That victory set the stage for Sunday's match-up with Frostburg St., a team with a 14-5 record who had just beaten Gettysburg 4-1 in the other E.C.A.C. semi-final. The game was played before the vocal home crowd which had helped the Colonels throughout the year. "This year the student and parent support was great. It seemed like our fans would start cheering at the opening whistle and wouldn't stop for ninety minutes," said head coach Ph:! Wingert. In the opening minutes of the title game, the Colonels let the Bobcats play a ball control game. But, as time went on, Wilkes began stringing passes together and started many dangerous attacks at the goal.

The event is the end result of months of coordination and planning by the Career Services Office. Since the ultimate goal of the event is to help students obtain job placement, it is difficult to determine its success until after graduation, through exit surveys and jnterviews, . Career Day is part of a continuing process which includes interviewing workshops, resume development, and informative video presentations. According to Director of Career Services Gene Domzalski, "Today's economic conditions can make finding a job more difficult. Career Services exists to increase a student's chance of placement in his field." Through the Career Services office, a student is able to research prospective employers and possibly even set up a preliminary interview. Preparation on the part of the student is neccessary, however, to foster a healthy development of the job search. According to Domzalski, "Self assessment is the key to obtaining a successful career. Through a pa,rtnership with Career Services, the student can prepare himself for the employment process." Career Services has proven to be a success, as evidenced through alumni surveys. "Over the past five years, approximately 90 percent of Wilkes students have gained full-time employment or have attended graduate school after leaving Wilkes," said Domzalski. �Nov. 8, 1990 PAGE2 ACP conference featured speaker u Publisher speculates future of newspa By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Copy Editor WASHINGTON, D.C.- USA Today Publisher Cathleen Black told an audience of prospective journalists that, despite the discouraging outlook of critics, there is a bright future for the newspaper industry. Beacon staff members were among approximately two thousand collegiate journalists in attendance at this past weekend's Associated College Press and College Media Advisors' convention in the nation's capital. Speaking to an audience of approximately two hundred, Black said, "In regard to the future of newspapers ... there will be one." Black opened her speech with a brief history of USA Today, demonstrating that the publication has surpassed the less than optimistic expectations of its critics. In response to critics who painted a dim picture of the future of USA Today, Black recited Mark Twain's expression: '"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."' According to Black, Critics predicted the "death" of USA Today since its inception in 1982. The paper was criticized for it's flashy design and content which includes the use of color on a regular basis. Many critics also disapproved of its upbeat approach to the news, and USA Today earned the nickname "McPaper." USA Today has since gone on to prove its critics "dead" wrong, Black said. The publication has been the number one daily in the U.S. for six years, and its circulation includes 1.8 million copies each day, Monday through Thursday, and 2 million copies on Friday for the paper's weekend edition. The paper's success is based upon its appeal to the younger generation, and its special concentration on the needs of the reader, according to Black. "USA Today presents news and information in such a way as to appeal to the many people and faces of the USA. We're what's known as a 'reader friendly newspaper,"' she said. Black then went on to indicate that the success of a publication like USA Today proves there is a bright future for the newspaper industry in general. Black stated that advances in editorial diversity, technology, ownership, global influence, and increased public accountability will catapult D.C.- Capitol provided backdrop for convention the newspaper industry into the future.

This new addition to Wilkes' academic agenda will allow students to gain insight into the important roles of women in society. Beginning in the spring, Women's Studies will be offered as an interdisciplinary minor requiring 18 credit hours. This new minor adds an important dimension to any major with its unique perspective. It gives students an idea of how women's contributions have changed and are still changing various academic, scientific, business, and professional fields. While emphasizing the experiences and contributions of women throughout time, Women's Studies also recognizes gender as a factor which has shaped intellectual traditions, political issues, and social changes.

Studds reacted by saying, "I cannot help but wonder how many more Defense Department studies of this nature await our discovery." Studds stated that the Pentagon's report, combined with the lobbying of anti-discrimination groups in Washington, could cause Congress to reexamine military policies which govern the recruitment and retention of gays and lesbians. Although these winds of change are taking place across the country, there are still some stories of harassment of homosexuals, particularly lesbian women in the Navy. The aforementioned report states that, "with the influx of women on our ships and throughout the Navy in general, it is necessary to address the sensitive issue of female homosexuality and ensure equal treatment of male and female homosexuals. The Sappho's Isle, a newspaper written for lesbian women, stated that it is three times more likely for a lesbian woman to be discharged from the service than a gay male. Despite this, the report continues to say, "There is a perception by many that female homosexuality is somewhat tolerated, while male homosexuality is dealt with swiftly and sternly." · National Organization for Women (NOW) President Molly Yard called the memo, "a clear example of the military's homophobic, sexist bigotry. Clearly, elements in the military still chafe at the success of women in its ranks," she said. The report also stated that homosexual women were willing to put in longer hours, and were hard working and career oriented. The Navy contends, however, that homosexual women could be intimidating to "the young, often vulnerable" female sailors. As a result of a protest of gay, lesbian, and bisexual veterans in Washington D.C. earlier this year, an agenda was formed to discontinue ROTC programs on the nation's colleges and universities. This project has already met with some success, and several campuses have shut down their ROTC programs this year. Miriam hen-Shalom, chairman of the organization, stated that the project is "the most important thing happening on this issue today." Religion in public schools ,ers must ments.

It will tell them that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving to thank God for their blessings. That unsurprising fact is just the sort of thing that's been missing from the nation's public school classrooms for almost a generation. Teachers, administrators and publishers have shied away from any mention of religion or God - what some educators call "the G-word." But all of that is changing. Educators say there's still a long way to go, but schools all across the country are putting information about religion - not religious devotion - back into the public schools. end of mo ~ni versi ties I~ has initi ~~am.

Boyer says the silence stemmed from confusion about what should be taught and "a genuine concern that to discuss religion in the classroom might be viewed as indoctrination, or a violation of the fundamental principles of the Constitution. "The problem," Boyer says, "is that this silence has led many to conclude that public schools are, at the very least, indifferent to religion or, at the very most, actively opposed." dor. nts may c dinating !>n.

The educational reform movement of the 1980s sparked interest in teaching about religion. Critics ranging from conservatives such as then-Secretary of Education William Bennett to liberals, such as the organization People for the American Way, agreed textbooks ignored religion. 'The most significant state development so far" in teaching religion in public schools is a new curriculum framework adopted in California in 1987, says Diane Berreth, deputy director, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development in Alexandria, Va. Charlo.tte Crabtree, a UCLA education professor and director of the National Institute for History in the Schools, says California schools now must teach about subjects such as the history of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism; the influence of Puritanism on colonial America; and the role of the churches in the 1960s civil rights movement. Despite such initiatives, the lack of training for teachers to teach about religion is a major problem, according to Charles Haynes, executive director of the new First Liberty Institute. The institute will train teachers and instruct others in training teachers at the local level. Stewart Dopp, an English teacher at Edison High School in Fairfax County, uses the Bible in literature classes to teach literary forms, themes and illusions. "I've had students who have initially expressed concern," Dopp says, "but they were fine once they real ized nothing was going to be imposed on them." ■ Thursday Scholarship Donors Luncheon, Marts Cente r Sophomore Reg ist ration M-R - 8:30 a.m. - noon S-Z - 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. BACCHUS Meeting , 11 a.m. WUPB Meeting , 11:30 a.m. WCLH Staff Meeting , 11 :15 a.m. �Nov. 8, 1990 PAGE4 Behave like a gentle_ma By KRIST A RAMSEY Apple College Information Network Until this fall, Wabash College, an 158-year-old, all-male institution in Crawfordsville, Ind. had one rule of behavior - a single entry in · ' f d t Its c00e o con uc . Be have as a gen tleman. That was it. No extra chatter about scuffles or curfews. True gentlemanly behavior, college administrators assumed, made anything else redundant. This year, however, the federal government has forced colleges receiving federal grants to spell out sanctions on alcohol and drug use. It is the only addendum to the school's code of conduct. Still, the students politely resented it. For more than 150 years, Wabash men had been trusted to make their own decisions on social and moral dilemmas. Who was the federal government to decide differently now? Recently, I traveled the 150 miles to Crawfordsville to talk with Wabash men about the Gentleman's Rule, as it is traditionally known. I was fascinated that, in an age laden with laws and litigation, a college would dare set such vague behavioral expectations. Nowhere, for example, does the conduct code spell out what a gentleman is. Instead, in his four years at Wabash, a young man is expected to struggle with that definition, decide the matter for himself, then live up to his own expectations. Not one of the young men I talked to maintained it was easy. In fact, while the word gentleman seems charmingly archaic to most of us, it has the power to make a Wabash man flinch. The word has forced him to examine human behavior, then to h h h. lf raise a moral yardstick and see ow e Imse measures up to it. Some stud~nts I talked to defined the term, first, illllllillllil in terms of etiquette opening doors for women, giving up seats, avoiding fisticuffs. Like Kevin Costner in Bull Durham, senior Rich Calacci teased, "A gentleman? Someone who loves baseball, reads Shakespeare and stands up for an introduction." But I dug a little deeper and more sincere definitions surfaced, intense and strongly held. For junior Keith Veal, it meant challenging the least display of racism; for senior Tim Oliver, living out The Beacon The Registered Nurse Scholarship Loan Program at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Wl-tke.& (J,u,a,e,r&U~' & We,ek,t~ VOL. 43 NO. 7 NOVEMBER 8, 1990 Rated os a First Cla.ss newspainr with one mark. of distinction by th, Associal,d CoU.gial, Press 1990-91 EDITORIAL STAFF JOHN T.

For the better part of three months, these troops have been on guard standing up to dictator Saddam Hussein and ready to defend against an attack. With the holidays rapidly approaching, the situation remains at a stalemate in the Gulf, and there is little hope that our tr?ops wi!l ~e home in time for the Christmas holidays, even 1f there 1sn t war. The troops have been in the Persian 9u1f area si~ce A~gust and have been living three long months in the Saudi Arabian heat, with the endless sight of sand and t~oug_hts of their homes and loved ones. In this depressing situation, a letter from home is one of the things a serviceman most looks forward to. Although letters are getting to the troops, despite all of the censors at the Saudi border, the news corning out of the States hasn't. been very good lately. The once valiant backing by the Am~ncan pubhc for the troops has deteriorated into opposition against the government in regard to U.S. policy in the Gulf. As a result, the troops can feel only the hatred and resentment ot: protest instead of love and caring. These feelings, mixed with thoughts of not being with their families for the Christmas holidays, are the perfect recipe for an all-time low morale. There is something we as Americans can do to alleviate some of the troubles of our servicemen. We can send the troops who are defending our freedom greetings of Christmas cheer. All that is asked of you is one letter, one Christmas card, or even one dollar to make a so1dier's Christmas a littie more bearable. .

One seat in a small home in Dallas, PA, will be empty this Christmas- the seat usually occupied by A VCM Lou Raddle. Try to imagine a desert with 105-degree temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures at night. This is not an ideal Christmas scenario. There are, however, people in the community who are doing their best to erase the unpleasantness of this Christmas for our soldiers in the Persian Gulf. Boscov's Department Store, Wilkes-B,;me, has generously donated many Christmas items, ranging from trees and decorations to candy canes and other stocking-stuffers, to our troops in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Boscov's co-workers have united in a special effort of their own. Each Boscov's employee involved "adopts" a serviceman and sends him or her a Christmas stocking stuffed with various novelty items. "Many of our employees have family members who are serving our country in the Gulf," said Matthew Hanlon, a Wilkes student employed by the Boscov's Public Relations Department.

