The operator of the truck responsible for the fatal accident resulting in the death of freshman Craig Piatt was allegedly driving under influence of alcohol according to a Wilkes-Barre police report. According to police, Charles P. Yurgaitus Jr. was traveling north on South Pennsylvania A venue when his van hit Piau's · vehicle heading west on East ' Northampton Street last Friday.

January is Freedom of the College Student Press month. A simple statement, but a statement that now more than ever takes on increased importance. On January 13, the Supreme Court ruled 53 in favor of a decision that gives public school officials the power to censor "school newspapers, plays, and other school-sponsored expressive activities." It would seem this is a contradiction in terms. How can expressive activities be truly expressive when expression is being curbed? Although ostensibly this ruling has nothing directly to do with Wilkes College or private institutions in general, the reverberations from this decision could serve to shake the foundations of even private and public colleges and universities and their publications. Although this ruling does not directly apply to the running of college publications, the resulting effects can set a dangerous precedent: people "in charge" wielding supreme power over a very fragile freedom of the press. This precedent, whether it be set in high schools, in colleges, or in kinderga_rtens, is astounding. The Supreme Court's rationale for its ruling stated that in activities that are "part of the school curriculum and might seem to carry its imprimatur, officials may bar dissemination of student statements about drugs, sexual activity, pregnancy, birth control, contested political issues and other matters when doing so would serve any valid educational purpose [my italics]." The broadness of this statement, especially, of the closing line, sets up student publications and public school students in general for extreme censorship. Essentially, whoever is in charge has not only the ability, but the right, to take away the constitutional rights of another merely because they are in a school situation. Consider for a moment that if these student statements were made outside of the public school atmosphere, there would be no doubt about the violation of rights. What this kind of selective censorship amounts to is thought control--a stifling of expression. This can result in irreparable damage to the learning process and maturing process in general, the same process that formal education is supposed to guide. Ideally, high school is supposed to prepare students to enter into the working world or into the academically rich life of a college campus. Censorship of a publication by a principal deprives the student body of these essential growth experiences. The students are being stifled because they are not being given the opportunity to express valid opinions about subjects that they feel are important to them. Whether this opportunity is being stifled , because of the students' inexperience, or for the benefit of the school's image, or just because the subject matter is delicate, is immaterial. School newspapers should be intended as forums for people to come together, get the unbiased news, use that news and form their own opinions. A newspaper is not intended to be a voice for administrative propaganda or an image building device. How can students be expected to learn and think outside of the school situation ii their rights are denied them in school? Expression of thoughts is vital to maturation, vital to the formation of an intellectual identity. Censorship not only denies the student of his rights, but also of a major cornerstone in his intellectual growth. Granted, there are some cases where perhaps it is necesssary to edit student publications. In the cases of obscenity and libel, it would be logical for schools to discuss the removal of articles with the student editors. The line between editing and censorship is a fine one, however, and one that by any means should not be crossed. The right to free speech is not one that young . people should have to fight for, and it should not become a right that is available only to those who are in control. Free speech is, and should remain, just that--free. 1988 College Calendar Spring Semester !'988 (70 Days) Wednesday, February 17, 1988 10 p.m. Monday, February 22, 1988 8:00 a.m. Friday, March 25, 1988 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, 1988 8:00 a.m. Friday, May 6, 1988 5:00 p.m. Monday, May 9, 1988 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 14, 1988 4:30p.m. Sunday, May 22, 1988 11 :00 a.m. Wiriter Break Classes Resume Easter Break Classes Resume Classes End Final Exams Begin Final Exams End Commencement A pawn in their 2ame No more hump day: Wednesday is gone! by ME.Evers "Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel." Anybody remember that old commercial jingle? Well, it's back again--direct from the College that brought us the belltower that serenades a Pennsylvania campus with "Carolina Moon." . . . back in a slightly altezed form, that is. You see, last Wednesday was a very special day at Wilkes College. No, no one gave out swldaes, buyone-get-one-free. They didn't even give out ice-cream sandwiches. Yes, W edriesday was Monday at Wilkes. Doesn't sound like a big deal, really; the most that could have happened because of the College's little calendar-switch was that some uninformed students might have missed one or two day classes and a night class. No big deal there, since insuring that students get to their classes on time isn't really all that vital. · But there are staggering implications in Wilkes' casual calendar switch. After all, what does Monday mean to you? What images are conjured up by that innocent sixletter word? Blue Monday. Washday Monday. "Monday, Monday." (All right, so maybe we can leave the Mamas and the Papas out of this.) First day of the workweek Monday. Have to get up early after the weekend's excesses Monday. Now think about the implications of making Wednesday Monday.

Mr. Berg said that while this is their goal, it will take a long time due to cost. While it is still far too early to gauge the campus response to the phones, it appears that feelings about their installation are divided. From the responses Berg has recieved, there are many who are strongly opposed to the new system, while there are also many who are totally in favor of it. Until the campus has had time to become acclimated to the new system, Berg feels it is unfair to judge it, favorably or unfavorably. told his parents, Dr. Cummings A. and Trudy Downs Piatt, how happy he was here and how much he liked the guys in his hall and how much those guys meant to him.

The fence that has blocked the sidewalk all these weeks has disappeared, and the arches (or trellises) are now completed. The opinion I have come in contact with lately has, for the most part, been a negative one. In the eyes of students I have talked to, the belltower is an unnecessary , phallic symbol which gets in the way and can even be an eyesore. The belltower is an expensive addition to our campus, and ~ we do have many other uses for the money, but I think that the bell tower is actually a positive addition to Wilkes College. Although the belltower may not blend well with Chase and Kirby Halls, it is a great tool to help students find out just how late they are when going to class. In fact; my first reaction to it reminded me of Sesame Street when the gang sings "Which one of these is not like the other? Which one of these doesn't belong?" But soon I began to think about what the belltower represents. Wilkes College needs a center of activities, · and according to Vice President Charles, this idea had been under consideration since the 50's. On Tuesday, January 26, V. P. Charles met with some of the alumni leaders for a luncheon. The leaders are quite excited about the belltower. Thirty years ago, the students of Wilkes College anxiously collaborated to begin a tradition of togetherness on our campus. Obviously, all of us will not be satisfied with the belltower. But, is it really such a bad thing? Today, as I passed by the belltower, it rang. The bells sounded really pleasant, and actually I was surprised. I'm far from scolding anyone for . disliking the belltower, because we are all entitled to our own op1ruons. I just thought I'd approach the belltower from a different angle, denying the "vogue" hatred everyone seems to carry for it. I found out some interesting facts from V. P. Charles about it. The bells are computer operated from inside Chase Hall. They can ring automatically, or a keyboard console called a carillon .can be played by a musician. The mus1cum is known as a. carolincur. Charles also told me the tones sound from the structure every 15 minutes. The bells are known as Westminister Chimes. Each time the bells ring, they are heard for longer periods of time. When the clock strikes the hour, the bells ring the longest. Another special feature of the belltower is the fact that it can play different songs. A musical set can be heard from the tower at 9:00 am, noon, and 6:00 pm. According to Charles, the music plays at 9:00 a.m. so that the day gets off to a positive start,' and during meal times they ring because that is the time when most of the students are passing beneath the structure. The schedule on Sundays is slightly different The music plays at noon and 6:00 pm'. I can hear you laughing at what I am saying, but music can make Wilkes-Barre come alive. I feel that complaining only makes things worse. In fact, many local people really enjoy the belltower, and are pleased that something so beneficial has been added to Wilkes College. , It seems that the arches that 'we walk beneath on the way to dass are unnecessary. But V. P. Charles told me that they -provide kind of a division between the belltower and the yard surrounding it. Hopefully in a few -years a vine may begin to grow along the arches, and the belltower may begin to blend in with the rest of the school atmosphere. If the arches seem awkward to you, , try to picture the belltower without them. (It may collapse on top of_ l'.Qll , so be glad the arches exist.) The belltower looks as if it is just about completed, but the hands and numbers have to be added to the face of the clock. Also, the surrounding landscape has to be altered.

My opinion is obvious. I support the belltower because of .what it rem:esents. I'm the first ito admit that it doesn't really fit !in with our Victorian campus, but it means a lot to some people (Dr. Burns and a lot of the Alumni), so why can't we do o~ best to appteciate the gift?

I smiled and thanked her for it. Well, I tried the sweater on. I even began to like it. The · belltower reminds me of my green sweater. It was -a gift, and it was given in appreciation and love. Is it right to sit back and criticize someone else's efforts? How would you feel if you gave someone a present and they said 4 it was the wrong color, or criticized it in some other way? We are doing exactly that by saying that the belltower is useless. It is there, and at this point there is nothing we can do about it. Let's make the best of ' it. The bells can break up a monotonous day, and soon the clock will tell us what time it is. If we think positively, the · belltower won't seem so bad after all.

I'm interested in exotic people and eccentric ideas. I want to be an audacious gypsy roaming the earth, touching as many souls as I possibly can during this lifetime. I don't like many sports, but soccer is my favorite for two reasons: playin~ it is invigorating, and watching men· play is sensuous. My favorite colors are pink and black. I am allergic to caffeine, but I adore chocolate. I love sunshine and rainstorms, and listening to Howard Jones or George Winston, while weeping and running on windy mountaintops. I love extreme emotions, oozing mud between my toes in the summertime, dark brown eyes, warm blooded creatures and people who dare to show their true souls. I can't stand "fake" people, eating murdered animals, constraints on human nature, and politics. I want to write, sketch, paint, and travel for a living. As the new feature editor, I would like to mention the Beacon, and attitudes people have towards their school paper.. The Beacon ii for Wilkes College students. Many students have the opinion that the Beacon has nothing important to say. The paper is here for ym: the student. If you have questions, suggestions, comments, or problems, it is up to you to inform the Beacon staff. We are open to new ideas and would appreciate your opinions. After all, the Beacon belongs to the student body-YOU. Rubes® ----- (no need to tion a certain Olympic ,medalist or a major New York comedian again) are definitely starting this semester off on the right foot. This time they've brought a true entertainment "ringer;" a man with talent in his blood. And what a talent it is! As I mentioned, Livingston Taylor has six albums (on the Capricorn and Epic labels). The sixth, which was released last spring, was his first since 1980. He has had at least two "Top 40" tunes and a lot of success with his music. He has toured the United States as the "top bill" or as an opening act for other popular acts. can, wait unttl morning, UN this." to admit the stock 1 this didn't enjoyed understar ts of it. performi , Billy 'MOMN the la · comedy tchcock's By Leigh Rubin \ " .. .

When I look out across the universe and see the moon and then the stars beyond, I like to think our souls will travel there with all our knowledge still intact after we pass away. I like to think that "reason" rules the universe. But where can reason be in tragedy? I ask this while the snow keeps softly falling. We must accept Craig Piatt's death and continue with the other aspects of our education. He would want us to, and we will. 1 Right now I can't remember why. Can anyone remind me? My heart goes out to his family. My father too died in a sudden accident. So much life stilled in a careless moment. I thought then that maybe those who die young had enjoyed their years more totally than we who have so many more years; as if some quantity X were being used up by each of us at different rates; as if for my father and for Craig, a sunset had been more dazzling, a friendship or a joy more deeply felt than any that we who live our full, long years· will know.

Now, without further adieu, here is everyones favorite stocking stuffer, Ed, with his record review! The record of the week for this week is the soundtrack for the movie "Less Than Zero." Although the movie blew fumes, this soundtrack is rather interesting. J t consists of new original songs and old songs rerecorded by new bands. Some of these remade songs include Simon and Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" performed by the Bangles, Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Night" redone by Poison, and Iron Butterfly's "ln a Godda da Vida" done ·here by the death-metal band Slayer, Also included are new songs by such performers as L.L. Cool J. and Oran "Juice" Jones. This blend of old and new is effective and seems to create an eerie overtone for the entire album. It's sort of like art-deco music. this record is, despite it's remakes, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING MAJORS!

A footstompin' welcome back by Lee Morrell The first step has been taken. Personally, I was im-· pressed. I liked the idea when I first heard it and now that it has become reality, I like it even more. "What idea?" you ask. The "Saturday Night Subset," is the idea. The brainchild of Andrew Morrell and the Programming Board, it is meant to turn the SUB in to a performing showcase for talent and for it to be utilized as one. That first step I mentioned was taken last Saturday night with the first of, what hope to be, many successful shows. The performer was Jay Smar, a traditional folk artist hailing from the Jim Thorpe area. Smar, besides playing at other schools, has been featured a number of times on WVIA-FM's "Mixed Bag" program. Smar's music was a mix of original and traditional folk music. Traditional folk can be defined as the music that started it all; the music that it was all fashioned after. Therefore Smar's original music is just a twist on traditional folk. Smar's strong point was his ability to play different instruments. He played a number of songs on the fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, and of course, the guitar. He opened the show with a welcome song on the fiddle, showing that versatility. He then switched to guitar for a number of songs dealing with such subjects as local legends , such as in "The Ballad of Glenonoko"; a story about a girl he met on a Greyhound bound for Waterville, ME, called "Greyhound Glutton"; a traditional tune about a heroic horse called "Tennesee Stud"; and another somewhat local ballad Jay Smar, shown above, performed Saturday night. abo~t coalmining and tfie damage show-:- He played a o( it causes called "Paradise," by guitar and fiddle instrumentals John Prine.

The Wilkes Open is one of the oldest wrestling tournaments in the country, and always has top notch wrestlers competing.

So we get a belltower and a swamp (which may serve to breed disease-carrymg insectae when warmer days arrive) and some dead grass and trees.

Grass has been cemented over and tom up in patches, bushes have been uprooted, and the balance of nature has been disturbed. 3. I interpret the structure and its immediate area as an icon to wealth. The concrete has extended far beyond the limits of a "respectable" walkway. The tower proper rears its slender brick form over the remains of a once peaceful "green area." The spurious "bells" annoyingly resonate their unappealing tones through the air every hour, causing everyone within several blocks to cringe for a moment.

Your: be greatly appreciated!: ~ looking for tutors • My mother called me on Sunday morning to tell me that she and my father had gotten into a car accident the night before. She went on to say that the girl that was driving had been driving drunk. Okay, so my parents are both fine (with the exception of a few bumps and bruises and a totalled car). I should count my blessings because no one was badly injured or even killed. But this accident simply re-emphasizes the feelings towards drinking and driving that I have been feeling all week. Does the drunk driver get off easier than he should? Well, we have all been in situations where your "only" ride home from a party has been drinking. You climb in the car, shrugging off the possibilty of an accident, because it always happens to someone else, and you only live 15 minutes a~ay. But drunk driving is something that needs to be taken seriously. I was curious to find out exactly what happens to people who are picked up for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) so I called the Wilkes-Barre police department and talked to Sgt. Zigmund. He told me that when a person is picked up for the first time, he or she generally is arrested, imprisoned for 48 hours and placed on probation for one year. He/she then has to attend Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition classes in order to inform them lo a greater degree of the seriousness of drinking and driving. The following times a person is convicted of DWI, the punishments are a little more serious. They are placed in jail for thirty days for the second offense, and ninety days to a year for the third offense. They are also placed on trial. If the drunk driver is picked up more than three times, he/she has 10 do time for a minimum time period of one year. pie. I could get drunk, drive, and cause an accident that may kill that person I am after. Yes, I know this sounds highly unlikely, but I am trying to explain how ridiculous the laws are. As far as I am concerned, the drunk driver has murdered someone in cold blood. I expressed my feelings to Sgt. Zigmund about the laws and the fact that they are indirectly encouraging drinking and driving. Yes, I realize that the laws are harsh, but I feel that they could be harsher. By doing this, maybe the crime of drinking and driving will become less common. I am an idealist, and I believe that if people are told that something is harmful enough times that they will stop doing what they are doing. Sgt. Zigmund did not agree with me. He told me that "you can put a cop on every comer, but you can't stop crime." The situation is somewhat different if the drunk driver has killed one or more persons. I asked police officer Zigmund if the drunk driver was considered a murderer. He told me that it used to be considered manslaughter about 3-5 years ago, and since that time the laws have changed. They changed because the prob!ems with drinking and driving nationwide have gotten progressively worse. Sgt. Zigmund also said that, under the law, the crime of drinking and driving and killing another person is considered homicide by vehicle and DWI. In other words, there is a limit to the punishment a drunk driver can receive, and if he/she has an effective attorney, he/she can get off the hook. The minimum punishment for homicide by vehicle and DWI is three years, and the maximum punishment is ten years. This law bothers me because if I ever wanted to murder someone, I could avoid a life sentence or the electric chair. It would be sim- Also he said that you can pass all the laws in the world, but it won't change. I Yes, creating more laws won't change the world, but charging a man with homicide by vehicle and DWI doesn't really prevent him from killing someone else's best friend -- or mom and dad. Think back when you were younger, and your mom or dad punished you for coming in too late one night. Which punishment would discourage you from disobeying them the next time: a few angry words and a warning not to do it again, grounding you for the weekend, or grounding you for 4 weekends? Probably, the average teenager would learn more if they were grounded for 4 weekends. They would learn that what they did was serious, and they would ◄ try to avoid the punishment if they could. The same applies to drinking and driving... a slap on the back of the hand just doesn't bring back the life of someone who has been killed. Through this article I merely wanted to provide information about drinking and driving and the penalties that are being slapped down on the breakers of this law. I don't know when things are going to change, or if they are ever going to change, but I do know that I'm not planning on letting anyone I know drink and drive. They can be taken away so easily, even in a simple 15 minute drive home. I'm thankful my parents were untouched by the accident they were in Saturday. But in a way, I am thankful the accident happened, because it brought drinking and driving a little closer to home. An accident affects one person, and they change the way they live.

Tony Vento, Campus minister, suggested, "Extend your love to the homeless. It's a way for people to share their joy for Valentine's Day and help the homeless." The Wilkes College Fellowship Program and St. Mary's Campus Ministry are combining efforts to provide care for the homeless in the Wilkes-Barre area. Instead of helping these people with their problems, many of us shirk our responsibilities to society and laugh at their prediciment. Student Coordinator Lynne Travaline, a sophomore Elepmentary Education and Psychology Major, said she worked on the homeless campaign last year and found it deeply gratifying. She said, "It's so good to help them out. I went to buy some things for the collection box - 20 bars of soap. I told the girl (at the register) 'It's for the homeless.' She said They smell, they really need it.' This made me realize the importance of helping out and being morally responsible for them.'' Vento said, "We're still seeking a co-sponsoring group to help staff on collection days and to help promote the campaign. Dr. Garr is also our first faculty advisor for it and we're seeking other faculty support as well." Through the VISION program, - the area's homeless recieve supplies, a place to sleep and eat, job or personal counseling, health care, clothing, and personal items. Vento said personal items are expensive and least donated. The local group responsible for helping homeless - VISION needs supplies not provided by the regular donors such as: Soap, toothbrushes, deoderant, disposable razors, shavers, tampons, baby powder, combs, brushes, nail clippers, shampoo, fresh socks, fresh tee-shirts and new underwear. According to Vento, these are the kinds of items that are often overlooked by everyday donors, but they add up to thousands and thousands of dollars. Through the "Valentine's Day drive held between Wednesday, February 10th and Tuesday February 16th, you too have a chance to help these unfortup!3_te ·individuals. ,'f' i-Students, staff, faculty and administration are asked by the Fellowship to bring items ito Stark Lobby, cafeteria and other designated buildings between 11 ~.m. and 1 p.m li5 • Ir Force to add five offic se1 by Amy Braun Many people feel our government spends entirely1 too much money on defense. I know I feel that way, because why should .fillY country possess the power to destroy the world four times over? Well fortunately for Wilkes College, there has been a new budget cut back plan called The Graham Ruddman Bill. Our country is now planning on spending icss money on defense. This new bill requires the Department of Defense to stop spending our taxes so freely . The Secretary of Defense, (originally from Scranton) suggested that the Air Force should rid itself of 2,250 officers by September of 1988. With less Air Force Officers, there will not be as many expenses, and indirectly, the defecit will become smaller. The Air Force decided to retain experienced officers and stop accessions (new officers). This has affected colleges nationwide, because some ROTC Air Force detatchments are going to need to be shut down. There are now 151 detatchments in · the United States, and 18 months fromn now there will only be 114. This affects Wilkes College, because our ROTC now has to recruit more officers to make up for the Air Force detatchments that are being shut down. Our ROTC ~ has a goal of commissioning 28 new comissionees rather than 23. Presently, 60% of ' the students involved in ROTC arc on scholarships. They recieve full tuition fees, books, sses thii story su "last mim be avoid, , only etry" had se it was by Dr. Su due to heal1 able to tea< ges had to staff an Lt. Col.

By adding five more officers to our ROTC program, there will be more scholarships offered to qualified Wilkes and local students. The opportuniuty to join the ROTC program is available to any freshmen and sophomores presently attending Wilkes. Lt. Col. David Billings stressed the importance of the experience that the Air Force provides. Strong leaders can be produced through the ROTC program, and officers resumes are quite impressive to any employer interested in hiring. In the job market, employers are interested in people who have ability. According to Bi · reason Wilkes' program shut down is because quality of students and cl commissioned.''

He and the department want to meet the students needs programatically. For example, English 202: Techr.ical Writing, was added among the list of courses offered, although it wasn't necessary.

Someone had the nerve to enter the Dean's Offices and steal private property in broad daylight. I asked Dean Lampe why someone would steal her purse. She responded, "People steal." Someone wanted the purse, although it really had nothing of ·value in it. There were personal items such as: the ownership card to her car, her liscence, credit cards, checks, $34.00 in cash, old grocery lists, and a rosary that had been given to her mother by her father. The only thing that Dean Lampe really wants returned is the rosary, because of it's sentimental value. She is hoping that the it may tum up sometime. I asked Dean Lampe how she felt about the situation. She first said that she felt angry at herself for being so stupid. She said "Here I am in the business of helping young people learn how to be more careful. Now I do something careless, and I haven't shown a very good example. " Lampe also said that she feels "strange in an amusing way" because she has absolutely no proof of who she is. She has lost all her credit cards, and she has no identification. She wants to borrow her husbands credit card to buy a new wallet, purse, and some make-up, because at least he has an identity. Dean Lampe has learned a lesson through the whole experience.

Well, 18 out of 20 teachers surveyed said that students are receiving the education needed to be a productive member of society. "Yes," said Dr. Patricia Heaman, "because they [the students] have the opportunity to make connections with the real world, all through education, internships, and publications. There are opportunities dealing with tutoring, cow· ,ters, people, and values." rvfany teachers immediately responded with the comment: What is the real world?" I didn t count on the idea of the "real world" as being such an open-ended term before I posed tr - -1uestion to the faculty members .,urveyed. I should have known better than to think that I was going to get a simple "yes or no" answer from scholars who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of upper level thinking. Dr. Herb Guggenheim had this to say: "No. The problem is that our concept of what -education is needs to be reformulated. In ma!"y ways rigidity, inflexibility, a lockstep approach to education are inherent to the entire educational system. Students in America view themselves as survivalists who have to use their wits to thwack their way through the jungle of education. They do not stop to look at the delicate tropical plants or the exotic foliage along the way. "In college they see themselves as beginning surfers trying to stay on top of a wave until graduation. They are carried not by their own enthusiasm but by a kind of involuntary motion. They are passive participants in the educational system. If we're going to prepare students for the "real world" we [the faculty] have to cultivate parts of their minds which have heretofore not been cultivated. We have to stop .t!:fil.lling people for mid-level professions and start cultivating student's imaginations. You see, students think of education as being contained in boxes, they don't realize education is liquid and flows from vessel to vessel. We as teachers have to show this liquid, lyrical quality to our students in order to prepare them for a life which is not static and dead but a life which is full of dark purples, deep reds, emerald greens like the tropical forest I mentioned earlier with its rare fruits hanging on the vine. In my class I try to prepare my students for the 'real world' which is the world of dreams." The results show a general positive attitude on the part of the teachers who participated. Teachers are rarely asked about the way they feel about their effectiveness as teachers and their profession. Many of the teachers started their answers by explaining that they could only speak for themselves. •••••••••••••••••• ■ I ■ ■ Need to fill up some I ■ of that extra time? ■ ■ ■ ■ I I Why I I = :: not write for ■ ff? ■ the Beacon sta . ■ ■ ■ ■ Your parents would I be SO ■ ■ proud of you! : ■ ■ : : ■ ■ : C II a US t 2962 ■ a ext. ■ I and •• • • ■ •••••• ■• ■■ ■■•• �February 4, 1988 PAGE SIX Livingston Taylor: ~:::-- - - -~-· -------- - -:---- ~ \ tt • A night of great music to remember! by Lee Morrell Everytime I go to a Programming Board sponsored event, I always come out saying something like, "that was the best (fill in the blank--comedian, singer, etc . . . ) I have ever seen!" The time has come for a change. After Friday night's show, I will now say, "That was the second best . . . ·" The best will now and forever be the Livingston Taylor show. If you don't believe me, ask the 200+ other people who were there. In my days of following the Programming Board, I have seen artists asked back for encores, but never with a standing ovation--from everyone! In a word, he was fantastic. He performed in thirds, the largest of which was on the guitar; the other two were on the piano and the banjo. His show was, with the exception of 3 or 4 songs, completely original material. He covered every possible subject in his original material. He opened with a song called "Life is Good," which was followed by a humorous tune called "Jacques Cousteau," a song all about the lovable Frenchman who guards the seas. With "Cousteau," the audience really began to get into Liv's style. This was evident by the response to a song he calls "Armageddon Rag," a long excuse as to why he won't mow the lawn, "cause we'll all · be equal when the Big Bang comes again." Taylor lives outside of Boston; "It's cold, dirty, expensive and I call it home." His home was the inspiration for two of his very humorous original tunes. One is "Doggy Jail." A song about the times his dog, Diesel, ran away from home and got caught by the police. The other was a mock-hard-rock style song called "Cambridge Kind of Guy." He did this as part of his encore and even followed it with a Pete Townshend-ish leap. While all of his song,; were good, there were some I can only categorize as "nice." I realize that's not a real category but it's the only one that fits. You see, they were great songs, but a term like "ballad" doesn't always fit; they (his songs) are r.ot always beautiful. They're just plain old "I know that feeling" nice songs. Some of these were "Carolina Day," a song about his home; "City Lights," a song by Pat Alger about a girl who leaves the farm for the big city; "":':1e Dollar Bill Song," a funny love song about a message (I Love You!) written on a dollar bill that is passed to twenty or so people before the right person "accidentally" gets it and reads it; "I Got my Pajamas On," a song about the carefree world of being a child; "Always Be Heart and Soul To Me," a love song for the piano; "Goo<ltinH~ Charley's Got the Blues," a Danny O'Keefe song about everyone leaving town, but him; and "It's My Job," the song he closed the show with. He also did some funny songs that received a good response. These subjects ranged from country music, "I Hate Country Music," to hippies, "The Last Hippies in the World." He also did a hilarious duel voice version of "The Ballad of Photography by Elizabeth Mazzullo Railroad Bill." I have heard this song many times, but this was definitely the best! The songs weren't the only things funny. He made many jokes and humorous statements about the crowd, The Beacon, his accidental appearance in Boston--"I was dyslexic, I meant left, go to Orlando, buy and a '72 Impala," ·· his own brother ·- "Ja brand new album out so while you're waiting (Liv has a new album stores in May), you his."

It was in the hour long television show, "The Streets of San Francisco" where Michael Douglas received his first big break in acting. He was chosen to play beside Karl Malden as his detective partner. From there he moved into the realm of the film world. Early in his career, Douglas starred opposite French actress Genevieve Bujold in "Coma." At this time he was a reletively unknown actor. It's in the 1980s that he has made an extraordinary name for himself. First he starred in "The Star Ghamber," which received little attention by either the critics or the movie paying audience. However, this was a powerful film which took an incredible look at our court system and its fallacies. After "Star Chamber" Douglas' career sky- rocketed when "Romancing the Stone" hit the wide screen. Douglas produced and starred in this comedyadventure with the · alluring Kathleen Turner and the hilarious Danny Devito.

He seemed confused and disoriented. I could hardly speak. "Aren't you Alexander Pope?" I managed to blnrt out. "The very same, sir," he responded. "But vii.ere on God's green earth am I?" he demanded. "Wilkes College, sir," I told him. Mr. Pope's eyebrows raised distinctively to the middle of his forehead. He glanced out the window toward the Susquehanna. "Is that the Themes or the Avon?" he asked. • - - "Neither, sir," I explained, pointing to the rolling muddy chunks of floating ice. "That's the mighty Susquehanna," I told him. "Ah, must be I'm in Yorkshire, then," he mused. "Pennsylvania, sir," I · corrected. Mr. Pope looked bewildered. He explained that the last thing he rememberect had been discussing the possibilities of time travel with the Duke of Bolingbroke's magician. "O, sir, what a miracle!" I exclaimed. "Do you think, as long as you're here, you might teach, say, a workshop on couplets?" Mr. Pope seemed to brighten as he checkerl his gloves. "Well, perhaps. I do know a thing or two · about pentameter;" he offered. "We'd be in your debt, sir," I told him. "It would be such an honor." Mr. Pope's eyebrows seemed to rest peacefully above his eyes. "Come with me," I told him. "We'll go right to the Dean!" When we got to the Dean's office, we were told to go tQ Admissions. When we got to Admissions \\'e were told to go to Financial Aid. When we got to Financial Aid we were told that without a valid 1986 1040 tax form, there was nothing the college could do. "But this is Alexander Pope!" I told them. "Sorry!" was the response. "Unless he's related to a Sordoni." Heading back across campus, Mr. Pope seemed disillusioned. "I've had this trouble before," he told me. "In England they wouldii't let me attend school because I'm Catholic." "You're kidding! "But you translated the was amazed.

Mr. Pope alien. that Janelle even considered applying for the internship. Once she turned in her application at the Co-op office (third floor, Hollenback) on a Thursday, on Friday she received a phone call telling her that the interviews for Disney World were that Monday in Delaware. Deciding to take a chance, Janelle went to Delaware and was interviewed. There were 450 college students present, and they were told that only 60 were to be chosen. The students were also given a presentation about what their summer would be like if they were chosen. Accor<ling to Janelle, after she saw the the presentation, she "really wanted to do this." . Because of the number of students applying, they were interviewed in groups of two or three. After the interview, Janelle was told that if she got the job, she would receive a letter within two weeks. Now came the hardest part, waiting. Janelle said, "I came back and sat in my room, waiting for my letter." Fortunately for Janelle, she was one of the lucky ones-- she received the letter saying that her summer would be spent in Florida. The next month, Janelle was in Florida, staying in accommodations provided by Disney World. She and the other 550 college students from all over the world stayed at a condominiumstyle complex called Lake Vista Village that was only ten minutes from the park. In Lake Vista Village, there were plenty of things to make the stay away from home very enjoyable, things such as: two swimming pools, two tennis courts, a bar and restaurant, and a jacuzzi. In addition, transportation was provided to and from the park. The students were also given free admission into the park at any time. Because Janelle worked at Frontier Land, and knew what it encompassed almost by heart, she would spend her ·time in EPCOT when she chose to visit the park. One of the most interesting things Janelle found at Disney World was the underground "Degree?" I shouted. "Do you realize who this is? Alexander Pope! He wrote the Essay on Criticism. He wrote the Essay on Man! " "Has he had CS ll 5?" the head of the department wanted to know. "CS what?" Mr. Pope asked. "Computer science." we were told. "It's part of the core curriculum." "But sir.. .I only use a long quill pen." Mr. Pope offered. "Well, I'm sure we can get you into a good program," the head of the department suggested. "Now lets see, have you had Psych 101?" Alexander Pope's eyebrows did that incredible dance across the middle of his forehead as he stared at me. Helplessly, I turned back to the head of the department. "Isn't there anything we can do?" I pleaded. "Of course," he offered. "We always do our best to make special considerations. Now let me see. . ." He fussed over his papers for a few minutes until he suddenly brightened. Mr. Pope and I looked at him with anticipation. "Well, in light of the fact that you've written a couple of essays, I might let you challange Comp 101," he offered. "Good day," Mr. Pope said nsmg. He pulled his cape up around his shoulders and strode to the door. "Wait!" I shouted after him. I caught up to him at the bell tower. "Hello Dolly" was chiming away at full volume. "Please, Mr. Pope," I tunnels. Beneath the actual park, there are catacombs of tunnels where the employees go om their breaks. "It's an underground city with cafeterias and everything," ranelle said. The doors to get to the tunnels are widely dispersed throughout the park, but the average park visitor wouldn't recognize them because they are well hidden in the scenery. Naturally, there were a few drawbacks, such as the heat, which Janelle said was incredible this past summer. Also, this was the literal once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Students are not allowed to intern at Disney World more than once, however, by . working one day a year, they can retain their work status and return to work whenever they choose.

When asked what stood out the most from the summer she replied, "the people." Having an opportunity to live and work with college students from all over the world was the thing that stuck out in her mind about this summer. The friendships that she made in Florida have spanned many miles. They have kept in touch through frequent letters and, due to the cost, not so frequent phone calls. Also, this past Christmas break, those who live in the United States had a reunion in New York City. According to Janelle, "It was wonderful, everyone sho\\'.ed up. I didn't expect them all to . . . but everyone showed up." Janelle had a wonderful time interning at Disney World and she learned a lot about dealing with people, a valuable skill for a future newscaster. Having had, "the best time of her life," Janelle encourages everyone to try to experience a summer internship, especially one at a place like Disney World. The person to talk to is Cheryl Gibson at Co-op. Mrs. Gibson said that the applications for Disney will be in within the end of the month. When asked if she had advice for anyone looking for a summer internship, Janelle replied, "All I can say is: Go for it! You get a lot out of it." That's good advice from someone who has been there. Mr. Pope stopped and did begged. ·"Don't leave!" "Obviously I'm not needed his eyebrow dance again. "And here," came his affronted reply. where," he asked me "might that be?"

