Gundry News Editor The First Annual All-College Convocation held in the Wilkes 8ymnas1um on SUnday, was marred by poor attendance by the studentry. Most of the seats were filled with members of the convocotion and an estimated fifty students were in attendance. The prOJram began w1th a procession of the ent1re f~ulty, dressed in full acaoomic regalia, to their seats in the mi<t11e of fhe wmnasium. Gerald E. Hartdegoo, Dean of AcooemicAffalrs oollvered the opening remarks to the audience. Hartoo;Jan noted a "feellng of optimism in the air at Wilkes College" and.said, "we can make Wilkes College an exciting pl~ to be In the 1980's." Following Hartdegoo's ~ess. was a performance by the Wilkes College chorus with a version of Notes on Thomas Paine. Richard Chap line was the conductor. The new president of the college, Christopher N. Breiseth, was the next to take the podium. Most of Breiseth's speech was directed toward the student bro,, and how we must "oofine who we are , and what we will commit ourselves to oo." Breiseth's speech urged stuoonts to take many directions In their college years Including participating In all forms of extra-curricular ~ttvtties as well as aiding in the clean-up of the Pres.Breiseth Adresses the Convocation Photo by Al Knox Convocation cont.in1J'.?d on pg .3 Vol. XXXVIII No. 3 September 25. 1984 Wilkes-Barre. PA 18766 River Project Builds Community Contidence by Eric S. Gundry News Editor Almost thirteen years later , workers are still laboring to repair damc:ge caused by the flood that ripped through Wilkes-Barre in 1972. Machiner•J used for river enforcement Photci by Eric S. Gund r y The operat1on now underway Is using a large crane and a few bulloozers in order to restore dam~ sections of the riverbank. "We hope to restore greater strength to the banks in order to prevent any flooding in the rainy season that's coming," a worker on the sight commented. Bulloozers are used in the construction of a second occess road along the riverbank in order for heavier m~hinery to be brought in and to allow occess in case of an emergency. This rim will make any further changes oone on the bank easier to accomplish , and more convenient for the workers. Another project In progress is removing some of the silt and mud, building up between the rocks of the river bed. The crane is used to lift this s11t out, while leaving the rocks In the river. This allows water to flow throc,;jl the rocks instead of building up and rising over the river banks. The mud left on the banks also serves to reinforce the dike and keep the water from rising too high. "We oon·t expect any trouble with the reinforcements that we have now," one worker commented,"but you can never be too safe.· This activity, up and oown the bank, is expected to remain for at least a few more mys and possible minor repairs may be rerldel ed to a pumping station that is located on the bank, according to one of the workers. The strengthening of the dike provims neEml reassurance as ooemed necessary by many members of the community. An observer of the scene stated, "Everyday I walk along the dike to watch their progress. oo}y b~use I find the whole thing very interesting. But I'm also elated that the community can feel safe from any further dfsasters lfke in 1972. • �E1i11JID®i1JA1.G Communication is a necessary sk ill for any organization to function efficiently. Failure to commun icate breeds confusion and can spawn distrust. While we at the Beacon are pleased to be the f irst to Inform the campus about current proposals and decisions, we ar.e not pleased with the * apparent lack of openness with which some decisions are made. The lead story In each of the f irst two issues of the Beacon ("Theatre Decision Sparks Controversy" and "Spli t In Departments may Bring on Program Change") focuses on a controversy. Controversy Is something any responsible colJege paper should address. Unfortunately, some dimensions of these specific controversies, we feel, stem simply from poor communication. There was such a severe lack of communication between administrators, faculty, and students before the "proposals" were made, that tempers flared and Issues themselves became clouded. Had there been proper communication between the concerned parties, much of the controversy could have been avoided. In both the above situations there was an absence of communication on all levels. Who Is responsible Is not Important. What ls Important Is the fact that the. problem exists. Wi thin the last few weeks a number of faculty members and administrators were surprised to learn from the Beacon those things which were already In the administrative planning stages. Adm inistrators are here to make decisions, but the best decisions are made when the entire college community Is consulted. At the convocation this week, President Christopher N. Brelseth called for clearer communication between the campus and the community. Perhaps we need clearer communication within the campus itself. In the words of President Brelseth: "... In all cases, the Intelligent analys is of... problems requires clear, Informed communication among people bringing different intellectual and professional perspectives to bear. " Also at the convocation, Dean Gerald Hartdagen called for more trust. We wholJy agree, trust must begin with all of us, on~ level of the campus, respect ing each other as responsible adults. Student Questions Wrestler Work-Study To the Editor: The Wilkes Coll~ wrestling · team is the only Division I intercollegiate sport that this campus has, and because of this, the wrestlers can acquire a lot of financial aid fn the form of scholarships and work stuay. One of these work study jobs entails taking care of the athletic complex at Kirby Park. However, I oorl't understand exactly what we pay them for. The soccer team had a game against Division I Virginia Tech on Sunday, and before the game, they had to IJl over to the fieId early to move the IJ)als and repair the nets. The soccer team also had to clean up the mess which was left from S6turday's football game. Fortunately, coach Bel lafr s· wife came to the assistance of the team and cleanoo up the mess. All of these jobs were supposed to have been handled by the ~ students, mainly wrestlers, on work stucty over at the sports complex. What oo they get paid for? After all, the students pay their salaries· indirectly'through their tuitions and other fees. I think we deserve our money's worth from these "employees". An Agitated Athlete Alumna Angered To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the article published recently about the controversy surrounding Dr. O'Ne111 and Mr. Al Groh. I feel the need to respond for both personal and practical reasons. Briefly - I have been lnllJ8inted with Mr. Groh since the days when the now-demolished Chase stables served as the theatre department's very active heactp.Jarters, through his time as the widely adm ired director of the dep~tment in the late '6O's, and into his years as the evidently unappreciated Director of Cultural Affairs. Of course I am partisan as far as thfs current controversy IJ)es; if Dr. O'Neill or any of the people under his, Mr. Holm's or Mr. Phair's tutelage ever achieve the degree of college and community service that Mr. Groh has, tt wm perhaps be more difficult for me to react strongly in favor of what they noooubt consi~r the "old guard" - i.e., Al Groh. Considering your staffs relative youth and lack of experience in objective newspaper reporting, I feel the slant you gave in your confusing article ( Is the move to the C.P .A. for Mr. 6roh a fa1t ix;comp)j or merely a proposal? - very confusing... ) to the similarly young Dr. O'Neill understandable. But why oo you paint Mr. Groh as the defender of a d8nclng school you so obviously have contempt for instead of as the patron of more commonly respected artistic enterprises throughout the valley? You make mention of showcase's contribution to the coll~ for the accomooetions Wilkes gives it, but ooyou anywhere suggest that the reason for Showcase's ( and Barbara Woronko's) use of the center in the first place is because of the apparent lack of use the theatre is getting from the Wilkes theatre department? Dr. O'Neil l's COl'KESCeflding, fatuous quote of Newman's perhaps explains why the theater department Is not the source of popular community entertainment it once was: if a professor's attitude toward the public is one of such intense noblesse obliW, how can one possibly expect the humble but rousing, satisfying entertainment we IJ)t in the 6O's from shows 11ke cameJot, How to SY<WJI !o Bus1ness W1thout Really Trying, The Teahouse of the August Moon os well as intel lectuol ly m.ctguew:: pieces such as The Lottery and othe)Jo? Would the argument in response be that the 6O's were the 6O's and that the 8O's are the 8O's? - or that Mr. Groh "peaked" in the former decade? If Mr. Groh was not proouclno the number of shows by the mid 7O's that he had been used to ( by the time the "new guard" made their appearance), perhaps it was because of some private reason known only by himself and the inner sanctum of the "theater" department, and chance acquaintences of both. Quiet black-balling of this~ man - I use the term purposely - began around this time. How can anyone produce when they are the object of a united hosti le front? To make a theatrical analogy, I don't imagine Shakespeare would have refused the chance for retreat when Richard II brought himsuch head!Ehes from court personnel - not that Mr. Groh is as audacious a man as Shakespeare was in this incident. It is time that the more mild-mannered, reasonable youth of WiJkes College be alerted to the need of respecting those men and women responsible for creating the great scholastic and artistic tradition Wilkes Coll~ has acquired over the years. It is also time for those adm inistrative people who regard onlu the latest and most arr(YJ8nt college personnel with respect to remember that not a few great artists had periods in which they retired from public activity of the most energetic sort to gather strength for their next creative venture. Will Mr. O'Nefll be around twenty years from now, oonating his free time to the interests of culture in Wilkes-Barre? Should Mr. Groh , who has spent his free time in this manner, and for a longer per loo of time, be cast aside and tr~ted badly by student wr iters who oon't even know what he has achieved for the school and can still achieve - if pressure and ill-will from no ooubt enviou~ men are removed from him? Where is your breeding. Wilkes College? You may have ivy on your walls, but your attitude toward scholastic fssues and collegiate heroos is oocidedly low-hr-n<u An Angered and Disappointed Alumnas, Hilary Palencar �PAGE THREE Students, President Discuss Theatre Controversy by Kathy Hyde copy editor At a meeting with a group of students held last Thursday. President Breiseth stated that he found the B.mm article concerning the CPA controversy "bizarre." The article represented, said Breiseth, "one whole perspective I tmn't heard." The Pres1dent went on to Sc/>/ * Convocation contin1Jed from pg.1 th6t he was ooncernecl bec8use he felt th6t the .8BOD had neglected to fu IJy exp lore what was referred to as 'the administration's' point of view. Breiseth said th6t he had an appointment to see the author of the article, Eric Gundry. on the day before the issue came out. and that Gundry had failed to · keep the appo1ntmeot. Gundry reports that he arrived at his oorm that afternoon and was told that the President's office had phoned to chan~ the appotntment to a time community itself. He emphasized that the students must explore their wor Id and "be open and sharing." , The pr(XJram continued with a performance of "Touchstones" by the Wind Ensemble of Wilk~ College. "Touchstones" was premeired on the occasion of the Massachusetts Music Educator's Silver Jubilee Festival in Boston's Symphony Hall on January 29, 1983. The piece was narrated by Hartoogan who quoted John Fi~ald KennOO)' throughout. He spoke of the importance of the arts, and "what art can meen .in the light of the community, for the soul of a nation." "If more politicians knew poetry, and more poots knew polttics, I'm convinced the world would be a better place to live," Hartdegan quoted. The Alma Mater was then performed and followed by the giving of the benediction by Robert E. ()Jren, Professor of Biology. The procession then filed out of the auditorium and met again in the Stark lobby and courtyard for a reception with the audience. One student on hand said,"The president's speech was optimistic, but m~ no impact on the students, he never really said anything." President Breiseth will be officially plim1 In office on April 14, 1984. points of strain" in the oocument. Breiseth explained that five separate incidents of organizational difficulties at the CPA had demanood his attention shortly after his arrival In July. "It was obvious to me that we needed to put Bruce Phair bock in the CPA full time, which we did." This move reversed a previous organizational change, announced in December, 1982, which had divided Phair's time between the CPA and the Media Center in the library. The possibility of also moving Groo, Director of Cultural Affairs, into the CPA, was, llXOrding to Breiseth, an effort to further correct the problems he had encountered. Breiseth stated that there was "absolutely no intention to reduce the theatre's program or impoct." He described the CPA as a "oouble-headed monster" which, by its very nature, produces an "inherent tension" when efforts are mtm to satisfy both the college and the community.

Klemow, assistant professor of biology at Wilkes College, has been notified that his paper, "Plant Community Development in an Abandoned Limestone Quarry: A Demographic Assesment," will be published in the "Proceedings of the Miami International Symposium on the Biosphere." Dr. Klemow presented the paper and served as a session co-chairman at the Symposium, which was held in Florida earlier this year. The research was to determine the population biology of several species of herbaceous plants growing in an abandoned limestone quarry near Syracuse, New York. Dr. Klemow·s research is relevant to this area of Pennsylvania because of the many mine strippings in the region, which for economic, environmental and aesthetic reasons, must be reclaimed. The current methods of reclamation involve drastic site changes that are expensive and time-consuming. Klemow hopes to find an alternative, less expensive method, which takes advantage of the fact that vegetation develops naturally on strip-mined sites, especially if given the proper environment. His studies on the limestone quarry have shown that many seedlings do germinate but , most then die very quickly.

We are all here to learn -- and I would suooest , we are all here . to t81'dl. It Is Jn the lnter~tlon, both personal and Intellectual, we have with 8l'dl other that we nourish the life of the mind. Our own individual learning, our own discovery of new knowledge, new truth . takes on significance as we communicate it to others. Here we have the opportunity to test Ideas and discover the power In differing concepts of truth , and in the process to define who we are and what we will comm it ourselves to oo to help the larger human family prosper and survive. Each of you in the sturent booy is working out a personal agenda for a future career. For some the road seems clear end open to a field and a job you have long hoped to reach. For others, the road Is full of curves and the ultimate destination unclear. As your education prO!)resses, some now certain of the cp,1 will become unsure and change course; others who have been uncertain will discover a new direction and take It. We on the faculty and staff are here to help you work through this opportunity for a lifetime. You also need to help each other. While disciplined intellectual effort rests upon your strlll}Jle to oovelop and sharpen the ~ities you were born with - - and this is a lonely process - - the effort takes on significance as you communicate the results to others. American colleges and unlverslUes have long dtvlded knowledge Into separate disciplines, which In general have been clusteroo into the humanities, the natural and physical sciences and the social sciences. Formal education l~ing to an ~ i c degree has typically focused on one 113Bll1c d1sc1pllne. More recently, many ~laureate degrees have been linkoo with the preparation for specific careers, Including training in the methoos and skills recJJired by these careers. In both cases, of the disciplinary degree 8nd of the professional career del;J'ee, there has been tension between the general liberal education pls of American hi!tier education, and the specific oomands of particular disciplines or career areas. Wilkes, with other colleges and universities, will be analyzing its liberal m-ts curriculum in the coming years to make sure that it effectively supports our students so that they acquire a broad view of 'knowleoJe In Its several cate,p-1es and learn how to apply this knowl80J8 to understand and to deal with complex situations. The intelligent application of knowl80J8 is humankind's best means of coping creatively and effectively with our shared problems. While some of those problems are ong:>ing and seemingly eternal or at least perennial, many are new and r~ire new approaches. In helping you to make your contributions to the resolution of some of these problems In your communities or occupational areas, we need to help you pull the many intellectual disciplines together, to reintegrate knowleoJB. At the same time, we need to help you see your careeer preparation In the larger context of the society within which it will be applloo. There are at least two urgent reasons why this task of integration or synthesis Is critical. One is that the challenging problems facing us ,not only in America but throughout the world cannot be deflnoo, much less anatyzoo and attackoo lntelll1J3ntly without the disciplines being brought together ond focused upon these problems.

Monsen F88ture Editor have this problem of crashing fa first into our desks in the mio:lle of class. I was reaiing Voltaire's ·Cendtoo or Optimism· which was written somewhere around the year 1760 and I mo a Jtttle discovery. Boreoom isn't a new condition that surfaced in the I 960's lt~e I tllot.qlt. It seems ~ writers and philosophers have been concerned with bormn, probably since the discovery of life. C8ndioo 1s a young man who takes part in some unbelievable adventures that almost get him killoo. But at the end of his ca,issey he maintains that he would have rather Pl8 through all the pain, anglush,hunger and spilloo blood he enduroo, rather than stay In one pl~ and be bored. As a matter of fact Csndioo had a chance to stay in a pin very close to the Utopia we are all searching for and live forever. But he passoo it up because he said that he wou Id be bored In due time. Are we all oostlnoo to be bored for the rest of time? I hope not, and I especial Jy hope those fellows sitting in front of the buttons that will inevitibally launch world war three oon't ever get bored because if they CD and they oocioo to !JI push-button crazy, none of us will ever have to worry about being bored again. I've been told the key to avoiding boreoom is to find something you Jove to CD, and CD it. But in order to find what you love, you have to try all kinds of boring things while searching for something to hold your Interest. This is probab Jy the reason so many people out there are so unhappy; they're searching for something they can't seem to find. But like C8ndloo, ft Is our duty as human beings to strive to find ~ in the land of borecbm. ....,,_.__,.....,,...------ Boreoom is running rampant in our world. It's too f!l!BI/ to get bored and much too hard to pay attention. Boreoom seems to thrive on college students, but oon·t let it fool you, borailnL,. fea15 on everyone. One of my professors was tell1ng a class full of half-dam! students the other d8y that its alrl~t to be bored, you can't escape it. It's hard to be interestoo in one thing for 50 minutes strai~t. He said his attention span is somewhere In the range of seven minutes. Thank Cbi, I tllot.qlt , at least I'm not the only one! He continued and told the class that ff we think Its boo now, to waft until we get into the "real world. and have to fa the same thing d8y after day after day. I reelly admire people that can push th~ each day without putting a gun to the sioo of their head, how can they deal with the boreoom? Personally I think that if I end up in a stale situation punching a card somewhere I mi~t as well take the big leap now.

For all Pink Floyd lovers who fell In love with the band's latest masterpiece, The Fina) cut, and tts emotional and almost neurotic lead vocals which obviously came from Water's heart, this latest album, entitled The Pros Qnd r,ons of Hitchhikll'.XJ, will convince all that he Is one of the few musical geniuses still around. The Proo and r-OOS of Hitchhiking Involves a collection of very talented musicians play1nQ behind Waters. Eric Clapton cbes an amozing Job as Jami guitarist , while David Sanborn provloos some biting saxaphone. Althotql it seems the "Flaydlan· sound Is lacking musically, Waters satisfies the starving Pink Floyd fan's appetite with his powerful vocals. Clapton cbes a very fine job on lead guitar but the true Pink Floyd lover will miss the crvina ~itar of David Gilmore, the lead singer and guitarist of the band. When I flrst listened to this album, I heard exactly what I had expected; an album so finely put together and produced, that the listener has no choice but to fall In love with it. The album's songs blend together with perfection. The concept of the album Is Water's description of a <ream he had one ni~t. It opens with a song entitled "Apparently They Were Travellng Abrcm. • and ends with "The Moment of Clarity,· a song which compel led me to start the whole album again from the beginning. The rest of songs on the album tie the beginning and the end together perfectly. Such songs as "Sexual Revolution," are very powerful tunes both lyrically 8nd musically. The title track, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking," proves to the listener that Eric Clapton hasn't lost a step , he is still a superior talent. other tracks tncluoo songs that describe Water's dream w sso u Is hard to believe that anyone would ever attempt to put these feelings and experierx:es oown on vinyl. When you listen to this detail it's f!l!BI/ to understand why It took Waters 11 months to record this masterpiece. Some. songs that will linger in your head for days after first listening to this album are: "Q> Fishing," which is one of the finest songs both lyrically and musically on the entire album. I ff nd such an album. with lyrics that are straight from the soul and music that guioos you through the fantasy, efS'/ to relate to because Waters is describing an every-night experience: a dream. This album deserves to be given a chance. I feel that you will be am8Zed at the way this work flows musically and lyr1cally. I bel1eve this album is a "classic" in the sense that it has a purpose. If you think about ft for a second, mus1c tooay is really lacking when it comes to feeling , oopth and meaning. The music may sound great but your imagination suffers. It's not common these days to fInd an album that sounds great musically and also allows you to use your Imagination to find something you relate to.

Engineers are needed to figure out how to mooify existing water systems to protect them from contamination as well as m~ water to secure supply in times of drought and to protect ageinst flood in times of heavy rain or runoff. To change our present Wf!i/S of handling water involves politics at the most local level as well as at the regional, state, and national levels. The costs of change involve economics including how to finance improvements and thus involves the tax system. T~ understand how our Wf!i/S of dealing with water -- both responsible and irr~ible -- have evolved over time, we even need historians. In tntition, people skl11ed in management, public health , environmental ·planning, law, applied computer technolog,,, and r,ublic persuasion will all be necessary to secure our water resources for the future -- and they need to be able to work together. Whatever we can oo to better manage this precious resource can hove obvious benefit elsewhere for the problems surrounding water supplies are global. Specialists from Northeast Pennsylvania should find opportunities here as well as elsewhere in the world. One can identify other problem areas - - the supply of food for the world's · population , the dramatically changing health care system, employment and unemployment in the post-industrial economy, reforming our educational system to meet the changing needs of individuals and the larger society, both national and , worldwide, and so on. In all cases, the intell1gent analysts of these problems requires clear, informed communtcatton among people bringing different intellectual and professional perspectives to bear. The Wf!i/S we on the f~ulty educate students ought to prepare them to enter these challenging struooles with our environment and with ~ other so as to make the most effective contribution possible. The second ur113nt reason why integrating the different fields of knowleo;Je ought to be a goal of our curriculum is that the careers ovailable to individuals will be linked to the society's changing Wf/t/S of dealing with these problems. Those individuals who have learned to analyze our problems and our opportunities In a comprehensive Wf/t/, and to ~uire the perspectives, methooologies and skills needed to ~ the problems can help provide leooership in defining and designing the new careers. They will also be in the best pos1t1on to f111 those careers. Put more negatively, those students who are content merely to acquire the skills for a particular career as those skms are now defined, risk finding their training to be obsolete after only a few years on the job -- if not before. In personal terms this can mean that one's fate is host8J8 to larger developments over which the individual has little control. The more one understands the Jar113r context within which his or her career is evolving, the more he or she can anticipate the changes needed to keep up and even to give direction or leooership to the institutions involved. Far from a sound, wen balanced Uberal arts education being obsolete in the present rapidly changing world of careers, such an education is absolutely vital to the individual to make the most intelligent contribution to a chosen career as well as to protect him or herself from the inevitable and dramatic changes affecting every sector of our society. Students with a Wilkes degree should be among those in a position to provide intell1gent l8003rship as we <Otress these changes. This liberal leerning also involves acquiring the most up to date techniques of ~iring information. The library and the computer should be well understood as resource and tool for every student groouating fn whatever field. Information management is not only a major new industry, it is a crucial perspective for almost every organized human endeavor. At the same time, the essential attributes of an ooucated individual remain the cap~ity to read carefully and critically, to write clearly and correctly, and to express ideas effectively orally as well as in writing. With these attributes well developed, the Wilkes groouate should have maximum ~ to the wor Id of work - - as well os the world of the most worthwhile pleasures. One personal g>al you might establish is to be prepared to keep up with your own ch11dren and their world in the 21st century. Even more than for us tcmy, they wm be Jiving in an interdependent world.

The viability of our own melting pot of peoples in America depends upon mutual understanding and the ability to communicate with ~ other as does our relationships with peoples in every part of the world. We will all be working within the context of limited resources and shared problems and opportunites. You need to be rEm{ for this world and to help your children to be prepared. In the area of careers, the greatest opportunit1es may involve global ~tivities. Alrmty the competition with labor and products from other countries deeply affects our American economy. Whatever your major, you need to be taking courses that help you analyze brooo world developments that are shaping your 1ives. What does this require of tmers? We must demand the best of our students. I have just returned from C8lifornia where I met several Wilkes alumni. When I asked about the quality of their education at Wilkes, there were two themes I heard repeatedly. One , that the education hoo been demanding and thorough and that they !loo learned to think and to write. A distinguished Law School Dean recalled how the critical comments and the Don his first composition at Wilkes started him on the rooo to serious writing. Second, they claimed that they found themselves fully competitive in their professions with groouates form the top colleges and universities in the country. We on the f~ulty must continue to provide that quality of education.. Because of the wide variations in preparation among students from different schools, and the heavy dependence of many younger people for their effective learning on television and other· non-print sources, we must provide opportunities throughout the curriculum for critical reooing and analytical writing. E~ student leaving Wilkes as a groouate should be able to write a clear, grammatical, vfl:J)rous prose. In tnttuon to command of the essential information and techniques in the major field, the students should know how to apply this knowl80J8 and these techniques fn real situations. Problem identification and problem solving should be among the intellectual tools our graduates have ~ired. With such marks of an educated man or woman, Wilkes groouates should be able to move from field to field with fntell1gence, having the ab111ty and the inclination to continue learning throughout their Jives. As their t~rs. we contribute to these qualities in our stuCEnts not only through the precise subject matter we introduce them to - - but also through our own versatility and demonstrated expanding interests. Given the predict~ future demand for t~hers, I hope that by the Wf/t/ we inspire learning we shall increase the number of our students who once again w111 seriously consider teaching as one of the highest callings. Finally, there are two dimensions of the experience at Wilkes that I encour8J8 ~h student to consfiEr. First, above and beyond your ~ l e .work I urge you to participate in extr~urricular ~tivities, whether In athletics or theater, community service or debate, journalism or ·music. Developing your talents and interests In several areas should be part of your agenda as you work to be interesting to youself and to others for a lifetime. Such qualities and quality C9fl}e from working with others, both gMng and receiving, fn the process learning how to make things happen. The more interesting you moke t;,e Wilkes community, the more you will value this , place. You contribute to your own growth as well as to the supportiveness of the college environment by attending concerts, athletic events, debates, exhibits, plays and, yes, even parties. Second, the way ~h of you treats this environment affects its quality. Caring for the buildings we live fn, Including these lovely old buildings which emboof the architectual heritage of this city, is both an opportunity and a trust. Contributing to their maintenance and appearance as well as to the cleanliness of our grounds both enhances the char~ter of our campus and our own sense of shared responsibflity. We are teaching our four-year-old daughter Lydia to pick .up cans and bottles thrown carelessy about to increase her respect for our public space. I urge you to take the same care. You are learning Wf!i/S here to care for your own future families and communities, which includes stimulating others to share in that effort. I hope you explore this beautiful area. If you are from outside Northeast Pennsylvania, get out and hike in the mountains and this winter !J> skiing. If you are natives of this region. take oovantaae of field trips to New York and Ph118:lelphia to visit museums and attend concerts and plf/t/S and learn about the world beyond these protective mountains. In all these ~tivities, be open to sharing and learning from others. The friendships you make here, with fellow and sister students and with members of the faculty and staff can be among the most important and rewarding of your life. We are beginning this fall a serious College..-wide effort to define the appropriate mission for Wilkes College as ft enters a second half century of service to this area. By the time of my formal installation as the fourth president of Wilkes College next April 14, I fntend my speech that day to be the official statement of mission. I lnvl te you to be part of these crucial discussions. E~h of us contributes to the Wf/t/ this community works. We all should take interest in the charting of the future course of this fine college to preserve the best of fts trooitfons and prepare for the dramatic future awaiting our students and their children. Welcome to a new era for Wilkes. �PAGE TEN s p 0 R T s 1:· :· :· :C:: 0 ~mDlJ:.;,[Yllllr;~ : : 0:: llr : : ·0: : : : : · : : D: : : · : : : · C: :=: · :· :· :· :· ·1 : ... . . . . . : : : : : : : : Y-- : :~ ~:: :: : : : : : •. .:. .:...:.·:~........ . . . .. . . . . . . .:. . . . . . . . .=======-: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .:. . . . . . . ::=:, .. .. .. ..

