the Aristocrats humbled the Assorted Nuts to take a two-game lead over those Nuts.

Wilkes started the season with a 5-4 victory over Widener College and reached the 2-0 mark with a Maryland forces returned shortly after to even up the sides. Adams is currently sharing the top scoring position with Rich Modica, a sophomore from Plainview, N.Y. Both have contributed 8 goals and 3 assists for a total of 11 points in MAC contest's. Modica hit f r decisive 11-5 win over Dickinson College. But the past 3 contest's brought bad news for the stickmen and they are currently 2-2 in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC > and 2-3 overall. The Blue and Gold was hoping to garner a victory over Western Maryland or FDU Madison to remain in the race for a playoff berth, but fell both times. The Western Maryland match was played before a large cheering section which did a fine job at riling the coach but couldn't shake up the players. The Western Maryland squad withstood the seven-goal Wilkes rally to edge out a 12-11 decision. With the Colonels trailing 11-4 entering the second half, the explosive 7-1 scoring spree wasn't quite good enough. Wilkes had a three man advantage late in the fourth period and was only able to generate one goal with the time running out. Senior Billy Adams, Bethpage, N.Y. found the range with 1:40 remaining, but the the nets three times and assisted once against the Maryland team. Senior Mark Sanfers, West Islip, N.Y. added two goals and an assist while Joe Burnett, a senior from Binghamton, N.Y. found the range once for our Colonels. Goaltender Dave Singer, a junior from Fairlawn, N.Y. turned aside 19 Maryland shots. Also breaking the scoring ranks for the Blue and Gold were Freshmen Larry Buffaloe and Eric Farber, junior co-captain Pete Canine and sophomore John Nordstrom. Buffaloe, a freshman from Hempstead, N.Y. is one of the Colonels quicker players and tallied an assist in the game. Farber, a good attackman from Cherry Hill, N.J. registered a goal, while Canine, and Nordstrom, Whitehouse Station, N.J. each had an assist for the locals. Wilkes didn't have any luck on Saturday either, dropping a 16-4 verdict to FDU Madison on the Wilkes field. Rich Modica registered two Wilkes goals, while Sanders and Adams had one a piece. Burnett added an assist to the Colonel cause. Although Sanders was winning most of the face-offs in the mid-field position, the FDU team was too strong. Wilkes just didn't play up to its potential Saturday as the numerous spectators concluded. Several times the opponent stole the ball from behind and made it look easy. Coach Blesi noted, "I was disappointed at first, but realized we were outweighed in talent against FDU". The FDU stickmen are ranked 15th in the Division III competition, behind Williams College and number 13 Western Maryland. Blesi pointed out that the first period score was 1-0, favor FDU and the half score was 5-2, but our guys really played hard in the first half and ran out of gas in the second. "The defense was tough the first half, with the Pohorely's Glenn and Gregg and freshman phenomena Larry Buffaloe. The Pohorley's, sophomore's from Whitehouse Station, N.Y. are two of the Colonel's big guy's, as Glenn tips the scale at 205 and Gregg is 185. The second mid-field of freshmen Tracy Cloth, Kevin Cavanaugh and Alex Rae have been showing promise and will probably see a lot of action in the future. Also battling for a starting berth is junior Jeff Harper, who is in h1s second yer of lacrosse. The Colonel lacrossemen have brighter day's ahead as the schedule ·is going to get easier as they go on. On Wednesday, Wilkes was slated to travel to Haverford College in an effort to avenge a one goal loss of ayer ago. On Saturday, Upsala College will be in town for a 2 p.m. encounter and the Blue and Gold will have an open date on April 23. Looking ahead, Wilkes is on the road to Swarthmore April 26.

After much consideration by President Capin, the presidential staff, and the Board of Trustees, the proposed co-ed housing policy will not be implemented next year. President Capin stated that he consulted with his Staff, which is composed of Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs; Dr. Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions; _Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management; George Ralston, Dean of.Student Affairs; Dr. Thomas Kelly, Dean of External Affairs and Joseph · Chisarick, Controller. After this, the proposal was brought before the Board of Trustees. The Board makes the final decision concerning any changes of college policy. He continued that the administration does not see the proposal as "Co-ed housing," but rather, housing alternatives. "Housing alternatives could Beacon Editorial Staff Ch_osen For 1980-1981 Academic Year The editorial staff of The Beacon has been selected and approved for the 1980-81 academic year. Patti Sparlow, a Junior communication studies major from Kingston, and Margaret Scholl a Junior business administration major from Edwardsville will assume the positions of Editor-InChief and Managing Editor. Since the selection committee found both candidates possessing equal capabilities, Patti will serve as Editor-In-Chief the fall semester with Margaret as her Managing Editor. In the Spring semester they will switch positions making Margaret the Editor-In-Chief and Patti second in command. .The responsibilities of both positions involve coordination of the efforts of the entire staff to publish a weekly newspaper throughout the school year. The Editor-In-Chief is the one who is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the publication. Patti has served on the staff for two years and was this year's Copy Editor. Margaret has also been on the staff for two years and has most recently served as the Op-Ed Editor. In the news department threeyear veteran Louis Czachor, a Junior mathematics major from Wilkes-Barre, has been promoted to the position of News Editor. He served this year as Asst. News Editor. Louis will be assisted by a newcomer to the editorial staff, Darlen_e Schaffer, a Sophomore communications studies major from Ashley. Darlene has been with the staff for one year covering Commuter Council. Lisa Gurka, a Sophomore Communications Studies and Sociology major from WilkesBarre, will take on the position of Copy-Editor. Lisa has been with the staff for one year as a reporter and is also a member of the WCLF-FM radio staff. Taking over the Sports Department will be Peter Steve, a Junior Communications Studies Major from Wilkes-Barre. Pete has been with the Staff for two years and served as this year's News Editor. Sports is nothing new to Pete, but writing about it will be a whole new experience. David Clanton, author of the column Campus Commentary, will be next years Op-ed Editor. He is a Sophomore from Deerfield, Illinois and is a biology major. Dave joined the staff j_ust this past semester but has proven himself as a capable editor. His assistant will be Mary Kay Pogar, a Sophomore biology major from Hazleton. Mary Kay has been on the staff for one year serving as a reporter. Her chief assignment all year was to cover the Inter-Dormitory .Council meetings. Rounding out the editorial staff, Vanessa Martz, a junior accounting major from Chambersburg, will serve as the business manager. She was this year's advertising manager. Michele Serafin· will be next year's Advertising manager. The sophomore accounting major from Dupont was this year's Circulation Manager. These selections were made after each candidate applied for a position and was interviewed by the selection committee. The committee members were as follows: Dean Arthur Hoover, Dr. Brad Kinney, Dr. Walter Karpinich, Mrs. Jane Manganella, George Pawlush, Dr. Lee Terry, Edward White III and Jim Edwards. ''Manuscript'' Staff Selected For Next Year The Student Publications Committee recently approved the staff positions for next year. The selection of the Manuscript staff is decided by an election process. Barbara Metroka has been elected by seven votes as editor-inchief of the college's literary magazine. Barbara, a junior art major, served as art editor this past year. She is a resident of Courtdale. Ellen Krupack brought in six votes which won her assistant editor for the second consecutive year. Ellen is a sophomore English and computer science major from Wilkes-Barre. Serving as Art Editor will be Lynn Taylor. She is currently a sophomore art major from Bayville, N.Y. mean men and women living on alternate floors or separate · wings," he stated, "Many people get the wrong idea when the term co-ed housing is used.'' There are many reasons for not making the proposal policy, Capin said. First, there is an acute housing shortage on campus, and this is a priority over a . change in policy. He believes that the inadequate number of housing spaces must be dealt with before any housing alternatives can be considered. Moreover, no firm decisions have been made for a new dorm. If the college does build a dorm, however, the discussion is always open for · possibility. This would not be a good time to change the housing policy, he stated, e1eplaining that the freshman class for next year has already been recruited under the present policy. ''This year would leave the Admissions Office open for criticism by some parents," he said. If a decision is made for housing alternatives, it would be made in the fall or spring for the year there after. For example, if an alternative housing policy was approved in April of 1980, it would be implemented in the 1981-1982 academic year. "This two year lead time is necessary to allow for the planning of putting the policy into action," Capin said. Many of the facilities on campus are not built to allow for alternative housing. Dorms such as New Men's are the best type for housing alternatives. The old homes, which house most of the females, are not well suited for a change such as this one. Finally, the Board of Trustees must approve the change before it is policy.

From left to right are Patti Sparlow, Celleen Gries, Nena Wl&ko ud Darlene Schaffer, who achieved honors in the natioaal discassion contest. The speech division has won another national award for the college. Members of the Small Group Communication class, under the direction of Dr. Bardford Kinney and the debate union · received notice that their taped entry in the 29th annual National Discussion Contest, hosted by Ute University of Georgia, has been judged one of the best three tapes in the nation. The contest was public discussion · on the topic: "Should all United States students be required to pass a standard subject examination to graduate from high school?" The tournament was conducted through the use of tape recordings and judged by some of the top communication educators in the country on the basis of technique and content. · It was reported last week that Wilkes moved through the preliminary rounds. The top 30 . tapes judged as the best advanced into the semi-finals. Wilkes was entered in the grand championship round. This round was conducted at the Southern Speech Communication Convention in Biloxi, Mississippi. The outcome of this event has not vet been determined. The award winning team consisted of Norm Witko, moderator; Colleen Gries; Patti Sparlow and Darlene Schaffer. Most contestants for this national tournament are coached and directed for between four and six months prior to entry. Dr. Kinney started bis group in February and sent the tape entry to Athens, Georgia in March. This left only one month for the preparation of the presentation. This tournament marks the second time that a joint effort between the debate union and an academic course has been attempted for national recognition. Dr. Kinney hopes that this will be the first of many opportunities for students interested in speech communication to gain experience and to sharpen their skills in discussion and debate. This award adds more honors to the speech program. Debate and forensics won 60 awards this academic year, including numerous honors in public speaking, debate, and now discussion on tile intercollegiate and national levels. There may be another position open due to the resignation of Les Nicholas. Pierantoni stated that Saba was the best candidate for Program Director because of his two year station experience. Coupled with his experl~c_e ~ . a D.J. and It was announced earlier this week by Fred Pierantoni, WCLH Station Manager, that George Saba was selected as Program Director for the 1980-81 fiscal year. ' Besides Saba, there were six other candidates vying for the position including: JohnSczcepanski, Bruce Nachlis, Stan Ray, Kendall McNeil, Ernie College, and Ron LaBatch. According to Pierantoni, it was a very close race for the second highest position on the executive staff, with much deliberation involved in making the final decision. Because all of the candidates were equally qualified, the second and third finishers in the interviewing process were elected to junior executive staff positions. These two station members are John Sczcepanski and Ernie Coll~ge. reporter, Saba also had the most impressive interview of all the candidates. Pierantoni commented that Saba showed a real interest in ,the station, and would be a definite assett to next year's executive staff.

SG vice-president Marla Brodsky stated that she felt that the proposal should not be approved and she suggested that SG write a letter to the faculty asking them to reject the proposal. (For more information: see the letter to the editor, page 7 in this issue from Marla Brodsky and Gayle Lovering. It gives a detailed account of the point Miss Brodsky made at the SG meeting.) Joe Gallj, SG pre&ident, asked the representatives for their opinions regarding the issue. Ann Cardillo said that she agreed with Marla, and she made the point that although academics is important, athletics has its importance too. Freshman rep Elaine Kerchusky added that many students need other activities to help them make it through the school year. She continued by saying that she thinks many students would do worse if they were not allowed to participate in athletics and other activities. Brodsky made the point that the athletic committee agrees that the proposal should not be passed. Dean Hoover clarified Brodsky's point by noting that the committee class citizens" at the college. He added that if a student is allowed to be in school, he should be able to participate in all activities regardless of whether or not he is on probation. In conclusion he- said that the chairman of the athletic committee, Mr. James DeCosmo will express ..the feelings of that committee at the next faculty meeting which is on Thursday, May 1. Joe Galli ended the discussion by saying that He, Marla Brodsky, Ana Nunez and the SG advisors will prepare a letter to be sent to the faculty. In other business, Galli announced that next year's SG parliamentarian will be Ana Nunez. Also, he announced that committee chairpersons had been selected for next year. Ana Nunez and Dana Shaffer will chair the academic comittee. The publicity' and elections committee will be chaired by Chris Fellin and Rob Doty.

It has been proposed that van- dalism to these doors had occurred because they were locked too early, so that students returning to their dorms late at night tried to break in the doors rather than walk all the way around the building to the main entrance to enter the dorm. As a result, it was proposed that the outside doors be kept unlocked until a later time. These would be the outside doors to Butler, Roosevelt and Warner Houses. It was noted that the possibility of theft occurring on the first floor would increase if these doors were left open, but since no rep was preNOTICE sent from any of the three dorms Any Student Government that would be affected, no decision representative who has not yet was made on the matter.

It seems that this year SG got its act together and will now be able to push forward in making policies to meet student needs. SG had a good year, but there is still room for improvement. At times, a person trying to get in touch with Blumfield found it very hard to do so. An SG president should make himself more available to the students. Blumfield deserves much credit for completing an evaluation of the representatives so that everyone could see what kind of job each rep had done. No one person could evaluate each rep as Blumfield could because he was the one person who knew them well enough and had seen them all work. For the most part his evaluations were accurate and fair.

However, the important thing is that the management is working well with IDC, and is trying to better the service in the cafeteria. Williams is to be commended for his work in trying to improve the service and for his recep. liveness to student complaints. The Maintenance Committee, under the chairmanship of Jon Pliskin also showed great improvement over last semester. Several attempts had been made this year to make this a working committee, with little success. However, Pliskin helped to make the committee more organized and effective. Stapleton also attempted to improve IDC by revising the constitution and by setting down specific rules for the duties of each of the IDC committees. Although this may not seem to be of major importance, specifying the duties of each committee will guide the chairpeople of those committees and will give them definite goals for the year. This will eliminate the uncertainty as to the exact function of the committee. One improvement that will not be noticed until next year will be the resultant effect of sending the newly-elected president, Janine Tucker to the N.A.C.U.R.H. conference this summer. The new president will have the chance to see what other dormitory councils are doing and thus will bring back new ideas. She will also be able to become more secure in her position as president before the year even starts.

However, more than a few dorm reps were absent from the last 2or 3 meetings, but this may be attributed more to "spring fever" than to any other cause. In other areas, IDC attempted to enhance campus life by sponsoring several events. The most recent was the Pajama Party in the Student Center, which IDC members felt was a success. With CC, IDC sponsored several parties; Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Saint Patrick's Day; all of which were quite successful. Also, IDC was partially responsible for bringing Hidy Ochai to Wilkes. IDC also put great effort into making co-ed housing a reality at Wilkes. However, the President's Staff felt that there was not enough time to institute co-ed housing for next year. Since IDC has brought the matter this far, the institution of co-ed housing at Wilkes should be one of the first issues considered next year. One more improvement seen in IDC for this year must be noted: a willingness and ability to work with CC, which helped to bring the two organizations closer together. One of the major issues at Wilkes has been the rift between commuter and dorm students. While the cooperation of CC and IDC on joint activities will not solve this problem entirely, it at least sel'.'Ves as · evidence that commuter and dorm students can work together well. Overall, then, IDC had a fairly good semester, showing improvements in many areas. Some of the more outstanding reps who contributed to these improvements, aside from Stapleton and Sibilia, were; Bruce Wiliams, Jon Pliskin, Janine Tucker, Shep Willner and Dina Campbell. Also worthy of special mention is Andy Haryluk, who was this year's treasurer. Haryluk kept accurate records and managed the financial matters well. With Dina Cambell, he worked as chairperson of the Valentine's Day Party which turned out to be a success. With the contributions of these reps, most of whom will return next year, IDC can.improve greatly. One improvement that could be considered is increasing the number of activities sponsored by IDC, especially of more diverse activities, such as the cross-country skiing day suggested by Sibilia which was cancelled due to lack of time and snow. It is also important that the entire executive council become more involved in discussions and in the enactment of new ideas. The assertiveness of the president will also be crucial in these matters. The chronic problem of absenteeism must also be dealt with, although this is a very difficult problem to solve. The IDC president might consider contributing to the SG newsletter proposed by Joe Galli, SG president. Not only would this inform all students of IDC activities, but it might also increase interest in IDC itself. Mary Kay Pogar �Page 6, The Beacon.

The Wyoming Valley United Way assists tutorial so that, with Continued on Page 10 Campus CommenJD,rg OlgmpicBogcott 'lbe question of whether or not to go to Moscow for the 1!8) Olympics has · become one whose proportions have spread into the entire world. 1be two chief sides in this question, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R., have made accusations and counter-accusations against each other as both have attempted to lobby for maximum support from other nations. In the middle of these two protagonists are other nations and for the first time since World War II many are finding themselves forced to define allegiances clearly and openly. . 1be whole question of the Summer Olympics raises numerous other questions, the most significant among these being the international codes of conduct, on international law and on the morality of nations, especially the big and powerful ones. Soviet action in Afghanistan no doubt calls for unequivocal condemnation and denounciation, yet in doing so, other nations, specifically European nations and the U.S., have to proceed carefully and with long term implications of their mode of protesting Soviet action in Afghanistan lest they themselves be caught in their own web in future. A boycott of the Summer Olympics by any nation automatically binds that nation, because such a boycott is in protest of the Soviet violation of not only the sovereignty and territorial intergrity of Afghanistan but of international law as well, to itself refrain from any future acts which may be even remotely inviolation of the sovereignties of other nations. 1bls raises a question pointed directly at those nations which have deemed it proper to boycott the Moscow games. The question is more specifically pointed at the super and what I will call "medium" powers; "Can any super-power or powerful nation continue to be such without at some stage or other and for some reason or other trampling whether directly or indirectly upon smaller nations?" 1be past has tended to numerously demonstrate that big nation in pursuit of what has often been called whether rightly or wrongly "national security" have activell interfered in the domestic affairs of other nations. Thus J maintain tba no big power can valldly adopt a "bolier than thou aWtude" towards any other big nation as all such countries have at some stage or other violated international codes of national conduct, and this is an established fact. What has differed between such nations has been the ways in which these violations have been perpetrated. In the case of the Soviet Union they have been open and blatant while in the case of Western powers these have been surreptitious and disguised under many cloaks, an example being the destabilization of governments who have fallen out of . favor and their subsequent replacement with those willing to tow the line. The cost of these destabilizations in terms of human lives has often been disregarded, and this carries us to the next point. Another reason which has ~ cited for boycotting the Olympics has been that Moscow is now holding Afghan citizens in brutal subjugation and in violation of human rights and the right of people to determine their own . destiny as a nation. Any nation which boycotts the Olympics automatically binds itself to refraining from any acts which might be deemed as promoting both imperialism and the holding of people under subjugation by unpopular governments. This is particularly true if these acts are dealings of an economic and military nature with such governments, for might held by the oppressor is a pre-~ite for any form of oppression. Yet the Western -world has, while bemg the spearhead of the bid to boycott the Moscow Olympics, regrettably enabled in many cases repressive governments to bold entire nations under subjugation by providing the economic and military means with which such governments have been able to perpetuate nefarious policies. Perhaps this argument will be better illustrated witli an example, that of South Africa. The West continues to further strengthen the White minority and racist government of South Africa despite full knowledge of the atrocities which that regime has committed and which atrocities have come to be on par with those of Nazi Germany in the Second Reich in their bl'lltality. "But," some have argued, "South Africa's policies are her internal affairs"-yet S.A. has numerously invaded the territories of her neighbors, especially Zambia and Angola, in violation of international law and in blatant disregard for the sovereignty of other nations and the sanetity of human life. Yet these violations have raised h~y a protest amongst the prime movers of the Olympics boycott, leading me to conclude that the issue of Afgbanlstan has come about as an outfling of the ideological struggles between the East and the West. The prime movers of the boycott have numerously frustrated the aspirations of South Africa's indigenous people to self detemination by.numerously blocking or vetoing bids to expel South Africa from the U.N. with the excuse that such action would signal the death threes of dialogue and peaceful moves to bring a transition of power to the Africans who comprise 71 percent of her population form the White population which comprises 23 percent of her population. With this, it is interesting to note that South Africa does not recognize U.N. resolutions whre it is In her nefarious interests to do so as her intransigence over the issue of South. West Africa which she continues to administer under the defunct League of Nations mandate system and in .defiance of the U.N. has numerously and adequately ~ - This example has often made a mockery of many Western nations' claim togenuine concern about violations of human rights. An Olympic boycott under other circumstances would pebaps have been an appropriate show of protest, but in these for which it Is being instigated such a boycott is hardly the wisest thing. If any group of nations is concerned about Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, it is neither symbolic action nor ideologlcal victories which will help the Afghans, but some form of concrete action. When the Olympics torch bums· in Moscow and athletes parade before the Soviet leadership, a few Western nations will be conspicuously absent, yet the Afghan landscape will still be rocking under Soviet ground .and air strikes. Whatever .victory will come out of the boycott will merely be ideological and thus be of a nature in wbicb the Afghans have little interest. To quote Otto von Bismarcb, it is not be speechifying that issues of the day can be solved, but by blood and iron.

Freshman director Jay Siegfried and his tro~pe ~f ~eralded freshmen actors turn m a performance which is fresh, exciting and as professional as we can expect. Freshmen honors are in order!! ! Exl)erience demand:; respect in IDraft Questi;;;ip~;~d Whenever nations have felt threatened by others or have embarked on aggressive policies, it is the youth of those nations who have been called upon to defend the motherland or to be the instruments of these aggressive policies. In the old days of chivalry, honor and great noble ideals, the call of the bugle to battle was often responded to without question or hesitation. Young people went into war without any thought about personal safety. To die or forever carry the scars of battle in the name of the country, king or some ideal were considered a great honor. The modern times have somewhat changed this situation. A close examination of the attitudes of young people in various nations towards war reveals that there can no longer be one formula which one can apply to the youth of all nations and their thinking. Different social, political and other trends have produced a whole spectrum of opinion in different lands. Of prime interest here are the opinions of some of the youth of America on the issues of war, of the merits and demerits of pursuing passive or pugnacious policies and on the wisdom or folly of acting as the policeman of the world, in short, it is the opinions of the youth on pursuing a course similar to that of President Truman's "containment policy." These questions have come as a result of a geographically rem_ote incident, the Soviet military thrust the theater, and none but the highest goes to Klaus Holm, not only for his beautiful, realistic setting, but also, for the masterful display of · stage lighting, which playwright Patrick Hamilton cleverly has wrought into the script. Particularly stunning is the imperceptible shift of . the outdoor light streaming in the window from late afternoon to twilight. The high standard of guest actor, John Chervak, provides for his colleagues the very example of diedication and humility, in his magnificent portrayal of Sgt. Rough ; the lovable, eccentric detective. John commands attention from his first entrance, and brings out the best of his fellow actors through the remainder of the action. His experience gains our respect unasked. Jay Siegfried, is no novice, to the theater, even though Angel Street is only his second attempt at the CPA. Once again he nudges us to the edge of our seats, with pounding. hearts, thrilled, if only that the hero remembers his hat ! Mr. Siegfried deserves, if nothing else, recognition for nurturing a freshman cast into a believable, highly respected troupe. Betsy Keller heads the freshmen with a portrayal of the abused wife, Bella, that we find exciting and sincere. Her vocal choices, with diligence, can eventually match the physical flex- Of Campus into Afghanistan, which has precipitated in the U.S. the possibility of the reinstatement of the draft and mandatory military service for all able bodied and young citizens. Since it is essenUally the young people that this issue affects and since most of the Wilkes College student body falls within this category, a randomly selected cross-section of the student body was interviewed on this matter. The responses to some of the questions asked were almost as many as the people who were interviewed. When asked what he felt about the draft, a sophomore student replied that he felt it was uncalled for. This student who we shall call Mr. X since he requested anonymity said he felt that what was happening in Afghanistan called for mere condemnation and not for frantic preparations for war which after ali, he said, would not come in the foreseeable future. When I asked Mr. X what he felt about the fact that the Soviet thrust had brought them within a few miles of the Middle East oil fields which are, in the words of President Carter in his State of Union speech of last month, a "vital interest of the U.S.," he replied that he did not think the Soviets were foolhardy enough to invite the wrath of the world community by launching what would clearly be a naked and unjustifiable act of aggression. "After all," said Mr. X., "the Soviets claim that they went into Afghanistan at the request of the Afghan government so ibility of her acting. Chris· Golanoski strikes an imposing figure as Jack, her villainous husband. Should he acquire Mr. Chervak's attributes, we anxiously anticipate his future work. The value of smaller roles to a · young actor is often overlooked. Lori Pritchard, displays her role as the coquettish Nancy with unabashed confidence and style. Certainly, her accent deserves more attention, but her overall presence onstage represents a talent with which to be reckoned. Liz Sarber and John Prater, as the Cook and Policeman respec- ' tively, could well learn this lesson from Ms. Pritchard, as from George Heid, who plays a Policeman with all his heart. If Ms. Sarber can command her body as she strongly shapes her voice, her career at Wilkes promises great things. Let ther be no mistake, Angel Street strikes us as a play with excellence in mind, but experience demands respect. No doubt, only time and hard w~rk will realize the very finest which we envision for the future of Wilkes College Theater. - , Like you've never seen the m before starring in alphabetical order: NADIA COMANECI • EMILY LITELLA • LISA LOOPNER JUDY MILLER • ROSEANNE ROSEANNADANNA CANDY SLICE • RHONDA WEISS I let them (the Afg,~ans} settle the matter themselves. Why should we get involved?" other students, while not being as radical as Mr. X., also expressed the opinion that reinstating the draft was unnecessary. A few felt that the U.S. had to be prepared for countering any assault on either the country itself or on its vital interests outside its boundaries. If the draft is to be reinstated, they felt, it should be in a form which will cause onJy minimal disruption of studies ~ other things young people are doing. Others within the group expressed the opinion that an unwilling army has little motivation and morale, and mandatory service would bring exactly this. Instead of attempting to achieve military preparedness by mandatory service, they felt the armed forces should increase salaries, benefits. and other things for servicemen as an incentive to people to sign up. While there were many other responses, space does not allow that all these be listed. What came from the interviews was the general conclusion that most students in Wilkes are opposed to the whole idea of the draft and mandatory military service. This poses a question. If the young people of a nation are totally opposed to the idea of war, is the world heading towards an era of tranquility or is this opposition merely transitory? Only time will tell. Tony D.

DECKOU R'S BEER - It's that time of the year again. Time to put the year into retrospect and to critically examine the accomplishments and failures of Commuter Council. The critical examination is nothing more than a series of personal remarks based on · observations made throughout the semester. It will represent both the negative and the positive aspects of Commuter Council. First, the negative. Commuter Council has a money problem. About a week ago, a robbery occurred in the CC office in which nearly $700 worth of money, bus tokens and parking stickers were taken. In addition, the ledger that accounts for all CC interactions was also stolen. The office was not broken into, but rather entrance was made by a key and being that the robber(sl knew exactly where everything was kept is an indication that Commuter Council does not take enough precautionary measures to insure the safety of its funds. This is further emphasized if one would take into account that nearly two years ago, another robbery occurred to the CC office in which $100 was taken. In addition, there still remains a question on the disappearance of nearly $800 from the treasury of the Council from previous years. Currently, CC has a remaining budget of $274.46 on record and will be obtaining additional funds from a Student Government request. The financial situation will be having detrimental effects: office hours will be cut and it is estimated by new CC President Bill Miller that the cash on hand for summer business will be cut from $750 to $450. Maybe the Council should indeed examine its security in leu of the recent and not-sorecent events before being allocated next year's $6,500 budget.

Although the toughest adversaries are behind the Blue and Gold, the remaining schedule Bethpage, N. Y. found the range three time and assisted once for a total · of four tallies. Senior Mark Sanders, West Islip, N.Y. hit the nets three times, while Joe Burnett tallied once and assisted twice for three points. Sanders also pulled off shouldn't be considered a "piece of cake". The Colonels of rookie coaches, Brian Blesi and Bill Harris own a 3-3 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) slate and 3-4 overall record at press time. This Saturday the Wilkes forces will travel to meet Swarthmore College for a 2 P.M. encounter. Wilkes can dump the Swarthmore squad if they can manage to play a consistent game, including tough defense. Swarthmore took a 9-1 beating from powerhouse FDU Madison, while Wilkes dropped a 16-4 verdict. Lebanon Valley will be at Ralston Field next Wednesday for a 3 P.M. matchup with our Colonels. The Lebanon Valley team hasn't won too many matches but still can't be underestimated. The Lebanon team also played a mutual opponent, Haverford College and dropped a slim 10-9 decision. The Blue and Gold fell before the Haverford team 19 face offs for the locals. The Haverford goaltender made the difference for his squad, as he pushed away 15. The alternate goaltender tossed 20 aside on the Wilkesmen. The Haverford stickmen took advantage of the extra man three times of five, while Wilkes only capitalized once out of four attempts. Last Saturday's contest brought on more fans and much better luck for Wilkes as they turned back Upsala College in a 17-14 "offensive game". The Colonels got on the board early when Joe Burnett squeezed in a goal at 1:25. Burnett didn't score again until 1:51 into the second half, but registered four more tallies later in the game to rack up six points. Also placing high in the scoring ranks were Rich Modica and Billy Adams. Modica scored six times and assisted twice to accumulate a total of eight points. Adams garnered eight points too, with two goals and six · successful passes. Freshmen Alex Rae and Larry Buffaloe broke into the scorers as Rae scored a goal and Buffaloe assisted. Both should be topnotch players for next year's team, based on their varsity experience this annum. John Nordstrom, a sophomore from Whitetiouse StaUon, .N.J. and Tommy "T" Heller a senior from Carle Place, N. Y. chipped in one goal a piece. Blesi was able to give his reserves alot of playing time against the young Upsala team and freshman goalie, Sczepanski recorded 14 saves for the Blue and Gold. Dave Singer, a junior from Fairlawn, N.J. added seven saves in the game for Wilkes. Junior Pete Canine, Crofton, MD. has contributed consistently. Wilkes totaled 68 ground . balls and took 44 shots at the Upsala goal. Freshman Tracy Cloth filled in for Sanders in the mid-field Saturday and captured 15 out of 19 face-offs. Two outstanding freshmen to watch next year will be Larry Buffaloe, Hempstead, N.Y. and Eric Farber, Cherry Hill, N.J. Although they are not big scorers, they are quick and good playmakers. Also seeing alot of action against the Upsala squad were Jeff Harper, Kevin Cavanaugh, Carl Schulteis, Bill Bernhard and John McCarthy. Glenn and Gregg Pohorely, sophomores from Whitehouse Station, N.Y. once again played awesome defensive games for the Colonels. Since this is the last Beacon, we have to look ahead to the last game of the year. Instead of playing Franklin & Marshall College on May 3, Wilkes will be on the road with East Stroudsburg State College for its last game of tpe year. STICK NOTES: goals and six assists ...

The Colonels have won four straight going into Monday's non-conference clash with Division II Bloomsburg State, to record a 9-3 overall mark. More importantly, the Colonels own a 4-1 slate in the Middle Atlantic Conference and a sweep over Juniata this Saturday at home would give Wilkes the MAC NorthWest title. The doubleheader is slated to start at 1:00, so let's have a big crowd on hand and cheer Wilkes to the MAC N-W championship. Bring the food and beer and make a day out of it! Yesterday the Colonels were supposed to meet those big, bad and ugly University of Scranton Royals who seem to always upset the Colonels. The Royals will host Wilkes later in the season in a ffiike-up game at Schautz Stadium in Dunmore. On April 29 Wilkes is scheduled to travel to Moravian College for a single game before hosting Division III power-house Upsala College in a 3:00 start on May 1. In addition to the one Scranton doubleheader, a twin-bill with Kutztown State will also be made up before Wilkes goes into (hopefully ) to the MAC playoffs, and then possibly the NCAA regional tournament. Since the last BEACON, the Colonels of head coach Dave Kaschak and his crafty assistant Mike Broda, have gone 5-1. The Wilkesmen started the week by splitting with Division II East Stroudsburg State College, winning 13-10 and losing the second game 98. In the opener, Steve Swanson picked up the win in relief of starter Ken Hodick and Tony "Sparky" Vlahovic, the Rolaids "Relie! Man of the Year," recorded his third save of the young campaign. Wilkes banged out 14 hits in the opener led by Chick Andrewscavage, who had three hits; Bob Brezenski, the hottest Colonel with two homers and another bleacher-reacher by Rick "Big DH" Marshall. In the second game, junior Jim "Rainbow" Kearney suffered the heart-breaking loss as ESSC's Bill Phillips hit two homeruns. Phil Marino wasted a homer for Wilkes in the losing effort. Then Wilkes traveled to Reading for a key MAC meeting with Albright. The Colonels returned home with asweep winning 2-0 and Then this past Saturday the Colonels traveled to Delaware Valley for a non-conference twin-bill and again came home with a seep winning 7-2 and 10-2. In the opener, Rainbow Kearney fired a one-hitter and soph Steve "Tugger" Swanson threw a three-hitter in the night- l Gold could have been undefeated at this time. AROUND THE HORN :...

"Booger" Brezenski is really stinging the ball and is the main cheer-leader in the dugout...loyal fans Art Hoover and George Pawlush have been in attendance at many games this year... Chris DaRe is slowly making people forget Terry Schoen, he's going to be a good one, as will Joey Malatesta ... Colonel pitching has been super so far this year and to think, Kaschak still hasn't used some super freshmen ...Colonels will be loaded in next few years ...this is last baseball story ... good luck to Coach Kaschak and his team as they enter the playoffs. Eddie White III •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ATHLETES OF THE YEAR Phil Marino Leads Off First. 10-3. Senior Carl DeFelice hurled a two-hitter in the opener to record his first win of 1980. Wilkes' only two runs came on rbi singles from Rich Borofski and catcher Jim Morrissey. Wilkes had a super relay play in the game as a Albright player hit a ball over Borofski's head in right field. "June-bug" retrieved the ball and fired to second baseman Chris DaRe, who in turned relayed to Chick Andrewscavage who pegged to Jim Morrissey at the plate who tagged 'the runner out. Tony Vlahovic garnered the win in the second game as Wilkes came from behind to Win 10-3. Joe Malatesta had two hits to spark the offense and Brezenski added three runs batted in. cap. Rich Borofski was instant offense in the first game, connecting on a grand slam homer. Rick Marshall also chipped in with two rbi's. In the second game, Phil Mariono played "long-ball," with a three run shot and George Kavulich added three rbi's and Malatesta added three hits to the cause. It seems like every thing is falling into place for Wilkes and with the easy wins, Kaschak is giving the young and talented freshmen a chance to play. The Colonels have shown consistent pitching so far in 1980 and are deep there. This will help in any post-season tournaments and Kaschak knows that. If Wilkes had gotten any kind of hitting early in the year, the Blue and Diane Kendig Bryan Billig Junior Diane. Kendig has repeated as the Beacon's female "Athlete of the Year," and junior Bryan Billig has been awarded the male "Athlete of the Year." it was announced recently by sports editor Eddie White. Kendig captured the award a year ago as a sophomore while it was the first time for Billig. Kendall McNeil earned last season's male award. The pair was selected by the Beacon sports staff. The Beacon "Coach of the Year," award will be announced at the athletic awards banquet. Kendig, a 5-4 guard on the Wilkes women's basketball team led the ladies to their best season ever this past year as they recorded a 16-10 mark. Diane hit the nets for a school record 600 points while averaging 25.0 game. She is Wilkes all-time scorer with 1,571 points after only three years of competition. She recently was named to the Middle Atlantic Conference first-team all-stars and selected as the league's MVP. She has also earned All-American (first team) honors for this past season. Billig came on this year for Coach John Reese 's wrestling team to have the best record with a 23-6-0 overall slate. He was 18-3 in dual events with ten pins, was 2-2 in the NCAA Tourney and placed second in the annual EIW A Tourney at Lehigh University. He led the Colonels to an excellent rn-2 slate which included a school record IS-straight wins. He tied former Colonel great Jim Weisenfluh's record of 14 overall pins in one season and also Al Zellner's single dual season mark of 10 falls. He also tied for the school record in 18 dual wins in one season. Both received their MVP trophies at the students awards dinner on Tuesday and both will be top contenders for next year's awards. a Da.,e Taylor hurls. a,hile Chicle Andrea,sca.,11ge a,atches the oction. �Page H, The Beacon, April 24, 1980 Between The White Lines ======BYEDDIE WHITE Ill= THIS IS IT! Well, this is it! My last sports column for the Beacon. This piece of print will be my final contribution after four years of writing sports for the paper. I'm proud to say that I had an article published in every issue of the paper during my tenure at Wilkes. It was a great four years here. I've met many different types of athletes and coaches. Most of them were just super and it was a joy covering them. I feel I liave helped advance the coverage of women's sports here at Wilkes and this past season gave the ladies the best sports coverage they ever had. We also brought to the Beacon sports pages the finest photos it ever had. And I thank the irreplaceable Bob Gaetano for that. Without "Gates," I never would have made it and he IS the best sports photographer this paper ever had. We also institued a new award to add to the annual "Athletes of the Year." Last season we had the initial "Coach of the Year," and that" ill hopefully be carried on for years to come. It was a pleasure to give the first coach.of he year award to Gene Domzalski, retired Colonel diamond mentor. Domzalski, now a member of Wilkes administration, was our favorite coach in our four years here. I enjoyed working with most of the coaches at Wilkes. but Domzalski stood out. Not only was he a strong · disciplinarian and an expert when it came to baseball, but he realized the function of the press and the role of public relations in sports. Domzalski was one of the few coaches or athletes for that matter. that would call you the day after a story appeared and offer a "thank you." I can count on one hand the number of "thank-you's" I received at Wilkes. He realized the theory that, "what good is it to be 3M if nobody knows it!" In my first year here, I served as a sports reP9rter and covered the·so-called "minor" sports and don't let anybody tell you some sports are not more important than others. In my sophomore year, I was named as the assistant sports editor before serving the last two as the head sports editor. In addition to that, I worked in the sports publicity department of the Wilkes public relations office. Therefore, I was forced to wear "two-hats" • one as a publicist, writing what the college wanted written and one as the reporter, reporting the facts. I enjoyed both and I can say my experience with the PR department and the Beacon made my years at Wilkes. We're all here for academics. but without the extracurricular activity, we are all lost. That is why, I take with great distress the recent announcement concerning the Academic Standards Committee and its passing of the proposal regarding academic probation and involvement in extracurricular activities. With this, anyone who is on ; probation, cannot take part in ANY activities. If this goes through, the college might as well do away with all sports, clubs, student government roles and the like. Let's bring back the homerooms and stay in class all day! Another controversial item which bas been in the limelight throughout our years here has been the Wilkes wrestling team. Mostly because they are Division I, the grapplers come under complaint from almost every Division Ill athlete on the campus. And that is expected. When a team is Division I. which allows scholarships, some people are jealous , and when anything wrong happens, it is usually the wrestlers that are blamed. John Reese has done a super job as the head coach of the wrestlers and just as good as AD. We would have liked to have seen most of the other sports go Division II, which would allow scholarships, but the key here is, who is going to give the money. For a sport to give scholarships. it needs a backer or club to pour out money to the athletes. The wrestlers have the "Grappler's Club." I guess if one · of the other teams got some financial support, they could move up a Division. This is no knock against Reese, but we still believe that all athletic directors . should not be allowed to coach. They should be a separate part form coaching and have no direct ties to any of the sports on the campus. We've had our disagreements with coaches and athletes over the years, but I hope the enthusiasm of coaches Nancy Roberts and Ron Righter rub off. Those two are headed in the right direction and are using Wilkes as a "stepping -stone." In a few years down the road, both will be at "big-time" schools and it will be a tragic loss for Wilkes to lose two coaches like that. As we look back on four years at Wilkes, I have to say the best TEAM I ever saw was the 1978 baseball team. It was loaded with talent and had AllAmericans all over the field. It was a team, with a team attitude and it was successful. That was Gene Domzalski's final year as a coach and the Blue and Gold finished with the best record EVER by a Wilkes baseball team -25-5. It is impossible to say who was the "best" athlete I ever saw. The word, "best," can be taken many ways. We"ve seen not-so talented athletes work hard to be. the "best." And we've seen very talented athletes let it all go to waste, which was really frustrating. There were just too many really great male athletes for us to choose. ONE as thee best! But with the ladies, there is no doubt, that Dian Kendig was by far the finest woman athlete to step on the campus in our four years here. She might even be the best girl athlete in the history of this school. We can also add a " most dedicated athlete," to that list and he was basehaller Carl DeFelice. Nobody worked as hard as Carl and took his or her sport with more seriousness and determination. Another sight we will • remember will be the fans. They were the same ones who turned out game after game to most of the sports. They would make the long footaball away trips an the baseball away games. They would be there at the EIW A wrestling tourney and at the NCAA Mideast Regional baseball tourney. Wilkes has some great fans, fans that come whether the team wins or loses. I thank the fans for their support for the team. I must also thank Wilkes sports for bringing me some personal happiness through its success. The most exciting sporting event that I have ever witnessed inperson involved a Wilkes team. It was this past season when the Wilkes basketball team downed King's College on the Monarch's home floor, 77-76, for the first time in God knows when. It was a thrill that will live inside me forever. I grew up in "dis val-e," and I'm proud of it. I've seen King"s get all the ink over the years, and to see an unheralded Colonel squad upset the then-invincible King's team was just, well, great! I will never forget it and either will this valley! When anyone leaves after a stay or retires from something, there are always the thank-yous to hand out. And this is no exception. I first must thank Tom Moran, former PR chief here, who was responsible for me being at Wilkes. I must also thank Art Hoover and Dean Ralston for all their help over the years and to those fellow reporters I have worked with over the years, I thank you for putting up with me. I know it wasn't easy! I have probably forgotten to mention alot of names and for that I am sorry. But there is one man that I owe a very lot to and I know I will never be able to pay him back. If I ever have any career in the sports journalism field, I owe everything to this man, who showed me the ropes. I'm speaking of current Wilkes College public relations director George Pawlusb, who taught me that to get somewhere, you have to pay the price. When people had shut doors on me, it was George who found a window for me to escape. George, it was my pleasure-to be your sports publicity assistant for the last four years and I'll never forget the experience. Now before I turn this into another "War and Peace," I'll end it. There are many of you out there who had disagreed with what I wrote over the years. But it gave us a chance to exchange our views and see what we were really like. It helped us to communicate! And people, isn't that what it's really all about. Keep it between the white lines! Netmen Drop King's; But Fall To E-town The largest crowd of the season came out to watch the Wilkes tennis team destroy long-time rival Kings in an exciting 9-0 victory. A sellout crowd of THREE fans (one more than last year) expected to see a close match with cross town rival Kings College. For many years both teams have played matches that were decided in the final point, no matter what the record. This year the Colonels didn't lose a set in a quick and decisive match · over the Monarchs of Kings Col- 1 lege, Last WedneSday Wilkes traveled to Lycoming in below-freezing temperatures. However the Colonels were not bothered by the lousy weather as they won another 9-o match to even their season record3-3. The blue and gold then had to face a team they have never beaten. The Colonels knew that if they beat Elizabethtown College they would still have a chance to win the division title. After the dust had cleared Wilkes had lost 7-2 to probably the toughest team they will face all year. The match was close at the start when Marcus Eckert and Bill Murtagh came through with big wins for the Colonels. The team almost split the singles matches when Mike Hromchak nearly came away with a win in an exciting three-set match. There is no doubt that Wilkes can compete with any top Division III team. They have lost many close matches that if given the chance, would have easily won. After getting off to a slow start the team has now won three of their last four matches. The remaining four matches are tough, but if the Colonels get their act together they will end the season on a winning note. DROP SHOTS ...

Cross Registration Program Established With King's Wilkes College and King's College have both agreed to afll>w their respective students to enroll in courses offered at the other's campus. The new cross registration became effective at the beginning of the 1980-81 academic year. The only stipulation placed on students interested in the program is that the course they want to rake must not be available (and will not be available in timely or convenient fashion) at the home campus. Students must be academically qualified and there must be room for additional enrollment in the desired class. The procedure for the cross registration is relatively simple. The Registrars of both colleges have exchanged course schedules . andhavetriedtocoordinatecourse offerings and their respective times to meet the cross registration enrollments.. Students should decide what course they want to take, inform their advisor, and pick up the necessary forms : Once the forms are filled out, they should be returned to the appropriate Dean of Student Affairs Office. At the end of each academic semester, the Business Officers of both colleges will prepare a Balance of Tuition Payments Report. Money will be exchanged at the rate of 80 percent of the average of the two collegefs full-time tuition . fee for students carrying 12 or more credit hours, and 80 percent of the average credit hour tuition for students attending less than 12 hours at the "away" school. Besides having established a cooperative cross registration with King's College, Wilkes also has a transfer of credits policy. Grade of ~.o("C") or better will be accE;Pted m transfer. However, grades t,arned in transfer will not be comptited in the cumulative average ·at Wilkes. Students interested in transfering credits should pick up two copies of the request for transfer of credit form from Student Affairs in Weckesser Hall, the Registrar in Parrsh Hall, or Admissions in Chase Hall. Forms must be completed in duplicate and must include the _course description as listed in the Bulletin of the transferring institution. All courses must be approved by the Chairpe. '50n of the appropriate department and completed forms must be returned to the Dean of Student Affairs Office. An official transcript · with the course listed must be sent to the Admissions Office at Chase Hall. _Darlene Schaffer Approximately 700 new students . were introduced to the Wilkes College Family this past weekend. The new students include both freshmen and transfer students. The new students gathered in the Gymnasium while their parents congregated in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The students were first welcomed by George Ralston, dean of student affairs, who later turned the podium over to President Robert S. Capin and Dr. Off.1c1a .

"Dormitory is an obsolete word; it is thirty years old, " stated Janine. Janine decided to make the name change after attending the National Association of College and University Resident Halls Convention. At the convention very few organizations utilized the name dormitory. Even though Janine feels that the name is long it is up-to-date. "Everything is still the same, our duties are remaining the same, it's just a name change, " Janine said. There was no opposition from Neiv Students Introduced To 'Wilk~sCollege Family' anyone concerning the change according to Janine. The official change was adopted at the summer Student Government meeting. "I had recommendations from President Capin, Deans Hoover and Lampe, and Paul and Jean Adams when it came time to make the proposal, " Janine explained. Also to be added to JnterResidence Hall Council this year will be the addition of Outstanding Residence Hall Award to the other awards given at the end of the year by IRHC. There will be an award for the male and female residence halls. "The award is ma-inly to promote spirit between the halls and to develop more unity," the president stated. p.m. Tickets for the all college picnic are also available in the basement of Church Hall from 10: 00 a.m. to4:00p.m. Also discussed was the situation concerning student advisors. A committee is in the process of being set up to meet witti Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affaird. The committee will have a chance to speak at a department chairman's meeting and a faculty meeting about the situation. Present Stark study regulations were criticized by various members of SG. Presently, four rooms are available for student use during the night until 1:30 a.m. According to Galli, each of these rooms holds a night class several nights a week. This then only leaves from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. for student study. Student Government is taking the situation into consideration in an attempt to increase the · number of study hours available in Stark Leaming Center. A student bill or rights is also under review by SG. This wold be the first time in college history that rights would be outlined in writing. Advisor Art Hoover feels that this is a good move and should be followed through. Joe Galli, President, announced that a room on the second floor of the Student Center ha been designated for careers planning. Job opportunities and interview possiblities will be posted on bulletin boards outside the office. Galli reminded students that each club and organization is given a mail box in the bookstore. Club officers should check it regularly, he added. The meeting closed with Galli announcing the motto for this year "mutual support and cooperation.

Sand 9 Auditions for "A Midsummer Night's Dream," a Wilkes College Theatre Production, will take place on Monday and Tuesday, Spetember 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. in the C.P.A. The play is a comedy by William Shakespeare involving two sets of lovers who get lost in the woods on a midsummer night. During the night the woods come alive with fairies, creating an atmosphere of dream and fantasy. According to Jay Siegfried, Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be the most ambitious theatre propuction at the college for some. time. The play requires at least 13 men and eight women, but many more can be used. There is no big lead in the comedy, but there are many smaH roles. Almost anyone who tries out will have a part, no matter how much acting experience he or she has. Mr. Siegfried especiaq,. encourages those students who have taken modern or jazz dance classes to audition. . The play itself will be presented in the C.P .A. on October 24, 25, and 26. Anyone who would like to be in the play but can not attend the auditions on Monday or Tuesday may call Mr. Siegfried at ext. 201. NOTICE The History Club will meet next '. Thursday, September ll, during the activity period on the third floor of Franklin Hall. Anyone interested in becoming a member is asked to attend this meeting. The Club is open . to everyone. Imagine againg 60 years in only three hours and you'll have some idea of the way Chris Lonstrup prepares for his role as Krapp in the Wilkes College Theatre Pro(luction of "Krapp's Last Tape." Written by Samuel Beckett, lhe play is about an 80 year old man who listens to a series of tape recordings he made 30 years earlier. Several times he stops the tape, often reacting angrily to the stupidity he perceives in the man he was thirty years ago. Preparation for this role requires not only mental but physical attention - it takes three hours to apply the makeup to t1,1rn Chris into an old man. Jay Siegfried, Assistant Pro: fessor of Theatre Arts and director of this one-man performance, feels Austin, and his M.A. and Ph.D. at Syracuse.

The Teaching Associate positions involve special appointments in which non-faculty members possessing expertise in a certain area but lacking the credentials for regular faculty rank are hired. A teaching associate can hold his position for a maximum of three years. The newly hired teaching associates are: Roseann S. Cordora (Business Administration) has a B.S. and an M.B.A. from Wilkes.

Joann M. Simons (Nursing) tias a B.S. from Marywood. Louis Czachor this play is "visually fascinating because the audience is actually doing the same thing the actor is doing," that is, listening to the tapes. The audience and the actor become engrossed in listening, so that both actually share the same experience for much of the play. "Krapp's Last Tape" was presented as a Summer Theatre Production, playing to local critical acclaim. The play was received so well that a special encore performance will be presented on Friday, September 5 at 8 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. Admission for the public is $1.00. Wilkes students with I.D. may attend free of charge. After the performance, there will be a tour of the building and of the theatre facilities for anyone who is interested. ~ Education,Philo~ophy Depts. Offices Relocated To Stark 1980-SJDate.

Sincerely, Robert Rushworth Public Affairs Director NOTICE There are still many openings for students interested in cooperative education this semester. Interested students should see Robert Koester in the cooperative office, �Page 4, The Beacon, September 4, 1980 Support Your Local SG Tr~dition usually dictates that campus organizations are slow getting underway at the beginning of a school year. It seems, however, that this year's Stu~nt Government has broken this tradition an~ started the semester with the type of momentum that is usually manifested much later in the year. The semester started off on the right note with a very successful new student orientation. Comments were that it was well received by students, parents and administration. "Playfair," this year's new addition accomplished the purpose of getting students to interact with each other something orientations of previous years years seemed unable to do successfully. The first All-College Assembly of the year is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9. Although this type of gathering was institvted last year, this year's assemblies will hopefully take on a new format geared for student participation. Having the assembly in the beginning of the year is the right step -in establishing needed "student life" rom the start. Every student should be present and show their support for the activities and policies sponsored by Student Government. Don't be afraid to show a little school spirit, unity, and enthusiasm. There is strength in numbers. In another attempt to revive what is left of school spirit, President Joe Galli and other officers are instituting an official Colonel mascot. This person would -be present at athletic and other events leading the crowd in traditional and not-so-traditional cheers. Again, the success of this endeavor relies on student support. It is hoped that it will -not be in vain or regarded as futile . A mascot is a worthwhile project which is long overdue. Also, this year's calendar shows at least one SG sponsored event each month. This is due to the breakdown of the Social Committee into sub-com~ittees, which can 'only lead to more efficiency and thus organized and interesting events. Although SG policy states that this is one of the · duties of the body, it is something which has not been followed closely in previous years - or totally ignored. These affairs include a variety of themes and will provide a welcome diversity of social events for everyone's enjoyment. The upcoming events include an All-College Picnic Hisses & Kisses The purpose of a campus newspaper is to serve as a forum for the debate of campus and current issues. In order to achieve this end, the Beacon hopes to cover events and issues fairly and accurately. Unfortunately, ~owev~r, sometimes the issue may be factually or grammatically mcorrect. . A new editorial policy concerning criticism ~f the B~acon has been instituted this year. The Beacon editors will accept valid criticisms of articles which have been published in the most recent issue. Typed complaints or comments and suggestions of. how to alter the s_ituation will be ta_ken into consideration by the editors. These must be put m a sealed envelope along with a copy of the article in question and delivered to the Beacon office or the Beacon box by 3: 00 p.m. on the Sunday after publication. . The appropriate editors will gladly ~eet ~1th the ~uthor of the -criticism at a mutually convement time to discuss the nature of the complaint, if deemed necessary by the editors. All letters must be signed in ink along with the class year or appropriate title, and phone number where the author can be reached. This information will be confidential Inconjunction with letters to the editor, hopefully, t_he line of communication between the campus commumty and Beacon editors will be greatly enhanced with the addition of this policy. In this way, the Beacon staff hopes to better serve the campus for which the paper is published. on September 13 and HERSHEYPARK trip on September 14. Events and social gatherings have not occupied all of SG's time. A written Bill of Student Rights is in the process of being adopted. This will be the first time that any document of this nature will exist in the books and not just in the minds of students. This is a definite step in the right direction in so far as students will be allowed to carry out their responsibilities in terms of their rights not only as students, but as people as well. In this same vein, SG is attempting to improve student relations with academic advisors in cooperation with college administration., Considering the unfavorable reputation most advisors have come to earn, it is hoped that this will not only improve communication between stude9ts and their respective advisors, but the content of that communication as well. Many academic, career, and extracurricular opportunities are missed because of improper and incomplete guidance at the hands of a misinformed or uninformed advisor. This combination of events and policies are the recipe for a successful and beneficial year for everyone. Student Today at 11 a.m. Government is demonstrating their support of students with these improvements. Now it is time that the students · · showed their support for Student Government through a ·by the Student Center ~ positive attitude and enthusiastic participation by all.

