SG President Joe Galli dropped the bombshell , which rhe organization had been expecting since they received word that Commuter Council was being forced to move their office out of Weckesser Hall. The bombshell - Student Government will be the next to go, and the explosion resulted in a dynamic discussion on the pat of all the attending representatives. The general opinion was that SG doesn't want to move . Student Government has enjoyed the conve. nience of having an office in the same building as the adminlrtrative offices for a very long time , and the prospect of being removed from' the administrative atmosphere is something that the members of SG found upsetting. CC President Bill Miller announced that both the CC and SG offices will probably be moved tothe Student Center. Also , he added that the student deans' offices will eventually be moved to the third floor of the Student Center. the offices in W eckesser Hall used for these purposes will then be used for other administrative offices. Galli said , "I'll be damned if we're going to move" and many of the representatives voiced their suppon of their president. Galli also said , "I met with (president) Capin today (Monday) . I talked to him until I was blue in the face .' ' Galli added that Capin 's response was , " We ' II see how it works out. '' After it was noted that SG struck out in stopping the changes in the withdrawal policy, and was unsuccessful in g-:tting the Stark Regulations changed , Tom Farley declared that it was time for SG to stand up and say no. . After the meeting, interested members of Student Government met in a closed door session to plan what action they would take. (See related stroy for comments by CC, IRHC and SG presidents.) • Under Fund Requests, Joe Knox, representing COPUS, made a request for $367 .52 to enable three students at attend the first annual meeting of the National COPUS to be held in Washington from February 5-6. / ..,.,.. 1i'ot · /Platters ( Dinners Salads \, Fil Committee Chairperson Elaine Kerchusky announced that the movie , " The Champ," will be shown tomorrow, Jan . 23 at 7 p .m . and 9:15 p .m . in the CPA. At the IRHC meeting, President Janine Tucker expressed her enthusiasm for the new semester. She also announced various changes for students on campus , among them are the water shonage situation and the new meal card system . Another topic reported was that Student Leaders Upset At Weckesser Ouster The officers and members of Student Government and Commuter Council learned recently that the college is planning to move their organizations' offices out of Weckesser Hall and into the Student Center. The student leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction with the administration's decision. The presidents of the three campus governing organizations, CC, SG and IRHC, commented on the situation. CC President Bill Miller: "How I feel , and many of the people -on_ Commuter Counil feel is that Commuter Council offers the students of Wilkes College many services which at other school are handled by the administration . Our distribution of parking stickers, our sale of Park and Lock tickets and bus tokens, and our newly-created housing referral service are just some of the example of the functions we perform . "Since Commuter Council has been in existence we have always been in Weckesser Hall and I feel , as a vital part of student affairs, we should remain there . " Besides just these services we have been able to help the Student Affairs Office and other administrative offices by providing · student input . We regret that in the future such input may be reduced. ' 'Commuter Council is an im portant part of the Wilkes famil y, representing over 1,000 students and the philosophy of students and · administration working together is a tradition that should not be lost. '' SG President Joe Galli : " I think that it is a big mistake . I'm kind f upset with the Wilkes College family tradition being partially removed by the fact that the student governing offices are being moved out of Weckesser. -----' Tucker Waxes Enthusia-tic "At present it may not seem that drastic of a move, but in the future I feel that it will result in a lack of communication with the studet body and the administration . ' ' IRHC President Janine Tucker: ' 'The three organizations all work as one . Student Governme.nt is a sister organization (to IRHC) and Commuter Council is too. I hate to see them moved. The students have been understanding up to this point, JI.Ild I feel the administration has tried to understand , but in actuality, they have not. " There has been a lack of communication from the adminstration to the students ancl I feel that the move will be detrimental to the Students as a whole . '' The students at this college have strong faith in the college , and what has occurred in the past year and one half has weakened our faith in the school. '' the new meal card system will be in effect Monday, January 26 . Students' ID cards will be used instead of the meal cards in order to prevent unauthorized persons from eating meals that board students pay for. The ID cards are presently being validated for this purpose . In further reports, Food Committee Chairman Bruce Williams announced a committee meeting today at 3 p.m in the east side of the cafeteria . All students with complaints or suggestions for the dining service are urged to attend . New dinner hours for Sunday only were made . They were changed to 4:30 p.m. until 6: 15 p.m . Parking permits were completed and posted last week . Fred Danielle, Parking Committee Chairman, said those people receiv- . ing permits are to pick them up in the personnel office next to Champan Hall.

Waste can take several forms . Washing only several pieces of clothing in a machine full of water, leaky faucets and using two shower-heads for the "double dose" when one will do, are just a few examples of abusing the privilege of a generous supply of running water. Coupled with the small rainfall, waste inevitably leads to a shortage of water. In response to this shortage , the gas and water company has requested voluntary conservation. Wilkes alone must decrease its .water consumption by · 25 % . How can this4be done? Cooperation by everyone is the key. In order to insure the continued use of water for necessary functions , we must pull together to ration and conserve water in any necessary functions and try to eliminate unnecessary uses. The conservation requests made by . the administration are not unreasonable and students should try to cooperate fully. The more the college can save by eliminating waste and overuse in dorms, classrooms , lavatories, etc., the better. For in.stance, don't let water run unnecessarily. A faucet that leaks a drop of water a second ends up wasting 200 gallons of water a month . If it's hot water that 's being wasted , that means energy for heating that's also going down the drain , along with your tuition debts to pay for that wasted energy. Everyone knows best where waste is most likely to occur in their own sphere of influence. Some conservations suggestions might be to shower with a friend , leave the sinks attached to the walls of the dormitory bathroom , mix your whiskey with soda instead of water, take your beverages straight up instead of on the rocks and treat you r water fixtures like a cadillac. No matter how ridiculous some of these ideas may be , they are ways of cutting down water usage. Look around your dormitory. laboratory, or in wherever water is used . and see how it can be reduced or eliminated. If we don't make an honest attempt at conserving water and cutting consumption by 2 5?, we can all find ourselves high and dry. Waste not now and you' II want not later. ·-----Notice ----Patti Sparlow is continurng as Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon.

She had no major claims to fame - she won no prizes, no awards for community service. Yet Mildred Traxler, 65, was an important person . Local papers reported her death mainly because it came about in an unusual way. Mildred Traxler committed suicide, Tuesday, Jan. 13, by jumping from a 10th floor window of the Hotel Sterling.

The songs you hear coming over the airwaves are songs you don't usually hear on a commercial radio station. On these two nights, you will hear Ernie College's unique "Import/ export" progressive rock show . However, it is not only the music which is unique where Ernie is concerned, because Ernie, .himself, is unique . Ernie, the man operating the boards and turntables, is legally blind . Normal vision on the vision measurement scale is 20/20. What a person with normal vision sees at 400 feet, Ernie sees at 20 feet . Ernie was born with congenial glaucoma and, at the age of three , it started to affect his right eye . Now, things that are small or far away present the most problems. Ernie has been associated with WCLH since February 1979 when he did his first show. A 26-year-old native of Philadelphia, Ernie left his management level job at GAF Photo service to go back to school. "I wanted to go to a small school out of the Philadelphia area and Wilkes seemed like a good place to come to," Ernie commented . When friends first spoke to him about joining the radio station, Ernie was at first a little apprehensive. But after being coaxed, he joine~ because he felt he c·o uld do '' just as good a job as others on the station. '' There were some problems in joining. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) did not want to let him go on the air. The station engineer, Joe Glynn, wrote the FCC a letter stating that he had personally trained Ernie and that he was ready to go on the air. · In addition to this training, Ernie would often watch other people doing their shows. He would also help them with little things and thus gained experience in cueing up records and operating the board . Ernie operated the board himself and fills out his own program logs . He had no log errors since October 1979. Ernie does need someone to read the news and take the meter readings, though. And it did take Ernie longer to learn to operate the production room than the studio . But he feels this ability is an art, and this feeling may have contributed to his being named Production Manager for the 1980-81 school year. Director of Broadcasting Operations D . V. Bradford Kinney has this to say about Ernie's abilities, "Ernie functions in his job as well , if not better, than people in the past have done . ' ' For a person who is legally blind , being a DJ must be hard work . But not for Ernie . "The work is easy .

So comes the time I will pick with reverence, The winning team, my personal preference, The Raiders will stand up , mighty and proud , And Philly will echo. booing quite loud .

Numerous scandals plagued the athletic programs of major and minor institutions throughout the entiore country. The sports world witnessed numerous wrongdoings exposed in areas of recruitment, academics, and eligibility. Seasons were forfeited , players were denied graduation, and numerous coaches resigned as a result of various investigations of athletic curriculums. After all of theseoccurrences, one has to wonder about the direction which athletic programs are headed. Originally looked upon as an extracurricular activity for athletically inclined students, sports are now becoming the heart and soul of many institutions of higher learning. Who would have ever thought that academics would become the extracurricular activity at a college or university. Although this seems to be a play on words, in all reality, this is what is taking place Because of the very difficult financial situations of many institutions, athletics are a very important part of the school's continued existence. With most collegeS"and universities fighting to keep from going under, the process of educating the public has turned into a big business. One of the ways numerous schools have found to increase the economic backing of the institution is through the "sale" of athletic contests or programs. By increasing the quality of athletic performance on the court or field, institutions have found that economic stability can be attained. Although this process is perfectly legitimate when the athletes involved are in good academic standing at the school, it does become a corrupt use of mankind when it becomes an end in itself. · The athletic importance of an individual often times has greater weight than academic excellence in many colleges and universities. Or at least it used to! With the numerous scandals exposed in many of our large institutions, school officials are now becoming more cautious in their establishment of priorities. Although they are still willing to ease the pressures of a higher educations on their star athletes, they are less willing to risk public embarrassment through investigations and exposure of blatant academic endowments. In the past, coaches were willing to do anything to get a star athlete who would help out their particular program. Testimonies from former athletes who did not make it into the pros in their respective sports exposed the unethical recruiting policies of many coaches adn institutions. But in recent months, especially after the federal investigation of many athletic programs, coaches have changed their tone as far as the importance of athletes is concerned. In the November 30th issue of the NCAA News, Roman Gabrial. head football coach at California Polytechnic State University, stated that, "In a lot of situations, I think kids are used for their four years of athletics and then turned loose with nothing to show for it. Very, very few can go on to play pro ball. When our players leave here·, we want them to be wellbalanced, disciplined individuals. We want to teach them how to get along well in society." Thi~ _is an _attitude that many coaches are now adopting for their recru1tmg policy. Whether or not it is just another ploy used by coaches to bring into their program a star athlete of their choice remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, an attitude which stresses the academic as well as athletic excellence of a student is an attitude of success. Although our area is lucky enough to be free of such athletic scandals and wrongdings, pressure is exerted upon institutions when their academic standards are too strenuous for some of'the athletes (and non-athletes ) to maintain. . It should be noted that athletes are in a very rough position, with dedication and achievement goals in two different areas. But it must be stressed that the academic standards of an institution cannot be lessened to enter!ai~ ~ few. The attainment of a "quality" education is not only up to each md1V1du~I to achieve, but it is also up to the institution to provide. Proper academic standards are a part of the institutions responsibilities for a "quality" education. · Even though the pressures of a higher education are great upon the student, student-athlete, and institution respectively, there is a point where harmony among all concerned is produced. How silly it would be for a col- · lege or university to exist solely for the purpose of extra-curricular activities, whether they be athletics, debate, stude!)t government. or whatever. Only by working together, instead of against each other can everyone come out a winner in the end. For without the youth of the world. there would be no institutions of higher learning. But without these institutions, there would be no world. Think about it! Sports Calendar Jan. 22 W . basketballAlbright (H) Jan. 24 WrestlingTemple (A) Basket ballScrantonSwarthmore (H) W .

Adams said that the housing of- Schedule Of Activities Set ForAnnual Winter Weekend by Doug Fahringer - Stark Regulations Set p.8 DRIP, DRIP, DRIP - A leaky faucet is one of the major culprits when trying to conserve water, stealing gallons of the fluid daily .

Winter weekend will conclude with the presentation of awards fol _lowing the movie. £ice has asked fo r cooperation from the stu dents in reporting leaks when they occur so that they can be fix-:d as soon as possible. Water disp lacement devices are being placed in toilet tanks in residence halls wherever they can be accommodated. Adams noted that most of the water that is wasted m the dorms is wasted through showes. '' The 20minute shower is notorious,' ' he com mented . In order to encourage shorter showers , the water heaters in all of the dorms have been turned down at least 10 degrees. He explained , '' A little bit of consc iousness would save a lot of water. He also noted that there is a good chance that the college will make mandatory cutbacks. Th is would mean each residence hall could be expected to use 2 5 percent less water. NOT ICE The time for the ·-·eekly mretir,g of IRHC has been changed to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday in the basement of the library. / 1t the water shortage contmues to worsen, the water company may impose a limit of 40 gallons of water per resident per day . When and if these limits go into effect, Adams said, " We will have to live within that quota .' ' If the do rms are not able to comply with the regulations, the water __ company can impose additional restrictions, including fines and curtailment of service .

Currently freshmen are expected to achieve major and cummulative averages of at least 1.60. Students in their sophomore year must meet minimum cummulative and major averages of 1.90. Juniors and seniors must maintain minimum cummulative and major averages of 2. 00 . If these minimum averages are not met , the student 's record is reviewed by the Academic Standards Committee which can take action to place the .student on academic probation or determine the student to be academically ineligible . A student on academic probation is usuall y given a limited course load and / or ma y t>e prohibited from taking 1>arc in extracurricular activities. He is given one semester to improve his averages and , if he does not, he is declared academically ineligible . Academic ineligibility is a nice way of saying failure and dismissal from the college . January 6, the Tuesday before classes started this semester-; the committee reviewed the records of approximately 300 students - 28 seniors, 22 juniors, 84 sophomores, 132 freshmen , and 66 night and special enrollment students. The results was that almost ten per cent P&E committee Cites Rules LOUIS CZACHOR The Publicity and Elections Committee of Student Government is asking for cooperation . with a matter concerning use of campus bulletin boards and poster boards. Members of the committee asked for assistance in these matters from all students, clubs, organizations , faculty , staff and administration. The guidelines for use of the bulleting boards were stated in a memo distributed to all campus clubs and organizations recently . The committee has asked that no one post any type of signs or posters on glass windows or doors. The committee is concerned that material posted on glass doors obstructs the view of people approaching the doors fom opposite sides, and thereby poses a dangerous situation. Also , it was noted that it is not the repsonsibility of the Publicity and Elections Committee to remove outdated posters . The committee is. expecting groups posting signs to remove the signs within 24 hours after the event publicized has taken place . If posters are not removed on time, the responsibile group will be confronted by the Publicity and Elections Committee. Complete denial of poster priveleges will result for any organization disregarding these rules . · of the student body was placed on academic probation. This is abour average for the college. In fact , Dr. Owen Faut, chairman of the ocmmittee , stated that over the last ten years the percentage of students on academic probation has remained about the same. Faut pointed out that one area where a lot of students run into trouble is ir, .neir major average. Many students do not realize that they must maintain a minimum average within their major as well as a minimum cummulative average. YEAR ENROLLMEN T Also , Faut noted that there is sometimes a problem in determining what constitutes a major. course . This problem arises when the requirements for a major j n one discipline include courses in other disciplines . A-s far as the actual reviewing is concerned, the committee treats · each case individually to determine what should be done. Faut noted that probation is a warning and the restriction of activities and / or reduction of a student's course load is done in order to help the student PERCENT ON PERCENT PROBATIO N .

Faut noted that last year . the faculty defeated a proposal which would have made the restriction of activities mandatory 'in cases of academic probation , so the cases have to be dealt with on an individual basis . Also , Faut commented that he has heard a lot of complaints that the resmcuons are not done ' uniformly. He stated that the committee is in the process of getting lists of participants in all activities to enable more uniform revision of students ' records. In conclusion , Faut noted that, while the percentages of students on academic probation and in academic ineligibility have remained about the same during the last ten years, the percentage of students on the Dean·' s list has nearly doubled. The percentage of students graduating with honors has also doubled .

IRHC Sock Hop Commuter Council Sees Pt-oblems In Moa,ing To Student Center JOH N FINN The exodus of the Commuter Council and eventually the Student Government from their offices in Weckesser Hall to new accommodations in the Student Union Building, has precipitated problems that demand prompt solutions. One problem : where to have the fu ture coffeeh ouses after the pinball machines from the second floor of the SUB are moved to the basement in accordance with the adm1nistrat-ion 's plans . Amy Elias, chairman of the coffeehouse com-- ,nittee-;· pointed ·otrr tharwhen ·the· pin ball machines are shut off and moved into one area of the basement during a student center fu nction, there would not be enough room for the coffeehouse crowd. Elias suggested that the coffeehouses be moved to either the second floor of the SUB Buildings or to the lobby of Stark Learning Center.

The result was that the request wasapproved by a vote of 13-2-6. Dana Shaffer pointed out that too many people abstained during the votes taken for the fund request.

Bur , the fact is t hat none of us should make the decision not to give blood witho ut first considering the reason s to give. First , the Red Cross is always in need of blood. In fan ,hortages exist many times during the year. It is important to give blood now because statistics show char fewer people are willin g to donate during the winter. Also , if you or a m ember of vour family ever need blood , you will be assured that ir will be available if you are a donor : Every year three blood drives are held on campus . Last year below average numbers of people gave blood at these drives. Let ' s not repeat that situation again this year. There are over 2300 potential donors on campus including facult y. admini stration and students. The Human Services Committee. which is helping to sponsor today ' s blood drive . is hoping -that at least 400 pints will be donated. Don ' t let chem down. There is no reason why more than 400 pints cannot be donated. Remember , by giving blood . you help th e college and the community . You ne!tltr know when you or someone close to you will need blood. The process of giving blood is not painful and it takes only one half hour to 45 minutes of your rime.

The purpose of this fund drive is to allow Willie to obtain a lawver to represent him in an appeal. w ·illie 's court appointed attorner is bemg taken away from him . so he will no longer have one to appeal his dea th sentence due to recent decisions in Arizona courts which stare.

All the things we've done with the administration so far have been positive . We may not always agree , but when something needs to change, we don't back out.

After talking to Dean Lampe about it , and after reading some articles on the. subject, Marla decided that this would be a good area for her to be involved in since, "I like working with , college • students. '' This is not a comment to be taken lightly, because Marla has demonstrated how much she enjoys -working with college students . Since she has been at Wilkes, she has organized ahd -run many d ifferent students activities which have brought her in contact with many different students . For instance , she organized the dinner theatre earlier this year, was social committee ch'airman for a time , and has served as advisor to the freshman class for two years.

Marla seems to know how to handie other relationships well, too . According to her, this is the result of a little self-confidence. " If you have confidence in yourself, you can do what you want for yourself, you can and be yourself." During her years at Wilkes, Marla has certainly done many of the things· she wanted to. But one thing she hasn ' t had a chance to try is skiing . Why nor) " I don ' t know.

Marla has been able to " be herself " for a loi:ig time . However, she does not consider herself a nonconformist, but " I don't want to conform to something just because everyone else is doing it. '' Noncomformity is one quality she would like to keep. Another is her sense of humor. She is known to possess a quick wit . For instance , when asked how she got to Wilb after high school (a poorly phrased question) she replied , " By car." When asked what she wanted to be when she graduated , she quipped, ''Tall .'' Are there any qualities she would like to·change? "I wish I were more laid-back, that I weren ' t so hyper all the time. Sometimes I wish I could just forget everything and do things just for m yself. ' ' For Marla it may be somewhat difficult to relax. Her energy and enthusiasm seem to prevent her from doing that . She says , 'Tm like a little kid - I get excited over little things .' ' But her enthusiam is conveyed to other people , and somtimes it is contagious . Through her position on SG , she has made her enthusiam felt throughout Wilkes. Hopefully from a position as the dean of the college, she will continue. to spark energy into those who know her . r-Ccnapus Commentary----, I A Time To Forgive and Forget by Anthony D. Sibiya The 52 American captives of Iran have finally been returned , a major crisis has been resolved, and now it is time for forgiving and forgetting. It is a time for forgiving and forgetting because vengeance has , in situations of this nature , never achieved anything but fanning the flames of animosity between nations. Granted , the American public is angry at the humiliation of the U .S. by Iran . This is understandable, for we are all taught that nationalism is a virtue next to godliness. Granted, Iran's taking of hostages was in violation of international law , but then again international law, as the people of smaller and less powerful na tions have painfully learned , is not always impartial. Nor is it always observed by even those nations who have always so loudly professed to be law-abiding. Granted too, the holding in captivity of 52, or any number of, foreign diplomats by any country may be morally wrong , but revolution precipitated precisely by political immorality tends to view morality through the eyes of revolution and its aims . Perhaps it is difficult for any person who has never observed the pas, si;;ns of revolutionaries and the tu rmoil of violent revolutions , who has never seen a regime steeped in corruption and kept in power by vicious repression, torture , murder and naked brutality, who has never observeci or felt the bitterness such regimes bring upon themselves by these acts to understand revolution, its morality and the thinking of revolutionaries . There can be no doubt, except of course by those who perfer to bury their heads in the sand , that the regime of Mohhamed Reza Pahlavi; the son-of an army sergeant who was put in power after the overthrow of a legal and elected government and subsequently proclaimed himself to be royalty , was a corrupt , vicious and immoral one. Nor can there be any doubt amongst the objective that Iran 's revolution was totally justified . What is contestable is whether or not those who succeeded in bringing about the revolution afterwards engaged in too much bloodshed, displayed too much zeal in eliminating the vestiges of a fallen regime , and vented too much hate on tho!ie who had been seen :,s collaborators in the sad regime of the Shah. 'The answers tA these depends on the objectivity of those who will seek to answer them , on understanding the political and other forces which shape revolution , and on being able to link history with politics and come out with a clear' grasp of the events which led to the fall of the peacock throne. It is onl y ' among these lines that Iran 's revolution, and indeed many others around the world , can be understood . It is also in thinking along these · lines that a little bit of understanding can be lent to Iran . Finally, it is a time for forgiving and forgetting precisely because the most effective tool of vengeance employed by nations against others, war, is the ultimate act of immorality, when used in unwarranted situations and for vindictive reasons . It is immoral because the thousands of c~ualties of modern warfare and modern instruments of mass destruction are mostly innocent people - men , women and children who have neither a say in nor an understanding of the intrigues of politics . Those who declare wars are never the ones who are required to carry out those declarations , which is p':rhaps why wars have become so easy to dc;clare . The objective of the Unit,-,! States in the Iranian matter , the safe return of all 52 hostages, has i>een accomplished . Though it was a long and torturous process and Iran used the 52 to humiliate what they saw as the "world devoureer'' and "great Satan , " it is precisely because the primary objective has been arn.1mplished that it should now be a time to forget and forgive. Humiliation never killed anyone - wars do kill.

As the profesor of microbiology in the department of biology from 1963 to 1975 , Grace Kimball imparted the basics of bacteriology to many students who remember her passion for sterile techniques . A friendly yet retiring person , Professor Kimball was a special friend to a small number of people who followed her into the field of microbiology . Grace Kimball was one of the most widely read members of the faculty of Wilkes College . In her library was an extensive section of books on the history of architecture and the history of science . She was a lifetime member of the History of Science Society, as well as other scientific organizations. An accomplished pianist , _she bought a new grand piano · after her retirement from the classroom but had little time to en joy playing it before a terminal illness overtook her. Throu_gh Dr. Kimball's generosity, the piano and a fine collection . of sheet m usic, as well as most of the books on architecture and science, have been given to Wi lkes College. She has also remembere<'! Wilkes College in her will. G race Kimball was an interested birdwatcher and frequently noted unusual species of avian visitors in her yard . Becaus\: of her small stature and her field of microbiology, within the biology department, Grace was affec- tio-nately known as " our micro biologist. " Grace enjoyed that_injoke and in many ways revealed a delicate sense of humor with those -who came to know her. Grace Kim ball's years of se rvice, as unheralded as they may have been, were part of the large r ongoi ng and excellent en, tity which has been Wilkes College. We should all be aware of the contribu tions made by Grace and many others through the years. Requiescat in peace , Grace Kimball. Professor Emeritus Charles B.

The second week of fastpaced competition brought out the best in no less than 40 of the college's best bowlers. This attendance figure nearly doubled the 23 of the first week. This semester has brought about many changes to the league hierarchy. The league is now headed by Tom Maguire ; the treasurer's duties are being executed by the newly appointed Jim Moran. These new officers have brought a good base from which the league will operate for years to come. The pins flew high and hard this past Friday, as many high scores ~ BOWLING LEAGUE were tallied.

What would it be like to you Eagle fans if the media was labeling your team with na sty names like 'badguys' and 'renegades' and 'underdogs?

Wilkes jumped off co a commanding 18-0 lead as they won their first five weight classes before Joe Burmingham dropped a cough 10-9 decision . According to Coach Reese, "Joe did a great job and has nothing co be ashamed about as he lost to a very fine wrestler.' ' Prior co the Wilkes contest, Temple had a fine 7-2 slate, but it . ap peared the Owls took the Colonels coo lightly and were shocked in the early going. Temple's previous two losses came co nationally-ranked .Missouri (23-15) , a9d to Penn State(23- l 7). Coach Reese feels. the underclassmen are starting to come along and he attributes this co the . rigorous schedule the Colonels en- countered early in the season . "Things are going the way we hoped they would at this point , and there is no reason we cannot win all of our remaining matches as long as we do not encounter any injuries ,'' Reese said. A major factor in the Colonels' improvement of late 1s 190pounder Pete Creamer who has - amassed an outstandfog 10-1 record against som e of the finest wrestlers in the cotmtry. Pete 's only defeat came at the han ds of Nebraska's Bill Scherr, 13-5. According co Coach Reese , '' Pete is not as gifted as many wrestlers are , but he works . as hard as anyone and I'm glad co see him gee some recognition because he has been a ~ea4 asset co us this year.." Against Rutgers last Saturday, Pete defeated Kevin Scialabba, who placed second in the ·· National Prep School Champion ships in his senior year. This · coming Tues. day, Wilkes will put their winning streak on the line when they travel to State College to take on Penn State . This should be .,.. a cough match for the Colonels, but Coach Reese is optimistic chat the Colonels will return with a vistory over the Nittany Lions.

After seeing the Wilkes basketball team fall co arch mat ::,cranco n University i~ a crucial MAC battle this past Saturday , one ca n o nl y reac t w1th_ disbelief as to how a team could lose a hard fought ga me after leading by 9 points with 3: 47 remaining to play. Man y Wilkes basketball fans can remember that this is not the first time the Colon.els los t a cruci_al game after almost '' blowing out '' their opponent . I am speaking speofically of the first Wilkes-King 's game in earl y December. In this game , Wilkes was leading Kings by 11 points on several occasions. but failed to put them away . This saw the lead evaporate o nly co lose th e g:.me by 3 points . Many people feel Wilkes basketball teams do not have the winning attitude, ~nd ''_choke_'' in the big games . I must say th at I disag ree strongly w1th this feeling , and I also know how disheartening it is to be labeled a " choker." I played for Wilkes the past two years and I know th<'. players want to win more than anything in the world . They also work very hard in practice every day to achieve a winning tradition . I ca n honestly say (and I am not alone) , that the two losses referred co a bove should not be classified as a "c hoke " by the players. Rather , th e blame for those two losses should be attributed co the slow-down tactics used late in the game by th_e Colonels . I realize it is very easy co second guess a coach , and It 1s not nght co be a " Monday morning quarterback." but the way in which we lost co Kings and Scranton had a definite putern . 1n both games , Wilkes played excellent ball and most pro babl y pla yed well enough co win. This past Satu rd ay against Scranton . th e tea m played great for almost 36 minutes, but the slow-down offense was again instituted and the Colorrels failed co get a ' ' W . ' ' The reason Wilkes played so well most of the game against Scranton is because they were given an excellent game p lan by Coac h Righter. a,nd they executed it almost co pedection. Our team has the personnel this year co fast break our opponents co death , but when we start co slow the ball down we get out of the game pattern that works best for us. On Saturday , with 3: 47 co go . any knowledgeable basketball fan could see the momentum switch over co the S~ranton side, after Wilkes had the momentum for the entire game . ·If Wilkes JUSt conunued co play their game on Saturday , and in earlv December against Kings , they would be sitting awp the MAC North with a fine 5-l record. lnste;id, Coach Righter is trying coo hard and his overcoaching is the maj•Jr rea~on why Wilkes is 3-.3 and in third place in .1 the MAC behind both Kings .and Scranton. This ye .. r 's·team 1'9s excek11t talent. and a great attitude - two of the mos_t necessary ingredients r-:1 achieve superiority as opposed co med10cmy. At this point ih time Wilkes has a mediocre record in the MAC , but if Coach 1ighter wc, ., rJ continue his game plan and stick co it through the game the team could very well find themselves co be superior to their opponents in the MAC by seasons end. �Page 12, The Beacon, January :iu. 1!181 . Sports Righter Puzzled After Loss•················•··-·••····•·••·•••··• ···•···•·••··••·•· ·······• ••••·•••······· Royals Beat Colonels In Final Minutes by Bob Buchsbaum Coach Ron Righ ter sat in his office , dying of a cold and wondering what would happen the nex day when his team would face Scranton University in a c;.Iassic Middle Atlantic Conference duel . Wilkes had come a long way from its 5-1 8 record three years ago. They have tasted victory and are very familiar with the agony of defeat. This past Saturday it all came down to one game; this was when everybody would find out what kind of team the Colo nels really are . Evrrything in th past was forgotten , including Wilkes· 9-4 I overall record against Scr,,.nton in a rivalry that has lasted since 1946. When the blue and gold began this year by winning its first two conference games it looked as though 1980 would provide Wilkes with a ticket to the MAC playoffs . Then on Dec. 11 disaster struck and Wilkes saw a comfortable JO point lead turn into a 3 poindoss to crosstown rival King 's College . The Colonels were in shock over its recent loss to King 's and two days later they received another srnck-ing blow . Wilkes traveled to New Jersey to take on a last place FDU Madison sq uad in a "shoe box " type gym. FDU Madison played way over their head in handing Wilkes its second straight loss. Coach Righter said after the game that it was like playing UCLA at the Paulley Pavillion . , The winter break came along and Wilkes had a lot of time to think about the second half ahead of them . Many players worked hard over the break to prepare themselves for the 198 1 home stretch ; some worked too hard . Freshman starter Rick Sheaffer broke his ankle while working out nearhis home in New Britain . Pa . and Wilkes was short one excellent players. Coach Righter received one piece of good news before the 1981 home opener against Alvernia Co llege. Pat McCue was back in uniform , ready to play after a serious ankle injury kept him OJJt_ pf action for four games . On Jan . 14. during the WilkesAlvernia game se nidr Mike McCarrie did something onl y JO Wilkes basketball stars had accomplished before him . McCarrie became , a member of the 1000 point club by scoring 16 points in the first half against Alxernia Co llege . The 6'5'' guard needed on ly 12 , but he was dealy from the outside on a night which he and his parents will never forget. Wilkes won the game and ignited a fourgame winning streak which made teams in tht MAC cake notice . The first victim was Misericordia and the victory was not an easy one for Coach Righter and company. Madden For Two l Misery invaded the Wilkes gym with fire in its eyes and took a surprising 29-27 lead into half time. Mike McCarrie and Paul Scaliti combined to score 44 points to finally put out Mise ricordia ' s fire and give Wilkes a 62-56 victo ry. Certain events in this game cha nged everything about Wilkes basketball and started a tradition th at will hopefull y last for many years. They cam e in from the dark with no name, hardly any clothes and serious looks on their faces . Th ese strange people had no respect for the quiet games Wilkes has had in the past. They' came equ ipped with everything but the kitchen sink and had only one mission - to make Athlete Of The Week Having potential 1s commonplace, but living up to chat potential is an extraordinary achievement that takes hard work . dedication and discipline .

Could they be wondering when spring will get here. by Louis Czachor Recently it was announced that the offices of Student Government and Commuter Council would be moved from Weckesser Hall to the Student Center. Also under consideration by the administration is the possibility of moving the offices of the deans of Student Affairs to the third floor of the Student Center after renovations are made. The three deans in the Student Affairs Office, George Ralston, Jane Lampe and Arthur Hoover commented on the move of SG and CC as well as the possibility of moving themselves. Dean Ralston commented , "With the student organizations we have had a very close, very suecessful, very meaningful relationship." He noted that communication has been clear and direct , and as a result there has been greater understanding than would be Debate Union---------------------------------- Vanquishes Vermon, Competition ''The Art of Persuasion Beautiful and Just'' said Aristotle 2600 years ago has become the code of the Wilkes College Debate Union . This code was put to the test this past weekend when the debaters and public speakers of "Kinney's Kids" traveled to Burlington, Vermont , to compete in the four-day College Forensic Association's Winter Tournament .

This year for the first time in the history of Wilkes College, the Union was invited to compete for honors . Wilkes accepted the challenge and entered the competition as an untested neophyte but returned to Pennsylvania very victorious, having won a total of 13 trophies. The victories are as follows: In debate competition Fred Deets and Patti Sparlow defeated five other institutions before being eliminated in the final round of competition. Their area of debate participation consisted of the highly individualized Lincoln-Douglas format. Patti Sparlow, in her first tournament of the year, was named fourth best debate speaker . The public speaking unit was represented by Linda Esrov and Darlene Schaffer. Ms . Schaffer won five trophies and Ms. Esrov won six . Darlene's wins included a fourthplace finish in persuasive competition, a third place trophy in Impromptu, another third place in Informative Speaking and she finished second , behind her teammate , in After Dinner Speaking Competition. Her victories netted her being named the 'fifth Best Overall Speaker at the tournament. Linda, a new recruit this year, smashed all existing records with her six victories . Ms. Esrov won three first-place awards in After Dinner Competition , Informative Speaking and Persuasive Discourse. She won also a second-place trophy in Humorous Interpretation of Literature and a fifth-place award for Dramatic Interpretation of Literature. Linda received a standing ovation when named The Outstanding Overall Orator of the tournament. The victories were sweetened when it was announced at the conclusion of · the competition that Wilkes College was being awarded ~ht Third-Pla,t Overall Team Award. The last award was the result of a total combined effort by both the debate and public speaking squads, and represents a very significant accomplishment for the Debate Union. The Debate Union and the Public Speaking Unit are coached and directed by Dr. Bradford Kinney of the Speech Division. otherwise possible . Ralston pointed out that once CC and SG are relocated , "We can continue to operate effectively, but we 'll have to make a lot of adjustments because we have been used to this direct communication.'' Dean Lampe stated , " I am very strongly opposed (to having SG and CC move out) ." She added, " We have to do what is in the best interest of the overall institution .'' She noted that it has been " such a big plus being in close contact ~ith regard_to physical office posiuon. What we have had is ideal.' ' She commented that it can be possible to ·still have a working relationship with the student organizations. Dean Hoover noted that the student organization offices have been close at hand and the student affairs office has worked very closely with them. About the SG and CC move he commented, "I hate to see it happen ." He added, however, that 1 ~~~is~i~s 1::!~r::taS:? to accept Looking on the bright side , Hoover stated , "We have to look at the ·plusses, ' · and the posmve things in a move such as this . ''The college is more important than any one of us - any individual or any group ," he added . " We have to take a positive attitude and look for positive things that will come from it. " Regarding relocation of the Stu dent Affairs offices Dean Ralston stated , ''Our only concern is what is best for the students at the college ." , He added , " I feel perfectly agreeable to it, and even welcome it if it will better serve the needs and mak~ the educational experience more effective .' ' When asked if he thought the space in the student center could be used for some purpose other than deans' offices, Ralston stated ''You have to consider the overall objectives and purposes of the whole college. If somebody needs the space more than you do, you do what is best . .. I would prefer that the student center be mainly devoted to student activities such as meeting rooms, rec rooms, etc. '' Continued on page 2 •••••••••• • ••b••••••••••••~••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• : Winter Weekend Schedule : • • : Friday, February 6 : •• 6 :30 p.m . •• . • Opening ceremonies at Ralston Field.

May you have many more . · USPS 832-080 MovingDay An announcement was recently made by the administration that student of fices will soon be moved from their present location in W eckesser Hall to the Student Center, with the possibility that the Student Deans' Office will soon follow suite . The move of the student offices to the Student center is logical and a welcome change . What better place for a student government or council than in the same building where most of the people they represent spend a great deal of time? Perhaps this will encourage students to visit their representatives and vice versa more often . Although one cannot condone the administration's lack - of consultation with student leadets on this point , one c~n definitely see the logic in the decision. Student offices should be near students, not administration. Although it is understandable why it would be convenient for these governing bodies to be near the administrators, it also seems like an ironic paradox . Many of these representatives would rather rub elbows with deans and administrators than with their constituents. Ad- m1mstrators do not vote in student government elections . Many elected officials believe that communication between students and administration will become damaged and possibly suffer as a result of this move. On the other hand , if this student rep/ administrator relationship is as good as it is claimed to be, then a relocation across the street will hardly cause its downfall. With this move , the student representatives may develop a relationship with the students, something not too many care to do anymore . While moving the student offices to Conyngham is a step in the right direction, the student deans should remain in Weckesser. Although they are student deans, they are also part of the administration, and as such, should remain in an administrative building. Moreover, a dean's office in a student center just doesn't seem kosher. The resolution? Move the ~tudent offices nearer to the students, but allow the deans to remain in their present ,location.

It 's not unusual to see stickers and pictures on someone 's door . But this door is a little different - it has a bit of everything, and some things one would not expect, such as a picture of George Washington , a Christmas card and a picture of a fence . But in Tom Rooney, one of the occupants of the room , one finds a bit of everything, and some things one would not expect. Because one of his most noticeable qualities ·is a well-developed sense of humor, Tom sometimes has a problem being taken seriously by rtwse who don't know him well and who don 't expect him to be serious. Tom does have his serious side , though, and is not afraid to let it show. As he says, ''I'm not into the macho image." He just likes to be himself . And that self is one that often finds a great deal of humor in people and in situations, yet is one that can also be serious. One thing about which Tom is serious is his major, business administration , with a concentration is marketing . Tom started out, not as a business major, but as a chemistry major. during his sophomore year, he realized that he was not interested in chemistry as he had been , and changed his major to business. In the future ; he plans to gain some experience in this field through co-op. What does Tom plan to do after he graduates ? Earnestly he says , "Well , I think I'll stop in and see my parents. " Then he adds more seriously, ''I'd like to go into sales or buying .. something that would allow me- to work with people.'' Tom should be able to work well From The Other Side............ . ''Paper Chase'' It's hard to keep a good series down. Now I know that is a play on an old cliche,' but it fits a description of "Paper Chase ." The old CBS series has been brought back to life by the good people of PBS. When it first debut a few years ago , "Paper Chase" was hearlded by the critics, bur not by the public . It is .hard to blame the viewers for the demise of the series. After all , CBS didn ' t give it I00 percent backing . They were always moving it to another night , or pre-empting it with a special. So, " Paper Chase" didn ' t make the grade the first time round on national television . • After the ax fell on the show, PBS decided to pick-up the program and finish shooting some scheduled shows. Without a doubt , PBS earned an " A" for effort , and sound programming. The show does an excellent job of putting you into the classroom , and helps you feel the pressure of law school. John Houseman 's role of Prof. Kingsfield wilf go down in history as the perfect match of actor to part . No other actor could do justice to the role . However, the show stands out in a crowd for more than just Hi:mseman. James Stephens porrraies James T. Hart , or Mister Hart if you prefer. The highly talented young actor molded himself into the part and performs with a unique feeling for the part. The writing is solid and was produced in a time when it was not how well the phrase was said , but how well the actor doing the part looked . The series is above that level of " boob cube mentality " that other series find themselves at. The case as a whole had little acting experience, but the show launched the.careers of Robert Ginty, " Baa Baa Black Sheep ,' ' and Marilu Henner, ' Taxi. ' ' Thank you PBS for saving a doomed series. Doomed not because of faults wirhin the show itself, but because it was in the wrong place at the wrong rime, and was not treated in the right manner by a big network . Beacon Office Hours · with people . Even now he is intrigued by the people he meets. " Before, I used to be more critical of people and their actions, but as I got older, I became less critical because I realized that people are different and they have different reasons for their actions.'' Sometimes other people do not understand Tom's reasons for his actions. For instance , Tom says , "When I go out to study , someone might ask where I'm going and I' II tell them, 'To study,' but they don't believe me . When I come back , they'll ask me where I've been and I' II tell them I've been studying. Then they say , 'Oh yeah , sure.' " Tom shrugs off this comment even though he admits , " It can be frustrating . It bothers me at the time , but after a while it doesn't .'' People who see Tom think of him only as a humorist may find it difficult to believe that he gets depressed sometimes, just like everyone else . What does he do to get himself out of such a mood? '' I have to be alone . I usually just go into my room , turn up the headphones loud and listen to some music. The music has to be happy to get me out of the mood ." This type of music includes John Cougar, Pat Bena tar, "American Gigolo ' ' and first side of' 'Tusk .' ' In addition to favorite music , Tom has a favorite place. Tom jokingly says, "K-Mart is my favorite place. I can .sit for days waiting for those blue light specials.'' But as a . place to spend more than a few days (even though there aren ' t any bluelight specials) Tom favors New England where he would eventually like to live and work . Why New England?

She will be leaving at the end of this semester to go to Richmond, Virginia. The move, she said , was precipitated only by her husband 's job transfer. A native of New York , she. received a B.A. in music from the Manhattan School of Music , where she studied opera . But after deciding that a musical career wouldn't be profitable for her, she studied accounting and received her M .B.A. in accounting from Temple University. After passing the C.P.A . exam in 1980, she came to this area with her family and hoped to find work as a public accountant . Wilkes College offered her a teaching position , and , , with no prior teaching experience to. bolster her confidence, she accepted.

During the circumstance and decorum of the pinnacle of outstanding and ostentatious confrontations between the most renowned gladiators , the Pro Bowl , Mr. Cosell had retained his long-standing unmentionable reputation in his sometimes forensic language with a perturbed and outright preposterous editorial on the predominant purpose of the now bygone pinnacle of pro football competition , secorid only to the Super Bowl and perhaps the playoffs and championship battles that so enlightened viweres of video and audio wireless telegraphy. Although the heated battle in the trenches, the vim and vigor of the thundering backs , and the fleeting aerial excellence of the strong armed field generals to the swan-like antelopes of the far sidelines was less than can be either expected or preferred , the controversial commentator's callous colloquoy and crude self-created criterion as to the role of the epic event must be criticized and is deserving of reprimand. Had this man not been guilty of imperfect punctuation and flow of thought in the dialogue of his own diatribe , had his elocution been brought forth to the decoding ecouter as crystalline as a babbling brook in a green hodgepodge kaleidoscope of earth, vegetation , and sunligh t, had he held off his imperative assumptions with digni- ty and couth restraint m respect to his contentions, Mr. Cosell would not only be obliged, but also aesthetically compelling, digniified and uncontested in the point he was trying to make . But unfortunately, as Dido rages in utmost scorn and Beowulf's bequeath beacon burns, the irony of this event is that this man had expanded and emulated the awful circumstances into a more repelling nightmare than br commonly resented, despite his degenerate role; contemplated as to the validity aooKSHAIR SALON Men'1 cind w__,·, holr atyllnt manlcur.. and perms c.1,,....,.,. tor .. 1111111[,tiwt IM-1121 1S S.

Station Manager Chris Kosakowski said, "In the three years that I have been a · member of WCLH, I have seen the station grow under strong leadership and establish a closer working relationship among the members '. The station has also undergone some changes. ' ' One of the changes is that tpe station now broadcasts 18 hours a day, 130 hours per week. Kosakowski also noted that all the departments are ''very active now.'' There is no one person doing all the work, the group works together. " Kosakowski further commented , ' ' I feel we are the most active organization on the Wilkes campus in terms of the number of members, the service we provide and the funct1on we serve.·· The station manager's job is twofold, according to Kosaskowski . "I manage the station and direct the people who belong to it. I also try to maintain a good working relationship with the staff as well as the administrators and executors of the school and community. '' As for the future of WCLH, Kosakowski looks for a "continued growth of the station." Wdilll can boast of a total membership of 75 people. However, only 34 are presently doing shows . According to Stan Ray, Operations Director, this is because "A lot of people can't fit a show into their schedule this se·m ester.'' There are 15 new members . presently being trained to become disc jockeys. "I've been at the station since 1979 and there has been a steady upward trend in the amount of members," commented Ray . The only problem he sees is that a lot of people only see it as fun and not was work , and they aren't really devoted . In addition to training all new members and maintaining the FCC logs, Ray also produces various news and entertainment shows , such as "You and Your Economy ," " Supersounds Reports" and a reggae show. Ray feels that the potential at the radio station is its greatest assets. "You can really show your abilities at WCLH, whether it be as a DJ, in the news department or in production work. '' News Department The News Department offers a variety of programs ranging from international news to local news to features, such as "Today in History" and "Energy Scan." According to News Director Mark Thomas, all of the news is obtained from the Associated Press teletype which he calls the '' lifeline of the station." "Without it ," he said, "We would be blind and deaf as to what goes in around the world.'' Thomas said that the station buys the rights to the use of the AP news and since it is bought , they have the right to use what they do. "The AP is perhaps the most vital piece of equipment we have and is well WCLH STAFF CELEBRATES STATION'S BIRTHDAY Seated from left: Dom Augustine, Sports Director ; Mark Thomas, News Director; Jim Winslow, Engineering Staff; Chris Kosakowski, Station Manager; Stan Ray, Operations Director; Bob Rushworth, worth the price . Where the AP leaves off, local news picks up , " he said. · Ron Labatch came up with the idea to start a local news team . He then took the idea to Thomas and Dr. Brad Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services. Labatch is assisted with local news by Darlene Schaffer. The local news technically has five reporters and are currently updating the list of reporters . According to Labatch and Schaffer, they have already had four stories on the air before they were reported by any other radio or TV station. Two examples of this are the controversy between Commissioner Frank Trinisewski and the late Chairman Frank Crossin, and an announcement of a letter from a representative of Macy's expressing an interest in developing Lazarus Department Store . Labatch commented that in the beginning, not too many people thought it would last . "Aloe of people thought of us as kids playing. Now King's picked up on the idea, and Nanticoke High School has also. " "This is a true professional attempt by amateurs to cover and write news," Thomas said, "We are the first college station in · the area to do local news .'' · Public Affairs Director; Ernie College, Production Quality Director ; George Saba, Program Director. Standing from left: Darlene Schaffer and Ron Labatch, Local Ne_ws Reporters. Missing from photo: Gary Willets and Rob Wallace, Engineering Staff. The reactions from the people at the different events they covered was, at first, one of surprise - surprise that a college radio station was covering local news . They were also accepted by the professional media, who were very supportive . La batch and Schaffer both extend special praise to Connie Lizdas of the Citizens Voice and Keith Martin, formerly with WBRE-TV , who helped them in the beginning. Schaffer commented, "Any doubts in the beginning are now positive feelings and endorsements.'' Labatch and Schaffer also produce a news show called ''Local News in Review," which can be heard every Thursday night at 8: 15 p .m. They are hoping to expand the department and the coverage of local events. " Public Affairs Department Public Affairs Director Bob Rushworth said that his duties are "that of a PR man . I deal with outside, nonprofit organizations with Public Service announcements.' ' These announcements are heard as "WCLH Reminds Yc u. " Rushworth also prints program guides which tell what WCLH has to offer to the public. Public Forum is a program produced by Ruchworth, as an in- PIZZA ROMA 205 South Main Street (Opposite Perugino 's Villa ) Neapolitan & Sicilian Pizza Lasange, Strombol.i, Calzone, etc. EVERY THURSDAY (from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) All the Maca_roni you can eat (Meatballs served.._with first dish ) OPEN SIX DAYS A WEEK Monday to Saturday: 11 to 11 PHONE 125--0931 $2.99 - depth interview with a non-profit organization, and the services they provide to the community . This program is heard on Thursday at 7:45 p .m. Production Quality The position of Production Quality Manager was formed at the beginning of the fall semester. The man in charge of this position is Ernie College, and he described his duties as "overseeing the quality of production work done - the scripting, delivery and how it is engineered ." · College trains people to use the production room , makes promos for the various shows and makes . sure that the carts are evenly distributed (not used over and over). When asked if this was a good idea , College responded , " Yes, because it sets a standard of consistency in regard to loudness , and_delivery , among other things, it makes the station sound more professional and for this reason, I am not easy on people ." Sports Department Dom Augustine has been Sports Director since the fall of 1980 . He felt that since he has assumed this position , he has brought more organization to the department . ' 'I straightened it out a little bit , instituted a filing system and generally organized it a little better.'' Augustine produces two sports shows , along with a report he puts on cart which is aired at different times during the day . " Sports Talk " is a show that deals with events that have occurred in the sports world during the week . Augustine a:lso tries to have guests on every week . Some of the people he's interviewed on the show have been Hank Aaron, Rollie Schmidt and Dave Kaschak . Beacon Sports Editor Pete Steve is the co-host of the show, which can be heard on Friday at 4 p.m . "Sports in Review" covers the weekend happenings in sports and deals with the professional, collegiate and high school occurrences, but "always Wilkes sports." "Sports in Review" is aired on Tuesdays at 4 p .m. Augustine also noted that he has done a number of live broadcasts such as wrestling and basketball, and has plans to cover baseball in the spring. ''I place a lot of emphasis on local sports, especially Wilkes . I feel we are doing a good job." Dr. Kinney commented , "WCLH is not a toy . What the station provides is the hands-on experience which is a great asset to the student. It is a viral and viable experience . that gives the student a chance to learn the ropes of operating a radio station . All the . people on the air do a good job and we' re proud of them .'

' ' These were the words of Coach John Reese as reflected upon the four consecutive victories the Colonels have compiled since early January. The Colonels have been on a tear since the new semester began as they defeated Rutgers; Temple , Binghamton State and Southern Connecticut all in impressive fashion . On Wednesday evening , the Wilkes gym rocked as the wrestling team defeated h ighl y-touted Binghamton State 38 -2. Doug Billig, Billy Dodge , Mark Popple and Lenny Nelson turned in banner performances. Billig got things started early for W ilkes as he pinned John Leo in 5:47 . Dod ge then responded with a 19-3 superior decision and the Colonels were well on their way to a rout as they took a commanding 11-0 lead . The next five bouts were all Wi~es ' as they dominated the contest and jumped to an overwhelming 30-0 lead before John Young earned two points for Binghamton as he drew with Dan Miner 5-5. Coach Reese felt the meet would be a little closer since Binghamton is currently ranked 8th nationally in Division III . However, the mighty Colonels showed why they are among eastern supremecy in Division I as they coasted to victory. On Saturday afternoon the Colonels entertained Southern Connecticut but were not very polite to their guest as they garnered an impressive 39-7 victory . The Colonels won 8 of 10 bouts as they raised their overall record to 8- 7. Southern Connecticut jumped to an early 3-0 lead as Jim Moller defeated Doug Billig 7-4. In the 134-lb bout , Mark NOSE TO THE GRIND - With his nose only six inches off the mat, there is nothing much this wrestler from Binghamton could do against Jim Johnson. Popple did an outstanding job ano earned a pin with 54 seconds re-. maining in the second period . Prior to the pin Popple was trailing by a score of 6-2 . From the 150-pound weight class on it was all Wilkes as they won the last six bouts to gain the victory. Both Joe Burmingham and Rich Smith did outstanding jobs as they earned impressive pins. Burmingham gave Wilkes a commanding 21- 7 lead as he showed southern Connecticut's Jack McEnerney the lights at 5: 3 5. Rick Smith closed out the afternoon in impressive fashion for the Reesmen as he pinned Tony Marciano in 8:08 to wrap up the 39-7 victory . Prior to the Southern Conenecticut match coach Reese felt the "Owls" were a strong wrestling team. "They had an 11-5 record and they had a big win over Yale, but we were just too strong for them in most of the weight classes .'

