' As of this date Wilkes remains a liberal arts college - and one of the bulwarks of America. A liberal education is as basic a part of the American tradition as indiviudal freedom. Indeed liberal education is one of our oldest traditions. For Harvard, our oldest liberal arts college, was founded in 1636, the United States as a nation dates from 1787, and the " Bill of Rights" amendments which guarantee individual freedoms were added to the constitution in 1791. An education in the liberal arts is a liberalyzing education, and the word "liberal" comes from the Latin liber, which means "free" . So " the liberal arts" literally mean " the arts becoming to a free man". From the beginning back in 1933 as Bucknell University Junior College I think this college has been faithful in offering a liberalzing educational philosophy throughout the years. There are those who believe that what has been going on at ~ilkes may not now be meeting the needs of students in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Coincidentally a committee at the college has just completed a study on the subject. But I feel liberal education, as conceived and taught at Wilkes is practical education for its purpose has been to awaken and develop intellectual and spiritual values in the student before he enters upon his chosen career, so that he may bring to that career the greatest possible assets of intelligence, resourcefulness, judgment and character. We look with pride toward Wilkes today, for what it has contributed and for what is hopes to do. As a liberal college we are proud of this heritage of emphasizing human values, and encouraging the development of the individual student and scholar. And we feel it is a college of contemporary relevance. Wilkes cannot live in the golden eras of its past if it is to serve the present. Nor can it live in the prospect of the future , if the present is to reveal the future . It is Wilkes' role to lead in our sphere of higher education; not to follow. Its role is to assert command over the forces of change rather than be their reluctant victim. And size, diversity and specialization do not automatically carry virtue in their train. We are called upon as a faculty and administration to give the most careful thought to the central purposes we serve best lest we .become as John Gardner recently described our sprawling metropolitan centers, 'the unintended consequences of millions of fragmented purposes.' Such a view of the college does not depricate specialization, organization or discipline in our society. On the contrary, it assigns them their proper and most meaningful roles. We know that specialization is necessary in an age in which so many skills are available and required that no man can develop them all. We must understand that through organization we know when and how these skills are available to us. We appreciate too the necessary role of discipline for when we depend on others as much as we do in our complex society, we want to be sure they are dependable. But at Wilkes we must assert as one of the basic assumptions on which the college rests that man, not knowledge, or power, or technology, or specialization or organization, is the central focus of our effort. These things, like the Sabbath, were made for man. We anticipate the inauguration of Christopher Breiseth with great joy and renewed hope. We will provide cogent educational leadership for this little liberal arts college so that it will remain a bulwark for the finer quality of life in this area and in America. Appropriately, the inauguration of our new president occurs as spring is breaking upon us and as Easter occurs - signifying new life. And so it will be at Wilkes - renewed spirit and commitment to a liberating experience. Let each of us in his or her own little sphere catch the renewed spirit and go forward, shoulder to shoulder toward a finer educational experience at Wilkes. 'It will be a big day for our family ... " To The Wilkes Student Body: The coming inauguration of a new president of Wilkes is both a solemn and happy moment in the life of the College. Wilkes has inaugurated only three other presidents in more than half a century: Eugene Farley, Francis Michelini, and Robert Capin. Both Dr. Michelini and Dr. Capin will participate in the inauguration. Mrs. Breiseth and I hope that many of you also will participate with us in the ceremony on Sunday, April 14, in the Wilkes Gymnasium. You need to pick up tickets in advance since the audience is expected to fill the gym. It obviously will be a big day for our family, including our daughters, Abigail, Erika, and Lydia, and other members of our families, as well as many old friends . More significant, it will be an important day for the College and the many constituencies which nourish and draw strength from Wilkes: the students, the faculty, tl)e administration, the trustees, the alumni, and friends of the College from near and far. In addition, more than 130 colleges, universities, and learned societies will be represented by delegates marching in the academic procession. The colorful pageantry will be memorable, linking this moment of renewal at Wilkes with similar moments for colleges and universities throughout history, drawing on traditions going back to medieval Europe. We are connected to our past, frequently in ways we barely grasp. This installation will make explicit our ties as a College not only to Wilkes's own proud past but to the tradition of higher learning. After receiving the chain of office, I will speak about the mission of Wilkes as we prepare for the 21st century. My remarks will be built upon the work of the Mission Task Force this year. Dr. Frederick Rudolph, a leader in higher education, an old friend, and a son of the Wyoming Valley, will be the major speaker. In addition to the greetings from other leaders of our region, the ceremony will premier a major musical work written for the inauguration by Wilkes faculty member, Bruce Reiprich, and performed by Wilkes students. There will be other events. A piano recital in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. by Roosevelt Newson will begin the formal festivities . You are invited to this as to all the other public events, including the faculty seminar on Saturday evening, the Morning of Celebration in the CPA on Sunday at 10 a.m., and the reception in the Dining Hall after the inauguration. There will also be parties on Saturday night where we hope to see you. We want to thank the many students who have helped or will help with the logistics of this ambitious undertaking. The Breiseths hope to inaugurate the inauguration with a reception held by commuter students in the Conyngham Student Center on Thursday and with residential students in the Dining Hall for dinner Thursday evening. We hope many of you are looking forward to his celebration as we are and that you, too, plan to participate. Sincerely a{~ (:b,1-u,1-i_ Christopher N. Breiseth 'April 14 will be a great ·day at Wilkes' George Ralston Dean of Student Affairs Letter from the editor About a month ago, seniors Kathy Hyde and Tom Monsen told me they had a good idea. We talked about it for a few minutes, but it didn't take me long to see they were right - they had a good idea. This Beacon special issue is Kathy and Tom's brain-child. They, more than any other Beacon staff members, invested numerous hours of time and effort producing this issue. · Kathy, Beacon news editor, and Tom, Beacon feature editor, are this issue's editors. Their creativity and insight are responsible for making the Special Inauguration Issue a success. The Beacon has broken new ground this year with the introduction of color. Now, Kathy and Tom have set another standard by using a full color photograph. Full color photographs are expensive. The Breiseth family portrait cost more. than an entire regular Beacon issue. To offset the cost, Kathy and Tom solicited ads from various Wilkes College organizations. · Their advertising campaign was so successful that this issue, costing four times more than a regular issue, will almost pay for itself. No previous issue has been as successful. -Page 2 - ::(,~,Jn {! =L ~ Timothy P. Williams Beacon Editor-In-Chief The Beacon/Special Inauguration Issue .....:... "April 1r. 1985 My thanks to the editors of the Beacon for giving me this opportunity to send inaugural greetings, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, to President Breiseth and his family. The Board is pleased and proud that Dr. Breiseth accepted its invitation to become the fourth president of Wilkes College. We are confident that he will perform his challenging task with distinction. April 14 will be a great day at Wilkes. We are delighted to be joining with the rest of the College community on this grand occasion. I would like to add a special greeting from the Board to the whole student body. It is. you who make our efforts worthwhile. And to the editors and staff of the Beacon, I send an extra thank you for putting out a first-class publication this year. Sincerely, ~~&~ Patricia Davies Chairman, Board of Trustees �Wilkes PreSidents Past Eugene S. Farley . 1947 · 1970 In April of 1936, John Eisenhauer, who had been appointed director of BUJC by Bucknell University, was replaced by Eugene S. Farley. Dr. Farley came to Wilkes-Barre confident that the Junior College could survive, and be able to supply an excellent service to the community. Farley was conscious of two very important factors. The first being that many students with exceptional ability had seized the opportunity offered by the establishment of a college they could attend while living at home. Their economic condition in the midst of the "great depression" would not allow them to finance an education away from home. The second factor was the existance of a diverse student body with a wide range of abilities and motivation. "" Dr. Farley instantly gained the respect of the community and college leaders. He was often referred to as "The Great White Father" or " The Old Man", respectfully. Farley was a physically tall, big, strong man with an equally strong Irish-Quaker ancestry. The respect that Dr. Farley had earned along with his dedication, perserverence, belief in the Junior College, and genuine concern for students provided all the necessary elements to allow for the college to survive. The early years, were years of slow material growth, but the college's contributions to the community established the rules and traditions that Wilkes College still swears by. In 1938, it was announced that a $30,000 deficit had been created during the first five years of BUJC's existance. At the time, Dr. Farley was working very closely with Arnaud Marts, head of one of the best fundraising companies in the country. Together Farley and Marts set forth to conduct a campaign that provided for the donation of the necessary money. Needless to say, the campaign was completely successful, and gifts exceeded more than $30,000. In 1946, six years later- and one year before the charter of Wilkes College as a four year, independent, liberal arts college, a second campaign was conducted. With this campaign, and $25,000 worth of Woolworth stock given to Dr. Farley and board associate, Hilbert McClintock, the college was again cleared of another deficit with $8,000 to spare. With the funds given to the college between 1943 and 1947, the essential endowment was attained, and six additional properties were acquired. Unfortunately the fundraising was not complete, another project lay before Dr. Farley and the board. In 1947, the Middle State Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, accredited the newly-created Wilkes College with the understanding that a gymnasium would have to be constructed to meet the needs of a physical education program. A campaign was conducted during 1948 and 1949 which raised $425,000 enabling the college to build a gym by the end of 1949. After the construction of the gymnasium, it seemed that the college had reached a plateau. Dr. Farley felt that if the college did not continue to grow, his services would be useless and there would be little need for him to stay in WilkesBarre. It was a critical period for Dr. Farley and one that he called "very trying." In 1955, Dr. Farley and Marts once again raised their sights and plans for ag- By Gail Steidler Francis J. Michelini 1970 · 1976 With the resignation of Dr. Farley came an agreement by the Board of Trustees to appoint Dr. Francis J. Michelini, as his successor. Dr. Michelini had previously served as Dean of Academic Affairs. Dr. Michelini served as president for five years before he left Wilkes to become president of the Pennsylvania Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities. It was during Dr. Michelini's term as president that the infamous Agnes Flood in June of 1972 created a disaster in the Wyoming Valley and nearly destroyed the college as well. Being the most dramatic event in college history, all other issues, financial or academic, were pushed aside. The college was at the center of the flood area and not one facility on campus was untouched. If the buildings did remain intact, the damages internally were incredibly extensive. The college and community were suffering incredibly and the question asked was "Can We Survive?" Operation "SnapBack", which planned to restore the Valley, was set into motion. After all, the college was a vital part of the community and therefore should set the necessary for the community to follow. However, even if the college was able to set an example for the community, the financial burden was extraordinary, and resources limited. Yet under the leadership of Dr. Michelini, and the addition of large scale government support, the college was able to return to full operation. It was a back breaking, tiresome, uphill battle. With the time and support of the students, faculty, alumni and even the National Guard, the college was able to open its classroom doors to the students that fall · as though it were just another year. Even before the flood occurred, the college was noticeably changing in a number of ways. Wilkes was uneasy about the projection of declining enrollment, the change of student interests, as well as with the gressive action to improve the college. The proposals made to the College Board stated that by 1958 funds should be obtained for: 1) an Auditorium, Music, and Arts building, 2) the acquisition of additional land, 3) an Engineering Building, 4) a classroom building including laboratories for the sciences, 5) a library, 6) increased income for faculty salaries and student aid, and 7) an increased permanent endowment. The response to the proposal was exactly · what Dr. Farley and Marts had hoped for, yet the challenge was obvious. The money needed to allow for the construction was extraordinary, and time was valuable. 1961 marked Dr. Farley's 25th year in Wilkes-Barre, and he was nonored at a testimonial dinner for his many contributions he made to the college and community. It was a time for the faculty and community to reflect back on all he had accomplished. Still very active in Farley were his strong feelings of determination, dedication, perserverance, and a strong belief in the college and community. It was a time of appreciation, and a time when Dr. Farley would further prove to himself and others that after 25 years he was not burned out but actually was just beginning. Throughout the 60's, there was rapid charge and growth on the Wilkes Campus. The Graduate and Research wing of Stark When Dr. Michelini left Wilkes College Hall were completed to further prove the to become President of the Pennsylvania college's diversitility.

The generous that his memory will live on for dorm was for both men and women of the eternity. college. economic security of the college. Wilkes, noted as a Liberal Arts College, decided that the curriculum should contain preprofessional programs as well as the Liberal Arts. The energy crisis presented itself in the 70's and hit Wilkes College with significant impact. A large percentage of the campus buildings were old and becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, and/or renovate. The college, needed newer, upto-date buildings that would prove to be more efficient and economically satisfying. Stark Learning Center and new residence halls were opened and added to the college's appearance. Dr. Michelini was the man who provided the necessary leadership for Wilkes College during these trying times. Without his devotion, and belief in the survival of the college, Wilkes could have gone under and lost all that it had been working to create during its 41 years. The Agnes Flood and the social changes of the early 70's, presented a great threat to the survival of Wilkes, but Dr. Michelini took on the challenge with a great amount of energy and proved to himself and the community that if there was a will, there certainly was a way. Robert S. Capin 1976 · 1984 Robert Capin contributed 26 years to Wilkes College and served on several committees such as the Executive Committee of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities and the National Advisory Allergy and Infectious Diseases Council of the National Institutes of Health. In the fall of 1984, Robert Ca pin left Wilkes College in order to further his career as an accountant. The college was saddened to see Capin leave, but very supportive of his professional goal. With the resignation of Capin came an intense and all inclusive search for a new dynamic president. �Music Department Lends Talents To Inauguration Origi,nal Composition Pi.ano Recital By Pamela Yagiello By Laura Vallone All important events should be accompanied by appropriate music to create the proper atmosphere and capture the enthusiasm of the audience. Dr. Bruce Reiprich, a member of the Wilkes Music Department faculty, has undertaken the responsibility of such a composition which will be premiered at the inauguration of Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth. Dr. Reiprich, originally from Chicopee, Mass., obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Music Theory from the Eastman School of Music, and a Ph.D. in Music Composition from the University of Iowa. Later he taught at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music for one year, and then became a faculty 1hember at Wilkes. Reiprich conceived the idea for the piece, which is entitled "Emerald Blue," last spring and worked on it for approximately four months - June through September. He structured the piece around several factors. First, he intended it to be especially for Dr. Breiseth's inauguration. "I hope to capture the spirit of an inauguration as it reflects the spirit of the man being put into office," said Reiprich. The artist must keep in mind for whom he is writing - not ever losing sight of that," he added. Seco~d, he wanted the piece to involve as many students of the Music Department as possible. The piece will be performed by members of both the Wind Ensemble and the Chorus, thus involving just about everyone in the department. Reiprich wanted the piece to be a challenge, not only to the students, but also to the conductor for whom he intended it Jerome Campbell, chairman of the Music Department. Reiprich also intended to exemplify current trends in music. He believes that one who is concerned with the art of the present should pass it on to future generations to reflect our present culture. "The composer or artist has an option when approaching a project of this sort. People often make compromises, but the music should deal with the present. A new president should be accompanied by new music," said Reiprich. According to Reiprich, there are some important things to remember while listening to the piece. Although the choral part is quite short, the focal point of the entire piece is centered on the choral entrance. Roosevelt Newson has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "a pianist of fine musical instinct and obvious keyboard flair." The Wasington Post says his playing " bursts with drive, direction, and impetuosity." Newson, a faculty member in the Wilkes Music Department, will give a partial recital in honor of President Breiseth's inauguration. The recital, scheduled for Saturday, April 13, at 4:30, kicks off the inaugural activities and will include pieces by Brahms and Schumann. Dr. Newson, born in Louisiana, is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory where he studied with Watler Hautzig and Leon Fleisher. With two grants from the Ford Foundation, he finished his doctoral studies and went on with his professional training at Julliard. Newson has performed with the York Symphony, Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, and the Baltimore Symphony Or- The words of the piece are taken directly from the text of a poem by the Turkish poet Oguz Tansel whom Reiprich met and was inspired by. Reiprich found that this portion of Tansel's poetry instantly lent itself to composition and to this type of piece in particular. " Ultimately I hope the president enjoys the piece," ~id Reiprich, "It is written for he and the students." How it all got done The Inauguration Steering Committee was appointed four months ago by the Board of Trustees and "has been working ever since, " said Betsy Condron. Mrs. Condron, Director of Community Relations for Wilkes, has also assumed the role of Inauguration Coordinator and general chairperson of the Steering Committee, which is composed of trustees, faculty, administrators, students and alumni. The response to the countless invitations that were sent out has been incredible, according to Mrs. Condron. "We've had a terrific turnout, " she said, "and we are expecting over 1,000 guests." An unexpectedly high number of guests have also requested campus tours. "We have a gorgeous campus,' Mrs. Condron said, "and people have heard about it. " Arthur Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, has also served on the Steering Committee. "Inaugurations are a chance to think of the college in its entirety as compared with its constituent parts," :he said. "We see this upcoming inauguration as a way of bringing together all elements of the college community: alumni, faculty, students, board and townspeople," Hoover added.

He has given ·successful performances in Salzburg, Vienna, Brussels, the Hague, and London. He is also a veteran of the Affiliate Artists Program in New York and has presented many concerts on radio and television. "I had planned to take a year off to practice for my recital in the fall," said Newson, "I felt it to be an honor, though, when President Breiseth called and asked me to play for the inauguration. I then decided to put some things on the back burner," he said. The program will include the following works by Brahms: A Sherzo in E flat minor, three piano pieces - an Intermezzo in A major, an Intermezzo in C major, and an Intermezzo in E flat minor. Following the Brahms pieces, Newson will perform "Carnival," Op. 9 by Schumann, which he says is "a festive piece which fits the occasion very well." Newson says he chose these two composers because "they wanted a 45-minute program. I already had the "Carnival" in mind, but I needed something to preceed it with ... So why Brahms? Because he's my favorite composer." Newson is more excited than nervous about the recital. " You're always nervous," he said, " but you get comfortable dealing with the amount of nerves it takes to perform." Dr. Newson's future plans include an allChopin recital scheduled for next fall with particular emphasis on some of his edudes. During the summer he will give a recital in Baltimore, perform at the Encore Music Camp, and play at a gala for the Wilkes-Barre Ballet. Dr. Breiseth: Congratulations! .

