Yonemura visited the Wilkes Commerce and Finance Depart· ment last year, at which time he was invited to participate in the symposium .

A banquet will be held the last night of the conference and prizes awarded in categories such as Spirit. To win this, delegations compete against one another in creating cheers and in roll calls. The Wilkes delegation will be working on their cheers during the six-hour drive toGWU. Also available at the conference will be excursions into the city to visit landmarks such as the Smith· sonian Institute, the National Gal· lery and a walking tour of the monu· ments. · When asked if Wilkes would ever hold such a conference, LeBlanc replied that a school must submit a formal plan with estimated costs and a bid, one year before the con ference they wish to hold. They must also have the city's permission to hold such a conference. "I truly doubt Wilkes could hold such a conference; it doesn't have the facilities,'' stated LeBlanc. The cost of the trip was set at $75 for registration, plus approxi· mately $20 for traveling expenses. Thi~ . however . has been reduced ' through IRHC fundraisers to $30 per person and money for food and sight ·seeing. LeBlanc reported IRHC made $270 on its pizzaandcar:1.mel apple fundraisers and hopes to raise more after the conference. Wilkes students attending the conference are: Marge LeBlanc , Stacy Lipman, Naomi Harris, Bill Lourie, Maggie Quinlan, Denise DeAngelo , Mary Rauschmayer, Tod Hogan, Shannon Murphy, Raul Gochez and Colleen Mc· Caughley. The Wilkes gym was the scene of some frightening sights last Friday ·night as students came out for the Halloween party. Freshman Killed In Auto Accident A violent car crash claimed the life of a Wilkes College freshman last Saturday. Henry J. Slusarczyk, a freshman computer science major from Avoca, Pa., and two friends were killed early Saturday morning, October 29. A fourth youth involved in the accident is in guarded condition in the intensive care unit of the Community Medical Center, Scranton. According to the Dunmore State Police, the car Slusarczyk and his friends were in was traveling north on Thornhurst Road, Clifton Township, at an apparent high rate of speed when the driver failed to negotiate a left turn. The vehicle ran off the road. struck several trees, rolled over on its roof and then plunged into the Lehigh River. Pronounced dead on arrival at C.M.C . were Casmir Biesaideski, the driver of the car; Adam Laskowski; and Slusarczyk. The fourth person involved, George Sellock, is still in C.M .C. The son of Henry and Colrina Slusarczyk, Henry was a 1982 graduate of Pittston Area High School. He was a member of the National Honor Society and in the Who's Who of American High School Students. Beside his jnterest in Computer Science, Slusarczyk was a member of the Air Force ROTC . Nine Air Force ROTC Cadets Awarded Scholarships by Candy Marshall Nine Air Force ROTC cadets of Det. 752 recently received scholarships , according to Lt. Col. Bruce L. Burke , professor of Aerospace studies. While many persons apply for four -year scholarships in high school, he said very few recei ve them. Instead , Lt. Col. Burke explained that many of these students are awarded three and a half, three, two and a half, ortwr,-year scholar· ships, "based on actual performance in school (college)." Minimal requirements must be met in order to apply for AFROTC scholarships. Interested students need only fill out required forms with the Air Force officers, get a good physical, take the AFOQT's (similar to SA T's) and have a 2. 5 GPA. Application packages are submit· ted at the end of each semester to a board of eight senior officers. These officers meet at Maxwell Air Force Base , Alabama in order to determ· ine scholarship awards . If a stu· dent is selected , the scholarship is retroactive to the beginning of that semester. Once a student receives a scholar· ship, he must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GP A. Also, he has a four· year commitment to the United States Air Force upon graduation (six years for navigational and se';en years for pilot scholarships, due to the high costs of training). Another relatively new program is the "Hip Pocket " scholarships .. Four to six engineering, navigation· al and technical scholarships are given directly to Lt. Col. Burke and are available to any interested per· son . He has the authority to deter· mine who will receive the· scholar· ships. Twenty-five percent of the 123 persons currently enrolled in AFROTC are on scholarship , Lt. Col. Burke said. He added that four out of the nine cadets who just received scholarships are Wilkes College students. Don Mencl, a junior computer science major and resident assist· ant from Long Valley , NJ , received a pilot scholarship. Mencl said he came to Wilkes for "wrestling, ROTC and academics. Of the col· leges I looked at , Wilkes had what I needed and had high standards in each one , " he said, "Wilkes had the best program for me." Jim Garnett, a junior from Dov· er, Del. received a technical scholar· ship for computer science. In addi· tion to the computer science depart· ment , Garnett said he selected Wilkes because it had ROTC. "I lived my whole life with an Air Force family, " he explained, "so I wanted to pursue that as a career." Joe Dylewski , a junior business administration major from Shaver· town, received a navigational schol· arship, and Al Solomito, a junior pre-med student at Wilkes received a pre-health scholarship. The five students on outlying campuses who received AFROTC scholarships are : Robert A. Pfau, Randolph R. Rompola , Vincent P. Calzola, David M . Kozuch and April C. Edwards. Lt. Col. Burke said, "I definite· ly think the scholarship is an out· standin~ alternative for a young per· Continued on page 3 �Paie 2, The Beacon, Nove'mber 5, 1982 CC Meeting Prince Charming Election Discussed Cinderella Ball ·Dress Discussed by Andrea Hincken This week CC representati~es discussed some of the plans for the 50th Anniversary Ball. The point of this discussion was whether the Ball should be formal or semi-formal. A representative for the 50th Anniversary · Committee proposed that the Ball should be semi-formal with a formal option. . One representative agreed with the proposal and said ·that it would be easier to have it this way mainly because of expense. She pointed out that the Christmas holidays are expensive enough for most people without the added burden of a tuxedo rental. Another representative com mented that there may be a possibility of getting a discount on tuxedos if a large amount of them are rented at once. Further discussion on the matter will take place. The new parking applications will be available around the campus next week . It was stressed by a representative that all completed applications must be mailed into the CC office and postmarked by December 10, 1982. There will be a coffeehouse on Friday \ November 12 in the Con yngham Student Center from 11 a.m . until 2 p.m. The entertainment will be provided by Jim Havley. Before the close of the meeting, CC representatives presented their views on the damages done at Gus Genetti's during the Homecoming Dinner. The point of discussion was that there is a bill from Genetti for almost $500 and, along with it, an ultimatum to either pay the whole bill or forget about ever doing business with him again. Most of the representatives agreed that the bill should be paid Au,ard. Programs nnounced/or1983 by Mike Woll At Monday night's meeting, SG announced that the Cinderella Ball and Prince Charming for the Cinderella Ball will be,~lected much like the Homecoming Court . Ralph Pringle, chairman of the elections committee, announced the method to be used to elect the Cinderella and Prince Charming will have two parts . In the first election, everyone will be able to nominate three men and three women from each class. The second election will have a ballot listing the top . three men and women from each class, and everyone gets to vote for three men and three women out of the 12 listed . The nominated must attend the Cinderella Ball or forfiet the for the sake of the school ' s reputation in the community. One representative said that the bill should be paid but she commented that a lot of the blame should be on the two security guards because throughout the entire even_ing neither one of them saw a thmg . Because of this, and the fact that they left earlier than they should have, the guards may not be _Paid. Mary Ellen Judge , president of CC said that if the bill was not paid the' school may be "black balled, " which means that other businesses in the area would be alerted of the incident . Other representatives said that it was not fair for the school to have to pay the full amount. They said that a compromise should be made because of the ambiguities of the of the night's events. No definite decision has been made on the matter. ''It is only in his work that an artist can find reality and satisfaction, for the actual world is less intense than the world of his invention and consequently his life, without recourse to violent disorder, does not seem very substantial. The NOTICE On Tuesday, November 9 at 7 p.qi. in the Annette Evans Alumni House there will be a joint meeting . of the History Club and the Phi Alpha Theta (National History Honor Society). The primary purpose of the meeting will focus upon a discussion of "American Entry into World War I."

President I.eBlanc recapped the entire incident and then asked for opinions on whether Wilkes should pay the bill. The overwhelming response was that Wilkes should not be responsible unless more solid evidence is presented by Genetti. Lourie then brought up the topic of the parking system. He stated that after a discussion with the man in charge of ticketing and towing ~tudents who park in the incorrect spots , he feels perhaps the present system should be revised in some way . According to Lourie, under the present system, students parked in the correct lot, but the wrong spot within the lot , must be ~cketed and then towed. He suggested this should be changed . LeBlanc reminded Lourie that the present system was not "thought up overnight" and had been discussed a lot last year. Kirk Forman, parking committee cochairman, reported that under the present system, students who discover someone has parked in their spot are to park off campus and then contact the Personnel Department and the other car will be ticketed or towed. President I.eBlanc then announced that it had been decided to continue work on the Hall Presidents Council and the writing of a constitution would begin soon. There was no competition in the voting for Hall of the Month; Hollenback Hall won the title for October . Reporting for Student Center Board, Naomi Harris mentioned that the Junior and Senior Classes would be co-sponsoring a clambake at the Student Center on Friday. Admission to the dance is $1, and one dozen clams cost $1. Raul Gochez, also reporting for the Student Center stated that the board has decided that no one will be allowed to dance on the speakers at Student Center parties. A food committee meeting will be held on Monday, November 8 'in t'1e cafeteria.

The purpose of the program is to provide students with a realistic picture of government processes . In cluded in the program are: an internship, seminars with practitioners in the student's field of interest and structured classroom lectures and discussion.

The Wilkes College Debate Union ushered in its 35th year as an intercollegiate activity with an impressive victory at Clarion State College, Qarion, Pennsylvania. The Public Speaking Unit of "Kinney's Kids" won ten major trophies in a variety of areas of competition. Susan Loveitt won a 5th place finalists trophy in After Dinner Entertainment Speaking. Loveitt, appearing in only her second career tournament, also won a 6th place trophy in the area of Persuasive Orations. She was recognized as the "Outstanding Novice Speaker" in both of these fields . To receive the "Outstanding Novice" award shows that the individual is the best first -year speaker in total competition for that area. Rarely does a team capture more than one "Outstanding Novice" award. Wilkes captured a grand total of four this year. Loveitt's teammate, Donna O'Toole, won a 4th place trophy in the area of Persuasive Orations. New member Walter Shonfield had a superlative record at the Western Pennsylvania Tournament.

I· A_m eri~n ca:_cerSociet~ �Page 4, The Beacon, November 5, 1982 To the•Editor: Editor's Corner If you are a typical commuting student at Wilkes , you have probably paid (including lab fees, health fees , tuition fees, etc.,) nearly $4800 for your education so far this year. If you are a typical residence hall student, you have probably paid nearly $7000 for the 1982-83 academic year thus far. During the course of a four -year program at Wilkes , the average residence hall student will invest nearly $26 ,000 in his college education . At a past faculty meeting , Wilkes ' President Robert S. Capin estimated that students' tuition fees make up nearly ninety percent of Wilkes operating budget. Where does this money go? Part of these funds will support the various student organizations on campus , part will pay for services for the student (such as health care privileges, free student publications, free admission to cultural activities on campus, etc), part is used for merit-or need-based scholarships, and part of these funds will be used to satisfy the demands of an expanding academic community by being allocated to teaching and curriculum. Certainly, part of the operating budget costs of the College also include building and grounds maintenance; the students' money virtually is the foundation of Wilkes College. It makes little sense for the customer to throw away the food he has just paid for; it makes even less sense for a man to beat the dog he intends to professionally show. One hardly can say that it is sensible for a student to pay $260C0to use academic facilities and then destroy those facilities. And it is simply ludicrous that a student would pay that much money to use facilities and then stand passively by to watch someone else destroy them . But that is exactly what is happening. Students are paying increasingly larger tuition bills to use Wilkes' facilities, and at the same time are destroying those facilities for themselves or for others. Vandalism by students on campus (and off) is increasing : at the recently-held Homecoming Dinner Dance costs were increased by nearly $500 because of vandalism; cars in campus lots have been damaged; and residence halls are taking a severe beating. Those students who feel it is necessary to vent their suppressed anxieties or anger by ripping bathroom sinks from walls (sinks that those same students have indirectly paid for) deserve perhaps more sympathy than anger , for if they could not think of another outlet for their emotions, they are pitiful ; if they think that ripping down sinks is some kind of protest against authority , they are incredibly misdirected ; and if they find that destruction is pleasurable, they are sick; and if they eniov working to pay for facilities which they immediately destroy, then they are just plain stupid. . One need not be a Jean Dixon to predict that the same cretm who think it's cute to deface campus buildings will be the loudest to complain when tuition costs skyrocket because of increased maintenance and upkeep bills for these buildi ngs. One wouldn 't mind thei r complaining or their moronic pranks if they were the only ones affected, but their pay ments for their senseless , destructive "fun " come out of everyone's pockets, and most of us have better uses for our hard-earned money. One is inclined to wonder , "what next?" Perhaps ~he sink-rippers will move on to toilet-bombing (just think of all the misery one could cause if he blew them all up -,- what fun), or perhaps light-smashing (you have to be really tough to smash a light with a rock in a deserted lot at 2 a.m.). Supposedly, simple graffiti-vandal is perhaps the most courageous, for he unshamedly displays to the world through the paint ed word his monosyllabic vocabulary, his obviously unfulfilled sexual needs (indicated by his usual monosyllabic word choice), and his masochistic desire to deface a wall , stairwell . etc. that he has to indirectly (llid someone to paint or plaster. It take, guts to admit all of that publicly. It should be hoped , however, that the plethora of activities on campus can yield more productive and satisfying rewards than can these such admittedly "valuable and challenging" pastimes . Granted, a student with a sense of adventure would be tempted to prefer blowing up a public restroom to playing intramural basketball; wouldn't you? The statement andquestion are absurd, and the situation is pitiful . To those who are causing the destruction on campus, one can only say, it's time to grow up already. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Chairman of the Wilkes' Academic Standards Committee is presently Dr. Robert Riley, not Dean Gerald Hartdagen as stated in last week's ' 'Edi tor's Corner.' ' I expected some response to my letter about pulicity problems for Story Theatre (The Beacon, 15 October 1982, p.4), but I certainly did not expect that response to attack me personally. · I stand by my original assertion that Student Government behavior to Story Theatre publicity was "disappointing and destructive." There is nothing wrong with my in tegrity, and, as far as my doctors are concerned , both my hearing and my eyesight are fin e. For the record: a) Despite the fact that Elaine K erch usky , President of Student Government , has said in print that Student Government is not under the impression that Cue and Curtain and Theatre Arts are the same thing, I had to spend a good five minutes explaining the distinction to Ms. Kerchusky on the telephone. I do not lie about these things; I have a witness . b) My hearing is fine. Ms. Kerch usky never, and I repeat, never gave me, as she contends in her letter: ''names and halls of SG reps that would be willing to help him with his publicity.'' SIJe did say, however, that if I gave student government Story Theatre posters, S.G. would put them up . Under the circumstances, that suggestion seem. ed a bit like the P.L.O . offering to patrol Israel's borders. Besides , Ms. Kerchusky admitted to me that O'Neill Adds Further Comment Concerning Story Theatre Publicity S.G. would probably not be able to put up the number of fliers and posters which we had printed. c) There is nothing wrong with my eyesight, nor the eyesight of two cast members of Story Theatre who hung our banner on the cafeteria. The S.G. Homl'Coming sign was hung in the exact same spot that the Story Theatre banner had Commuters Take Note: On-Campa• Li.,ing May Be Bet To the Editor: I am very concerned about the large num her of stude nts living at home whiil' attending college .I am a 1981 graduate "f Mount Saint Mary ·s College in Emmitsburg, MD and by talking to students and facult y, I found that stude nts living away from home generally do much better both academically and socially than st udents livi ng wi th their families .

College freshmen need to be away from home yet they need guidance and r.upport from faculty members, peer advisors, deans, and other college personnel to hasten adjustment to college demands.

This is a hopeful sign that maybe the apathy of the past few elections has passed. Of course, it could have been the good weather and the issues of Reaganomics that brought the people out. I hope the trend continues , in any event. I wish that all the networks would stop attempting to out-predict one another at ridiculously early hours of the evening. Predictions made at 7 :J0-8 p.m. EST may certainly spark the ratings and may help the computer companies' prestige, but these predictions may tend to influence election outcomes in the midwest and far western regions. A voter who desires to go to the polls late may decide that his vote is superfluous in the face of his candidate's imminent defeat or victory. Oarks Summit and its neighbor rejected consolidation which would have resulted in better community services at a reduced cost. It is just another example of the parochial attitudes which pervade the area and which, in all likelihood, will lead to the demise of the area. On the other hand, Lackawanna County voters deserve the praise ot all for voting themselves a 2.2 mill. increase in taxes to support their Ii brary system. Let's see if somewhere in the not-too-distant future Lu., eme County can show the same inte.tinal fortitude and publicly support the public libraries in this comity. The nuclear freeze movement seems to have garnered a good deal of public support if the referendum presented in nine states and the District of Columbia is any indication. The issue is clear, at least in those areas - and I suspect nation wide - that the public will no longer stand for the ravings of those who would lead us to a nuclear holocaust. George Wallace won the governorship of Alabama by running as the liberal in the campaign top that one if you can. John Heinz said in his victory speech that he would work for "free but fair trade ." The two terms are really mutually exclusive, but I guess that we can forgive the learned Senator's engaging in some post-election rhetoric. Dick Thornburg won the governorship of the state. The race was considerably closer than many had anticipated. It was also considerably sleazier on Allan Ertel's _part than · anyone anticipated. While I do not support a good many of Thornburg's policies, for Ertel to suggest that Thornburg was directly responsible for the WilkesBarre mass murders w;is dirty politics at its worst Many of those targeted by NCPAC won anyway. I sincerely hope that most of the nails necessary for burial were put in that insicjious organization's coffin and that the people of the county have turned away from ''.Falwellesque" morality and have returned to common sense judgment. The race for the _governor's chair in New York was a bellwether. It pitted an unabashedly hardcore liberal against an equally hardcore conservative. The liberal, Cuomo, won. In Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District, Frank Harrison won big despite · having almost no financial backing - he had to borrow $40,000 on his own at the last minute. This just goes to show that all the wherewithal in the world won't help if one promises to support Reaganomics first and your· district second. Congratulations to Frank Harrison and his campaign staff. Now that the election is over, what does it all mean? In the House races, .Reaganomics seems to have been the issue and was overwhelmingly rejected. In the Senate, the Republicans seem to have held their own. One must understand, however, that these races are often laws unto themselves, often riding more on individual personality(s) than those in the House. In short, at least in the Senate, there is no indication of Americans having elected to either "stay the course'' or get off the course. While I sincerely hope that no one has forgotten what is facing our newly elected politicians. A $200 billion deficit is staring Americans in the face. On the 15th of this month, Alan Greenspan and his crew will make recommendations regarding how the Social Security system will operate in the future . Our NA TO alliance is shaky, at best, due in no small part, to Reagan's economic boycott while he sells wheat to the Russians. Eleven million people are still out of work. Factory capacity is running at a mere 70 percent output. There is a state ,of economic depression in many areas of the United States. So to the newly elected officials good luck ladies and gentlemen. You will need it with the legacy that Reagan and the New Right have left you.

This year's surprt:ses mcluded a kiss from The Phantom Kisser, a cake and an office door wrapped as a Christmas Gift. IU takes hard In a dramatic effort to enforce the campus no-alcohol rule , Indiana U. officials no-booze St and are conducting spot checks of.public areas in dormitories and fraternity houses, and warning students of potential charges against those found drinking. The unannounced checks are part of a full-scale attack on alcohol abuse initiated this fall by Dean of Students Michael Gordon. It includes creation of an alcohol information center, a campus chapter of BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), and alcohol education classes. But the spot checks - dubbed "raids" by students - have predictably drawn the .most attention. Gordon isn't fazed by student criticism. "For too long ad ministrators have been afraid to stand up and do something about the alcohol problem," he says . ..At JU, where the legal drinking age is 21, that means convincing students the longstanding policy against alcohol consumption in undergraduate residences will now be strictly enforced. The spot checks are conducted by Gordon and other officials, accompanied by campus police. All liquor found is confiscated and the students involved are sternly warned. Gordon says future violators could face campus disciplinary charges. The JU Student Association initially questioned the legality of the checks, saying the student handbook prevents the search of private dorm rooms with orobable ransP . To avoid thP search and seizure issue, officials kept to public rooms, like lounges and fraternity living rooms. IUSA is still encouraging students to voice their opinions on the crack down to G?rdon said President D.J. Bolinger. He believes the spot check may turn students against the entire alcohol education program. "Students perceive the two as heing the same, and they're very angry about the crackdown," he said. "That may damage student support of BACCHUS beyond repair." ' But Gordon believes the time has come for decisive action. He links student drinking to problems of vandalism, academic failures, sex-related assaults and suicidal behavior. "It's hurting.students academically and in their interpersonal relationships," he · said. "They' re establishing ti1eir drinking patterns for life here. If we can teach them calculus and biology, then why can't we teach them how to live a life that will let them enjoy the benefits of what they're learning?'' A NEW CIGARETTE TAX may help college students in Massachusetts. Under a bill introduced in the state house recently, a new 2 cent tax on each cigarette package would be converted to state student aid funds, paying for a state work-study program, loan and grant programs. The minimum state grants would be increased from a $300$900 range of$ 500 up to half of tuition. Are you sure about the major you have chosen? Would you like to be? The Wilkes College Testing Service, located behind Roth Center, can help in confirming your majorchoice. , The testing service is a program that provides students with beneficial testing and counseling free of charge. Joseph Kanner, director of Testing Service said, "The results can be used to make the best possible decisions about career plans for the future.'' He said that the testing available is endless . When an interested student comes in, for example, Kanner said that he begins by giving the student at least two kinds of tests. The results from these determine whether further testing is necessary. Students may also be tested for learning disabilities or psychological ' disorders. Kanner said that there are -tests to improve test taking. This includes not only classroom exams but also school or job entrance exams. Problems with study habits or reading skills can be identified through the testing service. According to Kanner , the results can provide students with the background knowledge about · their abilities and interests that will help them make a career decision that will be right for them. For instance, if a student comes into the service with an interest in math but not a strong ability, the student would · be advised of possible alternatives. These would be to take courses to strengthen his math skills or to consider alternative majors which require less math. Students can use the results of the interest tests to plan their semester schedules. They can also be used in the selection of specific courses. Kanner said that it is unfortunate that students do npt usually make use of the service until there is a problem. Many students who do use the service are sent there by one of the deans because they have a problem. He said that an example of this might be when a student is failing a major class and the dean . wants to find out if it is necessary for the student to withdraw from the class or whether the situation could be handled in another way. Kanner commented that there have been situations where tested students showed little or no interest in being in college. These people are usually students who have been pressured into attending college for one reason or another. In these cases, Kanner usually advises the student to stick with their college studies because of the benefits that a college education has in today's society. If the student still wishes to pursue the other interest he can do so with a stable educational backup. Students may also come in for the counseling aspect of the program. This may be when a student becomes pregnant , is afraid to tell her parents about the situation and her anxiety is hurting her school work. In this case, Kanner said · that he sends the student to a doc- 1 tor to verify her condition and from there the rest of the problems can be worked on. Seniors can also use the _._ _ _ _ __ _ service to confirm their This would be a check to see student's choice is the one really wanted. He said, "!• ways good _to know whe stand.'' He also said that m these test scores can be typed signed by him and used as tials for job interviews. Kanner said that it does long to get the results. that the results are given according to the student's n some cases, the tests are c right away so that the stu receive immediate results. ''The results of these t valid and reliable when properly interpreted," he · instance, a low IQ score seen as bad when actually dent is very high in vocabu reading but low in math The poor math score brin~ the overall IQ score.

Photog, maga: Thirt Studt c~ Student llesearchi Behavior Of Piranh by Donna Nitka Piranha: a small fish with razor sharp teeth, nati v~ to the rivers of South America, that often attacks men and other/ large animals. The behavior of the fish is the subject of research currently being conducted by Karen Evaskitis, a junior biology major. Karen sais she chose the piranha as her research subject because "very little work has been done on them." She is interested primarily in their behavior and is trying to discover what provokes them to attack. She noted that this will be done through exposing the fish to various stimuli and noting their response. The stimuli being investigated include sound frequencies , blood, motion and various combinations of the three. Karen also plans to determine if sound communication is present. Both single and groups of fish will be tested for communication. The species of piranha that Karen is studying is from the Amazon. She has four of the fish, each approximately five inches long. Piranhas are noted for having bodies half as deep as they are long , large blunt heads and jaws with razor sharp teeth that enable them to bite pieces out of almost any animal. Karen became involved with research last year when she assisted Dr. Rigley, her research advisor, with a c~~fis~ project h~ was work- ing on. :She became so mterested in it that she decided to undertake a project of her own - piranhas.

Catlin Hall was named for George Catlin , a r E •owned painter of In · dian life , w 11le Delaware Hall re· ceived its name from an Indian tribe . that 09ce inhabited this area. George Catlin was born in Wilkes Barre area in 1 796. Following in his father's footsteps, he became an attorney. He was unhappy in this profession so he left his practice to study art. Catlin began his art career as a portrait painter, but later trurned to painting American Indians. By the 1830's, he had developed a collection of portraits and scenes in the life of North American Indians. He expanded his works in the 1850's to include the South American Indians. He died in 1872. The inimitable style, the outrageous plot, the tragi-farcical tone tell us that we are about to enjoy another visit to John Irving's seductive, thought-provoking world. The bestselling author of The World According to Garp has returned with another generational epic, The Hotel New Hampshire ( 3.95/ September 1982), a Total Release which Pocket Books will publish with a first printing of 1.8 million copies and a major advertising, promotion and publicity campaign. When published in hardcover, The Hotel New Hampshire was an immediate success, appearing in the number one spot on the best- seller lists across the country. It stayed on The New York Times list for over six months. John Irving's widespread appeal inspired Time magazjnetohonor with a cover story to coincide with the book's publication. With over 350,000 copies in print, the hardcover edition was nominated for an American Book Award and was a Bookof-the-Month Oub Main selection.

It was purchased by the College in 195 7 from Dorrance Reynolds, an influential attorney and banker. Delaware Hall was built in the 1880's and was acquired by the College in 196 7. The Delaware Indians occupied all of New Jersey, parts of New York and northern Delaware as well as the eastern parts of Pennsylvania. Their presence in these areas was recorded as early as 1600. The Delaware are one of the tew tribes who have come to be known' by an English term. Their name is derived from Lord Delaware, the second governor of Virginia.

Black added that the Center also works with the Wilkes' deans staff on a mutual-referral basis. · But even though these additional 'services are proving valuable, the focus of the Center is on academics. "Study sessions" have been created and are presently being utilized by nearly one hundred students. Black explained that a "study session' ' is simply a group of students who work together and are assisted by a tutor. These sessions are offered in addition to tutoring on a oneto-one basis and have proved to be a successful tutoring alternative thus far . Their purpose, according to Black, is to supplement instruction, not supplant it. A tutor works for and with the department concerned; he or she reviews texts, clarifies issues , answers questions, and helps work out problems with the material. " A secondary gain results also, Black added , in that students who work with profession al tutors learn ' 'how to study. ' ' The workshops sponsored by the Center, Black further explained, concentrate on study skills and primarily focus "on three things: showing the student how to decide what is . important to know and to remember in study material; how to learn this most efficiently ; and how to prepare for examinations and to improve scores by learning how to anticipate questions.'' Two of the professional tutorin~ staff at the Center are Ann Williams, who directs study sessions in ac:coun_ting, and Yoshi Suzuki, who directs sessions in The Center's staff is curre ing tutors in engineering; professional tutors is, expensive.

O'Neill explained, he could both watch audience reaction and ask for written critiques. He said he could also speak with the actors, since they would be the ultimate performers. Once the group expressed interest in the play, Dr. O'Neill reworked it on the basis of the first reading, and he was free to make any other changes. A workshop for the play will be cast some time this month, Dr. O'Neill said. The 4-5 day workshop will then take place some time in January, with another stage reading to be performed in front of an audience.

"Whenever I do a play here at Wilkes, I just have to write off those 6 weeks of my life," he stated, "I can't do anything else." When asked how he chose his topic, Dr. O'Neill responded, 'Tm just very interested and very active in the anti-nuclear movement, and so it struck me that this sort of play might be timely." He added that he's "very excited about the possibilities of an intelligent, musical theater;" one that is both interesting and thought-provoking."

' It was a perfect day - the weather was beautiful, fans lined the field, and the Lady Colonels were anxious for the opening whistle of the game. Wilkes had at least two good reasons to play: they were playing the University of Scranton , and they were playing for the Northwest League MAC championship title. The Scranton goal that came six minutes into play shouldn't have mattered to the Wilkes team other than to make it more goal-hungry. lt came on a breakdown of the Wilkes defense at mid-field, and the Lady Colonels never really recovered. The defense became stronger, stifling Scranton's attack an_d , ONE ON ONE. Lady Colonel defenseman Karen Johnson maneuvers the ~all away from a Lady Royal opponent. On October 29, Wilkes and Scranton squared off for the MAC Northwest title, and the Lady Colonels lost a heartbreaking and frustrating 1-0 decision. offensively, Wilkes was cutting tor , the ball and supporting each other right down to the Lady Royal goal' cage. However , the goal just never came. Clearly, Wilkes outplayed Scranton in terms of shots (16- 7) ahd penaly corners (20-6), and Wilkes ~as tied and defeated teams better than Scranton. So where did the Lady Colonels go wrong? Coa~·h Gay Meyers offered that Wilkes may have been "too tight," too cautious . She adds, though , that it is difficult to pinpoint Wilkes' shortcomings. ' 'It is a hard one to swallow. We were the better team and it's hard to believe so much can end after one game. I can't put my finger on what happened. I can't understand our lack of intensity. I should have done something more or different to have the team ready for the University of Scranton .'' The Lady Colonels ended t season on ~ good note the follow· morning, handing a 5-2 defeat FDU-Madison; The atmosph carried over from the · Scrant game was quickly put to an end Coach Meyers as she talked team into making their last effort the season a successful one. they did as Wilkes' first three came in the first half by Linda er , Michelle Weiss and De Cometa with assists by Karen J son_, Diane McGovern and Di Hall . FDU ended the half with goal of their own . The Lady Colonels went into second half eager for more Two more goals were scored by J Dougherty, and then Mic Weiss finished the game with a just after FDU's second to make score 5-2 in the end. lkE Ba Lady Colonel Spikers End Regular:, Seasoll At 14-4 by Karen Bove The Lady Colonels ended their season last Sunday with a victory over College Misericordia. They also had their fourth loss on October 27 to Division I Bucknell University. Ttie record for the season is 14-4. Now, the Lady Colonels will travel to Dickinson College on November 5th for the MAC playoffs. Last Wednesday, Oct. 27, the Lady Colonels traveled to Bucknell University. Well, Division I seemed to be too much for the Ladies to handle as Bucknell took the first three games, 15-10, 15-13 and 15-7. But the Ladies were not out.- played as the Colonelettes had 28 out of 79 kills as to 27 out of 58 for Bucknell. The ladies did have 26 service aces as compared to Bucknell's 22 aces. In kills, it was sophomore Jennifer Golding with eight and senior Cathy Lee with seven. Cathy Lee also balanced out her skills with 8 service aces and freshman Teresa Miller added six aces. ,., Then on Sunday, Oct. 31, which was Parent's Day for the Ladies, Wilkes hosted College Misericordia. This was also the last home match for seniors Ellen Van Riper and Cathy Lee. Misericordia gave the Ladies a good hard fought match. Wilkes realty had to battle for this win . Scores were, 15-10, 15-16 and 15-12. Ellen Van Riper ended up as the leading hitter with seven kills. Also, Jennifer Golding had five kills. In service aces it was senior Cathy Lee with nine. In the last game, Wilkes was trailing 12-10. It was Cathy's serve and she aced five in a row to lead the Lady Colonels to the victory. Also, · Jennifer Golding did her usual excellent performance with serves . She also had nine aces. Colonel Harriers Avenge De/eat To Baptist Bible by Ellen Van Riper The Wilkes cross country team concluded its season on a successful note. Last week the Colonels recorded wins over Baptist Bible (25-30) and Muhlenburg (17-43) to complete the 1982 season with a 12-8 overall record. Down the stretch the Colonels have won four in a row, and this strong finish is indicative of the improvement which the young Colonels have achieved this season. It, also seems as if they have reached their peak just in time for the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship Meet. On October 27, the Colonels traveled to Clarks Summit to face the Baptist Bible Defenders. In an earlier confrontation held at Kirby Park, the Colonels had been narrowly edged 27-28 by the Defenders in a very exciting meet . Therefore, the re-match had the added incentive of revenge for the Colonels. Coach Bellairs aptly described the turning point of the race, "At the halfway mark, four Baptist Bible runners were way out in · front . But, they went up hill and a out of sight, and the next thing I knew, McGuire, Levandoski and Hockenbury were running onetwo-three. It was thrilling for me. They did what they had to do to win. " The three Colonels held on and never relinquished their lead. Tom McGuire and David Levandoski crossed the finish line together with a winning time of 28:24. Close behind them was George Hockenbury with a time of 28:34. Placing the top three finishers automatically locked up the meet for the Colonels, for it insured a low point total. Finishing fourth for the Colonels and ninth overall was Greg Quinn, who was timed at 30:17. The fifth finisher for Wilkes was Joe Dill, who ended up 10th overall with timeof30:47. On October 30, the Colonels were once again on the road. They journeyed down to Muhlenburg College to run on another grassy course. Bellairs thought that the meet would be close, but his Colonels ended up really taking the Mules for a ride. At the end of the first mile it appeared as if it would indeed be close. A Muhlenburg runner led with George Hockenbury behind him. In third was another Mule, but Colonel Tom McGuire was hot on his heels. The two-mile mark saw the Colonels outkick the Mules and gain the top three spots. From then on, it was not even close. The overall winner and top Colonel finisher was George Hockenbury, who crossed the line at 27:53 . Relatively close behind was Tom McGuire with a time of 28:09 . Finishing third overall was David Levandoski with a time of 28:38 . The top Muhlenburg run. ner finished more than a minute behind him at 29:45. The fourth and fifth Colonel finishers and fifth and sixth overall were Joe Dill and Greg Quinn. Dill came in at 30:38, and Quinn was 10 seconds behind at 30:48. Finishing eight and 10th overall were Chuck Harris and Owen Murphy. Harris was clocked at 31 :08, and Murphy was timed at 31:18. LADY COLONEL A TT ACK.

Wilkes was intercepted three ~imes and starting Quarterback Randy Rice was dropped in his own backfield en at least a dozen occasions. The final score is not a good indication of the Colonels defensive performance. On the first play from scrimmage, Lou Zampetti intercepted a Hopkins pass and gave Wilkes the ball on the Blue Jays 27 yard line.

Bruggeworth accounted for seven saves while the Defenders' keeper stopped five. East Stroudsburg dominated most of the action on Saturday as they easily handled Coach Phil Wingert ' s Colonels. The Warriors scored four of their goals in the first half the Colonels played a disoriented brand of soccer. The second half proved to be much better for the Wilkes team as they allowed only one goal. The Division II Warriors were better skilled players and took advantage of the passiveness of the Colonel's defense, who were beaten to most of the 50/50 balls. This, coupled with mental mistakes, resulted in the East Stroudsburg romp. No Colonel had more than one shot on goal as the total amounted to four as compared to 23 for East Stroudsburg.

The Colonel harriers will be travelling to Lebanon Valley College on November 6, and the Lady Colonel spikers will be heading to Dickinson College in Carlisle on November 5 and 6. These events are the ~limax of the season, and both coaches are expecting their team to perform well and do the Colonel proud at the "big one." Cro•• Country Bart B-ellairs really did not know what to expect at the start of the season . His team was young and inexperienced, and he was not sure if the team could do well without graduated super runner Ken Pascoe . He was both a leader and a talented runner, so his shoes would be hard to fill . After some early season ups and downs, the Colonels finally began to put it all together. They won their last four in a row to finish at 12-8. Valuable experience is gained with the passage of time. First and second year runners began performing like juniors and seniors, and the whole team began to mold itself into a single unit. The top three runners have been George Hockenbury , David Levandoski and Tom McGuire. All season long they have vied for that top spot pf being the number one Colonel finisher . At times, they have crossed the line together or in pairs. Only a freshman, George Hockenbury has lived up to his pre-season billing and then some. The former top runner at Hanover Area, George -has been a pleasant surprise all season long for Bellairs and the Colonels. After finishing fifth in the season opener against Elizabethtown and Philadelphia and seventh against King's, Delaware Valley, and Misericordia, Hockenbury has run up quite an impressive record. Against Lycoming, he crossed the line with Levandoski and McGuire with identical winning times. He won his first collegiate meet the first time that the Colonels faced the Baptist Bible Defenders . In a loss to the Moravian Greyhounds, George finished second overall. · Most recently, Hockenbury was the winner in a victory over Muhlenburg. As a freshman, David Levandoski was a sensation. He and Pascoe formed a formidable onetwo punch for the Colonels. This year David has been a steady performer, and he has taken on much of the leadership responsibilities. He has not been flashy, just consistent. He opened the season with a first-place finish against Elizabethtown and Philadelphia Pharmacy. Against Lycoming, David was a member of the winning trio. Recently, he tied for first against Baptist Bible in a Colonel victory. Tom McGuire had been a solid and steady second and third finisher for the Colonels, but recently he has entered the hunt for the top spot. He was a member of the Lycoming meet victory trio . In the narrow defeat to Baptist Bible, Tom finished third overall. He was the top Colonel finisher against Moravian College. Tom was especially impressive last week in the Colonel victories. He tied with Levandoski for first against Baptist Bible, and he finished second against Muhlenburg. These three runners have convinced Bellairs that he "has a good team for this kind of meet. They all run close together." All of the runners will be 'important, but these three will hold the key. Bellairs has set a rather modest goal for his team. He would, of course, like to win the meet, but he would be happy if his team beat cross-town rival King's College. Volleyball The Lady Colonel volleyball team, on the other hand, does have playoff experience on its' side. However , all of this experience has been of a negative kind. The spikers have qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs in each of the past two seasons, but they have yet to find success . Each time they have come away frustrated, disappointed and disillusioned. Junior Co-Captain Debbie Kramer, fellow junior Sally Fisher , sen ior Co-Captain Ellen Van Riper and sophomore Jennifer Golding have all suffered through this failure. However, they all agree that things will be quite different this time around. According to both Kramer and Golding, there are differences between this year's team and last year 's team which will turn past failure into future success. Krainer said, "We work more as a team this year. We were tough last year, but we are tougher now . We really have a chance to do well.'' Golding was a bit more explicit in her comparison, "(Last year) we were a rough team with lots of sharp edges. This year we are more unified. It is more fun to be on the court, and we all help each other out." Sally Fisher believes that having had played difficult teams during the regular season will prove to be an excellent preparation for the playoffs, " We will be going ag~inst tough compet1t1on, but we have already played tough competition this season. Once in a while, we won, and, once in a while, we lost . We are going to come out on top down there.'' The aforementioned team cohesiveness will be a major factor in the playoffs , but there will be other key ingredients as well. Chief among these is the overall talent of the team and its unselfish·attitude. Tuer~ is not one player which stands apart from the rest skillwise; there is no star, and nobody tries to be one. The team is composed of six talented individuals who sacrifice their own personal glory for the glory of the team. The players on the bench also share this attitude. This also ·m·eans that each is equally dangerous to the opposition , and therefore, the opponents cannot key on one player. For instance, if they key their defense on the spikes of Cathy Lee, the opponents will be beaten by the clinks of Jennifer Golding. The Lady Colonels make the opponents play honest . Add to this the fact that each player has a mastery of all of the basic skills, such as spiking, serving, digging, and clinking , and it is clear why the ladies have amassed a 14-4 regular season record. There is one more consideration to discuss. Last year's team bordered upon this kind of talent , but it lacked on,, thing; it did not have faith in its ability and heart . When the going got tough, it folded . This year when things looked bleak and hopeless, the Lady Colonels rallied together and won . The best example of this is the game at Susquehanna. The Ladies were down 14-9 in the fifth game, but they miraculously came back to win 16-14.

"America's Energy is MINDPOWER " is the theme for the annual Wilkes fundraising cam paign. According to Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, dean of external affairs, the MINDPOWER program was de signed by the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). This council is a national organization composed of college and university administrators from 1 across the United States an~ Canada . CASE is involved in such areas as public and government relations. and is concerned with "giving public support an d public informa tion." Nationally, Kelly explained, the MINDPOWER program is saying "support higher education." '' We at Wilkes are in existence to help students attain mindpower,'' he said. ''We have adapted that theme to providing scholarships.'' Kelly said normally a new theme is developed for each campaign. He explained that this theme is being CHECK OUT THE SCOREBOARD. Last Saturday at Ralston Field the Colonel gridders trounced the FDU-Madison Devils 45-6 to snap a two-year losing streak. SEE STORY ON PAGE 16 PHOTO: Stephen Thomas re -used for three major reasous: (I) the campaign did well last year, (2) CASE is continuing with its national campaign and (3) Wilkes was the recipient of a (national) Citation A ward for the best use of the MINDPOWER theme in campaign ing. Kelly noted that the 50th Anniversary of Wilkes is being incorporated into this year's MINDPOWER theme. Contributions are being solicited on the basis that Wilkes has developed for the first 50 years of existence, and help is needed in order for development to continue. In addition to scholarships, money raised in the campaign is · used for general operations of the college. For example, an engineering graduate may request his donation be nsed to purchase equipment for the Engineering Department. Also , some alumni have endowed the school, and may present a gift to the endowment. "We do honor a donor's wishes," Kelly stressed. The goal set for the 1983 cam paign is. $400 thousand. He ex. plamed that this.figure is reached by examining amounts raised in previous years in terms of current needs . He added that the records of other area campaigns such as the United Way campaign are analyzed. Studies are also made to estimate the amount that alumni will contribute. The theme and campaign is developed as a ''team effort.'' While Kelly is in charge of all fundraising and public relations for the institution, Dr. James Aikman, director of development, runs the campaign. Randy Xenakis, director of public relations, develops the · publications and Richard Raspen , director of alumni relations, is in charge of alumni fundraisers . These gentlemen also work closely with the Board of Trustees and with President Robert Capin. In add ition to school officials, an alumnus or friend of The College serves as the campaign chairman. Frear H. Scovell, senior executive vice - president of Fir s t East e rn Bank. ha~ been named chairman of this year's campaign. As chairman, Scovell's responsi bilities include : being volunteer spokesman for the campaign, working with President Capin in recruiting a vice-chairman and division leaders for the campaign and providing overall leadership from now through April, which is the end of the campaign. While the staff does th e organizing and detail work, about 250 · volunteers, including students and alumni, do the actual solicitation. These persons each visit three to seven prospects and ask for gifts and pledges. Approximately 2000 friends of the college in the Wyoming Valley, with an additional 13,000 alumni and certai n corporations and foundations, are solicited. '' It is a major effort and it is really a year-long effort," Kelly pointed out. "The public effort is in the spring, but the work that comes to pull off this effort is really yearlong.'' In general, Kelly stressed that the real reason for the campaign is to provide the school with assistance for capable students who are here at Wilkes.

Dave Talenti reported the Financial Aid Committee passed two motion s, the first on e regarding the federal grants given by W il kes College. Talent i stated the federal government wanted t he stan da rds for thei r grants to be reviewed and updated along with t heCollege's, and t hat the com mittee passed a motion t hat t he standards held by the College are adequate. · The second mot i.on regarded the idea of revoking a student's college aid for a semester as a disciplinary action. Talenti reported that the committee passed a motion that aid could be revoked by the Dean's Council for repeated offenses. Ralph Pringle, reporting for the Student Life Committee, introduced their guest speaker, Paul Adams, housing director. The topic was on the relationship between alcohol and drug abuse and vandalism. Adams reported that vandalism is less than other years, but it is still present. Dan Talenti and Cindy Bonham, who attended the faculty meetings to represent the student view on testing during the last week of classes, stated that Dr. Turoczi of the Biology Depoartment, wanteq to amend the proposal to exclude laboratory practicals from the test policy. His amendment was defeated by the faculty and then the entire proposal of no. tests was defeated. As it stands, testing is now allowed in the last week of classes. Talenti reported t hat there is nothing to prevent SG from resubm itting the proposal for the next faculty meeting. According to him, only half of the faculty was present at the last meeting. Once again, the topic of how to elect a Cinderella an d Prince Charmi ng was di sc ussed . Last week , it had been decided and announ ced that the co uple would be elected much the same way as Homecom in g King and Queen . . Apparently , after furth er discussion , those in charge , changed t heir m inds. Shelly U rban announced t hat the committee is open to suggestions. Urban went on to state t hat th e reason fo r not h av ing the election is that it is too m uch like a popularity contest.

Dr. Virginia Nehring, head of the Nursing Department, stated that though she is disappointed , she un derstands that ''things are tough everywhere and all schools must tighten their belts."

Seniors Chris Lonstrup and Jacqueline Brocca coordinated and directed the plays as part of their fu lfillment of the requirements for Wilkes theatre arts majors. Lonstrup chose to direct Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's The Boor, a comedy about a retired army officer who collects debts from a widow. The characters were played by Rebecca Schmitt. Steve Di Rocco and Gene Wachowski . Sarah Law was the assistant director and Thom Labashosky was in charge of costumes.

According to Dr. Les Turoczi, chairman of the Biology Department, the idea for this change in pre-registration procedure was presented by students during Bio Dialogue Day. He stated that students were concerned about not knowing what their chances of getting into an upper-level class were if the class was closed. The students presented this system as an alternative. The procedure was accepted exactly as it was proposed by the students. Problems with pre-registering for upper level classes arise due to the limited number of slots for each class . Upper level courses with labs are limited to 24 students because of limited lab materi~ls such as microscopes. Some lecture courses, however, can be opened to more than 24 students. The new system of preregistration was not going to be instituted until the spring. During the biology faculty retreat on October 23 and 24, it was decided that the new procedure would be incorporated for fall registration as sort of a trial run . Turoczi noted that the biology instructors feel that the new system is valuable and that, in the long run, it will come to benefit both students and faculty. ------~~~~~\\_________________!

Therefore, I maintain , , after careful observation and prolonged exposure to the phenomenon in question, the following assertion : someone is messing with Time at Wilkes College. And after reading a UPI article by Joanne Degnan (Citizen's Voice, 9 November, 1982, p. 15), I know who it is. The New Jersey Devil, who supposedly makes its home in the Pine ijarrens of southern New Jersey, has migrated to WilkesBarre--I' d place bets on it. . For those who may be unfamiliar with the New Jersey Devil, here is a description: the monster, according to legend, has "a forked tail, the body of a kangaroo, the head of a dog, the face of a horse, the wings of a bat, and the feet of a pig. " If the portrait seems incredible, just remember all the blind dates you've ever had in your life combined into one being, and perhaps the picture will become clearer. D~gnan reports that the monster was last sited.in January, 1909, and has been spotted by thousands of people in southern New Jerseyand eastern Pennsylvania. It had created such panic that stores and factories were closed and armed drivers rode the trolleys to guard against an air attack. Devil hunts are still conducted today, both seriously and in fun, in New Jersey parklands. And it is this fiendish devil that I am sure has swept into Wilkes College, and is presently adding to his pranks the distortion of time. Looking back to the beginning of the semester, I observe it has been at least three hundred years since classes started in August . Everyone was young then, full of life, eager to learn, suntanned and thin and optimistic about the future. Three hundred years later-, in November, the faces have grown pale; enthusiasm has been replaced by the hysteria bred of English paper deadlines and computer program infinite loops. Once-taut muscles, after enduring hours of cramped study positions, have resignedly decided to do wet linguini imitations. Eons have been spent mired in philosophy readings, millenia spent waiting in cafeteria lines for hundreds of thousands of Morning Muffins, centuries upon centuries spent rationalizing excuses to skip Beginners' Swimmingor so it seems. The New Jersey Devil has indeed been busy. But this same sprite who is so mischeviously protracting the past is also telescoping the future. Every paper that can be conceived by human thought seems to have been assigned today and should be completed tomorrow. The semester itself will end, it seems, the day after; like everyone else, I will meet the final day unprepared, my feet submerged in a bog of undigested facts about John Stuart Mill , my knees bruised from grovelling to parking lot security guards, my hands clenched tightly around hundreds of withdrawal slips, my eyes staring frantically at the billions of final exam questions (clad in Nazi uniforms) that march toward me in the distance. The {uture is ominously hovering near, the past is nebulous and untouchable , and the present is simply interminable. As far as I'm concerned, the New Jersey Devil could have no better subject on which to wreak havoc than a Wilkes student who has made it to November .

I was never that interested in t hrow ing rolls of toilet paper at som eone and then flushing them down the toilet; maybe I'm just fickl e. When the shavin g cream fight broke out in the bathroom, I left the dorm entirely. When i return ed , one of the major participant's in the night's festivi t ies was com plainin g loudly that he was paying ei _g ht thousand dollars to go to thi s __ ___ _-ing school and everythini.: at it was "crappy." Maybe I 'm naive, but something bothered me about this statement. H e had just helped make a m ess of the bathroom and as this was th e day it h ad been clea ned, it wou ld be another day and a half until it would be cleaned again. Somehow , his logic seems not ' 'kosher.'' Personall y, I don't care what people ca re of this school. Some wi ll always li ke it: others will alwav, hate it. However in this casf'. t lw , student had on lv himself to hla111, ·. \\'hat bothers ine ts that tlw 1t·,1 people who messed up the bathroom aren ·1 the on ly ones who use it. A friend of mi ne came up once, tonk nne look at the dorm (all of it) and asked me how I could live here. Once again , maybe I'm naive, hut I though I left childish behavior behind when I cam e to college . If som eone wants to mak e a mess, let him do it in his own room where only he and his roomm ate have to live in it. I said chi ldish , and I m ea nt it. It seems that when m any students get away from "mother" (and not just fres hmen), they go crazy. Once my roomm ate and I had tests early Friday morning. We decided to be mundane abo ut it and get a good night ·s sleep. Yes, t hat's right , we were in bed at 11 :30 p.m. In er.e dible as it seems , we figu red that if we were rested, we might do oka y on the tests. Well, at midnight the "childre n ' s hour" began (mo re li ke two or th ree hours actuall y). Yelling and screammg an d stereos filled the halls. Oh wait , I can't forget the wrestling.

Now ·we h ave two bizarre personalities heavil y active in Virginia and nation al politics : Jerry Falwell and the Senator-elect, Paul Trible. The form er I have been denoun cing since his appearance on the political sce ne; the latter I wi ll begin apologizing for now. . Jerry Falwell is from that little bu rg in the V irgin ia "bible belt " called Lynchburg. It is a charmin g little town except for the stench of the factories which wafts its way over the hills upon which the city was built. Perhaps it is this particularl y vile odor , which I first experi enced as a high school athlete at various contests in Lvnchburg; which accounts for Falwell ' s lun acy. The smell would certainly ~ enough to drive a borderline psych otic over the edge. It is from this unique bailwick that Falwell attempts to regulate t he mores, both soc ial and political, of the rest of the ('.lUntry. Ten years ago , Fal well wo uld have gotten no more than a chuckle from the heathen of th;s land . In the past two years, though, Falwell has emergerl as a potent political force in the country. Falwell. combined with the "New Right" an<l NCPAC, has attempted to turn the rest of us to the "paths of righteousn,·s~ · · prayer in schools. tax cuts for tho,e parents who send their children to private, mostly segregated. schools, repressive legislation against homo sexuals (pronounced ''homsex ules" by real Bihle he I t ers) and a further build up of the nuclear forces of this country Let's face it, the man's not all there. He s also not particularly ethical. In recent campaigns, Ole Jer' has sent out his usual newsletter proclaiming Christian virtues, the true way to salvation, and whom to vote for-all while asking for any contributions that the reader m ay fin d it in his heart to be able to give . For this, a group has filed suit in Federal Court to have the Reven:nd Falwell's religious tax·-exem pt status revoked. I pray that the plaintiffs win their case. Falwell's influence may be on the wane however . In th e recent elect - ion, he was only able to influence on e election. Sa1ly, that was the senatorial race in Virginia. The r cipient of his political benificerice was none other than Paul Trible. Trible came out of the gate fast. This past weekend , Trible was quizzed on his politics and I was immediately embarrassed. Trible proclaimed · that the $1,600,000, 000,000 Reagan wants to spend on defense was not enough- he wants more! Trible successfully tap danc ed around the issue of the Social Securi ty system's solvency; rejected any federal jobs program ; and claimed that Virginians "clearly" want to stay on the course. I suppose that he had to do this, having begged Jerry Falwell for a letter of support in the 'final weeks of the campaign . An additional explanation is that Virginia is basically recession -proof. Unemployment is nowhere near the national figure and there is an enormous amount of defense-related industry in Virginia-i ncluding the shipbuilding indust ry in Trible's hometown . His position s are more befitting a m em ber of t he House of Representative~ wh ere one is supposed to represent t he vested interest-~ of th e district. l thought the Senate was supposed to represent the interests of the country. Oh well. I would like to warn readers, though. Beware of fundamentalist preachers- who preach a loving Christ in conjunction with an Old Testament hell's-fire, dam nation God-while trying to get your money for political campaigns. In addition, beware of Senators from the Norfolk-Newport News shipbuilding area bearing the gifts of a higher defense budget. Oh, I apologize.

Henry Ford Jazz music , called the only true ·\ merican art form, has been reerberat ing through the region this ,ear, than ks to the efforts of the .Vilkes College Music Department and the Sordoni Art Foundation. Behind the smooth sounds emanating from the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, is Boh Wilber, a nationally known jazz performer and teacher. The 54 -year-old Wilber, who began performing as a teenager, has been named musician-in -resi rJence at \\Tilkes, under a program ,ponsored by the Sordoni Founda tion. Wilber's appearance in the area will be aimed at introducing Wilkes students to the creative forms of jazz music. "l want to get the students to improvise," said Wilber during a recent interview. Beyond his work with college students, Wilber will also use his time in the area, working with high school band directors, professional jazz musicians and delivering a series of 11 public lectures on the history of jazz. Wilber will lecture on Tuesday. November 16 , at 7 :.'30 p.m. in Room 41 of Darte H all.

''The students here don't have a know -itall attitude,'' he said. Wilber said he intends to experiment with the music students at Wilkes in the methodology of introduci ng them to the world of jazz. Instead of striving for a polished performance by a group, Wil ber sai d he will be working with students individually, to teach them to be creative with their music. "I want them to learn the essence of music, I don' t want to make them musical robots. '' Bemoaning the decline of the popularity of jazz in recent years, Wilber said students today have grown up on a steady diet of rock music. ''Jazz is a new experience for them.' ' ''My goal is tq develop a group of musicians who can express themselves musically," said Wilber. Jerome W.

If you'd like to participate in the "Great American Smokeout" but aren't sure how to give up smoking, here are a few suggestions to help you kick the habit . A positive attitudr. is a must for those who wish to quit smoking. Negative thoughts, such as how difficult it might be, will deter you from wanting to quit. To avoid these negative thoughts, generate a list of the reasons why you want to quit smoking and consult it several times a day and before going to bed . This will reinforce the positive reasons why you want to stop smoking. Involve someone else in your pro· ject. Ask a friend to quit with you or bet him that you can quit smoking by a certain day . It's always easier to accomplish something when· you have an incentive. There are several ways to actually quit smoking. Most involve reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke each day until you've elim inated them completely. One way to cut down on the number of cigarettes you smoke is to change to a brand of cigarettes that you dislike . Another is to switch to a brand that is lower in tar and nicotine. This will help lessen your physical dependence on cigarettes. Whatever you do, try not to smoke more than two packs of the same brand in a row. Other methods of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily include smoking only half of each cigarette , limiting yourself to a certain number of cigarettes each day and not carrying cigarettes with you, making them difficult to get to. Smoking under unpleasant circumstances will also help you cut down . On the day you plan to quit smoking , eliminate anything that may serve as· a temptation. Throw away all of your cigarettes and hide your ashtrays. Keep busy so you won't have time to think about smoking - take a walk, exercise, or get caught up on your schoolwork . You may even want to celebrate your decision to quit smoking. The first few days after quitting are usually the most difficult, due to the nicotine that is present in your system. To avoid a setback, spend as much of your free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited . Substitute a glass of water or juice, a piece of fruit or a stick of gum for the cigarette you're craving. Change your habits to make smoking vir- tually impossible . If the fear of gaining stopping you from qui · sider this: most of those smoking do not gain wi about one-third of those gain weight; one-rhird their same weight. One weight .

Imprinting is not unusual in cases like Tex's, but here it presented a definite problem. Her refusal to recognize other whoopers as her own kind made the selection of a mate difficult indeed. Archibald hypothesized that a human imitation of the whooping crane's courtship dance might induce ovulation in Tex, allowing her to be bred by artificial insemination . So they danced. Each year during mating season, for up to six hours a day, Archibald and several others visited Tex's pen and performed what proved to be an excellent imitation of the male whooping crane's courtship dance. Tex became partial to Archibald and chose him as her surrogate spouse, sometimes acting violently when her territory - Archibald - was approached. During this year's mating season (April 1 to May 18) Tex and Archibald became an "item" . From 5 a.m. to8:30p.m . daily, the unlikely couple took walks, rested, - and danced.

Learning how to furnish Students arriving at their room s in Embry-Riddl e Aeronautical U. 's Ill'\\. dormitory last fall found ... nothing. The desks, dressers and beds that normally occupy a dorm room weren't included in this residence hall - not for Jack of funding, but as an experiment in student development. "Instead of setting up social events, like mixers, we wanted to tailor an environment that requires st udents to develop," said Stephen Whitmer, director of housing. Hence, arriving roommates immediately began working on their mutual problem: The need to buy, rent, build or oorrow basic furniture. The experiment proved successful beyond expectations. Embry Riddle housingpfficals provided residents with a list of alternatives. in · eluding the names of rental companies and wholesale outlets, and offered physical plant assistance in helping students to build their own furni ture. Many students chose the latter option, designing and building furniture that exactly suited their needs. "The rooms are ranged from the most basic and spartan to the Taj Mahal,'' said Whitmer. More im portantly, the joint efforts drew roommates together more quickly, helped students develop self esteem and increased pride in the living area, and significantly reduced vandalism. Along the way, the imiversity saved $243,000 in furniture expenses, and lowered room rates for the un furnished dorm by $30 a semester. Embry-Riddle may convert other residence hall space to unfurnished status, as economic situations dictate, said Whitmer. He advises anv school wanting to implement the plan to "make sure they tell students and parents exactly what to expect.'' Some parents , particularly those of freshmen students , initially balked at the plan , Whitmer admitted. "We explained that finding furniture is something every adult is going to face at some point," he said. "¥.'hy not now?" The dorm residents apparently agree .