Who is responsible for printing all Wilkes College publications? What office should one call (ext. 205, 824-4651 ) to find out current information concerning upcoming events on Wilkes campus? These events include : Concert and Lecture Series, art exhibits, plays, recitals, community related activities, and sports happenings. Mr. Randall J . Xenakis is the new director of public relations here, and the man who can help answer the above questions. Mr. Xenakis replaces George Pawlush , who has accepted a position at N.P.W. Hospital , and brings with him a wealth of experience and ideas. A native of New Hampshire, he attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where he earned his B.A. 0973 ) and M.B.A. 0975) , concentrating in ◄abor and communications. Ironically, his high school counselor recommended Wilkes an an excellent, private, small, liberal arts college ; however, a baseball scholarship lured him down South. Over the span of several years at Rollins College, he received "hands on" experience by managing, and eventually announcing basketball play-by-play, at FM radio station WPRK ; and later, becoming Director of Sports Information and Director of News Bureau. Most recently, he was Director of Public Relations and Publications at Rollins College and an Adjunct Professor of Business Administration at Southern Business College. These experiences he said "have provided me with some-background in working with television and radio people." Though quite happy with his position at Rollins, "I knew I wanted to get back to the Northeastern area." Rubbing his hand on the carpenting, he said "Florida's terrain is like this - very smooth, few mountains or hills. The weather is much Randall J. Xenakis like it is here in Wilkes-Barre right now, only it's this way all year round." He adds, " The winter months seem to revitalize me. So, when I saw the opening, already knowing the quality and reputation of Wilkes, it was just the thing I was looking for." Shortly after being interviewed by Dr. Andrew Shaw, President Robert S. Capin, Ms. Linda Holbrock, and Dr. Thomas Kelly, "I knew this was where I wanted to be. As I walked around campus and the downtown area, the people were all very friendly . I stopped and talked to local people, sat on the benches on the square, and got a good idea of the important role Wilkes College provides to the community. And, the buildings on campus are· very beautiful - quite an interesting history behind them.'' Randy Xenakis has a friendly, out-going personality and hopes. to get to know all of the students. "I want any student to feel free to come and talk with me in my office or anywhere we happen to meet. I plan to eat several meals at the caf_~teria and Conyngham Student Cen!er so I can know students on a personal basis and find out their wants and needs. I want this office to reflect the openness and friend- ship found in all other aspects of the college." He says, "I want this office to be the center of information; if we don't know it, we'll take your number and call you back.'' "My job is to let people know we have got quality students, faculty, and an academic institution here at Wilkes. This college is only fortyeight years old, and for it to have the reputation it does is amazing. Our main thrust is admissions and coordinating all Wilkes College publications. This college is updating, changing curriculum, and expanding all the time. We can compete with any school its size in the country." He envisions that Wilkes will branch out and eventually reach, and attract, students from many different geographic areas. In closing, he says "Public relations, good or bad, is the duty of everyone at this college. Word-ofmouth is often the best advertising." After talking with Randy Xenakis, one knows that public relations has never been in better hands (or mouth) . David A. Clanton ~acaaauuaaaaaucaaaaaaaauaaaacacacaaaaacaaccau~ What's Happening An All-College Assembly will be held in the gym today, Thursday at 11 : 15 a.m. Wilkes College Day at HERSHEYPARK and other activities will be discussed.

Amoeba Tag Breaks the Ice Maybe a demonstration of transcendental mass meditation? A documentary about the drug culture of the 1960's and the effects of LSD? Maybe none of the above? Actually, this is simply a description of a large group of Wilkes students meeting new people in an unusual but effective way during one of the orientation programs this past weekend. The game · just described is one of many games and activities in the repertoire of "Playfair," a program that helps people get to know one another. · The game described here is called "Amoeba Tag," a game of "it" played by running in slow motion away from those who are "it. " When the person who is "it" tags y.t.<-~ 10 -~t"OO\. someone else, the two link arms and are now "it" together. The two chase others until four are linked together. Then, like any true . ._ . . amoeba, they divide in half and now there are two "it" groups with two ATHLETIC SHOES people in each group. These two groups move around in search of PRO MODEL others to tag and make them part of AND their "amoeba."

UNTIL OCT. 31, 1980 bing at their air with their elbows, and are really enjoying it. It Is not easy to say or write what "Playfalr" is, but some students at the event tried to express their feelings about the activities. "That was really neat!" and "I think this Is great!" were some of the comments made by both new students and the orientation staff. But maybe the best word to characterize "Playfair" is indescribable. Any attempt to accurately describe the effect these games have on the people taking part in them Is futile. For the past few years, the college scheduled a mixer in the gym for orientation weekend. The purpose of these mixers was to help the new students meet other students. Usually, howev~r, very few of the new students tried to mix, unless one of the orientation staff pulled them to the middle of the floor to dance. "Playfair" seems able to make everyone want to join in and have a good time. The games help to release tension, overcome shyness, and allow people to relax even though they are surrounded by strangers. "Playfair" accomplished what the mixers could not - it brought students together and helped them interact while having fun.

With the graduation of Mike Wilson and Tom Cywinski's choice not to return, 19 year veteran coach Rollie 'Schmidt said that there is no one who can be called Wilkes starting quarterback as of yet. The field general position is currently being fought for by a · number of candidates, including two freshmen. Schmidt reported that five people he has been watching include Wayne Lonstein, George Hall, Ray Boudreau, Bob Ford, and Tony Vlahovic. At this point in time, it _appears that all five candidates liave an equal shot at making the quarterback position, although Lonstein has the most experience. Going into Glenn Cola,ln his third year, Lonstein is reported as being a good passer but lacking In foot speed. Schmidt stated though that the Ellendale New York native has been working very hard on his running and has improv~ greatly over last season. Lonstein's competitors all appear to be making good showings so far in practice as well. Schmidt mentioned that Ford has shown much maturity over last year with good overall outings at practice. Hall, Boudreau, and Vlahovic have all been impressive to the coaches also, with Hall apparently playing the same kind of sound football like he did at Coughlin. Although there Is a weakness at quarterback, the rest of the Wilkes offense looks to be very impressive. In the backfield with the as of yet un-named quarterback will be alleverything Carmen LoPresto. LoPresto presently ranks third on the Wilkes_all-time rushing record. The 5-8, 175 pound senior from Pittston is coming off his finest college season ever finishing fifth in the MAC in rushing with 662 yards and 7 touchdowns. Accompanying LoPresto in the ball carrying chores will be either 5-11, 180 pound senior Rich Chapman or 5-10, 165 sophomore Scott Davenport. Chapman ranked se1cond last season on the Wilkes rushing list gaining 315 yards while breaking the goal line three times. Davenport was an outstanding allpurpose back last season and should add tremendously to the Colonel ground game. · Clearing the way for the "boys in the back" will be an experienced front line anchored by · 6-3, 230 pound tackle Carl Sosnowski. Don Jones will fill the other tackle position while 6--0, 210 pound Steve Wengen and Todd Nicholas enforce the guard spots. Defensively, the Colonels should shine again. Co-captain Ed Mollahan will be the main stopper in the defensive line at 6-4, 235 pounds. Mollahan's linemates will include Nanticoke Area grad Paul will be the anchor on the team." Aiding the defensive line in thwarting opponents will be a fine corps of veteran linebackers. Standouts in the linebacking position from last year include John Frap-polli, Glen Colvin, and Mike Azure. An experienced defensive Backfield will also be on hand to pick off opposing ariels whenever possible. Returning to the "Big-D" backfield will be Mike Gould, Joe Shurites and Don Nicholas. One star defensive performer who will not be returning this year is Bob Luby. Luby decided not to return to Wilkes this year because of the travel distance between his Florida home and the college. " Bob Luby not coming back this year is going to hurt us," commented Schmidt. "We are going to miss his experience." Luby is also joined in the no return department by Bob Rushworth, the squad's second leading receiver last year. Schmidt stated that Rushworth decided not to play football this year because of the poor condition his knee was in. After previous problems with his knee., "Bob felt it was not worth it to risk further injury" commented Schmidt. "You can't blame a kid for something like that. " After a 4-4 season last year missing out on a 5-3 finish by one point to Susquehanna, coach Schmidt is· looking for a competitive sand possibly surprising year. Commenting on his opponents Schmidt said, "All of them are tough, anybody , can beat anybody." After lookir;ig over the Northern Division of the MAC, Schmidt said that Lycoming has to be the favorite because of the return of Rick Bird at quarterback. He also pointed out that Delaware Valley is coming off its finest season ever, and Upsala is always strong, although they have a new coach and it will be interesting to I . 1 . ~ · " see what effect a new system has on the players. Along with Wilkes' usual op. ponents this year, Trenton State Schram and Dave Hadley, both and Ramapo have been added to veterans of the head hunting trenthe Colonel gridiron schedule. After ches. When asked about his defentalking to the coaches at LaSalle, sive squad, Schmidt commented, the Wilkes coaching staff has found "I'm counting on all of them." He out that Trenton State has a good he did proceed to admit that, "Ed replacements just lack the needed experience to fill in without problems. When asked what he would like to accomplish this season above an else, Schmidt replied once again with a simple but meaningful answer, " Improvement." He explained that he felt the team improved last year, and he hopes that ·u can improve even more this year. He hopes each player improves himself and after each game, he wants everyone to feel they have done the best job they could. Schmidt concluded that although winning is important, the most important thing is to compete. Out of the experience of competing, Schmidt sees the players obtaining a good feeling about themselves which he feels is the most importnat thing of all. .Pete Steve HELP WANTED Experience with or interest in 1 taking 8mm movie films?

BARONS' TRYOUT For the first time in the past few years, the " old name" BARONS will hold a tryout camp in Scranton. Owner Art Pachter said the camp will take place sometime in late September. Watch future "BEACONS" For further information. Bookancl RacorclMart 11 S. Main St • . Ca, 1118111.oPre.o Old-Nam4 Barons To Change Name; Pachter Hopes For More Support In an attempt to attain the winning seasons he enjoyed in the past, Baron's owner Art Pachter has decided to start the 1980-81 Continental Basketball Association campaign with a new look. Pachter intends to give his "old name" Barons a new image which includes new personnel, new uniforms, a new name, and many new promotions and other activities for fans. Pachter is running a contest to determine a new name and new logo for the ball club. All entries may be sent to the 1708 Olive Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania, 18510. The deadline for all entries is September 10th. In the-case of identical entries, the one with the earliest postmark will be declared the winner. Pachter is even prepared in case two entries with ·identical postmarks are receivwed. If this situation occurs, a special football program and is an overall good team. As far as Ramapo is concerned, coach Schmidt and his staff has received no word on the team and know relativeiy little about its football program. There w-as room for . new opponents on Wilkes schedule this year because of the absence of Bloomsburg State. Apparently, the athletic director from Bloomsburg had scheduled another team in the scheduling slot that was supposed to be for Wilkes. Because of this, Wilkes had also scheduled another opponent and when the two schools tried to correct the situation, it was too late. In one of the local papers, Coach Schmidt was reported to have started this season by saying, "The whole situation depends oil how fate treats you - kindly or unkindly." When asked to explain what he meant by this statement, Schmidt simply replied, "Injuries! " He went on to describe how injuries can ruin a whole season. At the bigger schools where they have large recruiting programs, they have the replacements of their regular starters stated the coach. He continued that the replacements get playing time through various means, but at smaller schools, the drawing will be held to select the lucky winner. The person who sends in the winning entry will receive a weekend in either Philadelphia or New York, including tickets for an NBA game. In a recent Barons' press release Pachter stated, "For years, the name Barons has been known to many, many fans . But now, with the new working agreement that the CBA has with the NBA, with the new players coming into the league, and with the new teams being add· ed, we decided to go with the new, also. So, we're running a contest to determine a new -name and new logo for the club. This brand new look and identification might take some of the sour taste away from past years, and bring back our fans, which have kind of slipped away the last 5 or 6 years.'' Opening night for the "old-name" Barons will be Thursday, Thanksgiving night, at home against the new Philadelphia club which operated out of Lancaster last season. Former Philadelphia 76er great Hal Greer will coach the Philadelphia club this season and will be there to meet Art Pachter's on opening niruit.

I hope everyone is starting to adjust to school life this week even though we have only had three days of classes thus far. If you haven't adjusted as of yet, don't panic because tomorrow is the start of one of those. life-saving weekends which always tend to ease the pain of a wicked week. Before you start to wonder what kind of column I am writing, let me get some formalities out of the way. In case you haven't heard, my name is Pete Steve and I have the difficult task of filling the very big sneakers of Eddie " Between The White Lines" White as "BEACON" sports editor. Yes, that's right, you're not reading "Between The White Lines" but rather "Sumthin' Extra." What the heck is "Sumthin' Extra?" Let me explain. All summer while I was working at my pop's gas station, I tried to think of a name for my column. I wanted a title that would catch the reader's eye and yet, one that would be pertinent to sports. Slowly the summer whittled away and I still did not come up with a title. Finally, this past weekend while I was leafing through a baseball nickname book, I found the kind of title I was looking for. In a section discussing how Dizzy Dean's fastball went "foggin' through" past the hitters, "sumthin' extra" caught my fancy. The section described how Di:r.zy Dean reached back for "Sumthin extra" to impress his coaches and veteran teammates as a rookie. Whether or not Dizzy · Dean was the first to be connected with the term "sumthin extra" was irrelevant to m~ for all I knew was that I found a title for my weekly column. Just as a pitcher in a tight jam reaches back for that "sumthin' extra" to be successful, I too hope to reach back each week and write a sports column that will give the reader that little "Sumthin' extra" as far as sports reporting is concerned. Whether or not I achieve my goal is totally up to you. Anyway, that's where "sumthin' extra" came from and wliy I chose to use it as the name of my column. ·-As every journalist should, I will attempt to keep my sports stories free of bias and personal opinion. I beleive that each week when you open a " BEACON'.' and turn to the sports pages, you should expect to find stories that tell you what happened at the previous week's games, provide you with interesting statistics, and possibly inform you about somethign you · might not have known. Only in my column and no wliere elSf' should you find a personal flavor tied in with a certain sports topic. Along with many of the sports stories, I hope to include numerous photos that add to the report. I earnestly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, and whenever I can, I intend to u~ as many photos as possible. One final point I would like to make concerning sports coverage is that there is limited space in the "BEACON" but there are many, many sports . Also, as I have so abruptly found oqt this past week, sports writers are hard to come By. Although I hope to cover every sport, there is a possibility that resources for such coverage will not be available. If this situation should occur, I hope every coach, athlete and person on campus who is interested in sports will cooperate with me to assure that every sport is covered, that every athlete is given the credit he-she deserves, and that every persons on or off campus knows what is happening in Wilkes athletics. . Out of the three pages of sports in the "BEACON" each week two of them will be designated for the usual sports coverage type of stories. The third page, however, though will be set aside for special features and commentary. This page will include things which are not only interesting to read, but are a lot of fun as well. One of the things included on this page which I am very excited about is the selection of an "Athlete of the Week." This feature allows credit to be given where credit is due, and it should produce some colorful if not controversial results. For more about the "Athlete of the Week" selection, I refer you to that feature in this week's issue. Do memories really last forever? This year in the sports section I have decided to try and find out. Each week a photograph will be published ha\1ing something to do with Wilkes' athletics. The part you play in this feature is very simple. All you have to do is identify the photo. This is a grand opportunity for all those "I never forget a face" people on campus to excel above their -usually "absent-minded" friends and colleagues. This "contest" should be a lot of fun, and for some people, it will be 'very rewarding. Rounding out this "catch-all" type of sports page will be WEEKLY sports quizzes, puzzles, a sports. up-date and calendar, and -of course "Sumthin Extra." I will try to position the sports calendar and up-date in such a way on the page so as to allow for its easy removal for future reference on the upcoming week's events. As for the quizes and puzzles, all I can say is I hope they entertain you and provide you with some bits of information you may not have known about previously. Basically, there you have it. I hope it sounds good to you. All I can say now is that I hope the "BEACON" sports pages inform and entertain you as they never have before. With everyone's cooperation, the change over from "Between the White Lines" to "Sumthin' Extra" can be an enjoyable one at that. See you next week. For the first time in a number of years, the "BEACON" sports deparment will have an assistant Sports Editor position. This position is being established in an effort to familiarize a qualified person with the responibilities of a Sports Editor. Anyone applying must be willing to devote numerous hours to the position, cover at least two sports, and be available for Tuesday night or Wednesday morning layout. Position can possibly lead to future 'BEACON" editorial positions. A brief interview process will take place before a final selection is made. Deadline for applications is September 11th. Anyone interested can leave their name, phone number, and three available time slots for the interview at the "BEACON" OFFICE (ROOM 27) Parrish Hall, or in the "BEACON" box at the library. SPORTS WRITERS-Anyone interested in covering sports this year for the Beacon or intramurals is asked to contact Peter Steve at extension 473 or stop by the Beacon office on the second floor of Parrish Hall. -Upset Predicted For Bjorn Borg At U.S. Open .

"It is a crucial year, '' noted Siegfried, "but with the talents of our students and the experience of our faculty, we can go a lot farther than any other school in the area." The major in theater arts introduceS' the student to the fun- damentals of theater and provides opportunities for the development of skills in performance, production, design and criticism. It also prepares students for teaching and for graduate study and it may lead to a career in professional theater. Siegfried points out that the theater program also offers students methods of self-expression while giving students practical experience. "We show students that they must be responsible to someone or some group rather than just themselves and we encourage their creativity. We also give the student l'!lal world experience by working with real people in real settings and with real problems.'' Serving both the community and the students, the theater program is in its second planning stage. Newly Formed · Traffic Council To Act As Grievance Conaaaittee Bookancl Record Mart 11S. Main St • .

The Traffic Council was formecl. by Dean Lampe, Joe Galli, Bill Miller, Janine Tucker, and Fred Daniele. It will be made up of five members -- three students and two administrators. The students are appointed by the Presidents of Student Government, Commuter Coun- cil and IRHC. Thus far, two st~dents, Maurita Gries and Fred Daniele, have been appointed. A third student has yet to be appointed. The two administrators will be appointed by the Dean of Management, Dr. Andrew Shaw, and Dean of Student Affairs, Dean Ralston. They will be appointed in the near future.

Already the theater department under the supervision of the Language and Literature depart- ment has acquired a separate budget and has moved all but one of the faculty offices from Kirby Hall back to the CPA. "We have all of our offices in the CPA except for one," noted Siegfried. "Klaus Holm's office is located back near the stage, Bruce Phair's office is in the reading room and both the department secretary's and my office are located on the first iloor of the CPA. We haven'tfound an office over here for Michael O'Neil yet, but until that time, students can go to his office on the second floor of Kirby." . Siegfried pointed out that Phair and O'Neil are new people who have been added to help improve the program. "Michael O'Neil teaches three theater courses and one English couse and has a good background in dramatic literatre, while Bruce Phair serves as our program and production coordinator. The new director of theater pointed out that although he is in charge of the theater program and all that it implies, "Klaus Holmes is in charge of the scene design and is technical consultant." Confident with the faculty and the students of his department, Siegfried began to thank all the people who are supporting the theater program, especially the Department of Language and Literature and Dr. Thomas Kaska. "Jay" as his students call him, ex- . plained that "Dr. Kaska was instrumental in the formation of the theater program.'' Looking to the future, Siegfried forsees the theater becoming a separate deparment that will hopefully be offering scholarships to its studenls. Currently the department gives out two awards; the Myvanwy Williams Theater Scholarship which is presented · each year to a student who has demonstrated outstanding interest and ability in drama and the Wilkes College Theater Award presented annually to the senior who has contributed significantly to the development of the theater. In addition to the scholarships, Siegfried hopes to offer students from one to four credits for participation in the theater and its productions in a course called Rehearsale and Performance. "We are · also hoping to offer season tickets to all our performances and to advertise in advance all of the performances we plan to do throughout the year." The theater department will be sponsoring several plays through the year. "Although there won't be a joint Wilkes-King's play this year, we will be doing a Shakespearean play, a play by Philip Bosakowski who is our writer in residence, a musical and still yet another play." The next scheduled play is Shakespeare's "A Mid Summer Night's Dream." Overall Siegfried notes that he is very happy with the progress the program has made in just one year and he feels that "with the talent of our students and the experience of our faculty, we will develop even more."

Although Morehouse College is geographically removed from Wilkes College, th~ basic philosophy of its motto is not. Recently, club day was held, giving each student a chance to join the particular organization which interested them. The day was an overall success for the clubs. Afterwards, each organization could sport a long list of new ·members to add to their rosters. But how successful was it for the students'? How many students actually took advantage of the opportunities afforded them on that day? Taking into account the total student population of the school in proportion to the population to each club - our guess is not that many. This is despite the fact that every club from A to Z participated in the event. Almost every group, hobby and special interest was-represented that day. Extra-curricular activities are what add the extra Hfe to the college. Not participating in an activity not only detracts from what could be a spotless academic record, but also leaves a void which might have been filled with a meaningful activity that would not only brighten college days, but give you a chance to explor.e horizons not available in the classroom. It is very unfortunate for the students as well as the college that scores of students go through four years of college without ever really knowing what is available to them. Apathy only breeds more apathy. This is damaging both to · the students and the school. The school loses out on potential talent; input, and possible improvements. The student misses the opportunity" to find his or her forte and channel it in a constructive direction. Initial student input determines what dividends the activity can return to the student. In the end, benefits far outweight the investment of time and energy, more than two to one. The next time you see something that you don't like, or wish there was something to do - stop and think what efforts you made lately to improve the situation. If you're unable to answer the question, you can still join the organization that is right for you. But you better wake up and do it fast. It's not only later than you think - it's sooner than you expect.

I imagine, that here in college, I am laying the foundation for my future ; choosing the courses, career, and values which will guide me through life - a life which eventually will age.

In the past this position was always appointed by the elected Governor of the State. To mark this occasion the department of political scienc~ joined with the Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association and cosponsored a public debate between Attorney General candidates Democrat Michael A. Opake and Republican LeRoy S. Zimmerman. The debate held in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts grew a relatively large audience. with many noted community leaders in attendance. WBRE-TV, Channel 28 carried the debate live and Arthur L. Piccone President of the Law, and Library Association served as moderator. A panel serving as .the questioning body of the debate col)Sisted of Keith Martin from WBRE-TV, John Hart of the Scranton Tribune, Pat Ward, News Director of WQUQ and - a Wilkes student, Donald Gaetano. After each of the candidates presented a five minute speech on their particular philosophy of the office, each of the panel members could ask a question of the candidates which both would respond to and then a rebutal would be given. Keith Martin started the questioning by asking, "What are the special assets or liabilities that come with party affiliation that you can not afford?" Opake responded, "There are 800,000 more democrats in the state and by a 5 to 1 vote the people have shown that they want a person who is not hand picked by the Governor and is not part of the Governor's team. 1 am committed to making sure that the people get a fair shake." Opake said }!e "belives that the position of Attorney General has a responsibility to fashion and energize the justice department with a committment to the people of Pennsylvania and not to any party no matter what its political persuasion.'' Representing the Scranton Tribune, John Hart_asked a ques.tion pertaining to freedom of the press to which both men agreed that an "open door" policy should be pur into effect and , that the first amendment guaranteeing this should be protected. Another question asked of the men came from Pat Ward -who wanted to know how Opake could jestify duel candidacy as running for both the Senate and Attorney General? Opake contended that he "was not running for two offices state wide" and that he was basing his dual candidacy on the principles of democracy. He noted that either way, "I still want to remain in public office." Zimmerman said that running for two offices, "shows a lack of confidence and a lack of committment to this position as chief law officer of Pennsylvania." Zimmerman also pointed out .that Opake was one of several who endorsed a bill that would "propose a Constitutional Amendment making it impossible for a state-wide candidate to run for a publicly elected office unless he resigned from his other positions.'' Representing Wilkes, Donald Gaetano asked, "What ·are your feelings · concerning the Abscam operations and would you as Attorney General consider it permissable to run a similar program on the state level?" Zimmerman was the first to answer the question. He noted that as a prosecutor he feels that "for the first time i·n Pen, nsylvania, we on the state level (district attorneys, elected Attorney General and the State Police) can clean up our own mess in Pennsylvania." He also noted, "We must take a tough, hard stand . against. public corruption." Opake said that he " certainly supports" the new criminal investigative tools that we gave to the Attorney General and that he wants to expand the "prosectorial role of the Attorney General." The debate concluded with a reminder that a reception was being held for the candidates at Weckesser Hall.

The_progra~ is Project Upward Bound, under the direction of Anne A. Graham. Aid and encouragement are extended to the students in the form of tutoring, classes, guidance, and counseling. Upward Bound, which: is funded by the United States Department of Education, is located on the second floor of Ross Hall. There are many facets of the program, but the main · thrust is, as Margie Esopi, Curriculum Coordinator, explained, "to keep them (the students) motivated to learn." Project Upward Bound sponsors classes held on Tuesday nights by area high school teachers. These classes are intended for the student who requires help additional to that available to him at his own school. , Students receive no grade for the classes, but rather an evaluation for their own use. There is also a class for high school seniors which helps to prepare them for the SAT's. Counseling is very important at Upward Bound. Students are supported and counseled in academics, career plans, and personal matters. Upward Bound counselor is Jean Narcum. Wilkes College participates in the program by employing college students as tutors for project participants from low income families. Roughly twenty tutors, in all high , school subjects, are engaged per semester. Approximately seventy high school students take part in the tutorial program; Tut.ors in the program are encouraged to become involved with the students. As a result, the tutors are asked to attend at least one nonacademic event sponsored by the students, so that the students can see them in a role other than that of teacher. · Any Wilkes College student who is interested in tutoring is asked to call Project Upward Bound at 8244651, extension 383. _ Elaine Czachor NOTICE A general organizational meeting for intramural sports will be held on Thursday, September 11 in the gym at 11: 15 a.m. Plans for flag football, women's softball and tennis will be discussed.

By·cc At First Meeting Commuter Council presented a proposal regarding campaign rules and regulations at its first ,official meeting of the 1980-1981 school year. The new rules call for a petilion of at least 50 names in order for anyone_to be nominated for any elected office with the positions of CC and IRHC presidents securing at least 100 names for nomination. Under the new rules, Student Government president must obtaip 10 percent or 200 signatures in order to run. A cash limit of $50.00 has been set on all printed campaign materials. Also brought.out at the meeting was the fact that the gates of the Red Cross building are locked. Students who usually cut through the Red Cross property are urged to walk behind Hollenback Hall. Miller said that CC has agreements with various area residents about using their property to get to the Park and Lock facilities. "We also have the consent of the Elks Lodge and we are working in obtaining permission of Chacko's Bowling Lanes," Miller reported. He continued that he will be meeting with Dr. Andrew Shaw to discuss the possibility of having a per:manent walkway made for students to use. In a_related matter, Com_muter Council announced that parkmg lot tickets have gone up to $13.50 for a book!et of 20 coupons. "This .is relatively cheap as the $13.50 bolls down to roughly $.66 a day or a one third percent discount on the regular rates." Miller also noted that CC sells bus tokens at $16.00 for 50 one zone or 4!) two zone bus tokens. Parking coupons and bus tokens can be purchased from Commuter Council daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the second floor of Weckesser Hall.

For Coach Ron Righter and his dedicated cross-country team, this may be an understatement. It is bad enough to run seventy-five to a . hundred ttiiles a week during the summer heat, -OUt when you couple that with long lonely hours and total deaication, you find you have a sport that requires a 'special person.' "There is no time to regroup. You can't stop, " says Righter. The cross-country runner must be in the best possible shape. Unlike other sports, there are no tune outs, periods or halfs. The cross-cquntry runner must never slackea; to do so even fot a brief second, may mean the difference in the six mile race. It seems that Righter has little to worry about in that area. With people like co-captain Eddie Eppler on your team, there is no need to worry about slack. Eppler, a senior Business major from Washington, New Jersey, runs despite the fact that he only has one kidney. " Eddie works hard 365 days a year. He's an inspiration to us all," said Righter. Righter also speaks highly of the other captain, senior Dan Thomas of Wilkes-Barre. " He's a leader by example," said Righter. " He lets his actions speak for him." Righter is high on this year's squad. After coming off the best season in Wilkes' history, Righter has high hopes for the squad. He has more people to work with and growing interest from the schQol. His schedule includes almost twice as many meets as two years ago so the potential for a season equal to last year's is there. One of the high points of the season may come against archrivals King's. King's, according to Righter, has one of the better teams in the state. A Colonel victory would make this a sweet-season for the team. The only problem Righter sees in this year's squad is depth. Despite the return .of standout Ken Pascoe, Righter lost some key people in Don Patrick, Louie Mucciolo and Eddie Cunningham. Righter hopes to counter these losses witl1 the addi- Ron Blglater lions of Jim Bell and Niel Pascoe, along with John Supinski, a key returning runner. The biggest return to this year's cross country team may be Righter himself. After coming off a successful rookie year, Righter has gained valuable experience, something he lacked in cross country. Righter, recruited as the basketball coach, has learned a lot about coaching in one year. Although he feels cross country is a game of self-discipline, he acts as the monitor. He provides the extra discipline the team needs and it is he that unifies the team. Cross country may be the "thoughest sport going," but according to Righter it is also very rewarding. " You are totally spent, and you've given it your all. It's a very good feeling." That "good feeling" can't help but continue for this year's Colonels.

Coach Saracino is very enthusiastic about this year's team and feels they have the potential for a winning season. The coach said that last year's team had bench problems and was lucky to have had a 7 and 11 record. This year's team has some new players that can really help the Blue and Gold. Coach Saracino explained that volleyball is comprised of two basic positions, hitters and setters. The setter is really the quarterback of the team, controlling the game and setting the strategy. The strategy will either consist of a 4-2 or a 6-2 zone. The latter will be used mainly for offense while the 4-2 zone is a defensive game plan.

Although last year's team will be a tough act to follow, it's still too early to start writing ' epitaphs for the 1980 season. To some, this year's hurlers may be confronted with the old cliches of 'living up to last year's standard of excellence.' But .not so, according to senior co-captains Pam Snyder and Megan Ward. To them, this year is another season, with different 'hurdles to cross,' and a different team to work with. As Ward put it, "It would make it hard on this year's team to compare it with last year's team. Every year you start out the same.' ' With Wilkes' tradition, there's always the possibility of having a good season, Snyder added, but it's Both girls stress · that Coach "a matter of getting it together. " Meyers is the driving force behind the team. However, Gay Meyers isn't the only one responsible for shaping this year's team. Snyder and Ward will also play a major role. As cocaptains, their primary task is to keep the team motivated and positively directed, especially as the season begins. But this shouldn't be a problem. The two co-captains describe the Colonelettes as a "gutsy and determined" team. Although many of last year's starters won't be back, "those who are returning are really pushing it," said Snyder. As-in past years, the team also has some new players who might develop into stars of future seasons. Snyder and Ward plan to share their experience with the younger With the season opener one week players, and to help them become from today, getting it together will better oriented with the team.

She also participated on the Women's basketball team for four years and the Women's softball team for three years. Frail received 11 varsity letters in her collegiate career and will be a great asset to coach Meyers and the rest of the team for the 1980 season. The Colonelettes will face its toughest test against three of the finest Division II teams in the country starting September 13. Coach Meyers said that the scrimmage games against East Stroudsburg, Messiah, and Drexel University will tell much about the rest of the season. Bob Buchsbaum Tlainclads Hope For Winning Year _ After their first two winning seasons, including last year's fabulous 13-4 season, the Wilkes College cross country team is still looking up.

Captain of this year's squad is Senior letterman Ed Eppler, who Righter says, leads by example. Ed has really worked hard over the summer running a lot of distance, including some marathons. Ed also worked on his speed where he needed work."

All the Colonelettes did last year was win their sixth straight NPWIAA title, second straight MAC Northwest Championship, gain a second place finish in the MAC Tourney and compile an (11-33) record. The lady responsible for the girls great success has been head coach Gay Meyers. In ten years of coaching, she has compiled a 68-3813 record along with much respect from other coaches around the league. Last year she had help from two of the greatest women athletes in Wilkes College history. Jerry Ann Smith and Mary-Jo Frail handed the Wilkes field hockey team its finest season since the team was formed in 1962. This year the team will need some sort of miracle to accomplish last year's record. The team was hit hard in losing .seven out of 11 starters in 1979. The blue and gold will rely heavily on co-captains Pam Snyder and Megan Ward for the 1980 season. Coach Meyers also added that field hockey is a team sport and if everybody stays healthy, we could have a good seaso_n. The one bright spot for the team has been the appointment of·Mary Jo Frail as assistant coach. Mary Jo served four years as a member of the Wilkes field hockey team and will now add her experience and support as a coach. ahead. One thing is for sure, the Wilkes tradition of fine leadership is sure to remain. Megan Ward, an English major with a preference toward writing, is beginning her sixth year playing field hockey. She began her career playing at Bootin High School in Northwest New Jersey. Since then, she has had a good share of playing experience at Wilkes. Also with a fine field hockey background is Pam Snyder, a Business Administration major with a concentration in marketing. Now in her eighth year of competi· tion, Snyder began playing at the Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster County. There she made the division all star team in her senior year. As she begins her final year at Wilkes, Snyder has already garnered some impressive honors. Last year she was a first team MAC all star, in addition to playing in the 1979 National Tournament. "Jerry Ann Smith and Mary Jo Frail, last year's co-captains, will be missed, " Snyder and Ward said. In fact, last year's entire season will be missed. It was a great year with an exceptional team. Once again the possibility remains that the Wilkes women's field hockey team may have an impressive year. As the old cliche goes: 'ring out the old (season>, and ring in the new.'

Besides dismissing this person as one of your friends or as one of your classmates, have you ever tried to get at the essential qualities of this unusually highly-skilled human being? My bet is that you haven't, and you ·know something, this is one of th~ biggest problems facing college athletes today. ' Far too many times in this age when institutions of higher learning are troubled with financial problems, the college athlete becomes the solution for increasedrevenue. In the same respe'Ct as an annual brochure or wellplaced advertisement is used to gain the public's interest in an institution, · so too is the "star" athlete used as a public relations tool. There was a time when college athletics was on the same level of importance as high school athletics, but that relationship has long been removed. Today, college athletics is big money and don't let anyone fool you. The more people an institution can pack into a stadium or gymnasium, the better it is not only for the " home team advantage," but also for that particular school's pocketbook. And what is it th;it usually draws large crowds to see a college game or match take place?

Approximately 200 students participated in the venture to "Chocolate Town, U.S.A." Three buses were utilized arid they left Wilkes at about 8:30 a.m. Most students went on tour through the Chocolate World to see just how those famous candy bars are made and also to begin munching out on chocolate chip cookies. As the students made their way to the park the sun shone brightly. They wasted nQ_time getting involved. Some headed straight for "The Comet" or the "Super Dooper Looper" while other less courageous participants settled for the Carousel or the MonoRail. One of Hershey's newest rides seemed to become an instant favorite, "The Pirat" was rarely without a Wilkes student riding on board; to some there will be more trunks.

But few stories are as inspirational as that of Olympic gold medalist Wilma Rudolph, who will present a lecture in the CPA under the auspices of the Concert and Lecture Series. Wilma Rudolph was the first woman to win three Olympic gold medals in one Olympiad. She earned the honor of being named United States Woman Athlete of the Year two years in a row, and was the first woman to be named Sports Woman of the Year by the European Sports 'Writers. However, Wilma was able to · acheive those honors and win the gold medals only through a great pies, Wilma can give]ier·audiences deal of hard work. She was born the an inside view of the Games.

Primarily bought in order to save money, this system cost "approximately over $200,000. Over a number of years, there is an expected $300,000 cost save," related Berg. When asked if, in the long run, this change will be beneficial, Berg replied, "Definitely, there is no doubt in my_mind." Berg went on to say that he foresees no major problems with the system, provided people take the time to learn to operate the phones. Training sessions have been going on all week to familarize personnel with the different techniques of this system. "I hope people will take the time to learn how to use them," Berg commented, "and if there are any mistakes, give us the chance to correct them." Lisa Gurka Hon1eco~ing Plans Announced At SG Plans for Homecoming Weekend were discussed at Student Government's meeting. The weekend will consist of a bonfire, Thursday night, October 9; dinner-dance and judging of displays on Friday, October- 10; parade to the Trenton State-Wilkes game at Ralston Field, Saturday, October 11, and an arts and crafts show on Sund.ay, October 12. Chairman of the Homecoming Committee, Al Wirkman, .announced that single dinner tickets will be sold at a cost of $15.00 each and will be available two weeks before the event. The menu choices for the dinner include: chicken, veal, roast beef, or turkey. Plans for the menu will be finalized at the committee meeting this Thursday. Wirkrnan continued that clubs and organizations planning to construct a float or display should submit the information to him by Tuesday, September 23. President Joe Galli then added that -this year a new addition to the parade is being planned. Each club ·and organization will make a flag and lead the parade to Ralston Field. "We have a lot of students on campus and this will hopefully produce good representation of them," he said. Details on this project will be available at a later date. Vice President Marla Brodsky then raised a question concerning the possibility of a Homecoming King in addition to the traditional Queen. The general opinion of the representatives was favorable. Rob Wallace, Class of 1981 President stated, ''It would help increase enthusiasm, especially at this time of year." Further discussion on the issue was tabled until next week .. Nominations for Homecoming Queen are Thursday, September 25. In other business, Jim Makowski, President of the Outdoor Adventure Club made a second request for $135 to purchase equipment for the club. The request passed by a vote of 160-0. . Another fund request came from Colleen Gries, representing the Women's Activities Association to rent buses for away games. This request was for $185 for a bus to this Saturday's game. She explained . that without the funds from SG, the cheerleaders, majorettes and strutters would not be ·able to attend away games. Because the money was needed by Saturday, Galli closed the meeting and reopened it in order to vote on the request. The question was raised why the association was not funded by athletics, administration or the band. Mrs. Doris Barker, SG advisor, explained that the Association is a club and not part of athletics or the band. The marching units are allowed · approximately $600 for uniform cleaning and other expenses during the year. The motion was passed by a unanimous vote. The new campaign regulations under consideration were to be . voted on this week, but because the Inter-Residence Hall Council did not have the opportunity to discuss them, they will be voted upon next week. It was then suggested to cen- tralize the· voting location and extend voting hours in order to give more students a chance to participate. Stark lobby was the area menti~ed as a possible location. After much ·discussion, it was decided that moving all voting to Stark lobby would -congest student traffic considerably more than at the present time. A vote of confidence was taken to keep the Student Center and cafeteria as voting locations, but extend the hours. The matter is now up to Rob Doty and Chris Fellin, Chairmen of the Publicity and Elections Committee. They ·will present their decision at next week's meeting. Elaine Kerchusky, Film Committee Chairperson announced that SG made $118 at Friday night's movie, Continued on page 8 �fa e Z, The Beacon, Se tember ·1s; 1980 Three-Fold Tenllre Document Adopted By TREC Comm.i ttee The Teacher Recognition and Effectiveness Committee (TREC) has adopted a new three-fold tenure document which will go into effect begining this year. "It speaks to the Issue of the criterion which will be used henceforth in assessing the wuality of pel,'SOnnel," stated Dr: John Natzke, Committee Chairman. Three different types of evaluations are included, including peer evaluation, student evaluation, and self evaluation. · Each department wille stablish a "Department Review i;ommittee' which will consist of three tenured persons. When up for promotion or tenure, the instructor will be evaluated, in class, by a committee of his peers. ID addition, instructors will have a chance to evaluate themselves. Under the ICES (Instruction and Course Evaluation System) System, there .is room for twentysix items of evaluation. Three of these items, called global items, are pre-printed ·on teb questionnaire. Teo core items are selected, from the catelog, by the faculty as a whole. The individual instructor can then select the remaining thirteen items, or vote as a department for a departmental core. Dr. Natzke commented, "We are not out to get the instructor; this is not a kangaroo court." He went on to say thet the ICES System serves two different purposes. "First of all, information or feedback is provided to the instructor who wants to improve or monitor his instruction. Secondly, the student evaluation provides information to other people, such as the department chairman." Dr. Natzke explained that the information will be used by the department chairman and people on the Tenure and Promotion Committee in making their decisions. ID preparing for student evaluations, plans were made to sample classes for students to evaluate. The procedure is to evaluate one out of every three classes taught by a tenured professor, and one out of every two taught by a non-tenured professor. · When asked about TREC's goals for the upcoming year, Dr. Natzke replied that there are a few major issues they hope to address. The most important issue is to set up some system to recognize outstanding faculty members. According to·Dr. Natzke, "There has to be better ways of recognizing outstanding instruction in the classroom.'! Dr. Natzke would like to develop guidelines for assisting candidates "The actions of a few students have once again hurt all of the . students. '' This is how CC President Bill Miller responded to the recent act of vandalism that occured to the property of Chacko's Bowling Lanes. "I have to question the maturity level of those students who did this," Miller noted. For the past several days, Miller -has been negotiating with Chacko's to allow students to use that property as a walkway to Park and Lock South. "The Red Cross Building has locked its gates preventing students from using its facilities to get to Park and Lock. We have been trying to establish another way students could get to Park and Lock and we were almosf successful." Miller pointed out that Commuter Council had made agreements with area residents to use their property as well as the Elks Club. Students were to cut through Holleback Hall then through the Elks parking lot and then Chacko's to get to the parking facilities. "We talked to Mr. Chacko who owns the bowling lanes and explained that if he allowed us to use his property we would help pay for a gate to the fence that will be surrounding his property, but that was before this situation.'' Miller said that recently planted shrubs were ripped out of Chacko's property and because onhis there will be no walkway for students through his property. Also at the CC meeting the new election rules were discussed. A question was made by Colleen Gries as to how the new election rules will be policed. SG President Joe Galli said that a random sampling of the signatures on the petitions will be called to verify the matter. Another suggestion was made to remove voting facilities from the student center and the cafeteria to one centralized location such as the lobby of the Stark Learning Center. Dean ·Hoover express· ed his opinion that he was in favor of such a move, as did many of the other people there. ID new business, students were reminded that September 28 is the · Tri-Organizational meeting and that the day before is Parent's Day at the College. It was also brought . out that there will be a Colonel Mascot meeting this Thursday ,a t 9:30 a.m. in the gym. So far four people have applied for this position. Finally, there will be a Leadership Conference for all ·elected campus officials sometime in November. No date has been set at this time.

There are also tentative plans to purchase a large screen television, with home box; for one of the second floor rooms. During a debate over using one pf the front lounges for the TV, Dean Hoover discouraged this use at first, by stating, "If people need a place to sit down and talk, they have to have it."

JENNIFER FROHLINGER �Page 4, The Beacon, September 18, 1980 · · Executive Director of COPUS Welcomes S-t udent Members Students of Wilkes: First of all, let me take this opportunity to welcome all of you back of another exciting year o_f independent (private) postsecondary education. This year there seems to be a sense of excitement and expectation on campus. The anxiety is hlgb and students are eagerly watching to see what is going to happen. As the executive director of the Wilkes College chapter of the Coalition of Independent College and University Students (COPUSWilkes), I would like to introduce to you an organization that is going to make things happen. COPUS operates on the chapter, state and national levels. All three levels are interrelated and important as the decisions made on any one level have a great impact on atT students attending independent institutions. Because of the great financial burden placed on independent college students, COPUS is primarily concerned and involved with financial aid issues. This does not mean, however, that we are limited to these Jypes of issues. On the contrary, COPUS is interested in all issues affecting students ranging from registratiop for the draft to energy conservation on campus. This is the second year COPUS has been in existence here at Wilkes. In one year's time we have become the second most active chapter in the state and we now have real input on the national level, since I was nominated and accepted on the National Board of Directors over the summer. This year promises to make us one of the most active organizations on campus. At our first meeting (today at 11 :00 a.m.) we will be planning activities, objectives and goals at all three major levels. A convenient meeting time and date will also be selected. Our weekly meeting will be moved to late afternoon or early evening in order to give more active students, those often ' tied up during activity -periods, the opportunity to join COPUS. All interested students are urged to get involved. The chapter will be divided up functionally to isolate specialized activity areas such as communications, research, lobbying, organizing, etc. This will allow members to . concentrate on ac: tivities in the areas they are most interested in. Finally, COPUS ·is an organization in which members can control their own destinies. The actual amount of personal input is up to each member. The more active a member is, the greater the satisfa::tion will be. Personal advancement all the way up to the national level is limited only by a member's own iniative. Please try to attend our first meeting today (September 18) at 11 :00 a.m. in the basement of Franklin Hall (located across the street from Weckesser) . For more information contact Richard Meyers, our Communications Director, Carl . Kadke, our Legislative Director, or myself at the COPUS office located on the second floor of Weckesser Hall. Together, we can make things hap- pen.

Fantasy? Perhaps - or at least in our generation - but this is becoming increasingly possibfe -with many religious, moral, political, and other implicatiions. The world when George Orwell wrote his novel 1984' after World War One, had just entered the new age of high technology and scientists all over the world were unlocking time-honored secrets of nature. At that time, Verne's trip to the moon had become a forseeable reality with von Braun and others making significant advances in rocketry. For Neil Armstrong, stepping on the moon "was one small step" but for mankind it was a "giant step." The even more gigantic step of controlling the developmednt of the human e!Dbryo to produce super humans is now at hand. After creating overpopulation, increasing the incidence of cancer, heart disease, and other disorders of modern man, after creating weapons of mass destruction and after setting up social, economic, and political orders which led to strife for some with his technology and desire to change the world, man still remains unsatisfied with non-interference in those areas of nature which thus far have eluded his creations, probes, and controls. True, no sane man purposely laid the groundwork for the problems . created by modern living with an express aim in producing these problems. These men were just not visionary and far-sighted enough. But having made the atom bomb and other things, we _as human beings surely have enough sense to learn from the lessons of our immediate and distant past. While believing in progress, to laud that kind which has potential abuses and obvious deplorable implications for all, seems just as insane as creating it. Genetic engineering (as it has been called) · stands -to better the quality of life if applied only to amoebas and -bacteria, but an extension of this to humans can only lead to untold suffering. Indeed, it is reminescent of Herr Adolf Hitler's desire to create a super - Herrenvolk. This particular gentleman's dreams engulfed the world in war because those who could have stopped him allowed themselves to be led like blind sheep in the belief that they could bring "peace in our times." To blindly watch science - in the name of progress and knowledge create artificial man makes our generation like that of Chamberlain's and Hitler's. Antony I.

But in the real world of crass materialism and subliminal 1 rape, sense is hard to find, and making change even harder.

No country (save America herself) has launched a direct attack on Pennsylvania, imprisoned, maimed, or shot my people. America has always had the good sense to fight for her freedom and defend justice for all, thousands of miles away. · As I hav.e gotten to know some foreign students here at Wilkes College, I see that they are good people, much like my native-born 'friends. And, for me, war is no longer a personal decision which affects the lives of a few individuals, but like a cancerous growth has mushroomed into a cloud of dis•aster with the potential to effect everyone on this planet. When you slaughter my oppressed brothers in South Africa - ydu kill me; when you decimate my Muslin brothers inAfghanistan - you kill me; when you murder my Chinese and Indian brothers in the Middle East - you kill me; and finally, when hungry minds go unfed - we all die a little bit inside. America has wounds to heal within her own nation; one need only glance as far as the headlines to Illustrate this point. The rebellions and insurrections during this hot summer of '80 - '- in Miami, Philadelphia, Detroit, North Carolina, California, and New York - are proof positive that all is not well h~re at home. This country· is sick, badly in need of a' cure, or, perhaps, a taste of its own medicine : which indeed would certainly be a bitter pill to swallow. Funny, but here in America, "the free world," I feel very much like a prisoner in my own house. Forgive me, but I do not want to fight ; call me a dastard, traitor, coward, or whatever else your little mind can think of - it certainly doesn't matter. With today's thermonuclear, chemical and biological warfare, I don't stand much of a chance with my rifle and bayonet. It's hard to stab a moving tank and make much of an impression. But then again, as we all know, history has a short memory. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they planned a war and no one showed up? Will the herd instinct, or followthe-crowd mentality, ever be an endangered species on our planet? Unfortunately, this is the land where the Buffalo (once) roamed and, of course, the Home of the Brave so, I doubt it. I seriously doubt it. And yet. .. · David A.

Back in June of 1971, she came to Wilkes at the request of the president Francis J . Michelini to initiate and operate Nursing. In a little over a year, McHenry organized the department and in September 1972, 37 students entered the pr:ogram and eventually 25 graduated. McHenry noted " We are in our ninth year of operation, and we have roughly 400 students, 30 fulltime and three part-time faculty members in the Nursing department. " • The nursing program at Wilkes College leads to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing and reflects a curriculum design that is responsive to the changing needs of society for health care. The purposes of the department are to prepare a beginning selfdirected practitioner capable of initiating and implementing the nursing process on behalf of clients in a variety of circumstances; provide SPECIAL ...DOUBLE SAVINGS on your COLLEGE RING • $10.00 discount on an Ultrium College Ring • Fantastic trade-in values on your old 10k gold high school ring check it out!' a foundation for graduate study in nursing ; and promote the utilization of new knowledge through the provision of continuing educational experiences for . nursing practitioners. The curriculum pattern enables the student to integrate the ,arts, sciences, and humanities with nursing and to choose electives in areas related to personal interests and career goals. It covers a four-year period, totaling 127 credits of which 47 or one-third are in nursing. According to McHenry, the difference between the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing (B.S.N.) is that "a BSN is a watered down course meeting special needs. Special courses are designed for the. nursing students." She added that the ~.S. program is "much stronger" than a BSN. " Our B.S. degree with a major in nursing leads our students to nurse practitioners. This means our students can do complete physicals from head to toe." McHenry warns that you do have to watch the term "Nurse Practitioners" because it can have many meanings. She noted that our program was established in accordance with the rules set down by Health, Education, and Welfare at the time the • program began. Since then, a oneyear nurse practitioner program · has been established for registered nurses. With the new cross registration program with Kings' nursing students may wonder if they can take classes over at Kings for Wilkes credtt. McHenry notes, "that at this time, there are _no plans for any cross-registrations of nursing students with King's college.'' This is because " I am unaware that they have such a (nursing) program." As an integral part of the curriculum, the nursing department also has a Learning Center which gives students the opportunity to ·self.learn with the latest electronic study carrels and audio-visual instructional materials. A simulated hospital environment facilitates independent practice and study. The center is staffed with three faculty members who assist the students to progress at their own · pace. The Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is opeh to all nursing students, nursing graduates of Wilkes and registered nurses in the program. McHenry said that other disclipines can use the center if they want to and if it is free. It is estimated that over 1,000 students use .the center, using over 3;300 pieces a month and returning 8 to 900 demonstrations a month. McHenry also noted that over $100,000 has been invested in the center. The nursing program is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nurse Examiners which is the legal body that governs all state programs and is accrediated by the National League for Nursing. . Wilkes was nationally accredited in ~ember of 1978, two years after it graduated its first nursing class. Wilkes accreditation will come up again in six years, but McHenry noted that "the state board can come in at any time to review us." She also pointed out that if "we were to ever lose our state approval, we would automatically lose our national accreditation." McHenry commented that 13 new faculty have joined the nursing department, and of these 13, three are replacing faculty members who have left permanently. As for her own position, McHenry pointed out that she was supposed to retire, but a suitable replace- . ment could not be fopnd. The new department -chairperson would have to have a PhD, but there is a shortage of people with PhD's in .· nursing. McHenry added, " I will not be here after May 31, 1981. After nine years of growth, the department is now as big as the col- . lege wants it to get. In fact, there is a waiting list of people with a desire to get into nursing, because as McHenry said, ' 1We don't want a nursing college with all other . departments subservant to it. '' McHenry talked of expansion, and she pointed out "WI) have been invited by the Hazelton Area to extend our program to the Hazleton Area utilizing the facilities of the Hazleton State Hospital. Louis Czachor Darlene Schaffer -Earth And Environmental Science Dept.--~~--;_ ___ , To Test Contents Of Mine Water The Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Wilkes College has been contracted by the Pittsburgh office of the United States Bureau of Mines to analyze · samples of mine water in the Wyoming Valley, according to Mike Case, assistant professor of Environmental Science. Mr. Case will supervise the analyses which will be conducted by five students Carolyn Miletta, Bill Petrick, Ed Plesnar, Mike Stapleton, and Eric Johnson. Under the Bureau's contract, Case and the five students will be employed to analyze approximately 650 samples of water taken by the Bureau from flooded mine shafts in the valley. The testing, which is to be conducted on a seasonal basis for one year, is to determine as accurately as possible the levels' of iron, manganeSJ!, aluminum, sulphate, acidity, and eholiform organisms (organisms resulting from underground sewage Pollu- to ORDER I ....... _... Ii! ft PU=A=:,ITH e&:I I Place 10% DISC()UNJ BOOKS'l'CRE s & 26 Date SEPT 2 tion), ·which ·eventually cause acid mine drainage problems. According to Mr. Case, the objective of the testing " is to find out what the composition of the water is in the flooded mine shafts. The Wyoming Valley has many acid drainage problems, and if a solution is ever to be found, the initial look at the problem must start here." This project is not an attempt to solve, but to learn more about the problem. Some of the a~ lyses will be conducted in the field at the site of the mine, as the nature of some of the elements require they be tested.immediately after extraction from the earth. In these cases, by the time the sample reaches the laboratory on campus, the results would not be accurate. The college offers ample facilities to accomodate the testing. Located on the fourth floor of the s iark Learning Center are the analytical water quality lab and the atomic absorption spec- Time 10 - 4 PM Deposit Required $_10__._oo _ _ __ _ I II I I THIS COUPON .