The Colonels had met both teams previously and come up short. The Monarchs of King's College may have defeated the Colonels back in December in the Wilkes' gym by ten points, but last Wednesday was a different story. Wilkes traveled across town to meet the Monarchs in Scandlon Gymnasium, and returned the favor m a stunning 73-65 victory over the Monarchs. On Saturday the Colonels hosted Delaware Valley, a team which had defeated the Colonels on the road over break. This time the Colonels rallied to a 72-66 triumph to increase their MAC record to 5-6. "At the present time we're playing with a great deal of confidence," said Head Coach Ron Rainey. "From the [King's] win, good feelings have· come and our confidence has gotten bet- 1l' ter. When you're losing you start to doubt yourself and what your doing out on the floor. If we can hold teams to j ust in the 60s we're going to have a good chance at winning because we've proved we can score at least that many. This proves what we're doing on the court is starting to work. If we keep doing things consistently in a game, we will come out a winner." Early in the first half of the King's game the Monarchs took control, forcing several Wilkes turnovers. The Colonels took a time out to regroup and came back ready to do battle. Battle they did, as the Colonels scored 19 unanswered points in the middle portion of the first half to take a 20 point lead. Late in the first period the Colonels led 38-18, but the Monarch's had cut the lead to 38-25 by halftime. Senior forward Jeff Steeber commented on the game by saying, "We started off really well. We actually played 40 minutes of good basketall. We made key shots and really hustled the ball. At one point in the first half we were up by 20 points, the second half we g~ they came back to uc when we switched to a man defense. I dido t see us take a 20 point lose the game."

Since Wilkes College is a large consumer of energy, the fuel plan should be beneficial to both the College and the Wilkes-Barre community, said O'Hop because "what we do might hurt our neighbors." By designating one source of fuel, they may be raising another person's fuel cost. Dr. Christopher Breiseth, College president, said the energy plan also includes measures for improving ventilation in the basement of Stark Learning Center. Better ventilation would also prevent the radon level from reaching a level above normal. O'Hop said that precautionary measures are be taken to ensurethat the HV AC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) in the present system were designed. O'Hop compared Wilkes having a minor radon problem on Campus to a doctor with a cold. "The restricted access (to certain areas in the basement of Stark) were from preliminary results. There is a certain amount of panic mentality. I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of the situation, but we wouldn't intentionally expose anyone."

Few issues facing the world today elicit more controversy and discussion than condoms--their use, their effectiveness, and especially their place in schools and in the lives of today's youth. It is generally accepted that condoms are the best--and in many cases the only--way to protect against AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancy, and they do, in fact, have a place in the life of many sexually active students on this campus. This point has never been disputed by the powers that be at Wilkes--condoms are available on campus in vending machines and the bookstore and also are available free of charge at Health Services, located in Hollenback Hall. The condoms are available, and students are slowly but surely being informed of their importance. Perhaps ¢at is the best point--slowly but surely. The sooner students are aware of the pros and cons of condoms and of the diseases they protect agains( the sooner students can start practicing safe sex. Granted, Wilkes has done its part. Students have the option to purchase or procure condoms on campus. What they are really lacking is the information and the awareness that should go with condom use. This coming week is National Condom Week, an attempt to inform people--especially those people in the 16-to- 24- year-old age range--about the · importance of condom use. In order to give Wilkes students some information on National Condom Week, The Beacon was prepared, in .. addition to running the article you see on ' the· front page, to print a public service announcement that depicted a row of condoms dancing ''Rockette" style. The ad was intended to draw students' attention and perhaps to make them wonder, "What's all the commotion about condoms?" or just to make them smile. Still, upon seeing the ad, the student would become, at least for a fleeting time, awa~ of condoms. The ad was not offensive; it was amusing. It served to interest the student without shoving hard facts down his throat But as you might have noticed, the ad is nowhere to be found in this issue of- The Beacon. Why? Good question. When it was brought to the attention of adminstrators that this ad would be run, the ad was shown around the halls of W eckesser and it was decided that the ad was inappropriate for publication. What could possibly prompt .administrators to suggest that a perfectly harmless public service ·ad for National Condom Week not be run? This one simple word--condom. What will people think when they see "dancing" condoms on the front page of a college newspaper? Won't we offend people? My question is: just where does the concern of the administrators lie? Does it lie with the students at whom this ad is directed or does it lie with the public/Board of Trustees/parents/local press who might actually be offended by the ad? My guess wouldn't be "with the students." Wilkes has again shown that its concern with image at certain times is more important than its concern with students. The ad is intended to make students aware of condoms. Sure, an article would help, but to- this visually stimulated generation, pictures speak louder than words. Although some may have said that the ad shouldn't be run because it was too cute, I somehow doubt that the ad would ' have run in an·y form. The administrators at Wilkes are so afraid of offending the public at large (or perhaps the big money contributors) that they are willing, at the expense of the fifth amendment and student health, to exercise just the tiniest bit of censorship. Well, even the tiniest ·bit of ce~sorship is too much. The ad really should have run. Both Health Services and The Beacon had agreed that the ad would bring about the desired effect--awareness--and that should be the most important thing. We are certainly not implying that Wilkes is willing to sacrifice the health of its students for image, but they have come very close this time. What good are condom machines without student awareness? What good are glowing words about the support of safe sex without giving the students the knowledge to practice it? Let's get condoms out of the closet--and into use. February 11, 1988 Letter to the Editor A Dead Horse Editor: to poll the students of Wilkes myself, and found some interesting trends. I hope they will be helpful: ( 1) Most students think the belltower is ugly. (2) Most students think it is a waste of money. (3) Most students apparently can't find anything else to complain about. (4) No matter what any of us think the belltower is here to stay. STOP BEATING A DEAD HORSE. As I read through the latest copy of The Beacon (February 4), something begins to occur to me. A theme emerges. Consistency develops. A rigid structure becomes apparent. The belltower is mentioned again . . . and again . . . and again. Last year's redundant theme of "campus apathy" is replaced by this year's just-as-boring "we hate the belltower" theme.

He recomends "talking to people who you feel most comfortable with.

Again, all of these are examples of purely selfish, discourteous actions. Common courtesy is, after all, not that much to ask for, and it would make life at Wilkes that much more pleasant for all of us. And to look at things in quite a cynical way, it's a technique that some Wilkes students might even find useful in their future career. Since, according to the statistics in last week's editorial, most students' goal in attending college is money,_ perhaps this courtesy course could be "sold" to students from the idea that it will make them more marketable. Who knows? It might work. After all, the idea of being polite to one's fellow students for politeness' sake alone doesn't seem to have caught on here in a big way. Perhaps this will be an incentive to the Gordon Gekko crowd: just think, taking that correct phone message now could mean important connections later--and just think, if you don't wear your hats to class, some grateful soul somewhere might you that first BMW--and a �PAGE FOUR February 11, 1988 -)Winter Weekend Activities JY Amy Braun Maybe you haven't yet made any plans for the weekend of February. 26. Maybe you have been trymg to tell yourself you are going to stay in and study that weekend. Well, forget it! February 26, 27, and 28 just so h~ppen to be Winter Weekend this year. How can you stay in and study with all those activities going on around you? The theme this year is Winter Olympics '88, and it is being sponsored by the Wilkes College student government. There will be 15 teams involved in the weekend. There will 14 people on each team, consistmg of 7 guys and 7 girls. There aren't as many teams this Y~ _as there were last year, but this is an attempt to limit confusion. The teams will each be n~ed after a country, and they will each bear banners represen~ng that country. Each student m_vol~ed has to make a contnbution of $1.00. Student government will match each dollar .Ix: Death Continued from p.3 It also states, "Grief is painful, and unwanted feelings of guilt frequently are part of the · pain.

I _ talked to John · Rosania, president of student government, and he gave me a preview of the activities that will be • taking place: Student Government has been working very hard during the past few weeks preparing the weekend's activities with the other chairpersons on the commitee. On Friday night of Winter Weekend, the opening ceremonies will take .place. Each team involved will gather under the bell tower. A "torch"-bearer will run from the cafeteria to the bell tower (hopefully without getting hit by a car). The "torch" will actually be a flare because of the school's regulations regarding fire. The opening ceremonies will begin at 9:00 p.m. Saturday morning the activities will resume. The first activity will be an empty keg roll (everyone should be really good at this one). This event will take place at Ralston field. The events that follow will be the "three-legged race", the "orange pass", ' and weather permitting, everyone will b_e found "plastic bagging" it down the huge hill in Kirby Park. (I didn't know what this activity was either. John told me it is a relay race in which people wear plastic bags and throw themselves over the edge of the hill.) Sounds like a great time! If there happens to be no snow that weekend, the relay race will be "spoon-threading." (I didn't recognize that one either--that is when teams compete by pulling a spoon through the clothes they are wearing. The spoon is tied to a string, and according to what John said, it is extremely difficult. Maybe everyone can start practicing now!) From 11:00 to 1:00 on Saturday there will be a break for lunch. The afternoon activities will resume at 1:00. The first activity will be "blind man's basketball". After that competition is done, the "bat spin" will take place. The th:rd activity of ATTENT CLASS the afternoon will the be "obstacle course." The final event of the day will be the "tug of war." Sunday's activities will be taking place in the YMCA. There will be several different swimming relays to participate in or watch. The weekend's events are all going to be exciting and hilarious to be involved in--or to watch. From talking to John, I got the impression that a lot of hard work went into the preparation of Winter Weekend this year. Many activities and events have been planned, and they should provide an exciting three days of entertainment. When I asktedhe what he expected from weekend, John said, "I think I want us to have a sucessful event, under control, and without the presence of alchohol." Many students are looking forward to this year's events. The weekend should be a sucess for both the winners and the losers--and it should be a lot of fun!

Wilkes swept all three teams, and Coach Reese was very pleased, saying, "the kids wrestled well, they really hustled." The first match of the day had the Colonels facing the Cadets of Army. Brian Bauer got the Colonels off to a good start with a 4-1 victory over Tony Malba. The 126 bout was probably the most controversial. With the score tied 2-2, Dennis Mejias was called for an illegal move, and eventually lost to Army's Trevar Emey, 8-6. Wilkes also lost a team point for unsportsman like conduct to give the Cadets a 3-2 lead. Coach Reese needed a fast start to off-set Anny's strength Darrel Nereve to a 4-4 tie. The Colonels got a big victory from Frank Goldowski, who major decisioned Jeff Butler 10-2, making the Colonel lead 12-5. Mike Schroat was also impressive for the Colonels as he defeated Nick Moulken 6-4. Army then closed the score to 15-9 as John Rippley major decisioned Chris ·Shoud 13-0. Craig Rome then scored the final points for the Colonels--a major decision over Rob Holder. Rome's victory gave the Colonels an 18-9 lead going into the final two bouts.

Although you might not think so, the loss of the campus media would have a widespread effect on the overall well-being of the campus. The student organizations mentioned above are just a few that fill the need for student expression and communication, and, as of late, they are outlets that are being grievously underused by the very people they are designed for--the students. There seem to be consistent complaints from many leaders of campus organizations bewailing the lack of student participation. It is very easy to complain about the lack of participation, but it is even harder to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why there is such a problem. On larger campuses participation in things like the newspaper, radio station, and yearbook is not only popular, but downright competitive. Here, , however, the Qrganizations and publications are crying out for help, and many valuable learning experiences are being ignored. One possible reason for poor student participation could merely be the lack of knowledge about the various opportunities available. The average student may not be aware that The Manuscript , The Amnicola, or WCLH are accessible to every student on campus. Every week, The Beacon stresses the need for writers and photographers, and every week the plea is ignored. As a result of the ads we run, we have received no more than two people. These people do not even begin to fill our need. If mere ignorance were the problem, it would be a relatively easy one to solve. However, ignorance is only the surface problem. Perhaps students feel inundated with schoolwork, and they feel that giving time to extracurricular activites would be a drain on their GPA. That is a reasonable objection, but there is a great deal to be learned through extracurricular activites as well. Submitting to the Amnicola, to the Manuscript , or to The Beacon • takes only a relatively small fraction of time away from studying. Honing writing skills, seeing how the various organizations work, and even getting an intellectual break from studying are all plusses of getting involved with the various publications on campus. All right, I'll even give a _mercenary reason for those of you out there who need it--extracurricular participation looks great on resumes! Most distressing for The Beacon is the lack of Communications students willing to become involved. After all, this is the field these students want to get into: the newspaper and radio station should be something they want to do, to put their skills into practice. But of the 12 editorial positions on The Beacon staff, only three are filled by Communications majors. Worse yet, there are rarely submissions from any students from that academic field. These students are supposed to be honing skills that are tailored exactly for the kind of work that The Beacon does. Instead of coming out to help us, these students are more willing to criticize than to contribute. And that is truly dangerous. Maybe students are intimidated by the orgainzations. Maybe they feel that it's too hard to get involved. Nothing could be further from the truth. All of the campus organizations are accessible and are always willing to welcome a new face. You don't need experience, just a desire to learn. After all, that's what college is supposed to be about--learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Communication and expression are a vital and integral part of growth. Can students really have a complete education without the benefit of this kind of expression?

If this sentence had appeared in a paper submitted to my class, I would have given the paper a failing grade. In the first place the phrase flanked by implies people to the right and left of a given individual or thing. Ms. Saueraker would have to be very large and flexible to be able to stand both to the right and left of two individuals in such bulky cos- tumes. In the second place the verb in the sentence, is, does not agree with the compound subject, Dopey and Snow White: While I enjoy Disney characters, I do not enjoy bad grammar.

Evers would anyone need to be taught how to fill out forms? It's pretty easy to do." My reply to that is that anyone who can make a statement like this has obviously never had to deal with all of this paperwork. You see, there's a certain language to mandatory forms--a language I'm convinced bears no resemblance to English. And it's a language I don't speak. Obviously, it's one that I should learn. One that I need .to know in order to graduate from As this year drags to a close, I have, like most Wilkes seniors, been working on preparations to graduate from this venerable institution of higher learning. I opened my mail this morning, in fact, to find a letter requesting me to make a stop at the bookstore to order a cap and gown for commencement exercises. Resisting my first impulse to throw the thing away, I instead perused the form, and was left with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something's m1ssmg from I-===:=;;:~ my Wilkes education, I thought. . Something important. And I never realized it until this semester, when 1--and all Wilkes seniors--was buried under a veritable deluge of forms to fill out. What kind of forms? Diploma orders. Cap-and-gown orders. Graduation forms. Registration forms. Resumes. Job applications. Graduate school applications. Graduate school test form applications. Financial aid applications. And so on. These forms are what led me to the realization that our Wilkes education is lacking in orie aspect. We were never taught how to fill out all of these forms. Now, you might say, "Why Wilkes.

People who wish to park there insert .50 into the slot, the gate goes up and they park as long as they need to. But we all know that's just a dream. The college would never see spending that kind of money on something as "useless" as a parking garage. They would much rather use it on more useful constructive projects such as a new gym or even (I can't resist) the bell tower.

This means that the class of 1991 may recieve their diplomas with Wilkes University written across the top. People have reacted in various ways to the idea of Wilkes "changing face." There have been both negative reactions and positive reactions. Most of the alumni of Wilkes "College" would like to continue thinking of their alma mater as just that- a college. Other reactions on the negative side may be ·that people simply don't like change, and that Wilkes may lose some of its intimacy with students. On the more positive side, according to Breiseth, Wilkes College will be given a chance to be known for what it more accurately is. According to Breiseth, all of our programs are too broad to be labelled "College". Also, Wilkes is a comprehensive school that provides worthwhile undergraduate and graduate programs. Why should Wilkes bother changing to a university? For one thing, the change will provide a positive impact on the Wilkes-Barre community as a whole. Having a University in the city may very likely attract many large corporations. Also, university status may sharpen the way employers in the job market view Wilkes and the programs of study that are offered here. The idea of Wilkes College changing to a Universtity is still being examined. Although there is no time commitment that the commities in charge have to work for, President Breiseth believes the work should be done soon. He bel~ves there is no point sitting arc5und talking apout it for two years.

"Here's a chance to do something different for Spring Break and make a difference at the same time," says Tony Vento, Campus minister. From Saturday, March 26 to April 2, Wilkes and King's College students will travel to the east side of Manhattan, to learn about and help the homeless through the SAFH, pronbunced "SAFE," or Shelter and Food For the Homeless. Charlie McGarry, Director of SAFH, part of the Trinity lower east side Lutheran parish i1i Manhattan said, "Thanks for all the help you are giving us or are going to give us. Together, we can really make the place a safe, clean, and :warm environment for the homeless to call home while they get themselves back on their feet" Vento said the inspiration for this program came from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) used in Christian churches during the Lenten s~on. He said the source of inspiration was Isaiah 58:6-7,10, "This is the fast that pleaseth me: to break unjust fetters, to let the oppressed go free, to share your bread with the hungry and shelter the homeless poor. If you do away with the yoke, the clenched fist, the wicked word, if you give your bread to the hungry and relief to the. oppressed, your light will rise in the darkness." He said, "Those _wh<!_are not religiously oriented will not be forced to participate in religious act1V1Ues. But for those who want it, it is "Holy Week" in N.Y.C." Vento ' said there are three ways we can paruc1pate in helping the homeless so "our ideas can make a difference right now as well as in the future." "The first way is through direct service," he said. Students can help with light renovations for Manhattan's east side SAHF homeless shelter. Priority items are: renovating the shelter or helping an affiliated food kitchen under the direction of the _formerly homeless in N.Y.C. The second way is through meeting experts from international agencies based in N.Y.C. to ask questions that arise from direct service and learn about the poverty programs around the world, said Vento. Local participants in the programs include; Amnesty International, Catholic Relief Service, Bread for 0.he World and the religious representatives of the U.N. He said the third way will be using time for discussions for those who want to join in with scripture and prayer, personal journal time, fun and sightseeing in N.Y.C. Vento says to those who want to auend, "It will be unlike any week you've spent before and a week you will remember for the rest of your life."

Some of you may already be familiar with Don through his bi-weekly column in The Beacon or through his weekly radio show--lbe Don and Ed Show-that airs Saturdays from 4-8 p.m. on WCLH. These two roles, however, are not the only ones that Don is able to play. He is also deeply entrenched in the theater here at Wilkes and will appear soon in the Wilkes production of Pericles the King. One might think that with all of these things keeping Don busy he would be hesitant to accept the strenuous job of running the college station. He seems to have no qualms about jumping from one position to the next. He sees the general manager's position as a good opportunity. He credits this to "a really workable staff, a really dedicated staff. They have shown dedication and promise as far as running good solid programming goes." According to Don his main goal as General Manager of WCLH is "to get people involved in other things than just being a DJ. For instance, I made it mandatory that everyone on the staff do one piece of production work, like a promo or a public service announcement. They have to script it and produce it themselves." This gives the members a chance to get experience in all facets of radio production, not just the obvious ones. Don feels that one of the biggest changes he's noticed since taking over the position was that the staff "runs more like a unit, not just an executive staff. Instead of having meetings every month, we meet every other week. This makes us more like a club instead of two different staffs." Don also sees marked inprovement in , the day to day interaction at WCLH. "More people are showing up to do their shows. People on the general staff are not intimidated by the executive staff. This makes for more consistent }Jfogramming." It has come to my attention that the effective political system that drives our nation runs at a 45 degree angle to what seems sane -and sensible to me. I've had terrific bad luck with candidates all my life, which doesn't do a lot for my political selfesteem. However, given my 100% rotten luck in seeing my candidates achieve voting success, I've decided to put my bad luck to work in predicting the next President of the United States. I am willing to offer my reverse expertise to the candidates, free of charge. To hell with New Hampshire, the best way to pick the candidates would be to ask me who I would most hate to see gain the office. Let's call that "The Barber Pole." Historically, even as a small child, I was adamantly in favor of Adlai Stevenson. My 100% percent accuracy at picking the winning candidate was underway. Kennedy threw off my track record for awhile, and I basked in the joy of having my candidate win. The victory, as you may recall, was short lived. I opposed Johnson and the Viet Nam war, but it wasn't until the onslaught of Richard Nixon that I really became vehement. Simultaneously, during this whole period, Ronald Reagan was governor of California, the state in which I was living at the time. I felt totally estranged. Imagine my horror when Ronald Reagan ran for President! And won! And then enjoyed the longest honeymoon with the press a recent .President has experienced. Shock became outrage when he was re-elected in '84. It was then the Barber Pole was born. Therefore, gentle readers, I offer my services to the candidates this election year on a professional basis. All the Barber Pole has to do is survey the candidates, find the most heinous, disgusting and repuslive candidate and Bingo! -- you've got your next President However, this year, there are so many awful candidates, that the Barber Pole is having some difficulty in selecting just which candidate is the unqualified worst. I have been · watching David Frost's interviews with fervor, but I must admit that so far all the candidates are registering very high on my "hate scale" - so I am having some trouble with my data. That was, until I watched Pat Robertson. My "repulso-meter" went off so violently last night-witnessing that insipid, false smile and brainless rhetoric-that I am fairly convinced that we here at the Barber Pole Headquarters are ready to pick Robertson as the most disgusting phoney to ever run for the office. And, therefore, if we follow form, I feel pretty confident in assuring you that he will become your next president I say yours because this time, if it really works. out that way, I will be leaving the country. Consider his ideologies. First of all, PR thinks that AIDS is first of all a moral dilemma and secondly a health issue. Since 90% of AIDS victims (his statistic) are either needle users or homosexuals, it follows that they brought this on themselves, that God is happy with the situation, and therefore Congress should continue to hide its head. This kind of thinking belongs in the electric chair, not in the swivel chair. Secondly, PR believes that God talks to him, directly. When asked to separate the Bible from the Constitution, PR was iffy about how he would do that, since, to PR, God wrote both of them. Perhaps Jim or Tammy should be vice-president God speaks to them, too. Or maybe Oral Roberts, he has a two-way phone system that he feels goes right to Heaven, pabulum, and the willing goat to religious propa it is packed an Jesus. But look ly.

Club feature Don feels that WCLH "gives Wilkes students a chance to get hands on experience with the operations of a radio station and its equipment It's just like any commercial station, except we, the students, get to make our own rules and run it the way we feel it should be run. Working with the equipment is the biggest thing. The station also gives a student a chance to move up in the ranks if he so desires." In addition to working to make a tighter staff, Don and WCLH have other projects underway including an internship for local high school students that will provide them an opportunity to come in and see how the station works (and also may serve valuable recruiting purposes) and an underwriting campaign that allows area business to sponsor specific shows in return for donations of money or goods, still leaving WCLH with their non-commercial status. Although obviously his role at WCLH is of primary importance, ·Don also serves a role as a campus leader. He sees this as one of his Continued on p. 9 Crew team moves on by Bruce Hom Looking out over the frozen river, the last thing on your mind has to be rowing. However, as proven by the recent warmer weather, spring is just around the comer and with that warmer weather is sure to come the sight of the Wilkes Crew Team rowing down the Susquehanna. The crew team was formed last semester when great interest was shown by both the school and the community. This sem- ester will be the club's first official season with races scheduled throughout the spring. The races will range from exhibition races on our river to official sanctioned races against teams such as Bucknell, Drexel, and Susquehanna, among others. Since the club's inception in September, members have shown nothing but positive responses. The generosity of alumni and faculty has allowed them to purchase three boats and still have a sizable balance in their bank account.

I can't say that I disliked what I heard, it just wasn't what I was used to listening to. So, I thought I should interview the DJ to find out who he was and what kind of music he played. Heavy-metal, that's what he said it is, and he is Jim Ferris, a Metal Monday DJ. Jim is a junior communications major from He's not a flasher or a thrasher. He's Jim Fems, .and he's a DJ! Kingston, PA. He has been a DJ since his freshman year, but this is his first year playing "metal" music. I conducted the interview by asking questions about his Metal Monday show: The Beacon: "How would you explain the kind of music you play?" Jim Ferris: "It is the next step up -- from rock and roll, to hard rock, to heavy metal. Who knows what comes next" T. B.: "Are you looking forward to what comes next?" J. F.: "By that time, I probably won't even like it" T.B.: "Who's your favorite group?" J. F.: "That's a tough one. Judas Priest because I listen to them the most. I also like older Aerosmith. T.B.: "What's wrong with the new Aerosmith?" J.F.: "It's too commercial. I don't only listen to metal. I like to listen to everything on WCLH because it's a good station." T.B.: "What groups do you play?" J.F.: "Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, Dokken. I play the newest in metal. I don't even know some of the things I play. I play music for my listeners, not for my own pleasure." While talking to Jim, I learned that he is not only a DJ, he is also the production manager at the radio station. He works with public service announcments, helps the engineers get the station .o n the air, and does promos. Jim explained that promos are self- · promoting commercials for the radio station ("You're listening to WCLH 90.7, new music 91.") T. B.: "Why should people listen to your show, and what time do you air?" J. F.: "My show is Monday nights from 9 to midnight. People should listen if they like the music -- it's a specialty show." T. B.: "Specialty show?" J. F.: "I just play metal. The radio station has specialty shows with jazz, dance, metal, and reggae." I asked Jeff to tell me about his plans for the future. He told me that he has no clue about what he wants to do after graduation. He knows · that he wants to be involved in radio or TV, but he hasn't made a definite decision. He wants to attend a "Monsters of Rock" concert this summer. It will include groups such as the Scorpions, Van Halen, Dokken, and Metallica, all in an arena for about four T.

"I was happy to have scored 1000 points. but I would have rather won more games and made the playoffs," Steeber remarked. "We've only made the playoffs once since I've been tournament Wilkes dropped both games played. but did have two players named to the all-tournament team: Nolan and Steeber. Nolan broke a tournament record scoring 30 points. Wilkes tied a record for most field goals made in one game. Things did not go well for games were not good ones for Wilkes as they suffered defeats from the University of Scranton and Elizabethtown. The next two games were big victories for the Colonels. In _the first game the Colonels traveled across town to defeat rival King's College. Delaware Valley then came into the Wilkes' Gym to take on' the Colonels. The Colonels rallied to a 72-66 victory. The trip to Susquehanna didn't end favorably for the Colonels as the Crusaders beat Wilkes 88-79. On Saturday, February 6, the Colonels hosted Lycoming. Behind the shooting of Steeber and Nolan the Colonels criused to a 88-79 victory. Again, road trips were not kind to the Colonels as they lost two games to Drew and Scranton. Score-wise, both Nolan and Argentati had a good night netting 29 and 23 points respectively in the Drew game. In the Scranton game Wilkes was able to stay with the Royals in the first half and early in the second period. In the middle of . the second half the Royals went on a 19-2 run and the Colonels fell victim to a 70-64 loss. The trip to FDU-Madison didn't prove to be much better. The Colonels were defeated by the Jersey Devils 83-70. The home game against College Misericordia was a better one. The Cougars con-trolled most of the first half but the Colonels came back in the second, behind the shooting of - Steeber. Nolan, and Argentati. It was in this. ·game that Nolan went over the 500 mark for the season. The last game of the season and the last game to be played in the present gym was heartbreaking for the Colonels. They were defeated by the Juniata Indians, 82-72. "We have a lot of hard work in front of us," Rainey said. "I don't think anyone is happy with the way things ended. We have to get better defensively. That's a glaring problem that really sticks out. We're losing our two best rebounders in Scott (Jacoby) and Jeff (Steeber). Our offense is a real plus. We know what we need, and we have to try to fill it through recruiting. That's the key right now." Jacoby summed up his last season at Wilkes this way: "Just playing and being part of the system here at Wilkes was big thrill for me. Also, getting to The men's basketball season came to a close Saturday afternoon. Things didn't go exactly the way coach Ron Rainey and his team had hoped it would back in November. But the season was not a total loss because with each game the young players~ showed consistent improvement "To sum up the season, one word comes to mind: inconsistency," Rainey said. "That could have been caused by a couple of things. One could have been the changes in personnel. We didn't do as well as I hoped or thought we could. We played hard every game with the exception of a couple games. We set some goals but I don't think we played smart all the , time as a team." "I don't think we did as well as we should have:" stated senior Jeff Steeber. "Our record is definitely not an indication of how good we really are." Rainey only loses two players to graduation this year: forward Steeber and center Scott Jacoby. "We lose two very valuable players in Scott and Jeff. Scott was invaluable. He did all the little things that really count but don't show up in the stat sheets. Jeff was one of our leading scorers and showed us some good leadership." said Rainey. "I was pleased with the leadership both of them showed Basketball senior co-captains Scott Jacoby and Jeff Steeber. this season." here and it would have been great the Colonels _after that as they "We're definitely losing a to have done it again this year." lost MAC games to Lycoming, lot of talent in both Jeff and Nolan became only the third King's. and FDU-Madison.

In the first half of the Scranton game, the Colonels played aggressively and were able to keep the Royals in check. Wilkes scored first with a three point shot by sophomore Dave Argentati. Early in the game the lead switched hands several times. Argentati and sophomore guard Jim Nolan were strong, shooting from the outside, but the Royals countered with aggressive inside shooting to keep the scoring close. Late in the first period the Colonels held a 29-27 lead. Early in the second half the Colonels continued to stay with the Royals in scoring. With 12 minutes left of play the score was tied at 4 7.

Even though the score was lopsided in the Lady Tiger's favor, coach Jodi Kest and her team showed tremendous courage when they faced the secondranked team in the nation. When the Lady Tigers of Auburn came into meet Wilkes in the final basketball game to be played in the present gym, the Lady Colonels weren't expected to win. The score may have ended 107-35, but during the game the Lady Colonels never Kennedy helped bring the Lady Colonels to within one point. Then Auburn took control and put the game out of reach. At halftime the Lady Colonels went to the locker room trailing 48-23. Auburn outscored Willces 59-12 in the second half. Freshman . Kelly Ruff led Wilkes in scoring with nine points. Kennedy and senior Diane Smith each added seven points. Smith played her last game as a Lady Colonel Saturday night and was presented with flowers and ballons by the team before the start of the game.

Jim Healey, a sophomore who is active in student government was in charge of the entire weekend. "It went pretty well. The deans thought it was a big success. The teams cooperated and followed rules. There were really no problems at all," he said. "I think the weekend very well. I was impressed that the alcohol, if any, remained invisible," said John Rosania, president of the Wilkes College student government Many teams participated in the weekend's events.

The opening ceremonies Friday evening turned out to be a wonderful beginning to this year's events. The spirit that each team felt was quite obvious at Friday's ceremonies. Every team involved made flags of the nations they represented. Healey said everyone was excited, but the opening ceremonies remained under control. Many people felt the best events of the weekend were the "Bat Spin" and the tug- of -war. The "Bat Spin" was enjoyable for the audience to watch because the participants had to spin around a bat and run back and tag a team member. The reason the event was so much fun to watch was because after spinning around the bat, the participants could not return to their team members in a straight line. The tug-of-war was a success because it promoted the aspect of teamwork. Healey said of this event that it was "great to see people working together to obtain a common goal". The closing ceremonies on Sunday went quite well according to Healey. This years winter weekend was apparently "one of the best this school has ever had." Although the exact amount of money earned has not been tabulated, approximately $500 was donated to Easter Seals. The Wilkes- Barre community felt positive about winter weekend according to Healey.

Evers responsibility. First there was the bell tower, soon there will be the gym, and a veritable plethora of other improvements is in the works for this campus. But there is one improvement that has been ignored too long, one that is sadly overdue. Last spring, a student fell from the center stairwell in Pickering Hall. As a result of the accident, that student was left paralyzed. Recently, another student fell from the same staircase in Pickering Hall and fractured his skull. Now we hear that "deterrents" are being installed around the staircase to "insure student safety." One question, however, must be asked: why did it take two student accidents (and the threat of lawsuits) to motiviate a change in the design of the staircase? The staircase was an obvious problem and a hazard to the students who live in that dormitory. It should have been obvious after the first accident that something had to be done to prevent other students from suffering the same fate. Instead, almost a year later, these deterrents are just now being installed. Why did it take the fall of another ~tudent from the staircase to precipitate this campus improvement? Why did it take another student injury before the College was able to see that the stairwell was poorly placed and planned? Deterrents, if they will make a difference, realistically should have been part of the design of the staircase from the beginning, and ignoring that, at least should have been installed long before the first student ever fell. The threat of lawsuits and the damage to. College image was probably a definite motivating factor in the installation of these deterrents. Yes, preventing lawsuits and improving image is a valid reason for installing deterrents, but student safety is an even more valid reason. Yes, Wilkes is concerned about its students, but why build a bell tower when there are other viral improvements to be made? This issue is not one-sided. The students' own responsibility cannot be ignored. Wilkes College is supposed to be producing capable adults. But does part of the maturing process include careless (and many times drunken) behavior? The residents of Pickering Hall should ~ake up on~e and fo~ all and realize that people are gettmg hurt there. Still, the College is no doubt aware of the use of alcohol in the dorms and the drink-'tilyou-do-something-asinine mentality of some of the dorm's occupants. And if the College had been unaware, they should have become aware after the first accident and made the necessary disciplinary or physical changes to the atmosphere. One can only hope that the installation of these ~e_terrents will prevent any more students from being mJured. One can only hope that the College will take a cue from these incidents and work to improve the things on the campus that are truly important instead of concentrating on surface beautification and image enhancement. Priorities were somewhat skewed in the management of this issue. Instead of improving the College's image with the installation of new structures like bell tower, the school ran the risk of damaging the school's reputat\On by directly or indirectly ignoring the needs of the students. Another hope is that students will think about the thin_gs that they do more fully. College is where students begm assuming responsibility for their actions; it is where students make the transition into adulthood. Let's face it hanging off of a halcony when you've had one too many i~ just a pl~~n stupid_ thing to do. It doesn't show any responsibility and illustrates a general lack of maturity that may be running just a little too rampant around campus. Horseplax. is horseplay only until it costs someone the use of his legs, or worse yet costs him his life. ' Will it take a death to teach Wilkes students and Wilkes College the lesson of responsibility? It looks like it's finally going to happen. The event that we've all been waiting for-and, no, it's not the Barnum and Bailey Circus. , What is this near-miraculous act? Is it the realization of global peace? An overwhelming victory for the Cleveland Indians in the next World Series? The discovery of a cure for cancer? No, it isn't any of these. It is, however, an event of equally momentous proportions. They're tearing down the gym. I don't know about you, but this came as a big shock to me. I was beginning to accept the groundbreaking for the new Sports and Conference Center as an eventuality that would not be seen by our generation (or for several generations to come, for that matter). So I was pretty happy to hear that groundbreaking . was actually scheduled for Friday morning. Even if the gym's not going to be done for a while, at least it's been started, and that's great. Just think--future Wilkes students' won't have to trek to the JCC for gym classes. And the new SCC will have, I hope, plenty of space for student meetings and campus events as well as for administrative and faculty conferences and meetings. But I have to admit that something about this groundbreaking has me pretty distressed. To be quite honest, it's the last part of the word that's got me troubled--"breaking." It's a pretty destructivesounding word, isn't it? Don't get me wrong. I think the SCC's going to be a Wanted: DISTRIBUTION MANAGER. No experience necessary, will train.