Athletic squcK:ls help to '1't the college recognized just as acaremlcs oo. If Wilkes were to cut its athletic pr()Jrams this . campus would suffer greatly. Athletic events serve as social events as well as displays of college spirit. Just this past weekend the field hockey squoo played host to both Albright and· Mfllersvflle. The day that the largest crowd was pr~nt ( mainly parents and faculty) the team won. I'm not saying the win was due to the crowd, but sideline support can certainly pick up and encour~ a team. After the hockey game I ventured over to watch some of the football game. Admittedly, I only stayed for the first quarter, but I was still there. It iren't matter if you can't stay for the Athletic participation at Wilkes College has increased as a whole and that is great to see. This increase in participation should be counteracted with an increase in spectator participation. This past weekend I was in attendance at three athletic events and was horrified by the lid: of student support. Quite a few people on this campus, myself included, have said at one time or another that the football team Is a bunch of losers. Well It may be true that In the past the football team has hoo less than fantastic seasons, but I see no reason why the team members shouldn't be supported by their fellow students. The same holds true for the soccer team, the field hockey team, the. volleyball team, and the cross country squoo.

George Hockenbury, in an awesome display of running, easily defeated the Harriers of Lycoming College. Coach Bill Kavashay was pleased with Hockenbury·s performance, in aojition to the performances brqught in by the rest of the Wilkes team.

Water Supply Affects.Population by Eric S. Gundry news editor Photo by Rebecca R. Dymond Dr. Micheal Case and Dr. Brian Redmond in the Will<es College water quality testi ng lab. -E and ES Department Expands to PrOtect Community 0)" Reboooo R Dymond staff writer The Wilkes College Earth and Environmental Science Department is plann ing to expand its scope of activities beyond academics, According to Dr. · Redmond , associate chairman of the department, community services wi 11 be increased with the addition of lab equipment to the water quality lab. The new apparatus, intended for a m1crobiological laboratory , will r equ ire a separate area from the existing laboratory , wh ich is devoted to inorganic parameters, said Dr. Redmond. Redmond explained that a greater concern has been placed on water quality for human consumption since the outbreaks of filar.di.a Jamb)ia in northeastern Pennsylvania. The deaths attributed to the giard1a cyst created such signi ficant impact that it prom pted Wi lkes Col lege to provide as much information about waterbor ne diseases as possible. "If Wilkes College was in the position on Dec. 26 that is proposed for th Is new lab. we could have provided · accurate analysis of water samples in a timely fashion and provided information to DER much more r apidly,"said Dr. Case,associate professor of earth and env ironmental sciences. Dr . case explained that actions of the Department of Environmental Resources ( DER) wer e hindered by time wasted in the constant monitoring of water provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection ~ncy ( EPA). According to case. the oo:iitions to the lob, consisting mainly of micro-centrifuges used in the preparation of samples, and microscopes, are estimated at $50,000 . This initial cost , to be funded by fereral and state grants, will provide a self-supporting lab. The prelim inary annual oper ating bu()'Jet expects a $60 ,000 - a- year cost for on(J)lng operations. Th1s w111 be supported by annual grants and fees from contracted services Dr . Case , who will direct the proposed independent microbiological water quality lab, explains that the grants prov ide dedicated space and equipment to oo the job efficently but it is the faculty of Wilkes College that are willing to commit their talents as trained scientists. Dr. Redmond stated that not ·only would the microbiological water quality lab prov ide adequate / survei lance of the giardia problem ,'but it would also aid in the monitoring of other related foreign water See water pg.9 See related article this page The outbreak of Giardiasis ls rem1nfscent of the epidemic of typhoid fever that ripped through the Wilkes-Barre area fn 1889. The Typhoid epidemic began after a period of heavy r ain and over 650 people contracted the disease. Of these, over 50 died. Last year only eight of Pennsylvania's 12 million residents became ill, and none of them have d1ed. Of the eight that contracted the disease, seven are r eported to have aquired the disease outside of the United States of America. Both Giardiasis and Typhoid are water-born diseases, and can be traced to mountain r eser vo1rs fed by polluted feeder streams. These streams pick up the bacteria after heavy rains. The number of typhoid victims has decreased drast1cally since that time. with the oovent of chlorinated water supplies. This along with sewer control has helped to control the Typhoid bacteria as well as other health hazar ds. Chlorine has been used in water supplies since the early 1920's. The symptoms of the disease include heooaches, anorexia, and fever. The treatment is medication and lots of r est. Theatre Reply In The Works by Er ic S. Gundry news editor A counter proposal for the operat ion of the Dorothy Dicl< son Darte Center for the Performing Arts has been constructed by members of the Will<es College Theatre Department. The proposal was written by Dr. Micheal O'Neill , Director of the Theatre , in consultation with Bruce Pha1r, Technical Coordinator of the CPA, and Dr. Thomas Kasl<a, Chairman of the Language and L1terature Department. O'Neill describes the cxx:ument as a "compromise incorporati ng some of the ideas of the Dean of Development, R!chard Char Jes... Although the cxx:ument has not yet r ecieved a formal answer . O'Ne111 sa1d, '.'I t is my impression that the oocument which we proposed has been r ej ected." O'Neill described the changes the counter proposal hoped to accomplish as, "including an increase in the respons1b111t1es of Bruce Phair , in order to put on paper the worl< which he alr~ in the Theatre. This would also give him a little more Sfly in the ooes �PAGET\tlO 1£i11JID®l1Ji\1Jj Th~ separation of the Communications Department from the Department of Language and Literature is long overdue. The growth in number of communicat ions majors provides ample reason for reconsideration of the present situation. As the proposed department split nears real1ty, a change in the course requirements for a communications major should also be considered. People opposed to a change believe It would "bastardize" the liberal arts by selling-out to the current trend toward the technical fields. However, there are also people, mostly students, who see no need for the current engl ish requirements for a major in communications. Both views represent polarized views, most likely formulated out of fear. Those opposed to a change in the status quo are afraid of the relegation of the liberal arts to a trivial level. Some students in favor of a curriculum change dread the upper-level english courses and enter them with a defeatist attitude. Perhaps a more moderate approach can bring about the best communications curriculum. Undoubtedly, a sound proposal can be formulated to satisfy both faculty and students. Whether a communications student realizes it or not, liberal arts courses are a crucial element in his or her education. This holds true of any student of any major. Professionals in the communicat ions industry will l ist the abilities to think, read, and write well as the most important ingredients for a successful career. , Liberal ar ts courses serve to nur ture a student's ablility to read, write, and th ink. Because the present commun ications curriculum is laden with engl ish requirements, we feel that a restructuring should be considered. The following proposal would, we believe, satisfy all parties and still provide a strong curriculum: Course(s) Total credits required to graduate with a major in Communications: USPS 832-080 Third Floor Student Center Wilkes-Barre, PA Wilkes College Student Newspaper Permit No. 355 P.ublished weekly during the fall and spring semesters excepting scheduled breaks and vacation periods.

(CPS)-- A college education continues to be a big help in getting a job, according to a newly-released report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS). As of March, 1984, the unemployment rate among co I lege graduates averaged 2. 7 percent , compared to 7.2 percent for high school graduates and 11 .6 percent for workers with an eighth _2rade education or less, tf,e report shows. The unemployment rate for college grads th is year, moreover, r epresents a significant drop from the 3.5 percent in 1983. and from the 3.0 percent in 1982 , notes BLS spokesman Rick Dedens. Black female graduates show an even higher employment rate, according to the stucty. which shows that 88 percent of all black women grads hold jobs. Among white female grads , 77 percent are now employed. And among male graduates, both wh ite and black , 95 percent are active in the labor force. Since "we oon't really ask people their motivations or rea50ns for being employed, " the BLS's Dedens says, the report ooesn·t explain the increases in labor force part1c1patlon among women and blacks. College graduates make up a majority of the wor kers in most managerial and professional fields, as well as the bulk of workers in technical and sales occupations. Among professional occupations - - health and medical services , !aw, teaching, engineering, math, and computer services - - college graduates comprise 78 percent of the work force, the report reveals. In ao:lition, college graduates make up 43.S percent at all executive, administrative, and managerial jobs, 36 percent of sales positions, and 33 percent of all technical occupations. . For the third consecutive year, the number of college graduates in the labor force rose by more than a million, the report also shows, 600,000 of whom were women. Women graduates. in fact, now comprise 38 percent of all workers with four or more years of college , compared to 32 percent in 1970 Over the same perioo, the report notes, the number of women graduates who work-rose from 61 percent to 78 percent.

AVA/l.4Bl£ NOIYI N6Uom,1 Compony looking for Distributors or Deolers to hondle Energy Monogement Systems, High Income potentiol, smoll inventory ~@~~ BOSTON, MA ( CPS) - - By the time tr,e babies born this year get to college, they may have to pay $45,000 to $180,000 for their degrees and face a huge post-graduate debt, according to a recent accounting firm study. "We've witnessed an increase of more than 330 percent in tuition and required fees over the past 1S years in the public sector alone ," says Clar k Bernard , cr,ai rrnan of higher education planning for Coopers and Lybrand , which conducted the coliege costs study for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities ( AASCU) If such rapid tuition increases continue through the turn of the century , as many financial experts expect, "families who r,ave a child triis year will probab ly have to spend $45,000 for a public college education in 18 years, " Bernard says. The cost of sending a child to a private college, moreover, will run from $140,000 to $180,000, the study predicts. Currently, the cost of attending a public college averages $i5,000, Bernard says, while four years at a private institution runs about $37,000 A recent University of Wisconsin study, Ostar says , shows that today's average college student alreacty has a debt of $8200 upon graduation. Compounding high tuition rates is the federal student aid programs· shift from giving students money thr.ough grants to greater dependence on loan programs. Two decades ago, Ostar recounts, about 70 percent of all federal student aid was in the form of grants and other awards. Today, 70 percent of all aid money ism loans which students must repay after graduating. If tuition rates continue to soar and the balance between grants and loans remains lopsided, he warns, "a student's ability to purchase consumer goods , a car, clothes -- just the things it takes to get started in life -- will be seriously impaired." And future college students focing such momentous debts "may wel 1 be influenced in what kind of career they go into based on how well it will help them repay their loans, rather than choosing the field they really want to~ into." The teaching field, he notes, could be "drastically" affected by big education debts, as more and more graduates are forced to work in the private sector, where salaries are significantly higher.

Paustian was hired and beg6n work on September 10. He now oversees personnel management, poliey development, bUQJrting, long-range planning, and grant funds. "We're always in the process of evaluating all library services and operations," he explained. "One of the things we're ooing now is implementing the automated library system," Paustian explained. According to the new director, this system will connect terminals in the library to a Hewlett Pockar'd computer in the Stark Learning Center. "so that students, focu lty, and staff can look at the library's biblicq-aphical records, and also at materials ·external to the library." Paustian noted that eventually, "If you have a microcomputer, you could l'X:CeSS the library's computer and find out what books we have that you'd be interested in."· · Although new to Wilkes CollefJ', Paustian is familiar both with this computer-oriented system and with libraries. "I attended a workshop last winter on the automated library system, 'aoo the University of Missouri at Kansas City ( where he was assistant library director) already had its · own automated library system ," he explained, ao:iing, ''I've worked in libraries for years off and on." In crl:lition to his library experience, Paustian brought to Wilkes a wealth of accmmic knowleo;J8. After rece1ving an undergraduate degree from the STUDVfN6 . .. liff f'tHAI.. f<Ot,1T1£R ... University of Missouri in foreign language with minors in art history and philosophy, the new director earned graduate ~rees from that university and from the University of Kansas in library and -informational sciences and linguistics, respectively. Paustian has also taught English as a foreign l6fl9Uage, studied at the University of Toronto in canada, and taken courses in aesthetics and philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in West Oermany. Explaining his reasons for coming to Wilkes, Paustian observed, "I think Wilkes College provioos excellent learning opportunities for students here. It's important not to confuse size with (JJSlity; this is a very prcq-essive institution in many ways." · He continued, "The president was certainly a foctor in my coming here. · He's very supportive of the library; the library enjoys a lot of support from the administration.

I t ~ fact, the record is opt have that raw , energetic well-proouced and on the who le, rock sound but lnstlB! has a a fairly !Jxx1 record. But it lacks "new wavish" sound. the sound that Elvis fans have I guess Elvis is changing (J)tten used to - - the sound that with the times, but I hope for sets Elvis apart from all the his sake that his fans are (J)ing other bands around today. through the same changes. Songs like "Room With a Number" and "Inch By Inch" are well written, but because of the electronic drums and over-dubbed synthesizers, they really oon't &t,/ too much about the musicians as far as talent (J)es. Today it seems that all a musician hos to oo is push a button and out of the amplifiers blasts a sound that is almost impossible to proouce without tooay's technolCWJY. Many audlophfles may lfke this type of sound, but it takes the human feeling out of the music. The simplicity in Elvis' music has been replaced by a lot of electronic nothino. and for this reason the album is not easily understcxxt However, there are some very cool tunes in this work. "The Only Flame in Town" is a g:xict tune with a danceable beat behind it. It's a song that describes one of Elvis' lovers who feels that she is In the palm of his hand. Elvis tells us that ,,_.,, ~Joseph Mmnourian staff writer Summertime in the music Industry fs often filled wfth surprises and disappointments. This past summer lived up to that trooit1on In a bland way. The "blandness" comes from the music industry itself and its penny-pinching ways, by insisting that year-old albums such as She's So unusual by Cyndi Lauper, and SQoc1s by Huey Lewis and the News, can still generate hits. Obviously, it's cheaper to proouce one album with four or five hits than it is to proouce five albums with one hit. This is so with albums that are on the charts for a year to eighteen months. The benefit from this new strateg)' is that we can buy albums with four or five hits ( after all, $8.39 is a lot of money for a "one-song album"). The side effects that we have to suffer are a high burnout foctor and suppressed creativity on the part of the musicians. When an album is busy making big bucks on the charts, it preempts scheduled releases. r~~ For example, Boston's first album broke all sales records for its time, much to the suprise of Epic Records. Epic ordered the band bock Into the studfo only two months after the first album release, yet waited over three years to release the second album. Epic learned that a premature release of the second album , Don't Look Brek, would hurt the sale of the first album. That move killed the band. Don't Look Brek sounded too much like the first album. Meanwhile, CBS has announced a price hike for five "superstar" new releases. They include Billy Joel , Paul McCartney, Barbara Streisand, Pat Benatar ( Chrysalis) and .. Culture Club (Virgin), and will sell at a mere $9.98 suooested retail price. CBS blames this on the "steooily rising cost of manufacturing and marketing of records and tapes" ( how many times have we heard that?). Five selections will be released on chromium dioxide tape, a higher grade that will be useless if you oon't have a deck ooaptab le to Cr02 tape. St i II , - for $9.98 , it better sound like Boy ~rge is tumbling for me In my living room ( why oo I have ooubts? ). Note: the reader should keep in mind that this and future articles are intended to preview new material and report on new trends in the business. It is not intended to be a critical review on artistic output. Music is, after all, what music ooes for the listener. David Bowie: Tonigbl **** Just about every Bowie fan expected a different direction from this album. It seems Bowie is always aheoo of the music scene. Just listen to "China Girl" . or "Modern Love," from Let's Dance, and try to remember how different it sounded eight months 8(J), and then compare it to tcxtay's top ten. Even Bruce Springsteen is using drum mochfnes now. 'let's Dance" fits right in with "She Bop", "Cover Me", and "Let's Go Crazy". Far be it from Bowie to be trendy. Tonight has a "blusler ... more relaxed sound ; the drum machine was replaced by a three- piece percussion section, although the snare drum rides a little fast. (One of Bowie's secrets is not to play with the same musician twice.) Stevie Ray Vaughan, rated guitar player of the year by Guitar Player: magazine was this isn't true at all; as a matter of fact, he ls very much in love with her when he is with her , but when he's on the road away from her, he feels that she's not "The Only Flame in Town." This song is the type of tune that many of us in college can relate to. These are the songs that make the album, but the others are lacking something that listeners are used to hearing from Elvis. If you haven't heard the album, maybe you should. Then you may understand and feel that something is locking in the music. Another fine tune , both lyrical ly and musically , is a song entitled "Home Truth." It's a song that describes pain. How many times have you kissed your boyfriend or girlfriend only to feel that something has changed? It's an empty kiss, a kiss without feeling, which leads you to think that the kiss is not the only empty thing - - so is the relationship. This is the feeling Elvis experiences and wants to convey to his audience. Other gooo tunes are "Peoce In Our Time," a sentiment which we al I can hope for, and "I Wanna Be Loved," which is packed with emotion. replaced by carlos Alomar. You miaht remember Alomar from Robert Plant's Burning Down One Sioo. Keep an eye out Rock 107 pliJY this one to ooath , sandwiched between songs by Ratt and Krokus. Also, the twelve inch-single of "Blue Jean" is pressed on limited edition blue vinyl for those of you who are into Jim ited edition presses. U2:The Unfilcoettable wm £.ice **** I Different bands usually have their own wey of writing, most of which is oone on the rmt This is why bands that churn out three albums in four years usually write a lot of boo music. Loverboy, for example, (I know I'm (J)ing to draw flock) u~ the same hook in every single they release. That's why "Hot Girls in Love" sounds like "Working for the Weekend" which in turn sounds like "Queen of the Broken Hearts" which sounds 1ik.e "Nothing's (J)nna Stop You Now." · It's ironic that poor sales of "Nothing·s Gonna Stop You Now" halted the scheduled release of their new album. U2, on the other hand, lays the drum and bass tracK while Bono ( the lead singer) walks through war-torn Belfast. Upon entry to the studio, Bono begins to sing whatever comes to mind. Then the music is scraped and the drum, bass, and guitar parts are laid around the vocals. Inspired by the revenge and senseless violence of a war that has outlived half a oozen generations of soldiers, U2 is the soul music of the 80's. B.B. King once said "you've (J)t to pay the dues before you play the blues." "The unforgattable Fire" is provocative as it mourns, cries, and bleeds.

Eyerman _ sports editor Would you leave the sun, the b~h. the bikinis, and the atmosphere of Florid6 to go to college in the cold and damp of northeast Pennsylvania? Well, that's exactly what Carl Sosnowski did. Carl is big, blonde and a member of the 1984 ..Wilkes football squad. Carl's history at Wilkes College is · one_ of excitement and pain. Carl first came to Wilkes in 1979 as a business major from Coral Springs, Florida. He chose Wilkes College over offers from Tenessee Tech, the University of Florida, and Auburn . "I picked Wilkes because I knew the~~. Rollie Schmidt, and the program , and because I hoo relatives in this area," said Sosnowski. . When Carl was eleven years old, he was the manager for the Colonels football squoo and ·1earnoo everything there was to know about Wilkes football. Carl's family moved to Florida from Northeastern Pennsylvania while he was in high school. After arriving in Florida, he played two years of high school football but didn't really want to pursue his education after graduation, so he took a year off to work. After a year at a Florida community college, Carl packed up and hemi north. During his sophomore year an injury to his left knee in the Wilkes-FDU gt.1me left him hospitalized and facing surgery. car l underwent the surgery and found himself in a full leg cast. Sosnowski withdrew from the semester and headed ba::k to Florida. Car I received a letter from the Philadelphia Eagles in February of the year -he was hurt, saying they were watching him and that he should keep up his grades and they would see him next season. There was no next season for Car I , but he kept the letter for the future. During Sosnowskl's two-year absence from Wilkes, he -was a Coral Springs pol ire offleer. car I groouated from the police ~ Y and O:!Cided that -being a police officer was fine for the time. After two years of that, he resigned and O:!Cided to give Wilkes football a try again. Carl is presently a very strong force on the Wilkes squad. He is running strong, playing hard, and having no problems with his knee.

XXXVIII No. 5 October 9, 1984 Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Reported .Cases of Rabies Rises at Alarming Rate by Mark Radabaugh photography editor Reported cases of rab1es 1n Pennsylvania have jumped from a I 0-year average of 38 to this year's 245 cases acc.ording to State Epidemiologist Bernard Healey. "Rabies moved in from Maryland" said Healey, who is also a part time Wilkes Professor. "We feel that it's a migration of rabid wild animals from the ,· south." The greatest concentration of rabid animals is in the south and central portions of the state but it is rapidly spreading into this area. Slnce there ls no known method to stop the spread of rabies among wild animals Mr. Healey stated "We just have to sit back and hope that everybody listens to our advice [concerning the treatment of rabies) ." Rabies is carried in the saliva and is transmitted when an infected animal bites another Rabies affects the brain causing radical changes in the animal's behav ior. Normally passive animals often become vicious and may attack larger animals 1nclud1ng people. Anyone bitten by an animal should immediatly clean the wound with large amounts of soap and water and contact a doctor as soon as possible. If practfCl'.ll, the animal should be confined so that a determlnBtion may be ·made as to whether the an1mal 1s rabld. Symptoms of the virus usually occur within two to eight weeks and lnclude headache, nausea, and, in the later stages, hydrophobia (fear of water) A va,--cine is available for rabies but it must be g1ven before the onset of any symptoms. Once the disease has passed into the brain it is almost always fatal. There 1s no known cure, and unfortunately there is little hope for one in the near future. Pets are very susceptible to 1nfect1on and pet owners are urged to keep their pets' booster shots for rabies current. According to area vetrenarian Dr. Paul Kutish, rabies booster shots are needed yearly for most pets. Anyone w1sii1ng further 1nformat1on should contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health at 800-692- 7254. i='hoto t>v Eric S.

Both men, at times, appeared deserving of a four-year For the first time in the l 984 campaign, 1"1ondale presented himself well while Reagan, previously considered a "shoo-in," occasionally found himself in a hole. The President was forced to play the unfamiliar role of underdog Whether this is a sign of growing Mondale strength or a rare moment of Reagan weakness remains to be seen. We, as voters, are forced to choose between a champion of ·'big business" who residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. At other times the reduced inflation and a man who claims he can reduce the deficit candidates were very vulnerable. and increase government spending on welfare and other related Mondale's strategy centered on the deficit problem, and it certainly is a problem. Unfortunately, too many current voters do programs (including aid for college students).

Some of the answers included,"We should have a choice ," "Suicide is a sin," "I'd r ather decloo to d1e In my own home then have Reagan decide where ," and other var ied r eoctions. Randa fahmy- I feel that if and when a nuclear attack occurs noone knows the consequences or the outcome of what will happen . Why invite people to commit suicide or prematurely die If it is not necessary. I feel that giving students a choice Is unnecessary and absurd. with my friends then tak"e the coward§ way out. I don't believe in suicide as an escape anyway . Pat Flynn- Yes, it's up to the Individual to decide . ft should be available for students who want to make that choice .

James Bohning, chairman of the Chemistry Department and auther of a paper on the 1889 epidemic, believes, "There are lessons to be learned from what happened some years ago." Bohning presented a paper entitled, "Chemistry in the Coal Fields. The Wilkes-Barre Typhoid Epidemic of 1889," August 30 at the 188th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia. This paper, which Bohning hopes to publish, explains the causes and the resulting controversy of the 1889 ep idemic, which stemmed from the laurel Run Reservoir .

If it goes into oouble overtime I take that as a sign from heaven not to oo work that night. After three years of college you become a master at justifying not stu(fying. Cleaning your room 1s a !JXX1 excuse, as is calling .your parents. Although college students are experts at creating excuses, we are also masters at working under pressure. When work has to be done, like having a ten-page paper due in five minutes, it's as !JXX1 as written, typed and proofrea:l ( usually accompanied by a gr~ that mirrors the amount of time spent working on it). Being a successful college student by ooing the least work possible is an art that not everyone can master. Some people actually oo spend hours upon hours studying, and man , do I envy them . At least they know what to oo with their time. 1 Yrit• fer O.tilils •n• SELLING to give their tests?

If procrastination were a federal offense, the nation's prisons would be filled with college students. How many times have you sat oown to stu(fy and said to yourself "this time I'm really going to oo it?" If you're anything like me, you've oone it thousands of times. But as you probaly know, no sooner oo you crack the book than a friend you haven't seen in five minutes is at the ooor looking for someone to shoot the breeze with. There · goes your stu(fying time.

Each man has a different approach on Mw to bring the Soviets to the bargaining table. Mondale wants to limit armaments through summit meetings and negotiations.

"Evil" people do not want, nor do they seek peace -- this does not accurately characterize the Russian people The Naz !s of WWII were evi I people; the Russ ians are not quite comparab le. If Mondale really believes what he has said, the American people can have no real hope for an everlast ing peace witr1 Mondale in the White House.

Comments on Hudock, Kanjorski , To the Editor: Repub 1ican congressiona 1 'candidate Robert Hudock and Democratic candidate Paul Kanjorski are looking for the same job, but it is evident they eoch have very different ireas about how to get votes and win an election. Robert Hudocl::. has chosen a strategy , which involves accusing his opponent, Paul Kanj orsk i, of numerous wrong ooings without giving any consideration to the obvious responsibility of furnishing proof. In fact, during a press conference HuciJck cal led Kanjorski "a crook from Nanticoke," and has failed to explain or substantiate the charge. This campaign strategy has resulted in both area newspapers. the Times Leader and the Citizen's Voice criticizing Mr. Huci:Jck's comment as being "indiscreet" and "a cheap shot" and this approach ooes not appear to be gettting Hudock any votes. Paul Kanjorski has decided his best chance of winning the November 6th election is to inform the public of his past deeds and accomplishments whic~ have benefited local communities and Luzerne County. Mr. Kanjorski has provided detailed accounting for all these past deeds , but Mr:_ . Hudock still insists there is some wrong ooing concerning them . One can only wonder why Mr . Hudock will not tell the public what the alleged crime is. Unless tie can Kanjorski will get the votes and win the election.