These and other facilities are also used to teach routine water quality analysis, examining soils, biological materials, pollution problems and sediments. In addition to providing a unique opportunity for students to receive practical experience in the lab and the field (in a sense their first job) , the contracted analyses will also add an element that fits in with Mr. Case's philosophy of a good education. He believes that a four year Bachelor of Science program, with a major in earth and environmental sciences, should teach a student to . design a sample project, take the sample, analyze it, and interpret and report this data clearly and concisely. This should prepare the student for either graduate studies or entry into the job market, such as technical laboratory supervisory positions. The B.S. degree also w . quires a rigorous curriculum in chemistry, physics, . biology, and mathematics. A student seeking a Bachelor of Arts degree with a primary or secondary major in environmental sciences would find his knowledge valuable in careers such as social work, political science and government, urban development, or communications.

BOB BUCHSBAUM Cro•• Country Schedule Change �Page 10, The Beacon, September 18, 1980 Volleyball Team Defeats Exhibit. Opponents Before the volleyball team walked on the gym floor, head coach Doris Saracino said she would try different combinations, give everybody a chance to play and get ready for the 1980 season. The Colonelettes did all that and at the same time destroyed every team \hey faced in an exhibition volleyball tournament held recently at the Wilkes College gym. The team could do no wrong as they swept eight straight games from Hazleton, Penn State University at Lehman, and Penn State University at Scranton. The first Wilkes victim was a fairly strong team from Hazleton. The blue and gold had to come from behind in both games because of a few serving mistakes. However, in the middle of the second game they really turned on their after-burners and breezed through the rest of the way. Coach Saracino took"a chance by putting her new players in right at the start. The moved turned out really well as all four underclassmen did a fine job. The team was really off to a fast start when they greeted the Penn State-Lehman campus in their first game. Lehman took an early 4-1 lead and then Wilkes scored eleven straight points on some fine playing by Cathy Dudick and Ellen Doty. Wilkes continued to play well and went on to win 15-5. In the second game Wilkes took an early 5--0 lead. The team made a few errors ll.nd led by only one point 10-9. The Colonelettes then broke away with some excellent sen;es by Freshman Deborah Kramer to win 15-9. When it looked as though Scranton would win the game, Wilkes seemed to change the momentum in their favor. The Colonelettes were a much more organized team than Scranton and the other teams in the tournament. Although Wilkes beat every team twice, they decided to play two more games against Hazleton and Penn State-Scranton. The team had trouble against Hazleton in their first meeting, but things were different this time. Hazleton didn't last long when the blue and gold crushed them 15-3. If you thought that score was one-sided, the team only gave up two points in their next game against Scranton. The Wilkes team really put on an It Can't Be Tllat Bad Coaclll • Dori • S araci DO · Wilkes was really flying high when they met Penn StateScranton. Wilkes struck first by taking a 4-1 lead and the team never let up as they went on l;o win the first game 15-4. It seemed as though the squad was invincible. They made some unbelievable saves and were in excellent condition throughout the tourney. Coach Saracino says that her assistant coach Nancy Roberts deserves the credit for getting her team in shape for the season. The second game was a little closer but Wilkes managed to pull out a 15-12 victory. They played better as the game went on and they were upder control at all times. Cathy Dadick awesome display of talent in their first action of the season. Both coaches will have a tough time trying to pick a starting team for their first regular season game. Every combination used by the coaches did a great job. "They're really playing as a team and starting to take pride in themselves," Saracino said after watching her team win eight straight games. The coach said the team will have to cut down on their mistakes if they are to have a good season. "We started off slow but a strong team effort brought us back together." Two and a half hour practices a day didn't hurt either. The veteran coach was also happy her new players adapted to the college level so easily. Freshman Deborah Kramer was serving like she was playing against a team from the Peoples Republic of China. Freshmen Ellen Doty and Sally Fisher and sophomores Ellen Van Riper and Carol Cigarski also played excellent throughout the tournament. The head coach was reluctant to say how good her team really is, stating "We will have to take one game at a time." The team outscored their opponents 120~1 in the tourney. If they play half as good as they did last Saturday they will be winning one game at a time!

It was that kind of a day when the Wilkes women's tennis team met head on against King's College. A large crowd was in attendance for the match which lasted four and a half hours. Both teams gave everything they had and after the dust had cleared Wilkes suffered a heartbreaking 5-4 loss. "I really thought we had a chance to win," Coach Nancy Snee said after watching her team lose a tough, "down the wire" match. "We had an excellent week of practice and the girls really seemed to be looking forward to it.'' Freshman and first seeded Cathy Price gave Wilkes an early lead by blasting a strong King's player 6-3, 6-1. It was unusual that a freshman was able to beat a senior in her first college match. Price played a well balanced game by attacking the net and hitting hard baseline shots. In the second singles match, Deb Welliver was up against a tough, stubborn opponent. Both players were like two prize fighters trading hard and well balanced pUnches. Although the Wilkes co-captain lost 6-3, 6-2, it was a long match and was not an easy point for King's. With the team score tied at 1-1, Freshman Terry Monseur Jost a marathon 6-3, o-6, 4-6 match. Both players were equal in ability but the Wilkes freshman was unable to regain the momentum she had in Def, Wc.llleer the first set. In fourth singles Beth Groarke was defeated 6-3, 6-2. The King's player managed to win the big points and was able to keep Groarke off balance throughout the match. Down 3-1 after four matches Wilkes avoided trouble by winning their final two singles games. In her first match for Wilkes, freshman Debbie Solowe used speed and determination to outlast her opponent 6-4, 5-7, 6-1. The Wilkes starter won points on speed alone as she forced errors by keeping the ball in play longer. Wilkes evened the match at 3-3 with the help of senior co-captain Peggy Mascelli. Mascelli came out smoking and destroyed the King's player 6-1, 6-2. She hit winners everywhere and was off the court before her opponent knew what hit her. With the team score tied at three, the excitement started to build going into the doubles matches. Coach Snee was worried because the team only spent a few days working on doubles strategy. A short meeting of the coaches and the matches were underway. \ The team of Price and Welliver overcame the constant lobbing tactics of their opponents to win 6-4, 26, 6-3. The King's team lobbed on almost every point and it was tough for the Wilkes duo to get their rhythm. Wilkes needed only one of the two remaining matches to win but Charlotte Fees and Jackie Harney were unable to beat a strong third seeded team, losing 46, 2-6. The stage was set for the final match of the day. The teams were deadlocked at 4-4 and the large crowd of thirteen people packed the stands at Ralston Field to see if Wilkes could upset long-time rival King's. The team of Monseur and Solowe won the first set rather easily 6-4. Then the King's team battled back to win the second set 5-7. At this point the audience was really going wild after every point. The · third set saw the King's squad take an early 4-1 lead. The Colonelettes made a valiant comeback and needed only one point to even the match at 4-4. However the King's team won the ·next two games and their first victory of the season 4-6, 7-5, 6- a - The Wilkes women's tennis team surprised a lot of people in their first match of the .season.

How many times have you. heard people comparing Brooks Robinson to Craig Nettles, Walter Payton to Gale S~ri. or more recently the Pittsburgh Steelers' Dynasty to that of the old Grei~ay Packers? , . . Whether you are an avid sports fan or not, you can t help gettmg mvo!ved in one of these "old-new" comparison arguments. Those of you who believe in "the good ole' days" fight till death for the honor of your idols, while the "new-breed" of sports fans cherish the ground their millionaire athletes walk on. · Knowing very well that there are many people out there who love " the good ole' days," I still must follow my better judgement and defend the side of the modern athlete. . Although I agree that the "older" atb.l etes had more quality as far as specific players are concerned, the average quality of mode~ ~thletes is much better than it was in the past. This may account for the difficulty one has when be tries to compare the performance of, for example, Muhammad Ali to Joe Lewis or Jim Thorpe to Bruce Jenner. E'ven though these comparisons may be valid, the defense of the old-timers alway~ seems unbeatable. How can someone argue against " they had more guts m those days" or ".they were playing for more than money back then?" See what• mean? The irony of this type of defense is that, in all probabi~ty, it is true. Sports bas beeome more sophisticated through the years, with technology playing a greater' part year after y~ar. Back in the old,day~, Cy Young. didn't have a speed machine to tell him how fast he was throwing as Nolan Ryan does today. Added to this luxury, the baseball Young threw was probably of a lesser quality than the one Ryan uses today. game after game. Differences like.these occur in all sports varying from the size of the play~ ing fields, to the type of material the athletes uniforms are mad~ of. ~hen looked at from the technical aspect, modern athletes sure have 1t easier to excel in their sport than the old-timers did. So why do I still consider modern athletes better than the idols of the past? As I mentioned earlier, the key is in the, word " quality." To make it to the top in any sport today takes a lot of talent, but more ~o. it takes a lot o~ luck. Think how many times you have seen one team beat another simply beeause of the bounce of a ball, a shift in the wind, or a bad decision ?o the part of a coach. Although these things also occurred in the past,. their frequency bas increased greatly with each year we progress into the futu re. This is partly due to technology, but more so to the over-all improved quality of the athletes. Tbs distinction between your star athlete and your average athlete today is far less notable than it was in the past. A person bas to be a sort of "Star" just to make a professional team, proof being the1ocal baseball tryouts held this summer by the Cincinati Reds. Many fine athletes fell by the side when the dust cleared that sunny day. One can't help but wonder how many of those same baseball players would have "made the team" back in 1932 ! I must say before I end that I do have a place for the old-timers in my heart, a place reserved for those who play the sport for the sport's sake. I honestly believe that back then, the thrill_of victor!, m~ant _mor~ !o them than the paychecks they received for their "work. It is this spmt that I feel our sports lack today, and we can only hope for-its return in the fut~re .

Patti Sparlow · Historicaf Buildings Could Delay Dorm Originally the college had hoped to break ground this fall and have the building close to completion by next fall, but that was before these delays came up. As alreadY- stated, the building, including furnishings, would cost between $3.5 and $4 million dollars. According to Shaw, the tentative plans call for a building that is "designed to provide continuity with some of the older buildings." It would be a four-story brick building and it would be L-shaped. Delaware and Chesapeake . Halls would remain standing but could be removed If expansion of the new building was deemed necessary. The first floor of the building would contain lobbies and lounges, an office and mallroom, a television room, places for bike and luggage storage, and an apartment for housing personnel. The other three floors would house approximately 200 students in suites for three or four people. A three-bed suite includes a room for one student and a room for two students, connected by a bathroom shared by the students in both rooms. The four bed suite includes two rooms also connected by a bathroom shared by the students in both rooms. Each room would house two students in this case. It is possible that the building would be air conditioned. Also solar collectors may be installed, but the primary heating source would probably be city steam which is generated by coal. President Capin commented that the new residence hall would permit the college to maintain housing of a student body population similar to Its present numbers. Also, the college would be able to vacate the Sterling Hotel, and, " if the total student population should decrease in the 1980's, the new residence hall would provide the flexibility to phase out old, expensive dorms." Another reason given for the need for the new building is that If it is not built, the college would not only lose room and board income, but also tuition. Louis Czachor CC, BUTLER HALL - The former home of the Education Department is one of the buildings set to be demolished to make room for the new residence hall.

I J �Commuter Council Discusses Campaign Rules: Unanimous Objection Voiced By Representatives Adamant opm1ons were being voiced during the Monday night meeting of Commuter Council over the newly proposed election rules. On a unanimous roll call vote, it was decided to delete the sub-point 1 under general rules, "Any candidate may use a maximum of $50 on their campaign. Presidents of Student Government, CC, and IRHC shall be allowed a maximum of$100. " The reasons for this action, according to Susan Schwab, is that "it discriminates between poor kids and the rich ones." In addition, CC President Bill Miller noted, "You can get a lot of material with that money and all that campaign materials will eliminate the personal contact that the new rules are trying to reach." Miller also pointed out, "There is no way to police this system. Students may go over (the alloted sums) and never turn the receipts in." Under the new campaign rules, all receipts for purchased campaign materials must be turned in to be checked. Miller also noted that he was in .. SPECIAL DOUBLE SAVINGS on your COLLEGE. RING • $10.00 discount on an Ultrium College Ring • Fantastic trade-in values on your old 1Ok gold high school ring check it out! favor of cutting down the alloted sums and he urged all members of CC to attend SG's meeting to speak out on the subject. The action taken by CC would be brought out during that meeting. In a related note, Colleen Gries asked the purpose of increasing the amount of time during which students will be able to vote. Miller answered that this move is hoped to allow more students to have the opportunity to vote. The question then was raised as to whether or not to have on particular location for balloting. It was pointed out that the lobby of the St ark Learning Center would be an ideal location. Susan Schwab noted that SG has used the lobby to conduct its teacher evaluations in the past, and that registration and orientation to clubs and organizations were both held there. Colleen Gries explained that the area used to vote in the student center was smaller than the lobby of Stark and that Stark "seems like a more centralized area." In a vote taken by John Moffat, the group concluded that one central location, such as the lobby of Stark is a good idea. Schwab added, "We (commuters) are always 1idi1on l~ical, Jolin B. · to ORDER 11 \l\\\ :::: Janine Tucker, president of IRH<f is looking forward to sending a delegation of Wilkes College resident hall representatives to the National Association of College and University Resident Hall (NACURH) convention, which will be held November 7th Uu-.,.igh 9th at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.

After much discussion, debate and rev1s1on, Student Government finally passed the new campaign regulations. Although most of the regulations are consistent with previous rules, there are several new parts of the regulations. The new rules allow students to obtain printed material with the exception of mimeographed or dittoed handbills . . SG claims that this will get more students involved in the campaigning and also give the campaigns a semiprofessional look. This is absurd. Pre-printed materials such as bumper stickers, buttons, posters,_etc., will not involve any more people with the exception of the printers who will be duplicating the material. The previous rules call for hand-made materials only. This policy is what gets students involved in so far as they will be the ones who have to produce the goods for display. This campus has _seen many spirited campaigns under the old policy. (Does anyone remember last year's freshman class presidential elections? ) With SG's consistent support and enforcement of the previous rules, more students would find it worth their while to participate in the creation and production of an "original material" campaign. Moreover, the allowance ofpre-printed materials will .leave the doors wide open for candidates to obtain selfadhesive items, such as bumper stickers, and place them at various locations around campus. Several years ago, a candidate used bumper stickers as part of his campaign for office. Although he was disqualified from the election, his promotional materials can still be found decorating the ·waste baskets, walls and lockers of Stark Learning Center. Although this point was raised during S.G.'s discussion of the new rules, it was obviously disregarded. If one candidate's materials are still present after that period of time, what is to happen when four or five candidates obtain the same type of materials? This campus is not physically large enough to sustain this kind of campaigning. The buildings of Wilkes .will become political billboards. This kind of organized .vandalism will detract from the administration's attempt to improve the physical appearance of the campus. In a lame attempt to prevent this, SG has simultaneously instituted a committee to make sure that no materials are abused. How can this committee effectively enforce any rules of such a sustained effort when the present committee is almost ineffective in their attempts? At present, there are no major elections occurring and posters and handbills can still be seen on doors, walls and wherever they are not supposed to be posted. Administrative offices are just as guilty as students in this violation. Several Student Government Activity posters are located in illegal areas, also. Attempted enforcement of the new rules will be ineffective, especially if student response is as large as SG hopes it to be. The new rules also allow a candidate for office to spend up to $25 and presidential candidates for SG, CC and IRHC may spend a maximum of $50 to purchase the materials. Although this section is a modification of the original proposal, which allowed candidates to spend up to $50 and SG, CC and ffiHC presidential candidates were allotted $100, it is still a costly endeavor for most students to run for office. SG again fails to see that many students have no means of financial support other than their parents. In addition, man~students have to scrape dollars just to attend a SUB party or other campus even~. lnstead of attracting more students to office posts, SG ~c; chasing them away. How many students are willing to 1 west $25 or $50 in an office and then face the possibility o: not even being elected? Then, if elected, there is no finan\ ·ial compensation for the expenditure. Also what is to stop some stude. ,ts who can afford to spend 'more than the allotted amounL to do so? SG again cites their Governmental Affairs Committee as the enfore. ing agency. Candidates are to turn in their receipts for inspection by the committee.

Name, age, weight and any particular roles we' were interested in playing. I put down Hermia, Helena, Hippolyta, Tita~a or a fairy - the only possible role a female could play in Shakespeare's comedy, "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Suddenly, a blond-haired zany character jumped out of the wings of the stage and shouted, "OK, everybody follow me! " We scattered our cards on the stage and followed him innocently. In a matter of minutes, 35 students were jogging up and down the steps of the plush, Dorothy Dicksen Darte Center for Performing Arts. After about four laps we all collapsed in the upstairs lounge of the theatre . L. wondered if William Shakespeare ever wore running shoes. Then the blond-haired character introduced himself, "My name is Jay Siegfried and I am director for our fall production, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. I would like you to do some more relaxation exercises which professional actors and actresses do before they audition for shows:' In the next hour we shouted, clapped, twisted and turned our slightly out-of-shape bodies and finally filed down into the auditorium, breathing laboriously. Finally, I thought, we will do some normal speaking roles. Boy, did Jay have us fooled ! We each had to run across the stage individually and attempt to leap as gracefully as a ballerina as we shouted our names. Then he had us all line up in a straight line stretching across the stage. I felt like I was auditioning for ...A Chorus Line" on Broadway. He called our names individually and we had to recite some obscure Shakespearian line "I'll meet by moonlight, proud Titania," while standing center stage. I left auditions that first night feeling slightly embarassed and wondering if I was ever meant to be an actress. The second night things seemed slightly more normal. Each of us were called up to read certain passages from the play. Around 9:30 that night, Jay read his list of callbacks. If you were . "called back," it meant he was interested in you for a particular role, supposedly. When Jay called out my name and asked if I could. come for another night of auditions, my stomach did a double flip and I managed to choke out a weak, "Yes, I can." I happily (and gracefully ) leaped back to my dorm that night. On the third night of auditions our group had dwindled down to 20. We each read a variety of character roles and passages. There was a lot of nervous stuttering among those Shakepearian " thee's and thou's", but some true,talent shone through that night. As my fellow thespians and I continued to read, I peeked at our director, Mr. Siegfried, sitting in the back shadows of the auditorium. He reminded me of a benevolent king scribbling notes and evaluating his favorite subjects -us. Around 9:00 on that third night, Jay said, "Thank you, all of you. I will post the cast list tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, the roles that you read and didn't read tonight have absolutely nothing to do with the part you will get.'' That night, I felt like I was back in junior high school waiting to hear if I had made the cheerleading squad. When I looked at the cast list, I let out a cheerleaders yell; I had gotten a major role! . On the cast list was a note asking us to meet in the lounge at 7 p.m., the same place where we had done our crazy actors' exercises. As the whole cast gathered together that fourth night, Jay had us read through the play. Shakespeare's "A Midsummer was walking down the steps I noticed a bust of William Shakespeare, the old "bard" himself on the stair landing. A car passed by the outside of the theatre, and its headlights flashed across his face. I cquld have sworn he winked at me a!fif to say · "break a leg." ... RoyaFahmy Night's Dream" is one of his most light-hearted comedies. It centers around four major plots - the story of Theseus, Dulce of Athens and his bride-to-be, and Amazon Queen Hippolyta; two sets of lovers, Hermia, who loves Lysander, and Helena, who loves Demetrius. There is only one problem, Demetrius loves Hermia and cannot stand Helena; a group of clowns who are rehearsing a play for Theseus' and Hippolyta's wedding; and Titania and Oberon, King and Queen of the fairies, who love to cause mischief in the Athenian Exhibit at Gallery Creates Unique woods. Environment The cast will perform the play on October 24,25 and 26, so we will all have about four weeks until showtime. I left the theatre that night eager with anticipation. As I "You are in the center. Witnessing the ritual. As sulfur colors the sky. In control. Encircled by anthracite. As roundne$s helps recall. The lost miner's life." These are the words that create the atmosphere in the current exhibit at the Sordoni Art Gallery. If you have walked by the gallery witin the last week, you have probably noticed that the exhibit is set up differently than most exhibits are. Panels are set up in the gallery, forming 'three walls and shielding the interior from view from the front of the room. To experience this exhibit, you must walk around the panels to the center and sit in the chair situated · there. Upon sitting down, you will notice II that there is a pickaxe tied to the side of the plain wooden chair. Surrounding the chair in a circle are a few piles of rocks, with a bare light bulb hanging down over each pile. You barely have time to take all this in, for a tape starts to play and you will hear the words quoted above. This is perhaps the most unusual exhibit that has been at the gallery in quite a while. · What does it mean? The artist who created this experience is John Stascek, a native of Wilkes-Barre who now resides in New York. He has worked with many different kinds of media, both traditional and nonII traditional. Currently his interests are primarily in multi-media environments. The exhibit at the Sordoni Art Gallery, entitled "Miner Memories,." is an example of one of these environments. J Such environmental art allows the spectator to enter into the work and almost become part of the exhiblt. In this way the viewer or listener experiences the atmosphere of the work of art more deeply and meaningfuly, because he is involved in the art rather than being detached from it.

That new something is the new local news department. News Director Mark Thomas explained, "The idea behind college radio has always been a rip-andread idea" in which a story is ripped off the teletype and read on the air. Also, most stations write some of their own local news stories. Such was more or less the case with WCLH, until recently. Ron Labatch related how he had been working at the radio statjon WMJW on a local news beat.He pointed out that he felt that he could try to do the same thing at WCLH.He took his idea to Thomas who approved it. For the local news department to be successful, however, a staff was needed. Ron Labatch was appointed as !,,ocal News Cooldinator and assisting him are Darlene Schaffer, Bob Rushworth, Paul Kanner, and Jim Grobluskey. Thomas pointed out that the people at the station take their work serious!~• and because of that, they have been recognized and are' treated as equals among the other local news media. The members of the news staff have been given identification cards signed by the sheriff, and three staff members have received Wilkes-Barre Police Department LIVE FROM WILKES COLLEGE - Disc jockey Jim Winslow, is coming over the air waves of WCLH-FM reading the local news to the statton's 5000 listeners. ID's allowing accessabilify to certain police materials that they could not get otherwise. The local news department has reporters going out to cover specific beats such as city council meetings and school board meetings. The stories that are covered are basically the same as those stories covered by any other radio station. Thomas poted that one problem occurs if a reporter cannot get to an assigned meeting, because then there is no story. He continued, "We grab and ' scrape if we-have to. We do have limits. We cannot possibly cover everything." . They try to get as much as they can, but they have to work within the limits of time. Thomas pointed out that most colleges do not want to get involved in local news because of the time involved, the lack of training, and the fact that they do not want to take on the responsibility. "We are liable to the college and the public. We have to report the news in a responsible, journalistic style," continued Thomas. "We're limited, but we're trying. First, we're students, then we're journalists, because we cannot afford to be journalists first.'' He explained that the staff is professional in the sense that it does the same work as any professional station, but it Is not professional in the sense that the staff is not paid. The staff has a professional attitude and its members take their work seriously. They have had several exclusives including one about Macy's expressing an interest in the Lazarus Building, and one about a motion for a change of venue and a change of trial date in the Raymond Ziomeck case. Their work has not gone unnoticed. WCLH has been selected as the best college radio station in afi 18county area for the last two years as the result of a contest sponsored by the Professional News Media Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The contest judges college radio stations in the areas- of sports coverage, public affairs, and news. One new aspect of the local news department is a 15 minute program called "Local News in Review" which is scheduled to air every Thursday at 8:15 P.M. The initial show was supposed to air last Thursday, but the station ran into difficulties, so the premiere should be tonight. The news program will take a few important news issues" from the preceeding week and examine them in detail. Instead of just telling the facts, the news program will report on what facts are missing. In additio.p to the "Local News in Review" program, local news is presented every hour on the hour. As for the future, Thomas commented, "It looks bright in the sense that people are coming to the college to be broadcastors. As long as a professional atmosphere exists, the local news will continue to be covered; and as long as we can find dedicated people, we can continue doing what we are doing now."

Former Olympic Champion Wilma Rudolph gave a lecture that I will remember for rest of my life. Wilma Rudolph did not have the advantages that many athletes enjoy today. Wilma was born with polio and spent nipe years of her life in constant pain and agony. There were times when her famil y and friends thought she would die, but Wilma had too much determination to quit. When she was nine years old Wilma would secretly take off her leg brace and try to walk. During this time, the tall, 89 lb. girl could not understand why kids would not play sports with her. These kids later gave Wilma the will and incentive to compete as a world-class athlete. By the time Wilma was 10 she was competing with her friends in all sports. When she was 11 she was beating her friends in- all sports. Wilma had something extra that made her strive to be the best in anything she did. The Tennesseeborn athlete still remembers when she first tried out for her high school basketball team. The coach told her she was too skinny to play high school ball. All h~r life Wilma wa put down, laughed at, and all _she wanted was a chance to play. In her freshman year she made a deal with her coach. " If you work IO extra minutes a day with me I '.Nill become a world-class athlete." The extra work paid off and Wilma became a great basketball player. However, being great was not food enough for her; she wanted to be the best. Wilma would score up to 50 points a game but her teammate and best friend would score 55. It was the first high school basketball team to score more than 100 points in every game. Then a man by the name of Ed Temple came into the youngster's life. Temple was recruiting young hopefuls for his University of Tennessee track team. Coach Temple immediately recognized the talent of Wilma and asked her to attend a summer track program at the tfriiversity. The program meant long, hard hours of work with no guarantee of success. Wilma Rudolph met that challenge head on and became a member of the famous University of Tennessee track team. Going into the 1960 Olympics, Wilma remembered the kids who did not play with her as a child. She wanted to bring home a gold medal to show them how wrong they were. Wilma. Rudolph became the first woman athlete to win three gold medals in a single Olympics. She overcame the many problems of selected Dave Capin as assistant sports editor for the 1980-81 academic year.

After the lecture I had a chance to talk to the former Olympic Champion and get her autograph. It seemed strange standing next to a person who accomplished so much in life.

In the season opener at Baptist Bible last Wednesday, Ken Pascoe topped all runners with a time of 29:20 as the Colonels downed Baptist Bible 17-30 and Penn StateWorthington 17-41. Captain Ed Eppler and freshman Neil Pascoe finished the 5.0 mile course tied at second with identical 29:58's. Dan Thomas finished 5th at 31 :18. Also - running for Wilkes were John - Supinski, 32:50; Joe Dill, 34:04; and Mite Tslvina, 36: 00. , On Saturday, a day Ed Eppler termed "dismal," the Colonels were stopped by host Delaware Valley, 21-38, and crosstown rival King's, 21-34. King's superman Frances Awanya copped top honors at 28:34, while Jim Parsons of Delaware Valley finished 2nd. Ken Pascoe was again the top Wilkes finisher with a 4th at 30:05.

Ron Righter's runners will have a week's rest before they meet Philadelphia Pharmacy this Saturday in the season's home opener at Kirby Park. RICH NORDHEIM Defense was the key in last week's 2-2 deadlock against the powerhouse Elizabethtown Bluejays. The Wilkes field hockey team opened its season with a very impressive defensive showing by locking out the potent Elizabethtown offense. Unfortunately, when the Lady Colonels almost had the game secured, the Bluejays opened up a tremendous attack, stealing away a Wilkes victory with just 3 seconds remaining in the game. Today the Colonelettes will host the University of Scranton at Ralston Field in a very important northern division matchup. Although the Lady Royals aren't as strong as the tough Elisabethtown team, they are in the same division as Wilkes. The 4:00 p.m. game will play an important role in determining who is tops among the local teams. This Saturday, Parents Day, the Wilkes hurlers will host Albright at 11:00 a.m. If this weeks games are anywhere as exciting as the Elizabethtown game, they shoud provide two enjoyable afternoons for those in attendance. The Elizabethtown fans certainly had their share of excitement in last Thursday's game. According to Coach Myers, the lady Colonels were a little rusty as the game opened. She attributed this to the typical first game tensions, not to mention that the Wilkes bus was late, which further complicated matters. The Lady Colonels didn't stay stiff and sluggish for long, however, and soon began to play up to their ability. The defense became better organized allowing the offense to mount an attack. Megan Ward In the closing minutes of the game, the Bluejays entered Wilkes side of the field for their final offensive push. As the clock ticked down, Elizabethtown drilled three very hard shots at the Wilkes net. All were blocked, but, as the third shot bounced off Frey's shin pads, an Elizabethtown player knocked the ball into the Wilkes net to tie the score. Only three seconds remained on the clock. "We held and held, but not quite long enough, " Meyers noted'. "Elizabethtown outplayed us on attack with 33 shots to our 9, but we capitalized on what opportunites we had." In the junior varsity game, Elizabethtown won by a score of 3 to 1. Wilkes' lone goal was made by Karen Bove, who usually plays defense. Because of illness and injury, the JV team was short several players, and some of the varsity girls filled in the gaps. Unfortunately, they didn't play in their usual positions so Wilkes had a difficult time in keeping a continuous offensive threat. The importance of the JV game was to give the second team more practice and playing experience. Freshman Sandy Mccarroll and Tracy Day each did well in the second game. Although the Lady Colonel defense had a good day protecting the net, the team as a whole will have to be a little more successful offensively. In this week's games, the Colonelettes will probably try to open up their attack. Coach Meyers will be looking for better execution and more controlled passing within the scoring circle. If all works out as planned, the offense should open up this afternoon against the University of Scranton. Approximately ten minutes after the Elizabethtown score, senior cocaptain Megan Ward slipped a good shot off to fellow co-captain Pam Snyder, who c~ove to the Bluejay goal. Her shot was blockeds, but left wing Geri McAfee who recovered the ball off the opposing goalie's pads and slapped it in for Wilkes first goal of the afteroon. For the remainder of the first half, Elizabethtow.n put tremendous pressure on the Wilkes defense, but failed to break in for a score. The game remained tied at 1 pointJor each team. In the beginning of the second half, neither team could take the lead nor mount a serious attack. Throughout the half, there was a great amount of midfield play, and Wilkes. had a lot more trouble getting into scoring position. With about 12 minutes remaining in the game, Wilkes broke into a nifMARK JAMES ty fast break, taking the lead, 2 to 1.

In fact, it has been town-right terrible. Apparently, there is not one pe"rson, on or off campus, who reads the "BEACON" who recognizes the old photos which have been published. The sports department can understand why students MAY not be able ta' identify the photos, but what about alumni, faculty and administration? Surely these photographs must jar the mind in some way, shape or form. Can the problem of apathy discussed in previous issues of the " BEACON" pertain to the upper ranks of Wilkes College as well? The sports department doesn't think so for we have have attributed the lack of response to a temporary lapse of recall . To correct this problem, a clue about this week's photo has been provided in an attempt to stimulate everyone's memory. The picture was taken in 1951 and like all other memory photos in the "BEACON," it's identity will not be revealed until someone sends in the answer! ! ! ! 1. 23-0 (England defeated France on Feb. 3, 1923 at Merton, England.) 2. 458 3.

The phrase "You've come a long way baby" no longer 'applies only to cigarette ads and perfume commercials. This pop,ular slogan has come to be the fighting theme of women in every city, state, country, profession and pastime. One of the areas that this phrase most evidently applies to is women's athletics. Women's athletics have certainly come a long way since the earliest dated ball game (c. 2450 B.C.> in which women participated, depicted on Middle Kingdom. murals at Beni Hasan, Egypt. It's astomishing to think that women were not even allowed to watch, let along participate in, the ancient Olympic Games. And it is mind boggling to realize that not until 1919 were women allowed to wear uniforms that exposed more than an ankle. Imagine what it was like to play nine holes of golf in attire similar to today's evening gowns! Similar to the vast changes that have-occurred in men' s sports, women's sports have progressed along the same lines, but at a slower pace. While the men were shooting to the top in regards to media coverage, high salaries, and overall popularity, the women were just getting " their feet on the ground." But in the last fifteen years, women's athletics have caught up to the standards men's sports have established and are presently challenging for the "number one ranking." The days when women 'were allowed to play sports only when the men were through are becoming greatly fading memories. A female athlete today is receiving the same amount of public exposure, the same amount _of professional privileges, and is rapidly approaching the same salary level as a male athlete. Women's athletics are no longer in the shad6ws of men's sports, and in fact, they are quickly winning the public's favor. Although the progress of women's sports can best be seen in the professional realms, amateur athletics are undergoing a change in much the same way. A perfect example of this is an examination of the progress women's sports have made right here on campus.· Starting from · the days when an athletic program for women was unheard of, women on the Wilkes campus now participate intercollegiately in six sports including basketball, field hockey, tennis;·swimming, volleyball and softball. Add to this list golf and cross country in which many women participate, and you have a total of eight sports that women are involved in. .With only 20 years of competition, the six intercollegiate sports have won 11 Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Athletic Association titles, a second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northeast division, 2 MAC Northwest championships, and have qualified numerous times for MAC playoff tournaments. Individual achievements include an MAC MVP and a first-team AllAmerican won by Diane Kendig, Pam Snyder and Jerry Ann Smith being selected two years in a row to participate in the United State Field Hockey National Tournament, and Cindy Glawe, Peggy Butchkavitz and Michele Maguire capturing medals in the MAC Swimming Championships. Even though there are many men's records which are equally if not more impressive, the amount of recognition Wilkes' women's sports have acquired in their brief history is outstanding. The next time you see a tennis match, field hockey game, or any_ women's sporting event on your schedule, drop by and show some support for very deserving athletes.

White's resolution stated that the college is planning to expand the campus through the construction of a new dormitory, and that the college and the historical society have reached an agreement that would allow the college to freely remove the three existing buildings to make way for construction. The resolution asked that the college be commended for its expansion efforts. When the resolution was read at the meeting, however, ~ DiPietro pointed out that he was contacted by the chairman of the historical society and that he was informed that no such a·greement exists between the college and the historical society.(See related story this page.) There was some question as to whether the council had any l~gal authority in the situation and coun-cil voted to table the resolution and refer it to the city attorney . After the -meeting DiPietro told the Beacon that he did not like the story printed in the TimM Leader and he noted that he resented the · headline and claimed it was not 1 true. He noted that he hopes that the college and the historical society are able to solve the problem. AccordingJ o a tape provided by WCLH, DiPietro was asked why he voted to table he resolution and he responded, "The reason that I voted to table the resolution, and I'm glad that council went along with it, is that I think that this is an issue that deals with certain information that council is not direct' ly involved in.

Tuesday's City Council work session, Councilman Edward White announced that fie would present a resolu~ion at the regular council meeting on Thursday commending Wilkes for its expansion effort. According to an article published in the Times Leader last Wednesday under the headline " DiPietro Says Wilkes College 'Using' Council," Councilman DiPietro voiced· his opposition to the resolution and involvement in the matter in · general.' The article states in past as follows: "If White's resolution is passed, DiPietro said,'We would be telling the federal govenment that the people who did the historic preservation study were wrong. I dorft want city council to be strapped between Wilkes College and the historical society.' DiPietro claimed White has a vested interest in Wilkes College and that he met recently with Andrew Shaw concering the resolution."

SG president Joe Galli opened the . meeting by stating that its purpose was for the representatives to get acquainted with each other. President Robert S. Capin was present at the meeting and he commended the student leaders for the jobtheyhavedonesofarthisyear. He noted, "I am really happy about what I have seen take place this year." Capin urged the representatives to encourage their fellow students to support all of the activities of the college. He commented, "When activities are sponsored, the success Galli noted that there is " very littie turnout of faculty and administration" at college sponsored activities. He told the reps to encourage the faculty to participate in the activities. In other business, Al Wirk"llan announced that tickets for the Homecoming dinner dance are on sale in the SG office, and he ran down the list of events for Homecoming. He noted that there will be more displays and floats than last year. Marla Brodsky announced that an arts and crafts day will be held soon and everyone should watch the Beacon for more information. She asked that everyone participate. Tom Rooney reported that this year SG will sponsor two trips to Florida during the spring break. One trip will be to Fort Lauderdale and the other trip will be to Daytona Beach. Rob Doty announced that there will be a clambake this Saturday from 2:00 until 5:00 at Ralston Field. Hamburgers, hotdogs, clams, and soda will be served. Tickets are on sale for $3.50 and this includes admission to a party in the Student Center after Clambake from9 :00untill :OO. It was pointed out that last week the Beacon erroneously reported that the cost of the triorganizational meeting was $300. In fact, the cost was $100. The meeting ended as the members of the three groups sang songs. Louis Czachor The end of the fourth ·week of classes was last Friday. This means that last Friday was the last day for withdrawals from courses without the permission of the course instructor. From the beginning of the semester until last Friday, any course could be dropped after the student notified his instructor, his advisor, the appropriate Dean of Student Affairs and filled out the necessary paperwork for the Registrar. After the fourth week, however, a student can drop a course only with the written approval of the instructor, faculty advisor, and appropriate Dean of Student Affairs. This is the_ first year for this withdrawal system. Previously, students could drop courses without the, instructor's approval through the tenth week of classes. However, Registrar Doris Barker pointed out that she has ' ' always required the three signatures after the first week of classes anyway" because these people have to know if a student is taking a certain course, and if the instructor is not notified, he can arbitrarily give a New w1·thdrawal Po11·cy,· N o Pro blem For Registrar . of the activities is completely dependent on participation" . Capin then asked for respect for college property. He asked that everyone"trytoprotectourgrassa bit. " He explained that people should try not to walk on the grass and should try to keep the campus clean. He added, " Many people say that for an urban campus, we have an appealing campus and it should be kept that way ."

When you trade-in your men's tions from the Student Center to a more centralized location. The " centralized" location will be the lobby of the Stark Learning Center. In addition to moving the elections to Stark, the voting hours will also be extended for a longer period of time. There will also be voting in the cafe in the evening for those students that could not make it to Stark during the day. Chris Fellin noted that "elections on campus are really hurting. The new campaign rules are to help students have a better chance in voting and participating in the elections." The decision for a " centralized" location will be used on a trial basis starting with the upcoming freshman elections. Under reports, the CC-IRHC Halloween Party slated for Friday, October 30, is goin~ very well. The Herman James Band will be performing and Poly-Care will cater the event. Tickets will be $1.50 with a 50 cent refund at the door for anyone who dresses up in costume. Prizes of $50, $25 and $10 will be given respectively to the first through third place best overall costume. The coffeehouse Committee reported that Pat Godwin will be performing on Tuesday October 14, from 11 to 1 o'clock in the Student Center. It was also announced that • another coffeehouse is currently being set up for the month of November. Martha Gallagner will be expected to perform. Gallagner plays the flute, guitar, harp and the pennywhistle. , In old business, CC President Bill Miller thanked all who helped at ' Parent's Day and who participated in the Tri-Organizational meeting.

The report from the Registrar's office is that at this point there have been about as many withdrawals as other years at this time. Despite the controversy surrounding the new rules, Barker reported that so far there have been no problems. She added that she does not expect any problems during the next several weeks either. She concluded, "I really don't think the new policy is to penalize the students. It's just to get them to get more rap time with the professor." Louis Czachor NOTICE REPORTERS ARE NEEDED.

The Beacon has elected to support the negative viewpoint and completely disregard all of the Editorial reply: This letter is in response to last week's articles concerning Commuter Council and Student Government and the page 4 editorial entitled "The Students' Choice."

Moreover, the article referred to OD page 4 is in fact an editorial. Therefore, expression of opinion in this article is inherent.

Blue And Gold Falls To 0-2; Meets Upsala On Saturday The Wilkes College Soccer team "zoomed" past crosstown rival King's College on Saturday at Ralston field by a score of 4-2. A large crowd was on hand to see the contest, and Dung Chi Duong rose to the occasion as he was involved in every goal the Colonels tallied . "Zumi," as he is otherwise referred to, scored two goals and had two veryimprssive assists. His outstanding offensive display has earned him Beacon "Athlete of the Week." Zumi, from Los ·Anegles, Calfironia, is a Viet Nam refugee who was forced to leave his hometown of Saigon because of the communist take -11ver in 1974. He came to Wilkes-Barre originally, and attended Bishop Hoban High School, where he graduated in 1977. Later that year, Zumi 's family moved to Los Angeles. However, Zumi loved Wilkes-Barre so much that he decided to attend Wilkes College. When asked how he originally became interested in soccer, Zumi expalined, "I played soccer in Viet Nam since I was a little boy.Soccer is the national sprt in Viet Nam, just like baseball is in the U.S.A." When he attended Bishop Hoban he couldn't play soccer because the school didn't have a soccer program . However, when he came to Wilkes he picked up where he left off in Viet Nam . Zumi was named "Zumi" captain of the soccer team for this year, his final year at Wilkes . " I am really happy I have been named Athlete of the Week and I would like to thank the rest of the team for helping me get this award. The most important thing to me is not the award, it is the victory over King's." Zumi went on to explain that the team was really up for the game and emphasized the importance of winning the game against King's because, "This will bring more school pride to Wilkes College." Although Zumi has had some trying times in his life, it seems he has adjusted well to the American way of life. The Beacon sports staff wishes Zumi congratulations, not only because he is an outstanding athlete, but because he is an outstanding person as well . 4 44 Senior Rick Burd set a school record - 294 yards and five touchdowns - in leading the undefeated Lycoming Warriors to a 40-0 thrashing of the Colconels at Ralston Field before a good Parent's Day crowd. Burd, a 6'3", 195-pound senior from Lock Haven, connected on 12 of 20, attempts, including two longbomb passes to his brother, junior Mike Burd, before leaving the game late in the third quarter. After a scoreless first quarter, Lycoming got on the board ·with their first score of the afternoon when Burd (Rick) hit Burd (Mike) for a 65-yard touchdown strike. Freshman Lance Spitler added the first of four extra points to put the , Warriors ahead 7-0. Lycoming's second score of the day came with 2: 39 left in the second quarter when Burd hit sophomore wide receiver Jeff Wert on a 23-yard T.D. pass to cap an 81yard scoring drive. Spitler's PAT made the score 14-0 which is how the first half ended. With only 2: 11 gone in the third quarter, Burd connected with Wert for a four-yard touchdown, which all but closed the door on the Colonel 's hopes for a home opener victory. At 9: 15 in the quarter, Burd hit brother Mike with a 77-yard T.D. .QB Hall On The Move bomb. Spitler's PAT logged the score at 27-0 in favor of the Warriors . Burd ended his recordsetting performance with a 10-yard T.D. pass to Wert with 3:22 left in the third quarter. Burd's replacement, Pete Waldron, ended Lycoming's scoring on the day when he threw a 21-yard T.D. pass to frehsinan John Betz with 2: 12 left in the game. Women's Tennis Team Falls To Three Division II Powers · Imagine yourself trying to long jump fifty feet, run a three minute mile and swim the entire length of the Susquehanna River. This was how the Wilkes women's tennis team felt when they had to play three Division two schools this past week . Talk about the agony of defeat! Wilkes lost three straight matches by the score of 9-0. If you think that's bad, wait until you see what happens when Wilkes has to face Bloomsburg this week. Many people say the Dallas Cowboys have a tough schedule, but they have yet to hear the agenda of the Wilkes women's tennis team . When the Colonelettes discover that they had to play five Division two schools in a row, they knew they were in trouble. These schools do not contain your ordinary " Hackers Haven'' tennis teams.

The Royals showed no sympathy in handing the Colonelettes their first 9-0 loss. There was one bright spot in the match. Number one seed Cathy Price stunned the Scranton team by taking a set off their best player 2-6, 6-4, 4-6. The blue and gold then hosted another excellent team in Lock Haven State. Lock Haven was an all-freshman team that trounced Wilkes 9-0. Another sparkling performance by Cathy Price made the loss somewhat respectable. Price fought hard in losing a marathon 57, 7-5, 2-6 battle. East Stroudsburg invaded Wilkes-Barre on Monday led by former Wilkes standout Laura Canfield. The Colonelettes won a grand total of four games in singles and ·doubles compared to . 108 for Stroudsburg. The fun is not yet over for the Wilkes " netters." This week they will travel to Bloomsburg State and today will host Scranton University. Bloomsburg is one of the toughest Division II schools in the · country and Wilkes will need a miracle to beat them. It's tough to say how the team will do the re.mainder of the season.

Bob Buchi1baum The Colonels' closes chance to score came in the first quarter of play when they had a first and goal from the Warrior's one-yard line. This field position came about when freshman George Hall hit junior Tony Madden with a 27-yard pass from the Warriors' 32-yard line after a shanked Lycoming punt. But the Warriors' defensive line toughened up and denied the Blue and Gold a score by stopping four consecutive running plays out of the I-backfield. Lycoming had a total 557 yards total offense compared to the Colonels' 181. The colonels will carry an 0-2 record into next week's game against Upsala at East Orange, New Jersey. Upsala is also looking for their first win of the season next week, with a 0-2-1 record. Last year, the Blue and Gold beat the Vikings by a score of 20-3.

I Skeletons Most of us thought the career of a sports legend had come to an end on September 15 of 1978. In November of that same year the Beacon carried an article entitled, "Requiem for the Heavyweight," which I hoped would stand as a pugilistic obituary for one of the greatest boxers of all time. It is now fall of 1980 and as All Saints Day approaches, the skeletons are coming out of the closet early, very early. The skeleton I am referring to emerged ~arty this summer covered with 252 pounds of brown flesh. Maybe it was the smell of the "long green" Bob Arum produced, the urge to hear crows diatonicaly chant his name, or the bogus feeling one gets from making too many cockroach killer commercials that compelled him to seek his crown again. The axact cause may never be known. Po w, - What is known is this: Cassius Clay, Cassius X, Muhammed Ali, the Black Superman, is back. _ It has been 20 years since the Rome Olympics in 1960, 16 years since the Sonny Liston fight in Lewistown, Maine in 1964, 13 years since his suspension from boxing and subsequent imprisonment in 1967, five year s since the third and final Frazier fight in 1975, and two years since Ali-Spinks 11, in all, Muhammed Ali's boxing career has been longer than this writer's life. Ali's career has spanned the civil rights movement, the -Vietnam War, the peace-love Woodstock generation, the deaths of Malcolm X and Marti'! Luther King, the From Tlae Closet political demise of Richard M. Nixlimit of what an individual can enon, the boxing ends of Floyd Patterdure. What that limit is will be son, Jimmy Ellis, Jerrey Quarry, ofund out after tonight.. . Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle, George Foreman, Jimmy Young, Duane Bobeck and Ken Norton, to name only a few. Stealing a line fron the Grateful Dead, "What a long strange trip it's been." In 197.0, Muhammed Ali said, "When you can whip every man in - the world you just never know peace." Considering the fact that tonight Ali will step into the ring, to face his ex-sparring partner, Larry Holmes, the quote becomes a textbook example of irony. Could it be - ,,. that Ali has neverknown peace and , __ ✓< never will.

Tllere's nobody around to test him." To find peace, all heroes test themselves. Ali has already tested Christianity with his conversion from its Cross to Isla m's Crescent. He has tested tjie establishment. When it asked him to go to Viet Nam, he replied, "They can get themselves another nigger. 'Cause every day they die in Viet Nam for nothing. I might as well stay here and live and die for something. " Tonight Ali will test things he may not be able to overcome - time and himself. Just as the sport of boxing exists as a limit of the authorized savagery a society will permit, so will Ali stand as a I - --r, . 'Ali' Like Achilles poised at the Gates of Troy, So stands Ali, and he ain't no boy . Goin' out and whoopin' fate, Might not be worth the gate. Better make Larry kneel.

In a dazzling display of teamwork and talent, the Wilkes soccer team trounced arch rivals King's College by the score of 4-2. The game was not only action-packed but was also filled with emotion. Both Wilkes and King's had a sizeable number of fans, and each team was obviously out to win at all costs. Wilkes proved to be the better team. Twenty minutes into the first half, Zumi collected a pass from the left and sent a sizzler past the King's goalkeeper. That goal did the trick. Before the goal, it had seemed that the two teams were evenly balanced and whichever emerged as the victor would just be the lucky one. But hardly fifteen minutes after that goal, Zumi sent in the second one and from then on, it weas obvious who the victor would be. The second half was even more action-packed than th~ first. The King's team was out to upset Wilkes, and the Colonels were out to hold the lead. For a while it seemed as if the former would achieve their aims. Early in the second half, they scored their first goal. But even before their fans had stopped cheering, Carlos at right wing collected a pass and sent the ball screaming into the goal mouth. With the score at 3-1, King's began to use rough tactics, knocking a few Wilkes players down with alarming frequency. This almost started ·a fight and only the coaches' intervention avoided it. With tempers still charged, King's scored their second goal, bringing the score to 3-2, but again it was as if Wilkes had deliberately planned to give them a whiff of the sweet scent of victory and then suddenly take it away. Tony at the left wing beat a King's deftnder and shot the fourth goal in. Nothing could have saved King's after that. Wilkes kept up a constant series of attacks which had the spectators , wild. When-the final whistle blew it was happy pandemonium amongst the Wilkes players. The record now stands at 1-2, and with the same quality of play seen on Saturday. many other opponents might find • themselves in a tight corner. 1 Anthony D.

Princesses are Peggy Mascelli and Marla Brodsky. The Queen and her court will reign over the Homecoming Festivities throughout the weekend. The crowning and presentation of gifts will take place cft Saturday's home football game against Trenton State College. Mary is a Nursing - Psychology major from Palermo, New Jersey. She has been editor of the Amnicola for two years, serving as co-editor this year. A resident assistant in Miner Hall, Mary is also involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Mary Giblin Mary is the daughter of Owen and Mary Giblin. Marla, from Old Bethpage, New York, is the daughter of Mel and Sylvia Brodsky. The Psychology major has been active in Student Government for four years, serving as Vice President in her junior and senior years. Marla has been active in freshman orientation for three years. She would like to earn her Master's Degree in Student Affairs after graduation from Wilkes. Peggy, a native of Plains, Penn-sylvania, is an Accounting major and hopes to eventually receive her CPA. She is a member of the Letterwomen's Club and is co-captain of the women's tennis team. She is also active in the Accounting and Business Club. Marla Brodsky Honaeconillfl~----------------~--------------~-- Committee _Reports Reekend Features Ban/ire, Game GiuenAtSGMeetin Faculty committee reports were given at Monday night's Student Government meeting. Parliamentarian Ana Nunez reported on the activities of the Academic Standards Committee. She noted that a subcommittee on withdrawals had developed a statement of policy on withdrawals. The statement of policy as approved by the committee and may possibly be referred to the faculty for further approval. The earliest that it may be put into effect would be next fall. Nunez read the statement of policy which says, "W is not a grade: it does not constitute a reflection of academic performance within a course. The appropriate grade for academic performance below the minimum standard for course credit is O." It further points out that a W granted during the first four weeks of the semester reflects the student's choice to drop the course after consulting the instructor, faculty advisor, and the appropriate dean of student affairs. Also, if a student drops a course to add another course, a Wwill not appear on the transcript. After the first four weeks, a W will be granted only if because of some extraordinary circumstances, the student finds that completion of the course is not possible or feasible. Nunez continued that according to the statement the student is the one who initiates the withdrawal procedure. However, the instructor may withdraw a student from his class because of accumulated unexcused absences. In conclusion, the statement notes that a grade may be changed to a W after the completion of the semester only if the dean of academic affairs decides that the change is necessary. Wilkes Homecoming activities begin tonight with a bon-fire at 10 p.m. on Ralston Field.