What has gone before helps set the stage for what is to come. But the history of Wilkes College is not based solely on tradition, but on change and development. With each new era came new attitudes, events and people that helped shape Wilkes College into the institution it is today. IN THE BEGINNING ... 1933-1946 "The story of a college cannot be tol\i in facts and figures," said Dr. Eugene S. Farley, our first president. "It unfolds with the lives of those who have been influenced by their association with it." The story of Bucknell 'University Junior College, the forerunner of Wilkes College, began in 1933 with 193 freshmen. This local college gave the Wyoming Valley students who would not afford to go away to school a chance to receive an education. BUJC was the cure for a community that could have passed away with the death of the anthracite coal industry. "BUJC provided a place for the sons and daughters of coal miners to expand themselves in all respects," explains Dean Arthur Hoover (Wilkes Class of '55). " It was the first attempt at any form of higher education in this area. Without a local college, college may not have been in my future." But in 1933 the future of BUJC was uncertain. For the first five years Bucknell University financially supported the tiny junior college. The campus we know today did not exist. There was no Stark Learning Center, no Pickering, and no Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for The Performing Arts. The junior college began in rented quarters on the third floor of the WilkesBarre Business College on Northampton Street. Eventually BUJC took over the entire building; but one building does not a campus make. Luckily, strong support came from the community. The Osterhourt Free Library helped start a small college library and the Kirby Health Center served as classroom and laboratory for BUJC biology students. By 1936 change and growth had begun. In March of '36 Eugene Farley replaced John Eisenhauer as director of BUJC. And BUJC finally had a campus; Chase and Conyngham Hall. In the next few years the student body and faculty also started to grow. Instead of commuting from Bucknell University (in Lewisburg), some of the faculty moved to Wilkes-Barre. In 1938 BUJC tested it's independence by creating it's own board of trustees, chaired by Gilbert McClintock. And in 1938 President Farley proudly announced that the college enrollment had grown to 401. With a growing student body_, the board of trustees began looking for ways to expand the BUJC campus beyond two buildings. They set their sights on the Kirby home. By 1941 the BUJC library was located on the second floor of Kirby Hall, music lessons were being given on the first floor and dances were being held in the main living rooms. But just when BUJC's growth seemed unstoppable, the college's enrollment dropped dramatically to 111 students. The cause: World War II. In the Spring of '43 the majority of BUJC's male students were drafted. The future of the junior college was in jeopardy and the chances of making BUJC a fouryear institution were non existent, but Dr. Farley and the United States Air Force Chaner Day - 194 7 changed everything. In April of '43 Dr. Farley convinced the Army-Air Force to start a pre-flight training program at BUJC. Explains Dean George Ralston, " If Dr. Farley had not persuaded the Army-Air Force to send their cadets to BUJC, BUJC may have gone out of existence." With the influx of 1,200 cadets the need for a large campus was clear. Between 1943 and 1946 BUJC's campus appeared to grow overnight. Gies Hall, Butler Hall, Barre Hall, "The Commons" Cafeteria, Wayman Hall, Stoddard House, and Ashley Hall were just a few of the buildings now part of a junior college yearning to become a four-year school. That dream was just around the corner. THE GOLDEN YEARS ... 1946-1960 Dean Ralston has spent 38 years at Wilkes College, as he explains, "I spent my whole life here ... but my fondest memories are of the post World War II years ... the golden years." With the end of the war and the start of the G.I. Bill, came a large scale invasion of students. According to Dean Ralston, "After World War II there was a tremendous energy. a need to go to school...there was a backlog of students. There was a feeling that the school was going to grow." World War II almost broke the school, but as it turned out, it was the catalyst needed to make BUJC "Wilkes College." In May 1947 an application for a charter as an independent, four-year liberal arts college was presented to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. Originally; the school was to be named the Wyoming Valley College. Other possible names included Anthracite College, Luzerne College, Riverside College and Westmoreland College. The charter was later ammended to call the new school Wilkes College after the Englishman John Wilkes. On June 26, 1947 BUJC officially became Wilkes College. The transformation from a junior college into a four-year institution could be seen in the development of extracurricular activities at Wilkes. What started as a basic pioneering educational effort grew into a well rounded academic program. Clubs and organizations provided students " unity amidst diversity." In 1947 the Choral Club was formed followed by Cue . P,!Jge 6 .-r ,T-he Bea~qn/Special lnaugur~i.on .lssu.e...---ApriJ ,1-1 , 1985 and Curtain, Theta Delta Rho, the InterDormitory Council (Dormitories were opened in 1947), the International Relations Club, the NUJC Bison -Stampede became the Wilkes College Beacon, the Manuscript emerged and the Debate Club began, just to name a few. The golden years were filled with firsts . In 1947 the first Homecoming was held. In 1951 the first on-campus commencement took place. Several community-oriented programs also began in the 1950s. One of these organizations was the Labor Management Citizens Committee, the only one of its kind in Pennsyvlania. Other major events in the 50's included a visit by Eleanor Roosevelt, an American Town Meeting on the Air with Eric Severeid as moderator broadcasted coast to coast from the Wilkes Gymnasium, and on September 27, 1957 the dedication of Stark Hall in honor of Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of the United States Naval Operations. As Dr. Farley wrote, "The early years teemed with the creation of cocurricular organizations, campus activities, publications and faculty community involvements." The post World War II years were indeed golden; for Wilkes College they were years rich in development. But even more significant changes, and challegnes, lay ahead. In the 1960s and early 70s, perhaps reflecting our society, there was growth and change in all facets of the institution. The Wilkes College campus, student enrollment, student involvement and curriculum rapidly expanded. The expansion of Stark Hall in 1964 brought growth and change not only to Wilkes but to Wilkes-Barre. In January the Graduate and Research wings of Stark Hall were completed. This new addition meant advances in the graduate programs offered. Biology, chemistry, physics, preprofessional programs and other graduate studies with Temple University and the Hahnemann Medical Center developed within the next ten years. The growth of Wilkes College directly affected the growth and revitalization of the Wyoming Valley by bringing new industry to the area. In 1964 the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) came to the WilkesBarre area. The Graduate Center, with its technical facilities and educational opportunities for employees of RCA, helped make this area attractive to new industries. In August of 1964 the advancement in the sciences at Wilkes was balanced with an advancement in the performing arts. The Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts provided both the college and the community with excellent facilities for recitals, concerts and plays. Five years later the CPA was given a new addition: the Department of Music. This new facility provided studios, classrooms and rehearal rooms. Each day a new building seemed to appear on the Wilkes Campus. The physical growth of the campus spread across the river, to Kirby Park. In 1964 the college expanded their athletic facilities , building a field house, locker rooms, a football field and stands, a soccer field, tennis courts, a field hockey area and a parking lot on a seven and one-half acre area next to the park. During Homecoming in 1965 the new athletic complex was christened Ralston Field in honor of Dean Ralston. But the growth of the campus did not end there; in April of 1964 construction began on a new c!.ormitol'y and dining hall. Pickering Hall was ment to be a departure from the traditional " barrack" like dormitory. The unusually shaped building provided housing for 268 men and its ad. joining dining hall could seat 700 students. The need for more space was obvious. In 1960, 240 students lived on campus, but the (continued on page 10) The B iologi,cal Society ······· , ......•••• extends congratulations and best wishes to President Breiseth •••• ·.·. and his family I ~::·::::::::::::::::::=::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::; ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: i I.' �The Beacon / Special Inauguration Issue - ,April , ll , 1985 ~ Page 7 �----------- .-~.: -::: . ii II! :t.a\ , Thursday, April 11 Inaugural Picnic - Commuter students' teceptiQn for President Breiseth, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on the Student Center Lawn Jnaugural Dinner - Resident Students' dinner , · honoring the Breiseth family 4: 30 - 6: 30 p.m. in; . ,. the.

' (continued from page 6) number soon began to grow and by 1969, 844 students resided at Wilkes. The overall enrollment of the college also grew during the 60s. In 1960 the student enrollment was 1,171, but that total more than doubled by 190, reaching 2,556. With a larger student body the need for a larger library became clear. Appropriately, a four floor library, with space for 425,000 books, was dedicated to the man who helped make Wilkes College the school it is today. On November 1, 1968 the new library was named "The Eugene Sheldon Farley Library." The commemorative plaque reads: " May all who study in these halls gain vision to inspire, conviction to sustain and wisdom to guide." In the 1960s and early 70s the students at Wilkes College did have that desire to lead, change and>become active. Vietnam, Kent State, a concern for eliminating racial and sexual discrimination, the trial of the Chicago Seven, and Richard Nixon's turbulant presidency are just a few of the events that helped lead to a desire among students to become active and push for change. Protests, sit-ins, and demonstrations appeared on the Wilkes campus. But this desire to revolt did not lead to anarachy rather, during this period, some of the finest student leadership emerged at Wilkes. Activism was the key word, not apathy. Since 1947 women had not been allowed to enter mens dorms and the men could only visit in the lounges. Women.also had to be in their dorm by a certain time, signing in and signing out. Men had to wear jackets at dinner and women never wore jeans. In the mid 60's and 70's this changed. Through protests and demonstrations students let their grievances be known. In the early '70s the traditional_ house Inaugural Speaker f Dr. Frederick Rudolph, Williams College Professor of History Emeritus, will deliver the Inaugural Address at Sunday's Ceremony. President Breiseth describes Rudolph as "a leader in higher education, an old friend, and a son of the Wyoming Valley." Ppge 10 - mothers and house fathers were replaced by Resident Assistants. The college created a Housing Office and the needs of the growing dorm population were soon met, yet the true milestone in student involvement came in '74. Students became members of Faculty standing Committees and are now allowed to participate in debates and vote on issues facing the college. Student life in the '60's was colorful. The students of the 80's have of the " racial sixties" are somewhat accurate. Long hair and protests were common; but as Dean Hoover notes '' ... there has always been a concern of people by people at Wilkes College." That caring and concern surfaced in June 1972 when Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes College experienced one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Agnes was no lady. She was a hurricane that crushed building~, often moving them from their foundations. No part of the Wilkes College campus was left untouched. Water-logged books, swollen to -twice their size, forced apart metal and wooden bookcases. The . molding and floors of buildings left from the early days of the college were buckled beyond repair. The slimy mud covered and coated everything. Dean Hoover describes Ralston field "as if a bomb had been dropped there." The football field had " hard huge chunks of mud all over it," he says. " The bleachers were ripped apart ; it looked like the aftermath of a bomb attack." In all, Agnes , caused 15 million dollars worth of damage and tremendous concern about the college's future. As Dean Hoover says, " The question was, could we open?" • The College's first summer session reopened less than a week and a half after the flood. The recovery effort was dubbed "Operation Snapback" , and by September 29 the college had snapped back from a disaster that could have destroyed the institution. President Francis Michelini provided the positive attitude and leadership the school needed. Students came up on weekends to help clean off the layers of mud coating Wilkes College. They gave up summer jobs and vacations to return to school and help reconstruct the campus. As Dean Hoover says, " there was a tremendous spirit, students reacted fantastically." The college could have rolled over and died after the devastating flood, but Agnes was seen as a chance to make any necessary changes. Newer buildings, like Stark Learning Center were completed and others, such as Evans Hall were built. The student center, the Annette Evans House, Kirby, Bedford and Chase Halls were renovated. Changes in leadership also took place. In 1975 Robert Capin, an alumnus of Wilkes, became the new president. Under president Capins' leadership the college enhanced its fund raising, expanded its curriculum and the campus. In 1985 Wilkes College is still growing and changing. New clubs and organizations develop each semester. The dormitories are slowly becoming coed (quite a change from the resjdence halls in 1947) . Even the curriculum is growing with the addition of a masters program in engineering and a communications department. Obviously the most recent change is our new president, Dr. Christopher Brieseth. With each new change we grow and develop. As Dr. Farley noted in 1960, " The growth of Wilkes College has, demonstrated that vision and generosity are the essential ingredients of growth .. .today Wilkes College looks back only that it may look forward more clearly." The Beacon/Special Inauguration Issue - April 11, 1985 The Academic Procession By Cress Shallers Delegates from Educational institutions and learned societies around the country will come to participate in Sunday's academic procession which will precede the Inauguration ceremony and which will begin at Stark Learning Center at 1:30 p.m. According to Betsy Condron, Inauguration Coordinator, there will be approximately 150 delegates participating. " It's very colorful, " she said, " and very exiciting." All the participants in the procession will be wearing the traditional academic costume inherited from Oxford University, chartered in 1214, which consists of cap, gown and hood. At that time, students and faculty wore robes and hoods like the clergy to signify the close connection between Oxford and the Church. But more importantly, robes and hoods were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings. The mortarboard cap came into use during the 16th century, but scholars disagree on its origin. Two theoreis are that the cap is square like a scholar's books, or the cap is patterned after the quadrangular shape of the Oxford campus. The distinguishing feature of the cap is the color of the tassle, which is black for the holders of bachelor's and master's degrees and may be gold for holders of doctoral degrees and the governing officers of educational institutions. Caps and gowns hav~ been worn at American schools since Colonial times, but it was not until 1885 that they became customary apparel at commencements. By 1895 a code for academic costume was approved by most American universities and colleges. Gowns are traditionally black, although several institutions have authorized doctoral gowns in their school colors. Those worn by bachelors have long, pointed sleeves. Masters wear gowns with closed sleeves, a slit for the arm and an arc cut near the bottom. The doctor's gown features velvet trim down the front and large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper arm. The hood is the most distinctive feature of the academic attire. The length of the hood and the width of its velvet border indicate the level of the degree held. The hood for the master's degree is three and one-half feet long with a three-inch border. The doctor's hood is four feet long and the border is five inches wide. The inner lining of the·hood is in the colors of the institution conferring the degree, while the color of the border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned. At the head of the academic procession will be a color guard and mace bearer. The Wilkes College mace is made of sterling silver throughout. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription " Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre has acted as a melting pot in forming a new and rigorous community of people in many different backgrounds. The theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the (continued on page 12) Congratulations Dr. Breiseth and Family ll' From M.W.

Ppge 11 �The Breiseths ' Winding Road to Wilkes College By Tim Williams In August of 1957 India celebrated its first decade of independence. Christopher N. Breiseth was there. Between his sophomore and junior years at UCLA, Breiseth participated in Project India, a Peace Corps-type program. Project India was established in 1952 to cement relations with the Indian and American people when the two countries were less than harmonious. The Peace Corps wasn't formed until 1971. For Breiseth, Project India was more than an educational experience - it changed his life. In an interview last week, he said he thought he would prepare for the Unitarian Ministry while at UCLA, but his Indian experience chl:l,Pged his mind. As his graduation approached, Breiseth said he wasn't sure about his future ... until three UCLA professors interested him in graduate school. Breiseth said three different faculty members from three different departments nominated him for a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Breiseth received the following, earning the B. Litt. degree in Modern British History from Oxford University, and the Ph.D. in European Intellectual History from Cornell University. One day - October 5, 1962 to be exact while eating lunch at Cornell, Breiseth met his future wife, Jane, who was earning a master's degree in comparative literature. The Breiseths have three children Abigail 16, Erika 14 and Lydia, 4. Fortunately for Brieseth, his family shared his passion for travelling and meeting new people - next stop, Sangamon State Univer- ') ') ) ) ( ( ( ) ) ( ) -- ........,...... sity, Springfield, Illinois. As a professor and chairman of the Department of History at Sangamon, Breiseth took two sabbaticals, one at a California cattle ranch and the other in Europe. Breiseth categorized the semester in Europe as a break. Because he had studied at Oxford, Breiseth took his family to King's College (England) for most of the sabbatical. The family also toured the Continent. In 1980 Breiseth accepted the presidency of Deep Springs College in California. Deep Springs, a two-year college with 24 male students, required Breiseth to take a three-year leave of absence from Sangamon. Because Deep Springs is a fairly selfsufficient cattle ranch removed from civilization, the 24 students and roughly ten faculty members were forced to help with the college's daily function. Abigail and Erika helped, too. Abigail said she milked cows while Erika worked the vegetable garden and babysat. The girls went to school only two or three days On the cover Breiseth family portrait was taken by J.B. Earl. J.B. is a junior Earth and Environmental Science major from Kingston, PA. He is a photographer for the Amnicola, and says he takes pictured mostly as a hobby. a week because of Deep Springs' remote location. Abigail said the ride to Big Pine school was only 45 minutes, but part of the way was through a sometimes treacherous mountain pass. Big Pine's student population was approximately 300, kindergarten through twelfth grade. " You had to be friends with everybody," Abigail said. Big Pine and Deep Springs were very similar. Breiseth said he enjoyed the Deep Springs atmosphere. Deep Springs' holistic education, Breiseth said, is something that benefits the students long after their college days. Because Deep Springs is small, the students are forced to live and cooperate with people they may not like. Deep Springs' students, therefore, learn more than the classic subjects, they learn about life. After Deep Springs, the Breiseth family moved back to Springfield, until Breiseth became the fourth president of Wilkes College in the Fall of 1984. The Breiseths seem to enjoy living in Wilkes-Barre. They say the people are , friendlier here than in Springfield. Abigail and Erika attend Meyers High School, and they say it's their favorite of · the six high schools they've attended during the last six years. Lydia participates in a local day care program located near McClintock Hall. The two oldest children, it seems will finish their secondary education in WilkesBarre. Lydia may spend kindergarten through high school in the area. It appears the Breiseth family is happy here. Breiseth has seen the world, and now h~ may finally settle down. Procession (continued from page 10) upper part of the bowl: Unity Amidst Diversity. Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt, flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a mine is set in the center of the flame to commemorate the origin of the community and the college in its coal mining past. During the ceremony of investiture, Patricia Davies, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Robert S. Capin, President Emeritus, will present the chain of office to the fourth president of Wilkes College. The links of the sterling silver chain are -alternating silver bowls and the gilt flames repeating the.motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of the College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns, to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak . leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the college. By all predictions, the academic procession will be a sight not to be missed. WILKES COLLEGE Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy and the staff of Wilkes College Division of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education extend their heartiest congratulations to Dr. Christopher N.

