Students Participate In National Lobby Day On Monday, March 1, several thousand college students from around the country participated in National Student Lobby Day in Washington, D.C. Among those thousands were 26 studentd from Wilkes. During the day , student delegates attended regional conferences and learned details concerning cuts in Federal funds for college financial aid. They were then given instruc instructions en effective lobbying techniques, and were encouraged to visit the offices of Congressmen and urge them to fight President Rea gan's proposals. The President's budget for Fiscal Year 1983 (which will begin Oct. 1, 1982) includes a 65percent reduction in existing college financial aid. This would completely eliminate several grant and loan programs. The group from Wilkes included members of the Student Government, Commuter Council, · and COPUS (The Coalition of Independent College and University Stu- · dents) , the campus organization that conducted the effort from Wilkes. Financial backing for the bus trip to Washington came from SG, IRHC , and CC. The College administration officially sanctioned the · event so that those attending would be legally excused from classes on Monday. Students Needed A• Tator• by Marian T. Koviack The need for tutors for the YMCA Tutoring Program is critical, according to Mrs. Janjigian , coordinator of the program, and she is asking Wilkes students.for their help . Volunteers tutor for one hour a W<!ek, Monday or Tuesday, between 3 and 7 p.m .. Tutors select the subject which they would li~e College Chapter Of Pi Kappa Delta To Host Tournament by Lisa Gurka The Wilkes College chapter Pi Kappa ,Delta, the National Forensics Honor Society, is hosting this year's provincial tournament . The tournament will be held at the Sheraton Motel in Brandywene, Delaware. There are three levels of membership in Pi Kappa Delta - the chapter, the provincial, and th_e national. Each college or university has its own chapter, according to Darlene Schaffer, Student Lieutenant Governor of the Province of the Colonies. She explained that the province is so so named because it is comprised of of 16 colleges and universities from the original 13 colonies. In order for a student to qualify for PKO membership, he must first have competed in nine rounds of inter-collegiate debate or forensic competition. The student must then be nominated by a member of PKO, and his nomination must be unanimously passed by all PKO members. Once the nomination is passed , the student must then pledge for a period of several weeks. A meeting is held after the pledging, anf the student is voted into the society. However, there is one final steJ? - the student must pass a written exam. Schaffer commented that if the student passes the exam, he is then inducted into Pi Kappa Delta at a special ceremony. "We ')the debate union) like to make it special because we feel we feel it is a special ceremony, and there are PKO rules to be followed. Last year we held a candlelight ceremony at The Station," Schaffer said. As Student Lieutenant Governor, Schaffer must attend all PKO meet.ings on the chapter and provincial levels; handle all student affairs and disputes; and conduct correspondence within the chapters of the province and with the national offices. This correspondence is accomplished through a newsl/etter Schaffer From the early hours of the conference , it was evident that the stu dent turnout far exceeded anyone 's expectations, including those fo Congressmen and the organizations sponsoring the event. Last year, National Student Lobby Day drew approximately 1500 students At the close of the day , well over 4,000 students rallied on the front steps and balconies of the Capitol building, and were addressed by several members of the House and Senate who attacked President Reagan's domestic policies. One major recurrent criticism was that Reagan is making cuts in educastion funding that are disproportionate to other elements of the budget. The speakers also argued that the cuts will, in the near future, begin to prove detrimental to the riation as the pool of well-educated persons diminishes. The crowd intermittenly chanted gans such as "Books, not bombs " and " Hey , Hey , ho , ho , Reaganomics HAS GOT TO GO." Nearly 100 undergraduates from Ohio _attended the lobby session dressed in caps and gowns. At the raliy, one leader of the group ex- _, plained that those students wanted to graduate immediately, because President Reagan 's proposals are made law , they will not be able to finish.:school. Schaffer organized, called The Colonist. The Colonist is published solely by members of the Wilkes Debate 'Union and their coach, Dr. Bradford L. Kinney. Various chapters also submit material for publication, along with "letters to the editor." Kinney commented that this is the most exciting thing that has ever been . done in the province. "There Lave been many letters commending the efforts of Schaffer, and The Colonist itself," he said. Kinney and Schaffer both said that the Provinceds of The Colonies is known as the most "spirited province in the nation." to teach and the age and grade level of the student. Tutors are asked to help students only in the basic areas of the subject. The pupil's school textbook is used and the week's assignments are reviewed . There is no outside work or preparation required of ·the tutor. The only time spent is with the student. Tutoring is done on a one-to-one basis• in all subject areas . "I am in desperate need of chemistry tutors," stated Mrs . Janjigian. The immediate need is also for English, math and foreign language tutors . Pupils are referred to the program by their school, their counselors or local service agencies, such as the Bridge or Help Line. Grade levels range from second through twelfth . A few adults who are studying for their high school equivalency diplomas are also enrolled in the program . The YMCA Tutoring Program is the only tutoring service tha L is available free of charge to the students of the eight surrounding school districts. Students of the College who are interested in tutoring are asked to call the YMCA at 823-2191 and ask for the Tutoring Program . Students should leave their names and telephone numbers. �Page 2, The Beacon, March 5, 1982 IImportance Of Lobbying Grodpl Grows With Threat To Aid by Rebecca Whitman "Reagan Declares War On Education!!! Immediate Action Required." So begins the handout designed to assist students in writing to their Congressmen to protest proposed cuts in next years' education budget. In the face of these cuts, the Wilkes College chapter of COPUS, The Coalition of Independent College and University Students, is geared to do battle, using such weapons as letter campaigns and lobbying efforts . COPUS is a national organization formed in 1974 when tuition costs began their steady rise. Originally called The Coalition of Private University Students, this association was foundei on two basic principles: 1. educational opportunities should be based on ability to learn rather than ability to pay 2. students should participate in decisions which affect the welfare of their school and education. Over 250 private college and universities nationwide belong 'to COPUS. The organization has a full time lobbyist in Washington who, according to Joe Horrox, Executive Director of the Wilkes Col-· lege chapter, "is very much respected on Capital Hill." ment is involved in lobbying efforts. He also expressed his fear that COPUS "will drift back into oblivion when a less disruptive administration takes office." For the present time however, COPUS is deeply involved in a number of activities . Last semester, they called Congressman Nelligan to express student concern over financial aid cuts and undertook the arduous project of mailing letters explaining these cuts to the parents of each Wilkes student. Last week COPUS conducted a "Fight Back" letter-writing campaign and on Monday, March 1, they took a busload of students to Washington for National Student Lobby Day. The day's agenda included a press conference, groups of congressmen speaking on Reagan's proposed cuts, and an opportunity to lobby for financial aid concerns. Though the Wilkes Chapter is currently made up of Political Science majors, Kadke encourages other students to join. "We have a lot of activities available for students to get involved in. There is a constant turnover in membership, due to graduating students." The COPUS office is located on the second floor of the Student Center Building. Formed in 1979, the Wilkes College Chapter of COPUS is the only one in this area. Carl V. Kadke, who in the past has held such offices as Vice-President and Special Projects Director of this school chapter, recalls that the years of the Carter Administration has "a Mayberry RFD atmosphere. There was a Democratic majority in Congress, and things were very slow and laid-back." These years were spent trying to get organized, train students and acquaint the campus with what COPUS was. Kadke remembers "sitting at the COPUS table on Club Day and having 1 student come up the entire day. People assumed it was a _very dry academic thing." However, Kadke states ·that "COPUS is really a lean, mean, lobbying machine." The first major lobbying effort was a 1980 letter campaign against legislation which put certain grants in question. "We had guidelines but no experience," says Kadke, "however, it was considered a success." Also that year COPUS travelled to Harrisburg where "it became apparent that Wilkes could become a leader within the organization." Crediting the present administration with the sudden increase in interest and activity in COPUS, Kadke expressed his pleasure that presently 2 % of total school enroll- the purpose of the Corps is to give members a chance to experience what they will encounter when they enter the Air Force. Weiss plans to pursue an advanced degree at the Air Force in Ohio. Cadet Nazarek, a computer science major, was one of 45 cadets chosen from among 245 nominations from across the country to participate in the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program: Burke stated, "Nazarek is a good role model for the younger cadets to follow ." Nazarek also participated in a Flight Indoctrination Program. Ee received "the highest mark you could get," Burke commented. "He actually flew and got good marks in that." The program involves participants from 12 NATO countries and was started on October 1, 1981. The program is designed to improve "inter-operatability" of the NATO Alliance Air Forces. • • • • "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

Other new happenings for ROTC Wilkes include the selection of Cadet David Nazarek to participate in the EuroNATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program . Weiss, a senior electrical engineering major, was in competition with five other people for the position of commander. Colonel Burke, Commander of the detachment, stated, "All five people were capable, but Weiss was selected because of his leadership qualities, managerial skills, and academic performance." There are 110 members in the Cadet Corps. As Commander, Weiss's responsibilities will include directing his staff in training of members of the Cadet Corps. Burke added, "There is a lot of work involved with this. A lot of people think a commander just tells people what to do, and then sits back and puts his feet up ." Burke contends that this is hardly the case, and that the activities of the Corps are varied. For instance, this year the Corps supported a program which allowed disadvantaged children to go to the circus. Weiss is also planning a program that will prepare members of the Corps who will be going on field training this summer.

But next year will · be different than any other year in the history of the College, · for Wilkes will be celebrating its 50th anniversary as a private institution of higher education. Numerous activities are planned as part of the celebration, incorporating many disciplines and areas of interest on campus. A committee comprised of 6 members of the Wilkes student body has been formed to focus on one of these areas -- Literature and its impact on contemp:irary American society. Chaired by Shelley Freeman , a ~enior and resident of Wilkes-Harre, PA ., the committee's goal is to bring a prominent literary fi~urf' to 1he Wilkes campus in the fa[ I of 1982. The poet , author , or playwright will be asked to de iver a leeture which will be open to the public and Wilkes family . The topic of the lecture, while pertaining to some literary topic, will be one of the speaker's choosing. After months of deliberation and discussion, the committee members have narrowed down their choices to seven well-known and respected authors, playwri_2hts, and poets. Each student on the committee has written to one or more of these literary figures, and the committee is presently awaiting responses. Allother plans, such as specific lecture dates and payment figures, are tentative at this time. The committee's list of possible speakers includes: John Barth, author of numerous novels and short stories including The Sot Weed Factor and Lost in the Funhouse ; Joan Didion, known for her work Slouching Towards JJethlehem and her most recent work, The White Album ; Joseph Heller , who has written a number of novels includin~ the popular Catch 22 and Somethmg Happened; Lillian Helman . · author of The Children's Hour, The little Foxes, and Pentimento, upon which the movie Julia was based. The committee's list continues with Arthur Miller, playwright and novelist known for Death of a Salesman and The Crucible ; among other works; Joyce Carol Oates, a prolific writer of fiction whose works include JJellefleur and Where Are You Going, Where Have You JJeen and Phillip Roth, author of numerous works among which are The Ghost Writer, and Goodbye Columbus. The student 50th Anniversary Committee is asking each writer to consider delivering a lecture and conducting a short workshop for interested students . Cost will be a determining factor if more than one of the above-mentioned artists are willing to speak, for the Committee is working with limited funds. Advisor to the Committee is Dr. Norma Schulman, of the Department of Language and Literature . Proposed Scholarship Changes Discussed During IRHC Meeting· During last Sunday's meeting, the Inter-Residence Hall Council voted to give COPUS $100 for their Lobby Day Trip to Washington on Monday, March 1. COPUS representative Naomi Harris made the official request after outlining the agenda for Lobby Day . The motion was unariimously passed, with one abstention. IRHC President Bill Lourie discussed the proposed scholarship cuts with the representatives. He stated that proposals have been made that would eventually eliminate student leader scholarships. He noted that the presidents of the three student organizations will be offering a counter proposal that would possibly allow student leaders to be put on some type of work study. When asked for feedback, one student commented that cutting the scholarships may result in the loss of "quality people" in the leadership positions .

Institute Provides Coal Industry With Training And Counseling by Marian T. Koviack Once a major industry in our area, the mining of Anthracite Coal now contributes little to our local economy. The Anthracite and Community Development Institute, a newcomer to the College, is designed to aid in the development of an anthracite coal market. In Northeastern Pennsylvania there are at least 12 billion recoverable tons of anthracite buried underground. At the current annual production rate of 5 million tons, the seven-county area could fulfill those production needs for 200 years. Through the Office of Continuing Education, the Institute provides the industry with training programs. Seminar topics range from clarifying the maze of federal and state regulations that govern the industry to preparing individuals for required government examinations. The Institute also provides business counseling to the mining industry in the areas of marketing, advertising and personel management. Counseling is done through the Small Business Development Center of Willces College. Loans are also available to meet the financial needs of the small coal mine operators. The loans are filed through the Small Business Development Center. Acid mine water drainage, mine subsidence, underground fires, culm banks, and open ·pits from surface mining have created a negative image of the anthracite industry in the eyes of some members of the community. A primary goal of the Institute is to change and improve the image of the coal mining business. Working towards that goal is Thomas J. Lynott, director of the Institute. Lynott brings with him experience from a number of different areas. He was formerly the Director of Economic Development in Mount Carmel, PA., and Chief of the Economic Development Commission in Harrisburg. After the Flood of 1972, Lynott worked in Wilkes-Barre with Neighborhood Assistance, an organization involved in recovery efforts. He is owner and president of a third-generation anthracite business, and is familiar with the industry's problems and potential. The .. Institute _ was founded under the auspices ·of The lnstitute of Regional Affairs. The affiliation with the College is a "linkage that ~rovides research facllities , strength and stability," stated Lynott. 0 West Vlrgi-,l • ·s ki Classic -,qins Peagot Gran'd Prix Racing -Tour • ' The West Virginia Ski Pro Classic has joined the Peugot Grand Prix Racing Tour.

The Eastern Tour of the Peugot Grand Prix has a fourteen-race schedule planned that covers the East from Maine to West Virginia. A dozen years ago, the dream of a professional ski race tour became a reality for fans and skiers who thrilled to the ultimate test of the individual against the mountains. Professional racing takes place on a shorter course, visible in its entire length . to the spectator, and includes not only turns that must be negotiated at speeds in excess of 50 miles an hour, but also man-made jumps as high as 6 feet that pose the ultimate test to racer's skill. The pro format abandons the convention of having each racer make his runs alone against the clock. In the pro race, competitors are pitted against one another, making their runs in tandem along courses only a few feet apart. Winners then advance to meet a new opponent, and the top racers eventually meet in a head-to-head format. · This exciting format is especially fun for the spectators . Preliminary elimination rounds will be on Tuesday, March 9, with the finals occurring on March 10.

I was denied these extra monies, of course, because the school's estimated costs fell short of mine. I took my losses gracefully, but recently added, unexpected expenses, coupled with other little annoyances, have forced my period of submissive silence to expire. Spring break approaches and, while everyone else looks forward to this week, there are those of us who look toward it with disgust because this week promises only unplanned-for expe~ses and annoying inconveniences for us . I, like several others, need to remain on campus over spring break while all my fellow Wilkes students get a much needed vacation. Housing requires that all those staying on campus over Break reside in the same residence hall . NOTICE Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services for WCLH-fm, announces that applications are now being accepted for the following positions: Manager Production Director Music Director Sports Director News Director Public Relations Director Positions are also open for interested "Disk Jockeys." WCLH (90.7) is the college- Packing an entire week's worth of clothing and necessities, including linen and groceries, is not an appealing idea, but my annoyance with this chore cannot compare with my annoyance over the fact that not only must I reside in this dorimtory, but I must also go to that residence hall on my own time and ask each girl personally if I may stay in her room. I neither know anyone living in Weiss Hall (this year's appointed dorm), nor have the time to go there and beg. Housing's reply to my problem would probably be that if I want to stay I'll find the time. Bull. I don't want to stay, I am required to stay. My being here in WilkesBarre while everyone else is vaca. tioning is not by my choice btit in response to a need to fulfill my course requirements. I feel apologetic toward the girl who will allow me to use her room and I am sincerely uncomfortable asking for it. Anyway, what if no one agrees to allow me to use her room? I really believe that obtain- dorm and club dues, I have responded to by simply swallowing hard and digging deeper and deeper into my pocket. Now, I have dug so deep there is a hole in my pocket and the college has abandoned me to face more expenses alone with a "providefor-yourself-or-starve" attitude . My allegorical hole in my pocket is very big to me when I must contemplate buying groceries for an entire week. I am trying to understand the school's position . Everyone is moved into one dorm, probably, because of security reasons. But why can't we simply all sleep in one dorm while being allowed to return to our own rooms during the day? A 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. time period in which one may return to his own room would be satisfactory. I really need an arrangement such as this because, as a student teacher, I need access to many books in my room that I cannot transport to another dorm. We are not provided with meals, probably because it would not make sense to employ the food service staff when so few students are on campus. But those of us who are required to rem ain should not be simply abandoned either. My best solution to this problem is that this week be calculated into one's roo m and board for the semester then funds be given back in order that the student will have cash to go grocery shopping. Another suggestion is that we be provided with a •·meal bag" which simply would be a large, week's worth version of the bag lunch . A more popular idea among my friends, however, is that the administration, Housing personnel, and faculty of the department making this requirement of us take turns providing us with meals. Well, when everyone comes back from break ready to show off a Florida tan, I will be showing off a thirty-pound weight loss. That is, of course, unless anyone wishes to send care packages via Weiss Hall. FROM WCLH: owned and student-operated educational FM station.

Aside from the inconvenience is my major complaint: Wilkes' callous abandonment of the few when the majority are not here. Wilkes is not providing for my meals over break even though my remammg on campus is in response to my course requirements. (I am not excused from my duties as a student teacher during break.) Starting out without any extra money, I find myself more than short of cash at this point in the year. I have been hit with fees consistently since I moved in last September. Some of the fees are personal because of my chosen course of study, but others are common to other seniors. These expenses: Graduation fee, Certification fee, ''tests-one-mustt ake-i n -order -to-apply-for-ajob-or-enter-graduate-school" fee besides "luxury" fees such as 'DIALOG' Service Called For To the Editor: An Open Letter to Students, Administration and Faculty, Concerning the Possible Installation of a "DIALOG" Information Retrieval Service at Wilkes College: More than a few students at Wilkes have probably left the library frustrated after having unsuccessfully searched for the latest information about some assigned topic . All the material on the shelves seems to be aging and some of it is hopelessly lost in time. We are not trying to degrade our library in any way; · books are expensive, and it would possibly create further problems to expand shelfspace. There is a solution, however: The "DIALOG" Information Retrieval Service offers · access to millions (I) of references. With DIALOG, it's possible to locate information on any subject imaginable, and the only thing you have to know, is how to type the words or phrases describing your topic. You can search for references by names, authors, companies, publications, dates, etc., and by combining terms, the scope of the information sought can be as broad or narrow as you would like. Furthermore, reprints of the articles etc ., can be ordered directly through your terminal. The information available on DIALOG would, if printed on 8½"xll" paper, made a stack reaching higher than the Empire State Building. There are indexes for newspapers, magazines, education, industry, applied science and technology, social science and the humanities. Also available are business information and forcasts . The average cost for the most used data bases is around $50/hr. This becomes very reasonable when you realize that it doesn't take more than IO min. to make an exhaustive search on any topic, and a simple search can be done in a minute or two. It's staggering to think about not having to wait more than ten seconds for a reply to just about any query. The information you receive can be printed out on the school's printer, or better yet, at DIALOGS own off-line high-speed printer at a cost of about 10¢-25¢ per reference. lf this doesn't suit you, you can order reprints by mail directly form your terminal. The individual cost of usage for DIALOG could be partly subsidized by the school, the . remainder put on the tuition bill. It should be obvious that the relatively small individual cost of the system would, as far as we can see, be more than compensated for. If it is voiced support that the school is waiting for, before it decides to install DIALOG on campus, here it is.

I wondered, however, during the Friday night performance, if the people sitting in the back could hear the soloists since I was forced to strain in order to hear, and I was sitting in thesecond row . Only twice, also, did the staging distract me. One scene had the stage off-balance to me. It seemed as though every character was to the left and there was nothing to the right. This staging created a feeling of things being tipped and nothing in the script suggested that this feeling should be created. The second scene which disturbed me was one in which several characters had their backs turned to the audience facing the main character in the center of the stage. The problem was that it was hard to see what the main characters were doing. Overall, I felt the performance was well done. The simpleness of the sets added to the performance, whereas an elaborate set would by Lisa Cobb Mistakes happen. Someone forgot to give a warning flicker of the lights to call the audience back from intermission and then to compensate, turned the house lights after the performance had begun in order to provide lighting for all the people stumbling down the darkened aisles. There was some distracting noise as the set behind the curtain was changed while a scene was taking place in front of the curtain. Still, the mistakes were insignificant to the overall performance. Admittedly, if the audience came to Wilkes' Theater's production of 110 In the Shadeeapecting a deep, meaningful play, it was disappointed . The play itself offered only cliche-like insights and entertainment . If the audience sought a good entertaining performance, it found what it sought .

It was not overdone to force a sense of "countryness" on the audience. The characters appeared to be natural, not set up. The acting was never overdone or too dramatic. The actors made their parts believable. Wilkes Theater presented the play as the storyline dictated : simple, straight forward entertainment . To have expected anything more is to lack an understanding of the play. I considered this a good performance and I am looking forward to Wilkes' next offering.

"Music will become a philosophy again as it did in ~e '60s." -; - · "I think music is going to become less of a tranquilizer for the masses and become more of a message carrier like it,was in the 1960s," James Destri, keyboard man of the rock group Blondie, predicts; - r:.., ...: ', . ,.. Blondie drummer Clement Burke compares it " to a record playing over and over. I mean it's cyclical and the same sound · is heard again and again." Destri and Burke explained the cycles in an interview with the "Erlanger Rock Classics To Come" radio series, sponsored by Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company. "The '80s are the ' 60s all over again. We have a conservative regime in office again, and youth is going to wake up again," Destri says. f Burke also se~s a, re~ti~i~~ ~ the sound. "The thing that's happening to music now is the black influence," he says. "The mixture of black and electronic meeting somewhere in the middle is what we' ll continue to hear for the next few years." In fact, Destri and Burke say that Blondie's roots are black. "1 don't think there would have been a Blondie if there wasn't a Supremes or a Motown sound," Destri says. "Obviously, the Blondie sound has changed, but I think that was necessary because of the imitators or emulators," Burke adds. "There was a tremendous backlash in new wave music and, instead of people trying to be original, they' re trying to copy what is proven hitwis~ " Destri explains this return to the '60s as part of a never-ending cycle. He describes this unique evolution that he believes will take place in the next 10 years. "Music is going to have a very strong influence again," he said. " The leading artists coming out . - He sees Blondie as "a truemelting pot group in that we assimilate various styles and incorporate them into the Blondie sound." Baf Blondie has never been a typical rock band. The band has had an identity crisis of sorts because former Playboy model and lead vocalist Deborah Harry is generally considered to be Blondie. "Would the Rolling Stones have been any less a band if they were called The Big Lips, which is Mick Jagger's biggest trait?" Destri wonders in reply to questions about the effect of the confusion. "Everything has worked out for Blondie as we had pictured in our wildest fantasies," Burke says. "We were prepared for what' s happened over the past five years, so we took for granted how popular Debbie would become." "In fact," Destri asserted, "Debbie became such a label that we were instantly recognized." . What has happened is success after success and the group's expansion into movies ("Union _City Blue" and "Roadie"), and the sound track for the movie "American Gigolo." The title song from that movie, "Call Me," was Billboard magazine's number one single of 1980. " 'American Gigolo' was a big ,l SHOP 9 W. Northampton St. Wilkes-Barre.

The Lady Colonels were plagued all season by their own lack of experience, but as if that was not bad enough , they also had to contend with bad breaks, poor officiating, and an obvious lack of fan and school support. The end result numerically was a 6-12 record; however, it was not a proper indication of the way the team played . A few good breaks, and it could have been 10-8. Despite the dismal record, the dedication, courage, and intensity of the team leaves all associated with it a ray of hope for next season . Coach Roberts has been attempting to build a strong program at Wilkes, and s,be has virtually started from scratch . Through her efforts in the past two years, she has attracted some quality players to Wilkes. The result has been . a young, but talented team, which lacks experience and numerous defeats. Luckily, with time inexperienced team's become experienced, so there should be improvement in the future. In addition to recruiting, Coach Roberts has made efforts to upgrade the schedule. No longer does the schedule include such teams as LCCC and Misericordia . This past season's line-up featured Elizabethtown, the number one Division III team, Scranton, ,(ing's, and a host of Division II schools such as Bloomsburg and East Stroudsburg. There were no "easy" games on the schedule . Such internal problems are common to many teams, but those of an external nature are not. One ► ' the second leading scorer at 17 per game. Her rebounding average was good for second place on the NCAA Division III list. She also led the team with 35 blocked shots and with a 44 .2% field goal mark . In addition Kim also broke two school records in rebounding . In February of 1980 Lynn Yedlock pulled down 19 versus Juniata, but Kim eclipsed that mark with 21 this season against Lycoming. In that same year Yedlock set the season record of 268 . Kim established a new record of 285 . If Kim keeps up the pace, she should break the career record of 600 which is also held by Yedlock sometime within the next two years. Charlene Hurst led the team in scoring with a 20 .5 average in this her first season. An all-around "annot blindly judge a team by its record alone, for it does not truly reflect the way the team played . It is necessary to watch a few games, but, unfortunately, few people did this past season. The home-court advantage is keyed upon fan support, but all too often the Lady Colonels played in a virtually empty Wilkes Gym . In eesence all their games were on the road this season. This was a disappointment to Coach Roberts, and she commented that "they have been representing the blue and gold and have been waiting for the blue and gold to represent them ." She also felt that the team was unfairly judged by people who were non-athletes, and she said that "people who do not recognize the achievements of this year's team have never had athletic experience. " She further emphasized that "anyone who has been an athlete can appreciate how hard it is to play, especially when there is a lack of school support." Despite this problem , the Lady Colonels played tough and gave it their all against each and every · opponent. It took guts to perform despite the lack of support. Coach Roberts has nothing but respect and admiration for her inexperienced, yet dedicated, team. Each player on the team whether she played or not was important to the team . Everybody supported everybody else. Individually each player performed well, but two stood out from the rest. The first was sophomore center Kim Smith, and the second was freshman guard Charlene Hurst. Kim led the team in rebounding with a 15.8 average, and she was Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley. by Mark James Three Wilkes College wrestlers will be traveling to Iowa State next week to compete in the NCAA tournament by virtue of their performances at the EIW A tournament last week at Lehigh.

Statistic,ally, Stacy Kelley did not have an outstanding season, but she was still an important member of the team. Stacy was the catalyst whieh got everything else going. Her hustle, rebounding, and heads up piay were, according to Coach Roberts, a valuable asset to the team. A junior, Stacy also provided the team with a sense of leadership . These kinds of individual performances typify the talent which the Lady Colonels possess .

In_ a national tournament, you can't tell what cari happen. The competition will be very good." In the finals of the eastern tournament, Kris Rowlette lost to Bob Weaver of Lehigh, 17-7. In the semi-final bout, Rowlette .beat Army's Bob Turner by a 5-3 score. Rowlette will take a 19-6 overall record to the national tournament. "Most people didn't. think Kris would do as good as he had done. He really had a fine year." coach Reese stated. "He made a big improvement this year and worked very hard . . . he had a great year." Lenny Nelson lost in the final match against Bill Sweazey of William and Mary by a 5-2 score after defeating Don Schlecher of Navy, 5-2. "Lenny wrestled very well all through the tournament, but not during the finals. I thought he would beat Sweazey," Reese said. The coach said he felt Nelson was a better wrestler, but also said Nelson was tight, and not relaxed during the match . "He handled everyone very easily until the finals." The win put Nelson's overall slate at 23-4-1. At 150, Mark Popple lost to Gary Siegel of Syracuse in the quarterfinals but came back in the consolation bouts to take third place. "He and Siegel have known each other for years, they wrestled against each other in high school. Siegel. knew all of.

Seoul's first public tennis court opened in 1971 ; today there are about 120 tennis clubs in Seoul alone. And in 1950 only a few hundred Koreans played golf, compared with about 50,000 at present.

"I think we had a good year, but the difference between a good year and an exceptional year is to get those two pointers and three pointers," he said. Atherton was well aware of how the season progressed . He knew the Colonels lost 9 of their last 13 games, beginning with ~ loss to Scranton and ending with a loss to King's in a special playoff to decide which second place team will continue toward the MAC playoffs. He knew the Colonels went into the meat of their schedule beginning with that first Scranton game. After losing to the Royals, Wilkes had a few key injuries, namely Paul Scaliti the day after the game and Tony Madden not long after that . Two days lat.er the Colonels lost to Elizabethtown on the road, and two days after that, they lost at King's. Wilkes came back home and beat Delaware Valley, the last place team in the division. Then . came the loss to a tough Philadelphia Textile team. Then the loss to Susquehanna on the road. . There was another breath of fresh air with a win over a weak Lycoming team at home, but a few days later the Colonels lost on the road to Muhlenberg. Two days later Scranton came to town. As in the first game, Wilkes was in the game during the first half, but Scranton blew the Colonels away in the second. "Scranton has a good thing going for them," Paul Scali ti explained. "They have the ability to run off 12 · straight points to knock a team out of the game and that's what happened to us . They have the ability to explode." Going into the next game, FDU Madison, the Colonels had lost their firm grip on second place in the MAC. Wilkes won, but a couple days later the Colonels hosted a tough division two team, Bloomsburg, and lost. Wilkes finished the regular season with a win over Philadelphia Textile away and a crucial win over Juniata at home. The special playoff loss to King's, after holding a 14 point halftime lead, meant the end of the season for Wilkes. It was topsyturvy sort of season for the Colonels. Tough losses on the road were followed by home contests against teams the caliber of Bloomsburg State, Philadelphia Textile, and Scranton. It was all too clear to Coach Atherton, but some speculation about this season was bothering him . He mentioned hearing falk that the Colonels weren't a secondhalf team . In the games against Scranton, and in the last game against King's, this is true. For the rest of the season, though, the scorebook tells a different story. Wilkes did better in the second half. Four of the Wilkes victories were by four points or less. Six of the Colonels 10 losses were by a total of .18 points, Atherton noted, but in four of those games "we had the last shot," he said . "They were nothing to sneeze at, they were good clubs we lost to. " It's so easy to blame a loss on an injury or this and that, " Atherton explained. "I think it was a combination of things . As a coach, I don't want to blame anything on injuries or breaks or playing away. " "Right after the Scranton game was when we started to plummet." Scaliti explained. "We were ranked 16th in the nation, and we were on top of the world, and we saw by 1\1ark James to recruit for future seasons, but there will be more gaps to fill with the departure of this year's seniors. He will be looking for a guard and a front line, and, he explained, ,"We're looking for someone to come in and play immediately as a freshman .'' The coach has his work cut out for him. One thing that may make recruiting and coaching more successful for him would be the exist · ance of a Wilkes junior-varsity basketball team . COACH ATHERTON AT WORIC Basketball Coach-James Atherton, who finished his first season at Wilkes, will be concentrating on his "second season," recruiting now that competition has ended. Atherton is shown here with •his team during a time-out. Colonel Icemen Lose In Playoffs by Chris Baron The Wilkes hockey cluh ·s team season came to an unexpected end last Tuesday night at the Coal St. Rink. The team was eliminated from the Northeastern Pa. Hockey League playoffs during the first round of competition. They lost 4-1 to the University of Scranton, a team they had beaten consistently throughout the regular season . Co-captain .Slake Batterson explained, "We weren't sharp ; we had a week and a half layoff and I think that hurt us. " Batterson continued, "Scranton came to win . They were hitting hard right from the start. When we finally got it together in the last period it was too late." The team finished the . season with a 10-6-2 record. Hockey differs from other Wilkes sports in that it is not a college-sanctioned sport. The team " Theformation of a junior uarsity program may neuer materialize either, but... " Sidelines Head Basketball Coach James Atherton came into his position in somewhat of a disadvantage last summer. He inherited a team with talent, but he also inherited some problems. Atherton was selected after the recruiting season was . as good as over. Because of this, the gaps in the lineup left by the departure of point guard Pat McCue and leading scorer Mike McCarrie were left unfilled , for the most part . This year , Atherton will be able the opposite end too quickly. We were scrambling until the end of the season, and all that scrambling caught up to us." Scaliti also noted that "we had more talent than any other team with the exception of Scranton. We definitely had more talent." "The second season starts right now," Atherton said, "and that's to get the guys in, we have to work on that . What we're looking for is some athlete that has the potential to play college basketball. Some kids are just coming into their own; they haven't reached their peak." The Colonels never reached their peak this year. Next year, Wilkes will need a few players tci fill the gaps left by the departures of Kevin Walker, Tony Madden, Pat Romich, and possibly, Paul Scaliti, an academic senior with one year o~ eligibility remaining. "It would be something that I think would be very beneficial," Atherton said. "I think it would help. Most every team in the league has a JV team.' This year, six out of ten teams in the MAC Northwest had junior varsity teams. One team , Juniata, didn't have one this year because of a lack of players, but will have one next year. Another team. FDU Madison, had just dropped it ~ junior varsity prograp:i . In a telephone interview, FDU 's is comprised mostly of Wilkes students although there are some alumni players·on the squad . They do not receive any direct funding from the college. In the past few years Student Government has paid for the teams ice time which accounts for about half of the total cost of running the team . Money for equipment, uniforms and paying officials comes solely from the players. Team leadership is also a shared responsibility. Tom Mitchell, Blake Batterson and John Phillips served as tri-captains · and were also the three scorers respectively. This three-way playercoach arrangement provided some · distinct advantages. Batterson explained, "Because we are involved in the action we can spot problems and try new tactics." The drawback to this type of ~op decision-making process was obvious to Batterson, "In pressure situations it woult! be good to have a single coach who could sift through ~verything and make a final decision. Sometimes it's hard dealing with players who are also your peers." Even without a head coach or guaranteed college funds the team continues to have successful seasons because enough interest exists among the players. The hockey team provides a good example for other college organizations who may soon be faced with monetary cut backs.

ROTC Announces New Scholarship Program by Thomas Jordan The Air Force ROTC has a new scholarship program, called the 'Hip Pocket' scholarship. The scholarships are called 'hip pocket' because Colonel Burke, Commander of the detachment, is in charge of handing them out. With the other scholarships, it has to go before an Air Force board. Burke stated, "With this program I can give them (scholarships) to the · person right away." There are four scholarships to be given away: two three - year scholarships and two two - year scholarships. There are three requirements for the scholarships. A student must have a grade point average of 2.5, pass an Air Force officers test, and pass a physical exam that the Air Force will pay for. Burke added, "If I can give out all four, I can go back and get more. And I would like to give out as many as I can at Wilkes." Two of the scholarships, a two year and three-year scholarship, are designed for current Sophomore and Freshman electrical engineering major. The other two scholarships are for current freshman or sophomore technical majors, such as chemistry or physics. The people with a technical major will be sent to navigator school. After being commissioned, an engineering major can go on to receive his Masters degree at the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright/Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. According to Burke, "Over the past couple of years a few of our cadets have gone to the _ Institute of Technology. In fact, one cadet is waiting for word now. And I thirik he'll be accepted ." Burke feels that "this is one of the best things that can happen for the Air Force." He also hopes that this program will increase the number of cadets in the ROTC. This provides a different opportunity for some people to finance their own education. The scholarship includes everything except room and board. Also, students do not have to worry about the cost of college going up because the Air Force will pay for it. "Financing your own educatio, . can be very rewarding for an individual," according to Burke. Burke used ll four-year scholarship to pay for college himself. This is a positive alternative for people who want to finance their own educations. The 'hip pocket' scholarship program is brand new. Colonel Burke received the letter explaining the program just two weeks ago. Burke restated, "The sooner I can get people qualified, the sooner I can get more scholarships. And I'd like to give out as many as I can." Anyone interested in the 'hip pock~t' scholarship program should 'talk to Colonel Burke or Major Fox at the ROTC building. 'Kinney'• Kids' Win 12 Trophies Speakers Compete In Tournament Another milestone was set this past week when the Wilkes College Public Speaking unit participated in the second Henry Rutgers Speech Tournament, sponsored by Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. At this tournament, which drew fifteen colleges and universities, the Wilkes Public Speakers won 12 trophies for the College. Each speaker on the team won at least one trophy. This was the first time that every member of the team was victorious. Dr. Bradford L.

His first was in Improvisational Pairs (a dramatic interpretation event) where he and his partner won a fifth-place finalist award. His second was a fifth place trophy in Communication Analysis, or Rhetorical Criticism. Senior Debate Captain Fred Deets also placed in the Rhetorical Communication competition with a strong third-place finish. Darrell Lewis won his first trophy in his collegiate career in the Impromptu Sales Division.

He had to make important decisions in which he had to remind himself to put aside his personal feelings.

He enjoyed everything, especially the contact he had with so many students and the number of good friends he made. He mentioned that he does plan to run for the Permanent Class President because now that he has worked so hard for the class, he wants to continue to work for the Class of '82.

OTHER COURSES AVAILABLE c SPORTING GOODS Nelson lost to Randy Conrad of Iowa State, 6-2. "Lenny wrestled very well," coach Reese said. "He went up against some very outstanding competition." Mark Popple scored one of the three fastest victories in the tournament when he pinned Rick Rindfuss of Kentucky in 55 seconds in his opening bout. The win was Popple's 28th of the year, which ties a school record for overall victories in a season. Popple also holds the records for most dual decisions and most dual meet victories. In his second bout, Popple was pinned by Roger Frisell of Oklahoma State in 4:30. Afterward he lost to Roper, who was the champion at 158 one year ago in the Wilkes Open. "Mark Popple had a very difficult draw," Reese explained. Kris Rowlette was ahead in the first period against Schultz, Resse noted, but "he got caught on two throws and that was the end of the match." "The biggest thing that comes out of it is getting there and competing. Just getting there is quite an achievement ," Reese said. "They came out of it with the attitude that they're going to work very hard to get there next year. " If this season is any indication, the future picture looks bright. Nelson, Popple, and Rowlette are all Juniors. KEEFERS.ARMY & NAVY Chuck Robbins... ~- Across from Bishop Hoban MCAT •LSAT •GMAT SAT ·DAT ·GRE •CPA by Mark James For the first time since 1969, Wilkes College has a wrestling AllAmerican. In the NCAA tournament held at Iowa State last week, Lenny Nelson defeated Eastern Champion Bill Sweezy of William & Mary to place eighth in the nation in the 142 pound class. Mark Popple just missed All American honors at 150 after losing to Missouri's Wes Roper by a slim 2-1 margin. Kris Rowlette was eHminated from the competition after losing in his first bout to Tim Schultz of Northern Michigan in the ll8 pound class. In the EIWA tournament, Nelson had lost the championship to Sweezy by a 5-2 score, In· the national tournament, he avenged that loss by pinning his opponent in 1:26. ~ In earlier competition, Nelson defeated ACC champ Buddy Kerr of Virginia 4-1 in his first bout. Next, he defeated 6th seeded Mick Langlier of North Dakota 8-2. Langlier had a 40-4 overall record. After defeating Langlier, Nelson went up against third seeded Johnny Selmon of Nebraska. He had been defeated by Selmon earlier this year and the same held true in the national competition. Selmon dominated the bout, 23-5. Nelson came back after this match to defeat Sweezy. _· In his final confrontation, their unity. The successes which the team have had so far this year and some · fine individual performances are among the best-kept secrets on this campus. How many people know or even care that the volleyball team had the winningest record during the fall or that both the spikers and the field hockey team made the MAC playoffs? How many know or can comprehend the achievements of the basketball team? Sure, they lost, but they never let go of that competitive spirit. · Individually, · Diane Hall and Helen Gorgas from the hockey team, and Cathy Dudick from the volleyball team were honored as first team All-MAC selections. There were many other fine individual performers, and it is a shame that so few know about them. Every female athlete on this campus should be commended for competing in such obscurity. Granted competition is rooted in a love for the game, but that love can carry one only so far. All of this brings us back to THE GAME which was played at the gym. The idea was a novel one, but it is popular among the athletes. Proof of this is the fact that this "Challenge Series" will continue tonight when the field hockey team meets the basketball team in a game of volleyball. Only unity such as that displayed by the Letterwomen could manifest itself in competitive, yet fun, games like ' these. On paper the cagers look like an easy winner due to an obvious height advan~age, but there is one thing for sure, one never knows -about those Lady Colonel teams.

The concert was held on Monday, March 15 . According to Treasurer Al Wirkman, of the $2000 allotted by SG for the concert, only $500 was returned in ticket sales both to students and the community. SG President Ana Nunez commented that she was pleased with the turnout, and especially with the large amount of students who attended the concert . ''Fl'bm how well the concert was received, "she said, " it felt like there was over 500 people in the audience. ' ' A number of fund requests were brought before the Student Government Monday night. In a second reading, the Society of Women Engineers requested $1 79 in order for five people to attend a conference at MIT. The conference , besides giving students an opportunity to present their papers , will allow them to meet with prospective employers. The request was passed, 21 -1-0. The Earth and Environmental Science Oub requested $1 75 to help defray costs for seven people who plan on attending the New England Environmental Conference. This request was passed unanimously. In a first readin_g, the Psychology Honor Society (Psi Chi) and the Psychology Club requested $175 for a conference in Baltimore, MD. The two organizations had planned to submit separate requests, but after a discussion with SG's Executive Council, it was decided that one combined request would be submitted. The conference will give students the opportunity to meet with graduate school representatives and present papers. Concerning student leaders' scholarships, Nunez stated that after meeting with the Board of Trustees, a proposal was developed for the eventual phase-out of the scholarships. SG,CC and IRHC Presidents currently receive a full scholarship. In 1982-1983, this will be cut to 1/3 scholarship ; in 1983-1984, it will be cut to ½ scholarship , and in 1984-1985, it will be cut to ½. For the 1985-1986 school year, there will be no scholarships offered for these positions. The line item budget requisitions for next year have been submitted, according to Wirkman. He also announced that any organization that had not submitted a budget requisition to him will not be considered for next year's budget. The Student Government/Commuter Council Presidential Forum will be held on Tuesday, March 30. April 1 will be the Nunez stated that SG will be accepting nominations for President at the next mPeting on Monday, March 29 . Two constitutions have been passed by SG, and the organizations are the Wilkes College Fine Arts Association and the Wilkes College First Aid Squad. Members of COPUS are circulating petitions voicing their concern •over President Reagan's proposed cuts in Student financial aid. The petitions will be presented to Congressman James Nelligan during Regional Lobby Day . Students are asked to participate in this campaign, but are cautioned to sign a petition only once. Today is the last day COPUS will be conducting voter re~istration on campus. The registration is for Luzerne County residents _only. Communications Studies Instructor Sought by Marian T. Koviack The Department of Language and Literature is currently looking for a full-time assistant professor in Communications Studies for the fall of 1982. The Department is searching for someone with a Ph.D. in Communications to teach broadcasting and production courses. The individual will also assist in the further development of the communications program . The Department advertised for the position last fall but, according to Dr. Thomas Kaska, Chairman of the Department of Language and Literature, the lack of a possibility for tenure hindered the search. This time the position offers a tenure tract. That means Rear Admiral Eugene J. Carroll, an outspoken critic of the nuclear arms race, will present a lecture next Thursday evening, April 1, .at 7:30 in Stark Learning Cent~r, Room 101. Carroll, who retired from the navy in 1980, is now the deputy director of the Center For Defense In.formation, a private agency in Washington, D.C. which studies and analyzes United States defense policies. In recent months, Carroll has attacked President Reagan's foreign policy and national security objectives, claiming they are more likely to cause a nuclear conflict th1ID to deter one. the position can become permanent. Kaska said the hiring of another person is "an important step forward for the program." The number of students enrolled in the program is increasing, and there is a need to expand the program. "When the time is right, Communications might even become a separate department, " said Kaska. Hiring a new communications professor will also present problems . Kaska stated that the Department will have to "work hard to keep our present media contacts . We want to maintain a balance between academicians and professionals in the field." The advertisement for the position has just been placed and no one has been interviewed at present.

In a time when government support of the arts has been reduced, and when existing government and corporate support has become channeled into highly visible and well established areas such as museums, symphony orchestras, and public broadcasting, Datsun has increased its support to young filmmakers who traditionally receive little financial aid and who find the film industry the most dif_ficult to enter. "Each year, the FOCUS Awards offer an opportunity for student filmmakers to bridge the gap to professional status," asserted Joe Opre, Datsun's Director of Advertising. He pointed to the success of several recent winners: Albert Magnoli, of the University of Southern California, won first place in the filmmaking and editing categories for his film Jazz · and was subsequently signed to write and direct an independent theatrical feature film; Peter Ladue of Boston University, in collaboration with Roland Halle, the first place FOCUS '80 winner for the documentary fil m Karl Hess: Toward Liberty, subsequently won the 1981 Academy Award for Best Documentary - Short Subject. Mr. Ladue now teaches at Boston University and Mr. Halle was just nominated for another Academy Award for his film Urge To Build. Datsun's search for young filmmaking talent and its encouragement is broad. Opre noted, "Over the past five years FOCUS has awarded $239,000 in scholarships and awards to 53 students from 31 universities nationwide and has received entries from every state." Awards this year will add $65,000 to the total. In addition to underwriting the FOCUS Competition, Nissan/Datsun contributes additional corporate support to the college market by providing prints of winning FOCUS films to any university wishing to include these packages as part of its student activities program . . This year, two new major corporate sponsors, Columbia Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis Corporation, have joined FOCUS as co-sponsors.