The following is an excerpt from the program: "On a personal level he is kind and unassuming. Unostentatious in the extreme, he dr ives a beloved 196 Studebaker Hawk. His witty and philosophical turn of mind leaves for the world a rich collection of pithy quotations such as: 'The ar t of education cons1sts of helping peop le to both learn to contemplate and calculate -- not one at the expense of the other."' Associates on the campus know better than to say that Leh igh "trains" engineers. Upon hearing a r emar k such as that, Dean Karakash w111 be certain to explain that Lehigh ooes nothing of the sort. This univer sity , he asserts , "Educates men and women through engineer ing. " This is a typical Karakash view that results from his search ing , restless mind -- a remarkable jmlnd that challenges the conventional wisoom. Women continued from page one in professions," stated Leib, adding that this would be "a practical course. " If this interdisciplinary course is successful, according to Leib , Women's Studies could be expanded into a full minor concentration available to all students. Another inter disciplinary topics course , "An Introduction to Religious Studies," is also planned. Leib , who would coordinate that course , observed that the course was suooested because, "Wi lkes once had students interested in preparing for the ministry who have since more support and better advising about car eers, marraige, and specifically about women's problems that didn't seem to be touched on." Lei b commented, "We were also told that sever al very fi ne women students left Wilkes to (}'.) to schools where there was a women's studies program." "It seemed that there are a number of undergraduates who would like to see a full women's studies program ," noted lei b, acxting, "On the other hand, there was a certain amount of skepticism on the part of the · administration and faculty members to maintain support." "The new president .( Dr. Christopher Breiseth) is very interested in interdisciplinary programs and in liberal arts programs that have a clear use neglected." Faculty been members who would participate if the course were offered are Ors. John Natzke, Robert Stetten, John Simmons, Thomas Kaska, and Mr. James Berg. BART IKOWSKV JEWELERS.

Four Wilkes College students were called upon to comment on Sunday night's debate between President Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale, for the WNEP channel 16 news cameras. Dr. David Leoch was first contacted in order to assemble interested students from various majors for the news spot. Tim Wi II iams. Randa Fahmy . Ray Hassey , and Cress Shallers were chosen to meet in the Annette Evans Alumni House to view the debate and speak with WNEP reporter Dan Fiorucci. After the debate. the students were asked to express their opinions on the topics discussed and on what they felt was most important. The students felt that the debate held strong points from both sides while each observed weaknesses in certain areas. Senior history major, Tim Williams described the event as experience that al students should be lucky enough to be a part "an of." The two-minute news tape was aired later in the evening following a football game that went into overtime, and twice again the following day.

Monsen feature editor to people when they've tossed a few back , because they usually are too out of it to put up a front. You can usually get a person to spill their true feelings when they're fl oating above you. The other extreme of these party monsters are the people that drink a few and the alcohol goes stroight to thei r muscles. You· JI see some of the most idiotic fights over such important things as bump ing into somebody', "hey, that's my gir !friend you're talking to, " and "don't look at me I ike that , buddy !" It always cracks me up when this happens. To see two people who are friends during the week get into a shoving match over something that, to them, wou ld be enough cause to call the White House and tell Ronnie to push the button, is j ust too much. I guess partying li ke maniacs really turns otherwise nice people into actual maniacs. It's that dr~ macho thing, I guess, that guys fight over when they're at a party. I think guys believe that if they get into a fight, the women wil l flock to them. I don't know too many girls that want to hang out smali fee , partici pate in a ~ excuse to drink called "Happy Hour ." I could never figure out why they call it "Happy Hour," because although you usually get very happy , it lasts for more than an hour. Maybe they shou Id call it "Happy Hours" or "Stay Away From Here Because You're Bound To Get Happy and Make a Complete Fool Of Yoursel f." These "Happy Hour " events are a dangerous thing. You pay a r easonable pr ice and drink whatever and however much you want · or don't wont. ( This usually results in a pretty fine headache come morning.) The most dangerous th ing about "Happy Hour" is not the drinks themselves , but how you drink them and with whom you drink. You wal k into the place and you get a drink and bang, it's gone. You get another one and you say "th is is great , I don't have to pay for these so I might as well take advantage of it." (Alcohol has a way of going to your memory and maki ng you forget that you paid to get in.) So you usually end up dri nki ng·in rap id succession to the point that even water seems to give you a buzz. One of the main ingr edients in consuming too much for your own good is the fr iends you go with. "Happy Hour " sets off a spark in a lot of my fr iends, myself included, that you wouldn't believe.

For the past fourteen years , Sophia, known as Sophie, has been employed by the Wilkes College Dining Hall. "Meeting and getting to know the new students is why I like working at the cafeteria," admits Sophie, acx:!ing , "I really enjoy the line of work." However , Sophia dres have one qualm about her duties at the cafeteria , "I like to do a neat j ob of preparing the food. you know. but I oon·t enjoy cutting the chocolate bavarian cream pie because the graham cracker crust 1s just too messy!" For those who assume Sophia just sits around all day chatting with students, you're wrong. Sophia is quite the busy woman on campus. Some of her duties include "cleani ng up the meal line , preparing the desserts so that they appear appealing, wiping the tabels and whipping up tomorrow 's jello," stated Sophia. There are, of course , days at the cafeteria when out-of-the-ordinary events occur . such as the "famous f cm fight of 1984." "I did not think that the food fight was funny at all," said Sophia, "I was just sitting there and all of a sua1en I saw food flying !l:ross the cafeteria - - to tell you the truth , I didn't know what was happening." In regard to the students at Wilkes, Sophia commented, "In general, the students at Wllkes College are a pretty nice group of kids, but there are some students that have no consideration whatsrever , they leave their tables dirty with empty glasses and bowls of focx:I." When asked how the students of Wilkes College tooay compare with Wilkes students of a decade ago, Sophia responded, "From my observation in the cafe , there really hasn't been any significant change.

While some experts predicted tough new campus drinking regulations nationwide would cause some students unease as they learned new ways to socialize, it appears that many ·students are flaunting the regula t ions open ly and at times even outwardly rebel I ing aga inst them. At North Carolina State Univers i ty, for --instance, state alcohol contro l-. agents recently busted 36 students for liquor violations dur ing the first • weekend in September, and arrested " 47 more violators the · following weekend.

Al 1)ng with a color picture of t r: e bust a nearby cornf ortably tanning at newspaper has beach , the Notre Dame student note warning received ransom a D C D ~(E(fill(;J that the Rockne sculpture won't be returned "ti 11 the students have their beer." Problerris and complications with alcohol · policies are also plaguing such schools as Fort Hays State University, Arizona State, St. Bonaventure, and New Mexico, to name just a few . "Alcohol-related problems are obviously taking up more time of campus law enforcement agencies these days, and alcohol abuse is a greater problem, or at least recognized more," says Dan Keller, director of Campus Crime Prevent ion Programs and chief of public safety at tne University of LOU iSV i 11 e, "We have two or three major things happening at the same time that are making the alcohol problem .greater, or at least more visible on a lot of campuses," he explains. F?r one thing, "students who may have been drinking legally off campus are now transferring their drinking habits to campus where new policies ma.ke drinking illegal." In addition, "many states are now raising their drinking ages to 21, creating displaced drinkers who have no place to .drink except on ,campus," he says. Finally, Keller notes, "alcohol abuse has replaced drug abuse as the number-one student ber,avior problem. , And all these probl~ms combined are really making alcohol _ an issue at many colleges and universities." The whole "get tough" attitude toward student drinking, some believe, is only making the matter worse at many schools. "Any _ time you trim back people's rights and opportunities, there will be some reactions," says Jonathan Burton, executive director of the National lnterfraternity Conference. "The whole movement might have been much more eff ect_ive if the campus alcohol education programs had been given more time to picl< up speed," he theorizes. "First comes education, then minds are changed, and then legislation . · can be enacted with everyone's fuil support." · And while the new campus alcohol crackdown is preoccupying pol ice, frustrating administrators, and angering students, it may not be having . any effect on what it was designed to prevent: alcohol-related accidents. �t'AUt ltN Volleyball rops 2 Out Of 3 At present, the Board of Trustees is undertaking a land US6Je survey of the land the college owns. It is hoped that the board and the survey can come up with a location to build an estimated $3.S million gym complex. Realistically looking at" this , a $3.5 million gym complex will be fantastic when it is completed, but the funding for the complex, will take a while, and so will the construction of the complex. Therefore , it is up to us to find places other than the gymnasium to workout and r elax. You as students of Wilkes College are quite fortunate in that you live in the city and are very close to a lot of athletic facilities. The Jewi~h Community Center(JCC) and the YMCA are in the college's back yard, so to speak. You can join the JCC as a college student for one semester or two no matter what your religion is. The JCC bases their college membership price on the amount of time we spend in this area. Also in our area are the 2 1st Century Health Spa, The Kingston Tennis and Raquetball Center , many kar ate clubs and a ballet school on Main Street. Also located on Main Street is Chaucko's Bowling Lanes. They are also open to co~ students. They don't make you join for the whole year , when they know you will only be here for seven or eight months. The center has a heated swimming pool, gumnasium, weight training equipment and bowling lanes available to its members. · The YMCA is also ava1labe to students. The YMCA offers a variety of courses such as aerob ics , exercises classes , yoga and non athlet ic classes for a smal I fee. The YMCA's sw imm ing pool, gymnasium and weight training equipment are also available to members. Beh ind the square on North Washi ngton Street is the Catholic Youth Center. The CYC is available on specific nights for pick up games and open play of many spor ts. We have two parks at our diposal also. Kirby Park is a great place to jog, to paddle boat, to play tennis. soccer, baseball, football, frisbee,etc. Dur1ng the winter months , Kirby Park can be great for sledding or trayi ng( a Wilkes Co liege favorite) and cross country skiing. Coal Street Park is the other park within walking distance. If you walk south on Northampton Street and turn left when you reach the Stat ion Resturant you can't miss it on your right hand side. This park has tennis courts. open fieds, baseball fields , and swimming, all availab le in the summer months. During the winter the park has a sem i - indoor ice skat ing ri nk. And finally , right here on cam pus we have a well l 2-equipped weight r oom in Weckesser Annex. A multi - million dollar comp lex will no ooubt ser ve a maj or1ty of our needs but until that time, check into these facilities. You can get some goo:l deals because you are a college student.

Cox. Command Sgt. Major in the Reserve Army, began his analytical lecture with a recounting of the periods of power held either by the democrats or the republicans. The Republicans have maintained a solid hold in the western continenta1 United States. Cox stated that only on three occasions did the democrats m~ to wtn a state in this region. These states were Texas twice, and Washington. Cox documented that Democrats are usua11y e1ected in Indiana, llllnois, and Iowa while the 1ast four e1ections in New Jersey ylelCEd Democrats. The District of Columbia, worth three electorial votes, repeated1y e1ects Democrats. · These references to Repub1ican contro1 i11ustrate Cox's statement that the tide is favorable in the running for the Republicans. Cox bel1eves that this trend will continue unless a disaster recurs. "With figures 11ke that any Republican could win - even Mondale." Cox said. According to Cox the increase in Democratic registration provides an illusionary figure, because in the presidental elections people usual1y oon't anow party affiliation to dictate their president1a1 c~ice. Cox exp 1ained that the news media, as well as many liberals, tend to express agitation that they associate with Reagan. He said those who consioor themselves liberals are busy writing articles about the mistreatment of the poor. He attributes the basis of increased undertones of Repub Hean favoritism in the black community to Mondale's white campaign. Cox established with numerous statistics derived from pol ls that Reagan is the best communicator, the best decision maker, and a dom lnant 1eader. "These are the things the people are voting for," Cox said. He thinks that some people, who don't even want Monda1e In the office will vote for him in the election as a protest vote against Reagan. He contends that most peop1e think they are better off tooay. "Even those who don't think the democrats ran out of ideas, want to stick with Reagan for four more years to find out what he can do." The dissertation was preceood by a discussion period which provided an opportunity for participants to discuss the lecture and related topics with Cox. Student Government -Discusses Vending Machine Issue . by Brian 1 Above- Homecoming K1ng Thomas MoQsell with escort Cathy Mccann. Below- Homecoming Queen Karen An<Jerson with · President Christopher N. Brefsetti. Photos by Mark Radabaugh W. C8hill The allocation and d1str1bution of the prof1ts from the campus vend1ng machines have become major issues over the past severa1 months. Unoor the old system, profits from the 5008 m~hines were sent to the finance office by the 5008 companies. Students from various clubs could then obtain neeCB1 funds upon request. Prof1ts from these machines have become quite substantial, and both the Student Affairs Committee and the Student Government Organization (S00) are striving to develop a better, more efficient system based on continuity and internal control. Members of soo have met several times to discuss possible alternatives to the existing system. While there have been many possible solutions discussed at these meetings, no system has been finalized. Ona solution disr.11ssro was the idea 01 equally distributing the profits from the various club machines. This would allow clubs with little or no income to increase their activity and to initiate projects which would otherwise not be possible. Another possibility of revenue distribution discussed was based on a point system. A club or organization would receive funds proportionate to club activity in hopes of getting the student bOOi more involved in positive group activity. One member of SOO suggested that all profits from the machines be distributed back into the student b!JOJet. This would allow the entire full-time stuoont bocty to share in the proms. There was also mention of allowing an accounting major to serve an 1nternsh1p by hand11ng the bookeeping of the funds under the supervision of an oovisor. .While the development of the new system is stil1 pending, al1 t 984 September and October profits wm be he1d in escrow at the finance office. �• PAGE . ... 4 • o O ...

Consider which candidate would provide the opportunity for anyone, regardless of income, to afford higher education. In a broader sense, consider which candidate would work to ensure a strong democracy. A true democracy provides individual freedom and equal opportunity for all people. Walter F. Mondale Is better qualified to guide America on these and other Issues. Mondale will not try to invade our personal lives with religious and anti-abortion legislature. Mondale, a minister's son, respects an individual's right to religious freedom, and therefore, opposes legislation which would infringe upon baste religious and civil freedoms. More accurately, Mondale would not concern himself with trivial issues such as school prayer when money for schools is being diverted to bulld bombs. Ronald Reagan's "recovery· has not touched all of America. Inflation is down, true, but Reagan's promise to lower unemployment drastically has not been fulfilled. Most blue-collar workers have no more job security now than they did four years ago. In addition, many have taken pay cuts. Also, it ts doubtful whether today's college graduate has better job prospects than the graduate of four years ago. Reagan policies are also directly responsible for this . country's Auge deficit. When he tool< off ice four years ago, Reagan compared the national deficit to a 67-mile high stack of $1000 bills. According to the New York Ttmes, Reagan has Increased that stack by 40 miles. This past Sunday, the New York Ttmes, along with several other major newspapers, endorsed Walter Mondale. The Ttmes cited three main reasons for not endorsing Reagan: "First, because of the way he has paid for our recovery, and his popularity: with the pain of mi11ions of people thrown out of work in the last four years and with the hundreds of billions of oollars Government must borrow in the next four. Second , because much of the rest of his oomesttc prqam is repugnont. Mr. R86gml has punished the poor and retreated from civil rights. He has, laudably, continued the deregulation begun by Jimmy carter. But the same Pres1<Ent who vows to get Government off people's ~s has recklessly pushed its nose Into the most private realms of religion and family life. Finally, and most important, because Mr. R88g8rl's dip lorn~, mostly ineffective, has also been dangerous. Not only has he failed to stabfltze the nuclear arms ro, but he has propelled It to new heights and ~s any plausible strategy for regaining control." 1 - While the Beacon and the New York Times have nothing in common other than an Old English masthead, this editor has always shared these sentiments. This editorial reflects the opinions of the editor and not.necessarily those of the paper or the college. 1tJ)e 1e1<•1t VOL.XXXVII No. 7 Oct. 30, 1984 Editor-in-chief... .....................................

Chaired by senior , Judy Groshardt , the committee was formed os a result of an open meeting held in October. At this session, approximately 1s students met with Professors Bradford Kinney, Michael O'Neill, Norma Schulman, and KJaus Holm , and suooested curriculum changes, including what some communication majors see as a need for more technical, "hands-on" courses instead of currently-required English courses. The committee has met twice ; both sessions were sparsely attended, w1th five communication majors meeting to discuss the present program and to propose a revised curriculum . Suggested changes include the possibility of offering academ ic credit for participation in extracurricular activities such as the ~ . ArooicoJa, Manuscript, the debate team, WCLH-FM, and the television station. Math Skills Added as Graduation Requirement , Last spring, Wilkes College added a math competency graduation requirement. This r equirement app iies to all students ( fr eshman and transfer ) who enter the College from this semester on. Specifically , before they may graduate from Wilkes, these students must give evidence that they have attained a· minimal level of mathematical under stand1ng and computational proficiency. Ther e are three ways in whicn a student can exhib it his or her mathematics competency: l ) Earn a scor e of 450 or higher on the math SAT test, 2) earn a score of soi or higher on the Wilkes College mathematics placement exam ( given dur ing or ientation) , or 3) earn a passing grade in any Wil kes College mathemat ics course. There is some con fusion about the last option. Coinci dent with the 1nsti tu tlon of the new r equ 1rement , the l"lathemet ics and Computer Sc ience Department began offering a new course, Math 84. Math 84 . is a r emedi al mathematics course, designed to review topics and skills which are part of pr e- col lege· mathemat ics curr icula. For thi s reason , it car r ies no college cred it and wi ll riot fulfill any maJor or core requirement. It will, however, satisfy the math competency requirement. For students without adequate high school math preperation , or for those whose skill ls are rusty, Math 84 may be the best place to start. It will serve as a gocd review , and will fill in gaps where earlier math preperation was lack ing. It must be emphasized that this requirement can also be satisfied by completing any math course. For most students , Math 84 is not appropr iate. Those who have completed one or two col lege preparatory mathematics courses in high school (e.g., Alg. I and A1~ l I and Geometry), and for whom th is knowledge is fair ly recent and fresh , will not profit fr om a remedial course. They shoutc take t"1ath i o1 or Math 150 or Calculus ( possibly preceded by Math 100 ). rn conclusion, Matr, 81 is des igned for a specific audience. !t is imper tant that .students start on the correct r ung of thei r mathematical 1adde:- . For some, that may be the first r ung, wnich, at wmes, is Math M. For others , trii s course wil! be too repetitious - they sr,ou ld start on a di fferent step.· Any member of the matr,ematics and computer science facu lty will be t"1appy to discuss tr,ese questions with indi vidual students. �Debate Team Wins The Wilkes College debate II union began its 1984-85 season !~ with multiple victories at i~ ( Clarion State University.

However, the r elationship between Adams and Wilkes Coi iege goes back further than that ; in fact , Adams has been a fam i 1iar face around campus since his Colonel football playing days. "My most memorable times at Wilkes occurred during my senior year , wher:i I dormed at Gore Hall ," r em inisced Adams. "I look back very fondly to the close fri ends that I had and the times we spent together." Besides being a four-year member of the Wilkes Col,lege Football team, Adams was also a Resident As-sistant ( R.A.) and Vice-President of his graduating class ( '77). "Being an R.A. and on the football team really kept me busy and didn't allow much ti me for other hobbies and interests ," admits Adams. Well , maybe there wasn't enough time in Adams' busy schedule for other hobbies, but there was certainly enough tlme for his other interests , especially in the line of love. "Meeting Jean , of course ,_was one of the .major highlights of my li fe ," said Adams. "Jean and I met in my sophomore year when her roommate was my freshman year roommate's girlfr iend ," concluded Adams.

The r eason for its almost totai anonym ity is that it has only been operational for one year. The studio is located on the second floor of Stark Learning Center. Dr. Bradford Kinney, who is in charge of the studio, had to practically "bui Id" the studio himself. When Kinney asked the college for the station , they told him that if he wanted it, he would have to accomplish the task himself. One year and half-a- million dollar s later , Wilkes had a "state of the art " television studio. Ki nney is excited about the fact that sometime in the near future , the studio will be ab le to broadcast over a channel provided by · Service Electric Cable. Studio engineer , Carl Brigida , said, "The studio could, in fact, brooo::ast over the criannel r ight now," but cannot due to a lack of students to operate the studio and to sacrifice the enormous amount of time needed to proouc.e telecasts. On the brighter side, that statement, Kinney aex1el'J that according to Ki nney , the studio WNEP, a local television station , has already produced a "video has accepted five students from viewbook .. wh ich will be used as Wilkes for internships. WNEP a recruiting device for Wyoming · has expressed interest in Seminary, a local private school. accepting more students from Ki nney was proud to note that Wilkes in the future because of the students ran the entire their training. The studio's full-time operation, Including proouclng the tape, running the control engineer, Brlgldo, ls responsible for maintaining the room, editing, and doing voice-overs. technical equipment and updating Kinney emphasized how the studio, which contains an neccessary, "hands-on expensive editing system that experience" is in broaocast has been used by the United Way journalism and , television and by Mercy Hospital in proouct1on. and that this is what productions of their own. the studio is for. In support of A TV club is also in the works and would welcome anyone interested in learning tt·,e aspects of work ing in and running a television studio.

PA6E ELEVEN A Really Big Man by Mark Tobi no Sophomore, Don Shaw, is truly a big man on campus. Shaw is the slrti keeper for the Colonels Have you seen this man? At 6- 7, most students would ·&!If that he ts just another basketball player recruited by Coach Bellairs. However, this is not the case. Hts 1"18ffle Is Don Shaw and he is the first-string plkeeper for the I 1-6- I Wilkes soccer team. Don, a former engineering major now majoring In mathematics, hos become the spiritual lemr of the Colonel defense this year. Hts size alone is 8flOUljl to influence any opposing forward charolno at the pl, and his deep, commanding voice bellowing "Keeper!" reminds you that althouljl speed kills, the size of Don Shaw seriously injures. In 18 games, Don has only had to make I06 saves, which is just under six saves a game. Now this might sound like relatively few saves to a soccer fanatic, but ~tually this Is a credit to the wr,.; In which Don controls his defense. If somoone Is not marked, Don wm Jet you and the net borl counties know. He gives more orders than a driJJ ser~t. His constant, commanding control of the defense has resulted In fewer chances for opposing players to score, and thus In fewer saves for Don. Don't get me wrong. Don ooesn't sit bu there and just order people around while he reeds Math 21 I and listens to Klss on the Walkman. Anyone who saw the Scrmton-WIJkes game, or more recer.tly the East Stroudsburg game, knows that when a save is needed, Don can be counted on. He has kept the Colonels in six games this year, with a spect~lar variety of saves. However, Don Is not all Mr. Concentration out there, either. Once, an opposing player remarked about Don's orange plie shirt, &lfing, "Punt the bal 1, you carrot." Don pleasantly turned to him and said, "I'm not a carrot, I'm a pumpkin." This mixture of humor and determination is what makes Don an asset in the nets. He understands pressure, and he knows when to relieve some of Sports Neglected by Homecoming work hard dur1ng the season and ooserve to have the appreciation and support of the alumni. The Wilkes soccer team is presently the only winning fall sport on campus and no r~ltlon was given while the team was on the field. Why couldn't more of the alumn1 have coma and watched the game? W11kes playoo East Stroudsburg University, the seventh-nmlced Division II team in the nation, and upset them. We al I ar~t d1splr,.;s to cheer on the football team because the alumni center everyth1ng -around football. Soccer is also a big sport on this campus, not to mention the only winning one. Homecoming should have included soccer in a more signmcant wr,.;. In t 8 games, Don has -recorded four shutouts, which ts just two shy of the school reoord. He has a ~tabl 1.22 pis against average with two games left in the season. Those of you who have not Im a ch8nce to sea this man in ~uon are strongly encouraged to att this Wednesday's match against K1ng's Coll~. home at 3:00 p.m. For Don and the rest of t team, this will be a big game, bec6us8 the lnter-C1 Championship is on the line. When the season ts over, Don gets a brief rest before t baseball seeson begins, when ts a pitcher for the Colonels. Last year, Don provided som key pitching as the baseball team im1evoo an t 8- 7 record and a brief MAC championship. No matter what the sport you can count on leim-ship support from Don Shaw on the field as wal J as off. He Is person who wants to succeed and to excell In everything he ooes, and 1t 1s because of this splr1 that the man is a pleasure to know: SOCCER SIDELIN-ES Why is it that when the alumni choose ·the date for Homecoming, they only consider whether the football team is plr,.;ing at home? I understand that the majority of the alumni who return attended WIJlces Coll0113 durtno the time when the football team was the best around, but that isn't a ~ enouQh reason to leave out the soccer team, the field hockey team, the volleyball team, and the cross country team. This weekend, the Homecoming festivities went smoothly and were the best I have seen in my three years at Wilkes, but why couldn't everyone have been included? I agree that Homecoming should center around a home football game and that the majority of the festivities should happen at halftime, but there is no reason _why the Alumni AssrelaUon shouldrl't oonslder the other sports. All the athletes at Wilkes College it.

I'm not &lfing this weekend was a flop, because it wasn't. What I am saytng ts that maybe in the future the alumni should consilB' picking adate when all the sports can be ·playing at home. I know this won't be an The volleyball team wasn't 8fSt/ task. but ff the alumni try even -on campus this past hard enough to work out a weekend, therefore, the team schedule with the athletic members could not be in oopartment and the stUdents, I'm attendance at Homecom Ing.

On Wednesday, the Colonels traveled to Baptist B1ble to attempt to break the record. The Colonel booters were successful, post1ng a 2-1 vfctory. The Colonels played one of their worst games of the season. The Wflkes men couldn't get on track oofensively or offensively. The Wilkes booters opened the scoring midway through the f lrst half when Jeff Wertz scored on a free kick from 25yards out to give the booters a 1-0 halftime lEm. The Colonels continued to play sloppily at both ends and it caught up to them at the mldpolnt of the second half. A communication breakdown resulted fn a DefenoorgJal and a 1-1 score.

Motivating oneself time Sincerely yours, to the point of anger from and again for proctice and for Constructive Cri,ticism listening to people put cbwn the games is not always very easy. Elizabeth Gibson T~e Beacon has been the subject of numerous criticisms levied by people from all levels of the college community. Granted, we have made mistakes, but most of us are learning from those mistakes. A college newspaper should be a vehicle for learning. Therefore, the Beacon is fulfilling its function. We understand the ease with which a "' person can fall into criticiz ing this paper without any intentions of helping the situation. To place oneself in a vulnerable position, as we do on a weekly basis, requires courage and pride. We have had the courage from day one, and we are slowly building the Beacon into a newspaper the entire campus can be proud of, indeed, into the best college newspaper in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Beacon has prob 1ems, but we are gradua I ly correcting them. Unfortunately, we have been deluged with verbal complaints, and we have yet to receive a proportionate number of written ones. The few letters we have received were accompanied by offers of help or support. The writers of these letters understand the . time and effort needed to produce a Beacon. Those who verbally criticize apparently do not. While we are committed to butlding the best Beacon ever, we cannot do it without cooperation, of and support from the entire college community. Therefore, any criticisms not made in the Beacon's best Interest are not welcome. . ,, t✓~-kt'~;,f,~:;~(✓-;,:.,.,., -·,., ;;!~fa/~.,r;f;;,~i~ . /:~ (%: ,,,7%,~:,i-1/ . •, football team.

