He also said the "threshold of change" extends to medicine as well because the quality and length of life are increasing. He said our system of free enterprise allows us to do what we want, and this incentive is the "spark plug" of the economy. Referring to economic systems like the one the Soviet Union has, he said our system may be flawed but we are not controlled by it as the Soviet citizens are. The awe in which the United States is held springs from the fact that we have freedom of speech, not from our military power, Forbes pointed out. He also said that even though we should readdress our attention to more immediate needs .

The sanctions imposed ranged from official warning to dismissal from the College. The fines that are collected are put into a special school account to fund the classes. Under the old policy, students who the College felt lacked responsibility and maturity in the use of alcohol were required to participate in alcohol education programs. Allen said the class is now mandatory for all students, whether they are 21 years old ornot, found in violation of the policy. 'The program (mandatory alcohol education classes) was designed to fill a void the College had in its existing alcohol policy," said Allen. "The goal of the class is forthe individual to begin thinking how alcohol affects their life, whether it's in a minor or major way." The classes began last month and will be conducted monthly. See Alcohol page 4 by Barbara J amelli Beacon News Editor Official announcement of the $1 million partnership grant to fund the Wilkes College Regional Computer Resource Center (RCRC) was made Monday at apressconference held by Wilk es and the Pennsy 1van ia Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). The partnership grant will provide 250 thousand dollars annual funding over the next four years fortheRCRC. Taking part in the conference were: Dr. Christopher Breiseth, President of Wilkes College; Mr. Ned Heeter, PHEAA representative; Dr. Joseph Bellucci, Director of the Wilkes RCRC; Dr. Barbara Bellucci, Director ofMicrocomputing in the RCRC; and Mr. Angelo Cipriani, member of the RCRC Board. Also on hand for comment were State Senators Rhodes, Lammond, and Musto.

In that letter, Dr. Guggenheim complained about what he perceived to be a lack of democracy at Wilkes College. His comments were wide ranging and included many serious charges against the institution. Unfortunately, students are generally not in a position to evaluate most of his comments, especially those that pertain to the faculty's choice of department chairman, the agenda of faculty meetings, and the preparation for careers that Wilkes offers. Students might be inclined to take Dr. Guggenheim's comments at face value, and conclude ,that a seri-. ous problem exists. Based on my experience at Wilkes, Dr. Guggenheim's criticisms are totally without merit. Speaking bluntly, I am shocked that someone with his educational level could be so wrong about so many issues. If space allowed, I would be able to fill two or three pages of the Beacon, detailing the ways in which Dr. Guggenheim's criticisms are invalid. I do wish to focus on a few issues, however. First, department chairs are subject to review by the faculty every three years. Thus, ineffective chairs are identified to the administration, and, I strongly suspect, not retained \n that role. Second, faculty do have a tremendous impact on the agenda and discussions of both departmental and full-faculty meetings. During the course of an academic year, the faculty will be called upon to deliberate and vote on a wide range of issues including the curriculum, governance, admissions, College finances, and student life. Some of the discus- : , •• • • ·•••• • .•.• ,J! • ·• ·•• ·• ·• ·• ·• •~ r ~ ! ❖:•: : ::•:. : Vi ■: •: .: •• •• ■ • 001tffl~o.m10Nt : '!: : ?(■ j • of the Economics Department, "Unfortunately that one detractor campaigned long and hard at every level of the tenuring process and in the end prevailed by dint of volume and persistence. Charges that were factually incorrect, distorted, irrelevant and out of context were presented by his detractor and the Tenure and Promotions Committee and the administration apparently accepted them uncritically." It is not difficult to see that Prof. Croop was denied tenure due to political infighting rather than as a result of anything concerning merit. Fred Croop's service to Wilkes College in the six plus years he has been teaching here has been nothing short of outstanding. His commitment and dedication to his students and this institution are exemplary. Students look to Mr. Croop with respect and admiration and regard him as a teacher in the truest sense of the word. To the students which have learned under him he is not just a course instructor but the embodiment of the curriculum itself. As one student so aptly phrased it, "He has shown me the entire scope and purpose of my education. He has taught me the procedures and theory as well as helped me to better understand the applications of my knowledge. I could never learn from any book the valuable understanding I have learned from him." See Croop! page 3 sions become very lively, and the votes of the faculty are binding. Third, Dr. Guggenheim's assertion that the the College "channels students into meaningless service occupations" is unbelievable. Instead, the College makes every effort to give students an education that will prepare them to assume leadership roles throughout the Wyoming Valley, and even at a national level. Wilkes' alumni are very successful and visible contributors to the community, region, and nation. Judging from an informal poll of my students, it seems that most have not read Dr. Guggenheim's letter. However, for those few who have taken the time to read it, please do not take it at face value. Instead, realize that it was written by a disgruntled soul who was obviously out of touch with the reality of Wilkes College. Sincerely, Kenneth M.

He received his Masters of Business Administration from Wilkes College. He has participated in the presentation of continuing professional education seminars for the holders of the CPA license. He is a member of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants, National Association of Accountants and has attended numerous professional education seminars. Mr. Croop' s credentials and commitment speak for themselves, however, it seems as though they didn't speak as loudly as his spiteful detractor. It is imperative the administration does not lose sight of its purpose and role in the education process. Wilkes College is not, has never been,norwill iteverbe,arecognized research facility. Wilkes is here to educate and inform. This is not Harvard University. Wilkes College is not an institution whose reputation is bound to its ability to export new and bold ideas, rather, it is charged with the task of distributing that information which is believed to be relevant and important This is not to saythatWilkesshouldactivelyavoid important research; it simply means that it is not possible to require it from its faculty. It has been charged that Fred Croop is too narrow because most of his formal education has come from Wilkes College. Unless Wilkes College does not firmly .believe in the credibility of its programs and degrees, the charge of narrow becomes ridiculous and unwarranted. It has been charged that the school purposely refused tenure to Mr. Croop because they felt they needed to keep a tenure spot available for a candidate with a Ph.D. in Accounting. This is even more unfounded then the first. Wilkes College can neither afford a Ph.D. in Accounting nor could it ever attract one. Wilkes College actively pursued reasons to substantiate an otherwise spineless denial. This in itself should send a message to the administration that a real problem exists. Fred Croop is simply invaluable to the future of this institution. Prof. Broadt, Chairman of the Accounting Department and an active instructor, has said, "Fred is the most skilled and talented professor of Accounting at Wilkes, and that includes me. He is simply the best." Dr. Williams, who has served in many capacities at Wilkes has provided the following statement, "Fred's service to Wilkes has been qualitatively and quantitatively superior to any present or past Accounting professor. Students respect and like him because he is a fair but rigorous teacher who prepares them superbly well and always extends his time and effort outside the classroom to help them ... His PAGE1HREE combination of CPA, CMA, and MBA is unique among professors in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the fact that he teaches management, computer science and a very wide range of accounting courses makes him virtually irreplaceable. Many of us in the School of Business and Economics are still in a state of shock over the fact that one vicious detractor is enough to outweigh years of exemplary · service. This is an extremely demoralizing message to young untenured faculty members." The reaction from the faculty is obvious. The injustice and unfair practices employed here are unequivocally despicable. Fred Croop has served Wilkes College with honor and integrity and because one less-than-honorable faculty member saw fit to abuse unwarranted and undeserved political power in a way that any decent American citizen would regard as appalling, he has been denied his right to tenure. It is obvious that his detractor is not interested in the welfare of the students of this college, nor is this person interested in the integrity of this institution. Furthermore it is obvious that his detractor is solely interested in personal, menial power. Wilkes College has suffered a tremendous blow. The ramifications of this affair are far reaching and have only just begun to surface. Prof. Rose Cordora will not seek tenure as a result of this. How many other gifted and talented professors will leave or lose interest in Wilkes College because of this? Wilkes College will not be producing as high a quality of student as it presently does in accounting·, management or computer science. The riff that has been created between faculty and administration will endure for years to come. Most importantly it is the student who shall suffer through the holocaust of this injustice. The administration of this college has the ability to reverse this injustice, however, it will not overturn it without pressure. The student body of all Wilkes College students, in all departments, must have their voice heard. The facts are incontrovertible, and, as we've been told, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the needs of the one, represented by revenge, spite, and resent. Fred Croop should receive tenure and his detractor should be admonished for actions taken in this affair. I strongly urge the student body of Wilkes College, before it is too late, to cry out on behalf of Fred Croop, the students, the faculty, and the institution we know as Wilkes College.

The Beacon learned Florence Zaykoski, 72, was climbing the stairs to the fifth floor of Miner Hall to see her granddaughter, Michelle Dominick. While on the third flight of stairs, Mrs. Zaykoski suffered a heart attack. According to security's report, at 6:35 p.m. a student making her way up to the third floor found Mrs. Zaykoski lying on the steps. The student rushed into third floor hysterically, searching desparately for help. Georgine Tarapchek, a junior, heard the cries for help. Being certified in Cardiac Pulmonary Recessitation, Tarapchek went to the aid of the elderly woman. After checking for vital signs twice, she began the resucitation process. After several minutes, a slight pulse was found. The second application of CPR was administered with the aid of a second student. Shortly after, Assistant Chief of Security John Marancci arrived and also aided in administrating the CPR. Soon after the students began the CPR, an ambulance was called and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital was notified. The woman was placed in the coronary care unit at the hospital. She died the following Saturday. Irr=======================~=="!

The reality of this is that the boy must now take on the responsibilities of manhood. He must serve the society, protect it from enemies, and provide it with food. The individual must also serve himself. He usually does this in what is known as "the hunt." Here he attempts not only to fight with nature but also become one with it. The animal is seen both as a symbol of violence--the human breakaway from the world of nature--and a symbol of intimacy--the human desire to be reintegrated into nature. As the myth goes, each animal has a guardian spirit which must be appeased before the animal is hunted, and is done so through ri- Build a better future • Ola • WI th Th e A m n lC The w1·1kes Yearbo'ok • • I by Michele Broton Beacon Feature Writer here in the 86-87 school year, have been receiving.

Club Corner extension #2955 �PAGE SIX October 13, 1988 Album Attic Australia's Lime Spiders by Craig Cooper Beacon Columnist Australia is becoming the world's hotspot for guitar groups. The Hoodoo Gurus, the Screaming Tribesmen and Kings of the Sun are all making their influence felt within the U.S. One of Aussie's most popular bands, the Lime Spiders, has been regarded in the last few years as the best that country has to offer. Their latest release, The Cave Comes Alive , is good, but it could have been a lot better. Side one starts off with the powerful "My Favorite, Room." •I i I I I I I II I I I After listening to this song, you get an idea what the Lime Spiders are all about: strong guitar sound, simple riffs and gruff vocals from Mick Blood. Other catchy tunes include the obnoxious "Just One Solution", "Blood From a Stone", and an excellent cover of Cream's "NSU." It's side two that falls short. For starters, "Just One Solution" is given a reprise. This denotes a feeling that the group didn't have enough material. "Space Cadet", a good tune musically and lyrically, fails because of sill alien ta effects used at the end of the song. The Spiders were obviously trying to sound psychedelic. It might have been fascinating twenty years ago, but the style seems corny today. Aside from the album's negative phase, The Cave Comes Alive is worth buying. Other songs Jike "Theory of Thira", "Rock Star", and "Jessica" must be heard! Guitarist Gerard Corben plays in such a relaxed style that it makes you want to play the instrument. The Lime Spiders will continue to show that Australia has more to offer than Paul Ho an and kan aroos. ____________________ WHA.T IS W.I.N. ???

The red swept the room, illuminating each and every staggering buffoon's face. Thad, my houseboy and ear wax extractor, was still marveling over the strobe light we had delicately attached to his bare chest with masking tape and a tube of super glue. He spun around in a less-than- · adequate breakdancing routine, and I had to spear him in the head with a stiff, over-starched pair of jeans in order to calm him down. The seething pervert to the left of my personal slave and blemish remover was unobtrusively fondling the skin cells accumulated on his own kneecap. And he seemed to be enjoying it too. His hair was creatively arranged in what can only be termed the anti-mohawk. Normally, all the hair is shaved except :-, " a rectangular pelt in the center. in a genius-like effort, this man's hair sty list left all his hair intact, except he shaved the area where the hair would remain on a conventional mohawk. That catastrophe in style, combined ~2ilffillke ~ with the fact that he was clad only in boxer shorts, and that he was chewing tobacco and would occasionally spray other patrons with gritty, black projectiles, made everyone stay an agreeable ten feet away from him. My attention shifted away from the obnoxious boobs perched in laundry baskets and dryers, and centered on the odd behavior at a certain washer. Little did I know that it is actually a giant blender, and can be used to mix a greatly successful pina colada. A nondescript necrophiliac was shoveling in the alcohol, coconut, and giant masses of crushed ice while violently vibrating his entire body to the tunes of Pink Floyd. After a while, his eyes opened as wide as possible, and he stepped back and gave a gargantuan scream. Everybody in the room, with the exception of Thad, my navel deodorizer and cheese shredder, ran in front of the washer in haste, and held their cups at an angle perpendicular to the machine.

The music blared once again while the new found bartender, who I later discovered was named Buckwheat Hollow, dutifully, dedicatedly, and, well, ignoranlly, began whipping up more of the same drivel. In the middle of the crowded confusion of the party, I picked my famed chemistry professor, Dr. Swain, out of the mass of people. "Did you hear about the nearsighted dog that was killed after chasing a parked car?" he shouted repeatedly while sipping his drink. His hair was slightly ruffled having just been knocked on the side of the head with an airbound Hewlett-Packard calculator. He was talking to a well-en- dowed young lady, who kindly offered him a band aid which he gladly took. He seemed to be affected by the blow, for he came up to me and said, "Did you hear about the nearsighted farmer who accidentally milked a bull?" The professor's words becam..: mush in my ears as I focused on an opening door in, the far end of the laundry room. A beautiful woman was silhouetted against a backdrop of light As our eyes met, everybody else in the room became a blur, and disappeared as we walked towards each other. What followed was a Platonic paradise of togetherness, talking about things I could never share even with close friends, thinking not about life's insignificant troubles but about the intelligent, fully alive person at my side. No jokes. No clever characterizations. No sarcasm. Out of that completely insane world emerged something, or rather someone, who makes sense. A bit optimistic, huh?

This talented young actor jumped feet first into the role of the grotesque Dogberry with full abandon. His exaggerated spitting speech was hilarious, the pomp and swoon of Shakespeare's comic interruptions worked perfectly with the wonderful fooling of his motley crew: Tim Trach, Roan Everett and Eoin Ennis. Together they brought the house down with complete merriment. And while I'm at it, although praise has never been my forte, Nick Humen did a splendid job as Sexton, on a moment's notice, and proved his talent is one we'll see a lot more of, if I may end a sentence with a preposition.

Bedford Hall was designed about 1876 by Bruce Price (18451903), who rose to national prominence in the late 1800s. Price is best known for his Queen Anne and Shingle style homes, particularly those located at Tuxedo Park, New York. Bedford Hall is believed to be the earliest of his houses still in existence. Price maintained an ,office in Wilkes-Barre from 1872 to 1876 before moving to New York. Kirby Hall, erected in 187374, was designed by Frederick Clark Withers (1821-1901) of New York. Withers was once a partner of Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead, working with them particularly on the architectural treatment of Central Park in New York City. The finn of Vaux and Withers renovated McClintock Hall in 1863. Weckesser Hall was designed in 1914 by Charles H.P. Gilbert (1860-1952), a residential architect from New York. Gilbert designed the house of Frank W. Woolworth, the main founder of the F.W. Woolworth Company. This fact probably explains why Frederick Weck ber of the Woolw lected Gilbert to home.

Everytlling goes astray when Lady Johna, performed by Jenny Hussey, schemes with Borachio, Kurt Reisinger. She plots against her brother Don Pedro by setting up Hero to appear as a cheating "wench," in the words of Claudio. Beatrice then tells Benedick he must face Claudio in a duel to the death. lavish style by ·ves at the estate However, Dogberry, the played bril- Master Constable, and his hench- By Leigh Rubin men detain Borachio in order to. make him admit to the plot against Don Pedro. This sequence is a salivating experience. Dogberry, comically portayed by Gunnar Waldman, and one of his watchmen have the distasteful habit of spitting in the face of everyone they encounter. The story builds to a climax of intriguing twists and turns. Director Carl Wagner is joined by scenic designer Joe Sheridan, lighting designer Greg Gazda, and stage manager Maura Mundy. All of these contributers displayed their talents throughout Much Ado. Other members of the cast included Rebecca Haywood as Antonia, Leonata's gracious sister. Chris Brunnock performed tile part of Margaret. The salivatating Watchmen of the Night were played by Roan Everett and Eoin Ennis. Verges was brought to stage by the acting of Tim Trach. Bridget O'Brien played Hero's waiting woman, Ursula, and Nick Humen portayed a Sexton. Much Ado About Nothing was masterfully performed in every aspect of the theatre. The acting, directing, and lighting were as sharp as the comic bite that was constant throughout the play. Th@ lID@lB@@)]). VOL.

We knew we were in The Jungle. Bright lights, the smoke of stogies, scattered programs and ticket stubs representing broken dreams littering the ground constituted the atmosphere. For those of you with some innocence left, The Jungle is the den of iniquity known as Pocono Downs. For those of you with a total naivete, it's a race track, a pony paradise, a horse haven. Get the picture? On Friday, September 30, three young Wilkes College stallions and an outsider privy to the ways of the wild danced with Lady Luck. For Jim Clark, Dave Kaszuba, Lee Morrell and Joe Welsko, it was the ritual of manhood. And a heck of a good time. If the track conditions of this tale seem a little fast--as our good friend Saul Needle, the public address announcer at the Downs might tell us--those with weak hearts (or thin wallets) might want to pull up. For the rest of you, "We're offl" We made our way to our destiny in an '84 Mustang, our first horse of the evening. Lady Luck struck early as we were accosted by two elderly gentlemen bearing free passes. "Zowie, it's got to j)e our night, baby," howled Kaszuba. "We can parlez those extra two clams into a fortune," Morrell chimed in. As we found our seats in the grandstand, Welsko noticed a " ... bevy o' babes parading around in short, red dresses." The stand. up posters which abounded satisfied our curiosity: "Roxanne Kernohan--two nights only." Roxanne Kernohan, the sultry dancer of the Genesee Cream Ale commercial, live and in person. And a look-alike contest to boot. Fate was indeed smiling on us. After purchasing the "Better For The Bettor in '88" program, we perused the prowess of the ponies. Post time for the first race was 7:30 p.m. It was closing in on 7:15. "Yeah," remarked Clark, "it's time to do the dirty deed. Let's hit the window, Lee." Kaszuba and Welsko decided to sit out the first running. With program in paw, horse in head and pesos in pocket, the two mavericks strode to window three. They turned to the lovely lady at the register and uttered in their most professional voices, "Byong Bill A--to place." Two dead presidents apiece on number four to finish first or second. Yeah, we were men now. Now the waiting game began, the perils of pressure. Clark and Morrell tried to sit, but it was physically impossible. They spun their lucky acorns and chanted "Place Cloud, place" as Saul finally began the proceedings. Wouldn't you know it, Byong Bill A (owned by Dr. Ken Klemow's cousin) won the ball of wax. The two gleeful winners cockily swaggered to the payoff window to collect their due. "It's the lucky acorn," Clark told the teller. "Yeah, it's the way we spin it," added Morrell. She confessed that she had never seen such a wacky method. "We'll be back," Clark confidently told her after he and Morrell laid cash on Silvery Cloud (number 6) to place in the second race. Kaszuba and Welsko heaped some green on a 4-6-2 triple and the foursome made its way to the rail. As Silvery Cloud began the last warmup tum, his partisans (Clark and Morrell) gave him a raucous cheer. Driver Jeff Wainwright waved to the passionate fools. At that point, the acorns were-a-spinning. Kaszuba and Welsko were more subdued, yet very confident. Come on, Saul. When the dust cleared at the finish line, Silvery Cloud had placed and the first three horses were 4-6-------8! Number two was a close fourth! A second faster and Kaszuba and Welsko would have cashed in on $118 hondos. As the two cringed in despair, thinking of what might have been, they looked scornfully at a jubilant pair sprinting for their payoff. When Clark and Morrell arrived back at the sacred betting hole, their fave teller cmHd hardly disguise her smile as they sported the acorns and winning tickets. "This is easy," remarked Clark. Morrell nodded in agreement as he scooped up the moola. Alas, it wasn't that easy. The foursome bet many more times, but Lady Luck had found another dancing partner. We tried everything, from exactas to triples to ditching the acorns. Nothing worked. For example, Clark bet on Classic Gene to show (at least third) in the fourth. The only thing he showed was a string of dung up and down the track as he finished dead last, about 40 seconds behind the leaders. Of particular frustration was the eighth race, the last one wagered on by the fab four. Clark and Morrell tabbed number five Billikens to win. The stud led the whole way, and died in the last twenty yards, crushing their dreams. Kaszuba's and Welsko's choice finished a distant fifth. A win would have meant a hefty profit, but by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor instead the four boys would each eat five dollars on the night. What saved the evening was meeting Roxanne, who signed a poster for each of us. Aftei the look-alike contest, she danced like in the commercial. Yeah, we're men now. As we made our way to Welsko's 'Stang, Kaszuba summed up the group's feelings. "Gentlemen," he said, "once you experience The Jungle, you're hooked.'; Whenever we see each other, "Hi" is no longer the greeting. It's "When's post time?" ~JL!1~§.Al .()§,.q,~JLA~JJ.,q-..q,'f&.,q-;J P(§ ~ // § § § / IJ tJ fl § § As you all know, this past weekend was Homecoming. There· § were may former Wilkes athletes back.

Many of last year's graduates were back to play for the Alumni. It looked like the players were having a lot of fun out there. I know it was fun to watch. The field hockey team had a nice turnout of Alumni for its game. This was an interesting game. The goalie for the Alumni team was none other then Rob Johansen. Johansen did a pretty good job for the Alumni as he only allowed one goal to be scored. Maria Saracino scored the only goal for the Alumni as the game ended in a 1-1 tie. § § § § ****** I Congratulations to Coach Unsworth and the football team on their fine performance in Saturday's Homecoming game. ****** § § The women's volleyball team did a great job in knocking off § FDU-Madison on Thursday night.

Hooters play tough, lose 2-0 by Andy Renner Beacon Sports Writer The Wilkes men's soccer team played a strong, disciplined Moravian College on Friday, to whom it lost 2-0. On Sat-urday during Homecoming fcsti-vities the Colonels played the annual Alumni game. Wilkes had a few opportunities to score on comer kicks early in the match against Moravian, but were unable to find the net. Kevin Tronkowski and the defense held tough in the first half until a goal scored by \1oravian off a cross. Wilkes played well enough to upset Moravian but, unfortunately, it did not happen. Moravian scored about seven minutes into the second half to seal a 2-0 victory. The Colonels played a lot of defense in this match and are starting to come together as a unit. On Saturday against the Alumni, the Wilkes squad scored early and often as Don "Swiss Cheese" Shaw was the brunt of the attack. Shaw gave up five goals off the first five shots. The Alumni started to make a comeback in the fun-filled match but fell short, 8-4. Paul "Chooch" Tavaglione, a spring 1988 graduate, came back to lead the Alumni attack. Goalkeeper Chris Arabis made some acrobatic saves late in the game to keep the Wilkes team ahead, . The team thanks the Alumni for coming back and giving it their best shot. The game was fun and entertaining for both players and spectators. The Colonels challenge Moravian for the ball in Friday's game.

'. It is a fifteen minute time frame in which the team with more moxie and desire finds a way to win. The Wilkes Colonels outscored Upsala 10-0 in the fourth quarter las't Saturday to pull out a 30-21 win · in front of 2,000 I l Homecoming fans at Ralston Field. It was a game the Colonels (2-3, 1-2 in the MAC) had to win to save the season. Although Upsala wasn't an MAC opponent, the win put the Colonels back on track and in a position to do some damage in the second half of the campaign. "We have five teams left on the schedule who are capable of beating us, and I think we are capable of beating them," said head coach Bill Unsworth. "If we continue to play well and play a whole game with intensity, we can beat anyone. The conference is tough." Was a 2-3 record expected at the midway point of the campaign? "We knew it was a distinct possibility," said Unsworth. "We've played three tough road •..... ·· ·.·. ' games, and we have two more left with Lebanon Valley, who's really improved, and Widener, who wants us bad. Anything can happen." Against Upsala, the ., ,. , .,.. Colonels used the running game } to perfection, as three running ( backs had productive days. Joe } Bednarski (13 carries, 152 yards, f ~ one touchdown), Courtney l: McFarlane (16-125) and Dean Ambosie (12-63-1) led a rushing attack which posted 19 of the Colonels' 22 first downs. i )· 'l~ifiili~iiilll.: :~1~;~ti~f;l; said Unsworth. "It was the same thing with Albright. We feel that if we run for 100 yards, we can win. That's not always the case, but it's our gameplan." Upsala opened the scoring with a 5-yard pass from quarterback Rob Wright to Roy Jarrett in the second quarter. The score capped a 3-play, 50-yard drive. Wilkes countered with a 20yard touchdown run by Joe Bednarski to knot the score at 77. "Bednarski gives us a spark," said Unsworth. "We have so many good backs, it's just the luck of the draw. Whether it's Courtney, Dean, Joe or our wingbacks, the potential for the big play is there." The Colonels had a chance to take a halftime lead, but senior wingback Jim Farrell dropped a sure touchdown pass. Mike Dungen just missed a 42-yard field goal and the score stayed the same at the half. "There was no excuse for Farrell dropping that pass," said Unsworth. "That was just a total lack of concentration. Sean told he threw it poorly, looking at the fil perfect pass." Upsala's Ed off a Sean Meagley the third quarter and 34 yards for a tou extra point was no Vikings led, 13-7. Meagley threw ceptions in the game for the year. But yet to panic.

When bad weather and a light turnout netted only 50 new student registrants as Indiana University in mid September, student Vice President Andy Potts, taking aim at his drive 's goal of 10,000 voters, commented, "only 9,950 more to go."

"If they are away from home, the logistics of registering may create difficulty. If they are not married, not homeowners, they don't feel a vested interest (in voting)," Carmichael added. Kerbel figures there's not much chance of getting students interested in registering, at least until "the World Series is over and the election is the only major sporting event in the country." "It's more of a challenge (to try to lure students to voti:lg booths) because the elections aren't exciting," conceded University of Oregon activist Karen Gaffney.

Harris added they do so in for higher education funding," persuaded Gina Olson, an Illinois State University sophomore from Palos Heights, Illinois to register. A registration drive at the University of Illinois' main Champaign-Urbana campus netted 1250 new student voters in one day in September. University of Oregon sophomore Cassie Curtis decided to register because she cared deeply about an initiative on the state ballot and because she wants "to prevent Bush from becoming president."

As a part-time rhetoric and composition teacher, I was very impressed by the power of Mr. Walsh's letter: its presentation of evidence from his point of view together with his compelling appeal made for a fine, effective piece of writing. As a simple human being, I was simply impressed by his courage. If Mr. Walsh alone benefits from this apparent! y lamentable state of affairs in the Croop controversy, perhaps Mr. Croop himself would say that all has not been lost I, too, John, saw much regrettable (if not repugnant) departmental in-fighting during my days as a student here at Wilkes, later at Penn State, then at the schools at which I've taught. ll destroyed my He agrees, Save Croop! To the Editor: After reading Mr. Walsh's letter in The Beacon concerning Mr. Croop, I felt compelled to write in support of Mr. Croop. I am appalled to learn about the denial of his tenure, especially since I have been a student in two of his classes. In both of these classes, Mr. Croop proved beyond a doubt to be a first-rate teacher. His instruction and mastery of the course material was thorough and at the end of the semester I and many of the other students all felt as though we naive, youthful zeal for what I had regarded, as a girl, as the spirit informing all institutions of higher learning. I once believed that that spirit had to be pure, eminently worthy of a young woman's or man's admiration and respect, irreproachable. ~ fuliel I made the very difficult decision last year to turn my back on a career in academics forever for many reasons, but one of those reasons was unquestionably a chronic nausea I had come to feel from watching men and women who preached their particular brand. of intellectual virtue from the lectern tear ~ach other apart in private destroy each other emotionally; saw the reeds of calumny via lies, gossip and innuendo that would destroy a man or woman's livelihood; encourage the backbiting that would keep a professor's spouse and children always on the edge of their seats wondering what catty, petty goings-on would ensue with the start of a new school year that could gradual! y ruin the security of their lives. It stinks, John. I'mnotna'ive(Icantellbyyour sensitivity and intelligence you're not, either). I didn't expect perfection, but in a career where intellectual precision is a requir;ment, it always came as a particular blow to often find such a corresponding lack of moral discipline. Keep your values intact, John they're very attractive and (ironically,perhaps)academic. Yourletter reminded me of a line from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in reference to the Clerk, a student "And gladly would he learn, and gladly teach." You see, what you're up against may very well be, simply put, a sin. That word has lost its power in the 20th century, so let me repeat it: sin. had really learned something. In either class I cannot recall any student ever making a negative remark about Mr. Croop, including those who were not doing well in the class, which is rather exceptional. Another equally unfortunate situation would be the loss of Prof. Rose Cordora, whom I also found to be an excellent teacher. For Wilkes College to lose teachers of such outstanding caliber would be a great deprivation to both present and future Wilkes students. With all the recent publicity and attention focused on Fortinsky Hall, it would be most appropriate if outstanding teachers such as Mr. Croop and Prof. Cordora would continue to be a part of the faculty of the School of Business and Economics. In conclusion, I urge those at Wilkes who have the power to rectify this tragic situation to do so before Wilkes College loses two of its finest teachers. One Woman's View Sincerely, .\/ e mber of t he To the Editor: I am writing in response to the person who protested Tony Veatch' s weekly column, "One man's view .. . . " I feel that Mr. Veatch has a talent for taking everyday campus observations and blending them with a bit of his own dementia, creating the funniest column to grace The Beacon' s pages in years. His satire is reminiscent of National Lampoon, Saturday Night Live, and SCJV, all of which are extremely popular with college students. I do believe that Mr. Veatch (along with Thad, of course) is in the process of building a cult following! I also believe that the column is meant to entertain and is not meant ot be read as hard-fact "(yellow) journalism." What's the matter with a "fairy tale" if it keeps us chuckling, anyway? I hope that "One man' s view .. . " will remain a part of The Beacon 's pages and that the witty pen of Mr. Veatch will not be dulled by the unfounded cries of "libel." Just because the "view" of"one man" is not the view of all, its merit is not lessened. Signed, "One Worn~•~ yie,\\'." Sincerely, Hilary Palencar Wilkes '78, History d,, o c ,aTeo Th@ lID@@©@~ VOL.

The day-long schedule of activities featured several seminars and a software fair in the Stark Learning Center Lobby. Those who attended were teachers in school districts served by the WilkesRCRC. The seminars that were attended by the entire group featured such topics as writing effective grant proposals. Participants were also able to choose from several mini-seminar topics held in the RCRC labs, including MacSchool, a seminar about software for school administrators conducted by General Computer; and the AppleShare network, showing how to increase productivity through a network of computers conducted by an Apple Computer representative. The highlight of the conference for many was the software fair, where various software vendors displayed new products aimed at mak- ing learning and teaching more exciting. Popular software and educational supply vendors such as Mindscape, Houghton-Mifflin, and General computer were represented. This year's conference was coordinated by Barbara Deay, a graduate assistant in the Education Department/RCRC, as well as Dr. Joseph Bellucci, Director of the RCRC, and Dr. Barbara Bellucci, Director of Microcomputer Education at the RCRC.

I glanced up from my weapon to see the soft furriness of a deer staring at me with blank, emotionful eyes.

At the end of the month, the cab company would turn all the social security numbers into BACCHUS . The members of BACCHUS would then verify those numbers on a numerical list of the social security numbers of all students at Wilkes. There would be absolutely no names involved and absolutely no way for family, friends, or the administration to find out which students need the service. On Tuesday, October 18, 1988, this proposal was approved by the College, so all that is left is to arrange a contract with the cab company. Last year, the company agreed to the idea, but no formal contracts have been drawn up as of yet. In addition, since Monday Night Football is tradionally a "male" pastime, BACCHUS is hoping to sponsor a self-defense course for women, with a special emphasis on how to deal with a drunken male attacker. One thing BACCHUS members want to avoid doing is having lectures. It is their opinion th~t students are bored to death by people continuously harping at them that alchohol and drugs are "bad" and how "good" people don't use them. The club feels that most students are aware of the dangers and that they -would benefit more from being offered alternate entertainment and ways to drink responsibly. This is not condoning drinking. But it is also not declaring that alchohol should be banned. Let's face it. This is a college campus, and, like a majority of college campuses, there is a fair to large amount of alcoholic consumption taking place. Why then would an organization like BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) want to set itself up at a place like Wilkes College? What do they think this is? The Prohibition or something? Actually, the purpose of BACCHUS is not to promote an alcohol free campus, and it's definitely not to promote prohibition. BA_CCHUS is a group that believes in awareness in drinking, not abstinance. According to one BACCHU -"1Ilember, Sue Auch-Schwelk, "BACCHUS promotes responsible drinking and wants to make students aware of what alcohol can do to them." BACCHUS began when, after a drinking-related accident occured in Pickering Hall a few years ago, Sharon Froude wondered whether there was anything similar to the high school group, SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk), available to college students. After doing a great deal of research, she learned about a nationwide group catled BACCHUS. She sent for information and soon founded a chapter here at Wilkes. For a relatively new student organization, BACCHUS already has several projects going and/or in the planning stages. First, there w_ere the activities during National Alcohol Awareness Week: activities such as "A Drink with the Deans" and "Win, BACCHUS president Sharon Lose or D:aw." BACCHUS also Froude, its advisors, Mark sponsors Monday Night Football Sowcik ·and Mary Supey, and all on the widescreen television. the members are very dedicated Right now, the biggest to the idea of an alcohol safe camproject in the works for BAC- pus.

The way the deities related and behaved toward each other was probably what the Indian people considered proper behavior among the castes. By studying these myths we can begin to piece together the origins and expressions of beliefs and customs- both sociological and individual- that the ancient Indian people professed and perhaps are still being used. A new pantheon of gods gradually replaced the gods of the Rig-Veda. The chief divinity was now the Brahman, or supreme worldspirit. The Brahman can take on may forms. The most important forms are Brahma, the creator; V ishau, the preserver; and Shiva, the destroyer. These three divinities make up the Trimurti, or "three forms." These three forms are also incorporated into the three principal moments of the cosmos: creation, maintenance, and destruction. The universe is viewed as a giant sphere, or a "cosmic egg," where creation is the act of breaking forth from the egg, or more specifically from the fertility of the egg, which holds the potential for all human life. Brahma created the universe and also proclaimed the fourVeda. The uniqueness of this first creation belongs to Brahma, but since time is viewed as cyclical (and also degenerative) the role of Brahma is limited. Vishnu maintains the social order of the universe. He punishes those who threaten the harmony of the cosmos. When this universal order, or dharma, is upset on earth, Vishnu departs from the heavens, takes on the form of one of his nine incarnations, or Avatar, and restores the order. Shiva is the god of destruction, or more specifically u11tamed wildness. He represents the unpredictability of divinity. When the time is right, he will perform a dance upon the universe and destroy it, but he will also be the creatorof the new "golden age." He is the god who sees insight beyond duality, represented by his third eye. Both Vishnu and Shiva are very complex deities. They represent the two different ethics of Hinduism: one which thrives on the social order of dharma; the other which longs to find a release from order (Moksha), and a release from the perpetuality of reincarnation- a release from samsara. The Hindu philosophy of reincarnation is an important one. Time is cyclical; life is cyclical. The human soul leaves the dead body and is reborn in the body of another human, animal, vegetable, or mineral. This process of activity and rebirth is an endless one. The state in which the soul is reborn is determined by the soul's karma- the accumulation of the soul's merits and demerits as a result of its actions. This philosophy of regeneration has also found its way into scientific theory and hypothesis concerning cosmology, such as the Oscillating Universe theory. This theory begins like the Big Bang theory, with the hypothesis of an initial primordial mass exploding and mat- Yvonne Tranell Floral Designer Proprietor 109 S.

Epilogue: It is difficult not to judge another culture and its beliefs. It is important, though, to try to remain relativistic in your nature and to see things not as good or bad, but as different.

Contrary to this recommendation, Moonstruck was denied WIN eligibility. As a result, the students playing were denied attendance points. The WIN board met with Andrew Morrell at the beginning of this sememster to seek his cooperation in making Programming Board events a part of the overall competition. At this meeting he expressed continued support and asked us if it would be possible to make all Programming events WIN eligible. Last Saturday evening, the Progrramming Board's presentation of Moonstruck was not WIN (Wilkes Intracollege Network) eligible due to the indecisiveness of that organization.

The Redskins are about to set up for a 45 yard field goal attempt The Bears lead the Skins 27-26," explains Pat Summerall, pro football analyst for CBS sports. "John, will you come here?!"exclaims my girlfriend. "Just a minute dear," I reply. "What's more important, that stupid football game or me?"she snaps back. . Every die-hard football fan has entertained this question at least once in his lifetime, and every die-hard has ignored this question at least once, twice, or even three or four hundred times in a lifetime. Football is like a religion to the man of the house. . It is a sin to the woman of the home or even the girlfriend of the dorm. It is true that football has no real bearing on the plight of the world, but it helps to keep a person's mind off the depressing elements in our society. Football games kick off every Sunday and Monday for sixteen weeks in the fall. That's just sixteen out of fifty-two weeks in the year. Why do women, or girlfriends as in my case, have such a hard time understanding a man's passion for watching football? All that we ask is that on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights we be able to sit down, relax, and watch an entertaining sports event. Women should take some time out and listen to the particular man in their life about why he loves football. I'll tell you a little story about my introduction to the sport and a woman's growth or developing love for football, · particularly my mother. I was about seven years old and an influential little tyke. My father would be sitting in front of the T.V. acting . like a madman. Cheering, yelling, waving his fists as if he were threatening the set at times. There I am, little John-John, associating my father's actions with the action taking place on the tube. There were two sets of men wearing two different uniforms of varying color ramming into each other. I had no idea what was going on at this age. I had the football mind my girlfriend possesses today. I payed special attention to team colors and uniforms like a lot of non-educated football females. However, I didn't pick a favorite team by virtue of their team colors. I went with the hometown team, the Washington Redskins. For the next six years my father and I created a football inferno for my mother. During the years from 1973-1979 Redskin mania would sweep rampant through our household. Every Sunday in the fall was colored maroon and yellow (Redskin colors). My mother would be upstairs hearing either screams of joy or yells of frustration from the basement laboratory below. She never knew who was going to come upstairs after a game. Would it be a pair of Jekylls or a pair of Hydes? It all depended on whether the Redskins won or lost. During this six-year period my mother had little knowledge and little affection for the sport. Then 1979 arrived. I was at the peak of my passion for football. I still loved the Redskins at this time, however, I had a peculiar change of heart. I had always felt sorry for the underprivledged people in the world, and I extended this feeling towards pitiful teams in the National Football League (NFL). The team I took notice of was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs were a new football team, in the league since 1976. They had a combined three-year record of 7 wins and 37 losses. However, in October of '79, they started out with a 4-0 record. I took them under my wing as my new team, along with the Skins. My mother and father thought it was a fad for a couple of weeks. It was now January of 1980. Tampa was in the playoffs and I was still into the Bucs. My mother took notice of this new love I developed. She developed a love for watching me be happy when my team would win. She also loved to comfort me after they would lose, I think. She would listen to me rant and rave over the mistakes my team made during a loss. A shocking transformation occurred in my mother in the years to follow. She actually started watching parts of the Redskin and Buccaneer games. In 1982 she watched her first full 60 minutes of football when the Redskins played the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII. The Redskins won and my house was profusely packed with pandemonium. In the years to follow my mother watched more and more .......... Beacon at the Movies Halloween IV drips boringly in gore . by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor In the tradition of the Friday the 13th series comes Halloween IV the Return of Michael Myers, unfortunately. Blood and gore infest the screen as well as amateur cinematography, lackluster acting, and a deplorable script that John Carpenter would shun He directed Halloween and produced Halloween II. I can't help but feel that he is furious over what director Dwight H. Little has done with the story of Michael Myers in Halloween IV. The first film was a modem day classic, while Halloween II was a satisfying and suspensful sequel. In selling the rights for the Halloween series Carpenter must have made huge killings like Michael Myers did in Halloween IV. In the first two films Michael Myers terrorized the small town of Haddenfield. In Halloween IV he returns to the town in search of 10 year-old Jamie Strode, who is the daughter of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis from Halloween I and II )and his niece. The only things that stand in his way are the townspeople -- no problem, chicken feed! The shape, as Myers is also known, takes on three and four men at a time without losing a slash or a step while pecking away at them as if they're helpless seeds of prey. More than once the results of Myers attacks are graphic much to the likes of Jason's assaults in Friday the 13th. Donald Pleasance reprises the role of Dr. Loomis, Michael's shrink from the previous films. His acting salvages what destruction the rest of the cast left him to smolder in. Hopefully Pleasance will get another chance someday to work with Carpenter on a Halloween remake, but don't hold your breath. It would appear that the Galaxy company, who currently holds the rights to the series, intends to produce sequel after horrid sequel. Hopefully they will get a creative director, cinematographer, and scriptwriter to revive the series. Four writers were used during the plotting of the Halloween IV script. It appears like one writer got sick of writing and passed the pen on, and then that writer passed it on, football.

This was not just for a vacation but to study abroad. In a study abroad program a student has the opportunity to study in a foreign country for the fall, spring, summer or the year. While abroad, credits can still be earned toward major requirements and graduation. There are hundreds of programs and schools to choose from in over thirty countries, each with its unique combination of curriculum, living arrangements, and extra-curricular activities. What Wilkes offers is counseling to help choose the program best suited to a student's needs. However, the student must apply to the program and be accepted on his or her own merits. To study abroad, a Wilkes student must have at least a 2.5 GPA, and should start preparing for his overseas studies in his sophomore year. Jeff Eline, a senior telecommunications major, studied last semester at the City of London Polytechnic in England. "I wanted to aquire an internship in England because the BBC and the London commercial systems are among the best in the world," stated Jeff. Jeff worked at an internship three days a week and took classes two days a week. He learned how to build a satellite system and worked on commercials for Sony and Lloyds of London Bank. He also helped with . a new pop · music show called Wired that links New York with London and will be airing on the USA network. It was during this show that Jeff met Peter Gabriel, Run DMC, Joni Mitchell, and Chrissy Hinds. Jeff was very impressed with the educational system at City Poly, although he said it was a bit more demanding than what he was used to. "In London some classes last one day a week, but all day long.

