The case was transferred to District Justice Martin Kane's office. Graves was arraigned in White Haven because Kane's office closes at 4 p.m. and after hours, one magistrate serves for the entire county, said Carmen Maffei, Administrator for District Justices. Feissner was the duty magistrate Friday, Maffei said. When asked about the incident, Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, said, "The appropriate College officials and boards have been dealing with and are continuing to deal with violations of College regulations." When asked if both students are still on campus, Lampe-Groh said that she didn't feel it was "appropriate" to discuss the College's disciplinary actions. "I can't speak as to the civil aspect," she said. President Christopher Breiseth agreed with Lampe-Groh's statement "There are rights of several people involved," he added, "and we have to be careful to protect their rights--his and her rights." According to police, the case is still under investigation. Investigating officers were Brian Lavan and R.

He was taken to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and then airlifted to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. Lampe-Groh said that the extent of Seig's injuries was unknown. She said the doctor's report stated that it was too early to determine whether he would be paralyzed, but that it was a "possibility." An informal gathering will be held for people who know Seig, saw the accident, or were emotionally affected by the accident. Mark Allen, Director of Residence Life, and Mark Sowcik, Director of Campus Counseling, invite students to come to the second floor of the SUB Monday, March 30, at 9 p.m. The incident is still being investigated by the Student Affairs Office.

Pictured are Lisa A. Barker (seated) and Barbara Guise, Anthony · ula, and George Ralston (standing, from left). Do you know where the Alumni Office is located? Many students aren't sure until they are seniors and have to get the Alumni Office signature on their senior papers. The Alumni Office is located in · the Annette Evans Alumni House, between the SUB and Stark, and is becoming an increasingly important part of the Wilkes College community. The next question is, "What exactly does the Alumni Office do?" The office is designed to maintain relations with and support Wilkes graduates, promote a sense of community among the Wilkes community, and also aid in recruitment of students. Anthony Shipula, Director of Alumni Relations, said, "We are making more progress in many areas. We are contacting more alumni. We are identifying successful alumni and telling their success stories to the alumni of Wilkes College, as well as to the public, so that each one of our graduates can be proud of our degree from Wilkes. We want people to truly recognize the quality education that we receive as students here." Shipula graduated from Wilkes in 1978 with a B.S. in Business. · He was chosen for the position during a job search. Shipula was involved in the office already as an alumni volunteer. "I felt the job was ar opportunity to expand on the worl that was being done," said Shipula "So far, we have increased ou alumni support to about 20 percenl which had fallen off significantly." Continued on p .. �PAGE TWO March 26, 1987 =Jr................... .\Edi to rialmmijijiuuuummi . .<~1t111111jl1fm Reader response incidents Weekend need to be addressed Early last Friday morning (March 19) a Wilkes College junior broke into a female student's dormitory room. He was later apprehended and arraigned on charges of burglary, criminal attempt, and simple assault. Also last weekend, a student fell in Pickering Hall and was transported to a Philadelphia hospital for treatment. The student, according to reports, may "possibly" be paralyzed. It is speculated that the accident was alcohol related. Incidences such as these are obviously not regular occurances at Wilkes--at least not to this extent. But there does seem to be a problem: The origin ?f this pr?blem is ~ot clear. The fact is, however, t4at there 1s a certam mentality among Wilkes College students that allows such incidents to occur. This same mentality is the root of other problems on campus--vandalism, for example. But what is the school doing to prevent and/or combat this problem? The Alcohol Disciplinary Board (ADB) was established to deal with alcohol related issues and to enforce the school's anti-alcohol policy. The general consensus is that the ADB is not able to effectively handle the problem on its own. The incident over the weekend is not the first time there have been alcohol related problems on campus. It is also not the last. The other issue, breaking and entering a dorm room is unquestionably a security probl~m. \Yhat is being don~ to prevent this from happenmg agam? Wilkes College officials seem to be more concerned with the College's image than working on a possible answer to such problems. Problems are often overlooked in order to save the face of the College. But the problems will not go away by ignoring them. The College must recognize that if the actions over the weekend (and incidents in the past) are indicative of the kind of behavior the Wilkes College student is capable of then the problems will not end here. What will it take before a stronger stance is taken by the College in regard to such issues? Questions such as those posed here need to be considered. The image of the College in the final analysis may be damaged if the problems at hand are not dealt with intelligently and in a straightforward manner. trbi 11iliacou· 'Understanding is the true road to "GOD Dear Editor: [In response to "Not much is really sacred," March 19 issue of The Beacon.] To John I must say, "What?!" Your article makes many points, but in the end the overall point seems to be, "Everything you do, in an attempt to make you realize that you have a soul, that does not work should be abandoned." Where are the alternative suggestions? You say to go ahead and drink the beer, but you offer no practical suggestions. The main problem with the article is that it makes several obscure assumptions. First, that 'GOD' resides somewhere other than within ourselves; and second, that 'GOD' has a will. You say in your article that man tends to oversimplify 'GOD' and you've done so dramatically when you make these assumptions. Neither of these assumptions are true, however; in fact 'GOD' can be seen as a "higher level" source of understanding within each and every one of us. This source of understanding can be tapped into in several different ways. What should have been made more clear in your article was that if the form of self-denial being practiced does not give us a different perspective of our surroundings (and that is the Qnlx reason to practice self-denial) then attempt to try something else.

Last weekend's show merely repeated the pattern of other campus events held this semester--the Chicago City Limits show, the Dating Game, and Winter Weekend. Several letters to the editor complaining about the immaturity of Wilkes students at these events have appeared in The Beacon already, and I was determined to hold my peace and dismiss these as isolated incidents, not at all typical of Wilkes students. But no~ I'm not so sure they're unconnected. The Garner show was the last straw: it not only annoyed me, it saddened me. Call me a woman of Victorian principles, but I can't help thinking, first of all, that people can indeed have a good time while sober and, second, that something can be funny without referring to sex, sexual organs, or homosexuality. All four of the events I've mentioned have something in common: they show what can only be referred to as the general level of immaturity on campus. Think this is simply preaching on my part? Before you tum the page, take a look at these examples. At the Chicago City Limits show, during which the comedians used audience participation in many skits, almost all of the suggestions from the audience concerned sex in some form. And although Winter Weekend is, by now, probably a sore subject, consider the participants' conduct once again. Come on, folks, howevermuch you try to justify it as "good clean fun," urinating on. a wall just isn't classy. · Finally, think about the Dating Game. Many people went expecting to see something similar to the television show, perhaps a little less G-rated, but certainly not approaching something you'd find in the Penthouse Forum. Instead, we were "treated" to the sight of several backsides and one man's Fruit-of-the-Looms and more references to National Condom week than all the brochures from all the Health Services Offices nationwide. I'm sure. alcohol was a factor in the conduct at several of these events. Enough has been said about the kegs at Winter Weekend already, but somehow I don't think that sober people throw things at cars and urinate on walls, even ii they are just out to "have· a good time" with friends. As far as the Dating Game is concerned, I understand that large quantities of alcohol were present backstage so the contestants could get "prepped" for the show. It's harder to tell what role alcohol played in the other two events, but I would find it hard to believe that everyone in the audience was sober. And let's face it, most people will laugh at anything when they're drunk, even racist jokes. I'm not a prude, and this column is not an attack on either drinking or sex. What it is trying to attack is what seems to be the "Wilkes College state of mind," in which the only two things that matter are getting drunk and getting "satisfaction," as Mick Jagger put Many first to twelfth grade elementary and junior high school pupils now await one hour a week science, chemistry, and biology. volunteer tutors who will provide Tutors are also needed for free one-to-one tutoring at the elementary reading, Spanish, eleYMCA, 40 W.

The most meaningful retreat I was a part of was during the first weekend of February this year. It was held at The Fatima Center in Elmhurst. The retreat, entitled "Chrism," was open to any college-age student in Northeastern Pennsylvania. There were only four of us from Wilkes College, including the ~ampus minister to Wilkes College, Tony Vento. I didn't know what to expect from this retreat because I didn't mow anyone from the area and I wasn't familiar with how retreats .vere run in this area. But I gave it a shot, and I can't tell you how much I have benefited from it. On Friday night, forty of us, plus a brother and priest here and there, were asked to tell someone who we didn't know our life story in sixty seconds. When we were done, we told the group what we learned. This is an example of an "icebreaker." Its function is simply to make people feel more comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. After having a couple of "icebreakers," we met in small groups, consisting of five or six people, with two group leaders in each small group. A talk was given on values by my group leader. What he did was explain his values and how they have changed after several experiences in life. We would react in small groups to what he said and talk about our values. Saturday was the longest day but the most fulfilling. Several _talks were given on such topics as friendship, God, self-confidence, and love. Saturday night at about 9:00 we had a penance service. Prayers were read, music was played, and an opportunity for reconciliation was given. To me, the reconciliation service was the most rewarding because it gave me time to reflect on everything that was said on the weekend and time to turn my thoughts to myself and think. The music affected me the most, probably because I am an amateur musician. Everyone had a good time; it was evident in the singing and laughter. Sunday morning we had a ~losing _ mass and said our goodbyes. I still keep in touch with the people I met on the retreat. Students from University of Scranton, Bloomsburg, King's, Misericordia, University of Pennsylvania, and Mansfield all made the retreat worthwhile by sharing what was important to them with others and by having a good time. It's difficult for me to explain exactly what a retreat is. The only thing I can say is that it's what we all make of it, and the only way to find out is to come on the retreat April 3, 4, and 5. We're leaving sometime Friday after dinner and returning Sunday after mass. I can't force anyone to go; I can only share my experience with you and hope you'll be curious enough and open-minded enough to come on this retreat and share yourself. It's a risk, but it's a risk worth taking. Office from p. 1 of the most in office is to 1 the graduates. 13,438 active al list.

Shipula would like more alumni to come to campus to recruit and support the College to high school students. "What we did this year, in cooperation with the Admissions Office, was contact alumni ·and had them attend college fairs," said Shipula. Eleven alumni attended 12 college fairs, and Wilkes received 100 percent support from the alumni asked to attend. "We feel this type of thing is important," Mr. Shipula said, "because it helps the College grow." Shipula has even more plans to expand and improve the Alumni Office and its work. For next year's Homecoming, he hopes to book a big name into the Kirby Center for the entertainment of alumni and students alike. As you can see, the Alumni Office does much more than sign senior papers. Developed for new graduates in 1979, this program is approximately three months in length. It allows each graduate nurse to form a one-to-one alliance with an experienced RN. Special clinical skills are first learned in a simulated setting, and then applied in clinical practice.

Many buildings which are used for dorms and classes are nearly three-quarters of a century old. The river common area is a site for a nice nap on a lazy spring day. One person carelessly tosses a wrapper on the ground, then another, then another, then another. Someone throws a Burger King wrapper out the window. Leaves from fall still lie on the ground and hedges are growing new shoots. This means college students, faculty and administration should chip in and help restore the beauty of the campus. Circle K members and administration are discussing the date of Campus Beautification Day. This function will be open to everyone and take place on an April weekend. Students on the Campus Beautification Committee who attended the event last year said it involves trimming hedges, picking up garbage and planting shrubs. People will be asked to bring their own tools.

The featured DJs for the second installment of the WCLH spotlight are the two energetic gentlemen who are responsible for the Punk and Hard Core show that airs Thursday nights from 9 p.m. until 12 a.m. Are you wondering just what hard core and punk is? I am sure most of you, at one time or another, have heard some kind of punk or hard core music. Punk is an original music movement of the 1970's. A major cause of the punk movement, according to Gregg Shimp, the man responsible for the punk influences of the show, was the high rate of unemployment in England. People were dissatisfied and needed an outlet to express this disillusionment with the system. This earlier music differs from hard core in that it is is more political. Gregg is very familiar with the history of punk music. He says that punk began, n0t with an English group as most of us are prone to think, but with an American band, The Ramones, of all people. The Ramones took their style of music to England and spawned what developed into modem punk. Also, a major element in the development of punk was disco music. Says Gregg, "punk started as a reaction to disco. It was so completely opposite from it." From punk came hard core. According to Gary Fabiano, the hard core fan of the pair, hard core music is "loud, fast music which I think gets a point across. That's one of the reasons I listen. They (the groups) have a lot of good things to say." This music is considered a later form of punk. It deals with vital issues such as toxic waste, war, and nuclear weapons. Gregg's definition of hard core calls it "a little harder and faster. The music has energy and gives the listener energy." Gary Fabiano, a sophomore art major from Neptune, New Jersey, has been at the station since he began at Wilkes. Says Gary, "I wanted to expose people to the kind of music I like, so I approached them with a hard core show. I didn't know much about punk but I met up with Gregg who is really knowledgeable in early punk. We combined and have had a killer show ever since. Gary remembers that his musical taste really began with groups like The Who. Then, in the 9th or 10th grade, he began listening to hard core and has been listening from that time on. Some of Gary's favorite music now includes 7 Seconds, Minor Threat, Uniform Choice, and Youth of Today. He was "a rebellious type" in high school and that may have something to do with his choice in music. "Hard core and punk is like an outlet for kids that are sick of doing what everyone else does. . .tired of conforming. The music reduces tension," relates Gary. In the future, Gary wants to get into the art field. "My concentration in art is sculpting so I'd like to work somewhere in the art profession until I can establish myself as a sculptor," Gary says of his future plans. "More importantly, I don't want to do commercial art because I don't want to be part of the rat race." Gary feels that WCLH has helped in his future plans because, "it looks gogd in your background. It is also good to know you have your FCC license and can be a DJ anywhere in the country." Gary also feels that he is gaining a sense of responsibilty from his position at WCLH. Gregg Shimp, the other show. Gregg began listening to punk when he was in the seventh grade. Suprisingly, that was the first music he ever really got into. His favorites include The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Dead Boys, and especially the Buzzcocks. Gregg thinks that one of the most important aspects of WCLH I II iences at the station will because, "if art doesn't career I could always use iL' Much like Tobino's Walton's (last week's feat feelings about their music, feels that the exposure IO hard core music is quite li the area. "I don't think that people were exposed IO hard Gary speculates. "I'm not that no one listened to the but as soon as the show more people got exposed." Both Gary and Gregg ri a major drawback of the that many people stereotype that listen to it. Says Gary, many people confuse it drinking or drugs.

Slam basically "contact dancin( which groups of people get on the dance floor and throw member of the hard core and punk team, is a sophomore from Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He is also an art major. He began getting interested in radio when he worked at a station in his hometown during the summer. He thought it was fun and knew he wanted to keep doing it at school. Gregg began at WCLH with a regular "new music" show but then met up with Gary and they pooled their respective talents to produce their present is that they play all new music. "That's what's cool about the station. They play only new music, no Top 40." This format, of course, gives a show like Gary's and Gregg's a chance. It can be said that the hard core and punk show on WCLH is one of a kind. In the future, Gregg's plans differ Gary's. "I want to get into commercial art, mainly album covers and promotional items for bands."

Acquired stupidity, while Pisces-swallow your prid~ a Skinner box deeply engendered by our early schooling, is not arrested in school. it pervades society. Some people proceed blindly throughout their entire life, while some do so only certain times of the day. I've narrowed the cause of this temporary numbness to a fundamental hang-up--the fear of being in an environment that we have not chosen. And, consequently, the fear of appearing inadequate in this threatening atmosphere. If we enter such an atmosphere conscious of all its elements, we can avoid acquired stupidity. That is, if we seize even the most tedious tasks with an eagerness to control our situation, we will not become conditioned like the student or churchgoer who feels he is being kept from someplace he'd much rather be. To the blindly compliant, the Principle of Buoyancy is just another dumb formula; the Lord's Prayer is just another empty recitation; employment is just another tedious duty. I've found acquired stupidity very visible at the restaurant I cook in on weekends. The two waitresses I work with are fun, imaginative people until they step into my kitchen. Then ignorance seems to usurp the turf of their minds and builds a solid lean-to there. Locked into what they have become conditioned to consider their "job-description," they enter a kitchen that is as remote as a classroom, and their effort to get the job done and appear adequate leaves my kitchen a mess. Jars, spoons, and dishes get scattered all over my cutting board. All the elements of the kitchen are but obstacles to them. They must shove them out of their path. "Candy, that's a lid," I'll say; "It goes on that jar." This appraoch fails. The kitchen has little in common with the one they have at home, and its contents are neaµy fit into this category--"things I don't want to know about." I hav~ found an approach that works. I have transformed the kitchen into a huge Skinner Box. B.F. Skinner devised a method of modifying the behavior of pigeons by conditioning them to respond to certain stimuli. He borrowed the idea from Pavlov who was able to condition "natural" responses in dogs. But Skinner's technique "shaped" behavioral responses. If a pigeon pecked a certain spot in the Skinner Box, it was rewarded. After much pecking and rewarding, the pigeon would catch on to the connection between the peck and the reward.

Chris, a senior from Central Moreland, Pennsylvania, has held the position of General Station Manager for WCLH, the radio station here at Wilkes, for the past year. Her duties at the station entail "the day to day operation of the station." This day to day operation includes overseeing the duties of the other members of the staff and the DJs and generally making sure that everything runs properly. One of her main goals is to "create a feeling of belonging among the DJs." After all, morale is important Perhaps the most vital part of Chris' job involves the public relations aspect of her position because it has so much to do with her future career. Chris is pursuing a double major in English and Communications at Wilkes and is interested in getting into public relations as a career. In her positon at WCLH, she is responsible for sending out announcements, making sure that WCLH events are wellpublicized and noticed, and working to maintain the station's image. Chris noted some of the things that have been going on with WCLH. This year )they instituted a news team and a list of the Top 35 are just beginning for Wilkes College Circle K. Last month, they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a banquet at the Sheraton Crossgates. This mon th , there was celebrating of a different sort. Over the weekend of March 13-15, Wilkes Circle K basked in the radiance of a fine year at the Pennsylvania DiStrict Convention in Altoona. The Wilkes Circle K'ers, advised on campus by Mr. Phil Tuhy, showed that th ey are truly one of the best clubs in the state, bringing home nine individual and club honors. They took firS t place in single service with th e winning project, "Special Day wi th Special People." The event was an all-day picnic wi th the physically and mentally handicapped of the area. The chairpeople were Michelle Ratchford and Cheryl Kukoski. Circle K also took first in the .Inter- club category. An Interclub is achieved when at least three club members from a group meet w1·th members from different clubs. It is measured in total hours per people participating. This year's winning total was a startling 43,000 hours. In comparison, last year's winning total (also won by Wilkes) was 6,500 hours. Wilkes took second place in the Achievement category. This category is measured by the most service proiects. They also took ' thircLin the Scrapbook competition. This year's scrapbook was designed by Michael Fender and Cheryl Kukoski and had a 25th anniversary theme. Individuals also stood out when this year's awards were announced. Debbie Pavlico garnered Outstanding President; Laura View copped the honors of Outstanding Secretary, and Stephen Morris came out on top with the award of Outstanding Treasurer. Convention time also brings with it the election of a new District Board. Wilkes was not short in the honors there either. The present Distict Secretary, year.

In addition, WCLH celebrated its 15th anniversary and hosted a party that brought back some illustrious alumni back to the station. Also highlighting this year was a visit from DJs from Bloomsburg University and most recently, a hoagie sale to raise funds for the student-run station. Chris was responsible for making sure all these things ran smoothly. Christine, a member of the Who's Who for 1987, has always been active in campus related activites. For the past three years she has been involved in many activites, including Cue 'N' Curtain, chorus, and the Cap and Bell singers. She has also taken voice and piano lessons, worked with the school musicals, and is a church organist on weekends. In addition, she worked at WCLH as music director, and is currently dorm president of Doane Hall. In addition to her involvement with campus activites, Chris holds several part-time jobs, including one at the radio station WEMR (am1460). Chris works at an internship at WBRE, TV28. Obviously, these jobs help her in her role as Station Manger at WCLH. In the future, Chris intends to keep working at her part time jobs and eventually hopes to earn a position in public relations at either a radio or television station. WCLH could prove to be a help to her in these plans. If you want to hear more of Chris you can catch her radio show on Tuesdays from 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. •• •• •• •• ••• •• ••• •• ••• • Your # 1 Mail Order Source for Brand Name Computer Hardware and Software at -Unbelievably Low Discount Prices.-Check out our every day low prices.STUDENT DISCOUNTS ...

He placed the volunteer on the table and started making lewd and obscene gestures and facial expressions. This was uncalled for, to say the least Another fine example of Garner's brand of "humor" was his hypnotized, dancing "banana." The banana danced behind a cloth in front of his pelvic area, imitating a certain part of male anatomy that was hardly appropriate. After all, the illusion would have held just as much weight without the lewd gestures, so why include them? At one point after the onset of the banana business a mother and her young son got up and left the CPA. Granted, the show was a college function, but still is that what college is focused upon? Overall, excluding the offcolor humor, which focused upon racial slurs, sexual humor, and drug jokes, the magic was acceptable. The one good thing that can be said was that the show was only one hour long, just long enough to offend, but not long enough to cause a riot igh fashion for Spring Break! Recently, the Center for Instructional Communications announced its intention to maintain operation during the 1987-1988 academic year. The program recently received funding from the Faculty Development Committee, enabling the Center to proceed in its effort to improve the quality of classroom teaching at Wilkes College. CIC is located in Chapin Hall, room 10, and is under the codirection of Ms. Jane ElmesCrayhall and Dr. Bradford Kinney. The goal of the program is to provide faculty with means other than official peer review or tenure evaluation procedures for improving their teaching skills. These skills include the areas of voice projection, lecturing styles and format, and reading student feedback. Faculty members who request the service open their classrooms to the observation of either Dr. _Kinney or Ms. Elmes-Crayhall and are provided with a professionally written evaluation, as well as video material. This video material will. be reviewed by the participant and the director on a confidential, one-toone basis. "The quality of teaching at Wilkes is part of its dynamic, and we believe the Center contributes to that dynamic because faculty are helping faculty improve their teaching," commented Elmes. "The common experience we share is a desire to improve our teaching methods," she added. To date, the Center has provided a total of 29 observations and tapings with a variety of departments participating, including the Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Engineering, Nursing, and Speech, Communications and Theater Arts Departments. The Writing Lab has also particiapted. Dr. Kurt Bottjer, a first year instructor from the Biology Departn1ent, was one of the ten faculty who sought the experience of the CIC. Considering his relatively new position, Bottjer felt that the service would provide him with a fresh approach to instruction at Wilkes. "In my opinion, the Center serves as an excellent monitoring service. I turned to the program in order to improve my own teaching abilities," commented Bottjer. "With this type of constructive criticism, a teacher is able to perform more effectively," he added. "I think it's important to have professors · with dynamic and energetic teaching skills," said senior communications/English major Chris Bolcarovic.

Coach Bob Duliba and his baseball team just may be on to something this year. There, I said it. There may have been no joy in Colonelville last year, but this year, baseball fans, will be different. The . new season brings with it some new faces, a position change or two, the further development of some talented people and, most importantly, a winning attitude. This team means buisness, folks. Forget that the Crusaders canned them in a doubleheader on Saturday and the Huskies humbled them again on Sunday. Forget the 24 record. The Colonels slow start may be attributed to a lack of realization of just how good this team can be. A little confidence goes a long way, guys. We know that you are good and you certainly know it. Now is the time to prove it This is quite a turn around from just one year ago. We might as well refer to last year's campaign as the "Navy" season because every game was an adventure. Coach Duliba will finally be able to throw out all of those boxes of AlkaSelzer he collected last April. It seems as though over this past hoiday _break, several of the Colonels found where they had misplaced their bats and gloves during last season. That is very good news for Coach Bob Duliba and for us fans who are yearning for a legitimate contender to cheer for. The heck with cautious optimism, fans.

The Black Students Coalition is trying to achieve several objectives. "The initial purpose," said Kevin Lawrence, "is getting the blacks together." The organization would also like to serve as a bridge between the blacks on campus and members of the community. The founding committee feels the blacks at Wilkes are not being viewed in a true light by the community due to a lack of communication. "We would like to get them [the black students] more involved in College and community affairs," said Timothy Walker. Kevin Lawrence also feels the BSC will become an important tool in helping those black students on campus to identify with each other. He feels the BSC could maintain such an identity for the 15-20 black students who reside on campus. The Black Students Coalition may serve as an aid to increase Continued on p. 3 Have a problem?

Missing from picture Thirty people, including committee members, attended last week's open hearings on the _proposed Core Curriculum. According to Sharon Telban, chairperson of the Core Curriculum Review Committee, eight students, 16 faculty and staff members, and six committee members came to the three meetings held last Wednesday and Thursday. Some people came to more than one meeting, she noted. Telban felt that the "quality of questions" asked was "impressive." "I think the questions they asked showed that people thought about it and thought about the impact it would have on students," she said, adding, "The students asked good questions." Questions were raised on several topics, including the possibility of overlapping distribution courses, the freshman seminar, the foreign language proficiency, and J?hysical education requirements. Another area of discussion, Telban said,- was the "insurance of the quality of teachin!:, in the distribution." The question was' asked, "What will the impact be on educational excellence?" A student who went to two meetings noted that she talked to Telban after one meeting and found it "more informative" than the meetings themselves. The student explained that when she first went to the meetings, she did not agree with the proposed revisions. "But after speaking to Sharon," she said, "I think they have the right idea. It does seem like thay have a reason and a plan for it." "I feel a lot better about it after talking to her," she added. But the student feels that the meetings themselves were "political." She explained, "The whole idea of changing the Core is political, and a lot of political things came out at that meeting." As an example, she cited the Admissions Office's opposition to the proposed foreign language requirement The next meeting of the. Core Curriculum Review Committee will be held tomorrow, ApriC2, at 2:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Nursing Deparment.

This sort of organization is long overdue at Wilkes. The organizers should .be applauded for taking a difficult initial step in ~ttemptmg to create a greater awareness that such groups are m fact needed among the Wilkes College community. The purpose of the group, as stated in the article, is not to separate, but to bring together the blacks on and off campus with other black students, campus organizations, and the local community. The basic goals established in this· statement of purpose should serve as a springboard for the formation of other such groups on campus. Wilkes College, however, is behind the times as. far as SUJ?port. ?rganizations are .concerned. Other colleges and umversmes around the nat10n have recognized that support groups are cru~ial.. This is evidenced in the variety and number of organ1zat1ons found on campuses. Gay alliances and womens' groups are two of the many support organizat~ons being formed to bring together people with common mterests and concerns. In .addition to their social function, the groups also, and more importantly, serve as a means of support for its members. Students are able to meet and discuss special problems and issues that they are faced with as members of that group. . Taking the first step in any new area is always the most difficult one. The BSC has started the ball rolling. Campus support groups that promote an open, healthy exchange of ideas and a sense of unity should be promoted and supported. The formation of the BSC will hopefully enfO!!rage ?ther groups to o~ganize coalitions on campus brmgmg Wilkes College more m tune with the times. -m:bt 1Altacon VOL.

Joe Bauman Advisor ..................................................................... Tom Bigler Dear Editor: In response to Q. Jane Circa's " sad commentary . . . " (March 26) I am sorry to say that I did not attend either the Bob Garner Show or Winter Weekend, but I was present at both The' Dating Game and Chicago City Limits. Call me crazy, but I got the impression that people there were enjoying themselves. I'm sure some people did drink before these events, but l'm equally sure most did not. As for sexual connotations and even sexual displays, anyone offended was at liberty to get up and leave any time; although I can't recall an instance when such an occurrence did't produce a roar of laughter and/or applause. Both The Dating Game and Chicago City Limits were audienceparticipation events, and thus the audience dictated the course of the evening. If they wanted shows "referring to sex, _sexual organs, or homosexuality," that's what they got. And what's wrong with it? These are people who, for the most part, are decent, if not hardworking, college students out for a good time. The purpose of college is not solely to educate, but also to socialize. Can anyone truly believe that the happenings of these two evenings were educationally detrimental or socially harmful; or that similar or "worse" things don't happen at other colleges, possibly the one just down the street? College years are almost by definition a time to enjoy yourself; raise a little Hell; and talk, joke, and (dare I say it) participate in activities involving sex or alcohol. If this isn't your idea of fun, fine: do what you like; but I wish people would stop trying to police the morals of others. Bill Moses Dear Editor: In recent issues of the Beacon a few articles appeared expressing disgust over occurances at the Engineering Club's annual Dating Game. It is my intent to clear up the misleading, ambiguous, and inaccurate remarks made in two of these articles, "The Dating Game: A Night to Remember?" by Holly A very; and "A Sad Commentary on Wilkes," by Q. Jane Circa. First, Holly Avery's article leads (or rather misleads) the reader to believe that the events that occured on stage at the Dating Game were planned in advance (most likely by the Engineering Club). This is completely wrong. Quite to the contrary, the only planning that is done for the Dating Game is to arrange to have the CPA for the evening and to obtain volunteers, from all majors within the college, to be contestants. Neither the questions to be asked nor the replies and actions are planned by the Engineering Club. Rather, the questions are planned by each individual that is to ask questions, and the replies and/or actions are not planned by anyone in advance, since the contestants do not know what questions will be asked. Also, I would like to point out that the majority of the contestants are not even Engineering majors let alone members of the Engineering Club. Therefore, I feel it was unfair as well as wrong of Holly to present the events that occurred as a poor reflection on the Engineering Club. In addition, I understand that Holly was upset mainly because she brought her young son to the show. I do not understand why anyone would bring a young child to &ll'. college function when they · know that things like this, and even worse, can and do occur. Would you bring a child to a college function? While Holly's article contains only facts, even if some are misleading, Q. Jane Circa's article not only misleads the reader, but twists the facts through ambiguity and innacuracy to paint a picture of the Dating Game that suits her article. To back up this point, I would like to quote Q. Jane's article: "As far as the Dating Game is concerned, I understand that large quantities of alcohol were present backstage so the contestants could get 'prepped' for the show." A reporter should not write on what Contributing Writers: Lee S. Morrell, Q Jane Circa, Kim Klimek, John Cusatis, Kathy Harris, Tami Kunkel, Marsha Howes. mean. Obviously, to Q. bottle of beer that I te amount, constitutes a quantity. It is also ob · this is just an example of Jane words a sentence such illustrates her point rather provides the reader with the facts. Poor reporting · opinion. Final! y, I would like IO out that the quote from Q. article misleads the r believing that the Enginee · provided, allowed or knew alcohol backstage. This is case, the truth is that nei Engineering Club nor any members provided, allo knew of alcohol backstage. In conclusion, I feel Beacon has painted a misleading and inaccurate the Engineering Club and acknowledge this fact by · formal apology. Also, I to ask Q. Jane Circa why she not use her real name when a misleading commentary?

A lot of people, both students and faculty, said they were surprised The Beacon ran the "Graves arraigned on charges" story. They didn't think the College would "let" The Beacon run the story. To me, this shows that a lot of people don't understand the purpose of this paper. This is a student-run newspaper, and its purpose is communication, not covering things up or ignoring what needs to be said. This goes for students' actions-from criminal charges to immaturity--as well for as the actions of the administration. The Beacon's role is to report the news. But since the communication process is twofold, the rest of the College community has a responsibility, too. If you don't like something in The Beacon, let us know. That's what the "Reader Response" section's for. by Kim Klimek Are you planning to look for a job in the near future? College is a means to reach your "dream job." Many students have the misconception that getting a job means they have to display superb college grade point averages. Although grades are important to employers, employers do not look at grades alone. They also look at an applicant's extracurricular activities. After meeting with the Volunteerism Committee, Jane Elmes-Crahall, assistant professor of speech, communications, and theater arts, decided it was time to hold a workshop on extra-curricular activities. Through Elmes-Crahall's planning, students will be able to attend "What Recruiters Look For When Hiring College Graduates: The Value of Extra-curriculars" sponsored by the Committee o'n Volunteerism and the Career Planning Office. She said that many students do not see the payoff in joining extracurricular activities, but she hopes that the panel discussion will help students see the opportunities through the experiences of others. The disussion will be held during activity period on Thursday, April 9, at 11 a.m. in Stark 101 when extra-curricular groups meet sO"advisors may bring groups to it. Anyone interested may attend. Four Wilkes College graduates will be present to talk about the importance of extra-curricular activities in their job experiences.

In addition to Wilkes students, many people outside the campus have expressed interest in joining the group. In its constitution, the Black Students Coalition lists its goals as follows: (I) Establish a forum whereby black students and its members can meet :md interact with each other. (2) To apprise black students of special programs and of other opportunities within the College community and Wilkes-Barre. _ (3) To address the problems faced by members of our organization. (4) To aid Wilkes College in exploring means of increasing black student enroIIment. (5) To seek opportunities to participate in community-sponsored activities. (6) To provide an atmosphere of openness between ourselves and other campus-sponsored organizations.

This unknown, potential rapist is the one our mothers have warned us about-don't walk alone on the streets at night, don't go to a movie or play by yourself, always check the back seat of your car before entering, and observe possible escape routes should you be approached by an unknown male. The threat of rape by a stranger causes women to restrict their activities, perhaps change their lifestyle. But the stranger rapist is not the only one-we must be concerned about Indeed, a rapist may be someone we know; he could be a colleague, ex-boyfriend, classmate, or neighbor. Picture this account taken from Ms. magazine of October, 1985. "It was the beginning of spring break when I was a junior. I was in good spirits and had been out to dinner with an old friend. We returned to his college (dorm). There were some seniors on the ground floor, drinking beer, playing One of them, John, wasn't playing, but he was interested in the game. I found him attractive. We talked, and it turned out we had a mutual friend, shared experiences. It was getting late, and my friend had gone up to bed, so John offered to see me safely home. We took our time, sat outside talking for awhile. Then he said we could get inside one of the most beautiful campus buildings, which was usually locked at night. I went with him. Once we were inside, he kissed me. I didn't resist. I was excited. He kissed me again. But when he tried for more, I said no. He just grew completely silent. I couldn't get him to talk to me anymore. He pinned me down and ripped off my pants. I couldn't believe it was happening to me .. . " This incident clearly demonstrates the difference between stranger rape· and acquaintance or date rape, a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of researchers for the past several years. The act of rape, using coersion or force to have sex with a person against her will, is the same in both instances. The difference between the two is trust. A victim of acquaintance/date rape is not only violated physically bridge. I'm an avid player, so we but psychologically. Comments joined them, joked around a lot. such as, "I trusted him," or "He was my friend," or "I can't believe it happened to me" convey this. Guilt, shame, misunderstanding, and silence surround the victim of acquaintance/date rape. Statistics from a recent Ms. Magazine Campus Projtct on Sexual Assault survey confirm the widespread incidence of acquaintance/date rape on campuses throughout the nation. This survey reached 7,000 students at thirty-five schools. Some of the results are: --52% of all women surveyed have experienced some form of sexual victimization. --One in every eight women were the victims of rape, according to the prevailing legal definition. --One in every twelve men admitted to having fulfilled the prevailing definition of rape or attempted rape, yet virtually none of these men identified themselves as rapists. --Of the women who were raped, almost three quarters did not identify their experience as rape. --47% of the rapes were by first or casual dates or by romantic acquaintances. --Three quarters of the women raped were between the ages of 15 and 21; the average age at the time of the rape was 18. --More than 80% of the rapes occurred off-campus, with more than 50% on the man's turf: home, car, or other. --More than one third of the women raped did not discuss their experience with anyone; more than 90% did not tell the police. What might be done to reduce the incidence of acquaintance/date rapes? Eighteen-year-old college students are most vulnerable to acuaintance/date rape. Therefore, colleges need to provide all female and male students with information about this type of rape. Orientation would seem to be the ideal time to do this. Other services colleges can provide are crisis interven advocacy and women's st grams that educate about and rape. Lastly, young and men can begin to talk about their beliefs and ex about sex. When women say they may need to say it lo clearly, and men may need to serious! y and hear the "no." c.c. M.D.A.

March 25, brought the Third World Lecture Series to a close. The last installment featured Dr. Ilan Peleg, the chairman of the Department of Government and Law at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Dr Peleg gave a lecture entitled, "The Other Arms Race: Soviet-American Arms Supplies to the Third World." The lecture was introduced by Joel Bedatsky, chairman of the HistoryPolitical Science Department Dr. Peleg opened his lecture by questioning the effectiveness of the Strategic Defense Initiative (S.D.I.), perhaps better known as "star wars." He touched on the possible consequences 'of this system. One example given was the "Nuclear Winter," as deatiled by Carl Sagan. Dr. Peleg pointed out that "although the other arms race is not well understood, [it is] more politically important than a USUSSR balance." In fact, between the years 1972-1980, the USSR supplied Iraq with between 4 1/2 and 5 billion dollars in arms. Dr. Peleg also gave som~ reasons that the USSR supplies many countries with defense. First, _it is a good way to lure a country out of "corporation" with the US. Second, the USSR has nothing else to offer but weapons. Third, the USSR supplies arms to guarantee bases and ports in the Third World. Dr. Peleg also pointed out the changes in United States policy toward arms. In the 1950's the U.S. practiced "relative restraint" otherwise translated as "we build arms but keep them to ourselves·-we don't sell." This attitude ~(?ntinued__ through the 1970's at which point we began "unrestrained supply." This tranlates as "we build our own arms and sell to other nations." In 1976, President Jimmy ·carter brought back "relative restraint," but with 1980 came Ronald Reagan and a return to "unrestrained supply." In fact, according to Dr. Peleg, "In 1982, the U.S. sold 22 billion dollars worth of arms." Dr. Peleg disagrees with President Reagan's policy and closed by saying, "Despite powerful coalition, I think there is a profound reason to work for restraint." After a question and answer period, Dr. Christopher Breiseth thanked all involved and congratulated Dr. Kenneth Bauzon, coordinator of the Series on a job well done.

Dr. Herman has plans to improve Wilkes' academic environment. One of his goals is to institute a "Word of the Day" program to improve students' vocabulary. Dr. Herman wants to create several new majors at Wilkes, in Cartooning, Claymation Management, and Scooter Maintenance and Repair. He also wants to replace the traditional "Ralston Cheer" with his trademark "Tequila" dance and form the "P. W. Herman Bicycle Safety Club" for the cycle enthusiasts on campus. Dr. Herman is well-qualified for the position. He graduated from Harvard University with undergraduate degrees in Wordology and Culinary Arts, with a minor in icecream soup.