"I ·ve been interested in the topic all my life," noted Driscoll, cniing, ''I'm a kind of living example of the battle for equal education, equal job opportunity. and equal pay. and I'm up to my neck in the problem of balancing a career and a family." Driscoll continued, "I think we're surprisingly ignorant about the role that IJlnder plays in every aspect of our lives. We should pay as much attention to this subject as we oo to the study of economics, sociol()(Jf, or the other things we take in an attempt to understand the world in which we live." She noted, "It's really amazing how much our liberal arts disciplines have been oominated by a male point of view, so I just think it's important to have an opportunity to look ot the other side." Driscoll observed that one of the problems in incorporating a course such as "Women's Studies" into the curriculum is that few textbooks but much specific research have · been published. "That is why I think the interdisciplinary approach is a ~ one," she commented , "because we can make (J)od use of . specific research." by Elizabeth Mazzullo Next semester, a three-credit interdisciplinary course.

In the course, Steelman plans to de61 with "women as consumers of health care." She explained, "Being in the health care profession for over 20 years helps me look at how women are affected by the health care system." Steelman continued, "I think the course will have a very positive effect of exposing students to foculty 1n different disciplines, rather than being concentrated in their own disciplines.~· She attic!, "I think it will be a very exciting course.

Another speech tournament sign-up sheet awaits my signature. It's drawing me into the hall, pen in hand. I'm reafy to sign my life awff{ for yet another weekend ( also known as ooing eight events at l:l thr.ee day tournament, which means delivering 24 speeches). I've been a member of the Wilkes Coll81J! Speech and Debate Union for three years. That's three years of my life spent in endless hours of research , writing, and polishing speeches. Yes, It's exhausting, both emotionally and physically.

Standing in front of a room of · strangers, speaking in an organized, intelligent manner, and earning their respect give me the most wonderful feeling. It's a feeling of total and complete self-satisfa::tion -- a feeling everyone should experience. Mff{be that is what Dr. Francis Michelini, the second presirent of Wilkes College, hoo in mind when he hired Dr. Brooford Kinney in 1971. Michelini told Kinney, "I want a forensics prcx;Jram. I want them to be (JXXl and to get rero;Jnition." Kinney replied, "I'll do my best." He did better than that; he created a forensics prcx;Jram where none existed. When Kinney came to Wilkes College 13 years ~, the speech prcx;Jram consisted of one two-hour course taught by the English fa::ulty. "There was virtually no prcx;Jram left," explalned Kinney. Confessions of a Debater "I hoo the opportunity to take a once-great program and mold it. That was awfully exciting. It was a cha Ilenge." Describing the situation as a challenge is hardly an exaggeration. Kinney hoo no focllltles, almost no bU()Jet, and no program to work with. The result was a team with the longest winning streak on campus - - over 30 consecutive wins - - and 624 awards. But we haven't just won the trophies, we've won something even more important respect. We have a reputation for being a well-disciplined, prepared, and alwff{scom pet it ive team. "That winning streak will eventually be broken," Kinney said, "but we will alwff{s have the distinction of being a welldisciplined SQUOO... The cooch of the number-one forensics team 1n the nation, Bruce Manchester of George Mason University. said to Kinney, "When I saw Wilkes was coming to our tournament, I said to myself. 'this is going to be (}xx:! competition."' At the George Mason University speech tounament, we did not beat the number-oneschool in the natton, but we did come in second. Manchester described wilkes' pro,Jram as "one of the best small-school prcx;Jrams I've seen." Wilkes has been invited to al I of GMU's future tounaments and will attend each one. In foct, we recieve more tournament invitations than we can use. , This is quite a difference from our first year as a team, when we received only four invitations for the whole year. But invitations to what? Most people oon't understand exoctly what we do. When I tell someone I'm on the college debate team. the usual response is an "croJOh," with much admiration. But when I explain that I'm octually Involved in forensics, the usual reply is an "oh," with much confusion. The Wilkes College rebate squad is unique because we are a small school involved in both debate and pub lie speaking. Our cooch, Dr. Kinney, is also unique because he advises both the debate and pub lie speaking uni ts. �PAGE SIX The Lennon Legacy Lives OnJulian Would Have Made Papa Proud Vinyl-View by Steve Gambale and Dom Casstse One morning, I woke up , craw loo out of boo, turnoo on my stereo, and then jumpoo into the shower. This was nothing new ; ft was an ordinary morQlng. After a refreshing shower, I entered my room only to hear a hauntingly familiar-sounding song on the radio.

The song seemed to be very well done and containoo that soothingly-familiar Lennon style. I l1stenoo In antfclpatlon, hoping the DJ would tell me who was singing and the name of the tune. I was right. It was a Lennon song, but not one of John's. My friend Dom Cassise ran out and bought the album. Then I found out that the song was the first single released off Ywm!e, the new album by Julian Lennon, who ls the first son of John Lennon. To be fair to Julian, I will not babble on about how similar father and son sound. This album is all Julian. There are a few really catchy tunes on this cut. One song that · will rock on in your head after the first llstenfng ls "Too Late For Goo:lbye." It's a song about a relationship on the rocks. Julian handles the tune in a light-heartoo matter that defeats its dismal theme. On harmonica is the world-renownoo Jean "Toots" Theismans. His skill on the mouth harp 001s to the beat that drives through the song. The next song, "lonely," describes loneliness. Julian feels very alone and the music in the song coincides with its title very well. Unlike "Too late For Goo:lbye," Lonely" is a ballad about Julian's lonely life: "yes I'm lonely and I'm on my own a;)ain." It sounds like Julian feels the same way his dad felt on the classic "white album": "Yes I'm lonely, wanna dte... On sax Is Michael Brecker, who fills the song with a very toctful and tear-jerker.

Look Again, There ~s a Lot to Do - if You Know Where to Look by Cloudia Lee At this time during the ~mester, most coll~ stuoonts have finally settled in and created their own comfor table niches in the college community. We have m~ new friends as well as remained with friends from the previous year. Life at college has become a ser ies of events that are all too familiar. Everything we oo is pr,:tictable and stable , ranging from the time we get up for class to when and with whom we eat lunch and dinner . Even our social activities become stagnant after a whi le. Be they playing sports, worki ng, watching TV, or shopping, even weekend events become r itualistic. Whether you're dancing at the 2-5, partying at 391 , or Just hanging out with your fr iends , the weekends can become monotonous after a while. Many of you may be woncilring just what else there is to oo to make your lives more interesting and eventful, After all, the same thing day after day, week after week, can prove to be boring after awhile. Perhaps it's a !J:xx1 time for a change. Think about these few suooestions that may help give your life a little ~ spark of excitement. First of all, as many of you can attest to, music plays a big part in most of our lives. Therefore , this may be the best place to star t improving , changing, and experimenting. (There are plenty of ways to oo so.) One of the more drastic ways would be to start listening to a totally different kind of music. Who knows? It may prove to be an intrcxluction to something you never real ized you liked. There are so many types of music to choose from: rock and roll, dance music, top 40, classical , country and western, bluegrass, jazz, new wave, oldies, heavy metal, scores from Broooway musicals -- you name it. There are aspects of each of these types of music which make them unique and special. If yotJ aren't into listening to something different, why not expand on the music you air~ enj oy? For example, if you lfke more instrumental rock and roll, chances are a record cut by a i;J:xx1 rock and roll guitarist would fit nicely into your record collection. Likewise , country music fans may find they like bluegrass as well. If you're more versatile and you enjoy many different types of music, or even if you aren't, you may be able to augment that appreciation by learning to play an instrument. Enough about music. Let's explore what Wilkes has to offer. If you've never been to a club-sponsored SUB party or gym party, check one out ! They're a fun way to unwind with a group of friends or even alone. You won' t be alone for long, because these parties are always popu lated with pe.op le you know. If you're not into dancing or partying, but are more of an observer. the college sponsors movies with usually only a smal I charge for admission. Another inexpensive icila is to see a Wilkes . play in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. These are fun and a cheap way to enjoy yourself. You may even want to audition for one of the productions. For you sports fans , joining a team is a i;J:xx1 way to participate in a sport you like and meet new people at the same time. Who knows? You may even lead your team to a championship! If you oon't have time to give to a team but want to r emain active , there are plenty of facilities available. Just across the river are a quarter mile track, tennis courts, baseball and softball diamonds , and other fields. Weight rooms are available In Pickering Hall and Weckesser Annex, and there are basketball courts available in the gym and behind Pickering and Evans Halls. Sk i trips are even offered . as gym classes. There are many sports _activities. For you observers, why not catch a Wilkes match or game one day when the Colonels are playing at home? Buses are usually available for rabid fans for away games. The Wilkes library has IJxx1 books and magozines. The Osterhout Free Library on Franklin Street has more selections to choose from. If you like to shop and you're bored with Boscov's, but you oon't have a car, buses leave from Public Square approximately every half hour for the Wyoming Valley Mal l. The trlp only costs 60 cents. The mall is much more extensive than any store within walking distance of the college. For !J:xx1 bargains on fresh pr oouce , there is a Far mer's Market in Public Square every Thur sday after I I a. m. Local far mers sell their fr eshlygrown and freshly- picked vegetables and fr uits , usually for lower prices than gr ocery stores charge. These are j ust a few suooestions for you to think over. Try out a few new things. Maybe one of them will be just the right way to oo:1 a little extra excitement to your life!

He went , on to comment that bocause the Russians are not afforded the above-mentioned freoo:,ms , they will never experience our l~ies.

He ooscribed education as the only instrument at society's disposal which can be used to produce responsible individuals. Karakash noted that we Dr . ,John J.

The cross-town rivalry between Wilkes and King's has finally reoched a point where It has become oostructive and unhealthy. Wednesday's game was a display of the worst conduct between two teams that I have ever seen. The King's College team started 1he game by scoring quickly, and then began taking cheap shots at the Colonels to keep them from scoring. The game was filled with fouls and penalties. With a little over a half-minute remaining in the game, the Colonels scored to send the game into overtime.

J Beat King's,2-1 Booters Break Win Record by Frank Wanzor The Wilkes College soccer team closed out its season with two victories, finishing with one of the best records In the history of Wilkes College sports, 13-6-1. On Wednesday, the Colonels hosted cross-town rival King's College for the inter-city championship. The Colonels fell behind early In the match as a defensive lapse led to a Monarch 9J8I. The Wilkes men started to oominate play and to pressure the Monarchs shortly after the first !J>al, but hoo trouble hitting the netcords and trailed 1-0 at halftime. The second half was much like the first, with Wilkes oom1natlng but not scoring. As time was running down, the Wilkes booters began to push everyone forward In pursuit of one elusive 9)81. When it looked as If the Colonels were destined for · defeat, the Wilkes booters surprised everyone but themselves. Greg Trapani hit a long cross which Jay Toomey heaild back ocross the !J>al mouth to John Pursell, who beat the Monarch keeper with just 33 seconds remaining to tie the score at l - 1. Many fans considered the final 33 seconds of the match to be the most exciting moments of the game. The Colonels dispossessed a Monarch forward at the midfleld and began to attock again. With both teams looking for the winning 9)81, a shot was deflected and a Colonels forward and the Monarch keeper colliood when both tried to play the ball. The King's keeper began throwing punches and both benches emptied in response with four seconds r emaining. · After control was restored and two players were ejected, the teams heaoo:l into overtime. The Colonels IJ.)t a break when a King's defender committed one of King's 49 fouls approximately 22 yards out. Jeff Wertz quickly struck a shot into the upper- left corner of the net for a 2- I Wilkes victory. On Saturday, the Wilkes booters traveled to Delaware Valley !o close out their season against the AgJies. Wilkes quickly jumped on top as freshman striker John Pursell hit the 20-point club by putting a volley past the Aooie keeper only three minutes into the match. Greg Tr apani and Jeff Wertz were credited with assists, and the Colonels led 1-0. The Wilkes boater s continued to control play but were unable to score and held a 1-0 halft1me 1000. The Colonels upped their leoo to 2-0 when Greg Trapani joined Wertz and Pursell in the 20-point club by scoring from 10 yards out on an assist from Wertz. .r J.

XXXVI I Number 9 Wilkes- Barre, PA 18766 November 13. 1984 Wilkes Co1Jege Wilkes Debater Headed to Europe by Kathy Hyde Two American coll~ will be . represented at the International Debate and Discussion Tournament in Lonoon, England this year and Wllkes· Coll~ will be one of them , thanks to junior Walter Schonfeld. On November 4, Schonfeld, along wtth five other finalists from across the nation, competed in Chical}) for the honor of representing the United States at the debates in Great Britain. Schonfeld was selected to be a member of the two-man team which will tour the British Isles for five or six weeks beginning January 25. Schonfeld, who is from Parsippany, New Jersey, toured Europe In the summer of 1977 and is 88!J3r to return. He explained that before le.aving for Europe, he and- his teammate will meet in Minnesota for three weeks for an intense preparatory course. While in Great Britain, the American team will debate at various universities. Right now the schedule is tentative, said Schonfeld, "but we're almost positive that we'll be at both Oxford and GambriOJS. and there's g»j chance we will be invited to speak in Parliament." The team. along with several advisors, will formulate twelve possible topics for debate which will be offered to eoch British team. Any one of these could be selected, so the Americans must be fully prepared to discuss all twelve. Schonfeld explained that "burnout is the biggest problem for a debater. We will probably not speak more than three times a week , but it could total upwards of twenty before we·re finished." Luckily, Nthot will le.ave plenty of time for touring," he{Ojed. The trip will cause Schonfeld to miss quite a bit of school next semester. Because he is on an ROTC scholarship, he must remain a full-time student at the same time that he Is overseas.

When at Wilkes have been those with we lose a collection we lose over full participation by 400 units, and this collection administration, staff, faculty, alleviates that scarcity," and students. �PAGE TWO Commitment to Journalism Needed The commitment to build the Beacon into a strong publication must extend further than the staff itself. Not only must we be committed, but Wilkes College must share in the effort as well. A strong journalism program could only benef i t a college newspaper. After viewing student newspapers from across the country, it is quite clear that students from those institutions with a respectable journalism department usually publish the better newspapers. Presently, ther~ are not enough journalism majors at Wilkes College to provide a competitive atmosphere for editorial positions. The majority of Wilkes communication majors steer themselves toward the electronic media, presumably attracted by the electronic gadgetry. What they perhaps do not recognize is that in .aQ¥ communications job, they w i 11 be asked to write. An effort must be made to inform students of opportunities in the newspaper industry as well. Many students do not visualize themselves as print journalists because of the pr9minence of television and radio. Recruiting high school students interested in print media would provide the proper basis for a growing journalism program. The strong English department at Wilkes also provides a nice foundation on which to bui Id. Presently, Wilkes does not employ a full-time professor who specializes in journalism. A financial commitment to specialized faculty has been severely lacking and deserves some attention. Because we lack a full-time journalism teacher, ' students here tend to lean towards the electronic media. Of the three major communication media - · print, television, and radio-the print media is the least expensive to incorporate into a college faculty. Aside from the initial cost of hiring additional faculty members, a journalism program requires very little financing. There is no need for expensive, state-of-the-art gadgetry that is so es sent i a1 to television and to radio. Surprisingly, the College already owns the needed f ac i1 it i es. The word processing room in the Stark Learning Center currently serves as the classroom for Communications 211, Basic News Writing. No immediate plant additions would be necessary to expand the journal ism program. We are pleased to see the College work towards establishing a television studio to accompany the already-sound radio stat ion. But, for a fraction of those costs, the College could do wonders for the nearly non-existent journal ism program . What Happened tfere?

I came into my senior year Editor: ttJ,<e Jtet<t•» �PAGE THREE Reagan Lacks Mandate by Richard " ~ ~~, What ~ Price ro the Editor: When man first unleashed the awesome power of the atom ic bomb , a new era was born: The Nuclear Arms race. This race for military super iority has led to an immense build up of nuclear arsenals on both sides of the globe. The weapons of these two camps vary in explosive for ce. They range from a subhiloton "tactical'· bomb ( equivalent to less than l ,000 tons of TNT); to a 25- megaton warhead, equivalent to 25 million tons of TNT and two thousand times as powerful as the bomb that burst over Hiroshima. The building up of all these weapons of annihilation seems pointless, but in the eyes of those who are in charge of the stock pi ling, it is a very necessary act. The main idea behind all of this piling up of arms is supposedly to prevent war . Each superpower is putting a "chip" on his sholder waiting for the other to stay even with him, not falling ,I ' • · .. ... · •.'. ·::;, . ':·ll~BB · Salvation? behind in the race for Nuclear ':,upremocy. There is a term for th is type of philosophy that the people in charge of this operation use, it's referred to as "mutually assured destruction" ( M.A.D.). The ability todestr(1f one-quarter to one- half of the opponents· population and industry is often deemed sufficient to guarantee that he will find no real political or military gain worth the price. Despite this horrifying potential , nuclear weapons development has become such a common part of our lives that we seem almost unmoved by eoch new advance. Can it be that we have finally learned to live with tile bomb? Pernaps we tak.e man's destructive capability too lightly. Walter F. Mondale once stated that "We are the first generation with the capacity to destroy all life on this planet. " While this arms buildup routinely take place, 9Nernment scientists on both sides keep trying to advance their "War Machines" even further . New experimental weapons such as the laser and subatomic particle beam have been researched on an exper imented with. These new tools of destruction could very well advance war into a new arena: space. The horrifying possibilities of what could happen in the future are unmeasurable. It takes only one mooman ar fool who misunderstands a crisis to bring civilization to an abrupt end. The generations after World War II did not experience the horror and shock of Hiroshima. Some scientists say that every few years a multimegaton weapon should be expl~ in the atmosphere in front of the assembled leaders of the world, so ttlat they will stand in awe of its incomprehensible heat and force. Even at a safe distance of thirty miles or more, they will feel the blast like the opening of an oven o:xir, or the gates of Hell. John Domzalski Tutwiler Assuming he remains in ~ health, Ronald Reagan will serve four more years as this country's president. The 1984 gener al election was unquestionably a great victory for Reagan, as even Walter Mondale conceded. Gaining all but fourteen electoral votes, the incumbent received 59i of the popular vote. other Republican condidotes fored less well. The Democratic party holds a majority in the House and picked up two more Senate seats. On balance, it appears the electorate has confidence in the president himself, but is withholding full approval of his party and its platform. The implications of last Tuesday's voting for the future of this country are difficult to determine. The popular support unequaled since Richard Nixon's 1972 mandate will no ooubt strengthen Reagan's personal direction of administration pol icy. Whether or not the legislation rie proposes can be , succes_<;fully guided through ~.'ongress 1s. of course , another matter Perhaps in areas where a president has greater decision-making power -- such as foreign affairs - - we will see more resolute l~rship than in the past.

The issues were much the same then as they are now. McGovern r an as the peace candidate. Nixon was ~ ing to retrieve our national honor wfth a show of strength. The state of the economy and massive buo;Jet deficits were major oomest ic concerns. The result of the two elections are sim i lar: a masslve re-election victory for the Republican president while Democrats held thelr own in the congress. Strangely enough, in 1972 the Republicans were the proponents of fiscal responsibility. A balanced buo;Jet was their concern, and not something that hoo much import for the Democrats. This year the roles were reversed. In 1972 the college students were the vanguard of McGovern support. This year the youth of America rallied around Reagan. Nixon could claim a me.asure of detente with the Soviets, and was demonstrably concerned wlth n8!J)tiating arms control agreements. Mondale promised much the same. Reagan appears to S'<Jf . that the best W'it,/ to control the arms race is to build more nuclear weapons.

This article presents the personal views of several members of the Board of Trustees; it ooes not attempt to report the Board's official position. by E11zabeth Mazzullo Over a century 81,Jl, Cardinal Newman, in Ille .l.dea of a University, asked, " .. . are OCQuirements and attainments the scope of a University Education? or expertness in particular ar.1s.am1 purslfits? m:· IllllCfil .t1Dd rnilJlilUS proficiency? or. something besides these three?" This year , President Christopher Breiseth will oo::tress similar questions when he presents a redefinition of the "mission" of Wilkes. To atd Breiseth in preparing his mission statement, a task force now meets to gather student, staff, and administrative input on a series of quest ions concerning the purpose and nature of Wilkes College. Defining what she sees as the aim of Wilkes College, Patricia Davies, chairman of the Board of Trustees, explained, "Educational institutions have a responsibility to educate students for citizenship as well as for their future life - ~mic or professional." She oo:1ed, "Wilkes started out as a liberal arts college with an unique mission in this town -to give local students an education. It was almost entirely commuter; it's almost SO percent residential now with d1fferent needs. Wllkes ts evolving. That's a very healthy state of affairs." According to Trustee William Conyngham, "The reason Wilkes College was founded was to provide a college education for students who didn't have enough money to ~ aw~. Wilkes has grown enormously. It now provides graduate degrees, but it is st ill brooo-based." "The main mission of Wilkes is to t~h young people to think for themselves," Conyngham continued , " and I think we've been ratl)er successful in ooing that." Another purpose of the college, occording to Trustee Richard Ross Jr. , is to prepare students "to be reedy for the world when they meet it." He also stated that Wilkes should "take care of [students·] career needs." One of the current issues in higher education, discussed in the recent Mortimer report, concerns the fulfillment of these career needs, particularly the balance between the traditional liberal arts curriculum and technical or preprofessional courses. "I think that Wilkes is uniquely situated to provide both," noted Davies. She oo:1ed, "I'm ~oted to the liberal arts, but I realize that the demands of the times are becoming more -technical. .. Trustee Esther Davidowitz agreed, explaining, "I personally feel that In order to be a wel I-educated person, you need four years of liberal arts" as an undergraduate, with career training occurring in graduate school. "Realistically, that's not really possible. Students oon't have the time or the money," she continued. Davidowitz oo:1ed, "There are very few jobs available with a liberal arts background, and we live in a very expensive world." Other trustees hold conflicting views. James Adonizio believes, "Technical courses would be very useful at this point," but Conyngham stated, "The purpose of Wilkes College is to provide a we 11-rounded education , not necessarily technical, because other schools iri the area can provide that." Some trustees, however, feel that a balance of traditional and technical courses is necessary. Arnold Rifkin. treasurer /assistant secretary of the Board, observed, "I think, really, that part of the mission of Wilkes is to fulfill the needs of the students in both areas." Commented Ross, "I think that the balance the college has now is a \)XX1 one. Obviously. this is a very strong issue." The trustees offered comments and sug;JeStions for imorovino various aspects of Wilkes. These aspects include the curriculum, the campus itself, and cultural affairs. Looking at ~mies, Ross noted that Wilkes "probably responsive to the needs of the needs more graduate courses, community, and, obviously, to perhaps in engineering" and that the needs of the students as well, the college needs to offer more and I think that should be interdiscip I inary programs. continued." Davies also rec()Jnized these "Departments have to work together to cover subjects responsibilities. "The fact that students want to hear about," the Wilkes lies right in the mictile of Wilkes-Barre gives it special trustee explained. Several trustees expressed responsibilites to the what they see as a need for community," she noted, acxling increases sports facilities to that Wilkes' size carries responsibilites. better serve the college. "I acxlitional has very rare think we're definitely lacking a "Wilkes sports complex," stated opportunities in that it is a Aoonizio, "such as a swimming small college ," Davies observed. "That's an increasingly rare and pool and a much larger arena." Davies said, "Students tooay special thing. Many students are very aware that it's very come here for the experience of important to have a strong m.ind being a name, not a number." and a strong bcrlf. Students can't Conyngham said, "As far as stu(1y' all the time, and they have the community is concerned, the to have time for recreation. I'd college has certainly oone rather like more opportunity for this at well in preserving a Wilkes, and that means more deteriorating section (of opportunity for sports and Wilkes-Barre) physically and recreation." brought a number of outstandinq Rifkin also feels that a new faculty members and students sports complex would make here. It has also opened a lot of things "more comfortable" for people's eyes to what's ~ing on Wilkes students; he stated that in northeastern Pennsylvania... oo::tit ional parking faci I it ies Davies and Davidowitz would also help the college serve its students. Discussing another aspect of college life, Davidowitz said, "I would like to see more cultural activities and strong WO"' ! 016 THAT gA8£ / involvement in the arts.

We have them and they are very poorly attended." "For example, the music department has innumerable concerts by students, for students, which are very sparsely attended," she continued, oo:ling, "There's something the matter." Encouraging culture, Davidowitz sug;JeSted, is also part of Wilkes' purpose as a liberal arts college: "When you ~ to school in a small town, then the institution has a DON'T &oTH~ WrtH Ttf IS responsibility to provide l>lftTBA6 HOff£'f.

"I think that Wilkes has to be a (})Od neighbor and that it has to have a sensitivity to the community ," Rifkin stated, oo::ling, "Wilkes pas alw~s been pointed out responsibilities that members of the colleQe community have to Wilkes. "As a trustee," Davies noted, "the best thing I can oo is to lend support to a high-grade staff. It's up to the trustees to support professors in the endeavor for quality education." The Board's support, she further explained, is concerned with the buo;iet. The chairman oo:1ed, "Financial aid is more important than ever. There's a very serious problem In the cost of tuition at every college." Davidowitz stressed the importance of student responsibility to Wilkes, particularly-the need for student input in the search for the mission of Wilkes. "The answers aren't as important as the questions being asked [about the mission]." she explained, lliilng that getting people to think about the questions was more important. Oavidowitz concluded, "That's the responsibility of each student - - to decide what he wants and to help that come about." IICfCEI T.MotJseu. HE.Y 8AB1, 1 D16 '1011,. ST'flt. com HU.£ OFTE,. ?