But to break ground in the lot by the gym, the College will have to commit murder-herbicide, if you will--because there .are several trees on that very plot of earth. This little bit of tree-killing might not seem like a big deal to you, but if you look at it in the context of other, similar actions that have taken place at Wilkes this year, you'll realize that there's a conspiracy here. What other acts of herbicide have been committed under our very noses? I'm glad you asked, because I've been keeping an informal tally. Here's a list of some of the worst offenses: 1) The trees that were cut down outside of Evans Hall earlier this year; 2) The tree that was cut down outside the Evans lot; 3) All of the grass and shrubbery that was tom up to provide room for the concrete Belltower Plaza. What's the reason for this, you might ask? Well, you see, some of the higher-ups at Wilkes are afraid of plants. Call it plant phobia, if you will--but it's spreading. Creeping like a vine-to use a more appropriate image. Don't think for a moment that the planting of trees on Campus Beautification Day nullifies this, either. That was just a blind, so that we don't realize what's really going on. Think about it for a second: the College tears up seven trees, three bushes, and a whole plot of grass, and plants a teeny tiny sapling, one worthy of a Charlie Brown Christmas Special. Pretty suspicious, isn't it? Couple this observation with the fact that so mllJ parking lots around cam been repaved, and you to see a glimmer of Ibo plan. Yep. That's it.

You are responsible for the death of this person. There could be lawsuits because the person that sat in your car to take a short trip to school, or to take an afternoon trip to the mall, was killed. Why? The seat belt law in New Jersey and several other states in this country says that the driver of a car is responsible for the welfare of his/her passengers. The seat belt law has crossed Pennsylvania's borders. Now, in this state, the driver of a car is required by law to make his/her passengers wear a seatbelt. Is "buckling up" such a difficult thing to do? There have been many responses to this newly established seatbelt law. I talked to a few students to get a perspective that extended beyond my own. "I think the seat belt law is a good one because it saved my pet ferret, Menudo. We were coming back to school from New York, and when we came into Pennsylvania I didn't bother to take my seat belt off. When we got .onto route 115, we hit a patch of ice, and had an accident. If I wasn't wearing the belt, Menudo, who was inside my jacket, would have been killed," said Dennis Mejias, a senior cocaptain of the wrestling team . "I feel like people should wear their seat belts, although I personally only wear it in bad weather. If wearing seat belts would become mandatory, and punishable in a worse way than simply a fine, I would wear it," said Tom McFadden, a freshman from Reading, Pennsylvania. "I totally agree with the law 100 percent because it prevents the passenger from hitting the dashboard or the windshield," said a freshman who chose to PAGE THREE remain anonymous. the lack of a sealtbelt could do "I think wearing seat bealts to someone," he said boldly. should be a law because it is One day he was called to the such a simple measure, and it scene of a very messy car accicould easily save your life," said dent.

Are the Democrats going to get their chance to rule the White House and Congress after eight years of Ronald Reagan?

"I don't like any of the candidates. I'd like to see four years without a president until they come · up with some real candidates," said Jim Barsic. "I really don't care who wins because all they ever do is cut financial aid and they think that benefits students who wish to further their education," said Kechia Lipsey. "Hopefully Gary Hart, he's cute!"· remarked Joelle Olenik, with a smile from ear to ear; "Mike Dukakis, because of his past actions with developing the state of Massachusetts, and I was born in Massachusetts," said Christine Romanchyk. "Jimmy Swaggart because he's a moral and just man," said Jeff Churba. "Mike Dukakis. He's a good Democrat from New England and he gets down to basics," said Dave Vanderlyke. "Mike Dukakis, because out of .::very single candidate thus far he's shown the most strength in terms of leadership. If not him then Jimmy Pheromone," said Andy Morrell. "Bush. He has the most solid and consistent backing," said Wendy Flick. "Paul Simon. He is for education and against Contra Aid and he's against organized crime. He's done a real lot in Illinois to stop crime.

Interested students are asked to attend meetings on the first of every month in · the · I.E.E.E. room in the basement of the Wilkes College library. Members of the Student Life committee discussed student participation. by Kim Klimek The Student Life Committee met Tuesday to evaluate the purpose of the group and generate student interest in campus activities. Colonel David Billings, / Student Life Committee chairman, suggested working to achieve unity on a largely departmentalized and individualized campus. The same individualization which leads to a higher understanding of life may be drawing · the campus members further apart instead of uniting them in their search for truth. According to faculty members, there are "many little factions on campus," generated . by individualization and the need for special interest groups. Students are encountering similar problems. They are either too concerned about personal problems to get involved in. campus activities or are finding it hard to comm_it themselves to one group without hurting the feelings of friends involved in other groups. This indi.vid-. ualization may also be resulting in an "apathy" for activities that do not pertain to self-interests. Because there are so many groups at Wilkes, a relatively small college, these groups are finding it hard to achieve unity. Acccording to .

All the rest have thirty-one, except the second month alone, to which we twenty-eight assign, til leap year gives it twentynine." Yes, it's that time again. You know what time I mean, leap year, when everybody's watch with a calendar gets messed up, when the Olympics run their course, and the year feels longer, because it really is! We all know that the reason there is a leap year is because the solar year is really 365.25 days long, so they save the .25 until the fourth year and add an extra day. However, did you know that the year is really 365.242 days · long and was rounded up to .25. That little bit of a day adds up over the centuries, so the discrepency was adjusted by adding the extra day only to century years that are exactly divisible by 400, meaning the year 2000 will, but, 2100 won't. Leap years in tween these years will also be "normal." So, 2096 will be a leap year, 2100 won't, and 2104 will. Get it? Didn't think so. Regardless of the fact that it confuses everyone, leap year has a lot going for it. For example, the Olympics. Every four years, on a leap year, the nations of the world lay dowii their weapons and join in a peaceful competition. That alone would make leap year a pretty special year, but there is more. When my friends found out I would be writing an article about leap year, they informed me that I simply had to mention that Sadie Hawkins Day falls on leap day. I had been unaware of this fact, so I decided to do some research before I wrote anything. What I found out was that there is no satisfactory explanation of where the custom of women wooing the men on leap year originated. However, I did learn that in 1288, the tradition was made a law in Scotland. This law stipulated that if the man refused when he was proposed to, he was required to pay the sum of one pound. While this day is now commonly known as Sadie Hawkins Day, it is actually called Bachelor's Day. Naturally, there are people who are born on leap day. Until I began researching this article, I thought (like everyone else did) that they only , had a birthday every four years. Well, that's not true. King Henry IV took care of that. He declared that on non-leap years, people born on February 29 would have their official birthday on February 28. That proclamation was very beneficial to many famous people. For example, Pope Paul II, who was born in 1468, was born on leap day. He was the pope who excommunicated King Henry VIII, a descendent of the king who gave him a yearly birthday. That's gratitude for you. Some other people who were born on leap day include, Jimmy Dorsey, the famous musician during the Big Band Era; Ann Lee, the religious leader who founded the American sect of the Shakers; John Philip Holland, t was ev ege Thei in Gray': ow I Got ran like to bottom Dr. Mic As is the tradition on Sadie Hawkin's Day, the lady asks the marry her.

Nordic (or cross-country) skiing will be done at Frances Slocum Park. It is a large park with lots of hills and is actually used by local people for just that purpose. Throw down some target areas and, presto, we've got a place for the biathalon. The only event left to place would be ski jumping. Wilkes College has also taken care of that with the latest edition to campus. They want us to believe it was built to be a centerpiece on campus, a place to meet. But I know the truth! The Belltower · is actually the beginnings of the start houses for the 70 and 90 meter ski jump. The ramp will be constructed soon and will have little hooks on the end so it can be lifted to its 70 meter or 90 meter height. Of course this means the structure itself will have to be raised. No big deal, why do you think the initial hole was so. big? Because the rest is in the ground waiting to be hydraulically elevated. In the year 2000 events such as the ski jump will be changed slightly to fit its surroundings. I mean, we can't tear down the library just for the Olympics, can we? So a target will be painted on · the roof and the jumps will become a target shoot as well as a technical howe the a1 up of Roi howsk sport.

Or to hear Al Michaels asking "Do you believe in miracles?" from the Olympic Dean Ralston Dome (at OlymP-ic Emblem Wilk,s-Bam, that time, the fonner Ice Complex).

He chose not to accept the freedom he was offered and stayed in Amboland, where he died a tragic death. The scenery was perfect in its simplicity.

Well, not deep enough I guess because I was awakened by the sound of a sharp knock on my door. "Come in," I yelled from my bed, thinking it would be Ed waking me from a sound sleep as he always does. But there was silence. The door had not opened. I turned over to yell once more. Then I stopped. There was someone there. It was an ominous figure cloaked in black standing beside my bed. "Who are you?" I asked. "Ask me not who I am," said the figure, "but follow me and I shall show you the destiny of man." I agreed under the condition we would return in time to see WWF Wrestling Spotlight. He then led me out the door into another place. This place was unlike any other place I had ever visited. It looked sort of like a cylinder-shaped Howard Johnson's, like that factory that Mike Brady designed for Bebe Galini that was shaped like a lipstick. Anyway, he led me into this building, then onto an elevator. But the funny thing about it was that the elevator started on the top of this building and took us downward. "Why are we starting at the top?" I asked the figure as we began our descent. But before he could answer, the el- evator came to a halt. "This," "Hey," I said. "This is a men's fourth floor."

When the phone rang it was Bunny, my old stewardess girlfriend who flies all the hot spots between Roanoke and Honesdale on U.S. Air. She was on a lay-over in Avoca due to snow and was anxious for a little culture. I told her I had two tickets to Michael ONeill's production of Amlin Gray's "How! Got That Story." "Hnnng?" Bunny demurred. "Trust me, " I assured her. I picked her up at the Scranton Hilton and drove her to Wilkes. The lobby at Darte was abuzz with culture. We found our places and the show began. Suddenly we were plunged into Southeast Asia, circa the late '60s. A bamboo fence and a cascade of flats formed the simple yet effective set by Carl Ruling. The lighting was done by a robot named SCT 342. Bob Wachowski came on as an innocent war correspondent from the Midwest. And suddenly, there was Rob Johansen as a Coolie, there was Rob Johansen as a newspaper publisher, there was Rob Johansen as Madame Ng. I was flabbergasted by his infinite dexterity. I looked into Bunny's eyes. I looked right out her ears. "What's going on?!" Bunny whispered. "I don't get it." "Ssh!" I hushed her. ''I'll explain later." And there came Rob Johansen as a Marine drill sergeant swearing like a real trooper. Bunny giggled nervously. And there came Rob Johansen as five different people in five different bars, as a self-immolating Buddhist monk, and a madman reporter covered with slogan buttons and wearing a leg cast. Meanwhile, -backstage in the role of costume lady, the part of Michele Palmieri was effectively rendered by Michele Palmieri. When the attendant slide show announced intermission, Bunny and I made our way to the lobby. Bunny had a look of confusion on her face the likes of which I've only seen . on small forest animals. She asked me to buy her some M&Ms, and by way of making conversation in the line I asked her how she was enjoying the play. "I'm not sure," Bunny wondered, "but a lot of those actors really look alike." "All the parts are being played by Rob Johansen," I told her outright. "Even the reporter?" Bunny questioned. "No, that's Bob Wachowski," I told her. Then she wanted to know who played Madame Ng. When I finally, and for the last time, told her that Rob Johansen, versatile actor that he is, was playing all the other parts-- the various character roles opposite Bob Wachowski-- she seemed finally to understand. I bought her M&Ms and gave them to her. "Oh, I get it," Bunny said. "I guess Wilkes must have a really small drama department, hnnng? Were those the only two actors who auditioned?" One thing I can say for Bunny, her blouse fits well. I showed her the program: seven people in "Running Crew", three in another ten or twelve working together to the play. "You might say show is going on offered. Bunny shru should see what B does when she shrugs. "Well, how come Whatzizname only gctr one part?" she pouted.

There will be windows to fix, showers and faucets to fix, walls to paint, and many other projects to choose from ." Helping out in a soup kitchen and meeting some of the homeless people of New York will have a definite impact on those invohed with the renovations. The later part of the evening can be spent being educated about the homeless by guest ~peakers, or it can be used for personal time. There will be time for sightseeing, discussions, prayer, scripture, keeping a journal, and yes, FUN, too! The religious part of the week will be optional. When asked about the week of renovation, Vento replied, "I think it would be an eye-opening week. Everyone together at one time in one place can use the work of their hands and hearts. We can help others while opening ourselves to new things." Volunteers In Service In Our Neighborhoods (VISION) is a local group which provides shelter and support service for the homeless here in Wilkes-Barre. "Sleep-out on Public Square," the event scheduled for April 22-23, will be another experience hard to forget Meeting some of the homeless people you see around town, listening to informative speeches given about being homeless, and the actual experience of sleeping outside, will be · a unique way to learn about unfortunate people in Wilkes-Barre.

"Yes," said the figure, "It is I... Ed Moyer. I have something I'd like you to see." He handed me a paper. It appeared to be very old. At the bottom was a signature... Mine! Suddenly, I heard that same sharp knock again. I opened my eyes to find myself back in my bed once again. "Open up, it's me!" said a voice. I jumped up and opened the door. "Eddie!" I sighed in relief, "I just had the scariest dream!" "Calm down," said Ed, "you know that dreams aren't real." "I know," I said, "but...well, I guess you're right." "Sure I am," he said, "You're back in reality now! C'mon, lets watch professional wrestling!" "Okay," I said, realizing how fortunate we are to be able to recognize what is real. right here in Willces-Barre," says Vento. Sleeping on Public Square will educate the public that there is a problem with the homeless here in Wilkes-Barre. It will bring about an awareness of the need for a permanent shelter. The shelter presently provided for the homeless is only temporary. The site is moved weekly from church to church through out the city. Along with educating the public, the sleep-out will also be a fund raiser to benefit VISION. There will be simulation games about hunger and the homeless. Religious parts of the sleep-out will be optional. In Wilkes-Barre there is a soup kitchen, St. , Vincent de Paul, located on Union Street near King's College. It serves lunch for people with fixed incomes, the homeless, and the less fortunate of Wilkes-Barre, every day of the year. Approximately 200 people arrive for lunch every day. If students are not interested in the renovation or the sleep-out, but are interested in helping the homeless, the soup kitchen is looking for help. Fridays at 10 am students can meet Debbie Marquat, Wilkes College student, in Stark lobby at the desk. She goes to the soup kitchen every Friday to help prepare and serve food for the underprivileged, and she encourages other students to lend a hand. She stays in the kitchen from 10 until 12:40, and eats lunch with the people. If interested in the renovation or the sleep-out, students can contact Tony Vento at 8234168, or 822-6315. He will answer any questions concerning the homeless.

"Seven of the' games we lost were in the final minute of play. Hopefully we have learned how it feels to lose, and we won't want that feeling back, and w~'ll start and we'll be a better team next year." The season did have its bright moments though. The Lady Colonels pulled out an overtime victory against the Lady Monarchs of King's College in the Scandlon Gymnasium. "The most satisfying part of the season was probably when we beat some quality teams in King's and Marywood," Kest said. "Also, knowing that most of the kids will be back next season." Kest has a her own philosophy about success: "One's success is not always determined by wins and losses but by the way in which you grow from the experiences." to win." The hardest part of the seaon for Kest and her team was the losing, especially the close games. "It's really frustrating to lose as many close games as we did. We really played hard to the very end," Kest stated. "The hardest part for me w~ the losing. I'm not accustomed to losing. I've never been involved in a losing program and it gets frustrating. It was tough for the players to get motivated. I hope we all ew from the experience, had another stroke of bad luck when 150-pounder Joe Iannuzzi suffered a serious accident. "We used a lot of different guys, and after Joe got hurt I wasn't sure how it would turn out. But Mike Schroat had an exceptional year for us. Craig Rome jumped up a weight class and really made our middleweights solid," said Reese. Coach Reese has a lot to say about his two senior cap-tains, Dennis Mejias and Rome. Rome was the silent leader who led with example and always came through when called upon. But the defending EIWA Champion will have to make a decision as to which weight class he will enter. Reese added "I feel Craig will have a bette; -F----'l-=ooc:...r-'-'=--=h::...:.o'--c-=:k:.::e:::y:_::.::::_:::.:.:t:.:::::.~~i~.t*4M•·•·•M )~!l.thl1rH§HiHr~g1H\1H'aM~M .

Hats off to Matt off Brian Bauer for the 118 spot. Coach Reese feels that the AllAmerican can improve Mejias' performance from last year. Looking back on this season,_ the Colonels were a team that never gave up, always putting out 110 percent. The only bad match, according to Reese, was the victory over East Stroudsburg. "We were just ranked and the kids were afraid of losing the ranking," he said. Now it is time for Eastems and once again Reese is · optimistic: "We are a much better dual-meet team than tournament team." But in a tournament anything can happen and Coach Reese feels it will be a four-team race for the championship. There are four wrestlers that have a good shot at making it to Nationals. So it has been another banner year for the Colonel wrestling squad and hopefully Eastems will bring greater recognition to th~ Wilkes program.

"I of the freshman very hard to handle were losing so much. next year is going to tczak 1eeler hultz 236 estor 204 1ch get better," Kest stated. "Everyone will be back next year, but Diana (Smith). If we can get some key players, we can become a team that can be competitive." The only senior on the team was co-captain Diana Smith. Smith was a four-year starter and two-year captain. She led the team in assists for the past four years. Junior co-captain Melissa Kennedy put in another fine performance this season, leading the team in rebounds. She was second in scoring with 252 points. Eight of the ten players were freshman and new to the Wilkes program this season. Angie Miller and Nicole Kovaleski led the newcomers. "Angie started off slow, but from the middle part to the end of the season she really came through for us," commented Kest. Miller led the team in scoring with 335 points and was fourth m rebounding with 140. Kovaleski was hot in the mid-portion of the season but sustained an ankle injury in a game against King's and was forced to sit out the last six or seven games. She was able to net 204 points and pull down 141 rebounds for the Lady Colonels. Kelly Ruff also turned in a fine performance for Wilkes. She was the second leading rebounder for the Lady Colonels with 146 and fifth in scoring with 172. "Kelly is only a twoyear player and she really learned a lot this season," said Kest. Six-foot center Lisa Burak, a sophomore transfer student from Gettysburg, was also an asset to the team this year. "Lisa came through for us at the end of the season. She became a more aggressive and assertive player," Kest said. The Lady Colonels finished second in the two tournaments they played this year: St. John Fisher Tournament and The Wilkes College Letterwomen's Tournament. Five of the games lost were to teams that were ranked in the top ten.

It was a good game, with the Schloms giving the talented Tri Siam's all they could handle. In the beginning of the game, the quick play of guards Colin Mondero and Craig Stevens built an early lead for the Tri Slams. The Schloms battled back behind the shooting of Ron Fusco and Pat Breagle to stay close. With four seconds left in the first half, the Schloms held a slim lead, but Stevens went the length of the court to hit a buzzer beater giving Tri Slam a one point lead. The first onsugar 19 arusewicz aunders half was very intense and well- · played, but the high-light of the first half was Churba's thunderous dunk. The second half started the same as the first with Tri Slam running and gunning to build its lead. But the Schloms just wouldn't quit as they they battled back to make the score close. They couldn't overcome the Tri Slam lead, however. The Beacon congratulates Jim Byrne for doing an excellent job running the league this year.

First, it ended a banner dual-meet season for the Colonels, and second, it was the last sporting event to be held in the present gym. The Colonels finish the season with a 21-1 record. This ties with a school record. A host of past Wilkes wrestlers watched the Colonels close out the 1987-88 season with a hard-fought win over Ivy League champ, Cornell. The former Wjlkes wrestlers were on hand for the 35th Anniversary of Coach John Reese's coaching career at Wilkes. Brian Bauer continued his outstanding wrestling this season with an 11-4 decision over Eric Kauffman. The match in the 126 weight class was a shocker, as Cornell's Chris Labbate defeated Dennis Mejias by a score of 10-4. Putting forth a big effort for the Colonels, Ron Miller dominated Cornell's Salenno 22-7. The injury of Marc Palanchi forced Coach Reese to move wrestlers up a weight class. Colonel of the Week Freshman Dave Bonomo came through with a 6-3 victory at 142. Frank Castano lost in a heartbreaking match as an apparent takedown was disallowed, and he was defeated 7-6. Frank Goldowski showed no signs of a shoulder injury when he defeated Cornell's Joe Guciaardo 6-1. In the 167 weight class Merril Neal lost a tough 5-0 decision to Andy Rice. Mike Schroat continued his impressive wrestling as he. defeated Todd DcMonte 10-3. Craig Rome has probably been Wilkes' most consistent wrestler this season. The jump to 190 pounds for Rome on Saturday proved this as he recorded a technical fall over Bob Hart. Steve Schannauer capped off the victory for the Colonels with a 4-2 win over Jeff Farrow. Last Wednesday the Colonels traveled to Kutztown to take on the Golden Bears. Wilkes came away 37-7 victors. Bauer recorded a technical fall at 118. Mejias scored a pin in the 126 pound class, and Miller won by a major decision at 134. Bonomo continued his winning ways with an 11-4 victory. Neal recorded a technical fall at 167.

Most people see wrestling as an individual sport, but it is the team that makes the individual strong. "We had a good group of guys this year, and the closeness made the year," stated Reese.

Well, ask anyone walking down Franklin Street today to describe the Wilkes College gymnasium and they will probably look at you and say, "What gymnasium?" All that remains of the Wilkes gym is a large pile of rubble and upturned land. I am the frrst to admit that I was skeptical about the razing of the gym. After all, various sources had been telling The Beacon since September that the gym would be razed in October. October came and went; the gym remained standing. Now, over four months later, the gorund has been broken and the new gym will soon become a reality. But how much the reality of the gyrµ will resemble the "Wonder Gym" is as yet uncertain. The problem with creating the Wilkes Wonder Gym can be summed up in one word--financing. President Breiseth said at the groundbreaking that as of this moment, Wilkes College is approxiqiately three million dollars short of the estimated 5.5 million dollars it will cost to build the gym. The Beacon has since found out that this shortage is covered by a bond issue--in essence, a loan that the College has five years to pay back. This is a substantial financial liability for the College, because it has to pay the money back, with interest. Even if the College is operating in the black, it is still a substantial amount of money that has to be budgeted for this purpose. In addition, The Beacon understands that at a recent faculty meeting it was reported that smaller, less important items such as the sauna, the new mats, and other odds and ends were in consideration of beiog cut from the plans. One wonders if this is because of the financing. The original bid for the gym was, after all, more than the College anticipated. Of course, students shouldn't complain. A new gym is a new gym, right? Perhaps not. With a project as large and costly as the gym, one might expect the College to have problems coming u with the considerable financing it would take to complete such a project. But the solution, when it becomes obvious that financing may be difficult, is not to begin cutting features from the new gym. This is especially true when one considers that the features are what makes the gym an improvement over the old one. Size alone, although definitely a contributing factor, does not a Wonder Gym make. The features were one of the main points that Wilkes College stressed when it announced the gym plans to the Wilkes community. How can these features be taken away now that the gym is this close to becoming reality? Perhaps Wilkes College should have set its sights a little lower. The College must have anticipated the problem with financing. Perhaps instead of trying to build th~s _image-boosting Wonder Gym, they should have concentrated on buildmg a gym that woul_d be_ a functional improvement . f~r stu?~nts' u~,. _taking into cons1derauon the means and contnbuuon-raismg ab1hues of the College. Yes, the gym did need improvement, but did Wilkes have to undertake such a weighty project as the Sports and Conference Center without the means to back it? . A reducti?n in sc~pe 1!1ay not have been feasible. With ta_lk ~f Wilkes becommg a umvers1ty, the school needs a gym that will fit that kind of image. It is vital to have a Wonder Gym before you can expect to have a Wonder School. But still, money should have been more of a consideration before the gym was actually razed. The second option would have been to wait. Build the gym once the financing was in, once Wilkes was able to realistically see the gym being finished with all of the anticipated features. The construction might have taken a few more years, but at least the gym could have had all the features that seemed so important when the project was announced. And again, all these problems are magnified by the College's consistent concern with image. If the only concern with the gym was the gym • itself, there would have been no problem with either scaling down the plans to fit Wilkes' means or waiting a sufficient time for the financing to come in. Instead Wilkes would rather raze the old gym and start a project that, in the long run, will place a considerable financial burden on the College. I am as happy as anyone to see the new gym being built. The facility is needed, and the students will certainly benefit from this edifice. But we must question the College's planning of this structure. Yes, the gym will be built, but only time will tell just how much the gym in progress will resemble the Wonder Gym. That · not moot 1s · the actual point is now moot. But a point that is development of this school. Campus improvement is important, but we cannot sacrifice sound judgment for the sake of image.

'I feel like people should lbeir seat belts, although I y only wear it in bad . If wearing seat belts become mandato , and toonist-Jos vine" - a new law in P.A. punishable in a worse way than simply a fine, I would wear it," said Tom McFadden, a freshman from Reading, Pennsylvania. "I totally agree with the law 100 percent because it prevents the passenger from hitting the dashboard or . the windshield," said a freshman who chose to . remain anonymous. "I think wearing seat bealts should be a law because it is such a simple measure, and it could easily save your life," said Jen McNamara, a sophomore from Rhode Island "I think that each person should be allowed to wear a seatbelt if they choose to. However if they don't want to, they shouldn't have to. After all, it's their own life," said another student wishing to remain anonymous. It is now a law in Pennsylvania. Seat belts are required for the passengers in the front seat of the car, as well as the driver. A Pennsylvania state policeman told me that although "a civilian will not be pulled over because they are not wearing their seat belt, they will be fined if their negligence is caught. If they are pulled over for speeding, and they are not wearing their belt, they will be fined." Many people are not affected by the safety aspect of seatbelts. No one ever expects to get into a car accident, so why bother wearing seatbelts? The main point is one that has been said many times before: the other driver makes the mistakes, not you. Wear your seat belt to save your life from other people's mistakes. I still remember when I sat in my Driver-Ed class in high school. The teacher raved endlessly about the importance of wearing a seatbelt, but I never really heard him. I had heard it said so many times before. At that point in my life I didn't really care anyway. One day the teacher brought in a film to convince us of the importance of "buckling up." The film was very simple, because it merely showed a police officer in uniform pacing back and forth in front of the screen. "Let me tell you about the day I realized what the lack of a sealtbelt could do to someone," he said boldly. One day he was called to the scene of a very messy car accident. Two young girls, 18 and 19 years old, were driving through town on a Friday night when suddenly a car ran a stop sign and hit the driver's side of the car. When the police officer arrived, the passenger of the car, the 18 year old, was sitting on . the s1"d ew alk , hoId"mg an 1maginary doll, rocking and crying softly for her "mommy." The physical impact of the accident was so severe that it had comPletly destroyed her mental abilities. By the time the ambulance arrived, the girl was in a coma. She died a week later. The driver of the car had been killed instantly. The police officer was so disturbed by the accident that he said he cried for 4 days. He told the audience that the girls could have possibly lived if they had been wearing their seat belts.

Resulting symptoms are highly individual. Some of the symptoms include tingling sensations, numbness, slurred speech, blurred or double vision, muscle weakness, poor coordination, unusual fatigue, muscle cramps, spasms, problems with bladder, bowel and sexual function, and paralysis. MS can attack almost any area of the central nervous system. The local chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society is located in the Provincial Towers in Wilkes - Barre. According to Christine Patterson, local MS coordinator, the Wilkes-Barre office was set last year after a merger between the North Central Pennsylvania Chat.er ( Williamsport) and the Central Pennsylvania Chapter. When the new staff examined the Wilkes-Barre area, they found that a high percentage of people in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties have been diagnosed as having MS and there were no local facilities to accomodate them. Local coordinators, such as Patterson, were brought to designated regions to help people find their way through the maze of medical, insurance, and governmental bureaucracies. These coordinators are avaliable to supply information about local MS programs and work directly with MS victims and their families to solve problems encountered as a result of the paralyzing disease. Patterson said that over 77% of these individuals have been displaced from jobs as a result of MS. The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, founded in 1946, is the only non-profit health oranization in the United States supporting programs in national and international research to find the cause, prevention, better treatments and cure for people with multiple sclerosis. Over 140 chapters and branches of the MS Society have been created to serve people with MS and their families.

I figured what the hey, you never know whether The Beacon is going to come out, so I might as well take advantage of a pseudo-snow day. Actually, considering the shameful neglect over getting The Beacon • out on the stand last week, I guess everyone has lost interest in reading it anyway. So why bother with a column? See, I can get right into the old college spirit of Excuse Manufacturing right along with the best of them. Besides, if I did bother to write a column this week, which I didn't, I might have referred to some of the little in-con-VEENiences that the Missing Deadline Syndrom ("M.D.S.") has created. Like for instance, yesterday's --oops!--I mean last week's paper started right out with an editorial titled "A Lesson In Responsibility." Now, if I was going to write a column at all this week, which I decidedly am not, I would probably spend at least one whole paragraph discussing the irony of that editorial head- line. But I won't. I won't even mention irony, since I'm definately blowing off the column this week. This week? Check your calendar! Is it still March? Or did this issue come out in time for graduation? It's really best that I don't write a column this week because I would have to mention that Dr. Ernest L. Boyer's lecture: "A Celebration of Teaching" was very poorly celebrated by many Wilkes students because by the time they saw the announcement for it on Tuesday, it was a day too late to attend. Oh, well. What's a little screwup when a good excuse will do nicely? No, I've decided not to write anything at all this week. I just don't feel like it. My car is having problems, that's why.

Well, not deep enough I guess because I was awakened by the sound of a sharp knock on my door. "Come in," I yelled from my bed, thinking it would be Ed waking me from a sound sleep as he always does. But there was silence. The door had not opened. I turned over to yell once more. Then I stopped. There was someone there. It was an ominous figure cloaked in black standing beside my bed. "Who are you?" I asked. "Ask me not who I am," said the figure, "but follow me and I shall show you the destiny . of man." I agreed on the condition that we would return in time to see WWF Wrestling Spotlight He then led me out the door into another place. This place was unlike any other place I had ever visited. It looked sort of like a cylinder-shaped Howard Johnson's, like the factory that Mike Brady designed for Bebe Galini that was shaped like a lipstick. Anyway, he led me into this building, then into an elevator. But the funny thing about it was that the elevator started on the top of this building and took us downward. "Why are we starting at the top?" I asked the figure as we began our descent. But before he could answer, the elevator came to a halt "This," said the stop." figure, "is our first The First Floor-- The door opened. There before us was a small town, as if it were scaled down from a real towm. In the distance I could see approching what appeared to be a parade. As it drew closer, I could see that it's participants weren't real. "What are they?" I asked. "They are evil muppets," replied the figure. "They are to parade through the streets of town until they tire." "But muppets aren't evil, and since they aren't real, they can't tire," I reasoned. "Exactly," said the figure, "Lets continue." The Second Floor-- The elevator doors slid open. There before us stood a man. He slowly turned around. "Hey," I cried, "It's Charlton Heston!" "Oops," said the figure, "Sorry, wrong Inferno!" We continued downward: The Third Floor-- The doors of the elevator opened for a third time. Before us was a huge banquet hall. In its center was a long table covered with the remains of a huge feast. . "What is so bad about this?" I asked. "Go into that door," said the figure. He pointed me to a door through which I went. "Hey," I said. "This is a men's restroom." "Thats correct," said the figure. In the men's room there were four stalls. Then, suddenly, the door of each stall swung open revealing the inhabitant of each. In the first stall was King Kong Bundy, and in the second, Hoss Cartwright In the third was the man/woman, Divine. "Who is in the fourth?" I asked. "See for yourself," said the figure. I peeked in to see who was inside. Then, I pulled back in · horror. "Oh no," I screamed, "It's Brian Dorsey, and no can of Lysol in sight!!! Please, please get me out of here!" "Come," said the figure. The Fourth Floor- "This," said the figure, "is the fourth floor." "Strange," said I, " This looks like the set of..." Just then the lights flashed on. The music blared. The crowd around us began to chant, "mort, mort, mort." Then, he appeared, Morton Downey Jr.! "Lets bring out my first guest Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Friedrich Nietzsche!" "Ack. Downey and Nietzsche in the same room! Get me out of here!!" I ran back into the elevator in a frenzy. The Fifth Floor-Before the doors even opened, I could smell a familiar smell. Then, the doors slid open to expose a strange land. The ground was gooey, hot, bubbling cheese (With our sincerest apologies to Dante) surrounded by spicey tomato sauce. "Hey," I exclaimed. "We are walking on a pizza pie!" Just then, I tripped over a head. "Sorry," I said . ."Who are you, and why are you here in this land of pie?" "I," said the head, "am the pie master, and I have been banished here forever without having committed a crime." "Don't sympathize with him," said the figure. "But he says he hasn't committed any crime!" I argued. "So he says," replied the figure. "Let us proceed." The Sixth Floor-"This shall be our last stop," said the figure. "But didn't Dante's Inferno have nine levels?" I inquired. "Well, we're on a budget," he confessed. Then, the elevator stopped. I breathed deeply and braced myself for whatever was to appear before me. The doors opened. "Wait," I said in puzzlement, "I think I have been here before." "Come, follow me," said the figure. He led me up a warped, linoleum-covered staircase and through a glass door. I followed as he led me into a narrow hallway that wound past various offices and bathrooms, until we came to an open door. "This," he said, "is our last stop." I turned the comer. Then, I remembered! My heart skipped a beat Here I was, at the root of my darkest fears. The breeding place of my nightmares! Hell on eri.