The , Beacon , Page I J The 'Back' ;k, -. ~ _ ~ ~ Stops Here ; 49 · \♦ Ii Swimmers' Record . 8 by Bob Buchsbaum When one talks about College spores , recruiting is usually mentioned in the conversation . The dictionary defines recruiting as - to obtain replacements for new supplies or anything lost , wasted or needed. Spores fans defi ne recruiting as a way to measure a coaches dedication to his team . If chis is true , Wilkes College has a trul y dedicated winter coaching staff. In our three major spa m , mens, womens bas ketball and wrest!ing, we have three coaches chat spend many hours in an attempt to find athletes chat can help our spores team . It is no surprise chat our mens and womens basketball teams are Division III and cannot offers as much as a Division ], school w0uld . However Coach Ron Righter and Nancy Ro.heres continue to give up their time in search of the talented high school athlete. Many people don ' t realize however that we ha ea Division I wrest!ing program chat can compete with any team in the country. The main reason for Wilkes ' success in wrestling as compared to other sports is its head coach , John Reese . Mr . Reese has become on~ of the most well known wrestling coaches in the country, which is no great surprise. Coach Reese has single handedl y changed Wilkes from a Division III team to a Division I powerhouse . Every other week we can see our wrestling team compete with squads like Penn State , Lehigh , Missouri and Nebraska. It' s a big change from playing Kings and Scranton for a local basketball title . I' m not saying that playing a Division III basketball game is not important because it is! But once in a while it 's great to say that we go to a school chat regularl y 'beats squads like Temple , Clemson and Rutgers . We owe a great deal of this satisfaction to John Reese. He is so well known and respected chat high school coaches recommend their scar athletes to go to Wilkes and that 's wh y we have such a great wrestfing squad . Coach Reese has gotten almost all of his wrestlers from recommendations by high school coaches. Most of these wrestlers are good when they come to Wilkes, but not great. Wilkes only has one wrestler that has won his liigh school state championship . However, these are che same individuals who gain All-American honors and win to"ur.namencs for Wilkes College. This says a great deal about John Reese and his wrestling program. In fact some time in the near future we ma y have the Number l ranked wrestling team in the country and that will sure put our small college on the map . ..~ ":7 § lf:...Y 8§ 83 8 Calendar Chuci Robbins ... ll S 8 8 8 SEE YOU IN THE PAPERS! ····················~· Head swimming coach Bob showed up for practice .

Time and time again, the Aces take the court with Sg fewer and fewer fans in the bleachers. What is the cause for this lack of interest? Can it be that the Aces are competing against the local colIeges and high schools for fan support? For all practical purposes, the answer is no. Take our athletic events for example. In case you haven't been counting when you last attended a Colonel wrestling meet or basketball game, fan support has not been all that great. Don't get me wrong, the people who are in attendance have been supporting the teams with all they got, but as far as overall numbers go, attendance is down. Except for a few key MAC matchups in basketball and meets against Division I wrestling powers, there is room for a lot more people in the gym on the nights of average games or meets. . · 88 For a campus of our size and an area full of athletic heritage, I see no ,: reason why a gym which seats 1800 people at a maximum can not be full ~ on a regular basis. For less than the cost of one ticket to a movie, a person can see quality sports competition without the worry of a sore behind because of two straight hours in the same seat. The past basketball game against Kings had the kind of support and 8 enthusiasm which all Colonel events should have. Not only were Wilkes' students in attendance, but many other people having nothing to do Sg directly with the college were there as well. And boy did they get their money's worth. I don't know anyone who can honestly say they left the '===========================::!.! 8g gym with a bad feeling, unless they were a King's fan. 8 It was really good to see more people in the bleachers than there .was S g8 room for, with all of them screaming at the top of their lungs.

The Wilkes men's basketball team was in a state of shock after the Jan . 24 Scranton chaos . Two days later they played like zombies against Elizabethtown and it looked as though it was good-bye Columbus . Just when you thought the chips were down, the "sleeping giant " fans from Wilkes Collegt came to the rescue along with a 6 '4' ' junior from Pringle, Pa. Tony "Fudd" Madden had been in a slump just like the fans who never showed up at Wilkes basketball games. However, on Jan . 28 , both Madden and the Wilkes fans came alive to soundly defeat the Monarchs of King's College, 72-61 . The King's game was by far the most important Wilkes will play this year. If they had lost, it would have been "better luck next year" for Coach Righter and company . Kevin J.J. Walker was a tower of strength under the boards for Wilkes and super sophomore Paul Scaliti provided the Colonels with a light touch from the outside. But Jan . 28 belonged to Tony Madden. He scored 19 second half points and played an outstanding defensive game to lead the blue and gold to victory . Over the past six games Wilkes has not looked as Bowling by Doug Williams The second week of team competition brought out some tremendous scores throughout the league . The Aristocrats, led by Ed Salley's 578 series, took ·all three games from the previously unbeaten Triskadekaphobia. Triska . was led · by Karen Cocco's 390. Elsewhere in the league , Geekanooza continued their winning ways by taking 2 out of 3 from the 752 Crew. The Columbian 300's (last semester's champs) returned to their previous form by beating the Maniacs . The 300's were led by Doug Williams and Bill Petrick who shot 6 53 and 596 respectively .

However, it all came together for the Colonels last Wednesday when they won thesecond round of the "backyard classic" against King's College. ~t Saturday Wilkes had another important test ahead of them. They had never won a conference game away from this year and had to face a tough Delaware Valley squad . Coach Righter spent many long hours in his office before the game trying to devise a winning strategy. "I think I have a good game plan, but you never know with Delaware Valley . They gave us a lot of trouble earlier in the year at our home court .'' Once again it was the Tony Madden show as he scored another 19 points to lead the Colonels to a 7470 victory . with 14 :49 left to go and Wilkes down by three, Madden scored eight points in a 13 point scoring stretch to put the Aggies away . What the Wilkes cagers did not know was that- while they were beating Delaware Valley, Scranton University was turning the MAC Conference wide open with an 8778 victory over King's. The Scranton victory moved the Royals into first place with a 5-2 record and pushed King's to 4-3 in the MAC. Wilkes' two straight wins moved them into a tie for second place with King's at a 5-4 slate . This past Monday Wilkes traveled to Philadelphia to take on Philadelphia Textile in a non- conference game. The Colonels were not expected to win or even come close to beating Tex tile because they are one of the most respected Division II powerhouse squads in the east . Coach Righter must have done a great scouting job because Wilkes took Textile into overtime and lost a surprisingly close 63-61 battle . This game proved that the Wilkes cagers can play tough on the road. Wilkes has four very tough games coming up and these matchups will either make or break the Colonels. It's going to be hard for King's to regain their composure after losing to Scranton and an injury to starter Charlie Lachner won't help them either. On the other hand, both Wilkes and Scranton are psyched ~nd optimistic about their upcommg games. Only two teaQlS will earn an invitation to the playoffs and it will be between Wilkes, Scranton and King's.

Textile, 68-51 by Ellen Van Riper The Beacon recently has not been covering the women's basketball team, so a brief description of the game played since the end of last semester will be given to help our readers catch up. At present, the overall team record is 5-10, and the Middle Atlantic ·conference competition record is 4-4. Over the semester break, the team participated in the Letterwomen's Tournament, hosted by Wilkes. In the first game, the Lady Colonels defeated Western Maryland College 68-52 to move into the finals against Marywood College . High scorers were Diane Hall, with 14, and Stacy Keeley, with 12. The team lost to Marywood in the finals 4 7-43, and the high scorers were Keeley and Sallie Jones with 10 apiece. Keeley was selected as the most valuable defensive player of the tournament . Stacy is a sophomore nursing major from Mt. Holly, N. J. , and was selected to fill the position of captain, left vacant by Diane Kendig. The team next travelled to Moravian College where they were defeated 77-62 . Top performers were freshman Kim Smith with 20 points and Karen Bove with 11 and Stacy Keeley with 10. The Lady Colonels next played a big game at home against King 's. Robin Fry, the head coach at King's, was an assistant under Wilkes head coach Nancy Roberts last season, so the matchup had extra incentive for both teams . However, the gam~s was not as close as expected, and Wilkes was defeated 86-65. Top scorers for the Colonelettes were Karen Bove with 14 and Kim Smith with 12. In the next game, again played at home, the Colonelettes played an overall excellent game and defeated a talented Albright team 72-62. The key to the game was the wellexecuted , ream defense played by the Lady Colonels. The team also displayed a balanced scoring· attack as five players hit for double figures. Karen Bove and Mary Jean Farrell led the way with 17 and 16, respectively, and were supported by Stacy Keeley with 12, Kim Smith with 11 and Sallie Jones with l O. The women then travelled to New Jersey where they are defeated by Upsala College 93-54 . The game was a very emotional one as both the players and coaches from boJh teams complained about the officiating and rough play . Sallie Jones led the team with 16 points and Karen Bove and Stacey Keeley added 12 and 11 each, respectively. Elizabethtown College, a powerful MAC team with a 10-1 record, came to Wilkes where they dealt the Lady Colonels a 83-40 defeat. The Blue Jays of Elizabethtown starting off scoring quickly , and the Colonelettes were unable to catch up. High scorers for Wilkes were Kim Smith and Sallie Jones with 13 . apiece . The Colonelettes then hosted Luzerne County Community College in a game played last Saturday and were defeated 57-44. The MinuteMaids of LCCC used an ef. fective outside shooting game to build an early lead which they never relinquished. At one point, the Lady Colonels cut the lead to four, but found themselves down 34-24 at the half. Mary ·Jeah Farrell led Wilkes with 10, and Kim Smith and Sallie Jones added 8 apiece. This Monday the women travelled with the men ' t team to play a double-header against Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences. The Lady Colonels were defeated 68- 51 .

The system in use at W il kes looks at four primary facto rs: SAT math scores, SAT verbal scores, high school rank , and the gradepoint ave rage in high school English and math courses. This last factor is included because it allows the ad missions personnel to com pare h igh school performance in English and math with the SAT verbal and math scores. W uori noted that th is uniq ue system allows these four criteria to be treated equa ll y. He pointed out that " m ost ad- •• missions systems are and should be unique to a college , " but some consistency among the various systems is achieved in that most colleges use the SAT results in one way or another.

The Beacon is publishing this rape awareness story so that women can be alerted to preventions, precautions and alternatives. Much of the following information was obtained from Carol Lavery of Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR). Rape is a violent crime done to degrade and humiliate another person ; it is not normal sex . ·when a person forces someone else to have sex, it is rape. People are raped by someone they know (acquaintance rape) , or by a relative (incest). A weapon , a fist or verbal threats are used as methods of force. Statistics indicate that in 1980 in Luzerne County, 119 clients contacted the WOAR office. The 15-1 7 age group had the largest number of victims, with the 2<1-25 age group following closely behind. According to Carol Lavery , President of WOAR, this is because women in these age groups are " more accessible . They are usually the ones that are out alone .'' One out of every 10 women are raped . There are very little on-the-street rapes in Wilkes-Barre,.- rapes that occur "right on the street." Lavery noted that , in most rape cases , women are picked up at a dance or skating rink, taken to a secluded area, raped and then brought. back to the area were they were originally picked up .. These victims are "very rarely beaten up ,' ' according to Lavery . Lavery related that the majority of rapes are done by acquaintances of the victim. "The younger the person , the more likely it is they will be raped by someone they know, '' stated Lavery. She said that the rape victim should know she is not alone or crazy . She should seek help and will probably eventually get over tt . Altfiough there is no " right way'' to protect you rself and prevent a rape from happening , certain 113 South M•fn St. Do-town Wllkea-hrr• HOUIIS: Dally 11 e.M,•5:3' p.m. M4HI. & T'hvrs.: 11 ■ .111.--t p.,n.

Prevention and Protection There are normally three things that can determine what a woman 's chances are of being raped. First, what kind of person would you · be as a potential victim - a . fighter or a talker' Lavery classified a fighter as a person who would poke a stick or hat pin in the rapist's eye. " You wot:ld actually be using dirty street fighting , and trying to beat the hell out of the guy.'' However, she cautioned that a fighter should fight to get away from i:he guy and not to get the bet- _ ter of him. Talking can sometimes work as well as fighting. Lavery said that you should talk to the attacker and try to make him see you as a person and not just a body . Trying to convince him that you are not amacred to him sometimes works , also. "The best thing to do," explained Lavery , " is to try everything. Unfortunately, there is not way to tell what kind of rapist the guy is , so there is no sure way of knowing which strategy will work. " The second factor pertains to the rapist himself. What kind of rapist is he 1 With certain types , fighting works . Some rapists actually believe that no matter what you do or say , no matter how much you say no, you really wane sex. Lavery stated that this is the way the majority of rapists think. · The sadistic rapist makes up the smallest percentage - 3 % . This type of rapist, Lavery explained, " is because an attacker can easily trap a the type that mutilates and usually woman by grabbing her scarf. kills the victim. Just about all , The "Typical" Rapist sadistic rapists tie up their victims. According to Lavery, there is no H~ is excitssJ by the battle, and typical rapist.

They ·encourage the victim to talk , and they listen . The point is brought out that the victims should not blame themselves or feel guilty in any way . Lavery also said that they advise the woman to get a medical exam as a safeguard against disease and pregnancy. A WOAR volunteer will accompany the rape victim to the hospital, police and court as a means of providing support . " We also help them make decisions, which is sometimes difficult for a rape victim to do ,'' srated Lavery . "We can sometimes alleviate the horror stories of going to the police. ' ' The majority of rape victims do not prosecute the rapist , according to Lavery. " The rape victim has to make up her own mind to prosecute. However, if a rape victi m reports the rape to the police: it does not mean she will have to prosecure . WOAR is a comprehensive service to rape victims, family members and peers - anyone who is affected in any way by a rape , whether it be a father , mother , boyfriend , husband or friend . ~ri-Organizational Meeting Continu~d from page I. needed. In response, the Conyngham building was renovated.'' While student leaders expressed a concern about the relationship between representatives and administration, administration felt that this relationship would not be damaged, if maintenance of the closeness becomes a priority on both parts. Vice President of Student Government, Marla Brodsky , said, "We can't expect everything to be our decision . Some things are decided by the administration . We should be thankful that the administration is willing to sit down and talk with us like this. Most schools wouldn't be this lucky.' ' Stark Hall Regulations · Many students questioned the Stark Hall rules that are in effect which only allow a fixed number of rooms to be utilized for study pur- poses until 1 a.m. Dr. Hartdagen replied that the rules were put into effect due to student input. He continued that having all rooms open 24 hours a day is a waste of energy, can lead to theft and damage to the building. It was also brought to the security in Stark was not performing all of its prescribed duties , especially that of collecting identification cards at the door. Dr. Shaw said that every time he checks, he is asked for identification and is unaware of this lack of security. Additionally, he continued that due to the size of the building, there is never going to be 100 percent security. "The firm we use is Del Cap Security.

Study Habits Throughout this academic year -we have all heard a great deal about the student 's displeasure concerning the restrictions on the use of the Stark Learning Center. Many students feel that the Stark Learning Center is a good place to study . However, these students believe that the college should provide this study space around the clock. It has been suggested that the library hours should also be extended so· that the students can study there. The library staff, however, is not thrilled by the idea of working extended hours. Therefore, it has been suggested that a security guard,,. stationed at the desk could make sure that no one removes any books from the building. This is nonsense. The library is already the target of vandalism, and the administration would not be thinking if it opened that building at night. There are too many expensive -books, furnishings and other pieces of equipment in the library that would be subject to possible vandalism by individuals not solely interested in studying. The Stark Learning Cener has also been a target for vandalism , but one of the reasons for the Stark regulations is to hopefully cut dowo that vandalism. Maybe the study rooms currently open in Stark should be closed. That would significantly reduce vandalism . Many students complain that there is no place for them to study . They should not have to be reminded that it is not the responsibility of the college to provide a place for each student to stud y. Each student should arrange his schedule _to accomodate study hours, and if his study ha bits m ust be changed then that it what must be done. Finally, many resident students complain that they cannot study in their rooms because there is too much noise. These students must be reminded that on page 45 of this year's student handbook it is stated that "Conduct and noise interfering with the. study and sleep of.residents are unacceptable. It is expected that after 7:00 p.m . on week nigh ts from Sunday through Thursday, general quiet hours will be in effect. On weekends general quiet will prevail in all residence halls after 1:00 a.m." Letter Policy USPS 832-080 Patti Sp ar/ow Editor-in-Chief Lisa Gurka News-Copy Editor Louis Czachor Managing Editor John Finn Assistant News Editor Peter Steve Sports Editor Dave Capin Assistant Sports Editor Vanessa Martz Business Manager Mary Kay Pogar Feature Editor Michele Serafin Advertising Manger Doug Fahringer Assistant Feature Editor Lorraine Koch Circulation Manager Larry Corona Photographer .Dr. Norma Schulman Advisor Reporters : Bob Buchsbaum , Lisa Cobb , Elaine Czachor , Chris Care , Amy Elias, Roya Fahmy, Mark James , Tom Jordon , Stan Ray , George Saba , Anthony Sibiya.

On this special day, people send greeting cards called Valentines to their sweetheam, friends and members of their families . The tradition of Valentine 's Day can be traced back to ancient Rome where a god named Lupercus guarded the people from wolves , which were a great menace at that time . To honor this god , there was a festival every Feb. 15 , at which time young people drew lots for game partners . In 270 A.D ., Valentine, a Roman priest, was killed during the Christian persecution and was made a saint. His feast day was established on the otri4th of February and soon the two days were combined. Acceptance of St. Valentine as patron saint of lovers . later developed . The most plausible reason is the European belief that birds begin to mate on Feb. 14 . This notion presumably suggested that lads and lassies should choose lovers on this day and exchange gifts. Then the word "Valentine " was applied to both person ,and presents. Through the years, England, France and the United States have bEe n the great Valentine's Day _ ~ - ~ ~ ~ ~ ,\\ 0 -;~ :1 a aw .

' according to Erick Hawkins, pionee r of modern dance . Hawkins gave a lecture / dem onstration Monda y night in the CPA as a "warm-up" to the performance of the dance com pan v on Wednesday night. Although th e Monday night program was not quite what most of the aud ie nce ex pected , it turned out to be informative , and gave the audience some insight into Hawkins ' views concerning dance . Hawkins expounded on his views ocncerning his conception of movement . He said , "Where is dancing do we get the most beautiful and efficient movement ' The most beautiful movement is effortless it so deepl y obeys the laws of nature that the movement is wonderful. " The " laws of nature" fig ured quite prominently in Hawkins' development of m odern dance. He believes th at the reason a new development was needed in the world of modern dance is bec2use of the new scientific knowledge that has come to light. He has tried to apply this scientific knowledge about the movem ent of the bodv to modern dance to create some · ef. fortless and efficient movem ent : The lecture concluded with a deomonstration by eigh t members of Hawkins' dan,ce company performing parts of two of the dances he choreogra phed. Unfortunately, the Wedhesday night performance could not be reviewed before presstime. §~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8 u n 8l' 8 8 8 8 8 § 8 § 8b-..,....,.....,....,...,....,.....,.....,.....,.....,.....,....,...,....,.....,.....,.....,.....,.....,.....,.....,...,...28 collegiate crossword Erick Hawkins - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ..

In the beginning, the practice was to send gifts rather then verses, although a verse or motto usually accompanied it. Later the verse itself became the Valentine . The custom of giving lavish presents was evident , for instance-, in the times of Charles II , during the 17th century, when the ladies drew the gentlemen ' s names in Valentine 's Day lotteries . There was a certain Duke of Richmond , who , when drawn by a Mrs. Stuart as her Valentine , gave her a jewel worth $4 ,000. Nowadays, the humorous ~nd ' usually unkind Valentines , called "comic," seem . to be outmoded, and there is more of a return to the typical Valentines which are supposed to be anonymous, so there 's no reason to feel silly about sending them . So, at this time of year when the birds are nesting and new hope is springing, start deciding who you will choose to be your Valentine' Visitation Day is coming' Visitation Day is the da y prospective students spend the afternoon touring the Wilkes campus. seeing fi lms and hearing lectures. Only this year, there will be more touring and less lectu ring . ac ording to Marla Brodsky . tour coordinator for the project. Visitation Day will be March 29. and while some plans are still tentative. the sc hedule is prett y well outlined . Registrations will be from 11 :30 a.m. to I p.m . and at that time . tours will also be conducted from the gym. At I p .m .. o pening comments will be made. and form that time until 5 p .m., tours will be co n ducted from the Alumni House. These tours will be led by 12 students from the admissio ns offi ce, and a number of " recruits'· who will be selected fro m a group of volunteers . These students will help register students and direct traffic on campus that day . Also from 1-'i p.m. . three breakdown sessions are scheduled. At the first breakdown. Dean Hoover will speak to the prospective students, while at the others. parents will be informed about financial aid -or will participate in a discussion session with Dea n Lampe . Following this there will be a • meeting with the Department Chai rpersons , parents and students . The day will end with a reception at Weckesser Hall for the parents , and a reception at the Student Ce nter fo r the students. The project this yea r is run by Linda Hobrock and Barbara Welch. According to Brodsky . two years ago (when the project was started) prospective students were barraged with film s. lectures. slides and pamphlets. This year the emphasis is going to be on the campus itself , and showing the students and parents what Wilkes has to off er. The three leaders of the Student Government organizations - Joe Galli , Bill Miller and Janine Tucker, are asking for participants to help tour guides and register the students for the afternoon.

McHenry commenced that it will be the same program with the same quality of instruction and same op• portunities as the program offers here. She noted that the services will not be diluted in any way. McHenry expressed uncertainty as to the number of students who will be a!Jle to take part in the program , but she did note that the current limits on the numbers of nursing majors on campus wilf be maintained. She pointed out, however, that if the program warrants it , the facilities at the Hospital could be developed to handle more students, but it would be very costly to develop lab facilities theres Students there will pay the same tuition and fees and have the same services, benefits and opportunities as students here on campus. The advantage to the students in the program is that they will be saved the expense of living in a residence hall here.

Muhammed Ali and the New York Jets , our Wilkes College basketball ream has suffered defeat. All of the above had great potential , but were stricken down in the prime of their life because they either didn ' t know when to quit or just didn't have a winning attitude.

However, both the players and fans have not responded. The Colonels went through a few bright moments of enthusiasm generated by Coach Righter and the Wilkes fans. Then there were games like Scranton . King's (part II) and Elizabethtown where Wilkes had a big lead and then lost it in the last half of a game.

The unfortunate news is that starter Paul Scaliti may be lost for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. At press time it is not fully known how long Paul will be out of action. At this point in time the diagnosis of the injury has been narrowed to two possibilities, a chipped bone of the knee cap or, a torn tendon of the knee, both of which are serious injuries that could keep Paul out of action indefinitely. "Beef," as his is referred to around campus, has a rich background in basketball circles all over the East Coast. As a freshman. "Beef" played at Biscayne College which has a Division I basketball program and contributed a considerable amount to their program. Biscayne's basketball program is similar to Wilkes' wrestling program in that it is a small school and most of their intercollegiate athletic teams compete in Division III except for one sport. In the case of Biscayne College, that Division I sport is basketball. Biscayne College plays such teams as the University of Maryland, -Georgia Tech, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Tennessee, all "big time Division I basketball schools." "Beef" feels his experiences at Biscayne where excellent, and also that he played under a very knowledgeable coach, During the year he spent at Biscayne, "Beef" has one claim to fame, he led the Sunshine State Conference in field goal percentage, as he shot 62 percent from the field. "Beef" transferred to Wilkes last year but was forced to sit out due to NCAA ruling whith forces an athlete to be "red shirted" for one year if he transfers from a Division I school to any other school. The only way an athlete can play the immediate year following a transfer is if he orshe transfers from one Division III school to another Division III school. During this, his first year at Wilkes, "Beef" was averaging 12 points per game. Besides averaging double figures for the Colonels, he has Ileen a tremendous asset in both rebounding and passing departments. As a guard, "Beef" has been more than holding his own when battling much taller players for rebounds. More important than his statistics · however, is his attitude. Many of the younger players look to him for encouragement because he played "big time college basketball." It seems when he starts to play with intensity, the whole team begins to play wit.h more intensity. If "Beef" is unable to return to the Colonel lineup it could be very difficult for the team to win the upcoming key MAC games. However, if the team remains mentally tough, this unfortunate news could prove to be the catalyst in the team's quest for an MAC playoff bid. When I reflect on athletic teams and players who become injured, I always become troubled as to fan reaction. It seems that fans only cheer for the people who are actively participating, but what about Paul Scaliti and all of the other athletes like him? Do they deserve to fall by. the way side just because they aren't "active" anymore? Paul, this column was written to tell you that even though you may be out of action for the remainder of the season, my cheers will be just as loud for you as they will be for the rest of your teammates. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the student body in wishing_ you a quick and full recovery from your injury. I would also like to wish'the basketball team the best of luck in tlteir uest for an MAC bid. Swim Team Record o-s by Chris DaRe With two remaining meets , rhe Wilkes College swimming team is staring at the prospect of a winless season. After three losses last week the Colonels are at a disappointing 0~5. The Colonels' week started with a loss to East Stroudsburg State College. The warriors won 59-36 . N'ext came a 56-34 loss to Susquehanna , and finally a 76-24 defeat to Lycommg. Despite the team 's disappointing record, there have been a number of sterling performances. . Reed Bello is slowly proving himself as one of the top divers in the Middle Atlantic Conference if not the entire nation. Reed has ;on every diving competition 'he has entered this year . Although bothered by a bad back , Reed won at ESSC, Susquehanna and Lycommg. Reed's performances at Susquehanna drew raves reviews from head coach Bob Greenwald. ''I've never seen him dive as well as he did at Susquehanna. He was ex tremely impressive.' ' Bello, a sophomore from Holland, Pa, was beaten by the same Susquehanna diver a year ago. Add that plus the fact that he won on the road, and you can see why coach Greenwald was so pleased. In winning both diving events at Lycoming, Reed greatly enhanced ·his chance for nationals . Diving coach Bob Lewis thinks Reed has an excellent chance to qualify. In the Susquehanna meet, Robert Doty, a senior from State College, came withtn . I of a second of his pers\:mal best in the 200 t>ackstroke. Other top performers in the Susquehanna meet included: Michele Maguire, who garnered a first in the 200 fly , and the 400 free relay team . In the ESSC meet Maguire again won the 200 fly ; Doty won the 200 breaststroke , and the relay ream won. In looking back at the last three meets, one cane see a tremendous amount of improvement ; the swimmers are finally rounding into shape; and the scores are getting closer_. Hopefully that improvement will fm.tlly result in a numero uno in the win column . _. �February I :1 . l!J8J. The Beacon.

That is the best word to describe tlie kind of support the Colonels' basketball team has received in the last few games at the South Franklin Street Gy~n. Colonel fan support has been just pitiful. It was not my intention this week to do another column on fan support. but I felt that one commentary on such a dismal subject would be enough to jar the voices of everyone on campus. But after sitting in an empty gym this past Monday when the Colonels played Muhlenberg College, I decided it was time to pull out all the stops. Unless you haven't noticed, Wilkes College, your men's basketball team has a chance at making the MAC playoffs. They are in a_nip and tug fight with King's for the second playoff spot from the MAC '.'lorthwestern Division. The Royals of Scranton with the backing of their fans have already assured themselves of a playoff spot by boasting the best Northwestern Division record in the MAC. With the right amount of support, a few breaks in the form of King's defeats , and some heads-up play from the Colonels themselves. we might just be in action when the MAC Tourney rolls around on February 27 and 28, instead of watching the Royals and Monarchs on the court. I just cannot understand the reason for such _a low turn-out at the majority of men's games this year. We have a team which, at press tim~. owned a 10-9 record overall, and a 5-5 MAC record. Although the team 1s far from being undefeated, it certainly does not deserve the kind of support the fans have shown this year. . Watching tile Colonels in action throughout this season, I really believe that a roaring crowd in the Blue and Gold ' s favor makes a difference in the game's final outcome. More than any other Colonel team this season, the men's basketball squad is a team of inspiration . In the last three home games, the Colonels have played what one might best refer to as "spurt" basketball. By this I mean that for a few minutes of the game, the team can do nothing wrong. But then they fall into a slump and usually end up loosing a lead which they so frantically worked at establishing. With this type of up a nd down play, I think you can see where the fan support would come into play. A roaring crowd can turn the smallest plus for a team into a major factor. With a packed Wilkes' gym, the Colonels would certainly be able to use a deafening cheer to their advantage. A fired up crowd is definitely what the cagers ne·ed to lift them out of their up and down style of play. Usually it is the coach or the players that ta ke the rap when a team does poorly, and most of the time the criticism is justified. But this is one time when the fault is one the part of yo u and I. It is time for us to "take the ball into our own hands" sort of speak. As I said in the last column, it all comes down to a matter of pride. Pride in the institution, pride in the team, and pride in yo urself. At a time when apathy seems to be at its highest on campus, don't let this opportunity to prove otherwise slip away. Sacrafice some time. come to the game, and let everyone know you're proud to be a Colonel.

She makes 67 percent of her shots from the foul line , making her one of the top 10 · foul shooters in the MAC, but she is also one of the conference's top JO re bounders . She made three all-star teams while attending Valley West High School in previous years , but perhaps what is most impressive is her 940-point career there , not to mention the 14 points she averaged each game .

No. 1'8 February 20, 1981 Academic Standards Faculty Approves New Policy The faculty has given its approval to a new policy on Academic probation and ineligibility. The policy was presented by _the academic standards committee at the February meeting of the faculty at which time it was passed. The new policy was developed as an early warning system so that students will be encouraged t-0 maintain satisfactory averages and avoid dismissal from the college. Grades for courses take& in the semester, the semester average, and the cumulative average of work taken at Wilkes College to date are issued to the student at the end ·of each semester. These reports are used _to indicate a student's progress toward the degree, i.e. graduation. In order to identify students having academic difficulty as early as possible in their academic career, the Faculty has adopted the following regulations. These regulations are designed to return the student to normal progress toward the degree as quickly as possible. · Freshmen, defined as students who have attempted fewer than twenty-four credits, must main- Pew Grant Received; Two Uses Scheduled by Louis Czachor The college has received a $102,000 grant from the Pew Memorial Trust to be used for renovations to the Stark Learning Center and the establishment of an audio-visual resources center. The college received the grant last October and it was originally earmarked for renovations to Stark and refurbishment of the Conyngham Carriage House located behind the Conyngham Student Center. The renovations to the · Stark Learning Center have already been completed_and consisted mainly in repairs needed in moving the Philosophy and Education departments there. The Conyngham Carriage House is another story. The Pew Inside, Brown Publishes Book p.3 ·Welcome Home Bruce! pp. 6, 7 Celebration Memories Foundation had given a major grant to the college a few years ago to refurbish the Student Center. Since the Carriage House is also part of the Conyngham Estate it was thought that it would be a nice idea to refurbish it too. However, after receipt of the grant, a structural engineer determined that the building would need more work than was at first anticipated. This would also mean a greater expense than had been anticipated. Dr. Thomas Kelly, dean of external affairs, explained that the college then went back to the Pew Foundation and they were grateful that the college did so. The foundation then decided to redesignate the fuIJds to the establishment of an audio-visual resource center to be located in the library, In establishing the audio-visual center/$72,000 will be used to purchase such things as audio-visual equipment, sets of slides, films, and filmstrips to be used by the various departments. A committee of the faculty dealing with audiovisual concerns will make recommendations to President Robert S. Capin and Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen. The audio-visual center should be established later this semester or during the summer so that it will be operating by next fall. tain a minimum 1.70 in both their major and cumulative grade point averages .. All other students must maintain a minimum 2.00 in both their major and cumulative grade point averages. Any student' whose average falls below the minimum required will automatically be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic pro bation may be restricted to a twelve hour load each semester they are on probation. All waivers of this restriction will require approval of an appeal presented by the student to the Academic Standards Committee. The Academic Standards Committee may impose additional restrictions and requirements in individual cases when it determines such restrictions and requirements are in the best interests of the student and the College. Students who have been placed on academic probation for a period of one calendar year will automatically be declared academically ineligible to enroll in any course at Wilkes College until · he or she has been approved for readmission to the College by the Academic Standards Committee. Petitions fore readmission will not normally be considered until one calendar year after the student has been delcared academically ineligible. Students readmitted will be placed on academic probation. Students declared academically ineligible may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee to have this action reversed. Such appeals will normally be heard only where the student has shown significant progress toward the achievement of a 2.00 average.

The firm of Pyros and Sanderson will complete drawings and plans for the new residence hall. The college is planning to undertake a fund raising campaign with a goal of $2 million to help fund the cost of construction of the new residence hall. The proposed schedule for construction is as follows: February Small School' Convention Cancelled Joe Galli had ·stated that if fewer than 20 schools planned to attertd the convention would be cancelled.

Rooney statechhat the members of the subcommittee of SG's social committee which is sponsoring the weekend are considering the possibility of a gym party on Friday, March 20. The party would feature a country-western theme, and activities would include a square dance and a mechanical bull, if arrangements can be made. The alternative to the party in the gym would be a party in the Student Center. Those attending the student center party would be asked to come ckessed as something all-American. A picnic is planned for Saturday, March 21. Hamburgers and hotdo~ would be served in addition to other picnic foods. Games would be featured as part of the picnic. A talent show is being planned for that Saturday night. The talent show would be featured by the SG social committee subcommittee and M.E.N.C. The subcommittee is also looking into the possibility of having a I fireworks display on the night on Sunday, March 22. Rooney also announced .that the trfp to Atlantic City which ' had been schedulec:l for this past Sunday had been cancelled. He noted that it will- be re-scheduled, and those who paid for the cancelled trip can pick up their refunds in the SC office. SG President Joe Galli announced that the student life committee has recommended that the lobby area of Stark be converted into a lounge where smoking and eating will be permitted. It was also suggested that the furniture now in Stark Lobby be removed and replaced with furniture more appropriate for such a lounge. Also, ash trays and trach receptacles should be placed in that area. Galli requested the representatives to give their opinions on these suggestions. SG Vice President Marla Brodsky stated that she thought it was a good idea because right now people throw cigarette butts and papers all over the floor. Bill Miller, Commuter Council President, pointed out that one of the things in the proposal is to have a student work in the lounge to keep people from throwing cigarette butts and garbage on the floor. · Tom Farley rlJ~ a question as t~ whether using the •n:a .for a, tounge would cause interferenee with climes being eondueted in Sl:.CHH. Dana Shaffer echoed: Farley's concern and stated that before any final decision is made the possibility of disturbing classes in SLC 101 should be looli:ed into. IR H c by John Finn The Commuter Council will conduct an open-house in their new office next Thursday, Feb. 26 during the activity period. C.C. president Bill Miller said the purpose of the open-house is to acquaint people with the new office location (second floor of the student center). Social committee chairman Joe Bubbico reported that last Fridays St. Valentines Day Party was successful. The next joint C.C.1.R.H.C. venture will be a St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday, March 14. This party will be at the new Sheraton Crossgates on the square. The special Events committee will sponsor a skating party on March 19, 10:30-12:30 p .m. This is the Tuesday following the Spring break. The Food Service committee heard reports from council members of specials running out at the student center snack-bar. Also, councilman Joe Know gave his recipe and cost analysis of a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, and concluded that even though the student center's BLTs are the cheapest in the valley, they are still too expensive. IRHC representative Janine Tucker said she was very pleased with the Valentine party and is looking forward to the St. Pat's party. Tucker also announced that a "Rape Awareness Seminar" will be held following the Spring break. No definite date was given, but the seminar will be limited to 15 people. Any interested individual should contact the Housing Office for further information. COPUS members will be travel• ing to Harrisburg on A March 3 for a statewide organizational meeting ----Academic Standards Discussed by Donna Nitka The main topic of discussion at Sunday's IRHC meeting was the student proposal to set admission standards for Wilkes. The proposal was passed by Student Government on February 9 but, as of this writing, has yet to be presented to Admissions. Under the pr posal, a student under consideration for admission would have to meet the following requirements: 1) The student must have received a minimum combined score of 850 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. 2) The student must have attained an overall academic average of at least 75 or 2.5.

He noted that it is a bad time of year for many of the schools because they are involved in elections and other activities. Galli suggested that SG should try to sponsor a convention at some later date because he felt that it was an idea that can be very beneficial to the college and the students. 3) The student must have graduated in the top 40 % or upper 2/5 of his class. Letters of recommendation and participation in extra-curricular activities would be considered for students who were borderline. Students who were admitted conditionally would be assigned a special advisor. The advisor would work closely with the student, helping him adjust to a college curriculum. Students under the Act 101 program would also be admitted. It must be stressed that this is just a proposal. The proposal was, designed so incoming students would have little trouble adjusting to college life. The Commuter Council office is now located on the second floor in the Student Center. Hours are from 11 to 2 daily. Due to the increasing number of parking violations, parking rules will be strictly enforced. If a car is not parked in the correct lot, or if it is blocking other cars, it will be towed at the owner's expense.

Professor Publishes Study of Family Life by Louis Czachor Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Bruce W. Brown has recently completed three years of work on a book intended as a historcial and life cycle analysis of cultural values concerning family life in America over the last 60 years. The book, entitled "Images of Family Life in Magazine Advertising: 1920-1978," is an empirical study designed to answer some questions about cultural values in the past as expressed in family life: . Brown explained that the topic of family life has become very popular in the last ten years, and it has been discovered that our ideas about family life in the past have not always been correct. He stated that he wrote the book "to provide empirical evidence, to support or refute popular ideas about family life in the pa t, and also to go beyond the existing literature in this area ." The book is in production now and it will be released in early fall 1981 . It is being published by Praeger Publishing in New York City. Brown credited his wife Anna as an invaluable research assistant. Also, his wife is the co-author of the second chapter of the book. About his book Brown stated, "some family life values analyzed in the advertisements were such things as family roles, family companionship and family intimacy." Brown explained, "Overall, the movement toward egalitarian family norms has been fairly substantial since 1920, particularly in terms of family companionship and intimacy. The area of family roles still appears to be a major stumbling block. To summarize the findings of this study in one sentence: One could say that the cultural values reflected in magazine advertising increasingly have supported the notion of family members as more compassionate and intimate, although they continue to perform their traditional roles almost unchanged ." Musical Celebration Billed for We•e kend "Celebration", the unique and innovative musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, will be performed at the CPA this weeitmd by Wilkes students. High school night is Thursday, February 19 at 7:30 p.m., and other show dates are Fr iday and Saturday, February 20 and 21 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, February 22 at 2 p.m. Jones and Schmidt also coauthored the world's longest running musical, "The Fantasticks" They created " Celebration" through musical and verbal improvisations at their Manhattan Portfolio Workshop in 1968 and 1969. The play opened at the Portfolio in 1969 and then moved to Broadway a few months later. It h as sin ce b een performed throughout the world , and "Celebration" has become extremely popular with young peo- ple wherever it has played. Set in a contemporary city on New Year's Eve, "Celebration" portrays in song and dance the struggle between an idealistic youth and a cynical old man for the affections of an angelic girl. Using primitive masks and ritualistic movement, "Celebration" recaptures the thrills of ancient theatre through a mixture of old and new. The music includes sweet ballads, rousing chorus numbers, soft-shoe and rock-androll. Jones and Schmidt have attempted to add a new dimension to the musical theatre in Celebration by creating music and lyrics of genuine energy and warmth . General Admission is $3.50, but Wilkes Staff, Administration and Students will be admitted free of charge.

Advertising is a good tool to the family historian because it "is something the past has left behind for us that we can use," stated Brown. Brown added that his book will contain some of the ads that he has analyzed. In the past, Brown has written_ articles which have appeared in "The Family Coordinator," "The Journal of Comparative Family Studies," and "The Social Causes of Husband-Wife Violence". He also co-authored a book with M. A. Straus. It is titled "Family Measurement Techniques" and was printed by the University of Minnesota Press in 1978. Actditionally, Brown edited a book called " Readings and Famil y Sociology" (Ginn, 1980). Brown noted that he has been asked to speak at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society about some of the findings from his study.

Eaitoriolly Spczol~ing LETTERS Winter Week end Deemed A To the Editor: The pages of the Beacon were not intended to provide an avenue for those who wish to make attacks on individual personalities. However, last week and today we have seen such a display of this exact abuse. , Last week, the Beacon ran a special Valentine's Day issue, allowing each member of the college community to send a "personal" greeting to his or her sweetie. However, after compiling many of the messages, our editorial staff noted that several of them were not, in fact intended for sweeties, but personal attacks .o n individual personalities and quite blatant attacks at that. While the editorial staff removed the greetings that were obviously abusive, we know that probably twice as many slipped through. Needless to say, this was not the intention of the "Tender Loving Classifieds." If the editorial staff of the Beacon has to edit the content of a classified submitted by a student, one can only wonder about the level of maturity present in those students - especially students that would submit such nasty messages, knowing full well that the publisher (in this case the college and administration) would bear the responsibility if the object of the message were to sue for libel -0r slander. While the Beacon always welcomes input from students, the Beacon do not wish to become a method for personal vendettas or revenge. This is not the Beacon's purpose, and anyone familiar with any kind for journalistic ethics should be aware of this. To those students who submitted honest, mature and proper messages, the Beacon can only say THANK YOU, for you enabled us to publish what we think to be one of the best issues ever - and to the best of our knowledge the first 20 page issue of the Beacon in the history of the college. We are sorry that you must be subjected to this type of editorial. However, as we all know, it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone. This week again, students have seized the opportunity to attack individuals via the editorial page. In the future, editorial discretion will be utilized in printing all letters. Those deemed by the editorial staff to be attacks on personalities or individuals will not be printed, regardless if they are signed or not. The Beacon is not an avenue for venting personal grievances, and the editorial staff hopes that the college community become aware of this and utilize the avenues of input for the ends that they were intended. It's old news to say that February 6-8 w as W i nter Weekend. As the Winter Weekend Committee, we know only too well how much time and effort is required to sponsor an all-College weekend. Now that the planning, · errands, and innumerable little tasks have been completed we can look back with satisfaction. The general opinion is that Winter Weekend was quite successful and opinion that we wholeheartedly share! To begin, we would like to thank all of the students who participated in the activities - the weekend was for you, and we certainly hope that you enjoyed it. We thank you for your enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and for your patience while the inevitable little adjustments were made. Everyone knows that the Beach Party was a huge smash. Big thanks go to the gentlemen of Butler and Roosevelt Houses, and the women of the Third and Fifth floors of Miner Hall - without these people and the fine work that they did, the party could never have been pulled off. Special thanks go to Lisa Miller, Bill L~u~ie, Fred Danielle, Mary G1blm, Carol Cigarski, Vicki Smith, Betsy Ward, Kim Coccodrilli, and Pat O'Callagham for their superb work on the games; and to Marla Brodsky, Joe Galli, Tom Rooney, Dean Hoover and Dean Ralston for their efforts and C ongra tula tions f Ex tended For Weekend To the Editor: We would like to extend our congratulations to all the people responsible for a very successful Winter Weekend.

Readers Express Concern To The Editor: I would lilce to comment on the recent · Tri-Organizational meeting. On the whole I think both students and administration felt it was a success. However, there was one thing that I thought was very poor and I know other students observed it also. What I am referring to is the attitude that Dean Hartegen disp,layed throughout the meeting. Beside having a bored expression and practically falling asleep a few times, he also smoked his pipe and later chewed tobacco and threw it on the rug. It was especially offensive at this time, although it would have been at any time, as we were discussing college philosophy and have examined reaffirming values since the beginning of the school year. I have heard time and again that this reaffirmation of values can start with very small problems such as walking on the grass, littering, and generally showing lack of respect for Wilkes College. How can such things be taken seriously when a Dean would sit in front of almost fifty student leaders and spit tobacco in his hand and throw it on the rug under his chair? If Wilkes' values are to be reaffirmed, it must be done by all sectors, students, faculty and administration. If the administrators of this institution do not respect the values of this institution, or even exhibit common decency, how can the students be expected to do so? Sincerely, Two Who Care PS: Who cares? WE D01111 EDITOR'S NOTE: The spelling of the name of the administrator in question is Dean Hartdagen and not Dean Hanegen.

Administrators and students clarified and explained many issues which are of concern. Many students made constructive suggestions and comments. They were wrongfully omitted from Feb. 13th's Beacon article, "Administrators and Students Air Mutual Concerns at Meeting". Quotation marks should indicate an actual statement made. The one student comment included was quoted wrong. Contrary to the author's interpretation, I wish to clarify my statement. The reson being partly f~r defense and partly to inform the students of the harm of subjective reporting. In July· of '80, I attended a national con- EDITOR'S NOTE: -The author of this letter is correct, many students made comments, raised questions and vocaUzed suggestions at the recent Tri-Organizational meeting. However, the question u to why only one student quote wu includ- ed in the article is one of editorial decision on the part of the author of the article, something every journalist whether on the Beacon staff or New York Times staff must deal with. This editorial decision involved in writing the article is that which involves including that ·information which the author of the article deems necessary for the fairest story poaible. One may ask the reason only one student quote was included in the story. After reviewing the notes taken at the meeting, it was decided that this particular student was the only one who had any thing any relevance to say, and therefore should be made public. The statement by Marla Brodsky in the Beacon reads as such, "We can't expect everything to be our decision. Something are decided by the administration. We should be thankful that the ad. ministration is willing to sit down and talk with us lilce this. Most school wouldn't be this lucky." From reading the quotation, one can immediately see that Marla Brodsky is·familiar with the operations of other institutions and comparably speaking, Wilkes' student/administrator relationships are better, simply by the fact administrators take the time to meet with students. This quote can be said to reflect very positively on Marla Brodsky for having the wisdom to point this out, and upon Wilkes administrators for their time and energy. Keep in mind, many of the things said at the meeting were not positive. In her letter, Marla Brosky does not offer what she feels is the exact quotation. Moreover, the interpretation placed upon the quotation is that created in the mind of the reader and not presented on the printed page. In answer to her other points, the Beacon is not trying to create controversy, rather, if controversy exists, as a newspaper, the Beacon , ference, where representatives on?

A total of three planes carried the German family from Maryland to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport. German's daughter Debbie was on the first plane, Mr. and Mrs. Lodeski were on the second and the remainder of the German family were on the third. ,German was greeted by a receiving line of -local and state dignitaries such as former congressman Dan Flood; Congressman James Nelligan; Representatives Kevin Blaum, Fred Schupnick and George Hasay; childhood friend Tom Feeney and Rev. George Pawlush who gave the invocation. One of German's first co1'nments was, "It's good to be back in my hometown with those that I love." He went on to say that as a boy growing up in Larksville, he often wondered what life had in store for him. He also said he never could have imagined a welcome home ceremony such as this one in his honor. German commented that "this homecoming means more to me than all the others combined," meaning the ones in Responding to a question about the Vietnam veterans, German stated "We are not heroes. We just h;ppened -to be in the wrong place at the· wrong time." He further commented that the veterans deserve all the ceremony, pomp and rew1,1rds that are due them. "If my colleagues and I have contributed to any of this unity within the country, this patriotili~, I'm just happy about that." After the press conference, a. motocade carrying the_ German family proceeded to Wilkes-Barre public - square where Mayor Thomas McLaughlin presented German with the key to the city of Wilkes-Barre. German was also given a copy of a resolution passed by City Council and given to all the former hostages, $tating that they were all made honorary citizens of Wilkes-Barre. German then thanked the residents of Wilkes-B,me for their support during his cl!ptivity, and especially those who "sent cards, letters and cookies. Unfortunately, I never got any cookies." · Stating again that "we are not heroes, . merely freed Americ,ins," German commented that all 52 of the former hostages witnessed a "tremendous resurgence of Mrs. Theresa Lodeski, Bruce German's mother, to home .. B~ce German receives an official welcome and the key to the city of Wilkes-Barre from Mayor Thomas McLaughlin on Public Square. Citizens of Wilkes-Barre welcome Mr. and Mrs. German to Pqblic Square. New York City and Washington, D.C. "As the John Denver song says, it's good to be back home." A short press conference was then held, and German said that his immediate plans were- to get back with his family, relax and then go back to work. He also commented that some of the prices have come as quite a shock to him . "When I left, the price of gas was $.80 a gallon and it has almost doubled now." In answer to a question about his health, German responded, "I am well. I got a clean bill of health mentally and physically." He went on to comment that he tried to maintain his poise and his health by keeping busy writing letters and reading the Bible, which he said was very important to him. "My faith in God is important. He sustained me." patriotism and unity. " He said, "We are extremely proud to be a part of that. If our captivity was somehow a catalyst and brought the people of the United States together in any small way, then it was not in vain. I believe with all my heart that you and I live in the greatest country in the world, and we should all be proud to be Americans. " From the square, the motorcade proceeded to the Columbia Hose House in Edwardsville for ceremonies there. After these ceremonies, relatives and friends gathered at the Lodeski house for a reception, where German had the opportunity to speak with people he had not seen for some time. Bruce German attended Wilkes for one year. He had just returned from the service (Navy), and he and his friends enrolled as veterans under the GI Bill. When asked if he liked Wilkes during the time he spent here, he responded, "Yes, we enjoyed it. " German noticed some po_sitive changes that had taken place in Wilkes-Barre, such ~ various improvements in some buildings and their locations. "Things look better, more improved. Progress has been made." German's _ personal reaction when the embassy was first taken was, "bewilderment at first, because we weren't prepared at all for it. " He said that there were demonstrations to be held that day, possibly as a sit-in to protest. "But to takeover an entire embassy, no, we weren't at all prepared for that." When asked if he thought · the hostage situation would affect college-age students_' attitudes negatively towards foreign countries in the future, German said, "I would hope not. This was a unique situation - we were dealing with religious fanatics and there aren't .that many in the world. I don't think we'll have any problems with other countries. " German felt that this situation was unique because they were dealing with peopl e who "disregard all diplomatic laws. They don't know what the word diplomat means. " He feels that, on a whole, most countries in the world abide by these laws. "I don't expect it to ever happen again because I don't think anyone will take that chance." Commenting on Iranian students in the United States, German said that he understood there were Iranian students in the U.S. on visas for educational purposes that supplied their captors with information on what was happening here. The captors dangled such information in front of them, saying that the country was falling apart and the American people did not support President Carter_. "These type of people should be deported immediately, if we can ever find out why they were. I understand there are a good number of Iranian students that are interested in getting an education, and they're not in so much support of Kho- _ meini and his crowd. Those I have no problem with." German felt -that former president Carter was not given enough credit for what he did, and did what he could based on the advice he got. "The advice may not have been always good . The thing I do disagree with is letting the Shah into the country in the first place. That, I think, was the major mistake and as it turned out, we were told by the militants, was the straw that broke the camel's back. There were a series of events · leading up to that. They were tolerable up to that point. When that man entered the country, that was it. We became fair game." Although a foreign service officer does get an "anti-terrorist" type program - a few days of lee- Beacon reporter Lisa Gurka is shown with Bruce German during the interview. �• Bruce Ger man Returns To Home Town .. Hey, it's good to be back home again! Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Germa~ are shown relaxing with friends and relatives at the home of h!S mother, Mrs. Theresa Lodeski. From theotherside •••••••••••••••• Many series ha'ie been born out of movies, and once on the tube few have survived the weekly rating's race. The series '' MASH '' has not only survived the transformation to television, but also the replacement of four main characters. The series, which premiered in September 1972, has already lasted twice as long as the Korean war, which is its setting . Over the years the tone of the program has matured from a comedy into a show that is both drama and comedy. · The fear of becoming another " Hogan's Heroes " was the main reason behind the killing of Lt. Col. Henry Blake. It was not enough to allow the man to return home after the war, and he was sacrificed for the good of-all . Then the departure of Wayne Rogers created another gap to be filled . At this point the mood of the series shifted , as it lost the '' Animal House ' ' aura . The strength of the cast and the writers helped keep the series go_ing after a difficult start with two new actors , Harry Morgan and Mike Farrell. People who used to laugh at " MASH " now were asked to cry at times, or endure the frustration of a doctor who has lost a patient. W ith the backing of loyal viewers, " MASH" was elevated to a new level of quality programming. Now the series is an innovator of new ideas, and plays on other human emotions besides humor. The talent of the cast is endless, and much has been said about each member. There is one person on the program who has gone through it all with little attention being paid him , and yet he has created a most believable fharacter. Allan Arbus was first introduced to " MASH " viewers at an all-night poker game . From there the good doctor has found it necessary to visit on a regular basis, and even write a letter to Sigmund Freud . You may know him better as Capt. Sidney Freedman. Arbus treats the part with a great sensitivity, and must be the idol of many aspiring phychologists. The best never get fired they just retire , and "MASH" will soon retire from national television. Hawkeye is starting to show a lot of gray, and Klinger has even stopped wearing a dress . There has been a lot of talk about how many seasons the show has left, and I believe not too many . It will be a sorry day when such a high standard setter disappears, but the show has a lot to be proud of. After all , they have created the best program in the history of television. · ture in a seminar type format German felt that "nothing could ever prepare you for what we encountered - a mob of several hundred thousand religious fanatics." When asked if he thought there should be a special training pro.gram instituted by the U·.S. in case something like this happens again, German replied, "I think so, and also additional security measures at every embassy in the world." German does not feel there was a lack of security at the embassy because "when you're dealing with such a mob, nothing short of a division of troops br a tank corps · could prevent it." · The hostages did not know too much in advance that they were leaving for home. The captors did, however, fell them that day that they were going to the airport and going home. "But they made so many false promises that we wanted to be in the air before we believed them." · When German finally left Iran, he "couldn't believe it because we had so many up~ and downs. When it actually happened, we weren't quite sure, ev n when we took off, if it was a ploy. When we realized it was the Algerians who had us, we knew we were home free." · When asked how it felt to be back in his "old home town, " German reponded, "The over-used word is overwhelming, and that's just what it is. It's something none of us could have comprehended back there when we were captives. The support and reception we've · received is more than you can comprehend." · As for his future, German had this to say, "I intend to continue with the state department . I intend to be a foreign service officer. I may or may not go over seas again. It depends. Alot has to happen, alot of improvements have to take place before I go over again. I see no reason why any student at Wilkes, or any other college, would object to going into the foreign service, and make a career of it.