Below is a copy of the speech oolivered by Dean Hart~n. ·1 am grateful for the opportunity to bring greetings to President Breiseth from the faculty and administration. Individually and collectively, we have benefited most from your presence at the college . And we have responded enthusiastically to your leadership style which has infused all. of us with energy and optimism. It was Will Rogers who said. 'Even if you (sic) are on the right track, we will gel run over if we just sit there: In many ways this could serve as a commentary on Wilkes during the 1960s. We were on the right track. and if not exactly sitting. we were at best plodding along. looking over our shoulders. and listening to a whistle which was getting louder and louder . What we needed was a Chris Breiseth to breathe life into dry bones. to administer adrenalin. lo gel the juices nowing again . We are still on the right track. but now we can see our destination. and we have built a head of steam that will gel us there on schedule. President Breiseth brought to us an ability to discern what· is vital in the Wilkes tradition and what is :ncruslalion that must be chipped away to allow oxygen lo reach the brain and to restore health and vigor to a body which was languishing . Lines of communication were opened immediately throughout the campus . And the messages which began to now were supportive, positive, enthusiastic. and optimistic. In a few short months, it wis easy to detect a new spirit and a heightened morale . Faculty and administrators responded eagerly to the participatory style of the new president. It was the perfect climate in which to launch a major effort involving all the constituencies of Wilkes. lo redefine the mission of the college-and to produce a plan which would allow faculty to relate to mission through periodic peer evaluation in a supportive and developmental context. Wilkes has become an exciting place to be in 1965. And I predict that the excitement will continue . , I do not believe that the honeymoon is over . I believe we have found a dynamic president who offers precisely what is needed to lead Wilkes College into the 21st century . . True. he has some weaknesses. He is often at a loss for words. and his compulsion lo always be precisely on time for meetings is disturbing. But these small problems we can overlook in return for the gin we have received . Chris, the faculty and administration welcome you to Wilkes College. congratulate you on this special occasion. and extend our very best wishes for a long and productive tenure as president.· -... ' . ' Although the Dean's remarks were supposedly representative of the views of the faculty and administration, they also reflected on Wilkes College as a whole. Frankly, we were embarrassed. President Breiseth's Inauguration ceremony was meant to be a celebration. Whtie we certainly share Dean Hartdagen's view that President Breiseth's style has "infused aH of us with energy and optimism ," we were offen<Ed by his later reference to the condition of Wilkes College unca- the Capin ministration. Many of us have spent at least half of our Wilkes careers unoor Presloont Gap in. We~ his administration not as one which was uat best plockting along," but rather as one which provided much-needed stability for this college during a time of economic upheaval. While we also share Dean Hartdagen's apparent enthusiasm for the new administration, we feel that his comments about the "languishing" bOOt of a past Wilkes College were inappropriate at a time of celebration. "Enthusiasm ," "optimism," "new spirit" and "heightened morale" are most oofinitely a product of Presioont Breiseth's administration. But they are also the inevitable prooucts of change. We agree that "Wilkes has become an exciting place to be in 1985... We agree that the "excitement will continue." But we won't forget, as our Special Inauguration Issue illustrated, that this promising forecast is the direct result of the work and dedication of Wilkes' three-previous presidents. As ooes the Dean, we extend our very best wishes to Dr. Breiseth for a long and productive tenure as president. ,Janee Eyerman Robert Fernande2 Joseph E.

Williams Student Finds Little Help To the Editor: 6roouation is only a month ~fJof . and among a minority of seniors who will have a job upon graduation. After a long search with almost no help from Career Services, I found a job. finding a job mfl,f have been easier if I had a place to~ for information, but the only information I received from Career Services was a book with the names of companies throughout the country. Ateacher told me that I wouldn't find much ,information at Career Services. The t~er said my best bet would be to ~ to a phone book for names and intresses. This information was of no help to me, and it won't be to anyone else looking for a job. I also wouldn't have had this much -trouble if I were at Kings, Bucknell , Scranton, and a number of other schools. These schools have the same recruiting are.a that Wilkes has ( including Phillllllphia, New York, and Washington). But these schools have abou't 25 companies, 12 which _are national, coming to review Business, Economics, and Marketing students. The electrical , material, and · cnemical engineers have many interview opportunities in each of their many subdivisions. Accounting majors at each I am of these schools interview with at least 6 of the Big 8, 5 other national firms, and about 1O regional and national firms. Education and English majors also have career opportunttles at these schools. They have several interviews In their fields. If their career servtces office writes to a company who. isn't able to come for an interview but is still interested in looking at these students, they inform the students and try to set up office interviews. Many of these schools also help juniors find summer jobs that may 188:1 to full time positions. for many seniors, Career Services is nothing more than a place to hold references, and sometimes to help prepare resumes. I visited the office 10 times last semester and never had anyone offer to help. When I asked for more 1nformat1on than the book I was given, I was rudely told to look throucjl a pile of papers. I'm looking for a job , and It Is career Services' job to try to help me. It should at least try to help, not put oown stU<Ents· resumes like It has oone to several of my friends. The teachers try to help students, and they even try to recruit companies. And they politely offer ways to help with resumes. They oon't have the time to oo career Services' job, too. Name withheld. Student Dislikes Calendar To the Editor: not just a string of pretty faces. Why not find the best, the brightest and even a pretty face, but let's not have 24 pretty races? I recently viewed an episode of the Phil Donahue Show in which his guests were physically marred or handicapped after birth. I wish all 16 of you who signed the letter cou Id have seen the show. You would h8ve realizeit that flaunting your looks is cruel and rude. Just because 8od created you the WrJo/ you are, you .have no right to represent this college as "The Men and Women of Wilkes." I feel very sorry for you self-gratifying people. I think you ( 16) are out to increase your e1JJS and pat yourselves on the back. If some of you were ever physically marred sometime is your life, I feel some of your lives would be over. You live for your looks and that is pitiful. I have no respect for those of you who live for your looks. Am I to understand that because I am not as attractive as you ( i 6). that I mn not a "Man or Woman of Wilkesr I suggest you rethink your statements and take a look at yourselves. You appear to be shallow people. 8e6Uty is skin deep, so I guess you are shallow people. I am intressing this letter to the 16 students who signed the letter to the editor concerning the Men and Women of Wilkes calendars. I would like to ~ress a few points in your letter. You asked why Wilkes should be any less open to change than Rutgers, Lafayette and Penn State. Chm,ge is inevitable, but on a campus the size of Wilkes (several 10,000's smaller in population), change must be in moderation to the· size of the college. Change can fail on a large campus with hardly any effects. This is not so for Wilkes. Wilkes is not Rutgers, Lafayette and Penn State. Stop trying to make it something that it's not. If you want a college like Rut~rs, Lafayette or Penn State, transfer there! Another point I would like to comment on is the fact that you claim that the people on the calendars are a true cross section of the campus population. If these people are a true cross section, why are they all supposedly good looking? Why should Wilkes' cross section be only good looking people? Is the football player the best player, or is the dean's list stuoont the smartest student on campus? I doubt it. Let's get a true cross section, • l • • ." • ti I • •. • 1 • , t • • L An Unattractive Wilkes Co-ed t t I. • • • • t I • ti • •· • • • • • • " • • ' " '- ~ "' " • -"- �PAGE FOUR Elections Continued from p.1 the quote from the S6 constitution is taken out of context. The committee voted that the question of enoorsement applies only to an S6 president enoorsing another candidate for S6 president. Cress Shallers, the other candidate for IRHC pres1dent and captain of the tennis team , was unable to attend the forum due to a previously scheduled tennis match in Williamsport. Shelly Urban, current S6 p~esldent, reoo Shallers' prepared statement at the forum. Yesterday afternoon, Kramer, in an attempt to re-contest the S0 election, protested to both Dean Hoover and President Breiseth that a:cording to Article Vil ,.section I, Item F of the S0 constitution, Eric Chase was never eligible to be nominated for the off1ce of president. Item F reoos: "The nominee must be at least a sophomore representative and have served at least one term." Chase is currently a freshman, but has served the required one term. According to Kramer, although Chase was elected to be a sophomore rep at a meet ing held on Thursday , March 28, he hoo alreoo; been nominated for S0 president on March 25. Kramer said that she was mtXil aware of this rule yesterday. This rule is listed in the Handbook. According to Lisa Berkoski, co-chairman of the Elections Committee , it is too late to contest on this point. The Campaign and Election Rules state, "If any candidate wishes to contest an election , he or she must oo so before noon of the day following the election." Berkoski said that if this point hoo been included in the letter, it would have been considered by the committee. "Too much of the S0 constitution is open to personal interpretation," said Kramer. "My goal is to make students more aware of the ambiguity in the constitution." Bob Gunderson ~reed that there is a problem. "The contestment did open our eyes to a lot of things that deserve attention ," he said. Eric Chase was sworn in as the new S0 president at last night's regular S0 meeting. Student Government also elected the following officers for the 1985-86 year: Vice-president - caryt Goldsmith Corresponding Secreatry Michaelene Coffee Treasurer - Stacey Toslosky Reelections for IRHC president and officers will take place this Thursday from 11 a.m. to I p.m. in Stark Lobby and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Pickering Hall.

Believe It or Not! Mild Mannered Music Student Doubles as Beauty Queen by &tiJ SteidJer l here's something special about Mary Beth Zuvich. She has an air of sophistication and confidence about her that is quick Jy detectable. Th is combination , along with her musical talent, has helped her to capture the title of Miss Northeastern Pennslylvonia. Mary Beth is currently a senior music major at Wilkes College. Her cl~ schedule, along with her daily quest for perfection, is demanding, yet it is something Mary Beth has chosen to oo, even if it did mean "going against the oovice of others." Before entering college, Mary Beth was presented with a difficult decision. If she were to major in music, it would most 1ikely require a,jjitional training after college, which of course means more money. (Although she is on a scholarship at Wilkes for clarinet and voice, there is no promise of future scholarships.) "The alternative route," said Mary Beth, "would have been to major in business or accounting." This would have allowed her to find work directly out of college and in turn would WF EO E R KE . C -E NA D sT present less of a financial burden. But Mary Beth chose the first route because it is something she truly wants to pursue. This choice put significant financial pressure on her, yet she was, and stm is, determined to work her way through the temporary roooblock. Mary Beth immediately sought ways in which she could lessen the finocial burden. She looked into numerous scholarships and was introi.Jced to the idea of competing for Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania. A friend who was also attending Wilkes and planning to compete for the title mentioned to Mary Beth she thought she would have a chance. At first, Mary Beth was skeptical about the idea. She · said it had a lot to oo with the im~ she hoo of beauty p~ts. All too often beauty pageants are looked upon negatively due to the nature of the contest. However. Mary Beth discovered that the Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania pageant emphasized talent and that the final oocision rested heavily on the j~'s interviews with the contestants. This is entirely different from e competition such as Miss U.S.A., which, lDXlrding to M8r)' Beth, along with whet M8r)' Beth felt bases its <ECision on the were successful interviews with swimsuit competition.

Confusing Room Selection Made Less Confusing by Kathy Hyde All college stuoonts are frequent ly . pl~ed by mind-b<qJling questions concerning their futures. Will I graduate on time? Will I get a j ob? Will I oofault on my student loan? Among these is the annually recurring question foced _by those students who choose.Jo Iive on campus: "Where the hell am f going to live next year?" This question is conveniently resolved every spring by a pr ocess which the Residence Life Office has appropriately termed "Room Selection." Sounds pretty fundamental. Everyone j ust 'selects rooms' as the name implies, right? If only it were that simple. In an effort to make r oom selection as fair as is humanly possible to all those &g:lr oorm students ( about 800, all of whom want to move into the same Io rooms), the process has snowballed into one of the most complicated endeavors known to mankind. Well, at least it seems that way to RA's , students and housing directors. It is baffling. So, most confused students naturally go to their RA's to clear up their problems: Student: "Hi. I have a small question about r oom selection. RA: "Sure, come on in." Student: "Okay , here IJ)eS. want to live in 217 next year and I want Betty to be my r oommate , but Joann wants to live there with Andrea, but I've lived here longer than Joann, even if she is a junior and I'm and I will want to room together. - The person with the Well?" most living time in the RA: Oh my God!

This explains why the sight of first shot at it because she's a panic-stricken RA making a oloor and has seniority in the moo dash for the housing office oorm? ...

There are just a few more spec1fics that help complicate this procedure: Roommates: If a person either stftys in his room or picks a room in the lottery, he has fi r st choice over the ilEOtity of his roommate. ( So make fr iends with. . an upperclassman who picks a ,;,xx1 number). -If you pick a room and oon' t know who you want for a roommate, someone will be "assigned" to you over the summer .

In siltuon to stoo,,ing Shibori in Hiroyuki's studio, Fu11er was able to learn a ~ t deal about Japanese culture ,through his daily experiences. While Fu11er lived with Hiroyuki, his wife Chikako and his two children, Natsu (eight years old), and Mak1to ( 10 years old), he became very interested in the children and their schooling bec8use of his background in art education. One c&1' he fdually went to observe the C18SSI OOlll5 which he found "fascinating.· fu11er se1d, "In the Japanese culture, education is considered primary and the Japanese put a great deal of emphasis on education.

After Fuller visited the elementary school, he was invited by a junior high school tem::her to talk to the stuclents currently learning English. The purpose of the talk was so the students could hear the language being spoken. According to Fuller, "It was difficult for these chil<ren to learn the language, because although they learn the grammar, they rarely get a chance to use the language." These experiences, said Fuller, were n1at, "but they · were an tn mtttion to my primary reason of being there, wh1ch was to st~ Sh1bor1."

Program OIiers 'Quick' Credit by Maggie Vojtko On Sunday, May 20, · 1984, Wilkes College conferred degrees on 473 undergrEK!uates Twenty-five of these groouates were seemg the Wilkes campus for the first time These students earned their degrees through the Wilkes College Weekender Program. The Weekender Program provides the upper-division courses that allow graduates from two-year institutions to complete their b helor·s degrees by taking classes only on weekends. The Weekend College meets every third weekend on the campus of Keystone Junior College in La Plume. There are three different sessions arranged over the course of a calendar year, and a student can carry as many as nine credits during a session. Majors are offered in occounting, business ooministration , economics , psychology and sociology. Majors in the humanities and other social sciences are also available as student interests dictate. Last summer, I joined the ranks of Wilkes Weekender College students. I hoo discovered that I still needed to fit two earth and environmental science classes into my schedule.

Student Government Seeks ·More Funds . by Ale1 Kassay It's the begi.n.ni.ng of another year of learning. growth. and. of course. fu.n ~ere at Wilkes College. Maybe it's tim.e to take a look at one of the groups that help m.ate student life at Wiltes what it is. Student Gover.nm.e.nt (SG) plays a major role in campus life. Before .reporting the facts about the fir.st meeting of SG for this academic year. a definition of this o.rga.nizatio.n is .necessary. SG is a campus orga.nizatio.n .ru.n by students for the benefit of the entire student body. It acts as an agency for im.plementi.ng a.nd adjusting policy and activity to improve student life. SG consists of si1 elected representatives from. each class. one president from each class. Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council presidents a.nd SG president. SG prepares a student activities budget which m.ust be approved by President Christopher Breiseth and adhered to by the SG officers. The SG office is located o.n the third floor of the student center and is open Monday through Friday. 10 a.m. . to 4 p.m. SG m.eeti.ngs a.re held Mondays at 6:30 p.m.. The first order o business for SG this year was the preparation of a .ne budget. At the summe meeting. SG President Eric Chase stressed the im.po.rt&Jlce of watching spending because last ye SG we.nt over its budget. Thi year may also bring change i.n the SG con.stitution sine the present one was ratifie back i.n 1977; progress means change. -sG is looking to ratify changes in election procedures. Raising the student activity fee from $'.)0 to $6'.) was also discussed at the summer meeting . Reasons for .raising the am.ou.nt a.re to ensure that SG will not exceed its budget agai.n this year. The fee has been $'.)0 for almost eight yea.rs. and SG is not immune to inflation. Eve.n if the fee goes up to $6'.). it will still be o.ne of the lowest i.n the area. Penn State students pay a.round $12'.t and King's College students pay around $7'.5. Amy Wideme.r is now the director of the student center and student activities director . She seems to be excited about her new position. a.nd m.a.ny a.re hoping to see new activities developed under her command. coat. oa pq• J. �PAGE nro by The Wiltes faculty participated in its first retreat at Keystone Junior College this past weekend. The most important order of business was the discussion and subsequent .ratification of the one-page Mission Statement. This statement. in addition to its 50-page parent document. will define Wiltes College to itself and the public. The effort to define Wiltes' mission got off to a good st&rt. Last f &11. the Mission Task Force toot great pains to involve the entire campus community in the creation of the document. However. we wonder if the process b.rote down some last weekend. D.ra.ft • 6 of the one-page statement was put ,before the f acuity last weekend for the first and last time with the provision that the Board of Trustees ezpects the .ratified statement in two weets. The faculty was b.rote.n down into small discussion g.roups and given approximately -Cl minutes to suggest amendments which would then be presented to the faculty as a body and voted upon. The president reported over 100 stylistic problems. In fact. one group refused to discuss the document until it was tot&lly rewritten. However. the statement had to be approved Apparently to avoid slowing the ratification p.rocess. President Breiseth formed a five-pe.rson committee to rewrite the document based upon the faculty · suggestions. Was this the best way to ensure that the fin&l document would be what the faculty wanted. however? Two of the five committee members had previously served on the Mission Tast Force that had origin&lly written the document. This .raised the question whether the faculty's full intent would be incorporated into the fin&l statement. These questions might have been justified. For example. the fin&l sentence in Draft #6 includes the college motto "unity amidst diversity ." One f acuity member pointed out that if this phrase were included, some background information would have to be provided. Another faculty member felt that it should be omitted because the meaning has been lost. Nevertheless. no agreement was reached. and the p.roblem was referred to the committee. The result? The phrase "unity amidst diversity" is included in the fin&l d.ra.ft. but without explanation . .Another event mates us question whether the one-page statement was .railroaded through the faculty . A faculty member questioned the relationship between the 50-page document and the one-page statement. Was the faculty accepting the details of the '.)0-page document when voting upon the one-page statement? President Breiseth did not answer the question directly. He c&lled the 50-page document a "working document." But should not the disagreements surrounding the internal, working document be resolved before the one-page public statement is .ratified? Given the consequence of the Missi(>n Statement and the disagreement surrounding its ratification. the administration seemed disproportionately concerned with p.rocess as opposed to results. particularly since the f acuity will be primarily responsible for implementing the mission . Perhaps the administration could have ta.ten its cue from Friday night's· speaker at the retreat. Dr. Frances Ferguson of Bucknell University. She stressed the need for synthesis and integration . At the beginning of the mission process, good efforts were made to bring together &11 parts of the cam.pus community. That effort should have been carried through to the end. Wilkes College, as an institution of higher learning which . as Ute mission statement says. "seeks to increase student's capacity to serve others with intelligence. imagination. and integrity" must also be committed to serving itself with analysis and synthesis as opposed to process.