Reviews Proposals by John Finn For the next several months, faculty and students will be examining and evaluating proposals put forth by the Curriculum Review Committee concerning core require ments. Although the proposals co uld be better characterized as adjustments than as major revisions or changes, some present potential problems for several academic departments on campus. The Curriculum Review Committee, which includes faculty, ad ministration and students, began work last May and labored through the summer in order to have a sound proposal for the fall semester. One faculty member has eloquently termed the effort a ' ' thinly veiled exercise in academic politics, , (largely devoid of either principle· or high purpose)." However, the months of sincere and dedicated work of several faculty members would seem to contradict this assumpt ion. At the heart of this review is an attempt to define the nat ure and purpose of a liberal education, and Wilkes is not alone in this task. Last April, the Association ot American Colleges published the findings of their survey of 272 colleges and universities that were conducting reviews of their curriculum . fhe survey concluded that · 'there is a national revival of general education," and that "favorable attitudes, particularly on the part of faculty members and ad- ministrators, undergird a number of specific program changes. These curricular changes include a large proportion of required general education courses, additional structure with less student choice, more liberal arts subject matter , more attention to basic and advanced skills, and a series of qualitative changes consistent with general education purposes .'' The Review Committee's first full document, issued June 24., recommended the following core structure: I.a. Continue to require English 101 and 102; b. require writing in all core courses; c. adopt a system of referral for students with writing problems; d. develop a program of proficiency testing to assure competency in writing before graduation. II. Reduce the physical education requirement from four to two semesters. III. Require six semester hours in the fine and performing arts, two , of the following courses: Art 101, 1\1.usic 101 and Theatre 101. IV . Require both English 151 152, and History 101 -102 sequenl es. V. Require a six credit hour Sl' quence in Philosophy: Philosphy 101 -102 (with substantial units in logic and ethics and some considera tion of Eastern Philosophy). VI Drop Foreign Languages from the core; encourage departments to require foreign languages. VII. Require nine-credit hours in the life and physical sciences. or three of the following four courses : Biology 101, Environmental Science 10 l. Pn ysica l Science 101, and Chemistry 101; require one cou rse in mathematics. This recommendation requ ires . Biology 101 102, Physi cal Science 101-102, and Chemistry 101 -102 be reduced to si ngle three credit courses. VIII.

Thomas Edison invented the first legislative voting machine in 1868. Election voting machines developed more slowly. The first practical voting machine used in an actual election was put into service in Lockport , New York in 1892. Manufacture and distribution of voting machines has continued steadily since that time. The machines are ir. use in more than threefourths of the states. Many states now require the use of voting machines in all elections, including primaries. The United States was the first country to conduct elections by machine. Several other countries began using voting machines in the 1960 's. Still other countries are engaged in research on their use. PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

He stated that America's economy will •not improve bec-au,;e we are not improving our. capital resources; we art! not updating ot1r means of production. Another reason given ·the econ omy's "bleak future" is' the defi cit budget America is working with. Pinola explained that the government is using a large portion of its capital to pay off the interest on the national deficit while the deficit itself grows larger every year. Pinola also blamed the government for heing too lenient on import and l'xport tariffs. H e reported that the Japanese government has very high tariffs and strongly encourages it's citizens to buy Japanese goods. Another point made by Pinola was that the American economic situation cannot improve until communication between la/, management improves.

All was going well for the Colonels until a defensive mistake knotted the score at one goal apiece. As a King 's forward sent low, floating ball into the Wilkes goalmouth, freshman Fullback Chris Fox attempted to nudge the ball into his own net for a Monarch goal. \\Tith three minutes remaining in the game , Fox had a chance to redeem himself when a Wilkes player was found near m idfield.

D elaware Valley finished eigh t h (244), Wilkes en ded up eleven! h (326), A lbrigh t t welft h (336), and King's thirteent h (340). Before the meet, Coach Bart Bellairs took a realistic approach and knew th at his team would not finish in the top five. He set the aforementioned goals. All in all, he was very pleased with the team's performance in what he called the "most important meet of the year.'' In his mind it ranks ahead of even the Regionals which his team will compete in this weekend on the same course at Lebanon Valley. Th e Colonels showed some im provement over last year's MAC meet. In 1981 the h arri ers finished twelfth overall with a score of 323. This year t hey were eleventh out of 21 teams despite a higher point total of 3 26 ..

Films, championships advertising, magazine articles, clinics, and television and radio promotional messages are some of the tools the Association will use in an attempt to im prove participation and opportunities for women. "We have three major goals in this program," explained Ruth M. Berkey, assistant executive director. ''We want to increase the number of female student-athletes, we want to . . f, create more opportumues or WOmen coaches and we want to provide tools for those women professionals to be better qualified to be top job candidates." Just as the program has three goals, the increase in Association support is in three areas : an expansico of already-existing promotional efforts, supplementary funding of promotional programs earmarked specifically for NCAA women's championships and expansion in new directions . Berkey will oversee the entire effort, aided by a soon-to-be-hired assistant and cooperation from the communications department, particularly in the area of championships promotion. "We want to do what we can to make women's championships even more successful," said administrative assistant Timothy W . Gleason, who coordinates all championships promotional efforts. ''There is no way to measure exactly the results of our efforts so far, but our discussions with host institutions have indicated a great response. Some of what we are doing still is in the experimental stage ." Some of those experiments took place last year as concerted efforts to f, 'f' promote a ew spect IC women's championships. Targeted promotions will contim1e this year in women's gymnastics, volleyball and basketball.

The next time Wilkes got the ball, an injured Wayne Lonstien · hobbled onto the field . Lonstien served up a 42-yard bomb to Sieler and gave his team a comfortable 24-0 lead. FDU gave the Colonels something to think about when they scored just before the end of the first half. The touchdown came on a 30-yard pass from Bob Macabe to Mike Pepis. The conversion failed and the half ended 24-6. Unsworth reflected on the scoring, "I thought when we were up 10-0 we were going to win. I was a little worried when they scored before the half.''

According to Dan Talenti, a student representative for the Academic Standards Committee, the motion was made to prohjbit major tests during the last fiv11 days of classes. Sixty-nine of the College ' s 160 faculty members were present at the meeting and defeated the motion. The vote was 44- 25 , almost a 2: 1 ratio. Talenti explained that the issue was voted on due to the confusion among both students and faculty . He said that a few years ago, the fac ulty "supposedly" rejected the policy which would prohibit testing during this time period. Apparently, Talenti further explained, the vote was not recorded in the min utes and was therefore overlooked. So, the policy remained in the Student Handbook . The policy , as it appeared in the 1981 -82 Student Handbook, reads : "No major examination may be given d1,1ring the last five class days preceding final examinations without the approval of the depart ment chairman and the Dean of Academic Affairs. Routine quizzes are not prohibited during the final week of classes." Talenti stated that because many faculty members "knew " the policy had been rejected, they treated it as such. · He said the issue was repeatedly discussed in Student Government . "I think if any students on this campus didn't know any policies in this school, they knew that tests shouldn't be administered in -the last week of classes,'' Talenti commented. In the discussion prior to the vote, Talenti recalled that several faculty members said they, as instructors , were the best persons to know when and when not to give tests. One professor said it was a " breech of his academic freedom" not to be allowed to administer exams when he elected to. Dr. John Stevens agreed that students need studyi ng time , but he explained , "It seems to me that the time should come out of a readi ng period, NOT out of class period. Professors should have the freedom to run classes as they want .' ' Talenti added that other faculty members · said they thought it (the policy to .exclude exams) was a way for students to "get off easy," and they stressed that it was their job to prepare students for future jobs and/or graduate school. Talenti said those faculty mem- hers who supported the motion said there was precedent for it ·because larger schools, like Yale , - have a full week of reading days. · They pointed out that Wilkes has on ly two reading days and students need the time to begin studying for finals. ''I think there should be no tests in the last week of classes, " Dr. Philip Rizzo stated. He explained that some people tend to abuse the policy by giving a final exam that week and then "skipping " the final examination period. Dr. Rizzo called this abuse " unfair to the stu dents , the system and the College .''. Several students responded negatively to the newly-passed policy. ''I don't agree with them ," Kev in McDonnel, a junior communications major responded, "The last week of classes sho'uld be dedicated solely to preparation for final exams.'' Carol Beahm, a senior biology I psychology major protested, "What is the sense of giving a final if there is going to be a major exam in the last week? Besides that, why should you have to study for a major exam when have to be· studying for fi,,wls?' . TaJenti noted that the issue will probably be brought up again. " But , this time we'll lobby professors and work out some of the problems with it,'' he added . rou by John Finn. Human Rights Group Gia,esHope To Prisoners -Coraggio! ----- During the final days of World _War II , a captured resistence member sat alone m a dark pnson cell, tired, hungry and convinced of approaching death. After weeks of torture and torment, the prisoner was sure there was no hope- that no one knew or cared. But in the middle of the night the door of the cell was opened . The jailer, sho~ting abuse , threw a loaf of bread onto the dirt floor. The prisoner, by then ravenous , tore apart the loaf. Inside was a matchbox ; and in the matchbox were not only matches, but a scrap of paper. .. She lit a match , and read , on the paper, a smgle word. Coraggio Take courage. Don 't give up . We are trying to help you. Coraggiol -------- ---- A campus chapter of a non political human rights organization is being formed at Wilkes by a few people who say students today haven't lost their sense of idealism. The organization is Amnesty International, the largest human rights movement in the world, with more than 250,000 members in 151 countries. The stated goal of Amnesty International is to work for the correction of human rights violations throughout the world and to "focus . .. work exclusively on the following concerns: 1) prison ers being held for the non-violent expression of their beliefs; 2) pol· itical prisoners who have been denied a fair and prompt trial, and 3) all prisoners who are tortured or sentenced to death ." Timothy Cain, Wilkes professor of English and coordinator of the new group at Wilkes , said he was first attracted by Amnesty International because it is "impartial and not the arm of any political group or ideology ." Amnesty is also independent of all govern ments, economic interests, and religious creeds. In order to ensure this independence, local chapters do not become involved with human The Wilkes College Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Jerry Campbell, will perform .in concert Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 8:15 p.m. in the C.P .A. Admission is free. The program will include works by Giannini, Bennett, Persichetti, and Weinberger. VandalisatBy A. Few, Paid For By All Vandalism on the Wilkes College campus is on the increase . Both Tod Hogan, IRHC Vandalism Committee chairman, and Paul Adams, housing director, agreed that costs from vandalism this semester "seem higher 'than before.' ' Adams reported that approximately 13 hundred dollars worth of damaj!e has been done on campus this year. This figure does not include those damag~s with rights violations in their host country. In other words, the Wilkes group may concentrate on prisoners in South America or Asia . "We're probably not going to change the world," Cain added, "but if individuals can be saved, it is worth the effort.'' Amnesty International activities can take several forms. These include adoption groups, urgent action networks , campus networks, medical capacity committees and indi vidual activities. An urgent action group has been operating at Wilkes for the past few months under the direction of Dr. Frank Lieb, but Cain has been working since September to establish a campus network. Members of an urgent action group periodically send telegrams or airmail to governments, newspapers, and embassies in order to help persons who are in immediate and serious danger. The campus group will also conduct letter writing campaigns and will maintain the urgent action group as part of its organization . In addition, however , the campus group will be involved with human rights education, which is intended to accomplish the long term goals of preventing rights violation ~. costs still pending or those <.tamages not yet reported. Adams expressed the opinion that 95 percent of the students at Wilkes do not contribute to the destruction. This leaves those few who damage the campus to raise the operating costs of the college. Adams stated that this leads to a raise in the cost of tuition and gives college students a bad name. Another point made by Adams was that much of the destruction stems from abuse of alcohol and a lack of respect for property belonging to others. Hogan also noted much of the campus destruction is due to irresponsible drinking behavior. He stated that perhaps the school needs a stricter policy regarding vandalism; he suggested that a fine be given above and beyond the cost of repairing the vandalized item, sighting Messiah College's vandalismpreventionflan as an example. Much o the damage occurs on the weekends. This year, glass doors in Pickering and Founders Hall were broken frequently . The door at Founders, one of the exit doors at the back of the bui lding near the parking lot, cost $400 to repair. Also in Founders Hall , unknown vandals ripped a sink from the wall in the fourth floor men 's side and spirited it away. . When the persons responsible for damage to residence halls are not reported or do not come for ward and admit that . they are responsible, the residents of the damaged hall are all charged for the cost of the vandalism. Residence halls are not the only targets of vandalism on campus th is year. Hogan reporte_d that every weekend thus far someone has ripped down the wooden semaphore , the arm which blocks entrances to parking lots, at the parkin·g area between Stark Leaming Center and Chase Hall . Each of these cost $45 to replace. �Page 2, The Beacon, November 19 1982 IRHC Meeting Food Service May Close On Sundays most nights once again goes south for the winter. It was decided to give the publicity a chance before deciding to close the snack bar. Adams also reported that Founders Hall would be used this year for students who must stay on campus during holidays : second floor will be used for Thanksgiving, third floor will be used for Christmas, and fourth floor for Easter. Under the continuing saga of the Cinderella Ball, the final decision on dress for the ball is formal ; men m ust wear tuxedos or three-piece by Becky Whi~man News from Paul Adams that the college food service wished to close the snack bar in the Student Center on Sunday nights because of an apparent lack of patronage by students brought protest from those present at Sunday night's IRHC meeting. Adams reported that, at present, the food service is operating the Sunday night snack bar at a deficit and came to Housing with the suggestion that the snack bar be closed for those evenings .

"They are going on a limb for us , " said Bowanko. She said that no guarantees or promises have been made to the business by the school. She also said that students who do business with Bevan's will be given the choice of any color or style tuxedo in the store. · It was also announced that the princess of the Ball will be chosen by random selection. On Saturday, November 20 , a diabetes fund raiser will be held in the gym from 1 to 3 p.m . The theme of the drive is , " Make the shot that counts.'' The object of the drive is for studeAts to find a sponsor who will pay a certain amount each time the student makes a basket. The males will be given 1 minute and the females will be gi ven 2 minutes to make as man y baskets as possi ble. The fund raiser is being held by Stacy Keeley and Terry Shemo. Applications are available in the CC office and the SG office . A coffeehouse will be held in the Student Center on December 3 from 11 a.m . to 2 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by Tom At the CC meeting th is wee k the agenda for the 50th Ann iversary Cinderella Ball was reviewed by representatives. Nancy Bowanko, head of the 50th Anniversary Committee, started the discussion with comments about the menu and drinks . In general , she said that the meal will include : French onion soup, lasagne, prime rib, and for dessert a creme de mint parfait. A specific menu may be obtained from the CC office. Drinks served will be 75 cents for beer and wine, $3 for a pitcher of beer, · $1. 50 for drinks made with the house liquor , and $1 75 for drinks made with other brands. Coctail hour will be from 6:30 to 7:30 , dinner will be from 7:30 to 9, and then from 9 unt il the end of the evening music will be provided by Mirria. It was stressed by Bowanko that students are not allmyed to bring liquor to the Ball. She said that if students are caught with liquor it will be taken away. She said it is hoped by the committee that students will not bring bottles into the Ball as it would put a damper on the evening. In order to alleviate some of the expenses for the guys, a friendl y gesture has bveen made by a local business. Bevan 's Mens Wear, on Northampton Street n ea r the suits, and women must wear gowns . Tickets for the ball went on sale this week . The general opinion of the dance marathon held last Saturday at the Wilkes Gym and sponsored by local colleges was that turn-out was a disappointment . Several people that went over to observe stated that they saw three couples dancing. The marathon was sponsored by United Way. dent Center Board , reported that at the last Board meeting thi: topic was discussed and it was decided that before a decision was made to close the snack bar, an effort should be made to advertise it more. Maggie Quinlan seconded this by stating that she felt the biggest problem was simply that too many students ·were unaware that the snack bar was open on Sunday nights. ' President LeBlanc reported that the NACURH conference was a "success." She also noted that John Anderson, a presidential candid~te Stacy Keely also noted that the problem might be lessened when Softie, a vendor who sells hoagies and ju~_k food from a van on campus in 1980, was the guest speaker at the conference. Naomi Harris, reporting for the Student Center, announced that a film, tenatively Poltergiest, will be shown several times this Sunday on the Center's wide-screen TV. A Student Center Party will be held Friday night. The theme is " Time Warp" .Cost is one dollar, and the party will run from 9 p. m. to 3 a.m . The DJ's will be: "Rock and Rye" .

The group is designed so that students meet bi-monthly to discuss rec_ent scientific journals. Dr. Penelope Padgett , assistant pro fessor of biology, who started the club~ said that the purpose of the group is to help students critically read journal articles and to recognize well written articles from poorly written ones . She also said that the meetings will help students recognize what an author wants to relay in an article. Dr. Lester Turoczi, associate professor of biology , and Dr. Louis Rigley , associate professor of bioology, are also involve~ in the i;tmip. They act as advisors to a group of about 10 students. Rigley said the group will acquaint students with many di verse subjects being studied in biology. Each time the group meets, a selected student or advisor reads a journal to the group . Rigley said that the journal is chosen by whoever . reads at the meeting, but he commented that when a student picks the article it is usually checked by an advisor to make sure rt is appropriate for discussion . Rigley said the Journal Society has been meeting since the begin· ning of th~ semester. He said the Biology Department plans to continue t~e Journal Society with hopes that participation will increase to other students majoring in biology. Right now, he said, the students involved are mainly research students. Their joining was not man- datory, but he said they were advi~d that participation in the Journal Society would be helpful in the future . "It's to their benefit," he said. Padgett commented that journal societies are not uncommon. She said they are common in graduate schools. In fact, she said that students who furth er their education beyond undergraduate ~ork will most likely be exposed to many journal societies. She also commented that the journal society lwre will be a benefit to students as many of them will fu rther their education. Padgett said that the good thing about journal societies is that they teach independent thinking. Rigley said, '' The journal society was one of the best parts of my graduate work.'' History Club Reviews WWI Hlstory students and professors recently gathered at the Annette Evans Alumni House to discuss America's entry into World War I. The event was co-sponsored by the History Club and Phi Alpha Theta , the national history honor society, and offered these organizations an opportunity to discuss their plans for the year. The discu$sion on World War I and America's decision to enter the war lasted more than an hour with a lmost everyone participating . Dr. Rodechko and Dr. Bedatsky, who held different opinions on why the U.S. decided to become actively involved, first presented their views and this was followed by general group discussion . Also explained . at the meeting were the History Club's plans for a field trip on December 4 . The plan is, at present , to visit the aircraft carrier Intrepid which is now moored on the Hudson River and has been converted into an air/ space museum . Discussion of the requirements for eligibility for Phi Alpha Theta followed . The requirements are a minimum of 12 credit hours in history with a minimum of a 3.0 average in these courses plus a 3.0 average in two thirds of all other courses . Rodechko stressed that a student does not have to be a history major to be eligible as long as all the requirements are met. Applications were handed out to those students attending the meeting who met the requirements and were interested in joining. Those accepted will be announced and inducted at the annual Phi Alpha Theta banquet. Rodechko also stated that one of his main problems is that he has no -~ffective way of finding out who is eligible for the honor society. Those interested must come to him. Ap- plications are still available in the History Department. Following the announcements and discussion, coffee and donuts were served . ----NOTICE---- The Managing Editor of The Beacon has been informed by: the Associate Dean of Student Affairs that the Wilkes-Barre police were on campus on Mondav, November 15,because a student had been harassed by an unidentified person while the student was on her way to campus. In a protective role, the _police escorted her from crass to meet her family. The Student Center presents O'Toole won a third-place finish in Impromptu Speaking and a fourth place award in Persuasive Oratory. Annette Winski displayed her speaking skills with a fourth-place trophy in the Special Occasion competition, ''Nominations Speaking.'' Susan Loveitt, another new member to the speech team, won a fourth-place trophy in Impromptu Speaking. Darrell Lewis finished the tourney with a fourth -place victory in the category of Sales Com petition. _ Overall , Wilkes came in eighth finishing ahead of 20 other schools'. Helping the squad to this top 10 recog_nition besides those already mentioned were Ronda Fahmy and · James Lehet.

The title is misleading. It implies that the Department was falling apart before I came. That is absolutely false . I will cite just a few examples. Ms. McHenry and the rest of the faculty did a fantastic job obtaining funding from outside resources to build one of the best Departments of Nursing in Penn sylvania. Almost half a million dollars was obtained to build a Learning Center so effective and impressive it has been toured by persons from several states. In addition she and the faculty worked very hard to obtain initial National League for Nursing acc reditation. At that time a program could be accredited for a varying length of time depending primarily on how well the program's strengths were documented and demonstrated to National League for Nursing visitors and Board. The faculty were' naturally very pleased (and deserving) to obtain accreditation for the maximum period of time. We also have received federal funds to enable us to expand our geriatric nursing component . Wilkes has become known for our expertise in this rapidly growing area of health care. As one example, Ms. Kolanowski, Project Director, has not only published widely on the care of the aged, but she was recently in Canada where she spoke on the subject . . Other faculty are also nationally known . Again, to give just one example, Ms. Harrison published a book on care of the mentally retarded. Her second book on this subject is about to go to press. The Department of Nursing for years has published a nursing al umni news letter called ''The Pulse ." This publication kept ' nursing majors and alumni informed of events within the Department. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has used copies of our publication to demon strate, in a joint meeting with rep' resentatives from the American I Medical Association , how a small, i private liberal arts college could be effective in combining faculty exi pertise in both ,education and clini cal practice. 1 The article implied we had a poor facult r . ,On ~he : ~oryt w~ l '· I = = = 5 and Charges Inaccuracy' we · have 27 faculty with graduate over each exam and discuss why one degrees who teach in both the classanswer may be better than another. room and the patient care agencies.

Facultv t!O ,,. �November 19, 1982, The ~con, by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. A few wee ks ago, a letter whi ch appeared in Th e Beacon suggest ed th at we had ' ' carefully avo ided" the issue of nuclear waste in our column on PP&L's nuclear power lecture series. We would like to assure our readers that we did not avoid the issue; the requirements of space limited us to covering only a few major points, namely the cost of nuclear power plants , and their operating safety. We would like to thank Mr. Carl J. · Borgstrom for his letter , and here is our reply on the issue of nuclear waste. In our opinion , if environm entalists have a real concern for the public health and welfare , they should be protesting loudest against the greatest danger to it. Their prime target these days is nuclear energy_ So , evident ly , _nuclear energy must be more dangerous t'1,an all other en ergy producing resatirces, especi all y coal, which is the most popul ar fu el for electric generation . Let us loo k at the facts and see if this ·is co rrect . Coal plants produce man y types of dangerous wastes. The principal among these is carbo11 dioxide, which is produced at the rate of 500 pounds per second in an aver age plant . In small amounts , this is not a dangerous gas , but there is serious concern about the climato-· logical and ecological damage this is causing, especially as pertaining to the well known greenhouse effect. Simply put , a large increase in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would cause a rise in the earth's average temperature. Even· a small increase here would have devastating effects, incl uding possible melting of the polar ice caps , which in turn would have devastating effects on the coast al regions of the world. · Coal plants also produce nitrogen oxide , the principal pollutant from aut omobiles. Thi s pollu tant is produced at a rate equa l to-that of 200 ,000 cars! Additionally , coal plants produce more th an 40 known cancer causing chemicals , including the most dangerous components of cigarette smoke . Enough ? Well, we have not eve n ment ioned the most dangero us waste yet , the sulf11r compounds . A ton of these is di scharged everv five minutes . H ere are the devastating results from just one average coal plant annually : 25 fatalities (!). 60,00() cases of respiratory dis ease, and $25 ,000,000 in prorerty damage. Surprising? Don't the environ mentalists· know this? Now , let 's look objectively at the wastes of a nuclear power plant. The amount of nuclear wastes are five million times smaller by weight, and billions of times smaller by volume than those of an equivalent coal plant. In fact, the amount of nuclear waste is so small that one plant' s annual production of these would probably fit under your dining room tabl e! Recently, man y people such as Mr. Borgst rom have expressed their concern s over the dangers of perm anently storin g nucl ear waste. We feel that this concern is misplaced. For permanent disposal, nuclear wa~te (if it is not recycled ) will be converted into a rock -like form and huried de~ underground. The worrv here is that radioactivity will escape into the human food cycle , hut the processes which cause this typi cally take tens of thousands of years . Despite all the talk of " Rad ioactive half-lives, " nuclear wa~te loses 99.98 percent of its toxicity after only 500 years of burial, mak ing it less radioactive than many natural rocks . With regard to long term effects, consider the rate at which rock is eroded. In average rock at waste burial depth , less than one atom in two trillion escapes in to human food or drink each year. Therefore, one year's buried waste from a nuclear plant might cause an average of .0()1 fatalities per year. We have yet to find one category in which nuclear wastes can be shown to be as dangerous as those of coal , yet the so-called " environ mental advoca tes " apply a ridicu lous dou ble standard to nuclear power , wh ile ignoring the grea ter dangers of coal. The facts, however, clearly sh ine through the shallow hypocrisy of anti -nuclear .arguments. Any comments or criticisms are welcome. Please write to us · at Tbe Beacon. Proper Perspective ..................................·... -~ ..........-.~ .......... . There are quite a few items in the news this week which are worthy of discussion. Obviously the event with the greatest import for the future was the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. One can only hope that the views held by some Kremlin sr,ecialists regarding Yuri Anoropov's moderate P9Sition, vis a vis the United States, will be translated into action. This, h ow ev er , will m e an that some reciP.rocal activity will be requirea from this country. President Reagan said in his P.ress conference last Thursclay that "it takes · two to tango.

In Adv anced Microelectronics Lab, students learn about and actually perform the process to make transistors from silicon wafers. The methods used in the lab are very similar to those used in industry. In fact, one of the two professors in the lab, Vince Osadchy, works for RCA in MountainTop ,and does the same kind of work. The other instructor, Dr. Gar y Dolny , believes that people who pass this course could easi ly get jobs in industry if they choose. The laboratory itself is an impressive place. The first thing that catches one's eye as he walks in is the large furnace in one corner of the room. This device can heat the silicon wafers to thousands of de· grees, and gases can be added to change the characteristics of the sili - Virgin Vinyl It's Hard The Who Warner Bros. by Stephen Badman This band is old. The Who is old. The band has been making great rock for years and years. But, as bands seem to inevitably do , the members of The Who announced that this is the end of their gig. This occurs in the midst of. much speculation whether this decision is late or premature. Face Dances, the last album, di.d not receive good reviews. One writer for Rollin![ Stones said if that was any indication of The Who's direction, the next album should be entitled Who Cares . I think this criticism is too harsh because the album is good; but that is another article. This one deals with It's Hard, an album that sounds like it is coming from anything but a dying band. From the first song , this album is unmistakeably The Who. "Athena ," which has received the most airplay, is somewhat new in its sound musically, but the vocals are so familiar that the song could not be mistaken for anyone but The Who. The other songs seem to carry on this new music/ familiar vocal pattern. For instance, ''Dangerous'' is a song that does not sound like tl")e old Who at all. If one heard it for the first time without hearing Dal - trey ' s vocal, I think he would be hard pressed to tell what band was playing. It sounds like an 80s band. There are some songs that sound familiar though. On "Eminence Front, ' ' the instrumental intro is very much like the keyboard intro on ''Baba O 'Rielly.'' I do not think this is a fault because the song itself is not a copy of the classic. But , all through the al bum, hints of old Who songs are present. In "I've Known No Wars, ' ' a song that has the contemporary '80s sound, there are very subtle yet undeniable similarities to "Join Together With the Band.'' I think these hints of the past are mixed in nicely with the present. It is as if Townshend has taken the sounds that made the hits work and made new songs out of them. I am not sure why The Who are breaking up ; I assume it is because they each have personal projects ·to work, i. e. Townshend's solo albums and Daltrey 's film directing. I think that if they are breaking up because they feel the band has lost the ability to make good music, they are wrong. ft 's Hard is a strong rock album and from what I hear from people who attended the concerts, the band still has a great stage presence . Maybe The Who will reconsider their finale once they see the success of It 's Hard. It is apparent from the stage show and It 's Hard that The \\'ho have some long lived rock. con. The furnace, the most expensive piece of equipment in the lab, was donated last summer to the College by RCA in Mountain Top_. Another thing one notices in the lab is the air filtration system. Dol ney said these filters, called Hepa filters, remove dust particles from the air in the lab . The company that manufactures them guarantees that the air will have less than 1.00 particles of dust per cubic foot. Average room air has thousands of particles per cubic foot. The air in the lab must be this clean, because dust that gets on the silicon dur ing processing can affect the performance of the finished transistor. T he actual process steps necessary to make a transistor are rather complex, but can be briefly described as follows: first, allow one si de of a very thin, pure silicon wafer to oxidize; next , the oxidized side of this wafer is treated with a photo-sensitive chemical and the wafer is exposed to light through a screen which has the circuit process pattern that is to be produced on it. After a chemical process to · remove excess oxide, the wafer is heated and treated by gasf's to give it the desired electrical characteristics. Finally, the whole process is repeated to complete the circuit, and what results is a transistor. Some of the individual steps may take two hours or more to com · plete; hence, the need for a sixhour lab. There are 41 students in E.E. 381, which is divided into three sections: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Each section is broken down into groups of three or four. The members of a group work together to produce and test their transist<?rs. Their ~rades are based on a midterm and final exam plus a subjective evaluation of lab performance. Dolny is very enthusiastic about the Advanced Microelectronics Lab . He noted that the lab itself was "constantly improving" with a lot of improvements over the summer. Along with the new furnace, vinyl cei ling tiles and special paint were added to the lab to help cut down on dust contamination. The students claim that these improvements have helped the quality of the transistors . Dolny also mentioned that very few undergraduate engineers get to use this type of facilit y. The faculty won ' t be idle in the spring, he added, for the lab will be used·to test out ·new processing techniques plus other projects including an attempt to produce some solar cells. When asked how the students felt about the course, Dolny stated that they had fun with it. "They get to see something work every week," he said. "They get to see the process from back to front, and they have something neat at the end. 1n addition , they get to see t-he practical use for all the theory I taught them last spring in Solid State Devices," he added. The students themselves are also enthusiasti c about t he course . Steve Griffiths from the Thursday-night section stated that th e lab is "a highly industrial situation and great hands-on experience. " Bob Bruggeworth noted that Doln y and Osadchy seemed more like supervisors than professors. He also told of the competitive spirit that has risen between th e groups and the sections. The rivalry is especially keen between the electrical en gineers and the materials engineers who elected to take the course . Each group tries to produce better transistors than the oth er. Commenting on the midterm exam that had just been returned to the class , Frank Rowe said that it was the ''first test that reflected the course material." Of the lab itself. Don Wolfrom said that he likes it so much that he was going to do his senior project in the lab . Also, he and Bob Bruggeworth plan to put together a special presentation to go along with the lab lectures . . When asked about his overall impression of the lab, Ed Salley's immediate response was ''Great 1' ' Red Cross Blood Services Administers To 21 Counties by Don na Nitka The American Red Cross Blood Services, Northeastern Pen nsylvania Region , is a non-profit agency that collects, processes and distributes blood, donated by volun ~eers, throughout a 21 county region. To meet the total blood needs of the region, more than 350 units of blood must be collected every day. This is done through mobile units , such as the one at yesterday's Blood Donor Day, and donor stations. Donating blood is a relatively painless procedure that L1sually takes only six to eight minutes, First, you register . A drop of blood is then taken from your earlobe to test whether your hemoglobin is sufficient for blood donation. After th is, your temperature, pulse and blood pressure are taken. A series of health history questions are asked to insure that it is safe for you to donate and that your blood is safe for the recipient . Quring the process, less than a pint of- blood is taken . Your body replaces the fluid portion of the blood within 24 hours . The cells are replaced within two weeks. Anyone between the ages of 1 7 and 65 who is in good health and weighs more than 110_pounds is a potential donor. After the blood is collected, it is processed. Blood is comrsed of several elements, each o which performs a , specific fun ct ion in the body. These elements include red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma.

Thanks, giving blood today! �Corison Finds Wilkes A Home by Doug Fahringer Dr. Cynthia Corison had never heard of Wilkes before the College's advertisement caught her eye in a speech/ commun ications newsletter earlier this year. The newsletter advertised an open position for a speech / communications professor at Wilkes and what interested her the most was that she had all the qualifications necessary for the position. From there on , it 's history. Now Corison is teaching speech and communications courses at Wilkes. Previously a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Corison traveled last May to WilkesBarre for an interview with the Language and Literature Department at the Colleg_e. Shortly thereafter, she received the job. Corison is originally from California and received her B.S. from Lewis & Clark College in Port land. Oregon. She then went on to earn her M .S. and Ph.D from the Uni versity pf Oregon in Eugene. As well as her qualifications , Corison was interested in Wilkes College because of the location . " I wanted a change in environ - ment, preferably somewhere on the East Coast," she said. Cori son commented t hat she also wanted a different "exposure" to the communications field and the location of Wilkes was perfect for this. Corison added that she preferred to teach at -a small school, like Wilkes, because , as she said, " Th ere's more contact between th e teacher and the student and th ere 's less pressure on the teacher with a smaller class .'' She emphasized that this pressure on the teacher detracts from the quality of teaching. Corison is an addition to a somewhat young communications program . She speculates that the program will improve with greater student interest and additional faculty. Corison said t hat she will teach courses that have never been , offered to communications st udents at Wilkes. Next semester she will teach Organizational Communication which she says, in addition to being one o; her favorite courses to teach , it is also a very beneficial course for the student. The course, stated Corison, focuses on th e th eories of communication and applies them to practical situations. Away From Home In all of her courses, Cori son tries to create enthusiasm among the students . She also prefers class discussions rather : han · lectures because sh L fee ls that the students learn more ' I-trough their own partici oation in 1 e class. In the fu .ure , Corison hopes to see more emphasis placed on the theory and organi zational courses that will be offered. "These types of courses will benefit the student more ·than courses such as Mass Media ,'' she stated. Although Corison admitted that th e Mass Media course is a popular one, she said that after college it is a "very difficult fi eld to get into .'' She referred to the small demand in the mass media field and mentioned that most students have to start at the very bottom once they get a job. " Students just aren 't as satisfi ed once they get into this area," she added. When asked about th e differences between her students in California and her students at Wilkes , she said that Wilkes students, in general, are ''younger acting ' '. That is , they appear to be more inquisitive and eager to learn. She mentioned that this attribute is definitely a "positive " one. "Generall y, the students in Cal ifo rni a are more sophisticated. They have their own expectations as to how they should be evaluated , '' Corison said. Although she sees the relationship between the students .and faculty at Wilkes as "formal ," she's impressed with the great concern that most faculty members have for their students . "It's an odd fed ing to be called 'Dr. Corison ,' " she said, "At UCSB , most students called me ' Cindy.' " Corison doesn ' t mind being called ' Cindy ,' but she does, however , expect students to view her as their professor and not as a fellow student. When asked if her yo ung appearance has ever confused people as to her position here at Wilkes, she replied , " Yes ." She mentioned th at it ' s sometimes frustrating to still be assumed as being a student. Corison has adjusted quickly to her new life here at Wilkes College. ''It was an easier transition than I thought because the people were very frienclly," she said. The mountains also remind her of Oregon, so, for Cindy Corison, Wilkes is like a home away from home. It' s the true story of a man , first ridiculed and rejected then applauded by society. It's the story of one man 's attempt to overcome his ph ysical deformities. It 's The Elephant Man and it will be presented this weekend in the CPA. The Elephant Man is based on th e real life story of John Merrick , ,a man whose body was hideously deformed . At first , Merrick was -exhibited in a freak show. Later , befriended by Treves , a surgeon, he finds a home and is introduced into London 's high scoiety. According to Jay Siegfried, the visualize it for themselves. Siegfried stated that the play is "challenging to clirect." He add,ed that it gives him the opportunity to do some close character work with the actors . Also , since the play is based on a true incident, the production company was . able to research their characters and obtain some background information on Victorian society.

It examines Merrick's growing contentment as he is drawn into society and Treves ''psychological deterioration'' as he becomes discontented and begins to question himself and society.

Talenti reported that the professors he talked to don't make it a policy to test students in .the last week of classes. He remarked that most teachers seem to support the idea but don't want to infringe on other faculty members who may wish to test the last week by making it a policy not to allow testing during ., the last week.

Beth ended up with eie:ht service aces out of 27 tries with only three errors. Sophomore Helen Brannon proved that she can play.

For the first time in a long while, the Colonels will ha ve a predominantly freshman team. Head Coach Jim Atherton is entering his second season as the Colonel mentor. Last year his team compiled a 13-10 record, and that team was a team of mostly veteran players. There were such players as Paul Scaliti, Kevin "J.J." Walker, Tony Madden, Pat Romich , and Bob Antonelli. All of these players and some others are gone now via graduation and other reasons, and Atherton faces the task of replacing them with raw, inexperienced fi rst-year play ers.

The successful blending of some experienced players with a group of talented freshmen will determine the ladies' fate this season. Facing a difficult schedule, Head Coach Nancy Roberts and her assistant Mary Jo Hromchak will be taking things one game at a time. The action begins this weekend with a trip to Indiana, PA, for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Toumament . The trip will be both a learning experience and a chance for the team to get acquainted. The other teams in the Tournament will all be from Division II, so the Lady Colonels will get a taste of higher level competition. In be~een games they will be able to watch and learn. There are four returning letterwinners from last year's squad , and this group is headed by this year's co-captains Kim Smith and Karen Bove. Both are juniors and have experienced the growing pains of the program.

Atherton plans to· start a freshman in the center position, and right now there is no back-up. This is perhaps his major concern . Because of this shortcoming, the Colonels will use their soeed and quickness to run a controlled fast break offense. However, the success of this is dependent upon the presence of strong rebounding. Atherton plans to start three freshmen this year , but he pointed out that the success of the team will not depend mainly upon those who start . The success will hinge upon those who get the majority of time on the court . This infers that the head coach plans to freely use his bench. It will be important that the team avoid the making of freshman mistakes . The first-year members of the 1982-83 Colonels are: Jim Rodway, Mark Aguilar , Dave Zapo· tocky, Jim Laputka, John O'Boyle, Dan Piavis, John Williams, Rich Sharri. Ken Yakobitis . and Tom Allardyce. There are all •totale<l It is extremely difficult to predict · the potential performance of any team , let alone one dominated by freshmen players, so Atherton is not making any predictions as to a number of victories this season . Atherton will be depending upon his upperclassmen for leadership this season, and much of this burden will fall upon the shoulders of senior captain an d poi nt guard Greg Hychko. Hychko is a Wyoming Valley product, and his court trademarks over- the past three seasons have been hustle and aggressive defense. Last season, he developed into one of the finest. defensive and point guards in the Middle Atlantic Con ference. . In addition, he is a fierce com pet· itor. These attributes earned Greg the basketball team's 'Hustling Colonel Award' last year. Not content to sit on his laurels, Greg underwent an extensive and intensive conditioning program over the summer vacation. He in creased his leg strength and lost soine ·weight. The toughness will still be there , but there will also be increased quickness and agility in this his final year. The other upperclassmen on this year's team are Rick Sheaffer, a ju'1ior, and John Grochowski , a sen id·. Both these players saw plenty of playing time last season , so their experience will be an asset to this year's yo ung team . The strength of the team , according to Atherton , is hustle and a good attitude,-and he cites these as the two intangible qualities which make a great team . by Ellen Van Riper g8 g· ~ ~ S fcnsive Player. Last season, Smith Averaged 17 points and 15.8 rebounds per game . She was the second leading scorer on the team, and her rebounding average was good for second on the NCAA Division III list . In addition, she set records for most rebounds in a game (21) and in a season (285 ). At the end of last year, Kim -was honored as The Beacon Female Athlete of the Year for 1982 . Karen Bove is a 5-9 forward from Berwick, PA, and last year she was the third leading scorer with 11 per game and the second leading rebounder with nine per contest. Thetopscorerwitha20.5average was sophomore guard Charlene Hurst. A graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, Hurst was voted as the team's Most Valuable Offensive Player last season. She also led the team with 62 steals for the season . Charlene is an all-around player, and last year as a freshman she was honored as a member of the AllMiddle Atlantic Conference team. The top freshmen recruits are Donna Martin , Michalene Chernicavage, and Michelle Jawoiski. Martin is a 5-6 guard from Nanticoke Area High School. Donna was chosen as a three-time all star and last year averaged 18.5 points per game and seven assists . She was honored as The Times Leader Wyoming Valley outstanding girl 's basketball player. Chernicavage is also a graduate of Nanticoke Area, and she is a 6-1 forward-center. Last year she averaged 10 points and 14 rebounds per game for a team which went to the District 2 finals. She is also an excellent shot blocker. Jawioski is a_graduate of Mt. Pocono , and was the team's Most Valuable Player last year. She is a 5-7 guard-forward , and in her senior year averaged 18.5 points and 12 rebounds per game. All three will be expected to make I major contributions to the team. This year the Lady Colonels will be compensating for an overall lack of height by using their speed and quickness on the fast break. 'the other returning letterwinner is 5-5 sophomore guard Lori Cashour from Baltimore, MD. Last year she led the team in assists and set records for most in a game (12) and for most in a season (112).

The Colonels will also try to improve upon their 19th place ranking in last year's final Top 20 poll of the National Mat News. With nine lettermen returning from last year's squad and a host of Lenny: Nelson 1982-83 Co-captain Diane good freshmen recruits, the Colonels have a good chance for improvement . Coach Reese . has modestly predicted that the team will be competitive. As a tune-up for the 1982-83 regular season, the Colonels will participate in their sixth annual alumni varsity match on November 20 at 8 p.m. Many great wrestlers from the past Wilkes teams will be attending, and the match will give the College students a chance to see the new fre~hmen. The organizer of this yearly exhibition is Al Zellner, a former Middle Atlantic champion. Expected to participate for the alumni are Mike Lee, a former national champion at 150, Jimmy Weisenfluh, a former national champion at 167, John Chakmakas, a former national champion at 134, Danny House, a former Eastern champion at heavyweight, Mark Densberger, a former Eastern champion at 158, and Bart Cook. The 1982-83 Colonels, according to Reese, have a good balance between seniors and freshmen . · Hall Headed To USFHA 11\Jationals by Ellen Van Riper A lucky Wilkes College studentathlete will be spending her Thanksgiving break (November 24-27) in Orlando , Florida. Senior Diane Hall, a co-captain of the 1982 field hockey team, and her teammates, junior Karen Johnson and sophomore Debbie Cometa, spent last weekend at the Mideast Sectionals in Pittsburgh. These· three qualified for this competition at the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament the previous weekend. Diane Hall There were 12 teams competing at the Sectionals: Buffalo, Central Pennsylvania (I & II), Finger Lakes (I & II), Lancashire (I & II), Pittsburgh (I & II), and Susquehanna (I, 11, & lll), and approximately 65-70 players were competing for 3 5 spots on the team that would represent the Mideast at the National Tournament. By the end of the competition, Hall had been selected to the Mideast III Sectional T earn and had qualified for the USFHA (United States Field Hockey Association) National Sectional Tournament which will be held in Orlando. Diane is only the third player in Wilkes field hockey histor_y to achieve this distinction . In 19 78 Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Synder were selected to the Mideast III Team; and in 1979 these two were chosen to the Mideast II Team. Pam Snyder repeated her Mideast II sele0tion in 1980. Head Coach Gay Meyers believes that this is a great way for Diane to end her career at Wilkesand what a career it has heen' Diane will be leaving Wilkes with the distinction of holding the career mark for goals scored (47) and most total points or goals and assists (5 6). The previous career record . for goals had been 42, and it was set by Penny Bianconi (1973 -76) . The ex-holder of the career point total was Jerry Ann Smith (197679 ) with 24 goals and 31 assists for 5 5 total points. As a freshman in 1979 , Diane tallied 1 5 goals and dished out eight assists , and as a sophomore, she had nine and three. In 1981 Diane netted ten goals and passed off for three assists, and this year she had 13 goals and five assists. All totaled, she ha~ 4 7 goals and 19 assists for her career. Said Coach Meyers , Diane has "done a fine job for- Wilkes Col lege," and added that she has always worked hard and deserves the National recognition. At the Nationals in Florida, there will be 11 sections of the country represented, and selected . teams will play for a national sec- · tional title. Diane will have the opportunity to play with and against some of the best individual players in the country. Reese has been pleased with the hard work and the good attitudes of his wrestlers, but he is concerned about a lack of numbers . There are only 25, so the team will have to stay healthy in order to challenge the top · national teams . This year's squad will be led by senior co-captains Pete Creamer and Lenny Nelson , wh_o are both experienced veterans. Last seaspn, Creamer, a native of Bellmore, NY, wrestled at 177 and .compiled an overall record of 19-7. This year he will probably wrestle at 190. At the end of last season, Lenny Nelson went to the NCAA championships at Iowa State arid came back to Wilkes as an All-American . Before this, he earned a second place finish at the EIWA championships. He had a marvelous season with an overall record of 23-4-1. His performance earned him the Athletic Department Male Athlete of the Year Award for 1982 . A native of Richland, NJ, Lenny is expected to once again wrestle at 142. Another returning top wrestler is senior Mark Popple of Wilkes-Barre. Mark had a sensational season with a 27-4 overall record and a third-place finish at the EIWA championships. He set a school record with 19 consecutive dual meet victories, and he missed All-American honors by a single point. He was honored by The Beacon as the 1982 Male Athlete of the Year.· Mark will most likely wrestle again at 150 for his senior year. Senior Kris Rowlette will be returning to his spot at 118, and he is also coming-off an excellent season. A native of Nashua, NH, Kris compiled a re ord of 19-6 and placed second at the EIWS . He also travelled to the NCAA championship, but he was eliminated in the early competition. PETE CREAMER IN ACTION. Pete is the other co-capta-i91fof the 1982-83 season. The other returning lettermen are: senior Mark Troutman (158, 1981-82, 15-8-1) from Toms River, NJ; seniorJimJohnson (168, 198182, 4-2) form Dillsburg, PA; junior Kurt Rowlette (134, 1981 -82, 21 -7) from Nashua, NH; junior Mark Correll (177, 1981-82, 12-6-l)fromEaston, PA; junior Doug Billig (126, 1981-82, 6-6) from Allentown, PA; junior Doug Collina (134, 1981-82 , 4-0) from Easton, PA ; junior Mike Garvin (177, 1981-82, 5-5) from Paulsboro, NJ; and sophomore Jim Mulligan (167, 1981-82, 16-7-2) from Palisades, NY. Rounding out the roster are: sophomore Kevin Stanley ( 118, 1981-82, 1-4) from Baltimore, MD; sophomore Ron Bonnani (126, 1981-82, 112) from Boonton, NJ; sophomore Bob Nagle (142) from Jersey Shore, PA ; freshman Marc Sodano (118) from Doylestown, PA; freshman Steve Clark (126) from Doylestown, PA; freshman Gary Sanchez (134) from Mahanoy City,., PA; freshman Steve Karas (134) from Tappan Zee, NY; freshman Tom Jamicky (158) from Flemington, NJ; freshman Brian Mills (158) from Randolphy, MA; freshman Bill Hordendorf (167) from Reading, PA; freshman Paul · Wysocki, (190) from Danville, PA; freshman Frank Bifulco (HVT) from Bayshore, NY; freshman Jerry Scaringe (150) from Tappan Zee , NY; and freshman Jim McFadden ( 142) from Doylestown, PA . Coach Reese is entering his 30th season as the Colonel Head Coach, and h~ believes that this year's group of freshman is one of the best he has ever had at Wilkes. He believes that they will wrestle a lot, for it is a long season. The Colonels will be tested early as they face Lehigh (at home on December 1) and Navy (away on December 3) which are both ranked in the national top 15. Hopefully, it will be a tou~h start to a·great season . --=---_~....-..-=cc ~CO""....-....-~-.:icooo,,-.,.o""....-.A)Cr~~................

Capin _!Scholarship Honors _ Representatives from two major · New York accounting firms have initiated an endowed scholarship to honor Wilkes College President Robert S. Capin. Recently, Gerald A." Moffatt, a partner in Arthur Andersen & Co ., and John R. Miller, a partner in Peat , Marwick, Mitchell & Co., presented a letter to President Capin symbolizing commitment to endow the scholarship . The letter said, in part, "Over the years, you have touched the lives of many people in a positive manner. Some of your former students have become partners with the largest international firms .in the accounting world , and leaders iri various American corporations . Other students have benefitted from your insight, your sense of humor and the value system by which you live . " · Capin, who was once a student in the institution he now heads, graduated with a bachelor of science degree in economics iq. 1950. He subsequently earned the M.B.A. from Lehigh University and was certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsy- lvania as a Certified Pu blic Accountant. After serving as a Pu blic Accountant for the firms of Laventhol and Horwath and the Sitkins Metal Company in Wilkes-Barre and Lewistown, he started his own accounting firm and began teaching at Wilkes College on a part-time basis .

Theatre Festiv~I Hosted By Wilkes C9llege BEACON SCOOP: Cinderlla finally meets her Prince Charming at Wilkes College's 50th Anniversary Cinderella Ball! Apparently Cinderella searched for the prince for the past three years at Wilkes under the pseudonym of Lor Martin. Little did she know that the prince had the same idea, mascarading as Greg Marshall. T hanks to the help of Dean Ralston, Jay Tucker , and Dean Lampe, th e h a ppy couple was fi n ally reuni t ed.

Photo: Steve Tho mas The 15th Annual American College Theatre Festival will be held from January 12 to 16 at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. According to Jav Siegfried, director of the CPA, the festival is one of many throughout the United States. The American College Festivals are divided into 12 regions . Pennsylvania is a part of Region II, which consists of New York, .New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Wa~hington D.C. · Siegfri ed said the fest ival will he presente<l by the John F. Ken nedy . Center for the Perform ing Arts. The preliminary schedule of events will include many workshops on the methods and techniques of the stage. It will also include three major productions which will be held at the end of each day of the festival. The productions to be performed will be the shows that have been chosen to be the best of abo ut 30 productions entered into the compet ition. Productions from any of th e schools in the region are eligible to be in the competition . Whery a show is entered, representatives are sent to watch and cri tique the production . It is then judged in comparison to other schools. According to Si egfried, this year there were onlv 30 out of 220 schools to enter· the festival. One reason many schools do not enter is because of the expense . The entry fee is about $80 per production. Wilkes College has entered the Elephant Man, but, according to Siegfried, the production cannot wi n because he is chairman of the region. This factor excludes the production from competition. However, he commented that any of his productions may be entered for the students' benefit. The Elephant Man was entered so that Chris Lonstrup, a senior theatre arts major at Wilkes College , could compete for the Irene Ryan Scholarship. T he workshops are for everyone. Siegfried said that any one interest· ed in theatre or commun ications will fi nd the workshops interest . ing. He commentei:l on how some of the workshops may be of interest to the public. On Th ursday, Roger Simon Hendrick is having a " Directing Workshop" in· which he will relay some of the man y experiences he has had working with actors with different degrees of experience. He will also comment on how the actors from many places.~uch as the Netherlands, England, and France, di ffer from America n actors. Another workshop on Saturday, according to Siegfri ed. which may be of some interest to the people of this area is by Zbignew Cynkaus on " A Polish Lab ' Approach to Performance Work , " which may include a film on the Polish theatre .

Just what can we do about this expensive luxury!' Most vandalism is ohserved hy another person , whether a friend or onlooker. The role they play is a passive one. Let's take that passive role and make it an active one. To become active, the person needs incentive . Good idea! What better incentive than money. Let's make the reward worthwhil P. ThP rpw~rrl of ,ion ... sounds like a nice number. Not many of us would mind giving a dollar to establish a fund for this purpose. Anyone can contributestuden,ts, clubs, the college. Post a small- $100 REW ARD on every door. Every person on ~ campus would be continuously aware that if they vandalize, their best friend could be $100 richer. When it comes to money , friends and relatives are soon parted. The moral majority is tired of paying for this expensive luxury . Ruth Schmitt Editor's Note: To the charges made against The Beacon by Dr. Virginia Nehring concerning coverage of recent changes in the Nursing Department (The Beacon, 19 November, 1982, p. 4), the following reply is in order: We appreciate Dr. Nehring's desire to further articulate and/or clarify the recent developments in and i:he various activities of her department, and entourage her as well as any other interested party to write to us and discuss their department's activities. However, we must take exception to her accusation that The Beacon's reporting was "distorted and inaccurate," for after extensive examination of the article in questio°; and of Dr. Nehring' s objection~, as set forth in her letter, we must conclude that this was not so. Our reporter noted that the Nursing Department has been on provisional approval from the State Board of Nursing Examiners, and that Dr. Nehring expects the full approval to be returned this fall to the school; that the department now has three associate professors on its staff; that NLN accreditation is '' not mandatory or necessary ... but it makes it easier for those students who wish to go on for their Master's (degrees) in nursing to get accepted at a school''; and that the NLN tests '' can give students an idea of how they will do on the State Boards.'' These are facts, facts substantiated by Dr. Nehring in her letter of reply. Perhaps Dr. Nehring takes exception to the quoted remarks in the article . If so, we would remind her, and others, that when a Beacon reporter conducts an interview, all conversation, remarks, etc. between reporter and interviewee are '' on the record'' unless expressly agreed upon to be otherwise. The interviewee should keep this fact in mind when responding to reporter's questions. If Dr. Nehring thinks her remarks in the article were quoted inaccurately, she should have noted this in her letter, which she did not. But if she thinks that her remarks should not have been used in the article, that they are of the type to cast doubt on her department or staff, then she should not have made them to our reporter during the interview. We at The Beacon, like Dr. Nehring, are "proud to be associated with Wilkes College," and like her and her staff, we are working hard to improve our program. Criticism of our efforts is always welcomed; we only ask that this criticism be founded on fact and expressed without animosity. Though Dr. Nehring termed our reporting "distorted and inaccurate," she did not, we feel, give sufficient reason to substantiate that claim . From all of us a t The B eacon, to the faculty, staff, administration, and especially the student body-Happy Holidays!!!