A nationwide epidemic of declining college enrollment has not passed by Wilkes College without leaving its mark. The Declining Freshmen Enrollment Committee has been formed to evaluate the possible source of the problem and to make recommendations to correct the problem (besides, Wilkes needed one more committee to win the "Private College with the Highest Number of Meaningless Committees Award.") The committee has devised a new admissions test for incoming freshmen that will help raise enrollment for next semester. The Bacon believes the committee has done a fine job. The devised tests are more difficult than the present admissions tests but in the long run will increase the competitiveness of the College. Good work!! 0 A.

Watch out for men with three arms, wearing Burger King uniforms! �What a way to Thousands, maybe even hundreds, packed into the Wilkes College gym last week to watch a classic basketball matchup between the Willces faculty and the Wilkes students. The faculty boasted that, although they were slow, they had a superior game plan that would lead them to victory. They would not comment on just what that plan was. The students were not intimidated, though, as they cited youth as their principal advantage. The faculty enlisted the help of Coach Ron Rainey in developing their skills. The students had stellar basketball player Jeff Steeber to guide their efforts. As game time approached, the crowd was entertained by the cheerleading squaqs for each team. First, leading the faculty cheerers, was Dean George Ralston who stirred fans with the Colonel yell. He was followed by President Breiseth, Dean Jane Lampe-Groh, and Jane Manganella, who performed an acrobatic routine to inspire support for the faculty. Leading the student cheering section were Scott Zolner and Keith Manchester. They performed an intricate routine involving bananna peels and marshmallows. With game time close at hand, our Sports Information Director, Patty Moran, had the duty of introducing the starting lineups for each team. Playing center for the faculty squad was Dr. Kuo-Kang Shao. Quoted before the game, Dr. Shao said, "we must transform our potentialities into actualites." Point guard duties were to be handled by Dr. Thomas Kaska of the Language and Literature Department. "I goose butterflies for a living, so scorching the nets is nothing new to me," commented Dr. Kaska. The other guard position was played by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht. When asked about his team's chances, Dr. Houseknecht replied, "by and large, I think our secret game plan will make the difference." Houselcnecht also declined to elaborate on the plan. "Let me interject," Mr. George Gera, the teams forward, stated, "we are all very bright people on this team. I hope you all recognize that. We have come up with a superior game plan." Rounding out the lineup and playing the other forward spot was Dr. Joseph Salsburg.

They · identity affinned . tity is defined by the gist Erik Erikson as "the accrued confidence of sameness and continuity." By about high school age, we become conscious of the identity we are developing. In the following years, we may battle with our identity either because we are uncomfortable with it, or because we have a tough time putting our thumbs on the nature of our indentity. Erikson calls the latter problem "role confusion." I have tried to discover the cause of role confusion, ancj, I believe that the problem is inherent in the name. If we see ourselves as having to perform a "role," we will naturally become confused when the identity that seems fitting for the "play" receives no applause, or worse, if the role we must play conflicts with our real impression of the world. If we are too identity conscious, we become a misrepresentation of ourselves. Identity should develop as a natural result of our choices. Our choices should not result from a preconceived, forced identity. Authentic consistency in our behavior and thinking is not the result of a contrived identity. Rather than allow our identity to result from our own personal principles, we sometimes base decisions on their ability to fit into the image we feel we project. Our identity becomes "image" when it becomes so conspicuously publicconscious. We play a role: "How would a yuppie respond to that could mean "style" strata," both of which very conscious. She aware of a public or "social this girl was was always eye. This contributed to my tiring of the role of boyfriend. I remember years ago, after one date with a girl, her friend told me that "she liked me because I had 'class."' I found that term incongruous with any impression I had of myself. Not that I didn't think I had class. But I didn't think I had displayed the connotations of her "class." But I discovered myself trying to behave consistent with this identity that she had secured for me. It was all very ridiculous. Identity gives birth to itself. And as it grows into fruition, so developsself-confidenceandproductivity. We limit ourselves when we allow another to lock us into their image of us or when we strive to project an image. We like to have some context with which to identify; it gives us balance. But society encourages us to be simple. People identify you with your job or your last name. Think once of the complexity of any human body part. Think of the brain. Why should anyone deny its complexity by forging a life that is based on a duplicated image. My friend wants to start wearing cowboys hats. But he knows everyone who knows him will make fun of him. He'd better face it. It's too late to start wearing cowboy hats.

A of the prestigious Julliard of music, he shared his love · as both a performer and . Prior to joining the of Wilkes College, he as Director of Instrumental in Logan, Ohio; InstruTeacher and Director of and Orchestras at Walnut High School, Cincinnatti, and an instructor of band clinics at Ohio University. In the years immediately before and after World War II, he performed with professional stage and dance bands throughout the eastern, midwestern, and southern United States. A recounting of even these achievements, however, does little justice to a man whose true gift was to inspire dedication and excellence in thousands of students during his career. Better proof of Gasbarro's gift can be illustrated in the enviable records of these students, and the respect for him that many have exhibited in returning to the College for this concert. Among the first musical careers that blossomed under Gasbarro's tutelage was that of Richard Stoltzman, recognized internationally as one of the foremost performers in the music world today. Stoltzman, who has perfonned before audiences in the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, will also perform at Wilkes College (i)n April 4, to honor his former instructor. Stoltzman's Wilkes appearance is scheduled around a 1987-88 concert tour that includes performances in Italy, Ger- many, and Denmark with the National, New Jersey, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Baltimore Symphonies, and a third engagement at Carnegie Hall. Also appearing on the program is Christine Donahue, an alumna of Wilkes and second place winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions. Another highlight of the Gasbarro Memorial Concert will be the performance of tubist Don Butterfield, a member of the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra. Butterfield was also Gasbarro's roommate at the Julliard School. Butterfield will offer a world premiere in Gasbarro's honor--Reflextion for clarinet and tuba, which he composed himself. Reflextion is one of three world premieres set for the April 4 concert. Also premiering will be Blossom for brass composed by Wilkes professor of music, Bruce Reiprich, organizer of the event;· and A Paganini for solo clarinet. A Paganini was composed by Gasbarro's former student, Edward Yadzinski, a Wilkes alumnus and member of the Buffalo Philhar- LEGAL EAGLES AUNIVERSAL P~tufl' c •-IHllU~SA<C"•!>lUOIQ i ,.. c manic Orchestra. The memorial concert will also bring alumnus Thomas Hrynkiw back to the Wilkes stage. He has achieved international acclaim as a concert pianist, recording artist, and studio teacher in New York City. The desire of Gasbarro's students, colleagues, and friends to appear at the event in his honor was witnessed again and again by Reiprich in planning the Memorial Concert. Reiprich is not surprised, however, at this show of loyalty. "The gift of music was one that William Gasbarro gave freely," he says. "It is perhaps the finest tribute of all that so many people are willing to join together on this occasion to return that gift to him." The public is cordially invited to attend the William R. Gasbarro Memorial Concert at no charge. For those who knew Gasbarro, the event will provide a fitting opportunity to share the occasion with others who hold his memory dear. For those who did not know him, however, the concert presents just as great an opportunity to witness, through the performances of Gasbarro's students and friends, his life's work which will live through all those he bas touched. �PAGETEN _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ April 1, 1987 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ oftb ow t-----ere's more anonew: to.- t t--_ ~ co e.

(Worthy was then fouled and made both shots, closing the door on the Hoyas.) Also, "the Shark," named for Reb's coach Jerry "Shark" Tarkanian, is the U.N.L.V. mascot. We should also mention the following who correctly answered, but, were not on time. They were in order of answering: Joe Botto, Tim Walker, Don Shaw, Michael Harrison, and Keith Kopec. All had their answers in within a fifteen minute span of the winner. It's just one week until opening day, BABY!

She said that students who were in the program have come back to her and said that applying their in-class experience in a job setting helped them, but that working in the business world was "a lot different" from working in the classroom. Ninety percent of all internships are paid positions, and these internships can lead to permanent jobs. "If the student is not offered a permanent position with the company, they are referred to a company that is hiring," Gibson said. "It's great for contacts." The Co-op Office provides special programs, as well, such as the "Washington Semester" program with the Washington Center. In this program, students gain 12 credits while particpating in an internship doing "anything you can think of' in Washington, said Gibson. The student pays only for the 12 credits; the College pays for the program and provides $500 for housing. _ Two students have participated in the program already. They are Pamela Jones, an English major, who had an internship with Fashion Flash magazine as an editorial assistant, and Walter Smith, a political science major, who worked for the Chamber of Commerce. Co-op internships are open to any student above the sophomore level. Gibson explained how to apply for an internship. "Anytime after your second semester, freshman year, go to the Co-op Office," she said, adding that students would then talk about counseling, work on resumes, talk about their interests, fill out a card, and list the type of positions they are interested in and geographic Continued on p. 4 Cheryl Gibson, director of Cooperative Education, help you gain practical experience through an internship. can egistration slow this year by Elizabeth Mazzullo L()l\ ... 1w~211\ fot$ wji !lt thttplat· ?rtstt>p fas is season int.op.

Registration is going "very slowly" this semester, according to Registrar Doris Barker. Unlike previous ,years, there aren't any long lines stretching through Sturdevant Hall this year. Some students report only having to stand in a line of two people to register. "The students are not coming in," she said. "The only time there's a line is when they're [the students] waiting for us to open the door." Barker said she's not sure why so few students are registering, but she believes the rainy weather might be a factor. "We have quite a few seniors who have not registered," she noted. As of Tuesday afternoon, according to Barker, 158 prospective seniors had not yet registered. Last semester, room numbers were left off the master schedule and students ·were required to pick up their room numbers when they arrived back on campus in January, enabling the College to get an accurate count of returning students. But room numbers appear on this semester's master schedule ·again. Barker said that leaving the numbers off was "trial and error." "It was strictly my idea," Barker said. • "The kids did cooperate, but it still didn't solve the problem." "We've got to find a better way of keeping tabs on who's here and who's not," Barker added.

Offending behaviors included foul language, graffitti, destruction of college property, poor manners, and lack of respect toward others.

According to Sharon Telban, chairperson of the Committee, the Committee discussed the details of the proposed Freshman Seminar course and the details of the selection of courses within the Distribution Requirements. "Our goal is to get it ready for submission to the faculty in May," said Telban. According to the schedule set for implementation of the proposed core, the model will be voted on in May by the faculty. Telban said the Committee is now working on details because the basic structure of the proposed core model is finished. The Committee needs to consider details, she added, "so that the package presented to faculty members contains enough detail so they can make an intelligent decision." "They know the structure," Telban said. "Now they need to know the intent of the structure.

So spoke George Washington on August 29, 1788. He was speaking about the ratification of the United States Constitution. This statement from Washington appeared in the program for the "Constitution Ratifying Convention: A Bicentennial Celebration" held Tuesday in the Center for the Performing Arts--a reenactment of that "great drama" in honor of the Constitotional Bicentennial. All of the first thirteen states were represented at the "Convention," which was coordinated by Susan Behuniak-Long, assistant professor of Political Science. The program began with a series of "ratification debates" between "Federalists" and "AntiFederalists." Speaking first for the Federalists, Walter Smith spoke in favor of ratifying the Constitution. Anti-Federalist Chris Penxa presented the other side of the debate. Other speakers followed. "State delegations" from local high schools' political science classes addressed questions to the Federalist and Anti-Federalist speakers. Delegates ratified the Constitution 10-3, and then proposed and rejected amendments. Behuniak-Long said that Co-op Continued from p. 1 preferences. "A student can develop his own placement if he would like. We would have the final approval as far as the job description goes," Gibson said. The Co-op Office boasts a job bank of over 200 employers, said Gibson. A newsletter comes out three times a year listing internship opportunities, or students can find out about internships through wordof-mouth or by looking on the Coop bulletin board outside of Stark Lobby, said Gibson. amendments dealing with the legalization of marijuana and with lowering the drinking age to 18 were rejected, as was an antiabortion amendment The first amendment that was passed, she said, was one which would guarantee free college-level education for everyone. Behuniak-Long noted that Tuesday's "Convention" wasn't historically correct She explained that the Constitution was written between May, 1787, and Sept., 1787, and ratified in the individual states. "We brought all 13 states together for a day to ratify. They never did that," she said. Behuniak-Long is teaching a topics course this semester entitled "The Constitution: 200 Years." "My class spent six weeks reenacting the writing part [of the Constitutional Convention]." she said. For the Convention, she added, "I wanted them to focus on the debate over the documents--the Federalist and Anti-Federalist documents." "My students were well prepared," Behuniak-Long Sfud. "They've been studying this since January. They got the high school students so involved." "It was great," Behuniak-Long said, adding, "The high school teachers said they were overwhelmed by the response of their students." She concluded, "I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the high school and the college students." In additon, said Gibson, "I can work with other college's Co-op Offices to have referral placements. It's kind of a networking system all across the country." Once in the program, students have to do a bi-weekly journal, attend two seminars during the semester, and complete an extensive project, such as a slide presentation or a paper. Last year, 108 students participated in the Co-op program, and Gibson said they made over $100,000. "It's a definite plus to anyone's education," concluded Gibson. eak riday, April 10, 'M.

And al a March 27 press erence in Washington, D.C., suicide prevention experts d news accounts of such ies may encourage others to ythemselves. 'The very things that make a story are the very things that cause a suicide: the lurid ·~." warned Dr. Herbert Pardes Columbia University. Whatever the reasons, the 'de rate is rising. In a ember, 1986 study, the Centers Disease Control (CDC) found in 1984 the suicide rate was deaths per 100,000 people 15 to 24. The numbers, however, also e the fact that the suicide rate '80 was 12.3 per 100,000 .,g people, meaning the !em has stayed nearly the same ghoul the decade. Yet there may be even more · 'des than the CDC indicates. "Coroners will say, 'I'll do ihing 1can do not to document a · ide,"' said Julie Perlman, utive director of the American iation of Suicidology. "They're trying to protect the ·1y," Perlman added. The recent set of statistics also ws that young men are five s as likely to commit suicide are young women, and collegeyoung men are twice as likely kill themselves as are boys aged to 19. Researchers believe that young are less able to deal with changing relations between the sexes and less likely to resolve emotions of grief and sorrow than are women. Leah Dickstein of the Louisville (KY) School of Medicine calls it the "White Knight Complex," in which young men are raised to deny their emotions and that they depend on others. Even today, many young men grow up expecting traditional malefemale relationships, Dickstein said, even though women are now more likely to break off a relationship. "In the past," Dickstein said, "women didn't leave men. They had no place to go, no education. Now, women have many options.'' "Dependency,'" she added, "is very much connected to suicide in men, since dependency is not acceptable in men. When a man feels he is dependent, he feels helpless and out of control." Dickstein cites a recent article in The Men's Journal, in which a male author said that · breakups bring heartbreak to women, but that men "suffer a breaking of the spirit.'' Another reason the campus suicide rate is rising is that students have i,a higher pressure quotient" than in the past, said John Hipple, Ph.D., of North Texas State University and the National Center for Health Statistics. "You leave your family--your support system--when you go away to college. You might feel alone. There are financial pressures. College costs are going up, and it's getting harder to get aid." Donald Kee~, director of the University of Idaho's Student Counseling Center, traces students' suicidal feelings to some kind of loss, be it money, a relationship, or even free time. Students also suffer symptoms of emotional and physical illness when certain lifestyle needs are frustrated, Indiana State University Prof. Emeritus Charles Nelson asserted in a recent study of campus suicide. Colleges themselves, most experts agree, can help. "The university is a major intervention in the lives of its students," Nelson wrote, adding that institutions should develop programs to help students cope with stress. Leighton Whitaker, the director of psychological services at Swarthmore College, recommends schools "care for" students, rather than show "normal disinterest." Faculty and staff, Whitaker said, can "erode the foundations of self-destructiveness" in depressed or angry students. Students are asking schools to help, too. At the University of Pennsylvania; student traffic at the counseling center is up 14 percent this year, a phenomenon staffer Vivian Boyd attributes to more social acceptance of c<;mnseling services. Another . Penn counselor attributes the increase to higher academic standards and advertising.

Diploma and Associate Degree .N.'s can now begin to earn the accalaureate Degree in Nursing at ilkes College by successfully hallenging just one exam, the osby Assessment Test, instead of hallenging the three eight-credit courses • previously required for admissions. According to Acting Chairperson Ann Marie Kolanowski, the new procedure was established to "further meet the needs of R.N.'s in Northeastern Pennsylvania." Kolanowski said, "There is a special need. The R.N. who wants to earn the baccalaureate degree usually has a full-time job and family responsibilities. Yet, so many are extremely well-qualified though professional experience for entrance into the program, that we decided to re-evaluate our requirements to meet their particular needs relating to time, expense, and location for testing." The results are that R.N.'s may now take the Mosby Assessment Test on the Wilkes College campus whenever it is convenient for the candidate. A Petition to Challenge fonn may be picked up from the Department of Nursing, 217-219 South Franklin Street. The completed fonn and a minimal fee will then be returned to the campus testing center, where a date for the challenge examination will be arranged. The purpose of the Mosby Test is to evaluate knowledge gained in the basic nursing program. The candidate must achieve a 55 percent or better grade to validate prior learning; and if the candidate has already taken the appropriate Mosby Test, the department will accept the score fo up to three years from the time the examination was given.

Newson named ACE Fellow Dr. Roosevelt Newson, assistant professor of Music, has been selected as an American Council on Education Fellow in the 1987-88 ACE Fellows Program. Newson's selection as a fellow was annourn:;ed recently in Washington, D.C., by ACE President Robert H. Atwell. Newson, who was nominated for this honor by President Christopher Breiseth, joins an elite group of educators chosen from around the country for ACE Fellowships. Each year, the program selects only thirty to thirtyfive fellows in a national competiti1.i11 to enter a program designed to strengthen leadership in American higher education by identifying and preparing faculty and staff for responsible positions in college and university administration. As a fellow, Newson will participate in three five-day seminars deaiing with higher education issues, read extensively in the field, produce an analytical report, and engage in other activities in preparation for administrative responsibilities. According to ACE officials, in the 22-year history of the program, 104 fellows have become chief executive officers, while more than 450 others have become vicepresidents, provosts, or deans. Newson has been a member of the Wilkes College faculty since 1982. A pianist critically acclaimed as "bursting with drive, direction, and impetuosity," he is known for both his musical and academic achievements. He is a native of Louisiana and a cum laude graduate of Southern University in Baton Rouge and attended the Peabody School of Music on a full graduate scholarship. In 1977, he completed his doctoral studies at Peabody, with the support of grants from the Ford Foundation. He is also a recipient of the F. Lammont Belin Arts Scholarship. He has played in concerts from coast to coast, including ten appearances as featured soloist with the Baltimore Summer Orchestra, and has presented solo recitals at the National Gallery of Art, Johns Hopkins University, and Town Hall, New York. In 1978, Newson was selected as the winner of the Belin Compeiition in Pennsylvania and the Triad Music Club Auditions in New York City. That same year, he completed a highly successful European tour, playing in Salzburg, Vienna, Brussels, and London. Newson's name will be listed with this year's ACE Fellowship winners in an upcoming issue of the ACE Bulletin, Higher Education and National Affairs. �PAGE SIX April 9, 1987 A different perspective .

You have never questioned my ability to succeed, even when I questioned it. You taught me to be honest, hard working, and to treat others as I would wish to be treated. It has paid off--1 am standing on the threshold of a new facet of my life. I am relieved. Finally, after six long years, I am graduating. I look forward to May 17 with a mixture of excitement, happiness, and sadness. You might ask, "why the sadness?" I would have to answer, "because you cannot be here to see me recieve my diploma." I will look into the crowd on May 17 and will not see your smiling faces as you proudly say, "that's our daughter." The tenacity to "hang in there" was developed in my early years by both of you. I can hear Mum now saying, "if you want to do something, then by golly do it right--the first time," and "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." You gave me love too! Now, at forty-eight, the star I reached for is almost within my grasp. I miss you both very much, and throughout the past year I have been trying to find a way to bring you both here to America for the graduation ceremonies. It is not to be. The sheer distance (11,000 miles) and your health prevent you from making the trip. However, I know that you will both be here in spirit, and I will accept my diploma for you. My life has changed tremendously over the last six years. Pain and happiness have been part of the change. Your concern for my welfare has been constant, always present in your letters and tapes. New Zealand is so far away, an almost insurmountable distance. Overshadowing the sadness of your absence on May 17 is great excitement. After almost twelve years I will, after all, be seeing both of you again. Since you are unable to be here, I will bring my graduation to you. Sandrfi will video tape the ceremony and later, after Todd has graduated from high school, I will be on my way down to see you. I have never been able to be there for you when you were sick or just needed to know you were loved and appreciated. Sure, I always wrote to you; however, physical contact is so much better. I wish that all my fellow graduates, and every person reading this letter, would on graduation day, or any day, tell your parents how much you love them. Thank them for all their love and support during your years of growing up. For those who are graduating, thank them for their support during the last four years that you have spent furthering your education. I end this letter with one last thought--miracles do happen. With all my love always, Your daughter, Ann Wilkes students stepped out this past rainy Friday to enjoy an evening of pseudosunshine and tropics at the annual April Fool's Dance, held at they gym. 1:he evening which was sponsored by the Commuter Council and the Inter- Residence Hall Council, featured a DJ, various contests, and a beach party atmoshpere (complete with leis) that added to the festivites of the evening.

The 'f• Residence oshpere wisher expresses ·his hope that the recipient of the greeting has a gratifying time on Easter Sunday; however, should the well-wisher perceive the object of his wish between the time of the wish and Easter, the wish is no longer valid. I don't think the author of this over-used greeting intended the syntax to be altered as to become conditional. He meant "in case that I don't see you," but that doesn't make this greeting-preceding clause any less cumbersome. The conditional "if' betrays a sense of paranoia in the greeter who clearly fears that either his wish is still premature or that (heaven forbid) he may open himself up to the risk of having to wish someone two "Happy Easters!"

You're sitting at your desk, trying as hard as you can to study for that huge bio test tomorrow. Instead of the comforting silence of peace and quiet, you are confronted with the loud, · pounding noise of someone else's radio, or the violent yelling of two roommates down the hall. Why can't everyone just be quiet? You turn on your radio, hoping to find some soothing music to put you in a studying mood. Instead, you find that it's heavy metal night on practically every radio station you turn to. As you twist the dial toward the left end of the radio, you suddenly hear a DJ announce, "Hello, I'm Andy; and welcome to Nightsounds." If you do hear this introduction, you have chanced upon one of the more refreshing shows on WCLH this semester. Nightsounds features the best in jazz, including fusion, New-age, and some traditional jazz. The DJ/ host of Nightsounds is Andy Morrell, a junior communications major from Kingston who lives on campus in Evans Hall. With pop music flooding the air waves, why would anyone decide to do a jazz show? Says Andy, "Jazz is definitely an alternative. It is peaceful music--just man and his instrument, as opposed to just noise. They [jazz artists] are excellent musicians." Andy prefers jazz music because it is "intricate and involved. Jazz harbors some of the although it cannot be categorized. " most talented musicians in the The label features music that creates a mental atmosphere. Some titles, world." ..;uch as Rain or Painoscapes, indiFor those of you not familiar with jazz, the three basic types of jazz music that Andy plays on his show are fusion, new age, and traditional jazz. Fusion is basically jazz-rock crossover music. Most likely, you have heard some of this music at one time or another. Traditional jazz music include the classic artists, the oldies but the goodies. This music is very improvisational. Perhaps the more complex type of jazz is New-age. New age music is "usually acoustic and instrumental. It is music that evokes atmospheric and emotional effects. The music is usually written about an environment instead of about a person or feeling," explains Andy. "You can even trace it back to classical music. At one point ' New-age was called nee-classical." In addition to being raised on jazz music, Andy cites his other reasons for his love of jazz,"Jazz is easily my favorite music in the cate this. Andy also plays a lot of world. It is very expressionistic fusion. He describes this music as, and probably one of the widest areas "highly energetic with excellent of music. There are a lot of rhythm sections(drums and bass) that provide a solid down beat. feelings and emotions in it." Some of the artists you are Andy stressed a major difference belikely to hear on Andy's Sunday tween the jazz that he plays on the night show include, Michael show and pop music. "Jazz is [listened to] for the music instead of Hedges, a steel string guitarist; Scott Cossu and Philip Aaberg, both pianists; Alex Di Grassi, a guitarist; or Shadowfax. "My ■ favorite label is Windham Hill," ■ says Andy. "It is a New-age label, was a neat medium," relates Andy. He got a chance to talk to a DJ and started right before Christmas break. Andy sees that WCLH will help him in his future aspirations. Andy says, "Radio is the field that I want to go into. WCLH spawned that interest." He wants to be involved in anything dealing with music. Andy is also plished drummer and see how far my dru me."

Finer Things Cereal serial Some thoughts on breakfast by Lee Morrell etc. PAGE NINE The alarm goes off at exactly 7:31 a.m. The best part of the morning is upon us. That's right, breakfast is ready. There are probably many of you out there who don't feel like a human being without having those slices of French toast, or two scrambled eggs, or a large stack of pancakes. Then, there are the true breakfast aficionados like me who just don't feel right without that bowl or two of sugar-coated empty lumps of puffed air and milk every morning. There . is no breakfast like the breakfast with more sugar in it than your average dessert. Recently, L began my independent research on sugar-coated . cereals. I started out slowly with Honey-Nut Cheerios. Really, considering the sugar content of this cereal, I really shouldn't count it but it does have some sugar, so I included it. As for their advertising, the Cheerios people were right, you can't sink those buggers. You really can't eat them, either. Well, maybe once in a while, like oatmeal, but they are far too civilized for me. Next came Lucky Charms. mercials claim to be "orangey Just looking at this cereal shows orange, lemony lemon, and new you that it is different. There are grapity grape."

By releasing the information early, the commission gave the press extra time to get the reactions of everyone involoved. No, this move is not a direct assault on the press' freedom of speech, but it certainly does have an effect on the way the news will be presented. According to Gregory, the Reagan Adminstration is one of the most inaccessible in the recent history of the presidency. Even the Nixon Adminstration, during the Watergate scandal, was more accessible. The problem of an inaccesible president also complicates the job of the reporter. If the press cannot reach the president, the press must get their information ·from another source.

The outcome of the game was as gloomy as the weather for the Breakers. The Hibernians took the A side contest 6-0 and went on to a 144 victory in B side competition. The start of the A side game was delayed about a half-hour because of a heavy downpour, but the delay didn't help the Breakers at all. When the opening kick was received by the Hibernians, it was raining hardt'J: than during the delay. Because of the driving rain the field was . in very poor condition. This made play extremely tough. ·Ball movement was difficult and any points put on the board would be very important. Halfway through the first period, the Hibernians brought the ball deep into W ilkes-Barre territory with some accurate and timely passing. Within minutes the Hibernians were about to score the game's only tri. A Hibernian back rumbled into the tri zone for the game's first points. The conversion was good. As the whistle blew to end the first half, the score stood at 6-0 in favor of the Hibernians In the ~nd half, the sun In B side action, the results . were j ust as gloomy for the Breakers. The Hibernians broke out to an early 8-0 first-half lead on some good scrum play. The Hibernians controlled the ball through the first half and the Breakers were held scoreless.

This was planned, ~ned Lampe-Groh, so that ent lounges and the widescreen room can be moved into the currently occupied by Health ices. --Testing Services, under Dr. ph Kanner, and the Cooperative cation Office, under Cheryl will also move to Hollenback "in an attempt to centralize some student services," said Lampe-Groh. The Co-op Office, now on the third floor of the Alumni House, will be converted for use in the annual Phonathon. --The Health Sciences Office, un~er Dr. Ralph Rozelle, will be located in Hollenback next year instead of the suite of rooms it now occupies in Evans Hall. That set of rooms in Evans will be converted into an apartment for an Assistant Director of Residence Life in order "to get an adult presence into that dorm," said Lampe-Groh. Another set of rooms in Pickering Hall will be converted to an apartment for a second Assistant Director of Residence Life. LampeGroh explained that because Sue Tomalis, cmTent Assistant Director of Residence Life, will leave Wilkes to attend Dickinson Law School, two new assistant directors will be hired. According to LampeGroh, tile College has already begun aC: vertising to fill these positions.

Many also wonder if the guards, many of whom are older, could be very effective in crisis situations. Currently, the Security Office in Stark Lobby is manned from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 24 hours a day on weekends, beginning Friday at 9 p.m . Eight to ten guards make up the security force. A guard is on duty in Pickering Hall from midnight to 6 a.m. every night; guards are also stationed in Miner Hall and Evans Hall from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. each night. These are, according to security guard Tom Donahue, the only buildings with guards stationed in them. "Two auxiliary guards outside are supposed to check all the buildings, make sure things are locked, and if they're not, they call me [at the Security Office] and I send maintenance to lock them up," Donahue said. He explained that the two guards cover two "zones"-from McClintock to Kirby Hall and from Kirby to Barre Hall. He added that the purpose of having guards patrol the campus is mainly "psychological--to have a presence out there." "There's always somebody manning a phone," Donahue noted, explaining that Security can be reached either at the Office, ext. 399, or at the desk in Pickering, ext. 473. The ability of Security to Target date for the move is June 25, according to Lampe-Groh. Student Center hours should not be changed, according to LampeGroh, and student leaders will still be able to get into their offices when the Student. Center is closed. Only one student office will be affected by the move--the Accounting and Business Club Office, which will move to the First Aid Squad Room . The widescreen TV room and the student lounges will be moved to the rear of the second floor. New furniture was purchased for the lounges earlier this year, andLampeGroh said she also wanted to get curtains and pictures for the walls. Lampe-Groh thinks several "plusses" will result from the move of the Student Affairs Office to the Student Center. "We'll have closer physical proximity to student offices," she said. "I personally would hope that students would continue to use Weckesser for meetings because I feel it's important for them to be in that building." The layout of the rooms in the Continued on p. 3 by Elizabeth Mazzullo A group of students were involved in an incident with the police last week for drinking on the River Commons and for having a keg of beer "hidden" on the opposite side of the dike, according to Dean of Student Affairs Jane Lampe-Groh. Lampe-Groh said she didn't know who was responsible for the incident. "Somebody decided that the way to cool off was to get beer," she said. Lampe-Groh explained what happened last Tuesday. - She said that the policeman who came on duty at 3 p.m. drove down River Street and saw a line of cars parked outside Sterling Hall and a group of students with cups in their hands standing on the Commons. A patrolman was then sent to Kirby Park; he could "clearly" see the keg from there, she said. The police next sent a patrol car along the dirt road behind the dike. Lampe-Groh noted, "It is my belief that the Wilkes-Barre City Police had an undercover agent who was at the gathering for the better part of an hour." Lampe-Groh said she received a phone call from the College at approximately 6 p.m. last Tuesday to the effect that four cars were parked on the sidewalk outside Sterling and that "kids were drinking beer" on the Commons.

There are papers to be written .... and papers to be graded. Last month's project needs to be finished before it reappears as an incomplete on the grade report. It seems that we are sometimes so busy with other matters that we don't have time to think. For the graduating seniors the end of the year crunch will mark the end of our career as undergraduate college students. It's important, however for us to find some time before, during, or after finals to reflect on our years here at Wilkes. · The College has undergone a number of changes in the past year or two--some positive, some negative. The Black Students Coalition was formed on campus to act as a support group for black students. A peer counseling group has been established so that students can talk to students about problems. Physically, the Stark Lobby received a face lift creating a bright new congregation area for students. The Programming Board greatly increased the number of activities available on campus. All of these changes either affect students or are brought about by students. · Seniors can ,now enjoy.the perspective of being at the end of the road and looking back at all we've accomplished and all we've done. The most outstanding memories for us will undoubtedly be the time spent outside of the classroom-the extra time making posters for the comedy show, organizing the club trip to New York, serving on a student/faculty committee responsible for making decisions, or writing that weekly editorial. These are the memories that college is made of. . The activities in which students are involved become a part of the college as well as part of the individual student. Next year, or the year after, or whenever those who graduate return to Wilkes the connection between the the student and the College will still be here. Even if Stark Lobby becomes classrooms, the memory of the coffeehouse you helped organize will still be there. · We seniors who are at the end of our college career cannot bring back lost time. But next year's graduates and the graduates of the future can begin to make the memories now by getting involved in campus activities and shaping the direction of the College before commencement day. -m;ui 1!Lltacon VOL.

Now near the end of my third year as presided, sense the growing strength of the College in almost every area. The new administrative organization has given sharper focus to our curriculum, including the ex · discussions over a revised core curriculum. Faculty are working together ever more effectively to prepare these changes even as they are committing themselves individually to professional development acti · linked to the curricular needs of Wilkes. This collaboration is taking place within departments and be departments and schools. The interdisciplinary perspectives we have been working to foster in our slll are being demonstrated among the faculty. Recent statewide appointments suggest the growing recognition of Wilkes' educational leadership colleagues elsewhere in the Commonwealth. Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of the School of Engineering Physical Sciences, has been elected President of the Association of Engineering Colleges of Pennsyl while Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy, Dean of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, has been elected of the Pennsylvania Association of Graduate Schools. I have been named to a state task force to strengthen the preparation of teachers and the profession of teaching itself in Pennsylvania in light of recent Carnegie Commission report on teaching. A national conference on teaching was held at Wilkes this month bringing school and college representatives together to discuss the Carnegie report. Frtd Hechinger, education specialist on the New York Times. member of the Carnegie Commission and rec· of an honorary doctorate from Wilkes, gave a forceful keynote address. Our new friends from throughom country were impressed by the talent, dedication, and innovative programs for teachers they saw at w· They were also admiring of the beauty of the campus and of Wilkes-Barre. · While enrollment figures for the fall will not be complete until late August, the early indications positive. We appear to be bringing in a large and talented freshman class. The competition to enter w· among strong students has increased in just one year. The efforts of the Admissions staff, led by Vinovrski and aide4 by the faculty support and enthusiasm indicated above, have contributed to this optirn· · picture. . Along with improvements in almost every athletic team's perfonnance and the continuing w· ways of our debate team, student efforts are also shining through. The musical and drama performances to get better and better. · The quality and character of The Beacon itself has added to the positive IOllC campus which has encouraged serious discussion of difficult issues. No indicator of improvement stnd more forcefully than the initiation of 80 students into the national Physics Honor Society this past week. believe this is a sign of renewal of disciplined intellectual development not only among Wilkes students, · among students in general as the demands of a much more competitive world begin to be understood. We are preparing for more physical changes on the campus to better utilize our buildings to im students life. Not all the plans are complete, but we hope to make ~ moves this summer that will · students and faculty ·together more effectively. There may be surprises greeting returning students next which I think will add to the sense of improvement on our campus. I am optimistic about the energies leadership coming from Student Affairs staff under Dean Lampe-Groh as this will affect the quality of life on campus. · A little-noted but significant change began this past year in the area of increased responsibility. While some of the irresponsible behavior, primarily associated with alcohol abuse, con· · there has been growing evidence of positive initiatives by students themselves to create social opportu · not dependent on alcohol and drugs. The programming of weekend cultural and recreational activities loci quantum jump over the last year. As revealing to me, those students who were brought before disciplinary boards for infraction of the rules accepted the judgement and punishments from their peers ways that indicated understanding of the need for this campus community--as for the society at large-·IO laws which must be enforced for the safety and health of all. Finally, I have been impressed over the past several weeks when meeting seniors in various · to discover the successes they are having in gaining entrance to graduate and professional schools and tog entry-level jobs in their fields of preparation. As we join in your Commencement on May 17, I hope sen· will be thinking not only about your professional futures but about your citizenship and your contin personal growth. You will have the opportunity at Commencement to hear an historian, Dr. John Franklin, and a poet, Dr. Samuel Hazo, both of whom will receive honorary doctorates of humane I Dr. Hazo has given stirring poetry readings at Wilkes and in our region over the past several years, using power of poetry to help us better understand our contemporary lives. Dr. Franklin, one of the nation's distinguished historians, will speak about the bicentennial of the Constitution. From his career as the I scholar of the Black experience in America and as an intellectual architect of the monumental Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education decision of the Supreme Court in 1954 calling for desegrated schools, he challenge us all to act upon our knowledge and our values as citizens to preserve and strengthen this governing nation. _ Good luck to all of us as we approach important new opportunities and responsibilities starting summer. .

In the hopes of pointing out some of the more obvious policies and behaviors that threa~en to darken the name of my beloved alma mater forever? Hell, no. I do it because The Beacon pays me to write a column for them each week. Y eall, that's right. I do it for the money. Y'see, I told you I've got a couple of graduate degrees and that I live and work in New York City. I forgot to mention that I'm a cocktail waitress in a dive bar in Greenwich Village. Yep, that's me. An intellectually fulfilled waitress. And the money's not that good, no matter what they tell you. So when I heard that I could make some beer money by writing a special column for The Beacon, I figured, "What the hell, I need the bucks!" Why am I only a waitress after all those years of school? Well, there just aren't that many jobs in higher education. Especially when your area of special study is Old Norse Literature. Face it, you're not going to get that many job offers short of a McDonald's, 'cause most of the universities that actually offer courses in Old Norse have faculty members teaching those courses who look like they .inst got off the boat--the Vikings' boats, that is--and they show no signs of going off to join their forefathers yet Waitressing looks ~e a good thing after a few years' worth of unemployment, let me tell you! But enough about my sorry economic state. I'm sure what you · really want to know about me is what I'm really like as a person. During the Sixties, when I went to Wilkes, I used t0 be a hippie. Long hair, beads, tie-dyed jeans, aTtd all. Used to walk around scribbling the wor~ to Bob Dylan songs on walls. H~y •.J a Bob was SENIOR ,_NURSING .