Conserve Water The Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council suggests eight methods which will help you conserve water during this time of shortage: 1. Take a three minute shower. This saves four to six gallons of water. It also saves time , giving you an extra minute or two to enjoy your morning coffee. 2. Shave or wash your face using a half-full basin. This saves three gallons. 3. Brush teeth and rinse using one glass of water instead of letting the tap run . This also saves three gallons. 4. Keep a container of water in your dorm fridge instead of letting the tap run until it gets cold. This saves about one gallon, and is more convenient. 5. If you wear hard contact lenses, don ' t rinse them under the tap, use a half-filled basin of water. This cuts· down on your chance of losing them down the drain. 6. Wash only full loads of I . • clothes. 7. Do not flush the toilet afte1 every use, if possible. 8. When drawing water for making tea or coffee, draw only the amount you need. You can alway: make more if you want it. More information about conserv• ing water may be obtained by contacting the Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council al 49 South Main Street, Pittston , Pa. 18640. With a little thought, conserva• tion of water can become very easy. �Page 8, The Beacon, February 20, 1981 Old Man Winter Predicted toStrike Again by Mark James If you think Old Man Winter is going to be nice and pleasant for the of the year, don't hold your breath. Once again that wiley old knave is up to his same old tricks. Remember, it is still February, the month of harsh winds, freezing rain, incessant snowing, and letdowns. After a week of sunshine and warm temperatures, many people may be feeling those strange and inexplainable pangs of spring fever. The strong apprehension about attending class, the weird desire to take a walk in the sun or even rain instead of partaking in those (ahem) always intriguing reading amgnments, the little activities that alw.ays seem to creep out of the limelight and into one's thoughts will be the main obstacle in reminding students that the semester is still in progres.,. Some students may even have the ghastly desire to blow-off climes and spend the day refreshing tlleir pallats with large quantities of alcoholic consumables. But don't be fooled, if it isn't too late . . While you were t°"5ing a frisbee, riding through the mountains, watching the river, or sleeping the hours away in bliss, the spirit of winter has been plotting and chuckling like crazy. When will he strike next? Nobody knows for sure. An obvious fact · is that nice as the weather has been, spring is not here yet. If youa re one of those rest people who begins hailing the return of spring as soon as resonably, and unreasonably, possible, look out! Just when you think winter has ended, giving you a newfound yearning toward laziness, the worst will occur. A few weeks of sobering subzero temperatures and a few more feet of snow will create what this writer likes to call an academic hangover. My prediction for the next several weeks calls for lousy weather. During the Spring Break the weather will stink wherever Wilkes people are to be found; unless, of course, they spend their break (must be nice) in Florida. So much for predictions. Heed this warning: STUDENTS BEWARE! Think of the mild temperatures as a sort of halftime in the winter season. The second half is about to get underway. Don't start your spring break two weeks early because if you do, there will be no time to enjoy the real spring. It is becoming clear now .. . The beautiful weather is a test of nature. Those students who use their time in a positive manner, studying and getting prepared for midterm examinations, will be able to enjoy the better weather later this semester. For the students (I find myself among them) who have a tendency to acquire the early symptoms of spring fever in the first sunny days of February, well, things get tough later. How a student gets through this brief week of nice weather and good times will determine whether or not he or she will pass this test of nature. The truth of the matter is this: it is all a plot between Mr. Coffeehouse -------------- C.

Winter and someone in the Wilkes Administration, possibly President Capin. A beautiful week followed by more miserable weather will have the psychological effects strong enough to help weed out any undedicated students. Those students will be left out in the cold, so to speak, at the mercy of Old Man Winter as opposed to being at the mercy of - never mind. It's a cute little arrangement, but don't letit fool you.

It should be noted that the colonels have not lost more than two bouts in any of their last three matches. This shows the maturity and intensity which has developed in the young team throughout the year. On Wednesday evening the Colonels hosted the Bisons of Bucknell University in the last home wrestling meet of the 1980-81 season. Bucknell has a strong wrestling program, and might very well win the East Coast Conference wrestling championships to be held later this_ month. However, our Col- WANTED - Computer pro• grammer to program newly purchased coach for fall and winter sports. Applicant needs to have four years of e%perience in athletic competition. For more information, contact the athletic department at ext. 3711. Can you imagine the day when coaches are no longer required to lead · our athletic teams into battle. A day when our prime athletes are under the supervision of mechanical thinking ma~hines instead of emotional people. A day when Colonel basketball players yell out to coach Robot instead of coach Righter. Although this kind of event ,eems absurd, it may just be what sports will be like a century from now. With the way science is touching all forms of man's existence, why should it not take hold of man's favorite pasttime. Just think of the consequences of robot coaches. On the pro side of robot generals, one of the biggest assets would be the money saved by the institution. The school which makes the initial pur- · chase of a robot sports authority would certainly save in yearly salaries after a few years of ownership. With standard changeable data banks, one robot would be able to coach all of the sports on campus if desired, provided that events are not scheduled at the same time. Another thing in the favor of the institution would be the orderliness of the coach during the game. No more technical fouls or penalties on the coach for voicing bis or her opinion too loudly to the referee. Also, the media would no longer have to worry about placing the blame of a ba~ game on the coach, for a robot coach would follow bis or her game plan toa tee. The players would probably like a robot coach as well because they would be able to express their displeasure with a command through physical means. Although these new coaches would be able to detect verbal complaints, physical punishment would be of no interest to the robot as long as bis or her data banks are not damaged. Picture how much fun a football or basketball player would have bouncing a ball off the coach's bead each time disargeement occurs. How about a pitcher lining a fastball at the coach when a smart comment is made by the robot about the pitcher's performance at practice. Just think of the satisfaction an athlete would achieve by venting bis agressions on the coach by means of physical abuse. If you get mad at the coach, pop him or her right in the head with the ball or stick or your fist for that matter. Oh boy, would practice be fun! The fans would also get a big kick out of robot coaches about as much as the players would. Popcorn, soda, programs, all of the necessary launching material in a disgrunted fan's arsenal would be received by the coach with no returned shots. It would probably be a lot of fun just to watch this stuffed piece of metal in an aluminum Wilkes' sweater racing up and down in front of his or her team, bleeping out instructions. Even though there seem to be numerous benefits of a robot coach, there are a lot of bad aspects as well. Can you honestly imagine a Colonels-Royals basketball clash without Ron Righter leaping up and yelling at the referee. Or bow about coach Reese slamming a towel to the floor in disgust over a particular call or bout. These kind of emotional expre.uions are classics. All through this column I mentioned a robot coach in both a male and female version. I did this because our female coaches on campus have their own little personal ways of coaching. A women's volleyball game would not be the same without coach Saracino giving a pep talk to the girls and "Miss Piggy". Or a women's basketball would just not be the same if coach Roberts could not yell at the official time-keeper for making a call in favor of the visiting team. Yes the lady coaches add their own special touch to the various contests. Setting aside all of the joking, human coaches can never be replaced by robots. Altough it may be physically possible, emotionally speaking, humans can never be equalled. I hope this column does not offend any of our coaches on campus for it is my odd way of expressing our need for every one of them. Besides bringing to each game a vast amount of athletic knowledge about their particular sport, each individual coach brings his or her own personality with them as well. I think we should be proud of the coaches we have on campus for they exemplify what an all around coach is all about. The coaches we have are truly leaders both on and off the field. Besides, what would we do if it ever rained on our robot coach? llobotCoaclaes? No Wayt ... , .......... ,, .. ,,,, onels proved to be too strong as they defeated Bucknell 32-6. The 177 pound bout was probably the most exciting Bout of the evening as freshman Mark Correll turned an 8-3 deficit early in the third period completely around as he won a hard fought decision 10-9 over Steve Greenly , AAccording to coach Reese, Greenly is .a very fine wrestler and he was very pleased with Correll's determination as he came from behind to earn the decision. On Saturday Evening the Colonels traveled to Williamsport to take on the Warriors of Lycoming College. By meets end the Warriors wrestling coaches and fans probably wished the Colonels stayed home as they were soundly defeated 45-0. Wilkes gained 2 pins, 3 superior decisions and 4 major decisions enroute to winning their third straight. Picking up pins for the Colonels were Doug Billig, and Jim Johnson. Billig Pinned Lycomings Mike Mason in 6:02, and Johnson pinned Mark Morgan in 6:57. The Colonels ·will end their regular season tomorrow when they take on Franklin and Marshall- College in Lancaster.

At p~ time, two bfg- MAC victories over Scranton University and F.D.U. Madison have given the Colonels a 7-5 MAC record, good enough for second place behind the divisionleading Royals of Scranton. The Colonels picked up the biggest win of the week· against the Royals at the Scranton John Long Center by defeating the defending MAC Northeastern champions by a score of 62-57. A jam packed crowd consisting of basically Royal faithful saw their home town team dominated in all areas of play by the fired up Blue and Gold. . High scorer for the Colonels on the night was junior forward Tony "Fudd" Madden who connected on six of his 15 shots from the floor and six of his seven free throws for a game total of 18 points. Behind Madden in the scoringc!epartment for the Wilkes' cagers were Kevin "J.J." Walker and senior captain Mike McCarrie with 16 and 15 points respectively. The Colonels played outstanding defense througliout the entire game but especially excelled in the finat 10;00 minutes of the contest, . holding the Royals scoreless from the 7:47 mark until the final minute of play when the Scranton team hit a meaing)ess field goal with :50on the clock. Defensive standouts for the Colonels included guard Pat McCue and Ros Zanghi who both combined to- shutout sharpshooter Tom Mineo for the Royals. Although Mineo finished the night with only seven points, he managed to join the very special 1,000 point club earlier in the ~eek against King'.s College. The win 0-ver the Royals was undoubtedly the biggest win of the year for it put added preassure on King's to win their key MAC games. The win also enabled the Colonels to determine their own future for once, instead of determining their fate on the performance of other teams. Trailing the Royals at halftime by a score of 30-28, the Blue and Gold came out in the second half to dominate the boards and the Jafion EVERY THURSDAY AT THE STATION: "OPEN MIKE NITE'' Air bands, fake rock groups, musicians, singers, dancers, stand-up routines, skits and other forms of talent.

Lead in the scoring department by senior Mike McCarrie who was two for four from the free throw line and hit five field goals for a total of 12 points, the Colonels had some trouble with the Devils. A hot shooting Dan Leibman gave the pressing defense of the Colonels some trouble by hitting from the outside and scoring 15 of his game leading 19 points in the first half. Leibman's outside shooting and some key Colonel miscues gave the Blue and Gold a slim 34-31 advantage at halftime. In the second half of play, the Colonels got some necessary outside and inside shooting help from Pat McCue and Pat Romish to put the lid on the game for the Wilkes' five. McCue and Romish combined for 20 points in the game and provided the needed .play op . defense to stop a determinedF .D. U. team. Bob Antonelli came off the bench for Ron Righter and- hit some key outside shots to help break a stiff Devil- defense. The visitors managed to shut down the Colonels inside game until Mc-CarrieF McCue, -and- Antonelli began to hit some long-shots, The Colonels inside game showed to be lacking as Kevin •1.J." Walker and Tony Madden both had only sevenpoints apiece in the contest. The win over F.D.U. Madison not only has given the Colonels a 7-5 MAC · record but also a 12-9 overall season record. With one MAC contest remaining ijuniata), the Colonels could finish the season with a MAC record of 8-5 (at best) or 7-6 (wont).

By virture of the strong finish to his impressive season, this sophomore from Holland, Pa. has been selected as this week's Beacon Athlete of the Week. In earlier years, Reed had become weary of the lukewarm routine in high school diving after just one year of competition; it seems he felt he had reached his potential. After coming to Wilkes, the situation changed. As a freshman, he began to develop his talent. "Last year my - dives were coming around. It gave me incentive to shoot for better dives," Reed said. With his desire to dive rekindled, Reed began to develop enough skill to do extremely well. He lost only twice last year while on his way to a third · place finish in the MAC championship. This year, Reed's undefeated record had been a valuable~ to the team. "It's nice to go into a meet knowing you're going to get a 10 or 15 point cushion from him," swim team coacli Bob Greenwald mentioned. "The past couple weeks Reed has been doing very well . . . I haven't seen him dive better," Greenwald added. Against King's, Reed had been diving with a strained back, but it didn't hamper his style. His dives · have a high degree of difficulty. More points are given for the higher dives, but the extra twists and rotations necessary make each point quite a task to earn . Nevertheless, Reed has been having a relatively easy year, with Dave Smith of Susquehanna giving him the greatest (but in vain) challenge. ·Reed Bello Reed attributes much of his success to his diving coach: "I have to give Bob Lewis a lot of credit. He helped me a lot." Taking the past two seasons into consideration, it appears that Lewis' coaching has had a strong effect, with equally gratifying results. The young diving coach said, "I enjoy working with Reed. He is one of the finest divers that Wilkes College has ever had." It is only a matter of time before Reed will -have the opportunity to plunge into the MAC championship for 1981, and the possibilities look promising. Said Bob Lewis, "I hope him the best in the MAC's. He has the potential." The Beacon staff would like to congratulate Reed Bello for his outstanding performance last week and throughout the season; and good luck in the Upcoming MAC championship. You have nothing to lose, but much to 'gain.'

Slowly, and probably unsurely . at times, the idea of female athletic competition began to grow. There was a time when the results of a girl's volleyball game, for example, would be placed in the social section of a newspaper. That is, 'of course, if such r~ults were printed at all. But sports are sports; now such coverage is no longer found on the 'ladies' page next to assorted recipes and gossip columns .. Women's sports is growing; and it is doubtful that the trend will change. Too many people care. One such person is Doris Saracino, the Women's Athletic Director here at Wilkes. For the longest time she has been a busy woman, doing her utmost to keep strong the trend toward a growing women's sports. Back in the early seventies, she was ori a MAC steering committee that was concerned with the formation of a college sports conference for both men and women. Today, the MAC is one of the few such conferences established for both sexes. This was just a start. In January of 1980, Ms. Saracino went to the NCAA national convention where several important resolutions were passed. In this historic event, the NCAA formally recognized women's sports. In divisions II and III, athletes in five women's sports (field hockey, tennis, swimming, basketball, and volleyball) were given the opportunity to strive for a national championship. Last fall, committees were or~anized to implement the OOrls Sar adn O necessary procedures to make such championships a success. Four people were chosen for each committee from all regions of the country. In Division III Volleyball, Coach Saracino was selected as one such committee member. In early Dec em her, the volleyball committee, among others, met at the NCAA national headquarters in Mission, Kansas. There, the organization began to take place for each respective sport. In volleyball, the NCAA National Committee adopted the following role: • the development of a national volleyball handbook • the drafting of rules of play • the formation and selection of a national advisory committee, which will be done later this spring. The advisory committee will monitor the progress of various teams in regions throughout the country . Polls will be taken to compare the records of these teams . Next, members of the advisory committee will contact one of the four national committee members. In ·Pennsylvania and New Jersey, telephone calls with such results will come to Saracino's desk. After receiving results on the teams throughout the two states, Ms. Saracino will share her information with that.of the other three national committee members. This will be done in a conference call with one person from the NCAA headquarters . All of the weeks' competition will be discussed in a five-way telephone connection. In addition to keeping tabes on the volleyabll teams, these four committee members will have even more responsibility: • they will look into possible sites for championship competition. • they will be responsible for the selection of the teams that will compete for a championship berth. • they will be responsible for input and judgement pertaining to any problems that may arise. • they will play a role in the selection and design of a national volleyball medallion. As a member of this very impor- tant national committee, Ms . Saracino will be an incredibly busy woman. In fact, she's had plenty of work and responsibility thus far . Most recently, she traveled to Miami, Florida for this year's NCAA National convention. Du.ring this convention, more plans were made with resolutions passed that add even more to the prestige of women's sports nationally. More sports are being sponsored in addition to those passed in last year's convention. Such women's sports as fencing, golf, lacrosse, gymnastics, softball, and outdoor track will become a part of the NCAA. Not only girls sports from divisions II and III are given this opportunity, bu division I teams in the sports selected last year will also be included. Perhaps the greatest accomplishments of the 1981 convention are the changes in the NCAA governences. Throughout the national administrative structure, women will now have imput and will play an important role. For example, in Lady Royals Destroy Colonelettes by Ellen Van Riper The women's basketball team had a .500 week as they split two games to run their overall record to 8-12. On Feb. 11 they travelled to Scranton where they were routed by the Lady Royals 80-36, and on Valentine's Day travelled to Misericordia where they defeated a tough Lady Highlander team 75-65. The outcome of the game at Scranton was never in doubt as the Lady Royals dominated the game from the opening tap. The starting five of Scranton executed their offense to perfection and used a swarming defense .to totally stymie the Lady Colonels. The women from Wilkes appeared to be totally confused by the tactics employed by Scranton, and they were perhaps a bit psyched out by the Lady Royals impressive record of 20-2 and their high national ranking. At the ons~t of the second half, the women from Wilkes showed some signs of life with a brief · spurt, but they were soon once again overwhelmed by the Lady Royals. It simply was not Wilk~' night as the ladies from Scranton continued to play their game and at times to score at will. The only relief for Wilkes was the final Swimmers End Disappointing Season At 0-7 by Chris DaRe On Saturday, Feb. 14, the Wilkes swimming team ended its regular season at Western Maryland. The Colonels were defeated by the Green Terrors 59-38. The loss ended a disastrous season for the Colonels. The Colonels final record was a very unimpressive 0-7. Last Wednesday in the King's College's Scanlon Gym, the Colonels lost to their cross-town rival Kings by a 63-37 score. Wilkes vs. Kings is a war no matter what sport. The rivalry has a way. of bringing out the best in the athletes that participate. Swimming is no different. Turning in stellar performances was again Reed Bello, who won both the required and the optional diving competition. Michele Maguire won the 200 butterfly, and Peggy Butchkavitz garnered a second place finish in the 200 freestyle. Despite the contribution of these three, the Colonels were sorely •Outmanned by their counterparts from Kings. With the victory, the Monarchs won their fourth meet overall, and third in the Middle Atlantic Conference. To say that the Colonels swimm. ing team had a disappointing season would be ·q uite a understatement, however there is still hope for them to salvage some success. Coach Greenwald and his troops must now put those seven losses behind them. The regular season is over. The swimmers must now concentrate on their second season; the MAC Championships. The Championships are slated for Feb. 26. We here at the Beacon would like to wish coach Greenwald and his swimmers the best of luck. all the national governing committees, the number of persons will grow to include women . A committee that once consisted of eight men will . grow to twelve in number, four of which will be women. · All of the women's sports programs at Wilkes are currently part of the NCAA. There is an option, good until 1985, on whether a school sports program is to choose to stay a part of the national association. With the advancement of women's sports throughout the country, it is no wonder Ms. Saracino has been and will be so incredibly busy. A sports revolution of sorts seems to be taking place. The number of women involved is growing l.arger every · year. Because -of the dedication and hard work put into the development of women's sports, those involved throughout the .nation and here at Wilkes stand commended for their efforts. You've come a long way, ladies . PERFECT FORM - An unidentified Colonel swimmer leaps into action against a recent opponent. Hope his form was good enough to win a first place. buzzer.

A spectator at the Misericordia game would have found it difficult to decide whether he or she was watching a basketball game or a bar room brawl. To say the game was rough would be an understatement. Both teams played with intensity and aggressiveness and were sometimes a bit too aggressive. The sound of the referee's whistle was a stranger to the game as both teams pushed, · shoved, and elbowed at will. The Lady Colonels built up a lead despite the rough play and led by nine at the half, 38-29. The second half started off rather strangely as the officials decided to have both teams shake hands to try to restore some form of good will. Misericordia took advantage of the goodness and generosity of Wilkes to come back and tie the score. The main catalyst during their surge wa~ Beth Lunger and · her outside shooting. From then on it was an all out war as the teams ~ngaged in a seesaw battle. The rough play continued and tempers began to flare . However, near the end of game the Lady Colonels rose above above their opponents as they exploited Misericordia's pressure defense for a few uncontested layups and easy baskets. The star of the game for Wilkes was Kim Smith who scored 22 points and ripped down 19 rebounds. She was followed by Karen Bove with 14, Diane Hall with 11 , and Sallie Jones with 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Conyngham Building••••••••••.-.··•··························· What Will Happen T o 3rd Floor? by Lisa Gurka With the move of SG and CC to the second floor of the Student Center, many people are wondering what is happening with the third floor and what is going to be housed there. Inside Tenur e 11 p.3 Cele brat ion Review p.6 E IW A Preview According to Dean of Management Dr. Andrew Shaw, there are various options being explored at this time. "There-are alot of things we are still not comfortable with . When we come up with any options, we will recom mend them to the President." He further commented that a look would be taken at what would best be justified on · the third floor . In accordance with Labor and Industry Rules and Regulations, and also with handicapped laws, an elevator was installed from the basement to the third floor . A sprinkler system was supposed to have been installed, also from the basement to the third floor, but was found to have been too expensive.· In December, 1979 , Business Manager Charles Abate and Eugene Manganello, personnel director, convinced the Department of Labor and Industry to install a smoke detector system which , according to Abate, produced about a $50,000 reduction ' in costs. Repairs and renovations are continuing on the third floor . At an estimated cost of $75,000, the Student Center's third floor is being painted and rewired, and the smoke detector system is being installed throughput the entire building. .

This committee then composed a questionnaire and distributed it to a random sampling of student . spring Break Library Hours p. 11 I Shao, will be placed in Weckesser where SG and CC were formerly located . The reasoning behind this, Shaw said, is that sometimes information for grants comes in late and it is important to have this office close to the administrator who has to sign the grant proposals, in this case Dean Hart- · dagen . The move of the research office will free an office for Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy of the Continuing Education department, which falls under Shaw's jurisdiction. Shaw concluded, "This is by no means the end of the line. ROTC and the political science department will be moving, also . We are utilizing the Space Utilization Plan - one that is being implemented to save money." Advising Cobamittee ------------------ r---------------------, 1 I I 1 1 I by Lisa Gurka The move of the SG and CC offices was part of "long-term plans of the college to consolidate facilities by taking out of service obsolete, inefficient buildings," according to Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management. Shaw commented that the move really took place four years ago when the College received as a gift, the Conyngham house. The College had to decide whether to tear it down or to rehabilitate it . At that time, however, students were requesting a building for a student union. It was then determined that the house could best be turned ·into a student center with a snack bar and a variety of offices, including SG and CC. · The concept, according to Shaw, was for a place where students could meet and discuss, among themselves, any problems they were having . Another thought was that it could be . a place which would bring about a greater interaction between dorm and commuter students, and also between Wilkes students . and members of the community. In fact, Shaw said that the WilkesBarre Chess Club will be holding their weekly evening sessions in the Student Center where Wilkes students could participate in the activities. · Since 1972, Wilkes has eliminated 14 obsolete buildings, and is hoping to eliminate perhaps 6 more. The escalating costs of maintaining the buildings is an important factor here. The research offices, run by Dr. The library hours during the Spring Break will be as follows: Feb. 28, Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p .m . March 1, Sunday Closed March 2- 6, Monday-Friday 8 a .m. to 5 p.m. March 7, Saturday Closed March 8, Sunday 2 p.m. to Il)idnight The library will resume regular hours, Monday, March 9. I , 1 I I I ~---~---------~-------~ The results of the survey were used to construct the committee's recommendations. The recommendations deal -with workshops for advisors, office hours of advisors, departmental meetings, advisors for conditional students and advising of special program students. SG president Joe Galli related that after the recommendations are gone over by Dean Gerald Hartdagen they will be placed on the agenda of the annual department chairmen's meeting in March. Galli explained that the next step would be to call certain students to discuss the recommendations with the department chairmen. Finally, the recommendations will be put to a faculty vote. PURPOSE This project was promoted through Student Government to provide a more beneficial and effective faculty adv-ising policy for the students. INTRODUCTION This project was started in September of 1980 by selecting a special committee consisting · of two students from IRHC, two students from CC, two students from SG and two students .from the student body at large. The committee then formulated a quesContinued on page 2 �Page 2, The Beacon, February 27, 1981 Sec a r i ty Force---------------------------- Provi des Safeguards by Lisa Gurka Del-Cap, the largest security agency in the region, is employed by the College as the security force ori campus. "Del-Cap was hired after an extensive study and analysis to determine the adequacy of the organization to perform on a campus as large as Wilkes," commented Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of management. The security guards are intended to serve as a deterrent force to acts of vandalism and to provide a more safe and secure campus through their patrolling on a zone basis. There are three main zones of patrol, with one man assigned to every zone. The first zone includes the area between the Student Center and the" Hotel Sterling; the s~ond zone runs from the Student Center up to the New Men's Dorm and the gym; the third zone constitutes the area from the men's dorm to West Ross Street. The guards are also responsible for punching a check key which is recorded on a time clock. Maintenance is responsible for locking the buildings, and security patrols the perimeters of the buildings and checks the doors to make sure they are locked. There are security desks located in Pickering and Stark Halls. According to Shaw, the security guards are certified people who receive training and have back-up forces. Some of them have training in CPR. Shaw also commented that the guards are reliable, and there is always someone here. The security guard's chain of command starts first with the R.A.'s, second the Director of Housing is contacted, then the appropriate Dean of Student Affairs, and finally the police. However, the seriousness of the incident determines who will be notified, Shaw commented that this is done so embarrassment will not be caused to either the student or the College. However, if a security guard notices a person removing items from the bookstore or a residence hall, he has the authority to contact the police directly. Eugene Manganello commented, "All of us should become more security conscious by making sure all doors are locked behind you, and things of this nature." RELAXING '- A Del-Cap Security guard is shown relaxing after patrolling the campus. Security patrols the campus grounds regularly as a precautionary measure. Many guards are trained in CPR and other lifesaving methods. cc------------------------------------------------------------- Location Of Coffeehouses Uncertain by John Finn The new setting on the first floor of the student center for last Tuesday's coffeehouse "worked out well," according to committee chairman Amy Elias, "but we could have used more room," she added, touching on an aspect of one problem she encountered which exe·mplifies a larger issue facing the council. Originally Elias wanted to hold the coffeehouse in the lobby of Stark Learning Center, which she believes would have provided ample space for the activity. The location was not approved by the President, so the coffeehouse was held in the student center. The location of future coffeehouses, however, is uncertain. Elias is considering the next one, but remarked that plans are "up in the air until the Stark situation is settled.'' The question later raised and discussed by the council was, "What exactly will the lobby be used for in the future?" President Bill Recommendations Miller pointed out that "the lobby was never intended for its present use.'' It was originally to be only a lobby. Recently, rules have been posted prohibiting eating, drinking and smoking in the area. Miller said "We want clarification from the administration as to what it (the lobby) will be used for.'' He said he will recommend to the Student Affairs Cou~cil that the area be used for a multi-purpose lounge. The St. Valentines Day party is set for March 14, the Saturday after we return from Spring break. The party will be at the Crossgates hotel on the square. There will be a large smorgasboard, free soda and a cash bar. The band will be Risk, formerly Bingo's Diesel. Tickets are 3.50.

Commuter Council discussed a proposal now before the faculty committees that will reduce the size of those committees. Bill Miller explained that e3ven though the number of student votes on the committees will be reduced from two to one, the student input will not be weakened because the total committee membership would be reduced. Miller said that few schools have student representatives on faculty committees with a vote, and "we must not lose this privilege.'' Advisor Dean Hoover said "one of our greatest strides was when students were included in the process."

STORE HOURS: "SERVICE BY PROFESSIONALS" PHONE: 823-6177 �February 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page3 Work continues On Tenure by Louis Czachor According to Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen the College is working on the second part of its tenµre document. He commented that this second part, called "Tenure II," will be completed so that the college will have a complete tenure policy by next fall. Tenure II will deal primarily with termination and grievance procedures. It will set up all the procedues needed to handle various situations. It will establish a way to handle non-tenured faculty, and it will set up the pro.cedures by which a tenured faculty member may be dismissed. Also, Tenure II ·will set up an appeal process as well as all necessary safeguards. Hartdagen stated that· he cdbld not comment on what would happen to faculty in heavily tenured departments if the enrollment drops. This problem will be addressed by Tenure II. Hartdagen listed seven heavily tenured departments. These are departments in which all or close to all of the faculty are tenured: art, biology, chemistry, education, history, mathematics and computer science, and physics. A person is considered for tenure because of his performance in three areas: teaching, because if a person is not a good teacher, everything else is irrelevant; research and publications; and service in a variety of forms including service to the department, service to the college, and service to· the community. In addition, consideration for • tenure can go beyond these points since these categories vary from field to field . In most cases, a faculty member is reviewed in his sixth year (there is a seven year probationary period) . If the decision is made not to award tenure, the seventh year is given as the terminal year . However, some faculty are considered for tenure before the seventh year. Faculty members can be given credit for up to four years teaching experience at other colleges or universities. Also, if a person comes in at a rank higher than assistant professor, he may be considered for tenure before the seventh year. A full professor can be considered in this second year, while an associate professor can be considered in his fourth year. The actual decision process begins at the departmental level. In each department, a departmental review committee composed of all the tenured members of the department meets. The review committees use the student evaluations, visits to candidates' classes, the cani:lidate's self evaluation, research and publications, and an interview with the candidate. The committee makes a recommendation to the department chairperson for or against tenure . The recommendation is signed by all of the members of the review committee. The chairman of the department also writes a recommendation, although his recommendation does not have to be the same as that of the review committee. Both recommendations are sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs and are then transmitted to the tenure and promotion committee. The tenure and promotion committee is composed of six tenured faculty members who study the given material, interview the candidate and the department chair- man, and can call other witnesses as well . When the committee feels ready, a recommendation is made to the president of the college as to whether or not tenure should be awarded . Also, the . dean of academic affairs submits a recommendation on each candidate to the president. Based on these recommendations, the president makes his own recommendation to the Board of Trus'tees. Each May, the Board of Trustees acts on all recommendations and the candidates are notified within a week as to whether or not they have received tenure. Hartdagen explained that the same process is used in promotion of faculty members. He commented that it is a very thorough process built on very important student input in the form of the teacher evaluations. He stated that the teacher evaluations are probably the single most important part of the whole process. Hartdagen explained that when a person receives tenure it is expected that under normal circumstances that person can have a position at the college for the remainder of his professional career. Tenure is a sign that the college has decided that the person is the kind ·of person the college is willing to make a commitment to.

Letter Policy Rumors have a way of getting totally blown out of proportion . This fact can clearly be seen on our own campus. In the past few weeks, rumors have been circulating that numerous rapes have been occurring on the Wilkes campus . The number has risen almost weekly, and now ranges anywhere between one and ten. The strange thing about these alleged rapes is that not a single one has been reported to the deans or the infirmary. Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR) tell us that¾ of prevention of rape is awareness . Women everywhere should be aware ol the fact that they could possibly ·be a · potential rape victim. Avoiding dark, secluded areas, not walking in these areas alone, and not hitchhiking are only a few things that can reduce a woman's chance of being attacked. But what if a woman is attacked or, even worse, is actually raped? What should she do - keep quiet about it or report it? While we realize that a woman feels hurt, angered, embarassed and even guilty that she has been raped, she should report the assault to SOMEONE, and seek a medical examination as a safeguard against disease and pregnancy. Reporting a rape to the police does NOT mean a woman will have to prosecute. What it does mean is that the police will have a record of the rape, and possibly a description of the alleged rapist. This may give the police a lead in possibly preventing a rapist from further assaults . It is interesting to note there that out of all the rumored rapes on campus, not one has been reported to anyone in a position of authority. We have only one question. Why? If one listens to and believes these rumors, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is a mad rapist running around campus and no one cares . Why aren't these alleged rapes being reported to anyone? We would think that at least one of these supposedly numerous rape victims would want something done to prevent the possibility of another rape and have enough sense to report it to SOMEONE! Rape is a very serious, violent and degrading attack on a woman. It is not a crime to be raped. It is a crime TO rape! For a woman's own physical health and psychological well being, she should report a rape. On the other side of the coin, just exactly .what are the deans and administrators of the. college doing to find out about the truth to these rumors? We think there should be some sort of investigation into these rumors to find out the truth about who has supposedly be.e n raped . It we as students are expected to function properly, we should be expected to do so in a safe and secure college atmosphere. If anyone has been assaulted in ANY way, please report it to someone so something can be done to prevent the attack from happening again!

Noting how well-written, concise and accurate the articles appeared to me, I thought with chagrin that English 254 was destroying my brain and hurridly turned to the article on this week's Student Government meeting. One paragraph caught my attention and held it, the way a cold mountain breeze suspends, with invisible hands, a sparrow in the early morning sunrise (Gee, I love that kind of talk). The reporter stated that Joe Galli (President of S.G. and extremely sexy alligator-lapel person) stated that the faculty policy committee stated that ... I forgot. Oh yes, they all stated that the number of people on faculty committees is to be.. reduced . The suggestion appeared sound enough; it seemed to me that the committees on campus needed to be more tightly organized. I began to think, which I have been told by friends is, for me, extremely dangerous and that I should refrain from it as much as possible, "How many committees are there on campus, anyway?" Not having facts and figures readily at hand, and being, at the time , not particularly disposed to running out and obtaining any, I ventured to make a guess which would reflect my familiarity with the subject, would show that I knew the organization of college administration and would be a feasible, approximately accurate estimation of the prevalence of campus committees. I concluded that there ·area lot of committees on campus. And then, jµst as the cold mountain spring water shocks the newly born grass which peeps through the rich, black humus on the stream's bank (don't stope me - I'm on a roll) an ideal burst into my brian. (0. K. so it didn't burst. But it did sort-of plink in the back of my head right after my pencil broke.) Why not have this one, big, huge, mongo, mother of a committee whose purpose would be to-get this-do nothing except keep track of all the other committees on campus? Think of the organization! Everybody would know just what the hell is going on in all of these little subversive committees that meet in weird places after everybody else's committee meetings are over. Everybody would be able to see how many committee names begin with the letter Y Everybody would know that the same fou rteen people serve on every committee on campus and that the different names are just a front used for tax purposes. Everybody would begin to realize that nobody likes English department people on a committee because they invariably end up correcting the spelling on the agenda. Ev~rybody would begin to realize also that psychology department people are dangerous committee members because half-way into a meeting they begin to write -disgustingly nasty little things in their little black notebooks about the Chairperson's desire for power, recognition and his two-year-old springer spaniel. I really think a committee to organize committees is truly needed here at Wilkes. Perhaps I'll sug-gest it at my next committee meeting.

With over 80 members there is no question that it is one of the largest clubs. And as for activities well, a brief list of a few of the society's accomplishments this year should convince anyone that Dana was justified in making that comment. This year's activities included two Bio Seminar Nights, building a Homecoming display, participation in the Great American Smokeout in November, and various social events.

It should be typed in double spaced format on 8•,4zxll white paper. This rule will be enforced and tlle editors reserve the right not to include any information received after this deadline or not in the specified for_mat. Although the Biological Society is primarily a social organization, members of the club always try to integrate some aspect of biology into the socializing. One example of this is the Charles Darwin Party, which is co-sponsored by the society and the Biology Department. This year's Darwin Party was held just last Friday, February 13. The Biological Society has also visited the Montour Preserve as a club. Earlier this year the society· held a hikjing day at nearby Camp Kresge. The day combined socializing and a nature hike. As - further evidence of their involvement with biology, the club holds several functions throughout the year which are more academic. This year Bio Seminar night was started at which students and faculty are invited to present the findings from the research they are conducting at the college. So far this year, Rob Wallace, Valerie Van Dyke and Jessica Jahngen have · discussed their research. Also in connection with research, the club sponsors people from the club and department who wish to present their research at the Eastern College Science Conference in the spring. The club also sponsors club members who go to the conference to support their classmates. Of course, the society is not in existence for only academic reasons. Many social events are held during the year to provide relaxation from studies. For instance, a pizza party was held at the beginning of the year to welcome freshman to the club and the department. In addition, a luncheon for the freshman was organized to enable them to meet other club members and bio majors. And the Christmas Party, co-sponsored by the society and the department, turns out to be one of the most eagerly anticipated social events of the year. · Perhaps the reasons the club is so active is because it is wellstructured to meet the needs of its large membership. In addition to the four officers, President Dana Shaffer, Vice President Chris Vool verton, Secretary Pete Konicki, and Treasurer Tom Casey, there are also several committees, each with a special function.. The social committee plans all th.e social events throughout the year and tries to get each club member involved in these events. The fund-raising committee is responsible for promoting and organizin g all fund-raising activites, such as bake sales and hoagie sales. The .Pl!blicity committee informs both members and non-members of the upcoming ac:tivities planned by the society. Finally, the Program committee, along with the A.I.B.S., (American Institute of Biological Sciences) which is a sub-committee of the Biological Society, plan Bio Seminar nights and guest lectures. at club meetings, and any other biologically-oriented programs for which the society is responsible. The Biological Society, then, has much to offer anyone interested in the biological sciences. But what is the function of the society? According to Dana, "The biology department is one of the largest on campus and the Biological Society should act as unifying factor for all bio majors at social gatherings as well as in biological activities. If it's their major, they should be interested in the society and should try to get involved as much as possible."

"Celebration" a musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, brought the feel of spring to the audiences, and the smell of success to director Michael O'Neill. The play ·was sold out both Friday and Saturday nights. The players gave a performance worthy of all the publicity the play received. The two and a half hour musical showcased the talents of ·Russell Curtis, who . played the part of the Orphan to perfection, . and of Sharon Wheeler, who sang the part of Angel well. Tom Butcher as Potemkin and Mr. Christopher Golanski as Edgar Allen Rich also topped the list of fine performers in this play. In addition to the leads, the Potemkin, played by Tom Butcher chorus performed well in its bows in submission to Edizar Allen various capacities. Some of the Rich while the harbingers of spring best moments were provided by watch in the background. members of the ensemble and by the revelers. "Celebration" related the story of the love of a boy for a girl with some interference from an old man, who is also vying for the affections of the girl. But the message in the play goes much deeper than the love story. The transition from winter to spring parallels the love story, and becomes symbolic of the difference between a life is mere existence, and one that is truly lived. This difference is typified in the conflict between they innocent orphan and the artificial, unemotional old man. At times bizarre, but always enjoyable, the play was indeed a "Celebration." The musical was a mixture of rather diverse elements, but it was a mixture that blended well. The splash and the color of this celebration will be long remembered.

If you remember, last summer Wilkes was informed that the gate on Red Cross property would be closed, cutting off access to a walkway frequented by commuters and others who parked their cars in the Park-and-Lock. As the situation stands now, the owner of Chacko's Bowling Lanes has put no fence around his property and students continue to use this property as a cut-through to the Park-and-Lock. According to Bill Miller, President of Commuter Council, a work order will be giv~ to Wilkes maintenance to fix up the walkway behind Hollenbach Hall; the ragged fence there- must be removed and eventually lighting may be installed. Miller stated that in the spring he will take to Mr. Chacko to see if an agreement can be reached about establishing the walkway as a route to the Parkand-Lock for Wilkes students. Problems had begun early last summer when pressure from an insurance company prompted the closing of the Red Cross gate. Red Cross property had sustained some damages, and even though there was no evidence linking Wilkes students with the damages, the insurance company involved threatened to raise · Red Cross' insurance costs if Wilkes students were allowed to continue using the walkway. According to Miller, after the gate was closed in July he and Student Government President Joe Galli ·considered three solutions to the problem: the bias.ting of a hole in the wall located behind Weckesser and the opening of another direct walkway; the rerouting of student traffic l!round the block or behind other buildings, but thereby blocking direct access to the Park-and-Lock; or, finally, the constructing of a walkway by Hollenback Hall. The last option seemed to be the best. After speaking with Paul Adams, Wilkes' Housing Director, and the · family who lives in the home next to Hollenback, Miller spoke with the owner of Chacko's Bowling Lanes . The planned Schedu Jed The Departments Languages & Literature and Philosophy and the English Club of Wilkes College are pleased to announce the continuation of an informal series of evening lectures for the Spring semester: Professor Michael O'Neill, "The Playwright as February 26 Existentialist: Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" 7:30 p.m. in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Don Leslie, "Pascal and Existentialism" March 10 7:30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center 342 Professor Patricia Heaman, "Joyce's Stephen March 18 Daedalus and the Incertitude of the Void" 7:30 p.m. in the Darte Center for Performing Arts (upstairs lounge) Nancy and John Topolewski, "Present and Absent April 1 Priests: Existentialist Characters in Iris Murdoch's The Time of the Angels and Ignazio Silone's Bread and Wine" April 15 Possible TO Park -And -Lock Leet ure Series April8 February 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page 7 7:30 p.m. in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Chris Fox, "Swift and the Irrational: Or Gulliver's Travels, A Comedy of Incomprehension" 7:30 p.m . in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Norma Schulman, "The Play of the Imagination in Shakespearean Drama" 7:30 p.m . in Kirby Hall_IQ2 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS A chance to study and live in London A wide range of subjects and courses is available in Central London for students of the social sciences.

At this time, Chacko had just put costly shrubbery on his property to comply with city ordinances and was also planning to put a fence around this area. At Miller's suggestion, he agreed to allow Wilkes students use of part of this property as a walkway, if a gate were to be put in the fence at the expense of the College. Unfortunately, the agreement had not been quite solidified when someone tore out some of the shrubbery Chacko had just had installed. After this incident occurred, Miller said, the business owner became adverse to the idea of a walkway and the idea was temporarily discarded. Miller ended by saying that everything is being done to accom~ modate those students who park their cars in the Park-and-Lock. He added one comment~- at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon a male Wilkes student was accosted in the Park-and-Lock by two men carrying knives. This is the first incident of this kind that has occurred in ·the parking area . Miller warned students to be careful when going to the Park-and-Lock after dark and, if possible, to park on campus lots at night when they are open . He added that security for the Park-and-Lock has been increased and that local poiice will begin to patrol that area frequentl y. NOTICE It's Cherry Blossom Time!

Improve Securit y ? by Tom Jordan Have you ever wondered how large corporations like Exxon and Mobil seem to always be prepared to profit no matter what happens in the fu ture? They hire people who can anticipate the future. These people don't anticipate the future by using crystal balls or astrology, but by studying in a course called "Futuristics." Dr. Frank Darte, teacher of the fu turistic course at Wilkes, stated that "there is a growing interest around the country in the futu re." Years ago people weren't that interested in the future because they figured that the world's resources would last forever . But, since the oil shortage in 1973, people are starting to realize that Men of Colonels "It's a very serious situation . could be established to start an Perhaps a work study program escort service for the protection of the girls." AndyTelesz Freshman "Put more security around the campus." zines like Time and Newsweek cover stories on the future. There are over 700 colleges and universities in the United States that now offer courses, integrated programs and degrees in the study of the future . Wilkes College will offer the course Futuristics: The Study of the Future (Ed . 398) in the Fall semester of 1981 . The course will discuss world problems, alternative future and then break down into the interests of individual students. For example a Communications major might want to study the communication systems predicted to exist in the futu re. Although the Futuristics course is listed under education, Dr. Darte stresses that the course is not just for education majors but is open to all majors. Any student interested in any furthe r information on the futuristics course should contact Dr . Frank Darte in room 1 36 of the Stark Learning Center. we have to look to other resources to survive.

The study reveals that free time can contribute to procrastination and poor study habits, according to Jerald W. Dallam , associate director of records, and Donald P.

The program is unique because it goes a few steps further than many job services which simply provide a listing of available employement. According to the program's coordinator, Karen Alberola, the JLD tries to identify and develop jobs with businesses and then match students according to their preferences and abilities with openings. The JLD is accessible to anyone attending Wilkes. JUt:hough the program is affiliated with the placement office, only students who are presently enrolled may participate. Since the official opening on January 5 of this year, the JLD has , already placed a few students in accounting positions at several local banks. "The response is much greater than we expected," Alberola commented. "We have approximately 60 to 100 students registered and we are presently contacting more than 40 employers to introduce them to the program." Alberola explained that the JLD has created a "job-bank" - an upto-date listing of available work, which at present includes about 12 different types of jobs ranging from hospital orderlies to radio announcers. Some full-time positions are available, but as with all of the jobs, there is no academic _credit involved. This is not a co-op or work-study program. Although the JLD seeks to match a student's' skills and career goals with an appropriate job, this is not always posible. Alberola said KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys the "students have been very understanding in this matter. They realize we cannot guarantee employment-matching, but we do try. We also encourage students to seek positions on , their own as well." Interested students may register for the program at either the main office in the Roth Center on River Street (Mon.-Fri.), or the office located on the second floor of the student center, (Tues. & Thurs., 2:30-4:00). Registrants are asked only to be as specific .as possible about employment interests and previous work experiences. Ms. Alberola concluded that she is "very pleased with the program" and is "enjoying working with students and employers."

Marathon Set ForJaae Over the last 5 years, a total of 500 walkers, including over 200 university students, have trudged 250 miles from Santa Barbara, California, to Tijuana, Mexico, on the Tortilla Marathon. The annual foot-bruising 10 day Marathon is a fund and consciousness-raJSmg v nture held in late June that supports Los Ninos (The Children), a non-profit, international program that works among poor children who live on the U.S .-Mexican Border. On June 19, 1981, the sixth annual Marathon will leave- Santa Barbara with 250 walkers, but this _ time there will be a major difference - 50 walkers will not be • returning. When the last mile is walked on the 10th day, 50 of the walkers will remain at the border - for 2 years - to participate in a project aimed at alleviating the misery suffered by an estimated · 200,000 ninos who live along the 2,000 mile border strecthing from ' Tijuana on the Pacific Ocean to Matamoros on the Gulf of Mexico. The project is called the Border Development Project and its initial goal is the establishment of 10 operation centers, called Justice Houses, along the entire border. The 7 year old interfaith organization, based in Santa Barbara, is now seeking 50 people to work in the Border Development Project. Interested persons need to write to Los Ninos, 930 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara, California, 93103, telling how they fulfill the criteria for parti~ipation. They will receive additional information and participate in a screening process that '1nay lead to an interview near their own communities in December or January.

This past Saturday night the team traveled to Juniata and defeated the home town favorites by a score of 66-53. This key victory together with an F.D.U. Madison win of King's gave the Blue and Gold their first playoff sport since the early 70's. The cagers were in a dog fight with the Monarchs all year for the second position in the MAC playoffs and as it so often does, it came down to the last game of the season to be decided. Most peciple felt the Colonels did not have it in them to pull off the n~ary win on the road against a tough Juniata squad to notch the playoff berth. Ron Righter will be out to break the playoff jinx the Colonels have established over the past three decades. The Blue and Gold has appeared in three playoff games, once in the 50's, once in the 60's, and once in the 70's. Unfortunately, they have lost all three times. This is the 80's and it undoubtedly will be a challenge to the team and coach Righter to break this playoff loosing streak. The team the Colonels will face in the playoffs will be Albright College. The game will take place tonight at 9:00 p.m. in -Reading Pennsylvania. The Colonels will count on some key people in this very tough match-up to pull off a victory. Leading the team into this game as did all year will be senior captain Mike McCarrie. Mike is a 6-5 Political Science major out of Philadelphia and is one of the tallest guards in the MAC. Mike lettered every year at Wilkes and last year lead the team in scoring with a 15.0 point average. This year Mike had the distinction of being the leading free throw shooter in the nation in Division III. All year Mike's outside shooting has been the key to many of the Colonel's victories. A hot hand for Mike usually meant a Blue and Gold victory. Mike will have to use his outside shooting and leadership qualities tonight if the Colonels are to-beat Albright. One of the key players all year for Ron Righter has been Tony Madden. The 6-4 junior from Pringle came to Wilkes last year from Temple University. The excellent play of Madden last year earned him the honor of being selected cocaptain this year. Last year he lead the team in rebounding and field goal percentage . .Tony is an Accounting major and will be a key factor if the Colonels are to pick up a win tonight. His outstanding rebounding ability along with quick movement to the basket makes Tony one of the best all around players to wear a Colonel uniform . He will have to use his 210 pound frame to get inside and sink some baskets when the Blue and Gold need them . Helping out in the middle will be 6-7 junior Kevin "J.J ." Walker from Springfield, New Jersey. Kevin is a Business Administration major and ranked 8th in the MAC in rebounding and 9th in field goal percentage last year. When "J.J. " is hot underneath, there is vertually no one who can stop him. His 6-7 frame is one of the biggest in the MAC, and his rebounding ability is excellent. Kevin will have to establish himself under the boards very early if he is to be a key factor in the game. A on-night in the shooting department would also help seal the lid on what could be the Colonels first playoff victory Kevin "J.J." Walker The ball handling ability of guard Pat McCue is one of the biggest assests Ron Righter has had all year long. The 5-10 junior Business Ad ministration major from Kingston learned his talents while playing at Wyoming Valley West. Last season Pat lead the team in free throw percentage, assists, and steals. This season Pat has used his ball handling ability to seal numerous game for the CQlonels, especially when a stall was needed in the last few minutes of play. Pat's outside shooting to the Colonels overall attack. Together with Mike McCarrie, Pat adds the need·ed outside threat in the Blue and Gold's offense. Double figures and some swift ball handling ~ what the Colonels need out of Pat toni ht. PatMcCue The fith man on the court for the end of the season has been Pat Romich. The 6-4 junior from Pottstown came in to fill the shoes of Paul Scaliti who was injured about three quarters of the way into the season. Although Paul Scaliti was a big part of the Colonels' offense, the team did not loose much when Pat Romich came to fill in. Pat provided the needed outside shooting along with some excellent board work to keep the offense at a top running pace. His passing ability is also a factor which aided the men inside to sink some key baskets in MAC play. PatRomich Although coach Righter claims that his bench is not as strong as Ron Righter some benches around the MAC, the play of the people he has used has been outstanding. Bob Antonelli, a 6-2 freshman guard from Nanticoke, has given the Colonels a outside threat for the future as well as the playoffs. His cool shooting ability from the outer points on the court aid in the destruction of opponent's zones. Ross Zanghi, a 5-5 sophomore from Scranton, provides the needed spark to the club when things get flat for the Colonels. His excellent passing ability sets up many fast breaks and easy baskets for the men inside. His fired up play may be a necessary element in a Blue and Gold win tonight. Ed Kershaw, 6-0 freshman guard, and Greg Hytchko, 6-3 sophomore guard-forward are the two utility men on Ron Righter's bench. Both players add the necessary qualities to round out the Colonelss team. Both could play in pressure situations and give coach Righter the depth he needs out of his bench for late period scoring drives. The Colonels will have to get the best out of every player tonight if they are to capture their first MAC Playoff victory. Although the game is in Reading, . the team has proven that it can win the big ones even on the road (this Saturday's game against Juniata). In a season which coach Righter felt would be a .500 showing, the Blue and Gold has come on to prove themselves worthy of a playoff berth. Although a playoff victory would be great, the season this team has had is an achievement in itself.