Doug Fahringer An l n s i d e l o o k - - - - - - - - - - - - Campus Life In Miner Hall make friends." She went on to say, "Almost everybody knows who everybody is." Another point which was brought out was t he fact that there was a feeling of unity between the girls because they see each other more often than they would in a smaller residence hall. The majority of girls residing in Miner Hall are freshmen . Katie McHugh, a freshman , feels that a larger residence hall is better for freshmen. "A freshman wants to extablish relatinships with other freshmen because they'll be the ones you'll be here with and graduate with. " She further commented that freshmen would all have "the chance to adapt to college life together." When asked what, if any, problems there were, Giblin stated that the restrooms were anticipated to be the biggest problem, but really weren't. The main problem was that "all the repairs _weren't done by the time school started." These repairs included finishing showers and restrooms and providing curtain rods and shades for the rooms. A few girls from the fifth floor echoed these complaints, stating that they "don't think they were ready for us. Everything is just starting to fall into place." Another complaint, but not a major problem, was the fact that there is no elevator. One girl said there are about 76 steps leading to the fifth floor. Giblin concluded that the girls have had to adapt to alot, but "most all the of the eirls like living here." · Lisa Gurka �P e 2, The Beacon, October 10, 1980 Board Of Trustees Rally Sappo!1ing Ronald Reagan Elects Ree Merrtn-s Held On Public Square Last Week Five new trustees were elected by the Wilkes College Board of Trustees at their annual meeting in May. The Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees recommends to the board those whom they feel are qualified and have an interest in serving the College. The five new trustees, elected to a three year term, are : W. Carey Evans, a resident of Wyoming, Pennsylvania. Evans is a 1941 graduate of Bucknell University Junior College and is the President of Wyoming Valley Nursery, Inc. Mrs. Robert L.

Capin, they aim for geographic, alumni, and male and female distributions. The College by-laws state that there should be thirty-six members of the Board, although the College is not required to have thirty-six members at all times. " We have been fortunate to have a pool of individuals in excess of the number of positions. available on the Board," commented Capin. He went on to say that, at this time there is one opening on the Board. This past summer, the new members of the Board of Trustees were invited to the campus for a full day of orientation which gave them the opportunity to meet with key administrators, attend executive committee meetings, tour the campus, and ask questions relating to the running of the campus. Trustee Emeritus Last May at the annual meeting, the following . people were designated as Trustees Emeriti : Mr. Thomas H. Kiley, who was Chairman of the Board, and served since 1963; Mrs. Richard M. Ehret, who has served on the Board since August, 1970; and Mrs. Eberhard Faber, who has served on the Board since 1962. Lisa Gurka Acknowledging the fact that this is a predominantly Democratic region, but also acknowledging his need for cross-over votes, Republican Presidental nominee Ronald Reagan visited WilkesBarre last Wednesday, October 1. At a rally held on Public Square, he delivered a speech that included all of his usual political rhetoric, but it was carefully tailored to appeal to residents of the Wyoming Valley. "Wilkes-Barre knows you must never give up," Reagan remarked, referring to the area's struggle after the 1972 flood, " and through hard work and perseverence you came back, and with good leadership, America can come back! " Comments like this drew cheers and applause from the 3,000 plus crowd gathered in front of the speakers platform. · Reagan arrived on the square shortly after 5 p.m. on the exceptionally warm afternoon, and opened his speech on note of optimism. " I have sensed hope throughout the nation. When hurricane Agnes hit, you went to work and rebuilt. Wilkes-Barre should be a place of growth and opportunity." Reagan then used this theme as a .base for his attack on President Carter's economic policies, blaming the present administration for higher Presidential Candidate Ronald Reagan taxes, and unnecessary increase in the federal government's budget. also made a brief statement against erode to the point where we no He then presented his own prothe Department of Education, longer have the capability to defend posals to remedy the nation's ills which was created by President ourselves."

I Se~ior EmployDlent Seminar Gives Overview Of Job Market "The occupational possibilities you make are your opportunities,'' according to Ms. Paula Placko of the SHS Employment Agency. Placko was one of three speakers who addressed members of the senior and junior classes attending the Senior Employment Seminar. Placko noted that, given the economic conditions of today, the overview of the job market for the next 10 years leads towards the "services" fields. Specifically, . Placko noted that health systems, tele-communications and information systems are the major areas that will have job openings. Placko also stressed that energy-related areas, marketing and sales, medical - health-related services, · cosmetics, food management services and public relations are also viable areas. After the job market overview, Dr. Bradf,,rd L. Kinney of the · Speech Division presented a talk on the fundamentals of interviewing and resume construction. Kinney pointed out that there are six steps in interview techniques: 1) conduct a self-inventory; 2) the initial job inquiry; 3) preparation for inter- view; 4) the people involved in interview; 5) the actual interview; 6) and the follow-up to the interview. Kinney stressed that the keys to have a successful interview are to have a folder with you containing all your information, be willing to communicate and be a good listener. Kinney also urged prospective employees to watch their diction and mode of dress. "Dress as if you already have the job, " he advised. Kinney also explained how to construct resume. The resume must be complete and brief and should contain your home address, phone number and all personal information, including marital and military status. The resume should also explain all work experience, including extra curricular activities and references. At least three ·referem;:es should be included. The third part of the senior employment seminar centered on Eugene Domzalski who spoke on career placement and service. Domzalski noted that there is a career library that may help students with interviews and resume construction.

They are trying to get German food, such as hotdogs and sauerkraut, but may feature _cold cuts with specialty being "German Bologna." The ticket price will be $1.50 with the door opening at 9:00 p.m. Another new twist to the party is the possibility of the band"Polka Jacks" performing.

About four years ago, Dr. Jean Driscoll of the political science department joined with Shirley Eaton of the Language and Literature department to form TGIF, the Thank God It's Friday social group. The _group meets every Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Annette Evans Faculty and Alumni House. "We have no officers and no charter," noted Dr. Driscoll. "We are an informal group with members from all departments. " Although thirty to forty faculty , members do attend the " get together' ' they do not come as representatives from any particular department. Dr: Driscoll commented that the people come "to see what they have in common with each other.

Darlene Schaffer �Page 4, The Beacon, October 10. 1980 C ass Of '81 President Restates T~S?_,~ition o!l..~<!..1!:P.!ll~R ules I take opposition to your "unauthored" article appearing in the September 25th issue of The Beaconon page 4, entitled"The Students• Choice." Although not clearly stated as an editorial, or for th11t matter, , the opinion of The Beacon, we, the students, may only assume that this article is as such. I realize the obligation of the journalist when presenting both sides of an issue, and the responsibilities involved in good reporting. However, several points mentioned in the article should be clarified without the influence of the negative editorial tone. As I was quoted by Mr. Czachor (p.2), I reiterate the point that the inclusion of campaign cost limitations was not a mandate ; l"llther, that it served as a guideline. Handmade materials are still permitted without limitationson amount or number, In regard to the point raised about campaign spending in excess of the limitation, it should be stated that although enforcement of this regulation by the Governmental Affairs Committee may be difficult, it is the fervent hope of S.G. that any person seeking a student leadership honesty and respect to follow these regulations. If not, let .us question the calibre of people seeking office, not the policies which are established for their regulation! The introduction of the policy of obtaining signatures for nomination is designed to Increase student awareness in elections, reduce voting apathy, and generally improve our campus elections. Also, the "extra burden" placed on candldates seeking office can only help their chanc$ of being elected by providing exposure and establishing a platform for the office that they seek. It is in the interest of the College, or for any worthwhile organization to accentuate the positive and strive for constant betterment and advancement. In relation to the College's goal of Reaffirmation - of Values, it is quite clear tht the opinion of The Beaconand the resulting editorial did little to benefit the overall acceptance of the new policy established by the studentelected body, acting with the best interest of the College in mind. In my opinion, this editorial is more damaging than the issues it . is Professor Emeritus State• Vie•• On World Hunger To the Editor: Those persons who are actively ' participating in the CROP WALK "to raise funds for world HUNGER concerns" are to be commended for their taking an interest in one aspect of human overpopulation. However, to supply food to the starving countries without also making it possible for them to reduce humanly, the populations of their countries are questionable. One of the mistakes which citizens of the now affluent countries make is to assume that those countries in which people are starving are the ones which are overpopulated. Actually, the most overpopulated country today is The United States ef America. Overpopulation is not measured by how many organisms are starving to death but by bow much damage the biota is doing to the total environment. Watching people starve while realizing that ~ . feed them may make matters worse is one of the lesser unpleasantnesses which those who are concerned will be forced to endure in this decade.

Joe also said that SG is attempting to get students and faculty on a friendlier basis outside the classroom. When asked what his understan- · ding of the SG President's role was when he ran for the office, Joe commented, "I understood that I would be the chief spokesman for the entire student body. I would be working with a lot of administration and faculty." He said that the hardest thing to realize is the fact that he is a student, and not a part of the administration. Joe went on to comment, "Many people think that SG meetings are my main function . That's the least thing that I have to worry about. I'm setting a presidence, I think, in one way. The past SG presidents just initiated many things on themselves and then tried to follow them through. I'd like to change that because I don't think that's the role of a president.

Offers Advantages To Music Students If you are a music major, or are interested in music education, or are just musically inclined and want to get together with other students with similar interests, then MENC is for you. MENC (Music Educators National Conference ) is a national organization for current and future music educators, with chapters around the country. Wilkes has such a chapter, and this year the chapter on campus hopes to become more involved in campus and community services at Wilkes. In previous years, MENC at Wilkes has not been as visible as some other clubs on campus, but this year, with 45 members and an enthusiastic president, the organization should beeome better known. · The officers this year are : President Jayne Grim ; VicePresident - Maureen Stanks; Recording Secretary - Jessica Kwiatkowski; Corresponding Secretary - Sue Luckey; and Treasurer - Bev Perry. According to J ayne, they hope to involve MENC in a wider variety of activities this year. For instance, this past Tuesday they held a hoagie sale. Other fund-raisers are planned for the future . Jayne stresses that MENC is not just a fundraising club. In fact, that is just one aspect of their diverse activities. For example, the organization plans to contribute a great deal to Home~oming Weekend. They are builing a dis la for Frida ni ht and a - -- - - - - - - - -- - - •- group from the club will perform at Arts and Crafts Day Sunday.

Review NMOCT 3aISdfi the number one smash hit from Diana Ross's latest selt-entitled album has put her back on the top of the recording industry. The album, on Motown Records, has Diana singing to a new beat, the "Chic Beat." In 1979, she joined the growing disco scene with THE BOSS, which reached the top ten on Billboard's Top 100 Disco Charts. Now in her third decade of singing, she has joined super writers Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers of super groups Chic. They have added that "Chic Beat" to the album on songs like UPSIDE DOWN, HAVE FUN (AGAIN ), and the next release to come, entitled I'M COMING OUT. The majority of the album consists of songs like these, but there are a few ballads like FRIEND TO FRIEND, and MY OLD PIANO. The tune MY OLD PIANO is done in the style of the theme from MAHOGANY, a movie which Diana Ross stars in. Dancable disco hits, along with beautiful and meaningful ballads, make this album a must for all record collectors. Along with the writing and musical talents of Edwards(Bass ) and Rodgers (Guitar ) appear the rest of the group Chic ; Alfa Anderson and Luci Martin on vocals and Tony Thompson on drums. All of this plus the super vocal talent of Diana Ross make this album a winner. Diana Ross is COMING OUT.

For a small membership fee, members will receive the monthly publication of the national conference, MENC Journal, and the quarterly, Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Wilkes may send some MENC members to the MENC Regional Division Conference in Hershey in January, and even possibly to the National Conference in Minneapolis. These conferences feature speakers, clinics and workshops on music and music education. MENC at Wilkes also sponsors various clinlcs throughout the year. Last year, a percussion clinic and an electronic music clinic were presented. Guest speakers were invited to come to the college and give demonstrations and lectures on the different instruments. The club plans to continue the clinics this year. As Jayne sees it, the major advantage that the club offers to members is that it provides a source of new ideas for teaching, through the clincis and the magazines. She feels that this is important for all music majors, even those who are not strictly majoring in music education, because, as she says, " If you are a performer, you are an educator." Hopefully, more students will take advantage of the opportunity that membership in MENC affords. MENC meets every two weeks at noon in the choir room in Darte. The organization welcomes any interested students.

Student Center 13oard ••••••••••••••••••••••••• Coffee ~ One item discussed at the biweekly Student Center Board meeting was Commuter Council's proposed coffee houses. The coffee houses, to be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 1, are supposed to be held in the Student Center. The Board members discussed the fact that CC wanted them to provide tablecloths for the coffee houses. Because of lack of funds, they decided that they could not afford tablecloths. · Student Center Board Director Mike Canonico related that when he entered the Student Center last Thursday, he found bare wires all over the Center, as someone had stolen the wire nuts. He called maintenance, and they sent an electrician who repaired the damage. The issue of writing on the walls was discussed again this week. It was decided that memo boards be Dscussed put up where the writing was, and assistant director, Lisa Prokarym, was put in charge of obtaining them. There were also tentative plans to install four speakers in the second floor game room. Vandalism was also mentioned this week, as the Board noted vandalism on the first floor. Also, in one of the second floor rooms, a screen has been ripped out of its casing. Plans were made for repair. It was announced that Student Center parties were to be suspended indefinitely, because of Student Government's party policy revision. Assistant director Carol Benek noted that many students are unaware of the Student Center hours. The Center is open Monday through Thursday, 9 A.M. to .11 P.M. ; Friday, 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.; Saturday, 12 noon to 4 P.M. ; and Sunday 12 noon to 11 P.M. It was also noted that many students do not know that the second floor of the Student Center provides them with pinball games, various other games and a TV room. Director Mike Canonico added that there are also lounges or "places to hang out" upstairs. Linda Pallion Scranton, Pa. Junior English Major The changing colors of the trees look really pretty.

He spent 10 weeks this past summer in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, measuring and analyzing the soil and water near low 0level radioactive waste burial sites. His research project may help in finding a safe way to dispose of these harmful wastes. After receiving and carefully reviewing over 400 applicants, the United States Department of Energy chose Paul to be one of its students conducting reseach. The areas of resarch assigned by the Department of Energy were based on interests expressed by the students. "After I explaiijed different areas of study under which I wanted to work, the Energy Deartment assigned a research project to me. Then I received information on research already done in that area and was assigned to work with one of the staff scientists." Specifically, Paul's reserch dealt with measuring the soil and water in areas of Be-a eon •B its part of his research. In comparing these methods to others, he found that they were not the most useful methods for that type of research. By experimenting with different methods, he learned what professional research was all about. " I had access to information and equipment not avaialble anywhere else, and I saw the directions present research in certain fields is taking." When asked what the . ultimate goal of his work was, he replied," In the long run, I hope it will be part of helping to control the production of radioactive waste." What is in the future for Paul Hausman? "I'd like to go to graduate school and major in environment pollutant transport studies. Maybe I'll work towards my doctorate. Eventually I'd like to work for a private industrial consuiting agency helping to control ______________ pollutants." Without a doubt, Paul's experiences with his Oak Ridge -used for radioactive research will help him attain his waste disposal. goals. Knowing this, he enocurages He began his work by using and others to look into the program oftesting the standard methods for fered annually by the Department measuring water-flow, which was of Energy.

PoliticaJSjerre~ •••••••••••••••••••••••• Revisions To Curriculum J\;trE Since the beginning of the fall term, the Political Science Department at Wilkes has been operating with a restructured curriculum. . The restructuring.was planned last year by Dr. Jean Driscoll, chairman of the political science department ; Dr. Robert Freysinger and Mr. Tuhy, assistant professors; and Dr. Andrew Shaw, adjunct professor and dean of management. The changes were prompted, -Dr. Driscoll explained, partly because, "the department feels students have not fully understood that the largest growing job market in the United States is that of administration in governmental and non-profit institutions. Also, the department intends to make job opportunities more visible and more fully prepare the student for careers in administration." Many of the jobs will result from a trend toward increased governmental jobs on federal, state, and local levels, despite many calls for reduction of government bureaucracies. Jobs will also be created by a growing need for professionals in special interest and pressure groups and a growing demand for . administrators in social service agencies, particularly health services agencies. The political science department has intentions of developing a curriculum in the future to accomodate studies in the health services. One of the prime features of the new curriculum will allow political science majors to take a concentra- 1 tion in public administration and policy. This will require students to ' take a total of 39 hours in political science, including the standard six hours of. introductory courses, (In,; troduction to American Politics and Modern Political Systems ) and . courses such as Introduction to Public· Administration, Governmental Budgeting, Public Personnel Administration, Policy Formation in the Legislature, Ad1 ministrative Polici Making and a topics course in public policy. This will fulfill 24 of the required 39 credit hours. For the remaining 15 hours, students must select one course focusing on administration at the state and local level and one focusing on the federal level. An additional course is required from either area, which the student may select. Finally, six elective credit hours must be taken in political science to complete the requirement. The restructuring will also enable students to declare a minor in political science. A total of 21 credit hours in political science is needed to fulfill the requirements of the minor. Changes were also made in the regular political science curriculum. The Concepts and Methods course will now be required for all political science majors entering Wilkes College this fall and the hours required in the major have been increased from 30 to 33. Other changes include the new policy focus described above and a z 0 a.. ;:, 0 tJ ~ ~ = ;> ~ ~ ~ > new course on the Presidency. Several course numbers have also been changed. It is important that students taking political science courses this fall understand that the numbering of most courses was changed to correspond with the numbering of other departments and to suggest to students a logical order in which to take the course. The first semester grade cards and transcripts will appear with the new course numbers, rather than the numbers used when the courses were selected. In the_Comparative and International Politics area, changes were made to emphasize the political science aspect, rather than the historic or geographic aspects of comparative politics. The new courses are Democratic Systems, Communist Systems and Politics of Developing Areas, which was formerly a topics course. International Relafions was renumbered from P.S.222 to 327 to indicate its relation to History 328, U.S. Foreign Policy, which can be used as a political science elective.

Tony Madden has been an outstanding athlete eversince he was in junior high school. At Wyoming Valley West High School, Tony was All League in both football and basketball. During his senior year at Wyoming Valley West, Tony was recruited by colleges for both sports but he decided to play only football in college. He was recruited by Rutgers, University of Richmond, University Delaware, North Carolina State, and Temple University. After examining his alternatives, .,. Tony decided to attend Temple on a full athletic scholarship. After playing varsity for Temple for two years, Tony decided "big time football" was not for hin. Many people don't reaiize how "football factories " operate--it is not as colorful as it is cranked up to be. The junior accounting major from Pringle, Pa. explained ; "We had to lift weights 365 days a year, and during the season we had to watch films every night. I can remember my sophomore year when the head coach told me to drop a night class because it was interfering with football. " Tony felt he was sacrificing too much academically at Temple, so he decided to transfer to Wilkes. Coach Schmidt is very happy Tony decided to come to Wilkes, he explained, "Tony has made a great contribution to the Wilkes football program, and be is extremely coachable. Tony is so talented that before too long other teams will have to double team him because it is almost impossible to cover him o,ne on ·one. Everything Tony has contributed to this team has been i>Sitive, but more important than Tony Madden his athletic ability is his attitude. He is an outstanding young man.'' In Saturday's 19-14 loss to Upsala, Tony had 6 receptions for 108 yards. Although he did not score either touchdown, his receptions put the Colonels in excellent field position throughout the afternoon. Tony explained he was happy to be named "Athlete of the Week." He continued, "This is self-satisfying, but I would be much happier if we came home with a victory. Our team has come a long way since the opener, and hopefully this coming Saturday we will break into the win column." Tony has not only excelled in football at Wilkes, he is also co-captain of this year's basketball team. Last year was the first time Tony played basketball since high school, but he adjusted tremendously to college ball, as he was the leading rebounder for the Colonels last year. TheBeaconsports staff wishes Tony congratulations on being named Beacon"Athlete of the Week." We would like to wish him continued success for the remainder of the football season, and a successful basketball season.

Main St. Wilkes-Barre , Pa . IO" BONUS WITH THIS COUPOII In a game marred by numerous officiating errors, the Blue and Gold dropped their fourth contest of the season to Upsala College by a score of 19-14 at the Vikings home field. In the most contested call of the day, junior Tony Madden was marked one yard short of a first down after apparently taking a first down pass off of quarterback George Hall · with the Colonels' behind 19-14 late in the game. The "failure" to make the first down on the fourth down attempt forced the Colonels to turn the ball -over to the Vikings who then ran the remaining 20 seconds out on the clock to garner their first 1980 victory. Upsala opened the scoring in the game when Dave D' Andrea pushed his way over from the three yard line at 7:36 capping a 75 yard scoring drive. Ben Middleton added the extra point, and the Vikings led 7-0. Mid-way through the second quarter, Middleton kicked a 32 yard field goal and gave Upsala a 10-0 Savoca's PAT gave the Blue and Gold a 14-13 lead. But the Vikings were not to be denied for they mounted an impressive 85 yard scoring drive capped by Ellis Smith's eight yard T.D. plunge. The extra point was no good, but the score gave Upsala a 19-14 command of the game. On the initial kickoff, Scott Davenport returned the ball 24 yards to the Colonel 33 yard line. After an incomplete pass, Hall hit Madden with a 17 yard first down pass taking the Blue and Gold to the 50 yard line. After failing to complete one pass, Hall hit Madden for a four yard gain moving the Colonels to the Vikings 46 yard line. LoPresto gained five yards on a third and six carry taking the ball to the 41 yard line of Upsala. With fourth and one facing them, Wilkes optioned to give the ball to LoPresto who picked up an important seven yards to the 34 yard line. Then after missing on three pass attempts, Hall hit Madden at the 23 yard line for an apparent first down. Unfortunately, the official "saw" other-wise and marked the ball at the 25 yard line of the Vikings, forcing the turn over on downs to Upsala. The Vikings successfully ran out the clock and knocked the Colonels record to 04. FOR YOUR INFORMATION---Tony Madden looked excellent catching six passes for 106 yards ....

With five minutes left in the first half, Carmen "Homer" Lo Presto leaped into the end zone putting the Colonels on the score board. After Vince Savoca split the uprights with the PAT, the Blue and Gold found themselves only 3 points down when the half ended. Going through a scoreless third period, Upsala got on the board again when Middleton hit a 32 yard field goal giving the Vikes a 13-7 nod. But the Colonels apparently took control of the game for good when "Homer" Lopresto pushed his way over for a T.D. with only 7:20 left to play in the game.

Hania:s<..1111! \\Ins ln30at0f 4Meets was an unbelievable occurance," claimed Coach Ron Righter after his runners took 3 out of 4 meets last Saturday in Philadelphia. Why unbelievable? Wilkes entered the meet with only 6 runners and by the end had only 5 as the injury and flu bugs started to hit the Colonels. In that meet, the harriers defeated Springarden, Philadelphia Textile and, for the second time this season, Baptist Bible. The only loss was to York College. Division 1 Drexel also ran but their results did not count. Ed Eppler, who Righter said " ran the race of his life," paced all Colonel runners with a 4th overall time of 28 :13. Ken Pascoe followed close behind at 5th, while brother Neil placed 10th . "Those 3 were key places when they figured out the final results," Righter stated. Danny Thomas, usually one of the top 3 finishers for Wilkes, did not finish because of a knee injury. Thomas' status is a big question mark. Another runner bogged down was Jim Bell who came down with the flu on Friday. With those two out, John Supinski and Joe Dill became the 4th and 5th men an Righter felt they did " a good job." The thinclads were also undermanned three days before as they lost to Muhlenberg, 27-30 and "a very powerful" Scranton, 25-40. Ken Pascoe was top Colonel finisher with a 4th and Ed Eppler had a 7th. Also running were Dan Thomas, John Supinski, Jim Bell, Joe Dill and Neil Pascoe, who was under par with the flu . The Colonels, now 6-5, return home this Saturday to host Moravian as a part of the annual Homecoming Weekend. Rich Nordhei m Look out Stanford and U.S.C., the Wilkes women's tennis team is coming up! It was on a cold and windy day that Wilkes won their first tennis match in two years. Division one schools will have to start making room for Wilkes after their impressive 5-2 victory over: Baptist Bible College. You have to understand that Baptist Bible is not one of your "par excellent" tennis schools. However, you can't take anything away from Wilkes because they have come a long way from last years embarrassing 0-12 season. Last week started off on a losing note when the Colonelettes suffered their fourth straight loss 9-0 at Bloomsburg State College. The team, however, managed to win a few games and were very confident going into Saturday's match. It was a day that saw all the squad's hard work and extra ·practice sessions finally pay off. The Wilkes " netters" put the game far out of reach by winning all five singles matches. Cathy Price aced her opponent with a 6-0, 6,0 win. Deb Welliver and Charlotte Fees, also, scored easy victories for Wilkes. Terry Monseur needed three sets to win her match when something happened. Peg Mascelli won the first set 6-0 and won the second by a remarkable score of 9-8. Wilkes lost both doubles matches, but by this time, it was all over. The blue and gold broke out the champagne (Gatorade) as they gained their first victory of the season. All pandemonium broke loose at Ralston Field. Never has victory been so sweet as it was last Saturday.Coach Snee has really done a remarkable job in turning an unexperienced group of players into a determined, hard-working squad.

( Photo courtesy of Wilkes sports information dept.) With a record of three wins and four losses, the Wilkes Women's Volleyball team is working hard toward their goal of a winning season. Although the team has lost four matches, the scores were very close and the team played well together. When the team went up against Scranton, the spirit was high . Over the past few seasons, Wilkes has been dominated by the Royals, but this year, Wilkes kept pace with the Blue and White, keeping the scores close and winning one game of the match. " If our team spirit remains as high as it was when we went up against Scranton through the rest of the season, we can have a winning season" commented assistant coachNancyRoberts. The spirit remained high as Wilkes defeated Upsala with scored 15-0, 15-6, 11-15, and 15-6. "The team played as a unit and there was a lot of support from the bench," Coach Roberts said. " When there's that much team spirit, we're at our best." The spirit dimmed somewhat as the Colonettes went down in defeat at the hands of Dickinson in three games out of a four game match, but was recaptured early last week in time for Wilkes to defeat its archrival, King's.

If you ask me how many times I've heard this over the years, I probably couldn't even tell you. It seems that Howard Cosell, Don Merideth and Frank Gifford have been my constant Monday night companions since I can remember. Indeed, Monday Night Football seems to have become an integral part of the American ilk. What has made a game once considered unsellable on prime time h ..o a multi-billion dollar enterprise? Well, one of the main reasons has to be Howard, Dandy Don, and Fancy Frank. I can still remember hearing the trio for the first time. It was unlike any sportscasting I had ever heard. Here were two ex-jocks and a Brooklyn lawyer "telling it like it is." I must say I was shocked. These guys were brash, straightforward and one was particularly obnoxious. Howard Cosell may be the most obnoxious person alive, but he is also one of the most intelligent sportscasters anywhere. Cosell is the one person Americans " love to hate". One bar in the area even sells chances to 'get even' with Cosell. These chances involve the winning of a brick which may be thrown at the TV whenever the contest winner feels Cosen has said enough. I must say my first impression of Cosen was not very good. Here was this lecherous geek rattling off twenty-five syllable words, interrupting and correcting his fellow announcers and generally making a jerk of himself. " My god, " I thought " someone should mace that idiot." Well, over the years my feelings for Cosell have mellowed. I have come to understand that hem paid to act the way he does. He is a selling point and if being obnoxious sells, then so be it. The other two announcers are good. I've come to believe more people cheer for Dandy Don than the teams. When the " dandero" insults or corrects Cosell, the crowd loves it. Merideth is no dumb ex-jock. He is highly intelligent. Anyone who plays quarterback for Tom Laundry has to be. Frank Gifford is a good play-by-play announcer. He seems to know his facts and usually does a good job. Although he tries to stay away from the squabbles between Cosell and Merideth, Gifford sometimes corrects either of them and the fans love it. Maybe it is because the three of them seem to badger each other constantly or maybe two ex-jocks and a quasi-intellectual equal some sort of good 'karma' to the fans, but whatever the reasons these three gents are a primary selling point to the fans. Monday Night Football has changed the sport drastically. It has brought prosperity and success to many. In the past, games were usually played on Sunday. They maintained popularity, but the big money was not there. Monday Night has changed that. By bringing football into the prime time arena, television has made big name actors out of today's football players. In one night a no-name third rate jock may be transformed into a big money hero. Monday Night Football has made millions for players, owners and networks. It is one of the great success stories of television. Now expanded to two nights a week, on occasion, Monday Night Football will definitely continue to enjoy success. In ten years a lot has happened in the world. There have been disasters, wars, great soeial upheaval, not to mention disease, bloodshed, and Howard Cosell. Monday Night Football is also ten years old. During those ten years it has entirely changed the face of sports forever. But what is life without change? Monday nights were once boring and depressing, but now : "Dandy, there is a brouhaha on the field!" " Well Howard, kill the sucker!" . Monday nights will never be the same...

After it took place, one writer called it "the burial in the desert. " After reading numerous articles about it, the only thing I can call it is " the big rip-off." The it I am referring to is the fight that took place this past Thursday between World Boxing Council Champion Larry Holmes, and three time world heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali. As everyone probably knows by now, Holmes scored a technical knockout in the 11th round when a battered and truly beaten Ali did not answer the bell for that respective round. Ali's failure to come out in the llth not only was the "setting sun" on this particular fight, but also on a boxing dynasty as well. I named this fight " the big rip-off" because that is what I felt it was. Granted the fans were not ripped off for they received what they wanted. Those who hated Ali throughout his career got ths satisfaction of seeing him mutilated at the hands of Larry Holmes, Fans of Ali got "one more" ,chance to see their idol in the ring. Don King certainly was not ripped off for he received the money that he expected for staging the fight. Holmes retained his title while also earning a nice piece of change for one night of "light" work. So who do I feel was "ripped off?" Muhammed Ali of course! For as long as I can remember, my love for Ali has not bnen great. In fact, throughout his career, I couldn't stand the guy. I used to 1ove to watch Ali fights, not to see him win,-b~t to hope someone would knock him out. But as time went on and Ali garnered his third title, my hate for the man changed to respect. This is not to say that I became an Ali fan, God knows this will never happen, but I no longer wished his defeat or mutilation. Respect developed in me for the man's true athletic ability, and the way he achieved the goals he set for himself. After pondering my conception of Ali, I found out that he truly was nothing like I had pictured him. Re-evaluation of Ali, in my mind, left nothing but admiration for him as an athlete, and sincere respect for him as a person. This past Thursday's event created a great disturbance in my mind as to the validity of my conception of Ali. I asked myself, "Why would a 38 year old man who has proven himself time and time again want to submit himself to such punishment? A man of his intelligence must know that the ~uman !><>dy can onl)'. take S? i_nuch ! " Well; whatever_his reason for wantmg to fight once agam was, 1t ts a reason that must be important enough to justify the ridicule and embarrassment he must now be suffering. For a man who was once a true champion and who had the respect of the entire sports world, he is now a defeated boxer who must somehow regain the dignity and respect that was once inherently his. Ali's fight against Holmes was a mistake. Wanting to fight again after this past Thursday's disgrace will be an even bigger mistake. Ali must accept the fact that it is true that "time waits for no one." The quicker the " cha·mp" realizes this, the Ion er he will remain the "cham ." Sports Notice · There will be wrestling practice tonight in the Gym at 6:00. Equipment and lockers will be assigned at this time. Anyone interested in wrestling this year is urged to attend. Wrestling practice officially opens on Monday, October 13. For more information, contact John Reese at ext. 340. Bowling Results Last J<' riday night, things ran smoothly at the alleys. The Falcons decided to change their name to the Columbian 300's. They took three games while shooting a couple of decent scores: Guy Zehner, 201; Doug Williams, 235; and Karl Blight, 206. Looking at the brighter side, Dr. Driscoll's Diplomats won two games over the Aristocrats. In the second, Tom Maguire of the Aristocrats shot a 200. Poky's continued their graceful style as they took three from No Names. In the third game, Kathy Kulp shot a 186, and Jon Pliskin rolled a 204. Poky's went from fourth place to second. The Avengers won three games as Lisa Prokarym muscled a 181, 181486., and Bruce Fender shot a 187. 752 Crew rolled over Decaying Human Flesh as Jack Kijek threw a tremendous 211-554.

Fund reqqests of this size are rarely brought before SG and the last time one was passed was probably when the ice hockey club made a similar request last year. The club was represented by Tom Mitchell and Jim Kovacs who explained tbat the club has many expenses, including equipment and fees for use of the Wilkes Barre Ice-A-Rama at Coal Street Park. After the club made their original request a few weeks ago, the matter was taken before the college athletic committee. SG treasurer Tom Rooney stated that he had proposed to the committee that the ice hockey club become a varsity sport. The committee found that the nearest ice hockey league, however, was located in New England, and as a result traveling would be a problem. Also the committee determined that the initial investment for coaches, equipment, and other necessities would be too costly. The athletic committee also felt that in addition to not being able to support the club entirely, going halfway with their support would be wrong. The ice hockey club, in cooperation with IRHC, has planned to have ice skating parties before some oi their games. The first will be from 7:00 to 9:00 on Tuesday, October 28 at the Coal Street Ice-A-Rama. IRHC will pay the rink rental and skate rentals for the party which will be followed by ice hockey against King's College at 9:30 p.m. COMMITTEE REPORTS In other business, a few more faculty committee reports were given. Rob Wallace and Mary Kay Pogar reported that the Student Publications Committee had approved Dr. Norma Schulman as the advisor for The Beacon, Jack Hardie for the Manuscript, and Richard Fuller for the Amnicola.Also, Dr. Schulman resigned as chairman of the committee and Dr. William Sterling had been asigned to take · her place. It was also noted that the committee had been informed that SG was planning to begin publication of a newsletter, and that as an all-college publication run by students it might possibly come under the jurisdiction of the Student Publications Committee. There was some question as to whether the newsletter would be just duplicating a service already provided by The Beacon. SG president Joe Galli and SG vice-president Marla Brodsky pointed out that although The Beacon covers what happens at the meetings there is still a lot about SG that the students do not know. When it was mentioned that people do not know how SG works and they do not know who the representatives are, Galli reminded everyone that he had sent a four-page letter to every Forensic Union Begins 31st Season With Victory The Wilkes College Debate Union opened its 31st season with an impressive victory. The members of the speech unit traveled to the Clarion State Autumn Leaf Debate and Forensic Tournament in Clarion, Pennsylvania. The lP,am competed for three days against schools from five states representing eighteen colleges and universities. Novice speaker Linda Esrov finished in first place in informative speaking, finishing ahead of 33 other contestants. This was Linda's first intercollegiate tournament. The tournament officials also honored her ✓by awarding her "The Outstanding Novice Speaker For Informative Speaking" trophy. In the entire history of ON THE COVER A BLAST FROM THE PAST · In celebration of National Newspaper Week, October 12 - 16, The Beacon takes a look at the years gone by via old mastheads taken from page l of 1965, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, and 1979 issues. We've come a long way! Wilkes College, this is only the third time that this award has been won. Also in informative speaking, varsity member Jon Pliskin continued his winning record with a 5th place trophy. Darlene Schaffer, Nancy Ginter and Carol Griffith rounded out the Wilkes squad that competed at Clarion. Wilkes entered all areas of competition and each individual member had stiff competition for the year's opener. Darlene Schaffer became the first Wilkes student to enter seven events. Ginter and Griffith, both freshmen competed with distinction in the first intercollegiate contests. The next rhetorical contest for "Kinney's Kids" will take place this week when Wilkes travels to Shippensburg State College to participate in the Annual Novice Tournament. Membership is open on the Debate and Public Speaking Team to any full time student. The Debate Team and the Public Speaking Unit is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the Speech Division. student this summer explaining those things. One rep mentioned that the letters probably ended up in the garbage. Galli replied, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Rob Wallace suggested that all those involved with the construction of the newsletter develop a fact sheet explaining what it would accomplish and take this fact sheet to the next Student Publications Committee meeting. It was decided that some members of SG will attend the next committee meeting. Elaine Kerchusky reported that the Graduate Studies committee is considering revising the graduate grading system to include the .5 grades already included in the undergraduate grading system. The committee is also concerned about the drop in graduate enrollments. In ad<1ition, the committee felt that there is a need for some type of graduate engineering program. Tom Rooney'pointed out that the athletic comn'littee has stressed to the coaches the importance of academics and athletes. He said that the committe has encouraged all the coaches to get their athletes to go to classes to make the necessary grades. Also, the committee would like tighter security and more up-keep of the facilities at Ralston Field. Bill Miller announced that the TREC committee has run into opposition concerning the teacher evaluation form which they created and which has been approved by the faculty. Some departments are having second thoughts about the evaluations and are trying to send the form back to the faculty for review. The chemistry department, in particular, has sent a letter to the committee stating that it is against any kind of evaluation of the faculty. COFFEEHOUSE' Corrina Bender announced that SG's Social Committee will sponsor a coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24. Admission will be $.25 with Wilkes ID . The coffeehouse will feature Ted Steranko. John Finn announced that Wilkes COPUS will be working very closely with the University of Pennsylvania in setting up a statewide chapter of Copus. Galli commented that this summer SG decided to sponsor a small school co.nvention. The convention will be held sometime in January and representatives from approximatley 15 small colleges will be invited to attend. Plans for the convention will be made in the near future. Dean Hoover concluded the meeting by commending those who worked on Homecoming for doing "one bang-up job."

In 1965, 24 per cent of all high school students were required to take a second language.This decreased in 1979 to 15 per cent. On a college level, 34 per cent of all students were required to learn a second language. Language. The average European knows between three and four languages. The Japanese people are forced to study six years of the English language, along with their own. How many foreign languages to you know? According to Dr. Walter Karpinich, Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages, "There was a trend toward not learning a second language, but in the last two or three years, there has been a rever-· sal in that trend." Karpinich noted that more than ever before, America is in rieed of a second language. "Given the current economic conditions and the international relations between foreign markets, a need is being created to know at least one foreign. languilge," he said. In a report set up by President Jimmy Carter on the current status of foreign languages in America, it was reported that "nothing less than our National Security is at stake" when there is a deficiency in foreign language. Karpinich cited two examples where there had been a communications breakdown because America had not been proficient in a foreign language. "When the Pepsi-Cola Company took its drink to Europe, it accidentally mis-translated its message to mean that by drinking Pepsi you will be able to bring back the ancestors from the dead." In another example, Karpinich said, "Bodies (car frames) by Fisher" were again mis-translated to read "Corpses by Fisher!" Karpinich contributes both incidents to a lack of proper foreign language education. By recognizing the deficiency, many colleges and universities are reinstating the foreign language requirement. "Harvard just recently re-instituted the foreign language requirement and there seems to be trend toward a more global education of foreign language. Here at Wilkes, we are holding our own by offering foreign language as a major and as core courses. We offer an opportunity for students to explore foreign languages and we are doing very well." Karpinich noted that the enrollment figures are "representative of the students we have and that given that we are not a language institution, we still have respectable enrollment figures ." Currently Wilkes has five foreign language instructors and offers classes in German, Russian, French and Spanish. In addition, a foreign language lab with video and audio aids is available to help students obtain a fuller understanding of. a foreign language. Turning to the future, Karpinich said he foresees that "Wilkes College has always had the ability to adjust to the needs of the students and that it will meet the needs in foreign language if the trends are there." Darlene Schaffer �,: Page 2, The Beacon, October 16, 1980 Oktoberfest Festivities To Conclude IRHC Hears Gaest Speaker From U ~iver~ity Of Cincinnati Tomorrow With Student Center Party All this week, Commuter Council sponsored the Oktoberfest. The festival started with a lunchtime coffeehouse with performer Pat Godwin. Godwin was the first of his type of entertainment, and more coffeehouses are planned in the months ahead. Artist Mary Gallagher will be the next person to have a coffeehouse. She is scheduled to perform on November 6. The second major activity in conjunction with the Oktoberfest was a roller skating party held on Wednesday night at Roller King. Originally, the party was to be held on Thursday, but due to a problem in scheduling, it was changed to Wednesday. The Oktoberfest will conclude with a Student Center Party on Friday, October 17. It will start around 9:00 p.m. and end roughly at 1:00 a.m. Cold cuts will be served from Poly-Care and there will also be munchies. Soda will also be provided. Tickets are $:50 and a limit of 300 tickets will be sold. Music will be from records and Norm Witko will be the guest DJ. CC President Bill Miller noted that this Oktoberfest is extremely important. He further pointed out that the Student Center Party is a major event because " the future of how parties will run depends on us and our party." While on the subject of parties, the CC-IRHC Halloween Party is scheduled on Halloween and the party looks like it will be in the gym. The Herman James Band will perform and catering will be by Poly-Care. Tickets are $1.50 with a refundable $.50 if you come dressed in a costume to the party.

The bus trip will be set for November 26 and a $25 deposit was given by CC ·to reserve one 43 passenger Martz bus. Miller noted that the bus trip will "provide a good opportunity for dorm students to get home and also let some commuters have a day in New York." In old business, Miller wished to thank everyone for working on the Homecoming display. "They deserve a lot of credit," he added. Miller also noted that there will be a NOTICE Due to fall break, the Beacon will not ~ published next week. The ' embarrassed." Joe Galli, Student Government President, explained that it's not all the student's fault. Galli ·noted that he had gone to Charles Abate and requested necessary ashtrays and other material in the third week of September. Abate said yes and filled out the necessary forms . Galli urged that if students are really upset to complain to the necessary people to take some action. The last topic of discussion centered on illegal drinking. Bill Miller urged students who were unsatisfied with the drinking policy and the legal drinking age in this state to write to their state government officials to reduce the dirnking age. Just two reminders : there will be a joint CC-IRHC meeting on November 23. The next meeting for Commuter Council is Monday, October 27. Darlene Schaffer .special CC meeting-get together this Sunday starting around 7: 30 p.m. in the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House. Under reports, Joe Knox of COPUS explained that COPUS is currently working on a state level to form a state body of COPUS and that things are devleoping very well. Knox also reported that pay increases for work study are retroactive starting from October 1. This also holds true for the NDSL, which was increased to 4 percent starting from October 1. Also, there will be an ugly picture contest. For more information call or stop by the Commuter Council Office or IRHC's Office in Weckesser Hall. The meeting concluded with a discussion on drinking and litter control. IRHC President Janine Tucker noted that certain areas on campus were looking unpresentable and that " there is trash all over areas that really is making me Friends 0/.S ordoni Art Gallery Planning Trips To Museunas The Friends of the Sordoni Art Gallery are planning to sponsor group tours two or three times this vear. The trips will be centered around a special art show or event. Last year, the group travelled to the Museum of Modern Art to see the show, " Pablo Picasso: A Retrospective." This year, a two day bus trip to Washington, D.C. , called "Paris on the Potomac," is being planned for mid- April. A brief run-down of the schedule for the trip follows. The group will leave early in the morning from Wilkes-Barre, and will pause at the Brandywine River Museum along the way. Here, a reception and tour has been arranged. Next, the group will arrive in Washington. They will meet the renowned artist, Rowan LeCompte, who will accompany the tour through the Washington Cathedral to view LeCompte's famous stained glass windows. From the Cathedral, the group will proceed to tour elegant Embassy row, and then to a private showing of the Reception Rooms at the State Department. tr ·Then there will be time to relax at the hotel, the Hyatt House, where the group is staying. A riding tour of the cherry blossom trail will follow, and then the group will dine at either a French restaurant or at a seafood place on the Potomac. On the second day, a private tour of the White House will be conducted. Afterwards, members of the group may choose any of the following tours at the mall museums: Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Air and Space Museum, the I.M. P~i wing of the National Gallery of Art, plus a special private showing of the collection in the French rooms at the National Gallery of Art. Lunch will be at either the Gallery's waterfall cafe, or at the distinguished Cosmos Club. Finally, after lunch, arrangements have been made to see the Vice President's residence with its remarkable art collection. The cost of the trip' has been estimated at $180 per person. This price includes bus fare, the hotel, meals, and honorariums. The Friends of the Gallery will also include foreign travel in their program.

Dr. Berlatski found that in colonial times the British never liked or trusted the Irish or Indians, and their attitude has not changed that much today. Dr. Berlatsky quoted C.W. Matle, an Englishman who lived in India for 30 years, as saying, "The people in the colonies are greedy, sneaky and not to be trusted." According to Dr. Berlatsky, this was "real irony when you consider it was the British who were in the colonies trying to get rich." Today the English still don't like the Indian immigrants because they feel the Indians are taking jobs I away from Englishmen. But, in fact, they are just doing the low paying work that no one else would do. While in England, Dr. Berlatsky noticed that the economy in England is in worse shape than ours. This is because England was dependent on older industries and now these industries are "going down the tubes," and the British government seems to be letting these industries slip away. The inflation went up 23 percent while Dr. Berlatsky was staying in England. He and his family were paying up to 500 dollars a month for rent and over 100 dollars a month for transportation. An example Dr. Berlatsky gave was, at McDonald's fast food restaurant in England, th~ food was twice as much as any McDonald's here. Dr. Berlatsky added that "in England you could end up paying over a dollar just for a milkshake." Circle K will sponsor a haunted house this Halloween season to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.

And, conversely, an open government is one of the staunchest protectors of the free press and of the peoples whose trust it holds. During National Newspaper Week, we honor the brilliant and determined individuals who won for the American press the freedom it enjoys in reporting and interpreting current events. We also rededicate ourselves to perpetuating, in a way that would make them proud, the great tradition they have passed on to us. And we applaud those members of our press who have consistently displayed the sensitivity, integrity, wisdom and accuracy which their profession demands. As a nation, . we recognize the extent of our dependence on our fellow citizens who gather and report the news. And we are in awe of the grave responsibility they bear as they cover events that affect the lives bf millions of Americans and the future of our country. · We believe as they do that the freedom they possess can protect the freedoms we cherish. And we look to them to exercise their freedom wisely, responsibly and with a daily awareness of the tremendous power they wield.

WILKES COLLEG E, W IL KES - BARRE , P[NN A . 1&766 When I look at the theme of National Newspaper Week, "Our F reedom Safeguards Your Freedom," I find myself saying that, in theory, the theme is a beneficial one. However, when I analyze the power of the statement, I find myself recalling instances when Their Freedom did not Safeguard our Freedom. I feel strongly that with freedom of the press, there must also ..... be responsibilityof the press. Newspapers serve a very real need to society. They tansmit news events, they uncover social injustices, they inform, they provide research, they entertain, they promote and they keep a watchful eye on events that ultimately have an effect on readers. Do they ever sensationalize to gain readership? Do they ever _misinform? Do they ever search out stories that, because of their personal beliefs, would harm others? Do they ever . use First Amemdment rights to their sole benefit? Think about it for a moment. A newspaper has impact, influence, and the ability to create trends. For the most part, newspaper editors, ·publishers and writers have not flagrantly abused these · powers, which are part of our Constitutional Rights and, in fact, contribute to the United States being a free country. If we dispute the powers of the press, whether used wisely or not, we must analyze why, in many cases, court hearings must be moved away from certain areas because of jurors prejudiced by the media - prior to the person's having been found guilty or innocent!

The presence of editorial expression does not mean that the opinion of the press is the only one or correct one. This is one instance which freedom of the press protects the citizens' right to respond. These continued freedoms depend on the understanding and cooperation of the readers. Without this, the guarantee of the First Amendment is not worth the paper it is printed on. A free press is an invaluable right which protects the news media, but most importantly, the people.

"Monty Python and The Holy Grail" stars Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and the other members of the zany Monty Python comedy group. The movie is about King Arthur's search, in a roundabout way, for the holy grail. "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" is a French film about the love affair of a French actress and a Japanese architect.

With all the complications the play was tremendously funny, but the performance of the farce left something to be desired - professionalism. The National Players, in spite of their supposedly long history of quality performances, failed to give one last Wednesday. Fortunately for them, "Charley's Aunt" is the type of play that can carry the actors if necessary. It turned out to be necessary for this performance. The amateur quality of the performance could have gone almost unnoticed, were it not for the grossly affected British accents and the all-too exaggerated acting of the performers. F'or a national company of professionals, such a performace was disappointing. Fortunately for the aduience in the CPA, however, the play itself was not disappointing, and overall, "Charley's Aunt" provided an evening of quality humor and entertainment. Mary Kay Pogar Mimes Tantalize Audience . With Hamor And Poignancy . . ' Watching the performance of "A Mime's Eye View" was a captivating and· enriching experience. Except for the awkward pitched questions of young childen curiously asking, "What are they doing?", silence surrounded the performers as they enacted such playful illusions as bubble-blowing, grape eating, and baseball pitching. These well-received episodes set the pace for other more touching ilustrations. After this warm-up with optical illusions, the performers became storytellers through the language of mime. An African fable, "Monkey Heart," Aesop's fable, "The Sun and the Wind, " and a British fable, "A Coat of Clay" were performed. The artists related these fables with the use of acetone-formed masks, which were designed and decorated by the individual who wore the mask. Besides fables, the mime artists performed short pieces which they had written such as "Pan's Last Acre" and "Balloon People." These two pieces were effectively per- Boole Rea,ieu, First Strike by Douglas Terman Intrigue, murder, an underlying love story, and a hero. All this and more compose the plot of Douglas Terman's First Strike. This spy tale revolves on the premise of a KGB master plan to shift the balance of power. This plan involves such items as electing a power-hungry U.S. senator as a Soviet puppet, copying a U.S. A-bomb, and a spy who would just as soon kill as breathe. The hero enters the scenario after being double-crossed by the master spy. This marks the start of a long-distance cha$e. As one would expect, the hero vanquishes the spy, saves tne country and wins the girl. · Terman's style is drawn out at the beginning as he gives the reader the making of the plot. His main characters of good and bad are well-detailed but minor characters receive insufficient attention. Thriller tales are not advanced to any new heights by First Strike , but neither are they lowered. It is a borderline novel. formed with background music. The music amplified the feelings of awesomeness and disillusionment of Pan saying good-bye to the last acre of life and of the little boy lung- . ing out to his parents, the balloon people. Following these pieces, the artists depicted a series of animal transformations : spiders, roosters, monkeys, and an eagle. These transformations illuminated the artist's view of likeness between animals and humans. To conclude the show, an episode called "Guess What I' m Doing" was performed. Originally acted out in the 1938 Paris Circus, this traditional act brought cheers and encores from the audience. With the experience of twentyfive years of touring, Tony Montanaro, the master mime artist, and his assistants tantalized and teased the receptive Wilkes audience, making this a unique night to remember.

Country Team Raises Record To 9-5 Thomas Lea~ing The Way For many years, the top fall sport at Wilkes has been football. But, during the past two years, the sport has changed to cross-country. In 1979, the Wilkes College crosscountry team was 13-4 and now, in 1980, they are 9-5. The thinclads picked up three big wins in a sweep last Saturday to add a bright spot to the Homecoming weekend. Victories were 22-39 over Moravian, 16-47 over Miscercordia, and 15-49 over Alvernia, who came from Reading. Ed Eppler continued his spectacular running as he and Ken Pascoe tied for first with identical times of 31: 25. Frank Rogalewicz was Moravian's top runner with a 32:56. Neal Pascoe (33 : 13) and John Supinski (33:55) followed with a 4th and 5th respectively, while .Joe Dill and Jim Bell ran close together with a 10th and 11th. Also, running for Wilkes was Mike Tsivina, 18th and Blake Ba,tterson, 23rd. A pleased Coach Righter stated, "The guys knew they had to pick up for Danny Thomas. John 'the soup is on' Supinski came into his own with a 5th. Joe Dill ran .well as 5th man as we needed him to pick up for Danny, while Ed and Ken worked each other."