Monsell The Board of Trustees is the heart that pumps the blcxx1 to Wilkes Colle,J3, yet not many people outside of the ooministration know who the members are. "You couldn't run a collEJJ3 like this without a Board to bookstop the lnstftutlQrl." said Presioont Christopher Breiseth. It's easy to see that the Board of Trustees Is an Integral part of Wilkes Colle,J3. But just who are these people who have the power to hire and to fire a president, to approve or to disapprove rEn>mmendatfons from the ministration , and to supply the colle,J3 with a great deal of the funds neeood to keep this Institution alive? The 11st of trustees reoos like a list of "Who's Who Among Suroessful People 1n the Unltoo States." There are 34 ootive members on the board and eight Trustees Emeriti. Trustees Emeriti are people who have served on the Board and have distinguished themselves as members of the colle,J3 community. Among those Trustee Emeriti are Donald F. carpenter, retired head of DuPont's Film Division ; Mrs. Eberhard Faber, director of Eberhard Faber, Inc.; and The Honorable Max Rosenn, Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. Another Emeriti was the recently deceased Louis Shaffer, a prominent Wilkes-Barre attorney. The Trustees Emeriti attend Board meetings but do not vote on the Issues. Twenty-two of the ootive Board members live loc.ally, coming to the Board meetings from Kingston, Bear Creek, Dallas, and Shavertown. The rest of the Board is spread out throughout the United States, aMng "a !Jxx1 balance between local perspective and national perspective," said Dr. Breiseth.

Vinyl View - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Reviving the Reggae Beat-by Steve 6ambale 1.mWc gf 1.m by UB40 contains a selection of songs that represent an era in music history. These songs represent · reggae before it was discovered by cops, sociol(YJists, and TV producers. They are reggae before it was claimed by lefties, . liberals, punks, and nasties. They are the reggae that was snickered at by DJs when It first appeared on the scene. Today, reg;iae is expanding and is ~tting more rooio time than ever. This is apparent when you look at one of the more popular bands of today: the Police. The Police use that reg;Jae beat to perfection. On the album .Labwt gf .Ltrle.. released in 1983, UB40's purpose is to bring book some of the classic regJae tunes that everyone snickered at when they were first released. What these tunes really deserve is praise. Next time you're partying with your bucklies, throw on e !J:01 reg;iae music. It is me of the most enjoyable party usic you'll ever hear, and this album contains songs from the reooae masters. All the songs on the album were recordoo by reggae artists between 1969 and 1972. One song, entitled "Sweet Sensations," is a cool tune that was wr ltten by the great Melodeans. This song has a partying beat and is really easy to get into. The album's finest song is "Red, Red Wine... This tune is well done; it Is hard to believe it was written during an era charooterlzed by so much political strife. It has a simple and appealing sound. The next song, "Guilty," was written by a band member named .. Tiger.·· A regJae balloo, this tune is more a story than a song. The singer doesn't sing, but Instead tells a story, and a pretty interesting story to boot. "She caught the Train," written by Winston Groovey, is another story of lost love. This song r eally impressed me because of its interesting style. All the instruments that many bands don't use anymore are used io a classic ww, I can't understand why more of today's bands don't use the instruments of those past days. I guess they've for~tten the meaning of simplicity. One of the best songs is "Version Girl. .. This song was on the Afrjr.an Nerbsman album by Bob Marley and the Wailers. You don't have to be a regJae fan to appreciate the immortal Bob Marley~ you just have to like life. Marley and his band sing about the simpler things in life, the things everyone should appreciate. The UB's capture the essence of reooae as it was. This album is f 111ed wlth the sound of ye-.;terday. In those days, reooae appealed not to the intellect or to social consciousness but to the he.art and to the hips. The UB's were probably .very young at the time and loved these songs as only kids can. Almost fifteen years later on .LabQUt gf Loi'.e. the bond shares material with the public which otherwise may have died, revealing the emotional impact the songs had on the band. 1 Deadly · 5 Falls short 11 Administer 12 Onslaught 14 Near 15 Cuddles up 17 A state: abbr. 18 Edge 20 Food programs 21 Unit of Japanese currency 22 Send forth 24 Single 25 Hurried 26 Planet 28 Whirlpool 30 Attempt 31 Sunburn 32 Parts of play 2 Dr. Breiseth said, "I see my role as keeping the Board informed of developments on campus and to keep them aware of what ls ahead, both short-term and long-term." One of the long- range developments the Board is working on now is the posslblllty of a new athletic foollity.

Its booi ngs are not particularly comfortable," commented Dr. Michael O'Neill, who is directing Wwzec;k (pronounced Voit-set< ), a Wtlkes Coll~ Theatre Pr oouction which opens Friday, November 16, at 8:00 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. Written in 1836 by German playwright Geor g Buchner, Wrtaeck is based on a htstorical figure of the same name whose celebrated mur der trial was the first in history in which a plea of temporary insanity was used as a defense. "If this play were oone in Germany in 1836 , the audience would have known who W~k was," said O'Neill. "The play has always fascinated me," he continued, "No one is really sure what the real play is because it wasn't discovered unt II 40 years after Buchner's ~th. O'Neill explained that there are many unanswered questions about the play, because Buchner, who died from typhoid at the • of 24, left no final copy, leooing experts to believe that the play may be unf1n1shed. There are 29 short scenes in the play, and ~ding to H ~ pl~ in the barroom of the local inn. "They may be three separ ate scenes, or they may be rewrites of the same scene," said o· Nei 11. In the play , WCJyz.eck is a man who is so dehumanized and manipulated by society that he is driven Insane. The medical and scientific communities use him as a guinea pig for stu<ty and experimentation. L1ke the historical WCJt{ZOOk , the character in the play is poor , and in return for money he submits himself to a ·1oca1 physician who experiments with his diet. It is ironic that Buchner, a physician himself, depicts the oxtor in the play as a r uthless and misgu11Ed scientist who allows WCJt{ZOOk to eat nothing but peas for three months. According to O'Neill , Wqyzeck ls considered by many to he the first mtmrn tr~. "WfJ(/1!,d. ts 4 common Illa\ who has a soul. His dreams, aspirations, and feeling are as noble as Oedipus' or Hamlet's, but his station in life allows him no expression. Oedipus acx1resses the Thebans, and WCJyz:eck talks to a barroom full of drunk peasants," said O'Neill. Wrtaeck has enjCJyed popularity in coll~ theatres for the past 35 years precisely because it is so mooern, said Klaus Holm , designer of both the light ing and the set . examines a morel of the set. O'Neill, "there is dispute about the sequence of the final scenes." In one arrangement WCJyz.eck drowns, while in another he is captured by authorities. There are also three scenes which take O'Neill. "The narrative is f r(qllented, the scenes are short, and the characters are ·types' rather than fully developed. There is also some Director Michael O'Neill rehearses a scene with actors Brian Dorsey, Rick Rothlisberger, and Gene Wachowski . .. confuston between dream and reality, and the play fdfresses some very complicated psychological Issues," said O'Neill. The dehumanization of the Individual is very unusual subject matter for literature of that time perioo, noted O'Neill. "There is no logical explanation for why this play was wrltten 1n 1836," he said. "There is no precedent for it. Plop. It was just there." O'Nefll said he found the play interesting from a directorial point of view because he had to find "corr elat ives for the intense sub- text of the play." _According to O'Nei 11, the play ~Is wi th human drives and instincts in their most primitive for ms. Accordingly , !he set, designed by KJaus Holm , is a circle, which is a primitive the.atrical device. The play as a whole will try to convey the coarse and vulgar life of the German peasant. "In the end," said O'Nefll "the actual bloo(ty deed is something WCJyz.eck ooes himself. No one tells him to oo it. The only individual act he has left is a violent one. " ' "The spook iest thing about the play," he continued, "is that it shows that humans have the ~ity to harm m-i other. They try to blame science, tecnology, poverty . . . but ultimately there is no one to blame but themselves." O'Neill predicts that audience response to a pJay of this kind wfll be positive, but warns that people "shouldn't expect to see the kInd of pJay done at the dinner theatre in SwCJyersvi Ile." "They won't be able to reach into any standard bag of responses and pu 11 out the proper one for this play because they won't find it," he said. "The subject matter . ts violent. It may offend some people. Buchner wants to shake up the audience as much as WfJ(Zf!£k was shaken up by his society," O'Nefll remarked, 00'.ling, "People should enjCJy the experience, but they should also be quite disturbed by It." ******* Showtimes for YJ.fNZ.f!l,i. are as follows: Friday, Nov. 16 : 8:00 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 : 8:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18: 2:00 p.m. Students receive one free ticket with their ID.

Financial Aid (CPS) - - Students looked out of 1984 ffd3ral financial aid programs could find some opened cmrs next year if Ronald Reagan signs the fiscal 1985 education funding bill now on his CESk. Experts predict Reagan will sign H.R. 6028, which contains the federal education boo;Jet for the Oct. 1, 1984 to Sept. 30 1985 fiscal year, and which was passed on Oct. 11 by both houses of Congress. "We think the increoses will loosen up financial aid substantially," Lou Deitrich, Department of Education, spokeswoman reports. Nevertheless, some aid directors around the country fear that the increases may be too little and too late to help current students, and that they're not big enough to help students new to the aid programs. Still, Congress's aid bUQJet is $1 .7 billion more than the president wanted 1n the 1985 bUQJet. In his bud;Jet request del1vered to Congress last February, Reagan wanted to fund I the Pel I program at its 1984 level, eliminate Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOO) and State Stuoont Incentive Grants, drastically cut National Direct Student Loans ( NDSL), and increase Work/Stuay and GSL allocations.

Congress instead has increased the total education buo;Jet by 14 percent and sent it to the White House for R~'s stgnature. "There are increases in just about every program for 1985," Dietrich notes.

In 1983, with nine freshmen starting, the team compiled an 8-8-2 ' record and this past season, with only one senior. co-captain Tim Wi lliams, Wilkes soccer was I 3-6 -1 . The 13 wins were the most ever in the sport's 36-year history at Wilkes. It was the first winn ing season since 1971 and only the 11th of all-lime. · The six losses came at the hands of · regionally - ranked Division 1r and Ill teams as well as a Division I institution. The Colonels ended with a 5- 1 MAC Nor thwest League mark. leav ing them in second place by a half game behind Elizabethtown. Wilkes finished the season on a six - game winning streak , compiling a 4-0-1 record in overtime matches and upping its home record to 13- 4- l over the past two seasons. "The home field advantage has proven to be a big plus for us ," commented Wingert. "This season we upset seventh- ranked East Stroudsburg, beat Messiah, Susquehanna, and King's , and tied Virginia Tech at home." Williams. the only graduating player , has experienced both the IJX)d and bad t1mes as a Colonel kicker . In his 198 l freshman campaign, Wilkes finished 0-14 , allowing opponents 94 goals. As a sophomore , William s was named co-captairi, and although Wilkes only won two matches , his defensive prowess helped lim it opponents to 33 goals. "Tim has made large contri butions to our prcx;iram·s prcx;iress over the past three seasons," ao.:1ed Wingert. "He has performed well on the fi eld and has always been a key individual during our recruiti ng on campus. He has developed into my right-hand man and he will be sorely missed next season." Ironman keeper Don Shaw anchored the Colonel defense. The 6 · 7" sophomore appeared in all 20 games, allowing 23 goals, for a 1. 15 goals f1Ji}inst average_ He made I 12 saves en route to five shutouts, one shy of the school record. Offensively, the Colonels averaged better than two ~ls an outing, scoring 42 gJals on 47 assists. The team placed three individ•Jals in the 20-point club. Prior to this season only six Wilkes players had ever reached the 20-point club. Sophomore midfie loor Jeff Wertz led the way with 29 points ( nine goals, 1 I assists). He is th ird on the season scoring list and his two-year totals are 17 !J)als and 12 assists. Wertz was followed Dy fr eshman str iker John Pursel l ( 2 1 points, eight goals, five assists). Pursell netted five game- winn ing goals in his rookie campaign. Junior Gr eg Trapan i, a wi nger, had 20 points. · "These three scorers came up with ten game-winning goals ," said Wingert "Trap is in the ri qht pla.-:e , Pursell is an opportunist. . ano Wertz i1as the uncanny ob i I ity to score off restarts." A oominant fllrce behind the Colonels' success was sophomore co-captain Frank Wanz.or. The center midfieloor was the team's fourth leading scorer with four qJals and four assists.

Reese said, "Things fell into pllnl this year and we picked up a few lastminute kids, and that should help us a lot. " This year, Reese could start as many as four freshmen in the opening match. This youth could prove to be a weakness for the Colonels. A lack of depth in the upper weight classes could prove to be hozoroous for the Colonels. According to Reese, the team has only one wrestler for each of the upper weight classes. Any illness or injury could cause a large gap in the line-up. The strength of this year's squad lies in the m1ci11e weight classes. From 134 lbs. to 16 7 lbs. , the squad has a lot of depth and stability, due to the f~t that several team members will be battling for the starting position. The Colonels will be opening their season with two of the toughest teams in the country, Navy and Lehigh. Reese feels that if the freshmen can pull through in the early meets, that by the time January rolls around. the team should be set for a better year than last year. "We lost some meets last year we shouldn't have, but if we lose this year, it will be because of inexperience, and that is a positive Wcfo/ to lose," said Reese. Two new assistant cow;hes are joining the squad this year. Reese sees that as a great advantage. "Gary Siegel and Bill D(X)Je are providing a lot of help at pr~tice and the kids feel comfortable with them, so therefore they can talk to th~m more easily." Co-captains Tom Jamicky and Jim Mulligan will be leading the very young Colonels squad this year. Three talented freshmen will be vying for the lead spot: former New York state champ Dennis Mejias, Lance Ing, and Scott Bi1 ker. Newcomers wi II also be filling the 126- lb. spot. Mark Gerbino from New Jersey looks to be the favorite, with Brian Potier and Lou Rossi providing support. Junior Gary Sanchez and sophomore John Cheerie will wage quite a battle for the 142· lb. spot, and freshmen Rich Lizak and Jim Cunningham will b~k them up. A three-way race is shaping up at 150 lbs. with last year's starter 0len Whiteman being pushed by freshmen Tony Ri(J)Us and Al Adams. Adams may also wrestleat 142 lbs.

At least one source, who did much to shape the education policies of the first Reagan term, said that they're correct. The only change will be that President Reagan probably will not propose abolishing the U.S. Department of Educotion again, said Ron Docksai , author of the education section 1)f the conservative Heritage Foundation's landmark Mandate for Leadershi p Report. In his first term, President Reagan tried to Implement virtually all the education policies Docksai outlined. Docksai now has competition from others who hope to help cast education policies in the second term.

Th is invitation in The Daily Bulletin prompted me to tune in to our college station. I was tired of commercial stations, so I thought some "alternative music" would be nice for a change.

"We can't just break up our format! " someone cried. I said I would settle for some "rap." The "cilejay" mumbled something to the effect that he didn't consider rap a legitimate form of music.

The quality of the displays this year was probably the best in the last ten years. The number also was the largest. Choosing the best was extremely difficult and several committee members were disappointed that some displays were unable to get recognition because of the many top-notch dispiays. n-,e committee die r ecommend that the casn prize:, be continued next year We wou Id hope that some method be devised that the displays be left intact unti 1 .Sunday morning.

The symbolic leooer of Indian national ism , Mohandas Gandhi, was assassinated shortly after independence by a Hindu fanatic disappointed at the partitioning of the country. In an atmosphere of communal violence and economic distress, the new leader of India, Jawaharal Nehru, struggled to create a viable state. In his seventeen years as prime minister, Nehru preserved democratic government, improved economic conditions, .and helped :nctla emerge os a le.oder of th.e Third World. Closely associated with Nehru's efforts· was his daughter Mrs. Indira Gandhi ( no relation to Mohandas) who after a brief interlude succeeded her father as Prime Minister in 1966~ Mrs. Gandhi's main problems revolved around chronic disputes with Pakistan, poverty , and regional and communal divisions within India. A nation of over 700 mill ion, India has many different ethnic and religious groups. Though the vast majority are Hindu, there are over 90 mi ll ion Muslims and some 15 million Sikhs. The • latter are a particularly vi(J)rous people, prominent in the army , proouctive in agriculture , and skilled in technol~. The Sikhs have played a ~-ev role in creating modern India, while at the same time demanding greater autonomy. Demands for Sikh autonomy led to disputes between the government of Mrs. Gandhi and separatists which culminated in the storming of the most holy Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple in Amritsar. by Indian army troops. Indira Gandhi came to be seen as an enemy of the Silch people and was ·rewarded with assassination in the fall of 1984. What repercussions Mrs. Gandhi's death will have for India are very di ff icu 1t to gauge. Radj iv Gandhi , the late P.t1 .' s son, is not a well-qualified politician, but was turned to as a symbol of Indian national unity, a fourth ~neration learer whom all parties can rally around. His task is to manipulate the local political basses who hold power , in order to maintain unity. He must also find a means to resolve the communal str1fe with the Sikh community, without making concessions that will alienate Hindus and weaken the state. The old problems of disagreement with Pakistan and of poverty remain unanswered. Whi le the. difficulities faced by India may seem insurmountable,the Indian state has shown great resilience over the last forty yoors. We can probably expect an interval before new leoo?rship emerges , whic;h while not rec...olvmg all of India's crises will be able to contain them within marcgeable · parameters. If such leooership cnis not come forward . there will be increased . communal violence triat could le.oo to an authoritarian regime, destroying democracy in the name of order and national unity.

Wilkes Plans Alcohol Awareness Week by Laura Vallone , ~ Sunday, January 27, 1985 will mark the fi rst d8y of Alcohol Awareness Week at Wilkes. According to the Dr. Robert Boh lat'KEr , assistant professor of p5Ythol0!1f and unofficial chairman of the prcq-am. the week is re,igned to "provide all k. inds of information about the use and abuse of alcohol. .. "The purpose of Alcohol Awareness Week,.. continued Bohlander, "fs not to turn Wilkes into a dry campus, but simply to promote mCXErate, responsible drinking and freeoom of choice." Bohlanoor also noted that if students know the facts about alcohol, they C8tl make more rational decisions regarding its use. To Icicle off the week's activities, the State Police will minister breathaJizer tests on Sunday to selected students, who will then take a driving ablltty test on campus. Bohlander hopes that students will get Involved, have fun, and at the same time learn the effects of drinking on driving. Student organizations such as IRHC, the first Aid Team. and Student Government will also help with the activities. Each group will sponsor a different project in order to cover as many areas as po.~.ioie Student a:Jvernment will organize the breathaJizer testing. The first Aid Teem wm demonstrate emergency first aid treatment for severely intoxicated people. Role playing will be used as a method of illustrating the proper way to deal with drunk people in a social setting. Circle K IRHC will oversee a demonstration by Northeastern Bartenders School on the proper mixing of alcoholic as well as nonalcohollc beverages. Some other points , of interest will include a presentation by the county coroner on alcohol-related deaths, a discussion by area lawyers on the legal aspect of alcohol abuse, and a program on Student Poll Prompts Action A survey conducted by the Student Life Comm ittee last year 11rom ptedAlcor,ol Awareness week.

At this point, one wonders what the criter ia are for being honored by the MAC.

Grapplers Lose First Two Matches by Mark Sarisky The Wilkes College wrestlers IJ)t their introouction to the 1984-85 season when they dropped a 42-13 oocision to the wrestling old timers in the eighth annual Old Timers' Wrestling Meet and dropped a 27-12 decision to the Midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Acooemy. Head ~h John Reese explained that this was an excellent way to open up the year. "The meet provides a homecoming for the alumni and gives the varsity a chance to wrestle in front of a live crowd. We wrestle matches in practice, but there is no crowd. It also shows the younger wrestlers the importance of (}Xld technique. These fellows may be out of wrestling, but they still ck> certain things as well as they did when they were here." _ __ _Jay_._ J"!~innley, who wrestled for Wilkes from 1969 to 1973, proved that alumni never grow old as he wrestled twice during the evening. In the first bout of the ,evening, he outpointed Lance lny of the varsity 7-0. He also finished the night by beating freshman Dennis Mejias 6-2. Recent graduates Chris Rowlette and Billy Doo;ie also returned to give the varsity lightweights a workout. Rowlette nipped freshman 126pounder Brian Potier 3-2, and D()()Je battled Mark Gerbino to a 5-1 oocision. Andre Miller gave the varsity its first victory, a 12-5 superior oocision over Ron Porter, a 1977 graduate. · In the mi~leweights, 1978 co-captian Greg McLain returned to face sophomore Glenn Whiteman and left with a 1-1 draw.

Student 0overnment, in conjunction with National United Savings Associates and local merchants, is sponsoring a savings plan in the form of discount cards. Students may present the discount cards at participating Barre Hall Robbed by Brian Cohill r I> Barre Hall was robbed during the holiday break. The intruder(s) vandalized the building and stole approximately $500 worth of clothing and various personal items. Some students living in Barre believe that the intruder( s) entered the building by climbing the fire escape and crawling through an unlocked second-story winoow. Senior Tim Williams reported approx imately $460 worth of clothing and cassette tapes missing as well as his yearbook. He said,"The person who did this most likely had some knowleo;ie of Barre Hall and the people who live there." He continued, "The thief probably has some interest or connection with the College because they stole a Wilkes yearbook, among other things." The intruder( s) also kicked in various bedroom doors and vandalized the oorm 's television set. Housing Director Paul Adams said, "We've always known that the buildings are vul nerable during break period, and although we take many precautions, we urge students to remove their valuables during breaks." businesses and save anywhere from 1O percent to 50 percent on selected merchandise and services.

North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms wants to control CBS. Helms recently called upon fellow conservatives to band together and buy enough CBS stock to gain controlling interest in the network. The senator's group, Fairness in Media, received financial backing from the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC). Some conservatives feel that the network's "liberal bias" slants news coverage of political events and view•. Apparently, they have had . enough--and so have I. The moral right to control the airwaves belongs to no one political group, republican or otherwise. The use of network news programming to influence public opinion is both unethical and intolerable. . Professional news organizations strive to present both sides of everYt issue, and CBS is no exception. 1 A Helms-controlled CB~ undoubtedly would lack objectivity in its news pr~sentations. Helms would Iike the news portrayed as he feels it should be. Objectivitywouldbe lost through censorship. Maybe Fairness in Media would change the network's name to th.e Conservative Broadcasting System. The conservative trend in America isn't enough for this small band of conservatives. They want it al I. This type of political influence is not original. Political control of the mass media exists in other areas of the world--areas where alternate political ideas are prohibited. WCLH Station Manager Replies Dear Editor, In the last issue of the am;oo, there were two letters concerning WCLH, the school's radio station. Being the station manager, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to what was written about the station. I find it very amusing that two people, obviously in the minority, are making comments about WCLH without first checking their facts. If they had checked, they would have found · that WCLH does play "new" music and does have a varied format. As part of our regular format, each D.J. is required to play five new cuts per hour. The rest of the music that hour is determined by the individual D.J . Our specialized formats on a Sunday include classical, iazz and~. Yes polkes--1 do not know many college stations that play this type of ethnic music, but because WCLH is licensed to serve the people of Northeast Pennsylvania, we program that type of ethnic music. Mr. Delfino, who said he worked in commercial radio, should have realized that stations are to serve the entire community, not just the college campus where the station is located. WCLH is not archaic es Mr. Delfino says, but programmed in order to serve. We expose the people of this area to "new" music as well as their old WCLH Apologizes to Wilkes Listener To the.Editor: programming.

Finally, I invite Mr. Myers and Mr. Delfino, es well es any other full-time students, to stop up at the radio station and become a DJ. WCLH is open to all full-time Wilkes College students regardless of your · concentration of study: If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me es soon es possible.

As for the request that was not played, Mr. Myer failed to point out that he became very rude to the person who was on the air. One thing I tell all our D.J.'s: If someone is rude to you, you have every right to ignore their request. This is what the operator did and I have no complaints about their action. Mr. Delfino writes that WRKC, King's College~radio have their priests listen to all their records. I know Father Carten, the advisor to the King's station , and he told me he ~ listens to any of the records that come Into the station. This Is confirmed by the many WRKC D.J.'s who are friends of mine. I will always be proud to say that I am manager of WCLH and we have a fine staff and a oreat advisor, Dr. Kinney. We do more than just play music. We people how to be broadcasters. WCLH was recently honored by the Professional News Media of Northeast Penn&ylvania for outstanding work in college journalism. This was the third time in the last five years that WCLH was so honored. Numerous people have gone on to work in the media after being WCLH members, including myself who works for WILK radio and the three anchor members on local television. te!Eh If Mr. Delfino and Mr. Myers have so much to offer , I invite them to become members of WCLH. We are open to all majors and are always willing to train new people. Thank you very much . Sincerely yours, Thomas McGuire Station Manager 1t1}<e ll<tl<tf)Jt VOL.

They cannot intelligently discuss the merits of Mlrl:lnna or Prince, and they are not the least bit concerned about a date on Saturday night. These students are out of step with the ordered pattern of life that would suggest that education fits neatly into one·s life between the ages of 18 and 21. Ben Coo:iamoni , Beth Martin, and Maureen Tourjee are three such "non-troottional" students attempting to fill a void with an education at Wilkes COllege. Coo:iamoni, 53, is a retired Air Force Major and a junior marketing major at Wilkes. The former director of personnel, who enlisted in the Air Force at 17, commented, "I didn't have what I wanted in life. This experience satisfies a personal goal of mine and not a career goal. It fills a gap of boredom." Martin, 28, is the mother of three children, who enrolled at Wilkes for the fall semester because, she said, "It was something I have always wanted to oo." Her biooest challenge was balancing school work and family responsibilities. This j uooling forced Beth to schedule her ti me rigidly, and she confessed that many mornings she was up at 5 a.m. to attend to housework and then out the door by 8 a.m. Tourjee, 38. is vet another - . example. The mother of four and grandmother of two commented, "After raising four children and taking care of an invalid grandmother, this is exciting!" These three students are representative of the large ~~~~~~~.....~:G::~~~~~:::.=~~~:::f"~:i:-::-:~iC<2~ .. number of ooults participating in education today. Mr. John ( Meyers, director of the Evening, Summer, and Weekend College, estimates that one-fourth of the total enrollment at Wilkes is part-time EKiult students. The April 1984 edition of American Education reports that over 23 million ooults are enrolled In continuing education annually. The report states, "Their reasons for participation are diverse, but the greatest common denominator shared by those individuals is the link that ~~~;z;:;;:::~~~ ~~~~~ ..,, Aries ( March 21-April 19) Decent weekend ahead.