As Copy Editor, I page, this letter is addressed could certainly have used your help correcting the to you. I always sign my letters, so at least you '11 know sometimes unintelligable contributions we receive. I who /am. would have deeply valued As Copy Editor of The your assistance editing the Beacon, I can appreciate the varioys notices, antrouble you took to correct nouncements, news items, our mistakes. As an English major and student of feature articles, sports columns, play reviews, perEnglish grammar, I was imsonal interviews, letters to pressed with yourknowledge of grammar and your ability the editors, student government updates, editorials, to catch the minor (and maguest editorials, and ads that jor) errors which slipped by (which?) arrive on my desk us. It is gratifying to know every Friday, and which that at least one person at must be edited and set for the printer by Tuesday. I really , would have been grateful if you had lent me a hand on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 a.m., when 3/4 of The Beacon arrives as late copy to be given, edited, to the printer by 9:00 a.m. I could have used your help at Wednesday-night layout, when every typeset article (the entire content of The Beacon) must be reread and corrected, letter by letter, with razor blades and scotch tape. I really would have appreciated your assistance at 11 :30 p.m. on these Wednesday nights, when articles which never made it to the printer are being typeset in the Beacon office, among the chaos of layout. I would have loved for you to help me on Friday, when the entire routine started all over again. By the way, did you know that three of the four articles that you corrected were typeset at our office by myself or our Assistant Feature Editor? I apologize for the numerous errors on '~inney's Kids' Praise Beacon To The Editor: In lieu of the financial difficulties plagueing Wilkes, the disgruntled attitudes of students, faculty and administration, alike, and the seemingly pessimistic outlook for the future of the college fo general, one can only wonder, "Is there anything 'positive' about Wilkes College?" We, the members of the Debate Union, feel that there are many 'positive' aspects to our college, and certainly one of those aspects is The Beacon. As we try to spread the good news of Wilkes College externally through our travels, it is The Beacon that helps to spread this message internally . We work long hours striving for professional and personal excellance and we know what true dedication to a cause is. Like us, you perhaps feel that no one really cares or appreciates what it takes to produce success . We do! In the Debate Union there are no individual winners to bask in the limelight when the awards are given out. Rather, it is Wilkes College that receives all the recognition, while we get the deep satisfaction of having achieved or goals successively. We suspect that putting out a newspaper like The Beacon is analogous to our Forensic/Debate competitions. As .our team researches, writes, and delivers our speeches, you have the responsibilities of reporting, writing and typesetting your news stories. This doesn't take into consideration all of the unknown or unaccountable hours you and your staff put in, taking the paper from the printer to the various distribution locations. Then what happens when Joe College picks up his copy of The Beacon? Chances are that he reads the articles that fit his fancy and he feels good, but if the articles don't appeal to him then The Beacon is critized for not having interesting articles that are to inform the student body. The students aren't the only ones to point the finger of blame: even the faculty and the administration in some cases only look at The Beacon to see the grammatical errors or to complain that you have misquoted or misrepresented them . We empathize with you over your cuts in scholarships (we have never gotten any) and in your operating funds (we too, work on a shoe-string budget and know just how difficult it is to run a successful program), but we feel that Wilkes College is a better institu- tion because of you, your staff and all of your hard work . It is true that we don't usually write a letter of this nature, but for once we felt it was time to give credit to one of the unsung heros of Wilkes College, The Beacon. As we attempt to create a image of excellence to high schools and other colleges on behalf of Wilkes College, it is The Beacon that helps to polish this image on campus . You are the "invisable voice" of this college, while we are the "visable voice." So among all the insults, budget cuts, frustration and the long hours of hard work, "Kinney's Kids" would like to add a muchneeded and rightfully-deserved round of applause. The Beacon is needed and wanted, and as long as there are .people as dedicated as you, 'The ~.Iieacon ··will survive , regardless of all the adversity. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! With Respect, "KINNEY'S KIDS" (Wilkes College Debat«l Union) both our behalfs. Because we were given minimal instruction on the new $18,000 typesetter, which was donated to the college only a few months ago, and because we are still inexperienced typesetters, and because most of the articles were typeset after 10:00 p.m. Wednesday night at layout, there were num. erous errors in the articles and little time to correct them. If we had had more reporters, the articles could have been written and typeset earlier. Thank you, however, for voicing your concern and letting us know that once in print, the articles were, at least, read. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to stop by the Beacon office Tuesdays between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. These are my office hours, and I would enjoy meeting with you during this time period to discuss any suggestions you may have concerning The Beacon and how it can be improved. I would also encourage you to become a member of our staff - even Dialog Seruice Bohning Qualifies Claims To The Editor: In a recent letter Barsoum and Borgstrom have suggested that it would be valuable to have Dialog available on the Wilkes College campus . While I would support that request, I would also point out that they have presented an incorrect and overly simplistic description of Dialog and its usage . For example, · 1. Dialog cannot replace a library. Any computerized information retrieval system is only as good as the data base that it relys on, and in many areas there are limitations in these data bases. 2. Total reliance on a Computer to answer information questions would be an absurdity. Instead, the computer is only part of a total information retrieval system . The chemistry department currently requires all majors to complete a 3-credit course on chemical information retrieval. We have a Dialog account which is used for instructional purposes, but this constitutes only a small I encourage you to think about the position of Copy Editor in the future. If you aren't available to meet with me between 1 :00 and 3:00, you can call Ext. 379 or Ext. 418 and leave your name and phone number. I will contact you immediately upon receiving the message, and will be happy to arrange a meeting time with you. I cannot contact you, because you did not do me the courtesy of giving me your name. I will note that there are appropriate channels through which you can voice your opinions to our staff. We are not hard to talk to, and we welcome your ideas. However, we do work very hard, and we deserve the courtesy that you would bestow on any fellow student. Please bear in mind, when you criticize The Beacon as you did in this instance, that you are not helping us to make it any better; an anonymous note that is obviously meant to rudely criticize our work generally will be ignored by the staff. portion of the course . 3. Dialog is not for the novice. Government, industrial, or academic libraries which have Dialog also have information specialists who work with the individual to construct and perform the actual search. Even these experts would have difficulty in making "an exhaustive search within 10 minutes." 4. Dialog is expensive. While there is no charge for an account number, there is a charge for every second of telephone and computer time used . From personal experience, even a brief search of a few minutes can produce a biil of over $50.00, not including an offline prints that might · be made . Also, off-line prints are generally bibliographic citations and not • full reprints of desired articles. While the latter are avail able, they are much more exp«msive.

Bohning Professor and Chairman Department of Chemistry �Page 6, The Beacon, March 26, 1982 Kirby And Weckesser Halls, Buildings Stand As Monuments To Owners belonging to two of the wealthiest families in the country, are now both major centers of activity for Wilkes College. Today, Weckesser Hall houses the office of the president of the college and other administrative offices where before it was a girls' dormitory. A gift from its owner Frederick J. Weckesser, the building, in its unique architectural style, stands as a reminder of the industrial and mercantile strength by Doug Fahringer Have you ever wondered what life was like during the Victorian Age? Was it really the impressive grandeur and stylism that we've become accustomed to believe? Well, if buildings could talk, perhaps Weckesser Hall or even Kirby Hall could relate a few stories about the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These beautiful structures, once of Wyoming Valley . Kirby Hall, symbolic of Bucknell Junior College, still remains bustling since its donation in 1941 by Mr. Allan P. Kirby, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Kirby, the former residents. The Kirby and Weckesser families were to become associated together not only in the community but with their professions as well . Fred Morgan Kirby, American merchant and banker was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1861. In 1884, he moved to Wilkes-Barre and opened his first five-and-dime store under the name of Woolworth and Kirby. In 1887, he acquired C.S . Woolworth's share in the store and reorganized it as F.M. and W. Kirby , the "W" standing for "William, " his father. In 1912, Mr . Kirby was operating 96 stores east of the Mississippi River and it was in this year that he joined forces with the F.W. Woolworth Company becoming vice president. Kirby's life was one of unceasing philanthropy - a characteristic when he was a $4-a-week store clerk as it was when he became one of the world's richest men . Facing South River Street, Kirby Hall houses the Language and Literature and Speech Departments and the newly-added Academic Support Center. Donated to Wilkes in 1941, Kirby Hall was at one time the college library. Mr. Weckesser was born in Clayton, New York, of German parents. At the age of ten, he entered the world of business, working before and after school hours in a general store. Later, DRABBLE ® by Kevin Fagan NORMAN~ lu"A1~ wRON&? 1'1-tl~I<, fAfRICK ... WHA'fS 'fME lllOR51 'f~IN& 'f\.\Ai" COVL.0 M~PfEN AT COLLE&E.? Weckesser Hall, in its majestic gothic style, is the site of the college's administrative offices. At one time the house provided a dormitory for female students. when he was in his twenties, he moved to a position with F.M. Kirby and Company. In 1899, he came to WilkesBarre to become general manager and buyer of the Kirby store, the only store in the entire Woolworth's chain still to retain the Kirby name. In 1912, when the Kirby stores merged with Woolworth, Mr. Weckesser became district manager and was made a member of the Woolworth board of directors and a leading figure of the executive committee. Both Kirby and Weckesser gave generously to colleges and universities in the area. In fact, Kirby's contributions to Wilkes-Barre alone exceeded many millions of dollars. So it seems both Kirby Hall and Weckesser Hall stand today as monuments to their previous owners who came from modest beginnings to build their way to become great leaders in the growth of Wyoming Valley.

"They worked very hard and did very well." A handful of swimmers representing Wilkes competed in the MAC's late last month. They certainly didn't dominate the competition, but they did improve individually for the most part. Each swimmer is allowed to enter three events at most in MAC competition . In the women's competition, Michele Maguire, Megan Maguire, and Peggy Bffl:chkavitz earned places in a combined seven of nine events by finishing 12th or better. In the 200 meter individual medley, Michele Maguire finished 11th with a time of 2:28.92. She finished eighth in the 100 meter butterfly with a 1 :05.91 time and she finished seventh in the 200 meter butterfly with a 2:27. 72 time. Megan Maguire finished 11th in . the 100 backstroke with a 1:07.91 time, 14th in the 200 freestyle with a 2:10.20 time, and 10th in the 200 backstroke with a 2:26.86 time. Peggy Butchkavitz copped an eighth place finish in the 200 breaststroke in 2:47 .80 and finished ninth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:17.68. In the 50 freestyle she finished 17th. "I was very pleased with the girls' performance, " Coach Bob Lewis said. "They did better overall than during the rest of the year. They worked very hard all year and I couldn't ask for more considering the limited time they had to practice." ·In the men's competition, Billy Butchkavitz competed in the 500 freestyle (5:33.27), the 200 freestyle (2:01.01), and the 100 freestyle (54 .84) . Rico Ratti and John Martin each competed in the 100 and 50 freestyle events. "We have a lot of potential on this campus and we could have a very good team, " Doty explained, but in the team standings Wilkes didn't fare too well. · In relay competition, Wilkes could not compete because of a shortage of swimmers. Because the MAC competition is not coed, and because Wilkes only had three swimmers in both the men's and women's competition, the Colonels and Colonelettes had to sit out the relay competition. Four swimmers are needed for relays. "At the beginning of the year we had a very good team ," Doty explained. "This semester we lost half the team. We lost one to graduation, and the others didn't have time." Coach Bob Lewis said he would like to see more people try out for the team, but he doesn't think this year's problem with numbers will last forever . With a few recruits and some interest on the part of swimmers already attending Wilkes, he does feel he could put together a stronger team . "I think it could be done within the next year or so, but it is up to the students," Lewis said. "We have good people in each event," Doty explained, "but we need depth. " Without depth, the Wilkes swim team will continue to be drowned out by the competition.

This writer may be a bit partial, but based on overall .talent, it would be a safe bet to pick the combination of Chapman and Dana to come out on top. However, one never knows what will happen in a tournament. by Ellen Van Riper The regular season has come to a close, and the six teams of the women's intramural basketball league are set for the playoffs. The "second season" is slated to begin on Monday, March 29 with the opening round, and it will conclude on Wednesday, March 31 with the championship game. Even though the season was short, it still proved to be a lot of fun for all involved. This year's program was run by Tim Ryan. Considering the premium upon gymnasium time, it is obvious that he did a creditable job. The seedings for the playoffs are as follows: in first is the team from Dana and Chapman Hall, in . second is Sullivan Hall, in third are the ladies from Weiss and Chesapeake Halls, in fourth is Hollenback Hall, and in fifth and sixth are Sturdevant Hall and the Third Floor of Miner Hall . Under the playoff system, each has an equal chance to capture the overall LOWEST PRICES! YOUR SNACK BAR'S SPECIALS & SOUPS FOR NEXT WEEK is finely exemplified by the pitching trio of Sue Schwartz, Lynn Bush, and Theresa McGraw . Sue is a former All-Star from Nanticoke, Lynn is from Dallas, and Theresa is from Phoenixville. According to Coach Roberts, they are all very fine pitchers and should do well this season . However, each is also able to play equally well at other positions, so even when they are not on the mound, the ladies will still be able to contribute. The Lady Colonels were scheduled to play a double header at Kirby against Bucknell on March 23, but the game was postponed due to poor field conditions. Weather willing, the team will open the 1982 season at Misericordia on March 29. Another junior, Stacy Keeley, anchored the corner at first base, and she should do the same this season as well. An excellent defensive player and a consistent leadoff hitter, Stacy should prove to be a key performer during 1982. The other two returning players are sophomores Karen Bove and Kim Smith . Karen was a versatile and valuable player last season as she alternated between the outfield and the pitching mound. Versatility was also a trademark of Kim 's as she proved that she could play both the outfield and third base with equal skill. Look for more of the same throughout the spring. The rest of the team is comprised of freshmen . The youngsters are all talented athletes, and this fact by Ellen Van Riper According to the, calendar, spring is almost here, but much to the chagrin of the softball team, Mother Nature has had other plans. After numerous practice sessions at either the gym or at waterlogged Kirby Park, the Lady Colonels are looking forward to their second annual Southern Trip . The team left yesterday, and they will spend today and tomorrow competing against colleges in Maryland. The ladies will spend today at Washington College and hopefully get some games in. Then tomorrow they will move on to Western Maryland College for some more competition before heading hack to Wilkes-Barre. The purpose of such a trip is to compete against teams which are normally not on the regular schedule, and to create a relaxed situation for the team members to get acquainted with each other. This is all predicated upon the existence of dry playing surfaces. On last year's trip, the Lady Colonels ran into the first snow storm which had occurred during March in Maryland in the past fifteen years. Hopefully, the team will be more lucky this time around. Coach Roberts and Coach Meyers are facing a rebuilding season this spring. However, a large turnout, which is a result of successful recruiting, is making the situation a bit more pleasant. Inexperience will be a characteristic of the 1982 team as only four players remain from the squad of a year ago. Leading this group of veterans is junior captain Karen Johnson . Playing at catcher last season, she was the offensive as well as the defensive leader of the team. A knee injury, sustained during the basketball campaign, has hampered her early on, but by the time the regular season rolls around, Karen should be back in top form. Her skills as both a catcher and a hitter will be necessaryfor the success of this year's team.

Since Mark Popple , Lenny Nelson and Kris Rowlette are all µniors, they have one more season to retu_rn to~the event. They describe Nat10nals as an awesome experience. LENNY NELSON Nelson explained, ''When I first . got out there I was a little nervous. You' re out there with the best .'' Nelson's words were echoped by Popple. ''I never really knew what I was missing. When I got to the Na- tionals, it was really something to see. It's really a big ordeal. '' All agreed that it was somewhat of an overwhelming experience, but they were not intimidated by the competition. As Rowlette explained, "Just to have the chance to bump somebody off that was rated hi~ up there is a great feeling.'' The first time around at Nationals does bring out some doubts, as Nelson summed up, "I had this image ... these guys are great wrestlers, now they're going to pound you.'' Instead of getting pounded, Nelson pinned the wrestler who defeated him for the Eastern championship. "The highest point of the year was when I pinned Sweazey. I wanted to beat him µst to prove to myself that I was better. Nelson was a little nervous in the Eastern championship, but the second meeting between the wrestlers was quite a different story. ''I had to win if I was going to be an All-American,'' he said. Now Nelson is setting his sights high for next year. "I'm definitely psyched," he said. "I think we'll have a lot more people going. Everybody that's back could make it next year." . Popple is µst as optomistic. "You have to be positive. I don ' t want to be cocky, but I never go into a match thinking I'm going to lose . I' II think I'm better than the guy .'' While Nelson made it to nationals with his greatest strength being in freestyle situatiuons, Popple feels better working from the mat. But he does it in an interesting manner. Senior teammate Billy Dodge explained Popple's style. "I've never seen anybody wrestle like him before," Do~e said. " It's crazy . You µst can t teach that stuff.'' " I don't lose my cool," Popple explained. "When you get hot · headed ou make mistakes. That's MARK POPPLE what I like my opponents to do. They get frustrated with my style, then they make mistakes ." Popple was not a placewinner this year. He already holds a few school records, and a Wilkes champion ship. However, he would like to win the Eastern championship next year before placing in the national competition. '' The way I figure, it 's nioce knocking out the big schools. It's all mental. You 've got to have confidence. It's the name of the game. H you have confidence, you do well.'' Popple, like many of his teammates, plans to train and compete throughout the summer in preparation for next year. "Every year I say I'm going to lift weights. I started lasty year, but I gave it up . This year I'm going to stick to it." he said. This seems to reflect the seriousness he holds towards next year. Getting back to national competition will involve much sacrifice. Rowlette will be wrestling at a higher weight class next year, but to main tain his present weight class he would have to cut back on one of his favorite things. The main thing is that you take it seriously. One thing I like to do is eat, but you have to diet to ~o out there and beat your opponent. ' Rowlette explained that he usually had to lose ten pounds before a match . It's the last two pounds that are the toughest to work off, but it's all a part of wrestling. - "Wrestling relieves you a lot," he added. "It does calm your nerves . If you had a bad test , it will cover you for awhile. '' Rowlette , like Nelson and Popple, has his own individual strengths in wrestling. " My speed is my ~reatest asset , and my leverage, too . ' His goals are to make it in the Eastern finals and to place seventh or better in the National competition, in reference to Nelson's eighth place, Rowlette explainerd with a smile. A ll three wrestlers are glowing with optimism and determinism after their experience at Iowa State. They'll be spending the summer .building up their strength and tech niques. When the wrestling season begins next year, they'll be counting on Coach Reese to help them KRIS ROWLETTE . perfect their styles . "It's going to be a good year , " Nelson stated. ''Next year will be the best year we had in a long time 'ifeel." ' All three wrestlers can ' t wait . Season Review Wrestlers Tie School Mark For Most Victories by Mark James It's been quite a year for the Wilkes wrestling team. The Colonels faced a number of tough teams through out the year but still managed to tie a school record for most wins in a season with a 19-4 mark, but there's more. The first win came at the expense of Oregon State, a team the Colonels had never defeated. In their very next contest, the Wilkes grapplers defeated East Stroudsburg State giving Coach Reese his 300th career coaching victory. • Next came the Wilkes Open where the Colonels had a few tough breaks and ended up finishing in second place behind an older and more experienced New York Athletic Club. With their record at 4-2, the Col. onels hosted sixth-ranked Syracuse and scored an exciting victory after Pete Creamer came up with a crucial pin as he had against Oregon State. The Syracuse bench felt the official rushed the call, but the official's decision stood as the Colonels handed the Orangemen their only dual meet loss this year. As the season progresses, Wilkes rolled up an 10- 2 record and a eight meet winninR streak before be~inning the " New England Swing." On a Sat urday, the Colonels defeat- ed Southern Connecticut before moving onto Harvard the next day for a quadrangular meet. At Harvard, Wilkes lost against" a tough Nebraska team to snap the streak, but also picked up two victories. After that busy weekend, the Colonels returned home tired from their travel. A couple short practice sessions later, they hosted Penn State. Wilkes did better than anticipated in the earlier weight classes, but lost a thriller by losing a five point lead in the final two weigh t classes. It was the Colonel's last dual-meet loss of the year. Mark Popple, who lost his first three bouts of the year , went on to roll up 23 consecutive victories to break the school marks for most wins and most decisions in a season in dual meet competition. He finish ed the year off with 28 overall victories, a record he now shares with John Chakmakas (1974-75). "It µst feels good to have my name in the record book," Popple mentioned. " I don't think they (the records) are going to stand next year. I think they'll be hroke n '• !.en;,y , , -: ,..(In became the first national placewinner since Joe Wienc:D. finished fifth in 1969. Nelson had lost to Bili Sweazy in the finals at the Eastern tournament , but he pinned the William & Mary wrestler in the nationals to garner eighth place in the nation. How does it feel to place in the Nationals? " It feels the same (as always). People would come up to me and say 'congratulations' and I would say ' Hey! OK ! Thanks! But I could have done better than eighth.'' Also making it to the national competition was Kris Rowlette, who was knocked out of competition after one bout. " I still feel happy . I think think I'll come dovln sooner orlater. I didn't really wrestle my kind of match,'' Rowlette said. '' It was an experience in itself µst to be there," he explained. "It seems like I was floating the whole. time I was there .'' Rowlette noted that the exposure to the national competition is an important asset for next year. Like Popple and Nelson, he plans to spend the summer wrestling in tournaments and improving his technique and strength for next year. In the Eastern competition , Nelson finished second while Popple and Rowlette each fin ished third to move on to the national competition . Also placing in the EIWA tourney were Kurt Rowlette with a fifth place finish and Billy Dodge with a sixth place finish . Rowlette scored the most pins on the team this year while Dodge was considered the team's top wrestler before spraining his elbow in the preseason . Other wrestlers putting out fine performances this year were Pete Creamer, M ark Troutman, Mark Correll, an d J im M ulligan . '' I was very pleased with the season. A lot of people had good . years fo r us. " Coach Reese ex, plained . ''We got ~ood years out of people we weren t expecting too much from.' ' "The key to next year is that we lose only two seniors. Basically, we have everybody back. We'll need young kids to fill in 'behind them,'' Reese said. When the Colonels began the year it didn't seem like it would be such a good season . As Do~e, a senior, explained, ''In the beginning of the year I didn't think the team was going to do that well because of the tough schedule and the lack of depth. If anybody else would have got hurt we wo uld have been in trouble." The Colonels began the year with about 18 wrestlers and finished it with a team slightly less in number. With ten weight classes, this does not leave too much room for flexa bility. At this point in time, it looks like next year's team will be very strong, but that depends on whether or not the top wrestlers remain healthy. In the meantime, Coach Reese wiil be busy recruiting some depth. Sports Quiz 1. From 1970 to 1979, what seven players collected their 3000th career hit in major league baseball? 2.

The fires, all of unknown origin, are currently under investigation by the Wilkes-Barre Police and Fire Departments. The first fire occurred on Thursday, March 18, at 1:15 a.m . in a closet on the second floor of Slocum Hall. The fire department was alerted and the hall was evacuated. The fire caused minimal damage and no one was injured. The second fire was discovered on Saturday, March 20, at 11:15 p.m. when a burning box of garbage on the second floor triggered the smoke detector. The residents extinguished this fire. At approximately the same time as the second fire was discovered, another fire erupted in the lounge on the first floor of the hall. Students summoned the fire department and began fighting the fire with extinguishers. In their effort to control the fire, the students emptied seven fire extinguishers before the fire department took over. The fire caused extensive smoke and fire damage. The lounge floor and furniture were burned, and the fire came close to burning through the floor-boards. Four students were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene. Housing Director Paul Adams stated that his office is "treating" the fires "as seriously as they can." He noted that "people have been justifiably scared," and that he intends to use this to convey his fire safety message. He added that, at the beginning of the school year, when fire safety is discussed, most students do not take it seriously. He stated that now it will have an important impact on them. Adams emphasized the importance of keeping fire doors closed and front doors locked . He also noted that students should become familiar with the residence hall fire/ emergency procedures that are posted in each room. Hqusing personnel inspected the halls for possible fire hazards to insure that safety procedures are being followed. The fires have resulted in a change in the men of Slocum Hall. Resident Assistant Ken Avery noted that the fires have "brought the dorm together." He stated that the residents have become "more conscious of fire safety and security," and that they are working together as a team. One example of this teamwork is the patrol the students have initiated during sleeping hours. Residents volunteer to patrol the dorm during the early morning hours. Avery added that, after the fires, all the men in the dorm "were on edge," but that now things are beginning to return to normal. The residents of Slocum were given the option of moving to another hall or remaining in Slocum. All chose to remain in Slocum. Slocum Resident Assistants Ken Avery and Bob Lewis were commended by Adams for their actions during the fires. Adams stated that they "conducted themselves as he hoped they would have." He also stated that he hopes everyone has benefited from this experience. Lisa Gurka, Editor-in-Chief of The Beacon , recently announced the new editorial staff for 19821983.

Denison Hall Burglarized Denison Hall was burglarized during Spring Break. Doors were kicked in and stereo speakers and jewelry were stolen, reports Housing Director Paul Adams, who also said the total costs of the break in are approximately $2000. Cameras and other items were overlooked, Adams noted. Some students felt the break-in occured because of security problems, but Adams feels it is "best" if he does not comment on the matter. He points out, however, that the school is never responsible in such situations, and that this fact is "emphasized" in Housing Contracts, the Student Handb"ook, and other campus publications. The school, though, "sympathizes" whenever some event such as this happens, Adams said. "Dorms are vulnerable during breaks," Adams commented , because everyone knows there is no one around . The school warns students not to leave their valuables in their rooms during breaks, Adams said. According to Adams, "Precautions have been taken to secure the doors" in Denison Hall, but he also added that not much could have been done to prevent the break-in because the doors were kicked in. There are no leads as to who committed the burglaries, according to Adams. No one is sure whether the burglar was a student or an outsider. ELECTION RESULTS .

Siegfried, Director, Department of Theatre Arts, has recently been designated recipient of an Award of Excellence by the American College Theatre Festival. Guy Robinson, Public Affairs Representative of AMOCO pre- • sented the gold medal award to Siegfried at the XIV annual ACTF held at Hoffstra University. The University and College Theatre Association, a division of the American Theatre ,/\ssociation, produces the American College Theatre Festival. The award, explained Siegfried, is given by the ACTF to acknowledge a person who has made a significant contribution to the promotion of theatre arts. Siefried's experience with the ACTF is multifaceted, as an adjudicator judging original plays, as an award-winning Director of an original play entitled Dancers (Kansas State College, 1976), as a member of the Play Selection Committee, and most recently, he has been named Chair of Region II which encompasses the states of Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., fo r the year 1982. The ACTF is an annual theatre arts competition with more than 450 original productions for which 13,000 students compete for awards, scholarships and special grants for actors, playwrights, designers and critics. Fountainhead, a rock group from Connecticut, en tertained students last week in the gym . The concert was well attended and provided an excellent selection of east coast progressive hard rock. Actions Taken To Correct Hazardous Conditions Behind Hollenback Hall by Cheryl Kashuba Questions have been raised by commuter students as to whether or not something can be done about the mud behind Hollenback Hall. Those students who park in the Park and Lock South cut through the Hollenback yard on their way to class. One student said, "It's a mess back there." It has been suggested that a sidewalk be put in so students will not have trouble getting through. But the idea has come up against some legal barriers. In the past, there was an accident involving a pedestrian near Parish Hall, according to Commuter Council President Joe Knox . Wilkes was fou nd responsible and was forced to make a legal settle- ment. The possibility of such an accident's occuring again has to be considered when deciding whether or not to put in a ~idewalk. "There is a question of the responsibilities of the parties in- volved," said Knox. He explained that a sidewalk would connect col- · lege property to_~l_!c'~Club pro er- ty; if someone were hurt on college property, the college might be responsible, and if someone com ing from the college were hurt on Elk's Club property, the Elk's Club might be responsible. The Elk's Club might be "unhappy with the school" if the latter occured, Knox said. The legal questions are being considered by the Student Affairs Committee, according to Knox, and the issue is making "favorable progress," There is a chance that something will be done. If a sidewalk is not put in, there is a possibility that gravel will be put clown . . Scholarships Given For Stady In Spain by Andrea Hincken Two students, both majoring in Spanish at Wilkes College, have recently been awarded $500 scholarships to study abroad. Lisa Johnson of Scranton and Lisa Bellucci of Conyngham are presently making travel plans for their separate trips to Spain. Johnson, a junior with a double major in Spanish and psychology, stated, 'Tm really looking forward to it. " Johnson said that she will be studying in Seville,Spain, for one semester. She will be leaving on September 10, 1982. Her schedule, she said, will consist of 16 credits in Spanish conversation, grammar and Literature. The classes are held Monday thru Thursday, so she will have the time to go on some of the school's planned tours through Europe. The program will consist of 85 students from all over the United States and Canada. "It will be fun ," she said, "to make friends with students from all over the country." Johnson also said she is excited to see how the people in Spain live, and she wants to learn more about their culture and their language. Bellucci, a sophomore with a double major . in Spanish and Economics, will be spending between six and eight weeks in Spain. The school she will attend has not been decided, but she has a choice of a school in Madrid or one in Seville, She said that she will probably choose the school in Seville, because it 'is a smaller, safer area. Bellucci said she will be taking from 3 to 6 credits in Spanish conversation. "I think it's going to be a worthwhile experience," she said. She also said that she is looking forward to seeing how people in another culture live. Dr. Hilda Marban, Professor of Foreign Languages, commented, "It's a fantastic opportunity for the girls ." She stated that the scholarships for the students were given by an anonymous donor in the community, whom the students refer to as "the angel. " In order to qualify for the scholarships, the students write an essay in Spanish on why they would like to study abroad . They must also have an interview with the Spanish faculty members. Marban said that seven ~tudents in the past five years have studied in Spain and Mexico. Two more students are expected to be sent next year, she added.

He also commented that next year's board will have a different format . Members of the board won't get paid for simply being on the board, according to Tucker . There will be 13 student members, along with two administrators. All student members will be required to work in the Student Center in order to be members of the Student Center Board. "We're proposing this in order to get more people involved with the Student Center," Tucker commented. The amount of scholarship cuts reported in last week's Beacon were incorrect. Student leader scholarships, currently full scholarships, will be cut to 2/3 for the 1982-1983 school year. In 1983, they will be cut to 1/2, and in 1984 the scholarships will be phased out. A new proposal has been submitted to President Capin, however, and if there are funds available, there is the possibility of the new proposal. According to SG President Ana Nunez, the new proposal calls for a 1/4 cut in student leaders' scholarships, thus reducing the amount for 1982 - 1983 to a 3/ 4 scholarship . A fun d request of $175 by the Psychology Honor Society and the Psychology Club was unanimously passed by SG . The money will be used to help defray costs for members to attend the Eastern Psychological Association Convention in Baltimo re, MD . The president of the Fine Arts Association requested $92 to cover the costs of two guest artists who presented a one-day workshop this past_Mon~ay. Because of a mix-up in the renewal of the Fine Arts Association's charter with SC, the fund request was postponed until their constitution could be passed . Since this was the first reading, a vote will be taken next week . Big Brothers/Big Sisters presented a fund request for $119 (also a first reading) . This money is needed to defray the cost of a bus trip to the Bronx Zoo for the little brothers and sisters. SC unanimously passed a vote of confidence. Elaine Kerchusky, a junior business major, was nominated for the office of Student Government President. She will be running unopposed for that office in the election to be held on April 6. Elections Committee Chairman Ralph Pringle announced that SG, CC and IRHC elections will take place on that date. The voting times and places are as follows: on Tuesday, April 6. Corresponding secretary Marge LeBlanc reported that eight students have expressed interest in attending the upcoming NACURH National Conference. She stated that fundraisers for the trip will include an Easter egg sale, which will take place before break, and an Allen Sub sale. The subs will be delivered April 15 and the order deadline is April 8. Student Center Director Jay Tucker noted that the Student Center Board will have a new fo rmat next year. The Board will consist of 15 members: 2 admini- by Donna Nitka Officer nominations for the 1982-83 Inter-Residence · Hall Council were held during Sunday's meeting.

The Council discussed plans to initiate an on-campus parking fee for commuters, which would be effective beginning next fall. Following a lengthy discussion, a motion was passed which will allow members to begin talks with the college administration concerning the legality of such a fee. The proposal before the Council now is to charge each commuter a semester fee of $20 if he is given a parking space on campus. The money thus raised by the Council would be used to subsidize offcampus parking programs. With this system, the Council plans to further alleviate the high cost of parking, a problem faced by most commuters who drive. Two Council members voted by John Finn The Commuter Council Road Rally will be held this Sunday, April 4, from 3-5 p .m . A minimum of 20 cars will be necessary fo r the contest to begin, and registration is being conducted this week, according to Mary Ellen Judge, Commuter Council Secretary. The Rally is designed to test the skills of contestants and is not meant to be a race. According to the rules, points will be deducted from scores if contestants reach checkpoints too early. The contest is open to all Wilkes students, and there is a registration fee of $5.00. Prizes of $100, $50, and $25 will be awarded. A party will be given following the Rally for participants and those who helped conduct the event. .Jud_ge commented that a very Wrangler Phone: 287-1202 STORE HOURS: 9:00 to 9:00 Mon.-Fri. 270 Wyoming A'(e. 9:30 to 5:30 Saturdays Kingston VISA Et Master Charge Accepted Student Center.

However, several members felt this would cause problems with the election of a Homecoming Queen, who is chosen from the Senior Class. The Committee welcomes suggestions from the student body. Bruce Williams, President of the Senior Class, commented on the condition of Stark Lobby. He felt that because of the litter and general poor appearance of the lobby, it looks bad to prospective students who are currently touring the Wilkes campus. Dean Hoover advised members of SG to "take it upon themselves to police the campus, and remove an outdated publicity and litter." The Student Government film this week is "Godspell." It will be shown on Friday, April 2, at 7 and 9 p.m. in Stark 101.

The boards will be divided on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Ecumenical Service, held on Sunday, March 28, went well. Nunez commented that everyone involved did a good job. The schedule for next year's services will follow the same series. That is, services will be scheduled for Orientation, Thanksgiving, Christmas/Chanukah, and Easter /Passover. The 50 Anniversary Committee has been meeting to discuss plans for the finalization of the Cinderella Ball. Problems have arisen as to the date of the Ball because of the apparently filled social calendar for next year. The Committee had planned to hold 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Stark Lobby, and 4:30 to 6:30 p .m . in Pickering Hall . Student Government, on the advice of advisor Dean Art Hoover, is endorsing a policy that currently exists in the faculty and student handbooks concerning exams in the week prior to finals. The policy states that "no major examinations may be given during the last five class days preceeding final examinations without the approval of the department chairman and the Dean of Academic Affairs." This policy is also up for discussion before the Academic Standards Committee. Nunez reminded all clubs and organizations that posting publicity posters on glass or windows is against college policy. Posters are allowed only on the designated bulletin boards. SG passed a motion, 14-9, to allow students runn- • l t ~ a 10n ~~~~~~~~~-~---- th again$t the proposals, and stated that if a student deserves a parking space on campus according to the Council's merit point system, he should not be charged . Other mem bers raised questions such as, "What new services will be provided for the $20 .00 fee?" and "Will students be guaranteed a space if they pay the fee?" Joe Knox, CC President, said, "If charges are levied, spaces will be guaranteed to those who are given permits, but, Knox added, only if those persons have paid the charges. Knox added that next year, stricter on-campus parking regulations will be in effect. The Council is planning to assign each permit holder to one specific space for the entire semester. · -~~~~ Tonight, April 1st Beer Bash With F.~BJJ~Ul~AY c Phone: 829-0000 (No Cover Before 10:00) Sun. - Cafe Ole (No Cover) Wed. - Head East Thurs. - Frankie & The Knockouts Comlnp April 21 - Uriah Heap ~ I I Wilkes-Barre Blvd. & ·I ~:=,°£:._ Ph. 8a2-?04S · -laport• ...._ --CoW ..__ Coll In Advance fr-..,.,:,::;nd""...-._ ..... .,, "' ~ ..................................,...........................1--~!!~Ji.A,!b~~~J!..c.LA~~!ll~.£~~---- - - - - - - - - - - - · Phone 288-1232 254 Wyoming Ave., Kingston ' Market Sts. ,11 I t1 • I I It• (Must Lea Card) �Page 4, The Beacon, April 2, 1982 Who To Endorse? In past years, editors of The Beacon have endorsed candidates for the office of Presidents of Student Government, Commuter Council, and Inter-Residence Hall Council. This year, both the candidate for SG President and the candidate for IRHC President are running unopposed. That leaves only the contest for CC President open for comment. After reviewing both candidates' platforms and listen ing to their presentations at the Presidential Forum on March 30, we find both candidates of equal potential ability. The similarities in the backgrounds of Mary Ellen Judge and Ed Stachowiak are striking. Both have been · associated with CC for three 7ears. Both are Biology maj>rs, and have been editors o the biology club newslet- _ ter. As their platforms indicate, they have basically the same ideas for the governance of Commuter Council. Considering how much (or how little) we know about anything else of each candidate, we feel it would be im possible to choose between the two. We also feel it would be unfair to encbrse one candidate and not the other, based on the above reasons. I, Mary Ellen Judge, submit this platform as an outline of the ideas and goals that I intend to fulfill as Commuter Council President. I plan to work for the needs and improvements of the Wilkes College commuter students . I. Parking a. To charge a set fee for parking permits on campus that would be awarded per semester basis. This money will be used to subsidize Park and Lock stickers. A set amount will be put aside per month for the sole purpose of this subsidation . b. Parking permits will be coded, that is, each space in the commuter parking lots will be numbered and the number of the space as well as the initial letter of the lot will be printed on the parking permit. This will insure a parking space for each commuter with a permit in the parking lot that he or she has been assigned to. c. To investigate and examine all spots around campus that would be able to accomodate cars for parking. The area would be submitted for approval to the Administration. In this way, more spaces would be available for parking to commuting students d. To set up meetings with King's College commuter council for the purpose of establishing cooperative programs involving lower municipal busing and parking rates. II. Social Activities a. To work for a more comprehensive social schedule that would allow for more off campus as well as on campus parties. Party creativity has dwinclled over the past few years and this must be changed with new ideas . · b. To work for the scheduling of more college functions during the activities periods . III. Apartment Involvement a. To form an active apartment committee that would better integrate apartment students with the commuter council. This would be accomplished by obtaining a list of all apartment students and personally contacting each one and inviting their perticipation in commuter council. N. Overnight Commuter Facilities a. To establish as quickly and efficiently as possible a program called Overnight Facilities for Commuters. This program will allow commuting students, should they decide to, to be allowed to stay overnight in the cbrmitories due to severe weather problems. My goal is to fully publicize this program , allowing each commuter student to be exposed to the benefits of this worthwhile program. V. Commuter Involvement a. To increase commuter involvement in college affairs by periodically sending representatives from commuter council to clubs and organizations to inform them of upcoming events that would interest commuter.s as well as the progress of commuter council itself. b. To arrange a commuter forum, similar to the one held in February, 1982, once a month that would be open to all commuting students. With this forum, students will be able to voice their problems and keep informed about commuter council's P.rogress. VI. 'After Hours'' Administrative Office a. To work for the establishment of ari "after hours" administrative office at the college. This office would help provide students, most especially commuters with the services that might have otherwise been unavailable to them during the hours they arew on campus or that might have been inconvenient for them to contact while on campus. VII GROUP INSURANCE RA TE a. To look into a program involving a group insurance rate for all interested Wilkes College students. Since I am campaigning for CC, I will attack the subfct of commu ting first. I would like to see a much better system of worked out for those taking an LCT A bus to school. I can relate well to the issue since I travelled as such for over two years. A much better price deal should be arranged and I will strive to attain such a goal. This can be done with negotiations on bus tokens as wellas the "fare deal" system . Also, for those who walk to P[L South, I would like to see a sidewalk put in behind Hollenback to facilitate easier walking as well as beautifying the campus . Although the system of the Car Pool referral system has not worked in the past , I would like to see it work this coming year. Also I would like to develop more fully the overnight fa cilities system proposed this year. I now move to the most serious problem faced by commuters; parking. It is obvious to any student who commutes via his own vehcile that there is no clear cut solution to the parking problem (contrary to the statement made by my opponent). But this realism cbes not impede our progress in attempting to better this dilemma. I have made throu~hout the academic many suggestions to the council. Some of them include the muilti-level deck and charging for the award of parking stickers. Although trhe parkade is out of our realm, a much better parking system is not . Along with ideas from others, I have proposed a basic system for next year. m This includes charging for a parking space (akin to the U of Scranton system). This money would not be used for CC's benefit but rather would be utilized to subsidize the Price of the P[L parking stickers. This still would provide a benefit to t 0 those receiving the parking sticker due to need as well as lowering the price of P[L stickers fro those not fortunate enough to get a parking sticker. Also, the system would work on a per semester basis as opposed to the per year basis currently in effect. This would make more stickers available since many can be reused due to graduation in December, change in schedule, and differences in need. Also, I would like to see the policing of these lots strictly enforced. I once proposed the IDEA OF REDESIGNING THE STICKERS SO TO SPECIFY WHICH LOT A CAR WOULD BE PLACED IN. Also, I want to have the lot spaces numbered. Thus with this information conveyed on the stickers, the parking according to assigned spaces could be strictly enforced. As far as programming goes, I would like to see the social calendar for next year paralled , if not imitate that of this year. The social com mittee with its four mapr events is more than one could possibly ask for. The coffeehouse is rolling along better than ever. The movie matinee needs work buty is an excellent idea . i would also like to see new and innovative events for the committees such as the road rally being held this year. Also, we should put more work into the Student Center and Apartment committees. Now I will deal with which in my eyes , is the most important committee of all; the Publicity committee . I was chairman of the Publicity and Elections committee two years ago . Throughout the years I have realized that an event is made successful only through the publicity it receives. You, the people of The Beacon can relate to this first hand. I along with another student basically initiated the P[E committee to what it is TODAY. Those green signs you see plastered all over the campus were my cbing during my term. It has this year and must continue to remain in able hand<; if CC is to prosper. The CC forum is an excellent idea for visibility and publicity. Akin to publicity, I emphatically promise (not µst propose) to fill the council (24 members plus associates). How can we reach our constituents if we fo not operate at full potential. I now move to my personal record. As stated before, I was the chairman of P[E committee for one year . This knowledger is essential if we are to run an organization of such magnitude. I am sorry to say , but my opponent has not had this experience. This year we are basically equated as far as committee experience goes. I roam wioth most committees in order to get a more broad spectrum of what goes on. I still have an affinity for the P[E committee. Being vice president of CC for the past year has given me more experience than can be expressed in word<;. Being Joe's right hand man, I have followed in his shadow in order to ''learn the ropes" in hopeful/ anticipation of this year. Once again, my opponent cannot equate this experience . Last year I was editor of a minor publication which has developed my sense of publicity. Due to many scientific presentations (I attended one this weekend in Pittsburgh) I have developed a sense of public speaking. Once again , my opponent cannot relate to this. The most important of all qualifications is my serving as Biological Society president for one year . I have learned still am leaming the ways of hanclling a club through managementy which is a day and night difference from being part od it. I feel I can use this experience to run CC next year without having to go through a transition state as anyone else would. I am leaving the club eith a wealth of experience and appreciation for it in order to put it to use for the constituents of CC. In closint, I wish to have all consider my platform as well as extremely superior qualifications in choosing a president for next yeart . I borrow the phr~;- : "µdge for yourself" in choosing a CC president . I feel I am the most qualified for the pb and can do the most to benefit those who make CC: the commuters. Thank you. Ed Stachowiak r-ua ...t V C~ Cornrnentary by Carl von Kadtke The near future f(lr Wilkes Colle)!e will be difficult for st u :l ,- nts and faculty . At either side of the podi um, the issue will be the lack of fund<; . From the student's perspective, the lack of Federal funding as a part of President Reagan's budget plans, combined with inflation and restrictions on the surviving aid programs adds up to trouble. Many students will postpone or cancel their plans for a college education . Others will seek military sponsored college programs. Whatever the choice, this drain of young people from private colleges to these alternatives will hurt medium and small institutions. In the word<; of our College President, Dr. Capin, " ... it will not be surprising to see mergers or closures of small and medium sized colleges in the near future .'' The College's position is also bleak. Wilkes budget planners ex pect that there will not be the usual number of college age people available even if the aid programs were considered, since the "baby boom" of the post world war two era ended in the early 1960's. Costs of heating, staff, and maintenance are also rising, resulting in a drain of dollars from within as well as outside the campus . The answer to these problems is direct and simple, at least in terms of economics . Cost cutting as well as cost-effectiveness planning will be the trend setting ideas over the next decade : Wilkes College students can expect to see changes soon . There are plans underway to allow an exchange of Wilkes and Kings College foreign language staff. Hybrid aca demic departments, as well as the elimination or re-structuring of others will be possibilities. In short , all departments will have to show their worth. This cbes not mean that the spirit of a liberal arts college will be eliminated. The Humanities will be preserved to provide" ... an education for a way of life , ' 'accordind to President Capin. Expanded night class and continuing education programs will be set up to recover some of the loss in stu dents and revenue, but_even with all of the attempts at making the budget efficient , a freshman entering Wilkes can expect a yearly increase in tuition at approximately two to three hundred dollars. Although these problems are serious, the Financial Aid Commitment Team (or F.A.C.T .), an advisory group on financial aid has been formed, F.A .C.T . consists of Wilkes College, College Misericordi a, Kings College, Luzerne County Community College , and the Hazelton Campus of Penn State. This group held a press conference on February 24 , 1982. At the meeting all of the college 's proclaimed that they would be hurt by the cuts in financial aid, inflation, energy costs , etc. However, I did see something which, even in the discussion of the woes and wants of the institutions inspired in me: The positive and constructive power of a crisis pulling colleges as well as the students and faculty of a college together, making them realize the interdepenrence of the individual parts to the whole . can lead to a Renaissance in the quality of a college education . This awareness is the best thing we can foster in the decade ahead. - �April 2, 1982, The Beacon, Page 1\ Dr. Fox To Pursue Studies Abroad Name: Marge Le Blanc Hometown: Pottsville , PA Class of 1983 Mapr : Political Science ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENCE : IRHC Representative, Catlin Hall - one year IRHC - CC Social Committee member - one year Chairperson, Publicity Committee - one year Chairperson, Social Committee - one year Representative at three National Association of College and Unive rsity Resident Hall (NA CUR CH) - one year Served as National Communications Coordinator (NCC) to (NACURCH)- one year .

Now that he has been awarded the stipend, Fox will pursue the topic of his proposal at Oxford , and will live for two months at the University and utilize the facilities at Bocileian Library and the British Museum in London for his research . Fox noted that the opportunity to study at Oxford will enable him to explore the whole concept of self and consciousness in the eighteenth century. One of the problems of present scholarship on this topic, he added, is that many scholars have approached eighteenth-century literature from a twentieth-century psychological perspective . In order $1. 00 if in costume to fully understand and appreciate the works of the eighteenth century , said Fox , one must come to terms with the eighteenth -century perspective. Through his research and other ~ctivit\es, Fox is attempting to cb µst this.

A View From The Other Side OJ The Desk by Lisa Cobb I have spent most of my life sitting at a desk in a room usually composed of one wall of windows, one wall blank or lined with cabinets, and two walls of black slate. It hasn't been the same room all these years, of course, but every year the "new" rooms have looked the same as those the year before. Now, after 16½ years, an estimated 3980 hours, I am not sitting, but standing on the other side of the desk. I stand before a sea of, usually, blank faces . I ask questions, probe minds, lecture a little, give out assignments, and administer tests. I spend hours preparing for one hopefully dynamic hour during which I endeavor to spread some light on uninquiring minds and some expression on blank faces. I am constantly aware of that piece of wood and metal which separates me from them: the desk. It represents horrible things to me. It is a symbol of distance. In the beginning, I wanted to keep that distance. I felt a security in the fact that I was separated from the students by a desk. Now, however, I no longer need a symbol of security. That desk has become an obstacle. I can come out from behind the teacher's desk, but in order to get to the other side of the students' · desks, to get to the point where we are working together and not in opposite directions, I have to claw, scratch, and thrash through the invisible wall they have built. Every moment of the hour I spend with every class has to be energized, and I am the energizer. I'm exhausted after each class and then, from somewhere in the deepest chasm of my soul, I have to pull out more energy for th~ next group pushing through the door. My favorite high school teacher was right when she warned that the real world is a cold, cruel world. They are what's cold. They come to my classroom with no warmth - no energy of their own, with an expresson that says "energize me" or, worse, "entertain me." But I'm willing to hy. I want to do it. I want to get past that desk and bring them to life. This exhausting drive of mine is fine, however, only as long as I leave it in the building where it's needed . I can't bring it home not to a dormitory . I feel myself changing gradually as I leave the school building and walk toward my residence hall. By the time I reach my dorm, I am no longer "teacher" but "student." It's a difficult adjustment. I can't be teacher/ authority in Sturdevant Hall; I must be student with senioritis. I feel as if I'm in limbo - trapped somewhere between one world and another, belonging to neither. And I've discovered that I'm not alone. Any nurse in clinical or anyone on an internship can understand. These people are dealing with desks, too. The nurses find themselves behind the nurses' desk, but they know the real challenge is when they come out from behind it to work with the patients. Co-op jobs, especially those appropriate to business careers, have desks too. The Wilkes student on the job can know all the theory and understand the system, but, until he crosses over the desk to meet the people, he is really not a part. of the real world. And so we all, student-teachers, nurses, and co-op persons, cross over those desks in our respective ways and win our first victories in the real world. We are excited about it, but we soon discover that our friends who are still only "students" aren't interested in sharing our excitement. Over and over again, we remain silent, aware that we can't bring that world out there home and D'Vorzon Awarded Top Prize The abstract art work above entitled "Acabonac Air-Landing'' was painted this year by Berenice D'Vorzon, Associate Professor of Art at Wilkes College. It is part of her collection of acrylics which are currently on display in the Sordoni Art Gallery until April 18.

Berenice D'Vorzon, Associate Professor of Art at Wilkes College, was recently awarded first place for the best abstract painting in the Annual Guild Hall Members Exhibition at East Hampton, Long Island, N.Y. D'Vorzon's acrylic, entitled "Hot Night on Tick Island," was chosen by an eminent jury whose members included Yvonne Hagen, Ibram · Lassaw, and Mahonri Sharp Young. The Guild Hall membership is composed of professional New York artists who reside or work on Long Island. The award-winning painting is part of a. series of landscape- inspired abstractions which Ms. D'Vorzon is developing during her temporary leave of absence from Wilkes College.