Those old pitcher-lacking, fly out smacking,'ground out hacking, throat choking Phillies have finally done it. After numerous let downs and lackluster playoff series, the Philadelphia Phillies, this past Sunday, beat the Houston Astros for the National League Pennant. Although every game of this series has been charted, scored, written and re-written about, I would like to add one final comment about this barn buster of a showdown. Without a doubt, this playoff was the most exciting seriesthat has ever hit the game of baseball. Talk about two evenly matched teams, the Phillies and Astros must be carbon copies of each other the way they were playing. All five games were packed to the brim with clutch hitting, good fielding, close plays, close calls, numerous errors, good pitching as well as bad, and a lot of character and pride. Even though it is always said but rarely meant, the Houston Astros truly do not have anything to be ashamed of. They are a class organizatiqn. But how about those Phils? All my life (all twenty years of it) I have been aPhillies fan. While in grade school, I wore their colors, bought their yearbooks and fought to trade for their bubble gum cards. In high school, I. idolized the players, cut out their newspaper clippings, and literally killed for a ticket to one of their games. And just think, this was all happening while they were dead last in the Eastern Division! Through all their defeats, strike outs with bases loaded, and notorious "dumb" plays, I still loved those Phillies. I suffered through the ridicule from other team fans and daily read the standings with one eye closed. But this past Sunday was worth all of the bitter memories of the Phillies from the past. They played a tough and talented team, they played in the . opponent's stadium, they faced the fastest pitcher in the league, and yet they came up victorious. With this win, the Phils not only gained the admiration of the country, but they also eased the pain of their loyal" and "never say die" fans. A team who was mocked, criticized, laughed at, booed into oblivion and given up on time and time again finally got the last laugh on everyone. A team who supposedly had no heart, no character and no team pride really pulled together when it counted for the biggest game of their lives to date. The World Series is ahead of this team, but to tell you the truth, it really doesn't matter. I'm not saying that ·winning the World Series wouldn't be the "icing on the cake," but losing the Series wouldn't be the end of the world either. The Phils have made their mark on the sports world. Along with this mark, the Phillies have ended years of ridicule for themselves as well as their fans . A World Series win would be undescribable, but a loss would be one letdown even old Philly fans could accept. Throughout this column, I have been saying I as though I was the only Philly fan who followed the team in the same manner. Of course, this is the furthest thing from the truth, for there are numerous fans equal, if not more, Philadelphia Phillies oriented. But I decided to use the all-inclusive I because I'm sure my feelings for the Phils are not that far from most Philly ~L . I know that this column is in a college newspaper and I should try to contain my topics to college sporting events. But for a life-long Phillies fan who finally gets the opportunity to praise his favorite team in print, and deservedly I might add, I had to use my only resource. No matter what happens in the Series, "You gotta love those Phils !" "BEACON" SPORTS STAFF WORLD SERIES PREDICTIONS Dave Capin- The Phillies in seven -There's no stopping the Phillies now.

LoPresto, the captain of the offensive unit of this year's club is the· second leading ground gainer in Wilkes College history. The speedy "Pittston Piston" finished the afternoon with 140 yards on 22 carries. This performance brought LoPresto's , career rushing total to 1815, second to none other than the great Ted Yeager who finished his outstanding career with 2896 yards. LoPresto's outstanding performance has earned him the distinction of being named Beacon '' Athlete Of The Week.'' The senior Business Administration major from Pittston Pa. attributes his success to the offensive line. "I thought the offensive line did an outstanding job on Saturday. If it was not for the holes they created for me I would not have run for 40 yards let alone 140. It seems they are always overlooked, I feel they deserve much more credit than they receive. " LoPresto continued "The past two weeks we came very close to breaking into the win column for the first time of the season.

The "Beacon's" Rich Nordheim LoPresto has had an outstanding tenure at Wilkes. He was named to the all MAC team the past two years. He has an excellent chance at making it three years in a row, especially if he can duplicate this past Saturday's performance. The Pittston Area High School product stated, "Our offense has really started to work together and the young players are starting to come along. " The last point is a very important one. Granted, the team is now winless in four tries, but if the young players continue to progress, the team has a good chance to make a complete turn-around and begin to win some ball games. The team has shown a lot of character and this will prove to be an added plus for the remainder of the season. The Beacon sports staff would like to extend their congratulations to Carmen LoPresto for being named Athlete of the Week.

Hall Tallies Four Goals The Wilkes College field hockey team won its sixth straight game Saturday, sticking it to FDU Madison by a score of 7-1 at Ralston Field. Leading the scorers was Diane Hall with four goals and one assist. Earlier last week the Lady Colo~els topped Maryland 2-1 and stopped highscoring Delaware Valley 4-2. After this seaosn's slow start, the Colonelettes have improved · remarkably. " With every game that we play, the growths of inexpereinced players have been fantastic. I am really pleased with their willingness to continue to work and improve their skill level,' ' Coach Meyers said. " Everyting is coming together.'' Because of their determination, the young field hockey team has dominated its oppenents by scoring 22 points while giving up only nine this season. Although the offense, or attack, was weak in this year's opening games, it is no longer much of a problem. The leading scores have been very impressive: Name Diane Hall GeriMcAfee Pam Snyder Diane McGovern Goals Assists Points 8 5 4 2 3 5 2 4 11 10 6 ~6 Also deserving of mention are Michele Weiss (2 goals, 1 assist) , Linda Dayer (1 goal, 1 assist) , Magan Ward (2 assists) and Karen Johnson (1 assist). In the FDU Madison game, the Lady colonels' offense was awesome. With Meyers substituting freely, the charged-up Colonelette attack dominated the game, taking 27 shots on goal while the opposition was held to a meager six attempts. In addition to Hall's amazing afternoon, McGovern, McAfee and Weiss also impressed the homecoming spectators with one goal apiece. . . Against Marywood, Hall intercepted a pass, dodged a defender, then cross-passed to the left where McAfee's waiting stick promptly slapped in the score. Marywood came into the game keyed up to beat Wilkes, but the Lady Colonels buckled down and held them scoreless througout the first half. In the seocnd half, the Colonelettes dominated play, but Marywood persevered enough to tie the game 1-1 with 10 minutes remaining. Wilkes rallied, with the two cocaptains terning up for the score. Magan Ward sent a perfect drive to Pam Snyder, who scored the winning goal. Wilkes held back a final Marywood threat through the efforts of Weiss and Johnson. " The Marywood game was nice and open - good skill and good play - not the slam barn experience we had at Delaware Valley," Meyers noted. In the fastpaced Delaware Valley "experience," Wilkes scored early. With a pass from Johnson, McAfee ziped. the ball into the right corner of the net from the left top of the scoring circle. "Delware Valley never even saw it," Meyers commented. With the score tied 1-1, the second half began with the Colonelettes scoring immediately. Snyder took Weiss's pass at the top of the circle and blasted in Wilkes' second goal. Later in the game, Linda Dayer scored her first goal with a pass from McGovern. After a Delaware Valley goal, McGovern scored Wilkes' final goal with an assist from McAfee. Coach Meyers said that the game was very physical, but despite Delaware Valley's rough play, Wilkes had defeated a team that - . had scored 14 goals in five games while holding the leading scorer to only one goal. OFF THE STICK: The Colonelettes still have four games remaining and perhaps the greatest threat to their winning streak is the possiblity of a late-season letdown. Their toughest games are yet to be played, beginning at Kutzdown State on Saturday. Mark James Boaters Defeated 5-1 Carlos Ribeiro scored the only Wilkes goal, and that was about the only exciting part of the recent soccer game against Moravian. Moravian went on to score five goals, three of which were within fifteen minutes of each other. The Colonels had hoped for a resounding victory, especially since it was Homecoming, but the magic which defeated King's and Juniata was lacking. Moravian kept on beating the Colonels to the ball and harassing the defense. The game started off with both sides taking their share of good action, and for the first twenty minutes it seemed that the teams were evenly balanced. When Moravian banged their first goal in, it · was little cause for conc;ern. Even the second goal was not too dramatic, and when Ribeiro sent m the Wilkes' goal, it raised the Colonel's spirit. Sports Notice There will be a meeting in the Gym tonight at 6:38 for all those inteested in · playing Intramural · Women's Basketball or · Men's Volleyball. For more information, contact Dave Kaschak at.ext. 341. Then disaster struck. Moravian scored their third, fourth and fifth~ goals in rapid succession, dashing all hopes for a Colonels comeback. The only thing left Jo do was avoid an even more crushing loss. Goalie Bob Bruggeworth put forth a good performance, saving a number of goals and thwarting many Moravian attacks. He has had a good season thus far and saved Wilkes on many occasions. On Saturday, the Colonels travel to Elizabethtown, and on the 23rd will be hosting Allbright College.

The applications are available at the Deans' offices in Weckesser Hall, the Registrar's office in Parrish Hall, and the Housing Office in the lobby of Pickering Hall. The forms must be completed and turned in at the Deans' office before Thursday, November 20 at 4:30 p.m. The deadline was changed from October 31 to No.ember 20 because the administrators of the Who's Who pr9gram were delayed in sending the forms to the college. To be eligible for Who's Who, a student must be of senior standing and have minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0. Also, the student must demonstrate active participation in both college and community activities, and must show evidence of potential leadership. Seniors can nominate themselves by filling out an application. In addition, department chairmen and administrators have been requested to nominate students they feel are worthy of inclusion in Who's Who. Seniors may also be nominated by any other student. After the November 20 deadline, a committee headed by Dean Art Hoover will select a number of the nominees and recommend them for Who's Who. The Who's Who administrators will inform the college soon as to the exact maximum number of nominees that they will accept. Hoover related that the college will hopefully receive word from Who's Who near Christmas as to which students are accepted for Inside Enrollment Trends :p.3 this year's edition of Who's Who. Students who are selected for membership by Who's Who receive certain special privileges and benefits. Among them is the lifetime use of a reference placement service which prepares letters of recommendation and supplies biographical information to prospective employers. Members also receive a personal certificate officially honoring them as members of Who's Who. In ;iddition, they may purchase the Who's Who yearbook in which their name will appear along with the names of all the other members of Who's Who. Louis Czachor Rea//irmation 0/ Values Major Priority This Year Each year Wilkes College draws up "Institutional Priorities" for the following year. For the School Year 1980-81, a major priority is Reaffirmation of Values.According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen, the term "reaffirmation" was chosen carefully and is not something new. Dean Hartdagen commented, "We've always had a strong sense of values," but went on to say that in the past few years there hasn't been much focus on them and they have slipped. Values, in this case, range from academic honesty (not cheating or plagurizing) to respect for property National T i t l e - - - - - - - DiSCUSSion Team Wins 2nd Place Through the efforts of the awardwinning Debate Union, Wilkes College recently received notification that it has been recognized as the second top discussion school in the United States. The discussion team of the debate union captured a second place honor in the 29th Annual Discussion Contest Grand Championship Round conducted by the Southern Speech Communication Association in Birmingham, Alabama. The discussion team, under the direction of Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the Speech Division, received for their efforts an engraved and fully functional microphone. Members of the discussion team include: Norm Witko, Patti Sparlow, Darlene Schaffer and Colleen Gries. The topic of the competition was: "Should All United States Students Be Required to Pass A Standard Subject Exmination To Graduate From High School?" In (such as refraining from littering, walking on the grass, defacing property, and grounding out cigarette butts on carpets) . Values also extend beyond the campus to aspects such as common courtesy when dealing with people you meet. Dean Hartdagen emphasized the importance, and understanding the importance, of values in young peoples' lives, and would like them to reaffirm and stick by their own values. What can the College do in the sense of reaffirming values? Write a booklet? Preach? Dean Hartdagen stated that unless the whole campus accepts this issue as important and ·works together, there is very little chance of accomplishing anything. Dean Hartdagen further commented on the importance of role models-learning values and seeing their importance as observed in people you respect. If the right kind of behavior is seen in teachers and peers, it is more likely that values preliminary contest, Wilkes was judged to be one of the top three schools in the nation. The Grand Championship Round confirmed that Wilkes is on an equal level with Harvard, Yale, Bardley University, Clemson University and USC - all previous winners of the Grand Championship Round. This marks the first national title that Wilkes has secured in the area On Saturday, November 15, of group discussion.

Science Expo Set For November 15 Final Word On Phil• p. 11 Spring Registration Schedule Back Cover Mock Presidential Election Today For those of you who are not among the 22 percent undecided, the Wilkes College Political Science Club will conduct a mock presidential election on campus on election day, November 4. Ballot boxes will be set up in the lobby of Stark Learning Center and the Student Union Building where voting will take place from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and from 4:45 p.m.-6 :00 p.m. in the cafeteria. "We hope this will prevent any student from finding a legitimate excuse not to vote," remarked Joe Knox, president of the club and mastermind of the scheme. Lisa Gurka the Carter, Reagan or Anderson?-~--------------------Shakespearean Review 'p.5 will be seen and their importance recognized. The Reaffirmation of Values campaign will be approached from a broadly based system. Presentations will be delivered to SG, CC, IRHC, and residence hall meetings. Dean Hartdagen asked for total support from the students, faculty, and administration, and specifically aske<l that student help by bringing peer pressure to those who disregard these things. A team consisting of President Capin, Dean Hartdagen, Dean Hoover, Dr. Rodechko, Bill Lewis, and Ana Nunez made a presentation to the Administrative Council and to the faculty at their first meeting. Dean Hartdagen concluded that, although the whole process has not been worked out, this will not be a one year process. "It is too difficult a thing to pull of in one year's time," he comented. "We've got a long way to go." The choices on the ballot will include Carter, Reagan, Anderson, minority party candidates such as Barry Commoner and Ed Clark, and Mr. None of the Above. The ballot will also include a special separate section for the candidates in the race for the 11th Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Rafael Musto and Republican challenger Jim Nelligan. For students among the 22 percent undecided, members of the political science club will also present the basic platforms of the Democratic ana Republican parties in a debate style format in the lobby of Stark from 11-2 on Tuesday. In other business, at the club's last meeting, Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, gave a presentation on Luzerne County government. Dr. Shaw is a recognized authority on county and municipal governments. These projects are part oJ the political science club's efforts to increase a student's awareness of important political issues and· to remind them that Nov. 4 is important to the future of their country. John Finn The program is designed to help high school juniors and seniors become more aware of the natural and social science fields and the nursing program. Two new exhibitions will be added for Expo 80, sociality and anthropology. The displays are manned and presented by Wilkes students. Dr. Turoczi stated, "I am very pleased for what it does for our students." He also added that one of the big reasons that make the expos so successful is that "our students are enthusiastic, I'm very grateful for this." Students on tour will have a chance to participate in a "hands on" display. Last year between· 175 and 200 students toured Science Expo 79 and Dr. Turoczi added that the computer science display was the "big hit." Dr. Turoczi concluded by saying that when he talked to freshman science majors, they told him that "the expo was very influential on their decision to come to Wilkes."

It examines each major individually, and seeks the reasons for demand or lack of demand for that particular field of study. The figures used in this study were obtained through the Registrar's Office and other sources. As a result, the figures for the number of majors in each field each year are considered as good as any set of figures . Certain departments claim to have as many as ten or more majors in certain felds than the figures included in the chart. The difference could be accounted for by considering that students transfer from college to college, change their major, or in the case of students with no major, pick~ major. ... All of the figures in the included chart are from the fall semester of the given year. Therefore, the given figures are from the fall 1967 semester through the fall 1980 semester, our present semester. The figures, taken at face value, may be deceiving. The reader should note that the total numer of majors each year exceeds the total enrollment, This is due to double majors being counted in both departments. Also, when comparing figures from one year to the next, the reader should consider that the total enrollment changes too. As a result, a large increase in the number of majors in any one area may not seem to be as dramatic a change if the entire college enrollment has undergone a proportionally large change. On the other hand, if the number of majors increases substantially in any one area, while the entire college enrollment decreases substantially, the net change may seem very lar~. College President Robert S. Capin explained that the primary factor affecting enrollment trends is the market demand. He said, "If we analyze the demands of government and industry today, you would find that there is a demand for nurses and people who are versed in the computer." Capin continued by pointing out that number of majors in a given subject is somewhat attributable to the demands of the complex society in which we live. He added, "The point is that the professional programs that are subject to the marketplace demands rise and fall in enrollment." One area Capin examined was the education field. He noted, "Unfortunatley, because of the declining school-age population and college population, the demand for teachers has declined. However, recent literature indicates that in the next few years there will be a need for elementary school teachers." Capin stated that tied to the declining demand for teachers is a reluctance among students to elect those areas known as the humanities as majors. On a related note he added that some people question about the liberal arts designation of the college because. of the large number of professional and preprofessional programs offered. "And yet," he continued, "keep in mind that these professional programs do not stand alone." He cited nursing as an example, where only about 30 percent of the course work is in nursing and the remainder of the work is done in other areas including the liberal arts. Looking to the future, Capin noted that some situations will become even more acute., Demographics, he explained, in-dicate that there will be a decline in the traditional student population in the United States. This may cause declines in certain majors, but President Capin does not think that the declines might be as acute as some experts have predicted. Capin stated, "We are living in an environment with a limited resource allocation situation, and it behooves our every interest to do our best to plan properly and make the best alocation of resources that we possibly can to make the greatest benefit." However, he stressed, "In higher education you can't look at everything from the point of view ·of cost-benefit.

As a matter of fact, we'd be willing to b,t at least half of the students on campus don't even know their faculty advisor~s name. lt's : an irohic state. Every year in September, the Administration spends the time and money to serid out in the mail to ·incoming freshmen a card telling them the name of their advisor. Unfortunately, that is as far as if goes. The job, or alleged job, of the faculty advisor, is to help the student along in his academic matters. He is the one who is supposed to be there when the student has a problem. It's a good thing the faculty advisor of each student has to sign the student'spre-registration form or he would virtually be non-existent. Who's fault is it? It's both the student and advisor who are to blame. Most faculty advisors make little or no effort to contact the students they advise and vice-versa. As sad as it may seem, many of the so-called advisors are incompetent. This results in the student's needing to take extra credits his senior year to make up for credits he never needed in earlier years. The faculty advisor system needs a good looking over by the administration before it becomes totally forgotten. It is by far a good program because if, and we stress if, the faculty knew the required courses, it would alleviate many headaches for students in •their senior year. It should be stressed that the Administration should either stop wasting the eight-cent stamp to send out the card to each freshman' or make the faculty advisor system worth while. As it stands now. students are barely getting their eight .-cents' worth out of the program. 7 Still TIie Same. The previous editorial was found while breezing through past BEACONS; it was published on March of 1973 - over seven years ago. That amount of time seems extensive and surely enough for progress to be made concerning any particular issue. In the case of advisor-advisee relationships, it seems as though no noticeable progress has been made since 1973. All of the points addressed in "What's an Advisor?; are clearly visible today at Wilkes College. The same process is still followed: a new student receives a letter (now costing $.15, not $.08) informing them who their advisor is, and in turn, the advisor is handed a list of students whom he is resposible for guiding through four years of classes. In most cases, new students don't see their advisors until .pre-registration in November- almost two and a half months .after the start of classes. Even at this time, a student could have five bowling classes listed on his form and still obtain a signature from some advisors: Students are fortunate to have each other, in that together they can fig1_.1re out what courses to take when and even make very important decisions such as changing a major course of study. As stated, it is still a two-way street. No one individual is at fault. Either the advisor or the student must be willing to make the first step in establishing a strong relationship which must last four years. Both must realize that to open lines of communication, they must both be approachable and willing to put forth the time and effort needed to make the counseling experience worthwhile. There are no clear-cut answers to this problem but it seems that more can be done to find the answers. Student Government is currently setting up a committee to look into the problems and we hope that headway can be made soon. Art Professor A ·Willces-eQn Tradition . ~ Gives Thanks For Assistance First-timers - beware and old-timers - be warned. The mo~t frustrating time of the semester fast approaches. That of preregistration and registration. As one of the better events sponsored regularly by the college, it features several stages of progression. Step one is to find a master schedule· listing next semester's courses. The administration tells us that these hot items are available at several locations on campus well before it is time to register. These locations are either the best-kept secret in town or non-existent. If you are lucky enough to get your grubby little hands on a master schedule after trading all of your Philadelphia Phillies baseball cards for it, you can then assume the search for the long-lost advisor who must "advise" you what courses you need, what courses to take, and the difference between the two concepts. This is step two. Be warned : Advisors are like old motors - they overheat with overuse and abuse. Moreover, they are not very successful! with matching names and faces many times. It is best to go prepared with your student number, social security number and phone number, for some advisors are much better with numbers than names, despite the widespread myth about our personal one-on-one ~dvising system. You should also go prepared with a brief synopsis of your academic major and what courses are needed to graduate wih a degree in the chosen field of study. This can usually be found in the college catalogue. But again beware - you may use the requirements for the . year you entered college, the year you will graduate, or any of the years in between. so the requirements you_may wish to use may not even be published yet. This leaves a lot ofleverage when choosing courses. Confused yet? It gets better. Along with the description of your major, it is also a good idea to go prepared with a list of courses that deal with it. Although the college assigns advisors to students from their major departments, it is not a college policy that these ad-r visors be familiar in any way with departmental policies, courses or requirements. <- . • To the Editor: This past week several Wilkes students (present and past ) came into New York to help me install a · huge print exhibition. I would like to thank them--and compliment them--for their extraordinary work. They were efficient, hard working, intelligent in their handling of the artists and the works of art, and extremely good willed about the hard and complicated work. In addition, they made a tremedous impression on all who attended the exhibition as well as the Federal Agency running the Federal Building where the exhibition was installed. I am extremely grateful for their help, and would like others at the college to share my gratitude to the following students: Joe Milazzo, Barbara Metroka, Maureen Pilcavage, Lynn Taylor; graduate Michael Weida, part time student Jim Guzemski. ' Sincerely, Berenice D'Vorzon Art Dept. Letter Policy . If you haven't seen your advisor since the last time you preregistered, it might be a good idea to at least find out what he or she looks like. With office hours from 10 a.m . to 10: 15 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it shouldn't be that difficult to see an advisor. After all, 15 minutes is long enough to register properly and who wants to get to know his advisor anyway? If you are unable to track down your advisor in classes or in his or her office, despite the most advanced hun-· ting equipment, you might be more successful if you checked the TG IF parties in the Annette Evans Alumni House. (No students are allowed here, however, so you will have to be content with peering in the windows and using sign language to get your advisor's attention. ) The next biggest conglomeration of professors in in the student center between the hours of noon and 1 p.m. This might be worth a try. If, after all this, you are still unsuccessful, you can be sure that he or she has escaped the organized madness by dumping all of the advisees on an unsuspecth1g colleague and taking the first plane for Tahiti. Finally, after surviving all this, you must face the long lines at the Registrar's Office on the appointed day. Once there, however, you find out that four of five of your required courses are closed and you must get the instructor's special permission to enter them. Graduation is postponed for two years. Then you are informed that it i_s physically impossible to fit 15 credits between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. After all, it would be un-American to have an easy time at registration.! If you are successful in making it through registration without losing your temper, your advisor, your academic standing or your hair, consider yourself one of the chosen few and thank the Great Advisor in the sky for wise guidance. You can do it again . After all, it only happens twice a year. _ Halloween Party Letters to the editor are welcomed from all interested parties.

Holm's scenery provides the perfect touch to create just the right atmosphere for the play. For instance, the painted screens used for the scenes in the woods in "Midsummer Night's Dream" set the perfect mood for a fantasy . And of course, there are the actors and actresses - those whose responsibility it is to recreate the life of the play for the audience. The cast of "Midsummer Night's Dream' ' accomplished this ad• mirably.

Joining the faculty just last year, Siegfried had what one might call instant success with "Red Ryder." This past weekend, he showed that he can continue the success story. Although there were no major leads in the play, some of the actors stood out more than others for various reasons. Among the most entertaining was Frank Kren, who portrayed Nick Bottom, one of the Athenian working men. He seemed to enjoy acting out his character, causing the audience to appreciate the comical character even more. No less engaging was Chris Lonstrup as Puck, the mischievous fairy.

A senior from Dallas, PA, Bill is majoring in business adminstration and minoring in ·communcations. He hopes to attend graduate school and eventually attain a position in advertising or public relations. Being Commuter Council President enables Bill to work with and become friends with many people, which will be advantageous to him in any future goal. "Without a doubt, the most difficult problem for a Commuter Council president is parking," said Bill. When the Wilkes-Barre City Parking Authority announced the cost increase in parking stickers, Bill met with members of the Authority and had the price in! crease reduced somewhat. Still, there are other problems involved with parking, and to solve these, Bill continues to meet regularly with the Parking Authority. Oncampus parking also entails a lot of work, such as reviewing applications, issuing parking permits, etc., and this alone requires a lot of time and energy. Besides contributing his free time, Bill is very open to new ideas. He listens to the comments of other students and tries to make them a part of Commuter Council plans. Many ideas have been put into action this year. Each month, during an activity period, a coffeehouse is 1 Editor-in-Chief Patti Sparlow Managing Editor Margaret Scholl gave a convincing performance.

Everyone should go to at least one meeting to find out what we do. We'd like to hear from everybody.

He has served on the executive council for the class of 1981 for four years. He has been a student assistant in the Public Relations Office since last year and served on the Beaconstaff as a featrue writer. All of this, when added to his four years of work on Commuter Council, equals one very active Wilkes citizen.

The question which is never asked is when does defense cease to protect one's life and property and become sheer irresponsibility? Since the dawn of the nuclear age, the major nations worked relentlessly to out-arm each other's awesome arsenals. Gone are the days when generals won wars and strategy and logistics made one army better than the other. In the event o a nuclear war, it would take .o.nly 24 minutes for an ICBM launched from the heart of the Soviet Union to strike the major centers of the United States and kill more people than all previous wars combined. This also applies vice versa. Depsite what politicians on both sides wuld have their civiliams believe, none of the belligerants in an all-out nuclear war between NATO and the Warsaw pact would emerge a clear winner. Only the most important people, the politicians and others, would survive. This conclusion needs little thought. 24 minutes is simply not long enough for any nation to put its civilians in bomb shelters or to take steps to ensure their survival. It was in recognition of this fact that SALT I and II were drawn up. What both these treaties in effect said was that both sides should take steps to ensure that the destruction of an all-out nuclear war would be limited to what it could be at the time of the drawing up of these treaties. More interestingly, both signatories of the treaty made pledges not to develop weapons which would prevent each other's ICBM's from reaching their targets. These targets are industrial and population centers, and the victims would not be military personnel, but rather, civilians. Then there is the question of effect. An all-out nuclear war would affect people who are fa r removed from both the belligerents and the issues they are fighti ng over. A peasant on his farm in India, Africa or Australia would be affected by a war he happens to know nothin about. In short, a full scale war between the East and .West would, in effect, be fought not only on the soil of those involved, but all over the globe. This is not only morally objectionable, but a cause of great concern to the people of the nations who do not fall in the NATO or Warsaw Pact Bloc, and it is also irresponsible. Those who advocate an arms race with a renewed and faster pace are also, ironically, those who will complain about the presence of a nuclear reactor five miles from their homes. This seems to be inconsistent with good reasoning. The time now is not for working towards the destruction of each other for the abstract reasons of ideology, political systems and differences of opinion on issues of secondary importance. Surely human life is of greater value than politics and ideology, and surely nations can reach peaceful resolutions of the issues of conflict with a little more effort and tolerance. At this stage, man can hardly afford to continue with the accumulation of weapons for mutual destruction. The efforts and money spent on these could be put to better use. Anthony D. Sibiya Fuller To Present Demonstration Former major league baseball player Hank Aaron will appear at the college gymnasium on Wednesday, November 5 at 8 p.m. In 1974, Aaron made baseball history when he hit career homerun number 715 to break Babe Ruth's long-standing record of 714. Hank Aaron was born in 1934 in Mobile, Alabama, one of eight children. He was interested in sports from the beg inning and decided to co ncentrate on baseball at the age of 11. Even back then he told his mother, "Some day, I'll be in the big leagues." His high school did not have a baseball team, so he played softball during the summer and football during the school year, becoming an all-star running back. When he was a junior in high school, he played semi-pro baseball for the Mobile Black Bears. After playing semi-pro ball for a few years, Aaron received an offer from the Braves at the age of 18. At the end of the season, he was named Rookie of the Year. He was named the Braves' MVP in 1954, and again in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1967 and 1971. In 1970 he became the first player to compile both 3 000 hits and more than 500 home r~ns. He is also one of only five players to ever hit more than 30 homeruns and steal 30 bases in one season. In 1957, Aaron was honored as the National League's MVP and as Player of the Year by Sporting Newsin 1956 and 1963. He holds 18 major-league records. He left the Braves in 1975 and finished his career in the American League with the Milwaukee Brewers. He retired from baseball at the end of the 1976 season. Uof p Peychologi•trQOr..,...,...o--...o-xMary Kay Says:o--..r..r..r..cr✓-=-"'..r...c1 ToAppearAtCPA . -, • S Dr. Martin Seligman, Professor Psychology at the University of Pennsylania, will lecture on "Learned Helplessness" at the CPA on October 30 at 8 p.m. Seligman received his doctorate degree from the UniversitY, of Pen-. nsylvania. He began to work on the problems of helplessness, chronic fear and depression while he worked as an investigator for the National Institute of Mental Health. Since 1971 he has continued to study depression and learned helplessness for the National Institute and for the National Science Foundation. "Learned Helplessness" is a condition which has been studied extensively by Dr. Seligman. In laboratory experiments conducted in the 1960's Seligman treated dogs with electric shock, and discovered that the dogs would learn to accept their environment. According to Seligman, the animals would "learn to be helpless." Seligman then attempted to apply this theory to describe the human condition of depression. He described people in a depressed state as believing they are helpless. But he felt that the person could come out of the depressed state if he or she could avoid the helpless feeling. The depressed person is forced to participate in' activites that would prevent feelings of helplessness. Seligman's work helped lead to the development of Directive Therapy in psychology. ~~~~~~~~~~.-.0~,._..~,._..~~~~ ....... ~ What s Happen, ng §§ 001'"....c,o,"'..r..cr~..r..cc,-..o"'..r..r..cr~ ✓ ..o--..r..ocr..r...oco--..r~..o'"..r..-1?

Student Center Director Mike Canonico noted, "I think we're going to see a sharp drop off of Student Center parties because of the new policy." When the Board offered the possibility of sellin'g tickets at the door as a solution, Dean Art Hoover related that this issue had already been referred to Dean George Ralston. Also concerning Student Center parties, the Board discussed the issue of paying for security. It was related that whoever sponsors the party pays security, usually out ·of the ticket money and not white card money. The possibility of organizing a central security pool through InterResidence Hall Council, Commuter Council and Student Center Board was brought up. It was 11ecided to check with -Mr. Richard Raspen in the Financial Aid office before anything definite is worked out. Joe Knox of CC noted that Dean Andrew Shaw had suggested to him the CC move its office to the Student Center. Knox made arrangements with Canonico to check out this possibility. Concerning the Student Center building itself, Canonico noted that the broken shades will be fixed and that the alarm system for the stereo should be installed very soon. Canonico also mentioned that now pending in the state congress is legislation which, if passed, would allow three story buildings to use smoke alarms rather than sprinkler systems. He said that if the legislation passed, the Student Center's third floor, which is now unused, could employ smoke alarms and be opened. Canonico made a special note of two students who spent their summer building speakers for the Student Center. Specifying that "this is a special situation," and "there is no precedent set~here, " Canonico asked the Board to provide some monetary compensation for the two students, Dan Miner and Jim Kupar. The Board agreed, and decided on the amount. On a final note, Dean Hoover suggested that the Board purchase a few folding ping-pong tables for the basement of the Student Center. The Board agreed that they could afford the tables, . which could be moved out of the way for parties. Elaine Czachor W .A.A.

TOR is also planning a fashion show to be held on November 6, 1980 at 7 p.m. in the community room of Pomeroy's in the Wyoming Valley Mall. The show will feature 16 Wilkes girls modeling winter clothes. Tickets will go on sale in the STudent Center and the cafeteria a week and a half prior to the show. Tickets will also be available from any TDR member and at the door. · Maurita explained that she thought that many students on campus have misconceptions concerning TDR. She asserted that TDRis "not a co1.1muter sosority," and that residence hall students are more than welcome. She pointed out that memberhsip is still open, and that there is no hazing involved in TOR. Dues are five dollars for the entire year, which she feels is nominal compared to the fees charged by other college sororities. The only requirement for membership is that a girl attain seven points. Girls can obtain points by serving on different committees. Gries stated that this is easy to do, and many girls have their seven . points already.

TDR is active in the community work with the Red Cross and the American Heart Asociation. The sosority also works with the college administration and alumni. Maurita mentioned a tentative spring fashion show to be presented in conujunction with the King's College soririyt. other possibilities for future events include make-up and hair styling demonstrations. Elaine Czachor Enrollment Trends Continued from page 3. jor offered through that department. In addition, he is questioned about job placement records and graduate school placement. The chairman is also asked about what makes his department attractive to students, and what incentives exist that encourage students to major in a certain field. The chairman is also asked how the department could be made more attractive to students. Part 2 of the series will deal with certain areas determined to be special cases because of their enrollment trends. This week the departments which will be examined include the education department, language and literature department, matllematics and computer science department, and the undeclared or undecided major. In the coming weeks, departments with increasing number of majors, departments with decreasing numbers of majors, and departments with neither increasing nor decreasing numbers of majors will be examined. �:tr-~--~--------;_---,.

Rich Nordheim -• �Page 10, The Beacon, October 30, 1980 Athlete Of The Week October30 The cross country team of coach Ron Righter has had an outstanding year so far compiling a 14-5 record. A major contributor to the team's success has been senior Ed Eppler .who is always among the top finishers. Iri a recent meet against Allentown College, Eppler broke the course record at Allentown with a time of 28.22 for the five mile course. This time shattered the previous mark by 11 seconds which was held by King's College great Frank Awanya. Since there was noBEACONpublication last week due to fall break, Eppler has been named Athlete of the Week for the week of October 20. The record breaking performance at Allentown is only one of the many outstanding performances turned in by the CoCaptain from Washington, New Jersey. In a meet against Susquehanna University on October 21, he finished second with a time of 31.18 for the 5.25 mile .l{irby Park course. Coach Righter felt this was a tremendous victory by the Harriers since last year they were upset by a mediocre Susquehanna team: Righter went on to say, "Ed · epitomizes the athlete who gives everything of his being. He is totally committed to running, and has excellent training habits. Ed is a leader by example, and the younger kids look up to him a great deal." Ed not only runs with the team .at 3: 00 every afternoon, he also can be seen running early in the morning and late at night to maintain the competitive edge. In summing up the season as a whole thus far, Eppler stated, "In the beginning of the season I set high goals for myself and for the volleyball Team MakesMAC's Soccer Team 'Slips' Into 2-8-1 llecord The long strived for goal-to attend the MAC's-has been achieved by the Wilkes Women's volleyball team. The team downed Baptist Bible on Tuesday, October 21, in three quick games then travelled to Susquehanna where they fell to defeat in five hard fought games. The team showed impressive skill during the Susquehanna match with a total of four aces and seventeen non-returnable serves. · Though downed by Susquehanna, the team knew that if they and Scranton defeated FDU Mdison on Saturday, October 25, they would still be able to attend MAC'S. On Saturday, the team was psyched and prepared to defeat FDU. The momentum and spitit were high as the members played together as a unit to capture the win.

Ed Eppler Hurlers' Hopes Of MAC Playoff Spot Vanis la Wilkes College will be hosting this year's Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament at Ralston Field Saturday and Sunday. In all, 12 teams will be competing for the team championship; and onehundred individuals will be competing for 33 spots in this first round of all star play. This competition is important to the Lady Colonels; it is their last opportunity to continue in post season play. One prospective allstar, Diane Hall, leads the MAC conference ·in scoring with 8 goals and 2 assists. The young field hockey team has experienced some depressing growing pains in the past two weeks. Their dream season began turning into a nightmare when they lost a six game winning streak in a 2-2 tie against Lycoming, a weak team. Two Saturdays ago, the Wilkes hurlers were knocked out by Kutztown State, 5-1 ; and last Wednesday, they were silenced by Susquehanna University, 3-1. . Scoring for Wilkes was Mitch Weiss, through a Megan Ward assist, and Diane Hall unassisted in the Lycoming game. The lone scorer against Kutztown and Susquehanna was Pam Snyder. She scored through a Geri McAfee assist in the former, and scored on a penalty stroke in the latter game. Although the Lady Colonels appeared to be a very strong team in this season's onset, lately they've proven that they are still a rebuilding team. Since the last edition of The Beacon, the Colonelettes' record dropped to 6-3-2; their hopes of post season play in either the MAC playoffs or the Regional tournament dissolved; and their competition in the next two games will be very stiff. The results of yesterday's game against Bucknell were not available at press time; but in any case, Wilkes probably had a fairly tough time against the strong Division II team. Next Wednesday, the Colonelettes take on another Division II team, Lafyette, at home to close the season. Against Lycoming, the Colonelettes began their slump when they lost a 2-1 lead early in the second half. With the help of goalie Robyn Wert's 15 saves, the Lycoming defense continually stopped Wilkes' drives. " We never should have tied that game. If we played the second half the. way we played the first, we would have scored again and again! ':Coach Gay Meyers exclaimed. Meyers was visably upset after the Lycoming game, but the Kutztown loss was probably the greatest letdown. "The game was the perfect climax to the week ; we had a horrible week of practice and followed it with very poor play," said Meyers. " It was the worst we played all season." In the Susquehanna game, it became apparent that the Lady Colonels young defense had a lot to learn. Susquehanna scored early ; and although Wilkes eventually tied the score, they could not move the ball well and their defense seemed unorganized and hesitant. OFF THE STICK : The Colonelettes were a surprise team for most of the season, even to Meyers. "I knew this was a rebuilding year ... but when they started to come on so well early, I thought we might be ready for the hardest part _ofthe season, but it just hasn't happened. " · -· Unfortunately, even if the Wilkes hurlers had continued their winning streak, it would have meant little in terms of a MAC championship. The University of Scranton team that beat Wilkes early this season, continued winning against MAC ~on- ference opponents. This is the first time in the conferences' three year history that the Lady Colonels were not champions. Mark James dies, and there were a few accidents. Goalie Scot Rudolph got kicked on the forehead in a scrabble for the ball and Carlos Ribiero at right wing hurt his leg in a collision. Susquehanna scored six goals, two in the first half, bringing the Colonels record to two wins, one draw and eight losses. Coach Ernesto Lopez had only 14 men to field while the opponents had well over 20 and took advantage of the fact, substituting at every opportunity and maintaining a fresh team at all times. With the season almost over, the best Wilkes can achieve is a five win record, assuming wins in all the remaining games. So far the tendency has been the opposite, and all that can be done is wait for the next season and hope for better luck. Anthony D.

After a few tough games with the Expos and Mets, the Phils ended April with a 6-9 slate. May saw Steve "Lefty" Carlton take the major league lead in wins and strikeouts and the Phillies have their best month of the years as they ended May with a 17-9 record. June was a .500 month for the Phils as they ended the month's schedule with a 14-.14 tally . The month did have positive note, though. It witnessed rookie Bob I.Valk pick up his first majot· league win over the Chicago Cubs whic h proved to be the start of " good things to come." The Phillies found themselves three games out and in third place when they finished July with a 15-14 record.

One Vote Material Policy One man-one vote. This is the principle on which the American democratic process is built. Unfortunatley, voter apathy has run rampant in the country lately, with voter turnout at a new low. · Did you make your vote count on election day? If you're like a large percentage of the citizens, probably not. It is a tragedy that every election year that hundreds of thousands of eligible voters do not turn out at the polls to make their voice heard. Each election, however, is critical in assisting the voter to maintain his or her personal freedoms for it is the people who vest power in office ho1ders-not the other way around. The inherent danger of smaller and smaller percentages of voter turnout is that fewer and fewer people are running the government. The one man-one vote principle Is tutning into three men-one vote. "Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all1he people, " said Theodore Parker on July 4, 1858 when defining democracy. His answer is timeless for without all the people a democracy breaks down and ultimately ceases to exist. The usual feeling of voters is that one vote does not make a difference. History tells us otherwise, however. One vote, is, in fact, important. Consider the following instances: -One vote caused Charles I of England to be executed in 1649. -In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. -One vote gave Hitler the leadership of the Nazi Party in 1923. -In 1941, one vote saved the selective service-just weeks before Pearl Harbor. · -One vote could have made a difference in the majority control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1978 because of a tie vote for one seat in the 91st district. When officials are elected to office, it is both the voter and non-voter who either suffer or benefit. If you didn't make your voice heard on election day, after the fact destructive criticism is useless. As you can see, one vote does make a difference.

To the Editor, Students of Wilkes, and the Academic Standards Committee: I was appalled by the attitudes exhibited by the members of the student government with regard to the proposal by the Academic Standards Commmittee to change the minimum grade-point average. It is high time that this school raised its standards and joined the mainstream of institutes of higher education. The standards proposal is eminently fair and de rigeur at most colleges and universities, large or ~mall. The comment by SG Vice President Marla Brodsky is most regrettable. Indeed we are not an Ivy League school and cannot profess to be, but we can and we must strive for academic excellence. It is not a matter of league, size, or. category. Little Hampden-Sydney in Farmville, Virginia has a student body of less than 1,500 students and maintains-rigid standards. Harvey Mudd College, with approximatley the same student population or less, has entrance standards among the toughest in the country. One could go on. In short there is a myriad of small colleges and universities that maintain top academic -standards. Why should Wilkes be any different? If one expects to compete in the world today, he or she will have· to be well-trained. Raising the academic standards and requirements at Wilkes would inevitably result in a better trained student body and in a college more highly regarded in academic circles. This would help all the graduates of Wilkes College. The feeling that "most of the SG representatives expressed" with regard to the standards being hard on freshman is also regrettable. College is not supposed to be easy. While it is unfortunate that SAT scores have been steadily declining for the last thirteen years and that secondary education has been following the same general trend, it. is not the duty of any college to teach the rudiments of education to its students. They are supposed to be equipped with those skills when they matriculate. This school does have a program for those who are not prepared, ACT 101. I do not particularly approve of that program because it is open to abuse and does not serve to raise the- academic prestige of the school. The freshmen who belong in college will get through and, in many cases, excel. It is not the -duty of the SG upperclassmen to worry about themthey will do well. In conclusion I must say that I sincerely hope the Academic Standards Committee will follow through with their proposal for it can only have a positive effect on this institution. If the question rests on the issue of finance or economics, the heightened academic prestige _will surely draw more students to our cmapus. Please do not .lose the opportunity that now presents itself. Sincerely, James D. Watkinson Vice President, Omega Iota Wilkes College Charter of Phi Alpha Theta The National Honor Society-History �November 6, 1980, The Beacon, Page 5 IRHC President ............................................ . Tucke r Adjusts To Wilkes "You start . out being a nobody,and then you get more and more involved in something, sothere is no way you can turn back - you're always finding new things Coach Thanks Beacon Writer to do." This is how J anine Tucker, Inter-Residence Hall Council President, describes her experiences in IRHC since she transferred to Wilkes last year. It is a perfect description of Janine's development from a relatively unknown student to president on one of the three most important organizations on campus. To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the staf of the Beacon for their coverage of the Womens' Tennis Team this past season. I would like to especially thank Bob Buschbaum not only for his coverage of our matches, but also for his interest in the team and his generosity in giving us the use of his ball 1nachine for our practices. There were many people who helped make my first year as coach an enjoyable one, Including, Mrs. Doris Saracino, Mrs. Gay Meyers, my two co-captains, Deb Welliver and Peggy Mascelli, and the re st of the women on the team. I would also like to thank Barry Spevak for his assistance, and Mr. John Bubblo and Mr. Dan Keating for th~ir time and expertise. The willingness of all these people to offer me their time and assistance made my job a little easier. Thanks to all of you. Sincerely, Nancy Snee The business administration major transferred from Roane State Community College In Tennessee to Wilkes just last fall. Transferring to a new school is not easy for anyone, for It involves an adjust~ent to new situations and new people. Since Janine had been a commuter at Roane State and became a residence hall student at Wilkes, STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION she make to make an even greater adjustment. Although she encountered some problems at first, she was successful in adjusting to the new situations. Janine decided to become involved in IRHC (then Inter Dormitory Council) and was the representative for the Hotel Women her first semester here. She enjoyed her involvement in IDC sufficiently to continue as a rep in the spring, this time for Weiss Hall, the residence hall into which she has since moved. For Janine, IDC offered the ~ rfect opportunity to become involved in campus activitfes. As she says, "It really put me in touch with things that were going on - and it gave me a chance to meet new people." Being one of the more enthusiastic and outspoken reps last year, she was appointed chairperson of the CC-IDC Pajama Party last spring. She handled this successfully, so that when the time for nominations of IDC officers ap:proached, last year's president, Mike Stapleton, encouraged Janine to run for president. She decided to follow Mike's suggesstion, because, as she saw it, the presidency of the Council offered an . opportunity Janine had not yet explored. She felt it would also give her a chance to work for the students and represent them more effectively. Being IRHC president has involved Janine In different areas and as she has commented, "It has really opened up my eyes." One thing that What's Happening C~NCELLED...

However, students have to take the initiative to get to know the administration. The IRHC president feels that everything is working well this year, because everyone is working together. She attributes some of this cooperation to the fact that she and some of the other officers attended a convention for residence hall councils this summer. According to Janine, this convention provided the IRHC officers with a chance to get to know one another better. This has helped them to work together this year. The reps are also working • · together well this · year. Absenteeism is not a problem as it had been In other years. Janine stated that a lot of people are going to the meetings, and "they say they enjoy the meetings - they say the find out a lot of Information.'' Activities that are planned with Commuter Council are also going well. Janine said, " It is good .to work together· and Bill Miller (CC .President) is doing an excellent job." Although joint CC-IRHC activities are very successsful, Janine feels that it would also be good for ·CC and IRHC to work separately in some cases, since "each group has different needs." This year, Janine hopes to plan some .activities _for students during National Residence Hall Week. Being a junior, Janine• still has another year at Wilkes. It will be interesting to see Into which channels her enthusiasm will be directed. Mary Kay Pogar WONDER-fat Album Review There are seven naiural wonders existing in the world today, and then there Is Stevie Wonder. The 8th Wonder is out with a new albuin entitled HOTTER THAN JULY. This new album, unlike THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, takes Stevie Wonder back to his natural style of music, which Includes the albums, SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE and INTERVISIONS. HOTTER THAN JULY includes various types of beats· like Disco, Soul, Ballads and Reggae. · The .slowly growing reggae beat on Wonder's new release Is heard throughout the songs HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and the current number Top 40 smash, MASTER BLASTER (JAMIN) . This tune has a hard driving discoreggae beat and when first listened to, could be taken for Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh or Third World. The difference somes out when Stevie Wonder's vocals take command. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, along with the sleeve or jacket from the album, are a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. HOTTER THAN JULY is a mixture of wonderful melodies, lyrics and love songs. AS IF YOU READ MY MIND and ALL I DO give the album a good balance and may be the best love songs Stevie Wonder has ever written. The use of horns, synthesizers and percussion make these tunes just that much better. They were given the touch of a master, the touch of Wonder. Right now, Stevie Wonder's HOTTER THAN JULY is not on the charts, but I can bet within the nest three or four weeks, it will be in the Top 10. Overall, the album is purely Wonderful, but may not be as well-received as some of his other material. My predictions are the album will hit the Top 5 . and MASTER BLASTER (J.AMIN ) will also be Top 5 material. If you like Stevie Wonder, you must pick up HOTTER THAN JULY because it is an integ:al part of a legendary musical collection. If you are a Top 40 listener, buy only the 45 rpm because it has a 4:29 version of MASTER BLASTER (JAMIN) and a dubbed version of the same tune. HOTTER THAN JULY is not for everyone, but it's a WONDER ; Stevie, that is. - JIM McCABE �Page 6, The Beacon, November 6, 1980 Performances Set For November 7 & 8---------------------------------------------- U ~ i q U e Drama Workshop At CPA This Week I have often sat in the audience or a particularly good play and thought to myself, "I wish I could be up there with those actors and actresses ...they look like they are having so much fun ... hey! that doesn't look too difficult ; maybe I could act..." The magic of the actors draws me to the stage. I want to become more involved; to be more than just an observer. Well, on Friday, November" and Saturday, November 8, I and everyone who comes to the Center for Performing Arts theatre at 8:00 p.m. will become more "involved" in a play than we have probably ever been. Imagine sitting right on the stage as the play is being performed; imagine being so close to the actors and· actresses that you' can almost touch them! "Landscapes U.S.A." is the title of this unique drama workshop that will be performed this weekend in the CPA. Michael O'Neill, the new theatre and English professor at Wilkes, produced and directed six very different plays and put them together to form his unusual "potpouri" of drama. The plays range from " theatre of the absurd" and improvisational theatre to stark realism. I spoke to Michael Sunday, while the plays were still in rehearsal. "I see this workshop as an experiment, for the audience as well as the actors and actresses. I have been experimenting and working with the plays all during the rehearsal period; some ideas have succeded, others have failed and been rejected. By Friday night the plays will be ready for an audience to react to them," he commented. Michael believes the audience is a very important part of the workshop. A normal audience is usually passive, .but in Michael's plays they will be active. How can you help but become· involved in a play when it's two feet away from you? The audience will not be involved physically, but they should feel a strong emotional reaction from and for the actors and actresses. About one month ago, Michael distributed flyers around the campus advertising this drama workshop. The workshop appealed to theatre and non-theatre majors alike, and around 25 people showed up for auditions. There was no pressure of a regular audition ; nobody worried about getting a part because everyone was cast ! After Michael saw the talent he had to work with, he then chose the six plays. They are all written by American authors who offer their notion of the U.S.A. today. " Next" is written by Terence McNally and " Calm Down Mother" by Megan Terry, an American woman playwright. The other four plays to be performed are: "The Indian Wants the Bronx" written by Israel Horowitz, "Hello from Bertha" by Tenessee Williams, "The Lonely Machine" by Jules Fieffer, and "The American Dream" authored by Edward Albee. There is no central theme connecting these plays. Their purpose is to offer diverse types of acting for the performers and unique entertainment for their audience. For example, "Calm Down Mother" is an "avant-garde" unconventional play which deals primarily with movement and sound .and does not use elaborate costumes or makeup. It is still very demanding, however, for each of the three actresses has to play 4 different roles in the 20 minutes that the play is performed. "The Indian Wants the Bronx" is a realistic play, and in contrast with the previous one, its main theme is violence and lack of communication. It involves two street thugs who terrorize an Indian in New York City. There are three actors involved in this play. One is a theatre arts major, one has acted in one play at Wilkes and one has never performed in Wilkes' theatre. I hope this article has sparked your interest and will make you want to come to " Landscapes U.S.A. " If you do come, be prepared to become involved and move around on stage. You will be met at the door by an actor or an actress, then he or she will hand you a chair and a road map. The road map will lead you to the part of the stage where each individual play is being performed. Each of the six plays ranges in length from 15 to 45 minutes. After the end of each one you will pick up Masterworks Chorale To Open Season The Masterworks Chorale of Northeastern Pennsylvania, conducted by Dr. Terrance Anderson, will open its new concert season with a performance of two dramatic works by 20th century Italian composers - ' Ottorino Respighi's "Laud to the Nativity" and Gian Carol Menotti's "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore." The concert will be held Monday evening, Nov. 10, at 8:15 p.m. in the First Baptist Church of WilkesBarre, 48 S. River St. Soloists for the concert will be · Patricia Anderson, soprano ; Evelyn Brabant, mezzo-soprano ; Timothy VanderVeld and Raymond Smith, tenors. Both compositions will be accompanied by an ensem. ble of chamber instrumentalists. , Respighi's "Laud to the Nativity" attempts, to recreate the late 16th century tradition of dramatically telling a biblical story to the congregation of listeners. Sometimes, static scenery and costumes were used. The cast in this instance is comprised of thE' Work 0/.Aerobatic Artist At The Sordoni Art Galle "If the reality you've made is less than the reality you've experienced, you have not made art, but have compromised yourself." So states Steve Poleskie, aerobatic artist, concerning his feelings about the creation of a work of art. How Poleskie views art is important in understanding his work, which is rather unusual. Poleskie creates· art by performing, rather than by making a tangible product of his activity. To do his work,J1e uses an aerobatic biplane (one suited for performing stuntsH to track an object in space. Before he does a performance, Poleskie makes plans for the event by drawing out plans in an illusionistic manner, and then translating the drawings to a schematic drawing which he carries with him in the cockpit. The aerobtic artist uses smoke to give his patterns greater clarity, but the smoke is not used with the intention of creating a more permanent work of art. In this form of art, the airplane is the object, and the smoke it trails is merely an aid in the tracking of such designs as loops and spirals. However, it is not the product of the performance, but the performance itself that is the art. Poleskie acknowledges that his work does not result in a tangible product, but the experience of the audience viewing the performance. is more imiprotant. The artists's work can be seen from all sides and at a variety of distances so that, as Poleskie says, "the pieces do not have one existence but many. " Therefore, no two people observe the event in exactly the same way. A collection of collages representative of Poleskie's performance art is currently being exhibited at the Sordoni Art Gallery until November 9. These collages include maps, air-to-ground communication documents, pictures and some .,. . r ~ '11it EXHIBIT - ..:,.,_· .· , ,.. , The work of Steve Poleskie, aerobatic artist, is currently being displayed at the Sordoni Art Gallery.

Poleskie is a native of Pringle, Pa., and earned his B.S. degree from Wilkes. Later, he moved to New York and studied at the New School for Social Research. Several ~ years later, he taught at the School for Visual Arts in New York City. In 1968, he began teaching at Cornell University in New York, where he ~ has remained.