Concerts will be presented on Friday, November 16 at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre and Saturday, November 17 at the Masonic Temple in Scranton. Both performances begin at 8 p.m. Stargell will be featured as the narrator of Copland's A Lincoln Portrait , a work which presents a dramatic musical setting of some of the most stirring speeches by one of America's greatest presidents. Willie Stargell is best known as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 1971 and 1979 World Series Championship teams, but his reputation as a speaker has grqwn rapidly since his retirement from baseball. His symphonic credits include repeat engagements with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic and Syracuse Symphony as well as performances at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In addition, he often lectures at colleges and universities. In 1982, he recorded A Lincoln Portrait and Joseph Schwantner's New Morning for the World with the Eastman Philharmonia. In honor of Copland's 90th birthday on November 14, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic will also present two other works by America's greatest living composer. Fanfare for the Common Man will open the program. This is probably Copland's most recognizable work due to its use at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. Copland's Symphony No. 3 which features the music from the Fanfare to the Common Man in the final movement will conclude the concert. Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings will follow the Fanfare. This work is also well recognized due to its use as the powerful soundtrack in two popular films of the 1980's, Platoon and Elephant Man .. It was also the music used at the funeral of Princess Grace. John Philip Sousa's Semper Fide/is and Charles Ives' Decoration Day will complete the program. The Ives composition is a musical depiction of Memorial Day festivities in a small New England town. This piece contains familiar hymn tunes and 19th century songs including "Taps" and "O Come All Ye Faithful." It is most appropriate that this piece is programmed on the concert as it was a favorite of Aaron Copland. Tickets for this performance range from $11 to $24 and can be purchased by calling the Philharmonic at 287-1916 or 342-0920. Students receive a 50% discount on all tickets. In addition, anyone purchasing tickets with cash between 6 and 7 p.m. on the evening of the performance will receive a 50% discount on best available seats.

Sure he had a strong nucleus of returning players and a promising group of youngsters. But there were still many problems to worry about. With all of the returning talent, would there be enough balls to go around? What if somebody got hurt, or more specifically, would goalie Kevin Tronkowski's bionic knees hold up? And then there was that road trip to Virginia again. The one that resulted in two early season losses last season. But this season was different. This year's edition of the Colonels soccer squad featured no ball-guzzling or glory-seeking players. This year's squad moved the ball with all the precision of a brain surgeon. A school record for most goals in a season was no coincidence. Kevin Tronkowski's bionic knees made it through his senior season. Tronkowski and his defensive cohorts always ensured the Colonels of being in every ball game. And that trip down to Thomas Jefferson country? This year's squad came back with an important split. Yes, Virginia, this season was destined to be a special one from the start. Wingert's guarded optimism was transformed into absolute joy Sunday afternoon as the final horn sounded and the Colonels had defeated a pesky Frostburg St. team by a 2-0 margin. "Coming into the season I was cautiously optimistic because we had a lot of upperclassmen returning," said Wingert. "We knew we were coming off a decent record last year, and we had a chance to do the same this year if we played to our potential. We had a pretty tough schedule because we thought we could handle it, at least we were hoping we could do well. The early season trip to Virginia turned out to be a good indicator for the entire season. After dropping a 2-1 decision to Christopher Newport, the Colonels bounced back with a 3-2 win over Randolph-Macon. The Colonels then returned East and crushed Baptist Bible 8-1. But they knew the real test would be in the next two games. The big boys were on deck. Scranton and Messiah. "Even though we lost both gomes, we thought we had played well," said Wingert. "Our record was 2-3 at the time, but we realized how well we played and it was at this point that we realized we would have a good season." Wingert must have been looking into his crystal ball because the booters proceeded to reel off eight straight victories. S uddenly people were whispering M.A.C. championship. The whispering turned into screams on October 16th when the Drew Rangers rolled into Ralston Field to waltz with the Colonels. In the end, it was Wilkes who left the dance unhappy, as Drew prevailed 1-0. "We had a chance to tie for the M.A.C. championship with a win in this ballgame," said Wingert. "We were well prepared, but we still got shutout." Unfortunately for the Colonels, the loss would be a costly one. With NCAA tournament bids right around the comer, Wingert's troops were a definite longshot. "We knew the NCAA would take four teams from Pennsylvania and they would be choosing from a pool of eight," said Wingert. The Colonels turned out to be one of the eight in contention, but not one of the four chosen by the NCAA selection committee. "Three of the eight teams in contention had beaten us already, and the selection committee really looks at scores for comparison," said Wingert. "This was the first year Wilkes was ever considered for a bid, so that might have been held against us a little also." So it was off to the E.C.A.C tournament for the second straight season. "The E.C.A.C. tournament is the next best thing, sort of like the NIT tournament in basketball," said Wingert. "The bid really generates excitement among the players and gains recognition for the program and the University. For the second straight season, Wilkes would face the Greyhounds from Moravian in the tournament opener. The Colonels already owned a regular season victory over the Greyhounds. More of a reason for Wingert to be guardedly optimistic. "I didn't know if we could beat them twice in a year," said Wingert. "But we were a mature team and they were a young one. Our guys came in confident, and I don't think their guys were sure they could stay with us." The Greyhounds' worst fears became rcali~ scorer Paul Jell en knocked home his 14th goal of to give Wilkes a 1-0 halftime lead. But the young Moravian unit would ans early in the second half, knotting the score al one. It was time for a gut check. The Colonels passed. Senior captain Mike Lenczycki scored biggest goal of his career with eight minutes giving the Colonels a 2-1 victory and a championship game against Frostburg St. "This was a very physical game," said· Rainey. "Last year they beat us twice and thisy to them. The difference in this ball game was we on our offensive chances." Frostburg St. was next. The one learn chance to put a damper on a story-book season. "We knew nothing about them," said Win they had beaten Gettysburg to advance, and I h who coaches them and he gave us a little scouting This one was tight all the way. Wilkes drew when junior halfback Steve Moloney took a Le and converted it for a 1-0 lead. "Mike hit a good corner pass and I outran said Moloney. "I went along the baseline and the near post. Little did anyone know, that would be all would need. Wingert probably knew, but he was to optimistic to say anything. So Lenczycki came through again, putting the cake with three minutes remaining. "It was just a great feeling," said Wingert first soccer championship ever." Wingert has his group of seniors to th Tronkowski, Lenczycki, sweeper Craig Larimer, Doug Albertson, midfielder Chris Schenefiel~ Horbacz will all be deeply missed next year. "Our seniors were a real key force for us said Wingert. "They were mature and were lead real good job helping the younger players." Despite these losses, Wingert's cup board be bare. He returns midfielders Rainey and Phil with Jellon and Moloney offensively. The de£ anchored by Brian Loy. So is Wingert going to make a prediction fll You can be guardedly optimistic againslit Soccer team ·emerges Champs Continued from page 1 ten minutes to go in the second half. Moloney beat a defender on the right side of the goal and then blasted a shot off the goalie which ricocheted into the net. In the second half, the defense took over and stymied the Bobcats' offense. Kevin Tronkowski got the shutout for the Colonels, and he was assisted by defenders Brian Loy, Craig Larimer, Doug Albertson, and Chris Dahm. The Colonels also added an insurance goal with three minutes left in the game as Lenczycki fired a thirty-yard volley past the Bobcats' goalie. Then the celebration began. Wilkes coach Phil Wingert was pleased with his veteran team. "It was a great way to end a great season. This year's six seniors seemed destined to have an outstanding year and they did," Wingert said. Now, when the Colonels look back on their 1990 campaign, they can lay claim to something not many teams in the country can say at the season's conclusion.

WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University will be host to over 500 visitors this Saturday as high school ·students and their parents attend the Department of Admissions' annual open house. Marc Davis, Dean of Admissions, believes this brief separation will be beneficial to the students. "We feel it's important that the students have time without their parents to talk with faculty about their major," he said. The guests will be greeted in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center by President Breiseth and Dr. George Waldner, Dean of Academic Affairs. After a short presentation, the students will be introduced to faculty in the Stark Leaming Center, while their parents attend a seminar present~d by Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Tours of the campus will be offered after the students and their parents meet together in Stark. "We would like to stress to the students that Wilkes is a comprehensive institution in the variety of majors it offers, yet is small enough in that it has quality," said Helen Barrett, Assistant Dean of Admissions. Residence Life, Financial Aid and Career Services will present workshops so that the students can gain a broader perspective of the student services offered at Wilkes. Wilkes students will be on hand to answer questions or to talk about campus and academic life. In this way, the high school students will be able to "view Wilkes through the eyes of its students," said Eleanor Rydzetski, office manager at Admissions. The day will close with a lecture held in the Darte Center concerning financial aid and admissions policy. Marc Davis and the admissions staff will be available afterwards to respond to questions or concerns of the families. �Nov. 15, 1990 PAGE2 Faculty discusses animal rig - By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor l'bolo by Vauetu, Sblnkus Linda Paul speaks to faculty members WCLHstaff visits NYC By MARY JO RUBINO Special to the Beacon WILKES-BARRE- Recently, members of the WCLH executive staff attended the College Music Journal Convention at the World Trade Center in New York City. The College Music Journal is a trade magazine for college radio which holds a convention each year. The students were able to sit in on .panels concerning programming, motivating station members, networking with other college radio stations, and financing, as well as other matters that are currently affecting college radio. The convention panels offered an open forum atmosphere allowing members from all radio stations to express their views on a particular topic. One of the main themes of the convention involved censorship since· this topic is of utmost concern to college radio due to recent happenings in the news, and it will continue as one of the main themes in the future. The students were also given the opportunity to meet representatives from record companies that they deal with on a day to day basis, and give them a better understanding of what WCLH is all about. In addition to the discussions about college radio, the students were able to see bands perform at different nightclubs every night through showcases offered by the convention. The staff members plan to implement some of the ideas from the convention into the functioning of WCLH.

Paul also objects to intensive animal agriculture, a process which involves the use of fattening agents and preservatives to over-develop livestalk for sale. "The use of intensive farming is clearly wrong in that it violates all rights without providing any kind of real benefit," she said.

By SEAN REILLY Special to the Beacon WILKES-BARRE -Since the beginning of the semester, the Wilkes community has put more of an effort into recycling aluminum and paper products. Many people, however, stiH wonder why Wilkes is required by law to recycle. Recycling is an economical way of reducing the amount of waste that goes to the landfills, and it saves the virgin natural resources which are used to make those materials. If we, as Americans, were to continue our wasteful patterns, in ten years, one third of all the country's landfills would be full. This past summer Governor Casey signed the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling, and Waste Reduction Act, establishing recycling as the law in Pennsylvania. This law makes it necessary for President Breiseth and Gerry Cookus join Wilkes students Pho1obyDa1eNat Wilkes to recycle three or more items. Wilkes has established the policy of recycling office paper, aluminum, Wilkes has established the and mulching its lawn clippings.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUl �PAGES Nov. 15, 1990 ~ing ,hootin ;tin th wning nsible You've entered... The Smoking Zone You are on a journey beyond smell and taste. Your lungs are filling up and you find yourself coughing _and hacking for want of clean air. Nothing tastes or smells right. Your eyes are teary. Even your clothes smell funny. You have just entered...the "Smoking Zone." F unny as this scenario may seem. it is frighteningly true. Smoking is like playing Russian Roulette, except the cigarette pack is your revolver. You just can't tell when your luck will run out and you will kill yourself. Not only is smoking a major health hazard. but it is also a nuisance, especially to non-smokers. The acrid smell of the smoke is enough to ruin your appetite in a restaurant, make you absolutely reek with the distinct odor of a cigarette, as well as cause possible physical harm to the non-smoker breathing in cigarette smoke. There have been a considerable amount of complaints coming from smokers about non-smoking policies established by restaurants, airlines, airports. trains. movie theaters, etc. Smokers contend they are being discriminated against. and they feel it isn't fair that they can't smoke where and when they want to. However, smokers don't seem to realize that their smoke is not only annoying to the non-smokers. but it is also .... causing possible harm to their bodies. If the non-smokers wanted to breathe in the smoke. they would have become smokers themselves. Today is the day for the Great American Smokeout. On this day of the year, all participating smokers are asked to throw away their cigarettes for one day. There will be gum and candy provided in Stark Lobby for those who need a helping hand throughout the day. Those participating who make it through the day without a smoke have good reason to be commended because smoking is considered to be an addiction. A smoker who makes the effort to quit smoking altogether as a result of the smokeout deserves an "Al" rating. So let's see how many members of the Wilkes community can quit for just one day. Go for it! We're all behind you! JCL �PAGE6 · Nov. 15, 1990 . Alias storm ,approachin By ANDREA SIL VI Beacon Copy Edi.tor Rock group Alias, composed of lead vocalist Freddy Curci, guitarists Steve DeMarchi and Roger Fisher, drummer Michael Derosier, and bassist Steve Fossen, is currently storming its way up the national charts with its newest release, "More Than Words Can Say." Coming off ~n extensive Canadian tour where its self-titled EMI debut album has struck gold, the band, made up of ex-members of Heart and Sheriff, is now appearing across North America as special guests of REO Speedwagon. The group will make its debut appearance in the Wilkes-Barre. area on Saturday, November 17 at 8 p.m. at the Kirby Center with REO. Alias got its start back in 1988 when ex-Sheriff vocalist Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi joined together and began work on their debut album in a 16 track studio which they set up in DeMarchi's basement. The band got the break it needed when it was suddenly catapulted back into the public eye by the success of an old Sheriff tune, "When I'm With You," which soared up to the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. While recording in Los Angeles, Curci and DeMarchi met up with ex-Heart drummer Michael Derosier and eventually included Steve Fossen and Roger Fisher to complete the line-up. Alias' sound is one of energy and agression. "This is real kick-ass rock 'n' roll," said Curci. Alias will be at the Kirby Center on Saturday DeMarchi adds, "It's honest, sincere, and These songs are the real thing - - they're the of our own experiences." DeMarchi feels public will be especially receptive to the music because their lyrics really hit home. that people will be able to relate to them most of us have all been through periods luck, broken romances, and life at the lo he said. Alias' sincere and diversified sound is on all of the tracks, from the hard-hitting "Say What I Want To Say," "The Po "Haunted Heart," to emotional ballads like For Love," and "More Than Words CanS Curci hopes that the band can eventuall off' the influence of the members' former order to create a new image in the music· "We don't want to be regarded as the members of Sheriff or Heart, but as ab band with a new album, and a new pers ' said.