This article looks at the views of several foculty members ; previous articles presented comments from administrators and from members of the Board of Trustees. .,. by Elizabeth MazzuJlo Continuing the college-wide quest to redefine the "mission " of Wilkes , the mission task force , chaired by Dean Gerald Hartdagen , now meets Friday mornings at 7:45 to aid President Christopher Breiseth in preparing his m1ss10n statement. The task force has met twice this semester to discuss a draft which summarizes responses to each of the nine mission questions arnt "will begin writing sections of the m1ss1on statement," ~ rding to the pr esident. Defining what he sees as the aim of Wi _ lkes , Dr. Gary Dolny, assistant pr ofessor of engineering, said, "The purpose Dr. Oary Dolny, assistant professor of engi neering. of a college is pr imarily education. Education is mor e than just knowing focts. It teaches people to th ink rationally and communicate clearly." "The college , ideally, should ser ve a num ber of pur poses. The primary purpose is to educate the students. It should arts institution , but as an insti tut ion which is preparing students for a variety of careers in a traditional Iiber al ar ts setting." One of the current issues in higher education concerns thi s question of balance between the traditional liberal arts curr iculum and technical or pre-professional courses. "1 ·ve always argued that there should be a balance of the two , in the best interests not only of the students , but of the college as well," Dr. James Rodechko , chairman of the history/ political science department, said. Dr . Kenneth Klemow , assistant professor of biology, also favors a balance of both and suooested instituting liberal arts minors for students majoring in i technical fields. He exp lained , ---4 "Basical ly, what happens is that Dr. Stanley Gutin, professor stuoonts who train for a career of Eng11sh. · find getti ng a first job easy but - - - - - - - - - - - are stifled in their touch with the great mi nds and development...

Focusi ng on the type of students who attend Wi I kes to describe the college's purpose, Dr. Richard Sours, chairman of the mathematics/computer science department, said, "This is a local college , serv ing a local population. I can·t see us changing that thrust and r ecruiti ng from Southern Galifornia... TheooJre Engel, associate Ann Kolanowsk i, assistant professor of busi ness professor of nur sing. administration, stated, "I thi nk, in terms of what we are as an Dr. Stanley Kay , professor Institution, we can no longer look at ourselves as a liberal .if philosophy , emphasized the be a veh icle for resear ch, and it shou Id be a resource that the commun ity can draw upon , be it the physical resources , the talent of the foculty , or the talent of the students ," Dolny continued. Dr. Stanley Gut in , professor of English , said , "The pur pose of a college is to enr ich the student's life and mind . in a variety of ways. It puts him in "proctical value .. of the liberal arts, tx:kiing , "I think a person ought to (1) to college to get an education. It seems to me that an education prepares a person for what he'll oo in life , including a job." Dr . Richard Sour s, chairman of the mathematics oopartment. For Gutin , however, "there's no easy answer " to th is question of balance. "This college is a liberal arts institution , yet we recogn ize that many students ar e using it as a way to a j ob, and that in spite of al l the pub lic r hetor ic on the importance of the l iber al arts , students have a r eal pr oblem in making their way in a difficult world ," he said. Gutin continued , "What the college needs to oo is to recoJnize this need, offer technical, pre-professional programs, but at the same time continue to insist that whether the students know it or not , a broader liberal . arts education will be important to u·,em in their personal lives... In addition to considerina Wilkes' purpose and curriculum , foculty members discussed the benefits of Wi Ikes' character as a small college. "We cater to the individual ·student," Kolanowski said, citing sma 11 classes and a "mor~ intimate student/faculty relationship." Similarly, Kay said , "You have very close contoct with your foculty here. The smaller you are [ as a college], the more contact, control, and supervision r esu lts." Recognizi ng that there are r esponsibilities as well as benefits inherent in Wilkes' size, Rooechko stated, "I think personal contoct has to be maximized between students and faculty [ Wilkes provides] an educational opportunity that allows stuoonts direct contoct. Without it , we lose our significance as a small college." Along with the obligation to insur e contact between students and faculty , faculty members see responsibilities to the community wh ich Wilkes should cKtlress as ·part of its function as a college. These r esponsibilities include pr ov iding services, culture, and an intellectual environment and serving the comm unity by being a quality institution. "I think it has three major responsib i 1it ies- - teaching , r esearch, and service. Often there are problems of a scientific or ecological nature in the community. Wilkes should be thought of when there are pr oblems to be solved," Klemow said. The biology professor added , "The more that Wilkes can oo for the community, the better publicity and the more students we'll get. It's a symbiotic sort of r elationship," added Klemow. Both Sours and Gutin feel that Wil kes shou ld be a center for information and intellectual activity. Sours feels that Wilkes' responsibility is "to b( Dr. Stanley Kay, professor of philosophy. . -a - br_a_in- tr-u-st_a_n_d_a_t,_a.,...le-nttr-u~st that the local community can turn to." Similarly , Gut in noted , "The college should provide a focus of culture, and it should be understood to be a source of information and intellectual excitement for the community" According to Rodechko. "Wilkes would oo the best for the community if it were> ·· small college be ... He act· • I l �PAGE SEVEN Are Here "provide what the community needs , which is a quality small institution, and not necessar i ly what the community wants ," which, occording to the chairman, is "pol itical participation." "If you provide what the comm unity wants, you become a follower , not a leader ," Rodechko said. ~ Faculty members also offered comments and Dr.James Rodechko , chairman of the h1story/pol1t1cal Be Aware of Alcohol Because this is Alcona , Awareness Week , I felt like writing about alcohol.

Kolanowsk i pointed out that campus-wide concern with Wilkes' mission will in itself suggest quest ions about the college and its future direction.

"Since Big Brothers/Big Sisters ls a non-profit organization , we make money by planning different octivlties such as a hoagie sale , a Christmas dinner , a barbecue in the spring., a roller skating party , and the upcom ing talent show ," said Sabbak. The talent show is scheduled for Sunday, February 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the CPA. "We hope to.get all of the college involved, including the faculty as well as the students," commented Sabbak.

However, there are many youngsters here in Luzerne County who need guidance and a fr iend to confide in.

Vice President Belinda Housenbold, Treasurer Ellen McDermott , and Secretary Elissa Firnbach "have been so much help- - I couldn't have done it without them!" insisted Sabbak. "The only problem that the club runs into is that when a Big Brother/Big Sister is first matched up with a little brother or sister , interest is shown but the students gr ooually get discouraged when ·they aren't matched perfectly, because there are many types of kids with many different needs," said Sabbak. "Big Brothers/Big Sisters is an a11 - around 9'.xxl organization ," conclU<Ed _Sabbalc "This school needs more spirit and the whole Big Brother/Big Sister experience is really a fun thing.

President Christopher Breiseth also would not comment on the specifics , saying, "I will announce the details witlT Dr. Shaw in the near future." Students will be affected by the loss of Shaw as a political science professor. But Breiseth intends to hire a full-time politcal science staff member. "I will miss the students," said Shaw. Shaw's ooministrative duties will be apportioned to his staff for the remainder of the year , Breiseth said. □- Two Wilkes administrators, Dr. Andrew Shaw (left) and Richard Raspen, wi 11 leave their present posit ions to pursue new career opportunities.

XXXVI I. Wi Jkes CoJJege WiJkes-Barre. PA 18766 February 5, 1985 CC Changes Ifs Parking Policy by Kathy Hyde It may be easier for a commuter to fi nd a parking space on campus this semester. Then again , it may not be. "We thought it was time to experiment with the parlc.ing system ,.. said Commuter Council ( CC) president Brian P~oeski. According to Potoeski, CC received many complaints about the old system. Former ly, if a student qualified for a parking perm it , he was given access to one of 80 spaces available to commuter students. Cars parked in a commuter lot without a perm it were ticketed. Since commuters make up roughly half of the student population , 80 spaces were inadequate. "Last semester we had a lot of complaints from people·who didn't get permits," said Potoeski. "They would drive by the lots and see empty spaces but still couldn't park there... CC decided to run the system Ready, Set, Blow!! on a fi rst-come , first-par!< basis. This semester all students who app 1ied for permits got them. "Right now it's a free-for-all ," said Potoeski. "Initially, everyone thought it would be utter chaos, but so far it seems to be working pretty well ." Commuter spaces are available in three locations: the lot directly across from the gym where Gore Hall was located, the lot behind Bedford Hall, and the lot beside Pickering Hall, which is used jointly by Wilkes and Temple Israel. A limited number of permits were given out for the Bedford and Temple lots , and the remaining students were issued permits for the Gore lot. Approximately 157 permits were issued.. Senior Chris Sailus, who commutes from Wyoming, said Gore parking lot with three empty spaces at prime time. 'the new system has good and bad p01nts. "I t all depends on when you get here. If you're not here by 9: 15 or 9:30, you can just about forget it," Sailus said. The system is experimental for this semester. "We might keep it or we might try something totally new in the future," said Potoeski. "But right now , the lots are getting more use than they ever did,tmd that's a good sign." 1985 - 86 Scholarship Opportunities Available at Financial Aid Office The Financial Aid Office announces the followin0 scholarship opportunities for the 1985-86 academ ic year: Several students volunteered to take a breathalyzer test as part of a demonstration during Alcohol Awareness Week .

Students reminiscing about the weekend struggle to reca ll memorable experiences. They struggle because most didn't do anything memorable. Yes, a few saw the non-college product ion of Chapter~. and another for.ty went ski ing, but the majority opted for the t raditional college entertainer--a I coho 1. Ironically, the College planned events commemorating Al coho l Awareness Week without plann ing any weekend socia l activities. Students demonstrated their alcohol awareness -- by drink ing. They were aware that very little else on campus was avaifable to them. Students need weekend activities to rel ieve the pressure. Parties are the only recourse when too few weekend activities are planned. The responsibility tor pl anning all-college activiti es lies with various student organ izations. Unfortunately, full-t ime students simply do not have the time to continually plan activities. Consequently, the activiti es are not coordinated, which leaves us with boring weekends. The situation will not improve unless the College invests in a student activ i ties direclor. An activiti es director could better coordinate student act ivities. Careful activities planning is essential for improved student life. Wi lkes College not only needs a full-t ime activiti es director, but one from outside the College community. Hiring a Wil kes graduate would not improve the situation. We need a person with new ideas and a different perspective on student life. An effective activities director will find ways to alter student drinking, which is a growing problem at Wilkes. The College needs someone to implement more productive student activities, someone who can help provide alternatives to alcohol. I RESOLVE TO QUlT CHEATING ON EXISl\NG NUCLEI\R ARMS AGREEMENTS ... College newspapers usually take editorial swipes at conservatives rather than liberals, so the attitude shown in the editorial and cartoon in the January 29 .6.w:m is not surprising. You criticize Jesse Helms for encouraging conservatives to buy stock in CBS , stating your fear that such a "takeover " will put an end to "unbiased" reporti ng. May I remi nd you that anyone has a right to buy stock in any company if he can afford it? And si nce when is network prcx;iramm ing so unbiased? The network news never tires of telling us of the atrocities of the contras in Nicaragua. Why do they never mention torture of Christians in Sandanista pr isons? And there is more to TV than news.

Why are you not involved with WCLH or- the i1eac!;m? These are useful activities within your major . They are organizations that are always looking for interested students. In this day and age, students groouating college with a a:immunications degree , have a much easier time finding jobs if some practical experience is acquired at the campus radio station or newspaper. By working at either of these organizations, you get hands on Simmons Comments on Heln:,s, 'Morali~y Quiz' To the Editor : lF YOU OONT Sl"0P LAUGHING who blow up abortion clinics r aises an interesting point. Is there no terror ( or any morality) in the killing of millions of innocent human beings, merely for being unwanted?

These stuoonts come from China , Japan , Taiwan , Kor ea , South America , and Europe , to name a few places. One of these students is Peter Lam, a 19-year-old from Hong Kong.

He took the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) , came here , and tested for the equivalent of the American 12th grade level. He then went to Springfield College in Massachusetts for eight months ( the equivalent of two semesters) as preparation for college. He also took some co I lege courses and transferred the credits to Wilkes. Peter is currently a chemistry major. He pJans to stay for a seven-year program to get a oogree in oontistry.

He has a youn(J!r brother and sister , and, according to Peter , "They're not quite old enough to become involved and form opinions" about his stay in the United States. The cultures of the United States and Hong Kong , said Peter. are virtually the same. The main difference is in the food. In the United States, according to Peter, families eat more processed fast food, and in Hong Kong, families sit oown to meals of , for example , roast chickens , roast ducks , and cooked vegetab Jes. People in the United States are also more open with their feelings and actions, said Peter. "Citizens of Hong Kong are more conservative. Young ooults of Hong Kong are faced with strict curfews , and parents feel less lenient about marriage and dating than American parents do." Peter also commented that he thinks people are more likely to ~t divorces in the United States. Although marriage and dating are handled more conservatively in Hong Kong, attituoos toward drinking, according to Peter, greatly differ from the U.S. drinking laws. In Hong Kong, there is no .drinking age. Drinking is for all ages. "Hong Kong ~ not have as much crime as the United States ~ ... said Peter. "Not too many murders, just muooi ngs...

An investigation of Clemson University's athletic department has discovered coaches who are g1v mg athletes i llega I pr escription drugs. This incident, combined with similar inci dents nationwide, may help some reformers pass strict new r egulations of ~ollege athletes' behavior .

The Way They Walk ..... Have you ever stopped to notice just how an athlete walks? Yes , we have all heard them talk, but what about their walks? Ther e are football players , basketball players , and more , Some are interesting , and some are a bore. Soccer booters oo indeed have a strange pace- They never seem to look you in the face. Their shoulders always seem to be round Because they are always watching the ground. Take note of the next athletes you see And find out what category they are in or where they might be. Basketball players walk with a bounce or lope. Thei r walk makes them seem as if they were skiing oown a slope. Female athletes cannot escape Because their str ides also deserve a gape. Women basketball players seem to have a bounce That moves their every ounce . . Football players are quite a strange breed- Their walk has been ar ound for so long some think it's a creed. You'll know a football player the minute you see him- He's the one who looks as if he's trying to move a wall as he walks by a little grim . Field hockey women seem to be best- They walk as if they ar e bowing to a quest. I guess bending over a stick · can make.you not so quick. Softball players appear to walk with their heads helo n,qr As i f they were watch ing the ball with a careful eye They seem to have a stare , And believe me , it'.s nota glare. Athletes walk in many ways, So take a look one of these days, Andyou'll see what I mean , And maybe you ·11 think it's keen. Wrestlers have a unique walk, too. They walk as if they are ready to take you down and stick it to you Did you ever notice that a weight lifter's arms never touch his bcxty? But I'd never tell him that it looks gaudy. As for baseball players, what of those? . They look as if they are running on their toes You never see the heel of a catcher touch the ground; He has to be ready to leap and to bound. All you ath letes r emember , this is all meant in fun , Because I am also one. • • : Gymnasium and Weight •• • Room •• •p . ! •. . . • r1or to Sprmg Break· . • • 9:30pm. to midnight• :sundays: • Saturdays: I :00pm. to 6:00pm . ! :Fridays: 7:00pm . to 10:00pm .• .. .. • .. !EoilowiogSW:iIJg Break· •Sundays: 5:00pm. to 11 :00pm. • ,. •.Saturdays: 1:00pm . to 6:00pm . • •Fridays: 7:00pm . to I 0:O0pm. : •,.Mondays: 9:00pm. to 11 :30pm. • :Wednesdays 9:00pm. to 11:30 : .• Weckesser Weight Room .•.

The Wilkes Colonels are h~ing into the_ biggest week of their season with a half-~me 1~, over cross-town rival _Kings College. Wilkes plays host to Drew University and the Royals of Scranton University this week . If the Colon_ els can win both ~mes , their MAC playoff position will be assured "The last time the· Colonels and Royals met, -we beat ourselves," cooch Bart Bellairs said. "This time we are q3ing to do things differently. We're gJing to have a different setup , and that just might be the key," Bel lairs added. · Sophomore Eric Jacobs is currently Wilkes' leooing scorer and is expected to help leoo the Colonels' attack. "Ken Yakobitis and Eric Jacobs have been playing great ball , and that's gJing to be a big plus for us," Bellairs said. Sophomore Tony Troyan started his match out strong almost pinning his Bucknell opponent. Troyan later lost his bout by being pinned. The Colonels are looking for revenge for their earlier loss to Scranton, but Bellairs says it will take a total team effort to win and to capture the title. End 11 Game Streak "We're very young, we want it badly, and we are trying to make our presence known. If we can get some consistency, we can win," Bellairs said. Colonel Grapplers Beat Bucknell 26-15 and Split Tri-mee t The Royals need the win to stay close in the runni ng for the division title. But with fan support, the players and cooches think the Colonels can win. "Student support helps immensely. If we get a big crowd there, it will help us a lot. The Wilkes spirit has reached further than just the students. The faculty and administration support has also been great. That support will help us win," Bellairs said. The Colonels and Royals will meet tomorrow at 8:00 p.m .

According to Barbara King, -foreign student adviser , the Malaysian government spent a great deal of time investigating schools with exceilent engineering credentials before deciding that Wilkes met all the criteria. The size of the school was important in the decision to choose Wilkes because the Malaysian officials wanted the students to have cecess to faculty and counselors. They were "very impressed" with the Engineering Department, with its faculty and with its curriculum . A major point in the selection was the fact that the engineering program is accredited by the American Board of Engineering and Technology. All educational expenses incurred by the new students will be paid by the Malaysian government. Malaysia covers the southern half of the Malysian Peninsula, the island of Singapore and most of the northern part of the island of Borneo. The South China Sea separates the island and the peninsula by 400 miles. King also said that Wilkes has students from several other countries, including Switzer land, Japan, Lebanon, Taiwan, India, Syria, Pakistan and Jordan. �PAGE 1WO Editorial Reaganomics Hits an All-Time Low The hi gh priest looks in awe at the symbol of hi s god. Worshippers file in anticipating a humbling ceremony celebrating their creator. They worship the governor of life. They worship what made them what they are--masked, mutant, descendants of the human race. They worship the BOMB. The scene is from a "Planet of the Apes" movie, but the characters could be in our future. Ronald Reagan, America's favorite actor, could play the part of the priest. The other survivors, . who happen to be nis closest friends and advisers before Armageddon, join him in bomb worship. Those who live by the bomb sha11 eventually die by the bomb. There is no compromise. The vision motivating Reagan's new budget proposal lacks depth and breadth. The President, erroneously believing he has a mandate, wants to cut domestic programs drastica11y and increase defense spending. As Sunday·s Philadelphia loguirer put it: "The President proposes to starve programs that help people in order to fatten programs that ki11 people." The problem is more serious yet. Adding to a stockpile that can already destroy the world a hundred times over is not only redundant, but expensive. To foot the bi11, Reagan plans to cut student loan programs, Urban Development Action Grants, the f edera1 job training program, and f edera1 aid to state and 1oca1 governments.

Now he stabs us (you) in the back. As many as one mi11ion students may be affected by the loan cuts. Many students here need loans to pay for co11ege. Those students not able to afford Wilkes next year can thank Reagan. Reagan is selling out the people who supported h1m in November--in the name of deficit reduction. A Reagan deficit reduction we will never see, just more bombs. If we cannot reverse Reagan's direction, the future looks bleak.

We consider The Cellar to be a place for commuter students to relax--they have virtually no other place to go. To this effect, the SCB diligently tries to keep The Cellar reasonably clean and civilized , but the 'Spitters' make civilization for The Cellar an impossiblity. One might ask why? First of all , they amuse themselves by drawing huge phallic symbols on the tables. They are apparently oblivious to the fact that" women often clean the tables. The drawings happen to be difficult to remove when drawn in ink. Secondly, the Spitters never know when or how things get vandalized, yet the area where they congregate is usually the most abused. For instance, french fries get carefully stuffed Cellar workers are fed up with messes such as the one above. in the rooiator vents and ketchup splattered on the walls, chairs, tables, and floor. Not to mention more ser ious vandalism . Thirdly, their most annoying pastime and the source of their nickname is chewing/spitting tobacco ( snuff). This means that each one carries a cup or can filled with saliva and tobacco juice. We know this because these cups are daily left sitting around or Disorganized To the Editor: Wednesday night I hoo the pleasure (or shall I say displeasure) of attending the first night of "intramural" basketba 11 . spilled on the tables and floor--left for us to clean up in acxlition to their less revolting trash. This is not to mention the spit sometimes dripping from the walls. We will not describe the nausea these sights and smells induce. One might also ask if we've communicated with them in the past concerning these issues? Our initial response was making signs saying, "Please keep The lntramurals on intramural teams!!! What upset me the most was the organization!! The games were scheduled to start at I 0:00 p.m., no one even showed to set things up until 10:30 and the games did not start until 11 :00!! To begin with I thought The referees had no whistles intramural sports were for or any kind of time keeping people who were not on a equipment, and one of them scholastic team. That night I saw actually asked me ( a spectator) J.V. basketball team members as to keep score! ! well as part-time students and even graduates actually pleying No one even knew about the Cavern (Cellar) clean." Then we got more specific: "If you spit, please clean it up!" Their response was spitting on the signs. Secondly, we tried asking them to clean up the mess themselves ( This was before they used cups--they spit directly on· the floor). Their response was throwing a mop at the member who ventured to ask. Thirdly, we he(! Dean Hoover ( our ooviser) "speak" to them - - to no avai 1. And finally, last semester, our director ( Cress) · wrote them a nice 1etter- - no response. But one might ask, what's the big deal? First, we are full-time students committed to being involved on the campus; we run the entire Student Center by ourselves, making video games, pool, ping por:ig, music, wiclescreen television, movies, and so on: avail ab le to students. In order to make the bttsement a more pleasant place to relax, we devoted an entire weekend ( 18 hour days) and over $1,500 to painting The Cellar. Furthermore, we hired an alumnus, Donna Mazaika, to oo graphic designs in oo:lition to our paint job. Finally, we clean many times a day in order to keep The Cellar tolerable if not pleasant. So when our friends the Spitters spit on the walls we painted, and the tables we wash, we think we have cause to be annoyed. Let the Spitters be forewarned that the SCB Cellar Rats won't tolerate their behavior any longer--they will be removed for the remainder of the semester if it persists.

I inquired how many times 6 car must be ticketed before it can be towed, and he responded by saying he wasn't sure, he didn't know the system any more. Wonderful, I must suffer for his lack of knowleo;ie. I think it is time Wilkes establishes a parking policy and sticks to it. My first suooestion would be to put gates on the lots.

Just as I was beginning to give up most of my faith in people's !J100 natures, a unique collection of individuals stepped into my life in the form of an internship.

I chose anewspapercalled the S.!HlCiri Dispatch (True, it's not mentioned in the same... breath with the New Yock .linlei) Or , I should Sf!t./ , I think someone up there chose the Dispatch for me.

I owe a lot of the restoration of my faith to E~ie Ackerman, who, t1:COrding to my friends Kathy Hyde, Timmy Williams, myself and probably everyone whom Ed has come in contoct with, is "the most genuinely nice person whom you could ever pray to meet." I've known Ed for about a year. I had the pleasure to be around for his debut as a teocher here at Wilkes. He was great, but he'Jl be the first to disagree.

If not for a Monday off on Washington's birthday, how about for Valentine's Day? Ah ... Valentine's Oft./. The day we traditionally send our sweethearts or intended sweethearts candy, flowers and love notes. It's a day most of us welcome, yet a day few of us know much about. The origin of Valentine's Day dates back to the 13th century. It is named for St. Valentine, an early Christian martyr regarded . as the patron saint of lovers. St. Valentine was behe&'.ted because he loved a gir 1 who was the daughter of a bigot and refused to CEnounce his love for her. There are several theories as to how the romanticism of Valentine's Day began. One of these theories relates the choice of February 14 to the medieval European belief that birds begin to mate on this date. This notion suggested that lovers shou Id exchange gifts on the 14th. Once the custom was established, "Valentine" came to be applied to both the persons and their tokens of affection. The religious significance of this day is now overshaoowed by the non-religious customs associated with it. These customs seem to suit our needs perfectly. "Valenttne·s 0&1 1s another example of popular society twisting the real meaning behind a legitimate holiday to satisfy its own .immature and materialistic whims," one anonymous senior said Va1ent·me·s ~ Day however. allow people to IA}t;;)• express deep and sincere feelings toward others without being regarded as hopeless romantics. "Valentine's Oflo/ is a day when you should extend yourself that much further to let friends and loved ones know how much you care," senior Eric Reno said.

It is an ooor to which some freshmen will become accustomed. Allt1uugt1 you try to esq:ipe from the smell, curiosity causes you to glance quickly into the labs as you pass by.

The ooor is that of tissue preservative, and the students are freshmen biology majors who are dissecting fetal pigs as part of their laboratory exercises. Dissections are an essential part of a biolo;iy major's education. Since biology is considered to be the stuct{ of life, it is only fitting that students stuct{ animals to get a better by Robert J. Boyle It wouldn't be true to S8Y that all the scientific research and experimentation involving living creatures is without worth, but it can be said that a great deal of it is nothing more than the senseless and unethical wasting of precious animal lives. Critics of the latter statement are quick to point out that tremendous medical knowledge and improved lifesaving techniques have been derived from these experiments, and I agree. But this is not where I see the injustice. Other topics discussed may include the bOctf's response to varying external factors of the effects of disease. Occasionally, an animal is socrificed in order to demonstrate a principle that cannot be seen in a preserved specimen. In all cases, the procedure is oone humanely so that the animal ooes not suffer unnecessarily. Seeing the actual Opinion Con unproductive experiments as having a purpose. After a 20-minute interview with a respected member of the Wilkes College biology department, I came away with three reasons for this type of experimentation. First, the professor explained, "It is important the student understand thot by direct experimentation he can be positively sure his results are "In fact, the student could certainly learn more from examining a living frog.than from ending Its life." What I question is the use of laboratory animals in basic and introductory science courses. I believe this is unnecessary torture and slaughter and should be stopped. However, it would appear that the academic community disagrees with this tmeSSment end recognizes these factual. " Second, the professor stated, "The use of laboretory animals becomes necessary because there are no alternative methods to illustrate various biological laws." Third, he felt that these experiments make ' science instructing students. Processes that are necessary for even a basic understending of the healthy functioning of an or-ganism often cannot be demonstrated in specimens such as plants or bacteria. Plants are also living organisms but no one seems to be in a hurry to organize an S.P.C.P. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants). Granted, plants do not have as well-developed nervous systems as vertebrates do, but ,..-- should the animal be before it should not be used for educational purposes? Obviously, for a freshman lab , humans are too far along the phylO]enetic scale, but the fetal pig is adequate for a demonstration of mammal ian systems. As the freshmen biology majors work to learn as much as they can about the animal in front of them, they begin to ignore the smell of preservative. The connections between the the health sciences will benefit "Occasionally an animal is sacrificed in from labs dealing with animals.