Play director, Jane Tomasetti, of Trucksville, commented that the plot centers around twelve jurymen who are charged with deciding the fate of a young man who is accused of murder. "Tempers become short," she said, "and the arguments grow heated. Characters, bigotries and personal feelings are revealed as the various testimonies are re-examined . . . and the murder is re-enacted," she added. Shown in the accompanying photograph, in a scene from the production, Joseph Salsburg, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Sciece at Wilkes College, is shown, at far right, emphatically making his point to two of his · fellow jurors. · At left is Chris Tomasetti, and seated is Corey Klemow, both of Wilkes-Barre.

He has just that many quality films in a row. · He is at the top of the standings among current actors, right along with Michael Douglas. It was often debated whether or not Ford could kick his Han Solo image. He has done so with blazing power. Films such as Witness, Mosquito Coast, and now Frantic, have put him in demand more than ever. In Frantic, Ford plays the part of an American doctor who travels to France in order to attend a medical seminar. He never makes it to the conference. Instead he goes on a frantic search for his wife, played by Betty Buckley of the 1970's hit TV series, "Eight is Enough," and the Broadway musical, Cats.

However, numerous twists and blunders keep die switch from taking place. Roman Polanski. directed this film. It's bloody at times much to the likes of his past sanguine film, Macbeth . His camera shots are masterful. This is partially due to, some of the locations he used in France. Watch for the shot of Ford standing alone on a bridge, in particular. It takes place near the end of the film. The scenery and the atmosphere make this shot an incredible view. Frantic is a pleasing suspense film, although it does tend to drag along at times.

I read the article with anticipation since I have a strong interest in student activites. I strongly agree that the groups on campus must unite instead of compete with each other for programs. That is why I feel that Col. Billings was totally correct in his charge to bring the students together through the Programming Board · and the Concert and Lecture Series. Too many people trying to put on too many programs will be very disappointing to all involved. Disappointment is not a goal for any programmer. However, I must disagree with the main tactic used in Col. Billing's charge. Formulating a list of potential speakers is OK, but there are better ways to go about it The speakers suggested in the article are very inviting, but most are way over our price range. The unfortunate part is th::.t most suggestions, once seen in writing, are expected to be signed, contracted, and here next month. It can't happen that way. For suggestions like those in the article to even be considered is injurious to any programming organization. Why? Because those incredibly high expectations are hard to live up to. Once David Letterman or Lee Iacocca are suggested, the probability of accepting anything less is like swallowing sour milk. "Hey, I thought you were supposed to get Letterman here!! What's going on, we asked for him, now you better deliver!!" The Programming Board can just as easily ask for a list of concerts that students want to· see. We'd get · back a ton of Springsteen's, Sting's and U2's on our list We would love to have them here, but we can't. It is not realistic. We must make use of the present budget to offer several low to mid- ranged speakers over the course of an academic year. One speaker of the ~aliber suggested in the article will put the entire budget in the hole by anywhere from $100 to $10,000. The Programming Board has an unlimited file of speakers that are readily available to come to Wilkes.

Top teams in wrestling, such as Oklahoma and Oregon, have come to Wilkes to compete. "All the Wilkes Opens are special events, people come from all over to participate," commented Reese. "At the reunion (Reese's 35th on February 27) a lot of the old wrestlers were here, they all said it would be hard to see [the gym] go bleachers similar to the ones in the old gym. "The actual competition space won't be bigger, so I hope to have the same kind of competition atmosphere. It won't be big and impersonal." The ~Id gym held many memories for Dean of Student Affairs Emeritus George Ralston. The old gym has a special meaning to Dean Ralston. "I drew the original plans for the gymnasium," He a weight class. Coach Reese felt all three did a great job and gained valuable experience for next season.

It was where we first met the students and where we last saw them." Even though the destruction of the old gym may sadden some people, ihe new gym's benefits will far outweigh the loss. "The new facility will have the biggest impact on the students of Wilkes College," stated Coach Reese. "All of the students will benefit. Everyone will have their own practice areas and there will be more room for recreation and intramurals. A new weight and wellness room will be great for the students at Wilkes. The new gym will also help in recruiting. The facility will be bigger and more impressive. It is also the first time Wilkes will have a wrestling room." The new gymnasium will have a noticeable impact for recruiting purposes. Reese explained that a lot of the high school students who are interested in wrestling are coming from high schools with much larger gym facilities then Wilkes presently has. "I don't think everyone realizes just how good [the gym] will be when it is completed," stated Reese. "For 38 years the gymnasium served the college." Dean Ralston stated. "It will remain in the memories of countless- students and faculty. The facility has greatly augmented and facilitated the educational program here at Wilkes." But, he says, "we've got to progress. n · doesn't meet the needs adequately of our educational efforts today. Students, current and future, need another facility that will better meet the needs of the times. New things are being added that we didn't have." Dean Ralston summed up the gym this way: "If we get as · much service from the new gym- \ \ nasium as we did from the old, the new building will be sustaining a tradition." According to these two people, it is clear that the structure that once stood proud and tall on South Franklin Street was a very special part of Wilkes College and its tradition. �March 10, 1988 Wilkes College Vol. XL Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 No. 19 Rome and Mejias headed for Nationals Colonels finish fourth at Easter by Bill Kem wrestler he felt should have placed was Marc Palanchi.

The pressure off; it was much harder Colonel of the Week defending my title," commented Rome. Rome didn't have many problems in reaching the finals. In the first round he recorded a technical fall over Princeton's Jong Gluckow. In the quarterfinal match he defeated Navy's Ron Neff, 9-2. In the semifinal match Rome defeated Rutger's Tim Anderson 4-1. "I wasn't too worried about my competition, but the semifinal match was important because it assured me a trip back to nationals," commented Rome. Rome has been named number one at Eastems for three out of the past four years, and he has silently compiled one of the best records in Wilkes' history. Rome is very excited about his second trip to Nationals. "I feel more confident this year, more experienced and confident," Rome said, 'Tm going for it all!" If an award for determination were given out, it would have to go to Mejias. Although he placed second to the first-ranked 118 pound wrestler, East Stroudsburg's Jack Cuvo, Mejias showed everyone that he would be a force to be reckoned with at Nationals this year. "Dennis had a great tournament; he recorded technical falls over his first two opponents," stated Reese. Mejias's road to the finals started with consecutive technical falls over Harvard's Todd Cameron and Columbia's Chuck Boyle. There was a little irony in the semifinal match. Saturday's newspaper had an article · about Syracuse's Jirn Fussell, and in the article Fussell was quoted as saying, ''I'll have Mejias for breakfast and Cuvo for dinner." In the semifinal match Mejias jumped to a 7-0 lead, but let his emotions get in the way and got caught in a move. "I got anxious; I tried to take his head off and it made the match close," Mejias continued, "I got rude." Mejias went on to post a 10-7 victory over Fussell. Then came the rematch with Cuvo. Mejias probably wrestled his best match of the year, but poor officiating cost him the match. "Dennis outwrestled Cuvo, but the referee took the match away from him" stated Reese. Mejias started the match by taking down Cuvo, he then tilted Cuvo but the referee never gave Mejias any points for the move. "Dennis took down Cuvo, and that shocked me, then he turned Cuvo and no points were given," Reese related, "The referee did a terrible job because in his eyes that can't be done to Cuvo." Cuvo then scored four points on a questionable call to end the first period, taking a 4-2 lead. During the rest of the match Mejias was called for three potentially dangerous moves and Cuvo went on to win 6-3. Even though he lost to Cuvo, Mejias was happy with his performance. "I wrestled better than I thought, I kept my head together some things I usually take people down," c ♦ Mejias. But Mejias f~ referee would have called the outcome would different "I know I won; he didn't win the lost it," stated Mejias. Mejias will go IO for the third time and better last year's eig!G finish.

The Wilkes College theater department will present a children's play, "The Frog Prince," for local elementary schools on March 17th and 18th. The show, which is student directed and performed, will run at 10 am on both days, and about 800 grade school children are expected to attend. Michelle Palmieri, the dirctor of the show, chose the play as an independant study project. Palmieri, a senior theater major, is also in charge of the show's numerous props and costumes. The cast consists of Bob Wachowski as the Frog Prince, Maureen O'Hara as Princess Tavia, Ed Buonocore as Olaf the guard, Andrea J. Kochera as Nannycoo and Rob Johansen as the Snake. Johansen is also stage manager of the production. Dr. Michael O'Neill; theater director, is producing the show, and Karl Ruling is Technical Director. Scott Werbin is in charge of lighting. The production will be presented for the children free of cost. Palmieri believes that "The Frog Prince" will help children learn about theater and help those who are working on the show to better understand the concept of children's theater. According to Palmieri, the free production is "a good move to get children interested in theater at a young age."

Wilkes? Visitation Day took place this past weekend. The event gave prospective Wilkes College students the chance to look at the school, to see what Wilkes has to offer them. Watching the students mill around the campus on Saturday gave me a chance to reflect on just what those students visiting Wilkes mean to the school. It may be hard to realize, but each student who comes on this campus, who entertains the thought of coming to Wilkes-every student who does, in fact, decide to come here--has a chance to help shape the direction in which Wilkes College is heading. Many changes are in store for Wilkes over the next few years. These are changes that many of us, as students, will never see--for example, university status. These changes, although they will not play a direct part in our education, will play a direct role in the education of future Wilkes graduates. Why should this be important to us? Although ceFtainly our primary reason for attending college is to learn (right?), learning in the classroom should not be our only goal. When we consider our college education, just what do we believe Wilkes has done for us? Even more importantly, what have we done for Wilkes? Many times we answer these questions t~ quickly: -~ilkes gives us an education. We, in return, give Wilkes our tu1t1on money. And on a very basic level, that is the case. Perhaps this attitude is all too common, but it is not a healthy attitude. One of the most important goals of our education is ~o learn t~ interact with our environment and our society on a vanety of different levels. One of these levels incorporates the aforementioned point. Have we, as students, learned not only how to study and how to pass tests but also how to put this learning to use? Have we used our sharpened intelligence to add anything to the atmosphere--academic, social, cultural--at Wilkes? Or have we been the equivalent of collegiate slugs? This improvement of the atmosphere at Wilkes does not even necessarily have to come from any. great affection for the school. In fact, many times the mosvconstructive additions and changes m~de at the school come from a definite need, from a displeasure with the status quo. With all the changes administrators and boards are making, isn't it time that students thought about what they can add to Wilkes to make- it a better place for future students? Granted, student change is hard to motivate. After all listening to students isn't exactly top priority for those i~ command. We, after all, cannot donate vast amounts of money to the school to implement change. That fact, however, should not, and does not m~e our voice any less important in the shaping of the future of this _College. If you are displeased with university ~tatus, let someone know. If you think things need to be changed m the dorms, speak out. And if you don't want to speak out there is one thing that you can do to help shape the future of Wilkes College. Bust your butt and study--improve the academic atmosphere. Everything else is just so much window dressing. Yes, after graduation we leave Wilkes behind and enter the real world, but do we ever truly leave behind the impressions (even scars) that our ct>llege education leaves us with? Watching the students walk across campus I wondered what · these. students were thinking ' about the school. Were they focusmg on the lovely and beautiful surface of Wilkes College? No doubt Wilkes looks like one hell of a school. We are blessed with beautiful architecture, a gym-in-progress, a bell tower, improving development, the prospect of university status. That alone would be enough to sway some borderline students. But more importantly, are students coming here and thinking about substance? Are they asking the all-important questions: What can Wilkes, as a school, offer me? What can I offer it? Have we asked ourselves these questions? by M. E.

This spring, 40% of the starting money was available, so construction has begun. Cutting the budget has had several effects on the final product that students were expecting. Several parts of the gym have been postponed until donations come in. Those parts being postponed are: wrestling mats, 15,000 bleacher seats, new weights for the weight room, a sauna, kitchen equipment, and a divider curtain to separate the gym during male/female basketball practices. These parts of the gym, according to John Reese and Dr. Stephan Tillman, will be added as soon as possible. The handball courts that were in the original floor plan of the gym are being completely eliminated. This is because the courts would cost $200-250,000, and also because they take up a lot, of space. The cost of the courts continued to rise when estimated, so they were no longer feasible. The Board was quite disappo_inted when it came to cutting Demolition of the old gym continues. the budget, but they felt it was something that had to be done.

Harold Hannery, Jr. will. serve as keynote speaker at Wilkes College's Pre-Law Day under direction of John Chwalek, assistant dean of admissions on April 7. The day's activities will focus on educational opportunities available to students who are interested in pre-law at Wilkes College.

Guy/girl relationships at Wilkes by Rob Mac Arthur and Nancy Houtz "Sex and love, Guys play at love to get sex, and girls play at sex to get love," said Steve Bardsley. "Everyone wants the other to make the first move," said Mike Morgan. "College is the best time to get to know a lot of people instead of getting too serious about only one person," said Jean Rodeohko, a junior psychology major. "Most . guys and girls get along with each other. If there's someone you're interested in, it's usually easy to get to know the person because of the social environment," Marcie said Kreinces. "According to popular beliefs the woman has traditionally been the one who wants a longterm relationship and the man has been accused of being the one wanting the one night stands--but I don't think that really takes place anymore. Now it seems that relationships depend on the person or individual beliefs instead of the original stereotyping," said Pete Guinosso. "It's very casual," said Brenda Fyfe. Many people have complaints about the general atmosphere here at Wilkes. We decided to seek out a reason for this negative attitude. One possible reason we came up with was the social atmosphere.

This show is a special Wednesday installment of the Saturday night SubSet. Cullen is a 1981 graduate of the Hartt school of music. A year earlier he was a winner of the Connecticut Young Artists Competition. His New York debut was in the 1985 International Guitar Festival sponsored by the Anerican Institute of Guitar.

Escher explains, "The ideas that are basic to [the prints] often bear witness to my amazement and wonder at the laws of nature which operate the world around us . . . By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us . . . I ended up in the realm of mathematics." The collection that will be in Sordoni shows a variety of his work ranging from his early days in Italy to his first "idea" drawings that he based on symmetry. The prints have been arranged chronological to "demonstrate the progression of Escher's ideas, although he often returned to an earlier theme for later image,'" said Sordoni director, Judith O'Toole. As you wander through the gallery you will see different types of art that can create a different idea to each person. As the art work is viewed, you can come up with different thoughts for every painting and it was apparent that many other people were coming up with their own ideas as they viewed them.

B.C. told The Beacon that he does most of the mixing for Ultrasound. He · explained that mixing requires a lot of work. "I measure how many beats per minute there are on records, then the records get categ6rized. We mix songs according to how many beats they have." When The Beacon asked B.C. if he considered himself a professional DJ, he replied, "No. When I get a full time job at The Woodlands, or some place like that, I will consider myself a professional. But I'm just as good as the well known DJ's, I just don't have the name yet" B.C. would like to have a dance party held Thursday nights on Wilkes campus. "My view of a dance party is the hottest night club music being played: high energy, some danceable top 40, and definitely city music." B.C. feels that a dance party is needed to liven up the campus. B.C. would like students surveyed to see what kind of music they want to hear.

Claims he's bored. I went over to Miner Hall and found him sitting in the lobby staring at the TV. "Bernie," I shouted over the Mr. Rogers re-runs he was watching. "You can't sit here and watch kid shows all day like Don Semyon (sorry, Don!). Let's do something." "There's never anything to do at Wilkes," Bernie ~ighed. "Sure there is," I told him. "I'll show you.'' Bernie wasn't easily convinced, but I finally got him to get up off the couch and give it a whirl. I was trying to point out that there were a number of cultural events taking place on the Wilkes Campus this very week. "Like what?" Bernie asked. "Let's go over to the Sordoni Art Gallery," I suggested. "There's an exhibit of the work of M.C. Escher.'' Bernie didn't look too interested. "I hate art galleries," he said. "But, Bernie, I think you'll like Escher. He's really different. Sort of trick-of-the-eye kind of stuff; fish turning into geese, people going up these endless little stairways.'' We put our coats on and headed across campus, past the lovely new belltower that was chiming out Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. We got to Stark and went right up to the door of the gallery. Bernie looked nervous. "What's the matter, Bernie?" "I don't like art galleries, that's all," he said. "They make me feel stupid.'' Not wishing to make Bernie feel stupid, I opted for a different approach. "Okay, okay," I told him. "How about if we walk over to Darte. I understand Henry Taylor, the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, is giving a reading to- night." I was quite excited to see that Wilkes was hosting such a prominent man of letters who would be making himself available to students at a reception following the reading. Bernie and I walked back across campus past the belltower. The chimes were ringing out the andante cantabile movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata. As we got to Darte, Bernie seemed to become apprehensive. "What's wrong now?" I asked as we got to the steps. Bernie had broken out in a cold sweat. "I hate poetry readings," Bernie said. "They make me feel stupid." He looked like a man who was about to give birth to a brick. "Alright, alright," I told him. "Jeez, you're not easy to please," I said. "Well," Bernie told me, "I know what I like." I have an idea. There's the new Wordsworth exhibit at the Ii- brary. "William Wordsworth and the Age of Romanticism," I told him. "It's running through Apirl 15." I looked at Bernie really hard. "You have had English 152, haven't you?" I asked. "You remember Tintern Abbey and all that?" "I hate to read," Bernie said. "Makes me feel stupid.'' We walked back across campus again. When we passed the bell tower, the chimes were peeling away at Rodgers and Hart's "Isn't It Romantic." As we got to the library steps, Bernie started to hang back. "What is it this time, Bernie?" I asked. "Libraries," Bernie said, hanging on to the rail. "They make me feel -- stupid." "No, Bernie," I finally said. "It isn't libraries, or books, or poetry readings or art galleries at all. It's you. You really are stupid!" "Well," Bernie said. "At least I know what I like."

"We · r-laden team last year, tt're trying to catch up." ·1e everything, there certain optimism in the h's voice. But, as is with most coaches, it ded optimism. "There of people here (junior college transfers, especially) from winning programs," added Bavitz, pausing to interject some motivation into the practice session. "Get that bat around," he bellowed. "That's eight swings, lets get somelxxly else in there." And the good old-fashioned hootin' and hollerin' continued amo,ng the apparently highspirited group he addressed. Bavitz then turned his attention to assistant coach Brian Gorski. . An outfielder for Wilkes from 1984-87, Gorski drew praise from Bavitz. "Brian's going to do a great job. He was a tremendous player - very smart -- and it should carry over to his coaching. He has a great rapport with the players." "It's great for me to stay involved with baseball," said Gorski, a fonner Nanticoke Area standout. "I really love the game, having played it nearly all my life." "The club's attitude is very good," Gorski continued, "If we stop giving up that one big inning and cut down on the mental errors, we can keep our pitchers in the game." Falling behind early was Assistant Coach Brian Gorski indeed a problem last year. Once the opposition scored a few runs in the first couple of innings, it was tough for the Colonels to bounce back. This season, with a renewed sense of hope and a large emphasis on fundamentals, the ady Colonels Io o k be competitive Martin begins his second bead coach of the Wilkes !nftball team with high agood season.

Melissa Kennedy, the leading hitter for the Lady Colonels last season, has returned and will play third base as well as catch.

Lori could fill the hole at the catcher's position. Angie Miller, a freshman infielder, will be able to help the Lady Colonels immediately at shortstop or third base. Michelle Toth, a lefthanded power hitter, will play the outfield. Krista Gromalski is a good all around player and shoul get some playing time at first bas and the outfield. Wendy Holden i "a hustler who hits the ball with power," according to Martin. Marti Brogan, says Coach Martin, i "improving with every practice." Brogan plays the outfield catches. "We are looking forward this season," says Martin. "Wear all anxious to get the season started." The Lady Colonels' season opens at "home against King's College on April 7. All their home games will be played on the main field at Kirb Park. team plans to improve upon its 7-15 record and 4-6 Middle Atlantic Conference record from 1987. Tom Salzberg, a righthander, should anchor the pitching staff. The 6'3" senior was 26 last year with a more than respectable 3.27 earned run average. According to Gorski, the won-loss mark is deceiving. "Tom is one of the top pitchers in the MAC. He's got great stuff but just failed to get the offensive support he needed." Wyoming Valley West graduate Eric Price, the team's first baseman and cleanup hitter, should prove valuable as a lefthanded hurler. A number of others are vying for spots in the rotation as well. Senior Bill Harries will probably handle things behind the plate. The catcher was third on the club with a .446 slugging percentage in '87 while belting two home runs. Providing stability in the infield is Mike Kolbicka, a shortstop from Hanover Area. The sophomore will most likely team with Bill Evanina, a transfer from Keystone Junior College, to fonn the double play combination. Both Brett Beshore and Rob Pietrzyk look to handle the third base chores. The left-handed Beshore is the - all-time leading hitter at Pleasant Valley High School, having compiled a .508 average. Pietrzyk, meanwhile, comes to Wilkes via Somerset County College, New Jersey. Outfielder Nelson Cantor, who hit .294 during his junior year, should provide leadership. Ken · "Shakin' Bakin"' Chakon, formerly of Luzerne County Community College, will be among the others to roam the outfield grass. When the Colonels take the field on Sunday, Coach Bavitz and his team hope that a blend of veteran talent and new faces, combined with an · intense desire to win and a genuine enthusiasm for the game, will yield some positive results.

So what Reese does is recruit wrestlers who have not reached their potential and give them a chance to become successful in the sport at the college level. Two prime examples are Dennis Mejias and Craig Rome. Just how much of an impact have Mejias and Rome had on the Wilkes program? The dual meet record for the Colonels over the past four years was 7814. Both have been starters since their freshman year and have set many records. Rome holds the record for most dual meet wins (70) and most dual matches (76), and is only the second Colonel wrestler to win two Eastern Championships. When Rome's outstanding career National bound Craig Rome and Dennis Mejias. comes to an end this weekend he ,;,. will finish in the top five in record for dual meet pins with year he was upset in sectionals. winning percentage with 91%. 21.

Mejias also tied the of high school, but in his senior can wrestle with anyone because of his style, you never know what will happen," commented Reese. Always a fierce competitor, Mejias has achieved beyond his expectations. "I had a lot of big ideas and goals, but I never thought I would do as well as I have," he stated. Lehigh is always one of the major wrestling powers on Wilkes schedule, and that's where Mejias made his mark. "I never saw a wrestler put on a cradle and then somersalt," commented Reese. From that point Mejias went on to become one of the best Wilkes wrestlers on the mat; however, it is on his feet where he has become better. "I didn't try to change him. I tried to get 1pm better on his feet," Reese commented, "It showed at Eastems; he took every opponent down, including the number one ranked wrestler in the country." Mejias realizes that he wouldn't be where he is today without the guidance of Reese. "Coach has helped me 100%, and I have the confidence to go with anyone in the nation. He has given me a winning start in life and has taught me how to give that little extra," he said. This weekend Mejias will Steeber named to Rugby club opens all-star team season Saturday Jeff Steeber, a four-year starter as forward for the Wilkes College men's basketball team, has been named to the second team of the 1987-88 Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division all-star squad. Steeber is an earth and environmental science major from Shickshinny, PA. Sttcber added his name to the Wilkes record books on January 13 when he scored his 1000th point in a game against Drew. He was the 13th Colonel in Wilkes history to make this achievement Steeber also had the honor of being · the 13th player at Northwest High School to score 1000 points. Steeber was cited for his accomplishments by the MA•:'. who named him Northern Division Player of the Week for the week of February I. He was also named Eastern College Athletic Conference Player of the Week for January 16. Additionally, he was named to the Western Maryland All-Tournament Team in November. Congratulations, Jeff, on fine performance throughout your basketball career at Wilkes. The Wilkes-Barre Breakers Rugby Football Club will open its spring season on Saturday, March 19th, when members travel to Langhorne, Pa., to face the Hibernian Rugby Club. The Breakers are looking to improve last season's 3-6 record. "We're expecting a very intense and physical match. If we can successfully combine some new talent with our more expei:ienced players, we will be able to defeat the veteran Hibernian club," says winger Fred Schloth. The Wilkes-Barre Rugby Club. is a local club composed of college athletes from Wilkes and Kings' as well as several residents of the city. The Breakers will hold practice Wednesday and Thursday nights at 5:00pm and all games are Saturdays at 1:00 pm. Practice sessions and home games are held at Kirby Park.

From my vantage point, teaching a section of thenew History 101 course which has been totally redesigned by the deaprtment, I am excited by the response of students to the materials we have chosen to teach. The thought and writings of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus deal with issues of ~lues and ethics that are immediately relevant to the lives of students. While I have not taught in any of the oilier newly designed core courses emerging in our curriculum, I am heartened by tlle strengtll of this new effort in my departemtn as a symptom of what is happening across campus. The excavation for the new Sports and Conference Center makes us realize that tllis longtalked-about project is really underway. By tlle time this semester ends, we should begin seeing the new structure rising on the site of the old gym. I continue to beleive that this building will provide a -..lVhole new sense of Wilkes, befitting the quality of human effort that has long been our legacy. With regard to public comments about the financial risks involved, I would report that the capital campaign is indeed ahead of its projections at this stage in the campaign, according to our Marts & Lundy consultants. The Board and staff committee working on the campaign under the leadership of Tom Hadzor is in high gear, and we have every reason to be optimistic about raising salaries and student financial Continued on p. 4 �April 7, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their Editorial A college of our ambition Watching When I picked up the President's memo this week, I could only sit back and admrre the pretty phrases and glittering reassurances that he passed along to the Wilkes ·college ~?mmuni_~ - That is where the admiration ended. Throughout the memo, I searched for one defimuve dec1s1on, one open, frank, and honest declaration of what the future of Wilkes College looks like, or what might be in store for the College in the coming year. . What I found instead was merely a reiteration of what Breiseth !)as been saymg all along, although perhaps not always so directly: the image of Wilkes College is growing by leaps and bounds, and everything we do, every change we make, pushes us further and further up the ladder of success. The message is perhaps not quite so blatant as I have s_tated it, bu~ it is there_. It _is, ho_wever, cloaked in that sense of community that is supposed to bnng the entrre school m lme with the thoughts of the President. In the memo (which is reprinted on the front page) ' the Presid~nt "tackles" every major issue that may have been nagging you, nibbling at the back of your m~nd since September, and if you happen to make it through the four pages, you come away fe~lmg strangely unfulfilled. Rightfully so. This memo may ostensibly see~ to answer your questions. It is, in fact, nothing more than the President's reassurance--more to hlffiself than to any members of the College--about major issues. There are reassurances about rising enrollment, reassurances about the gym and its financing, reassurances about university status, reassurances about faculty salary, reassurances about the budget. We are reassured to death in lhis memo. The reassurance begins in full force with the main issues of this semester--the gym and university status. The gym/Sports and Conference Center is a perfect example. The Pres_ident writes, "I continue to believe that this building will provide a whole new sense of Wilkes, befitting the quality of human effort that has long been our legacy." And all this time you thought that all the new gym meant was a better place to play basketball and hold dances. No, no, the gym is going to give us a sense of ourselves as a college--a sense that "befits". us. Not only has the gym been touted as an important new building, but it has now been raised to a monument of our "collegeness." Something about this logic is faulty. And if this wonderful new building is going to give us a "whole new sense of Wilkes," why would we even consider changing our status from college to univeristy, another issue that the President manages to whitewash ·his way through during the course of the memo. Breiseth insinuates in an aside that Wilkes, if it does apply, would almost certainly be accepted for university status. Essentially, the President reduces the change to university status as a way to "convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both. the undergraduate and graduate levels." This in ar,d of itself isn't so hideous, but when the President continues on to write that the university status "would strengthen us to carry out this mission of service" we can almst believe that there is no other decent reason for changing the status except for that very same word status. Our "mission of service," whatever that ambiguous phrase may mean, is not going to be strengthened by a change in name, not unless this change in name _is preceded or followed by changes in the curricula, in the manner in which the College is run, and m the overall attitude here at the school. But all of this is elementary. The President wants the College to be a university. The President supported the construction of a bell tower; there was oppostion. The bell tower stands. The President wanted a gym; the community has been against it. The gym is under construction. Why should university status be any different? We can debate about the issue all we want. The point, as far as I am concerned, is moot. I suggest only that you read the memo for yourself. Read about the "major committrnent" the Board is making to enahance salaries for faculty . Read about the monumental decision that must be made as to university status. Read about the "sure-thing" financing for the gym . Read, quite briefly, about faculty merit raises (perhaps the best kept secret on campus). Then wait and see-will Wilkes College stop hiring ten adjuncts to every one full time professor? Will Wilkes College become Wilkes University? Will our professors still be evaluated by what is proving more and more to be a· faulty system? Will the gym ever have all of the promised features? Perhaps the line that sums the ludicrousness of the memo best is used in the context of bringing students to Wilkes from a broader geographical area: "This in tum will enhance our capacity to improve our physical plant and to provide the kind of salary and financial aid su~port that is crucial for a college of our ambition (my italics)." Throughout the memo, the President turns such phrases as "sense of Wilkes" "strong and vital Wilkes" "vibrant Wilkes" "struggle to defme Wilkes." The only thing the President has managed to define is what some of us knew all along: the essence of Wilkes College isn't any of the glowing generalities that are thrown so casually around campus. Ambition, mixed with just the tiniest bit of status and image, is what seems to drive the powers that be here, instead of genuine concern. It seems to me that the defining process--the self-study, if you will--is far from over. -m:bt 1.ftlta:con VOL.

Which is why this Tuesday, like every Tuesday, saw me wandering into The Beacon 's palatial abode on the third floor of the Student Center in search of someone with an idea for me. I was greeeted with a cheerful, "Oh, no, it's you again," and made my usual weekly plea, "Hey, you got anything for me to write?" One of my cigar-chomping colleagues tossed me a pack of papers. "Here. Read this; no one else wants to. See what you can do with it. You might even find something to write about in it." I grabbed it excitedly and trotted off to my Macintosh.

In fact, the Williams bus line, which makes three runs daily, is the only rcliabk transportation service to and from Mountaintop aside from calling a taxi or getting a ride from a friend. Besides, few people feel comfortable using public transportation they want tht;ir own car. What's wrong with that? Nothing. But, when thousands of vehicles are jamming the streets and parking lots, parking becomes a definite problem. Now the city must admit it has a problem. Wilkes-Barre is in a bind. The city council, scorecwners and entertainment places want people to come to town to bring money into the city. People flock to places like the F.M. Kirby Center, Wilkes and Kings' Colleges, Boscov's and the Station in the "Valley with a Heart" seeking fun or education. When the large crowds finally come~ iate arrivers complain and grumble because they - always have trouble finding adequate parking nearby. Will ticketing all the improperly parked vehicles induce people to take more caution when parking their vehicles? In a convenience-oriented s0ciety where most people want to go, get what they want and leave, the city may be asking too much. Most of the same people who are ticketed over and over simply don't care if they get a ticket or not. No matter how many tickets are issued, there will still be illegal parkers because there just isn't enough room to park. As long as there are people, there will be problems. How will increased ticketing affect Wilkes? At a school like Wilkes, to which people travel from some distance for an education, there will always be some people who park wherever they can to run to lJ. 9 o'clock class. As more people are attracted to the college, more guests and need an English instructor or two, but it doesn't need an interpreter. Next, how do you feel about the phrase "a more and more vibrant Wilkes?" Makes me think of laundry detergent. Doesn't Tide promise more vibrant colors and whiter whites? Even though I think the College sometimes white-washes the truth, · I never thought they'd admit it as plainly as this! See if you can . find the problem in the next sample: "The excavation for the new Sports and Conference Center makes us realize that this long talked-about project is really underway." No shit. I thought the excavation was really a moon crater, and the vehicles were moon vehicles. Do you mean they started construction? I didn't realize until I read this memo. How unobservant of me. Page four of the memo boasts a veritable plethora of ugly usages. Did you know that Wilkes is a small- to medium- size university? Does that make Penn a "family size" university? Is Penn State a "giant size" university? What about Harvard? "Econo-buy?" (The laundry metaphors, you'll notice, are abundant in this l!lemo. I think I'm on to something here!) The President states that he finds a certain perspective on education "increasingly compelling." I find this statement increasingly confusing. Is it just me, or does it sound like he's comparing higher education to a Stephen King novel? What about the phrase "personally immersed in the issues of the reform of teaching"? Swimming pools you can be immersed in--personally or otherwise. Likewise bathtubs or vats of jello. But issues? Not unle:;s you're sitting in a mass of shredded memos on said issues. Finally, what are "disci;-:>linary majors"? Every time i tried to puzzle this out, I cou!c:. only come up with an im2<;,, either of a child being spt~ ·'·:,::d or of something out of a,~ .:i ..1 M flick. "Wanda Whips V:i'~:,::s," anyone? Th,,t's it. I'm sure I could find more if I read through it again, but I'm already laughing so hard I'm crying. And for thos~of201!....who think I'm just quibbling with language, think about this: the President states that his feeling " . . . has been that the change in title [from College to University] would strengthen us to carry out this mission oI service." So if three little extra letters can effect such a great change in Wilkes' ability to serve its students, doesn't it stand .to reason that these little "language abominations" can affect Wilkes' image drastically?