Some stay in houses with other American students, as Jeff and Wendy did. Others stay in dorms with foreign students, or live with a family willing to open its home to a student. In some programs students must find their own apartments or other accommodation. Last year five students from Wilkes were involved in study abroad programs. In the upcoming spring semester there is a Wilkes student planning to study in England, another in France, and Italy is expecting a Wilkes guest in the summer.

Wilkes Homes Wilkes remodel by Tom Obrzut Beacon Staff Writer half story Greek Revival house. It consisted of an interior arrangement of a side hall and two tandem parlors. The home was enlarged twice before 1870 and again about 1900, creating the picturesque villa quality of the exterior. The renovations to Kirby Many homes built on the Wilkes campus have been renovated over the years to suit the changing tastes and life styles of the occupants. The most striking example of remodeling is Weiss Hall, located on South River Street. . Albert Kipp (1850-1906) was the architect commissioned to remodel the S .L. Brown Hc'lle, present-day Weiss Hall. Kipp architecturally transformed this Greek Revival Home, erected about 1850, into a Queen Anne style building in the late 1800s. The Queen Anne style elements are found in the comer tower and in the classical motif of the Paladian window set in the gable end of the roof. Kipp used local blue stone for the tower and entry hall. This blue stone is a standard material for Wilkes-Barre's Queen Anne styled homes. Weiss Hall is currently one of the best examples of Queen Anne style in Wilkes-Barre. McClintock and Kirby Halls were also extensively altered. Built around 1841, McClintock Hall was- originally a two-and-a- McOintock Hall, built in 1841, .ba ance.

Pitchers John Franco (39 saves, 1.57 ERA), Danny Jackson (23-8, 2.73) and Jose Rijo (13-8, 2.39) were among the best in the league. What's keeping this team in the second slot? If Rose can't provide the answer this season, he probably won't get another opportunity to do so. The San Diego Padres (83-78, 11.5 games out) responded to manager Jack McKeown after he replaced the oppressive Larry Bowa. Tony Gwynn (.313, 7, 70) won another batting title and Carmelo Martinez (.236, 18, 65) stuck in his usual, surprising production. However, John Kruk (.241, 9, 44) and Benito Santiago (.248, 10, 46) fell off considerably. Look for Santiago to go to the Mets in the aforementioned deal. Dennis Rasmussen (16-10, 3.43), Eric Show (16-11, 3.26) and Andy Hawkins (14-11, 3.35) anchored a solid rotation. Mark Davis (2.01 ERA) is a blossoming relief star. The surest bet in baseball was the San Francisco Giants (82-79, 12.5 games out), according to the experts. Brett Butler (.287, 6, 43) gave them a leadoff hitter and Will Clark (.282, 29, 109) played to his awesome potential, but Roger Craig's lauded pitching staff finished a disappointing sixth in the league in ERA (3.39) and Candy Maldonado (.255, 12, 68) came back down to earth. What the Giants need is a catcher. Gary Carter? Hmm ... The Houston Astros (82-80, 13 games out) faded in the heat of the pennant drive faster than Michael Dukakis' lead in the polls, a predicament that caused the dismissal of Hal Lanier. Slugger Glenn Davis (.271, 30, 99) and Rafael Ramirez (.276, 6, 59) carried their share at the plate, but Kevin Bass (.255, 14, 72) and Billy Hatcher (.268, 7, 52) didn't. The famed "Dalton gang" pitching staff apparently didn't scuff the sphere enough, as Mike Scott (14-8, 2.92) wasn't as dominant as in the past, and Bob Knepper (14-5, 3.14) disappeared after a fast start. It seemed like the Astros just lost interest down the stretch. When Dale Murphy (.226, 24, 77) has his worst year of the decade, one would figure the Atlanta Braves (54-106, 40 games out) would be in deep trouble. Give GM Bobby Cox time. Gerald Perry (.300, 8, 74), a product of the Braves' system, ended years of potential with an outstanding campaign. Pete Smith (7-15, 3.69) is a future 20-game winner. Cox acquired the unhappy Jody Davis (.229, 6, 33) from Chicago to nurture the young pitching staff. Three years, and the Braves are contenders. Book it! The American League will be covered in a future column. In the meantime, I'm off to Atlanta to get an early scouting report on the Braves. Remember, only 106 days until pitchers and catchers have to report! As a well informed student of Wilkes College, I have many questions regarding WIN (Wilkes Intracollege Network), the newly formed substance awareness game. As an active member of many successful campus organizations I want to give WIN a chance to succeed. As a commuter, I was not addressed in a residence hall about the WIN program. After asking many Commuter Council students about WIN's address to their organization, I was still told that WIN's goals and how they were to be met are still unclear. People on C.C. are still not sure ofWIN's role in campus activities. This left me perplexed. After informally speaking with other students on campus, it was suggested that we (the students) hold an open forum so that students such as myself could ask questions. The TV Club members immediately rose to the occasion. They set up the Forum and asked WIN if they would participate. Dr. Garr, WIN'sadvisor, thought it was an excellent idea; one to inform more students about WIN. The TV Club told WIN they would set everything up, but it was up to WIN to publicize the event. The only publicity for the Forum was an ad in The Beacon ... and that was put in by the TV Club. For an organization that wants to inform students, they sure have an unusual way of going about it. The Forum was held on Tuesday, October 18. I found out some information, but we were restricted to one half hour. I left with more questions than I entered with, as did others. WIN states that students who sign up with a contract get WIN points for coming to certain WIN eligible events. Members within · certain organizations wanted to know how WIN planned on going about this social aspect since it's the members of other organizations doing all of the preparations and execution of events. Students in the Programming Board wanted to know when a representative of WIN was going to speak to the them. On Friday, Oct. 21, at the WIN Advisory Board Meeting, WIN told Andy Morrell, Chairman of the Programming Board, that Moonstruck was a WIN eligible event. Andy, acting on behalf of the Board, told WIN that this was the first that he, or anyone from the Programming Board, had heard of the arrangement and before he could consent to their wishes he would have to present this to the entire Programming Board. The only members of the Programming Board that knew anything about WIN wanting to make Programming events WIN eligible are those such as myself that went out of their way to become informed. Most of the general board doesn't even know what WIN is, due to lack of publicity from WIN. Some of the executive Board members just found out about WIN and their prospective role in campus activities. Mr. Morrell may have been harsh in his presentation of these facts, but how can we as a Programming Board give WIN the right to decision on a whim if they want to have an event to to be WIN eligible. The Programming Board puts on 30 shows a semester. With this many shows we have to be extremely organized. Friday's meeting telling Andy that WIN would like to have Moonstruck eligible, was a day before the event was to go off. I don't know how WIN stuctures itself, but being a three year member of Programming I can assure you that to have a successful does prepare for an e the previous day. from when a member the movie to tell stu no longer WIN eligi one to tell. No one the game showed up. cause they didn't evea was WIN eligible.

Arabis provided a very good game in the net. Wilkes tied Allentown 1-1. Renner scored in the second half off of yet another throw in for the third time in three games. Wilkes held on to the lead until 20 minutes left in the game. The teams went into overtime where Arabis made a great save on a breakaway by Allentown. "Bis" came out of the net and just ate up the ball and the player. Wilkes ended up with a tie as their record went to 6-7-2. Wilkes' next home game is Saturday against Susquehanna.

To The Students, The weight room in Weckesser Annex has been closed until further notice. The reason for the closing is simple: lack of responsibility demonstrated by the students. For example, not returning the weights to their proper place, breaking a $3000.00 machine by misuse and basically abusing the equipment. I know the facilities are not the most adequate. However, until the new gym is completed we must make due. I am merely asking for a certain amount of maturity to be shown in the weight room. There is no reason whatsoever for there to be paper on the floor, tobacco spit in the comer etc... The apathy found in the weight room by its patrons . is unexcusable.

"It was like a dream," he said. Tinseltown and the rest of the nation agree, George. The Dodgers winning a world title was just a dream back in April, according to the hallowed pundits of the game. Not enough offense, too little defense they contended. A man named Orel Hershiser was enough, as we all found out. Another thing that we found out was that the pundits can be wrong, w_hich is not an unusual discovery. Just what happened to the San Francisco Giants, guys? And the Astros?

' •• t �Wilkes College October 27, 1988 Wilkes-Barre, PA Vol. XLI 18766 No. 7 hit a "Valle • 1n a row By Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor 13 A "good news-bad news" situation now exists for Bill Unsworth's Colonels (2-5, 1-4 in the MAC). The good news is the fact that three games remain, two of them at the cozy confines of Ralston Field. A chance to salvage the season is there for the taking. The bad news is that those three games feature the top teams in the MAC (Widener, Juniata and Lycoming) as Colonel opponents. And after consecutive losses to Delaware Valley, 29-18, and Lebanon Valley, 35-14, in corrsecutive contests, the Colonels aren't exactly peaking. Two themes were evident in Delaware Valley's triumph over Wilkes at Ralston Field on Saturday, October 15. For the Aggies, it was a strong running game. The Colonels, on the other hand, endured an afternoon of missed opportunities. Sandone numerous scoring chances, the Colonels were only able to put three points on the board in the first half. Linebacker Joe Daches recovered Delaware Valley quarterback Tim . Ford's fumble at the Aggie 16 yard line, but Wilkes was forced to settle for a 36-yard field goal by Mike Dungen. The freshman's sixth field goal of the season tied the Wilkes record The Aggies added a 34-yard touchdown run by Ford in the second quarter to make the halftime score 22-3, Delaware Valley. A seven-play, 55-yard Delaware Valley drive, capped off by a 5-yard touchdown run by Albany, put the score at 29-3 and out of reach for the Colonels. Meagley had a good second half as Wilkes closed the gap with two touchdowns. A nineplay, 66-yard drive ended with a l3-yard touchdown strike from Meagley lo Stevens.

Prior to the lecture, an informal discussion of women's issues with Dr. Tong was held in the Annette Evans Alumni House. The discussion, which was open to anyone interested but geared to a female audience, presented an open forum for topics that those attending wanted to discuss. Tong, whose lecture was titled "Reproductive Ethics and Women's Issues," spoke about the social and legal implications of contracted motherhood, known more commonly as surrogate motherhood. She concentrated her discussion on partial surrogacy, when a woman is artificially inseminated and carries a baby for a couple that pays her to do so. It "has become a real legal issue," she said. See Tong page 5 Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States and currently a Distinguished Professor at Emory [GA] University, conducted a student press conference at the Associated College Press/College Media Advisers in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday, October 27. Carter's opening remarks focused on the role of college newspapers. "It's significant that you have a convention of this intensity of interest and this large a crowd," he said. "Journalism, in all its aspects, is a very high and important profession." Carter also spoke of the change he has seen in the professionalism of collegiate journalism over the years. "There's been a coming of age in the quality and incisiveness of the publications on college campuses," he said. "The papers have become innovative, valuable sources of information for the entire society. "College papers have had a measured impact on the world's consciousness." A native Georgian, Carter, 69; welcomed the delegation to Atlanta and voiced his hopes for the future of college newspapers. "College publications have demanded a high element of freedom," he said, "but at the same time, I know there is and will be an intense committment to be responsible, set standards of precise investigation and accurate reporting, and maintain high moral and ethical standards." Before Carter fielded students' questions, he quipped that they would be better than those asked by the White House press corps. Most of the inquiries dealt with the upcoming presidential election. Carter revealed his disgust with the negative nature of the race to this point. "Of all the political campaigns I've witnessed in my adultlife,thisone has reached the lowest standard of accuracy, substance and moral and ethical content," he said.

The first, penned by The Beacon 's editorialist(" A rational voice?" Sept. 29), resorted to personal attacks against me, insinuating that I am not a "rational voice" and that I "force-feed" my criticism. Unfortunately, the writer was more intent on hurting me than he was on examining the issues I raised. In addition he displayed such a poor command of English that it was difficult to take him seriously. The second response came from Norma Schulman-which was surprising since she was on leave when officials at Wilkes College permitted it to do so in such a crass and vulgar manner is dismaying. Wouldn't a modest machine in the lobby of the Stark Learning Center, perhaps near the food dispensary units, have been sufficient and given students access at all hours?

Surplus tax dollars well spent, folks. After having been offered the complimentary mango-scented wheat crackers and imported pork rinds, we found out what these two characters were here for. It seems that, as Mike was visiting the spacious laboratories of Wilkes College, his eyebrows were singed by a bunsen burner, and he was waiting for them to heal before appearing in public again. Lloyd quickly changed the subject and complimented me on the beige duck suit I had slipped on earlier. Just as Lloyd began discussing his dedication to the Gay American Indian Bureaus throughout this great ~and of ours, a dwarflike man appeared in the doorway. His shape was greatly distorted, for he wore the costume of 6 giant piece of pita bread.

Mike rested on the corduroy couch beside us, and once again I heard comments about my famous beige duck suit. He quickly turned from subject to subject, from defense to farm animal molesting to abortion to granola trail mix and back to that beige duck suit of mine. As Lloyd was busy on the mechanical bull, Mike repeatedly offered, in a pleading tone, to allow us to ride with him in a tank on a television commerical. Though a picture of a beige duck, saucy French maid and an eyebrowless, muppetlike person all perched on a tank probably would not hurt his campaign, I thought it best he find someone else for the job. Nevertheless, I was impressed by' this statuesque father figure. Little did I know that while we cof!versed with the overage Lloyd, Mike had been occupied upstairs in the world famous, yet widely unknown Personality Room. It was in this room that countless robed men and women went to work quickly and dedicatedly on the Democrat.

Nov. 0. tffl The Student Activities Center has been considering the idea of putting a non-alcoholic pub in the basement of Conyngham Student Center. There have been suggestions to have an alcoholic pub, but through research we have found that this is not feasible due to the liability, costs, and the lack of a college liquor license. Also, an alcoholic pub does not guarantee that alcohol consumption will stay on the Wilkes College campus. For example, commuters will have to drive home, and residents who drink at the pub and "card" everyone. Obviously the pub would only benefit students over twenty-one. This defeats the pub's purpose, which is to provide a non-exclusive student activity. There are positive aspects of a non-alcoholic pub. The pub will bring more activity into the Student Center and could provide more on-campus jobs for students. The SUB is considering the idea of having non-alcoholic beverages (virgin drinks and non-alcoholic beer), food (pizza, burgers, fries, nachos, etc.), and entertainment (DJ's, bands, comedians). The basement does have the necessary facilities for a non-alcoholic pub; however, before any research is continued, the Student Activities would like your opinion.

A student referred to the presidential election process as "the longest job interview in the world" and asked if it was too long and costly and if the press' thorough coverage of candidates was unfair. "The process isn't excessive," said Carter. "Remember, it's voluntary. It gives the candidate a chance to learn about the country he wants to lead and gives the nation's people an opportunity to get to know the candidate. "I don't think the press should hold back. The character of a person who wants to be president should be open and known. "The minimum standards for a president should be competence, compassion and truthfulness." Carter explained his influence on a project titled American Agenda, which will be presented to the next president. "This is a package of issues that can't possibly avoided," he said. "I can't get into specifics, but they will have to be dealt with on a bipartisan basis, and it will take political courage to address them. "fFormerl Presi~ent Gerald Ford and 150 expert American leaders, most of whom served in previous presidential administrations, are working in conjunction with me on this." What is Carter's impression of the changing Soviet Union? "This is an exciting time," he said. "Mikhail Gorbachev is a Soviet leader unlike one we've ever seen before. There's some real, positive change going on there. For example, religious freedom is growing. - "My philosophy is to cooperate with the Soviets whenever possible, and compete with them whenever necessary." Carter, who said his goal since he was a young man was to become a college professor, founded the Carter Center at Emory University. • Wil1 The newest addition to the Wilkes campus is a Mac new machine is locate.cl between the SUB and the Alu Easy money lac lY.I.. ii lachz·ne n·ses on ca ii lY.l..1 i by Susan Borthwick Beacon Assistant News Editor by a board mem them.

Its many myths are most likely based upon the enhancing and refining of earlier Jewish and Greek myths and legends. These myths have had a significant influence on the creation and establishment of Western beliefs and customs. There are three major types of interpretations of Christian myth: historical, psychoanalytical, and existential. The historical (or history of religious interpretation) says that myths are sacred stories, or the breaking through of the supematural into the world in the form of a story. By reenacting the sacred story at a sacred time and participating in it through ritual (e.g. the Lord's supper on Holy Thursday) will enable the believer to understand his origins and his place in the world. The psychoanalytical interpretation views myth in symbolic terms. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst, viewed myth as a depiction of the unconscious archetypes, or the innate tendencies to form symbolic images. These The Existential interpretalion views myth as a form of expression by which man understands himself. The imagery of myth is taken from this spacialtemporal world of cause and effect as opposed to the timeless.transcendent, spiritual world of God. The world of man is qualitatively different and contradictory to the world of God. Therefore, we should reinterpret Christian myths in terms of man's existence. · Christian myth seeks to reveal an insight or to describe a truth about the human condition. It does so in a metaphysical sense. It goes beyond the apprehension and comprehension of facts--its manner is substantiated by the senses (remember, there is not one shred of empirical evidence for the existence of God}. The imagination must be used in order to communicate properly these concepts. Christianity arose during the middle of the Hellenistic period and was greatly influenced by the contemporary Greek and Near Eastern cultures and, of course, mental forms help us understand the mythologies of those culthe human condition, both indi- tures. vidually and culturally.

These four ages parallel the four ages described in Iranian mythology as told by the prophet Zoroaster in the 7th century B.C. Both tell of a struggle in finite time between good and evil, a saviour, a Last Judgement, and a new world. The battle between Christ and the AntiChrist is also similiar to the struggle between Ormazd and Ahriman in Iranian mythology.

I turned over and looked at my clock; it glared an obnoxious ".6:04" (the dot signifying a.m.) at me. I spat a tirade of equally obnoxious four letter lyrics at this singing sleep killer. After a minute of internal debate, I arose feeling very strange. I couldn't explain the odd feeling that dominated my being. All I could remember was falling asleep while watching the Olympics on NBC. I was "proud as a peacock" at the way our volleyballers played against the Soviet Union. Anyway, I fell asleep watching TV and I awoke feeling goofy; with me so far? I rolled down the steps and attempted to make a nutritious breakfast. After pouring a glass of "Florida's finest" into my Smurf emblazoned "Dixie cup" and a trip to the cabinet to pick out a cereal that would suit my needs for that particular day (I chose to "go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" because of the high caffeine level, hoping it would wake me up), I filled the bowl with something to "do my body good." Tha was followed with some "good to the last drop" java. At that point, I started to become dizzy. "It's nothing," I said. It felt kinda like deja vu. "It's nothing," I repeated After eating, I strolled up the stairs and into the bathroom and began to prepare myself for what seemed to be the longest day in creation. I stepped into the shower, grabbed my soap and proceeded to become "Zestfully clean." I also "built up the body of my hair" with my tube of green wonder hair cleaner. I stepped out of the shower and dried off, grabbed my "professionally designed, built to reach those back teeth" toothbrush and made my teeth "as white as they can be." I then dragged the "best disposable razor money can buy" across my "rich lather" covered face. After dabbing my face with a towel "made from 100% cotton," and making my armpits feel "confident and secure," I went back to my bedroom. I began to dress and, once again felt that dizzy feeling wave over my body. It subsided as I pulled on my "inspected by #12" underwear. I dressed completely and sat down to prepare my feet for a sneaker "revolution." I entrapped my feet in their "all horsehide" coffin and bounded down the steps. As I fumbled with my car keys, I gazed heavenward and noticed a silver bug streaking across the sky. I saluted those brave souls who were "flying the friendly skies" and continued with the business at hand. I put the key in the door of my "precision crafted German road machine" and sat down to "experience the feel of the open road." As I buzzed over the freeway, my mind began to drift. I was going back lo that dizzy feeling of earlier this morning. This time it came with a headache. "Damit," I said, "I haven't got time for the pain." So, I popped a few aspirins and continued on my way to work. I arrived al the office and pumped a few coins into the old soda machine so I could get a taste of "the real thing." I grabbed my soda, went into my office and began to pound away at my "user friendly, word powerful" computer/word processor. As I did this visions of dancing raisins and singing bran flakes and that annoying song about those fruit drinks--you know, the commercial with the marathon runner--permeated my thoughts. I blacked out at my desk for what must have been hours, because when I woke up it was dusk out. There was a note on my screen that said, "When you wake up, you're fired!" I gulped down two more aspirins, swished my soda around my mouth and swallowed that depressing swallow. At that time I decided that "the night belonged to Michelob;" and so did I. I left the office and rumbled down the side steps, unwilling to deal with the elevator that promises "they will always let me down." I found my "specifically tuned" road hog and aimed at the closest watering hole. I • opened the door and entered the smoke filled room. I inched my way through the wall to wall people and settled myself on a stool next to a very attractive woman. "What's the matter, Brown Eyes?" she queried.

I think she noticed my "ring around the collar." "Gotta go, good luck with those spots," she said. I looked up at the bartender and said in my best Australian accent, "'Gimme a nip of the smooth refresher."' He said, "Haven't you has enough, buddy?"

Soon-to-be ''Dr.'' Wachter One of the great things about doing interviews with new teachers, is that you get to see how really enthusiastic about working with the students they are. One perfect example of this enthusiasm is Lowse Wachter, the new education professor at Wilkes College. Bloomsburg University and Penn State University. · Wachter teaches future teachers strategies for instructing, primarily reading. Her theory is that we "need to teach students stategies to become better readers." Student teachers are taught how to communicate these strategies to their students. At Wilkes, she has become involved with the Education club, functioning as one of their The soon-to-be "Dr." Wachter is "all for the students." And is extremely excited to see students going out and getting involved in various things. Wachter received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, at Kutztown State College which then became Kutztown University. Since then, she received a Master of Education from Kutztown UniverShe has, however, sity in Elementary Counseling sponsors. made certain that the students are and Guidance, and a Master of .

Prior to coming to Wilkes, Wachter taught classes in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades as well as classes at two other colleges, fessional wrestling; travel (she has been to Europe, Hawaii, California, Las Vegas, and all across the Eastern Seaboard); craftwork (she likes knitting and such}; cooking; and teaching. She says, "... teaching is fun for me .. .I am both energetic and enthusiastic about teaching .. .it is a career and a hobby for me." Community service also plays a big part in Wachter's life. She works as a consultant for the State Department of Education, traveling across the state evaluating the reading programs in various schools, and working at teacher in-service days. Wachter is also involved with the Keystone State Reading Association and is the president elect of the 2nd Reading Council. Over all, it must be said that Dr. Louise Wachter is a valuable asset to the Wilkes Education Department. Her enthusiasm and her background in teaching will aid in the training of our future teachers. She is "very happy to "be selected to be at Wilkes ....and enjoys the people with whom she is working."

' Photo by Donna YedlOCk �November 3, 1988 PAGE1WELVE Folk music: has it found a home? At the end of the 1950 s, it seemed apparent that rock music was on the decline. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper all died together on the same tour. Jerry Lee Lewis fell into moral trouble by marrying his second cousin. Elvis sold himself to Hollywood, and Little Richard became a preacher. Their music . was being replaced with "stale" artists like Fabian and Bobby Rydell. The more perceptive listeners saw what was happening to rock. Therefore, this was a perfect time for folk music to enter the mainstream. People caught on to folk because it dealt with reality. Songs weren't written about having a good time, but rather about the social injustices to minority groups or international problems like pollution. Musicians like Bob Dylan, who ironically started out in rock, wrote "Hollis Brown," the most important folk song in the earl sixties. Joan Baez made her- self popular by singing traditional Irish and English ballads. Almost . overnight, coffee houses brightened every major college and U.S. city. This provided an opportunity for amateur singers and groups to expose their talent to small audiences. Unfortunately, like most things in pop music, the folk movement was a fad. Its demise was a result of the British invasion and boredom. People were tired of hearing the depressed sounds of an acoustic guitar and musicians felt shackled by folk conservatism. The best example of this was, again, Bob Dylan. Dylan left folk with "Bring It All Back Home/ an album released in 1965. The record angered traditionalists, but . keeping up with ttends was more important. Now, twenty-three years after that historic moment, folk music is on the rise again. The eighties' movement probably started with Suzanne Vega. "Luka," Vega's most popular song, was about the horrors of child abuse. More recently, Tracy Chapman has made a stronger impression with "Fast Car," a tune about her personal feelings on urban city life. Other artists making- impressions include Michele Shocked and the Washington Squares. So is the folk revival just another fad? Perhaps. Most of the social conscience could be a reaction to eight years of Reaganomics or a majority of youth who are interested in music about personal issues. Then again, maybe folk has finally set itself comfortably in the mainstream.

We only had one person who even ventured a guess, and he missed the first question and didn't even guess on the second. What is this world coming to? Have we lost touch with our trivia roots? I don't want to go over your heads and call in an expert. I can do that, you know. Enough with the threats; on to the news of the week. In college football, the inevitable happened. UCLA made a monumenlal boo-boo and Notre Dame slipped into a much deserved and long overdue number one ranking. The Bruins blew it against Washington St. and dropped down to number six. The Mountaineers on West Virginia beat the Penn State team for only the fifth time in that rivalry's history. Look for a West Virginia vs. Notre Dame match up in the Fiesta Bowl for the National Championship. In professional football, the Colts made believers out of everyone with a convincing victory over the former champion, Denver Broncos. Steve Young showed the likes of Tarkenton and Staubach how to scramble with an all-pro run to seal 49er victory. In hockey, the New York Rangers may not be on top of the world, but they are, finally, on top of the Patrick Division. They've already beaten the Flyers twice this season, which is a triumph in itself. Did anyone ever expect to see three, let alone one, man in front of Wayne Gretzky for the scoring lead. He doesn't even lead his own team. If he were a Penguin, he would be third on the team. Which brings up another point to ponder. Could it be that the NHL ordered the Gretzky trade to break up what could have been the most offensively potent team in history?

That command, barked by Lee Morrell, was overfteard frequently by passengers of Eastern Airlines--A voca to Atlanta--on the morning of Wednesday, October 26. As I and three of my Beacon counterparts (Lee, Tom Obrzut and Lisa Miller) were being winged to Atlanta, "the hub of the South," for the annual CMA/ACP National Convention, we were uptight. No, not because three of us had never flown before. We were uptight because we didn't want to lose the revered, official NFL pigskin. You see, we figured that funny-shaped brown thing would be our chief plaything and key to attracting peers. (We didn't know how right we were.) So we ranked possession of the football right behind having our money, and just ahead of packing our clothes. The trek through Hartsfield Atlanta International, the busiest airport on the globe, brought stares in our direction as, along with our massive slew of luggage, I cradled the football. Yeah, that's right, Atlanta! The Beacon's fearsome foursome had arrived. The Hyatt Regency came into focus as the MARTA train neared Peachtree center. (Argh! The word "peach" was everywhere.) This little city--1000 rooms, 23 stories, four high speed glass elevators--would be our habitat for four-and-a-half days. Although we arrived at approximately 11:30 a.m., our rooms weren't ready until 3 p.m. So, before we hit Benihana for lunch, we viewed the collegiate vagrants occupying the lobby. Kids from Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio and many other states in the union Wyre on the scene. Yeah, we could play some serious football with these guys. After Tom, Lee and I escorted Lisa to her ninth-floor room in an opposite tower, we ascended to floor twenty. After unpacking, Lee and I sat on the floor and began tossing the ball.

I think the security guards are still laughing. Charades led to the celebrity name game. Jay Lidington of Northern Kentucky University impressed our contingent with his wealth of sports knowledge. Troy "Boomer" May, also of NKU, won the celebrity lookalike contest with his striking sim ilarity to Norman "Boomer" Esiason, the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. Another NKUer, Rick Swinford, came in a close second as Dennis Hopper.

ID student of Cleveland State, Charlie DiSalvo, walked by the room shouting, "Hut, hut!" Charlie DiSalvo, the craziest guy you'd ever want to meet, had entered our cubicle. Little did we know that he would later transform himself into "The Fly." Other sports besides football would soon begin to infiltrate their way into our nightly routines. It was charades that hatched "The Fly." DiSalvo had to enact The Lord of the Flies, and a star was born. His rendition of a flapping insect up against a balcony window became a standard in shopping malls and on MARTA trains.

Widener put the game out of reach in the first quarter, jumping out to a 24-point lead. Mike Rose started the scoring as he booted a school record 51-yard field goal. A fumble by Colonels' running back Rob Sebastianelli, set up the Pioneers' next score, an Alan Robinson three-yard run. Rose's PAT made the score, 10-0, Widener. Sean Meagley (11-20, 115 yards, three interceptions) threw an nterception which gave the Pioneers the ball at the three, and Robinson scored his second touchdown of the day to increase Widener's lead to 17-0. The Pioneers closed the first quarter scoring with a 43-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dan Stoffere (5-6, 89 yards, one touchdown) to Tony Reed to put the score at 24-0. Things didn't get any better for the Colonels in the second quarter, as Widener put the game out of reach. Rose kicked his second field goal, a 30-yarder, and Stoffere followed a blocked punt with a 12-yard touchdown run to make the score, 34-0. The half ended at 41-0, Widener, as Kevin Beetle intercepted a deflected Meagley pass and returned it six yards for a score.

In the popular vote, Bush won by a percentage of 54 to 46. At a rally in Houston, Tuesday night, Bush voiced a pledge to progress. "We will move again," he said. " ... for an America that is strong and resolute in the world , strong and bighearted at home. "And when I said I wanted a kinder and gentler nation, I meant it and I mean it." Bush, who pledged to work with a newly strengthened Democratic Congress, appealed for the approval of all Americans.

"To Lhose who supported me, I'll try to be worthy of your trust," he said. "To those who didn't, I will try to earn it ... My hand is out to you. I want to be your president, too." In his concession speech in Boston, Dukakis called for unity. "This nation faces major challenges and we must work together," he said. "He [Bush] will be our president, and we'll work with him ." This was met with a chorus of "ninety-two, ninety-two!" referring to a possible run for the money in the 1992 election. Bush won the key states of Texas and California, states which Dukakis had hoped to ~laim in his upset bid. Bush won 40 states, compared to Dukakis' 10 and the District of Columbia. In Pennsylvania, Bush won by the slim margin of 51 to 49 percent. Dukakis had owned a 17 point lead in the polls after the Democratic National Convention, but Bush's campaign strategy of painting Dukakis as a liberal who is soft on crime paid off in what was one of the dirtiet presidential campaigns in history. _ Bush's choice of Dan Quayle didn't hurt his chances as greatly as had been anticipated, as most voters expressing dislike of Quayle as a voting qualification in exit polls were Democrats. Dukakis ' choice of Lloyd Bentsen wasn't enough to carry Texas for his ticket. Many analysts feel that the choice for Texans was to decide whether they wanted Bentsen in the White House or the Capital.

The almost year and a half long onslaught of politics and politicians is over and, for better or for worse, · we have a new president. In January, we will inaugurate Vice President George Bush as the 41st President of the United States. We started out with a wealth of candidates--all of whom, if combined, would make one great president. On the Republican side we started with Vice President George Bush, Senator Robert Dole, Governor Pierre "Pete" DuPont, General Alexander Haig, Congressman Jack Kemp, and Rev. Pat Robertson, while on the Democrat side we had Senator Joe Biden, Governor Bruce Babbit, Governor Michael Dukakis, Congressman Dick Gephardt, Senator Albert Gore, Senator Gary Hart, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Senator Paul Simon. After a year of jockeying for position, the real candidates stepped forward: Dukakis and Jackson for the Democrats and Bush all alone for the Republicans. At the conventions we chose our candidates and they chose their running mates; Dukakis chose Lloyd Bentsen and Bush chose Dan Quayle. That's when the race began. This could possibly go down as one of the dirtiest mud-slinging campaigns in history. Everyone had bad things to say about everyone else; it's a wonder we elected anyone at all. The real question is, did you, Wilkes College Student, get out and excercise your right to vote? There are people out there who say that college kids don't care about the future of their country. Did you prove them wrong? I hope so, for the sake of our country. I hope you voted for the best candidate, not for · the guy who sounds best or, as I've heard so often, "for the guy who's gonna win." Elections are about issues, not appearances. If you voted and feel good about your decision, good for you! The election is history now, but we must live with our decision. ************************ Thumbs up: Go to Circle K for the hard work and effort that we~t in.to their 6th consecutive Haunted House (they've been domg 1t for over twenty years).

Yes, folks, it was none other than George Bush. I tread through the wet, piercing blades of grass towards George, the sweat pouring down his brow as he viciously directed the mower. Upon spotting me, he shifted into high and drove towards the home. He waved furiously to the man on the porch, who wore a shaky straw hat and denim overalls rolled up at the legs. He was a blonde, Redford-Kennedy type, despite what Lloyd had said in a heated debate some weeks earlier. It was Dan Quayle, Republican. Dan rose and braced himself against the porch railing, frantically waving his arm and screaming to George. Once the riding mower was pulled within reach of Dan, he tagged George, who rolled off the spinning mower, ran into the house and was immediately replaced by Dan in the drivers seat. I marveled over how successfully the two new public officials had handled such a common pastime as tag team lawn mowing. When George entered the house, he looked like he would not hesitate to shove a sizzling fireplace poker through the pursed lips of anyone remarking on the popular "wimp factor." When he came through the doors and sat beside me on the porch; he beamed with charisma and charm. He had entered the world famous, yet widely unknown Personality Room. This change allowed the man to talk to me about Wilkes issues, something burdening my mind for some time now. Within minutes, I had him agreeing to sending the Marines into Pittston. He also took my servant and See View page 8 (CPS) - The final figures are not in, but most evidence suggests there are more students going to colleges nationwide this fall than last year. "We expect enrollment to be higher this fall," said Elaine El-Khawas of the American Council on Education (ACE) in Washington, D.C . "Everybody I've spoken to refers to the fact that applications were up," said Bob Aaron of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. "That would lead me to believe that enrollments are up, but my' guess is based on anecdotes, not actual enrollment figures." The anecdotes typically concern jammed classrooms, packed dorms and not enough teachers around to lead courses. In mid-October, for instance, Stephens College in Missouri announced it had too many students wanting to take and too few professors able to teach a basic English course next semester, and thus would have to tum away half the students signing up for the class. At the University of Arizona, Assistant Fine Arts Dean Lynne Tronsdal fretted UA's 4 percent enrollment increase would threaten the school's ability "to serve these students in a way that they have a right to." The University of Texas's College of Liberal Arts is six-to-eight months behind in doing degree checks for applicants, officials conceded last week. ' No one will really know what nationwide enrollment figures are until at least "December or January," when the U.S, Dept. of Education plans to release its official head count, department analyst Norman Brandt said. In its annual back-to-school projections last August, the department predicted some 12,560,000 students would enroll leges, explained. "They ·re saymg to The reason, they said, was that youngpeople 'Whydon'tyougofor there are fewer 18-year-olds-the a (relatively inexpensive) commu- people who, of course, traditionally nity college for two years, and then staff freshman classes-around. you pick it"' The U.S. Education Dept., in its Colleges in Utah, too, are "Back to School Forecast," attribreporting massive enrollment in- uted enrollment's failure to crash to creases.

The numbers of students enrolled at Harvard and the universities of Illinois and Tennessee, for example, are down. Enrollments also are down at Louisiana State, Cal Baptist College and Christopher Newport College in Virginia. Students seem to be the ones who suffer most when the population rises.

But more significant, observers say, is the increased number of female and older students registering. "Now the average age of college students is 24, 25 years old," said Grosso, "There's a lot more adults going to school." "There's a sustained and strong interest in college, and it's not just among 18-to 24-year-olds," Aaron concurred, "The economy is shaky," added El-Khawas. "People feel they need all the education they can get People are going back to school to get master's degrees and become specialists. They're responding to the economy. They're preparing themselves for the job market." "More and more women are fmding themselves as the heads of their households, and they want the necessary skills to support their families," Grosso added. But many observers still believe enrollments will shrink eventually. College enrollments will hit a high of 12,585,000 in 1990, the Education Department's Brandt predicted, but will drop to 12,408,000by 1992as thepoolof18to-24-year-olds shrinks. "There's a dip coming further down the road," said Grosso. "The number of 18-year-olds will decrease. That's a fact." �PAGE FOUR November 10, 1988 Campus compact introduced to Wilk One of the main reports in last with this area's chapter representaweek's S.G. meeting on Wednesday, · tive, Ms. Morgan who will be visitNovember 2, was the scheduled ing Wilkes on the 11th.

It will also cover the system's . applications, including obstetric applications and "uniformly focused, high-resolution cardiac images."

It'sabout relating to yourself and others. Even the Personality Room can't handle that problem. A "Rowdy" They Live John Carpenter must have literally wrestled with the script of his new suspense film, They Live. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, of Wrestlemania fame, does a suplex into . the starring role of the film, and he actually pins down some credible acting. However, the film tumbles on the mat at times due to lapses in what would otherwise be a promising script. Piper stars as part of the working ' class in They Live. He gets hired at a constuction site and makes his home there with others in makeshift shacks. The free time tbe people ·e at this site is spent watching TV outside their humble abodes. One day their soaps are interrupted by an annoying transmission. This broadcast warns people to beware of the upper class, saying that they are not themselves. Piper shirks at the notion at first. However, he stumbles on the source of the transmission in a church directly across from the construction site. He also obtains a box containing a huge number of sunglasses. Only their purpose is not to deflect the sun's rays. These glasses envision a lot more. They let "Rowdy" see through all the fake people on earth. In other words, the aliens that inhabit the planet The premise for the script to They Live is a familiar one. It's been seen on the big screen and the small screen before. In the early 1980's alien lizards hid under human skin and attempted to take over the human race in the television mini-series "V ." In the late 70 s earth was slowly engulfed on film by an alien race in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Once Piper has discovered the alien race he proceeds to go on a rampage, blowing away a plethora of the invaders. It is obvious that Piper's character was probably devised to fit Kurt Russell's acting. Russell starred as this macho-type in three of John Carpenter's previous films, including Escape From New· York, Big Trouble China, and The Thing. in the film. The scene lasts for about seven minutes and is incredibly pointless. It appeared as if Carpenter wanted to kill some time, or put "Rowdy" Roddy on a spotlighted wrestling platform. Once again Carpenter creates his own music and adapts it to They Live. However, it is thoroughly repetitious as it pounds at the same beat through the whole film. ' Carpenter's camerawork is up to par once again, although there are no new or elaborate angles present ·· If you want to get "Rowdy" campus. at the movies go see The night I went the pumped up like "Ro cles.

Little Kurt was most likely slated to work on another film at the time so Carpenter got the next best thing, "Rowdy" Roddy. This full-time wrestler flips into the his new found career with couth and charisma. "I've come here today to chew bubble gum and kick ass!" proclaims "Rowdy" at a high point in the film.

They reveal insights to us about human nature--they provide us with ideas about the moral, social, psychological, theological, and scientific beliefs and customs of past cultures. These stories teach us, guide us, and provide us with answers to questions about the human identity--namely "who am I?", or more specifically "where do I come from?", "where am . I bound?" and "what must I do now to get from here to there?" Myth answers these queslions on a literal level. Myhopoesis answers them on a symbolic level, in the form a story. Why symbolically? Because the literal account could no longer be accepted by society as a result of some change, crisis, or loss of faith.

The journey might birth, or reintegration, which is Jack Coen: by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor I guess the Programming Board has learned their lesson. Never plan a comedian for the first weekend of November. This decision dates back to November of 1986 to what has been called by some, ''The Rondell Sheridan Affair," or the comedian who didn't come to dinner. Despite being contracted, Sheridan, the planned Board entertainment for that weekend, never showed up to do his show. Last year at this time, the Board featured Kirk Edwards, a coffeehouse performer. dependent upon the degree to which the hero questions his own deviation. He must question his own authority, integrity, and individuality, not in hopes of finding an answer, but in hopes of realizing a potential or an inner quality. His altruism must outshine his egoism--he must work for the people. This sacrifice will sanctify him in due time and place, just as it did Oedipus at Colonus, Don Quixote at La Mancha, and Hamlet in Horatio's final prayer. In Act Four, or the Epilogue, we see a fulfillment of the Quest and a tempering of the hero's conflict. The hero cannot return to his original state of bliss as a result of his flaw. He is removed from it · but at the same time has a better understanding of himself and his purpose and is rewarded for this: better late than This year, the Board had its new impending holiday season with lesson taught to them.

There are parties and then again there are Parties! This last • week the entire cast of Dream Girl had a party to end all parties. It was hard work but we did it all for you, gentle reader. I'm telling you, by the time we'd finished the onion dip, libidos were literally bouncing off the walls. Dream Girl, for those of you who don't know, is the 40's play that will preview tonight at the Center for the Performing Arts and run through this weekend. The theme of the party was the Forties, and we were all invited to dance to the Big Band sounds of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. We even dressed the part. The reason? To get us better prepared to entertain you with this play that all takes place in the middle of the Forties, complete with · shoulder pads, seamed stockings, a small hand gun puJled from a purse and the gentle rhythms of Begin the Beguine. Dr. Martha ("Party Marty") LoMonoco, director of the show, decided we all needed to get more in character than we were. The girls even had dance cards! We foxtrotted for Pete's sake, and some of us, by the end of the evening, were even getting good at it. This weekend the Dorothy Dickson Dane Center will be transformed to the golden days of yesteryear when women wore tight-fitted body corsets and men had shoulder pads in their suit jackets.

Overall, it was a successful season for the Colonels. They broke a 22 game losing streak, winning for the first time in three years. They also accomplished their goal of beating King's in the MAC Championships to go along with their two regular season victories. "It was a good season for the team," said McGuire. "Everyone improved and the freshmen gained valuable experience on the college level. Hopefully with a few new recruits we can strengthen the program and have a tough team next year."

I believe it's the ultimate in teaching. It gives me a chance to influence people's lives in positive ways." Also the athletic director, Reese, who has collected 420 victories, has the longest tenure of any wrestling coach in the nation. He has built the Colonels into a Division I power, with the program making the jump from Division III in 1975 after copping a national title in '73-'74. The Colonels have found life with the big boys of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association very fruitful, posting the finest record in the land over the past two years (42-4).