Remember, you as the audience will be very close to the performers. This will present quite a challenge to them as they attempt to create the illusion of their character and entertain you. Unlike a conventional performance, the audience will get the opportunity to see the actor's facial expressions and gestures up close. It sounds positively fascinating to me. I hope to see you there! Oh, and one more thing. Michael O'Neill told me that the plays won't be totally finished, even after the performances this weekend. Long after the audience goes home Saturday night, Michael and his workshop actors and actresses will still be molding, shaping and improvising their six unusual plays. They believe theatre is a "dynamic organism,'' constantly growing and changing. Hmmm, very in- · teresting... perhaps we will get to see them again next semester. J{oya Fahm, Nae;'~ "-~ Angel, the Virgin Mary, the Shepherd and a chorus of Angels and Sheherds. "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore" is a madrigal fable for chorus, 10 dancers and nine instruments. In this concert version, the ballet will not be used. Menotti wrote his own libretto. Through a highly expressive declamatio_n of the words, he creates a world rich in medieval atmosphere, yet taut with a sense of action, and vivid with subtlety of characterization. An intensely realistic view of life can be found in this madrigal fable, through the Man in the Castle. He is considered strange for his "lifestyle" is contrary to the status quo, which has been determined by the plastic values of the Townsfolk . Tickets can be purchased before the concert, or from membe,rs .of the Chorale. They can also be reserved by calling the Wilkes College Theatre Department of Music, 824-4651, ext. 355.

Juniors working toward careers in magazine journalism are invited to apply for the 15th annual Magazine Internship Program, sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME ) with a grant from · the Magazine • Publishers Association (MPA ). Interns will spend the summer of 1981-from June 9 to August 21- on individual assignment to the editorial staffs of participating consumer magazines and business publications in New York City and elsewhere. They also will have the opportunity to meet with ,a variety of magazine executives, editors and writers for informal weekly discussions on magazine editing and publishing.

Board Reports Vandalism A prominent topic discussed at last week's Student Center Board meeting was that of vandalism. It was reported that two floor lamps, a few -end tables and numerous pillows were missing from the Student Center. Also, some wire nuts, which had to be replaced after being stolen a few weeks ago, were reported to be gone again. Student Center Director Mike Canonico asked, "What is wrong with these people?" Commenting on the problem, Dean Art Hoover advised that "the people on duty have to circulate a little more." The Board agreed that the scoreboards put up in the gamerooms to prevent students from writing game records on the walls have been effective. It was mentioned, though, that students are still bringing food upstairs, even though this is not allowed. Canonico announced that the COPUS office and Careers office have moved into the second floor of the Student Center. It was suggested that the Student Center be' used for a Casino night to benefit charity. Student Government President Joe Galli interjected that Bedford Hall had already inquired about this. The Board speculated that they could work with Bedford in this event.. The alarm system for the stereo will not be installed for another week due to complications. When the· Bo~rd discussed where to put the speakers for the stereo, Assistant Director John Moffatt proposed that putting some speakers in the basement "might be an inducement to get people down into the basement. " There was a debate on whether or not to equip the second floor with speakers. Supporting music for all floors, Dean Hoover asserted, "The original intent (of the stereo system ) was to make the music available, and Cthink we have a commitment to follow through with it. " The Board disclosed upcoming events in the Student Center. The next Student Center party will be Friday, November 7, and the next Commuter Council coffee house will take place on Thursday, November 6, from 11-1. There will be a chess torunament held in the Center on Saturday, November 15 from 9:-9 and on Sunday, November 16, from 10-8. Regarding these events, Dean Hoover stated, "I think that it's good that there are a lot of these unusual requests coming in for the u~ of the Student Center."

These are all small examples of stressful situations that each college student faces or has faced at sometim~duringlife. According to foseph ~. Kanner, Director of Testl:Ilg Services for the college and AdJunct Professor of Psychology, stress is any coI?-dition that produces enough tens10n or ~ iety to ~nt~rfere with one's effic1ent functiorung. In fact, excesses can lead to physical illness, overwrought fears and the inability to concentrate or function proper!)'.. Stress keys up the body and mmd. K~er said that peopl~ tend ~o think of stress as negative. It 1s re~y a neutral force which !lloti~a~ us throu~ the day. Dealmg with it properly 1s the key to surviva!. ., The student who is under stress and has not yet learned how to deal with it effectively can ~ome so overwhelmed by frustrations and fears that he becomes preoccupied with it. One way to deal with everyday stress is to talk to yourself, stated Kanner. This works especially well in ancontrollable or unchangeable situations. "You raise your consciousness to what's happening around you, " he added. Excessive stress can lead to hostility and built up anger which is uslially manifested in destructive acts such as vandalism, excessive drinking and drug abuse. "When you see a lo! of .vandali.sm,,, you know somethmg 1s cooking, he said. A person has to be angry !nough to be destructive. Anger produces tension, which can lead to intense insomnia and loss of concentration span. The stress related to academic performance is most often linked to poor study habits. "You have to set your priorities for the long term and then h~g .on. to .the111," he stated..Self-disc1phne 1s a must. Crammmg for an exam places extra pressure on the student to perform well, . bu! it is this same pressure which lllSures that the student will work fa~ beneath his or her greatest potential. A change of major is another source of stress. This, Kanner stated, ma_Jces a student feel. in~dequate at times because their first choice was wrong. " If it's not good for you, then get out of a major before it g~ts you,:• he advised. "Go b)'. the ~eeh.ng. If it feels good, then stick with it. If not, get out of the courses." Additionally, certain types of stress can be brought to school from outside sources. Social, i:i:eer, and sexual pressures combmed with family ·problems are all contributing factors to extreme stress. The best solution in this situation is to seek help. " Don't wait till a problem blows your mind," he said. "Talk about it. Seek professional advice." He stated that about 90 percent of the cases can be solved with proper help. Kanner estimates that approximately 30 to 40 percent of all college students experience severe stress at ont time or anottier.. "Many never even talk about it," he s~id. As the Director of Testing Services for the college, Kanner counsels about 300 to 400 students per year. ;-Th-;;;-a~7ti;ssttii'aiia7nistrinnguiiiesloi·- - - -- - - - - - - 1 college students who are being pressured and I 11challenged as never before.

From a student's responses Kanner can usually tell what a stu: dent's problem entails. "This helps students admit their problem " he said. "The biggest problem students have is that they can't verbalize their problems well. This test allows them to see it written down." This is not the only source of information for the counselor. Confidential interviews and a battery of other tests assist in the definition of the problem. Kanner stressed that all test results are confidential. "We even need the permission of the student to release results to his parents," he stated. He continued that careful planning will minimize losing control over events and developing a feeling of helplessness. Prevention is the best rule however. ~ Students ~hould seek assistance from the properly trained personnel in verifying the validity of educational and occupational choices, and the level of achievement needed to successfully pursue and complete an educational program. Also Kanner advised to prepare for~ career not merely a "job" when planning a college major. 10% He believes that most stresses in college can be minimized or resolved if assistance is obtained before the problem is irreversible. ••A 1' · source of help on campus is right THIS COUPON . here (the Testing Service Rear 34 S.

Although the Monarchs proved to be a strong opponent, the Colonelettes captured the victory 15-9, 15-12 and 16-14. Mary Kay Price served one ace and six non-returnable serves and had 13 successful spikes to lead the team in total points. Cindy Rossi followed with 11 spikes. The gym was tense as both teams worked hard with Jong volleys to capture the game point in the third game, which was finally won by the Colonelettes through good team effort. The team traveled to Bucknell Wedensday, Oct. 29, where they went down in defeat at the hands of the Bisons. Cathy Dudick served an ace and Mary Kay Price and Cindy Rossi each had a total of four successful spikes. Parent's Day for the team was held Saturday, Nov. 1. Seniors Cindy Rossi, Sarah Farley, Lisa Gazdick and Mary Kay Price were honored. The team defeated Misericorida in three easy games for the final victory of the season before travelling to Franklin and Marshall University for the MidAtlantic Conference Volleyball Tournament. Reflecting over the seaosn, Coach Doris Saracino commented, "This CoaC It ~ Q __ i c no was-a really exciting season. I think the girls realized that they've got ' the ability to play well and to be recognized as a winning team." She continued, commenting on the MAC Tournament, "The MAC Tournament is going to be tough. We are going to go in there and do the best we can. This is our first time to go to the tournament so we'll have to see what it's all about." Wilkes never attended MACs before because the volleyball season here was originally during the spring semester. When Wilkes converted the season to the fall semester, the volleyball team then joined the Mid-Atlantic Conference. In just two years, the team has risen in power and skill and is now eligible for the tournament. Lisa Cobb .

Senior co-captain Pam Snyder was placed on the first team for the third straight year, in addition to making the Susquehanna II team in her freshman year. She had also compete<l in the µational tournament for t!te past two years. PamSnyder Snyder, playing from the right link posision, had scored 6 goals with 2 assists in regular season competition.

At center halfback, a defensive Helen Gorgas position, is Helen Gorgas who will also be in all-star competition for her second straight year. She is a psychology major from Swarthmore, Pa. In all, players from 11 schools participated in team competition on Saturday. During the competition, individual players were judged and approximately 45 of them were asked back to participate in trial sessions on Sunday. Co-captain Magan Ward, right inner, also played on Sunday but was not selected to play in the Mideast Regionals. TEAM COMPETITION: On Saturday, 18 games took place with 6 teams taking part in championship play. A point system determin- ed which teams were to compete in the playoffs. Three points were awarded for every victory, 2 points for each tie, and 1 point for a scoreless tie. In the championship game, Bloomsburg topped Lock Haven, 32, for the right to go on to national competition. Earlier, Bloomsburg defeated Susquehanna, 4--0, and Lock Haven beat Marywood, 1--0, in the semifinals. , During the quarter-finals, Lock Haven defeated Wilkes, 1-0; Susquehanna won over Juniata, 3-2 ; and Bloomsburg and Marywood each drew a bye. The Coloneletes played three games in the preliminary competition, beating Mansfield Saturday morning. Later, they fied Center County and Lock Haven, both games being scoreless. Diane Hall tallied the winning goal against Mansfield. "Against Mansfield we were still asleep and didn't play well, and against Center County we lacked organization," said coach Gay Meyers. She added, "In the Lock Haven games we were playing much better ualit hockey, but the Ramapo Defeats Colonels The Colonels of Coach Rollie Schmidt dropped their sixth contest of the year this past Saturday by a score of 23-18 to Ramapo College in a game which was not as close as the score indicates. The Roadrunners opened the scoring on the day when Barry McBain booted a 23-yard field goal at 6: 55 in the first quarter to give the home team a 3-0 advantage. · Ramapo's position for the threepointer came after a shanked punt by Tony Popple. The ball was knocked backwards by a Roadrunner defender and recovered by the Colonels, but official possession was given to Ramapo. Carmen "Homer" LoPresto brought the Blue and Gold right back with a three-yard scoring bolt at 3:01 in the second quarter. The Colonels got the excellent scoring opportunity after recovering a Ramapo fumble on a punt return. Vince Savaco's attempt at the PAT was no good, leaving the score at 63, in favor of the Colonels, which is how the first half of play ended. The third quarter dashed all hopes of a Blue and Gold victory as the Roadrunners took the third quarter kickoff and marched 62 yards in 10 plays, capped by an eight-yard T.D. pass from Mike La France to Tony Eleftheriou with 8:43 left on the clock. Barry McBain's attempt at the PAT was no good, giving the Roadrunners a 9-6 lead over the Blue and Gold. Ramapo scored once again in the third quarter when Tony Eleftheriou pushed his way frmo one yard out to give the Roadrunners a 15-6 margin at 4:37 in the quarter. McBain's PAT was good, pushing the score to 16-6 in favor of Ramapo. The New Jersey team's final score of the day came with 11: 33 left in the game when La France hit Doug Van Horn with a 17-yard T.D. strike. McBain's successful PAT left the score at 23-6 in favor of the Roadrunners. Gerry Goss, who replaced starting quarterback Wayne Lonstein and second string quarterback George Hall, led the Colonels to a scoring opportunity at the one-yard line of Ramapo before being replaced by Wayne Lonstein who ran over for the touchdown at 4: 33 in the final quarter. Wilkes' attempt at two points failed, leaving the score 23-12infavorofRamapo. Goss led the Blue and Gold to their final touchdown of the day when he hit Tony Madden with a one-yard pass with 20 seconds left on the clock. The Colonels' final attempt to pull the game out failed when their two-point attempt was stopped by the Rodrunner defense. The Colonels did try an onside kick, but a ready Ramapo team covered the ball to end the game at 23-18 in favor of the Roadrunners. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Gerry Goss had the best day of all the Wilkes quarterbacks with a 6-8 average for 76 yards ... Wayne Lonstein and George Hall combined for 8-17 for 75 yards ... Tony Madden had nine catches for 122 yards ... Carmen LoPresto and Sean O'Dea combined for a total of 63 yards on the ground ...

Pete Steve In Intramural Tennie -------------------~--------. . Powers, Swirbel, And Speicher Cop Titles . DlaneHall starting line didn't have its usual spark. · . OFF THE STICK: In the tournament, Bloomsburg dominated the individual selections with 11 allstars. Lock Haven was second with 6 players chosen. In the playoff game against Lock Haven, it looked like Wilkes would be involved in another scoreless tie. With less than five minutes remaining, however, Lock Haven tallied the winning goal to continue in the playoffs. Had regulation play ended in a tie, a flickoff would have used to determine the winner. A flickoff is an alternating series of five girls going one-on-one with a goalie. The team that scores the most goals is the victor. The · number of goals made is added to the tied score. Bloomsburg and Lock Haven were tied 2-2 at the end of play in the championship game. The flickoff determined the difference. The Susquehanna-Juniata playoff game ended in similar fashion. Last Wednesday, the Lady Colonels lost · to Bucknell, 2--0, in regular season competition. However, Hall, Weiss, and Gorgas each had a good game. After the division II regionals, that same Bucknell team was seeded second. The Wilkes hurlers finished their season yesterday at home against Lafyette. Mark James The first season of tennis mramurals ended with playoffs filled with excitement. In the ladies division, Gail Powers came from behind to defeat Janet Vierbuchen, who was the division champion, 6-4. The match was dominated by fun and laughter. The two girls are senior nursing majors who did not have the time to play varsity tennis, but who definitely have the ability. This is the purpose of intramural sports: for those who don't have the time, for those who are not as good to play at a varsity level, and for those who just love the game of tennis (or any other intramural sport being offered).

What is the cause of this constant decline in the quality of the football team? When one looks for an answer _to this inquiry, th~ final conclusion has to be the coach. It is a well known fact of sports that when a team does poorly, the blame falls directly upon the man in charge. In this particular case, the man in charge is Rollie Schmidt. The last time coach Schmidt has produced a winning season was in 1974 when his team was 7-2 and won the MAC Northern Division title. Since that season, .the Blue and Gold has gone downhill, snowballing at a steAdy pace to a climax upon which we will not speculate.

The fmal two opponents for the Blue and Gold are not the likes of F.D.U. Madison which could spell trouble for Wilkes' faithful. If the team pulls off two wins to end the season, it will produce a 3-6 record which will be the worst football record since 1964. If the Colonels should drop their final two Sports Notice Sports contests, their record will stand at 1-8, the worst football slate since 1958 Suggestions for sports features when the team was coached by Frank Pinkowski.

Lisa Gurka In an effort to gather facts about advisor-advisee relationships, all Student Government representatives were given a packet of questionnaires to administer to students this week. The questionnaire asks the student specific questions about his or her academic advisor such as : "What do you expect your advisor . to do for you?" and "Has your advisor met these expectations?" Other questions include: "When is your first encounter with your advisor each semester? Who makes the first contact? Did your advisor make an effort to know you? Did you make an effort to know your advisor? Why? Is your advisor's attitude positive toward his position · of advising? Do you feel your advisor has adequate knowledge of curriculem requirements? If you initiate a conversation about career objectives, is your advisor willing to discuss this matter?" The questionnarie concludes with a space for comments. SG President Joe Galli asked that all representatives find people to fill out all of the questionnaires, and he asked that the representatives bring the completed questionnaires to next Monday night's SG meeting so that SG can discuss the results of the questionnaire and make some conclusions based on their findings, about the role of the academic advisor as seen by the students. SG will try to formulate a list of recommendations for the procedure of advising. A student proposal has already been brought Communications Studies------- Program Suffers Setback; Grant Proposal Refused T.1e communication studies program was delivered another setback in its attempt to come up with the needed funds for a proposed television-radio station. A grant proposal submitted to the Appalachian Regional Committee, based on the information the staff had provided, was recently turned down. According to Dean of Management, Dr. Andrew Shaw, the reason the grant was turned down was because it did not meet the criteria. Reports indicated that the money was available and the grant had "a pretty good chance" of being passed. Also, the college received inNOTICE Tonight at 9 p.m. there will be a meeting for all those interested in making plans for working on Winter Weekend. The meeting will be held in the first floor lounge of Sterling Hall. Come with ideas. formation that the grant was on a prioroty list, and this was sufficient for it to be forwarded for state review. "It was our understanding that it was in Harrisburg and being reviewed there," reported Dean Shaw. However, the college subsequently found out that the priority assigned to the grant was not large enough for it to be submitted to Harrisburg. Dean Shaw went on to say that the reviewing body failed to inform the college of that fact. A follow-up showed that there is little hope of getting approval because of not meeting the cirteria and the low priority assigned to the grant proposal. Dean Shaw stated that, at this time, the college is not optomistic of receiving the funding. He further commented that there are politics involved, and there are also more applications for funding than there is available money. As a result, many projects were put aside. Lisa Gurka before SG, but it will be subjected to revision before action is taken on the matter by the Academic Standards Committee. The proposal that was submitted includes recomendations concerning the roles of the Admissions Office, . Department Chairman and faculty advisor. The proposal also suggests that students who do not declare a major should be assigned a faculty advisor instead of using the present system in which the Deans of Student Affairs serve as academic advisors to those students. Again, the proposal is not complete since it is subject to revision .. A more detailed explanation of the proposal will be available after it is revised. In other business .at this week's SG meeting, SG Vice-President Marla Brodsky requested that $100 be given to the group sponsoring the dinner-theater this weekend. The event is being sponsored by a group of SG representatives acting through the SG social committee. Different groups will sponsor events at different times throughout the year, and each group has been budgeted $215 for its event. Brodsky explained that the money will be used only if needed, and the unused portion will be returned to SG. IRHC President Janine Tucker questioned the fund request, asking if the same thing would happen when the other groups sponsored their events. Joe Galli closed and opened the meeting so that a vote could be taken on the request this week. Tucker again raised the same que&Uon and Galli responded that when the groups were budgeted the $215, it was decided that if more money was ever needed, it could be granted. Tucker than made a motion to grant the request and it was put to a vote _and unanimously passed. Under committee reports, film committee chairman Elaine Ker-· chusky announced that $62 · was made from the showing of "Kentucky Fried Movie" this past weekend. Also, two weeks ago when "Alien" was shown, $57 was made. Rob Doty, reporting for the publicity and elections committee, reported that a three-sided central bulletin board would cost .about $2,100 and would be too expensive. However, the senior class is trying to raise funds to help pay for the bulletin board, but the plans have been changed to cut costs. The new plans call for a two-sided bulletin board with a roof covering both. sides. Ana Nunez of the constitution committee read the proposed constitution of the English Club for the first time. The constitution will be read a second time next week and then voted on. John Finn announced that COPUS will sponsor a pizza party on Thursday, Nov. 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the basement of the Student Center. It will be an all-youcan-eat affair of pizza and root beer. Cost is $2. Under new business, Joe Galli announced that this year's evaluations of representatives will be done differently. According to Galli, he cannot see giving each representative a grade and publishing the grades. Instead, he will have a conference with each representative to assess the job he or she has done this semester. Galli also announced that since the COPUS Office has moved from the second floor of Weckesser Hall to the Student Center, the old COPUS Office will be fixed up and used as a conference room for SG, Commute·r Council and InterResidence Hall Council. Dean Art Hoover announced that for the first time a pep band will hopefully play at basketball games this year. Hoover also noted that on Nov. 22 there will be an Alumni Wrestling Meet in they gym.

While staying there, the club made soil and water tests, made and mapped trails and did surveying work. The biggest problem facing the club was cleaning up the badly littered area. Club president Cathy Ochs said, "We cleaned up a lot, but there is still more we didn't have time to get." Everyone seemed proud of their work. In just four days they filled four trash cans, seven garbage bags and two large b<_>xes, consisting of both aluminum and tin cans and bottles. Even after the members of the club picked up the litter, their job was not completed. They had to separate the glass by color, either green, broWn or clear. They also had to separate the cans between aluminum and tin. · The members of the club feel that _students can help the recycling project by putting their bottles and cans in the trash baskets or, if they want to, they can bring it to the Earth and Environmental Science Club.

Those departments are: fine arts, history, political science, sociology and anthropology, physics, and music. Although they are termed "decreasing departments" in this article, these departments may be offering majors which have become stable or have begun to show signs of an increase during the last one or two years in terms of the numbers of students selecting that major. They have been called decreasing because the fact is that the figures used in this series are from the last fourteen years, and have indicated that, for more than half of that time, the departments in question have decreased significantly in terms of the number of majors. Fine Arts Dr. William Sterling, ehariman of the fine arts department, explained that two factors have contributed to the decline in the number of art majors. Sterling indicated that the first factor is that "the department previously was training people for teaching in primary and secondary schools." He commented, "There was a great demand for art teachers eight or ten years ago, and now there are fewer opportunities.'' The second factor is that students are concerned about getting jobs and, as a result, do not select majors in liberal arts as much as they used to. Sterling pointed. out, however, that the dim outlook is exaggerated. "There are more jobs than students· realize," he· a,dded. Some of these jobs are in commercial art, advertising, publishing, newspapers, television, any business dealing with photography, and display .artists in department stores. The department chairman stated that he is hopeful that there will not be further decreases in the number of majors, and a stronger effort will have · to be made to recruit students. He added that the art program is very strong and flexible enough for students to go into any one of many areas of art upon graduation. ~-;~m; Go;;erie:i ·~ And Imports • Featuring local Art • Affordable Hand Woven Rugs & Bedspreads from India • Handmade Jewelry • Writing Paper by the Pound • Unus_ual Yarns by the Ounce • B.

It has very modern facilities and excellent equipment along with a good faculty-student ratio. Sterling concluded that most students have been successful, but it is getting increasingly difficult for them to find particular jobs they are looking for. Also, a small number of art graduates do go on to graduate school, although they often wait a few years after graduation. History History Department Chairman James Rodechko noted that the decline in those wanting to be teachers has paralleled .the decline in the number of history majors. Another factor contributing to the decline is that many students do not believe that there are job opporutnities in history. Rodechko commented th~t the "number of possibilities are virtually endless" as demonstrated by the fact that Wilkes has "graduates in virtually every walk of life." Jobs open to history majors include . almost everything from account executive to atheltic director, lawyer to journalist, and professor to banker. In the future, Rodechko expects the number of history majors to increase. He explained that history is inately interesting and the job market indicates there will be jobs for history majors and less need for specialists in other areas. Rodeehko finished by saying that fewer history graduates are going on to graduate schools no~ than they used to. Those who do go enter in other disciplines, such as law, urban lanning, master of business Enrollment By Major From 1967 Throagh 1980 Major 1967 ---1117 1118 19B 197t 1971 lfl? 1973 IIH 1971 1977 1971 lffl ·- B■siHSS B■siness E1gllsh E1glis~ Busiaess llielogy Blelogy Bielogy Blelogy Naniag Naniag Naniag 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 144 127 94 160 118 93 97 80 74 59 50 46 43 K6 64 42 36 Z9 26 9 23 18 17 19 29 20 20 16 I02 118 84 55 39 28 34 1311 151 187 28 9 II 22 16 . 79 112 106 . 112 113 Physics 36 31 39 48 42 31 16 18 26 25 22 15 19 18 Political Science Social Science 72 76 75 .84 89 . 84 !13 88 62 59 54 57 54 50 42 32 20 17 14 22 19 l!I 12 IO 3 2 Sociology 109 86 IU8 142 146 133 90 67 60 45 44 53 43 28 Music M uslc Education 110 129 . 0 Sociology and Anthropology administration, an museum work. Music Although there have been fewer music majors in recent years, there has been some indication that that trend will be reversed. According to music department chairman Dr. Terrance Anderson, there has been a 115 · percent increase in the number of students in this year's freshman class than in last year's. Anderson noted that he is optimistic about the future, and while he is not concerned about the number of music majors, he expeels enough growth to utilize the Darte Hall facilities to the fullest. As far as the job market is con• cerned, Anderson explained that teaching is one of the more traditional areas tht students have been interested in. Teaching music, however, is not limited to public school teaching. Music majors can teach on the college level after obtaining -an advanced degree, or can teach~pi11no or give othe_f private music lessons. There are 'also job opportunities in the music industry in merchandising and recording, and promotion for commercials. In addition, jobs are available in the .

Anderson pointed out that he and the rest of the music faculty place their concern on the quality of the students rather than on the number of students. He added that the academic curriculum is what draws the serious students to the department, and the department is recruiting these students in 28 to 30 states this year. Physics the revival of interest in political science and the new track that the department has initiated that is specifically geared toward public administration and policy analysis. Driscoll pointed out that political science majors find jobs in public service including not only the federal government, but state and local governments as well as administrative work in hospitals, social welfare agencies and schools. In addition, most jobs in commu~ications industries require at least some knowledge of political science. Also, political science is a good preparation for law school, and there is always some need for teachers. The department chairperson added that the small classes in the upper level courses serve as an incentive for students to major in political science. Also, scholarships are avaailable to graduates and , there are assistantships positions in graduate schools·. Hr addition,f there are a number of positions available for co-op credit or departmental credit. The physics department is another department which, although it has seen a decline in the number of majors through most of the past several years, has shown some signs of stabilization or even possibly an increase in the number of majors. Dr. Francis Donahoe, chairman of the physics department, stated that in the department the "enrollment flucuates very widely for apparent reasons as compared with . the rest of the college:" He pointed out that the main reason the department loses students is that the students do not get the financial aid Sociology and Anthropology that they need. He feels that more Sociology and Anthropology aid should be tied to scholarship than need.

The book is a chronicle of a young boy's coming of age in Nazioccupied Warsaw. Kulski was the son of the Mayor of Warsaw, and only ten years of age when his homeland was invaded by the German Wehrmacht. He joined the Polish resistance, witnesed the Ghetto Uprising of 1943, and'was jailed by the 'Gestapo during the years that · most teenagers are attending school, football games and proms. When he was released by the Gestapo, he fought with the Polish Home Army in its heroic two-month long battle with the German Army in Warsaw in the Summer of 1944. Captured again, Kulski was remanded to a prisoner of war camp before he was 16 years of age. He lived the nightmare of these camps until he was liberated by the American Army in 1945. During this time, he kept a diary of the day-today life and experience of prisoners. His detailed account, written at such a young age, is surprisingly mature and adds to the poignancy. As Kulski observed in an interview with Mitzi Brunsdale of the Houston Post, "It is now (40 years after the war) harder than ever to · fully perceive and accept the inhumanity of that war-time period. I want to let my experiences stand in memory of my comrades, and the countless other brave people of Warsaw, · who symbolize the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and terror." Julian Eugeniusz Kulski is now a practicing architect and a professor of urban and regional planning and works extensively in · developing countries throughout the world as a consultant architect for several United Nations Agencies. He lives in Northern Virginia. Admission to the lecture and a · reception immedfately following the lecture· is free and open to the public. Workshop Performs Six Short Plays I guess you can call this my "follow-up" article. In last week's Beacon I told you about a· unique theatre workshop that was -to be performed this weekend. Well, it was unique, and different, and certainly not what I expected! I am not a trained theatre critic, so I am not going to comment on the individual actors' performances; besides some of those people on the stage were my friends. However, I can honestly say, and I'm sure the audience would agree with me, that the overall performance was very effective. I entered the • theatre Saturday night just as the clock was striking 8. I ran up the steps to the auditorium, and wondered if there would be any seats left. Well, there were plenty! As a matter of fact, the whole auditorium was empty and the stage was filled with people! I was handed a folding chair and quickly sat down on the stage. The lights directly above me dimmed, and I heard the stage manager, who was sitting directly behind me, whisper "Warning Cue I...". The first thing that struck me about "Next," the first performance, was that it was so vivid and true-to-life. There were no fancy props, the lighting was bright and harsh, I could see the scuff marks on the wooden stage floor, yet I really felt I was in the examining room with Mr. Marion Cheever. Mr. Cheever was deliberately trying to "flunk" his physical so that he wouldn't be drafted into the war. The play started out on a comic I felt "The Indian Wants the ·note.

Six years and eight months later Henry Aaron stood before 1,000 en- FF=====C thusiastic fans at the Wilkes College gymnasium. The quiet, reserved superstar ,shared his experiences with the crowd and told them of a dream he once had as a child. "I wanted to be a professional baseball player ever since I · was seven years old." His dream came true when at the age of seventeen he signed his first professional ampusCommentar Tlae Carter Administration President Carter will not have a second term in office. This has been the decision of the elector'ate, and democracy will run its course. His overwhelming defeat at the polls made it abundantly clear that the voters of this nation want new leadership. It also made it abundantly clear that his mistakes have alienated his 1976 election campagin supporters en masse. That every man has his mistakes is a usually accepted fact, and that every man, despite his mistakes, has some good is an often easily forgotten fact. Speaking to the Romans after the assassination of Caesar, Marc Antony made the point that men's good if oft interned with them. Obviously it is not yet time to bury James Earl Carter-what is soon to be buried is his presidency. During the past four years the world has seen history making dramatic turns. First there was Opec hiking oil prices, then there was the Islamic revolution in Iran and last but not least, there was the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. For the first time in history, developing nations clutched the developed by their throats. For the first time since Vietnam, the prospect of America being involved in conflict outside this nation's boundary hovered in the wake of the American Embassy staff's captivity in Iran, and, for the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet-American relations chilled almost to the Cold War level. These crises were a major test of diplomacy for President Carter. For many, it would have been easy enough to use political blackmail on the Opec countries, to send troops to Iran or to send arms to the Afghan guerillas. Only a few far-sighted individuals saw the implications of impulsive action, the bloody consequences of invading Iran, and the prospect of precipitating genocide on an even greater scale in Afghanistan by sending arms to guerillas attempting to break the military stranglehold-of a super-power far superior to them in firepower, mobility and all that goes with the conduct of war. Though James Earl Carter's mistakes have been many and perhaps infuriating at times, his achievements in the quest for the promotion of global peace and harmony deserve praise. The decisions of a superpower president regarding war and peace have global implications. The straits within which one in this position has to maneuver are filled with peril and a delicate touch. President Carter certainly maneuvered them with great restraint, foresight and forebearance. Anthony D. Sibiya contract for $5,000. The immortal home run king went on to break or share 21 major league records with the Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. It hurt Aaron to talk about his career because of the many hardships and discriminations he had to face . After 23 years as a player, Aaron still remembers when he had to sleep in separate hotels and take separate buses to the games. The toughest obstacle he had to face came after hitting his 600th home run. At this point in his career, the former Braves slugger was constantly hounded by the press and fans asking him the same questions over and over. "It got so bad I had to hide my kids." Aaron was receiving thousands of hate letters each day from people who did not want to see Ruth 's record broken. The pressure mounted with each home run and at one point Aaron's life was being threatened. Henry Aaron endured his struggle to become the greatest home run hitter of all time. However, Aaron was more relieved than happy about hitting his 715th home run. The superstar said his greatest thrill came in 1957 when he was voted MVP of the National League. A smile came to Henry Aaron's face when he was greeted by rousing applause from the crowd Showcase Theatre To Present Tribute " Showcase Theare will present its second production of the current season - "Tribute" - on Nov. 1416, with repeat performances the following weekend, Nov. 21-23, according to President Sylvia Savo!, Wilkes-Barre.

Aaron gave an inspiring speech with great poise and a sharp sense of humor. The 45-year-old slugger joked about never being able to visit the White House. After his 715 home run, he received a call from none other than President Nixon. The man who never told a lie invited Henry to have dinner with him at the White House when the season was over. However, before the season was finished, Nixon left office and Henry was out one trip to Washington. The same thing happened last year when Cyrus Vance invited Henry for dinner a week before he was ousted from the government. As it progressed, speech took more serious tone when Aaron told the audience that they could be anything they wanted. He also said if you have a dream you should do your best to make it a reality. The crowd was stunned when Aaron asked Qie audience to repeat three · times, "I am becoming my dream." Aaron's dream is what propelled him to such a great career in baseball and he wanted to share his dream with the young people in the audience. Aaron also said he made his career on his own. "I didn't need cigarettes, or dope, cocaine, whatever you call it today." He said these are distractions that can easily move you into despair. With all the talk going on about multi-million dollar salaries and no cut contracts, Henry Aaron was one player that was just happy to play in a baseball uniform. Aaron will always be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time and yet he was happy when his salary topped the $100,000 mark near the end of his career. Henry Aaron is not an opportunist but a loyal person to both his family and career. Many people forget that Aaron turned down 2 major league managing jobs because he thought it would take too much time away from his family life. Mr. Aaron may not be able to hit a curve ball anymore, but, as Director of Player Development for the Braves oranization, he now a helps young players achieve their dream. Baseball was always a dream for Henry Aaron and he worked hard to make it a reality. As the one time slugger stepped off the podium, he signed autographs for the 1,000 people in the audience and then flew back home to Alabama to spend time wjth his five children. I would like to thank Henry Aaron for sharing his dreams with us and proving that anything is possible if we try hard enough to achieve it. IN THE SPOTLIGHT- Among the many notable people in the audience was former Wilkes baseball coach Gene Domzalski. Mr. Domzalski playe<l professional baseball with Henry Aaron's brother Tom. He is currently Director of Career Planning for Wilkes. Last Wednesday was a strange night in the city of Wilkes Barre. While Henry Aaron was giving his speech, Tug McGraw was five blocks away giving a speech at the Gus Genetti Motor Inn. It was also ironic that Aaron gave his speech a day after Japan's home run king Sadaharu Oh retired from baseball. I would like to thank the Concert and Lecture Series for bringing sports greats Henry Aaron and Wilma Rudolph to Wilkes College. I also hope Henry will make it to the White House someday. ~ Bob Buchsbaum Chuclc Robbins... SPOITINC COODS COMPANY W~ActtplMlslH Clur,.MIIViM 39 Well Ma..et Street Wilkes-a.rre.

A member of the U.S. Marines Special Forces is secretly ordered on a mission deep into neighboring Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Green Beret colonel who has apparently gone insane and set up his own kingdom among primitive Asian Tribesmen. Before completing his assignment, the Marine learns that his taget, Colonel Kurtz, once a highly respected and intelligent man, is in the dregs of depravity because he has dared to explore his own soul, to search his own heart, and has ultimately found it hollow and dark. But more importantly, the Marine, through Kurtz, caught a glimpse of his own soul and found it, also empty. You may recognize this as the action in a recent movie, Apocalypse Now. You may not have known, however, that the director of that motion picture built his story almost exactly along the same plot line as Heart of Darkness, a novel published in 1902 and now a classic of English Literature. · Next semester, as part of the I.D.A. (Inter-Disciplinary Adventure), a two-year-old program at Wilkes, this subject will be explored in-depth in Dr. Robert Heaman 's class, "Imagination, the Subconscious, and Apocalypse Now." The program also offers two other topics-Ms. Judith Rasson's "Molly Maguires : Heroes or Heels? ," and Dr. Robert Freysinger's "Alternative Futures. " The Inter-Disciplinary Adventure program was funded last year by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The course was designed to present a variety of topics in semester length courses that would illustrate the similarity and relationship between all disciplines-philosophy, history, literature, science, psychology, etc.-which, on the surface, seem to be very dissimilar and unrelated. The course is open to any student on · a first come-first serve basis, but was primarily to provide "a chunk of the world freshmen can cope with," explained Ms. Hasson. . . Each course will explore one broad theme and all of its implications. The theme of "Imagination, the Unconscious, and Apocalypse Now" is how we arrive at truth. Dr. Heaman will explore a wide selection of material in addition to Heart of Darkness, including works by Freud, Carl Jung, poetry by Coleridge and Elliot, and music by the Beatles, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Dr. Heaman will demonstrate that through imagination and control of the unconscious it is possible to "order reality." _ Dr. Rasson's theme in exploring the Molly Maguires will be "How we know what we know. " The course will explore how image and Di~i~ion Of Con~in~ing Edaca~ion Pro.g ram Considered 'Like The New Kid On The Block' An innovative program responding to the needs of the community is the Division of Continuing Education. According to Director, Dr. .Mahmoud Fahmy, the program is "like the new kid on the block. Continuing education, the growing edge of higher education, places emphasis on quality rather than quantity education. For instance, bird watching, wine tasting, and egg decorating are not going to be taught," stated Dr. Fahmy. Some courses are directed to people who are changing jobs or people acquiring a leisure life who want to use their time efficiently. A special aspect of the program is free of charge enrollment of senior citizens age 65 or over. One of the goals of the program is to become a public service to professional groups such as attorneys, accountants, brokers, counselors, nurses, and teachers. Another goal is the upgrading of the culture of Northeastern Pennsylvania by offering quality cultural classes in theater, English, music, and art. Continuing Education is a flexible program with no prerequisites and few rules or regulations. Upon completion of courses and seminars, students ·receive credit in the form of a Continuing Education Unit Certificate, which is nationally recognized. The Division of Continuing Education works with a " liason person" from each department of \. .{\ \-\Ot ?,?' 0 ,,tan ~ea? ·te \f'-Jn'. s,c\\,af\ Wilkes College. "These individual~ identify the potentialities of the department and may recommend professionals to teach in this division," said Dr. F ahmy. Besides the liason person, there is an advisory board which is headed by Horace Kramer. This board reviews all incoming information and suggestions for the program. Presently, Continuing Education staff are working on spring semester classes dealing with ballet, family structure, parenting, and art. Dr. Fahmy would like to commend the Institute of Regional Affairs, Dr. Shaw and his staff, the administration, Mary Argenio, Donna Riccetti, and Dorothy Sehl- ingman for their extensive cooperation and mutual support. Classes are open to the public high school students, college students, working men and women, and senior citizens. Women are especially encouraged to attend classes because there are classes designed especially for their needs. For more information, contact Dr. Fahmy at Franklin Hall, extension 220.

With several different methods of research, including a field trip to the town of Eckley, Pa. (home town of Molly Maguires) , Ms. Hasson will attempt to " crack open the case of the Molly Maguires." In "Alternative Futures for American Life," Dr. Freysinger will explore the possible directions which American social change may take in the light of the crises now experienced by our country. "After an in-depth analysis of our present problems-economic, international, cultural, political, psychological, and sexual-we will comtemplate the several realistic directions our society might take to resolve the crises and meet the challenges of the 21st century," Dr. Freysinger explained. A student who took the course last year commented about its results : "It has given me a totally unique insight into some things," remarked junior Rich Myers, "by presenting material in methods that wouldn't be presented in any other class." Myers feels the only drawback of the course is that it does not fulfill the core requirements of any major. However, students selecting this course do receive three credits. · · John Finn NOTICE There will be a meeting of all members of the Journalism Society Sunday, Nov. 16 at I p.m .

IOOKS-RECORDS-TAPES 125-4717 Oiff and Monarch Notes �Page 8, The Beacon, November 13, 1980 1980-81 Financial Aid Recipients Accounting Scholarships Awarded Must Show Academic Progress Students receiving financial aid for the current academic year are reminded that they must maintain "satisfactory academic progress" toward their degree objectives in order to continue receiving aid for next year (1981-82). All financial aid programs, including those funded by State and Federal governments, require that students earn-not merely attempt24 credits for each year of grant or lo~n funds received. This information is especially timely because of the Spring registration periods over the next two weeks for underclassmen. Seniors, of course, are not affected by the progression requirement because they will not be renewing their aids for 1981-82. What this means for the freshman, sophomore or junior, however, is that he must accqmulate at least 24 credits between September 1980 and August 1981 if he plans to use his aid programs during 1981-82. If, for example, a freshman student earns . 12 credits during his first semeste.r and another 12 during his second semester, he will have met the progression requirement and be eligible to receive his financial aid for next year. On the other hand, if he earns 12 credits during his first semester and only 9 during his second semester, he would not have fulfilled the progression requirement. He would then have to attend summer school-either at Wilkes or at another instituion if approved by a dean and his department-to make up the 3 credits he is lacking for progress. Most students, it should be noted, successfully meet the progresion requirement. According to information released by the College Financial Aid Office, only 15 to 20 students each year are affected. But for those students, the result can be unnerving as well as expensive. Suppose that the freshman student in the example cited above does not attend summer school, and appears on campus in September of 1981 having earned only 21 credits in his first two semesters. Because he would still be termed a freshman for financial aid purposes (having accumulated less than 24 credits), · he would not be able to use any financial aid during his Fall 1981 semester. In other words, he would be required to pay his bill in cash until he did complete enough credits to advance to the next higher academic level. At that point, he could again be eligible to receive financial aid. A work of caution: The student progressing at the rate of 24 credits per academic year, although meeting the financial aid require- Beacon Bits •••••••••••••••••• President Robert S.

The quarterback "calls all the shots" on the offensive- unit, and when the team scores, the quarterback getsmost of the recognition. However, many people don't realize there is a "signal caller" on the defensive unit as well. The man who calls all the defensive signals for the Wilkes football team is senior Glen Colvin. According to Coach Distasio, "Glen called an outstanding game this past Saturday. " Besides c.alling a - - - - - - - - - - - good game, Glen also played an ex- day, Glen stated, " I though the cellent game as he had 11 team turned in an outstanding perunassisted tackles, four assists, 2 formance as a whole.

Now that the 1980 women's field hockey season is complete; it seems appropriate that en editorial summary of the entire season be made. Last week at Ralston Field, the Colonelettes ended the year in the same fashion they began it - with a tie. The Wilkes-Lafayette contest ended with both teams scoreless, but Lafayette outshot the Lady Colonels 14-10. Wilkes' defense appeared mo~ organized this week and freshman goalie Valerie Frey finished the year by blocking 11 shots. Meyers said, "It's going to be a tremendous gap to fill in one year. If I start looking right now, I doubt very much I can find a player of their talent, no less two .. .the leadership of both players will be hard to replace.'' One does not feel qualified to decide whether the leadership gap at Wilkes was filled, that may be left for others to decide. However, what is apparent is that this year's co-captains, Pam Snyder and Megan Ward, had a very difficult task to contend with. . 1980 FIELD HOCKEY TEAM - Kneeling from left - Diane McGovern, Mi.chele _Ws .iss, Sandy McCarrolJ, Geri McAffee, Pam Snyder, M~ga~_ Ward, Karen Myers, Betsy Ward, Tracey Day. · --· Standing from left - Coach Gay Meyers, Valerie Frey, Diane Hall, · Karen Johnson, Amy Pearsall, Patricia Riley, Karen Bove, Helen Gorgas, - Sharon Mortenson, Joyce Walsh, Linda Dayer, Kathy Reynolds, Assistant Coach Mary Jo Frail, manager Lisa·striefski. "I was pleased with the- intensity that we played. Lafayette came with the idea that they had a win, bu we · made sure they they knew Wilkes was alive and well and coming along in field hockey, " Coach Meyers noted. She added that "total team effect is a good way to end the season.'' It was this same total team effect that also began the season. The opener against Elizabethtown saw the Colonelettes surprise another team that had thought Wilkes was an easy opponent. Instead, the Colonelettes almost came away with the win. Elizabethtown tied the score with just a few seconds remaining in the game. It is these two games that bring the entire field hockey season into perspective. After last year's blockbuster performance, it must have become apparent to Wilkes' oppenents that the Colonelettes were not qualified to repeat that performance. And they didn't. This year was the first time in two years that the Lady Colonels did not become champions of their MAC League. They did not take part in any MAC playoffs and they were not invited to the Regional Tournament. In the Susquehanna Tournament they finished fifth. The championship team was Bloomsburg, whom Wilkes had beaten earlier this season. Although the Colonelettes had a winning season, their most important game against conference opponents ended with a 0-2-1 record. In an article, "Smith, Frail - · Will Be Hard To Replace," that appeared in last year's November 1 edition of the Beacon, Coach In that very same article, Mary Jo Frail, now the assistant coach, said, "Being a co-captain of a team of this talent makes me feel that much prouder." They key word here is "talent." This year began with the Colonelettes short six starters from last year's team. Underclassmen were left to fill this gap, and they were primarily inexperienced. In short; this was a rebuilding year. Some may say that the Colonelettes "choked" this season. They won _six games in a row and were sporting a 6-1-1 record when the season began to collapse. But the key to the Lady Colonels' record does not lie in their record entirely. Besides, they had a winning season. The explanatin behind the good first half and poor second half showings is based on scheduling. The majority of Wilkes' early season games were against weak teams. Although few games were relatively easy victories, the Wilkes hurlers managed to put forth the effort to finish the first half very effectively.

Wilkes will also be aided next year by sophomore Terry Monseur. The former G.A.R. standout has the unique ability for playing in a tremendous amount of three-set matches.

It was recently reported that the National Football League has decided suspend discussion on the two-point conversion in professional football fo an indefinite period once again. Numerous times this issue has come up a NFL meetin_gs, everytime ending on the same questionable note. It is hard to tell exactly what the majority of coaches and league official are afraid of if they adopt the two-point play. Some coaches have bee quoted as saying that they do not want to follow what the college ranks do, regardless of the circumstances involved. Others have expressed the sentiments that the league is too complicated the way it is, and that a new twopoint play would just make matters worse. Although most o( the NFL is against the new conversion, some coaches (especially ones who formerly coached in college ) are in favor of it. Most o this minority group feels that the rule change would bring more excitement into the game as well as provide more options for the coach and team during·critical and non-critical situations. I believe this small number of coaches and owners in favor of the new play are on to something worthwhile. Professional football is an exciting sport with a great affiilunt of fan support, but like all things, there is always room for change. A two-point conversion play in the NFL would without a doubt add more excitement as well as more variety to the game of football. Any coach who would argue that the induction of the two-point play into professional football would add more work to his duties ought to be kicked out of the league. Like any other form of living, a job involves work and in most instances, wi,rk is not easy. A coach is being paid to make tough decisions under pressure, which ultimately is what the new rule will be an about. The truth of the matter is that the coaches who use this line of defense are too afraid to come off their cushioned pedestal and get down into the trenches with the rest of the league. •. , A two-point play would add a new dimension to football wh11e also allowing a coach to use his entire squad in ways he has never before. Just imagine, a back-up running back might become the team's two-point play weapon. He may gear himself up for only that small but very important blast acr-0ss the goal line after a touchdown. Much like the way the specialty squads have become trademards of good teams, so could the two-point play squads if so devised. · One coach complained that he would not appreciate it very much if his team lost a close game on the last play of the contest because of a two-point play. This kind of arguing is faulty for the simple reason that if his team scored throughout the game, they too would have the chance to convert two-point plays and thus have the marginal difference to beat their opponent. The two-point -conversion would not change the outlook of professional football in a drastic sense, it would only add a new play and phase to an already exciting game. The only drawbacks from such a change would be the announcers having to adjust to new score totals, place-kickers being called upon only for field goals, and . lackadaisical coaches forcing themselves to make decisions which they would rather not. It is my belief that it is the last reason which prevents the two-point play from becoming a part of the NFL, and if this is true, it is really sad not only for this coach, but for the fans as well . This past week was the best ever as far as the identification of the memory photo is concerned. Dean Hoover, Dorothy Schlingman and the daughter of the athlete, Mary Ellen Gacha, all identified George Gacha Jr. as the mystery athlete. George Gacha played both basketball and baseball for the .Colonels before graduating in l!l60. The BEACON sports staff thanks the above -mentioned for their participation and hopes this response is the beginning of good things to come. Let's see how many people can name this week's photo.

Because of the nature of the damage, all·or the steps as well as the banister has to be replaced. Gordon Roberts, Director of Alumni Relations, recently submitted his resignation to President Robert S. Capin. Roberts' resignation, which was effective Oct. 31, was due to the fact that he no longer wanted to serve in an administrative position. Roberts did not have another position at the time of his resignation, according to President Capin, but is taking timeroff to decide what he wants to do. One possibility is that he will return to full-time teaching " I'm sorry he made that decision," commented President Capin, "but he left on an amicable basis. He did a good job and worked hard."

Lisa Gurka NOTICE When speaking of the costs that are incurred by acts of vandalism, President Robert Capin explained, "Obviously looking at total funds to operate an institution, one of the items which requires a substantial outlay of funds is the operation of the physical plant which included repairs and maintenance. " He further added that the cost of repairs also provide for funds to repair the damages caused by acts of vandalism. "The end result is that cost to repair damaged properties and to keep the campus clear of litter must be considered in arriving at total revenue necessary to meet these expenditures. This means that the increase is felt in a rise in tuition and room and board.'' When asked of ways to curtail vandalism, President Capin said, "There is no way to absolutely stop vandalism, ·but the objective is to INSIDE Enrollmenf Trends Part4 p. 3 "Battle With The Butt~" Today p.5 The"Zero Factor" p. 7 Football Caps Season p.11 , keep it at a mimimum." Charles Abate, business manager of the College, claimed that the highest cost incurred from vandalism are glass doors in Pickering Hall. "In the 1979-80 year, over $3000 was spent replacing glass doors in New Men's. Every weekend we have to go down and look at the damage which is totally unnecessarty." Recently banisters were torn out of the outside steps of Bedford Hall, which Abate received an estimate of.$800 to repair. There has also been recent damage to interior banisters of Bedford and Dennison Halls. As the business manager read down the list, quite frequently such items as thermostats, railings, phone boxes, door handles, lights, furniture and vending machines appear. "Regardless of who causes the vandalism, Wilkes students or outsiders, there is a lack of respect for the property rights of others. Some vandalism may be laid to outsiders but some may not," Abate said. Vandalism on campus, excluding theft, was at least $20,000 for the '79'80 term, according to Abate. "These are items that are reported to us. Some itmes are never reported and are charged directly to the student offenders through the Finance Office," continued Abate. Reiterating Capin's statement that vandalism cannot be stopped totally; Abate concluded, "Curbing vandalism is a joint effort. All parties are involved and no one person or individual can control it.''

Linda Giordano, a business education instructor, was appointed as the new Financial Aid Director, and will officially step into that post on Jan. 5, 1981. President Capin said that Raspen expressed an interest in the position and, because of his experience and desire, was appointed Director of Alumni Relations. The decision to appoint Raspen came after also considering other applicants. When asked what he planned to do with the position, Raspen replied that, first of all, he saw the position as being an involvement with many different aspects, such as keeping the alumni up-to-date on college happenings and vice versa. He further stated, "We've got to keep in touch with the alumni, with where they are and what they are doing, and keep them in touch with what the college is doing. " Alumni also play a large role in matters concerning fundraising, _ and Raspen said that it is important for the alumni to be involved in and participate in as many things as possible. He commented, "It's got to follow from an involved alumni group. By keeping them involved, they will wnat to participate more" Ra~pen wants to set up different activities for alumni to particiapte in, and in the planning stages now is a wrestling weekend at the Western of whether any other pictures will be purchased.