Elsewhere, the No-names fell one game behind the Geeks by dropping one out of three from Bowlahoola. The Aristocrats kept pace with the leaders by beating the Maniacs in all three games. The Aristocrats were led by Steve Levitski who rolled a fine 200-549. The rest of the league is finding the blistering pace set by Geekanooza to difficult to keep up with, as many teams are fading in the west. This situation, however, should not discourage the lower placed teams. Only half the season is gone and anything could happen in the second half.

Mills is also the defending National champion and has a very good shot at defending his title successfully later this month. He should totally dominate this weight class barring any upsets or injuries. Wilkes' Doug Billig lacks tournament experience since this is his first year in the college wrestling ranks . Besides Mills this weight class is very balanced and the remaining place finishes are totally up for grabs. If Billig wrestles to his potential, he could possibly gain a place finish to help the Colonels cause. 126 This is a very competitive weight class and there is no clear cut favorite. Among the top · "& wrestlers are Doug Heinbach ' (Navy) , Tom Husted (Lehigh), Dale Mills (Syracuse), and Wilkes' own Billy Dodge. Dodge who possesses an 11-5-1 dual meet record should be seeded in the top t,pree and has a good chance to win this weight class. Dale Mills,. the brother of Gene Mills, also is a fine . wrestler and could be heard from during the weekend. Tom Husted should gain some valuable points Billy Dodge to help Lehigh defend their EIW A team title. 134 Daryll Burley of Lehigh ~--. should totally dominate this weight class as he is a two-time EIW A champion. Burley is also the defending national champion at 134 . Bill Pincus (William and Mary) and Dave McDonald (Army) should be seeded in the top - three in this category. Kurt Rowlette will represent Wilkes in this category and should surprise many people during the weekend. Rowlette who finished second in this year's Wilkes Open will not be seeded very high, but could find Kurt Rowlette himself going head-to-head with Burley in the finals . 142 The 142 pound weight . class has no dominating wrestler, but Gene Neighman of Cornell will probably be seeded #1 at this year's EIWA Tournament. Neighman who placed·third in last year's tournament has compiled a fine 22-0 reco rd th is year. Wilkes' Lenny Nelson should give Neighman some stiff competition and ' will probably be seeded second in t his class.

If Catalfo is healthy he should definitely win this weight class. Other contenders are John Schaefer (Navy), Ed Wohlander (Army), and Dan Galdi (Columbia). John Johnson will represent Wilkes in the EIWA Tournament. Johnson who compiled a 6-5 record this winter could find the competition very tough at this, his first EIW A Tournament.

Joe Burmingham of Wilkes will be a strong contender in this weight class as will Mike Rodgers of Navy. Burmingham and Rodgers wrestled to a draw in this year's Wilkes-Navy Match. Look for Wilkes' Joe Burmingham to finish in the top three this weekend at Princeton. 167 John Reich of Navy, the defending EIWA Champ is returning this year, but should find this year's competition to be very competitive. There is no clear cut favorite, but Reich will probably be seeded #1 since he is the defending champ . Keith Kreider (Temple) will probably be seeded second and should do well . Wilkes will be counting on Mark Correll who as a freshman has compiled a fine 11-4-1 record . It will be interesting to see how Correll handles the pressure. If he wrestles well he could easily be among the t-to_p_t_h_ree_h_·n..is_h_er_s_. 177 Colin Kilrain of Lehigh 4CrP '.'"'""'. should be the winner in thISi!i"i·lil~tJillliiiliitlliiiTiil!JifiiJ, • .. . . . ._... category as he is a two time EIWA Champion. Kilrain also finished t third in last year's national tourna- ,: ment and should do very well at nationals again this year. Pete ' Creamer of Wilkes should finish second behind Kilrain in this year's event and will earn some valuable team points for the Colonels. Creamer is a very fine wrestler and has compiled a 16-2 record against some of the finest competition in the country. Creamer only a sophomore is very talented but he Pete Creamer may have to wait until KHrain graduates to win the EIWA Title. pus of Princeton University this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) to participate in the annual Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Aswciation Tournament. The Enginners of Lehigh a perennial favorite will try to defend their EIWA team championship. Lehigh again has a strong team and should successfully defend their title. Coach Thad Turner of Lehigh will be counting heavily on several wrestlers to gain valuable team points. At 126, Tom Husted should place for the Engineers and could possibly win the weight class. At 134, Daryll Burley is probably the most domi#i/ nant wrestler in the tournament. Burley will most probably win the title and could win the national title as well. Jim Reilly (158), Colin Kilrain (177), and Drew Keiser (HWT) could also conceivably win titles. With that group of stellar performers it is no wonder why Thad Turner will seem very relaxed at this weekend's event. . Syracuse could possibly give Lehigh a run for their money for the team championship. Syracuse also has some very fine wrestlers in Gene Mills (118), Chris Catalfo (150), Curt Honis (177), John Dougherty (190), and Mike Rotunda (HWT). Gene Mills will definitely help the Syracuse cause as he is the defending EIWA and National Champ at 118.

Wilkes will send a comparatively young team to Princeton this weekend and this will undoubtedly pay off in the future. Joe Burmingham and Rick Smith are the only two seniors who will compete this weekend for the Colonels. Lenny Nelson and Pete Creamer are two of the best wrestlers for Wilkes and both are only sophomores. Wilkes may have a tough time capturing the team title this year, but they will undoubtedly be strong contender for the next few years. Don't be surprised if the Wilkes Wrestling team is ranked among the top 15 teams in the nation next year. It is a tribute to Coach Reese as he has built a fine program, and the best is yet to come. Enrollment wise Wilkes has the smallest number of any team competing in the EIWA tournament, but I'm sure the Colonels will be among the most respected and feared teams competing at Princeton University this weekend. t------------------~ HWT This weight class will be very hard to seed since Drew Keiser (Lehigh) who was last year's EIW A Champion has a poor 5-8 record. Jay Craddock (Columbia), and Jim Phillis (Harvard) both possess outstanding records but they have not faced many of the top notch wrestlers in this weight class. Rick Smith (Wilkes) has one of the better records in this category but may very well have the upper hand since he has wrestled some of the top heavyweights in the country this year. Mike Rotunda (Syracuse), and Pat Ryan (Navy) should also do well . Rick Smith �1,0 Tl Page 12, The Beacon, February 27, 1981 ~tit le:te: 0f Tlte:We:e:k Jani ata Win Gai _n s Berth by Pete Steve Senior captain Mike McCarrie, playing in his last regular season game, scored 22 points and gathered in eight rebounds to help lead the Colonels of .Ron Righter over Juniata 66-53 at Juniata and clinch an MAC Northeastern playoff berth. The Colonel win, together with an F.D .U. Madison victory over crosstown rivalry King's College, gave the Blue and Gold their fi rst MAC playoff berth since the early 70's. The Colonels fin ished their MAC season with a 8-5 record, good enough for a second place behind No rtheast Champion Scranton University with a 10-3 MAC slate. King's finishel" their MAC campaign with a 7-6 record and a third place finish in the Northeastern Division. McCarrie, who was six for six from the free throw line to remain the nation's top free throw shooter, was aided in the scoring department by juniors Tony Madden with 12 points and Kevin "J.J." Walker with 10 points. Freshman Bob Antonelli also helped the Colonels' cause by hitting for 10 points as well. The game wag close throughout the night with the Blue and Gold owning a slim 37-34 lead at halftime. But the brillant play of McCarrie and Madden along with some excellent ball handling by Pat McCue and Ed Kershaw nailed down the most important victory of the season for the Colonels. Earlier in the week, the Colonels dropped a game to the powerful Huskies of Bloomsburg by a score of 93-79 in Bloomsburg. The Division II Huskies, one of the top Division II teams in the country; had to fight off a second half come back attempt by the Blue and Gold to seal their victory. High scorer on the night for the Colonels was Bob Antonelli who was two for three from the charity line and hit eight field goals for a career high 18 points. Also in double figures for the cagers 'of Wilkes were McCarrie with 15, Walker with 14, and Pat Romich with 10.

But for those who ibave not had the honor of watching him play, his statistics should give a general idea of what he is capable of doing. For starters, he is the leading freethrow shooter in the nation . In Ibis four year career here, he has tallied 1,303 points, making him the fith leading scorer in Wilkes history. This year, Mike has averaged 17 points per game, with a season total over the 400 point mark. He attributes his success not only to the support from his teammates and the advice of his .coach, but also to his father. "My dad is my number one fan." Mike said, "He's also the best!" "I talked to my father before the Scranton game and he said I had limited time left to play ball. He gave me some advice." Mike said, adding that "last week everything came together. I had confidence on the court." In all, he scored a total of 64 points last week. Against Bloomsburg, he tallied 15 points and didn't miss a freethrow . In fact, he didn't miss a shot from the foul line throughout the entire week. In his last home game, against Philadelphia Pharmacy, Mike scored an amazing 27 points, making 13 of 15 from the field. In the final game of the season against Juniata, he scored a game high 22 points and lead the team in rebounds with 8. From the line he was perfect, making 6 of 6. "He had an outstanding week." Coach Righter explained, "He had an outstanding performance all around . As far as I'm concerned, he's the most valuable player in the conference. He blends his talents well with the rest of the team ." "I played every game to win, not to take shots," Mike explained, saying that the entire team had confidence. Tonight the Colonels will be traveling to Albright for the MAC championships and although Mike isn't making any predictions, he did infer that throughout the season, the cards were stacked against Wilkes. Full house or not, the team always seemed to come through. He remembers how the Colonels beat Scranton in Scranton, how they beat Kings when they needed a win, and he also remembers how the team played under a considerable amount of pressure in . the victory over Juniata. They went into the game that night knowing that Kings had lost earlier. Whatever happens tonight, it can be assumed that Mike McCarrie will never forget this season; he did an outstanding job. The Beacon staff would like to commend him · for his fine performance last week and throughout the season. Congratulations, and keep up the good work! 11============================:::61 se·a son............................ -1'..........................ff-#' ......................... SI a. te w ' I Ped Clean by Chris DaRe After seven comes eight, right? Well in the case of the Wilkes swimming team, zero comes after seven. After losing all seven of their meets this season, the Colonels' slate is now wiped clean. As of right now, the Colonels are 0-0. The Colonels have a new lease on life. The seven losses are now history and the swimmers are setting their sights on new goals, namely the Middle Atlantic Confer-ence Championships. The MACs will take place on February 26, 27, and 28, at Widener College in Chester, Pa. The entire Colonel team will participate. The diving portion of the competition will take place on February 26, with the swimming portion to foollow on,the 27th and 28th. Swim coach ,Bob Greenwald is expressing optimism concerning the upcoming championship. "During the last part of our season everyone's times have improved. They should alll be close to their best times at Widener." Here are a few performers for Colonel fans to keep their eyes on: DIVING Reed Bello has had a super season despite fighting · nagging back injuries. He has won every diving event he has entered this year. Coach Greenwald feels Reed has an excellent chance to win. According to Greenwald, "He will definitely place in the top 5." With Reed diving, the Colonels should start well on opening day. SWIMMING Coach Greenwald has very high hopes for all five girls. They could very well be the surprise of the championships, especially Michele Maguire. Michele has been swimming strongly as of late, according to Greenwald. Rob Doty, a senior from State College, is a good bet in the two breaststroke events. Rob has also been swimming strongly lately. In a . recent meet at Susquehanna, Doty came within .1 of a second of his personal best in the 200 breaststroke. Although the Colonels have lost their only seven meets, they now have a chance to redeem themselves. The pain and frustration that comes with a winless season c,n now be erased with just one splash of glory on Feb. 26, 27 ~nd28. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Capin officially announced that the college is planning to build a new residence hall at the comer of South River and West Northampton Streets. Con~ction will begin in June 1981 on the new residence hall, which will cost in excess of $3 million. When it is completed in August 1982 it will house 205 students. Capin stated that the four story building will give the college increased flexibility in terms of housing its students, and will allow the college to maintain its enrollment in the years ahead. At this time the college houses students in the Sterling Inn Towne. Capin noted that the housing of students in the Sterling has become financially prohibitive, and with the completion of the new residence hall these "off campus students" NEW RESIDENCE HALL WILKES COLLEGE Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 18766 FACTSHEET LOCATION: Corner of Northampton and South River Streets in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania CONSTRUCTION BEGINS: June 1, 1981 COMPLETION DATE: August 1982 NO. OF FLOORS: Four (4) CAPACITY: Two-hundred and five beds (205) SQUARE FEET: 55,000 (est.) ESTIMATED COST: In excess of $3 million ARCHITECTS: Pyros and Sanderson Architects and Plan ners of Wilkes-Barre, PA · ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Will maintain character of adjacent buil~ings. Red brick construction. SPECIAL FEATURES: • Structure will be folly air-conditioned and will utilize energy efficient heat pumps. _ • Each floor will be highlighted by lounge areas that will overlook the river common. • Facility will have the capability to attract and house educational conferences and seminars which will help boost the economic base of the area. . • Historic Conyngham 'Facade' will be incorporated into the architectural design of the facility. • Copper Beech trees, long-time landmarks on South River Street, will be saved and become part of the residence hall landscape. • Architectural design of the facility will maintain cornice lines of adjacent buildings and 'blend-in' with the setting. • Design of the building will assist in bringing students INTO the campus proper. Speci~ landscaping will also assist in this effort. 0 will be brought back on campus. Capin reported that the construction of a new residence hall is in line the college's space utilization study which recommended discontinuing the use of older, higher cost facilities . That space utilization study won the first award of merit from the American · Planning ~ssociation. Capin ~ointed out that energy costs in the new building will be approximately $160 per student, where in the older residence halls that cost was between $650 and $850 per student. Capin added, "Many of our present housing facilities are very old and extremely costly to maintain. The new residence hall will give us the flexibility we need while, at the same time, enabling us to use our resources more efficiently and productively." Mr. Donald Sanderson, an architect with the Wilkes~Barre architectural firm of Pyros and Sanderson, explained that the new residence hall will complete the block of South River Street between South and Northampton Streets. All of the buildings in that block which will remain as part of . the college's permanent campus have been refurbished and the new · dorm will fill in the last portion of that block. Sanderson stated that the architectural design of the new building will maintain the cornice lines and features of . ~djacent buildings which will assure that the building blends naturally with its setting." It will be constructed of red brick and each floor wilt be highlighted by a lounge area overlooking the · river common. Also, the building will be fully air conditioned and e.qergy efficient heat pumps will be utilized. Plans for the residence hall call for semi-private baths, that is, one bathroom between every two rooins. Additionally, the facility will have the capability to attract and. house educational conferences and seminars during the summer months in an effort to help boost the economic base of the area. Because of the college's commitment to historic preservation, the historically significant Conyngham Facade will be preserved and ancorported into the architectural design of the new residence hall. Several landmark Copper Beech Trees in the vicinity of the site of Butler Hall will be preserved. Over the past few years the college has spent over one million dollars to preserve and refurbish landmark buildings in the South · River Street area such as Kirby Hall, Chase Hall, Bedford Hall and the Conyngham Student Center. However, three old, deteriorating structures had to be removed to make way for the new building. Butler Hall on South River Street and Susquehannock Hall ·and Shawnee Hall on West Northampton Street were leveled last week. · Funding for the new facility will come partly from a . fund raising drive sponsored by the college, and partly from loans. The college is also looking to the Pennsylvania Higher Education Facilities Authority for a loan. · _Construction will stimulate the local economy by creating 75 to 100 new jobs for the next one-andone-half years. Dean of Management Dr. Andrew Shaw comment- ed; "Construction of the new residence hall is another endorsement of faith that Wilkes has in the city and the community. The facility will help to stimulate the local economy by providing much needed jobs at a time when there is ext~qsive unemployment in the areit'. " When a local media representative asked about any problems _ with the historical society, President Capin explained that the historical society did express a concern about the buildings that have been tom down, but the college and the historical society have, for the most part, reconciled their differences . Capin added that the three buildings were property of the college, a:r;id the college could do whatever it wanted with them. Capin stated that the college is excited about the new dimension to the campus that the new building will be and he added that the college "hopes that the community will join us in our excitement:" NOTICE Due to Spring Break, the Beacon is only publishing 8 pa_ges this week.

The trucks immediately began carrying away the rubble. Student Publications Submit Budgets by Louis Czachor The Beacon, Amnicola, and "Manuscript" submitted their budgets for the 1981-82 academic year to the Student Publications Committee for approval at the committee's February meeting. Mr. Richard Fuller, advisor of the Amnicola, presented the yearbook's budget which totals $31,000. Fuller explained that this figure represents a cost of $15 per student plus $1000 in ·projected income from advertisements. The Amnicola expects Student Government to grant them the $30,000 from the SG budget. This money comes from the student activities fee and allows each student to receive a yearbook. The committee unan imousl y approved the budget, but Student Government must still act to grant the funds . Dr. Norma Schulman, advisor of the Beacon, and Patti Sparlow, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, presented a request with a base figure of $14,025. In addition to this figure, the Beacon projected expenses of '1,200 for repairs and maintenance of machinery and equipment. It was noted that in lieu of this expense, a new-machine could be purchased at a cost of about $1,100 for each of the next three years. At the present time the Beacon has an old outdated Headliner machine which breaks down almost every week and has put a great strain on that publica- · tion's budget this year. The new · machine would mean a savings to the college as well as smoother operation for the newspaper. The Beacon proposal also contains a clause stating that if a onequarter scholarship is given to the · paper's photographer the budget could be reduced by $1,000. The ICholarship would be created so that it would not affect the scholarships already given out by the committee. The committee · approved the scholarship for the uhoto2npher. Th~ hudget that the committee approved totaled $14,125. Last year's budget totaled $11,200, but that was a decrease from the year before. The "Manuscript" requested $4,150. Last year the "Manuscript" was given $3,750. Mr. Jack Hardie, "Manuscript" advisor, noted that if there was a printing office on campus the "Manuscript" could be printed much more inexpensively. Hardie commented that the student audience for the films the Manuscript Society presents is not good. Additionally, the Manuscript Society can not charge admission to the films and can not advertise off campus. The request was approved by the committee. Student Publications Committee Chairman William Sterling announced that he had received word from Comptroller Joseph Chisarick that the college had anticipated budgeting no more than $16,000 for both the Beacon and "Manuscript," and this figure would include expenditures for any new machinery. The committee reviewed the budgets of both publications and decided to take the matter back to the administration and explain that $16,000 is just not enough; On the morning of Tuesday, March 3, three campus buildings were leveled to make way for a new residence hall. The three old buildings, Butler, Susquehannock, and Shawnee Halls, were located at the corner of South Jliver and West Northampton Streets. By the time students returned to classes this Monday, most- of the rubble from the buildings had already been removed. Before demolition was started, windows were removed from the three structures and utilities were disconnected . Early Tuesday morning bulldozers began tearing apart Butler Hall on South River Street. After Butler Hall, Susquehannock Hall was leveled. and then Shawnee Hall was demolished. By noon, the only thing left of the buildings was a massive pile of bircks, plaster, and wood~ tretching from the Conyngham facade on ·South River Street, around the corner and down to Delaware Hall on West Northampton Street. Butler Hall was acquired by the college about eight years ago, after the death of its last resident. NOTHING LEFf - By the beginning of this week almost all of the remains of the buildings at the corner of South River Street and West Northampton Street had been hauled away. Originally it was named Payne Hall, but the name was later changed to Butler. It housed the education department until last summer when that department was _moved to the first floor of Stark Learning Center. Susquehannock Hall was presented to the college when it was Bucknell Junior College. It was SHATTERED - This was all that remained of Butler Hall by· noon last Tuesday.

(See related story.) Mary Kay Pogar informed the SG body that the college yearbook, The Amnicola will be requesting an increase in its budget. SG provides the funds for the yearbook's budget. Pogar also stated that the budgets for the "Manuscript" and the Beacon total over $18,000, and the Comptroller, Mr. Joseph Chisarick reportedly does not want to grant the two publications any more than $16,000. She added -that the Student Publications Committee suggested that the remaining $2000 could possibly be received through SG. ~ SG President Joe Galli asked the SG representatives for their thoughts on the matter. Senior Class President Rob Wallace put it plainly. "No Way," he stated, then added that he thought that the "Manuscript" was good for literary expression but that the other two publications should receive a greater preference for funds. Freshman representative Ralph Pringle commented that he has heard that the members of the "Manuscript" staff make sure that their own work gets pu lished while ignoring contributions from others. Junior Class President Bruce Williams stated that he agrees with Pringle, that he had heard the same thing. At this point Galli pointed out that in order for the "Manuscript" to be included in the SG budget may channels would have to be gone through. He noted that as a result the SG budget would probably have to be increased, and then the Student Activities Fee would have to be increased. Les Nicholas commented that while everyone was knocking the "Manuscript" publication he felt that the films they show "are Great." Pogar noted that the Stu- dent Publications Committee had suggested that the possibility of borrowing films from King's College be looked into. At this point it was also suggested the films could . be borrowed from the local public library. CONCERT TRIP Tom Farley announced that he has been looking into the possibility of having a trip to Philadelphia to attend a concert. Farley explained that SG would charter a bus and purchase enough tickets for a busload of people, and then sell the tickets and .transportation . at a reduced rate. He noted that the only concert for which his plan would work takes place on Satur- day, March 11, and features "REO Speedwagon." He was given a voteof confidence to pursue the idea. Under other business, CC President Bill Miller reported that plans are being made for Cherry Blossom Weekend which has been scheduled for April 24, 25, and 26. Milled stated that plans call for a Concert in the gym on Friday, April · 24. A group such as "Dakota" or "Abilene" would be contracted to perform. On Saturday, April 25; there will be games during the day and a party at night in the gym featuring "Wizard." The games will be concluded on Sunday, April 26, and there will be a coffeehouse in the evening. Under the topic of faculty committees, Galli announced that the number of persons serving on all of the faculty committees will be cut in half. At a previous meeting he had announced that there will be only one student on each of the committees. At the present time there are two students on each of the committees. At that previous SG meeting the SG body had suggested that the number of students not be reduced. Galli announced that the proposal has been changed so that there will be two students on each committee, but only one of the students will have rtfl Siflrilll r'llllJ~fl • illl rlllrlll]llllfllliS r.11[1 ~IJ~iflrn~ voting privileges. Galli also announced that SG's report on faculty advising has been submitted to Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen, and he is waiting for Hartdagen's reply. It was also announced that applications for next year's new student orientation are now available at various locations on campus. Students interested in working on the orientation must fill out one of the applications and return it to Dean Lampe's office by Monday, March 23 . Chris Fellin reported that the Financial Aid Committee has submitted a proposal to College President Robert S. Capin to increase the appropriation for merit scholarships from $40,000 to $80,000, and to change the individual merit scholarships from $500 per student to $750 per student. · SG Treasurer reported for the Social Committee that a social weekend will be held next weekend. It will have a Fourth of July theme and will be partially sponsored by ROTC . Highlights of the weekend will include a dance marathon beginning on Friday night, and fireworks on Sunday night. by John Finn A Wilkes student was assaulted by two men, one brandishing a knife, at the Park and Lock South early in the afternoon of Tuesday, February 17. The attack has prompted safety recommendations to all Wilkes students from CC President Bill Miller. The student, who wished not to be identified, was attacked at 2:00 p.m. inside the Park and Lock while returning to his car following classes. The student hit one of his assailants over the head with an empty bottle, but was then robbed and forced to drive around town at knifepoint. The assault has caused concern throughout the ·entire campus, but particularly from Commuter Council. According to Miller, Wilkes , COIJ!muters use approximately 150-200 of the 500 parking spaces in the building. Although Miller has been assured that the city police will make more frequent patrols of the building, he suggests commuters go to the lot with a friend or in group and park on campus at night. Most campus lots are open after 4 p .m. St. Pat's PartyTo~orrow Night by John Finn The CC-IRHC St. Patrick's Day party will be held tomorrow evening at the Sheraton-Crossgates Hotel in town.

Tickets are $3.50. per person. The Apartment Committee will meet March 17, at 11 a.m. in Stark, Room 1. This will be an organizational meeting and an attempt to involve students who - are interested in finding an apartment. CC President Bill Miller said he has w,ritten to local realtors and will receive monthly listin~ of available apartments. The listin~ will be posted on bulletin boards around campus. IRHC has-completed revisions of its constitut-ion, "with some help from CC," according to president Janine Tucker. Also, selections of new resident ll(i~rs were made recently. On Tuesday, March 3, seven members of COPUS/Wilkes traveled to Harrisburg, and following a day-long state organizing conference, visited State Senator Martin L. Murray to discuss proposed F,'ederal and State legislation that would have farreaching effects on college financial aid programs. According to Executive Director Joe K;nox, the conference was another step toward establishing the Pennsylvania Independent Student Coalition (PISC), which will be an ~iation of independent colleges and universities throughout the state . In old busin~, Miller reminded -eouncil members that a financial aid workshop will be held on Thursday, March 19, from 11-1:00 . in Stark Lobby.

CLASSES. Drug of the 801' s OK, so the party's a drag. The music is lousy, and the people are snobby. Well, it1l cook in a while, after a few more 80 proof refreshments you won't know the difference. The party may turn out to be OK after all. As long as there's enough booze, who cares about anything else? After all it's the booze that makes or breaks the party - and you can't have a good time until you've consumed more than your share. Later, you stumble back to your room in the wee hours of the morning, only to wake up in the wee hours of the following afternoon with a splitting, crashing, pounding headacl'ie and a mouth that tastes like a toilet bowl. "What did I do?" you moan. Only you can answer that question. This so-called "social drinking" can become more frequent, spilling over into the daytime hours and · weeknights, until you can't face any crisis - maior or minor - without having a drink first or immediately after "just to relax." Mid-morning eyeopeners from a shotglass could then become more frequent than orange juice. While social drinking plays a very important role in the lives of many students, the final scenario is . usually called alcoholism . Six out of every 100 people are alcoholics . If these statistics are even slightly accurate, then out of the approximately 3000 people at Wilkes College (students, faculty and administration), there is a possibility that between 150 and 200 could be alcoholics. What are the danger signs? How does a person change from a social drinker to an alcoholic? The answers to these questions are not simple, but the facts are sobering. One person in ten who drinks becomes an alcoholic. Why? Most often, escape. A whole spectrum of cont ributing factors, such as a variety of pressures, can contribute to the person's need to "get away from it all ." How can you tell if someone is an alcoholic? Of course an alcoholic can't be spotted simply by appearance. A closer look, however, may reveal some indicators of problem drinking. Do they react to problems by pouring a drink? Is getting drunk a regular occurrence? Do they often report to work/class with alcohol on their _breath? Have they been involved in any unexplainable accidents without any evidence of a plausible cause? Are there excessive absences from work/class? Are there personality changes, such as increased irritability or memory losses? Do they disappear from view for long periods of time during the day? If you can answer yes to some of the questions either for yourself or someone you know beware of a possible pi:oblem. Remember, the battle is half over when the problem is admitted. If you know someone who you think has a drinking problem, the National Council on Alcoholism suggests: 1. Don't cover up for problems caused by drinking. There will be no desire to do anything about the problem drinking if they don't have to face the consequences. 2. Don't increase the guilt of the alcoholic by embarrassing him, yelling at him or scolding him. This may cause them to rely on it even more just for survival. 3. The alcoholic will have bottles hidden away, so don't try to hide, spill or lock up bottles. The alcoholic will always have another bottle hid den somewhere and will usually outwit the person trying to cut off their supply. 4. Don't drink with the alcoholic. This will only reinforce the problem for that person and you may end up with an alcohol problem yourself. 5. Finally, go for help. Alcoholics Anonymous is only a phone call away, like many other help groups. Remember, the first step in solving a problem is admitting it. So the party's a drag. The m usic is lousy and the people are snobby. Don't drink- leave. 'Concerned Reader To the Editor: I am writing in response to your editorial comm.e nts printed in the February 20, 1981 editorial of the Beacon. Your editorial referred to the alleged "cheap shots" taken in three letters also printed on that day. I and many others did not find these letters distasteful, just honest. None employed any pro- _ fane or objectionable language and all were well written and thought provoking. The "cheap shot" came from the Beacon, when it referred to the student's letters in far less than complimentary terms.

It is the supposed policy of the Beacon to welcome letters of comment . I question how many you will recieve under the present conditions.

Whether or not Dr. Hartdagen chews tobacco can hardly be termed a "Wilkes Happening." Believe it or not, the administration reads the student newspaper more than the students do - they know the Beacon exists. There is no need for the Beacon to stoop to the type of exploitive journalism suggested by '"Concerned Reader"; the type of journalism that conflicts with every code of ethics present in the profession. Moreover, "Concerned Student" claims that students should look for "intellectual improvements not passivity." Anonymous attacks on an individual can hardly be called intellectual or even fair.

Concern for the quality of life can only be manifested through an attempt to improve the situation. In this light, the Beacon is now accepting applications for next year's editorial staff.

KarepWeltman by John Finn If you're lucky, and unless you decide to build on the San Andreas fault, chances are you'll never have the floor of your home collapse beneath your feet while you're ironing. Freshman Karen Weitman of King.non was not quite so lucky, but she was fortunate enough to escape such an incident-with ht!I' life. On Monday, Feb. 16, Karen was ironing in a room on the ground floor of her split-level home at 806 Nandy Drive in Kingston, when she heard an explosion and strong winds. "At first I thought it was a tornado, but when I looked outside, I saw it · was too bright for a tornado." Realizing that something else was terribly wrong, she warned her young brother and a cleaning lady, the only others in the house. They immediately went to her father's house, two doors away. Later, Karen was to learn that the house was built over an airshaft that was part of the old Pettebone coal breaker. The airshaft opened and a large section of the concrete floor collapsed. For a few · minutes, only a carpet separated Karen from the 30 ft. deep hole. Almost as unsettling to Karen was the fact that after living in that house for 14 years, her family had never been told that it was built over an airshaft. She explained her surprise at remarks from neighbors and borough officials after the incident, 'They repeated- ly made comments like 'well, we always knew about the shafts, but we never thought anyone would be dumb enough to build a home on one of them.' " A contract has been awarded for repairs, but meanwhile the foundation is still cracking and the home is sinking. The shaft will be plugged with backfill material and steel ties will be placed across the mouth of the shaft to support the house. Previously the ties were made of wood . r-.------ ----.

Tony is this year's cocaptain and has .11 the qualities of a team captain for next year. Like "J.J.", Tony has to work on being a driving force in every game that the Colonels play in, a task which he will achieve very quickly. Pat McCue was probably the most under-rated player on the team this year. His b.11 handling ability and importance to the team became evident to everyone in the Albright game when he was out with an injury. Pat is the spark plug of the team and keeps the team moving. His maturity as a player will certainly show next year and should provide the Colonels with the necessary push to make the MAC playoffs once again. What Pa has to work on is ·his outside shooting. He is a good shooter but needs to take more shots and improve his shot selection. 1A hot hand for Pat next season would make him the perfect guard. Pat Romish has made a very impressive case this season as to why he should start next year. He filled in nicely when needed and provided the added muscle under the boards. His outside shooting was good and his b.11-hawking ability was very impressive. Pat must improve in the shooting category in order to ch.llenge Paul Scaliti for the starting role. Pat's mental game could also be improved, but this is something that comes with experience. Fin.lly we come to the man at the top, coach Righter. Coach Righter has done an excellent job. with the Colonels' basketb.11 program. His recruiting seems to be working quite well despite only its one year existence. He is a coach which gets into the game (sometimes too much), and inspires his players every step of the way. He is what the program needed ancf will undoubtedly end the Blue and Gold's playoff jinx very shortly, probably with an MAC crown. It was an exciting year, one that will prove to be the foundation of a Division III power. The ,win in the playoffs will come, followed by another, and • another.

Pat Romish filled in greatly for Paul Scaliti and averaged 5.5 points game, was a 51.1 percent field goal shooter, averaged 2.8 rebounds a game, and was 80.3 percent from the charity stripe. The ball handler of the team Pat McCue shot 43,3 percent from the floor, averaged 4.2 points game, was a 74.4 percent free throw shooter, and had a 1.8 rebound average. It was an interesting season for the Colonels and after watching them for most of the season, some thoughts about the team and the year. Without a doubt the main force behind the Blue and Gold .11 year was senior captain Mike McCarrie. Mike was everything a coach would want out of his captain. He was the best shooter on the team as far as free throws go (at one point he was the best in the nation in Division III), and lead the Colonels point average. But beyond these statistical goals, Mike lead the team in every aspect. He directed the plays, started the fast breab, and got the basket when it was needed. He knew enough when to slow the place down and yet was the one who would ignite a scoring frenzy. Mike was a true leader and if he had a fault, it was his over eagerness to win. He is one player that will be hard to replace. Kevin "J.J." Walker was a power underneath the boards for the most part of the season.

The Wilkes swimming team is preparing to compete in the MAC swimming championships. On the first day of competition the diving is to take place. Diving coach Bob Lewis has reason to be optimistic, for he has Reed Bello diving. Reed did not disappoint. Reed, admittedly nervous on his .first few div.esm got his act together to finish a highly respectable third. Reed's exploits have almost b'ecome commonplace to Wilkes fans. However, another Wilkes diver turned out to be a pleasant surprise. His name: Frank Gardner. Gardner, a senior from Newark Valley, N.Y., probably is diving as well as he has all year. He reached the consolation finals and settled for 11th place, not a shabby performance fo r someone diving in the shadow of Bello all year. · The next two days saw the swimming part of the championship. Rob Doty, a senior from State College, also reached the consolation finals and also settled for 11th place for the best swimming performance for Wilkes . Although Doty is the only name mentioned, it should be pointed out that all of the swimmers improved their times from the regular season. From a team that went 0-7, that i,t:'only what can realistically be expected. The misfortune of the whole ~ n is that the Colonels success will be measured in wins and losses. Despite the poor record, coach Greenwald, coach · Lewis and all the swimmers . showed tremendous determination and class in plugging along when all seemed lost. The gradual improvement in their times throughout the season is a tribute to that dogged determination. The 1981 edition of the Colonel swimming team was not successful in the win column, but they experienced valuable lessons of humility, and teamwork, and most importantly, they experienced the thrill of just competing.

This breaks down to 271 students per year, which i$ 13 to 14 percent of the total number of students at Wilkes. Dean Lampe, AswciateDean of Student Affairs, stated, "This is a low percentage compared to other colleges." The national total of students that withdraw from colleges is 25 percent. Dean Lampe said that there were many reasons for students withdrawing from college, including maternity, jobs and just taking time off. According to Dean Lampe, many students find that they are just not ready for college at this time so they decide to withdraw. Also, some student's grades are not that good, so Dean Lampe or Dean Hoover might council a student to withdraw rather that have a failure on their records. In the late 1960's, the national total of students withdrawing from college was 6.29 percent. Dean Lampe feels the main reason for the increase in the percentage of students withdrawing from college is that students have more mobility now than students did in the past. Before 1970, students who wanted to attend college had to put money up before they could attend college, because there were no loans or aid for students who did not have the money to go to college. During this time, Dean Lampe stated, "Students just didn't start and then stop college." During the month of September is the time when most students withdraw from college because they are usually homesick or they decide to go to a college closer to their home. From May to August, before the Fall semester, there is a large number of withdrawals. NOTICE The Cooperative Education Offic:,, is now accepting applications for the summer and faU,. Deadline s~::mce1"r : ~r s. Rivel :t. · The withdrawal policy at Wilkes College is in effect each semester until it is time for the final exams. Dean Lampe says that this is a good policy and she feels it will stay in effect in the future. t.

Raspen Settled In Neu Alumni Director Post by John Finn "After thirteen years in the Financial Aid Office, I was ready for a change," remarked Mr. Richard Raspen, who became the new Director of the Alumni Office in November. Raspen replaced Mr. Gordon Roberts, who left in November and is now a high school teacher in New Jersey. Mr. Raspen said the financial aid work was never monotonous; in fact, "it was a very dynamic area because the programs that are administered involve the student's individuality. Each case is different from the next." Raspen says he misses that one to one contact with students, but in his new position, "there is a lot that I was not aware of that has turned out to be extremely interesting, like running into an alumnus whom I knew as a student.'' For two months, Raspen was actually running both the Financial Aid Office and the Alumni Office. His replacement, Linda Giordano, a business education instructor, had to complete her first semester teaching responsibilities and could not assume the responsibilities of the FA office until Jan. 5. Raspen said his transition was smooth, however, because he started in a s!?w period. The big project in November was Campaign '81, and most of the organizational work had been completed by Mr. Roberts. At present, Raspen is running the Phonathons at the Annette Evans Alumni House. He is also contacting over 2500 alumni with a record of making past donations. He will concentrate most of his effort on this project for the next month. On March 18, Raspen will travel to New York City and conduct a telethon fundraiser for alumni who ar·e residents of the Metropolitan area. In the future, he will conduct similar telethons in Philadelphia , Boston and Washington . In addition to his fulltime work in the Alumni office, Raspen is helping Giordano with her transition . "If she runs into a situation that is new to her, she can call me." Raspen is now looking ahead to graduation, when approximately 500 new names will be added to the alumni roster, and new records will have to be prepared. Also, a major event for the alumni committee will be next year's Homecoming activities. The game is already set for October 31, against Johns Hopkins University. i~!~Jt\,~:r -~· ~ . :..

One problem was that a number of people arrived at the party expecting to be able to purchase tickets at the door. "All tickets had been sold out before the event," explained .CC President Bill Miller, "but people claimed they had been told by CC people they could purchase tickets at the door." Miller said that the policy on ticket sales has always been "first come first served,;, and remaining tickets would be sol.cl at the door. "Those who I felt had been mislead, " Miller added, "were admitted at a later time after 10:00, for $2.00. " The original ticket price was $3.50. However, Joe Knox said he was particularly disturbed when he learned that even a few people who had helped organize the event were turned away because they had no tickets. "There were special cases that sould have been handled differently, especially if you have people who worked on the party." Other problems pointed out included food running out early I FundBequestsTopAgenda I and what some members considered the high price of drinks. Coffeehouse chairperson Amy Elias said that the next coffeehouse will probably not be held until the second week in April. She said she does not want to try anything at the end of this month, pointing out that it "would be pretty hectic" with all of the upcoming elections. The Student Center Board has set aside $1000 for a large-screen TV, but will have to ~k SG for additional funds as this was only a downpayment, according to Joe Knox. Knox also said that the board has approved the purchase of a ping-Pong ball dispenser for the basement. The cost will be 25¢ per ball. by Louis Czachor Fund requests topped Student · Government's agenda Monday night. But, first Tom Rooney, SG Treasurer, reported that there is $7474.29 in the SG treasury. It was also noted that in addition to that amount SG has $3000 in a buffer account. The first request came from Charles Boyer of the Engineering club. He requested $254 to allow four students to attend a ·conference on April 23, 24, and 25. He noted that this is the first time the engineering club has come to SG asking for money. When CC president Bill Miller asked if the Engineering Department was subsidizing the students in any w.ay, Boyer stated that that option had not been looked into since the department was already paying for a senior project that some students are working on. Dana Shaffer noted that there would be people from the Biology and Chemistry departments also requesting funds to attend the same conference, and he pointed out that the request for the engineering students amounted to more than $60 per student and if the same amount was granted to the Biology and Chemistry students, NOTICE Executive staff applications are now available at WCLH. Applications can be picked up at the radio station, Darte Hall, 3rd floor. The following positions are open: Station Manager, Public Affairs Director and Station Engineer.

The purpose of this is to delete some of the more unpopular items from the present menu and replace them with new items. The Student Center Bolird has contributed $1,000 toward a new, large screen TV for the Student Center.

Brian Wheeler, representing · senior research students in the Chemistry Department, presented the second fund request. He stated that $274 is needed from SG to ·send 11 students to the aforementioned conference. He pointed out ·that the Chemistry department is paying $237 to send the students to the conference, but he was not sure if all of the students would have to pay anything themselves. The request will be voted upon next week. The third fund request of the night was presented by Jeff Gavlick of Circle.K. He explained that $400 is needed from SG so that approximately 14 Circle K members could attend the Pennsylvania District Circle K Convention in New Kensington, PA. That request will also be voted upon next week. The fourth fund request was presented by Cherry Blossom Chairman Dave Capin. Capin explained that as part of Cherry Blossom Weekend a concert is being planned. The concert had been scheduled for Friday, April 24, and "Dakota" was slated to appear but they backed out. However, it is possible that Dakota could appear .on either Thursday, April 23 or Saturday, April 25. Also, the city gave the committee $600 provided that "Dakota" appear during the weekend, and if the Cherry Bloosom Committee can not get "Dakota" for one of the alternate dates the money will have to be returned to the city. It was noted that if "Dakota" cannot appear, it may cost as much as $2000 more to get another group to perform. The SC body passed a vote of confidence that the Cherry Blossom Committee can use up to $2000 more if necessary in getting a group to perform at the concert.

SG President Joe Galli announced that the financial aid committee is setting up a s_ubcommittee to investigate scholarships. The committee will decide whether to increase or decrease scholarships for student leaders and publications editors, as well as merit scholarships and other ~holarships. Galli commented that it is "A definite plus for Student Government." COPUS Director Joe Knox announced that there will be student lobby day on Monday, April 13 in Washington, D.C. Knox suggested that a bus be chartered so that students could go that day. Galli instructed Knox to look into prices of buses, and noted that he was in favor of the idea. Galli also noted that SG had been scheduled to move out of Weckesser Hall and into the Student Center on April 1. He suggested that that moving date should be postponed until after graduation since it would not be fair to the new student govern.ment administration to have to worry about moving immediately after taking office. The consensus among the SG reps was that the move should be postponed. A constitution for the Future Educators Club was read for the first time. The meeting was closed and re-opened so that the constitution could be approved. The constitution was read a second time and was passed. Galli closed the meeting by announcing that nominations for SG president will be held at next week's SG meeting. Also, there will be no SG meeting the following week on March 30.

The economic squeeze has affected the Beacon as well, forcing us to cut back, not on luxuries, but necessities. With the cost of printing, newsprint, and typesetting skyrocketing and a headliner needing constant repair, we find that we cannot operate a 12 page paper on a weekly basis any longer without facing a serious fund shortage. Therefore, in order to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our funds to the end of the semester, we have decided to publish eight pages on a weekly basis. Nothing else will change it will just pea little shorter. his decision was not an easy one to _make. Since last year, the Beacon has improved and increased its service and communication to the college community by instituting the 12 page· issue. This _year, we have been able to basically maintain 12 pages, but now discover that in order to survive financially, we must tighten our belts. Unfortauntely, you, our reader, must ultimately suffer because of our necessary cutbacks. Our reasons for not wanting to reduce our number of pages were varied, including; an inability to accurately reflect the happenings at Wilkes in only eight pages, less publicity and ·fewer promotions to those groups who really deserve it, fewer news, feature and sports stories, and ultimately, reduced service to the college community. · While the quantity of pages will suffer, we will strive to maintain top quality in content - perhaps more for less, though doubtful. While our will to live to the end of the semester triumphed, we find ourselves feeling that we are shortchanging the college community of the news that you deserve to know. Moreover, we are greatly reducing our visibility in the local college newspaper market. The Beacon staff will truly attempt to make the best of a trying situation and beg your indulgence for the remainder of the academic year. _ Please excuse our small size - but like the old adage says - "Good things come in small packages." We are only disappointed that this package has to be so small.

My dlnper compamon, puttmg aside a fat volume full of words I_couldn'~ understand, assumed a patronizingly mature expression and 'told me-than was spoiled. Cars were fast becoming an extremely expensive commodity, he said, ~nd_to wa?t to burden myself with one was mere foolishness. I .stopped hckmg sprmkles and.stared at my friend in disbelief. Obviously this person had never commuted by bus for any length of.time and'didn't realize that the experience can be equated roughly with being allergic to pollen and realizing you're stuck in an elevatpr with twelve Iiari Krishnas; it's incredibly irritating. I set down my now ;de-sprinkled doughnut and began to tell this poor, misinformed idealist a.bout the real world of city transit. It was Thursday, it_was very c9ld, and I was running frantically down South Franklin St. in, among other things; four-inch heels (the original cruel shoes), hoping desperately to catch the.4:15 LCTA Special. As I ~ound~d the fin~l corner, headinginto the home stretch, my heel caught m the uon gratmg of a storm sewer and I went. down with a crash 'that will probably.incapacitate the uhdergrpund City Steam System for many years, I sprawled uabecomingly on the sidewalk, thoroughly embarrassed. I then tried to pretend that I crashed down on public thorough 0 fares as part of my daily routine, and prayed-that it had gone unnoticed. D~entangling my f~ot, I began to draw the attention of a scruffylookmg old man wearmg galoshes and a World-War-I flying cap (the kind with the ear-flaps, you know?) . He watched, amazed, as I contored my leg into fantastic shapes and geometric figures he would occasionally twitch his body to t~e left or right when it looked as though I was going to break free, much the same way a boxing fan will jab at the air with his fist when ·watching his chosen fighter swing at an opponent. When I finally did free my leg, he looked extremely disappointed, as if the storm sewer had somehow thrown the fight . Now overheated,_angry, embarrassed and mufilblirig to the old man that I hoped his ear-flaps got stuck to the wall of a pubiic john, I gathered myself together and got to the bus-stop just as my bus was turning the corner. That did it. Fuming, I proceeded to condemn the bus driver! now out of earshot, and his favorite pet t~ places where there were no women and where every meal was a caf breakfast. I was incense~. Turnin~ in time to see Old-Grizzle-Face-with-the-ear-flaps boarding h!S bus on time, I stomped over to a bench to wait for the next bus home. Getting a seat wasn't e11sy; the competition for space was formidable. At one end of the bench' sat an elderly woman of immense proportions who clutched an overstuffed, plastic, flowered shopping bag tightly to her ample chest, and who glowered at anyone who dared to walk within ten feet of her. Next to her sat a little wrinkled old man . I wasn't sure if he was living. Ne~t to him sat a snotty-looking high school girl with braces, who was stuffed tightly into a pair of Jordache jeans and puffed on a cigarette trying fo look mature. . After carefully viewing the scene, I decided not to sit down and walked over to the bank steps, forgetting how f,;md pigeons are of that particular layer of pigeon presents, so to speak. I gave up and walked over to Boscov'~ for a cup of coffee, noting that it was beginning to rain and I had no umbrella. That is a typical day for me . I didn't even mention the one lady who talks to an invisi?le friend, or the one old man who eats powdered doughnuts and spits on the bus seats, or the young kids who ride the bu~ !o school and blast Van Halen from portable stereos at 7:30 iri the mornmg. · AmyEliu I really do need a car, you know?

You've probably never heard of him. because he prefers it that way. Quietly, anonymously and insanely, he has spent the last decade "behind the scenes" creating the advertising campaigns for literally hundreds of motion pictures - from the G-rated to the X-rated to those beyond ratings. Via newspapers, magazines, poster, TV, radio, teasers and/or trailers (better known as "previews of coming attractions"), Mr. Tatelman has developed the initial : campaigns for countless movies. Often he is called in as a "troubleshooter" to try to save a film that is dying. In fact, he has become known as a sort of oneman Hollywood Red Cross. Born in Newton, Massachusetts, he received his 'B.A. from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. His M.B.A. was earned at the Bernard- M. Baruch College in Manhatten, where he wrote his master's thesis on something he now enjoys stretching - "The Believability Factor in Television Advertising." Today Milt Tatelman may be the young man behind much of Hollywood's wildest hoopla, but he prefers to think of himself as "just another movie-nut." �· Page 6, The Beacon, March 20, 1981 1Fourth OfJuly Celebration Slated For This Weekend I The Office of Career Services announce the following information for seniors concerned with job opportunities.

Last month a state evaluator conducted an intensive two-day evaluation which included interviews with administrators of the college, Act 101 staff and students. Additionally, all files and folders of students in the program were • examined. It was noted that 100 ' percent of the students in the program use the tutoring service. Also, 62 percent use the counseling program. Siles commented that 1 these figures are very high. Siles stated that he attributes the success of the program to the significant support received from the administration and the commitment of the college to Act 101. Also, he cited the program's "very excellent staff" as contributing to the program's success. Siles addi- tionally noted that a great deal of support, assistance and cooperation is received from all of the admi?istrative offices on campus, and the faculty gives a great degree of understanding and support. The Act 101 program is in its fourth full year of operation here, and it has grown from 30 students to over 100 students. The college's Act 101 Program is viewed as one of the strongest in the state because of the "high caliber of students at Wilkes College," stated Siles. He noted that as a result of the evaluation, the evaluator and the state have recommended that the college's Act 101 Program receive increased funding for the 1981-82 school year. An increase in funds means that the program will be able to expand to do more for students. Siles added that the proposal for next year's program is being written and the staff is trying to make it an even stronger program. Siles pointed out some accomplishments of the program, PIZZA ROMA 205 South Main Street (Opposite Perugino's Villa) Neapolitan &.Sicilian Pizza Lasagna, Stromboli, Calzone, etc. EVERY THURSDAY (from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) All the Macaroni you can eat $2. 39 Meatballs served with first dish) OPEN SIX DAYS A WEEK - Monday to Saturday: 11 to 11 PHONE 825-0938 and stated that there are "very outstanding students" in Act 101.