The 134 pound class yields veterans Ron Miller (19-5) and Frank Bonomo. Miller, a senior co-captain, was a national qualifier in his freshman year and last year placed fourth at Easterns. Bonomo will be juggled between 134 and 142 pounds. Also looking for mat time will be New Hampshire's State Champ Jim Doone. Junior letterman Tony Diaz is the leading candidate at 142. He is ~eeing competition from junior Chris Johnson and freshman Eric Feese who finished third in Pennsylvania last season. At 150, look to see senior Frank Castano. Last year, Castano compiled a 14-6-1 record. Backing up Castano will be freshman Jason Testa. Probably the most competitive weight class will be 158. Frank Goldowski (16-6-1), who placed fourth at Easterns, is seeing steep competition from Merrill Neal (4-6) and junior Mike Schroat (11-3-1) who placed sixth at Easterns last season. The leading canidate at 177 is Willie Carano, but he has been injured for most of the preseason. Charlie Keyes, a transfer from West Point, has been very impressive in preseason drills and should see some time for the Colonels this year. Backing up Carano are freshman Brian Davis and Diaron Tufunkjeam. Colonel fans will see switches at 190 and heavyweight. Junior co-captain Steve Schannauer (13-4-1), who placed fourth at Eastems, will get the nod at 190. Schannauer is being pushed by promising frehman Ray Mendeza. At heavyweight, Marc Palanchi (7-9-1) will be backed up by sophomore Tony Knight and freshman David Amedure.

Despite missing the last three games because of the injury, she was second on the team in rebounding with 6.7. Kest added, " she always seemed to be around the ball." Other key returning players for the Lady Colonels are _sophomores Angie Miller, Kelly Ruff, Michelle Toth, and junior Lisa Burak. Miller led the team in scoring last year and was sixth in the country in Division III for three point shots. Miller's return this year will definitely be a plus for Wilkes. "Kelly (Ruff) is one of the best rebounders from last year's team," said Kest. "She gives 100% on the floor. She learned a lot from last year." Kest characterized Ruff as a very physical player and an asset to the team. "Michelle (Toth) got a lot of playing time last year. She is a very aggressive player, a good nose to nose defensive player," Kest stated. Kest rates Burak as one of the best centers with respect to outside shooting. "Lisa (Burak) is one of the best six-foot centers that can shoot the ball outside accurately. Sometimes she lacks confidence. Once she believes . she can play at a college level she will definitly be a force to be reckoned with," Kest stated. "We will have to beat teams with our running game, pressure defense, and our spirit," Kest_ said. Kest will be looking to Susan Chamecki and Denise Carson for the ball handling responsibilities. "Susan is one of the quickest guards to come out of the Wyoming Valley Conference. Carson· will find playing time as either the point or shooting guard. "Denise, plays very aggressive defense and is a good floor general,!' said Kest Louise Cicerchia is a very consistent three point shooter. "She is very good passer that loves to play the game of basketball," said Kest. Deb Erder is another freshman that will probably make a quick contribution to the Lady Colonels' effort this season. "Deb (Erdner) is probably one of the real pleasant ·surprises this season," Kest stated. "She is a very physical inside player. Deb will make a good contribution on the inside game which we sometimes lacked in the past" Another player at the center position is Krista Zoka. "Krista, at six-feet-two-inches, is the only true center on the team. She needs to develop her fundamental skills. The key is that she wants to learn the game of basketball," Kest stated. Kest feels that Zoka could be one of the best centers in the league in the future. Womens basketball co-captains, sophomore Nicole Kovaleski and The Lady Colonels have a senior Melissa Kennedy.

The Wilkes hooters began the year with many questions to be answered. The team was young with it only five upperclassmen returning: Sean Lockhead, Joe Lannon, John Meyers, Chris Nebel (captain), and Andy Renner. All played well and all, except Lockhead, will return next season. T.R. Andrake, Chris Dahm, Steve Moloney and Dom Tinari were among the key freshman contributors. The experience they gained will be a valuable asset next year. Doug Albertson, Tom Horbacz, Dave Oba!, Mike Lenczycki, and Chris Shenefield were the sophomore returnees. Their freshmen playing time paid off in good performances this year, despite the few weeks Shenefield missed due to a cut on his foot. John Meyers, a junior, missed the end of the season with a calf muscle injury, and Sean Lockhead missed time with a recurring thigh problem. The Colonels started slowly, losing two of the first three matches. The season took an upswing with winning streak. a five-game A road trip to Virginia produced two tight losses to Virginia Tech and RandolphMacon. Seven of the nine Colonel losses were to ranked opponents. Coach Phil Wingert's winning record of six consecutive years was snapped. But he is not concerned. "We got a lot of experience," he said, "and we should be strong next year." "We played an - extremely tough schedule, and I'm sure that facing that kind of competition will benefit us next season and in years to come. "Even though we had a losing record, it was a good year for the program." �+ Woman's Basketball preview Men's Soccer wrap-up The Locker Room Wrestling preview Men's Basketball Trivia '88 Women's Soccer wrap-up Gordon's Guesses Wilkes College Wilk~s-Barrc, PA 18766 Juniata, Davis humble Colonels, 51by Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor A good wine improves with age. Unfortunately for head coach Bill Unsworth, Wilkes' football season has not. The Colonels (2-7, 1-6 in the MAC) were defeated 51-12 by Juniata last Saturday at Ralston Field. A sparse, rain-soaked crowd of 150 watched the Colonels lose their fourth in a row. The Colonels' defense has yielded a record 337 points through nine games, quarterback Sean Meagley has thrown 22 interceptions, and an extremely talented Lycoming looms next week. This is getting ugly, folks. What's wrong'2 "When you have seniors and experienced players who have played well in the past, you expect them to stay at the same level," said Unsworth. "That hasn't happened. We feared that this season might be tough, but we didn't think it would be this bad." The Colonels took a brief lead against the Indians when Jim Rittinger returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown, breaking many tackles along the way. The Indians had taken a 3-0 · lead on a 28-yard field goal by John O'Neil. The 11-play, 44yard drive was set up by a Meagley interception. Juniata quarterback Cubby Davis (19-28, 276 yards) tied his own school record of five touchdown passes, as the Indian offense had its way throughout the contest. He hit Mike Cottle with a nine-yard· scoring pass with 2:44 left in the first quarter for a 10-6 lead. Running back Dennis Derenzo (17 carries, 124 yards) ran 46 yards on the last play of ~ the first quarter, and caught a 69- ' yard scoring strike in the second . to give the Indians a 23-6 advantage. On the touchdown reception, DeRenzo was hit three times by Colonel defenders, but they couldn't bring him down. It was a play representative of the defense's season-long penchant for surrendering long gainers. "It's frustrating to see a play like that," said Unsworth. "We spend a lot of time in practice on tackling.

Few know which 20 campuses are in the study, but Tulane and Rutgers universities as well as the universities of Colorado, Maryland and Georgia have acknowledged they're participating. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is caused by a virus which destroys the body's immune system. The virus is most typically contracted by having sex or sharing intravenous needles with an infected person, or by contaminated blood products. There have been more than 76,000 cases reported in the United States since 1981, with · 43,000 fatalities. Campus lifestyles, health administrators believe, leave students especially vulnerable to the disease. "Students are a sexually active group," said Dr. Florence Winship of the University of Georgia health center. And because they tend to be young and inexperience, "they feel immune, even when they know the problem's out there." Many students objected to the CDC study when it was proposed last spring, noting they would never know if a blood sample they gave at their clinic was being tested or if, in the end, they tested positive for the disease. Still others worried samples could be traced back to the donors. In New Jersey, for example, the American Civil Liberties Union lodged a formal complaint with Rutgers University, charging the school's participation in the survey endangered students' privacy. Through it all, however, the CDC believed the study was worthwhile. Sims contends, "The survey will help us focus our efforts." About 5,000 of the 20,000 college blood samples to be tested have been processed, Sims said, showing a rate of about three cases per 1,000 students. Sims said she didn't know from which campuses the samples came. "The only thing we can show from these preliminary results is that there is infection on college campuses. College students are not immune from AIDS," Sims said. "The figure cited is based on just one-quarter of the sample," added Miguel Garcia-Tunom of the American College Health Association. "In that sense it's inconclusive. It'sjustanumber. Butwhat'simportant is not to fixate on a number, but to deal with the problem on campuses. Students must be aware of this." "It's not surprising to me," Winship said of the preliminary figure. While the data may be "skewed" and doesn't "provide the full picture," she predicts the final tally See AIDS page 4 Despite controversy over condom machines, students aren't using them.

At a recent supported by 95% of the faculty, an "overwhelming endorsemen t," he sat'd • The new core has been in the planning stages for the past three years, involving many people and hours. Waldner identified Dr. Bing K. Wong, Mathematics Department; Dr. Lee C. Terry, Language and Literature Department; Ms. Sharon Telban, Nursing Department.; and Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs as being especially instrumental in the success of the proposal. The Curriculum is divided into three main sections: Basic Skills, Distribution Requirements, Physical Development, and the new Core Studies I. C ore S tudi es I , as d escn'bed.m the proposal for the new core, is intended to introduce the freshman to college life, "emphasizing adjustment to college life, study skills, oral communication, self-exploration, and goal setting." Several changes were made in the basic skills area, including a speaking requirement, a foreign Ianguage requirement, and the requirement of writing intensive courses to fulfill the writing portion of the basic skills area. The distribution requirements were renamed and revamped. First is Culture and Value, which deals with history, literature, philosphy, and the understanding ofnon-English speaking culture and language (beyond the foreign language requirement). The Scientific World, which will "provide an understanding of the natural and physical world," includes mathematics, biology, chemistry, earth and evironmental sciences, and physics. Courses from anthropology, political science, sociolog" economics, and psychology are a part of the Social Sciences Distribution. Artistic Expression, the last of the distribution requirements, can be satisfied from selected courses from the Art, Music.and Speech, Communications, and Theater Arts Depart- ments. Each of the four distributions has one core studies (CS) course; the Culture and Value distribution has two. They are courses involving course material relevant to each distribution topic in general. For example, Core Studies IO, Culture and Value, treats the topic of antecedants to twentieth century thinking. It will discuss Darwin, Marx, and Freud, who helped shape political and social thinking. The Culture and Value course, as well as the CS courses for Artistic Expression and Critical Thinking, have already been at least partially prepared.

The enraged barkeep quickly hoisted him off the ground, slapped him in the face with a heavy, mucus saturated handkerchief, and politely yelled, "Listen, bucko. Why don't you get a real man's drink.

The wimp cowered on his stool wooden door aside to find Thad, the scum, lying in a pool of unmentionable liquid, desperately clutching an illustrated childrens' astronomy book. His face shined in a red puffyness, and he stared at me, endlessly repeatmg the words, "No, mom. That videotape is not mine. I don't know how a copy of Babes in Bondage ever gpt under my mattress. Maybe it was the dog." Needless to say, I gathered him up and carted him home. Well, folks, how about that nonalcoholic pub? Sure, build it. Why not let people fantasize about being in a real pub?

As he saw it sizzle in the shot glass, he cried like a child and stood up with hopes of leaving. The bartender immediately, instinctively grasped a bowl of pretzels, and hurled them at the fleeing fella, knocking him cold. He then went back to the task of serving carrot juice and the house special, liquified ground peach pits. While nursing my diet milk, I peered across the room, hoping to find my houseboy somewhere. A primitive migratory tribe of nursing majors occupied a large table' in the corner, accompanied by a rather attractive future biologist insulting an enraged bodybuilder. To their side stood the stage, where a spirited kazoo band cranked out everyone's favorite Bruce Springsteen tunes. The entertainment hit a high note when a funny-haired nursing major stood upon the table and joined in with a chord from her harmonica. That diet milk really did something to me, for I found myself rushing to the ill reputed outhouse in the parking lot.

"In general," said Rich Wolitski of the AIDS Education Project at California State University at Long Beach, "college students have a fairly high knowledge about AIDS. They know how it is transmitted and what they can do to protect themselves. In September, the CDC reported the AIDS scare apparently had not markedly changed students' sexual habits, prompting Assistant U.S. Secretary of Health Dr. Robert E. Windom to urge campus officials to try harder to educate their students about the plague. Windom said that one-fifth of the reported AIDS cases occur among people 20 to 29 years old. "Since the average incubation period (for AIDS) is seven years or longer, it's clear that many of the 14,000 patients in this group were high school or college age at the time of their infection," Windom said. Moreover, a 1987 survey of college students by Blotnick Associates, a New York polling firm, revealed that only 6 percent of men think about AIDS before choosing sexual partners. "It's a little frustrating," Georgia Winship said. "Their behavior doesn't go along with their education. We need to do everything • we can to transfer that 'yes-I-knowabout-it' attitude to a change in their behavior." She believes students simply may be unwilling to listen to "parental figures" like older college health officials. "Students listen to their peers more than folks who look like their parents," Winship said. Georgia now has a peer counseling program in which students actually spread the word about AIDS, Winship reported. . Virtually every campus in the U.S., of course, now has some kind of AIDS program. Some-the universities of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Iowa and Texas at El Paso, as well as Michigan State, Southwest Missouri State, Indiana and Plattsburgh State College in New York among themhave supplemented education programs by installing condom machines in dormitories and student unions, or by distributiong condoms for free. Critics say condom distribution promotes sexual promiscuity. "Students are not mature," Winship said. "They don't plan ahead." Condom machines, especially in dormitories, "lets them have better access later in the thinking process," just before they have sex, she said. "It's controversial, but it's realistic." • Kristallnacht tradgedy reca by Barbara Jamelli Beacon News Editor Members of the Wilkes College community participated in Kristallnacht ("The Night of Broken Glass") memorial services Wednesday, Novem- ber 9, honoring the victims of the horrible attack against those of the Jewish faith staged by the Nazis 50 years ago that night Tht theme for the evening's memorial was "Not here, not tonight, never again" and was held at Temple Israel, South River Street.

The proposed Speech Pathology Club presented its first constitutional reading for S.G. approval last Wednesday. (Any new constitution must be heard twice.) The reasons for forming the club stem from the new major established here at Wilkes. The club plans to promote knowledge in the field, organize related social and academic activities, and promote scholarship among interested students. Although the club submitted a constitution it will have to be revised according to new S.G. guidelines. The Club hoped to be officially recognized at this week's meeting on Nov. 16. A presentation of the new Gym was given to S.G. members during last week's meeting. It was an overview of all the floor plans with their planned use. Following discussions stemmed from one of the finalists for the soda money: donating it towards finishing a room in the gym. One of the members reminded the others that the decision would be based on how the money could benefit the students best, not only on what needed to be done in the gym. It was then decided that someone would be contacted to answer at a future meeting just how that could be done. The Special Olympics Committee of the Wilkes-Barre area contactedthe director of Student Affairs Amy Wiedemer, requesting any help available in helping adults skate any Wednesday at the Ice-A-Rama at Coal Street Park from 1 to 2:30 p.m. during November and December. Please contact Amy e)C.t 4108 if you are able to help in any way.

Members of the Palestine National Council, the PLO's so-called parliament, almost definitely will accept the resolution. They will be making a statement to that effect, said Ahmed Abdul-Rahman, PLO spokesman. Acceptance of Resolution 242, passed in 1967, and Resolution 338, passed in 1973, is one of the conditions the PLO must meet to be officially recognized by the United States. �November 17, 1988 PAGE SIX Dream Girl raves in reality by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor Dream Girl is not an illusion. It is a marvelous play and romantic fantasy, directed by Dr. Martha LoMonaco, that was brought in-to the real world in 1945 by playwright Elmer Rice. This past weekend it was a vision of ingenuity, elegance, and hilarity as it graced the stage of the Center for the Performing Arts at Wilkes College. Dream Girl is imaginative. It follows the romantic events of a young woman whose thoughts wander aimlessly at times in a variety of daydreams. At first, her feelings of passion are directed towards her brother-in-law, Jim Lucas, and surface in some of her voluptuous visions. She then meets Clark Redfield, a book reviewer. He shreds apart the book she has written with harsh criticism, and Georgina, the "Dream Girl," fantasizes what it would be like to put his life to an end. One more man enters the dream realm of Georgina: George Hand. He too is a bookman, and he wants to travel to Mexico with the play's heroine. Once again she invisions what this would be like and turns down the offer. The play comes full circle and arrives at a somewhat surprising finale. In the end it is harsh criticism that captures the Dream Girl's heart. She no longer conjures up visions of murder against Clark, only visions of love. The two then elope and live happily ever after? Director Martha LoMonaco wanted to grasp the elegant style of the 1930's and 40's in this Wilkes and King's College interpretation of Dream Girl. The style was seized with -a style all its own. You actually felt like this was the time period of actors Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn; or even musicians Duke Ellington and Glen Miller. This was exactly what LoMonaco hoped to accomplish. This interpretation took place in the 1980's, but it had the atmosphere of the 1940's. In 1945 the show served as escapism for audiences who were run down from the Depression era and World War II. This was a time period when many people fantasized about the finer things in life, much to the likes of Georgina all throughout Dream Girl. Maureen O' Hara is the Dream Girl, and her performance stands sturdy. She has clearly established herself as one of Wilkes' top performers. All throughout the play she exhibits poise and gentle gestures that relate to the elegant time frame she is fixed in. If there ever was a show stealer, Rob Johansen must have stolen this role from all predecessors. He portrays the part of Clark Redfield. Georgina's final love stop, with comedy and character. It is in the beginning of Dream Girl where Johansen first steps upon the stage portraying the cocky critic, and it is here where his comical talents take center stage. After he deeply offends Georgina, he is the centerpiece of her dream table of nightmares. There is a furious thunderstorm raging as Redfield (Johansen) sits poised at his typewriter cackling at Georgina's novel. "Dangling participle!" he exclaims with joy. He screams a variety of insults towards the book, and at the same time he pulls the tail of a black cat. 'Tm drunk and I'm happy!" he yells, and coincidentally ad libs as well. Much of his speech in this sequence is ad libbed as I later learned from Michele Broton, who gave short but sweet portrayals of a bookshop woman and a theatre manager. Johansen later appeared in another comical scene that displayed other talents of this play as well. In one sequence, Georgina is in Mexico with George Hand, played with dignity by a distinguished William Barber. There is a Mexican dancing band that waddles with hilarious hipswings across the stage. Don Semyon and Nick Rumen are present with Johansen during this frolicking fiesta. Christine Brunnock and Christopher Collins give comical performances as Georgina's parents. Gunnar R. Waldmann Rambo calmly but cooly plays the part of Georgina's brother-in-law. Claire Blakely, the bookshop worker, is cleverly conducted by Sarah Turnbull, and Antoinette Wingert turned in a credible performance as Georgina's sister. The production staff was a key ingredient to the sucess of Dream Girl. Designer and technical director Karl G. Ruling brought the three rolling stages to life. These rolling stages allowed for the audience to see two events going on at one time. Whether it be a phone call or a dream, the mechanized modules would move the talent into their respective places. Mara was the designer of the 40's style costumes. The variety of cloth and material was woven neatly into the play to add a real sense of atmosphere. Lighting was an essential part of Dream Girl. Its main purpose was to distinguish or make the transaction from dream to reality or visa versa. The lights would go down to a pitch black, and then rise again with characters poised in either reality or dream. Master electrician Christopher J. Brush and his assistant David Armitage were responsible for dawning the light. Other key people included Stage Manager Bob Wachowski, Sound Coordinator Jason Delcampe, Running Crew Manager Rebbeca Haywood, and countless others. Dream Girl dances along in visions and dreams. It wakes you up to yet another stirring play by the Wilkes-King's college tandem. If you didn't see Dream Girl come back to reality. g000000000 by John Gonion stores.

Kevin Kishel, the bass player, is a junior medical tech. major at Wilkes. Chuck Macaluso is a student at LCCC and will be a junior ' education major at Wilkes in the spring. They are a Top 40 Rock Band. Say on Sombel combines the power and drive of rock with the subtle textures of jazz to produce a unique form of music-Art-Rock Fusion. This Wilkes College quartet originally began back in 1986 as a trio with Jeffrey Eline (a senior from Baltimore, MD) on guitar, Ed Buonocore (a senior from Hillsboro, NJ) on bass, and Andrew Morrell (a senior from Kingston, PA) on drums. Their diversity in taste drove them to compose original music, which is at the core of their present repertoire. Keyboardist Jim Dee (a sophomore from St. Louis, MO) stepped in during the fall of '88, opening up a wider spectrum of musical colors and possibilities. Their music displays a vast background from jazz to classical to rock. Their appearance at the Battle of the Bands marks their debut performance. Ghitus, pronounced Gee-Dis, has been together for about one month. John Pompeo, from Malvern, PA, plays the guitar, bass, and harmonica. Eric Gratson, from North Arlington, NJ, plays lead guitar. Bob Sprau from Wilkes-Barre plays the drums, and Stan Giza, also from Wilkes-Barre, does vocals and percussion.

His influences are Eric Clapton and the contaminated water at his jersey Shore home. Carmen, from Flemington, NJ, is known for "the hottest guitar grundge this side of the Water Gap." Zap, the bassman, is the hyper member of Cheeze Fumunda. He credits this to this to a diet of cheap beer and string cheese. Jim, the drummer, is the source of Cheeze's driving beat. The Treskow res~dent has been known to assault his set with a baseball bat. The Blue Light Special is a band that originated in Tihslub, West Germany, in the early 40's as the first bongo quartet. Stricken with leprosy, 3 of the 4 members died, leaving the band's founder, Achmel Blues. Achmel then migrated to America where he formed a new band featuring himself and 12 topless female accordian players. After several world tours and starring in many feature films such as "Achmel meets Godzilla" and "I Left my Heart in Tihslub," the band founded Achmel House, where all its cult followers (Achmelites) would reside.

Last week was a lot of work, three dress rehearsals and three run-throughs. But we did it. And we had a lot of fun, too. For those of you who saw our play Dream Girl, I hope you also had a little fun. But the best show, by far, was going on back stage. I don't mean those little pecadellos and romancettes that spring up during any show, but the actual moving of scenery, setting up sets, pulling the long, ropes to "fly" a piece of business onto the set. That is where the real work is, ~nd I'd like to give a big hand to all the guys and dolls who dressed in black back stage to lift and schlepp, and basically to make us look good out there. From the wings, the stage is like a golden world, a small circle of light in the middle of a vast sea of darkness; props, tables, people, costume racks, and actors waiting to go on. We see the action from the side view and imagine how just beyond the actors on stage sits a sea of faces in the darkened house, laughing, coughing, and hopefully enjoying. What you see is only a slice of what is really going on. We have practiced for weeks, going over the same scenes and the same lines again and again, and then doing our best to make the scene look spontaneous. What appears to you as an easy stroll and a few lines tossed off the top of the head has been rehearsed right down to the exact way to light a cigarette. Actors wait in the wings for a good five minutes before an entrance, going over their lines in their head, feeling their palms sweat with anticipation and just plain nerves. And then "boom," you're out there in that golden world, swimming through a kind of time warp, a frozen moment when you must recall every line, every movement, every nuance of character. You hear laughter from the audience in the darkness and you play it, pause for it, milk it if necessary. It is new to you and you cannot know when to expect it Audiences, for some reason unknown to all actors, laugh in different places on different evenings. One night the whole audience goes wild for one line and not the other. The next night, · it's the , other line and not the first. You can't stand there like you were expecting it. Playing the audience is where the real talent of the actor comes through. Which brings me to my point. Actor Rob Johansen is a joy to behold. His timing is flawless, his responses are correct and his uncanny ability to know, even as it is happening, how he looks and what he is getting out of his audience. I have watched him work before and it is always with a sense of marvel. Add to that that he is probably one of the nicest peop- Cilassiifiedls Matt-Chew, I'd give you the shirt off my back, but you can't have my leather jacket. Happy Birthday! Love, DSJ le in the world and you've got quite a package. For all of us who had a chance to work with him on Dream, Girl, it was an experience of being in the presence of great talent. Maureen O'Hara did what, to me, seemed the impossible. She appeared in every scene, had over a hundred pages of dialogue round of applause for designing and building those wonderful sets. At first he worked alone as none of us seemed to be willing to take the time to give him a hand. We were all so busy with our own thoughts, memorizing lines, hurrying home to get our papers done in time, etc. But finally in the last week and a half to memorize, costume changes, mood changes, dream sequences. She is a trouper of the first order, a budding actress with enormous charm, and once again one of the nicest people in the world. True talent seems to need no ego trip. It is contained in some personal, internal well. Working with Rob and Maureen on this show was an experience none of us will soon forget. Dr. Martha LoMonaco did a splendid job in staging this play with precision and humor. It was always a source of pleasure for us to hear her marvelous big laugh somewhere out there in the darkness and to know we were making her happy. This was her first play at Wilkes, and I personally look forward to the future plays she will present. Karl Ruling deserves a big we all started pitching in, kids from his tech. class and others from Dr. LoMonaco's acting classes began to appear and give a hand so that we managed to get everything painted, hung, built, and dressed up just in the nick of time. Bob Wachowski did an excellent job as Stage Manager, running the whole show from his back stage position, the script with every light cue carefully written in the margins, calling each change, each cue, each roll of a platform and drop of a curtain on time. This is a very difficult job, and one that is unseen by an audience. Yet, it is the most necessary job of all if the play is going to run correctly. Bob, as usual, did a very professional job. The rest of us were fine. We did our job. We got our and had a ball.

Atum was the source of all gods and all living things; he was associated with -the setting sun. Shu and Tefnut were brother and sister, born from the god Re; Shu was the god of air, and Tefnut was the god of dew. They married and produced Geb and Nut, the god of earth and the goddess of the heavens respeclively. Re would not allow Geb and Nut to marry and ordered them to be separated, thus a separation of heaven from earth. They married in spite of this and produced several children, among them were Osiris, Isis, and Set, three of the most important deities in Egyptian mythology and the three main characters in the Osiris myth--one of the most important myths in all of mythology. The Osiris myth has many versions but the most common and most accepted is as follows: Osiris, now a pharaoh, marries Isis. Set (or Seth) becomes jealous of Osiris, kills him, chops up his body, puts it in a box, and sets it afloat down the Nile. Isis cannot accept her husband's . death and, along with her sister Nephthys, searches for him. They find him and restore his body to life. Osiris' death is avenged by his son, Horus, who looses an eye in his fight with Set. · Well, what do we have here? The forces of Osiris and Isis, symbolizing the forces of vegetation and fertility, have triumphed over the evil Set, · or the evilness of the hot, dry desert where the Nile does not flow, hence, no life. More imporantly Osiris has escaped and cheated death. He becomes the god of resurrection, or the god of the netherworld, and judge of the dead. Isis becomes the divine symbol of a loyal wife. Set be- comes the god of violence. The Egyptians believed that if Osiris can escape death, then so could they. This was one of their most important philosophies--that of immortality. It was one of the most important, common, and unifying forces of the Egyptian people. One other unifying force is the Sacred Eye--the eye of Horus-which will guide you on your road to rebirth. This symbol is analogous to the Christian cross-the one important symbol which, if analyzed and understood, will bring an understanding of the underlying concepts of the Egyp- tian religion, namely an understanding of the "ideal person." The ideal person was. made up of parts. If all the parts were there, then he was complete, or ideal. 11le Sacred Eye was complete. And the only thing that was complete, god or human, was the pharaoh, for the gods did not possess a human body, and the other humans did not possess divine powers. The people, by obeying the pharaoh, were obeying, satisfying, and approaching the ideal. That was their part to play on earth; it was understood. The Egyptians were also concerned with transformation or change. The change was from human to god, which would take place in the tombs, or pyramids. Another change was from god to man, which would take place in the temples. Before the tombs and temples, these universal truths were exemplified in the form of ritual, symbol, names, and/or images. There was a reshaping of Egyptian mythology, or a unification or synthesizing of the many gods and goddesses of the many territories.

If you haven't already guessed, 111 let you in on something: Lora is Patty's daughter. "I still remember Patty playing basketball," said Saracino. "She was very active, a real aggressive player.

It was 6 a.m. and he had just driven all night in hopes of fulfilling a dream. Bellairs, who was then the men's basketball coach at Wilkes College, had heard of an opening on the Maryland coaching staff. "I've always been a confident person," says Bellairs, although he says it modestly. "Growing up in Kentucky, it was always a dream pf mine to coach either there or with Lefty Driesell." Why Lefty? "I like to think of myself as a fired up person," Bellairs says, "and Coach Driesell is a fired up person. You know, I would see him walking up and down the sidelines on a game on telev1s1on. And his teams win a lot. He just caught your eye." Bellairs' in particular. A 32-year-old Knoxville native, Bellairs first met Driesell while working at Lefty's summer camp.

The time he missed really hurt him, though," he said. A lack of pressure on the quarterback and a decrease in takeaways were telling features of the defense's woes. "Another one of our problems was that we had only 16 sacks this season after 44 last season," said Unsworth. "Also, our interceptions were down from 18 to 15." The Colonel offense averaged 297 .8 yards per game, but could only put a mean of 17 points on the board. Senior quarterback Sean Meagley suffered through a subpar season, throwing 22 interceptions and just ten touchdowns. His completion percentage was a low 39.7. "I thought he could've done better," said Unsworth. "I believe he had a confidence problem. Against Cortland State, he had nine catchable balls dropped on him.

When did Unsworth know it would of defensive pressure on him, and he missed some reads. "A quarterback is dependent on so many things: the offensive line, his receivers, field position. Sometimes all of those things weren't there for Sean this year." Meagley's stature (6'0") may have contributed to his interception total, as many were the results of tipped throws at the line of scrimmage. Meagley's main target was Craig Stevens, a junior wide receiver , who made 42 grabs for 696 yards and 5 touchdowns. Stevens emerged as the Colonels' only real deep threat and set the Wilkes single-game receiving yardage record of 230 on eight receptions in a 52-35 loss to Susquehanna. llxJut the big plays? "Craig had a real good year," said Unsworth. "He came you play a lot of young kids, you're going to into his own. We just didn't get the ball to him as much as plays," he said. "They're going to play well for we should have. What he has to work on to improve is plays, then they're going to make mistakes. It's catching the ball and bettering his speed." aperience."

The offensive line, which returned six of its top guns from a highly successful 1987 unit, performed poorly all season. Why? "One of the reasons may have been that they weren't pushed by competition in practice," said Unsworth. "A few guys who might have provided some challenges didn't come out for the team because of injuries or academics. "I think Jim Byrne (a senior guard) had a real good year, but sometimes he tries to do things for other people. "We couldn't really throw any freshmen into the fire because the offensive line is an area that requires maturity. If you look around the country, you won't.see many freshmen starting on the offensive line." The special teams delivered on a regular basis, with freshman kicker Mike Dungen tying the Wilkes single-season record of six field goals (in 12 attempts) and punter Phil Voss, a freshman, booting 58 times for a 33.9 yard average. Their efforts elicited praise from Unsworth. "Mike's an excellent kicker," he said. "He's one of the hardest working kickers I've ever been around. What he has to do is hit the weights and become physically stronger. "Phil kicked better as the season progressed. Sometimes he's too worried about the rush instead of getting the punt off. He made some freshman mistakes, but the experience he got should cure that." Farrell set a Wilkes single-season record for kickoff return yardage with 486 on 27 tries. Freshman Jim Rittinger saw extensive playing time at comerback and as a punt returner. He returned a kick for a 60-yard touchdown against Juniata, a flash of the brilliance that has Unsworth lauding his accomplishments. "There was a great debate among the coaches about whether to play him as a receiver or as a comerback," he said. "We decided to play him on defense because that's where he would see action quicker. Jim can be as good as he wants to be." Are there any other young players Unsworth is counting on for next season? "George Ignaszak, Aubin Sevrin, Phil Condron, Tony Giardina and Darin Heilman all played well," he said. "We have many young guys who are going to be great players. "I think the JV games really prepared some guys for varsity action. There's no way a high school player can understand what playing Division Ill college football is like. "The MAC is a tough league. Six teams on our schedule were ranked in the top twenty, and three made the Division Ill playoffs, two (Widener and Moravian) from our conference. We definitely didn't play a soft schedule." Ah, the firing line. . .could the coaches have done anything differently? "We wouldn't have changed anything 'X and O' wise," said Unsworth. "The problem was lack of execution by the players. Our staff will sit down in the offseason and discuss whether or not we could've done anything differently on the mental or motivational level." Did Unsworth realistically expect a losing season of a 2-8 magnitude? "We tho~ght it might be tough," he said, "but we didn't think it would be that bad." What are his unclouded expectations for 1989? "I forsee a good year. I want the guys to put the work in over the offseason. Our new weight program is great, and we'll finally have a facility (the Marts Center) in which to enact it "Most of all, I want our guys to come back hungry."

Yet, that was what the Wilkes Colonels did for one quarter of football in last Saturday's 47-14 loss to Lycoming at Ralston Field. The Colonels (2-8, 1-7 in the MAC) played a talented Warrior squad to a 14-14 first quarter standstill, matching each exciting play stride for stride. Then the roof caved in as the sta.:k reality of the Colonels' losing season--and the reasons for it--were extremely evident. Simply put, Wilkes was physically outmanned. "Most of the teams we've played this year have had bigger, stronger kids," said head coach Bill Unsworth. The first quarter was a firestorm, with each offense trading a couple of touchdown passes. Lycoming took a 7-0 lead on a 45-yard pass from quarterback Ed Dougherty to wide receiver Vic Olear. Eric Weishans added the extra point. The three-play, 43-yard drive was set up by a Don Kinney interception of Wilkes' Pat Brennan, who was throwing out of a wide receiver's slot. The Colonels quickly returned the favor when quar- Colonel of the Week terback Sean Meagley (14-33, 184 yards, two touchdowns) fired a pass to Craig Stevens (8 catches, 131 yards, one touchdown), who broke two tackIes and raced to the endzone for a 45-yard score. Mike Dungen's PAT tied the score at 7-7. Dougherty and Olear hooked up again with 5:11 left in the quarter from 25 yards out. Welshans' kick made it 14-7. Meagley countered with a perfectly placed 24-yard scoring toss to wingback PJ. Sollazzo. The touchdown capped a threeplay, 61-yard drive. Dungen added the conversion to knot the score at 14-14. The Colonels displayed a great degree of emotion, especially on defense. Unsworth, who's not a proponent of the "psyche factor," was pleased. "We played with a lot of enthusiasm," he said. "We played like we did the past two seasons. "Lycoming is a big rival of ours. The young kids found out what it's about today." Alas, emotion couldn't carry · the Colonels, as the Warriors scored twice in the second quarter and began to dominate line play. Running back Mike Koprowski finished an eightplay, 73-yard march with a twoyard touchdown run. Welshans' kick put the score at 21-14, Lycoming. The other score came on a 14-yard jaunt by wide receiver Mike Holliman. Welshans shanked the extra point, but the five-play, 59-yard left the halftime total at 27-14, Lycoming. The Warriors dominated the second half, scoring three touchdowns. Defensive lineman Don Kinney recovered a Meagley fumble in the end zone, and Welshans' PAT increased the lead to 34-14. The "touchdown connection" struck again as Dougherty hit Olear for the third time, this time from 49 yards out with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter. Welshans added his fifth extra point, and the Warriors led, 4114. Lycoming's final tally came on a 70-yard run by running back Troy Erdman (15 carries, ( -to-be-COi Center. 1 heduled I 1988at 11 a. mark the fi Wilkes wide receiver Craig Stevens (1) battles for a 116 yards, one touchdown).

Also included -in the ceremony will be an academic procession consisting of some faculty and those who will be presenting the degrees. Speaking for the students, will be graduating senior telecommunications major Andrew Morrell. The President feels that the 40 minute ceremony will be a "homegrown program" that will generate a "warm feeling about the College." Breiseth will deliver what he describes as his "most considered speech of the year." He also said that he hopes the event will draw a large crowd that will "fill the building." In addition to being the first viewing of the new building, the opening event will be the first Convocation of the academic year for the freshmen. In past years there has been a Commencement/Convocation ceremony held during the first week of classes in the fall semester to welcome the incoming freshmen. This year, though, the gym was not available because of the on-going construction and therefore the Center for the Performing Arts had to be used. Because the CPA does not have the The Arnaud C.

Dr. Waldner, vice president of Academic Affairs said that the registrar's office would actually benefit the building in "providing a continuous presence." One of the most complainedabout situations at Wilkes is the registration process. The primary problems have to do with the registrar's current location. These problems, including lack of handicap facilities, space, and various other conveniences, supposedly will be remedied with the relocation in the Arnaud C. Marts Center. Among the most imrortant concerns is that of facilities for the handicapped of whic h, in the registrar's current location on South Franklin St., there are none. There would, however, be such facilities at its proposed location. The plan also suggests a registration set up like that of an airline reservation system or bank teller operation so that the various terminals, each equipped with its own computer, will accommodate the heavy flow of students with greater efficiency than before. This will be accomplished in several ways. As before, a student will be at the room's entrance monitoring the flow of students to the next available "teller" but, in its new location, there will be a separate exit to alleviate the doorway congestion. Since the room will be specially designed, including handicap accessibity, for the purpose of registering, the internal space will be better organized, cutting back on the cramped feeling and noise experienced by the registration staff and students. It is hoped that these adjustments, providing a more "congenial environment," will enable the staff to work under less stressful conditions during their long day. These combined improvements will allow for a greater number of students to register during the day wilh less hassle. An 'ldded benefit for the stu- dents is the fact that the facility is large enough to accommodate numerous students indoors; thus keeping students from braving the elements during the presumably shorter waiting period. It was even suggested that the hallways be lined with chairs. Of course the bleachers in the gymnasium could be utilized if needed. The gymnasium .c ould also serve as a temporary finacial information center, as many students were concerned abo.ut the accessabilty of the finance office' s services which are occasionally needed during registration. �Editorial Many Americans are handicapped in some way, either permanently or temporarily. These people have trouble getting to areas which the non-handicapped find easily accessible. Many buildings and facilities fail to take the handicapped into consideration. The Wilkes College Campus, for example, lacks handicap ramps for entry into buildings as well as adequate access to bathrooms and elevators. These facilities are in I desperate need throughout the campus. First, the dormitories are good examples of places without ramps. These places consist of Miner Hall, Sterling Hall, Chesapeake Hall, McClintock Hall, and Weiss Hall. For example, the entrances of Sterling and McClintock consist of only steep stairways and nanow fire escapes. . th er places which · have difficult entrances are the buildings in which classes are held.

In Min.e r, the hall entrances are approximately 29.5 inches wide, and the stall entrances are only 22 inches. These hindrances to wheelchairs should be remodeled to better accommodate the handicapped. Last, some existent elevators are unavailable to most people who need to use them. Most of the buildings are not equipped with elevators, but those that are, sometimes, do not permit use by students. The YMCA does not permit students to use their elevator unless they are moving in or out. One must use the 78 stairs that are steeply inclined to get upstairs.

An ingenious loan program that makes buying a Macintosh as easy as using one. Simply pick up an application at the location listed below, or call 800-831-IDAN. All your parents need to do is fill it out, sign it, and send it. If they qualify, they'll receive a check for you in just a few weeks. There's no collateral. No need to prove financial hardship. No application fee. Best of all, the loan payments can be spread over as many as 10 years. f: Which gives you and your parents plenty of time to decide just who pays for it all. •• Introducing Apple's Student Loan-to-Own Program CONTACT .....~ 2"':~. - John Koch, SLC 426; Joe Bellucci, SLC 113; Barbara Jamelli ©1988Apple Computer. lnr.

On Tuesday, the Lady Colonels traveled to Madison, NJ to take on FDU-Madison. The end result was a 65-45 victory for Wilkes. .

Freshman Sue Charnecki scored 13 points, shooting 5-10 from the field and 3-3 from the free throw line to go along with a game high of four assists. One of the keys for the Lady Colonels in the Lycoming game were to contain Lady Warrior point guard Kim Wood.