The two worlds don't mix. And yet - even though I miss it - I wouldn't return to sit on the student side of the desk if I had to sacrifice standing before it to do so. I want to cross over it, or remove it as a barrier, to reach my students, but I now belong on "the other side of the desk." Perhaps the reason that I can not return fully to the student side of the desk is because I know too much. The other side of the desk is a separate world from which my view of things is altered. I see things differently. I see the Wilkes faculty differently. I see myself in anew way. It was a struggle to cross over the desk and I admit that this may be the reason I want the desk removed: because I want to be able to flit back and forth from "student" to "teacher." I want to .destroy the formality in my classroom because_ I keep thinking "Heyl I'm only four years older than these seniors. Some of my close friends on campus are only a year older then they I" But there isn't a desk between my friends and me. That desk is an obstacle to my relationship with the students, but what if I remove it? Will they no longer see me as authority and take advantage of me? You bet. When I consider this - the desk stays. So I maintain the distance. I take on an attitude that turns that desk into a wall. Oh-oh. Not only are the students building walls, but I am, too. Am I giving that desk too much weight? But it was so hard to move from one side to the other. It was the biggest hurdle I've ever had to jump in my life! Perhaps I'm looking at the desk in the wrong way. Maybe it's not for me to cross over the desk, but the students who should make the effort . Isn't it true that, ideally, the student should be reaching out for knowledge? The desk must remain, not as an obstacle, however, but as a symbol of the distance they must cross to reach knowledge and as a symbol of the bridge between being a student and a valuable contributor to the world . . I will meet my students half-way and help them, but only if they make the effort to cross over the desk and reach toward real education. I'm seeing the student's role from the other side of the desk and I'm realizing that I, some of my friends, and many Wilkes students are not making the effort. The reason I must change when I come back to the dorm from teaching is because here I must complain about work and any efforts I make in order to learn. As part of the stJdent body, I must expect to be spoon fed . Well, as a student and as a teacher, I want to destroy the limbo I'm in and unite my two worlds. Yes, I love the feeling of having senioritis and I wouldn't give up this temporary craziness, but let me admonish my fellow Wilkes students to start reaching out for knowledge. I realize now that many Wilkes faculty will meet their students halfway if the students make the effort to learn, if the students become their own energizers. The desk can symbolize a distance kept between faculty and students . But notice when you're in class that most students sit toward the back keeping not one but several desks between themselves and the teacher. As students, we hide behind a sea of desks, wanting only to be spoon fed the information and not making any efforts of our own. Yet we must, for, soon enough, we all will be on the other side of the desk.

Hattersley read before an audience of approximately 25 students and faculty. Before reading his work, Hattersley discussed his view of poetry. He said that poetry is a precision, seeing the world in a precise way. He said that a poem should be a single flow of images which present a picture. The work should be concentrated and should never tell the reader what he should feel but, rather, should pre- sent images which will create the feeling. The poet commented that there is a war between the mind and reality which is constantly shaping and changing our imagination . Poet.y, he concluded, is the effort to catch emotion rather than to create a picture. Hattersley began reading with what he called "quiet poems." These poems were largely description which revealed the poet's sharp eye for detail. The poems I found especially well written and interesting were those in which he wrote about Cape Cod, where he DckerTape The Women's Free Lecture Series will present Kristie Hishman in a discussion on "A Psychology Approach to Disability," in the meeting room of Osterhout Library on Tuesday, April 5 from 12 to 1 p.m. ® by Kevin Fagan ----------~INCE 'f()l)'Rf.

At the end of his reading, he was asked for encore readings of some of the poems he had read and he was asked specific, detailed questions by some members of the audience. The poet commented that it is always an experience to read one's work in fron t of a new audience. He also commented that never before had anyone asked him questions dealing directly with specific lines and words. The reading was 'a success, to me, because of the audience response as well as the poet's willingness to first discuss his philosophy of poetry and then to answer the questions directed at him. Poetry readings are a valuable, educational program and the Manuscript Society should be commended for offering a fine reading, ·n,Hs ~E.11>5VAf'E.R, 1 OEMAKV -ro Ktlow If 'IOU IN"fE.NO fO f'RIMi' A RE:f(U,C:flON \ Wf.\..L ,1'1-\1'5 IS wrri-tOlJ1" A QOu&, -r"E.

The ladies only managed a total of four hits, but they used them to good advantage. The opening day line-up was the following: pitcher Sue Schwartz, catcher Karen Johnson, first base Lori Cashour, second base Renee Dougherty, third base Cas,hy Lee, shortstop Theresa McGraw, leftfield Charlene Hurst , centerfield Lisa Gi_gliello, and rightfield Karen Bove. Sue Schwartz, a freshman, had a good day both on the mound and at the plate. She tossed a one-hitter while issuing 7 walks and striking out 4. At the plate she managed 2 hits in 3 at bats. The other big performers for the team were jmiors Karen Johnson and Stacy Keeley and freshman Lisa Gigliello. Karen went 1 for 3 and knocked in one run , Stacy went for 1 for 1 with an rbi, and Llsa accounted for a run. As a tune-up for the regular season , the Lady Colonels travelled to Maryland to play a pair of exhibition games. The trip served a dual purpose, for it both created team co. hesion and provided the coaching staff with a chance to evaluate the new talent. All in all it was a successful purney for the team as they battered Washington College 16-3 and edged Western Maryland 8-6. A lopsided victory is always nice, but in the second game the Lady Colonels fought back from a 6-0 first inning deficit to pull out an impressive victory. The offensive leaders for the preseason were Karen Bove, Karen Johnson, and Cathy Lee. Bove belted out 3 cbubles and a triple enroute to compiling a .625 average. Johnson slammed a homer and a triple on the way to a .600 average. In addition she drove in 4 runs. Lee hit at an even .500 clip and knocked in 4 also . , The 1982 edition of the Lady Colonel softball team is for the most part young and inexperienced. There are five returning players from last year's squad, and it will be up to them to provide leadership for their young teammates. Heading this group of returnees is captain Karen Johnson, and she is repined by "veterans" Karen Bove, Stacy Keely , Kim Smith, and Carol Hagen. The first year players on the team are Lori Cashour, Jeanne Dougherty, Renee Dougherty, Llsa Gigliello, Diane Hall, Charlene Hurst, Marian Karmataviez, Debbie Kramer, Sue Leach , Cathy Lee, Theresa McGraw , Sue Schwartz , and Lynn Bush. The Lady Colonels will open their MAC slate with a cbubleheader against Juniata on April 3 at Kirby Park. LADY COLONELS A HIT IN 1982 DEBUT. Sue Schwartz, a freshman pitcher, connects for one of her two hits. The team downed Misericordia 3-1 at Kirby Park. from the bench by Ellen Van Riper CAGE ACTION AT THE GYM. The men of Bedford Hall took on WBRE last Thursday. The guys from Wilkes woo the contest handily. The temperature has been gradually rising over the past two weeks, and there has also been a similar rise in the number of pggers. The winter die-hards have been pined by their · fellow veterans who have come out of hibernation and also by legions of beginners. People are becoming more and more aware of the importance of physical fitness, and to many the solution is pgging. Jogging has become extremely popular for a number of reasons. First of all it is a relatively inexpensive activity. The only big expense'is a pair of decent running shoes . One could also buy expensive clothing and accessories, but all that is really needed are shorts, socks , t-shirts, and a sweat suit for colder weather. The second reason for the wave of pgging mania is the fact that the activity promotes cardiovascular fitness . The recent health awareness of the nation has been focusi ng upon this fact. On the surface the whole thing appears to be rather simple. All the pgger has to cb is tie the laces and take to the streets. Even though the road may appear to be a bed of roses, there are still thorns which can harm and impede thepgger. For those who run along roadways and/or sidewalks there are numerous things of which to be wary. Veteran pggers all develop "street sense," but those who are µst starting may face a road fraught with danger. The mapr problem concerns automobiles and ignorant dri_yers . · Car exhaust, especially during rush hour, is not the most pleasant thing to breath in, so avoidance of mapr toads is a good idea . Other than this cars themselves ' are completely harmless. Unfortunately, . i 0 nothing more infuriating than runevery veteran pgger has a good story to tell.

The scholarships, · which normally cover the full cost of room and board of the RA s on campus, will be maintained at the.present amount of approximately $2100. The loss for the upcoming RAs, with the scheduled tuition hike next semester, will be over $200, according to Paul Adams, Director . nf Housing. These cuts, said Adams, are a result of the budget cuts from Washington. Because the RAs are so well compensated at this school, he said, when the cuts came their scholarships were naturally vulnerable. Adams commented that the students will still be receiving about 90 % of their room and board. At present it is unknown whether there will be any futher cuts in the scholarships. Adams said that he hoped a future percentage of room and board would be established. Resident Assistants are graduate or undergraduates who are members of the Dean of Student Affairs Staff. 'Fhe RA is responsible for assisting students in adjusting to dorm life, promoting an educational atmosphere in the dorm and assisting students with personal problems. He must keep records, work the duty desk and adhere to the college rules and regulations. The RA s are required to keep housing directors informed of the maj or p lans d ev eloped b y students.

Two Urban Summer Assistants will be hired to conduct the 4-H Street Camp program in the WilkesBarre area. An interest in young people as well as in furthering the 4-H program are important considerations. Applications from college students are preferred. 4-H Camp Shehaqua positions are also still open and include those of cook, assistant cook, choreperson and lifeguard. The lifeguard must have a current American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Certificate to apply. Applications for the Urban Summer Assistant positions are due by April 23, 1982. Lifeguard and other Shehaqua position applications are due by April 30, 1982.

Their duties also include encouraging the students to take an active role in college activities. To be eligible for the RA position students are required to be fulltime students. They must have lived in a residence hall for a year. A 2.0 average must be maintained during employment and also the studentsm ust maintain a satisfactory conduct record . They must make time available fo r the students in their hall as well as time to fulfill their job requirements. They must possess group skills and be involved in at least one aspect of campus life. Students express mixed views on the scholarship cuts, but almost all agree that the RA s did their jobs. Betsy Keller, a junior with a communications major who will be a RA next year, said that she doesn't mind the cuts. She commented, "It's not that bad." She is presently a resident at Doane Hall and will assume the responsibilities of RA there next fall for 11 students. She said that some of the RA's responsibilities are phone duties, notes about the dorm and locking up the dorm for vacations. Candy Marshall, .a junior with a communications major, spoke highly of the RA in her dorm , which is Sterling Hall. She said, "I think they should be paid besides their room and board because it's a difficult job." "I think it's fair," said Anne Crossin, a senior, who is presently a RA at Sturdevant Hall. She said that the RA s will still be getting a lot of benefits from · it. She commented that it's the experience you're getting , not the monetary value. The job is difficult.she said in that its hard to keep everything running and everyone happy. S~e said, "Some times there's a lot of pressure." "I can't disagree at all," said Theresa Shemo, a junior, who will be a RA for her second year next semester, "because the money that'sthere is still a help ." She is the RA for Barre Hall. She commented that the job doesn't compensate enough because of the amount of personal time that goes into it. But, she said, "I knew all that before I got the job." John Werez, a sophomore of communications, said that he thinks most of the RA's take their jobs seriously. He said, "When I had a question they were there to answer it." Werez has had three different RA s sinr.e he has come to Wilkes. He is a resident of Pick niug Hall As for the cuts, he said, "l g:11 ,iss they are justified." "ThPy w.ere good," said Brian Crane , a sophomore with a Business Administration major. But he commented that the RAs are here for the same reason as the rest of the students and that they shouldn't receive full room and board for their work. Leigh Major, a junior who is a RA forSturdevantHall .commented about the cuts. She said that if everyone around the college has to get cutbacks , "I don't see why we shouldn't ." HAIL TO THE CHIEF!

Nominations and elections for the Executive Council were also-held at that meeting. The results are as follows: Ralph Prin.l?le, Vice-President ; Keith Sana;, Treasurer ; Cherie Burke, Recording Secretary ; and Shelly Urban , Corresponding Secretary. A fund request for $265 by th'e Human Services Committee was unanimously passed by SG. In requesting the money , Chris Lain explained that $115 is needed for prizes for Blood Donor Day, and $150 is needed to supply refreshments fo r the Walk-a-thon. Outgoing SG Presi~nt Ana New Pee.- Coan:1elllng P1og1am, Beglnalng Ne.&t Fall, Re·vl:1ed by Rebecca Whitman After a series of revisions due to differences between the Administration and Student Government in interpretation, the proposed Peer Counseling program at the college is ready to begin operations during the 1982 fall semester. Originally designed as a counseling and referral system run by student volunteers, Peer Counseling would offer information and assistance in fin ding campus and community organizations. Students would have the chance to get other students' opinions on questions and problems. It was proposed that students chosen as counselors would go through a five week training program with various community services, such as Mental Health-Mental Retardation . A series of revisions in this definition, suggested by the deans and members of the Psychology Department, temporarily stalled the program. The Administration feared that Peer Counseling would try to deal with problems it was not qualified to handle. "It was basically a problem of semantics," said Cindy Bonham, chairperson of the Peer Counseling project. "We didn't say what we meant. We didn't expect our counselors to sit down and give advice on serious or involved problems." Other revisions suggested by the Administration were that the referrals should be internal, to organizations apd faculty on campus, and that all training of counselors should be done by campus psychologists. These revisions have been accepted. However, Bonham stated that ·she "would like to see seminars for the program's counselors involving com munity agencies ." Bonham a d ded that she "definitely thinks there is a need for the program not to overstep or eliminate the deans or R.A.'s, but as a supplement." Now that the service has been defined, Peer Counseling will begin only a few weeks behind schedule. "We had planned to have the training sessions this semester so the program could begin with the fall semester," said Bonham, "but now we will not train until the fa ll and begin counseling sometime in October." Inter views of p erspective counselors have already taken place, but selections have not been made. Though 20 counselors were originally hoped fo r, only 16 students applied. Those students chosen will be expected to hold office hours and be on call for the program's proposed hotline. No decision has been made on the location of a Peer Counseling office. Nunez thanked members for a ' ' great year,'' and commented that her experience as President was an enpyable one. Kerchusky welcomed the new members of the executive council, ~d said she is ''looking forward to -a ~d year wit-h Student Government. ' · Dean Arthur Hoover, SG Ad- \ visor, took time at the end of the meeting to comment on the apparent apathetic attitude of several SG members. Of the 26 voting members , only 14 bothered to show u~ at the meeting. Hoover stated, " It s a shame that we have such a small turnout for such an important meeting.'' He went on to comment that, as representatives of the student body, the reps should make every effort to attend each meeting, especially one of such importance.

Haggerty, Jr. The · recent appearance of Admiral Carroll at Wilkes College brought about great fanfare from the advocates of a nuclear weapons freeze. Every cause needs its 'authorities' and Admiral Carroll is one of the 'authorities' of the nuclear freeze movement. At his evening talk, Admiral Carroll combined his sense of humor with his military knowledge, and the result was a speech which told the freeze advocates just what they wanted to hear. But between the redundant criticisms of President Reagan and the humorous doomsday quips, an objective observer could find serious fault with the Admiral's nuclear freeze argument. The Admiral argued against modernization or development of our strategic nuclear arsenal on the simple basis that "the United States has the advantage in 10tal number of strategic weapons and has more accurate and more reliable weapons." This is the core argument of Natif.>na,ide Programs To Focus On The Threat-Of Nuclear War Students and educators throughout the United States are being asked to join in nationwide programs on April 22 which will focus on the growing threat of nuclear war and the harmful economic ef·, fects of the arms race.

The nuclear freeze argument relies on the condition of, at least, U.S. parity with the Soviets . A hard look, however, at each arsenal shows the U.S. seriously deficient in two of the three legs of the Triad, and totally lacking in an intermediate capability. So, the next time you hear someone mention the nuclear freeze, remember the capabilities of both sides. Then, make your decision to support the freeze and its Soviet advantage or not. Why didn't the Admiral mention all this? Something this important isn't easy to forget, or is it? Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley. i 9 W.

The luncheon, a catered affair, will be attended by about 120 to 130 recipients and presenters. The awards to be presented are significant because they "single out and honor those students who have distinguished themselves" through both curricular and extra-curricular activities, said Dean Arthur J. Hoover, chairperson for the event. "Historically, certain awards are given out at Commencement," said Hoover. They include the Alumni Award for Leadership, the Wandell Award (highest academic achievement), the Nada Vujica Memorial Award and three Divisional Awards. The awards presented 'at the luncheon will be of two types: Academic Awards, and Appreciation-Merit-Service Awards. The academic awards are chosen by the individual departments, while the other awards are chosen by people wno are involved in the specific clubs and organizations that are presenting the awards. j "There's always input in any case; says Hoover. The awards will be presented directly after lunch . Members of the departments 9r groups involved will present each award. While President Capin will make an opening speech, the presenters and recipients will not make speeches, Hoover explains, "in the interest of time." Some awards that will be presented are: the John F. Kennedy Award for Proficiency in History, presented by the History Department; the Frank J. J. Davies English Award, presented by the Department of Language and Literature; Theta Delta Rho Senior Awards; and IRHC Awards. There will also be an Academic Excellence Award presented by Act 101. Members of Who's -Who Among American Colleges and Universities will be presented with certificates by Dean Hoover. Closing remarks will be made by Dean Ralston who, according to Dean Hoover, has a "unique and amiable quality for tieing things together." ,The Awards Luncheon was begun a few years ago . In the 1950's, weekly assemblies were required. The last assembly of the year was devoted to giving out these special awards. When the weekly assemblies were abolished, Deans Hoover and Ralston, in cooperation with President Capin, decided to honor these students. "We're proud, " Hoover stresses, because, he says students have distinguished themselves. "Honoring students is what it's all about," says Hoover. The awards and recipients will be listed in the 1982 Commencement Program. Quartet Joins Wilkes· 50th Anniversary Celebration The world renowned Fitzwilliam String Quartet will be on hand in September to join in the celebration of the Wilkes College 50th Anniversary Celebration.

Under the guidance of coaches Nancy Roberts and.Gay Meyers, the ladies have recorded six straight victories and are still counting. Since edging Misericordia 3-1 in the season opener, the Lady Colone ls have swept double -headers against both Mansfield and King's and have scored a single victory over LCCC. The games against Mansfield were played at Kirby Park, and both were routs . In the first game, fresh man Sue Schwartz notched her first collegiate no-hitter as the Lady Colonels won convincingly 13-1. Sue pitched five innings, gave up 6 walks, and struck out 3 to r;aise her record to 2-0. ' . The hitting was simply awesome. As a team the ladies amassed 11 hits in 23 at-bats. Individually there was a host of stars. Karen Johnson, a jmior catche~ and captain of the team , went 2 for 2 including a homerun and 3 rbi 's, Sue Schwartz helped her own cause with a double in one at-bat and 3 rbi 's, Karen Bove and Stacy Keeley each went 2 for 3 with 2 rbi's, and Cathy Lee and Charlene Hurst each went 2 for 3 with an rbi apiece . The second game was more of the same as the ladies won 14-3 behind the pitching of freshman Lynn Bush who threw a two-hitter and only allowed a single earned run. Enroute she struck-out 7 and walked a pair. This time the Lady Colonels only '"-t~le:te: 0f Tlle:1'e: by Ellen Van Riper This spring the Lady Colonel softball team has been blessed with both success and Sue Schwartz, or both Sue Schwartz and success. To be more succinct, one has become synonymous with the other. So far Sue, a freshman pitcher, has com' -piled a 5-0 record for Nancy Roberts' 6-0 team. For her perfect performance, Sue has been honored as theBeacon Athlete of the Week . Sue was the winning pitcher in the Lady Colonels' · victories over Misericordia 3-1, Mansfield 13-1, King's twice 8-1 and 10-8; and LCCC 10-4. Against Mansfield Sue tossed her first collegiate no-hitter, and in the second King 's game she relieved fellow freshman Lynn Bush to pick up the win. The statistics are_so far very impressive. They include a 1.37 earned run average, 27 stike-outs, and 27 walks . In addition Sue has also been a key offensive contributor with a .357 average and 3 rbi 's. A resident of -Glen Lyon and a · graduate of Nanticoke Area High School, Sue is as yet undecided as to an academic maj:,r, but it is obvious that athletically she has decided to help make 1982 successful for the Lady Colonels. . Though only a freshman, Sue has brought both excellence and experience to the Wilkes team . She pitched four years in hi_gh school and six years in a highly competitive summer league . The league has provided her with a chance to sharpen her skrlls against Division I and II players. An unassumin individual Sue Chuck Robbins ...

She "didn't expect it early in the season.'' Of course, she also gave much of the credit for her success to the rest of the team and her batterymate Karen Johnson. Pitching accounts for only onethird of the winning formula and Sue acknowledges this fact. In her opinion her teammates are the best hitters around and also excellent fielders. For instance, in the second King's game Sue was behind 7-6, but the team rallied on two outs to gain the victory. Sue considers herself fortunate to have a catcher of Karen Johnson 's calibre with whom to work. A jmior and also a summer league veteran, Karen is an experienced and knowledgeable player. She is a virtual coach on the field and an invaluable asset to any pitcher. The Wilkes program has also proven to be much to Sue's liking.

Based on an expected student population of 1,950 next year, he calculated th~ total sum of money that SG could expect to have next year. He then broke down the total into specific allocations to certain clubs, organizations and activities. In the first three plans, there will be a deficit at the end of the 1982-83 school year if any of these plans are adopted. In the last two plans, however, there will be no deficit, provided that next year's Council will receive the money left over from this year's buffer fund. The major difference among the five plans include: a small reduction of the Amnicola budget; decreases in the allocations to various clubs and organizations; a decrease in the amount set aside for all-college weekends; and a reduction in the amount of money to be used for the 50th anniversary activities. During the discussion of the budget proposals, Rob Doty suggested that two budgets be proposed - one that could be used if SG is not able to receive the buffer fund money and one that will be put into effect if that money is transferred to next year's account. Chris Lain suggested that perhaps the student activity fee could be raised five dollars to provide more' money to the SG budget. Wirkman noted that the budget had to be approved by the SG body by the end of this semester. Next week, the first reading of the budget will be given for the body's consideration. Chris Fellin, student rep to the Academic Standards Committee, stated that, at the most recent meeting of this committee, the policy concerning examinations during the final week of the semester was discussed. It was noted at the meeting that the policy, as it appears now in the Student Handbook, was supposedly voted down two years ago by the faculty . However, there is no record of the faculty's action on this in the minutes of the meetings. As a result, the policy has been printed in the Student Handbook, even though it was supposedly voted out of effect. Fellin noted that the committee would discuss this matter further and that he March Of Dime• Walk·A·Thon Will Cover 30 Kilometer• by Thomas Jordan Wilkes College Human Services Committee and the March of Dimes are sponsoring the annual WalkAmerica Walk-a-Thon on Sunday, April 25. McDonalds and radio station Rock 107 are also sponsors. The walk will bgein at 8 a.m. on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. The walk is 30 kilometers, about 18 miles . Pledges will be made by the kilometer. This is the 10th year for the Walk-a-thon . The purpose of the walk is to raise money for the March of Dimes. The money is used to combat the serious problem of birth defects. The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation supports national and local research , medical -services and education aimed at the prevention of birth defects. The Human Services Committee of Wilkes College has participated in the walk fo r the past several years. According to Tom Phillips, spokesman for the Human Services Committee, "the responsibilities of the committee are to supply volunteers for check points, keep order, provide food and try to recruit more volunteers. Phillips estimates that 40 or 50 students will participate. The W alkAmerica Walk-a-Thon is an important source of public support for the March of Dimes. It also gives everyone the chance to help fight birth defects . Last year over 200 people participated in the walk-a-thon. Any students wishing to participate in the Walk-a-thon should contact Tom Phillips at the Colonel House, Bruce Williams at Dennison Hall or the March of Dimes at 824-1345 . Congressman James Nelligan is expected to join in the walk-athon . On March 31 Nelligan joined 150 other members of the House and Senate to kick off the nation wide WalkAmerica Walk-a-Thon for the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation . Robert Prosser, Executive Director of the local March of Dimes, explained the purpose of the walk in Washington was to show support. He added that "each of the representatives is supposed to promote the walk-a-thon in each of their local districts." On Tuesday, April 13, Congressman Nelligan was scheduled to speak at the CPA at Wilkes College. The Congressman never showed up. The official reason given for Nelligan not showing up was a misunderstanding in communications . will present the students' point of view and try to retain the policy that no examinations may be given during the last week of classes in a semester. The first readings of two fund requests were given also. The Barbell Club is requesting $100 for the Mr. Wilkes contest which they want to sponsor this year for Muscular Dystrophy. Mike Garvin requested $275 for the boxing tournament to be held to raise money for the George Elliot Memorial -Scholarship Fund. Second readings on each of these requests will be made next week. SG President Elaine Kerchusky appointed Dave Talenti, a sophomore, as Parliamentarian for SG. He will serve as an advisor concerning parliamentary procedure, and will see that SG business is .conducted according to the constitution of that body. Kerchusky noted that Visitation Day was a success, and that the SG reps helped to contribute to its success. She commended those reps that participated in the activities on that day. Prospective Wilkes students were on campus this _Past Sunday for Visitation Day. Activities included interviews with faculty and administration members, and tours of the College campus and facilities.

Take prescription drugs, for example. The good patient doesn't simply take his medicine without question . No, the good patient exercises his responsibility and his right. If instructions aren't forthcoming from the doctor or pharmacist, the patient asks how and when the medicine should be taken and what side effects it might cause. Until recently, asking such questions was usually considered impertinent. But times are changing, and now some health professionals are encouraging their members to answer a patient's questions before they're asked. Much of this has come about because of an attempt at bureaucratic meddling. That attempt was a proposal by the Food and Drug Administration to require patient package inserts (PPis) for drugs. The idea had advanced to the point where, in 1980, the FDA identified 10 classes of drugs that would be tested with PPis in a three-year pilot program. That program was stayed last year by FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes Jr., and FDA proposed to withdraw it in December 1981. While that proposal is being commented on, Hayes set up a special group to coordinate government and industry plans for providing the public with information on drugs . Given a proper government name - Committee on Patient Education - that could be made into an acronym, COPE, the group set · to work. Ideas poured forth. Two proposals from outside government drew particular interest. One is a $1 million plan from Ciba-Geigy, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, and the other from the American Medical Circle K Receives Awards Recently, the Wilkes Circle K, a collegiate service or.ganization, attended the twentieth annual district convention in Harrisburg. This convention brought together members of Kiwanis, Circle K's and Key Clubs from all over Pennsylvania. Circle K'ers spend some of the time at convention retiring old officers, electing new officers and competing against each other for various awards . Wilkes received four such awards. The first of these awards was a 10/10 30 patch. This patch is given to any Circle K organization which increases its membership. Circle K at Wilkes now h.1s 41 members. It provides services for both the college and the community and it is sparking more and more interest among Wilkes students. For this reason, Wilkes is one of the larger Circle K clubs in Pennsylvania . The large membership, which Wilkes Circle K p rides itself on, also enabled them to win a second award. Circle K was commended for the most people in attendance at the convention; sixteen people were there . Wilkes Circle K garnered yet another trophy for the second place single service. The project for which this honor was received was a Haunted House. The Haunted House was held in October and it raised over $1400 for Multiple Sclerosis. Because of the many services provided during the past year, Wilkes Circle K won the first place trophy for overall achievement. These services were done for both the school and the community. They included working at the Science Exposition and wrestling tournaments, as well as parking cars for those attending the John Wilkes dinner. Circle K helped work the phones for both Wilkes phone-a-thons and Channel 44TV . Members helped to distribute Christmas gifts to the less fortunate and are currently helping to collect clothes for the needy. Numerous other projects have been accomplished and many more are being planned. EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT IS BEER & WINE BASH AT Association. Ciba-Geigy plans to spend a million dollars in the next few years to encourage a dialogue between patients and doctors/pharmacists about prescribed drugs. The firm 's plans include radio and television public service announcements and other advertisements. . BSNNURSES: JOINA PROFESSIONAL TEAM .:.

Adds Programs The field of Engineering is constantly expanding to meet new needs in industry and societal areas. Dr . Umid Nejib, chairman of the Department of Engineering, in a continuous effort to meet these needs, has announced that the Department wili incorporate into its curricula for Fall semester '82, two new programs leading to a B.S. degree in Engineering. Management and a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. According to the Engineers' Joint Council, approximately two thirds of all engineering graduates will spend half their careers as supervisors and managers in technological enterprises. "The objective of the new program in management, " Nejib said, "is to provide students to industry who can more adequately fill the needs in production and marketing than the traditional engineer ." He further stated, "For many years, the MBA was the only educational avenue open to those who aspired to management jobs. This will offer an alternative and still allow those who graduate from this program to complete the MBA in one additional year." The program will supply a track for those who cannot find the satisfaction in pure management or in pure engineering and will also give greater potential employment opportunities. The B.S . in Environmental Engineering is the Department's response to the needs for broad engineering approaches to society's environmental problems and the design of solutions for current and future problems. The new program is designed to provide a basic engineering foundation supplemented by specialized training in the areas of solid waste, air, water and related engineering areas. This is an interdisciplinary program which will include 30 credits in Earth and Environmental Science. Nejib said, "Job opportunities are abu ndant for graduates in this program. The field is wide and it includes private business, industry and government." The two new programs are an addition to the highly diversified engineering programs already incorporated-' into the curricula of the department. The laboratories on campus house some of the most sophisticated, · highly specialized equipment in the nation, giving undergraduate students access to hands-on experience usually not available until the graduate level. Further information concerning the new programs or existing programs may be obtained by calling the Department of Engineering at 824-4651, Extension 215.

We have recently become. aware of a new charge levelled against us. This new accusation concerns the fact that The Beacon does not cover local or national news. No, we do not!" Because we do not cover such news, how- · ever, does not mean we oon 't care or feel that others should not care, about what is going on in the world. There are a number of situations presently developing i?oth in fhe lpcal community , m the nation and in the world that we feel everyone should be aware of and concerned about. A few of these situations are the child abuse cases in Wyoming Valley, the economic situation m the United States and the Falkland Island crisis. While everyone knows a little about all of these situationsk there is a select group who now much more about them. This group is composed of professionals who nave been schooled and trained in order to deal with such matters. We do not _profess to know all there is to lrnow about why ReQple abuse · children, why the economy is in such a pqor condition, or what shoula (or will) happeµ with England and Argentina. Of course , we all lio~ that steps can be taken to reduce the amount of child abuse; we hope· the economic situation will imdprove in the near tuture ; an we hope there can be a peaceful solution to the crisis in the Falkland Islands. So this is the simP.le reason we have not dealt with situtions such as these. We feel we oo not know enough about these matters to be able to cover them , either in an article or in an editorial , and oo the matters or the campus any µstice. Student Urges Caution: 1\1X 1\1issile "lJnnecessary'' TO 11\Jat. IEfense To the Editor: I'm writing this in response to the criticisms of Steve Urbanski and James Haggerty concerning Admiral Carroll's nuclear war lecture. Generally speaking, we cannot judge the superiorities of either the U.S. or U.S.S.R. without looking into the specifics of the weaponry of both countries and compare strengths through accuracy or megatonage. I must admit, your data was very reasonable; however, I get the message that you do belive we have a window of vulnerability and that U.S . weaponry will be unable to handle a Soviet first strike. Scenario: Soviets launch their ICBM's against our ICBM silos and their SLBM's against US bomber and submarine bases. Many feel that our strategic weapons will be wiped out. They fail to realize that our infrared warning satellites would quickly detect the launching, and as many bombers as possible would be scrambled from the airfields. If the SLBM's would arrive first, they would attack airfields and submarine bases about 15 minutes after launch. This is plenty of time to launch the Minutemen and Titans before Student Commentary,----- Feathe:rs Fly In Amei:ican League by Stephen K. Urbanski and JamesJ. Haggerty, Jr. A lot has been written about the Falkland Island crisis in an attempt to analyze it from every angle. The one point that has been overlooked, however, is the pertinence of the crisis to the American budgetary process. (Now you can see why it was overlooked. ) The Falkland Island crisis is the best example since the Iranian hostage crisis of the need fo r a modernized American defense capability. The British, who once boasted the most powerful naval fleet in the world have been seriously challenged by Argentina, a third rate power.

H you' re interested in theatre, it's a fine play. H you 're interested in entertainment, 'it's still a fine play. It's Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Gui/denstern Are Dead, and it will be performed this weekend, April 23-25, by Wilkes' students under the direction of Dr. Michael O'Neill. Stoppard's play is a comedy based on Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet . It has heen advertised on campus as a play which "looks at Shakespeare s Hamlet through the eyes of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern two bewildered characters who ~ever comprehend the events taking place at Elsi~ore ." In 19'67, the play opened m Loncbn , and met with almost instant critical acclaim . It has been described by critics as "very funny, very brilliant, very chilling, " and it resonates with the pathos and existential uncertainty of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot . The 24-member cast will be led by Russell Curtis as Guildenstern and Gene Wachowski as Rosencrantz. The task before Curtis, a senior theatre arts maj:,r , and Wachowski, a freshman computer science maj:,r at Wilkes, is nothing less than formidable. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are difficult characters, for they are both farcical and tragic, and they exist in a nebulous world of purposeless action which seems to operate on someJ!evel beyond their own understancing. Stoppard's play itself is a type of Chinese box. The defining, encompassing action of the play is the tragedy of Shakespeare's Hamlet . Within the confines of this plot exists Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead , and at the center are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who must act out their roles as court attendants to the king and prince of Den mark (Claudius and Hamlet). Stoppard thus creates a play within a play , a box within a box; Rosen crantz and Guildenstern must grope for meaning while confined within these invisible boxes, like the mime who tries to escape from a chamber of walls he cannot see, but only feel. Shakespeare's Hamlet is the cause of tragedy, and Stoppard's play shows how that tragedy compels two characters , who are powerless to escape from the effects of a morally corrupted society , to follow the dictates of a plot which has been written without their knowledge, and without their consent. The humor of Rosencrantz and Gui/denstern Are Dead is sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant. A few scenes are sheer slapstick, and a lot of fun . In other instances, Stoppard uses humor to manipulate the audience and simultaneously comment on the action of the play. However, the many stumblings, j:,kes, puns, word games , and even the loud and boisterous farce cannot be dismissed as merely a means to allow Stoppard to exercise his funny bone or flex his intellectual muscles; the play's humorous epi sodes drive home the point that man, a puny creature playing a part in a vast universal system, often times appears ludicrous as he aspires to understand his own existence. Humor also humanizes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern : though they may not understand their lives, they cb understand one anot her , and their humor encourages the ~udience to Russell Curtis, Gene Wachowski, and Frank Kren (L-R) practice for this weekend's performance of Tom Stoppard's_Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. perceive them as merely men, to relate to them and later sympathize with their condition. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 's inchoate understanding of their own situations, which begins to appear near the end of the play , does not seem to redeem them or save them, for they are always the victims of an obdurate fate . For those who want to explore the philosophical implications of the character's restrained freedom and free will. oerhaps the play will provide an interesting start ing point. However, the rest of us will probably µst go to enj:,y the fun of it all . Rosencrantz and Gui/dens/em Are Dead will be performed at the Center for the Performing Arts, and showtimes will be Friday and Satur day at 8 p.m. , and Sunday_ at 2, p.m . Tickets are free to all Wilkes stu · dents upon presentation of Wilkes ID . Reservations are encouraged. Sordonl Art Gallery Exhibit Follows 11\Jostalgic Theme Of Early America As Wilkes College prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary, it is appropriate that the featured artist for the April/May exhibit at the Sordoni Art Gallery is David Armstrong, whose works follow a nostalgic theme portraying an earlier way of life in America. The exhibit, mostly watercolors, will open to the public on April 25 and remain in the Gallery until May 23. In a recent article in the William Penn Memorial Museum Association's Journal, on Armstrong's work, they state, "At age 31, Armstrong has already received the critical acclaim and public following traditionally reserved for artists with twice as many years of productivity. His realist depictions of landscapes and neighbor's portraits have been applauded for their breath of detail and control."

The exhibit will formall y open on April 23, when the Advisory Commission to the Gallery invites Friends of Sordoni to an "Americana Dinner" to preview the show and meet the artist. Marilyn Maslow, a member of the Commission, is coordinating and serving as chairperson for the dinner. The paintings by Armstrong focus on selections from a series entitled, " The Vanishing American Craftsman," in which he pays homage to the men and women who devoted time and energy throughout their lives to a form of art which may soon disappear from American culture. Armstrong lives and works on a 100-acre far m in Unityville, YOUR SNACK BAR'S SPECIALS & SOUPS FOR NEXT WEEK MONDAY Chili over Rice Split Pea Soup TUESDAY located 50 miles west of WilkesBarre. There he grows his own food and still uses a horse and buggy to seek out his subjects. Dr. William Sterling, chairman of the Art Department at Wilkes says of the artist, "Armstrong paints almost daily out-of-doors and in all seasons, usually on his farm in the rolling hills of Lycoming County . Through the clean naturalism of his style, he registers a self-effacing commitment to the landscape and. to those who live in harmony with it. In an age of highly mechanized living and urbanized culture, he does not regard himself as a throwback to some long-departed era of rural self-suste'nance. Instead, he seeks to reaffirm the values and beauties inherent to ATTENTION STUDENTS : The March of Dimes Walk-AThon Superwalk will be on Sunday, April 25 starting at 8 a.m. at Public Square.

This is usually a fairly simple and painless process with most students staying in their present dorm and simply changing rooms. However, for the girls in Sterling and Barre halls and the people in the Sterling Inn Towne, room selection will cause frustration and more than a little melancholy; we will not receive the option of returning to our dorms . However, this article is not written to complain about t!w closing of dorms, the new dorm, or the room selection process. I long ago thew away any malice I felt toward the Administration or Housing Office. In fact, I'm beginning to look forward to moving into the "New Dorm ." It will be sort of a "pioneer adventure"; everything will be new and exciting (and I'm counting on a lot of mechanical and architectural screw-ups that will make good articles for The Beacon next year) . Still, it is hard to imagine not walking to and from Barre Hall everyday. I'm sure that for the first few weeks next fall I'll catch myself walking, out of habit, back to Barre. Maybe, I'll even do it on purpose a few times, just to look at it and reminisce about all I did while living there. I will never forget my first view of Barre Hall. The summer before my senior year of high school, when I was trying to decide where to get my "higher education," I was given a tour of Wilkes which included "a typical women's dorm ," Waller Hall. Naturally, as mom and I drove past Waller and Doane one year later on the first day of orientation, I was sure that the yet unseen Barre would be as good or better. We faithfully followed the helpful little signs held by grimacing students, but what we pulled up in front of looked like the workhouse from Oliver Twist. Assuming we had made a mistake, I asked a girl standing in the driveway which building was Barre. She pointed straight at "The House of Usher." All it lacked was a large foggy marsh surrounding it. My heart sunk; the place had all the warmth and charm of an 18thcentury textile factory. I fully expected to be greeted at the door by Vincent Price and Peter Lorre. Inside, I was led to what turned out to be my cave instead of my room. The walls had large hunks of plaster missing and the floor slanted about 45 degrees (okay, I exaggerate, 20 degrees). Then, as if to add insult to injury, the new freshmen were informed by the upperclassmen that Barre had the worst reputation on campus. The last thing a freshman girl needs to hear on her first day at college, after already being told the horrors of hazing, is that the "House of Gloom " she has been assigned to is also considered "sleazy." That evening my roommate and I plotted our escape. Somehow though , I never got around to finishing that tunnel we started under my bed . Barre started to grow on me. My room was plastered and painted. · I actually began to enjoy the snickers I got when I informed people I was from Barre Hall . As the year went on, I realized how nice it was to be on the end of the campus, because, much to everyone's dismay, Barre turned out to be a very quiet dorm . However, its past reputation allowed us to say or do what we pleased; we were expected to be wild and obnoxious. Within the dorm, we joked about our "dorm apathy" as compared to other dorms' "unity." Though we plead apathy, this year we proved we could pull together. We cleaned up the front yard and sold pretzels so we could buy flower bulbs. We all cried together the night they told us we were being evicted. Together we planned to save our dorm by demonstrating and causing large riots that ..·involved the National Guard and tear gas. These, of course, all fell through, though I would still have fun being handcuffed and dragged to one of those police vans (call me a hopeless romantic) . The fact that we are being relocated has given us more unity than ever before. We are making the best of our term inal situation . We got new dorm shirts with tombstones and the years Barre opened and closed on them and we are planning an end of the year wake to send the place off in style. I wanted to burn it down, sort of cremate it, but Housing said that was not in the party policy. The point of all this unabashed sentimentality is that I will miss being a "Barre Girl" an awful lot, as I am sure everyone else who is being relocated ·will miss · their "home." I will miss the quiet and privacy of Barre. I will miss being able to walk to the soda machine on Sunday mornings in my grungy nightshirt with slits where my eyes used to be, looking like Johnny Rotten on a bad day (wait, maybe Frazier after Ali beat him the second time is a better description) . I will miss the two inch long hairy centipedes that seem to think they have as much right to my shower as I do. Yes, I will even miss the corner of my room that flows like Niagara Falls when it rains. I will miss the entire slighty . off-beat, decadent aura of Barre Hall.

The Colonels' second loss came at the hanch of King's. Wilkes won the first two matches as Battle and jmior Jim Watkinson rolled up wins, but freshman Mike Colina lost to Tom Macfarland of King's to break the Colonel streak, and King's went on to win 7-2. T he second loss to King's came by the same score, but this time Colonel wi nners were senior Barry Spevak and the cbubles tandem of freshmen James Rutherford and Jim Harney. Dave Battle won his third singles match of the year as Susquehanna University defeated the Wilkes net- ters 7-2. Barry Spevak also added a win for the losers . Wilkes came up against powerho use competition from both Lycoming and the University of Scranton. The Colonels lost both matches 9-0 , but several of the games came cbwn to the wire. Dave Battle, J im Watkinson , and Mike Colina all played ext remely tough agai nst thei r respective opponents. The second half of the season promises to be no easier fo r Wilkes. They still have matches against Elizabethtown, Juniata , and another against Scranton. especially in thP. P.xtra inninirs. Lynn Busch went the entire 9 innings walking 9, striking-out 2, and allowing 3 earned runs on 13 hits. Again, there was 'a high number of unearned runs (10), but luckily the hitting more than compensated for the fielding blunders. The offensive barrage was both powerful and balanced . Theresa McGraw capped off a fine day by highlighting the second game with a grandslam homerun on perfect 2 for 2 hitting. Lynn Busch also showed her stuff at the plate going 3 for 6, including a homerun and 3 RBIs. Additional firepower was provided by Karen Johnson, Renee Dougherty, Karen Bove, Sue Leach, and Lisa Gigliello. Johnson added a homerun and 4 RBIs while going 2 for 4. Dougherty had only one hit in 4 attempts, but 3 RBIs as did Leach. Gigliello went 2 for 4 and added an RBI. ATTENTION: ALL ATHLETES The Annual Athletic Awards OUCH!! Ken Sorick, this issue's Athlete of the Week, is hit by a pitch from a Bloomsburg pitcher. What hurt even more was a 13-3 fi rst game Colonel loss.

She went the distance walking 11, striking-out 5, and giving up only 2 earned runs on 4 hits. The 8 unearned runs are a reflection of a breakdown in the usual vacuumlike Lady Colonel defense. Theresa McGraw led the attack going 2 for 4 with 4 RBIs . Also contributing were Cathy Lee (2 for 4, 3 RBIs), Sue Schwartz (1 for 4 'including a homerun), Karen Johnson (2 for 3 with a triple) and Karen Bove (2 for 5 with a double).

Referring to last week's successes of the team, Ken commented, "It's just a matter of bringing both our hitting and fielding together and lately we've been doing it. It's still early in the season, but over all it looks like its going to be a winning season for Wilkes. " Ken has certainly brought both his hitting and fielding together . In last Thursday's doubleheader against Albright,Ken came up with an impressive two run homer along with a single in the first round of action and maintained his hitting in the second with three RBIs. When the Colonels traveled to Delaware Valley on Saturday they split the doubleheader by taking the second game with a score of 12 to 3. Ken turned in his usual fin e performance behind homeplate, and came up two for three in his batting in the first game of that doubleheader. Ken has been playing exceptionally well as atested to by both his coaches and teammates. He takes his easy-going manner and general good-naturedness with him both on and off the field . Ken took his being picked as Athlete of the Week with a smile saying only, 'Tm happy to have been picked, what else can I say." Well Ken you don't really have to say anything your recent performances on the field say it all. by Pat Brannon While a switch in positions in any sport may cause some difficulties, this week's athlete of the week, Ken Sorick has made that change and done it well. In going from positions both in the infield and outfield for the Colonel's baseball team, Ken has now moved into the starting line's catcher position . Seeing Ken in the past in the field, and now behind homeplate supports the view of many that Ken is an all-around, hard working, versatile player. Ken started his baseball career playing shortstop at Wyoming Area High School playing for none other than present Wilkes' Coach Bob Duliba. In his two previous years playing for the Colonels, Ken's talents were put to use in . both the infield and outfield covering the position he was needed for at the time. Ken has had to adjust to a change in ,positioning this year once again, but it seems Ken may be catching permanently as he has proven in the past weeks that the change has been a good one both for him and the team . While talking to Ken about his new position, he said there is a difference between playing in the field and being behind the plate, but he really likes catching and hopes that everything keeps going well .