Never missed a single one of his concerts that -I could drive, walk, or hitchhike to. I ended up majoring in English 'cause I wanted to be a poet like Dylan; I thought it'd be a neat sort of thing to do with my life. 'Course, I ended up going to grad school because I really couldn't decide what else to do after graduation. How, after all, does one go about being a professional poet? {Although I really was a hippie, I'd been raised in an uppermiddle class family. The Protestant work ethic is a hard thing. to rid yourself of, especially when your father tells you he'll pay for you to go to school for a few more years! Besides, in case you hadn't already guessed, I'm something of an opportunist) Managed to spend most of the next ten years in graduate school, doing one thing or another. I even spent a couple of months working as director of a residence hall (what a trip); taught freshman English for a while; wrote for a few newspapers (mostly obituaries). So you see, I know quite a bit about what goes on at college campuses. Wilkes is no different from most of them, either. What am I like today? First of all, I'm not a hippie anymore. If I could make enough money to buy a Volvo, I'd become a Yuppie. As it is, I'm a waitress/sometime poet/ Beacon columnist with a used Toyota and high aspirations. As far as my attitude goes, I've gotten a lot more cynical over the years. Used to be an idealist. I wrote a column a lot like this one when I was a senior at Wilkes, and I really believed at that time that by trying to point out what I thought was wrong about the way things ? • were run at the College that it'd make some difference. But my attitude's changed over the years. Face it, when the time comes that David Crosby makes the cover of People magazine with an expose of his drug addiction, it's . time for all of us old idealists-hippies · or not--to give up our beliefs for the price of a six-pack. So I've tried in this column to recreate some of what I felt back when I was at Wilkes. Maybe not for the right reasons, but hey, us aging Huppies {latter-day hippies who want to be yuppies) have to eat too, don't we? I wish I could write more, but I have to -g o to work--the regulars down at Sam's Bar & Grill are waiting for me.... If you're ever in New York, won't you come see me? Just ask for Q.

Lampe-Groh told the police she would handle the incident and made the decision not to give the students' names to the palice. Lampe-Groh stressed that drinking alcoholic beverages on city property is illegal, and pointed out that this is stated in the Student Handbook. "It becomes critical · that students are aware of what's in the Handbook and that the College and obviously the city officials fully expect students to live by their regulations," Lampe-Groh concluded.

Allen has been named Assistant Dean of Students at Wilkes College, announced President Christopher Breiseth. Allen, in addition to serving as Assistant Dean, will also retain his fonner duties as Director of Residence Life at Wilkes. He will work out of the Student Affairs Office, which will be located in the Student Center next year, but will still remain in daily contact with the Residence Life Office. At the present time, Allen said he doesn't have any plans for his new position. "I have a very general idea of my responsibilities," D he said. "I'm still very much involved in my current position." A graduate of the State University of New York at Oneonta, Allen has extensive experience in both student governance and student counseling. At Oneonta, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in both Business Economics and American History. He then earned the Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in College Counseling. His practicum was in Residence Life and Career Planning and Placement. Allen served as Assistant Dean of Students and Residence Life at SUNY-Oneonta from 1980 until his appointment at Wilkes as Director of Residence Life in 1986. In addition to his student life governance and counseling background, alien has also worked extensively in career planning and placement, programming, orientation, and financial aid. Breiseth said, "Wilkes is fortunate in having Mark as a member of the Student Affairs Office. His experience and expertise will serve our students well." Two speakers named by Elizabeth Mazzullo nd in a crisis has been tioned since the incident lving Graves occurred. Beth Finn, resident assistant in e~s Hall, where the incident took e, said that she called Security they said they would respond ediately." Donahue, who was on duty in that night, explained what pened. "I called the zone guard told him to go over. He was the other end of the zone, and sergeant was coming over to ·eve me because I was going off ty," he said, adding that instead of ·eving him, the sergeant went to eiss. Donahue explained that he also led Maintenance (because their ice is behind Weiss), and that ·ntenance got to the scene just the police arrived. He added that he went over to Weiss also, but noted, "By the time we got there, the cops were there. We handled it the best we could." Donahue explained the reason for the delay, saying that the person who called dialed ext. 473 instead of ext. 399. The guard in ,Pickering then had to call the Security Office in SLC, and, said Donahue, "I was making rounds in Stark." Beth Finn criticized the length of time it took Security to come to the scene. She said she called the police directly after she called Security, but that both arrived at the same time. "It surprised me," she said, "and it disgusted me." "I think we should get the old guys out of here," Finn added. "I've heard that over and over again." She believes that what's been happening this semester "should be telling the school something" about the effectiveness of the security force. Two noted scholars, John Hope Franklin and Samuel Hazo, will speak at Wilkes' Commencement. Commencement ceremonies will be held May 17 at Ralston Field. The Commencement speaker will be Franklin, who will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Franklin, a leading historian and scholar, is the James P. Duke Professor Emeritus of History at Duke University. Franklin also taught at several other institutions, including Fisk University, Brooklyn College, and the University of Chicago. Franklin was also a member of the research team whose work led to the landmark Supreme Court decision (Brown vs. the Board ·of Education) which outlawed school segregation. His works include Racial Equality in America and Reconstruction After the Civil War. Hazo will also receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters and will offer remarks in response. Hazo, a poet and scholar, is a professor of English at Duquesne University, director of the International Poetry Forum, and editor of Byblos Editions for the International Poetry Forum. §JE~II([})~ WJEJEJK JEVJEN1f§ DINNER DANCE May 12 The Woodlands 6 p.m CLASS PICNIC May 14 Dr. Farley's Farm, Beaumont 12-4 p.m. REHEARSAL & OFFICIAL CLASS MEETING May 15 CPA COMMENCEMENT May 17 Ralston Field (arrive at 9:30 a.m.) CO~OP INTERNSHIPS DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING CO-OP INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS FOR THE SUMMER IS MAY 15.

The featured DJs are Don Semyon and Ed Buonocore. Don, a senior marketing major from Avoca, PA, and Ed, a sophomore communications major from Somerville, NJ, are the members of the famous, or infamous, Don and Ed Show which airs Saturday from 4-7 p.m. on WCLH, 90.7. That's right, the men who brought you the "Eat Your Favorite Record" contest, a myriad of interesting slide shows, and scintillating guests, now open themselves up to the questions that everyone has been asking. The Beacon: We'll just start out with some basic questions: When did you stan at WCLH? Don: I started there when I was a freshman. Ed: I started just this semester-I'm a sophomore. Don: Yeah, I took him under my wing (laughter from Ed.) The Beacon: What first got you interested in the station? Don: Well, I walked in and thought it was the cafeteria. Next thing I knew, I was on the air. In these days of computerization, I thought it was a fast food chain or something (more laughter from Ed). Ed: It always seemed interesting. I sat in on a cpuple of my friend's shows and thought it looked like experience the theater. Ed: Yeah, thanks to Don we had the best seats in the city. Don: We saw the best shows in town. Ed: For 25 cents you can't beat it. Don: For 25 cents you get your own private booth, and you can do anything you want. The Beacon: Who are you personal favorites in music? Don: The Heat Miser and Snow Miser. Ed: And everybody's favorite feline, Scruffy the Cat. Don: We like to play music that is commercially accessible, but that big radio stations won't play because they haven't heard of them. The Beacon: Some examples? Ed: Big Dish, Scruffy the Cat, The Cutting Edge, The Smithereens. We played the Cutting Edge long before any other station did. Now, three months later, they're in the Top 40. Don: They pick their Number One hits by listening to our show. The Beacon: What about the heat miser and the snow miser? Who sings what? Don: I sing. Eddie's the human beat box, and I'm the human lunch box. Ed: There was a pretaped weather thing, but it didn't fit in with our show. When the weather's good, you get the heat miser, when the weather's bad you get the snow miser. Don: Yeah, you don't even have •1 wanna show p ing," she expla admire her pi desire.

Ed: Our object is just to make people happy Don: We'd like to do it for a living, for money. The Beacon: Will WCLH help you with these plans? Don: Yes, because I won . ten dollars for selling the most subs [during WCLH's annual sub sale]. Ed and I got pizza and we nourished ourselves. following Don: Yeah, during the last show we had lots of visitors. There were girls screaming and banging on the doors. We finally had to let them out (laughter). Ed: We get a lot of calls from other schools--King's, Misericordia, Scranton. We love to get requests. Don: If his mother would stop calling maybe some other people could get a chance. You know, we had to hire a girl? Not to take requests, but we had to hire her anyway. fu~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ed: Girls call us up and want to meet us. I think it's funny.

Kelly, who was the reason Nina quit high school, was unmannerly and academically repressed. Her grandmother was always calling me with· questions about her homework. One day she asked me what a dictionary did. But the other day I was amazed when I went over to their house to ask Nina for a ride to the garage to pick up my wreck which was being serviced. Kelly sat at a desk with a dictionary, calculator, and a growing set of Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedias from IGA. I spoke with her for the first time in a few years. She spoke articulately and logically. She had brought the academic world into that house and seemed to be single-handedly buoying herself above the ignorance of her elders, ~ho were learning some basics from this ten-year-old. Kelly was humble too; her grandmother was bragging a bit about the things Kelly knew.

Coming to the end of a semester can seem to be pure joy, especially after having a class in physiology that you barely squeaked through, or a term paper that you forced yourself to write against all your better judgment because, if the truth were known, you truly hated Wordsworth. But at the end of the Spring semester, the reality strikes home Given by: for many of us: "This is it.

Senior Flute Recital Knowing this, we all tempt ourselves into believing that this condition of separation will only be temporary. We say "so-long, I'll see you around." We habitually convince ourselves that there will be a tomorrow and that everything will pick up right where it left off. Sometimes, this just doesn't happen. With the Spring semester drawing to a close, many of us will be h~ading out into life, moving to New York or California, or just getting on with the business of not going to college. If that's the case, it's probably best to realize it, get a good grip on it, and take the time to say "Farewell" to the people we've come to consider part of our everyday lives. No matter how attractive it may seem to never again have to take a computer class or have to do research in the library trying to meet a deadline, or all the other inconsequential oddities that seemed such a heavy burden while they were happening, looking back on one's college years is generally a fond remembering. Over the years it will seem that most of it was fun, some of it was educational, and all of it is going to exist forever in that little glass jar. Some of us will meet, quite by accident over the years; you run into each other in a shopping mall, or over a business lunch, and you recall "Oh, remember that horrible lecture on 'Sexually Transmitted Diseases'?" But mostly, you remember the good times, a sort of long vision of recall that · includes the sun shining on the lawn behind Kirby Hall, or sitting in the lounge with absolutely no classes that afternoon and six or seven friends to share a good laugh with. The kindest thing about human memory is that it seems to filter out the long boring moments and highlight only the good ones. I know. I'm forty years old and when I recall whole chunks of my life, scenes out of a movie from the many different experiences I've had, I'd be hardpressed to say that any of it, regardless of how it seemed while I was living through it, was bad. The filter process in my brain has done a good job of leaving only the better memories intact. One of those memories will always be Wilkes. Whoever you are and wherever you may be going, I'd just like to take this moment to say hello, thanks for being there, thanks for all your wonderful smiles that I will always remember. Thank you and farewell. I �. PAGEEIGHf _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Apri130, 1987 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ owt~ere's more anone~ to.- t t-~ ~- co e.

These are all wonderful things to learn; I know they will all come in handy someday. (Probably when I have a family of my own.) But, when I really need to know why Almayer's dreams failed him time and again or the angle of elevation from a church steeple to a tree 100 feet away from the front entrance to the church, I'll let you know!! But, for now, I'd like to tell you what college teaches us about independence and freedom, and how it prepares us to grow up and cut free from our parents. Guess what? Sit down now, you won't believe what I am about to tell you. It doesn't teach you these things. Of course it doesn't. How can it? Instead of parents, you have roommates! Look at how much they have in common. Roomies and parents both nag, "Clean your room, it's a pig'- sty; " . You find yourself (very often) arguing with them over trivial issues, such as whose turn it is to wash the dishes, vacuum, take out the garbage, do the laundry, etc. Parents and roommates are very critical o·f you, "Are you really going out in public like that?" or "Don't you think you should get a haircut?" They tend to be picky too; "You know, I don't mind when you get the bathroom floor wet when you take a shower, but don't you think two feet of water is a bit much?" But, all negative things aside, rommies and parents are very important people. Who else would get up hours earlier than they have to, just to eat breakfast with you, just so you won't be lonely? Who else cares enough about you to wake you up for an important meeting at 8:00 a.m. , even when they know you could really use the sleep? "Sharon, don't you have a chem fi nal that started, oh, 15 minutes ago?" Parents and roommates are important in teaching you about life, love, relationships, and friendship. They are your bitterest enemies and your sweetest friends. {They have to be to put up with you for so long!) They'll always be there to share your victories: "I survived my first 'all-nighter'!" (no matter how large or small), and they'll help you over the rough spots too: "I got a 3.0 on that big test." They are so caring that they'll even sacrifice a night's sleep for you: "Where were you? Do you know what time it is? I worried about you!" Parents and roomies are ready to love you, unconditionally, because after all, "I never asked to room with you!" These people are taken for granted, abused, stepped on, tossed aside, and most importantly, loved to no end by us. They're our best friends for life. When your world is falling apart, your parents and your roommate will always be there for you just when you need them the most. When ~t comes to the most important and influential people in your entire life, j ust remember this old saying, "No aardvarks need apply." ·Debate Union comes out on top The Wilkes College Speech/ Brian (that's right, B-R-I-A-N) Nightmare.

In fact it should be very familiar to any fan of the Wilkes College sports scene. Andre is a senior from Brentwood High School in North Bayshore, New Jersey. He has been selected as The Beacon Male Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year. At this point, it would seem repetitive simply to list his many achievements. You have probably heard them all before: most dual meet wins in a season, 49 match dual meet winning streak, all-time wiimingest wrestler at Wilkes, only two time EIW A champion in the history of Wilkes, two-time Male Athlete of the Year, Division I AllAmerican. Suffice to sa that Andre practice. But such is the price perfection. Many successful athletes make the mistake placing · their athletic endt.a ahead of their academic The result is that at the end of years they have a shelf full trophies and a scrapbook full clippings, but no future. Our Male Athlete of the is graduating near the top of class. He has been a regular CII Dean's List each year. For him, only have the many houn wrestling practice paid off, bta have the many hours of s After graduation, he is pl3lllllll attend law school. We have no doubt that will continue his winning wa}'I, whatever arena he chOO!ta compete. Congratulations, Andre. Margo Serafini amed FemaleAthlet of the year by Jim Pyrah Margo Serafini Miller is no doubt, one of the finest wrestlers ever to perform for Wilkes College and, perhaps, one of the greatest athletes ever to bring their talents to this school. · Now, you may think that this is j ust an exaggeration to hype our Male Athlete of the Year. If you do, you have simply never seen Andre wrestle. Andre exudes a kind of quie t confidence every time he takes to the mat. The excitement is contagious and quickly spreads through the crowd. Andre is what many of us hope to be and what most of us will never achieve. He is a winner, a champion. This is not a gift, though. It is not inherited. Every dual meet win, every tournament victory, every honor, tribute, and award has been bought and paid for with countless hours of pain and It isn't easy being a letterwinner in two varsity sports. J ust ask M argo Serafini, our 198687 Female Athlete of the Year. Margo has been a stellar performer on both the field hockey team and the softball team since her freshman year. It was as a goalie for the women's field hockey team this year that Margo really excelled. If statistics tell the story then just listen to the ones that Margo racked up this season. · She was the second leading goalie, out of 22, in the MAC this past season. In 11 conference games she had 180 saves and allowed only 14 goals for a save percen4tge of .958. The best in the league was .967. Overall, Margo had 262 saves in 16 games l\Ild allowed just 25 goals. She posted a total of 5 shutouts and had a season high 36 saves in one game. After playing shortstop last season for the Lady Colonel softball team, Margo has returned to her natural position of catcher. Her bat has been one of the main offensive weapons for the Lady Colonels this year. She has been the leading slugger on the team to this point in the year. She went 2 for 4 with a single and a home run to power Wilkes to a 5-1 victory over Delaware Valley. Our Female Athlete of the Year also contributed a couple of RBI's in a 10-0 whitewash of crosstown rival King's College. It is often very difficult compete in just one college but to compete and be successful two sports takes a special and a special effort The sac.ifice and dedication paid off for Margo though, as has become the top female a at Wilkes College this year. The best part about this competitor is that she is only junior. She will be back next to provide even more action excitement to the Wilkes Coll sports fans. Margo Serafini has set standard for herself, both on and the field, that ensures contin success. Congratulations, Margo. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"I am looking forward to being part of Wilkes," he said, adding that he was "positively impressed" with the College at the time of his interview. He added, ''I'm interested in the concept of the institution." Waldner said that he's preparing for his new position by "doing a lot of reading about Wilkes." He explained that President Christopher Bresiseth and Robert Beaman, acting vice president for academic affairs, have been sending him material on Wilkes, induding the mission statement. Prc~ident Christopher Breiseth E, p . -·----------· said that of the four candidates interviewed from over 100 applicants, Waldner was the "most articulate" and "fit our current situation best." This current situation, Breiseth explained, involves Wilkes' continuing efforts to reform both the core curriculum and the governance system.

One of his reasons for relocating, Waldner said, was the College's location. "I love it here," said Waldner, who was lx>m in Philadelphia. "I feel more at home here." ut with the old • the new Ill with sure that at one time or while walking down South Street, the average Wilkes student has caught a this institution's maj.um.

Well, as· of 1, 1988, Wilkes College will be able to witness lion of the brand new aid Conference Center and to the "old gym." concept of a new Sports crence Center has been at WiU<es for a conamount of time, and the the building is certainly Says Paul O'Hop, Vice of Business Affairs and Enterprises,"It has been tat the gymnasium is not comparable to a good high gym, let alone comparable of this size." or With the need for a gym well established, the next step was to procure the Board of Trustees' approval. On July 22 of this year; the Board unanimously voted in favor of the construction of the new . Center. And now, with the problems of zoning and planning out of the way, "the plans are moving along smoothly. Ground breaking is scheduled for January 1, with the expected completion date tentatively scheduled for December 24, 1988." Since the construction of the center is a major step forward for the reputation of the college, the building did not only have to be functional, but modem and state-ofthe-art as well. The gym has to not only meet the needs of present Wilkes students but must meet the needs of future students as well. The center will have three floors, replacing the "old gym's" single level. Ideally, the Center will not merely be a place to go to see basketball games or to put in your four semesters of phys ed, but a place where recreation for pleasure, as much as for obligation, is vital. The lower level will consist of practice rooms and will be mainly for physical education purposes. The rooms may also be used for dances and social functions . The first floor will be the conference center, offices, and the gymnasium. The second floor will also house conference ~nd seminar facilities. This will enable Wilkes College to "put its best foot forward to the public," and make the gymnasium not just part of the college, but part of the community as well. With the revitalization of the building O'Hop stressed that there would be other changes as well. "The phys ed program ·will be · completely revitalized with the construction of the Center, and it will also provide students with the best possible facili'lies and environment." Because the old gym will have to be demolished in order to make way for construction, alternate facilities must be found to accomodate the needs of the college for the year that the construction is underway. O'Hop says no definite arrangements have been made, but the college is negotiating with a number of facilities. Dr. George Waldner will arrive in October to fill the position of Vice President of Academic Affairs. �September 10, 1987 PAGE TWO r----------------------·,_.----1The Editorial \ \ i~ A wareness--Can it happen here? Apathy seems always to be the first word out of everyone's mouth when students return to campus. Students are apathetic; they don't want to particpate; they don't want to get involved. Even the faculty gets accused of being apathetic. It seems to me, however, that the true problem with involvement on campus, even the problem of simple respect and concern about the campus environment comes down to one thing--awareness. The problem that seems to be plaguing the college, not to mention the world at large, is the simple ignorance of the people in the environment. Many people will take offense at this statement. Ignorance implies stupidity, and stupidity is one thing that should not even be hinted at in any institutution of higher learning. Still, the problem cannot be ign·ored. The plague of ignorance has even reached into the highest and most important office in the land--the President of the United States. When the man in charge of the destinies of millions of Americans can face his public and claim ignorance of vital issues, as Ronald Reagan did this entertaining summer with the the antics of the Iran Contra hearings, how can Wilkes College be immune to it? When innocent victims of a lifethreaening disease can have their home burned to the ground by their neighbors, supposedly informed adults, as a young family in Florida did, how can Wilkes College be safe from this kind of behavior? Although Wilkes' problem is certainly not as serious as the President's or as heinous as th~ AIDS incident, the impact of ignorance on the campus is still great. The old cliche states, "ignorance is bliss," and yes, in many cases this is true. When students are unaware of the appointment of a new vice-president, when students are unaware of reasons for trees being taken down on campus, they do not have to deal with their consciences or give themselves another thing to think about on top of their classes and their already busy social life. They can take their ignorance and their lack of awareness and tum it into something that is seen I I I . '.\ .Ii I ~ . ~ Do you want to all too often around this campus, acts of vandalism and destruction or just general disrespect. Improvements have been made on the campus over the summer and these changes are to be commended. They are important in their own right. But changing the outside of the campus does not change the attitude of the students on the campus. · The most important thing you as a student can do with your time at Wilkes is to make yourself aware--of national, state, and local issues. Wilkes College is not a separate entity and what goes on in the world affects us very directly. Even more importantly, don't just put your time in at Wilkes, be aware of things around here. Open your eyes to everything--if you see someone cutting down a tree ask yourself "why?" and make it a point to find something out about it. If you see someone committing an act of vandalism, do something--stop him or tum him in. Make it a point to learn about the changes that are occurring daily here at Wilkes College. Believe it or not, what goes on here will · affect your future. Join a dub, become part of an organization; that is perhaps the easiest way to become aware. Once you have achieved awareness of your surroundings, apathy is no longer an issue. Once · you take the time and initiative to become aware, participation and respect will follow, and will hardly feel like an effort at all. There are many sources of information on ..campus which students can utilize to become aware--the Daily Bulletin, WCLH, the closed circuit televisions in SLC. And, obviously, The Beacon is another medium through which students can become better informed about campus issues. Yet The Beacon has often been criticized by students as being hypercritical. "Why doesn't the Beacon ever have anything nice to say?" is a complaint we hear regularly. The people who ask these questions may have a vaild point. Perhaps The Beacon is hypercrtical. · But perhaps this criticism is what it takes to snap people out of their "blissful" ignorance.

W and I f, rcations tJ �September 10, 1987 start of a new year What you can do Convocation Breiseth stressed the importance of gaining control over oneself over the course of life despite difficulties. He said that in spite of the fact that many people will try to influence you, it is you, ultimately, who must make your own decisions. Breiseth said that each student will "chart a unique path through Wilkes." This means that students have a chance to widen and broaden their knowledge by manipulating and testing what they learn in class. . Brciseth speaks to the fres hman class at the Convocation.

According to Allen, Major will be in charge of supervising staff, residence assistants , and other suppport staff. She will have total administration of halls in her area, will advise IRHC (Inter-Resident Hall Council) and will help with crisis counseling. The other assistant director will have similar responibilities, however this person will live in Pickering Hall. Allen is seeking to fill this position. Both will serve as immediate supervisors to the 33 support R.A.s. Allen said he hopes the added adult presence will be a positive contribution to the halls. PAGE THKEE Breiseth said that by part1c1pation in activities and by experiences on campus, a student is developing skills which can be usefol in life. However, this year, the "traditionals" (band, ceremonious clothing and mass audience) of Convocation were combined with the "traditionals" of Commencement to form a unique ceremony. President Christopher Breiseth wished the best of luck to the August 1987 graduates and also welcomed the class of 1991. Robert Heaman, acting vice president of academic affairs, welcomed the incoming class. He · also wished them the best of luck in the upcoming year. for world hunger by Lorri Steinbacher Anyone concerned about the qual ity of life in this world cannot help but be concerned about the problem of world hunger. As Wilkes College is part of this world, it too should be a part of the continuing fight against hunger. Last semster, Wilkes made its contribution to local hunger by having a canned food drive. Although the drive was successful, Tony Vento, Campus Minister, feels that concern should go beyond people's pantries. In keeping with this idea, Vento in conjunction with Dr. Michael Garr and Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long are organizing a college-wide task force against hunger. Ideally, the task force would involve students, administration, faculty, and staff. The force would help people to learn about the hunger problem, and give people a chance to act on their feelings. "Acting," says Vento,"brings people deeper into caring." the force will sponsor a Hunger Campaign that would run from the end of September until November. Many people have used the word apathy in relation to Wilkes students buit Vento disagrees. "I refuse to buy that college students don't care, but it's not just enough to care; you have to act on that caring." Vento feels that many times students may care but see no point in doing so, because they feel helpless. "When you make yourself vulnerable by caring, it can lead you to depression, and who wants to be depressed? Once depression sets in, you can lose sight of what you cared about in the first place. If you have an outlet, this can be avoided." The task force intends to provide that outlet to students who care but who don't know how to tum that caring into something effective and wm:thwhile. At the very least the task force will give students and faculty a "safe" place for support and a forum for their concerns. "We're not just working on . CQntinued on p.10 For a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness · by Lorri Steinbacher The Board of Trustees while deciding the {ate of the Sports and Conference Center were also deciding the fate of another proposed campus structure, the bell tower and carillion. I know that the majority of you may be asking, "A bell tower? What is it and why is it going up?" Paul O'Hop, Vice President of Development and Auxiliary Affairs explains that "there is a lack of a meeting place on eampus. The bell tower would represent a common meeting ground for all Wilkes students." The new bell tower will be located on a plot of land between the Farley Library, and Kirby, Chase, and Church Halls, essentially right in the center of campus. The tower, a 62 foot high structure, would house a caroling bell that could be sequenced to chime at any interval the college chose. The structure will also have clocks on two sides, facing north and south. There are also plans, although nothing definite, to move the bookstore and mailroom to Church Hall, • further consolidating the center of the campus. The proposed completion date for the project started out as 1987 Homecoming in late October. "However," says O'Hop,"Although it is possible that it will be done in October, it is highly unlikely. It will, though, still be a focal point for Homecoming whether it is completely finished or not" It seems only proper that the tower be the focus of Homecoming fcstivites considering its origin. The tower is being built to honor alumni in general and to honor Dr. Charles Bums, Class of '35, in particular. Dr. Bums was a graduate of the fust class of Wilkes when it was still known as Bucknell Junior College Dr. Burns also has the distinction of being the first graduate ever to become a physician. The Wilkes community feels that Dr. Bums represents a fitting symbol for the accomplishments of all graduates. A concern was expressed about the funding of, the project, but O'Hop stresses that the funding for the project was procured from donations by Dr. Bums and his friends and family. "The money for the construction of the bell tower was given to the college specificall{y for the bell tower. These are not monies we can do anything else with." It must be noted, however, that Dr. Bums was approached with the idea of the bell tower by the college; the college was not approached by Dr. Bums. The bell tower is just one of many development projects that O'Hop feels will bring the college, "a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness." �PAGE FOUR . September 10, 1987 Parking rules to be enforced Parking has always been at a premium on campus. pven so, the person who was willing to take a chance on parking illegally could pull off a parking coup with a little creativity. (How mant times have you lifted a wooden gate to sneak your car under?) Well, those days are over. Effective Monday, September 14, at 8 a.m., Wilkes College will be making a major crackdown on illegal parkers. Previously, if a car was found in a college lot without an authorized permit, the cars were given a- warning. On a second offense, the car was ticketed. On the third offens~. the car was towed. Now, there will be no first, second, and third chances. Any vehicle without an authorized permit will New Vending Machines be towed "without any prior warning or ticketing, at the owner's expense." But don't think that just because you are the proud possessor of a parking permit that you are completely risk free. If you happen to park illegally within the confines of the lot, you too will be ticketed. If a second offense occurs, the car will be towed. In audition, all vehicles that are parked in handicapped spaces. loading zones, visitors spaces, sidewalks, grass areas, or double parked will be towed without prior warning. In short, if you don't have a permit, don't bother trying to park in a college lot, and if you do have a permit, park legally. Friday Night at the Movies with .

According to Dean Jane Lampe, the campus owned machines will enable the business office to have more control over the distribution of profits.

Many students, wondering about the new signs with the new logo have asked what will happen to the college seal. According to Jane Manganella, the use of the new "W" logo does not mean doing away with the traditional seal. "The seal is entirely different and the seal will be used where appropriate." Manganella said the logo came about with the recognition of the need for signs on campus. There were no clear signs for visitors, incoming freshmen, transfer students and the old plaques on the buildings were not very visable to the public. As a result, Dean Jane Lampe and Manganella said Presidential Cabinet Members Christopher Breiseth, Robert Heaman, Richard Charles, Paul O'Hop, Cheryl Scalese, Eugene Manganello, Jane Manganella, John Pesta, Joseph Chisarick, Bernard Vinokrvski, and Phil Tuhy decided to investigate the possibilities of placing large, readable signs with the new logo at designated campus areas. members The Cabinet _reviewed several designs submitted by a Philadelphia based firm called "Signtactics." The selection process started in the beginning of the academic year and went on until December. Manganella said there was no logo previous to this year and that the development of it will be extremely useful. The "W" on the logo is strong enough to be seen by those in cars passing by a building. She said the new signs have been placed on the lawns in front of or beside six buildings: Weckesser, Bedford, Stark Learning Center, Chase Hall, Sturdevant Hall and the Farley Library. "This lets you know you're still on Wilkes College campus," said Manganella. According to Manganella all the major buildings on campus will eventually have signs.

Ferris work, named "The Painter and the President" by Korrie Everett The Sordoni Art Gallery is presently featuring works by the American artist/historian, Jean Leon Gerome Ferris. Ferris does realistic paintings of famous historical events. Through . his paintings, Ferris treats us to a side of history that we rarely see; we view his subjects in an ordinary environment, eating breakfast or visiting family. Ferris spent many hours researching his subjects to be sure of the accuracy of his paintings. Ferris was born into an art1st.Ic family; his father, Stephan James Ferris, was a wellknown Philadelphia artist and Ferris' maternal uncles were also well-known artists. With such a family it was inevitable that he become an artist as well. Ferris was educated first by his father, then later on at the Pennsylvania Academy of the · Fine Arts. At the age ·of twenty, Ferris was sent to the Academic Julian in Paris. Presently, seventy-eight of his works are being shown at the Sordoni Art Gallery. They are arranged chronolg1cally from the time of Columbus discovering the New World to the sinking of a ship during World War II. This show is highly recommended to history and art buffs alike. Stop by any day of the week for an interesting and informative afternoon. Art Gallery times are Monday through Friday 12-5. Thursday eve- nings until 9. Weekend hours are Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 1-5.

New backpack and white Reeboks. Pockets full of stolen pens. Tuition is paid, thanks Mom. Thanks bank. Thanks Sallie Mae. If I ever graduate, the next thirty-five years of my life will be locked into a guaranteed debt structure that will keep me "workin' for the company store." But for now I've got $4.00 a month left over for food and clothing. Not a bad budget, all and all. That is, until the trip to the College Bookstore. Didn't I learn in History 101 that w0nopolies had been busted open under fair market laws? Doesn't all the confusion we have in dealing with the telephone company lately prove that nobody can have a throathold on business in this country? Yet, here at the Wonderful World of Wilkes (and I suppose most ' other institutes of higher learning), every semester we come to the painful realization that books, good old books, are fast on their way to becoming the new gold standard. It seems that the only Murphy's law in force is that the cost of one's books may equal but, in most cases, not exceed the price of one's tuition. Now, I don't mind books. Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends are books. But $29.50 for an anthology of British and American poetry? And all we're reading is the British · Poets?? That's almost $15.00 worth of wasted poets, so to speak. I realize that $15.00 for 30 poets breaks down to about 50 cents a poet, give or take, which isn't a bad price to pay these days for poets. On the open market. But still, couldn't ·we just go over to the used bookstore on South Main Street and pick up the same anthology for, say, 25 cents. With or without algebra that still comes out to just a little over a penny a poet! .Well, I've decided I'm getting my B.A. in Bookstore! That's all there is to it. Why struggle to become a practicing chemist, a violinist, or a certified public accountant, when, if you drop out now and open a college book store, you'll be racing across Biscayne Bay in a 42 foot launch by the time you're 30. $20.95 for Finite Math? Why, the Norton Anthologies,collcctively and individually, have cost me so far somewhere around one hundred dollars!! I had to build a whole new book shelf just to hold them. I have an incurable case of tennis elbow from carrying them, and every time I go back to the bookstore, good old Norton, whoever he is, has just come out with another revised edition. Why, you might suggest, don't I buy used books? Well! Even ·my used psych book with those little pictures of brains cut iq half, with those great diagrams of rats running through endless mazes, wasn't cheap. It has been marked to shreds in miles of squiggly yellow underlinings and love notes scribbled several semesters ago. I know. I sold it back to the bookstore last fall for 27 cents, and I just ran into it again, my very own recycled psych book, and the poor kid that was buying it was getting soaked for a good 15 bucks! When you stop to figure it out, that's almost four months worth of food and clothing. No, my mind's made up. I'm going to drop out of school and open my own College Bookstore. I don't need Econ 101 to understand the concept of "triple mark-up." I don't need Principles of Accounting to know when my budget is being used for cat litter. All I'll need is. a good calculator to add up my profits when I can sell used books at the same price people are paying on the open market for several pairs of large, mating minks. It's obvious that we're running out of educational options. Either you become a Doctor, a Lawyer, or a Bookstore Owner. There's just no four ways about it. But think, when you own your own bookstore, you can just lock the doors late at night, lean back, fluff up all your money, and have a nice, long, luxurious,jree read. �PAGE TEN September JU, 19li7 Hunger Continued from p.3 local, global, and physical hunger," Vento maintains, "It is also a way to work on our own hungers. It can satisfy the hunger of the heart, giving us a chance to open up to others. Itcan satisfy hunger of the mind by allowing us to use our abilities to both analyze and solve problems. It can also satisfy the hunger of our hands to effectively work to make a difference." In order to promote fight against hunger, the Hunger Campaign has four central events designed to further the awareness of local and world hunger collegewide. The kick-off to the campaign will be a Hunger Banquet, on Tuesday September 29,1987 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This banquet intends to illustrate the reality of world hunger. The second event is a crop walk on October 11. There will also be Hunger Teach-in in November, and the final event would be Campus Action Week, from November 16-20. The week would include another canned food drive and a v;>luntary day of fast at the cafeteria Through the four events, the task force plans to involve faculty, students, clubs organizations, and sports teams in the fight against hunger. Through the task force and the hunger campaign Vento and those involved also hope to bring awareness education and action about world hunger to Wilkes A person can recognize a problem, but until a person can actively help fight that problem, there is no sense. Says Vento,"To know and not to do is not to know." If you have concerns about world hunger and would like to help in any capacity, you can contact Tony Vento at 823-4168, Dr. Michael Garr at ext. 466, or Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long at ext 486.

Most people would see this season as a down year, but with thirty returning letrennan headed by All-American Tony DiGrazia and pre-season AllAmericans Joe Daches and Mark Habeeb the outlook for the 1987 · season looks very bright A mojor key for a successful season will depend on young rebuilt offensive line which returns only one starter. Head Coach Bill Unsworth feels that the talant returning in the skilled posistions will make the offense explosive. "The versatility of our skill people will help our offensive line, which we've had to rebuild," stated Unsworth. "This could be a real fun year." Leading the Colonel attack will be senior Carl Deluca, who will replace Brad Scarborough who holds almost every Colonel passing record. "Carl's a different type of athelete than Brad was. He is more patient, so we'll see more secondary receivers catching the ball." Lining up behind Deluca at fullback will be sophmore Courtney Mcfarlane who missed last season because of a knee mJury. "McFarlane's got blazing speed." Unsworth added, "He gives us what we didn't have last year, that speed." Sophmore Dean Ambosie, who set a record with most rushing yards as a freshman with 912 yards will start at one wingback. "Dean's got to learn half-back and fullback so we can play him at other places," said Unsworth.

Students have to face possible t in a local drug store to be protected against disease or to prevent unwanted pregnancies; they can purchase condoms on campus. Condoms are already available in the Health Services Office free of charge. The possibility of placing condoms in several of the new vending machines on campus has been discussed and is the subject of some controversy. A committee, chaired by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, was formed to recommend what items would be made available for sale in these machines. The committee met for the first time Tuesday during activities period to make a recommendation to the President's Cabinet as to what it felt should go in the machines, but no decision was reached. The committee will meet again next Tuesday at 12 p.m. in SLC 361. If the committee recommends that condoms be put in the machines, the contraceptives may be made available in vending machines in Pickering Hall, in Evans Hall, in Miner Hall, and in the Student · Center. According to Jane LampeGroh, dean of student affairs, the condoms will be wrapped in a "very discreet package." Lampe-Groh believes that making condoms available for sale in vending machines may take away the embarassment usually associated with buying "protection." "Sex is a very private matter," she said. "You might want the ar10nymity in buying any hygiene product." Condoms are currently available at the bookstore. kering sees several improvements Hall is the home of Sllldcnts, about half of an campus male poprding to Mark Allen, director of residence life.

These were probably words of comfort to all those concerned with the welfare of the school. The president, the Board of Trustees, and any one of a number of our administrators probably slept much easier after hearing that more students were enrolled at Wilkes than last year. After all, more students mean more money, and more money means more prestige for Wilkes. The number of students in and of itself adds a little prestige to the school, and definitely improves the school's image. After all, when you read that more people enrolled and were accepted at a school you are considering attending, doesn't that make a good impression? Doesn't that lead you to believe that Wilkes is such a good school that many people find the school worthy of attending? That's what I believed after a superficial examination of the facts. Enrollment is up. People want to come here, right? Then, just by chance, I happened to come across a copy of the Wilkes College application for admission. The application, although attractively displayed in the viewbook, amounts to nothing more than a mere regurgitation of vital statistics--your name, address, the major you wish to pursue, and some information about your parents. The application process is as simple as that. I've applied for credit cards that asked for more information than Wilkes asks for on its application. True, the application does request that a student's SAT score~ be sent to the College. Although this is a comforting thought, i1 states nowhere in the viewbook or the Bulletin what the minimum SAT score is. This leads me to believe that the SAT may mean very little to the College when it is considering an applicant fo1 admission. Granted, the SAT is not everything, and you cannot truly judge anyone on the basis of one test score. But, in addition the application does not even mention secondary school transcript: as a requirement for admission. Without that piece of valuable criteria, you may as well allow anyone who has the money to attend Wilkes College. In fact, if one looks at the application alone, one would be led to believe . that if you have the financial capacity to attend, the school will be willing to •overlook any possible lack of intellectual caoacitv to do so. This should not be the case. When considering a student for admission, the school has an obligation, to itself and to the students already attending the school, to look at the applicant's credentials, as well as to his ability to function in the environment the College wants to cultivate. If Wilkes' application is any indication, the school seems to want to maintain the student body at at least a fourth grade level. intelligently and to communicate effectively. In orde~ to see th~t a Continued on Student questions reasons behind bell tower To the Editor: Once again the students of Wilkes College are getting the opportunity to see the groundbreaking for yet another magnificent structure on campus. This time we will be hearing the caroling of bells as we stroll the campus grounds. For whom does the bell toll? Certainly not for the students who watch their dorms deteriorate with each passing year or for their classmates who leave school because they can no longer afford the tuition. When I first heard about the .proposed bell tower, I questioned the funding for the project. While I was upset to find out that Dr. Bums had donated the money specifically for the building of the tower, I was somewhat quieted knowing that it was not being paid for by the stu- A pawn in their 2ame Sure, it's pretty-but -w hat does it do? by M.