We freshmen t time from our summers spend three fun-filled s of scavenger hunts and rt bard" lecwres while iag ia the lu1.ury mmodations of Evans . Just o.ae short month fore we vere the high, the ·1hty, the graduating iors. Nov, suddenn,, we re shot down. We were freshmen. On the more serious ide. though, orientation was aaood cha.ace to meet other me.a and to get some ■a of where everything is. a result, perhaps we did look quite as much like men searching rately for the right om on the first day of . A.ad after we found cwsrooms, it was nice to a familiar, if not · odly, face from · otatio.a. Then came August 1-•the day resident lteshmen were to move in . le arrived and moved our loads of possessions into r bare rooms. hoping that ft would like our roommates, our dorms, the people nen door and "college life" itself. Too soon came the time most students ~n.d parents alike dreaded: the time to say good-bye. Perhaps some of · us were thinking, "Free at la.st!" but for most of us. the proverbial butterflies in our stomachs became more and more violent while a feeling of impending doom began to overtake us. Later that night O1,1r R.A.s took those of us who were willing to "Playfun" at the gym. Walking into a gym full of cheering. clapping upperclassmen was probably not the most intelliaent thing any of us had ever done, but with the help of the "Wilkes-tateers" we soon got into the spirit of things, got to meet some new people and also released a bit of the tension acquired that day . After a night on a mattress that probably wasn't as comfortable as the one at home, we spent Tuesday on various activities pluned for us, such as a slide show, a. meeting with upperclassmen in our majors, a. picnic and a perform.a.Ace by Marty Bear. Slowly our dorm rooms were becoming homier and more comfortable. and we met the upperclassmen who were moving in. Then came August 28--the first day of classes. Here was the day we had waited for. the day we had withstood the bookstore lines and registrar's office chaos for. Again the butterflies arose as we made our way from class to class. schedules in hand. hoping that we didn't look too silly as we walked into the wrong classrooms and that we would get to the right rooms at the right time . As the day wore on. our fears were eased by the discovery that our professors are nice people who aren't out to give us more work thu we cu handle and that our schedules are not quite as difficult as we thought they were. Ea.ch day we became more comfortable. Dr. Breiseth welcomed us to Wilkes on Thursday. and on Friday there was a beach party at the gym. As we meet more people and acclimate ourselves to Wilkes, the closeness of this college becomes apparent. Professors seem ready to is wetco f&it t.o "We arrived ud moved our carloads of possessions..." answer uy questions, 84d dormmates are always ready to helo if needed. The college experience is one that we have all prepared for, looked forward to or perhaps even dreaded for a 1O0.g time. And 0.ow that it has finally arrived, we, the class of 1989. will probably survive it and perhaps-eve0. enjoy it.

The stateme.nt. which says, "Potential benefits to the curriculum may derive from the puHing together , of related departments into schools. and such a structure should be carefully considered." is the focal point of the issue . When questioned about this possibility. President Christopher ' · Breiseth responded. "There is no plan at the present time for Wilkes 1 becoming a university." However. Breiseth did admit that he is looting into the matter . "I have asked to get some information from the State on just what processes we would have to go through." Breiseth also said that the matter is being discussed informa11y in administrative circles. Breiseth noted the benefits of Wilk.es· becoming a university. "It would almost instantly convey the graduate mission of the institution . It might also convey the breadth of our curriculum. both in the liberal arts and the professional programs. both graduate and undergraduate." Breiseth said. The president said. "Just the title ·universlty' would suggest the size. complexity, richness of the curriculum. and the type of students that we·re serving, both undergraduate and graduate level. more than the word ·coUege,' which does suggest an undergraduate mission for the full -time student." The term "university," applied to Wilk.es. brings to mind the question of size. Universities are normally considered to be 1arge institutions; Wilk.es is generally considered a small campus. Breiseth disagrees with this perception . "I think Wilkes is a more complex. richer institution in its curriculum than a lot of people. even people fairly close to the institution. appreciate . We have close to 3.000 students who are enro11ed in at least one course working toward a degree. That's a large operation," Breiseth said. The president has not taken a stand on the issue. "I'm not sure where I stand. The identity for this community and the alumni. as well for the students who are enro11ed here now. is with Wilkes College. I don't think you can give that up lightly," Breiseth said. "After you write this. it would be interesting to see if it generates interest," Breiseth said. �PAta TW Editorial Frie ndly advice ... Consider this as ~•isdom for freshmen and an admonition tor upperclassmen. w·e as students must remember that it's easy to critidze Wilkes College. just as its easy to criticize any institution. "There's too much bureaucracy." "The Finance Office is hostile." "Caf food is inedible ." "My prof is a jerk." "There's nothing to do ." And the list goes on . But if one stops to think. about Wilk.es. it's not such a bad place. In fact. Wilkes can be a ter.r ific place. But the key to a successful tenure at Wilk.es is attitude . To use a somewhat hackneyed expression . you get out of Wilt.es what you put into Wilk.es. Having thought about Wilk.es and lived and studied here for three years. I have found several characteristics particularly noteworthy . First of all Wilk.es has a good faculty . for the most part. our teachers are willing and eager to match any student's enthusiasm for learning. In my days here. professors have played an integral role in my growth as a person . One indication of the faculty's willingness to serve students is their practice of holding regular office hours. Office hours make professors who might not otherwise be . available vecy accessible to students. Second. in a job mart.et which is increasingly looking for liberally educated students. the core curriculum here at Wilkes. if taken seriously. makes a liberal education accessible to students of evecy major. The "market value" of an engineer. for example. who can write and speak intelligently greatly increases. In addition to the core curriculum. the availability of internships and practical experience make it possible for a student to gain valuable experience. Third. students at Wilk.es have virtually unlimited potential to make changes and improvements. They simply need motivation. conviction. a.f\d a sensible plan of action to effect change. For instance. several years ago. students changed the grading system. They also lobbied for a fall Break and won . Essentially, students can change anything that they're willing to work for. However. it's .not that simple on ce one graduates. alas. Th is is not a "How to mature at Wilkes" sermon. if you're suspicious. lt is simply friendly advice f .rom one who has tried to take full advantage of the things Wilk.es has to offer. Let me stress that nothing is changed or improved by lamenting the supposed lack of activities on campus. You get out of Wilk.es what you put into Wilk.es.

Gerdts on September 19 at 8 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. The lecture will be held in conjunction with tbe exhibit of American impressionist painters at the So.rdoni Art Gallery. The exhibit opened September 7. William Gerdts' most recent wort. American Impression.ism. follows the development of the American impressionist movement as it developed into two distinctive schools. The Ash Can school focused on the harsh realities of the growing American metropolis. whHe the Boston school produced more subtle. genteel works portraying upper or middle class America. The exhibit. entitled "Directions in American Painting. 187' to 192,." will present works which adhere to either school. The exhibit demonstrates that while the origins of impressionism can be attributed to Eu.rope. the culmination of the form must be credited to America. Although many of the worts show the influence of the Europeans. including Degas. Monet and Renior. it is possible to trace the many innovative directions taken by Americans such as Paxton. C&ssatt.

Communications nt serves as a.a la for such fields as broadcasting. · mand theatre . The communications at Wilk:es will be &rly defined within ng year. Internships and field e1:perience a.re still necessary i.a.gredients. Tucker feels students need to get more involved with communications-related activities such as the Beacon. the Speech and Debate Union. WCLH and broadcasting. Unlike fields such as accounting. communications has no "Big 8" firms that come searching for the best communications students. Therefore. said Tucker. "You need to be pushy ." Tucker notes that even though Communications is now separate from La.nguage and Literature as a department. Communications will not become simply "knob-twisting and buttonpushi.a.g ." The student will still have to write. create and I.hin t. Wilkes College will not become "Wilkes Technical Institute," according to Tucker. At Wlites. the student has an opportunity to learn much more in communications due to the .relativelv small number of students in the program, as compared to the number of students a.t other colleges. Many colleges. accordi.a.g to Tucker. tell fr-eshmen that they had "better assume it to be a five-year program," due to the line-up fo.r upper-level courses and internships. This problem does not exist at Wilkes. which offers facilities that can be utilized by students of all tevels. Tucker. whose office is located i.a. Capin Hall.

The author has requested uonymity. Editor: d and nE Al ga The following is offered as a possible revisioc. of the Colleae Mission Statement. Wilkes College is an independent. non-denominational college that forges the lint between a quality libe.tal arts ud sciences education. professional pre pa.ration. a..nd service. Students. faculty. curriculum. a..nd etti-acurricular activities work together to forge this union a..nd its happy results: graduates ready a..nd wi11iAg to meet the challenges of our ever-changing world and fully prepared for graduate or professional school. Combining liberal learning. professional preparation. and service is basic to success. but it is no small task. Wilkes accomplishes it by starting with motivated students and a highly qualified a.o.d dedicated faculty . Wilkes has a long history of accepting students of diverse ba.ctgrou.nds who are then challenged by the faculty to excel and succeed. The low . student-:faculty ratio at Wilkes and the faculty 's emphasis on teaching assur e each student the opportunity to wort closely with the faculty . Teachers go out of their way to foster every studen t's academic and personal growth . Students and faculty o.eed a strong curr iculum so graduates a.re pre pa.red for full service in the modern world. Wilkes has that strong curriculum. Students cao. major in the humuit.ies, the natural. physical. and social sciences. or in quality programs in such varied fields as accouo.ting. business. communications. computer science. engineering. music. the health sciences. and nursing . But whatever the major. each student is required to take courses in the traditional disciplines. Wilkes recently bas reaffirmed its long-standing commitmeo.t to this core curriculum. Core courses are designed to ensure that ea.ch student writes and speaks effectively. works successfully with mathematical concepts. a..nd acquires computer literacy. Additionally, while the core Coste.rs critical and creative thought. the faculty strives to see that au students grasp the conn~ctio~s that unite all knowledge--and ma.o.kind. Of course. students still can tailor their programs with electives to match their particular needs and interests. Theoretical class.room knowledge is important. but practical application of this knowledge is crucial for students to further develop their abilites and serve their fellow man with inte11igence and imagination . Such a balance of the theoretical a.o.d practical is a hallmark of a Wilkes education. Teachers encourage students to use what they learn by serving internships ud by participating in cooperative education with local firms. The wide range of extracurricular activities (including musical performances. athletics. radio and television broadcasting. student government. debate. drama. social service organizations. the College o.ewspaper. and various clubs) at Wilkes also invite students to discover that knowledge is .not to be hoarded but shared and applied to benefit all. Wilkes emphasizes the application of knowledge by an.other vital part of its mission: the College's own service to Northeastern Pen.o.sylvao.ia. Wilkes en.cour ages the fio.e arts and the performing arts with its art gallery. its modern. well-equipped theatre . and its many regularly scheduled cultural events. The College libr ary is a comprehensive resource cen ter for the r egion , while the entire College is a regional center for en2ineerin2 . science . and tecbnolo2v . Wilkes's Small Business Development Center and Institute for Regional Affairs serve the community's businesses. Of course. students are given every opportunity to help Wilk.es serve its community . Although primarily an undergraduate school. Wilkes provides another important service by offering graduate degr~es. Teachers io. the area cao. earn master's degrees io. education. and in the humanities. social sciences. and sciences. Other professioo.als are served by master's programs io. busio.ess administration. electrical engineering. engineering and applied sciences. and health administration . Wilkes also has a growing continuing education program for learners of all ages. Liberal learning, professional preparation. and service . With these goals motivating its actioo.s, Wilkes College approaches the twenty-first century dedicated to forging "uo.ity amidst diversit "the Colle e motto .

Minnesota. after coaching and teaching at Carleton CoUege for six years. At Carleton. an academically competitive school of 1.no swdents. Sharp was the women's field hoc.key and basketball coach She also taught physical education and was the athletic trai.ner there. When ask ed. "Why Wilk.es?" Sharp smiled and said, "I liked what I heard about the administration and their support of athletics and their desire to make the school better to.own both academically and athletically ." Sharp is a strong believer in athletics and finds it an important factor in an instiWtion such as Wilk.es . At Wilk.es she finds an emphasis on academics as well as on athletics . Another reason for her move east was that she only had one year left at Carleton and was eager to move to an area where field hockey is b Runners eWare by Bill Buzza With the beautiful weather that we have been experiencing and with the current fitness craze. more and mo.re people at Wilk.es have been putting •.Jo~, ,their books and laci11 ~ 1 : · their jogging shoes un t SUNY tournament a.tlmcnt common to nvi ..-:1 1oggers is shin splint \ Atth,,ugh not very serious it taken care of, this injury is extremely painful.

"The r-ieg policy was the ction that was lifted. resident will be able to a quarter-keg party if he is of legal age, unless b.e was a resident of Sterling Hall last year," Douris said. Several restrictions have .not been lifted. Sterling residents are forbidden to have alcohol-related social functions involving the entire dorm. Also, the profits from the dorm's soda vendin g machine viU still be donated to a local organization working against alcohol abuse. These restrictions are expected to be lifted on .December 20 of this year.

"I would say that there were no objections to it. The members of the Cou.ncil felt it was sensible and right," Ralston. said. When asked what impact this decision. might have on the campus.

According to Meyers, "The Admissions Office is designed to do the formal, professional recruiting wort . The.re is no question. that Dr. Wuori set up a good system and the Admissions staff are well-chosen and well-schooled. · "But the.re has to be somethin.g that everyon.e i.t1 every department can do u get personally involved," said Meyers. "For example. a biology professor should take every opportunity to ta.tk to local high school students interested in biology." Meyers went o.n to e1:pl&i11 why this involvement is necessary. "Admissioiis is a tough job. The .reasons a.re in the n.ewspape.r. There just aren't as many college-age students to .recruit," said Meyers. "Every college has the same piece of literature," said Meyers. "It is a finely tuned, neat package i.n a \Tiewboo.k. Wiltes .needs to go further than that and be able to tell students why they should be here by telling them why we like it here," Meyers continued. "Jhe message of Wiltes College has to be personal and that we ca.re," said Meyers. "The crass side of it is that we're going to fill up the classes regardless." said Meyers. "But I think the.re's more to it than that. We have to somehow person.alizE this message." added Meyers. 'Tm here to orchestrate this effort. but I don't have a.ny special magic. The entire campus must be involved in the .recruiting technique . We can do this creatively. imaginatively and oersonally." said Mevers "It'll be an interesting year," said Meyers. lnS1a 111111 IIICII~ Football team wins first opener since ·79_ Homecoming plans revealed. The New WCLH? 'Jn1s..-e Kuni clue revealed_ �PAGE TWO Editorial Gum l1as Professor speaks out cracking to go To Tho Edttor: Every t1.ow and then I get the imp.rcssiot1. that stude1tts are not terribly eager to attend class. IA fact. in many cases they seem to dread the experience. Apparently to bear the suffering. many students may be seen entering the classroom armed with candy. gum. no-doz. soda. coffee. and the list goes on. I'm not sure what the relationship is between these "fixes" and class. but the use of such devices contributes to class.room noise pollution. Classroom 1toise pollution. you ask.? Yes. classroom noise pollution. That ever-growing spectre that is haunti1tg America's classrooms. It assumes various disguises. For instance. beverages are commonly transported to class. Although the noise pollution facto.r is .relatively low in this case. various sounds will accompany said beverages: an aluminum can cli1tks against a desk.. ice rattles in a cup. the lid on a styrofoam coffee cup squeaks. Inevitably. said beverage spills and finds its way to boots. papers. des.t. floor. and beverage consumer. But this we can bear. There's another disguise we're all familiar with: the crunching noise of a cao.dy w.rappe.r. And the noise is further prolonged because the person wh o is trying to u1tw.rap the candy does it slowly. so as not to make more noise. Thus. there is twice as much noise fo.r twice as long. But even. this we can bea.r. But there·s one disguise we cannot bear. l/ hat is this fo.rm of classroom noise pollution? GUM CRACIINGI You .tnow. that sound that people make wb.e.n they have gum in thei.r mouths (And of cou.rse. the chewing sounds that accompany said gum cracking aren't terribly pleasant eithe.r). Granted, some people aren't bothered by gum cracking. But then some people aren't bothered by Motley C.rue at 1~0 decibels. But to each his ow1t . Lets try to hold down the classroom noise pollution and make life in the classroom a more academic experience. Granted. we're .not always excited about going to class. But is it 1tot conceivable the p.rofesso.r might have something valuable to say. or that some students might want to hear him? 1-------------------------1 1985 - 86 Publication Schedule fall Sea ester September October October October October November November November December spripa se ■eatec 26 3 10 24 31 7 14 21 s January January February February February March March March April April April 23 30 6 13 20 6 13 20 10 17 24 I extend congratulations to the Editor for the fine quality of wr iting exhibited in her editorial on page 2 of the September ~.198~ issue of The Beacon. -We shall loot. forward to ongoing examples of such eloquent use of English in future issues of the college newspaper. At the same time I do wish to take exception to a few 11oints made in that editorial regarding the history of the Missiot1. Task Force and its workings. the t1.ature of the faculty retreat, and its outcome. f'or it1.stat1.ce, the mate.rial included in the '.>0-page inte.rt1.&1 wo.rkit1.g document did indeed .represent a distillation of the findings collected for about a year on the mission of the college as perceived by students. faculty. administration . alumni and the Board of Trustees. Surveys of various sorts among these constituents we.re ta.ken seriously and a profou.nd effort made to .reflect the opinions and input from all sectors. Public hearings on the working document clearly aimed at combining "analysis and synthesis" so as not to misrepresent the College to itself or to others. As a membe.r of the original Mission Task Force I was .rathe.r amazed at the amount of self-flagellation we at the College we.re willing to bear as we examined and exposed weaknesses while we avoided boasting about our strengths. It is indeed a pity that there is .no easy or effective vay to co1tvey the seriousness with which the Task Fo.rce took a most detailed look at where we've been. and whe.re we are going as an institution of highe.r learning. At no time did the administration attempt to cove.r up, gloss over. or color the honesty with which those discussioAs proceeded. To suggest that the inten t of the administration at the retreat was to "railroad" the ot1.e page Mission Statement merely indicates the lack of unde.rst&tl.ding o.r insight that comes from seeing only part of the story.