In 1981 the Lady Colonel softball team ended up 8-11 and out in the cold during the MAC playoffs. 1982 has so far seen a complete turnaround. At present the ladies are 9 -1-1 including an opening 7-game win streak, and barring a complete collapse they appear destined for a MAC postseason berth . Such a rec"7>rd is obviously quite impressive, but the feet that only five players remain from the 1981 team makes it totally amazing. Young teams are just not supposed to be this good, but somebody forgot to mention this fact to the team . This turnaround may seem to be magical, but the reasons for it are far fro m it. The basic foundatio n was built upon the recruiting efforts of coaches Nancy Roberts and Gay Meyers. They pinpointed the weaknesses of last season's team and set out to strengthen these areas. All of this hard work has paid off in the form of success and a number-one ranking by the NCAA for Division III schools in the Middle-Atlantic states. Granted, many schools are fortunate enough to have the luxury of a large quantity of players. The Lady Colonels have been blessed with both quantity and quality. The winning formula in both softball and baseball is pitching, hitting, and defense, and the ladies are extremely proficient at all three. The ace of the pitching staff has been freshman Sue Schwartz, the recipient of last week's Athlete of the Week honors . Sue has an 8-1 record which includes her first collegiate no-hitter which came against Mansfield. Fellow freshman Lynn Busch has pitched well in her appearances and has a 2-0 mark. Three returnees and three firstyear players are the top offensive producers. Junior catcher and captain Karen Johnson has been the biggest bat amongst this group of big bats. Through 11 games she has hit at a .516 clip . In addition she has slammed 4 homeruns, 3 triples, and a double, and has driven 16 runs . Sophomore outfielder Karen Bove has a .424 average which includes a triple, 2 doubles, and 12 RBIs. Stacy Keeley, a junior first baseman, is at .406 with a triple, 2 dou bles, and 10 RBIs . Leading the newcomers in average is shortstop Theresa McGraw . She is just below .400 with a .393 average and has 2 :,nmeruns, 3 doubles, and 13 RBIs. 'iuc Schwartz is second at .379 with 2 homers, 3 doubles, and 11 HBis. Cathy Lee, a third baseman, is leading the team in RBIs with 18 and is batting at .350 with one homerun. The defense has been consistent except for the games at Susquehanna, when 18 unearned runs were scored during a double-header. The number which illustrates the skill of the defense is the .157 combined batting average of the opposing teams. The excellence of the pitching staff is also reflected in this number. The infield is anchored by veterans Karen Johnson and Stacy Keeley, the catcher and the first baseman. Each is an outstanding defensive player. Newcomers Renee Dougherty , Theresa McGraw and Cathy Lee at second, short, and third have steadily improved, and the result has been steady infield play. The outfield is freshmen Charlene Hurst and Lisa Gigliello in left and center, and sophomore Karen Bove in right. Both Charlene and Lisa are fleet of foot and excellent defensive players, and they join Karen who is also fast and skilled . One final thing must be mentioned. Good teams have the necessary components of pitching, hitting, and defense . Great teams have all three, plus one more. The difference between being good or being great is a positive attitude about the game, oneself, and one's team . The Lady Colonels have this added dimension, and perhaps it more than anything else has been responsible for their success. Each player is not an individual, but is a member of a team . Softball is acknowledged as an individual sport, for each player's individual skills are on display constantly. It is one-on-_one, the player and the ball.'Despite this fact, the game is still team centered . The idea of "team" is the hard work, dedication, and mutual support which evey player gives of herself. When somebody makes a mistake, there is always someone around to make it not seem as bad. The mistake is learned from and forgotten. Dwelling upon errors leads to more, so such circumvention has to benefit a team. On the other hand, whenever someone d.o'~ something well, fo r exam ple hits' a homerun, there is always present the loud cheering of the team. Being appreciated is a nice feeling and often leads to continued excellent performance. The Lady Colonels have a new look this spring. There are new players, a new batting machine, new sweats, and a new positive attitude. T he changes have already proven fruitful. One can only hope that the team will still be reaping these benefits come 'm. Lady Cdomls' Win Streak EndedAt Seven By Delaware Valley Aggies by Ellen Van Riper Proving that their early season success was no fluke, the Lady Colonels have continued their winning ways . The perfect season came to an end with a 7-2 defeat at the hands of Marywood, but the ladies still own an impressive 9-1-1 overall season record. Before suffering their first (and hopefully last) loss of the season, the Lady Colonels hosted Elizabethtown College for a twinbill at Kirby Park. The game had been rescheduled from an earlier date because of inclement weather. On this particular day, the sun for- , tunately chose to shine brightly long enough for the ladies to beat the B!ue Jays 13-9, but it set a bit too soon and caused the second game to end in an 8-8 tie. In the first game, Sue Schwartz pitched 5 and 1/3 innings to run her season mark to 7-0. Lynn Busch came on with one away in the top of the sixth and pitched 2 and ½ innings to pick up a save. Sue walked 8, struck-out 1, allowed 8 hits, and gave up 4 earned ru ns. Lynn walked 1, yielded 3 hits, and allowed 2 earned runs. Nothing against the pitching, but such stats would usually result in a loss . Luckily, as has been the case for much of the season, the hitters chose to carry their big sticks. Sue Schwartz aided her own cause by going 2 for 4 with a homerun and 3 RBIs. Cathy Lee only had one hit in 4 trips, but still managed to drive in 3. Karen Johnson went 2 for 3 with a triple and an RBI, and Charlene Hurst had one hit and 2 RBIs. The victory was ctucial to the team for a number of reasons. First of all, it raised their season record to 7-0. However, more importantly, it was a win against an MAC Northwest Division opponent. Victory in these division games is imperative, for only the top teams in each division gain a MAC tournament berth. The second game will go on the books as a tie, for there was no decision. Lynn Busch started and 4 and 1/3 innings walking 4, strikingout 1, allowing 4 hits, and yielding 3 earned runs. Sue Schwartz this time played the reliever and pitch~d 2 and 2/2 innings. The top hitter again was Schwartz who went 3 for 4 with a double and 3 RBIs . Cathy Lee had 2 hits in 4 appearances and an RBI. Theresa McGraw had one hit and 2RBis. At this point the string remained unbroken, and the team was flying high with a 7-0-1 record . Unfor- tunately, a powerful blast of turbulence in the form of a two-hitter thrown by the Marywood pitcher forced a temporary landing. Both the team and pitcher Sue Schwartz were tagged with their first loss of the season . Sue pitched the full 7 innings walking . 4, striking-out 2, and yielding 6 earned runs on 8 hits. Lady Luck did not ride with the blue and gold on this particular trip. For the first time all season, the hitters failed to come through. Karen Bove managed one of the two Lady Colonel hits and drove in one of the two runs, and Sue Leach drove in the other. The blemish upon their perfect season may have left the ladies a bit down, but it was only a temporary condition. The following day the team traveled to Susquehanna for a double-header, and the big blue machine started cranking again. All of the frustrations from the previous game were unleashed upon Susquehanna as the ladies from Wilkes rolled 12-10 and 25-13. Believe it or not, the second game went into extra innings! Sue Schwartz must have breathed a sigh of relief when she Continued on page 7 ll e co , d At 7 ..s Colonels Down Albright Twice by Pat Brannon The Wilkes College baseball team continues to mystify and confuse fa ns by throwing out excellent perfo rmances along with those less than outstanding games. The team looked impressive as they swept a doubleheader in Reading against MAC opponent Albright last Thursday. Senior Tony Vlahovic started off the pitching in the first of those games. Bernie Radechi came in during the final innings, to win 8-5. Bob Miller, with a 2-1 record, pitched the second game giving Wilkes their second win of the day 7-5. The big hitters of the day for the Colonels were Scott Pryor with a two run single, Ned Sandercock with a two run single, and Ken Sorick with a two run homer. It seemed as if Wilkes was on a streak. Winning their last three games they met Delaware Valley at Delaware. Jack Delfino gave up the fi rst game to one of last year's tougher teams, by a score of 7-3. But Wilkes came back in the second game with such strong hitters as Ted Ruch and Ned Sandercock with three RBIs a piece. Ted Komorski added two RBIs by the days end, the final score being 12-3. Bernie Radechi took that win fo r Wilkes boosting his overall pitching record to 3-1 fo r the year. Once again the weather held up for Wilkes as it had done for the two previous games as they came up against the Bloomsburg Huskies at Kirby this past Monday. Chris Pape had a good day batting. He was three for fo ur, but the Colonels were forced to bow to the Huskies as they dominated the game smashing in run after run the · final score coming out to be Bloomsburg 13, Wilkes 3. It was junior Bob Miller who came back in the second game to hand the Huskies a 13 to 5 defeat. In the second inning of play the Colonels took the lead scoring seven runs. Dale Englehart had a two-run homer, Ted Komorsky then came up with a three run single. To top the inning off Ken Sorick hammered in a home run . The Colonels held on to the lead for the rest of the game bringing them their seventh win of the season. Their overall record now stands at 7 and 8. Tomorrow the Colonels host Juniata in a twin bill to begin at 1:00 pm. GIVE THAT MAN A HAND . Dale Engel (#3) is greeted by Ken Sorick (#14) and the rest of the Colonels after hitting a two-ru n homer in the third inning of a 13-5 Wilkes victory over Bloomsburg. ... � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Policy for tests and examinations is stated in the 1981-82 Student Handbook as follows : " No maj:>r examination may be given during the last five class days procei,/:ling final examinations without the approval of the derartment chairman and the Dean o Academic Affairs. Routine qui zzes are not prohibited during the final week of classes.'' According to Fellin, on Tuesday, the Academic Standard; Committee decided to amsider the policy null and void for this semes -er. The Committee was faced with two choices , added Fellin: to consider the policy, which had supposecily been voted out two years ago, as valid, or to consider it null and void, a dead-letter policy. The Committee decided upon the latter choice. Said Fellin, ''Why the decision was made, I don't know." At the next faculty meeting the policy will be voted on. Fellin noted that some members of the administration are in favor of keeping the policy in effect for future semesters. Ana Nunez, former SG President, noted that an SG rep should be present at the next faculty meeting to express the students' views on the subjrt. The four-week drop policy also spurred active discussion during the meeting. It was noted that the drop policy was originally intended to increase student-professor communication and raise academic standard; at the College. A few SG reps, however commented that often faculty members adhere too rigicily to the written policy, and discourage discussions with students who wish to drop their courses .

Fred, a senior, and his part- ner won ·the Traditional Debate Employment Hints To .Finding . ' by Andrea Hincken What problem is plaguing our· country? If your answer is unemployment you are correct. About nine million Americans are out of work. The national unemployment rate 8.8 is the highest since World War II. It sounds awful doesn't it? There is some encouragement though from Labor Department experts. In the recent April 18, 1982 issue of Parade Magazine, in the Sunday Independent, the experts said that there are five million to six million unfilled job vacancies and that the prospects should brighten later this year. The best prospects for work are found in a dozen states where the unemployment rate is below six percent. They are: Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, New Hampshire, Colorado, Hawaii, Vermont and Minnesota. Computers, health and engineering dominate the available jo~ m1uicet. Before venturing out to find a job, a labor official warned, "the worst thing you can do is to pick up and move to Oklahoma or Texas without first making sure you have a job. That can be fatal. Even in boom areas, things can change quickly ." Whether you are a semi-skilled employee or a highly qualified technician in a depressed industry, a young person on the lower rungs of the career ladder or someone on the wrong side of 50 fighting age · discrimination - here are some tips the experts offer to anyone in the job hunt: 1. Don't hide the fact that you are unemployed . It's nothing to be ashamed of, and the more people who know you are job-hunting, the more leads you will get. · 2. Forget about your personal label that pegs you as a go~ernment worker, auto mechanic, or whatever. Limiting yourself limits your opportunities. . 3. The essence of a job hunt is a search for information, not only year. Kinney's students set a _.. new college record for victories in one year - winning a total of 109 , trophies since September . No other · team/program in the history of the college has set a record such as this.

IRHC Announces · Positiens Vacant f; by Donna Nitka The 1981-82 school year was a mediocre year for the InterResidence Hall Council. While the first semester was successful, the second was slow. During the first semester, the IRHC-sponsored "Freshman Follies" earned Wilkes the NACURH School of the Month Award for September. This award, coupled with the college's participation in the NACURH Regional Conference, allowed Wilkes to gain some recognition in the NACURH organization. New committees were also formed during the first semester. The Hall President's Council was established to improve relationships between the residence halls and to formalize the governing of the halls. The Vandalism Committee was formed to curb the high, mi-campus vandalism rate. The growth of those committees stalled during the second semester. The Hall Presidents Council began constructing a constitution to outline the guidelines of residence hall government . This document still has not been completed. The Vandalism Committee, which has been planning an anti-vandalism campaign since mid-first semester, has done little more than report the damage caused by vandals . Another problem that plagued IRHC this semester was apathy. One consequence of this apathy is cc ,S ·,'MOS t that a Wilkes delegation will not be attending the NACURH National Conference. This is particularly unfortunate since Wilkes was invited to sponsor a workshop during the conference. Lack of participation in the conference is sure to be a setback to Wilkes since the college was beginning to gain recognition in the organization. Council apathy was also demonstrated in the lack of feedback during open discussions. IRHC's most noteworthy success was its proposal of an alternate plan to the administration - proposed $200 differential fee that was going to be charged to students of the new residence hall. The council should be commended for the way in which it handled the situation. As a result of their planning of options and polling of residence hall students, they were ·able to submit an alternate plan to the Administration. The plan, which calls for money for the new hall to be raised from all dormitory students, was adopted . Next year's Council should support the growth of both the Hall Presidents Council and the Vandalism Committee since these committees will benefit the residence hall students. The council should also work to create a sense of unity and pride among its members and continue to increase its relation- . ships with SG and CC ._ _Sustained Effort'~ Foe uses 0 n Parking Problems SG Fund Atrpr9pri<l(ions. Need Better Management .,' The mapr accomplishment ot Student Government this past semester appears to be the granting of fund requests. It seems that SG members passed the maj>rity of the. requests that were brought before them - even the request of $2000 for a ;.zz concert. This was the largest sum of money requested from SG this year , possibly the most ever requested. Despite repeated warnings from Treasurer Al Wirkman that this request would take a large chunk out of the budget if a significant sum of money • was not taken in from ticket sales , SG passed the fund request. Student Government ended up with a $1500 loss from that concert and Al Wirkman had to freeze funds for several weeks . Considering the fact that the Student Government is supposed to represent the student body, and their needs, SG should have been more discriminant in which requests they decided to pass.

We began explaining simple economics to Joe. "When Reagan came into office, inflation was running at 13 percent annually, now its running at 1 percent a year! That's right, one percent a year. So let's accept the News':Veek figure of a loss of $240. That means 40 million Americans lost a total of $10 billion. But because of a 12 percent increase in purchasing power, this group has gained $24 billion (based on the $200 billion spent by this sector of the population .) If this current trend continues, Joe, low-income people will be in even better shape next year ."

"Perhaps the most serious single threat humanity now faces is the widespread loss of topsoil," Brown, an agricultural specialist, said in the study, which is being published as a book titled "Building A Sustainable Society."

The 'Great Society' didn't help low-income people, it hurt them." We concluded and waited for Joe to ask us about some other 'problem' the Reagan administration has caused. "Well guys, I got to get going," Joe said this and turned to walk away. "Where are you going, Joe?" we asked this expecting his usual "out to save the world" response, but even Joe's actions are not predictable all the time.

His two most recent performances drew sell-out crowds to Michigan Tech U.'s indoor swimming pool. Previous concerts this year were at Dartmouth College and the University of Montreal. The concert begins with dolphin sounds and musical accompaniment then progresses into longer electronic passages. Those watching the concert are told to keep part of their heads under water, to allow the waves of sound to enter through all of the body and be transmitted to the inner ear. "The music is waves of sound .. . peaceful waves of sound, flowing into your body," Redolfi says.

Joe snickered and stared at us for a response. "Last month, Joe, they held elections in El Salvador. The people of El Salvador flocked to the polls in large numbers, despite the rebels efforts to stop them from voting. Through the gunfire, the people elected their new government. Why are the rebels fighting? Surely not for democracy or free elections, because they tried to disrupt them with violence. Maybe · they want a new government, like the one that was set up in Nicaragua after the revolution. Incidently, Nicaragua doesn't have elections." Joe gave us a shocked look as we told him this. Joe was more restless now than before. He said, "Well Reee-gan won't help poverty stricken people like Lyndon Johnson did. Johnson had the 'Great Society'. They should call Reee-gan's program the 'Rich Only Society'. " "Well, Joe, we hope Reagan To those people I µst met this year , I only wish we had met sooner. You are truly terrific and caring!

Held to "celebrate" the anniversary of King's birthday, the party attracted students dressed as pimps, in · blackface,carrying large portable radios, and even in Ku Klux Klan hoods. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has been suspended indefinitely, and could face revoka- tion of its charter, a move urged by NAACP. The Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Auburn University is under fire for another kind of insensitivity, after it turned a vacation theme social with a campus sorority into an "Air Florida 90" party, patterned after the recent crash in Washington, D.C. which killed 68 people. That fraternity will also be reviewed by campus authorities, especially since it was already on disciplinary probation fo r acts of mayhem during the annual Wreck Tech parade last fall .

Once again, the Wilkes' actors proved their talent can surmount any obstacle. The humor of the play hard to appreciate when one is reading - was brought to life on stage through the talent of Wilkes' own actors. Russell Curtis and Gene Wachowski, playing the parts of Guildenstern and Rosencrantz respectively, were on stage every moment of . the performance. There is not a single Sl.!ene in which these characters are not present, for this play is the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet through the eyes of these charact; rs . Being on stage and involved in every action is not an easy assignment. Both Curtis and Wachowski should be commended for never loosing the energy they put into their performance throughout the long play. Along with the assignment to be on stage every moment, the actors had an even tougher assignment: bring out the humor of the play. This play, w ith only two characters involved in dialogue through much of the play, can be boring. Also, the subtle humor can be -lost in a poor performance. Bot'p . Curtis and Wachowski brought forth the humor with their voices and facial expressions. They were convincing - convincing enough for their characters to be laughed at. Steve DiRocco delivered an ex- cellent performance as the Player. His hand actions, facial expressions and body movement were perfect for his character. He commanded a presence on the stage every minute he was there. Even his costume added to the general aura of humor which seemed to surround him. His band of followers also portrayed their characters in a convincing way. Ray Reese deserves an ovation for all that he put up with in his portt ayal of Alfred . Attention must also be given to Bill Mondlak for his bursting appearance on stage which brought out a new side of Hamlet's Polonius. Mondlak's movements and facial expressions created moments of humor and spells of laughter as he raced around after · the Royal Court. The background of this play was, of course, Shakespeare's Hamlet. Mixed throughout the play are moments when this background comes through. Again, this is the world of Hamlet as seen through the eyes of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. These background characters, speaking in the manner of a Shakespearean plan . and using lines directly out of the original play, are more serious characters. The actors delivered fine perfor~ mances. Frank R. Kren, Jr., as Hamlet, M. Christophere Golanoski as Claudius, Jaqueline Best Brocca as Ophelia, and Marete . Wester as Gertrude all created that aura of the Shakespearean world necessary to the play. The play ends with the quiet voice of Steve Badman delivering the speech given by his character, Horatio, at the end of Hamlet. Badman's voice carries the sadness appropriate for the ending of both plays in which the heroes die. The successful performance of this play can be attributed only to the talent of the actors involved. A weak actor in any one of the key roles would have destroyed the play. Because it is a tough play to concentrate on for three hours, the actors have to be more than good . The Wilkes' actors proved that they had the talent to handle such a difficult play. They deserve still another round of applause. N p s 0 C 0 A I T y R 0 L A E A p A p T M E F R G H M E A T .

BE IN THE FOREFRONT OF TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY ASAN AIR FORCE ENGINEER Early Man's Development Explored In Quest For Fire For years motion pictures like "Star Wars," "Star Trek" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" have excited our imagination by taking us far into the distant future. Now 20th Century-Fox presents a motion picture which takes us to a time that is just as unknown and mysterious ... the distant past. "Quest For Fire" is a spectacular science-fantasy adventure set 80,000 years ago, a period when men lived as members of fiercely loyal tribes, scattered throughout a vast, unexplored world. These tribes - some of them savage, others peaceful - battled each other and their environment for survival. The key to their survival was fire - to warm their campsites and drive off attacking tribes and predatory animals . "Quest For Fire" is the extraordinary adventure of three courageous warriors who venture beyond the safety of their tribal campsite when their fire is destroyed during a battle with a rival tribe. Although these warriors possessed fire, they did not yet know how to create it . In the course of their perilous journey to find another source of the sacred, life-giving flame, they encounter vicious beasts, cannibals who nearly take them captive and - most important of all - they discover .the secret of how to make fire anew. In its initial engagements in New York and Los Angeles, "Quest For Fire" broke attendance records previously held by "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." The visual beauty and exictement of this magical re-creation of an alien, primitive world stunned audiences and impressed critics, who called it "the next 'Star Wars' " and "the movie adventure of a lifetime. " "Quest For Fire" continues to cre11ee excitement as it opens at theatres across the country. ~ity ·Beverage Company 704 S.

The film, Quest For Fire, will be coming soon to the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre. Although it is rated R, the film has been applauded by educators as a unique and important production, teaching us about our ancestors and the beginnings of our civilization while entertaining us with its spectacle. In France, where "Quest For Fire" had its world premiere, the book upon which the film was based is required reading in the publi~ schools, and the film itself was e,, dorsed by numerous scholars as an event which all students should have the opportunity to experience. The French Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences voted "Quest For Fire" the Best Picture of the Year Award (the equivalent of our Oscar), and in this country the film was voted a special Best Picture prize by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

Fox brought a vast background of experience to the ROTC program. The major entered the Air Force through the ROTC program at Michigan State and has been in the Air Force for 16 years. After finishing navigator school, Fox flew Cl30's for a year in Viet Nam. Fox was then stationed in Japan , He left the Air Force for three years . As a civilian, Fox worked as a commercial navigator and then by Stephen Thomas Last Saturday, the Luzerne County Council of Teachers of Mathematics with the cooperation of the Wilkes College Mathematics Department sponsored the ThirtyFourth Annual Luzerne County High School Mathematics Contest ln Stark Learning Center. Approximately 120 juniors and seniors from every high school in the county attended the contest and competed for prizes ranging from books and pocket calculators to a full scholarship to Wilkes College. The contestants were nominated have ." The main reason for this is the economic cuts in the government. Fox also stated, "pilots' and navigators' assignments might include a lot of traveling, but not as much as in war. People in non- flying jobs will probably stay were they are stationed." Because of his experience, the addition of Fox will give students a chance to receive direct and firsthand information about the navigation field and engineering. Fox said that Wilkes is "a nice little college. It's a lot more personal than Michigan State was ." by their own mathematics teachers to attend the contest, and there was a limit of the number of nominees from each school depending on the number of students in each class. A two-part exam was given to the seniors and a similar two-part exam was given to the juniors. The tests were written by Professor Earl and Dr. Berard of the Mathematics Department. These tests covered algebra, geometry and trigonometry. The score on the test was the basis on which the prizes were awarded . This year 's winners were Agesino Primatic, a junior from Meyers High School, and Jay Rubino, a senior from Wyoming Area. Both students will be offered scholarships to Wilkes . According to Dr. Wong, Chairman of the Mathematics and Com puter Science Department, many students have taken advantage of these scholarships. "Some of Wilkes' best students have been winners of the contest," he said . The scholarship is not limited to the mathematics department. It can be used in any department, according to Dr. Wong, AIME To-Hold 2nd Seminar The Anthracite Section of the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME) will meet for the second consecutive year at Wilkes College, on Thursday, May 20, in Schaeffer Lecture Lounge, Stark Learning Center.

Rick Schaffer took the loss in the first game. Catcher Ken Sorick was one of the Colonel's few hitters of the day turning in a homer, a triple and a single with two RBIs. Dale Englehart also came up with a triple and two RBIs in the opener. In a seemingly unbelievable play, the centerfielder for the Royals caught a fly ball among a group of trees deep in the ball park and brought the only Wilkes rally to an end. ""' It was Freshman Jack Delfino from Carbondale in his 4th start of the season pitching for Wilkes in the second round of action. Wilkes scored most of their runs in the second game thanks to grand slams by both Joe Geffert and Rich Everett. Ted Ruch added a two run homer. Unfortunately for Wilkes it just wasn't enough to overcome Scranton as they took the night-cap 19-11 . After nine innings of play on Thursday against the Junior Varsity of Penn State at Dunmore, the game ended in darkness with the score tied at 14 apiece. This game gave some of the Colonels younger players a chance to show their talents. Freshman pitcher Lou CorreHe started the game for Wilkes and hammered in a homerun in the fourth to add to his good · day on the the mound. Gene Nosovitch, a sophomore, slammed in a homer in the 7th bringing his batting for the day to 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs. Mark Csensi had a good day both in the field and at bat coming up with 3 RBIs. The Colonels split in a doubleheader against Juniata on Saturday. In the MAC match-up. the Colonels lost the opener 8 to 5 in extra innings as Juniata turned in three runs in the top of the eighth. Wilkes took a 3-2 lead with Scott Pryor blasting a three run homer in the second inning of play. Ned Sandercock hit his homer in the third and Senior Chris DaRe added another homer in the fourth , bringing the two teams even at five and sending them into extra innings. Senior pitcher Tony Vlahovic did a fine job on the mound in the night-cap with Juniata.

The WCLH cagers were originally scheduled to play Rock 107, WEZX of Scranton, but 107 could not play due to illnesses. Bedford gratefully filled in . The stands were not filled for the game, but the few people on hand were tr~ated to a good time. The WCLH team held the Bedford Cagers scoreless for the first three minutes of the game while amassing a 6-0 lead . Outstanding rebounding by Tom McGuire, Dave Gayeski, and Andy Mehalshick powered the WCLH defense. Fine shooting by Mehalshick, McGuire, and Dom Augustine gave WCLH a 18-10 first-quarter lead . The Bedford squad managed to draw wtihin 3 points late in the first half. That was as close as they came for the rest of the game as Gayeski canned several shots from downtown to give WCLH a 5 point halftime advantage . The second half was similar to the first as the WCLH team pulled away from Bedford, leading by as much as 22. Chris Sailus and Joe Memorian led the defense. Jim Mandes put on a show of dribbling and fancy footwork . Ray Alunni, Gary Stack, and Tom Fleig all aided the WCLH win .

Virtually all of the programs at Wilkes have been upgraded and improved, and thus, there are increasing numbers of quality athletes competing for the blue and gold. 1982 has produced a host of men and women who are deserving of such an honor. It is a shame that only two can receive the reward. Ideally I would like to present an award to each and every athlete at Wilkes, for during the year they have all given a ll0 1.° effort for their respective teams. It is because . of all of their perseverance and dedication that 1982 has been a successful one for the Colonels. Still, only one woman and one man can be chosen, so whom to• choose? After much careful and painstaking comparison and thought, the Beacon staff is proud and honored to announce thaf sophomore Kim Smith of the Lady Colonel basketball team and junior Mark Popple of the Colonel wrestling squad have been selected as the 1982 Female and Male Athletes of the Year. There are comparisons which can be drawn between Kim and Mark which are striking. Both are area residents; Kim is a graduate of Wyoming Valley West and Mark is a graduate of Coughlin. Each established school records during 1982, and naturally both were keys to the success of their respective teams. The selection as Female Athlete of the Year was quite a surprise to Kim , for she thought that someone else would be chosen. She is a modest person who grows uncomfortable when asked to comment upon her athletic success. Kim said that there were a lot of great women athletes at Wilkes, so she felt it a bit unfair that only one could be chosen. Kim attributes a great deal of her success to her father and her close friends, for they all encourage her and push her when she needs it most. These people are both her greatest admirers and her most scrutinizing critics. She, h0wever . also realizes that she l, ..;rself is an important reason for her success. The keys Kim believes have been her maturity and seriousness. Both qualities are important to the development of individual talent ; and the adaptation of this talent into a team concept. It takes a big person to do this, especially one who is as talented as Kim. However, these qualities apply equally well to life in general. Kim realizes that she will not be playing basketball forever, so even though she loves the game, she places it second to her education on her list of priorities. Communications is her major, and Kim's career goal is to be a news program anchorwoman , Right now Kim Smith has little trouble communicating on the basketball court. In only her second season, Kim has become one of the dominant forces in the MAC. 1982 saw her lead the Lady Colonels in rebounding with a 15.8 average and in blocked shots with 35 for the season. In addition, she finished second behind Charlene Hurst in scoring with 17 per contest. Kim's rebounding average was good for second in the nation for Division UI schools. The figures were quite phenomenal. During the 1982 season Kim broke the team record for rebounds in a game with 21 against Lycoming, and her season's total of 285 was good enough for the establishment of a second standard. . Statistically, she was an asset to the Lady Colonels, but 'Kim also contributed the intangibles or the things which do not show up in the boxscore. Defensively, she has improved ·100 % since her freshman year. During her second year, opposing players discovered Kim to be a formidable defensive force. According to Coach Roberts, Kim is a well-liked member of the team, and her easy going manner helps to keep the team loose. It takes a lot to get her down on herself or the team, so she is a source of constant encouragement. She sets an example for the rest of the team because she works hard and accepts constructive criticism graciously. To sum up, Kim is a pleasure to coach, according to Roberts, and a player who has potential yet to be fulfilled. It all sounds so perfect and rosy, and in fact it is too good to be true. Underlying it all are the thorns of bitterness. Athletic excellence is usually rewarded with post-season awards, (i.e ALL-MAC selection), but Kim was mysteriously left off of this honor roll. A poor team record of 6-12 left Kim with no chance for recognition for the team, but she felt that she had earned individual honors. Kim is a modest person, but she is also proud of her athletic ability, so such a lack of recognition was a bitter disappointment. All of the hard work seemed wasted. Coach Roberts was also disappointed, and she felt that Kim had been "ripped-off" by the selection committee. In her estimation Kim was a better player than some of the others chosen, (i.e. Michelle Kravitsky of King's). According to Roberts, there was league politics behind the decision , and it is a shame that such activities would interfere with a decision which should be based upon individual achievement. Coupled with the disappointing team record, this snub has left Kim bitter and frustrated. The hurt is a deep one and is evident in her opinion of the so-called "selection process." Ironically, she believes ~hat her all-around style of play might have been responsible fo r her ommission. In Kim's eyes, scoring was the only criterion considered by the selected committee. People whn score belong on all-star teams, but so do the people ,w~p , dq " everything else. Kim is a complete player, and her specialty is rebounding. Kim views women's basketball as "mainly a guard's game," and she believes that she could be a high scorer if she set her mind to it. However, she will not, for she prides herself on being a multifaceted player. Sacrificing her scoring average for defense and rebounding is an old habit which she learned back at Valley West, and it is her role for the Lady Colonels. . Kim would rather just forget · ~ the past season, ·- but she cannot. So much was expected -0f the· team, and yet, so little was achiev~ed. Improving the team is utnios! in her mind. She pinpoints· the main problems as a lack of unity and a lack of leadership. The team was talented, but the players could not play together. Each player should have had a role to fill . The lack of leadership was a direct result of the absence of an official captain. When a leader was needed, there was no one who could step forward . If the players can develop a team concept, Kim sees no reason why success cannot be had next season. The year of experience will also be a big help. A successful season for the Lady Colonels and selection to All-MAC will provide Kim with strong motivation for self-improvement. Coach Roberts will be looking for more aggressive and consistent play from Kim, and she feels that if Kim can do this, she could possibly even make All-American. Mark Popple was equally as surprised when he was informed of his selection as the Male Athlete of the Year. As a matter of fact, he was unaware that the Beacon presented such an annual award. One thing for sure , he is now. Modesty is also a quality which earmarks Mark's personality. He immediately gave much of the credit for his success to Coach Reese and his teammates. Of Reese, Mark said that "he is the best coach in the country, and even though his drilling methods may not be well-liked, they are effective." Despite this humble ' outlook, much of the credit should also be extended to Mark himself. Mark is an example of what is called a "late-bloomer," for he did not reach his athletic peak until college. Although he did have a successful career at Coughlin, Mark never made it to the Pennsylvania state finals. Most top Division I wrestlers usually have a state crown to their credit. One year Mark sat helplessly . in the stands and watched a wrestler whom he had beaten during the regular season in a dual meet win the weight cla~ state championship. Without a state crown to his credit, Mark entered Wilkes as somewhat of an unknown commodity. No one was sure how he would do . Mark chose Wilkes because of its proximity to his , bvme, . and . because of its fide KIM SMITH The 1982 Beacon .Female Athlete of the Year KEEFERS ARMY & NAVY-· Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the.

Once here, Mark chose to major in business and to pursue his love, wrestling. The sport is very important to Mark, and he calls it his first love and a hobby. He finds wrestling much to his liking, for it is disciplined and highly competitive. One-on-one confrontations are a means by which to build-up confidence, and of course winning is very satisfying. He realizes that he cannot win all of the time, and he sees losing as a part of the challenge and a motivation for improvement in order to succeed. Mark also loves wrestling because "it is a sport where individuals can excell even if tl1e team loses," Well. in 1982 both the Colonels of John Reese and Mark Popple were successful. The team compiled a 19-4 season record, a mark which tied a school wrestling record for most wins in a season. Mark was, according to Coach Reese, his "most consistent wrestler." Individually, the season which Mark enjoyed in 1982 was the kind of story of which legends are made. Nobody could have written a better script. The only change possible would be to make Mark earn All-American honors, but the fact that he missed it by a single point lends the story to the creation of a sequel in which he actually does make it. Readers are already eagerly anticipating the drama which will unfold in Mark's final season at Wilkes.

The Colonels open the season against Lehigh, Oregon State, and Navy, three of the top teams in the country. Mark comes up empty in all three, and admittedly his confidence is a bit shaken. Coach Reese had expected Mark to do well, but he was unsure what effect the moving up of two weight classes would. have on the quality of Mark's wrestling. Moving up from 134 to 150 was extremely unusual, and it would take time to adjust to the bigger opponents. At the close of Act I, it appears as if Reese's doubts were well-founded. The first scene of Act II is set in the Wilkes Gym on December 9. The Colonels completely dominate East Stroudsburg 40-2. The victory is the 300th of Coach Reese's .career, and Mark Popple also wins his first of the season. Looking back, Mark considers this initial victory to be the turning point of his season. He knew that things could not get any worse, so the only way to go was up. This initial victory also helped to solidify his shaken confidence. The rest of the action in Act II is fast paced as Mark defeats 25 opponents in a row . One of the highlights is a victory in the annual Wilkes Open in which he won the 153 title. The other highlight occurs on · February 13. Mark wins his 19th in a row with a 7-0 decision against his Lycoming opponent. The victory breaks the school record for consecutive dual meet victories which was held jointly by Bryan Billig and Mark Densberger. Oddly enough the record was set on the same day that Coach Reese was honored by the College for his 300th victory. The win streak carries over into the third act as Mark continues to send his opponents down to defeat. The second scene is set at the EIWA tournament at Lehigh, and Mark is facing Gary Siegel of Syracuse in the quarterfinals. Siegel and Popple had wrestled each other in high school, and Siegel used his knowledge of Popple's moves to win the bout and end the streak. However, Mark came back in the consolation bouts to capture third place and a trip to the nationals. Siegel only managed a fifth place finish. Going into the nationals, Mark has an impressive 27-4 overall record . The fourth and final act opens at Iowa State, the site of the NCAA tournament.

The ex- by Ellen Van Riper This week, due to the MAC Championship won by the Lady Colonel softball team, it seemed inevitable that one of the ladies would be chosen as the Athlete of the Week. This assumption is par-tially accurate. The title marked a first in Wilkes College athletic history, for it is the first ever won by a women ' s team. We at the BeaconSports Department pride ourselves on our ability to keep pace with the sports of the time, so we have decided to set a precedent of our own. For their magnificent display of athletic ,excellence, the entire Lady Colonel team has been selected as the Athlete of the Week. Coach Nancy Roberts called the MAC title the result of a ''total and consistent team effort,' ' so based upon this assessment it would be unfair to name only a single player. Of course there were players who tur· . ned in a tremencbus performance, but in the long run it was the com· bined efforts of all of the players which won the title. One player <hes not a championship team make. It is alwavs an unexpected · but pleasant surprise whenever a true team of talented in<ividual players comes along.

The Lady Colonels turned a seemingly rebuilding year into a championship year. They also began the season with a seven -game winning streak, and with only a few mipor interruptions brt'ezed to a 15-3-1 overall record. Finally, they won tht' title in an unusual but - impressive fashion . The team had to win a mini-playofi against Juniata in order to qualify for the tournament.

Sunday Independent ~ �Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA Page 12 The Beacon Vol.XXXIV April 30, 1982 No. 25 April 30, 1982 Lady Colonels Crown.e d MAC Champs by Ellen Van Riper Coach Roberts calls her team's MAC title the ''most special thin~ that has ever happened to me.' The achievement undoubteclly has the same sort of indescribable significance for all of the people associated with the team. It truly is a feel ing which is not easily put into words. Right now the Lady Colonels are 15-3-1 and are eagFrly awaiting an invitation to the region als. No matter how they.do from here on, 1982 shall always be remembered as "That Championship Season.'' The MAC tournament was held last Saturday at Kirby Park, and over 200 people came out ot enpy both the sunshine and the softball action. Little did they know that they would be witnessing the making of history. These people will always be able to claim that they witnessed Wilkes College athletic history. 1n a thrilling final game, the Lady Colonels edged Muhlenburg 12-11 to record the first ever MAC championship title ever won by a women's team at Wilkes. Roberts µst could not say enough about the performance of her team. She started by calling them "amaz. ing," and then she said that they "gave everything they had and more," She next said that ''everything that the team has sacrificed has finally been worth it." Even this was not enough, so she gave up and said that there was simply ''no way in words to rxpiain what had happened in the last three da " The road to a championship is never an easy one to travel, but the Lady Colonels made it an even harder one by taking the longest and the toughest route. Back on April 21 the team met Juniata at Kirby Park for a doubleheader. The first game was very important, for if the Lady Colonels won, they would win their division and an automatic .tournament berth. If they lost, there would be a three-way tie for first place between Wilkes, Juniata, and Susquehanna, and a miniplayoff would be necessary to deter- ~- mine the winner of the division and the recipient of the MAC berth . To make matters tougher for themselves, the ladies lost the game 7-5. A combination of pressure and nerves resulted in 6 defensive errors which enabled Juniata to score 4 un earned runs. Sue Schwartz was the losing pitcher. She was not her usual sharp self, for she walked 9 and only struck out a pair. The big hitter was Karen Johnson who went 2 for 3 including a homerun and 2 rbi's. 1n the second game, the Lady Colonels vented their frustration and won decisively 13-.2. Sue Schwartz again was the starter, and she was back in top form blanking the Indians for 4 innings to record the win. Lynn Busch came in on relief for the final 3 innings and allowed the only two Juniata runs. Coincidentally, in this second game , the ladies played error less ball. The offense was again led by Karen Johnson who went 1 for 4 with 4 rbi 's. Sue Schwartz, Cathy Lee, Sue Leach, and Karen Bove all accounted for 2 rbi's apiece. The mini-playoff which was forced by the loss to Juniata was played on April 23 at Lewis burg, a site considered to be neutral for all the teams. The Lady Colonels were the lucky ones of the draw, for they got the bye. At 1 p.m . Juniata would face Susquehanna with · the winner taking on Wilkes at 3 p.m. As fate would have it, Juniata won the first round. However, in the final they faced a different Lady Colonel team than the one they had previously defeated. This time the Lady Colonels were ready and had revenge in mind. Sue Schwartz was the starting pitcher and walked 3, struck out 2, and allowed only 1 hit and l earned run enroute to a 3-1 Wilkes victory . This time the team came through in the clutch . Karen Bove, Karen Johnson , and Theresa McGraw all had · an rbi apiece. Bove went 1 for 3 with a homerun and Johnson went l for 3 with a triple. In addition, Cathy Lee had a perfect day at the plate going 3 for 3. SAFE AT THE PLATE.

Back row left to,right: Coach Gay Meyers, Diane Hall, Cathy' Lee, Lynn Busch, Stacy .Keeley, Theresa McGraw, Marian Karmataviez, Coach Nancy Roberts, .Debbie Kramer, Karen Bove, Karen Johnson, and Lisa Gigliello. Now it was official. The Lady Colonels had won their division and with it a ticket to the MAC tournament. Looking back, they may have done it the hard way, but perhaps the extra pressure situation was a beneficial preparation for the tournament. The experience of playing in a "must win" game must have proved invaluable to the entire team, especially the first year players. Proof of this are the results of the tournament. Both games were pressure filled and close, but yet, the Lady Colonels remained cool and poised as if they had been there before. At 9 : 30 Saturday morning, the ladies faced Delaware Valley in the semi-finals . Back on April 19 they had been defeated by the Aggies 9-8, so the game took an additional dimension; revenge. In that contest, Sue Schwartz had been the pitcher and Cathy Lee and Theresa McGraw had been the offensive leaders. Lee went 2 for 4 with a double and ' 2 rbi's, and McGraw went 1 for 3 with a double and also 2 rbi's. Sue Schwartz was the starting pitcher, ahd she began her revenge by putting her team on the scoreboard in the top of the first with a two-run homerun . The game remained scoreless in the top of the sixth when Karen Johnson drove in a third Lady Colonel run with a si ngle. The three-run lead which ~as held by Wilkes did not last long. In the bottom of the sixth Delaware Valley scored 3 run s to tie it up and send the game into extra innings. The tie continued until the top of the ninth when Karen Johnson scored what would prove to be the winning run on a single by Karen a double and an rbi, Carol Hagen _ Bove . .

But the rules of journalism scowl at me from afar, and refuse to be ignored: I must grab your attention by its eyeballs and weave tempting little phrases on this paper so that you will yearn to read more, will anxiously await my next teasing little word. I sit at my desk, pen gripped firmly in my hand, sweat beads beginning to form on my forehead -tiny little witnesses attesting to my terror. My mind has gone out to lunch. Beginnings really stink. I could begin by saying, "Hi! My name is Amy Elias , and I'm editor-in-chief of The Beacon, and I want to ~rab your eyeballs for a moment.' But that wouldn't intrigue you. You'd probably just become scared and then run away. I could start off with the old background-to-make-you -feel-likewe' re-friends ploy: "Hi!

I'm obviously getting nowhere here. My point is this: beginnings are tough for everybody . Another fall semester is starting at Wilkes, and you,like everyone else on campus, soon will be facing my dilema. As you enter the sacrosanct yet much-written-on halls of Wilkes, I'm sure you 're feeling as .all of us did when we first came here . You probably don ' t know where to begin. Of course, wheQ the semester starts, you (like everyone else) will be deluged with 'insidious homework assignments , prodigiox oookstore bills, and the innumerable intellectual irritations that are part of '' higher education." This is a beginning you can't escape, because it sort of creeps up on you and then hits you from behind. bne moment you're shivering in anticipation of college, and the next moment you' re shuddering with the realization about college. But cheer up. There will be many extra-curricular activi ties available to you, and I urge you to seek them out, to investigate BACKI W them, to boldly go where no man has gone before (oops, wrong schtick). Investigate everything, and choose an activity that will help make your "beginning" a fine one. int: The BPacon is one .such activitv : The Beacon is the Wilkes College newspaper. and it is written, compiled,layed out, and distributed by Wilkes students. The eleven members of our editorial staff are competent, interesting men and women who have different academic interests, but who have a common interest in writing. We are very proud of our staff (two are on the wagon now, one must report to the clinic only on weekends, and one has recently completed a paper dealing with ''the problems posed by freewheeling nude dogs in centralized urban regions"). These editors supervise a staff of reporters for each of their respective departments in addition to writing articles and organizing the paper. We have a lot of fun together, and at the same time we learn valuable communications and journalistic skills (Ha. Doesn't show, does it?). H e want you . (I'll bet that scared you.) We have evil, deep dark motives for publishing this special Beacon issue. We want to lure you away from all those other activities on campus (gasp) and we want to trai you to write effectively (oh no) and show you how you can have confidence in interviews (stop, stop) and show you how a newspaper is put together (pant, pant) and teach you how to prepare copy, work office machinery, do heacilines, learn copy-editin~, (AGGHHHHHH! !!) .. .

Andrea Hincken, Asst. News/ Feature Editor Greetings new students, and wel come to Wilkes College! My name is Andrea Hincken, and I am a senior communications major from Forty Fort, Pa . My position on The Beacon is assistant news/ feature editor. My responsibilities for The Beacon are dual; the position demands that stories be written for both news and features. Covering these two aspects of life at Wilkes College makes my position on The Beacon especially interesting, because the writing assignments are varied in depth- and research . Feature stories usually require book or reference research, whereas straight news stories demand interviews with faculty and students , and so the writing entailed is diversified. While straight news coverage involves writing the most important facts in a story first, and then moving down in succession to the least important facts, features may take a more colorful approach or add a personal approach to a story.

I wou ld also li ke to in cl ude in th e section a variety of short features that take a h umoro us or uniqu e look at the differen t aspec ts of eve ryday life. So you see , the feature section covers a wide variety of subjects. And speaking of variety , did you know that a feature story can be written a bit differently than a news story? Feature stories are often written in a ''lighter'' tone than news stories . This often gives the writer a bit more creative freedom . A ll this makes for articles that are easier and more enjoyable to read . Now that you know what feature is. let me explain our meeting times . O ur weekly staff meetings are held on Fridays at 3 p.m . in The Beacon office; the office is located on the second floor of Parrish Hall. All staff members must attend these meetings. During these meetings we critique the current issue of The Beacon (point out both its good and bad points), discuss the content of future issues, and we distribute assignments. Generally, reporters have one week to complete an article. Stories assigned to a reporter during one weekly meeting are due at the next meeting. Our first meeting will he held on September 3. For those of you who thrive on challenges, let me introduce our Wednesdav afternoon layout sc·~ sions. D~ring this time, we "set up" The Beacon by placing the art · ides. pictures, etc. on their respect · ive pages in a way that will he most appealing to the rea~er. The war we lav out the page 1s the way 1t 1s printed. (The challenge is in get· ting everything to "fit") . Yet. despite all the obstacles lavout pre sents. we alwavs manage to get to the printer's on· time! . This undoubtedlv sounds like a great deal of work: Actually. it's about an equal mixture of work and fun . So don't jump to the conclus ion that we spend all off our t ime discussing "business." W e don 't. Like other organizations on cam pus, Beacon people know how to get the maximum amount of fun out of their work . I'll bet that vou didn't know that th ere are " rewards" for a ll the effort that goes in to bei ng a Beacon repo rter. First and foremost is the opportunity fo r advancement. The experience you ga in as a reporter is invaluable should you decide to apply for an editorial position . Being a Beacon reporter gives you the opportunity to become acquainted with many interesting people. This can be especially important to students, like yourselves, who are en tering an entirely new stage of life: college. There is also a great deal of pride and satisfaction that at-companies a reporter's job. This is especially evident when you see your work in print, preceded by vour bv -line. , By ·now you should be asking yourself.'' How do I become a reporter?" All you have to do is contact any Beacon staff member or, better yet, just come to one of our Friday meetings. No previous writing experience is necessary! The Beacon staff will train anvone who is interested in becoming a reporter. All you need is the will ingness to learn . So. if. you're inquisitive. adventuresome. fun -loving individual . why don't you try something new? Become a Beacon feature reporter' See vou September 3.

For ex ample, killing your roommate cir fully paying your tuition bill in cash would he considered news (note : if anyone is planning on doing either of these things, please call me first and give me time to get to you with our photographer). Since we do not usually get too many homicides at Wilkes , The Beacon generally covers student organization meetings , campus eve nt s and activities, exciting or inventive things students are doing , and any new developments in school policies o r departments . Perhaps, if there are an y budding W oodwards and / or Bernsteins out th ere (hint : thi s m ea ns you 11), Th e Beacon cou ld do some in vest igative repo rt ing this year.

You know. in the past I've heard the student body at Wilkes rip this ne,;,,·spaper apart with alarming ferocitv. The only way The Beacon can improve is through the involvement of more students.

This year I am the sole sports editor, and I am anxiously awaiting the excitement and the challenges to come. In addition to my academ ic and journalistic activities, I am also an athlete, specifically a volleyb_all player . In the past I have also been a meinl,-r of thr women 's haskethall and softball teams. Franklv, I love ,pun , and I ieci that my personal athletic experience provides me a beneficial perspective · for my writ ing. I can relate to other athletes because I am one of them , but yet I can also be c)etathed and objective. I believe that this positively affects my articles for The Beacon. Finally, I approach both sports journalism and athletics with total dedication . Unfortunately, every rose bush has its thorns. This duality of writer/athlete poses a few sticky problems. There are three especially sharp and annoying thorns. The first is an inherent conflict of interests between Ellen the athlete and Ellen the editor. Ellen the athlete on occasion deserves publicity, but Ellen the editor cannot give her any. I cannot, as they say, blow my own horn . Secondly, there is the matter of objectivity concerning the volleyball team . It would be easy to only write favorable articles. H owever , I have become able to remain objectively detached , even though this is often painful. Lastly , since I am a woman athlete , it would also be easy for me to become biased towards the woman's teams. I conscious! y try to give all athletes , both men and women, equal press and objectivity in order to avoid this difficulty. All of these problems, for the most part, fortunately can be alleviated by the presence of other sports reporters.

Ralston said carpeting 1s used for appearances and to create a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. . Also, Ralston said that, according to the Business Office, the college spent more than S 1800 during the last two years to replace_the large cushions on the lobby furmture. The College administration recognizes that the new enforcement will further restrict the locations now available to students for having a snack or smoke while relaxing between classes. However, both deans said that there are proper and adequate alternatives for this. Smoking is permitted in the tiled foyer -entrance and the rules do not apply to the various clubrooms throughout the building. Dean Hoover pointed out that food . and beverages are now permitted on the second floor of the student center, and he commented that the Cavern seems to be underutilized and could probably absorb many of the students who regularly gather in the Lounge. He also said that commuter students can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Dining Ha II. Student reaction to ~he College's effort has been favorable. At the semester's first SG meeting two weeks ago, most members agreed that the situation in the lobby needed attention. Some members recommended that SG representatives patrol the area during the day in order to deal directly (and politely) with infractions. . This approach would reflect Dean Ralston's view that "the only way this problem will be corrected is if students themselves do it." Ralston said the behavior of students in the lounge reflects a deeper societal issue which he terms '-'social competence of students.'' "We are the most affluent society in the world ,,, he explai11ed, "and students rej~t social responsibility)~ The rejection of ·social responsibility by students was most acute during the 1960s, Ralston said, and was a conscious and deliberate action. But he said he sees this rejection today as a spontaneous action caused by an attitude that is ingrained in most students. This attitude does not reflect well on the College or society, he said, and concluded, "we ought to be growing and maturing culturally.'' Sullivan Hall suffered heavy smoke and water damage in a fire · that destroyed its first floor lounge and sent two people to the hospital in the early morning hours of August 29 . Accordi ng to Paul Adams, director of housing, the fire began in the T.V. lounge ''a little before 1 a.m . that Sunday morning." The Wilkes-Barre Area Fire Company was able to contain the fire within the lounge and extinguished it in apporoximately 45 minutes. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Wilkes-Barre fire marshall. Twenty women were in the dorm at the time of the fire . Most escaped quickly , but several women had to be rescued by firefighters . Karen Ander son, sophomore, slept through the alarms and commotion and had to be awakened and helped out by firemen. Jackie Bistoff was trapped in her room by heavy smoke and had to be removed through her third floor window by firemen using a cherrypicker. . Two students, Elly Loring, a freshman , and Robert Bruggeworth, R.A . for Denison Hall, were treated for smoke inhalation at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. , The room above the lounge and Sullivan Hall after fire the Ont'. directly across from it suffered water damage while. the rest of the dorm sustained damage from smoke. Housing Director Adams estimates that it will take approximately one month to repair the building. The women from Sullivan Hall have been placed in the empty rooms in other women's dorms. The majority have been absorbed by Miner Hall while others are being housed in Delaware and Chesapeake Halls. ., Due to this fire and the two which occured last year in Slocum Hall, Housing is stressing the importance of fire consciousness and keeping dorm fire doors closed. Many students prop open fire doors for their convenience and forget to close them again. "This is the most serious fire · we've experienced; we're lucky no one was killed," said Adams.

Not only must he retain his full load of courses, but he -is ·now in charge of c'..!partmental funds, student jobs, and education of the public. One of his biggest responsibilities involves his role in finding someone to fill the position of meteorologist within the department. Case anticipates little or no change in the focus of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department , but realizes that minor changes "naturally occur, because people have different styles of doing a job.'