The alarm at the Wilkes College Bookstore went off Tuesday evening at approximately 10: 10 because of an attempted break-in. The entry doors, the first of two sets of doors, were forced open, causing the deadbolt lock that kept the building secure to fall to the ground, according to Wilkes security officer, Dale Mark Hughes. Nothing was stolen and the intruder did not get past the first set of doors, according to Erin Ostroski, the manager of the bookstore. Hughes was checking the rear doors of Chase Hall when the alarm sounded. He approached the bookstore from the rear. Seeing no one fleeing the scene, he entered the bookstore. "The door was open approximately two inches and the inner [light] bulb was off," said Hughes. ''The alarm was ringing; apparently it scared the intruder off. "The intruder most likely ran toward South Franlin Street because, as I came from the back, I saw no one running around either side." No one in the library, which is adjacent to the bookstore, saw the escaping intruder. "Very little money is kept inside," Ostroski said. "The merchandise would be the lure for a burglary." The wood around the lock was damaged from the attempt The age of the wood apparently made the lock much easier to break off. Ostroski said that security personnel are considering the installation of steel frame doors. The security team had trouble resetting the alarm, apparently because the door that was damaged was See Break-in page 4 �December 8, 1988 PAGE1WO Dean Arthur Hoover: a loving tribute Dean Hoover was student oriented. His life was dedicated to the students; he even lived on campus. He had very few outside interests, aside from the theater. He was friendly, approachable, and highly intelligent. He did everything to get students through school. I remember recruiting him from Glen Lyon High School. He was a great guy and a great asset to the College. --John Chwalek, Special Assistant for College Advancement He was my student helper at the switch board and during registration, he was a fantastic guy. --Dorothy Schlingman, Secretary, Capin Hall . In all of the years I've known him, he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was friends with everyone. --James Rodechko, Dean of Arts and Sciences As we approach the second anniversary of Art's death our loss remains very real. He was much loved and respected by all of us in his family. We miss his wisdom, his joy especially now at this holiday season, his honesty and his caring. We still find it hard to believe that he is no longer with us. As we drive by Wilkes, we expect to see him walking down the street. Art was and still is a part of Wilkes College, just as he was and still is a part of our family. We miss him so much, but enjoy our fond memories. Our family thanks your family for remembering Art in this special way. --Nancy, Muriel, Aunt Tillie, Mary Lou (Class of '65), Francis, Peter and Aimee (Class of '89) Zaleski One of the most generous-hearted, modest persons I have known, Art always had time to listen. One never learned of his tough days, albeit he had the sensitivity to cheer others when they felt blue and the intelligence to know how best to approach their problems. His presence on this campus enriched Wilkes beyond measure. He is deeply missed. --Betsy Bell Condron, Director of Community Relations When I think of Arthur I think of the old gym. I never attended an event in that building when Arthur was not there greeting people at the door, knowing almost everyone by name, sharing his friendliness and love for Wilkes with everyone. My other picture of Arthur is with students, either with one student or with a group of Wilkes students, encouraging them, sharing their hopes and dreams, helping them overcome temporary setbacks. He had a sense of fun that was contagious. I can think of no one in any of the many colleges and universities with which I have been associated who was so totally faithful and committed to the institution as Arthur Hoover was to Wilkes College. It pains me to knoi,v that he will not be at the door of the new Marts Sports and Conference Center to greet our students and our many fans. However, he is very much a part of that new building in that he is one of the builders of this· College. We still miss you, Arthur. --Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth, President of Wilkes College three things come to mind: hearty laugh, and his College and the studenlS. involved in the student lege. It was common to sporting events, dinner dances, and any other He had his own way of event At one rock co leaving because the ham Arthurdidn'tseeitthat During this holiday season when emotions are guided by our religious values, family traditions, and rememberences of beloved friends and family members, I find myself with very special memories of Arthur. Arthur emiched my life in so many ways that I carry him with me everyday. The memories and emotions I have of Arthur during this special time of the year are vivid and embedded as some of my most cherished recollections of Christmases past. Each of the first seven years I worked at Wilkes we would gather together with Arthur in Dean Ralston's office in Weckesser Hall for a very special Christmas celebration just prior to departing home to our families. I can scarcely imagine a warmer fellowship with friends and colleagues. We would always conclude our parties with a round of carol singing. While our voices were often out of tune, our enthusiasm and sentiments would always harmonize into a spirited effort. While we sang in unison, there was always one exception. Each year Arthur would sing for us in his ancestor's native Polish, "Dzisiej W Betlejem" (Today's Bethlehem). He sang with such emotion that we all realized that this carol stirred special memories of Arthur's Christmases past. As I celebrate this holiday season, "Dzisiej W Betlejem" now stirs for me memories of wonderful Christmases past and a friend so deeply missed. --Paul Adams, Associate Dean of Student Affairs To remember my friend Arthur Hoover is to remember so many good things. I cherish his love of students; his love for this College; his devotion to both. Arthur and I shared dreams as well as troubles; laughter as well as tears. But mostly we shared comradery and a common vision. To become the Dean of Students at Wilkes with Arthur's raison d'etre his untimely loss gave me the same privilege. I think of Arthur each day -- with deep affection and much joy. --Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs When I think of Arthur Hoover, I think "friend." During the eighteen years we both worked in Weckesser Hall, Mr. Hoover must have answered hundreds o( questions for me and always did so cheerfully. He was never too busy to .offer a helping hand! I treasure the memory of our many conversations and our many laughs, and I think his spirit is still very much a part of Wilkes College. --Peggy Corbett, Administrative Aide, President's Office Art Hoover was born in ,the Wyoming Valley and he has never left it. He was born for Wilkes College and blessed it forever with his spirit. His ndomitable, upbeat attitude gave luster to the glow of his beneficent spirit, mriching the generation with which he lived and endowing us with a legacy 'orever. Art was a Wilkes undergraduate and graduate, a faculty member 'teacher), wise counselor, helper, friend to thousands, students' best friend, a :olleague and my closest associate. He can never be replaced. We pray that he benefits of his spirit not be lost, but appear forever in the culture and haracter of Wilkes. --George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs-Emeritus It's hard to believe that Art's been gone for two years -- and probably 1at's the best comment I can make. It seems like yesterday that we ttended meetings together, or I saw him at a ball game . . . Maybe that's ecause so much of Art is still here. I do know that he would really :,predate the Marts Center. It's too bad that he can't be here to enjoy it! --John F. Meyers, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Art Hoover was my Wilkes College.

It seems like yesterday that I was meeting this m an in the seersucker suit in the lobby of the Sheraton Crossgates as I nervou sly awaited my dinner interview for the Director of Residence Life position at Wilkes. Arthur made me feel immediately at ease with his d own to earth charm and unique personality. Within moments I felt as though I was talking to an old friencl. Throughout dinner, as conversation flowed from topic to topic, Art was always quick to bring up Wilkes and all that it had to offer. He spoke with such a fondness for the College to which he dedicated his professional life. I left the interview that evening feeling very enthusiastic about working at Wilkes, and with Arthur Hoover: When I moved to Wilkes-Barre one month later, Art made my wife and I quickly feel at home. Within an hour of our arrival, flowers were delivered to our apartment welcoming us to the "Wilkes Family," from Art. The semester went quickly except for the constant ribbing about the Red Sox loss to his beloved Mets in the World Series. Throughout the semester, I constantly sought out Art for advice and guidance and was always amazed at the patience and time he gave me to insure that I was feeling comfortable in my new position. It was a quiet December evening when I heard Art had died. My wife and I truly felt cheated that we only knew Art for just a few short months. In that time we saw a man who loved his work, his College, and his students. Wilkes suffered a tremendous loss on that December evening, but we have much to be thankful for that Art chose to unselfishly commit his m any talents to the College. --Mark Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs 111 pl h, ta ware of the ollege food regard to the by their pa- br u. roclarify, I amnotan n, and I am not in of wasting any food. you hold the same fully aware that the not in business beit to be their moral ungry.

Exactly whose fault is it that the dining service is not making the profit that they had expected because their bid was too low? The manager of the food service seems to think that it's the students' fault. (I guess I can also assume that it will be the student's fault if the new gym is not completed on time?)

Also, there have been times whe0- I had to stand on my turkeylettuce-tomato-on-whole-wheat sandwich to compress it to a size that would fit into my mouth. The amount of lettuce that is being placed on the sandwiches in the ''Fast Food Favorites" line in one day is enough to feed a colony of guinea pigs for at least a week. Again, a lot of this gets sent to the depths of Pickering Hall to be disposed of. Finally, is it really necessary to surround everything served in the cafeteria with that green foliage? I hesitate to call this vegetarian food. Never have I seen a person scoop up a plateful of this undergrowth with the intention of making a meal out of it. Is it really necessary? I don't recall the last food service going to such extremes to camouflage what amounts to the same food. Mr. Food Service Manager, there are other ways to cut the costs of running the dining hall than to convince your patrons to be good little girls and boys by eating everything that is put on their plate. I don't feel thatyourmethod will be effective. Thank you, Arthur Hoover was many things to all of us. He was a colleague, he was a confidant, he was a teacher, he was a role model, an example. But mostly, to each of us in very different ways, I would have to say for each of us, "Arthur Hoover was my friend." He was just simply, totally, and completely my friend. Arthur didn't have acquaintances--he might of thought of them as acquaintances--but they considered him their friend. As a colleague, eighteen years ago Arthw took me ever so gently, never forcefully, under his wing and taught me the ways of Wilkes -- its rich lore -- just as I've seen him do for Phil Wingert, for Jodi Kest, for Mark Allen, for Mark Sowcik. You didn't have to work for or with Arthur -- he still, gently, became your colleague and helped you. And yesterday morning I was in Art's office with a young man who had an appointment to see Dean Hoover. I had not met the boy before. He sat in front of me and said, simply, "Mr. Hoover always helped me when I was here. He was the ' first person I met when I came to Wilkes. He always helped me." So many hundreds, thousands of students at the College could say the same. As Paul Adams and I began to work at Art's desk, no less that half a dozen letters surfaced--all written this fall--all from graduates--echoing the same sentiment, "You made it possible." "You got me through." "You always helped me." Some of those letters came to Arthur by way of congratulating him on his appointment as the new Dean of Student Affairs. And let the record be clear--how Arthur wanted that job and how Arthur loved that job! Arthur spent his life preparing for that job, following the example of the mentor many of us were privileged to have in George Ralston. And even though his tenure as the Dean was brief, Art made his mark. Those of us closest to him logistically saw his dedication only increase--if that be possible--saw his hours on the job only extended--if that be impossible. And just as we all Anthony J. Krawczyk knew Arthur was fun to be with, Arthur was fun to work with. He made it fun. Although he was a very public man--he knew LEITER POLICY everybody it seemed--he was also a very private man, but you Letters to the Editor are encouraged always knew how he cared about you. And he always made from all. Letters must be signed to time for you.

Atte.ntion all It is fitting we gather at this time of the year for Arthur. members of the Arthur loved Christmas.

Professor Farrar to retire This past Monday evening I watched attentively an episode of the once popular television series "The Paper Chase." The subject matter of the episode evoked a sense of understanding while providing an interest- . ing perspective of a happening soon to take place here at Wilkes. The focus of ''The Paper Chase" was the retirement of a well respected and greatly endeared professor. It highlighted the professor's career accomplishments and the sincere admiration of his students. The most moving scene in the program was when the retiring professor expressed to his class the sense of ac- . complishment he derived from devoting his career to the teaching of young minds.

After years of college I have reached that parting gate through which the flowers of my knowledge must grow, to bloom elsewhere upon the corporate ladder. Alas, I knew it well would come. Yet, parting is sweet sorrow and all that. Beside, let's face it, I've got Senior-itis so bad you could float ships in it. I've been in school over twenty years! Not constantly, you understand, but sporadically. So at this juncture I must take an inventory of my garnered wisdom. Let's see. I've learned to hate philosophy. That's one thing. And math and all those linear equations that I'll never have to struggle with again. That's another. And what, I want to know, will ever remain from any of those lists I struggled to remember to pass some outrageous multiple choice tests? Gone, gone with the wind. But I have learned to appreciate knowledge. I've begun to undcrstand how all things link together, what stars are made of, the significance of iron and granite, and just who Australopithecus afarensis might have been. That's something. And patterns. That's another. Honor and morality and liter- ature. There're a few more: I want to thank Dr. Patricia Heaman for her insight and experience in wnung; Dr. Fiester for his brilliance and his humor; Dr. Kaska for Milton and Shakespeare; and Dr. Gutin for William Butler Yeats. I have also learned that young people are still seeking and learning and loving. It has done my heart good to be among all of you, and to be treated as a friend, in spite of my whiskers. I have learned to be patient. To ask questions. To discover common ground. I have learned to survive on peanuts. I have touched minerals, looked through telescopes, been on television, acted in plays, written this column. Lord, I've been so busy I wonder what I'm going to do back out there in the real world. Alas, the real world. That's where I'm from. A few more hard knocks with a degree in my pocket, I'm looking forward to it. Hey, I've got a new novel. And thanks to Dr. Heaman's help, I've really tightened up. the writing. You see, gentle reader, there is a point to education. These long four years you dedicate yourselves to, sweat for, sacrifice for and achieve, through pure determination, past tests and notes and colds and books. facts and loves and parents and grades, are a special world apart from that real world. Enjoy it now and do it while you're young. It's hard to come back to it later, believe me. I was a lot richer dumb. Dumb is easy to famous garbage collector. A de- Stella, gree in English is not exactly a ticket on a transcontinental jet trip to to success. Hell, I've known cab "ships" were too gave us a ride to drivers with Ph.D.s. So what is the point? Why do we struggle to pass tests, to study and read things we don't even care to know? I guess it all comes under the general rubrick Education. make money. Smart is so much more satisfying. If smart we be. For the measure of a man's knowledge is in knowing how much he does not know. There, see what I've learned? Then there is the small degree of pride that comes from getting the job done, although as anyone who's ever studied the classics will tell you, pride itself is the deadliest of sins. But avarice? Now there's a sin I could get into, especially after spending these last two .years in selfdenial. I want money! I want things! I want a job! But what can I do? What skills have I gained? Maybe I could become a famous Broadway .;,_ actor, or a famous novelist, or a As a wise friend of mine once said, "No matter what they take from you, your house, your wife, your money, nobody can take away your education." Of course, that is back in the days before Alzheimers, but I caught his meaning. So now I've got to pack up my education and head out to greener pastures and start paying back all those damn student loans. Somewhere there's a nineto-five on my horizon with plenty of benefits and I mean to find it Until then, I just wanted to say thanks for being there, for smiling and saying hello, and for reading this silly column which I must now hand over to the next non-traditional student who wants to tum out one extra paper every week for no money. It's been fun. No, more accurately, it's been an education.

Bloom says he likes Wilkes and finds the Wyoming Valley area to be very interesting. He considers Pennsylvania very beautiful, with its empty, wideopen spaces and friendly people. Bloom is especially intrigued by the wide array of churches to be found in the Wilkes-Barre area. He commented · that there aren't many places where one can find such a diversity of churches in a so small an area. All in all, Bloom likes Wilkes and Wilkes certainly likes Bloom. With his friendly manner and wide range of interests, Bloom is able to open the minds of his students to more than just literature read as an assignment.

This time they ended with neither a bang nor a whimper, but a laugh. To close out the semester, and the reign ofBoard chairman Andrew Morrell, the Board presented the comic talents of piano player, ventriloquist Taylor Mason. Rubes® By Leigh Rubin ----.. Mason did his stuff in front of a small crowd in the CPA. Those few who saw Mason were treated to a rare blend of humor that really split your sides. His style was fast paced and strong. This worked for him when he began to do Wilkes-Barre jokes. Two of his favorite targets were King's ("Got a pulse? You're in!") and Penn. State/Wilkes-Barre (The land SAT's forgot"). In fact, he found a poor soul in the audience who actually admitted to being a King's student A great deal of his humor was centered around the entertainment industry. He discussed how Sylvester Stallone makes over $15 million per syllable per movie. He also made jokes about Peanuts, Rap music and The Jetson's ("The baseball team the Astros was named for George's dog. I can hear the dugout talk now, 'C'mon guys, let's win! Rawright...). He also covered sports on television, from ESJ?N ("I watch midgetlesbian bowling at4 a.m.") to a detailed description of John Madden at home with the "CBS Chalkboard." Stand-up wasn't all Mason did, couple of different however.

After three seftJ.esters as Beacon sports editor I leave to go out into the "real world" of journalism or public relations. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with the coaches and athletes at Wilkes College. We didn't always have teams that won every game but the athletes were first class. I've found the coaches tops and delighted to be of assistance any time; for this I am extremely appreciative. This made my job a bit easier and a lot more enjoyable. I'm afraid to start naming names for fear of forgetting someone so 111 just say a collective thank you. Two coaches who have been especially helpful and who I will miss are Coaches Ron Rainey and Jodi Kest. These two people have always been more than willing to lend a hand whenever I needed it Coach Rainey, thank you for your support over the past year-and-a half. The athletes themselves have been wonderful. Whenever I needed information all I had to do was call. I wish all athletes were as cooperative as you people have been. I've had the opportunity to watch Division I wrestlers compete against some of the best wrestlers in the country. It's also been great to have had the opportunity to watch and interview Jeff Steeber,.a basketball player who was able to travel to Europe and play with the Washington Generals and the Harlem Globetrotters. As I said before, I could go on and on thanking people for all the help and information they gave me, but I'd be afraid that I was forgetting someone. The last thing I'd want to do before I leave is hurt someone's feelings. I would like to thank all the writers who, in the past two years, have faithfully turned in stories each week. These people deserve mention because without them my job would heve been extremely difficult. Thank you, Suzanne Payne, Ray Ott, Andy Renner, and Oscar B. Smith for writing this past fall. You all did a super job. Many of last year's writers have graduated but their effort was appreciated. This past year I have had the fortune to work with a superb writer, even if he is a bit of bozo sometimes. My assistant editor Jim Clark has been an asset to the sports staff. I rest easy knowing that the Beacon sports department is in capable hands. Jim, by the way, where are you going to ,:I from next semester? The Sports Information Department 1w saver from time to time. Last semester stepped in to take over for Patty Moran February. With the assistance of Ray Ou, fantastic job. This year Tom McGuire director and has done a super job. More than office has bailed me out when stories didn\ Thanks; Tom. Last, but not least, I woujd like to say gool rest of the fine folks at The Beacon. For the have made my stay at Wilkes very enjoyable memorable. Good luck to Coach Rainey and the Wi men's basketball team for the remainderofthe of luck to Jim Nolan and Marc Graves who are their 1000th points. I hope Coach Kest and basketball team keep up their good work in their opponents. To Coach reese I say thank times you were of great assistance. Good hd your team for the rest of the 1988-89 season. In the past two-and-a-half years I have wi fine sporting events at Wilkes and I thank memories. Besides the experience I've gained I lot of nice friends. Quotes and notes to end the semest 'Time flies when you're having fun." Ah, who said that? Lee Morrell? Seriously, I speak for the whole staff in wishing Lisa Miller, our graduating sports editor, the best of luck in her career and life. As her assistant, I worked with Lisa more than anyone this semester and received the chance to know her as a friend as well as a co-worker. That has been one of the many benefits of my first semester at The Beacon. If there's one thing I hope to extract from her is that eternal enthusiasm for her work. Take care, Lisa. Thanks for everything. Just "keep those keys handy" and you'll do fine. night, Wilkes jumped out to a 10-2 lead and prevented the Lady Falcons from advancing the ball past halfcourt five straight times, gathering three steals and forcing two turnovers. Kest was also worried about her team's youth during the preseason. If these girls play this well this early in their careers, Jodi, I'll bet you're salivitating at the potential of their later years. Sophomore Nicole Kovaleski scores often and acrobatically in the lane, and freshman Denise Carson is a solid ballhandler. Rookie Lorrie Petrulsky is a ******** "Gee, boss...how 'bout a raise?" I would be remiss if I didn't exercise this chance to let the campus community know what a fine job is being done by Tom McGuire, the new sports information director. Tom joined the ship in early September and has been toiling tirelessly to improve the quality of work in the department. And he's succeeding. Most people don't realize that he reports to work each morning at approximately 7: 15 to update statistics and the like. His work day dQesn't end when he leaves the office, as he has to spend many a night by the phone waiting for the results of away Colonel contests. Then he writes up a story so we can all read about it the next day. He also manages to fit the coaching of Wilkes cross country and Seton Catholic High School basketball into his busy life, which also includes an engagement You're a true Renaissance man, Tiger Tom. Take it from Dave-o Kaszuba and 'The Sea Dog' ... congratulations on a job well done! ******** "We're all experts..in our own opinions." The Lady Colonel basketball squad has surpassed everyone's expectations by jumping out to a 4-1 mark. I get the feeling that Coach Jodi Kest is supremely confident in her team's ability to press full court and can pull that rabbit out of her hat anytime her team needs a scoring run. Case in point: Against Messiah on Monday pressure shooter and fellow frosh Sue Chamecki, although a bit erratic at times, provides a spark off the bench. The glue that holds the team together is senior Melissa Kennedy, who's good for a bunch of baskets and boards each time out. They're young but talented, Coach Kest ******** "So close, but yet so far." Coach Ron Rainey's charges are on the wrong side of a 1-5 record, but all of the losses could have gone either way. For example, against Messiah on Monday, the Colonels fought back from an early 13-point deficit to lead 67-64 late, but the Falcons scored the next nine as the Colonels couldn't cash in from the foul line. A change is being made in the starting lineup; Lou Freeman will step in at center, allowing Tom Doughty to shift to forward. Ray Ott will go to the bench to backup guards Marc Grtwes and Jim Molan'. · ··,, ·. ··• ' Nolan, the junior from Williamsport, points for the magical 1000 mark. ******** "West Virginia will win the championship,"--Beano Cook, late The following ten things will take between now and February, says me, The B swami.

Had we won those two, we would have won the meet "We really didn't look sharp, though. It was the first time this year our guys wrestled seven minute matches." Against Oregon State, the Colonels were the beneficiaries of six crucial match points because of a Beaver forfeit at 142. Wilkes' winners were: Kurt Tamai (8-5 at 126); Anthony Diaz (by forfeit at 142); Mike Schroat (by fall at 158); and Charlie Keyes (11-6 - at 177). Brian Bauer gained a 6-6 draw at 118, as did Frank Goldowski (33) at 150. The Colonel losers were: Dave Bonomo (9-6 at 134); Chris Schaud (10-0 at 167); Ray Mendoza (6-3 at 190); and Steve Schannauer (7-5 at heavyweight). "It's frustrating because Bauer, Bonomo, Mendoza and Schannauer out-wrestled their opponents but lost their matches because of small mistakes," said Reese. "I don't ,thik I've done a very good job of preparing this team. It's very hard when you don't have your own facility. The effort from the kids has been great, but we haven't been able to work on everything we've wanted." . Reese feels that inability to prepare comprehensively has shown on the mat "We've looked good, but not top-notch," he said. "And when you wrestle teams such as Navy and Oregon State, you have to be at your best The Colonels travel to Ithaca on December i3. "If we can finish the semester at 6-1 and get into our own facility, we'll be in good shape.

They pull into town, put on an impressive performance, and leave. The Lady Colonels (4-1) notched two road victories last week en-route to their third consecutive road win and fourth overall vic-tory. They crushed Baptist Bible Friday in Clarks Summit, 94-54. They also outscrapped a tough Messiah team Tuesday in - Grantham, PA, 65-59. Wilkes was too powerful and had too many weapons a-gainst Baptist Bible. The Lady Colonels shot extremely well in the first half, jumping out to a 49-30 lead at the intennission. In the second half, the Lady Colonels completely destroyed Baptist Bible with their pressing defense. They allowed only 24 points while registering 45 points with their run-and-gun offense. They were led by Lorrie Petrulsky, who came off the bench to pace the squad with 15 points and four assists. Senior co-captain Melissa Kennedy scored 15 points and freshman Donna Zurawski contributed 12 points and six rebounds. In the Messiah game, Wilkes came out smoking and jumped all over their host in the opening minutes, taking a 10-2 lead. Messiah hung tough and battled back though, tying the game at 23. Wilkes got a three point play from center Lisa Burak with four seconds remaining in the half to give ·the Lady Colonels a 33-27 lead at the break. The second half was tight and hard fought. Messiah came out and put on an impressive second period and took their only lead at 46-44.

Serving Wilkes College since 1947 February 2, 1989 mencement held at Marts Center 113 graduate in ceremony by Michele Corbett Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE - Last Tuesday, January 24, 113 students graduated in the annual Convocation/Commencement ceremonies conducted in the Arnaud C. Marts Sports and Conference Center. . The exercise was the first formal event held in the center which will be officailly dedicated on February 17. Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth stated in an earlier release that, "Convocation is a time for each of us at the College to address our shared purposes and hopes as well as our individual needs and goals." "The Arnaud C. Marts Center is a most appropriate setting for the ceremony because it is the result of hard work and determination by countless people who have contributed so much time, energy and financial support toward achieving some of those objectives," he said. The Reverend Robert Zanicky of the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre delivered the invocation. Dr. George W. Waldner, vicepresident of academic affairs, welcomed the parents, friends, students, and public. Greetings followed from Frank M. Henry, chairman of the Board of Trustees; Breiseth; and Andrew D. Morell, a member of the graduating class who received aB.A. in communications. Morrell spoke to his classmates emphasizing the need for educated people to learn from the past and to put that knowledge towards today's endeavors. "As graduates with masters and bachelors degrees we must keep the arts alive in our lives and in the lives around us," Morrell said. "We cannot afford to let art shrivel up and blow away with the next wind." He challenged the graduates to become more aware of the world around them and to use failure as a learning experience. The next portion of the program included the Armed Forces Reserve appointment of Daniel Francis Rowe who earned a B .S. in Electrical • Engineering. He was commissioned by David Andy Morrell, an '89 graduate, is shown addressing his classmates at the annual Convocation/Commencement. G. Billings, Lietenant Colonel, United States Air Force. Breiseth then addressed the assembly with special attention given to the graduates. He said 'the beginning of the semester is "a time of renewal, with a chance to build upon recently aquircd knowledge and experience, including the opportunity to avoid past mistakes and strengthen newly won competencies." Breiseth implied that this attitude of renewal would be "where the resources will come from to tackle human problems that threaten the soul of America and its future." Fifty-four Bacheiors Degrees and 59 Masters degrees, 40 of which were Master of Business Administration Degrees, were conferred by Breiseth on the class of 1989. Designing students use skills for College by Tom Obrzut Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE - Five graphic-design students at Wilkes recently presented to College administrators new concepts for Wilkes publications. The students were enrolled in an advanced graphic-design class taught by Richard Fuller during the fall semester. Fuller said the idea for the project originated last spring in a conversation he had with George Waldner, vice president of academic affairs, about the college's publications. Their discussion was transformed into a semester-long project undertaken by the students. "The more I thought about it," Fuller said, "the more I realized how important it was for the College to convey a consistant image to the public." The 14-week project began in September with in-depth discussions about Wilkes and the best ways its publications could accurately reflect the institution. "We didn't do anything for six weeks," Fuller said, "except talk about the various aspects of Wilkes." Each student was required to conduct his own "marketing survey" of the college. From their personal research, students learned more about the growth of the College, academic developments and administrative projects. "I asked them to find out what makes Wilkes a unique institution and why do students choose Wilkes?" Fuller said. The students, all upperclassmen, were then better prepared to submit designs for the project. "I found out that most students are looking for a quality education," said senior Matthew Beekman, 21, of Scranton. Pat Potera of Dupont said students she spoke to said they enjoy the one-to-one interaction they have with their professors. Once their research was finished, the students were asked to design a College logo that could be used on all school-related publications. In addition to the logo, they were asked to design a cover for the college bulletin, viewbook cover, stationary and a departmental brochure, See Designs page 4 �PAGETWO February 2, 1989 r---------------------7 "' I The Beacon / I'M SoRRY, SiR.

And remember, Big Brother loves you." He finally looked up from the paper. "And would you like the staff photographer present? The color prints make nice postcards." Sincerely, Barb Carpenter, Parking Committee Chairman Tradition or progress; you decide Argument 1: Wilkes College is a traditional Liberal Arts College that dates back to 1933, when it was e,stablished by Arnaud C: Marts as Bucknell Junior College. In over 50 years of educatmg students, the school has established itself as a breeding ground for tradition; tradition in its 19th Century homes-turned-dorms, its strong student/instructor ratio, and its seal. The seal identifies the college with its picturesque valley scene as well as the name and charter date. It is Wilkes College. ( Argument 2: Wilkes is an up-and-coming college that is on the fast track of 20th Century education and the school is growing with the times. We have a brand new, state-of-the-art Athletic center, a new bell tower and a new symbol that will show the school's upward tendencies. ."The Flying 'W'" shows these tendencies. The believers in argument 1 will tell you that the Flying W better identifies a professional wrestling league or the front of Batman's crime-fighting tights. It is better suited to be the symbol for a bird sanctuary than a traditional college. The proponents of argument 2 will say that the seal is too "official looking." It isn't exciting and fresh. It holds back a college that needs room for growth and a sign of the times -- not times gone by. The college has to choose one and only one of these symbols -- the W or the seal, or one of the new designs mentioned on the front page ("Designing students use skills for College," Page 1). ' Why? The public should only have to identify Wilkes College with one "image." If the school continues to put the seal on some school literature and the W on others, it may look as though each department of the school has its own symbol. Maybe when the school decides on this latest piece of trivia, we can finally get an idea of just who we are. .

Seventy-eight people have died in ethnic violence between Armenians and Azerbaijanis since early last year as the enclave's majority Armenians, who are Christian, pressed for its inclusion in the Soviet Republic of Armenia. The enclave has officially been designated an autonomous region within Azerbaijan since 1923. Azerbaijan's citizens are mostly Muslim. HAVANA - Fidel Castro's sharp rejection of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's program has irritated members of the Soviet community in Cuba, but they have adopted a policy of courteous patience, confident that Cuba will adopt similar reforms. Castro has become increasingly critical of Gorbachev's program of perestroika, or restructuring, in speeches during the past six months, dismissing them last July as "methods that reek of capitalism." Castro has also displayed a growing sense of insecurity in Moscow's policy of detente with the United States. Soviet economic aid to Cuba, now at a rate of approximately $5 billion a year, will continue as it has, but Cuban-based Soviets cautioned that there is an impatience with Cuba's inefficient waste of the money under its rigidly ideological, centrally planned system. Some experts estimate that Soviet aid makes up almost 30% of the Cuban gross national product. February 2, 1989 WASHINGTON - Jesse Jackson said that Ronald Reagan "may be the worst civil rights President we've had in recent memory" in lieu of Reagan's charge that prominent black leaders "are doing very well" by "keeping alive the feeling that they're victims of prejudice." In an interview on CNN, Jackson said that Reagan's c~alle~ge to "the integrity of civil rights leaders is- a divers~on ... He really has been a rich man's president, with gross msensitivity toward basic civil rights for those who have been histoJically denied." Reagan, who in 1983 implied that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. may have been a communist sympathizer, blames editorializing by black leaders for his low standing among black Americans. MIAMI - Three times this decade, police killings of unarmed blacks have triggered riots in Miami, but no officer h~s eyer been convicted in those deaths and many blacks lack faith m law enforcement's ability to police itself. ''.People are willing to endure unemployment and poor housmg, but they cannot endure being brutalized and shot for no reason," Aleem Fakir, an organizer for People United to Lead the Struggle for Equality, said. In the latest disturbance, three nights of violence followed the January 16 shooting of black motorcyclist Clement Lloyd by Miami police officer William Lozano. Lloyd's passenger, Allan Blanchard, died of injuries from the ensuing crash. In the riots that followed, one man was killed, 13 buildings were burned and many businesses were looted. A · week after the shooting, the Colombian-born Lozano was arrested and charged with two counts of manslaughter. ALEXANDRIA, Va. -Political cult leader Lyndon H.

Olhers are disappointed the trend away from grants intent of financial aid was to supplement the cost ge education)," contended Jeanne Allen of the Foundation, a conservative think tank that helped many of the administration's campus policies. "It was never meant to guarantee everyone gets a college education," she continued. "Ronald Reagan's goal was to get back to the original intent... to ensure full access to a college education, but not that it would be fully paid by the federal government." said Reagan laregely succeeded in "making sure people who were deserving got aid money." r President Reagan came into office with other goals, too, like abolishing the Department of , shifting the responsibility for funding campuses hington to the states and, of course, drastically federal budget for schools and colleges. But "the announced intention to decrease expenditures... never materialized," Terrel Bell, Reagan's first education secretary, said It wasn't for lack of trying. In his first two budget proposals and again in 1987, the president tried to cut some major programs by as much as half. "Debt is the greatest legacy of the Reagan administration for students." Fred Azcaratepresident of the USSA "We forced Congress to decide which programs are not expendable," said Edward Elmendorf, who was assistant secretary for postsecondary education from 1982 to 1985. "Congress had a chance each year to take a (vote) on how much programs should be cut, and what their impact would be." "They repeatedly asked for cuts in student aid, but that was rejected by Congress," recalled Charles Saunders of the American Council on Education (ACE), a lobbying group for campus presidents from around the nation. Most direct aid to campuses for libraries and housing were abolished, as were aid programs like student Social Security and the Middle Income Student Assistance Act. In the process of attacking those and other programs, "they did manage to throw student aid programs into disarray and confusion, and we've fallen behind the actual purchasing power of 1980," Saunders claimed. The shift from grants -- which students don't have to repay -- to loans was probably the most significant and longlasting byproduct "The shift from grants was not a fluke," said Gwendolyn Lewis of the College Board. "It will probably continue. We're not as likely to see a shift (back to grants) in the future." In the mid-1970s, Lewis said, 80 percent of the federal aid given to students was in the fonn of grants. By 1987-88, it was down to 47 percent C. Ronald Kimberling, who served in the Education Department under Reagan, blamed Jimmy Carter. "The most astronomical growth in loans came in under the Carter administration," he said, adding the government loaned $7 .8 billion to students in 1981, up from $1.9 billion in 1978. However, the amount of money granted to students also rose during the same period. Much of the increased loan money was given to middle-class students, who had been made eligible for student loans for the first time. Student life, regardless of who started the shift to loans, has been changed as a result Liberal arts students, for example, changed their majors from lower-paying careers like teaching to more lucrative fields because they knew they'd need to repay loans, some said. "Students know they are going to graduate with large debt, and that affects what classes they pick, what majors they choose, what jobs they select when they graduate," claimed Arlette Slachmuylder, president of the State Student Association of New York. "It creates a lot of pressure on the student that hasn't existed in the past." Many students who decide to assume debts while in college now can't pay them back. Just covering defaulted loans costs Washington $1.6 billion a year, up from $530 million in 1983 and about half the total it spends on Stafford Loans (formerly called Guaranteed Student Loans). Increased spending to repay banks for defaulted Stafford Loans accounts for part of the increase in the Education Department's budget during the Reagan years. Nevertheless, the budget did rise, Reagan supporters noted. "When I started," former secretary Bell said, "the budget was $14 billion. Now it's $21 billion. There's a perception in academia that there were cuts, but in actual dollars, there's been an increase." After inflation is figured in, however, student aid programs were actually 9 percent lower in 1988 than in 1980 according to an August, 1988, Wall Street Journal analysis. • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• est Wilkes Snack Bar Presents the 2 for 1 Weeknight Special Serving from 4:00 - lUX)O p.m Menu: Italian Hoagie Two for the price of one!!!!

Dustin Hoffman is going to be up for an Academy Award for best actor in the film Rain Man. Well, that's fine, but it's Tom Cruise who deserves a nomination as well as Hoffman. In fact, it is Cruise who should get the award. Hoffman plays the part of an autistic person named Raymond Babbit He does so with poise and perfection, present in the way he cocks his head gently to the side and the short- stepped paces he makes in his awkward walk. Granted, this is done with enormous talent, however, the actions Hoffman makes throughout the film are repetitious. The story of Rain Man is basically about how Raymond and his brother Charlie grow to be fond of each other. They meet for the first time at the institution where Raymond lives when the brothers' father dies. Cruise learns at his father, who he did not get along with, left his brother $3 million and left him with only some bushes. At first it's the money that Cruise is geared towards. But as he gets to know his brother, he starts to change into a more loving person. Raymond doesn't like the way his life is changed when Charlie takes him away from his home, but he finally adapts, and begins to show special affection for his brother. Cruise plays the part of Raymond's brother Charlie with a potent, feverish pitch that is maintained on a high altitude throughout the film. The way he grins, the way he gestures, and the way he changes from an egotistical, self-centered brat to a caring and adoring brother looks so natural, that you truely believe h~ is a real person. voice) Oz: The combination is dastardly. There is a perfect mixture of gentle mannered humor, specifically from Caine, off-set with raucous hyperactivity shoveled out by Martin. The two play crooks who are on different paths that suddenly meet aboard a train headed for a wealthy area along the Riviera. Caine, thinking he's more shrewd than Martin, coaxes him away from the territory of flourishing females, or so he thinks. Martin, who appears to be after petty amounts of cash and free meals, is actually shrewd himself as he shows up at the lady locale. Caine takes Martin under his wings and teaches him the tricks of the trade. The two scoundrels are just that, as they make their way into the hearts of wealthy women and take them for healthy sums. One scene stands out when Caine is portraying a mild man- -=nered Prince. He tells a woman at his mansion that if he is to marry her he has to bring along his brother where ever they go. The lady is overwhelmed, thinking she will be accompanied by two royal princes. However, Martin ·acts the part of a ·· mentally_ disturbed person who rls corks on his forks (for en he misses his mouth) and does his toilet activities in his pants at the dining table.

Here we see a boy, Luke Skywalker, living a quiet, peaceful life, when suddenly, through a series of antecedent events -- meeting the right people, making the right decisions, and being in the right place at the right time -- finds himself embarking on a journey: he joins forces with the rebels, becomes a Jedi knight, and fights to overcome the evil Empire.

Han Solo, the mercenary, also emerges as a hero. He was a practical guy, a materialist, and he also was capable of compassion but didn't know it. The adventure brought out thi.s quality, this act of sacrificing himself for another. The adventure is symbolically a manifestation of the hero's character. Darth Vader is the evil villian. He is living in terms of himself and the imposed system. He is a threat, but this threat hides behind a mask. When the mask is removed, there is an unformed individual -- a person who is not developed, a person who does not understand his own humanity The mythical hero must deal with his journey with fearlessness if he is going to achieve the desired goal. He must be able to be compassionate, to suffer with others. He must also be prepared to suffer himself. This preparation comes through proper teaching. We are all potential heros, constantly departing on quests, trying to overcome some obstacle. We aren't all fortunate enough, though, to have an ObiWon Konobi to guide us, but we do have the stories of mythology and literature to instruct us. But we must always keep in mind, and be well-informed, of what our limits are -- whether they're psychological, biological, environmental, historical, or whatever: our wishes must be tamed.

While in the woods, under the bo tree, Buddha underwent three temptations, one of lust, one of fear, one of submission to public opinion. Even the roles of the their disciples are similiar, for example, St. Peter can be paralleled with Ananda. Even though the teachings of Buddha and Christ differed, their quests -- their visionary journeys -- are very similiar. (The similarities between them does not prove that one was derived from the other). A more recent mythical hero story can be seen in the movie prepared to sacrifice himself for a higher cause. This is where Ben (Obi-Won) Konobi comes in. He is the teacher. He is the only hope. Through him Luke begins to understand human nature, which leads to an understanding of himself and a conquering of his desires and fears. He is now ready to make that monumental commitment. He fulfills his quest and returns. But he is not the same as when he left. He is transformed. He is a different, better person, in his own eyes -- aware and more imformed. He has helped the society and the people, not for points or fame or fortune, but because he wanted to. Speech Tournament to be held at Wilkes If you wander through Stark Lobby this Friday afternoon and see well-dressed college students making wild gestures and talking to themselves, don't be alarmed. Wilkes College is hosting the Sixth Annual Colonial Speech Tournament. Students from a dozen colleges will be on campus from 3 p.in. on Friday, February 3, through 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 4. Competition will take place in Stark Learning Center. St. John's University, York College, and Bloomsburg University are among the list of schools attending the competition.

Need to get out and laugh? If you do, the Programming Board has got an evening of comedy planned for you. On Saturday, (February 4th, in case you have lost track of time) at 8 p.m., in the C.P.A., Randy Levin, a noted comic from New York City, will visit Wilkes. Levin's experience is extremely diverse. He is a popular name on the college circuit, bringing his 1 1/2 hour show to well over 80 cam uses per year. In addition to the colleges, corporations, such as: Warner Communications and PepsiCo. beg for Levin's talents for writing, directing, or performing in their industrial presentations. Levin is also a frequent visitor to comedy clubs like The Improvisation and Catch A Rising Star. He has also done several television programs and commercials. Levin's unusual relationship with comedy legend Red Skelton shows he _is in good hands. He even followed in the great one's footstep by ~eing involved in a unique project for Reeves Communications. He he! the com an develo Iau h tracks tor television. As a member o[ the Screen Actors Guild,).,evin also finds time to study serious acting.

Certainly shows a whole bunch of versatility, doesn't he? With the Programming Board's past history of bringing quality entertainment to an eager, under-entertained Wilkes community, the best piece of advice available would be to get there early.

Wilkes opened the game in a man-toman defense, but quickly switched to the press, a strategic setup by Kest "Anyone who's scouted us knows that we're going to press," Kest said. The Lady Monarchs were semi-successful in breaking the pressure, as guard Diane Ratchko, who finished with 16 points, handled the ball with aplomb. Forward Maureen Fahey (12 points) came off the bench and scored often from down low for King's to keep them within striking distance. Wilkes' Angela Miller, who didn't start because of disciplinary reasons, scored six points in the second half as the lead swayed back and forth. After the game was tied 6666 at the end of regulation, King's took a 71-70 lead in the overtime. Petrulsky then rebounded a Kelly Ruff shot and scored to gi:ve the Lady Colonels a 72-71 lead. Miller hit two foul shots to seal the win for the Lady Colonels. (Kovaleski and Ruff scored the other two other buckets.) Kennedy and Denise Carson fouled out in the second half, ' but, once again, the Wilkes bench was a weapon at Kest's dis- 1 posal. "We have a lot of depth," , Kest said. "I know I can go to the bench and be comfortable. We didn't have that luxury last season. It's going to pay off down the line." The Lady Colonels (4-1 in the MAC Northwest) face Susquehanna tonight (6 pm at the Marts Center) in a key league contest. A win would go a long way in snaring a playoff spot for the Lady Colonels.