Accordi.ng to Michaelene Coffee. Homecoming committee chairper...on. most plans have been fi.nalized. Wiltes CoUege Homecomfog activities wiU begin on Thursday, October 3 with a bonfire at 10 p.m. at Ralston Field. Activities will continue Friday with the judging of displays. Displays may cost up to $50. and SG vm reimburse any club or dorm up to $~ if receipts are provided. AU clubs and dorms are urged to present displays. This is the ,oth uu1iversary of the first Homecoming celebration at Wilkes College. so the theme is" A Golden Homecoming." The Homecoming football game will be against the Susquehanna Crusaders. Susquehanna's colors are orange and white. Nominations for Homecom~g King and Queen will be on Tuesday. September 21 for all seniors. Voting wiU be open for alJ students on Tuesday, October 1. Another Homecoming activity wiU be the undergraduate dinne.r-dan ce at Genett.i's on Friday, October 1. The price has .not yet been decided. Also at the SG meeting this week. Student Activites Di.rector Amy Wiedemer reported that there were .no security calls and .no damages to the Student Center at the party last Friday. However. the.re was some controversy as to the rules for entering and leaving the party after a certain time. At lJ:1~ p.m .. the doors · we.re dosed to any student who had .not yet paid to go to the party. At 12:1, a.m .. a.ny student who had left the party after paying was not permitted bac.k in. The.re were several .reasons fo.r this policy crackdown . First, this p.reve.nted many people from showi.ng up drunk after their ow.n parties a.nd causing trouble at the Student Ce.nte.r Party. Second, the Student Center Board decided o.n a limit of 2~0 people at the party at o.ne time. For insurance and safety purposes. it is not wise to exceed this limit. said SG President E.ric Chase. Mon campus activities may be o.n the agenda i.o. the future. Chase disclosed preliminary plans for a Student Prognmming Board. This group would plan activities for wee.tends vhe.n there were no major campus happe.ni.ngs. Chase a.nd Wiedemer would like the board to consist of 10-12 students with subcommittees for separate activities. A.ny interested student may contact E.ric Chase at extension 130 or Amy Wiedemer at exte.nsio.n 268 for details. Again this veet.. the importance of elections was stressed at the meeting. Elections for Commuter Council and Inter-Reside.nee HaU Council are Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. i.n Stark Lobby a.nd from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. outside the cafeteria. A ru.n-off ele_ction is also being held at these times because of a three-way tie for Junior Class . SG .representative. The candidates are Dawn Grabner. Michelle McAllister and Roseann Rupp. SG voted to grant $500 to the Women's Athletic Assn. ( WAA) for transportation to five away football games this season. Last year. WAA was granted funds for only three games. Costs are down because last year WAA I rented a bus for the games, and this year they rented a van .

As for the workload in college compared to that in high school. opi.nio.ns wiU differ depe.oding on where one went to high school. Most freshme.o are probably finding that while the workload may be heavier in college than in high school. it is .not u.nma.oageable. O.oe reason for a heavier workload is that each class is not held each day. As freshman Kristen Hen.ry said, the classes seem "harder because (professors) say mo.re in (less) time." The assignme.ots given in college differ from those · in high school i.o that whether or not you do them is essentially up to you . I.o high school there was usually a pe.oalty for not completing an assignment, but in college this is usually not the case. You.r p.rofesso.r does not stand over you demanding that the wo.rk be done a.od often does not even check you.r wo.rk. He simply expects it to be finished. Of course, as Hen.ry stated, "If you wa.ot to do well o.o the tests. you do the assig.ome.ots." . According to Augugliario. college classes are mo.re "informal" tha.n high school cla.,ses. However, it is difficult for ma.oy f .reshme.o to participate in class discussions because. as Longo said, "You don't know ,!.IIIIIIIIHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!J I 1i;iiii;:~-• i - , 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111i what the othe.r people i.n your class know." You don't wa.nt to ask a questio.n that other students al.ready know the a.oswe.r to. so ma.oy f .reshme.n are probably a bit afraid to participate. Longo feels that that wiU cha.nae as students become mo.re comfortable at college. On the other ha.nd, people in Augugliario's honors E.oglish class are al.ready mo.re wiUing to participate because they study topics that they are interested in. 'flit.bout a doubt, the major difference between hish school and collese is the amount of .responsibility that each i.ndividual has for himself. In addition to keeping up with school,ro.rk. you are suddenly responsible for everything from doing your own laundry to getting up o.o time. It is up to you to budget your time correctly so that you can get to each class o.o time. do the assignments. do that laundry. have some .run and still get enough sleep. Despite the misco.oceptio.os. college is not so terribly "back-breaking." It is a big change from high school. but it is.

WCLH is now New Music 91. aad it's back--full steam abead--with a new executive staff. Greg Krager is the ·station ma.n._er of llCLH, and he has four assistaat ma.n._ers. each with an area of specialization. to help him out. Vinnie De!Saatto is the music director, john Naeher is program director. Ma.rt Vetovitz is · production coordinator. aod Chris Botcarovic is the public relations coordinator. The station has undergone m&;or changes over the summer. First of all. the slogao bas been chaaaed to "New Music 91." repJacing "90.7 FM." To go along with this new s1ogao, the music format bas been chaaged. Now when you tune in to 91 FM. you'U be tuning in to the eicitina world of new music. Nev Music 91 plays the newest bits before tbey become poputa.r on commercial stations. Therefore. you von't be listening to tbe monotony of current top 40 hit after curre.o.t top 40 bit wbe.o. you turn your dial to 91 FM. That's tbe ~ic of tbe new WCLH. By tuning in llCLH you can be listening to .o.ev fresh music instead of stale top 40 hits. 1/CLH has had its fair share of fame tbis past yeu in regard to nev music breaking through to commercial stations. New Music 91 was tbe very first station to air the music of Synch--a baad whose members include several 1/ ilk.es graduates. l/CLH has entered Synch in a nationwide contest desianed to find the best new baad i.n the Uni&ed States and would lite to wish tbe group tuck in tbis endeavor. YCLH's New Music format chaages only once a week. on Sundays, when you ca.a tune in to specialized shows such as jazz. classical music, polkas aad country aad western music. The newest edition to the list of Sunday shows will be a reggae show, beginning this fall. New Music 91 is on tbe air every day, seven days a veet, from 7:00 a.m. until midnight. So you can wake up ,vitb WCLB in the mornina--• fresh way to Sia.rt your day--aad you ca.a study to the tune of New Music in the evening. You can also keep up with what's going on in the world by listening to the news on YCLH. YCLB brings you the very latest in sports a.ad news four times each day. And if you are already waiting to find out when Y iltes-Ba.rre 's first snowstorm will inundate the city a.ad cause classes to be caacetled, llCLH ca.a keep you up to date vith the weather during each Nev Music 911/ealher Forecast. One of the station's major goals is to keep you informed. while at the same time giving your ea.rs a breat from those same top 40 hits. WCLH knows that you'd like to keep up with the latest happenings in the world of New Music. Therefore, you'H be able to keep tract of their Top 10 reports right here in each issue of lli Beacon. In the future, WCLH wm be bringing you special feature stories about new and old artists and the !&lest albums.

Mad (Editer·• aote: This was submitted to The Beacon from the office of President Christopher Breiseth.) -- This year the Wilkes College United Way campaign will add a new feature. An incentive will be provided to encourage additional giving and hasten return of pledge cards by October 18, 1985. We urge you to return your contribution even before this date so the total Wilkes effort can be presented to the United Way by the end of their · campaign. A generous College trustee has agreed to contribute a financial gift 10 times the amount donated or pledged by a Wilkes employee. The individual · whose card is selected by a drawing may designate the gift for one agency or direct it to the general United Way campaign. Since this is a wonderful way to increase your donation (an $80 gift, for e1ample, becomes $800 ), it behooves all of - us to reconsider our donations of last year. Give the increase that you can afford and pledge an amount you think is worthy of being increased if you should be the lucky person whose card is drawn. The drawing will be in the Farley Lounge, SLC, at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 1985. To be included, your pledge card or gift must be received by Dr. Ogren before 2:00 p.m. on October 25. Each person has one chance to be recognized, so make your best donation on time and hope for good luck. The reception should provide a- good time to get together for socialization, refreshments, and, of course, to announce the f_unds raised by Wilkes College for the United Way of Wyoming Valley. For those who have given less than $25, we encourage an increase to one dollar per pay period by payroll deduction, or $26. For those who have given between $26 and $50, we urge an increase to St per week, or $52.

In fact, SG vilLsee its proposed budget for the first time this Monday night. To some, this might only be another bureaucratic foul-up . But students should be avare that this particular foul-up is costing them in "things to do" on campus, things that they paid for with their activity fee . For those vho are not avare of the logistics involved, SG is responsible for breaking down the student activities budget, which is the accumulation of the $50 student activity fee each student is required to pay yearly. These funds are then delegated to the various clubs and organizations that are "line items" on the SG budget. In the past, SG sent out budget requests to these organizations and clubs in mid-March. This alloved time to discuss the requests, make adjustments, and present a proposed budget to the body of SG before the summer. The administration would then approve the budget during the summer. Thus, the funds for organizations and subsequent activities would be available even before the fall semester began. "With the exception of the last two years, Student Government's budget was always approved before the end of the spring semester," according to Dean Hoover, SG advisor. Last year, the budget was not approved until sometime in October. Apparently, the .rationale behind this six-month delay in budget proceedings was that it would be better to wait until the new SG president and officers we.re elected in mid-April. I must point out that an effort could have been made to send out budget .requests even in. April. At the least, the budget could have been approved in the first two wee.ts of the fall semester. Student Government has fallen into the same trap ~is year. Meanwhile, the campus organizations are waiting for their funds to proceed vith their plans and activities. Yes. Student Government has sponsored tvo parties already. but then SG knows it will have enough funds in the long .run.. It is the other organizations that can.not do long-term planning because they are not necessarily assured of adequate funds. For e1ample, the Student Center Board has a brand new director who cannot ma.te plans for Student Center activities until the SG budget is approved. Every member of Student Government, but particularly the officers, has a responsibility to the students of Wilkes College. And the responsibility that these student leadership positions carry is great. In order to fulfill the duties of the office. one must be villiJlg to mate the effort to keep things running smoothly. Granted. it can be very difficult to juggle these duties in addition to the responsibilities of a full-time student. But each prospective student leader must decide if he can handle the burdens of office before he runs. ·drink responsibly, To the editor: It has become a concern of mine over the wee.tend as to if students really can "drink responsibly." As stated on page 33 of the Student Handbook: "It should be clearly understood that students who demonstrate a lack of responsibility and maturity in. the use of alcohol will be advised to participate in programs pertaining · to alcohol education. and/or abuse. Students who continue to demon.st.rate inappropriate, irresponsible, and immature behavior due to e1cessive drinking will be subject to disciplinary action ." Now. before I even continue. let me set the record straight. By no means am I going to attack the alcohol policy. My goal is to try and cause some All articles. letters. announcements. advertisements. etc. must be submitted to ~ lelffll . by Monday 5:00 p.m. at the latest.

By no means am I again alcohol. I enjoy a drink u drinking sociably vi friends but we failed to cause destruction and damqe when we do drink. Maybe students feel and have the attitude that we pay to go here so we can party ud destroy things. They re a.re sadly mistaken . The reason tuition keeps goin1 up is due to asinine antics such as these . Maybe, this campus does need to go dry and only allow the legally mature to drink. Because the noble act of trying to get students to drink .responsibfy is getting to be a .no wia situation for those of us who do!! Sensible Sophomore Student ttl)t leacon VOL.

"I would thin.t. first of all. that the change would attract mo.re students from the local area. The way !Jle economy is going now. it might even attract industry into the area," Barter said. Rachel Lohman. di.rector of financial aid, remarked on the upward mobility of the graduate program. "If it means that we would be groTing in the graduate studies area • the.n it's a good idea. I would li.t.e to see Wiltes move towards offering more advanced degrees or masters degrees. I thin.t that it can be a good idea if it means growth," Lohman said. Sw..at Affairs Peneaael The student affairs personnel had a mo.re conservauve approach to the concept of "Wilt.es University," stating Lohman expressed concern about a financial base. "On the other hand, I am sure that movina in that way . would mean a commitment of dollars, and funding vould have to be fouAd," Lohman said. Lohman also noted that the financial aid situation would remain .relatively unchanged. · "There really would not be that much of an effect on financial aid . We would have the same programs that we have now as far as undergraduate programs go. It would not increase our eligibility in any way for the typical fi.nancial aid programs," Lohman said. Lohman stated her biggest fear about the change to a university. "Again. I go back to the growth . If it means growth. it means more students. and that may take away from the closeness that we now have.

Acco.rdio.g to Shipula. Gabby speaks up! there were over 20 dispalys �PAGE TWO Alcohol does not equal social Editorial The Beacon: Use us! Wilkes College has a newly adopted mission. which will serve the College by defining Wilkes to itself and its public. Ao.d oo.e of the mission's crucial points is a regular communication among the various constituents of the College. Just so, The Beacon. also has a mission.: to stimulate the kind of cross-campus discussion that will get thin.gs done . · In fact, The Beacon is the only avenue Wilkes College has to communicate as a community. But I believe that ~any of. our readers view The Beacon as simply an information source. Granted, The Beacon. should be a reliable source of campus information, and The Beacon staffwork.svery hard to make itso. F~.rthe.rmore. it is The Beacon's job to inspire the constitu.e nts of Wilkes to discuss the issues at hand by p.resenttng relevant facts and analysis. But .we cannot do italoo.e. .It is.the campus .constil';Jent' s responsibility to present their views a.nd voice their opinions. And it's also the campus's re~p~nsibility to let us know if we'.re not living up to our mission. Thus far, the campus has been remiss in its responsibility. In fact. President B.reiseth has frequently commented oo. the lack of communication. on this campus. This tact of communication is apparent if we loot at a c~rren~ matte.r of some importance: the Wilkes University discussion. The Beacon has published two articles on the issue. And many students and professors I have spoken to have very definite opinions on the subject. Yet The Beacon has .not received even one lette.r or comment. It is this kind of apathy that allows the students to grumble in the Student Cente.r and in the dorms, the faculty to complain. at faculty and department meeti.o.gs, the administration to commiserate in Wec.tesse.r H&ll, and so on. There is no unified action because each group does not ta.te advantage of The Beacon. which is read by virtually everyone on this campus. Let's get Wilt.es College off its collective butt and make The Beacon an avenue of discussion and debate that will get things done. · upon alcohol consumption placing this story Oft theo., clearly, we have lost f .ront page of the paper.

Since the late 1940s. Homecoming has been a tradition . As George Ralston. dean of swde.n.t affairs. said. "Homecoming is a very significant event of history and life of an instiWtion." He added. "It adds color and meaning to an i.n.stiWtio.n.. Loyalty [spirit and participation by alumni and swdents] reflects the standards of that institution.~· Homecoming is a chance for members of the college community to pull together. to become closer and to show their spirit and love. Both Ralston and Dean Art Hoover agree that Homecoming hasn't changed much throughout the years. "The major difference was one of spirit and full participation," said Ralston. Ralston feels that swdents were more spirited in the past because the relationships among students were closer. He continued. "Everyone knew everyone. There were warm relationships. great friendships. and great camaraderie ." He also feels that this was due to Wilk.es' bei.n.g a relatively new instiwtion. "In the earlier years. new school songs and new spirit songs were coming into existence and traditions were being established. Everything was new. and enthusiasm was high . "It was easier to raise the spirits of the swdents back the.a.," Ralston explained. Hoover feels that 1 difference between coming theA ud ao, do with the sp' competition. especial ween dorms and o zations. Competition · early years of Will very high.

It has only recently that the ming court has been of both men and la the past. alumni had dinner dances. but the students did not. Eventually, the students started their own dinner -dances. These we.re formal dances to which the women wore gowns and the men wo.re tuxedos. These dances were held in the college gym_ "Being asked to be chairman of the deco.rating committee fo.r the gym was a big hono.r.'' said Hoover. Although the alumni have always played a major role in Homecomisig. Ralston stated that they "had a greater percesit of participation in the past. ma.inly because the siumbe.r of graduates now is much higher." Hoover said. "It's significant that the people can come back and see the im.provem.esits made in the city and college." Studesits of the past and present get a chance to meet asid com.pare college life today to what it was lO years ago. This year's Homecoming is a very special osie for Wiltes and its alumni. This yea.r marts the lOth anniversary of Wiltes· first graduatisig class. asid because this is a "Golden" yea.r. the alumsii have planned a very exciting and busy weekend. Because this Homecoming is a special asinive.rsary. Ralston said. "I would like to see some of the pagentry. a .renewal and rediscovery of nostalgia and spirit and greater participation by our alumni asid students. It means a lot to graduates asid future graduates."