Maybe your article was censored by High er ups, telling you what to print and what not to! But your research did not hit home, why not tell it all, report all the facts , or maybe you asked questions to the wrong people. I.wish you would of asked me a few questions , your pe n would of run out of ink! Lets anal yze vanJalism a little closer , wh y does th is h appen ? Well its very si mple: 1. People caught get off very ligh tly. For instance, lets.say John Doe ri ps down a wooden sem aphore . Wh at happens to him ? He goes before the Dean or wh omever he is told to see. Well John you are a bad boy! Y 0 11 owe the college $4 5.00 , John' s repl y , " I'm sorry " Dean (or wh omever). So John writes home and asks M ommy or Daddy fqr 145.00 or probabl y $60.00 so he' ll h ave $ 15 .00 left to bu y 2 cases of Beer and go out and do it again! Th is is certainly no way to solve a problem . 2. Wh en ca ught! Dismiss the person from the college, no excuses, send him down the Ri ver without a paddle. ' Expell H im 1 or Her ! By now you are probably asking yourself who is this Hard Liner writing this article? Well I 'm a Secu rity Guard! and yo ur thin kin g to your self? No Wonder! I.et me tell yo u why I personally feel thi \ way . First let me say this, I agree that only a very small percentage of the college students are responsible. Maybe as small as two percent! But why are these people never caught? Well nobody likes to be a squealer or fink, but if you see or hear someone doing damage you must think of yourself first, Ask your self a few questions? \\'.hy does tuition go up? Why are some college functions cancelled? Why are some things that are important to · your self never get don e? Wh y? Because of that lousy two perce nt! Th at two percen t of people who coul d care less abo ut a College edu cation or the People around them. Think about it ? T hen do something about it ! Yes, Vandalism has even come to me personally. M y car was broken into , Items stolen , A Clock Radio , 3 books , a carton of cigarettes and a blanket. But th ese things can be replaced , ri ght? Wrong ' The books especially were im portant to me. These books were signed by authors and are irreplaceable. H ow would yo u like to come out to you r ca r and fi nd ti res flatened, Hu b caps stolen, broken antenna, ripped off m irror and th is has happened more th an once! Wh y me ? I don't harass or hin der anybody I'm only doing my job as set by College regulations, your Rules not m ine. So when you come ,,, Fou nder's Hall after 2 A.M . and an \ SK ED FOR YOUR I.D. card. dun ' t cry and curse me, see vnur Student Government and cha!l!.!•· the rules . One more point I would like cleared up. Recently, ahout 2 weeks ago I over heard 3 people talking in Stark Learning Center One was saying someon·e had stolen his jacket out of his ca r and another person said th at· s nothing new! and the third said to the Security Guards its their fault , Well maybe so! But wh at these people don 't kn ow is there are onl y Two Sec urit y Guards on dut y when there should be fou r or even fi ve. Two Guards ca n not cover an area as large as this Campus is and to th at I person who said for th e money they get they shou ld be there when need ed. Well let me te ll these unin fo rm ed people that a Security Guard' s pay is Minimum Wage thats ri ght $3.35 an hour which I' m em ha rrassed to even say , Try run ning a house, keep a ca r going , pay yo ur utilities and eat on these wages 1 Well , yo u wi ll all find that 0 1 when yo u graduate and get out int u th e world, and I wish you all good luck I Remember a Security Guard is here to help yo u , not hinder or harrass you. So the next tim e you see a Securit y Guard, Try something new like say ing HELLO in stead of tel ling him to go to HELl. 1 Happy Holidays to those 98 % . Ch r is T h omas Security! Founder's Hall �Dc:ccmberl0,1982,TheBeaa.u,l'ageS 1 Proper Perspective ........................................................................................... by James.Watkinson Late last week, Ted Kennedy announced that he would not be a candidate for the presidency .in the 1984 election. Citing " family reasons,'' he took himself out of the race to the dismay and constern l ation of the liberal wing of the demo\ cratic party. For whatever reasons Kennedy decided to withdraw hi~ 1me from consideration for the -ty's nomination, I am con _ed that it was the right move-Jth for Kennedy and the Democratic Party . The rpajor reason for this conclusion is that while Kennedy would probably have run away with the nomination, it is doubtful that he could have beaten the Easter Bunny in a presi dential race. ,The people of this country still remember his lack of driving skills and his programs are still too far removed from what is now the mainstream of social, economic , and political thinking. The Republican Party should be worried by this turn of evetts because they were as aware as most others that Ted Kennedy would have been the easiest candidate to run against in 1984. Now .the field 7 is wide open for candidates who have heretofore enjoyed · little of the limelight within the Democratic Party and who may be able to offer the party a chance to finally get together. If the economy, unemployment, the deficit, foreign trade , and foreign relations continue on their present, deprrssing path and Ronald Reagan decides to run again, ANYONE whom the Democrats nominate will stand an excellent chance of winning. The cast of characters who stand waiting in the wings for a· chance at the Democratic nomination is long : Cranston and Hart on the left, Fritz Mondale in the middle, and John Glenn on the right, to name but a few . It will be an in_teresting race for the nomination and I hope that the Democrats, with Teddy out of the race now, will turn away from there fratricidal tendencies of the past and put the party hack together . Speaking of fratricide, it looks as though Mr. Reagan's MX system, Dense Pack, and the Pentagc,n budget in general are in jeopard,.·. The MX just barely made it through an appropriation committee this week that has normally voted for almost any new toy the Presiclt:nt or the Pentagon has asked for. Even Howard Baker has warned the President that this project of his faces severe, if not insurmountable difficulties, in Congress. Few people realize that there is also a proposal afoot that would call for an additional anti-ballistic missile system should MX be fund ed . Makes sense doesn ' t it? A missile system to protect a missle system to protect the Minuteman missle system to protect the country. This does not count the Trident missle system, the bomber-based missle system, or the proposed European-based Pershing II system . As was pointed out in recent "no nukes" referenda around the coun try, we the people have had enough of nuclear proliferation . I trust that Congress will have enough sense to listen to the people and enough intestinal fortitude to act accordin,gly. Finallv, the President made his much -ballyhooed trip to Latin America last week. The results were predictable. Ronald Reagan's In Guatamala, the President spent thirty minutes , count 'em, thirty minutes with the President of Guatamala. In this great length of time, the President of the United States was able to ascertain that the Guatamalans were '' getting a raw deal.'' Reagan felt this strongly enough to offer military aid to Guatamala. This comes in the wake of an Amnesty International ongoing obsession with finding a communist behind every subtle movement in that region got in the way of making a11y real progress there. It did not stop the Reagan administration from offering financial support and arms to a few of the more repressive govern ments in the region . The President, in his trip to Brazil, did not bother to ask to see the sickening slums of Rio de Janiero or Sao Paulo. Yet. he was willing to loan billions to this country, the sixth greatest economic power in the world, which won't do something to alleviate the appalling poverty which pervades that country-and yet, paradoxically, he won't support a jobs program in this country. These actions, and inactions. are incomprehensible. report which revealed that 2,600 Guatamalans have been murdered by government troops within the last six months. With that information in mind, one can only assume that the Guatamalan president gave one hell of a thirty minute speech. The President also said that he was prepared to certify to Congress that El Salvador "had made sufficient progress in correcting human rights abuses to warrant a six-month renewal of its military aid. " This, the aforementioned situation in Guatamala , and Latin American policy as a whole point out two things clearly. First, Mr. Reagan and his administration will continue to support some of the most repressive regimes in the world, using the communist menace as an alibi. Secondly , Reagan does not have any understanding of the term "human rights" and certainly has no intention of seeing that they are protected in Central and South America. Conservative Coninient ............................................................................... \... by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. When we opened the first issue of The Beacon way back in September, wf.' were not at all surprised to find "Cot1~rvative Comment" accompanied by a liberal response, James Watkinson's "Proper Perspective." We find open political debate enjoyable, but we also look upon it as performing a more important duty-that of informing the public on key issues. James Watkinson has done his part in presenting the opposite point of view, but as the weeks have gone by we have become more and more astounded by some of the accusations and insults Mr. Watkinson has heaped upon his opponents. After 10 weeks of " Proper Perspective , " here is our repiy. On September 10, in his first column, Mr. Watkinson lashed out ' at Israel, . the Begin government , and President Reagan. Anyone can accept an honest disagreement with Israeli policy, but to question the government's sanity is another ' matter. Mr. Watkinson said "(The Reagan plan) assumes there is a rational government in Israel." About Reagan, Mr. Watkinson said. "It is time for this administration to take off its blinders and pull out its ear plugs ... " If President Reagan did have on .blinders, would he have even recognized or pr0posed a solution to the Palestinian question? We think not. September 17 found Mr. Watlcinson claiming Reagan showed a · 'remarkable lack of understandng '' on the Soviet natural gas pipeline. This implies 'that the president and other pipeline critics (including ourselves) had no coherent basis for their anti-pipeline , stand<;. Quite to the contrary, the anti-pipeline arguments were at least economically and morally the equal of any pro-pipeline stand, and were ·well formulated and sensible. If Mr. Watkinson disagreed, fine, but to insinuate that his opponents did not even understand Conscientious Objector status, so if one is an authentic objector, there is no problem. Second, failure to register is illegal. Does the president 's denouncing of illegal activity really make him against civil liberties? The answer is quite obvious. How about this one on November 5 : '' .. . the public will no longer stand for the ravings of those (nuclear freeze opponents) who would lead us to nuclear holocaust." To even suggest that free7.,.e opponents desire nuclear war is ridiculous in the extreme. Mr. Watkinson should understand that although the means of both sides are different, the ends they wish to achieve are the sameprevention of nuclear war. It is un fortunate that such absurd claims should cloud the discussion of such a vital issue. On November 12, Mr. Watkinson said of Jerrr Falwell , "Let's face it, the man s oot all there , " after claiming that Falwell was a On October 1, Mr. Watkinson "borderline psychotic. " We really claimed that "Right to Life groups, don't know how to answer such a while professing a great deal of compreposterous claim. It's too bad passion , really have none . . . '' that because Falwell does not agree After hours of contemplation, we with Mr. Watkinson, and for that still come up with no rationalizamatter the rest of the liberal media, tion for this statement. Whether - he is subject to such sc;athing derisone is for or against abortion , one ion because he fights for what he usually recognizes that anti-aborbelieves. If fighting for your opinions is psychotic, then this nation tionists believe they are fighting for human life, which is about as comwas founded on lunacy. Finally, on November 19, Mr. passionate as one can get. To Watkinson proclaimed that Ronclaim this compassion does not exist ald Reagan is a McCarthyist. Mr. is most insulting and uncalled for. October 8 found Mr. WatkinWatkinson, you see, does not belson insinuating that the Reaga!} ieve the president when he charges that there has been outside instigaAdministration was nothing short of repressive. First, he accused the tion of the nuclear freeze movement. Unfortunately for Mr. WatReagan administration of followin~ a "blatantly militaristic course.' kinson, the State Department has a list of nine reputable publications If Reagan's 23 percent of the budwhich have evidence to the same get for defense and draft registraeffect, and the FBI has become intion is militaristic, then John F. volved in the investigation. Again, Kennedy's 45 percent for defense because Ronald Reagan simply has and then current draft makes information that Mr. Watkinson Kennedy look like Adolph Hitler! does not want to hear, Mr. WatMr. Watkinson follows this with a kinson feels obliged to answer with reference to men who failed to rega vicious personal attack. We find ister, by saying, ''this administrathis unfortunate. tion does not take kindly to these The purpose of this reply to sorts of expression of individualism ''Proper Perspective'' is twofold. and civilliberty." Mr. Watkinson fails to mention two points: First, Primarily, we wish to demonstrate Selective Service does provide · for the issue is absurd. James Watkinson 's September 24 column was one which even antiReagan people found hard to swallow. Here, Mr. Watkinson did not just criticize President Reagan, he called Reagan a liar when the presi dent claimed an_eEJ~ndit_l:!re bill that came in under budget was a budget buster. Mr. Watkinson said , ''Reagan. however, is willing to lie to the country ." Does Mr. Watkinson not understand that th is expenditure bi II went over budget on social programs that were to be reduced? Military expendi tures were reduced , so the hill did come under budget. The social budget , which accounts for 53 percent of the federal budget, was i•n effect " busted." To call Presi dent Reagan a ''liar ' ' because of this borders on slander . A little restraint on Mr. Watkinson ' s part would have been appropriate. some of the inaccuracies and fal lacies presented weekly by Mr. Watkinson, which may tend to confuse the public. Second, we hope Mr. Watkinson will realize that such unsubstantiated claims on his part can only discredit him and detract from the finer points of his columns. It is much more constructive to talk issue rather than personality. We apologize if at any point in this column our disagreements with Mr. Watkinson came across as personal attacks. Any such intonation on our part is purely unintentional; furthermore, we do not claim to be saints in the world of political writers, but we do try to sµbstantiate all of our claims. It was our belief that a reply to Mr. Watkinson was appropriate at this time. Since this is the final edition of The Beacon this year, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to all of our reader/i., both those who agree with us and those who disagree, and also The Beacon staff for allowing us to present the conservative point of view. Happy Holidays to all, and we'll be back next year to celebrate the beginning of the '83 economic recovery.

Clarinetist Displays 'Unique Style' According to . music critics throughout the country, Richard Stoltzman is well on his way to joining the ranks of music-world superstars. Local audiences were offered the opportunity to judge for themselves when Stoltzman recently appeared as a guest of the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . The first clarinetist ever to give a solo performance in Carnegie Hall, Stoltzman has a repertoire which.encompasses everything from Dixieland Jazz to Mozart and Brahms. His program at Wilkes included a broad sampling of that versatility . He played from Bach and Busch and also did a tribute to Benny Goodman . Commenting on his unique style, he said, "Many people are surprised at the sound potential of the clarinet. Often their expectations were formed at the junior high school level, so they never experienced the clarinet as an instrument with a full range of emotion. I try to make it sound as close to a human voice as is possible, exploring tone colors , extremes of.dynamics , range and interpretive possibilities. I want the audience to forget · there's a clarinet between it and the music ." Stoltzman lives in Oakland , California, with his wife, Lucy, who is an accomplished chamber music artist and former Associate Concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony.

Today though, the publishing scene has changed . Large conglomerates have taken over many of the old publishing houses . The result has been the concentration on the short-term success of the "big name'' authors at the expense of the unknowns trying to have their works put between hard covers. One consequence of the new trends in publishing has been the decrease in the number of serious works comii:ig out each year and an increase in the amount of less serious works , as witnessed by Erma Bornbeck having three titles on the Top Ten Best Seller List for 1970 to 1980. There is, however, a chance that the publishing world will soon be returning to the days when there was . ··· ·· as much attention paid to the written line as the bottom line, at least according to one Philadelphia-based author who spends two days a week in the Wyoming Valley area. Toby Olson, the writer-inresidence at Wilkes College, said he has a feeling that the big corporations which now control the publishing industry may be thinking of ridding' themselves of their publishing divisions. " I sense the conglomerates are finding out they're not getting the right return on their dollar. They'll dump these things if the profit margin isn't right," said Olson . The 45 -year-old Olson, as associate professor at Temple University, is the author of two novels and 15 books of poetry .

One of his goals at a school like Wilkes is to bring together all the students on campus who are writers so that they can talk about their craft. As for the overall condition of lit• erature on college campuses today , Olson sees a decline in interest among students. "In general , students don ' t read as much for pleasure," he said. Laying much of the blame for the · present state of affairs on the publishing houses, he said , "today's publisher doesn't attempt to elevate the reading audience as much as he u ys to pander to them .''

Reese stated, "the team usually wrestles well against them, but this time the kids ~ere tight and did not wrestle really well." However, considering the fact that the Lehigh team boasts two national champions and two Eastern champions, the loss is understandable.

There is no doubt about it, football is a very expensive sport. But consider for a moment that football atuacts more students to Wilkes than any other sport.

Although I could not obtain a dollar figure as to the amount of money spent on football at . Wilkes, I was told by members of the athletic department that the $26,800 in tuition generated by thes~ players far exceeds the operating budget of the program . . · I think the people who are calling for an end to football are more concerned with the teams record than they are with the expense involved . I doubt that there was any talk of dropping the program when the team was running up 32 straight wins. How often do we hear cries to end wrestling at Wilkes? If expense is the problem, maybe we should drop all sportS. Even beuer, let's abolish all extracurricular activities. Think of the money we would save on tuition if we abolished spons, speech and debate, publication of a school newspaper, the Academi_!: Support Center ... etc. Obviously, I'm being facetious. Any worthwhile learning institution knows the importance of these activities as part of total educat.ion . Too often we overlook athletics as an educational experience. · When I came to Wilkes, I left a v~ry successful high school football program . It was hard for me to adjust to the 3-6, o.:'9 and 1-8 seasons. as a ColoneL I can remember my family and friends asking me why. Why go ~ack_ year after year? _Like mo_st players I wasn't rc;_ceiving any money for playing at Wilkes. The team was ab object of ridicule at the College . About aH I was getting out ofit 'fas.a beaten body. So, I .began to ask myself, "Why?" One day I found the answer. " I wasn' t practicing that day becaµse my eye was swollen shut from a practice injury. As I waited for the team cfoctor I strolled ~ound the field house. I found a dedication plaque with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt on it . ''Far better is it to dare mighty i.hings, to win gloriou triumph ev!;:n though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight.that knows not victory or defeat." . From that point, I never again asked myself, " Why? " The comments from sports writers and guys in the dorm didn't borher me any more . Most of the people who have cut down the program over the years have never gone out there and put it all on the line. I feel sorry for these people because they don't know what ies like to truly win or lose . By playing foo tball at Wilkes, I have learned a great deal about myself and others . I have learned about the power which comes through cooperation. I have learned what it is like to give every ounce of effort arid still come away defeated . I have learned that to be successful you've got to go out there day afterdaywithout ·any guarantee of winning. Sure , it's just a game, but to me it has been an exercise in life , a valuable lesson that I wouldn ' t have learned from a book or a lecture . Soon I will be an alumnus of Wilkes and I would feel very bitter if the College dropped the program . I say this not only because I'm a former player, but because I believe that if the program is abolished other spans and activities will soon follow . Football , like all other out-of-the-classroom activities, is an important part of what this College is supposed to srand for. As the College 's guide to education states, "An educated man knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance .'' YES ==>> a NO <<== , by Ellen Van Riper EDITOR'S NOTE: The following proposition is not necessarily (he opinion of the writer. The Beacon Sports Department; or of The Beacon itself. It is being presented purely for the sake of argument as an example of what could possibly happen if the College continues to face economic difficulties in the future , At present the entire nation is feeling the effects of an economic recession. Times are tough, and there are unfortunately few signs of recovery at least within the immediate future . American colleges and universities have not remained unscathed . Costs are up and enrollments are down, and many institutions are experiencing exueme difficulties . Many have been forced to re-evaluate their budgets and programs. Wilkes College has been no stranger to all of these problems . As a result , the administration has had to cut budgets and various programs. Such necessitated measures are not popular with all of the people assodated with the Colleg~. but we all must tighten our belts for all of our sakes . Faltering and expensive programs should be either curtailed or discontinued . One such failing program whi<;h is costly is the football team. Due to the inherent hazardous nature of the sport, it is extremely expensive. A College c:mnot afford to field a team cheaply : The players must have the best available c;quipment for their protection, and such quality costs . Considering this a~d the fact that the team has failed to produce a winning season in the past eight years, one would _have ,to question t,he viability of retaining such a program. I ask, what pnce for a football team?, and I answer, too much . The ·costs of establishing and maintaining a football team are many and · ' are high . Equipment alone is astronomical, especially when multiplied by 4 5 · or 50 p_layers. There are costs for uniforms, cleats, helmets, and padding. And unfortunately, much of this equipment lasts for less than three years . · There are also costs associated with the field, the stadium, training equipment and facilities, and transportation and food. In addition, there is a need for a number of specialized coaches. _ ~ere are probably other costs related to this sport, but the point is that it 1s either the first or second most expe~sive athletic program at Wilkes. (I do not know the exact budget figures for the various programs, but I would presume that the wrestling team may lead in this category .) If the program were successful year in and year out, retainment of it would be justifiable, for various reasons . A successful program would attract students to Wilkes and fans to the stands. Unfortunately, this is not the case . The team has not been a winner for eight years, and things have been particularly dismal the past two seasons (a two-year record of 1-17). The result has been a decline in participation and a decline in spectator attendance . In other ~ords, the program is not successfully justifying itself. The discontinuation of the football program would not be popular with everybody at the College for obvious reasons, but such a measure could be beneficial. The funds could be reapportioned and channeled into other College programs . Personally, I would like to see most of it allotted to the other athlet!c programs. They could be upgraded, and in time the College would not miss the footba~ program.Just think of all of the equipment that could be purchased for the other teams. Such a reapportionment could provide tremendous boost to all of the other p rograms. · Footba:11 is a very popular sport, but it is expensive. If a team has not had continued success and large numbers of participants for a number of years, the program should be r~-evalu~ted. Such a measure is especially necessary durmg such economic difficulties as those now being experienced by the College. a �Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 187~ BEACON SPORTS Vol. XXXV No.12 December 10, 1982 Lady Colonel Cagers Split First Four Games Of Year by Ellen Van Riper ''Commendable'' is the adjective that Lady Colonel Head · Coach Nancy Roberts used to describe her team's performance so far this season. The ladies opened 1982-83 on the road at the Indiana U_niversity of Pennsylvania Tournament. November 19 and 20, and they were handed two close setbacks. However, more recently on December 2 · and 4. they have recorded two impressive victories to even the season slate at 2-2. The early games at Indiana served a dual purpose for the L~y Colonels. First of all, the contests afforded them a golden opportunity • to learn Coach Roberts' system and to become acquainted with each other's talents and abilities. Secondly, the tournament provided a glimpse of just how good these ladies could be . Both of the opponents, Malone and Westminster, were Division II institutions , so the Lady Colonels were issued quite a challenge . Even though they did lose , they played well, as evidenced by the total point difference of six between the two games . On November 19 the Lady Colonels were defeated by Malone 70-66, and the high scorer for the Lady Colonels was sophomore guard Charlene Hurst with 21. Hurst received support from freshman Michelle Zowioski and from junior Co-Captain Kim Smith . Zowioski had an all-around impressive game tallying 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds . Smith chipped in with 11 points . Zowioski received support on the backboards from junior Co-Captain Karen Bove who snared nine total. The next day the ladies faced Westminster, and the difference was in this one a field goal, 7 3- 71. This time the team mustered a balanced scoring attack. Leading the way was freshman guard Donna Martin with 19, and right behind her was Smith. with 18 and 11 rebounds. Zowioski chipped in 11 points and 12 rebounds , and Hurst added 10. Providing strength to the rebounding was another freshman , Michalene Chernicavage, who took down nine caroms . Once back in amongst the familiar surroundings of the Wyoming Valley, the Lady Colonels discovered the winning touch. On December 2, the ladies played their season home opener against the Aggies of Delaware Valley. Throughout the game, the Lady Colonels, despite a poor field goal percentage, were able to continu- ously build margins in double figures . The ladies were able to overcome some hot shooting by the Aggies, and they recorded their first victory of the season by a score of 7467. In this game the offense was spearheaded by Donna Martin and Kim Smith who both hit for 20 plus. Martin played an all-around excellent game and provided steady scoring all night to egd with 27 . Smith scored most of her points in the second half, and at one point she single-handedly suppressed an Aggie comeback. She tallied 22.overall. The other Lady Colonel in twod igits was Charlene Hurst with 10. Defensively, both Karen Bove and Michalene Chernicavage provided solid performances . Bove hauled in 13 rebounds, and Chernicavage swatted away an amazing 12 shots to establish a new school record . Two days later, the Lady Colonels journeyed to Marywood College to face the Pacers . Traditionally, Marywood has been a tough opponent for the Wilkes women, and it remained that way for a while . Aided by some hot shooting, the Marywood team established an early eight point lead over the Lady Colonels. However, the ladies in the blue and gold came back with some offense power of their own to erase this deficit and establish their own of 15 . From this point on , the Lad y CONCENTRATION IN TRAFFIC.

Capin said the reason for the delay in closing the deal is due to the amount of documentation and the collecting of finances. He added that he sees no further delays in the transaction. Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, said the building was sold because of a long standing commitment to consolidate the college's area.

Going out planning to have a·good ·time, only to almost have your evening ruined because of something you really can't change . .. that's a real drag. Last Friday night, at what turned out to be the best Homecoming Dance I've attended (all thanks to the incredible efforts of one Beth Cortez), my managing editor and I were treated to not only strenuous interrogation • about the authors of "Every Breath You Take," The Beacon gossip column, but also to a weak attempt-at a hurtful prank of high school proportions. · A friend (I think) handed me the above printed letter complete with the decorative envelope we decided to include so everyone could enjoy it. My friend alleges (" alleges," how newspaper-like) that the note was slipped under his door. That marvelous work of poor grammar and spelling (I didn't realize " Abbey" was spelled like "Westminster Abbey " ) plus more than a few antagonistic remarks om more than a few people dampened my fun for a few minutes. However, as I sat out the band's wonderful (I'm being sarcastic) Doobie Brothers medley, I had a chance to reflect on "Gossipgate" as a whole. I came to the conclusion that I'm angry, disgusted, and pleased with the campus response to the gossip column : 1 . I'm angry that anyone would try to tell me how to do my job. More than one person pompously informed me that it's " my job" to . edit the gossip column, thus supressing " questionable" material. It takes a lot of nerve for someone who has never worked at a newspaper to tell anyone who does, what to do. -Since I don't write the gossip column and rarely recognize more than half the people mentioned, it's kind of hard to decide what's " questionable.': · -If I edit something for one person, what's to keep more people from begging to be " edited?" 2. I'm angry that some people on this campus are still jnto cheap, childish stunts like that note from the " Maligned Few." Is this just the beginning of tawdry, cowardly attempts at revenge?

I'm disgusted that The Beacon staff works hard each week to put out what we hope is an informative, interesting, sometimes controversial paper, and all we get letters about is the gossip column . 4. I'm pleased that we are getting some letters about something. Any response, positive or negative, is better than total silence. Next time someone decides to write in about Ann and Abby, why not give me a cheap thrill and make a comment about the front page or something. 5. I'm disgusted with the powers of deduction of Wilkes students. Everyone is taking the easy way out and automatically assuming that because the gossip column is signed Ann and Abby, two women write it and therefore, it is Donna Nitka and myself. Did it ever enter anyone's mind that maybe Ann and Abby is a cover for one person or six people or the deans of Student Affairs? 6. I'm pleased with some of the guesses people have made about who really writes 'the gossip column. If nothing else; it gives me an occasional laugh . 7. I'm overjoyed that people are complaining about " Every Breath You Take," because no matter what they say, it proves what I've been telling my staff all along: love it or hate it, everyone reads it. Overall, I'd have to say that the gossip column has generated more interest and controversy on this campus than things like the fact that the U-S . appears to beaded toward full military action in half the third world countries on this planet, or the ever-present threat of having no viable Democratic opponent to Ronald Reagan in 1984. The Beacon will continue tp print " Every Breath You Take " unedited , and in all its mud-slinging glory. So, while you 're sitting around giggling, being offended, or being mortified by its contents, why not try and slog through a few news articles. You might accidently read something worth knowing .

Haggerty, Jr. Did you ever stop to wonder what the world will be like in ten years? Well, when we were searching for a topic for this week's column, we did. In particular, what 's in store for , say, the pencil industry? We searched for some first hand information in this field, and here ' s what we came up with. We seemed to have stumbled upon · a prophet. His name is Monte Throdahl , and he is senior vicepresident for Monsanto. Believe it or not he has spoken about the future of the pencil industry, and we have dedicated our column to his findings. This is the story of the U.S. pencil industry. Remember, we are looking back from our vantage point of 1993. It 's strange to think that, back in 1983, just anyone could use a pencil any way they wanted to. You see , it all started when the Occupational Safety and Health Act carcinogen policy went into effect. The graphite in the pencil leads - always contained a residue of crystalline silica and there was at least one animal test and an in-vitro test indicating that crystalline silica produced tumors.

Monsell Brother and sister dorm selection was a topic of major concern to the Inter-Residence Hall Council . President Al Melusen expressed his desire to see each residence hall pick a brother or sister dorm. Melusen sees this as a chance to promote cohesiveness among the residence halls. Advisor Paul Adams sees it as an opportunity for the representatives of each residence hall to take a leadership role among their dormmates. The advantage of having a brother or sister dorm, according to Melusen, is not only meeting a lot of new people, but also having another dorm with which to co-sponsor a Student Center party. Residence halls that sponsor a party .at the S.C. receive $50 for doing so from IRHC. Ralph Pringle, representative of Student Government, also added that if .dorms needed more money for their parties, they can go to SG and request funds or take out a loan. .

Fri. 7 a.m. : 4 p.m. Adams also expressed his views on the support of the students for the sports teams, especially the football team. He said he hopes the students will support the teams well this Homecoming weekend. ''People criticize the football team without knowing how much dedication and hard work these guys put in. They should be commended rather than ridiculed,'' said Adams. Melusen also brought up the idea that IRHC should find a logo and create a slogan that will allow the students to identify the council at functions such as the Block Party last week. Dave Kalinowski, president of Commuter Council, thought the Block Party was a success and commended IRHC for the work they did. He apologized on behalf of Commuter Council since there weren't any Commuter Council members there to help out. Melusen and Pringle said that they enjoyed the event . and would like to possibly have another Block ·Party in the spring when the weather is warmer. Melusen also announced the appointments of new Recording Secretary, Diane Haberkern, new Corresponding Secretary, Diane Charsha, and new Publicity Chairperson, Steve Jeffries. Melusen expressed his anger about the Upsala football team having to eat in our cafeteria around the same · time that everyone else was trying to eat. Melusen said he didn't enjoy standing in line for an hour waiting to eat dinner. He had no objections to feeding the players, but he said he wished they would have opened the cafeteria earlier or scheduled a special time for the visiting players to eat. Lastly, Melusen wanted to thank the people who usually park in the Evans parking lot for parking somewhere else during the Block Party. He feels that the party wouldn 't have been a success without their cooperation. The residence halls in attendance at last Sunday's meeting . were: Chesapeake, Colonel's, Delaware, Denison, ' Doane, Evan's 2/Male , Evan's 3/Female, Evan's 4/Female, Evan's 4/Male, Hollenback, Miner 5.

M. "The Good Doctor," the second production of the Wilkes College Theatre's 1983-84 season, is based upon various stories of Anton Chekhov. The play will be directed by Dr. Michael O'Neill. According to O'Neill, "The Good Doctor" is made up of nine short plays, some funny and some touching, which are introduced to the audience by a character called _" The 1 been like," said O'Neill. Just as important to "The Good Doctor," according to O'Neill, will be the ten or so actors and actresses who will be called upon to play a variety of comic characters. '' We will need a flexible cast," stated O'Neill, "and a cast which can make comedy work. After all, this is Neil Simon more than it is Chekhov.'' O'Neill also said that since there is music in "The Good Doctor," some singers will be needed. Actual production dates for The Good Doctor are November 18, 19, and 20.

The public speaking squad traveled to southern Pennsylvania to participate in the Shippensburg State University Novice Invitational Tournament. Twenty-three schools, with more than 150 contestants, gathered for this first competition of the year. Wilkes sent only three new speakers. However, these three continued the proud Wilkes tradition of winning. The Shippenburg State tournament marked the 8th season in a row that Wilkes has been victorious in its first tournament of the year. It is also significant that this was the 20th consecutive tournament at which Wilkes has won awards . Freshman Dan Duttinger was a 4th place finalist in Impromptu Discourse Competition and the 2nd place winner in the very difficult area of Persuasive O{atory. Dan finished the preliminary Persuasion rounds in first place . He finished ahead of 4 3 other contestants. In the finals he lost only to George Mason University, the top forensic school in the nation! Other members of the squad of. "Kinri<"y's Kicis" included Jennifer Soltis and A:ndrienne Dwyer. Their participation combined - with Duttinger' s, enabled Wilkes to take the overall 4th place honor. To Dr. K_inney, Director of Forensics, this was a very gratifying tournament. According to Prof. Kinney: " . . . co see Wilkes with it's small freshman.squad do so well against schools with 15 to 18 person teams means that we are doing something rig-ht. It is nice to see Wilkes in the winner's circle ." The varsity squad of the Debate Union will travel to the Washington, D .C. area for competition this weekend, again ~t a very tough, seasoned , national championship team from George Mason University at the Mason campus in Fairfax, Va. The Debate Union is open to any interested individual wanting to participate in public speaking competition and/or argumentation and debate . No previous experience necessary!

IL........................................................................ . ·I ..,_,i �Boaters Chalk Up Two More Wins . by Greg Losier The Wilkes soccer team increased their record to 4-1-1 last week by downing Muhlenberg '.2-1 , and Lycoming 3-0. The Colonel's third win came last Wednesday, September 28, when they took on Muhlenberg College. The first goal of the game was scored by Muhlenberg, due to a defensive mix up early in the first half by the Wilkes hooters. The ball was crossed to an unmarked Muhlenberg player who easily put it past goalie Bill Hankins. The remainder of the first half was controlled by Muhlenberg' s midfielders, but the Wilkes defense held the Mules to only one goal. The Colonels' first break came when freshman Mike Molloy was fouled late in the first half in the penalty area. The foul resulted in freshman Jeff Wertz , the leading goal scorer for Wilkes, slipping the ball under Muhlenberg's goalie, Mike . Diaz for the tying goal. The second half was frustrating, . with numerous fouls and outbursts of anger. Regulation time ended with a 1-1 tie which forced the playing of two, ten-minute, overtime periods. The Colonels proved how well conditioned they are by controlling both overtime periods and only substituting twice during the entire course of the game. The tie-breaking goal came when the Colonels' Mike Crusco beat the Muhlenberg goalie. He was off balance and left the ball for Wertz to finish, and put the Colonels ahead by a score of 2-1. The final minutes of the overtime periods showed Muhlenberg's frustration when one of the players grabbed freshman Matt Wasel and put him in -a headlock. This resulted in a bench-clearing push fight. The fight was quickly supressed and play resµmed after Wa5el was ejected and a Muhlenberg player yellow-carded. Freshman fullback Roy DeLay clears the ball from danger in Wilkes' 2-1 overtime victory over Muhlenburg College. Freshman forward Jeff Wertz beats a Lycoming defender en route to his first of two goals in the Colonels 3-0 win on Homecoming Saturday. Wertz is presently the leading scorer in the MAC with 7 seven goals and one assist. The game ended with the Colonels on top, 2-1. Muhlenberg held a 25-15 shot advantage and _Hankins was called upon to make 18 saves. The second of the two wins came on Homecoming day when the Wilkes Colonels played host to Lycoming College and defeated them by a score of 3-0, giving the Colonels their second shutout of the season. In the beginning of the first half of play neither Lycoming nor Wilkes showed much offense. Most of the game was played in the center of the field . Then , late in the first half, things started happening for the Wilkes strikers. Thirty-eight minutes into the game, freshman Mike Molloy was fouled just outside the penalty area and awarded a direct kick. The shot by Molloy was hit high and in the right corner of the goal, beating Lycoming goalie John Bozzi for the Colonels' first goal. "I saw that the Lycoming defense was taking a lot of time to set up their wall so I picked my spot and shot the ball as quick as I could,'' commented Molloy. The next goal of the game came three minutes later when Molloy chipped a perfect ball over the Lyc_?m- ing defense to junior co-captain Greg Losier. Losier took the ball down field and crossed the ball to Wertz, who easily beat his defender for the second goal. Early in the second half came Wilkes' last goal. Molloy was fouled just outside Lycoming' s penalty area and was awarded a free kick. Molloy passed the ball to Wertz who placed the ball in the upper left corner of the goal. This goal gave the offense of Molloy and Wertz a total of 11 goals in 6 games. Feeling confident of a win, Coach Wingert sent in his substitute players , who also held the Lycoming team scoreless. Contributing to the Colonel's shutout was a consistently strong defensive play on the part of freshmen Frank Wanzor and Gary Klopchin, arid junior co-captain Tim Williams. "I think the team executed restarts well, which we've had trouble with in the past. We also had the advantage of a good scouting report which enabled us to work on Lycoming's weaknesses,'' commented Coach Wingett. Wilkes held an 18-13 shot advantage and goalie Hankins is credited with 7 saves. �page 18 Only The Strongest Will Survive by Charlie Yozwiak Strength is the essence of competitive sports. It is that inner ability that one possesses to push harder, to come from behind and gain the upper hand against an opponent. Strength is that quality which allows you to jump higher, run faster, and hit harder than your opponent. Since strength is foundation of competitive sports, a solid strength program should be the basis of all sports programs. Many athletes on campus feel that this is not the case of Wilkes. The consensus among Wilkes athletes is that our weight room is outdated and under-equiped. The general feeling is that our weight room is not adequate to meet the needs of all Wilkes athletes. A possible solution to this problem would be to upgrade our weight room to suit the needs of athletes and students alike. This can be done by purchasing new equipment and expanding the present weight room to a "fitness center" which could accommodate both men and women. Obviously, sucli"'actions would require money, but I have been approached by members of the Student Government, the Wilkes Barbell Club, athletes and non-athletes alike , who are enthusiastic about raising money to upgrade the present facility. Such enthusiasm, if properly organized and channeled, could result in an excellent and up-to-date " fitness center" which will benefit both the student and th~ student-athlete, and add more power to Wilkes' athletics. In this world of competitive,collegiat,: athletics, strength has become more than an asset, it has become a necessity; This can only be attained with proper facilities and a sound st~ength program. , • • • • Ah, it's Fall again. The leaves turn all different types of colors, making the forest an irridescent spectrum of natural beauty. It's a great time to be alive. It's time for school (well, maybe not that) , football games, and hunting. It's time for us (outdoorsmen) to don the fluorescent orange garb and stalk our favorite prey on our favorite piece of wooded ground . Hunting season will be upon us very shortly. Small Game season (Gray, Black, and Red Squirrels) in Pennsylvania starts on October 15 (just in time for Fall Break). We are already in the midst of Deer Archery season, which began on October 1. Many non-hunters and radical conservationists believe that hunting is cruel and senseless. They are under the impression that hunters derive a demented pleasure from killing defenseless animals. First, the sport of hunting is far from cruel _The animals (deer, for example) would suffer a much worse fate if they weren't hunted during the year. . The ecosystem during the winter simply cannot support the entire deer population . There is just not enough food to go around . The deer that doesn't have , any food eventually will die of starvation . I think that sparing an animal of this fate is not cruel at all. Secondly, most hunters (including myself) don ' t get some kind of sick pleasure out of killing an animal. Sure , there are a few that do it for the sake of killing, but they are a small minority. Although there is a feeling of exhilaration when one is stalking game , this doesn't mean that that person is a sadist. When the adrenalin starts flowing, there is a feeling of excitement. Hunting is not a sadistic activity. It is necessary for the maintenance of the animal populations. Hunting not only prevents animal starvation in the winter, bu tit also provides big revenue to the state of Pennsylvania in the form of hunting licenses. This money is used to maintain our state parks and the wild game populations. Just think what would happen if we eliminated hunting. I don ' t even want to think about it . • • • • The Wilkes College Wrestling team will start practice on Monday, October 10 at 4 pm in the gymnasium. Anyone wishing to participate in the wrestling program as a wrestler, manager, or scorekeeper should contact Coach John Reese in the Weckesser Annex or atthe gymnasium. Lady Colonels · Bow To FDU by Valerie Roberts The Lady Colonels had a slight break last week with only two games on the schedule. The team travelled to FDU for the fourth consecutive road game and were able to beat the home team, 2-0. The team then battled arch rival , University of Scranton to an overtime, but lost 0-1. The team's record now stands at 3-5 after last weekend's game. Coach Gay Meyers mentioned that last Tuesday's game against FDU was the fourth in a row on the road and her team was playing every other day of the week. The team was ''tired.' ' The team had been playing a 4-2 system but changed the system to 5-3 traditional play. Coach Meyers hopes that by moving back to a traditional format her team will have a more effective offensive attack, enabling the defense to tighten up. Coach Meyers said that the team had a sloppy first half against FDU. The team then · settled down and ''played hockey.'' Twentyfive minutes into the second half, Wilkes scored on a key pass from Karen Johnson to Stacy Baldwin, who drove in the first goal. FDU threatened· the Wilkes ·lead when Wilkes fouled and FDU was awarded a penalty stroke. FDU missed their shot and Wilkes took the opportunity to score again . With less than a minute on the clock , Johnson passed to De bi Cometa who secured Wilkes with another goal. The Lady Colonels won 2-0. T earn statistics showed that the Lady Colonels had 12 shots on goal , 11 comers and goalie Tracy Kelly had 10 saves. Karen Johnson had the two key assists which aided Stacy Baldw~n and Debi Cometa to score. Homecoming festivities on Saturday pitted the Colonels against arch rival University of Scranton on the Colonels' home turf, in Kirby Park. Coach Meyers commented that the game against Scranton was better termed a " battle" for the MAC Northeastern Division. The team with the best record would advance to the MAC championship. This was the break at Scranton needed. Sharon Domzalski was hit in the mouth with the cork ball and required several stitches to close a lip wound from the accident. Karen Johnson also was injured when on a Scranton attack, she experienced • a muscle spasm in her back, during which Scranton was able to dodge the remainio gdefense and score.

The match was plagued by poor play on the part of both teams. It appeared as though Wilkes would have an easy day when they scored only eighteen seconds into the game , when Mike Molloy beat the Juniata keeper to the far post. At this point the Colonels fell apart and were unable to control the tempo of the game. Shortly thereafter, Juniata mid- fielder slipped through unmarked and was able to get a shot off to the near post. The score remained 1-1 through the rest of the first half and the first 33 minutes of the second half. At this point, there was a scramble in front of the Juniata goal and freshman stopper-back Gary Klopchin ruffled the netcords to put the Colonels up by a score of 2-1. The Colonels held on to win, putting Wilkes at 2-0 in their conference. �WC Football 0 WC -Cr Country 18 WC Tennis _ WC Field Hockey 2 0 ; Susquehanna 59 Baptist Bible 40 Bloomsburg 2 ot Muhlenburg 1 WC -Cr Country 15 WC Volleyball 3 Lycoming FDU-Madison 0 WC Soccer 3 WC-Cr Country 15 WC Field Hockey 0 Lycoming 0 lCCC Scranton WC Soccer Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa . 18766 • 40 ,· 43 FDU-Madison 0 9 ot 1 SCORE BOARD beacon sports Colonels Mauled By Susquehanna by Charlie Yozwiak The Wilkes College football team suffered their third loss of the season to Susquehanna University, 59-0, before a Homecoming day crowd on Saturday, at Ralston Field. The Colonels were hurt badly by turnovers and blocked punts. The Colonels lost five fumbles and had two punts blocked, which gave .Susquehanna easy scoring opportunities. Susquehanna scored 31 points in the · first half with only four first downs. Crusader kicker Todd McCartliy opened up the scoring when he booted a 32-yard field goal with 5:37 ·remaining in the first quarter. Then, late in the first quarter, Crusader Tom Lagerman returned a Bill Buoni punt 46 yards, for a score. The Colonels then made another costly error. After gaining very poor field position inside of their own tenyard line, the Colonels fumbled and lost the ball on their four-yard line. · Susquehanna capitalized on the Colonel's mistake, and ran it in for · another score to put them on top , 170.

With the ball on the Susquehanna two-yard line, the Wilkes offensive unit fumbled again and the Crusaders gained possession. The Colonels came out charging again in the second half, with tenacious defense, led by co-captain Rich Murray and defensive end Bernie Kusakavitch. Freshman quarterback Brad Scarborough engineered another substantial drive for the Colonels, only to have it stopped cold by an unyielding Susquehanna defence. It was all Susquehanna after that, with the Crusaders rolling up 28 more points before the final gun sounded, despite the efforts of a stout Colonel defensive unit . Wilkes tried to get on the board later on in the game, but, like the charge of the French Imperial Guard at La Belle Alliance, failed to reach their objective. Although they failed to please the Homecoming crowd with a victory, the Colonels did have their moments. Ed Mann and Brad Scarborough turned in fine offensive performances. George Solomon and Rich Hochreiter put pressure on Susquehanna's offe1,1se all day and tallied a number of quarterback sacks. The Colonels, 0-3 in the season, will be looking to avenge their Homecoming loss when they go on the road Saturday to clash with Moravian College in Bethlehem. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 1973 for Chimera, a volume of novellas, Barth has published works appearing in both hardcover and paperback, and has made the bestseller lists both in the United States and abroad. In recognition of his outstanding literary contributions, he was selected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974. Barth's five novels published to date have had a major impact on the nation's literary community. His first novel, The Floating Opera, written when he was 26, was nominated for a National Book Award in 1957; in the same year, Barth completed his explosive End ofthe Road (1958) . The historical farce The SotWeed Factor followed in 1960 and gave Barth a popular audience. Critics lauded the book as "outra- Wilkes President Announces Plans To Resign In 198 geously funny, villianously slanderous." Barth next published a long comic work, Giles Goat Boy (1966), whose hero is sired by a computer and born of a virgin. The book established Barth as a master of the comic novel. His latest work, Sabbatical, is subtitled A Romance and is selling well throughout the nation. Barth also has published a collection of short fictions for print, tape and live voice entitled Lost in the Funhouse (1968), and Letters (1979), an episptolary novel that transforms the 18th century form into a contemporary comic tour de force with seven intertwining plot lines. In all, Barth's fiction is so varied and original as to merit critics' labels of allegory, irrealism , postmodernism, realism, and fa rce. But while critics continue to debate about Barth's literary categorization, the public apparently continues to relish each of his new literary creations. In addition to his vocation as writer, Barth is currently the Alumni Centennial Professor of English and Creative Writing at the Johns Hopkins University. Born in Cambridge, Maryland, in 1930, andeducated in Dorchester County's Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 \ J / public schools, he obtained his A.B . and M.A. degrees from the Johns Hopkins University. From l 963 to 1965 he taught English at Pennsylvania State University and then became a professor of English at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Barth returned to Johns Hopkins in 1973, and currently teaches English and creative writing. Barth's appearance on February l on the Wilkes campus will be one of the highlights of the Wilkes' 50th Robert S. Capin, now serving his eighth year as president of Wilkes College, announced at the end of last semester that he will resign his top administrative post at the College effective May 31, 1984. Capin announced his resignation to members of the Wilkes Board of Trustees at their regularly scheduled meeting in December and then made it public to members of the College 's faculty and administration. In making the announcement, Capin said , "After much consideration and introspection I am advising members of the College Family and the community of my resignation from the presidency of Wilkes Col- • lege effective at the conclusion of the 1983-84 Academic Year.•' "I an1 pro~d of what has been accomplished during my tenure as president and feel that is is now time to make way for a new leader 'lfho has the dynamism, . imagination, determination and resiliancy to lead the College through the challenging years ahead."

Capin's financial and educational leadership, coming at a time when many private colleges atound the country are being forced to close their doors, has helped guide Wilkes to excellent evaluations from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The 56-year-old Capin has also spearheaded two highly successful capital fund drives which have sustained the growing .needs of the college and the community. In addition, the Pennsylvania civic and ·educational leader has captained several successful annual scholarship campaigns and launched numerous physical plant improvements at the 50:year-old institution. Capin has led the College effort to maintain historic preservation on campus by restoring and renovating several landmark buildings and, over the past two years, has directed a major effort enabling the College to complete a $3.5 million residence hall project. He also created and directed efforts which led to the establishment of an in~depth and working Long-Range Plan for Wilkes College. In accepting the resignation of Capin, William L. Conyngham, chairman of the College's 35-member governing board said, "It is with a true sense of loss that we accept this resignation.

System by Buddy Sutliff The inequality of parking spaces for commuter· and resident students was a major topic of discussion at the weekly IRHC m~eting. Bill Lourie complained that dorm students have far fewer parking spots than students who commute. He explained that things had been relatively even before the lot behind Denison Hall was closed, but now only approximately 35 spots remain for residents compared to at least 70 available to commuters. Lourie stated that it would only be fair to alot more spaces for residents. It was also mentioned that students may be charged for parking permits. This had been discussed last year, but a decision was postponed.

One concern of Freedman' s is that the TV studio set up on the third floor of Stark Learning Center will be dism antled and that the program itself will disintegrate. When questioned about the dismantling of the TV studio, Capin stated that it was being considered whether the room itself should remain in the hands of the Communications Department, or be given to the Engineering Department , but if the room was reassigned, a new location would be found for the video equipment .

The new year has become a notorious time for the unstopping of flasks and bottles of all varieties, and among the favorite of these is that of remembrance, nostalgia, a flagon containing the dreams and despairs of a year gone by. . 1982 was a year of paradoxes for Wilkes College, a year often marked by student apathy fringing an active student body, faculty unrest and curriculum updates, financial difficulties concurrent with building expansion, the celebration of an anniversary and the loss of a president. The year brought fire to ilocum and Sullivan Halls, and a new Founder•~ Hall to life; the "Wild Turkeys" and "Singapore Slings'' teams tied for first place during Winter Weekend, and the Lady Colonels softball team finished as MAC champs. Students' financial aid suffered drastic cuts, RA' s scholarships wer-e frozen, and student scholarships were re~appropriated in the spring semester; in the fall, the ·college began its gala 50th Anniversary Celebration. One remembers that 1982 marked a banner year for the Wilkes College theatre, which presented 110 in the Shade, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Story Theatre, and The Elephant Man. The CPA was also graced with the talents of Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Lewis, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, speaker Rowland Meyers, and the Right Honourable Norman St. John-Stevas. Sordoni Art Gallery sponsored continuous art exhibitions; Conyngham Annex, home for student exhibits, faced possible demolition. The presidencies of SG, IRHC, and CC once again changed hands, and the student publications welcomed new editorial staffs; Bill Unsworth was selected as football coach. Thre«: wrestlers qualified for the NCAA tournament at Iowa State, but the.Lady Cagers finished a losing season. 1982 also saw the passing of another New Student Orientation Weekend, a ban on hazing, and a vigorous campaign to save Stark Lobby. Greg Marshall and Terry Shemo presided over Homecoming Weekend, and Wilkes College held a 50th Anniversary Cinderella Ball. River Street acquired its nom a l'annee, Wilkes College Boulevard. Beth Latini won a national raquetball title; the Wilkes football team beat FDU Madison to finally break a two-year losing streak. Robert S. Capin announced his proposed resignation as president of Wilkes College. The memories flood back, ebb, and then recede into the murky haze from which they were summoned. 1983 will, no doubt, bring as many triumphs and trials, controversies and contradictions as did 1982, all to be remarked upon-by some future editor, sitting bleary-eyed at a typewriter in the wee morning hours. Actually, I could wish no one a more pleasent early-morning task, for the remembrances, like the heavy, rich perfurme, spice and sweeten all they touc}:i. Here's to 1983. M: by Kim W. Skrinak Time Magazine's Man of the, Year for 1982 was not a man but a machine: the computer. Time's choice for this position for the past 55 years has been either an individual or a group of people. The choice of a computer, rather than a person reinforced the magazine's belief that the most significant force in the year's news is ••not a single individual but a process, and a widespread recognition that this process is changing the course of all other processes.'' The stand the magazine took that puts the process over the person is worthy of much thought. I am bothered by this idea, for I do admire the computer; but due respect should be given to the engineers and business people who participated in the technological revolution. Time seemed to completely disregard the people behind the computer. It stated: " The greatest influence for good or evil, is not a man at all. It is a machine: the computer. '' To those of us who were born in the " technological middle ages'-' of the 1940s and early 1950s the introduction of the computer into our lives was greeted with protest and intrigue. We held some fear that it would threaten <our individuality when, for means of identification, we were asked to give our school" identification number or social secu- rity number rather than our naine . In , what seemed as almost overnight, our slide-rules gave way to the pocket calculator. With the same swiftness the clanging of pinball machines that dominated our arcades was quickly replaced by synthesized electronic sounds that spewed from the sophisticated electronic games. Regardless of our feelings for these changes, we realize that the sudden intrusion of the computer into our life is terminal. It is with us for the rest of our lives, like it or not. · Just about all of us now are struggling to cope with these changes. Some of us are dealing with bloodshot eyes or other new frustrations that come from staring, hours at end, at the viewing screen of our office or home computer. While we are slowly getting used to this new intrusion of our lives the children of today arc adjusting beautifully to our "brave new world" . Kevin Phillips , a syndicated columnist who appears in many daily newspapers across the counrry , has written a column that centers itself around the fate of his six-yearold son who is growing up ' 1 thinking computerese." He finds it •'more than a little unnerving'' to watch his son '' take over the controls in a video game of MissileCommand and sweep his target sight aronnd the sky, wiping out enemymis, des like a veteran ." He feels that the ,hrill behind playing video wars may keep their exciuncnt with his son when he grows up. Kevin Phillips paints a shoulder-shuddering, imagined future where his son as a hypothetical Major Alexander Phillips, U.S. Air Force Academy, Class of 1998 would become appointed to '• command something that bears all too much resemblance to one of the games he's enjoying so much this Christmas. '' One can see why such a thought would be uncomfortable to this father and have him find himself nostalgic for the pre-video game Chrisunasses. His futuristic vision becomes less laughable when he informs us with some sobering facts : public esteem for the military has been rising in the Atari Age and the press has been reporting how the Army and the Air Force arc already adopting and adapting the video games for training purposes. Presently, the beliefs that led Time to choose a computer, rather than a person , are questionable because the people behind the computer are mostly newcomers to its effects . They did exist before its intrusion. Therefore, they have not been totally mentally modified by it. However, the children who now are educated, as well as entertained, by the computer just may become not a single individual in control of themselves, but part of its process.

Over 18,000 in New York City alone, they are homeless , and now that winter has set in they will also seek a place to sleep at one of the city's shelters. Across the nation, young working people and couples just starting a family are not able to begin a savings after paying for the necessitie~ of life; an older generation is discovering that they cannot provide the ' 'best' ' education for their sons and daughters, even after a decade of struggle and humble living. Nearly 200,000 homes in various tgwns in the industrial north are now m foreclosure, the families sleeping in cars or, if lucky, doubling up in friends' or relatives' homes. The government and banks are auctioning family farms away to the highest bidders. Over 10% of our potential work force is idle. This is not a reminiscence of the Great Depression. It is a quick glimpse at America today, and these are not isolated cases. The American economy is contracting at _ an appalling rate , with devastating effects upon th~ working poor and middle-class, and our current political leadership in Washington is failing to deal effectively •with a crisis that threatens the cohesiveness of our entire society. It seems strange that in the midst of this mess , the president of the United States can address the nation twice in six days and tell us in a warm, genial, and reassuring manner that everything is not as bad as it seems, and is in fact getting better and not worse. AsJohn the local bartender often says," ____ spare me! " President Reagan cites two achievements, lower interest rates and a lower rate of inflation, as evidence that the recovery is "just around the corner.' ' However, " real" interest rates, such as those for housing and long-term loans for business development and expansion are still prohibitively high, and are preventing any growth . It is true that inflation has fallen , but that is never difficult to achieve when one is willing to allow 11. 5 million unemployed. The central problem is that the policies of the Reagan team are shorrsighted and anachronistic when viewed in the context of an American economy that .today is in TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE WILKES COLLEGE FA MILY AND FRIENDS : BROADWAY THEATRE WEEKEND - MARCH 18-20, 1983 .

All views express ed are those o the individual writer and not nee e s s arily of the publication or of Wilkes College. f er the midst of a significant and complex transition which is alread y blighting some of the nation's most productive and fertile regions . This change is not a 'natural' and inevitable consequence of some nebulous market forces, as Reaganomics would have it, but is instead the result of the conscious and deliberate actions of members of our business, financial and political communities (or community, as is often the case). Without concern for the human consequences, corporations and investors are stripping whole sectors of our industrial heartland and are shifting capital to new ventures in other regions of the country (steel buying into oil, for example) or to foreign lands (United Technologies Corp. swallowing Otis Elevator in Yonkers and spitting it out again all over Southern Asia) where wage labor, tax laws, operational costs and additional elements contribute to irresistably high profit margins. In other cases large corporations or smaller businesses w.ill not expand in many communities for fear that their investment will not pay off. And being beaten at our own game by foreign competitors in major industries, such as auto and steel , has greatly contributed to the problem ( chis too is the result of conscious and deliberate actions; in this case , the decision not to upgrade those industries). Evidence of this deadly combination of capital flight and capital fright , along with the consequences of foreign competition, is everywhere. In 1982, the U.S . economy contracted by 1.8%. the worst slump in 36 years, and inflation jumped 6 % . But these statistics are virtually meaningless unless we look at places like Warren, Ohio or Lackawanna, New York. Until recently, steel production provided asolid, vibrant way of life for generations. Then mills and ironworks were closed and unemployment has now reached nearly 30% in surrounding counties. These events in turn have severe repercussions on the entire community as revenues for schools and local governments are sharply reduced and the level of despair and frustration rises . Many analysts, however, view this situation as regrettable but not critical. According to the most optimistic approach , as the old industries die off, new economic sectors will be born to replace them , and all we need to do is retrain all the unfortunate unemployed and fit them into the new scheme. But that process will take a long time, and nobody is even pretending that these new industries, like technology and " service," will ever provide the number of jobs needed to achieve sustained and full employment. So it seems that the larger question posed by this latest 'downturn' in our economic cycle is, what can we begin io do to protect people, communities, our society's health, and our economic system itself form the vicissitudes of capitalism? That question has probably not been whispered in the White House since FDR let a few Reds in the back door in •one of his politically deft maneuvers. At any rate, it clearly has not recently been posed to Ronald Reagan. John Finn is a junior Political Science major at Wilkes College, and will be replacing Jim Watkinson as the weelcly Be«on "Proper Perspective " commentator. Conserva tive Co mment by Stephen K. Urbanski andJamesJ. Haggerty,JL Undoubtedly the year 1983 has many surprises in store for all of us . As for the nature of these events, one can only guess , and many do . So, following in the footsteps of Jeanne Dixon and Nostradamous, here is our summary of the events that we see happening during the upcoming year.

' by Donna Nitka Man yfemale graduate and under• graduate studeqts may not enjoy full equaliry of educational opportunity on campus, according to a report re• cently issued by the Project on the Status and Education of Women of the Association of American Col• leges. The report, The Classroom Climate: A Chilly One For Women? was written to help both faculty and students become more aware of the subtle - and not so subtle - ways in which male and female students are often treated differently , and to indicate specific actions they can take to create a learning c,imate that best fosters the intellectual growth of all students. According to Dr. Ben'l'ice R. Sandler, director of the.Project who supervised the development of the report , "men and women may sit together in the same classrooms but have very different educational ex• periences because faculty - both men and women - often treat male and female students differently. It doesn' t happen all the time, or in every classroom, but when it does, women 's self confidence and arnbi• . tions may plummet. '' · Frequently, neither the faculty nor the students are aware that any different treatment has occurred. Nevertheless , the report finds that women students are discouraged in the following ways: - Faculty may not be as likely to call directly on women as on men during class discussion . - Teachers may often ask ques• tions followed by eye contact with men students only, as if only men were expected to respond. - Faculty may interrupt women more frequently than men , or allow them to be disproportionately inter• rupted by others in class . - Teachers often address their classes as if no women were present (Suppose your wife . .. ?) or use classroom examples in which the professional is always "he," the client or patient always "she." - Some teachers still use sexist humor to "spice up a dull subject" or make disparaging comments about women as a group . · - Faculty may not give women informal feedback on their work . - Teachers may overlook women when it comes to choosing research or teaching assistants or give them less responsibility than men in those positions. They may not be as likely to nominate women for awards and prizes, let them know about job op• portunities, or offer to write leqers of recommendation for them . The report, which was funded by a l 5•month grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education and aided by an advisory committee of experts in student and faculty development, combines the results of recent institutional sur• veys , empirical studies of postsecon• dary and other classrooms, and general research in men's and woinen's communication. It identi• fies overt and inadvertent faculty behaviors that can lead female Stu• dents to feel they " don' t belong" and are "not taken seriously" in the college classroom. It concludes that such behaviors can play a major role . in limiting women sutdents' devel• opment. In fact, the report's find• ings show that some women have dropped courses or changed majors because of such behaviors, while others have hesitated to participate in class and to seek informal help or letters of recommendation from professors whose classroom behavior communicated negative views of women. "Looking beyond the im• mediate classroom setting, '' Sandler added, " women's career .+ choices are often narrowed and men 's and women's ability to work together as equals - both in school and in the workplace - may be un• dermined by an inhospitable college learning climate .' ' "Most faculty want to treat all students fairly and as individuals with · particular talents and abiJi. ties," says Roberta M. Hall, author of the report and Assistant Director for Special Programs at the Project on the Status and Education ofWo• men. '' However, many professorsmen and women alike - may never• theless inadvertently treat men and women differently in the classroom and in related learning situations.'' Hall emphasized that teacher• student interaction in grade school and high school, as well as different patterns typical of men's and women's communication in every• day situations, may make these sub• de differences in treatment in the college classroom (such as not ex• pecting women to participate in class and thus not calling on them) seem 'so ''normal '' that neither tea• chers nor students notice them when they occur. " Taken cumulatively, though, faculty behaviors which either overlook or single out women students because of their sex may leave many women feeling they are not on par with men. Women may become less confident than their male classmates about their aca• demic ability, their place in the col• lege community, and their potential for career success,'' Hall said. The report included a number of recommendations for faculty and students to foster awareness, guide on•campus evaluation and promote change. Recommendations for faculty included: - making a specific effort to call directly on women as well as on men students.

The exhibit is comprised of 64 prints, engravings and lithographs, of various Pennsylvania cities and t0wns ,from the mid- l&th century un~I the late 19th century. The works offer an interesting visual history of the development of towns throughout the state. The prints on exhibit are part of the collection of John C. O 'Connor and Ralph Yeager. Judith O 'Toole, directorof the gallery , noted that although O'Connor and ¥eager have an extensive collection that includes prints from all over the Unit~d States, only those from Pennsylvania were chosen for the exhibit. Among the works on exhibit are a print depicting Bethlehem in 175 7, · and one that captures the Johnstown . flood of the late 1880'.~- Perhaps one of the most interesting prints is the one entitled "State 1: Bird 's Eye View of Philadelphia 1850. '' This print is an attempt to simulate the view of the town from the air. Prints of Bucknell, Penn State and Lafayette College are also on exhibit . The exhibit is open through February 6. Gallery hours are Sundays through Fridays, 1-5 p .m .,Saturday, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m . and fro_m 6-9 p.m. on Thursday evenings. Psych Honor Society Seeking Members by Donna Nitka Psychology majors who meet specific academic qualifications are eligible for membership in Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for psychology students. The purpose of Psi Chi is to generate student interest in the field of psychology and in psychological research. In keeping with this, the Wilkes chapter of Psi Chi (which should not be confused with the psych club) did a statistical study of Wilkes graduates to obtain student assessment of the psychology department and information on employment and graduate school opportunities. The members of Psi Chi are also making plans to attend both the Eastern College Science .Conference_and the Eastern Psychological Association convention this spring. There are several advantages associated with membership in Psi Chi. Among these arc research opportunities, recommendations provided by the national organization, opportunities to enter research papers in the national organization 's undergraduate and graduate research competitions, and opportunities to meet leading psychologists and to learn more about the professional choices available topsychologists. Membership requirements for Psi Chi include a 3.5 psych cum, a 3.0 overall cum, and a minimum number of credits in psychology. Membership is open to both psych majors and minors . Students interested in learning more about Psi Chi, or in obtaining an application, should contact Dr. Robert Bohlander. f H-.€. LONG'S RE:\IIEW by Henry E. Long I.am not as inspired to write this article as perhaps Yves Klein was to create art. There are no flamethrowers here, no audience or orchestra, and no beautiful nude women smeared in deep blue paint . There are only my reflections on the direct results of Klein's inspirations; the work which is currently on exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum, New York. Although sudden death ended his high-profiled life at the .age of thirty-four, Klein's aesthetic premonition ushered various avant-garde movements thrqughout Europe, and later America in the early sixties and seventies. A forerunner of Minimalism , Klein was also one of the artistic pioneers of Environmental Art, Performance Art, Conceptual Art, and Body Art. The pieces in the show, consisting of 100 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, represent many phases of Klein's development, but they also represent only a small part of the total Art experience; an experience , with Klein, of artistic challenge, artistic humor, and artistic outrageousness. His unconventional dada techniques of creating art include the use of Fireman-assisted flame. throwers, which he manipulated in such a way to actually burn images and brown hues onto a canvas; imploying nude females as living brushes to leave body-thumbprints in blue on canvas and on paper; and covering nearly every object with the same Buzzing, electric Klein-Blue . His sculptural pieces can also be seen as paintings . Like crrie electron photographs of the surface structures covering the human tongue, Klein's Sculptured-Paintings consist of blue sponges, blue pebbles , blue gravel and dry blue pigment in synthetic resin on plaster and canvas. The viewer is forced to participate in the artist's universe of infinite space, which is absolute and general, and in the artist's impish transcendence . One of the more popular pieces in the show is a large photograph documenting the artist leaping off a 10-foot wall. "~ap Into the Void" displays Klein as both the sham and the shaman; the dada artist and the showman. The photograph is ~thcrsomc in that the viewer realizes that immediately following the snap of the shutter, Klein smashed face-down onto the sidewalk below . Klein called this act a mystical attempt, touchi!)g on the fringes of Zen and Rosicru- . .• !····~····························································•··········~···········: ..