"I didn't feel cheated at all," Graves said. "I looked up and it looked like it was going in and then Ken (Piontkowski) hit it. I didn't know if they were going . call goaltending or not." Previous to the steal, Graves had four fouls against him but never really backed off on defense. "We were playing zone, so it was easier to play aggressive," he said. "I was able to avoid the last foul for a while. The third time I didn't avoid it enough." (Graves fouled out on King's next possession.) Both players believe that with more experience and playing time, the Colonels basketball team can be a force to reckon with in the future. "We have some really good freshmen," Nolan said. "The number of freshmen and the lack of height contributed to the slow start." "These kids, like Jeff Gregory and Wayne "Chum" Henninger, are a lot of fun to play with," Graves said. "This whole year has been a lot of fun. We're having a good time despite the losses. We're young and they're getting a lot of experience." The Colonels (6-10) only have eight games left, but they have gained momentum, winning their last three. continued from page 16 "Nicole doesn't look like a great player, but she always gets the job done," said head coach Jodi Kest. "You think she had a quiet game and then you look at the stats and she has 15 points and 10 rebounds every game. "She works hard and has a lot of desire. She's the type of player every coach wants." "Nicole's a great player, one of the best inside players I've ever played with," added senior co-captain Melissa Kennedy. "She has good offensive moves and is really aggressive on the boards." Kovaleski's excellent inside game has forced opposing teams to collapse inside defensively, resulting in numerous open jumpers for Wilkes' perimeter players. "We feel really comfortable shooting from the outside," said freshman Deb Bredbenner. "We feel that if we shoot and miss, Nicole will be there to get the rebound." Kovaleski's fine play on the court may not be her greatest contribution to the team. Her leadership, experience and friendliness ''I'd like to see us finish strong in the league," said might very well be her top assets. "Nicole has helped the freshmen a great deal," Kest stated. "She is Graves. not loud. She's very soft-spoken. She does whatever is asked of her and "It's definitely going to be leads a lot by example." an interesting last 10 , games," "We have a young team, so I have to show leadership," Kovaleski Nolan stated. said. "I don't like doing a lot of talking, so I try to lead by example." "She makes everyone around her feel comfortable," Bredbenner by Jeff MacNe//y commented. "Everyone looks up to her." Kovaleski has had a great two years of basketball at Wilkes, during which everyone who has watched her has come away impressed. Still, if she decides to transfer to Temple, Lady Colonels fans will be depressed. "It's not because of basketball, " Kovaleski said. "I like all the players and Coach Kest has helped me develop a lot as a player and as a person. My leaving would simply be because of my academic program. "I haven't really thought about not playing anymore, but this could be my last season of organized basketball. Tonight's could be my last home game." It could also be the last chance to see a great player and a class act. �PAGE FOURTEEN February 2, 1989 Lady Colonels were hungry from st To set a goal in the form of a certain number of victories is a practice for the cowardly or hungry, depending on one's point of view. Some feel it is a hindcrance that creates a set plateau of satisfaction that, if reached, can't be psychologically surpassed. These theorists believe all games can b~ won. Damn the odds! Promoters of the other end of the spectrum have realism as a bedfellow, reasoning that a team should create a light to tunnel to, a star to reach for. Even if it is attained, they say, a team will keep and even increase its desire. Before the 1988-89 basketball season, the Lady Colonels set a goal of 16 victories. Coach Jodi Kest thought a .500 slate would be nice, thank you. Considering that her 1987-88 squad threw a 7-17 record into the archives, Kcst was setting a high goal. Her players thought even higher. The Lady Colonels arc now 13-5 and look to be headed for the MAC playoffs. Damn the odds, Jodi. "If someone would have told me a year ago that we'd be 13-5 at this point, I wouldn't have believed it," Kcst said. "We're winning because the younger girls understand the system and the defensive principles that we use. I thought it would take longer for them to pick it up." Other, more intangible reasons have also played a part in the turnaround. "The girls arc having fun, both in practice arrd the games," Kcst said. "That's important. If they lost that, it would be tough. The girls really get along." Helping the team along on the court has been sophomore forward Nicole Kovalcski's specialty of late. Without question, she's the franchise, the bonus baby, the go-.to gal. Her per-game averages of 12.1 points and 8.9 rebounds lead the team, but more importantly, she constantly performs at crunch time. Book it. "Nicole always comes up with the ball," Kest said. "She's the kind of kid you want in at the end of the game. If you get her the ball, you know it's going in. "You look at her on the floor and she's playing against kids who arc bigger and stronger and you don't think she'll get the job done, but she docs. She'll dive for the ball, take charges. ~he's the type of kid who will go home and wash the uniforms. "I wish I had 12 players like her. She's only going to get bcucr and better." Unfortunately, Kovaleski may not suit up for the Lady Colonels next season; she's considering transferring to Temple's School of Pharmacy. · "I haven't made all the decisions yet," Kovaleski said. "I haven't been accepted ycJ. I'm undecided." Kest would decidedly Jove for Kovaleski to stay. "I'd like to try to talk Nicole out of it," she said, "but I won't do that. It's her decision." One player who will play a full career is freshman guard Lorrie Ann Petrulsky. A recent addition to the starting lineup, Pctrulsky poured in 22 points in the overtime win over King's on January 25. The lefty can stick it, but Kest is still searching for her role. "Lorrie is a clutch player, but I think I like her better off the bench," Kcst commented. "If someone else is starting and not having a good night, I know Lorrie can come off the bench and make something happen. If she starts and isn't playing well, I don't have that luxury." Pctrulsky rotates with freshmen Debbie Bredbenner and Donna Zurawski, players in whom Kest has supreme confidence. "All three players are comparable," she said. "They are an example of the depth we have this year, something that just wasn't available before. If Nicole or Melissa Kennedy were to get hurt and in foul trouble, we've got players like Kelly Ruff, Lisa Burak and Krista Zoka who can go in and they won't hurt us." The point guard spot is the exclusive home of freshman Denise Carson, who puts 8.2 points in the bucket per contest. Her composure, evidenced by her low turnover ratio (3.2 per game), and her ballhandling skill solidify the offense. "She's made some key shots," said Kest. "I don't think she realizes that she's a freshman." Carson touted frosh Sue Chamecki, has left the Learn.

B oih hit 1,000-pqint mark Graves, Nolan reach scoring milest by Lisa Miller Special to The Beacon WILKES-BARRE - Williamsport Arca and South Williamsport Area High Schools have something in cbmmon other than a name: both have sent 1000-point scorers to Wilkes College. Marc Graves, a graduate of Williamsport, scored his 1000th last Wednesday night in a game against cross-town rival King's College. Jim Nolan, a product of South Williamsport, hit the magic 1000 mark on January 6 against Bloomsburg Univcrsty. Both players also scored more than 1000 points in their high school careers. Nolan graduated from South Williamsport with 2106 points, which places him 26th on the Pennsylvania high school scoring list. Graves said he ended his high school career with "1000 and change." Going into the 1988-89 season, Nolan needed 114 points to reach the millennium. A slow start kept the Wilkes shootingguard from hitting the milestone mark until the eigth game of the season. "I got off to real slow start," Nolan said. "I didn't think it would take until the eighth game. I think the slow start showed on the whole team." Nolan is a junior business administration major. Last season, he became only the third Wilkes player to score 500 points in a single campaign. He ended the year with 527 points. This season, he is averaging 18.9 points per game. Entering the last game against East Stroudsburg before the semester break , Nolan need- cd 20 points. Afterward, he needed but seven. "We were getting beat badly. To get it in that game would have been a downer, " Nolan said. In the first half of the season, Nolan scored 27 points against King's, his lone pre-vacation game over 20. After the break, Nolan started to pour in the points. In last week's King's contest, Nolan pumped in 34 to help the Colonels defeat the Monarchs, 90-73. "There was a bit of added pressure (to score a 1000 points), but it was more of regaining the confidence and getting back into the groove, " Nolan said. "The slow start hurt me this year.

"There's a lot of pressure on him to rebound the ball. He's been doing the job, and his rebounding trig- gers the fast break, something which we have the people for." Martin has also taken notice of Doughty's positive personal characteristics, which are important intangibles on a youthful team. "Tom comes and gives 110% all the time," Martin said. "He's become a leader on and off the floor. He's very positive and enthusiastic." Doughty downplays his personal importance to the squad. "I don't do it alone," . he said. "As far as rebounding goes, Rob Neira and Steve Tate help out a lot. A lot of times, they'll box someone out and that leaves me free to get the ball." Does Doughty feel pressure on the court? "You've got to thrive on the pressure," he said. "I realize, because I'm one of the smallest centers in the league, that I'm a role player at that position. "By the same token, I haven't done that badly." Last Monday at Drew, the Colonels trailed 35-27 in the first half, but produced an incredible 22-0 run that stoked them to a 47-35 halftime lead. The run increased to 4 7-4 as Wilkes blew the game open in the second half. Nolan, who was recently named MAC player-of- the-week, led the Colonels with 23 points. At Delaware Valley, Steve Tate hit a reverse jump shot late in overtime and Graves rebounded a final Aggie attempt as the Colonels escaped with a win. Graves and Argeptati both hit for 20. The win that got the ball rolling was the demolition of King's at the Marts Center. In every sense of the word, the Colonels jumped the Monarchs. "We won because of defensive intensity and enthusiasm," Martin said. "We need to play with emotion to win because of our lack of size. "Against King's, we proved that if we play with fire, we can beat anyone." The highlight of the night was Graves scoring his 1000th point on a goaltending call after a spectacular steal. "It felt good," Graves said. Nolan scored 34 to lead the team. "It's the strongest game of my career," he said. The Colonels host a tough Susquehanna squad tonight (8 pm at the Marts Cen.:er). A win is needed to stay alive in the MAC playoff race. "We've won three in a row, Martin said. 'Tm confident that we can do some damage." 42 does more harm than good al Collegiate Athletic Association passed a 14 that could shatter the dreams of hundreds student-athletes. rule, Proposal 42 (a supplement to ), has created a great deal of controversy. coaches see the rule as discriminatory toward IIUdcnts, robbing them of a chance for a free CAA reformers view it as a way to keep exploiting young athletes. Proposition 48, freshmen cannot participate in ablctics if they fail to achieve a 700 on the AjMitude Test (SAT) or a 15 on the American and if they do not graduate from high school :.o grade-point average in a core curriculum. freshmen can remain on scholarship during ,-while they adjust to college life and work at 6cir grades, but they lose that year of athletic "Besides, the testing is proven to be discriminatory against inner-city kids, whether they are black or white." "The SAT is very unfair to the lower class," Mark Graves, Wilkes basketball captain, said. "There is some . material on the SAT that kids have never seen." "Don't take the year away from them if they don't pass," says John Chancy, Temple University basketball coach. "We're taking something away from the kids who need it most. That's one less year we have to give them the full benefit of the structure." 42 prohibits colleges from offering athletic ps to students who do not meet these criteria, gihc student to pay his/her own way for the first as losing the first year of athletic eligibility. 42 is wrong for several different reasons. \fair lo use the SAT to determine eligibility. boards arc culturally biased against minorities of the lower class and don't always accurately will do well in college. Ashouldn't legislate against schools," Ron ilkes basketball coach, said. "Each school lbcir own standards. If the individual school it is okay. If you were on the administration you wouldn't tell the administration at what to do, and that is what the NCAA is It is unjust to make student-athletes pay to attend their first year of college. For the mos~ part, the kids who are ineligible are poor and could never afford to pay their way. For them, the only way to go to college, many times, is on an athletic scholarship. "It (Proposal 42) is wrong," said Wilkes heavyweight wrestler Steve Schannaucr. "A lot of kids would not be able to afford their first year of college. They arc punishing the kids by denying them a scholarship. They arc being deprived of an opportunity and a chance to succeed." The loss of one year of athletic eligibility is the most unfair and puzzling part of Proposition 48 and all accompanying legislation. Why take that year away? What purpose docs it serve? It's fine ,,. "'"'ake athletes sit out a year, but they should still be a!, .tea ,. full four years to compete. Proposal 42 has been attacked by many college coaches in an attempt to revoke it before it goes into effect in the fall of 1990. Leading the opposition,is Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson, who walked off the court during a January 14 game against Boston College and refused to coach in a January 18 game against Providence to protest the rule. "You're not solving a problem by saying a young man is not qualified for a scholarship because he doesn't have 700 on his SAT," Thompson said. "Athletics have been one of the few hopes that socio-economically disadvantaged kids have had to introduce themselves to society. "If these young people at this point in time no longer belong in higher education institutions because of the 700 on the college boards, what are we saying?" Thompson's actions have worked to the point that several college presidents have agreed to reconsider their positions if another vote on Proposal 42 arises before its date of enactment. Dale Brown, Louisiana State basketball coach, has also blasted the rule. "What they're saying is we have a colored water fountain here, a white one here," he said. "We'll allow you to drink from the .white one if you pass this test. It's really disgusting. "If I could drop out of the NCAA, I'd do it." Aspiring athletes only ask for a chance at an education. If the chance is there and they don't make it, no one will be sorry. But if the chance isn't given, everyone should be.

Whatever the reason, 10.5 percent of the nation's freshmen reported feeling "depressed" frequently, up from 8.3 percent of 1987's freshmen and 8.2 percent of the 1985 freshmen class. More than one of every five freshmen felt "overwhelmed by all I have to do." Green added freshmen may be unhappier than previous generations because "a larger number than ever before aren't attending their first-choice college." "First-choice" colleges are often expensive, and the survey indicated students aren't getting enough financial aid to afford them. Those who are getting aid are getting it in the form of loans that have to be repaid. Only 15.6 percent of the students entering college for the Fall '88 tenn received Pell Grants, which don't have to be repaid. It was the lowest level in the survey's history, Green said. In 1980, almost a third of the freshmen got grants. _"The federal government has, in effect, cut back on most of the financial aid programs intended to help college students from low- and middle-income families," Astin concluded. As a result, he said, "the burden of paying for college has shifted increasingly to students, their families and the nation's colleges and universities." The resulting money pressure apparently has changed the way the freshmen view the world, Astin and Green said. The economic recession that plagued fam- ilies nationwide in the early 1980s and continues to plague them in many fann and energy states changed the students, too. "These . are children of economic upheaval," Green said. "The recession of the '80s was worse than anything since the Depression. Their loss of faith and preoccupation with jobs comes from that." A record number of freshmen 72.6 percent said they were going to college primarily to get higher-paying jobs later in life. By contrast, a majority of freshmen in 1968 viewed "the college years as a time for learning and personal development," Green said. This year's freshmen "are like their grandparents who experienced the Depression. �PAGETWO February 9. 1989 •,._j_j__,..__,,,j.., <:\' ,:· .··.···:: ·······-:-:-:•:•:-:-:- ::;:;:::::::;:;:;:::;:;:=:;:::::;:;::::::::::::::::::~:;:::: ·-·-· ·-·-·-·-·-·..... -.-.-.-.;❖:❖:❖:-:- -:-:;:::::::-:::-:::::::;:'.:;:;:•:::::::::::::::::::::::::;:;.;::.;:;:;:;::::::::::.;-:,:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:,:-:❖:•:-:-:-'.-:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:-:-·-:-:-:-:-:- Public outcry kills pay raise for Congress How would you like to be able to vote yourself a 51 percent pay raise for doing no additional work? It would be nice wouldn't it. Well just this week members of Congress had a chance to vote themselves a hefty pay raise. Their salaries would have risen from a meager $89,500 to $135,000. Not exactly pocket change. However on Tuesday the House voted to reject the raise by a vote of 380-48. And less than three hours later, the Senate followed suit by a vote of 94-6. President Bush signed the resolution that killed the pay raise hours before it would have become law midnight yesterday. My question is, where would the money for their salary increase come from? Our national debt is evergrowing with no end in sight and for members of Congress to think they can vote themselves a $45,500 raise is downright ridiculous. \ But before they could take action, the American public rose to the occasion. The final death knell for the raise? Public outcry. A Gallup poll showed that more than 82 percent of the American public opposed the pay raise. - OPINION by Tom Obrzut The controversial raise was recommended by a special comm1ss10n that reviews congressional and federal employee pay every four years. Approved by former President Reagan, the recommendation had been supported by Bush after he took office in January. "I believe some level of pay increase is in order and I will be working with the House and Senate leadership to develop proposals to achieve that end," President Bush said in a statement Tuesday night. It's as if they don't make enough money already. I know I can live on $89,500 a year and I'm sure you can too. All in all, the issue is dead, for now, but it's finally nice to see that the American public has been heard and, more surprisingly, listened to, even if it is just once, by members of Congress. ,----------------: 'r:he Beae.:on I Serving Wilkes College since 1947 I VOL.

She had been missing for almost a week. The abduction and murder of Helen Demchak came in the midst of attempted abductions being reported in the area. These abductions are not restricted to the very' young and the very old. College students are just as susceptible to being grabbed off the streets as anyone else. As a student you should always be aware of what is going on around .you. You must be aware of your surroundings. In conjunction with this week's special health section, (commemorating National Drug and Alcohol Week), The Beacon would like to give some tips on how to stay safe on campus. (1) - NEVER walk anywhere alone, especially at night. If it means dragging a friend away from studying, do it. If it's not worth getting there safely, it's not worth getting there at all. (2) - If you can't find a friend to walk you to wherever you want to go, or it is too late to find someone, call security at ext. 4999. There is always someone on duty willing to walk students to where they must go. (3) - If you are in a building - such as the SUB - late at night and you know you are alone, close and lock the door, if it's possible. Never leave yourself open to a defenseless attack. (4) - Walk where it is well lit and well traveled. The best place to walk is along River Street. There are a good number of street lights and always cars passing by. 16th. Remember the people on S.G.

However, I wouldn't go so far as to imply that S.G. members do nothing more than attend meetings once a week. S.G. members worked in small groups to plan Homecoming Weekend. Aside from the 400+ people who attended the dinner dance, numerous people attended the boo-fire and Saturday night dance, took part in the display contest, and watched the half-time activities. In early November, S.G. sold over 400 tickets to benefit United Way. Inafewweeksover300people will participate in Winter Weekend.

"It's been a very mixed bag." dramatically shifted the nature of student aid from grants to loans. For good or ill, the shift is likely to be President Reagan's most enduring reform of American colleges. "We're not as likely to see a shift (back to grants) in the future," observed the College Board's Gwendolyn Lewis. Otherwise, observers think historians won't be able to point to many other long-term impacts of the Reagan years on the way students go to college. When pressed, they mention how William Bennett, Reagan's second Education secretary and "drug czar" in the Bush administration, helped start a lively national debate about the quality of college education. · Bennett regularly blasted the nation's higher education leaders as wasteful price gougers who pushed for higher federal funding, raised tuition exorbitantly and offered students poor educations. Such tactics, said Allen, effectively focused public attention on costs and quality. "Bill Bennett made sure people know what's going on with their taxes," she said. "There's an awareness and concern about American education that was generated during the Reagan years," agreed Terrell Bell, Reagan's first Education Secretary. Others, however, say the tirades merely alienated educators and did nothing to improve higher education. 0One of the biggest failures of the Reagan administration," said Bob Aaron of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, "was that it failed to maximize the use of the presidency as a bully pulpit. It was erratic. It was not sustained." Faculty and administrators were so busy defending themselves against such attacks that they had no time to work on ways to improve their classes. "In terms of innovation, I'd give them an absolute zero," Saunders said of the Reagan administration . Second of two parts Washington, D.C. - When Ronald Reagan left office last month in a flurry of farewell broadcasts and parties, he left behind much of the ambitious college agenda he outlined eight years ago either unaccomplished or simply abandoned. That's good news to Charles Saunders of the American Council on Education, which represents college presidents in Washington, D.C., "Fortunately, the Reagan administration's legacy is not as serious as they would have liked." Yet the administration's failure to accomplish _many of its campus goals - abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, shifting the responsibility for funding campuses from Washington to the states, ending alleged waste and fraud and getting colleges to adopt courses that incorporate "family values" - is upsetting to others. "They weren't successful," said Jeanne Allen of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that helped formulate much of the administration's education agenda. "There is little legacy." Not all of Reagan's higher education goals remain unreached, of course. Officials kept their pledge to reduce federal spending for higher education by halting direct aid for campus housing and libraries and by doing away with aid programs like student Social Security and the Middle Income Student Assistance Act.

Duke "won" a nationwide location search conducted by the soap opera's producers, who will use the campus fraternity row to shoot an episode featuring "Fraternity Row," the program's "soap within a soap." "Duke best met the need for a fraternity row location," explained ABC spokesman Jason Bondeross. ABC, in trying to earn some publicity, last fall placed ads in 50 campus newspapers, and ran a commercial during the program, asking student viewers to write and explain why their campus would be the perfect location for the show. The producers, said Bondeross, hoped to build excitement for the show among students, who are among its biggest fans. "Soap viewing among college kids is very big." Students from all across the U.S. responded, Bondeross said, sending not just letters but videotapes, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, sweatshirts and photographs extolling their schools. "The kids were very creative, very inventive in the submissions they sent in," Bondeross recalled. Duke senior Glenn Zellman did the best. "Once at Duke you'd be amazed by the beauty and charm of the university and its surronding areas," Zellman wrote, describing campus buildings and woods that would wort well with the soap's story line.

In a poll of 200 Rutgers University at Newark students, the Observer, the campus paper, found that almost eight of 10 collegians skip classes. Asked why they cut, students said they were bored with the class or the instructor, that they needed to study for a different class, that they were tired, could not find a parking place, had to work, were "drinking in the pub," or claimed to have "better things to do." �PAGE SIX February 9, 1989 S.G.'s Winter Weekend set WILKES COLLEGE Student Government resumed its meetings for the Spring '89 semester on Wenesday, Jan. 25. The main concern of last week's meeting on Feb. 1, and the one previous, was the S .G. sponsored activity, Winter Weekend. The theme of the event is "cartoons." Teams will consist of sixteen members: eight men and eight women. Each one of the twenty teams will compete in various challenges ranging from volleyball to relays in pursuit of points. There will be a dance which, as well as being open to the entire student body, Winter Weekend participants will be required to attend for points. At the end of the weekend, a winning team, along with first and second runners up, will be declared and prizes awarded. Applications can be picked up in the libray, the information desk in Stark lobby, Residence Life office, or in the Deans' offices on the third floor of the SUB. The participation fee is $16 per team (i.e. $1.00 per team member) and must be submitted with the application to any of the afore mentioned places by Tues., Feb. 14. Commuter Council and Inter Residence Hall Council reiterated the details of the Valentine's Dinner Dance to be held this Friday, Feb. 10 at Genetti's beginning at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $9 per person and the fish and chicken dinner will be served family style. C.C. stated that out of the 110 applications they recieved for parking permits, 71 were awarded to those who met the most requirements such as distance, work and other tight Distinctive Designs 109 S.

Representatives froin the Engineering, Nursing, and Biology clubs in addition to The Society of Women Engineers presented and read their first request for funds for the S.G. Board's approval. The representatives asked for $218.35 per club, totaling $873.40, for their third annual dinner dance. The dance would be open to the whole student body. Another major issue discussed during last week's meeting was the lack of school spirit and how S.G. could play a more active role in , the revitalizing process. A spirit committee of four S.G. members was formed to organize activities at two major events by Michele Corbett such as the Free-Throw Competition Beacon News Editor at last night's basketball game. After these two events, two WILKES COLLEGE -As of new members will rotate into the Feb. 1, undergraduate on-campus committee.

Dean of Student Affairs Lampe-Groh commented that the increase was meant to encourage student employment by offering more competitive wages. The benefits of working on-campus include more flexible hours and convenient locations. The salary increase at the College will be a definite advantage to those students trying to pay off debts. k T.

Part of a plan to make the Black Student Coalition more well-known includes the possibility a series or commercials on Wilkes Today. Presently, they would like to let the campus know that February is Black History Month. They feel it is their duty to let people know that there are successful, interesting black people.

Those of us who drink know how alcohol aff~ts us, but not everyoneknows what alcohol can do to their health. When most people drink they don't think about the effects of alcohol on their bodies nor about what excessive drinking could do to their lives. Different people drink different amounts and types of alcohol, but one 12 oz. beer, one 4 oz. glass of wine and a 1/2 oz. of whiskey have the same alcohol content. One thing which may indicate how much a person drinks is the reason why that person is drinking. Responsible drinkers drink along with other activities (not using alcohol for its own sake); drink with others (drinking alone can lead to problems); and avoid intoxication by drinking slowly, eating food and paying careful attention to their reactions Then there are others who drink to get drunk, to block out, or escape from problems, or to substitute for close relationships or challenging work. Many people do not know that there are five stages of intoxication. The first stage, or the "happy" stage, is characterized by increased talking, friendliness and relaxation. A person has fewer inhibitions and worries. There is some loss of judge7 ment and efficiency. In the second, or "excited," stage, a person may ~ emotional or exhibit erratic behavior. His/Her thinking is impaired and reactions are slowed. In this stage, a person will have poor judgement and loss of control over actions. With continual drinking, a person will enter the third, or "confused," stage, where he/she will stagger and become disoriented. He/ She may become moody and his speech may slur. In the next stage, one might be unable to walk or stand , and thus, be approaching paralysis and unconsciousness. In this fourth stage, or "stupor," vomitting occurs. In t~e last stage, the person be- comes comatose. He/She becomes completely unconscious, with few if any reflexes. It is' also likely that death may occur from respiratory paralysis. So, one can see that alcohol can have more than a drunken effect on us. Itmayhaveadeadlyoneifwe're not careful. Because alcohol is a toxic drug and affects our whole system, it can cause damage to the central nervous system resulting in: poor vision, loss of coordination, memory loss, loss of sensation, mental & physical disturbances and brain damage. These impairments may cause someone to act or do something he wouldn't do if he was not under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol also impairs and eventually destroys the liver's functions by causing a chemical imbalance, inflammation and cirrohosis, which can lead to kidney failure. The digestive tract is irritated by the alcohol, possibly leading to canceroftheoral cavity; irritation of the esophagus; stomach damage; inflammation of the pancreas; digestive problems; and nausea. Heart disease, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and heart attacks have also been associated with alcohol. Alcoholic women are prone to difficult menstruation, miscarriages and infertility while alcoholic men can develop problems like impotency and sterility. Other drugs people commonly take also impose health risks to users. Mild tranquilizers, such as Valium and Librium, cause drowsiness, decreased muscular coordination, confusion, skin rashes, constipation, menstrual irregularities and alterations in sexual drive. Although Valium is the most frequently prescribed drug of any type in the United States, itis also the most frequently reported in connection with emergency room visits caused by misuse or overdose. Barbiturates are primarily prescribed to treat insomnia and anxiety . Barbiturates such as BEER - Killer in disguise. Amytal, Nembutal, and Seconal, are considered the most dangerous central nervous system depressants used in medicine today. Tolerance to barbiturates is easily achieved in about two weeks, so that more is needed to produce the same effects. The increased dosage will lead to headaches, grogginess, and a decrease in motor performance for several hours. Once a physical tolerance to alcohol has developed, the margin between a sleep-producing dose and a fatal dose is dangerously narrow. As little as two drinks taken with a moderate dose of barbiturates can cause an overdose. Drugs which were not mentioned (i.e. nicotine, marijuana, LSD, cocaine, etc.), students must realize, may also have a hazardous effect on the body. If you are using any drug, either recreationally, or for medical purposes, you should find out the effects of those drugs. Drugs affect your behavior, thinking, sex driveand your life. To get more information on the drugs you use, you can ask your pharmacist or you can contact College Health Services. Another good source is the library. There have been many books written about drugs and their effects. So to prevent drug abuse, educate yourself. Its your life!! �HEALTH2 February 9, 1989 Concerned about a friend?

B.A.C.C.H.U.S. offers a safe ride hom The B.A.C.C.H.U.S. (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) Chapter of Wilkes College is in the process of instituting a safe-rides program. This service will be open to any student - commuter or resident - who feels they have consumed too much alcohol to drive safely. Any student in this situation can call a cab company for a free ride back to campus. The maximum cost to B.A.C.C.H.U.S. for a cab ride has been set at approximately $6.00. This would be the cost of a cab ride from the Woodlands back to campus for one to four people. Students may call for a free cab ride back to campus from anywhere within this approximate radius. The cab will drop students off anywhere on campus. Commuter students will be issued stickers with the name and phone number of the cab company they are to call. These stickers can be attached to student identification cards. B.A.C.C.H.U.S. will monitor this program thru the use of student identification numbers. The cab drivers will record the identification number of the students utilizing the service. These numbers will be turned over to the members of B.A.C.C.H.U.S. to be compared against a master list. There will be no admin- Health care Ignorance is never bliss What do Ralph Nader, Gloria Steinem and Dr. Tim Johnson have in common? Give up? They're all consumer advocates. While Nader takes a hard line on faulty cars and food additives, Steinem and her colleagues promote women's issues, including health car needs, rights and responsibilities. Of course, Johnson, the friendly medic of GilJ2Ji. Morning America, struggles to put medical complexities into a neat, easy-to-use package equally accessible to the laborer and lawyer. But students are health care consumers also, and they need information. Within the past decade, the economic crunch has stretched student's limited economic resources. Health care hasn't been immune to rising costs. In fact, it has consumed a greedy 11 percent of the gross national product in rec_ent years. As a result, many are taking a serious look at the American health care deilvery system in an attempt to keep their costs as low as possible. There are many areas for consumers awareness within the system. Choose your doctor wisely, looking carefully at the alternative delivery systems. Think before you buy. Does the practitioner offer the services you really need at a price you can afford? Don't hesitate to compare costs for routine or acute care. Also, call several pharmacies before you get that prescription filled. Investigate health care insurance carefully before enrolling. Don't wait until you need to file a claim to determine the limits of the plan. When health care is the product, ignorance is never bliss.

Acquaintance rape can be avoided by expressing intentions clearly before you get into a sexual situation - know your limits.

Colleges nationwide have initiated campaigns on rape and date rape awareness through special organizations, services and presentations of information to raise consciousness of both males and females.

You may feel embarrassed or guilty, but remember a crime has been committed. Don't let anyone tell you it was your fault If you are assaulted remember the following: SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE. - Do not disturb anything at the scene of the assault - Notify the police. Reporting the assault is not the same as prosecuting. The decision to prosecute can be made later. A police officer will assist you in going to the hospital, and in contacting supportive friends, family or counselors. - Do not shower. If you shower, you will destroy valuable evidence that can be used against your assailant if you decide to prosecute. - If you change your clothing, place each garment in a separate paper bag.

UConn is a large school with a big eastern basketball team, the UConn Huskies, and a reputation of being the 6th highest ranking party school in the country.

Then fantasize playing basketball against the best known team in the world. This became a reality last summer for former Wilkes basketball great Jeff Steeber. Steeber, who played for the Colonels from 1984-88 and is tenth on the all-time scoring list with 1221 points, landed a position on the Washington Generals, the perpetual opponent of the Harlem Globetrotters. His good fortune resulted in a dozen week trip to Europe. He barnstormed through England, France, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Italy, West Germany, Austria, Hungary and Switzerland. How did this happen? "Al Cocker, the head basketball coach at College Misericordia, called Coach Rainey and asked if I would be interested in playing for the Washington Generals," said Steeber, who has re-enrolled at Wilkes. Former Wilkes basketball player Jeff Steeber. "I filled out an application and sent it back to Generals head coach Red Klotz, who's from Margate, New Jersey. I never thought I would hear anything about it. "Then a month later, I got a call from Cocker telling me there was a position open on the team. If I wanted it, it was mine, but I had to let him know that day. I talked to my parents and I decided to do it." Most people, when they think of the Globetrotters and the Generals, think of a big act, a farce. The Globetrotters perform their tricks and the Generals go along with them. This, contends Steeber, is not true. "We played to win," he said. "We gave 100%. They do their skits and you have to know how to run through them, but other than that, we played hard and we played to win." The tour was a great experience for Steeber, who got a chance to see many different countries and get a taste of the lifestyles ·a nd cultures of the people throughout Europe. "The people and the countries were great," Steeber said. "The people really loved us. "I really liked Spain-the beaches were great. I also liked Budapest, Hungary a lot. We visited the American embassy and were treated great. It was really different Communist country. There were Russian sol around and it was really interesting. "Palermo, Italy was beautiful. It was sticks out the most." Steeber was ohe of the youngest of the ei on the Generals' squad. Most of the players twenties or early thirties and came from Di · basketball programs. The Globetrotters con · players, including two women, Sandra Hodge Walker. "All the people I played with were good good people," Steeber said. "They were fun guys good time playing with them. "Playing with two women was really · are really talented. "The Globetrotters were nice and really used to watch them on teievision, but the fi!SI them in person was when I played against them game of the tour." For Steeber, the tour, for the most memorable one. But at times, the extensive constant play began to wear him down. The seven days a week and often had double weekend. They also traveled six to eight buses. "It was really hectic, but it was worth i~' "I would definitely do it again. I might be · summer, but I don't know yet. If everything could be going on a tour to the Far East and J not really sure yet. I would love to go again.' So if Jeff Steeber is spotted on campa "Sweet Georgia Brown," don't think he's crazy. He probably hasn't come down fromcl<m once-in-a-lifetime summer vacation. Grapplers go 1 for 3 over weekend Despite good effort, Colonels lose to Arm by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE The Wilkes grapplers wrestled well at West Point last Sunday. Very well. Yet Army overcame a 16-6 Colonels lead and pulled out a 2116 decision by winning the last four matches of the meet. On Saturday, the Colonels split a dual meet, defeating Rutgers, 23-10 and losing to William & Mary, 20-19. But it was the Colonels' efforts against the powerful Cadets that pleased head coach John Reese. "We gave a good effort against Army," Reese said. "They are a very powerful squad. Our boys gave it their all." Wilkes senior Brian Bauer opened the meet with a 12-2 major decision over Army's Jeff Anderson at 118. "That match was Brian's best of the year," Reese said. "He's been very consistent all ~n." Kurt Tamai drew 13-13 at 126 and Dave Bonomo won 7-5 at 134 to stake the Colonels out to a 9-2 lead. Anthony Diaz dropped a 133 major decision at 142, low- ering Wilkes' lead to 9-6. Merrel Neal rebounded from a four point deficit to win 6-5 at 158, and Mike Schroat upped his record to 15-1-3 with an 11-2 major decision at 158. Then, the losses cascaded- in spades. Chris Shaud was pinned at 167; Charlie Keyes dropped a 7-3 decision at 177; Ray Mendoza was shaded 7-6 at 190; and Steve Schannauer, with the Colonels trailing 18-16, fell short at heavyweight, 4-2. "Steve had to take him down and let him up because we were behind," Reese said. "He caught Stevie once and that was the match." Dave Bonomo injured a knee and may miss a few weeks of action. If he is unable to wrestle, he will be replaced by either Paul Stuart or Mike Froelich. The loss record to 10-6. dropped Wilkes' The Colonels were a victim of sloppy timekeeping in their loss to William & Mary. Trailing 20-16, the Colonels again sent Schannauer to the mat with the mission to save the meet. This time, Schannauer needed at least a major decision to tie the match. He won, 11-4, which was good enough for a decision only. Reese feels he should have gotten more. "They had a problem with their timekeeping for riding time the whole match," Reese said. "Steve was shortchanged. He should have had a point for it. That would have tied the meet." Bauer (13-2 at 118), Bonomo (5-0 at 134), Schroat (171 at 158), Mendoza (16-7 at 190) and Schannauer won their matches. Losing for the Colonels were Tamai (21-3 at 126), Diaz (4-0 at 142), Neal (11-0 at 150), Shaud (13-5 at 167) and Keyes (26-11 at 177). . Reese used an altered lineup in the first match of the day against the less powerful Scarlet Knights. Tamai (4-0 at 126), Diaz (31 at 142), Schroat (12-3 at 158), Shaud (5-1 at 167), Keyes (4-1 at 177), Mendoza (11-3 at 190) and Schannauer (9-2 at heavyweight) were victorious. Freshmen J.P. Epifanio (6-2 at 118), Stuart (14-4 at 134) and Jason Eike (8-2 at 150) went down to defeat.

Schannauer has enjoyed a fine season. He owns a 14-5-1 log, which includes a fourth-place finish in the Wilkes Open and a dramatic, meet-cliriching victory over nationally-ranked Syracuse's Rob Cole. "Steve is really enthusiastic," Reese said. "He is very outgoing. He works hard and never stops during a match. He's extremely competitive." Reese is still impressed with Schannauer's clutch win in the Syracuse meet. "That's the highlight of his season," Reese said. "Syracuse was nationally-ranked and considered the best team in the East.

"He's one of the better scorers in the league and he's not the easiest player to defend. He's got an excellent cut off the dribble. He's also an outstanding foul shooter." Nolan has always been a natural scorer. His high school career at South Williamsport Area yielded 2106 points, and he's on pace to smash Len Batroney's (1950-54) school-record mark of 1629. Most of the buckets are a result of the pure jump shot, a natural ability that few are born with. The gift, however, runs in the Nolan bloodlines. · "Mydadwasagreatplayer," Nolan said, "andmyolder brother Carl was outstanding. He was recruited by Kentucky, but he ended up at Rider, then transferred to Penn State (where he didn't play basketball). "I've always had the ability to shoot and be a good one-on-one player." . Nolan's game, although outstanding, is not without faults. Like many players, he is sporadically allergic to the d-word: defense. "That (spotty defense) is the one thing that's keeping him from being a complete player," Rainey said. "He has a tendency to lose concentration at the defensive end, something that happens to many players. to concentrate on the defensive end, that should tell you something. How was Wilkes able to land Nolan and his magic touch? A little bit of luck and a heap of dedication. "I must have put 10,000 miles on my car recruiting him," Martin said. "But it was worth it" "I was all set to go to Colgate," Nolan said. "But they had coaching problems, and Coach Martin's persistence paid off. Wilkes is well-knowm in Williamsport." Nolan's backcourt mate, senior Marc Graves, is also from Williamsport. He is also a 1000-point scorer at Wilkes. And, like Nolan, he's a force. "Marc is a great player," Nolan said. "It's funny, because we were adversaries in high school (Graves attended South Williamsport Area High). His passes are unbelievable." The Colonels currently sit at 6-14 (5-7 in the MAC) and need something just short of a solar eclipse to make the postseason. Yet, most of the games have been close with many being decided in the final minutes. In other words, the Colonels could easily be 14-6. They seem to be just a shade under par during crunch time . Why? "It's frustrating," Nolan said. "For example, when Drew beat us (the Colonels blew a huge second-half lead in a n 82-78 loss on Monday at the Marts Center), we just relaxed when we got ahead." Now, the Colonels are fighting for their playoff lives. Ah, the burning question ...did Nolan ever imagine that he could score more points than any player to ever wear a Wilkes uniform? "No, you really don't think about something like that," he said. "I didn't even know what the scoring record was. Then they kept telling me after my freshman season that I would have a chance to break it. "I have high expectations for our team next season. We can go a long way." And at some point during that campaign, the ball will long to be in Nolan's hands. A teammate will oblige. Dribble, head fake, step, jump. Swish! Jim Nolan will be on top.

He may have also shoved the Colonels' playoff hopes down the hoop. This loss, coupled with previous defeats at the hands of Drew (82-78 on Monday at the Marts Center), Lycoming (97-92 last Saturday in Williamsport) -and Susquehanna (86-82 . last Thursday at home) has left the Colonels (6-14, 5-7 in the MAC) in tough shape. In stronger words, they need a miracle. Or at least for King's to lose it's remaining three MAC games while the Colonels win their three. It's possible, but not probable. The Colonels jumped out to a 23-18 lead on the Royals, but then surrendered a 20-4 run that gave Scranton a 38-27 lead. Colonels center Tom Doughty sat out most of the first half with foul trouble, and Scranton big men Fives and Tom Downey scored inside at will. Wilkes' Jim Nolan, however, hit two three-pointers to cut Scranton's bulge to 40-37 at halftime. The Royals produced a · 12-4 run to begin the second half which gave them a 52-41 lead.

He became deeply involved in the development of Bucknell University where he was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1932." "Three years later, in the depths of a depression, his fellow board members called upon Arnaud Marts to be president of Bucknell.

Capin, will return after a five-year hiatus as an accounting teacher. A group of fopner students and friends have established a fund in his honor, the Capin Chair of Accounting, in the college's School of Business and Economics. Their goal is to raise $500,000 to recognize Capin's fine qualities as an educator and mentor. Capin graduated froll) Wilkes in 1950 · with a bachelor of science in economics, and re- ceived a master's degree in business administration from Lehigh University and his CPA from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Capin taught part-time at Wilkes before becoming a fulltime faculty member in 1972, and went on to become Dean of Academic Affiars. He was selected in 1975 as the third president of Wilkes, a position he held until 1984, when he accepted a partnership at Parente, Randolph, Orlando, Carey and Associates, a WilkesBarre accounting firm.

You know what I mean, you're driving down the road at 35 miles per hour and out of the blue a driver who tan barely see over the dashboard pulls out doing 75 without even looking to ' see what moving objects he or she might hit. Talk about courtesy. Another common driving technique used by Cracker Jack driving graduates is tailgating. They're the drivers of the car that looks like it's two inches from your back bumper. Did you ever get the urge to slam on your brakes causing their front end to ram your car. I have, and if it weren't for the fact that my insurance rates would rise and my car would be damaged, I'd do it all the time. And still another segment of the driving population are the socalled "Let's take a Sunday drive during the week" drivers. They're the ones that go 30 miles below the speed limit and . almost always stop at every intersection whether there is a stop sign there or not. OPINION by Tom Obrzut Part of the problem, 1 think, is that the state of Pennsylvania doesn't require drivers to be reevaluated once they receive their license, whether they obtain it through normal means or the Cracker Jack crash course. This means that someone who received his or her license anytime during the 1900s never, ever has tQ be re-tested. I think this should be changed . . Granted, all reckless drivers aren't senior citizens, many are. It's been proven that a person's reaction time slows down as one ages. A slight difference in reaction time can be the difference between life and death. A simple re-evaluation once a person reaches 65 years of age and at set intervals after 65 might help alleviate some of the problem, but, I'm afraid, Cracker A.BURNING :: . _ 'ti ~ _ ,/ "/~ TALE.- t.,;n_ \ \ w\ . i,~ -..:i, ,.

Our members spend a great deal of time on campus. Most are involved in other major campus organizations and activities such as Commuter Council, Inter Residence Hall Council, The Beacon, the Student Health Advisory Committee and the football team. A few of our members are Resident Assistants. We are also required to serve as student representatives on various faculty committees such as the Academic Standards Committee, the Library Committee, the Athletic Committee and the Long Range Planning Committee. From this it is obvious that student government members are certainly aware of our campus environment. Participation in other activities also allows for accessibility to much of the student population. Therefore, it is not really valid to say that we're only available at Wedenesday night meetings.

Charlie can be found around campus and at many campus events. He was introduced to the student body at the Commencement/ Convocation ceremony in September. Charlie has been doing a terrific job as leader of our organization and he's quite personable. Just as you encountered at LCCC, Mr. Obrzut, it's highly probable that Charlie is known by more than 80 percent of the students at Wilkes. Perhaps you're just part of the 20 percent that hasn't had the opportunity to meet him. I hope some of your questions have been answered Mr. Obrzut._I'm sorry you feel you deserve better. We are by no means perfect, but we certainly are making an effort. Sincerely, Maribeth Montaldi Student Government Senior Class Representative Recording Secretary A school for the students, or not? Recently, the College contracted Enrollment Management Consultants (EMC) to "conduct a comprehensive assessment of the admissions image of Wilkes College." This was done to gauge potential students' impressions of Wilkes. The study showed, as impossible as it may seem, that the school has no image. Not a negative image - as the average student might think; not a glowing image as the administration would like to think. To this point, the school has reacted by putting together sample groups of students to measure reaction to the study. The students discovered that many of the problems revolve around dormatory life. Incoming students are taken aback by the lack of housing and the condition of some of the existing housing. Another problem is the "lack of social activities" on campus. Loosely translated, that is a knock on the alcohol policy. I am a commuter student and I find myself on Campus more than at home because of all of the different things going on. There are in fact many events on Campus, most of which are organized by the Programming Board. Anyone who spends her or his weekends here knows that the Board ALWAYS has something going on. If not the Board, there are sporting events, concerts, lectures, or plays at the CPA, the occasional "all-college weekends" put on by Student Government, dances ... , get the point? The one thing that stuck out as a positive for the school is its small size and, accompanying low student/teacher ratio. Many future students like the fact that they will get to know and work closely with their professors. The study was a good idea and well done. I certainly hope that the school actually follows through with the suggestions of the committees, not whitewashing the bad to make the good look better. We are on the brink of some very good things happening to the school. Let's not blow this one. If the study says improve housing, do it. Don't decide just to show potential students the nice room in the nice dorm. If the study says add parking spots, do it. Don't force the students on the Commuter Council into a corner by forcing them to give out more permits than spaces. This school is for the students who choose to come here. It's about time that they get what they need; and the $7000-plus (more for dorm students) yearly pricetag gives them the right to expect it. Network.