BEST VALUE TO EUROPE I I �-~ .-~u,.·- . - Kao ~fa- . ------------------- ·:. ----------- . --- , ' te P6•iii.tift·Matit by To~ Joi:4an ·" There are thousands of people throughout the country who are studing Karate, Judo, Kempo, or some other type of martial art. All these forms of the martial arts originally come from the Chinese art of Kung-Fu. Early Kung-Fu was started behind the walls of the Shaolin Monastery by a man called Bodhidharma around 500 A.D. It was started as an exercise for the monks to keep their bodies healthy. Kung-Fu is the ultimate of the unarmed martial arts, but there is much more to the art than fighting. In fact the Shaolin priests, who would be the best fighters, were taught that it is better to run away then to fight. The TV show "KUNG-FU" staring David Carradine showed what the monks had to go .through in the temples. The monks had to develope their minds as well as their bodies, which they did through meditation. The exercise system is based on the movements of five animals - the crane, dragon, tiger, snake an leopard. In the middle of the 1600's, the Manchus invaded China and started burning down the monasteries forcing many of the monks to leave China. They went to countries like Okinawa, Japan and Korea, spreading their art to these places. The moll~ taught the people of these countries the fighting of the martial arts. But because they were different people with a different type of land around them, various moves of Kung-Fu were changed thus starting the other martial arts including Karate and Kempo. There are still some Shaolin temples in China today, back in the mountains. The monks in these temples dedicate their lives to learning Kung-Fu. Many people have heard of the late actor, Bruce Lee who was the king of Kung-Fu, yet it is said that there is no way that he.. would be able to defeat a Shaolin priest. Jackie Chan, star of the movie "The Big Brawl," is a traditional Kung-Fu fighter who uses the various forms, whereas Bruce Lee was more concerned with•just improving his fighting skill. According to Sifu Cindy Rothrock, teacher at the Shaolin school on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre, _ "Jackie Chan is a good person to watch to see the various forms." She also stated that "Chan will probably make it better than Bruce Lee did." There are many styles of KungFu such as Northern Shaolin, Southern Shaolin ·and White Dragon style. Sifu Cindy Rothrock also said, "There are so many dif- ·. :'';·r~_ ferent forms of Kung-Fu, that even after you reach your Sifu or Black level, many people consider that you are just starting your skills." That is because in KuJ!g-Fu you can always keep learning new forms. In Karate, for example, after a student reaches a certain stage he or she can not go on any farther. Kung-Fu is probably the best thing to learn to defend yourself because of the knowledge a student learns in fighting and evading the strikes of an opponent. KungFu is a system of self-defense in which a person learns to use his hands, elbows, knees, feet and other parts of the body for defense in acutal combat situations. Although this is one of the best ways of fighting, it is not taught for a person to go out and beat people up. In fact, the Hollywood star James Coburn, who learned Kung-Fu from Bruce Lee, stated that "I am in such respect of it (Kung-Fu), that it would be very difficult to force me into any sort of combat. I would be reluctant to fight anyone. I don't want to hurt anybody. I would be very depr~ed by that and highly offended by it, too. I know that if it were a matter of defending my existence, r would use it to the utmost with 1;reat glee." Coburn's statement sums up how the Shaolin priests felt about Kung-Fu and what Kung-Fu was designed for. The conclusion of this story will be in the March 27 issue of the Beacon. SPORTS NOITICE Coach Kaschak requests that all men's intramural softball teams meet in the gym this Tuesday, March 24 at 11:00 a.m. for an organizational meeting. Rosters for the season must be complete by this time. ·mtlain!-£dna ·, For ~l · · rem~~ber~I ,. < have always loved the SP.Ort of . baseball. I followed the of rUuals that every younpter goes through to prove his or her loyalty to the sport. I spent my weekly allowance on baseball cards, played rubber ball in the schoolyud until it was too dark to see, and worked my butt off to become a little league ball player. When I hit junior high school, I still loved the sport more than anything else. Friday nights found me out tossing the ball around with one of my pals instead of speeding in circles at the nearest roller kating rink. Even when my first heart throb came along, my baseball glove was always close at hand, usually squeezed under the front seat of my Chevy. Although my serious baseball competition is now contained to Friday night softball during the summer, I manage to fill my huner for the sport by following the major leagues with undivided attention. I was presented with an added delight this past fall when my all time favorite team (the Philadelphia Phillies) won the ultimate in baseball excellence, the World Series. I never thought the time would come when I would find myself dissatisfied with the way baseball was plotting its future. But I must admit that I look forward to this coming season with a bit of fear in the back of my mind. For the first time in my life, I am actually questioning the morals of the sport which is as American as apple pie. With the Phillies questing for another series title, I question whether or not baseball has the same essential ingredients which has made it the great sport it is today. I wonder if it has the ability to survive future problems so other generations may enjoy its splendor. sami series taseball is ·~ g out of hand. What was once and still is a child's game, is now very realistically a big business. I realize that all professional sports are big busin~ but I fear for baseball the most because of its inflated salaries and on field business operation. It is ridiculous when a baseball player can earn more money in one month than the president of the United States. It has been reported that millionaire Dave Winfield will earn ,110,000 a month compared to President Reagan's monthly salary of ,16,666. The sad part of this whole situation is that Winfield is just 'Qne of numerous players who have followed the base paths to lifetime wealth. Another thing which bothers me is the way owners and general managers trade players around like children trade baseball cards. Teams use to take pride in building an organization which would prove itself in the long run. Today, pennants are bought by the owners as easily as hot do~ and beer by the fans in the stands. It is a rare thing to see a ball player who has been with the same club for more than eight years. . The players also disappoint me with their attitudes toward the game itself. Because of the atmosphere which they are surrounded by, they too view baseball as a business. Realistically this is tru~ for it is their livelihood, but there was a time when the competition of the game itself meant something to the players as well. I honestly fear for this sport which so many of us enjoy. I worry about its present status along with its immediate and long term future. My only plea is that it restores its dignity, thus assuring its continued existence. I honestly hope the day never comes when the trading of baseball cards is restricted to auctions .

The Colonels were expected to challenge Syracuse, Lehigh, and Navy for top honors, however, this never materialized. Syracuse finished 1st, Lehigh finished 2nd, Navy finished 3rd, and Wilkes finished a very disappointing 10th. According to Coach Reese, '"We wrestled worse than we ever have in a post-season tournament since I have been here." Besides having the poorest finish .in history, Wilkes failed to send a single wrestler.to the National Tournament. This marks the first time in 20 years that Wilkes was not represented at Nationals. Place winners for the Colonels in the EIWA Tournament were: Pete Creamer, 4th; Joe Birmingham, 5th; and Rick Smith, 6th. It should be noted that the top three place finishers in each weight class advance to the national tournament. Pete Creamer narrowly missed out on a trip to .·nationals as he finished 4th. One Qf the reasons Coach Reese was so disappointed in the Colonels' showing is that they defeated so many of the top finishers in the tournament during the regular season. For example, Rick Smith defeated Mike Rotunda of Syracuse during this year's Wilkes-Syracuse meet, 12-4, however, Rotunda won the EIWA title while Smith finished a disappointing 6th. To add to the Colonels' frustration, Temple qualified three wrestlers for the National Tournament after Wilkes soundly defeated Temple in the regular season match-up 26-12. In that match Temple only won three bouts, sound frustrating, just ask Coach Reese or any of the wrestlers and they will explain how frustrating it really is. The Colonels took a roller coaster ride through the 1980-81 season as they compiled a 12-8 dual meet record, and a 10th place finish in this years EIWA Tournament. The first dual meet of the season was probably one of the best wrestling match-ups a fan could ask for. Although the Colonels dropped a 24-18 decision they gained much respect as they battled the Engineers to the wire. Later that week the wrestlers traveled to Annapolis, MD. to take on · the Midshipmen of Navy, the Colonels saw their record drop to 0-2 as they were soundly defeated 29-13. On Wednesday, Dec. 10 the Colonels finally broke into the win column as they trounced East Stroudsburg State College 33-9. The very next night the grapplers hosted the Tennessee Volunteers and dropped a 28-12 decision. At this point the grapplers had_a 1-3 dual meet record. The last week of December, and the first week of January were the most grueling 2 weeks in Wilkes wrestling history. The Colonels hosted 3 of the top 20 teams in the nation within this period. The Colonels began the stretch by losing to Auburn 26-21. They then rebounded to topple highly touted Clemson 23-17. The Colonels began in the new year by wrestling Missouri on Sat., Jan. 3 and Nebraska on Jan. 4. Wilkes lost to both Missouri, 27-14, and Nebraska, 24-.10. At this' point the wrestlers record stood at 3-6. From this point on the Colonels completdy turned things around as they compiled · a 9-2 record for the second half of the season. They defeated George Mason 38-10, Rutgers 40-9, Temple 26-12, Binghamton State 38-2, Southern Connecticut 39-7, Hofstra 45-3, Bucknell 32-6, Lycoming 45-0 and Franklin and Marshall 30-6 while losing to Syracuse 30-18 and Penn State 22-16. _ At the beginning of the year Coach Reese thought the tough schedule would hopefully pay off down the stretch, and therefore would help prime the grapplers for the EIWA tournament. It seemed as though coach Reese was right as the team showed marked improvement during the second part of t,he season. However mother nature 'did not cooperate and the team deyfloped a severe case of "Spring fever". (During the third week of February the average temperature was a balmy 65 degrees). It is very hard to-continue practicing with intensity, and to keep your concentration when th_erest of your friends 4re enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. · As for next year,,look for the C_olonels to finish among the top 20 teams in the nation. ,,If Coach Reese can find quality replacements for seniors Joe Burmingham (158), Dan Miner (167), and Rick Smith (HWT), the Colonels should have a tremendous year. With Doug Billig, Billy Dodge, Mark Popple, Mark Troutman, Kurt Rowlette, Mark Correll, and Pete Creamer returning, coach Reese should be able to put together one of the strongest teams in the East.

TljG Vol. XXXIII No. 22 March 27, 1981 Trustees Approve Increases ............................................................................ . TotalCollegeCostToGo Up $650ByNextYear by Louis Czachor Tuition costs for next year will increase by $450 and room and • board will go up $200 according to President Robert S. Capin. The increases were approved by the.:ollege's Board of Trustees at a meeting last Friday. Capin explained that the 12 percent increase in tuition will hike that fee to $4200 for the 1981-82 academic year. Room and board will be $2100 which is a 10 percent increase over this year's costs. Additionally, part time tuition will be $89 per credit hour. That is an increase of $7 per credit hour or 8.5 percent. Graduate tuition will be raised to $120 per credit hour, an inerease of 9.1 percent or $10 per credit hour. Capin noted that the increases are basically in line with what is taking place thro ughout the country. Capin added that Wilkes will still have the highest tuition in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but "will still be lower than many Pennsylvania institutions of our quality and size." When asked why the increases were necessary, Capin.replied that the basic reasons for the increases are to enable the college "to ·m eet its committments to the personnel of the college, to maintain the physical plant , to pr9vide necessary scholarships, to provide other services important to the operation of the college, and in general to meet increases to which · the college has been subjected due to inflation." Referring to the increase, Capin commented, "We have done the best we possibly could to keep it at the lowest figu re." Capin added that in order to assist students, the college is increasing the amount of financial aid it will make available from $627,000 to $720,000. He explained that the college is trying to assist wherever possible and he added that one major concern now is to encourage everyone to influence the national legislators to try to minimize the imact of reductions in financial aid programs. Capin stressed that if students find that there is a financial burden, they should meet with 'the counseling deans and financial aid director before making a decision about their future education. "We want to assist students in any w;iy we possibly can to meet their financial obligations," commented Capin.

Three students were nominated for the office and all three accepted the nominations . The three candidates are Tom Farley, Ana Nunez, and Al Wideman. _ After the meeting Galli commented that he would not endorse a candidate and noted that the bylaws prohibit the president of SG from endorsing a candidate. Galli also commented, ''.I am very happy that we have three candidates running this year. I feel that the three candidates have a lot to offer." Also, each of the three candidates was interviewed for this article. Some of their views are presented below. Tom Farley Farley stated that he is running for SG president because be believes that changes have to occur on this campus. Specifically, he noted that the administration must be more receptive to student ideas, social activities require better organization, there is a need for some type of activity every weekend, and SG must be more responsive to the student body. He pointed out that SG 's biggest fault now is that not enough emphasis is put on social activities, and he would take steps to corrct that by getting a social coordinator who would work with CC and IRHC in developing a workable social calendar. Farley stated that his priorities would be to better inform students as to that events that occur regarding SG, and to get the student body involved in SG as well as getting the students to support SG activities. He would also like to see the administration be more responsive to student input when the issues concern students. He stated that overall Joe Galli was a good president, but that he missed opportunities to strengthen SG's position in regard to the students·and administration. Ana Nunez Ana Nunez said that she wants to be SG president because she has always been interested in student service and she looks upon the position as a challenge which she can meet. She also noted that in her three years in SG she has learned an incredible amount about SG and how it works. She has a lot of ideas that she would like to institute also. She commented that at this time SG's biggest fault lies in its lack of effectiveness in dealing with varied situations. She wants to improve SG's effectiveness in dealing with the administration, communicating with the student body _and providing services for the students of the college. Nunez listed her priorities as improving communications with ' the students, improving student services and bettering communications with the administration. When asked to comment on the job done by the present SG President, Nunez commented that his main failing has been in the area of communication, buf she added, "Overall, I think he has done a great job," Nunez also pointed out that she feels she has the leadership qualities necessary for the position, and she added that she believes she is capable of dealing with the administration on a mature level. · Al Wirkman Al Wirkman commented that he wants to be president of SG because he thinks that there are a lot of changes he can make in student government. He noted that there are a lot- of communication problems among SG, the students and the administration. He would like to see SG create an atmosphere that wp.l encourage clubs and organizations to sponsor social events. Wirkman commented that he would also like to see more studens, faculty and administration in attendance at the SG meetings. He stated that SG's biggest fault now is its need for better organization and communications. He added that if elected, he will see to it that the entire year will revolve around improving these areas . Wirkman stated that as soon as he takes office he will begin organizing himself, his budget and his executive council. Then plans will be made so that things are organized and he would begin the task of improving communications next. He pointed out that Joe Galli has done a lot as SG president, 11.hd he is pleased with what has happened. However, he noted that Calli's administration lacked organization and Galli lacked .respect. He explained that the lack of respect grew out of the lack of organization. The elections will take place next Thursday, April 2, from 11:00 to 3:00 and from 4:30 to 6:30. All students, including seniors may vote. Valid student I.D. is required for voting. - Editor's Note: Due to unfo~n circumstan~ at this week's SG meeting it was impomble to obtain a picture of the three candidates for the SG presidency. �Page 2, The Beacon, March 27, 1981 f IRHC--------------- Doi:y, Lourie Nominated CC Presidential right. Amy Elias on left and Joe Knox ori candidates: by Donna Nitka Nominations for all IRl;IC officers were held at Sunday's IRHC meeting. Rob Doty and Bill Lourie were nominated for president. Rob Doty is a senior chemistry major from State College, Pa. He is active in Student Government and is co-chairman of the Publicity and Elections Committee. He serves as the president of Slocum . Hall, and is a student rep on the Faculty Admissions Committee. He is also a photographer for the yearbook and captain of the Wilkes swim team. Elias; Knox Vie For Commuter Council Presidential Post piling and posting a computerized reference sheet for students interested in forming a car-pool. Amy Elias is a sophomore English major, with a minor in education. She said she would like to be President as a junior because she will be student teaching during the second semester of her senior year and feels she would be unable to devote sufficient time to council work. Elias has been a member of the council from the beginning of her freshman year and this · year chaired the coffeehouse committee. In addition to her involvement with the council~ Elias is the secretary of the Sophomore class, a member of the curriculum committee of the English department, a tutor for the writing lab, a freshman orientation group leader, and a writer for the Beacon. Elias concluded, "I enjoy the organization and the time I've put into it, and I'm looking forward to next year." Commuter Council members Amy Elias and Joe Knox were nominated for the office of President at the meeting of Monday, March 23. During an interview with the Beacon, the candidates expressed their views and set forth their goals for next year's council: Amy Elias Candidate Amy Elias feels that many students are not aware of the wide variety of valuable services performed by the Commuter Council, and as president she would like to enhance their awareness while strengthening-the council itself. Elias sa,icJ she believes the council "serves 'as a base to connect commuters ~ith campus activities." Commenting on what she considered the overall achievements of the council this year, Elias said, "We've reached a lot more people around campus and we've become openly involved in more campus activities, bu't even more can be done in the future to promote student interaction." · To accomplish this, she suggested more daytime activities on campus, such as lectures, films, and informal gatherings in the Student Center. Elias also addressed some of the problems she would like to tackle if el.ected. "It is quite obvious that on-campus parking spaces are inadequate for the number of commuters with cars, but we have to be practical trying to find solutions. Elias said she would keep the present point system for allocating parking stickers intact, out would like to see a few minor revisions. Elias said she would like to pursue the idea of a car-pool referral service. She proposed posting com- Joe Knox Candidate Joe Knox believes that parking is a main concern for commuters, and therefore he plans to make this a priority item on his agenda if elected. Specifically, Knox would like to see the "establishment of at least one firstcome-first-served" parking area on campus, negotiations 'Yith the administration for more student parking spaces - even at the expense of Dorm, faculty, and administration spaces, and close monitoring of the space to be cleared behind the student center." Knox pointed out that the carriage house behind the SUB will be razed in the near future, and said, "I feel this space should be utilized for additional parking spaces for students. Knox stressed the importance of · communications between student leaders and their constituency as well as communication with the administration. He feels the moving of the CC office from Weckesser hall will· benefit the council's relations with fellow students. When dealing with the administration, Knox said "a student leader should remain tough in his convictions and should not be turned away without a good, credible cause." Concerning the structure of the Council itself, Knox said "the committees should include more people on and off the council in order tci get more people involved. He would also like to place a CC suggestion box on campus. "This · would spur more student interest than the surveys used in the past. Although the surveys were good, they tended to limit students abilities to make suggestions." To achieve his goals, Knox said he could draw from the leadership experience he has gained in the past three years at Wilkes. His recent activities include Commuter Council Representative for the class of '82, Board member of COPUS / National • and Executive Director of COPUS/Wilkes. Knox is a junior Political science major, with a minor in Public Administration. 5 j ·1 NUMBER9 SHOP 9 W.

These microfilm files are used primarily for genealogical research. Although the library staff is not equipped to do family tree research for the public, they can advise anyone searching his ancestry on certain inefficiencies in the Census data file . For example, Frederick Krohle, Reference Librarian, notes that some Census forms are filled out in script, rather than being typewritten. He also mentions that many times, the spelling on names is incorrect. He adds that boarders were common 200 years ago, and often a boarder was listed on the Census form as being a member of the family with which he was staying. Chief Librarian Dale Buehler proposes that anyone searching his family tree should talk to his relatives and "gain as much oral history" as possible. He points out, . "The more information you have, the better off you are." Media Specialist Carol Leavesley notes that the file, which covers the years 1790 to 1900, is indexed somewhat, but that sometimes the indexes are incorrect. She adds that the Census data is only available 75 years after it is collected, therefore, the data form 1910 is not yet available. Finally, Buehler reminds that people interested in this research to their own work - the library staff does not do genealogical research for the public. �Page 4, The Beacon, March 27, 1981 Eaitorially Sp<ZOkin9 USPS 832-080 Patti Spar/ow Editor-in-Chief Decisions, Decisions Decision '81 is upon the students of Wilkes College. This year, unlike last, each presiden tial office of the major organizations (SG , CC , IRHC) have more -than one contender. Each race promises to be an interesting one. This election should.prove to be a healthy collection of ideas and candidates. Decisions are not easy to make in situations where the field is almost overcrowded with qualified and competent people. However, they are eventually made. Please remember that these choices are not predictions, but statements of Beacon support and endorsement, after evaluating each candidate's platform. Student Government Ana Nunez Based on experience, Ana is clearly the front runner in this race. She has served on a number of com!ilittees and has been involved, if not in charge of, many functions , both academic and social. Of the three candidates for SG President, Ana's platform of communication, student services and financial policy is the most sound . Moreover, she is a strong person who is familiar with the operations of Wilkes . Insight can only be an asset to an SG President. In light of her qualifications and experience, Ana should be th at president. Commuter Council Amy Elias A veteran of Commuter Council, Amy is also fa miliar with its operations. Th is qualification does not stand alone however, as she has proven herself in ma ny instances to be a dedicated and hard worker who will not give up when fac ed with adversity. Her campaign platfo rm explains w hat she feels is the reason for CC, "It is the purpose of Commuter Council to solve . . . problems fo r the commuter by providing assistance to transportation problems, social activities and a fi rm representative organizatio n which voices commuters' complaints and also their const.ructive suggestions." As President of Commuter Council, 1my)Vill make sure that ·~-e~•ideas are realized and ultimately enjoyed by t he commuters. InteJ;-Residence Hall Council · - - · ·· ' · Bill Lourie A relative dark horse candidate, BiH seems to offer the most sincere effort for improvement. While sincerity is not everythin g, it is the difference between·student apath y and student life and Bill should be ale to create some student life with his ideas. One of his plans involves strengthening the ties between resident assistants and hall presidents. This seems like a logical move. Moreover, his ideas concerning the prevention of vandalism on campus are unique to the campaign and should be a top priority next year. He also has several methods of increasing student participation in IRHC. He has definite ideas - ideas that can only benefit students. These three candidates promise the best year in 1981-1982. They have many common goals, and should therefore be able to work together well. It is only hoped that the promises are not only campaign rhetoric, but real ideas that will be implemented after the elections. Nunez, Elias and Lourie - don't forget to vote on April 2. Editor's Note: Due to space limitations, the platforms of the CC and IRHC candidates could not be published. Please attend the presidential forum on April 1st to gain a fuller appreciation of each candidate's point of view. SG Presidential platforms may be found in this issue of the Beacon.

Robert Doty, am announcing my candidacy for the office of the President of the Inter-Resident Hall Council. For the past two years I have been a representative of my dorm to the Inter-Dormatory Council and to the IRI:IC, and have noticed an increase in participation and enthusiasm of the representatives as well as the other students who attend the meetings and events. I too share this enthusiasm and plan to promote the enthusiasm of all other students towards the IRHC. The first step to increasing this enthusiasm is to increase the participation of more students in the decision making process of the IRHC. This is currently being made possible by the new clause I wrote to be .incorporate!i into the revised constitution of the IRHC which allows for the addition of Associate Members to the voting body of the Council. If a student attends the meetings, is active, and shows enthusiasm for the IRHC he may be given this type of membership. Currently I am the President of my dorm as well as the alternate rep to IRHC and I see a need for much more dorm President participation in the affairs of all resident halls. I would like to push fo r more inter-resident hall cooperation through halls co-sponsoring parties and other school-wide events. I would also like to promoted interresident hall competitions such as football, volleyball, basketball, and softball tournaments as well as hall decoration and snowman btrilding contests. I am very qualified for the job of IRHC President. I have been active in my class for four years and have been on Student Government for the past two years. I am currently a co-chairman of the Publicity and Elections Committee of Student Government and a student member of the Faculty Admissions Committee. I have had a lot of experience working with students, faculty, and administration and I know what is requir.ed to get things done. A good example is my attainment of bulletin boards for the Hotel and the YMCA after two months of hassles. I would encourage all students who care about the future of Wilkes College to attend the Presidential Forum of Wednesday, April 1, (April Fools Day) at 8:00 p.m. in Stark 101 to hear my opponent, myself, and the Presidential candidates for Commuter Council and Student Government give our platforms for the election on Thursday, April 2. The election will be from 10:00 to 4:00 in the lobby of Stark and from 4:30 to 6: 30 in the Cafe. Rob Doty , I �March 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page 5 We get ... more Lourie States Ideas For lllHC LETTERS Diplomas-------- Stadents Feel Majors Should Be Included To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to address our fellow students here at Wilkes. Last year , we sat idly by and watched as the seniors at that time struggled with the administration over the issue of the new format for the diplomas. The administration wanted the diplomas to simply read "Bachelor of Science" or "Bachelor of Atts". The students wanted the diplomas to read as they had in the past, namely "Bachelor of Science in Physics" or "Bachelor of Arts in Physics". Which one would .,;..1 rather??? There is reaiiy no comparison. Don't say that it doesn't really matter to you, because it will when you are sitting in your home or office in the future and suddenly you ask yourself, "Bachelor of Science in what?". Sadly enough, the administr~tion won, and the diplomas are now as lifeless as the sidewalks which we .walk upon every day here at good old Wilkes. In our three years here at Wilkes, we have seen many warranted complaints by students go unheeded. by the administration. We have nothing against the administration . We are sure that the). are all well qualified individuals. But the buck has to stop somewhere, and we . are asking you, our fellow students, to help us stop it dead in its tracks Right NOW!!! It doesn't matter whether you are a freshman, senior, or graduate student. This matter is' going to affect each and every one of us in the very near future. It is aboQt time that the administration realized that we are the ones responsible for keeping this institution of higher learning in business. Without us, there would be no Wilkes College. We are not radicals, but we do speak up when we realize that something is wrong. And we assure you that something is very, very wrong here. We must pay for our diplomas. Don't you think that they should signify the four years of hard work and thousands upon thousands of dollars which we have sacrificed to obtain them? One administration official was quoted as saying that the name of the major on the diploma detracted from its aesthetic appeal, and gave it a cluttered look. She said that the major appeared on the students' transcript. We don't know about you, but we sure as hell are not going · to frame our .transcripts and hang it on our walls . They are OUR diplomas, and they should read as we want them to. The format should not be determined by someone who has not sacrificed so much for the diploma as we have. The administration officials all have their diplomas. Let's all get together and let them know how we want ours to read . This may sound corny, but united as one powerful voice we are sure we can make a difference. Remember, this is a problem which we must all _ face. Start writing letters to this paper so that we can · organize ourselves. We have the BEACON as an excellent vehicl.e by which to voice our views. Let's use itl We will start circulating petitions very soon. Sign them. Have your friends sign them. Have your parents sign them too. If enough parents get involved, that could be the crucial difference. This is a matter of pride. We are all individuals, and our diplomas should signify our individual accomplishments. Start the ball rolling right now by writing letters, complaining to the administration, and by making your voice be heard. We know what we want. Do You? Let's get moving. Sincerely yours, Gregory M.

Sardegna Class of 1982 To the Editor: To all residence hall students: On April 2, the residence hall students will be given the opportunity to elect the next President of the Inter-Residence Hall Council. You will be given the opportunity to express y01,1r opinion. As a candidate for such an important position, I have given a great deal of thought to the problems we face at Wilkes. Perhaps the greatest problem we face is the disunity of the student body. It's shameful to say that a large percentage of _students don't know what IRHC is or even cares! The image of IRHC must be built up, and the gap between students and student leaders closed. I propose to raise-the quality of IRHC reps by subjecting them to an end of the year evaluation. A good rep will project a view of confidence in IRHC so that no student should feel that his complaint will not be heard . To show the presence of IRHC to students, I will encourage all reps to submit their views to the Beacon. Closer ties with Resident Assistants and hall president~ is imperative in order to establish a stronger line of commications between IRHC and residence halls. Students must learn to take pride in their residence halls and indentify themselves with it . The quality of IRHC as a body must be improved, as well. The participation of good students who were not elected in their resident halls can be a great asset to IRHC. In order to attract these people to IRHC, I propose that a ten member non-elected body be incorporated within IRHC. Any student who wants the status and rights of an elected representative will be given that chance by submitting an application to the executive council of IRHC. From these pool of students, ten will be Su,imming·------------ lleader Corrects Article To The Editor: Am writing in reference to· an article in the last issue of the Beacon by Chris DeRe, caption~d "Swim Commentary". The article deals strictly with the boys' performances at MAC swimming championships while ignoring the fact there were five girls from Wilkes competing on the same date in the same pool at Widener College. Is the author ignorant of the facts or chauvinistic in the approach to journalism. The word approach is used loosely, for the story in itself is a series of ruptured platitudes and hollow excuses. Let the record show the girls scored 57 points in the girls' competition while the boys scored 16 points in the male competition. Peggy Butchkavitz took tenth fn the 200 yd. Breaststroke, Karen Field took seventh in the 100 yd. Freestyle. Megan McGuire took sixth in the 200 yd. Backstroke and eighth in the 500 yd. Freestyle. Michele McGuire took seventh in the 200 yd. Butterfly, eighth in the 200 yd. Individual Medley and eighth in the 100 yd. Butterfly. Lorraine Koch recorded her best times of the year. The relay team composed of Megan McGuire, Peggy Butchkavitz, Michele McGuire and Karen Field took ninth place in the 400 yd. Freestyle Relay and ninth in the 400 yd. Medley Relay. Sincerely yours, Anne Evans Editor's Note: We stand cor- rected. ·It was indeed an error to omit the girls' performance at the, MAC swimming championships at Widener College. It was an error in reporting which sometimes occurs when d~dlines have to be met. May we take this opportunity to congratulate the girls on their fine representation of Wilkes College at the MAC's. May we also thank Anne Evans for pointing this error out to us and for presenting it (for the most part) in a mature fashion. Tacker Thanks Fellow Workers To the Editors: As my term of office approaches the end, I find myself reflecting on the year gone by. Inter-Residence Hall Council . has grown a great deal this year. Attendance at meetings and activities sponsored has been outstanding. Discussion of various topics have encompassed the campus. Many of these originating in the Inter-Residence Hall Council meetings.

They put up with my being confused a great deal! 1 appreciated their support and cooperation!! I Appreciation also extends to my advisors, Paul and Jean Adams and to the Deans, Administration, Faculty, and Staff of Wilkes College with whom I have worked so closely. I can never express enqugh of the love and encouragement everyone gave me during my terI!). in office. In closing, I wish to extend to all my constituents a wonderful semesterlll Also, I wish that all resident students - past, present, and future - learn to live, pro~ sper, and enhance their lives through residence hall living!! I Biya, Janine Tucker PresidentInter-Residence Hall Council more letters on p. 6 given the name of appointed representative. This will insure greater interest in IRHC . A serious problem inflicting residence hall students is the damage of our halls and campus. As the present Maintenance Committee chairman of IRHC, I have seen enormus destruction of our -property and the impact of vandalism on our college costs. I propose a campaign against vandalism, initiated by IRHC, calling to the attention of students the fact that vandalism hurts the student body as a whole. Students must be shown more clearly, the consequences of vandalism . Although the issue of coeducational housing has been here at Wilkes for a number of years, a solid basis for its hopeful adoption has been formed. Now is the time for all residence hall students to stand up and say, "I want co-ed housing," The next president of IRHC will play an important role in co-ed housing. If co-ed housing is adopted, I will work to expand it to the point where students are satisfied. If it is not adopted, other housing alternatives must be investigated. There are issues that must be contended against the administration and faculty. Presently, the administration informs students of an increase in college costs by sending a bill to our homes that has a significantly larger amount than the previous bill. I will ask the administration to send to our homes information disclosing why college costs have increased. The faculty's most recent withdrawal policy must be amended. It is not fair that students are given four weeks to withdraw from a course that does not offer it's first exam until the sixth week. Since the IRHC president represents the residence hall students as one, it is important for him or her to know what the students want. In order to obtain these close ties, my administration will be characterized by frequent questionnaires asking students to express their opinions on certain matters. Present topics I am interested in · are coed housing, fraternities and sororities, study alternatives, parties, residence hall parking, and other controversial topics. In order to better prepare for next year, these questionnaires will be circulated before the end of April. The concepts stated above are solid and should be tried. Win or loose I will work hard in IRHC to implement these ideas. Although the primary reason for this article is to gain your support, I am also interested in making a point. We as students and young adults are paying thousands of dollars for our food, buildings, activities and education. We are providing incomes for the faculty and administration. If any of us are unhappy we must voice our opinion! IRHC will voice your opinion. I call and ask for your support. Together our voices will be heard.

What happens to this investment should be of some concern. What do students get? Movies, dances and parties? This is just the shell of what ·student government is all about. It is known because it is the visible part of S.G. There is the student input on faculty promotion and tenure that S.G. went through a long hard battle to bring about.

The Student Government President must represent the entire student body, he must act as a liaison between students and administration, and try to promote fellowship, scholarship, and the name of Wilkes College. It · is my _ opinion . that Al Wirkman would do the best job. As Student Government President, he wo_uld try to create an atmosphere that would promote student involvement. He would en~ courage all organizations and all students to get involved, and would try to create an atmosphere conducive to this purpose. He has already shown · his leadership abilities as a member of Student Government for the past three years. He has had the opportunity to work with the Ad.ministration and represent the students.

Dan Talenti Physics Major dent of such a large organization is not receptive to suggestion and criticism, then we should hang our heads in shame. I feel S.G. is, and should work even harder, to be flexible t~ students' concerns and needs. Therefore, I feel that communication is the key. We must reach more of the student body and they must know that we can be reached. Because of changes in the social policy, student government has encouraged others to sponsor activities, and has shifted to dealing with important problems. These problems involve student input in academics, college policy and student service. I feel that these are worthy goals to pursue. With respect to qualifications, I have been involved in S.G. since I was a freshman . I enjoy student service and feel that I have done my job very well. I have presented students' opinions on faculty policy to the entire faculty and have helped draft a lot of legislation to make students' opinions kno~n. lt is also' important, in the office of S.G. president, to be able to speak effectively.

My naine is Joe Knox and I am running for this honor. Those of you who know me also know that I am dedicated to representing the student voice on campus through Commuter Council, Student Government, the Student Center Board, a faculty committee and with various college administrators.

I am not saying this to be sensational or controversial. I am simply stating facts. Unless Congress does something soon, EVERYONE'S financial aid from Washington is in trouble. All of the programs offered by the government face drastic cuts. Here is a rundown of the issues as they exist now: The B.E.O.G. Program (now called Pell Grants) is about 1.2 billion dollars short of funding to maintain grants at last year's levels. Failure to rec;:eive this additional funding will result in a maximum grant of $1 ,260, approx- and Elections Chairman, and is currently a member of the Executive Council: Al Wirkman has taken an active part in all campus activities. He attended most every college event and has worked with enthusiasm . He does his best to do everything possible for the students. He has fought for student rights, student financial aid, and as a representative he has done a lot for Wilkes College. I would strongly urge every student to vote Al Wirkman as their next Student Government President. Sincerely, Beth Hammer imately 30% less than last year. This will become effective for the Fall, 1981 semester. To make matters worse, President Reagan has frozen processing on these grants and asked Congress to come up with a new Family Contribution Schedule. This can only mean more cuts in the program. Remember, these cuts will become effective this Fall. The Guaranteed Student Loan is $600 million short of the funding required to keep this program funded at last year's level. These cuµ can only hurt the more than 350,000 grant recipients who depend upon the GSL to meet college costs. The National Direct Student Loan faces a decrease of 38 % of its funding. This will - force some 135,000 needy students out of the program when institutional demand for these need-based loans exceeds one billion dollars. These are the issues. The next question is: How do they affect me as a student at Wilkes? The answer is simple. If you are a student who receives any of these grants or loans, you can be affected. You may be one of the many students · across the country who could be forced to withdraw from school. _You may be forced to leave Wilkes to go to a state or community college. If you are content to think 'that this can't happen to you, then you can stop reading now and face the consequences later. If you are worried, or at least a little concerned, then read on ..

As a Senior at Wilkes College, I had to make this decision three times in the past. Each time I voted, I based my decisions on who had the most experience, greatest leadership qualities, and most important, who would do the . most for .the students. Well, this year my decision is easy. Al Wirkman has been a member of the Student Government for the past three years. He was this years Homecoming Chairman, he has served as Publicity I feel, to sponsor a weekend that was not only fun but different . Sometimes, the best events· fall through not because of lack of planning but because of lack of pizzazz, of uniquemess. I feel it's important to strive to be creative in our events. In the three years as S.G. rep, I have always tried my best to inform students, to find answers to their questions. and answer the "why's". I intend to continue this attitude if elected. College can be frustrating . Tuition goes up; financial aid goes down. Test follows test. We have pressures from all around. We have needs; needs to alleviate the pressure, to have a good time in order to reduce the stress. We also have academic needs; where do we turn if we run into problems; if we need someone to talk to? As student government president, I intend to work my hardest to do the best job possible for the entire student body of Wilkes College, to protect and stand up for their best interest and to work on determining their concerns in academics, social life, communication and student service .

You have to write letters and the time to write them is now. If you don't care or you just don't bother to write, you have only yourself to blame if these cuts become effective. The time for action is NOW . Also, this time is fast running out. The House and Senate Budget Committees are meeting now. The Senate Budget committee has already approved more cuts than the President had asked for .. If you do not write and write soon, it will be too late and anything you say will mean nothing. · COPUS does not want · this to happen . I am sure that most of you feel the same way. If you write the letter and _address the evelope, COPUS _will make sure that it gets maile<l. We CAN beat these cuts and we CAN make our voices heard. It just takes a little bit of effort. If you have any questions, contact Joe Knox, Rich Myers, Joe Horrox, John Finn, Carl Kadtke, · Robbie Bale, or stop in the COPUS office Mon. through Fri. between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P..M. The office is located on the second floor of the Student Union Building. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, let me add this: Together, we CAN make a difference. Richard Myen COPUS "Quarterly." While I always enjoyed reading the publication, I found one article particularly disturbing in this issue. As an alumma of the depart' ment, I found the story about the Department of Language and Literature incomplete. The debate team is never mentioned once throughout the article. It should be noted the debate team is the most successful group to be under the roof of Kirby Hall. While at Wilkes, I never had the courage to join the team, although I wished I could. I never thought (and still don't) that I had what it took to be a public speaker and always admired those who could do it, and do it successfully. Dr. Kinney and his crew of "Kinney's Kids" deserve a lot of credit. His dedication to the students should have been noted somewhere in the article. He is a member of that department's faculty, so it should follow that the debate team is technically under the "catch-all" -term Languages and Literature that seem to include everything but the kitchen sink in Wilkes academia. As for "articulation," like the title suggests, well, the debaters are the most articulate persons I've ever known in Kirby Hall. Obviously, the Publi<, Relations Office has overlooked the most successful group on campus. My question is, HOW? In the future, I would hope that the "Quarterly" staff would double-check its contents before going to press. Inaccurate articles such as these do not make me feel that my donation dollars are worthwhile. I will remain anonymous in order to avoid any finger-pointing and other nasties that fill some people's days at Wilkes.

First, the social life on campus must be improved. Second. the student body must become better informed. of the activities of Student Government. Third, our greatest source, the student body, should be tapped by S.G. Fourtfi, Wilkes sfudents should have an impact on college policy when the issues concern us. Fifth, Student Government must realize that we represent, serve. and attempt to satisfy the needs of Wilkes students. Finally, only through a united student body can these changes become a reality. Immediately. the question arises. how do I plan to achieve these goals. The social life can be coordinated such that every weekend activities are taking place. Also, S.G . should begin a campaign to lower the drinking age in the state. If this was achieved the.party policy would be changed radically, but in a way favorable to both the students and the college. Two commuters and resident hall students must be invited to Student Government meetings. More importantly, non-S.G . representatives will be placed on committees. By doing this more students would help shape the college policy. Also, issues confronting S.G. should be published so that students can understand a problem fully and then express their opi• niontoS.G. However, we can only be effective if S.G. works with LR.H.C., C .C . and most importantly, the student body. For ooly if all the students are united can we have an impact on college policy. We must prove to the administration that we want to improve Wilkes College f~r everyone's benefit. by John Finn Last October, several students from the commerce and finance department established the Student Advisory Board, a committee designed to provide fellow students with a format in which they could openly or confidentially voice their comment or greivance concerning any aspect of their department.

The Veterans' club consists of 22 written members but only 10 or 12 are active in it . The club was not that active during the Fall semester but according to new club president Bill Fought, "We're in the process of starting it over." There are about 70 veterans on campus but most of them do not have the time to belong to it . Mr. Fought stated that the reason veterans don't get involved in the club is because they are married or they have work when the meetings are. Fought also said, "Because we are all different majors, this club is a secondary club to most vets because if they get involved in a club they usually get involved in one that has to do with their major, like biology." The Veterans' club use to be very active at Wilkes and, according to Fought, it will be very active again in the future . Blood Drive Slated For Next Thursday The third and final B1009 Donation Day of this academic year has been slated for next Thursay in the college gym between 10:00 and 4:00. The process of giving blood is not painful and it takes only about one half hour to 45 minutes. There are over 2300 potential donors on campus including faculty, administration, staff, and students.

They can also begin by being referred to Act 101 by their instructors, or by their Act 101 advisors. Students can go for tutoring any time during the semester. The tutoring schedules are devised by Mary Ann Greene, coordinator of the Act 101 tutoring program. Usually the tutoring is done during the day at Ross Hall. However, the tutor and the student can make other arrangements if necessary. Students are tutored on a one to one basis, but' sometimes two students prefer to be tutored at the same time, if they are both receiving help in the same subject. The students are generally tutored about two hours a week, but they can have more time if they feel they need it. Greene holds a training session for tutors once each semester. The tutors, who usually have a 3.0 average or better, are peer tutors and are experienced in the subject they are tutoring. They are paid for their work; it is not a volunteer program. The training session teaches the tutors how to treat the students and how to help them with their problems. Sometimes a film is used for training. The session lasts for approximately one hour. The Act 101 program is a special program designed to give those high-school students who score low on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S .A.T.) a chance to succeed in college. Act 101 students who feel they need tutoring can seek help and advice by going.to the Act 101 office located at 251 S. River Street, or by calling extension 366. Opportunity ·only KNOX ONCE! for C.C.

Kaschak mentioned that be is happy with the way the team is pulling together. He added that every player is doing what is asked of him which greatly adds to the team's overall efficiency. Asked to comment on the effect that press coverage and criticism has on the players, Coach Kaschak replied that he has a simple philosophy regarding this aspect of sports. He said that he tells his players, "Rankings and newspapers are just like rat poisoning, they won't hurt you if you don't swallow them." It should be an interesting year for the Colonel Baseball Team, one which may end with an MAC title. Colonel Power "This is the first time since I have been here that we have any depth at all."

J ,I �March 2'7, 1981 The Beacon, Page 11 Area Expert Explains KungFu Art by Tom Jordan Many of the old Chinese people did not want Kung-Fu taught to Americans and, until the late 1960's, Kung-Fu was not taught to non-chinese people. In fact, the late Bruce Lee was one of the first masters to teach Kung-Fu to Americans. Because of the untimely death of Bru~e Lee in 1973, many rumors about his de_a th were started. One of these rumors is that he was killed by Chinese Kung-Fu masters because he taught KungFu to Americans. However, one American who did learn Kung-Fu is Sifu Cindy Rothrock, teacher at the Shaolin School of Kung-Fu in WilkesBarre. Sifu Rothrock not only has black level in Kung-Fu but also a black belt in Karate. She has studied the martial aiv for almost ten years and said that she first started it because it would be a "good form of exercise." Sifu Rothrock has been competing in tournaments .since 1975 and has won 235 trophies. She has been rated number one form competitor in the United States by a national survey from the rating systems of "Karate Illustrated" magazine. She hs also been awarded a plaque for "Top Form" competitor in 1978. Sifu Ernie Rothrock, owner of Chuck Robbins .. .

'M .,....., the Shaolin School of Kung-Fu, is a black belt in Kung-Fu and has studied the art for 13 years. He is one of the best, if not the ~t, Kung-Fu master on the east coast. Ernie has entered some tournaments, but according to Cindy "he is more concerned with running the schools" both in Wilkes-Barre and in Scranton. Ernie and Cindy were invited to Hong Kong and Taiwan this past summer to demonstrate Kung-Fu. In Hong Kong, according to Cindy, "There are a lot of schools of Kung-Fu there, but they are real small. In fact, one was on a roof top, that was their school, t;he roof top." In Taiwan, they found that Kung-Fu was hidden. The masters taught their students in the park early in the morning. Each instructor taught in his own spot in the park. One instructor Cindy met in Taiwan was a 68 year old master of Kung-Fu. The master taught Cindy a form of Kung-Fu and was so impressed with how she learned the form that he might come to America. The people of Taiwan were also very impr~ with her. She said, "Each morning as I was working out, peopfe would come over to watch me. Each day more and more people would come to watch and start clapping and cheering." Kung-Fu tournaments consist of light contact, form and weapons. Light contact is a form of sparring or fighting without really hurting anybody. Form is scored lilce gymnastics on a system of one to ten points. Weapons consist of doing a form with a weapon of Kung-Fu. There are 36 classical weapons of Kung-Fu, the most popular of which are the sword, ·spear, staff and nunchalcus. The nunchalcus are a weapon made popular in many of the Bruce Lee movies such as "Enter the Dragon" and the mive he was working on before he died, "The Game of Death." As stated in part one of this story, Kung-Fu is a great way of self defense. Students of Kung-Fu learn it not to hurt people but to protect themselves. When students learn Kung-Fu they must have respect for it and also have respect for the masters who teach it. Diamondmen Down Johns Hopkins U. by Pete Steve The Colonels of Coach Dave Kaschak evened their exhibition record this past weekend to 2-2 with a 7-1 victory over Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Blue and Gold started the season off with a lo~ to Randolph Macon by a score of 7-6. Coach Kaschak said the game was close but the team made the kind of mistakes you would expect out of a ball club in their initial contest. The diamondmen then split a twinbill with Western Maryland in Western Maryland when they lost the opening game 3-1, but came back to win the second game 9-1 . Top hitters on the day for the Colonels were Ned Sandercock who had five hits, and Chris DaRe who had four hits. Bob Miller suffered the loss in theHrst game for Coach Kaschak's troops while Rich Geffert picked up the win in the night-cap. Jirri Michaels started the second game but was relieved by Geffert in the fourth inning. Geffert walked none and struck out five in notching his first win on the year. The Colonels will take the field once again on the 28th of March in Kutztown where they will play a double-header against Kutztown State. Their first home app~rance will be on March 31 when they host the Royals of Scranton for ' a double-header.

With the season opener tomorrow at Juniata, the best way to preview this year's team and season is with the good news an d t h e ba d news. First the bad news. The weather for the first few weeks of practice has been horrendous. It's been cold and the wind has been bellowing across the Wilkes tennis courts at velocities suitable for testing aircraft (an exaggeration). As mentioned before, a few players have been lost since last year. The gaps have been filled, but by fres hmen, so the team may be considered inexperienced. Of the three up perclassmen, k only one, Stanley Manos i, is a f l senior. He has a course load o 2 Tennis .::redits this semester and almost chose to sit out the season.

The team travelled to Maryland where they battled extremely cold weather and compiled a 1-2 exhibition record. The team beat Washington College 11-7, and lost to Western Maryland 8-7 and Washington College in a five inning game 10-7. Winning was of secondary importance as the coaches planned to give the team experience and play different people at vario1:1s positions. These were the primary I I goals of the trip, so it was a very successful one. The schedule for the trip called for doubleheaders against Western Maryland on Friday, Washington College on Saturday, and Mount St. Mary's on Sunday. However, the cold weather forced the cancellation of one game against Western Maryland and the shortening of one against Washington. In addition, the games scheduled at Mount St. Mary's were cancelled due to the NCAA Division II men's basketball championship game. The cold weather made play difficult, but the team still played well . In addition to the cold there were gusting winds which made many of the fly balls to the outfield intriguing adventures for the fielders. Offensively, the team gripped their ice cold aluminum bats hard enough to compile an overall .247 batting average. The leading hitters were sophomore Stacy Keeley at .500, freshman Kim Smith at .428, senior Cathy Poplawsky at .400, sophomore cocaptain Karen Johnson at .375, and sophomore co-captain Joyce Walsh at .333. In the extra bases department , Walsh had a homerun and a double, Poplawsky had two doubles, and Johnson hau a double. Defensively the team played well, and they only committed 16 team errors. The opposing teams as a whole managed to compile an overall. 255 batting average against the Wilkes hurlers. This year's team is led by sophomore co-captains Joyce Walsh and Karen Johnson, and they are~ upported by a talented cast of players. The pitchers are sophomore Cheryl Frystak, sophomore Trish Riley, and freshman Karen Bove. Johnson plays behind the plate and leads the team on defense. The infielders are Walsh. senio r Cathv Poplawsky, junior Mary Jean Farrell, sophomores Stacy Keeley and Lana Lawrence, and freshman Annie Reilly. The outfielders are sophomores Carol Hagen, Ellen Van Riper, and Michelle Weiss, and freshman Kim Smith. The trip was the first ever by the t1:_am an.d was fully funded by the team . During the winter months, the team sold .candy and hoagie sandwiches and held bake sales to raise money. The team would like to thank . and express their gratitude to all the people who bought the above items and made the trip possible. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

TljG Vol. XXXIII No.23 April 3, 1981 Over 340 Prospective Students Participate In Visitation Day - by Andrea Hincken Visitation Day, held on Sunday, March 29, was a program held to introduce prospective students to the college. In recent years, isitation Day was an all day affair, but this year the program was shortened and made an afternoon afffair . This was done to avoid complications with time and travel, as many people must travel a distance in order to attend. Although the program was shorter this year, it was setup so that there was time to relax and see everything the college has to offer. Visitation Day participants were made up of approximately two hundred students, faculty, and administration. They participated in tours, parking cars, and also mtroducmg students to the \ · of majors offered at Wilkes. Some of the participants were - Dr. Kinney's Debate Team and students of work-study. Barbara Welch, Assistant Dean of Admis•sions, expressed her gratitude for all the_cooperation . She said, 'Tm thrilled with the support from everyone ." The program started off in the gymnasium where prospective freshman registered and r1:ceived. folders , which had. information about the college. They were then invite.cl into the gym for refreshments, where students had opportunity to talk to teachers from the many dep11rtments. Tables were setup from each department and subject information was offered . Tours were also held at this time so that the students could get acquainted with the campus. Campus tours were conducted by students . The first stop was at "Hollenback Haven", a women's dorm . The next stop was the library and Stark Learning Center. Moving on, the group went to the cafeteria and a men's dorm room and then back to the gym. When asking students what they thought, most of them felt it was a nice college. The only complaint was that the college was too spread out. When inquiring about what they lilted best, one parent commented.. "It's nice because of all -the preserved buildinp." One studeat commented 'that she lelt she would enjoy Wilkes beciwie Jt was sm.U -.nd the people seemed cl01e. Ooce the toun were completed. parents and students gathered In the 1)'111 for ·the greeting~. ·George llabton, Dean of Stuclent Affairs, was the first to extend a welcome to everyone. In his greeting he mentioned some of the school policies. The one he stressedthe most was the scliool policy too maintain personal student-teacher relationships. He commented, "Students receive a better education when there is meaningful relationships." Robert Capin, President of the college, welcomed everyone to Wilkes and expressed gratitude over the large reponse as he commented, "One of the joys of this job is welcoming students to the campus." He then reminisced about his college and teaching _days . He closed by mentioning the curriculum and policies. He stressed that Wilkes offered "Oppor.ties not guarantees." Barbara Welch, Assistant Dean of Admissions closed the greetings with her appreciation to everyone for the success of the day. She wished the students good luck and then guided them to the next part oLthe program. . At this time in the day parents and · students were· separated in order to further inform _both of th~m. The parents had a choice between two seminars. One was offerid for those concerned about financial aid . This was conducted by J:,inda . Giordano, Director of F' nancial Aid and • Richard Raspen, Director, Alumni Rlations Gymnasium. Tl}e other Seminar was conducted to introduce parents to student services and activities. The speaker was Paul Adams, Director of housing. The Student seminar was held to acquaint students to services and activities offered to them. Co-op and career planning were the first things mentioned. The point stressed to students was that there is a difference between a job and a career. Then the Presidents of SG, CC and IRHC, greeted the studeJ)ts and r couraged them to get in lved .. d take advantage of clubs and activities offered at the college. They also talked about dorm IIfe, tutoring and parking problems. The last program dis- cussed ·was the Athletic department.

Koviack On Thursday, March 26, a senior class meeting was held in the CPA to discuss the up-andcoming Graduation Program for the Class of '81. Dean of Student Affairs George F. Ralston opened the meeting with some introductory remarks concerning graduation . He said, "There are important moments in your life and graduation from your baccalaureate institution is another one of those memorable days. You have a feeling of ambivalence about commencement. It's both a happy occasion and it's also a solemn occasion. We approach it with dignity. It's happy, joyful, playful, but we do it with dignity and with decency and in order." Dean Ralston then announced the schedule for this year's graduation. Commencement ceremonies open with a dinner dance on Wednesday, May 13, at 6:30 p.m. This year's dinner dance will be held at The Woodlands, WilkesBarre. Graduates and guests are invited. Guest's tickets are $15 each. Tickets for the affair must be procured by Monday, May 11, at the college bookstore. Rehearsal will be held on Friday, May 15, in the college gymnasium at 10 a.m. Dean Ralston stated, "The rehearsal is a requirement. We want the impression of this class to be a good one. We have everyone there so that you know what you're doing. That adds to the effectiveness of the whole procedure." Anyone having a question about attendance is to see Dean Ralston. Following the rehearsal, Mr. Richard G. Raspen, Director of Alumni Relations, will conduct the final official senior class meeting. Permanent class officers and trustees will be elected at this meeting. That afternoon the class picnic will be held at Dr. Farley's farm in Beaumont. Everyone is invited to participate.