This act can stand for all of Klein's accomplishments; whether favorable or not. Any serious contemplation of his art involves asumptions about what. important art today requires of its creator, andI • of its audience. If nothing else , the show conveys one thing about the Frenchman Klein as an artist, as a social commentator, and as a historic anticipator: He Leapt into a void where very few have even stepped . AT THE SORDONI And then there is the show currently running at the Wilkes College Sordoni Art Gallery. I am not . inspired whatsoever to write this article . The show consists of sixty-three prints recording the early history of this great state of ours , and as for artistic criticism, I find it very difficult to comment on. The best I can do is this : ''Pennsylvania Prints: A Tercentenary Celebration from the Collection ofJohn C. O 'Connor and Ralph M. Yeager." Perhaps one is more accustomed to reading the above Roy E. Morganish so-called criticism, that is, not a criticism as much as a mere statement of existence. But that is what this show is all about : a statement of Pennsylvania's existence portrayed through lithographs . So it may be locally popular, which obviously was the prime motivation behind organizing the show, (which, incidcntly, was funded by a grant given in honor of Times-Leader Art Critic Roy E. Morgan), but docs such work belong in an ART GALLERY? Wilkes-Barre has a wonderful Historical Society dedicated and formulated for the preservation of such HISTORY, and I seriously doubt that they would have a show of contemporary German Expressionists. (Then again, I seriously doubt if the Sordoni would have such an exhibit as well.) Those interested ifl Pennsylvania's history may find the show interesting. Those interested in early lithography may even find it as such . But those who arc interested in observing Art in a College Art Gall~ry arc advised to look elsewhere . · ~ !>lG,Mf ~ r«E.\ ~ "'l"f.

Wuori Clles 11~ Increaa.e Between September 1981 and 'January 1982, the Wilkes College Admissions Office received 688 applications for the 1982 freshman class. Dr. Gerald Wuori , dean of admissions at the College, reports that for the similar four-month period, September 1982 to January 7, 1983 , the College has received 765 applications - an increase of more than 11 percent. Inquiries at the College have increased by 32 percent , from 5,161 to more than 6,800. ' 'We are finding that students, and their parents, are not as confused :.bout the availability of financial aid and ot~er loan programs," said Wuori , now in his fifth year as admissions dean . ''Last year we were unable to give students exact facts and figures regarding the fluctuating packages available in the area of financial aid . The whole aid program, nation-wide, was in a confused state and that served to scare many students away.'' "Now that the air has cleared somewhat and more money than originally anticipated is being made available to college-bound students, we can help qualified students obtain the necessary loans and/or financial aid which makes attending college possible ." As an example, Governor Dick Thornburgh recently authorized the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) to raise up to $300 million by floating bond issues, using the proceeds to finance student loans. While the relative brightening of the financial aid/loan picture has helped fuel the increase in the number of applications received this year at Wilkes, Wuori pointed out that other factors have also helped spawn the rise . "We have increased our recruiting efforts this year by expanding the areas/ regions that we visit, " he said. ''While we continue to recruit heavily from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, we are making inroads into from around the country who art: interested in specific areas of study. As a r esult of the targeted searches , Wilkes has realized application increases in the areas of art, engineering, music and computer science. ' 'While it is important for us to visit students and answer their questions about Wilkes, it is equally important that prospective students visit our campus and talk with current students, faculty, and staff people," stated Wuori . "Over the past several years 81 percent of our applicants who visited the Wilkes-Barre campus matriculated as students in the fall." This year, Wuori reports that high school students visiting the Wilkes campus are running in excess of 10 percent over last year's , figure . When questioned as to whether he thought the upward trend would continue, Wuori responded that it is "difficult to say ." He stated that Wilkes' academic program and some of the new programs had attracted applicants, but he was unsure which programs, if any, would be dropped in the future. "At the very least, I feel enrollment will stablize ," said Wuori . He also noted that, in the future , much will depend on financial aid availabilit•! and the political climate of the state and national government . Washington, Delaware and Maryland, as well as other neighboring states.'' Additional factors which aid the increased admissions effort in~lude a successful Alumni Recruitment Program where alumni from across the country visit and talk with prospective applicants/ sutdents; a new method of target marketing which enables Wilkes admissions representatives to visit schools having the highest degree of productivity; and the redesigned staff scheduling · which allows admissions representatives to spend an additional day each week on the road visiting high school students . Wuori has also been able to make exr-·nsive use ofThe College Board 's Student Search Service which allows the College to pinpoint .students -, anuzzi's Ptiza and Each semester more than 250 stu- • dents from colleges and universities across the country come to Washington , D .C. to work as interns under the auspices of the Washington Center. ·They gain experience and academic credit for working full time in congressional, executive or judicial offices; public interest organizations; national associations; or private businesses. The Internship Program, open to juniors and seniors in all academic majors, includes: placement, orientation, counseling, supervision, and evaluation of intern progress; academic seminars and group discussions with other interns; guest lectures; social and cultural events with other interns; and centrally-located housing. The Washington Center is not a credit-granting institution. It does, however, function as an adjunct to the university/college campus. Students participating in the internship program receive academic credit from their home institutions that is equivalent to the credits received for an average term on campus. Documentation and evaluation of student performance in the internship are provided by the Washington Center and the agency sponsor. Internship placement sites have included such diverse settings as the U.S. Congress, the D.C. Superior Court, the U.S. State Department, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the U.S. Department of Commerce, NBC News, the AFL/ CIO, the Smithsonian, the National Institutes of Health , Common Cause, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Ceoter requires all studen:s to enroll in one of their semin:o.rs, which are taught by qualified Washington professionals (attorneys, Congressional staff, policy analysts, etc.) and cover a distinct area of an academic discipline. Seminar offerings include: ' 'Trial by Jury," "Art Comes to the Nation's Captial, " "U.S. Foreign Policy in the Third World, " "PetroDollars," and "An Inside Look at the Washington Press Corps.'

The concern of the representatives was that if the school terminates the position ,he student's social life would suffer. One representative expressed some of the dubious affects this action may have if taken. She said that it is likely that the wide screen 1V would become less accessable to students. She said that there is a possibility of students losing the use of the Cavern, which currently provides students with a place to relax and play video-games. ~ One representative commented that since Jay Tucker, the cutrent student director, has been here the sub parties have been more organized. Another representative said that she thought that a school with a well developed activities schedule would be more desireable to incoming students than a school that offers little or poorly organized social events. One solution offered was to raise the school's activity fee by $50. The representative pointed out that it is not uncommon for colleges to charge $50 a semester for an activity fee. Wilkes currently charges $50 a year as an activity fee. The position of Student Director will be absorbed by Student Affairs. Representatives at the meeting generally agreed that the position of Student Director should be continued. Today CC will spon~r a coffeehouse in the Student Center from 11 to 1. Entertainment will be provided by Marty Bear. Admission is free. This week CC President Mary Ellen Judge announced the reestablishment of the Apartment Committee. The committee will be headed by Brian Potoeski . More information may be obtained at the CC office.

Bill Lourie, Winter Weekend chairperson, reported that the · Winter Weekend Committee is thinking about using the Student Center pool of DJs and stereo equipment for the annual Winter Weekend gym party instead of hiring a band .

Unfortunately, only two of his starters have the luxury of prior colliegate seasons. The Colonels are putting a senior, a junior and three freshmen on the court and their inexperience is showing. Wilkes is on a four game slide losing seven of their last eight contests. Since Christmas break Wilkes has dropped consecutive games to Moravian, Albright, Scranton and Elizabethtown. Against Moravian and Albright the Colonels stayed with their opponents until the final minutes, but came up short. In both contests, Wilkes was unable to drop baskets at critical times. " We took these teams down to the wire , but I think we' re just getting impatient, " Atherton said. ''What we have to do is start taking good shots.'' On Saturday, the Unversity of Scranton Royals, ranked 12th in the nation among Division III teams, brought their perfect 4-0 MAC record to Wilkes . It was obvious from the start that the young Colonels would prove to be no match for the seasoned Royals. Scranton held a 20 point lead throughout most of the game. When the final buzzer sounded the Colonels found themselves on the losing end of a 76-61 effort . Elizabethtown pushed the Colonels deeper into their mid-season slump on Monday when they defeated Wilkes 67-49. At half time the contest was knotted at 27 apiece. Early in the second period the score was tied at 29, but this would be the last time the Colonels would share the lead . The Blue Jays used a stingy defe nse to hold all Wilkes players in the single digit column. The loss dropped the Colonels record to 2-6 in the MAC and 3- 8 overall. Atherton said, "We get an error and it just spreads like cancer. '' He continued, "I will have faith that we're going to do something as the year goes along. It just seems like everyone is trying a little too hard.'' The Colonels will attempt to turn things around on Saturday at Delaware Valley. •allcer Returns To Wilkes by Chris Baron Former Colonel basketball great Kevin "].]." Walker is back at Wilkes after a short stint as a pro. For the past few months Walker has been playing in the English Basketball League. Walker played for the Llverpool Wakewoods and was averaging 18 points per game. When he left, the Wakewoods were in seventh place among 13 teams . He has returned to Wilkes to finish his undergraduate education. Kevin "JJ." Walker ''The reason I came back was so I could graduate," Walker said. ''The season is not really over till the end of February, but if I stayed I wouldn't be able to come back in the middle of the semester.' ' Walker needs 18 credits to get his marketing degree . He got his chance at the pros last June when he went to a tryout at St. Peter's College. Each year the camp attracts hundreds of college players hoping for a shot at the pros. Walker explained, "There were scouts all over the place, pro scouts from the States, and scouts from Europe.'' He must have impressed someone because a few days later he got a call from the owner of the Wakewoods. In a matter of days he was on an airplane to England. The English style of play is quite different from what he was accustomed to. ''The competition is a lot better than Division III Wilkes," Walker said. ''There is also a lot of running. After you score you don't have to touch the ball out, you just run right back down the court.'' In the English league each team is allowed two American players. The American players are expected to perform better than their English teammates. '' At Wilkes there was pressure just to win a game, whereas over there a lot of pressure is put on the American players because we are supposed to be the best in the world at basketball,'' Walker said. If a team loses, the Americans inevitably take the brunt of the criticism. ' 'For instance, one game I only scored 12 points and we lost. The papers wrote up about how bad I played and the Coach got on me and started sayjng he was going to send me, back, " Walker said. , 1, , Wilkes College Hoc key S chedule Colonels On Ice 1:he Wilkes College Club Hockey team has a 4-5 record half way through • theu 18-game schedule.

The Colonels have a veteran team and at the beginning of this season they looked like~Jike the best squad Coach John Reese ever_put on the mats. "I think because we have so many seniors on the team, sometimes we don't get up for the teams we should beat,'' Reese said. After their first Wilkes Open win, the Colonels went on the road to Tennessee. The Volunteers, ranked 20th in the nation, handed Wilkes their fourth loss of the season. Wilkes then traveled to the Virginia Duals where they were seeded second in the tournament. The Colonels posted wins over George Mason and Clemson, but were forced to settle for fourth place when they lost to North Carolina and Morgan State. The weaty Colonels returned to Wilkes with a dismal 4-6 dual record. The Colonels got a breather last Wednesday when they downed the 0-6 Bucknell University Bisons, 3014. On Saturday, Wilkes posted a hard fought 21-20 win over the Temple Owls. The key match was in the 177 pound weight class. Wilkes Junior Mark Carrell pinned na.tionall ranked Rich Lavato with- only 12 seconds remaining in the match . The win evened the Colonels record at 6-6. The Colonels continued their winning ways on Sunday when .they downed Virginia Tech 29-10. Trailing 10-3 after four matches, Wilkes came roaring back. Mark Popple registered a major decision over Dominiclc Parcelli. Freshman Tom Jamiclcy put the Colonels on top for good when he pinned Tech's Rob Farr after being behind 5-0.

For this reason and more I predict a third Super Bowl championship trophy for the Miami Dolphins. In recent years certain rule changes favoring the offense and the emergence of old AFL style passing attacks have changed the complexion of professional football. The era of complex offenses and high scoring games is upon us , and we have such famous passing combinations as Fouts to Winslow, Montana to Clark , and An·d erson to Collinsworth . And what has happened to the traditional brand of football , the football of the old Packer and Giant teams? You know, grind it out ground games and bone crunching defense. Well , this brand of " old time" football has carried both the Re,dskins and the Dolphins to Pasadena and Super Bowl XVII . The similarities between the Dolphins and the Redskins are more than mere coincidences; they are uncanny. The two teams are virtual carbon copies of each other. For instance, both teams are ranked near the top of the NFL in both total defense and rushing offense . The Dolphins were number one in the former category . However, the comparisons do not end here . There are many more similarities be~ een both the teams particularly between specific key . personnel. Both rely upon a big and strong full back to grind out most of their rushing yardage ; the Dolphins employ Andra Franklin, and the Redskins use John Riggins . A comparison of the quarterbacks is also interesting. One can ca11 Miami's David Woodley a young (younger ?) Joe Theismann . Both are capable of outstanding passing performances, and both are mobile scramblers·. Even if they are having an off day passing, both still do <1nough to win (Woodley only completed 9 of 21 passes in the Dolphins' 14-0 victory over the New York Jets). Woodley is a better scrambler and runner, but Theismann has the experience edge. All in all, they rate pretty evenly. As a side note , it is ironic that David Woodley and his backup, Don Strock, are in-a situation similar to that of Theismann and Billy Kilmer a few years back. Now to the game . It will be a low scoring defensive struggle. Twentyone or even fourteen points could win it. The keys will be defe nse, turnovers, and breaks . The team which avoids the second and gets a few of the third will win. That team will be Miami because of its defense and its coach, Don Shula. The "Killer B's" are big, strong , and fas t . They obviously are superb against the pass, for they shutdown both the Chargers and the Jets. However, they can also stop the run as evidenu:d by their performance against the number one rushing team in the NFL, the •New England Patriots. They should also receive credit for stopping the NFL' s leading rusher, Freeman McNeil , even though the game was played on a muddy field . The Dolphins' defense should more than adequately handle the· Redskins passing game, and they will pressure Joe Theismann all day. (Let's face it , few people rate the Redskin offensive line as highly as that of the Jets or the Chargers; and we all know what the Dolphins did to Richard Todd). . The key for the Dolph in defense will be stopping John Riggins who has had a field day so far in the playoffs . Rain or shine he is capable of providing an outstanding peformance. Tfie Dolphins should be able to stop him ; but if not, the Redskins . could very well win. Joe Gibbs has done a tremendous job with the Redskins , but nobody docs it better than Don Shula who has also done wonders with the Dolphins. He has been there before , and he knows how to win. It is a guaranteed certainty that his team will be excellently prepared fo r Sunday's game, and he will have a trick or two up his sleeve. The edge here definitely goes to the Dolphins. The oddsmakers have picked the Dolphins as three point favorities , and I can confidently say that this is a safe bet . Tune in on Sunday and watch the Dolphins swim circles around and capsize the Redskins ' war canoes . �Vol. XXXV No.13 January 28, 1983 Lady Colonels Shoot To 7-3 by Ellen Van Riper The Lady Colonel basketball team has gotten off to one of its best starts ever. Since dropping two early games at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Tournament, the ladies have compiled a 7-1 record, including a seven-game winning streak. The overall record is now 7-3. Nancy Roberts' team had a busy semester break . The ladies shortened their vacation an~ captured first place honors as the host team of the ,annual Letterwomen's Tournament held January 7 and 8. They defeated Drew University of Madison, NJ, 87-67, and Moravian College from Bethlehem, 87-65, enroute to the title. In the contest against Drew the big offensive guns for the Lady Colonels were guards Donna Martin and Charlene Hurst. Martin, a freshman from Nanticoke Area, tossed in 32 points to lead the way. Hurst, a sophomore from Bishop Hoban, added 24. The Lady Colonels displayed a diversified offensive attack in the .title game against Moravian with four players hitting for dou hie figures . Once again it was Martin who spearheaded the attack. She followed-up her previous evening's performance with 24 points. Right behind her in the scoring column was Hurst who netted 22 . Also hitting for double digits were junior co-captain Kim Smith from • Wyoming Valley West with 18 and freshman Michelle Zowoiski from Mt. Pocono with 15 . Off the glass it was Smith with 12 rebounds and freshman Michalene Chernicavage, a teammate of Martin'-s at Nanticoke, with 9 caroms. Selected as the tournament Most Valuable Offensive Player was Lady Colonel Charlene Hurst.

His Colonels captured their first Wilkes Open title in the 50-year history of the holiday classic. "It felt great to win it, especially this year, the 50th Anniversary,'' Reese said. Sports Illustrated magazine has called the tournament, the "Rose Bowl" of collegiate wrestling. Wilkes has had eight individual title holders through the years. The Colonels finished second six times, but had never captured the crown. The Colonels went into the finals of the two-day tourney with a slim 6 ¼ point lead over Clarion State. Mark Popple, Lenny Nelson , Kris and Kurt Rowlette had all made it to the championship round. A victory by just one of them would give Wilkes the first place honors . Kris Rowlette fell to Lehigh's Rich Santoro in the 126 pound final 9-2 . At 134, Kurt Rowlette lost a heartbreaker to Clarion's Mark Ciccarello in overtime. The Colonels were now trailing by a quarter point and hopes for their first Open title seemed to be slipping away. Lenny Nelson entered . Nelson , ranked eighth in the nation a year ago, was forced to sit out the first semester for academic reasons. Would the long layoff tarnish his performance? The Richland, N.]. native answered that question when he defeted Army's Steve nel, Michelle Zowoiski. A week later on January 15 fhe Lady Colonels hosted the Lady Monarchs of King's College who were without injured All-American Mary Beth Bowler. Despite sloppy play and poor shooting, the Lady Colonels were able to hang on for a 72-71 victory. In a game in which the shots just were not falling the Lady Colonels still managed to place four players in double figures. Kim Smith led the way with 22, and close on her heels was Charlene Hurst with 20. Michelle Zowoiski and Donna Martin added 14 and 11 respectively. Smith and Zowoiski also did their fair share on the backboards. Smith snared 14 rebounds, and Zowoiski hauled in nine. Even though the Lady Colonels were victorious, the win was a rather costly one. Junior co-captain Karen Bove , a graduate of Berwick, went down with a severe ankle injury in the early going of the game . The next opponent was Albright . College on January 20 , and the Lady Colonels were once again the host team. Despite the final score of 9373, the Lady Colonels still had some difficulties with the tough women form Albright. This time the Lady Colonels only had' six players score, but three hit double digits. Donna Martin continued her scoring streak with a 35 point effort to lead the way. She was followed by Kim Smith with 27 and Charlene Hurst with 18. Smith also led in the rebounding department with 14. Two days later on January 22, the Lady Colonels continued their homestand with a contest against the Lady Vikings of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ . The game was tough and physical, but the Lady Colonels were able to adjust and end up on top 87-74.

Hartdagen:Administration Not 'Anti-Liberal Arts' . by Hllen Van Riper Amid ru mors that the College is on the verge of dismantling and/ or discontinuing certain departments within th e humanities , Gerald E. Hartdagen·, Dean of Academic Affairs, stated that "the administration has not become anti-liberal arts and has no intention of hitting the human ities hard ." Hartdagen further emph asi;..:c: th at the College will now and in the future offer courses in the hum anities. These courses wi ll continue as they have in the past to both serve the core curriculum and . to keep the liberal arts nature and reputation of the College. However, he added that a num ber of factors are forcing the College to eval uate its com\Ili ttments to certain of the humanities depart ments . Fiscal difficulties caused by a decrease of overall student enrollmen t and a prolonged decline of st udent interest in certain areas of the human ities has resulted in much extensive discussion of alternatives and solutions. Much of the di scussion has cen tered upon the anth ropology minor , the theatre arts major , the fo reign language and philosoph y majors, and the possibility of merging some of the smaller humanities departments. According to Hartdagen, nothing is definite as of yet, and all of the f~l lowing possible changes are still m the verv early stages of development. Of the five tentative proposals . Hartdagen cited the elimination of the anth ropology minor as th e most probable. This proposal is current ly before the Curriculum Committee 1 awaiting approval. Hartdagen explained that for a number of years the College had tried to build the anthropology pro,1iram and become the only i~ stitution in northeast Pennsylvania to offer such a major . However , in sufficient enrollment forced reductions and the elimination of the major. The minbr · was maintained , but a current flagging of st udent interest is forci ng the elim.i nation of it as well. If the proposal is approved , the College will maintain courses in ~nt hropology as necessary to serve th e core. Also proba ble, according to Hart dagen, is the discontinuation of the theat re arts major. This proposal has also prompted by a decl ine in en rollment. The proposal, if adopted, wo uld have theatre arts become one of th e concentrations offered in communications. Another option under considerat ion fo r both the T heatre Arts and the Foreign Languages Depart ments is the institution of joi nt cooperative programs with Kin g's College. Hartdagen stressed that such joint programs woul d both maintain the maj'ors and "enh ance the educ~:ional possibilities fo r the st udents . Such programs would serve to strengthen th e legi timacy ol the majors . Hartdagen cited the major in German as an example . At pres - Com-mittee Reviews Curriculum by Ellen Van Riper The ad hoc Curriculum Review Committee recently subm itted to the Curriculum Committee's Long-Range Planning Committee for approval recnmmendations regarding the College Core Requirem~nts. This committee , headed by Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of th~ Department of Language and Literature , and comprised of repr_esentat1ves _from various ot)ler academic departments, was formed last sprmg by Preside nt Capin . The purpose of this committee is to review and analyze the present Wilkes College Core and to compose revisional recommendations for future Core Requirements . · . The following is a listing of the proposal set forth by th e ad hoc Cumcu lum Review Committee to its parent committee . . If approved , the proposal will he put before th e fac ult y for a vote of either denial or acceptance. e11t there is only one instructor. Dr. Wal ter Karpinich , and this lack of staff is not conducive to a major program of high calibre. Joint programs with King' s would help to solve this problem. With the departure of Dr. Roder ick Stewart at the conclusion of this semester and perhaps an additional departm,~ntal departure at the end of next year, the major in philosophy might also ·be eliminated . Corollary ~ecommendations Hartdagen cited the questionable viability of maintaining a major with only two instructors in the . I. Skills A .

Instead , it recommends that all instructors, especially those en the programs. As an example, teaching core courses, become conscious of the importance of this objective he cited the merger which resul ted and identify students whose speech habits and patterns are below acceptable in the Department of Language and college standards.

Recently an estimated 26 ,000 "pro-life " dem onstrators marched in the nation ' s capitol to pro test the anniversary of a U.S. Supreme Court deci sion that upheld the right of women to have abortions. Most of the people who attended the march felt that abortion was murder . Dr, Jack C. Wilke, president of the National Right to Life Committee , has stated that through abortion ' ' the cream of America has been killed.'' The statement Wilke has made was shared not : only by the participants in the protest but many · readers of local newspapers who support his view . The common view that these "pro-life" supporters shared was that if a proposed amendment outlawing abortions was passed by Congress many lives (of the unborn) would be spared. The National Abortion Rights Action League, a group fighting for abortion rights, knows that if this proposed amendment is passed horrible con sequences will still take place.

Donna S----------------------------- Sordoni Director Replies To Review To the Editor: Let me begin by saying that . 1 read with interest Mr. Henry E. Long's review of 28 January and heartily welcome his intention to write serious art criticism. I feel compelled, however, to comment on his ideas concerning the Sordoni Art Gallery's current, Pennsylvania Prints. Mr. Long' s contention that the exhibit.ion is merely reportage , '-' a statement of Pennsylvania's existence," suggests a rather li~ited view of what is to be considered aesthetically meritable. Furthermore, it belies a serious misun derstan di ng of the role of art prior to the late n ineteenth century. _Before that time art ists worked to a greater or lesser degree within the constraints of representationwhether it was portraiture, religious painting, or heroic sculpture. To imply, as Mr. Long does, that such constraints preclude the possibility of artisitc expression is absurd. The works exhibited in Pennsylvania Prints were executed withi,1 certain limits dictated by their inherent purpose. The results can not be categorically dismissed because they are representational any more than one can dismiss English portraiture, nineteenth century stilllife, or Photo Realism. Art for art's sake is a relatively new development in the history of art. It does not refute all that came before. While it is easier for some person's aesthetic sensibilities to be moved -by the shock of the avant -guarde, the art student would be well advised to take his or her lessons from even the most humble of predecessors. If the art students on this campus would like to see an exhibi tion of contemporary expressionism (the style is curren tly intern at ion al rather than singularly German as Mr. Long suggests), I would welcome the opportunity to work with them in organizing one. My door is open. Sincerely, Judith H. O'Toole Director Sordoni Art Gallery Wilkes College N .A.R.A.L. has also pointed out that some anti · choice fanatics, who consider people like _Henry Hyde and Ronald Reagan too soft , are irrevocabl y committed to passage of an amendment that would outlaw all abortions under any circumstances , in eluding cases where childbirth would result in the · death of the woman . I am indebted to N.A .R.A.L., for this group , like me holds the belief that abortion should be a personai decision . They also point out that in a recent survey taken on abortion, only one percent of those who support freedom of ·choice have been active in defense. N.A.R.A.L. urges that more people who support choice should become vocal, especially now, because of the increasing pressures of those anti-choice ,~' ,,, are applying increasing pressure on Congress. Across the Wilkes College campus these days rumblings are heard over the planned departures of a number of faculty members. Although the precise number of teaching changes has yet to be publicly unveiled, certain names have made their way into the campus grapevine. Among political sdence majors, especially pre-law students, the loss at the end of this semester of Dr. Robert Freysinger is causing '!lore than a little consternat10n . Freysinger has gaii:ied a_ follow!ng here for conducting mterestmg classes and teaching that strong rhetoric must be backed up with substance . 1n the music department , the loss of Jerry Campbell is being met by his students as a blow to the overall quality of the department. Likewise, the anticipated departure of Drs . Roderick Stewart and John Stevens in the philosophy department isn't being received well hy students in that major. To he fair ; there ·is no-thing new ahout student s being upset or protesting the loss of respected faculty members. ' The relationships that form between a teacher and students lend themselves to the type of loyalty that is accounting for much of the disgruntlement heard on campus today . But stripping away the emotionalism of the faculty changes, the entire situation raises a question about the overall direction Wilkes is heading in. There is every indication that in recent years Wilkes has been em phasizing those department~ that were immediately responsive t? the career goals of students : bus1n_~~, _nursi!1g, and sciences . Such an emphasis could be defended on the grounds that Wilkes was staying afloat fin~ncially b_y responding to a trend m the pnvate sector toward hiring people who had a "defined" education rather than a broad-based liberal arts upbringing. The problem with that defense can perhaps best be found in the ..,lfll~ of a Madison Avenue adv~rtising executive who once remarked : "By the time you ' ve spot ted a trend it ' s usually on th e way out . '' As a matter of fact, there' s recently been a marked change in the attitude toward liberal arts education on the part of both the private sector and the academic community. No longer is it viewed as a hollow shell, capable of producing people whose only virtue is being witt y at cocktail parties . The liberal arts education is returning to its place of prominence as a strong base from wh ich its students can venture forth in the real world. Wilkes ' reputation as a quality place of higher education was fo unded on the concept of liberal arts education . It would be too bad if Wilkes turned its back on what made it good in the past and coul d make it good in the future . John M. Anderson Reif Claims Last Week's Perspectir,e Out Of Focus To the Editor: John Finn's description of the present state of affairs in the US of A is good enough but his assign ment of a cause leaves much to be desired. The root of the problem, even the problem itself, is human overpopulation, and the US of A is the most overpopulated nation on Planet Earth . The present system em ployed by western civilization cannot sustain itself much longer if the num ber of human beings continues to increase. FDR, eschewing M_r. Hoover's more realistic actions, decided that the federal government , with ~!Tie state aid has been underwntmg overpopuiation and has gone into debt to do just that. To blame Mr. Reagan for 'the present situation is to disregard ecological facts. Mr. Reagan may not have the answer but he should be given credit for having attempted to reverse the trend toward collapse of the sys_tem. If people cannot solve tlie problem, the environment will find a way to eradicate the species which is kill- ing the goose which lays the golden eggs. Respectfully, Charles B. Reif Taking the rubber out of checks Merchants in campus communities frequ ently complain abo ut students bouncing checks. But in Malibu , ~alif., home of Pepperdi ne U., merchants know that what the students don 't cover , the student government will. Under a new program initiated this fall, the Student Government Associ ation covers bounced checks of up to $20 written by students with valid identification . After a merchant sends a check through the bank twice, he sends it to the SGA, which then reimburses the merchant and bills the student. If a student doesn't respond to two SG A letters, the amount of the check, plus a $5 charge, is added to the student's activity fee for the upcoming quarter . The student must pay the fee before registering. The purpose of the program is not to make it easier for students to bounce checks, but to cover "cash -flow problems" typical to college _students, and to promote better relations with Malibu merchants, says Patti Yoma n tas, director of public information. �February 4, 1983, The Beacon, Page 5 Prop et Perspective ..................................................................... by John Finn "Scorched earth" (the smell of napalm in the morning) is a phrase currently being used to describe the policy of the military dictator of Guatemala , one of four Central American countries now in the midst of revolutionary upheaval. In order to destroy the base of a strong leftist insurgency, General Efrain Rios-Montt , a self-proclaimed born-again Christian who seized power last March in a coup, has been systematically burning villiages and massacring large populations of Indians and peasants in rural mountain- regions. Amnesty International , a non-partisan human rights group, estimates that 3,000 Indian peasants were murdered by government forces between March and August of 1982. Several hundred thousand more are fugitives in their own land, the victims of a conflict they did not start and do not understand. This is the,. nature of the second phase of the war in Guatemala. The first phase of brut- al political repression was carried out i11 the few cities and larger towns. The Guatemalan government now claims, with some truth, that in key urban areas, death tolls have declined drastically since the end of 1982. This is logical , since in many key reg_i_s)ns, there are simply fewer people left to kill. For three years , Guatemala received no economic aid from the United States due to these messy human rights matters. In Decem ber, though, following his first and only meeting with Rios-Montt , President Reagan announ ced that he would recommend to Congress that military and economic aid be resumed to Guatemala because of significant improvements in human rights. The general must be a very persuasive speaker. Similarly, la~t week the presi dent certified to Congress that hum an rights progress had been made in El Salvador and that a $360 million aid package should be sent. In the past three years, more than 36,000 civilians have been slaughtered and the horrors of this small nation are tragically bec;oming a cliche. But the argument is that since political murders have declined from 10,000 to 5,000 annually, this is progress. T he Reagan administration justifies this situ~tion by · saying that the rebel forces are on the run and can finally be crush ed if our support for the madmen on the far right does not waver. But something doesn't quite fit. Clearly, the rebels are more in con trol than we have been led to believe , for on January 19 , the political leadership of the left announced thast the war would shortly spread to the center and the south of El Salvador. Less than two weeks later the rebels launched a major offensive in those regions. Not only are they picking the ground to fight on, they are even courteousl y announcing thei r intentions in advance. The current approach to the con flict in Central America has evidently failed. The only question now is about the degree of fur ther damage it will cause before it is changed . The Reagan strategy was to explain the problems as the result of Cuba and Nicauragua exporting socialism and terrorism to otherwise peaceful, trouble -free countries. This explanation alone is invalid for its obvious inability to] explain why the seeds of socialism or Marxism or revolution are find ing fertile soil in the region in the first place. These revolutionary movements clearly have a substantial popular base or they would not have such strength and momentum . But because the Reagan 'solution' on ly acknowledges one side' s point of view, it has alienated the largest segment of the· population . Traditionally , this group straddles the middle of the political spectrum. Now , in both El Salvador and Guatemala, the years of repressive tactics from the Right have caused a polarization that has forced millions of citizens to choose sides, and not many are moving our way. The Reagan policy is now entering its most terrifying and insidi ous phase:· As popular opposition rises against the U.S. backed military regimes, the president speaks of the importance of democratic Conservative Comment by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Hagg~rty, Jr. For the third consecutive year , Ronald Reagan has set the political agenda. Not surprisingly as a result of his 1984 budget proposal, the predictable storm ,of criticism from the media, the left, the right, and every other direction possible has ensued, as it does whenever a trul y far-reaching proposal is made . Looki ng comprehensively at the 1984 budget proposal , we see the Reagan budget as pragmatic and fai r, despi te claims to the contrary. Point after point in the budget demonst rates its overall soundness. The most controversial -and important item of the proposal is the freeze on most spen ding. This calls for keeping government programs without built-in increases, such as cost-of-living allowances, at 1983 levels. The two advantages to this proposal are the cap on skyrocketing federal spending which it provides, and the overall fairness of this comprehensive freeze . Passage of · this item will prevent special interest groups from claiming their program has been unfairly cut. We all know what happens at budget time--cuts are proposed, but by the time all affected parties , such as senior citizens, students, minorities, and all the rest of the groups with their han ds in Uncle Sam's pocket, have their say, nothing is really cut out in the end. A freeze on federal spending will prevent th is, and will limit any one program from being more affected than the others. The next major part of Reagan 's proposal is his $ 5 5 billion in defense savings over the next fi ve years. This is a hard item for us to swallow , since we see these cuts as affecting our overall military readiness, which has ·just begun to improve under President Reagan . These cuts are a set backwards , but in the interest of compromise and fairness, we realize that defense must be cut for political reasons. These cuts he! p the president 's position in that they demonstrate that everyone is suffering a little in th i!; austere budget, even · the mighty Pentagon . Another of Reagan's sound proposals is his controls on benefit programs, such as food stamps and medicare. These programs have historically been the fas test growi ng in the budget , and are the principal cause of deficits. No, despite what you have heard, defense spending and tax cuts are not the causes of defi cits. Over the past 25 years, defense spending has gone down in its share of the Gross National Product, and tax rates have increased. It is social spending which has skyrocketed to astronomical percentages , much more than had been the case two decades ago . In this period , the deficits have skyrocketed. Simple logic points to social spending as the reason. Presi dent Reagan 's new proposed con trols will help assure that this spending is moderated and that only those who deserve aid will get it. The government cannot afford these programs otherwise. As our final point, we must compare the president 's proposals with those of the Democrats. While President Reagan offers specific budgetary items to reduce spending, ·the • Democrats say vaguely that they will '' control spending.'' Their other two points for recovery are equally vague. They speak of some ''tax reform,'' which we all ~gree with, but they 99n '_t__have__~ principals and "drawing the liae against communism," and then quietly moves to provide more military hardware and training for security forces. Even though it does not seem likely that President Reagan will change course and seek a political and diplomatic solution by recognizing the legitimate problems of the region's people , it may be. good to consider former Mexican President Pnrtillo 's comment that ' ' what i~ taking place . . . and what is blowing throughout the whole region, does not constitute an intolerable danger to the basic interests and the national security of the United' States. What does constitute a danger for the U.S. is the risk of history's condemnation as a result of suppressing by force the rights of other nation s.'' •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• plan for it. They also went out on a limb in favoring lower interest rates, but again their only proposal was some gi bberish about legislating to the Federal Reserve. For other problems, such as education and research and development, they propose "co_rporations" to solve. Sorry Tip, more bureaucracy isn' t what we had in mind. A ll in all , the Democratic proposal presents admirable goals without any realistic way of achieving them. love him or hate him , you must say this about the president. His budget is the only one wh ich spec- ifically addresses today's vital issues with specific solutions. Even if you dislike the president, you must respect h is political courage in doing this.

T he Debate Union going to its first tournament outside of th e U.S.A . traveled to Montreal, Canada for two days of major com petition in the area of forensics and debate. The -competition consist- _ ed of individual public speaking contests in oratory, informative speaking, interpretation of literature, improvisational acting, extemporaneous discourses , an d impromptu orations. Plus there was competition in traditional debate as well as the very popular LincolnDouglas (one on one) debate. Wilkes entered all events. With more than 15 3 competitors represent ing 15 colleges and urt'tversities, the members of " Kinn ey's Kids " won an impressive 13 troph - ies. The Debate Team consisting of Walter Shonfeld and Donna O' Toole completed the tournament with a perfect record. They defeated th e U.S. Coast Guard Academy in the fin al round to clinch the top award. In addi tion , Shon feld was named the outstanding debate speaker and his partner O'Toole was awar_ded the fifth place outstanding debate speaker. In Linc;oln-D ouglas competition, the Debate Union made an admirable showing with equal win/loss records. Those entering this form of competition were: Susan Loveitt, Annette Winski, and Darrell Lewis . In the public speaking competition Wilkes captured seven awards. Winski, completing her first year , 'picked up a fifth place troph y in extemporaneous speaking, a third place victory in informative discourse , and a fifth place honor in persuasive oratory. Her team mate O'Toole, in addition to her debate awards , secured a third place finish in impromptu oration6. O ' Toole. along with Lewis . won a fi ft h place troph y in improvi ~ational act ing.

The Christ mas season and semester break was an especially busy one for Wilkes College Circle K 'ers. The largest project accomplished by Circle K was a 12-hour dance marathon held for the benefit of Muscular Dystrophy that raised $324. The marathoners ' 'Danced the Night Away" for 12 hours from 9 p.m. Saturday, January 15 , to 9 a.m. Sunday, January 16, in the Wilkes College Gymnasium . Because of inclement weat.Aer, there were few dancers , but those who were present enthusiastically spent the night dancing for MD. Wilkes College Circle K had two award winners for the most amount of money pledged . Cherie Silviano won first place and Rick Heck captured third place for his contribution . · Michelle Lamare from St. Rocco's Youth Group won second place. Preceeding the dance marathon , Wilkes College Circle K was host for a Tri-K Rally. The Tri-K fam ily consists of three groups of clubs: Key clubs from the high school level, Circle K clubs from the col lege level, and Kiwanis clubs from the community level. · The afternoon was spent attending workshops aimed at improving certain aspects of the clubs such as leadership, fund-raising, and membership. Circle K District Governor Mary Rita Gayz, from Pennsyl- vania State University, Lehman campus , was present , as well as other dignitaries from the Key Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs within the Pen nsylvania District . The rally was foll owed by a buffet dinner held in the Susquehanna Lounge of King 's College. Circle K Intern ational President Dave Kelly arrived from West Virginia to meet with members of the Tri-K family in the Pennsylvania Distri ct and to attend the dance marathon later in the evening. Although members were busy preparing for these two events, they also participated in other projects. One pre-Christm_as pr.oject was helping to trim the Christmas trees of various elderl y high-rise apart ment buildings. Besides trimming t he trees, Circle K 'ers also sang Ch ristmas carols with the senior citizens. Ci rcle K'ers also assisted at the 50th Wilkes Open Wrestling Tourney on December 29 -30. Members acted as runners between the judges tables and the announ cer. They also hel ped to post scores after the matches. In January , Wilkes College Circle K received a plaque from Mul tiple Sclerosis in appreciatibn for their annual Haunted House . Each year, Circle K 'ers become ghouls and goblins to try to '' scare up some money for MS. This school year, the '' 13th Floor' ' of Gus Genetti's raised $1900 for Mul tiple Sclerosis. The planning for the induction of officers and new members was first priority of the new yea r after return ing to classes. T he Circle K induct ion dinner will be held t>n February 13 in the school cafeteria. Following the buffet dinner, the following officers will be installed : Patty DeCosmo, president ; Shawn Sharksnas, vice president ; Lori Elias, secretary; and Jennifer Ogurkis, treasurer. Fourteen new mem ~rs will also be welcomed formally into the club . When the Circl e K Club is not acti vely part icipating in any event , • they spend most of their free time in the clubroom, located in the basement of Chase Hall. You can always find some company there , as well as finding out what 's going on in Circle K . Currently, the " club is planning a campus-wide campaign for Internally Circle K .

H ope to see you there! . - - - - - - -- --Scientifically Speaking-------- . The conservation Controversy by Melissa Meyers In today's world of technology and convenience, it is easy to discern science as a pursuit bent on man's mastery of his environment . However, there now exists a growing number of people concerned with protecting our nation's natural beauty against the threat of modern technology. Conservationists and developers are finding themselves at odds now more than ever , and this conflict is nowhere more apparent than in the case of Ameri ca 's national parks . Our nation has always held a tradition of preserving at least some natural lands. President Benjamin Harrison set aside the first forest reserves in 1891. His efforts were succeeded by those of Theo- <lore Roosevelt who created a Natiu,d Forest Service in 1905 . To- da y, national lands e ncompass 191 million acres , set aside to "best meet the needs of the American people." It is not the principle of preserving ·federal lands that has been challenged recently, but the ambiguous language with which such preservation is qualified . The problem lies in how to best use these lands without entering the realm of abuse. National forests and wildernesses are used in many ways-for timber , miriing, grazing, and recreation . It is not illegal to use these resources ; in fact, the law provides for their propagation . However , there is a firie line between exploration and exploitation, and it is this line that current legislation seeks to define. In 1964', Congress passed the Wilderness Act in the interest of settin~ aside areas "unspoiled by man. ' The act is by no means airtight , allowing for oil, gas, and mineral exploration until January of 1984. The impending deadline has brought about a flurry of activity ( applications for exploration numbered more than 1,000 in 1982 alone). Such efforts are only encouraged by Secretary of the Interior James Watt, whose goals for 1981 include "opening wilderness areas .'' If developers (and, seemingly, Secretary Watt) have their way , our national lands may face destruction . Though this statement may sound far-fetched, consider what has already happened in several national parks. The Monongahela Nation al Forest was subjected to clearcutting in 1963 , a process of extreme timbering which led to extensive deforestation . While the Forest Service held that it was engaging in sound forestry practices, opponents argued that wildlife, watershed , and recreation were suffering. After a 1973 court battie, the clearcutting was stopped, but the National Forest Management Act of 1976 again gave permission for this method "where deemed best." Strip mining for coal has so damaged forests that obtaining a permit for mining in Wyoming's Thunder Basin Nation- • al Grassland can take up to five years. In Utah's Manti -La Sal , indiscriminate mining has already caused subsidence of vegetation. Horror stories of other abuses are simply too numerous to mention here, but the list goes on. Few people would deny that current society places unreasonable demands on its resources , but this does not necessitate passing the burden on to our national wilderness.

Amnest y In ternational is a worldwide human rights organization working for the release of prisoners of conscience, for fairer trials for political prisoners and for an end to torture and the death penalty. Timothy Cain , coordinator of the local AI group , explained how Amne st y International works . Members write letters on behalf of the imprisoned and tortured to the appropriate government authorit ies . . They try to make the general public , as well as the "offending government , aware that they are detaining people for ~asons of conscience." Members keep applying pressure to the government un til the violation stops . · There are several ways in which the group works . One way is through adoption groups. These groups consist of approximately 4 or 5 people. Each group works for at least two prisoners who are being held in countries other than the group's own country. The "adopted" prisoners are from different geographical and ideological political ki llings. • The _~1mpus network · plans to establish 1 local camp!lign for the abolition o, torture. This is the in. tern ational AI campaign for the year. They will also be participating in a call for general amnesty for all prisoners of conscience by circulating petitions. These petitions, which are also being circu lated by other AI members through out the world , will be presented to the U.N . General Assembly in October. They are also working on bringing in a guest speaker this semester. The campus network consists of approximately 2'5 volunteers. According to Cain. the group is "actively looking for people who would be willing to write letters." Anyone can become involved in AI at anv leve! thev wish . Amnesty International•~ efforts do produce results : approximately 40 percent of all the prisoners who are adopted get out of thei r situation. Amnesty International consists of more than 250,000 members in more than I 30 countries. It is "independent of all governments, political factions, ideologies, economic interests, and religious creeds.'' backgroun ds to reflect Amnesty In ternat ional ' s impartiality. The group then writes letters to the heads of state of the countries in which the prisoners are being held. They also send material aid, such as medicine, food and clothing , to the prisoners and their families. Another way AI works is through urgent action groups. M~mbers of these groups are periodically called on to send letters to assist persons in extreme danger- those who the movement has reason to believe are being tortured or executed. Amnesty International members also work through country cam paigns. These are special efforts to call attention to human rights violations within a particular country . The Amnesty International group at Wilkes is a campus network. As such, its members are involved in "country campaigns, urgent actions and in educating their campus community on human rights." The Wilkes campus network concentrated on Uganda and Poland during thei r summer coun try campaign. They will continue, concentrating on Poland until midsemester when they will turn t_heir efforts to the U.S.S .R. Thev also plan to work on Namhia and on Unexpected Ben~fits Available To vets Veterans at Wilkes may have many opportunities open to them which they do not know about. John Hornberger , director of the Veterans Office at Wilkes, stated that a lack of information is one of the main reasons that so many veterans miss out on what is available to them. Though there are more than 50 veterans currently enrolled in courses at Wilkes, Hornberger reported that there should be hundreds. According to Hornberger , the reason there are not more vets on campus is because so many are un aware of the educational benefits available to them . He also reported that more current recruitment emphasizes that the government will pay for college for enlisted men , when only a few years ago, the same benefits were available, but went unpublicized . ''If you were not looking for the information, chances were you'd miss out on all .that was available and it was, and is considerable," said tfomberger. In an effort to better control the situation the Veterans Administration now requjres that all students who are collecting veterans benefits to report to the veterans affairs office on their campus.

This need is recogn ized by organ izations such as Defenders of Wildlife, Nationa.I Wilcil ife Federation , Izaak Walton League and the Sierra Club, who use their somewhat limited funds to fight a much larger . wealthier bureaucratic machine. Perhaps more importantly, the need for preservation of federal lands is illustrated by the hun dreds of thousands of Americans who visited our shrinking wildernesses in 1982. These people already know what the rest of the country may learn only when it is too late-that unless prudent action is taken, we stand to lose our most vital natural resourse. T his resource is the very land upon which America is built . Some of the benefits listed under higher education for the veteran include: the VA will pay the vet while they complete high school; go to college or while in an apprenticeship program. Also, the Veterans Educational Assistance Program provides financial assistance under the voluntary contributory education program in which the government matches the veteran's contribution for funding for school after separation from the service. Currently, these programs are only available for up to 10 years after someone is discharged, however. many groups are trying to get this rule abolished. Vets are eligible for roughly $100-$342 per_ month under various collegiate programs, while still being allowed to apply for reguJar state and federal loans and grants. They are also eligible for work-study jobs on campus. Hornberger explained that the Veterans Affiars Office is set up to assist veterans on campus or those in the community interested in education and does not as a group take part in any political matters, such as assistance for victims of agent orange. The Veterans- Affairs Office is now located in Stark Leaming Center , room 276. , )W'}Mi':. . ~ :al'JC)ml)!Xmal!

The show will last approximately two hours and include a variety of comedy and music acts. Judges will choose first, second and third place winners. Greg Marshall, chairman of the show, reported that the admission price of $1.25 will go into the treasury of Big Brothers/Bi~ Sisters. "Most of it will go toward paying the cafeteria bill tha~ people have run up from taking their little brothers and sisters to the caf to eat," stated Marshall. "The remainder will be used for the end-of-the-year picnic and perhaps a trip to the Bronx Zoo that would be co-spon -' sored with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters at King's.'' The Big Brothers/Big Sisters Club on campus is associated with an organization known as The Bridge or Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of Luzerne County. This organization matches members with a child who they are asked to spend at least four hours a week with. "We don't shower them with gifts or act like Santa Claus," stated Marshall, "we're just supposed to spend quality time with them, even playing softball or something.'' Marshall went on to explain that the children involved are usually from single parent families, and that their names are submitted when the parent feels the child needs guidance. Often it is motherless girls who are given Big Sisters and fatherless boys who receive Big Brothers. By Marshall's estimates there are approximately 60 Wilkes students involved in Big Brothers/Big Sisters, 3q to 35 of whom are match ed with children . Tim Dillon is the president of 1he Wilkes branch of the organiza tion. · The fact is that censorship always defeat_s its own purposes , for it creates , m the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion . . .

The first seminar, ''Nursing is Looking UP: Meeting Spiritual Needs in Nursing," will be held Feb. 22 from 3-5 p.m. The event ;s free of charge. Conducting the seminar will be Sharon Fish . Fish , who.received her master's degree in nursing from the University of Rochester , is coauthor of the book , ' ' Spirtual Care , th e Nurse ' s Role." According_·to Felice , ~he approach that the Wilkes Nursing Depart ment takes is that man is a physical , emotional , sociological , spiritual and cultural person . But, she noted that this spiritual aspect is often overlooked. She pointed out that as people .· age, they tend to have a closerrelationship with God. · ''Nurses are aware of this relationship,'' Felice explained. '' but feel untrained in how to deal with this in a hurting person ." She stressed that the purpose of this sem inar is to help ident ify man 's spiritual aspect and teach nurses how to relate to it. The second sem inar , " Burnout and What Can Be Done About It ,'' will be held April 13 beginning at 9 a.m . A fee will be charged for the workshop. The featured speaker for the allday event will be Vicki Lachman, who has her master's degree in nursing and currently is a doctorate student at Temple University. · According to Felice, Lachman takes a " very individual approach in defining stress and burnout. "She'll take us through our stress response and teach us what we can do about it," Felict said, "and not make the patient, our job or our personal life suffer. What she' II tell us isn't job-related; it is life-related.'' Her approach includes: exercise and relaxation techniques, nut rition information, asserti veness training , stress identification , th e importance of support systems and design ing personal stress-reduction programs. Both .seminars will be held in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for • the Performing Arts and are open to the public.

On January 26 , the ladies notched an impressive 84-81 win over the Lady Monarchs of King's College at the Scancllon Gym . However, on the final day of the month the team travelled to Philadelphia and were derailed by the Division II Philadelphia Textile Lady Rams, 87-69 . The season record now stands at 8-4. The contest against the Lady Monarchs was part of a three-game sweep by Colonel teams over their cross-town rivals, as both tile men's basketball and ice hockey teams also recorded victories over the Monarchs. It was not a very ,llOOd evening for those in red and goTd. Earlier in the season the Lady Colonels had edged the Lady Monarchs 72-71 at the Wilkes Gym, so the King's women were eager for revenge. As in the first contest between the teams, the Lady Monarchs were forced to take the floor without injured All-American Mary Beth Bowler. As usual, this Lady Colonel and Lady Monarch matchup was both emotional and exciting. In the first half, the teams traded baskets with Wilkes counting on the perimeter markmanship of Charlene Hurst , Donna Martin , and Michelle Zowoiski and King's utilizing an effective fast break engineered by guard Teresa Bowler. Even the coachesg0t into the· act. At the 15: 4 5 mark of the half, the scoreboard showed King's ahead .10-8. Lady Colonel Coach Nancy Roberts, however, thought -otherwise, and a verbal scuffle ensued at the scorer's table. After the dust had settled, the score was amended to read 8-8. In the first period King's had the misfortune to have key players get into foul difficulty. By the half's end , Teresa Bowler , the floor leader and leading scorer for King's, had three fouls as did other Lady Monarch players. These difficulties came back to eventually haunt the Lady Monarchs in the second half. As a part of her second half strategy, Roberts instructed her players to draw· the fouls on those King's players in difficulty. . The strategy was executed to perfection as Lady Colonel Karen Bove drew the all important fifth on Bowler at the 9 :27 mark. As Bowler drove the lane for a seemingly easy layup, Bovf! squarely pos.ition eel herself to draw the offensive charge. · Bowler was not the only Lady Colonel victim. At the 5 :46 mark , King's also lost the services of guard Maureen Ryneski to similar disqualification. As had been their tendency all season long, the Lady Colonels displayed a balanced scoring attack . Sophomore guard Charlene Hurst with 24 points headed a group of four players who connected for double figures. Also . hitting for double di_gits ,-.-□ were fres hman guard:D~nna,Maitin with 23, junior: Forward and teai:n co-captain Kirri Smith with ~5, and freshma11 forward Michelle -Zowoiski with 1 I. ·. · .

Agai n st Ph ila del ph ia Te x tile the Lady Colonels plummeted from the highest of highs to the lowest of all possible lows. Pride and victory turned to embarassment and defeat as the Lady Colonels played their worst game of the season . From the opening tip-off it seemed as if the contest would be a nip and tuck affair down to the final buzzer. The match between an established Division II team and an up-and-coming Division III team seemed· to be living up to all expectations. Throughout the opening minutes, the Lady Colonels managed to stay within a five to seven point spread behind the opposition. · Then something went wrong. The Lady Rams began _to exploit and capitalize upon a combination of poor shot selection and weak offensive to defensive transition by the Lady_ Colonels to build a 20 plus lead within a two minute span in the middle of the half. After a time-out called by Coach Roberts to regroup her shell-shocked troops, the Lady Colonels managed to rally and go into the intermission on the short end of a 4932 score. .The second period started off with ••n-•• •-"•" r 11a111r1EL were 38 percent for Wilkes and 44 a Lady Colonel surge, and they percent lor Textile. managed to cut the margin to 13 at For the game, the Lady Colonels one point.

Street Gym have been aroun~ for_ 20 years, b~t t,~e blue pnnts continue to collect dust in John Reese s offICe. Reese said, I have plans for three different extensions in my office; I've had them since 1963." . . There i_s no questio_n that more court space is needed. For example, during the winter _months, three varsity teams use the gym, the men's basket~all and wrestling_ teams an~ the w?men 's ~as½e~ ball team. When you add intramurals, physical ~ucat1on periods and individual workouts, it becomes obvious that the gym 1s not large enough to accomodate the athletic needs of the college. The gym was constructed in 1950 and at that time it was one of the best athletic facilities in the area. It no longer lives up to that reputation . One only has to travel as far as nearby King's College or the University of Scranton_to see that the one-floor Wilkes structure is outdated. Wilkes President., Robert S. Capin recognizes the need tor an extension on the 33-year-old building. ' ' There is no question th~t _extra rooms ~re needed, " Capin said. "It is in our long range plans, but 1t 1s not something we can address immediate'ly.'' Both Capin and Reese s~ated that it would take a major donation to get the P.roject off the ground. Reese said, " People who give big money, just don t give that kind of money for a gym. " He continued, "It's all a matter of money, we just keep getting pushed back .' ' Through the years the expansion plan has been tabled for a variety of reasons: the Agnes flood, the addi tion of Stark Learning Cen"ter and the construction of Founders Hall have all contributed to the delay . Th is may seem like the wrong time to bring up the question as to why the extension hasn ' t been built . We are in the midst of a recession and the College has been forced to cut back in all areas. When will there be a good time to start this project? There hasn ' t ben, reason enough to undertake the task during the past 20 years , and as it stands now there are no immediate plans to start construction. It is always easier to make an excuse rather than work out a solution. It seems to me that, now , as in the past , Wilkes has placed athletics low on its list of priorities. I do not pretend to have a simple solution to this problem but what I . suggest is that the College give more serious consideration to this issue. This, "Well someday we'll get it done" attitude is.starting to wea r th in after two decades . '· As always comments and suggestions concerning Beacon ed itorials are encouraged.

T he most exciting match of the day came against Harvard in the 150 pound weight class. Wilkes senior Mark Popple brought the small crowd to its feet when he pinned Tony Dienstock with just one second remaining. The win raised his record to 11 -2-1 and helped his team coast to an easy 25-15 victory over the Crimsons. Kris Rowlette put the Colonels on the board with an 8-1 major decision over Steve Beati in the 126 pound bout. Kurt Rowlette , coming off a knee injury, followed his brother with a hard-fought 13-10 victory over Harvard's Dav· id Ellen. · T he win put the Colonels in the lead. In jury-plagued Len n y Nel son had more than he could hancile against natio n al(y- ran ke d Andy McNerney. . Nelson dropped the match by a score of 19-0 and the" Colonels trailed by two. Popple followed and the Colonels were in front for good. Wilkes posted victories in the remainder of the bouts. Tom Jamicky, 158; Jim Mulligan , 167 ; Mark Correll, 177; and Pete Creamer at 190 were all able to put three points. each on the board for Wilkes . With the victory already guaranteed, Colonel Coach John Reese chose not to send freshman heavyweight Paul Wysocki onto the mats.

This motion was passed by a vote of 1 5 to 6. McGovern also requested that a list of those st uden ts who rece ived parking spaces and IRHC 's reasons fo r bestowing th e stickers be posted. This request was met wit h dis approval from the Co un ci l. Fo rm an announced t h at he would be happy to sit down wit h students who did not receive permits and would be willing to explain why th ey did not. At the end of th e meeting, Paul Adams stated that it was unfortun ate that such an anger-filled meeting had to take place . He added, however, that IRHC should perhaps "look at it as a bless ing , " because students had been willing to voice their opinions openl y at the co un cil meeting. -FollowUpFollowing the conflict at Sunday's IRHC meeting, Marge LeB!anc ex plained the process used to decide who received a parking permit and why _some students might find it unfair. The Student Handbook states " First consideration will be given to those students who are required by their major or by a particular co urse to have transpo rtation .

Debate Team Places Sixth At "Woodrow Wilson" Tourney The Public Speaking Unit of the Wilkes College Debate Union con tinued its sweep of victories this past weekend. The members of "Kinney's Kids" recently completed two days, of competition in the classic forensics tournament known as the "Woodrow Wilson ." Wilkes won four trophies and completed the competition with a sixth-place overall finish . The tournament was sponsored and hosted by Monmouth College's Communication Department and the Wilson l·oundatiun. · Monmouth College is located on the Shadow Lawn estate, the sum - mer "White House" of former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, · in West Long Branch, New Jersey . This tournament is considered by many to be the finest speech tournament on the east coast and participation is by invitation only. Invitations are highly sought after by all schools involved in for ensics competition . Wilkes has been invited to participate for the last five years. A school's eligibility is determined by school interest, win / loss records, and the ability to contribute to the overall development of forensic education. Twenty colleges and universities ~ fr,.'ll as far away as California and Los Angeles gathered on the Mon mouth campus for the compeition . Varsity speaker Donna O'Toole established a new inshouse record for Wilkes by winning three "Wilson" awards. O'Toole claimed a fourth-place trophy irr Extemporaneous Speaking and a second-place trophy for her Impromptu Orations. Her teammate Marybeth Zuvich won a fifth place "Wilson" trophy for poetry competiton . The tournament awards were capped when O'Toole was recognized as the fourth best speaker in the competition-out of a field of 14 7 contestants. . . . : .. : ! : • .• �Pa e 2, The Beacon, Februar · 11, 1983 SG Meeting W,orkshopO/fers Complaints .V oiced At Meeting by Rebecca Whitman Controve~sy' and discussi on fill ed the SG meeting Monday ni ght as IRHC !'Q_embers and . ~tu cknts protesting the IRHC Park_m g Co~mittee attended the meeting to air their views. Bill Laurie's opening comments on the matter set the tone of the discussion, much of which bordered on hostility . Lourie denounced SG Vice President Ralph Pringle's behavior at the previous night's IRHC meeting stating that Pringle had overstepped the bounds of his authority and had undermined the authority of IRHC by sidill,g with the students who demanded an investigation into the parking com · mitte's procedures. Pringle then replied that it would be a sad day when he could not express his opinion at any meeting at the College . Dave Talenti, parliamentarian, announced that he refused to allow personal attacks at the meeting and that he resented Laurie's behavior and remarks. Elaine Kerchusky said she felt it was important for all sides of the issue to have a chance to air their views and that it would help her form an opinion since she was un· able to attend the IRHC mff'•ing Suggestions In Hand(ing herself. Members of the IRHC committee pointed out how difficult it is to hand out spaces when there are only 37 available to resident stu · dents.. Stacy Keeley said that perhaps there should be a change in the format of the applications themselves. Kerchusky announced that sh_e was willing to take on the responst · hili1y of heading the neutral com mittee students had requested to loc,k into th parking committee and procedures. She also reported that the committee would consist of two commuters and two resident students and those students' names would be kept confidential so that they would not have to be harassed by students who did · not receive parking permils. Several people wished to know exactly what the power of this com mittee would be, but Kerchusky said that would depend on what they found. She also thanked everyone for attending and reminded everyone that the meetings are open to any member of the student body. IRHC Presi<lent Marge LeBlanc. also stated that she was pleased that students had come forward at the IRHC meeting instead of simply complaining to their friends th.at they had been treated unfairly .