While the issue is of symbolic importance and will have consequences now whichever way we decide, Dr. Kirlcwood urged us to resolve the issue one way or the other and get on with the self-study. He did not take a position on university status nor even hintat his advice on what we should do in that regard. He made these suggestions to a group of trustees and the generally favorable response to his presentation made me conclude that we had everything to gain in discussing this issue this spring and bridging any recommendation that comes out of these discussions to the May 12-13 Board meetings. That is the timetable we are now working on, and I have had extensive discussion with Bill Stine as well as with George Waldner and others of the administrative team to carry out the discussion over the next month and a half. . Let me be quite personal. I have been persuaded for some time that the advantages of making this change of status outweigh the disadvantages. As we struggle to convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for students a Wilkes, my inclination has been to see what the word university in the context of Pennsylvania higher education would more effectively convey the Wilkes that actually exists than our present appellation of college. Moreover, in our role as a major institution of l:tigher education serving the Wyoming Valley and status becomes Northeastern Pennsylvania, the alternative. I I label university as well as the the public disc reality of our ever~growing matter with in programs responsive to the group discussion region's needs has seemed to involvement offer a genuine advantage.

On the other hand, I think 6:30-7:30 pm the concept is of sufficient importance that we should make 7:30-9:00 pm it only if a general consensus 9:00-1:00 am emerges. Indeed, the challenge Tickets will be of the debate ahead is a kind of updating of our discussions of Tuesday and Tb m1ss10n.

There is no more honorable word in the lexicon of American higher learning education than "college." Indeed, some of the most prestigious institutions in the Ivy League maintain it as a badge of their superiority. And if it is the sense of our community that tins tradition is the one we are most strengthened by," I for one am ready to reconsider the change of status. if on the other hand we look at the breadth and comprehensiveness of our programs and feel that we are not only within the liberal arts tradition but also play the broader role of a small- to medium-size university, then I think the switch to university a:ssistel bf icba:t~ tbapliu piauo Ot~I Leaming ur-story bt College ca bombed b: terrorist by "a bunc Sunday rr Dorothy Ne told police hing for am when sneaking gh the 1 spect alleg( back entrar b)1 J)tttd, ~d. 7obtt 1tank ilrilft, Jtda:n~ attl o ilt tfJc •orotb1 Datu tcuut £of ticking rn then took ry whi known lcdotmittf ect,s J;all nt a Harl( 26, in th, .

M, i ~ ·• •••••••••••••• �Green-Away a green Ii ght by Mona Lott The construction of a fishpond and wishing well are part of Wilkes College's recently initiated Green-Away Program. By 1994, if the comprehensive, ongoing project proceeds as planned, the entire campus should be covered by concrett:, macadam, or asphalt. By getting rid of all grassy areas, as well as trees, shrubs, and flower beds, the cost of maintaining the grounds will be greatly reduced. Additional benefits to the College are severalfold. The college will no longer play host to insects such as bees and ladybugs, thereby reducing the risk of painful stings or bites to students. Additionally, students will be submerged in an atmos phere conducive to modem learning without the distraction of such staples of nature as plants and animals. Squirrel traps and high voltage bird zappers will keep these annoying pests from entering the concrete sanctity of the campus. The fishpond will be located in the empty lot between the belltower and South Street. It will measure 6 yards across at its greatest breadth, and will gently slope to 5 feet at its deepest point. The elliptical pool will be bordered by a broad stone walkway so that people may stroll around it's perimeter. Floodlights will be installed for the protection of those who wish to strcll at night. The pond will be stocked with vinyl , all- weather fish that are "attractive dean of student affairs.

I believe that both I've seen the light: Wilkes by M. E. Evers Yes, brothers and sisters! Yes, friends, family, and significant others! Yes, all de little chillun of Ge world! I have seen the light! I have seen the light and it -was revealed to me while I was reading a National Enquirer article about Jimmy Swaggart! And the light said to me, "M. E., M. E., repent your evil ways! Repent your evil thoughts about the belltqwer! Repent all the nasty things you've ever said about this beautiful institution in your column! Repent, and atone for your sins, and be SAVED!" "Oh, light," I said, "You've shown me the light and I believe in the light! But . . . what is the light? I mean, it looks a lot like an Eveready flashlight to me " "Silence, mere mortal! None of your flippancy! The light is the light of higher learning that burns brightly in all the hallowed halls of Wilkes College! This is the light whose existence you have denied! Believe in the light and repent, or perish in the everlasting flames of the particle accelerator in SLC!" I didn't need a second to think about that one: the light had already convinced me that I had been lost in the dark wood of error. "Oh light, how can I repent for my sins? I changed my mind; I was wrong; I really didn't mean all those ugly things I said about the College. Wilkes is a beautiful, beautiful place-with a veritable plethora of learning experiences for all! And the belltower is a wonderful architectural structure--a marvel of art and technology!" "Not bad," commented the light, "but that's easy to say," he continued. "What are you going to do about it?

A source within the GreenAway group reported that several projects are already planned for the near future. Topping the list is the creation of much-needed parking space by constructing a multilevel parkade where the River Common now is. "The park, which is not very nice anyway, is a small sacrifice for such a wonderful structure as a bland, grey parkade," claims Honey C. Menn, chairperson of the GreenAway Committee. Another project in the works involves the creation of an Olympic sized hopscotch court between the SUB and the Evans alumni house. The athletic department jumped at the chance to initiate an intramural hopscotch league. "It's not just for kids anymore," said recentl)' hired director of fun and games, Maude-Lynn Shrowd. The group is split on how to use the land between the belltower and the library. One faction feels that a much-needed heliport could be put in. Opponents of this say that the heliport can be installed on the roof of Stark and that this area should be used to showcase a recently acquired work of art. An eight and a half-ton sculpture, carved from one huge lump of anthracite coal, by reknowned Wyoming Valley sculptor Ima Miner, is an "abstract representation of the birth of IS the faithful." "Oh, please, I'll do anything! Anything! Walk over hot coals! Stand in the top of the belltower when the chimes go off! Listen to tape-recordings of any speech the President ever made at any College function-over and over!" · I screamed wildly. "No, we've thought of something that will utilize your unique talents--not only showing us the strength of your conviction, but making good use of your talents, as well. . . we want you to write propag--oops, letters to prospective students telling them how valuabl~ you have found your experiences at Wilkes." "Yes, spirit, I'll do it! I'll do anything for the glory that is Wilkes and the grandeur that is the belltower! I just want to make up for all those evil things I said about the school! Never again! I will tum my column from the festering wound of annoyance it has become into a source of joy for all members of great! the Wilkes community! "And more than that, spirit! I want to continue my atonement after graduation! I'm going to Carler .

His opponents are Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis and Gary "Whatchu talkin' 'bout?" Coleman, who still look eight years old. The film starts in Philadelphia where Rocky has been institutionalized at an old age home by his wife. This occurred after she asked him what he wanted for breakfast and he replied, "Yo Adrian, come sit on my plate." He ttien proceeded to punch her in a multitude of areas. So Rocky got wheeled into the institution and Adrian married Mr T. Soon afterwards, Adrian and Mr. T adopt Hays and Tays (played by Coleman and Lewis).

Wilkes has already been granted permission to move to Division I. With the players who have already requested a transfer to Wilkes it was the University's only move. Just this morning Head Basketball Coach Ron Rainey met with J.R. Reid former standout star for the University of North Carolina. Reid will be joining the Colonels basketball team in September. Several other standouts have also transferred to Wilkes. Joining the Wilkes basketball squad will be Sean Elliot (Arizona University), Jerome Lane (Pittsburgh) , and Mark Macon (Tenfple). The women's basketball team has also been inundated with numerous players. Reports from the athletic department are that many other top ·notch athletes have been turned away because of the overflow. The n·umber of basketball players, both male and female, has drastically increased since Wilkes' announcement of switching to Division I. Sources from inside the · athletic office say that the flood of athletes is directly related to the new Sports and Conference Center. "Ever since the new Sports and Conference Center has been built the request from athletes already attending major colleges and universities to transfer here has been phenomenal," said a source from within the athletic department who requested not to be identified. "Our only alternative was to request a switch to Division I. Now that has been granted we can go $ead and accept Reid's, Elliot's, Lane's, and Macon's transfer applications. Four · secretaries have been hired in the athletic office just to handle the phone calls from all the prospective athletic candictates. Attempts to contact Coach Rainey liave failed.

Besides comedy, Reed professes to be an expert in basketball, juggling, and improvisation. The Hartford Advocate says about Earl Reed that "he has a .dynamic, multi-faceted approach to comedy." The Sunday Post says, "Reed's act showed a good sense of timing, and he had a wide-eyed innocent look: mat worked well with his material." And J.T.

So far at she has completely relied on the scholarship money. Judy's next .goal is to win Miss Pennsylvania, and after that she would like to try for Miss America. The past two winners of the Miss Pennsylvania .contest were each a former Miss Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton. She will have to compete against 22 other winners of area pageants for the title of Miss Pennsylvania. The winner of Miss Pennsylvania receives $15,000 scholarship money. That is exactly what Judy is working for. Judy had never been to a pageant before that, and she didn't expect to win the crown. She felt the competition was difficult because all the other girls involved were more experienced. The crowd thought that her performance was wonderful. She sang Whitney Houston's song, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?" She has been working very hard on her ability to perform, and the hard work will continue until she enters the Miss Pennsylvania competition on June 11 in Al- toona. The preparation has been and will continue to be difficult for Judy. She has already given up chocolate for 5 months, and has been working out by lifting weights. "I found it certainly keeps me busy," she said. When asked if she had anything to say to Wilkes College students about winning, she said, "A beauty pageant is an illusion. People think it is all a big 'head trip' that builds a person's ego, but most of us are there for that scholarship money. The scholarship money is the biggest goal I have set for myself."

Galbraith, 80, served as deputy administrator of the Office of Price Administration in the early 1940s and was a principle figure in organizing the wartime system of price control, which he headed until 1943. He later held other public offices and was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Harry S. Truman. Galbraith traced major economic movements through history. "If we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it," he said. He began with the issue of slavery -- a social, economic and religious problem of our early capitalistic society - and continued up to the problems of unemployment and inflation in the 80s. .

As a wide range of pro- �April 14, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their 2ame Editorial Faculty involvement vital Enrollment, the bell tower and Joolcor This week's issue of The Beacon features a short question and answer section in which faculty members were asked to respond to how they felt they were treated by "the boss" (i.e. the administrators) here at Wilkes. This section brings out a valid point: many times the views of the faculty here are not taken into consideration, or their views are never voiced because of the fear of political retribution. Yes, there are faculty meetings, and the Faculty Grievance Committee, and the committee process in general. Certainly individual faculty members can talk to the President or other administators privately, but overall, faculty participation in the operation of the College is severely limited. Some would argue that faculty members are here only to teach. How the school is managed should not concern them. Is there any validity to this statement? True, not all faculty members are trained in adminstrative skills. Admimstrators are trained to manage, and with this management comes a certain amount of responsibility and power. It is when the power that administrators are given becomes concentrated, and they are unwilling to distribute that power evenly, that problems arise. In this case, faculty are refused a voice in issues that directly affect them, such as merit pay, the hiring of adjunct professors, and university status. These are issues that it is not only sensible to give faculty members a chance to address, but necessary. After all, just as ali faculty members are not aware of the intricacies of management, administrators are not the authority on instructing students or the autthority on the best interest of the faculty. It would seem that abuse of power has become a problem at Wilkes. The most notable way in which the administrators are taking advantage of this power is in the clandestine manipulation of faculty members. Ideally, a faculty member should be assured that if he expresses a view that "clashes with that of the administrative view that there will be no retaliation, either direct or indirect, against his actions. Judging from the hedging answers The Beacon has received on touchy issues, and the reluctance of many faculty members to go on the record with information, this retaliation is a very real threat. Although the President assures the faculty that their _views can be heard, there are administrative pressures that prevent faculty from speaking their minds. If a faculty member has a grievance against a policy change the College is making he is, in fact, taking a risk in speaking out. If the faculty member is untenured the risk is obvious--he can jepordize his opportunity for tenure by stepping on the wrong toes. For tenured members of the community the risk is less obvious. The powers that be have to work harder to make their dissatisfaction known. This can take any of a variety of forms: refusing orders for goods, giving the faculty member a too heavy, too light or not challenging enough work load, cancelling (by covert means) classes a faculty member is teaching. In any case, a faculty member stands to lose from speaking his mind. The question that remains is not how the faculty can get the administrators to listen, although this is important. The real question is how to get the administration to share their power with the faculty in those areas that require faculty input. The answer is complicated by the fact that the adminstration seems to give the faculty little more than "window-dressing" input. In the face of administrative stonewalling, the solution to this problem must originate from the faculty. The Beacon proposes a three-point solution. First, the faculty must organize to present a strong, unified front. The administration would be more receptive to a larger, more cohesive group than they would to small, fragmented factions. Seco_nd, the group must negotiate with the administration for the nght to participate in college policy making. In affairs that dir~ctly affect the academic atmosphere of the College or the faculty m general, the faculty should be an integral part of management, not just a corollary to that management. And finally, the faculty has to insure the safety of its members. Any faculty member should have the right to express. opinions that oppose administrative policy without fear of retribution, perhaps through a set of enforceable guidelines. Political strongarming is unethical, and does not promote a healthy cooperation between members of the administration and faculty. It makes sense for members of the faculty to be involved in the management of the school when it directly involves them. But this involvement can only be achieved through a cooperation between the faculty and administration. Once this cooperation is ac hieved, it will not only generate a more effectively fuunctioning institution, but will generate the kind of attitude that is vital to the fulfillment of Wilkes' communal goals. by M. E. Evers Wilkes? Don't ask silly questions. The College always says it expected enrollment to increase next year. It didn't specify enrollment of humans .

Intelligence was measured by who was in power and in terms of the government then in control. After encountering so much bureaucracy, Galbraith said that he began to notice something happening in certain industries - people were beginning to resemble the products they manufactured. Remedies have been as painful as the disease of stagflation itself. Galbraith said that cutting the budget weakened the basic industry, caused farm disaster. higher unemployment rates and a heavy international trade deficit. Although he said he did not befieve that there is any magic in monetary policy, he was not against cutting the budget where necessary . This would apply to programs involving technological advancements but not Lo many social programs. He said even if the national budget is reduced, minorities lik~ the elderly, farmers and minimum wage workers should be protected. Galbraith was hopeful for the future of the US economy. He paralleled last year's stock market 'Crash to the crash of 1929. Although there were some rough years following the crash, he said, the market trading did A pilgrimage to reverse the Arms Race improve. He said that since we have social programs available and a good banking system not present in the 20s, recovery from the latest crash should be easier. When asked what presidential candidate he would support, he replied that, as a rule, he always supported friends and that Gov. Michael Dukakis was ·a friend from his home state of Massachusetts. Galbraith's visit was organized by the Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley, in cooperation with King's College, College Misericordia, Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia and Wilkes College. Representives of Wilkes at the student question and answer period at the news conference held prior to the lecture were: Anne Humphrey, West Pittston; David Tevet, Kingston; Nagwa Taylor, Kingston; John J.

But , was that enough? People need to make a statement about peace, and college students are planning a two-week peace walk to reverse the direction of the Arms Race. This walk will be aiming to halt the progress of nuclear testing. The march will go through many east coast c1 ties. the east coast being the most densly populated part of the country. By marching, the peace message will be brought to the thousands of people who will be encoun-tered, as well as those who will later read about the walk. Petitions will be given to Congressmen along the way to urge them to demand legislation to slow the arms race. Workshops and presentations will be pro-vided to educate those involved about the arms race. There are two phases of the walk: New York to Philadelphia, May 23 to May 29, and Philadelphia to Washington, May 29 to June 5. One has the option of walking in one phase or both phases. The walk is sponsored by many peace groups and religious groups on the east coast. On the national level, it is supported by United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War. This is the fifth annual pilgrimage. It will begin Monday, May 23, at the United Na-lions in NYC, and seven days later the walkers will arrive at Indepen-dence Hall, Philadelphia. The final phase will end in Washington. A fifteen minute VHS video cassette of previous peace walks, or a set of 105 slides with a 12 minute audio tape, are also available. The deadline for registration is April 30. Food and indoor lodging are available every day. The average daily distance covered is 12 miles.

So often the voice of the teacher goes unheard, so I thought it was time to change that. All names are withheld to remove any fears which · may cause teachers to alter genuine answers. Here's what tliey said: "The administration seems not to care about the desires or opinions of the faculty. Faculty are told that we have input into various decisions, but, actually, we have none. The administration is riot nearly so aggressive in improving the abysmal salaries and horrendously inadequate benefits of Wilkes faculty members." "It's about the same as at other schools. Now, state schools are a different story. There have been substantial improvements in the past year." "My impression is that they are fairly sensitive to the faculty needs." "I'm only part-time, so I don't have to deal with them too much." "I never feel treated by the administration, I deal with them. I'm an equal partner in the operation of the school. " "The word I would use is CHEAP. We arc treated like we are cheap, like the peripheral part of the college." "I chink I'm treated pretty well for a part-time teacher." "I can only speak for myself, and I would say that we are treated with great respect by both the administration and the students -- it doesn't pay very well, but we get treated like kingl Our resources are limited. There are all kinds of things that aren't right, but Wilkes is a good employer." "I think we could get more credit where credit is due. We don't get the nice pat on the back that we should get at times." "It's tough for me to answer, I'd better pass." "Badly. This past week an administrator fired the chairman of the education department. The chairman of the education department has been chairman for many years. The administrator has been at Wilkes for four months. Clearly, if the administration does not like what a teacher is doing, they will retaliate." "Salary-wise, Wilkes falls below the national average. But there is a lot more to teaching than economics, such as adequate facilities, class size and equipment. We try to keep class sizes small, but equipment and facilities are not what they should be." �P~ 'EFOUR April 14, 1988 • to give address on peace Want Ads: Bishop The Beacon seeks talented individuals with wntmg skills to fill editorial positions of Editor-in-Chief, News Editor, Feature Editor, Sports Editor, Copy Editor, Photography Editor, Advertising Mana~ec and Business Manager.

I shall try to identify four of them, and whether or not the following perceptions are objectively accurate, I believe them to be first-hand ones.

They watched a van and a car full of clean, Well-fed college students unload in front of a neglected four story structure. The students stood on a street filled with rubbish in front of the grafitti-covered building which they would inhabit during their spring break. They knew they had a great deal of work to do, so they took a deep breath of New York air and entered the building. The sight and odor inside the building were worse than on the street and some of the students gasped. The grafitti did not stop outside the building; it somehow got past the deadbolted steel doors, and made it's way onto the walls and ceiling of the foyer. The students climbed to the third floor wh~re they would work and sleep for the week. This was it; this was the l1oor used as a shelter to house home- le~"S people, and this was the reason they were here. The students all chose to spend their spring break in New York renovating the Trinity Shelter. They each felt that they would be doing something to help fellow human beings, although most of them weren't sure what that something was. They were doing actual hands-on work, but that wasn't all. By doing something small like fixing up a shelter, they were doing something big -- they were showing that they care about fellow hum ans bei11gs. Five students from Wilkes College, two students from King's College, and eight students from Kent .State University attended the event. Also in attendance were Tony Vento, Interfaith liaison to Wilkes College, and Pat Duhon, Campus Minister at the Newman Center for Kent State University, who organized the event with Ch::trlie McGarry and Christoph Lingg, two men who supervise the shelter. Upon arrival at the shelter, students were given some time to adjusting to their new surroundings. A few stood looking onto the street below through dirt-covered windows, and they were shocked to see drugs and money bei~g passed in sight of everyone on the street. Others explored the three rooms and bathroom of the shelter. The bathroom was a major concern for everyone there. On the first day in the shelter there was no running water. On Sunday, and throughout the rest of the week, there was only cold water, so those who did not want to stand in a rusty portable shower which only sprayed ice cold water had to do without. The three groups of college volunteers joined together for a group meeting. Names were exchanged and reasons for heiping the homeless were shared. It was an informal meeting, and afterwards the group went to an Indian restaurar t .for dinner. Sunday Wll$ a free day for all the volunteers. Everyone spent the day sigh:seeing in New York City. It was a fun-filled day which enabled everyone to g0! acquainted. .. Renovations started early Monday morning at 8.

That popular snob from the drama department. To ease the long wait, I bothered to ask her, by way of making conversation, what she had done over break. "Oh, naturally I went to Manhattan," she gushed. "That's nice," I said, staring at the floor indicator over the elevator door. Would the car never get back to ground floor? Natalie crooked her hair behind her ear and kept talking. "Had lunch with Madonna, saw 'Hairspray' with Mink Stole and did dinner with Leslie Gore who is planning a comeback album!" Natalie told me. "That's nice," I offered. I had stayed home and steam-andvac'd the carpets. "Then," Natalie continued, "I got taken to "Into the Woods" for Bernadette Peters final performance and sat right in front of Steven Sondheim." Natalie searched my eyes for envy. The elevator finally arrived. "That's nice." I offered, searching my brain for something exciting that I had done, like lubing my recliner. "Next it was off to 'Tallulah'." Natalie went on breathlessly. "Did I tell you I know the guy that wrote it?" she asked me. Before I could answer Natalie continued, "Well, naturally he insisted on taking pie backstage to meet Helen Gallagher, the Star of that onewoman show. Couldn't have been sweeter, don't you think?" Natalie wanted to know. "The sweetest," I said. The elevator stopped at the second floor while nobody got on or off to interrupt the conversation. "Naturally we all went out to Charlie's for drinks," Natalie went on. · Helen was so supportive of my career here at Wilkes. Told me to look her up the simple minute I graduate. Isn't that special?" Natalie wanted to know. "That's special," I offered. The elevator stopped at the third floor and nobody got on or off. "Then Daddy picked me up in the Village and drove us to the Hamptons for a picnic at Davirl Lettermaa's. Everybody who is anybody was there," she tole me. I remembered that Veronica and I had had dinner at ChiChi 's, but I didn't mention it. The elevator finally got to the fourth floor. "What did you do?" Natalie finally condescended to ask me. She crooked her hair behind her other ear and assumed fifth position. "I changed the oil in my Honda, all by myself." ·1 offered. "That's sweet," Natalie said. The elevator doors finally opened on the fourth floor. She called "Toodles," and started running down the hall toward Earth Science. "I have to dash," she called over her shoulder. "I'm having lemonade with Chris Breiseth at 4:00." Suddenly I remembered. "Natalie," I shouted, "I forgot to tell you. Over b.-eak I sold my novel!" But she was gone. I ambled slowly toward the Math Department. "Oh well," I thought, staring through the glass window into the bleak math offices.

Kinney introduced him as "a high school student . . . no different from you, except he is concerned!" Clark is the editor-inchief of the The Billows, the Ocean City High Sc!-_c;ol newspaper, and an accomplished sports writer and columnist for the Ocean City Sentinal Ledger. Clark's main theme was "Social Concerns of the High School Student." He also commented on how to write crisp editorials; for this he brought a hand-out. Clark also took questions. The other seminar was geared toward the potential lawyer. These students were brought to yet a different recital hall also located in the CPA. The first speaker was Eugene Roth, a Wilkes alumnus and attomey at the firm of Rosenn, Jenkins and Greenwald. Roth spoke about the opportunities in the field of law. He mentioned how a lawyer isn't confined to just being an attorney. Following Roth was Goerge Waldner, vice-president of academic affairs. Waldner spoke about the pre-law program at Wilkes. Wilkes does not have pre-law as a major; instead, it has a council set up to advise students who would like to attend law school. The council is headed by Dr. John Natzke who is assisted by Dr. Barbara Jordan as advisors. The next person to speak was Rhonda Fahmy, a Wilkes graduate and first year law student at Georgetown University. Fahrny told of her experiences as a first year law student. Gemini- Happy Week!!! You deserved it; you got it. Capricorn- Calm yourself with the little things because this week you will be spending a lot of time on some big surprises. Cancer- Be on guard for some overt hostility coming your way. You may not deserve it, so stand up and give it right back.

Saturday night, a CPA audience of over one hundred people were treated to an evening of fabulous entertainment from the "Nightsounds" of Central City Nite Flite, and the comedy of Earl Reed. Central City Nite Flite, the opening act, primed the audience for the fast paced jabs of Reed. They played three tunes and left the audience wanting more. In fact, even Reed was complimentary. "If I ever guest host 'The Late Show', I'm gonna bring you guys on with me," · he pledged to the band and the crowd. Reed's humor was fast and furious as he went from item to item on his "list." He found the funniest things in every little piece of life he could find. A look at the first two minutes of his performance will confirm that. He went from wanting to "hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya"' to college ("I went to college, I can prove it; I can do that thing with the bottle cap!") to the women in Iowa (" 1 out of 3 women in Iowa are ugly, so look to the left and look to the right, if either of those people are beautiful, you're in trouble!") to why women pee in groups and finally to why they call bathrooms "restrooms" -- all this in a 119 N. Main St. Wilkes-Barre, PA two minute span! He also poked fun at TV gameshows, commercials ("4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum; who's the fifth dentist that doesn't recomend sugarless?"), parents ("Parents are stupid.

"It's a real sense of accomplishment _w e have after each show," said Andrew Morrell, the 1988 Board Chairman. "Everybody on the Board puts a lot of time into our work," he explained, "but we have a great time doing it." the members of the Programming Board have different reasons for their enthusiasm for the organ1zuon. Kim Evans, chairperson of the Board's publicity committee, enjoys meeting the many "up-and-coming" performers the Programming Board has brought to Wilkes. She said that Livingston Taylor was one of the most interesting performers she has met, along with comedian Wayne Cotter, · who has _. appeared on The David Letterman Show several times. Sandie Adams, on the other hand, simply enjoys being part of it all. "It has become something of a habit," she said, "once you are involved you can't seem to give it up." Arny Wiedemer, who supervises all Board activities, said she is proud of what the members of the organization have done for the Wilkes community. Unfortunately, many students at Wilkes are unaware of the Programming Board's function, and do not realize that membership is open to any students interested. Several members of the Board will be leaving in May due to graduation, and the organization is in need of new members to replace them. To help resolve this problem the Programming Board planned a special event to enable students to learn more about the Board. -----FLASH----PRESS RELEASE In a game marred by a benchclearing premature victory celebration, the Fabulous Footlong Hot Dogs with Kraut won for the first time in the two-year history of the franchise.

Although the Lady Colonels' softball team's record stands at 44, Coach Dave Martin says that the team could have easily been 7-1 had it not been for mistakes at crucial times. Excellent performances have been given by Jen Bodnar, Erika Oswald and Melissa Kennedy in these early games. If these early performances are any indication of the upcoming games, the rest of the season looks bright. The Lady Colonels' MAC record stands at 20. Their next game is on the read at Susquehanna for a doubleheader on Saturday. GAME ONE Wilkes 13 King's 1 Bodnar threw a three-hitter in the first game rout of King's. She had two strikeouts and one walk. Michelle Toth went 3 for 4 and drove in four runs, while Kennedy drove in three runs and Kelli Wandel had three hits. Losing pitcher for King's was Diane Ratchko, who, along with reliever Bonnie Overdorf, gave up ten hits and walked seven. GAME TWO King's 12 Wilkes 8 In the nightcap of the doubleheader, King's beat the Lady Colonels behind the hitting of Elyse Fetchko, who went 3 for 3. Oswald went 2 for 3 and hit a grand slam in the fourth, which proved to be Wilkes' big inning. At that point, the score was 8-3, with Wilkes in the lead. Bodnar showed that pitching is not her only talent by going 3 for 3, while Jill McGuire went 2 for 3. Losing pitcher for the Lady Colonels was Kim Skrepenak, who allowed eight runs and four hits in 4 213 mnmgs. Oswald relieved Skrepenak in the fifth. Winning pitcher for King's was Bonnie Overdorf, who allowed ten hits and struck out three.

A large portion of the crowd at the First Presbyterian Church consisted of college students. Instead of seeing a figure adorned in an ornate religious robe who talked as if at a great distance from his audience, the crowd met a man dressed in a simple suit who talked directly with them on a personal level. Gumbleton currently serves as the President of Pax Christi, USA, the American Chapter of the International Peace movement which is strongly endorsed by Pope John Paul II. He is also one of five bishops responsible 'for the authorship of the U.S. ' Catholic Bishops' recent peace pastoral letter, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response," which has stirred much controversy and discussion not only among Christian churches but in the secular political and economic order as well. r Bisho Gumbleton spoke on "Disarming the heart." The auxilliary bishop said ee e h ti Lori eary. Lady ho gave four hits 0 ry about. He was told to teach young men that it was their duty to go to war. Priests in Detroit who took stands against war were arrested and jailed. The Bishop ordered young Gumbleton to talk some of these men out of an "embarrassing situation." Gumbleton said, "By the time I left, I was ready to join them." During the Vietnam War, when people began to question their involvement in war, Gumbleton said he reviewed his early theology. He said he found that just-war theology said, "If you can't know enough about war, don't go." Gumbleton mentioned that extraordinary people like Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, assasinated by government forces in 1980, and Martin Luther King were two men who stood behind their convictions and were murdered for them. He said that even though Romero said, "I have often been threatened by death, but as a Christian I do not believe in death without resurrection. As a shepherd, I am obliged to give [my life] for those I love -- to those who are going to murder Continued on p.5 alse alarm sounded at CPA aryw cond, h dr le G that he has become convinced, as he has journeyed on the path of non-violence, that the method of conversion to peaceful living happens within the spirit and heart -- not just through a matter of intellectual reasoning. He related a sermon of a Lutheran pastor who was imprisoned in a concentration camp during World War IL The pastor saw a fellow prisoner being hanged and became deeply angered and upset. He wanted to see his persecutors suffer for what they were doing. After dwelling on the event further the pastor asked himself, , "What if Jesus had thought such a thought when hanging on the cross?" As a result of his introspection, the pastor learned to love the same people who were persecuting him. Gumbleton said that when he was young, his three brothers were drafted into the war. Even though his parents didn't want to see their sons go off to war, and his brothers didn't want to leave, Gumbleton said that no one would think to question the government about the draft. During this time, he had been taught that war was something a priest shouldn't wor- of sirens emergency vehicles internight classes last Thursnd 9 pm.

Chief William Milz of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department said that when the firemen arrived, they had to go back to the driveway to the left of the building by the annunciator's office to wait for a key.

So is the academic basis for future Wilkes College students. At a recent faculty meeting, The Core Review Committee presented the faculty with an overview of the proposed core curriculum. This new curriculum does retain some of the features of the "old" core, but there have been some significant changes suggested, some of which may very well threaten the academic atmosphere here instead of strngthening it There are changes throughout the entire makeup of the core, but the changes that should most concern us are seen in the section of the proposed core that delineates the distribution requirements; that is, how many credits students are expected to take from the variety of disciplines. Briefly, the core proposes that students would be expected to take courses in areas entitled "Culture and Value," "The Scientific World," "Creative and Artistic Expression," and "Society and Human Behavior." Not so much of a change from the present core, except that they slapped fancy labels on it, right? Not exactly. Then how does this differ from the current core? The units under Culture and Value include History, Philosophy and Foreign Language. Basically students are expected to take fewer credits in each of these disciplines. Instead of having to take History 101 and 102, students have to take only one history course to fulfill their core requirement The same goes for philosophy. The only addition this section makes is that of a foreign language. Students, under the proJM>sed core, would have to take one course in a foreign language or one course that studies a foreign culture. As far as sciences go, the new core proposes that students take three courses in any of the science fields, but they may not, to fulfill their requtrements, take any two in the same field. Again, no continuation of the sequence is urged. "Creative Expression," the same thing--students have to only take one English course after 101 and 102, instead of the 151 and 152 World Literature sequences they must take now. Although there may be some logic in this change--that is, that students will be able to get an introduction into a wider variety of courses and disciplines--it leaves out one major point. The introduction will be only the most basic of introductions. Sure, students will be taking more disciplines, but they will never really get the insight into a discipline that one can get from taking a sequence. By essentially paring down the sequences students have to take, the College is paring down the student's usable knowledge. Sure, it's great that a student can get introduced to many different kinds of knowledge, but if that student is left hanging academically, then what is the sense? The argument here is that students will be urged to follow up on the sequences in their free electives. This may be so, but how can students determine what their interests are unless they are given more than an eight-week introduction? There is a bright spot in this new proposed core: the requirements for incoming freshmen seem to be more stringent than they have been in the past In addition to four years of Engliah, three years of math, and a year of history, students would be expected to have two years of science, two years of a foreign language, and an introduction to computers. Although certainly this proposed core gives students a wider variety of courses they can take to fulfill their requirements, it ignores one thing--the students' overall academic health. Sure, many students know after one course that they hate what they're doing, but perhaps that is only a first reaction. U a student 1s urged to go on in a field, even if he has to take that second course, perhaps he will have change of heart, or at least he will be better prepared to say that he doesn't like it. In any case, a sequence gives the student a reasonable chance to learn all that he can. He can appreciate and begin to understand a discipline--the main goal of education. To require only one course in a sequence may be fostering more of a "take a course to get it over attitude" than many may be considering. The most logical suggestion: don't change a thing. Or if changes need to be made--such as the ·foreign language requirement-then make them on a small scale. The present core serves its purpose well: it does .g ive students a glimpse into a wide variety of disciplines. The present core does foster an appreciation and an understanding of a variety of disciplines The propsed core may only be living up to half of that bargain.