ATTENTION Ill Editorial Students' decision We ran an ad in The Beacon last week entitled "Writers' Block Cured." Altnoug.b tt advertises a catalo2ue of paper topics. it is actually an advertisement for pre-written research papers. These ads are .not uncommon. particularly in college and university .newspapers. Following publication last week. The Beacon's advisor and edito.r-i.n-chief received several comments about the ad. Primarily, The Beacon was criticized fo.r supposed lack of judgment i.n running an "unethical" ad. The questions .raised by the publication of this particular ad resemble questions The Beacon staff has asked before. Fo.r example. The Beacon has .received an ad from a couple interested in adopting a baby . We are waiting to make the decision to .run the ad until its legality is confirmed. Thus. it is evident that an ad policy must be made to deal with these various circumstances. In order to make the most effective. ethical policy decision. we must first examine the various points of view. From one perspective. it would seem inappropriate to run the ad because it is unethical for a student to submit a paper that he did not write . Furthermore. by advertising the service. The Beacon would seemingly be aiding such an unethical practice. · But if you consider a newspaper to be a public forum. then the purpose of The Beacon is to bring information and analysis to Wilkes students so that they can make intelligent. ethical decisions. Thus. The Beacon is fulfilling its ethical .responsibility to the campus by .running the ad. Of course. this puts the emphasis on the individual's .responsibility to deem the ad and practice unethical. But is this not the purpose of a Wiltes· education? If you refer to the essay "An Educated Man o.r Woman" in the Wiltes College Bulletin, Wilkes students should have "ethical standards by which to live." Therefore. by making advertising decisions on moral grounds. not simply legal grounds. morality becomes the responsibility of Tbe Beacon staff and not the individual. And though The Beacon is not averse to making decisions on an ethical level. the decision not to buy a plagiarized research paper should be the student's. Along the same lines. what if The Beacon refused to print Planned Parenthood ads because the staff thought the organization to be immoral? Granted. some people probably feel that Planned Parenthood is immoral. but many do not. Any newspaper policy which is based solely upon morality as opposed to legality will make this so.rt of discrimination possible. In conclusion. we feel it is The Beacon's .responsibility to bring opposing points of view to Wilkes students so that they can make intelligent. ethical decisions. How do you feel. Wil.tes College?

Student Govn't passes budget by C.re~ Shalfo.rs Student Government (SG) i>assed its i 9isi-19is6 budaet at Monday night's meetin,;. A1thouah the budaet did pass, SG was not in fuU a,lreement on the issues. which was evident in the vote (12 favored, 7 opposed, 1 abstained) . According to Jacqui Kramer, Junior Class respresentative. "Students did not get u opportunity to see the proposed budget because it was not printed in The Beacon last wee.t." ; therefore, a vote should not have been ta.t.en. Ronda Fahmy. SG parliamentarian . disagreed with Kramer. saying, "I thi.D..t. it's urgent that we vote on the budget tonight." The discussion then turned to specific budget cuts. Keith Dorton. IRHC president. wanted to .t.now the reasons behind the $1.:>00 cut in the IRHC budget. Fahmy said. "This is not a playoff between orguizations. We're tightening the purse strings." Eric Chase, SG president. said. "We felt it was more important to cover our own asses before we covered the other organizations." Dean Hoover. SG advisor, said. "You have to loo.t. at the fact that we have fewer students. so we have less money. Last year we had . $92.<f?:>. and this year we only have $87.l00. "SG needs to see that money is spread like manure -- spread around the greatest number of organizations." said Hoover.

Jaz,fi1.z." g · ip&nts All of this babbling has finaUy brought me to this wee.k's topic--heada.ches. Millions of Americus suffer from headaches and spend hundreds of mi11ions of dollars each year on pain .relievers. There are three kinds of headaches: tension headaches. from muscular contraction; vascular headaches. related to the blood vessels; an.d organ.ic headaches. which have to do with constitutional well-being or over-partying. Tight muscles in the head an.d neck regions remain the biggest cause of headaches. College is a very intense atmosphere . Studying in excess of eight hours daily is not uncommon . This would be a prime example of a cause for a tension headache. Another cause of headaches could be day-to-day depression . This also puts stress on the head and neck muscles. The best way to · treat this type of headache is to treat the depression . Constriction or dilation of blood vessels in the brain can also cause headaches. Some chemicals such as tyramine can cause the di&lation of blood vessels. You are probably saying. "So what?" Well. the reason that this is important is because tyramine is found in many of our favorite foods. Among these are chocolate and .red wine . Another type of headache which results from dilation of the blood vessels is the dreaded migraine. Migraine headaches last up to 18 hours and are often accompan.ied by blurred vision. nausea and numbness of the limbs. Headaches also .result f .rom exertion--coughing or lifting heavy weights a.re good examples. This type of headache will go away with some rest. If you suffer from this type of headache. a longer. less intense training program will u~doubtedly help . A headache c&A also be a symptom for a more serious disorder. The one most frequently related to headaches is high blood pressure. So, if you are over 40 an.d have frequent headaches. I suggest that a check-up is necessary. For the basic nonchronic headache, over-thecounter pain relievers are fine. Let it be known. though. that these drugs can aggravate a headache caused by a strenuous workout. If pain killers f&il and the headache continues. see a doctor It could b you that you have low blood sugar or worse. If you do not believe in over-the-counter drugs. there are other alternatives. Hot baths. hot or cold packs on the neck or head &Ad a .massage a.re known. to be quite helpful. Migraine sufferers may .relieve blood pressure in the head by putting their han.ds in. hot water. There are also more expensive ways for .relieving headaches. These include .relai&tio.n techniques or biofeedback lessons. Nonaddictive drugs an.d anti-depressan.ts may also be prescribed if these methods fail. Even. with all this. the best way to relieve the stress &Ad strain of the day which could lead to a headache is .regular e1:ercise &Ad a well-balanced diet. Enjoy your workouts!

She picked off a beautiful pass from Sharon Domzalski midway into the half. Domzalski carried the ball and centered the shot at goal. There Pierman .tnoc.ted it in to ma.te the score 1-0. The second goal. also by Pierman. came after a scramble in front of a goal. It touched many sticks in an attempt to score. Joyce Dait who sent the original shot.

PA Vol. IIIVIII 11766 October 2.f, 1915 No. 7 Fun & Fitness Muscle fatigue- make it work by Bill BU1.Z& ft' r At some time in his life, everyone is hit with muscle fatigue. O.o.e does .not have to be an athlete for this to occur, aJthouah athletes are the most litely recipie.o.ts. Anyone who worts out with any intensity will most litely feel muscular fatiaue . Everyone is always trying to improve on his physique. For this reason, more and more intense traini.o.g routines are being used. However, .no matter how successful a method was whe.o. you first started usi.o.g it, constant use can, i.o. the long .ru.o., brina o.o. injuries. The most discouraging thin& is that injuries need rest.and this takes away from your trainina time. One of the main ways that people achieve muscular fatigue is by using mwmum weiaht (9C>-100 percent) in their training routines. Such routines are typically used by powe.rlifters, but .now almost everyone is using this method to increase stength. However, such workouts are en.remely taxing on the body. When performing this routine with hiah numbers of set, it can take the body two or three days to recuperate. Such workouts stress .not oiily the muscles. but also ligaments and tendons. If done for long periods of time. the stress can become too great for the body, and injury wiU occur. If you choose to go with this method of training, the best way to so about it would be for a cycle of no more than four to six wee.ts. After this amount of time. try some other type of training to give your muscles time for full restoration. Also. stretching is a good idea because prolo11.ged use of this method teit.ds to shorteit. your muscles. So. if you want to be able to comb your hair in a year or two, incorporate stretchina into your workouts. Another common way to get muscle f atiaue is by working your muscles to exhaust.ion. I.o. this method, very hi&h repetitions are do.o.e with low amou.o.ts of weight. This type of workout is popular with women, gymnasts and runners because it is very be.o.eficial for increases in strength and e.o.durance. This method is also tui.ng but lac.ts the stress on the te.o.do.o.s and ligaments. The best way to cope with muscle fatigue from this form of exercise is by resting one · day between workouts. This will give your muscles 4'8 hours to reach restoration. Another ' method for reachi.o.g muscle fatigue is by constantly placing stress on o.o.e muscle. 1.o. this method, o.o.e uses many differeat exercises, but with different levels of stress to the muscle, there is a more complete exhaustion of Ill the e.o.ergy supplied to the muscle. This type of trai.o.i.na is even more taxina than using maximum weight. Also, the effects of such workouts are similar to the going to exhaustion routine but more taxing. As a result. the worked muscle is muimally stressed. What this does is put you in a very veateaed state. To deal with this, recuperation must come quickly after the workout. Keep in mind also that pushing yourself past your limit doing this method of training will result ia injury. A good way to train intensively and teep from muscle fatigue injury is through a Dynamic Isometric RoutiAe. This can be done with or without weights. The resistaAce used is suhmu!m&I, but because of the en.remely slow movement together with holding positio.o.s i.o. the fuU ru.1e of movement, your muscle remains co.o.tracted all the time. This will lead to a maximum contraction. Each set of this type will take betwee.o. 20 and 30 seconds to perform.

Our alcohol policy has been discussed by the /1'/Jera/ arts administration in hushed tones for a number of years. And typically, the students have blamed the administration for any IYitJse 5rude~ were attempt to control alcohol consumption on campus. But the a/ePl?o/ ~ol~ .reasons behind the administration's paranoia are clear. Furthermore, it is a healthy sign to see these .reasons being discussed openly in the first Task Force meeting. Although this statement was never made in the meeting, it is impossible for the Colle1e to continue their current alcohol policy. In fact, it is impossible for the College to maintain any alcohol policy which allows underage drinking. This .reality becomes inescapable when one .reads the letter ~ distributed at the Tast Force meeting. Arthur J. Shuman, Jr., lawyer and private consultant to colleges and universities, author of much of Pennsylvania's drunk driving legislation, and the author of the aforementioned letter, offers the following information: "Colleges and universities that either permit the consumption of alcohol by minors, or fail to enunciate and enforce a vigorous policy forbidding underage drinking. will be deemed to have 'permitted' undera,e drinking ." Furthermore, because any action <or inaction) which permits underage drinking is criminal, insurance companies are forbidden by law to insu.re a negligent college. Thus, Wilkes College is facin1 uninsured liability every weekend. The following error Shuman included in his letter seyeral e:1amples of lawsuits appeared in the October 24ith against Pennsylvania coJleges and universities. One issue of The Beacon. In the Pennsylvania university was Nrequired to pay S~.000.000 to the editorial, the Student families of three minor students who died in a drunk driving Activities Di.rector is Amy accident following a cocktail party at a professor's home."

We Another Pennsylvania colle1e "was sued for $3,000,000 because polog.ize for our error. a minor student got drunt at a dorm 'keg' party and later had a..,.__________.,. drunk driving accident .resulting in tflo deaths. The theory of the case is that the presence of tflo RA's at the party gave it official sanction."

Unfortunately, though, the College does .not in.ate this fact .known to its 21-year-olds. Typically though . faculty and students often become quite sympathetic to the administrative point of view vhe.n they're informed of their pe.rso.nal liability. as Shuman points out in his letter. Apparently to deal vith the current situation. President Breiseth has distributed a memo to the campus.

The Beacon In light of the frightening leg&! facts. a "dry" campus is by the only conceivable alternative. And given that one lav suit Monday could put Wilkes out of business. it is the administration's S:00 p.m. responsibility to "go dry." Just so, it -is the student's at responsibility to accept this decision and eve.n support it. One might remind students that a degree from an institution that the failed financially. especially due to a lavsuit. is not latest. particularly useful. ~t "!hey 'cl dr1n_k and -fhey 'd dr//lt,) ...

Use -- and potential abuse -- of alcohol is an abidin1 concern to everyone involved with the Col1e1e: students, faculty, administrators, and parents of students. Beyond personal considerations, however, is the issue of liability to the College itself. , Accordinglyt_I draw to the attention of every member of the Wilkes Coflege f"8ll1Y .the dear statement regarding alcohol which appears in the Student-Handbook. Further, as a result of heightened concerns expressed to me -- especially by students and faculty -- I am requiring the Dean of Student Affairs and the Director of Residence Life and their staffs to observe stricUy the Handbook's provisions on alcohol. An essential part of education is learning to live by rules. Team playing, concern for others, self-discipline are acquired lite stills. Those who break rules should be aware that there an consequences. In this spirit, then, it should be clear beyond doubt that those found in violation of the College's rules should e:ipect disciplinary action. In the belief that College rules in this important area can be most effectively influenced through policy development involving all sectors of the campus, I am appointin1 a representative committee of students,_faculty, administrators to conduct an immediate revinr of the CoUe1e's alcohol policy and how it is understood and observed. The committee will also recommend to me any clarification or modification necessary to assure that the alcohol policy and its implementation will meet the educational mission of the College and remain in compliance with the laws of the City of Wiltes-Barre and of the CommonTealth of Pennsylvania. It is my charge to the committee that it consider the entire spectrum of college life as its palette. Much needed an positive and creative opportunities for social activities which are neither dependent on alcohol nor ha.ve alcohol as an essential element. It is expected that the committee will return its report to me within 60 days. The members of the College community who have agreed to serve are: Charles Abate, Paul Adams, Bob Bohlander, jerry Campbell, Eric Chase, Jim DeCosmo, Neil Douris, Alex Kassay, Jane Lampe, Charles McCoy, Edward Moriarty, Nancy Nally, Debbie Pavlico, Jim Rodechto, Tony Shipula, Jill Van Loan, Amy Wiedemer, and Phil Wingert. George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs, and the President will serve as ex officio members. Anyone in the Wilkes community wishing to offer an opinion, suggestion, or view on this important discussion is encouraged to contact a member of the committee, or to attend any open meetings which may be held. , ~*•••••••••••••••••*••• ,ft · fl, fl, fl, ft, -if, ft, -------... * ft, +., ft, ft, ft, f '1"I" ft, Y"'-'----__..--·~-- ft HILLSIDE PARMS tiICB ctlAII STOU Boscov's Lower Level aaoss from the deli open: 10-9 Mon.-Sat. 12-5 Sunday With this coupon, receive S.50 off on a small or large Sundae • • at Bi1111de Paras Ice aeam -if.

On Tuesday, October 22. the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Pe.rfo.rming Arts was filled beyond capacity to celebrate its twentieth anniversary. Alumni from around the country gathered to perform on this occasion. Although the CPA is the only theater today's Wilkes students .tnov, the College had a differe.nt theater at first. Before the CPA vas built. plays vere _performed in Chase Theater. vhich vas located behind Chase Hall. This theater vas an old carriage house transformed into a playhouse. It had the capacity to seat 120 people tighUy. The theater vas always packed for performances. The need for a larger. more modern theater vas obvioqs. 0.ne _person who attended performances at Chase Theater vas a voman named Dorothy Dickson Darte. Mrs. Darte vas a real theater enthusiast, and she donated the money needed to build the nev theater. And a sizeable amount of money it vas. Originally, the estimated cost of the .new building vas $600,000. However, after Dr. Eugene S. Farley, WH.tes's first president. held a dinner in Konor of Mrs. Dute. Al Groh. the di.rector of the theater. explained that the new theater should really have such things as a hydraulic stage and air conditioning. Then the estimate went up to around S1 million. Nevertheless. Grob bad the go ahead to build the nev theater the next day. The land the CPA is on was deeded to Wilkes College by the Wyoming Valley Society for the Arts. Then construction began. By October l96l the building was complete. and in November the first play vas performed on the new stage. The theater was designed by Donald Penglaser. and the architects we.re Lacy. Atherton. and Davis. a local firm . All construction vor.t. vas done by Sordoni Construction Company. Nov that the building was complete. it vas necessary to insure that programming would be available. A foun- dation vas established by Mrs. Annette Evans to assist the Center for the PerformArts in procuring cultural activities. More building vas yet to be done. In 1969. the music building. Darte Hall. was added. Once again. the $1 million needed to build the complex was donated by Mrs. Darte. The architects and builders vere the same as for the CPA. and William Gasbarro. then chairman of the Music Department. helped design the nev music building. Unfortunately, a fev years after construction was completed, reconstruction vas needed. In 1972. lite many other buildings in Wyoming Valley. the CPA and Darte Hall vere damaged by flood waters from the Susquehanna River. The CPA lost eight .rovs of seats in the theater. v.hile the basement and first floor of the music building were inundated. Gasbarro and his dog stayed in the music building and moved pianos out . of the basement to protect them from damage. Both the CPA and Darte Hall were deaned up and repaired quietly, and both ve.re ready for the start of the academic year in September. Of course. both buildings are still going strong today. serving Wilkes and the community. Thanks to Mrs. Dorothy Dickson Datte. many College performing groups and local commu.nity groups have a beautiful place to perform. The construction of the Center for the Performing Arts (top} was made possible through the contributions of Mrs. Dorothy Dickson Darte (bottom}. �PAGI SIYD pl~, Wilkes College Theatre through the years Wittes CoUege Concert Band .v• f ''<<..

The Albright College Lions were the victims as the Colonels came from behind to score an impressive 33-23 victory at Ralston Field. In the first half. Wiltes looted as though it would blow Albright right off the field. Junior quarterback Brad Scarborough threw two touchdowns in the half; the first was to runningbact Dave Massi, while the other was brought in by wide receiver Tony DiGrazia. Dan IoJu also added a 37-yard field goal in the half., With the third-quarter score ,reading 19-3 in favor of Wiltes, it looted as though the game was in hand. However. Albright had other plans. injury An to Albright Scarborough and some costly turnovers switched the momentum toward the Lions. By the end of the third quarter, Albright had reeled off 20 unanswered points. a.nd Wiltes ,,.. in a ball 1ame.

Because of this. quite a few vill probably stop running for fear of gettiJlg hurt. Never f earl In this article I will give you .run.o.ers some advice o.o. hov to run safely after dart. The first commandment for night running is to t.now thy course. Never take a .night run o.n an u.o.familiar course. Always run somewhere that you have been over during the day. Buckled paveme.o.ts, cracked sidewalks, tree roots and curbs can turn a running course in.to an obstacle course. Knowi.o.g the course can save you from possible injury. The most dangerous nighttime hazard to runners comes from automobiles. Be defensive when ru.o.ning; never assume that the driver sees you. This is a good rule to follow during the day and becomes essential at night. You should stop at intersections. cross drivevays carefully ud listen for the sound of automobile eAgines. Obeying this rule can save you from becoming a hood ornameAt. An.other very important rule is to vear light-colored clothing. If practical. vear some type of reflective strip on your clothes to mate you more visible. A driver cannot be expected to avoid vhat he cannot see. Brightly colored nylon shirts can be purchased for around St,. A good .rule for vomen is to run vith a companion. Running through certain sections of town or past regular hang-outs can be dangerous because of the presence of potential attackers. Your best bet is to use a course that avoids trouble spots. Also. never assume that you can outrun u assailant, especially at night. vhen your need for help may go unseen and unheard.