Case said he feels that he was named acting chairman "to assure continuity" during a transitional period and maintains his perspective by n!membering that his first responsibility is to his students. �.

The ad criticized animal research at Loma Linda U. and encouraged readers to protest the research . 'fhrough ads like this one , and occasionally through more direct interruption of research, animal rights groups are becoming more vocal in their protests against university experiments involving animals. But at the U. of Wisconsin-Madison, the Primate Research Center and a local animal rights group recently called a truce, developing a "Charter of Principles" that satisfies both research needs and the need for humane treatment of animals. The charter spells out principles of animal treatment to ·be used in reviewing . research proposals, says William Bridson, associate director of the center, and allows an Animal Liberation League representative to serve on the review committee. The key to the program's success will be its ability to inform the public about actual research techniques, says Bridson.

A thousand considerations must be recognized and analyzed before a move can be made. In the case of the administration's recent decision to renovate the Stark Learning Center lobby, this was undoubtedly true. Certainly, there must be sound reasons behind the administration's decision to lay new carpeting down in Stark, and to tile the entranceway leading to the lobby. And certainly, the lobby's appearance has been greatly improved as a result of these innovations. But along with the improvements have come warnings to the students who frequent the lobby; now the lobby has been " zoned" as a no-smoking, no-eating, no-lounging area. These directives are not unreasonable, and they are necessary in order to keep the lobby in its new state of repair. But the decision to renovate Stark lobby in this manner, and the resulting necessity for this kind of "zoning," seems to be a result, sorry to say, of a rather shortsighted evaluation. In the first place, no one would dispute tpe fact that students often abused Stark lobby . At the end of some days there was an awesome display of Coke cans, sandwich wrappers, cigarette butts, and other assorted messes littering the lobby floor andfurniture. But this problem had been recognized by students as long as two years ago . Commuter Council discussed the problem at its meetings in 1980, and the Council members agreed that part of the problem was that the lobby was ill-equipped to handle the large amount of traffic it received . The Council's recommendation: that unobtrusive trash containers and cannister ashtrays be placed in the lobby, and that t~e lobby be converted to a "lounge" (complete with plants and more furniture) so that st_udents could utilize the area more effectively. The Council even considered holding coffeehouses in the lobby because of the lobby's prime location and because of its popularity with the student body. The result: Stark lobby remained as it was, and the littering problem continued. One reason students continued to eat, smoke, and "hang out" in the lobby; despite rumblings from the administration, was that the lobby was one of the fewplacesthat ..:ommuter and residence hall students could mingle outside of class. While commuters generally trooped to the Student Center, and residence hall students congregated at the cafe, both groups met halfway in Stark. For commuters, the lobby was especially valuable: it was a comfortable, centrally located locus of interaction. · . When the administration finally decided to begin their clean-up and renovation project of Stark lobby, they seem to have forgotten this. Instead of making the lobby's form fit its function, they seem to have decided to make the reverse true. Would it have been so expensive or inconvenient to put in tile instead of carpeting (tile can't be burned by cigarettes, and can be mopped easily); or to.have installed decorative trash recepticles, or to have worked' outsoniekind uf clean-up campaign with SG or the other Councils, instead of m'erely replacing a ' 'war-torn' ' rug with a new one? Perhaps then there would have been no need for threats of closing the lobby -the livingroom of the " Wilkes family ."

It seems that Reagan , who has ered through nearly two years - reacting, never setting the pace in · n affairs - was finally going to take some firm action to end the ongoArab-lsracli conflict. His ''fresh start'' looks, on the surface, like a bold to carry the Camp David accords to their logical conclusion . Unfortuy there are a few glaring and ominous misconceptions and miscalculainherent in the Reagan plan. p -r 0 The first and most obvious problem with the plan is that it fails to deal · ·cally with the prol,lem of the Palestinians. In short, it docs not recogthe rights of the Palestinians to a homeland . It is somewhat inconceiveand hypothetical that a nation such as the United States which was the . to recognize the tiny state oflsrael in 1948 could tarry so long in recog. g the legitimate rights of the Palestinians to a homeland of their own: r the carnage inflicted by Israelis upon Lebanese and Palestinian alike, need for a Palestinian homeland becomes obvious. Apparently not so to Reagan administration, Reagan's attempt to pass the question and the nsibility for the Palestinians to King Hussein and Jordan points up a · weakness in American foreign policy. Reagan seems to admit that we ply are not capable of bringing enough pressure to bear on the parties lved to resolve the matter in a manner which is equitable and palatable all concerned. The second problem with the Reagan initiative lies in the fact that the assumes that there is a rational government in Israel that really wants a peace. This is, unfortunately, not the case. The Reagan administration learn and then accept the fact that Menachem Begin's historical periveislimited to the Book of Genesis. According to that text- and thus rding to Begin - the land in question was given to the Jews by God. wtherecan be no negotiation over any part of this ''promised'' land. The tion out of hand of the Reagan plan by the Begin government indicates t the Israelis have no intention of ever negotiating in good faith the vital tinian issue. For this reason alone, there will never be peace in the die East as long as the current reactionary government remains in power 1srael. What is necessary is for the leaders of this country to take a firm dagainst further Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. Begin must be that future actions which disturb the fragile balance in the area, such as announcement Monday, September 6, that four more settlements are to established in the West Bank area, will be met with the stiffest embargoes · able to this government - weapons, weapon systems, repair parts and omic credits. Since the U.S. is the primary supplier of weapons to Israel, incumbent upon the United States to put a stop to these so-called "acts defense" by the Israeli government a,1d take whatever actions are n.ecesto bring Israel to the bargaining table. In light of the above, Mr. Reagan's attempt to be a real leader in world · and foreign policy will go the way of his domestic economic policies the drain. His fresh start is unworkable because it ignores the reason which the Palestinians are fighting. It is time for this administration to off its blinders and pull out its ear plugs and see and listen to those in third world. Reagan's administration , like many others before tt, needs bro the basic semantic difference between a terrorist and a nationalist. If is not learned in the very near future - particularly with regard to the e East - this administration and others that will follow will be in for a rough time. tterPolicy · apply to all letThe Beacon for · will be given to letters 11eeithcr (a) written by stuor employees of the college written by outsiders but is.mes that directly condie college. i preferred that letters be towards issues, and not also will be given to letthat arc aitical of Tbe I 0( that ate written in iq,ly to an editorial or -,. 4.

The unfversity· first created 85 j>bs, totaling about 28,000 hours of work , in clerical or mainten.ance areas. "We tried especially to create j>bs that will improve the campus, but wouldn't have ordinarily gotten done,'' says Savarese. These include . refurbishing cbrmitories, landicaping the campus or revising an office filing system . Students make S3.55 an hour. In addition, they can incicate on each weekly time sheet how much they want to save in "work bank" i acco~, to be applied toward fall tuition. For each Sl thus saved, the . . university gives the student a ·50 cent tuition credit. , The 85 positions were dispersed among the 220 j>b applicants through a public lottery '' so students would know it was on the up and up,'' says Savarese. Those 85 students, and other students who work on campus at re~ular student j>bs, can also apply to campus housing for reduced cbrm1tory rates. · r"' The program cost SU $200,G00, but is considered a worthwhile investment because it will keep some students in school who might otherwise have sou~t a less expensive university. "At a private school like . ours, students tuition pays 80% of the cost of their education; so our students are working with a much steeper bill,'' says Savarese.

When the administration ended this, individual dorms took it upon themselves to haze · their freshmen residents. In the past years, hazing has become increasingly humiliating and even dangerous to students as is witnessed to by the deaths of pledges to sororities and fraternities at other colleges and universities. For this reason, the administration and student organizations at Wilkes are condeming participation in hazif1g and enrouraging dorms to participate in the Freshmen Follies sponsored by Inter-Residence Hall Council. Marge LeBlanc, ·president of IRHC states, "The original idea behind hazing was to aqua~nt new students with-college life a:id the urperclassmen. No one should get hurt trying tQ make friends.'· IRHC came - up with the idea of Freshman Follies last year.. and it won the rollegc the title of College of the Month" from 'the National Association of College and Universitity Residence Halls . Each dorm has the opportunity to work out a song or skit for its freshmen and win money for itself by having the best act or the most enthusiastic group in the audience. · Last year was the first year for the Follies and many dorms still hazed their freshmen, but this year the Follies will be the only form of initiation allowed.

The street will be changed officially at a ceremoriy on September 20. John Chwalek , Community Affairs Coordinator, stated that through the efforts of Al Bois the chasnge of the street name was approved by the mayor and the city council. Wilkes College Boulevard will extend from Parrish Hall to the CPA. The street will continue to use the college name until December 31, 1983. Chwalek stated that international flaR~ will fly from the light posts along Wilkes College Boulevard. The flags represent the various nations from which Wilkes College students have come. Chwalek added, "We are very proud of the fact that we've had students at Wilkes representing 27 different countries ." , Flags will be flown across the Market Street bridi;(e representing the various states that Wilkes students call home. In the future, these flags will be flown at commencement ceremonies. Chwalek said that credit for the flags should go to the Committee for the . 50th Anni vers'arv. Chwalek stated, "In all my years at Wilkes , I've seen the col lege come a long way. We're good. I mean reallv good.'' ' DO INSULTS PROMOTE LEARNING?

Opening columns usually run along these lines. It was going to be a discourse upon the value and benefits of sport and was scheduled to highlight and preview the upcoming year. I was all prepared to be enthusiastic and optimistic. As the legendary Dean Ralston says, "Go Witkes!!!" Well, I have put my pompons away. · Recently, by chance I picked-up the Summer 1982 Quarterly and gave the contents a quick perusal. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this college publication, it is the alumni magazine which is organized and written by alumni members for distribution to all graduates of this institution . What I beheld before my eyes left me utterly aghast, and I could feel my blood begin to boil. No, I was not offended by what the magazine contained . I was upset by a gross and unjustifiable omission, an atrocity. l"here was not a single word about the MAC championship which was won by the ·softball team last Spring. No story, no pictures, no nothing. I find this oversight to'be.both appalling~and totally inexcusable . Instead of being enthusiastic and optimistic, I am now angry, bitter and disillusioned. I think that I feel a case of apathy setting in. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that this college could be so unjust and insensitive, especially towards such a special group of athletes . I admit that I am biased, but who can possibly completely ignore their achievement . The whole story has been well-chronicled in past issues of The Beacon, so I will bypass mention of the specifics. However, what I will say is that what these women did was miraculous and resulted in the making of Wilkes College athletic history. They garnered the first ever MAC title for the women's athletic program, and the college's first since 1977 when the baseball team won this highly coveted title . In my estimation, such a feat would be highly interesting to all of the alumni, especially to the Letterwomen of the past. The two most exciting things on campus last year were the achievements of the wrestling and the softball teams. Unfortunately, this college has done its utmost to keep the latter a deep dark secret . Throughout the season game attendance was pitiful, and even though about a hundred people showed up for ~he M:\C tournament, there should have bce11 much more. After all, the host school was Wilkes . Even after the accomplishment there was secrecy. The public relations office did not release anything to the local press, and there was really no fanfare at all. As far as the college was concerned, it was just ;mother game. This omission from the Summer 1982 Quarterly merely serves as an example of a more complex problem. Up until now I really and truly believed that the college cared about the women's athletic program . I was convinced that full support would always be given to all of the teams. I realize now that I was naive and living a fantasy . . Sometimes reality can be very painful. Sometimes it seems a~ if the program is only maintained because the college is required to under the Title 1-X federal regulations . Noncompliance results in the termination of federal funding to the violating college or university. Therefore, we have teams, coaches, players and uniforms. I must point out that I am not questioning the premium which the college places upon academics, for I am in full agreement with this commitment to scholastic excellence. Learnir:.6 comes first before all else. What I do want to say is that a commitment to athletics is also important and emails more than just the aforementioned items and token appearances at games by administrators and faculty members. The most important ingredients are sincerity, sensitivity and taking pride in the program. All of these are sorely lacking at Wilkes in regards to the women's athletic programs. The way I feel about this matter is really unimportant. This column will probably be shrugged off as just another editor blowing off steam . What is truly important is the way the coaches and the players feel. They have to live with the fact that Wilkes College does not give a damn about them. I can only begin to imagine how much it must hurt. Disrespect such as this may have already tarnished the glitter of all of their memories of those shining moments last Spring. Right now they are probably wondering what it will take in order to receive due respect and recognition. Self-fulfillment can only carry one so far. The potential for the winning of more titles is a real part of the Wilkes women's program . All of the teams call themselves the "Wilkes Winning Women'' and take great pride in themselves and each other. However, if this college does not positively change its attitude toward the programs, there just may not be anymore championships . CrossCountry Team Goin Co·ed For .1 982 Fall Seaso such that it would "make the program attractive to everyone ," and second he wanted it to give his runners lots of free time to study. Cross country runners can feasibly train on their own, but in order to improve they must spend some time running as a team. Team practices afford them the opportunity to push each other to the peaks of their ability. Bellairs has scheduled three team practices per week at times he deems convenient for the team. They run on Tuesdays and Thursdays during activity period and on Friday mornings at 6:45. Other than these designated times, the team is left to run on its own. How much the individual member runs is dependent upon availability of time and the amount of dedication . Bellairs credits his new practice schedule as a reason for the good by Ellen Van Riper Coming off an impressive 12-6 record, the Wilkes cross country program will be sporting a new look for 1982, a co-ed team. Coach Bart Bellairs has six female runners and he expects that number to grow . Bellairs has revamped his practice schedule and has added a host of top freshmen recruits to his already fleet corps of talented runners . Coach Bellairs spent last year actively recruiting top notch runners for the Wilkes program. One of the most common sights on campus last year was Bellairs conducting a tour for a prospective student. His hard work and dedication paid off, and this fall he fully expects to reap the fruits of his labor. Expected to immediately make . contributions are three of last year's top high school runners in the Wyoming Valley . George Hockenbury was the number one man for Hanover Are , . Greg Quinn and Owen Murph>· r:;.n number one and two,respectively,for Bishop Hoban. Also expected to keep pace is Tom Morpath from New Jersey . Gone from last year's squad are Ken Pascoe amd Bill Wolfe, and it will be especially difficult to fill Ken's shoes. Ken was both the team captain and the number one runner, and he provided the team with both leadership and consistency. His dedication and positive attitude were a fine example for last year's young runners. Expected to fill these big shoes will be sophomore David Levandoski. Last year David ran number two and consistently came up with solid performances. However, number one will not be had without a struggle . Fellow returnees Tom McGuire.Joe Dill, Andy Grant and Bill Lynch should push Levandoski to the wire . It should prove to be an exciting race. · Bellairs has designed his new practice schedule with two goals in mind. First of all, he wanted it to be turnout for the distaff side of program. The girls practice at same time as the guys. The girls who have been prac ing are all experienced runners, some have run cross country or tr in high school. According to lairs, they are all "sweet girls good runners." He also makes claim that they are '' the best loo girls' cross country team in the tion.'' This year's team has no seni and yet, Bellairs is "very opti tic.'' He has faith in the talent of young thoroughbreds, a~d beli that his innovations will have a p tive effect upon the program. fact, he is bold enough to prod that "The future is ours. " If year is any indication of what to pect, Wilkes should be in the rac the way to the finish line of MAC Championships . Quotes Of Note .

TS _ Page 12, The Beacon, · September 10, 1982 ·\ Yingut ,.~ ~akest -O ver ·Soccer Program by Ellen Van Riper A new face is oftimcs accompanied by renewed hope, especially in the sphere of collegiate atlrletics . Each year always seems to bring with it another savior. Phil Wingert will be the new face on the soccer sidelines this Fall, but he is not promising any miracles . He has a realistic view of the program and knows that extensive recruitment and patience will be the keys to success in the future . In addition to his soccer duties, Wingert will be filling the position of Sports Information Director and will be supervising a few physical education classes . A 1tJ77, gtaduate of _Cortland bm: ih New Y<1rk, Wihgett i nd stranger to ~fthet the spat of soccet t,t Division 1II atHletits. He played soccet fot four yea:rs fo r a highly successful program , and in his senior year he was a starting fullback for a team which made it to the Division III national finals . He graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education from Cortland and then went on to Virginia Tech to receive 1, Masters Degree in Athletic Administration in 1978. Wingert spent three years as both the soccer coach and the Athletic Direcror for a New York public high school. Being the AD entailed much contact with the media - Wingert was able to gain some fundamental experience; in the management of sports information . The lure of college socc<:r was difficult to resist, and Wingert left his position at the high school and spent last year as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech. The program at Tech is Division I, so this too was an in valu:1.ble experience . Sb why forego a D ivision t assist attt ctJath ing position ttJ com e to . W ilkes ? According to W ingert , there are many reasons . Wilkes is in a beautiful area which is reasonably close to his home town , and perhaps most important of all , it afforded him an opportunity to continue as a head coach in an environment similar to the one in which he played. Filling the dual role of head soccer coach and SID is both challenging and time consuming .. Wingert feds that the combination of his past experience in sports information, the fact that he is a bachelor, and his strong and diversified background in soccer was the decisive factor which gained him his position at Wilkes. As far as coaching is concerned , Wingert approaches it in a manner similar to his assessment of the Wilkes soccer program ; realistically . He does not promise miracles, nor does he expect them from his players . His goal in regards to a team is " to get as close as possible to its potential," and he does this by instilling an atm osphere of fun . combined with hard work. Mistakes and losses are inevitable , but they are only excusable if something is learned from them . Wingert expects his players to Softball Update: Lady Colonels Rank Highly In NCAA Final Seasonal Stats lu ~II p Vit,t ffi~r Thi~ js f~C fi11~I i:ljapnir of a truly m iraculous and mcredible story. (I only wish that I had the movie rights to this one.) .It all began as a seemingly unrealizable dream in the early days of last spring. Back then the thought of winning a championship was at the most a whim; it was a fantasy which would occasionally peek out into the world of reality for a fleeting moment and tantalize the mind . As the days passed by and the victories accumulated, these once furtive glances became unabashed stares. The fantasy was becoming increasingly fond of what it saw hap- pening in the real world . Time and time again the Lady Colonels would overcome incredible odds to defeat their opponents . They seemed to always come up w,ith just what was necessary to win. Back on April 24 _:u Kirby-Park the fantasy stared a bit too long. Perhaps like the rest of the spectators there it could not believe what was happening. The Lady Colonels came back in dramatic fashion to defeat both Delaware Valley 4- 3 and Muhlenberg 12-11 to garner the first-ever women's MAC title for Wilkes College . The fantasy had ended , and reality had begun . And yet , there is still more. After winning the tide, the Lady Colonels anxiously awaited the NCAA's announcement of the teams which had been sdcq ~ to cqrnp~ic in fhe regionals . The Division III Championships were scheduled to contain ten teams with at least one Fepresentative from each of four regions. Throughout most of the season, the Lady Colonels had been ranked number one in the North Central region, and they were deservedly chosen as one of the elite ten . Going into the regionals the team was seeded tenth , and thus were paired with the top seed, Trenton State. On May 14 and 15 the team traveled to Trenton to play a best-ofthree series . The ladies gave it their all and foughi: hard, but this time the odds were just too ·great, They had run out of miracles and .were defeated in two games 10-2 and 8-5. Playing rough against the top team in the· country and losing is certainly nothing to be ashamed about. The ladies ended the season with a 15-71 overall record . Approximately two months after the championships, the NCAA released its final Division III softball statistics, and the Lady Colonels finished highly in both team and individual categories. As a team the ladies finished sixth in scoring with an 8.9 per game average . They scored 196 runs overall. Individually, three Lady Colonels received mention . Heading this group was junior catcher and team captain Karen Johnson whp placed third in batting, RBIs, home runs and triples . In 68 at-bats Karen connected for 33 hits, a .485 average . She had 34 RBIs overall and a 1.48 per game average. Her home run and triple totals of seven and five were good for averages of . 30 and .22 . Also included in the RBI ratings were junior Cathy Lee arid sophomore Karen -Bove . Cathy finished seventh with a 1. 26 average and 29 overall, and Karen was tenth with _ 1.09 per game and 25 total. Several of the team members also received recognition in the form of All-Conference and All-Star selection . Karen Johnson and freshman pitcher Sue Schwartz were chosen as . members of both the NPWIAA AllConference and the MAC Northern Division All-Star teams . Stacey Keely and Karen. Bove were also selected to the MAC team, and Cathy Lee was selected to the NPWIAA team . Congratulations to all of you . This story of a miracle is now complete , but the memories still linger on. ,No one involved will ever forget . it, as attested to by Coach Roberts, ''Even to this day I can only feel tears as I often have flashbacks of all of the special moments with each and every player. ,I,t is something I could never forget . Look forward to the sequel th is spring . play within their ability and to give a full effort all the time . As far as discipline goes, he expects them to do what is asked of them and to show respect for the school, the coaches, the referees and the team . In other words , they are to "behave like gentlemen ." Wingert describes this year's team as a "good group of guys who work hard and who are ea~er to learn." However, "they have no real concept of the game .'' This plus a lack of experience has prompted Wingert to assess his team as being able to go . 500 if they beat the teams of their equal skill. To do this the team will have to avoid injuries and receive solid performances from a number of players. On offense.Wingert will be looking to a host of players to supply the firepower. Sophomores Jim Hancharick , John Ackerman and Mike McKenna will team with Broome Community College transfer Greg Losier and junior Bill Ronca to hopefully fill the _nets for the blue and gold . The defense will be strengthened by the return of senior goalie Bob Bruggeworth who missed all of last season with an injury . In front of him will be senior stopper back Scott Le Febre , sophomore sweeper Tim Williams and sophomore fullback Paul O'Leary . Backing up Bruggeworth in goal will be fr~shman Dave Riemeret . ~ by Rebecca WI .As part of the W 0th Anniversary Cele mber 24 has been ers Day and will be r ost formal event < nany ,a nniversary acti, The Founders Day ill celebrate the t ilkes College as Bu i;ollege in 19 33.

The theory behind this is that the school should ·not finance someone who causes it damage . The Student Government members present were in total agreement with this idea. The meeting then turned to the Cinderella ball and the continuing conflict concerning formal and semi-formal wear. Suggestions on solving the problem included getting at least 70 percent of the men interested in going formal to sign a list which would then .be taken to merchants to convince them to give discounts on tuxedos . Apparently, local store owners want guarantees of mass business before agreeing to group rates. . Vice-president Pringle pointed out that many of the inen who sign may not be able to attend, and this would anger local vendors. The subject was left behind following the suggestion of a student poll. . In other business, the Women's Athletic Association was unanimously granted their request for $1,005 to attend four away football games. A decision was made to raise the amount of monetary assistance given to groups building floats for the Homecoming parade from $35 to $50 . President Kerchusky reminded those present that organizations must show their receipts for purchases of supplies before they will be reimbursed. Mention was made of the S.G . sponsored Student Center party this Friday night. The theme of the party is " The Flood. " The meeting ended with a slide presentation . by a representative of the Diabetes Association which promoted their summer camp for diabetic children . He was there as part of the newly formed Community Committee chaired by Stacey Keeley and Terry Shemo. by Mike Wolf Wilkes is trying to regain permission for students to park in the lot behind Denison Hall which was deemed unsuitable for parking by the city zoning board at the end of the 1982 spring semester . Last spring, a petition from residents surrounding the lot was presented to the zoning board. Kirk Forman , IRHC parking committee chai rman , stated that one of the mat or complaints was that the private property between the Denison· lot and the parking lot behind Gore Hall was being driven across by students. Another complaint involved the amount of noise generated by people using the lot at odd hours. According to Forman, the lot could hold approximately 20 vehicles.

The Denison lot is registered as an S-2 lot and any plans involving the lot must be approved by the zoning board.

" Little has been done to improve the lot since the old Denison Hall had been ripped down to provide parking space .

The Council was created last year, but IRHC President Marge LeBlanc pointed out that it lacked efficiency and was unable to make any decisions. She plans to start the council over again this year, first drafting a constitution from which it may work. A decision was made for IRHC to sponsor a bus trip to the Bloomsburg Fair on Friday, October 1. As of yet, the exact time of departure is unknown, though it will most likely be around 5 p.in. Cost of the trip will" be posted around campus . The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will be performing that evening at the fair and IRHC is looking into ticket prices for interested students . Raul ·Gochez, representing the ~ ·studeq_t Ceoter . Board , reported that they will be sponsoring a whitewater rafting trip on October 24. The trip will cover 18 miles of the Lehigh River and take approximately 10 hours . Full deposit of$23 must be in . to the Student Center Board Office by October 1. Wetsuits will be available for rental fee of$ 5. People are requested to sign up in groups of 4 or 5; 60 to 80 reservations will be accepted . The issue of formal or semiformal attire for the Cinderella Ball was once again discussed. President LeBlanc announced that "at this point, formal attire is strongly suggested." It was also mentioned the SG will be putting out a questionaire to get student input on this problem . Mention was made of the annual NACURH , National Association of College and University Residence Halls, convention to be held November 5th to 7th, at George Washington University . Students who might be interested in attending should know that they do not have to be members of Wilkes IRHC. The council also expressed their desire to take a large delegation this year. Tod Hogan, maintenance committee chairman, was assailed by requests for maintenance assistance . Complaints included a lack of screens in Pickering Hall . Another major complaint, voiced by IRHC Vice-president Stacy Lipman is the fact that the maids for Founders Hall have not been informed that they are supposed to clean the students' bathroom . Residents of Founders Hall were assured that, unless they specifically requested that their bathroom not be cleaned , the school inaintenance service would take care of it.

We at Wilkes are grateful to so many people and organiza tions who gave of themselves.

Alfred S. Groh , director of Wilkes Cultural Activities composed and read a poem •written especially for the occasion. In 1933, Wilkes was founded as a two-year extension of . Bucknell University. At that time the United States was in the middle of a deep depression but the enthusiasm of the young men and women who enrolled during those early years inspired the founding of a four -year liberal arts institution to serve those of '' limited financial means but unlimited hopes and dreams." From its humble beginning in one rented room , the college now occupies 23 acres and provides academic pro- grams of excellence in many disciplines. Also noted during the cermony was the fact that the First Presbyterian Church served on several occasions as a classroom during those early years, when the college facilities could not accommodate the ever-growing student enrollment . . Music was provided by Beverly Perry, Pamela Samuelson, both music majors at Wilkes and Myron · Leet, Organist for the First Presbyterian Church .

Dr. Fahmy has been the director since September, 1980, and has continuously worked to expand the program. At the present time, the continuing education program involves activities such as courses, workshops, seminars, on-the-site training and in-house presentations. A total of 5,000 students have participated since September, 1980. The courses being offered have been categorized into three main areas. They are as follows: Professional Development, Cultural Enrichment and Personal Improvement. The area of Professional Development includes courses such as Cash Management, Health Care, The Law and Broadcasters and Mechanical Drafting. One of the more popular courses in this area is Basic Investing which deals with common stocks: corporate bonds and how to establish investment objectives. The courses under Professional Development have proved to be very popular with nurses, doctors, accountants and teachers . Offered Enrichment The Cultural Enrichment program has scheduled for this fall: Ukranian Language and Culture, A Literary Panorama from Homer to Shakespeare and a Study Tour to Egypt. Enrollment for the trip to Egypt is limited to 20 participants. It will give an opportunity to examine Egyptian culture , art, history and modern society. For people interested in Personal Improvement, courses such as Acting, Music Therapy and The Total Image are being offered. A popular course is Stress Management which focuses on sources of stress, human needs and goals, how to control lives and the reduction of stress. These non-credit courses are open to anyone and are being taught by local professors and specialized field experts . Most courses are based on a five week period . With each new period will come different curriculum , although some classes may be repeated if popularity deems necessary. An attempt is made to deal with topics that conform to the needs of the community. ". . . what people reproach us with is not , after all, our pessimism, but the sternness of our optimism .''

We've only published one issue, and al~ r l ready we' ve offended someone. Freshmen This past Friday I was sitting at my .desk in the Beacon office, as I usually do on Fridays from 2:00 until eternity. I should have been reviewing my agenda for the upcoming Beacon staff meeting, sorting mail, checking assignments , calling various offices on campus, and labeling subscriptions. I was, in fact, drinking large amounts of Tab soda and complaining that I never got any good letters on my pull-tabs. It was Friday, I reasoned gleefully, and that fact alone made my present irresponsibility acceptable. After laboring through a hell-fire week of nervous tension , social pressure , and Philosophy 220 , I wasn't about to take this Friday afternoon seriously. . . . . . · · Obviously, I was tempting Fate. I knew I was doomed when I popped open my second can of Tab and found no letter at all on the pull-tab. My mental forebodings turned out to be well-founded, for almost at that very moment there was an ominous knock on the office door. I jumped (and consequently dropped my letterless pull-tab into my soda) and squeaked something dumb like "Enter at your own risk ." I then turned my attention back to my soda. A moment later , in stalked a yo un$. man who, I thought, would have been rather handsome if he didn t m have white smoke coming out of his ears, and who held a Beacon in his ij fingers the way a Swarthmore debutante would hold an off-the-rack , " blouse - with obvious distaste. I knew then that I was in trouble. In what I hoped was voice that oozed self-confidence and businesslike savoir-faire, I asked the red-faced stu-· dent if there was something I could do for him (at the same time praying that-he hadn 't seen me a few seconds before, when I was squinting into my soda and damning the submerged pull-tab to Dante's seventh ~rcle):- H1::waved the·;ll~ ff t_ired-looking Be~c_on he was holding in the air, an·d·pomted to the editomil page ..,_ spenf1cally, to one of the student .' "political-'·' col'umns there '- and growled, " Is this the actual cpinion of this paper?" _ ·· . Oh God, I thought desperately, he 's f rom the 'CIA or something and he tJ;inkswe hate Reagan or wear red underwear or something and I can 't handle this on a Friday. Oh God. " I beg your pardon?" I responded calmly. ''Does this column'' (he stabbed the column furiously with his finger) "reflect the viewpoint of this paper?" he asked again. I knew then that he wasn't from the OA; a CIA man would have used a declarative sentence and mentioned something about the American flag. I knew too what the young man was getting at: he thought the "political" column was an official stand (he apparently didn't know that Beacon . editors, as a general rule, shrink from official stands) and that we were trying to convert the little ole Beacon into some kind of long-haired, hippie-type liberal publication. Well, now I was on sure footing. Discreetly putting my Tab on the far side of my desk (the perverse little pull-tab clinked loudly inside anyway) I tried to assuage the student's anger by explainin~, rather inadequately, the Beacon 's policy for its "student comment 'columns. . l don~ t. khow, if I appeased.this person, or if he merely realized that he was spealiing to a mentally exhausted incompetent on a Friday afternoon, but he neyer got nasty or broke anything, and he left the office without giving me 'any . ·. · arm gestures. And though this person is taking a lot of abuse in this column, let me note that his confusion (and his anger) were understandable; the "political" commentaries in last week's Beacon weren't given any introduction or explanation. So for his benefit, and for the benefit of any other readers who may have mistaken our intentions, let me explain: We at The Beacon feel that the students on this campus have a lot to say about a variety of topics and we want to provide a forum where students can "sound off" about issues_.:.. local, national, or worldwide issues about which they feel strongly. We encourage all students to reply to, refute, or rebute ideas that are ~resented in The Beacon and with which they disagree. The two students columns in the September 10 issue that were pohtically orient. ed were written by students who had something to say - something we thought was worth listening to. If you disagree with their views, write to us. And if you want to write a weekly column about your area of interst, come see us at Parrish 27, and we'll see what you've got to say. And if you have a "W" on a pull-tab, please let me know. I'm getting only blanks lately. Parrish Hall 16 S.

Presicrnt 's position on this ishas sparked much criticism from Western European allies and ·can crtentists. Even MargThatcher, Reagan's staunchEuropean ally, finds herself sepfrom the Presi~nt by the abyss of the pipeline issue . In 111alysis of this grave issue, we the pro-pipeline argument ded the common sense and moral '[ies that our foreign policy has · llyencompassed. , let's look at the economic of the pipeline. By the .ado/ the Western Europeans ves, the pipeline will provide 30 rcent of their natural as mitting student ifiliated ID will submite right . judged ,bscene, Only te final 1. ey will not supply . This leaves the Soviets with a strong bargaining position vis-avis the West. No matter how often the Soviets deny it, the time is inevitable when they will threaten Western Europe with a gas stoppage. If you fin~ this hard to believe, consider the fact that the Soviets have actually cut off trade to their own Czechoslovakian and Rumanian satellites when they felt it was important enough to win concessions. Also, who can overlook the fact that the Soviets have violated almost every mapr agreement they have ever signed (most recently, the Helsinki Group, an organization inside the Soviet Union designed to monitor Russian adherence to the human rights aspects- of the Helsinki Agreement, was disbanded because all but three memhers had been either imprisoned or exiled by the government). Another important economic aspect of the pipeline is that it will provide the Soviet Union with as much as $ 70 billion per year in hard West- ern European currencies . This monetary infusion will enable the Soviets to shore up their staggering economy, and therefore spend even more money on their military buildup. After all , we know where the Soviets spend their money when given a choice between their people and their army. Predictably, the detentists argue for continued American participation in the construction of the pipeline on the grounds that a discon tinuation of such participation would adversely affect U.S. companies, while permitting foreign corporations to profit. This argument is only valid in a nation whose foreign policy is based on pure political expediency and opportunism . We like to think that American foreign policy is based on principles of a higher nature. We are sympathetic with the problems of U .S. industry, but the security of the United States and the free world is of more importance than momentary dealings of certain industries. Finally, who can overlook the human cost of the pipeline's construction. The Soviets have been mobilizing masses of slave laborers to work on this prOf,'ct, as they cb for almost all of t!ieir large public work< prOf,'cts . A large portion of these workers are Vietnamese and Cambodian laborers, who have been loaned to the Soviet Union as payment for debts by their respective governments. This use of slave labor has caused the French and Gerri-Ian governments much concern, yet for some incomprehensible reason, these nations are willing to over look such a massive violation of human rights. Looking comprehensively at this pipeline controversv. it is easily seen how the pipeline is in the best interests of the Soviets, and in the worst interest of the Free World and humanity itself. We only wish that our NA TO allies would recogn ize this, and end their participation in this self-destructive proj>ct. ~===$~==~ by James Watkinson The Reagan A9IT1inistration, in its own inimitable fashion, decided recently to issue sanctions against companies who had the temerity to engage in free enterprise by selling equipment to complete the trans-European pipeline. There are basically two important issues involved here - economics and defense . Reagan once again has shown a remarkable lack of understanding of the issues involved. Reagan and his administration, ostensibly devoted to free enterprise, free trade, and supply-side economics, seem to have abandoned those principles by slapping sanctions on the Dresser-France company and John Brown Industry of Great Britain. These companies both had legal and binding contracts to deliver the materials and equipment they sent to the pipeline project .

Who were these people whose family names are inscribed on plaques and displayed on the fronts of their respective buildings? When did they live? What did they do? The maj:>rity of residence halls are named for the early families who were · instrumental in the development of the Wyoming Valley. Dana, Gore , Slocum, Sterling and Sturdevant are a few of the residence halls that fall into this category.

Dr. Eugene Farley, president of the college, granted him this and he has been a member of the faculty ever since . Looking back, Kanner said that Wilkes gave him a good educ~tion. '' Over the years,'' he said, "Wilkes has kept a good staff." He added that Wilkes has proven to be a quality institution since it is high on the list of many schools accepting graduate students. He mentioned Marywood and Penn State as schools which rank Wilkes high . In his years of teaching different generations of students, Kanner commented that he wouldn't have wanted to skip one. He said that he enjoyed his own generation because the people were motivated and yet still close together. He said that although the generation of today is not seen in everyone's eyes as being moral , it is still a good group of people.

Delaware and Chesapeake have interesting sources for their names they're taken from Indian tribes who once inhabited this area. As a resident student, I became particularly interested in the history of my hall and its namesake, Gilbert S. McOintock , so I decided to do some research .. . McOintock Ball was built in 1841 as the home of Attorney Andrew Todd McClintock . The house was originally i two and a half story brick structure built in the Greek revi val style. Additions added to the house in 1850, 186'3 and 1907 gave the house its present structure. The hall , which housed three generations of the McOintock family, was given to Wilkes College in 1951 by Gilbert Stuart McClintock . Gilbert Stuart McClintock, born in Wilkes-Barre on December 27JI'he Brid,! 1886, was a prominent lawyer dur-bavid Sar ing the first half of the 1900's. lek tra/1\ After graduating from Princeton University in 1908 , he attended the David Sa University of Pennsylvania Law famil iar School.

Decorating Tips ForDoi-mers by Donna Nitka "How am I going to decorate my room this year?" That is a question that resident students frequently ask at the beginning of each new school year. Here are a few suggestions to help you answer that question . · First of all , determine exactly what it is that you have ro,work with . Choose the specific features you want to accent, such as windows, fireplaces, etc., a_n d those you wish to conceal. With these in mind , plan the placement of your furniture . Students with smaller rooms may want to maximize their ''free space." This can be done by bunking beds and/or placing them lengthwise against a wall. Storing excess furniture , books, blankets and other paraphernalia out of view will make the room appear less cluttered and larger. Students with larger rooms may want to utilize as mucbspaceas possible. Placing a bed so that it comes out into the middle of the room will break a large room into two smaller sections. The remainder of the furniture can then be evenly distributed throughout the room. Once your furniture is in place you 'll want to work on either highlighting or concealing certain features of your room . Hanging plants, mobiles and light-colored curtains will draw attention to the windows . Pictures , posters , plaques and mirrors can be used to conceal cracks in the walls and doors that are no longer used . Tapestries and fishnets hung in just the right area will hide sloping ceilings, and other odd angles from view. Still have bare walls that need covering? Why not try a large palm fan? These fans can be painted or spongedyed any color or decorated with silk flowers. Why not create a rainbow out of ribbon? Or a collage using ''"' "~,..,..,,,. . photos and articles from variom magazines? Thin straw mats (available in a variety of styles), latch .hoo designs and pillows in the shape o letters, flowers , butterflies , balloons , etc., make excellent wall hangings also. In addition to these, large and small plants , flowers, larg pillows, stuffed animals, plasti milk crates and shelving units can used to make the most of a room With a little imagination , any roo can be made to fit anybody 's per sonality.

Over the summer months, the college ad. ministration worked to improve the . appearance of the campus and open up a center of the campus. Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of management, played a large role in planning and execut ing these changes. He stated that in 1978 a campus planning guide was distributed to students, faculty and members of the administration. Included in this was a questionnaire which asked people to plot the routes they took most frequently across.campus. From these, the administration planned a refined c;lesign for the. ~· campus grounds. · This summer , the school implemented their plans. These included a campus-wide greenway . Dr. Shaw said, ' ' These areas are landscaped mostly with grass. By keeping the areas free of shrubs, less time and manpower is required to groom the lawns.' ' The area between the Student Center and Stark Leaming Center, which Dr. Shaw refers to as ' 'the center of campus'' received a major facelift during the summer months. The many overhead wires that crisscrossed this area have all been moved underground. New concrete sidewalks have replaced the old stone ones which were uneven and made it easy to trip. Though some ~ple protested the change, Shaw felt the safety of students was more important than the rustic look provided by the stone walks. The grass seed for the area was donated by the Class of 1982. One lane of the cobbelstone driveway next to the Student Center was removed because it was deteriorating. It also presented a potentially hazardous situation to students ; many students cut across the driveway while other students . are attempting to drive on it. The area behind the Student Center has been converted from a parking lot into a basketball court. "The school feels it should provide students with more recreational · facilities, ' ' Shaw said. On the present parking situation at Wilkes, Dr. Shaw stated that he will most likely be making an appeal to the city zoning board on behalf of the ·school in its attempt to regain the Denison parking lot. "Parking has been a problem since the inreption of Wilkes and probably will be long after I retire.'' Shaw requests that students stay off the lawns and clean up litter :- from the school grounds.

The teams consist of fifteen players each , and the only equipment are sticks and a ball . The game closely resembles the more familiar sports of field hock~y and lacrosse. The object of the game is to drive the small ball with a paddel-like stick called a " hurley" or a " cam an" through the goal posts which are placed at the ends of a playing field measuring approximately 150 yards long and 90 yards wide . The goal posts stand 21 feet apart in the middle of the end lines and are normally 21 feet high . There is a crossbar eight feet from the bortom, and a goal equaling three points is awarded when the ball is driven between the posts and under the crossbar. When the ball is drive I between the posts and ove, the crossbar, a single point is awar led . The goal area, usually f fteen yards by five yards , is based d reedy in front of the goal posts, an I it is off-limits to attackers, unle I the ball has arrived there before ti em . The "caman" is approxi, 1ately three and a halffeetlong in th · handle, varying a little in acco :lance with the height of the indi ·idual player. At the end is a crookec blade which is three inches across at ts widest point . The favorite wo ,d for the making of i:he " ·c aman" sash, for it stands up well. 'the J?all or.'~~liothan:; is.a1 proxi- , ; mately, llineto t_e n inches inc rcum. fete nce and wel'ghs· anywher, from three and a half ounces to fo ur and a half ounces. The cover is made of horsehide with a ridge of hard leather stitching around the ball to aid in the handling of it. The core is made of cork and is tightly wound with thread or yarn . The teams are composed of a goalkeeper, six defenders, two midfielders, and six forwards. A maximum of three substitutes may be introduced during the course of the game. The official line-up consists of the goalkeeper, a fu ll-back, two backs, two half-backs, a centerback, two mid-fielders, two halfforwards, a center forward and three full-forwards . When in play, the ball may not be lifted off the ground v;ith the hand. It has to be raised with the " caman'', and may then be struck direct, on the volley or half-volley, or it may be caught i~ the hand . The by Chris Baron art of the game is to quickly and skillfully lift the ball with the stick . The ball may be caught, struck with the hand , or kicked. However, it may not be thrown, or carried in the hand for more than three paces. A player can run as far as he wishes with the ball balanced on the blade of the stick . His only obstacle is the opposition . This tactic , called the solo run , is a distinctive feature of the game . The hurler must master the following basic skills: the ability to control and direct the ball· both on the ground and in the air; the power to drive the ball far and accurately; the ability to stop the ball in flight and flick it away from an opponent's stick; and dexterity in avoiding an opponent 's stick when players crash in pursuit of the ball. The games are normally sixty minutes in length except for Senior Provincial finals and All-Ireland and semi-finals and firials, which are eighty minutes . The time is divided into equal halves with the teams changing sides at the end of the first . The game is physical , shoulder-charging or blocking is permitted . However, the players cannot trip , push , or pull an opponent , and also cannot dangerously swing or backlash with the stick-. These infrac tions are penalized by a free shot at the goal of the offe nding team . A player who deliberately strikes an opponent with stick or fist is r;jeqed by the referee, and he is not replaced in the line-up. _,The minimum punishment is two week's suspension . Due to the fu ll swing given to the stick, hurling may appear to be a high-risk game to the uninformed observer. However, the players, who have been using the sticks since childhood , instinctively keep them between themselves and their opponents "caman " as a shield . The players do receive their fair share of bumps , scrapes , and bruises, but serious injuries are rare . Statistics prove hurling to be far less dangerous than regular American foot ball: The ideal hurler has both strength and skill . Powerful wrists and forearms enable the player to dodge through with the ball perfectly controlled by his stick. The skilled and strong hurler is able to flick the ball accurately with a very short swing, even though closely tackled and seemingly hemmed in. Along with the pass offense, Unsworth -has instilled a new atti· " I was pleased . We wanted to - tude among his players.

OLLEYBALL II ilkes vs. Scranton At The Wilkes Gym ept ;' 21At 7:00pm - EEFERS ARMY & NAVY by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team opened its 1982 season by notching two victories last Saturday at Kirby Park. Despite not finishing a runner in either of the two top spots, the Colonels still managed to top Elizabethtown College 24-35 and Philadelphia Pharmacy 26- 32. As illustrated by this fact , it is evident that the Wilkes runners are a deep and talented team . They will definitely be a force to be contended with throughout the season. Sophomore David Levandoski was the top finisher for Wilkes on a day which was less than ideal for cross country running. let alone physical activity of any kind . It was hot and humid , and Coach Bellairs noted that these factors adversely af~ec~d all of the times . D avid came in third with a time of27:43. Freshman George Hocken bury and sophomore Tom McGuire were the next two Colonel finishers placing fifth and sixth. Their times of 28:30 and 28:35 indicate that they' must have had quite a battle to the tape. The next places which the Colonels garnered were tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. Chuck Harris came in at 30:42, Mark Murphy came in at 30:50 and Andy Grant finished at 31: 10. Other fi nishers for W ilkes were freshmen Greg Quinn and Owen Murphy . Quinn came in fourteenth · at 31 : 32 and Murphy came in twentieth at 34:20 . Last Satur<lav was also the debut for the first ever femal e memh(, r, of the team . Running a course ~hnrt er than the men ' s, Ann Hartaman was the first Lady Colonel runner to cros.~ the line. -She came in fourth with a time of 23 :42.

The members are Cl;uistopher Rowland, violin; Jonathan ,Spacey, violin; NOTICE ' There will be _a meeting for ·the Class of 1984 on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. in SLC 1. ' All juniors are invited to attend. Alan George, violin; and loan Davies, cello . The group has always been closely associated with the music of Shostakovitch, the twentieth century Russian composer. Alan George, describing the first 1 1 Shostakrndtch quartets; has said, "these . . . could hardly represent a more varied experiente. Generally, they tend to be outward-looking in spirit, and although they are certainly not without their moments .of sadness and melancholy they are often robust and occalionaly lighthearted." In addition to Shostakovitch, the Quartet gives special attention to works of the later Romantic period and ~ontemporary composers. The Quartet is world renowned and has recorded unde labels including Decca and RCA. The discs include quartets of Franck, Del Delius, Sibelius, Faure, Verdi, Ravel and Bartok. They- hllve aP.peared with many prominent soloists such as pianist Alli:n Schiller, clarinetists Alan / Hacker and Lesley Schatzberger, violinist Carolyn Spaery and cellist Moray Welsh and Christopher van Kampen. They have also appeared with Leon Gossens, with whom they have made a record on the RC A label. The quartet has held concerts in various areas in the British Isles and has had numerous broadcasts on the BBC. They have given two concert tours in the U.S.S.R. both of which included an appearance on Soviet television. In 1978 they spent a few weeks at Bucknell University, where they currently have a biennial residency. In 1981 each · of them received the degree of Doctor of Music from the university . They have made their debuts in Paris, Geneva, Amsterdam, Dublin, New York and Finland.

CADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER ~ngler ices Offered Throughout the Year by Rebecca Whitman The apparently apathetic response of many Wilkes students to Stark Lobby Thy was the main topic of discussion at Monday night's student government meeting. President Elaine Ke re husky noted that she received "unfavorable response" from many students who she approached with handouts which asked for student support in keeping the lounge litter-free . ~ntion was then made of the anonvmously published ''Farewell ·to Stark Lobby" flyers. These were apparently put out in response to the student _government handouts andtolistadayof activities · to "celebrate" the end of Stark Lobby . Included in the list were dinner and dancing and.a fin.iii: eulogy•:- ~. · .. I.:kan H:iover, advisor to SG stated .that thqugh the fliers were a ·oegaJive resp9nse to the lobi?y day, they at least showed that - "sQmeone -was taking . notice of a ttempts to save1he lobb y." No motio n was passed on the i.~sue, everyone agreeing that students need more time to ad- just to the whole idea and the enforcement of the rules. President Kerchusky noted that SG members should continue their efforts to keep the area free of re fuse. She also noted that, in the end, the decision as to the fate of the lobby rests with President Capin. Cindy Bonham, co-chairman of the Academic Standards Committee, reported that the committee r; presently working on revising the college policy which forces students who have been on academic probation for two semesters,and then fail to meet minimum grade requirements, to drop out for a year. Presently, an effort is being made to allow non-matriculating, or part-time and continuing education students, who have failed and are required to leave Wilkes for a year.,to talie cq urses at lh'e SC hool during this interim period. Credits forcourses taken during this period may or may not be laterappliedtoward a degree .

Later, Talenti also stated that wording is being worked out in an attempt to possibly apply this policy to regular, full-time students. Reporting for the Academic Committee of which he and Bonham are also co-chainnen, Talenti reported that it had been discovered that the Student Bill of Rights had been passed last year, a fact not previously known. According to Talenti, this document was not published in the current student handbook because of its length. The bill of rights assures students of the rights which have been given to them,hut not written out before. Talemi also stressed that "the more informative parts of the document is the implied responsibilities of s tu<le nts." Copies of the Bill of Rights are available through the dea n's office. Keith Sands ,t nno unced that this year SG will be co-span, soring the Ve rmo nt ski trip to Sugarbush and Stowe with the Polar Bear Club.