I realize that wntmg about senioritis gives me a limited audience--my fellow seniors--and for that reason, I advise the rest of you to "clip and save" this column for future reference. Wondering if you have senioritis? Here are some of the symptoms: --Do you know the exact number of days until graduation?

No, the hardest part is thinking of those first few "attentiongrabbing" sentences. To be honest with you, I usually write my column over my breakfast coffee and Cap'n Crunch. I have enough trouble trying to grab my own attention at that time of the morning, let alone yours, gentle readers. But I ran out of Cap'n Crunch today, and the creative juices just won't flow without it. So I'm just going to start my column. No flowery introduction. No waiting for three paragraphs to find out what the topic is. Just the column.

So I throw the sheets off my weary body, grab the crispy paperback and start to read. My eyes slowly close, and I don't comprehend everything I read, but it's got to be done. Does everyone feel this way, or am I the only one who . always has school on their mind almost every single hour of the day? What is due tomorrow? If I have too much tonight, what can I blow off? My friends and I were discussing which is more difficult holding a full-time job or being a full-time college student. In my opinion it is the latter. When a person has a full-time job, he or she can leave it at 5 o'clock. He or she physically and emotionally leaves it with no homework to worry about, no exams to study for, and the knowledge that the work they face each day is familiar. College students receive new things to study and learn about 2 or 3 times a day. This is exhausting for the very reason that they · bring it home with them. If college ended when the bells rang, the people walking around would probably be healthier looking. Constant worrying certainly must peanut butter and jelly .,sandwich in my room, so I can finish reading 65 pages for English class.

Here at Wilkes, it has been a sink or swim situation, and although it has taken three semesters, I have conditioned myself to only need about 6 hours of sleep (and a 15 minute nap the next day); Why am I doing this to myself? I have heard that · college students have sleeping habits like babies. It must be true. Classes are exhausting. Personal!y, when I return to my room after a class, the first thing I want to do is shut my shade, pop a Billy Joel tape in my stereo and close my eyes to relax for a minute. But do I?

Math professor writes statistics book Dr. Samual Merrill, Professor of · Mathematics and Computer Science at Wilkes College, has written a book entitled "Making Multicandidate Elections More Democratic," which is scheduled for pub1Hcation in May by Princeton /University Press. The book is .based largely on his research at Wilkes on the comparison of voting systems using mathematical modeling and computer · simulation. Merrill said, "The book evaluates voting procedures for. elections with three or more candidates. When more than two candidates run under the present !System , no one, not even the .winner, may get the majority. This is all too clear iJ:i the :current presidential primaries in which 30 percent or less is often 'enough to win. Furthermore , a voter may resort to voting for a second choice if a favorite has little chance to win."

Both annual programs are sponsored by the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Students who attend the conference submit research papers on the topic of their choice and present them to other students and professors. While high school students are judged on their papers and recieve merits for them, college students present the results of extensive lab work and are not judged. This year's college convention was held from Friday, April 15, to Sunday, April 17, at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, PA. Over 100 papers in many different areas of science including biology, chem- istry, geology and psychology, were presented by students and faculty from nearly 50 colleges in the state. Wilkes had seven representativcs, the most from any college. Dr. Ken Klemow, biology professor and Wilkes coordinator of the event, sai\:f that the event is important because it shows how much research is being done by the students and professors at Wilkes. Dr. Lester Turoczi, biology department chairman, was invited to present a paper called "The Expectations and Boundarics of Human Gene Therapy" as part of an opening symposium on biology ethics. The other six papers by Wilkes representatives were: "Annual Growth Decline in Red Spruce in Northeastern Pennsylvania," ~ by Jo Anne Oliver and Kennneth Klcmow; "Plant Communities of the Tubs Natural Area, Luzerne County Pennsylvania," by Klemow; "Seed Production and Early Seedling Survival in Echium Vulgare" by Darcy Broody and Klemow; "Comparative Oral Morphology of a Few Representative Salamanders" by Dr. David Long, biology teacher; the program "Distribution, New Records and Notes on the Land Planarian Rhynchodemus Sylvaticus (Leidy) in America (Platy-helmimhes: Turbellaria) " by Robert Ogren, Wilkes biology professor emeritus, and Julian Darlington, of Memphis, Tennessee and "Lead in Sediments of Lake Nuangola, Luzerne County, Penna." by Charles Reif, Wilkes College past chairman and biology professor emeritus. off sprLn«J and. summer rnerchand.i,se uth Main Stre lkes-Barre, PA al( wLthWilfws student 'L. n·. Hours: Daily 10-5:30 Thursday 10-8:30 ,. 823-1050 · everyone starts the process of registation. With summer in the air everyone is eager to go through the selection list and pick their classes. This is not always as easy as it seems. There seems to be a shortage of space in the classrooms and a less than adequate amount of professors. With registration being such a hassle, many students and professors are becoming annoyed. If there is such an overflow of students registering for these classes then why doesn't the College put some of our tuition toward our education and hire more professors and expand the more demanded classes? I feel that we are here to gt our education, and with the amount of tuition " we pay (still on the increase) we should at least be able to take the classes we want. Another proplem with the classes being closed is the fact that it takes up everyone's time. Not only are the students forced to wander back and forth to their advisor's office several times, but it also consumes our advisor's time. Instead of ignoring this problem I think the College should start to take action, and put some time and effort into the scheduling. This is our future that is being taken lightly, and I think since we are willing to invest our time and money we should be taken seriously and so should our demands.

There are 80 commuter parking spaces which make up the lots of Gore, Pickering and Temple. We receive approximately 200 applications each semester for permits. Normally we will issue about 120 permits, historically this amount of overrun keeps the lots full making most efficient use of space. The 1987-88 year was the worst in recent history. Flagrant disregard for rules, people without permits and dorm students using commuter lots has made controlling the lots very difficult. For the 1988-89 academic year, C.C. is proposing a solution to the parking problem. First and foremost is the need for the strictest enforcement of rules, this means immediate towing of illegally parked cars. C.C. has been talking with Wilkes Securityrying to develop a strong yet fair position on this issue. We also feel that by making Gore a "free for all" we would be able to serve more people. · We would continue to issue specific permits for Temple and Pickering to ensure places for those who truly need a parking space as well as a certain percentage of the average person. The "free for all" lot will work like this: after the applications have been examined and Pickering and Temple are filled, a different colored sticker would be issued to the rest of the applicants, for Gore. This way, everyone who applies has at least a chance for a parking place. 1. Should Gore become a "free for all?"- - - - - - - - - 2. How should security treat illegally parked cars?_ _ __ 3.

On April 22, students will be given a chance to help raise local awareness concerning a much-needed permanent shelter for the homeless people of Wyoming Valley. Students from King's College, College Misericoria, and Wilkes College will join together for a sleep-out in Kirby Park. At 10 pm Friday evening, all students who signed up to participate in the sleep-out -- called "Waiting for the Dawn of Concern" -- will meet in the fencedin area of Kirby Park. Each college will wear different color arm bands to distinguish between the three groups. Wilkes will be wearing black arm bands to represent the mourning students who want to help with problems the homeless people have. The right kind of action needs to be taken; we want a positive change." There will be police protection, a bandstand, bathroom facilities, and access to a telephone.

Programming Board meeting, Thursdays, noon SUB TV room or call X2925 or X~108 ' PAGE SEVEN Finish the day with Barry Drake by Lee Morrell The end of the school year is finally upon us. With the halt of classes and exams comes, sadly enough, the final show of the year for the Programming Board. It has been quite a memorable year, and an equally fine one for the Board. But as that great philosopher Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'ti! it's over," and, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." Well, Barry Drake ain't fat and he ain't no lady, but he is the last solo-concert performer of the 1987-88 season. So, it is over when Barry Drake sings. The day of Barry's second performance on Wilkes' campus will be a very busy one but an rven more entertaining one. . ~artier in the day will be the annual IRHC (Inter-Residence Hall Council) Block Party. Then, before Drake comes on, Tim Webster and Tom Barlow, Wilkes students, will open the show. The show begins at 8:00pm and will be the final installation of the Saturday night SUBset. The fact that Drake is making his second stop at Wilkes shouldn't shock anyone. As a matter of fact, Drake has visited an astonishing 338 different schools in 35 states. Also, . in a majority of those schools, he returned for a second . . . third . . . and, in one case, eleventh show. The best test of a performer's success is being asked to perform back at a college year after year. Drake's return date record is over 90% and the best in the business. Drake is no stranger to success. He was nominated for the NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) College Coffeehouse Entertainer of the Year six years in a row, 1983-88. He was also nominated for NACA Entertainer of the year five years in row, 1984-88. Drake is also a ten-year member of NACA; only 17 associate members are. Drake presently has three albums out. The first is called "Happylanding." This album was recorded on Capitol records, which makes him a rarity because he is a performer who has recorded on a major label and still concentrates on -- and prefers -- the college market. His next two albums, "Roadsongs" and "Solo Survivor," were both released on his own record label, Catskill Mountain Records. Aside from the many solo shows he has done over his long career, Drake has appeared in concert wi th s?me of _th e best. - Some of these mclude Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Living:;ton Taylor (remember him?), Emmylou Harris (Emmylou performs one of Drake's songs), David Bromberg, Michael Johnson, and Loudon Wainright III (some of you may remember Wainright from his few appearances on M*A*S*H as Capt. Spaulding, the singing officer who sang such memorable tunes as "Oh Tokyo" and "Big Mac."). These are just some of the folks he's performed with in 35 states and Europe for 16 years. Here is what some fellow students had to say about Drake and his performances. "Highly recommendable is an understatement . . . Fabulously magnificent is more like it!" said Margaret Wolfensberger of the University of Richmond. "No matter which way Barry Drake chooses to perform his songs, they all result in excellence!" said Julie Onderak, Entertainment Editor, The Stoutonia University of Wisconsin / Stout. And finally, Jackie Benton, a staff writer of The Ranger, San Antonio College said, "Drake said that he wants to keep playing his music forever . . . For those who appreciate guitar playing, sensitive lyrics and outstanding vocals, forever might not be long enough!"

The '' Golden Barbie Award by Bill Barber Here we are in the middle of April and snowflakes are falling outside my dining room window. What can I tell you? No wonder everyone keeps threatening to move to Florida. The semester is fast drawing to a close, and once again finals are coming, if I may use that "f' word in this column. Papers to write, facts to be memorized and spit back, and for the select few lucky ones, caps and gowns to be ordered (right, Lisa?). What a wonderful time. I would like to take this opportunity to proclaim April National Ulcer Month. It keeps occurring to me that getting a college education is like trying to fight a bunch of brush fires. The minute you put one out, another pops up. Is it any wonder that "core" rhymes with "bore"? Quentin Crisp, that doyen of sophistication, has said that the only thing he got from his education is an ability to tolerate injustice.

On Thursday, April 14, the Programming Board held their first "Day of Programming" to recruit new members. The exhibit, part of a public relations campaign headed by Kim Evans, . (Programming Board publicity chairperson), Leigh Sottile, and Fran Matso, consisted of several video screen presentations as well as several tape decks. Here, students were ·afforded the chance to voice their opinions about possibilities for next semester. During the exhibit, all av- . enues of programming were on full display for the students. The Board exhibited some of its large collection of tapes, literature, posters and other paraphernalia. In addition, they distributed pens and keychains with the Programming Board logo on them in an effort to make the Board's image recognizable on campus. One main objective of the exhibit was to get student input for next year's acts. A movie list allowed students to choose, firsthand, the movies that might appear next year. (The results of that poll appear below.) Opportunities were given to respond to any one of the approximately fifty music cassettes available. Perhaps the most important aspect of the exhibit was the effort by the Board to recruit new members. The day yielded sixteen new members, with an interest in all five areas of Programming: Film, Publicity, MiniConcert, Solo-Concert, and Novelty. These members will be im portant in the future of the Programming · Board, as three committee chairpeople will be . . .. .. ... graduating this year.

From the second half kickoff to the final whistle, WilkesBarre was in control. With some good passing and strong scrum play, the Breakers kept ESU off the scoreboard for the rest of the day. Minutes after the start of the second half, Wilkes-Barre's Nick Matiolli took the ball down to the left sideline for about 50 meters and then shuffled it off to Martin O'Connor for the score. The conversion kick was no good and ESU still led by 10-8. After •mixing tough defenses with key ball handling the Breakers were ready for another score. Andy Harris jumped on a loose ESU ball near their own Last Saturday, in weather which made it seem like January, the Wilkes-Barre Breakers traveled to East Stroudsburg to play rugby. The Breakers brought home their first victory of the season with a score of 18-10. East Stroudsburg jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead early in ,he game when they capitalized on two Breaker miscues. The Breakers finally settled down near the end of the first half and Wilkes' own Steve Bardsley picked up a loose ball and rambled about ten meters into the try zone for the score.

Going into last Saturdaay's double-header with Elizabethtown the Wilkes baseball team felt the time was right to knock-off the perenial MAC power. Why not, the Colonels had their ace, Tom Salzberg on the mound, and they were riding the momentum of winning five out of their last six games. The first game was a pitchers dual between Elizabethtown's Matt Aylard and Salzberg. Both pit chers were brilliant, but it was Aylard who made the tough pitches when it counted as Elizabethtown won the first game 3-1. The Colonels didn't have much luck in game one, in the top of the first Elizabethtowns' Mike Gore was apparently out on a foul pop, but the ball was dropped and Gore was given new life. He took advantage of the second opportunity given him at the plate, he sent a Salzberg pitch over the right-field fence giving Elizabethtown a 1-0 lead Wilkes came back to tie the game at one, as Nelson Cantor, who had two of the Colonels four hits in the first game, was balked home by Aylard. The sixth inning was a nightmare for the Colonel's. Mark Clark started the inning with a lazy pop fly to right that was misjudged by Cantor and Clark ended up on second base. Clark scored on a sacrifice fly away Y au stui l d som stud/ " John Kepics awaits the throw at first base. when pinch-hitter Brad Hassington hit a rocket to deep center field, but thanks to an outstanding catch by centerfielder Ken Chakon, Clark was kept off the bases.

The work i more demanding than in high school and teachers don't always "give students a break" because many professors have other jobs in addition to teaching at Wilkes. Here are some helpful hints for students on studying from the Health Services Office: Where should you begin? "Take a breath!," said Mark Sowcik, college counselor. Although everyone would like to have easy solutions, this is one case where you just have to study, he said. One way to start tackling all the work is to make a list of all the work you have to accomplish (for the next one or two days). Writing everything down may seem silly, but after viewing your hardest? What work must your list, you may wish you had be done particularly well? What been doing this throughout your work is most important to you? whole semester. Sowcik said to "get yourself into Rank each item in terms of a position where you are doing importance. What subjects are primarily review." The most im- portanl work should be scheduled at a time when you are most likely to be alen and can put the most energy into your work. Each student has a particular method of study that best suits his/her particular needs. Some people find it easier to study in groups while others prefer studying alone. Try to con- Continued on p.5 CORE model examined by Kim Klimek How satisfied are you with the present core curriculum? Colleges and universities nationwide have been evaluating their curricula based on students' needs. According to Dr. Bing Wong, chairman of the Core Review Commi ttee, the current core lacks structure. He said that students in certain majors can graduate without exposure to history or english classes. These ,are two subjects considered to be a central part of a liberal arts education. The new curriculum would be bene ficial in providing a liberal arts education, enabling students to keep pace with the modem world, said Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs . Wong said, "Many freshmen view the core as one thing to get out of. We would like to change this attitude." The new core will give students more of an op- , portunity to choose courses that interest them. It would be implimented in the Fall of 1989 if accepted. Tl.le new core would be more compact and would consist of a total of 44 credits -- seven credits less than the present core. According lO Wong, this would give students a chance for more electives. The new core will give students a chance to be more active learners, as well as give faculty a new set of strategies for teaching. It should preserve the same general mixture of classes. said Wong. Most differences would lie in the teaching methodology and breakdown of sequences. The four sections featured in the new core would be: Basic Skills, Core Seminars, Distribution Requirements and Physical Development. Basic Skills Require- ments will include: l) Writing Requirements -- Eng 101-102 and upperclass writing proficiency based on writing-intensive courses as defined by a Commiuee, 2) Mathematics Skills -- One course required unless math SAT score is above 475 (compared to a score of 450 presently required) or if one's score on local placement Continued on p. 4 Inside this issue: Letters p-2.,3 Major Barbara p.6 Steeber--hot stuff! p. JO- Spons wrap-up p.11 �May 5, 1988 PAGE1WO Editorial Letters to the Editor Interaction vital Dear Editor: I read your editorial last week and thought it a bit strong. I want the readers to know, for whatever it's worth, that administrative intervention goes beyond the reaches of the Manuscript. While trying to obtain statistical information for a Beacon article, I was thoroughly stonewalled by members of the Administration for what I assume to be political I'm sure that many are expecting a whining defense of my editorial of last week, some smart answers to the accusations thrown at me. Many will be disappointed. I will accept responsibility for any blame that people would like to assign, but I do. however, firmly mainla!n my position. · What should concern the Wilkes community is not the "name-calling" that supposedly occurred, but the many issues that remain undiscussed, and the many problems that remain unsolved. My only concern when writing any of my editorials was the academic health of WIikes College (not the status of the school). If I failed in that respect in the eyes of some, fine. But I did learn something from this experience: censure helps nothing. Criticism can only be effective if it is constructive, not destructive. But there has to be criticism. The number of letters I received after last week's issue indicated that there are people out there who ·vere displ~ with the way The Beacon has been run. Perhaps if more people stepped forward earlier to contribute to The Beacon, if more people had expressed their displeasure earlier, the criticism could have been weighed and dealt with. At least the displeasure would have been expressed. Instead, for the final issue, The Beacon received some letters that condemned us for everything written this semester. I welcome the criticism, but only ask why it took so long to surface~ When there are a handful of dedicated people working to put out a weekly publication, there are bound to be problems; there are bound to be clashes of opinion between that group of students and the overall community at Wilkes. This clash of opinion, though, could be constructive, even remedied, if there were only more interaction between The Beacon, the students, and the faculty. Student participation is another vital factor. Although the interaction and participation that took place in the past two issues were certainly not ideal, it was interaction. It is a start. If The Beacon received ten letters to the editor every week, if students submitted articles on a regular basis, if faculty members were willing to step forward and offer suggestions when they believe they see a problem, not only would The Beacon be a better publication, but it would be a more effective tool for communication for the Wilkes Community. The Beacon's purpose is not propaganda. Neither should it be a forum for fierce invective. It should, however, point out problems and offer solutions. Perhaps the view expressed in the editorials is different from the views of others on campus. If you disagree with anything an editor writes, if you see something in the paper that displeases you, you owe it to yourself and to The Beacon to step forward. I can only hope that the interaction that has begun, however weakly, with this issue can continue to grow with future staffs. I extend one final piece of editorial advice: if you have an opinion, express it. You may not be able to change the world with the expression of your ideal, but at least you can believe that you tried. reaso~. reexamined and · academic comm think that your tr matter was the be opening a ratio regarding these iss that Andy. whose often admired (Hi an Afternoon Lon year's Manuscript is return to often.), had question the process judgement that. resul poem's not being pub I assume failing to advise mo consistently during and quality. I believe she was doing just that I also believe that Dr. Heaman has played a vital role in keeping the Manuscript an active campus publication. Furthermore, without her efforts, the Manuscript would have ceased to exist several years ago. Instead of being criticized in a confrontational manner, Dr. Patricia Heaman should be applauded for advising the student editors on a first rate Manuscript publication. Dr. P. Heaman, please process so that accept my apology. My concern not have been mad regarding a wrong to Mr. Morrell constraints that certainly does not justify the full discussion. don't accept h" wrong done to you. Regardless of the fact that I didn't get the information needed to write the article, the students must look beyond my situation and that of Mr. Morrell's to the root of the problem which is the lack of power vested in the Dr. R.L. Maxwell students.

At first, I was me,ely that your editorial alerted ~ the awful menace posed by evil and malicioils Dr. · · Heaman. She has, as we know, busied herself for twenty years at Wilkes e stamping out student 'vity whenever it, like the ndron you deplore, might n to bloom. You have a great service to all of us !X)inting out Dr. Heaman's 'ght Stalinesque ability to a repressive atmosphere in students live in constant of low grades if they fail meet her tyrannical ip demands. In addition, your wise · to run the student letter peUt1on next t~ your · 1made it appear as if the es on the petition d not only the letter, but editorial position. Thus, you did not squander precious time and resources proving anything to anybody; such creative planning provides a model that other journalists would do well to emulate. After throwing my hat into the air in celebration of these journalistic accomplishments (only to have it get caught on top of your beloved bell tower), I began to understand that your· recent editorial was really so much more the crowning achievement of a year of The Beacon in which you and your staff have redefined student journalism in a way I never imagined possible. You have helped me understand what is wrong with such professional newspapers as The New York Times and The Washington Post and with such student newspapers as The Harvard Crimson and The Colwnbia Spectator. These publications, for some foolish reason I used to consider important, actually run objective news stories that begin with leads and continue with verifiable facts and direct quotations. The Beacon, however, prints a potpourri on the editorial page, thus cleverly demonstrating that the distinction between fact and opm1on is, for the truly educated at any rate, just an illusion. I have throughout my years at Wilkes encouraged students to empower themselves by learning enough to ask penetrating questions and to approach difficult issues from a variety of perspectives. How silly I have been! Now I see that issues such as censorship, whether real or perceived, are not really worth examining in depth; furthermore, I applaud your apparent decision not to investigate this particular topic as consistent with your treatment this year of such other insignificant issues as university status, faculty rights, · core curriculum rev1S1on, and the sports and conference center. It all makes sense now, and I thank you, dear editor. After all, an issue's reach should not exceed The Beacon's grasp, or what's a newspaper for? · Michael C. ONeill Dear Editor: , Last . week's . editorial Censorship must stop!" would l ppear to be the culmination of :me of the saddest years for The Beacon that I have witnessed in th~ four years I've attended Wilkes College. Your newspaper, which is characterized by sloppy journalism, poor writing and overall carelessness, has at l~st stOOJ?C~ to ....-.~.. calling and .mger pomtmg. Using Dr. Heaman as a scapegoat fo~ your issue was a poorly c_once1ved decision. You ha:e misused your position as _editor and apparently pushed May 5, 1988 objectivity aside. If you, Ms. Steinbacher, had carefully considered the facts, you would have realized that the · final decision to remove the poem did not reside with Dr. Heaman, but with the staff of the Manuscript. In no way could one deem Dr. Heaman's suggestion as an act of censorship. Therefore, your statement, "The staff of the magazine had bee1t told, in effect, that their judgement was faulty" is blatantly incorrect, for the judgement was theirs. You go on to state, "Who has the right just by the virtue of a doctorate degree and a little bit of power to question any student's judgement of taste?" Well _Ms. Steinbacher, you possess less power than an instructor, have no degree, and as far as I know, no textbook journalism experience. What gives you the right to question anyone? You have obviously been appointed to a position for which you have no qualifications. A position that allows you to voice your uneducated, inexperienced opinion and to allocate blame to anyone you choose. As you challenge Dr. Heaman in the editorial I challenge you -- to journaiistic excellence, something that I doubt you or you or your staff could ever deliver. James C. Evelock Dear Editor: Just when I thought the Beacon had hit an all-time low, it got lower. Last weeks's editorial on censorship simply highlighted the journalistic incompetence and ignorance of the paper's editorial staff. The fact that the editorial resorted to a level of name-calling and finger pointing was an embarrassment and a disgrace. Miss Steinbacher, I found it very unprofessional that Dr. Patricia Heaman was ripped apart and pulled through the wringer without any opportunity to explain or defend herself. I hope you learn that if you plan to run a controversial editorial in your paper, you also print an objective article explaining the situ:.tion so readers can form • their own opinions and not be forced to inherit yours. My sympathy lies with Dr. Heaman and all those who worked very ' hard to make this year's Manuscript, in my opinion, one of the best issues this college has ever seen. It is a shame that now people will view the publication as "the issue that censored work" instead of "the issue that shows a display of collaborated creative effort."

There were many people that I knew standing about the room; people from the different clubs and organizations I had been in, classmates from years gone by, Fudgie Lhe Whale and his icecream cake pals, Ratty the Commuter, and even some of my professors including Dave Rash, my Stats instructor who, I would have guessed, would be the last person who would ever want to see me again. There were also some people who I didn't know. There were representatives from the World Wrestling Federation and HannaBarbera who had come to thank me for Lhe free publicity. There was also a man from the Mall Merchants Association who presented an honorary key to the Food Court. I was rather touched, it was all quite nice. What a great four years it had been. I stood around by myself for a time while the guests helped themselves to cold cuts and cheese. I then decided that I should mix and converse with these people who had taken the time to come and wish me farewell. I noticed in one comer a group of people from the Beacon. "Hey Don," they said,"it was sure nice having you aboard!" "Thanks for the opportunity," I replied. "Hey, do you guys remember Lhat article on The Inferno?'" I asked. "Well, em, not really, ummm, I think so, but sorry, all the back issues have been Lhrown away. But it was sure nice to talk to you before you left." "Oh well, same here," I said. I noticed in another comer some members of the Wilkes Theater group. "Hey Don," they said, "it was sure nice having you aboard!" "Thanks, I really had great fun in those shows!" I replied. "Hey, remember when we had to dress in those outlandish costumes and do those goofy dances?" I chuckled. "Well, er, not really, umm, I think so, but sorry, all of the old programs have been Lhrown away. But it was sure nice to talk to you before you left!" "Oh, well, yeah same here," I answered.

Movies weren't the only form of entertainment that the people flocked to see. There were six different concerts during the year. First, on January 23, came the "footstompin"' music of Jay Smar. January 29 was a da that will go down in history as possibly the day of one of the best concens ever played at ilkes. This was the day Livingston Taylor came to town. He played for two hours to a packed CPA. On February 23 Wilkes got to witness one of the funniest duos around. The Pheromones cracked up a Stark Lobby crowd with goofy tunes like their hit "Yuppie Drone." On March 12 the Board attempted a gym dance without a gym.

With all the bru-ha-ha over censorship afoot, one feels the need to take sides, make comments, nail down one's position. Although I firmly agree that censorship is wrong, so are yellow journalism, name-calling and personal attacks. Last week's editorial came so close to all of the above that I was reminded of The Prime of Miss Jean Brody. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth. So I've decided not to take a stand at all. Instead, I'm going to do a little bit of all of the above this week. On the brighter side, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Patricia Heaman on the many years of service to Wilkes College: teaching, running the writing lab, and overseeing the literary magazine which might not be produced but for her long years of dedication to it The question still exists between censorship and editorial supervision. To jump on the one without giving credit to the other is unfair and sophomoric. The suggestion to remove the poem in question may have been made for reasons other than those prescntl y being discussed. But like I said, I'm staying out of this one entirely. Not one more word about it. Now Major Barbara, in spite of having so much going for it, was, alas, a major bore. The reason: no editing. Veronica and l went expecting some light yet fulfilling entertainment for a Sunday afternoon, after which a nice dinner and some sherry would round out a perfect day. That was not to be. I set the frozen roast on the counter at 1:30 and we trotted off to the CPA. By the time we got home the meat had thawed and rotted. That George Bernard Shaw was a geniusy and that his words must be respected, I can uderstand. But to strap a college audience into its seats for three hours of British tedium was tantamount to murder: One came away wishing one had not gone at all. In an accent play, which "Drawing Room Comedy" is supposed to be, why is it that every member of the family seemed to have come from a different part of the world? Yet there is so much good to say about the play. The sets were very professional. The munitions factory, complete with pipes and barrels was wonderful. Carl Ruling, Bob Wachowski and everyone who worked on those 3s~!1P,k.~~2! Barbara Like some kindly Dr. Roy Morgan, I'd like to write just a happy, glowing little gem of a review, but I would be neglecting the overwhelming feeling of despair over the unending length of the play which so distracted from its other merits (like this sentence!). But that would be selfcensorship. As I said, I don't even want to touch censorship this week. I'm editing it out Instead, I'd like to concentrate on what I did like about the play. The delightful portrayal of Lady Britomart by Maureen O'Hara was so consistently in character that one wants only to applaud. Chris Brunnock was delightful as Mrs. Mutchens, as were Laura Herman as Barbara, David Shock as Viewpoint as Charlie Lomax (Don't ya know.) and Maura Mundy as the zany Sarah. Chris Collins was very strong as Andrew Undershaft and Thomas McGeehan turned a small part into the perfect butler. Even Rob, Johanson, that irrepressible ham, did a wonderful job of building from light comedy to heavy dramatics. He showed all his usual skill and then some, including that knack he has for physical comedy, i.e. the drum and bully schtick with Scott Zolner which was handled exactly in his signature. But a director must know the standard rule of theater: to entertain. . Four long, unrelenting acts of drawingroom social commentary from 1905 is just a bit too much to ask of any audience, even of an "old fogey" like me. To have tightened it up and cut at least forty-five minutes would have been an ~ct of knowing generosity. Frankly, I got so exhausted by intermission, I tried to buy some M&M's to throw at Don Semyon, but wisely he was hiding in the box office. As John Simon has said, he will allow a play to be anything bl:lt boring. Granted Shaw is inevitably long. But I mean, really! The two guys sitting in front of us left at intermission because they actually thought -- or hoped the play was over. Poor Veronica turned to me during Act III and said ''I'm so hungry I could eat my program!" By Act IV she actually began to chew on it If some of the Shaw had been "censored", the talent of the actors miglt been able to shine through. choice that "the audiea:e won't sit through this" had accompanied by censoring mean editing -- perhaps V, wouldn't have ended up wi poisoning last Sunday. But fm not going ID involved in censorship. Ck iting either. If I did, I'd censor everything I've against the play because ii nice, and I'm supposed to be to everybody. I think. that censorship?

At 7, the Kamikazi cleaning lady making bombing runs against my door with her vacuum cleaner woke me again. From down the hall, a clock radio blared. Someone tuned in a morning news show on their tv. Like it or not, I was awake and likely to remain that way. After a Juke-warm shower and my usual nutritious breakfast of Coke and peanut M&M's, I decided to go for a walk. I ended up on the Market Street bridge, watching all the people heading for work. I remembered a time, not too long ago, when I, too, used to go to work. I had security. health insurance, and money in the bank. Then I recalled all the times my boss "volunteered" me for holiday overtime on Christmas and the 4th of July. I remembered the day my company Look away our yearly raises and health insurance in order to save l)lemsclvcs some money. Then I shivered, although it was a warm, sunny day, and searched my mind for cheerier thoughts. I peered down into the depths of the murky Susquehanna, and, like the river below me, I let my thoughts drift.

For ten weeks this summer that is exactly what Steeber will be doing, as he plays for the Washington Generals on their European Tour. The Generals are the team that travels with the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. In essence Steeber will be traveling with the Globetrotters since both teams share the same plane and hotel accommodations. "I remember watching the Globetrotters play on tv when I was younger, but I've never seen them in person," Steeber said. "I'm definitely looking forward to this." He also said that there is a possibility that one of the games will be televised on ABC. This all came about when Al Clocker, the head coach at College Misericordia and scout for the Generals, contacted Wilkes basketball coach, Ron Rainey. "Coach Rainey asked me if I was interested and gave me the application," said Steeber. "I filled out the application. I never thought it would happen. I'm an average basketball player; I thought there was no way I would get picked. I didn't have to try out. I was surprised after they made the choice; it was up to me. I really never expected to hear from them again." After only one , meeting with Washington Generals' Coach Red Klotz in New Jersey, Colonels Continued from p. 11 Opeka have joined to form the number one doubles team. They have lost only one match so far this season. The only senior on the team is Nagwa Taylor. Opeka, Amy Shukis, Carolyn Hazlehurst, Coleen Brady, Stacey Synecko, Michelle Bannon, Dawn Meyers, and Jen Marcheski, as well as Creegan, will be returning next year. So watch out for another successful season from them. Basball by Bill Kem The Colonel baseball team came under new leadership this year with Jerry Bavitz taking over the reins. Savi~ inherited a relatively young team. The team had a good year even though the Colonels record stands at 10-14 going into Tuesday's game against King's College. The Colonels have given 110% effort where he lives, Steeber was selected to participate in the tenweek European tour. "They called me Monday [April 17) and I had to let them know that day so I could get my passport and the paperwork for the Visas could be done," Steeber said. The ten-week tour will include ten countries, starting in Spain and ending in Moscow, USSR. It is the first time since the 1950s that the Globetrotters have played in the Soviet lJ_nion. were totally for it h::t their main concern was my education," Steeber stated. "If I didn't do this now I would probably never have a chance to go to Europe again. Another big thing about all this is getting paid for something I like to do." When the basketball team held senior day on February 20, Steeber thought he had played his last basketball game except for an occasional pick-up game or summer league competitions. Right now Steeber is not sure exactly what position he will be playing for the Generals. As a Colonel he played power forward. "I'm going to do whatever they want me to," he said, 'Tm just looking forward •to being on the team, but most likely I'll play power forward. I know I'm not going to be able to do some of the things I did here. I have to realize my limitations." Steeber then went on to add that "a lot of people think [the Generals] don't play hard, but they do play hard. They do play to win." I really expected to never from them hear stated again," Steeber. II Basketball star Jeff Steeber Approximately 60 games will be "As of now it's a permanent job if I want it. If I do alright, and played and some weekends they he wants me t,o play in the next will play four games with a tour, I will," Steeber said.