Then come to the Community Room of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, South Franklin Street across from Boscov's, in downtown Wilkes-Barre on November 23rd. They'll be opening their doors to the sound of a lighter side of the blues with a mixture of country music featuring Roy Book Binder, guitar wizard. Imagine meeting and listening to someone who shared the stage with grammy award winner, Bonnie Raitt. Roy Book Binder has been in the limelight with stars such as Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Crow, B.B. King, and John Hartford. Binder is listed in Sheldon Harris' encyclopedia "the Blues Who's Who" and is a regular guest on the TNN Cable Network program, "Nashville Now." Adding to his accomplishments Book Binder has just released his fifth record,"Bookeroo!". . Book Binder can be described as a fingerpicking guitar wizard with a laid-back, warm and witty vocal style. His music blends old-time country with traditional blues, some folk, and a bit of Tin Pan Alley. Not only will Binder impress with his singing but he will fascinate with his spellbinding storytelling abilities, telling "tall" tales about the men who wrote the songs he sings. When asked why he weaves storytelling in with his music he says, "There's so much more to music than notes; there are stories to tell. I do a song for a reason, and people enjoy hearing why." So for a change on Friday night "Bookeroo" on over to St. Stephen's at 8:30 and enjoy the Chicory House presentation, Roy Book Binder for an evening of song, storytelling, and refreshments.

Last week Showcase theater opened a run of Lion in Winter (unfortunately, this weekends performances have been canceled due to the illness of one of its cast members). Brighton Beach Memoirs opened a two-week run at the little theater. There are two productions that have weekend runs at Wilkes University and King's College. The Real Inspector Hound opened at King's last night under the direction of Karl Wagner. This farce, by playwright Tom Stoppard, contains murder, melodrama, and mystery. Featured among the cast is Wilkes sophomore James Evans. He and Eric Kawaleski portray theater critics that -are involved in a plot that contains more twists than a rollercoaster ride. Inspector Hound runs tonight through Saturday with curtain time being 8 p.m. each night. Blue Window opens tonight at 8 p.m. at the Dorothy Darte Center on the Wilkes campus and will play every night through Saturday, except on Sunday when it will start at 2 p.m. "Doc" O'Neill directs this version of a Craig Lucas comedy.

The cast includes Jason Delcampe, Jessica Materna, John McGlauhlin, Chrissy Brunnock, Sean Riley, Gail Stone, and Melanie O'Donnell. The action of this play takes place in five seperate New York apartments, therefore, giving it a jigsaw puzzle effect.

Steele and the Undead By MARY JO RUBINO Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE- Bobby Steele, formerly of the Misfits visited WCLH this past weekend to promote the upcomin·g concert featuring Bobby Steele's band, The Undead. Bobby Steele played in the Misfits for two years during the late 70's and early 80's. The misfits became one of the biggest groups in underground music. Bobby's creative style got the better of him, and he decided to leave The Misfits and form his own band, The Undead, with Bobby Sean Reilly and Jessica Materna will appear in Blue Wi weekend at Wilkes writing most of the music and lyrics. The Undead put out several 45's on the record label Stiff Records. Bobby Steele then started his own record label, Post Mortem Records, in order to promote and distribute The Undead records. The Undead currently have two records out on Post Mortem Records. The first record, "Never Say Die", is a collection of songs previously released on their 45's. The second record, "Act Your Rage", came out in 1989 and did well on college radio. Right now, The U11dead is down to one member, Bobby Steele himself, but Bobby gets friends to help out for performances. He is planning to put out a CD next year compiling both the "Never Say Die" and "Act Your Rage" albums. Check out Bobby Steele with The Undead, as well as The Fiendz, On-Life, and Positive Energy this Sunday night, November 18, at the L&S Skate-O-Rama in Nanticoke.

Wolfman Jack was spinning your favorite oldies as new releases. The guys had their hair slicked back and cigarettes rolled in their white tee-shirts. The girls, with poodle skirts and tight sweaters, were riding shotgun in their favorite guy's car. And the Wilkes wrestling team, in their blue and gold tights, suffered a losing season. The last losing season in 36 years. But according to Wilkes head man John Reese, that streak could be in jeopardy this season. "The good news about this year is that we had 56 people come out for the team and we still have 44 practicing with us," said Reese, the winningest active coach in the Division I ranks. "The bad news is that we don't have much experience. We are really young, my youngest team in my 38 years at Wilkes, and 60% of our team is freshmen and sophomores." Reese isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet, however. This squad does feature senior stars Merrel Neal and Charlie Keyes. He firmly believes this squad will turn out to be a good one. But the question is, when? "We have a lot of talent to work with," said Reese. "I'm also pleased with the work ethic and enthusiasm of this group. We could grow into a tough team, but I'm not sure when. It is going to be tough competing with Army, Navy, Syracuse, and Lehigh, with all their experience." Last Saturday night the Colonels rolled out the mats and decided to find some answers as they held their annual wrestle offs. Men's Basketball In the first bout of the night, the 118 pound division, two sophomores, Bob Hawkins and Chris Ricard squared off. With the sc;ore tied at two, Ricard made a move but missed, Hawkins countered with a two point move and a 6-4 win. "We thought that would be a close match," said Reese. "Both of the guys at this spot have a lot of talent." In the 126 pound bout, Dave Russo, a Massachusetts state champ, knocked off Ray Markulucs in a 6-4 decision. The 134 pound division featured Mike Froelich and Greg Schaefer. Froelich, coming off an injury-plagued season last year, looked strong in gaining a technical fault. "Mike seems like he is over all of his injuries," said Reese. "We think he will be one of the better 134 pounders in the East. He is very strong, and we are looking for a big year from him." At the 142 pound weight, freshman Mike Evans smacked sophomore Ron Miller 8-2. "This was a little bit of a surprise," said Reese. "We thought this match would have been closer, but I think Miller was nervous. But that's what happens when the lights go on." The 150 pound match pitted juniors Jason Eike and Eric Feese, who carries a 4.0 GPA in biology. Eike won 7-6. "It was a very good match," said Reese. "Both guys should be very competitive at that weight." The 158 pound class had sophomore Anthony Guidi beating up on freshmen Isreal Medina. "We are looking for a good year from Anthony," stated Reese about the West Virginia transfer. "He has talent and some experience." The 167 and 177 pound weights will be this year's strongest weights, featuring co-captains Merrel Neal and C respectively. "Merrel was third in the Eastems last year and I think !hi confidence," said Reese. "He is looking really good this year.' "Charlie will be one of the better 177 pounders in the stays healthy he will have a good year." The 190 pound match had Reggie Stancil knocking Tufankjian in a closer than indicating 8-2 score. At heavyweight, Aaron's brother Dearon defeated the Darren Hack 6-4. Look for the Tufankjian brothers to both bump down before the season is over and Hack to see plenty of time at hea , "The eliminations are the toughest part of the season,' "The kids should realize this isn't the end of the world and k hard." The Colonels open their season this weekend, hos · Conneticut, Old Dominion, Pitt-Johnstown, Carson-Ne Tennesse, American University, and Coppin St. Here's hoping for a cancelled trip to the past. BARJ e air E This s: sn Colo1 ookin es lad leski, I, mch~ years' .Nortl1 II Navy DREXEL It Ithaca WILKES OPEN WILKES OPEN RIDER Charlie Keyes the Wilkes' wrestling attack Chemistry key for young tea By RON RAINEY, JR. Beacon Sports Writer WILKES-BARRE--- The Wilkes Colonels basketball team, after losing three senior starters from last year, will sport a new look when they begin the 1990 season. The loss of Jimmy Nolan, the school's all-time leading scorer, Dave Argentati, and Tom Doughty has not deterred the Colonels. · "We've had a good pre-season thus far, everyone is enthusiastic and excited about the upcoming season," said he:ad coach Ron Rainey, who enters his sixth year at the helm of the Colonels. Rainey hopes his two returning starters, Ray Ott and Joe Natale will provide leadership for the Colonel team which sports eleven freshmen. Ott, who will be the captain for the Colonels, will man the point guard spot. Although not a flashy player, Ott plays solid defense and does not make many turnovers. He is like a coach on the floor when running the offense. His back-up will be junior Jeff Gregory, who uses excellent court awareness when he substitutes for Ott. At the shooting guard will be senior Eric Lawson, who will be one of the Colonels main three point shooting threats. Splitting time with Lawson will be Jim Burke, a senior who transfered from Susquehanna. Burke may be the Colonels best pure shooter and he will be counted on for offensive spark coming off the bench. At small forward Rainey looks to start sophomore John Harlan, who sat out last season. Although Harlan missed a whole season of play, he hasn't missed a beat in the pre-season, combining hustle and a good shooting touch to claim a starting position. Rainey also spoke of a new look for the offense this year. Unlike last year, when the majority of the scoring came from the perimeter, this year's squad will look inside. "We will have a more inside-oriented team this year with Natale, Chris and Jeff Patackis, Tom Sheplock, and our other big men making us stronger offensively and defensively," said Rainey. Right now it looks like freshman Chris Patackis, who plays physical inside, will start for the Colonels at power forward. His starting mate at center will be Natale, last year's MAC rookie of the year. In his second season, Natale has shown improvement. "I feel more comfortable this season," said Natale. "I think I know what to expect this year. I'm a little stronger and have improved my inside moves over the summer which may help me this year." For the first time in many years, Rainey will have a deep bench for his inside players. Sophomore transfer Jeff Patackis and freshmen Tom Sheplock will give the Colonels two big men to solidify the frontcourt. John Mahasky, Rob Simmons, and Rob Graboske will also look for time under the boards. Rainey _also feels former Coughlin star Phil Marko will help the team in the future, once he hand injury. Not only do the Colonels have depth insi also have a solid group of players to help in the Returners Rick Butler and John Quinn show p two will be joined by freshmen Corby Sw Douglas, Bobby Hickey, Jeremy Rupnik, Joe F Andy Petroski. Soccer players Tom Nalley and have also joined the team recently. How have the freshmen fit in so far this pre "They're holding their own and working far," said Ott. "We need the young guys to for us if we are to be competitive." Also returning to the Colonels in his second assistant will be former Scranton All-A Andrejko. First year assistaITt Bernie Prevuznzk, Prev," rounds out the staff. - Rainey hopes the new and old blend quickly starts the season tommorow in the Division II S· Tournament. The Colonels will then play fi MAC games, four of them being on the road. "The early part of the season is important have to play those first five MAC games righta Rainey.

Hromchak added that with a good effort and some composure, they can really put it together. When asked about who she feels will be a tough opponent this year, she cites Elizabethtown.

The audience was hesitant at first, but soon began to raise concerns about a variety of issues. Some of the topics discu1;sed included concerns for the health and safety of dormitory students in light of the Sterling Hall incident, long-term planning for satellite parking at Ralston Field, and the recent institution of the recycling program at Wilkes.