Winter Weekend Plans Tops G Agenda Monday One of the matn topics of discussion at Monday night's Student Government meeting, which was shortened because of the snow storm, was the beginning of plans for Winter Weekend which is in February. Reporting for the social committee, Corinna Bender announced that the weekend will probably have a summer theme. The teams participating in the events would select names of beaches and resorts for their teams. · One of the proposed highlights for the weekend would be a game of musical chairs. The Winter Weekend is looking into the possibility of having one of the city streets which cuts trhough the campus closed so that the game could be played on a larger than usual scale. What the committee has in mind is attempting to break the record for the most,people involved in a game of musical chairs. If everything goes as planned. it is possible that if the record is broken it c0uld be included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Also, the committee is considering national attention such as exposure on shows such as "Real People" and ''That's Incredible.'' Senior Class President Rob Wallace announced that the movie "Animal House" will be shown tomorrow in the gym. It will be followed by a party, and all those coming dressed in a toga will get a 50 cent refund on their admission. IRHC President Janine Ticker noted that today is National Smokeout Day Bill Miller report!:)d that COPUS is sponsoring a pizza party in the basement of the student center today. Tickets cost $2.00 and those in attendance can get as much pizza and soda as they wish. ' Finally, SG President Joe Galli announced that the first SG newsletter came out last week. It was noted that 800 newsletterswere printed and distributed to the students and -staff. SG Advisor Doris Barker stated that she "really liked the newsletter" and suggested that it be kept neat. · Louis Czachor �Page 2, The Beacon, November 20, 1!1110 Saturday, Nov. 22nd - - - - - - - - -~-~- - - - Neu, York Trip Set For Noa,. 26: Coffeehous~ Features Michael Bacon Joint CC-IRHCMeeting Sun. Singer-songwriter •Michael . Bacon will perform at a coffeehouse this Saturday, Nov. 22, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the basement of the student center. The coffeehouse is sponsored by Student Government and admission is free. In addition, .coffee and refreshments will be served. Bacon was featured at a coffeehouse here last fall which was attended by quite a few people. That coffeehouse went over well, and it is hoped that even more people will be 2>1le to attend this one. Bacon is a Philadelphia-born musician who has a wide range of accomplishments in the 10 years that he has-devoted to music. He plays the guitar, cello and oboe and has written numerous songs as well as jingles and television and film scroes. His compositions range from delicate ballads through jazz, rock and classical pieces. His "incorrect" performances are a delight to audiences of all ages. He is a recording artist with many singles and three ablums to his credit: Good News on Columbia Records, Bringing It Home and Love Songe Believer on the Monument Label. In addition, Bacon has traveled through most of North America and Europe and has performed on the same bill with Linda Ronstadt, Steve Martin, Fleetwood Mac, Loggins & Messins, Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge, Billy Joel and James Taylor. · This versatile performer also has a rather unusual accomplishment. He has built an 8-track recording studio from the ground up. He works out of this studio, holding recording sessions for taping his original songs and scores. He also College Announces Closing Policy . ' All members of the College commuity sh011ld be aware of our policy with regard to the closing of the College due to inclement weather. Normally, the College will not be closed because of bad or threatening weather. With substantially mere than half of our students living oa campus. or in close proximity, every effort will be made to con- tiaue operations. This does not mean that students, faculty or staff are expected to risk lire or limb if conditions do not permit safe access to the college. When a decision is made to suspend operations at the College, radio stations will be notified prior to 7 a.m. or, in the case of evening .classes, prior to 3 p.m. Higla Sclaool Students Attend Science &po Last Saturday Science Expo '80 was held in the Stark Learning Center. Although there were fewer high school students this year as opposed to past years, everyone involved felt that the day was a total success. Students from different high schools in the area had a chance to observe and participate in the various demonstrations presented by the departments. According to most people who were working at the expo, the reason for the lack of high school students turning out was late media publicity. Dr. Lester Tur czi said "Our public relations department did a good job, but it wasn't picked up by the local media." Dr. Turoczi added that another reason for the lack of people could be the November date. "It used to be at the end of October. When the expo was scheduled for the Nov. 15 date, it was just a week after King's College's Science Day and a lot of students just couldn't make it two weeks in a row." One of the people working at a display said, "There are more workers than people on tour here today." The students who did attend seemed very impressed with the demonstrations they saw and parUciapted in. Most of the people working there felt that Science Expo '80 was set up better than the expos of other years. Some of the displays which the guests thought were the most interesting were the psychological tests demonstrated by the psychology department. Students also seemed fascinated with the two-way mirror room of the psychology department. Another of the demonstrations that many of the visiting students found interesting was the Animal Behavior section of the biology department. Despite the small number of people to turn out, those who did enjoyed the day. One visiting student remarked that he "didn't know there were so many things in the science field." Other visiting students added that they thought the Wilkes students presented the demonstrations well. Tom Jordan Student Injured At Science Expo At the science expo last Satuday there was one minor accident. A few minutes after finishing a demonstration on the equipment used in geology, Caroline Miletta got her hands caught in one of the machines. Karen Holmer, one of the tour guides and a sophomore nursing major, came to the scene after hearing the screams. She acted immediately and took her to the nursing department. Later, students at the nursing department said ' she would be alright and they just wanted her to go the hospital for Xrays. As members of the Emergency Alert Team took her to the hospital, she seemed in good spirits. Tom Jordan formed his own music publishing company, MISMA MUSIC in 1978. Bacon has the ability to create original music for a wide variely of topics and causes, from pesticides to Loch Ness monsters. He wrote and performed the music to two recent KYW-TV IMPACT programs, a children's series for South Carolina Educational TV, five INQUIRY TV shows on CTV Canada, and many others, including son-gs and scores for New Jersey Public Television, the University of MidAmerica and Harper & Row of New York. In Michael's words .. ." ! Jove music. There's no better way o(putting it. It dominates me, destroys me, and has even delivered a few moments of ecstasy. If, after I finished performing, someone said, 'That man lgves music,' I would b_e well-complimented." IRHC Discusses Smoke-Out Day At this week's IRHC meeting, the main topic of discussion was the National Smoke-out Day. Thursday, Nov. 20 will be the day for smokers to sign pledge cards· stating they will not smoke on this day. At Wilkes, the Biological Society, Human Services, Student Government, Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council will be directly involved in encouraging smokers to stop smoking today. The ultimate goal of this national smoke-out campaign is for smokers to quit smoking for life, not just a day. In the past, many of the smokers who pledged to quit for a day did totally "kick the habit." Other new business discussed at this meeting was the project for Christmas caroling. On Monday, . Dec. 8, a bus will pick up students, at Weckesser Hall, who would like to go caroling at Valley Crest. - Concerning housing contracts, Paul Adams said that in order for a student-to break a housing contract, he or.she must submit a letter to the housing directors by December 1, 1980. . The I students must state reasons for breaking the contract and must realize that the letter is 1 sent to a committee which will decide whether or not the contract can be broken. un&er committee reports, the social committee will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at 11:30 a.m. in SLC 209. The topic of discussion will be the Christmas party, which will be held at the Woodlands on Friday, Dec. 5. · Reporting on the l) gly Picture Contest, Stacey Keeley said that the deadline for picture entry is extended until after the Thanksgiving break. She reminded everyone to turn in those ugly picture.s ! Attendance at the next IRHC meeting, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m., is highly . recommended because this will be a joint CC-IRHC meeting and yearbook pictures will be taken at this time.

Free .donuts and coffee will be served. · On December 5 Commuter Council and IRHC will hold their Christmas party at the Woodlands. A hot-cold buffet dinner will be served and a New Jersey top 40'sRock group, "Masterpiece," will perform. There wi11 also be a cash bar. Tickets are $5.00 and will be on sale in the student center. Under old business, CC President Bill MIiler noted that he has been working with the president and vice-president of the King's College Commuter Group to help structure the commuter group at King's. Members of the King's College commuter group will be attending CC meetings in the very near future . It is hoped that the commuter groups of both colleges will be able to come _together on various joint projects. One such project is to try and work a traffic deal with local city government to allow college students to have longer meter parking or to have special coupon parking. Commuter Council will also be doing its share in the all-college smoke out today. Members of council will be distributing various materials on smoking to students and will also carry out some special activities planned for the "no smoking" day. The meeting concluded with two reminders. First, there will be a joint CC-IRHC meeting next Sunday in the lower level of the library; and second, all academic advisement surveys were turned in to the council. The surveys will now be tabulated and the results will be printed. Darlene Schaffer NOTICE There will be an important meeting of the Journalism Society today at 11:30 a.m. in Room 217.

The majors to be looked at this week include chemistry, earth and environmental · sciences, philosophy, psychology, business · administration, accouting, economics, medical technology, international studies and individual studies. Most of the departments included in this week's article have had a similar number of majors for each of the past 14 years. The only possible exception to these qualifications might be the commerce and finance department which offers majors in accounting, business administration, and economics. However. because the numbers of majors in those fields dipped in the middle '70's and have increased since then, the numbers average --()Ut. Also, none of the increases or decreases were very large in comparison with the number of majors still in the department. Chemistry Acting Chairman of the chemistry department Francis Salley began by explaining that many students who major in chemistry have identified with the subject early in life and realized that they like it. Also, some students who take chemistry in high school develop an interest in it and take it as their major in college. He noted that the chemistry the student encounters on the college level differs from most previous chemistry experience in that in the first college chemistry course the student is faced with the meaning of chemical reality. At this point, the student decides if a career in chemistry is right for him. Salley pointed out that more students usually transfer into the department than out of it. Also, a number of students transfer from other schools to major in chemistry. Salley explained that the department views chemistry as a field that cannot help but expand into even greater areas that it is involved with presently. He noted that 20 years ago most of the products we have today did not exist, and in the future chemists will continue to develop new products. As a result, Salley commented, "I can see the attractiveness of the field of chemistry." Salley expects there to be an increase in the number of chemistry majors nationally and he expects Wilkes to get its share of the increase. As far as jobs for chemistry majors are concerned, Salley stated, "Many, many industries and many governmental laboratories employ chemists or chemically related peopie. Each year our students either go into a graduate school situation or an industrial situation and all are placed. There is never a year when all are not placed." Commerce And Finance The commerce and finance department, chaired by Dr. Howard Williams, offers majors in accounting, business administration, and economics. Considering the numbers of majors in these areas, Williams explained that in the late '60's and early 70's business was a "hot discipline," and at that time Wilkes ran behind the national trends. He then pointed out that, since then, there have been fewer people majoring in these fields nationally, but Wilkes has not seen these decreases. Williams did say that one reason for the steady number of majors is that during a recession "people tend to get more job conscious and tend to associate a business major with a job." Williams also commented, "The well publicized success of the M-BA (Masters of Business Administration) program has caused undergraduates to choose a business major as a road to MBA." _ Looking at job opportunities in each of the commerce and finance · areas, Williams noted that most acocunting majors get work in public accounting firms or as internal accountants in business and in: dustry. He continued by noting that the well advised economics major usually goes to graduate school if he is serious about economics. ~......................~ As far as the business ad~ ~.. ~ ;11111 ministration major is concerned, 11 ~ ~~ "' Williams explained that they tend ~ ,.jot--:'" _ ·, ;11111 to get jobs that their degree of am;11111 if') 1 ,. • ~ bition and well-roundedness ~-,''~ enables them to get.

Lately, there have also been "quite a few" business administration majors going into masters degree programs after graduation. One of the reasons that the department is attractive to students is that in terms of success on the part of its graduates, the department has "a very good track record. " Also, the acocunting internship program is very strong according to Williams, and eight monetary scholarships are given out each year to accounting majors. In addition, this year for the first time the George Elliot Memorial Scholarship will be given to an outstanding economics major. The department also gives out , three graduate assistantships mainly on the basis of merit. Earth and Environmental Sciences Earth and Environmental Sciences Department Chairman Dr. Bruce Berryman began by noting that the department is now well established and growing, and, as a result, a slight increase could be expected. He pointed out that interest in the program is "a fad that did not die out" as part of the ecology movement of the early seventies. He also noted that decreases may be possible because fewer students are graduating from high schools and deciding to go to college. He feelsthatthepossibleincreasesand the possible decreases have been cancelling each other out, and the end result has been a stable department. _Berryman noted that the department __hasa _teacher certification 35 30 19 25 26 --10- ---~--13 10 7 9 I08 54 61 -14!1- tt!t- 112100- 167 159 155 tKH 111& · 221 - 2-1,- 302 V19 25 -- ------- - - - - - - -- --- - Medical Technology 197!1 54 146 178 ;. a~~ ~ 221 236 49 :10 -- ;11111 ~ • ~ 1!176 1977 -··-- ---------- m ·-·-·-··---·---- - u II II ll 41· · 5-4 - , -, -- -48- 41 6 ti 6 ----- - - IO 7 12 3 204 166 137 122 program in earth and space science. The department also has applied for a teacher certification program in environmental science which he termed "one of the better areas in education" because the state recently began requiring teachers of these subjects to be certified in these areas. In the past, other science teachers taught these subjects. Berryman pointed out that Wilkes has the only environmental science department of the 15 close colleges in the area, and is one of the few colleges having a combined earth and environmental sciences department. The department chairman commented that about 15 percent of the graduates go to graduate schools and about 76 percent find jobs in areas related to their field. Individual Studies The college bulltin states that the program in individual- studies "is designed for those capable and motivated students who wish to undertake a course of study that cannot be provided for under any of the normal B.A., B.S. degree programs. Dr. Howard Williams noted that since "not many students have felt the need to avail themselves to individual studies" it is "probably a reflection of the quality of the regular programs." 15 46 --·-------- - - 5 IO --··-- - - - ·-· · - - - -43 34 38 43 27 43 - 6 110 133 150 8 27 29 K 3 130 . 116 Medical Technology Dr. Robert Doty noted that medical technology has a constant demand, a steady need for students. This explains why medical technology has had a steady number of majors through the last 14 years. Doty also noted that he does not see any changes in the future. He expects the demands to continue to be about the same. He stated that most medical technology graduates work in a hospital laboratory because this is what they are trained for and this is what they are qualified to do. Some private clinics and private labs also hire medical technology graduates to do the same kind of work they would do in a hospital laboratory. Doty commented that most of the graduates find work and he does not know of any cases where a student wanted a job and could not find one. As far as graduate schools are concerned, he noted that it is a possibility, but it is not a usual occurrance. If a student does go to graduate school it is usually after a few years of work. · He commented that the major is attractive because it involves interesting work, and the graduate "is almost guaranteed employment" because jobs can be found almost anyplace in the country, wherever there is a hospital.

A new club is now being formed which should interest almost every Wilkes student. The club's initials are A.S.A. - Apathetic Students Anonymous. That's right! Now you can become a member of this overpopulated organization which has infiltrated every aspect of life at Wilkes. Joining is easy. You don't have to do anything. Simply because you don't care makes you a chart-er member. Additionally, since everyone involved is apathetic, there will be no regular meetings. All you have to do is stay where you are. The meetings are wherever two or more of you are gathered - be it in Stark Lobby, Student Center, cafeteria or wherever. You also save yourself a lot of money. Due to the wonderfully apathetic attitude, there will be no dues, because there are no activities. Just think, no pesky president bothering you to participate in something - there's nothing to participate in. As an extra-added benefit, you can list in on your resume as an extra-curricular activity. Think how impressed a prospective employer or grad school will be when you explain the prestige and scope of A.S.A. Belongin~ to the club obviously doesn't hurt - but t~en, it doesn'thelp either. Gue•t Editorial--------- Education & Values ' . . To many people, a college education is seen as a means by which good employment may be obtained. However, such education should be more than this. It should be the beginning of a life-long learning process, an opportunity to gain the skills of good citizenship and a chance to acquire social understanding so that life may . be more meaningful. By working toward a reaffirmation of values, Wilkes College is taking a significant step in ensuring that these goals can be obtained by the students of this College. Values can and should be an integral part of the learning process and it is especially important that students become actively involved in the work toward a recommitment of values. Students can become involved in many ways. First, through active participation in campus activities and organizations, one has a tremendous opportunity to not only gain valuable insight into a field of study, but also to develop an understanding of working in an organization. This is especially important, because most people will spend a great deal of time in organizational activity as they begin their careers. Involvement in the community is also important. By working ,within a community, by being involved in its activities, the opportunity is available to affect real changes - to have influence on the future. Everyone can be a central part of their community and we must not be afraid to accept - the responsibility that that citizenship ifivolv~s. Finally, responsibility for personal actions and concern for the rights of others is central to this concern with values. As members of an academic institution, you must ensure that your behavior is reasonable and that your actions do not violate the rights of those around you. Consideration for others should be constant - not left behind when we go to classes, to the residence hall, to a social function. Through a recommitment to these and other values, we can be certain of many opportunities. The understanding that will be gained will be more valuable than that of any formal discipline and will surely help students toward the basic goal of a Wilkes Colleg,, education that of being a truly educated individual.

SG, Cue and Curtain ••••••••••••••..•....••••••.•••••.•••••••••••• Features Wide Range Of Talent, Style ' .Dinner Theatre Successful What better setting for the debut of the Wilkes Dinner Theatre than a cold, crisp, starlit November evenIng. With Student Government supplying the dinner and Cue-n£urtain the theatre, the joint effort was a ' clear-cut success. The menu featured a c:hoice' of. chicken, ham or veal with green beans almondine and scalloped potatoes and dessert. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by approimately 75 people, served by dedicated members of the sponsoring organizations. "The Broadway Sweeper," written by Frank Kren, began a little after 8 p.m. and proceeded to bring the audience to their feet upon the closing number. The show, a great collection of Broadway tunes, nowed as the Broadway Sweeper himself, "Harry," played by Chris Lonstrup, reminicsed of shows gone by. Chris, as usual, turned in an excelleilt performance as the scruffy cleaning man with fond memories. The "openin' " number featured the entire cast performing the Cole• Porter tune from ."Kiss Me Kate," "Another Openin', Another Show." This set the mood and made the audiences want more. .In reference to when Harry got jealous of other men looking at his wife, "Blanche," the next song was "I Still Get Jealous" from "High Button Shoes." Frank Kren and Marie Boyle were featured and handed in formidable performances. Dume Hartdagen and · Russell Curtis triumphed as the m:ain par- ticipants in Irving Berlin's "Doin What Comes Naturally" from "Annie Get Your Gun." Talent and energy abounded from the rest of the cast which included : Tom Butcher, Larson Orehotsky, Sue Har•rison, Donna Pioppi and Frank Kren. Tom Butcher took to the stage for a solo from the classic "Finian's Rainbow." A bit nervous but worthy rendition of "Ole Devil Moon" prevailed. Harry, thinking of how great it is to rub elbows with the big shots and be around the pretty girls, led to the realization of "There's Nothing Like a Dame." The male performers, Tom Butcher, Russell Curtis, Steven DiRocco, Fr~nk Kren, Mark Menges and Larsen Orehotsky lamented about how it is to be a sailor without a 'r'dame." The number was an unbeatable rousing performance by all. . The "My Fair Lady" hit "Wouldn't It Be Lovely" was perfected by the flower peddling Becky Bolinski. Following with another stunning solo wa~ Stenen DiRocco with "The Impossible Dream" from the "Man of La Mancha." DiRocco's performance was definite plus to the show. "Love Song" gave Diane Hartdagen and Russell Curtis an opportunity to shine in this duet by candlelight. Here, Harry looked back upon the love between his parents. Up next, Harry assisted Becky Bolinski (and her lovely yellow feathers ) concerning the woes o~ brin~ n~ un "Kids" ,_,...,.. The Showcase Theatre will perform "Tribute" on Nov. 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in Church Hall. This comedy by Bernard Slade, a perfect blend of uproaring laughter and heart-rending pathos, is about a man who has lived his first fifty years treating life as a comedy, only to discover the ending has been rewritten as a tragedy. The Paper Bag Players-Children's Theatre will perform Nov. 22, 23, 24 in he CPA. Times for the event are : Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Monday 1 p.m. For ticket information, contact the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of Hadassah. ''Bye, Bye Birdie." Setting the women's lib movement a few steps backward and the audience into laughter and resounding applause, Russeel Curtis, Frank Kren and Dr. Mike O'Neill came through with flying colors with "Everybody Oughta Have a Maid." The three men were fantastic in presenting an almost logical case of the benefits a maid would produce. True talent coming forth, Frank Kren was center stage with " It- Only Takes a Moment" from "Hello Dolly." Kren did total"justice to the Jerry Herman tune, adding a great grin. The final two numbers, "Grease's" "We Go Together" and "Give My Regards to Broadway" from "Little Johnny Jones" were excellents as all cast members were utilized and hard work was evident in all areas choreography, Sue Harris ton and Donna Pioppi; piano accompanists, Mark Reddington and Tony Reeves; directed by Bruce Phair ; technical direction, Curt Shrawder; electrician, Tom .Quinn; make-up by Rebecca Schmidt; and stage manager Rebecca Toten and assistant Anna Mae Stanley. All members of the Student Government and Cue-n-Curtain must be certainly be commended for showing the campus what a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work and talent will produce - a stunning evening of student talent.

IOOKS-RECOROS-TAPES US-4767 Oiff and Monarch Notes You may think she is a sad cherub adorned with flowers, or recognize her as the head from Durer's "Melancholia," but to artists, she is the "pinup girl of all printmakers.'' This pinup girl heralds in a new art exhibit in the Sordoni Art Gallery. "Artists Who Make Prints" features a wide variety of styles and techniques presently used in modem printmaking. The exhibit brings together high energy works by artists from a wide range of ages (from 20-80 years old) of nationality (Chinese, Polish, Spanish, Japanese, South American) and of both sexes. Some artists exclusively make prints while others incorporate printmak, ing in their artistic output. Some of their prints look like paintings, while others look like prints. The original exhibit, which opened In the Federal Building in New York City in October, consists of two works by each artist. This was done to enable viewers to see the artist's thinking more clearly. Unfortunately, The Sordoni Art Gallery cannot house more than 80 large prints (some of these prints are over four feet tall) so the art gallery here will exhibit one half of the original prints in the original show, while the Brooklyn Law School will show the other half. The show will come together in Fordham University at Lincoln Center in the spring. Another interesting feature of this show is that it is curated by an artist, Ms. Berenice D'Vorzon, associate professor of art at Wilkes and a member of the Organization of Independent Artists, the sponsoring organization. The O.1.A. is a loosely organized group which sponsors art exhibits in public places, alternates spaces for artists and helps artists get started. According to Ms. D'Vorzon, the O.1.A. is interested in artist-curated exhibits because they feel that artists choosing works have a different attitude than commercial galleries, and the artist-will be able to identify works that have not been exhibited. All shows sponsored by the O.1.A. are artist-curated. , An advantage of reproductions such as those in the show, is that they bring the price down and make them accessible to the middleincome collector. Original prints may easily cost over $3000, while reproductions may only be around $500. In conjunction with this exhibit, Wilkes will also feature H. _Kaspar Hort, who is one of the exhibitors, and a Swiss silkscreen artist and painter. He will give a lecture and slide show at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 20 in SLC 1. He will also give a demonstration and workshop in the Print Shop, SLC 7: There will be a reception at the Print Exhibition in the art gallery at 4:30 p.m. Letter Of Tlaanlcs Prof Enjoys Show To the Editor: To the Editor: I would like to extend congratulaI would like to congratulate the tions to Curtis Richardson on his faculty and students who parwmnmg the Sexiest-Legs-on-a- ticipated in the one act play Football-Player Contest.

The year 1980 has been a great year for former California Govenor Ronald Reagan. In June of this year, he won the Republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States. As the year drew further to a close, Reagan's hopes and dreams became clearer. On November 4, he won the Presidency with a landslide victory over the incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Yes, 1980 was great year for Ronald Reagan, and the following four years of office may be great also. Or will they? These years of power and honor may turn into ones of horror. They may turn into a nightmare, not because of risiQg inflation, a bad foreign policy;· or a bad economy, but beacause of the presidential "ZER,O FACTOR." This "ZERO FACTOR" hsa plagued presidents for, every twenty years since 1840 and the short term of President William Henry Harrison. What is this mysterious "ZERO FACTOR" that takes lives of America's most important men? The "ZERO FACTOR" involves the dimension of time. the predictable zodiac, and a simple astrological phenomena called the con. junction of Jupiter and Saturn.

Seven of these nine presidents have died in office .for one reason or another. These facts and more to come are almost unbelievable. William Henry Harrison was the first president to die in office, the oldest . man to become president (68) until the election of Ronald Reagan, and the president who served the shortest term in office. Harrison's d' ath was due to his catching of a simple cold·on his inauguration day, or was it due to a mysterious Indian curse? , On November 7, 1811, government troops outnumbered and c~ushed Shawnee Indians in the battle of Tippecanoe. The battle was caused because of Harrison's banning of liquer to the Indians and the giving of 2,900,000 acres of Indian land to the settlers. During this confrontation, a Shawnee Indian named The Prophet was said to have put a curse on Harrison and the white man. To some people, President Harrison's death from pneumonia thirty-one days after he had caught a simple cold was mysterious, but an acceptable happening. To others, it was the ancient Indian curse - THE "ZERO FACTOR". ,· The most mysterious part of the "ZERO FACTOR" comes accompanied with the idea of history repeating itself. The history surrounding President Abraham Lincoln and his counterpart John F. Kennedy is even more mysterious than Harrison's. Abe Lincoln, an Aquarian, was elected to the Presidency in the year 1860, while John Kennedy was elected to the same position one hundred years later in 1960. This factor of one hundred years and history repeating itself is prevalent throughout their Presidential histories. In 1847, Lincoln was elected to Congress. One hundred years late in 1947, John Kennedy was elected to Copgress. The one hundred year factor goes on even further. John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin, was born in 1839, while Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was born in 1939. In both cases, the deceased presidents were succeeded by Southerner's with the last name of Johnson ; Andre Johnson who was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson who was born in 1908. President Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who asked him not to go to the play at Fords Theater, and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln who requested he not go to Dallas. Are these facts merely coincidence, or was it the "ZERO FACTOR"? John Kennedy knew about this "ZERO FACTOR" and commented, "I'm going to break the jinz," He did not! With all this past us, but the "ZERO FACTOR" upon us, what is 1980-81 going to bring us ? This year, the "ZERO FACTOR" has an important variation. From 1840-1960, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occured in the zodiological earth-signs. This year, it is in the constellation of Libra, an air sign. This could make a difference if the president is not a Libra. Sydney O'Marr writes in his book Weekly Astrological Guide for Sagittarius 0979): " The man elected in 1980, according to what we have learned from the past, has less chance of surviving than if elected at another time. Furthermore, if the man elected president of the United States happens to be an Aquarian or a Libran, the odds multiplyagainst his leaving office alive." The two candidates for President in 1980 w~re Jimmy Carter.and Ronald Reagan. Carter is a Libran and Reagan is an Aquarian. These facts strengthen the theory of the "ZERO FACTOR" by telling us whichever man was elected, he would not serve his full term . O'Marr also writes: "A Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs this year. The man elected president of the United States will not survive his term or terms in office ... I feel this is especially applicable should the person be an Aquarian. " The United States has had four presidents who were born ·Aquarians. They were all elected during the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction and not one left his office alive. Ronald Reagan is an Aquarian and he was also elected during a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. On November 4th, Ronald Reagan was elected by the people to be the President of the United States. Or, was he elected by fate to follow the other "ZERO FACTOR" presidenls. Every fourty years _an Aquarian like Reagan was and has been elected into office and then later died in office. Will the 1980 "ZERO FACTOR" prove that history repeats itself or will Ronald Reagan do what John Kennedy could not do - break the jinx.

Amidst this confusion was a tall man sweeping the floor for an upcoming basketball practice. The man was head coach Ron Righter and he had plenty to say about his 1980-81 basketball team. Coach Righter came to Wilkes late last summer. Since then he has turned the Colonel sports program upside down or I should say " tight side up. " The former St. Joe's standout took over a basketball team that was going nowhere and.in only one year gave them a bright future to look forward to. Last year the Colonels surprised everyone by having their best season since 1975. The most memorable event in Colone! history occurred last year when Wilkes beat cross town rival King's College for the first time in over 30 years. Coach Righter Jost three lettermen from last year's team but he has made up for it by bringing eight new players to help in the 1980-81 season. "I didn't get a chance to recruit last year because I was hired late, but I hope this year's recruiting will make up for last year's non-recruiting." Coach Righter has built the Colonels into a recruiting years Wilkes has ever posit10n. had. When asked how much the new The Wilkes . men's basketball recruits will help the team, the 6-7 team is very young and Coach coach r-:.plied, "They all came here Righter said his players must get ready w play and with them, our their feet wet before they take a team is complete."

When the final whistle blew to end the last game of the season, the Wilkes soccer team that left the foeld after a 0-0 draw against Dickinson was a far cry from the team which had such high hopes and morale at the season's start. The final record - 12 losses, 2 wins andldraw. Many agree that Wilkes had a potentially superb team this year. A good number of the players had fine individual skills. The question then is, if this was so, why the tattered record? Coach Ernesto Lopez attributes it to lack of team spirit and maturity. "I made the-mistake of thinking that I had mature people on the team, but now I see that I was wrong and there are going to be changes in the future," he said. This analysis was a good one. The team was ridden with htolerance, a continual search for scapegoats when things went wrong early in the season, and a very immature way of dealing with problems. Of the three captains, only one, Mike Karns, showed any leadership and set the team standards. The others were either too eager to be viewed as "nice guys" at the expense of the solidarity of fhe team or actively participated in yelling and bickering, which could be heard at almost all practices and games. In the end, , players boycotted and deserted the team. Those who stayed on became constantly and nervously on guard against making mistakes and thereby eliciting a yell from others. The result was that their game deteriorated by leaps and bounds. In the end, the team became but a shadow of its old self. But why were the troublemakers not thrown off the team? It just happened that there were some of the veteran players who eveyone felt were indispensable, and their realization of this became · translated by them into license for the blatant harassment of the newer players. These problems have finally led Coach .Lopez to declare that there will be sweeping changes . next season. Mike Karns will hopefully be back to again lead the team, and the coach expressed his hopes that this will help to make things better. Among the major changes will be that any player who feels indispensable and attempts to resurrect the bickering of this season will kindly be asked to leave the team in peace and find some other place to practice this. Happily for most of the players, those who indulged in this will not be with the team next year, and a few have expressed hope for the better future seasons. Anthony D.

On Thursday, Nov. 13, the women's basketball team traveled to play their first scrimmage. Although this was only a practice scrimmage, the girls showed their impressive talents by drowning Dickinson in five quarters, 111-66. Coach Nancy Roberts commented on the girls' stamina during the scrimmage, saying that they showed a good amount of en- durance and determination. She said she was especially pleased to see how well the team played together for their first time out on the court. She sid that the freshmen wree excellent players, and that the upperclassmen were better than ever. "The girls are working as a team," Coach Roberts commented. "There are a lot of freshmen on the team who promise Wilkes a bright future in women's basketball. They · are determined and hard-working. I believe we have, the potential for a · very good season as long as the girls continue playing together as a team and combine their individual talents."

Professor Richards from the math department and Bob Rushworth from WCLII radio correctly identified the former Colonel athlete as Jim Ferris, the current principal of Wyoming Valley West High School. Ferris' picture has the distinction of being the quickest identified memory photo thus far this year. Mr. Richards identified the photo as soon as the BEACON 'S appeared on campus. Can so!lleone be quicker ? This week' s photo is an easy one to set the new record with. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND NAME THAT PHOTO! The Blue and Gold ended their 1980 gridiron campaign with a thrilling 9-7 victory over the Crusaders of Susquehanna Univesity in a special Friday night game at Selinsgrove. Susquehanna took an early lead in the game when freshm an Hank Belcolle plunged over the goal line from one yard out with 11: 17 left to play in the second quarter. F rank Riggitano split the uprights for the extra-point to put the Crusaders ahead 7-0. This was all the scoring that was to take place in the first half as the Colonel defense stopped all other Crusader drives, and the Colonel defense was stifeld by Susquehanna's defensive eleven. During the first half, the Blue and Gold's defense had a number of great plays, including an excellent defensive secondary play by Ray . MASTER DISTRIBUTOR CASE BEVERAGE CO. -·Kingston, PA Now Available on Draught lll,■;W#WiU:!14■h¥11·ii!d § i BIi Boudreau. None the less, the first half ended with Susquehanna on top 7-0. The thrid quarter saw a great defensive battle between the two teams, as neither offense was able to mount any type of serious scoring threat. This defensive mastery flowed into the fourth quarter until the Crusaders were able to get close enough for a 25-yard field goal attempt. The hopes of Susquehanna putting the game out of reach fluttered as Riggitano's boot was wide to the left. The missed three-pointer seemed to put life into the Colonel team as starting quarterback George Hall led the Blue and Gold 74 yards, capped by Carmen LoPresto's five yard run for the touchdown. The Colonels' first attempt at two points was good, but it was erased by offsetting penalites. The second shot at the two point conversion was no good, leaving the score at 7-6 in favor of Susquehanna. The Colonel defense met the task head-on of stopping the Crusader offense on the initial set of downs, forcing the Crusaders to punt the ball away with 2:15 left to play in the game. The Colonels put together a brilliant drive, moving the ball down to the Crusaders' 14yard line. With five seconds left in the game, senior Vince Savoca was called upon to try a 31-yard field goal. Savoca, who was not called upon much during the season to · kick three-pointers, split the goal posts with the final boot of his Colonel career to give the Blue and Gold a season finishing 9-7 triumph over Susquehanna University. The victory ended the Colonels; 1980 campaign at 3-6, with an MAC record of 3-4. FOR YOUR INFORMATION : George Hall played the entire game for the Colonels, hitting on four of 14 for 32 yards while picking up_ 94 yards on the ground ... " Homer" LoPresto ended his final game at Wilkes in top form , rushing for 167 yards on 27 carries ...The entire Colonel defense was simply outstanding ...Savoca's field goal had to be the most exciting play of the season ...A great amount of credit must be given to the strutters, majorettes and cheerleaders for cheer- ing the team on throughout the year. No value can be placed on the value of these girls and Colonel fans should be very proud of them ...The Wilkes' band was simply tremendous this year. Not only did they fill the air with high quality music, but they were very entertaining to watch as well. Hats off to this very special group of people ...Special thanks to the 'BEACON spotters.

Dr: Andrew ShJ-W, Dean of Management, said "In the administration's judgement, the modifications necessary to bring the building into compliance with the department's regulations are economically unfeasible.' ' Therefore, the occupants of Kocyan Hall will be relocated and eventually the building will be razed. One of those occupants is this area's detachment of the Air Force R.0.T.C., which will be moved to Church Hall, the brick building in front of the library. (The Philosophy Department will be moved to Stark Learning Center.) Lt. Col. Bruce L. Burke, Professor of Aerospace Studies and spokesman for the R.O,T.C., said, "We are very pleased with the move," and agreed with the administration that Church Hall is a very desirable location.

Earlier in the week, members of the council joined together to decorate the Student Center for the holiday season. Punch and cookies were served to the workers. On Thursday, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Student Center, there will be the last coffeehouse of this semester. Expected to perform is Chick Reeves. Free donuts from Mr. Donut and coffee from the food service will be served. Next semester, auditions will be held for Wilkes College students to try out to perform for the coffeehouses. Local talent will also be on card. This Friday, December 5, CCIRHC will sponsor its . Christmas Party at the Woodlands. Speaking about Christmas, members of SG, IRHC and CC will join together Monday night for some Christmas Caroling at the Valley Crest Nursing Home. Anyone interested in going Christmas caroling should meet in front of Weckesser Hall at 6: 30 p.m. In other news, the bus trip to New York was a success, .although there was some confusion concerning a reserve list. It seems that some students purchased $24.00 Broadway show tickets and had left their name with members of CC to be put on a reserve list. There was no reserve list and, consequently, there were some minor problems. Overall, the bus trip was sold out and pli:µis are in the making for another trip to New York next semester. Under committee reports, the Special Events Committee brought up for discussion the possibility of having a concert. SG President Joe Galli announced that the idea of sponsoring a concert isn't new, but there are several financial repercusions associated with it. A suggestion _ was made to perhaps have a bus trip to a specific concert, instead of hosting one. Galli explained that it is very hard to book a bulk of tickets for a show and there still is the risk factor. "Besides, you would have to make all the arrangements months in advance to sponsor such an event.' ' Also under reports, a new committee will be established for next semester. The committee is the Apartment Committee and it will be organized over the break and will serve as a housing referral.service. CC President Bill Miller noted "Technically students living in apartments are commuters, but they aren't represented well. There are approximately 200 to 250 students that live in their own apartments and commute." Galli noted that with the establishment of the new committee, students who · rent apartments will be represented, although there will not be a separate council for apartment students. Galli believes that if there was a separate council for apartment students it would help to separate the "closeness" made between CC and IRHC. As the meeting came to a close the entire council showed their spirit by wishing and singing "Happy Birthday" to Joe Galli and Gina . DeBiase. The group also extended a tribute to Bill Miller by singing "Miller the CC President." Darlene Schaffer Joint CC-IRHC Meelln9-------- - -------- - --- --------- ·chrisfmaS Parly Set For Tomorrow At the joint IRHC-CC meeting, the upcoming events for Christmas celebration were discussed. Sue Schwab, social committee chairman, reported that the Christmas party will be held at the Woodlands on Firday, Dec. 5. Another event for the holday season is the decorating of residence halls. All decorated residence halls will be judged on Tuesday, Dec. 9, beginning at 7 p.m. Paul Adams stressed that miniature twinkle lights must be used for all displays in order to prevent fire hazards. Also, Ctiristmas caroling at Valley Crest will be held Monday, Dec. 8. A bus will pick up students at 6:30 p.m. in front of Weckesser Hall. Reporting on the progress of the food committee, chairman Bruce Williams said that the new meal ticket system, which requires I.D. cards, will be instituted next semester. Without carrying the I.D., 'the student must pay the price in order to eat and later he or she will be reimbursed for the cost. Some special features to look forward to in the cafeteria are : Dec. 10, a Bread Bar; Dec. 14, a Christmas dinner; and Dec. 17, Fast Food Night - "McDonald's style." The last food committee meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 11, in the east wing of the cafeteria at 2 p.m. Under new business, Rick Chapman, president of "Friends Forever," encouraged Wilkes students to become "big brothers or big sisters" to a,young person in the Wyoming Valley area. He stressed Ele c trical Engineering Pt'Ogl'Dln Receia,es Accred imtion FronaABET The Engineering Department of Wilkes College has recenlty been in- formed that their Electrical Engineering (EE) program has been accredited by the Accrediting Board for Engineering Technology (ABET). Within the EE program are fields of concentration such as bio-engineering and computer engineering. ~ . Department Chairman Dr. Umid R. Nejib related that notification of accreditation came at the beginning of this semester. To gain accreditation, the procedure is as follows: First a documentation must be prepared a year in advance. Then a team from ABET visits the department for four days: "They go through eveything assignments, course - work, laboratories," noted Nejib. The team then submits a report to an ABET assessment committee .which sends its decision on accreditation to · the college: ABET decided to award the Wilkes College EE program the full allowable accreditation. Nejib commented that this does not happen very often. He continued, "It is very healthy for us to have someone from the outside come in and look at us, assess us." The engineering department is broken down irito electrical engineering, which is accredited, and materials engineering, which is not accredited yet. Nejib pointed out that many people think that material engineering is not accredited because it has been rejected. This is not true. Nejib stated that the only reason that materials engineering is not accredited is that the ,department has not applied for it, but plans to do so in 1981. He4admitted, "I don't think we'll have any problem with it." The reason the department applied for accreditation for EE first, Nejib said, was because, "We decided to pick the hard one first, then follow up on the other one (materials engineering)." He felt it was "more imperative" for EE to have the accreditation. Nejib noted that the accreditation has "opened new avenues!' for the students. For example, if a student is applying for a job, for a scholarship or to a graduate school, the person who reviews his application will know that the student has met certain standards because he is the product ofan accredited program. Also, to help the students, the department has created an advisory board. It consists of 15 members: three deans of engineering, four alumni and numerous people from industry. The board meets once a year to disucss new ideas and problems, such as how to retain faculty, what graduate schools want and where industry is headed. Nejib- commented that the board helps keep the department "in touch with the outside world." the importance of spending an afternoon with a young boy or girl in the valley who needs an older brother or sister to look up to.

Reporting on attendance of the NACURH regional conference held at Rochester Institute of Technology, IRHC President Janine Tucker said, "It was a rewarding experience for the Wilkes College delegation to meet people from other schools in the north Atlantic region."

It concludes with an over-all analysis of the en-· tire series. . Those areas examined this week include biology, engineering, and nursing. Three other majors also are increasing ...,. communications, computer science and theater arts. All three were examined in a previous article because the departments through which they are offered also offer other majors which are not increasing. They will not be examined again here. They are mentioned here only because they are, in fact, increasing. Both communications and theater arts are in their second year of existence and this contributes to the increases in these areas. Likewise, computer science, in its fourth year as a major, is still growing. The remaining areas, biology, engineering and nursing, are examined in detail below. Biology Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the biology department, explained that the increase in the number of majors in his department can be primarily attributed to a strong emphasis in the pre-medical areas nationally as well as on the local level. He reiterated that in the last 15 years there has been a great deal of interest in medicine. This interest has not been limited to traditional medicine, but has extended to osteopathy, podiatry and op- tometry as well. .; r , h le ... t , 1. ,. Turoczi pointed out that part of the increase in the number of majors is related to the advent of the Wilkes-Hahnemann cooperative program in family medicine. Since the inception of that program, and similar programs in other areas of medicine, the number of biology majors has increased from about 150 majors in the late sixties to about 300 majors in the middle seventies. Recently, however, the number of candidates for the WilkesHehnemann program has diminished. Turoczi noted that while that decrease has occured, however, increases have been noticed in the number of candidates in the other health related programs. Turoczi also pointed out that a significant number of seniors are admitted to traditional medical programs, and that the record for traditional_ medical school admissions from Wilkes is better now than it was ten to 15 years ago. In addition, the department chairman commented that a resurgence can be seen in the number of people who are· pure biologi~ts - that is, people who ~re interested in biology rather than medicine or other related areas and who are likely to continue with Major 1967 1!1611 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1!174 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 biology at a graduate level.

How many hours do you spend reading (for enjoyment and not 'for classes)? If you're like most students, you prbbably spend more time in front of the tube than in front of a good book. Instead of reading for entertainment, many people turn on the tube. Sometimes it can be very informative and entertaining. But other times . viewers sit in a catatontic state, wasting time on ridiculousness like "WKRP" than constructively spending time on more enriching activities. It has been said that one way to ruin a civilization is to take its books away. TV does that to some degree. Only this deprivation is voluntary. By not reading, people tend to decrease their ability to communicate effectively with others via poor spelling, grammar and' vocabulary. The kwik, kleen spelling of TV advertisements is not majik, nor is it the rite way to spell. This is not to say that everyone must write Like ,Hemingway in order to be effective. Clarity and a_ccuracy does help. The problem of inarticulate people has not originated with the present college-age students, however. Grammatical and spelling errors have been found in many syllabi or tests given by a professor - some of them from our very own English department. While many shows such as "60 Minutes," "Lou Grant," movies and cultural presentations may have some-redee-ming value as they examine issues and problems which face us each day of our lives, most should be considered an insult to the intelligence of an average college student. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the kind of high-quality comedy that would never make it on prime time TV. __ Most students of all ages find learning English almost unbearable. So it isn't surprising when you see that the TV becomes the most dominant force in their lives. It doesn't require any knowledge of English, grammar, spelling or writing. The tube just · spews forth heaps upon · heaps of bastaraized words and phrases .. SAT scores are decreasing at an inversely proportional rate to hours spent in front of the tube. Can something be done to alleviate this inability to articulate? Perhaps the already over-loaded English 100 classes could be increased in size and number. Bijt this is not the real answer to a very real problem. It begins with childhood. Children are put in front of the TV and left there by many parents. Old habits are hard to break. By college, most students are used to three hours of TV a day and seem addicted to it. The on- . ly solution at this point is to try to decrease TV viewing and increase book reading. In order to save the language from a slow and miserable death, something has to be done - and fast! tf"~tf"~tf~~~~~~tf~· ~ ttt CHRISTMASPARTY ~ Sponsored by CC 4' IRHC ~ Friday Dec.

Although most residence hall fires are less tragic, residence hall fires are not an uncommon occurrence. The life styles of college students are in some ways especial-ly susceptible to the dangers of fire. Overloading electricla circuits with heating appliances, typewriters and lamps, and using improperly guaged extension cords are common fire hazards found in college residences. Letter Policy The Housing Office urges students to keep the following fire safety llioughts in mind : L Fire safety equipment, such as wall mounted extinguishers are there for everyone's protection. Also, pulling false alarms is a prank that can lead to loss and injury for students as well as fire fighters. 2. Ex_ tinguish smoking materials before going to sleep. Check the room after a smoker leaves. 3. Use only one plug or electrical cord per socket. Run extension cords aroond the perimeter of the room, carpets and rugs. Use cords of appropriate guage. 4. Be familiar with college buildings. Learn all means of escape. 5. Keep fire doors closed at all times.

Phil Bosanowski hopes these familiar names and places will make the Wyoming Valley audience more responsive to "Flood." · Well, wouldn't you be interested in seeing a play about your very own town, and very own people? The ancient Greeks wrote the " Iliad" and the "Odyssey" because they could identify with the popular heroes. Well; Wilkes-Barre is going to get a chance to identify with its very own heroes - the people involved in the actual flood. characters turned out so much like the people of this area. " I grew up in a small New Jersey city very much like Wilkes-Barre, so ~ing here was almost like a homecoming; the houses, neihborhood bars and people all looked familiar." Phil did his research for "Flood" by asking citizens of the Wyoming Valley about their experiences during Agnes. Then, he added his own creativity and imagination to bring them to life once again. Phil wrote his first play when he was a child. Since that time in his life, he has worked at a number of odd jobs to support himself while continuing to write plays. Currently, he is producing his own play at the "Bottom Line," a ~ell-known nightclub in New York City. " Unfortunately, it is difficult to make a living out of playwriting, although some people, like Neil Simon, get very lucky. " Phil intends to keep on writing his plays, however. Next semester he will attend a playwrighter's festival in the Midwest. "We will all be collaborating on a play about American heroes and idols, everyone from Johnny Appleseed to Marilyn Monroe." On Dec. 5, 6, at 8 p.m., and on the 7th, at 2 p.m., we will get to se our own heroes and idols - real live people who bravely dealt with the worst natural disaster in the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania. So come and see the return of Agnes. :w zw/MwffN///Ufff f/ff&////ff/f fN ff./#fff fffliMH/4'ffPfffftf/4M¾0 m RoyaFahmy f/1'ffffAV/4fM ,,,&WM II Insurance Calms 9786354 HAVE YOU SEE1' THIS MAN ON CAMPUS? - If not, then come to the opening night performance of the next theatre . production, "Flood" on Friday night. Pictured above is Phil Bosakowski, the Wilkes, playwright-in-residence <not criminal at large, as the picture would indicate ) who wrote the play. He and the cast will be available at the reception following the opening night performance. There is one character in the play who is not quite a hero, however. This is the narrator. He speaks to the audience as well as to the charcters in the play. He is sort of a mid,die man, involved in the play but only as an observer. In one scene, when all the characters are frantically stacking sandbags to block ' the dike, they ask the narrator for help. He coldly replies, " No, I cannot help you. I'm taking pict4res, this is history ... " The narrator serves another purpose also - he is the link between Phil, our playwright, and the audience. Phil cannot be up on the stage explain· ing the events of the flood , so the narraotr does it for him . "I wish I could be an actor and a director and a playwright all at the same time," , muses Phil " but playwrit ing is my first love." During the rehearsal, Phil often discussed the script with Jay Sigfreid and the actors. He also changed a few lines in the script once in a while. "The fun of playwriting is inventing your very own characters and situations," explained Phil, "and if you don't like somthing about them you just change it." I asked Phil how his NOTICE A $1,000 grand prize will be awarded in the Special Poetry Competition . sponsored by World of Poetry, a guarterly newsletter for poets.

Trying to describe an accident can be difficult, particularly if you are the one at fault. However, always remember that others have been in the same situation, and they too have found it hard to convey exactly what was the cause of the accident. The following statements apeared in an issue of FTC Watch. These are a~tual summ~ries submitted by policyholders who were asked for a brief summary on how a particular accident happened. So if you ever have the misfortune to be involved in an automobile accident, you can think of t hese as examples of what not to say to your insurance agent. ·· Coming home, I drove into 'the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions. I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I put my hand through it. I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way. A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face . A pedestrian hit me and went under my car. A guy was all over the road, I had to swerve a number of times be.fore I hit him. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment. In my attempt to kill a fly I drove into a telephone pole. I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision. I did not see the other car. I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident. The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle. I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different directjon going the opposite way. I was backing my car out of the driverway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before. , I was oD"my way to the doctor's with rear end troubl~ when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident. I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose and flew out the window. The next thing I saw was his rear end and there was a crash. As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident. To a.void hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck a pedestrian. My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vt11icle. An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished. I told the police that I was not injured but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull. When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car. . The pedestrian had no idea which way to go, so I ran over him. The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a bigmouth. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was' later found in a ditch by some stray cows. The accident happened when the right front door of a car came around the corner without giving a signal. The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end. . , I saw her look at me twice, she appeared to be making slow progress, then we met on impact. �Page 6, The Beacon, December -l, l!l80 Bacon Sizzles Coffeehouse In our everyday world, with the pressures of exams, papers, classes and labs, it's important to take an evening off and relax by listening to some mellow music, without all the elaborate orchestration one hears on most albums and tapes. Saturday, Nov. 22, was that type of relaxing evening for those who went to the SG-sponsored coffeehouse in the Student Center, featuring Michael Bacon. Well over 50 people attended the coffeehouse and were treated to the type of mellow entertainment that is provided by a singer with just his guitar. Bacon played and sang a variety of songs - some humorous, some . serious. He himself had written many of them, but he sang several. songs originally performed by · other artists. He also introduced most of the songs either by telling why he had written.them or by explaining their meaning. He started the evening with the Janis Joplin favorite, "Me and Bobby McGee," and followed that with an original song, "They Still Holler Boogie." He explained that he'd been the opening act at several concerts, an act which served to "get all tlie frisbees out of the audience" before the main act came on stage. This song expressed how he felt in such a situation ,.... almost as if he wanted to "put the guitar away and become a Buddhist monk.' ' Another song was about the fear of telling someone you like them, because they might hot like you. · Bacon called this one, "Orange Juice on Ice." At first, this title may not make much sense, but it is explained in these lines, "I didn't think she liked me/Well she thought I was kind of nice/Like orange juice on ice." In a lighter tone, Bacon next played a count~y and western song he'd written. He told the audience that he used to be a songwriter for a publishing company in Nash,Ville, so he felt that he should turn out at least one country song a year. He jokingly said that there are three things necessary for a song to quality as country and western : you have to play the guitar with a flat pick; the song must make reference to the consumption of alcoholic beverages; and the song should have a somewhat clever title. As an example of such a title, he considers "Red Necks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer" as a classic. His own song is called "Arkansas Seessaw" about an unfaithful girlfriend. While he was still in Nashville, he wrote what he says is a "very distasteful, demeaning song," called "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut," about a guy who has just broken up with his girlfriend, and is on the rebound. In the song, he is speaking to his new girlfriend. Why is the song so distasteful? A few lines should give you some idea: "Speak to me with your body, leave your mind at home .. .I just need a temporary crutch - you're just second string... That doesn't mean I don't like you, but if she ever comes back, You're back on the street." But to be fair, he followed this song with "The Way He Looks at You," about a guy who likes a girl who is going out with someone else. No matter how much he tries to convince the girl he's the right guy for her, she remains unconvinced. Bacon played all the songe mentioned above on the guitar, but he also played two songs on the cello, "Let It Be Me" and "Send in the Clowns." Although he handled the cello well, this instrument overpowered his voice, making it difficult to hear the words of the songs. Wilkes Initiates Arl Program • 'T At The Sordoni Arl Gall~_ry Wilkes has initiated a unique art appreciation program in its continuing commitment to community enrichment. Within the college, the Sordoni Gallery is operated for both campus and community on a yearround basis with all exhibits offered free of charge. The exhibits have a scope that is impressive and ineludes names such as The Immortal Eight, Franz Klein, Mary Cassat, Celcilia Beaux, Martha Walter and soon. Cara Berryman, exhibitions coordinator for the Gallery, was always aware of the interest shown by the community for the Gallery and, in her capacity as coordinator, found herself answering questions about · theworksondisplay. Because of the obvious interest and the obvious lack of information aboutartistsandtheirworks,Mrs. Berryman decided to begin a docent program which would enrich and educate volunteers from the community in art apprecitation and then return these volunteers to the community to conduct tours and discuss visuals with visitors to the Sordoni Gallery. This, Mrs. Berryman thought, would also be an -excellent method to stimulate art interest in children on the elementary and secondary level in the city's schools. It has proven highly successful. The docent training program, comparatively new, has already been responsible for approximately 45 tours through the Gallery and several requests from local schools and senior citizens groups to tour the facility.Mrs. Berryman hopes that other colleges which house these small museums will look into the very successful and rewarding plan to bring art to the community atlarge. ii 1> ~ 1. , The second half of the coffeehouse had a mixture of humorous and serious songs, as in the first half. One of the serious songs, "Through the Eyes of Children" had been written a few years ago, but as Bacon commented, · "Unfortunately, it's still true." One line in the song best sums up its meaning, "Aren't we a silly sight-trying to teach between wrong and right to the eyes of children." An interesting and thoughtful song was "Bill Moline," which asked the question, "Were songs made to make money, or were songs made to sing? " This was a question Bacon had often asked himself, and had thought about quite a bit. In the song, he tells of a boy named Bill Moline who had an old guitar and wanted to sing one of Bacon's songs to him. At first, Bacon didn't think that Bill would sing very well, and in fact, Bill really didn't sing the melody the way that Bacon had, but he knew the words well enough. But more important to Bacon was that in singing the song, Bill had given him a little bit of fame. It's not too hard to guess how Bacon would answer the question of the song. The final song was one of the most thought-provoking of the evening. Entitled "The Beauty of It All," it was about Bacon's own . father and how he and his father had different ideas about what. he should do with his life. This was relevant to a lot of people jn the audience since everyone at one time or another has had a conflict with his parents that created some tension. Or as Bacon sings, "Every . time our eyes would meet/We'd find more of our wall/ And I'd look away and wonder/About the beauty of it all." The coffeeshouse went over well. The audience enjoyed Bacon's performance, possibly because he is somehow able to propose some thought-provoking questions in his songs without being depressing. Or maybe it was just because he provided some good, no-frills entertainment.