And every year, each candidate makes promises to his constituants; some of the promises are kept, while others fall, unresolved, into obscurity. The parking situation on campus has been the focal point of many campaign speeches in the past. Of the three organizations, Commuter Council traditionally has been the most vocal about the need for better maintained lots, more parking spaces for commuters, and more orderly and fair systems of distributing parking spaces to the commuter population. The Council, ·during the past few years, has tried to appraise realistically the parking problem, and had usually arrived at some fairly accurate conclusions: that the Council should strive to acquire more parking spaces for commuters, but should keep in mind that because space is so limited on campus, the number of spaces ( 68) probably will not increase; and that the Council probably will be most effective in alleviating commuters' parking problems if it concentrates its efforts on reducing the costs of other forms of transportation for commuters or re ducing the costs of off-campus parking. Presently, the parking spaces on campus are distributed on the basis of need. That i~., commuter students must apply for parking spaces (the Coun cil received 27 6 applications this past summer) and the applications are reviewed by a Council committee that uses a point system to determine which commuters ''need'' an on-campus space the most. The students who are awarded the most points are given parking spaces, for which they pay no fees or daily rates. Those students not awarded spaces are left with four alternatives: they can take the bus to school and purchase LCT A "flash pases" (which the Council sells at cost) ; they can purchase Park'N Lock coupons at the cost of $4 a week from the Council ; they can park on the street and try to deal with the city's me ters; or they can park at one of the local lots that charge from twentyfive to seventy-five cents an hour . After reviewing the parking situation , one is forced to question the fairness of even this rather elaborately constructed system for distributing campus space~. Some students are given free parking for an entire sem ester, while others (who may have only been "two points away") must pay for off-campus spaces. Even at the reduced coupon rates, the costs add up for these students. Last year a suggestion was considered by Commuter Council that would have equalized somewhat the parking costs for all commuters: That a student awarded an on -campus space be charged a fee (perhaps $25) , and that this money be used to further subsidize the costs of offcampus parking. The suggestion, which seemed a feasible and fair one, was batted about by the Council's members for a time , but no one seem ed to take it very seriously . At least , the plan wasn't put into effect this fall. The plan certainly deserves further consideration by the Council. Though those students wh o travel considerable distances to reach the campus each day deserve "first dibs " on the on-campus parking spaces. these same students should be willing to pay a small fee for the conven ience of a guaranteed parking space so close to their classes.

It was a good time had by all, we' re sure! But there were things stolen, at our expense. After all the time, effort , organization, and planning that went into the Pig Roast party , we felt that our efforts were abused. After all, Wilkes is supposed to be a "FAMILY" and we, as a part of that family, had hoped to have the cooperation and maturity of the students. When we planned this Pig Fahmy Welcomes Class of 1984 Roast. it was supposed to be for everyone to j ust get together , to ''hang out ' ' and have a good time. But . all it takes is a handful of people to be unappreciative and ruin it for everyone. TOO BAD!! People expect the school to plan outings, then something like this happens, and people still wonder why the school won't. We went out of our way to get everybody together for a day of relaxation and enjoyment. But because of action, stated ;; bove, it was ruined for all. It's a shame some. people can't be mature and responsible when that's all that Tn the F.ditor: On behalf of the Class of 1984 Executive Council, I'd like to we'lc o me the junior class back to another year at Wilkes Colleg e .

When he vetoed an expenditure bill last week he claimed publicly that it was a ''budget buster." This was an outright lie . The bill° was under what Reagan had originally asked for. In addition, Reagan claimed that he never knew ab~ut the jobs for senior citizens program which was con- tained in the bill. However, White House memoranda exist which prove that Reagan was fully - aware that that program was in the vetoed bill. _Even the Republicanco1Hrolled Senate was not willing to go along with the President on this fiasco and Reagan's veto was overriden.

Lay yo ur doubts aside . The exhibit opening in the Sordoni Art Gallery on September 19 , features four Wilkes College graduates, all successful, working artists who have recently exhibited in the gallery. This exhibition is appropriately titled: "Four from Wilkes.'' Mark Cohen , class of 1965, will be showing 12 photographs in the exhibit. Cohen, the recipient of this year's Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Excellence in Photography, has been awarded a ' Guggenheim Fellowship twice , and received a National Endowment fo r the Arts Fellowship in 1,275 . Cohen has had one-man exhibi tions at the Museum of Modern Art; Castelli Graphics, New-York ; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C .; and, recently , Marlborough , New York . Cohen still resides in the WilkesBarre area . He has a studio at 32 West South Street. Most of Cohen 's photographs are of the Wilkes-Barre area. Joe Stallone graduated in 1969. A ceramics sculptor, 'Stallone is thought well of in the ceramics art world. For the exhi'bit, he will build three "site specific" structures of brick, and then dismantle them after the show is over. His exhibit will also include five more con ventional studio pieces. As Stal!QJ1e said, '' My work has been exhibited in over 250 shows through out the world and is represented in numerous private and museum collections in the U.S. I have been involved in several major public art commissions in the Metropolitan New York-area .

He attenred Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School from which he received his medical degree in 1893. After an internship in Philarelphia , he travelled to Heirelburg and Vienna to pursue an advanced study of medicine. In 1896 , he returned to Wilkes-Barre and established a practice . Miner served as the County Medical Director for the State Health Department from 1907 until 1923 . He was then appointed Secretary of Health for the state of Pennsylvania , an office he held for four years. H e was a member of the Luzerne County and Pennsylvania Medical Societies and the American Medical Association. Dr. Miner made his home in the old family house located at 264 South Franklin Street. According to Dean Ralston, the house, which was built in the 186()'s was given to the college by the family and was used as .a residence hall. During the 1970's, the hall was torn down atid the name Miner Hall was given to ® by .Kevin Fagan J he buUding that is now known as De__nison Hall. A few years later, when the YMCA was acquired by the college, th~ name Miner Hall was again relocated. This time , however, Miner Hall appears to have settled in . Although Bedford Hall 'hasn't moved around campus as Miner Hall has, the history and the man it ' s named for is unique in its own right . Built in 1876, Bedford Hall was the home of Attorney George R. Bedford. The building gained its present size and structure from renovations in 1900 and 1928. The hall was acquired by the college in the late 1960' s through the estate 1 of Paul Bedtord. Paul Bedford was born in WilkesBarre on June 24, 1875. He receiv~g a Bachelor of Science regree from Princeton University in 1897. That same year , he entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He .graduated in 1900 and was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar. He specialized in corporative law . Bedford, who was a very active alumnus of Princeton, served as Assistant District Attorney from 1913-1915. He died in 1967. 1 Bedford Hill: Apart of Wilkes for almost twenty years. ''Story Theatre'' Adapts Childr•n 's Tales To Stage ' "Story Theatre," an evening of fable and song based on tales from Aesop and the Brothers Grim'm , will open the 1982-83 Wilkes Col lege Theatre season . · Adapted by· Paul Sills and featur ing music by Bob Dylan and the Beatles, "Story Theatre" will take to the stage of the Dorothy Dickson Center for the Performing Arts October 8. 9 and I 0 . A total of 11 tales , including Henny Penny, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Robber Briregroom and The Golren Goose . will be performed by a cast of l ~ Wilkes College students. "Story Theatre" reveloped out of improv.isational workshops directed by Sills in Chicago during the late 1960's. The play's use of panto- I • mime and innovative staging led to its successful Bradway run in the early 1970' s. At Wilkes , "Story Theatre" is dir~ted by Dr. Michael O'Neill ; the set and light design are by Klaus Holm. Both are members of the Theatre Arts faculty at the College . According to O'Neill, "Story Theatre" is for adults as much as it is for children. "The play is a magical pie-ct· resigned to enchant old and young alike," he said. Citing the play's music and satire, O'Neill added, "The show is full of references and innuendo that are intended for an adult audience." The cast of the play includes: Stephen DiRocco, 'Kimberly L.

He suggests that anyone with a · special medical condition wear a Medic Alert bracelet or necklace. '' Medi c Alert is the most simple an d efficient emergency medical identification and information sys- · tern that can be devised ,'' accordi ng to Todd. Each member of Medic Alert r 1: ceives an annual update on thi·ir wallet card, which serves as a n, . minder for the individual to make changes in the information, if necessary . The Medic Alert bracelet or necklace has engraved on it the member 's identification number, their special medical conditioQ and a 24 hour collect phone number to ical information within a few sec oncl-s. Other important data abo11t the patient , the-flame of the family ph ysician, blood type and insµrance information can also be a part of the member's Medic Alert file, for examrle. ~ ~ , lies.

Though Housing Director Adams stated that he was pleased with the response he receiveed from Dina and Gore when he explained the administration's decision and the options on room selection, students questioned about the decision are disappointed. Sherry Teats, a senior who has lived at Dina since her freshman year, stated that, "Senior year is supposed to be wonderful, and they're taking that away from us . They told us the college operates on a budget of$ 14 million; I don't see how the $15,000 it takes to run this dorm is going to put the school under." Teats also mentioned that when the residents of Dina asked Adams and Ralston about living off -ca mpus in apartments, they were informed that students who wished to move off -campus would have to go before a board and have their case reviewed. The board will decide wh<!ther the student will be allowed out of his orherhousingcontract. D:Jm Cassise and Karl Lindhor.;t both stated that the only reason they returned to Wilkes College was because of their friends at Gore and the positive atmosphere they feel living there. ''Last year, we got Outstanding Male D:Jrm. We went crazy for the school to try and help pull it together, and in return they're closing us down. It doesn't make sense," commented Lindhorst. Men from Gore have decided to take action in an attempt to keep their dorm open until the end of the 1982-83 academic year. Joe Mamorian, resident of Gore for one and a half years, said that the announcement has pulled the dorm toegether. Both he and Lindhorst confirmed that they will attempt to raise the $15,000 it will take to keep the dorm open for one more semester. Ideas for soliciting the funds include ap pealing to the public through the media and requesting donations from alumni who were residents of Gore. With more than 100 · spaces still open after Gore and Dina are closed, ·Adams stated that the administration will be looking into the possibility of being forced to close more of the older dorms on campus . 135. a decrease in students predicted, Paul Adams the actual number was es1imated.

St. John -Stevas is pictured above delivering congratulations to Wilkes from his government. ~ later went on to sp eak about the connection be tween Wilkes and Britain created by John Wilkes, a member of the HJ use of Commons in the 1 700 's and the college's namesake . The convocation was designed to . celebrate the inception of ~ilkes as BucknellJuniorCollege m 1933 and then its establishment as a four-year institution in 1947. The ceremony included a procession of the Wilkes faculty in caps and gowns into the Center for the Performing Arts , a chorale pres.entation by the Wilkes College Chorus and a series of addresses made by people who were notable in the history of the college . Participating in the service were Robert Capin, presiclent of Wilkes; Dr. Dennis O'Brien , president of Bucknell University; Dr. Arthur Brandon, assistant to the president of Bue knell in 19 3 3, who reflected on that university's decision to create a junior college in Wilkes -Barre; and Joseph Salsburg, instructor in Computer Science at the college and member of the fir.it class of Bucknell Junior College . Salsburg read an address written by Dr. Arnard Marts - on the occasion of the transfer of assets precipitating the creation of Wilkes as a fouryear institution. Also present was Helen Pacolla, daughter of Dr. H::imer Rainey, president of Bucknell University in 1933 . Pacolla read a letterfrom her father who is now living in re tire me nt in Te xa s . Following 'the program,a reception was held in the Farley Lounge for those guests officially invited to the convocation. �Page 2, The Beacon, O ctober 1, 1982 College Surveys Itself Research Analyzes Wilkes by Rebecca Whitman · Through a Tttle -3 federal grant, Wilkes College has been ab le to .hire an Institutio nal Researc her who will engineer the building of a data base of research on the school itse If w hich will pe rhaps assist in future administrative decisions . Dr. Eric Watters, Director of Institutional Research, arrived at Wilkes last ~cember, but has only recently be g un the task of building up researc h knowledge for and about the school. ~ states that the first few months of his work at the college were spent ''Meeting people and find ing out what they want and need to know about Wilkes ." ~ re po rts that the first step in this sort of research is to de cide what information is nee de d , if it alre ~.dy exists, and if not, how to go about getting it. Cheryl Scalese, Programmer/ Analyst, is Dr. Walter's assistant a nd is in c h arge of designing programs which store , ·retrieve and / or analyze the da ta compiled. Their researc h will be s tored in the Wilkes Colle ge co mputers ys tern. Dr. Watte rs re p o rts th at one of his first projec ts was to gath er informat io n o n stude n ts who leave Wilkes be fore they co mplete their und ergraduate studies ·; the a dministration did no know in man y c ase s wh y the s tud e nt left o r what he or s he was do ing now . Watters designe d a ques tio n na ire asking these and other questions and it was mailed to students who were freshmen in 1978-79 but never went on to · graduate. Forty -seven percent of those who received the questionnaire responded, a figu re Dr. Watters stated he is pleased with. ~ also said they a re still in the process of analyzing the informa tion they received . · Watters also me ntioned that the sc hool would like to send this sort of a survey out every yea r ,so they could look for reasons for students leaving Wilkes before completing their degrees, and if it is so me tangible reason, perhaps move to correct it. Another major project which is helping to build a school data Qase was the le n_gth y question- Dr. Eric Wattei's n~ire s given to freshmen . during orientatio n this year. Th!S containe d a numbe r of attitude ques tio ns the sc hool was inte rested in. Unfortun ately, Wa tte rs re ports that ma n y of these were not retu rn ed, h owever,he ~ee ls next year's . respo nse will be better. O ne priority for this year's research is an O utcome study. Watters will gather informatio n on what happens to students who go to Wilkes, how their values are effected, how their attitudes are c hanged and many of the tang ible changes in their live s . ''We don't really know all the effects o f college o n students. We don't know what changes they go through . Some things IT?ay n~t show up until they are m thetr 30's "stated Watters. H': is pres ently' working on a questionnaire , liich will investigate these · questioi. The TttiL 3 grant which is fund ing Dr. Watters ' work was orig inally designed for one yea r only ; however, the government recently renewed it for five years. Dr. Watters explained that , under the Tttle -3 g rant , Wilkes has ag re e d to pay a n inc reas ing amo unt o f the cost of the resea rch eac h yea r. 1-i: staled that, though the schoo l will eventually be paying for the entire program, the office of Institutiona l Research will p roba bly be a "perrnnanent fix ture." · Be fo re co ming t0 Wilkes, Dr. Watters was a high s choo l Eng lish instruc tor and then went o n for his doctorate at the Unive rsity of Ke.ntuc ky. 12.

Gerald Wuori, O,an of Admis sions, reports that approximately 1950 full time undertgraduate students enrolled at \\'ilkes for the 1982-83 school year. This is between 80 and 100 students less than last year. Wuori states that the drop in enrollment was predicted several years ago in a report made to the Long Range Planning Committee. ~ did, however, admit that, "We expected a curving drop over a numberofyears and what we got this year was a c Jiff." The number of resident students at Wilkes dropped about 5 percent from 902 to approximately 860. This fact was vividly demonstrated by the ability of Hiusing to easily relocate all the women from Sullivan Hill after the fire there. There were even more e mpty rooms since the new dom1, Founders Hill, was built. Paul Adams, Director of lliusing, states .that the Hlusing O,partment predicted a drop in resident students, but there are more than originally estimated, Wuori explains that the budget for each school year is determined by the Long Range Planning Committee based on the reports they receive, and that the steep enrollment drop affected the school budget. Though this . year's budget was "fouled up"by the lower enrollment, Wuori states it is still "managable." The effect this drop will have on next year's tuition costs has not yet been determined . It is recog nizable that tuition will go up, but lack of enrollment may send it up more than planned. Wuori reports that enrollment in every major was down this year. The most dramatic drop was in the Biology O,partment which lost approximately 40 students. According to Wuori, this is due to the end of the Wilkes Hahnemenn program. Future Of The World Revealed World Future's Professor Dr. Hlward F. Didsbury ~poke last week at the CPA on the peril, and promises that the next few decades may hold for our planet. Didsbury, a Yale and Ameriuu1 University graduate, is Professor of History and Director of the Future Studies Program at Kc-an College,~w Jersey. _ , The professor , an animateu and sometimes eccentric s-pe.1k · er (once allowing a delusion of grandeur and imagining him~elf as the future Lord Didsbury). described futures studies as "the objective inquiry into the a,lterna - tives before· hLimans." The discipline is mainly concerned with forecasting the next 5-15 years. Any period of time beyond rhi, becomes too uncertain to assess, Didsbury said. Dr. Didsbury said he considers himself a "tempered _ optimist," because he sees the future as being maleable to human will, but also detects popular attitudes that may be "positive impediments to action ." First is the "Gee-whiz attitude" toward technology and science. which Didsbury said leads people to become complacent about the problems that surround them and adopt the approach that science "will snatch us back from the brink of the abyss" just in time. The professor termed this "simple -minded optimism." The second attitude threaten ing our future is the 'doom and gloom' resignation that encourages apathy . This is characterized by the belief that we are all goini~ to die anyway, so why bother, Among students, Didsburv sees this manifested in the 'pass the grass and tum up the stereo' reaction to world problems. - When people adopt either of these responses,according to the professor, 'nothing gets done.' �Pa e 4, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 Editor's Corner Volleyball Team Thanks Enthusiastic Fans Co1 To the Editor: I've had it.

They pound my eardrum for a while, and then I suggest they write a letter to the editor. They usually say they will, but they rarely follow through. Why? You tell me . Maybe it is the curse of timidity. Maybe it ' s laziness or illiteracy or writer's block. Or maybe, just maybe, people have no idea how to write to the editor and fear they'll look foolish trying , Here, for them, is everything they ever wanted to know about writing a letter to the editor (*but were afraid to ask) . First, the bas_js;s . In order for a lett er to appear in print, typists and editors must be able to read it. That means · the handwriting must be legible . If yours isn't, you should print or use _a typewriter. You can''t expect us to publish a letter we cannot read . If it' s only a word or phrase we can't quite rriake out, and the letter is otherwise worthwhile , we may have to guess what it means - and P,erhaps distort your meaning . We don't like to g uess , and when in doubt we tr y to co ntact yo u. We need 10 kn o w ho w to . Print or type yo ur na me, address a nd day time ph o ne number wh ere we will eas il y see-it. And yes, we ins ist on printing your name and commu ni ty. (We do n 't print you r st reel address or phone n um ber. ) Sign yo ur letter as ev idence of good fai th . Depend ing on the backlog at I.he time, a lett er may a ppea r a da y o r a mo nth a ft er we ge t it. Most letters do go into print. Which ones don't? Open letters, written to one person but sent to everyone and his brother, don't see print. Nor does poetry . We don't publish personal correspondence such as expressions of gratitude to neighbors and friends. Complaints about business, better handled by an action line, don't run. Neither do profanity-laden letters . Letters of religious interpretation or religious assertion don't see print. Correspondence from candidates for public office, unless in response to criticism -printed in the paper is treated as news, and editors determine whether it deserves to be reported in the regular news columns. What we do like to print is a variety of opinion about public affairs local, regional, national, foreign. And we love to print letters that disagree with our own editorials. There's nothing like a good con!Toversy to stir up readership. So much for the basics. L(,t ' s move oo to the advanced -course .,. Remember you're tr ying to communicate . Do your readers a favor and make your letter easy to read. Don't force people to decipher it . Spell things out: For example , if you refer to a particular a rticle, mention its headline and the da te it was publi shed ; a senten ce summa ri zing the article is a lso helpful. Be clear . Kee p yo ur se nte nces short and to the poi nt. 1f you wan t to impress peop le, impress them with the depth of your knowledge and the elegance of your reason ing, not the length or your sentences and obscurit y of yo ur vocabulary. Expect us to edit for spelling, p unctua tio n , syntax and so forth. Rarely do we receive a grammatically perfect letter. But it' s up to you to get th e facts straight. Never assume anything, always check it. Now for the refinements. Well-written letters share a few qualities , Among them are coherence, documentation and conciseness. Even before you pick up a pen, sit back and thin~ about what you want to say. Ask yourself the questions someone else might ask. What exactly is your point? Does it make sense? What makes you think that way? Where did you gel your facts? Why should anyone else think the way you think? Having thought ii through, turn your attention Lo organmng your letter. Be prepared to confine a single letter to a single topic, and devote yoursel f to it. Don't ramble. Give your letter a beginning, a middle , an end. State your purpose at th e start , then proceed to explain yourself, and fin ally wrap it up . A few ex tra bits of advi ce. Instead of usin g exclama ti on mark s, find powerful ve rbs . Write in th e acti ve vo ice. Gel rid or unnecessary wo rd s. Be as specific as you can. Avoid cliches. Go ah ead and revise what you ha ve; even Hemingwa y spent half hi s tim e revi sing a nd rewritin g. Set as ide yo ur ri,i is hed lett er for a day or two and.c then read it with a fr es h eye, or ask someo ne else to read it and tell yo u what he truly think s. Finally, have th e co urage to spea k o ut. Democracy isn't for th e meek and quiel. 11 thrives on debate and d isagreement. Go ahead and pipe up. Thom as J.

We 'llown the Senate by thirty-five seats Thy men shall go down to many defeats ." Conservatives listened, and they did smile, The Jibe ral faith they me ant to de file. Both sides prepared for the battle to come , The war chests were counted, what a grand sum. J\e arer and nearer drew election tinie, Which of the sides would prove itse Ifs ublime? Reagan's in office, an era's begun, So why's Tip O'Neilspdiling the fun? John Maynard Keynes has been laid to his rest, Who can doubt that supply side is best? And yet the Lib'rals still don't seem to hear That what they believe is still what we fear. Although the people once gave them the sack, Jn eighty-two they think they'll be back. They claini the recession is Reagan's fault, To end it they want to open the vault, They'll tax and they'll spend as they 've always tried, Although this is what the people decried . Later this year a key choice shall be made: Are we courageous or are we afraid; To follow new paths that lead to success, Or follow them back to the liberal mess? (Proper Perspective) By James Watkinson The Senate bill that would have amended the Constitution to outlaw abortions died a merciful death recently . The bill, supported by· President Reagan, was. nurtured and pushed by Senator Jesse Hehns of N>rth Carolina. The women of this country may thank Providence that Hehns who is ·just a bit to the right of the' Ayutollah Khomeini and Jerry Falwell on the political spectrum, lacked the parliamentary skill and friends to get the bill through the Republican-controlled Senate . Hipefully, the issue has hc .,n laid to rest in Congress . (C} L.Taha 1982 Tn1-1r-l vc the co urage icmocracy is n' t a nd quie t. It e and di , ag reeand pipe up .

The result was lucid, the choice was clear . ToourdestinyReaganwouldsteer. ' "We finally found him , so you can stop worrying now. had accidently kicked him up under a table. " The issue,however,has not been laid to rest as far as the general public is concerned -- or so the ~~l Majority, the !'-ew Right, et szmi/ia would have us believe. There were 1.7 million abortions performed in the United States last year. Thus ,as George Will, the right's most intelligent spokesman, said, outlawing abortion in the legislature would be about the same as "trying to outlaw gin." But the Right-to-Lifer groups, and the radical elements therein, continue to push fot prohibitive legislation. • The Right-to-Life lobby is under the inipression that the women who have this operation performtd are cold-blooded murderers who care nothing for human life . These women are simply killers or are manipulated by kil lers . The Right-to -Lifers would have the general public believe that the wome n who take this ste p have no ide a what they are really doing and have had no : ounsc !ling The Right-to-Life org;inizations want the public to believe that abortion clinics are synonomous with I:achaum, Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz and that the doctors performing the operation are money-grubbers who enjoy their work and the money that it brings . Women who become pregnant and wish to terminate the pregnancy are given extensive counseling regarding both the nature and consequences of the opera tion.There is usually at least a 24 hour waiting period before the operation may be performed . This counters two essential grievanci>s of the Right-to -Life groups. The more radical of these groups stations people outside abortion clinics and attempts -to '.'counsel" wom~n who are going m. The counseling often consists of statements such as, "You know that you're murdering an innocent human being! Think of the baby you 're killing!" This amounts only to severe psycho logical and emotional harassment. Ix> Right-tc;i -Life groups have any idea of the soul searching and trauma that women must go through before they even ap proach the door of a clinic? They do not know -- and presumably do not care . After a woman has had the operation, counseling is given regarding birth control. Planned Parenthood and the doctors who perform the operations do not want to endure the mental and physical stress once more. Pro Lifers do not believe this. They are under the impression that women who avail themselves of th$ option simply run out, ge t pregnant ~ediately, and re turn to get ''fixe d" again. In short, the Ri~ht-to-Life groups, while profe ssmg a great deal of compassion, really have none and certainly have no respect for the ordeal that these women endure . The most important thing, though, is that these groups do not ac cept, refuse to respect, a wo man's right to make a choice. This column could go into facts and figures which would prove the cost-effectiveness of funded abortions. h could go into descnptJ.ons of what the women of this country would have to look· forward to if this type of repres sive legislation were to ever pass. That is not the issue here . The is_s ue is simple dignity, comp_as s10n, and freedom of choice. The women of this country deserve all three . The Supreme Court recognized that. Let us le ave it at that. �Pa e 6, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 From Life In Barre OLi .,; by Rebecca Whitman The cast of Story Theatre is rehearsinga scene from the upcoming production.

This request sparked a dis agreement in terms between members of SG. Ralph J?ringle, Student Government vice president and also a member of the Student Center Board, informed · the other SG members that it- is Student Center policy that an $80.00 deposit be put down by an organization having a party in the Student Center . Jo Ann. Magers noted that this . $80.00 deposit was •.not mentioned to SG before or during the party and had not been paid.

A.lams also asked students to avoid "excessive parking"in the · driveway alongside Gore Hall. 1-E stated that though parking there is not illegal, too many cars in that area will make it difficult for emergency vehicles to get through. Bill Lourie, re porting for the Student Center Board announced that at the SG sponsored "Flood" party held recently at the Student Center, the building's stereo equalizer was damaged. 1-E reported that the Student Center Board had decided to ask S G to pay for half the repair costs , and that a stricter policy toward the use of Student Center equipment is being discussed. Because of difficulties at the Duplicating Office, Shelly Urban, homecoming committee chairman, stated that she was unahle to get the necessary forms for those people who plan on creating dis plays or floats for this year's H:>mecoming.

When questioned by D:in \Volfrom , representing Senior Class President Greg Marshall, as to why an election is held for positions which are unopposed, Pringle stated that it is a formality in the consitution of SG that an election must be held.

Experts to Create a Fine Design Line NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY �Pa e 10, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 Tennis Team Suffers Losing Week by Ellen Van Riper Since opening the season with an ace over cross-town rival King 's College , the Lady Colonels have been serving-up nothing but faults . Two weeks ago the ladies lost to Scranton , and last week they dropped games to Lock Haven , Upsala, and Man,field. The current overall record is 1-4. After a 9-0 blanking at the hands of Lock Haven , the Lady Colonels hosted Upsala College on Sept. 24. Neither team had a complete roster, and Upsala narrowly edged Wilkes 4-3. Freshman Jennifer Briscoe started the ladies off on the right track by defeating her Lady Viking opponent in straight games 6-3 and 6-2. In the second singles match Wilkes's Trish Palys went down in two games 6-3 and 7-5 to even the overall team scores at 1- 1. The third and fourth singles matches went to Lady Colonels Jackie Brown and Annette Winski. Brown came back after a disasterous opening game loss (1-6) to take the next two by scores of 6-3 and 6-4 . Winski had an easier time of it as she only needed two games to thwart her opponent. The scores were 6-4 and 6-2. The fifth singles match went to Upsala by default. All in all the ladies did well in these singles matches . In the games that were actually played they had a 3-1 edge. Unfortunately, the doubles competition did not go as well. There were two matches, and both went to three games. Wilkes came up empty both times. The team of Briscoe and Palys was defeated 6-1, 6- 7, and 6- 3. The duo of Brown and Winski started off well, but could not keep it up . The scores were 2-6, 7-5 , and 6-3 . On Sept. 27 the Lady Cofonels hosted Mansfield State and were soundly defeated 8-1. The lone victory for Wilkes came in the doubles competition. In the first match the .tandem of Cress Shallers and Jennifer Briscoe defeated their Mansfield opponents 7-5 and 6-4. In the singles competition Shallers was defeated 6-2 and 6-1 , and Briscoe lost a tough and frustrating match 7-6 , 0-6, and 6-4 . The other matches saw Trish Palys also lose a heartbreaker0-6, 6-2 , and 6-4. Jackie Brown was downed in straight games 7-6 and 6-4 as was Annette Winski 6-0 and 6-2. The final singles match was a three-game affair. After battling to a 5-7 first game wi'n, Natalie Sodano could not hang-on. She lost the final two by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. In the other doubles games the team of Brown and Palys was downed 6-0 and 6-1, and the duo of Winski and Sodano was defeated 62, and 6-0 .

Th e underdogs came thrvugh, though , in a 2 -2 tie . Play moderated between the two 25 yard lines for the first half , while Karen Johnson and Linda Dayer, on defense, stopped any mo unted attack that Buckne ll trie d. From the o pening push-bac k of the sec o nd half, the game was all Wilke s '. Sophomore Jean lliughe rty c ame off the bench to fill in the left wing position and seemed to add that extra punch that Wilke s needed in order to pressure Buc knell's defense. Then , five minutes into the sec o nd half , after an e nergizing serie s of shots on goal, Wilkes scored on a penalty comer. Freshman Sue Strenke rt sent a perfect drive to Diane Hill to put Wilkes up 1 -0 . Fifte en minutes later, Buc kn e ll s core d on a penalty stroke after bre aking thro ugh the Wilkes de fense. Tracey Ke lley made a quic k e ffo rt to pre ve nt a goal whic h , res ulte d in a pe nalty s tro ke when the ball bee ame trap ped in the goalie's pads. Wilkes was in trouble whe n Buc kn ell scored their second goal with o nly six minutes left to play. lliwn 2-1, the tension-fille d atmosphe re fire d up. Wilkes as Sue Strenkert put a shot to the center of the circle and J ean Doug herty finished off the goa l. The Lady Colone ls kept the rus h on until the final seconds of pla y, but had to se ttle fo r a 2-2 tie. Wilkes was h igh after the ir_2- 2 tie with Bue kne II, and l:ias t Stroudsburg was fired up to win, co ming from a 4-1 beating at the hands · o f Eliza bethtown . · In the end, though , both teams compromised to a 2 -2 tie last Thurs day afternoon, even th o ugh Wilke s o utshot ESSC 18-10. Poor stick s kills, lack of sup port and a ge nera l sloppiness characterized the Lady Colonel 's first half. East Stroudsburg's quick cutting and ac c urate passing put them ahead 1-0 by the end of the half. Wilkes came out rejuvenated for the se c ond half. Altho ugh ESSC sc o red their second goal five minutes into the second half , Wilkes used the remaining 3 0 minutes to come bac k. The forward line , led by co -c aptain Diane Hill and Senior Michelle Weiss, began to take c harge , beating Stroudsburg to the ball and offensively penetrating theircircle. With 1 5 minutes to go in the second half , Sue Strenke rt broke down the right side of the field to feed the ball to a waiting ~bbie Come ta, who put Wilke s on the s c o reboard . Wilkes ke pt the pre ss ure on with more shots and pe nalty c o mers , but it was ESSC . who broke through to press ure the Wilkes defe nse. Fres hman Allis on Tillitso n , who had be e n put in the ga me to tig hte n the left de fe nsive pos itio ns,snuffed ESSC 's wing's shots several times. Then. the Lady Co lonels challenged again. This time, it was Sue Strenke rt again to Diane Hill. and Wilkes tied the score 2-2. It was a real co meback for Wilkes who never let ESSC c hallenge them the rest o f the ga me.

This past week they raised their overall record to 5-1. The big win was over the Scranton Royals . It was the first time that the spikers had ever defeated Scranton. Also, the game against Scranton was MAC Northeastern Division game, so the victory gave the Lady Colonels a 1-0 headstart in the division. The other divisional teams yet to be played are King's, FDU-Madison, and Upsala. On Sept. 21 the Lady Colonels hosted the Scranton Royals. Scranton was in for a big surprise. The Lady Colonels had everything going their way in the first game as they won 15-8 . In the second game the Royals came back with a score of 156. The match was like a see-saw going back and forth. Wilkes went on to take the third game 15-10, and Scranton won the fourth 15-5 . The match came down to the very last game. It was close all the way, but Wilkes had the unity that it takes to win and proved so in a score of 15-13. The Lady Colonels had defeated long-time rival Scranton for the first time in volleyball. Wilkes was getting good sets from freshman Teresa Miller and junior co-captain Debbie Kramer, so all four hitters were used effectively. Leading the way in spiking were senior Cathy Lee and sophomore Jennifer Golding with 12 apiece. Rounding out the rest of the figures were -junior Sally Fisher with ten and senior co-captain Ellen Van Riper with seven. As a total Wilkes had 47 kills as compared to Scranton's 32. Leading the way with service aces were Debbie Kramer with seven. Adding to that were Cathy Lee and Jennifer Golding with six apiece . As a total of service aces, Wilkes had 29, and the Royals had 24.Just by look: ing at the totals one can tell that it was a tight-pressured game with many good defensive plays as well as offensive. Last Friday Wilkes traveled down to Albright College in Reading to play a tri-match with Su ,yuehanna University and Albright. In a trimatch all of the teams play each other with the match decided on a best of three basis. Wilkes handled Susquehanna easily. They defeated them in two of the three games. Scores were 15 -0 Wilkes, 10-15 Susquehanna, and 15-7 Wilkes. Leading the way for Wilkes in spiking was Cathy Lee with nine, and Ellen Van Riper and Jennifer Golding with five apiece . Jennifer also lead in service aces with 12. In the other game against Albright, Wilkes had its problems. Albright won the first two games to take the match. It was the first loss of the season. The scores were 15-9 and 15-5. Jennifer Golding lead the team with four kills and three service aces. The last game of the week was against Marywood College. The match was played here last Sunday. The Lady Colonels had very little problem in handling Marywood. Wilkes swept three games with scoresof15-7, 15-4, and 15-9 . Marywood was ahead in the third game, but with a time-out, the Lady Colonels got a chance to settle down and came back to win the game and the match. Leading the way in hitting was Debbie Kramer with five and Ellen Van Riper with four. In service aces it was Teresa Miller with 13 andJennifer Golding with eight . The overall record for the volleyball team is 5-1 and 1-0 in the MAC Northeastern Division . The highlight of the week was the big win over Scranton. If Wilkes defeats the other three MAC teams in their division, they will have another chart)~ion of the MAC Northeastern Division .

Running at Kirby , the Colonels garnered the top five spots with Dive Levandoski,George Hoc ken· bury, and Tom McGuire all cross - ing the finish line with identical winning times of 27 :18. The overall season record now stands at 4-2. The distaff half of the team also had a good outing. Even though the ladies lost 24 -32, Coach Bel· lairs was very impressed with their performance . ON YOUR MARK. GET SET. GO!! The Colonels are off and running in their meet last Saturday against Lycom,ng . The Wilkes runners completely out-classed their opponents as they captured the top five places. David Levandoski, George Hockenbury, and Tom McGuire all crossed the finish line with identical winning times. (PHOTO BY SANDI BARTELS) Coming off last weekend's disappointing meet, the Colonels had some thing to prove to both themse Ives and their fans. Last week's Beacon article was not very favorable, and Coach Bellairs believes that this pro · vided his team with added incen· tive for an impressive performance. Bellairs further stated that real athletes respond to pressure,and he was proud to say that his runners did just that. He commented that he could see the determina · tion in the face of Tom McGuire. As if jet propelled, the trio of Le van dos ki, Hoc ken bury and M::Guire virtually sprinted to · a first mile time of approximately 4 :50. This unbelievable pace separated them from the rest of the pack, and they easily coast· ed to victory. Finishing behind the winners in the fourth and fifth spots respectively were Joe Dill and Greg Quinn. Dill recorded a time of 28 :54, and Quinn was clocked at29:07. Othe'r finishers for Wilkes were Owen and lVIark Murphy . Owen came in eighth with a time of 30 :4 5, and lVIark finished tenth at 32 :33. Missing from the meet was Chuck I-hrris who had an in· jury. BACK SET FOR A WINNER. Freshman setter Teresa Miller surprised 1 Lady Royals of.Scranton with this one. Instead of setting the ball to one of hitters, she deftly placed it over the net right in the middle of the Scram team for a Lady Colonel point. This was only one of many fine plays whi occurred during the Lady Colonels' first ever triumph over Scranton. Bellairs was pleased with the performances of all his runners, but he made special mention of Levandoski and McGuire . He felt that Thvid was now coming into his own and running up to his po tential, and that Tom had run his best meet of the season,so far. Be llairs · had only one thing to lament about. "If we had run the way we did against Lycoming, we would have beaten King's last weekend." A comparison of the times from the two meets proves this out. Inconsistency by the team is one of those eternal frustrations of the coaching profes· sion . . . The men 's victory was nice, of course, but as far as excitement goes, it was rather boring from a spectator's point of view . According to Bellairs, the real excitement of the day was the women's race. Running without their top runner Ann Hartemen and with anoth er top runner Lynn Roberts nurs · sing a sore foot, the ladies seem· ed to have had a long day a of them. Well, here's to adv ity. Somehow it seems too out the best in people . The Colonels were no exception. The rest of the team , lei senior Leslie Schoenstein finished se.cond -overall w· time of 2 3 :3 2, almost pul off. According to Bellairs , j Staple ton ran an excellent and provided a big lift by f ing fourth at 24 :12 . She was lowed by Michelle ~rstac number se\ten with a time 25 :06, an ailing Lynn Ro eighth at 25 :24, and by j Skibicki who finished eleven 26 :54. Bellairs stated that he beli that the ladies could have w the team had been both intact healthy. On October 30 there wi a second meet with Lyco Both Be llairs and the ladies eagerly looking forward to rematch. tudent HQJJ esiden side: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Marge LeBlanc, President of IRHC , mentioned at October 3 IRf IC meeting that she felt the hall pres idents were not interested enough in creating a ·constitution from which they could work and that there is a lack of enthusiasm for working toward making the council a viable organization on campus. The idea for a hall president's council was generated during the l 981 -1982 school year by the then IRHC president, Bill Lourie. It was originally designed· as an organization in which hall presidents could share ideas for fund raisers, organize mutual dorm functions, give one another ideas for dorm activities and attention, and he stated that "the council had to take a backseat.'' A constitution was never completed. Another problem which presented itself was the change in leadership within the council. Lourie reported that Leigh · Majors was chosen as an RA midway through the academic year, and Bob Bruggeworth stepped into the position of director of the council. Bruggeworth was then chosen as an RA for the 1982-1983 school year. LeBlanc reported that the next director was not elected by the presidents. At the beginning of this semestei:, IRHC set out to recognize the Hall Presidents' Council. Le Blanc stated at an early IRHC meeting that it lacked efficiency and the ability to make decisions, and that the first thing on the agenda for the council would be the drafting of a constitution. Since that time 1 the first meet- perhap~ set up brother and sister in,11 o f the co unc il was held and halls. The, e are activities IRHC doesn't have the time to control. It was decided the council should create a constitution from which it would work. However, as the year progressed, other more pressing issues. were brought to Lourie's though LeBla_n c reported that the turn-out was good, she also stated that the attitude , which prevailed was that the presidents are not willing to take on the responsibility necessary to make the organization ►ctober 30 the nd meet with L ~ llairs and the looking forwa l. ter ot Celia Hyde qf West Qrang~.

The committee is working with both to raise funds for specific causes within the organizations. · A fund raiser for the American Diabetes Association will coincide with Diabetic Month in Novemher. The purpose will be to raise mci'ney to help send diabetic children to camp. The committee hopes to involve some of the children from the association in the fund raising activity , as well as , students from Wilkes College. One objective the committee is working to achieve benefits students by Nadine Wieder A new committee has recently been added to the Student Government of Wilkes College. This committee, known a,s the Community Committee, came into existence this past summer. The committee is designed to bring the community closer to the college , each providing help, in some way, to the other. At the present time , the Community Committee is trying to set some basic goals or objectives for itself. They are also trying to expand on the ideas already generated on ways to bring Wilkes closer to the community. Rickard noted a definite trend toward stiffer campus sanctions , in part because of increased violations. " It 's also part of a general conservative swing in the general population," he said. " People are more concerned with safety and the increase in crime. Colleges aren't immune to that t rend.'' In addition to imposing stiffer penalties, colleges are starting to simplify their jidicial · processes, the study incicates .

According to Dr. Shaw, if the Annex closes, the Art Department will need to re-schedule classes. "They' re not happy about losing it (the Annex) but they recognize that we don't have much choice," Dr. Shaw said. "We have to get maximum use of the money, so they'll make use of their accomodations (in SLC).'' He added that the Art Department has been cooperative, even though they' re not happy. . "We're all working togethetto come up with a meaningful solution," he stated. Dr. Shaw explained that the demolition of Conyngham Annex has been part of the long-range plans at Wilkes. If the proposal is passed and the building is razed, the Physical Facilities Committee will look at the most '' appropriate use' ' for the space. Dr. Shaw said one possibility for the space is to expand the parking facilities on campus . Another building on the Wilkes campus may be closed in the near future, due to high operating costs.

Student Government President Elaine Kerchusky pointed out that a lower ticket price would make it easier on everyone because the dance is a formal and men will have to rent tuxedos. It was suggested that the Execu tive Council create an itemized budget which will approxima t e what IRHC will be doing this year and how much money it plans to spend on each activity. This could be passed out at the next meeting and then representatives could decide how much should be given for the formal. The IRHC budget for the year is$ 7,000. The gen eral consensus agreed with this idea and voting on the matter was left until next week. -~--~---------------~-----------1 Gym Party: sirvspt1's plscs Make buying a gift as..much fun as receiving one.

Home : "the abiding place of the affections, '' says Webster, ' 'a place of refuge and rest . '' Coupled with a certain verb form the noun becomes a word of ineffable charm: homecoming." Pronounce it slowly, swallow the cavernous hollows of its three resonant syllables , hear the calming "Ohm" chant of the ancients at its very core. Homecoming. Ironically, the almost mystical word has become associated with the rituals of academia, performed year after year with the reverent observation usually reserved for saints' holidays. Each year, we of the reserved, erudite university community parade through the streets waving our clan colors and crested banners; as if heirs to the pagentry of Camelot, we proudly march down the paved roadways to the sho11ts of trumpets, and we nod benevolently to the populace that cheers us on. And while the rarly morning is reserved for spectacle, the afternoon is spent in games. We send our ''warrioi:s'' upon a mock ?attlefield to wage war with a mock enemy, to uphold an ideal, a code, a name - all of it fiction, all of it fantasy. We crown a king and a queen, a lord and lady of the dream, and at night, we revel in the freedom of the dance, our kinship once again declared , our loyalty to the institution affirmed, our place in the home intact. And yet, though the dream is, as are-all dreams, fantasy, the homecoming is very real. The lacuna between fact and fiction is, for a time , bridged , and the spectacle and games foster a spirit of fellowship and camaraderie in spectators and participants that is valuable even because it is rarely so openly expressed . The fine-drawn lines of conflict, where they exist between campus factions or individuals, for a time become nebulous and surmountable in the glow of the dream; there is little room for trepidation or anomosity in the College's open-armed embrace. For a time, indeed, "we are such stuff as dreams are made on.'' For Wilkes College, this year's Homecoming will be unique. It will be a time for students and faculty alike to quietly reflect on the achievements of the many men and women who through fifty years have dedicated themselves to giving life and nourishment to the College we now celebrate. It is a time for assessment and evaluation a time to plan for the future so that the College, and all the dreams it embodies, may continue and thrive and it will be a proud time for the College, a time when faculty, admi~istration, and students can look on a history of conflicts and setbacks, triumphs and innovations, and be proud to be coming home again. To all members of the administration, faculty, and student body, The Beacon wishes a truly "fantastic" Homecoming. Alumna Disputes 'Debutante' Concept To the Editor: I have read with interest many of your articles in past issues of The Beacon . l like your approach. as it often agrees with mine. But I found "Editor's Corner" of September 17 a different matter. In particular, I was put off by the phrase '' ... the way a Swarthmore debutante would hold an off-the-rack blouse ....:... with obvious distaste.'' The women at Swarthmore have been called many things - intel · lectuals, eggheads , ,grind~ and many less flatter.ing names. But I would have thought that the concept of "dehutantP" had faded away at about the time Clark Gable left the silver screen . If we admit for argument's sake the existence of a :::.warthmore deb utante. her reaction to the purcha~e of. an "off-the-rack blouse" would not be distaste. Rather, she would be pleased to · have bought her clothes at a bargain so that she could use the saving ... perhaps to augment her library.

For the fir st time in its histor y, our greatest neighbor to the north, Canada , in its new con st it ut ion , guarantees freedom of the press to all its people. Thi s freedom belongs to all the people in both countries - from the largest daily to the smalles t weekly, urban, suburban, rural, it makes no difference.

Geo rge J . Measer P resi dent Na tion a l Newspa per Associat ion Abortion Issue Won't Go Away To the Editor: It will be interesting to read side by side the columns " Conservative Comment' ' and ' ' Proper Perspective ." Ahout the first I shall only say that I hope the authors do not spend all their time trying to be snide and cute. By that I can only be embarrassed . By the liberal col umn, however , I doubt not that I shall be often horrified. Such was the case today as I read Mr. Watkinson' s comments on abortion. This issue will not go away, despite his fond hopes. His calling pro-hfe people nasty names will not help his case, either. He cannot get around the fact that abortion is certainly the premeditated, deliberate killing of an innocent human being. To make a comparison : The liberals profess such a respect for life that many of them want to take away the guns of law abiding citizens to prevent potential killings by accident or in moments of passion. Yet they condone, yes, they even want our tax money to pay for, near! y two million actual , premeditated killings a year. Such is their respect for life. Consistent, isn't it? Mr. Watkinson defeats his own argument in his zeal to prove how much anguish and soul-searching an a__bortion brings about. He admits it is a difficult decision for a woman to make and that the doctors who do the job don ' t want to do it again (one wonders why in that case they don't just quit). Such a pleasant experience it must be for both. f guess it can't be wrong if it feels so right. Mr. Watkinson accuses the prolife people of lacking compassion and even of "harrassing " women who don ' t want to have abortions. W e do not respect women ' s rights , he says. I wonder who has compassion on the millions who have been slaughtered merely for being unwanted . Many of these innocents have been women. Yet the killing continues . So much for women's rights. Liberals have a lapel button which reads , " The Moral M ajority B neither. " M aybe we need a simil~ button about ''Proper Perspect· ive ."

The participants car-pooled in a caravan to Camp Kresge, in White Haven, Pa . at approxiamtely 10 a.m. Dr. Les Turoczi , chairman of the Biology Department . gave into· ductory remarks as well as a format for the day . Groups were formed and the "brain-storming" tech nique introduced. The body then recessed for a delicious lunch . Afterwards, four groups went through a well-planned series of activities in cluding snake hunts, botany walks. volleyb.all games, and the all important "bull session." In the session. the students in each group utilized the previously practice "hrainstorming" technique to compose a list of issues or problems within the departmental curriculum that room for improvement.

Well, one out of two isn ' t bad. You see, high interest rates are the primary culprit, while Reagan's fault is negligible. Interest rates were _at 21 percent the day Ronald Reagan took office. Businesses borrowing at that time were fo rced to agree to this ridiculous rate. Now , a year or so down the road, the payments on th~e loans are coming due, and busmesses are finding it impossible to pay back what they owe plus 21 percent interest.

But, as we know, there are other nations where the free flow of news is thwarted by governments fearful of letting people know the truth. In those countries, where censorship is a means of containing thought and action, newspapers are controlled by the government, and it follows that all human freedoms are limited. . . During Nati~nal Newspaper Week, I join with my fell~w Ame:icans in celebrating our free press and in paying tribute to the responsible men and_wom7n of the newspaper industry whose dedication and commitment to independent and truthfu~ news reporting and analysis are the fou~dation of our continued progress as a nation. n~~ © nprovement. ,s were compiled 1e faculty.