Now I am to understand from reading The Beacon that "Dr. Bums was approached with the idea of the bell tower by the college," and not the half-truth that we were told. According to Paul O'Hop, this project is supposed to bring "a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness" to the college, but in reality it is creating confusion · among the students, because the money can be put to better use. What about offering more scholarships to bring quality students to Wilkes in order to raise our academic standards, better research and laboratory facilities for academic growth, or anything that would affect the students more directly than a bell tower.

City to celebrate Air Force Day Mayor Thomas McLaughlin recently signed a proclamation establishing Friday, September 18, as Air Force Day in the City of Wilkes-Barre. Present at the signing of the proclamation were representatives of the U.S. Air Force Recruiters, U.S. Reservists, and Air Force ROTC. Air Force Day is intended to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the United States Air Force. According to the proclamation, the Air Force and its components "offer significant economic, social, and leadership benefits to young - people of northeastern Pennsylvania who seek responsibility and challenge." According to Captain Karl H. Zimmennan of the Wilkes College Air Force ROTC program, a special Air Force information booth will be placed on Public Square on Friday. Also on public display will be an Air Force mini-jet, and an Air Force birthday cake will be served. During the celebration there will be a POW (Prisoner of War)MlA (Missing in Action) Balloon Release in honor of the 120 POWMIAs from Pennsylvania. There will be 113 white and black balloons released as well as 7 red balloons in remberance of seven local Luzerne County POW-MlA'.s. Air Force Sgt. Neno Sartini, a Vietnam veteran will speak on behalf of the POW-MIA's. "May peace prevail on earth," is the message proclaimed by the new Wilkes College Peace Pole. According to Jane Lampe-Groh, dean of student affairs, the wooden pole was donated to the College last week in the Arnaud C. Marts courtyard by a visiting young actress. Lampe-Groh said Chikae Ishikawa, the Japanese actress and member of "The Society of Prayer for World Peace," appeared in the play "Stop the World - I Want to Get Off' at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts Building in Wilkes-Barre. While visiting Wilkes-Barre this summer, Ishikawa decided to extend the message of peace to this community by acquiring a peace pole through "The Peace Pole Project," based in East Jordan, Michigan. The pole arrived in the latter part of August with the peace message. inscribed in four languages. According to Lampe-Groh and Paul Adams, associate dean of student affairs, the four languages on the pole are English, Polish, Hebrew and Arabic.

The College has representatives visit local high schools in search of prospective students. When prospective students are identified, the office members contact them and ask them to give Willces a chance to show them the type of programs and facilities available. Within the past year, Wilkes has made use of the "Young Scholars Program" which permits area students in the top 10% of their class to take courses at Wilkes that fit into their schedules . According to Vinovrski, this too gives Willces the chance to recruit more students . The admissions department · also contacts alumni who have succeeded in their careers. These alumni use information gathered by the admissions department about how each department wants their program represented. Help has also come from the Public Relations (P.R.)

"We're continuing to work on the image of Willces locally and out of the area. It is a matter of knowing where students have come from and experimenting with those areas." Vinovrski said that the most gratifying aspect of the whole year is the amount of incoming students. He said a substantial part is freshmen. By i:emaining in close contact with students, a type of bond is established. Instead of feeling like one in a number of faces, the admissions office tries to make the students feel more at home. He said, "In the first two weeks, I have not heard anything else than that they're really happy and we knew them really well. "A small private school environment must know their prospective students better." Parents need to feel · important and students need to feel important.

Sure, having our first oncampus Programming Board MiniConcert since Elektra recording stars, The Sharks, graced us last year is big, but more 'importantly, it is really ' a big day for Chip Mergott and the Stingers. This is the first show backing their brand new album, "Roomful of Noise," recorded on Notebook records. The Stingers, made up of Mergott (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Dan Caruso (bass), Jimmy Garebo (drums), Jack Morror (guitar), and Stanky Brown band refugee John Korba (keyboards), are out of the PlainfieldWachtung area of New Jersey. The band has been playing together for four years but this is their first The plumber, philosophy, and the kitchen sink by Marsha Howes My life as a non-traditional student in college is often augmented by experiences beyond the classroom. Ideally, I would choose my days to be ones of attending classes, engaging in intellectual discourse; sharing ideas with my college friends; and writing daily with no interruptions. Reality intrudes - recently it was in the guise of a water faucet which broke in mid-shower, preventing me from finishing my morning bathing . After turning off the water for the entire house, I opened the telephone book to the yellow pages and picked Jeremiah Dunkerll' , plumber. I had never heard of this man - there was no rhyme or reason to my choice of this particular plumber. On the agr~-upon day ~Dunker arrived in a typical truck, the back covered with a camper-type top. He was an odd-looking man and I began to doubt my method of selecting a plumber. He was tall, but slightly stooped, arms and legs a bit askew, and he walked-with a hop-limp. Topping his head was hair that appeared to escape all methods of combing and brushing, giving Mr. Dunker the look of a wild man. He wore Ben Franklin half glasses and was missing one bottom front tooth. As Mr. because I thought I had turned it too Dunker slowly climbed up the hard), what new part he would need steep, back stairs leading to the to repair it, and that even I could bathroom , he explained he had had repair the faucet.

With "Roomfu l of Noise" the Stingers have become, as Mergott put ·it in a phone interview, "a performing unit." The former Lafayette student has a special feeling for the Pennsylvania music fans. He spent part of the summer playing here in Pennsylvania and he was accepted with open arms. To that he said "Thank you to the music fans of Pennsylvania. I received a warm welcome during the summer and that made me feel good." Mergott likes the college crowd. He says that there are no unpleasant crowds. "Colleges step outside the norm," he said. "It takes a little investment by the listener to get into it (the music). College students will make that invest- ment," Mergott said. What will make this ming Board concert dim the others is that the Sting be playing any cover tunes maybe one or two, said but mostly original Stinger Mergott hopes the new al be readv for concert, if not, WCLH will copy.

J �, PAGE EIGI-IT September 17, 1987 A different perspective Confessions of a dinosaur by Bill Barber Let's face it, I'm probably one of the oldest undergraduates at Wilkes. Although this has caused me some embarrassment at times (like walking into class on the first day and having the students suddenly jump to attention) I am, after all is said, glad to be back. Being a dinosaur does have its disadvantages. My long tail keeps getting caught in the library doors. Sometimes I feel like I'm too big for the little desks, too old to flirt with a pretty co-ed, and too tired to even think of going to a college dance, but I'm adjusting. Other than the occassional whisper: "What's he doing here?"-- things have been improving. Now, it is not true that I was one of Agamemnon's cabin boys. Nor did I ever have lunch with Bill Shakespeare. But it is true that when I was your age the world was a different place indeed. Viet Nam, the Beetles, protests, hippies, drugs. Things your parents probably talk about. It was a different time. Not better. Not worse. Just very different. The catch phrase then was "tum on, tune in, and drop out." I did. I turned on. I tuned in. And, unfortunately, I dropped out. Life was a fantastic merry-go- · round then, and I was one of the smugest little creatures in the jungle. I read Hopkins and Nietzsche before I was twenty, so I figured I was as smart as I could be. Degree? Who me?? In a few short years I went from driving my Dad's convertible to driving a dirty taxi before I realized how important having that college degree would be in the real world. Maybe now that I'm a regular Tyrannosaurus Rex, I'll finally get it straightened out. Okay. Okay. Before I start breathing fire at you, let me say that I'm glad for all of it. Living is still the best way to get through life. Do it. Risk it. But face· the consequences. One of those consequences for me has been to finally come back to college to finish the degree I have abandoned at least five times over the past twenty years. It isn't easy, and I'd love to be twenty, but this will have to do, I find that the older I get the more I know how much I don't know and how eager I am to learn. Like Astronomy! I've looked through telescopes before. Twenty years ago I looked through a telescope at the North Star, and I laughed and asked the girl beside me for a date. This time I looked at the North Star and I said: "O my God ! There really IS a universe out there! " I guess what I'm trying to say is: stick with it. Get that degree! Unless you want to end up like I did last year, the only Pterodactyl in Psych 101! I mean, it's embarrassing and a little uncomfortable when your tail gets caught in the library doors. Get your diploma first and then go taste and see the · world with CS-115 behind you. There were just too many years I crawled through the tropics thiaj<ing I was so *%#$@ smart, but wishing I had that little piece of paper on my palm tree. That's ail. Nuf said. I just needed to get this off my scaly chest. Seek knowledge for its own sake, yes. But do everything you can to graduate first. Oh, and one more thing. Be very, very happy.

As good as comedy may be for Ray Owen, it is not his true strong point. The music he plays is his performance strong point. He boasts a repertoire of over 700 songs. Of these songs most are serious cover songs. The rest are original, borrowed, or spoofed. He did coffeehouse favorites by such artists as James Taylor, Ario Guthrie, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Kenny Rogers, and The Beatles. He also did mock-ups of Julio and Willie ("To all the Girls I Camped With Before") and Johnny Cash and Pete Townshend ("Pinball Wizard"). Of course, he mixed the best of both worlds by singing original funny songs. He sang about "vegematics," "yuppies," "TV evangelists," "hot tubs," two alcohol songs--The Pickering Song and "If You Drink Don't Park, Accidents Cause People"-- "Rednecks," and relatives--"I'm My Own Grandpa." Ray Owen kept the crowd in tune with him the entire two hours that he performed. If the crowd was any indication, Ray's coming performances at Catholic U., Susquehanna U. and Delaware Valley U. will be equal smashes. More important than being a fine, talented performer, Ray Owen was friendly and never talked down to the audience, which is sometimes common of very · talented stage personalities. So, from the bottom of my heart, thanks to the Programming Board for bringing us Ray Owen. Pictured above is Ray Owen, the first performer of the '87-'88 Solo-Concert Series Co-ordinated by Andrew Morrell for the Programming Board. �September 17, 1987 PAGE TEN Women soccer goes varsity by Lisa Miller Wilkes Athletic Department has added a new women's sport to the schedule.

"We want to represent the college the best we can and have a good time doing it." "I'm not concerned about what kind of record the team will compile this season. The main thing is to get the program started," he stated. "This year will be a good . teaching and learning experience for most of the kids. There are some experienced players on the team but many of the girls don't have a lot of experience. The main thing this season is to teach the fundamentals and gain experience." Coach Jacowicz is very enthusiastic about the team and hopes to be able to follow the nine game schedule. "I'd hate to have to cancel any games," Jacowicz said. The team opened its season Wedensday against the University of Scranton after a shaky start. It was not definite until Monday afternoon that the team would even exist but due to the dedication of the players and Coach Jacowicz the team was able to start its season. The next home game will be Tuesday, October 6 at 4 p.m. against SUNY Binghamton. Good luck wishes go out to Coach Jacowicz and the players for a successful season. Any one interested in joining the team can attend a practice at 4:15 in Kirby Park next to the tennis courts (not the Wilkes courts) or contact Coach Wingert at the Athletic Department.

The day began on a dreary note, but as the Colonels took the field, spirits started to shine. In the first half the lady stickers showed patience as they applied constant pressure toward the goal. Kelly Wandel scored the season's first goal with an assist from Joyce Dait. Wandel let the Cougars know that she was a force to be reckoned with as she added another goal near the end of the first half. Sue Dicton was credited with the assist.

In his first start of the season, Lenny Rosanoff was instrumental as he made several key saves in the goal. The · scoring was initiated by John Pursell as he ripped a penalty kick into the net early in the first half. The Colonel's scoring attack was silent during the remainder of the half. An agressive play by Mike Linczycki resulted · in an early second half goal. Linczycki spent most of the game chasing the Delaware Valley defense. Unfortunately for the Del. Val. defense, Lenczycki capitalized on an errant defensive distribution. Lenczycki intercepted the pass and zoomed by the defense for the Colonels second goal of the game. The third goal of the game was the strangest. Matt Ryan, who was pushing up from his position as sweeper, was the target man for a Wilkes restart in the offensive third of the field. The kick was taken, as designed, and Ryan was in perfect positon to head the ball. Ryan directed the ball toward the goalmouth with a header. The ball was headed rather high by Ryan and completely fooled the opposing goal keeper.

Theresa Ayers also shined with 9 aces. Linda Strataface had five of the team's seven blocks. "Our senior setters, Theresa (Ayers) and Carolyn (Ciccarino), are doing a terrific job," said Coach Saracino. "The setter has a hard job; it is just like being the quarterback." The Lady Colonel's ~ecord now stands at 5-3. The defense also played a major role in Saturday's victory. They continually fed the ball to their offensive line which proved to be very frustrating to the Cougar offense. The strikers allowed very few shots on goal and were not afraid to get down and dirty to prove who was in charge. Excellent defensive performances were given by Kim Cooper, Debbie Decesare, Dawn Smith, and Jane Zeller. Each week the coaches and captains will give recognition to a hockey player who exhibits outstanding skill and dedication on the field. This week's special recogn1uon goes to Susan Barr. Barr did an outstanding job taking over the newly opened position of goalie. Saturday's shutout is a prime example of her dedication to the team and sport. Congratulations Susan. The lady stickers will take their 1-0 record on the road Thursday when they play at East Stroudsburg and again on Saturday at Albright. The Lady Colonels would like to express their appreciation to all those who braved the rain to support the team.

Trivia '87 'R RRR RRR RR RR u u, AR, RR RR RR AR RR RR,,. by Lee Morrell Well folks, it took a phone call to my home, waking me out of a sound slumber, but we did come out with a winner for our abbreviated version of "TRIVIA '87." The gentleman who dashed my dream of Pulitzer Prize excellence was the one and only Brain "Brian" Dorsey. Brain correctly told us that the head coach who had the impressive 10 year record of 103-32-7 with the Raiders was the one and only John "Less Filling--Tastes Great" Madden. For his extreme intelligence, Brain will receive an all expense paid trip to anywhere $5.00 will take him. Or he could take his prize in its monetary form. On to bigger and better things, i.e. TRIVIA! The gridiron is burning up and the diamond is sparkling. For the first time in a very . long time Pitt won while cross-state rival Penn State lost--lN THE SAME WEEKEND. So, with football and baseball co-existing in a symbiotic universe we will center our questions on both. OUESTION#l The 1973 Oakland A's went to -and won- the World Series. Who was the rookie second sacker, who went on to bigger and better things in the late 70's and early 80's on a National League squad? OUESTION#2 James Lofton, the former All-Pro receiver from Green Bay, was traded to the L.A., soon to be the Irwindale, Raiders. In a twist of fate the Raiders faced the Packers on opening day of '87. As usual, the Pack dropped another one to the Raiders. When is the last time the Packers beat the Raiders? Best of luck to each and everyone of you Trivia buffs. PLEASE, if you know the answers to this week's questions, call me here at the Beacon, no where else. The number here is 288- oops! I mean ext. 379 or just drop up and see us on the 3rd floor of the Student Center. • �Wilkes College Vol. XL Wilkes-Barre, PA No. 2 18766 September 17, I Colonel Late score ·gives Colonels victory by Bill Kem Even though it was a rainy and gloomy day there was a glow on Ralston Field. It came from the the Wilkes College Colonels who buckled up thei chinstraps when it counted to achieve a hard fought 3028 victory over Cortland State. There were many geroes in Saturday's game; but it was a team effort that won it for the Colonels. At the beginning of the game it looked like the Colonels would have no trouble with the Red Dragons. Behind the running of Courtney McFarlane and Dean Ambosie the Colonels took the opening kickoff and drove the ball straight down the field. Then on a third down, quarterback Carl Deluca hooked up with wide receiver Ron Ulitchney for a thirty yard touchdown pass. Shawn - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , Meagly split the uprights and the Colonels had a 7-0 lead.

McGuire is a 198.5 Wilkes graduate and a former member of the team. Joining McGuire on the coaching staff for the harriers is Assistant Coach Mike Keohane. Other newcome~s are freshmen Paul Miorelli, Tom Devine, and•sophomore Jon Kline. Last year's returning squad consists of junior Doug Lane, senior Pete Huber, and senior Captain Tom Urso. This past Saturday the team traveled to Fort Indiantown Gap to challenge the rain and murl in the Lebanon Valley Invitational. With Urso on the injured list Lane lead the Colonels followed by Mionelli, Kline, Huber, and Device.

The two point conversion 1failed and the Colonels were back on top 13-7. Cortland came right back with another scoring drive. But this time the Colonel defense stiffened; it took a naked bootleg on fourth and goal for the Red Dragons to hit paydirt. The PAT was good and Cortland was ahead for the first time, 14-13. With less than two minutes left Wilkes went to its two minute offense. And with only seconds remaining Meagly's 52 yard field goal attempt was short, and Cortland went into the locker room with a one point lead. Cortland took the second half kickoff and looked like it was going to pad its lead. The Wilkes defense had other ideas; a hard hit caused the Red Dragon running back to fumble and Mike Canterella fell on the loose pigskin. On the following play Ambosie went 70 yards to give the Colonels a 19-14 lead. Deluca then hit Mike Harrison for the two point conversion to give the Colonels a 21-14 lead. Specialty teams are a important part of a football and a break down could disasterous. Such was the Saturday. With a Cortland stalled the Red Drligons lined a field goal.

Additionally, throughout the year, the dry wall around the shower stalls will be replaced or repaired more efficiently. The walls in many of the bathrooms are damaged or falling apart, perhaps due to poor planning in the building's construction. Another change in Evans, as well as in Pickering, is the replacing of college security by student guards during the late night hours. The Residence Life Office is in charge of hiring and supervising these guards. "The change," says Allen, "allows for more comprehensive security of the campus by zone guards." Campus security is in · charge of making sure all the donns are secure but not patrolling the donns. The "major" change which happened in Evans this year is the conversion of the Health Science Offices on the fust floor to an apartment for the new associate director of housing, Leigh Major. Her presence in Evans is to provide adult influence and assistance to the north end of the campus. Major graduated from Wilkes with a degree in sociology and received her Master in Education from Springfield. She then served as director of residence life/assistant dean of student affairs at West Virginia Wesleyan College. "I really enjoyed going toWilkes," says Major. "The opportunity to return here was great." Her apartment is "great" and she is pleased with how she's been able to decorate it. Major secs a positive change occurring at Wilkes. She feels that both the college and its reputation will continue to grow. "I don't think the college has reduced its standards, "she said, "in fact, I understand that SAT's and class rank are up." Eventually she would like to become part of a dean staff. She enjoys working with students and taking a pro-active rather than reactive approach. "In other words," she explains, "work on a way of making things better, instead of waiting until something happens and fixing it." An immediate goal of hers is to increase the amount of events and programs that happen in the residence halls. She plans to work with the RAs to reach this goal.

Paul Adams, associate dean of academic affairs; iane Lampe-Groh, dean of academic affairs; Eugene Domzalski, Career Services; and Kristen Kolensky, senior class president, were speakers at the event. According to Domzalski, 80% of the students surveyed are attending college "to get a job."

What do you think of when you think of a college newspaper? Do you think of a medium that can help to communicate things to the students, faculty, and staff of a college to keep them better informed? Or do you think of a college newspaper as a publication run by the college, Lo communicate the information the administration wants when they want it run? Although the former should be the rule, the potential for a college publication to be construed as the latter is there. But even though a college newspaper isn't the New York Times, it could still have an impact on local media. The role of this college's paper has become more vital in view of Wilkes' ever-increasing concern with its image. This becomes particularly evident when one looks at two roadblocks The Beacon has encountered recently. The first is the Public Relations Policies printed in a recent issue of the Wilkes College Intercom. "So what?" you might say, "Every college has PR policies." But it is the undertones that accompany this particular set of policies that disturb me. The Intercom states, "To insure that the College speaks with a clear and consistent voice in the presentation of news ... it is imperative that all media contacts be cleared by the Public Relations off/ce . . . .The Director of Public Relations has final , approval authority." Although this may make perfect sense to the administrators of this College and is consistent with the College's renewed concern with image, it seems to me that this policy smacks slightly of Big Brother tactics. The statement, "... it is imperative that all media contacts be cleared by the Public Relations Office," implies that although members of the College community have every right to express their views about the College, they do not, however, have the right to see these views in print. The College, then, has the ability to screen media contacts and present only the best picture to the public. As far as image ·goes, the policy works. However, this kind of restriction of the flow of information from the College to the pubiic presents a distorted image of the school. Wilkes calls this a "consistent and unified image of the college." Yet there is a problem inherent in this policy: what would happen if a member of this community decided to go against these policies and release something that was not cleared by the PR office? Would this person, by exercising his constitutional rights, endanger his job or mar his record? What is perhaps most important is the effect that these policies may have on the flow of information from the College to the students. How will we, the students, be affected? Although none of the stories in The Beacon has to be cleared with the PR office or the College, in the past we have been asked not to run controversial stories or to wait to run such stories. In most cases we have opted to print these stories bec~use we feel that the students have the right to know what is going on around them. VOL.

All views expressed are those of the individual writer and not of the publication or the College. Names may be ithheld from letters to the editor, but all letters to the editor must be igned to insure validity. Perhaps what is even worse than these blatant attempts are the subtle runarounds we have been confronted with on certain stories. A fine example of these runarounds is the recent article on the belltower. Last year, The Beacon tried to report on the then unfinanced bell tower. Although we were led to believe we could get a story, we later found the people involved were unwilling to share information with us. This was understandable, since the project was very much up in the air at the time. This year, however, we began the year with a very basic story about the tower--a project not only confirmed, but one that could be begun at any moment. We went back to do an extensive follow-up, and although we were given some information, a source in Chase Hall "requested" that we withhold the information "until a later date." This seems quite senesless; most of the College community already knows about the bell tower. In fact, there seems to be quite a bit of clouded information that could easily be cleared up with a follow-up article. One would think that the College would be eager to keep its members informed about something as important as the bell tower. True, Public Relations itself did not ask us to withhold this story. But this episode does reflect the College's concern with its image. The administration apparently wishes to control the type and amount of information that reaches the College community and the community at large, and it seems to be exercising this control by making Public Relations the "heavy." Public Relations has a job to do; why must the College use that office as its censor? These policies are indicative of a much larger problem. The students pay tuition; they have every right to know what is going on; they have every right to know the truth, unclouded by slick phrases and administrative whitewash . Given the facts, students can make their own judgments about the quality of life here at Wilkes. The same can be said of the general public. Yes, we want public support--and contributions to the school. But at what cost? Is Wilkes willing to compromise the truth for a few bucks? I hope the answer is no. a~ the Dear Editor, After reading your edi the September 17th edition Beacon, I came to the c that fact-finding is not your point.

Mergott and the Stingers put on a' fantastic show: the music was great; the musicianship was, by at least one account, the best Wilkes has heard at any Programming Board ,event so far; and (if these weren't enough) the audience loved them. When the Stingers came out on stage for their encores, almost everyone in the audience ended up dancing in the aisles. What, you say, you did11't see the show? Well, don't worry, you're not alone. Most people on this campus didn't see that performance. Most people elected to stay home and watch Miami Vice, apparrently, for only about 30 people went to the Mergott concert. That's a shame.

This is not to mention the inconvenience to the parents, who become screaming maniacs calling everyone from their committee persons to the governor. This is what the strikers want. But let's go back to the innocents--the children. On September 2 15,000 teachers had already decided to strike, affecting 260,000 children in five states. As of September 8, the number rose to over 30,000 teachers, 570,000 students, and 22 states. "So what," you say; "Teachers rights," you scream. What about students' rights? When I was growing up, I believed teachers were angels who loved kids-- caring, understanding, and infinitely patient. After all, why else would they become teachers? Then I grew up--the Easter Bunny died, Santa caught pneumonia, and teachers went on strike. I'm now in college, hoping to become a (eacher, because I like to teach. I already know that it isn't what, but who you know, that gets you hired. But that doesn't bother me. Aptitude tests would soon get rid of the incompetent "cousin of the mayor."

In this area we have two school districts where contracts expired this year. Both responded in different ways. In Pittston Area 19,000 students resumed school on time and the Pittston Area Federation of Teachers signed new contracts, with a nice raise and increased insurance coverage for its members, without a strike. The other school system is in Throop. There the situation is entirely different. For over two weeks the students have been sitting home wiping dust off their brand new bookbags, while the people who are supposed to be teaching them are yelling words not allowed in school, calling the city fathers awful names, and threatening to beat up those nice people the city to hires to teach. As of today , September 22, there is no visible end to the strike. If and when school does open, and the teachers and the administration are the best of friends again, what would happen if the students learned their lessons well and went on strike? The students would demand that teachers must work without overtime or any other compensation to make up time lost due to the Slfike. After all, the students will h: there--and they don't get paid! WHEAT to sponsor banquet By Kim Klimek The Wilkes Hunger Education and Action Task Force (WHEAT), 1s coordinating a "Hunger Banquet" at 11 :00 a.m. on . Tuesday September 29. Approximately 100 Wilkes College administration, faculty and students are expected to attent the event, according to Tony Vento, campus minister. The R.S.V.P. to the invitations must be returned by Friday to Gladys DeLeon at ext. 118. Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long, assistant professor of history and political science; Dr. Michael Garr, associate professor of sociology and Vento originated the idea of creating a hunger force this summer at a related hunger discussion. They decided a hunger banquet would be a good way to start their campaign. Behuniak-Long says the event will be a learning experience about world hunger. The event was then approved by Vice-President of Academic Affairs Robert Heaman. There will be no cost to attend the event, but donations will be accepted. Behuniak-Long said that the money raised at the banquet will fund WHEAT acuv1t1es and possibly be used toward the Crop Walk, St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen, or the Commission o Economic Opportunity. Vento said that 21 students attended the last WHEAT meeting. He thinks there's a lot of interest in the new group and, hopefully, i world hunger.

There were speakers, displays, a mini-jet, balloons and an anniversary cake. It was the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the U.S. Air Force. It was also Air Force Day in the city of Wilkes-Barre, as proclaimed by Mayor Thomas McLaughlin. Colonel David Billings spoke on the local history of the Air Force. He also commented on the mayoral proclamation of "Air Force Day." Then, a representative from active duty recruit, Master Sergeant (SSgt.) Beachack, spoke for another part of the area, thanking the Wyoming Valley for making the celebration of the 40th year cele- bration of the U.S. Air Force JX)SSible. Wilkes College ROTC Cadet Joseph Snell, conducted a ceremony for the release of 120 white, black, and red balloons in honor of the national POW (Prisoners of War)-MIA (Missing in Action) of Pennsylvania. According to Billing, each balloon carried a cadet's name and self-addressed card enclosed in a plastic bag. The individual who finds the balloon travelling the farthest distance and the cadet who sent the balloon will win a prize. After the balloon release, Air Force Sgt. Neno Sartini, a Vietnam veteran, spoke on behalf of the POW-MIAs. The fortieth anniversary cake was then cut and the Air Force personnel went home before a downpour of rain could dampen their spirits.

She added that many teachers and older students still prefer the old system. Although people won't run into as many inadvertantly related files as in the regular card catalogue, the library staff members feel these time saving devices will become the modern research tool.

Maybe it's a swimmer with seven gold medals around his neck, like Mark Spitz. How about an upstart ice-hockey team, like 1980s. It could even be the first time gold for a men's volleyball squad, like 1984s. As I've tried to illustrate, the textbook "Olympic hero" comes in all shapes and sizes. A good look at the heroes from the '84 Olympics proves just that. Those heroes ranged from giant size superheavy weight boxer, Tyrell Biggs to the pint sized gymnast, Mary Lou Retton. Situated in there somewhere, closer to Mary Lou than Tyrell, is triple medalist (1 Silver, 2 Gold) Peter Vidmar. As team captain, he lead the 1984 men's Olympic gymnastic team to the first ever all-around championship in this country's history. Vidmar's other gold came in individual competition in which he pulled off a perfect 10.00 to win the pommel horse. Peter won his silver in the most exciting, yet the most heartbreaking part of the competition. He lost the individual all-around to Koji Gushiken, of only way to put it into perspective is by saying 'This is what I've Japan, by a mere 25/lOO0th of a trained for, only it's happened point. With these honors he goes completely.' " , He felt the same down . as the highest scoring way about the medal ceremony. gymnast in USA history.

I am sure the list could become quite lengthy. I fall into that catagory just as frequently as the next person. I found myself doing · it this weekend while on a retreat. While there, a friend, who works at a local college, asked me how it is to be a parttime, nontraditional student at Wilkes. Out of my mouth came a torrent of complaints. It was a di~tinct pleasure to articulate my many gripes and perceived injustices of the past year. Reflecting on my outburst, I am embarrassed. Why am I a student at Wilkes if I can complain but not compliment; and especially if I complain to those not connected to Wilkes who can offer me no redress? This experience provided the impetus for me to attempt to fairly evaluate how I perceive Wilkes College-its assets and liabilities. Wilkes College is modest in size and population. This can be advantageous, enabling smaller class size, more attention from • staff and faculty, and the opportunity to become acquainted with many people who attend or work at Wilkes. I would guess the location of Wilkes, in the midst of Wilkes-Barre, limits the size of the campus, but what convenience to walk one block and be downtown. Truly we are an integral part of the WilkesBarre community. There is no other campus locally that can boast of the many 19th century, stately homes which faculty, admin· istration and students. These gracious buildings were constructed in a time when pride and craftsmanship were of great value. These buildings caress my eyes every time I pass by them. My personal favorites arc Kirby and Weckesser. All staff, maintenance, food service, faculty, and administration, are friendly and helpful. I am especially grateful to Dr. Sue Behuniak-Long, Dr. Particia Heaman, and Dr. Stanley Gutin. Each one has made me feel welcome and an asset to the Wilkes community. Their availability to advise, assist, and listen have been beyond what I would have ever expected. The student body is the bulk of any college campus. I expected to be treated with skepticism as an "older" student. It has been a delightful surprise to be well-accepted as a normal person. I have made many new friends. One of the main reasons I chose to complete my education at Wilkes is because it is a liberal arts institution. I think it is a tremendous advantage that I am receiving a "well-rounded" educalion. It is important to reach around and pat ourselves on the back. However, a modicum of humility is advisable, leading to constant evaluation. Evaluation implies taking a critical look. Admittedly, all new students initially enrolling at Wilkes, or any college, feel lost and confused, wondering where the bookstore, library, student uni-· on, financial office, and classrooms are located. Traditional, full-time students have the advantage of orientation. This is not so for non-traditional students. I think I speak for many when I say I felt like an alien from another planet my first semester. I am not a shy person, afraid to ask questions, but I did not even know who to ask. Most help and advice came from other nontraditional students who had had similar experiences. Might we consider assigning a "mentor" to new in-coming non-traditional students? This mentor could show a new student the ropes in one or two days and remain "oncall" as needed. Non-traditional implies just that. We are often employed, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, single parents, or community volunteers. Our lives most often are more complicated and demanding than traditional students. This prevents us from taking 12 or 15 credit hours; instead we attempt to manage sanely with 6 or 9 credits. Unfortunately this eliminates us from receiving academic achievement recognition. Can this issue be resolved? Perhaps part-timers could be recognized every 12, 15, or 18 credit hours for their achievements. The bread and butter of many colleges will continue to depend more and more on older students entering academic institutions. Can colleges afford to treat them as second-class people? The Eugene Shedden Farley Library is a comfortable, convenient facility, with a helpful, generous staff. I have been impressed with the varied services it provides, affording ease when doing research. However, frequently I have needed materials relating to women and women's issues. the paucity might cover these issues. concerned that people w a special interest in wo women's issues will ~ couraged and abandon ther to have women as adv' my major and minor. as excellent role models as I am sure they do flJ younger women on However, as I have over the past year, exce~ field of nursing, there is ious lack of women faculty, in administration, upper level manageme!C itions.c who might well role models for the wo presently comprise 49% students enrolled at Studies have been done out the need for role m women, particularly in traditional fields hereto! entered into by women.

The lecture was held last Thursday night at the Center for the Performing Arts. The lecture dealt largely with how the original colonists were represented in thier newborn government, and Prof. Baldino went into great detail on both John Locke'sandEdmundBurke's theories of representation. After speaking, Prof. Baldino fielded questions from a panel of randomly selected Wilks political science majors. Andre Miller, Elaine D'Elia, Walter Smith, Kathleen Bembrook and Walter Connor comprised the panel, and asked some thought provoking questions dealing with our government today. Kathleen Bembrook led off the questioning, asking what could ever be done about the vast lack of voting in our country. When Prof. Baldino stated that there was no simple solution for this problem, he was asked how this apathetic lack of voting effects people who hold office in Washington; "If citizens don't use thier votes, the people in Washington must surmise that they (the citizens) are happy with the way things are being run." he replied. The most inriguing point of the evening came when the panel inquired as to why people such as Mario Cuomo, Ted Kennedy and Bill Bradley, who many believe would make fine presidents, will not be running in the 1988 race. "They won't be running because they don't see any great glory in being the President." said Baldino. "Experts are predicting a recession in the not so far future, and none of these three men want to be labled as 'the President who brought the recession'. " Prof. Baldino attended the University of Illinois, where he recieved a Masters degree in Political Science. He continued his education at the University of Pennsylvania, where he recieved his Phd. He has been travelling throughout Pennsylvania, visiting colleges and spreading his knowledge of the Constitution's history; as well as giving college students the chance to tap his knowhow of our government today. Beacon at the movies Intense Fatal Attraction by John Gordon If you are in search of a suspense filled, intense filled, and fright filled flick, look no more; "Fatal Attraction" has arrived! You must be warned that once you take your seat you will not want to get up. So get your popcorn, candy, or soda before you .enter the theater of thrills. In "Fatal Attractions," Michael Douglas and Glenn Close tum in just might be the best performances of their acting careers. This is especially true in their violent encounters throughout the movie. In the film the two get involved in a steamy weekend love affair which supposedly has no strings attached. This is due to the fact that the character played by Douglas is married. At first the psychotic woman played by Close accepts the situation. However, as the film goes on we witness a hideous transformation in her character. She becomes frighteningly obsessive and violent, doing everything and anything to get Douglas to be hers. She constantly calls him at home disturbing his personal life with his wife and child. The end of this film is one of the most intense movie finales of all time. I will, however, give you this hint. The last seen takes place in a bathroom with a knife.

What If friend, Gary "Fabs" Fabiano, who ·vill be your host for the record review. Thanks, guys. The compilation "4 Bands That Could Change the World" present four bands that would probably be classified under the punk/hardcore musical influence. This compilation provides you with four bands with four different musical styles which I'm sure will fill one of your musical requirements. The songs present on the album show the progress and maturing within the band and within their style of playing music, which even includes some live tracks. I enjoyed this album thoroughly and I am sure you will find out that this is 100% hard rocking music which will get your body moving. If you would like to hear one of the bands, call up WCLH and request to hear one of the songs off the compilation, or just listen to the"Gary and Gregg Punk/Hardcore show" (It's on Thursday nights from 9:00 to 12:00) and we will spotlight one song from each band during the show. The Wilkes Rowing Club by Bruce Hom burg Fair Bus Trip y, October 2 leave the front the S.U.B. at e will go by and tickets are $1.00 u are interested, on Lhe 3rd floor the S.U.B. Rowing on the Susquehanna River? Come on. Believe it or not, I 00 years ago the regatta held on our river was a big attraction and drew over 10,000 spectators. Sunday, September 6 that tradition returned to our area with the WilkesBarre 100 Years Regatta. The regatta, sponsored by the WilkesBarre Rowing Club (WBRC), attracts national caliber teams from as far away as Philadelphia and New York. National champion Carl Viola raced in the regatta and afterwards said that our course was one of the best on the East Coast and that he couldn't wait to come back. The course he spoke of is an 8 lane, 2000 meter course that runs from near the Pierce Street Bridge to the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, right in front of Wilkes. Crew members from Drexel University said that the high dikes and relatively calm water make this an ideal place to row. They couldn't believe that Wilkes, a school rich in traditon, doesn't have a rowing team . Teams from the Philadelphia area travel miles to row on inferior rivers such as the Skuylkill, and we have an ideal river right on campus. So why doesn't Wilkes have a rowing team? This has been a question asked by both students and administration members alike in these past weeks. Wilkes, with cooperation from the Wilkes-Barre Rowing Club, is forming a rowing c.lub. The WBRC has been graciously helping Wilkes with their coaches, Linda Scott and Tom Young, and also with the use of their equipment. Every morning you can see Linda and Tom out on the water teaching a iew new Wilkes students the art of sculling. Wilkes College has showr.. much interest in this club and the sport itself. The faculty is represented by the new faculty advisor, Dr. Farooq, along with other faculty members. Thirty students attend the meetings and rowing practice. Also, from the administration, Dr. Nejib, Dean of the school of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Amy Weidemer, Director of Student Activities have shown interest. As you can see the support is coming from all directions and the club is growing daily. It is now in the process of purchasing more boats with money already raised by the club. The meetings are held every Tuesday in Stark Leaming Center room 166. No experience is necessary and everyone is encouraged to come. Not only are rowers needed, but also managers and people to work on the boats. This Saturday, September 26, the Wilkes College Rowing Club, along with the WBRC, is holding an open house picnic in Nesbitt Park (right across Market Street from Kirby Park). There will be rowing all day and the picnic festivities start at 4:00 p.m. Since this is Parent's Day at Wilkes stop by after or in between the planned activities and see what the club about.

TEMPLE ISRAEL CONGREGATION CORDIALLY INVITES STUDENTS TO weekend. Don't believe me? Remember Dave Binder? Bob Gamer? Chicago City Limits? Okay, you say, but that was last year. What about this year? Well, have you seen the pictures up around campus this week for Peter Vidmar's presentation this Friday? If you look, you'll notice that this, too, is a Programming-Board sponsored event. It seems that many people would rather stay home than take a risk on an unknown performer. After all, you might say, what if the concert were lousy? Well, if the show turned out to be boring, you wasted a whole hour and a half of your weekend. Not a lot of time, if you think about it. Better than watching Miami Vice reruns, anyway. But if you take a chance on that unknown, that performer you may never have heard of, you just might end up "discovering" someone as talented as Mergott. (You may even good time!)