LOBALBO Beacon Editor Photo by Vaueh n Shlnkus WILKES-BARRE - The Christmas spi_r.it seems to be present among the students of the Wilkes community as students work lo support our soldiers in the Persian Gulf. When American troops began going over Lo Saudi Arabia, the Wilkes University Student Government initiated "Qperalion Yellow Ribbon." Students obtained yellow ribbons from Stark Lobby and tied them on objects located around campus, including banisters, doorknobs, etc. Dean Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, has expressed her positive feelings about "Operation Yellow Ribbon. ''I'm delighted that the yellow ribbons are not only being kept, but they are being replaced when they become worn," said Lampe-Groh. There has also been some talk about a large ribbon being tied around the bell tower. To support our troops through the upcoming holiday season, about three weeks ago, operation "Sandy Claus" was initiated. The idea is for Wilkes students to spread Christmas cheer by writing lelters to the troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. This has also met with great success. "It's been going very well. I've given out 900 names of soldiers to write lo," said Samantha Ireson, one of the planners of the Wilkes chapter of Operation "Sandy Claus." She stated that Wilkes students are very supportive of the program. Ireson is asking all those wishing Lo write a letter to contact her at 829-9212, or slop in her dorm room, Room 513 of Miner Hall. Ireson said that she will carry as many Ieuers as she can when she goes back to Saudi Arabia, but the ones she can't take back ,will have to be mailed. All lcuers to be mailed must be in an envelope with a return address and a 45¢ stamp. Ireson will address the letters herself. The deadline for mailing leuers is November 30 through December 3, and the deadline for letters to be carried is December 15. �Nov. 29, 1990 PAGE2 Faculty discusses genetic iss By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE- A handful of Wilkes faculty and administrators were in attendance Tuesday as Dr Les Turoczi, Professor of Biology, delivered this week's Faculty Forum presentation. Speaking to a group of approximately ten, Turoczi explained the process of genetic toxicology, a biological testing method which measures the affects of chemical agents upon heredity. "Genetic toxicology analyzes affects from the long perspective, not just the immediate, transient approach," he said. Genetic Toxicologists are most concerned with germinal mutations- changes in genetic structure which can be caused by the long-term affects of chemical agents within the environment. "Our principle focus is upon understanding the mechanisms of germinal mutations which can be passed on from generation to generation," said Turoczi. Turoczi expressed ·the need for proper cataloging of environmentally offensive agents. "Nothing happens in a vacuum," he said. "We all need , to become better environmental stewards by ensuring that proper safeguards are used appropriately." According to Turoczi, 1000 new chemicals are dumped into the biosphere each year, many without being genetically tested. "We often don't know what these chemicals can do as potential mutagens," he said. Finally, Turoczi warned the audience of those products marketed with the label "natural." "Many dietary pesticides are 99.9 percent natural, but aren't necessarily safe," he said. Intersession courses slated By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor INTERNSHIPS IN PENNSYLVANIA ST ATE GOVERN M The Commonwealth is an Equal Opportunity Employer ATTN : COMPUTER SCIENCE & ACCOUNTING MAJ WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes students interested in taking Intersession classes should begin the registration process as soon as possible, according to Dean John Meyers, Registrar Designate.

Dr. Capin Recognized for service By ANDREA SIL VI Beacon Copy Editor WILKES-BARRE- Robert S. Capin, President Emeritus of Wilkes University and Professor of Accounting, has been selected to receive the Community Service Award presented by the Seligman J. Strauss Lodge No. 139 of B'nai B'rith. B'nai B'rith, a community service organization which focuses upon combating racism and bigotry, presents the award each year to an outstanding citizen who has contributed to the community through leadership and dedication. Past recipients of this award include President Emeritus Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Robert A. Fortinsky, and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Rifkin. The presentation of the Community Service award will take place at the B'nai B'rith Lodge's annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Sunday, February 10, 1991, at the Ramada Hotel on Public Square. According to David Schwager, a member of the B'nai B'rith Lodge, Dr. Capin's dedication has greatly contributed to the fabric of community life. "Dr. Capin has done more than his fair share through his service to both Wilkes and the community." Dr. Capin became Wilkes' third president in 1975 following twenty years of service to the school, both as a member of the faculty and administration.

A s I walk through campus, I often hear that there need to be some c-h anges here on campus and that the administration so often lends a deaf ear to the complaints and suggestions of students. The Wilkes Open Forum was organized last semester by a group of students in Small Group Communication taught by professor Jane Elmes-Crahall. There were many positive feelings from both students and administration concerning the forum, and many legitimate student concerns were expressed to the administration. 11 On Tuesday evening, Student Government sponsored the second Open Forum in Stark 101. Among those on the panel were President Breiseth, Dr. Waldner, Bill Hanigan, Dean Lampe, and 'myself. From the amount of complaints I had heard from students about certain school policies prior to the forum, I expected some fairly lively and possibly productive discussions concerning the university. Approximately 50 people attended the forum, about 15 different people spoke their concerns, including the M.C., and I noticed that about half the people left during the course of the forum. Is there so much apathy at Wilkes that students are unable to take the time to express their own personal opinions and suggestions directly with someone who may be able to help them or possibly give them some advice on what to do? The funny thing is that the people who do the most complaining did not show up. _ Is it that students feel that they can't make a difference at Wilkes? They can, actually. For example, an issue was raised at last semester's forum about the mouse problem at Pickering. The following day, an exterminator was contacted to take care of the problem. If students just don't care and don't want to get involved, they're only hurting themselves. The board members attending the forum are willing to discuss any and all problems, or else they wouldn't be there. All I can say is this: Those who failed to attend the forum and voice their opinions have no right or reason to complain. They had their chance on Tuesday, and they declined the invitation. I do, however, wish to thank and applaud those who did show up. These people not only showed that they have an interest in the university, but they also demonstrated that they are willing to work to institute changes at Wilkes. What about the rest of you?

All the hopes and fears of the cast subsided when the sash was thrown open and Blue Window weathered in a new era of talented actors as well as some seasoned veterans. The play, directed by Michael O'Neill, ran during the weekend of November 15-18. It opened without the presence of veteran actors Rob Johansen, Maureen O'Hara, and Ed Buonocore, who were mainstays during their tenure as students at Wilkes. However, Rob and Ed did appear in the Sunday audience, and their unique tones of laughter had an impact on the comedic moments of the play as they seemed to enhance the involvement of the audience on hand. · O'Neill returned to the helm after being away for two years doing theater projects in Poland. He had previously directed several Wilkes productions including What You Will, which won awards for best off-broadway play and best ensemble performance at the American College Theater Festival in New York in 1988. Blue Window is a contemporary comedy written by playwright Craig Lucas who also scripted the highly acclaimed Prelude to a Kiss which is currently running on broadway. The play can be described as a Chekov-type comedy where nothing happens, but everything happens. It's about people and their relationships and how they react differently in private settings as opposed to social situations. Window focuses on the insecurities of individuals who gather at an upper class party in New York during the late 1980's. The plot of Blue Window is a confusing one. It is intentionally written that way, almost in a puzzle configuration. The sets contained props that were designed as pieces which could be broken apart and fitted back together to form other types of furniture. At first, this aspect of the play was annoying, as the actors scurried around in the dark setting up the next scene. There were no curtains drawn between the three acts of the play, but one could come to realize the puzzle-like symbolism of this feature as it relates to the rest of the play. The apartment rQom settings, as well as the window and door frame props, were unique fixtures on stage as they either rolled into place or were raised and lowered with precision down onto the luminous stage. John Farley Swanson was responsible for the marvelous lighting effects which occured during the play, especially the visually stunning blend of colors which lit up a huge painting in the apartment backdrop. Strong performances were turned in by three returning Wilkes stars. Jason Dclcampe stood out as the life of the party, socially and solo, as he portrayed a sensitive character named Griever. He danced and frolicked in front of his mirror as he prepared for the Sunday afternoon party, mimicking lyrics on the stereo in an uproarious manner. Chrissy Brunnock and Gail P.

This is exactly what I had to do on Saturday, November 17, when attendi_!lg a performance of Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. Inspector Hound is a farce in which two critics (Wilkes' Jim E·vans and Kings' Eric Kawalski) are caught in the plot of a melodramatic thriller. The show is essentially a play within a play.

The King's players presented a somewhat lukewarm production of this comedy, providing some laughs and some disappointments. The Real Inspector Hound should be performed as high melodrama, unfortunately few of the actors executed this successfully. Of course, there are always exceptipns to the rule. As the critics, Evans and Kawalski were Evans was at his best when reveling in the fact senior critic Higgs may be dead and he may become reviewer.

Beacon Staff Writer If you haven't seen some of the players from the basketball team around campus lately, it probably means they are at an away game. The Colonels schedule has had them on the road for almost two months before coming back to the friendly confines of the Marts Center. . The tough road schedule began at the Shippensburg tournament where t_hey lost to Division II nationally-ranked Shippensburg before falling at the hands of West Liberty State, another Division II school. The Colonels did, however, regroup right before Thanksgiving break to win their first MAC game against Lycoming 86-68. In the game, Eric Lawson led the Colonels scoring attack with 23 points. Chris Patackis, Joe Natale, and Jimmy Burke also scored in double figures scoring 18, 17, and 12 points respectively. Lawson gave credit to the Colonels revamped inside game when asked about his scoring record against Lycoming. "When their defense started collapsing on our big men, it gave me room to shoot easy jump shots," Lawson said. Following the victory over Lycoming, the Colonels hit the road again when they visited the Drew Rangers Monday night. The Rangers' gym is so tough to play in that it has been nicknamed "The House of Blood" by many MAC coaches. The Colonels, however, ignored the fanatical crowd to post a 100-87 victory. The Colonels had a balanced scoring attack against the Rangers as five players achieved· double figures .in scoring. Lawson led the Colonels with 24 points, Burke had 15, and Natale tallied 14. Freshman Patackis had 17, two coming off a one handed follow up dunk, while John Harlan came off the bench to hit three big three-pointers and another bucket for a total of eleven points. Coach Ron Rainey spoke very highly of his young players. "Patackis did a great job scoring and rebounding, and Harlan gave us a spark coming off the bench. Phil Marko also did a good job when he played for Natale," Rainey said. The win over the Rangers not only evened the Colonels record at 2-2 (2-0 in the MAC), but it also came on the road, where wins are hard to come by in the MAC. Rainey was very pleased with his team's performance on the road. "This road win will give us a lot of confidence with a tough week coming up." The tough week ahead includes travelling down South Franklin Street to play the Monarchs of King's College tonight. Tip off is at 8:00 pm. "King's is the best team in the conference," said Rainey, "They are the defending Northern Division champs, and they will be tough to beat." Following the trip to King's, the Colonels will travel to F.D.U. - Madison on Saturday, and then to Messiah next week. Both contests are MAC tilts. So, if you happen to run into one of the Colonels basketball players on campus, enjoy the moment, because it won't be long before the team will be on the road again for another away game. as frus for the com1 opern with I Senior tonight MAC Honors Wingert and Team By RAY OTT Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - Head men's soccer coach Phil Wingert has been named the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division coach of the year. Wingert edged out twelve other skippers, including Skip Roderick of number-one ranked Elizabethtown and Steve Klingman of the Unive(sity of Scranton, in the voting conducted by his peers. Wingert led the Colonels to a school record fifteen wins and the ECAC championship. "It's a very nice award," said Wingert, "I was really honored, and I think it _is a good reflection of the program and our players. It's a nice way to cap off a really good year." Wingert was not the only Colonel to bring home recognition for the fine season. Sophomore forward Paul Jellon was named to the first team all-MAC, while midfielders Ron Rainey and Phil Joyce were chosen as second team selections. Jcllon was the main cog in the Colonels offense, scoring 14 goals and 5 assists for 33 points. Jcllon is the first Wilkes player since 1973 to be named first team MAC. He was also the only sophomore to make the first team. "It's a really great honor," said Jellon, "But I realize if I didn't have the players I had around me I would have never made this." Rainey, a junior transfer from Virginia Tech, scored eight goals while recording eight assists for 24 points. Joyce, a sophomore, was cited mainly for the job he did defensively. "Phil always checked the other teams most talented midfielder," said Wingert, "I think the coaches in the league recognized his work ethic and the job he did defensively." -Three Colonels were also named to the MAC fall semester all-academic team.