The acreditation vill have the biggest impact on nursing majors vho vish to go on to graduate school. "You can't go on to grad school unless you graduate from an NLN accredited undergraduate program," Nehring said. For nursing majors vho do not go on to grad school. graduating from an accredited school . vill improve their employment potential. Having an NLN accredited nursing program vill also draw more federal and state financial aid for the College. And accreditation will attract more potential nursing majors to Wi1kes. Finally. seeking accreditation promotes the building and maintenance of a quality program. "If you have a rotten program. you wouldn't go up for accreditation." Nehring said. The Wilkes Nursing Department has received accreditation since 1978. Nehring e:s:plaio.ed that the procedure for acquiring accreditation requires the investment of much time and wort. According to Nehring. the procesa i.o.volved seve.r&l steps. The entire Nursing Department and the administration had to get together to decide the feasibility of receiving accreditation. Next. the department began an intensive selfstudy which identified the strengths and weaknesses of the program. And a goal was set to improve any weaknesses. The final self-report study, totaling 454 pages, vas submitted to the NLN in October, 1984. The NLN then sent two experienced nursing educators to the campus to investigate the program in detail. They interviewed students and faculty, vent through the program continued on page 3 it) Blood- cl rive being held today by Mary Supey A blood drive will be hel on Thursday, November 7, in the college gym from 10 a.m. to-tp.m. A goal of 300 pints has been set by the local Red Cross.

The burning qu8stionl The burning question of the semester. as far as The Beacon goes. is "Why don't we get any communication from the campus?" And when I say communication. I mean everything f.rom a letter to the editor to a crank ca11 on ou.r answering machine to mutilated and defiled Beacons hanging f.rom t.rees. They say that a newspaper should stimulate campus discussion. But thus fa.r. we haven't discussed anything. So, I fi.rst questioned the importance and .relevance of ou.r news and features stories. In general, I consider them to be .relevant if not of ea.rth-shatte.ring importance. And fo.r the most pa.rt. sports is sports. (If you disagree. then w.rite a lette.r.) And the question is thus fa.r unanswered. My second tactic was questioning the interest of my editorial topics, a subject I can ce.rtai.nly discuss at great length. Although I suspect that the great majority of students do not .read the editorials, I would think that the remaining 10~ of the campus could appreciate most of the editorials. Yet the.re is no .response. Twice now, I have attacked Student Government. And when you consider that SG members a.re probably among those who .read the editorials if for no other' reason than self-defense. and that student leaden. in gene.ral, a.re e:ipected to be mo.re vocal than "regular" students. their silence is not warranted. They don't even sneer at me on campus. Ironically, I also wrote an editorial praising the value and wo.rth of a dialogue between the campus and The Beacon. So much for that. But the most sobering reality came this past week when I actually advocated a dry campus and got no response! I thought that a discussion of alcohol. or the lack of same. would produce some so.rt of .response f.rom the students. if .not the faculty or administration. And. typically, the.re was .no .response. The.refo.re, the only conclusion I could possibly make is that my editorials are written so concisely and with such overwhelming evidence in favor of my arguments. that .no one dares to challenge them. By the way, if you disagree, write a letter. But could it be that l'm simply not discussing the issues that Wilkes College wants to talk about? Well, I could lobby for weekly faculty meetings as an effective faculty morale boost. Or I could advocate the return of tuna croquettes to the Caf. O.r bette.r yet. I could officially invite the Cellar "spitters" to spread out their ca.rd game to the fi.rst floo.r of the Student Cente.r. So this brings me back to the stiH unanswered bu.r.ning question, "Why don't we get any communication from the campus?" And my final response is to keep printing The Beacon and the editorials in the hope that one day I may hea.r a crank call on our answering machine. or bette.r yet. receive a real. ho.nest-to-God. letter to the editor. 1---------- - ------------1 111 Wanted ••• Beacon Copy Editor Basic knowledge of grammar and spelling required.

Beacon corrections In the article entitled "Could put the College out of business" in the October 31st issue of The Beacon. it is possible that Dean Ralston's comment may have been misleading . The insurance company that insures Wilkes is not cancelling the College's liability policy. IJ1stead. the insurance company is .not renewing the liability insurance which insures the Board of Trustees. And although our alcohol policy may have affected this. according to Charles Abate. Business Manager. it is part of a nationwide insurance trend. This. however. does not change the .result .reported in the article: if Wilkes we.re proven to be negligent in a lawsuit, the College's insurance would not cover any damages. ttI,e JJileacon VOL.

Diabetes. by Bruce Goldfarb COLLEGE PARK, MD (CPS) Four present or former University of Maryland students we.re arrested earlier this month after police and animal shelter wardens discovered a grizzly cache of mutilated animals at their house near the campus. The students, who may have been part of a bizarre cult, say they took the animal carcasses from university labs, but campus officials say the.re's no vay to prove it. Warden Mickey Shaul secured a search varrant after a neighbor reportedly saw a cat's head hanging from a tree in front of the house. Police found 29 cat heads floating in a "foul smelling liquid" in a 55-gallon drum. Sources also say the pelts of cats, goats, rabbits and dogs were found stapled i.o walls and floors in the house. Police also found a vest made from cat and rabbit hide, and jars containing amputated legs and clavs of a cat, a rabbit and its new born baby, rats and lizards. Shaul said investigators found "satanic" paintings and devils' faces painted on the doorknobs. Police arrested students Lauren McEle.ney 21. Paul R. Clark. 30. and Tania M. Sd.nto, 20. and charged them with cruelty to animals and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Former student Mart R. Belle, 25. James E. Burke.25. and Louis M. Belle, 25. were also arrested on the same charges. McEleney was quoted in a local newspaper as saying "all the cat things" were "were left over carcasses from a zoology experiment" at the university. In a recent interview. she confirmed the carcasses came from the school. adding there is "definitely another side to the story." She dt .lined to elaborate. UM zoology department chairman John Corliss says it is "possible" and "credible" the carcasses vere "borrowed" from the university. "Even if they turn out to be preserved specimens, you stiH couldn't prove that they were ours," Corliss says. "We don't put a stamp on them vhen ve use them for teaching." Police acknowledge it is possible the animals were dead when the students obtained them . If they we.re. the cruelty to animals charge viU be dropped. they say. Q.

Oace upo.n. a time, it was thou1.ht that only .middleqed American housewives could be biUen by the soap opera bu1. Now it is quite clear that this addiction .has reached beyond the kitchen and into our schools. our offices, and our factories. As a mauer of fact, just about anywhere you loot. during the day vhere there is a televisio.n. set. you vill see someone sitting in front of it vith his eyes 1lued to his favorite soap. And please, for your own safety, don't interrupt him. Hardcore soap fans 1et quite upset if they are disturbed while indulgin1 in their favorite habit. Phrases li.t.e "Did you watch so and so yesterday?" and "What do you thin.t. is goin1 to happen on so and so today?'' are rapidly gaining on "How 'bout this weather?" as America's .number o.n.e conversation starter. I would even go so far as to say that ve now can add soap operas to that sacred list of c.herished American ideals: bueball, hot do9e, a99t. i,iei, Chevrolet, and soap operas. I admit it. Even I enjoy following these daytime dramas. However. this was not always the case. There was a time in the not so distant past vhen I avoided soap operas lite the plaaue. I would much rather vatch some silly 1ame show. I made fun of those people who vere addicted to soaps and I bragged that it would never happe.n. .to me. Then it happened. It started slowly: an occasio.n.&1 G,uur al Hospital or a little All My CJJildr ,u1 . Evenw&lly I was shocked to find myself r ushing to the TV set every day and frantically flippi.n.g • from one show to another. I even began watchi.n.g two or even three shovs during one time period. But I've curbed my appetite for soaps now, and I limit myself to maybe two or three shows a day. Although soap watchers are a relatively soft-spoken 1roup, they are definitely out there. My high school guidance counselor once told me of an incident in which a girl requested to drop an advanced class w.hich was held after re1ular school hours because she would miss her "General Hospital." Being a die-hard soap fan himself, he granted the request. Maybe soaps are so popular because they contain the glamour. romance, and adventure that so many of us feel we may be lac.ting in our own lives. Maybe soaps are so popular because we can identify with the characters and discover their strengths and weaknesses over a lo.n.g period of time. the same way we do with a real Hfe friend. Whatever the reason. soap operas have become a big part of many people's lives. I'm sorry to have to end this article so abrupty, but "Days of Our Lives" is co.ming on, and I have to find out if Pete and Melissa found the final clue leading to the treasure. Alcohol: not a problem in itself , by Sandy Platt Statistics show that three out of every four college students drink alcohol. Despite the fact that this figure is so high, many swdents are unaware of euctly what alcoh ol is and hov it affects the body. Alcohol is a drug . It is one of the most widely used drugs .t.nown to man. and it affects the body in many vays. In the stomach. alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throu1hout the body. The rate that alcohol is absorbed depends upon the .t.ind of alcohol and the contents of the stomach at the time the alcohol is consumed. For Hample. the more food in the stomach, the stover the rate of absorption vill be. Contrary to popular belief, drinking coffee. taking showers or doing vi1orous exercise has no effect on the rate that alcohol is metabolized. In the liver, alcohol changes to water. carbon dioxide and energy. In the brain. alcohol slows the thought processes by numbing brain cells. The more alcohol you consume, the more brain cells are affected. The physical effects of drinking alcohol include an increased heart rate. higher st.in temperature. loss of muscle control and hangover miseries (fatigue, nausea and headaches). Alcohol also impairs jud1ment. affects one's ability to think and reason and causes poor concentration . AU of these effects depend upon the amount of alcohol consumed. the setting in wJiich it is consumed. and the body size and tolerance of the drinker. Intoxication itself has five stages. The first is the "happy" stage, in vhich the drinker becomes rewed ud tal.t.ative.

PA 11766 -- No.9 November 7. 1985 ~ •!-.:- · • Fun and Fitness The myths by Bill Buzza Are you constantly the brunt of fat jokes? Do people .ridicule you because you.r waist size exceeds your I.Q.? Well, nobody lit.es to be fat, especially these days. We cannot escape the fact that we discriminate against overweight people. Try getting the choice job if you have trouble fitting into your interview chair. O.r worse yet getting stuck in it and having to be cut out! You a.re seeing fewer fat executives these days. Gluttony is out, slim is in. Everyone is adapting to the fitness lifestyle. Countless executive fitness journals lay down guidelines for the welfare of ou.r business and civi~ leaders. For example, Prt:siden_t Re~an regularly trains with weights. So does Gary Hart. And former President Carter jogs daily. It seems that to be successful, one must be slim. It isn't that we do not lite fat people, it just seems that they do not fit in with America's passion for slimness. For this reason, fat people are constantly being condemned. Come on, don't tell me you never yelled "Whale on the beach!" when walking past a fat person trying to tan. And with and almost 100 million Americans being ove.rweight, you had bette.r believe that the.re are alot of fat jokes flying around! The.re is still hope fo.r those of you who "sit around" the house. Obesity does not have to be permanent, although the typical diet tract .reco.rd would make you think so. But it seems that people a.re slowly beginning to lick the fat problem. In this article I would like to show you some or the myths and facts about fat. So, th.row away that candy ba.r and read on! The first myth that I will shed some light on is that fat is not a metabolic problem. Your metabolism is the speed at which your body burns up calor~es. . It is a totally physiological proces_s. Fat people . have differe~t metabolisms than thin people. You all know of people who can eat an en.ti.re cow and not gain an ounce, while others just look at food and gain ~O pounds. This can be due to the .amount of active "brown fat" that the body contains. There is a greater amount of this active brown fat in thin people than in fat people. Only about one percent of the body's fat is brown fat. The .rest is yellow fat which is facts .relatively ine.rt. metabolically speaking. Secondly, hormones that direct energy consumption are mo.re active in thin people. Fat people seem to always be hungry. This can be attributed to the fact that certain hormones carry faulty appetite messages to the b.rain. One must also .remember that fat people store calories easily and burn them sparingly. Thirdly, the sodium-potassium pump wo.r.ts more efficiently in thin people. This pump is what helps .regulate proper muscle contractions. Each body cell has its own pump and works continually to maintain a sodium-potassium balance. This is a very important process and consumes many calories. This pump wo.r.ks less efficiently in fat people and .results in mo.re sto.red calories .· . AU . in all. being f~ establ!shes ,metaboltc function~ that k~ep you f~. On the_brighter _side. there 1s undeniable. evidence now that . ~xercise and proper nutrttion c_an help .reverse these functions. . . Anothe.r:myth 1s blam1~g your obesity on family tendencies as an excuse. The about fact is. that if your parents are fat, you have up to an 80 percent chance of becoming fat yourself. But, I am not saying that this is an inherited trait. This can easily be attributed to your environment. Many of your eating and activity patterns can be developed by you.r parents. Also, any rapid weight gain causes an increase in the numbe.r of fat cells, which, once formed, stay with you for life. A weight-loss .regimen may reduce them, but they secrete an enzyme called protein lipase that tells your body to restore them to full size. Staying thin after reducing is not easy, because millions of extra fat cells a.re demanding their former status. For this .reason, it is extremely important to stick to your diet and fitness schedule even after you have reached your goal. Another myth is that the emotional and psychological make-up of fat people causes them to eat mo.re . The fact is that the.re has been no differe.nee found between thin and fat people psychologically and emotionally. It is clear that overeating and inactivity keep you fat and getting fatter. So .remember if you like to eat &lot, you b better work out awfully h or start looking for a n ward.robe! The last myth that shall look at is frequen used: fat people have no,· power. On the con many fat people religiously over long peri of time. Some lose wei and others do not. even nea.r-sta.rV&tion levels. ille I said befo exercise remains the sln most effective st&bil' · ractor in losing m&i.o.t&i.ning body weight. you increase your exerc' time and reduce your calo intake comfortably. wei can be lost slowly. permanantly.

We may all hope that othen will respond to 1]w BeacOJl IS they have. But Ye caanot stress enou1h the importaace of continued campus discussion via The Beacon. As a case in poin~. one of the letters in this .issue happens to point out a serious problem at Yiltes. Th, author of tht letter, ":0.U.red and Beaten," refen to the clan of lll-.ma.nnered youth who mate their presence felt_ uo1;1n.d &nd about Wiltes in various ways. The. letter-writer 1s annoyed by the physical abuse she is subJected to at parties. And thil is ctrtainly understandable. Similarly, the Student Center Board didn't appreciate bein1 spit on last year in The Cellar. The 1roup she is referrin1 to is one of many that constitutes the lOYer crultof Wilkes students. They can be identified easily enou1h. Just loot for the trail of beer bottles trash and vandalism or listen. for primordial grunts' about campus. But why is there a lower crust? . The problem is the admissions staadard at Wilkes. It is the "'~e'll take anythin1 that has tuition money" mentality.- The letter-writer states the problem quite succinctly by astin1. "Does the tuition that · these few people pay really mate up for the tut. of presu.1e here at Wlltes?" We thint not. Granted, times are difficult, particularly for small, private colleges. And our acting director of admlssio.ns has pointed out that because times are tou1h, it's Admissions' Job to fill classrooms with bodies rather than worry too mcuh about staadards. But by admittin.1 people who gru.nt instead of speak and live primarily to drint on the weekends, are · we not 9"kinl the quic:.t.est.--and worst--solution to the need for students? Don't ill-mannered students attract other ill-mannered students? On the other hand, is it not reuonablt to theorize that a school with Yell-mannered student, will attract other Yell-mannered students? And the proverbial bottom line is that these students are here for the duration, even if Admissions adopted a nev policy tomorrow. These students speak in mon~syllables, shout obscenities across campus, rip up parting meters. and batter people at p&rties--whether they're drunt or not. The solution? Students who are ill-ma.nnered--that is! vho spit, 1ru.nt, u.d vho tnows what else--should be sent home to mother. Meanwhile Admissions must adopt a new policy that will tell them ~ "keep their money and 10 back to the farm" IS "Bauered and Boaten" suggests.

Yet so many Wiltes students assume so much to be true vithout asking for clarification of information. At a recent SG meeting, the members failed to ask for clarification of the facts that vere under discussion concerning the Am.nicola. (Yearbook) budget. The intent of this letter is to inform Student Government Name withheld and the student body about the Amnicola budget. The first and perhaps most important fact to understand is that our budget vas not approved last spring. In order to avoid extra costs and to meet production deadlines in good faith. we signed a forces of history vhich vi11 contract la.st May without a deepen our understa.nding of budget.

In arbitrarily cutting our proposed budget Christopher N. Breiset.h by almost $7,00.00, SG did not resident writes letter Emeritus Dean of Engineering at Lehigh University and a former trustee of Wiltes CoUege, will analyze the challenges facing human beings, individually and co11ective1y, as we wrestle with our physical environment and the political environment during the next two or three decades. What we do to improve or to weaken our relationships in each environment may literally determine whet.her there will be a viable future for human society. The implications for each of us as i.Jldividuals and for education will be explored. Dean Iaratash will discuss the capacities we have as human beings, including our spiritual energies, to shape a positive promising future. Born of Greek parents in Turkey during the Bal.tan Wars that helped trigger World War I. a scientist who made major contributions to technological advances during World War II. an Olympic athlete and a pioneer of the computer, John Iarakash combines a wealth of personal es:perience and a lucid understa.nding of the great budget cut unreasonable consider the ramifications this cut could have on the yearbook. Also in cutting our proposed budget, SG vill force us to breach our production contract. It must also be addressed that at a cost of $27,8,0.00, the quality of the proposed 1986 yearbook .is far from being "Much higher th8A it needs to be." (Refer to Beacon article "Amnicola. asts for $26,000," 11/07/8:5, p. 3). There are smeen pa,es of color vhich have been included in many of the past yearbooks. SG has suggested cutting out the color section and reducing the number of pages. Certainly. this is a viable alternative. however. it vould drastically reduce the pictorial impact of our boot. The yearbook is meant to be a photojournalistic representation of the college vhich is viewed by parents, prospective students, and private citizens of the community. Granted, when some students first receive a yearbook, it's not alvays received with the greatest enthusiasm, but its value increases over time. SG also suggested selling ads. The Amnicota staff hopes to sell about SZ.000.00 in ads. But this amount cannot be entirely relied upon because local businesses ~ady contribute financially to the coUege. Last year. only one campus organization bought an ad. Therefore, SZ,000.00 is a goal to reach for but is perhaps not entirely realistic. We hope this letter .bas clarified any questio1ls that have -been raised concerning the Amnicola budget. The Am.nicola staff is requesting $26.2:50.00 (17'() x Sll.00) so that we may meet our contractual obligation as well as maint&iJl the quality of this publication.