Albright scored early in the first half but that's all that the Lady Colonels defense would allow. They continually rejected all other attempts at scoring and fed the ball back to the offense. The defense was led by outstanding performances from Kim Cooper, Debbie DeCaesar, and Debbie Marquart. The offense, which dominated the majority of the game, was lead by Petrosky who scored in the first and second half of the game. PARENT•s DAY SPORTING EVENTS • • • • Petrosky was not the only one who played well. Donna Vasquez and Sue Dicton also had exceptional games. Vasquez skillfully moved the ball up the middle of the field. Dicton was able to move the ball up the sidelines.

After last Thursday's tough loss to Messiah, the Colonels had to regroup and prepare themselves for their upcoming test against Division I, undefeated Virginia Tech. The Colonels knew that in order to contain the Virginia Tech attack, they would have to put forth a tremendous effort. The Colonels did jU"St that; both the offense and the defense played well when needed. The defense found themselves under considerable pressure throughout the game. Lenny Rosanoff rose to the occasion and recorded a fine performance, turning away 18 shots on goal. Sean Lockhead also had a pair of goal line saves as he aided in Rosanoffs defense. The Wilke's defense limited the Virginia Tech scoring un til late in the second half. The Colonels were determined to score, and with less than two minutes remaining in regulation.

President Christopher Breiseth and PCOM President Peter Tilley announce the new Wilkes/PCOM program at a press conference earlier this week. Tuesday evening between 11:30 p.m. and midnight, a Wilkes college freshman had her room entered by an unidentified man. The man allegedly, stole a purse from the room. The location of this occurence was on the third floor of Miner Hall. The freshman, whose name was witheld, reported that she had left her room for ten to fifteen minutes to visit friends down the hall. When she left her room, she left the lights and stereo on, and also left her door open. "I was only down the hall, eating a slice of pizza," the student reported. "I was walking back to my room and was only ten feet from my <Joor when a man walked out from inside." "I said , 'Excuse me,' and with- out looking at me the guy brushed past me and said, 'You're excused." I asked him, 'What were you doing in my room?' He replied, Was that your room?' and rounded the comer." The student could not recall if the intruder appeared to be concealing anything, and she admitted she was, "too upset to notice much of anything." The man was described as standini s~ feet tall,-approximatefy 185 pounds, with dirty blonde hair and a scruffy beard. He was wearing blue jeans and a loose flannel shirt. His description did not fit any of the male students living in Miner Hall. Being attached to a YMCA, as well as located near Public Square, Miner Hall is in an area frequented by many people who are homeless. Presidents of the Hall have complained of non-residents in the lobby, as well as on the upper , floors where the dorms are located. The building has two dorm entrances, a main entrance on Franklin St. and a side entrance off of an alley. These entrances are supposed to remain locked in the evening, but according to residents, they are almost always open. The three floors of Miner Hall where theWilkes Dorms are located all have entranceways which are required to be locked at all times. Unfortunately, these doors are often left propped open by the students in the dorms. "It gets to be such a pain to keep having to open the door for somebody's boyfriend, that we just leave it open," one student residing in Miner Hall said.

Beacon at the movies "Dirty Danc_ing" downright disappointing . by John Gordon At first I had no desire to see the film "Dirty Dancing." However, word of mouth quickly changed my mind. Everything I heard about the movie was positive. So I went into the theater with high expectations. Whenever I have high hopes for a motion picture I am usually disappointed. This was no exception. "Dirty Dancing" lacked the pizzazz and flash that I had been told it possessed. The plot to "Dirty Dancing" centers around a young girl with the nickname "Baby," who is played by Jennifer Grey, of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off' fame. She sets out on a summer getaway with her family to a lavish resort. Upon arrival she gets the feeling that its going to be long summer. This is due to the fact that most of the people at the resort are of the older generation. However, she soon comes across a secret dance hideaway which has her type of crowd and tunes. (Speaking of the tunes, the soundtrack for this film is an excellent assortment of hits from the 50's.) When at this secret cove she meets up with every girls heart throb, Patrick "North and South" and "Red Dawn" Swayze, who plays Johnny. When Johnny's usual dance partner (Cynthia Rhodes of "Flashdance" and "StayingAlive") becomessidetracked,Baby steps in and the romance steps up. This storyline is incredibly weak. It is specifically ·geared towards setting up extremely average dance routines between stars Swaze and Grey. The intensity in their dancing is not even close to the caliber of the steps in films like "Flashdance" or "Footloose." Swayze had a few good twists and leaps, but Grey, well, should stick with acting. Even though that leaves a lot to be desired as well. This movie had its moments, but for the most part, "Dirty Dancing" should be swept off the dance floor.

Although there are many instances when opinion must take precedence over logic, in religion for example. We must further develop and understand ·. our brain operations that are so similar to the computer. The mental processes that will be studied in this course include perception, learning, memory, thinking, reasoning, language, understanding, psycholinguistics, symbolism and informationprocessing.

Dr. Joseph H. Kanner will be the instructor of a psychology class in cognition. This course, offered only once before at Wilkes, will now be updated and accessible to non-psychology majors. With a prerequisite of only Psychology 101, Dr. Kanner says that he will be able to give the students a fresh start and present the data. He explained that people are programmed from about the year after they are born by their parents, educational system, and religion and can come into the course with "some fantastic misconceptions."

The student then asked, "How does that make you feel"? and LampeGroh then replied, "Responsible." She said that parents have the responsibility of raising the students and have brought them a long way. "We want them to assume the responsibility for their own destiny." The other person that she spoke to was Peter Vidmar, a gold · medal Olympic champion. LampeGroh said, "I asked him if he knew he was the best. He said, 'It never really dawned on me that I was the best until I won the gold medal.' " Lampe-Groh said that these two people had something in common. One was trying to excel in what she was doing, and the other had already achieved success. She added that she's learned a lot through her job in the three years. Lampe-Groh said she really looked forward to wearing a crazy . hat, as mentioned in a letter sent to · parents about Parent's Day. She decided to wear the outfit during the presentation and donned an outfit of a polka-dot hat, large sunglasses and a polka-dot tie. She told the laughing audience that the clothes were left at the gym from a Halloween party and said she hoped everyone would join in the spirit of celebration.

They were unable to reach their R.A., and they travelled outside the dorm to locate security guards. They met up with a security squad outside the Student Center and made their report. Security was unable to enter Miner, because under the new security system at Wilkes, their squad must have permission to enter from an R.A. in the donn. An-R.A.'s permission was. obtained through the Beacon's offices at 1:00am, and security was able to enter the hall. Security needed no keys to enter the building, as both the front and the side doors were open. The front doors had been propped open. Other doors propped open included the 3rd floor where the incident took place, and the fourth floor mens' door. "All the washing machines are on the third floor, and people normally leave that door propped open so they don't need their keys," one fifth floor resident said. As security entered Miner, the desk clerk from Residence Life who was supposed to be on duty until 4:00am was not present. According to residents, when the clerks are on duty, they rarely check on anyone who may look suspicious, and some clerks have been seen leaving the front door open at night so they don't have to answer it when someone wants to get in. �October 1, 1987 ; PAGE SIX Patty Larkin: Folk music the way • supposed to be it IS Guggenheim, offering a fictio by Lee Morrell · What was that you said? Did you say you loved Ray Owen? You think having Solo-Concert performers on campus is a great idea? You can't wait until the next one? Well, true believer, wait no more, the next one is now upon us. Actually, I made a slight error in my judgement It isn't just any old Solo-Concert performance. No folks this time we are being blessed by the unending talents of Wilkes very own, Jeffrey Eline, who will open for the main event, Patty Larkin. For those of you who remember last year, think back to the Dave Rudolf show. Remember that kid who opened for Rudolf? Remember how good a musician he was? That's Jeff!!! Alright, you say, we now know about Jeff Eline, but who is this Patty Larkin? I'm so glad you asked that Patty Larkin is considered the "new wave of woman folk singer." Patty is a musician who sites her base of operations as "the east coast." She has been in the national spotlight through such music festivals as the Newport Escorts needed! Male Escorts are needed for the annual Marywood College Symphony Ball. The date of the Sem1Formal dance is November 20th, and it will run from 9:00pm to 1:00am. Your date will pay for the ball tickets, which will cover a buffet type meal and music from local Top 40 band, Calibre. Non-serious applicants need not apply! Applications are available in the Residence Life and Student Activities Offices For more information call: Michele Mazak-- 1489-1450 Folk, the Philadelphia Folk, and the National Women's Music Festival. She has also just recently won the prestigious Best Folk Album and Best Folk Artist Awards as chosen by the Boston Folk Music Critics. This is extra impressive when you know that Boston is a national hub for folk music. Her debut album, Philo Record's "Step Into The Light," has also received critical acclaim, and a second release is expected soon. Larkin's music is "acoustic music that integrates contemporary sound with the folk music form." According to the Boston Globe Larkin is "a witty writer, supple singer and solid guitarist, Larkin has long had promise... now (she) is fulfilling that promise and on her own way." The Boston Globe is not the only paper with rave reviews about Larkin. The Washington Post, Boston Phoenix, and the New York Daily News, all had impressive things to say about Larkin.

Chwalek served as coordinator. of the 50th Homecoming Celebration held about two years ago in honor of the class of 1935, the first graduating class. He then brought up the feasibility of constructing a bell tower on campus. Chwalek said he discussed the bell tower idea with Dr. Capin, the third president of Wilkes, at a president's council meeting in November of 1983. According to Chwalek, the council was very· enthusiastic about the idea and Capin agreed to let him raise funds. He then continued to ask for contributions. The majority of the contributions came from Chwalek, Chwalek's friends, Dr. Charles Burns, friends of Bums and the _graduating class of 1970. This money was solicited independently by Chwalek and set aside specifically for the construction of a bell tower. It then became part of the "Wilkes Tommorow" program which commits funds to identified College needs. At least $118,000 of the $150,000 needed for the , belltower has been raised Burns, a long-time resident of W~•oming Valley, took an interest in donating money to the bell tower . after talking to Chwalek. Because of his prominence in this area and contribution to Wilkes, the tower is to be named after him. Bums was the first physician from among the alumni. He is a nationally recognized specialist in urology, a respected community practition_e r and an alumni of the first graduating class of Bucknell Junior College (later Wilkes College). Upon graduation from Bucknell University,BurnsattendedJefferson Medical College in Philadelphia where he earned his Doctor of _Me~.icine degr~ in _the early 40s. , The bell tower and carillon, which Chwalek says will take about 5-6 weeks to construct, is scheduled for dedication on October 24th at 10 am. as part of the 40th Annual Homecoming Celebration. �PAQETIM October 1, 1987 sense, and since I don't really pay Letters tuition to go here (Does anyone ?)

Whoops, we goofed; it's still alive; let's put it back together. No, you can't do that If it was a chance that you took, then you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Lycoming on Behind the passing of Quarterback Todd Coolridge and a blitzing defense that led to numerous Colonel mistakes, the Crusaders of Susquehanna handed the Wilkes College Colonels their first loss of the season. Most of the first quarter was dominated by mistakes for both teams. But at the end of the first quarter Susquehanna put together a drive. The Crusaders drove down to the Colonel four, but the Crusaders had to settle for a John Hall 14-yard field goal. With less than four minutes left in the half the Colonels had their first serious scoring threat. With Carl DeLuca hooking up with his favorite targets, Tony DeGrazia and Ron Ulitchney, the Colonels drove down to the Susquehanna 14 where lhe drive ended with an interception. In the beginning of the second half the Wilkes defense came out and stuffed the Crusaders. The Colonel offense was in great field position at midfield, but a fumble gave the ball , right back to Susquehanna. On the next play Coolidge hooked up with Al Bucci for a 45 yard scoring strike to boost the Crusaders lead to 10-0. Wilkes then had to play catch up and went to the airways. But another turnover gave the Crusaders good field position at the Colonel 14. Coolidge wasted no time in throwing his second touchdown pass of the game as he hit Mark Basilui with a 14 yard scoring strike. Wilkes. then put its first points on the board, DeLuca hit DeGrazia down the middle for a 38-yard touchdown pass. The PAT was wide and the Colonels cut the lead to 17-6 Neither offense was able to generate a drive. With the Colonels in punt formation Punter Harold Magnotta's punt was tipped and the Crusaders were once again deep in ~ _olonel territory. _A few plays la~r Joe Witt ran the ball in from the eipt to give the Crusaders a 24-7 lead.

This made the score 30-6 in faYOr mSusquehanna. 1be Colonies scored their second . touchdown on a 14-yard DeLuca to DeGrazia touchdown pass.

Additionally, there must be five or die College. t Christopher Breiseth more graduate/professional prohe feels the College grams that are not part of the liberal meets the qualifications of arts. Wilkes currently has 10 grad·1y. Breiseth is of the uate programs, and is in the process lha1 Wilkes serves the of creating more. If the committee decides that • a land grant college. the switch would be in the College's best interest, Breiseth will submit his recommendation to the Board of Trustees which has final approval power. If it becomes positive, the College will apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Education to begin the two-year procedure of being granted university status. The Department of Education will form a team of its own officials as well as administration and faculty from other universities in the nation. This group will study many aspects of the College including the curriculum, the graduate program, the financial resources and endowment of the school, and the qualifications of the professors. The change to a university, according to Breiseth, will not entail major physical changes to the College. The value of the change will lie mostly in the strength it will lend to curriculum develop- ment of more vigorous undergraduate and graduate programs. It was noted that the formation of separate schools (for example, the School of Business and Economics) within the College has attracted more people to enroll in the programs. "The growth will not be mainly in size but in strength," said Breiseth. "The college will probably remain around the 3000 total enrollment mark." University status has both advantages and disadvantages for the school. A local newspaper reported that Warren D. Evans, spokesman for the state Department of Education's Office of PostSecondary Education, said that by becoming a university, Wilkes will be able to attract better faculty and will have more success with fund-raising drives than as a college. Breiseth added that the change will cause Wilkes to become better known and thus make its degrees more familiar to employers. On the negative side, alumni may not appreciate the change because it is a changing of their identity. A major change to one's alma mater may disrupt one's loyalty to it. Also, the change will involve reassessing salary differentials and teaching loads among faculty. "The title will still describe our present institution," noted Breiseth. TI_i_e _decision waits on the planning cdl'flmittee's self-study and it's analysis. Breiseth said that alumni opinion as well as opinion on campus will be crucial in the decision-making process. This is not the first name change in the college's history. Originally founded as Bucknell Junior College in 1933, it was rechartered as Wilkes in 1947. • station airs first program by Kim Klimek r rd 1 by Mary lalloy andH led in good spite plaguing mtinues to im for a good vn on Wedo ,ur players (they had .y's game)," , Kelly Cota. 1e team i sday at ty they trav :olonels' n e on Tue SUNY-Bi Wilkes' new closed circuit news station, WCT News, broadcast its first program last g Thursday on the monitors of the ,) Stark Learning Center (SLC) Lobby. q After the monitors were installed in Stark lobby, Jeff Eline, q communications major and television club member, realized that having a news program seen by many flt. ·'•;nts could at last become a reality.

He said the Continued on p. 10 �October 8, 1987 PAGE TWO Letters to the Editor Editorial Wilkes U--top rate or second banana? On Wednesday, September 30, The Times Leader ran a front page story about Wilkes College's drive for university sta~. Although_! _h_ad been perfectly aware that Wilkes had been investigat:mg the po~sibility of establishing this status, the idea had all but faded from my mmd, and seemingly from the College's mind as well. Then, almost out o_f the blue, nearly two years after the possibility was first discussed, Wilkes' desire for university status is front-page news. Certainly the possiblity of Wilkes' achieving university status is reasonable. After all, research and development is necessary if we are to improve the quality of the College. However, after evalu~ting _the facts, one may come to the conclusion that the change to university status may be a bit premature, even unnecessary. What do you think of when you hear the wor~ ~VER~ITY? Generally, I think of a large school with high-tech fa_ciliues, c~tenng to an almost mass-production of students. Although Wilkes certainly may have a new-and-improved gym and increased enrollment, it hardly meets these qualifications. If Wilkes is to be called a university, and tai:en seriously in that form, it must first be able to live up to the presuge associated with a university. According to the President, the value of this change will lie mostly in the strength it will lend to curriculum development in the form _of more vigorous undergraduate and graduate programs. The problem with this change lies in the fact that the school would rank lower than ot~er universities on listings of endowment, enrollment, and faculty salanes, should the name be changed. If Wilkes College is intent on becoming Wilkes University, then its direction is clear. It must and should make a concentrated effort to raise the salaries of the faculty and to change and improve programs to increase enrollment further. True the fictional Wilkes U would most likely be unable to compete ~ith the larger, more prestigious universities. If thi_s is ~he case Wilkes should not focus upon becoming a second-rate University, but ;ather a top-rate College. After all, if Wilkes puts effort into raising faculty salaries, hiring full-time faculty as needed, developing programs, and adding a variety of new courses--if, in other words, the College would focus on improving what it already does have--the name change would be unnecessary. The President has said that the change to university status would merely be a matter of changing the stationery and engraving the signs. If this is all that the change really amounts to, then why bother? If Wilkes is still intent on acquiring university status, it may realistically take years before the school is taken seriously. It should be stressed that it may be a while before people, especially graduates, can say "Wilkes University," without at least choking back a snicker. Yes, the word "university" may inspire more quality students to come here. I'm all for that ideal. However, instead of changing a name (isn't this a school hell-bent on preserving tradition?), why not -:vork from the inside out? Inspire quality students to come to W 1lkes College. The Beacon VOL.

As I read The Beacon and listen to the conversations on campus, I think it might be helpful to answer that question, particularly as it relates to the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign. Capital fund-raising campaigns are waged periodically in the life of colleges to strengthen the overall financial condition of the institution (usually by building the endowment) and to help fund major plant and equipment projects judged to be critical to the improvement of the college. Those individuals and institutions closest to the college are approached, with a carefully developed proposal, and asked to consider making a major gift. Unlike the annual giving campaign, which seeks relatively modest contributions from the annual income of our friends (alumni, community supporters, businesses, and parents) to help meet general operating expenses, a capital campaign asks such supporters to consider major gifts from their capital. Typically, such gifts are paid over several years and may include stocks or property or be in the form of bequests worked out between the college and the giver. Anyone watching the financing of higher education in America knows that successful capital campaigns are crucial to the growth and continued progress of a college or university, whether private or public. Wilkes last had a major capital campaign, the Alpha Campaign, in the late 1970s. A smaller campaign was held to build the new dormitory in the early 1980s. That building became known as Evans Hall to commemorate the generous bequest to Wilkes of $600,000 from the late William Evans. The present WILKES TOMORROW Campaign to raise $18,000,000 officially began . January 1, 1985, and will run through 1990, perhaps a bit beyond. The major objectives are divided into two parts: (a) Capital ($8,000,000) and (b) Operating ($10,000,000). The Operating portion includes foundation and government grants for specific programs and the annual fund-raising campaign, amounting to $2,000,000 each year to enhance our programs. The Capital portion includes $5,500,000 for the new Sports and Conference Center and $2,500,000 to build the endowment to enhance faculty salaries and increase income for scholarship and student aid. At present we have raised $4,343,474 towards the Capital portion ($2,345,455 for plant and equipment and $1,998,019 for other academic endowment purposes) and $4,529,342 towards the Operating portion. Thus we are (8,872,816) to the goal ($18,000,000) which I am confident we will exceed. We are in the process of matching the names of major contributors to particular objectives, including naming portions of the Sports and Conference Center. The amounts needed to name specific facilities are listed in the official pr_esentation of the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign, "The Case Statement," which is available in the College Advancement Office. During the past two and a half years, specific objectives for giving have emerged as we have talked with potential contributors. Some involve endowing the maintenance of particular buildings, others include named endowments for faculty salaries ("The Donald F. Carpenter Endowment for Outstanding Teaching'') and for student scholarships ("The Jewelcor Scholarship").The capital campaign is an effort to involve more and more people with the building of Wilkes College. Individual contributors' interests and institutional needs are matched as people talk with each other about support for thr campaign. Enter the new Bell Tower. As the last edition of The Beacon accurately reported in its front page news story, the idea for such a structure has been talked about and planned as has been the idea for an expanded gymnasium· for more than two decades. As the idea surfaced again during my first year at Wilkes, we explored how we might achieve the objective as part of our overall space planning and campus development.

Charity and enriches the But the long run solution is far more complex. The reasons for national poverty vary widely, ranging from the whims of cruel nature to the ageold habits and customs of a society. A monsoon may fail, and lack of life-giving rain may bring season of hunger. A society may destroy its own environment, by the overgrazing of a pastoral people or the scourging of the countryside in the quest for wood for cooking fires. In some instances, the society may be such that production is discouraged . and hunger may abound even in a richly endowed land. In the short run we can, and should, help by sharing our abundance. But in the long run, a society must produce enough to feed itself. This production can be in food, or in products which can be sold for food. The only alternative is perpetual, bitter, resentful dependence--a fate we should wish on no one. My hope, as I left the Hunger Banquet, was that not only compassion but an intellectual curiosity would be aroused. I hope that students asked themselves, "Why are some societies h\ghly productive, and others not? Will taking from the wealthy enrich the poor or will it impoverish ail? How can a land with the skimpiest of resources (Japan) be wealthy while other lands, well endowed by nature, are poor?" I hope that, beyond an opportunity for compassion, students seize the chance to enlarge their knowledge and understanding. One of the greatest gifts of education is the broadening of awareness. I hope that students turn with renewed vigor and enthusiasm to their courses in history, economics, psychology, anthropology. It is among these that the students will find some of the reasons and even a few tentative solutions. I hope also that they will take tlle time to talk to those among us from other parts of the world and other cultures. There is much to be learned, for those who wish to do so. Pawn in their i:ame R.H. DeYoung Response Dear Editor: It is difficult to write criticism in a way that is affirming, yet effective. It takes a great deal of thought and effort, and requires the critic offer useful solutions as a part of the criticism. My article of September 24 was written in that spirit. Therefore, it was with distress that I read the unsigned letter to the Editor of October 1, which contained foul accusations, bordering on character assassination. When one does not have the ,viscera to take credit for written words, writing scatlling criticism is easy. There was once a high school Problems of Democracy teacher who said, "An unsigned opinion is no opinion at all." I challenge you, "Name Withheld" and all others who refuse to author your words, to come forth and identify yourselves. Perhaps your pen would not be so heavy, your words have more thought behind them, and your crticism invite spirited dialogue. The result might be a broader effort to work together to solve issues of -concern at Wilkes College. Marsha Howes Please note: All letters to the Editor must be signed to insure validity.

He is also a the Programming Board and presides over DDE meetings. "Sic transit gloria mundi." Manuscript Society spo,n sors events by Eddie Lupico The Wilkes College Manuscript Society, a student organization advised by Dr. Patricia Heaman of the Department of Language and Literature, sponsors three big events each year: coffeehouses, creative writing workshops, and an annual publication. The Manuscript is a magazine comprised of art work--both visual and literary--contributed by members of the Wilkes community. It is published and distributed near the end of each spring semester. Preparation for such an endeavor is essential, and that is why the society has already begun to convene. Members of the group will review · all submissions anonymously and select those which are felt to be of the best artistic quality and style. Everyone from the college is urged to submit their work for possible publication. Contributions of all kinds are welcome. The most common categories are art, photography, prose, and poetry, however all mediums of artistic expression will be accepted. The Society also sponsors creative writing workshops every Monday evening at 9:00 in the Manuscript Office on the third floor of the Student Center. During these informal sessions, which are run by the participants, students are able to read their work, discuss it constructively, and write creatively. Participation is voluntary, and all interested students are welcome to attend. Coffeehouses are informal gatherings held periodically by the Society geared more toward an audience - performer atmosphere. Students are able to read their work or read the work of others, or just attend to listen to the presentation. The Manuscript Society is the main group on campus for students interested in creative writing. Opinion World hunger by Lenny Skursky To understand world hunger, you must realize when it began. 10,000 years ago, homo sapiens (man) were basically hunters and gatherers. If you could pick it or kill it, you could eat it. This was a hit or miss situation. You either knew where the f6od grew or where the herd hung out or you didn't. Man alleviated hunger by following seasonal changes. and herd migrations. Around 7,000 years ago some of these migrating tribes found areas where game was plentiful all year round. Water and edible vegetation was in abundance, more permanent settlements were established. Over the next millenia, someone came up with the idea of planting crops and keeping livestock. Those that still hunted and gathered lived by the crops and livestock. Eventually, trouble arose from the continued use of this method. As the area's supply of food resources dwindled, the hunting and gathering method became a major economic problem. To protect the food, bigger walls were built for protection in towns and security patrols had to compete with a larger bands of thieves, until someone came up with a unique idea. A pact. was formed between the local rustlers and town members--we grow the food for both of us and you protect us from other bands. This developed the first militarybased industrial complex (no relation to today's) and it worked fine until the population grew larger than its food resources. The band became the army and the town developed into a capital city. Wars - an historical over the neighboring town's resources grew commonplace. This trend continued to expand. Minerals, land, geographic position and other desired items were added to the list of resources fought over. The problems of feeding larger populations and greed became secondary factors which led to wars. All through history, pacts of different ideology covered larger and larger areas until empires were established in this manner. The concept of subservient foreign populations grew and a new military-industrial complex was formed. The idea was "you grow the food to feed my armies so I can take more land and maybe I won't kill you." Unfortunately for the third world, Europe became the best at this form of existence and had the technology to enforce it around the world. Mostly "colored peoples" became the subservient masses, while the Europeans lived in luxury and basked in the labor of the whole planet This continued with very little change or challenge until today. But within the last 100 years, something dangerous has been added to the formula--education. Before the 19th century, education was only for the rulers. Those under the ruler's jurisdiction were kept in total ignorance. The majority of people in the first world were allowed to learn in the last 150 years. They saw injustice and all its attributes: hunger, poverty, disease and other social problems. A new form of people arose during this time: the do gooder.

Last Wednesday, SG granted a $216.60 request for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to cover accommodations and travel expenses for seven members to attend the technical conference at Drexel University on October IO, 11 and 12. The funds for granting this request came from ICCF (Intercollegiate Conference Fund) and various clubs. The Cue'n Curtain club received $250 from the the Special Projects Fund to honor retired professor Klaus Holm by an exhibit at the Sordoni Art Gallery and by establishing a scholarship in his name. SG granted $190 to the TV Club to cover expenses for a TV newscast that broadcasts weekly on the TV monitors in the Stark Learning Center Lobby beginning last Thursday. The fund for this project came from various clubs. The Rowing Club presented their revised and expanded constitution which was approved at last week's SG meeting. The Wilkes Cheerleaders received a $250 fund request for a bus to the away game at Upsula this weekend. Eight cheerleaders will be going, and seating space is available for students wishing to travel to the game. In other business, the Governmental Affairs Committee of SG met Sunday evening and decided to declare Sophomore class representatives elections invalid. According to Debbie Reisenweaver, SG secretary, the electio'n committee found that four of the six candidates had violated campaign rules. She said that the SG members found mimeographed copies used for campaign purposes and a painting done on a window at Weiss Hall. These violators will not be able to run again until next year. The other two nominees who did not break rules will be allowed to run again when elections are reheld in late October with the Freshman class elections. The entire Student Government endorsed this decision. Dean Paul Adams asked SG members to encourage students to vote in the student elections. He recommended that dorm students vote in the IRHC election, since this election will effect the quality of their dorm life. Adams also announced that beginning Thursday, October I, Who's Who applications were available in the Deans' offices. He said that seniors may nominate themselves or other seniors and that the selection will take place in November.

This series, called "Campus Leaders," is an attempt to introduce the leaders of Wilkes College clubs and organizations to the rest of the Wilkes community. These leaders give of their personal time to enhance the quality of extra- curricular activities here at Wilkes. This feature will continue to be run and will appear bi-weekly. T&e first "Campus Leader" that we will focus on is the Student Government President, John Rosania. John is a junior earth and environmental science major from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. John made his way up to president from his beginnings as the freshman representitive and sophomore treasurer positions. In fact, he never intended to run for president. He said about that, "My peers felt I could do a good job." He continued by saying, "In order to get things done on campus, I took the responsibilities myself, along with the other members of the Executive Council (Susan Imboden, vice-president; Terry Rebarchek, treasurer; Debbie Reisenweaver, recording secretary; and Linda Sabrini, corresponding secretary) and the rest of Student Government." Pictured above are the members of Wilkes College Circle K who participated in a volleyball marathon to AIDS research. They managed to raise over $200. The marathon ran from Friday, September 18th at 9p Saturday the 19th at 9 a.m. Some of the campus clubs and organizations that participated were the Students Coalition, Student Government, Commuter Council, the Physics club, and the Socology club members from the Luzerne County Community College and Penn State- W.B.

Some of the main concerns of SG are the elections for Homecoming Court, class officers (more specifically the freshman class), and the already completed elections for president of Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council. They also are in charge of allocating funds to clubs and organizations who need money. More important than that is the work they are doing on Homecoming Weekend. They are pla~ning all of the festivities that involve students. Rosania said he would like Student Government to live up to its potential. He said they are "trying to become the main student governing organization on campus." He said they are going to try to be "issue oriented." When asked what being a "campus leader" means to him, Rosania said, "It means I can work together with other students and organizations on issues, problems, and concerns that we can discuss and come up with solutions in order to make Wilkes a better place to be." Although his future is unclear, John Rosania would like to go to graduate school and study oceanography. The Student Government meets once a week at 6:30 p.m. in the Weckesser Conference room and Rosania invites anybody to attend and learn more about their college. John Rosania is just one of our school's many fine leaders. Stay tuned to "Campus Leaders" because you may learn that the person who sits next to you in Anthro. 101 just might be the leader of a club for you. On May 25, 1987, The New Yorker Magazine featured an article entitled, "Whatever Happened to Mel Powell," the legendary composer/ performer who has made history in the worlds of both jazz and classical music. On Saturday, October 10, at 2 p.m., audiences at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center will be able to answer that question, when Powell visits the College to provide a unique concert_ experience. The concert, entitled "The Artistry of Mel Powell" will make music history itself, for while it will showcase the artist's classical achievements, Powell himself will also present a rare public jazz performance. The event is offered to the public at no charge. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1923, Powell made his mark on the jazz world at an early age. His childhood piano training stressed the dassical, but Powell began to branch out into jazz improvisation on his own. By 1939, he had played with many jazz greats, and at age eighteen, he caught the attention of Benny Goodman. He soon became part of the legendary Benny Goodman Orchestra, recording his own compositions with the orchestra. In addition,- Powell himself recorded on the Commodore label. In World War II, he played in and later directed the Glenn Miller Army/ Air Force Band. During that time, he established a reputation abroad that rivalled that of Miller, and still stands today. Following the war, he returned to Goodman's orchestra as composer, arranger and performer. But in the late 1940's, Powell left the jazz world for what would prove to be an equally illustrious classical career. For a short time, he served as a staff composer at MGM in Hollywood. Then, he began to study at Yale under classical composer Paul Hindemith. He rapidly succeeded to the faculty of that institution, and from 1958 to 1969 served as Chairman of Yale's Composition Department. Powell left Yale in 1969 to become Dean of Music at the California Institution of the Arts (Cal Arts). From 1972 to 1976, he held the position of Provost at Cal Arts, and is currently Roy Disney Professor of Musical Composition there. "The Artistry of Mel Powell" at Wilkes will highlight Powell's classical and jazz peDIOnalities by presenting his classical work in the first half of his program, and his jazz stylings in the second half.

There's no Bell Tower coming. No -way. That's just a ruse the Administration is feeding us to get some bucks from the Alumni. But that hole is going in for a reason and I mean to get to the bottom of it. The reason, that is, not the hole. Now, to dispel some of the freshman rumors, Wilkes is not building an Olympic size swimming pool. Not this year. And no, no one has threatened the Colonels with mass burial. Not at this writing. The Historical Society is not looking for Indian bones and relics, although they just might find them. Nobody's out to sample the mud or search for a long lost coal mine. They're not measuring the earth's crust, as Dr. Redmond might have us believe, nor are they digging a tunnel to China. No matter what anyone in the Engineering Department tells you to the contrary, they are not building a drain to run off the River Street flooding (which would be • ID one? nice) nor has anyone seriously suggested building an even bigger Peace Pole. Well, it's been suggested, but not for this hoie. And although they did ask for dibs just in case it should be located, the English Department is not actively searching for Mrs. Kirby's strongbox, to defray the expense of all those famous writers they're bringing in this semester. None of these rumors, you'll be happy to know, is true. But I've done some digging into that hole and I'm here to fill you in. I've had my ear to the ground and I know some real inside dirt about that hole. I've unearthed some facts. The only rumor about that hole that holds any water, as it were, is this: Wilkes College has finally found a new location to bury the bookstore! If this is true, imagine how convenient it will be to tunnel down into an underground bookstore that's so much easier to locate than our present one. Why, anyone on their wa:: from Pickering to Stark will be &Jle to literally stumble upon it. Think how much simpler it will be to spend our money on overpriced text books, sweatshirts and pens when we can just fall right into the b00ksture on our way to class and back. No more seeking out seniors to ask that painful question: "Hey, you got any idea where the bookstore is located?" And then that awful moment when they tell you and you are standing there thinking "Yeah, sure, buddy, the same to you." So why all this stuff about a Bell Tower, that's what I want to know. I mean, who would believe it? What do we need bells for when all the clocks in Stark Leaming Center keep such perfect time? No, the Administration is clearly trying to put one over on us. Sure, now they're filling in the hole with cement and dragging out cinderblocks, but who are they fooling? We know what we know. They finally issue a little pencil sketch of a supposed Bell Tower and expect us to buy it?? Uh-huh. Sure. Somehow it just doesn't "ring" true. Personally, I think they really are looking for Mrs. Kirby's strongbox. This Infernal Tower thing is probably just a red herring. Maybe they think we don't even know the difference between a Bell Tower and, say, a hole in the ground. Frankly, if they have enough money laying around to afford a Bell Tower, (beautiful as it will be), wouldn't it be better spent on a pedestrian bridge across River and South Streets? Or at least a "Walk" light? Perhaps then we might save a few lives in the process, instead of just wondering for whom this new Bell Tower may toll. Beacon at the movies Like Father Like Son like hilarious by John Gordon Dudley Moore is an incredible comedic actor whose talents compete with other major comedians as Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. Moore is one of America's most loved entertainers on the big screen today. "Like Father, Like Son," will keep you rolling in laughter from the beginning of the film to the end. Moore's antics are better than ever, similar to the antidote that worked so well for him in the hit movie "Arthur." Kirk Cameron, of the popular television series "Growing Pains," turns in a very credible performance as Moore's son Chris, or as the case in this movie, maybe, as his father. In "Like Father, Like Son," Dudley Moore's character acciden- tally drinks a potion that causes his personality to reverse with that of his son's. This forces him to go to school in place of Chris. Meanwhile, Cameron goes to make rounds at his father's hospitai. From there the laughs pour in at a rapid pace. For instance, Dudley smashes up his son's jeep, or his own jeep, or Cameron's jeep, well you figure it out! Cameron and Moore mimick each other in perfect detail. How can I tell? Here's what I do. Simply put Kirk Cameron's image in your mind when watching Moore, and you'll get the feeling of how good the acting really is. It's a shame that there isn't an Academy A ward for best comedic actor! Dudley Moore would be one of the top candidates for the honor. Everything clicks in "Like Father, Like Son." The acting, the laughs, the camera work, and an excellent soundtrack contribute tc this film to give it incredible flash.

Alumnus perfor Tchaikovsky By Korrie Anne Everett Last evening, at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, Peter Illych Tchaikovsky was brought to life for us for two hours by Joseph Szostak, the creator of "Petya." "Petya" was originally completed in 1982 and than rewritten after further research and the 1987 version (performed at Wilkes College) is the result of this research. Joseph Szostak ,a graduate of Wilkes College, held a workshop in the afternoon to explain his characterization of Petya and the work behind the performance; the research and the rehearsals. · The monodrama traces Tchaikovsky's life through the use of the composer as a narrator.

Well, if you were at the Student Center last Saturday night, you already know the answer to that question. If you weren't, you missed much.

From his renditions of James Taylor's "Sugar Cane:· and The- Who's rockin' "Behind Blue Eyes" to several original pieces, Jeff demonstrated both outstanding · musicianship and a sensitive touch with his lyrics. Jeff, we hope you'll come back from London to do a few more songs for us! After Jeff got the crowd in a folky mood, Patty came on stage to a candlelit room and expectant faces and proved that she more than deserved Boston's Best Folk Artist and Album Awards. During her two-hour concert, Patty performed all original songs from her two albums, I'm Fine and Step Into the Light --songs that were not only lyrical gems, but also fine musical vignettes. As one of Patty's songs asserts, that's "not bad--for a broad." From ballads to "cheap theatrics," Patty proved over and over again why folk music is enjoying a resurgence. Her songs demonstrated a care and ease with the English language reminiscent of some of the great folk lyricists of the past-and present.

Tavaglione's mirrored the die entire Colonel's stage for the Colonels' successful weekend. The Wilkes soccer team endured two goals which were played back to back as they defeated Lycoming College, Saturday and Elmire College on Sunday. Saturday's game was played in spite of adverse weather conditions. Heavy rain soaked the pitch, forcing the Colonels to play a short passing game. The Colonels limited their touches on the ball as they passed quickly and accurately around Lycoming. This style of play worked perfectly, as the opposing team tried desperately to recover the ball. Gerard Piazza initiated the scoring for the Colonels as he cracked a high shot from twenty yards out His shot sailed over the goalkeeper's hands and dropped under the crossbar, giving the Colonels an early lead. The Colonels were up 1-0; then it was "Chooch's" tum. The Senior/Captain owned the left side of the oal, as he beat the Lycoming keeper twice on that side. The latter of the two goals was set up beautifully as a backheel pass from Piazza. The ball squirted through the defense and found Tavaglione as he darted toward the goal area. The crossbar and a heartfilled effort by Chris Shenefield put the icing on the cake for the Colonels. Shenefield followed in his own shot and finished off the scoring as Wilkes enjoyed a 4-2 victory. Sunda 's scoreline was not as bountiful as Saturday's, but the result remained the same. Mike Lenczycki scored the lone goal off an Andy Renner assist. Renner penetrated the Blmira defense and somehow managed to pass the ball to Lenczycki who then walloped a net-stretcher from close range. The Wilkes Colonel's record is 6-2-1.