At 150, Jason Eike lost to the infamous Nick Garone (Garone and his hand gestures visited the Marts Center two years ago when he was a member of the Syracuse . Orangeman). The Colonels then turned it on when they got to the meat of their order. Anthony Guidi, Merrel Neal, and Charlie Keyes won at 158, 167, and 177 respectively. "We knew our upper weights were our most experienced wrestlers and we had them come through for us," said Reese. The match was now tied at 13 with !90 pounder Reggie Stancil set to battle Pete Huntley. Stancil held a lead until 11 seconds remaining in the bout when he gave up a reversal and wound up drawing. That really hurt the Colonels, as they squandered a chance to go up 16-13 and come away with a tie at the worst. Instead, Wilkes would head into the heavyweight bout tied at 15. Heavyweight Dcaron Tufankjian then dropped a decision to Steve Sclandara, and the Colonels had their first loss of the season. Overall, Reese was happy with the weekend's happenings.

"According to recent statistics, one out of 500 college students now carry the HIV virus," said the Wilkes Health Services Coordinator. "AIDS is the leading cause of death of women in their child bearing age." Nearly 200 students packed Rumours Wednesday evening prepared to hear Ron Fredericks tell his story. What they got turned out to be much more. Fredericks, a local man who has tested HIV positive, recently lost both his wife and son to AIDS. Flanked by his "support group," he quickly informed the audience of his objective, to give insight into a deadly disease. "Unless you change your sexual habits, some of you are going to have it. It's real." Throughout the presentation, members of Frederick's support group vividly portrayed their own images of the reality of AIDS. ARENESS - Ron Fredericks along with his support group inform about AIDS istmas dance: rumors, Rumours, rumors the holiday season approaches, Wilkes [ediu -Top .n Piz look forward to the end of classes, Christ~. and the annual Christmas Dance. year, however, there are mixed emotions ·ng thelocation of the dance. Instead of being die Holiday Inn or Gcnctti' s as it has been in , this year's dance will be held in Wilkes' tclub, Rumours. the most recent Homecoming Dance was sponsored by Student Government (S.G), ·sunas dance is sponsored by Commuter (C.C,), and Inter-Residence Hall Council C.). ding to S.G. President Bill Hanigan, the budgets of C.C. and I.R.H.C. make it tfortheorganizations to afford rates charged lishments such as Genctti's or the Holiday Christmas dance has traditionally drawn a smaller response than Homecoming," he said. eballroom just isn'tpractical for what will be of about one hundred students." ding to Commuter Council members, holddance in Rumours will help defray the ticket allow for a larger buffet dinner. Instead of the usual $15 price of a ticket for the Homecoming Dance, the cost of the Christmas Dance is only $7.50 per person. Because the dance will be held on-campus, C.C. and I.R.H.C. members will also have an opportunity to more elaborately decorate prior to the event. "By holding the dance at Rumours, not only are we able to lower ticket costs for students, but we can also create a more festive atmosphere by including more decorations," said Commuter Council member Terry Elias. Many students , however, object to the new location because University policy restricts the consumption of alcohol in campus buildings. Unlike dances held at the local establishments , which often allow those who are of legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages at a cash bar, Rumour's will feature "mocktails" for everyone, regardless of age. Some feel that the absence of alcohol at the dance will greatly affect ticket sales. "More people would be interested in attending the dance if it were held in a place like Genetti' s where alcohol is served, and they also would probably pay more for the tickets just to have alcohol," said one student. The dance will be held on Saturday, December 8. "Mocktail hour" will be from 6:30 to 7:30, dinner from 7:30 to 9, and dancing will continue until I a.m. "Unless you change your sexual habits, some of you are going to have it. IT'S REAL." Ron Fredricks AIDS Patient Carol Yozviak of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, deals with patients of all ages on a daily basis. "It hurts to tell someone who is 18 years old that they are HIV positive. That's the real world." "What do people with HIV look like," Yozviak posed, making reference to the often unseen danger of infection,"they look normal, exactly like you and I." Others spoke in technical terms, clarifying questions posed by audience members. Dr. Jeffrey Sands told of the methods used to detect the virus, emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing early symptoms. Still others told the tale of a very much normal man , not a homosexual or a drug user, who contracted the disease and suffered through the agony of watching his loved ones die from it. "Ron seeks meaning and value in his life by teaching others about living and about dying," said Rev. Mary Laufer of Hospice St. John. Another Hospice adm inistrator, Brian Thomas, said much the same. "Ron works to prevent everyone from going th rough the same th ing he did," Thomas said. But all clearly presented one clear message, a message which Fredericks himself best summarized. "If you go o ut of here and contract AIDS a year or two down the road, you have no one to blame but yourself." The speakers informed audience members of the primary assurance of not contracting AIDS, abstinence. Other methods, including monogamy and the use of condoms were dimissed as secondary. "Using a condom properly may keep you from contracting HIV, but there is a 16 percent failure rate," said Yozviak. The best way to combat AIDS, according to Fredericks, is to understand it. "The bottom line is this, he said. "Do you hear what we've been saying? " �DEC. PAGE2 6, 1990 Role of women discussed at foru WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University and the Pennsylvania Humanities Council will sponsor two panel discussions during December. The first discussion, "Women and the Arts of Peace," will take place today, and the second, "Holistic and Humanistic Approaches to the Healing Arts," will take place on December 13. Both panels will be held in the Media Room of the Marts Center at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the panel discussions is to provide the community with an opportunity to participate in a forum which explores the roles of women and the humanities in promoting a peaceful and healthy world. Today's panel will feature Sr. Constance Kozel and Sr. Barbara Craig of the Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice; Marie Henehan, Ph.D., Wilkes University Assistant Professor of Political Science; and Capt. Robyn King, Wilkes University. The panel will be moderated by Heidi Hojonowski, an English and Spanish major at Wilkes. The panel on "Holistic and Humanistic Approaches to the Healing Arts" will feature Holiday Adair, Ph.D., Wilkes University Assistant Professor of Psychology; William Clearfield, D.O; Anne Kolanowski, Ph.D ., Wilkes University Associate Professor of Nursing; and Linda Paul, Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Philosophy. The panel will be moderated by Lisa Balestrini, a Communications major at Wilkes. Support for the program has been provided through a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Students of the Wilkes University Women's Studies program will participate in both discussions. The program has been organized by Karen Kaminski, Assistant Professor of Nursing; Michael Garr, Associate Professor of Sociology; Patricia Hearnan, Associate Professor ofEnglish; and Lori Fuller, a Psychology and Sociology major at Wilkes, in cooperation with university and community groups.

From the video tape entries, three winners will be announced and will then advance to the National finals at the Western Speech Communication Association's convention in Phoenix, Arizona, February 15-19.

When the men-only draft ended in 1973, women made up just.1.6 percent of the military. Lawmakers aren't likely to seriously consider involuntary service unless Bush makes a request. If that happens, the debate would tum stormy. Lawrence Korb, a former assistant defense secretary for manpower, calls the draft issue a "red herring." Proponents of reinstating conscription, he said, "never liked the volunteer military" or are trying to undermine support for Bush's policy with scare tactics. Former Col. Taylor, a Vietnam veteran who is a senior vice-president of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that even in ¢e worst case "a draft is unnecessary." "This country has under arms, and in the available reserves, all the manpower required to fight what will be a war of 30 days or less - with or without rotation policy," he said. Korb said he also didn't think the draft would be resumed. "ff you go to war, that war is going to be quick. Either;·ou're going to win it quickly or you're going to find you can't achieve your objective."

I ran into the grocery store, turned down the aisle I wanted, and stopped ·hort. There, in front of the breakfast cereals and her entranced 6-month-old baby, a mother was dancing and singing along with the store music, ·'Celebrate good times, come on!" She was oblivious to the amused smiles of shoppers who pushed their carts around her, acting as if they did not see her shimmying with the Cocoa Puffs. It was the same look that Sioux Indians gave U.S. Army Lt. John J. Dunbar (played by Kevin Costner) as they watched him dance with Two Socks, a wolf who becomes the lone white man's loyal companion in the movie "Dances With Wolves." In this tale of friendship between white man and Indian, Dunbar's openness to the initially unfriendly neighbors he finds on the plains of South Dakota leads him Lo find his true self. The truth of who he, and all of us are, is well made at one point when the chief tells Dunbar there is only one road in life that matters most. "It is the trail of a good human being," he says. We all seek this trail, and the lessons and challenges from that time are still with us today. Human rights, regardless of race, are still being fought for.

GORDON EDITORS Liu, 65, reported on corruption in the Chinese government in the 1950s and was expelled from the Communist Party. He was unable lo publish for 22 years, and spent much of the time toiling in the countryside as part of his education in "reform." One of his many tasks was to carry up to 120 lbs. of seed and manure up a mountain to cultivated terraces. He carried the load in buckets that hung from a pole across his back. Pardoned in 1979, he again began exposing government corruption for the People's Daily and was forced Lo leave China. Liu has published three books, lectured at Harvard University and holds a fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars 1n Washington, D.C., where he now resides. "The reason the Party tries to (now) maintain such strict control is because it fears the people as never before," says Liu. "Chinese journalists have never encountered such difficult and painful situations as present. "The reason why they do not resign or rebel openly is not out of cowardness, but rather because they know that once they left their posts, they would immediately be replaced by others trusted by the hardliners, possibly people from the army, then they would lose their chance of speaking out at the right moment." Liu says the crisis in the Persian Gulf has given China an excuse not to address human the United States wants China's support arena if military force is deemed necessary from Kuwait. That thought was evidently echoed Bush when he met with Chinese Fore· Qian Qichen last week and told him between the two countries could not be unless China improves its human rights .The meeting was the first encounter and any senior Chinese official since tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square 18 killing hundreds of pro-democracy dem At the same time, Bush offered to Iraq as a last effort to avoid military the Middle East.

Joe Barberio Oxfam America Fast for a World Harvest �DEC. 6, 1990 PAGES En-Gulf-ed during the Holiday season T he fact that the U.S. is on the brink of war had little or no impact on me during the weeks before Thanksgiving break. I heard many stories of how other people's friends were in the armed services and on their way to the Gulf. My reaction showed some concern, but I wasn't able to convey a sense of sadness or sorrow to the magnitude of those individuals' feelings. Politics are confusing and often difficult to understand. However, it is not hard to understand that George Bush is pumping up his ego with every macho speech and tactical maneuver he makes. st encount )fficial si m Squar xracy d offered dmili )nded wi tently o rahs and I and th or which mtribute ·ct Oxfa thanks l ·k Lobby pd show th Dn who were nclude: Dr. aul Adams, ( [enehan, (pro n, (prof. of .

I ;11r11:11111 I have ·to admit that I am not thoroughly involved with the political stage the world appears upon. During Thanksgiving break, however, I was seated in the front row as I watched an actor prepare to take a part on a stage of senseless war. The actor was a great friend of mine whom I grew up with in my neighborhood. I knew that he had enlisted in the Marine Corps about a - - - - - - - - - - - . year ago, but it never really struck me that he would be a participant in war. The day before Thanksgiving, a few of my childhood friends and I gathered to pitch a game of horseshoes, and my friend who was headed to the Persian Gulf was there. He didn't start any conversations about war or fighting. The only ~ things he talked about were some of the hilarious mishaps that we got into while we were growing up. None of the Marine macho bull crap was evident as he reflected on our days of fun and frolic. I asked him about the Gulf and if he would be going. He responded," Yea, December 10th." I suddenly froze momentarily in my train of thought. Something struck a vital cord of my sensitivity: This was someone I have known for 18 .s.. years and someone I would like to know for the rest of my life. He will become an actor when he suits up in his Marine costume. The reason I give the title of actor to him is because he will become an individual unlike his true personality once he sees real combat action. George Bush is who I blame. Why is he sending more troops to the Gulf? I know he has set a January 15 deadline for Iiaq to leave Kuwait, but it seems ,.1 ridiculous that he is sending them right before Christmas. It's • bad enough that the troops had to eat their turkey dinners on foreign soil.