Directed by Dr. Mani LoMonaco, The Gales of March is the story of the Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Included are their family members, the Reverend Bronte, their father; their brother, Branwell; and Arthur Bell Nichols, Charlotte's suitor. For those of you who the Brontes were, they wrote such novels as Wuthering Heights (Emily), and Jane Eyre (Charlotte). The Gales of March, by Lee Bollinger, offers insight into their unique writing style and editing methods. Portraying the three sisters are Maureen O'Hara, Jennifer Hussey, and Bridget O'Brien. The remaining characters are portrayed by Rob Johansen, Paul Winarski, and David Zimmerman. All are Wilkes students. Karl Ruling, the technical director, has designed an interesting and unique set. Costumes have been designed by Mara. Christopher Brush _is the acting stage manager. On Thursday afternoon, Feb. 23, there will be a lecture given by Ms. Bollinger at 4 p.m. At 8 p.m. on that same evening, there will be the preview ·performance of The Gales of March. This pre• view is open to the public free of cost. The official performances will be given on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Following the Friday night performance, the Wilkes theatre department will sponsor a question and answer session with Bollinger, after which there will be a reception in the lobby of the C.P.A.

The lecture is entitled Why I Write and according Ms. Bollinger, it "centers not only on the reasons one writes but also the reasons a particular field of writing is chosen." Ms. Bollinger claims her writing "to be innate" and stresses that "playwriting chose her and not vice versa." The event is a preview to The Gales of March, a play written by Bollinger which is scheduled to open Friday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m in the Darte Center. Bollinger has been writing plays since 1980 and has concentrated her work solely in the biographical field, hence she says, "each play I write requires a great deal of research." Research for The Gales of March began in the winter of 1984. She made two trips to Hayworth, England to do her primary research in 1986 and 1987. The title· for the play was thought of, she says, "at a point one day m March 1987 while standing in Charlotte Bronte's room overlooking the small church graveyard and listening to the wind rush in through the windows."

He was a mix of French, Dutch, and African heritage. He studied at Fisk University, then later went on to Havard, receiving his M.A. in 1891 and his Ph.D. in 1895. He, along with .other educated blacks, demanded equality immediately rather than in some undisclosed future. DuBois joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1910. Soon DuBois became the black movement's most influential spokesman. His editor's desk at the Crisis (an NAACP periodical) became a podium for his changing ideas. He worked with biracial groups for racial justice and during the depression created a self-sufficient negro community. This program led to DuBois' abrupt departure from the NAACP in 1934. After WWII, DuBois went back to Atlanta University (where he taught) and to ' the NAACP. He joined the worldwide peace movement and advocated the spread of socialism. This alienated him from the United States. He won a Lenin Peace Prize in 1959. In 1961, he emigrated to Ghana. He died in Accra, as a Ghanaian citizen on August 27, 1963.

Instead of going to the YMCA or joining a club, Wilkes has it. A pool and racquetball courts would make a full facility.

Rolling Stone magazine noticed and they have given us a comparison of the Reader's Pick and the Critic's Pick. An example of this is the Artist of the Year; the Critics chose Tracy Chapman, while the Readers chose U2. Diesel and Dust from Midnight Oil, was chosen as the best album by the critics. The readers chose Rattle and Hum by U2. The differences go on and on. The critics chose one artist or group and the readers chose another. The controversy reigned, and it seemed no one could agree on who was best and who was worst. Sometimes, even the readers managed to contradict themselves, by declaring the same group or artist for opposite awards. For example, the Best Heavy-Metal Band chosen by the readers was Guns-n-Roses, but one of the groups picked as the worst band was, you guessed it, Guns-n-Roses. Every 'once in awhile, however, the critics and the readers do manage to agree on something. Tracy Chapman was chosen by both for the honor of Best Female Singer. Some of the other more prominent choices included Best Male Singer: Bono (readers), and John Hiatt (critics); and Best Single: Desire by U2 (readers) and Fast Car by Tracy Chapman (critics). All people are different, so naturally they all have different opm10ns. But for some reason, critics never seem to agree. with the general population.

Reese commented on how the Colonels' late-season improvement has whetted his appetite for the future. "I'm really looking forward to the next three or four years. I think we're going to be a pretty tough team and give everybody a lot of trouble." Reese would love to begin causing that trouble at Lehigh on the first weekend in March.

It's fun trying to stop them." Love for the game of basketball will never leave Graves, and he wants to pass his knowledge on to others. He has alread~ begun to do so, coaching a Police Athletic League team last summer m New York City, his hometown. . "We took it all," Graves said. "Our record was 25-2 and 1t gave me a thrill to see that I implemented some of my ideas into them. "I have especially good communication with my point guard. It's important for me to have a player like me at that position." A smile crinkled his face after that statement. He must be a good one.Marc. . Graves ended up in Williamsport because his mother Lillian thought it would be best for him to escape the city. He lived with Jack and Barb Baucke, whom he has grown to love dearly. "Some people don't have one set of parents. I'm lucky," Graves said. "I've got two." . . The one image that observers will remember about Graves 1s him diving into the stands to snag a loose ball, a frequent occasion. His drive and detennination will be forever etched in many memories. "His tenacity was constant," Rainey said. "He's a great competitor." . . . . I watched Graves for just one season, but one mc1dent mvolvmg his play will always stick in my mind.

The basketball court was Graves' ho All of us are great athletes in our minds. Most are aware of what to do in different sporting situations. We know where the football should be thrown, whether or not a pitch should be taken, how to shoot a foul shot . The problem arises when our bodies have to act on our thoughts. Marc Graves has no such difficulty. His body and mind are one on the basketball court, a synchronized pipeline of grace and quickness. Simply put, the guy's got great neurons. There have been many fine basketball players at Wilkes, but what will separate Graves in the memories of those who were lucky enough to witness his floor magic will be his explosiveness, his ability to take control of the contest at any moment. Whenever he pawed the ball, all eyes in the house were riveted on him without hesitation. Graves was as much a theatrical event as a basketball player. His act is over now, and four seasons have produced 1,277 points, the eighth highest total in school history. But points don't tell even a fraction of the story when describing Graves' career. He was a dribbler, a passer, a defender, a rebounder. He did it all. Yet the most evident aspect of his playing personality was the competitor. He radiated desire, and when the Colonels lost as they did often in the last two seasons, it showed on his countenance. And hurt in his soul. "Losing is an experience I'm not used to," Graves said. "It was tough because when I was a freshman, we were ranked 16th in the country. It's tough to adjust to" Despite the losing, Graves still knew how to have fun ... he had to. "When a team is losing, the guys have to become close, become a family," he said. That displayed leadership is one of many traits that will be sorely missed by head coach Ron Rainey. "He was a leader by example," Rainey said. "His work ethic, especially in practice, was tremendous. "He was such a good assist man and his push on the break was unbelievable. He was just a great all-around player." Graves' foes express similar sentiments. "His size was never a factor on the court," said Scranton head coach Bob Bessoir. "He's what I call an 'underground intimidator.' You always had to look down on the floor to see where he was." Possessing a ballhandling skill that allowed him impose his will on the defender, Graves dictated the pace of a fast break, choreographed it at high speed. He had total control and the feeling thrilled him. "I pretty much knew that not many guys could stay with me," he said. "That opened up things for my teammates. When they came out and doubled me, that left at least one guy open." Rainey echoed Graves' assessment. "People don't realize that in order to score 1000 points, as Jim Nolan did, you have to get the ball in your hands," he said. "Mark did an outstanding job getting the ball to the rest of the guys." Graves readily admits that the desire to use his ability to the fullest sometimes backfired. "At times, I tried to go too fast," he said. "In a lot of situations, I should have pulled it out and got everybody under control.'' But driving to the basket was a natural "The Gravy Train," from his childhood illustrious careers at Williamsport High School But the three-point rule that came along in I scoring locomotive to an outside track. "I love the three-pointer," Graves said. the guards. In the beginning, everybody was the defenses essentially came out to the peri a tougher shot.'' Defense is something Graves took to many a defender. If he wasn't picking a poc he was being a pest. "It's a great challenge to play defense," he to go against the other team's best ballplayer See L -C prograrr s.

This year's men's basketball team lacked just one ingredient that would have turned an alsoran into a title contender: the "pure center." The Colonels (7-16, 5-9 in the . MAC) did have junior Tom Doughty for rebounding, and he did a fine job down the stretch. However, what they needed was an Akeem Olajuwon or a Patrick Ewing type, a bruiser in the true sense of the word. This missing piece of the puzzle was glaring following the Colonels' final two contests, losses on the road to Juniata (90-86 last Saturday) and Misericordia (108-95 on February 15), who Photo by Bruce Alexis out-rebounded them 45-30 and 45Dave Argentati (14) scored 14 points in a win over Delaware Valley. 28, respectively.

Juniata then went on a roll of their own and pulled ·ahead by two. The game see-sawed until late in the second half when the Indians pulled ahead by seven, 87-80. The Colonels' 80th point was scored on the final basket in the illustrious career of Marc Graves. As usual, it was layup on the heels of a steal. His final shot, with 4 ticks left on the clock, was one of his trademarks; he began to drive the lane, pulled up at the top of the key and pumped the 3-point "J." This time he fell short and so did the Colonels. Wilkes was led by Graves with 20 points, Nolan with 17, and Ott, Neira, and Doughty, each with 12. Doughty pulled down 9 rebounds while Graves and Neira each grabbed 5.

The winning ways continued at 158 as Mike Schroat creamed Bill Kissner, 18-0 in 4:21. Senior Chris Shaud, also appearing in his last career home match, followed with his eighth career victory, a hard fought 6-5 decision over James Becker at 167. Charlie Keyes recorded a fall in his 177-pound match against June Grasty, Ray Mendoza picked up a forfeit win at 190 and Steve Schannauer won 4-2 at heavyweight Last Saturday at the Marts Center, Tamai (126), Froehlich (134), Keyes (177) and Mendoza (190) were the beneficiaries of four Hofstra forfeits as the Colonels picked up 24 gift points. They weren't needed, however, as the Colonels blitzed through the lineup offered by Coach Tony Arena's Flymg Dutchmen, suffering .only one defeat. Freshman J.P. Epifania subbed for the sore-r(bbed Bauer and gained an easy 11-2 major decision over Hofstra's David Muglio. The Colonels' lone loss came at 142, as Diaz was dropped by Sal Adamo, 11-4. Reese is concerned with Diaz' recent woes. "Tony is struggling," Reese said. "We're trying to get his confidence back, but he just doesn't believe in himself." At 150, Neal crushed Matthew Solarish, winning by technical fall, 17-1 at the buzzer. Neal controlled all aspects of the match, consistently throwing the weaker Solarish to the mat "Merrel's wrestled much better than we expected," Reese said. "He's probably the guy that's been the biggest surprise to us. "He has great leverage and he's very long, which enables Photo by Jim Clark Wilkes' Chris Shaud (right) takes control in a win against Hofstra. him to ride very well. He doesn't wrestle well on his feet, but he counters well. "I think he, more than anybody on the team, has blossomed." Neal attributes his 14 wins to plenty of hard work last summer.

"I like to get on top and get the wrists and tilt him (his opponent) up." Schroat avoided mistakes and posted a 6-3 decision over Butch Padamonsky at 158; Shaud dictated the tempo throughout a 13-4 major decision over Dave McNamara at 167 and Schannauer's quickness overwhelmed 261-pound Derrick Magwood in an 11-1 major decision at heavyweight as the See Colonels page 9 son's play, not age, matters most enter a college athletic program and hope acontribution when called upon.

"By the time she's a senior, she could be an all MAC player." Kennedy isn't the only teammate quick to praise Carson. "I think she is one of the best point guards in the conference," says fellow freshman Lorrie Ann Petrulsky. "Everyone has confidence in her when she has the ball." Carson believed this year's edition of the Lady Colonels would be successful, but to what degree was the big question. "I knew we had a lot of talent, but I also knew that we were really young," she said. "I wasn't sure if we would make the playoffs because of our inexperience. "I've enjoyed the season but it's been a lot of hard work. I think the reason for our success has been that everyone is very dedicated and that the team played really well together as a unit."

Trailing 49-47, Kovaleski re- ' ceived a pass in the center of the lane and began to square her shoulders toward the hoop and dribble simultaneously. The intended shot never materialized, however, as three Scranton defenders converged and slapped the ball away from Kovaleski and into the hands of Lady Royals guard Patti Brophy.

Adopted core moves Wilkes into the 1990s by Michele Corbett Beacon News Editor Dr. George Waldner The first of two phases in the revision of Wilkes' core curriculum began with the proposal put forth in October by the Core Review Committee headed by math professor Dr. Bing Wong. English professor, Dr. Lee Terry, is chairperson of the committee and presented the proposal to the-faculty, which adopted it early in November. Ms. Susan Telban, associate professor of nursing, also contributed to the composition of this new core proposal. Dr. Waldner, vice president of Academic Affairs, informed the Beacon that the only students who should consider enrolling in the new core are those that would already meet the new curriculum and/or have six or more semesters remaining prior to graduation.

Do you think these are their es? What do their mothers think? t of you are probably saying, "Bob, why are you get.ting- all worked up over this? It's just a harmless form of entertainment through which people unleash their pent-up aggression." Well, for one thing, I couldn't come up with a real good idea for a topic this week, and secondly, I'm concerned about this goofy country of ours. A recent news report revealed that American students had placed last in math tests given to youngsters all over the world. Actually, I wasn't completely surprised by all of this. As a former newspaper editor I was consistently printing stories about the alleged disarray our public school systems are in. Is there a correlation between the renaissance of pro wrestling and the decline in test scores. Naw. I don't think so. At least not directly. ' It's really not that simple. But it does bug me to see kids choosing Wrestling Magazine over "The Grapes of Wrath" as their favorite leisure reading material. Am I proposing a ban on pro wrestling? Lord have mercy, no!! That goes against every libertarian bone in my body. Besides, what would these wrestler guys do if they couldn't fling each other around the ring each Saturday morning. We can't have these guys walking around unemployed. I mean, they may not be athletes, they may not be a bastion of talent and they may have all the charm of a lanced boil, but the one thing they are is BIG. I, for one, respect big. Big is good. And these guys are big AND oily. That's one combination you never want to mess with. Mardi Gras. It conjures up visions of constant partying, dancing, singing, and all-around "drunken madness." Now think of Mardi Gras in terms of Winter Weekend; the Student Government equivalent to this "mega-party." This past weekend Wilkes College celebrated yet another Winter Weekend. And, as par for the course, everyone had a great time, but the school's alcohol policy was not only broken, it was mangled beyond recognition. In the past, I had never been a participant in this annual event, so I was only able to pass judgement by way of rumor. I had heard the stories about students sitting on their cars outside of Ralston field and drinking, but I had never seen it. This year I decided to get on a team and take part in the fun I had heard so much aoout. I can finally say I have the necessary experience to comment on the dismantling of the Wilkes College Alcohol Policy, established in 1986, that goes on at Winter Weekend. I saw it first hand. I saw the students making a mockery of the school by sitting in and on their cars, drinks in hand. I saw the empty beer bottles and cans that littered the front sidewalk of the Marts Center. What can only be called the crown jewel of the entire affair was the Saturday night dance. How a large part of the students who arrived drunk got into the dance is beyond me. Most of them were so visibly fall-down silly drunk, it's a wonder they found the place. During this dance, there was a judging of costumes for all of the Winter Weekend participants. There was a slight waiting period in between the judging and the announcement. I was standing next to a friend hoping to hear the results of the costume contest. We found ourselves standing near a very rowdy and, obviously, very drunk group of students. When the winners were announced, these students were not among them and began to demonstrate their anger at being excluded. Their demonstration became violent and my friend was hit a number of times. The Wilkes College Alcohol Policy states as its goals, "[to] include protection of the health and safety of students, the preservation of an environment conducive to scholarship as well as positive social interaction, the protection of personal and College property, and the prevention of abusive behaviors related to alcoholic consumption." Where was that "prevention of abusive behaviors related to alcoholic consumption" part of the policy at the dance? I am not a moralist. I don't advocate a second coming of the 18th Ammendment. I would just like to see alcohol policy violators punished, not pardoned. Maybe I should mind my own business. Maybe I am just naYve in thinking that the world will ever see alcohol as the dangerous drug it is. I certainly hope not; the world has been blind to it too long.

'9 ..... . �March 2, 1989 PAGEFOUR Campus smokers find lighting up diffi by Michael O'Keefe College Press Service It's getting harder to be a cigarette smoker on American campuses. In recent weeks, a number of schools have announced even tougher smoking restrictions. From Big Bend Community College to Washington State to the East Coast, campuses that began limiting student smoking as long as a decade ago have taken the last big step this school year. "Smoking is pretty much banned now at Big Bend," said spokesman Doug Sly of new rules implemented on Jan. 1. In 1976, Penn State University was one of the first U.S. campuses to ban smoking from its laboratories and classrooms. On April 1 of this year, it will forbid smoking everywhere except in certain dorm rooms. "It's too strict of a rule. I have a smoking habit and I don't feel like standing out in the rain or snow (to smoke)," said Penn State senior Mary Helen Moran. Some schools went as far as banning smoking at outdoor events such as Stanford University did in 1988. "Some colleges have been setting the pace," said Dr. John Longest, the former Mississippi State University student health center director and American College Health Association (ACHA) official who has led efforts to combat smoking on campuses for several decades. The drumbeat of new restrictions has been constant Colorado's Metropolitan State College's bookstore stopped selling cigarettes in November, while Georgia State University banned such sales in 1986. Scores of other schools, including the unversities of Texas, Illinois, Nebraska and North Dakota, and Tulane, Mankato State, and Southwest Missouri State have also restricted campus smoking. School officials cite health concerns as the major reason. "We have practical, even moral reasons to restrict smoking," explained William Hetrick, director of Penn State's human resourses department "Colleges need to recognize young people are at a volatile point in their development of habits," said John M. Pinney, executive director of Harvard's Institute for the Study of Smoking Behavior and Policy. "Colleges can influence their young people by letting them know smoking is not acceptable." "Colleges are employers, and as employers they have a responsibility to their employees and students ~o ensure a healthy workplace," Pinney added, citing the 1986 Surgeon General's report that said second-hand smoke can lead to cancers and heart disease for nonsmokers, too. Some feel colleges aren't educating students enough, however. "We must continue to do better in helping present smokers give up the habit and do much better in encouraging young people not to start," Longest wrote in the ACHA's policy paper on smoking, which calls for tight limits on campus tobacco use and substantially increased educational efforts. Better-educated people, the U.S. Public Health Service found in a report released in late 1988, respond better to anti-smoking efforts than less-educated citizens: the proportion of college graduates who smoked decreased from 28 percent in 1974 to 18 percent in 1985. For people without a college degree, the decrease - from 36 percent in 1974 to 34 percent in 1985 - was much more modest But even among the new campus bans, there are signs college students may be smoking more again. Some 10.1 percent of this year's freshmen, up from 8.9 percent of last year's first-year collegians, smoke cigarettes, the annual American Council on Education - University of California at Los Angeles survey of 300,000 students found Core Continued from page 1 Those students who have less than six semesters remaining should understand "because of the lead tivie anticipated to develop all of the courses needed for the new core program, they should plan on completing the old core." · The first part of the proposal outlines the changes in the curriculum covering "basic skills" involving writing and speaking requirements, mathematics proficiency, computer literacy, and foreign languages; "Core studies," a one-credit class required of all freshmen; "Distribution requirements;" and "physical development." The second portion provides a credit summary and the third, changes in the required High School preparation for admission. All students who elect to follow the new core will be required to pass a foreign language proficiency test in Spanish , French or German, to be given March 29 at 4 p.m. in Stark 101. Those students must regis- ter for the placement testing by March, 17 in The Dept. of Arts and Literature, 2nd floor of Kirby Hall. Tests in other languages are also available upon request. Students must see their advisors to see if they quality for the new core. Further questions pertaining to the language testing may be directed to Dr. Barbra Jes- some-Nance or Dr. Walter Karpinich, Language and Literature Dept.

O'Hara was in an especially difficult position of being on stage for nearly the entire performance, yet she managed like the professional she is, drawing the audience to her, and made them feel her pain. As Branwell Bronte, their brother, Paul Winarski aggravated the tightly strung nerves of Charlotte with his drunken, opium-induced stupors. David Zimmerman, portraying Arthur Bell Nichols, offered concern, companionship, and untarnished love to Charlotte. Breaking the fourth wall, the audience could not help being moved by the apparent torment Nichols suffered, being denied the right to marry the woman he loved mere- ly because her father refused to give his blessings. The girls' father, the Reverend Bronte, was capably portrayed by Robert Johansen. In a difficult role for any young actor, Johansen managed to transform himself into an elderly gentleman of about seventy years, without resorting to the overdone, stereotypical images. Adding to the effect of the production was the set which seemed to encapsulate the entire feeling of the play with its floating pictures and wispy gauze. Designed, by Karl Ruling, as · more representative than realistic, the room in which the Bronte sisters did their writing gave the play a ghost-like quality that added to the overall serenity of the piece. One unique feature that created this disjointed feeling was the manner in which the pictures were hung. As ·there were no formal walls built, there was nothing to hang the pictures on, yet there they were, floating in mid-air. While the script itself tended to get a bit heavy at times, it did not overburden the audience beyond the basic necessity of getting certain facts in. Success in theatre cannot be judged on how the audience reacts while in the theatre, but rather what they think after they've left it. In the case of The Gales of March, the audience felt a sort of sorrowful happiness; sorrow, because they watched these characters die before their eyes, yet happy because they came to the show. In my own case, I was aware, when I walked into the theatre, that Charlotte and her siblings would die, but I still found myself hoping that history would be changed and Charlotte would be able to live happily ever after with her husband, Arthur. The Gales of March was certainly_ a worthy and successful endeavor, one that was more than just a pleasant night at the theatre, but an actual learning experience. More than one person left the CPA with the intention of reading books like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, or Agnes Grey. The winds were cold this weekend, but The Gales of March blew in with success and well-deserved applause.

Her smile on the court has become her unmistakable trademark. But Kennedy, who came to Wilkes four years ago, has not always been unmistakable. That is because she entered Wilkes four years ago with her twin sister Maureen. "People were always getting us confused," Kennedy said. "We played well together. Maureen was a real good offensive player and I played good defense. It was a real good experience to play with her. It was fun seeing everyone getting us mixed up." What was fun for the Kennedys was a nightmare for opposing coaches. "Together they combined for a real strong inside game," said head coach Jodi Kest. "They both scored and rebounded. They looked a lot alike and played a fot alike. They were tough to beat." And of course, they both smiled. "When I came here as coach in Melissa's sophomore year, they were always smiling. They laughed and smiled after they made a turnover or a mistake. I couldn't understand it," Kest said. "I smile all the time to keep from getting mad," said Kennedy. "I like to have fun out there, so when something goes wrong, I smile to keep from getting angry." After their sophomore seasons, the smiling duo split up. Maureen left Wilkes and transferred to Lock Haven, leaving Melissa to fend for herself. "It was a big change," Kennedy said. "We were best friends. I had to get used to playing without her inside. Also, when something would go wrong, I would always have her to tum to. It was a big adjustment." In her junior season, Kennedy begarfto thrive and really come into her own. She scored a career-high 22 points in the St. John Fischer tournament in Rochester, New York and led the Lady Colonels to a second place finish. She was named to the all-tournament team of the Wilkes College Letterwomen's Tournament and was named the Lady Colonels' defensive player of the year. "It was a rough year for the team," Kennedy said. "We sliffered through a lot of inexperience despite having a lot of talent. I think we suffered because of lack of leadership and lack of team unity. Individually, I think I did better being on my own." · But Kennedy set out determined to have a fine record in her senior season and to avoid a repeat of her junior campaign. Her leadership and work ethic season were evidence of her detennination to have season. "I started out really well this season. I realfy have a winning year," Kennedy commented. 1 . through a couple of slumps but it was a pretty g "The highlight of the year was probab~ Elizabethtown. Even though we lost, we were two points at halftime. We out-hustled and outp and they were undefeated in the MAC. Also, playoffs was a big accomplishment." "I think I learned a lot both on and off throughout my career. I learned how to take cri · grew up and matured a lot" "Melissa did a great job in her four especially this year," Kest said. "She was a model and her senior leadership was very im "When Melissa first came here she lacked she has grown into a real nice young lady and a I am sure she will be capable of handling all !he of the outside world." After graduation, Kennedy would like to school, preferably at Mansfield University. She like to stay involved in basketball. Who had the most dunks at the Marts Center this past season? Tom Doughty? Nicole Kovaleski? Coach Dave Martin? Sorry, those were fine guesses, but the true Wilkes sports fan knows the answer is Bob Wachowski, a.k.a. The Colonel. Wachowski, a senior, has been performing his antics for two years and has enjoyed every minute of it. "I have fun doing it," he said. "My being The Colonel represents the school at whatever event I'm at. I think that's important." Wachowski's stint as the The Colonel is not his first run at being a mascot. "I was The Friendly Patriot at Friendly High School in Fort Washington, Maryland, my hometown," he said. "I did that for four years and had a lot of fun." What circumstances led to his tenure as The Colonel? "In my third year, the spot opened up, so I went for it" Colonies' fans have been entertained ever since. What separated Wachowski from the mascots of other schools was his constant, game-long enthusiasm. Although it sustained his act, it sometimes served as a detriment "I sometimes got a weird feeling," Wachowski said. "I got fired up and into the games on a personal level. Sometimes people would ask me after a game if I heard them yelling to me. I had to say no. "I was so involved in the games that I really wasn't thinking of the fans all of the time, even wi t "I would like to stay in basketball and junior high lev~l," said Kennedy with a smile. It was the same smile that became her through four years of excellent basketball at w· Colonel Bob Wachowski is riding high by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor y st. ' and We ( though I was enthused. Sometimes that's not so good." Another Wachowski trademark was his unicycle dunk, a feat that extracted smiles from friend and foe alike. Not many ever learn to ride a unicycle, but it has become Wachowski's specialty. "Last season, I used the six foot cycle, but I had to jump off of it let it hit the ground," he said. "At Scranton, it got twisted and I couldn't use it anymore. "This Christmas, I bought myself the eight-and-a-half foot cycle." What was Wachowski's favorite sport to attend? "That's tough to say," he said. "I enjoyed all the sports, but I'd have to say I had the most fun with basketball. Both teams treated me nicely and with respect. "I do what I do because I enjoy it. I didn't expect thanks, but when it came, it was really nice." What was his most memorable moment? "There were so many," he said. "It was fun when I rode down to King's on the cycle for games and their students would yell at me from the dorm windows." Wachowski will be present at spring sporting events and there's a chance he may return to Wilkes in the fall to continue his schooling. No matter when he leaves, he will be sorely missed. "Bobby was a special kind of mascot," said athletic director John Reese. "He's what school spirit is all about There aren't many like him" th tjob ndeed "shed 16-8 hool The or tll hich is ity of< eseem 1 hast ·es bee lus," he rrent p rograrn) i: ts.

What was the secret of Kest's success? "We had a lot of new people come into the program," she said. "A lot of the freshmen contributed greatly to .the program. We got a , new assistant coach, Vince Trivelpiece, who added a lot of fresh ideas, and the upper classmen showed a lot of leadership, something we really lacked last year. It was probably the difference in about five games." One person who surely made a difference was Nicole Kovaleski, without a doubt the team's most valuable player. Kovaleski led the Lady Colonel's in scoring and rebounding, averaging 13 and nine respectively. She shot 57.2% from the floor and led the team by example. "Nicole was a great clutch player, and better yet, a great kid. I wish 1 could have twelve Nicole's," Kest gushed. "Any time we needed a bucket or a rebound, Nicole came through for us." Sophomore guard Angie Miller was down in scoring production from last year but battled through injuries to toss in 10.3 points a game. She led the MAC in free throw shooting percentage and was sixth in the nation. Senior forward Melissa Kennedy was a steady player and leader. She led the team in steals, was second in rebounding, and chipped in with 9.8 points a game. Her leadership and experience were a steadying influence on the team's younger members and a sure reason for their success. The Lady Colonels' trio of freshmen starters are a great reason for optimisim in the next three years. The names of Denise Carson, Lorrie Petrulsky and Deb Bredbenner will be mentioned simultaneously with Wilkes basketball for the next three years. Carson was the gas that made Kest's car go this season. She led the team in assists, scored nine points a game, and was a defensive specialist. Petrulsky was instant offense, a pure shooter who could fill it up in a hurry. Her baseline jumper is as good as gold. Bredbenner was a steady all-around player who gave a solid effort every time out. She did the little things that often go unseen in the box score. · Photo by Tom McGuire Melissa Kennedy and bead coach Jodi Kest of the Lady Colonels. Junior· Lisa Burak, sophomore Kelly Ruff, and freshmen Krista Zoka, Donna Zurawski and Louise Cicerchia all contributed at times and will be greatly needed if the squad is to repeat its fine showing next year. Freshmen Maryann Stephanick and Deb Erdner played in 9 and 7 games respectively before being lost for the season with injuries. Despite the playoff loss to Scranton, the season had its memorable moments... a win over a 20-6 Moravian team, a defeat of Division II Mansfield, wins over Susquehanna and Juniata on the road to clinch a playoff berth, and a good showing against perennial power Elizabethtown on the road are all accomplishments that will not be soon forgotten. "We knew we could compete with Scranton and Elizabethtown this year," Kest said. "Next year, we believe we can beat them. But it won't be easy. The teams will respect us more and look out for us." Respect. It's what Aretha Franklin asked for and Kest and her players have earned with this season's performance. sworth hits the recruiting trail running hard page 12 end up having about 250 visits, and that's too past, we tried to get the numbers, but this year, t200, which is our goal.

"There's less cheating going on than in the ,past," he said. "It's just a matter of getting rid of all the criminals. The boosters are the real outlaws. They are businessmen used to wining and dining clients, and they can't see anything wrong with doing the same to the player."

"I stress to my recruits and their parents that I can't get involved in financial aid because I'm a coach. Yet I still have parents who ask, 'You have some extra money you can give out, don't you'? " Unsworth said with a laugh. "I used to be able to have Wayne Lonstein, a former quarterback who's now a lawyer, write letters to recruits, telling them how well Wilkes prepared him for law school. Because of the rules, he can't even do that anymore." The stress of recruiting might claim the working sanity of some coaches, but not Unsworth, who knows how to balance the ups and downs. "If all I did was recruit, it would get tedious," he said. "But there's the break of the season. "There are a lot of long hours. I'm in my office until nine or ten o'clock four or five nights a week. You get bored talking to 18 year-olds, their parents, their little brothers. It's also hard to be charming for 200 campus visits." Even for you, Unsy? No way. "The worst thing is when a kid you are recruiting goes with a rival. You know you're going to have to face him for four years, and if you were recruiting him, he must be a good player." That's the competitor showing in Farmer Unsworth as he tries to harvest ripened players from the available crop. They will be ihe seeds of his future. �Wilkes College Women's Basketball The Locker Room (cont'd.) The Razor's Edge Colone1 Bob Wachowski Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Talented,: but inexperienced Hot Colonels headed.to Eastern by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE Like Olympians who train endlessly for just one shot, the Wilkes wrestlers will approach the EIW A Tournament (March 3-4 at Lehigh University in Bethlehem) with the full knowledge that their regular season record means little. Come tournament time, the hot hand holds the cards. And head coach John Reese's Colonels (14-6) are definitely hot, having won their last four meets and seven of the last nine. "We wrestled better at the end of the season than at anytime during the year," Reese said. "The boys matured and gained confidence. I think we're peaking in time for the tournament." Reese is quick to hit the caution button, however. "Only three of our ten guys, Brian Bauer, Mike Schroat and Steve Schannauer, have been there before," he said. "Merrel Neal wrestled a little bit at 177 last year, but he's not really experienced." Novelty is an unpredictable character, says Reese. "You don't know how a kid is going to react," he said. "He might go into a shell and get nervous, or he might feel he has nothing to lose and go out and win." Schannauer feels the Colonels' inexperience may influence the performance of some of the first-timers. "A toumanment is a lot different than a dual meet," he said. "If you lose, you have to come back and wrestle in an hour or so. You can't dwell on a loss, and with more experience, you learn not to do that. "Because of the limited amount of time between matches, you wrestle differently. In a dual meet, you might try to ride a guy out. In a tournament, you'll try to pin a guy to conserve energy." Each of the 16 EIW A teams will send one wrestler in each of the ten weight classes. The top eight in each class will be seeded, with the remaining eight placed at random. The top three finishers in each bracket plus one wi~d card picked from the whole field will advance to the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City (March 16-18). Three Colonels, according to Reese, have excellent chances to qualify. "Bauer, Schroat and Schannauer have all been wrestling well. They each have the potential to finish in the top three," he said. "After that, anyone who catches fire and has a good seed can do well. A few of our guys have the potential to finish in the top six." What are Reese's expectations for the team as a whole? ''I'd be pleased if we finished in the top four," he said. "Syracuse should win the tournament, and Navy and Lehigh should be up there. Our squad and Army may also challenge for the top. Merrel Neal (left) will wrestle at 150 pounds in the "The ironic thing is we beat Syracuse earlier this year, so anything is possible." Reese reiterated Schannauer's view concerning the immense differences between tournaments and dual meets. "Teams will shift guys around and try to score points in tournaments," he said. "Wilkes has always done well in dual aments. "We don't chip guys that go individual champi we do have are wrestle well as a · battle anyone." And the doing plenty weekend. Unsworth reaps from crop of recru · The months of winter aren't usually associated with regeneration. They are more often characterized by dormancy and the stinging realization that renewal will be preceded by a cold span of waiting. Winter is different, however, if one happens to be a football coach, as Bill Unsworth is. Unsworth is in the heart of the hit-and-miss process of recruiting, the one method of salvation which will prevent reoccurances of the 2-8 season past. One would think Wilkes football would be a hard sell after such a campaign. Not so, Unsworth says. "Actually, recruiting after a bad season ·is a little bit easier," he said. "Kids think they can step in and help right away." Factors other than football arc weighed more heavily when considering a college, says the coach. "At the Division III level, most kids know that after four years, their football career is over," he said. "We have to make sure that the academic program they want is available. "We also stress the Wilkes-Barre community and the campus itself. Then we talk football." Ah ... football. Can't forget about that. For a coach, recruiting is a lengthy chore. In Unsworth's case, the current subjects of his affection were known to him in the autumn of '87. "When kids are juniors, we get their names from their coaches and keep them on file," he said. "Then in May, we go to clinics and meet with coaches and get a few more names. · "We correspond with the coaches over the summer and get more forms with names. We usually get about 700 players on the list." Then, the sifting begins. "We eliminate players by looking at speed, according to the position they want ID look at academic ability. "From the middle of the season until break, we'll go to high schools and talk to players. For example, this past.season, we schools." After that-roadwork is completed, the in the drama. · "We try to get about 200 kids to visit those that are most appealing to us," Uns we're a Division III program, we can't say get a set number of wide receivers, a set mllD linemen. We look for good athletes, althou fill our needs. "The bottom line is financial aid. Every players who want to come here but can't financial situation." While Unsworth refuses to reveal n will say that this year's lot is pleasing.

The Convention Committee will be headed by Obrzut, while Morrell will serve as the Willces liason to the National Council. The National Council is made up of a President, Past-President, First and Second Vice Presidents and an Executive Director. All of these offices are filled by advisers.

The new Council was selected at the convention and includes student representation from Lock Haven University (PA), Mount Saint Mary's College (MD), Kansas State University and Wilkes.

I simply accept i.t. In a courthouse hallway after the sentencing, Yurgaitis and Piatt quietly shook hands. The 28-year old drunken driver is scheduled to begin serving his sentence today in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. "I'm very sorry about what happened, I realize Craig was a young man," Yurgaitis said. "This has ti had an impact on my life - some negative, some of it positive. I'd like to extend my apologies to you, Mr. Piatt." Yurgaitis faced a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine on one count each of vehicular homicide and drunken driving. He pleaded guilty to those charges in January after the District Attorney's Office agreed to drop another vehicular homicide charge that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of three years in prison. Cappellini sentenced Yurgaitis to 11 to 23 months in the county prison to be followed by three years probation. He was ordered to pay more than $4,400 for Piatt's funeral, expenses and fined an additional $500. At the time of the fatal crash, Yurgaitis was driving with an expired license. He was also arrested for drunken driving in 1984 and was placed on one-year probation with a $300 fine. �March 9, 1989 PAGETWO -~i■i■■-•r•.~-·•-w -.•,• .... -·-:.;-:-:-.-.·.·······-:-:❖:-:-:❖:-:-:❖:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:❖:-:-:-:,.-_._._ .·.·.·.·-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:;:::;:;:::::::::::::;:•:::::::::::;::::::::::::::::.:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Death penalty _ Casey makes smart move; Frey to fry Last Thursday, Gov. Robert P. Casey signed a warrant ordering a Lancaster County man to die in "Old Sparky," thestate'selectric chair, for arranging the contract killing of his estranged wife. William Frey, 52, is scheduled to be executed on June 13 at 10 p.m. after being convicted in 1980 of ordering thecontractkillingofBarbara Jean, 40, his estranged wife. She was killed on her way to work in Nov. 1979. Prosecutors said Frey paid two men $5,000 for the killing. There are 99 prisoners facing a death sentence in Pennsylvania, not counting defendants already sentenced in county courts but not yet formally sentenced by a judge. Frey's case is the oldest and has no pending appeals. He was sentenced to death on March 20, 1981. If the execution takes place it would be the first in the state in nearly 27 years. That's quite a long time considering all the murders that have occured in the state during that time period. What's taking America's governors so long to "execute" these death sentences? Anybody who takes a human life should have his/her own life taken. The United States should use China's method of execution as an example. OPINION --- -- by Tom Obrzut Persons sentenced to death in China are executed in front of a crowd and some executions are even televised live. I think public executions would make quite an impact on society's potential killers. That's the kind of deterrent America needs. If someone is shown getting executed on TV, a potential murderer just might have second thoughts about killing a next door neighbor or anybody who crosses his/her path in the wrong way. Murderers are running wild in the streets of America and it's time to show them that the American justice system means business, swift business. If someone is sentenced to death, let's go throug with the killing, preferably in a short period of time. Keeping murderers alive only drains taxpayers' money. The state's electric chair has been used to execute 348 men and two women since 1915. The chair was last used on April 2, 1962, when Elmo Smith died for raping and killing a girl in Montgomery County. ,----------------- : 'r·h e Beacon I Serving Wilkes College since 1947 I VOL.

The shaped windows were cut in red mud brick walls, with a random gecko crawling and creeping, trying to find a vacant shadow or dusty corner. A pit of fire, attended to by small servant boys, was set into the stone floor. The smoke carried the aroma of curried rice to the far corners of the hall. Gathered between the aged chests of notebook paper and ancient sweatshirts were the denizens of this foul corner of the universe. I was crouched down on the floor, holding a bowl of stewed buffalo meat on my lap. I could just barely hear the sharp sounds of an old Siamese wind instrument being played in the distance. The girl in front of me was also listening. She had ~ purple dot on her forehead, her nose was pierced, and she was wrapped up in a costume consisting of yards of synthetic cotton. I think she was a foreign student. The man behind me, however, had a full length beard, long flowing, starched robes and a towel wrapped around his head. He mentioned something to me about going out to burn some Hindus. I regretfully declined, thinking he only wanted my spot in line. My fellow pilgrims made a path straight through the middle of the hall, finally bearing off to the right, to descend into the darkness of a hollow crypt. A man in an oversized bearskin was at the entrance, flaying every third entrant with a leather whip. He had obviously discovered that quaffing an entire bottle of Robotussin cough medicine will make one hallucinate. I leaned up against acarved teak elephant, refocusing my attention to the left and right of the line. To the right, believers kneeled on mats, raising and lowering their heads and arms, chanting prayers, looking towards their gods to provide them with the books they need to get through their classes. To the left, however, were the mourners and martyrs, grieving for friends not fortunate enough to have found their books to be in stock; The whole room was alive with activity, the fervor of prayer, the cries · of ecstasy, the awe of crowds at the sight of the sacrifice of a frozen chicken. I was a man with a mission. It was when I saw the golden stairs leading down into the basement that I was overcome with a sense of accomplishment I followed a flock of holy cows down into the darkness, grasping one's tail and letting it lead the way. What I saw .I simply couldn't believe. A fleet of some twenty small, dark, big-lipped boys in loincloths were running about in a maze of boxes, carrying parchments and scrolls. Every once in a while, one would rest and drink from a steaming cauldron in the corner. Being in no mood to deal with common slaves, I searched around and found an old, shriveled man lying in a pile of rags in the comer, eating salted dates on an old, rickety table with sawed-off legs. "If we have them, they'll be in the second coffin on the left." A slip of paper glued to the inside informed me that they would arrive py camel from Bombay in a week to ten days. Disenchanted, I climbed the tarnished stairs, layed down my thatched mat, and prayed to Allah with all the other poor souls. Editorial Oh beautiful/or spacious skies ... The sun sets beyond the Smoky Mountains. It causes the sky to burst with the most beautiful blend of orange, purple and blue the world may have ever seen. It makes me think about the beauty of the rest of our country; the world beyond the Wilkes College. · This is the world tqat I found on the road to Tennessee. A colleague and myself took the journey to Jefferson City, Tennessee for the Society for Collegiate Journalist's biennial Convention. Originally we were going to take alternate transportation (a.k.a. plane or bus). But due to cost contraint, we chose to travel - via "the Piece" - the 600-miles in a car. I have come to the conclusion that the only real way to see this country is on the road. Not above it from an airplane. The first night we drove long enough to take us into Harrisonburg, Virginia. We drove all night so we were unable to see the sights that the first half of the Shenandoah Valley had to offer. We woke up in time to enjoy an entire afternoon driving through the other half of the Valley. It was, for lack of a better word, utterly breathtaking. The mountains enveloped the countryside and caused the grass-covered hills to slope downward. These hillsides were covered with grazing cows and sheep. Yet another sign of America. Each section of 81, delineated by the state line, was unique in its own way. West Virginia was surrounded completely by trees for the 25-miles that the Interstate wound through. Maryland was much more urban in that it had cities for the entire 12-mile distance covered by 1-81. In contrast to the short distances traveleled in the previous states, Virginia was a whopping 324-miles from top to bottom. And we traveled the whole thing. . The return trip was equally beautiful. We took an alternate route and were able to see a little bit more of the beautiful land we live in. The trip we took brought us across the Tennessee border into North Carolina. During the trip we went through about thirty miles of National Forest Lands that are in Tennessee and North Carolina. The sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains through the trees was awe-inspiring. What this trip proved to me was that that song- "America the Beautiful" - shows America for just what it is. Or at least on that one stretch of highway, for that one particular time, in my eyes, we saw, "America the Beautiful." LSM Thumbs up: To the Programming Board for having the heads up to bring an act like Rick Kelley to Wilkes. Kelley had the best reaction by way of audience interaction this entire year.