The exhibit contains a representation of the scholarly efforts of the Wilkes faculty. These efforts include research publications, papers presented at conferences, publish - ed books and articles, and even paintings, all produced by the fac ulty. The exhibit will be on display for the entire month of February, but will be changed periodically during that time in order to give· a wider scope of the faculty's achievements. The exhibit is located in the rear of the first floor of the library. Dr. Shao noted that the exhibit _encompasses quite a va riety of su bjects. From art to physics, nea rly every department is representpcl Dr. Shao said that the student lxidy is " not aware of the fact that the faculty, as individuals, are scholars in their own fields." She stated that many of the faculty members , whose works are on displ ay, are st ill very yo ung . Dr. Shao commented, ''Really , we have qui te a faculty here.''

IRHC Meeting (continued froni page 1) ............................. . ial consideration may also be g1ve n to those st udents who demonstrate the need for on-campus parking due to health problems .'' LeBlanc reported that the parking committee has always followed this rule, and never has faced problems such as the present ones. The IRHC Parking Coml!Rittee, which decides who gets permits, consists of Kirk Forman , committee chairman , and the IRHC officers Marge LeBlanc, Stacy Lipman, Naomi Harris, Lori Kocur , and Sandy Bartels. LeBlanc denied that the Committee· showed favoritism when allotting parking permits , stating that " parking is one of the few things _.· th at students on ,·ampus can _govern themselves. It would be hard to find any st udent who co uld not be charged with favoritism if they · were in charge of giving out the permits." - "We have nothing to hide," said LeBlanc. "It's impossi ble to please everyone.'' Sh~ went on to explain exactl y how the Parking Committee makes its decisions : every member of the Committee reads each request form , and these are then separated into "yes, no and maybe" · piles . It is from these _piles- that the choices are made. Faced with only 3 7 spaces and 98 applications, thi_s year's committee called some students, notably nursing majors, to request that thev attempt to fo rm car pools. ' ' It i·s difficult to make decisions when some students list one anot hPr as people they will Ix· carpooling with: ' said Le Blanc cit in,w thl' sometimes duplicate names on various applications. She also explained that stu dents sho uld he more specific if they feel they have special reasons for needing on-campus parking space .

High emotion can lead an editor to embarrassing straits. Ecstactic passion can bring vi ctory to the wa1:rior, conquest to the lover , but for the commentator it merely engenders · nasty letters to the editor. This in mind, I sat down to write an editorial about ''WHY ALL THE HOOHA ABOUT THE LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM IS BOTHERING ME." By "genre" an English major m yself, I at first wrote an impassioned fi ve-page sermon on the value of the Humanities to individuals , the College , and society at large . I wrote about the beauty of expanded visi on . of the purification of the soul through the arts, of the enlightening and elevating _e_roperties i~erent in a sensitively written_pcem, a philosophi cal treatise, a finely crafted play, a sensual painting, or a rich musical composition. I wrote of the vast extent to which the artistic experiences can teach us about ourselves , can lead to a world view that would make Utopian visions seem, and nearly be , real. I wrote of the importance of the Humani ties as s·y nthesizing forces in a wcirld fraught with internal strife, the arts as experiences that bind men to one another rather than cleave them into separate worlds where love, at least the sort that gave us the Pieta, is absent. Et Cetera . And after writing fi ve smoking pages, I found I had written virtually not hing -- for two reasons. First, no matter how verbose I became . I co uld never say enough. The arts needed a better standard-bearer than me ; I was merely an undergraduate h ypnotized by their beauty. Second , I fp und I was writing to the converted , lil<e myself; my abstract language , which might prompt a roomful of arts maj ors to nod in understanding ; would probably set a group of practical businessmen sniggering into their shirt sleeves . T o the non-converted , I would sound (to quote John Barth) merely ' ' dipp v:' I tried an other approach : I decided to look at the Facts. The Facts, or rather the Fact (for indeed there seemed to be onl y one , and it was a whopper), at first appeared to be against me. Enrollment of undergraduate majors in ph ilosoph y, anth ropology, th e forei gn languages, and theatre arts appeared to be low , so low t hat t he College administra tion question.ed the Humanities' continued cos t efficiency. Wh y keep an academic major that nobody seem ed to care abo ut on the books at all ? Wh y offer a variety of upper-level courses in a departmen t (and as a consequence retai n a number of facul ty membe rs in that department) fo r onl y a handful of students ? Wh y perpe tuate such departments when other majors, such as the sciences and busi ness, were obviously attracting more students and offering more " practi cal," job-oriented skills? Wh y n ot just eliminate the fl1 ~jors in philosoph y, theatre arts, anth ropolopgy, and forei1,>n lan guage, · reduce the number of facul ty in these areas , -and offer a smattering of courses in each to those students who 'd like to accrue some, but limi ted, knowl edge of these fields? The Humanities , cowering in the face of such intimidating objectivity, covered their eyes and prepared to slink quietly out th e back door. All right , I had face d Facts. I also rem ained con vi nced th at som ething was terribly wrong. Que~tions still nagged at me. Wh at happens if national trends shift (as economic researchers and employm ent an alysts predi ct they will) and students di scover a revived interest and "practicality " in the Liberal Arts? If the majors are eliminated and the number of facult y reduced , won't the num be t of upper-level courses offered in these areas he so small that the likelihood of obtaining a minor , or· even gaining any knowledge beyond mere introduction, will be virtually eliminated as well? Is it wise to evaluate learning in terms of cost efficiency? ls it prudent to aban don, with such apparent ease , dedication to a tradition that has formed the very bedrock of the College itself? Other things continue to disturb ine despite Facts. I recall the intense debates I have witnessed between engrossed philosophy majors who argued passionately, insightfully, about issues that were rooted in the very core of our cultural traditions and beliefs. l n..'C:all theatre arts majors preparing for a new show, spending hours upon hours each day for three o r four weeks learning lines , sewing costumes , building sets, talking and thinking and breathing theatre. And I marvel that anyone can speak of thesl' ex-. periences in terms of cost efficiency. Th e Facts have not convinced me; I remain a convert to the· end . This•is ' "H-' ca~e wh en the Facts cannot speak alon e for them\l·l ves . a •••••••• Parrish Ha ll 16 S. Rin·r ~1.

Haggerty, Jr. The recent visit by Vice President George Bush to W estern Europe has once again swung the pol iti cal spotlight back to the iss ues of intermediate nuclear weapons, the nuclear freeze, and our relationship wi th our NATO allies . These criti cal issues which are still in need of resolution, and , as such , are politicall y co ntroversial on both sides of th e Atlantic. Yet , it is our hope th at .Bush ' s visit will in the long run swing support back behind the United States and its plans for veri fiable arms reduction in the Eur· , opean Theater. This would result in a reunification of the NATO alliance and the subsequent safe guarding of European peace. The actions of the Soviet Union in Europe have clearly shown the lack of sincerity exercised by the Russian leadership concerning arms control. President Reagan has continually proposed the ' zero option,' which would cancel U.S. Pershing II and cruise missiles in Europe in exchange for Soviet elimination of their SS-20 intermediate· range fo rce. The ' zero option ' would , th erdnre , leave no intermedi atl' range missile left in Europe.

Ma x ,, ,. �Fehruary 11, 1983, T h e Beacon, Page 11 the final score_ Rowlette Sidelined By Injury by Chris Baron Last Sunday the National Football League held its annual Pro Bowl. The League should rename this game the '' Wh o Cares Bowl. ' ' The game , which· takes place one week after the Super Bowl , usually J ails to generate m uch interest . The reason for this is that the game is a letdown aftei1he media h ype and excitement of the Super Bowl. Other pro sports like baseball and basketball hold their All-Star games duri ng thei r regular seasons. This type of arrangem ent is obviousl y impossible wh en it is applied to football. The chance of in jury makes it impractical to hold th e Pro Bowl during the NFL ' s season. Other sugge~rions for stimulating interest in the game have surfac:ed from time to time. One idea is to have the game played on the Sunday prior to th e Super Bowl. This day does not have an y football and the television is usually filled with car raci ng or golf. This year , with the strike abbreviated season , the idea would be impossible , but during a normal season the notion of having the Pro Bowl on the empty Sunday before the big game is an excellent suggestion . Obviously , the All -Pro selections who would be preparing for the cham pionship game wou ld not be able to play. As it stands now man y of these players fail to show up after playi ng in the Super Bowl. Not having Super Bowl -bound A ll Pros playing in the game is the only drawback to this plan. O n the other hand , there are many advantages to playi ng the game on the Sun day before the Super Bowl. Fi rst of-.all, the interest in football would be at its peak during this time. Anot her pl us is that the players would still be in ~od ph ysical condition . W ith the prese nt ar- rangement , most of the players must wait at least five weeks after the end of the regular season before playing in the All-Pro Gathering. The All -Pro selections from the two Super Bowl teams coul d be present at the game and be introduced .along with the other All Stars. H avi ng Super Bowl-bound players would give the medi a a golden opriort un ity to get more pre-Super Bowl publicity and in t urn make the game more interest ing for the fans. Television rati ngs would improve along with profi ts for bot h the networks and the league . I can 't understand wh y the league hasn 't adopted th is plan since there is obviously more money to be gai ned by ever yone. The NFL has kicked around the idea of movi ng the Pro Bowl to the empt y Sunday before the Big game for years. If the league adopts th is plan, they rnuld raise their A ll Star event to the status wh ich baseball 's m id-summer cla,sic- enjoys. T he Pro Bowl ocserves more than the " H o-Hum " stat ure which the present arrangement provides .

Those were senti ments of Colonel Head Basket.ball Coach Jim Atherton after his team lost their second straight. Prior to the two game slide Wilkes had reeled off four victories in a row. , Last Wednesday,~ the Colonel Cagers were as high as a kite_ They had just beaten Susquehanna University in a heart -stopping overtime contest. Going into the game Wilkes was putting a three ga.me winning streak on the line. , 1 The Crusaders were 7-3 in Middle Atlantic Conference play and hl'ld a slim lead over the Colonels throul(hout most of the contest. Susqt;ehanna had a 27 -24 adva11t al(<' at the soda break. , Using a tough man -to -man d~ fense. the Colonels were abil' tn stav dose during the second sti1i'.i 1:1 .

Susquehanna failed to convert and the Colonels got a chance to end the game in regulation when Greg Hychko went to the line for a oneand-one attempt with just three seconds left on the South Franklin Street Gym scoreboard . The Crusaders called two timeouts to give Hychko a chance to think about the shot. The strategy paid off when Hychko missed and sent the contest into an extra period. Susquehan·na froze the ball until they missed a shot with l : 28 remaining. Wilkes played for the last shot and with eight seconds on the clock Sheaffer found Yakobitis underneath for the winning hoop. . Yakobitis had 18 points, while She-affer poured in 15. On Saturday, Wilkes took its , hnw on th e road to Lycoming. The · Cnlonels' four game bubble broke 11· hen they dropped the contest 60'l 7. After a 28-27 halftime lead Wilkes let the slim ·1ead sli p away'. Sheaffer 's 22 points were not l'noug h to keep the Colonels' ma chine rolling. The loss dropped Wilkes 5_- 7 going into Monday 's game agamst non -conference Muh lenberg College. In t hC' first half, the Colonels m;ide it 1,K ,k t':tsy and at one pnill! in the opening stanza Wilkes had a 15 point lead. Muhlenberg began to control the boards and cut the Colonels' lead to five at intermission. Muhlenberg tied the contest at 39 half way through the second period. With 7 : 3 2 left, they went ahead 44 -41. Muhlenberg pulled -away and coasted. to a 63-55 win. The Muhlenberg squad taught the Colonels a lesson in how to hold a lead by controlling the ball and tak ing the good shots, something Wilkes has only been able to master a few times this season. The Colonels have an overall record of 7-10, while th ev remain 5-7 in MAC competition. Fresh man Guard Jim Rodwav had l '5 points for the Colonels and Sheaffer registered a team high of 18. Radway said, "We've got to put consistency hack into our game. if we are going to have. any chan c,· at the MAC ' s (Playoffs)." Coach Atheron agreed with hi, playe rs when he said that the Clll onels must win their last I hree MAC games if they arc to have an v chan ce at the playoffs .

Barre, Gore and D ana Halls have been earmarked for sale or demolition since their closings , a.id Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of manage, ment, reported that the bui ldi ngs will meet their fat es in the near future . Barre The administration has announc ed that it will accept an offer from a local agency for the option on Barre Hall. American Reality offered the school the bid whi ch has been approved. It is estimated that the school will receive approximately $100,000 for the property. Shaw explai ned that at the pres· ent time , the school is planning to go to the city zoning board to ask for a " variance" in the zoning regu lation s for the Barre property th at wi ll allow th e_parking a~rangement Gore and Dana Th e demolitions of Gore and Dana are set for sometime this sum mer. Shaw reported that the Gore lot . will -be used for much neede parking space. "The areas on this cam pus which need parki ng space. \uch as the gym and the Center for th e Performing Arts, aren 't near parking lots," said Shaw. " The Gore land will enable us to have parking close to the gym.'' The property on which Dana is located will not be made into parking but , simply landscaped . Shaw estimated that the demo- lition will cost anywhere from $15 , 000 to $20 ,000 per building . He also repo rted that the school will salvage as much as possible from the bu iIdings to he! p defer the costs of having the buildings torn down . - • According to Shaw , the present regulations fo r that land state that parking must be a specified distance from neighboring property. Ameri - ca Realty has plans to renovate Barre Hall into a luxury apartment buildi ng, but their plan for parking vi ol:ltes the present zoning rul es. If the zon ing board agrees to the plan which the school will present, the sale will be finalized . Shaw -stated that the money received from the sale will be in the form of a non -recu rring receipt and is pure capital. Therefore, it will be used for some of the College's " capital needs. " Ideas include _ that the proceeds co uld be used to defease the bonds issued to assist in the construction of Founders H all.

And of course it must be difficult to clear all of the parking areas on campus of snow before students arrive early Monday morning for classes. But commuting students who arrived early for classes last Monday were greeted with an awesome snow and ice obstacle course in the College's parking areas . On dry, clear days the parking areas reserved for commuting students (or , for that matter, any lot on campus) are not noted for abundant elbow (fender? ) room ; even on fine days the lots, packed tightly with cars that seem unable to constrain themselves within the drawn wh ite parking lines , _pose a challenge for the student driver hurrying to make an early class . But on winter post-storm days, when the lots are crusted over with snow and ice like fields lain fallow for the wintertime, the challenge becomes more of an open-lipped jeer. One hears students joking , after their cars have done consecutive twistings and turnings in the icy parking lots,.. that their cars were once againturningto find Mecca in the morning light. Students splinter parking lot gates in their efforts to stop before them on icy entranceways, and more than one parked car bears the battle scars of Wi lkes winter parking maneuvers. Perh aps we can work on getting the lots cleared early when the next snow storm inevitably strikes? Student Center Board Grateful For Wide-Screen Th e recent acqui sition of the wide screen television and video recorder has prompted us to write this thank you letter. The Student Center Board has attempted to purchase a wide screen t.v . for the past four years but until recently , was unable to do so due to the cost restrictions of such an expensive piece of equipment. Late last spring the idea occurred to us to ask other campus organizations to aid us financially in attaining this goal. The response from our inquires was overwhelming and this generous support has enabled us to purchase the wide -screen and video recorder. It was trul y a team effort on the part of the following organizations: Student G overnment , Commuter Co un cil , Int er -Res ide nce H all Council, Classes of 82 , 83 , 84, and 85 as well as th e Student Cen ter Board. T his acqui si tion has opened up · a totally new avenue in relation to programming at the Student Cent er. So me of the more recent programs including Poltergeist , Rocky I. II , a!1d III and M -TV on Sunday · evenings. Many more activiti es are planned for the spring which will include a party for the last M .A .S.H . episode as well as vari ous recent films. Thanks again CC, IRHC, Classes of 82, 83, 84, and 85 and a very special thanks to SG for making the wide-screen tv a reality . There is a most bitter and dis couraging problem currently infesting the qualit y of the academi c program here at Wilkes College . This problem nas aroused the at tention of many people on the cam pus who are aware of the ultimate con sequen ces which thi s difficulty is capable of bringing both to the college itself as well as to the qual ity of the student academic programs. This m ajor problem con fronting the respectable atmosphere at Wilkes College is th e school's cu rrent policy of tenuring profes sors . Wilkes College 's cu rrent tenure policy involves a series of steps. First of all , each tenured facult y mem ber of t he di scipli ne whi ch : he professor bei ng considered fo r ten ure teaches, will make a recommen dation to his or her department ch airperson stating whether to keep or release the specific professor . This is mainly done through the creation of a departmental review committee which consists of at least three tenured facul ty mem bers. Taking this recommendation into consideration, the depart ment chairperso n will then make a separate recommendation to the Tenure and Promotion Committee which consists of six ten ured fac ulry mem bers fro m within th e college. This comm ittee will , along with th e Dean of Academ ic Affairs, m ake a recom mendation to the President of th e college. The Presi dent m ust finally make hi s o wn rec ommen da tion to the sc hool 's Board of Trustees. T he decision of tenure is perh aps the most difficu lt one whi ch a president will eve r be fo rc('d to make. Ultim ately, it is the H, ,arJ of Trustees whi ch will ren de r rh e fin al decisi on in the mat ter. It is apparent that something has been overlooked in this entire process . This missing link is the overall feelings of the student population. In this entire process of tenuring professors there is no con sideration of how the students of t_h e college feel about granting or Club President Cites Tenure Policy As College's Central Problem denvi ng t he professor tenure. The ir)terests of the students are simply not being registered. There is also presently no plan to allow student cont, ibutions toward the process of removing tenured professors un der the new Tenure Track II, no r is there any peer group specifically designed to review student petitions concern ing the performance of profe_ssors and instructors. It is recognized t hat a course evaluation is condu cted each sem ester in almost all t he classes. H owever , th is survey is not adequ ate to judge th e professo r 's overall per form ance and effectiven ess and is not intended primarily for th e ten ure process . Students can be directly affected by whether a par ticu lar professor is_ granted or de n ied tenure. This is especiall y true fo r those students who are majoring in a di scipl ine in whi ch a well-qu alified professor h as not been granted tenure . Thi s situ ation co uld very well affect the fut ure aca demic success of these stu dents . Since it is the students who through tuition , pay the salaries of th e professors, it is then the stu dents who must rightfully play an important role in the tenure process in order to safeguard against the possibility of decisions that do not consider all pertinent interests. In order to have student involvement within this process , I believe there should first be created a standing committee, the Student Advis ory Board on T enure , within the student government at Wilkes College. This committee will serve three purposes : 1) to rev iew ca n didat es he ing considered for tenure . 2) to review tenured faculty mem bers wh o are being con sidered for rem oval, and 3) to respond to petitions from st udent s concern ing th e conduct of an y professor . Th is board should con sist of three mem bers from the student governm ent itself as well as fo ur ot her st udent members to be chose n from the can did.a te professo r' s discipline. Sel- , ection of these four members sho ul d be m ade by the standing student ad vi sory board m em be rs. O nce assem bled, this board should begin at on ce a survey of students in the courses relevant to the professor's discipline, finding out the overall attitudes of these students toward the performance of the candidate professor. Once the survey is over; the results should then be tabulated and the board members should meet to discuss their findings. From the overall results, a solid recommenda tion should then be forwarded to the school's Board of Trustees. This recommendation sho uld be an integral part of the entire tenure process. It must be stressed that if the idea of ever having a student ad vi sory board on tenure is to accept ed, t hen it shall be the responsibility of students alone to decide whether or not t hi s board has actu - ,.... ally been loo ked upon as being a legitimate means in the en ti re tenure process . For if it has not . then it is perh;1ps inevita ble t hatt his growt h of disillusionment could very well lead to ser ious enrollment and finan ciaf problems fo r th e college.

Vegetarians _ put up with th e daily frustrati on of seeking meatless meals while work ing away from home. Lunchtime in the school , office , or facto ry to the vegeatarian is usually greeted with jeers and funny expressions from fellow workers or classmates towards meatless meals. As the years pass by, the vegetarian can actually begin to wonder if he or she is the only one in the world who refuses to eat meat or to wear leather products. Connie Ring and Pat Bullford, two local vegetarians who have decided to_take action concerning their strong feelings about animals, ha,·(· form ed a group called Justi ce for Animals .

You, and many of your friends from the Jockey Club, are wiped out , and you begin to wonder how you got into this mess. What to do? Your office is on the 40th floor , but . .. Sorry , time 's up. This hypothetical situation is only a little exaggerated. It shows one side of a serious problem , the internati onal debt crisis, whi ch th e United States and other leading in dust ria! powers are franti call y trying to correct. In th e next few days . th e International Moneta ry Fuod nations, will begin to implement part of a plan th at will avert, or maybe just postpone, the collapse of several major finan cial institutions in the northern hemisphere. If · these measures fail , the growing weight of the cri sis could conceivably shatter th e vulnerabl e intern ational hanking system ,ind . ove rn i nh , nl11 ns•<' th e wor!.:i int o :• depression th at one economi st has said "wo uld make th e 19 .'30 's loo k like kindergarten ." The world took three decades to slip into this dilemma, and it will need at least as long to safel y crawl back out. For a long time , loans to developing nations were a relatively safe bet. Following WWII , the United States, with one of the few functionin g industrial socities left in the world (and by far the strongest), began pouring its massive cash reserves, in the form of free aid, into developing nations ( as well as shattered Europe). This allowed the world to purchase the surplus bounty of the vigorous American economy and permitted the United States to establish political and military influence on a global basis. Business was booming, and everyone could pay off loans on schedule . During the 1960's and early 1970 's however, changes in the world's econom y and aid-gi ving strategies slowed development , and by 19 72. Th ird World debt began to mount. But as U.S. investment and aid bega n to slow, banks cont inued to ~···············-·······················~---~---··················•·· lend massive amounts to the same regi on . Between 1975 and 1980. total investment in U.S. dollars to developing regi ons averaged $13 billion annuall y, but total loans expanded from $150 billion in 197 5 to $64 0 billion in 1982. Th e bulk of these loans were made to Latin Ameri can co untries , such as Argentina , Brazil , and M exico. Th ese, coincidentally, are th e same nati ons now in th e most dire econ . omi c strai ts. The credit should have been used for the development of these foreign economi es, but a world -wide reces sion and sharp increases in oil prices aborted much of the progress . Most of these countries have been net im porters of U.S. products and . thPre fore. have had a 1x1or halancL of trade . Th is effects not on Iv t ilere ability to pull th emse lves out oi debt, but also hurts the American economy by restricting outlets for our goods. But even as these problems have arisen , banks have continued to pour credit into countries which were deperate for cash to pay off debts and to prop up faltering econ omies. The incentive for greater •profits blinded the bankers to the mounting crisis. Private Ameri can and European banks now have more than $ 700 billion (roughly three times our projected national defi cit for 1984) sunk into developing and Soviet-aligned nations, and man y of th ese sovereign states will not be able to begin paying hack principal for most of this decade . The v are instead borrowing addit ional money just in order to pay off th e annual interest. Because th e world of intern ati o11al fin ance and trade is so interdep endent , the position of man y major banmks is extremely precari ous. If one smaller institution refused to renegoti ate an outstanding loan to a foreign go vernment, it could cause a default, whi ch in turn could ca use a run on other banks with loans to the same government ,- and the disaster we've all been waiting for would be upon us. With no strong recovery in sight for the world's economy , it is now apparent that strong medicine must be swallowed somewhere. A major report was recently released by the Brandt Commission , an international committee formed exclusively to study the debt problem, and its findings stated that ''Further decline (in t.he world economy) is likely to cause the disintegration of · societies and create conditions of anarchy in many parts of the world.'' The commission recom mf'nderl sul ;~.antial incn·ases in aid to· developing nations and significant restructuring of the debt. The Congress is now considering a request from the president to increase the U .S. contribution to the IMF by 50 percent. Man y Democrats and Republi ca ns alike are opposed to the idea of bailing out th e banks , but at this stage there are few opti <;> ns. (One representative suggested a neutron bomb solu tion : eliminate th e bankers but leave the institutions standing ). An old banking maxim says that if vo u owe the hank $ 1000 , yo u ' re at the bank's mercy. but if ·yo u owe the bank $ 1;000 ,000 , the bank is at yo ur mercy. If t he lending ban ks · and nations hope to recover an y of their billions in the present cri sis, th e banks , th e IMF, and the developed nations must continue to keep the troubled world-econmy afloat. · But if addition al loans are to have an impact, a change must be made in the credit-giving strategies from this point on, and the U .S. government, which is the largest contribut or to the IMF , must lead th e way. Poor nations buried in debt must have their repayment sched tiles stretched over a period of at least 20 years and they must be given greatly reduced interest rates. Several detailed proposals along these lines have been made by econ omists and politicians , but now need to be incorporated into the deals being arranged by the IMF. Th is strategy will cost the banks some profits, but it will give the ' Third World considerable breathing room and the incentive to make real improvements to their intern al economies . If the old strategy is followed , and countri es like M exico and Argentina are simpl y push ed furth er into hopeless debt. then th e disaster rea lly has been merel v post -poned . · --------------.

Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. The biggest power struggle in Washington recently has been and still is the continuing saga of Anne Gorsuch vs. The House of Repre sentatives . For those of you who missed this unfolding drama, here is a little background on the situation. The House of Representatives, in early December, asked the Environmental Protection Agency to turn over several docu ments pertaining to the EPA 's adminstration of Superfund money. The Superfund is, of course, the multi-billion dollar fund which Congress set up to clean up hazardous waste sites across the country. Anne Gorsuch, director of the EPA, was instructed by President Reagan not to turn over the docu- ments to the House, on the basis of executive privilege. This perturbed several members of the House who thereafter passed legislation subpoenaing these documents and several officials of the EPA . Gorsuch showed up on Capitol Hill in compliance with .the subpoena, but alas, she brought no documents. On December 16, the House voted to cite Gorsuch for contempt of Congress, since she still refused to present the documents. In the past week or so, these irate members received quite a fright when paper shredders were moved into the EPA offices. The House . warned the EPA of the severe pen alties it could impose if the documents were destroyed, but the threat was squelched by EPA spokesman Dick Hoffman with the Quote of the Week. Hoffman ad- mitted that while the originals were safe, copies were being shr.edded ''to keep them from blowing out of the trash bin into the parking lot." Humorous though it was, this comment downplayed the seriousness of this political issue . What makes this issue so vital is that it is a classic constitutional struggle between the executive and the legisl.ative branches. The contents· of the documents·, good or bad , are really immaterial. The question is if Congress has the power to subpoena executive documents. We think not. No con stitutional justifit ation can be found to support the contention · of the House in holding the executive branch members in contempt. The president, as chief of the branch, is equal, not subservient. to Congress, a fact which makes executive privileges justifiable. There is also a sound historical basis for this belief. Executive privilegehas been used by many presidents throughout the history of our nation. Andrew Jackson, the first truly strong president, encountered in 1833 a situation similar to the current stru_ggle. The Senate had called upon Jackson to turn over documents which he had presented to his Cabinent. Jackson denied the request, claiming that ''the executive is a co-ordinate and independent branch of govern ment equal with the Senate, and I have yet to learn under what constitutional authority that branch of legislature has a right to require of . me an account of any communication , either verbally or in writin~, made to the heads of Departments. ' Senator Henry Oay passed through the Senate several resolutions cen suring Jackson for his actions. Despite all the pressure of the Senate, the disappointed Congress never received the documents it wanted. This is one historical event we hope repeats itself. Any comments or criticisms are welcome. Please write to us at The Beacon. The word bonfire has a very ; very strange origin. Originally, the word was bonefires because the fire was made by burning human corpses. In the Middle Ages· the victims of war or plague wer~ too nu~erous to be buried individually. Their bones were burned in a huge fire. · �Page 6, TR'e Bea~bn, February 18, 1983 Pro-Choice . '' Th e abortion iss ue has become a major fac tor in political elections : it has seri<•1s!y affected inter-religious relati nships; and it is posing a threat to the basic principles of the United States Constitut ion.'' So states a doc ument ent itled " The Abortion Rights Cri sis ," which is distributed by the Religious Coalition for Abortion Ri ghts. In it, and in other sources sympa thetic to the Pro-Choice standpoint . is defended the 197 3 Supreme Court decision that has since virtuall v legalized abortion in the U.S. A·s these groups believe , the intention of Pro-Life advocates is to introduce ~' human life" amendments to the U.S. Const itution , such as "every hu ni ·1.n bei ng . .. shall be entitled to the ight of life.''"-' Another declares, sa 1 '' pro-choicers , '' that the word " person" as used in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendm ents applies "to all human beings, including th eir unborn offspri ng at every stage of biological _development. The most serious ramification of the passage of such an amendm ent, says the Coali tion, would be its in fringement on the First Amendment principles of separation of ch urch and state. It maintains that ''to place into the Constitution one theological definitio n concern ing the begin ning of life wo uld compel every citizen to accept that doctrine , even if it confl icts with the theology of his or her own religion." Pro-Choice advocates see the implications of such an amendm ent as far- reaching. Any amendm ent that makes a fet us a "person" with full Constitution ,il rights would "throw whole areas of law into chaos.'' But wh at Pro-Choice groups seem to see as one of the more ti istressing of the ram ifications of such antiabort ion ru lings is the possible prohibition of the IUD and of birth con trol pills , two of the most effective of birth control methods . Both contracept ives sometimes prevent implantation of a fertilized ·ovum -which under t he amendm ent would be considered a person . "In Australia, which recently passed an abortion law defining embryos and fetuses as children, " writes the Coalition, "the IUD had been defined as a murder weapon and its use is a criminal act.'' ActordiH jf to Zero Population Growth, whjch defines itself as a national, rion-profit membership organization ·which advocates U.S. and world pci'pulation stabilization. most Amer'i.aans believe the choice to have an aWortion should be left to a woman an.<l'her doctor. Writes the organization : '' These ma1orit1es have varied in si ze from poll to poll : Knight-Ridder Newspapers 1/76, 81%; Times -CBS 10/77 , 74 %; Yankelovich 11/ 77, 64%. Gallup polls in 19 7') an d 1977 found that three-fourt hs of Americans approve of legal abortion under some or all circumstances ... In addition, Zero Population Growth mai ntains that when and where aboriton is prohibited, it is performed ,ih defiance of the law -usually at higher risk to the woman: ''Before states began to legalize abortion iri the 1960s, estimate, of illegal ·a.bortions in the U.S. ranged from ·2 00,000 to 1.2 million a year.

ProFamily Pro-Life Resource Center th at gives " lobbying 'aavi ce " t< i th ose· interested in the organi w tinn 's 2oals. reads : Remember these facts as you carry the Pro-Life message: 1. The bottom line is to educate the voting citizen so he will vote ·only for those who are Pro-Life. 2. The Supreme Court declared in its January 22, 1973 decision that it is LEGAL to abort a bahy up to the momen t uf birth '. 3. Don't waste time on dedicated pro-abortionists. Y our arguments probably won't sw ay them. 4 . Understand the "word trap": Don't use "fetus," use un born baby; don't use "terminat ing the pregnancy," use abortin&,_ or killing the baby"; do1i1t use "saline so lution," use "salt poisoning"; don't use "right to choose," use "right to choose to kill the baby"; don't use "proch o ice," use "pro-abo rtion." T o this type of lobbying advi ce of.I th e par.t of the Right-To-Life movement , the Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion responds with the " pro-choice" rebuttal in a pro and con argument fo rm : As to the Use of the term "proabortion" to refer to those who support legal abortion rights: "We do not recommend abortion; we support the right to choose legal abortion. We are for reproductive freedom: no one should be forced to have an abortion, and no one should be - forced to have a baby. To the statement, if you believe abortion is morally wrong, you are obligated to work for the passage of a "human life" amendm c n t to the Constitution : ·'Ma cv peopli· who are personally opposed to abortion .. . believe i1 is wrong to impOSt, their re ligious or moral be l ids on others." • To t he statement, The Supreme Court ruled that aborion on demand is leg al for the entire no m months of pregn ancy: "The Court d id n ot gi ve women "abortion orl demand"; it must be a decision betwee n a w oman and her doctor. The states may prohibit abortion in the third trimester except to preserve' the life .or health of the woman. In actual practice, abortions are rarely, if ever, performed af1er viabi-lity of the fetus." To the idea, She had hei: fun, now let her pay for it. If you have sex, you should expect to get pregnant and pay the consequences : "This vindictive, selfrighteo us attitude shows scorn fo r women and a feeling that sex is bad and must be punished. Mot h erhood should never be fo rced on women as a punish ment for havin g sex . Forcing a child to be born as a punishment to its mother is the ulitmate in ch ild abuse. Punishing the man is never men tioned . To the statement, Women migh t not bother with contraception beca use abortion is easily available : "Few women prefer an operation to other forms of birth control." To the statement, A.bort-icw -i s not the safe and simple procedure we're told it is-: " Before the 1973 Supreme Court rulings, illegal abortion was the leading cause of maternal death a nd mutilation, In 1976, the death rate from legal first trimester abortion was 1 per 100,000 abortions. The death rate from childbirth was 11.8 (DHEW statistics). To the idea, Rape: pregnancy rarely occurs from rape because of the woman's emotions. And rape victims can get treatment to prevent pregnancy : "Pregnancy can occur from any act of intercourse during a woman's fertile days, regardless of her emotions. Once the sperm and egg have united, ... any treatme~t is an abortion ." --------Abortio1J by Donna Nitka T here are several abortion methods in use toda y. T he particular met hod chosen to terminate a pregnancy ·is based on the number of elapsed weeks of gestation. Vacu um aspiration is a method used for pregnancies of less than 10-wee ks gestation. A suction cat heter , attached to a small suction pump , is used to remove the '' products of conception.'' The process takes approximately fi ve min utes. Possible side effects · in- .elude mild cramping and minimal bleeding. Dilation and Curettage is a method that may be employed for pregnancies of less than 12-weeks gestation. In this process , the patient's cervix is dilated and a curet is inserted into the uterus. The "products of conception" are then scraped from the uterine wall. Possible side effects include cramping and minimal bleedi ng. Prostaglandin may be employed fo r cases of late first trimester or serond tri mester abortions. T his The Abo,:· Ten Years C T his year marks the tenth anniversary o f the Supreme Court decision (discussed below) th at had as one of its consequences the virtual legalization of abortion t h roug h o ut the United States. Tho ugh t h e decision was lauded as a "victory" for ProChoice gro ups across t he nation, anti-abort ion factions began a ren ewed campaign to ma ke abo rtion, of any type, illegal in the U.S. T hose citizens residing in Pennsylvania a re not excluded from the idealogical battle-~ a battle that often turns ugly when factions on either side of the abortion question allow passion or prejudice to turn co mmi t t men t into obstinacy or proud self-righteousness. Recently, a group of Pennsylvanians, committed to the ProLife Movement, marched in Washington, D.C. and vehemently protested the Supreme Court decision of a decade past. Anti-abortion billboards have sprouted along the Valley's m,1jor roadway,, and :"c,il The Pro-Choice proponents have been active in the Valley as well, making available literature from such groups as Zero Population Growth, the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, and the Westchester A Man's Point Of View_ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ by Christopher Baron At the outset let me say that lam not about to make a statement a, to the morality of abortion. The question of abortion can be compared to the argument over the existence of a God. We have all spent sleepless nights arguing whether or not a supreme , all-powerfull , allloving being actually exists. Usually the heated discussion end~ with neither side having changed their opinion. 'Ne can continue to debate the rightness or wrongness of abortion , but most of the people in volved will remain on their respect ive side of the fence . The real argu ment lies in the question of whethr·r or not abortion should remain as a legal alternative to childbirth . l.1~gally or illegally abortion has been around for longer than most of us :would like to admit. Obviously, when abortion becomes an alternative to childbirth it is an unfortunate situation. The decision of whether or not to have an abortion places a great deal of pressure on the female and . usually . the male who is involved . Should men . have some type of legal input into the question of whether or not their mate should have an abortion? Men are in a precarious situation. After al( they are 50 percent responsible for the conception of the fetus . but when it comes down to the final decision they have no legal say in the matter. If a woman wants an abortion she can have it performed without the permission of the man who is or thinks he is the father . It would seem only fair that the man have a legal right to some type of in fluence in the abortion decision . •· Mos't of the men I havc.- talked 1,, are strongly against abortioh . They offer the same anti -alxirtion arguments as most other pro -life supporters . I heard statements like, "It's outright murder, " or "A woman has no right to take the life of another human being." I must add that most of these men have never been faced with the prospect of fath erhood. It is easy for men to si t high on their thrones and depl ore abortion . After all, they are not the gender which ha~ been blessed with the tas k of bearing young. This arrangement in itself is not fair. The foll owing secenario may seem far fet ched. but try to pi cture it. All other historical factors 1,-main the same with the exception that both males and fem~les can give birth . If this were the cast·. abortion would have been legalizetl 250 vears ago . The "almi,1!htv :·. male ·gender would have seen noth - ing "wrong" with fetal termi na tion. If abortion was outlawed tumor row. the situation would not chang<' much . We would still have the car-• ing mal e who is willing to make a total commi tment to his mate and un born child . We would still have the man who refuses to get involv- ~ ed in the fut ·ure of his chi Id and · challenges his mate to prove · him responsi ble. Most im portant . we would still have abortions, but they would be performed in dark back rooms under deplorable life-threat ening conditions. In most situations the male in volved has an opportunity to offer an alternative to abortion. Rarely is a man involved in a situation where he cannot influence the decision of his mate. I'm not talking about him screaming ' ' this is _wrong" white still being unwilling' t~i totally c~mmit himself to th<' woman and child.

Pro-Life • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• by Donna Nitka T he · pro-life movem ent is a ' 'grassroots" effort com posed of local chapters across the coun try. Chapters band togeth er to fo rm regional and state organizations to act in a unified manner at the state level. Each of the state organizations elects one representative to the National Right to Life Commit tt e . This committee , th e largest pro-life organization on the national level, works for the adoption of prolife legislation , educates the public on the abortion issue and provides a variet y of other services to the right-to-life movement. . The pro 0life stand on the issue of abort ion is a simple one: abortion is wrong because it takes the life of a living human individual . They believe that, from the moment of conception , a unique, living human individual is created. In support of th is view, they offer an outline of fetal development similar to the foll owing: By the end of the first month of prenancy, both the brain and hea rt are functionin g. Most of the intern al organs are fun ctionin g by the end of the eighth -week of developmen t. By the en d of the third month, the child is capable of various movemen ts. H e can ki ck , make a fist , turn his head , open and close his mouth and suck his thum b. Th ey note that by th e mid-po int in the pregn ancy , the baby has developed most of th e characteri stics he will show after birth . Pro-, life advocates maintain th at the changes that occur between im plantation, an embryo, a fetus, a child an d an adult are merely stages of deve lopm e!)t and m aturation. Proponents of strict abo rtion laws also refer to the legal status of the unborn child when arguing for its right to life. They ci te specific cases in the United States in which unbo rn children have sued and been awarded damages for injuries sus tained in aut o accidents and have inherited propert y. The Declaration of the Ri ghts of th e Child of the Un ited N ations supports th ei r arg ument in its statement that " the child, by reason of his ph ysical and mental immaturit y, needs special safeg uards and care , including appropriate . legal protection, before as well as after birth .' ' The main objection raised against the pro-life movement by the mem bers of the pro-choice movement is that a woman has the right to det ermine what she does with her own body . If she wants an abortion , she should be abl e to get an abort ion . Pro-lifers feel th at although a woman ha~ cPrtain ri ghts, she is limited in wh at she can do to her own body. T o support this view th ey note that the laws forbidding self-mutilation and suicide clea rl y place limits on a person' s right to do as she wishes with her body. They furth er note that the woman ultimately has the ri gh t , and ability, to determi ne wh ether or not she will become pregn ant. They mai ntain that once a wom an becomes pregnan t, it is no longer her body al one. This arg um ent , in t urn , rai ses an other objection: what abo ut pregnan cies resulting from rape? Surely the woman didn 't choose to become pregnant as a res ul t of being raped . P ro-life advocates note th at pregnancies resul ting from rape are so rare that th ey are practically non existent. There are several reasons fo r this. In addition to the odds against pregnancy resultin g from a single ran dom act, research indi cates that women exposed to the emotion al traum a of rape do not ovulate. Th e rape itself acts as a type of '' psyc hological birth con- trol. " Also, prompt medical att ent ion wo uld prevent the chance of pregnancy . Another common argum ent for abortion is that it is justifi able in cases wh ere th e child would be reta rded or deform ed. Pro -life rs mai ntai n that this line of reason ing is totally un acceptable because it holds th at if life does not measure up to certai n societal standa rds , it should not be continued. They feel th at this totally disregards th e inherent value of hum an life. • ,.., · ' ' The pro-life movement is committed to efforts to provide human solutions to the _probl ems of the de fective child, including continued eth ical research into birth defects, improved treatment fo r the defective child , and support for famili es rai s ing handi ca pped children .'' says literature of the movPnwn t. They also point out th at abo rt ion itself is a cause of birth defects for it increases th e chances of prematurit y in later pregnancies. Pro-lifers st ress the fact that abortion is not just anot her met hod of birth contro l. Whi le contracept ion prevents th e creation of a new life , abo rti on destroys life after it has beg un .

Legal 4nalysis: Roe v. W a d e - - - - - - - - - - by Ellen Van Riper th at an alxirt ion should not tak<' pl acC' he has every right to ofiC'r finan cial assistance during the pregnancv and accept mutual or personal responsibility for the child after ' its birth. Giving the man leg al rights in the decisi on making process should be considered. If men were to get this legal right to stop abo rtion , I doubt they woulc) li ve up to the agreement .. It is one thing to promise responsi bility, but this promise does not guaran tee the fin ancial and personal sac rifices which go int o child rearing . Again , I wo uld like to reiterate . that I am not making 3 j11dgment as to whether abortion is morally right . or wrong. Ahortion should remain as a legal alternative to childbirth . The decision of hav ing or not having an abortion should be a personal decisiu:1 made by the female. and hopdully . the male who are involved and not_,a dei:!sion ma~e J,,y the·, .. courts . The current controversy over th e abortion issue can be traced bac!: to a pair of Supreme Court decisions in 1973 . In the landmark cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton the Court ruled the abortion laws of Texas and Georgia to be , respectively, totally and partially unconstitu tional. Thus, in principle , the Court laid the groundwork for legalized abortion in the United States. . Both of the parties who brought these class actions used fictitious names . Roe -was a single woman from Texas who challenged that state 's law - which prohibited a!l abortions unless the pregnancy would in all likelihood endanger the life or the health of the mother. Doe was a married couple, and they were joined by a licensed phys ician in their challenge to the Georgian abortion law . This state's law -was more modern, for it allowed abortion in three instances: first, if the pregnancy would en danger the life of the expectant woman . or seriously injure her health ; second , if the fetus would in all likelihood be born with a serious and permanent mental. or physical defect; and third, if the pregnancy was the result of forced rape. The majority opinion in both of the cases was written by Justice Harry A . Blackmun , and in both of his opinions it is evident .that the issue wds a matter of resolving the conflicts between the privacy rights of the pregnant woman , which would allow an abortion to take place, and the rights of the state to protect the unborn fetus . Justice Blackmun opened his opinion in the Roe case with an immediate acknowledgement of. the subjectivity of a highly volatile issue. Abortion is an area much bemuddled by contrasting and con, flicting moral, philosophical , and religious views. According to Blackmun, the Court attempted to present a decision as objectively as is humanly possible . The following is a summary of the major points of the Roe opin ion: 1. Even though the Constitution does not explicitly mention a right of privacy , the Court has in past cases recognized that such rights to personal privacy do exist under the Constitution . These prec edents dealt with the issues of mar riage, procreation , contraception, family relati onships , and child rearing and education. In th e opinion of the Court these right s to personal privacy extend to a worn · an 's decision of whether or not to terminate her pregnancy . 2. The opinion outlines a number of valid reasons which can justify the decision to abort : the possibilty of harm or death to the moth er and/ or the likelihood that the fetus . will be born ~rmanel]tl_v defective eithe,r ryJentallr. or ph Y~ ; _, ically ; the possibilit y that mat ern ity or th e addition of another child will force the woman to lead a life of distress, psychological harm ; and the continual stigm a attached to unwed mothers. 3. The unlxi rn fetus cannot he considered a perso n within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment ("No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privleges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, and property , without due process of law , ... etc.). Historically, in regards to the Constitution, the term has been applicable as only meaning postnatally , not prenatally. 4. However, the wom an ' s rights to an abortion are not absolute; the state also has some jurisdiction in the matter. a. "For the stage prio.r to approximatel y , the end of the first trim ester , th e abo rti on decision and its effectu ati on must be left to the the medi cal iudg111 ent of the pregnant woman ·~ attending ph ysician ." b. '' For the stage subsequent to approximately the end of th e first trimester , the State, in promoting its interest in the health of the mother , may, if it chooses , regu·late the abortion procedure in ways that are reasonable related to mat ernal health ." For example, the State may prescribe the qualifications for the licensing of those who inte,~d to perform the procedure.'' c. _" For the stage, ,slll?$equt·n1 . to viability (th e point at wh ich th e fetus then presumabl y has the cap· abilty of meaningful life outside th e mother' s womb) the ·State , in promoting its interst in the potentiality of human life , may , if it chooses. regulate and even prosc ribe abort ion except where it is necessary in appropriate medi c al judgement, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother .'' As a final note, Justice Black mun stated in -the opinion that ' 'The decision leaves the State free to place increasing restrictions on abortion as the period of pregnancy lengthens, so long as those restrictions are tailored to the recognized state interests ." Since the Roe and Doe decisions , the Court has established furth er criteria in regards to abortion . In the easer of Plann ed Parent hood v. Danforth (197(1). the Court · accepted the state of Misso uri 's definition of viabilt y as being " that ,~tage of a fetal d.evelopm ent when the life of the unhorn child may be continued indefinitely out side th e womb bv natural or artificial life support systems. In this case the Court also uph eld a requirement that the pregnant woman must provide written consent prior to th e performance of the abortion . In other cases the Court disallowed a requirement that the husband or spouse provide con sent to the proposed abortion and srrnck down a requirement that par!'ntal coment he obtained hefor<' an abortion is performetl ·on a min11r . �Page 8, The Beacon, February 18, 1983 Tired Of Getting Ripped Off?

They are offe red in cooperation with other colleges and universities. Since 1978 Wilkes has been offering a Weekender Program in cooperat ion with K eystone Junior College in La Plume . The program is designed to allow people who have no time for day or evening classes to attend classes on the weekend. Courses in accounting, anthropology, business administration. communications. economics. history. physics, psychology, and sociology are offered at Keystone. usually held the third weekend of each month . This particular ,program has become popular over the years. John F. Meyers, director of graduate and part -time undergraduate programs at Wilkes . sai the program be_g an with 19 students and half the cour,es . There are five majors . Curr<'ntlv the program has 110 students. Meyers sa id , "That's the highest we ' ve ever had." He also said that there are 350 people attending Keystone's two -yea r program , who plan to eventually obtain their full degree at Wilkes. The average age of these students is 32. Meyers commented that about 50 people have graduate so far. A not her institution affiliated with Wilkes is the Hazleton State General Hospital. This program is offered for Hazleton residents who are interested in taking cou rses at Wilkes College but are not interest ,,d in travel. Courses are offered .in art. history, English, psychology . and sociology. Th e program, t Wll vea rs old, has seen more demand in i he la,t yea r and as a result the courses offered have dou bled. Mev ers said that there arc curn.'.n _ tly i5 to 20 students in each of these classes. He said , "We will use the classrooms provided by the hospit al to facilitate the takin!.! llf cnurses for those in the Hazl; -,,11, area. It gives people the opportunity to ea rn credits without having to trav el to Wilkes ' Barre , during the time of year when the road conditions may be espec ially hazardous ." The students in the Weekender program and the Hazleton program a re taught by Wilkes faculty. Man v of Wilkes ' other affilia tions are with medical schools.

Scientifically Speaking _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Stm Helen's Issue Erupts Mt. by Melissa Meyers On May 18 , 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted. The advent of the eruption afforded scientists a rare opportunity to study volcanic act ivity within the contin ental United States. Mount St. Helens is a strato volcan o, composed of various lay ers of lava, a,h, and rock. Beneath the volcano lies a pool of magma, molten rock heated to nearl y 1000 degrees Celsius. As the magma collects, pressure build,, and is even tually alleviated by eruption . The size and strength of an eruption is dependent upon the amount of pres sure that has bui lt. Thus , the May 18 eruption of Mount St. Helens was at its greatest to date, since nr , sizea ble release of pressure had occured for 123 years. NUMBER9 SHOP 9 W. Northampton St. More than 14 srn·aller ernptions have followed, the most recent taking place on February 2 and 3, 1983. Scientists expect more act ivity before the end of the month, but predicting the volcano's behav ior has proven difficult. Impending eruptions are indi ca ted by several rather unreliable factors. One such factor is the size of the lava dome inside the volcanic crater , which forms and grows as lava pushes out of the interior. ,Certain patterns of expansion are used to predict activities up to two weeks in advance. A more acc urate reading is obtained through the use of seismograph s , instruments wh ich measure tremors beneath the earth's surface. When seismic activity in creases markedly , an eruption could occur within hours. Although scie ntist s have been reasunably successful in their predi ctions, there is still no way to pinpoint eruption times. Don Peterson of the U.S. Geological Survey ad mits, "We have a lot to learn hdore we can issue routinely re liable torecasts. But we 're making progress.'' Currently, seismic activity and release of gases from Mount St. Helens' 700-foot lava dome is pro viding an "escape hatch" for uner lying pressure, preventing any severe eruptions in the near futur e.

The majority of us have not had the good fortune to have played on a Cinderella team. Likewise, most of us have not suffered through one of those history -making losing seasons. Most athletes and teams fall somewhere in the midclle of the best -to-worst continuum. For the most part , sports of any type are an experi ence in sporatic success. Onl y on those rare occasions do the choice few gain not nr i etv through overwhelming success or unbelievable failure . What is lelt for the rest of the at hletes of this world is an effort to achieve that elusive distinction of being t he best .

Whether we're flaying for intramural bragging rights or the number one collegiate footbal ranking, the bottom line is still that slash in the "\\'" coluinn. ,.. · The important thing is that every athlete, of any type or stature must give a total effort if he or she is to gain anything from com petition .

On Wednesday the news came across the Associated Press Wire t hat the Royals h ad been voted the best Division Ill team in the country and that night the Royals lived up to the top billing by pounding Wilkes 77-60 . The Colonels held an early 2822 lead, but lost the advantage by turning the ball over several times . Scranton roared back with eight un· answered points and took the lead for good. The Royals continued with their fast -paced offense in the second half and coasted to their 18th victory a,1:ain,t onlv· three de feats . Scranton sirs alone on top, ,f the MAC North ern Division with an unblemished 11 ·0 record in con ference play. Against Scranton Ri ck Scheaffer scored a team high 19 points whil e Greg Hychko and Tom Al· larrl vce poured in 12 apiece. On Sunday n ight both Rick Sche· :iffer and Ken Yakobitis suffered severe ankle sprains during ·a prac tice session. The two starters were forced to sit out the Colonels' con · test against Bloomsburg on Mon day . In the absence of Scheaffer and Yakobitis, Wilkes suffered their 12th loss of the season 90-69 . T h e Colon els were down 5 1-33 at intermis~inn . Tom Allardyce's game high 22 points did little to he lp the Colonels' cau se in the sec· ond half. Wilkes wo uld never come close to the 1-luskies in the final stanza. The Colonels remain 5-6 in MAC play and are hopi ng that Schaeffer and Yakobitis will be ready for action Saturday when they take on Juniata in an important MAC con tes t. Wilkes, FDU and King's Col lege are all fighting for the secun<l playoff spot in the MAC north east division. Scranton already wrapped up top honors in the conference . FDU stand st he best chance of capturing th e playoff berth. They have an MAC record of 6-4, but still must play Lycoming, Scranton and Wilkes. King 's at 3-7 in MAC play would need three wins whi le hopi ng Wilkes beats FDU and loses to Juniata. King's would also need three losses from FDU in order to force a three -way tie, for the playoff berth .

February 18, 1983, The Beacon, Page 11 Lady Colonels ~ose by Ellen Van Riper Nancy Roberts' lady c;olonels have had a rough time of it as of late with both the schedule and the weather; neither has been very cooperative. Between February 2 and 9 the ladies played four games and came away with but a single victory. The lone triumph was a 65 -64 squeaker over Blomsburg State College on February 7. The three losses were to Susquehanna University, 79 · 71, on February 2; to Lycoming College, 76-74, or. February 5; and to the University of Scranton, 69-67, on February 9. The action from the past two weeks leaves the Lady Cokinels with a 9-7 overall season mark. The Lady · Colonels had been scheduled to host Muhlenberg College on Friday, February 11; but the inclement weather caused the cancellation of the game. When the ladies hosted the Lady Crusaders of Susquehanna on February 2, they faced a team that was then 16-0. The Lady Colonels were eager to place the initial blemish upon that record.

In the end, it was the high shooting percentage of the Lady Crusaders that tilted the scales in their ·favor. Even in defeat the Lady Colonels were able to produce a balanced scoring attack . Freshman Donna Martin scored 19 points to head a group of four Lady Colonels in double figures . Sophomore Charlen e Hurst canned 1 7, junior cctcaptain Kim Smith netted 16, and freshman Michelle Zc woiski tallied 13. The leading rebounder was Kim Smith with 12, and she was supported by freshman Michalene Chernicavages 's eight rebounds. Three days later the ladies travelled with their male counterparts to Williamsport and Lycoming College for a double header. Lycoming is a Middle Atlantic Conference divisional opponent, so the game was an important one for the Lady Colonels. With approximately four minutes left the game appeared won, as the Lady Colonels held a 10 point lead. However, Lycoming came back to tie the score and force an overtime period. During the five minutes overtime, the lead seesawed back and forth . With the final seconds of the period ticking off, a Lycoming player grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed foul shot and laid in the winning basket . This time three Lady Colonels netted double digits. Donna Martin once again led the way, this time with 27 points. Charlene Hurst was close behind with STUDENTS NEED CASH FOR COLLEGE?

They hosted perennial Division II power Bloomsburg and came away with one of their most impressive wins of the season. The game was a battle between the inside muscle of the Lady Huskies and the speed and perimeter shooting ability · of the Lady Colonels. ltg was quite a contrast in styles, and the speedsters prevailed. Four Lady Colonels ripped the cords for double figures, as the team displayed its usual balanced scoring attack. Charlene Hurst and Kim Smith each tallied 16 to lead the way. Donna Martin was not far behind with 15, and Michelle Zowoiski chipped in-10. The top rebounder was once again Kim Smith. This time she had a ·total of 15 ; six offensive and nine defensive. Hurst and Zowoiski each snared seven. The Lady Colonels next travelled to the John Long Center to face the Lady Royals of Scranton. This time the ladies faced a team that was ranked sixth nationally in Division III; and what a game it was. The Lady Colonels gave the Lady Royals quite a run for their money in their backyard, as the game was a close affair through out. In the end , it was a timely steal and critical foul shots by the Lady Royals which cost the Lady Colonels what could have been the most impressive victory of their season. Once again , the ladies had a balanced scoring attack with four pl ayers in double figures. Donna Martin led the way with 21; and she was followed by Michelle Zowoiski with 18; Kim Smith with 16 ; and Charlene Hurst with 10. The top rebounder was Smith with nine.

Presidential Committee Searches For Possible Successors To Capin by Rebecca Whitman A committee including alumni. faculty and a student, along with members of the Board of Trustees has been formed to begin the process of screening possible candidates for the presidency of Wilkes which will be vacated in the spring of 1984. The Presidential Search Commit tee Chairwoman Patricia Davies explained that the committee is ch.arged by the Board of Directors of the College to establish a search fer possible presidential replacem, " ts. They will then present the ca ,' lidates to the Board. Davies reported that the decision on who will ·be the new president is ultim ately in the hands of the board. The Board of Directors serves t'wo major purposes: they control th e financial matters of the College, and when necessary, they are responsi ble for electing a new president. · ''It is very basically, a sea rch and screen process,'' stated Davies. '' The committee wi ll attempt to find one or more candidates to re place President Capin."

Both performances begin at 8 p.m . and are open to the public at no charge. Accomplished actor and play : wright Fendrick becomes the rup led, soft spo ken absent-minded wizard in a script stressing the private man who was Einstein. Usi ng the Einstein letters and manmcripts and drawing upon perS(111al interviews of people who kn ew the man, the play involves the aud ience in intimate con versation, giving in sight as viewers see . the growth of the compassionate man who was consistently fasci nated with the "why?" of things .

Yes , that was the scene last Thursday afternoon when Donna Nitka and I visited Frederick G. Sam, Master Hypnotist. You always laugh at things yo u're afraid of (that 's wh v so many people think dirty jokes are funny) . Before we left the Beacon office, I had told Donna that , if necessary , for the good of journalism and The Beacon, l would let this guy hypnotize me , as long as she promised not to let him make me act like a chicken or something. We had a lot of laughs at my. expense. The photographer said he'd make sure he got it all down on film: "Here's the hypnotist mak ing Becky act like a fl y. Here' s Becky trying to crawl up the wall. Here we all are in the emergency room at General H ospital waitin~ for Bec ky to come our 6f swgery .' I heard it all. Of course, the only reason I suggested that I would be willing to be hypnotized was because I never thought Mr. Sam would do . it. Though I had always wanted to try hypnosis, I had no real idea of what it was like. I assumed people went into a deep zombie-like trance sort of like Night of the Living Dead . · Add to all of this my idea that we would be walking into an office that was painted black with silver woodwork and lots of those weird posters that vibrate when you see them in black light. I think I definit,,ly had hypnosis confused with fortune telling. What Donna and I walked into was your average office, in fact it was painted in what looked like the stan dard issue Wilkes College tooth paste green. I must admit, I was a tad disappointed: Mr. Sam did not look or sound like Boris Karloff. However , when he suggested he hypnotize one or botl:i of us to help us better understand the whole theory of hypnosis, I panicked. When I panic, I laugh or smile a lot, so Mr. Sam probabl y thought I was enchanted with the whole -idea , when in fact I was praying he'd forget the whole thing. After an hour and a half or so of notes (I felt like I was in Hypnosis 101 or something ; the man just kept bringing out reams and reams of notes he must have saved from undergraduate years) , Donna and I were both ready to leave. We were hoping we could sneak out before he remembered his great idea about hypnotizing us . Every time the poor man got up to go into his outer office, we would furtively whisper escape plans. Alas. it was not to be. H e reme1n hered his fi endish pi nt . Being a .~"od friend and !oval compan ion.