Consequently, many Americans fail to express concern over the continuing war raging right here in the United States. The troops involved in this battle are Vietnam veterans who are afflicted with PTSD: post-traumatic stress disorder. The battles they fight are in their minds. Vietnam. The word alone connotes so many different things to so many different people. Its mere mention taps a reservoir of emotion which varies in volume from person to person. One man shakes his head in disgust over what happened in Southeast Asia. Another looks off into the distance, sadly remembering his brother whose life was taken in that far-away land. A woman's eyes blaze with the fire of anger at an American government wrapped in infinite red tape. A boy smiles, waiting anxiously to hear heroic stories laced with gore, too young and naive to know any better. Yet another man rests his head in his hands, eyes closed tightly and moist with tears, desperately trying to find cover or, better yet, an escape from the battlegrounds in his mind. He is a Vietnam veteran who is forced to return to the jungles every day. His ticket back to Vietnam is PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder in which an individual relives a traumatic event through recurrent memories, dreams or through a feeling that he or she is suddenly back in that terrifying situation. Such a condition is caused by episodes which are outside the range of usual human experience including assaults, rape, fires, floods, earthquakes, accidents, kidnapping, torture ... war. The list goes on and on. Books, journals and magazines offer a wealth of knowledge on the topic of post-traumatic stress disorder and the Vietnam veteran. However, sometimes a single person can contain more information than all the books on PTSD combined, because that person is animate. That person is real. That person was there: Ken Sewatsky, a local resident, has PTSD. In Vietnam he was stationed at Con Thien, the most heavily mortared area in Vietnam. American troops at Con Thien received 12,000 - 18,000 rounds of mortar and rocket fire every day for three months straight. Whereas most American troops in Vietnam took part in five or six major operations (battles), Ken was involved in over 20. When Ken set foot on Southeast Asian soil, he was only 18 years old. At 41 years of age, Ken is a mountain of a man -just over six feet tall and tipping the scales at 260 pounds. Ken is as gentle and softspoken as he is big. Yet, looking into his eyes, his deep, dark eyes that witness~d so much, it is clearly evident that something slumbers inside of him that should never be awakened. On one particular night in April, I had the honor to stand side by side with Ken and walk back into the jungles of Vietnam, into his life and into his PTSD. Ken shared his thoughts and memories: "It's just the suffering, the sorrow is what PTSD means to me." - Ken Sewatsky Vietnam Veteran "To me it brings back all the memories, the sorrow, the bad times, the killing. You know, I feel so bad about the guys who got killed and that's probably what affected me, part of what affected me really bad. I think about all the guys we lost and all the bodies I've carried ... there were times when we had to match arms and legs, you know, does this arm go with this body? Or does this leg go with this leg? It's just the suffering, the sorrow is what PTSD means to me ... " ~ said, 'I need your help,' I would go. I sounds crazy, but I would still do what I c guess it's patriotism, I don't know ... " "When I arrived, it really set in. It some game I used to play in the woods whe• 12 years old. We used to play 'Pow-I-Got. this was real. You were gonna die if you have your shit together .. .'' · "I knew I was there for a purpose wasn't fighting and killing all these peo South Vietnam. I was doing it for Ken, sol get home. I wasn't worried about South V I was worried about Ken ... " "I can remember coming home that seeing thousands of people with big ban · course you couldn't see what they said. I 'Wow, we're getting welcomed by all people!' Everybody was eccstatic. 'Look welcome!' Then we got off the plane and sudden it was 'Baby killers, go back!' Th[J throwing eggs and tomatoes and I everything, spitting at us ... these were your turning against you ... " They took an 18-year-old kid and, in a of months, I became one of the best, well· killers the United States could ever put out couldn't believe boot camp ... every timt looked at you, they told you that you were g die .in Vietnam, you fucking scumbag ...

And then I comt and I just fucking killed all these people, my job and that's it, you'rejinished. You're killer any more. It's over. Now you go Ken." Wounded: many American troops received injuries mental injuries while serving in Vietnam. "The first time I learned about Vietnam was my senior year in History class. My teacher was Mr. Smith. He brought in Time magazines for everybody. And he said, 'A lot of you guys, this is what you're going to be facing in the next couple of years and I just want you to read about it.' To me, it was like, 'Hey, what do I have to read this shit for?' I was never really into history but I read it. I was reading about it and I was like, "You know, this is really heavy duty.' ... " "I graduated high school and me and three of my buddies started talking about going to do our duty for the country and, you know, there's a war on and we should do our part. So we joined the Marines. We went through boot camp together, but we got split up after that ... " "That's how I felt then and still feel now.

In her usual self-effacing humility, she takes a stab at commercialism on "God Bless the Child" when she "troubles" the producer with a request for live musicians: "No synthetic sound, please." The goofiest, and the most fun, song is Marge (Julie Kavner) and Homer's duet, "I Love to See You Smile." Marge can barely talk, much less sing, but somehow her raspy, cracking voice is adorable when paired with Homer's dopey vocalizing. Lisa cuts loose on horn solos throughout the album with the help of top saxophonists like Tom Scott. But she can't beat bad boy brother Bart (Nancy Cartwright). He teams up with Buster Poindexter on the rockish "School Day," and turns hip-hop in "Deep, Deep Trouble," a story-song in the Fresh Prince mode. But the real boffo Bart is "Do the Bartman," the, album's first single.

What he did know, however, was it would be the first match between the Colonels and the Quakers ever. "Having never wrestled Penn before we were a little in the dark," said Reese. "We did know they had an assistant coach who was at Oklahoma when they were national champions." Reese also knew Penn had been recruiting strong nationally, witness two starters being ex-Kansas state champions. What Reese found out Saturday afternoon at the Marts Center was the Quakers were no match for the young Colonels. Wilkes spanked Penn 29-9, as the Quakers tried to sooth their derriere's all ·the way back to the City of Brotherly Love. The Colonels dominated this one almost wire to wire, winning the first eight matches before dropping the final two. If any doubts lingered in the beginning of the match, Chris Ricard answered them, knocking off Brad Esson, one of the ex-state champs 7-4. Next up was the marathon match between Wilkes' Dave Russo and Paul Schwarzbach. In a bout which exceeded twenty minutes due to injury, Russo prevailed. "In the first period Schwarzbach suffered a two inch gash on his head," said Reese. "The referee had to keep stopping the match to get him taken care of. He was bleeding and needed to be taken care of, so that slowed the _match down." Mike Froelich continued his dominant ways at the 134 pound weight class by stopping Rick Dabbs, the Bloomsburg Open champion, and according to Reese, "their best wrestler." Froelich prevailed 12-8, upping his record to 4-0. At 142, Freshman Mike Evans beat the other Kansas state champ, Gonz Medina, 8-3. In the most exciting match of the afternoon, Jason Eike ' squeaked past Shawn Seagreabes 10-9. The match saw Seagreabes jump out to a 4-0 lead only to have Eike reel off 7 straight for a 7-4 lead. "With thirty seconds left the score was tied at eight," said Reese. "Jason then let him up with 12 seconds left and he was winning 9-8 and it looked like Jason was through. But Jason got a two point takedown with one second remaining, it was unbelievable." The 158 pound bout saw Anthony Guidi stay unbeaten with a 5-3 win over Henry Franklin. In th e 167 pound match, Steve Desanus stayed in bed. It was one of those days, as scored a technical fall, 16-1. Neal, who improved to 4-0, has been n spectacular thus far. "Merrel is just wrestling with all kinds Ii right now," said Reese. Charlie Keyes didn't do too bad at 177 pinned a shell-shocked Josh Horrell at 00:59 period.

On Monday night, the Colonels fell to Messiah by just two points. After jumping out to 10-2 and 19-4 leads, the Colonels were not able to hold on to a four-point halftime lead. The Colonels chances were hampered when two starters were not in the game in the final minutes. Freshman Chris Patackis sprained an ankle in practice Sunday and missed the game, while captain Ray Ott was injured during the game diving after a loose ball. Ott, who may miss this weekend's tournament at Allentown, spoke about the losses. "We are doing a good job putting ourselves in positions to win gai:nes, but we are not finishing it off," said Ott. "Hopefully we will get some breaks and start winning the close games, it's important that we start getting some wins and developing a winning attitude." Against Messiah, the Colonels were led by a quartet of backcourt players as Ott, Gregory, Eric Lawson, and Jim Burke all scored in double figures. till a good fiJ tout of 40 ( ghter-he's tewart fight was ing to his cam ·ng in late Augus y suffered a I( Up next for the hard luck Colonels is a tournament at Allentown this weekend.

" As the coordinator of project "Sandy Claus," Samantha carried back about 600 letters to U.S. soldiers, in addition to the near 2000 that she mailed in conjunction with other program members. Because of her direct involvement in "Sandy_ Claus," Samantha was able to deliver many of the lcllers personally, which gave her a good sense of troop attitude. □ See NATIVE, page 3 The reality of war hit home during the holiday break, as 15 Wilkes reservists were called to duty in support of Operation Desert Storm. The breakdown of those summoned to serve ranges from freshmen, part time, nontraditional, and masters degree students to faculty member Henry Steuben. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the University is unable to release the names of those students who have been called. Before leaving for active duty, the students were asked to contact the Student Affairs office to make neccessary arrangements in securing their educational future. Student Affairs Dean Jane LampeGroh met with many of the students to advise them about their academic status, financial aid, and housing concerns. According to Lampe, those called expressed little emotion and cft.Jj'p'Us AEACtrlON l? u~tti;I vi~ ~'e~ie::i~jiill 1• ~t~fa~~1li i1~•l;•~~[I~[~•~ ~• •§~~Rm9 Hi!Pii1:ilI8@rnrn I •••i •••••••••· 1 weremindfuloftheirresponsibility to representthe United States in the Gulf war. "The students that I talked to were very confident, calm, and purposeful in their approach to their duty," she said. Some of the student soldiers have been sent to join U.S. military forces already in Saudi Arabia. Still others will depart in the upcoming weeks, after completing specialized training. This drastic change in lifestyle seemingly has not affected many of the students. According to Lampe, "For young people whose lives have been turned upside down, their composure was outstanding," she said . Lampe also expressed concern for the threat of chaotic demonstrations, like the rally which took place earlier this month at King's College. Wilkes will not attempt to supress peaceful demonstrations, providing they do not hamper normal University operations. "Wilkes policy concerning demonstrations advocates the resolution of differences in an orderly manner. No demonstration must be allowed to interfere with a person's ability to access the institution," Lampe said. INSIDE ....

LOBALBO Beacon Editor WILKES-BARRE In celebration of Martin Luther King's 62nd birthday, Wilkes University, in partnership with the Martin Luther King Committee for Social Justice hosted a service of prayers, songs, and speeches at the Center for Performing Arts on Sunday, January 20, 1991. The keynote speaker of the afternoon was Rev. Debra Moody, Director of the Ethnic Corporation and Institutional Ministries of the Pennsylvania Council of Churches in Harrisburg. Moody is a graduate of Drew University, Oxford University, has a Ph.D. candidate at Drew University, and a Masters Degree in philosophy. Moody spoke mostly about King's famous book titled "Why We Can't Wait Any Longer." She indicated that King wrote to clearly depict the 400 year wait blacks had to endure before gaining any hope of freedom. King also contended that the blacks' non-violence and disobedience would worked for awhile, but he warned that if blacks did not get their freedom soon, violence would break out in all cities. Moody went on to speak about the homeless blacks in the cities."All people have a right to have a place they can call home," said Moody. • "I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to speak about Martin Luther King,"Moodysaid. "The world has not become a better place to live," she said. "As long as we have dif- ferences of race, the world will tear itself apart, as in the Persian Gulf Crisis." "It's ironic that the birthday of Martin Luther King was also the deadline for Saddam Hussein in the Persian Gulf," said Rev. James Doyle, King's College and Chairman of the Programming Committee. who gave the welcome. Acting as moderator for the service was Vera Comish, of Penn StateLehmanCampus. "We should all pray for the justice that King wanted, she said." As an added attraction, the Community Choir, under the direction of Roosevelt Newton, performed several gospel songs which moved the audience to the point of clapping and singing. The highlight of the program came in the choir's rendition of "We Shall Overcome." The Martin Luther King Committee was founded to "create an active organization of concerned citizens in order to preserve basic rights and liberties for all; to encourage and work for human dignity, social justice, equal opportunity, and civil rights." Other members taking part in the celebration included Rev. Wallace Smith, Pastor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Wilkes-Barre; Commissioner Frank Crossin, Rabbi Moshe Yerkes, Ohav Zedek, WilkesBarrc; Kenneth Burnett, REACH program; Allan Zellner, Wilkes faculty member; Rev. Anita J. Ambrose, Executive Director of the Wyoming Valley Council of Churches; Beverly Collins, member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Wilkes-Barre; and Rev. Cordelia Brown, pastor of the Forst United Methodist Church, Wilkes-Barre. Service brings the desert a little closer By NICOLETTE YEVICH Beacon Staff Writer Wilkes' Regional Computer Resource Center has instituted a new exclusive program which will enable students and community members to instantaneously send mail to troops stationed in the Persian Gulf. An electronic mail system has been installed which can send a letter in less than ten hours, as opposed to the weeks it is likely to take through the conventional mail system. "Letters from Home" was creared as part of a joint effort between General Electric, Pitney Bowes and the United States Air Force. Anne Kilyanek, student coordinator of "Letters from Home" began the program at Wilkes after hearing of it through AppleLink services. "It started as a tiny project and grew into something big," she said. Anne Kilyanek sends a "Letter from Home" It is preferred that letters be typed directly onto the computers located in the computer center, however, type-written letters may be submitted at a box at the security desk Stark Leaming Center.