As stated last week, the new core is optional for current Wilkes College students due to the time needed to establish the proposed courses. The changes in the writing aspect of the new core, intended "to help students become better writers," involves the addition of three "writing intesive" courses to the current requirements of English 101 & 102 and Composition I & II. Courses deemed "w;riting intensive" include English 201, Advanced Composition; English 202 and 203, Technical and Creative Writing; and BA 209, Business Correspondence and Reports. In the future, other. courses may be considered to meet criteria for writing intensive courses set by the Core Review Committee and its three member sub-committee on Writing, chaired by Dr. Patricia Heaman. Another new requirement introduced to the core is speech, a "meaningful ~xperience in oral presentation." It may be fulfilled through successful completion of SCT 101, other related classes with the permissio_n of the instructor, or two Oral Presentatioµ Requirement (QPR) courses as designated by the Oral Competency Committee headed by Dr. Brad Kinney. The mathematics requirement is slightly altered • requiring students to score higher than 475 in the math section of the SAT (or 'equivalent te'st) or, as with the old core, pass the Wilkes Mathematics Placement test. According to the proposal, the computer literacy portion of the new core may be fulfilled by passing any credit-bearing course in computer science, scoring a minimum of 3 in the computer science advanced placement test administered by the College Board, presenting a score of Dr. Bing Wong, chairman ot the core review committee. at least 50 in a CLEP unit in computing, or petitioning the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for a waiver on the basis of previous work with the computer. The last part of the "basic skills" portion of the curriculum involves the addition of a foreign language requirement satisfied by completing Foreign Language 102 or passing a foreign language test. This year's freshmen opting for the new core should be advised that they must sign up for the test, which is to be given on Wednesday, March 29, 1989, by March 17 on the second floor of Kirl:ly Hall by the Department of Language and Literature. Special arrangements for testing in Hebrew or any other language may be made with the Department. Incoming freshmen will be required to register for a one credit course called "Core Studies I," or they will automatically be registered the next semester.. It will provide an "introduction to emphasizing adjustment to college life, commuication, self-exploration, and goal expanded to a two-semester, two-credit foml8l permit." Those current Wilkes students who e new core will be granted an exemption from and recieve the one credit since they are be aquainted with the College ..

Cafeteria plans Easter buffet by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE An Easter buffet will be served at the Wilkes cafeteria next Thursday, March 16, from 4:30 to 6:15. The menu will consist of roast beef, baked ham, ravioli, baked potato and various vegetables and breads. As a treat, an ice cream sundae bar will be available for dessert. "We like to do something special for the students around the holidays," said Rick Mauer, Director of Food Services. "We think they will be pleased with this meal." Mauer's Food Service Management Staff, which also includes Ron Mytinger, Assistant Director of Food Services, works in _conjunction with the Wilkes Student Food Committee, a subdivision of InterResidence Hall Council, to shape the cafeteria's menu. President Sandro Rotella explained some of the committee's other functions. "When students have , ideas, suggestions or problems about the cafeteria, we present them to the Food Service Management Staff," he said. Standing (left to right): Rick Mauer, Director of Food Services; Ron Mytinger, Assistant Director of Food Services; Sandro Rotella, President of the Wilkes Student Food Committee; Harry Duffy, committee member. Seated (left to right): Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs; Jen Howell, committee Secretary. An Easter buffet is planned for students next Thursday evening at the cafeteria. "We serve as a method of feedback for the students." How should students make their views known to Rotella? "We have a suggestion box set up in the campus mailroom," he said. "That method has been very effective. As a result of suggestions, a juice machine has been installed and problem menus have been corrected. "Letters won't be accepted unless they are signed. That's very important." Plans are underway for an outdoor spring barbecue, which may include the grilling of hot dogs and hamburgers. "We're open to suggestion from students," Mauer said. "Thats who we're here to serve. We can't improve unless we hear from them." The Food and Management ' Staff also served special · dinners at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Mauer reiterated the regard his staff has for its customers. "We like to make the students feel that someone cares about them," he said. "We think special holiday meals are a nice touch."

"It is hard to believe administrators could be so unthinking and so ignorant of free press rights," said Mark Goodman of the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C. "We're looking for an apology and a guarantee it won't happen again," said Michael Hanna, The Vector's managing editor. Anderson's action, Hanna maintained, was another example of NJIT officials downplaying campus crime, adding that if new swdents don't know crime is a problem on the Newark campus, they could get hurt. "Being in Newark, we are aware of crime," replied NJIT spokeswoman Arlene Gilbert, but she said NJIT has a lower crime rate than other New-Jersey campuses and that it recently improved its security. Vector Editor-in-chief Mark Budzyn discovered the newspapers were missing from their bins, and when he asked about the papers at the school information desk, he was told the admissions office had talcen them just before a Feb. 19 open house for visiting high school seniors. When he asked about the papers at the admissions office, Budzyn says he was stonewalled. Angered, he placed signs on the bins that said the papers were confiscated by the admissions office. The signs prompted the admissions office to turn the bins Howtoget . throu~ ·college with moneyto spare: · around so the visiting high school seniors didn ;t see them. B udzyn then put signs on the back of the bins as well. The newspapers were returned a few hours later, after the open house campus tours ended. Anderson, who didn't return College Press Service's calls, met with several Vector staffers Feb. 21 to discuss the issue, and although he told them he "realized it was a bad judgement call, he didn't sound all that upset," Hanna said. "He wants people to see the best of the institute," Hanna said of Anderson. "He doesn't understand this is censorship. He doesn't understand our responsibility to let people know." NJIT President Saul Fenster "doesn't consider this lightly," said school spokeswoman Phyllis Miller. "He wants to make sure it doesn't happen again." Although the Student Press Law Center's Goodman thinks the paper's staff could sue, Hanna says The Vector's staff is satisfied with Anderson's apology and the administration's guarantees that papers won't be confiscated again.

CenTrust Savings Bank recently bought "Portrait of a Man as Mars," by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens from Sotheby's auction house, paying a $1.2 million commission in addition to the $12 million purchase price. In a March 3 letter, the Florida Office of Comptroller expressed its displeasure with the purchase and ordered the Miami-based bank to sell the painting within 30 days. The state has not yet heard what CenTrust plans to do about the order, Wendy Mitchler, a spokeswoman said Tuesday. However, she said it was rare for savings institutions to oppose the comptroller because the office supervises all state-chartered thrifts.

Winner of the National Coffeehouse Performer award for this year, Kelley made it easy for the audience to understand why he received this honor. Audience participation is a vital part of Kelley's show, and he built up their participation which went from merely singing along on the chorus to the "hand jive" to a full audience "Stroll."

In spite of the fact that he is now teaching, Kuhar still considers himself a student; the proverbial student of life. He is always reading, something he enjoys immensely, and he believes that "learning is a life-long chore." Writing, too, is familiar to Kuhar, who worked on the Valley View High School newspaper as the news editor. and was an Arts and Music reporter for the Duke, the Duquesne University paper. Why would Kuhar leave the vastness of Maryland Unversity for a small college like Wilkes? He was "looking for a position that would allow development professionally" and allow him to get the experience he needed. He says that he just happened to get lucky when he called Wilkes to see if there was a possibility of a position -- they needed an English professor.

Ryan felt J aworski's presence would affect Cunningham's ability to develop · leadership, so a contract wasn't offered to an institution of the City of Brotherly Love. However, Ryan sowed the seeds for Jaworski's departure during the '86 season. When a broken finger sidelined him for the final five games, Jaworski offered to assist Cunningham in a tutorial capacity. . Ryan balked and relegated ,him to the press box, commenting, "We already have a.quarterbacks coach." Is Jaworski bitter? ' "I respect Buddy Ryan," he said. "He's a fine 'x and o' coach. He and I never agreed philosophically. In our relationship, he was the boss and I did what said." Ryan, who coached the Birds to the NFC East title in 1988, his third season, is universally criticized for his abrasiveness. Is his bite as piercing as his bark?

Matthew, who will turn three in June, is a frequent visitor to the Wilkes gymnasium. "The job requires me to put in a lot of hours, so I'm not at home that much," Dunsmuir said. "I like to bring Matthew to as many of the sporting events as I can because he really loves it, and because I don't get to spend much time with him. "But the person who I give a lot of credit to is my wife Kathy. This job demands that I be away from from home a lot. She puts up with me not being home that much." While at work, Dunsmuir finds dealing with college students to be enjoyable. His favorite part of the job is seeing new faces come in year after year.

"I wonder, with all those times he gets tackled, how long he can last" Jaworski was primarily a pocket passer in his prime. He now personally observes Dan Marino, the premiere stand-up cannon.of this era, and echoes every accolade thrown the Golden Boy's way. "Dan Marino has the most god-given ability I've ever seen," he said. "Everything's so instinctive for him as far as the ability to get rid of the ball and read defenses. He's the best. "What I'd like to see Dan do is work a little harder. He should hit the weight machine so he can play ten more years, not four or five." · Hear that, Dan? That's a veteran talking, a soldier who withstood the pounding by creating a suit of armor via weights to bolster his 6'1 ", 195-pound frame.

The "Polish Rifle" is still shooting. �March 9, 1989 PAGE FOURTEEN Basketball's All- Everything... and "Chum" t With college basketball's conference play coming to an end, it's time to look back at the players who made this season a memorable one. College basketball's player of the year is without a doubt senior Sean Elliot of Arizona. Last year, Elliot was a key member of the Wildcats' final eight team which set a school record with 35 wins. But after losing seniors Tom Tolbert, Craig McMilan, and Steve Kerr (all three were starters), many experts thought Arizona would be lucky to win the Pacific- IO Conference, let alone be ranked number one in the country. But Elliot had different ideas. He passed up the NBA draft and has been the dominant player in college ball this season. He can play every position on the court. At 6'8", he can drill the three, handle the ball like a point guard, and rebound with anyone. But more importantly, he wins. He has his team ranked first in the country, a place no one outside the Arizona basketball team thought they could be, which is why he is the player of the year. Who else can play a little? First team All-America should be seniors Danny Ferry of Duke, Stacey "Sky" King and Mookie Blaylock of Oklahoma, Sherman "The General" Douglas of Syracuse and the freshman sensation from LSU, Chris Jackson. Ferry is another player who, like Elliot, can do it all. He has fine range from three-point territory and has excellent post up moves. He is also one of the game's best passers. The greatest part of his game is what most people don't see. Ferry gets away with about five fouls a half. He is so smart he knows when to push, shove, hold, and grab, a quality that can't be taught Oklahoma made it to the NCAA final last year and two of the Sooners' main componets returned to have stellar seasons. King is the best post player in the country. Get him the ball in the post and his turnaround jumper is automatic. He is averaging 26.2 points a game, including outbursts of 48 against Nevada-Las Vegas and 34 against Ohio State. He runs the floor and is a fine shot blocker, two additional plusses that make him a definite lottery pick in the NBA draft. Blaylock is averaging 22.6 points a game after making the successful switch to point guard from shooting guard, replacing Ricky "Amazing" Grace. Blaylock has excelled with the change in position. He is the leader of the Sooners and keys their fast break. But his best attribute is his tenacious defense. Blaylock is constantly causing problems for opposing guards. He leads the nation in steals and headaches caused. Douglas is the protype point guard, the best in the land. This season, Douglas became the NCAA's all-time leading · assist man. He also became Syracuse's all-time leading scorer, breaking Dave Bing's record. Douglas became an expert at the lob pass, refining it to a science. He is also a winner. "Douglas is the best competitor I've ever been around," said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. "He wants all the big shots ... he makes most of them." Rounding out the country's brightest stars is .the· youngest one. The freshman Jackson is unreal. Despite being only 5'9", his play is big time. He is lightning quick. If the defender lays off him, he'll bust the three. Play him up tight and he blows by. His play has been so impressive he has drawn comparisons to former Niagara great and NBA star Calvin Murphy, another 5'9" flash. He has exploded for 50 points four times this year, a remarkable feat for anyone, let alone a freshman. The second team is filled with great players. Any of them could be on the first team, and all will be pros. The point guard is Boston College's 5'10" senior Dana Barros. He's as quick as they come, and shoots the trey as if it were a layup. He has at least one three-point field goal in every game he has played in the past two years and has become his school's all-time scoring leader. The shooting guard is 6'4" sophomore Jay Edwards of Indiana. Edwards has rebounded from early sea">on drug problems and has overcome the wrath of head coach Bob Knight to turn in a banner season. Edwards is averaging 20.2 points a game but is especially effective when the game is on the line. When the clock is ticking down, Knight calls Edwards' number, and he always answers the call. One of the forwards has to be Glen Rice, a 6'7" senior from Michigan. Rice led the Big Ten in scoring last year and is in contention for the crown again this year. He is also close to the top in rebounding. Rice is a skywalker who can kill it from 22 feet and in. The other forward is Lionel "The Train" Simmons, a 6'6" junior from LaSalle University. He is a special player who can beat an opponent many diffrent ways. Put a taller forward on him and he beats him with a one-on-one isolation move. Put a smaller, quicker forward on him and he will post him up. Throw in his three-point range Simmons is a remarkable player. · The center is 6'9" Derrick Coleman of Syracuse. Coleman is a superb athelete with all the tools to become an NBA superstar. The only thing keeping him from becoming the most dominating player in college basketball next year is his attitude. Four guys who most have not heard of but are prime time players are Hank Gathers of Loyola Marymount, George McCioud of Florida State, Byron Dinkins of UNC-Charlotte and Todd Lichti of Stanford. They just don't get any ink but each is an All-American. Gathers is a 6'7" forward who has led the country in scoring and rebounding for most of the year, a pretty impressive accomplishment to say the least. Teams start covering McCloud when he gets off the team bus. He might not get a lot of media opponents know he can shoot it consistently Dinkins is a lean and mean 6'2" guard credentials. He was the Sun Belt player of the and there is no reason he shouldn't repeat Now it's time for the All-Rookie t freshmen in the land. The best is easy, be' than first team All-American Jackson. But of others. Next to Jackson, Alonzo Mourning has to the freshman who made the greatest impact Mourning was an instant starter for the Hoya, difference, leading them to the regular s rough and tough Big East.

Co Wilkes' •iack-of-all-trades Tom Dunsmuir does the job by Ray Ott Beacon Assistant SporJs Editor WILKES-BARRE - Eight years ago, Tom Dunsmuir needed a cornea transplant and a new job. At the time, Dunsmuir was working for ABM in Wilkes' old gym when he was informed he would have to quit his job. His doctor revealed to him that the chemicals he was working with were dangerous for his eyesight. "I was out of work for a while when Coach (John) Reese called me and asked me if I would like the position of gym coordinaiQr," Dunsmuir said.. "It . sounded like a good opportunity so I took it." And the rest, as they say, is history. Dunsmuir has been a mainstay in the gym for the past decade and has seen and done it all. His job title of gym coordinator includes everything from setting up for physical education classes to making sure all the home sporting events run as smooth as silk. "Tommy is the school's designated hitter. He c·a n do it all," said men's basketball coach Ron Rainey. "He is very active in the gym and is the most knowledgable person about the facility.

He can hit the 15-footer and pass underneath." Dave Argentati: "He's an outstanding shooter, especially from three-point range. He's also a good passer. "At the end of the season, I was bringing him off the bench instead of starting him. The minutes were the same and that's when he played his best basketball, probably the finest of his career." Rainey also encountered trouble in grooming a bench. "We didn't have the chance to let our younger players develop on the floor. If they made a mistake, I had to give them the yank. That hurts their confidence level, but they'll be better off for their experience." One thing Rainey is confident in is the contention that . he still enjoys coaching. Immensely. "The players made it enjoyable for me this year," he said. "They were really a great group. I couldn't have asked for a better attitude on their part." The Marts Center is a welcome addition to Rainey's basketball atmosphere. "We've gone from having the fifth or sixth best gym in our league to having the best," he said. "It's a goal of mine through a desert of his team's inconsistency, · of victory.

That's not the case. We had a chance to make the playoffs at the end. That shO\\'.S that they were competitve all year long." Indeed, despite a 1-8 start, the Colonels were knocking on the postseason door as they entered a four-game stretch against MAC Northeast foes Drew, Scranton, FDU-Madison and Delaware Valley at the Marts Center. Rainey felt they could win all four, but one became the actual number. "That stretch crushed us," he said. "I really thought we were ready to play our best basketball." They didn't. · In the loss to Drew, the Colonels led by 15 midway through the second half before collapsing defensively. Peaks and valleys. The Colonels return everyone in 1989-90 with the exception of Marc Graves. They should be in the thick of things in the MAC race with the addition of big bodies. But that's an intangible, a maybe. Rainey assessed the pros and cons of this year's squad. Listen up, boys. Graves: "He's most likely the best that's ever played the point guard position at Wilkes. He was one of those rare basketball players who was at full speed after a few steps. He could blow by a whole team. "Sometimes, because he wanted to win so badly, he hurt us. He made some mistakes at the end of games, trying to do too much. It wasn't from a lack of effort. He just tried too hard. "I think his experience and his practice intensity helped our young team." Jim Nolan: "He's an outstanding offensive basketball player. What he needs to do to become complete is improve . Photo by Donna Yedlock his defense and rebounding.

Coach Kest felt her team just didn't have it "We weren't in the game mentally," she said. "That's been a problem all year. Sometimes we just don't play 40 minutes of basketball." Some Lady Colonels hinted about confusion on the floor. "It was confusing," Kovaleski said. "We were substituting players and switching defenses. It was tough." Kennedy commented, "I think Coach Kest · was trying to run too many things at once." Kest was puzzled b.y the comments. "We were only running the 2-3 zone and man-to-man defenses. I don't know how they could be confused. Again, I don't think they were mentally in the game," said Kest, who took the loss in stride: ''I'd rather be here and lose than, not be here at all. We got some valuable playoff experience. "What we do next year is entirely up to the girls. They have to work over the summer on the weaknesses that . we stressed all season." Kennedy feels this year's good fortune is just a glimpse of things to come. "I . think next year, the team will go even farther," she said. "The team matured a lot this season." Kest agrees with her lone departing senior. "The young girls got a whole bunch of experience," she said. 'Tm sure some of the freshmen feel they didn't get the playing time they wanted, but they did get experience. That's the most important thing." A tough loss to Scranton in the MAC playoff and the drubbing from Ursinus shouldn't sour the taste of a fine season for the Lady Colonels, according to Kest. "Being in this atmosphere will help us when we encounter the same situation this year," she said. That's a confident coach talking. Her assurance is warranted. She turned a 7-17 squad completely around in a year. And if her advice is followed, the Lady Colonels' season may last a little longer next time around. �The Locker Room Women's Basketball (cont'd) The Razor's Edge Tom Dunsmuir Ron Jaworski Watch for the Spring sports coming soon to The Be Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Colonels finish a disappointing eighth at Easterns Schroat, Bauer qualify for NCA by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor BETHLEHEM Turning points present themselves in different ways for different individuals. When Mike Schroat won the 161-pound class in January's Wilkes Open, his confidence was the beneficiary. That feat let him know that bigger and better things were on the horizon. Brian Bauer's body served as his indicator. Injuries suffered in the Wilkes Open and later in the season sent Bauer the ·message to set a more even keel. Different roadways, the same results. Schroat and Bauer each qualified for the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City (March 16-18) at the EIWA Tournament last Saturday. Schroat, a junior, placed third at 158 and Bauer was voted the lone wildcard slot by participating coaches. Although Schroat and Bauer, a senior, lived up to expectations, the rest of John Reese's Colonels failed to do so. The Colonels finished eighth in the team standings, 70 points behind top finisher Syracuse. Reese was disappointed with his team's performance. "We were the victim of some bad refereeing, but we didn't wrestle as well as we could have," he said. "But that's how you learn, by wrestling in tournaments such as these. "Only three of our guys had experience at Eastems. The rest got to see what it's all about. This will help them when they encounter similar situations down the road." Colonel of the Week The Colonels were in good shape after Friday's action, with eight wrestlers still alive for Saturday. But Bauer and Schroat were the only two left standing at the end. "When I won at the Wilkes Open, I knew I could win a tournament;" Schroat said. "I also trained hard all year and kept a good mental attitude." Schroat considers his ability to stay out of tie-ups to be a main reason for this season's dazzling performance. "I just stay on my feet and try to take control of a match," he said. "I try to set the tone and not let the other guy tie me up." What are Schroat's goals for the NCAAs? "I want to win my weight class," he said, "but finishing in the top eight (out of 36) and being named an All-American would do just fine." The injuries that plagued Bauer this season turned out to be beneficial to his career. "I paced myself more this season," he said. "The injuries were a big reason. I also wanted to avoid the burnout I had last season." Bauer's goals sound strikingly similar to Schroat's in regards to the NCAA Tourney. Brian Bauer (top), seen against Hofstra, qualified for lbt "I want to be named AllAmerica," he said. "Going to this tournament is the highest point of my wrestling career." The trip is also high on Reese's list of thrills. Brian should enjoy ii. "It's great to go wrestlers you read and Brian have c get a good draw luck." "To get to the. nationals means that you're the cream of the crop," he said. "Mike and Schroat and ability also something.

A Concerned Senior DID YOU KN Ow-;:, · The Facts About Saint Patrick It's no blarney to say many people are pretty green when it comes to knowing fact from fiction about St. Patrick and his day. For example, did you know: Dear Editor . • • Two weeks ago I wrote an editorial entitled "The College Alcohol Policy Needs Help." I have since received anonymous phone calls from people who believe I was wrong for writing what I did. I've also heard from many friends who spoke to disgruntled readers who told them to tell me that they didn't like what I wrote. An editorial is the opinion of the staff or the editor. In this case it was the editor's opinion as well as the opinion of several members of the Editorial Board. · I've been accused of being "holier-than-thou," confusing my facts, not even being at Winter Weekend at all and making it all up due to an overactive imagination. Sorry folks, I was there, and it all happened. At the beginning of this semester and near the beginning of last semester, opinion writer Tom Obrzut and I both editorialized the Student Government We both received the same kind of treatment -- anonymous phone calls and a whole bunch of "my friend told me's ... ". The biggest difference between the first and the second incident was the ultimate reaction from those who were "editorialized." We received letters in the "Beacon Mailbox" from representatives of the Student Government the week after the Obrzut opinion piece ran. This is the mature, civilized way to respond to something written in a newspaper that you don't like. A letter to the editor is meant to address differences in opinion that a reader has with the writer of an article or an editorial. Letters can be very valuable to an Editorial Board. They can help point out problems that have, as of yet, not been discovered. When a reader has a problem with something that has been written and does not address it, he has done a disservice to himself as well as the paper. The Beacon is put out by us for you. If you have a complaint, don't sit in your dorm and bitch and moan to friends behind the back of the writer. Do something constructive. Put it in a letter. The letter policy is clearly stated on the bottom of the staff box located on page two. All letters will be accepted and printed contingent on space limitations. Please keep all letters under our 500-word maximum. If you don't like what I say, that's fine. If you sit around and do nothing about it, that's not as good, but it's okay, too. . But, if you talk a blue streak about what bothers you, be prepared to say it where it counts. It doesn't count when it's behind the writer's back. -LSM ------------~--------' ?

Reports show at the end of the fall ·semester, 3,848 students were enrolled at Wilkes. This number includes full- and part-time undergraduates in addition to those seek- ing their Master's degrees. Scott Bodfish, director of Institutional Research, said full-time students make up almost half of the student body, with 1,800 enrolled. Approximately 75 percent of the full-time undergraduate students live in Pennsylvania, while 25 percent are from other states and countries, he said. Of the 1,392 students pursuingamaster'sdegree,49areenrolled on a full-time basis and 1,343 are enrolled as part-time graduate sbldents. The Master's program at ] Wilkes bas also seen increased interest. Students are no longer satisfied with a Bachelor's Degree and see earning a Master's as an opportunity to find a higher paying job. Bernie Vinivorski, dean of Admis&ons, is optimistic that the recent trend of higher enrollments will continue. , "We expect to have an enrollment equal to or greater than last fall," he said. He said applications have been coming in regularly since last year and many students have already toured the campus. Students to hear deaf actress - Five students in the Wilkes College Department of Speech/Communications/ Theatre Arts have been given the opportunity to meet acclaimed deaf actress Phyllis Frelich as part of the Cooperative Lecture Series.

's no question about it," Angie Aschoff of Linnmunity College's placein Oregon, "the nulllber ·sed with us is up this ning nationwide. Two surveys, released in ,ofnational corporate hirgrads both predicted a g. Northwestern University's Lindquist-Endicott Report predicted an eight percent jump in corporate demand for graduates with bachelor's degrees. Those graduates will receive starting salaries that are an average 4.6 percent higher than those garnered by the Class of '88. Starting salaries for students with new master's degrees should be 3.5 percent higher than last years, NU's report added. While Michigan State University's Annual Recruiting Sur- vey does not paint as rosy a picture, it does predict "new graduates will face a healthy job market." MSU asked 427 corporations about their hiring plans. In response, the firms expected to make 3.1 percent more job offers to students this year, and said they were especially interested in hiring more women and minority grads. Some students consequently feel they're in the driver's seat. "I'm looking for an attractive company with travel and benefits," said University of Maryland senior Maurice Boissiere of his job search. "Right now I'm looking at company profiles. I'm interviewing them." The companies feel it, too. "We will be offering jobs to people who know they are going to be in great demand," conceded Sally Odle, recruiting manager for IBM. "We have to offer jobs that are challenging and interestng." Deborah DeBow of Eastern Washington University's Placement Office also found "there's more competition (for students), so companies are getting more agressive. 00000000000000000000000 They're buying ads in student publications and coming into the office to 8 The boom is better for some students than others. "Engineering, accounting and health professions are our most sought-after graduates," said DeBow, while Linn-Benton's Aschoff finds clerical, nursing and automotive students in high demand. Michigan State researchers said electrical engineering majors will be in the greatest demand, followed by marketing and sales, financial administration, mechanical engineering and computer science majors.

"They're saying we suspended the Duke over an ad," she said. "But that's not the case. Actually we've filed charges against Drumm asking that she not be editor anymore because of the way the paper's been operated." "We have to take drastic measures if she's not willing to cooperate," Streib mai~~ned. "When someone refuses to answer a question, you have to be susp1c1ous." Drumm says no one ever bothered to ask her questions. "I don't know what motivated Happy (Meltzer, SGA president) to bring these charges," Drumm said. "I haven't even spoken to him this year," Drumm said of Meltzer. "Everything was real quiet until this happened." Drumm's attorney Joel Klein said when Drumm first learned the students were improperly using the account, she disciplined them. Criminal charges were never filed against the two. "It's old news," said Klein, who added student politicians never complained about the circumstances around Drumm's election for almost a year. "Why did they wait to bring it up?" Other student groups, morever, also have off-campus accounts, but the SGA has never investigated them. Most Duke staffers figure it's a power play. "It just seems they're trying to dig up anything they can," said sports editor Frank Bodani. "I don't think there's any substance." "They want the power over what goes in the paper," Bodani asserted. Goodman of the Student Press Law Center agreed. The charges "are nothing but pretexts," who says it's common for student governments to censor student newspapers when they don't like what's published. In fact, at about the same time the Duqesne campus was debating its paper, the dean of admissions at the New Jersey Institute of Technology confiscated an edition of The Vector, the student paper. The edition carried a story about a mugging on campus that Dean William Anderson felt gave the school a bad name on the very day a group of high school students were touring the campus, thinking of applying for admission.

This past weekend, at King's College, people's bad habits were amusingly dealt with in a production entitled, appropriately enough, Bad Habits. Produced under the direction of J. Gerald Godwin, Bad Habits is actually a collective title for two separate plays dealing with people and their bad habits. Ravenswood, the first half of the double bill written by Terrence McNally, takes place. at an expensive retreat for married couples who are experiencing difficulties. Dr. Pepper, the owner and marriage guide who encourages his patients to indulge in their bad habits, was portrayed by Wilkes' own Rob Johansen. Despite having to perform the entire show in a wheelchair, Johansen more than lived up to his reputation for a quality per. formance. The rest of the cast, which consisted of Jack Godwin, Maura Mundy, Brian Lynch, Michele M. Mazzei, Vince Marfia, Tim Trach, and Richard E. Conway, gave a consistently amusing, and sometimes side-splitting, performance. Special notice should be given to Jack Godwin for his hilariously straight performance as Otto the Nazi German butler, and to the comedy team of Vince Marfia and Tim Trach for their delightful performance as two unbearable friends who needed help learning to get along. These three turned what would have merely been a funny show into something completely hysterical. The second half of the show again took place in a treatment center, this time called Dune/awn. At Dunelawn, Dr. Toynbee, a man described by patients and collegues as a "saint," injects his patients with a drug to control their bad habits and put them on the road to perfection. Portraying the saintly Dr. Toynbee was a repeat actor from were cast as n and Becky H ward perfectio patients.

Presented in format, with the four sides of the Habits kept the tention consistently the performance. an evening well• everyone left pleased they had seen. Wilkes laughing from Joey K by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor The magnetism that drew students to the SUB for Rick Kelley's show last week remained in position for this week's comedy presentation. The comedy of Joey Kola caused - once again - the SUB to be filled to the rafters and, for the second week in a row, the Programming Board had a Standing Room Only show. And - once again - the students were treated to some quality entertainment Kola, a native of Brooklyn, did a wide variety of comedy, but his best stuff involved his own family. He kept the crowd in stitches wth his remembercnces of his mother, ("She'd always wake me up to find out when I am gelling up, 'Honey, get up, when are you getting up, Haaah?"'); his grandfather, ("He always sounded like he was choking."); his wife, ("We moved into our new house and now all my wife has me do is spackle . . . sand it down, and paint it."); and his mother-in-law, ("She's like Cybil."). Kola had a great deal of fun with the audience, involving them whenever he could. At one point he said that he might scrap his entire act to have fun with the audience. In an unusual twist of events, the irrepressable Flounder was replaced by John Sheehan and Adam Tillman who were invited to sit next to the stage. They offered information to the comedian whenever they could. At one point, however, Sheehan got on the nerves of Kola and the professional shot back with, "what did you say you little fuck? Do I go to McDonalds and bother you when you are working?" Also from the "Fun With John Sheehan" department, and this may be the first he has heard of this, Kola played a practical joke on him. When Sheehan left the room, Kola quietly told the audience to give him a standing ovation when he said kangaroo. This was to happen when Sheehan returned to the room. It worked and Sheehan looked lost. Kola added the final nail when he said, "what a great joke, a comedian tells one like that only once in a lifetime." He also offered advice to the lovers in the audience. "Wear Condoms." He then discussed the ramifications of colored condoms. "Green condoms will cause 'Jolly Green Giant' jokes, 'Is it the Jolly Green Giant or Sprout?'" "Blue condoms will cause Smurf jokes while red condoms will cause her to ask if you are a German Shepherd." He closed with a flurry of jokes about his wife, their engagement and eventual wedding. "Men stay mad at their women until they need sex, then they crawl back." He also said that the engagement ring gives the woman the "Power of Greyskull." Joey Kola was a very funny famil y oriented comedian who did a good job of turning ordinary life situations into humor. Once again, according to audience reaction, the Programming Board had heads up to bring this fellow to campus.

In view of this, my sidekick Sheldon and I have been doing some serious introspection. . Sheldon and I decided to take some R & R in Florida. As we were driving to Disney World, past Sea World, Circus World, Western World, Baseball World, Gator World, Worm World, and World World, an Idea began forming in our heads.

"I moved in with Andre and he constantly stresses positive thinking," Froehlich said. "Moving off campus helped me to get more sleep and get my schoolwork done. And being with Andre all the time gives me a chance to learn more about wrestling." The muscular Froehlich considers strength to be one of his greatest assets. "My strength gives me my endurance," he said. "I'm able to be strong for three periods and many of my opponents can't do that." Miller agrees. "He's able to wear people down. He stays right in front of the guy and is constantly on the attack. He's unorthodox. "Mike's most prominent attribute is his persistence. He just thrives on the mat. It's a tribute to his temperament. He has impressed Coach Reese and me." What are Froehlich's impressions of Reese after one year of tutelage under Wilkes' wrestling icon? · "I have a lot of respect for Coach Reese," he said. "He j ust knows what he's doing. He's produced so many winners. I've never drilled so much in my life." Reese is equally impressed with Froehlich. "He's an excellent wrestler," he said. "He's done very well for such an early stage in his career." At Easterns, Froehlich made the mistake of letting his weight soar the night before the semifinals. He was a half-pound overweight when the scales closed and he spent a sleepless evening sweating it out. His strength was depleted and he finished sixth in the tourney. "He made a freshman mistake," Reese said. "Because he needs his strength, he wasn't in top form," Miller said. That was Froehlich's low point of the season. His highest accomplishment? Defeating East Stroudburg's Anibal Nieves, who was ranked seventh in the nation, 8-6. "I was pumped after that match," h'e said. ''.That was unbelievable. "This experience is new for me. Because of my team's record in high school, I'm not used to winning." Lou Gehrig wasn't used to playing, Mike.

Two of the other two teams will be Michigan from the Southeast regional and Duke from the East regional. And the champion, from the West regional, will be... The University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Running Rebels have been a favorite in the past but this year no one will be looking for them. In 1987, they had the best show in Vegas. They were ranked number one in the nation for the majority of the year and made it to the Final Four before getting knocked off by eventual champion Indiana. This year, the players are different and the talent is probably better. Head' coach Jerry Tarkanian has the Rebs playing super ball. They have won 26 games this season and are fresh off the Big West tournament championship. The thing about this team is that it plays consistent defense. In the NCAA tournament, defense wins. UNL V has two great defensive players in 6'7" Olympian Stacey Augmon and guard Greg Anthony. The Rebs are also exceptionally quick and have an unbelievable running game. So stop eating your towel and start waving it, Tark. Cut down the nets and get set for the biggest party Las Vegas has ever had: '; ~· • '" . '· ". · .• '· . ·.

For those that have been putting off weight training because of expense or inconven ience, complain no more. Is basketball, badm inton or volleyball a desired activity? The Marts Center's state-of-the-art facilities are there for the taking. A-ccording to Associate Athletic Director Phil Wingert, all students are not aware of that fact. "Some students have mentioned to me in casual conversation that they don't know that the weight room is available to non-athletes," Wingert said. "That's simply not the case. The gym was built for all the students to use. They are certainly welcome to use the complex and would be foolish not to." Wingert also stressed the benefits that the Marts Center will give to the Wilkes mindset. "It's great that the students have a place on campus to frequent where they can let off some steam," he said. "A healthy body contributes to a healthy mind. "This center will help retain students and help bring new students in. It's unbelievable." Todd Ritter, Director of Intramurals and Football Strength Coach, also encourages wider use of the gym by the students. "It's there for everybody," he said. "The weight room is one of the finest in the area and it's constantly supervised. It benefits young people to become stronger and physically fit." The weight room is open from 1-10 on Monday Thursday, 1-8 on Friday and 1-6 on Saturday. The gymnasium is open from 1-11 seven days a week. Head football coach Bill Unsworth shares his colleagues' enthusiasm in regards to the Marts Center and its fruits. "The offerings in the gym give the students a chance to recreate," he said. "The students have an excellent chance to obtain and keep a healthy body. That's a crucial condition in a young adult's life. "Voltaire said, The stronger the body, the better it obeys. The weaker the body , the more it commands.' That says it all" Wingert is still astonished at the fact that the gym is standing. "It's hard to believe that they broke ground last March and this place was up in nine months," he said. "President (Christopher) Breiseth made a promise when he came here that we would get a new facility and he delivered." Now, Wilkes students can reap the rewards. Num Two Wilkes students take advantage of the weight .... Tark the Shark will surface in Sea The NCAA Basketball Tournament, the most exciting sporting event in the land, has arrived. There will be plenty of thrills and spills, cheers and tears, and in the end, "Tack the Shark" will win the "Battle in Seattle.'' Georgetown, the Big East regular season and tournament champion, was given the number one seed in the East regional while Arizona claimed it in the West. The other two first seeds stirred a bit of a controversy. Oklahoma was given the number one seed in the Southeast regional despite losing the Big Eight championship to Missouri, while Illinois copped the top spot in the Midwest regional. Illinois finished second in the Big 10 toindiana, the number two seed in the West regional. "If the Big 10 champion doesn't get the first seed - the best league in the country according to every power rating I've seen - then why the hell play it? " said Indiana head coach Bob Knight. Calm down , Bobby. You are going to get excited enough if you face your archrival Dale Brown and the LSU Tigers in the second round of the West regional. You play it for the money, exposure, and excitement. Every team in the tournament will recieve at least $250,000 and some national television exposure. Each Final Four squad is guaranteed $1,231,000, an astronomical amount. Also, Bob, the NCAA thinks the ACC is the best conference in the county, rewarding them with six berths, more than any other conference. Now for the exciting part The great thing about this tournament is its unpredictability. The last team to win the tournament after ending the season ranked number one in the country was North Carolina in 1982, so you can rule out Arizona being national champions. You always have an underdog. In 1983, North Carolina State played the role of Cinderella and won it all. In 1985, it was Villanova and Rollie Massimino's tum to pull off the miracle. And just last year, Danny Manning strapped the Kansas Jayhawks on his back and carried them to the pinnacle. Kansas has since been placed on probation, becoming the first champion in history that's not allowed to defend its title because of recruiting violations. This year there is a handful of teams that could wear the glass slipper. Minnesota, picked as a 2,000: 1 shot to win the whole ball of wax, could shock some people. The Golden Gophers, like N.C. State, Villanova, and Kansas before them, come from an extremly competitive conference and have pulled their share of upsets in the Big 10 this year. They are led by 6'7" forward Willie Burton, who averaged 18 points and seven rebounds a game. The 17-11 Golden Gophers will face Kansas State tonight in the East regional. LaSalle, which won the Metro Atlantic could be a team to be reckoned with.

II Bradley tabbed as commencement speaker by Michele Corbett Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE- United States Senator Bill Bradley will be this year's principal commencement speaker. The Arnaud C. Marts Sports and Conference Center is the scheduled site of the event Saturday, May 27, at 4 p.m . "Senator Bradley was, early on, our choice as principal speaker for this particulai commencement in the new Marts Sports and Conference Center," said Wilkes President Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth. "His distinguished reputation as both a scholar and athlete personifies the Wilkes mission, which includes providing our students an education that develops the whole person, both mind and body," he said. During the ceremonies, the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters will be bestowed upon Senator Bradley. ' After a college athletic career highlighted by All-American honors at Princeton University and an Olympic Gold Medal, Senator Bradley studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. He graduated with honors in 1967 after eaning a Master's Degree. As a member of both the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources , and the Committee on Special Aging on the Federal level, Bradley is of special interest to this area. Senator Bradley played professional basketball with the New York Knickerbockers from 1967 to 1977, during which time he started for the two world championship teams in 1970 and 1973. Bradley converted from "roundball to the hardball politics of the senate" in 1979 and has since been recognized by his party as a leader and role model especially in the areas of environmental issues, and tax reform. Bradley, while considered a liberal generally, nevertheless has appel!,I across the political spectrum and is a likely presidential candidate in the '92 race. The College is holding a press conference during Senator Bradley's visit on May 27. This is Senator Bradley's second visit to the Wilkes-Barre area. In October 1986, he stumped in support of Wilkes trustee Rep. Paul Kanjorski, who was seeking his second term in Congress. �PAGE TWO April 6, 1989 Legal correspondent Nina Totenberg speaks at Wilk Nina Totenberg, legal correspondent, speaks at the Eigth Annual Installment of the Max Rosenn Lecture Series. Wilkes President Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth is seated behind her. by Dave Kaszuba Special to the Beacon As Nina Totenberg was introduced at the Wilkes College Center forthe Performing Arts last Tuesday, a tremendous round of applause greeted National Public Radio's award-winning legal affairs correspondent. Approaching the micro- phone, Totenberg quickly noted that the reverberating ·welcome caused the platform to shake. But Totenberg, the guest speaker at the Eighth Annual Installment of the Max Rosenn Lecture . Series, also shook - or at the very least captivated- the audience with her candid views on the legal system. Among the opinions she offered? That the Supreme Court would soon reverse the "Roe vs. Wade" decision which legalized abortion; that Attorney General Richard Thornburgh is, to a great extent, motivated by personal ambition; and that former president Ronald Reagan probably will not be required to testify at the Oliver North trial. "Roe vs:Wade," the last case scheduled for the current-court term, will be reviewed on April 26. "If you want to leave the status quo as it is then you don't challenge the status quo," Totenberg reasoned. "My expert opinion is that 'Roe vs. Wade' will be reversed." Toten berg said that Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who was appointed under the Reagan administration, would likely be "the fifth vote to tip the balance" in favor of the conservative stance on many issues, including abortion. She also believes that if "Roe vs. Wade" were reversed, the Republican Party would, in the long run, suffer as a result. "There's an enormous yuppie vote out there and a vast amount of these people go to the polls," Totenberg said.

Yuppie, who's the vice presidentofa bank, realizes that she is pregnant and can't have an abortion that she might want, she suddenly becomes a one issue voter. That's something she wouldn't have been in a million years." Totenberg, not one to pull punches, continued to manifest her admirable candor when she turned her attention to new Attorney General Richard Thornburgh. "Some things are not easy to say, especially in Pennsylvania," she said. "Richard Thornburgh was a very capable governor here, but it's fair to say that the consensus of those of us who cover him is that he's the most political Attorney General we've ever seen."