How highly developed learning experience. 1 courses more interesting and intellectually stimulating. The first point, which if!!plies that a student can only learn through direct experimentation, is simply a matter of opinion. I cannot see why a biology instructor teaching an introductory science course could not ask the students to accept the results of experiments conducted many times before. After all, what is at stake here is the life of a living creature. These introductory college courses are usually taken to fulfill the core requirement for graduation. Students taking these courses will probably not pursue science as a major course of stuct{. If they do, perhaps it might be a (_Jxxj idea to restrain from slaughtering defenseless ,animals until the student decides to take more advanced courses and pursue biology or medicine as a career.

Well, we finally 9'.)t what we·ve been praying, pl1lading and waiting for--snow. (Some of you might have been dreading it.) The skier s, as well as the ski resort and ski shop owners, are in seventh heaven. The winter season is finally in full gear , and I am one person who 1s 9'.)ing to enjoy it to the fullest. Right about now is when everyone (well, SI most everyone) notices that he has put on five or 1O pounds. Whether it came from eating too many Christmas cookies , as it did for someone I know , or just from too much lying around the house , we all can pinch that little inch. As last week's editorial pointed out , Wilkes has no activities director , so it's up to us to plan activities to lose those extra pounds. So what's the solution to getting r id of that little inch? How about an after noon of oownhill skiing or an evening of twilight sk iing? You may say , "I oon't know how to ski" or "I oon't like to ski." Well, how about taking a lesson? Lessons are alreMy included in most of the SCB ski trips to Elk Mountain as well as in Mrs. Meyers' P.E. ski class on Thursday afternoons. Or maybe you'd prefer to try cross-country skiing. Kirby Park Is a perfect place. Okay, so skiing isn't your bag. What about traying? You know, that nice little life-endangering sport. This sport ooesn·t cost you anything but a little pain. You simply find yourself a tray ( BORROW one from th~ cafe, but remember what the word BORROW means) and a snowy river dike and bombs away, literally. Traying can be great fun as long as you oon't mind the soreness you have the next morning. If you oo mind, what about ice skating? You can rent skates and skate at the Wil kes-Bar re lce-Arama. If you have your own skates and if the pond in Kirby Park is frozen , you're all set. How about playing football in the snow or snow frisbee football , having a snowball fight to the death or joining a Winter · Weekend team and working off those pounds in one weekend of tor tur e? If you oon't like the cold , you can still enjoy winter and work off those extra pounds. Intramural floor hockey, basketball and volleyball are all ~ideas. So you oon't feel like physical exercise. Well, there is hope for you. You are actually burning calories right now reading the Reacon. Maybe you went to the Valent1ne·s Dance. Well, you burned up some of those unwanted calories dancing. If you went to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Talent Show, you not only supported a great organization , you also clapped your way to better health . Don't let winter slip by without trying some activity. It isn't healthy for us to keep those extra pounds. Healthy, hel 1. Just think how much complaini ng you are 9'.)ing to oo when shorts weather rolls around. I can hear you saying, "I wish it were winter so I could wear pants; then no one would see my fat thighs and huge hips." I'll bet you S8f it some time this semester. I wili ! -. Do Schools With Winning Teams Actually Have Sports in Brief February 12 , Increased Enrollment? ·- (CPS)- - Winning ath letic teams ar e twice as likely to attract high school students to a college as deter them, but most students say winning teams are not a factor in choosing colleges , a recent survey suggests. Fifty-four percent of college-bound high school seniors interviewed by the Jan Krukowski Associates marketing firm said that 1f all other facotrs were equal, a school's emphasis on supporting nationally-ranked athletic teams would have no bearing on students' college choice. But among those who cared, 32 percent said they would be more likely to enroll at such a school, while 13 percent were less likely. The survey suggests that academically prestigious schools who hope sports success· will attract a pool of brighter applicants are engaging in wishful thinking. Survey director Leslie Weber found the higher a student's score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the less likely a winning team would be an attraction to the student. About 58 percent of those with SA.T scores higher than 650 said winning teams are not a factor for them . Parents are the least likely to be impressed by athletic success. About 63 percent said it makes no difference. W.

According to Cress Shallers, Student Center Board ( SCB) director, vandals tore ctlwn the entire drop ceiling in the men's room. Both overheEKi lights were also destrayed, encl the toilets were clogged with P8PBr towels. "There has been some form of violent destruction at · every Student center party we've had," said Shallers. Beth Cortez, SCB member, was angered by Friday night's events. "People complain that there are no parties on this campus, but when someone does put the time and effort into a SUB party - - and it is a lot of work - some of these people act like a bunch of drunken animals end we have to clean up after them. I hope we never have another one." Other members of the board agreee 'It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood . .. ' Seniors Steve Gambali .

"On Tuesdf!y I will inform the Student Affairs Council that we don't plan to allow any more parties this semester. An official vote will be t8ken at the Student Center Board meeting on Thursday," said Shallers. Vandalism has occurred in the men's room at several other Student Center parties this year, said Sh8llers. As a result, the security team had been instructoo to check the men's room periodically. Karen Cassicty,, social director of the SCB, noted several problems with the security team.

Nop says his country, which is primarily an agricultural country, "is very beautiful." BeaRJse the climDte is tropical, fruit is abundant throughout the year. There ere only three S88SOOS in Thailand. Summers are usually quite wtrm, with the average temperature usually between 80 and 90 der,J'ees. The summers m-e less humid than summers on the East Coast. There is also a ratny season that J. D D is essential for the procllction of the rice crop. Finally, there is "winter," 'during which temperatures range from 60 to 75 degrees. Nop found out about Wilkes Collage through an organization in Thailand which Hsts all American colleges and universities. Nop was originally an 81Ticultura1 economics major at Kasetsart University in Thailand, but he wanted to tr811Sfer to the business school at Kasetsart. He spent three months at the American L8ngtJ8ge Aar:lemy impr<Wing his English and ame to Wilkes when he was 8:CePted. One reeson for Nop's choice of Wilkes was that Wilkes is DD relatively close to Washington, D.C., where his cousin is stoo,,ing for her master's degree in computer science. Nop's mother and father left the decision up to him. His 16-yeer-old brother "thinks it's gre6t" and wants to follow in Nop's footsteps. According to Nop, Thet families are closer than American fami1ias, and it's not unu3t.Hll for many generations of the same family to live in the same area. Nop said he felt "sorry for the older people here at ftrsr because they were all alone, but he realizes that it is just another aspect of our culture that he will eventually get used to. Nop also feels that Americans are independent people and are "less friendly and less compassionate than people in Thailand." For example, Americans believe strongly in their rights. . If Americans were to quarrel, they would feel strongly about their position and wouldn't are about the other person's feelings as much. In Thailand, people would be more understanding and forgiving. Nop feels a Thal obligation to ignore his rights and to be nice to people in a similar situation. It is tMs mpect of Trnii culture ttm giv~ Thailand the nickname "the land of smiles." Deting fn Theiland is much the same as in the United States. Customs allow yoong people more time to get to know one another before they get marrim. At that point, the boy's parents must ask the girl's parents. The drinking age in Thailand ls 19. A1th0lql Americans are not allowed into clubs without I.D., young citizens of Thailand are a11owed in but cannot buy alcohol. Nop also noticed that there ere a lot more warnings about drinking and driving in the United States. The traveling Nop has mne during his eight months here wm always stick in his mind. So far he has seen Washington, D.C., Niagra Fans, Buffalo, N.Y. and New York City.

It is also a wen-J)ll:Sd, suspensefu1 detective story, a touching romance, and one of the most enterteini and exciti films r; I've ever seen. The film's combination of genres is more interestlnQ because of the clash between the 20th century lifestyle and the strict, plain Amish W8Y of life. A young wioowm Amish woman, Rfdlel Lapp (Kelly McOntis) and her young son Samuel ( Lukas Haas) take an infrequent trip to the city. Samuel accfclently witnesses a brutal murder in the restroom of a Phi1Ellelphiatrain station. Detective John Book ( Harrison Ford) is then called in to investigate the murder. uel discover their lives are in danger as they suspect that someone in the police force is responsible for the crug-related killtng. As Book tries to protect the lives of the Amish ha,, and mother, he is crawn into the Amish Wfll/ of life and grDlally fans in love w1th Rachel. The conflict of cultures is an inevitable obsts:le in the romance between the tough, sometimes violent, city-bred cop and the gentle, ~ loving Amish wioow.

Wilkes-Barre. PA 18766 1985 Reagan 's Proposed Budget Cuts What ·They by Cress Shallers Presioont Reagan's proposed buOJ9t for t 986 tncluoos a $2.3 b1111on rrouct1on In feooral student aid. If these proposals become l8W, the Impact on Wilkes College and Wilkes stuoonts will be great. The proposals would affect the following programs: PELL GRANTS - No student whose family income is greater than $25,000 would qualify. Currently, 775 Wilkes stuoonts receive Pell grants. Unoor this proposal, 85 would become inellglble. CAMPUS-BASED AID ( Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Stuoont Loans and College Work Stuct{) No student whose family income is equal to or greater than $25,000 would qualify. Currently, 780 Wilkes students receive aid from at least one of these programs. Two hundred and forty-seven students would no longer be eligible under the proposed changes. GUARANTEED STUDENT Will · Mean LOt\NS - The proposed bu(tJet would impose a financial needs test for all app11cants. Currently, only fam11tes whose income exceeds $30,000 must unoor!J) a needs test. In f011tlon, stuoonts whose family income Is eQual to or In excess of $32,500 would become ineligible, regardless of financial need. Currently, 1,156 Wilkes stuoonts benefit from the GSL program. Three hundred and eighty-five would be ellmtnated by the arbitrary income ceiling. TOTAL FEDERAL AID - A $4,000 cap on total federal aid has also been proposed. This Inch.Ides aid from 0Sl., Pell Grant, SEOO, NDSL ond College Work Stucty, Programs. Currently, 1,463 Wilkes students receive federal aid from at least one of the above prcq-ams. Of these, 484 receive more than $4,000 and would have their aid packages cut. "One of the more unfair things about the aid cuts is the arbitrary gross income ce111ng," said Rachael Lohman, director of ff nancial aid. "The family living on $32,500 is eliminated from the GSL eligib111ty regardless of family size. Ten people could be living offthat income," she said. "These cuts are scary," she continued, "but we can oo something. In 1981 similar buOJ9t cuts were proposed, and, for the most part, they were defeated. The next two or three weeks are critical because the House and Senate BuOJ9t commtttees are rece1V1ng the proposals." Lohman encourWJ05 students, parents and friends to write or call their congressmen and senators. "lndividuol and handwritten letters will probably get more attention than form letters," said Lohman. "The congressmen want to hear about your situation and the specific effects the cuts will have on you and your ram 11y." President Breiseth said, I oon't think these cuts wm ~ through; we wm end up with modest cuts that are close to a freeze of the existing aid situation." Shelly Urben, SG president, continued on p. 10 King's Cracks Down on Alcohol by Brian Potoesk.1 KINO'S COLLEGE- -A stricter alcohol policy is in the making at K1ng's College. The pollcy, 1n the words of Stuoont Government Chairman Greg Fernald, "will force a major .change In the social 11fe on campus." The proposed new pollcy came from the office of the Dean of Student Affairs. It is currently in the form of a working draft that is making the rounds among numerous boards and committees who wm have Input Into the final version. The poltcy is primarily aimed at prohibiting stuoonts under the legal age of 21 from consuming alcoho11c beverWJ05. "We never conoone violation of the law," Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Joe Cosgrove said. "If you are under 21 and drinking we wm enforce It as a violation of our policy." The poltcy wm also ban alcoholic beverWJ05 from being present at social functions on campus. This will have an Impact on campus socials. Socials are similar to Wilkes' SUB parties, except they are sponsored by the senior class or by the Student Government and are held 1n the oorms. Anywhere from 50 to 200 people attend. Presently. guests are allowed to Wilkes Students to bring either a six-pack of beer or a quart of wine to a social. After the new policy takes effect, this will no longer be permitted. The use of alcohollc beverages by students of legal age wm be allowed, but only in student rooms. The concept of a "student room;· is externB:I to include the student's oorm room and the oorm lounges. Joe McMonigle, .Freshman Class president at King's, WfJS concerned about the local press' handling of the story. "I was upset when the news media came out and said Student Government enoorses the new policy.

Graph by Mark Radabaugh Student Activities Director Proposed by President by Cress Shallers If Student 0overnment approves President Breiseth's proposal. Wilkes College wm have a full-time Stuoont Activities Director next year. According to Shelly Urbon, SG president, "We need a 11ttle more time to discuss the proposal, but we will definitely take the steps necessary to get an activ1t1es director. "The proposal 1s bfJS8d upon a suggested $13,000 salary which wm possibly lncluoo room and board," said Urban. S6 would be responsible for funding the salary for the first year. The money would come from the annually accumulated buffer fund. Last Monday night, Breiseth assured the members of so that the general college fund would finance the pos1t1on after the first year. "To put in a new position, you must take out an old one, and I'm reluctant to oo that. It's easier to · maintain a position than to start one," Breiseth said. Urban said that the new d1rector would work exclus1vely with student 181dtrs and be concerned mainly with student ~t1v1t1es. "Although the spec1fic job description hfJS not been written , students wm be involved in the entire hiring process," said Urban. Breiseth said that the college wm "be looking inside and outside to hire, but with the lower salary level,· it probably should be somoone new, someone young." Urban agreed. "We're looking for someone who 1s not too far out of college- approximately 25 years old," she said. Although the presioont completely supports the idea of getting a student activities director , he expressed some concern about student attitudes. 'Tm totally unsympathetic to the word 'boreoom'. With all the intelligent, excit1ng people on th1s campus it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid boreoom," he said. �PAGE TWO Editorial party with beer after they someone Sf}{ing in the paper that Security Responds alreEKty paid. This was oone. security did not oo their jobs. To the editor: Beacon Proposes Alcohol Solution We may have a solution to the campus alcohol problem. Our proposal may satisfy students, faculty, and administrators. An alteration of the present alcohol policy wrn not work. Further restrictions will cause students to protest for what they once had, and memories of the way it used to be will die hard. Conversely, Pennsylvania law prevents any liberalization of the policy. The College feels pressure from Pennsylvania law enforcement officials. So, what do we do? We must look for new ideas. New ideas can be found by looking at other colleges. Colleges handle alcohol differently. King's, for example, wants to disallow on-campus alcohol privileges to under-aged students. But we feel the Universi t y of Scranton is taking an even more positive approach to the problem. Scranton's approach involves an on-campus pub. The University has applied for a retail liquor license to open what they call an "on-campus private club." Only alumni, faculty, administrators, and students of legal age may apply for club membership. We think this a viable solution to our problem as well. The College already owns an ideal location for a pub. The Cellar is equipped with an appropriate tap system which has not been used since the LCB warned the College several years ago that its use would blatantly disregard Pennsylvania law. What we propose is well within the laws of this state. Membership and threat of revocation would ensure respect both for the law and for the facility. Revenue generated would help maintain the Student Center and, depending on profits, provide money for improvements. We realize a pub would exclude many Wilkes students, but we can no longer expect the school to take responsibility for illegal, underage drinking. An on-campus pub would not only enhance social life but would also provi de a safe, legal atmosphere for st udents to interact with other members of the College community. While i t is unreasonable t o expect the College to assume li abili ty f or ill egal, on-campus acti vity, it is reasonable to expect support f or alternat ive proposal s such as t his one. We write this letter in response to an article in the February 26th issue of the .B.fBm concerning the Student C'alter Board ( SCB) party of February 22, 1985. In that article the Social Director of the SCB stated that "there were five security guards on duty that night and none of them SflN or heard anything in the men·s room ." First of all, there is only one security guard stationed in front • of the bathroom area, so it takes common sense to realize that the security guard working neer the i:Blce floor will not see or hear anything coming from the men·s room. Secondly, there were approximately 40 people hanging around outside the bathroom area. Again, it only takes a little common sense to realize that the security guard outside the bathrooms will be concerned with these 40 people, and that the noise generated by these 40 people is more than enough to drown out any noise coming from behind the closed ooors of a bathroom. Sure, the security guard must check the bathroom periodically. This was done numerous times throughout the night. Unfortunately, the damage to the bathroom took place between bathroom checks by a security guard. We wish could be f!Nerywhere at once like some people want, but unfortuMtely we cannot. Also, the number of people attending the party -was 450 people. With five security guards that means that eoch guard must watch 90 people, many of them drunk. It is not our f8Ult that there is not a limit on the number of people allowed to enter the SUB. The Social Director went on to Sf}{: "People were walking outside with beer, which is against our policy." Well, if it is against policy then why were SCB members walking around outside with beer? Security did their jobs and told these people to either go inside and drink , or le6Ve. If SCB members break the rules , then you can be sure that others will break the rules. Also , it is secur ity's job to stop people from entering the However , an SCB member waved some of her friends past security, Sf}{ing it .was OK. There was another incident last semester when people entered a SUB party through the basement cmr, which is against SCB policies. When a security guard stopped them, an SCB member approoched him and told him to let them go by. It seems to us that we need consistency in the actions and words of some SCB members. Maybe that is where the cause of the problem lies. Fina11y, we would like to tdiress the fights at the recent SCB party. The article made it seem like . security did nothing. We11, we have news for the contributors .to that article. Security members exposed themselves to possible physical harm and verbal abuse in breaking up the fights, and for what? No thank-you's, just Thls is what makes our jobs so frustrating. Yes, security does oo their job. The five security guards working the night of February 22 , 1985 should be commended for having the courage to stand up to a huge crowd. It is just too bad that some people are blind to our actions and put the blame solely on the security team.

Sure, there are f~ulty members with impressive intramural titles, but m:cording to Jeff Weinstein; "They don't really have a grip on the situation." Why is it so difficult to use the gym of the Institution I am attending? Why does the YMCA s~ly have priority of the gym on Sundays? What happened to the Intramural pr[XJram on Sundays? As Jeff Weinstein put it, "I can't get a straight answer from anyone." Weinstein was told In December that after break he would have the gym on Sundays from one to ftve and Tuesdays from nine to 12 In order to run the intramural floor hockey . league. Obviously, Jeff should have (J)tten this in writing, because this agreement by mouth seems to have slipped someone's mind. When the students returned from Christmas oreaK, ~hes ( wrestling and softball) decided that Sunday was an excellent time to hold and schedllle pr~tices. For two of the three weeks that the students were 1>8::k and the league was in m:tton, the gym was occupied at 1:00 by intercollegiate teams. One .team even contined to prm:Uce until 3:00. Guilty of this offense is our own athletic director, who happens to be the c:om:h of the wrestling team. Should our intramural director step in at this point? I meon, wh8t intramural student is ~ing to ask a wrestler to clear the floor? As 1f that weren't enough, Weinstein was then asked to have his floor hockey games completed by 6:00 so the softball team could begin its prm:t1ce. Finally, after unnecessary effort by commissioner Weinstein, prm:tlces were "officially forbidden." You would think that the most successful intramural event could get bm:k on schedule. Wrong! It seems we owe the YMCA a favor. Weinstein has once again been told he must ~r1flce his Sundays and bow to the YMCA wrestl1ng meets. It seems that the YMCA needed a few days to run a YMCA sponsored pee-wee wrestl1ng tournament. Why must this be done on theweekend? Doesanyoneknow the- term "spring break?" According to one of the Deans, "It seems that a few years 8'J> the YMCA helped out Wilkes College, and now they need a favor in return." sounds to me like the famous political expression, "If you scratch my bm:k, I'll scratch yours." In any event, whether the tournament is on Saturd6y or Sundfl'/, valuable gym time is being given f1Ntl,/, thus hurting both the tuition pfl,/lng students and the intramural leagues. The hockey league is alreooy, two d6ys behind schedule. Which means that. if everything goes ll:eording to·pIan (?), the league won't end until April 30. Would you want to have a hockey game at 11 :00 only two d6ys before classes end and exams begin? Where is the Intramural help? Who wants to step in and take control of this mess? I think my point is coming ~ross so I won't even mention. all the problems with the taping of slicks, wooden sticks in particular, because the sticks ruin the floor. Ironically, the gym floor is scheduled to be oompletely redone this summer. Where is the lCXJ1c? Wtr./ · can't the intramural director work with Jeff Weinstein Instead of giving him one dead end after onother. It seems people are looking the other Wfl'/. Jeff can't shout much louder. "Floor hockey is, by far, the most successful 1ntr81Tlural sport Wilkes College has to offer" Stl{S intramural director Bart Bellalrs. Just think what this 186glle could become with a little help from the oom1n1strat1on and the intramural director, and a lot less red t8J)8. Mtl,/be there could be some sincerity in Bellnirs' quote. · Mark Tobino SG Vice-President Calls for Solution To the editor: I am writing to you in response to the editoral published in the -6..ewm of Feb. 26th. The facts are plain and simple and you have stated them very clearly. 1.nstances like vandalism to the Student Center and drunken brftNls are very serious problems. You have come across very strong on these issues and r ightfully so; what I wish to point out is you oo not offer any solutions. It is e.asy to admit the problem and it would even be easier to make Wilkes dry , but that is not the Wfl'/ to solve a problem . We must look for a solution we can live and learn by. We know the problem so let's look for a solution that will benefit the whole campus. The alcohol policy was changed in the hope of solving the alcohol . related problems and I'm sure it has to an extent , but let's look at the problem directly. The problem is not in the existing policy, it is the individual dri nkers that cause the problems. There are many responsible drinkers on campus and it is only about 101 of the college that can't handle it. I must point nor does it solve the problem. out that all people can make It only hurts the innocent mistak(!S under the influence of majority and sends the problem alcohol, it is ~ to have your elsewhere. judgement altered. · Mfl'/be Security was l~king I know this for a f~t in enthusiasm due to the lm:k of a because I myself have made Pfl'/ but it was drunk students mistakes under the influence, who caused the damage not the mistakes I would never make Student Center Security. again because I have learned the It is about time we look for effects of alcohol and have real solutions for the drinking learned some very costly problem on cam pus before our lessons, not to mention the privileges are totally taken embarassment that comes with f1Ntl{. il . The point is , pinpoint the problem drinkers and tem:h them the proper and mature Wf!'{ to handle alcohol. We have h€K1 Alcohol Awareness Week and unfortunately it h€K1 poor attendance. Something like that takes time and a lot of hard work and it can't be oone all the time. But why can't we use all our available resources, like the school newspaper and take a stand and print some factual information on alcohol and let the students see it in bl~k and white. It is wrong to push the blame on the Student Center Security and to close the Stuoont Center for Friday night SUB parties. That is not an answer Student 0overnment offered you Alcohol Awareness week. What about the other organizations? Take a stand and get into ~tion. The -6..ewm is one of the most effective forms of communication on campus, so I ask the Bm:m, the other organizations, and students to stop complaining about the drink ing problems and the alcohol policy and take ~tion.

The Breakfast Club is Sure to Satisfy Your Appetite byAnn Devlin Five high-school students spend a Saturdsy in the library serving detention. Sounds like fun, ooesn't it? Actually, it proves to be very entertaining. I.be Breakfast Clull is an ironic comoo, about five distinctly different teenagers getting to know themselves by m 1tttng their faults and revealing their follies. Writer and director John Hughes ooes a gxxi job with a setting limited to virtually one room and to a time frame of one day. The char~ters make the movie. Their ~tions and reactions are crisp, humorous and we11 paced. Society seems to cate,;prize the students into stereotypes. Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) is the brain ; Claire Standish ( Molly Ringwald) is a prissy socialite; Andrew Clark ( Em i1 io Estevez) is the jock ; Allison Reynolds (Ally ShEm() is the misfit; and John Bender (Jt.01 Nelson) is a pot-heM. The narrow minded, inflexible disciplinarian ( Paul Gleason) assigns~ student to write a thousand word essay entitled "Who am I?" Whiie the teenagers scoff at this introspection as senseless punishment, they oo, ironically, discover who they really are. The students find they are re6lly not thlrt different from each other, but are rather individuals sharing m8rly of the same qualities. They all suffer from peer pressure, lack of parental understanding and society's unrealistic expectations. Some of the teenagers' honest missions are painful. Bender displays a cigar burn on his arm from his fether, who punished him for spilling paint. Allison tricks Claire into milting she's a virgin , and Allison herself admits she has a problem with lying. · Some of the revelations are funny. Bri8rl , the brain, was found with a gun in his locker. ( This is the reason he is serving a Saturdsy detention.) He admits he couldn't take getting an "f" in shop and considered putting an end to his life- -with a flare gun. Bender , the pot-heM, is pl~ in solitary confinement after harassing both his companions and the teacher. As he attempts to rejoin his peersin the library by stealthily crawling through a passage above the room, the ceiling gives Wflf. Bender ends up dropping in sooner th8n expected. The other students 1(1fally rover for him as he hides under a desk when the dull-witted teacher comes in to check the disturbance.

It brings out · the universal problems almost all of us experience as teenagers, as well as the problems of being a parent or teacher. Although the soul-searching may be . a bit exaggerated and unusually ·deep for teenagers to share, the teenagers' problems aren't unusual. In the end they are ab le· to understand more about each other and about themselves.

Everyone Should Se Lucky Enough To Have a Friend Like This I consider myself a lucky men. I have some friends I wouldn't trade for anything. Friends I can rely on in the most 03SJ)erate situations.

I've known this man for three and a half yeers, and 1'11 never forget him. He's touched me so many times by being himself. He knows no other Wftf to live but by being himself 81'ld by greeting everyone with a smile ond with a sincere, friendly hello. My friend visits me whenever possible and calls me every once in a while. J!le's been ooing this since my freshman yeer , · and he ooesn't get too caught up In his 11fe to keep In touch over breaks and during the long summers.

I'm not reooy to lose him either. He thanks me all the time for being so nice to him. £very time he says that I have to laugh.

He could teach those guys with their fingers on the buttons control11ng our destinies a long- for~tten outlook on life. I h8V8 never felt sorry for my friend as others have. Meeting him for the first time, I could tell this man would show me a few things. He has taught me to deal with people who oon't quite unoorstand us.