The Lady Colonels, under Coach Dave freshman come out and do very In Steeber's lour year basketball career as a Colonel he added his name to the Wilkes annals by becoming the 13th person in the College's history to score 1000 points. This is a feat he also accomplished at Northwest Area High School, where he was also the 13th 1000point scorer. This season he scored 428 points, averaging 18.6 per game, and led the team in rebounds pulling down 9 .3 per game. He ended his career with a total of 1222 points. ,,Steeber wil not be the only player from the area making the trip with the Globetrotters. George Aldrich, a former player well.

The team consisted of Rome, Mokay, Robert McDonnell, Chris Gerber, Andrew Harris, Scott Brady, Keith Kopec, John Pirich, Rob Cella, John Serafin, Ed Steve, Jack Harrity, Colin Mondero, and Steve Kaminsky. Men's Tennis The men's tennis team played the University of Scranton today. "It was the first match we had a solid chance of winning. We played pretty well," said Coach Phil Wingert. Several players won their first singles matches of the season. Number one singles player Chris Arabis picked up his first win in 1988 7-5 and 63.

There many rookie players who in end made many contributions to the team's play. Kelley Cota was chosen as offensive player of the year. W ithout Cota there would be no women's soccer team. The team's defensive player of the year was Mary Jo Zukoski, who consistently upheld a shaky defense. To.e team is looking for a faster start next season and to develop a team contingent for MAC playoffs in the next few years. female harrier on the squad had a good season as she broke the Kirby Park course record. However, this was her fu st season on the team , and she will be graduating this May Other seniors who will be missed next year are Tom Urso and Pete Huber. Urso was the only four year member on the team. Coming back next season are Doug Lane, Tom DeVine, Johri Kline and Paul Miorelli. Volleyball Field Hockey by Kathy Harris by Lisa Miller Although their record was 823, Coach Doris · Saracino and the Wilkes College volleyball team have a lot to proud of, and the future looks bright for the Lady Colonels. Many outstanding performances were given by Lisa Kravitz, Debbie Miller, Linda Straface, and graduating senior co-captains Mary Theresa Ayres and Carolyn Ciccarone. The Lady Colonels are losing only two members of the team to graduation, and the prospects for a good team next year are excellent. Starters who are most likely to be- returning include Kravitz, Miller, Straface, Lora Rinehimer, Lynda Pluschau, Dorothy Jablonsky, Jen Catania, and Stacey Kem. Congratulatioos to Coach Saracino and the team on a job well done , and good luck next season. Also, congratulations to Carolyn and Theresa, and good luck in the future. Men's Soccer by Andy Renner The Wilkes soccer team opened the 1?87 campaign with a handful of upperclassmen; Matt Ryan, Gerard Piazza, John Purcell and Paul Tavaglione. The team was young had a lot of Under the direction of Coach Gay Meyers, this year's field hockey team played hard. Everyone on the team contributed in some way to the Lady Colonel's effort At last Sunday's Letterwomen's banquet Kelley Wandel was awarded the Offensive MVP of the Year award. Joyce Dait received Defensive MVP honors. Debbie DeCeasare and Dail were also named to the MAC team for their efforts. The team also had an Academic AllAmerican in Sue Dicton. Debbie Marquart was also honored for her contribution for the past four years to the team. The team loses seven players to graduation: Ki m Cooper, Marquart, Dait, DeCeasare, Dicton , Donna Vasquez and Jane Zeller. Men's Basketball by Ray Ott The 1987-88 men's basketball team suffered through a difficult campaign finishing 6-10 in the Middle Atlantic Con- ference's Northeast division and overall. Coach Ron Rainey's team had a 64 record in home games but had their problems on the road finishing 3- 9-14 enthusiasm. 11. The team played well enough to win more_ games than what the 9-7-3 record shows. Many games were decided by just one goal. Now that the freshman have some experience in NCAA play the team should be promising in the future. Next year the team will look for leadership from Sean Loclchead. Andy R~ner and Chris Nebel. The teaQl was led by 'senior captains Jeff Steeber, Scott Jacoby and sophomore Jim Nolan. Steeber, a second team MAC performer, led the team in rebounding with a 9.3 average and steals with 45. He also scored 18.6 points a game. Jacoby's contrjbutioos can be best measured by his on-court leadership and experience. His Cross-country The cross-country team acquired a new coach for the 1987 season in Tom McGuire . This year's team was a young squad with potential for next season. Linda Siberini the only work ethic and determination were steadying influences on the underclassmen. In Nolan the Colonels had one of the most feared offensive players in the conference. He led the team in scoring, pouring in 22.9 points a game and shot 78.4 percent from the free throw line. One of the biggest highlights for the team was playing Lehigh University, a division one school who made the NCAA tournament and was led by two possible NBA draft picks in Darren Queenan and Mike Poloha. Another big moment for the Colonels was the team's January 27 73-65 victory over cross-town rival, King's College. Memorable individual performances included Steeber scoring his 1000th point and Nolan going over 500 points for the season. Next year's team returns eight of this ten players. The front court will be shored up by the team's new captain, Ken Chakon, and center Lou Freeman. The back court will be directed by Nolan and Dave Argentati, who led the squad in three-point field goals this past season. Freshman Steve Tate, Bruce Lambert. Rob Cella, and Ray Ott will be counted on to contribute if the hoopsters are to be successful in the 1988-89 campaign. Despite losing two irreplaceable players in Steeber and Jacoby, Rainey and assistant Coach Dave Martin will try to build upon the returning nucleus with a good crop of recruits to make Wilkes' new gym the place to see winning basketball next year. Wrestling by Bill Kem A strong team unity paved the way to a 21-1 record and a National ranking in 1987-88. The highlights of this past season were the victories over Lehigh and Army. The victory over Lehigh was the fust in ten years for the Colonels. The Army match also held importance because the victory vaulted Wilkes into the top 20 ranking poll. There were two wrestlers who made the 1987-88 season even more exc1ung: Dennis Mejias and Craig Rome. Both seniors will be missed greatly • next year. Their accomplishments speak for themselves. Mejias is the ooly wrestler in Wilkes history to be a four-time Eastern place winner. He is also the only Wilkes wrestler to make three appearances at Nationals. Mejias tied the record for dual meet pins with 21 and will probably go down as one of the most exciting wrestlers in Wilkes history. Rome was a two-time Eastern champ and · two time National qualifier. He was a mainstay for the past four years, holding the record for most dual meet wins (70), most dual matches (76), and he has won over 100 matches at Wilkes. He finished in the top five of alltime winners at Wilkes. This year was also historical as Coach John Reese became only the fourth coach to reach the 400 victory made. Next year should be another exciting year for Colcnel fans with four retuming Eastern place winners: Ron Miller, Steve Schannauer, Frank Goldowski, and Mike Schroai.. The winning ways for Wilkes wrestling should continue next season. Women' Basketball by Lisa Miller The 1987-88 women's basketball team was comprised of mainly freshmen. Coach Jodi Kest had only two returning players in her co-captains Melissa Kennedy and Diana Smith. The freshmen that came out this year showed a lot of potential for success. Newcomer Angie Miller showed a lot of promise in her play this past season. At the annual Letterwomen's award banquet Miller received the Offensi ve Player of the Year award. Nicole Kovaleski started off slow but came on strong in the middle half. She was sidelined in the end because of tom ligaments in her ankle. Kelly Ruff, Lisa Burak, Amy Melusky, Michelle Toth, JoAnne McDonald, and Janene Kasarda all made significant contributions to the team. Junior Kennedy's outstanding play once again led the team in several categories, but it was her defense that helped the team the most. She was named Defensive MVP for the season. Kennedy will be next year's captain. With ooe season under their belts as a team look for the Lady Colonels to sparkle next season. Women's Tennis by Lisa Miller Under the guidance of Coach Jodi Kest this year's women's tennis team improved immensly. For the first time . in several years the team came out Oil the winning side. The team was led by number one singles player Chris Creegan. Each match Creegan goes out and . plays the other team's number one player and is very successful. As of this point Creegan is undefeated.

Mike Kolbicka launched a ball over the right the plate and knocked the ball over the right-center field fence.

Ostroski proposed the present system based on its success at King's.

The present system is similar to the one described, but with a large amount of confusion thrown in. Employees were not able to unpack boxes at the new location until August 14, just seventeen days before the first day of classes. Not only were there boxes containing equipment and inventory to be unpacked, but approximately 600 boxes of books for the fall semester. Most of the setup took almost until the very day that classes were to begin, and unpacking was still being done as of this past Saturday. The books not only had to be unpacked, but they had to be shelved and labeled with numbers and prices. Ms. Ostroski herself had to do some of this preparation at home to ensure its completion in time for classes. These shelf numbers were transferred to class rosters that students can look through. One student employee felt that the system is "working out okay, but it's a lot of work." Other students proposed crowd control solutions for those waiting for books at the beginning of the semester, such as alphabetical arrangements to purchase books at certain times (as is done for registration) or according to class, for example, seniors first, then juniors and so on. Ms. Ostroski feels that the system should work for Wilkes College as it already docs for King's College. This has not been evident so far this semester. She expressed her belief that had there been more time for preparation, the bookstore would have run more smoothly. She said, "We did what we had to [do] to get the semester started." Changes made campus-wide by Barbara Jamelli News Editor Wilkes College was on the move this summer! As you have noticed, many departments and offices relocated over the summer break. These moves have occurred in two sets: the repositioning of academic departments, and the facilitation of new dormitory space. The first in a series of academic department relocations occurred when the School of Business moved to Wilkes' newest addition, Fortinsky Hall, 229 S. Franklin St., from its location in Bedford Hall. This ·portion of the moves was done in part to provide a private office for each faculty member of the School, which was not possible in Bedford Hall. The offices in Fortinsky Hall will also accommodate the expansion of the School of Business, as Wilkes is seeking to hire five more instructors for the 1988-89 school year. The Department of Art now occupies the former location of the School of Business in Bedford Hall, 96 Changes See page 3 �PAGE1WO September 8, 1988 Editorial New bookstore, old system Let me take the opportunity of this opening issue of The Beacon to congratulate the new staff on assuming leadership position in the communication and interpretation of issues and events to the Wi Community.

This most significant appreciation is due as well to the bookstore staff. Given the enormous strain on our resources this summer, change turned out to be both the best and the worst change was only with great effort that we were able to put the bookstore in operating condition, given the time ands made. I am speaking of course about the change in locale and limitations we faced. system of the bookstore. The location change was long overdue. In fact, I can Progress, however, is not painless, as we have learned once again. The stress of implementing our remember a "Letter to the Editor" from 1986 by a student that suggested such a move.

Activity ·period shortened by Barbara Jamelli News Editor Wilkes College has adopted a standardized academic week schedule. The result of this is that the activity period on Tuesdays · and Thursdays has been shortened by one half-hour. Dr. Waldner, vice-president for academic affairs, gave his assurances that shortening the activity period, once 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. but now only until 12:30 p.m., was not the specific intention of the administration. Instead, the desire was to eliminate conflicts in the students' schedules. On the old schedule, some Tuesday/Thursday classes ran from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. while others were held from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. This created a conflict for a student who needed or wanted to take one class that ended at 9:45 and another beginning at 9:30 a.m. The new schedule eliminates such conflicts but necessitates the shortening of the activity period.

Downtown Wilkes-Barre Changes Continued from page 1 Anzalone Continued from page 8 W. South St. The new Art Department facilities will have better natural lighting (the porch is part of studio) and will enhance the identification of the department, according to Dr. George Waldner, vice president for academic affairs. Some art classes will still be held in Stark Leaming Center. The Department of Philosophy, which shared a secretary and office area with the Art Department , will continue to do so in Bedford Hall. The third component of the department relocations has brought the Education Department and the Regional Computer Resource Center (RCRC) from the southern section of the building to the main floor area of Stark Leaming Center, former home of the Art and Philosophy Departments. Once again, the new location provides each faculty member with a private office. The Macintosh, IBM, and Apple Ile/GS labs have each been given more space in their new rooms. As the College identifies more space, it hopes in the future to provide more microcomputing facilities. Fourth, the rooms vacated by the Education Depari.ment and RCRC are now part of the Engineering Department. One of the rooms will be devoted to a new environmental quality center and will house the newly acquired GC Mass Spectrometer. Additional space will be · used for faculty offices.

"Anzalone with his guitar, his fine, operatically trained voice, his wonderful oddball humor, and his keen and quick friendship with the audience, is a star on the rise," writes Bernard Hunt in The Tribune Chronicle . "Show business must have room at the top for a guy who can imitate a trombone, sing like Johnny Cash in Japanese, Russian, and Italian, impersonate James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Billy Joel and Leon Redbone, and sing 'Pinball Wizard' from the rock opera Tommy as though it really were operatic." Don't miss the antics of Tom Anzalone this Saturday. The fun begins at 8 p.m. and is free to all Wilkes students. Degrees Continued from page 1 need for more ormitory space. This year's freshman class is the largest to enter .the College in eight years and because of this a waiting list for dorm space was generated in early June. To alleviate the problem the administration decided to convert Ross Hall, 251 S. River St., to a women's dorm. The offices located in Ross Hall had to be moved to new locations across campus. The Center' for Regional Development/Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has moved to the first and third floors of Hollenback Hall. (The second floor still houses the offices for the Health Sciences Department and Dean Roselle.) The Cooperative Education office, directed by Ms. Cheryl Gibson, also had a need of a new home. It is now located on the third floor of the Max Roth Center. Mr. Joseph Kanner, director of testing services, can now be found on the second floor of Chase Hall. The shifts in location of the Ross Hall offices have triggered more moves like a line of falling dominoes. Because the SBDC now resides in Hollenback, the Wilkes College Health Service and the Campus Counseling Service needed a new area for operation. The College had to rent office space at 136 S. Franklin St. to accommodate them. Finally, the offices for the Evening, Weekend, and Summer Program and its new director, Mrs. Galli, have moved from Chase Hall to the third floor of Roth Hall. graduated summa cum laude.

An~ - - - - - - - - - - - - swer quickly �Wilkes College September 8, 1988 Wilkes-Barre, PA Vol. XLI 18766 No. I Football '88 Talent and experience pace Colonel by Jim Clark Assistant Sports Editor The progress of the Wilkes football program under the tutelage of seventh-year Head Coach Bill Unsworth has been comparable to the growth of a child. The Co:onels are no longer the 09 infant that Unsworth inherited in 1982. After consecutive 7-3 seasons, adolescence has been attained. Competitive gridiron adulthood is being able to contend for a title consistently. Has Wilkes reached that stage? "We think so," professes Unsworth. "I think proof of that is the fact that we were picked to finish near the -bouom of the barrel in the Middle Atlantic Conferen,;e last year, and we ended U!) playing for the title in tlic-. final game. "We have good players here, and we brought more in with our current freshman class. We just hope to keep doing more of the same." In 1988, . the run-andshoot will again make the Colonels' offense an exciting group to watch and a tough unit for opposing defenses to contain. "It's a very sophisticated, flexible offense that makes the defense play us straight up," said Unsworth. "It's adaptable to many different types of quarterbacks." The quarterback at the controls of the aerial circus this season will be senior Scan Mcagley, who was the starting kicker last year (2325 xp, 4-6 fg, 37 pts). In limited action as a signal caller, Meagley was 5-10 for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Unsworth is happy with Meagley's attributes. "Sean is good on his feet and he runs well," said the coach. "He's a good option quarterback. As far. as throwing, ,he excels at the short. and intermediate routes. He's head and shoulders above anyone else in knowledge of our offense." What about the psychological role that a quarterback must fill? "The best type of leadership is to perform in stressful situations," said Unsworth. "Sean can do that. He's a winner." Sophomore Tom Musto will back up Meagley. Joining Meag]ey in the backfield will be junior running backs Dean Ambosie (145 att., 690 yds., 3 td in 1987) and Courtney McFarlane (79-337-2). Ambosie, the second leading rusher in the Middle Atlantic speedy Stevens to contribute more this season. Senior left guard . Jim · Byrne leads a strong offensive line that also returns junior center Dale Cargin, senior right guard Jim Feldhausen, senior right tackle Bill Kem and junior left tackle Kyle Sheckler. The unit, nicknamed "The Dawgs," draws glowing praise from Unsworth, who said, "They have the potential to be the best offensive line I've ever had at Wilkes." Defensively, opponents will be on the lookout for senior linebacker Joe Daches, season. He and junior Steve Tehansky (50 solo, 27 asst.) bolster the linebacking crew. Up front, Jumor Tim Hopkins (11 solo, 17 asst.) anchors the line. His counterparts will be senior Larry Hubert, junior . Keith Maiorano and · sophomore Rob Sebastianelli. They will be counted on to pressure opposing quarterbacks and stuff the inside run. "Pass defense is our number-one priority," says Unsworth. "If you can't stop the pass, you're in for a long day and a long year." The _ men Unsworth has assigned to Football tri-captains Mark Habeeb, Jim Byrne, and Joe Daches. Conference the past two seasons, has been named a preseason All-American by College Football Preview. The receiving corps is talented and experienced. Seniors Jim Farrell (31 rec., 422 yds., 1 · td) and PJ. Sollazzo (15-193-2), along with juniors Mike Harrison (15-161-4) and Craig Stevens (4-40-0) will be Meagley's main targets. · Look for the a tenacious hiller. Along with Ambosie, he has been named a College Football Preview pre-season All-American. Daches made the conversion from defensive end to linebacker last season with a fury, leading the defense in tackles with 105 (68 solo, 37 asst.) and posting 11.5 sacks. Senior Steve McKaig (98 tackles in 1986) returns to the battlefield after missing a the all-important task of shuuing down opponents' passing schemes are: senior free safety Mark Habeeb, senior strong safety Mike Canterella, and junior comerbacks Van Chiavacci and Tony Grobinski. Habeeb had previously been a comcrback, but Unsworth has his reasons for this season's switch. "Mark's ability intercepting natural will be enhanced at safety," he said. "He most experienced mem our secondary and he1 ordinate things from middle for us." Experience at position is a big factor as Unsworth is concerned. commented, "Our . philosophy is to plaJ many people as we can a ball game. We want to our guys fresh and give valuable game ex So, if someone's not it doesn't mean he's not to play." An area often over by many fans is teams. However, a g more per year is often by a member of these Field goal duties will handled this season freshman Mike Unsworth is undecided w Dungen or Meagley will extra points.

The center offers ITEC courses to teachers in area school districts to assist them in implementing microcomputer use in the classroom. The program trains the teachers in basic computer literacy, programming, and software evaluation. Wilkes College was selected to be a site for a Regional Computer Resource Center beginning with the 1984-85 school year because of the commitment of considerable resources it had already made to microcomputers in education. The original grant, totaling $996,520, was for the purchase of30 Applelle's, 15 Macintoshes,and ten IBM PC's, as well as software and other necessities for classroom instruction. The Wilkes facility is one of fourteen RCRC's throughout the commonwealth and is directed by Dr. Joseph Bellucci, chairman of the Education Department. His responsibilities include formulating the curriculum, and course sequencing. Dr. Barbara Bellucci, project director, is responsible for administration of the grant which includes hiring personnel, marketing and recruitment, and evaluating the program.

A new program to encourage responsible drinking, entitled WIN, has been developed by some Wilkes College students to encourage responsible drinking and to teach students that they can have fun without alcohol playing a part.

Practice saying I am sorry. cheese Different perspective Tristan and Iseult: a soap opera by Bill Barber Beacon Columnist Now for a subject near and dear to all of us: Love. It might be safe to assume that everyone in college these days has some association with it. Certainly anyone who's ever watched a soap opera is fully aware of the convolutions of true love, right? Wrong. You ain't heard nothing yet This year love is even being taught as theme in the English Department. There is erotic love, love of God, Courtly Love, that good old standby unrequietcd love, and even the love that dare not speak its name. In the name of all this love, we have been dragging up the classics and pouring through them for signs of love, from platonic love to Love's Labour Lost to The Art of Loving. Be sure that before you graduate from these hallowed halls, and soon it will be, you too will have . your own little noses rubbed in love. Trust me. I know these things. But to take some of the sting away, I've done my research. I've died for our sins. I've spent six days reading Tristan and Iseult. In one large Macademian nutshell, let me saveall of you the future trouble. Once there was a young prince born in sadness in a far away land. His father dies in battle, his mother gives up the ghost the day he's born and he's raised by another prince, becomes a great huntsman, gets brought accidentally back to his own uncle, King Mark, who doesn't at first recognize him, of course. This is part and parcel of all these myths. Next he is sent to Ireland to slay Morholt the Giant. Much swordwork follows. Morholt is slain but Tristan is wounded. Bermuda Continued from page 5 ·-.

Every good thing that I have heard about your group was true...and more. Never have I seen such audience participation from our students! Students are still walking around with their ·kazoos," writes Debbie Guffy, assistant dean of students at Wesleyan College. "The Bermuda Triangle Band is one of the most talented groups around. No matter what your musical preference is," states Entertainment New York. Now emer lseult. Iscult is Morholt's niece, and she is the fairest of the fair. But she hates Tristan for killing her uncle. However, she cures Tristan's wound, passes up several chances to kill him, and ends up, after more strife than you'd care to hear about, being brought back as a gift for King Mark! There's some stuff about a dragon, a poison tongue, a Red Head and a lot of trifles but the important thing to remember here is that Iseult's mother makes an elixer that will guarantee that . her daughter, upon drinking this with her new husband King Mark, will fall hopelessly and mutually in love--to the death! You guessed it. By accident, on the cruise over, her maid serves The Brew to Tristan and Iseult, and BOOM, their fate is sealed. Now, here's where the Courtly Love comes in. Tristan has to be faithful and loyal to King Mark, but the truth is Tristan has the hots so bad he can't help himself from bedding down .the King's fiance. We all know what happens next Right? We've all been through something like this. Wait, it gets worse. Iscult's maid is so upset at her mistake, that she offers to substitute herself in Iseult's marriage bed, and King Mark, blind as a bat we presume, has his way with the maid while Iseult is cuckolding him like crazy on the other side of the bed chamber. Somcthing's got to give. The other Knights get wind of this and start a series of unending challenges to this tryst Oh let's see, there are so many intrigues set afoot that at one point the poor old king ends up ·hiding in a pine tree to catch the lovers but the . see him there and outsmart him. A vicious dwarf gets into the picture. Astrology, vengance, ruse, and betrayal all come after them. Why, at one point the old king banishes Tristan a$ain and actually throws Iseult to a hundred lepers! Our Celtic ancestors really had a way with soap opera. But always God is on the side of our starcrossed lovers and finds them new and more curious places to lay down together. Now here comes the twister. Tristan, for reasons too numerous to explain here, is forced to marry another Princess, in Brittany, and her name is, now get ready: Iseult. Yes folks. Did you ever break up with a girl named Betty and then take up with another girl named Betty? The only good that can come of it is when you cry out her name in the middle of the night you can't get yourself into much trouble. You and I can't anyway. Tristan is another story. He tells Iseult #2 that due to a dragon's curse he must not sleep with his wife for a year. She buys this. Meanwhile, there is more deception, intrigue, and furious sparing contests until Tristan is at last mortally wounded. He sends for Iseult #1 who blasts in on a ship, tells Isuelt #2 to back off, throws herself beside Tristan, and dies of a broken heart King Mark takes pity on them and has them buried side by side where forever after an unseverable vine grows between their graves. The moral is: save this column and save yourself the trouble. Go ahead and stick to As The World Turns. I'm sure I've given you enough of the myth to help you get at least a B on the exam.

Herc's what's what: THE BEACON IS LOOKING ANYONE WILLING TOT Anzalone sings a jok by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor A new age is dawning for the Wilkes College Programming Board. New equipment, a bigger budget, new members, better acts, and bigger audiences have made the Board increasingly opti. mistic about its future. "In just two shows this past weekend, we must have gotten five extremely interested new members; people who would be with it until they graduate," said Board Chairman Andrew Morrell. The crowds have been bigger, also. The Friday night movie brought in almost two hundred people while a packed SUB audience witnesse.d the musical comedy of Tom Anzalone. Anzalone, who has been a professional for eight years, did an hour of mainly musical impressions. His talent is his exceptional guitar playing. Although his voice impersonations were far from perfect, his playing more than made up for it. This is not to say all of his impersonations weren't on. Most notable was his Bruce Springsteen's A-B-C's. Also worth mentioning was his Bob Dylan smgmg "Peter Cottontail;" Jack Nicholson sings Pink Floyd; his Prince and Leon Redbone (the Bud guy) impersonations; and his Jerry Lewis sings Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." His show was mostly this kind of zany musicaVcomcdy. In fact, he opened his show with a duet of guitar and trombone: the guitar in his hands and the trombone, his own verbal creation. He also joked about Johnny Cash, Elvis, Billy Joel, Johnny Mathis, Guns and Roses (the religious version is Nuns and Moses), Phil Collins, INXS, The Cure {the singer looks like the disease) and Julio Iglesias (translated, his name is Joe English). Anzalone's opera training (he studied music and opera in college) came in hal!,dY when he did his interpretation Who's classic "rock Tommy.

Mixed results for volleyballers By Lisa Miller Sports Editor The Wilkes College women's volleyball team opened its 1988 season this past weekend with two tournaments. On Saturday the Lady Colonels traveled to Philadelphia to compete in the Haverford Tournament. On Sunday the team competed in the Luzerne County Recreation Department Volleyball Tournament and for the fifth time in seven years were the victors of the Commissioner's Cup. The Haverford Tournament did not go as Coach Doris Saracino and her team would have hoped. The Lady Colonels were shut out in all five matches. Wilkes went down to Amherst 515, 3-15; Moravian 4-15, 3-15; Delaware State 13-15, 10-15; Wilmington College 8-15, 4-15; nine assists. and host Haverford 1-15, 4-15.

Good Luck Colonels �PAGE FOURTEEN September 15, 1988 NIFIL THE LOCKER ROOM Was he really trying suicide? Only he knows, but the guess here is no. Hopefully, he will work out any tangible marital problems before someone gets hurt, either physically or emotionally. I contacted a friend, Elmer Smith, the award-winning boxingwriter-tumed-sports-columnist of the Philadelphia Daily News , for his views of the situation. He, like others, is undecided. "Where there's smoke, .there's fire," Smith said, referring to the alleged, suicide attempt. "He's hard to read. He's very emotional. When you're around him, he's subdued, but you can see the emotions under the surface. "He's much like Ali in the sense that he's only happy in his world (the ring). Tyson is so young, you'd expect instability." Would Cus D'Amato, were he alive, have been able to guide , Tyson? "Maybe for a while longer," Smith said, "but he wouldn't have made much of a difference. "Tyson's a powder keg. I think something [tragic] is going to happen to him." Between the ropes, "Iron Mike" is as solid as the substance in his nickname. Sadly, other aspects of his life are much more malleable. by Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor The dichotomies of a celebrity are especially vivid. Mike Tyson' ihe boxer. approaches the realm of invincibility. Mike Tyson the . man exists much closer to vulnerability. Hardship is indiscriminate. It cares not if one is the heavyweight champion of the world. The creature of controversy has been a continual bedfellow of Tyson during his short fighting career. The most recent bizarre incident to plague the twenty-two year-old was on Sunday, September 4, when he crashed his wife's BMW into tree, knocking himself unconscious for twenty minutes. On Wednesday, September 7, The New York Daily News ran an exclusive claiming Tyson had attempted suicide with the crash. It also portrayed him as a wife-beater and a patient of New York psychiatrist Henry L. McCurtis. Columnist Mike McAlary? ~he author of the piece who claimed individuals close to the champ10n as his sources, also contended that Tyson has been the victim of a chemical imbalance in his brain that causes violent behavior since childhood. One incident related by McAlary has Tyson smacking his wife, Robin Givens, and professional tennis player Lori McNeil, a guest of the couple, during a summer vacation at Paradise Island. McAlary also revealed that Tyson took medication as a child to alleviate this problem but quit the treatment when he began boxing. The story even included Tyson's supposed threat to Givens to try suicide again. · In television interviews, McAlary said he personally felt the crash was not a true death try, but rather a cry for help. The day after the story was published, Tyson laughed it off. "They're trying to make a freak show out of my life," he said. "Nobody has more, better reasons to live than I do. I have way too much butt to kick in the ring to try to kill myself out of the ring." He also denied the allegations of wife abuse and psychiatric help and whisked off to the Soviet Union with his Mrs. Spaseba, glasnost. Tyson also postponed his October 22 bout with Frank Bruno due to a concussion suffered in the auto accident. He said he hopes to fight in two months. Hang in there, Frank. Mike will thrash you soon enough. When a man is bigger than life, his actions are often the victim of exaggeration. Tyson had a previous auto accident in New York City and tried to give the uncooperative Bentley to a pair of the city's finest. Heck, maybe the guy can't drive. He also participated in a late August, late-night (sans David Letterman) fisticuff with Mitch "Blood" Green, an accident waiting to happen, in Harlem. But the champ was clearly not the aggressor, and Green paid for his tomfoolery in blood. Heh-heh. "Kid Dynamite" does have a short fuse. I covered three of his bouts (vs. Biggs, Holmes, and Spinks) in Atlantic City for the Ocean City (NJ) Sentinel-ledger, and during those occasions when I observed or spoke with him, he was almost schizophrenic. One moment , he would be as happy as a lark. The next, he would be irate and snap off bitingly. The childlike appeal of one instance would give way to graphic obscenities at post-fight press conferences. He would often sleep through pre-fight conferences. At first, these routines were cute, a sign of immaturity. After a while, they looked to be something more long-reaching than youth. You know the expression "walk a mile in a man's shoes". No one envies Mike Tyson's upbringing. We humans are animals of habit, and Tyson learned many animalistic habits on the sn:eets of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Guidance is an important factor m personal ity development, and all semblances of direction in Tys~n•s life are in the grave: his mother, Loma; his trainer and guardian, Cus D'Amato; his fatherly co-manager, Jimmy Jacobs. :, ome would say that these are just irrational acts by a man of the same adjective. To be a boxer, one must have some degree of irrationality, or as opponents of the sport would contend, insanity. Tyson seems to have trouble defining his environment, decid.ing whether he is fighting or just plain living. Reports speculate that Tyson is 1Jncomfortable with his succe,s.

A popular sports cliche contends that any team can beat another on a given day. One would have had a hard time convincing the Wilkes Colonels football team that it could have defeated any squad last Saturday after being squashed by Cortland State, 37-0, in Cortland, New York in front of 4,125 satisfied Red Dragons fans at Davis field. "We didn't execute offensively or defensively," said head coach Bill Unsworth. "Cortland didn't surprise us. They didn't do anything that we didn't expect them to do." The Red Dragons took the opening · kickoff and drove 73 yards in just four plays to take a 7-0 lead. The score came on a 21-yard touchdown pass from uarterback Rich Keefer 18-34 270 yards, two touchdowns) to junior wide receiver Greg Sirico. The drive was highlighted by a 41-yard run by fullback Gareth Grayson, who finished with 126 yards on 18 carries. The Colonels, who managed only one first down (by penalty) in the opening half and six in the game, couldn't move the sticks and punted to Cortland. Keefer led the offense to paydirt again with a 12-play, 71yard drive. He ran one yard for the score and a 14-0 lead. Two big plays, a 33-yard screen to Grayson and a 15-yard toss to flanker Dave Falco after a penalty had moved the Dragons backwards, illustrated the disturbing tendency of the Colonels' defense to allow long gainers, especially on screens. After another . three downs and out for the Wilkes offense, Keefer found Falco all alone in the Colonel ' - ++-i•++-i•oi• 1-++f•+ C. 0 l onel Of th e W.ee.k yard scoring strike. The Colonels found themselves down 21-0 in the first quarter. It wasn't a classic way to open the s~ason. "On the third tou\:hdown," said Unsworth, "the cornerback was supposed to be in a threedeep zone. He covered a short receiver and didn't cover his zone. On the screen passes, we had people in the right positions but they didn't do what they were supposed to do. "We had three mental lapses on defense that caused three touchdowns. In fact, on those three big plays they had in the first half, we were in the defense we wanted to be in to in to stop those plays. There was just a total lack of execution." After a blitzkrieg like that, were the Colonels still in a position to win the contest? "We knew that they were going m try to strike quick because they have a lot of offensive weapons," said Unsworth. "We thought if we could weather that quick strike we'd be okay, and for a while, we settled down at 21-0, but then we just went back and made more mistakes." One mistake came in the form of a fumble by Colonel quarterback Sean Meagley at his own ten-yard line just before halftime. The Wilkes defense held, but the Red Dragons converted the faux paus into a 24-yard field goal for a 31-0 margin. Earlier in the second quarter, Cortland had scored on a 13-yard run by Grayson to cap a 12-play, 69yard drive, which included a spectacular 23-yard, brokentackle scamper by tailback Eric Love. i The only score of the second half came on another big play: _a 59-yard touchdown saunter by second-string fullback Nick Amodio. On the day, the Cortland offense rolled up 520 total yards. The Wilkes offense sputtered all afternoon, managing only 40 rushing yards in 25 attempts. Signal-caller Sean Meagley (824, 70 yards, 1 interception) was the victim of a shaky line and at least five dropped passes. His un canny mobility limited the Cortland defense to one sack, but the opportunities for plenty more were there. Tom Musto (25, 17 yards) saw fourth quarter action. Wide receiver Mike Harrison was the only offe:1sive standout, with three receptions for twenty-five yard-;. Punter Phil Voss punted ten times for a decent 34.5 yard average. The offensive line was also ineffective at pass protection in the scrimmage against Trenton State. What's wrong? "There were individual breakdowns, people just not executing their assignments," commented Unsworth. "That's a veteran line. They all started last year, and they're all better than that. "The same thing with the wingbacks as far as blocking and catching the ball. They're better than that." Left guard and tri-captain Jim Byrne agreed. "One guy would break down on every play. Every unit, the line, receivers, the backs and quarterbacks, had its problems. A lot of it had to do with it being the first game. We weren't putting it all together," he said. "Offensively, we own worst enemy,' Unsworth. "Every time something going, v..;'d penalty or f something." ten penalties for 93 Cortland committed · for 100 yards in the · marred battle.