For Phyllis Frelich, not being able to hear has been a way of life that she was born into. Tuesday evening, though, she showed the large crowd that gathered in the Marts Center that deafness is not a handicap, it's just a communication barrier that is easily overcome. Frelich was born in Devil's Lake, North Dakota; she is the eldest child of two deaf parents and has seven deaf siblings. She attended numerous schools for the deaf where she was taught that learning to speak was more important than learning to use sign language. "If I would sign, my teacher would slap my hands with a ruler," she said. Sign language then became an escape for her and other students who couldn't learn to speak. According to Frelich, "Signing made communicating natural, where speaking was not natural." Frelich said that speaking is an almost impossible thing to learn by many deaf people. She equated it to asking a hearing person to describe accurately what it would be like to be deaf. Upon graduating from high school, Frelich enrolled in Gallaudet College. At that time Gallaudet was the only college in the country that specialized in deaf students. Frelich's dream in college was to graduate with a degree in theater, but Gallaudet did not offer such a program. Consequently, she majored in library science. She was told in library science that "whatever town your husband works in you can get a job." When she graduated from college, though, she did not have a husband. ery production that lege put on and al dream of working in the in her heart.

If it is opened, those nts affected by the fire will be given first option to return. Barre Hall was coed and housed freshmen through seniors. Allen pointed out that most students were surprised in learning that their personal belongings weren't covered by the College's insurance. Students must claim their losses on their parents' homeowners insurance. Two students, Scott Jack and Micheal Naholnik, lost everything. The frre took most of the belongings of another pair while the rest of the ill-fated Barre residents' belongings sustained varied degrees of smoke and water damage.

The administration's decision to hold this year's graduation in the Arnaud C. Marts Sports and · Conference Center is very unpopular with seniors and many underclassmen. When it's time for my graduation from Wilkes, I don't want to graduate in the gym so I can sympathize with this year's seniors. The thought of family members watching their son or daughter graduate on a television after sinking a big chunk of their family finances into a college education is appalling. As of Wednesday, each graduate will be given six tickets to distribute among their family members. What happens if a student has more than six loved ones that want to attend graduation? That's where the televisions come in. Televisions will be set up in the auxiliary rooms of the gym for family members not allowed to watch graduation in person. Now that the graduates family members have been taken care of, where will their friends be seated? Guess what? No where. Due to the limitations on the gym's seating capacity underclassmen will not be allowed to attend this year's ceremony. OPINION by Tom Obrzut - Recent alumni and the college's contributors might also be barred from the ceremony. But you can bet your bottom dollar that some of the college's biggest contributors will be seated in the VIP section in the first row. What a shame. Many students say the decision to hold the ceremony in the gym was made without their input. As you saw this morning many of them feel _Ralston Field is where they want their graduation ceremony. The administration must also remember that the decision to hold graduation in the gym will leave a lasting scar on the college's future fund raising. The final impression of Wilkes the approximately 450 graduates will have will be a negative one and when it comes time to open up their wallets for their alma mater don't be surprised if their wallets remained closed. It might be too late to change this year's decision, but I stand behind the students who feel this decision was made in error. The decision is wrong and hopefully the same decision won't be made in the future because if it is the administration will face the same situation. ,------------------ : The B,e aeon I Serving Wilkes College since 1947 I VOL.

For their part, the members of the executive board said that they weren't aware that a problem of this magnitude existed. Yet they did acknowledge that there is a problem with a turnout at elections. Perhaps this isn't just a coincidence. · One member of the executive board tried to equate the Wilkes College election turnout to that of the turnout in the election for President of the United States. He said that, "If people in this country won't vote in a national election how can they be expected to vote in a student government election?" When examining the facts, though, about 50% of the eligible voters turned out to vote in the 1988 Presidential elections, whereas only one-third of the students at Wilkes The University of . Scranton tGovernment President calls "elitist" The students at College call them our Student I As we head through another of unpopular Student Governelections, it is becoming in. gly evident that one of the reasons that students don't in lhese elections is that qualicandidates are being told that cannot run for the position of lGovernment President. The current S.G. Constitution, as recently as 1985, forbids IS to run for president, even as in candidates, until they have one full year on S.G. at .

According to Sweigert, "There is no competition for the positions and as a result the elections aren't pumped up." Why is there a lack of competition for posts that could normally shape the Ii ves of all of the current and future students at Wilkes? One probable example can show that competent candidates are being denied their rights as citizens of the United States and therefore could be causing these problems. A student - "Carol" - transfers to Wilkes after completing two years of college at another institution. Carol had been a member of See Wilkes page 6 I I I ////: t::::c:< I I, ..

I In their latest show of indifference towards the feelings of the student body, the administration has decided to stage this spring's commencement exercises in the Arnaud C. Marts Center rather than the traditional Ralston Field. The process that led to this decision, as well as the actual decision itself, in the opinion of The Beacon,. is wrong. Once again, the administration has told the students, in this case the senior class, that despite the money they pay and the work they do, their voices will not be heard. The voice of the student should be the most important on the campus of any college. This, however, is not usually the case. It seems that at Wilkes College, the pecking order is John Wilkes Club members (big money donors), Board of Trustees members, administration, BIG SPACE, faculty, and students. When the big picture is looked at with a microscope, the only people that the school really couldn't survive without are the faculty and students - the two voices most commonly ignored. According to the administration, at this point the gavel has been dropped and the verdict returned. Graduation, whether we like it or not, will be held in the gym. As we all know, the gym, with a seating capacity of 3000 in the bleachers and a legal safety limit of 3500, is not prepared to handle the crowd that a Wilkes graduation is used to having. (In the past, at Ralston Field, guests were unlimited.) Now students will be told that they can only bring a certain number of guests and an even smaller number of those will be allowed in-gym-seating. The rest will be asked to sit in one of the other rooms in the gym and watch graduation on wide-screen, closed-circuit TV's. This is not what the family and friends of graduates imagined they would have to go through in order to see their loved one graduate from college. The students should be the first to be consulted when it comes to such decisions. It's not that irrational to allow the graduates to decide where their four years of heavy debt and hard work will end. As for the gym, why not use it for a giant reception for the families and friends of graduates? It can still be involved in the festivities but it doesn't have to take such a controversial role. If the gym becomes the site of graduation for good (as long as that lasts these days), Wilkes College will once again take a step away from the tradition that has made it what it is. Graduation will become the Belltower reincarnate and the lustre of the bright and beautiful Marts Center will be forever tarnished. Is this what you want?

The first play, The American Dream by Edward Albee, is directed by Patrick L. Shields, a senior theatre and English major at Wilkes. According to Shields, The American Dream is a dark comedy and social satire, and he warns the public that "it may offend." With its comments on middle-class American society, The American Dream, is filled with sarcasm, cynicism, and ironic humor. "In my show, there are also students who have graduated and have come back to do this ....They're coming back to work on this show, not for money, but for pleasure," says Shields of Don Semyon and Rebecca Schmidt, the two alumni in his cast. Rounding out his cast are Jennifer Hussey, a sophomore at King's College, Jason Delcampe, a Wilkes freshman , and Christine Brunnock, a sophomore at Wilkes. The second show, directed by Jeffrey Eline, is Chinamen by Michael Frayn. Described by Eline as a "British comedy," Chinamen is unique because "it has two actors, who, between them, play seven different characters." The actors who are pulling off this incredible feat of talent · are Maureen O'Hara, a junior at Wilkes, and John Domzalski, a Wilkes senior. According to Eline, "the student directed one-acts with full stage set, costumes, and lighting, represent the culmination of a theatre student's college career, bringing together all elements of theatre from directing the play to printing the tickets." "They're a wonderful experience," says Dr. Marti LoMonaco, of the_theatre department. "The only way to learn to direct is to do it." For a theatre student, hands-on experience is a vital necessity, something that is often unavailable at larger colleges. Adds Director of Theatre Karl Ruling, "This is one of the few places where undergraduates get to do that (get hands-on experi- Seen are eight students involved in the one-act plays.

Wilkes student government while attending the other college; she even held the position of president Her junior year is spent trying to acquire friends and figure out Wilkes. She almost certainly couldn't haven't gotten a position on Student Government She now prepares fo,r her senior year with the aspiration of helping her school by becoming S.G. president. The dream will end there as she is not elegible to run for the position that she desires. What is the Wilkes Student Government trying to hide? Every one of the area colleges that were contacted allow all students to take part in the entire election process. Students are allowed to run. for every position as well as vote in the elections. Every college, that is, except Wilkes. Student Government Vice President Scott Barth, in defense of Wilkes S.G., stated, "We aren't a body that works alone ... we don't exclude anybody." Clearly the evidence doesn't support that statement. Exclusion is defined as the act of being shut out of something. In this case the Student Government is surely shutting out members of the student body. The Student Government still doesn't see this as a problem, though. When asked recently if there is a chance to have the Constitution amended to favor all students instead of those select few who are chosen to run for president, the reply was, "If there is truly a problem, we will discuss it. Then if it is feasible we will discuss a change." Answers like that seem to provide more proof that the much criticized members of Student Government aren't devoted to working for the entire student body. Here's a surprising fact about darts: a bull's-eye isn't always the best score you can get. While playing the most common darts game, "501," darters with a keen eye and a steady hand begin with 501 points and attempt to reduce their score to zero before their opponent. The key is the player must hit the double score ring that reduces your score to exactly zero in order to win. According to the American Darts Organization, over a million Americans play darts regularly and opportunities to compete are increasing. For instance, the Lucky Lights Dart Series is a 26-market US tournament with a total of $500,000 in prize money. •·····································•-■-■• ••• • ••• •• All you brave, experienced •• blood donors!!! •• •• Do you remember being s.ared • when you gave your very first pint of blood? ••• Didn't you wish you had someone there •• •• to hold your hand and calm you down? •• Well, there are a lot of potential donors •• who are scared, and they could •• •• use your support. •• BE A HAND HOLDER •• AT THE NEXT BLOOD DRIVE! •• •• APRIL 27, 1989 •• You can do your good deed for the day, •• and meet lots of people. •• •• TO VOLUN1EER: •_; Call 824-4651 EXT 2962. :••····································•·-■• t, Dr. Ci seth annc asthe Col tor. to his e has con and I fo to move on t er things. andmiss Wi said that hh used by an stigious H, to come abo: nt K.

Bloomsburg Beacon Sports Writer WILKES-BARRE - The legend lives on. Wayne "Chum" Henninger scored 4 7 points, including his 2000th, to lead the Wilkes Colonels (14-0) to a stunning 7771 upset of the top-ranked Georgetown Hoyas last night at the Marts Center. The Colonels' win is already being hailed as the greatest in NCAA basketball history. Scheduled as a Marts Center drawing card and program-enhancing opponent by Colonels head coach Ron Rainey, the Hoyas couldn't have expected much competition from the Division III Colonels. Henninger had different ideas. The 5'10" senior guard, who also chipped in with 22 rebounds, 13 assists and 11 steals for the first "quadruple double" in Wilkes history, negated a 32point performance by Georgetown's All-American center, Alonzo Mourning. The Colonels jumped out to a 16-6 lead, as Henninger converted four three-pointers in the opening six minutes. Mourning scored the game's next 12 points as the Hoyas assumed an 18-12 lead. Henninger's uncanny ability to pick the pocket of opposing point guards showed itself again last night as he gathered five of his steals during the first halfs final ten minutes. His punctuating dunk after a steal at the first half buzzer gave the Colonels a 34-30 lead and sent the overflow crowd of 5,000 into a frenzy. Mourning opened the second half with 8 consecutive points, giving the Hoyas a 38-34 lead. The game swayed back and forth for the remainder of the half until the Hoyas seemingly took control with three minutes remammg, as a Mourning slam gave them a 71-62 lead. What followed was incredible. Henninger scored the contest's final 15 points, beginning with a dunk in the lane over Mourning, who fouled him. After hitting the foul shot, Henninger displayed his awesome defensive talent, pinning a Mourning shot against the backboard and gathering it in. He dribbled downcourt and, despite being guarded by three Hoya defenders, sunk a trey from 30 feet. He hit three more threepointers, the final one from halfcourt, to seal the victory. "I just felt it was time to • take control of the game," Henninger said. "No one has been man enough all season to get in Mourning's face. I wanted to show him that we play serious basketball at the Division III level." Rainey couldn't say enough about Henninger's performance. "Thank goodness for Chum," he said. "He's the best player we've ever had at Will<;es, possibly the best in NCAA history." That's a strong statement from Rainey, but it may be accurate when one considers that Henninger ammassed his point total in just over a season-and-ahalf. (He scored nine points in his freshman year and sixteen during his sophomore campaign.) His accomplishments have not gone unnoticed by the NBA. Said Marty Blake, NBA Scouting Director: "Until now, Mourning was generally considered the top player in the collegiate ranks. But Chum has jumped ahead of him. I've never seen such a combination of leaping ability and shooting touch. He can name his price in the draft." Georgetown head coach John Thompson agrees with the accolades.

"He's the type of player who makes basketball the game it is today." "Chum took it right to me," Mourning said. "He's the toughest I've ever seen, no doubt about it. I don't look forward to facing him in the NBA." Henninger hates to see his Wilkes playing days end. "I've had such a good career," he said. forward to playing like Magic and going to miss Coach Martin, my all the fans who 'Chum Dome."' gion af€ shape ith a l ritual "I'll love you all The Chum. Dave Martin lands top Kentucky job by Martin O'Rourke Beacon Sports Writer WILKES-BARRE The Wilkes basketball program suffered one of its greatest losses in recent history last Saturday. No, the Colonels didn't drop a game to archrival King's or Scranton. No, superstar "Chum" Henninger did not declare hardship. What could be worse than that you ask?

Mylh and religion are closely Myths help shape the reli~providing it with a history, a ahero,just as ritual provides !lid. behavior patterns, and temples and icons provide the places and objects of worship and reverence. But how do we interpret this narrative? What does it contain that we can use? Is it the ultimate word of a supreme being, or is it just the documentation of the way a primor-. dial people viewed reality? Most scholars do not believe that myths are divinely revealed, and to claim, for example, that Adam and Eve are historical fact is to push for an overliteral interpretation. The following is a smorgasbord of some renowned scholars and their theories on myth: Euhemerus, a Greek scholar of the second century, believed that all myths were based on historical fact, or were exaggerated events of real people; Max Muller, a linguist of the 1800s, thought that all myths were the personification of nature; Sir Edward Tylor, an anthropologist of the 1800s, theorized that myths were a result of people's efforts to account for unexplainable happenings in their dreams; Bronislaw Malinowski, an anthropologist of the 1900s, believed that people simply created myths to satisfy the tension that was caused by their not knowing why something happens; and finally, Sir James Frazer, an anthropologist of the 1900s, wrote that myths originated from the natural cycle of birth, growth, decay, death, and rebirth. There are many mythologies which are pertinent to a certain people or to a certain geographic region. Each culture has its own way of explaining the reality before it Myths were these people's way of interpreting and quantifying natural Myth vs. reality Chris Taroli events; they were their particular perceptions of human beings and the cosmic view. It was a way for them to sustain their social and cultural patterns, their moral system, and their history, a way of collectively representing their institutions and values and stabilizing their ideology. More modem interpretations of myth have steered away from the society and concentrated on the individual. Jung proposed that myths represented archetypal images. These archetypes, or "primordial images," were shaped by the repeated experiences of our ancestors, and are made known to us through myths, religion, dreams, and literature. These images contain detail, plot patterns, and characters. These basic patterns and symbols, which are found in the collective, or racial unconscious (we must accept that the unconscious exists or none of this makes any sense), when percieved, evoke emotions, attitudes, and responses. Jung focuses on the commonalities of myth: the gods, the heros, the deeds, the themes. In order to express something objectively, primitive man, since he didn't have the scientific method, would write it down in the form of these symbols and allegory, which apparently come to the conscious level under certain conditions. The archetypes are perceived as something that is "familiar" and yet "strange." Myths employ literary license, not scientific theory. Poetry and fiction require a great deal of imagination - a state of mind which can go beyond this world or things perceived. Myths are patterns in human thought. They express truths about the human condition, about the "phenomenon of man." To understand humans, we must understand their diversity, which can be found in culture, and culture in myth (but not only myth). To recognize the patterns and similarities in the many mythologies is to question just how different we really are. Humans are humans. We're all in the same boat together. Religious pluralism has caused many problems. There are those who can't see the beauty in diversity-people who lack imagination, who can't understand the "why" of culture or culteral differences, who are locked into good and bad and right and wrong. We must have an understanding and control of our animal selves before we can begin to approach, or appreciate, our spiritual selves. By reading myths and the mythmakers we can gain insight into how humans behave, how w'e and others behave, and to gain guidance and counsel in facing up to the trials and tribulations of what it is to be human, which really hasn't changed much (at least our inward life) in the generic sense. To understand life we need experience. One person can only experience a limited amount. But in reading myths and literature we can gain, through the imagination, many wonderful, scary, and bizarre experiences which would otherwise go unknown.

Players who could see time in either the infield or the outfield are junior Lori Trombetta and freshmen Joanne Esposito, Chris Krushinski, Gina Costanzo, Gina Lupina, Michelle DeSantis and Stephanie Rebels. Expectations are high for this year's ball club and the team's quick start has led no one to believe otherwise. The squad began the season in Virginia on March 17 by pounding Hampton College, 164 and 12-0 in a twinbill. In the first game, Rebels went three for four with a double and Hosler banged out two hits. In the nightcap, the Lady Colonels managed only two hits but were the recipient of 12 bases on balls. The game was stopped after the fifth inning because of the ten run rule. Skrepenak got the win in the opener while Bodner re- corded the victory in the second game. The finale in Virginia was against Virginia Union. Bodner got her second straight start and shutout, striking out eight while allowing only one walk. Wilkes suffered its fust defeat of the season against Bloomsburg University on March 22, dropping a 4- 1 decision. The Lady Colonels bounced back on March 28, sweeping their second doub- leheader of the season against Mansfield University. They won the opener, II-6 behind Bodner and the second 9-0, as Skrepenak tossed a no-hit shutout. Wilkes will be traveling to King's today and Juniata on Saturday. They will return home on Monday against Marywood and Tuesday at Scranton.

They will be relieved by junior Todd Werner and sophomore Brian Scherer. Centerfielder Ken Chakon is "the best in the league" according to Bavitz. He will be joined in the outfield by sophomore leftfielder Ed Kwak. Kolbicka will split time in right field with sophomore Mick Melberger. Scherer may also see time in the outfield. "The difference this year will be experience," Evanina said. "'We have a great attitude and great chemistry. "We're very strong. A great thing is that any of our freshmen can step in and play at any time. They have a lot of ability. "We mean business this year. We're out to win. I think we got away from that last year." The Colonels dropped an 8-7 decision at Albright yesterday. Ulicny absorbed the loss in relief. The Colonels opened the season Monday with a doubleheader at Messiah. They split, losing the opener, 4-2 and claiming the nightcap, 4-1. In the loss, Francis walked six and struck out seven Falcons while surrendering eight hits. Messiah jumped to leads of 2-0 and 3-0. Evanina gathered two hits and Koblica one-for the Colonels. Evanina struck out six in the second game as the Colonels' offense provided some tangible results. Salterelli hit a fourth inning RBI sacrifice fly to tie the score at 1-1. In the seventh, Caldwalader hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and Melberger singled to left to drive in two for a 4-1 lead. The Colonels' season was delayed because of the wet weather, with three games being cancelled. Those postponements hampered team preparation, according to Bavitz. "It hurt us because we had to jump right into our league schedule," he said. "We usually like to see what our young guys can do before league action starts. There's a heck of a difference in between hitting in practice and hitting when it counts. "We're in a tough league. Elizabethtown, Susquehanna, Messiah and Juniata are all excellent teams. "I'd really love to see our guys when because they spend so much time preparing." �Golf Softball (cont'd) Baseball (cont'd) NCAA Tourney contest winner NCAA Wrestling Men's Tennis Next Week: Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Win 5 of first 6 Lady Colonels are coasting ·a10 by Ray Ott Beacon Assistant Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE The grass is green, the sun is shining, and spring is in the air. That can mean only one thing: it's time to play ball. Or, in this case, softball. The Wilkes Lady Colonels have kicked off their season in grand fashion, winning five of their first six non-conference games under the direction of first year head coach Vince Trivclpiece and third year assistant Tom Dunsmuir, which has created a grcar deal of optimism. "I think we have a pretty good team," Dunsmuir said. "The team still has a lot of work to do but they should have a good season. If we play well, we have a shot at winning our conference." They are led by four returning starters: slick-fielding second baseman Jill McGuire, catcher Melissa Kennedy, and pitchers Jen Bodnar and Kim Skrepenak. McGuire, a junior, was an all-MAC performer last season. This year, she will be the leadoff hitter and anchor the infield. In two years, McGuire has committed only three errors. Despite getting off to a shaky s~t at the plate this season, McGuire has still managed to score nine runs arid draw four walks, and her speed at the top of the order is very important. The pitching staff, perhaps the team's strongest suit, is anchored by Bodnar, a senior, and Skrepenak, a junior. So far this season, Bodnar has started four games and completed all. She has a 3-1 record and in 23 innings, she has allowed only nine earned runs for a 2.73 ERA. She has also struck out 18 batters. Skrepcnak has started two games and won and completed both. Against Mansfield University, she chalked up a nohitter. In 12 innings pitched, she has allowed on! y two earned runs for a remarkable 1.16 ERA while striking out 18 opponents and yielding only four hits. "Our pitching staff is doing a fine job," Dunsmuir said. '.'Jen Bodnar has good control. She doesn't walk anyone and that is a big plus. Kim Skrepenak has been doing great. Her pitches have a natural rise which really helps her." The key to any successful pitching staff is always a fine catcher. Handling the duties for this year's edition of the Lady Colonels will be senior Melissa Kennedy. "Melissa is really good behind the plate," said Dunsmuir. "She is smart and handles the pitchers really well. She can also throw runners out. It's still early but she is going to have to start hitting if we are going to do anything in our conference." The infield is expected to consist of freshman Denise Carson at first base, McGuire at second, junior Lisa Balestrini at shortstop and sophomore Missy Naholnik will handle the hot comer. "Carson is really good at first. She has a great glove and a g0od arm," said Dunsmuir. "Balcstrini is a transfer from Bloomsburg and one of the best hitters on the team. Naholnik is a converted outfielder and still has a little to learn about Second baseman Jill McGuire leads the 5-1 Lady Co playing third base but should be all right." Roaming the outfield will be freshmen Dawn Hosler and Lorrie Petrulsky. Hosler will be stationed in right while Petrulsky grazes in center. The leftfield job will be shared by pitchers Bodnar and Skrepenak when they are not on the hill. "Petrulsky has and a strong arm. probably throw a plate from center, said. "Hosler is p lently. She has Colonels "out to win" Bavitz fosters a fresh attitu by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - Every successful team needs a catalyst. According to senior shortstop/pitcher Bill Evanina, the Wilkes Colonels (1-2) do have one, although he comes from an unusual spot. "Most teams have a player as a catalyst, but I think Coach (Jerry) Bavitz is ours," Evanina said. "Last year, it was his first season. This time, he's coming in and has a full year of preparation. He's fought adversity and pushed us. He's the difference." Bavitz modestly disagrees. "Baseball is the sport that a coach controls the least," he said. "Basically, it comes down to the kids. This team has worked awful hard. I hope it pays off for them in wins." Evanina and sophomore Scott Francis anchor the starting rotation. The four other starters will be seniors Eric Price, Jamie Brasington and Brian Josefowicz and freshman Jeff Yankow. "We need six starters," Bavitz said. the rainouts, we have 31 games in 38 da The bullpen will be comprised of Chakon and Rob Pietrzyk, and freshmen and Bill Ulicny.

Breiseth said Monday this year's senior class will graduate at Ralston Field in_Kingston. Graduation ceremonies in the Marts Center were nixed, Breiseth said, because of what he called "the sincere concern of the seniors about the availability of space for their families." Last Thursday, more than 150 students gathered outside the president's office at Weckesser Hall to protest the administration's decision to hold graduation in the recently completed Marts Center. "We have decided upon a 'fair weather option,"' said Breiseth, "in which commencement will be held on Ralston Field, if weather and field conditions are favorable." Breiseth said Wilkes is in a wonderful position of having desirable space for graduation both inside and outside. He called the decision the "favorable result for everybody." Student protesters said the outdoor commencement would allow the students to invite an unlimited number of guests. Last year, approximately 5,000 persons attended commencement exercises at Ralston Field. If graduation were held in the Marts Center, which seats 3,285, each student would be limited to six guests inside the gym. Others would watch on closed-circuit television in the gym's auxiliary rooms.

No, it isn't tickets to the Red Barons. It's Trivagory, the new trivia game which has appeared on the shelves of the Wilkes bookstore. The game, invented by John Yuscavage, made its debut just prior to Christmas. Yuscavage, a pharmacist from Mountaintop, attended Wilkes before going to Temple to receive his doctorate in pharmacology. He developed the game 10 years ago, and since then, he has refined and perfected the game. It seems he's succeeded in perfecting it. A panel of 32 people played Trivagory, and 24 of them preferred Trivagory over Trivial Pursuit, seven were undecided or felt it was equal to Trivial Pursuit, and one never played Trivial Pursuit. And it wasn't just the panel who liked the game. Two of the biggest magazines for toy manufacturers featured Trivagory in their new product sections. Both Playthings and The Toy Book, the number one and number three magazines of the toy industry respectively, viewed the game at last February's Toy Fair in New York City, and liked its unique lettered die. This is how the game works: A player rolls both a traditional die, which ttlls the player how many spaces to move, and a lettered die, which ~lls the player which question to answer in the question book. There are two question tracks, each of which has a question book, and 99 . categories, such as Walt Disney films and N .F.L. playernicknames. tThe highest roller chooses which track he or she wants to play. There is a 60-second time limit for answering questions ..This time limit was Seel} as one of the benfits of the game over Trivial Pursuit, therfore limiting the overall game time to slightly more than an hour. In order to win the game, a player must be the first to reach the center of the board and land on one of the four finish spaces. If they answer the question in the category on the finish space, theyt are the winner. So, why should you buy the game? "It's an educational, enjoyable game," says Yuscavage. "When groups get together to play, it is so much fun!" "It's easier than Trivial Pursuit," said Donna Yedlock. Another reason is the Wilkes bookstore is selling the game at a lower price than anywhere in the area. The game retails for $29.95, but the bookstore sells it for $22.95. 1: If your pizza does not arrive in 30 minutes or .less, it is FREE.

For many years, students have let others decide what direction policies directly affecting them would take. OPINION - - by Tom Obrzut President Breiseth Student activism, a long lost art from the late 1960s, made its return to the Wilkes College campus last week in a big way. Last Thursday's protest attracted more than 150 students who disagreed with the administration's decision to move this year's graduation exercises to the $6.5 million Arnaud C. Marts Center. Their collective voice was heard by the administration and, as of last Monday, graduation will be The collective student voice was a powerful and very important aspect of college life in the late 60s and early 70s, but since then it's been reduced to an occasional whimper. In years gone by, students protested the Vietnam War, politics, and just about anything else they felt was worth a protest. What you saw on campus last week was a revival and renewal of the collective voice of Wilkes' students. They responded to a situation they felt was wrong and in the end a compromise, acceptable to both the students and administration, was reached. It's nice to see when Wilkes students have an opinion they can express it in a peaceful way and get results. President Breiseth said the compromise will serve the best interests of the College. And it will. ,------------------T-h--·e=- Beacon I -. 1 I I Serving Wilkes College since 1947 VOL.

If we have safe, pleasant weather, the ceremony will be on Ralston Field. If field conditions are unfavorable or the weather forecast for May 27 is for extreme temperatures or rain, we will hold the ceremony indoors. The College will prepare for both alternatives and graduates will be sent a memorandum outlining the ticket distribution system for the Marts Center. At present, it appears that there will be six tickets per graduate for the space inside of the gymnasium itself. We will continue under this plan to set up auxiliary seating in other rooms of the Marts Center where a closed circuit broadcast of the ceremony will be available. A major factorin the timing of the decision will be the need to give sufficient notice both for those setting up the event and those attending to know where it will be held. I am confident that with this decision the Senior Class officers and our staff will cooperate fully in preparing for one of the most pleasant Commencement ceremonies ever held at Wilkes. I also look forward to working with officers of the present Junior Class on their Commencement for 1990. We will seek their involvement in the arrangement for this year's graduation events so that they will be well-informed on the complex set of issues attending the planning of Commcncement every year. A RESPECTable decision by Wilkes R-E-S-P-E-C-T This seven letter word (and the concept it represents) has gained a great deal of meaning and credence on the campus of Wilkes College in the last two weeks. Granted, the word was dragged through, the mud in that same two week period. But, in the long run, its rebirth as a "good" word has brought about a happy air at Wilkes. President Breiseth can be proud of the respect that he gained from the student body when he decided to listen to the student voice. He deserves the respect that people are showing him. The president made a difficult decision by going against a public stand that he had made less than a week earlier. He may have ruffled a few feathers in the "pecking order" (outlined last week), but apparently that means very little. It would seem that the positives of his decision outweighed Dr. ChristopherN. Breiseth any negative response he could have received. The student protesters who let their voices be heard can be Wilkes President proud of the respect that the administration showed them in dealing with this issue.

' �April 13, 1989 PAGE SIX Ge(fen Recording Stars at the Kirby The New Bohemians Rock the Kirb by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor Maybe Edie Brickell and New Bohemiansaren'tawareoftoomany things but, after last Saturday's performance at the Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, we can be aware of a lot of things. For one, Brickell and Bohemians - soon to go back to the original "New Bohemians" sans the name of the lead singer who wants the focus to go to the whole band-aren't just a passing fancy. They are for real. Also, it is apparent that they have a well defined yet very diverse audience. Saturday's audience ranged from high school students to "older" fans. Whatever the demographics of the fans, they all were treated to a show, that, for lack of a better word, was refreshing. No musicians running up and down the stage screaming. No big egos. Just good music. A little bitoftalkin' and a whole lot of rockin'. Veteran rocker Steve Forbert opened for the band and lit a small fire under the audience, with his folksy style and his acoustic guitar and harmonica. Many of the older fans remembered the journeyman and even requested some of his older hits. Although he didn't have the requested songs in his repertoire for the night, he did soothe his fans by touching the past with his old hit, "Romeo's Tune." After a fifteen minute intermission to set up the stage for the featured act, the lights went down and the room filled with "Linus and Lucy" (The Charie Brown theme). The band strolled onstage to this unusual choice of intro music and the crowd went nuts when they recognized the long-haired silhouette of Brickell. Brickell, who seemed a little shy about the attention she was receiving, jumped right into her first song, "She." With the first strum of a guitar, the crowd floated forward as if the . stage were one giant magnet. They were attracted by themusicianshipof New Bohemians and the voice of Brickell. The band played all of the songs that appeared on their hit album, "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars," with the exception of the tunes "Now" and a special bonus song that appeared on the CD, "I Do." Included in the set were five songs that will appear on the next, as of yet unnamed, album - "Mama," "Black and Blue," "I'm Lost," "Times Like These" (a beautiful ballad about love and rainstorms), and "Gave Up" as well as, the band's two hits "What I Am" and "Circle." The talent and the diversity that has prompted many music experts to call her the next great songwriter showed in her performance and especially her lyrics. Lyrics like those in the song • "Little Miss S." that "kinda deals with famous dead people, but, if you really think about it, they're not really dead," Brickell said in her shy Texas accent. The title character starts out the song "Shooting up junk in the bath- THE STARS ARE Ki room ... " and ends up "Living it up to die in the blink of the public eye." Her stage show, at times, was well coordinated with the lyrics in some of the songs. A case in point was "Air of December." When she sang "And you sent a chill across my face, like the air of December,/ swear /remember it that way," asmokywindsweptacrossthe stage while slides of a snow covered tree played across the back of the stage. . The musicians, Kenny Winthrow on lead guitar, Wes Martin, also on guitar, Brad Houser on bass, John Bush on percussion, and Chris Whitton on drums, created the perfect blend for Brickell's words. They all were given time to showcase their talents and, like the prelude to the song "Keep Coming Back," when the drummer and the percussionist got involved in a "power duo," they sometimes got carried away. No one complained, though. Overall, it was a magnificent show, from Forbert's first note to the last note of the encore of the Bohemians' set. Look for these Bohemians to ride this rubberband "ride, even beyond the stars. , Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians performed to satisfaction or the audience at the F.M.

His parents sent out a birth announcement depicting a small baby blasting off from a smaller earth, inscribed: 'JUST LAUNCHED, James Edward Landry, Jr., 5 lbs., 2 scrawny ounces."' Landry has already performed at Wilkes twice, and both times he received rave reviews. According to Beacon editor, Lee Morrell, "He's very talented, but the thing that attracted me most to him was his sense of humor." With early music influences that include Peter, Paul, and Mary; Bob Dylan; James Taylor; and Dan Fogelberg, Landry has a show that shouldn't be missed. In his last visit to Wilkes, Landry's show included both original pieces and old favorites from artists such as Eric Clapton, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, and Billy Joel. His style has been described as sounding very much like Cat Stevens. Landry will be performing in Stark Lobby on Tuesday, April 18, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. So for an exciting and funny way to spend your Tuesday, come by Stark Lobby and catch the Jimmy Landry show.

And the Oscar goes to .... " Well you guessed it. I saw the Academy Awards last week. I was probably not alone; I am sure that many of you plunked yourselves down in front of the old T. V. set and glued your eyes to the screen and labored for hours and hours, watching countless awards being given out for categories nobody but the winners. and their immediate family really gives a flying cow cake for. All of this effort is for one reason: to see who will win the real Oscars - the ones for "Best Actor," "Best Actress," maybe even for "Best Supporting Actor or Actress." But most of all, we wait around for the big one: yes, "Best Picture." I have been watching the Oscars - don't ask me why- consistently for the last 5 years, and every year I have seen who wins "Best Short Animated Documentary," "Best Cinematography," "Best Foreign, Not So Short, But Long Enough, Non-Animated, Educational, Somewhat Full-Length, Documentary for Television," plus a virtual plethora ofothers that I barely could keep my eyes open for. I have never, in all of the 5 years that I have watched the Academy Awards, seen who has won "Best Picture." I always gave up and went to bed before then and found out who won the next day on the news. Yet, being the true blue and gold blooded Wilkes College bovine-loving and dedicated bull that I am, I was really only interested in finding out if anyone from Wilkes College won an Oscar in any of the categories our fine young and old producers/film makers/directors have made over the last year. Surprisingly, I did not see any of these this year; I must have slept though them, so they must have been important. . Just in case anyone else missed them, I have comprised a list of all the movies by Wilkes College Studios that were nominated for Academy Awards this year: Nominated for "Best Movie Invoiving Tall Structures" was THE BELL TOWERING INFERNO!!! Yes, see every mem berof the Wilkes College campus scream in horror as the gigantic speakers in our fine, and very tall, monument become ablaze. Hold on to your hats as members of our administration make daring attempts to extinguish the flames. Nominated for "Most Vindictive and Unfair Documentary Cartoon" this year was WHO FRAMED ROGER CROOP. Yes, poor Roger Croop, the wascally but wovecl wabbit, loses his job at Toon College because the Wicked Queen (from Sleeping Beauty) did not get her trip to Toon Town. Nominated for "Best Silly Thing the English Department Ever Did" was one of my personal favorites, PRIVATE BENJAMIN. This movie was great. Ben Fiester from the English Department joins the U.S. Army and becomes a member of the Grammar Beret. He has one mission: to parachute, all alone, deep into the heart of Nanticoke. Armed only with a red marking pen, he begins to clean up all grammar usage. "Hainah or no?" "Good God, Sir! Make my day." Forget about Rambo, this was much better. · Nominated for "Film Showing Best Turning of Opinion" . was STUDENTS OF A LESSER GOD.

Through all of the good and bad times, it was the music that brought us together and sometimes tore us apart. The political turmoil, the social upheaval, the Hippie Movement, the Vietnam War and the Generation Gap were all reflected in the popular music of the day. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding and yes, even The Monkees, were the sounds filling the airwaves throughout those turbulent years.

That award was a little less Beacon Sports Editor Jodi Kest was named MAC Coach of the Year. WILKES-BARRE - There is peer pressure and peer praise. The latter is a bit more desirable and Jodi Kest was the recipient of it when she was voted MAC Coach of the Year recently. Kest, in her third year as head coach, guided the Lady Colonels to 16-10 record and berths in the MAC playoffs and the ECAC Tournament. The award pleased her, but she was more concerned with one that wasn't given. 'Tm not happy that Nicole Kovaleski didn't make the all-star team," Kest said. ''I'd give this award up in a minute for her to be honored. As a coach, all we can do is recruit players. We don't know if they're going to fulfill their potential and do what you want them to do." Kest has a personal theory as to why Kovaleski wasn't selected. "I guess when you have a good team and a bunch of good players, individuals don't get noticed." "They are picking from a limited area,' "I couldn't believe that I got it from the thought it was a joke. It is a real nice h it's chosen by the other coaches. I didn\ myself.

Miller provided all the offense necessary in this one, going three for three with two RBIs and a run scored. "Our pitching has really been big for us," Dunsmuir said. "Jen and Kim are doing a excellent job and the defense has been really good behind them. Balestrini had 16 chances at shortstop in the doubleheader and made only one error. She made some really tough plays." The Lady Colonels returned home for two more twinbills this week in Kirby Park, taking on Marywood on Monday and Scranton on Tuesday. The opener against Marywood was a basic pitcher's duel, with Bodnar on the hill flinging a shutout for the Lady Colonels. She went seven innings, allowing a hit for each frame and raising her record to 51. Meanwhile, the Lady Colonels were being held to only four hits, but Skrepenak came through with a triple and a single to lead the squad in the 40 win. With the score tied at 6-6 in 1J1e eighth inning, McGuire started a rally with a single. Freshman centerfielder Lorrie Petrulsky sacrificed, moving McGuire into scoring position. Kennedy then delivered the gamewinning single. The Lady Colonels trailed, 62, in the bottom of the fifth. Freshman Michele DeSantis Jed off with an infield single and Bodnar pinch ran for her, moving to second on a passed ball. McGuire singled and was followed by Petrulsky, who also singled, to make it a 6-3 contest. Kennedy grounded into a fielder's choice, which forced McGuire at third, and left Wilkes with Petrulsky at second and Kennedy at first. Balestrini singled, knocking them both in and reducing the deficit to 6-5. Skrepenak then singled, driving in Balestrini and tying the game at 6-6. Tuesday's doubleheader against Scranton displayed no signs of the Lady Colonels cooling down as they swept the Royals, 4-1 in the opener and 7-1 in the second game.

But titles virtually belittle labor of one of the pillars of what has become today's College.

He also coached baseball from 1948-50. collective career log is 148-175-4, but the absence of a · g label on paper means nothing when one considers sweat and care that established an athletic program where existed. A native of Virginia, Ralston moved north to 'sburg, PA with his dairy farming family while in high I. He earned an athletic scholarship to the University orth Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he played football ooseball. 'I thought I had a future in professional baseball," he "My real objective was to be a medical doctor, but at time, I didn't have any money. Those were the years to World War II. They were depression years and ·cs was what put me through school." Afriend in Ralston's graduating class from Wyoming, suggested he come north and pursue a coaching job. For lack of better options, that was the course of action 'I got a job coaching in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, then I went into the Army for five years," he said. "When I came back, I still intended to go to medical school. · "But Dr. Eugene Farley called and needed someone to counsel the veterans that were coming to Wilkes. I took the job. Dr. Farley mentioned that some of the boys wanted to start a football team. I said I would be interested. "Then he said he needed a dean. I took that on and I never left. I joined up because there was a big job to do. A few of us grew up with this institution. Not many of us are still around." Ralston designed the plans for the original gymnasium that was tom down last year to yield the land to the Marts Center. The demolition evoked mixed feelings in his soul. "That (the old gym) was the firsffree-standing building constructed by Wilkes," he said. "It rendered great service and we were glad to have it. It cost $250,000 to build. One of the first events of magnitude that we had in there was an exhibition by the Olympic wrestling team. We had a parade through the streets of Wilkes-Barre and really packed the place. "But the Marts Center is a great facility. We look forward to it serving the college as well as the old gym did, even better." What are some of the memories etched in Ralston's mind? "There are so many events. They are innumerable. I couldn't mention just one," he said. Then a reminiscing twinkle lit his eyes. "I've always been partial to the 1949 football team. They were great people. I think that's the best team we've ever had. They weren't worldbeaters, but they were probably the most colorful bunch. Their average age was about 23, being mostly World War II veterans." But it was members of his 1947 team that carried the commemorative sign that bore his name when Wilkes dedicated Ralston Field on Saturday, November 6, 1966, a day when words were hard to come by for the honoree. school's greater scheme of things. He does so with extreme conviction. "An integral part of our educational endeavor is that sports is a part of the whole," he said. "Sports is a great laboratory for students if conducted right. In the rapid give and take of an athletic contest, an athlete virtually -loses himself and becomes himself. It's a real maturing factor in the education of a young person. Il's a great lesson." He paused to quell his emotional whirlwind then continued. • "I call it friendship through contest. I think that's the truth about an athletic program. For people, students or otherwise, young or old, play is a part of their life. We try to have students adhere not just to the letter, but to the spirit of the rules. "I wish students would live their days so that they're going to have good memories. If you don't participate, you won't have any." Time to 'fess up, Dean Ralston. What about the bike? "I've been riding a bicycle since 1958," he chuckled. "The first one was my son's. I took his when he got a new one. The second one was given to me by the students in the 1960s at Christmas. I drove that one until the flood. The students gave me another, and the one I'm riding now was given to me by my sons." Ralston sees his days at Wilkes ending soon. "I really retired two years ago," he said. 'Tm kind of free-lancing now. I'm getting too old to be in touch. I feel kind of self-conscious. There are some things I want to do for myself. My wife has been a slave to me and this institution all these years." He looked away and smiled. "These great years." When Ralston does vacate campus, an era will be over. And the blue bicycle - and its pilot - will be greatly missed. "I was humbled by it," Ralston said. "When I saw my old players carrying the sign, it was a great feeling. I had a hard time talking." The news of the impending dedication reached him in a strange fashion a year earlier. "I was shaving one morning when my son brought the paper and showed me," he said. "I was surprised indeed." As a founding father of Colonels sports, Ralston is as qualified as any to define the mission of athletics in the Dean George Ralston, founding father of Wilkes sports. photo by Donna Yedlock etmen still thirsting for elusive initial victory Ray Ott onAssistant Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - I to 10-3 hot golfe last Th urs , posting :ch victo The Wilkes men's tennis team to be likened to a man suffering from lack of water in a rt.