Those of you who Sf1tf it never left are crazy. It's been ~ for quite a few years. Bands like Duran Duran and Culture Club oon·t pl8Y rock and roll, they ploy space music-music that has forgnten its roots, music whose roots have rotted trNoy. This isn't to SB-/ that there isn't any merit to this music. It serves a purpose. It entertains children and keeps ooults.,. who like it feeling young. But for the rabid rock and roll fan, this music "j ust oon·t cut it... Jimmy Page has rescued us. He's dusted off the old twelve- str ing guitar from his fi nger-bleeding days in led Zeppelin, grabbed some other w E F EO KR E E NC I ' ! DA s T rock relics like former BIi:!

The first thing you hear when your stylus hits the vinyl is that familiar Page sound. His guitar sounds as if it's throwing up after a long ni~t of partying. · ~Y frie nd Pat :VValsh S8YS ~age is so ~loppy hes perfect. It s_a ~tiful sound to- he8r agem finally. Page hasn·t treated us to his guitar magic since he burned up the commercially unsuccessful .Dm1h Wish I.wg soundtrack in 1982. Except for the Ronnie Lane concert , the legendary Page has been keeping out of sight and sound. If you reed or talk to anyone who knows rock and roll, what you usually hear is that Page can't cb it anymore, that his tear-ass dsys with Led Zeppelin drained all the life frorn his fingers. Listen to The Firm's flrst effort and all you·ve been told or have reed will g:.i flying right out the window. Jimmy Page can still fly on the guitar, so much so that if you close your eyes while listening to him, you expect to hear Robert Plent come screaming in with some gut-wrenching vocals. Although Page is the highlight of this album , he is not the only one who deserves praise. Rogers has never sounded better , especially in some of the slower tunes on the record. S111:le's drums are earth-shatter ing and provide a good setup for Page's leads and Roger's vocals. The bass lines Aries ( March 21-April 19) Great weekend coming up.

Salary arbJtration is the prooess free lWJ8fltS use to settle on a salary with club owners. This year the owners won seven of 13 arbitration cases. This year, the aver8(13 salary has risen to $329,408. At leost players wm make $ 1 m111ion or' more in 1985, comparoo wtth 22 tn 1984. Some of baseball's most prestigious players used either free ageooy or threot of free ~ to ne{J)t late Jong- term 36 bonanzos to eorn more money. Baltimore's Froo Lynn wm earn $6.8 m111ion wer five Y911'S. Chle8!J)'s Rick Sutcliffe wm eorn $9 m1111on wer f1ve years. These outrageous sahries are just the Up of the iceberg. Not only have salaries \J>l'l8 through the roof, but clubs can't just sign a player to a certain salary. They have to sweeten the agreement with bonuses or with incentive clauses. Some free agents planned their salaries so that salaries would be biooer and better starting with the 1986 season. These players fear a strike will interrupt the 1985 season, and they oon't want to lose the big salaries they wm receive. Thanks to arbitration, which estab11shes a player's salary for one season, some players won't' need a bonus to become m111ionaires. Now all it takes is ot leost two years in the majors, some great-looking statistics and 1nflat1on. Do our protess1ona1 atnletes reolly perform well enough or oo enough to be m111ionaires? Admittooly, not all players are m1111onaires. If things keep ~ing as they are, players wm be millionaires soon. It's time restrictions were put on professional athlete's salaries. SQor1s mustroted reports ~ that clubs suffered $80 million to $120 mmton in losses last year and that eight teams are on the block to be sold. If restrictions were pl~ on salaries, perhaps clubs wouldn't be in the roo. Maybe tickets to games wouldn't cost so much. ( Good S88ts are costly.) Do these athletes really deserve h~ salaries when a !J)od de61 of them earn more money by being product spokespersons? The world of athletic salaries has (J)tten out of hand.

Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the engineering department, explained that the objectives of the new programs are Nto meet the technical needs of the community and the local industry by providing working professionals and full-time students the opportunity to pursue a master's degree." The master's program will have several features that are unique to Wilkes and will include fl lnw student-to-faculty ratio, a strong laboratory, hands-on experience, a required research thesis and a course in "Science, Technolo;JY, and Ethics." The "Science, Technolo;JY, and Ethics" course is intended to help to increase the awareness of engineers to the social and environmental aspects of their projects, according to Dr. Brian Redmond, assistant chairman of the Engineering Department. The research requirement will address problems of local industry and find solutions to these problems. The thesis will be presented in a open forum, and the student will have to answer questions from the department and from the audience concerning the thesis. Some of the unique features of the master's programs are the limitations being placed on the faculty. Current faculty members will supervise no more than two graduate theses per semester and are limited to teaching no more then one graduate course. This is to "prevent the migration of the fecultv to araduate courses which has a very negative impact on the quality of the undergraduate program," said Nejib. The program will benefit the undergraduate program and the· College by providing a highly competitive edge in applying for grants and in soliciting outside support. The Electrical Engineering M8Ster's program is m:cepting students for the fall semester, and the Engineering and App11ed Sciences program will start in the fall of 1986.

Communication Majors to Face Mandatory Participation by Cress Shallers Where's the Gym? Prospective freshmen and parents brave the rain to get their first look at Wilkes College as part of Sunday's annual Visi tation Day program. A plan which would require Communication majors to participate actively in all college media is being discussed. But contrary to the recent rumor, the abolition of the student publication scholarships has not been discussed. According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartclegen, "There isn't any question that the faculty of Speech/Communication/Theatre Arts has been discussing a plan to integrate the radio and TV station, Bmllo, Amnjcola, del:iate team, and possibly theatre with the Department of Communications." "We've discussed a number of options ranging from making experience part of the credit structure or saying to students that as a part of your major, you will be expected to spend time working in several areas in order to ·graduate," said Hartdagen. "The exact method I oort't know--it needs more discussion," he actied. "In none of these discussions has the poss1b11ty of abolishing the publication scholarships been entertained," said Hartdagen. "We haven't even touched that." Hartdagen aaied, "We're only at the talking and thinking stage. Any final decision will be mo with the new Communication faculty members, then reviewed by the Curriculum Committee, and ultimately by the whole faculty. Therefore, the ear11~t possible time for any action would be fall of 1986." Several student leaders agreed with the new proposal.

The Military Has Plenty of Missiles,bu~ Not Enough Boots A recent washington EQS1 story reported a deficiency in the military·s stockpiles. No, there are enough missiles (although President Reagan doesn't think so) and other tools of destruct ion. The military needs boots--a lot of them. The Army, which accounts for 90 percent of the mi1itary·s shoe requirements, last year had stockpiled only 18 percent of needed rubber iovershoes, 29 percent of insulated cold-weather boots, and 83 percent of jungle combat boots, the report said. The Pentagon, in its zeal to buy triple and quadruple digit coffee pots, hammers, and toilet seats, apparently has lost sight of necessities closer to a soldier's heart--or should I say feet. Could Reagan be justified in his effort to increase defense spending? I don't think so. Reagan p1ans to spend bi11ions to replace outdated minuteman missiles wi th the MX. Why is the minuteman outdated? Because the missile . silos are stationary, making them highly vulnerable to attack. Where does Reagan want to put the MX? The new missi Jes will fill the very same minuteman silos. Sitting ducks. SG Student Calendars a Mistake Student Government recently voted to fund "Men of Wilkes· and ·women of Wilkes" calendars. They are not good ideas. From what I can understand, they will not be popular items. The maj ori ty of Wilkes students should not want to own calendars with 24 exploited men and women. Females' atti tudes · toward themselves ar e changing. Current ly, a movement opposing beauty contests and similar affairs grows in strength. No Wilkes Co11ege organization should sponsor a project that perpetuates stereotypes. Origina11y I thought the idea a good one. I quickly changed my mind. There appears to be no proper approach to such a calendar . I have seen the list of the 24 people ·voted" to be on the calendars. The 24 specimens do not represent a cross-secti on of Wilkes students. Other -problems exist with this calendar: The project's organizer has worked very hard, but is it any coincidence that she is one of the twelve females? Is it a coincidence at least two of the females worked the voting ballot box? And how can a student who transferred here in January get enough votes to place in the "top 12?" These questions only make the calendars Jess reputable. Surely Student Government can f ind better projects to fund. The military and federal budget are plagued by the same problem--poor placement of money and cuts in the wrong places. The proposed mi Ii tary budget shouJd march in step more with the rest of the economy. All government programs should carry the f~der a1 government's econom ic burden, not only the social programs. 1r1,e11n~• VOL. XXXVII No. 16 March 26, 1985 ,...

Monsen A piece of American history is on display at the Sordoni Art 0allery. The works of Howard Pyle, known as Nthe fether of American illustration," make up what is "a very populmPXhibit," said gall director Judith O'Toole. "It's popular with the students as well as the community," continued O'Toole, NUsually students stand by the elevator and just look in. With this exhibit they seem to be coming in to look.

Mrs. Cabot has been attending Wilkes part-time since 1974, two years after moving to the Wilkes-Barre area. She began her college career in 1959 when she enrolled at Wellesley College, near Boston, Massachussetts. For over a quarter century she knew she wented to be an artist. "I can't ever remember not being interested in art," she said. "In high school I took several art courses because I was very interested in it... After two years at Wellesley she left college to marry an English te!dler. Her husband's teaching career carried the Cabot family as far awrJy as Hawaii before they finally settled in the Wilkes-Barre area. Mr. Cebot chairs Wyoming Seminary's English Department. Since leaving Wellesley in 1961 , the Cabots have raised three children. One child has alreoo, graduated from Brown University. The other two are juniors, one at Boston College and the other at Wyoming Seminary. Mrs. cabot managed a few college courses while raising children and working full-time at a local greenhouse. She has taken three courses each of the last four semesters. "You make time for the things you want to do," she said. She does, however, get time off. The Cabot family spends every summer at a summer home on Martha's Vineyard, an island off the ,Massochusetts coast. Upon grMuation in May, Mrs. Cabot said she will spend the summer v!D!tioning as usual. After that -- no plans. "I can only see as far as May, .. she said.

Delaware also becamt: the home of Pyle's extensive art collection after his death in 1911. The collect ion, however, did not. alwrJys have a spot in the museum. "Some wealthy people bought the collection and didn't know what to do with it. It was literally stored-in a closet at the hotel Dupont," said Rowland Elzea, octing director of the Delaware Art Museum, in a recent lecture at Wilkes College. "Now Howard Pyle is truly at the soul of the Delaware Art Museum ," oo:1ed Elzea. Not only a talented artist, Pyle doubled as a talented writer. He published his first work in 1876 and in 1877 joined the art staff of Harper's magazine. "Magazines were the televisions of tcxlay," said Elzea. In 1885, there were only four magazines with large circulations. These sold for • around forty cents each, which was pretty expensive then. By the 1890s, at least 10,000 illustrations were produced for "over 11,000 magazines that publishers could have proctically given awrJy, they hM Howard Pyle's "The Fate of a Treasure Town: Extorting Tribute so much money," said Elzea. from the Citizens," 1905.

W �PA6E NINE ' Electron Microscope Provides New Oppdrtunities by Mary Jo Golden The tnfition of a new eleotron microscope in the Wilkes BiolCXJY Department will aid both faculty and students by providing new information as well as teEK:tting valuable sic ills. The microscope, the CWIKSCAN 100 F1eld Em ission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), was oonated by Bell laboratories. Installation assistance was received from the Wilkes Electrical Technician Service. Annual maintenance will be provided by an enoowment from the Grace Kimball Memorial Fund. Engineering students· will also have the opportunity to use the SEM for technical traini:ig as well as for observation of non-biological materials. Wilkes is the only college in the area to possess an SEM microscope. The SEM is capable of magnifying specimens up to 70,000 times life s1ze, as compared to the 430-970 times magnification capability of the standard compound microscopes used by biolCXJY students. The most important distinguishing feature of the SEM is that it is able to give a three-dimensional picture of the surface structure of the specimen being looked at. This is in contrast to the Transmission Electron Microscope OEM). The TEM is only able to give a two-"dimensional view of a specimen beneath its outer surface. -Specimens for TEM must be prepared as very thin sections. SEM specimens must be small, but they oo · not have to be sectioned. These small pieces are coated with heevy metal ions, and as the electrons hit the surface, secondary electrons are bounced off which are then translated by the microscope to form a picture. Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the Department of BiolCXJY, is "optimistic about the potential this instrumentation holds for students in the department. .. Turoczi is currently learning to use the SEM and hopes to receive more training during the summer in electron microscopy techniques. This will further implement the use of the SEM in the biol(XJY department. Dr. Wilbur Hayes, professor in the department, has fi>ne post-ooctoral electron microscopy work and will also use the SEM for independent research. Once the faculty has acquired an Ed:lquate knowlea:JE! of the SEM, it will be possible to involve students more in the use of the microscope.

In tnfition to allowing them to see more surface detail of specimens than they have seen previously, students will receive trainig that will aid them In both graduate school and technical employment. Students in the Engineering Department will also have the opportunity to use the SEM to look at nonbiological specimens such as electron currents and silicon wafers aoo to analyze crystal morpholgy. Once the SEM is completely functional, auxlliary equipment can be used for analysis of surface metals. This implementation, called EDAX, is a computerized x-ray defraction analysis of metals. One of the ultimate (J)als for the use of the Scanning Electron Microscope is to be ab le to provide access to members of the community to enable them to bring samples and to have the samples analyzed by the faculty.

Aa:ording to M«n,r-n Principles of Athletic JcaiOilXI by Klafs and Arnheim. a strain is a stretch , teer or rip in the muscle itself or in the ooajm:ent tissue, such as the fascia (a band or sheath of connective tissue supporting or binding) or muscle terxbls. The main C8llS8 of a strain is often unknown. A number of things C8fl cause strains. Most often, a strain is produced by an abnormal muscular confrectton. One popular theory about this abnormal muscle contr~ion is that the problem lies in the reciprocal coordination of the 81J)nist and ant8(J)lltst muscles. In other words, one muscle struooles to respond to the other muscle's movement. ( The muscle won't move in a certain . Wfff.) Reasons for muscle contr~ion include a mineral imbalance caused by profuse sweating, fatigue metabolites collected in the muscle or strength imbalance between 8(J)l1ists and antarp1ists in muscles. A strain mfff range from a small separation of the connective tissue and muscle fiber to a complete muscle rupture. The muscles that have the highest incidence of strains are the hamstring group, the gmtrocnemius, the qum--iceps group, the hip flexors, the hip oo:tuctor group, the sptnal1s of the back, the deltoid and the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Indicators of a strain mff( include a snap when the tissue tears, muscle fatigue and spasm before the strain occurs, severe weakness and a loss of function of the part, a sharp pain upon injury, muscle contrectton of the affected area, extreme tenderness and an inmntation or cavity where the tissue has separated. days.

Members of Kinney's Kids include (left to right) Dan Duttinger, Walter Schonfeld, Annette Winski , Donna O'Toole, Eric Chase and R C. Nause. See story on p. 9. by Kathy Hyde Last night, at meetings held with residents of Barre Hall and Miner 4, Residence Life Directors Paul Adams and Sue Tomalis announced that the use of those halls would be reclesignated for next semester. Miner 4 will be converted to a male resioonce hall, and the third floor of Barre Hall will be converted to female residency. Adams explained that these decisions were mcrl! in an effort to "improve the overall quality of residence life on campus." According to Adams, the redesignation plan was devised based upon the following objectives: - To increase the acceptance level of Miner Ha11 ·as a desired residence hall. - To decrease the number of freshman students placed at Mi ner Hall. - That any reclesignation of .residence halls be based on the anticipated number of male and female housing contracts. A1iams also noted the following implications of the plan: - The addition of men to Miner Hall will improve security. - The number of single rooms available to men on campus w1ll increase. - Co-educational housing at Miner Hall may make it a more attractive facility. Objections from residents of M1ner 4 centered on the topics of seniority in room selection and the availability of single rooms elsewhere on campus. Adams explained that past room selection procedures indicate that there will be ample opportunity for Miner 4 women to choose single rooms on either the third or fifth floors of Miner, as well as in other buildings on cam pus. Also, any Miner 4 resident who wishes to choose a room in another building will have priority, within her class year, In the annual room selection lottery. All male resioonts in Barre Hall will have similar priority in the male lottery. Adams explained that the male resioonts of Barre 1 will also be given priority because they are losing the opportunity to choose singles on the third floor. All seniority accrued by residents of Miner 4 and Barre 3 will carry over to the new residence hall, Adams said. Miner 4 women also expressed concern that they and their friends will be forced to split up when they move. Adams said he ooesn·t forsee any problem in keeping groups of five or six, and possibly more, together. �PAGE TWO Vote Responsibly Politics affect every aspect of our life. Nationally, politicians create legislation that influences how we live our lives. Every law they make, change, or destroy touches us directly. ·) Abolition of public transportation, for example, would alter the lifestyles of people who don't have their own transportation--whether for economical or for practical reasons. Legislation not directly helping everyone will have future rep#rcussions for everyone. The new MX missiles will benefit a handful of businessmen, but the "peacekeepers" will cost the rest of us a great deal of money--at a time when our national debt is growing and when we are least able to afford it. Reagan expects the American people to accept federal budget cuts in social programs such as education so he can spend more money on bombs. And what do we do about it? Complain. Most Americans who voted for Reagan did not care . about the issues, just about images. One Wilkes College Trustees Scholar said she voted for Reagan because ·waiter Mondale's a wimp." Reagan's nice television appearance and good radio voice helped form his image. People voted not on the issues, but on the images. We have a responsibility to look beyond the images. The issues are important, not the images. We, as educated people, should not fall into this trap. Students, remember that when you vote for YOUR representatives on April 11.

Just as I was, you will be glued to the film from its very first scene to the last credit that rolls onto the screen. Every time I see a film or read a book based on a true story, it has a much greater impact on me. ~ is a true story about Rocky Dennis, a boy who had a disease which made his face and head grotesquely abnormal and whose mother was a member of a motorcycle gang. WF EO E R KE EC NA of Sharon's View by Sheron Mcloughlin Eric Stolz does an exceptional job of portraying Hoc~y dnd makes the character corne alive. He reminds us all of a 'R.ocky" we once knew who touched us in some way. Rocky has a happy, enthusiastic attitude toward life, and the audience gets caught up in this energy. He never says , "Why me?" and he never dwells on his misfor tunes. Rocky's special personality seems to shine throughout the movie. One instance of this is the way he deals with starting at a new school. He could have (Jme to a special school, but he chose not to. He uses his sense of humor to help deal with the other students. He quickly makes friends and groouates at the top of his class in two subjects. Watchi~g Rocky get his two awards and seeing his classmates afld family cheering sent shivers throughout my bocty'.

On the same token , the poll-takers voted Slocum Hall the sloppiest dorm. In defense of his dorm, one resident compl8ined, "Well, the maids could do something about it.

If Evans Third is the life of the campus, then Barre Hall is considered its mellow counterpart. Upon hearing this bit of information , Barre Hall residents Roye Abramson and his roommate Mike claimed, "We think the reason why everyone else thinks we're boring is MYSf£RY YIKES I MfAr \ A6A/N? , 015e:,u~1IN6 AlfJ'T 11"?

Roye trlied ,"Ah, you're all just jealous that we have oocent looking girls and virtual Adonises for men." Qualifying as the most studious dorm is Sterling Hall, bec6Use it is the 24-hour quiet dorm on campus. Sterling resident Thom Burkhart explained, "Most of the guys are electrical engineering majors. We do party, but when we do we don't destroy things. After all, this is where we live. Would you destroy your home?" Another all-male dorm , Denison Hall , receives the honor of the most athletic dorm. The men from Pickering Hall party, too, so much so that they won the coveted "most alcoholic dorm on campus" award. Plclcertng's partying motto is best summed up by senior Mike Kopcho: For me and for all That's our alcohol, We'll out-drink you all, At Pickering Hall! This motto certainly carries through for the boys from 391 , whose parties have earned them the right to be called Wilkes College's best party-throwing apar tment. The apartments 307 and 354 definitely give 39 1 a run for their keg. Nearing the end of the poll, we asked students what they didn't like about living here at Wilkes. Common responses include not enough school spirit and support, no privacy in dorms, overcrowded parties, Hennas, attitudes and small-mindedness. Topping the list, however, is the laclc of weekend ~tivities. T.J. Abato put it best when he said, "Trying to have a party that caters to a majority of the student population while being limited to one or two half-kegs, I feel, negates any trust in the students at all. The policy has to change in order for the students to seriously enjoy themselves." All in all , students do enjoy their college days here at Camp Wilkie. One question posed on the poll asked students which aspect of living away from home they enjoyed the most. FrEm1m , independence, and being on their own proved to be the three most popu Jar r esponses. As our poll comes to a close, please take it for what it is worth. Intentions were to encourage better attitudes in order to improve the social life here at Wilkes. Eric Clapton never was one to be intimidated. Through his music, you could always tell he was doing his own thing. Even in his early days with the Yardbtrds, when he was one of three b~ing legends fighting to play the leoos, he eventually hoo enough and set out on his own. You can't push Eric Clapton ar ound. He developed a style that people ate up. At least for a while. With his release of the classic SJowhand, Clopton slapped everyone in the face with a collection of music that has become timeless. Here's a guy who seemed like he'd never give in. After all, he probably j ust wanted to gather a faithful audience who appreciated him as he was. He could play his music and not conform to the changing world. Just give Clapton his guitar , his ever-present female bockup , a IJXXi· bassist and a decent drummer , and he'd throw to;,3ther an album that his fans would eat up. Clapton's l6St album.. .t:1oow and Cigarettes, seemed to fit that mold, but his fans didn't do much eating. In foct, the album was virtually ignored to the point where it is OON a cut - out discount album. Obviously, his fans were sick of hearing about his trouble with drugs and alcohol and expected Clopton to redeem himself with a commercially successful tune or two, something the record didn't have. What this seemed to set the stage for was a great comeback. own Wf1./ of arranging music. Clapton doesn·t seem to be as free with the guitar as he should be, with the exception of "Just Like a Prisoner," in which he plays a lead that will blow minds. The album locks a few choice leads. Collins' influence can be heard on "She's Waiting" - - - - - - - - - - with the earth-shattering by Thomas J . Monsen drums that Collins· followers so anx iously wait for. Record Review .B..ehind !.he SUD shoo Id have been that album , but it isn't. It does contain a successful single , "Forever Man ," but it seems to lock depth. Clapton has changed the sound that m~ S)owhand so successful, the sound that built him a pretty faithful fol low ing. The closest he gets to that old sound is "It All Depends." It sounds a little like "Wonderful Tonight.," which was one of the most popular songs on SJowhand It's not that an artist should not try to move on and to exper iment with new things. Clapton has always done this, ond it's almost always worked. One can't help thinking that Phi I Collins ( who proouced a 1JXX1 part of the album) hoo a lot to say about what went on the album and how it went on. Colllns, an obvious genius , has his wery of putting music tCXJ3ther ( such as putting drums up front covering most of the other instruments ,) and Clapton, through his obvious genius with the guitar, has his Collins does allow Clapton to be himself in light of the obvious <Xtiitions. The tunes Coll ins proouced are the most "Clopton-sounding" tunes on the album. "Forever Man," pr oouced by Ted Templeman and Lenny Waronker, sounds like a Santana song. Even the leoo sounds like something Carlos would have dreamed up. Templeman and Waronker ao:t a whole slew of instruments that in the end seem to enaulf Clapton. The lyr ics are vintage Clapton. He sings about the downfalls love can cause , and it's not hard to tell that he's been through the wringer a feW times. Not only are the words wor th listening to , but Clapton's voice has IJ)tten better with age. He's mellowed and sounds as if he could sing any small child to sleep with that quiet, deep voice. Clapton may not have hit it with this album, but there's no doubt that he's still around. And he still won't be intimi<mted. ---------------------------------------Tired of Paying $5.00 For Movies?

One in particular struck me as being a viable proposal. The suggestion was m~ by Neil Douris that an Intramural Council be developed. I think that suggestion could work. My ideas of what an Intramural Council should be in charge of include many things. With a council, students would be directly involved in the decision-making process. The council could be made up of a part-time director, the athletic director, a physical education instructor, five or six students and a Dean. By including students on the council, the Colleoe will be allowing for (}Jod communication between the faculty and the students. By having the athletic director on the council, students would be kept abreast of any changes on the calendar caused by the sports department. Having a Dean on the council would allow for direct contact with the 8:lministration. The council could meet once monthly for a scheduled meeting and meet whenever else it is necessary. The council should be made up of students wit.ti an interest in the program and time to devote to the program. With a council to plan activities, the College could have a variety of sources of 1deas, more organization and more manpower. The council would be responsible for designing the programs, hiring referees and individual program directors, ordering equipment, settHng problems and planning when necessary. Acouncil could set up rules and regulations and stick to them consistently. The students on the council could be paid work-study money if they are eligible, or they might donate their time. I think that individual program leaders should still be paid as well as referees. If a council were to be formed now, it could begin planning for next year. It would be able to coordinate the gym hours with the varsity sports, the community activities and the campu5 events. Dates and schedules could be printed on the calendar as well as in the Bes;;on An Intramural Council sounds like the answer to a lot of problems except one. How do we decide which students will be or tl,e council ? A possible solution to that problem is for the students to apply for the positions and to be interviewed by the College personnel. If we cooperate with one another, the council can and will be effective. Th t n onl b~nl>'it eve one involved. Women's Tennis Sweeps First Match and Russo 6-0, 6-0.

The Colonels traveled to Bloomsburg last Tuesday and came up on the short end of a I f-10 score. The men of Wi kes played poorly, con nitting six errors to help the ·1skies jump out to an early a-2 m. Sophomore Tony Caladie displays his hard-hitting batting form. Caloo1e h6S hit 5 home runs th1s season. I the fourth inning the Colon, , rallied for eight runs and a · 0-8 lead. Sophomore outfielder Tony Caladie provided the big hit, a three-run _home run. The Huskies struck back with their own power and ~ relief pitching to shut down Wilkes' chances for an opening-day victory. On Wednesday, the Colonels had their home opener in the form of a twin bill with the University of Scranton. The Colonels fell behind in the early innings 2-0 but came back quickly. Ed Domzalski and Tony Caladie homered for a 3-2 lead. These were all the runs pitcher Don Shaw wou Id need as he overpowered the Raya! batters throughout the game. The Colonels ao:1ed three insurance runs as Caladie hit his second home run of the game and third of the season for a 6-3 margin of victory. Don Shaw went the distance for his first victory of the season , striking out seven batters. In the second game, Caladie and Shaw proved to be thorns in the Royals' si~. as both played key roles in Wilkes' victory.