As I made every vile gesture I knew at dear Miss Nitka (while smiling nicely at Mr. Sam), he suggested that she take part also. · The look on the chick's face will keep me happy in my old age. .It was that face yo u make when someone tells you that yo u've been walking around all day with your skirt caught in the waistband of your nylons. It was the face you make when you find out that stuff in the refrigerator that you assumed was tuna turns out to be the cat '., , kidney and gizzard surprise . . from the floor, the began. (Mr. Sam said he would call it hypnosi s because that would make us scared . Does the logic of that escape yo u, Telling us what he wasn't going to tell us?) T o my surprise, he didn 't pull out th e proverbial gold watch, nor did he at any point say the classic lines, "You are getting sleeepy, soo sleeeeeepy." All he did was press his thumb into the palms of our hands arid tell us to imagine we had magnets stuck there. Then he had us hold our arms out straight in front of us and close our ews. He then explained that as he cntmt - ed to 10 the magnets wo uld pu ll o ur hands together and we wouldn ·1 be able to stop them. The last thing I saw before I closed my eyes was Donna's face which now had a "Yeah Bu ddy, if this works, I'll act like a ch icken" expression on it. H owever , as he counted to 10, I could feel the magnets pulling my hands together, and th ere was nothing I co uld do about it. It was one of the most fascinating experiences I've ever had . When I opened my eyes , my hands were stuck together and so. were Donna's. (Here I had plan ned on making another fun com- ment about poo r Donna 's face, but to be fair , my eyes were bulging out of mv head as far as her·s were). Mr. Sam. who was probably terribly amusf'J wi th both of us , . th en did a few more reall y neat demonstrations , and as each of them proved successfu l, the more ditzy and giddy Donna and I got. This stuff really worked' The really great part is that yo u don't go into some so rt of deep sleep when yo u get hypnotized: you actually know exactly what's going on around yo u . The rest of the day was spent running around jabbering to our friend~ that we ha d been hypn otized and that it was great and that ever vnne should try it. I even tried the old "You've Got Magnets To The Pal ms of Your Hand~" trick on a few of my friends, hut it didn't work. All in all, it was worth all th e notes I took , and I think Mr. Sam is a reall y good spo rt . However. I keep wondering if maybe, just maybe, he gave me one of those " post -hypnotic suggesti ons" and someday when I'm standing in line at th e caf ... cluck, cluck ... Hypnotism: AN atural State Of Mind by Donna Nitka What is the first thing yo u think of when yo u hear the word "hypnosis ?" If you're like most people you probably think of a gold watch swinging on a chain or a person acting like a chic.ken . Well, a trip to Frederick G. Sam's office, 37 N . River St. , will prove both these ideas wrong. Frederick G . Sam is a master hypnotist / hypnotherapist . He is cert ified by both the Hypnotist Examining Council and the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. He received his training at the Hypnotism Training Institute in California. He also studied at UCLA. Hypnotism, according to Sam, is a natural state of mind characterized by extreme relaxation of the body, intensified concentration of the mind and an emotional desire to follow suggestions, ideas that reach the mind through the senses. Sam first became interested in hypnotism as a result of back troub le. After trying various medications with no results, his doctor referred him to a hypnotherapist for treatment. The hypnotherapist taught Sam how to relax and he , in turn, wanted to teach others how tci do it. "All hypnosis is self-hypnosis." Sam noted that the hynotist merely acts as a guide , a "dream pilot," to aid the client in utilil ing his own potentials. This involves "dehypnotizing" people from their learn ed limitations. In order to do this , it is necessary to bypass the ration al, analytical conscious part of the mind and input a substitute judgement or idea . The conscious mind is bypassed by focusing it intensely on one point . When it is misdirected, the hypnotist has a direct channel to the level of the mind that is below con.sciousness. He th en replaces an existing idea wi th a new one. Words are the tools of the hyp notist . Sam explained how certain words trigger certain mental associations which, in turn , trigger ce rtaitain actions. He noted that '' habits of action begin as habits of th ought .' ' A hypnotist uses words to elicit certain responses from cli ents to help them realize their goals. Under hynosis , th e client learns new responses to old stimuli. The trance is the rapport that en ables the clinet to accept new ideas . Even though the hypn otic stat(' is experienced differently by every one, there are a few external characteristics that mark the state. These include flaccidity of the limbs, ironed out facial expressions. , }nc;~~~f;~ . qP,i.p,-.e)'~•, wo~ttp,e'?t ,1nd :•: • ,,,,Je~, .l)lVOlunt/lry, br-ea.tnmg.

There are no "physiological correlates to th e hypnotic state," yet it works. The hypnotized subject is more aware and alert than the average person, he has in tensified powers of concentration . Contrary to what most people be] - ieve. the hypnot ic subjec t retaim complete select ivity- th ere is nn surrender of the will. The hypnoti zed person is fully capabl e of making decisions. He can even become more in touch with his morals , values and ethics. Sam is very enthusiastic about hypnotism and the results it produc('S. He believes th at his best · 'credentials are the results ht' helps hi s dil'nts to achieve." r �February 25 , 1983, The Beacon, Pa g e 7 Merrily We Roll Along Cast O Iiers Views On Prod uction • by Elaine Czachor .

The lab now consists of a Vect{>rix color graphics termin al , a plotter , a color line printer , and a digitizer. There are three more terminals on order and a fifth terminal will be added next year. The new color graph ics term in als represent the state of the art in computer graph ics equiipmen t. They can display pictures of higher quality and finer detail than most video game di splays and h ave the ability to display up to 512 different colors at one time. In addition , each terminal has its own internal memory that can allow rapid picture ch anges and ot.imulate things like motion . Th e processo r that controls the terminal s provide com mands th at enable the ter m inal , with the help of compu ter programs, to draw just aQOut anything imaginable. The College was able to buy these terminals, which have a list price of $6,000 each, .thanks to a five yea r Ti tie III federal grant to the College. Part ·of th is grant gives ·$ 100,000 a year to support aca dnnic computing. Alx-ut $ 50,000 I of this year ' s allotment went to wa rd th e purchase of the graphics equipmen t. Dr. Joseph Parke r of the Math a nd Computer Scien ce Department and Dr. Bing Wong , chairman of that department were instrumental in obtaining the money for the graph ics equ ipment. According to Parker , even t hough the cost of sop_histicated graphics equipment has come down dramatica lly in the past six months, wit ho ut the grant, the College could not afford to buy this equipment . Parker expressed a desire that this facility be used by other depart ments besides com puter science. Programs exist or could be written to draw pictures of chem ical struct ur es, mathematica l functions , m aps, graphs, and many other applicat ions. Parker noted that there are several professors from ot her disciplines who are either sitting in on or are taking the course he is teach ing on comput er graphics. He stated , "The compu ter is a tool to be used by a lot of disciplines and can be used like the li bra ry." The primary purpose of the color graphics equipment is to make the computer easier for anyone to use.

These fin al three games leave the ladies wit h an overall 10-9 slate for the season . On Valen tine's Day , the Lady Colonels travelled to East Stroudsburg to face the Lady Warrior~ of East Stroudsburg State Colleg.: , a D ivision II team . On this panirn lar evening the Lad y Colonels were the victims of the Lady Warriors ' version of the Valentine' s Da y M as sacre. T he ladies got off to a slugg ish start in the fi rst half, and they fo und themselves down 48-30 at the interm ission . In the second period, the Lady Colonels were able to make some headw av. hut they we1'e unabl(' to ove r conw th e Lady Warriors. At the final buzzer it was ESSC 92 and Wilkes 77 . As has been the case in most of the Lady Colonels' contests this season, the backcourt tandem of sophomore Charlene Hurst and freshman Donna Martin led the scoring attack. Hurst netted 24 points and grabbed eigh t rebounds . Martin was close behind with 19. Junior co-capt ain Kim Smith also had a good evening. She con tribut ed 14 points and pulled in a tea m high 11 rebo unds. Three days later , February 17 , th e Ladv Colonels again took to the road · and journ eyed to Carlisle to face Dickenson College. T his con test was a make -up for the game which had been postponed on Janu ary 1 7 due to inclem ent weather. Once again the Lady Colonels started off slowly in the first period of play. A lack of effective defense and some very accurate shooting by the Dickinson team res ulted in a 43 -35 Lady Colonel defici t at the half. In the second period of play the Di ckinson team was able to extend its lead ,. but in the later stages of the half the Lady Colonels staged a comeback . Unfortunately, it was too little too late as time expi red wit h the scoreboard reading 85-80 in favor of Dicki nson. This game . for all intents and pur poses . was basicall y lost af the fo ul line. For the game, the Lady Colonels only m anaged to capitalize on 12 of their 25 freethrow attempts. The leading scorer for the Lady Colonels was Donna Martin . After a slow first period , she came back in the second to end up with 25 points. Also scoring in double figures were K im Smi th with 20 and Charlene Hurst with 14. On Februa ry 19 the Lady Colonels travelled to Hun tingdon with the men ' s bas ketball team to face Ju niata College. With a 9-9 reco rd and no hopes for a ptayo ff be rth . the Lady Colonels played th is one for them selves and their coaches . Pride was on the line as they took to the co urt in sea rch of a pl us .500 record for the season . T he first half was all Lady Colonels. Both the defense and th e offense worked to perfection as the ladies built a comm anding lead of 20 pl us points. At the half it was W ilkes 50 and Juniata 27 . In the second period things were a bit different . Juniata altered its strategy an d came out in a tenacious man -to-m an defense . As has been the case in previous games, the Lady Colonels had di fficulty in handling this type of defense . Juniata conti nued to whittle away at the Lady Colonel lead throug hout the second half, and in the closing minutes the lead was a mere four points. However , some clutch fou l shooting by freshman Michalene Chernicavage and Don na Ma1t in preserved the victor y fo r the Lady Colonels. T he ladies concl uded their season with a 84-77 win . For the game the Lady Colonels returned to their usual explosive offense as fou r players tallied double figu res . Charlene H urst and Donna Martin led the way wit h 26 an d 25 points respectively . K im Smith and Michalene Chern icavage each add ed 10 . T he top reboun der for the gamne was Kim Smith who ripped down 111.

Last season the team fini shed fifth in the Eastern s and ended the season ranked 19 th nationally. the final score by ·chris Baron The National Collegiate Athletic Association recently passed a rule pertaining to the academic ability of incoming collegiate athletes. The new .ru\e applies to only Djvision J schools and goes into effect in 1986. The law requires incoming freshmen athletes •to have a minimum combination score of 700 on the Scholastic Aptitude T est. Athletes must also pursue a course of study which includes some type of core requirement block. M ost colleges have core programs for all students, but there are some schools where athletes can avoid basic classes such as math and freshmen composition. Under the new ruling , athletes will also be forced to maintain a Grade Point Average of at least a 2.0. . It is refreshing to see that the N CAA has finally done something about a problem that has been around since athletic scholarships have been in existence. Although the new rule has some draw backs , it does put down concrete guidelines for t he academic qualifications of prospective student athletes. Most schools impose the same academic requirerrfnents on their athletes as they do on the general population of the school. There have always been a few schools that allow their athletes to drift through four years without obtaining a solid educational background. T he new rule prevents colleges from using their athletes for economical reasons without having any regard for their future career prospects. The problem of athletes who are not academically sound recently has been in the media spotlight. Five former basketball players at Long Beach State have sued the college because they were allowed to progress in their education while they graduated with reading and writing levels comparable to those of fifth graders. It's true that these players are at least partially responsible for their present situations, but if these rules had been in existence the problem could have been avoided. Athletics is big business at many D ivision I institutions. High qual ity sports team~ can mean huge revenue for many colleges. The potential for recruiting high quality athletes without considering their academ ic ability has always existed. Many athletes dedicate their lives to sports while ignoring academic endeavors. At Division I schools , man y athletes have the opportunity to play in the pros. Only a few of these players ever make it into the big money pro ranks . If they have not taken their education seriously , they can be left without a solid professional future after their four years of eligibility are over. · The new rule will have little impact on athletics at Wilkes. Wrestling is the only Division I sport at Wilkes. Wilkes College in theory , treats athletes and other students equally, but until now , the potential for recruiting academically deficient athletes has existed. Although the new ruke has little impact at Wilkes, it does serve to raise an important topic , that being the relationship between sports and classroom education. Athletes should be made aware of the fact that sports can be a rewarding experience. However , sports is the in no way a substitute for a solid college education. The NCAA has taken a big step toward integrating sports and academics to produce a more fulfilling collegiate experience for the student-athlete. Football of any kind was banned fo r a ti me at H arva rd and Ya le . but in 186 7, a set of rules was draw n up at Pri nceton. T wo years later , a tea m from that school took on a squad from Rutgers Unive rsity a t N ew Brunswick , New J ersey, in a match often called the first intercollegiate foot ball game in Ameri ca . But the fact is , the game that day was soccer and not fo0t ha ll : eal·h team consisted of 2'5 men : a ro und ball was used ; and running with the ball was not perm itt ed.

President Robert Capin last semester announced his intention of leaving the College in May of 1984. thus giving the Board of Trustees more than a year to locate a suitable replacement . Henson reviewed the steps that the search committee wi ll go through in the process of finding one or more candiates to present to the Board of Trustees' approval: an assessment of the College's needs and problems; the development and formulation of a set of criteria by which to judge possible candidates; the consideration of using profess.ional help in the search ; the possible use of publicity to assist in finding candidates; and finally, screening and ranking the chosen candidates . Professional organizations are available to assit institutions in choosing new presidents. Hennson mentioned two: the Presidential Search Service and the Academy of Research Consultants. When questioned, Beaman reported that the services of such groups could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000, depending on the amount of assistance they provide . He also stated that the committee had been budgeted $10,000 to work with during their search.

These sheets listed certain qualifications a college or university president should have and requested that they be rated as essential, important, helpful or not important. Henson explained that th e committee hoped to complete their activities by January 1, 1984 , so that the Board of Trustees woul d have enough time to consider th e candi dates before making their decisdion . President Capin was present to offer those qualities he felt were vit al in a college president.

Capin explained that this vas the· last faculty meeting he wo uld attend to discuss the matter . and that from then on, he woul d 111· se rving "as a messenger boy" for the committee to help them with outside arrangements and contact ing people. In response to questions from -the faculty, Capin made it clear that the bvlaws of the college state that the final decision in selecting a president belongs to the Board of T Rrustees . Besides Beaman and Henson , the search committee includes five members of the Board : Patricia Davies (chairperson of the committee), Frank Henry , Marv Rhodes. Arnold Rifkin and Rich ard Ross, Jr.; an alumni representative, James Ferris; and a student representative, Dave Fife. The hoard and alumni representatives were designated by the chairman of the hoard. The faculty represent at ives were elected by the faculty, and the student was chosen by t~e deans of Student Affairs. Henson and H eaman emphasized their desire and willingness "to discuss the entire process with anyone at anytime." They re· quested that the faculty write down any suggestions or comments they might have and give them at any time. H owever , they also stress ed that they did not intend tn w port back to the facult v for apprnv al after each step. It was announced that Davies w:ll be present at the next meeting to answer further questions and sol , ·,; ideas from the faculty. .President.

Enrollments for higher educa iion , on th e ave rage, are down . This trend is consistent nation wide, according to Dr. Eric Wat ters , director of In stitutional Re - . search at Wilkes College. He said th at private schools are down somewhat but not drastically . State schools and universities are leveling off. The colleges that have nnt yet been affected are the high Iv selective ones and the religi ous institutions. Watters said that these . remain popular because people at· tend them for specific reasons. In a survey of the nation's in . dependent colleges , done by the National Institute of Independent · Colleges and Universities , more than 1,000 colleges were question ed. The survey produced the fol lowing results: -63 percent of the nation 's independent colleges reporting declines in freshman enrollment · - 34 percent lost 10 pe rcent or more - 15 percent lost 10 to 15 percent - 14 percent lost one to five percent - For al l schools the fu ll-time fresh men decline was 3. 77 percent -Gai ns in freshm an enrollment of IO percent or moree was report ed by 1 7 percent - The total amount of student full -time and part-ti me declined Cameras and microphones are permitted during trilas in 40 states, but fede ra l co urts barthem .

In 1980, 170 thousand st ud ent s graduated fr o m hi gh schools nationwide . Projections show that in 1991 the number of graduating high school students wi11 decline to 11 7 thousand. Predict ions for th e private colleges also show a decline in stu dent attendance. According to Wat ter , in 1980, the percentage of students in Pennsylvania attending private schools was · 40.4 percent. In 1990, it is expected that 36. 2 percent will go to private schools. The decline in the birthrate coupled with cuts in financial aid present a big problem for higher education, according to Watter. Schools are combating the up· coming and current enrollment problems by offering more classes to other kinds of students, such as older people or people who wa nt to finish their education while working. Also, according to \Vatter . some schools are helping st udents co p<: finan cially. '. 'They're budgeting dramat ic increases to offset th e decline in state and federal sources," he sai d.

The national decline, reflected somewhat in the survey, showed that 30 percent reported losses of 10 percent or more. Hardest hit, according to the survey, were the comprehensive colleges and universities and less selective liberal arts schools in the · private sector, such as Wilkes College, with losses more than five percent.

' Additional honors came to Wilkes when Walter Shonfield was named the Outstandi ng Debate Speaker for the entire tourn ament. Hi s part ner , Donna O'Too~e . wa~ rc,,,g - nized as the third best speaker in competition. Shon field added still another award to the Wil kes vie· tor ies when he won second place in the State in Extemporaneous Speaking. Not since 1954 has Wil kes been able to claim the state title. Once annually, schools within the com monwealth gather on a centrall y located campus to compete for honors and state awards. The Penn · sylvania Forensic Association is the only recognized speech organi zation in the state to conduct such a championship tournament. This year's competition saw Wilkes ,go against schools from the eastern. western , and sout hern part of the state. According to Dr. Bradford Kin ney , director of the Wilkes program, "The ~tate award ha~ been a long time ro ming to Wil kes. I am very pleased that after so man v wars of t rying to secure this ti t le that it was won during t he College's 50th ann iversary celebrat ion . I can ' t thi n k of a nicer gift to give to the institut ion.'' Th e professor of speech -radio went on to comment th at both Shonfeld and O ' T oole are just in t hei"r first year of intercollegiate debate competition , and that while the ·college entry was small com pared with those of ot her schools in competi tion , Wilkes still proved itself a wi nner. T he four awards won during the State Championship Tournament raises the numbe r of victories won just this year to thi rt y-nine.

Low Enrolllllent Causes Dism·issal Of Three Nursing Instrzictors by Candy Marshall Accordi ng t o Dr. V irgi nia Nehring , nursing department chairwoman , a decrease in enrollment , combined with cutbacks at the College , will result in the loss of three nursing instructors for the 198384 school year, a decision which surprised two of the instructors. In addition to the large· number of untenured persons in the Nursing Department (untenured personnel are first to be cut), Dr. Neh ring noted that nurses are mobile' ' in both clinical and academia.'

It has been announ ced th at Dr. Gerald Hartdagen , dean of Academic Affiars, will act as ch airman fo r the remainder of the sem ester.

When questioned as to whether this resign ation would have any ef. feet on the situation of Jerry Campbell and Dr. Bruce Reiprich , two members of the Music Department who are protesting the College's decision not to renew their contract, Hartdagen stated he saw the two matters as totally unrelated.

The physical layout of the campus grounds is being modified: some buildings are being sold, while others are being converted for new uses . The curriculum is presently under review, and committees have been organized to determine whether or not change is called for. Student enrollment is fluctuating, and is influencing the future of whole departments of study on campus. Some well-respected faculty members will teach their last classes on campus this year or next, and will then leave to find employment elsewhere . Administrative job descriptions have been altered , and some administrative positions have been elimio.ited altogether. The president of the College is resigning, and the search for a capable man or woman to fill the vital office is curreptly underway. Vast changes indeed. Perhaps the most important aspect of all re-evaluations is that they will all affect Wilkes students directly , by changing forms of housing, classroom locations, . programs of study, classroom teachers, and college administrative policy. The next year and the years to come will un doubtedly require a slightly altered version of the Wilkes student some of us have grown accustomed to seeing , or even grown into; these past years. The average student of 1984 and the years following will have to be vitally interested in the workings of the College to insure that the inevitable changes taking place will be to the students' advantage, and an active student voice in the formulation of these changes will be crucial. With this in mind , we turn our eyes to the upcoming student government nominations and elections. The last few years have presented a disappointing display of (and I cringe at the overused phrase) student apathy concerning the three major student governance bodies , whether we like to admit that fact or not. A ccording to the Commuter Council Constitution , six students are eligible for every class to be elected to CC. It has not been uncommon in the past fo r CC candidates to run unopposed ; and in some cases the ballots do not even list a full complement (6) of candidates to vote for. IRHC, which operates under a different election procedure , this year has failed to maintain even a full representative body, and it is reported that representatives are inconsistent in attendance at meetings .. Predictions for presidential nominations for all three_ organizations-SG , CC, and IRHC-indicate that all three presidential candidates may run unopposed. Certainly , it 's difficult to involve today ' s students , who seem (as do most people of this time period) more concern'ed with preparing fo r careers and after-college finan cial security than with "social" issues . The radical humanist movement of the 60s has long since retired , and it is fruitless here to engage in a debate about "why?" Surely , the three student government bodies have tried to promote active student involvement (and again, to evaluate their success is not appropri ate here). But even in light of these facts , one finds it appalling that students on this campus, faced with the possibility of radical changes in the next years that may affect their entire college careers, are willing to remain so silent. One can only hope fervently that the predictions for this year's elections are false. · Let 's hope for an active campaign season this year, and for some voices who refuse to remain (ugh) apathetic.

Haggerty, Jr. With less than one year until the New Ham pshire primary, the field of can di dates is beginning to become crowded , especially in the Democratic Party. So far , fi ve candidates have announced their candi dacy, and more are sure to do like wise as 1984 approaches , adding to the already exciting field of candidates . Let 's see how the race is shapi ng up today. M ost observers wo uld agree that Walter M ondale is the current front runner and the likely Democratic nominee. He attained this position not because of any grea t reforms or ideas he proposed , but rather as the res ult of twofac tors . Fortunately, for Walt, Senator T ed Kenn edy (D -M ass.) saw fi t to exclude himself from the race, and, if we remember correctly, Mr. Mondale was vice president a few years back , which at least establishes some name recogni tion for him . This early advantage should be enough to carry Mondale to the convention as a front runner. T h e top banan a of the rest of the •bun ch appears to be Senator John G lenn (D-O hio). Glenn 's claim to fame is his career as an astronau t , not as a politician . In fact, his Senate career has been a bit less than illustrious. Again, though, Glenn has a good degree of name recogni tion , which should increase a great deal due to the book and movie The Right Stuff, which is about G!enn ' s life. A well organ- ized campaign by Gle nn could con ceivably amount to a serious challe nge to Mondale , a fact that would throw the Democratic convention into a turmoil. The campaign of Senator Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) could be a. con tri buting factor in the confusion wh ich is possi ble at the convention . Although Cranston does not pose a serious threat to Mondale and Glenn , he may pick up a substantial amount of delegates due to a likely victory for him in his home state of Californ ia, and in other Western states. It is also possi ble that a large amount of nuclear freeze vote go to Cranston also, which means additional delegates for him . This wi ll only serve to lessen the ch ances, of Mondale and Glenn receivin g a clear majority at th e convention , and thus the Democratic nomination . Other candidates such as .Senator Gary Hart (D-Col.) an d former Florida Governor Reuben Askew have little · support outsi de their home states , and are un likely to pick up any substantial support elsewhere. The few delegates they win , however, will only add to the convention mystery. If any candidate does come out of the con vention with a true majorit y, it will be Mondale , but due to the rest of the field, non e are likely to receive this true majority. The possi- · bility of a dark-horse compromise candidate . looks realistic at this time. Does all this con fusion on the Democratic side really matter' Let ' s fac e it , folks, despi te what Ron ald Reagan says, he is preparing to run for a secon d term . Despoite all the negative press President Reagan is gett ing, he is sti ll strong enough to ward of an y of the potential Democratic candidates . As the recovery gets stronger , Reagan 's support will grow, and he should come out of the Republican convention with a substantial lead over his challenger , whoever that may be. It is hard to conceive of even a unified Democratic Party seriously challengi ng Ronald Reagan in 1984. Still, however , we must look at all possibilities . There is a slim ch ance th at Ronald Reagan won 't run . If he doesn't, it loo ks like Goerge Bush will be the Repu blican nominee . Howard Baker would undo ubtedly jump at the oppo rtuni ty to become Chief Executive, but only major bl unders by Bush and a perfect campaign by Baker would make this possible. Conser v at iv es wo ul d u ndo u btedly favor Congressman Jack Kemp of New York (he would be our choice), yet realistically Kemp 's ch ances are slim against the popular Vice President . All of this spen1 lation is really unn ecessary . Ronald Reagan is goi ng to run in 1984. In a nutshell , here ' s how November 6 , 1984 shapes up: Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale by at least 10 million votes. Any comments 'o r criticisms are welcome.

Although the tradition of comparing war to a game is an old one, going back at least to the Duke of Wellington's remark that the Battle of Waterloo was won ' 'on the playing fields of Eton," it is a dan, gerous and simple-minded analogy to make at this time. Messrs. Urban ski and Haggerty update the game analogy and draw it from the world of football. They speak blithe ly of "that final conflict" (Armageddon?), ''teams,'' and ·the "Superbowl." To use their own football analogy I would. modestly suggest that if "that final' conflict" comes neither side .f,'ill "score," and furthermore all the spectacles will "lose" when they and the st adium are vaporized. 0 Messrs. Urbanski and Haggerty will say that we must arm in order to "deter" such an event. The most dangerous thing about the concept of deterence is that it ftp· pears rational and realistic, and people opposed to the concept can easily be seen as irresponsi ble or childish. Perhaps Messrs. Urban ski and Haggert y can enlighten me, but I do not know of any historical exa mples where arming deterred war. An increasing number of writers are pointing to the disturbing similarities between present day super power rivalries and the sabre rattling of pre-world war I Europe. The warlords of that conflict did not anticipate a four year stalemate on the western front, the death of millions, the collapse of four empires, or the establishment of a revolutionary government in Russia. Rather, they were " plllnning" for a traditional 19th century European war lasting from six to eight weeks, with a negotiated settlemen·t and · a minor redrawing of European borders. The other example of political 11aivete concerns Messrs. U. and I-f' s remar ks on the secretary of I n te r io r J a m es W a t t. They comment on his being a '' true moderating force between indust ry and environmentalism ", and to clinch the argument they cite the fact t hat congressmen from '' the states where the federal govern ment owns most of the land" support Watt. Are they surprised? Do they imagine that congressmen work in a vacuum, only concerned with the public good and uninfluenced by powerful interests? Considering the fact that over 40 percent of U.S. congressmen are millionaires it would be naive to believe that they are immune to · the blandishments of these powerful interests.

Alterna tive Forms ................................................................................................ by Kim Skrinak This week I am writing in regard to Dale Englehart' s letter that was written in response to my article on the banning of trapping and hunting. He wrot e that he was "anxious to hear of Justice for Animal's 'alternati.ve form ' of managing our wildlife.'' Pat Bulford , one of the foun ders of Justice for Animals, has written an article that appeared in the December 12 issue of the Citizen 's Voice that should help to answer some of his questions. Editor: li hunting is stopped, will the animals overpopulate and starve to death? No, because if hunting is stopped, manipulation of wild-life will cease. Hunting works on the theory of "maximum sustained yield." This means manipulating wildlife · populations to the highest possible numbers so that the hunters can kill for "sport" year after year under the guise of "conservation." This "game management" is accomplished by shooting primarily males, varying season lengths, planting food crops and changing habitats. In the absence of hunting, how will animals control their own populations? Wildlife are essentially ''den sity-depen den t," wh ich means their populations adjust to t he available resour<;:es. T hey do this by complex interact ion of such variables as abundan ce of food, type of habitat , interspecies competition, climatic conditions, etc. This mechan ism acts by regulating the number of females · that become pregnant, the number and size of litters, survival rates of the young, and the age at which the species become sexually mature. In the journal Scientific American, V. C. Edwards sheds additional light on the matter. He says the notions that fredators or disease are essentia controllers of population growth are false . There are animals that effectively have no predators and are not .readily subject to disease and yet are limited to a stable level of population; among notable examples are the lion and the eagle. He also says that starvation per se in animal communities is rare. It is related to other factors such as climatic conditions-a drought or severe cold may starve out a population. However, this is an accident of weather and did not arise from . population density. Moreover, he points out that the animals themselves exercise necessary restraints. In part the density-dependent control in many animals including some of the mammals, is exercised by means of a biological reaction- eith er r-eduction of the rate of ovulatio n thro ug h a change in the output of hormon es, or resorption of the embryos in the uterus as a result of the stress (as occurs in rabbits, foxes and deer). Thus, when hunting and habitat manipulation are stopped, wildlife populations will return to a state of conformity with the habitat and i11 balance with other animal poptilations. The Hanford Reservation in Washington State and the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey are two examples where wildlife have adjusted without any problems when hunting was halted completely. Since hunters pay for wildlife programs through their lie. ense fees, etc., shouldn't they be allowed to hunt? The slogan "Hunters pay for conservation" is but another myth the public has been force-fed to believe. Le t's take a close look at the funding of wildlife conservation. In 1975, the Department of the Interior allocated S35 million of its annual budget , to the U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service (the pro-hunting arm of the government). Most of these · funds were spent making life more pleasant for hunters and more dangerous for the animals. Sl3 million came from duck stamps, S18 million from taxes on fishing ge3:.r and S56 million from the 11 percent excise tax on arms and ammunition. On the local level, sta te fi sh an d game departments administer wildlife programs on 30 million acres of military land, 473 million acres of public lan d, 187 million acres of national forests and· 28 million acres already u nder the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildl ife. Vir tually all of this land was purchased with general funds. Taxpayers also contributed S23 million annually for administrative costs. Most of this land is open to hunting, as are nearly half of the 356 · national wildlife refuges which cost the taxpayer S23.1 million a year to maintain. A little known taxpayer ripoff is the Department of Agriculture's "Public Access Program" encouraging farmers to offer services to hunters. The program officially began in 1972 with an allocation of Sl.5 million a year and has been expanding ever since. However, the· D.A., the Soil Conservation Service and other governmental agencies were engaged in similar hunter welfare programs long before this one was hatched. The Federal Government has recently authorized the use of 2. 3 billion to purchase land for National Parks and Wildlife Refuges where, according to precedent, hunters will no doubt continue to collect the parts of our wildlife for placement in their trophy dens. It is interesting to note that this one isolated taxpayers' cont rib ution is 'S ½ billion more than all the money collected from hunting licenses in 56 years. Marylan d?s Eastern Shore is probably one of the most noted strongholds of hunting in Eastern United States. One wonders if hunters are interested in funding wildlife protection efforts or in just shooting for fun, when Maryla.,d has been noted among the top three "violation-states" for illegal waterfowl hunting practices. While hunters represent only 10 percent of Americans, they have a virtual monopoly over the destruction of wildlife and we, the taxpayers, are footing most of the bill. For too long, the public has been misled into believing hunting is necessary; but the foregoing facts are shocking testimony against this falsehood. Ultimately, there is only one answer to the question "Who pays for wildlife conservation?" The animals do. They pay with their lives and their suffering in the name of sport is an expense for which there is no .justification.

All those who missed the play will read what they missed. 11:45 p.m., Friday, February 25: Drinking gin and orange juice at Backstreets, a bar in Wilkes-Barre. I am thinking what I will be in twenty years. I am thinking ·what I will be in five . I am thinking silently, "Who am I?" When I cannot answer that question, I decide to leave. I leave with someone who asks me what is wrong in regard to my depressed stare of silence. "I do not know ," I tell her. 11:00 p.m., Friday, February 25: I am congratulating various memhers of the cast of Mcrri(y We Roll A long . While drinking punch and expressing my feelings to some people concerning the play . I ran ' t help but feel a strange depression.

The applause is for the actors, actresses , orchestra, crew (lighting, makeup , costume, publicity, et cetera infinit) who all participated and created the wonderful play I have just seen. I am clapping for the concept of the play: the altered time scheme which made it work so well, the unique introduction of video , and the moving musical performance, and O'Neill, and the theatre and the Arls . .. I am clapping for a play that entertained me , and that also made me think. I am especially clapping for : 1. Ken!ly Dephiney , . a King's College student who expertly played Charles _Kringas. The character came to life livelier than I could seriously hancile in my second-row seat, and the play was the comedy it was largely because of his talent . 2. Lee Strubech, who played convincingly the ,part of Franklin Shepard. J:Iis well_-acted mann erism -~ake th~ difficult character very real, incorporating a cigarette and sports iacket into a complex personna which could have otherwise been presented cliched and worn -our. 3.

Pamela Samuelson as Mary Flynn , the old fri end. Her dynamic presenc~ and range of character pulled things together in a creative, energetic fashion . She provided levity and sophistication when and where it was need ed, ,and ahyays with mature confidence (the wonderful beginning at Shepard s BelA1r home, for example). · I am clapping still , and to continue rriy reasons would be to list eve ry character. M y favorite parts were 1979 , 1973, 1968, 1962, 1960 , and 1957 , a very good vintage . So:!1ewhere 6_e tween 8:00_p.~. and 10:30 p.m., Friday, February 25: Geez! This Kennedy thing 1s great!

It was very sincere and to the point , particularly because he was going to be interviewed by Eyewitness News in abo ut 10 minutes . After Presi dent Capin finished, the .division leaders announced their capt ains. Then he made some closing statem ents and the meeting was over . I left the C.P.A. with a feeling of accomplishment.

Joseph Salsburg, associate pro· fessor of mathematics and computer science at Wilkes College , agrees that people are taking this kind of statement seriously.

Feelings of depression range from the "blues," to normal depression, through severe, life-long depressive states . Biological, psychological, and sociological differences in individuals determine whether depression will be a short term , easily altered state, or a long term, intense condition requiring professional counseling and medication. Sadness and depression are · unpleasant feelings usually associated with losses and problems in life. People often become depressed as the carefree weekend ends and Monday's school work and office work begin . For those who have limited weekend plans and human contacts, pangs of depression may crop up on Friday afternoon . School grades that remain low despite hard work, combined with the telephone that never rings and an empty mailbox, are situations that may lead to degrees of depression and feelings of loss. This is normal: many people get depressed as they lose their childhood freedoms and l>ecome independent adults. A person who is chronically depressed feels worthless, sad, and empty. The world is uninteresting and without meaning. For these people daily routines and activities become ,dull and bleak, an d they complain of loss of energy and fatigue .

For the average person, a dream is but a si ngle-play fantasy: no returns and no continuations. However, this Wilkes College freshman has been experiencing episode after episode of the same dream for the past four months; and presently the end is nowhere in sight. Over the Spring Break, ·while everyone elase was either hanging around the house or frolicking in the Florida sun, Beth and her racquetball doubles partner, Tammy Hajjar, were conquering the Western Hemisphere at !'he lntern at i onal Amateur Racquetball Federation's 1983 American Regional Games or the North American Zone Competition . The event originally scheduled for Montreal, Canada, took place in Stockton, California, from March 4-6. The competition, held at the Quail Lakes Racquetball and Fitness Club, featured the national teams from the United States, Mexi co, and Costa Rica. The event marked the first -ever racquetball competition -between these nations. On Saturday, March 5, Beth and Tammy defeated the women's doubles team from Costa Rica, and on Sunday they triumphed over the tandem from Mexico to clinch the title and an award signifying Western Hemisphere Supremacy . Last October, Beth, a biology major from Wayne, and Tammy had qualified for both the Zone Competition and the World Games . then scheduled for Mun ich. West Germany, by winning the $982 Doubles Women's Open gold medal at the Seamco Racquetball Division and Lite Beer AARA , American Amateur Racquetball Association) National Champion ships. That competition was held at the Federal Way Athletic Club in Federal Way, Washington. In addi tion to the gold medal, Beth also garnered l! silver in the mixed doubles with her partner Hugh Klein. Soon after the nationals, Beth was looking ahead to the World Games, and commented, "It has been hard to think about it , beeca use with school'I am always working. But," she added, "when I am playing , I think about it and get . excited." First there was the American Region;! Games to prepare · for. On Monday afternoon, February 28, Beth flew to California in anticipation of the competition to come. The American_ Regional Games were sanctioned by the Internation al Amateur Racquetball Federation : and they were . sponsored by Lite Beer form Miller , Penn Athletics Company, Quail Lakes Rae - 1 quetball and Fitness Club , and the Northern California Racquet· ball As.'iOciation. Each national team fielded representatives in men's and women's number one, two, and three singles and in men's and women's doubles . The competition itself had a format of round robin, head-on -head contests. The first round was on March 4, the second on March 5, and the third on March 6. The scoring was based upon winand-loss accumulation. Any ties which resulted were to be determ ined by head-on -head competition . The overall winners of each category, men's and women's singles and men's and women's doubles , werC' r,resented an award symboliz- in,, 1.1 . ·., . . ,· ,l·l<'misp_h ereSupremacv . f'IH'n · ·-.·,·n· a'lso awards for sec'onJ a1 1d 11, ,,.J place. Gt>1ng into· the competition , Beth and T-ammy were; favored to win the women's doubles, and ac cordi ng to the · Medi'a Kit Press Release on the Regionals, Beth and Tammy were inexperienced but worthy participants : "This will be Tammy's first time on the National Team . Beth Latini of Wayne, PA, has become a formidable player on the right side in teaming up with Tammy . She complements Tammy's left-handed play and the team will be hard to beat at the Regionals. This will be Beth's first time as a member of the U.S. team." Beth and Tammy proved this to be an accurate assessment, and• according to Beth, the United States team dominated the en tire competition. Unfortuneately, according to Beth , there will not be any World Games this year as had been planned . When the American team arrived in Stockton, the members were informed of this turn of events. Instead of the World Games, which occur in the off years after the Olympics, there will instead be, as a -substitute, an approximately 11 team competition in Costa Rica. It will be quite similar to the Ameri can Regional Games in format and status. Thus , the dream ha~ acquired an unexpected bittersweet taste for Beth. Any substitute cannot equal the World Games in either status or importance . Beth commented, " It will not be the same, even though I will be represent ing the United States." As a result of the substitution, a justifiably disappointed Beth said, " I am upset , and I was really hurt, because I have worked so hard ... It really shattered me.'' She has become a . bit disillusioned as well and stated in a critical manner . that "t he Association (AARA) is so disorganized this year.'' As things stand now , there will not be any World Games until 1985, and Beth will have to re qualify for the event. She stated that she is not too pleased with this fact, but she has accepted it and will prepare herself accordingly . The re qualifying will be the easy part. Unfortunately, there is a diffi cult part. At this point, Beth's major concern is her mother, who is currently waging a battle with cancer. Even though things are looking good concerning her recove~y, Beth is still understandably worried . Thus. the delay of the World Games ha~ more significant ramifications than merely the need to requalify. Beth sadly said, "I will be here to requalify, but my mom may not be here to see it ." Mrs. Latini has been the major · motivational force behind her daughter's success: a string of achievements that they have alwavs ATTENTION · CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!!

Ac cording to Beth , her mother "thrives on the game. She cari 't play, but she really knows her stuff. She is a great coach ." Perhaps , their . relationship is best summed up in Beth's word5: '.'She is my mother. but she is also my best friend.'' ·Despite her concern and worry , Beth steadfa5tlv din_gs to the bel · ief that her mot her will be there to see her play in 198'5.

After that will come the requali fying, then the eagerly anticipated 1985 World Games, and perhaps even the 1988 Olympics .

For example, the first half could be comprised of less competitive teams and the second half comprised of the more competitive. However. this was not the case wit h the Lady Colonels. The schedule , for the most part. was even ly balanced. .,. The problem was with the team itself · as a unit the ladies were inrnnsistent.

In this year's special playoff the Colonels were tied 71- 71 with Madison-FDU with only one second on the clock, when an un identified Wilkes player called time out. The only problem was that the Colonels didn't have any timeo ut s remaining.

For the most part , student enrollments will hold the key to the future prospects of this institution . Everything from the size of the physicaJ1>lant to the retention and dismissal of personnel depends upon this one critical factor. It all comes down to the obvious fact that students are the lifeblood of every college and university. Based upon forecasts and pro. jections as to future enrollments, the future appears to be rather dim for Wilkes College. However, such bleak prospects are not unique to Wilkes , but are rather applicable to future national trenJs as well.

The survey is given for two reasons: to understand the attitudes and goals of the incoming students and so that long range studies can be done on what effect a four-year college has on people. The survey is given to students before college and then again years later after they have graduated .

The significance of and the implications of demographics in regards to postsecondary education has been outlined by David W. Breneman is an essay entitled ''The Coming Enrol_lment Crisis" which appeared in · the March 1983 edition of Change, the Ma_gazine of Higher Learning. Breneman, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. the executive editor of Change , and the future president of Kalamazoo College, begins his discussion with a citation of a wellkn own fact that "the traditional college-age group population will decline in number between now and the mid-1990s by roughly 25 percent." He further claims that during this same period total "enrollments will decline . nationally by about 15 percent." Hence, the concern nationally and locally with demographic statistics . In this article , Breneman brings out some very interesting statis- tics concerning the 18- to 19-year old age group which help to explain the present national projections concerning enrollments. First of all, between 1950 and 1980, the number pf 18-year olds doubled. Of these years , the 1960s presented the most rapid growth rate (45 percent) in higher education, and the 1970s presented the slowest (13 percent). According to Breneman , such figures explain why the 1960s experienced a boom in higher education enrollment, and why the 1970s grew continually but at a slower pace . More significantly, the figures show a sharp drop in the age group between 1979, the peak year, and 1994, the lowest year .. Such a drastic decrease explains why the national trend is being projected as one of decline du ring the period between now and the midto-late 1990s However, according to Breneman, there is a glimmer of hope.

As a whole, Breneman expects the state of Pennsylvania to experience a 34 to 40 percent decline in college enrollments during this period.

HQw will Wilkes College fare in the tuture? According To Capin , "Wilkes College will survive, but it will !Jave to adjust the scale of plant. " In other words, the College will have to adapt itself to the possibility of having a samller student body. The financial factor, as mentioned by Breneman, will have an imQaCt QPOn the futµre of Wilkes. :According to Capm, there will be a tuition and room and board increase next year. In addition, there will be some changes in financial aid. As far as this is concerned, Dean Wuori stated that the College was ''hit hard last year by uncertainty of finan~ial aid." · No one can be sure as to implement in regards to financial aid. Capin stated that Wilkes College will not be alone in its expense. He Wilkes Chosen-To Host Health Care Symposium The question "Is Health Care Healthy? '' will be addressed by experts in the fields of medicine, philosophy and extramural research and training at the Wilkes College Health Sciences Symposium to be held on April 29. The special 50th anniversary event, which will focus on the Politics of Medicine, will begin with registration at 8 : 3 0 a .m. and con elude with a luncheon at 12:45 p.m . Distinguished guests from imporant medical institutions throughout the country will lecture. Among those selected to speak are: Edmund Pellegrino , M.D., Georgetown University; ,Sheldon Cohen, M .D. National Institutes of Health , Washington, D.C.; Samuel Gorovitz, Ph.D., professor of Philosophy, University of Maryland; Catherine DeAngelis, M.D. , Johns Hopkins Medical School; and William Raub , M.D. , National Institues of Health.

Januzzi's Pizza and HQ~gies cited the present Wilkes payment program as an exarrlple. The administration , according to Capin, plans ~o implement a number of programs m order to combat the orojected decline in enrollment. First of all, the recruiting efforts will become more aggressive and intense . All departments of the College \Yi.II be expected to do extensive recru1tmg. Capin mentioned that the Public Relations office will be expected to increase its efforts to have material concerning student achievements, (e.g., Dean's List, Who's Who, and athletic honors), publish-. ed _in hom~town _papers. The reasonmg behmd this 1s the fact that' the more a high school student sees the name "Wilkes College" in the papers the more likely he or she will be to remember it come time to apply for college. _ According to Dean Wuori, the "strongest recruiting tool is the Wilkes graduate returning to his Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior Total Enrollment Projection Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior .Tota.I 1983 610.582 483.825 445.183 399.235 1938.825 1984 543.315 514.660 419.863 427.239 --1905.0768 1985 563.803 457.96 446.622 402.943 1871.3279 1986 536.308 475.230 397.418 428.623 1837.5794 1987 557.970 452.054 412.405 381.402 1803.8309 1988 511.693 470.313 392.292 395.785 1770.0823 1989 520.406 431.306 408.138 376.483 1736.333 1990 497.956 438.65 374.287 391.69 1702.583 1991 509.246 419.727 380.661 359.203 1668.8368 1992 476.281 429.248 364.239 365.32 1635.0882 Enrollment Projection or her hometown .

Israel Today . Eban To Lecture At Gymnasium The Honorable Abba Eban, Isr"eli diplomat, political leader, and distinguished scholar, will present a lecture entitled "l.srael Today" on Sunday, April 10, at 8 p.m. in the College gymnasium. The lecture has been rescheduled from March because of Eban's involvement with elections for the president of Israel. The lecture, which -is free to the public , is being co-sponsored by The Jewish Community Center and Wilkes College . Mrs. Esther B. Davidowitz of Kingston , a mem ber of the Board of Directors of The Jewish Community Center and the Board of Trustees for Wilkes College·, is serving as chairperson of the special event. Abba Eban has fought throughout his public career for peace in the Middle East and for basic hum - an rights. Known as an urator without peer, Eban 's gift for speaking and debating is legendary . In the area of Mideast politics, he has made his mark as a brilliant theorist and skillful negotiator. Born in Cape Town and raised in London , Eban was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, where he took a triple first degree and was appointed research fellow. On the establishment of the state of Israel. in 1948, Eban was appointed its first permanent representative to the United Nations and in 1950 its Ambassador to the United States. During these yea rs Eban had three tasks: to fight public battles at the United Nations ; to gain support for Israel in Washington ; and to rally the American Jewish Community. His major achievement in this period was after the Sinai campaign in October 1956 when he au negotiated understandi,ix with Secretary of State John Foste& Dulles. In 1959 , Eban returned to Israel where he was elected to the Knesset and was included in Ben Gurion 's cabinet successively- as min ister of education and culture, deputy prime · minister , and foreign minister. In the Middle East cri~is that erupted in 196 7, Eban was sent by his government to negotiate with General Charles DeGaulee, Prime Minister Harold Wilson , and President Lyndon Johnson. The culmination of Eban 's efforts at this critical stage are history-his statement to the security council during the second day of the Six-Day War was a tour de force, heard by millions of Americans on television and radio. Ehan is currently working on a documentary for PBS. __ .:.;. _____ ·~---------NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS-------------~--....;.- The following scholarship positions are available on the Amnicola staff for the 1983-84 academic year.

This· past year I was active in both Student Government and IRHC so I strongly feel I am qualified for this position, but this article is not for that purpose. Rather, this article is for me to inform you, the resident students of Wilkes College, of the platform upon which 1intend to run. I have noticed that there are cer- To the Editor: The following essay contains my platform for the office of InterResidence Hall Council President for the year 1983-84. My quali fications for the position of President are as follows . - I was the Sterling Hall representative to the council in 1981-82. During part of that year, I was the IRHC representative to COPUS. That position included both active membership in COPUS and liason work between IRHC and COPUS. This past year, 1982-83, I've held the position of Recording Secretary for IRHC. I am also currently a member of the Student Center Board. Part of my responsibilities to that position include making the Student Center Board report at the IRHC meetings. Also, I have tam important is.,;ues that need to he addressed by the next administration, and it i~ upon these issues that I base my platform. The first issue I wish to ,address, is one that I feel is of the _greatest importance. That is, I strongly feel that IRHC needs to be, in some way, revitalired. No one is to blame for the poor attendance at IRHC meetings, or the apparant Jack of interest in expressing views, but this implies to me, that IRHC may be declining in its role on this campus. I would very much like to see this chan~. I really want to see better attended ineetin~s and _great: er· overall participation and enthus .. iasm in this organization. The obvious question is, how does one accomplish this task? I may be mistaken, but I feel that part of the problem is due to you the students, not really knowing the purpose of this organization. Thus I feel it to be very important that all resident students arc aware of what the lnter-Resi· dence Hall Council works for. The major function of IRHC, is to deal 'with the concerns of resident students, and to present those con cerns to the administration . It other function is to develop and administer residence hall policy in conjunction with the Student Affairs Council; more simply this means if resident students have any complaints with campus life, I want to hear them, and I fromise I will make the best effort can to rectify the problem. I feel a second possible reason as to the poor attendance at meetin.~. is that the topics discussed at meet ings may often be repetitive and not really what the students feel are important. H I am elected I would examine the possibility of having IRHC meetings held every other week, instead of weekly, and if it is found to be feasible, I would move to change this format. With this statement I do not want to be mistaken a~ believing that the topic-s been a m ,mber of AFROTC for the past two years. Finally, as a ,·0m munications major, I have had experience in dealing with people and in speaking in public situations. All of the above show that I not only have a good knowledge of the current school policies and affairs, but I also have the varied experi ence that this position demands . As President of IRHC, many issues would be of concern to me. First on this list is Parking. H I'm elected, I plan on establishing a new distribution system. This would start with a perforated application with the permits given out by student number. This would eliminate •he problem of favoritism in the awarding of permits, since the permits would be decided without knowing who the applicants are until the final decisions are made. Included in the applica- , tion would be a photostat of the registration with ownership Hmite<l to the student or their family, except for special individual situations. When the list of those who are awarded are posted, it will probably ind uc.lc a Hst ot categories stating whv the pe9ple received permits , with the appropriate category listed next to their name. The categories would be along the lines of: personal, school related, work related and other. I would also have the decision as to who gets permits be made after the first week of classes in order to let the nursing students get their clinical assignments and set up carpools. I am also planning on instituting a point system . Points would be given ior the reasons a permit is_ required, ·- ' ' disntssed at meetings are not import ant . but I want i_t known that · I _k>el that there may not be enough important issues to warrant a-meet ing every week . Along the same Jin~· of the statement above,. is that I not only want the resident students to know what is happening on campus, but I also want to know what their feelings are on these issues. Some topics that might be included are. the phasing out of outside dorms (e.g .• Gore , Barre. Dana), the standard meal plan, and vandalism . If the resident students disagree.· with an administrative policy or , decision, like I said previously. I want to know, and even though I may not · agree with the students view. I would certainly see to it that the administration is made aware of them . Another topic that ha, heen brought up is parking. H I am elected, I will set up a committee. with each of the major areas of parking sticker receivers being rep - in terms of miles traveled, whether or not public transportation is available and if you are carpooling (including the amount of people in the carp<;<?I), among other things. Also , I d like to look into the situation for student teachers, since they are off campus during most of the towing hours. Also, I'd like to look into the feasibility of charging those people who receive permits a nominal fee that would be used to subsidize those people who were not able to receive permits, but would have if we had more spots. Finally , I would try to get the Gore parking spots awarded to IRHC. My second concern is attendance at IRHC meetings. I would like to continue the Hall of the Month program, because I believe it is an attendance incentive, I would also like to make attendance mandatory, with only one absence in the semester, for a residence hall to be eligible to be nominated for Hall of the Month. I am planning to continue our school's association with the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH). -This will include a constant submitting of any new and/or different programs that are instituted at this school by both residence hall students and by IRHC itself. I will also encourage the participation of regular residence hall students , as well as council members , in delegations to the NACURH conferences. The conferences themselves will be attended by the largest delegation possible, since our school profits from the informati0n brought back from those cnnterences. I would also like to work more closely with Commuter Council. Toprriost on my priority list is the establishment of a joint apartment committee. This committee would assist both students moving off campus and students who commute or · have apartments who want to move on campus. I planning on continuing the Freshman Follies program, since this program has been found to be a viahle alternative to Habng. I would iike m see the prire cate gory expanded to include such things as creativity of act and number of people involved (both freshmen and the number of upperclassmen involved in the planning, if that is possible). I am also concerned with the current elections procedures for the IRHC officers. I would like to see IRHC follow the procedure used by both SG and CC. The procedure I'm proposing elects all the officers. except for the President, from the current body of those councils. As part of this , I would like to include the appointing of the Parliamentarian from - the body itself. To be eligible to be elected, I'd like to see the requirements of a one year minimum on IRHC with_ the legal amount of absences. There should be no exceptions to that rule. I am concerned with the Executive Council itself. I would like to see the Corresponding Secretary do more work. Her increased duties would basically be active correspondance with the other members of NACURH, especially those in our basic area. This way, we could possiblv combine transportation to resented, so that a strict but lair JYdrking sticker selection system can he developed. I would also work my hardest to get the parking lots . being made from the tearing down of Gore and Dana. for resident student parking. a~ well as working toward~ getting the Denison lot back . I would also like to continue to provide th e students with the many soriai activities that IRHC currently sponsors. as well as possihlv adding some new ones. One idea I have that ha,; come up. is to spnsnr a bus to New York and/or Philadelphia for Thanksgiving and/or . Spring Breaks. so that students could 1-,ret home more cheaply and easily. Finallv . I conclude in saving. although I surely haven't totiched upon every isse. I feel I have focused on the most important ones. and I strongly feel that in order for lRHC to accomplish anvthing next year. strong l1 •adrr,hip is necessary: leader,h ip I hal I can prn vid«•. Thank You. Alan Melusen conferences. A combining of transportation would both cut our costs for the conferences and lead to the meeting of more people. I would also like to see the Corresponding Secretary cover for the Recording Secretary in terms of doing minutes and agendas on those occasions when the Recording Secretary is on limited amounts of time. I would like to see the Vice President run approximately one meeting every _two months or so. This would give the Vice President needed speaking expereince , and lead to less problems in the case of the Presi dent having to step down or not being able to attend a meeting for any reason. Another one of my concerns is with the residence halls. I would like to investigate the feasibility of the installation of water fountains in the outer dorms . I would also like to check into the feasibility of giving both Founders Hall and Pickering Hall more homey atmospheres. This would include such things along the lines of painting the hallways to remove some of the institutional atmosphere that many people find objectionable. Again , these proposals would be instigated only if they are deemed feasible . The above essay contains my platform for the office of InterResidence Hall Council President . It states my qualifications for the position and what I would like to do with that position in order to hopefully improve life here for the dorm students. Thank You, Naomi K.

The terroi-_ists responded by apologizing and then proceeded to pump Pringle so full of lead that all that was left when the smoke cleared was a mass of runny pulp.

A recent technologocal breakthro ugh , the "bubhle chip''. may soon revol utionize th e computer industry. Wh ereas rrian . po rt able computers weigh as rnu ..:h as 25 pounds, those with hubble memory can weigh up to 10 pounds"br less. Telegram recently introduced the Portabubble 81, a microcomputer weighing in at a mere 15 pounds. Bubble technology is not an entirely new phenomenon. Bell Labs first discovered the possibility of using tiny, magnetized cylinders to store information in 1966. By 19 71 , this technique had advanced sufficiently to be introduced to the industry. Since that time , the principle of the bubble has not changed much, although business attitudes toward it have. Once considered too costly for popular marketing, bubbles are enjoying ~ rather extensive comeback. Early in its development, bubble memory was hai led as a replacement for conventional disk drives. Disk drives (and, in some cases , ordinary cassette~ are hooked up to may smaller computers so that information can · be stored using magnetic tapes or disks. By replacing this met hod with the bubble. information can be stored more efficiently and compactly. The bubble itself consists of a thin film of garnet onto which metallic tracks are etched . The film is then encompassed by two magnetized wire coils. Electric currents directed th rough the device produce streams of bubbles which follow the tracks on the film. The com puter can then split the tracks in two, one section travelling to the main memory while the other proceeds to an "output track." The computer reads th is track , record ing a one where it senses a bubble and a zero where it detects not hing. Thus , the, original binary storage system is maintained. Although bubble memory may seem impossibly complicated, it is actually an important simplification . Yards of tape and inches of disk can be replaced by a chip no bigger than a contact lens. In ad · dition to its obvious value in terms of convenience, the buhhle has proven itself to be much more rug ged than other memory storage devices. Because of this feature, the Portabubble is widely used by reporters , ' geologists, travelling salesmen , and other professionals whose mobility requires both efficiency and portability. Now that bubble chips are less expensive (though few experts expect their prices to compare with disk-storage models) both production and sales are on the rise. Telegram has launched , in addition to its Portabubble , a personal model that weighs 10 pounds. Apple II has recently in troduced a bubble circuit board to replace its disk drive, and Grid Systems has developed a model so compact that it "literally fits into •a briefcase." It would seem that this new technology; once clubbed ''The Computer Bubble That Burst " is destined to occupy an im portant, if limited , place in the computer world. .. f. ·. : ,r •:\. 1 · • ,{. • , . ,. , ~:~ ~ \ ~' , ..~~ ~ l." ,;11 {) 'fi~~(, "·(~. f ,'.( ONLY 99¢ el WITH PURCHASE OF A PEPSI & PEPSI-COLA ore registered trademarks · of PepsiCo.

Proper Pe rspeeti ve................~.......................:..·•-··········-············..·······-- by Stuart Kall Rhetoric. rheto ric, rhetoric . There are certainly two sides to every issue. Though I don't feed the pigeons on Public Square, I do discuss politics, and take issues with Stephen Urbanski and James Haggerty's Conservative Comment of three weeks ago. Their blind adoration of President Ronald Reagan, and defense of James Watt, secretary of the Interior, only strengthen my need for rebutal. Mr. Haggerty and Mr. Urbanski feel that President Reagan is bravely and steadily leading us out of the recession. Actually , with unemployment at an incredibly high rate, and with a fiscal deficit of over $200 billion (for the next five years), economic recovery is hardly "around the corner," or possible at all, under Reaganomics. Only blind loyalty to Reagan could account for someone's defending of Reagan's insane defense expenditures. Mr. Urbanski says that our current level of social spending the stuff that puts us through school, for one . thingis "truly outrageous." Ac.1ually, the United States' social welfare expenditures are less , as a percentage of GNP, than most other nations. Reagan continues to pour billions into an overloaded defense budget, while the country's most important and valuable resources--educat - Reagan Administration .

Mr. Urbanski speaks of econom ic recovery . hut little was accomplished by Reagan.

For one thing, it is not true that Watt's biggest supporters are Congressmen. The Sierra Oub is not the only group calling for replacement . The people who brought about the dismissal of Ms . Anne Burford , as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, (some of them prominent congress- men) , are concerned about the environment and the damage being inflicted upon it by Mr. Watt, and others in the current administration . As for our immediate danger as a naticm in the face of a strong Soviet Union, Mr. Orbanski feels that our situation is like that of a football team in the Super Bowl. He feels that the Soviets would rath er face a weaker foe than a stronger foe. All right then, why would the Soviets wait for us to build up? Thev con_tinue to boost their modes of defense and modcmi7.<· their forces, at at least the rate we're updating our forces . So, what's the real point? Our country, and our interior suffers while Mr. Reagan runs rampant in _Washington. Around the time of his inauguration, he claimed the Soviets are an out-of-date, weakening foe , whose day had already come and gone. Why then all this defense hoopla now? There seems to be at least one inconsistency here. Come on, Conservative Com ment writers, these are real. pertinent issues , not little loot ball games, and unimportant gibherish. Reagan comes off as very cocky and brash to the Soviets . whom he now claims are overpowering foes. Is this wise? Life after a fottball game is tough , but nothing we all can't handle. Life after nuclear war is unspeakable , and the Reagan Administration is now whispering about "extended nuclear war." I wonder if that 's possible? .,------~----.-------.