Students often wonder if they are getting a fair deal on their financial aid package and why the next guy is getting a different amoutn of.financial aid. There are several different sources of financial aid available to students. Among them are loans, grants, scholarships and part-time employment programs such as the work-study program. Financial Aid Director Linda Giordano explained that the first step in the development of a student's financial aid package is the completion and submition of a college financial aid application. Applicants for financial aid must also apply for a Basic Grant as well as a grant from their home state, if their home state has such a program available. Additionally, students can apply for any other grants or scholarships they desire to help strengthen their financial aid packages. After the applications for the various grants and scholarships are sent in and processed, the student as well as the college receives notification of any awards that will be made. The college's finan- Touring Black Harlem an_d Chinatown or New York City Shopping Spree Leaving Wilkes-Barre by MARTZ TRAIL WAYS Sat., April 11th at 7:00 A.M. Returing at 2:00 P.M. FEE: $15.00 CALL: 824-4651 Ext. 465 cial aid office can then begin to determine the student's financial aid award. First, it must be decided which base figure will be used. There is one base figure for commuters and another base figure for resident students. Once it has been decided which base figure will be used, the estimated parents' contribution is subtracted from this total cost figure. A summer savings expectation and a contribution from the student's reported savings are also deducted from the total costs. What is left is called the estimated financial need. From this amount is deducted any state or Basic grants. At this point any remaining financial need is analyzed. The remaining need is usually cut in half. One half is usuallY. given in the form of a collegeadministered grant. The other half can be obtained through a loan or work-study, or a combination of both. There are, however, requirements which must be met if a student is to receive financial aid. The student must be enrolled fulltime at the college and must make satisfactory progress toward a degree. If a student is enrolled at least half-time he may still receive a Basic or state grant. Also, if a student applies for aid at a late date, his college-administered grant may be considerably less than half of his remaining financial need. During the 1980-81 academic year, Wilkes students received aid in many forms and from many sources. The following list gives some of the sources followed by the number of students aided by that source: Basic grant - 1152; Pennsylvania State Grant - 1172; college work-study program - 454; National Direct Student Loan 467; Pennsylvania State THE BALLET CENTER Marilyn Cavallari, Director School of Classical Ballet Beginners - Intermediate - Advanced Children through Adults Classes also offered in Jazz For Children and Adults Dancercize and Aerobic for Adults ii Guaranteed Loan - 863; and Wilkes Scholarship Grant - 768. Numerous other sources also assisted students. All in all, Wilkes students received over $6.6 million in aid during the 1980-81 academic year. One area that is of concern to students is the Reagan Administration's proposed cuts in financial aid. The college financial aid office analyzed these proposed cuts and determined that if they are put into effect, the most harm will be dealt to the students coming from lower-income families. It was determined that 91 percent of the students at this college come from families with annual incomes below $27,000. As a result, any actions that will reduce funding for the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program will have the most impact on the students wno can least afford it. The financial aid office's impact study reveals that "although no definite word is available as to the nature of the Reagan Administration's budget cuts, it seems that there is strong sentiment to revoke the expansion of both the Basic Grant Program and the Guaranteed/Insured Student Loan Program that resulted from the passage of the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which was effective for the current academic year. Should this happen and the · programs revert to pre-MISAA guidelines, there would be. a substantial effect on the student body of this institution." The statistics reflect the differences between the number of students receiving Basic Grants before MISAA. In 1978-79, a preMISAA year, 669 Wilkes students received a total of ,6 $655,298 in aid through the Basic Grant Program. In 1980-81 1152 students received $1,195,489 in Basic Grant aid. The Reagan Administration also plans to remove the payment of both the interest subsidy and the "lender's incentive" · from the Guaranteed-Insured Loan Pro- gram. The student would then be required to add the accumulated interest to his principal balance and repay both following graduation. Interest rates would also go up, probably to a rate near the current money-market rates. According to the impact study, "Lenders would be much less willing to allocate such a large amount of their funds to student loans because they would no longer have the assured interest and incentive payments and the ease of administration. Students, too, would be much less willing to borrow, knowing that both the principal and all the accrued interest would be payable by ·them following graduation." Again, the statistics show that in the pre-MISAA year of 1978-79, 742 Wilkes students received $1,340,000 in Insureed Loan funds. This is compared to the estimate that, for 1980-81, 1085 students woul~ receive $2,198,500 A fun experience Camp Swago-Camp Swatonah 1410 East 24th Street • Brooklyn, N.Y. 1121 O Write for application: • All college students eligible • All water, land, cultural and social activities (Sterling Hotel Annex) student teach next year, either in the Fall of 1981 or the Spring of 1982, on Monday, April 13, 1981 at 11:00 a.m. or 12 noon in the mezzanine of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Peforming Arts.

Despite the gloomy picture, the financial aid office is trying to remain optimistic, and is hoping that all of the proposed cuts will not be put into effect. However, if all of the cuts are put into effect many Wilkes students will find it difficult to finance their education, and as many as 15 percent of the students here mav have to decide whether or not to continue their education. With this in mind, the administration has been urging students to write to their congressmen to encourage them to vote against any financial aid cuts. • Eight week season.

There is a possibility that the trees may not put out leaves or blossoms this year. From The Other Side .. ... . .. . "Hill Street Blues" When I first saw the ads for ' 'Hill Street Blues ' ' I-thought it was just another cop show . I don' t know what caused me to sit down and watch it the first time , but by the end of the hour I knew my first impressions were wrong. It is the most unique cop show I have ever seen , and at the head of the class of 1980 premiere shows . The writing is top notc h in ability to show the daily problems of police work, and how cynicism can enter .i nto a cop' s life . In his book " The Choir Boys," Joseph Wambaugh wanted to show how a cop 's life can really get rough . " Hill Street Blues" uses this atmosphere for its setting. This show is not a typical ''somebody com mitts a crime, and the cops solve it" style show. The biggest asse t to the program is ics believability . Most cops will tell you chats how it reall y is, not as glamourous as you m ight think . There are no Starsky and Hu tches running around in a big red car, just a lot of plain blue policemen trying to keep control of chaos . Some people may h ave trouble foll owing t he show, because it doesn 't follow story lines in the typical m anner. This is why it is so good , because it makes viewers look beyond the front line of the story and into secondary plots. All the actors have produced solid characters, and a big round of applause to Michael Conrad for his pan. The show doesn ' t rely on just one actor, and that can save a show from becoming boring and repetitive . The title " Hill Street Blues" has something hidden in it that gives emphasis to what the show is trying to accomplish. Yes, the show does have redeeming social value· because it is trying to make the viewer aware of a situation. The battle cops fight is not just in the streets . Every day they see the worst the world has to offer_, and_it must get to them . It is a wonder more cops aren ' t cynics because of what they face. This is one of the strong secondary plots to the show , and is , without a do ubt , it 's biggest asset. by Louis Czachor Many of the Japanese Cherry Blossom trees located in the downtown area and on the river commons are dying. The sick trees can be found on property owned by Wilkes College, King's College, the City of Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, and others. Dr. Charles B. Reif pointed out that fo ur years ago he recommended that the trees be sprayed, but his recommendations were ignored. He explained that the trees have been attacked by scale insects and he noted that the insects · apparently take enough sap out of the trees to do some damage and eventually kill the trees. He added that we have had two d ry seasons in a row and that has not helped . At this point, Reif believes that all of the trees should be cut down and burned . He suggested that they be replaced with Dogwood trees, or some other flowering variety of tree that would have a better chance of survival than the cherry trees. In the past few years, the trees have had fewer and fewer blossoms and leaves. Reif stated that he thinks that the trees will be mostly dead this year and in few weeks we will see if they put out any leaves and flowers. Reif commented, "Scale insects are a major pest in citrus orchards. The Japanese Bettle, which is such a pest, was imported with the Cherry Blossom trees planted in Washington, D .C ." He also noted that the scale insects are related to cicadas which do a lot of damage and make a lot of noise. He explained that the trees themselves have a short life. They are all grafted trees, and the flowers do not set fruit, so there are no seeds and the trees have to be propagated asexually. a QUOTABLE QUOTES "We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

(Penguin . $4 .95) This. new paperback is an exhilirating adventure 'into the un~olved mysteries of science and human consciousnesss. Deja vu, out-of-body experience, telepathy, mystical states, euphoria, psychosomatic illness, phanton limbs: Is the brain a sophisticated electrochemical machine that could account fo r these subjective experiences? Or, are there additional factors not yet understood by, contemporary science? Meditation can lower blood pressure, biofeedback exercises can alleviate stress, and focused mental concentration can cure symptoms of disease. T hese .and other puzzles are explored by Taylor in this stimulating account of the workings of the mind . He explains that consciousness is not a unitary thing; rather, it includes a Wide range of experiences, from seeing the color red to falling in love, from feelings of passion to feelings of joy at watching a sunset. The author concludes that these phenomena lie beyond the grasp of neuroscience. There is something more fo r science to discover about the relationship between the brain and that subtle and elusive region we call the mind .

Next semester registration will be even smoother as the process wil be completely computerized. According to registrar Doris Barker, the terminals are part of a program that was 3½ years in the planning. The final addition to the was presented to the state board. After the report was made to the state board, the board reached a decision to grant the department full approval, and the department was informed of that decision. The Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing Exaihiners is a legal body which determines if a school should be permitted to operate a nursing program . The board also reviews programs currently in existence to determine if they should remain in existence. program will be the introduction of information cards. These cards will have a concise record of each student on them, therefore eliminating the need for registration forms. This process also eliminates tedious paperwork. The cards will need to be verified by each student on registration day to avoid error. The computer system will be more efficient in the coming semesters, but initially there is more work. This semester only, in order to get the computer system started, the terminal_s must be cataloged. Putting the information into the terminals is ifficult and timely, according to Barker. She has no complaints about computer registration so far, but she added, "We'll have to wait and see." Computers are also being introduced to many other aspects of the college. In the past year, grade rosters have taken the place of class cards making records of student files easier to keep. Also, plans to put student records in computers are being considered with hopes of easing the complications of registration.

Indiana will now take the championship · trophy along with the pride of being the best college basketball team in the country home with them for their fans (and foes) to admise. Admiration is exactly what should be bestowed upon this year's champion because of the ability of the""'number one team to survive the upset. Upsets this year started so early that when they occurred late in the tourney, no one was really shocked when they heard about them. St. Joseph's beat DePaul, Alabama irmingham defeated Kentucky, B.Y.U. downed UCLA and then also went on to drop Notre Dame, and finally in the semi-finals North Carolina beat Virginia to get a shot at Indiana. These occurrences happened so frequently that they took the meaning out of the word upset. This had to be one of the strangest tournaments ever to be held. It not only knocked some of the top teams out of play very early, but it also showed the country th~t there really is no favorite or sure bet to win the title. No matter what Al McGuire says. Everyone knows who this year's championship team is and probably the majority of fans know who last year's top squad ■ KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER -- •Boys , students and mens Dickie Work Pants in 10 different colors. •Largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the valley . • Large selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkos, Field Jackets, Pee Coats and Flannel Shirts. was.

"He's a good first baseman;" Kaschak added, "he's a . much better than average first baseman, but then again, that's because he works so hard at it." But the key to Chicky's success at Wilkes is his hitting. As his coach pointed out, "Chicky's natural attribute as a ball player is his hitting." It was his hitting that made the difference last weekend in two preseaseon double headers against Kutztown State and Onondaga Community College. lri Saturday's games against Kutztown, ' Chicky went five-forseven with two doubles, a triple, and five runs batted in. In the opening game of the twin bill, a 10-6 loss, he went 3 for 3 with two runs scored and two runs batted in. During the second game, a 9-1 · victory, he started off strong, singling in a run in the first inning and doubling in two more in the second. In addition to his rbi's, he also scored a run. On Sunday, Chick knocked in five runs with two home runs and a double in the Wilkes exhibition victories over Onondaga of New York. His two home runs came in the nightcap, and Chick finished the day with a four for seven slate playing as a designated hitter. In all, he finished the weekend with a nine-for-fourteen outing and a total of two home runs, a triple, two doubles, and ten ru~s batted in. "He works hard to get where he is, " Kaschak said, "At first base he doesn't get that many balls hit to him, those he. does, he handles very well." A senior, Chicky has been excellent behind the plate ever since he was a freshman. In three years at Wilkes, he has hit .34_8 with 73 bi's in 74 games. Thirty one of hose rbi's came in his first year. As so homor-e he batted .320 with 10% DISCOUNT upon presentation of student ID card until 4/ 30/ 81 .

The results of the season opener against Scranton were not available at press time, but in any case, Chicky's role as a team leader cannot go without mention. His greatest concern is for the younger· players. "If those guys come through, we'll be alright. I'm counting on them ," Chicky said, reflecting some of the sentiment of the older players, "We've been playing for three years now, but we neve won the MAC championshlp." Ever since his high school years. at Pittston Area, Chicky has been a standout on the baseball diamond. He likes the sport; "It's a lot of fun . . . I've been playing for a long time." In four years at Wilk~, Chicky has been a valuable asset to the lineup, but he insists, "There are no individual stars; I like to pull for the guys." He's a team player, who's looking for the best. ''I'm just looking forward to a good year. " The Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate Chicky for his fine performance; and because he is a team player, we feel obliged to wish him as well as his teammates a good season. Go fo r it!

Lacrosse Team Loses by David Capin The Wilkes College Lacrosse team opened it's regular season this past Saturday at Ralston Field as they dropped a 9-3 decision to Widener College. It seemed as though the team suffered through "opening day Jitters" throughout the afternoon as they failed to generate a consi , , t attack . At · one point in time the Colonel offense looked good, but it sputtered through most of ·t he game. The defensive unit was more consistent than the offense, but it also faltered during the last quarter. The threesome of Eric Farber Damian "tak" Papieriello ana' Jeff Harper were responsible for the offense that was generated. Farber tallied 2 goals, Papieriello had 1 goal and 2 assISts, and Jeff Harper had 1 assist. It seemed as though the Colonels missed the offensive fire power of veteran Rich Modica who has been sidelined with a back injury for the past few weeks. Modica's absence was obvious as the Colonels only managed to score 3 goals on the afternoon. According to Coach Canine, "Modica is a very impor- tant part of our offense and his absence realfynurt us, but he is expected to return the action later this week." Defensively the stickmen played well for the first 3 quarters on Saturday. Goalie Paul Szczepabski played well as he had 15 saves. Larry Buffaloe also had a fine outing as his aggr ,_ · e style of play was probably one of the brightest spots for the Colonels throughout the afternoon. it should be noted that 10 of the players never played Lacrosse before. It is very difficult to break into any sport on the college level, and mistakes due to inexperience are expected . However, Coach Canine is very pleased with the progress of the first year players. ' He feels within a short period of time the first year players will make less mistakes and will have a positive impact on the team as a whole. The next game for the stickmen will be tomorrow afternoon as they will travel to Bathlehem to take on the Engineers of Lehigh University. upon us - talk about p ~ tioilf" -.....

Pitching was the name of the game as both hurlers proved to be stingy with base hits . Wilkes was limited to only 6 hits, none for extra bases, and Bucknell only got 11 with no extra basers. Cheryl Frystak, a sophomore, pitched an excellent game for Wilkes, and it was two costly errors by the defense which enabled Bucknell to post a victory. Kim Smith, a freshm an, accounted for the only Wilkes run with an rbi single. Errors proved to be costly for Wilkes as they played Susquehanna at Kirby Park. The game was the first conference clash for the team . Offensively the team played very well, J nd once again Cheryl Frystak pitched an outstanding game, but it was crucial errors by the defense which denied the women victory. Overall the team committed 6 errors, and unfortunately, almost all of them resulted in runs by the opposition. The team continuously du& holes for themselves. but they also bpt , out again. Like all good teams the ladies came ba()k time and time ,again, but In the end they could not.quite overcome clial11fif'llick their own mistabs. The 1ame wu a perfect eumple of a team beating themselves. Tbe'leadlng bitten for the pme were ~,_ Jobmoo with 2 for 3 with 2 runs batted in and runs scored, Joyce Walsh with 3 for 3 with 2 runs batted in and 1 scored, and Cathy Poplawsky with 2 for 4 with 3 runs batted in . In the second game the team took out their frustration leftover from the first and romped to a 14-2 victory. As fa r as the confererice was concerned, the game meant little, but to the team it was a game to vindicate themselves and show their true talent and to exhibit their determination and pride. Johnson and Walsh, the cocaptains, again were the big sticks for the ladies. Karen went 2 for 4 with 4 runs batted in and 2 runs scored, and Joyce went 2 for 4 with 3 'r uns batted in and 2 runs scored. Mary Jean Farrell, batting before Walsh and Johnson, went 3 for 4 with 4 rum scored, and she proved to be an offensive sparkplug and catalyst · for the team. Karen Bove pitched an excellent game as she limited Susquehanna to only 2 hits. · The nen big game for the team Is Saturday, April 4, when they travel to Juniata to play a doubleheader. The first game is an all lm_portant MAC contest, and the ladies will be looking to even their conference record at 1-1 with a victory. , FOUL BALLS ~ Co-eaptaa Ja,eeW.W.aaclKu..Jobnaa• far ..... .,_ tbe beut of the .....,offeaa.

No. 24 April 10, 1981 Congressman James Nelligan To Speak, Answer Questions by John Finn United States Congressman James L. Nelligan, Republican Rep_r~sentative . fr? m P_enn_wlvama s 11th D1stnct, will vISit Wilkes this Sunday, April 12, at noon . Nelligan is scheduled to speak for one-half hour in Stark 101 and then answer questions from students. The Congressman was invited to campus on March 28th by COPUS (the Coaliation of Independent College and University Students) , according to Rich Myers, the executive director of that group. "We wish to give students a chance to ask questions of the Congressman and find out how he feels about issues concerning students, especially financial aid. " Nelligan will speak on a number of different topics, including the status of financial aid bills in Washington. In a letter responding to Myers' urging Nelligan to support adequate funding for next year's Pell and BEeG grants, the Congressma n wrote, "I fully recognize the need to cut federal spending; however, I have some major concerns about the rapidity of the proposed changes in student aid programs, which would affect students who would begin the new school year in September - and in some cases, students who are planning to go to summer school." Myers said local media will be invited for the event. He stressed, however, the importance of student involvement. SA TScores............... ~ ............................................ . Wilke s Above National Average Despite national trends, SAT scores of incoming students at Wilkes College appear to have stabilized and may even be increasing. Since the College Board began publishing an annual report in 1972, scores on both the verbal and mathematics portions of the widely used test have steadily declined. However, the scores had appeared to level off in 1977 and 1978. Dr. Gerald K. Wuori, Dean of Admissions, explained that nationally average SAT verbal scores fell five points from their levels in 1977 to the levels in 1980 . During that same period, SAT mathematics scores fell four points. Referring to the verbal scores, Wuori pointed out that the average score for incom ing fres hmen at Wilkes in 1978 was 442 .94 . In 1979 the average was 428.44, and in 1980 the average was 433 .06. Nationally, verbal scores fell from 429 in 1978 to 424 in 1980, so students here have managed to maintain verbal SAT scores that are slightly above the national average. Look in g at the SAT mathematics scores, Wuori noted that in 1978 the average score for Wilkes freshmen was 490 .68. The average score dropped to 464.84' in 1979, and then picked up to 480.93 in 1980. Nationally, SAT mathematics average scores fell from 468 in 1978 to 466 in 1980. In the . mathematics portion of the Kirby Hall · Receives . Urban Quality Award by Louis Czachor Within the past year, Kirby Hall has been renovated and beautified and the focal com·munity has taken notice of this fact. The City of · Wilkes-Barre has presented the college with an Urban Quality Award because of the improvements made to Kirby Hall. Dean of External Affairs Thomas Kelly explained that the city has a program in which these awards are presented to recipients selected by the city's art jury. The purpose of the awards are to " recogn ize those individuals, businesses, and institutions who have made significant visual improvements to their properties." A certificate presented to Dr. Kelly and Dean of Management Andrew Shaw reads in part, "In recognition of those special efforts and splendid results to enhance and improve the aesthetic and en1vironmental qualities of _urban life in the City of Wilkes-Barre, including the civic committment and substantial contribution in support of the restoration, reconstruction, and revitalization of our city." In addition to the certificate, the college was presented with a p0lished aluminum "Q" which can be hung on the wall of a building. Kelly noted that the city also presented Urban Quality Awards to two other recipients. They are The Station restaurant, and the Hart Realty building at the corner of Northampton and South Franklin Streets. SAT, as well as in the verbal P?rtion, Wilkes students on the average have maintained scores above the national average . Wuori noted that in 1977 the College Board commissioned a blue-ribbon panel to look into the causes of the decline in SAT scores, but the panel fo und that there were no definitive answers. However, the panel felt the decreases before 1970 could be attributed to the increase in the number of women, minorities and lowincome students taking the test.

Assisting Dr. Natzke and acting as guides will be Elijah and Rita Stevens, both former residents of New York. Elijah lived in Harlem and his wife, Rita, grew up near Chinatown. Dr. Natzke organized the tour because he wanted students to get "a hands-on experience with New York. I want them to experience the transportation of New York, the lifestyles and to rub shoulders with_ the people of New Yo.r]c." When the tour reaches Harlem , their first stop will be the Harlem School of the Arts. The tour of the School of the Arts will b'e given by Mrs. Betty Allen.

The next stop will ·be at the Resurrection Roman Catholic Church, where they will meet Fr. Lucas. Fr. Lucas is a well known social figure and a political activist. According to Dr. Natzke, Fr. Lucas is a "symbol of the new black movement." After the touris finished Tn Harlem·, the students will travel to Chinatown. In Chinatown they will visit the Eastern State Buddist Temple, which is one of the few temples that are open to the public. They then will meet Mr. Ricahrd Wu of the Chinese Community Center. Dr. Natzke concluded by saying, "The communities are so deverse in class, there's no way we can even scratch the surface." A chartered bus will leave the Wilkes-Barre Martz terminal at 7 a.m. and will arrive about 9:30 a.m. at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Kinney. by Lisa Gurka and Mary Kay Pogar On Thursday, April 2, students of Wilkes had the opportunity to vote for the leaders of the three student government bodies . The Beacon polled a crosssection of both commuter and resident students to find out whether or not they voted, and their reasons for either voting or not voting. Of the 40 students polled, 31 voted and 9 did not. One junior commen ed that he did not vote because, "The people in SG and CC are egotists who don't give a damn about the students. Things are still the same as they were three years ago. We're still parking in the same places and getting the same tickets." Another junior seemed to echo these feelings and said, "I am apathetic towards SC and CC because they seem to the apathetic (towards the students)." Two freshmen's comments were, "Vote for what?" and "Who's running?" Other students, however, were A R r.~ i Phone: m-1n1 fttt r~,ii"I •I Holff Slfflin1 ,..,,.... P.J.W. 'M N AVY 113 Sout h Main St .

Knox then called for nominations and elections of officers. Following are the results of those elections: Ed Stachowiak, Vice President; Peggy Butchkavage, Treasurer; Bev Rothery, Corresponding S~cretary; Mary Ellen Judge, Recording Secretary. In his • final assessment of the council, Miller said he felt "this semester was a little more difficult due to the office move," but he added that the move "caused the administration to realize the importance of student leaders anct the services they provide. We've seen increased communication between the administration and students," Miller said, "and we've laid the groundwork for the future . I hope the commuter council will con-· SG Selects 1981-82 Officers As Nunez Takes Over Helm tinue to innovate and provide new services for students." Miller then made his suggestions for next year's council: During tbe summer all parking applications should be done by computer so that car-pool lists might also be compiled and assimilated for use early at the start of the first semester. Miller advised that services to apartment students should be increased and said that the possibility of a meal plan for them· at the student center should be investigated by the Food Service Committee. In other business, Amy Elias announced that the last coffeehouse of the semester would be held on Tuesday, April 7. Singer Marie Dubeil was to perform in the student center.

Her predecessor, Joe Galli, handed his gavel to her as he administered the oath of office. She was greeted by vigorous applause as she officially became SG president. One major order of business at the meeting was the election of the other officers for the 1981-82 academic year. The elected officers immediately began their new jobs. Bob Lashock and Tom Rooney were nominated for the office of vice president, but Lashock declined the nomination. As a result, Rooney was elected to the position. Incumbent Rec rding Secretary Elaine Kerchusky was the only one nominated for her position, and she was elected to a second term.

The student body has elected three new persons to lead them into new horizons and to help them explore novel fields ol interest. While not all of the Beacon's choices were elected to office, like the song says, "two out of three ain't bad." Now that .all of the votes aie tabulated and the winners congratulated, one more congratulations is due. Who is left to congratulate? YO" ARE . This year showed the greatest .increase in student voting in a number of years. You, really deserve a hurrah for getting up the energy to get out and vote, in this time of rampant apathy. Whether electing someone to the highest office or the lowliest charge, you as students should become more aware of what's going on in your environment. It's about- time that you were awakened to the fact that the person in that office does, in fact, affect the lives of many students directly or indirectly. While it may be· said that some of the reasons for voting were probably questionable, it's not for us to question motives. We're just glad that you're finally voting! Let's not let the spirit die. Keep up the voting and next year have an election that gives everyone something to talk about. Do you really want a Student Government, Commuter Council or InterResidence Hall Council president that's elec~ed by a majority of the minority? Perhaps the winner only received .5 % of the vote of the entire student membership, but was elected anyway because that percentage was 60 % of the voting population. Think of that the, next time you wonder just what SG, CC or IRHC does with your tuition dollars. The person handling that money was not even elected by a majority of students who are paying that money! Keep the voting interest up by showing continued support to this year's newly elected leaders, for they are going to need ' your help to make anything work for you. 1982 Class Pres. Discusses Diplomas . To the Editor: In the March 27th issue of the Beacon a very good letter was ·written by six, obviously very concerned students. The issue they addressed was that concerning diplomas. At this time I would like to be included as one of those concerned students. I have been a student at Wilkes for three years now, working very hard to reach a number of goals. One of these goals is to achieve my degree as a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Many long hours, nights with a ninimal amount of sleep, and other ·sacrifices have been made to achieve this goal. Next May all of my hard work will pay off and I want to be.able to display my achievement proudly in my diploma. True, a diploma is a piece of paper, but to us, the students, it is much more. It is a document of our success. We want it to indicate what we were successful in, not merely that we were successful. Is this too much to ask? I direct this to the administration . Look behind you, at your ~~'11 I I. New Time & Place: Sunday, April 12 9:00 p.m. In Stark I I l~~~;J~~~~~~j diploma. Aren't you proud of it? Doesn't it mean something to you? How did you feel when it was given to you? When we graduate from Wilkes we want to be able to look at our diploma and be proud of it. To quote the student's letter in the Beacon, "We as students are individuals and our diplomas should signify our individual accomplishments." To address the comment that the diploma would appear cluttered with the major, perhaps a redesigning of the diploma is the answer. Perhaps you, the administration, also made up of individuals see this issue as petty, but to the students it is important. Now for the students. I ask you . Do you want your major on your diploma? Do you want people to ask you constantly, "Bachelor of Arts in what?" or "Bachelor of Science in what? I personally want my major to stand out because it means something to me. Maybe it's selfish maybe not, but I know most of you feel the same way, I want to show off my diploma, especially my major. Let's get together, let's show the administration we do care. Let them know how we feel! You've paid good money for a good education and you've worked hard. You want people to see what you've done. The whole story isn't told in the words "Bachelor of Arts" or "Bachelor of Science", the major has to be there. One final note to the administration . Wilkes College is the only school I come to and applied to, so I was extremely happy when I was accepted here. It was one goal I had reached. I love this school and I will always defend it. I want to be proud of ,my school, but lately some issues have come up that have shaken my pride. Next year when I graduate I want to hold my head high and say, "Yes, I graduated from Wilkes College."

Further note: There are many creatures of every conceivable kind; but I, Adam, am the sole and single man." So says Adamin Mark Twain's delightful story of Eden-a.fter being entrusted with the responsibility of naming the creatures in the Garden . But then along came Eve, and that's when the trouble began. She has the knack of naming things simply "because they look like the thing." She calls a cow, "a cow," because it looks like a cow, much to the dismay of Adam who has already named it "a four-pronged white squirter. " Adam continues to have difficulty with Eve over the naming of things, including their first. child. Adam calis it a "fish" ("because, it surrounds itself with water almost every chance it gets") and wants to put it back in the pond .

The answer is yes, and Jack Klugman is a fine example. Before doing the NBC show "Quincy", Klugman won the hearts of America with his portrayal .of Oscar Madison P.S. (Pe!manent Slob). "The Odd Couple was one of the nation's top rated and criticized shows in its day. Klugman did an excellent job along with Tony Randall, and helped the show gain recognition as a fine adult comedy. Klugman was so well-liked that most people saw him as only a comedian, but he was able to overcome that problem in the part of Quincy M.E . Just bring in your resume and we'll do the rest.

RIVER STREET WILKES-BARRE , PA . •Wat lTINDIY NY TD LUXEMIOUIIG by Roya Fahmy When I attended rehearsal of Oscar WHde's "The Importance of Being Earnest, " I found myself amongst prim and proper Victorian characters enjoying •tea and truffles . The plot of "Earnest" revolves around mistaken identity, proper or improper · social circles and love . As I watched the characters all types of British humor came to mind. I saw a little of Monty Python, Professor Henry Higgins from "My Fair Lady" and a bumbling Sherlock Holmes. A brief sketch of the amusing . characters may tempt you to see the show .

In a desperate situation like that, most shows that are produced turn out to be trash . Yet, out of a garbage heap came "Qunicy". Not many viewers, including myself, thought that a show about a medical examiner would make it in the Rating's Race. Of course many budding and established people in that line of work found the show to be very realistic. With realism as a base, and some very solid scripts, the show gained as audience and good reviews from the critics. Through the whole experience Jack Klugman gained a reputation as a fine actor. This is a reputation that is well earned and deserved . Klugman was able to shed the · Oscar image, and gain a new one. Today Klugman is one of the top five male television actors in my opinion . . There _are few actors in the business that dedicate themselves completely to ' understanding a part, and the general theme of a show . Jack · Klugman is one of those few actors. The writing is some of the best on television, and it is increasingly hard to find scripts that match the level of professionalism the show's writers demand. Quincy does not always come out the winner in the end, and he do.esn't run around doing will stunts to catch the villans. The show deals with death in one sense, but doesn't rely on sorrow all the time. One would have to believe that it has raised public awareness as to how useful a Medical Examiner can be, and has made some law enforcement agencies use their M.E.'s more than before. While I may not sit and watch "Quincy every week, I do know when I take my time to watch the . show, it is time well spent. �..-u.-.7, Page 6, The Beacon, April 10, 1981 ,~.._..~__,.~,.._..~c>..-.1....,~~,.....,._..~,.._.~~~~.......... Po~ition Of Student Center Director !Blood Day Success/ull Ii Announced At Recent s CB Meeting I i by Elaine Czachor At the biweekly meeting of the Student Center Board, advisor Dean Art Hoover announced that next year the college will have a new Assistant in Student Affairs who will work with housing and the Student Center. He will be the Student Center Director, and this will be an administrative office. Commenting on this new position, Dean Hoover noted, 'Tm excited about it bec'ause I think it's something that we needed." He added, "I think it's a step in the right direction." Although the office of Student Center Board Director will be eliminated, the three Assistant Director positions will remain . Dean Hoover noted, "I think it would be important (for the new administrator) to have three topnotch assistants." The Board also decided that their selection committee for next year's officers will consist of Director Mike Canonico; Assistant Directors, Carol Benek, John Moffatt and Lisa Prokarym; Dean Hoover; Housing Director Paul Adams; and Treasurer Frank Gardner. The Board discussed the idea of the ping-pong ball machine and where it should be located. It was 'also suggested that the Student Center be open on the reading days, rather than closing on the last day of classes. Senior Engineers Build Robot by Tom Jordan .. Under the direction of Dr. Umid Nejib, the senior seminar engineering class is making a robot, an artifical intelligence device. The maldng of the robot depends on everyone in the class because the class is split into different groups which work on different aspects of the robot. Nejib stated, "This way each group depends on each other." The robot will be independent of cords and controls. That means that the robot will have to recognize different objects and shapes, and be able to distinguish what is in front of it. Dr. Nejib feels that if the robot can do simple tasks, then it will be able to do complex tasks. When the robot is completed, according to Nejib, it will be able to do surveillance and hazardous work. Nejib said that there were some complex problems concerning the weight .of the robot, an energy source and the accuracy of the artifical in- Luzerne County Bar Assoc. To Sponsor 1,au, School Day The Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association, commonly known as the Luzerne County Bar Association, is sponsoring a Law School Day for area college students on Friday, April 24, at the Best Western Inn, North Pennsylvania Avenue and East Market Streets, in Wilkes-Barre, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. They will have representatives from each of the following law schools: Dickinson, Villanova, Delaware, Duquesne, Temple, and the University of Pittsburgh. They are inviting juniors and seniors from each of the following colleges: Bloomsburg, Bucknell, College Misericor d ia, E!ist Stroudsburg, King's, Mansfield, Marywood, University of Scranton and Wilkes. A morning session will be held on law school admissions, law studies, and career options. In the afternoon, students will be able to engage in group discussions with individual law school representatives. There is no charge for the CQnference and a free buffedunch will be provided. Students may register with their pre-law advisor, Or. Robert Freysinger. telligence device. The seminar class is designed for seniors and is "one of the most underrated courses, "according to Nejib, he added "Many students say that it is the hardest one credit they have to work for ." The seminar is a one semester course, so this phase will be completed in April. However, Nejib stated that work on a project like this "really never ends" because of the work involved. Students in the seminar class have to "get involved in the research and design. They also must aquire the right equipment and be able to explain why they picked certain material instead of other material." Despite the fact that the project is very complicated, Nejib said that students are very interested in the work and spend lots of time on it. Nejib concluded, "I usually don't say what the seminar will be about until the first day of class, but I am planning to continue this project with the next senior seminar."

The ladies defeated local foes Misericordia 9-7 and Baptist Bible 34-2 in single games and downed Juniata 17-10 in the second game of a doubleheader after losing the first 10-8. The women now have a 4-3 overall record and a 2-0 NPWIAA record, but the loss to Juniata dropped the team's overall MAC record to 0-2. Offensively the team hit exceptionally well during the week and scored an amazing total of 68 runs for an average of 17 ~ game. The entire team hit well, especially senior Cathy Poplawsky w:ho amassed a .733 average on an 11 for 15 performance. Other big hitters were Karen Bove at .642, Karen Johnson and Kim Smith at .526, Carol Hagen at .500, and Stacy Keeley at .428. On the defensive side the team also played quite well and showed more consistency. Despite their improved defensive play, the team still had brief break downs which led . to unearned runs by the opposition. _ The game against Miseric_o rdia was played at Kirby Park and was a NPWIAA contest. The ladies fro m Wilkes built an early lead and held off a comeback by the Lady Highlanders to win by 2. The big gun for Wilkes was Karen Johnson who went 3 for 4 with 4 rbi's. Also hitting well were Cathy Poplawsky with 3 for 4 and 1 rbi and Mary Jeap Farrell who went 2 for 3. Team work was the name of the game as e~erybody got into the act against Baptist Bible. The game was played at Kirby, and the ladies showed their opponents no mercy. Karen Johnson again led the way with a 5 for 6 and 5 rbi performance, but she received more than adequate support from the rest of the team . Kim Smith went 5 for 7 with 3 rbi's, Stacy Keeley went 4 for 7, and Cheryl Frystak went 3 for 4 . The first game against Juniata was an official MAC contest and very important to the team. The ladies looked very impressive early on as they exploded for 8 runs in the second inning. the game seemed to be very much in control at this point, but Juniata came back KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER •Boys, students and mens Dickie Work Pants in l Odifferent colors . •largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the volley . •Lorge selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkos , Field Jackets, Pee Coots and Flannel Shirts. 10% DISCOUNT upon presentation of student ID card to score 10 runs of thei.r own in the third. After this outburst the pitching and defense took over, and both teams were held scoreless. The ladies from Wilkes had an opportunity to rally again and perhaps tie the score, but baserunning blunders halted their threat. The ladies were obviously an overall better team than Juniata, but physical and mental errors at key points in the game proved to be their downfall . The big hitter for the team was Cathy Poplawsky who went 4 for 4 with 2 stolen bases. Karen Bove and Carol Hagen each went 2 for 3 with an rbi, Kim Smith went 2 for 4 with an rbi, and Stacy Keeley and Joyce Walsh went 2 for 5 with an rbi apiece. The second game started off well for the team with 4 runs in the first, but this time their bats stayed hot throughout the game. The ladies added 3 in the second, 4 in the fifth, and 5 in the sixth. Leading the way was Karen Bove with 4 for 5 including a homerun and 2 rbi's . Cathy Poplawsky went 2 for 2 with 4 rbi's, Joyce Walsh went 2 for 3 with an rbi, Carol Hagen went 2 for 3 with 2 rbi's, and Kim Smith and Trish Riley each went 2 for 4 with an rbi apiece. FOUL BALLS - The team is beginning to look like General Hospital with injuries to Annie Reilley and Mary Jean Farrell. An.nie fractured her collarbone after making a super shoestring catch in leftfield. Mary Jean is out with a chronic knee injury, and they both will be out indefinitely. The team will sorely miss them. With 7 games played, Cathy Poplawsky leads with a .592 average and is followed by Karen Bove at .526 and Karen Johnson at .517. Joyce Walsh' has 6 hits for extra bases, and Johnson has 17 rbi's. SPORTS NOTICE Tuesday, April 14 is the last day nominations for male and female athlete's of the year will be accepted.

Golf.Team Wins Two by Joy Rubbico In last week's article I told you that this year's Golf Team possesses the potential to improve upon last year's impressive 8-3 record. In this week's short breath of writing space, I will further develop this elaborate picture of tpe team with some interesting facts. Last Wednesday, the team competed in a tri-matchl against opponents Lycoming and Ursinus. Well, the team literally got their feet wet in their season-opener, as heavy rains prevailed. The match was called off after nine holes of play (a match must go the entire eighteen holes in order to count). One golfer commented that he should have been wearing flippers instead of his golf spikes. Out of curiosity, we asked Coach Schmidt how his team stood after the nine holes that were played. He informed us that the Wilkes squad was beating both of their opponents at that point! Nevertheless, the match was cancelled - and will not be rescheduled . On Friday, the squad faced the University of Scranton anct managed a narrow two-stroke victory, 435-437 . Team Captain, Mark Lepore, captured medalist honors firing a six over par 78. Low man for Scranton, was John Garvey with an 82. Other scoring for Wilkes was produced by Chris Reilly - 85, Ray Ward - 87, Joe Rubbico, and Rich Fenninger. Larry Maylock and Jack Cuyler also participated in the match for the Colonels. On Monday, the Blue and Gold boosted its record to 2-0 by defeating Muhlenberg by a 16 stroke margin. Mark Lepore and Joe Rubbico tied for the first place medalist honor of the match, while Chris Reilly, Bob Bruggeworth, and Ray Ward all aided in the victory. Larry Maylock and Jim Kachidur(an also participated. The team took its 2-0 record into a tri-match with Upsala and Scranton yesterday. Tune in to next week's article for more details! Record At 0-3-------------------- lnexperience Costs Sticlanen by David Capin This past week the inexperience of the Wilkes Lacrosse team took its toll as the stickmen dropped two non-conference -decisions. On Wednesday the Blue and Gold of Coach Pete Canine traveled to Carlisle, Pa. hoping to break into the win column against Dickinson college, but dropped a hard £aught 9-5 decision. As far as Saturday's game goes an old saying seems to sum up the Lacrosse team's ex~ periences - "when it rains it poars". This is what happened against Division I power Lehigh University as the Engineers drubbed the Colonels 28-5 in Bethlehem. In Wednesdays 9-5 loss to Dicinson, Rich Modica tallied 2 goals and had 2 assists, Eric Farber had 2 goals, and Defenseman Larry Buffalow got into the act as he tallied I goal.. On the defensive unitmidfielders Mike Feagan, Carl Lindhorst, and John Phillips turned in outstanding performances. On Saturday afternoon the stickmen found themselves behind 23-1 at half time against the Engineers of Lehigh University. It should be noted that Lehigh is a strong Division I and Wilkes as a Division III team has no business being on the same field as Lehigh, however, in the second half Coach Ca~ine instituted a Zone defense (not common in Lacrosse) and this held Lehigh to only 5 goals in the second half as the Colonels tallied 4. But the damage was already t t., I II I done and the Colonels found themselves on the shortside of a lopsided 28-5 decision. There were some positive signs during Saturdays game as attackmen Charles Furgeson, and Randy Kotzer along with Midfielders Phil Abramson, John McCarthy, Dan Talenti and John Stachacz all showed ability to.handle the ball and set up players for scores. It should be noted that all of the above mentioned players are new to the game of Lacrosse and have been showing marked improvement thus far. Although Saturdays game was no contest 3 Colonels managed to score to help the Wilkes cause. Damien Papariello tallied 2 goals and had 2 assists, Tracy Cloth had 2 goals, and Jeff Harper had 1 goal. On the season thus far Paul Szxzepanski is doing a fine job as goalie and is exceptional in clearing the ball. Larry Buffaloe has been leading the defense and has been doing a fine job. Dave Szczepanski, Gary Macko, Bill Burnhardt and last but not least Terry Casey are all doing fine jobs as first year players.

Earlier in the week, the Colonels home opener was spoiled when the .Royals of Scranton defeated the Blue and Gold by scores of 7-6 and 11-2. In the opening game against Scranton, the Colonels girre the Royals five runs in the top of the first inning by way of two errors and a three-run homer. The Blue and Gold started their come back in the bottom of the same inning when shortstop Joe Malatesta led off with a single. Cocaptain Chick Andrewscavage cut the Royals lead to 5-2 when he blasted a home run over the centerfield fence. The Colonels added a run in the third inning when centerfielder Mark Belenski homered to make the score 5-3. Wilkes finally took a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when junior Dale Englehart blasted a three-run homer. The lead w~ short lived as Royal hitters came on in the fifth inning to break a steady pitching performance by senior Jim Kearney and notch the win for Scranton. The Royals used the same "quick-. lead" approach in the night-cap a~ they went on to down the Colonel! 11-2. Wilkes gathered their onl)two runs of the game on RBl singles by Dale Englehart and Ken Rodick. The Colonels picked up their first two MAC Conference wins this past weekend against no defeats when they took a doubleheader off of Susquehanna University. _In the opening game, BEACON sports staffer Chris DaRe connnected on an RBI single and hitting star of the day, Chick Andrewscavage, added two more RBl's as the Blue and Gold jumped to a 3-2 lead after three innings. After Susquehanna picked up . a run to tie the game at 3-3, the fifth inning saw Andrewscavage and senior Ken Rodick hit back to back homers to give the Blue and Gold a 5-3 lead. Rodick blasted his second homer of the game in the sixth inning to give the Wilkes' diamondmen a 6-4 victory. ?M.Utkk4 W.ttt _, Junior Tony Vlahovic picked up the win in the first game in relief of starting pitcher Jim Kearney. Vlahovic struck out four batters and walked none, while Kearney struck out five batters and gave fre~ passes to four . Sophomore Bob Miller turned in another fantastic performance in picking up the win in the_nightcap and holding the Susquehanna team to only one run as the Colonels dropped the home squad 6-1. Throwing 68 pitches in seven innings of work, Miller struck out three while walking two. Rich Geffert nailed a towering home run in the fifth inning with one man aboatd to break a scoreless tie and give the Colonels a 2-0 lead.

N et1D8D Defeat Juniata, Kiqg's by Marie James As the saying goes, "when you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not." In applying the old adage to thk ls.Ne's Athelete of the Week, Cathy Poplawsky, the best daignosis would be a typical symptom of 'baseball fever.' In four games last week, the Colonelette third-ba!ewoman batted an amazing .773, an average hig_h enough to make any opposing team want to take two aspirin and · get plenty of rest. A nursing mlfor ·• formally from Bishop O'Hara high schoo•, -eathy has been giving other teams tough treatment all season. So far this year, she's been 16 for 27 at the plate, which gives her an impr~ive .592 season batting average. In all, she's scored eight runs in addition to ·batting in .eleven more. Cathy spent the beginning of the season at second -base, but last week made a transition to third. Because of the switch, she did suffer a slight set- . back. As Coach Nancy Roberts ointed e>ut, . ..she onl . made two erron, the only two this year." In the Misericordia operation, Cathy had one hit, but it was a triple, enough to make Misery sick. She knocked in one run with that shot. She also helped give Baptist Bible its last rights, preying on the opposition's pitchers with two hits and three runs batted in. In the Juniata case, a doubleheader, Cathy had a very healthy dl!f with a 6 for 6 outing. In game one, she stole two bases and hit -safely fn each of four at bats. During the second game, she had two hlt3 fn as many chances, making four runs score. One of the hits was was a triple. Coach Roberts' prognosis: "Cathy has worked hard on her hitting. Hopefully her excellent attitude and consistant hitting will remain aH The Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate Cathy for her outstanding performance last week. We prescribe the same dosage of hits for the rest of the season. It's just what the doctor ordered. season." by Mad: James They started stgrong, sputtered and faultered, and then? We don't know . Confused? Read on. Because the latest news about the Wilkes' tennis team was not printed last week, the newer news is that the racketeers are at 2 and 2 for the season, but actually they aren't. Still confused, right? Maybe a season review would help. The Colonels began the season at home against Juniata and won, 5-4. It was close, but the &mbtes team of Manoski and Swirbel came through in the final match after Buchsbaum won a close singles match with a 5-4 tiebreaker win . In the second game of the season, Wilkes came off on top again, beating Kings, 6-3. The competition seemed tough at first, but by the end of the match, the Colonels proved superior. So much for the strong start. With a 2-0 rec0rd, the Netmen took on a tough Elizabetht~wn team and lost, unfortunately, 7-2. Six singles matches and three doubles matches ~re played in the fteam compethion, with each match accounting for one point. The team to win five matches wins, but E-town made sure, by losing only two. The individual winners for Wilkes were Dave Battie, and Jim Watkinson . The Colonel's record evened out to two apiece after a 5-1 loss against Ursinus (not to be confused with the planet, Uranus, the seventh stone from the sun). How did Ursinus win 5-1 when nine matches were to be played? The ··three doebles matches, which are played last, were not lost in space, they were rained out. In fact, the last sinles match played determined whether or not the team competition was to count in the first place. This calls for some explaining. When the rain started, only one of the six singles matches was still in progress. The match, with Wilkes' Bob Buchsbaum against Ursinus' Jesperson, was moved indoors. If Buchsbaum won, the entire competition would have meant nothing, it would have been postponed. In the finai "volley 1n the final tiebrea\:er game in the final set, Buchsbaum answered a shot by the other guy. The ,ball hit the top of the net, it could have bounced either way, but tough luck for 'Buch', the ball bounced back. Wilkes lost. Coach Rokita explained that the Colonels had beaten two average teams before losing to two good teams, but the two important matches of the season were played after press time, but before today. NET NOTES: Tuesday's Scranton match and Thursday's Susquehanna match. results were not available, but if you go to the Baptist Bible match tomorrow at one o'clock at Ralston Field, jusf ask someone what happened .

Capin, effective May 29. Giordano had taken over the position in January after the form er director, Richard Raspen, was appointed as Alum ni Director. According to President Capin, Giordano resigned because "she felt that the work was't rewarding for her" and coufdn't see herself doing the work over a long period of time. Capin continued that, although he was disappointed in her resignation , he fully understood her decision. He com mented, "Her interest lies in teaching. Everybody has to choose what they want to do in life." Donna Nitka, another newcomer, is a freshman biology major from Kelayres, Pa . She will be next year's Assistant News Editor and has written news this, year as a reporter for the Beacon. Because the selection committee found both applicants of equal . ability, Mark James and Ellen Van · Riper will serve as Co-Sports Editors. Both Mark and Ellen have covered several sports this year while serving as sports writers. Michele Serafin, this year's Advertising Manager, will take over the duties of Business Manager .. Michele is an- accounf- · ing major from Dupont. The position of Advertising · Manager will be held by Lorraine Koch.

John Stevens, Martin · Napersteck, Dr. Norma Schulman, Dr . Robert Freysinger, Dr. Brad Kinney, Louis Czachor, this year's Managing Editor, Dr. Thomas Kaska, Dean Jane Lampe and Patti Sparlow, this year's editor-inchief. Giordano was named to the position because she had a business education background and seemed to fit the job. Before that, she had been a business education teacher . Giordano commented, "I _miss the classroom - the contacts with the students." She further stated that she is not certain what she will be doing in the future, but she will not continue on at the college . Giordano said that she would like to continue work on her doctorate, with the possibility of getting a job teaching closer to Temple where she is pursuing that goal. The college is presently in the process of finding someone to fill the position of Financial Aid Director.

"The Wilkes College Debate Union has now been recognized with a proclamation from Mayor Mclaughlin, Wilkes-Barre City Council and Luzerne County Commissioners. We were also notified that on March 31, a proclamation was . read in an open ~ion of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives." Kinney noted that this was the first time in the 34 years of existence that the Union was recognized by the state house. He commented that he is very impressed with this award. The proclamation by Mayor McLaughlin was given because of the recognition they brought to the city. "I am pleased that the State House would recognize us . I think it's one of the nicest honors given to Wilkes. It shows that the program not only serves the college, but also the community. Apparently, from this document, we serve the state also. " Collen Gries, President of the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of Phi Kappa Delta, commented, "It is interesting to note that the Debate Union has now been recognized by the Mayor of the city of WilkesBarre, Wilkes-Barre City Council, SG Badget Discass~d by Louis Czachor The Student Government 198182 budget was a major topic C't conversation at the SC meetin1 the past two Monday nights. According to a proposed budget the Amnicola would not receive the full amount its staff had requested although it would get more than last year. This forms the largest part of the budget which would total $97,000 . Under the terms of the proposed budget most other groups would get as much or slightly less than last year's funding . . It was noted that by increasing the student activities fee by one dollar the Amnicola could get as much as they requested . The representatives were instructed to ask their fellow students how they would feel about a one dollar increase. Loretta Martin commented that people are alread y upset about the tuition increases and they would prefer that any other increases be kept at a minimum . Dana Shaffer added that everyone he talked to was opposed to any increases . Marla Brodsky noted that some were in favo r of an increase if it will benefit the students, while others wondered what all their money was used for now, and yet others said the activities fee is fine the way it is . SG president Ana Nunez asked the body for a vote of confidence as to whether or not an increase should be considered . A motion was made to proceed in drafting a budget which will include a $50 student activities fee. All but two of the representatives were in favo r of this pr_oposal. The budget will be discussed again at next week's meeting. In other business, a vote of confidence was given last week to a statement on student righ ts. Former SG president Joe Galli presented it to the Student Affairs Council of the Board of Trustees la~t Tuesday. The student rights will be discussed and evaluated . Ana Nunez announced that a decision has been made concerning ~he appointment of a parliamen:arian for SC for next year. Rob Doty will fill that position. Regarding the film committee, Elaine Kerchusky reported that $25 was collected from the showing of "Jesus Christ Superstar. " She also noted that the fil m this week' will be shown this Sunday, April 26 at 9 :00 p.m . in SLC 101. 'fhe movie will be "A Little Rom;rnce." Under other news, Chris Lain announced that there wili be a Walk-A-Thon fo r the March of Dimes this Sunday beginning at 10:00 a .m. on the square. She urged everyone to take part. Also, Dean Hoover requested that anyone interested in working as an usher fo r commencement on Sunday, May 18 should let him know. Interested parties are asked to write their name, address, and phone number on a three by five card and leave it at his office. Under fund requests last week the Biological Society was granted $123 fo r their end of the year gettogether . The Strutters were also given $225 for the purchase of five new uniforms. Both requests passed unanimo usly. Additionally, $1129 was given to IRHC by a vote of 14-3-1. It will be used to send about 15 people to a conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls. Last week the veteran's club requested $475 to attend a softball tournament, but no representative of the club showed up to give a second reading of the request this week. Also, this week a request was made by the wrestling club for $50040 help run a boxing ring on Tuesday, April 28 at 8 :00 p.m . Money raised by the event will benefit the George Elliot Scholarship fund . It will be sponsored by the Political Science Club. The last SC meeting of the yea r will be held next Monday at 6 :30 pm. in Weckesser Hall. SG's annual summer meeting has been scheduled for the weekend of July 17. Luzerne County Commissioners and even by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, but our own school has not recognized or supported the accomplishments and efforts of the Debate Union. In the course of eight years, the Debate Union has won a total of 397 awards with 22 consecutive victories. Kinney also stated that they are ranked eleventh in the nation and have the reputation on the debate circut of being a welldisciplined team . "In fact, " Kinney commented, "other coaches expect to see Wilkes in the top three. " Fred Deets, Captain of the Debate Union, commented, "We are proud of the fact that we are the most award-winning organization on campus. " Would You Believe ... A "steal estate" caper? It all started when police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, picked up a pair of alleged burglars. A man and woman responded to a "house for sale" ad at the home of a Tulsa woman . They toured the house and left, and the woman noticed that some jewelry and cash had also left with them . So, she spent three hours on the phone with others who had their houses up for sale. The next day, a couple matching the description showed up at another Tulsa home, which had been on the phone-call list. Police were notified, and minutes later the suspects were in custody reportedly with some stolen jewelry in hand . And then there's the burglar who slipped through the window of a Salt Lake City courtroom early one morning. He climbed back out wiht some cash and two electric typewriters. However, he did leave a sort of payment behind: instructions on how to make the courtroom burglar-proof. (Obtained through WCLH and Associated Press Teletype.) AR t.~ i 6.