This was due to the efforts of Kim Cooper, Debbi DeCeasar, Debbie Marquart an Jane Zeller. Saturday's game agains Westley proved to be the most exciting game of the season thus far. Wilkes came out onto the field ready to play, and play they would. The first half began with Wilkes taking the ball down the field and continually applying pressure to the goal. The lady stickers took shot after shot after shot until Vasquez finally scored. Marquart was credited with the assist. Wandel would bring the score to 2-0 when she hit a rocket into the back of the goal. The second half proved to be in Westley's favor, as they tied the game at 2-2 to send it into overtime. The Wilkes offense dominated the overtime period. With only seconds left the Lady Colonels were awarded a penalty f1ick. Wandel would take it only to get shut down by the goalie. The game then went into double overtime. In the second overtime Wilkes came out determined. The offense showed patience as they looked for a hole in the defense. With one minute left in the period they would find that hole. Martina Petrosky took a pass from Wandel to score the winning goal. This was an impressive victory for Wilkes. The defense also deserved credit for the win. In both overtime periods the defense only allowed Westley to cross midfield twice. The entire defense played with determination. Outstanding performances were given by Alisa Geller, Marquart, DeCeasar, Cooper and Zeller.

The team score wasn't very encouraging since it was a 23-36 loss. The individual achievements, however, were impressive as all members improved upon their previous times. In the men's race Tom Urso won in a battle to the finish. He edged out his opponentby a mere stride. He recorded a time of 28:26 which is a two minute imp- rovement from his last course. John Kline was next for the team in fifth place as he too improved his time by almost three minutes with a 30:4 7 finish. The third Colonel was Doug Lane in seventh place with a time of 31 :07. 'Fhis was a minute better than his last time. In 11th place was Tom Denne, who improved upon his best time by two minutes with a time of 32:00. Closely behind him was Pete Huber in 13th place with 32:39 time. Huber knocked 30 seconds off his best time. For the Lady Colonels Linda Siberini won the race, completing the course. in 20:13. With this time she set a new course record. Siberini finished ahead of the next place finisher by over two minutes. The personal achievements in this meet will be very encouraging to all team members as they travel to the Dickison Invitational on Saturday October 10. One unfortunate note about this week is that Paul Miorelli was put on the injured list with tendonitis. Hopefully he will be back running soon and healthy for the Homecoming meet.

Behind a punishing defense, and a blocked punt by Jim Pyrah the Colonels notched their third victory of the season. Moravian enjoyed good field posistion the entire contest, but it was big plays by the Colonel defensive unit that kept Moravian off the scoreboard. Moravian was inside the Colonel 10 on two different occassions. The frrst time a four yard sack by linebacker Steve Tehansky forced Moravian to try for a 24 yard field goal which was wide. The second time the Hounds were inside the Colonel 10 all they could do is go backwards on a fourth and goal from the six. Linebacker Roger Morgans stuffed an option try to hault any chance for a Moravian score. The big play of the game was Pyrah's blocked punt. With Moravian punting deep out of their own territory Pyrah bust through the Moravian line, blocked the punt, and caught the ball in midair to score on a five yard run. Shawn Meagly's PAT was good and the Colonels held a slim 7-0 lead at the half. In the second half the Colonel offense had two drives haulted by turnovers.

He said that in response to the recommendation made by the Surgeon General, he is in favor of condom distribution. Although condoms are only 70% effective, he said that this is higher than any other preventative method except sexual abstinence (which students should also be considering as an alternative).

In other business, SG Miner ID security has been notified that in situations concerning the health or well-being of a student, college security is permitted to enter a dorm without the presence of a resident assist.ant. In addition, student desk guards in Miner Hall were given a review of college policies concerning guard responsibilities and informed that persons who neglect that duty will be dismissed. The same holds true for desk guards at Evans and Pickering Halls. The RA's in Miner have said that there has been a sudden and noticeable change in the attitude of residents within the hall. The main hall doors on the 3rd and 5th floor are now kept locked at all times. These are the female floors, and one RA said that the girls are afraid and she understands why. The Miner Hall incedent will, hopefully, serve as a good reminder that dorms are only as safe as the residents make them. In this is-iue. .

This program is designed to give the student body a chance to meet and talk with the President in an informal atmosphere. If there are any rare opportunities that we, as students, should take advantage of during our college career, this is one of them. When one stops to consider the rash of changes that have been occurring around campus with little or no forewarning given to the student body by the administration, this chance to talk with the President may very well enable students to become educated about issues before they become issues. Many times, students are kept in the dark about many vital issues-whether intentionally 01: _not. Perhaps most notable are the controversies currently surrounding university status and the core curriculum. The average student at Wilkes rarely gets to have his or her opinion considered until it is too late to be helpful. And although there are student representatives on several academic committees, the same few students seem always to be involved, leaving most students without a voice in campus affairs. I commend the President for giving the students the chance to talk to him, to express their views, and to give him their input. Communication lines must be kept open. However, the opportunity will be lost if students do not show up. Last year, attendance was lower than it should have been. This year, students should make the effort to attend--and to attend informed. The better prepared the students are to express their views, the more inclined the President will be to take those views seriously. Granted, the President does not have to listen to these suggestions, or even to use them. But when decisions are made on campus, at least the President will realize that the students are interested and that if the College makes a decision contrary to student opinion, it may be taking a chance on adverse student reaction. It seems that some administrators do not believe that the students want to be involved in decision-making. I maintain that this is not the case. The recent bell tower issue illustrates this. It seems to have been a long time since anything sparked as much concern among students as this issue did. Had the students been consulted before construction began, perhaps these concerns could have been raised before it was too late for students to do anything but complain. The bell tower is a current problem, but some issues under consideration, although not affecting current students, will have an impact on future Wilkes sLUdents. We should care not only about what goes on while we're here but also about the far-reaching implications of any current decision. Sure, it may not matter what the core curriculum is now; it will not change for us. But what about academic quality for future students? We have to be concerned beyond the here and now. Sure, a ten-minute meeting with the President is not going to change the College overnight--it may not even change it at all-- but we owe it to ourselves and to the quality of Wilkes College at least to try. signed my name. Withholding it just detracts ' from the credibility. I still, however, stand firm on my opinions. ·Crop Walk Dear Editor: On Sunday, October 11, I was privileged to help at the Crop Walk.

Evers I never thought I'd say this, but it looks as if the construction of the belltower might be worth the money spent on that magnificent edifice. What, you say, have I lost my mind? A six-foot wide, 60-foot high structure that, in my mind at least, is vaguely reminiscent of a giant, musical popsicle stick, a worthwhile investment? Sure. See, I think I've finally figured out the true reason behind its conception. Don't let them fool you. It's not a memorial to honor a distinguished alumnus. It's not part of the campus beautification drive. And it's not even meant as a distraction to draw our attention away from the fact that the old gym's still standing--intact. It's the College's latest weapon in the fight to get students more involved with their College. A weapon against apathy (if I dare say the word).

Walk benefits hungry and by Kim Klimek , On Sunday afternoon, over 300 people gathered in Kirby Park to participate in the CROP (Cristian Rural Oversees Program) Walk. It was a damp 40 degrees and a slight rain penetrated the clothing of the participants. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, most people participating in the 10 kilometer (or 6.2 miles) Crop Walk were in cheerful spirits. Many talked and sang songs along the way. President Christopher Breiseth welcomes all members of the student body to attend his informal, informative "Meet the Prez" sessions. Th~ first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at 4 pm m Stark Lounge. These meetings were started last year to allow students to share their views and opinions with the administration. All students are encouraged to attend to discuss topics of interest or controversy affecting the Wilkes community. This is probably the best opportunity to casually address campus concerns and receive responses and/or alternative views from the President. A total of 27 students from Wilkes College made up the largest single contingent of Crop walkers, according to Tony Vento, campus minister. Wilkes College President Christopher Breiseth said he was present at the beginning of the event and pleased with the number of students who participated. He feels many students liked the CROP Walk because they did not have to identify with a particular Beacon opinion poll-condoms in · machines? by Kim Klimek The Beacon conducted a recent informal (random) opinion poll on installing vending machines for condoms on campus. The questions asked were What do you think about installing new vending machines for condoms? Would you be for it or against it? and Why? Lisa Kalinoski, sophomore International Studies major, said she was in favor of the idea. She said, "There should be an option for someone who wants to use it." Susan Harris, freshman, said, "Its a good idea - to prevent pregnancies." Douglas DeGroote, Junior Electrical Engineering major, said he had no opinion but "It seems like there could be qther places for them." Paula Cahill, freshman SpeechPathology major, approved of the decision. She said,"Its a good idea to have it in the school." Mark Palanchi, sophomore Political Science .major, was for it. He said, "With all the diseases going around - like AIDS, it is a good idea and it is better for preventing pregnancy. Maybe they'll just run down and get them (condoms) if they need them." Phil Montuori, freshman computer science major said, "It doesn't matter to me either way." Linda Hoyson, sophomore Psychology. major said, "In the dorms - yes - (and) somewhere inconspicuous so they wouldn't have to worry. Ron Miller, sophomore Computer Information Sciences major, said he was in favor of the installation "to save the embarassment lots of guys have. In the store, getting embarrassed is more of a possibility. If they use them more, maybe things like AIDS and the pregnancy rate will go down. " Robby Peterson, bookstore attendant, said "I don't really think .it makes any difference. I think they can get them anywhere. I believe the reason they put them on campus i:; to prevent the spread of AIDS rather than birth control." Joe Kanner, Director of Testing Services, said "Neither. Its a question of where you need them. If a student can't walk to the bookstore, he shouldn't be able to get the protection on campus. Franck Darte, Education professor said, "Its fine. They sell them everyplace else. They're helpful - for the health." Jamal Ghoreishi, Assistant Engineering professor, said he was against it He said, "I think morally its wrong. We are not in the business of selling condoms here, but teaching them. There are much more important things to pay attention to." · "Gayle Nieczykowsky of the Nursing department said she's in favor of putting the machines in. She said, "With all of the talk of disease today, I think they (students) should have access. Some peole cannot talk to their parents about it" Dorothy Schlingman from the History and Political Science and the Speech, Communications and Theater Arts departments, said she was in favor of putting them in for protection purposes . Theresa Rudolph of· the Music department said she was against it. "I don't think it should be on campus in vending machines. I'm against extramarital sex. If you put in that stuff, it makes it easier for the students. I don't think its that much of a protection (condoms) against AIDS. I did see somewhere that they are not all that effective. Christopher Hall, Language and Literature professor, said he was in favor of installing the special machines. He said, "I think it could help prevent the spread of AIDS. Its the sensible thing to do to promote safe sex." , world homele college group. He said he realizes that it is not easy for most college students to think about those less fortunate when they are concentrating on expanding their individual freedoms. According to Breiseth, the experince of working with others instead of working alone can also be fun and rewarding. He said, "If you have 50 people who really care about what they are doing or even 10 who are determined, that's all it would take to mobilize this campus." Gladys deLeon, student, said she thought the CROP Walk was very successful. She said, "I thought it was worth it. It was 6.2 miles and it didn't seem that, even if it was raining. A lot showed up from the community--lots of highschools, churches, colleges. It was really good that despite the bad weather, a lot of people showed up anyway. Joe Iannuzzi, student, said the walk brought him a greater awareness of world hunger. He said cause because it was could do to help ~ Iannuzzi said "if, as the says, we're all equal, must be wrong.

They provide a break discarded catalogs into the trash can between reading 'The Prince" and before the garbage men drove up my street. The garbage men used to eagerly grab any and all trash set along the curb; that was before the landfill cns1s. Now, they grudgingly take ,only four bags, charging twenty dollars per week-the quarterly price one year ago. Unable to risk hostile looks and words.I decided to put the trash bag filled with discarded .catalogs aside until next week, especially as it was number five. Carrying the heavy trash bag, I recalled reading in U.S. News and World Report, that "each household in the U.S. chums out a ton of trash a year." Catalogs continue to add to the average household trash output. What is to be done to avert a garbage crisis that threatens to overwhelm citizens and communities around the country? In August, I sent postcards to thirty catalog companies asking them to remove my name from their mailing lists. Two months later my mailbox continues to be overloaded with catalogs. It is time catalog companies do their part in the trash crisis. Stop sending all those catalogs!

Powell complimented them by saying that "every serious twentieth century composer dreams of having the "Composer's String Quartet" perform his works." Before the actual performance of the quartet, Powell had each member play a small portion of the opening. the piece was made up of four individual parts, that were separate entities in themselves, but when they were put together, they meshed into a complete work of genius. It started as a mass of intricate rhythms and tapered to unison lines with a short restatement of the opening into the ending of one solitary note on the first violin. It was an excellent way to spend an afternoon and a real treat fot those who attended. '' R.E.M.arkable '' Powell at Sordoni by Spike and Randy This week's album review is a long awaited release by R.E.M.: their new album "Document" on I.R.S. records. R.E.M.'s last album "Life's Rich Pagent" brought the group a lot of well deserved airplay even on mainstream rock stations. I (Spike) was anxious to see if the group would keep a succes&[ul commercial sound or return to an earliersound. I(Randy)encouraged Spike to listen to the album, and I assured Spike that the album was not commercial but a true R.E.M. sound. The American release, "The One I Love" has a pop sounding twist to it, but don't fret, that single doesn't represent the whole album. In fact, in the U.K., where the sound R.E.M. speaks for itself, a different single, "It's The End of the World As We Know It (But I As part of the "Celebration of Music and Art III," the Sordoni Art Gallery of Wilkes College opened an exhibit entitled, "Mel Powell: Watercolors" at 1 p.m., Sunday, October 11.

The exhibit will remain in the Gallery through Sunday, November 8, and is open to the public, free of charge.

Also, look for "Strange" which is a song by the group "Wire" that was covered frequently on the "Life's Rich Pagent" tour. I (Spike), at first, was apprehensive about the album, but only one listen to it completely swayed my outlook and I must rate this album first rate. I (Randy) simply see "Document" as a truly R.E.M.arkable album! R.E.M. is currently on tour with 10,000 Maniacs. Listen for them on the "Spike and Randy Show" this week for an exclusive, interview!

"Scruffy the Cat" by Don &Ed "Tiny Days" is the title of Scruffy the Cat's first full-length album, but I foresee big days for this New Jersey based band. Their first album, entitled "High Octane Revival," was a six song E.P. It featured great songs such as "Tiger, Tiger," "40 Days & 40 Nights," and my personal favorite, "Happiness T o Go." I enjoyed the first album very much and the second album is just as good if not better. Scruffy the Cat has an up-beat rock sound which is found in songs such as, "My Baby, She's All Right," "Upside Down," and "Never Never." Then they slow down the tempo with songs such as, "Hello Angel," and "Time Never Forgets.'' Not only does Scruffy the Cat use the basic guitar, bass, and drums, but it adds some things like the banjo, harmonica, and accordian which gives it a unique, bar band sound. I expect a lot more great albums from this up and coming New Jersey band.

After further investigation of the issue I found out what the reason was--they had not decided whether or not to let the six candidates run for representative. The reason for some of these candidates not being able to run is that they broke a rule that states candidates are not supposed to mimeograph. What is the definition of mimeograpn? I am sure many of you out there now are scratching your heads and saying, "mimeograph?" just as I did. To ease my mind I looked and I'm sure to ease many others, I looked it up in the dictionary, and this is what I found: a printing device in which a waxed paper _ stencil cut by a typewriter or stylus, rotates on a drum, ink from which penetrates ... .etc. I do not wish to bore you with details (as I probably already have). Now this is what some of- the candidates did to get themselves disqualified. They used computer printouts which were considered to be mimeogrpahs. I do not see any correlation brtween these words at all. It is a stupid rule that says that the candidates are not able to .use the computer. The reason for this is that the computer room is open for everybody's use and even if you did not know how to use the computer, there is always someone there to show you how to use it. Well, now that I have gotten that off of the top of my head, I will thank you for reading my views.

Wilkes downs U psal It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead, the Colonels made an apparent blow-out into a close. The Colonels on their first possession wasted no time in hitting paydirt, as Carl DeLuca hit Tony DiGrazia on a 34-yard scoring strike. Shawn Meagley's PAT was good and the Colonels jumped out to a 7-0 lead. The Colonel defense stuffed Upsala for the second time and the Colonels were back in business. A roughing the kicker penalty gave the Colonels great field position at midfield. Once again DeLuca hooked up with DiGrazia for his second touchdown of the game. Meagley's kick was good and the Colonels had a quick 14-0 lead. At this point i~ the game Wilkes was on the verge of blowing out the Vikings. But turnovers by the Wilkes offense gave the Vikings new life, and Upsala scored its first points of the game on a Tony Carmilio 29-yard run. The PAT was good and Upsala cut the Colonel lead to 14-7. There was no further scoring and the Colonels went into the lockerroom wondering what could have been. With the start of the second half the Colonel offense continued to gain yardage. The Colonel offense rolled up 460 yards on the day. But mistakes and turnovers halted the Colonels from putting any points on the board. After a scoreless third quarter Upsala struck again as Carmino scored his second touchdown of the game, this time on a 66-yard touchdown run.

Regional ranking eludes Colonels by Craig Lari~er When the Wilkes' soccer team traveled to Bethlehem, PA on Saturday, they knew that if they could upset Moravian College, their chances for a top ten regional ranking would be definite. The Colonels were ranked eleventh entering into Saturday's game against the Greyhounds. Going into the game Moravian was ranked seventh in the region. Unfortunately, the top ten regional ranking eluded the Colonels this week as Wilkes fell to Moravian 0-4. "I knew that it was going to be a tough game against a tough team. The ranking was in the back of my mind throughout the game," explained Andy Renner. Sean Lockhead added, "I was disappointed with thr overall outcome of the game. We knew that we would have to pilly well . in order to upset Moravian." The Colonels may very well earn a top ten regional ranking, but they will 11ave to wait until their next game to try again.

Dr. Joseph H. Salsburg served as Master of Ceremonies for the event. Salsburg informed the crowd that this was the first new structure on campus since 1982. Dr. Charles N. Bums and he were classmates in the first graduating class (1935) of Bucknell Junior College, which later became Wilkes. He told a playful anecdote about "helping" Bums · through chemistry by "checking his answers" during tests. Trustee Ronald W. Simms ('60) said in his greeting that he feels the "school is definitely on a move upward." He is proud of the committment made by the Board of Trustees, the faculty, and the alumni toward the tower and the new gym. John J. Chwalek next offered his "perspective" of the event. In 1961, when his wife was a student here, she suggested to him the idea of a clock tower on campus to help students find the time. When they traveled to South Carolina one year, every college campus they visited had a central tower structure. Over the years, he drew several sketches of potential structures, but the idea was dormant until the Homecoming celebration a few years ago. There, Chwalek mentioned the idea to a group of alumni, eliciting a very pos1uve response. At the time, someone suggested it be named after Bums. Shortly thereafter, President Breiseth and Dr. Bums had lunch together, after which the project was immediately approved. James Sabatini, President of the Class of 1970, said, "Today is a very proud day for Wilkes College." He explained the role of his class in the belltower campaign. A special part- nership began years ago with the class of 1970 "inaugurating a class reunion gift to repay the college" for all it had done for them. Last year, the class agreed to pledge their funds, in excess of $50,000, to the belltower campaign. He stated that Wilkes' committment to continued growth in curriculum and facilities was a great incentive for class contributors to remain faithful to their promise. "A feeling of friendship permeates the campus," he said. President Christopher N. Breiseth then stepped to the podium for the official dedication of the belltower. He began by noting that this project "came from vision, a little bit of courage, and from the sense that institutions, like families, need to rally around. . . and establish aspirations." According to Breiseth, the tower is going to include a plaza with benches, which, he hopes, will foster a center of debate and serve as Continued on p.5 wprogram benefits community a press tly to announce the of a Drug and Education Center on College received a of $63,700 from SlaleS Department of lhis purpose. will serve as an llaining resource for 240 teachers from County school In order to motivate · ipate, there will be Ir lhe progam.

First, people who participate in the training will receive graduate credits. Second, the project is a direct response to the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Council which has been pushing for such a positive undertaking for a long while. This involvement is just one part of the College's ongoing role in serving the local and regional community. Fahmy explained the basics of the initial program. Thirty educators will be chosen to participate in each course by a committee - within the Center. Courses will last for eight weeks, with 2 three-hour classes per week, for a total of 45 hours of instruction. Two sessions will be offered each spring, summer, and fall. At this rate, all of the 240 teachers being considered will have gone through the program in about 2 1/2 years. . Dr. Michael Garr, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology, was named Project Director. He views the program as necessary and said that "if we're to confront . . the drug problem, teachers need to be on the front line edge. There is a growing need to sensitire teachers to drug problems students may face. The first step is education." Serving as consultant to the project will be Carmen Ambrosino, executive director of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Sen-ices, Inc. He said that the program will allow educators to learn "early warning signs of abuse" and teach them the importance of referring the students to proper sources of treatment. He called the project "creative response to an area long identified but not dealt with." Ambrosino stated that a pilot project launched previous to the creation of the present Center "had outstanding results and moved the main project a step further." Though the program proper will be instituted through the College's Graduate Division, other features of the program will have far-reaching effects on both the College and community. These proposals involve undergraduate courses for nursing, sociology, and psychology majors as well as courses in the Continuing Educ- a ation Department The Center will also sponsor seminars and workshops in an attempt to increase awareness in members of the community. A regional training center is also planned. This project would work with local law enforcement officers, juvenile authorities, and certified addictions counselors to provide them with a strong background in dealing with youth alcohoVdrug abuse. Additionally, there is the research contstituent of the project. The Wilkes Computer Center, as well as the Farley Library, will serve as valuable sources of locating and processing data and statistical information. As the project evolves, additional funding will be sought from private foundations. Wilkes is attempting to mobilize adults to help the young overcome this threatening problem. President Christopher Breiseth said, "It is a challenge that faces all of us if we care about our future." �~:rwo. Editorial Alcohol awareness flourishing Letters to the Editor A special thanks Dear Editor: Dear Editor: On Thursday, October 22, 1987, the Alcohol Disciplinary Board and several student organizations sponsored "A Drink with the Deans and Faculty" as part of Alcohol Awareness Day at Wilkes College. As Coordinators of this project, I'd like to publicly thank the students who were instrumental . . . . m making this event a success: Special thanks to Kris Cornall, Liz Fitzhugh, Bill Heaster, Henry Novroski, Barb Riley,_Joe Snell, Heidi Weiser, various members of Bacchus, ROTC, and most especially to Karen Murphy and Sharon Froude who were responsible for the planning that led up to Alcohol Awareness Day. Responsible decision making regarding alcohol consumption is an important, controversial issue on campuses across the country. It is gratifying to know a vital, concerned group of students, interested in focusing on this critical aspect of student life exists at Wilkes College. Recently, Wilkes held a press conference to announce the establishment of a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Center. This center, available due to a grant from the US Department of Education, is designed to educate secondary school teachers about the early warning signs of drug and alcohol abuse and how to refer students to the proper agencies. An admirable goal, but some may ask, "Just how is this program going to help Wilkes College?" Ostensibly, the program may not seem to have any direct benefit on the College itself. We must, however, look beyond the surface of the program. The more educators on the college and university level who help secondary schools fight the problem of drug abuse, the more responsible and productive students we can expect to enter college and society. The program may seem idealistic. How can merely educating teachers help the community? We are responsible as a part of this community to help implement improvements in any way that we can. Wilkes is not a separate entity; we exist because of the community. The commmunity provides Wilkes with support. It is only fitting that Wilkes gives something back. Helping the community is vital, but once students make it to campus, the threat of alcohol and drug abuse does not just go away. In fact, for many, college is the place where intensive abuse of alcohol begins. Previously, the only body that addressed the alcohol problem on our campus was the Alcohol Disciplinary Board that serves to enforce the College's official alcohol policies. Now, however, it seems that a core group of concerned students have taken the initiative and reacted to the "silent" alcohol problem. Last Thursday a "Drink with the Deans and Faculty" was held, sponsored by a newly formed group, BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Copceming University Students). The event was designed to help students and the campus MarkSowcik commmunity become aware of their alcohol consumption. In an Campus Counseling atmosphere almost always associated with excessive drinking and partying, the organization has the potential to be of great help to the campus community. What is perhaps most important about the studentbased group is the source of its motivation. It is not a group designed to warn students about the evils of alcohol, or even to suggest that students should not drink. Rather, it is a group that only wants students to be aware of their drinking habits, stressing the act of responsible drinking instead of the "drink 'til you puke" ideal favored on many college campuses. A school can set alcohol policies and occasionally enforce them , by M. E. Evers but if the students are not aware of their actions and continue to abuse alcohol, then the policies are ineffective anyway. The students, in fact, To all of you who've been are the driving force behind the alcohol policies, behind the parties, and complaining (oops, I meant to say, behind a reasonable social atmosphere. Awareness and responsibility go "voicing the opinion") lately that hand-in-hand in the case of alcohol consumption, and if BACCHUS The Beacon's writers in general--and succeeds in its goal to make students more aware of their alcohol this columnist in j>articular--have consumption, the group can only improve the atmosphere, both social nothing nice to say about Wilkes . and academic, of the College.

Seriously, though, the I urge students to look into BACCHUS, if only to hear what the prevailing belief around campus group has to say. As part of your college experience, you should be these days--a sentiment that willing to entertain all points of view. I also urge Wilkes College to distresses me each tim_e I hear it take the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Center very seriously.

But the point is that it's their money and if they feel a belltower is an appropriate gift of their loyalty to their college, then so be it This letter is not an attempt to put down student interests or social consciousness. But how can writers like M.E. Evers report on the belltower without having all the facts. M.E. Evers' san:astic remark about a "worthwhile investment" is totally uncalled for, as shown above. If M.E.

And in ten years, people--perhaps even prospective employers--won't remember what Wilkes was like in 1987; they'll associate the Wilkes of '87 with the Wilkes of '97. The state of the College in ten years, then, may be something of concern to us all.

It seems as if students are becoming a little more interested in campus events; two instances of "non-apathy" caught my attention this weekend. Homecoming, of course, was the first. Homecoming dis:plays this year were quite creative; attendance at events was high. There is, apparently, still "school spirit" at Wilkes. The second example was last weekend's theatre production. Chamber Music wasn't a Wilkes/ King's production; it was a studentdirected production, directed by senior Michelle Palmieri. Attendance at the play was good the night I attended; from what I understand, Chamber Music boasted the best attendance any student-directed play at Wilkes has ever had. Not bad for Homecoming Weekend, is it? Maybe, then, it's really going to happen. Wilkes students may finally become more aware and more interested in campus life. Maybe we'll never have to read about apathy in The Beacon ever again--a prospect I'm sure delights many of you. See?

Three years ago, the College received a $300,000 grant for faculty and curricular development. This is the third year of the grant, and Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs, said that the College plans to re-apply for the next $200,000 over a five-year period. He said that during this fiveyear span, the College will do a thorough analysis of curriculum based on students' needs. Upon recommendations from the task force committee and the Long-Range Planning Committee, the College decided to examine "tjlose principles and ideals that guide the College - in ,, the development of its various curricula and its work with the community," according to the Spring 1985 Mission Statement. That statement read further, "In short, the committee proposed a review of the mission of Wilkes College and a redefinition of philosophies to serve to give it identity and continue to be the basis for orienting its thinking and work." Heaman explained the core curriculum is being reevaluated "to provide for a better education." He said, "It [the core curriculum] may atrophy. [We must] examine what we have. If we agree that what we already have is O.K. after reviewing, we will stay with it" A benefit of a new curriculum would be to provide a liberal arts education which would enable students to keep pace with the modem world. Heaman said, "As we enter a rapidly changing, complex society, students will need to be both technologically and culturally literate and as citizens will be faced with difficult moral and ethical judgements. "We hope to prepare our students to be lifelong learners--to put students in the center of learning experiences, developing skills needed," Heaman added. The committee had been meeting to decide what students should learn before they graduate. Having reviewed goals and approved them, the committee is now working on a model curriculum. One new feature may be "Common Experiences" courses. These would be courses which might introduce current ethical issues, cultural programs and aesthetic life into classes. An example of this would involve students going to see a play which was taught in class. Freshmen seminars may also be part of the new core. These would help the student get the most out of controversial, technical, and cultural events offered on campus. Other features of the new core would inclu~e Proficiency (basics) and the Distribution Requirements (Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Sciences courses). Any changes made would affect incoming students in 1989. Those on the committee are Bing Wong, chairman; Sharon Telban, past chairman; Louise Berard; Walter Karpinich and Rose Cordora.

Hollenback Hall. Students who are unable to attend may pick up his rule, Iran adopted a policy of violence, mostly applications outside Sowcik's office international against innocent civilians. Yet anytime after November 5th. everyone still bought his oil and sold him guns. Meanwhile, next door in Iraq, another petty dictator went the other way. He sold his oil to the west and bought large quantities of weapons from the Soviets. One day Iraq launched all of its Soviet weapons against Iran's American weapons. Believing that the U.S. would not resupply Iran, Iraq became overconfident and lost every battle of this long war, while Iran took more and more Iraqi"land for itself. Eventually Iran started running out of American weapons, while Iraq kept getting more Soviet weapons. To keep from losing, Iran started buying weapons from everyone, France and China getting the majority of weapon contracts. To prevent a Soviet- backed nation from gaining control of Iran, and to, supposedly, ease Middle East tension by influencing Iran back to our way of thinking, not to mention the billions of dollars in exorts from the U.S., we sold Iran replacement parts for its American weapons. Meanwhile, Iraq was about to lose the only port it had for shipping oil to the rest of the world. Another country, Kuwait, opened a pipeline through its territory so Iraq wouldn't go broke. I think that means they (Kuwait and Iraq) became allies. To destroy the other's war effort, Iraq started bombing Iranian oil depots and tankers. This put us in the middle; afterall we were Iran's ally, but we were Kuwait's ally, too. Or is it we were Iraq's ally and !fun's enemy. No, that's not right. We sold Iran guns, so we were Iran's ally, but we just bombed them. Anyway, the U.S. .~ involved somehow. Again, my first question: "Whose interest?" Let's look at this country by country. Iran is anti-United States, but we sell them guns. Iraq is Soviet- supported, yet it's our fleet that protects their oil exports. Kuwait is neutral, yP.t they ship Iraqi oil on U.S. tankers that are being bombed by Iran. I guess our involvement isn't political. So let's look at it economically. We sell guns to Iran so that those same guns can be fired on U.S. ships. No gain there. Our tankers haul Iraqi oil (which isn't even for the American market) so they can sell it for money to buy Soviet weapons. Kuwait is where we pick up the oil, and the tankers are owned by Kuwait, even if they do fly the American flag. Wait. That's the answer! Don't the Kuwaiti oil sheiks own most of the U.S. territory not owned by the Americans? And the oil is shipped to Japan. Who owns the rest of the U.S. territory not owned by Americans? �October '19. 1987 HomecomingWeeke 1987 King and Queen chosen from court and anounced by Kim Klirnelc Princes making up the court were Michael Zobel, third runner- Banners unfurled on the fence surrounding the football field showed the crowd's enthusiasm for Homecoming 1987.

You learned about him and his organization and what it's all about. This week we would like you to get to know Scott Barth, Commuter Council president. Scott is a junior marketing major from Kingston. At present, besides his studies and duties president, Scott is assisting in his father's successful packaging brockerage business. He ·hopes to continue with this and someday go out on his own. To understand what Scott's job is, you first must know what Commuter Council (C.C.) is and what it is they do. According to Scott, "C.C. is an organization that allows and encourages commuter students to take part in various school activities. We are also in charge of allocating parking permits." Scott's job is to see that this is all done successfully, and to attend various important student/administration meetings to "see that commuters are fairly represented and to provide a means that all commuters have their opinions properly voiced." With Scott as president, and the rest of his board, (Bruce Hom, vice president; Barb Carpenter, recording secretary; Jennifer Douglas, corresponding secretary; Jim Gizelbach, treasurer; Matt Beekman, parliamentarian) C.C.'s future looks bright. For this semester they have planned a halloween gym dance for this Saturday featuring the band Gandalf, a New York City bus trip on November 25, and a Christmas semi-formal dance scheduled for December 4. Activities aren't all of C.C.'s future. They also have plans to improve commuter life. Scott says that he plans to propose to the Student Government an alternate parking plan. The plan is to utilize the parking lot at the Ralston field complex and have a shuttle bus system to the school. (At press time the proposal had already been made but there was no judgement.) as R . e, Ne .E A cynically humorous play, "Chamber Music" was presented on Friday and Saturday night, October21 the Wilkes College Theatre.

As I asked John Rosania last week, I asked Scott what being a Campus Leader means to him. Scott confidently answered, "It provides me with the opportunity to help make decisions that effect the school; it also prepares me for the 'decision making process' I will encounter in the business world. I also feel that your experiences and what you make of them is the most impMant developmental aspect of a college education."

The best Stephen King film was "Chistine," which was about a possessed 1957 Chevy. The director of this movie was the current master in the horror film medium, John Carpenter. In 1978 · he brought "Halloween" to the big screen. This story was about a seemingly indestructible killer, called "the boogeyman," who returned to his childhood town to unleash a reign of terror and murder. It was the largest grossing independent film of all time. Since then, Carpenter has directed or produced a number of good but far from successful films. These included "Starman" and "Escape From New York," to name a few. His real talent, though, lies in horror. In his latest thriller, "The Prince of Darkness," he sets out to recapture horror fans abound, and he does it quite successfully at that . The first fifteen minutes of "Prince" . . bo . b t •f .th 1standqwteth nn~, u 1 you can , w1 . s fi esereal tnte moments I you re m or some scares. n - "The Prince of Darkness" Donald Pleasance ("Halloween I & II'') plays the part of a priest who sets out to prevent Satan from entering our world. He recruits a college professor and some of his graduate science students to help him. The whole story is set in an old and abandoned church where the devil plans to make his grand entrance. Inside there is a glowing emerald glass cylinder with unusual evil powers. For instance, when someone gets to close to it, they get zapped and are therefore under the power of the devil. The army of the devil worshippers grows and the scares and suspense mount to an exciting finale. The camera shots are a large part of why "The Prince of Darkness" comes across in such a spectacular way. Carpenter used similar camera work in "Halloween.'' He used shots that contained the killer standing in the shadowed background without the helpless victim knowing. Elements like this make "Prince" a shocking thriller. Carpenter, believe it or not, also composed the music for this film like he did for "Halloween," "Christine," and "Escape from New York.'' John Carpenter's talents seem to be limitless in the realm of horror movies. Let's ~ with them! There's talk about Carpenter helm and directing " Is this a trick or will pleasant treat?

Recently the Wilkes Speech and Debate Union reached this milestone by winning 12 trophies at the annual Bloomsburg University novice speech toum-ament. The first tournament of tne year saw new members of "Kinney's Kids" challenge seven colleges and universities from four states in a one-day competition of inter-collegiate speaking skills. Not only did the Wilkes team win twelve awards, they were declared the overall first place winner of the competition. The public speaking squad consisted of students in their first year of intercollegiate competition. Gerry Kelley won a second place trophy in informative speaking, and his teammate Cathy Carey was awarded the sixth place trophy for her efforts in this competition.

Department and the Speech Com- Storyteller comes to Wilkes · by Lee Morrell Oh for the days of the wandering minstral, the bringers of tales from foreign lands. What, you say we had one at Wilkes College, Monday night? That's right, local woman and traveling storyteller, Susan Danoff entertained a packed CPA with her international tales and kept them spellbound with her mystical stories. She told eight tales, four under the title "Stories of Wisdom," and called, "Lies and Truths." The first four, the stories of wisdom, were quite diverse. The first was a Buddhist tale called "A Grain of Rice." The story was about a king, his daughters, and his need to pick a successor to the throne. The second was a Chinese tale about a farmer who had his crop stolen and his pursuit to have it returned to him. The third was a Jewish tale called "The Challas and the Ark." The story was about a man who wanted God's favor, so he had his wife bake loaves of bread for God, and placed them in the ark four A different perspective Life s by Bill Barber "'Tis not love's going that hurt my days/but that it went in little ways." Thus Edna Millay summed up the niggling quality in love's demise, and she was right. She just didn't go far enough. Love and love's foul-ups are one thing, but life--this grand expanse of time we fill with confusion and doubt--is another. That it should be rife with pettiness and little set-backs, that is the rub. I can handle catastrophes, deluges, stock market plummets, Middle East turmoil and the like. These bombard us daily and we deaden to them. After seven years of Reagan I'm ready to take on the Armageddon with one hand tied behind my back. But you show me a niggling little unnecessary foulup and I'll show you my complete undoing. In this category, the U.S. Post Office has become my nemesis. One should reasonably expect, given the price of postage, that one's mail, paltry as it my be, could be delivered on time. It seems, however, that wherever I have lived over the past hundred years, my mailbox is the last one on the route. Never mind ringing twice, my postman doesn't ring at little foul ups all. I try to be calm. I am a person who survives by mail. The daily interchange of things in envelopes has kept me alive longer than I care to mention. Let's face it, checks usually arrive through the mail. Bills also arrive through the mail. This is the yin and yang of daily life. In my case the bills are having much better luck than the checks, but I could even live with that, provided the mail would get here at all. I've heard a lot of good things about Civil Service jobs. I never knew, however, that postmen could willy-nilly declare their own holidays. Our postman has never made it to the box at the same time twice in the same month. I could even live with this if it weren't for the fact that the one day a week he chooses to take off is always the day I am feverishly on deadline and waiting for a check so that I can scurry over to the bank. Those days I long to be a vicious pit bull. I am not fond of sneaking up · on my mailbox, but I find myself doing more and more of it. Forget the two flights of stairs I have to descend and ascend. I like to feel, when the key opens the lock, that at least one little paper treasure is ,waiting for me. I can even live with an empty box from time to time. I cannot live with no delivery at all. I have begun watching from the window, snarling and snapping. I've even observed the postman shuffle down the street right past our door, dodge, tum left and disappear. I get my leash and I wait by the door, but nothing! My check was due days ago, and the postman suddenly turns up missing. I keep expecting to find one of those little missing child postcards addressed to Resident that has a picture of my postman on it I have had very important mail returned to sender, address unknown, on days that I spent all morning in my pajamas perched on the steps next to the mailbox. I've had checks sent from New York that have never arrived and had to be cancelled and rewritten. I've had invitations disappear, magazines stolen, and postcards from friends in Hawaii who've been back from Hawaii for weeks. Somehow, through all this, the bills always manage to get through. I'm sure there are gods and goddesses behind all of this. No one pays them any mind anymore, so they sneak in and out unnoticed. They trip up the mailman on the day he is carrying my long-overdue check. They befuddle his mind and make him stamp "return to sender" on my envelopes. On big days they give him the sniffles and he just stays home. I tried to call the Post Office to complain, but I couldn't find the number in the phone book. What the hell. 50 cents. I called information. I was ready to complain. I wanted badge numbers! I wanted the Post Master General! What did I get? A busy signal, that's what. Six times in a row! No, there's a conspiracy afoot. That's all there is to it. The gods and goddesses are bored to tears and they've moved into my neighborhood to harrass my mailman and my mailbox. There's no other reasonable explanation. I'm tied in knots by now. Here I finally get smart and write to Merrill Lynch, two weeks ago, and tell them "Sell that damn mutual fund and send me the money!" Two weeks ago! And what happens? The great crash of '87, that's what. I finally beat the odds, sell out just in the nick of time, the check is supposed to be in the mail, and what happens? The entire bottom falls out of the economy. With me, cooking eggs by my tent in the lobby, still waiting for my mail! And where is the postman? Where? You want to know where? He's taken the week off and gone to Hawaii. in the synogogue.