Dr. Wagiha Taylor, Professor of Economics, is president of the local Arab American Association. She came to America from Egypt thirty years ago and still travels to Egypt at least once a year. Taylor, who still has family in the Middle East, is concerned about the effect the war will have upon her native land. "Since war broke out, I have been keeping in close contact with my family," she said.

If it does anything, I think it will harm Saddam Hussein in the long run," said Taylor. Taylor recommends that students stay abreast of the current world climate. "Read as much as you can and make sure you are part of the global picture," she said. Basu agrees. "Students must first understand and study other cultures and secondly, they must constantly think through a method of resolving conflicts nonviolently." Both Dr. Um_id Nejib, Dean of the School of Science and Engineering, and Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy, Dean of Graduate Affairs and Continuing Education, have also been called upon for their expert opinions concerning the war. Both appeared on WBRE TV-28 when the Gulf war broke out in early January. desk at the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies in Tel Aviv, Israel. "And people have learned now that they have to take these things seriously. I think it's obvious that in the last day or two the government has been trying to prepare us for a non-conventional attack." That suggests something biological or chemical. Experts still regard a nuclear attack as extremely unlikely. Israel's government this week has been issuing warnings about growing public complacency over use of scaled rooms and gas masks during air-raid alerts. The government adopted regulations making it a violation to be on the streets before an all-clear is sounded, and citations are being issued to people who fail to carry their gas masks. Brig. Gen. Nachman Shai, the defense spokesman known as "the national Valium" because of his calm presence on the airwaves during missile attacks, toughened his tone during Monday night's alert. He kept the alert in effect longer than usual and blistered those who ventured out early. "Apparently, some of you are quite interested in committing suicide. Please do it elsewhere," he said. With the Sukhoi-24s apparently out as a means of delivering chemicals, attention shifted Tuesday to the threat of an attack by the Mirage F-ls, which Iraq used for long-range bombing missions in its war with Iran. During that war, Iraq mastered aerial refueling of the F-ls and struck at Iranian targets as far as 650 miles away. Tuesday CC Meeting, 11 :45 a.m. Bio Club Meeting, 11 a.m. ■ Chemical attacks by Scud missiles are still considered unlikely. Iran has never used them for that, and few experts believe they have the technology to trigger distribution of gas above ground. But "it's certainly not beyond Iran's technical means," said Gold. "They may have achieved it in the months before the war began, and we're just not aware of it." (Richard Price wri1es for USA TODAY.) □ NATIVE, cont. p.1 "During Christmas, troop moral was understandably lowthe men were bored sitting there not knowing what was going to happen," she said. As the deadline approached, however, the soldiers became increasingly more anxious. Before leaving on January 12, Samantha noticed a significant difference. "Moral is high," she said. In light of this, Samantha stressed the importance of stateside backing of the war. "They hear the same news we do, so it's important that we keep up our support." The news that we do see often exceeds safe, ethical standards, in her opinion. "I think the networks Wednesday Resident Assistant Applications due at RLO by 4:30 p.m. SG Meeting, 6:30 p.m. ■ are showing too much," she said. This is not to say that she supports censorship, however. In fact, Samantha can recall times during holiday break when her interest in photography nearly got her into trouble. "I was taking pictures of civilians waiting in line for gasmasks.... they (Arab-American officials) got really uptight about that." Although "Sandy Claus" is now successfully over, Samantha has not stopped her supportive campaign. "I encourage those who received return letters to continue their correspondence with troop members."

' Geisinger® Wyoming Valley Medical Center �PAGE6 JAN.31,1991 'Super years' ahead for America By BRIAN MALINA Beacon Staff Writer Noted columnist Richard Reeves relied on both serious commentary and humorous anecdotes as he presented his lecture "The Berlin Wall and Beyond" to an attentive audience Tuesday evening in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Reeves, an accomplished author and columnist, is regarded as one of the leading commentators on both national and international affairs. While living in E1,1rope and Asia for the past few years, Reeves has reported from more than forty countries in that time. Besides his extensive travelling, Reeves has appeared in nine television films and has won several of American television's major documentary film awards including the Emmy, the Columbia-Dupont Award, and the George Foster Peabody Award. Reeves has also written seven books including the best-selling Convention and American Journey: Traveling with Tocqueville in Search of Democracy in America, and his column appears twice weekly in more than 160 newspapers. A former chief correspondent for The New York Times, he has also served as editor of Esquire and New York magazines. Along with writing pieces for The New Yorker magazine, Reeves is currently working on a biography of John F. Kennedy. Throughout the course of his speech, Reeves touched on many different subjects including the Berlin Wall, the progress of the ·cold war, and the state of American society. As Reeves began to address the issue of the Berlin Wall, he stated that the building of the Wall was beneficial to America at that specific period during the cold war. Reeves expressed his belief that President John F. Kennedy knew about the building of the Wall prior to its execution, but he allowed it to proceed because, according to Reeves, "It would be the beginning of the end of Communism." The eventual crumbling of the Berlin Wall did help to bring about a final end to the cold war. Reeves, however, believes that its falling will give rise to much political disruption and bloodshed until the governments of the new fledging democracies are firmly established. Reeves then continued to lecture on the current status of American society. Contrary to the beliefs of many others, Reeves feels that America is not in a state of social decline, but rather, that it is on an upward trend. · "America is experiencing a siily mid-life crisis," said Reeves. He attributes this "crisis" to the fact that many Americans feel "it is not enough that I succeed, but that my friends must fail." Richard Reeves addresses the audience Tuesday evening Reeves suggested that this mentality coupled apparent economic success of countries like Japan the widespread belief that America is declining. Reeves feels that although there may be hard · for the younger generations, America is "heading t years." He also believes that American society will prosper because "for every one person who stumbles, ten ready to take his place." Seeking help in stressful times By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor WILKES-BARRE- With the recent developments in the Persian Gulf, many young people are concerned about the possibility of a military draft, and they are also confused about their rights and responsibilities if a draft should be instituted. Fortunately, the Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice in coordination with the Wilkes Interfaith Fellowship has developed a program which will help to ease the fears and apprehensions some young people may have concerning the Gulf war. A group of volunteers have established a military counseling service which is aimed directly at those people who have questions concerning their military responsibilities. The center offers materials .explaining suc_h aspects of military service as the draft, enlistment, delayed entry program, active duty reserves, ana draft classifications such as conscientious objector, hardship, medical, and student. According to Selective Service procedures, the first people to be called in the event of a draft would be men who are in the calendar year of their 20th birthday. This would mean that if a draft were to begin this year, men born in 1971 would be called to serve before any other age group. Not only does the center provide resources· for students with apprehensions concerning the possibility of a draft, but it also offers a wide range of information for young people who are considering the military as a career possibility. According to Ned Smith, liaison to the Interfaith Fellowship at Wilkes, although the center advocates a peaceful resolution to the Gulf crisis, the volunteers involved in the military counseling and information services are not trying to influence a young person concerning whether or not the war is just. Instead, the center hopes to provide an individual with enough information to come to a well thought out conclusion. "The current crisis in the Gulf has come to be a life and death situation, and people should be provided with enough input to make a well-informed decision concerning their own possible involvement in the war," Smith said. Smith has spoken to inany Wilkes students and their families in the past few months concerning their options in the event of a draft which includes ways to become a conscientious objector. b Pitera eshman thcr way Canada. A conscientious obJector is defined by the anyone whose moral, ethical, or religious beliefs o to participation in war in any form.

NEXT WEEK'S STAGE DOOR: A Tribute to Rex 'Balance' comes to Sordoni Galle By CAROLYN DOUGLAS Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University's Sordoni Art Gallery has always been on the cutting edge of the art world. The gallery has presented many first-class shows in the past, and the current exhibit is no exception. THE BEACON/Dale Nat A sampling of some "Balance and Assembly" "Balance and Assembly: Lee Levine and Shawn Dulaney" has been on display in the gallery since January 20th and will continue through February 24th. This dynamic exhibit is the product of two very talented artists and consists of both sculptures and paintings. Lee Levine, an architect and large-scale ceramic sculptor, founded the STUDIO in Jul)t.~ 1986. This renovated warehouse provides an environment in which artists can develop both architectural and sculptural projects. Levine's works have been on exhibit throughout the northeastern United States, especially New York and New Jersey. According to Levine, his ceramic and cement forms represent both physical and geographic growths and transformations which define our world. Shawn Dulaney, and artist who lives and works in New York, has studied art in Toronto, England, and California. She claims that her painting process is a truly spontaneous activity because she never · can tell what image will emerge on her canvas. "I don't know the paintings when I first paint them," Dulaney said. Jean Adams, Assistant Director of the Sordoni Gallery, organized the event and has a great deal of respect for the abilities of both artists. "I was impressed with Lee's work, energy, and dedication to his art. I told him we would have a showing of his work and asked him if he knew someone would be compatible with his. He Shawn Dulaney," Adams comme Adams says that the resp showing has been extremely favo "Everyone I have heard from the abilities of the artists. Some love the works, while others app the time and dedication which art." Although a reception and di both artists was held on January exhibit will still be on display unbl 24th for anyone who wishes to ex works of these talented artists. When asked if she would I' these two very talented artists gallery, Adams responded positi said that the gallery must also other artists' works as well. "There are so many qualified we should expose as many as we public," Adams said. The public will have a ch many different forms of art at the next few months. Upcoming e gallery will include two sets exhibitions from March 2nd to and March 16th to March 24th; photographs from the 1930's by Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange 6th to May 5th; and a selection of regional private collections from June 16th.