The IRHC Executive Council awarded residence halls and students for outsta_nding work with IRHC. They selected Sterling Hall and the Hotel Men as Outstanding Residence Halls for their exceptional participation in IRHC . Also, Bruce .Williams and Marge LeBalnc were chosen Outstapding IRHC Representatives for the year. President Janine Tucker and the executive council deserve congratulations for the many changes, co·ntributions, and activities they sponsored and promoted over the paS t year. by Doug Fahringer about the unauthorized persons eating meals that board students pay for. In response to the recent water shortage, IRHC offered a suggestion to the dining service. The suggestion was to use paper materials for breakfast. This method, still in use, was a student suggestion at one of the food committee meetings. IRHC also sponsored a Fifties Sock Hop and cosponsored, with Commuter Council, the Valentine's Party and the St. Patrick's party both of which were very successful. In addition to these events, IRHC devised a Residence Hall Survey for all residence hall students . This survey was made in order to receive feedback from the students of their opinions on the desirable and undesirable features of the residence halls . The organization also adopted a new proposed IRHC constitution. The by John Finn This semester Commuter Council made significant progress in several areas that have benefited the entire college community, and at the same time have provided a strong foundation on which next year's Council can build. Under the leadership of President Bill Miller, and with the aid of a strong executive council and an effective committee system, problems were side-stepped or solved skill fully and innovatively.

The Social Committee's decision in January to jointly sponsor major events with the IRHC is one of the innovations which will insue future interaction between the two groups. The college administration's decision to move the CC office from W eckesser to the Student Center tested the Council's ability to handle those little, unexpected problems in life. Although at first the plan was strongly opposed, when the relocation actually took place in late February the Council began to realize that the benefits a c tuall y outweig hed the drawbacks. The new office plac,es the Council closer to their constituency, and right on top, so to speak, of events in the student center itself. Also, if long range plans are realized, eventually the student center will bring SC and an office of IRHC under the same roof, together with other organiza- 825-5037 •~--------- tions on campus, thereby creating a true Student Union building. Other benefits were the new office rug, and as one member put it, "In Weckesser, you couldn't run downstairs for a doughnut." The appointment of a chairman for the newly formed Apartment Committee will be an important decision for next year's CC president. The Apartment Committee ·was created this semester when Bill Miller realized that Wilkes was lacking any type of organization that would represent apartment dwellers, who are commuters. This committee will need strong leadership in order to establish the group and insure its survival, but equally vital will be the participation of students who are living in, or looking for, an apartment. The committee will post updated listings of apartments available in the area, but more importantly it will provide students with the opportunity to share their experiences about apartment life and other advice to others.

It is a strange feeling - almost like a rebirth. I should know. I am one of those people. At first, I viewed this reassumed responsibility as a curse, for I was looking forward to a sort of R & R, while someone else handled all the headaches, worries and gripes. As the semester progressed, I realized how fortunate I was to have this second opportun!ty. The Beacon Staff had a chance to really unify our efforts by building on our first semester's mistakes. Except for a few instances, there was a real sense of teamwork on the staff this semester, that was absent the first semester. Everyone pulled together and produced what I believe to be a series of very good publications: . Throughout this year, we have tried to maintain a serious outlook on the campus - for rarely is news humorous. We also tried to keep a consistent editorial policy of fairness, right to critize and objectivity. In addition to these, the secon_d semester we changed the look of the Beacon doing a~ay with a cover picture. This semester has been a milestone for everyone on the staff. We have survived severe staff rearrangements, equipment breakdowns at the most inopportune moments, a shortage of news and money, and almost any other kind of afflication one can imagine. But we made it. The 1980-1981 Beacon editorial staff can be proud of itself, for I don't believe that there has ever been such a tumultuous year for the Beacon in college history. Hopefully, this attitude of accomplishment and survival will carry into next year - making for an even bigger and better Beacon. Next year;s staff is very capable and I feel comfortable knowing that the Beacon is in safe hands. The editors are bright people - an overall top-notch crew. The Beacon will benefit from experience in the news and sports departments, talent and creativity in features~ overwhelming competence in the business department, and CC's loss was the copy department's gain. All together they should be great. Now that next year's staff is settled (well almost), it is time for us soon-to-be-alumni to plan our lives after graduation. (Is there life after Wilkes?) Someone once asked me where ex-Beacon editors went after graduation . While I was tempted to say "Damnation in the eternal fire," I resisted and tried to remember the alumni editors that I'd known. I realized then that if precedence has any value, I'll be proud to follow in the footsteps of those who have served as Beacon editor-in-chief before me . As for the negative elements of being a Beacon editor, there were many . However, Mother always told me, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all ." For once I will listen to her and remain silent. Besides there isn't that much room on this page. Finally, thanks to all those who helped me this past through the daily Beacon trauma'.s this past year - you know who you are . And to those of you who didn't help, but only .tried to hurt in any way you could, I will apply Mother's philosophy and say nothing, for you know who you are, too. To the class of 1981, Good Luck! See you on the 17th. With this last issue of the academic year, Patti Sparlow, a senior communications major, officially ends her two-semester term as Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon. Knox Thanks Fellow Commuters; Asks For Student Involvement To the commuting students of Wilkes College: First, I would like to thank everyone who supported me in my bid for Commuter Council President. The memories of a long, hard campaign, meeting and talking to many _fellow-commuters, pledging to promote various commuter interests, and the sweet thrill of victory (especially the victory party!! ) will stay with me forever. Words can not accurately describe my gratitude for your confidence in me. Second, I would like to thank my opponent, Amy Elias, for an exciting race. Together, we have achieved a victory in picking up interest in Commuter Council, as evident in the record-setting voter turnout for the election. We can now cultivate that interest to make the upcoming year one of the most fruitful years ever for commuters. Third, I pledge my devotion to the commuters of Wilkes College. Together, we will make a difference, and let me assure you, that difference will be felt! There is one catch, however: I need your involvement! I If we are going to im•prove the quality of campus life for commuters, we must get commuters involved on campus . Commuter Council will provide the potential, but we will all have to pull together to realize that poten- tial. I am looking forward to a successful year. Finally, I would like to wish you all a great summer! To the graduating class of '81, we've enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best of luck. To those of us who will be returning in the fall, get plenty of rest over the summer because you are going to need it! Yours, Joe Knox C. C.

LETTERS Chairman Gries Reuiews Purpose Of C&F Board To the Editor: An open letter to all majors of the Commerce and Finance Department: Last September, Dr. Howard Williams, Chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department, asked me to institute a committee to act as a liaison between the fac ulty and all majors of the Commerce and Finance Department. With the aid of Norm Witko, this committee was form ed . Since its inception, the Commerce and Finance Department's Student Advisory Board has handled a number of comments ranging from course wo rk, faculty member's policies toward testing, the department's re-evaluation on their policy regarding Co-Op to maintenance complaints about Parrish "Hall. The Committee has also laid the pathwork for a Business Internship program . Under the direction of Rosie Codora, Joe Chmiola, and John Cooney, this program should start to get off the ground next fall. In order to determine the strengths and weakneses of the Commerce and Finance Department, the Student Advisory-Boad, under co-chairman Norm Witko, polled alumni as to their feelings on courses, overall faculty, and a • liberal arts education. As underclassmen, why not stop in the Commerce and Finance office and look over this report. Perhaps with this foresight, you will be able to help your future career goals by using alumni guidance. . Nothing is successful without the enthusiasm and dedication of its members - and this committee 'is no exception. As chairman, I would like to thank Norm Witko,. who filled in as chairman during my 8-week Accounting Internship, and the committee members Maggie McKeown, Molly Sammon, Betty DeCosmo, Kirk Foreman, Martha Mazzitelli. Karen Shinn, Bill Koscenski and Jon Pliskin . Next year's committee will be only as successful as you make it. Watch for posters regarding membership and meetings. If you have a comment and want to remain anonymous, just speak to a committee member or next year's co-chairpersons Maggie McKeown and Molly Sam mon. The Committee personally guarantees that if requested, your name won't be brought up .

As the head coach, and former player, of the lacrosse team , I would like to take this opportunity to support the team and offer arguments why the college should maintain the program. I have played lacrosse for Wilkes for two years and have coached for one year now . In that three years, I never once saw anyone from Weckesser Hall in attendance at our games, to include President Capin and Dean Hartdagen . It is beyond me how someone who does not even follow or support an athletic team can be in a position to decide if it should continue. The lacrosse team is a tradition at Wilkes. It is on of the few teams that has had a winning season every year since its formation. Recently, the administration expressed a desire to become an Ivy League school. I wonder if they know that every school in the Ivy League has a varsity lacrosse team, and that they are one of the major programs. Because our lacrosse team cannot give scholarships, lit is apparent that the players keep coming out because they love the sport and they support the college. As with evert team, the lacrosse team is a closely knit bunch of guys. It is obvious that they want the program to continue, for if they didn't I would not be writing this article. But enough of the intangibles. Let's get down to facts. When my assistant coach, Bill Abrams, and I heard rumors that this might be our last season, we went straight to the horse's mouth . On Wednesday the 15th, we met with President Capin. To begin with, Mr. Capin did not even know who we were . Sure, he knew we were the coach- SENIOR WEEK SCHEDULE EVENT PLACE TIME MAY13 Wednesday Dinner-Dance Woodlands Inn 6:30 p.m. Wilkes-Barre Members of the Class of 1981 attend the Dinner-Dance as guests of th,e college and must obtairi their tickets at the bookstore before May 11.

Is the administration also willing to risk the contributions and influence of these alumni? The athletic department claims they cannot find a full-time coach. Wrong. Bill Abrams has his M .B.A. , is eligible to be a faculty member/coach, and has vividly expressed this to both President Capin and Mr. Reese. Available coaching is not the problem . Administrative apathy and insensitivity is. There are currently petitions in circulation which each student and faculty we have approached have signed. I feel it is safe to say that if the decision to cut the lacrosse program is made, that the entire student body will loose its respect for the administration and athletic department . I have said all I can in defense of the lacrosse team . Careful research will revewl that this evidence is sufficient, and that it is in the best interest of the college to let the program continue. In closing, I would like to say that our last home game of the season is this Saturday at 2:00 . I urge the student body to please come out and support your team . Additionally, since there is no school on Saturday, I see no reason why the entire staff at Weckesser Hall cannot attend this game . If you do not, then your reasoning to discontinue the program is ridiculous and you must not care. Lacrosse is a great sport, and the players on my team have a hell of a lot of character and dedication. They deserve to be allowed to continue . Peter M.

He did not know whether we were graduates or undergraduates, or what our majors were. One would think that the President of a college would be a little more familiar with the college's staff. He then 'proceeded to talk generalities and explain that evaluating athletic and academic programs is an - ongoing process, and that we should not be surprised. So let's talk Weckesser Hall language - let's talk dollars and cents . The salaries for the lacrosse coaches total $1050.00. We received $110.00 gas and food for each of our 6 away games. About $300.00 was spent on new equipment. So we'll be generous and say that the school spent $2300.00 this year for lacrosse. Next year our returning players will contribute $111,200.00 in tuition, room and .board to Wilkes . In addition, at least 10 students have expressed to me that they plan to participate next year . Furthermore, we will doubtless get incoming freshmen and transfers to play, as we do each year. I myself was a transfer student, coming here knowing that Wilkes had a lacrosse team. It seems rather ridiculous that President Capin and Dean Hartdagen want to sacrifice this $111 ,200.00 · plus, for the $2300.00 a year it takes to run the team . I can personally guarantee that if there is no lacrosse program at Wilkes, every one of my players willl consider transfer, and Wilkes will loose this money! They will also loose potential players.

Sibiya A recent bill sponsored by the Third World nations in the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization calls for a radical change in the reporting and newspaper world. The sponsors of the resolution want reporters on foreign assignments to be issued with cards which will allow them to do their work but which can be withdrawn if it is felt that their reporting is unethical, overly biased, or slanderous. The Third World nations concerned are aggravated by many aspects of in t ernational, particularly Western, reporting of Third World news. A survey conducted by a group concerned with the just and ethical dissemination of news and unbiased reporting recently reveled that most stories on the Third World which appear in Western news media are on negative things - Idi Amin, Emperor Bokassa, Muammar Qaddafi, Indira Gandhi's sterilization programme, Pakistan's corporal punishment of those guilty of imm orality, famines, wars and massacres. The same group reports that proWestern dictators enjoy cozy image protection, while uncouth deeds perpetrated by pro-Western nations get no more than a few vague lines, as in the case of Reza Pahlavi, Anastasio Somoza, the El Salvadotian junta, Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, South Africa, Zaire have adequately and still do, demonstrate. A prominent American newspaper editor approached by a major newspaper on this iss econceded that the Third World has a strong case in this matter. Offering an explanation for the lopsided reporting, he said · that this is the kind of news people want to read; that the media would go bankrupt if all that was printed were positive . The same person was however opposed to the resolution Plant a Seed for your Future at 1 0 H V 8 V SUNY-BINGHAMTON 8 V .L Summer Session 1981 sponsored b-y the Third World on grounds that it could be used to erode the freedom of the press and give dictators and other political undesirables protection from expo-_ sure. The Third World view on this is different. A Jamaican government official attributes this to ethnocentricity, historical arrogance and the adage that if it sells it is right. Still another Third World intellectual, this time a psychologist, attributes it to the fact that any group always wants to feel better than another, and what better way is there to do it than throui h the news media? Wherever this case will end, it is generally true that most stories on Third World nations which one sees in the Western press are of a highly undesirable nature. To print constantly negative stodes is in itself not wrong, but to use it as a means to a morally questionable end is totally unjustifiable. Freedom of the press, like any other freedom, is granted on condition that such freedom will not be used to undermine the happiness, security and freedom of others. When any freedom exceeds its limits then it has to be curbed, and this is precisely what the press is doing in certain areas of the world . ..

The prim Miss Prism was portrayed by Diane Hartdagen, and the Reverend Canon Chasuble, D.D ., was played by Stephen DiRocco. These humorous roles were enhanced by the hilarious gestures and voices of .the supposedly proper characters. And last but not least were the butlers portrayed by Ahamd Pini_,:,11 , Fran k Kren, and ':~illiam Mondlak . . Their performances rounded Oil_~ 'cne comedy with their cow.~al seriousness. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a play of mistaken identity. It is difficult to understand for those who have not read the paly prior to seeing it; in general, however, the wit and puns were clearly noticed, which enabled the outcome of the comedy to be quite favorable. It It § ,.Q > , . b ' > ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ , Q > ~ "Get out of my way! Son of a ... What are you, crazy! They're nuts ... they're all nuts! I don't believe this. C'monl" Sound familiar? If so you're probably familiar with that favorite pastime and necessity we all know, love and hate by the word 'driving.' Prompted by columnist Amy Elias' utterly amusing portrayal of the rigors of mass transit commuting (Beacon, March 20), this writer has no choice but to respond to her assertion that a car would be the ultimate solution to the problem of commuting. Unless you are an avid 'people watcher, " riding a bus to and from school is not a particularly enjoyable event. However, it is not a good idea to elevate the convenience of diring to a point nearing nirvana (which she kind of almost pointed out). It must be asserted here that driving to school is no picnic; and at times it can be sheer agony. Besides, ins't driving under the influence of nirvana against the law anyhow? Mentioned in the column in question is an old man with a Rocky Racoon style World~War-I flying cap. What was not mentioned was the fact that this man drives a car. When he isn't standing around Public Square waiting for young college women to get their heels caught in storm sewer gratings, he has other devious things to do. This fellow gets into his car and waits along side streets intersecting with River Road, until about five minutes before the hour. Like a panther ready to stalk it's prey, he waits for an onrushing automobile. At the precise second, he idles his way onto the main thorough-fare just in time to make the approaching car go from 60. to five miles per hour in 4.7 seconds. The man continues on his way to Wilkes-Barre at approximately 20 miles an hour - in a no passing zone! Some students, in a desperate attempt to get to class on time, may even go so far to pass the slower driver. Usually, the slow one will not speed up, unless there's a huge tractor trailer quickly approaching in the opposite direction. If the slower vehicle is passed successfully, that means it is time for the elderly woman a few seconds down the road to decide that it is safe to cross the street. Ten minutes later, she makes it to the curb, turns around and snarles a mean-puss face expression at all the automobiles. This is just a start . ·. . · The aggrivation of driving is so great, it is impossible to completely document everything involved. There are hitch-hikers that look like exconvicts; they usually stand in the middle of the road around blind curves. The female hitch-hikers are usually·ugly - nobody wants to pick them up, but it could still ruin a guy's day just seeing them . Some of the other problems include pot holes, batteries, transmission failures, and the price of gasoline. Do you know how is feels to say, "fill 'er up" only to meekly ask the gas station attendent to stop at 25 dollars? It's even worse if you find out the next day that the gas tank or fuel line is leaking. There are traffic lights, st::;p ~! 5:1;, ~i::fi: hand turns, and the officer in front of the courthouse who always waits until you are next before he stops traffic. What about the people that come zipping down side streets and do not seem to want to stop? Gads! If they do stop, there is usually less than five feet clearance between their car's bumper and the road hog approaching in the opposite direction. Don't forget the dude in front of you who suddenly decides he wants to make a turn the split second someone on the sidewalk catches your attention. Blinkers? What are blinkers? A couple more interesting items auto-commuters have to contend with include the still sleeping driver who waits until the traffic light has been green a while before proceeding on to ,the next traffic jam. It is always "gobs of fun " being in the sixth car when the light turns red after the fifth. Don't forget thouse double parkers, construction sites, or just plain impossible situations. Don't you just love the people who try to, or won't let you, pull into the Parrish Hall parking lot? Speaking of parking lots, isn't it always amusing to think that the majority of available parking sp;.,:es Dn campus are reserved for faculty, staff and administration? For the people who are allowed to park on campus, isn't it a real 'rib-tickler' to find out an illegally parked '67 Plymouth. had just tak_t~in the last two available spaces? We could build a beautiful new d~';matory, but we can't even afford to build a new p'arking lot.~Ca,~,'i: someone arrange to have a few more neglected sites torn do_wn_? .tfoough is enough. ft should be crystal clear by now that driving to school, or anywhere for that matter, is not only expensive, but quite annoying. After getting a space in the sixth level of the parcade, most drivers have to take the zigzag journey through alleys, other parking lots and people's back yards only to see "keep off the grass" signs where trails should be accepted - or even paved. The bottom line is that commuting to school at times is a real pain in the neck. But for many commuters, the choice to go to school locally is representative at least in part by a decision to stay in the area for a few more years at least. The other choice for local students would be to leave immediately, a migration common in these parts for many years. With all its setbacks, ~his writer does not mind the idea of staying home, even if it does become frustrating to commute each day. Besides, moving away from home and living in a dorm isn't exactly a bowl of cherries. Right? �Page 8, The Beacon, April 2 4, 1981 For Erin Callahan we make everyday St. Patrick's Day .

You can also accumulate up to $8100 for future civilian education by participating in the Veteran's Educational Assistance Program. The Army also offers traning in medicine, inteligence, electronics, computer programming, and many other areas that may be· related to your field of study.

An Equal Opportunity Employer �Page IO, The Beacon, April 2'4. 1981 DNLY IHE ARMY GIVES YOU TWO WAYS TO LOWER THE COST OF EDUCATION IN JUST TWO YEARS. LOAN FORGIVENESS If you have a Guaranteed Student Loan or a National Direct Student Loan (made after October 1, 1975) hanging over your head, consider spending a couple of years in the Army. If you train for certain specialties, the government will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness (or $1,500, whichever is greater) for each year of active duty. Obviously, a three-year enlistment would eliminate 100% of your indebtedness. But you may prefer to take a shorter route and sign up under the Army's two-year enlistment option (and put 2/3 of your debt behind you). Or you might want to join the Army Reserve. If you qualify, as a Rese11rist you can stay home, get paid for your active duty, and receive 15% loan forgiveness (or $500, whichever is greater) for each year you serve. But we're not just offering you loan forgiveness. With your education, you can probably qualify for a higher rank and pay grade. You'll have your choice of many sophisticated Army skills. And you may be eligible for generous monetary educational incentives. 1WO-FOR-ONE SAVINGS PLAN If your dream is to continue your education some day, joining the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program can bring that day closer. In fact, in just two years you can accumulate up to $9,200 for grad school. (Only the Army can offer you a twoyear enlistment.) · It's not a loan, so you'll never have to worry about making payments.

Nelligan Discusses Financial Aid by John Finn On Sunday, April 12, United States Congressman James Nelligan visited Wilkes_ and discussed his views on college financial aid and the Reagan administration's proposed cuts in those programs. Nelligan was invited to the campus in order to give students the opportunity to voice their concerns about the possible effects of the reductions on them as individuals, but only eleven students attended. Rich Myers, director of COPUS, the group which extended the invitation to Nelligan, expre!.sed his disappointment with the poor turnout. Myers stated . "Congressman Nelligan is a supporter of the President's proposed budget cuts in college financial aid programs and we wanted to show him that students in his own district feel very differently and that these cuts spell potential disaster for many students and institutions across the country." · Mr. Nelligan gave an informal talk to the small group of students and answered many of their ques- tions. "I am very aware, thanks to students like yourselves, of the impact the cuts will have on private universities," Nelligan said. He believes that the gap which will be created by the loss of Federal grants will have to be filled by the . student, the family or a combination of both . · Mr. Nelligan said that the impact on private schools will not be as severe as is being predicted by many people, and that if it becomes necessary, "families will tighten their belts and students will get out there and work." In order to explain his feelings about the role of Federal funding for higher education, Nelligan rhetorically asked, "are people entitled to an education, ot should they have to work for it?" The Congressman, elected last fall , added, "In my campaign, I talked about making the transition from a federal based economy to a private industry based econom y. We have, in this country, become too dependent and reliant on Federally funded social programs." Nelligan concluded by pointing KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER •Boys , students and mens Dickie Work Pants in l Odifferent colors. •Largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the valley . •Large selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkas , Field Jackets, Pee Coats and Flannel Shirts. out that "none of the education programs are going to be eliminated, but all of them are going to be cut somewhat."

The food will be prepared by the students under the direction of their professor, Dr. Hilda Marban. The menu will consist of chicken in "escabeche" sauce, a Spanish omelet, spinach pie, toss salad, and for dessert, "flan" with caramel sauce. In additio n, sangria and Cuban coffee will be served.

Koviack On March 27, 28 and 29, twelve members of the college Circle K Club attended the Annual Pennsylvania District Circle K Convention which was held in New Kensington, Pa . The' Circle K was presented with four club awards for their various service projects done throughout the year. The Circle K received the first place Inter-Club Award, granted for a service project done jointly with another Kiwanis Club or Circle K Club . The club also brought back a first place Achievement Award. That overall award was presented for the service projects done by the club this past year. 17 Faculty Members Not To Return In Fall by Andrea Hincken Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen recently commented that the turnover this year in faculty · and administration is fairly normal. At this date no administrators are leaving the staff, but there are instructors from five departments who will be leaving at the end of this semester. Madeline Carlin, assistant professor of accounting, is leaving. Also, Louis Gettinger, assistant professor of accounting, is retiring. Also retiring is Alex Pawlenok, associate professor of accounting. Other staff members of leaving in the fall are Berenice D'V orzon, associate professor of art, ·who will be on leave for one year, and Timothy Cain, who is an instruc-tor of English. John Hardie, also an instructor of English, will be leaving this semester. The most changes in staff this year are in the nursing department. Mary Christine Alichine, assistant professor of nursing, and Jean Berri, assistant professor of nursing, are leaving. Also leaving is Eva Schuler, associate professor of nursing. This year Ruth McHenry professor of nursing will be retiring, and Elaine Slabinski, assistant professor of nursing, will be taking a one year leave of absence. Andrea Favareau, assistant professor of nursing, and Elizabeth Rariz, assistant professor of nursing, left the staff in the fall semester of this year. Lester Turozi, associate professor of biology, will be taking a sabbatical leave next fall. Edwin Jahngen, assistant professor of chemistry, will take a one year leave of absence. Owen Faut, professor of chemistry, is taking a one year leave of absence. Stanley Holden, professor of physics, will take his second-year leave of absence next year. Dean Hartdagen mentioned that every year some turnover' is expected, as many contracts are only signed for a year. f'lfl Siflrflll r.lllJSfl 10% DISCOUNT upon presentation of student ID card until 4/ 30/ 81 . • Store Hours: 9:00 to 9:00 Daily 9:00 to 5:00 Saturdays Visa & Master Charge Accepted KEEFER'S JEAN JUNCTION FEATURING DESIGNER JEANS BY: JORDACHE SASSON .

For the most part, the films went over well. Rob Doty and Chris Fellin serv- . ed as chairpersons of the Publicity and Elections Com mittee. Doty and Fellin were organized, and did their best to regulate the posting of material on bulletin boards . The committee should be commended for the efficient way in which the elections were run. The chairmanship of this committee has been regarded as a difficult job. To make the job easier and to increase the committee's effectiveness, President Nunez has indicated that next year there will be a separate committee for publicity and another for elections . The Academic Committee was chaired by Ana Nunez . This committee kept SC updated on campus academic affairs and helped SC formulate polic y regarding academic decisions of the college. The Social Committee was cochaired by Leigh Major and Corinna Bender. The committee was responsible for scheduling events and maintaining an updated social calendar. Also, its subcommittees sponsored a clambake and a dinner-theater in the fall , and a Fourth-of-July Weekend this spring . The dinner-theater was the most successful of the three, and is an idea worthy of further development. The Winter Weekend Committee sponsored a weekend event in February, but it was not very successful . Mike Stapleton was chairperson of the Concert Committee, which was relatively inactive this year . The committee should, however, be commended for its efforts to bring a jazz concert on campus this spring. Accomplishments Among SG's accomplishments is its effo rts to improve relations be. tween the three student government organizations, SC, CC, and IRHC, and the administration of the college. A few tri-organizational meetings were held during the course of the year which gave members of the three organizations a chance to work together and exchange ideas. SC also tried to change the Stark Learning Center regulations. Although SC succeeded in getting more study rooms open, it did not meet with total success. Also, SC gave its approval to a student proposal regarding new minimum cumulative and major averages . The proposal was used as a basis for the policy later approved by the faculty . Another successful venture was the used book store. In both semesters, students were given the opportunity to sell their old books and purchase used ones. The store was well run and provided an excellent student service. One not-quite-so-successful venture was the Small School Convention. After months of planning and a great deal of work, the convention was cancelled only da-ys before it was scheduled to begin. It was too bad that there was not enough interest in this worthwhile project. A more successful project was the Leadership Workshop . This gave members of SC, as well as other student leaders, a chance to improve their leadership skills. SC also adopted a Bill of Student Rights . It has been presented to the administration for approval , but that approval has not yet been given. A policy on student advising has also been presented to the administration. That policy is currently beilig reviewed . For the most part, the representatives of sc· have shown interest in their work, and have voiced their opinions at meetings. All in all, it was indeed a year of growth, and as long as SC continues to learn from its mistakes it will continue to grow and im- prove. If everything goes right, next year is going to be great.

The program started on NBC in 1966 after it was turned down by CBS for "Lost in Space". Once it found a network, the show had a tough time finding a good viewing night. It spent most of its network rtin time on Fridays at 10 p .m. Even an X-rated movie starring Loni Anderson would be hard pressed to pull viewers at that time. After two years the show was cancelled, and that's where the "Story of Star Trek" begins. NBC found itself waist deep with mail protesting the cancelling of the show. A national movement was started to save the show, and it still exists today. The Trek fans saved the program for one more season, but finally NBC laid it to rest in 1969 . Then it went into syndication , and is still seen throughout the country and the world today. The fans formed a national cult, published newslet- Webster Move Over ... For Steno Speech Planning to go into the real world soon? Hopefully you 've learned enough in college to enable you to compete in the job market. But once you do get a job , you might find it difficult to understand some phrases used in the business world , even those that are used quite often. So , for the benefit of all the educated persons here who wish to gain an in-depth knowledge of office definitions , here follows a short list compiled by the American Revoluti~n Bicenteninal Administration researchers from offices all over America: - ' 'Under Consideration'' - (Never heard of it.) - "Under active consideration " - (Dig the stuff out of the files, quick.) - " We are making a survey"-(We need more time to think u p an answer.) - "Note and initial" -(Let's spread the responsibility for th is.) - "It is in process " -(So bogged down in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless .) - ''To implement a program'' -(Hire more people , expand the office.) - " Give us the benefit of your thinking"-(We'll listen to what yo u say, but it won't interfere with what we have already decided.) - ' 'Forwarded for your consideration '' -(You hold the bag awhile .) Here is part of a "personnel memo" about checking office activity: "If, after several hours , any employee has not been seen to move or open at least one eye, the Department Head should investigate. Because of the nature of some employees and the close resemblance between death and their normal working habits , the investigation will be made quietly to avoid waking the employee if he or she is asleep . " If real doubt exists as to the true condition, a paycheck will be issued as a final test. If the employee fails to reach for the check, it is reasonable to assume that death has occurred. " In the event that any employee fails to abandon whatever he is doing when it comes time for the coffee break, no investigation is necessary, as this is conclusive proof that rigor mortis has set in . On other business matters : - " Salesman 's claims for performance should be multiplied by a factor of O. 2 5.'' - " Manufacturer 's specifications of performance should be multiplied by a factor of O. 5. " • - '' All delivery promises must be multiplied by a factor of 2.0.' ' - " If more than one person is at fault or responsible for a miscalculation, no one will be-at fault. '' These definitions and hidden meanings may never appear on any exam you'll take , but they may be useful some day when you want to know the real meaning of some phrases used in the office. Around The Campus What do you like best about Wilkes? ters, and held conventions. There have been dozens of books written on the show's starts . Someone even printed and sold a complete blueprint to a life sized Enterprise. The show has appeared on network television, syndicated television, and in cartoons. Now the program is going to do something that rarely ever happens in network television , it is returning to the tube. According to a published report in T.V. Guide in their teletype section, Paramount is making plans to start shooting new episodes of the show. I don't know what use will be made of this production , but it was reported that William Shatner will return as Captain James T . Kirk, commander. This seems to fit in nicely as another chapter in the incredible story of Star Trek. I'm sure the new show will face ' a lot of problems that the movie did, and was not able to overcome. There are a lot of questions surrounding the production of a new series. Will Leonard Nimoy return as Spock? How many actors from. the orginal cast will return? Can the show avoid problems in modernization that other shows couldn't? If there is one show that can, "Star Trek" is it . Without a doubt, "Star Trek" is the most durable show of all time . With programs and movies liek "The Wild Wild West Revisited", "The Brandy Girls", "Topper", "The New Maverick", "The Return of Frank Cannon", and "The Revenge of the Munsters", one would say the oldies are still goodies . To all this I ask but one question . When will "Lost in Space" return? I always liked that show. Editor's Note: Beam them up, Scotty. · Would You Believe . ..

The team's overall record is 6-7, their MAC record is 0-2, and their NPWIAA record is 2-2. The team did have a bad week, but they also had some bad luck. Against Kings they played in very cold weather and were minus the ·services of first baseman Stacy Keeley. Shortstop Joyce Walsh suffered an injury and could not play _ against · Delaware Valley and Marywood, and she was sorely missed . The coaches were forced to ·go with a shuffled line-up, and the team had some difficulties. The team played a tough game against Upsala; as a matter of fact, they played their hearts out. Each player gave it his all, but the fact that the team only had one pitcher available probably cost them the game. Throughout the game Karen Bove had been keeping the Upsala team off balance, but by the late innings the Upsala team became more comfortable and began to hit her ptiches. The coaches wanted to bring in a relief pitcher, but there was not one available. They would have liked to show the Upsala players a different kind of pitch to hit, and make them even more confused and uncomfortable. With no relief in sight, Karen stayed in there and did her best. She deserved to-win the game, but Upsala became used to her pitches and hit her hard. The game was close from the beginning, and they won it in the late innings with a homerun. Karen Bove pitched a courageous game, and she limited Upsala to only 6 hits. Her record now stands at 2-1. The team batted .261 for the week, which was below their previous average of .426. Cocaptain Kar_en Johnson was the 4-4 this Season------ Tennis TeamEa,en by Mark James It was a fairly good year. The Wilkes tennis team may be headed toward a winning season, but the playoff picture looks bleak. In recent action, the netmen lost to a tough Scranton team, 8-1, before wiping out Susquehanna and Lycoming by scores of 7-2 and 8-1 respectively. Two matches, against King's and Baptist Bible, were postponed. The results of last Tuesday's rematch against Scranton were not available at press time. Because of an earlier loss at the hands of Elizabethtown, the Col~ onels have had to settle for second place in their MAC division. Divi-sion teams they have already beaten include Juniata, Susquehanna and Lycoming. Saturday the netmen take on their final division foe, Albright, at Ralston Field. The individual players have all been doing good, with Dave Battle putting out the best performance, sporting a 5-2 singles record. Watkinson, Manoski, Swirbel and Spevak have all collected 4 singles victories so far this season . Buchsbaum and Sezenias have been less impressive, gathering only one win each. 'Tm pleased with the progress the team's made. We had a few question marks we filled in," Coach Rokita explained. "They play up to their potential for the most part, which is good." With only a few matched remaining overall, the racketeers have a good chance to finish with an impressive record, and next year may prove to be even more promising. This year, the toughest competition has come from Scranton and Elizabethtown. In the initial game against Scranton, only co-captain Barry Spevak could muster up a Wilkes victory. _ Against a young Lycoming team, it seemed like the Colonels couldn't loes. In singles competition, all the Wilkes players won in two sets. The netmen may have swept all three doubles matches, but the team of Watkinson and Battle had some concentration problems, and Lycoming came away with its only victory of the entire contest. The final match of the season will be next Thursday, when the Colonels take on a tough Muhlenberg team . NET NOTES: For a good part of this season, senior co-captain Stanley Manoski has been hampered by a sore back . . . co-captain Barry Spevak had a slow start, but since then has been racking up the wins from the number six position. Dave Battle not only plays the best competitors, but is also the best dressed man on the courts, some say. "I try to maintain a certain image," the number one man explained. Jim Watkinson has the best quotes: "Lets play three sets, I don't want to go to History class. " Players like Buchsbaum, Sezenias are intense competitors; arid freshman Swirbel is perhaps the best prospect for the future. Not too many fans have been turning out for the matches, a typical hallmark of Wilkes sports. However, there is a squirrel in the neighborhood that makes most of the matches. It often spends its time running along the top of the court fences, d_istracting the few fans who do stop by . main offensive producer for the week as she batted .611 and drove in 11 runs. Stacy Keeley also had a good week and batted .466. This year's team is young and has little experience. The team is mostly freshmen and sophomores with one senior, Kathy -Poplawsky. However, the team has talent and, more importantly, a lot of heart and courage as shown by the game against Upsala. The ladies played evenly with a great team and only lost on a bad break. As a matter of fact, if the team had had a few more good breaks during the season, they might have had a better record. So far this season, the team has batted .359 and has held the opposition to .298. The ladies have also outscored their foes 122-103. Karen Johnson has been the big gun and has compiled .a .555 average with 28 RBl's while hitting in the clean-up spot. She has also done an excellent job behind the plate. Kathy Poplawsky, or "Pop" as she is called by the team, has amassed a .441 average with 13 RBl's while playing third, short, and second. First baseman Stacy Keeley has hit at a .422 clip and has 8 RBl's. Shortstop Joyce Walsh has hit .390 and has 15 RBl's, and leads the team in extra base hits with 12. Outfielder-third baseman Kim Smith has compiled a .347 average with 13 RBl's. FOUL BALLS - The team will wind up the 1981 season with a doubleheader against arch-rival Scranton. The game will be played Holding 6-1 llecord---- Gol/ Team Impressive by Joe Rubbico Since my last communication to you, the Blue and Gold has gained 4 wins and suffered only 1 loss, raising their record to 6-1.

This week, we proudly congratulate Tony Madden and Pam Snyder for being selected male and female Athletes of the Year. Both Tony and Pam have been team leaders throughout the year with great proficiency in their respective sports that exemplifies not only the quality of their potential, but also the excellence of their endeavors. In them, one can see the formidible strength, poise, and character n~ary to quality athletic ,competition. It takes desire to accomplish excellence; we11 let their accomplishments explain the intensity of t1ieir determination. Tony Madden, a junior accounting-major from Pringle, Pa., can best be described as an all-around athlete. This year he excelled in both football and basketball, and it is obvious that both teams' coaches are glad to have him around. Football Coach Rollie Schmidt calls Tony "an outstanding young man" and basketball Coach Ron Righter describes him as "a gifted athlete . . . ready to play every second he's on the court." It is no wonder both coaches praise his ability, because Tony's contributions to the progress of both teams has been phenominal. As a wide receiver, Tony averaged 15.7 yards a catch, his longest going for 47 yards. He was second on the team in scoring with two touchdowns, and he led the team with 34 receptions for 534 yards. Not only are his football statistics impressive, but they also explain how Tony managed to put the Colonels in good field position throughout the season. Next year, he should be almost impossible to cover one-on-one. This will play a major role in Wilkes' gridiron success. The key will be a wide open offense. Tony Madden Two weeks after the football season ended this year, Tony took to the courts as co-captain of the basketball team. He missed a month of practice because of this, but still did well in all twenty-five games this season. He made 104 of 184-shots from the field, giving him a teamleading 57.l percentage. From the penalty stripe, he shot 77 percent of his shots, going 88 for 114. Tony scored 11.8 points per game for a total 296 points, second only to Mike McCarrie in team scoring. On defense, Tony hauled in 176 rebounds, stole the ball 27 times and blocked 18 shots, finishing second best in each department for Wilkes. For the year, he had 35 assists and for next year, he has been named team captain. Word has it he is also running for mayor of Pringle. Senior Pam Snyder from Orwigsburg, Pa., is a business administration major who can best be described as an intense competitor. This year's co-captain on the Wilkes field hockey team, Pam is a prime example of the force behind women's sports competition. She puts much effort into fulfilling excellence in athletic performance, and her record over this and the past three years speaks for itself. In her four years at Wilkes, Pam has scored a total of 29 goals with 13 assists for a grand total of 42 points. In her first two years she lead the team in scoring with 8 goals and 3 assists as a freshmanL B E A C A MP COUNSELOR A fun experience .

As a junior, she scored 6 goals with 3 assists, and this year she scored 6 goals with 2 assists. The key to her succe$, however, is not just being able to score points. It's the quality of her play that makes Pam stand out on the hockey field. ''She has the strongest individual skill of a player we've ever had at Wilkes," Coach Gay Meyers said. Meyers also explained the importance of Pam's prescence on the team. "Being a co-captain in a Pam Snyder rebuilding year, she's been an outstanding asset. I don't know what it would have been like without her." In addition to being a very capable athlete and team leader, Pam has also given Wilkes national recognition throughout the years. This year, she had been invited to compete in the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association tournament, finishing as a first ateam all-star. From there, she competed .in the Mideast Regionals . After placing on the Mideast II team, Pam went on to participate in the national tournament sponsored by the United States Field Hockey Association. Being selected to play in the national tournament is an honor second only to a spot on the newly formed U.S . Olympic field hockey team. In each of her four years at Wilkes, Pam has been selected to four SFHA all-star teams, and in three years she has placed on Mideast Sectional teams. For each of the three years, she's gone on to represent Wilkes nationally. Finally, the Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate such players as Mike McCarrie _ and Diane Hall and all the outstanding athletes at Wilkes for a job well done. This year's Athlete of the Year decision was a tough one. All Wilkes athletes, from starters to subs, should feel proud of themselves for trying their best and enjoying their sports.

It seems like only yesterday that I was writing my first column and explaining what the coming year had in store for Wilkes College athletics. I! was an exciting year for myself and the entire sports staff, one of expenmentation as well as~nsistency. For the BEACON sports readers, it was a year of transition from the one-man sports reporting of Eddie White to this year's coverage by a sports department. It was a year that contained incidents both good and bad, but all educational. From day one when I took over as sports editor, I wanted to give the sports pages a new look. I wanted to include things in the sports section that would be interesting, informative, and sometimes humorous. I wanted to make the sports section a part of the BEACON that would appeal to everyone and not just the sports-mi ded people on campus. As I look back over the issues of the BEACON this year, I can see some changes I would make in the sports section and some things that I would leave as they are. I can also see·some errors that were made in reporting: ,ome blatant, some honest mistakes. But above all, I can see an honest attempt was made by every member of the sports staff to bring the best poaible sports coverage to the Wilkes College campus. It is without a doubt that the best feature in the sports section this year . was"Athlete of the Week." This was a feature which was very difficult to complete, but extremely rewarding when it was finished. Because of the. strange publication deadlines this year, the entire "Athlete of the Week" feature was done in about a day and a half. This was really a rough assignment when you consider that a number of people had to be con. tacted for comments and a photograph appointment with the featured athlete had to be set up. The entire sports staff was proud of this feature for it gave credit to those athletes on .campus who distinguished themselves on the field of play. I would personally like to congratulate every "Athlete of the Week" winner, especially Mike McCarrie and Tony Madden, the only two athletes to win the award three times. I hope this feature continues, and that the athletes take as much pride in receiving the honor as the sports staff did in giving it! Concerning the other features which appeared in the BEACON sports P!ges from week to weeJ5, I must admit that I am pleased with the way they were accepted . Although a sports quiz or sports calendar are not the most important part of a sports section, I believe that they added a fresh flavor to the pages. The calendar kept the campus up to date on sporting · events while the quiz allowed the sports geniuses in the area to test their sports knowledge. Without a doubt, the biggest problem which the sports department faced this year was the lack of space. Because of the budget problems the BEACON suffered, the entire newspaper was cut back to an eight page isue for a good part of the year. Eight pages are simply not enough to cover all the events happening on campus. Also, in an eight p age paper, the sports department gets only two pages, which is way short of the space needed to cover all of the athletic events. Considering the problems we had, I feel that the coverage of sporting events this year was very good . E ach writer assigned to a sport did the job that was required of him or her. Although some stories were severely edited or even eliminated from some issues, no coach on this campus can say that their sport was totally ignored or edited unfairly. I was extremely happy with the amount of coverage that women's athletics received this year . I think I can honestly say that this was the first year in a long while that stories concerning women's sports were of the same number and length as that of men's sports stories. My goal at the beginning of the year was to give women's sports as much coverage as men's contests and I believe that I achieved this goal sufficiently. There are a number of people that made my sports editorship a memorable experience and I would like to give these people the credit they deserve. For the most spectacular individual play, Vince Savoca gets my vote for his last second field goal against Susquehanna University. For the most consistent player of the year, Mike McCarrie leads the field. Mike was solid in all aspects of his game, every game. Finally, for his overall athletic ability which amazed me both on the. football field and the bastketball court, Tony Madden is truely one of the best athletes to wear the Colonels' colors. There are a number of people who helped ~e in my sports reporting that I would like to thank as well. A very special thanks goes to each and every member of my sports staff for an outstanding job all year. Every one of them completed their assignments on time and with the greatest of writing ability. A special thanks goes to my assistant Dave Capin for filling in when I needed him ; His loyallty and knowledge of athletics was a true assest to the sports department. A special thanks goes to Eddie White for help throughout the year in all types of sports matters. His experience as sports editor and his knowledge of athletics proved to be a real help to me this year. I would finally like to thank my readers for taking interest in both my column and the sports section. Although they did not always agree with what I wrote, they proved to me that they at least read the articles, which is the most important thing of all. · I am going to miss writing for the BEACON and being a part of the hustle and bustle which goes along with being an editor. to Mark and Ellen, I :wish the best of luck and hope they have as much fun next year as I did this year. To everyone who has read my column this year, remember, the next time you want to do something to the best of your ability, do as I did and reach back for that little "Sumthin' Extra ." Athle te Of The Week by Mark James Another prime example of a gifted athlete is this week's Athlete of the Week, Bob Miller, a former standout for Pittston Area . Bob has been putting out some fantasti· performances for the Colonels this year, and his powerful pitching has proved to be invaluable to · Coach Kaschak's baseball team. Bob has been hurling his way to victory all season. So . far, his record stands at 4-1, and it looks like he is on his way to a productive and winning season. Earlier this year, Bob hurled his way to a Wilkes 6-1 victory over Susquehanna. While holding the opposition to only one run, he struck out three while walking only two. In a double header against Albright, Bob came into the second game with an impremve 1.41 earned run average. The Colonels needed a win after losing the first game. Wilkes exploded for a 14-4 victory, but with Miller pitching, Albright didn't have a chance. Two of Albrights four runs were unearned. In the second game, Bob allowed only seven hits, struck out five, and walked only one. Congratulations Bob for making it tough for the opposition to come close. Since he's only a sophomore, it looks like Bob has a good career ahead of him on the mound for Wilkes. Editors note: Because of some difficulties in meeting deadlines and some space problems, the .t\.thlete of the Week featu re this week is shorter than we would like. This is not a reflection on the athlete's performance, but is a technical problem that could not be overcome. Colonels Sweep Bloomsburg For 15-9 Slate by Peter Steve Da~ Englehart had a strong game while senior Jim Kearney struck out seven and walked three as the Colonels of Coach Dave Kaschak swept a doubleheader from Bloomsburg College, 4-1 and 13-12 in Bloomsburg. Englehart scored a run in the first inning when Jerry Antosh hit a single to force the run across. The Colonels added three more runs in the third inning when Joe Malat~ta and Englehart scored on a Husky thro"Ying error after reaching base with singles. Cocaptain Chick And rewscavage scored the final run of the inning on a ground out. The nightcap was a high scoring game as the Colonels outlasted the Huskies to gain a 13-12 victory. With the Colonels tra ling by a score of 9-5, Malatesta .and Englehart drew consective walks with the bases loaded forcing two ,runs across. Chick Andrewscavage followed with a two-RBI single to SAFE! Dale Englehart beats the throw to home plate in recent Coionel action. The ball is visible along the right edge of the photo. tie the game at 9-9. Jerry Antosh followed with an RBI single and Chris DaRe pushed across two more runs to give the Colonels a 12-9 lead . The Colonels were able to pull off the win in the second game when Joe Malatesta hit a sacrifice fly to score Glenn Demarris in the sixth inning. Joe Grzenda picked up the win for the Colonels with relief help from Bernie Radecki. The two game sweep lifts the Colonels over-all record to 15-9. The Colonels have six games remaining and a chance to end their season with a 21-9 season record. Two doubleheader matchups with Scranton and Juniata may well decide the playoff possibilities of the Blue and Gold for this year. The team has been playing in some tough luck lately with a number of one run games falling into the wrong column for the Colonels. Pitcher Jim Kearney has had a couple of rough games with the team coming up short in the scoring department every time "rainbow" takes the mound. Pitcher Bob Miller has· turned out to be the stopper on the staff as he has held his opponents to low scores the majority of times he has worked . The bats of the Colonels continue to work at a very efficient pace, scoring runs almost at will. Co-captain Chick Andrewscavage again leads the team in the batting department as he has done in the past. Dale Englehart, Chris DaRe, and Joe Malatesta manage to reach· base with great frequency allowing the big bats the opportunity to collect the RBI's . The Blue and Gold has a couple of key games and will need to put everything together to gain the wins. Under the direction of coach Dave Kaschak, a co~ch who will literally give a guy the shirt off his back, the team should be in fine position for a playoff bid. Good luck guys and swing for the fences! NOTICE The Second Annual George Elliot Memorial Boxing Exhibition will be held on April 28, 1981.

For years, this cheer has been as much a part of New Student Ori~tation activi ties as President Capin's address to the incom in g s tud e n ts. However, th is tradtional display of spirit was noticeably lacking due this year, d ue to the absence of Dean George Ralston from Saturday's Activities . Every year Dean Ralston leads the orientation staff, administration and the new students in the "Go Wilkes" cheer but th is year the 'dean of stude~t affairs was unable to provide this traditional spark of enthusiasm . On July 24, Dean Ralston underwent surgery for total hip replacement. After the hou r and a half operation , he spent fi ve days in traction and then was allowed to move about with the aid of a walker. He now walks with the assisitance of crutches and will continue to use them throu gh most of September. Although the dea n is still resting at home, he should be able to return to his office in Weckesser Hall shortly. While Dean Ralston is recover- ing from the operation, Deans Jane Lampe and Arthur Hoover have taken over some of Ralston's responsibilities, but as Dean Lampe noted , "George Ralston is irreplaceable." Consequently, she and Dean Hoover frequently callhim for advice. Within the next few weeks t he Dean will return to his office on campus . And although he won't be doing the well-known Ralston cheer for awhile, the Dean will contribute something equally wellknown by students-his highly regarded c~unsel. Board Elects New Officers By Mary Kay Pogar The Wilkes College Board of Trustees recently elected new officers at its ·annual meeting. William L. Conyngham will serve as the Chairman of the Board for the new year. Conyngham is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Eastern Pennsylvania Supply Company, which is based in Wilkes-Barre. A graduate of Yale University, he also serves as Director and ViceChairman of the Wilkes-Baree General Hospital. Other officers elected by the board are; Richard Ross, ViceChairman, who now serves as 'president of First Eastern Bank, William Umphred, President of Commnwealth Technologies, who will act as the Board's treasurer, and Esther Davidowitz , -the newly-elected secretary. In addition to the officers, several new members have been added to the-board . Harold Rose, President and Chief Executive Officer o·f the Wyoming National Bank of Wilkes-Barre; Luciana Inside Financial Aid Director p. 2 Orientatio·n p.5 Summer Roun-cla:p p.8 Suraci, a member of the Board of Directors of the Lackawanna County Mental Health Association, and Alexandra Ehret, President of Musical Management Company in Phiadelphia, will now serve as members of the Board of T rustees for the next three years . According to President Capin, members of the Board of T rustees are selected after they are evaluated in terms of their prospective contributions to the college in one or more of three areas; wisdom , work and wealth. DEAN GEORGE RALSTON delivers a message at the Ecmenical Service. The dean made a special effort to attend this service and participate in the orientation activites. SG Holds First Meeting Of The School Year By Doug Fahringer Ana Nunez, President of Student Government, opened the first SC meeting of the semester by expressing her enthusiasm for the coming year . The meeting began with the second reading of a fund request made by Donna Krappa representing the Women's Activities Association. SC members passed a request for $1,194 to help fund attendance at away sporting events. The request had originally been $1 ,841 , however the bus trip to the Juniata game was deleted because of it's high expense . Krappa mentioned that there is always room on the bus for students who wish to attend away games. In te r-Residence-Hall -Council President Bill Lourie then an nounced the "Freshm en Follies" which will be held tonigh t at 6: 15 p.m. in the gym .. Everyone is invited to what has been termed "orga nized fu n" and a $25 spirit . award will go to the residence hall with the most spirit. Lourie also mentioned· a 'SUB parrty follow ing the '_'Freshmen Follies" which is schedued for 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Th e party will be catered and since it is the year's first SUB party, Louri-:: encourages students to come. Concerning the next IRHC meeting, Lourie stated the time will be 8 p .m. on Sunday, September 6 in the lower level of the library. Commuter Council President Joe Knox noted tha t a new parking lot will be available to commuting students. The lot is located behind Bedford Hall. Knox also announced an upcoming lunchtime Coffeehouse schedule for Sept. 24. Concerning New student Orientation, Am y Elias, co-chairman, felt that the Orientation Program went very smoothly. Elias thanked the entire orientation staff for their help . She then asked SC members for their feedback on Playfair, which was held last Saturday night in the gym. Most members thought Playfair was successful as did three freshmen ~lUdents who attended last Monday's SC meeting. Rick Mey e rs, representing COPUS, announced the name change from Peer Counseling to · Financial Aid Counseling. This program• offers services related to financial aid . Meyers also mentioned the Work Study Program which helps any student on campus find an on-c;ampus job . Any questions concerning COPUS may be referred to the COPUS office on the second floor of the SUB. Tuition Payment Plan Started By Amy Elias This semester Wilkes College will -institute a tuition Installment Payment Plan ,. IPP, which will allow students to spread tuition costs over an eleven-month period. A student's eligibility fo r . the program is determined by his parents' income and if eligible a student may pay tuition costs on a mothly basis. Students whose parents have a combined income of $15,000 or more are eligible to participate in the plan . The amount financed is determined by the paren ts and additional payments over the determined schedule ma y be made at any time. Though no finance charges are assessed, there is an apllication fee of $35.00. On IPP, payments will be credited to the student's account twice a year. The Beacon asked Rachel Lohman, Financial - Aid Director . at Wilkes, whether this minimum proved discriminatory against those students whose parents earn less tha n $15 ,000, especially since the reduction in government aid to students. Lohman responded that most studen,ts affected by the govern ment budget cuts . have parents who earn more tha n $15,000 annually, and that IPP 'therefore was an aid to those were indeed most affected b~· . budget cuts in Washington . Lohman added that IPP will benefit those students who don't qualify for other types of financial assistance. Accordlng to Karen Campbell , Assistant Comptroller at Wilkes, wm parents of incoming freshmen or presently enrolled Wilkes students should have received a brochure outlining the plan in detail. This information , h o weve r , w as available later than expected due to problems of printing a nd some legal questions about the fi nance plan itself. When asked how such a plan came about, Campbell stated that she had seen a similar program used successfully at Carnegie Mellon Uni versity. After · examining th is program , C a mpb ell , Joseph Chisarick, Wilkes Comptroller, and President Robert Capin had worked together to utilize IPP on the Wilkes campus . Approximately 75 students have responded to IPP and will be using the new service. �Page 2, The Beacon, September 4, 1981 Photography Club Conducts Contest J • The Photography Club, under the leadership of Paul McCabe and Joe Larnerd, will be running a semester long photo contest.