The Colonels' Baseball team will open their 1983 season tomorrow with a double header against Division II Kutztown State at Kutztown. Wilkes has a strong offensive attack, but their pitching is a bit uncertain. Second year Head Coach Bob Duliba said, "Our hitting will be there, but we're going to live and die with our pitching." The Colonels' mound staff is made up of seven players lead by Rick Scheaffer and Rich Geffert. Junior Gene Nosovitch is expected to handle relief duty coming out of the bullpen. Team Captain Ken Sorick will handle duties behind the plate. Senior Ted Komorosky will be fielding grounders on the home side of the diamond. At the other corner is · three-year starting third"' baseman Ned Sandercock. Speaking of Sandercock, Duliba said, "Ned is Ned, he is just plain solid, he always has been.'' Dale Englehart will handle things at second base for the Colonels. Two transfer students will shore up the Wilkes defense along with providing offensive punch. John Good, a transfer from Delaware, is at shortstop for the Colonels. Good is an excellent fielder and has betterthan-average speed on the base pads. Dave Kerdesky came to Wilkes form Lycoming College and will be in center for the blue and gold . Duliba said, "Dave is going to help us a lot. He's got good speed and a strong arm, he's also a lefty, something we really needed . '' Two sophomores, Ed Domzalski and Scott Pryor, round out the outfield for Wilkes. Duliba thinks the Colonels will definitely improve on last season's 13-13 record. "Last year we made over 100 errors, sure you're going to make errors but that's just too many," He said, "This year our defense has been tightened up." The Colonels have been taking advantage of the good weather and have been able to play exhibition games against Luzerne County Community College and Penn State . -- Lehman. "So far I can't complain, The pitching has been super,'' Duliba said, "We've been bombing these teams, sometimes by 18 runs." Duliba said that he realizes that these teams are not of the quality of those Wilkes will face in the Middle Atlantic Conference, but the expe-· rience has enabled his pitchers to seven innings. The Colonels are probably in the toughest division in the MAC, going up against Juniata and powerhouse Elizabethtown. Duliba said, "I think we are far ahead of everyone else at this point, but we'll find out what we're made of on Saturday." Scheaffer and Geffert will get the mound assignments for the Colonels' twinbill. Head Coach Bob Dubila looks on as the Colonels practice their play at the plate. Tennis Team Hopes To End Losing Streak by Chris Baton , . . Although the 1982 men s tenms season did not prove to be productive for the College , the 1983 Colonels are out to open a few eyes . Under first-year coach Dave Smith the Wilkes netmen are out to avenge last year's 0-9 season. Smith said "I'm not going to make any predictions, but I hope we don't turn in another 0-for season." He continued, "I don't care if we don't win a match as long as the players improve with each match." . Before coming to Wilkes, Smith served as a coach at Wyoming Valley West School High School, while teaching at Lake Lehman. Last year he compiled a 27-7 combined record while coaching both the men's and women's squads. Smith sees some differences between high school and college coaching. "It's nice not having to teach basics as much and when I do I don't have to pound it into their heads,'' he said. " Here I can concentrate more on teaching the players how to use their heads. '' Although it's too early to name a starting team, Smith does have three of his six singles starters picked. Co-captains Tom Swirbel and Jim Harnen, along with Navil Arnaout, are three definite starters. The return of Swirbel contributes to the optimistic outlook for the 1983 season. Swirbel, while starting at the number two singles position in his freshman yc:ar, left Wilkes last Reese Announces Improved Soc·cer Slate Athletic Director John Reese recently released the 1983 soccer schedule. Next season the Colonel Booters will play a 19-game schedule that includes two Division I opponents, a Division II foe.a weekend tournament in Virginia and three Middle Atlantic Conference Division champions. The campaign opens at home on September 13 against the University of Scranton . The Royals have finished in the " final four" of Division III the past two seasons. Over the fall break in October, Wilkes will be involved in a fourteam tournament at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg , Virginia. In first round action the Colonels will take on the Division I Hokies of Virginia Tech. Coach Phil Wingert served as assistant at Tech in 1981 82, assisting the Hokies to their best season ever and a berth in the Virgin•ia State Division I championshi p.

Six singles players and three doubles teams are put on the court for each match . Smith said that any of the other players he has seen have the ability to fill the remaining spots on the team. He said, " Most of the guys I've seen are average Division III players and the starting lineup will probably change as the season progresses.''

' The Colonels have been aided by . a talented group of incoming freshmen an d have only lost a few players . by Chris Baron •If you have .never tried ·y our· hand at the sport of golf, consider yourself lucky . If anyone suggests that you try this frustrating game, I urge you to take a nine iron and wrap it firmly around their neck. Golf is probably the most infuriating sport on .the face of the earth, but it is also addictive. If yo u try it once you are hooked for life. Woodrow Wilson describep golf best when he called it "an attempt to place a small little sphere . .. in a slightly larger hole . . . with utensils totally unsuitable to the task ." In an effort to discourage anyone from trying -this useless sport, I will em part one of my many horror stories about golf. No golfer can ever forget his first time on the links. The memory of my first time on a golf course will remain forever burned in my mind. It was a picture-perfect, summer, Sunday afternoon. A friend , or should I say an ex-friend, persuaded me to waste this beautiful day playing a "gentleman's sport." . As we approached the first tee, I noticed three teenage girls, clad in cute terry cloth shorts, waiting to tee off. My partner was quick to ask these young ladies if we could play through, in order to move things along quicker. I thought to myself, 'Silly women, what are they doing out here? They probably don ' t have enough strength to hit a ball five yards.' I didn't realize the size of one's arms has little to do with how far you can propell that t iny ball. The plan was thaf they would tee-off first, then we would drive and walk out in front of them. They agreed to this arrangement. This particular hole had a small pond directly in front of the tee. Any moron could knock a ball over this small body of water, any moron, except myself of course. The first female Jack Nicklaus carried her 120 pounds up to her ball and hit a perfect drive 200 yards down the middle of the fairway. I began to feel a bit uneasy when her two companions followed with similar success .. My colleague hit a respectable drive, but even his didn't travel as far as the first young lady's. I stepped up to my ball with the utmost confidence. I whispered, ''I hope I don't hit it past the pin, after all, I can bench press 300 pounds. I just might tear the cover off this little sphere." The club went back and there was a swoosh as it cut through the air. As I looked out to the fairway in front of me I realized that I hadn't heard the sound of the club hitting the ball. If you can picture the color of a stop sign then you've got a pretty good idea of how my face looked as these three adolescent cuties giggled behind me. I reared back again and this time the ball was air born , along with a large chunk of turf. The divot went considerably further than the ball. When a golf ball hits water it makes an amusing sound. The plunk of my ball hitting the surface of the pond put these three women in-to a fit of girlish laughter . . Eeeling about the size of a tee, I made another effort. This time the ball skimmed along the water like a cruise missile, lodging in the mud bank on the far side of.the pond. This sounds like great fun doesn't it? What a way to relax. This is onl y the,beginning of what becomes a life long exercise in frustration. The game of golf has some unknown force which draws you back to the links week afttir week, while you continue to hack through each agonizing round. After each round you swear that you will never play golf again. Maybe I shouldn't be so critical of this gentleman's sport. After all , it does have some redeeming qualities. It helps to expand your vocabulary . If you think you've heard every spoken profanity , then. think again . Golf can turn a religious pillar of the community into a raging maniac belching torth an ever-expanding series of curses. It also sharpens yo ur reaction time as you dodge balls hit by linksters who play the sport as bad as you do . Golf also teaches one how to lie about his score once he gets into the club house. A bad day on the links gives you a perfect excuse to get mildl y drunk in th e country club bar, which is a necessary part of any good cou rse. Golf is also good for the national economy. Do you' know what the largest industry in the United States is? It 's not aut omobiles or computers; it's the prod uction of golf balls. These expensive little spheres have an uncanny-kn ack for get ting lost, sometimes in the middle of the fairway . Now there are those few individuals who have managed to master thi s irritating game and the rest of us duffers hate them with all our hearts . Even now, as I remember my experiences wit h this rotten game , I begin to get an urge to start anot her season of frustrat ion . .1983 BASEBALL SCHEDULE 1983 GOLF SCHEDULE ROLLIE SCH~IDT, 00,ACH Fri., Mar. 25 Muhlenberg/ King's Al:00 Wed., Mar. 30 Lycoming/Ursinus H2:00 Thurs., Apr. 7 Upsala/Scranton Al:00 Mon., Apr.11 King's H2:00 Thurs., Apr. 14 Moravian · Al:00 Mon., Apr. 18 · Susquehanna/Scran.

This question is occupying the minds of the coach, the players , the fans, and the opposing players and coaches . In 1982, Nancy Robem' Lady Colonel softball team made Wilkes College athletic history by capturing this institution's first-ever women's Middle Atlantic Conference title . It is always tougher to do it the second time around, but this year's team is more than ready to meet the challenge. Last year few people , an""d possibly not even the players themselves, expected the Lady Colonels to accomplish what they did . However, this year this is different. Robem provided the following insight into what she expects this year: "We were a surprise last year. We will no longer be in the underdog role . Everybody will be gunning for us . We are the team to beat." Being a surprise and an underdog last year resulted in little pressure on the team . No one expected such excellence. However, now the expectations are high, and the pressure is on. Testimony to this is provided in the March 9, 1983 issue of The NCAA News, the official publication of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. In an article previewing the upcoming national Division III softball season, the Lady Colonels are mentioned along with the Lady Royals of Scranton as the two best teams in the Mideast region . Players who received individual recognition in the article are sophomore pitcher Sue Schwartz, senior catcher Karen Johnson, and junior ourfielder Karen Bove. Last year on the mound, ~hwartz, a native of Glen Lyon and a graduate of Nanticoke, compiled a - 13-7 overall record and a 2.30 ERA. Sue received post season honors as a . member. of both the NPWIAA (Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association) All Conference and.the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division All-Star teams. Johnson, a native of Bloomsburg and a graduate of Central Columbia High School, batted a team leading .485 and also posted team leading figures in homeruns (7) and RIBs . (37). Her batting average was good for second in the nation. Johnson also received post season recognition a member of both the NPWIAA and MAC All-Star teams. Karen Bove, a native of Berwick and graduate of that town's high school, was named to the MAC AllStar team. In years past the Lady Colonels would be especially inspired to play such traditionally powerful teams as Elizabethtown, Susquehanna, and .Scranton; but now these teams will be especially psyched to play the Lady Colonels. · Despite all of the high expectations and pressure , Roberts is confident that her team will be able to repeat as MAC champions: "It will be real hard, but we have the talent • and the attitude to do it again. There is 'a very good chance that we will do it again. ' ' And do they ever have the talent! Not one to sit on her laurels, Roberts did a tremendous amount of recruiting last year and was rewarded with a number of talented freshman .players to add to her already stellar group . as Hurst Receives Her Second MAC Award CHARLENE HURST For the second consecutive year, Lady Colonel . cage star Charlene Hurst has made the Middle Atlantic Conference's All-Conference First Team. Only a sophomore, both the n Head Coach Nanc Ro- berts and her assistant Mary Jo Hromchak, are looking forward to having her around for two more" years . Charlene is a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, and she is a native 0fWilki:~-~::.~:c. '!'his spdng she will be playing softball as a member of the Lady Colonel team. As a freshman, she was a member of the 1982 team which won the Middle Atlantic Conference softball title. This past season Charlene was the second leading scorer for Roberts with an 18.6 p/ g. and a total of 354 for the season. · Last year, as a freshman, Charlene led the Lady Colonels in scoring with a 20. 5 p / g. average, and her overall performance earned her a spot on the MAC All-Conference squad . Last year's team only managed a 6-12 overall record, but this past season the record was improved to 10-9 . Thus, it is obvious that Charlene had lots of he! this ear. CAN THEY DO IT AGAIN ? Last Spring the 1982 Lady Colonel softball team posed for this informal team photograph after they won the College 's first ever women 's Midclle Atlantic Con ference title. With these veterans and some new cast members, Head Coach Nancy Roberts' team will be looking to repeat as champions in 1983.

Scheduled for April 21 in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts lecture, open to the public, will begin at 7:45 p.m . With 31 years of experience as an NBC news correspondent, there is very little that Edwin Newman has not done in the field of broadcast journalism. Whether reporting from a foreign country (at last count he had been in 35 for NBC News), anchoring documentaries that span an entire evening of prime-time television , anchoring 'instant news specials' devoted to late breaking news events, or delivering a once-a-week essay on the Today progtam, Newman has consistently demonstrated . his versatility as a journalist. Newman anchored, in New York, the extensive NBC News special coverage of the attempted assassination 0£ President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. He was the reporter on Pleasure Drugs: The Great American High, and NBC White Paper which examined how the drug habits of the 1960's counter-culture have moved rapidly into the mainstream of America's middle class . In May of 1981, he was the reporter on the NBC Repons program Just Plain Folks . . . The Billionaire Hunts, which profiled the Hunt famil y of Texas . In September, 1979, he reported on the NBC White Paper No More Vietnams, But . .. , an examination of oil and American power in the Middle East. Newman has covered seven sets of national political conventions and four world's fairs for NBC News . Based in New York since 1961, he has been the host of Today numerous times and has made many appearances on Meet the Press. His radio commentaries won a Peabody Award in 1967 . Newman has served for extended periods in several of NBC News' foreign bureaus : from 1952-5 7 he was in London ; he spent two years as bu reau chief in Rome (1957-58); and headed the office in Paris ( 19 58-61). In 1975 he was granted the first exclusive interview ever given to a journalist by the emperor of Japan . In 1976 he was moderator of the first Ford-Carter presidential television debate . The NBC news correspondent has gained considerable recognition as a watch dog of English usage. His two books , on the subject, Strictly Speaking: Will America Be the Death of English ? and A Civil Tongue, were national best sellers. Sunday Punch, a comic novel he authored , was published in 1979 . Newman is currently the anchor of NBC News Capsule on weekends which updates viewers on the news of the day. The Wilkes Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities was established in 1981 by the family and friends of The Honorable Max Rosenn , Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals . Last year, in the first lecture of the series, Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis presented a lecture on "Enforcing our Rights." by Sean P. Connolly BYE BYE HOLLENBACK. The Housing Office recentl v ' announced that Hollenback and Chapman Halls will be closed at the end of the semester. _ __ _..· Hollenback and Chapman resi dent halls will be closed next semester because of too many vacancies in Wilkes' dormitories, according to J ean Adams, assistant director of housing. , "You can't run a system with that many openings," said Adams. She added that there are 120 vacancies this semester . Adams explai ned that freshman enrollment is low and that there are fewer women in the classes. Hol lenback and Chapman are both women's dorms. '' By closing Hollenback and Chapman we are moving the few est people. If we close a guy's dorm we could be moving as many as 60 ," reported Adams. Together, the two dorms house 32 people with 22 to be rel ocated next semester. One of the reasons for the vacancies was the opening of Founders Hall which added 171 living spaces said Jay Tucker , director of the Student Center. Tucker said the main reason for Founders was to get out of the Hotel Sterling. The Hotel Sterling housed approximately 100 people last year. Tucker said that H ollenback and Chapman are considered to be properties. '' One possibility that is being considered is· renting out the dorms. If the college ever needs them, they could be reserviccd." Edwin Newman stated Tucker. Both dorms would probably be used as office space. He added that the renting or sale of Chapman would probably be contained in a deal concerning Parrish Hal l. Though a drop in enrollment was expected , Tucker said the act ual number is higher than predicted: " Admissions says the statistics are up, but for the future, yo u can 't reall y predict." Gore and Dana Halls, formerly housi ng 38 people were closed at the end of the 1982 fall semester. The reason for closing the dorms was also attributed to a drop in enrollme nt. In an earlier interview. Paul Adams, di rector of housing, said, " We originally thought we co uld sustain all the halls on campus for the entire year, but due to the lower enrollment's effect on the budget, it was necessary to cut hack where we could. ' ' Jean Adams , said that the citv zoning laws were involved in the decision to close Hollenback and Chapman: "The dorms are highly taxable properties, and ther city would like the College to be located mostlv on one block." Adams , 1ate, i that the Housing Office does not Jeal with z.oni ng laws and that she could not comment on zoning decisions. The assistant housing director sa id that two lotteries will be . held to relocate the dormless residents. The first lottery will concern the people of Gore , Dana, Hollenback, and Chapman . They will have first choices of a new do rm . After the people of those dorms have made their choices, the second lottery will be held for all other students who wish to move out of thei r present dorms. " I hope I ~et a good number in the lottery, ' said Lisa Delong, freshman resident of Chapman , " But I still don't really know where togo .'' For Lisa Kerl , sophomore resident of H ollenback Hall, relocating is becoming a famil iar event: '' I lived in Barre last year and they shipped me out. I think it stinks .

I had just been released (both to my own and my professor's relief) from my first class of the day. I was anticipating a leisurely two-hour break that would incorporate serious munching out on that infamous Student Center combo, the soft pretz.el and diet Pepsi. Feeling in a particularlv sociable mood, I decided to cut through Stark Lobby on my way to Conyngham and scope out the action before stuffing my face full of soft, salty pretzel yummies. I fluffed my hair, pulled up my socks, and set out whistling, "She Blinded Me With Science" for lack of a better tune. .. I was expecting to be confronted with the usual Stark Lobby 11 : 00on-a-Thursday-moming sights and sounds: various student bodies prone on or slung over lobby furniture, their hands deeply embedded m bags of Middlesworth potato chips or Dipsy Doodles; creative geometric pillow cushion arrangements in various comers of the room; raucous laughter from a group of males with no necks and wearing black lettermen's jackets; an intimate couple (you' re not supposed to watch, even if they are in the middle of Stark Lobby) ; and so on. T o my surprise . what I found was a virtual beehive of activity . In the center of the room , a voting table was set up by Student Government; there , students could vote for their preferred CC or SG presidential candidate. Along one entire wall were set up booths where blood pressure testing was being conducted . open to an yone who was curious to know if he still had blood pressure. Along another wall was stationed a tahle where students involved in Amnesty International actively sought signatures for petitions and provided literature about their organization. I was really impressed. There were students al I over the place -students voting, students talking , students signing , students getting ''pressurized. ' ' It was great; Stark L~~by was alive. That's actually all I've got to say : I just really was impressed with the life that was breathing through Stark last Thursday, the involvement and the interaction and the interest. It was as if the April life that was springing up outside in the sun ' s warmth was filtering into the student's themselves and everyone was awakening with sud den movements from a winter's doze. Keep up the good work guys ! And Happy Spring! Let's hear it for James Watt, the brilliant legislator whose statements about the artistic tastes of the American public rank right up there with such memorable catch phrases as " free , white . and twenty one, " and such immortal attitudes as the more purel y bred M artha 's V ineyard gin -and-tonic crowd are likely to espouse over afternoon cockta ils. It 's really quite refresh ing to see a mem ber of the political com m unity speak so candidl y about a nat ional concern ; it 's just a shame that the national concern was nothing more important than a Presidential pimic , and that the plain talk reveled such a hideous lack of tolerance, tact , and understanding of the culture Mr. Watt supposedly serves. Y es sir, Mr. W att , you really let those long-haired hippie types know that you're not out to tolerate an y of this reveal -the-masses-for-what-they-are nonsense . It' s about time someone told those (ugh) rock and rollers where to get off. But let 's talk turkey here for a minute , Mr. Watt. Did you know that most of the Beach Boys are nearly as old as yo u are? Th at they represent one of the calmest (rockers say "mellowest" ) most longestablished , most clean-cut and wholesome images and sounds of the recording industry.? Mr. Watt . d id yo u know that my seventy-one year old grandmother likes the Beach Boys? It seems frightening when persons who wield political power or influence begin using phrases like " the right kind of people " and " the wrong element." What often begins as a well-intentioned attempt to preserve a particular tvpt· of cultural image or heritage can evolve easily into an intolerant antagonism toward all that is novel or unfamiliar (' 'From a feeble cosmopolite I had turned into a fanatical anti-Semite" -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf) . Perhaps , Mr. Watt , your tastes are not ours after all. As part of "the wrong elem ent. " I suggest that Y,OU open your eyes and your ears and learn tc: understand y0 ur own culture. Perhaps then you could open your mmd . ~ L. Taha 1982 "Okay , you can let her go boys. It was only a metal cigarette case.

April 15, 1983 Theatre Production Satirizes English Society Moralists beware: " a bedroom fa rce " is how director Jay Sigfried characterizes the Wilkes College theatre's final production of this season. The play, The Country Wife, is-a-Restoration drama written Just a reminder--Cherry1 Blossom Weekend is set for April 28-May I. Start organizing your team now. · DRABBLE@ by Kevin Fagan by William Wycherley, and will be performed April 22, 23, and 24 in the Center for the Performing Arts. The Country Wife is a satiric comedy, a play that exposes the underlying hypocric.y, repressed de sires, and foolish jealousies of those in English society. The many references to London life set the play unmistakenly in Restoration England in the 1670's , yet the irony and witty dialogue deep the play in the realm of intellectual comedy. As with other plays of this mode (as with , for example, some plays of Wilde and Moliere), sexual intrigut-, innuendo, and double entendrc spice and determine the play '.s action. One of the main characters, Mr. Horner, is a '' maker of cuckolds'' who hits upon a plan to feign impotence, convi nce the married male mem bers of thr socirt ·1 that he is a eunich and thrrPhv avoid all suspicion when he consorts lewdly with their wives. Homer 's consequent sexual escapades provide the setting for bawdy yet wi tty dialogue an d action between himself and the clever and sensual women like Mrs. Fidget, an d pointedly illustrate the hypocritical concern for reputation that determines the actions of the "most proper" Mrs. Squeamish and Mrs. Dainty Fidget . Homer's scheme indicates one of Wycherley's central themes in the play, the conflict between appearance and reality, for characters are often not of the _moral qualitv that they pretend, and their actions often expose their intentional or unintentional lapses into hypo critical or amoral behavior Con - trasted to these characters is the virtuous Alithea , a yo ung girl who is both genuine in her affections and honest in her desires . This conflict between what is oresented as truth and what is act'.!a! fact also undercuts much of what modern audiences could understand as an anti-feminist attitude in the play . The Country Wife is riddled with remarks like that of Horn er when he observes that ''nothing makes a man hate a woman more than her constant conversation," or that of Mr. Pinchwife when he notes that "good wives and pri vate soldiers should be ignorant .' ' Modern audiences can understand the superficial glaze of hypocrisy, i.e. manners, that society has forc ed upon men and women's person alities as the "appearance" that warps men..,s and women's perceptions in this way . However, the inconsistency , tf men as well as women is ridiculed in thC' play, as when Harcourt 1101" ' th at "most men are the cont ra ri e\ to what they should seem." Wom en are not the only targets of sati re ; Pinch wife cuts a ridiculous fig ure a~ !he jealous husband who tries to keep his wife ignorant and subserv ient , while depriving her of the sat-. isfactions of both the city and the bedroom. Sir Jasper is a gullible fool, so emeshed in business con'cerns that he is blind to his wife's infidelities with Horner. All in all, the final performance for the Wilkes Theatre promises to be an entertaining one. Curtain times for The Country Wife are 8 p.m . on Friday and Saturday.,. and 2 p.m . on Sunday. The box office will be open on Monday, April 18, and hours will run from lO a.m. to 4 p.m. Wilkes students will he able to obtain two free tickets with their student IDs.

This pasr poll was able to register a -total of 251 respondents. . lookin..,g at the results from the . firsrquest1on, we can clearly see that more sophomores responded to the poll than any other class. Overall, there was a fairly good mix of all four classes which would generally be expected for a representative survey to be conducted . The results for the second question reveal that a slightly large, percentage of those responding considered themselves to be Democrats as opposed to Republicans. However, the percentage of people who appeared to not be committed -to any political party was fairly significant (2•1. ~0 percent). Tl,e opinion poll also revealed that the majority of respondents were from the middle class (60.56 percent) and 20 .32 percent considered themselves to be from the working class while just 18 . 73 percent from the upper class. It appears that when looking at the results from the fourth question , most students and their families (44 .40 percent ) are in a sirniliar financial cond irio n now as opposed to one yea r age• Of :!,, 1cmalning responciencs, more students (31.20 pern :,.,: are worse off now while oni y it,s than one quarter of all the .

In addi tion . any individual who ea ts the entire pizza hi mself and ,, hn is sponsored by Wilkes will respondents' families (24 .40 perce1;1t) consider themselves to be in a better financial posirion ·now as opposed to last year. Looking at the results for the fifth question , only a combined 44 .80 peftent of -the- -·respondrnt.s fe~ l Ronald Reagan is doing a fine job as president. At the opposite end of the spectrum , however, a combined 55. 20 percent believe that Reagan is simply not handling his job properly. Glancing at the sixth question, we see that student attitudes W!!re sharply divided as to which level of govc--r nmc--nt theyhave more faith toward . We suspect that had there bec:-n a fourth answer, none of the above, that this would have; been the most popular - by far. However, as it turned out, 37.96 percent had more faith in the state levels as opposed to 33.47 percent responding to the federal level and 27. 76 percent answering the local level. Perhaps the most controversial question on the opinion poll was the issue of when abortions are to be allowed . By far, more people (41.60 percent) believed that a woman should be allowed to exercise h.er own personal choice whether or not to receive an abortion. The second most popular answer for this question was when there was definite life in· danger (30 percent). Interestingly, more people (14.49 percent) believed that abortions should never Abortion Gyn~~ liminate Procrastination 11••~••1 f test anxiety overweight, smoking Improve Memory, concentration grades Enhance Athletics & creativity . .. and much more Birth Control .an..••••.... tirement. More people ( 31. 73 percent) slightly favored the Wilkes Student Government than did oppose (29. 72 percent). However, out of all those responding , more people (38 . 55 percent) did not wish to form an opinion on the question . The tenth question on the poll dealt with an issue of much concern .on this campus - the Wilkes tenure process. Only 2 percent of those responding strongly approved while just 22.40 percent approved. Most peopl_e (44 .80 percent) disapproved of the current tenure process whereas another 28.40 percent disar,pr6ved strongly. ' Such 'large percentage~ indicate that perhaps ,!.,.

Coupled with the terri ble start is a rash of injuries to top players on 1he squad. The Colonels opened the season with a 7-2 loss to Juniata. The Juniata m atch was the best perform ance t he Colonels have turn ed in . Wilkes dropped its next three m atc hes to Ursinas, Scranton Colonel Rick Sposto returns a shot during singles action ~a turday at Ralston Field. and Elizabethtown by identical scores of n in e-zip. While the Colonels were being pounded ·on the cou rt, the team be gan to come down with a variety of injuries.

The NHL has 21 teams and all but five of chem make it to post-season play. Teams like St . Louis , with only 25 wins, are being given a shot at the Stanley Cup. The reason behind this tournament style arrangement is obviously the profit motive . With almost every team in the playoffs , the profits are certainly greater than if only the division winners were to square off for the title. What the league doesn 't realize is that the public is not fooled by chis ploy and that in the long run the image and integrity of the league will suffer. The NHL is being run like a college intramural league. Allc•ving almost anyone to participate in the playoff is fine if your dealing with a bar-room beer league but the NHL is a professional orga01zauon . * * ** * " Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four H orsemen rode again ." That line , written by the late Grantland Rice is probably the single most famous phrase in the history of spores journalism. Rice was Jescribing the October 19, 1924 game.: between Army and Notre Dame . Rice 's story about the four men in the 1924 Notre Dame backfield made each one of them legends. Even the most unenthusiastic sports fan has heard of the four ho rsemen of Notre Dame . A few years ago I was seated at the bar of my favorite neighborhood watering hole in my home town of Scranton . An elderly, welf d ressed man walked in and ordered a shot and a beer. A friend elbowed me and said, " D o you know who that is?" I had no idea . " That's Jim Crowley, the last surviving member of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame," he informed me. I felt awed by the fact that I was sipping suds in the company of an immortal. Mr. Crowley, now in his 80 's, still tells stories about the glory years with the Fighting Irish . One of the more amusing stories had to do with Crowley when he was a sophomore quarterback at Notre Dame . The team had a midnight curfew. With that in mind, Crowley left his room at five minutes to 12 and headed for a local t avern. In his travels he came face to face with the university's dean of discipline. The dean asked him if he knew t hat he should be back in his room. Crowley told the Roman Catholic priest, " Noc u'ntil 12 o'clock."

King 's captured first place with a five -man combined score of 434, while Muhlenburg fini shed second , a 439 stroke total. The Colonels ended the day with 449 shot total.

In deference to the infamous male ego, a decision was recently made to lower the basketball nets outside of Pickering Hall. Students can now live out their basketball fan tasies by dunking to their hearts' content. Scott Bruggeworth demonstrates his technique. by Rebecca Whitman Despite attempts by Student Goveni.mem to save the pos.ition of Director of the Student Center Assistant Housing Director, the administration has decided to eliminate this job only two years after it was created. The position is currently held by Jay Tucker; however, the College administration had planned all semester to absorb the position at the end of the school year. Citing financial reasons , President Capin reported that both the job of Tucker and the position of media coordinator would be eliminated. . In an effort to save the director of student center - assistant housing director position , SG President Elaine Kerchusky went to the administration with a plan that stated that by raising the student activity fee $2 a semester, SG would be able to pay half the salary of the job. · This offer was rejected . Students involved in the Student Center had various reactions to the administration's decision . Naomi Harris, mem ber of the Student Center Board , saw the decision as shortsighted . "The Student Center will revert back to the way it used to be; I'm afraid nothing will get done," stated Harris. Another member of the board , Cress Shallers, stated, "The administration appears to be unaware, un- informed and unrealistic about the situation, and the outcome will definitely be negative. l hope I get out of here before this place falls apart." Ralph Pringle had a more optimistic view, "I think there will be an added burden on members of the board to try and fill Jay 's shoes but with a little luck and a lot of hard work, we can keep the SCB the way it is." Before Tuckers arrival, the Student Center was run by a board of students : director, personnel direc- tor, treasurer and secretary, and a representative of each of the major student organizations on campus , SG, IRHC and CC. Pringle reported that this is the system the center will go back to. _ In the absence of a director, the SCB will b~ given a faculty advisor. The SCB currently sponsors the school's ski trip!\, white water rafting excur~ions and occasionally other trips including the upcoming trip to Atlantic City. They are also in charge of the Cavern . SG Announces Results . Of Parking uy Rebecca Whitman Results of the examination of the procedures used to allocate oncampus parking spaces by an SG appointed committee have been announced. Elaine Kerchusky, Student Government president, was asked in February to set up a neutral committee of students who would review the present policies. The request came after students, upset because their parking permit had been revoked, demanded an investigation of the perm it allocation procedures and a review of the comm ittee that determined who received the muchsought-aft~r resident student parking spaces. They sighted possible fa- Analysis voritism in the allotment of spaces as their grievance . IRHC had been hesitant to cooperate, at first, citing that the policy on parking had been stiffened that very year because of complaints the year before . Faced with only 37 spaces and 98 applications, this year's committee called some students in an effort to get them to car pool to their destinations.

Apparentl y, there was very poor response to the announcement that applications were available. Interv.iews for the positions had to be cancelled when only two qualified people applied for any of the available editor-ships . Members of this year's Amnicola staff cited poor publicity as one of the reasons no one applied. "I think the only ad we placed was that littlt one in The Beacon, " stated Scot Ellis, Amnicola assistant photography editor.

O ur own galaxy, the Milky Way, appears to be at the tip of a cloud of galaxies extending all the way to an immense cluster of galaxies in the constellation Coma Berenices, near Leo and Bootes. '' In her lecture, Haynes will show how galaxies interact and reveal some of the peculiar things see~ in the ' realm of the galaxies' . Haynes received her B.A. in astronomy and physics from Wellesley College and her M.A. and Ph.D . in astronomy from Indiana University. She was the recipient of the John.

Students taking part in the lottery system for choosing new rooms for the 1983-84 school year must pick a number from this box . This determines in what order they get to choose a room. Two lotteries are being held this year. The first is for those students forced to leave their halls because they were b~ing closed, such as Chapman, Hollenback, Gore and Dana. The second lottery is simply for those students who wish to move to another residence hall.

He added that the relauonship between the city and rhr College is " excellent. " All Wilkes buildings on the three blocks contained within West Northampton Street and West Ross Street and between Wc:,L River, River, and South Franklin Streets are under S- 1 d istrict zoning. The S- 1, or spe,ial purpose zoning, is a special di,trict for educational purposes . The main college ~uild ings by Sean P. Connolly' Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of Management, said that zoning is the city's tool of planning and it m ight have an effect on the future physical area of the College. Shaw said the city is "always" putting pressure on the college to centralize , bur the pressure is not direct . "No one tells us to m ove into the three S-1 blocks, bur there is a PIG ROAST 10 a.m.-?

" ·Parrish , Chapm an , and McClintock H alls are some of the college buildings located on the S-2 block. " If someone offered to buy 1 arrish for the right price, I think the College should sell it ," said Shaw. H e added that if enrollment drops as expected, a more centralized campus could increase "school interaction.'' Shaw defined the description of · "highly taxable properties" at Wi lkes. " None of our properties are taxed. They only have the potential of being taxed if they' re sold,'' said Shaw . He said if Parrish and Chapm an were sold, the city could collect 1 taxes on the buildings which are located in a S-2 d istrict . The general agreement to centralize W ilkes was m ade verbally years ago . Shaw said , " The f!lOVe may happen this year, next year, or in 10 years. I don ' t know. " ,. �~ ~ Editor's Page 4, The Beacon, April 22, 1983 Corner My elbows are freezing . My elbows usualiy are not prone to be antagonistic toward the rest of my anatomy, but for the past two weeks, those little suckers have had a mind of their own; they, along with the entire lengths of my goose-fleshed forearm s, refuse to warm up . I don 't pretend to be ignorant of the cause of this misfortune. The reason my blue-toned epidermis is doing its little Antarctic reaction simulations is simple: for the past two weeks, i-t has been colder than a Congressman 's conscience outside, and inteHigent little me has been decked out in two-year-old spring fashions . I have been mercilessly exposing my elbows to the elements, and they have re.belled . Now, I don 't know about everybody else, but I just sortof assumed that when the fifteenth of April passed by, one could expect td"vvave bye-bye to igloo weather. I was wrong , and I'd just like to say that I don't particularly enjoy driving through fourteen inches of snow just so I can smell the tulips . The tulips aren't too happy about the whele situat ion either (how would like to spend eight months alone in your bed, and only to wake up to a cold shower?). Last Sunday, while visiting parents and soon-to-be fresh men were casually strolling the grounds of Wilkes College on Visitation Day, Wilkes upperclassmen (and women) exploded outdoors to soak up greedily the warm sunshine and mild weather. It seemed that spring antics had offi<-ially begun : virile young men in cut•off jersies proudly exposed bulging bi<:eps to the casual observance of co-eds ; frisbees flew thick and furiously along the River Common , propelled by nimble athletic types wearing shorts and t-shirts ; a few Wilkes TOR (Thighs Daringly Revealed) women , eager t" begin ba~ting themselves early for the Grea:t Summer 'fan, ~ r,ed. lily-white legs to the tepid rays of the spfi,a g sun; joggers wherzed along River Street, self-conscious oft-heir wiater lndres. "What a glorious ~ting day," thQUght I. Ha. Twenty-four hours later, walking to class, I was sloshing my summer-weight pants through six inches of cold rainwater and muttering really obscene things about weathermen who apparently obtained their professional experience from such prestigious institutions as Joe 's Meteorological Prediction Center/Bar, Grill , and Auto Repair. 0 .K., so I know that the T. V. weathermen (weatherpeople?) don 't get their jollies by sitting around decked out in little pointy wizards ' hats and trying to conjure up foul weather to plague mankind and newly washed cars (maybe some meteorologists do , but I' m sure it's on their own time behind closed doors). I know that these hum ble employees of the broadcasting networks who net more income yearly than I' 11 ever see merely report existing weather conditions; they don 't control those conditions . These industrious people nightly display to me colorful charts with names like " Sky Warn Radar," complicated computer thingies that look like graphs given consciousness, and cute little features like " The Great Fish Forecast." Well guys, let me tell ya: I ,really enjoy all the pretty little pictures you draw for me every night, but if you really want to impress me, do something. Don 't just stand there pointing to a florescent video monitor and spouting info about highs and lows , ups and downs, fronts and backs . Give me my tulips back and I'll really be interested. Warm up my elbows, and then we 'll talk. )_{ I • -l ' t ~ "I'm sorry it took me so long to get ready. " Conservative Comment by Stephen K. Urbanski andJamesJ.

On Friday, April 1, 24 students, led by Dr. and Mrs. Mike Case, Dr. Brian Redmond , and Ms. Judy Rasson , embarked on a four-day field study to Assateague Island . Assateague Island is a barrier island situated off the coast of Maryland and Virgin_ia. Often associated with Chincoteague Island, Assateague is a popular vacation spot because of its beautiful beaches and fa mous wild ponies. Less appreciated by tourists (but of great scientific in terest) is the diverse collection of vegetation , wildlife , and geology that the area exhibits. Assateague 's complex environment makes it an ideal site for the study of coastal geology and estuari an biology - precisely the focus of the field study. Students condu'cted specific studies :opics ranging from sand variations and dune profiling to vegetation and wildlife distribution . While carrying out their respective studies , students discovered that Assateague's complex ecosystem owed much to its evolution as an island . Originally, Assateague Island was joined with Ocean City, Marylan<l. Periodic storms ripped inlets in the island . which were subsequently filled by material which was picked up by I l;,l' longshore current and deposited m thevo1d . 1n 1955, a severe storm separated the island into two sectio ns : Ocean City to the nort h and Assateague to the south . This time , nature -was not given the chance to repair the dam age. Jed d ies were constructed between the islands to ca pture the sand before it could be carried down the coast . In th is way, Assateague Island w~ • :solated permanently. (A long-term effect of man 's "wisdom" : severe erosion of Assateague 's coastline , which has receded by more than 1000 feet in the last 35 years). By 1935 , Assateague was established as a separate entity, and the U.S. Government began to examine its feas ibility as a national p ark . It was not until 1965 that official action was taken , and Assateague Island became Assateague National Seashore . Today, the , island boasts the largest flock of wild Snow G eese in the world , a herd of 95 wild ponies, and unusual vegetation such as elephant grass and the loblolly pine . Its flora and fauna have developed special adaptations to life on th e static barrier island. Another diverse ecosystem was visited on Sunday, April 3. The Chincoteague National Wildlifo Refuge , established on the nearby island of Chincoteague , is composed of both coastal beach and wetlands. The area serves as habitat for wildlife such as horseshoe crabs , Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons , and tiny Sika deer. These species represent only a ,mall fraction of the many shellfish, waterfowl, and mamma ls which inhabit the refuge . Biology was hardl y the onl y focus of the trip . Saturday, April 2, was devoted to the study of the dy nami c coastal geology of the area, an d the effec ts of man's interference with it. In and around Ocean City, condomini ti ms built on the primary dune face imminent des truction. Th.e dune serves as a kind of natural " shock absorber " for the impact of severe storms . As the dune m igrates backward , the buildings are left to face the full force of high winds, tides and waves. These buildings could meet the same fa te as several expensive homes the group visited . Built too near the ocean , the hom es were literally destroyed by one powerful storm . Apparently'ignorant of the significance of their coast 's d ynamic nature , residents and developers continue to build in the area . On Monday, April 4, the fiel d study terminated . After one last look at the beautiful coastline, the band returned home . W ith their experience , they had gained an appreciation for the unique en vironment _ of the seashore (as well as an appreciation for hot showers), and a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Note: E.&E .S. field studies are open to all students at Wilkes, re gardless of major. The next field .,tudy, Appalachian Geology, is being planned for Fall Break, 198 3. Student Has A "Blast" At Anti-Nuke Rally by Sean P. Connolly I know what you ' re thinking. Student activist? Nuclear protester? Peace marcher? Me? Uh, no thanks . I'm a business major, you know? I don ' t want to get involved . I felt the same way. Wh y d9 they protest anyway ? I mean the sit-ins, marches , and draft card burnings went out in the '70s. I'm a good American . I like big bombs that protect me and my mother, who incidently makes a great apple pie . I have a career to think about now . I don ' t have time to be out running around making a stink about things I can' t control. It's useless anyway. Isn ' t it? Saturday night I decided to find out for m yself if it is useless . I wanted to know who these people are and what are they trying to d o . I wanted to know if they were sincere or if they were a bu nch of Jesusfreaks or left-over fl ower children or something . So I posrponed m y weekend beer comsum ption for a couple hours and joined their m ovement . I was surprised . W h en I arri ved at Stark 101 to see che film Gods of Metal I was pretty nervous. If you' re like me , you did n 't even notice the ads for the m arch , m ore less fo r the fi lm . 1 was luck y enough to have so meone point them out to me and convince me to attend . There were about 20 people scattered around the room. I thought, "This is great. I'm going to march with 20 , candle-holding people to public square and protest . People will think we're nuts . We'll probably get mugged ." My nervousness turned into panic. The film focused on world hunger and how it could be eliminated if we channelled our money properly. It showed protesters withholding taxes , refusing to register, and causing a scene outside a military installation. It d~a!t with religious and moral aspects of the arms bu ild-up . And it showed some stomachcrawling pictures of people who sur- · vived Hiroshima and Nagasak i. I enjoyed the film . lt "grossed m e out ," but it made me think . I'm convinced that's wha.: coun ts. People should think, and not just passively accept governm ental decisions, especially concerning somethi ng as important as n uclear weapons. After th e fi lm , my anxiety returned . It was too lace . I became one of th em. There was no tu rning back. I was nervous as I lit m y ca ndl e and le :, the protective walls of Stark Lo bby. We walked through Midto wn Plaza and down South Main Stree t. ,, Peo ple hon ked thei r horns, and a carl oad of int oxicated yo uths n 1 istook us fo r Na zis. I thought I was going to fain t. I couldn ' t decide whether to stop and tie my shoe for an hour, turn and make a run for it, or go all the way. When we turned the corner at the Square m y fears disappeared. In front of the bandstand stood at least 400 p eople holdi ng candles and talki ng. I was extremely embarrassed fo r doubting the size of the program , and not realizing tpe dedi - ca uo11 of its supporters. The service was an interfaith program with many religions represented . The King' s College Campus Ministry Folk Group did a little n umber and m ost of the people joined in . Speeches were given by church leaders, an d a coµ ple of prayers were said . The service went well , desp ite a few fros t-bite complai nts. I was surprised it didn't rain like it was supposed to , but ·1 guess someone worked th at om . The p rogram in- spirt:<l me to learn about the arms build-up and to care about it . So , am I going to walk around school with a peace sign on m y fore head , a " no-nukes ' t-shirt on, and a protest sign in m y hand ? 1 don ' t chink so. I do have a different attitude though . If someone asks m y stand on nuclear weapons I won ' t say, " I don't know. Ask someone else. " I'm going to give it . Actuall y, I hope we all get t.h e guts to take a stand , whatever it m ay be. The possi bilities affect all of us. �April 22, 1983, The Beacon, Page 7 C co C) AuiJ~'i5 iE:ME-M0e-f< Do~''f \-E.1 'f"E. ~O~\..O ~E., "{Ou Oowlll, NORM~ ROTC Flyboy Earns Wings M'I Morro ... 0 ctS 1.1. ·-C:> Q) ~ >. .c ® J w ...J m (D <( a: Cl E\l~R-lo!'<le f'ur~ 11-4.£1R.

' Well , that life-long dream is nearing reality (much to the dismay of the American public) for Quinn is a student in the AFROTC Flight Instruction Program . Quinn repom that testing for the program was grueling. Besides answering the normal test questions on topics such as navigation, piloting, math and verbal skills , Quinn was required to prove his dexterity byshimmying up a hundred foot pole, under hurricane conditions , to untangle the windsock . ' '. It was O .K. until I got blown off the stupid pole and into the windshield of the DC10," Quinn reported . Thus far, Quinn has completed four lessons (and destroyed four instructors). He's advanced from the "basic stuff," such as straight flying (flying without hitting mountains , i:_adio transmitters and other aircraft) through climbs and descem, lu slow flight and "touch and go" (we can ' t even tell you about that one in the paper.) Quinn is especially excited about his upcoming lesson-Strafing L "This is what flying is Really all about ," he commented . Flight school instructors have requested that, after completing the basic 13 hours of instruction, Quinn be transferred "far, far away."

Russell Curtis and Shawn Shaknas prepare to duel while a worried Becky Schmitt looks on in a scene from The Country Wife. Performances of the college theatre production will be held tonight and Saturday night at 8 p .m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in the CPA. Admission is free with student ID . Air pollution, toxic waste , acid rain ... what is this world coming to? Don' t despair, there is hope , and that is what Earth Day is all about . On April 22, 1970, th~ celebration of Earth Day was instituted in the United States. At chis time, more than 20 million people actively demanded an increase in environmental quality. The purpose of Earth Day, according to the EPA's Environment News, is "to promote, educate, and celebrate the improvem,ent in environmental quality during the last dec.ide." It focuses on "the initiations taking place in communities to im prove environmental quality and protect natural resources .'' Th e rr, ·,in concern, however, will be to continue various efforts to improve environmental quality by addressing such topics as the safe deposit of toxic and hazardous substances , the clean-up of chemical dumps, and reduction of soil erosion . Today, the problem of toxic and hazardous waste disposal is the second most serious environmental problem. According to Dr. Mike Case, chairman of the Earth an·d Environmental Science Department, Earth Day is our opportunity to "correct the mistakes of the past and recognize our ability to look into the fu. ture and correct problems before they occur." He noted that we must recognize the fact that there are no real environmental boundaries on earth - pollution from one country will ultimately affect other coun - rries . The entire planet , in e,~cnrc . is one interconnected system. In keeping with the theme L f Earth Day, the Earth and Environmental Science Club .sponsored an Environmental Awareness Contest among area high school students. Students took a test to determine their level of awareness and those who scored highest received a cash award . · The E&ES department is sponsoring its first annual Alumni-Student Careers Party on Saturday, April 23, in - the Annette Evans Alumni House, in conjunction with E:,rth Day. This event will present alumni and students with an opportunity to get together and discuss such things as current environmental issues and prospects in the job market . �Page 8, The Beacon, April 22 , 1983 Poll Shows Freshmen~~•-----•----••••••••••---- F~,~.a~m?,~e M~,!~~~~,!!~.!~.c! in;~~is:~J cf!legie!::~;ent:::~::: t!ian at any time in the lase seventeen years, according co a national survey sponsored by the American Council on Education and the University of California at Los Angeles. The survey also indicated that freshmen are more materialistic and show less social concern than in past years.

Data on career interest is considered important as it indicates the valuesofsrudencsaswellasthepopularity of certai n careers. "Since 1966, when 21.7 percent of the entering freshmen were planning careers as schoolteachers, student interest has declined steadily to the point where only 4.7 percent of the 1982 freshmen aspire co teaching careers," says the report on the survey, The American Freshmen: National Norms for Fall 1982. The serious shortages of teachers have developed in fields such as mathematics and science. This is causingproblemsforschoolsystems crying to fill vacancies.

This meeting offered 14 Wilkes students the opportunity to present the results of the research projects they had worked on this semester. The first Eastern Colleges Science Conference (ECSC) was organized in 1947 by undergraduate student, Pauline Newman at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York . The aim then, as now, was to stimulate interest in undergraduate research in the sciences and related fields to provide a lively forum for .the presentation of research1hpers. Because it has a constitution, the conference is a self-sustaining body. Over the years . interest has increased in conferences and more than 50 colleges and universi ties attend this annual event . The range of subject matter covered has also in creased to include comp uter science , envin,nmental biology, psychology and the social sciences , as well as biology, chemistry, mathem atics, physics and engineering. Each year the conference is held at a different sc hool. Wilkes has hosted the conference twice in the past, in 1958 and agai n in 1970 . Last year, the gathering was held at Lycoming College with next year's conference scheduled to be hosted by Providence College , Providence , Rhode Island . Student and faculty representatives from 34 colleges and universities attended this year's conference at Wilkes. Participants were housed Weekend College Opportunities Students facing the hard question of whether to attend summer school or to take a full -time summer job might find a.way to do both in the Wilkes Weekend College . Wil~es Weekend College courses are taught on the campus-of.Keystoae Junior College, LaPlurrie , by Wilkes College professors . The calend ar.of the Weekend College is tailor-made f~r students who are working fu ll -time. In the Weekend Summer Session , classes begia the weekend of May 13 and end the weekend of August 19 . However, weekend-college students are not in class every weekend . Classes meet only six weekends over the four months from May through August, allowing students intervals of two or three weeks between meetings to keep up with their work. Unlike on-cam pus summer sessions which· must expand the number of meetings per week and the number of hours per day to accommodate a shorter session , the Weekend College calendar is designed for students whose responsibilities prevent them from attending traditional day-school or evening-college summer classes . It combines intensive classroom work on those weekends that classes are in session with reasona0ly long intervals betwee n sessions to allow stud ~nts the time to meet their various non-academ ic o b- · ligations while keeping up with the academ ic demands of their courses . Some stude nts drive m ore than 100 miles to take advantage of the Weekend College schedule and stay in campus housing for the weekend. Others commute to and from Keystone each day classes are in session. Virtually all of them can maintain full-time jobs whi le working toward their bachelor's degrees from Wilkes College. Courses being offered this· summer through the Weekender Program include: Acct. 222 (taxes) and 231 (auditing); BA 254 ; E&ES 115; Econ. 102,201, 236 and 398; Eng. 151; Hist 101; Physics 102; Psych 213 and 242 ; and Soc. 200.

The paper presentations themselves did not begin until Friday morn ing and ended the fo llowing morning with an awards banquet held at the Sheraton on Saturday afternoon . All Friday classes were moved from the second and third floor of Stark so the classrooms could be used for the on-going presentations. Wilkes students who presented papers included: Greg Culp , Karen Evaskitis, Laura Fedak , Donna Greytock, Betsy Husovsky, Mary Ellen Judge, Christine Kurkowski , Edward Luksha, Andre3 Nerozzi, Donna Nitka, Michelle O Malley,].

Connolly The faculty approved eight business-oriented minors for the 1983-84 curriculum, according to Dr. Howard Williams, chairman of the Commerce and Fina nce Department. The proposals were raised because of a large number of inquiries from students outside the Com merce and Finance Department for busi nesslike minors , said Williams . " Students were asking for marketa ble minors in business , and until now we didn ' t have one," said Williams . . The minors will be offered in business administration and economics , with four concentrations each. The minors under business administration will be: marketing , management , finance, and quantitative business analysis. Quantitative economics, economic fin ance , international economics, and economic policy will be offered und e1 economICs. " Many students major in business because they feel it is the surest way to get a job, even though their talents and interests may be in ocher disciplines ," said Williams. The availability of business minors should encourage some students to major in other interests whi le providing valuable credentials, added Williams. · Williams said the department was considering business administration as a minor but the study was too broad . "By narrowing th e minors we are giving students dimensions of business for which formal preparatio_n s are an asset," said Williams. Besides the approved policy on minors , Williams said the Com merce and Finance Department will propose other changes in the department next year. Two of these changes will require business administration and arcounting majors co cake · ompurer , cience and Math 101 and 102. �~ ~~ Page 10 , The Beacon , April 22 , 1983 core by Chris Baron Leag ue champion ship game bet ween the Quantu m Ducks, in the shirts and the Ratpack . Ratpack took the title with a one- pointvictory.L You don ' t often see p raise fo r , he: College Administration or Athletic Department in th is section of The Beacon. This wee'k I wou ld like to point out what seem s to be a beneficial change in the College's philosophy concerning coaches. W ilkes seems to be adopting a practice of hiring coaches as full -time employees of the school. At the beginning of this year, Phil Wingert took over as soccer coach whik se rvi ng as Sports Inform atio n ~irec tor on a full -time basis . W ingert ha; done more for W ilkes soccer in one season th an any coach befo re h im Wi ngert has improved the Colonels schedule to include some of the best S s Division III schools in the natio n . Next season will also see Wilkes going up aga inst D ivision II teams and Division I Notre Dame. Stiff competition is one of the best y;ays to improve the qu ality of a team . Wi ngert 's pose (SI D ) has enabled him to stay in constant contact wtih the Ath letic Department and th e Adm inistration . I doubt that a part-time SI coach could have p rod uced the schedule improvements that Wingert has. Th is first-year soccer m entor has h is team involved in off-season traini ng activi ties. The team has just re turned from a very successfu l weeke nd tournam ent in Virgin ia. Athletics, eve n on the Division III level , requires a year round comm it• ment . I' m not ta lking about the intensive off-season traini ng program of the Penn State Foo tball team . But a coach that tries to maintain some type of off-seaso n train ing and stays in contact with his players, can m ake a big d ifference in the world of Division III spores . Part-time coaches just don 't have the ti me or p rox imity required to m ain - I rain co ntact with the College and their players. If we learned an ything from the Jim Atherton incident it has to be that part- tim e coaches simply can 't function at the college level . First -year H ead Football Coach Bill Unsworth is ano ther individual who stepped into a program which was at its lowest point ever. Unsworth also took on the duties of Assistant Dean of Ad missions . · In the past, Ed Lucas , fo rmer Defe nsive Coordinator of the Colonels ball team , was· in charge of off-season training . Lucas was a high sc hool teacher at Lake_ Lehman and although he had good intent ions , h is·off-season training program wasn't worth m uch . · . This season, Unsworth has instituted a weight traini ng program wh ich is paying dividends. By working at the College year-rou nd, Unsworth is able to mo nitor the off-season activities of his players . Recruiting is also easie r fo r the fu ll-tim e coach. Because th ey are always on campus, they can m eet with recruits face-to-face and they have easy access to important adm issions information. From all ind ications both Unsworth and W ingert wi ll turn in banner recrum ng years . If we take a look at W ilkes ' teams over the years , it becomes obvio us that th ose squads with the best records have had full-t ime employees of the College as thei r coac hes.

The ladies scored three runs in the first, one in the second , a whopping 11 in the th ird , six in the fourth , and five in the fifth inning . At this point the game was called.

Booters in Virginia by Tim Williams The Wilkes Soccer ciub travelled to Virginia Tech University to participate in the sixth annual Virginia Tech Indoor Soccer Tournament this past weekend. The Colonels came away with an impressive 2-0 victory over Roanoke College who advanced to the Division III Virginia State fi- · nals during the Fall soccer season . The club lost their last two games to two Division I teams - James Madison University and George Washington University. The final scores were 2-0 and 1-0 respectively. In the Saturday morning match against Roanoke , Assistant PlayerCoach Kelly Noseworthy led off the scoring with a 15-yard shot to the lower left hand corner of the net. Dung Chi Doung (Zoomey) assisted on the play. · The Colonels controlled most of the action throughout the game until the last five minutes when the Colonel defense of Paul O'Leary, Chris Fox, Tim Williams, and goalkeeper Bob Bruggeworth repeatedly th\varted the Roanoke attempts to attain the equalizer.

Zoomey banged the shot home to finish the scoring for the game . "It was a confidence building victory." The Colonels mentor added, "I was surprised how well our players took to the artificial turf." After a three hour rest, the boaters took on James Madison University, one of the top four Division I teams in Virginia. After performing so well in the morning match the offensive unit of Greg Losier, Greg Trapani, Doung, and Noseworthy were unable to finish any offensive thrusts for a goal. The first Madison goal came when aJ.M .U . forward beat Wifliamsoneon-one and then pushed the ball past Bruggeworth to the bottom right hand corner of the net. J.M. U. made it 2-0 when a Madison midfielder beat two Wilkes defenders and scored by slipping the ball past Bruggeworth to the same side . The Wilkes netminder also saved a penalty kick late in the second half to keep the score low . The Colonels finished up in sec·ond place in their three team division; as a result they were seeded with George Washington University in an early Sunday morning match. The first plac~ finishers in each of the four divisions all received byes in the opening round on Sunday morning. · · The Wilkes Boaters received their first taste of a foreign style of play when they met up with the Division I George Washington team . The Washington, D .C. players utilized a q:iick, one-touch style of play that W i .s different from any previous sty le the Colonels have encountered . Neither team was able to capital ize on the few opportunities in the first half. Each side struggled to maintain control of the midfield which resulted in little action in front of the net until midway through the second half. The G .WU. club applied a great deal of pressure at this point forcing Wilkes to the defensive . With 10 minutes remaining in the contest, a George Washington player was fouled in the penalty area forcing a penalty kick. Bruggeworth rose to the occasion by sprawling to his left to deflect the ball away from the goal to preserve the scoreless deadlock . The Colonel defense broke down with only two minutes remaining in the game ; a Washington player found himself with the ball and unmarked in front of the goal. He easily pushed the ball past the outstretched Bruggeworth for goal and the victory. A great number of fans had never heard of Wilkes College . These fans, in general, were somewhat impressed with the little school from Wilkes-Barre. The Wilkes Soccer Club performed better than what might have been expected against such a high calibre of competition . Junior Greg. Losier commented, "We played well but, we could have played better." He added, " We are looking forward to next year, and hopefully we'll bring home the hardware .''