The players are; Captains Joyce Dait, Kim Cooper, Jane Zeller, Debbie Decesare, Debbie Marquart, Donna Vasquez, and Sue Dicton. All of these players will be missed next season not only because of their dedication, skill, and experience they brought to the field, but also for their enthusiasm and ability to unite a team. Good luck seniors. The lady stickers would also like to thank · the fans who supported them throughout the season. The Lady Colonels prepare to defend against a corner shot. Volleyball team defeated in Juniata tourney by Kathy Harris The Wilkes volleyball team enters this final week of competition with a 7-18 record after dropping their last six matches. Fine, consistant performances were turned in by Lisa Kravitz, Theresa Ayers, and Linda Straface. Wilkes began the week with a loss to the Lady Colonels of Susquehanna 0-3 (1-15, 4-15,1015). Kravitz had six kills while Ayers assisted on six kills. Straface successfully blocked four shots. In the doubleheader, Wilkes was defeated by Albright 0-2 (7-15, 6-15).

The Colonels achieved this ·goal very easily as they destroyed Lebanon Valley before a large Homecoming crowd. With the 4120 victory over the Flying Dutchmen, the Colonels are now in .a three-way tie for first place, and will be looking to this Saturday as they host 10th ranked Widener. Saturday was once again the Carl DeLuca show. The senior quarterback set two new Colonel records--one for passing yardage in a single, and the other for touchdown passes in a season. On the day DeLuca completed 29 of 45 passes for 354-yards, and threw three touchdown passes. With the Colonel defense stopping Lebanon Valley, the Colonel offense wasted no time in giving the hometown fans something to cheer about Fullback Dean Ambosie bulled his way into the endzone from one yard out. Shawn Meagley's PAT was good and the Colonels were up 7-0. Ambosie's touchdown was set up by a beautiful pass recption by Ron Ulitchney which gave the Colonels first and goal at the two. There was no further scoring in the first quarter, but the second quarter was one that the Flying Dutchmen would like to forget. The Colonels erupted for 21 second quarter points. Wilkes' second touchdown was a 24-yard pass from DeLuca to Tony DiGrazia DiGrazia showed his talents on the play as he out jumped the Lebanon Valley defender. On the day the AllAmerican receiver caught eight balls for 102 yards. Wilkes' third score came by way of a great effort by Ambosie. Taking a screen pass from DeLuca at the Lebanon Valley 26 he cut and weaved his way to the endzone. Meagley's boot was good and the Colonels were up by ·a score of 210. With less than 20 seconds left in the first half DeLuca capped off the second quarter onslaught with a one-yard plunge. Meagley's fourth placement was good and the Colonels went into the locker room with a 28-0 lead. The Colonels not only dominated the first half offensively but also defensively.

O'Hop said the move will also solve some · physical problems. During the architectual process, for example, the loading dock was made about two feet lower than it should have been because Stark was built on slightl y different levels. This and the congested parking space pose problems in shipping. O'Hop said one problem will be what to place in the basement of Stark. Pesta said that he hopes to have work started on the bookstore soon, but 'doesn't want to inconvenience students buying books for the spring semester. He said that early work will not interfere with the sales part of the building to avoid confusion at the beginning of the semester. Church Hall will also undergo minor renovations to make accomodations for the bookstore. He said, "Our interest is in making Wilkes more attrae;tive, more accessible for clientele and faculty." O'Hop said that the problem with the buildings is "deferred maintenance." He added, "It has almost become imperative that we do this." He said that a dossier had been drawn up to see what major and minor repairs have to be done. This does not mean they will be done right away, but it is a proactive role that will help. It (change) takes a great deal of time." O'Hop said that vandalism is another problem which interferes with renovation. The danlage done effects the College by having people spend time and money making repairs when efforts could have been spent on other projects to help students in other ways. Keohane storms NewYork by Tom Urso ne, a senior at Wilkes, placed 100th in Sunday's New thon. The ROTC will soon be located in Slocum Hall on S. River St. A crowd of over twenty-two thousand people began a · gruelling 26.2 mile race through the five boroughs of New York City on Sunday. About ten minutes before 11 a.m. Sunday, the runners took off Among the many participants was Wilkes' Mike Keohane. The months of training that went into this race must have all been worth it when he crossed the finish line in an outstanding time of 2 hours and 30 minutes with an equally impressive 100th place finish. Remember that that finish represents at least the top one percent of all finishing participants. Now those are some impressive accomplishments for Mike's first marathon. In talking to Mike after the race I asked him how he felt and he replied, 'Tm sore from the waist down." And that's coming from someone who has been running for many years.

Whether students realized it or not, this Tuesday marked the beginning of the Meet the Prez Series, where the president would make himself available to students in an open forum for questions, comments, or complaints. It seems, however, that a majority of the students on campus overlooked the date on their calendar, because with the exception of The Beacon photographer and myself, there was only one other student who showed up to take advantage of this opportunity to speak with the "brass" of Wilkes College. It is my hope that students merely overlooked the opportunity. My greatest apprehension is that many may have felt intimidated by the President. This should not be the case. Sure, Dr. Breiseth is the President of the College, but the man should be, and is, approachable. Your ideas as a student are not only important, they are vital to the success of Wil,kes College. If students are reluctant to approach him, Dr. Breiseth pointed out, to speak their mind about what goes on at Wilkes College, they will, as adults, be reluctant to approach the head of a corporation, their congressman, or their boss. I agree with Dr. Breiseth. Student§ should be willing to approach the President with their ideas and expect to have them listened to. The topics at the Meet the Prez session included information about the new gym, the bell tower, new programs in the works, the affect of the stock market problems on Wilkes, and just plain pride in Wilkes College. These are topics that you certainly do not get to broach with the President every day. This is a fantastic opportunity for.students to learn and to teach. Unfortunately, many students are ignoring this chance. I realize that students have busy schedules, but it only takes a moment to stop by the Stq,rk Lobby and talk to President Breiseth. If you have never had the opportunity to speak to the President, it would be wise to do so. After all, the school depends .on students as its backbone, and the President, although he certainly is in charge of the school, still essentially must answer for his actions. It is important to realize that although the President does not have to listen to your suggestions, you have every right to make them. Perhaps in the future problems can be avoided if the President gets a clear and consistent voice from the student body. Really, what other way can the President know what we are thinking, short of talking to us? There has been some criticism of The Beacon--we have been accused of leading students down a crooked path, perhaps even of being led down this path ourselves by members of the faculty. This is not the case. We at The Beacon have opinions and when necessary voice them. They are our own opinions. This does not make them any less valid. You, as students, have the right to voice your opinions as well. Utilize the forums you have available--Letters to the Editor, Meet the Prez, and other campus oragnizations. Prove to the President that you, indeed, do have opinions of your own. Each time The Beacon is accused of leading or being led, students are in fact being insulted. The Beacon does not have the ability to lead students down improper pathways. Students car. !~k at both sides of an issue and make an informed decision on their own, without being led by the faculty, administration, or even the editor of The Beacon. The most important lesson you can learn as a college student is when to take responsibility for your actions and the world around you. Meet the Prez is an excellent beginning for this kind of responsibility. I urge students to come out and be counted. Do not feel intimidated; do not ever feel that what you have to say won't count, or that you will end up sounding stupid. Every opinion is valid, and should have a place when considering the well-being of Wilkes CoHege. If last Tuesday was any indication, many students are reluctant to get involved with this kind of responsibility for whatever reason. It is, however, vital to the success of this school for students to get involved. Wilkes College is an important part of your future. Don't be satisfied just to sit by and let peQple run things for you. Get out there, meet the Prez; ask him questions. But especially, listen, and listen carefully, to his responses. Then, take that information and interpret it for yourself. If you are reading this editorial now, I can only assume that you are concerned about what happens on campus. Do not, however, take The Beacon's word as law. Read The Beacon, and go out and question the President about what you read. Take both sides into condsideration. I am confident that you will not be led, whether by The Beacon or by the President Meet the Prez is a golden opportunity. I don't believe that the school is going to change overnight, but it is up to you, as students, to at least plant the seed of change in the school. Meet the Prez, and make a difference. p. 3 '©:bt 1.fata:cott m6st cr is, "I ca have a c, is the ti VOL.

To me, it's the period halfway between Fall Break and Thanksgiving Break when you typically have two long papers and five tests in two weeks--not to mention assorted minor homework assignments. It's easy to figure out when midterm is actually upon you; the "danger signs" are easily recognizable, once you know what they are.

Vice-president Waldner feels that there are certain plans and goals which students who are taking undergrad11ate courses at Wilkes should keep in mind. He said, "Students should be active participants in classes. Be prepared for class, to contribute to the learning environment by asking questions or stating points of view in class." Students will benefit from college experiences, he said, to the extent which students become active participents. He said that over the long run, they will develop intellectual characteristics and work habits that will be a great help through their lives. Another goal is personal planning. Waldner said that "by the time students are in their junior year, they should have a w,;tten plan. This plan should specify the long term career objectives and strategies for achieving those objectives." He said the goal of the plan should also be related co what the student is studying at Wilkes.

For many, giving blood is a bothersome or worrisome idea. Many students who don't give blood say that they are too scared to give or just don't have the time. With all of the recent publicity received by AIDs, some people claim to be afraid of getting AIDS by giving blood. Since the AIDs virus is only transmitted by contaminated blood, or sexually transmitted by body fluids, donors do not risk getting the disease from donating blood. Acoording to Mary Supey, director of Health Services at Wilkes, "The reason you cannot get AIDs is because they use a sterile set to draw the blood. Eve:ything is disposable and thrown away (after each person). She said, the need for blood is as strong as ever. "The number one cause of death in people your age (late teens--early 20s) is accidents. HEY YOU! Yeah, you. You may be saving the life of your roomate. Accident victims use a lot of blood, and if it's not there.. it's just ~t. there." Supey said "If we (Wilkes) don't reach ohr quota they're (the local Red Cross) under half of their requirement for the day." This year's goal is 220 pints. She said that last year only seven staff members contributed, and within the last four years, the quota has not yet been reached. The local Red Cross branch supplies blood to nearly 1.5 million people. To supply blood to such a large number of people, the Red Cross needs 430 donors a day. In recent years, people have been declining to give blood for more and more reasons. Now, according to Supey, the local branch is on the verge of declaring a "blood emergency." Blood donors of all types are needed. Anyone from the age of 17 Reliable weekly writers are needed! Gain experience while sharpening your newswriting skills. Join the Beacon Staff!

According to John Schmidt, president, the group is not living up to its purpose. He attributes this to a lack of enthusiasm within certain parts . of the college. He says that there is only a 50-60% turnout rate of dorm representatives at the bi-weekly meetings of the Council. The purpose of the IRHC is basically to plan and direct projects involving dormitories, as well as Inter-Residence Hall (IRHC) of Wilkes College on-campus organization that aliason between the dorms administration. The purof the council, from its charter, is "to arouse and donnitory interest in affairs."

Far more information, coll Capt Tom Moerschel 1-800-USAF-REC working with Commuter Council (CC) to plan all-college activities. Also, the IRHC may serve to resolve disputes in inter-dorm matters. The IRHC was established in 1955 as the "Inter-Dormitory Council" to serve as a "coordinating unit between the dormitories and the administration of the college." IRHC has sponsored one event this year, in conjunction with CC: the Halloween Dance of last weekend. Schmidt said the dance showed a large turnout of students. There was live music by the rock band, Gandalf, and costume contests were also held. Such events help in creating a sense of campus unity which would be impossible without student participation and input The next event being planned, also with CC, is a Christmas dinner-dance to be held in early December. These are the only things the IRHC has planned so far. The Council is looking for new and creative ideas that would help to increase dorm participation within the college. As it is now, dorms exist almost as individual enuues. The greatest contact between residence halls is that of brother and sister dorms which may sponsor small events between themselves. A typical meeting consists of discussing any important business at hand, then opening the floor to suggestions and complaints. Constructive complaints are welcome; but "all talk/no action" suggestions are frowned upon. In order for the IRHC to serve the students, it requires student input. Each dormitory elects a president who also serves as the IRHC representative in most cases. Schmidt says that he "would like to see people other than the dorm presidents -show up for the meetings." At the present time, there are several committees to handle specific areas of resident life concern. A maintenance committee is in charge of handling any suggestions in improving the physical condition of dormitories. A food committee will talk to Mr. Arthur Daly, director of food service for the college cafeteria, if there are any comments or suggestions made in ·this area. According to Schmidt, however, there has been no student input. There is also a dorm parking committee and a publicity committee. Student volunteers are invited to join the committee of their choice or provide their insight in any of the committee concerns. IRHC will have regular office hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. everyday beginning November 16th, in its office on the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center. This will allow students to have direct access to IRHC members in order to voice any problems or concerns. The next meeting of the IRHC is on Thursday, November 12, at 12 noon in SLC 166. All interested dorm students are welcomed and urged to attend the meetings to provide creative input or just to get a feel of the Council's job. IMMORTALIZE YOUR WORDS JOIN THE AMNICOLA COPY STAFF.

What are they like when they're not at the radio station? Are they regular people? Well, this week The Beacon interviewed Spike and Randy of the "Spike and Randy Show." We began with some simple questions such as; The Beacon: Where are you from originally? Spike: Jim Thorpe, Pa. And Randy lives in a green house on 68 something street. (laughs) Randy:(returning from the other room) No, I'm really from Wilkes-Barre. The Beacon: What is your major? Spike: We're both junior electrical engineering majors. Randy: Yeah. The Beacon: How did you get here, to the station? Spike: I walked. No, really Randy got me into it. Randy: I did it as a freshman. Spike was always asking me to get him in. We had fun and wanted to do more. The Beacon: How long has the "Spike and Randy Show" been in existance? Randy: This is our second year together. The Beacon: Obvious question, when is your show? Spike: Sunday and Tuesday nights, 9:00p.m. until 12:00 midnight. The Beacon: Is there a theme friends with all of them. to your show? Randy: Alternative music at its best.

Do you want to chuckle 'ti! your sides split? You want to giggle yourself silly? But, you don't want to have to go to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or any other mecca of fine entertainment to have tlris happen. Well, as happens so often, the Programming Board says, "your wish is our command!" This Friday night, the same night that the Programming Board's own Dandy "D" Don Zelek celebrates his birthday, in the S.U.B., you won't be treated to just one comedian. No, no, that would be to easy. How about two comedians? Sound good to you? It's now time for the second "Comedy Laff-Off." Unlike last year, when we got two pure stand-up comedians (Billiam Coronel and Bill Rutkowski), this year we get a comic-juggler, Jack Swersie, and the headliner stand-up man, Ron Darian. . First I'll tell you a little about the "opening act.'' Jack Swersie is a comedian and also a juggler extrordinaire. Swersie began his career soon after his completion of a course of study from the prestgious Academy Theatre in Atlanta. As of 1983 his career began to soar after opening spots with Buddy Rich, Eartha Kitt, Jay Leno, Harry "Nightcourt" Anderson, Al Stewart, Pete Burbatti, Jimmy "Dy-No-Mite" Walker, Shirley "What's Happening" Hemphill, Margaret Whiting, and trumpeteer Maynard Ferguson. He has done his thing in such places as Caesar's, Harrah's, and the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City , the Host Farms in Lancaster, PA, the Mt. Airy Lodge in the Pocono Mountains, and of course the F .M. Kirby Center in our own back yard. Juggling is Swersie's forte. He leaves his audiences with their jaws scraping the ground as he juggles such interesting things as knives, cleavers, machetes, flaming devil sticks, bowling balls, apples, vegetables, mints, boxes, and balls " -- all with skillful abandonment.'' He also is a skillful fireeater. Did that get you curious? Do you think that would intrigue you? We're not even half done my friends, you see, you've got to meet Ron Darian. Ron Darian has been a LaffOff headliner for five years now. In between his touring, that lasts about forty weeks of the year, Darian is doing commercials for such things as Trump Casinos, Diet Coke, and Michelob beer. Most recently, Darian was the headliner at Caroline's, "New York's premier comedy venue," where he packed the house, they loved him so much they asked him to come back in January for a week. He also recently guest starred on David Brenner's "Nightlife," where he appeared with William "Capt. James T. Kirk" Shatner and Leonard "Mr. Spock" Nimoy and he performed his famous "Star Trek" routine. Darian studied acting at the impressive Circle in the Square Theatre Workshop, in New York City. So you can see that stand-up comedy isn't the only form of entertainment that Darian is attuned to. He has also worked on television, Broadway, and the movies. Darian was in the cast Broadway production of as well as the Regional Productions of "Play h -_Sam," "Godspell," and 'T men of Verona.'' If you vision he has made ap the soap operas "Ryan's "One Life to Live." He graced the screens of vision. He has been on a time special called "The York Laff-Off," and Ill special "Laughs," as well nationally syndicated "E - the Improv.''

You· see, the music was actually the sounds of Kirk Edwards, LNE! The latest installment of the '87-'88 Solo-Concert Series, sponsored by the Programming Board, was two hours of honky-tonkin' blues tunes, as presented by the 34 year old (actually, he tu.med 35 yesterday) journeyman. Edwards opened with a series of 50's post-war songs, the Korean war of course, by such artists as Jimmy McCracklin and the Blues Blasters and Frankie Lee Simms. This was followed by some songs from the 20's and 30's about such topics as getting drunk and coming of age, by Tampa Red and Merle Travis. · His next "generalization" was music called "cellar music." This is music that came from the deep south. He performed songs by such artists as Delbert McClinton, Tommy Serabian --an old friend that he used to do an occasional duo with that just recently passed away-and the author of the classic "Mr. Bojangles," Jerry Jeff Walker. He followed the "deep south" songs with some songs that definitely fit their name. He called them "Rockin' Blues." These were very up tempo fast moving fun songs. He played some songs by Willie Dixon, Junior Wells, Young Jesse, and even Bob Dylan. Edwards wasn't confined to performing all cover material. Of the songs that he did, four of them were written by him. The first that he did was a song cailed "Call Me Anytime." it was dedicated to an exgirlfriend who went from plain old singer to Grammy Award nominee and needed someone to help her deal with her success, so she called him-at 3:00 a.m. The next two songs, although they had no story prefacing them; the words said it all. They were called "Celestial Dancin"' and "The Simple Things." His final original work was a song about a time he was travelling to his shows in a camper, where he had all of his worldly posessions. He left the camper alone for a while and everything was stolen. The song tells of how he let it slide and just went on knowing there was no chance of his retrieving the stolen stuff. The song is appropriately called "First Light, Second Wind." Although he calai.med to not be a comedian he slipped in a song that was quite humorous. The untitled song was about a "three legged dog" in the old South who came back to reap revenge on the person (or dog) who "shot my pa (paw)." You know, "pa"-"paw," get it? Well, I laughed. The . only problem I saw Continued on p. 10 The rhododendron beckon me as I trudge up the walk toward the library, past what I presume is a fossilized tree stump. The dreamer in me bids me pause a brief moment, but my book-filled briefcase weighs me down. I pull open the heavy door with my free arm and enter the Farley Library. Libraries have been special sanctuaries since I was five, when I chose a book from the shelf for my mother to read to me. I have worked in libraries processing, cataloging, and shelving books. I love the quiet reassurance books exude in libraries. But, I am spoiled. _I expect the book I need now to be represented in the card catalog and on the bookshelf, or in circulation but available to me at a later date. Frustration, disappointment, and anger are emotions I have experienced when the book is not available, particularly when searching for books authorect by women, and books dealing with the multitude of issues facing today's women. My frustration, disappointment, and a11irer led me to investigate why a gap exists at Farley Library in an important subject area. Thanks to the Women's Movement and the changing roles of womyn, interest in this area has exploded. Consider that 49% of Wilkes' enrollment is female, and that they will graduate to live and work in a world where half the population is female. The library inventory should include a fair percentage of books addressing and relating to women's issues and concerns. Heidi Selecky, acqms1t1on librarian, works in a glass-enclosed office on Farley's second floor. She has the awesome responsibility of choosing books we students eventually use for reading and research. Faculty members from each department submit order cards for books they want ordered.

Once again the Colonel defense was like a brick wall as it turned away the Pioneers for three downs but on fourth down Widener finally broke the endzone. The Pioneers then tried for a two-point conversion but MAC Defensive Player of the Week Bob Wall broke it up. Widener then mustered up another score, this time on a 30 yard run. The try for two was good and with five minutes remaining the Pioneers had cut the Colonels lead to 24- 14.

All that was needed was a musician with, say, twenty years of musical experience and expertise in two instruments, guitar and harmonica. These are just two of the qualities that made the Kirk Edwards SoloConcert a fine musical experience. In spite of the noise, the show, to me, was a smash.

"An important function of this advisory group," he continues, "is to encourage, in any way possible, greater awareness of exportinf opportunities. In this way, the council will serve as a vital link between the government and the public and private sector on issues of export promotion."

First, it left only Wilkes and Susquehanna atop of the MAC. Second, it propelled the Colonels into the top ten in the nation for division III. And if the victory proved anything, it proved that the Colonels are a team, and that fact has made 1987 one heck of a season. In the past couple of games That was just on series, but it was an effort by the entire defense, players like Hopkins, Cwalinski, Maiorano, Hubert, Morgans, Wall, Klein, Dougherty, Canterella, and Habeeb, that helped control an explosive Widener attack.

Tony Vento, campus minister, said that students wishing to skip one or more meals must sign up ahead of time in Pickering Hall at the designated areas to miss a particular meal in order to credit the cost of their meal to Oxfam. Those wishing to partake in the fast will be able tp go to a fast support station in the dining hall.

Those who do not bring canned food items or wish to fast may give donations for "Feed a Friend" to WHEAT members in Stark lobby during the Campus Action Week.

Who was this man, and why was he here? Perhaps you recognized this individual as Wyoming Valley's maverick columnist, Steve Corbett, whose column appears several times each week in the Times Leader. Mr. Corbett is noted for his often controversial and always timely treatment of local, national, and global issues. Steve ·Corbett's appearance in the lobby of Stark was a prime opportunity for students to express their views openly, vent their emotions, and listen to and consider the opinions of others regarding a variety of topics. Students seemed to welcome the chance and were eager to participate in this open forum for the exchange of ideas and op1mons. After all, it's not everyday that such an opportunity presents itself on the Wilkes campus. But the days in which such an event is considered a rarity at Wilkes may very well be drawing to a close. In fact, Steve Corbett's appearance was not a one-time only esident Breiseth dresses students uesday's "Meet the Prez" · !Opher Breiseth shared of the college in answer questions. These were raised mainly about endowment and the nsc to a question about of the recent stock market the college's endowment, povided a concise answer. that although the net value of the fund has the loss is substantially below the overall market loss. The college's endowment is being handled by two firms who have been given more flexibility by the Board of Trustees to move these monies toward safer, more conservative, ends, for example bonds and cash. They were also given the freedom to return funds to the stock market if and when that alternative seems more attractive. Unless the · international economy declines radically, Breiseth feels there is little threat to Wilkes funding. Major indicators of the U.S. economy are "remarkably healthy," says Breiseth. In regard to the Belltower, Breiseth expressed a positive attitude. He believes that eventually the structure will serve to "define" the college and become an identifying symbol of the campus. He explained why work seemed to have stopped for awhile: crucial building materials were being delivered. Constuction has begun once more, and should be finished in the near future. When construction is finished, Breiseth said, most of the talk will probably be laid to rest event; it served also as an invitation to students, faculty, and staff to attend, and even more, to be actively involved in next Monday's open forum.

It seems that Wilkes students would fail miserably if asked those questions. Doors are regularly propped open so students do not have to tackle stairs in order to let other students into the dorms, and when the doors are not left propped open, students allow other students who don't live in the dorm to enter without question; that is, they allow unidentified people into the hall with the rationale that "somebody here must be expecting him/her." No list is kept of these guests; they are not required to notify anyone that they are in the hall.

The advisory board is chaired by Horace Kramer and includes representatives from the professional, business, civic and cultural community. These individuals meet periodically to review ways in which the College's continuing education programs can meet the needs of the region. The Wilkes Division of Continuing Education has received national recognition for its role in linking the campus and community, and offers a comprehensive schedule of courses each spring, fall and summer.

Recently the team traveled to Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, West Virginia for the competition in the Annual "Shenandoh Novice Fall Forensic Tournament." Wilkes sent an allfemale team to compete in the twoday tournament. At the conclusion of the competition the college's speakers had won the Second Place Overall award. In the competition for individual awards Laurie Eater won four trophies. Her victories came with a third place win in the area of entertainment competition, a second place trophy in the original persuasion oratory division, a second place honor in informative speaking, and rounding out her performance with a fifth place award for her literary program in Oral Interpretation of Prose Literature. Robyn Paisley, another new member of the Wilkes team, won a second place trophy in the entertainment division, sometimes called After-Dinner Speaking. She ~so wc:m a second place award in Oral Interpretation of Prose and finished her competition with a very impressive first place victory in the difficult field of Communication Analysis. The tournament officials recognized Ms. Paisley with an additional honor by announcing that she was the thir~ best speaker at the tournament and announcfog that she was the third best speaker at the tournament and awarding her a trophy for that distinction. Cathy Carey was the third member of the squad to bring home trophies. Ms. Carey won the third place overall award for Extemporaneous Speaking. She also won a fifth place award for her efforts in expository or Informative Speaking. The team brought eleven awards/honors back to Wilkes, and the members of the Speech/Debate Union are well on their way to establishing a new record for the number of awards won in one semester.

This week we'd like to have you get to know the leader of one of the more interesting clubs on campus. Without further adieu, this week's Campus Leader is Stephen Morris-~Circle K president. Steve is a native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School. He is a business administration major looking forward to a career in Real Estate Development As with our -other "Campus Leaders," to fully understand their positions you first must understand what their club is all about. This case is no different. To get the bottom of what Circle K is· all about, I asked Morris. He told me, "Circle K International is the largest student organization in America. We are sponsored by local Kiwanis clubs. We hold programs to help others, other non-profit organizations; we help others while having a good time ourselves." The road to presidency was a natural one for Steve. After serving a successful year as the club's treasurer, he ran for and achieved his goal of becoming president. When asked why he ran Steve replied, "We had a good year last year; it wasn't by any means correctional. I thought I could do a good job." His job includes seeing that the club is run efficiently and that communication is kept up with other Circle K's, Kiwanis clubs and high school Key Clubs. Otherwise, he says, "Each officer has his or her own duties." If the last few years are any indication, Wilkes Circle K has been doing its job ... and then some! Last year it brought home many individual and club awards from the District (which has since been abolished, leaving Wilkes Circle K to be an independant club) Convention. Steve, his board, (Michael Fender, vice-president; Jill Sowa, treasurer; Diane Paltanavage, secretary; Linda Kelly, sophomore representitive; Robert Orlando, junior representitive; and Susan Keller, senior representitive) and Wilkes' representitves on the Regional and International boards (Colleen Forlenza, regional coordinator; and Leo J. Geskey, Jr., International Trustee), have been working very hard this year to match last year's accomplishments. Morris' term as president began at the end of last year, so the club remained active, with the members who live locally, during the summer. Since that time they rave held a "Special Day for Special People," for the area's mentally handicapped, a volleyball marathon in which they raised over $200 for AIDS research, and a haunted house where they earned $2,900 for the American Cancer Society. They also co-sponsored this year's first blood drive, ushered at the Burns Alumni Bell Tower and Carillon dedication, and coat checked at the annual John Wilkes dinner. Some events for the rest of the semester include an American Heart Association skate-a-thon, and their annual "Santa-on-Wheels" project (a toys for underpriveliged children program). As I usually do, I asked Steve what being a "Campus Leader" means to him. I must say, his answer was the most unique I've received. He says, "I Continued on p. 7 • ID by Brian Dorsey Art. When will we accept a universal definition? Some consider a wild brush stroke of color slapped on canvas to be art. Others say art should be precisely measured and true to life. Stephen Sondheim wrote in a lyric, "Work is what you do for others liebchen, Art is what you do for yourself." Professor Emeritus Klaus Holm, throughout his fifteen years as technical director of the Wilkes t, Theater · and professor of theater, combined his work with his art, developing the respected theater program at Wilkes, a tradition that still stands today. Klaus Holm, a graduate of New York University and the Yale School of Drama, came to Wilkes as a visiting professor in 1970.

Darian opened with two interesting impersonations. First came his impression of the opening of a baseball game with the echoing "Star Spangled Banner," followed by a similar impression of an airport public address announcement He then went in to the bulk of his fabulous routine. This involved a great deal of television humor. Darian did his famous "Star Trek" routine along with jokes on the "Twilight Zone," and commercials. The "Star Trek" routine involved an absolutely hilarious impersonation of Captain James T. Kirk as played by William Shatner. Had I closed my eyes, I probably would have thought that it was Shatner himself. You couldn't close your eyes, though. . The impersonation was heavily visual, with body ticks, ducking, and hand motions, like Shatner used to do. He also did Scotty, Chekov, and the lovable Dr. Bones McCoy. He also asked the questions, "What did Uhura do?" and "Why can't Spock round off numbers like .9999999 to 1?" As for commercials, he wondered about the Mediprin commercial--"! haven't got time for the pain"--Fruit and .. . , oh, what's that cereal called, and he did a demonstration of a "don't do marijuana" commercial, with three takes. He moved from the TV stuff to high school guidance counselors and gym teachers, then to his fear (or embarrassment) of flying, harrassing poor pet shop animals, world leaders, a long routine about the latest installment of the "Friday the 13th" series--"Friday the 13th, part 9 billion- Jason's back and he's really pissed!-- and of course the old stand-by, sex.

Sound like a dream come true? Sound too ridiculous even to imagine? Well, you can stop dreaming because here it is--Shakespeare for the common man. "How?" you ask. Simple. All you have to do is attend a performance of "What you Will," in the Center for the Performing Arts on November 12 through the 15. That's all there is to it "What You Will" is an ingenious blend of music, comedy, and Shakespeare that will have you "rolling in the aisles" at the same lines you stared at for days in a literature class. An ability to "open up" the world of Shakespeare isn't all "What You Will" has going for it. In fact, probably its biggest asset has nothing to do with a centuries old writer. The production's biggest asset is its writer/director Dr. Michael O'Neill, director of theater at Wilkes. A graduate of Fordham University, Dr. O'Neill received his Masters and Ph .. D. at Purdue University. "What You Will" is one of many plays that Dr. O'Neill has written, and not the first that has been put into production. In 1981, the play "Comon Room" was put on at Wilkes. In addition, he has had plays produced in off-Broadway theaters and in other colleges. The original idea for "What You Will" came about three years ago for the inauguration of the Free Outdoor Summer Shakespeare The- Don & Ed ater at Wilkes. 1t was, of course, music.

I suspect Wilkes College might suffer a severe enrollment decline if students faced such a commute. There would be no worry though, if students were as dedicated and determined to complete their educations as is Mary Lou Swank, a senior accounting major from Hop Bottom, Pennsylvania, a small town six miles north of Nicholson. Mary Lou may be the only non-traditional student enrolled taking eighteen credit hours, while parenting two children, working as a parttime bartender, and maintaining a 3.85 overall academic average. There are one-hundred and sixtyeight hours in a week. Mary Lou spends sixty-eight of her one-hundred and sixty-eight hours in class, studying, or commuting. In between bites of lasagna in the SUB, Mary Lou recounted her journey to Wilkes College. Life held promise for Mary Lou when she was a seventeen-yearold high school senior enrolled in one course at Penn State University. She was determined to stay in college after graduation despite setbacks. Her father refused to pay her college tuition or support her, and since she was unable to borrow money at age eighteen, she worked two jobs. There were not enough hours in a twenty-four hour period to work, attend class, study, eat, and sleep, so at the end of 1/2 semester, Mary Lou flunked out. - The experience contributed to years of indecision about returning to college. Mary Lou confronted the college decision head-on when she became a single parent and head of the household. It was crucial she improve upon her skills to adequately provide for her children and herself, which meant she must try college again after twenty years. It would be twenty years removed from studying, tests, and strict discipline. Would she remeber how to study? Could she take a test and not forget the material? Would younger students accept her? Could hernine-year-old son and herelevenyear-old daughter cope with more household responsibilities, and a mother who would spend hours away from them and_ home? Mary Lou estimated that with the thirty-six transferrable credits, it would take two years to complete her education. But, that meant taking eighteen credit hours per semester and twelve credits in summer sessions. Mary Lou hoped grants and a scholarship would ease their financial burden, since they would be living on a "wing and a prayer," until she graduated. When Mary Lou enrolled in September, 1986, it was with the blessing and support of her children. Despite her hectic schedule, Mary Lou took extra time to share observation as a non-traditional student at Wilkes. Approximately one-third of the nation's college population is non-tradititional students. Some colleges and universities have been slow to recognize the special needs of non-traditionals. At a time when non-traditional student populations are on the increase, it is important institutions be aware and address their special needs. Mary Lou has had a gratifying student experience at Wilkes. Individual faculty and administration members have been sensitive to Mary Lou's needs as a long-distance commuter and have been helpful. Traditional students are friendly. Mary Lou reiterated the importance of traditional and non-traditional students sharing e:tperiences, as both have much to offer each other. At this time there is no organized non-traditional support group on campus. There is, however, a significant, unorganized support network of non-traditionals. These students meet in the SUB, the library, class, or the courtyard to discuss how to manage school, jobs, and family. They also compare notes on professors, courses, the honors system, and academic recognition. Would a support group be more effective if organized by a Wilkes staff person? Mary Lou thinks that might work if the organizer was personally familiar with the specific needs of nontraditional students. In six months Mary Lou will will have overcome subs riers, formed new frie discovered self-confidence, ieved a twenty-year goal. no doubt in my mind she a position in a local firm, and will begin to graduate school by May.

Again this year they look to be two of the tougher teams to beat. "As a league it looks good. There's really not one team we can single out right now. Most of the teams are pretty good," Gallagher stated. Steeber commented that "the games between Scranton and King's are going to be tough because of the city rivalries." Boyd said, "Definitly Scranton and King's will be tough games." Coach Rainey also believes the Scranton and King's games will be four of the hardest game to ·be played this season. "The toughest teams are in our division, Scranton and King's. It's been that way for years and I don't expect it to change this year," Rainey said. "We lost eight games last year. Four of those games were to them. If we're going to be a good basketball team we have to beat them (Scranton and King's)." "FDU-Madison will also be a tough team. They always give us a hard time," Gallagher said. Boyd added, "Probably all the league games will be tough, especially King's, Scranton and FDUMadison.

"I'd like to see the team win the League and MAC this year," Steeber said. "Most of the games we lost last year we should have won." Jacoby agreed with Steeber. ''I'd definitly like to win the MAC's and then go on to regionals," Jacoby said. "I feel that we have a good shot at winning our conference. To win the conference we must win the key games," Boyd replied. Rainey's feelings follow those of his players, "I would like for us to be in contention in February and to make it to the playoffs in MAC. That makes it exciting for everybody involved," Rainey said. He then added, "It takes a lot of hard work in October and November to do that . If we don't play well in December the end of the season might not mean anything, and that's what our season is all about, anyway, making it to the playoffs."

The winner of the yearly match has, in the past, been determined by the team which scratches and claws the deepest This particular contest always · carries with it a certain intensity, and this year's matchup was no -different From the opening whistle, both teams displayed high emotion. The Colonels initiated the scoring as Sean Lockhead recorded his first goal of the season. Lockhead's goal was the result of an indirect kick which was taken by John Pursell from thirty-five yards out. Lockhead accepted the indirect kick and headed it neatly into the back of the net. Wilkes seemed to have the upper hand at this point of the game, but were unable to secure the one-goal lead. With a little over a minute to play in regulation, the Monarchs capitalized on a similar situation at the opposite end of the field. The King's goal tied the score and sent the contest into overtime. Two scoreless ten minute overtimes were played and the two teams were forced to settle for a draw. This season was the final season for four of the Colonels starters. Seniors Matt Ryan, Paul Tavaglione, Gerard Piazza, and John Pursell each ended their final seasons in fine fashion Lenny Rosanoff stops a Monarch shot. As much as one hates to see the seniors of this year's team leave, one also must consider those who came into the program this year and those who shall return to play next season. At the start of the season as many as · a dozen freshmen and first year players wore the blue and gold for Wilkes. Freshmen Mike Leczycki, Chris Shenefield, and Lenny Rosanoff each received recognition this year for their fine performances. Lenczycki recorded 13 season to earn himself in Colonels scoring. added an extra threat all as Wilkes' left winger saved enough shots 10 six shutouts.

It was a game plagued by mistakes and turnovers that Juniata gladly accepted. The Indians held the Colonels on their first possession and took over at their own forty. Juniata wasted no time in putting up the first points of the game as quarterback Cubby Davis hooked up with Don Betar for a 29-yard touchdown pass. On Wilkes' next series disaster struck. A fumble gave Juniata excellent field position deep inside Colonel territory. Betar tossed and 18-yard option pass to Mike Cottle. That score gave Juniata a 14-0 lead.