Many of the buildings are examples of major architectural styles of the nineteenth century and early to mid twentieth century. Three of the oldest buildings on campus are Mdlintock Hall, Catlin Hall, and Sturdevant Hall. These three structures, which were erected in the 1840s, are. representative of the Greek Revival. This style is characterized by smooth exterior walls and low · pitch roofs. Sterling Hall, which was built in the late 1860's and early 1870's, shows the Italinate influence. Large brackets under the roof overhang and· stuccoed exterior walls are common features. The eclectic Queen Anne style, which characterizes many buildings in this area, can be seen in Chesapeake and Delaware Halls and most noticably in Weiss Hall. This style is noted for its irregularity of plan, multiple roofs that are steeply pitched, windows of varying forms, and a round or polygonal tower. Some of the buildings which were built in the twentieth century are · actually revivals of older styles. For example, Wec.kesser Hall, which was built between 1914- 1916, is an example of the Gothic Revival as are Kirby and Barre Halls. The President's house and Doane Hall are influenced by the ausic Revival. Finally, and perhaps the most recogniuble architectural style, is the Tudor Revival style which may .be seen in WIller Hall, Chase Hall, and the Annette Evans Faculty and Alumni House. Evidence ol this is the half-timbering on the e1terior walls. --------------------Jll,l ' Yei11 Rall. a female residence haU �PACiB Bl Kingston CRITTERS NOTICE!

Do you remember how lousy you felt after you finished your test? The reason for this feeling is that sleep is of vital importance to everyone. Sleep helps recuperate your body after a hard day workin1 out or from just the strains of everyday livin1. Since recuperation is one of the vital elements in creating strength, energy, and well-bein1- and steep is one of the requirements of recuperation, a few vords on how to sleep well should be of interest to anyone who leads an active life. Also •. don't forset that sleep takes up about a third of our lives. Any number of situations. good or bad, can cause sleeplessness. For example. geUi.ng a new car or the threat of Callins a class can both lead to insomnia. I would rather it be the first There are a number of different of things which can make you an insomniac. Many people believe that a stu1 of booze will initi&lly make you sleepy, but it's effect on the nervous system three hours later may mate steep difficult Also. turning in before your habitual bedtime so you will be well rested for the following day may only lead to a restless night. Sex before sleep. thou1h reluing may also result in a sleep defeating high. Regular exercise is the best natural relaunt, but if done too strenuosly or too close to bedtime can overstimulate your mind and body and keep you avate. The best temperature in which to sleep in is around 6l degrees. If the mattress seems too hard or son, try a waterbed. This type of bed is very reluing but until you get used to it. be prepared for some difficulty in changing positions. 1/ool fleece sheets are very comfortable to sleep otl. The fleece cushions the body, relieving pressure points at the knees, hips. and shoulders. The dense pile allows air to circulate utlder the body for greater warmth ifl the winter and coolness ifl the summer. What you eat before bedtime can also be very important. Coffee and cigarettes adversely affect your sleep because of their caffeine and flicotine. Sleeping pills produce a poor quality of sleep. and the attempt to withdraw from them results in insomnia. Regular exercise is the cure for all sleeping troubles. Exercise makes it just as easy for you to get up in the morfling as it does for you to fall asleep at night. Your sleep and Yake cycles are thus better syflchronized.

The Manuscript has sponsored many poetry .readings in the past, but for the first time people with muscial talents were invited and encouraged to participate. "We tried to coordinate an event that would utilize people with muscial talents," Sandy Long, editor of the Manuscript and event coordinator, said. "In the past, only poetry was read," stated Long. "If we introduced the music element into it, we could get even mo.re people involved." Bernie Mertz, an alumni of Wil.kes and a regular at Manuscript functions said that introducing music was great because "it broke down prevailing attitudes of and between the majors and their identities. Now they can identify with each other, together." Approximately -40 people attended the coffee house held at Mostly Books, located on South Main Street, Wilkes-Ba.rre . The proprietors say that they have held a lot of private parties at the store, but this was the first time they hosted a college event. "It seemed like everyone had a good time," said the proprietor. "As long as they are as well behaved as they were tonight, we'll probably do it again." A regular at Manuscript events for the past five years, Getle Collifls ,said that it was definitely "worth com.iflg 20 miles for." Mr. Collins is from Drums. PA.

But he did anyway and entertained the audience with a humorous song titled "The Love Bug Itch." "If you're bitten by the love bug. you don't know where to scratch," he said. "At least if you' re bitten by a mosquito, you know where to scratch." D.r. Pat Beaman. Manuscript advisor, said, "It went over very well. Sandy's idea was terrific."

The blatant disre1ard of a request to publish an article which has more relevance to the reader and supporters of your publication than do the vast majority of your features, mates us question the actual purpose of Iu Beacon's existence.

Dear Editor: I applaud your efforts to point out problems on the campus because I honestly believe that is one of the positive services that a student newspaper is uniquely qualified to provide. I appreciate your willingness to take stands on controversial issues; that is why I shared one of your recent editorials with a colle1e-bound student and his parents when they posed questions about the alcohol policy on our campus. I agree with your condemnation of the kinds of behavior you described in your most recent editorial-- but I must object to the statement that you attribute to me in that same editorial as well as to the general connection you seem to be drawing between the admissions process and social behavior after students arrive on campus. I know that your on-campus readers will realize that I did not make that statement, and I am confident that your general readership will recognize that no Dean of Admissions would mate that kind of statement. I am concerned, however, that you have offended the 1reat majority of students on the campus, as veil as the Admissions Office staff that recruited them, to mate what appears to be a simple enough point: offensive and threatening ~i1;ii t..;e:Zi~~~~~~:: ;:h: \;. . . . . . . .,. . . .. ......]~{~;[;~:..,,;:;;_::::·.......... •· •·•· ·.~ ~~~1~{;nEi~~i ;~Jt81f2= Yours for a better Wilkes College, John F.

Three representatives from the Amnicola attended the meeting to discuss the continuing budget controversy. Mr. Richard Fuller. advisor to the Amnicola. stated that the Amnicola budget is lover this year than. it was last year. Eric Chase. Student Government President. asked if the Amnicola staff could raise money by selling ads. Fuller replied that last year they could only raise $850 from ads. Fuller explained that selling ads in this area isn't very easy. "There are a limited number of businesses, and so many people as.ting them for money." Fuller said. "What about a fuiid raiser?" Chase asked. Fuller explained that the Amoicola staff had sold refreshments . as a fund raiser at the George Carlin show. but the effort was not successful. Furthermore, Fuller added, "The yearbook staff should not be involved with fund r&1S1ng because Ill! Beacon doesn't do it. and neither does the Manuscript... Much discussion ensued. Fuller told SG members that the Amnicola staff vas also plan.ning to have a velour cover on the 1986 yearbook. This would raise the cost of the Amnicola $2 per yearbook. Chase stated that since at least 1700 yearboo.ts have to be ordered. this would raise the cost S3.'W0. That would bring the total cost of the 1986 Am.nicola to SZ7.830. 1.750 I J'otal SG budget · $87,500 are encouraged to attend. r-----_·cc···;.;;.;;;.;;·----., ________ _ I~ "".'

Fred Horgnn Kirby, nn Americnn merchnnt nnd bnnker, wns originally from Brownsville, N.Y. He eventually moved to Wilkes-Barre, where he opened his first five-and-ten cent store under the name of Woolworth and Kirby (For those interested history buffs, the name F. M. Kirby can still be seen above the fnmiliar ·woolworth's· sign at the store on South Hain Street). An example of the Gothic Revival style of eirchitechture, Kirby Hall has a large center hall with the principle rooms nrranged along the sides. When the College acquired the building, some of the furnishings eind much of the grandeur were retained from the yenrs the Kirby family resided there. At the time of the building's dedication, the College newspaper (the Bucknell Beacon) reported theit the walls of the main hall on the first floor were covered with scarlet brocade. Although the building sustained an estimated $200,000 worth of damage during the 1972 flood, most of the original beauty of the structure remains, including several large marble fireplaces, an ornate grandfather clock, and n huge wine cellar. One of the most interesting and prominent buildings on the Wilkes College campus is Kirby Hall. 1970, Kirby wos placed on the Pennsylv,mi8 Regis Historical Buildings.

According to Lorusso, an official definition vill be compiled in accordance vith the school's policy and the national goverment's definition. Even though an official procedure has not been implemented yet for responding to sexual harassment charges, students are urged to report incidents to the Deans.

Season's greetings .from TheBeacon �PA.GE TY Editorial Reflections on semesterI helpful hints tor finals I believe the Wilkes College community would agree that it has been a rather long semester. The adm.i.nistratio.n has se.nt out its 2'.}7th memo. The 12th issue of The Beacon has hit the lobbies for the last time this semester. The faculty is buried up to its eyeballs i.n papers and exams. And the list goes on and on . But before -we say adieu to the 198'.} fall semester here at Camp Wilkies, we should take a moment to reflect upon a few happenings of this fall. Miraculously, the football team won its first opener since 1972. Wilkes adopted a new mission, and the question of Wilkes University arose. Admissions Dean Wuori suddenly resigned and the faculty retreated in the early part of the semester. The Nursing Department succeeded in getting its accreditation, but the members of the Programming Board failed in their attempt to express themselves intelligently in the last issue of The Beacon . And last but .not least, the formation of the Alcohol Task Force marked a new era of social activities at Wilkes. A.nd Wilkes students remained true to form in their total lack of response to the alcohol issue . Having taken a nostalgic look at the semester. we must now loot forward to the grim spectre of finals week. And bei.ng sensitive to the plight of students at this time. I have compiled a list of helpful suggestions. First of all. beware the inevitable hangover resulting from the 1'.} Christmas parties scheduled for the last day of classes. Second, keep i.n mi.nd that this is your big cha.nee to work hard for a week and a half so that you feel deserving of your mo.nth-long Christmas break. Third. do.n't forget the backpack mommy bought you when you we.re a f .reshman to lug all those u.nope.ned boo.ks to Stark to study for the first time. Also, the Stark Security would appreciate it if you would at least brush your hair before passing them after a.n all-.nighter. Fourth . dorm student should pay particular attention to the weird Caf hours lest Hilma shut those swinging doors o.n your nose when you're late . And finally, if your finals are scheduled through Friday , December 20th, you will have to deal with screaming students who are running th.rough the hallways and parking lots--they only had two finals and were finished by the first weekend . You may either ignore them or take rifle potshots at them from the roof of your dorm . Just .keep these helpful hints in mind and your life should be much more pleasant .next week. And don't forget to participate i.n the burning debate at Camp Wit.ties: To take an incomplete or not to take an incomplete; that is the question . Good luck! 'Someone got some Editor: started as.tin.g the student some questions. "What's the problem in the play? What's going on at the beginning? Who's present? Who .knows what's going on?" There was some space between questions so the student could respond. He verbally stumbled around a little. The professor pressed him after each faltering response, admonishing him to get closer to what was actually going on, to pin down what Oedipus is all about. He didn't let the student get away with the little pat answers every college student knows how to belch forth on a test. Staring into the student's face (which was no more than eighteen inches f tom .bis own.). he made him pay It happened. Here at Wilkes College . In a faculty member's office in 'Kirby Hall. Someone got some education . Actually, that's not really a startling statement. After all. this is a college, and education is its business. But this little incident which occurred in that office might be worthy of particular note . A student came to talk to his professor (one of my officemates). Apparently the student is.n't doing all that well in this teacher's class. and he wanted to .know vhat he could do to improve . The two started talking about that old Greek standby. Oedipus Tyra.nnus by Sophocles. one of the works studied i.n the course . This is the time the student got some education. The professo.r stared intently at the student. He attention to all the little details He made him see that general statements that don't cut to the truth are.n 't sufficient- -and, indeed, are shoddy thinking at best. totally wrong at not only I.his. but the student place details into a larSwor.k., into Lhe w itself, so he could Oedipus was all without seam or real and the way together. And the started to see both. That's education. It's hoped Lhat interdisciplinary being worked on Wilkes will provide this real edu · Wilkes students. If their coming is If, however, they invite students IO vague generalities slightly wider pi stick llilh the courses which haft that they ca11 do used properly. Respectfully. D.W.Evans VOL.

(Third in a Series) by Dan Out ti nger Like many campus buildings, the Annette Evans Faculty and Alumni House hos a Tong history. · The land on which the house now stands has hod several owners through the years. In the late 1700's, a Mr. John P. Arndt operated a tavern on that site. After the tavern's demolition around 1679, several homes were constructed on the property before the present structure wos finally built. An example of the Tudor Revival style of orchetecture, the building was erected around 1928 for Horry R. Hirshowitz, a local businessman. Innes ond Levy of Wilkes-Barre wos the orchitecturol firm. !' Wilkes College purchased the -building from Edward Morris in 1949. Up until the time of the 1972 flood, the house served os the residence of j the first president of the College, Eugene S. Farley. i The building is named after a lote member of the Boord of Trustees ond o benefactor of the Co 11 ege. Current 1y the structure serves os the home for several offices. l proximately 20 percent of the enrollment in the Wilkes Engineering Department-high by any coed institution's standards. The women themselves feel that this is due to the attitude and reputation of the department. "Women in engineering are called ·non-traditional students' at some schools. but nobody gives that impression at Wilkes . We are si.mply students trying to get the best tra1n1ng tor our profession, and we get that regardless of whether we are male or female ," says one student. The Engineering Depart- . ment's record for finding employment for graduating women proves their success. Recent graduates are now working for major corporaations such as OWensIllinois. Eaton Corporation. IBM, and Texas Instruments. Joan Thomas. a 1983 graduate with a degree in Electrical Engineering , is now a systems engineer with OWens-Illinois. She sees the strength of the Wilkes engineering program as "its project work and work. I fell confi knowledge going · field." Like the female undergrad felt no bias against woman engineer.

In addition, the large size of most core classes as compared to upper-level classes often makes cheating more difficult to detect. 0 There should be an anonymous way to report cheating people so that the person reporting would not be exposed." If cheating does occur, it is only natural to as.k what methods of cheating are being used. Recently, much publicity has been given to cheating incidents in which students have been caught using high-tech communiication equipment to pass along answers during examinations. While this may occur at large universities. the oldfashioned methods of cheating seem to be most popular here at Wilkes. According to our survey. copying on exams and using crib sheets are by far the most popular methods. f acuity responses pointed to copying on tests as being the number one way for students to cheat. Faculty · also indicate that plagarism tends to be a major problem. although plagarism was rarely mentioned by students as a way to cheat. Using other students' computer programs. a type of cheating that is becoming OFTEN, 3% more popular. was also cited by both students and faculty With all these methods to cheat out there, one might wonder why even more students don't "jump on the bandwagon ." Perhaps it is because the punishment can be so severe. ranging from a "O on the particular exam or assignment" to "expulsion" from school. Or perhaps it is because many students (~7~) feel that cheating is simply wrong . What. if anything. should be done to prevent cheating? There are many ways to attempt to deter cheating in the classroom. One professor comments, "I feel that essay exams are an effective barrier to cheating ." But thal same professor admits, "Jts possible that cheating occurs without my knowing it " Perhaps the most effective deterent to cheating is simply for faculty to be on the lookout. According to the survey, 67% of the faculty feel that they patrol the classroom very closely during exams . However. only 40% of the students hold the same opinion . In fact, one student even comments. "Some professors just ignore it." One student suggests. "There should be an anonymous way to report cheating people so. that the person reporting would not be exposed ." Even if cheating is detected, a problem exists in that punishments are not consistent from one professor to the next. One professor even goes so far as to say that his punishment for cheating depends upon "what kind of mood" he's in. Another · faculty member comments that "it can be risky accusing someone of cheating when' it's that person ·s word against your own ." ... .. the old-fashioned methods of cheating seem to be most popular here at Wilkes.A-oto IMJ Brian Dorstlj In addition to "punishments," students contemplating cheating should be aware of the results of a nationwide survey of 100 Fortune 1000 executives. The executives were asked what employee behavior bothered them the most. The findings were published in a recent "Dishonesty ... topped the list of most objectionable behavior.· ....,......,.__ SOMETIME S, Career Services newsletter . According to the newsletter. "Dishonesty . . . topped the list of most objectionable behavior . If a company believes that a.n employee lac.ks integrity, all of that w1thm the last month 42% within the last year person 's positive qualities-from skill and experience to productivity and intelligence--become meaningless." Is cheating a major problem at Wilkes? It is difficult to say. Our survey does show that cheating does occur to a certain degree . However. whether or not the amount of cheating is substantial enough to warrant more research into the problem is questionable . Whether or .not to cheat is a question that everyone must as.k himself at one time or another. and .as final exams approach , more students will be asking themselves that question .

A video depicting Co-op life and produced as an in-house project at the College was recently aired on Channel 38 . Two former Wilkes students, Annette Winski and Tom McGuire . wrote the script, shot the footage. and edited the video tape as part of their senior project under the supervision of Academic Coordinator Dr. Bradford Kinney and technical engineer Carl Brigido. The video tape is being used as a recruiting tool. "It's being shown to businessmen and. on career days, to students." Dr. Iin.ney said. The Cooperative Educatio.n Office placed a total of 108 students with about employers during the 1984-198, academic year. The coop,e.ra.tive education placements for credit include volunteer as well paid positions. Cooperative Education provides employers with a reliable source of labor and students with an opportunity to work in. busin.ess. industry, and public service. The program monitors student interns through con.tact between. the College and the employers and between faculty evaluators and students. At the end of the semester, the faculty evaluator determines a grade based on the employer's evaluations and the student's journal and term project. Students work 15 to 3, hours a week. depending on the number of credits they are receiving. The program began in 1978. and the office is located on the third floor of the Annette Evans Alumni House . The program's slogan. "You earn a future when you earn a degree," says it all.