In . fact , he has brought interest rates down to 13 percent, and the rates should fall even lower due to the low inflation rate. This is a :-iecessary prerequisite for recovery . Summarizing the other econom ic statistics, it appears the president isn ' t doing all that badly. Real individual purchasing power is up for the first time in a long time , the Gross National Product is expected to rise at a better than three percent rate during the fourth quarter and for next year, and Jimmy Carter's famed "Index of Misery" is down from 20 percent to 15 percent, a decrease of 25 percent in less than two years. All this information tends to make one skeptical of the prophets of economic doom, who blame Reagan with everything from unemployment · to the higher rate of intentional walks in Major League baseball. Besides, what real alternatives do the Democrats have to the Reagan program? They don't have any. Perhaps , they can blame that on Ronald Reagan too .

Taha 1982 Proper Perspective by James Watkinson The current administration recently decided that it was time to crack down on the scofflaws who have been refusing, and continue to refuse to register with the Selective Service. This is especially ironic in ligh_t of the fact that Ronald Reagan, durmg the 1980 campaign, stated that he felt that there was no need for registration. It would appear, then, that the administration has done a 180 degree turn on an issue · that ostensibly helped to put it into power. Th.e fact that, with the current diaster in the economy, enlist· men_t and reenlistment rates are up as high as 11 7 percent in some areas does_ n?t s~m to be able to sway this admm1strat1on from its blatantly militaristic course . The convictions came after the Justice Department decided that there were just too many men refusing t? register. In short, they were bemg made fools of and this administration does not take kinclly to these sorts of expression of individualism and civil liberty. Both of the plantiffs in these re· cent cases stated that they had refused to register on religious groundstheir religious convictions would WCLH B&AClub Commends New Members Joins Fraterniy WCLH has just completed its first testing session .

Unfortunately, the courts decided that a person's religious beliefs cannot - preclude their registering with the Selective service . This would seem to be at odds with both the Constitution and the "conscientious objector" status laws, but that did not bother the judges involved, or the administration. The government seems to have forgotten the lessons of Vietnam. They seem to have forgotten what can occur when the population at large does not support public policy.

We do not need registration and we certainly do not need tospenJvast sums of money prosecuting those, .vho because of their religious beliefs, refuse to register. It can only lead to civil disobedience on a grand scale and Justice Department expenditures on an equal scale. Our politicians have been stating for quite a few years that we are at parity with the Soviets. They recently have unveiled the Rapid Deployment Force as the cure-all for limited response situations. In short, except at budget time, the body politic within this country seems to feel quite good about our military capabilities - both to initi· ate conflict and to respond. Why then does the administration insist upon following this fiscally foolish and morally reprehensible path?

They've become part of the American way of life. Each weekday, tens of millions of Americans of all ages sit in front of their televisions, eyes. glued to the screen, waiting impatiently to find out who sabotaged whose plan, who kidnapped whom, who is having whose baby, who's divorcing whom to marry whose ex ... Soaps have become big business. They've gone from being obscure, ,low-budget productions to multimillion dollar enterprises whose star characters have adorned th~ covers of virtually every major magazine. Accomranying the increase in popularity o daytime serials is an increase in the amount of criticism they and their viewers receive. Many believe continual, heavy viewing of soaps adversely affect the viewer, causing him or her .to become introverted or live in a fantasy world.'' According to a recent survey conducted by the ABC Social Research Unit, just the opposite is true. The survey, which was conducted · at 11 major universities throughout the country and involved some 1,023 students, found that those who watch soaps at least three times a week are "generally successful and active young adults.'' · In fact, few people realize the ad- ◄H vantages of watching soaps . First , they serve to bring people together socially. It is not unusual to find & group of people sitting around the television on any given weekday afternoon enjoying their favorite serial, especially in the residence halls. Sixty-eight percent of the students surveyed by ABC reported viewing soaps in groups of up to six people. A few Wilkes' students also report being unable to find a place to sit in the lounge when Gen eral Hospital comes on. Soaps also provide good exercise for the memory. Most of the storylines get extremely complicated and keeping all the subplots separate involves quite a bit of memory work. There is also the challenge, for long time viewers, of remembering events that occurred years ago in a particular serial and establishing the significance they have on what is currently happening on that show. If nothmg else, soaps provick an exceUent source of conversation. Depending on one's view of soaps, topics of conversation may range from what is wrong with the soaps to how they are demoralizing society to speculation as to where the present storyline will lead . For those of you who may be interested in discovering the fine art of soap watching, here are a few tips : Start with just one serial. As you advance, you may wish to expand your viewing to include two or ◄► MM more soaps, but don't take on more than you can handle in the beginning. Work up to it gradually. Gather as much background material as you can on the serial you are interested in. You 'II find that talking to a person who is already an avid viewer of the soap will reduce the confusion that most new viewers encounter. Watch with a group of people, preferably experienced viewers, who will be able to answer any questions you·may have regarding any of the characters, subplots, etc. Be sure to have anything you may need during the program (munchies, pencils, paper, ets.) within your reach. Getting up to run to kitchen or to hunt for a pencil during the show will disrupt your concentration. If you follow these guidelines, you you should have little, if any, trouble in watching soaps. Happy viewing! Do you watch soaps? Let us know. Tell us which soap(s) you watch, how many times a week you view it, and if you watch it alone or with a group of people. Drop yo ur reply in the Beacon Box or drop by the Beacon office in Parrish Hall. Well , here it is, Part II in the continuing saqa of ''Life in Founders Hall " (or 'Life in the Fast Lane," as the case may be). When we last left our heroine (that's me), she was trying to deal with a dorm full of lertovers from a Frankie and Annette film, Lake Erie-brand tap water and putty that sticks to walls the way oil gets along with water. I may as well point out at the start of this article that I'm risking my life in the name of journalism (though it may be as yellow as our water). The reaction I got within my hall to the first half of this narrative varied from pleased to lynchmob. Some of the little freshmen requested that I mention that they will be donning shorter shorts as the semester goes on (don't ask me why ; well, I guess I know why, but I'd rather not discuss it). Others registered their displeasure quietly by kicking me in the shins or spitting at me (they're a crude, crude group of women), while one of the more athletic little bombshells made her feelings clear by rebounding me off the wall numerous times (I lost count when I blacked out). However, I'm no quitter, and at the risk of another concussion, I'm forging ahead in my effort to reveal sordid truth about ''life in the new dorm'' (sinister music plays softly in the background). One big thing I neglected to mention last time was the fact that this is a co-ed zoo, like Noah's Ark . Yes, right down the hall and through the TV lounge there are men . .. BIG DEAL. I saw more guys when I lived at Barre! You know what living in a co-ed dorm means? It means you can't go to the soda machine in your jammies, even at 2 : 30 in the morning. It means there's sports on the TV constantly. Did you know you can find SPORTS on a television 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Do you know whaf it's like trying to sleep when you can hear Howard Cosell and Dandy Don giving playby-play · of last week's college games? You know what else fascinates me? The idea that men need basketball courts. Obviously the college administration thinks so; they gave up valuable parking behind the Student Center top a basketball hoop. At Wil men get basketball hoops , women get pianos.

Hollenback Hall , the women's residence hall located at 192 South Fran kl in Street , was built in 1916 for Miss Anna Welles Hollenback . The hall is named for her father, John Welles Hollenback , a businessman. The college acquired the hall in 1954. According to Harvey and Smith's History of Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley, John W. Hollenback was born on March 15. 1827 in Pennsylvania's Bradford He came to Wilkes-Barre in and soon became promin many organizations. He member of the city council ved on the boards of many ies including the Metropoli Insurance Company and Title anty and Insurance Com Scranton.

Finpve up; throwing my book on· the floor in disgust, I hopp~d un der a cold wnwn for 20 minutes and went ot bed. The noise problem doesn't end there though. For some odd reason, last year during room selection my roommate and I decided that we would take a room facing the parking lot, and thereby, g~t less noise than if we were facing the street. . . silly us! Oh, we don't get your "average" street noise, I admit that. We get eight guys packed into a small car driving around and around the parking lot at 1: 30 a.m. waving to us as the car stereo blares Van Halen's "Happy Trails To You," and the residents of Founders Hall throw every movable object they can get their hands on out the windows and shout suggestions for what they can do with their tape. We get men who need to play basketball at 2 a.m. We get ~ople who think its cool to sit on their cars and play AC/DC so lound that our posters vibrate off our walls. We get drunks who think their friends live in our-dorm, but aren't sure where, so they stand in the middle of the parking lot and scream for them for 20 minutes. I am confident, however, that all of this will end soon; my roommate and I have gathered up the last of our pennies and chipped in for a highpower sniper rifle with an infrared scope. Allowing six to eight weeks for delivery, and one or two more for free lessons, I estimate the noise level at Founders should drop dramatically a week or two before finals. Well,' I think I've touched on everything I wanted to mention about life in Founders. You may hear from me again as my fellow dormies seem very willing to provide me with fresh material. (One girl has started wearing ponytails on the front of her head. We'll have to see where that leads). For anyone who wants to come over and experience all that I've spoken of, and much, much more, my roommate and I are now organizing our first expedition, cost is $5.00.

He was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar in the fall of 1913 and eventually became a member of the law firm of Bedford, Jones, McGuigan and Waller. Waller was active in many local business and civic organizations. He was a director of th~ Union Savings Bank and Trust Company, and a member of the Luzerne and Pennsylvania State Bar Associations, the Delta Kappa Epislon Fraternity and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, just to name a few. In 1965, he was appoin_ted chairman of the board of trustees of Wilkes College. by Jill Whitehead "Letterwomen of the world, unite!" is the battlecry heard from our female athletes. The Letterwom"fl 's Club's 20th Anniversary coinci Jes with Wilkes' 50th, and while •1 ~y don't really want to step up and steal any of the limelight from the college, they are ready to stand up and be counted. Forty strong and amazingly active, today's Letterwomen's Club has good reason to celebrate. They have come a long way in the past 20 years. On March 12, 1963, the first meeting of the Wilkes College Women's Lettermen's Club was held. Not only is that title an awkward mouthful, but it also gives a good idea of how important women's athletics were in 1963. They were "allowed" to work the football concession stand at the time, splitting profits 60-40 with the Lettermen. Guess who got the larger split? Between the concession stand, baking cookies and shining shoes, they were able to come up with a scholarship which grew from $ 100 to its present amount, a total of $600 ($300 from the Letterwomen and $300 from Wilkes) for the year. Another scholarship was set up in memory of Correen Santoro, a Letterwoman who died of cancer in 19 76. A basketball tournament is sponsored each year by the Letterwomen in memory of Correen, who was a junior at the college. Rose Ann Hallet Williams, '65, first president of the Letterwomen 's Club, is chairperson of the 20th Anniversary, and also of Homecoming events. The 1982-83 Letterwomen's Club is working hard to get their alumni involved in Homecoming and other events throughout the year. Their Homecoming float's theme will celebrate their anniversary as well, and will stand as a way of announcing to the world at large that the Letterwomen of Wilkes campus are united, strong, and highly motivated. Homecom ing weekend will be replete with alumni matches and games - activities designed to encourage participation, not to mention the opportunity to get vocal and celebrate together. There are five varsity sports for women, as well as coeducational programs in swimming, crosscountry, and golf. The women's teams lack support at their games due to the generalized apathy regarding anything here at Wilkes, but the ladies have sought to fill the gap by being, as Letterwomen 's President Stacy Keeley said, "Super -sup po rt i ve of each other's teams.'' Stacy also said that she sees the Letterwomen 's Club as being a ''tightly knit group, who work. together as friends as well as team members.'' The Letterwomen 's Club does stress mutual support and responsibility. towards the club. Every junior in the ch1b is expected to chair a com~ittee. Advisor Doris Saracino said this '' gets them ready for life," as "they're all expected to take a hand -and get involved.'' Dr. James Barry was born in London in 1795; achieved an M.D. degree from Edinburgh Medical School in 1815; served as a surgeon with the British armed forces for many years in many different areas. \ ·1 he1.- philosophy, "Once a Letter-· woman, Always a Letterwoman." speaks for the cohesiveness and mutual goals that are demonstrated by this club. Their alumni roster boasts 200 membe"rs; obviously, their philosophy is working. The Letterwomen have some specific goals -in mind for the year. One is an Endowment Fund, which presently stands at $2000 (working its way up to a hoped-for $5000). The chb has received very generous gifts from Correen Santoro's family, in memory of Correen, along with alumni monetary contributions, not to mention the profit made by - you guessed it bakesales and the concession stands established in the Letterwomen 's Alumni Club - to get the members aware of what's happening and keep them involved. Many alumni events have already been scheduled throughout the school year. Luck to them! While the Letterwomen 's desire to take the back seat to Wilkes' 50th Anniversary is highly complimentary, honorable, and all that other good stuff, the Wilkes College Letterwomen 's Club deserves to be noticed on their 20th Anniversary,· too. So, notice! Be supportive. They've got some really worthwhile events happening, and a long string of accomplishments to THEN: Members of the 1972-73 Letterwomen's Club. at home games. Once the goal of $5000 has been reached, the annual interest will fund the Letterwomen 's Scholarship and the Correen Santoro Award. Another aim is to build on what has already been be proud of.

A charlady who was called in to lay out the body made the startling discovery that Dr. Barry was a woman. Very little is known about Dr. Barry's life, or about why she chose to hide her real identity. But she was the first woman doctor of the British Isles, albeit under disguise. �Virgin Vinyl l~y Ste phen Badman same stock. and are all s uper m usicians. th e hand does not h ave a progrssive rnc k sound.

"Story Theatre" sounds like a good name, according to the play's director, Dr. Michael O'Neill. O'Neill said of the show, which opens tonight in the Center for the Performing Arts, "The title actually describes the play quite well, for the show is a loosely connected framework of eleven stories done in a way that the whole becomes a celebration of theatre itself.'' Story Theatre, which begins the 1982-83 season for the Wilkes College Theatre, calls upon its audience to help create the world of the play. Costumes are suggested, props are minimal, and furniture is sparse. · "The emphasis in Story Theatre is upon the actor\ physical and emot ional equipment,'' O'Neill stated.

Both shows take stories we know well and transform them, through imagination and music, into exciting and . imaginative theatre. So, is it just for kids? When Story Theatre opened on Broadway in the early 1970's, one critic wrote, "Make no mistake about it: This is pure adult entertainment."

The Milk Industry foundation in Washington. C.. says about $100 million stolen cases is lost per year. "The play is wonderful theatre because it seduces the audience into entering the imagination of the performer," he explained. "When a peasant in the play mimes milking a cow, the audience must 'see' that cow as clearly as the actor playing the peasant 'sees' it." Story Theatre is full of such challenges for its company of thirteen. Christopher Lonstrup, a senior theatre arts major, plays nine different characters in the show. In the time it takes to change her costume, Sarah Law, a junior political science/ theatre arts major, must transform herself from a wicked old murderess into the dim-witted Henny Penny . The setting , designed and execu ted by Klaus Holm of the theatre arrs faculty, is a towering maze of scaffolding and platforms. The actors hang ·from them, sing from them, and sit upon them as cows. If you start with a penny and you double it, and then you keep doubling the amount each successive day for 30 days, you will wind up with $5,368,709.12.

Flamey �Page 10, The Beacon, October 8 1982 from the 1 Colonels Lose -bench Thir ougla by Chris Baron I by Ellen Van Riper R §§athletes? How much does Wilkes College value its athletic programs and its Up until this year, I would have proudly yelled " tremendous- I§ 8§ ly, ' ' but now, after what I've heard and experienced, I am not that con vinced anymore. It has been a painful transition from innocence to ex- Rperience. § The Wilkes football season took a turn for the worse last Saturday when the Colonels were shelled by Susquehanna University , 42-8. The Colonels had been showing improvement during their first two games, but, on Saturday they slipped back into their old form . Wilkes exhibited an inept offensive attack and the usually awesome Colonel defense gave up 481 total yards. Back in 1980 the Colonels defeated Susquehanna 9-7 in the last game of the season. Since then Wilkes has gone on a 12 game slide. · Susqu ehanna got on the board early and often. With 9 : 51 remaining in the first period , Crusader kicker Frank Riggitano put up a 29 ·yard fiel d goal. Later in the same period , Hank Belcolle pulled down a 10 yard pass from QB Earl Fullerton for what proved to be the winning score . Early in the second period Riggitano kicked his second field goal , a 3 7 yarder, to finish the scoring for the first half. While the Wilkes defense was giving up huge chunks of yardage . the Colonel offense was struggl.ing. Wilkes managed only 21 yards on the ground and 199 through the air. For most of the afternoon Wilkes QB Wayne Lonstein was under heavy pressure from the Crusaders' front line. The poor pass protection resulted in three Lonstein intercepts. After the game Head Coach Bill Unsworth commented on his quarterback's woes. · He said, "There was lots of pressure on Wayne ; but he's the one who gets the credit when things go good, and he gets the blame when things go bad . That 's just the nature of the job." Early in the second half, Susquehanna added two quick TD's and the Colonels were down 27-0. With 10 : 5 3 remaining in the contest , Wilkes got its first and only score of the game. Lonstein hit Mike Slepian with a seven yard TD pass. On the next play, the two connected again for the two point conversion . The Crusaders then added insult to injury as their substitutes scored two more touchdowns in the final minutes of the game. The usually optimistic Unsworth seemed very disheartened by the loss . He commented, "We never really got going offensively or defensively ." The Colonels are going to have to take a long hard look at themselves and try to turn things around , or its going to be a very long season . This week the Colonels get a chance to prove something to the alumni when they take on Trenton State in the an nual H omecoming game at Ralston field. by Susan DeFratei e Lady Colonels last , some of the finest tei d hockey has to offer.

Seriously. there is a problem , or shall I phrase it a major war being waged between academics and athletics . At times it appears as if the lines have been drawn and the trenches dug , for there are members of both the fac ulty and the administration who believe that the two cannot · exist peacefully together. R Because of this belief, these individuals make academic life for man y § athletes extremely difficult . Missing class , tests , and labs because of ~ games and, Heaven forbid, graciously rescheduling them is a big no-no.

Saturday began the real challenge for Wilkes as they faced Division l's Rider College and Division H's Bloomsburg State College. It could have been a round robin weekend with weaker teams, but Coach Gay Meyers felt that in-order for Wilkes to become better, they must play better competition. And competition it was, for Wilkes played tough, put up a terrific fight, and just kept coming at these teams. Coming into the game, Rider, Bloomsburg, and Mt. St. Mary's had all played strong competition, but they also had many more women on their rosters, contributing much greater depth Colonels last weekend of the finest teams that y has to offer.

The Lady Colonels start an offensive attack against Bloomsburg last Saturday at Kirby. With the ball is senior cocaptain Diane Hall. (Phot by Karl Lindhorst) With 15 minutes left in the first half, Rider scored the first goal of the game. All it took, though, was a short pass from Debbie Cometa to Diane Hall, a beautiful lift by Diane into the top corner of the goal, and the score was tied at one apiece. With 19 minutes gone in the second half, Rider scored again on a penalty corner, and Wilkes was down 2-1. Only two minutes later Wilkes answered with a goal when Karen Johnson assisted Diane Hall for her second goal of the game. Another penalty corner cost Wilkes a goal and at least a tie. The Lady Colonels didn't give up, and even had a third goal called back. According to Coach Meyers , her tea m had out -played Rider , but it was Rider's style that beat Wilkes. "We had played hard in the morn ing - I wasn't sure if we'd have much left for Rider. But I'm proud of how we played. We aren't used to being pushed and shoved. and Rider got away with it all l!ame long.'' Judging from how well Wilkes played against these two top teams, Meyers is enthusiastic about the rest of the season, "Our attack gets stronger with every game. If we had a little more stick skill, we'd be even better." The Lady Colonels ended their part in the round robin weekend with a 1-0 loss to Mt. St. Mary's on Sunday afternoon . Mt. St. Mary's was coming off two losses from the day before, and was hungry for the win. Wilkes was ''tired and tacky," as Coach Meyers put it . meaning that Wilkes ' skill level dropped off. The first half saw a It ,1 of hit and hope on Wilkes ' na rt . Both teams lacked control of dd lt ;·1 ed balls , and, as a res ult , Wilkes was beaten to the ball too often by Mt. St. Mary's. Although Wilkes was strong when they did get the ball into the opponent's circle, it just didn't happen often enough to get the Lady Colonels hack into the game. Football In Europe " :ARE CENTER rMenand h Styling than Wilkes . Wilkes ' first challenger of the weekend was Bloomsburg . The fact that Bloomsburg had played tough 1981 AJA W National competition did not move Wilkes, as they rose to the occasion to tie Bloom 1-1. From the opening pushback, it seemed that BSC would be on a scoring fling, but the Wilkes defense had other ideas. In the end BSC got only 14 shots off, and Wilkes' goalie Tracey Kelly had an excellent game with nine saves. In deep defense it was Karen Johnson and Tracey Day who cleared the ball out of the Wilkes circle to keep Bloomsburg from scoring. On attack it was Diane Hall, Sue Strenkert and Michelle Weiss who kept Wilkes in the game during the first half. Unfortunately, a tough BS(; defense prevented the forward line from getting many shots off. A 0-0 score at the half encouraged BSC to come out hungry, but Wilkes held them. Then 12 minutes into the half Bloomsburg had a series of shots, and finally put one in the goal off of Tracey Kelly's pads. This goal only made Wilkes play harder and forced them to keep the ball moving faster. They had several penalty corners, and with nine minutes left in the game , Karen Johnson intercepted a ball in its path out of the circle, drove toward goal , and Debbie Cometa lift. ed it in the goal. Coach Meyers was enthusiastic about her team ' s tie with BSC , "We did it - we tied a very strong and talented team. ' ' Wilkes reassembled later in the afternoon for a very fast -paced, tension-filled game against Rider , the Division I team . The Lady Colonels gave them a good fight, matching two of their goals with one of their own. Unfortunately , Wilkes could not retaliate against Rider ' s third goal and lost 3-2. by the Roanoke T101es & World-News Staff Football is be ginning to take Europe by storm, and four Virginia Military Institute coaches rode the crest of enthtisiasm on a working visit there earlier this year.

In the third game , Dickinson literally killed the Lady Colonels 15-1 , and it looked pretty bleak for Wilkes . But, somehow the ladies got together and took the fourth game 15-7 and the decisive fifth 15-9. With the Lady Colonels getting sets from Debbie Kramer and Teresa Miller, Wilkes again was able to use all of the hitters. Cathy Lee and Jennifer Golding led the way with 12 kills each. Following right behind them were Ellen Van Riper with seven and Sally Fisher witp five. Not only was Wilkes spiking well, but the serves were once again excellent. Cathy Lee matched her kills total with 12 service aces. Teresa Miller and Jennifer Golding followed with seven and six respective! y. Wilkes' next match was against the team from Maryville. The gals from Tennessee were just too much for the Lady Colonels to handle. They lost the first three games, 15-8, 15-5, and 15-0. It was a meagre evening for both kills and service aces. Cathy Lee managed four kills, and Teresa Miller and Jennifer Golding had three aces apiece . Even though the Lady Colonels lost to this tough southern team, it by Karen Bove The Wilkes volleyball team continues its winning ways. They had a great week in winning three out of their four games. The ladies raised their overall season's record to 8-2 . Their only loss was to a tough team from Tennessee, Maryvilte College, which was just traveling through to the Juniata College Tournament. The three victories were over Dickinson College, Upsala and FDU-Madison. In defeating Upsala and FDU, Wilkes maintained its undefeated record in the MAC Northeastern Division. It is a perfect record of 3-0. The only divisional game left is King's, and the ·Lady Colonels are ready to capture the Northeastern championship and an automatic. berth in the overall MAC Championships in early November. To start off the week, the Lady Colonels traveled down to Carlisle to meet a tough Dickinson College team . It seemed as though Wilkes would encounter a loss as Dickinson took the first game 15-8. However, Wilkes came right back to win the second with a score of 16-14. helped them to be better prep for the weekend . The week games were against MAC divisio schools. Last Saturday the Lady Colo met Upsala College in East Ora NJ. Wilkes had little trouble handing the Lady Vikings a loss.

Cross Country ream Edged By Baptist Bible 27-28 by Ellen Van Riper Last Saturday the Colonels met Baptist Bible at Kirby . In a race in which a ms:agre total of l l seconds separated the top five finishers, the Colonels were narrowly nipped 27-28. This close defeat lowered the overall season record to 4-3. . Coach Bart Bellairs called it "the best ever cross country meet at Wilkes," or at least "definitely the best" since he has been here. The race was decided in the last l O yards of the five-mile course. In what was more like a hundred-meter dash ending, the second and third Colonel finishers were outkicked by two Baptist Bible Defenders. The winner of the race was Colonel freshman George Hockenbury with a time of 26:20. It was his first victory of the 1982 season, and his sizzling time was close to the course record . · The second finisher for Wilkes was Tom McGuire who was clocked at 26:24. He finished third overall. Just to illustrate the closeness of the race, it is interesting to note the sec- ond place finisher';time of 26:22 . R~unding out the finishers for the Colonels were Dave Levandoski, Greg Quinn, Joe Dill, Tom Morpath , Chuck Harris, Owen Murphy and Mark Murphy. Levandoski ran a good race and finished third for Wilkes and fifth overall at 26:31. Quinn was clocked at 27:39, which was good for the fourth Colonel spot and ninth overall. Dill was the fifth Colonel finisher with a time of 28: 17. Relatively close behind him was Morpath who ran a 28:52. Harris and the two Murphys finished fourteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth overall. Chuck had a time of 29:40, Owen came in at 30: 12, and Mark finished at 30:22 . Coach Bellairs hated to lose the meet, but he did not mind quite as much because his runners put forth a total team effort. They "rose to the challenge" and "pulled together as a team . " Also acting as a salve for the wound was the improvement shown by the team,both as·a unit and individually. The obvious highlight of the day was the · performance of Hockenbury. Only a freshman, George has had a fine rookie campaign. His victory last Saturday is only the beginning. Bellairs sees many more coming in the future . The other obvious bright spot was McGuire who has shown steady improvement throughout the season. Meet in and meet out he has been a top finisher. He has consistently been providing the team with fine performances. However, perhaps overshadowed by it all has been the improvement of Greg Quinn , Joe Dill and Tom Morpath. They have all been working extremely hard, anq., according to Bellairs, it has paid off. Last Saturday they all trimmed about four minutes off of their average times for the course. This Homecoming weekend the Colonels will face Moravian College. According to Bellairs, it will be the toughest team that the Colonels have faced so far.

In 1976, am original reduction of tuition costs for post-graduates of Wilkes was adopted. This reduction . allowed Wilkes graduates to return to the College to take additional courses or work toward another de.gree at half the tuition costs: A revision of this rule went into effect this past summer. A discount still exists. However, postgraduates must now pay threequarters of the tuition costs. Dean Ralston stated the revision was , ''the result of extensive consideration." The college's budget is directly dependent on ·tuition and the change, ~as necessary to ''make ends meet. The discount adjustment was Wlao'• ba~ed on economic reasons. Dean Ralston explained, ''fifty percent was a generous amount, and with the college trying to economize, it was felt that this discount might be too generous." The tuition costs are rising for everyone and Dean Ralston commented, "In all fairness, the .burden must be shared equally by all.'' John Meyers, director of Graduate and Part-time Undergraduate Programs, expressed his opinion as, "At seventy-five percent, it's still a break." A "fandfather clause" was not adopte into the revision. This means that there are no exceptions to the rule. It does not matter when the student graduated. For those returning primarily for graduate level courses, there is a $10 per credit discount. This policy has remained unchanged throughout the recent budget review. Wlao Offer• Senior ' · Student Leaders Recog~i~ion by John Finn Each year a publication entitled Who 's Who Among Students in America, Colleges and Universities gives re< :ognition to seniors who have demonstrated outstanding part\cipation and leadership in campus or community affairs. Seniors are encouraged to nominate themselves, but may also be nominated by another student, a department chairman, or an administrator. Nominations forms are available in the offices of the Registrar, the Deans and Housing. The deadline for all applications is 4: 30 p.m., Friday, October 29. This is not an academic achievement contest. The only academic requirement is a 2.0 cumulative average. Arthur Hoover, dean of students, said that, based on past competition, he expects to receive 80 to 100 nominations. A careful selection process is then necessary because the organization that conducts the contest sets a precise limit to the number of nominations each college may submit. This year, Wilkes may submit 33 student names. Hoover said he has not yet sel_ected the committee for reviewing the nominations, but it will include student representatives, most like! y, sophomores and juniors. The selection process is timeconsuming, the Dean said, and often requires several lengthy meetings in order to allow careful consideration of the nominations. Students who are selected to appear in Who 's Who can purchase the directory and may find it valuable when applying for jobs. �Pa e 2, _T h e Beacon, October 15, 1982 IRHC Meeti~a Commu Council To Hold Pa1ty Groups Join to Lower Tick·e Cot remarks were made , comments for the most part focused on negative aspects.

The ceremony lasted slightly more than an hour, and afterwards, stated Hoover, "all that was left were many beer bottles all over the parking lot. '' Hoover described the sight "damn sad." He also expressed his disappointment with the thought that Wilkes students can't get together for an hour without drinking and making a mess. Under the topic of Homecoming weekend, Shelly Urban announced that damage was done at Gus Genettis; someone turned on a water fountain before leavin which as Discussed flooded the area around it .

I I ~ --- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ JI �Pa e 4, The Beacon October 15 1982 Editor's Corner Recently, the College 's proposed plan of the demolition of Con vng ham Annex was explained, a plan that has dismayed a sizable portion of the College population . Noting that the Annex is in need of' 'substantial repairs and innovations,'' Wilkes management indicated that most cost-efficient remedy to the problem of building maintenance and repair on campus seems to be eliminating the problem by razing troublesome 'buildings. With repair costs skyrocketing and the College budget creaking under pressure, this seems to be the practical course to follow. Housed in the Conyngham Annex are the College Infirmary and the Student Gallery, Ceramic Studio, and Batik Studio of the Art Department. Betty Kwak, evening nurse in the Infirmary, noted · that for the past five years the location of the Infirmary has been ideal -- close to students and the main campus. But should (as has been proposed) the Infirmary be moved to the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center, she added, the Infirmary 's accessibility to the student body won't change. Furthermore, she explained a few of the maintenance problems the Infirmary staff has encountered at the Annex: a leak in the roof, troublesome oil heating, and sewage and gutter cloggings. Again . in light of a few racts, the decision to raze the Annex appears mon~and more practical. But practicality _does not always accompany foresight or vision. Though Betty Kwak did not appear perturbed about the proposed move, she did note that the Annex and the older mansions on campus distinguished Wilkes from rival institutionsMoreover, she noted that the Annex had a quiet and a peacefulness about it that students visiting the Infirmary found particularly comfort ing: "When students first come in, they don't want to stay. But once they're here, they don't want to leave," she said. More pronounced disagreement concerning the demolition proposal came from the Art Department, which depends on the Annex to house its Student Gallery, Batik Studio, and Ceramic Studio. Dr. Wil!iaqi Sterling, Chairman of the Art Department, explained that while the Batik Studio possibly can be absorbed into the art rooms in Stark,Learning Center, relocating the Ceramic Studio poses a_ problem. In addition, the kilns, said Sterling, that are needed to f1re ~he ceramics and also the clay works of sculpture classes are loca ted ID the garage area adjacent to the Annex, and if the Annex is demolished the fired works will have to -be shuffled back and forth from Stark to the kilns. The Student Gallery, which is used for senior art exhibits and student shows, might be moved to the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center; Sterling added that this might be "a reasonably good place for it." But, he added, the Department is "not happy," because it is currently utilizing the Annex building he~vi_ly. '_'Especially discouraging," noted Sterling, •\s that the ?u1lding ~ill be taken from us at this time, when the Department is IDVOlved ID aggressive campaigns to increase enrollment in the art program. The facilities are a selling point, and we're constricting ourselves if we eliminate those facilities.'' . ~uddenly , the_ question of practicality becomes more complex . But 1t 1s when one listens to the students' voices that one hears perhaps the most adament objections to the proposal. Henry E. Long . an art major and President of the Fine Arts Association of Wilkes College, c~~ment~d that_the thirty -member FAA wanted to circulate a pettt1on against the proposal, but scrapped the idea when its cause appeared hopeless. The Association was informed of the demolition plans some time ago, said Long, and was told that th e Annex lot would be converted to a "greenway," i.e., a walkway. Accord ing to Long, the art studios in Stark, which are themselves converted chemistry lab rooms, are crowded now, and that because windows in Stark are sealed there is no ventilation for paint fumes; consequently, the rooms in the Annex are vital. As for the Student Gallery, Long and other art majors ''don't like the idea of the move, but it's better than being put outside." Students of other majors also question the wisdom of the demolition proposal. Gene Chikowski, rn-chairman of the Student 50th Anniversary Committee, noted that in the course of his research for the anniversary celebration, he looked through m n y older Wilkes' yearbooks and newspapers. As a result, he said , "one thing that stands out the most for me is how many of the older buildings that were on campus are now demolished, and I really feel that the character of the College lies in its older buildings . It's a shame to see such beautiful pieces of architecture gone.'' After investigating the issue, one feels the need to ask what really is the most "practical" course to follow. Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dea n of Management , stated that the College members are "working together to come up with meaningful solutions." But in actuality, the "solutions" are only accomodations to already-formulated procedure : the demolition decision has been made , and it only remains for the Board of Trustees to give its official approval. If the proposal is passed, the Physical Facilities Committee will try to ascertain the most "appropriate use" for the vacated space. One is forced to ask if the most "appropriate use" is not to provide sick students with health care, to provide a setting where artistic and aesthetic sensibilities can develop in growing minds, and to provide a showcase where students can di splay the products of their artistic labor - the very "uses" of the building at this time. Or , perhaps, a parking lot (, more ''practical.'' It would be a shame to think so. , ........,....,,......... "Aye Fred! I think I found the· thermostat." O'Neill Addresses Student Go To the Editor: _ I feel it is necessary to comment publicly on the disappointing and destructive behavior of the Student Government in regard to publicity for the Wilkes College Theatre's recent production of Story Theatre . I write this Jetter not only as the director of Story Theatre , but also as a concerned member of the faculty and of the college community. College Theatre productions serve a triple purpose . As co-curricular activities, they are essential both to the education of Theatre Arts majors and minors and to the creative and professional growth of the Theat re Arts faculty . As extracu rricular activities, they provide .all Wilkes students, · regardless of their majors, with opportunities to take part in the theatre experience. As events open to the college and the community, theatre productions contribute to the cul tural life of the campus and the area. Consequently, I feel it is our duty to publicize the productions of Wilkes College Theatre as much as possible. Theatre Arts majors learn from the resulting audience feedback; students both in the shows and on production crews experience "live" theatre; the college benefits from the audience's cultural enrichment brought about by artisitic endeavor. Unfortunately , publicizing Story Theatre was made very difficult by the actions of various students at Wilkes, especially members of the Student Government. This is extremely distressing to me because such actions hurt not only Story Theatre, but detract from the vital artistic life necessary for the survival of any college campus . • The publicity crew for Story Theatre decided to publicize the show during production week by hanging flyers and balloons around the campus . Members o{ the Student Government, in a burst of responsible behavior befitting their elected (albeit, in some cases un opposed) positions, tore down and destroyed the flyers and balloons advertising the show. Many members of the cast of Story Theatre reported to me that S.G. representatives and, keep in mind that these are thei r elected officials who, in theory at least, represent student intersts -harassed them and informed them that no signs co ufd be hung on campus unless Student Government allowed it. I spoke to an S.G . leader, and I discovered the origi n for such publicity by decree only . First, S.G . is ,under the mistaken im'pressio'n 'rhat ~-"e ' n Curtain, a stuJl111 ,! c1b, and Wilkes College Theatre ·1'.e one and the same; thus, S.G. has jurisdiction over all theatre publicity at Wilkes . This is sheer nonsense. Student Government leaders ought to understand the difference between a club and a departmental activity; after all, S.G. does have access to a Student Handbook in which clubs are listed . Cue 'n Curtain is there, along with the Bar Bell Club, the Polar Bear Club,. Friends Forever and, low and behold, Student Government. Theatre Arts can be found in the Wilkes College Bulletin under the Department of Languages and Literature. Wilkes College Theatre presents four major productions each academic year; Cue ' n Curtain meets each Tuesday at 12 p.m . in the Reading Room of the Center for the Performing Arts. Each Wilkes · College Theatre production is directed by a member of the Theatre Arts faculty and designed by a member of the Theatre Arts facul ty; the officers of Cue 'n Curtain are Wilkes students elected each spring. Story Theatre had st udents in its cast and crew, and some of. them were from Cue 'n Curtain , but basic logic should demonstrate that Cue 'n Curtain is not the same as Wilkes College Theatre. Second! y, I was told in no un certain terms by an S.G . leader that the Student Handbook strictly for bids Wilkes College Theatre to staple any flyers of any kind to trees or to bulletin boards. Theatre fly ers or signs, if and when approved by S.G., can be thumb-tacked only to offical bulletin boards ; there is no regulation concerning balloons, but there should be! Wrong again, Student Government. There is nothing in the 1982-83 Student Handbook concerning publicity for any student club, let alone the Wilkes College Theatre Arts program. The ?nly,;1ritten :1t1e I could find was this: Campaign materials affixed to trees may· only betied or taped. No campaign materi als shall be nailed, thumb-tacked, or stapled to trees" (p. 46). The effort that goes into publicizing a theatre production at Wilkes may often rese mble a campaign, but even S.G . should have realized that nobody named "Story Theatre" was run ning for office, especially since no campaign was going on. I certainly do not condone illegally stapllDg posters to trees, but instead of tearing down posters, which cost_ money, and leaving the staples m the trees, which is bad for trees, Student Government memhers, if they really were so worried ,ibout the app~anmce·of the campus: merely needed to pick up a dial Wilkes College Theatre, form the faculty of their The crew of Story Theatre have moved the flyers ana everybody a little bit of mon~ whole lot of resentment. · Of course, none of this i that it was elected represe at Wilkes who ripped downa painted banner hanging on ering cafeteria, crumbled it heap, and left it in the dirt bush.

Let's com pare this to the cost of building a coal-fired plant of the same generating capacity. Its construction cost would be tremendous, about two-thirds of the cost of the nuclear plant, or $2.6 billion. So, logically, a coal plant should have been constructed, and $1.25 billion saved, right? Wrong! The initial savings in building a coal plant would soon be wiped out by the higher fuel cost of coal. The fuel cost of generating a ·kilowatt-hour of electricity in a coal plant is two to three cents, in a nuclear plant it is but five cents. This means that once on line, a nuclear power plant is four to six times less expensive to run than a . coal plant. With coal prices rising constantly, nuclear's operational ~vings. will become significantly higher m the next few years. With these savings, a nuclear power plant would erase the $1. 25 billion differ· ence in about six years, and , over the lifetime of the plant, a considerable savings would be achieved over a comparable coal plant.

The president then went on to sav that even though millions of peopie were suffering, his economic programs would work. This is the same sort of bizzare logic that was offered by James Baker, a White House aide and spokesman , this weekend on the nationally-televised This Week with David Brinkley. On that show, Baker contended that there was no real relationship between the rate of inflation and the r s p e C t, •l V Wilkes C..ollege Sn1dent Newspaper Permit No. 355 •IO·C hr~f . ..... . ... , .. , ....... , ....

There are probably no economists of any stature in the country who would agree with this statement, but , apparently, this is the view in the White House. Speaking specifically about the unemployment issue, Baker said that to put people to work repairing America was not a viable choice . Baker characterized em ployment which would put people to wqrk repairing bridges, roads , sewers and other public-works projects as short-term, dead end jobs with very little dignity. Do those in the White H ouse feel there is a great deal of dignity to be found in the unemployment line? Finally, on the economy, the . stock market literally went through the roof this past week, surpassing the magical 1000 point barrier. Economists and analysts on Wall Street, when asked to what one could attribute this phenomenom , replied either that they did not know, or that prices had sunk so low in the recent past that buyers were taking advantage of bargains. N o one - except of course the White Your cuz. I I • •• The Beacon . House - gave any indication that Reagan's economic policies had anything to do with the rally. If the market should fall next week, which it will, in all likelihood, due to profit-taking, the White House will probably attempt to attribute it to an insidious, pre-election plot by Democrats. In the face of staggering unemployment, a 30 percent drop in American plant output, an econom y with a negligible GNP growth, and a need to flip -flop on taxation policies, when will this administra tion admit that they haven ' t the faintest idea what is really going on with the economy, and forget about supply-sided economics which only benefit those in Ronald Reagan's tax bracket? We hope soon. In addition to claiming personal responsibility for the Wall Street bonanza this week, Reagan was active being "presidential" in other ways. Some new words and phrases were added to the White House To the Editor, Last Monday,we, the members of the volleyball team, were informed that the College's Athletic Director, John Reese, had decided to curtail our practice time in the gym from our regular two-1,our session to a one-hour session . We find this to be disrnrbing for a number of reasons , and believe that everybody associated with the College should be made aware of the situation. The shortened practice sessions will begin on October 20 , and they are, according to Mr. Reese, necessitated by the fact that the men 's and women 's basketball teams, the wrestling team, and the volleyball team will all be conducting practices. Granted, there is a premium upon gym time , but the new set-up is grossly unfair. As we understand it, •tlJ of the teatl)-S except for t~e ~olley- O:>ngratulations Dr. Fiester !

So, you see, a 'meltdown' was never really a possibilty, and when taken with the negligible radioiodine exposure to the atmosphere, this 'worst of possible' accidents wasn't really that terrible at all. Finally, the safety record of nuclear power looks even better when compared to coal. No one denies the grave environmental damage caused by coal, yet how can any respectable environmentalist, with the knowledge that coal is the only feasibile alternative, seek the elimination of nuclear power plants? Like their financial arguments against nuclear power, the safety arguments of nuclear foes oo not add up either. In this important debate, all we ask from the nuclear opponents are the facts and not media sensationalism. PP&L, with its lecture series, is doing its best to hold up its end of the bargain. We welcome any comments or criticism, please write to us at C 0 n C s 0 e r ·V a eD t•' -- I v. e t lexicon of domestic and foreign policy. "Shut up!" leaps to mind immediately. This is a truly presi~ntial, finesse-filled way to deal with a heckler. It is reminiscent of oth~r grea~ Rep~blicans - Rocky's uplifted middle fmger, Spiro T. Agnew's ''effete snobs'' comment Dick Nixon's pushing his pres~ secretary. Reagan did not stop , there , however. Reagan now insists that thos~ of us who support a freeze or reduct ion in nuclear weapons are somehow un -American . This type of comment h as not been hea rd , spoken sincerely and in public, since the M cCarthy era. Lastly, Reagan went out on a limb to advance the stature of American foreign policy by publicly referring to the Polish government as a bunch of ''no-good, lousy bums.'' This type of talk may play well in Peoria, but it is the last thing that -should be uttered in public by the President of the United States. Mr. Reagan could do the country a favor by keeping such comments to himself. Volleyball Team Protests New Practice Schedule The Beacon L5PS 832-080 snatch from their quiver is the question of nuclear safety. Undoubtedly, Three Mile Island is pointed to as the most serious nuclear accident to ever occur, and one which exemplifies the 'danger' of nuclear pow· er. Well, here are the after accident facts: no radioiodine was found in any of the 130 water samples taken by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the TMI area. No radioiodine was found in any of the soil or milk samples, but ei.i;it of the 15 2 air samples showed radioiodine present. Yet, the maximum activity was only one-fourth of what is permissible. At the height of the accident, the top of the core was actually exposed to air, thus beginning, in theory, the 'meltdown.' Look what happened. The uncovered top of the core heated to 2000 degrees Celcius which is well below the minimum 'meltdown' temperature of 5000 degrees Celcius. Therefore, for any dangerous degree of meltdown to occur, the TM! accident would have had to result in a 250 percent temperature increase over what the actual temperature 1 1- ., , • ·- .,· • ball team will be given two hours ot time . We find this ridiculous and absurd, because we are the only group which will be actually in season and competing. All of the other teams do not start their seasons until late November or early December. This curtailment of our practice time will be occurring at a most inopportune time for us. We have all but qualified for the MAC Championship Tournament which will be held November 5 and 6 at Dickinson College in Carlisle, so we will need those precious hours to properly prepare ourselves . There is usually never enough time to begin wtih , so cutting our time in half could be detrimental to our cause . For the past month we have graciously shared the gym with the wrestling team on Monday and Wed nesday nights, for we believe; that they too. have a right I ' ·and' a need to practice. We are not oblivious to the rigorous demands of Division I intercollegiate competition. However, we also believe that such respect should be reciprocated, despite our Division III standing . It is unfortunate that Mr. Reese obviously does not hold such respect for our right and need to practice . All athletes, be they men or women, are entitled to this consideration . It can also be presumed by this absurd action that Mr. Reese does not respect us nor our achievement so far this season . One might even say that he does not have respect for women's athletics as a whole. Thank you . Sincerely, The members of the 1982 Lady Colonei Volleyball Team 'I I )j 1 �There she is ...

Herpes Simplex Virus is highly contagious . recurrent and incurrable. More than half a million cases are reported ·each yea r. One out of everv five sexuallv active ad ults al· readv has it. ancf one o ut " f ('\'trv 15 teen a~ers will contract it. Unlike gonnorrh ea and syph · ilis, which are caused by a bacteria and can be cured through the use of antibi otics, herpes is a virus and has no cure . Herpe$ is classi{ied into two types : Type I usually ca uses infections above the waist. fo r example, around the mouth and eyes , and Type II which is generally responsible for genital infections. H,1\vever, possibly because of oralgenital practices - 15 percent of HSV oral infections result from T ype II virus , and 15 percent of all genital infections are caused by Type I. Onl y laboratory tests, such as a tiss ue culture, can distinguish between the two. Direct sexual contact is not needed to contract herpes. HSV can be transmitted through contact with objects which have been in dire<'t contact wi th the virus, suc h as . towels, toothbrushes, ea ting ut en sils and, yes, toilet seats. Thi s ca n , however, only occu r when the virus first comes out of its incubation period or cj_ormancy. An HSV outbreak takes place in three st ages: prodome, vesicle and crusting --over stage , and sex ual act ivity should be curtai led duri ng this period. · An initial attack of HSV takes place after a two-to-20 day incu bation period. The prodome stage begins when the patient feels a sensation of pressure: a dull pulselike throb, an intermittent prickly pain , a tingly sensation or a droning ache. Pain can be more severt-. in cluding pain shooting through the thighs or a tingling · sensation in buttocks. These signal viral replication and are a warning th at a herpes outbreak has begun and the need to cease all intimate contact in that area. Within a few hours, 10 to 20 flui d fill ed blister-like vesicles appea r at the si te where HSV has entered the body. In genital HSV , lesions may dot the vulva , vagina, ureth n•. peremeal , bladder , buttocks , peni~ . _ thighs, scrotum or rectum. Onset of the disease may also cause ch ills , fever , malaise and headaches . The lesions last 14 to 28 days during the initial outbreak and heal without scarring during the crusting-over stage. Cleanliness and dryness are vital to rapid healing. Creams and ointments should not be used on the lesions. Beside cutting off the drying effec t , such treatment could spread the virus to a larger area , especially if they ' re applied with a circular motion. The virus spreads when mucous membranes, the genitalia or any breaks in the skin comes directly in contact with the virus to other or another li ving· host. A patient can spread the virus to other parts of his own body .

Faut said NASA was interested in knowing just how TCP worked in order to make more intelligent decisions in their use of other lubricants in the space program . Although the_chemical properties of TCP preclude it from being used aboard such NASA missions as the Cloumbia space shuttle, Faut said a more thorough understanding of the chemical can have some beneficial right here on earth . The more that's known about TCP , said Faut, the better chance there is of making automobile engines last longer. With his sabbatical up in August, 1982, Faut is now back on the campus of Wilkes teaching inorganic chemistry. He is intent on maintaining his contacts with NASA, hoping to return for a summer fellowship this year. In the meantime, Faut and one of his student~, David Yaron, are continuing the research into NASA's lubrication problems . Interestingly enough, one of the added side benefits to Faut 's affiliation with NASA was the opportunity for his family to spend a year together in a strange city. .

The Social is still in the planning stages. Chikowski added that the Committet! is organizing other · Student Center theme parties in conjunction with the junior and senior classes. Also, the Student Anniversary Committee plans to help with the senior class First Annual Admiral Stark Clam Bake, to be held in November. "Probably the major event being planned by the Committee," continued Chiko'l'{ski, '' is the 50th Anniversary Cinderella Ball." The Ball, patterned after the Wilkes' Cinderella Balls of the past, will be a formal affair held in December at the Master Host Inn . The evening will include dancing, a prime rib dinner, and an elegant setting : the Host pool and waterfall will be part of the grounds and will be decorated with floating candles for the evening. The ticket price, Chikowski noted, will be surprisingly low : approximately $13.00 per couple. The low ticket price, he added, is possible because of the $1500 donations given by Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council respectively to reduce the cost of the Ball. "we're very grateful for the cooperation of CC and IRHC thus far," he said. Cindy Bonham and Andrea Fronzoni are also helping to organize the event. Chikowski also noted that Mary Romanick is currently taking pictures at all events on campus that are related to the anniversary celebration, and that these pictures will be compiled into a Photo Album which will be presented to the College at the end of the year. Only one or two copies of the Album will be made. Any suggestions for activities are being welcomed by the Committee, Chikowski noted and "if anyone has any ideas for celebrating the College's 50th Anniversary, see meor Sheller We're looking for suggestions.'