Groups of guests were shown mosf of the major buildings on campus to give them a look at the college's physical facilities. They were shown the main administrative and classroom buildings, as well as some of the residence halls. From 1:15 to 3 in the afternoon, the college's academic departments held "open house" for people interested in exploring the benefits and curriculum of areas they might possibly enroll in. Representatives from each department were on hand to answer specific student questions about the discipline. Additionally, directors of Act 101, the College Learning Center, Career Services, Financial Aid, and Residence Life were available to inform students of their important services and to answer any questions they may have had concerning these areas. The Office of Admissions assembled a "comprehensive introduction" to the college to answer many of the. questions and concerns that people may have about Wilkes. It was a day for students to get to know the college by seeking information in their area(s) of interest and speaking to faculty and students as well as touring the physical facilities of the campus. Frank Kamus, associate dean of admissions, felt that the day went well. He added that "the faculty did a superb job." Three hundred young men and women attended, many of whom held individual conferences with members of the admissions staff, and several of whom participated in official interviews. The two departments which received the largest show of interest were Engineering and Health Sciences. appy Thanksgivin9 �N~l.118 PAG&:IWQ Editorial Letters to the Editor ICES: Critical criterion Colonels' Pride With the end of the semester fast approaching, students' minds are being filled with thoughts of registration, overdue papers, backed-up reading assignments, and finals. Another thing that comes with the end of the semster are the endless filling out of "bubbles" on the Instructor and Course Evaluation Forms {ICES). Every semster I hear the same thing from my fellow classmates--"Oh, no, not these things again ..." or worse yet-- "Now I can really stick it to him/her. He'll pay for that DI got on that quiz in September!" There is, of course, nothing wrong with a little healthy joking about the minor nuisance that these forms present. These forms, however, also present students with a valuable forum. How many times have you thought, "If I were teaching this course, I would do this, or I would grade this wayr' Short of going to graduate school and becoming a teacher yourself, you have very little recourse when it comes to a teacher's methods. ICES can give you a chance, if you take them seriously, to help yourself and future Wilkes students maintain the quality of education here on campus. Although we all joke about tough professors, we should want a professor who challenges us. Many times, these are the professors who are not the most popular people when it's time to study for tests or when the students are looking at their cumulative averages. Certainly, these professors are not the most popular people when it comes time to fill out evaluations. • This presents a potential problem. Can students be reliable sources of criticism? This criticism is quite.valid. These forms are used in such important decisions as the evaluation of tenure status, promotions, and salary increases. The forms can also affect the overall reputation of a professor on campus. Therefore, the way students go about filling the forms out is vital. A student who can approach the forms with an open mind, and a realization of just how vital these forms are, can probably make ~onstructive criticisms with very little bias. Students, however, who see the forms as a vehicle for revenge or as a "littl~ joke" to play on the prof really do not realize the damage they are doing, and naturally are not reliable sources of criticism. But can the who~e pr~ess _of allowing students to express their opinions be considered invalid because of the actions of vindictive students? The administrators, as well, have a responsibility to take these forms seriously. Sometimes personalities and politics take precedence over students' views. But there is no reason why politics should have to enter into any evaluation that is made of a professor's abilities. Administrators can fall into the same trap that students do. They can Jet their personal views influence how they look at a faculty member. The importance of an evaluation is not who the professor supports on the staff, or what he believes is right for the College. The real issue should be--is he doing his job and is he doing it well? The only ones who can truly indicate how a professor is doing are the students involved in the course. The ICES are perhaps the most important way for a stu~ent ~o speak out Writing a letter to the Editor, meeting the prez, or getting involved can help, but in the final estimation, the one way a student can make a direct contribution to his education is to fill out these_ forms and to take them as seriously as possible. Although certainly the students cannot be the only criterion when determining whether a professor is a good or a bad one, they are certainly integral to any valid evaluation. -~---'-'----''-'-==='----tt-t._t_~_ffl1_t_a:_C_Ott-- - - - - - - - - l ') VOL.

I was privileged to see five of this year's football games, I feel that the players of the team have good reason to take pride in their achievement even though two of the five, Wilkes lost In those two losses the team never quit. They continued to fight until the clock expired. On my way to the last game I had a thought of making a sign reading "Colonels' Pride." Unfortunately, I was already gone and I could not buy a piece of poster board to make the sign. Nothing at this game made me feel any different. Maybe the phrase "Colonels' Pride" can catch on in the manner that Penn State Proud caught on for that institution. I hope because of this letter students and alumni think this is a good idea. I already have a propsed design for a tee shirt with the inscription "Colonels' Pride." I personally feel that taking pride in this institution's sports teams' is something of the greatest importance. Arthur D. Scola Speaking Out Dear Editor: I agree with a statement made by William Barber in his column published in the November 5, 1987 issue of The Beacon. He wrote, "one of the things we learn when we grow up is when to shut up." This is a statement which I don't particularly like, but tend to agree with. There are some opinions which need to be expressed and others which are better left unsaid. No matter how old a person is, that person will find himself maturing during the college years. We learn from being around other people and expressing our opm1ons. Sometimes we don't speak up and voice our opinions when we have the chance. The golden opportunity to speak only comes once in a while. If we let that chance go by, we may regret it later. I am already regretting the times there were any questions sat there without anything At other times, we feet in our mouths. unnecessary or dcstru ments which only hurt also regret the times w spoken about one student ID on! y to find out that one told the other what I · their backs.

Then Corbett said most people have to pay their dues (even those who have gone to a four year college) before getting that higher paying job they're after. He said he thought that most students think they're going to walk out of college and get their jobs handed to them. He added, "You're wrong"!

"Hypercard" is here! This may sound like some sort of credit card from the 25th century. But, in actuality, Hypercard is a new program designed to be used with the MacIntosh computer. This piece of software allows users to generate applications without having to program. Graphical information which was never available on a MacIntosh program before is available at the mere insertion of "Hypercard." ave a demonstration on the new software. Maps, graphs, charts, lab reports, . diagrams, a day by day calendar, and a slide program can be accessed easily by those who have little or no experience in programming. Because the features of this program are hard to describe to those who have not seen its capabilities firsthand, a demonstration of "Hypercard" will be held for anyone interested on November 24th in the MacIntosh Lab (Stark 134) at 11 a.m. The demonstration, entitled "Software Erector Set" will also serve as an introduction to a course called "CS 298: Hypercard" to be taught by Dr. John A. Koch during the spring semester. Koch suggested that students desiring to take the course should have completed the CS 225 Pascal course prior to taking the CS 298 course. The session is also open to faculty members interested in learning to use "Hypercard" who have no prior programming experience. Everyone should learn about "Hypercard," a taste of the future, according to Koch. Those interested in the program may contact him at his office in Stark Learning Center room 426 or at extension 439.

Vicc-presidentGcorgeWaldner said ICES forms arc instrumental, but not the only factor in the teacher evaluation process. According to Waldner, there are three principle areas which are important in the instructor evaluation process. These are: teaching effectiveness (ICES is one of the six indices used to measure teaching cffectivness), scholarship and service. Waldner said most colleges and universities use surveys similar to ICES to get student imput. He sil.id that the idea for these forms was around at least 15 years ago and they have been used as a way of finding out how students are responding to a particular course and to a particular aspect of that course. He said that those instructors who have scored particularly low on the survey should ask themselves why students likes Hunger and Education Action Taskforce (WHEAT) is holding "Campus Action made those responses and what can Canned food is being collected in the lobby of Stark Learnin2 Center for the "Feed be done to change any problem program sponsored by Channel 16 and the Com~ission on Ec_onomic Opportunity. areas. dents will also be fasting and donating money which would paid for their meals to Dr. Umid R.

New York, New York! 1the Dr. James Rodechko, dean of College of Art and Sciences, said that the ICES forms should be only one of the many tools used in the teacher evaluation. Nevertheless, he said it is a very important tool which should not be treated lightly. He said that students should take the ICES form seriously because it will be used in the evaluation process. According to Rodechko, they are used primarily by instuctors for improvement purposes. As mentioned by Natske, Rodecko said the forms are also used by the vicepresident, deans and department chairmen. As stated by Vicepresident Walder, Rodechko said that those instructors who score low should try to find out why and see if they can correct any faults which are bought out by the survey. Dr. Stephen Tillman, professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, said about ICES: "They are not only not useful, but detremental to good teaching · -especially if administration uses it for who gets a raise and who doesn't get a raise." Tillman sees a conflict of interest. He says that to teach students in a way which is advantageous to them, he must challenge them to their limits. According to Tillman, this may mean that students will not do as well as expected on tests. He said he found a high correlation between instructors who did well on tlie ICES forms and the higher grades of tests given in class. He also found the reverse was true. Therefore, he thinks that these forms should not be used when determining salary. Dr. Brian Redmond, associate dean of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, also said the ICES forms play an important part in the evaluation process. "They are one factor among many upon which a faculty member should be evaluated. If it becomes the only factor, then it is an inappropriate use of ICES." Dr. Theodore Engel, dean of the School of Business and Economics, said the ICES forms are basically used in two ways. The most effective way of using the form, according to Engel, is the "summative" approach which indicates how an instructor ·conducted classes, what exams were like, honoring the course syllabus, and other factors by looking at the results of ICES forms over the course of time (years). He said the results should be used to · see where an instructor might be helped, not punished. He said chairmens' evaluations, self evaluations, i;Cl!r evaluations, and student evaiuations should be used together for an overall teacher evaluation. Engel said that by using them in a summative approach (over time) that the forms in combination with other material, are useful tools. He said that he only sees the use of such forms as a problem when they are misused like when "you try to draw conclusions from one set." �PAGE SIX ans veil Let's go to Butte by Lee Morrell Yes folks, it's that time again.

I guess not everyone is going to be attempting to earn funds for their college career, or whatever else they may choose to use it for, as evidenced by speaking to Andrew Morrell, a "senior-to-be" communications major from Kingston (also my brother, but that's irrelevent). "I'm going to . . . uhh . . . clean my room, . . . err . . . listen to music, . . . clean my room and listen to music!" Well as the title indicates, I'm going to attempt to give you some dandy ideas for what you can do during the not-quite-as-long..asChristrnas-but- still-almost-a-weeklong Thanksgiving break. Let's see now, what to suggest first. .. I know, you can travel. If you are a local student or staying for the holidays, you can take the historical tour of Wilkes-Barre and its surrounding area by following the helpful history of the Commonwealth signs. You could also drive to such surroundmg area meccas as Luzerne, Edwardsville, etc., and take in the breathtaking scenery. Of course, no travel itinerary would be complete without the customary tour of fine restaurants and places of enter• tainment, such as Top Dog--which is both. Or, y_ou could go to the Don & Ed: Out on LAX (the Los Angeles International Airport) of the east, the Scranton /Wilkes-Barre International Airport and just watch the planes coming in from Asia or Europe--via Philadelphia, Pittsbur_gh, Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy and other REAL airports. I'm sure you could do these similar things at your own home. Traveling isn't the only fun thing to do during these short breaks. You could always get yourself involved with all sorts of various mischief. You could steal a car, rob a bank, kill a man (or woman to soothe the feminist), or set a fire. All 'of which will keep You could always photo copy the library, I did! you from returning to five to twenty years mi break ends. (I'm ki dDn't listen to me!) There are always the ordinary things to you ask, "is an out of thing?" Let's see, you a local airport, one of plane varieties, and take ing classes. You could to Butte, Montana to fi You could add a recr your house. You could library and make a ph every page of every av and magazine and pcri you get the picture.

After that watch the reruns of "The A Thanksgiving Special. you're a glutton for video tape them and again, and again, and yet Finally, as my Dan Rowe suggested, w home and do homew projects and the like. think that is a truly silly· a limb rtain's year 101 e tribute exhi : Stages In a successful e ovember 14, n, Professor 50 guests, inc nt Cue 'n' C ulty, family, xhibit is a More cartoons & Scruffy the .C Help me! Help me! I've gone too far! Well, I guess I should have known better. In our last column I reminisced with you about cartoons and I've been a mess ever since. I can't sleep! I can't eat! I can't concentrate on trivial things, like Stat class! I even woke up on Saturday morning and watched the test patterns for a half an hour just to see those animated aggrevators! All week long visions of "George of the Jungle" and "Ricochet Rabbit" danced through my head. So, once and for all, I will expell, in print, all of these retained ponderances of cartoons and then move on to bigger and ... well bigger things. To start, this one has bothered me for a long time. In those Walt Disney cartoons we have Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the others. But, just what the heck is Goofy? WHAT IS HE? Is he a horse? Is he a dog? Now if he is a dog, Pluto should be pretty ticked. Why doesn't Pluto ever get a speaking part? He doesn't even get to wear clothes! But if Goofy isn't a dog, what is he? I guess some things are better left unknown. The Smurfs-- Now just how many of them are there? Let's see, there's Papa Smurf, Hefty Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Lazy Smurf, Jokey Smurf, etc ... , but what about the ones that we don't see on the show? Wouldn't it be interesting to see, oh, I don't know, someone like Pyromaniac Smurf,.or Bladder Control Problem Smurf, or maybe an Albino Smurf. Show the kids some realism. And something else about the show that I've noticed; of all of those hundreds of Smurfs there is only ~ girl! Either she must have some incredible stamina or it is one sticky scene in the Smurf shower room. Sqiddily Diddily-- And just what is .ill<? Is he an octopus? He only has four tentacles. Is he a squid? His head ain't pointy. And just how does he walk around on land all day without dying or shrivelling up? Droopy Dog-- I was always amazed at how fast he could run. I mean, he'd be standing in one place and then all of a sudden he would run real far away over a mountain or something and then come back; and all in the span of like one second. Impressive! Scooby Doo-- Now, Scooby and Shaggy are either very desperate or very dumb. They'll go into some old, run down house full of bats and rats and spiders; go into this dust filled kitchen, find a piece of food AND EAT IT! He-Man-- The people on HeMan must all work out together or be on the same diet, or something. Everyone of those guys has the same physique! If their skin color didn't differ you wouldn't know one from the other. And just what did happen to Skeletor that he is all big and muscular but has no facial tissue? And now the time has come.

For those who came expecting a traditional Shakespeare tragedy or comedy, they were treated to "a smattering of this and a few notes of that." "What You Will" was an interesting play in that it informed while it entertained. The play began with a huge company number to welcome the audience and proceeded to a well acted and highly comic version of The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death 'of Pyramus and Thisby, then it quickly moved on to a scene that posed such questions, upon the life of Will Shakespeare as "When was he born?", "How did he go to the bathroom?", and, the biggie, "Was he gay?" ~e play ~en_ 1?<>k a sh~ left tum mto the Tw1hght ,Zone and ~e met the Bard,_ Shakespeare, on his own turf. I~ this scene, a few myths were dispelled and a few , more were created. The audience was treated to well acted, comic renderings of such classics as Othello, MacBeth, The Taming of the Shrew, and a ten minute version of 1/amlet ("with an encore!") The accompanying slide show was an added treat; not something one would expect to see at the theatre. The pictures were timed and placed to accompany the action on stage and they were very effective (and almost eerie) in certain scenes, such as the intense scene between Claudio and his sister, Isabella, in Measure for Measure .. The band that accompanied the show was very talented and certainly added much to the per-formance. The play was a blend of the old and new, using scenes from Shakespeare and from plays based upon the Bard's, such as West Side Story, "Kiss Me Kate" and "Hair". What You Will was definitely one of the more memorable performances put on here at Wilkes in recent days. It was thoroughly enjoyable and certainly a 'new" way to spend a Friday or Saturday night here at Wilkes! For quite a few folks, the name "Will Shakespeare" will no longer strike fear in their hearts and minds as they contemplate yet another literature class or term project but, instead, will bring Above is Bill Barber with a bunch of unidentified William Shakespeares caught during a final dress rehearsal for the Wilkes production of "What You Will." a smile to their faces and a chuckle to their lips as they as they reach for the Riverside Shakespeare textbook. by Bullstradamos "the all-knowing Bovine." A different perspective The show by Bill Barber The show is over. The set has been dismantled. The rented costumes have been returned and the cast party is but an ocean of empty beer cans and pretzels ground into the carpet Doing Dr. Michael ONeill's What You Will was an experience none of us will forget • including my friend Veronica. I asked her what she thought of the show. "Oh, it was wonderful. Michael ONeill must be a genius. And the actors, my goodness, so much talent! John Domzalski is just brilliant! He really chews up the scenery," Veronica said. I started to fix cocktails. "Well, I suppose, if you like deviled ham ... " I offered. "No, I mean it," Veronica said. "That scene from Othello with Lisa ONeill--stunning. I got goose bumps. Rob Johansen was terrific, too. The scene with Jane Erb was wonderful. Rob sure is a versatile actor. So many different parts, and all done so well!" "Well, I suppose, if you like bald spots," I said. "Don Semyon cracked me up as Juliet," Veronica went on. "And that Chris Brunnock is just adorable. She made a very good Kate." "Well, I suppose, if you like freshmen," I grumbled. "But, oh, Brian Dorsey. What • IS over a dreamboat! He was my favorite," Veronica sighed. I poured some Beefeater gin into a small pitcher and added ice. "But what about me?" I asked. "Oh, honey, you were fine, but I didn't know Jeff Eline was such a good singer. Bob Wachowski was good too, and so were Dana Stago and Michele Mazzei. And I had no idea Andrea Kocerha could speak French." "French?!" I said. "I thought that was Serbo-Croatian." "And Romeo, what was his name? Robert Michaels? What a hunk! Did you know his eyes are the exact same color as his hair? Truly gorgeous, really," she breathed. "Sure, after three hours in the make-up room, who wouldn't be?" I mumbled. Veronica took a deep breath and sighed. "But all in all, I still think my favorite was Brian Dorsey. What a doll!" I put a drop or two of dry vermouth into the gin and stirred it gently with a glass swizzle. "But what about me?" I asked again. "Did you like Me?!" "O, honey, you were fine. The whole show was great, really. The band sounded terrific. That. Dixieland they played at the beginning of Act Two, I really liked that. Mike Williams is really good on the tmmpet. 0, every-• thing was. really well done. I If I were a Wilkes Trustee! thought the show was quite professional, technically speaking." "Are you kidding?!" I demanded. "They blew my light cue! Twice!" I was practically shouting. "I have to hand it to the prop and stage managers, Michele Palmieri and Maureen O'Hara," Veronica said. "They really must have had their hand:, full." "Well, yeah. One does have to remember to thank all the little people, too." I said. "But I don't know," Veronica said, "I just have to say that Brian Dorsey was really superb." I set out two chilled glasses, put an olive in each, and strained the martinis in over the olives. Like two big green eyes they seemed to stare at ·me, daring me to ask my next question. "What about my song?" I was practically begging. "Did you like my song?" "O, heney, that was lousy," Veronica said. "What!?" I demanded. "My song was lousy?!" "Too slow," she said. "And chopped in half. It didn'i make any sense. Were you off key?" she asked, blinking her big blue eyes at me. I drank my martini in silence. • And when Veronica started to tell me what a good dancer she thought Brian Dorsey was, I drank her's, too. I don't know why everyone gets down on the Bell Tower. I thinks it's a good idea, plus it looks great. I know that the norm of our school would rather see the money for the Bell Tower go towards something ·else like dorm renovation, that new gym we are supposed to get before the Apocalypse, or other less important Boondoggles like that. Yet, what everyone does not know is that the money for our Bell Tower does not come from our tuition, but from a private group of donors, and this is the reason for our College building us this monument. These donors want a bell tower, and if they pay for it, well, why not? I thought about this for a while and I came to the conclusion that if I ever became very rich, and had a few million to throw around, I could have a lot of fun with this College. I would invest money in my alma mater, and buy many nice little buildings, dorms, and equipment: You name it, spare no expense. I would turn this place into one of the nicest schools in the country. Yet, my show of wealth, and donation would come with only a few little demands. First, I would like to change the name of our library. Well, not really change it, just spice it up a little.

The blame, if that is what you call it, goes to The Beacon sports department; more specifically Beacon Sports Editors, Lisa "Niblet" Miller and Bill "Willy" Kem. They have been working their little tushies off. The Beacon is very proud of the job they are doing. So, due to there diligence, there never seems to be enough room for "Trivia '87." Well, as you can surely tell, a hole opened up, and I emerged carrying ball! So much has happened since we last spoke, so I'll try to hit the high points of the athletic year. In professional football we had a strike, replacement games, scabs, returning players, and surprises. "What surprises," you ask. Let's see, The Colts, The Chargers, The Oilers, The Saints, The Raiders, Buddy Ryan, and Eric Dickerson. In college football Syracuse, Notre Dame, Florida State, and upset minded Pitt are the unexpected big winners. Oklahoma, Miami, and Nebraska are the predictable big winners, while 1986 National Champs Penn State had a disappointing season. Look for Notre Dame's Tim Brown or Pitt's Craig "Ironhead" Heyward to take the Reisman. In baseball the "afraid to leave home" Minnesota Twins took the series by winning all four at home, something never before done in series play. Post-season awards are as follows: NL manager of the year--Buck Rogers, Montreal; AL manger of the year--Sparky Anderson, Detroit; NL Cy Young--Steve "Bedrock" Bedrosian, Philadelphia; AL Cy Young--Roger Clemens, Boston (2nd straight); NL Rookie of the year--Benito Santiago, San Diego; AL Rookie of the year--Mark McGwire, Oakland; AL MVP George Bell, Toronto (the first Dominican and First member of a Canadian team to win the honors); and no NL MVP as of yet. My guess, Andre Dawson, Chicago. Also, the professional hockey and basketball seasons opened last week. The Lakers are defending their title well by jumping out to an undefeated start. NHL champs, the Edmonton Oilers, with points leader Wayne Gretzkey, are also off to a strong start. One hockey controversey has popped up. Dave Brown, a Flyers defenseman, got a measely 15 game suspension for attempting to break the jaw of Ranger, Tomas Sandstrom. Ranger coach Michel Bergeron, stated that a normal criminal on the street would get ten years in jail for that crime. Oh well, sports is sports, right? On to the business at hand, on to TRIVIA. Let's do it! The college football season is winding down, Pitt beat Penn State, bowl bids are coming out, Nebraska faces Oklahoma, and Ohio State fired their coach.

Starting at 118 will be junior Brian Bauer. Last year Bauer compiled a 17-2 record and should 134. "Miller is probably one of the smartest wrestlers on the team, and we look for good things from him," said Reese. Backing up Miller will be Gavin McGinty. Junior Frank Castano will start at 142. "Frank has a lot of talent and we feel he could have a real good year for us," stated Reese. Due to an mJury to Frank Goldowski, Coach Reese will have to shuffle his middle weights around till Goldowski's return. Wrestling at 150 will be sophmore Tony Diaz or freshman Shawn Galbreath. Last year Joe Iannuzzi returned to wrestling after a year layoff and compiled a 15-6 record. "I really expect a good year out of Joe. He's a hard worker with a lot of potential," said Reese.

As in all big games special team play can tum a team around. Saturday's game was no different. Lycoming's Frank Gerardi returned a Harold Magnotta punt 78 yards for the first score of the game. In the second quarter the Colonels got their offense in gear. Behind the passing of Carl DeLuca the Colonels moved the ball to the Lycoming seventeen-yard line. The Warriors got tough, but Sean Megley was able to kick a twentyseven-yard field goal to close the Lycoming lead to 7-3. The Wilkes defense held the Warriors and gave the offense the ball in good field pos1t1on. DeLuca wasted no time as he hit a wide open P.J. Salazzo for a twentytwo-yard strike. Megley's PAT was good and the Colonels had a 10-7 lead. The second half was dominated by both defenses. Lycoming was able to muster the only score of the second half.

Actual demolition on the new gym will probably begin at the end of February or beginning of March according to Charles. Plans for the Sports and Conference Center are currently being discussed. John Pesta, Auxiliary affairs administrator and Assistant Director od Facilities Management and Purchasing, said the basement of the new center will contain weight training rooms, locker rooms, lavs, a laundry room, two multi-purpose rooms, (one which may be used for hockey) and wrestling room. A room is also being constructed which may later serve as a sauna. The huge feature on the first floor will be a large gym floor. Initially, bleachers from the present gym which have a seating capacity of about 1,400 will be used, but space will be left for additional bleachers according to Pesta.

Last week, workers from the Sordoni Construction Services Inc. placed a tree on top of the construction site located in the quadrangle bounded by Kirby, Chase and Church Halls to celebrate "topping it off." The brick and mortar outer stucture of the 61 foot tall bell tower is finished except for the copper roofing, according to Richard Charles, vice-president of college advancement. The construction which began in late September was due to be completed around the time of the dedication ceremony during Homecoming week. According to John Chawlck, special assistant of college advancement, the carillon and bells will be shipped and delivered to the College on December 18th. According to Sordoni construction workers, Chawlck said, the tower and carillon should be completed around the Christmas vacation. Chawlck and other administrative members believe the belltower will serve as a central landmark of the . college as well as an intellectual symbol.

To the Advertising Manager: I've had enough chlorthalidone and isosorbide dinatrate. For the past 7 weeks or so, I've been enduring a 3/4 page ad (usually on page 10) for drugs (Go ahead and turn; it's probably there). Is this the kind of ad that should be run in a college newspaper? Now, I'm just like the next guy. I don't mind worthwhile ads in the paper. Last year, I endured a full page cassette ad for many weeks. That was OK 'cause students could relate to it. But this ad is not right at all. 41 types of drugs . . . for college students? I don't see the logic. Maybe if this were a senior citizen paper, or a paper for a community in which the standard of health was not so great .. . But on a college campus?? Are you nuts? (If so, you can get valium for 21, 32, or 52 cents per tablet). The decision to run this ad was for money. I understand that advertising money runs newspapers. But next time, think of students when ~·ou run an ad. Analyze your audience. The Beacon is for students FIRST. Just fiv<; minutcs of sensible planning can make both advertising money and happy Imagine the scene . . . The Beacon , Wilkes College's favorite publication, being ripped from its familiar distribution sites, being flung into garbage cans across the campus, being wasted, students being deprived of the weekly news, the feature stories, being denied their pipeline to the College. Sound like some kind of sick nightmare? Sounds like a nightmare, but this scene could very well become a reality. In fact, something very much like this scene became a reality at King's College, our counterpart right down the street. On Novemeber 14, most of the copies of the King's College paper, The Crown , were removed from their distribution points. No, this removal was not due to the many fans of the publication greedily tearing it from the newsstands. The copies were removed because within the paper was an ad for Planned Parenthood, an agency that provides birth control services. The removal of the papers from the distribution points occurred on "College For a Day," an annual King's College event that gives prospective King's students and their parents a chance visit -and learn about the school. Now you may think, no big deal; the school did what it had to do to protect its image. King's is a Catholic school; it wouldn't look right to have an ad for birth control in its paper. No big deal, right? Wrong. It is a big deal. Regardless of the reasons for the removal of the paper, the removal was a form of censorship. And after this incident occurred, an advertising policy was drafted by The Crown staff prohibiting ads for abortion referrals and contraceptive products. Still, the question must be asked--why was the ad run in the first >----~-~-----place? Obviously, the staff of The Crown must have discussed the appropriateness of the ad before actually printing it. Obviously, the staff of The Crown is well aware of the views of the Catholic Church. However, they had made a sort of unofficial policy by running the ad in the first place. Now, all of a sudden there appears a policy, originating from The Crown staff, that prohibits these type of ads. The ads, King's College maintains, could hurt the image of the school. The damage from the ad, the College says, outweighs the benefits. But who should be the judge? The whole situation is frightening. If school officials can remove the newspaper at will, if they can violate the right to free press in light of an ad, what is going to stop them from doing it on any other occasion, for any other reason? Certainly, censorship could not be an by M. E. Evers (with official policy--at least not a policy that any college would openly admit apologies to Charles Dickens) to. However, although it is not a policy, this cannot prevent colleges from exerc1smg this kind of subtle strong-arm tactic. "T1s the night before The key to a student newspaper is just that--the students. The Christmas. . . ." students at King's made a decision to run the Planned Parenthood ad. . . . and Wilkes students are The Crown's editor-in-chief obviously beleived the ad was a benefit--a still on the highways and byways benefit for the students for whom the paper was designed.

Making Campus Information an easily accessible and approachable source of knowledge is Dippre's job, and the students, faculty, and administration of Wilkes all can play a role in defining just who Dippre is, does, and can be for them. The Information Desk is what the people here make it, and those who are involved with Wilkes agree that a college community such as our own should be centered around some common, friendly point. Having a perso11 who can span the distances between departments, buildings, and happenings is a pos1uve step toward College cohesiveness. By helping to make Dippre's job a significant part of campus life, the people at Wilkes are helping themselves. Ebeneezer grabs his coat and hat and runs out of Weckesser whistling Christmas carols. · His secretaries look at each other, confused. "Wonder what got into him?" one says. "Don't question it Let's just go home. I'm just glad to get the time off. It looks like this will be a merry Christmas after all." From that day forward, Wilkes never again had school on December 23--or the 24, either. And it was said from then on, over punch and cookies at the faculty Christmas parties, that Ebeneezer Breiseth was a man who knew how to keep Christmas--and keep it well. Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men! �PAGE FOUR- December 10, 1987 WHEAT: semester achievements WHEAT (Wilkes Hunger Education and Action Taskforce) formed this year as a student organization devoted to increasing campus awareness about domestic and world hunger. Spearheaded by Tony Vento, campus minister, the group set several goals for the semester to involve interested students in action and awareness processes toward fighting world hunger. The Hunger Banquet was a symbolic luncheon that allowed participants to experience the proportional division of wealth in the world, as well as the relative types of food eaten by each division. Attendees, which included administration, faculty, and students, were Opinion divided randomly into three groups against world hunger.

Land of the free by Lenny Skursky A major item in these past fi _u.s .the Cuban ~ - u,6 ~ problem. -Americans were - alarmed when they discovered that thousands of refugees were being held in detention centers, and some were to be sent back to the oppressive system they escaped from. Even though they burnt buildings and held hostages, these poor refugees recieved the sympathy of most Americans. The question is: Why? For an answer I looked to history. Before 1962, Cuba was controlled by a violent dictator; a man who ruled with an iron glove. His regime consisted of elaborate palaces for the rich, elegant hotels and casinos for the tourists and the worst of all possible conditions for the poor. In 1962, Cuba had a revolution, and the regime of Batiste was overthrown. Within 24 hours of the revolt, most of the generals, police chiefs, and other corrupt officials who maintained this evil system, were on planes or boats fleeing for their miserable lives. As is the norm following any revolution, America accepts all the refugees. And, as in this case, questions not their crimes against humanity. Soon after these robber barons came, the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends of the first escapee. The only crime of this second group was to look away from the atrocities the first group committed. Then Castro announced that Cuba was now communist. Now the boats were full of the rest of the middle class. But all the refugees were now called "the lucky few who escaped the terrors of communism." Over the years, more and more Cubans found their way to America.

ID The new logo The new Wilkes logo came about with a recognized need for a visible symbol representing the college. According to Jane Manganella, director of public relations, the logo and signs will make identification of campus structures much easier. Eventually, all major buildings on campus will have signs. Previous to the creation of the logo, there were no clear signs to inform visitors and the general public of the college's buildings. A question concerning the status of the traditional college seal arose from several college factions. "The [college] seal is entirely different and . . . will be used where appropriate," said Manganella. The new "W" was designed by a Philadelphia firm, Signtactics, and adopted by the Presidential · Cabinet for use on campus. The logo also replaced the Colonel on folders, keychains, and other traditional trinkets and paraphenalia New regional alcohol program to benefit community The college announced the creation of a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Center on campus to serve the region. A renewable grant of $64,000 from. the U.S. Department of Education was procured for this purpose. The Center will serve as an educational training resource for the county's 12 school districts.

College-owned vending machines replaced all of the contracted machines formerly found on campus this year. This move provided an increased profit from sales in the machines by eliminating a "middleman" as well as increased control of this profit by the Business Office. As in the past, profits will go mostly to student activity groups. Overall, profits should outweigh the costs of the replacement. This event has not been without its share of controversy, however. The question of whether or not condoms and cigarettes should be sold in the machines raised considerable dust With the spread of AIDS, the use of protection against sexually transmitted disease is a growing concern. Condoms are now available for pwchase in the college booksto~ and are available free of charge m the Health Services Office. A committe.e was formed to determine what items would be sold in the vending machines; eventually it recommended to the President's cabinet that condoms be sold in separate machines placed "discreetly" in every residence hall. The cab~net approved this recommendation. According to Paul O'Hop, vicepresident of business affairs, 19 dispensers have been ordered and will be installed over the Christmas break. Each machine will hold 120 condoms for discreet pwchase. The committe.e also agreed unanimously to discontinue sales of cigarettes_in the machines. Peace pole erected in Stark courtyard "May Peace Prevail On Earth" proclaims the peace pole erected in the courtyard of Stark Leaming Center. The pole was the gift of visiting Japanese actress, Chik:ae Ishikawa. While visiting WilkesBarre this summer, she decided to extend the message of peace to the college community by providing a visual message. The quotation is inscribed on the pole in four languages: English, Polish, Hebrew and Arabic. Polish was chosen because of the large local population of this heritage, and the latter two due to the need for peace in the Middle East New logo: Homecoming weekend: bonfire, dorm displays, king and queen Homecoming Weekend began Thursday (10-27) night with the spirited bonfire. The Wilkes cheerleadets and Colonel led the crowd in cheers as the fire raged. The newly elected football tri-captains tossed an effigy of the opposition into the towering flames. Student Government ~sident John Rosania read the names of the nominees for the 1987 Homecoming Court as the crowd roared wildly. President Christopher Breiseth then read the names of the eight finalists. These were: Matt Ryan, Mike Zobel, Brian Dorsey, Ed Gallagher, Kristen Kolensky, Leah Kulikowski, Sue Novobilski, and Michele Novobilski. After this, George Ralston, dean of student affairs emeritus, led the cheerleaders and finalists in the traditional "Go Wilkes!" cheer. Friday afternoon, club and , dorm displays were judged on such things as originality and ~tsmanship. The best overall display was McClintock Hall with its "Lebanon Valley Cemetery" display. Dorm members worked "under pressure" to make banners, hang bats from tree branches, and make a dummy of the dead Lebanon Valley quarterback. Cue 'N Curtain garnered the award for best club display. Their display was twofold . First, there was a bell tower facsimile with a sign proclaiming "The Cue 'n Curtain Ringing the Way to Victory." Second, a huge silver shovel was half-buried in the ground and read: "We're Burying the Opponents." The best dorm display was won by Waller South. The theme was "The Dedication" and consisted of a ship entitled the S.S. Waller, a sign saying "We dedicate this ship for the Wailers," as well as a champagne bottle and glass, balloons and streamers: Saturday afternoon was the big Homecoming football game against Lebanon Valley. The Colonels dusted the Dutchmen in a 41-20 victory. Unfurling banners along the fence around the field revealed the enthusiasm of a charged crowd. The electricity soared at halftime . when Breiseth announced the names of the King and Queen: . ~d Gallagher and Michele Novobilski.

Having met him, I can honestly say, he was the nicest person to perform. The next show was another installment of the Solo-Concert Series. The artist was female folk singer Patty Larkin. The combination of her songs and her voice made her show most enjoyable. As I've heard so often, "The broad can (could) sing!" Musicians and lecturers weren't the only people brought to Wilkes. We also had comedians. The next show involved a comedian named Tim Cavanagh. Cavagnagh was famous for his comedy renditions of songs for the Dr. Dcmento radio show. Although I missed this show I heard he was very funny. The next installment of the Solo-Concert Series brought a different brand of music to us. This was the music of Kirk Edwards. The only way to categorize this music would be as rockin' country. It was fast moving, foot tapping country style music that kept the packed Stark lobby musically satisfied.

Now I realize that there are some things one should never tackle in the open torum: motherhood, apple pie, the flag, and, oh sin of sins, football! I also know that a large portion of our society feels that football is the sport of the gods, and I would gladly leave it alone to enjoy that status, except for the fact that there is a limit to just how much football one can watch without turning into a mental mudspot Here's your typical family getting together for Christmas.

These are only predictions from what I've seen or heard about the following films.: #1 Empire of the Sun (Dec. 11)- A Steven Spielberg · directed film which shows the invasion of Shanghai by iapanese military forces in 1941. The story is told through the eyes of a young boy. The preview clips look extremely lavish for this film. It's first on my list! #2 street (Dec. 11)A multimillionaire corporate raider (Michael Douglas) is pitted against an aspiring young trader (Charlie Sheen). It's directed by Oliver Stone (Platoon). This film should be interesting at the time of the "Crash of '87." Daryl Hannah also stars. #3 Eddie MUIJ)hy, Raw (Dec. 18)A concert movie promoting his current "Raw" tour. I saw Murphy live in October at wan Maryland. The material should be basically the same--hilarious! #4 Batteries Not Included (Dec. 18)A Spielberg Chritmas comedy about little living machines from space. They come to earth to save tenement inhabitants from getting the boot out of their homes: Good · idea! Should pack lots of laughs. #5 Leonard--PartIV (Dec. 18)He's as much fun as Eddie Murphy, and now he has a new comedy/suspense film coming out. Bill Cosby plays the art of a restauranteur who comes out of retirement to fight a plot that would rid the world of all animals. Good luck Bill! #6 Throw Momma from the Train (Dec. 18)Danny Devito's mother is a menace, and he wants Billy Crystal to do her in. I LOVE IT! That says enough.

Then everyone could shed those clumsy uniforms, put' on a sweater and go to the movies. No? My idea is getting nixed, badly. The Game is on, and after that game there is another game coming on. And then there's tomorrow's game. The BIG GAME! What can that be? Is the ball bigger? Or are the uniforms multicolored? What's the difference? Sooner or later the ball is going to go to one end of the field and then back to the other end of the field, and conversation will be limited to grunts and groans and "O boy's." The ladies will keep fussing over the Holiday trimmings and the men have reduced themselves to shouting at the television and we call this a Holiday? Pardon me if I'm yawning.

Her physical play will definitly strengthen our front line," said Kest. Freshman Kelly Ruff was a three year letter winner and team captain at Schuykill Haven, PA.