Summary In the past several weeks, all of the majors at this institution have • been examined in an attempt to -·-~ -- ---Why --Walk -- -Downtown -- - --- --~ to Play Games I ~ : discover why certain majors are more popular than others. It was shown that students C3Jl find jobs no matter what major they select. However, certain . m'ajors in technical or pre-professional areas are selected because they lead to a specific job opportunity. . Many of the department chairmen felt that there has been an over-emphasis on finding jobs. They have stated that the students should be in college to get an educalion which could be used as a foundation for a variety of occupations. Th· · t · b k d b th f t is pom is ac e up Y e ac that many people change occupations several times during their lives. Also, many peopJ ! find satisfying work in areas not related to their field of study. The fact remains, however, that those areas with the largest numbers of majors - biology, business administration, accounting, engineering, nursing and computer science - all prepare students for jobs in fields with good job opportunities, or for graduate programs in fields with good job opportunities. Many of the liberal arts majors, however, -are not often associated with specific job opportunities, and as a result, are not often selected by job conscious students. The sciences, for the most part, are able to attract a stable number of majors who, upon graduation, enter graduate scfiools or find jobs in their fields. In conclusion, it has been seen that the student's major is not the most important thing in finding a job. Students should choose majors in areas that interest them. In the end, job opportunities depend on the person, not his major.

Over fifty guidance counselors from high schools, colleges and junill'r colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania were in attendance. · As a result of the recently passed Federal legislation dealing with financial aid programs, the fouryear limitation on Basic (Pell) Grant eligibility has been changed. Now, students may continue to receive this grant assistance until graduation or completion of degree requirements. This change is especially meaningful to students who have changed majors during their educational careers and who now must spend a ninth semester-or even a fifth yearat the College in order to complete their new programs. Studens who have_progressed at the rate of 12 ••••• credits a semester will also be affected. While those studenfs would formerly have qualified for eight semester grant payments and then exhaust their eligibility, they now may coritinue to use Basic (Pell) Grant assistance until graduation. · There has been no change in the progression requirement-in other words, students must continue to accumulate 24 credits for each year of grant assistance received in order to remain eligible for the following academic year. -Two other changes were made in the program : The Basic Grant Program was renamed the Pell Grant Program, honoring Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, who was instrumental in designing much of the Federal student-aid legislation. Secondly, the maximum grant ceilings will increase to $1900 in 1981-82, $2100 in 1982-83, $2300 in 1983-84, $2500 in 1984-85, and $2600 in 1985-86.

Their memories were kept alive by the first annual Sports Card and Memorabilia show. Remember those cards you used to flip in your grade school years? One of those cards can now be worth up to $13,000. Maybe that is the reason why card collecting is one of the fastest growing hobbies in America today. Over 3,000 people from across the country showed up to bring back old memories of opening that fresh pack of cards with the bubble gum inside. As one card enthusiast noted, "This is the only place I know where you can see almost every player that lived in the same place at the same time." Bruce Stauber and his wife were one of the 20 owners who tried to sell some of their prized card and souveneirs. "I have close to a million cards and can sell them for as much as a thousand times of what I paid for them." Mr. Stauber said that money is not the only reason he is selling his cards. "I sell them so other people can start a collection of their own." All of the owners were extremely nice and patient with the packed crowd. They were just happy that so many people took an interest in their collection. Some people became so interested that they decided to sneak a few cards in their pockets without 1pay~ng. 1 At the end of the day an auction was held for many items ranging from autographs to a baseball bat used by Lou Pinella of the New York Yankees. The prices were so high that only three items were sold. It's not every day that a person is willing to spend $150 for a 1951 Wille Mays or $75 for a 1948 Jackie Robinson, especially if the owner . paid less than a penny for it. Aside from the quiet auction, many cards were sold. It went so well that an ector, Joe Sa, decided that there will be another show at the Host in April. So check your old collections and if you find a 1910 Honus Waimer, you are now $13,000 ric~er. Boil Buchsbaum 1\o\and"'--, .

This year was not a good year for the Blue and Gold under the direction of veteran coach Rollie Schmidt. The season had a bad look about it right from the opening week of practice. The loss of key players due to academic ?r personal reasons, the loss of experienced players due to practice in1ur1es, a~d the lack of a number one quarterback gave Coach Schmidt headaches before the first Saturday afternoon game. The Colonels started off the year with 'five staight losses before picking up their first win over F.D.U. Madison. After their sixth loss, to Ramapo Coll~ge, the team pulled together and chalked up two more victories, includmg a last second thriller over Susquehanna University. The sqaud finished the season with three wins and six losses, a record which one would not boast about. Earlier in the year, I attempted to put the problems of the Colonels into perspective by addressing some of the mistakes made by the players and coaches on and off the field. I still hold firm on the comments I made about the team and coaching staff in that column, but I will not rehash, or shall I say "rethrash," those issues again. Rather, in this column I would like to com~ent on the most important part ofthe Colonel football program, the team itself. Watching the performance of the defesne over the entire year, I must admit that it had the potential of being the best in the league. The defensive line was outstanding in every game, doing all that can be asked of a group ef players. Led by co-captain Ed Mollahan, the defensive line was the one constant bright spot for Colonel fans. Time after time, the line stopped opponents from grinding out yardage on the ground, forcing them to go to the air for yardage. If running backs did break through the line, they received a rude welcome in the ar ms of the very competent Colonel linebackers. The linebackers were always there to break up a short pass, add pressure to the opposing quarterback, and provide that added hit to stop an opponent's third and one drive. The linebackers also joined in with the defensive line to give the entire team the kind of spirit and drive which has been a regular ' part of Colonel squads. During the season, the defensive unit was the first to "p~yche" themselves out for a game, and their enthusiasm appeared in their performa nce throughout the year. Although the defensive unit was the stable force behind the Colonel's program this season, the defensive secondary did have their problems. Numerous times when the line forced opposing teams to go to t he air, the result was better than. if they played it safe and stayed on the ground. Numerous times opposing teams scored on the Colonels by means of the long pass. Rick Byrd could have probably set a Lycoming school record that even Terry Bradshaw would not be able to break if the Lycoming coach had not taken him out in the third quarter. The Blue and Gold's defensive secondary left opposing receivers open too many times for a team to be successful. Not being destructive in my criticis m, but only fair to the rest of the squad, the secondary was, at best, below average this season ! The Colonel offensive unit really had their problems this year which undoubtedly accounts for the team's overall record. Except for a few bright spots on the unit, the offense was ineffective. Staying a_way from the problem of no number one quarterback on the team, in all fairness to those who tried to fill the signal-callers slot, they had no time to prove what they culd do. It is pretty hard for a quarterback to get off a good pass when a defensive line is in t he backfield before he gets a chance to look for his receivers. Thelack of protection for the qua rter back and the inability to open holes for Colonel running backs were two big problems for the offensive line all year. Numerous times Blue and Gold runners had to "earn it the hard way" as a result of the line's below a verage play. It should be noted that the 1 h_a ve _a few good games, but for a team to be even .500 on the year, 1·me d"d an offensive lme cannot be a sometimes force. One of the bright spots on the Colonel offense was receiver Tony Madden a former division I player. Madden's performance all year was that a divi~ sthion. I hplay t ethr, making dif~icult catches and important post catch runs roug ou e 1980 campaign. E ven though Colonel fa ns did not have a lot to cheer about this year, Madden's performances were a treat for any sports fan, regardless of team preference. It is truly hard to put the kind of season the Colonels had into any one ph_ras~ or w~rd_, but if any word comes close t? a description of the season, 1t 1s d1sappomtmg. The season was not only disappointing for the coac hes, players, and students of the college, but it was a let-down to all the fa ns in the jlrea who support the team in hope for a return to MAC supremecy.

For the second time in the Union's history, Dr. Bradford L. Kinney split his squads and sent one group to compete at the Towson State University H.L. Mencken Forens~ Tournament and the other squad to Southern Connectic State College's "Great Eastern No. 2" tournament. At the Southern Connectic tourney, eight Wilkes students competed for honors, with Linda Esrov carrying the team to victory with her rhetorical skills. Esrov won a finalists trophy in the area of Persuasive Discourse. Her competition consisted of speaking against 17 colleges and universities representing some of the best forensic schools in the nation, incuding the 1980 U.S. National Champions, George Mason University. LaSalle, St. Joseph and Southern Connectic rounded out the competition. Esrov received a perfect score in one of her rounds. The other half of "Kinney's Kids" traveled to the Maryland university of Towson, Baltimore, Marylan · where more than nineteen instit.. tions gathered for three days of competition. Jon Pliskin won a 4th place trophy for Extemporaneous Speaking and a 3rd place trophy for the newest forensic event, Impromptu-Extemporaneous Orations. Darlene Schaffer was also victvrious for the Debate Union . Schaffer captured the first place trophy in the field of Salesmanship Oratory. She also took an additional award when she won 3rd place in an area of Speech-Forensic competition - Rhetorical Criticism. This event consists of taking a speech and analyzing · it with a set methodology to determine if the discourse was effective or not. and to apply the method in an oral fashion as a form of critical analysis. Schaffer analyzed Congressman Guy Vander Jagt's 1980 Republican Key Note Address. In all, 37 schools competed ffl ffl • ffl ffl ON THE COVER Special thanks to Michele Fidrych for creating this week's cover by capturing each · member of the editorial staff.

This semester has seen the Union up its awards to 29 trophies for the semester, including the 2nd place National Discussion Award.

All of the awards were won while attending only five tournaments. The team currently is making plans for their first tournament of 1981 which will be in Vermont. Traffic C o u n c i l - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Two Com p Iain f S Heard Got a parkiug ticket you really don't think you deserve? Have a complaint about parking on campus? If so, there's a group that is willing to listen and possibly help. The group is the Traffic Council and they serve as a grievance committee that handles all on-campus traffic complaints. The council is made up of two people representing administration and faculty, and several students. So far this year, the council has heard t\yo complaints about traffic problems. The first complaint centers on people who park in areas where they shouldn't and leave a note at- · tached to their car stating that the car has broken down. According to Frank Daniele, "In this specific case the girl's car was broken down and that she had receipts nofing the condition of the car. However, there are too many people that think by writing a note and sticking it on their car they will not get a ticket. That's not true. If a person's car breaks down he should contact the personnel office and inform them of the broken down car. The person should then make an effort to move the broken down car. If the car is ticketed, then the person should get in contact with the traffic council." Daniele serves as the IRHC Work Study Program Offered On _C ampus---- 775 Students Currently Participating Are you a blue or a white? No, this is not a personal question asking what your favorite color of your best-looking t-shirt is. This question pertains to a very important way to obtain money. Wilkes College participates in the College Work-Study Program in conjunction with the federal government. This program allows students to work part-time while attending classes. It offers students valuable work experience while attaining the necessary academics needed to graduate in their own particular major fields. According to Richard Raspen, Financial Aid Director, "There are roughly 775 students particiapting in this program." Raspen noted that there are basically two types of work-study - blue and white card. The only difference between the blue and white card programs is that the college pays for all of the blue card wages, while the federal government pays for 80 percent of the white card students' incpme. Wilkes College pays the remaining money." · In terms of who can be eligible for the work-study program, Raspen pointed out that any student can work on blue card, but only students that show financial need can work on the white card. . As for the steps involved in getting in the program, Raspen said it is quite simple. "First the student would go to the Financial Aid Office, located in the lower level ·of Weckesser Hall, and request that his eligibility be checked. Once this is done, the student (if qualified) can be placed in the work-study program _and can work in any department provided that the department needs help." Students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during regular class periods. During breaks and in the summer, the student is allowed to work up to 40 hours per week. In the past,. students were paid 85 percent of the minimum wage, but as of Oct. 1, 1980, students were ~iven a Student Government . Members Carol At Valley Crest: No Office Hours During Finals The last Student Government meeting of the semester was held Monday night. It was only about 20 minutes long, making it the shortest meeting of the semester. After the meeting, the representatives and officers boarded a bus rand headed to Luzerne County's Valley Crest Nursing Home where they entertained the residents by singing Christmas carols. Galli announced that the committee dealing with student advising will make specific recommendations to the department chairmen and faculty. Details on those recommendations will be diSC\!SSed at the first meeting next semester. The SG president noted that the administration is currently prep'aring a statement on the Stark regulations. SG should know what the administration plans to do about that situation by the end of this week. Galli said that there will be no student government office hours during exams. Rob Doty noted that people are not taking down signs they have posted. He also warned not to post signs on glass surfaces. Joe Galli added that he has ripped down several signs from glass doors· and noted that faculty are expected to · abide the same rules. Louis Czachor raise up to the minimum wage of $3.10 per hour. Students on the work-study pogram will also be glad to hear ·that starting Jan. 1, 1981, the minimum W;lge will increase to $3.25 an hour. Students interested in more information about the work-study program or other financial aid programs should contact the Financial Aid Office at ext. 420 anytime before4:30p.m. Darlene Schaffer Sigma XI Inducts Two Associate Members The Wilkes Chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, recently held its first initiation ceremony at which two 1980 graduates, Michael Otruba and David Sapak, were inducted into the organization as associate members. Sigma Xi is a national honor · society whose principal purpose is to promote research in engineering, physical and certain social sciences. Students who show outstanding potential . .in undergraduate research are eligibile for associate membership, if after nomination by their major departments, they meet associate membership criteria. Otruba was recognized for his undergraduate research on the bioelectric membrane potentials in frog muscles. Otruba did his research under the direction of Dr. Wilbur Hayes, a member of the biology faculty. Sapak was ·a member of ·an engineering research team, which under the direction of Dr. Umid Nejib and Dr. John Orehotsky, engineering faculty, investigated solar cells. representative and Maruita Gries serves as the CC representative. The second situation the council had to look into was one that centered parking stickers. "Students should not assume that if they have a permit for one semester that that particular IRHC student will also automatically have a parking permit for the -next semester. Resident students are required to re-apply every semester for parking stickers. Unless students re-apply they will not get another parking sticker." Daniele noted that the deadline for the reapplication of stickers is before the · fall semester ends. Students wishing to · obtain applications should contact the IRHC office, the housing office or their RA. Once applications have been filled out, students should return them to the IRHC office. · Maurita Gries noted that the procedure is somewhat different for commuters. Commuting students do not need to re-apply. If, there are any available parking spaces open for the Spring semester, all forms will be ·re-evaluated for those openings. Commuter Council will make the decision and students will be informed by mail whether or not they will receive a parking permit. Daniele notes that IRHC parking will be posted the Friday we come back to Wilkes for the Spring semester. If a problem should arise over parking, remember there is a group that may be able to help: Traffic Council hears all complaints and then goes on record with their decision. Students may also like to know that they can also appeal the decision of the traffic control and go to a higher body, Student Affairs.

If their efforts are fruitful, SG will be able to · boast of great accomplishments. However, much work remains to be done if SG is to reach its goals. Student Government has done much work this semester, and its leaders are • responsible for initiating this work. Immeidately after bis election to the office of SG President, Joe Galli took on the responsibilities of the office and began working toward achieving his many goals for this year. After the election of the other officers, Marla Brodsky, VicePresident; Al Wirkman, Corresponding Secretary; Elaine Kerchusky, Recording Secretary; ":ind Tom Rooney, Treasurer, and the appointment of Ana Nunez as Parliamentarian, the student leaders spent a long and busy summer preparing for what would hopefully be a year of growth and · accomplishment. The year began with hope_as SG began working in many areas, but as the semester continued, work on SG's projects slowed. This is probably partically due to the large amount of "red tape" which is encountered whenever anyone tries to get anything done at this college. Hopefully, things will get moving , soon and SG will be able to finish most of its projects before the end of the academic year. preparing his treasury report. It would be nice to get a written treasury report each week, complete with a listing of expenditures since the previous week. It wouldn't take up much space and could be added to the end of the secretary's minutes i{ necessary. SG should give no financial excuses for not having a written report. After all, they have enough money to make Xerox copies of their agendas. So that's where our $50 activity fee went. Parliamentarian . Ana Nunez is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on SG when it comes to leadership and relations with others. Nunez becomes an expert at everything she does and her presence lends an air of excellence to SG. Perhaps she should use her authority as parliamentarian a little more to make sure that everything is done by the books. Committees The Academic Committee, chaired by Ana Nunez and Dana Schaffer, has kept SG aware of the workings of the Academic Standards Committee, and has sought the body's advice on issues of importance to the student body and the quality of education at the college. The committee has looked into student rights and led SG in adopting a statement on student rights. Recently the committee has begun an investigation of the college bookstore. The Film Committee, chaired by Elaine Kerchusky, has been successful in scheduling and showing Leadership several films this semester.

He should reconsider because we all have a right to know what the representatives are doing, and the Beacon can not keep tabs on all of them at all times. It does seem that, so far, all of the representatives have been doing their jobs, but some could offer more at the meetings. Probably Student Government's greatest failure this semester has · been its inability to work with the Beacon to keep the college informed. Hopefully the break between semesters will give birth to a spirit of cooperation. Working within the limits of publication deadlines and time requirements for story assignments, SG can use the press to its a.dvantage and therefore help the students of the college and student government itself. When that happens, if it ever happens - it never did in the past - then Student Government will truly be a successful student governing organization.

The in• dependent committees are really a must and the apartment committee sounds like a definite step forward in the right direction. The monthly coffeehouses are very special and I hope that more people can enjoy them. A proposed idea to also include mini-seminars during activi· ty periods by various clubs also sounds great. I have never seen a semester "packed" with so many activities that students actually had an event to go to almost every day. Undoubtedly the major success of Commuter Council this semester was not the parties Ol'. the special events. Rather, the major success of Council was in its ability to care about people.

It can work better if there is a joint ef· fort ." Now before you believe that I'm out to put a knife in IHRC's back and let CC just walk away feeling that all their problems center on IRHC, just wait. CC is not an angel by any means. For the third analysis in a row, Commuter Coun• ell must be reminded of the term "off the record." Off the record is a gentleman's term that has no legal binding. If a person wishes to make a comment that he does not want the press to print, usually the term is stated BEFORE the person. makes the statements he wants off the record. Making a statement and then after it saying "that's off the record" is meaningless. Learn when to use the term correctly, please. It also seems like CC has forgot· ten about some projects that it has · already had on the books. More work is in order on the Red Cross Gate situation. Please don't give up on all commuters on the basis of the stupidity of a few. Try to sponsor another ice skating party, more bus trips and perhaps an area concert. In addition, meet with local city government officials and have your parking ideas endorsed. Your idea to work with Wilkes-Barre City Council on the parking situation is a great idea, now make it a reality.

Final exams begin on Monday though it appears no one is really prepared. It seems , that the semester has flown by so very fast, allowing little time for us to complete all that we so sincerely pledged ourselves to in September. Despite the short time span, the goals, objectives and beliefs of the Beacon have not been compromised. In an atmosphere of fairness and responsibility the Beacon has succeeded in fulfilling what I believe the three purposes of a college paper are: to keep the student body informed about campus developments, to stimulate the college's intellectual climate and to provide an introductio.n to good journalistic principles for staff members. In several short months, many of our ,staff members, including myself, will leave the secure, warm cocoon called Wilkes College and • venture out into what some call the "real world." Fortunately for us, the Beacon not only provided an outlet for journalistic abilities, but also testing ground for our wings ; for if we su<:ceed in soaring to new heights when we leave college, then we will know that our trials and errors here were not in vain. Additionally, while testing our wings, so to speak, the press in the "real world" of Wilkes College has fulfilled as many responsibilities as the press in any community in the country. The most important role of the press in a democratic society is to provide readers with the information they need to participate in the governance of their community. Has the Beacon succeeded in informing students about events within the Wilkes community? Considering our limited budget and inexperienced staff, I think our reporting has been re&ponsible, truthful and coherent. There are problems, of course. No student organization or club on campus believes we give them enough coverage. Many times this is very discouraging because it seems that they would rather we provide them with unlimited free space and let them propagandize themselves to death. Of course this alternative would save our staff a lot of work, but it is not what a college paper is supposed to do. '" Naturally we promote campus events, but the Beacon is not and should not be allowed to become a mouthpiece for the public relations directu , v i each organization. If the Beacon is to be an effective training ground for future journalists, then there is no place for the blind accep- tance of blatant propaganda. Sometimes, unfortunately, the imbalance of our coverage reflects daily realities more than journalistic principles. The reasons range from a lack of interested students ( a seemingly rampant disease on this campus), to the "real world" of exams and papers from which editors are not exempt. However, these reasons have not prevented us from still · maintaining our standards in fair coverage. The strengths of the Beacon , however, are more important than the weaknesses, for it is on the strengths that we build to become even stronger in order to help correct our weaknesses. We cover issues that affect student life · at Wilkes including such areas as the possibility of a new dorm, the historical significance of college buildings (or lack there of), changes in administrative responsibilities and the consequences of campus vandalism. · While in the "real world" I am sure that I will look back on my days as Editor-in-Chief with a feeling of satisfaction despite many setbacks, obstacles, frustrating roadblocks and insufficient sleep. I know it is one of the most - if not the most important opportunity and responsibility I have ever had. I think the Beacon has done an admirable job of informing its community. Its services to the college community are those which would make any "real" newspaper proud. These ac. complishments make me very proud to have been associated with the Beacon for the past two and one half years. Finally, please allow me to indulge in a little well deserved thanks to some very special people. First, to the staff - your efforts will not be forgotten. Also, thanks to Dr. Schulmaa for all of her time and energy, especially in some difficult situations. Thanks to Mr. Capih and the Trustees for their time at a re· cent meeting. To the professor who understands and who promises to kick my butt if I need it - thanks, you made it a little easier. A special thanks to my family and friends, especially M.O. and Ziggy for listening to the ravings of an editor. La~t but not least, thanks to all the expert knife-throwers who made it possible for our staff members to activate every metal detector from WilkesBarre to San Francisco.

There is life at Wilkes College. The Wilkesian, dementedus banalis, has numerous habitats including do the second floor of the Student Center and Stark lobby. The life style of beast is highly organized into a series of events that would be consi simple by Cro-Magnon man. The group is selected by an arduousproc mysteriously apathetic standards.

And because were presented in this way, the of the people here was left to decision, and the characters play were subject to ridicule. graves, one came to realize the meaning of the word "disaster. " But what perhaps had the most impact was not the action onstage, but the pictures that were flashed on the screens which were suspended high above the stage. On these screens were pictures of homes, streets and the dike, right before and after the flood . Seeing these pictures had a profound effect, particularly if one thought of the familiar places one now sees, and realized that at one time, they were under water and mud. The story told in the play was not a •difficult one to follow . Basically, it was about a family (-supposedly typical of the Valley) who experienced the tragedy of a death because of the flood . The father, played by Bill Keba, owned a tavern and enjoyed a comfortable home life with his wife, played by Betsy Keller. They have two children, Chip, played by Chris Lonstrup, and Beth, played by Diane Hartdagen. Beth is engaged to Bobbie DeGalio, portrayed by Phil Ross. On the day of the flood, Mike and Bobby are busy setting up for Bobby's bachelor party. Chip goes off to play in his treehouse near th~ river, and when the flood warnings are announced, Beth goes to look for her·borther. She subsequently drowns in the flood. Throughout the play, a narrator, Tom Butcher, sets the scene and supplies the audience with details about what ·is happening or what will happen. He also attempts to warn the characters about the im- pending flood, asking them to help him pile the sandbags on the dike, but they will not listen to him, not allowing themselves to believe there will be a flood. When the danger of the flood becomes areality, and everyone is busy piling the sandbags high on the dike, the narrator refuses to help anymore, explaining that this is all history and he must record it. There also two ghosts in the play. One is that of J1mes Wilkes, played by Fred Krome. Wilkes complains of having had his tombstone stolen from his grave, in which he had been buried many years ago. At various times during the play, Wilkes storms on stage, shouting · wildly for his tombstone to be returned. It is a little difficult to define the function of this ghost in the play. Eventually, he, or rather, his body, ends up in a woman's hall closet as one of the corpses that was uprooted and relocated by the water. He does provide some comic relief, even at times when such relief was unnecessary or even out of place. He probably also serves as symbol, representing the old Wilkes-Barre before the flood . At least twice he even says that maybe the · flood would. have its advantages, because the people would be able to build a better city than they had ever had before. The other ghost in the play is that of Beth after she had drowned. She appears at her own funeral, in the white gown she would have worn at her wedding. She observes her parents and friends mourning over her grave, and follows them back fo her parents' tavern. Here, everyone who had been at the funeral is given a beer, after which all the/characters seem to promptly forget they had just been at a funeral. Within minutes, everyone is polka dancing for the second time in the play. The only character who is allowed to retain some sort of sensitivity is Bobby, who leaves, because he now feels that nothing is left for him there. than to any lack of talent on the part of the actors and actresses. Of the performers, Chris Lonstrup was the most believable as the mischievous Chip. "The Flood" was significant in that it recorded, if only partially, the experience of the people of an THE CAST OF "THE FLOOD" - Frank Kren leads the cast in a song while the "ghosts" of James Wilkes and Beth Malinowski look on. The play did have its impact, and did partially accomplish its purpose - that of expressing the experience of the flood . However because of poor characteristics of the people involved, some of the impact was lost. The acting itself was not memorable, but that was due more to the quality of the script area hit by what then President Nixon called "the worst natural disaster in the history of the country." It is only unfortunate that the true emotion of the people of the Valley was so poorly represented.

Artists have long been aware of the importance that paper plays in the effect of the overall image. They have traditionally used tinted papers, unusual margins, textured papers and other variations to complement the image or text on the surface. The concern which artists have today, though not unrelated to the traditional awareness of paper as a surface, is different; it goes beyond the traditional Western use of paper. Many contemporary artists have a new involvement with paper. In some cases their definition of paper is no longer limited to a flat sheet upon which one laces images or prints with type. Instead, • they work with paper as a pliab~e, flexible medium having a variety of aesthetic qualities which can.be used also on or with other media to produce a visual statement. In some cases the artists make their own paper or collaborate with professional papermakers in order to capitalize on and control some or all of its special qualities. This exhibition is a statement about paper and its many significnt uses in the current artistic vocabulary. "Paper as Medium" is a comtemporary look at artists throughut the country who are using paper as medium in its broadest definition. In five years, the concept of paper as medium will no longer be relevant. The exhibition is a statement about paper and the many direct 'roles which it is playing in the cur. rent artistic vocabulary of expres. sion. Each artist in the exhibition comes from his perspective and often works independently of any "movement." "UNDAUNTED" - from the next Art Gallery exhibit, "Paper as Medium," is another example of the unusual works in this exhibit. The exhibit will be at the gallery from December 14 until January II. It is on loan from the Smithsonian. Within recent printmaking history there are several practices which demonstrate a growing desire to utilize paper in a new, more broadly-defined manner. The use of impressed textures and deeply-etched imagers, thn, . dimensinal prints of special created paper, multiple deckles and other techniques indicate that an interest in nontraditiona.1 uses of paper was growing in the 1950s and 1960s and logically led to the jntense activity · traditional ritual. for artists.

Another extremely important factor which has affected the use of paper as medium is the Oriental sensibility and orientation to paper. In Japan, the use of handmade paper has traditionally been more integrated into the general . aesthetics and culture. Because of its use for many functional objects, Japanese papers have long been prized for their strength, delicate appearance, subtle coloring, response to nature and translucency. The mixed media, collage or assemblage quality is something which runs throughout the exhibition, and is one of the chief attractions which working with paper has "Celebration" Auditions ·Scheduled For January _ Floods and fairies give way to singers and dancers in "Celebration," the musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, which is scheduled as the next production of the Wilkes College Theatre. The musical, which portrays the battle between winter and summer, old age and youth, • cynicism and idealism, lust and love, will be presented in the CPA on February 20, 21 and 22, 1981. , Plans are already underway for the show, and Dr. Michael O'Neill, who will direct and choreograph "Celebration," has announced thatauditions for the play will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, J anuary 14 and 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the CPA. "The play's title is a good indication of the type of show 'Celebration' is," said Dr. O'Neill. "It's a celebration of theatre, and we'll be looking for people who can help us make the stage of the CPA into a two-hour musical circus." Consequently, Dr. O'Neill said that at auditions he will want anybody who might ·fit one or more of the following descriptions: singer, dancer, actor, musician, gymnast, acrobat, body-builder, juggler, magician. The musical directpr for "Celebration" is Professor Richard Chapline of the music department. "Celebration" has four principal singing roles - three male and one female - and a chorus of revelers who take part in all but two songs in the show. In addition, people interested in working backstage on "Celebra- tion" should also plan now to sign up on January 14 and 15. "The show is technically very challgening," Dr. O'Neill stated, "so we will need a number of people backstage to help with costumes, props and the set." "Celebration" is set in a contemporary city on New Year's Eve. There, at a party for the very rich, an innocent young orphan and , a wealthy, burnt-out old man named Rich battle for the favors of an ambitious young actress, Angel. Overseeing all, in i.he dual role of cynical bum and priestly narrator, is Potemkin, who invites the au0 dience to join the revelers in the ancient story and become a part of th·e inevitable cycle of life. -There will be a Freshman Class Meeting today a, 12 oo p m. in H of Stark.

Either way it is Cooperative Education, or Co-op as it is often referred to. Co-op is a process of education which formally integrates a student's academic studies with productive work experience in employing organizations. Essentially, the word "Cooperative" is used to mean a cooperative relationship between the employer and the college. Through alternating semesters of full-time study and full-time professional work experience, students enhance their academic knowledge, their personal development, their over-all vision, as well as their professional preparation. The faculty, the Co-op staff and the employers share in the ed~ational process. According to Cheryl Gibson of the Office of Cooperative Education, the program has no disadvantages, but several advantages. Besides the benefits already noted, the program allows students to "put theory into practice while giving the student a sense of accomplishment as well as financial rewards. Students are better socially adjusted and they continue to grow in their personal interest, while at the same time advancing their careers." As for the step-by-step approach to the program, Mrs. Gibson noted that interested sophomores, juniors and seniors may apply for Co-op as long as they have permission from their department head and from their faculty advisor. Students must also maintain a minimum of an overall 2.00 average. If students qualify, then they are able to apply for the program. The applications are relatively easy to fill out and are to be returned to the Co-op office upon completion. Students are then interviewed by the Cooperative Education staff as to their attitudes, qualifications and interests. Selected students are then referred to an employer who, in turn, makes the final decision. I I Since students may alternate a term of study with a term of work, two students may be assigned to the same position. _While o_ne is in school, the other 1s on the Job allowing the employer to keep the co-op position filled year-round. The Co-op staff is now accepting applications for the spring and summer semesters. Employers are presently sending requests for stu~ents to work during these ti'!le periods. Some of the potential employers are: Owens Illinois, Chamber of Comemrce, American Red Cross, Messiah Nursery School, WVIA, United Rehabilitation Services, PP&L, Times Leader and the Wyoming Historical Society. A monthly newsletter is put out by Co-op to all interested students thinking of taking Co-op. The newsletter contains a listing of potential employers. Once a student is accepted for Coop and is placed, the student will be required to turn in weekly journals measuring the student's objectives, work experience and his learning experience. Students will also have to turn in a term project which in the past have been anyt~_ing from a slide presentation to making a brochure. Students will be graded by the faculty advisor coordinator for their particular department on the regular grade system. Some of the faculty coordinators and their departments are EnglishCommunication- Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Comemrce and FinanceMr. De Young, Political ScienceDr. Shaw and Biology-Ors. Doty and Ogren. Statistically, over 95 percent of Co-op students are compensated for their work experience. During the past summer, more than $23,000 was earned by our students, with an average income of over $1,600 . (Figures include full and part time placements). Interested students thinking of Co-op should contact the Co-op Office located at the rear of 34 south River Street on the second floor, or call 826-0489 or 824-4651, Ext. 205.

Our relationship is in a state of continual improvement." She added that they also have good contact with the deans and administration. The tutoring is free, and any Act 101 participant whose grades fall below a "2.0" average is re uired to receive tutoring. The striving for an education manifests itself in ways that vary with each individual, and at Act 101 this is clear. The 120 participants range from wrestlers to a team of a mother and her two daughters. Although the program d~als largely with financially disadvantaged students, this is not always the case. Some students are parents who are returning to school for the education they missed while raising a family. Some participants are the fir:st generation of the family to attei:id college. " Sometimes, at first, parents are reluctant to allow their sons or daughters to enter the program. They feel they should be out in the 'real world' working and earning a living," remarked Ms. McGuiness, " but eventually they see the value of the program and encourage their children to join, realizing an education is an opportunity that should not be missed." · The Cultural Encounters Club, sponsored by the student government, provides the students with an opportunity to attend a cultur:ai event in the spring. Suzette Dyanick, president of the club, suggested that the group may travel to New York to see a Broadway play. To afford this goal, the club is sponsoring a number of fund-raising ac- tivites 'during the year. But the officers stressed that the participation of Act 101 members is essential. "An added incentive to join the club," Dyanick pointed out, " is that in the agreement between the student and the contract for the Basic Education Opportunity Grant, the student must join and be active in at least one club or he could lose his grant. " The officers are Sue Vespico, vice president ; Lisa Carini, secretary; Elizabeth Collins, treasurer ; and Carol Buchman, tutoring co-ordinator. Buchman is a senior psychology major working with Act 101 through a cooperative education internship. In addition to her club activities, she assists in the tutoring program and various counseling activites. The club constructed a Homecoming display and are presently making arrangements for a Christmas party. Discussing the importance of the Act 101 student participation in the club, Dyanick made an offhand remark that seem~s to sum up the theme of the program, "We can't spell success without you.''

Jt is the code name for Act 101, a program which helps academically or economically under-prepared students to achieve their personal and educational goals. The five people are Wilkes Students and officers of the Cultural Encouters Club, which is an integral part of the program. Act 101 was made possibly by the Pennyslvania Higher Education Equal Opportunity Act of 1971 and its services ara free to students. The program is designed to assist students from financially disad-· vantaged families who may have low high school grades or college board scores. The program provides many valuable services to students, such as counselling and tutoring. Academic, personal, and financial counselling are available to participants in the program. Counselor Joan McGuiness commented that these and "various other services will enable our students to have a :mccessful college career." Tutoring is available to students experiencing difficulty in a specific course and the assistance is given upon request. In addition to students requesting tutorial services on their own initiative, deans, counsellors and faculty members may make referrals. The faculty is contacted periodically to evaluate Act 101 students enrolled in their courses. Ms. McGuiness is en- · thusiastic about the faculty's John Finn Book and Record Mart 11 S. Main St • .

COPUS· Wilkes is working to prevent this from happening. "We are lobbying hard for this project," said Joe Knox, executive director of the group. "We have written letters to every_ Congress~an and Senator in Washington askmg · them to fully fund the various student loan and grant programs. " COPUS has ad· dressed and composed letters to the 100 senators and 435 congressmen to get the funding that student_s need. " It was a lot of work but 1t was worth it,-" said Knox . · Last year, the maximum award given out for the BEOG program was $1,750. This year, that figure was supposed to rise to $1 ,800 ; however, with the passage of HR 5192, that figure was autlfflrized at $1,900. The House's First Concurrent Budget Resolution assumes full funding for BEOG at the maximum award level of $1,800 and in• eludes $2.1 billion for the funding of the program in FY 81. Since the passage of that first resolution, several things have happened which necessitate increases. First it has become apparent that there will be a deficit of between $250 and $300 million from the FY 80 appropriation of $2.122 billion and the actual FY 80 costs of approximately $2.4 billion. In order to cover this shortfall, the Department of Education will have to take funds that were initially designated for the FY 81 BEOG program. . Second, the Congress1onal Budget Office (CBO), who aids Congress in the determining of funding levels, estimates that to fully fund an $1,800 maximum award is $2 .561 billion. This is $461 million above the estimate included in the House's First Budget Resolution. Based on FY 80 shortfall and the revised estimates, an additional $800 million is needed to assure a fully funded $1 ,800 BEOG pr?gra~Unless the budget committee m· eludes this $800 million increase, the level of funding would force a di:as~ic reduction ~hich _would ehmmate many middle mcome students and substantially reduce awards to needy students. The ef· fects of such a level may well be the same as a return to the pre-Middle · Income Student Assistance Act (MISSA ) levels of eligibility could revert from $25,000 to $15,000 and drQp some 600,000 middle income students from the program . Third, HR 5192 (now Public Law 96-374 ) raised the FY 81 maximum award from $1,800 to $1 ,900. Payment of a $1,900 BEOG would cost approximately $168 million more than a $1,800 maximum. According to figures from the Governmental Relations office of the American Council on Education, unless this increase is provided, 107,000 current student recipients will lose their eligibility as inflation pushes them over the top range of eligibili· ty. The $1 ,900 maximum is also needed to protect needy students from the effects of inflation. In academic year 78-79 when the maximum grant as $1 ,800, it met 49 per- c~nt of average total costs of attendmg college; payment of the same maximum next year would only provide 38 percent of average total costs, and would be worth only $1,475 in FY 78 constant dollars. _ The problems facing the full funding of a $1,900 BEOG are even more compounded by the situation involving the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. The first budget resolution established by the House f~i!ed to take into considei:awm ad· d1tlonal FY 81 expense estimates of $500 million (as predicted by CBO) . However, the GSL program is an ~ntitle~ent program tha~ C?ngr~ss 1s required to supply vnhm1ted fm· ding. In other words, if every student in the US desired a GSL, Congress would be required to meet these costs. This could well mean disaster for other financial aid programs. Because Congress is required to fully fund the GSL program, the Budget Committee, rather than supply more funds to cover this deficit, will reportedly force the Appropriations Commit· tee to transfer funds from other aid programs, most notably from the BEOG program, to meet these costs. Steve Leitman, National Director and lobbyist fo~ COPUS, , commented, "With the passage of the Higher Education Act, it seemed apparent that Congress not only saw the need to not only keep current progr~ms, but was also willing to largely expand the Basie Grant program." Unfortunately, various cir· cumstances and budget restraints place federal financial-aid pro- grams in extreme jeopardy. The same programs documented above are also found, in a slightly varying degree, in the Senate's Second Concurrent Budget Resolution. Full fin· ding of the Basic Grant program, the main element of the entire federal financial-aid system, will not be possible wiless the members of the House and Senate Budget committees are persuaded of the importance of higher education, and shown the impact th~t their current budget proposals will have on campuses across the nation. To accomplish this goal, COPUS, and _ot~er . student . a~vocary organizations are estabhshmg lob· bying campaigns similar to the one at Wilkes in order to reach the Senat~rs and Representatives. The cornerstones of COPUS activities is student involvement Students are being asked to cont~ct their Congressmen as soon as possible and urge them to support funding for the $1 900 BEOG and GSL programs: Leitman emphasized "It is imperative that students ~ontact their representatives immediately to urge them to support full funding of the Basic Grant pro ram.,, The future of fe~eral financialaid programs appears bleak A concerned effort by students pr~sently appears to be the on! ho e. COPUS-Wilkes is helping tfprovide that effort. Graduate Degree Programs Offered In Business,Science And Education _It is not uncommon for a college graduate to find , after a few years in the real world, that for a variety of reasons he may not be satisfied with the education he received and will sometimes return to :a.chool in order to strengthen his knowledge in one area or to get a taste of another discipline. In order to accomodate the needs o·f such students, Wilkes offers several graduate degree programs in business administration, science, and education. The Master of Business Ad· ministration (M.B.Al, like the other graduate programs, provides the opportunity for completion· of degree requirements in one or two years of full time study, depending largely on the students background in the field. The M .B.A. is the most popular graduate degree at Wilkes, due to the large number of young . people entuing careers ;n the commercial market. Master of Science in Education degrees are offered in biology, chemistry, education, elementary education, English, · history, mathematics, physic·s, and special education. John Meyers, Director of Graduate Studies, says, "Students should not rule out education as a possible career because of the present over- supply of teachers. In fact, a few national surveys now show the likelihood of a shortage of teachers in the late 1980's." Here comes the Elephant! MASTER DISTRIBU'(OR CASE BEVERAGE CO. , Kingston,PA Imported by Century Importers, Inc . Ba ltimore , MC · �Page to, The Beacon, December 11 , 1!1110 New Law To Dr~ically Change State Guaranteed Loan Program The Education Amendments of 1980 signed into law by President Carter on October 3 contain provisions which will drastically change the State Guaranteed Student Loan Progam, one of the most popular student-aid programs at Wilkes. Since the program first started in 1965-66, about 7,000 students have borrowed nearly $9 million to finance their educational expenses. Most states have established agencies or commissions to adminsiter the program for its residents, such as the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, the New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation, and the Office of Student Assistance in the state of New Jersey. The Program is a prime example of hi w private industry and the government can pool their resources and provide a much-needed service. The loan dollars are made available by private lenders such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. While the borrowers remain enrolled as students and until they begin • to repay their loans, the Federal Government pays all the interest on behalf of the borrowers. Upon graduation or withdrawal, borrowers return to their lenders to establish pay-back schedules for the repayment· of the loan obligation. The changes included in the 1980 amendments will take effect on January 1, 1981 and will seriously affect students who are considering using the program. Borrowers and potential borrowers should become familiar with the changes in order to obtain maximum benefits from ' the program. The changes affect the interest rates, loan amounts and grace period. The interest ratepaid by borrowers during the prepayment period is currently seven percent. First-time borrowers who enter the program after January 1, 1981, will be charged nine percent interest, which may result in several hundreds of dollars of additional interest charges for borrowers, depending on the amount borrowed and the payback period. Students who are now borrowing through SGL or who will borrow before Dec. 31 will be charged seven percent on additonal loans. Consequently, students should immediately start the application process to preserve their eligibility for the seven percent rate. · The grace periodfor new borrowers will be shortened from the current nine - l2 months to only six months. New borrowers, therefore, will be required to start their repayment sooner than borrowers already in the program prior to January 1. .

Students will need their ID's, which must have a special sticker on them in order to eat in the cafeteria. Without a sticker on -the ID the student will have to pay for their meal and they can be reimbursed later by proving that they are regularly on the meal plan. Commenting on Chapman Hall's food committee board suggestion, Williams said, "It was really a good idea." The last food committee meeting of the semester will be Thursday, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. in the east wing of the cafeteria. Reporting on the parking committee, chairman Fred Daniele emphasized that parking permit applications are available in the IRHC and CC offices. Even if a student already has a parking permit, he or she must apply forone for next semester. Applications must be turned in before Christmas break.

Susan Schwab stated under the Social Committee report "the Christmas part went over really well, although the band wasn't that good.'' One of the major complaints centered on IRHC and its members. According to Schwab, "IRHC is not upholding thei r end of the bargain. IRHC is not doing its work. We -are." Schwab was then supported by Joanne Bennick who agreed with the statements and added. "there were only about four members of IRHC that did their work.'' Due the sit4ation concerning the social committee, CC President Bill Miller noted that during the· break the social committee will be restructured. Miller noted that the social committee will now have two chairpersons and that the question concerning who will get frPe tickets will also be settled. The coffeehouse went very well awl it ws noted that next semester there will be more·coffeehouses during the activity breaks. Darlene Schaffer �Page 12, The Beacon, December ll, l!ll!O SPORTS 3-2--------------------McCarrie Hits Last Second Shot To Down Lycoming Record Stands At The ball seemed to hang in the air for a lifetime, and a small crowd in the Wilkes gym stood in complete silence to await its outcome. With only one second left, the ball found its destination and Wilkes had pulled off a thrilling 55-53 victory over Lycoming College. · Senior captain Mike McCarrie fought off the pressure and a 17-ft. distance between himself ·and the basket to raise Wilkes' record to 3-2 in front of a live television audience. Lycoming erased a nine point Wilkes' lead to tie the game with 25 seconds remaining. McCarrie let the ball fly with five seconds showing on the clock and it split the net in a perfect fashion to secure the Wilkes' men 's basketball team of at least a first-place 'tie in change hands several times until Wilkes pulled in front 36-34 at halftime. In less than five mintues, East Stroudsburg had opened up a huge 12-point advantage on some brilliant shooting by superstar Don Bones. Wilkes fought back under the leadership of senior captain Mike McCArrie and came witnin five points, with 2 minutes left in the game. Wilkes then gave up some costly fouls which eventually led to an 82-76 loss. The Colonels gained alot · of respect from the two Division ·u · teams they have played .this year. Wilkes outplayed the Warriors throughout the game, with the exception of that early five-minute second-half stretch. Wilkes attempted only 11 foul shots compared to shadowed by an ankle injury suffered by junior starter Pat McCue early in the first half. The former Wyoming Valley West star may be out for a few months and he will be sorely missed by the Wilkes squad. After three tough road . games Wilkes finally got a chance to play in front of their home crowd, if you could call it that. Only 300 fans showed up to watch the Colonels hold back a stubborn Delaware Valley squad 92-86. The Blue and Gold came out smoking, with excellent passing and controlled shot selection. Freshman "sharpshooter" Bob Antonelli led Wilkes to an early 19-point lead by hitting four straight baskets for the Colonels. Antonelli was all over the court, playing tough defense and being at the right place at the right time on offense. Wilkes never looked better· than when they took a 33-14 lead with 5:30 left in the half. Then the Aggies started pressing the Colonels, forcing them into a running game. The game that started out as a laugh turned out to be no joke when the Aggies scored 10 of the next 14 points to cut Wilkes' lead to 10. Tony Madden and Paul Scaliti combined to score 8 of the game's next 12 points and once again Wilkes seemed to have the game under control. Freshman Bob Morehead showed the crowd touch of Julius Erving with a perfect behind-theback pass to Antonelli who made an easy lay-up, bringing the score to 61-44. Delaware Valley hit two straight buckets, but Tony Madden countered with two consecutive 3pointers and the faithful Wilkes fans headed home. But the fam; stopped dead in their tracks when they heard a tremendous sound. Kevin J.J. Walker hit a "slam dunk" that could be heard all the way to the King's gym. Walker was so high in the air that he could have put himself through the basket! The Aggies came back once again to narrow the margin to four with 2 minutes to go and it was "pull ahead" tilJle again for the Blue and Gold. Kevin Walker hit for one of his seven baskets and the game was finally over. Walker came off the bench to play an outstanding defensive game along With a 19-point scoring night. Tony Madden, getting his first start of the season, scored 19 points, including "7 from the charity line. Paul Scaliti scored a career high of 17 points, hitting 11 _ a WINNING POINT - Mike McCarrie jumps high abovr the Lycoming defense to score the winning basket in the Lyroming game.

For their third - straight road game of the season, Wilkes traveled to meet Division II powerhouse East Stroudsburg last Wednesday night. The Colonels surprised the Warriors by taking a six-point lead on a Rick Sheaffer layup with three minutes left in the second quarter. The next few minutes saw the lead East Sfroudsburg's 35, and that proved to be the deciding factor. Mike McCarrie had an all-time scoring high that night, hitting 11-14 from the field and 8-9 from the line to lead all scorers with 30 points. The Philadelphia native matched his game against a possible proprospect in Don Bones, and the Wilkes captain came out ahead .

On Wednesday night, the Engineers of Lehigh University, who are ranked 5th in the nation, invaded the Wilkes gym to take on the Colonels. Most believed this would be a one-sided affair, as Lehigh seemed to be the superior team on paper. However, the Colonels rose to the occasion and gave the Engineers all they could handle, as the outcome of the match was not decided until the last bout. Although the Colonels dropped the match 24-18, they gained much respect while putting a scare into the highly touted Engineers. On Saturday afternoon, the Colonels journeyed to Annapolis, Md., to take on the 17th-ranked Navy. It seemed as though the Colonels were emotionally drained from Wednesday's grueling match and dropped a 29-13 decision to the Midshipmen. , Bob Weaver got things started in the right direction for Lehigh as he pinned Kris Rowlette with 31 seconds remaining in the bout. Rowlette had a 5-4 lead with one minute remaining in the second period, but Weaver took total control of the bout from that point on. Weaver, who qualified for the U. S. Olympic Team last year, took an 845 lead at the end of the second period, and then pinned Rowlette late in the third period. , At 126 lbs., Billy Dodge got Wilkes on the scoreboard as he decisioned Ray Bellaran 6-4. Dodge diil an outstanding job as he fought back from a 3-0 deficit to garner the win. The 134-lb. tilt was probably the most controversial match of the · evening. Lehigh's Darryl Burley , who was runnerup in last year's NCAA tournament, gained a· superior decision over Mark Popple, 22-6. Burley was leading by a large margin when he illegally slammed Papple with only four seconds remaining in the bout. Popple was injured and according to collegiate wrestling rules, if a wrestler is injured due to an illegal move, and could not continue, his team is awarded six points. It was obvious that Mark could not continue, as he lay flat on the mat with an apparent rib injury. However, Coach Reese told Mark to stand on the mat to finish out the remaining four seconds. This was a display of good sportsmanship at its finest on Coach Reese's part. He said after the match, "I feel I made the right decision even though it cost us the match. I didn't w,ant to be awarded. any points unless we earned them ." sioned Lehigh's Tom Hensler 14-7 to defeating Midshipman Mark If the Colonels took those points, bring Wilkes within striking Phillips 7-5 in the 177-lb. weight they would have won he match, but dsitance as the score stood at 21-18 class, and Heavyweight Rick it would not have felt like a great with the heavweight bout remain- Smith, who showed Navy's Pat victory because they really ing.

Basketball Moravian (A) sxr~"A by Pete Steve With the first semester of the BEACON over, it is lime for a look al the sports pages by the staff and the readers as well. A number of different things were tried this semester in comparison to the past few years and reader input ori these new features would be greatly appreciated. With one more semester lt:ft, changes can be made in the BEACON'S sports pages to satisfy the reader's tastes. All that is needed is some feedback.. It is without a doubt that the most successful feature this year wa s ''Athlete of the Week." A great deal of care was put into the selection of ·each featured athlete, and it is hoped that the honor of this award was accepted respectfully. I would like to congratulate all of this semester's athletes who won the award and wish the best of luck to next semester's · Colonels. I also would like to add that this award is to give recognition to the best athlete of the week, not of the year or of a particular game.· Because of this"award process, it is possible that a certain sport will ha ve no athletes nominated during the semester or a certain sport will have four athletes in a row nominated. All that matters in the selection of " Athlete of the Week" is the-- athlete's performance during that particular week. Remember, any person can submit an athlete's name for nomination to "Athlete of the Week" as long as it meets BEACON publication deadlines. Memory Photo is a feature which may not be back next semester unless some support is shown for it. Although support has been good the last couple of weeks, the beginning of the year found the "Memory Photo" article un-named. Now is the time for everyone to voice his opinion on this feature. If it is to continue, support must be received or the feature will no longer be used. Each week during my column, I tried to address both local and national issues pertaining to sports. I felt that the issues I addressed were important enough to be commented on in the BEACON. Each item I wrote dealt with issues I felt Colonel students should know about. Many ti mes I was criticized fo r addressing 'issues other tha n ones dea ling with Colonel athletics in my column. Maybe I should start limiting my opinion to Wilkes sports alone. It really is up to you. The BEACON is your paper and you should read things in a ll sections of it that you really want to read! Let me know, I f an' t change the paper unless you let me know. -Because of a n excessive a mount of ~opy this week. I must limit the size of my column. I believe I have said what I wanted to, and hope that everyone will express their opinions to me on a ny phase of the sports section. My goal is to make the sports pages the best that they ha ve ever been. With the help of my staff and your comments, this goal may not be too far off! See you next semester. I .

There is no excuse for the lack of fan support from the Wilkes student body this year. Every other college has full attendance at their home basketball games and they don' t have a halfas-exeiting and determined squad as the Colonels. We have one of the toughest basketball teams in the area, but it's embarrassing when only a handful of students show up for the games. Other schools have large gyms that s~at up to 3,000 people and they are always at full capacity. It's not as if there is not enough advanced publicity. E very newspaper; radio station and even a few TV stations will give advanc'ed notice before home games, not to PIZZA ROMA 205 South Ma in ~treet {O pposi te Peru g ino 's Villa) Neapolitan & Sicilian Pizza Lasange, Stromboli, Calzone, etc. EVERY THURSDAY (from 4 p.m . to 8 p.m .; All the Macaroni you can ~at OPEN SE VEN DAYS A WEEK 11-11 VISA and Master Charge Accepted $2.99 (Mea t ba lls se rv ed w ith first dish ) PHONE 825-0938 mention the BEACON sports calendar. Last Saturday, WBRE television came to the Wilkes gym to open their season coverage of college basketball. The stands were so empty that WBRE had to keep its cameras centered on the court so the television audience could not see how low the attendance really was. Out of 2,000 Wilkes students, less than HK) showed at the ga me. The fans that did show were treated to a n excellent, hard-fough t game that came down to the last second. Every Wilkes basketball game is exciting to wa tch. It's not fair to the players who try so hard to win for Wilkes to play in front of a few fans . The Blue and Gold has a good shot at a possible playoff berth this year, but when it comes down to the final game with the score tied and one second remaining, it's the fans who make a difference. You wouldn't want to responsible for Wilkes not making the playoffs, would you? Tonight, th~ Colonels will be a part of a rivalry that has lasted since 1947 when they face King's College once more. The game is at King's, but wouldn't it be great if the whole school packed the King's gym ? It might even help us win !