She has spent the last three months working long days in preparation for the start of the Fall semester, in addition to com pleting the major project this summer: the packaging of student fina ncial aid fo r this year and the reviewing of last year's aid programs. · But in that time she has observed that Wilkes "has kept its smallcollege attitude toward students, " and throughout the summer months s he has enjoyed the "personal contact" with students which she believes is a part of that attitude.

One of the more acute problems- a pro blem not peculiar to Wilkes-is the reduction in the overall availability of financial aid for college students. "In the past" Mrs. Lohman explains fro m fi rsthand knowledge, "as tuition went up, so did aid . But now, this is the first year when tuitions are generally increasing and aid is decreasing." This discrepancy is of course a na tional problem , the result of drastic red uctions in the Federal budget in many areas, including aid for post-secondary education . This is a trend that will continue fo r at least two more years, but so far Lohman says that she has "never turned any students away solely for financial rea$ons. " Mrs. Lohman feels that another challenge of her new job is "learning the policies of the institution ." At this point she is satisfied that Wilkes' aid programs are "very fair and need based ." After one month on the job Mrs. Lohman felt adjusted and comfortable with the new routine, but she adds, "I was comfortable with the new people much earlier. " During the summer she worked with Mr. Richard Raspen, who ran the same office until he became Director of Alumni Relations last year. "I called Mr . Raspen almost daily. He was very helpful on internal policy, but I also had the support of all offices on campus." Mrs. Loh man 's imm ediate predecessor, Linda Giordano, has returned to her teaching position at the college. PHONI 825-0938 ...... s-10 ,au DILIYl■Y . . . . A $5.00 Order.

Tucker is primarily in charge of the Sterling Inn Towne and Miner Hall. He will also be working with the Resident Assistants, and will be involved in solving students' housing problems. Tucker has also been named Director of the Student Center, and is the first administrator to. serve in this capacity. His goal as director is to increase the use of the Center by making it more useful and comfortable for both commuter and residence hall students. Tucker feels that he has taken the first stepin accomplishing this by having, the Center open and operational from the first day of classes, thereby giving the students a familiar meeting place. Tucker received his Baccalaureate Degree from East Stroudsburg State College and his Master's Degree from the University of Scranton . He has worked as a career technician at Luzerne - County Community College, and recently has served as Program Supervisor for Luzerne County Recreation Center. L ourie Anticipates Prod uctive Year By Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie forsees a very productive year for the Council. Various activities are planned to fulfill the organization's goals of improved residence hall, food, maintenance and parking conditions. Foremost in Lourie's plans is the allocation of greater responsibility to individual hall governments. Lourie plans to establish a Presidents' Council, of which each hall president would be a member. He is also exploring the possibility of sponsoring workshops for the hall councils. Lourie also wants to see each hall involved in some type of community service. He plans to take action to red uce vandalism .on campus, and would like to see the SUB utilized more. Various minor committees will be estabiished throughout the year to fulfill these plans, including a Community Service Committee, a Vandalism Committee, and a Fund-Raising Committee. A P.ublicity Committee will also be ~tablished to keep the college community informed of IRHC happenings. · Lourie stresses the fact that IRHC is there to help with students' problems. The council would like to make Residence Hall life easier and more pleasant for the Wilkes resident student. By John Finn The Commuter Council conducted its first regular meeting of the Fall semester on Monday. The council voted to recommend that the All-College Picnic, which at the time of the meeting was tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6, be held at Ralston Field in Kirby Park. Originally, pl;ms were being made to rent Konefal's Grove for the same date, but the price of $9.00 per person for 250 people, was considered by .most members to be an exorbitant amount. Council members realized that even with the expected subsidy of $550.00 from each of the three campus governments, SG , IRCH, CC, the initial cost, and the cost of the band, migllt still place the cost per ticket for an individual student over $6.00. Council president Joe Knox announced that a new parking lot with an additional 20 spaces has been designated for commuters. The lot is located in the rear of Bedford Hall. The total number of spaces now available for commuters is 70. Knox also announced that parking applications have been reviewed and a tentative list of approximately 50 recipients has been drawn up. Another 20 will now be allotted. People who have been given parking spaces on campus will be notified by phone, ac- £OOPi.ildf 113 South Main St. Downtown WUlres-Barr• cording to Knox .

The council is also considering a bus trip on Sept. 27 to the Ph iladelphia Eagles vs. t he Washington Redskins game. A vote was tabled on a request by Knox to release $550.00 to purchase the 43 game tickets.

Playfair is a two-hour program of games and activities meant to stimulate communication between students. Man y Wilkes upperclassmen also participated in the program, happily screaming "Uh-mee-baal" and demanding standing ovations along with the rest of the new students. After the Playfair program concluded, a movie was shown and everyone was treated to soda and popcorn. ID's were distributed to the new students after the movie. On Sunday at 11 :30 a.m. a College and Community Ecumenical Service was held at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center fo r the Performi ng Arts. Dean George Ralston presided at the service.

However, when asked to present a seasonal outlook, Coach Meyers said that she was being "cautiously optim istic"about this year's team . The team has lost three talented perform~rs from last year's squad, Geri MacAfee, Megan Ward, and Pam Snyder, and finding replacements will not be an easy task. The 1981 season opens on Sept. 17 when the ladie s host Elizabethtown College, but there are two warm ups before then. The first is Sept. 5 when the team hosts a local club team , ·and the second is on Sept. 12 when the Lady Colonels will host Messiah , Mansfield, and Drexel in a tournament. Coach Meyers is counting on the first scrimmage in particular to provide her with a general indication of the team's strengths and weaknessess. This year's offensive unit will be led by junior co-captain Diane Hall who was the leading scorer last year. However, graduation has left the unit with little experience, so some new talent must be found . Coach Meyers indicated that finding an offensive combination that will click is the key to a successful 1981 season , so players from last year's junior varsity and some incoming freshmen may see varsity action early. On the defensive side, the squad has a contingent of experienced returning players , senior cocaptain Helen Gorgas, junior Linda Dayer, and sophomore Karerr Johnson, but Coach Meyers must fin d a replacemen t fo r the graduated Pam S~yder. Pam was an exceptionally talented player who gained many post-season honors, so the midfield defense will be lacking unless someone can step in and fill her shoes which is no easy task . However, on the positive side, Coach Meyers has no worries when it comes to goalkeeping. Sophomore Valerie Frey had a good rookie season, and with one year of collegiate experience under her belt she should be better than ever. • Wilkes Women tO Follow NCAA By Ellen Van Riper The 1981-82 season will be a landmark in Wilkes College athletic history. Beginning this fall , all of the women's athletic teams will compete under NCAA rules and regulations . The women had formerly followed the AIA W guidelines. This change will have a tremendous impact upon women 's athletics at Wilkes and at other colleges and universities across the country. There will be changes in statistical record keeping and postseason competition , but more importantly there will be changes in the transfer and eligibility rules . There are many more changes which have occurred because of the switch from AIA W to NCAA, but space does not allow full detail. However, more detailed information can be obtained from Mrs . Saracino, Director of Women's Athletics, at her office in Weckesser Annex . Volleyball Team Sets Aim For MAC Return By Ellen Van Riper Pre-season practice has· begun for the women's volleyball team . This year's tea m is working hard to reach their goal of another MAC play-off berth . Last season was the first play-off appearance for the team, and the ladies are eager for a repeat and perhaps a championship. The 1981 season· officially opens on Sept. 17 when the Lady Colonels host the.Elizabethtown Blue Jays, but there are two pre-season scrimmages scheduled also. The first is on Sept. 11 when the team will travel to Maryland to face Western Maryland College, the 1980 MAC champions. The second . is the following day in the Wilkes gym at 2 p.m. There will be a four team tournament featuring the host Lady Colonels, the University of Scranton Lady Royals, and Messiah and Allentown Colleges. Much of the p~e:-se~n practice has been· a cond1ttonmg program which was developed by head basketball coach Nancy Roberts. The program consists of a circuit of exercises which condition parts of the body which are used specifically for volleyball while at the Sl!,me time increasing ca_rdiov_ascular endurance. The ladies will be playing a long, tough schedule, so this program should prove beneficial in the long ru n. This year's team will feature many returning players. Leading the team will be captain Cathy Dudick and fellow seniors Lisa Cobb, Donna Derrick, and Jody Johnson . Other returni ng upperclassmen . are juniors Carol Cigarski and Ellen Van Riper and sophomores Debbie Cramer, Sally Fisher, Ellen Doty, and Suzette Dyanick. The team would also like to thank Dean Hartdagen for his help in obtaining a regulation volleyball standard for the gym. He is a great supporter of the team , and the ladies all appreciate his help.

Vol.XXXIV No. I September 4, 1981 - - - - - - - N e w Faces in Athletic Programs Kaschak, Righter Move On By Mark James The Wilkes College Athletic Department has gone through a number of changes during the summer, with the majority of changes involving sports personnel. Ron Righter is no longer the Wilkes basketball coach; he's gone to Washington State University to serve as assistant basketball coach . Righter',s replacement* is James Atherton who_served 13 yea rs as uc- , head mentor for the Luzerne Coun ty Commun it y Co llege basketball squad . In those years, Atherton compiled an amazing 228-86 record for the Minu temen, giving him a .726 winning percentage. Among the other changes is the departure of head baseball coach Dave Kaschak. Kaschak was offered a job with Rawlings Sporting Goods. His duties are as a pro- .,,. Froin - ,The Bench by Ellen Van Riper Welcome sports fans, both old and new. The summer is over, and it is time once again to enrich and cultivate our minds. Many of you p robably think that the fun and excitement of life has gone with the summer; but you are terribly wrm_1g. There is an aura.of excitement in the air in and around Wilkes College. It is the anticipation of a fresh, brand new season of intercollegiate athletics here at Wilkes. The 1981-82 season is going to be action packed from the opening kickoff to the last swing of the bat, and we at the Beacon Sports Department plan to bring it all to our readers. We will include the latest scores and complete game coverage,· but we will also include up to date MAC standings for all the teams, personality features, Athlete of the Week, and analysis of crucial games and matches. In addition we hope to convey to our reading audience some of the emotion of the players and games themselves. The 1981-82 year will also be a time of experimentation by the Sports Department. "The Great Experiment" will be the sharing of the position of editor by two people, myself and Mark James. Mark will be mostly responsible for the coverage of the men's athletic teams, and my major concern will be the coverage of the women's athletic teams. This split of the editorial duties will allow us expanded and more indepth coverage of all of the competitive teams. During the course of the year we hope that you will feel free to drop us a line or stop in the office to tell us how the experiment is going. Remember, this is the sports department of your college newspaper. Before I continue any further, I would like to make a commentary upon the importance of athletics in college life and perhaps life in general. First of all, I must make it clear that this applies to both participants and spectators alike. The basic reason for attending a college or university is to educate, improve, and expand one's mind and intellectual abilities with the hope of successively entering a particular profession upon graduation . With this in mind, it is obvious that almost everything at college is intellectually orientated . However, man is also a physical emotional being as well, and it is important to keep all three in proper balance. If one is improved, then the others should follow suit. This is where athletics come in, be they intercollegiate, or intramural. Sports are a physical outlet for man, and while the mind still functions, it is the body which dominates the activity. Athletic activity gives the mind a break and also releases the tension which can result in daily life. On the emotional side sports are also an outlet for the aggressive, competitive part of man. Athletic activity can also be a means by which to release anger and frustration. Socially, sports are a great way to meet new people, to learn how to coexist with one's fellow human beings, and a great opportunity to learn the values of teamwork. It is clear that in one way or another all of these things can be applied to both participants and spectators alike and without sports' this campus would be a greatly different place. On this note, I would like to urge all of you to get involved in Wilkes College sports this year. There are numerous ways to become involved; join a team, attend games and matches, sign up for intramurals, become a team manager or statisticial, or even become a sports writer for the Beacon . If you don't get involved, you are going to miss out on a lot of action and excitement. We at Wilkes are all one big team, so let's all support the athletic teams to help make 1981-82 very successful, and hopefully,-the year of the Colonel. representative for the company, which means he will be displaying and maintaining sporting equipment for professional athletes along the eastern seaboard . Most of his work will be with athletes playing football or baseball, some of whom will be in the college ranks . Swim coach Bob Greenwald has left Wilkes and his diving coach, Bob Lewis, will take over the coaching duties. Last yea r a good part of the swim season had been cancelled; hopefully, this year will be different. One of Lewis' greatest difficulties may be the fact that the Wilkes swim team is without i ts own facilities . Previously, the King's College pool was used by the team . Finally, Wilkes College no longer has a lacrosse team. Last spring there .had been deba te over · whether the lacrosse program should be abolished. Upon the suggestion of the Wilkes athletic committee in charge of studying the situation, President Capin decided the team should be dropped . Rumor has it the Presiden t's house was egged after the decision was made, but whether or not hard feelings are still strong will eventually emerge . With the coaches of two of Wilkes biggest sports no longer with us, there will most likely be some changes in these sports programs. The new baseball coach has not been selected yet, but our new basketball coach should prove to have a style much different than coach Righter . James Atherton is not known for losing his temper and jumping up and down after a bad call . He has a much less dramatic approach to the game than his predecessor . An alumnus of Wilkes College, Atherton once played for the Colonels when Dean Ralston was coach back in the '50's. "I feel Jimmy is one of the trul y outstanding teachers of the game in this section of the country," Ralston remarked , "and more importantly, he is a fin e human being and a great example for yo ung p e ople." Wilkes Athletic Director John Reese, when commenting on Atherton's selection, said the move was a sign of commitm ent to the basketball program . "We wanted someone who could keep the program on the rise," Reese explained, "We feel we've gotten a good man . Wilkes is putting its fa ith in Jimmy Atherton." Ron Righter, who can be credited with turning the Wilkes basketball program around in the past two years, was also pleased with the selection. "The program is in gqod hands. Wilkes could not ha ve picked a finer firstclass individual for the job, said Righter, who added, "The team should look forward to working with one of the best. " The Colonels will have to make a mild transition themselves. While Atherton is a seasoned veteran of the game, Righter can be best described as a dynamic young coach with a great deal of quality experience. Jack McKinney, the present coach of the NBA's Indiana Pacers was Righters coach while the former Wilkes mentor was playing at St. Joes . McKinney had this to say about Righter: "Ron has always been a hard working player and.it doesn't surprise me that he is now going to be working for a big-time college as coach."· Washington State's head basketball coach, George Raveling, was pleased with the addition of Righter to his basketball prograr,:. Speaking of Righter, Raveling said, "His background in basketball and his personality will be a tremendous asset to our basketball program." In his firs t yea r at Wilkes, Righter succeeded in attaining two goals: one was to beat Kings fo r the fi rst tim e in twenty years while winning ten games . Both goals were met . Last yea r, Righter and company wanted to have a .500 percentage, a victory over Scranton, and a league playoffs berth . They did . Just as Ron Righter made a step up in his career, the former Wilkes baseball coach Dave Kaschak did much the same. In his three years at Wilkes as head baseball coach , Dave Kaschak has proved to be a great success. His overall record in that time period stands at 50 and 26; that's two out of three games being a victory . He worked as an assistant football coach and was also in charge of the school's intramural program. While a student at Wilkes, Kaschak had an outstanding athletic record, garnering most valuable player honors in addition to being the 1971 Athlete of the Year. It is his outstanding record of accomplishments in athletics that caught the eye of the Rawlings people . His sports background and his personality made him the man for the job. Before coming to W ilkes, Dave ·Kaschak was doing the same things at the nearby Bishop O'Reilly High School. He took the job at Wilkes knowing it would provide for more and better opportunities . As it turned out, he met his new boss through Wilkes. "All I did was to send him a resume. It doesn't hurt to find out what y9u're wo rt h." As it tu rned out, he was wo rth a lot to the Rawlings people and was told he would get the job if he wanted it. He was called at the end of April and was asked if he would be interested in the career move . "I sat down for a couple · minutes because I was still in the middle of our sear.on . . . and I said, 'How could I refuse th is?' " He couldn't refuse the salary increase and increased benefits. The job had too much to offer. Kaschak said he would still be living in the area and would a big supporter of the Wilkes teams . Asked if he would miss being coach and working at Wilkes, he had this to say: "Oh yeah! Some of these kids I've really grown to like." He mentioned the situation of Division III sports. His main point was that most of the athletes don't get the benefits of Division I athletes, and they play because they enjoy sports. "You get kids that want to play because they like to play, but they're not getting paid to play. You don't have the control over them that . a Division I school would have. The sad thing about it is that you have kids that are dedicated enoughto not go out on Friday when there is a big double header on Saturday. Some kids can do it and still do alright, but they're few and far between. Usually if you're out having a good time on Friday night, you don't have a good time Saturday afternoon ." Wilkes College means a lot to Dave Kaschak. He loves his job. The Rawlings offer fo r Kaschak was like the Washington State offer for Coach Righter . It was a step up in their career goals. The loss was obviously Wilkes', but the career gains for both Kaschak and Righter prove not only the quality of these two men in sports, but it is also a reflection on the Wilkes athletic programs. Kaschak continually stressed that he took the Rawlings job for financial reasons, although the local media tended to play upon the tenure standing at Wilkes. However, Kaschak had several years to go before worrying about tenure. What he wanted to do was to make a: better life for his famil y. He worked hard through the years to attain this; he earned it . To him, coaching at Wilkes was just .fine, but as he said , "Dave, Michael, Brain, and Camille ... that's what it's all about! " Dave Kaschak couldn't have said it better.

Vol.XXXIV No. 2 September 11, 1981 Wilkes Nursing Students Begin Hazelton Program By Donna Nitka August 31 marked the beginning of the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton and both adm inistration and students are enthusiastic about it. The new Hazleton program is designed to follow the same fouryear curriculum as the - regular nursing program , but allows students to fulfill part of their requirements at Wilkes and the remainder at the Hazleton State General Hospital. Students in the program take courses in English, sociology, and psychology at Hazleton. Each class meets once a week for a three-hour period and is instructed by a Wilkes faculty member. Twice weekly the students are bussed to Wilkes to attend lectures · and do lab work in biology and chemistry. Although the Hazleton facility was equipped fo r this, t he lab facilities there were inadequate. While on the Wilkes campus, the students are also able to fulfill their physical education requirements are participate in college activities . Although most of the program beyond the beginning of th e second year isn't planned yet, it is known that all clinical requirements will be completed at the Hazleton State General Hospital with the exception of obstetrics, which will be handled at St. Joseph Hospital in Hazleton. Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen notes that because the program is new there are still problems to be solved . One such problem is integrating the Hazleton students on the Wilkes campus, and encouraging them to participate in college activities and exercise their student rights (such as voting in campus elections) . Elective courses also pose a problem . Although these problems have been discussed, no detailed solutions have yet been reached. Dean Hartdagen feels that "there will be things we can't anticipate and we have to be flexible enough to deal with them. " The new p rogr am offers the possibility of expansion to the Nur sing Program . The Hazleton State General Hospital has housing facilities and a nursing library . Dean Hartdagen stated that in the future it may be possible to upgrade the present lab facilities and hire a staff of nurses primarily for the Hazleton program. This would permit the students to complete all their requirements in Hazleton and might also allow the acceptance of more students to the nursing program. It is anticipated that within three years there will be more than 100 students in the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton. The students' overall reaction to the program is a positive one. Even though many feel the class days are long, most find the program very challenging. It is however, a challenge they are happy to accept. As Leanne Bart, a student in the program, said, "I think it's wonderful. " communications Department Adds Three Part-time Teachers To Faculty By Thomas Jordan Before the 1981 fall semester began, the Communications Department of Wilkes College had planned to hire a full-time Communications teacher. Since that time, however, plans have been changed, and the department has instead added three part-time teachers to the faculty roster. Dr. Thomas Kaska, Language & Literature Department Chairman, stated that the chief reason for the decision was that the department Inside: Senior Recruiting p.2 Damon Young p.6 Neu, Cross Country Coach p. 7 could not find a suitable person for the job. Kaska commented, "We can't find one full-time teacher we feel has the right qualifications." Kaska also feels that there is not enough work for a full-time teacher in Broadcasting alone, and that the department needs a person with knowledge of each phase of communications. The three part-time communications teachers . include : Dean Phillips, anchorman on WBRE TV , who is teaching a mass media course; Don Horner, producer of the 6 and 11 p .m . News on WBRE, who is teaching a production course; and Carol Oliver, who is teaching in the Speech Department. Kaska feels these people are all qualified in th eir respective fields and will teach in the spring semester if they are available. Dr. Kaska added that "there are distinct advantages to having someone who is actually working in the field , because they know exactly what is going on in the field ." Dean Phillips made a similar statement, saying that no one can explain what is going on in the news room or how hectic it gets without · having been there . The Comm unications Department will continue advertising for full-time teachers of communications studies, though Kaska feels that part-time teachers will work out well for this year. · HAZING ::-- Three newly-initiated women of McClintock Hall proudly model their hazing costumes .

By Lisa Gurka Since its beginning on January 5 of this year, the Job Location and Development Program (JLD) has placed more than 100 students in jobs in this community. The program is again in operation this se mester . Approximately 60 studen ts have already been employed since the start of the Fall semester, according to Karen Alberola, the program's coordinator. Those students who are presently enrolled at Wilkes may participate in the program. JLD not only provides a listing of available employment through the job bank , but also tries to identify and develop jobs with · businesses. Students are then matched, according to their abilities and preferences, with the job openings. Alberola commented, "There has been an increase in the number of' students placed since the beginning of the ·program." Interested students are invited to stop in and register for the program. The offices are located in Roth Hall, 34 South River.Street.

Ana Nunez, President of SG , stated that "the best way to utilize the tremendous potential on all three councils is to cooperate." Bill Lourie, IRHC President, said that he is looking forward to a great year with CC . Commuter Council President Joe Knox, commenting on the early results of insufficient communication, reported that the concert Sunday night, Sept. 7, was poorly attended because "the final decision was late and the publicity was late." Originally, the day-long All College Picnic was to be held on Sunday, but the three organizations decided during the week to have the concert, which Knox referred to as "a compromise from the picnic ." Knox also reported that all parking spaces have been distributed to commu ters. He said that all recipients were notified by phone over the weekend. . Two new services to be offered by the Council this year will be a car-pool referral system and an L.C.T.A. "Flash Pass". The pass will cost $18.00 and will allow the holder to ride the buses one month for no additional cost. For more information students should contact the CC office, which is now open Monday through Friday from 10,a.m . to 2 p .m. Karen Evaskitas , · a new sophomo_re representative, was appointed to direct the Student Center Committee. The Council also voted ·to postpone the bus trip to an NFL game until problems and possible financial risks are more closely examined.

The upcoming regional conference of the National Association for College and University Residence Halls was the first item covered. under New Business.

In his closing comments, Lourie stressed the responsibility each rep has to the students.in his hall .

Wilkes College - the freshmen and transfers. A special committee carefully plans for the assimilation of these new students into life at the college, through an extensive orientation program . Everyone should be familiar with . the activities planned by the orientation committee - speeches, discussions, testing and, of course, Playfair. Another program of orientation also takes place, but not during the formal Orientation Weekend . This orientation is also carefully planned and thoroughly carried out. _However, this orientation lacks the approval of the administration, and the formality of the program mentioned above. And instead of refering to it as Orientation, most students prefer to call it hazing. In the residence halls, hazing is a procedure through which boys and girls (new resident students) become men and women, through the courteous planning of long-time residents of the hall. Translated, this means · anything from silliness and fun to public humiliation and embarassment. ,, _ Hazing.can be fun . Dressing up the new ·students in bizarre com.br~ations of clothing, taking them to the cafeteria tied together at the wrists and ankles, sending them on scavenger hunts and making them wait on upperclassmen in the cafe are relatively harmless methods of initiation. But threatening students with being blackballed if they fail to participate in hazing, making students physically ill during hazing or forcing them to do anything which they would consider humiliating is certainly not fun, and may even be cruel. Hazing can be a good way to meet a lot of new people. In fact., the scavenger hunts -going around to different halls and asking upperclassmen for specific items - were started to provide a way for new students to meet upperclassmen and other new students. But in recent years, and especially this year, the new students may have been introduced to other students under conditions that were not at all amusing and in ways that were humiliating or degrading. Of course, the circumstances of hazing always prove a little embarassing, but the degree to · which a student is embarassed has increased. The peer pressure to participate in hazing has also increased. Previously, everyone was expected to take part in the activities, but the consequences for not doing so were few. This year, however, students in one residence hall were warned that they would not be allowed to go to sleep B~ACO~ Letter Policy Letter to the editor kl:e welcom~ title deemed as fraudulant by the . ed from all interested parties.

One student, as a result, did not return to her room that night, but instead spent the night with a friend in another residence hall. Other students were threatened that they would be ostacized by all members of the hall if they did not participate in hazing. To a student in unfamiliar surroundings, such threats are serious, and are not taken lightly. There is no reason for such intense social pressure. If hazing activities are limited to those that are fun and not embarassing, most new students will be willing to participate with very little reluctance. But if a student is unwilling to be initiated through. hazing, for whatever reason, he or she would not be pressured into doing anything he or she is afraid or greatly embarassed to do. Hazing should be an experience to remember for its fun, not for its humiliation. There are many harmless ways to initiate the new students. The success of Freshman Follies last Friday night can attest to that. Every year there are new threats that hazing will be stopped entirely on this campus. Instead of allowing next year to be the year this happens, let's make it the year that hazing is reivembered for the fun.

The library has on display four unique rooms containing exhibits which reflect, through their design and memorabilia, the individuals for which they are named. On the first floor of the library, past the card catalogue, are two rooms dedicated to two of the most influencial members of the Wilkes community. The Eleanor Coates Farley Room was constructed to honor the wife of the first Wilkes president, Eugene Farley. The room captures, through its design, Mrs. Farley's interest in the arts. The Admiral Harold R. Stark Room commemorates the military career of Admiral Stark, who also served as Chairmen ,of the Board of Trustees at the college. The room reflects the dignity of the Wilkes-Barre native who became a major military figure during World Warll. Two additional collection rooms on the second floor · display, through their decor, the efforts others have made toward the advancement of Wilkes. Gilbert Stuart McClintock, who succeeded Admiral Stark as Chairman of the Board, is remembered through a collection of personal memorabilia and literature, much of which recounts the history of Wyoming Valley.

By Lisa Cobb There are many sources of information available to students at Wilkes College. One such source is the Susquehanna River Basin Association whose director, Damon Young, has his office in the basement of Franklin Hall. The Association's job is to insure the orderly development of the river, according to Young. This simply means that the Association guards against improper use of the which Young believes will contribute to fun outings for adventurous students. Young feels that the key word of the organization is "education. " The association's purpose is to educate people about new legislation, the value and uses of the river, and the recreational benefits the river offers. "Whether people realize it or not, they inadvertantly use the river," he commented, citing the Charmin Paper Company as on_e example. Some people of water before it reaches its end. Other concerns are the marine life and industrial use of the river and Chesapeake Bay. While on a cruise in the Bay recently, Young learned that only two fishing companies remain at the Bay out of the one thousand companies present only twenty years ago. The life in the Bay is affected by the water which flows into it, and the Susquehanna River donates over 50 % of the fresh water supply of the Chesapeake Bay. Good planning requires charts and mapping. Young hopes to map the Susq ueh a n n a for re cre at io nal, -boating, fishing, histqrical, and trail-guide purposes. The River Basin Association serves as a watchdog and·promoter of the Susquehanna River. Young said students can drop in any time with any questions they may have concerning the river. He said that he is also looking for student involvement. He is presently working on a canoe trip in which he hopes students will participate. The trip would begin in New York state, near the source of the river, and work its way back to our area . The participants could take pictures, do some water quality testing, and speak to persons in towns along the way. Information about membership is available. If you are interested in any of these activities, contact Mr. Young at Franklin Hall. CLUB DAY - At Club Day last Thursday, 33 clubs and organizations were present, trying to attract new members.

A related project w~ich the organization wishes to begin is "Operation River Watch." This project would involve high-school students from twenty-five school districts in the three states through which the Susquehanna runs. The students will test the water quality of the river in their district on a weekly or monthly basis. The organization also sponsors and promotes recreational activities on the river.

There are communities along its banks which use the Susquehanna. for drinking water, and there are also boat clubs and planned recreational activitives such as canoe races. Young feels that people need to become more aware of the river as an important asset and a potential danger. He commented that people lose interest in flood protection when the flood "goes away. " When there is no eminent danger, people become apathetic. Another key word to the organization is "planning." As an example , Young cited the Delaware River.

All the Wilkes sports teams will be doing something on Saturday, be it opening day or that one final scrimmage. Best of luck to all the teams and, of course, congratulations to the athletic department. It wasn't a very easy summer for those in charge of the school's sports programs. Surprise! Coach Righter is leaving for a better job. Boo! Nobody is capable of salvaging a dying lacrosse program. Sour grapes abound and .,the evercolorful Tracy Cloth, for one, is going to school somewhere else. Oh no! Dave Kaschak is leaving too? Two physical education instructors are gone. Righter was basketball coach and cross country coach, so· make that three gaps to be filled . Kaschak was the baseball coach, a football assistant, intramural director; make that four more gaps. The Athletic Department couldn't take any old bum off the streets and say, "You're our man, buddy!" It takes thinking, hard work, planning, and a lot of skirting of red tape in order to screen all the applications • With last Sunday's announcement that Bob Duliba will become the new baseball coach, we can all sit back and relax. Believe it or not, we're covered now. "It was a long summer trying to get things organized, but I think we came out in pretty good shape," said John Reese. Duliba was pitching coach at Wilkes four years ago before taking a head baseball coach position at nearby Wyoming Area high school. He is still going to be that school's athletic director, so he will be working at Wilkes part-time, a member of the coaching staff. No classes no te about either becoming a permanent part of the coaching faculty or being canned. The same holds true for basketball coach Jim Atherton. He coaches here, but his job is at Luzerne Community College. He is the Director of Student Activities and Athletics at LCCC. He, like Duliba, is considered by very many people as a member of the "very best around" club. We have 'em both . The other gaps will be filled in a variety of ways, too complicated to explain with so little space. The main men to keep in mind are the two new members of our coaching faculty, Steve Siegrist and Bart Bellairs. Both are excellent young men and John Reese will be the first to agree. In seven years they will be up for tenure, so it is too soon to be speculating . . . maybe. With a tenure policy, the school decides after seven years of service whether or not to keep a member of the faculty. Gene Domzalski baseball coach here for six years, but took another position with Wilkes. It's been a success story for him ever since. Coaches Reese, Schmidt, Saracino, and Meyers are all have tenture. They all have the security with which to build up strong athletic programs. Whether or not tenure is good or bad is a matter of opinion. When the Athletic Department has its next meeting, which should be in a few weeks, one item of discussion will be the tenure policy. Should the coaches be considered staff? Is tenure bad in a way but better in the long run? The process of examining these questions and then coming up with answers will probably take a few years. That is, if the athletic department prefers the staff idea. If not, then tenure will ' nother bi decision. was New Cross Country Coach Brings Enthusiasm and Versatility to Athletic Department By Ellen Van Riper Jim Atherton, the former head "Motivated" and "involved" are mentor at Luzerne County Comthe words which best describe Bart munity College.

The ladies showed a balance scoring attack. Scoring in the first period was junior Diane Hall. Later on in the match freshman Sue Defrates and Michelle Weiss put one goal each in the cage. Freshman goalie Tracy Kelly spelled Val Frey in the second period and had an excellent debut. Altogether, the hockey team look- Bart Bellairs is the new crosscountry coach. His motto: "Don't mistake activity for achievement." hard working and eager to start the season . This kind of anticipation has infected the entire team , and Bellairs himself anticipates a successful season. Athletics and a concern for other people are both important to Bart • Bellairs, but he also has other main interests: his family and Christianity. He was raised a Christian, and his convictions have led him to become involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As a matter of fact, one thing he would like to do is start a chapter here at Wilkes. His involvement in religion makes his commitment to other people much more understandable. During the course of the interview, he also discussed his ultimate goals in life, of which there are three. In the area of athletics, his goal is to- eventually coach an NCAA Division I championship basketball team. In the area of religion, he wants to l beco~e the best pe~sori he ·can be and achieve a close u"nity ·with God.

However; his influence will not end there. He is "a dedicated, first-class individual, a winner, and someone of his calibre cannot help but have a positive 'liifluence on the people around h'im .

By Mark James Last year the Colo~ls had a somewhat dismal season, winning only three of nine football games. But the Blue and Gold begin this season with a fresh battery of good freshmen recruits to add to a young but experienced squad. "They're a great bunch of kids," Coach Schmidt explained. "They're an aggressive group because that's the way they play. Everybody's attitude is;:.. on the money;.evei:.ybody's up. ". C' ' '· Sclini°idt-s.t~~c! the fact that in most - yeii'ni' attitude is not a problem with"" the "Colonels.

With weekly evaluations of each player's performance, the members of the defensive unit should be pretty competitive all season. Lucas will be looking for the guys that can hustle in order to give the Colonel defense better potential. The interior defense will lack experience, but the quality is there, so a little extra determination will be needed as the season· progresses. This year's offensive squad will have a balanced formation with two backs and two wide receivers on either side of the formation. The unit's predetermined attack will include option, trap, and misdirection plays. Twelve lettermen will be returning to the offense, but two players that will be missed will include rushing great Carmen "Homer" Lopresto and last year's freshman quarterback George Hall. Returning this year will be of- fensive captains Tony Madden and John Yankovitch and defensive captains Mike Azure and John Millisits, all of whom are seniors. Coach Schmidt said the senior leadership this year is outstanding. This is not a rebuilding year, but the majority of the players are young. Many of this year's sophomores had experience last year, and it will only be a matter of time before the freshmen players become better acquainted with the Colonel system. On Saturday the Colonels will be traveling to Princeton for what should prove to be a good preseason workout. Wilkes has scrimmaged Princeton in the past, and it usually provides a good test of each squad's respective strengths and weaknesses. Coach Schmidt will be entering his twentieth year at the helm. He has been working hard seven days a week in preparation for the upcming season. With the season opener against' the Upsala Vikings only eight days away at Ralston Field, the hard work for Schmidt, his staff, and the team is just beginning. According to Schmidt, the MAC North is pretty competitive; on any given day any team can emerge victorious. The first task at hand is to learn what tactics work best. The Colonels will have to find that out tomorrow. Sports E"ents September 12 Soccer vs. the Alumni at 2:00 p.m. at Ralston Field.

With three weeks of practice already under their belts, the Blue and Gold of Coach I Schmidt will be getting prepared all next week for the season opener against Upsala at Ralston Field, September 19. Team-Hampered By Go&lie Injury By Mark James With some weaknesses in bench strength, the Wilkes soccer team will be hoping to stay healthy in what may prove to be the team's best season in three years. The team has already been hurt by an injury, however, and the loss could be phenominal. Returning goalie Bob Bruggworth was coming along very well in the preseason, but last Sunday in a scrimmage against Keystone Junior College, Bruggworth broke his ankle and will be out for the season. Coach Ernesto Lopez was so impressed with the senior goalie that he said he felt he was working with All-Star material, but now Lopez is faced with the task of training a replacement for Bruggworth in just one week. Two likely candidates for the job include freshman Paul Dougherty and junior Mark Barson, who is in his second year on the team. So far it looks like Dougherty will be starting the season with the difficult task of filling Bruggworth's shoes . Onlv three seniors return this year, 'but the team does have a "fine crop" of freshmen, some of whom will see a good amount of playing time. This year's team is a good, closeknit group of guys that may be lacking in experience, but not in enthusiasm. Coach Lopez said, "All of them have the same skill and they arc working together. There are no stars.·· More than likely it will be a matter of team effort in determining the 'success of this season. "We try to pull together because we don't have excellent players," Coach Lopez explained. Wilkes will be opening its season Saturday at 2:00 p .m . at the Ralston Field against what senior Mike Brodigan described as "a very improved Alumpi team." The afternoon should prove to be enjoyable. One thing fans should look for is the speed that all players can get on the ball. The grass on the field may be a bit high, which may hurt the Colonels more than it could help them. The team will be playing eight of thirteen games this season at home. Incidentally, few, if any, of the players are from the Wyoming Valley. As a sport, soccer has not developed in this area as it has in other places. This does create some recruiting problems for Lopez, but fortunately, there are enough outof-town students at Wilkes to put together a decent team, as long as they can stay healthy. "If we don't have any injuries," the coach explained , "we can go through this season better than the past two years." Wilkes will be taking on . powerhouse rival Scranton at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Ralston Field. SPORTS NOTICE "The thrill of victory . . . the agony of defeat." Sports coverage can be as rewarding and challenging as sports competition itself. If you have a knack for putting the action of sports from the field into words, share the action wit.h your fellow students by applying for a sports - writer position with the Beacon.

Student Government President Ana Nunez noted that the "very in- . formative" meeting is mandatory for those organizations which plan to request funding or support from SC. In this case, the organizations' constitutions must be renewed. The most important aspect of the meeting, however, will be the proposal of establishing a Presidents' Council. Nunez states that the purpose of this coµncil is to provide greater communication between Student Government and clubs and organizations at Wilkes. by Mary Kay Pogar soth Anniversary Planned by College ; Celebration Serves Double Purpose by Donna Nitka The 1981-82 school year will be a special one for the Wilkes community. It will be during this time that the college observes its fiftieth anniversary. While this year is a year of planning, next year will be one of celebration. Thomas Kelly, Dean of External Affairs, notes that the anniversary celebration will serve a double purpose: to recognize the founding of Bucknell University Junior College, now Wilkes, and to augment the relationship of the college with its constituents. In response to requests by Wilkes-Barre community leaders, Bucknell University Junior College was founded in 1933. As interest grew, it was decided that a four year institution of higher education was needed in the WilkesBarre area. Bucknell University agreed; in 1947, Wilkes College was established . According to Dean Kelly, two categories of events are planned for the year of celebration. The first is designed to include Bucknell University in the festivities . An inaugural convocation will be held in September, 1982, at which the presidents of Bucknell and Wilkes, the chairmen of both Boards, the entire Wilkes faculty, and the Department Chairmen of Bucknell will participate, in full academic regalia. Other events include intercollegiate athletic contests, faculty interchanges, exchanges of art exhibitions, cultural exchanges, and Presidents'•Treasurers' Meeting Set For Sept. 29 Inside: Presidents' Council p.2 SG President p.6 Neu, Basketball Coach p. 7 Also at the meeti[!g, club leaders will be informed of the procedure for obtaining funds from SC. Other topics on the agenda will be the Social Committee schedule and upcoming activities on campus, the organizations activity _ file devised by Nunez, and publicity rules and suggestions. According to Nunez, the presidents .a nd "treasurers of all organizations which have a charter with SC are requested to attend. Nunez also encourages other club members to attend because of the meeting's importance. She further mentioned th.e success of last year's PresidentsTreasurers Meeting and anticipated an even more successful meeting this year as a result of the large participation in the recent club day. possibly a student interchange. Dean Kelly stressed that the means of faculty and student interchange, and of cultural exchange, have yet to be decided. The second type of event planned involves the college community and the city of Wilkes-Barre. Activities include a Founders Day celebration in September, 1982, and several Wilkes Alumni Symposia, which will deal with topics such as law, health care, business, and education. A history of the college will be written; Al Groh, Director of Cultural Activities, will serve as editor, and Dr. Edward Hartmann will serve as editorial consultant. Dean Kelly added that President Capin had named Community Relations Coordinator John Chwalek coordinator of the anniversary celebration and W. Carey Evans, chairman. Dr. Lou Rigley and Jean-Michel Cousteau are shown during one of their excursions on the May River, investigating the feeding behavior of dolphins. Rigley AndCoastea■ Obsreve Dolphins by Mary Kay Pogar As an animal behaviorist who is active in research, Dr. Lou Rigley of the department of biology has received recognition for his work from his colleagues and students of fish behav ior. Soon, however, Dr. Rigley's work will be appreciated by a much larger audience when a film in which the Wilkes professor appears with Jean-Michel Cousteau and other scientists is released for television . The film, entitled, "Warm Blood of the Sea," will include ten minutes of footage of Dr. Rigley's research, the investigation of the feeding mechanism of dolphins in shallow estuarine marsh. With his wife, Ida, and two Wilhs students, Val Van Dyke and Karen Haring, Dr. Rigley spent about four weeks this ·summer on the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina. As a result of their investigation, they found that the dolphins caught small fish to feed on by chasing them toamud bank and sliding up on the bank to catch them . Dr. Rigley has been working with the Cousteau Societ y for three summers. He is team Direc- · tor for Project Ocean· Search Atlantic, a project designed to determine ways to protect the environment. This year, however, marks the first time hetJisappeared in a film for TV. He feels he is "fortunate to have had an opportunity . to make a Cousteau film." The film will be released for television in January. �Page 2, The Beacon, September 18, 1981 College Hires New Security Com-p any Nunez Proposes ~e.., Council 0/ PresidentL by Thomas Jordan On March 30 of this year Wilkes College hired a new security agency, Globe Security Systems, to patrol the campus.

Knox Plans Negotiations With Park & Lock Director By John Finn The likelihood of a price increase next month for Park &-Lock discount stickers was announced Monday night at the Commuter Council meeting. Joe Knox, President, reported that the price may · rise to $14. 00 per 20 stickers, an increase of $1.00 from th'e lower rate . offered at the end of the· spring semester last year. Knox said he would meet Tuesday, Sept. 15 with Luther Brackell, the city's director of the Park & Lock complexes, and would attempt to negotiate a price reduction . The price increase, which was authorized by · the City CCJ11ncil, was justified as necessary due to spiraling costs of operating the facilities. Because Wilkes students provide the largest single bloc of customers to the Park & Lock South from September to May, the council may have considerable leverage to negotiate for a price decrease. No CC meeting is all sad news, however, and Monday night Bart Bellairs, a new member of -the Wilkes Athletic Department (he says he's not just a coach), introduced his plans for this year's intramural program . "I love to see crazy things," Bellairs said, and suggested events ranging from chess tournaments to mud wrestling (the mud wrestling received a more favorable response from council members). Bellairs is from the University of Illin_ois, and although he is relatively new and still a bit unfamiliar with the Wilkes Campus, he said he realizes the difficulty of involving many commuter students in intramural activities. He is considering having the intramurals on Sundays or during club periods. "They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all," stated Richard Myers, Executive Director of COPUS, "but lr\;ay it is better to have written and Jost· than to have never written at all." Myers was referring to the letter-writing campaign he has •been conducting this semester .as part of: a lobbying effort to·.urge members of Congress to prevent· any further reductions in student financial aid programs . The semester's first Lunchtime Coffeehouse is set for Thursday, September 24. Amy Elias, Coffeehouse Chairman, reported that Tom Rago will perform from 11-1 :00 on the first floor of the Student Center. Admission is free. -··························•·· SAVE $10.00 OFF THE REGULAR PRICE OF YOUR ULTRIUM COLLEGE RINGI LIMITED TIME OFFER!

Few, if any, of these promises are kept once the person is elected to that office. · As she campaigned for the office of Student Government President, Ana Nunez promised to establish an organization composed of all the presidents and heads of the clubs and organizations on the Wilkes campus. Her reasoning behind this was based on the fact that communication between the three main student organizations Student Government, Commuter Council and the InterResidence Hall Council and the remainder of the organizations on campus is · usually poor. She proposed to establish a council which will meet monthly to discuss methods of improving communications and relation- ! ships among the various clubs and organizations. Nunez's campaign promise is likely to become a reality in the near future as she presents her proposal at the annual meeting of the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council on September 29. For Nunez, it will mean the fulfillment of a campaign promise. For the clubs and organizations on campus, it organization and improve their relationships. will mean a chance for clear, open communication.

Thus, Ana views her work as a service which "somebody has to do who wants to do it." Commenting on the service aspect of Student Government, Ana states, "I feel good about what I'm doing. Though this job requires much stamina and is not the kind of job that allows me to wait for applause, I receive much internal gratification for doing it. Personally, I have benefited from Student Government by meeting the challenge of dealing with many people, but most of all,dealing with each person as a unique individual. " In dealing creatively with criticism, in particular, "armchair critics, " Ana states, "Criticism is great if the armchair critics are willing to makethecommitment of action in order to change things for the better.

Recent Hersheypark Trip Exciting For Participants By Doug Fahringer The morning was cold and foggy as students gathered in front of Stark Learning Center, waiting to leave for the third annual Wilkes Day at Hershey Park. The day warmed up and the sun shone the entire afternoon with approx• imately 60 students participating in the exciting day at Hershey. Two school buses were used for the trip with the majority of the Wilkes participants using their own transportation. Not surprisingly, the students quickly made their way to the ever-popular "Super Dooper Looper," "The Comet" or one of Hershey's newest rides, "The Pirate." As the day went on, some tired students stopped at the dolphin and sea lion show to rest and be entertained by the lovable animals. One unsuspecting Wilkes sophomore, Mia Mumford, was volunteered to help feed a dolphin . She was easily persuaded by the animal trainer to put a slimy fish in her mouth. Mumford took the gag well and delighted the entire aqua arena crowd. By 7 p.m. that evening, the exhausted Wilkes students all made their way back to the parking lot to load the buses. This year's trip to Hershey Park was not as successful as those trips in the past; however, the students who took advantage of the trip to "Chocolate Town, U.S.A." all seemed to have a great time.

The Wilkes women played three games, and by the last game one could tell that they had had a long day . The first game featured Wilkes against a tough Keystone Junior College team. This was more or less a warmup game for botlteams as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Defense was the name of the game as both teams found opportunities to shoot at each others goals few and far between. In the second game Wilkes displayed a bit more offense as they defeated Messiah College 1-0. Michelle Weiss displayed excellent stic;k work in moving the ball down the field, and after three shots at the goal, Debbie Cometa hit in the winning tally. Goalie Val Frey had a good game and recorded some brilliant saves. Game three finally saw the Wilkes ladies put it all together. The final score of 3-0 indicates that they played well both offensively and defensively. Freshman Jeanne By Basketball has not only been a big part of James Atherton's life; his life has been a big part of his coaching philosophy. The former Luzerne County Community College basketball coach is truly dedicated to the coaching profession. Now that he is coaching the Wilkes basketball team, we can probably expect to see some changes in this campus sport. The team may undergo some changes, but for the most part, Jim Atherton will remain the same. In twenty-five-years of coaching basketball, James Atherton has been developing an outlook on basketball comparable to an outlook on life. He feels one must have pride and discipline in everything one does . He knows his team may lose to a superior team, but he doesn't want the members to defeat themselves. "I am interested in those who play for me not only as players, but as human beings," he said, adding that this is greatest strength any coach could have, putting aside knowledge of the game. While he has been teaching the sport to players, Atherton has also been learning from them. He said, "Learn to the day you die. In life you either progressor regress. It's Dougherty scored her first and second goals of her college career in leading the Wilkes attack. Another freshman, Kim Kramer, added the other goal. The Lady Colonels kept the pressure on Mansfield throughout the match and kept the action in the Mansfield end of the field. Occassionally the opponents were able to push into Wilkes territory, but co-captain Diane Hall, usually a standout on offense, showed her versatility and played excellent defense to thwart the Mansfield attack. It was a lon·g, hot day for the Wilkes ladies, but the games provided them with experience for the upcoming season .

During his years as coach, James Atherton has learned a great deal, and aiso about hi5 players. He knows that they must strive to ao their best not only in basketball as athletes, but also in life, as people. The point is this: Jim Atherton does not just look at the ability of a player; his analysis goes much deeper. In basketball, as in life in general, these are obsticles to be faced. Most people want to be successful in their life, but many are not willing to truly sacrifice and strive to attain success. Working with his teams, Atherton has not only looked at the ability and quality of his players, but he has examined their willingness to give an honest effort.

The Wildcats of Western Maryland would prove to be a tough opponent; they have been the MAC champions for five consecutive years. Even with a mist of intimidation engulfing them, Wilkes came out fighting. The offensive attack was led by setters Cat_!iy Dudick and Debbie Kramer and hitters Ellen Doty, Sally Fisher, Ellen Van Riper, and freshman Jennifer Golding. On the defensive side, the non-stop blocking of Cathy Dudick, Sally Fisher, and Ellen Van Riper could only temporarily prevent the Wildcats fromscoring. Wilkes was defeated 15-0, 15-1, 15-5, 15-2, and 15-3. Although Wilkes went down in defeat, they still looked very im- Harriers Open 1981Season With Victory pressive both offensively and defensively. The very next day, Saturday, Sept. 12, the team participated in a tournament with the University of Scranton and Allentowm College at the South Franklin St. gym. The Lady Royals of Scranton are always tough competitors for Wilkes, and Saturday proved to be no different. Scranton was tough, but so was Wilkes. Wilkes did a great job on service returns and hitting. Defensive blocking was also very good , but not .good enough to stop Scranton's scoring drive. The Colonettes bowed respectfully to the Royals 15-6, 15-2, and 16-14. When it came time to play Allentown College, the sweet taste of victory was something the team longed to savor after two days of defeat. After falling to Allentown in the first two games 15-8 and 15-6 Wilkes turned on its offensive hitting and defensive blocking machines to beat Allentown 15-12 and 15-13. · After the game Coach Saracino commented, "The girls have worked extremely hard, and I am proud of them and very pleased with their progress. The scrimmages on Friday and Saturday were very tough, and the girls iearned a great deal from them. Our girls realize where their mistakes were and now are working on correcting them. One big factor that has kept the girls going is the fact that they are all well-conditioned athletes." The Wilkes team is looking forward to a tough, but rewarding season. If they continue to play as well as they have been, they will surely repeat last year's championship season. Upcoming games for the ladies are Sept. 21 against Upsala at King's College and Sept. 22 at Scranton. FOOTBALL ACTION Wilkes vs. Colonels Upsala Vikings by Ell_ en Van Riper The Wilkes College cross country team opened its 1981 season with a decisive victory over Elizabethtown College in an away match held on Sept. 12. The final score was 17-38 as new coach Bart Bellairs chalked up his first victory. Wilkes totally dominated the match as they placed six of the top seven runners. Ken Pascoe, senior captain, and Dave Levandoski tied for first. The seventh runner was first-year man Chuck Harris. Bellairs was pleased by his team's showing, but he felt that the meet was not a true test for them . The reasons for his reservations, he stated, were that the top Elizabethtown runner was sick, and also that the program was rebuilding. He commented that . . _ this Saturday's meet against Kings' and Delaware Valley, both strong teams, will provide him with a better indication of his team's orospects for the season. The meet ~ill be run at Kirby Park and is the opening home meet for the team. Cross Country scoring is different than that of most other sports. The idea is to amass tle .., lowest score possible. Each team must have five runners place or they are disqualified . The places have the values of 1 point for first, 2 points for second, and so on . The top five finishes for each team are added together, and a winner is determined.