Monsell Cherry Blossom weekend is upon l)S once again. It is a time when the people who you see roaming around the campus minding ther own business get somehow transformed into snarling, do-anything-to-win, competitive animals. The activities open on Thursday, April 28, with the first annual pizza pig out at the gym between the Good Guy Gluttons of Wilkes College and the Bad Boy Barfers of King's College. The oh-ject is to see who can shove the most hot, gooey pizza down their throats in the least amount of time. This event is sure to take place right next to the infamous Wilkes-Kings snowball fights in the battle for the bragging rights of Wilkes-Barre . On Friday , the opening ceremon ies in the gym should definitely not ·be missed if you want to kill yourself laughing. The theme of this vear's Cherry Blossom is ''The Wonderful World of Dis-= ney, ' ' so if you always wanted to pretend you were Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, now is your chance! The opening ceremonies start with another gluttonous exercise in cherry pie eating that is SU{"e to make anyone watching or participating never want to eat an piece of cherry pie again. Next come the pillow fights in which team members get to take out all their pentup aggressions and amciety on other teams. When you are watching this event make sure you check out . the faces of the competitors and you will see some of the meanest, teeth -gritting, expressions yo u will ever want to witness. After the feat hers are cleared , the mai n eve nt is sure to qui cken the hea rtbeat of an y red-blooded male. Female jello wrestl inp.! When I was watching this las r year, I expected to see some girls havi ng a few laughs rolling aro und in some nice, wholesome jello. Was I wrong! Wh at I did see were some pretty · competiti ve women that I would not bet against even if they were going against our nationally-ranked wrestling team. On Saturday, the games start at 10 a.m . and are being held at Ralston Field. The events are pretty ingenious and they may look easy, but they sure are not. The only thing that is easy is making a fool out of yourself. There is a greased water balloon race that · will make anyone who thinks they are sure-handed think twice the next time they decide to hold a baby . There is a clothes changing relay race in which all you aspiring Supermen out there can, practice the art of quick change. The food bag race is another dynamite race to have a good laugh while watching your friends make pigs of themselves . Then there is the good ol' ohstacle course that is sure to em bara~s a few people. The softball l!atn(' tnllows these events and . unlike last year, it is only single elimination. · After the events , run right home, eat, shower , change, (by all means change) and head to .the CPA at 7 p.m. to see the musclemen of Wilkes strut their stuff at the Mr. Wilkes competition . The muscle -bound fellows promise to provide you with plenty of grunts and groans and sweat you may have failed to produce at the events earlier. Followin_g the Mr. Wilkes competition there will be a gym party . from 9 p.m .-1 a.m. There will be plenty of food and the music will be provided by our wild D .J s. After the party is over, you can crash and get the sleep you definitely deserve, but when you wake up, be sure to get your aching body over to the gym for the closing ceremon ies. Here is where you will see if putting your body through the rough and tough events of the previous day was worth it. Later in the evening you can see the movie Nine to Five, starring Dolly Parton, ' Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin. Do not miss this one because it is full of the same kind of laughs you had the day before. So, get your team together , get psyched , and go crazy with some good. clean fun and show your ath letic prowess. Put on your snarl ing, do ,anything-to-win face', grit your teeth , and try not to make a fool of yourself. · IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. Spring is in the air, and blossoms have appeared on the trees signalling the advent of Cherry Blossom weekend. Beginning on Ap~iJ 28 with a piz~ ~ating contest afainst King's College, there will be a host At excittn'° and ent«tau:ung events. This year's tlteme is "The Wonderful Worltl &f DisAey." BiologgDept. Schedules . Revisions In Curriculum FoT 1983 Fall Semester Beginning this fall, several cur ri cular revisions will be implement ed by th e Biology Department. Included in these revisions are the deletion of the 201 -208 modul e sequence and the addition of a · laboratory period for non -science majors. Dr. Les Turoczi , chairman of the Biology Department, stated that the department ' ' needed a more traditional sequence of courses.'' He noted that, in the past, non biology science majors, such as Earth & Environmental Science majors or Chemistry majors with pre-health science options , only had room in their schedules to take some but not all eight, of the modules. Also, because each module was valued at two and a half credits, it was not possible to have clean credi t transferability either into or out of the program . The new program eliminates these difficulties. In short, the new system calls for the following : 1) dropping of Bio . 101-102 and replacing it with Bio. 103-104, a full year sequence for the nonscience major which includes a laboratory. 2) dropping Bio. 201-208 modul es an d replacing them with a fres hman year sequence, Bio . 121 122 , to be available fo r all science majors including biology (a req uirement) and/ or health science tracks and E. & E.S. majors , and adding a sophomore year sequence Bio. 223 224 required of all biology majors and available to those having en rolled in Bio. 121 -122 if so desired. 3) changing the titles of two upper-level biology courses . 4) adding a new 300-level elective and )) adding a laboratory experience to Bio. 341 . Biology 103-104, Biological Science I-II, will replace Bio . 101 102 and will be open only to non biology majors. It will include two hours each of the lecture and laboratory wo rk a week . Bio. 103 will cover the basic structure and func tion of plant and animal cells, taxonomy, plant diversity and the in, ter - relationships between plants and animals, while Bio. 104 will deal with such topics as form and function in animals, development, genetics and evolution . Each class is worth three credits. T he freshman year modules will be replaced by Bio. 121-12:', Principles of M odern Biology I-II. Each wi ll include th ree hours of lecture and three ho urs of labo ratory per wee k and will be worth four credits. Bio. 121 will focus on the structure and function of living matter, with emphasis being given to anatomy and physiology of plants. Bio . 122 will deal with such topics as the struct ure and function of the verte· brate animal, the causes and nature of biological diversity and concepts of ecology. The Bio. 223 -224 sequence will replace the sophomore year modules. Bio. 223, Comparative Anatomy, will focus QP the evolution of the anatomy and organ systems of vertebrates. Bio. 224, Cellular and Molecular Biology, will discuss cell structure in relation to func tion, biochemistry an d physiolQgy of animal, plant and bacterial cells and their viruses ,; and the cell in division and development. Each course will consist of three hours of lecture, one hour of discussion and three laboratory hours per week and is worth four credits. Bio . 318, Developmental Bio- logy , will be offered in the spring semester. It will deal with such topics as organismic development, gametogenesis, fert ilization , cleavage, embryoge nesis , differentiation , morphogenesis and regeneration. It will consist of two hours of lecture and one three hour la J per week, and will be offered for three credits. In addition to these course changes, a laboratory period is being added to Bio. 341, Immunology, to better illustrate and demonstrate many of the principles of immuno!ogy: Two title chang~s are also bemg -implemented: 810. 308, Advanced Genetics, is being changed to Bio. 308, Genetics, due to the fact that Bio. 205, Genetics is being dropped and the used of '' Advanced" in the title would be inappropriate. In the same sense, Bio. 317, Advanced Ecology, is being changed to Bio. 317 Ecology. The dropping of Bio. 101-102 and Bio . 201 through 208 will be implementable as of Fall 1983 .

The handwritten journals which no one knew had existed , were finally dug up in a hayloft in East Germany after a three-year search based. on a hunch . The journalist Gert Heidlemann has ha~ a lifelong fascination with the German leader. The writings, although still not positively linked to Hitler, were said to give insights into his twisted philosophies regarding our world . A tentati ve motion was made to ch ange the IRHC meetings to once every other week rather than the once-a-week schedule now being observed. ·President Al Meluesen cited poor attendance as one of the mai n factors for considering the change. Lack of interest seems to be. a key issue concerning the council. In an effort to boost interest , IRHC is sponsoring an Ice Cream Sundae Day. The event is tentatively scheduled for May 8 and most likely will be held on the lawn in front of the cafeteria. The Commuter Council expressed displeasure with IRHC for the lack of help in cleaning up after the Student Center party. Meluesen attributed this to the lack of interest of t he members of the council and he stressed the importance of participation for the success of the council. It was reported that vandalism at the College may be on the rise . An $8000-$9000 cost fo r Pickering Hall alone was one of the figures mentioned . Vandalism awareness by the students is a topic and problem to be considered by the council. Meluesen announced that IRHC will be receiving about $7850 of the $85 00 that was requested for thei r budget. It was announced that 1 76 people turned out to donate blood last T hursday in the gym. Outstandi ng dorms were Sturdevant and the men 's wi ng of Founde r's Fourt h. Student Government was the outst a n din g o rganization do n ati n g · thei r services to the blood drive. Outstandi ng representati ves were recognized for their services to the council. Bill French and Joan Kalinowski were the two worthy of the honor. Todd Hogan reported that maintenance was looking into moving the inter-dorm phones to more convenient places to cut down on the amount of ringi ng phones in outof-the-.way places. Advisor Paul Adams an nounced the need to restore rooms in the residence halls to their original conditions. Residents should make plans to spackle their walls to cover up any nail holes that are dotting the walls . If the rooms are not found in the condi tion they were in at the beginning of the school yea r, residents may be facing at lea~t a $100 painting charge . Alumni SpeechChc,plerOrganized Recently, at the national convention/ tournament of Pi Kappa Delta , in Estes Park , Colorado, Wilkes College was recognized as being the tenth institution in the country to organize and charter · an alumni chapter of former forensic students that have graduated from Wilkes College. The Wilkes alumni chapter is an off-shoot of the current undergraduate chapteJ'I--Pennsyl vania Omicron Chapter of Pi- Kappa Delta National Honorary Forensics Societ y. Before the assembled delegates at the convention, Wilkes director of Forensics/ Debate Dr. Bradford Kinney was given the char- ter for the Wilkes alumni chapter. Only nine other institutions in the 54 ,000 member organization have alumni cahpters . The president of the Wilkes chapter is David Evans a former standout in forensic competition while he attended Wilkes College. Alumni members for the College chapter range from medical cbctors to university teachers and members reside as close as Wilkes-Barre and as far away as Alaska . It is the goal of the new chapter to help fur ther activities/competition on the college level and to serve as an adadv isory / soci al organ ization for former graduates of Wilkes College. The chapter is a duly constitut ed and recognized part of Pi Kappa Delta and as such will have an active voice in the future development of forensic activities for the United States. Dr. Kinney of the Speech-Radio division is the founder/advisor of · the undergraduate national honorary chapter as well as the new alumni chapter. Dr. Kinney also has . founded Inta Beta Sigma National H onorary College Broadcasti ng Society at Wilkes College.

The schedule, 73 events long, was two years in the making and involved every department on campus. John Chwalek, coorcJnator of the anniversar y celebration said, ''The anniversary was to depict the quality of the school and tell the story of Wilkes College ." The schedule of events met this challenge . Through events such as art exhibits , concerts, symposiums, and an exhibition depicting 50 years of growth, students and faculty were brought closer together "exem pl ifying the type of school we have,' said Chwalek. The tas k of putting together a 50th Anniversary celebration was not an easy one. It toot the cooperation of many, including the ci ty of Wilkes Barre. "We made alot of permanent friends in the community,' ' s tat ed C hwalek . It was this cooperation by all that made the 50th year of Wilkes College such a success. Chwalek was very generous with his th anks and appreciation. He menti oneds everyone from President Capin, to the students , with special than ks to Dr. Kelly , Dr. Bob Heaman, a.nd Al Groh , director of Cultural Activities for the College. Chwalek, who has worked for the college for some 3 7 years ,mentioned the Anniversary Ball at Gus Genett i's on May 7, as one of the highlights of the year. Six hun dred people, including the Mayor of Wilkes-Barre and other dignitaries , will be attending the ball. The popularity of the event has resulted in there not being enough accomodations for all who wish to attend. "If we had room for 1,000, we ' d have 1,000 ,' ' commented Chwalek . Although the offi cial calendar of events ends on July 3, with an Art Exhibit at the Sordoni Art Gallery, the affects of the celebration will be felt for years to come. The Col lege is al ready plan ning events for next year. They will be similar to the ones that made this year such a success. A symposium on religion is slated for the fµll along with the continuation of one or two pro grams that were started this year. According to Chwalek , these types of events help the College because "people from out of town come to participate and see wh at we offer and write about it in their papers or spread it by word of mouth. ' The 50th Anniversary can also be viewed as a growing experience. It brought a lot of people together, most importantly the students and !~culty and, according to Chwalek, a school grows only because of the attitude of the people involved, especially the faculty and the stu dents." Eve ryone involved would like to thi nk the positive attitude here at Wilkes has grown duri n/.' our 50th tear. "I feel like we're back at the prom."

Assistant Professor Department ofDental Hygiene College of Allied Health Sciences of Thomas Jefferson University Mention oral herpes to a group of people and watch their reactions. You may see embarrassment , confusion, or a misplaced fe ar that oral herpes is the same as genital herpes, a venereal disease. The reason for these reactions is a lack of knowledge - of what herpes is, how it is transmitted and how to prevent spreading it. The way herpes is Seftsationalized currently is certainly not helping to make ·people more aware of the facts . Oral herpes, or herpes simplex, is .not genital herpes.It is not a venereal disease. Oral herpes is a virus that occurs on the lips or in the mouth. It begins with a mild burning or itching sensation, followed by swelling and rupturing of clusters of small blisters. The result is a red ulceration , possibly c~vered by a brownish crust. This ulceration is also called a cold sore, or a fever blister. Cold sore, fever blister and oral herpes are synonymous terms. The blister is a primary symptom of oral herpes , but other symptoms occur as well . The severity of the symptoms depend on whether a person has primary"or secondary herpes. Primary oral herpes , the first case a person contracts , is more severe. Symptoms can include a high fever, swollen glands and lesions on the lips and in the mouth - on the tongue or palate. When the lesions are ulcerated or open they can be very painful. Eating can be difficult . Some people become dehydrated because fluid intake aggravates the nerve endings. Children are more severely affected by the symptoms than adults. Once the virus is introduced into the body, it lies dormant until it is reactivated . So , if you had the virus once, chances a£e that you will have it again . Secondary herpes (a recurring case) is not as severe ." It can be painful , but is seldom debilitating. Trauma, fatigue, menstruation or emotional upset can reactivate the dormant virus . Changes in your state of health - colds, allergies and pregnancy for example - can cause a recurrence. Exposure to ~unligh t and its ultraviolet rays will also activate the lesions. Oral herpes can be transmitted both to other people, and other parts of the body. The virus is transmitted only from a person who has an active case of oral herpes. Transmission occurs prim arily onJy from a person who has an active case of oral herpes. Transmission occurs primarily through direct contact with rupturing lesions, but can also occur through contact with the saliva of a person who has herpes. You can also contract oral herpes through sexual contact . But amorous adventures are not the only way to transmit and contract herpes . In fact , you can contract herpes by kissing your grandmother, drinking from your sister's glass, or eating with your friend's fork, if any of these people have oral herpes . Since herpetic lesions can occur on the lips, mouth , nose and genitals, a person who has herpes can transmit the virus to these other parts of his or her own body, through droplet infection or fi nger innoculation. A mild case of oral herpes can be made worse by causing more blisters to develop. Several studies have shown th.a t the herpes virus can live from 36 to 48 hours outside the body, but researchers are not sure under what conditions this will happen . Meticulous personal hygiene and avoiding contact with herpes blisters are the only ways to prevent spreading the infection. If you have oral herpes, take extra precautions to keep from causing more blisters . Wash your hands often . l)o not touch the lesion . If you use a wash-doth , clean it after each use . Be careful when brushing your teeth: you can aggravate a lip lesion and spread it to other pares of your mouth . Avoid spreading the virus to others by washing all eating utensils in a dishwasher or very hot water. Also, be aware that, although oral herpes does not automatically lead to genital herpes , it can be transmitted to the genital area through sexual contact . As was mentioned before , there is no medicine that will cure oral herpes. Maintaining a good state of health, reducing stress and keeping exposure to the sun at a healthy minimum will help reduce the number of recurrences. If you suspect that you have oral herpes, especially primary herpes, see either a physician or a dentist. They won't be able to cure the virus, but they will tell you whether or not herpes is causing whatever symptoms you have . Both can answer any questions you have about the virµs and how to prevent spreading the infection.- There are over-thecounter drugs and rinses with a local anesthetic that will relieve the symptoms . A dentist or physician can help you identify which is most appropriate for you . If you have oral herpes, remember that it will be gone in 10 to 14 days, just like a cold . It's not the end of the world . It's not even the worst thing that will ever happen to you . So while the virus is running its course, give yourself some extra care . Most important, though, take the precautions necessary to avoid in- 1 fecting others . •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • Mostly_Fem ale •• •• i • i Co-eds Have ''Swine'' Time Pigging-Out At Roast .

Finally. A matric ulating senior, I've seen three spring semesters come and go at the College, all of them unique in some way, all of them filled with the joy of impending summer and the relief. of knowing another year had successfully passed. This special time at Wilkes will always color my thoughts in warm rich tones: all of the spring semesters in my mind are peppermint with River Common cherry blossoms; spring memories taste of the doughy, salty richness of a Student Center soft pretzel munched hurriedly on the way to class; they speak in a rich chorus of voices, voices of those who touched my life for a brief happy time, and then were gone. I didn't know what to say in this last editorial (not an unusual situation; I'm always stuck for editorial subjects). I contemplated my past Wilkes years, and I remembered the "thank-yous" that never got said: the thank you to those professors who trained my mind to realize the world's cor:nplexities, and opened my eyes to appreciate • its beauty; the thank-you to those friends who bore with me when the pressures became too burdensome, who shared days of laughter and ridiculous fun, who spent_ long days and evenings in deep discussions that formed our lives. I remembered the thank-you to my family, who watched me evolve into different people through the years, some of whom they understood, some of whom they didn't, but all of whom they loved. The nostalgia of "seniorhood" was upon me, and I was inextricably caught in a web of reminiscence. Seniors are allowed indulgence during their final weeks at a place filled with memories; I sat watching joggers plod along River Street and immersed myself in memory scenes of places and people forgotten quickly in the rush of classes, papers, and exams. I hope they will always stay with me as they do now, to fill my quiet hours with pleasant thoughts of the times when the world was a place of 1~hange in an atmosphere of growth. Odyssey @ l . T_aha 1982 "I /assume that you don 't have anything to· beat it." Student Com,n~nds Jay_Tucker On His 'Tireless Efforts' Dear Editor: Early in the semester, it was announced that the position of Student Center Di rec tor was to be eliminated for the upcoming academic year due to budget cuts. To those of us on the Student Cen ter Board, this seemed an absolutely unthinkable proposition, and a committee was immediately organized to work with Student Government to reverse this decision. It was our belief that there was obviously a lack of understanding on the part of the - administ~ation, regarding_ the absolute necessity of a Student Center Director. The committee formulated a proposal which, if accepted, woul_d have proyi_ded funds to maintain the pos1t1on . Unfortunately this P:oposal was rejected , and, as of this week, the earlier decision still stands. I think it is appropriate at this time to express sincere gratitude and appreciation 10 Jay Tucker. who has acted as director for the past two years. There is no question that during this time , the improvements in the Student Center itself, as well as the continued popularity and success of the activities sponsored through it, are the direct result of Jay's hard work and dedication to the students of Wilkes College. Any student who has taken advantage of activities such as the weekly ski trips • or white-water rafting and Atlantic City bus trips, is undoubtedly aware that nrit only has Jay been open and responsive to student needs and suggestions, but that he has also always done so mindful of the extremely limited budget of a student. Most students are not aware , however, of just how much time and effort Jay actually gave to the Student Center. Those of us OP the board, who were able to work closely with him , know well that just as being a student is a "full time job,'' being the Director of a Student Center is also a roundthe-clock task , which doesn't allow for much time off on nights or weekends. I know the other memhers of the board share my respect for Jay and his tireless efforts. There is no doubt that budget cuts and economic recession hit hard all over , and the loss of Jay as student center director is one cut which will surely be felt by all Wilkes students. The Student Center Board is determined, however, to maintain and improve• the current level of activities offt'red through the Student Center . and will undoubtedly do so bv fo llowing the fine example set by Jay . Finally, a simple thinak -you is certainly in order, so, thanks Jay! You will surely be missed. , Sincerely, Kathy Hyde ~ ~ ~ •••••••• To the Editor: The Beacon Parrish Hall 16 S.

Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. Rumor has it that this is the last Beacon of the year, which means you'll probably find us in the un employrr.tnt lines next w,~k. Of courst, the absence of column ~ riting will give us more time for the finer things in life (feeding pigeons, reading the National En· quirer, an d looking for dimes in pay phones). What does this all mean? Are we two more helpless victims of Reaganomics or just members of that category known as "seasonally unemployed?" The category which we fall ~to not withstanding, the issues must still be addressed, serious studies must be undertaken, and forecasts must be made. With this in mind, we would like to address perhaps the most pressing issue in recent mem ory: the outcome of the base· hall season. For those of you who lost money hettjn_g 0n our predictions last · which will likely be conveniently overlooked by anti-Reagan prophets of doom. Here is some other news these folks may tend to selectively forget. Factory -production was up 1. 1 percent in March , auto .sales were up 36 percent , and inflation has remained at the lowest rate in more than a decade. With every passing day, Ronald Reagan's chances of winning a second term increase. Meanwhile, back at the conference table, the Soviet Union •has resumed their favorite negoriat· ing tactic, stonewalling. Let us recap these negotiations for you. Ronald Reagan startecj us down the road toward nuclear holocaust by proposing the elimination of all intermediate range nuclear weap· cins in Europe. The peace loving Soviets turned down the offer. The inflexible Reagan then challenged the Soviets to come up with their own proposals to reduce these weapons. The peace-at-any-price Soviets were forced to turn down this extreme offer. All the Sov- Alternative Forms by Kim Skrinak The spirit of volunteerism is declining among college campus students. This decline is brought about by such situations as the growing pressure to earn a higher ·grade level for a job market that is becoming increasingly competitve. The present apat hy of most students towards ext racurricular activities that grant them no relief from their college expenses may be under· stood. However, the loss of volunteers· to operate the functions that _a_r~lat~d to publication_~f the literary magazine and news· paper will be felt by Many of us who enjoy literary expression. It is not a very inconceivable idea that a newspaper or literary magazine cannot happen without human effort. These publications do not come about from thin air. Inestimable hours are poured into the de- signing, editing, wri ting and other related facets of these publications. T he pressures of keeping a high grade average can easily discour· age the student from becoming in· volved with the college paper or magazine. It is also not difficult for one to realize that if the pressure for higher grades is increased, the student publications could fold permanently due to the lack of volunteers. Although higher grades possibly could be achieved by the use of the newly acquired time, a new loss would !iefelt. The literary magazine is an outlet for the experiences and emotions of the student who is probably going through one of his, or her, most crucial years of life. Although it may be of questionable gratification for the students, at present, to transform their thought~ into print, the stories and poems year. we apologize, but this year we hope to get at least one of the division winners right. The new system of prediction which we have undertaken requited ext en si ve research and financing in our ef. fort to determine the .respective division winners. Based on the allimportant categories of ballpark size, stadium hotdog prices, average annual rainfall, scoreboard size, and the final 1964 records, which we plugged into our Atari home computer , we came up with the following predictions. In the American League , it's Baltimore and Kansas City, while over in the National League it's Pittsburgh and Atlanta. These picks provide the perfect opportunity to get back the house you lost on our last year 's picks . Now that the important stuff is out of the way, let's talk trivia. In case you had not heard, the economic recovery is picking up steam. The Gross national Product rose at an annually adjusted rate of 3.1 percent in the lirst quarter, a fact iets are waiting for is a reasonable offer which lets them keep what they have and prohibit us from building any. Who says they are tough to please? Well, we will be keeping a close eye on the news over the summer, and we hope you will be too. But, · before we depart for our summer retreat , we would like to thank all those who made this column pos· sible. Our sincerest thanks go out to Joe Antinnes , Christopher Sholes, John Dryden, our editor Amy Elias, and everyone we have ever met . In closing, let us leave you with this thought. In the words of a would-be prophet, "Make an armadillo smile, and the world is your oyster." Any comments or criticisms are welcome. Please write to us at The Beacon, and the staff will forward all letters to the unemployment office. ································································•·· of these students could increase in significance a few years after they have left college . They would, for their lifetime, have a publication that contains thoughts and emotions pt'rnliar to their generation . By reaJing the literary magazine· they would realize the ele· ments, good or bad , that forced their years in college. This idea may seem ridiculous now, but in time it will not. The students of Luzerne County Community experienced the loss of their newspaper and lit· erary magazine. The newspaper was carried out as a newsletter until it folded completely. The lit· erary magazine, which was banned because it did not compliment the community image, aroused the students into publishing an underground literary magazine. The literary magazine had to be distributed in a covert manner be- ··c~nige cause reports were coming in to those behind the magazine that copies were being confisca ted by the . campus guard from the pro· fessors' desks while they were not in their offices. The costs to publish the magazine Wef'e raised from a benefit concert and donations from other lociil co!Jege literary magazines . Perhaps the present-day college student would scoff at the time_and trouble it took to publish a student litera ry m agazine without the financial backing of a college administration, but he or she should realize that the students had, in this way, developed a publication that reflected the spirit of an age of hope and ideals. Many of the oeople who were in college and in· v1.. 'ved in the publication of the lit· erary magazine had hopes of becoming educated in order to change the world for the hetter. These· beliefs of the students who published Ahimsa (the name given to the uqderground magazine) are prob· ably considered archaic to the ' ·. modern, career-minded student. With the de-emphasis of volunteerism in the publication .9{ literary works, wonders what the future of colleges· will · be like. Will they become ''mental vocational technical institutes'' that are geared· solely toward career preparation? What function will the poet and writer serve in these changing times? Perhaps the poet . and writer will someday vansih. I hope that I am wrong, but I have seen a college that I previously attended eliminate a college newspaper and literary magazine. I would not be surprised to see it happen again. Only this time, the students will not be in the position to fight back. one - - - --Classifieds-- - -Bill: Meet Karen at the WOODS! Bill 0: ROCKY!

Love, Your Baby Sister �Page 8, The Beacon, April 29, 1983 The Great Wedding Gown Caper by Niccole Baron and Heidi Abramowitz What do average college students do on a sunny Saturday in April? Well, some may go out and play softball or frisbee at Kirby Park . A lot of the nubile, young, female coeds like to sun themselves in the backyards of their dorms . Others still enjoy going for walks through the River Commons, or stealing daffodils and tulips from unsuspecting peoples' yards. Personally, being the 1'dventurous, fun-filled pair that we are, we find these harml.ess past times rather boring and trite. We like living on the edge, taking a few chances . So wbat did we do this past weekend when Saturday morning dawned might and dear? We courted dan,cr. We involved ourselves in classic inuiguc ... we went downtown and' using the names given above, we tt:icd' on wedding gowns! Welt, actually, Nikki tried' on wedding gowns, while Heidi sat there and lied to all the trusting, eager little sales clerks . It's not that Nikki's planning on getting married in the near future, it's just one of those quirky little things people always want to do , but never get the chance to; you know , like bull fighting in Madrid , sky diving into Lake Erie , going on an African safari or telling your least favorite instructor what he can do with his research project. Don• c think this was easy either. It / ·' / cook planning and weeks of careful preparation to pull this caper off. We had to chink up suitable aliases , pick a wedding dace , decide on how many non-existent guests would be at the pseudo-reception , find an engagement ring, pick some unsuspecting fool. whose name we could use as the groom's , decide whether to have a traditional or modern wedding and whether the bride 's family was planning on going "wholehog " or being cheap. _ Niccole Baron came easily, but Heidi Abramowitz wok minutes of deep contemplation and the realization fhat this would probably 'hy m,y only chance in life to be Jewiib. As to the wedding dat-e, Nikki decided she wanted to be married ita ~ s t and the 20th seemed like a ttice eV¢1l number. Naturally, the reception hac t0 be held at Gcnetti's . We decided to ,o "whole-hog" and iftvitc n8fakc pcor,le to this shin-dig. We don't want to get anyone on campus paranoid or anything, so we won't mention who we decided on for a groom (snicker, snicker, giggle , immature laughter) . The engagement ring was easy ; Heidi had her grandmother's. Fortunatel y we managed to force it on . to Nikki's porky liccle ring finger (can you tell Heidi's typing chis article?) . We decided nor to limit ourselves in dress choices , so we didn 't specify whether Nikki was going traditional or modern . Cleverly disguised as a legitimate bride-co-be and her faithful maidof-honor, we sauntered into Blum Brothers Bridal Salon . The clerks were busy fitting cwo " real " brides · and cold us to pick out a few dre~ses aad wait. We amused our~lves ~ gaing through the gowns and a.ftef cltoosing three (tlie aAJ.y ·1iht¢e size 12's in the entire shop . We KVff tt• alizcd bri<ics only came msize t's. Yhat's wrong with these ~~ Even Ptiru:ess Di was a size ll when she get mauicd; no w011•1 tk ,-, girl had re have her gown made for her), we sat down aad looked at is-. sues of Modern Bride from 1974 . After half an hour, this got pretty boring . Heidi wanted to make a scene, act like a really snotty, spoiled rich kid, but Nikki swore she would make her eat the nearest veil if she tried it. Heidi settled for talking loud enough about her wealthy family in Long Island for everyone in a five yard radius to hear her. We got some weird looks from the people sitting across from us . One bride 's mother acted like she was reading a magazine, but it was obvious she was listening to our conversation . When we got into an argument over whether or not Heidi 's sister, Hilda, had to get married (Heidi insisted the baby was just three months premature), the woman dropped the magazine and the contents of her purse on the floor. Finally, one of the clerks became available, and Nikki was ushered into the dressing room with her selections . It should be noted that the sales clerks do not leave those dresses out of their sight for even one' minute; they insist on helping you dress. They must be afraid someone's going to put one on under their street clothes and walk, unnoticed , out of the store . f' / ~-\1/) -· Considering the fact that all the dresses looked pretty barfy on the hangers , Heidi almost fell over when Nikki swept out of the dressing room, looking fantastic . We had a l0t of fun ma~ing the sales ladies run back and forth with hats and veils and constantly fixing the trains of the gowns . After we thought we 'd made the clerks suffer enough (by the way, they were real sweethearts and, as we sit here writing this, we fed just a tad guilty for dcceiviag them) we decided it was time to meve oo, Zimmerman's being our next target . Zimmerman 's was different. Their sales clerks were real gogetters , ready to get in there and fight, fight, fight for that " Big Sale". Sensing this, we set them up for the "Big Sting." We proceeded cautiously, weighing our words carefull y, waiting for just the right moment to spring the trap . And then it · happened . Our fawning saleswoman announced that the first gown Nikki tried on was a "real bargain" at $250. Realizing that this was the moment , Heidi , with a casuaf wave of her hand , an0ounced that "meney was no object." Nmki e00fiffllcd this hy stat"'g that SM 011ly pfamu:d en getA:ing married 8ftCC and waeted to do it up 1i«lu. We watched in amazement as Mar signs apJ>cared where the w01111aa,' s pUf>ils 1,1sed to be . She immeaatdy asked Ni-kki if .she· d like t0 fry es. a $1100 gown. In a voice o£ casual ifldifferencc, Nikki sighed, "On sure ." What the woman neglected to tell Nikki was that this 'was yet ·a nother of those infamous size S's. She yanked Nikki into the dressing room and proceeded to stuff her into the gown . Seated near the dressing room, Heidi could hear Nikki saying , " It's too small. I can't breathe, " and the saleslady's reply, "Nonsense, it will fit; we'll make it fie !!" It was at this point that Heidi almost blew our cover. The salesclerk, determined to convince Nikki that she wanted to buy a wedding gown chat was two sizes too small , stuck her head out of the dressing room and began calling co Heidi , who was sitting less than four feet away. Heidi , who was busy watching some other bride model her gown, had totally forgotten her code name. Nikki , still trapped in the constricting gown, realized what had happened and almost panicked . Thinking quickly, she poked her head out of the dressing room and in her most cutting voice began shouting. " Heidi, HEIDI, HEI--DI!!!!" The absent-minded Heidi fin all y looked around to see who everyone was shouting at, and reali-zed it was her. This near - catastrophe narrowly avoided .Heidi vowed to keep her mind on the task at hand : bamboozling store personnel who were just trying to do their job (callous laughter). We further beguiled our clerk 0y questioning whether a long-sleeved gown would he too hot for a 750 guest reception at Gcnetti's . .-hen Heidi suggested that the Grand Ballroom was probably airconditioned, the woman refused co let Nikki try on the dresses she had chosen, and went in search of " more elegant, expensive ones." Did y111u know th~t thefe is a nm wcdJing gowns this month?• At least mat's what we were lead to hc:kcvc. Our cle,k rc:peatcElly aaft@l.lflced, with ca.ch gown NiAl&i cried QO, that, not only dia Nikki look fantastic, but if she didn't buy it or at least put down a fair deposir, the gown would surely be gone the next morning. She was truly amazing. If Heidi said Nikki looked nice, the woman immediately proclaimed it throughout the entire shop . We believe that if Heidi had stated that Nikki wanted to look putrid, the clerk would have immediately announced to the entire score that Nikki had to be che ugliest bride she had ever 5een.' We eventually grew tired of our folly and tried to leave the store . Our sales clerk refused to let us go, insisting she put a few dresses on reserve for Nikki and give us her business card. We were glad to agree. Meer giving Nikki's name and wedding date, we walked calmly out of the score and into the daylight. We managed to cross the street before breaking into fits of uncontrollable laughter. You may wonder, what , if anything , did we learn fro m chis Mission Improbable? Well, we learned that Nikki won ' t look coo much like a frump if and when she walks down the aisle (yes, Heidi is still typing). We learned that everyone had better start d ieting now if they plan on getting married in the next ten years . We learned that there are three wedd ing gowns sitting in the backroom of Zimmerman 's with the name Niccole Baron on them . We learned that we missed _ our calling ; we should either be making films or working for the CIA . Is there a moral to our little adve nture into the "seamy" world of wedding gowns? Only this: make sure you remember your code name. @fl �April 29, 198~, T he Beacon . Pag (· ') Layout: The Untold Story b)Rebecca Whitman c.r'ld Donna Nitka Finally". the truth can be told.

Fre-fuyo ut begins eat1ly ifl · t.ke week when individua:fs come to their place of worship with the products of their laoor, otherwise known as copy. The search for COJilY can be compared -to Percival 's quest for the Holy Grail; long grueling ho urs are spent following false leads and solving the puzzles presented hv pages of unorganized inten·iew notes. After spending a few mom ents in silent meditation, gazing at the Holy Icon of our departed man aging editor, who we believe will come again when we need him most, we reverently place our copy on the altar of the copy editor. The copy editor has the arduous task of cleansing our copy of all its impurities. If is now ready to be sacri ficed to the tempermental god of t he typesetter. The dreaded god of the typesetter. quick to anger , can onl y be calmed by one person-the keeper of the typesetter . He alone can program this being to accept our offerings .

Editors , by now The Whitman Sample_r Restoration Comedy AW elcome Treat by Rebecca Whitman This past weekend, the Theater Arts department put on their last play of the school year, The Country Wife, a production written by the seventeenth century Restoration playwright, William Wycherly. The comedy follows the activities of a Mr. Horner, a London playboy who comes up with the brainstorm plot to tell everyone in his social circle that he has suddenly become impotent, so husbands will be less cautious with their wives around him . The play is filled with subplots and intrigues involving Homer's friends and acquaintances. Despite a slow start, die school production, directed by Jay Siegfried, provided the audience with not only some carefree laughs but also a chance to experience the language, style and drama of another era. At first, I didn't understand why the audience was allowed to observe the scene changes, but during intermission I read the director's notes in my program and discovered that this was the way scenes w~re changed when the play was originally staged in the late 1600's. I also learned that the scenery and lighting, delightful as usual, were done in true 17th century style. Many of the actors and actresses seemed to have trouble getting their lines out of their mouths, and while . some appeared to be trying to affect British accents, others simply sounded like they attended Wilkes Coliege. Censidering the fact that the p.la-y was written over tMe celil- walk arou.nd today speaking the way people did then would probably be locked up , the cast did not have an · easy task. Because of the "language barrier," I'm sure the audience missed out on a lot of jokes that had the Restoration theater-goers rolling in the aisles, but there were plenty of sexrelated references that a "modern" audience could relate to and enjoy. Often, the gestures and intonations of the actors were enough to keep the crowd entertained . Some of the most amusing scenes involved Shawn Sharknas as the rakish Mr. Harcourt, attempting to seduce Alithea (played with exceptional intelligence by Rebecca Schmitt) right in front of her affected and boorish fiance , Mr. Sparkish. Sparkish was played by Russell Curtis, and his constant preening and exagerated actions were hilarious. Stephen DiRocco and Kim Gross, as the fretful Mr. Pinchwife and his naive young wife (an object ofHorner's affection) provided some very humorous exchanges. Playing the lead a., the "horny" Mr. Horner was .Gene Wachowski . Wachowski ' s facial expressions filled the gaps in some of his spcieches where I'm sure everyone got lost in the maze of 17th century witticisms and innuendo . Some scenes were so filled with "language" that I found myself looking around to scie who else had decided to attend the Sunday afternoon performance . Several scenes where Tawny .Ruslroe, Annette Sch- onscage to contemplate their fate as well-to-do women in the 1600's seemed to last forever. While they were probably making important statements about the lifestyle of women in that era, it was lost in the excessive "verbage" of the time . I pitied these actresses for getting stuck with such mouthfuls of words and can understand why they had the tendency to stand in one spot and recite their lines . Trying to move around the stage and blurt out all they had to say wou!d take an incredible amount of agility. In spite of a few rough spots , I can honestly say I really never got bored; a little stiff, but never bored. At the points where m y ears su-uendered to the onslaught of archaic speech, the dazzling (literally) costumes were enough to keep me entertained . The hat collection alone kept a smile on my face . One thing that pleased me was the number of new faces I saw onstage. Sharksnas, Rushoe, Schmidlin, Whitehead, Ann Costello, Calesta Schmitt, Mark Kahn and John Fin:n were all in their first Wilkes College production. When interest in most other campus activities is d ying , it's nice to see people getting involved in something ." The Country Wife gave not only the audience, but also everyone involved in the production a chance to learn more about a bygone era, not only about the theater but also the attitudes and social ox,pecta.tions of the time .

The lower interest rate became effective November l for the Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students program, also referred to as Parent or ' 'PLUS '' loan program, which makes funds available for financing costs of education not met by state and federal grants or the regular state guaranteed loans for students. Parent loans disbursed before November l were at 14 percent interest. The lower 12 percent rate is expected to remain in effect for at least the next 12 months. • The Parent loans are available to parents of undergraduate students who are dependent on parental support and to graduate and professional students . Undergraduate students who do not enjoy parental support also can qualify under the new program . Conceived at a time of tight money and high interest rates, Parent loans were authorized by federal law in 1980 and approved for Pennsylvania by state enabling legislation the following year. Loans to parents have become an important source of educational funds for many middle-income families because no " needs test" is required. These loans make it possible for parents and student$ to borrow all or part of the " expected family contribution" to their educational costs when it is not possible to meet that expense from savings, current income, or through the regular loans to students under the long-standing state guaranteed program . Participating lenders such as commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loans and credit unions make the Parent loans on a "pay-as-you-learn" basis with repayment ordinarily beginning within 60 days after the loan is disbursed . Minimum monthly payments are $50 and a minimum annual repayment of $600 is set for the program. Repayment may be extended up to ten years. Most lenders require only a standard credit check for Parent loans . Maximum borrowing limits for Parerit loans are $3,000 per student per academic grade level up to an aggregate maximum of $15 ,000 per student for all Parent loans. Undergraduate students who.are independent of their parents' financial support are limited to a combined maximum of $2,500 per academic grade level under both the Parent and regular guaranteed student loan programs up to an aggregate maximum of$12,500 for both programs. Under the Parent program borrower's obligation to pay is cancelled if the parent or student who is borrowing dies or becomes totally and permanently • disabled . Temporary disability and other circumstances can qualify the borrower for deferment of payments on the principal of the loan, although payment of the interest still is required .

Labs are often time-consuming, and for many, impossible to fit into an already crowded academic schedule. The College is offering during spring semester, for the first time, chemistry labs on Saturday mornin~ and chemistry classes in the evening session . . Dr. Virginia Nehring, chairwoman of the Nursing Department said, "We are looking for ways to help students succeed in our curriculum. This may help those coming into the program whether they are full or part time students , R.N.' s who want a baccalaureate degree , or those who have a degree in another discipline but want a second degree in nursing. The schedule should alleviate some of the stressful time situations with which they must deal.'' In addit~on to the chemistry labs, courses in biology needed by nursing.students will also be offered on weekends and at night. Human anatomy and physiology will be offered in the evening with labs on Saturday mornings.. Tentatively scheduled for summer is Chemistry 130, Organic : and ~iological Chemistry, a course planned to complement the biology Anatomy and Physiology spring component. Listed in the spring schedule for these disciplines are: Chemistry 11 1-E, Introduction to Chemical Reactions and Principles, Wednesdays , 6:30-9:30 p.m .; Chemistry 111-El (Lab.) Saturdays, 8:30 a.m . until 12 :30 p.m.; Biology 116 , Human Anatomy and Physiology, Wednesdays, 6:30-9:10 p .m. ; and Biology 116-El (!:.ab.), Saturdays, 9 a.m . until noon.

Page I~ the final score COLONELS: by Chris Baron BASEBALL Top Dogs in MAC Northwest l~'s 5:15 a.m . and I'~e just s·pent the past three hours trying to write a fitting last column. I have many preconceived ideas about what a last column should be: it should be witty, intelligent and insightful. I've already tried the "reminisce about my college athletic career" appro~ch and, though it brought back memories of suffering through l6stra1¥ht losses on the ~ridiron, and the joy of that agonizing streak finally commg to a~ end, I d1dn'4want to devote an entire column to' my personal sports expenences . I considered explaining the ups and downs of being the Beacon sports editor, but concluded that this would be of little use to my readers. I conJemplated telling everyone to "eat my dust and I'll s~e you on the gol1: course," but, although this appealed to me immensely, it would be an obv10us cop-out. I thought about thanking all of my colleagues at The Beacon for accepting me _half-way through t~e sch~ol year, but they all know that I appreciate thelf help and support m turnmg a former jock into a half-decent writer. One of my worst ideas was to tell the college population to get involved because it is the right thing to do . I now realize that nothing I can s;y will change the student apathy that has become so much a part of today's college scene. So , what am I left with? It's now 5:45 a.m., and I'm out of coffee, and ideas. I guess all I really wanted to say was that when I look back on the events that have filled the last four years of my life, I realize I have a collection of experiences, both good and bad, and like anyone else , I hope I can use these to help me in the future. My only piece of advice to next year's co-sports editors is to speak your mind and back it up with facts . This may win you a trip to the president's office every now and then, but it's not such a bad place. No one likes to write, but everyone likes to have written . You'll undoubtably have those nights when you just can't find the right words (much like I did tonight or today or whatever it is now), but keep in mind the satisfaction of seeing your work in print every Friday, though there may be times when it seems you're the only one who appreciates it. ... well, how's that for witty, intelligent and insightful?

Lee • • • • • Levi The Wilkes College baseball team stayed on top of the Northwest League of the MAC when they split a cbubleheader with Juniata, and swept a second one with Dickinson recently. The split with Juniata pushed the Colonels' record to 4-2 in the MAC, and 8 -5 overall. The Colonels lost the opener, 12-4, but won the nightcap, 10-9. In the first game, the Colonels rose to an early lead by scoring six runs in the second inning. John Good popped a two-run · single, and Rich Geffert drilled a two-run double in tt:is scoring spree. Juniata made a comeback and regained 5 runs to tie the game 6-6 after three innings . Ken Sorrick highlighted the fifth inning when he smashed a 390-foot homerun which tied the game at 7-7. The Colonels scored three more runs , and led 10-8 in the last inning. They managed to stave off a Juniata surge when Good recov ered a line drive up the middle , and forced the runner. at second, which allowed Juniata only one run . The Colonels swept their second doubleheader on Tuesday against Dickinson College., They beat the Red Devils 5-1 in the first game, and 3-1 in the nightcap. In the first game, winning pitcher Nick Volpetti tallied his third win of the season when he struck out six and walked two. Sorrick. scored the first run for the Colonels on a triple that resulted in a bad relay to the plate. Sorick and Ted Komoroski were both 4 for 7. In the second game, which went into an extra inning, the Colonels broke a 1-1 tie by scoring two runs in the eighth. The Colonels trailed , 1-0 ,inti! Ed Domzalski tied up the game with a double. Komorski doubled in Ned Sandercock, and Komorski then scored by virtue of Dom- · zalski's RBI single. Winning pitcher Dana Colavetti, 3-1 on the season, struck out 7 and walked two. The wins pushed the Colonels far ahead of Dickinson in the MAC standings, as Dickinson was within one game of the Colonels before the sweep. Coach Bob Duliba was pleased with his team's performance on the road. He was impressed with the way the Colonels played. "We had a great pitching performance from -Volpetti and Colavetti,'' he said. Duliba was also confident that the end of the season would find the Colonels on top. He added. ''If we keep playing like this, we ' ll have the championship in hand.'' Holmes Gives Scranton a Needed Shot in the Arin by Michele James It was quite an opportunity for the city of Scranton to play host to the World Heavyweight Championship bout belween Larry Holmes and Lucien Rodriguez this year. Not 'only was it a great day for the slouching city of Scranton, but it may also be a great beginning for the sport of boxing in this area. Although boxing may seem to be a somewhat controversial sport, it has given the city of Scranton an opportunity to get its name on the map , so to speak . Larry Holmes began his career in this city and · did not forget it. Unlike other successful celebrities who made it to the top , forgetting all those little people, Mr. Holmes did not. This championship bout was his and he could have done it whereever he wished . Fortunately, he wished it to be in Scranton . Not only did Holmes' choice of location impress this writer , it -also impressed thousands of fans from all di rections outside Scranton . It is amazing how one person can give so much inspiration to so many people. But the impression woh 't stop at one fight. Looking into the future, Larrv Holmes sees Scranton as becoming the boxing capital of the worl<l. He and Mayor McNulty have been throwing around some ideas concerning the proposition . One such idea is the erection of an edifice to house the Boxing Hall of Fame. Although nothing has been ma<le official, its location will be across from the Memorial Stadium . What a shot in the arm this could be for the town of Scranton. I salute Holmes for remembering where he came from , and for doing something to benefit not himself but thousands of people in this area . We all thank him.

Ever since it was '' retired.'' I have been putting it to good use as a convenient shelf for shoes, boxes, . .. etc. Well , since this is the last issue of The Beacon for the 1982-83 academic year and also the final one of my senior year, I thought that it would be appropriate if I dragged it out for an official farewell performance. Therefore , I have ' reconditioned m y behch with some sandpaper and a dou ble coat of glossy navy blue and gold paint ; and I hereby dedicate this fi nal column ro the Wilkes College Athletic Department in thanks for all of the unforgettable experiences which I have had during the past fo ur years . In case you have not noticed , I have become enamored of graphics and statistics as of late . Such items are both eye-catching and straight forward . For this farewell column, I have dug up some very interesting special effects which I feel may in some bizarre way epitomize m y associations with both the Athletic Department and The Beacon . The rather humorous cartoon accompanying this column I uncovered in a 1976 edition of The Beacon; and I compiled the accomp~nying statistics with the help of the library. This cartoon , as it did back in 1976, typifies a problem which the women 's athletic programs have been facing for eternity. Not much has changed since the first printing of this cartoon seven years ago . There has been a chronic lack of support and respect for the women 's athletic programs. Many people still consider women 's sports to be like the physical education classes, unskilled and comical. Whereas the men' s programs receive much respect, fan support, financial support, and media exposure in our male dominated society, the women's programs conversely receive little or nothing at all . If the credibility of the respective programs depended upon the above items, then the women 's programs would be in deep trouble . They would fail to exist . Thank God for Title IX! However, fortunately, credibility does not depend upon such extraneous factors as those listed above. The proper criterion for the establishment of credibility is success as expressed in victories and defeats. Performance is the bottom line , not respect , fan support , financial support , or media exposure. Normally, the latter items accrue to those teams which sport success in the vii;tory column . Unfortunately, in the case of the women 's programs, it has taken a bit longer for this to happen . As the accompanying statistics indicate, it is high time that women's sports at Wilkes College were taken seriously. As shown by the impr'.)vement in the winning percentage , it is evident that women's athletics have graduated from the physical education class and have moved to a level of equality with the ir male counterparts. It could even be said that they have surpassed them . Such insights are not intended as a condemnation of the men's programs. Considering the past athletic history of the Colonels , such _a slump , as indicated by the statistics, can not be expected to continue for long. All that is intended is that it is time that the women' s programs received their just deserts. They have paid their dues, and it is high time that they received commensurate levels of respect, fan support , financial support , and media exposure . This is all that any program, whether it be a men 's or a women 's, could ask of its college. In 1982 -83 the women 's athletic programs have elevated themselves to a level of equal stature with the men' s programs , and it is time that they started to be treated accordingly. * * * * As a postscript to this my final column for The Beacon, I would like to recognize all of those who helped to make iny tenure as Sports Editor a success . I would like to thank all of those who spent their time and effort covering sports during my year and a half tenure . Special thanks to Karen Bove, Mark Sarisky, Kim Smith , Susan Defrates, Tim Williams, Pat Brannon , Suzette Dyanick , Mike Brautigan , Chris DaRe, Loris Depri, Stephen Thomas, Jennifer Golding, and to all of the coaches and athletes who have been so helpful and cooperative. In conclusion, I would like to commend the current Sports Editor of The Beacon, Chris Baron , on a job well done. Also, good luck to Charles Yozwiak and Tim Williams who will serve as co-sports editors for the 1983-84 academic )'ear.

Page I 'i Sftracirio Na-me·d Beacon Coach Of The Year by Ellen Van Riper Eacb year ,The Beacon has the honor of selecting a Coach of the Year. At this time, The Beacon is proud and pleased to announce that Doris Saracino, the head coach of the Lady Colonel volleyball team, has been chosen as the outstanding coach for the 1982-83 academic year. When informed of her selection, Coach Saracino was quite surprised. She said that she did not expect the honor ''because there are so many good coaches at the College.'' There are indeed some very fine coaches at Wilkes College, but it is hard to deny success which Coach Saracino's volleyball team achieved this past fall. Under her guidance, the Lady Colonels had their best season ever. They compiled a 16-6 overal I record, won their first Middle Atlantic Conference Northeast Division title, won their thirdstraight Northeast Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate •Athletic Association (NPWIAA) title, and placed fifth at the MAC championships. Such success has not come about overnight for Coach Saracino and her team. This past season can be considered as the culmination of a th ree year process. In 1980, the Lady Colonels poste d an 11 -8 mark to finish second in thie division and qualified for the MAC championships for the first time ever. The following year Saracino 's troops posted a 12-5 mark during their regular season, again took second in their division, and qualified for the MAC championships for . the second straight year. In 1982 , the Lady Colonels seemed to have put it all together; and, according to Coach Saracino, the success of the team was a result of unitv. pride 1 _and _dedication on the p;u ,, each and every meml:x?r . Ca11; ,,g them "the best team I'Vl' ever had." Coach Saracino commented that her team was "a united group. a family that knew what each other thought and felt all of the time both on and off the court.'' Coach Saracino continued and said that ther team was "exactly how a team should be," and that it was the "first time in twenty years of coaching that I have accomplish ed this with a team." She con cluded by saying that ''the team won this award, not I." There ~re special moments in every season, especially in such a successful one. Coach Saracino . cited two in particular which she said that she will never forget. The first was hei: team 's victory over the Lady Royals of the Uni versity of Scranton on September ~l. -The match went to five ga_mes, and the Lady Colonels prevailed three games to two. It was the first time that a Wilkes volleyball team had ever defeated a University of Scranton volleyball team . Coach Saracino stated that she ''will never forget it as long as I live.'' She will never forget the victory, but she will perhaps always also recall her team's response when she suAAested a postgame c;elebration. They all said, "Sorry Coach, we have to study." After the gym was empty, Coach Saracino said that she sat in the dark · gym all by herself, and "it took me a long time to come down .'' It seemed as if that victory over Scranton had set the tone for the entire se-Json, from then on the Lady Colonels were nearly in vincible. The second highlight of the season, according to Coach Saracino. was the MAC championships at DickiR~n College. The two previous years I Ii. : • !:, Colonels had qualified for 1• "I season play only to be shut -out on both occasions. Both years had ended on a disappointing note. However. the third time around things were different. The ladies defeated Muhlenhurg in their open ing match, were defeated by Gettysburg in their second match, were defeated by the eventual champions, Juniata College, in the third . and posted a victory over Moravian Colle_ge in their fourt h and final match. Doris Saracino has been associat ed with the Wilkes College Ath letic Department since 1960. She is a graduate of East Stroudsburg State College, and she ha~ served as the director of women's athletics since 1960. She organized both the basketball and field hockey teams and acted as coach of both until ·1910. She also founded the Letterwomen's Club and had served as the advisor since 1963. Coach Saracino organized the volleyball team in 197 5, and she has served as the head coach ever since. Presently, she is both the director of women's athletics and the head of the physical educa-tion department. She is also current Iv Wilkes' women's representative to the Middle Atlantic Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Basically , Coach Saracino 's coaching philosophy is aimed at "always trying to win more than the year before." However, she said that it "will he hard to top th is year." She had nothing hut kind word~ for each and every member of her nine - plaver team. She said that next year she will have a hard time replacinl!

Coach Saracino also had praise for her three non-starting players, who although they did not start, still contributed to the team . Beth Latini was a dependable seventh . person who was always ready to enter the game, especially in pressure situations. Helen Brannon. when the team experienced a 1,ist1 of injuries, proved to be . a ~olid and dependable player: and Sherri Zimmerman was a dedicated and accurate lines judge. Looking to next season.

Golfers Plllce·7th InMA C'S After registering only one win during the regular season, the Wilkes linksters shocked everyone when they finished seventh out of 20 teams in the Middle Atlantic Conference Playoffs. Last year the Colonels placed a distant 19th out of 21 teams. Because of wet conditions at the Edgey;ood In The Pines Golf Course, the annual tournament was moved to the Parkview Golf · Course at Hershey. The rain didn't spare the Hershey course and Sunday's first round was shortened to 12 holes. After the abbreviated round the Colonels were sitting in third place. On Monday the 20 team field was forced to play 24 holes in a light, steady rain. . FDU-Madison captured first place honors while King's College was runner up for the second straight year. The Colonels were one of only ten teams who cracked the 700 mark,withateamtotalof689. Jeff Tokach turned in a 36 hole total of 164, finishing fifth in the tournament. Tokach fired rounds of 83 and 81. Larry Malack shot a 171, turning in rounds of 84 and 82. Rich Kinkharst followed with a 180, firing round5 of 85 and_95. Ray Ward had rourid5 of 91 and 90 for a 36 hole total of 181. Kevin Stankewicz turned in a 182 with rounds of94 and 88. • Head Coach Rollie Schmidt said that he was very pleased with the team's performance because they finished higher than many of the teams who had beaten them during the year.

However, in a hard-fought contest, one which Diane thought the Lady Colonels should have won, the women from Wilkes were downed 10. The other memorable game occu,red during her freshman year, and this one had a happier ending. In order to advance to the MAC playoffs, the Lady Colonels had to · defeat Franklin & Marshall. According to Diane, F&M is always good and has perenially been a roadblock in the Lady Colonels' path to the MAC's. Well, this time around the Lady Colonels prevailed in a double flick-off ( this is field hockey jargon ;,.., rlnnhl,- nvrrtimt> )_ The highlight of her career.had to have been her selection to the Mi- <least team and the trip to the Nationals. According to Diane, she could not believe it, and it was "a dream come true.'' What spells success for Diane Hall? Diane attributes her athletic success to two things; her love of field hockey and her hard work. Ever ~ince the beginning, she has been a self-proclaimed perfectionist, for "to be a good player it takes a lot of hard work, and I wanted to be more than just a basic and average player." In her four years at Wilkes, Diane has seen and experienced a lot. This oast vear the field hockev team had a numbers problem. Diane said that, even though "Wilkes is not an ath, letic school, there is still a need for more participation. We need to join forces in backing the sports. Numbers have to be increased.'' As for the field hockey program and its head coach Gay Meyers, Diane has nothing but praise. "Since my freshman year, the program has been built. Wilkes has become a good field hockey school. We almost got a national bid this year. On the whole, there is a lot of potential for all of the women's programs." According' to Diane, the motivating force behind the rise to respectability of the Wilkes field hockey pro- gram has been Gay Meyers. '' She is a wonderful lady. She stands behind her players both on and off the field . She has brought respect to the program ." Diane Hall is more than just an athlete, for she has also received recognition and has been active off the field as well. She was selected as a mem ber of the 1983 Who's Who Among Students of American Colleges and Universities, she has been a Dorm Council Secretary in 1982 and 1983, she was the game coordinator for the 1981-82 Cherr)' Blossom Festival, she was a Dorm Council President in 1980-81, and she was the Letterwomen's Club Recording Secretary in 1980-81. With graduation quickly approaching, Diane already has her eyes aimed toward the future. After graduation, she hopes to take some time off before she begins to seriously look fo~ employment in either public administration or personnel. Eventually she plans on receiving her Mastc;r's. She also has some thoughts of becoming a field hockey coach. What the future ha!; in store for Diane no one knows . However, if her recent past here at Wilkes College is to serve as an indicator, then she definitely has a bright future before her. Once again, congratulations from all of us at The Beacon. �w:~.:~~.. BEACON SPORTS VolXXXV No.22 Af>ril 29, 1983 Mark Popple: 1983 Male Athlete Of The Year t,yO.Batoo At the annual all-college awards lu ncheon Tuesday, Mark Popple was named the Beacon Male Athlete of the Year for the second straight year. Popple's four years at Wilkes have been a continuous exercise in success. He is the local boy who stayed at home and re-wrote the Wilkes re cord books. After graduating from Coughlin High School, Mark turned his efforts to Division I wrestling. During his junior y<;.ar he set re cords for most consecutive wins, 24, most season victories, 29 , most decisions in a se~on, 15 , and most d ual victories in a season , 20 . He sits at the top of the all-tim e Colonel win column . As a senior, Popple was a constant fixt ure in the weekly top-IO rankings . He compiled a season record of 25-5- 1 and led all W ilkes wrestlers in the win c·olumn . He helped the Colonels capture their first Wilkes Open title in fifty years when he took top honors in the annual tournament. His first place finish in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Associations Championships marked the first time a Wilkes grappler brought home tpp honors since 1979. Although he has enjoyed more success than most college athletes, his career has not been free from dis- app&i1uments. 1\vo years ago Popple missed All-American status when he was pinned in the semifi nals in the national fi nals at Iowa State. This season he went into the national finals in Oklahoma City seeded fifth in his weight class . On the first day of competition he won two matches and put himself into the quarterfinals. Wilkes-Barre area newspapers were calling him an AllAmerican , but they hadn ' t taken into account wrestle backs. Popple had suffered a knee injury in his second match and could hardly walk, much less wrestle. W ith All-American status . close enough to taste , he took to the mats. Popple wrestled on 50% physical ability and 100% heart , but came up short. He was decisioned 7-6 . W ilkes Coach, John Reese said of that match , "It was one of the most incredible matches I' ve ever seen . He was wrestling on one leg and he almost pulled it off.' ' Reese advised Popple to forfeit his last chance at All-American status because of the serious knee injury, which would later require surgery. Popple ignored his mentor's advice and hobbled onto the mats . His dream of being an All-American · faded when he suffered a 5-1 defeat. O ne wou.ld ·expect Popple to be bm:er about l!hc llRffmely injury, Inn in his usual optimistic fashion, he took it in stride . "I just wanted to be an AllAmerican , but I still consider myself lucky," he said . "If the inj ury would ha".e come earlier in the season I never would have been able to make it that far. " He did however express disappointment over the up and down season the Colonels had this year. He said, "I was really disappointed in our record because I though t this was the best team Wilkes ever had .'' Is there life after W ilkes? In the case of Mark Popple the answer is a resounding "Yes." , Mark will be graduating in May with a degree in Business Administration and w.iH to to work immediately for his father' s construction business . · His wrestling career is far from over. He has been offered head Coaching positions at Wyoming Seminary and Plains Junior High School. After his knee heals he expects to wrestle in summer tournaments and will probably be hack at Wilkes fo r the annual alumni match and the Wilkes O pen. Popple said that his wrestling career will help in the fu ture because it has helped h im learn decipline and has shown him that hard work pays Mark Popple, Beacon Male Athlete of the Year, on his way to another victory. off in the long run. He had nothing but praise for John Reese . " He has been a major influence in my success," Popple said. "He is one of the best in the country. His record speaks for itself." Mark is living proof that local athletes don't have to go ro highpowered out-of-town colleges in or- der to become successful in college athletics. He stayed in the Wyoming Valley and carved out a Wilkes College wrestling legacy. His positive attitude and constant hard work will undoubtedly- carry ·over into all of his future endeavors. It would not be surprising if some day he was named as successor· to John Reese as Colonels' Mentor.