"The key to cross country is a top runner. You need someone who has a chance of winning the race. Having only six guys makes it tough. If someone is injured the team is in trouble," said former runner and secondyear head coach Tom McGuire. In cross country you need five runners to score, anything less than that counts as an automatic team loss.

After the welcoming oraLions, President Breiseth and Dean Lampe conversed with parents during a reception. Breiseth said, "Parents pick up the extraordinary good feeling on campus. They know their kids made a good choice. You can see the pride in the sports, the Beacon, and in the clubs. Even outside viewers see the same thing." Dolores Rollman, moLhcr of freshman Sharon Rollman, felt that the school was "just a wonderful place, but I can't afford her phone calls." Upon leaving the CPA, the parents travelled Lo the picnic and sporting events at Raison Field. Many people had to wait in line for food during a rainstorm, but guests were protected by tents erected especially for the occasion. Basically everyone was posi- tive about the predicament. Henry Mabb, father of freshman Mark Mabb, said, "It was disorganized because of the weather siLuation, but with the tents everything seemed fine. I think they did a good job." "Under the tents makes it cozy," Carla Alfano, freshman, remarked. "It's a cozy family selling." "We were sorry about the weather, but everyone was patient," said Paul Adams, Associate Dean for Student Affairs. "We appreciate that" Dean Lampe also commented that "It has been very successful under the worst conditions. Parents took it in good nature." All through the day parents, students, and members of the College family were treated to different sporting events. Football, soccer, field hockey, and rowing trials were watched by very enthusiastic audiences. See Wilkes page 3 Dr. Richard N. Tutwiler, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at Wilkes College, will be working as a visiting scientist at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (!CARDA), one of only 13 international research centers established by the United Nations in the 1970's. The two-year Social Science Fellowship in Agriculture was awarded by the Rockefeller Foundation. Specifically, Tutwiler will be part of a multi-disciplinary team which will research better methods of farming in dry areas such as Syria, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. "We will be addressing development problems through better production for small farmers in these countries. In most of these areas, 90% of the farming is done by one household unit with the average farm consisting of 25 acres. Our research is designed to help these farmers get more for their efforts," said Tutwiler. The team will work to identify ·constraints on increasing productivity and income faced by small farmers in the Middle East and North Africa. The team's various methods will include improving seed varieties through plant breeding and increasing soil fertility. "This is a very exciting project. I have been involved with agriculture for some time, but never as a member of this kind of an international team. In the past I have worked mostly in planning and design rather than implementation," Tutwiler said. The Rockefeller Fellowships in Agriculture are part of a competitive program which offers opportunities for young North American social scientists to conduct collaborative research in agriculture or population studies at foreign institutions. The program provides for the appointment of ten fellowships each year at the international agricultural institutes based in developing countries. Campaign nears goal A 35 day period in which the Wilkes College Capital Campaign, WILKES TOMORROW, raised over $432,000 has brought their overall total to more than $12 million. This signifies that more than two-thirds of the campaign's goal has been reached. WILKES TOMORROW is a five year plan which concludes in 1990 and has a goal of $18 million. According to Thomas B. Hadzor, Executive Director of Development at Wilkes, the campaign is now beginning its regional phase and entering, that phase·,with two- , thirds of the goal already raised is a good sign. "The response we received in August is very encouraging as we enter the Regional Campaign phase of WILKES TOMORROW. This support is an indication that the strong enthusiasm our volunteers and supporters had at the beginning of the campaign is as strong as ever," said Hadzor. The funds will be used for capital purposes such as financing the new Sports and Conference Cen- See Campaign page 4 �PAGETWO Editorial . And, it looks .good on your ,,, resume • • Is Student Government the powerful student organization it should be, or is it just a breeding ground for resume-filler hungry big shots? This is the question that has been bothering me for quite some time now. In Il1Y two-plus years on this campus, Student Govemment--with the exception of a handful of hardworking souls--has been the latter. These hard workers carry the load for what seems to be an invisible student leadership organization. This heightening feeling of abandonment was raised to a new level because of an incident that probably happened to more than one person on this campus last week. In th.e very near future we will have elections for Student Government vacancies. The criterion for attaining a post involves the task of obtaining a specific number of signatures from classmates. This task has the tendency to get obnoxious. As I was walking across campus with a friend we were approached by a well dressed student and a friend who asked me if! was a senior. I replied "no" but my friend indicated that she was. He immedi ately went into his ''I'm-running-for-SGoffice-and-will-you-sign-my-sheet" spiel with accompanying polished smile. While my friend was signing--who could turn down that polished smile--! innocently asked him what his platform was: "What are you going to do for your class," I asked. After seeing his polished smile darken, he stared at the ground with a dumbfounded look on his face for a few seconds. After this momentary pause, he once again flashed that winning smile and replied "More than the person who has the job now!" He laughed and congratulated himself for his . wit (the job he is seeking is vacant). His friend, who had up until now remained silent, followed this up with "who the ---- · cares, anyhow?" Believe it or not, I do. And you should too. These are students we elect to represent us and get something done for the school and for our class. Elections will be held in the very near future to choose the best candidate, I hope you will. With the prevailing attitude, .who knows what work will get done and whose resumes will look good. I hope this is a trend that changes in the future. We deserve better. 1lll I Letters Thanks and good luck Dear Editor: Upon entering "the great rat race," I pause to wish my friends from Wilkes College the best of luck in their classes, careers and lives.

Circle K receives Single Service Award The Wilkes College Circle K Club was recently honored with a national award for their service to the community through their haunted house, called "A Nightmare on Main Street," which was held last October and raised $2,765 for the American Cancer Society. The amount exceeded by more than 50% the most ever collected by the annual event and tripled the 1986 total. The club received a National Honorable Mention in the Single Service Award category, which is given to the Circle K Club that "through dedication and unselfish efforts has produced the best single project or service during the year." The projects are judged on need for the event, quality of planning involved, total service hours employed, and the project's merit to the campus and/or the community. The club began planning for the event in May of 1987, and by the time the event had passed, 3,297.5 total service hours had been spent on theproject,anaverageof113.7hours per member. Over 1,500 visitors passed through the haunted house, which was located in the Calvary House of the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre. The students' enthusiasm spread to the rest of Wilkes' campus and to the community. They contacted five television stations, more than 20 radio stations which gave away free tickets, and nume regional and local newspapers, also asked other college clubs local high school Key Clubs for unteers to help work at the hau house, and solicited businesses supplies needed to build it.

It was noble, it showed my disdain for our false economy. I, no matter what anybody else might say about me, was a hippie! I was a card-carrying member of the working class, a starving studen~ with an orange crate for a coffee table and a lamp with a shade that could never sit up straight. Oh, it started slowly. First they send me a "Dear Student" letter offering me a Mobile credit card. Sure, what's a little gas from time to time. Next, more credit cards started amvmg. I had to test them out, didn't I? Oh, just a dinner here and a birthday gift there. Little things. Pretty soon I was on to the harder stuff, charging up "Cash" to the limit. Buying the bar a round and putting it all on plastic. Then it started happening. I couldn't pass up a sale. I bought a gold chain because Boscov was throwing in a second chain free. How could I resist? And I don't even like gold chains.

Couldn't I look at this Titanic Divan and say "Oh, that's real nice," and "Oh, the price is just right, but thanks, no, really, I think I'll just leave my money in the bank where it will generate interest." • The answer, quite simply, this last rainy Saturday, was an unqualified "Gimme!" I had to have this foolish couch. And now what will I do with it? Attatch a sail to it and enter a regatta? Lend it to the drama department if they ever do a production of Moby Dick? Heck, my couch wouldn't even fit on the stage. The armrests would be hanging out in the wings. Now what am I going to do with a couch that measures almost 3 inches short of the longest wall in my apartment? Rent it out to students? Hold Manuscript meetings on it where we can all snuggle into a comer?! Our toes wouldn't even touch! ' You see what college does to you. It makes you greedy.

You could listen to it and decide that its refreshing new electric jazz. That's good, but. . . something's missing. Now--you could see it and know that this is exciting, fresh new electric jazz. Then you'll know what to call this music that's got you on the edge of your seat. The Digital Dolphins will do this to you on Tuesday night September 27 at 8 p.m. in the CPA. Admission is free.

These names sit on paper like J.F.K. was only a president. Danny Brubeck comes from one of the royal families of jazz. Daddy Dave was and still is one of the top jazz pianists in the world. Danny is one of the most creative and driving drummers in jazz today and has earned the respect of fans and critics around the world. Watching Danny play is like ecstasy and agony wrapped around two drumsticks.

Pat DiNizio, the group frontman and resident beatnik, has come up with eleven songs that, just as in their 1986 debut LP Especially For You, speak the pains of loneliness. So moving is this collection that you feel D:iNizio actually lives the life he sings. The album kicks off with the radio smash "Only a Memory"; music critics have written about the strength and anger that this song demonstrates. Supported with a video regularly played on n A. MTV, "House We Used to Live In" has become increasingly popular. "Something New," a ditty that sounds curiosly like the Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing," is simple but moving. "The World We Know," a loud and agressive tune, will make skeptics change their mind of the Smithereens as "just another 60's copy group." Taking the title from their first record, "Especially · For You", this song has got it all: a catchy melody, fantastic lyrics, and a great sax solo from Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Amazingly pcss1m1suc, "Drown In My Own Tears" starts side two. Continuing with that same attitude, "Deep Black" tells some hard truths about a broken love affair. "Elaine," over- powered with a twelve-string Rickenbacker, could be mistaken for a Byrds oldie. Then, in ,a cryptic tone, "Spellbound," is wonderfully moody. "If the Sun Doesn't Shine" can be classified as great rock or smart pop. The closing song, appropriately named "Green Thoughts," showcases all the band members singing excellent background harmonies. It's no surprise that the Smithereens' c~lt following is quickly growing. Maybe it's because of their blue-collar backgrounds (DiNizio was planning to be a garbage man before becoming a singer) that many people can identify · with their music. Even more important, Green Thoughts is great rock 'n roll. Club Corner and "To be or not to be?" ives gh phy. wearing a short skirt which fall's "flirtatious funwear."

There are no prima donna stars in this group; everyone helps with everything involved in putting on a show--not just acting or directing. Don't get me wrong, though. Auditioning and acting are definitely two very important · things to these people. As members of the club, they tend to know a little in advance about all the auditions coming up, and, generally, take it upon themselves to spread the word around the campus. Karl Ruling, the faculty advisor, is also technical director for productions that take place at Wilkes. The club president for this year is Maureen O'Hara, a junior theatre major. With leaders like this, you can bet this club ~ill be doing great things this year. I don't, however, want you to get the idea that all these people· are interested in is theatre and putting on plays. There is also a great deal of interest in helping the community and promoting the College. Last year, the entire club was involved with the CROP Walk, which benefits the hungry of the world. Then, there was the Talent Show which was so popular in the middle of the second semester last year. Both of these, as well as numerous other activities, arc in the planning stages for this year. Naturally, there are the usual . . ,. ,, . . ,, p .,. ., .. .. Christmas time activities, including a club caroling excursion. As I said, this is a interesting group to travel with, so I'm sure you can use your imaginations to decide what a trip like this would be like. By now, you're probably curious as to how you can become a part of this group. Well, lucky for you, you don't even have to be a theatre major, all you have to be is slightly interested in theatre. That docs not mean you have to audition for and star in every show. In fact, you don't even have to audition for one show. There is always something that needs to be done backstage before, during, and after all the shows that arc put on. That is one of the pre-requisites of the Cuc-n-Curtain: you have to be willing to join in and get involved. Anyone interested in becoming a member of this "elite" group can attend the meetings which are held on Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the reading room in the Center for the Performing Arts. That's all there it is to it. And that is the Cue-n-Curtain. A friendly group of people interested in promoting theatre throughout the campus of Wilkes College, the Cue-n-Curtain is definitely an important and vital portion of the Wilkes College community.

Women's soccer suffers road-trip defeat by Suzanne Payne Beacon Sports Writer · The Wilkes ~omen's soccer team traveled south for a twogame road trip last weekend.

Why? They sure know how to rebound. The Colonels (1-1, 1-0 in the MAC) dunked Albright, 41-7, on a rainy Parents' Day afternoon at Ralston Field last Saturday, looking like a different team from the one trounced by Cortland State a week earlier. What can the turnaround be attributed to? "The intensity level of our team was a lot stronger than against Cortland," said head coach Bill Unsworth. Wide receiver Craig Stevens explained further. "Practice was live the week before the game," he said. "Usually, only the line is live. It's called 'Memorex.' But this week, there was tackling downfield. The starters felt we had something to prove." With a slick field as the proving ground, the Colonels sparred with the Lions for most of the first quarter, but a clear Wilkes-favored physical dominance was evolving. Late in the quarter, Mike Dungen's 25-yard field goal finished a 14-play, 71yard advance and gave the Colonels a 3-0 jump. On the following Albright possession, Colonels' free safety Mark Habeeb picked off a Ken Dysart pass and returned it 12 yards to the Lions' 32 yard-line. On the second play of the drive, Wilkes running back Joe Colonel of the Week Bednarski rambled 25 yards for They were so concerned about times for 107 yard!, his speed, they ignored the two game total the score and a 10-0 lead. for 200 yards.

As an Albright assistant coach confessed afterward, "Wilkes manhandled us.'' The Colonels' rushers, meanwhile, amassed 357 yards, led by Bednarski's 129. Ambosie added 88 on 12 carries and Courtney McFarlane chipped in 61 in 15 attempts. "We got off the ball, got in people's faces and blocked," commented Unsworth. "Every- . body blocked well: the line, the backs and wingbacks, and the receivers. We exploited their det fense with the influence trap, where the tackle pulls outside.

I wanted to talk to and listen to these people, and find out how we can serve them better." Casey and his cabinet then fielded inquiries and listened to complaints from the audience. They included a mixture of public and personal matters. Secretary of Public Welfare John White and Secretary of Education Thomas Gilhool handled most of the governor's references. Many of the exchanges encompassed the field of education, especially for the handicapped. "Pennsylvania's schools have great strengths in the area of education of the disabled on which we can build," said Gilhool. "It has been suggested to us by a citizen's task force and by the House Committee on Education that we invest in the implementation of approaches to teaching which work. They will entail early education and the transition from school to productive work." Casey also addressed the issue of higher education funding. "Since I've been governor, we have increased funding for scholarship assistance at a rate higher than any other in our history," he said. "We have a strong commitment to lessen the cost of higher education in the state. The right of college education should not depend on the size of a parent's pocketbook or the willingness of a student to incur debt." An audience member also asked if the Casey/Singel Education Reform Plan was being put into action. "All points have been or will be. One of the most important is a minimum salary of $18,000 for teachers. We also want to subsidize the educational costs of students who agree to teach in underserved areas," said Casey. "Our support for education is genuine. In the first two years of my administration, we will have increased support for education by almost a half billion dollars. I challenge any state to do that." Casey also stated his personal motto as an administrator. "A governor has to make tough decisions and be a leader. I'm not afraid to make those decisions."

Though the Volkswagen bus I picked up in no way compared to the Orange Horr.et, it could take the jolt of an occasional furry animal perched in the road, which was the only test I needed to perform. Within minutes we were speeding down the interstate, with Thad's hands leaving the wheel every few minutes to scan an animal crossing with binoculars, hoping to spot a wild, daring possum 'f~~ readying himself to dart across the road. In the middle of a raging thunderstorm we pulled into the crowded parking lot of a hellish hellhole called Pickering. The oddly shaped triangular building reeked of decaying excrement. A gritty, seeping black film crept down the brick walls expo~ing the blank emptiness of hollow windows. There was a blonde, small-eyed, wrestler-type sitting spread-eagled at the door. He was nursing a quart of watermelon wine cooler, and his chanting of AC/ DC's Highway to Hell did little to conceal the screams of freshly castrated resident assistants.

Elmes-Crahall said that her experience in public speaking and thefactthatsheteachespublicspeaking were additional but equally important qualifications. She also said that being a woman was an asset throughout the selection process. Basically, Elmes-Crahall's job was to keep the meeting running smoothly and to remove the pressure of deciding who to allow to speak from Governor Casey. She said the job was "hard" in that she had to remain authoritative enough to keep the meeting moving yet remain sensitiveenough to know when a person, who might not have had a question, should be heard. She described the situation of the parents of a three year old deaf boy whose parents were trying to have the boy enrolled in school. The local Intermediate Unit would not allow them to enroll their son in the Scranton School for the Deaf, their choice forthechild. After making an appeal at the town meeting, the Governor instructed the Secretary of Education to have the child enrolled in school by Friday. The meeting lasted approximatelythreeandahalfhours,anhour and a half longer than expected.

The walls of her home shake every time her son walks, ereating a dangerous situation. When discussing the success of the town meeting, she mentioned being told during the late afternoon on the day of the event that she would have to introduce the governor, giving her only a few hours to prepare, and being cued to the wrong camera at one point in the proceedings. Overall however, Elmes-Crahall said that the meeting "basically went smoothly." 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i1 Sp EC I A L I N VITATI O N TO ALL WILK.E S FEMALE STUDENTS • All Wilkes female students are invited to attend an informal discussion with Dr. Rosemarie Tong, 2 to 3 p.m. in the Annette Evans Alumni House on Thursday, October 27.

(CPS) Boston University rejected student proposals and issued strict new rules September 15 prohibiting students from having overnight guests of the opposite sex in their dorm rooms, "All of life after 11 p,m, has been banned at BU," senior Jamie Sanbonmatsu told a crowd of 2,000 students that had converged to protest the visitation rules the day before they were approved, BU's strict new rules may be the closest a college has returned to the "in loco parentis" relationship schools maintained with their students up until the 1960's. Under the doctrine~ literally meaning administrators acted "in place of the parents" - campuses set curfews for students, suspended students for behaving in ways they didn't like and forbade students of the opposite sex to visit with each other behind closed doors. Though the rules collapsed under student protests for greater autonomy, new drinking laws and increasing numbers of student lawsuits blaming colleges for sexual assault~ and other crimes have moved many campuses to tighten their control over potentially litigious student behavior during the past few years, St. Joseph's College in Maine, the State University of New York at Binghampton and North Carolina State University, among others, also have restricted or banned overnight visits to dorms by members of the opposite sex in recent years. Virtually every campus in the United States, moreover, has stiffened its student drinking rules since 1986, when the federal government threatened to cut off funding to any state that still allowed 18 year-olds to drink alcohol. BU officials said they were just trying to help students study. The new rules, said BU spokesman Kevin Carleton, actress "concerns stated by students, staff and parents that residences too often have failed to provide the kind of environment where an individual can quietly study and have his or her right to privacy respected." Sanbonmatsu, on the other hand, charged, "The adminstration is stunting our growth and development by denying us the right to make decisions." Under the new guidelines, some of which go into effect in late fall and others during the spring, guests must display identification cards and leave the dormitory by 11 by Susan Borthwick p.m. on weekdays and 1 a,m, on Beacon Assistant News Editor weekends.

Written by William Shakespeare, Much Ado is the story of star-crossed lovers and a vengeful sister. It is the story of Claudio and Hero, innocent love, and sacred vows; it is the story of Benedick and Beatrice, quick wits and vicious barbs. Mr. Karl Wagner, theatre director at King's College, directs the show, which will be presented on October 6, 7, and 8 at the King's theatre. Through his constant and professional attention, the cast is building a show that is sure to charm both young and old. Robert J. Michaels and Laura Herman, who star as the innocent lovers Claudio and Hero, are both seniors from King's College. Benedick is skillfully portrayed by John Domzalski, from Wilkes, while his sharp witted opponent and lover is brought to glorious life by Anne Schneller of King's. The remainder of the cast is comprised of both Wilkes and King's students. From Wilkes, Rebecca G. Haywood can be found debuting as A_ntonia, Ron Petoia is seen starring as Don Pedro, Gunnar Waldman as Dogberry, Christine Brunnock as Margaret, Nick Humen as Fransis Seacole the Sexton, Michele D. Broton as Leonata, and Patrick L. Shields as the messenger and Friar Fransis. King's students _in the play include Jennifer Hussey as Lady Johanna, Kurt Reisinger makes his debut as Borachio, and also debuting are Tim Trach as Verges and Bridget O'Brien as Ursula. Rounding out the cast, one will Let's rock find Roan Everett, another King's student, and Eoin Ennis, a sophomor.e at Bishop O'Reilly High School, portraying the two hilariously funny watchmen.

Their music is fun, their lyrics ridiculous, and their style is original. Most of the time, the group will only be popular in the musical underground. All of the above can be said to describe Redd Kross, a group from Hollywood, California. Neurotica, the band's latest release, is filled with songs that speak of no political jargon and no charity organization. What a relief. Brilliantly produced by T. Erdelyi (once known as Tommy Ramone), Redd Kross has songs with names like "Peach Kelli Pop," "Frosted Flake" and "Ballad of a Love Doll." Their lyrics ring with a comic tone: "Tired of being thrashed on/ are you prepared to pay the price? Better scratch' up the cash/ because the dolls just ain't that nice. Yes, important music is needed late in the 1980's, but sometimes we need a break. For seven years now, Redd Kross has recorded music that serves only the purpose of enhancing a good time. Neurotica is one of the best party albums in existence. Listen, enjoy, and forget about your problems.

Students are encouraged to attend this televised forum on the newly formed campus organization W.LN. When will it start? Who decides the winners? Who really wins? The forum will be held in the TV studio (SLC 2 18) the day after fall break (Tues) @ 11: 15. Be there! Wall Street is a film that is smoothly paved with precise granites of camera work, direction, and scripting. But the cement that holds Wall Street together is the rock-solid acting abilities of Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Martin Sheen. Charlie Sheen brilliantly portrays a young accountant, Budd Fox, on the New York Stock Exchange plateau. He is already earning $60,000 a year in his current position, but Budd is aspiring to be one of "the players," as his new mentor Gordon Gecko would refer to a millionaire. Michael Douglas portrays Gecko in an Academy award winning performance. He is a stem, ruthless, and manipulative Wall Street millionaire that attracts Fox into his glitzy and extravagant lifestyle. Martin Sheen, who plays the Father of Budd (and. is, as the name might imply, Charlie Sheen's real life father), is strongly against Gecko's beliefs and ideals in the realm of business. He is a believer of hard work and ethics. Martin Sheen must also believe in hard work ethics when it comes to the intricate acting he displayed vehemently throughout Wall Street. Wall Street is filled with bump after bump of intriguing conflicts: between father and son, mentor and young aspirator, or mentor and father. A perfect mixture of acting, scripting, and camera work blend superbly to create an enduring path of enjoyment. * John can be seen reviewing the latest theatre films and video releases on the "Wilkes Today" show at 12:15 pm on Thursdays in the Stark Lobby.

And a good expression it is too, although nobody at Wilkes in •the past few years seems to have paid . any attention to it. Nobody, that is, except Scott Zolner. Starting this year out bright and shiny, Scott has reintroduced the fashion of wearing ties to school. Square? Not at all. In a totally innovative _ fashion statement that has taken everyone by surprise, Mr. Zolner, in his own inimitable style, has reintroduced good taste to campus fashion. Where else did we have to go but up? Have you noticed that campus fashion had, before Mr. Zolner's novel approach to attire, gone from bad to worse? I mean, sweat pants with holes in them. Tee-shirts with the most obscene phrases. Pajamas. Blue jeans with tatters and rips big enough to drive a car through. Oh; it's cool to relax in class, I know. Nice to have all your things hanging out during a lecture in chemistry. But where does it get you? A sloppy outfit is like a sloppy mind, I tell you.

But I don't know of any student groups that are planning any protests." In contrast, some people at Arizona State University--often portrayed as a conservative campus-seem much quicker to protest. ASU's Faculty Women's Association recently criticized the university's Business College Council for allowing a local radio station to use the campus for a Jessica Hahn promotion. "The unfortunate highlighting of Ms. Hahn shows insensitivity to women and men at Arizona State University who consider themselves serious scholars," the women's association said in a memo to the business council. Hahn, whose sexual liaison with a television evangelist Jim Bakker ultimately forced Bakker to resign from his PTL ministry, has posed unclothed twice for Playboy magazine and is now a disc jockey for Arizona radio station KOY-FM. The women's association complained that Hahn's appearance on campus "perpetuates the unacceptable stereotype of women as sexual objects." Richard Huxtable, president of the business college, said he "probably used bad judgement" when he agreed to Hahn's campus appearance. KOY-FM, Huxtable said, was hired to play music and attract students to a business college recruiting event in early September. The station was hired weeks before Hahn joined its staff. "They (KOY-FM officials) know that they purposely took the entire program over. They were there to play a little music. This was not Jessica Hahn promotion," Huxtable said. "Students were taken advantage of," said ASU student president John Fees. "We need to be careful." �PAGE TEN October 6, 1988 Amnesty group tries to turn rock into human rights crusaders (CPS) Tim Carrier, a University of Massachusetts student and a big fan of U2, made it a point to catch the band on a 1986 MTV telecast. It turned out the group's performance was part of Amnesty International's "Conspiracy of Hope" tour, designed to introduce the human rights group to students just like Carrier. And it worked. In what had to be one of the most successful mass political recruiting efforts in recent campus history, Carrier, like 30,000 other people, joined the organization, eventually founding a UMass chapter. Nationwide, the 250 campus and high school Amnesty chapters grew to "more than 1,00," reported Peter Larson of the group's membership office. "I don't even equate Amnesty with music anymore," Carrier, who is taking this term off to work as an intern with Amnesty International (AI), said. "Now all I equate it with is human rights." or' course the main purpose of the group, whose efforts won the 1978 Nobel Prize, is to lobby governments worldwide to get them to respect human rights. It publicizes the cases of "prisoners of conscience"--or political prisoners--arnd works to end the death penalty. And while a healthy handtul of U.S. students always has been involved with the issue, few "nonpartisan" groups have ever been able to build campus support in as short a time as Amnesty International did in 1986. And this month, despite having had a terrible time integrating all those new members two years ago, the group is actively recruiting stu-dents again. This time it's called the "Human Rights Now!"tour, features Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Senegal's Youssou NDour. "It's important to see the concerts--and our efforts to organize students--as one of the ways we're building a base of support for human rights,"said Ellen Cull of Amnesty's Northeast office. Building it that fast, however, can cause problems for a group. Integrating such vast numbers of new members "strained our resources.confessed Jack Rendler, who helps coordinate Al's campus chapters, and, inevitably, brought i a lot of people who were fans of music, not human rights. "I know Sting sings about it or something," one Indiana University student said when asked why she was attending a campus AI meeting. That attitude, Amnesty officials say, was the source of their problems after the 1986 tour. ' "The 'Conspiracy' tour," recalled Allen Hailey, a University of Oklahoma junior, "got more people involved, but some weren't getting the message," noting some saw it as this week's cause. Added Loala Hironaka, whose University of California at Berkely chapter grew from 200 to 500 members after the "Consipiracy" concerts: "What happened in 1986 is that you have a lot of people join up, but you don't have time to form them." It was hard, Hironaka said, to educate the new members about Amnesty's strictly nonpartisan, independent stance. "Amnesty is supposed to be nonpartisan, but students are sometimes used in partisan ways," she said. "You'd like to have. . . the students understand Amnesty's mandate." Steve Kotkin, also of the Berkeley chapter, called it "a question of philosophy." "Some are for a smaller, tightknit group where all the members are informed and involved. Others want a broader organization. I'm partial to greater numbers myself. We can always educate people after they join up." "We11 have Kotkin's in the majority.

They performed the first num- The ber, "Unbroken Dreams," excellently. Throughout the next two numbers, I noticed a minor flaw in the band: the guitar player's solos almost all contained two certain riffs -- a fast chromatic run riff and a multi-noted fast building-up one. Furthermore, on the really fast solos he lacked articulation. But, as I stated earlier, he has considerable talent. If I was asked to rate their performances individually, I would choose them in the order of drums, keys, bass, guitar. These are four men who produce a really ~xciting sound. This was certainly a "must see." With the band being on! y one and onehalf years old, I can see them growing rapidly into one of today's highly influential jazz bands.

If your interests are in theatre, there's the Cue-NCurtain. If music is your outlet, you can join M.E.N.C (Music Educators National Communication) or WCLH, the student-run radio station. We all know about the Beacon and Amnicola. But what if your interests lie in the more quiet creative arts, what can you do? Well, there is a group for you: the Manuscript society. A literary magazine for Wilkes College, the Manuscript welcomes anyone and everyone. That is anyone and everyone with a desire to share what they have created with the rest of the campus. The Manuscript is open to all students and accepts submissions of poetry, prose, artwork, and photographs. If you can create it, and, of course, if it's tasteful, it is eligible for submission to the Manuscript. While publication of the magazine is the primary purpose of the Manuscript, that is not the only thing the society does. For one thing, they conduct coffee houses where people are free to s.tand up and read their poetry and prose, play music, sing, or whatever. These coffee houses are generally a lot of fun and get a relatively large turnout. The Manuscript society also sponsors talks by professional poets and writers, who are always willing to give a fellow writer some valuable advice. What if you want to submit art, a poem, or some such creative work? Say you have no time to attend the meetings, or, heaven forbid, you don't want to go to the meetings. Well, you can still submit your work, and you may see it around April in the Manuscript. For all you aspiring poets and artists out there, you can submit your work to the Manuscript by slipping it under the office door on the third floor of the SUB. If that doesn't appeal to you, give it to either of the co-editors, Eddie Lupico or Michele Broton, or the two assistant editors, Rebbeca Haywood or Kathy Hinsch. If you can't find these people and really don't want to drop your submission off at the Manuscript office, you can also give them to the faculty advisor, Dr. Patricia Heaman. So now you know what the Manuscript is and what it does. Remember, the magazine that comes out in the spring is )'.ill!!: magazine. That means that it's up to you whether it will be great or just another literary magazine. You are the Manuscript, and the Manuscript needs you!

LOCKER ROOM t A season's first t The Stevens Show !by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor § I'm really starting §off. One correct trivia by Lisa Miller by Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor A one-on-one confrontation boils sport down to its most. basic, yet enthralling situation. The stark difference between winning and losing is evident. Results are naked, out in the open for all spectators to see. Craig Stevens was in the open many · times two Saturdays ago. He left his fellow combatant watching the heels of spikes far in front of him, eating dust. In the 52-35 loss to Susquehanna on September 24 in selinsgrove, Stevens set the single game individual receiving yardage record with 230 yards on just eight receptions. The old mark was 161 by Ed Mann against FDU-Madison in 1983. Stevens blew by that number almost as easily as he did :;>ast the defender trying to stay with him. It was one of those special individual performances displayed on a higher level which is rarely seen. "They [Susquehanna] were blitzing on almost every down and the defensive back was playing inside of me, so it was easy for me to re:ease off the line and get downfield in a hurry," said Stevens. With the Colonels down 21-3 at intermission, The Stevens Show, Act 1 began. Quarterback Sean Meagley found Stevens striding the right sideline, a full three steps ahead of his pursuer. Stevens gathered the spiral and was pushed out of bounds after a·thletically attempting to keep his balance. The hookup was good for 68 yards. "I never should have looked back. That enabled him to catch up to me," said Stevens. The Colonels could manage only a field goal, which put the score at 21-6, Crusaders. Act 2 began on the next offensive set of downs. Same defender, same route. The differences? This time, the play resulted in an 81-yard touchdown, Stevens beat his shadow by almost ten yards, and he didn't look back. Scoreboard: 21-14, Susquehanna. A defensive secondary coach worth his $3.49 clipboard would proceed to double-cover Stevens after watching him roast a cornerback on successive plays. Susquehanna's Steve Briggs, however, probably lacks some gray matter in the old noggin. 'Nah,' he probably thought. 'Those plays were just Craig Stevens flukes_' Photo by Lisa MIiier The flukes continued to happen as Stevens made catches of 15, 19, 21 and 11 yards, even though the Colonels couldn't catch the Crusaders in points. Before the two long gainers, he grabbed two passes for 10 and 9 yards respectively. A 28.8 yard average on each· catch, all made ag~nst single coverage. Just flukes, Steve. "The}' stayed in single coverage because they were relying on the blitz to get to the quarterback," said Stevens. "The offensive line did a good job in picking it up, and I was able to get open downfield." Was Stevens aware of the record coming into the season? "I wasn't aware of it," he said. "I just try to contribute to the team as much as I can. Unfortunately, we lost, but hopefully in the future we'll get some wins." Stevens, a junior, caught only four passes for 40 yards last season. Was Coach Bill Unsworth expecting big contributions from him this year? "Yes," · he said. "Craig was hurt last year with strained ligaments in his knee. He's a great athlete. He can dunk a basketball despite his size (5'9", 180)." Hear that, Coach Rainey? Stevens, a native of Pottsville, PA and a graduate of Pottsville High School, didn't have many record-setting afternoons during his Crimson Tide playing days. it i Bea,:•:::~• :::a~ t five tries?