The score was 21-36 . The loss evened the overall season record at 4-4. The women members of the team also saw action last Saturday, but it was not a very challenging meet . The Lady Colonels won by forfeit over College Misericordia. Three runners ran for the women. Jane Stapleton completed the threemile course in 24 : 13, and she was followed by Lynn Roberts who was clocked at 2 5:03, and Michelle Herschack who crossed the line at 26:47. The top finisher for the men was, once again, freshman sensation George Hockenbury who came in at 26: 17 . He finished second overall. lo recent meets Hockenbury has become the most consistent and best Colonel runner. He was a first-place finisher along with David Levandoski and Tom McGuire against Lycoming. In the team's narrow loss to Baptist Bible, he again crossed the line first. He is a quality runner, so more such performances can be expected throughou_t the remainder of the season.

All season long , McGuire has been a steady second or third runner for Coach Bellairs and the team. David Levandoski was the third Colonel finisher, and his time of 27: 07 placed him eighth overall . The fourth and fifth Colonel placers were Greg Guinn and Tom Morpath . Quinn finished 10th overall with a time of 28 :02, and Morpath ended up 11th at 28: 14. Coach Bellairs was extremely pleased by the performance of Tom Morpath . A freshman, he cut a full 50 seconds from his best course time, and Bellairs believes that Tom r;µi his best race of the season . His improvement is making the battle for the all-important fifth spot very interesting. Such team competition can only benefit the team as a whole, for the runners will be pushing each other to higher peaks of excellance. Other finishers for the Colonels were Joe Dill, Chuck Harris, Mark Murphy and Owen Murphy. Dill finished 13th overall with a time of 29 : 18, and Harris was clocked at 29: 24 and crossed the line 14th. Mark was timed at 29:34 to finish 16th, and Owen came in 18th with a time of 30:23 . Coach Bellairs noted that the outcome of the race was slightly affected by two Moravian runners who cut the course. Even though he was aware of the infraction, Bcllairs did not lodge a complaint.

It is great to experience that mto the game on October 5, the Delaware Valley field hockey team beaten the Lady Colonels. Wilkes Head Coach Gay Meyers was about the intensity of the rivalry. She commented that the Lady "out to hang our hides on the wall. " Fortunate! y, the Wilk es a,oided this grisly fate by netting a 3-0 victory. 1only bearable when the mind and the body are in harmony, and anatural balance between them, and each has a natural respect for The Lady Colonel field hockey team has had an up and down season. However, that all changed last week . Evidence of a new offensive and defensive cohesiveness are the ladies' recent victories over Delaware Valley and Marywood. These two triumphs raised the overall season record to 4-3-3. The Lady Colonels traveled on October 5 to face a Delaware Valley team which . according to Coach Gay Meyers , was "out to hang our hides on the wall.' ' The Lady Aggies were undefeated, 3-0-1, and Wilkes is always a big game for them. They have never beaten the women from Wilkes. Despite playing on a high, grassy and slow field, the Lady Colonels continued their dominance by win- ning 3-0. The first score occurred five minutes into the game. After several Lady Colonel shot attempts on the Aggie goal, Diane Hall picked-up the ball at the top of the circle and passed to Debbie Cometa, 1 who put it in off the goalie's pads. The second tally happened approximately 10 minutes later after the women had had several corners in a row. This time Debbie Cometa intercepted the ball as it was coming out of the circle. Her shot attempt was blocked, but Jean Dougherty was there to put it in. Cometa was credited with an assist, and the goal put the Lady Colonels up 2-0 at the half. · In the second half, the women · from Delaware Valley came right back to pressure the Lady Colonels. The Wilkes defense thwarted the surge and kept the opposition from penetrating consistentlv . Defensive players KarenJohnson. Sharon Martenson and Linda Dayer were key players in this effort. The Lady Colonels netted their third goal 22 minutes into the second half on a corner. Diane Hall drove to the goal and passed to Jean Dougherty, who put it away. For the game, the women had 19 shots on goal, as compared to Delaware Valley's 12. On corners, Wilkes ended up with a slim edge of eight to seven. Lady Colonel goalie Tracy Kelly did a very good job according to Coach Meyers. She made seven saves for the game. Coach Meyers commented about her team's victory, " I was very worried about Delaware Valley, because I knew that they were playing well and are always up for Wilkes. It is not an easy task to adjust to their field. The grass is so high and thick that you have to change the whole style of play, and its a different tempo game. But our people adjusted well. Our attacking line looked good; they consistenly cut and supported each other. The defense was tough, and Tracy Kelly made some great saves ." Against Marywood, the ladies really put it all together. Marywood had been playing well and had a good team, but they could not stop a very determined Lady Colonel attack. It was a textbook game for the Wilkes women. The offense was able to push the ball past the opposition and capitalize on defensive mistakes. On the occasions when Marywood was able to mount an offensive attack of its own, Lady Colonels Tracey Day, Karen John son and Linda Sayer, according to Coach Meyers, "stopped them dead in their tracks." Coach Meyers substituted as much as the rules allow, but even this did not adversely affect the Lady Colonel attack. The women -ended up with a 7-1 win. Four minutes and 45 seconds passed before the Lady Colonels scored their initial goal. Defensive standout Karen Johnson tried her hand at offense and scored from the top of the circle off an assist from Jean Dougherty. At 11 :03 of the half, the Lady Aggies scored their lone goal of the day to tie at 1-1 . After this it was all Wilkes. The Lady Colonels went on a tear and scored three more goals before halftime. The first came at 19: 3 7 when Jean Dougherty tallied off a direct shot on goal by Debbie Cornela. At 25 :07 Sue Strenkert drove a , deflection off the goal_ie'~ pads into the nets to put the Lady Colonels up 3-1 Near the end of the half at 33 :48, Diane Hall scored on a corner. She was assisted by Sue Strenkert. The second half was more of the same, as the Lady Colonel offense continually pressured the Marywood defense. At 10: 05 of the half Diane Hall scored again on a corner, and Sue Strenkert once again was credited with the assist. This pair teamed up for a third time at the 15: 15 mark with the same results. Hall scored a goal on a corner off a Strenkert assist. The final Lady Colonel tally came at 23 :00 into the half. Michelle Weiss took advantage of a deflection off the Marywood goalie's pads to drive the ball into the nets. For the day, the women had 18 attempts on goal as compared to Marywood's five. As far as corners are concerned, Wilkes totally dominated, 21 to seven. Coach Meyers was very pleased with the scoring tandem of Hall and Strenkert, who had great games on attack . They worked the right side of the field well, and had perhaps their best game of the season. She was also pleased by the second effort rush of Jean Dougherty, Debbie Cometa and Susan DeFrates . The Lady Colonels' overall season record of 4-3-3 belies the actual talent of .and the achievement by them so far this season . Testimonv to this fact are the results of the first NCAA Division III national rankings. As of Oct . 6, the women are ranked 16 in the nation, and this is the first time that a Wilkes College field hockey team has ever been in the rankings. The women will now be entering the toughest part of their season . So far they are 2-1 in the MAC overall (the loss was to Elizabeth town which is ranked number two in Division III), but the last five games are all MAC. The ladies have yet to play any teams in their division of the MAC. Upcoming are Lycoming, Susquehanna and Scranton, and these games will decide the MAC tournament fate of the Lady Colonels. Lady Colonels Defeat 1\1isericordia To Record Their Ninth Victory Of '82 by Karen Bove The Lady Colonel spikers only played one match last week. They hosted C.ollege Misericordia last Thursday. It turned out that this match was one of the most intense and exciting matches played against the Wilkes'. volleyball team this season. Before the game against Miseri, the Lady Colonels were supposed to travel to Delaware Valley and play the Aggies of Delaware Valley, but many players had trouble getting out of their classes and tests scheduled on that day. Since the volleyball team is small this year, Coach Doris Saracino had no choice but to call Delaware Valley's coach, explain the problem and cancel the game. Misericordia came to the gym on Thursday all fired-up and burning with the determination to try and hand Wilkes its third loss. It looked • like that was going to be the case when Miseri took the first game 15- 9. Misericordia was hitting all over the court with its powerful hitters which astonished Wilkes' defense. Wilkes had to do something, and that was to start pounding Miseri's defense and start hustling. The Lady Colonels got together and took the last three games and the match . Scores were 15-13, 15-6, and 15-13. As a total, Wilkes had 57 kills (spikes) in 143 attempts, as compared to Miseri's 27 kills out of 99. Wilkes had not only four hitters this time,lmt five, with the addition of Debbie Kramer who proved that she can smash the ball. Not only was Kramer doing the sets, but she contributed 11 kills. The other four hit- ters were: Jennifer Golding with 14 whomping kills; Ellen Van Riper and Sally Fisher each pounded 10 kills; and Cathy Lee contributed to the cause with 9 kills. In service aces it was Jennifer Golding and Terry Miller with seven apiece. Cathy Lee balanced out her abilities by adding 6 aces. Totally, Wilkes had 25 service aces and their opponent had 20 service aces. With this win, the team's overall record is 9-2. They are still undefeated in the North-eastern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference with a 3-0 record . The only match left for this division is against crosstown rival King's College. That game is scheduled for next Wednes- · day, Oct. 20, at Wilkes at 7 p .m. �BEA CON SPORTS WilkesCollege Student Newspaper Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Vol.XXXV No. 7 October 15, 1981 Hooters Snap Losing Strea • The two year, 28-game winless streak came to an end on Oct. 6 for the soccer team as they upended Juniata in a very physical match by a 2-1 score. Both Colonel goals were set up by Scot Lefebre's 40 yar_d throw-ins. Senior goalie Bob Bmggcworth leaps high to make a spccta.cular save against the Moravian GrcyhoWlds. These throws were relayed to Jim Hancharick who tallied his first two goals of the 1982 season. Also receiving assists on the plays were Greg Losier and Drew Wilkens. Elated senior co-captain , Lefabre commented, '' Afte'r suffering through that 28 game winless streak I hap almost forgotten what it felt like to win. It is &reat to experience that feel ing agai n. ' Although much satisfaction and pleas ure was gained by the victory, the Colon els played a m uch better brand of soccer against the Moravian Greyhounds in front of a very enthusiastic Homecoming crowd. By the end of the second overtime over 200 spectators were on hand. Wilkes had set out to avenge last year 's 11 -0 . defeat suffered at Moravian during their Homecom ing. This year's match ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw. Moravian scored at 21 :28 of the first half as their striker beat Colon el, Bob Bruggeworth, on a shot along the endline that scored between Bruggeworth and the near pole. The Greyhounds ball control allowed them to dominate much of , the action in the first half. During intermission, the coaching staff adjusted the Colonel strategy to off-set the Greyhounds' style of play . Assistant Coach Kelly Noseworthy explained, "They _p!a;:«:d into our hands in the second hall. Our continual tracking and defensive pressure too k its toll on them , and Moravian lost their patience and composure. We took them out of thei r pattern of play .'' Wilkes knotted the score in the second half when freshman Greg Trapani received a Lefebre cross at the 25 yard line and sent a blooping ball over the Greyhound keeper . . Although the visitors dominated the statistics with 33 shots to the Colonels' seven , many of their shots were not of a dangerous nat ure. Keeper 8ruggeworth recorded 20 saves during the game. Corner kicks were five to three in favor of th.e Greyhounds . . This year the defense has only allowed 14 goals compared to the 4 3 relinquished last year against ~he same opponents . A major factor has been the consistent play of fullbacks Tim Williams , Drew Wilkens, Paul O'Leary and Chris Fox. Backing up these fullbacks is Bruggeworth in goal. Bruggeworth is continually supplying numerous saves as well as long attacking releases. " After going 0 -14 last season, it is great to be a part of a team that is capable of winning,'' remarked sophomore Tim Williams.

Co-ed Headed For Nationals by Ellen Van Riper A national championship. It is a dream which few athletes are ever fortunate enough to have the chance to fulfill , and it is an elusive reality which only a chosen few are able to achieve. Beth Latini, a freshman member of this year's Lady Colonel volleyball team, has earned the opportunity to fulfill this dream . No, the volleyball team is not so fortunate; it can be considered as her ' other' sport . Beth and her partner Tammy Hajjar will be traveling to the state of Washington to compete for the national women's amateur racquetball doubles title. The competition will be held October 21 -24. The winners here will move on to London for the world championships. Racquetball is a far cry from volleyball and softball ( the other sport she hopes to participate in at Wilkes), and her story is both interesting and amazing. I would be tempted to entitle it ' 'The Beth Latini Story; Born to Be a Racquetball Player, Volleyball Player, ... etc." Her relationship with the sport of racquetball began when she was 13 years old. Bob DiMarco, her father's cousin, opened the King of Prussia Racquetball Club in her home town of King of Prussia, Pa . On the staff at the time was the United States Racquetball Association (USRA) Pennsylvania chairperson, who served as the general manager, and two professional players. Beth credits DiMarco with getting her hooked on the game and one of the pros, Francis Davis, with teaching it to her. At first racquetball was just another sport to play, but it soon became serious business . After one month of playing, Beth won the USRA Regional Girls 14 and under championship. From then on,it was one success after another in both singles and doubles competition. Some of the highlights of her sinf les career have been the Women s Professional Racquetball Association (WPRA) B Division title in New York, a fourth place finish at the Center City Spots Club Tournament in Philadelphi, and a first place finish at the Newtown Racquetball Club Championships. · In doubles she has had success with both Tammy and her mixed doubles partner Bob Davis. Beth and ~ob have won both the King of Prussia Best of the East Tournament and the in-house open. Beth has teamed with Tammy to capture the title at that same inhouse open and to most recently win the 1982 Pennsylvania Stl!te Doubles Championships Women ' s A Division title. This, according to Beth , has been the "biggest ' · accomplishment of her career, for it earned her the all expenses paid to Washington state and the national championships. Athletics have always been a focal point of Beth's life, and she is what · might be called a ''natural athlete.'' She is a graduate of Archbishop John Carrol High School for Girls, and there she played both soccer and softball. Beth was one of the pioneers of the school's first ever soccer team , and she earned a varsity letter in both her jnuior and senior years. She played softball all four years and received a letter all four . In her jun ior year Beth was a co-captain of the team, and in her senior year she was named as the thirdbaseman of the All-Catholic Second Team. So where do Wilkes College and vollevball fit in? There were three factors which influenced Beth to come to Wilkes ; tl}e fact that the present general manager of the King of Prussia Racquetball Club is a Wilkes graduate, Coach Nancy Roberts and the softball team , and the reputation of the Biology Department. The last tiine Beth played organized volleyball was in seventh and eighth grade (she naturally made All-Star both years), so she came to the Lady Colonel team relatively inexperienced. She decided to give it a try. because she wanted to experience upper level volleyball and mas· ter th e skills . the faculty whom she describes as professors who treat students like individual people and who have the ability to relate to students on a human level. Beth call~ the volleyball team "one big family," and she was instantly adopted the first day of practice. Although she does not . play very much, Beth is still a crucial member of the team. She is a buoyant and exuberant person, and she keeps the team's moral afloat. Her humor and happy-go-lucky attitude always keeps the team on an emotional high . She also enters the game in key situations wh~n a certain Sports Editor has had difficulty in serving the ball. Beth always responds to the pressure and sends over a dynamite serve. She says that she thrives on pressure , and the more there is the better. Her optimism and exuberance are evident in her comments about the team . Beth says that the team ''plays so well that we can compensate for someone having a bad day. There is always .someone who picks up the slack .'' Accordi!).g to Beth, the team relationship among the members and the willingness and desire will bring the Lady Colonels to the top. So far, Beth has been impressed by both the College and the team. She is a real "people person," and it has been the people associated with the College who have impressed her most. Chief among these are ·Right now Beth considers her education to be her number one priority. Racquetball is an outlet for an over abundance of energy .

Urban explained that ' ' by the time this was discovered the carpet was floating on a cush ion of water.' ' The carpeting had just been installed, but it did not have to be replaced. However, professional cleaners did have to be called in and the entire area disinfected. The bulk of the cost lies in the fact that five large trash containers, costing $64.20each,disappeared before the end of the dance. Talenti stated that Genetti explained that if it weren't for the $231 cost of th~e cans, he would not have bothered to inform the school of the damages. Genetti reported that the total cost of the vandalism is $497.85. It was also said that Genetti told the group that he wishes SG Homecoming committee would pay the entire bill or nothing at all; he does not want to be offered half or any part of the total amount. The disappearance of five rather large heavy cans has raised some questions about security. The policy at Genetti's at t~e time of the dinner dance was that an organization renting a hall must supply its own security. "Our biggest gripe,'' explained Urban, "is why didn't security see people walking off with these large containers?" The company that was hired, The Detective Intersec Agency, claim that they remained at the dance until the appointed time. However, Urban stated that an employee of Genetti's saw no security in the building at the end of the dance. No decision has been made yet on whether or not the Homecoming Committee will pay for the damage. Urban stated that she thinks other establishments in the area would look more favorably on the school if they paid the bill. However, she also expressed her reticence at using money from other student activities. It was also suggested that if the trash containers could be found and returned to Genetti's, the bill could be lessened or forgotten. Talenti said that he really doubts that this incident will have any effect on the school policies involving social functions held off campus. ''There are always damages and some vandalism at these functions. What made this one worse was the expensive trash containers.''

Touted in local papers as "the star witness for the prosecution," Walter Placek's testimony and cooperation with the FBI were key factors in the conviction of Elmer Weiskerger, Robert Clapps and Adam Hudock on charges of criminal conspriacy, bribery in official and political matters and violation of the Public Officials Ethics Act. According to Placek, between January 1 and March 25, 1980, the trio acted together to offer him, in his capacity as a Wyoming Area school director; job security for his wife, Barbara, in return for favorable votes at school board meetings. The three defendants were arrested last November on charges stemming from a two-year investigation involving the FBI and the attorney general's office. Deputy Attorney General William I. Arbuckle acted as prosecutor when the case went to trial in September of this year. A member of the Wyoming Area school board since 1975, Placek explained that at the time of his election to the board, he belonged to a four-man minority that generally opposed the policies of the five member majority. He abandoned his opposition stance in May of 1976. At that time, he and two other minority members joined an eight member coalition in response to a district budget crisis. Not long after Placek's move on the board, his wife gained employment at Valley Crest Nursing Home. In 1978, she was made director of Program Development. In November 1979, a school board election took place and four new members were elected. This reduced the 8 to 1 majority to 5 to 4. According to Placek, these four members were associated with Robert Clapps, who was a borough councilman. Placek stated that Clapps, Weiskerger and Hudock decided that with four of their associates on the school board , and his wife working for a county-run institution, they could influence his voting decisions . In return for job security for his wife, Placek was asked, by the . trio, to side with the four member Clapps faction which wanted to hire the assistant district attorney as solictor and to replace the district architect. The attempts to sway Placek's voting were unsuccessful. In June of 1980, Mrs. Placek was removed from her position at Valley Crest. She presently has a federal court case pending stating that she was dismissed from her job because of politics. Walter Placek Placek decided t,p contact the Scranton office of the FBI, and afterwards, agreed to assist with an investigation. Phone monitors were put on Placek's phone to tape all calls between members of the trio and himself, and Placek wore a NAGRA body microphone and tape system to su~sequent meetings with the three. A four day trial took place recently during which the attornies defending the three men took the position that Placek sought out Clapps, Hudock and Weiskerger when he realized his political future was in jeopardy. They contended that the body and phone taps were turned over to the FBI to assist in his wife's civil suit. After a 3.5 hour deliberation , the jury turned in a verdict of guilty. Clapps, Hudock and Weiskerger face possible jail terms of up to 19 years each and fines up to $120,000. Placek explained ·that the defendents are appealing this decision and cannot be sentenced unless they lose their first appeal. Afterwards, they can continue to appeal if they so desire. �Page 2, The Beacon, Oct ober 29, 1982 IRHCllfee ting CashPrizesto be Award by Rebecca Whitman The annual IRHC /CC sponsored Halloween Party was discussed at the Sunday IRHC meeting. , The party will be held at the gym and will run from 9 p.in. to l a .m.

Wilke• Graduate "Collected" Views Continued from page 1 by Andrea Hincken A Wilkes College student's art piece was recently given to a member of Parliament. Right Hrmorable Norman St. John Stevas, minister of art, from England, while here to speak for the convocation celebration in September, saw the student's art piece of the Manhatten Skyline on display in Stark Lobby . Liking the piece, St. John Stevas inquired about purchasing it from the artist. He talked to President Capin about the matter. who in turn went to the Art Department. It was decided that the school would purchase the art piece from the student . Before his departure, St. John Stevas was given the piece as a gift from the school. Marie McCoog, who graduated in .May with a B.A. in Art, did the piece recently in Dr. Fullers Fabric Art class. The piece, an appJique collage, is of the Manhatten Skyline. It wass created with the help of a sewing machine and glue . McCoog, a certified art leader, is "thrilled" by the entire experience. She stated that St. John Stevas plans to exhibit the art in the . modern art room of his country home. She further stated that he has collected art works from all over the world and it is "an honor to have my_picture hanging there."

Nelligan said he had met frequently in the past with the presidents of local colleges and had been told that their schools could survive if funding for 1983 was held at 1981 levels. Nelligan explained that there was a difference between the budget proposals that he supported and the actual amounts of money appropriated to educational programs. He said there was actually an increase in funding during 1981 and 1982. "That's simply not the truth," responded Harrison, a political science professor at King's College . Harrison cited the actual Congres-· sional bills and the reduction totals ani:1 ~,iid that more than a half billion dolla';-s had been removed" from grant and loan programs. In his rebuttal, Nelligan read a letter sent to him by Wilkes President Robert S. Capin. The letter expressed Capin's support and appreciation for the Congressman's work. · Nelligan also expressed his support for tuition tax credits to individuals who attend private schools He said he believes this may even tually spur the nation 's · public school systems to instityte changes and reforms to correct their "deterioration.'' Harrison said that the question of tuition tax credits is a moot point because the ZUnited States Su preme Court has declared them unconstitutional. �Pa e 4, The Beacon, October 29, 1982 To the Editor: Editor's Corner This Thursday the Academic Standards Committee will once again recommend to the Wilkes faculty a proposal that has been jumping from ''official'' to ''non-official'' status for the past two years. The proposal , actually printed in the Wilkes College 19 81-8 2 Handbook, was declared a dead-letter policy, and is once again surfacing amidst mixed feelings of support and objections on the part of faculty and students. As stated in the aforementioned Handbook, the policy is as follows : " No major examination may be given during the last five class days preceding final examinations without the approval of the department chairman and the Dean of Academic Affairs. Routine quizzes are not prohibited during the final week of classes." According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen , this prohibition met with objections from some faculty members, and that the faculty members claim that the proposal was actually voted upon and rejected last semester. However, nowhere in the minutes of past faculty meetings does this vote appear. Because of the faculty members' objections, and the minor controversies surrounding the proposal's official status, the policy was not enforced last year. Nonetheless, the need for the "no-testing" policy has not disappeared, and the proposal retains support from concerned students and others. Hartdagen, Chairman of the Wilkes Academic Standards Committee, noted that he fully supports the policy and can see no real reason why it should not become officially recognized. Other members of the committee, both students and faculty members agree; the policy apparently has been initiated at other colleges with no adverse effects. The student representatives to the Academic Standards Committee, Cindy Bonham and Dan Talenti, will present this fact along with students' viewpoints on the subject at Thursday's faculty meeting to try to win support for the policy once again. It is conceivable that some faculty members may object to the policy for two reasons. First, they may question the need for the extra reading week which would in effect be produced if the policy should be passed. Secondly as one member of the faculty noted, they may object to the proposal if they are inclined to give comprehensive final examinations; when this is the case, many professors feel it is necessary to give separate tests on each section of material covered, and if tests were to be eliminated the final week, no separate test before the comprehensive final could be given for the last part of the course. The objections seem small, however, when one considers students' feelings on the subject. Tests given during the last week of classes often become more than just a nuisance to the student; they often seriously inhibit overall study time. At a time when most students are writing papers, preparing for final exams, and planning travel routes home, an added test can be an added burden and an added worry. In the discussion that will undoubtedly ensue on Thursday, it is hoped that the faculty members who object to the policy think back to their own undergraduate years, and remember th~ir own past semesters' " final weeks ." Perhaps they then will understand more fully the students' desires to see the ''no-testing'' proposal once more put into effect.

In response to Dr. O 'N eill's address in yo ur last issue, I felt it necessary to comment on behalf of the Student Government. Dr. O'Neill opened his letter by commenting on the "disappointing and destructive behavior " of Student Government in regard to publicity for publicity for Story Theatre . In a phove conversation with Dr. O 'N eill , he stated we (S.G.) were "overstepping our bounds" by removing his posters. I would like to bring to your attention Wilkes-Barre City Ordinance N o. 6 Section 1 7 which states: "No person shall post or affix any notice, poster or other paper device , calculated to attract the attention of the public to any lamp post, public utility pole or shade tree, or upon public structure or building, except as any be authorized or required by law." Any concerned and responsible mem ber of th f' Student Body would not have stappled posters to a living tree . Or. O'Neill also stated that there is not hing in the Wilkes College Handbook in relation to Pl!blicity for on campus . I do not feel it is necessaary to print City Ordinances in the Handbook . • Also stated in his article was the fact that S.G. does not know the Pastian Kerchusky Responds On Behalf Of Student Government differen ce between a club and a departmental activity. Apparently Dr. O'Neill was not listening to me when I told h im on the phone that we are not under the impression that Cue and Curtain and Theatre Arts are one and the same. Once again, Dr. O 'Neill must not have been listening and neglected to mention in his article the fact Termed l that I gave him names and of S.G. reps that would be wi to help him with his publicity. In his address Dr. O'Neill s that he feels it is more than co· de nee that the Story Theatre ba was "ripped down" and in exact spot, the sheet for Hom ing King and Queen was ~ I spoke to the S.G. rep who hun the sheet and he said that our was put on a different panel~ cafeteria and the Story Th banner was still intact when was hung.

W C L H er will I say anything about Three Mile Island, because after all, it could have gone infinitely much worse.

Waste in the form of plutonium: a highly radioactive substance, essential ia the production of nuclear explosivr devices . The amount of fuel spent in a 1000 megawatt light water reactor would yield approximately 250 kilograms of plutonium per year. That would be sufficient to manufacture about 15 nuclear bombs. (Every year!). This plutonium would further have to be shipped to designate storage areas via truck!

Today the focus is local in the hope that some will be inspired to action - hopefully positive. Some time ago , in the wake of the Plymouth voting scandal, the Philadelphi.a Inquirer ran an article calling Plymouth the crookedest little town in the country. At the same time, some suggested that the Inquirer's statement was hyperbolic. I believe that it was a gross understatement. In the Plymouth vote scheme, many of those on that town's council were convicted of voting · irregularities. For that crime, all were given mere slaps on the wrists, thus ending credence to the belief that one can violate the ci vii rights of others in this valley and get away with it. More recently, voter fraud has been uncovered in Pittston. From all accounts in the media, it would appear that Ron Mortimer was robbed of the_elect_ion by an incredi hi v by Stephen K. Urbanski andJamesJ. Haggarty, Jr. at may be the most imporpolitical event of this decade place this Tuesday. By this, mean, of course, the mid-term ns of Ronald Reagan's ncy. A critical decision will from these elections: either ters will continue to stay the blican course, or they will to turn back to the rats for solutions. After a look at the issues and caninvolved, here are the men believe deserve your vote on nday. the race that strikes closest to , "Conservative Comment" rm Congressman James an over his Democratic opt, Attorney Frank Harrison . man Nelligan, elected to term in 1980, has become of the most influential en congressmen due to his grecord on key issues, and his bility to his constituents. man Nelligan has been a supporter of the economic that have brough inflation under control, interest rates and insiduously corrupt Democratic machine. In short , it was Plymouth revisited. We doubt very seriously if those involved in this latest scandal will receive any harsher penalties if, in fact , they are convicted at all. Another scandal which is currently receiving a good deal of attention in the local media and in Harrisburg is the Wyoming Area School Board affair. It has been alleged previously that teaching jobs in many of the local school districts were for sale - that one had to be prepared to pay to get a teaching job. In addition, it would appear that one's political persuasion had to be in line with those of the powers that be. Now , it seems, if one is a member of the school board itself, you have to be exceptionally careful of how you vote lest your wife, son, relative, or close friend lose his or her job. This has been proved the case at least in the Wyoming Area School District and I suspect that the practice is more widespread than· anyone would care to admit. To top off the Wyoming Area fiasco, I saw a member of the down to realistic levels, and laid the groundwork for a strong economic recovery. This, by itself, merits his re-election, but there is more. Nelligan's close ties to his constituents have enabled him to aid even the smallest concern of his district, while -never losing sight of national goals . There is a sound ring of truth in the Nelligan slogan that "Nobody works harder . . . fo r you . Nelliga n's opponent , Frank Harrison, an amiable fellow himself, has shown a keen a bility to recognize the problems of his would-be constituents, but a lack of ability in coming up with workable solutions. His campaign is based on criticism of our current economic woes, yet beyond this point, his criticism is based on little substance with which to solve any of our problems. All in all, we find Congressman Nelligan deserving of a second term in the House cif Representatives . In the Governor's race, our full support falls behind incumbent Governor Richard Thornburgh. The sheer volume of Thornburgh's accomplishments is overwhelming. LuLerne County Board of Com111i~sioners take the fifth in questioning related to this jobs-for-votes scandal. Wh at does he have to hide? Do we really want to be represented by this type of individual? The Valley Sanitary Authority membership has been shown to be taking junkets for which no receipts are tendered and for which no accounting is requested. As usual, the taxpayer picks up the tab. Apparently, the ruckus raised by a local newspaper on the subject has prompted the State Auditor to look into the matter. Will anything come of an investigation? Sadly, I think not. The list of corruption, shady deals, graft, et similia is seemingly endless : the Hanover School District shady building contract deals, the Luzerne Intermediate Unit patronage, hiring practices of all local government agencies. the Pittston vote · scam, the Plym outh vote mess, junketeering by local administrators, ad nauseam . The Wyoming Valley is dying. The average age of the populatioP of the area continues to rise . Young people who get the opportunity He has :-outed out corruption at the state level, and restored respectability to the governorship and to the state of Pennsylvania. He has saved the state billions of dollars due to a tough, but fair welfare reform program. He has begun an ambitious program to rebuild Pennsylvania's highways, which had been neglected during the Shapp administration . Governor Thornburgh has worked hard to bring industry to Pennsylvania, and he has also been instrumental in aiding industry already in the state, both small and large. All of this he has accomplished with budgets that have been balanced , and passed with a minimum of fiscal chaos, which, under Milton Shapp, had become a state tradition. Allen Ertel, Thornburgh's op- · ponent, has served six unim pressive years in Congress . His campaign is based on exploitation of current problems, and has often bordered on the absurd. Ertel went as far as to blame the George Banks' killings on Governor Thornburgh. He has continually misrepresented the Thornburgh administration in an effort to win votes. This is not the type of candidate who should occupy the governor's mansion. Undoubtedly, Dick Thornburgh is well deserving of a second term. In the race for U.S. Senate, senior Senator John Heinz is opposed by Cyril Wecht. We have been disappointed by Heinz's voting record on national issues, for he has strayed from the conservative fold . Yet his accomplishments for the state are well documented, and we are comfortable in our endorsement of the senator. His opponent, Dr .

In. addition, unemployment in the valley continues to skyrocket in the wake of the myriad of plant closings in the area. If this trend continues, what we will have here is an area of unemployed, old people, represented by crooked pols. ,Unfortunately , to save this area, a complete turn of attitudes will be necessary. People will have to learn to give - instead of take. Learn to vote for competence instead of crookedness and how much the crooked politician can do for one's own little burg. In short, a 180 degree change in attitudes that have had their hold on this area since its beginnings is needed. Can the valley be saved? I don't think so. Please prove me wrong!

Actually, it's the Great Rock Scare. They'll be providing the music at the CC-IRHC Halloween Party on Friday, October 29. by Melissa S. Meyers Scientifically Speaking Love Over Gold Dire Straits Warner Brothers by Stephen Badman I guess it is inevitable ; the synthesizer is here to stay in Rock. M-TV reported that Neil Young is coming out with a new album using synthesizers for the first time. I cannot imagine Young doing a syn thesizer rendition of " Mr. Soul." Pete .Townshend said that in 10 years there will be no more electric guitars. I hope that does not happen . For the first time, Dire Straits brings in Ed Walsh on synthesizer. Fortunately, the electric sounds are used moderately. Thank you Dire Straits. The synthesizer is used mainly on this album for long , sustained background sounds. The synth is very much like a second bass and is used to create a mood. Never in the album does the syn thesizer pick up the melody nor For everything there is a season , and ~ight now that season is autumn. Besides being the time of our first vacation, we consider fall to be the time of man y strange, though familiar , phenomena. The leaves turn colors, the sap is running, animals (especially bears) prepare to hibernate as the sun gets farther away and the weather grows colder. Well , not exactly ... The events of autumn are often taken for granted. They are unex plained or explained incorrectly . For instance, it is widely believed that during the fall the green pigment of leaves is changed or covered up by new pigment that is red , orange or yellow. In actuality, there is no color added to the fall leaves. Rather , their color change is a result of the removal of the green pigment , revealing other colors beneath. When photosynthesis stops docs Walsh get to jam. lnstea·d. the "six-string switc hblade" of Mark Knopfler gets to do all the cutting . "Long live Rock " Juitar. Love Over Col consists of five · songs. one of which , "Telegraph Road, " is more than 14 minutes long. All in all, there are about 41 minutes of music so do not feel ripped off when you buy the album . So what does Love Over Gold mean ? Good question. Perhpas the lyric from the title cut tells the tale: It takes love over gold and mind over matter to do what you do that you must, when die things that you hold can fall and be shattered or run through your fingers like dust. Let's say that Mr. Knopfler is not too pleased . with the situation of things in England. Though this i•: far from a concept album, there is a in the fall , the chlorophyll is the green pigment , and its removal makes visible the leaf's actual color. This explanation also disproves the frequent claim that autumn leaves are discolored by frost . It is the absence of chloroph yll that leads to the change in color. Another myth concerning fall is that of ''running sap.'' Sap does not run in the same way that we say blood does, but it does fall during the latter days of autumn . The ascent of sap (water carrying nutrients for the tree' s growth) is due, in large part , to the cohesive forces of the water. In other words, water molecules forming columns in the tree develop a certain tension from the top to the bottom of the tree. Thus, water movement takes place throughout. With •he cessation of photosynthesis , not as much water is used, disturbing the tension halance at the top of the tree. Whrn this balance is no longer main• in theme running -through it loosely. The song, "Industrial Disease," iells about factory workers who are collecting un employment checks when they would rather work. "Telegraph Road " tells the same story with the lines: "I used to like work but they shut it down / I' ve got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found .'' Apparently, in England , somebody is valuing gold over love and the workers are bearing the brunt of the greed. As for the music, the album is a very professional work . Knopfler has done a nice job on all the.songs. A 14 minut\! song can get out of hand , but Knopfler never loses con trol of ''Telegraph Road.'' I would not be surprised if people in the fut ure refer to this song as a classic Rock song like "Layla" or "Stairway to Heaven .' ' It is not a hard rock song, but more like the long jam in ·"Layla.'' "Industrial ed, fhe sap yields to gravity and falls. There is a practical reason for the movement of the sap from the top to the roots. If the sap , with its heavy water content . remained in the tree trunk when temperatures reached the freezing point , the sap would expand, causing the tree to "burst .''. In the roots , however , the sap is insulated by the ground , and such expansion will not occur . It is also thought that bears spend fall preparing for hibern ation. This can ' t be true , since bears don ' t hibernate. Hibernation is more than simply a long winter's nap. It involves a drop in temperature 2.nd slowing of the metabolic act ivities. A hibernating animal differs from a dormant one in that the former can arouse itself without external heat sources . Bears , however , neither hihernate nor go dormant. They do gn into hiding and sleep for a long rx:riod of time, but their body tem p ,·r: 11 urcs do not drop sharplv. 'iomc- Disease" is a very rocking song like " Solid Rock " from Dire Straits' last album. In fact, the three songs on side two are really rockers, while side one is mellower music with "Telegraph Road " and the haunt ing '' Private In vestigations.'' Love Over Gold means something to me. Since the shortest song is five minutes, I can tell that this album was not meant to be a commercial gold mine. Songs for commercial play are designed to be around three minutes long. So it seems that Dire Straits has other intentions than making a chart-buster. I helieye Knopfler and the band are out to make ·good music , music with quality and something to say. That is nice to see in an industry that is known for money grabhers who ruin the image of ·competent artists.

Later, he was a Political Analyst and Deputy Chief of the Government in Berlin, Germany. "The Romance of Words, " under different headings covers the ex· tensive fields of linguistics, phi!· ology, etymology, semantics .and the like. There are many specific subjects all of which stress the varied aspects of the question of Jang· uage. In his many lectures, Dr. Meyers presents a series of ordinary words, explains their origin and shows how they reflect the past history of man on this planet, his activities, his thoughts, his moments of conhision, his hopes and his fears. · He d.so discusses and illustrates vivid- ly the vital questions o( what is correct in language.

It began as a Ce! tic that marked the end of the and was seen as a day of . October 31 was the eve of year in Celtic and Anglotimes and it was on this day and tenures were renewed. Celts associated November 111 with the beginning of the darkest, most unproductive and barren half of the year. Because of this, the autumn festival acquired a strange· ly·sinister significance. It came to be associated with witches, ghosts, demons, goblins and other demonic characters. The Celts, their flocks and herds had to be protected from these satanic influences, so the autumn festival came to be devoted to appeasing the supernatural pow· ers that controlled nature. The autumn festival also was seen as an ideal time for divinations concerning marriage, luck, health an d various other aspects of life. This was considered the only day that it was permissible to call on the devil to help with such things. Halloween, as we know it, with the jack-o·lanterns, costumes and trick-or-treating, was introduced to the United States by immigrants . It did not attain its present popularity until late in the 19th century. by Donna Nitka Can you imagine how confusing it ' would be to go to sleep on October 4 and wake up on October 15? Well, that's what happened 400 years ago during the transition from the Julian calendar, the one devised by Julius Caesar, to the Gregorian calendar, the one in use oday. · Due to an error iri the Julian system, three extra days were being added every four hundred years. This may not s~em like much, but, over the centuries, these days accu• mulated . This ·resulted in a regression of the date of the vernal equinox and the first day of spring, from March 21 to March 11. In an effort to correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII assembled a committee, comprised of eminent astronomers, clergymen and mathematicians, to devise a new calendar system . The committee found that by eliminating leap days in centurial years that are not perfectly divisible by four, such as 1700, 1800 and 1900, they could curb the drifting of the date of the equinox and thus keep the date of the first day of spring on, or near, March 21. They also decided to eliminate 1O days in the year 15 82 to restore the date of the equinox to March 21. October was chosen as the month during which the transition from th(' old calendar to the new would take place . Consequently 10 days were elim inated from the month . Each date in the Gregorian calendar repeats in a cycle of 400 years. This means that every date in 1583 will be repeated in 1983 . On Friday, October 15, the calendar will mark its 400th anniversary with the completion of its first cycle.

Val. hy Chris Baron The Colonels recently lost their fifth and sixth games to MAC front runners Juniata and Delaware Valley . Two weeks ago, while most of the College was enjoying Fall Break, the Wilkes gridders fell to Juniata 34-7. The game was played before a crowd of only 250 people at Ralston Field. The Colonels stayed close to firstplaced Juniata until the final moments of the contest. Down 20-0, with eight minutes remaining, Reserve Quarterback Randy Rice took the Colonels 70 yards for a quick score. The touchdown on a I <>-vard aerial from Rice to Freshman Wingback Mike Higgins. Wilkes then got the ball back and put together another drive. With four minutes on the clock, the Colon, :ls found themselves at the ,uni- ata 30. The Colonels' hopes tor a victory were dashed when Juniata Defensive Back Grady Paul intercepted a Rice pass at the 20 and returned it to the Wilkes 14. A few plays later Juniata moved in for the score. The Colonels lost . more than the game against Juniata. Senior Ouarterback Wayne Lonstein and t resh man Tackle Mark Rhodes sustained injuries which will put them out for the season. Last Saturday Wilkes suffered its worst beating of the 82 campaign, 43 -0. at the hands of Delaware Valley. Wilkes never got on track against the powerful AJU?ies . The sputtering Colonel offense could only manage 15 3 total yards, while the Wilkes defense did little to stop the balanced Aggie attack. The remainder of the Colonels' schedule consists of Johns Hop- kins, F.D .U.-Madison and Albright. Unsworth said he knows that victory won't come easy for his battle-weary Colonels. He commented, "By God, we're hurting; our starting right wingback , left wing, fullback and quarterback are out.' ' Unsworth continued, '' If we are going to win, we are going to need a ... super effort out of everyone.'' At 15 straight, the Colonels currently have the longest losing streak among Division III football teams. Despite this fact, the Colonels remain confident. Senior Defensive Tackle Loris Lepri, who has seen four straight losing seasons at Wilkes , assessed his team 's chances: "I've always believed that you can win any game. Our problem is that we've been a firsthalf team . We' re going to have to be a second-half Learn as well.'' Bombs Away.

Lady Colonel Tennis Team Ends Season With Will by Ellen Van Riper The Lady Colonel tennis team ended its 1982 regular season the same way in which it began, with a victory. The Wilkes women blanked Baptist Bible 9-0 at Kirby on October 23. Earlier in the week on October 20. the Lady Colonels dropped a 4-2 decision to cross-town rival King's College. In this match the doubles competition was cancelled due to cold weather . The ladies ' final overall record is 2-10. The match apinst King 's was played at King s, and the Lady Colonels got off to a good start. They won the first two singles matches, and it appeared as if they would beat the Lady Monarchs for the second time this season. ln the first singles match Lady Colonel freshman Cress Shallers defeated Alice Novitsky in straight games, 7-5 and 6-3. The second duel saw another Wilkes freshman , Jennifer Bris- coe, easily hanclle her King's opponent. She defeated Patti Williams in two games by identical 6-1 scores. From then on, it was all downhill for Wilkes. King's won the . next four singles contests and the match . Lady Colonel Jackie Brown squared off with Lady Monarch Carrie Thorpe in the third singles. It was a close contest as Thorpe edged Brown 7-5 and 7-6. The fourth was also a rather close affair. Wilkes player Annette Winski faced Mary Ring, and she was defeated in two games, 7-6 and 6-4. The fifth singles was the longest battle of the afternoon . Lady Colonel Natalie Sodano and Lady Monarch Catherine Kaminski engaged in a three-game duel. Sodano took the first, 6-4, but Kaminski came back to take the second and third, 6-4 and 6-3. Against the Lady Defenders of Baptist Bible , the Lady Colonels had a chance to release their season long frustrat ions. Everybody came up a winner. Cn·ss Shallers started it off by handilJ defeating Carr of Baptist Bible in tow Bible in two games, 6-1 and 6-0. In the second event Jennifer Briscoe topped Decker in straight games, 6-1 and 6-4. The third ·singles was a bit more interesting as Trish Palys of Wilkes edged Campbell of Baptist Bible 7-5 in the first game and romped in the second, 5-1. The fourth, fifth , and sixth singles were totally dominated by the Lady Colonels. Jackie Brown defeated Lee in identical 6-1 games . Annette Winski almost shut-out Washburn 6-0 and 6-1 , and Natalie Sodano beat Cremall by this same score . In the doubles competition the Lady Colonel tandem of Shallers and Briscoe defeated the Lady Defender pair of Carr and Decker. Wilkes won the other two matches by default.

Finishing fourth for the Colonels was Joe Dill with a time of 2.9 :48. Behind him was fifth finisher Greg Quinn, who was timed at 29: 58.

According to Bellairs, Morpath has been injured recently, and this has hurt the team. Tom is usually a potential fourth or fifth finisher for the Colonels.

Albright came from behind to defeat the Colonels by a 2-1 score while Coach Phil Wingert's squad forced a determined Susquehanna team into double overtime before falling to the Crusaders 1-0. · Against Albright, the Colonel hooters were sluggish and lacked intensity. Wilkes scored first at the 32: 11 mark of the first half on a Bob Walsh tallie. The goal result ed from a shot by Greg Trapani that was going astray until Walsh redirected it past the Albright keeper in the lower left-hand corner of the net. Just minutes after the goal, junior stopperback Drew Wilkens dispossessed an Albright midfielder apd ·unleased a 25 yard ballistic that was destined for the upper left-hand corner of the goal but a diving save by the Albright goalie prevented the score. The second half belonged to the Albright team who dominated the play as the Colonels lost their composure and failed to follow their plan of attack. Both Albright goals were . a result of defensive breakdowns. At 1 7: 10 of the second half, an Albright shot rebounded off Wilkes keeper , Bob Bruggeworth, and it was followed· up into the net by an unmarked oncoming Albright attacker. Less than 3 minutes later a Wilkes defender attempted to clear the ball from the penalty area· only to have it hit a flinching Albright player and the rebound defleeted into the Wilkes goal.

Lady Colonels Clinch MAC Tourney Berth by Karen Bo\'e The Wilkes volleyball team accomplished a lot over the past week and a half. The ladies played five matches and only lost one. During this time, the Lady Colonels won the Northeastern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference . They also won the local league, the NPWIAA (Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association), and broke the record for most wins in a season with 13 overall. The old record was 12. The Lady Colonels started out the week with a home match against Luzerne County Community College on October 11 . The ladies stomped right over LCCC with scores of 15-3, 15-0, and 15 -0. Throughout the game .Wilkes relied upon service aces tu win the match. Jennifer Golding had an astonishing 15 service aces. Also, Ellen Van Riper did well on her serves; she had nine aces·. Cathy Lee added seven. Wilkes then travelled to Selingsgrove to meet Susquehanna Uni versity on October 14. Wilkes had played and defeated Susquehanna earlier in the season, but this time the Lady Crusaders were more than ready. ,, In a very close and intense match, Wilkes pulled out the match in the last game with a score of 16-14.· Wilkes was trailing 14-9, but held Susquehanna and went on to win. The scores were 8-15 (SU), 15 -7 (Wilkes), 4-15 (SU), 15 -10 (Wilkes) and 16-14 (Wilkes). Wilkes was forced to use almost . all of their hitters. Leading the way was Ellen Van Riper with 12 kills. Jennifer Golding contributed nine. Debbie Kramer aided the 'cause with eight, and rounding out the rest were Cathy Lee and Sally Fisher with seven each. Once again Jennifer Golding did her job on service aces with nine. Teresa Miller added seven. On October 20, Wilkes hosted cross-town rival King's College. The Lady Colonels rolled over King's with scores of 15-1, 15 -3, and 15 -10. This win gave the Lady Colonels the Northeastern Division of the MAC . Leading the way in kills were Cathy Lee and Ellen Van Riper with five apiece. Lee also added nine service aces to the cause · to match Jennifer Golding's total of nine. Wilkes hosted Baptist Bible on October 21. The Lady Colonels again had no trouble in handing the opposition a loss. This win gave I •till can't believe that I wi~I be representing the U aited State• at the World Ga.mes. ,, the Lady Colonels another title, the NPWIAA League. This time the Lady Colonels had very little on attack. Most of their points came from service aces . The scores were 15 -0, 15 -12 and 15 -12. The Ladies lost to Moravian College on October 23. The scores were 6-15, 9 -15 and 4-15. The Ladies were just plain tired and showed it in all of their play . The meagre attack was led by Jennifer Golding and Cathy Lee who had five kills each . Golding also ·added six service aces. Even though the Lady Colonels lost to Moravian College , they have accomplished a great deal more than any other volleyball team· has in the history of Wilkes College. They won, for the first time, their division of the MAC; this victory automatically qualifies them for the MAC playoffs to be held at Dickenson College on November 5 and 6. They also won the local league. title. This makes it three in a row. Finally , they broke the record for most wins in a season ." The overall record stands at 13-3.