The Wilkes University basketball team has hit hard times of late. The Colonels record stands at 5-13 overall and 3-8 in the MAC. And just when it looked like the Colonels might put a streak together the team dropped a contest to the Drew University Rangers Monday night at the Marts Center. The Colonels lost to Drew in overtime 83--78. The loss came on the heals of an 80-61 thrashing the Colonels gave the Delaware Valley Aggies last Saturday. The victory over the Aggies snapped an eight game losing streak for Wilkes. Senior guard Eric Lawson scored 25 points in the win to lead the Colonels. The victory in Doylestown was an important MAC win for the Colonels after losing tough games in the past two weeks to rivals King's and Scranton. The game swung back and fourth for thirty eight minutes until Drew took a four point lead. This inspired the Colonels, however.With just eleven seconds left in regulaation, Ray Ottpushcd the ball up court with the Colonels down three. The senior captain found an open John Harlan, who launched a three-pointer with six seconds remaining in the ballgame, and to the delight of the Marts Center crowd, he canned it. Small guy goes high By HARRY BLAUVELT Apple College Information Network In a big man's game, where 7-footers are the measuring stick, diminutive point guard Keith "Mister" Jennings has East Tennessee State standing tall. Only 5-7, he is the Buccaneers' biggest threat, the catalyst for coach Alan LeForce's team. He is the Bucs' little big man. "I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to be 6-2," says Jennings, who dunked last year in a pickup game. "If he'd been 6-2, we'd never have gotten him," says LeForce, whose No.12 Bucs (16-2) defeated Marshall 99-88 Monday night. "He's a once-in-a-lifetime player." Jennings averages 18.6 points a game. He leads the USA in three-point field goal percentage (70.5), is No.6 in assists (8.1), 10th in free-throw percentage (88.9) and 16th in steals (3.1). Last Saturday, Jennings scored 28 points, with six assists, three rebounds and two steals in the Bues' 97-66 victory against Virginia Military Institute. "Have you ever seen a 5-7 kid dominate a game like that?" asked VMI coach Joe Cantafio, whose team plays in the Southern Conference, along with East Tennessee State. "I can't wait for Mister (a senior) to graduate." Jennings has been called "Mister" since he was 6. At a little league football draft, after ignoring his father's calls to leave, his dad snapped, "Mister, get your butt over here." Jennings came to ETSU from Culpeper (Va.) High, where he was a four-season starter for coach Billy Thornhill. In his sophomore season, with seconds left, Jennings stole the ball and dribbled the length of the court for a game-clinching layup against The Citadel in the conference tournament. "Without tl}at play, we wouldn't have gotten · to the NCAA tournament," says LeForce. This season, after the Bucs' 88-79 loss to No.6 Arizona (16-3) in game two, 6-11 Greg Dennis broke his foot in practice. Jennings has picked up some of the scoring slack. "Jennings creates so many problems," says Arizona coach Lute Olson. "It's unusual to see a guy that good a shooter who is also such a good penetrator." Although the Bucs stumbled a week ago against Tennessee-Chattanooga, they have registered some satisfying wins, including James Madison and Cincinnati on the road. But most impressive: 94-91, at home against North Carolina State before a school-record 12,240 at Memorial Center. "I think he is the most underrated point guard in the nation," says North Carolina State guard Chris Corchiani. "He does it all and makes it look easy." Jennings would like to play in the National Basketball Association. There is precedent for little men, namely Charlotte's Tyrone Bogues, 5-3, and Atlan~•s Spud Webb, 5-7. Ott, who had eleven assists in the about the play. "John trailed the play and spotted upa or 24 feet, his man kind of sagged hi probably scared to foul or didn't think he it. But he did, and we didn't take adv getting a second chance in overtime. rou many second chances so it really hurt." The Colonels were unable to gen offense in the overtime period and the Col five points. The Colonels will next take on S tonight, starting at 8:00pm. The Colonels travel to Lycoming on Saturday for ant game. Then, on Wenesday February 5th Ill take on rival Scranton University at home. .................................... •• ••• •• •• recognition have to et in the B is yes, bum team has wn, the wo Denise Ca, team.

She was a member of the team which holds the record for most and is listed among the top ten career for Wilkes Women. Bove has been school basketball at Wyoming Area and is also among the top ten leading scorers for Wilkes. The Lady Colonels lost thier leading scorer from last year, Nicloe Kovaleski. Plus, they only have nine players on the team, makicm it impossible to play five-on-five at practice. Then why arc the Lady Colonels doing so well? Currently they arc ranked second in the MAC boasting an overall record of 13-6, 3-2 MAC-NW'. Could thicr success be contributed to the fact that Wilkes has several players listed among the leaders of the MAC in indi victual statistics? Or is it because they have four players averaging double digits every game? THE BEACON/Dale Nat On January 19, 1991, individual statistics were pu~.lishcd by th~ Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). Juruor center Krista Zoka was third in rebounding with an average of of 11.2 rpg, which now now has her 24th in the country among Division III players. Zoka leads the team in scoring with 14.2 ppg. This past week she was named MAC player of the week along with being selected to the ECAC Honor Roll Team for the week of January 20, 1991. J~nior Denise Carson, the staring point guard, was hsted first among free throw accuracy with a percentage of .857. She also leads the team in assists with 69. Carson was also selected to the Honor Roll Te~ by the ECAC for the-week of January 12,1991, whde scoring an average of 10.6 ppg. Lorrie Petrulsky was ranked tenth in scoring. Recently, she has been sidelined with a knee injury and hopes to return shorty. Petrulsky is tied with Zoka in scoring with an average of 14.2 ppg. This past week the Lady Colonels have resparkcd the flame in their game by coming away with two impressive wins. In both games the women have Denise Carson leads a potent offense for the Lady Colonels. managed to hold their opponents to fifty or less po\Jlts. Th(?ir first win was Wednesday against cross-town rivals Kings College 72-46, while their second win was Saturday against Ccntinary College 78-50. In the game against Kings, Krista Zoka had a very impressive day by scoring 22 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and shooting 6 for 9 from the charity stripe. Missie Chinchar also was a terror, scoring 16 points, hauling down IO rebounds, while chalking up two block shots and four steals. Denise Carson also contributed four steals, five assists and scored double digits by burning the net for 16 points. Despite their great start the Lady Colonels will have a rough road ahead of them if they want to go to playoffs. Five of their next six games are MAC division games. Their first game is tonight, Thursday January 31, at 6 p.m. against the league-leaders Susquehanna University. Their only other home game this season is Saturday February 9, at 4 p.m. against Juniata. Also for those of you who may believe that the Lady Colonels are only "a. flash in a pan," they only lose one senior, Kelly Ruff due to graduation. Therefore, there will be at least an equally talented team representing Wilkes next year. But for now the season is far from over for the Lady Colonels, and they need and deserve the support of everyone here at Wilkes. stling loses to Syracuse Draughts .. . ~tc~ers .. .

Scores were calculated using a Macintosh computer program specially designed by Evans, which allows results to be 'computed faster and more efficiently. Otherwise, the competition was managed exclusively by Wilkes students, with Teresa Hennan serving as the Student Director. "I want the activities to be more student involved. In this way, they can alleviate any problems which arise during the tournament," said Kinney. According to Herman, however, problems in this year's tournament, were minimal. "Overall, I was really pleased .with how smoothly the entire program ran. In fact,we ended 15 minutes ahead of schedule. That has never happened before, she said." By BECKY STEINBERGER Beacon Staff Writer THE BEACON/Jeff LoBalbo STUDENT HELP- Members of the debate team coordinated the speech tournament. Competing from Wilkes were sophmores Holly Evans and Amy Vaughn and freshman Heather Shocker. Vaughn was top seated in two events, poetry and child's literature, received 4th place in poetry and Impromptu, and placed 2nd in kiddy literature. Evans received 1st place in informative, and 3rd in kiddy literature. Other competing schools included Bloomsburg University, California University of Pcnn.sylvania, Thiel College, West Chester University, York College, Monmouth College, Hofstra University and Middlebury College. The Colonial Novice Speech Tournament originated in 1977 at York College in York,Pa. under the leadership of Professor Jeanine Barr.

Moran Commu nications Professo r "I am definitely concerned about students' attitudes toward the print media. So many young people today are just not reading the newspaper. What they do not realize, however, is that they cannot get the whole picture from television or radio. A newspaper, on the other hand, has both the space and Lime to get the whole story," Moran said. Moran is definitely not a newcomer to the newspaper Feb. 7, 1991 industry. His career in journalism, teaching, and public ,relations has spanned nearly 40 years. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Education and English from Bucknell University and a Master of Science degree in Journalism, Moran worked with various media industries and also maintained teaching positions at the college level. His professional media experience began as a reporter for the Ptttsburgh Post Gazelle in 1951. Over the following twenty years, Moran's duties at various newspapers covered almost every aspect of print media, from reporting to news management. After serving in the military on the teaching staff of the lJnited States Army Informational School, Moran returned to professional journalism in 1961 as a reporter for the Times Leader. ' Moran then joined the staff of the Wilkes-Barre Sunday Independent where he eventually became managing editor. Moran has also served as the Northeastern Pennsylvania regional correspondent to the New York Times, and he currently writes a weekly column for the Sunday Independent. ■ See BASICS, page 8 It's back, and bigger than ever. Wilkes annual festival of fun, Winter Weekend, will be held from February 8th through the 10th. The theme of this year's Winter Weekend is "Fairy Tales." Twe'nty-five teams, each consisting of ten boys and ten girls, will kickoff the competition Friday night with opening ceremonies in the Marts Center. A spirit contest, costume judging, and the volleyball tournament will round out the evening's events. On Saturday, teams will report to Ralston Field at 9:00 a.m. to participate in _ blind . basketball, dodge ball, amaeba, keg roll, and roll in the sack race. Sunday's events will include the bat spin and line race, followed by the closing ceremonies. First place finishers will be awarded trophies, the second place team will receive medals, and third place will receive certificates. Past success of the annual event has caused Student Government to increase the number of teams by five. According to Michael Nolfe, Director of Student Activities, "Five hundred students will be involved on twenty-five teams making this year's Winter Weekend the largest ever." With a $2 per person entry fee, $1000 has been raised and will be donated to WNEP-TV's "Operation Yellow Ribbon," a project which benefits the families of those serving in the Persian Gulf.

JOB HUNTI NG- Students can employers with vital information. Taxes no longer as taxing ■ VITA students offer free income tax assistance By Missy Margus Beacon Staff Writer The headaches and stress often associated with tax season can be significantly reduced for some people, thanks to a continuing program offered by Wilkes Accounting majors. . Free income tax assistance is available to the public as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program which is co-sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. ,____-_-_-_-_-_-_---_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-:._-=- ·~ "\ N- FEB.7,1991 PAGE2 VITA is now entering it's 7th year at Wilkes, according to Ms. Cynthia Chisarick, Associate Professor of Accounting at Wilkes and coordinator of the program. "The students have made it a success. Without student participation there wouldn't be a program," she said. Approximately twenty students have volunteered their time to work with VITA, including two student coordinators, Robert Hawkins and Kim Mattes. The volunteers, mostly juniors, have completed an IRS training course in basic income tax preparation offered at Wilkes. Chisarick believes the program is equally beneficial to the students, as well as the public. "It's a good opportunity for the students to deal with people," she said. Chisarick feels students have several other advantages in volunteering for the VITA program. In addition to the benefit of offering their service to the community, VITA volunteers also gain an opportunity to realistically apply what they have learned in the classroom. The service is available to Wilkes students, the elderly, and low-income individuals from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Feb. 9 and 23 and March 2, 9, and 16. Volunteers will be on hand in room 214 of the Marts Center. Taxpayers seeking assistance are advised to bring this year's tax package, wage and earnings statements (Form W-2) from all employers, interest statements from banks (Form 1099), a copy of last year's return if possible, and any other information that may be relevant. a ■ 1n a waitir y be hol ublic su1 uld- havf messag dad radi rist camp fessional I, say sen ge: "Imp A recently distributed incorrectly lists that commencement exe to begin at 4:00 p.m. startiflg time for cere be 2 :00 p.m. on t Saturday, May 25. ---------------.:,__--------------=.;.;.J ====-========== L.:,____.:._....c...2---------.:::::;;.;.;..:,__~.;,;...;;:.:------:.:::..;.;..:,__.:..__ _ _ ____:_____ -----------------. ■ Friday Winter Weekend Saturday Winter Weekend Men's B'ball - FDU-Madison, 2 p.m. Women's B'ball - Juniata, 4 p.m. Wrestling - Franklin & Marshall, (A) 7:30 p.m. ■ re takini not j ust p istraro, official. nown i, ped Iraqi securit) ments oJ Sunday Winter Weekend Monda �FEB. 7, 1991 PAGE3 e other 'raging fire': the Soviet dilemma Saddam Hussein combats the the freedom-fighting Alliance, a thcr land struggles through a nd of war, a battle to hold cning nation.

The political climate has changed to a "less tolerant, less cooperative" attitude. This shift to conservative ideals is a step backwards, according to Karpinich. "Gorbachov finally has faced a · crossroads in Glasnost- the reformists have stepped out of power. We (in sending United States aid) are supporting something which no longer proceeds upon the same path, " he said. The lack of food, evidence of a failing economy, is but one factor of a broader issue, according to Karpinich. "Gorbachev is losing his sphere of influence." With the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia wishing to gain sovereignty, the Soviet Army has resorted to force in attempting to "keep the status quo," accoding to Karpinich. Throughout all of this, the United States has maintained a position of diplomacy, not wishing to lose Soviet support of its own cause. Yet the Soviet situation remains a primary world concern, along with the Gulf situation. "These issues are the two raging fires of today," said Karpinich. By JUSTIN BURKE Apple College Information Network MOSCOW Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev turned up the tension on independence-minded republics Tuesday, declaring Lithuania' s upcoming referendum illegal. Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis insisted the non-binding ballot would be held as planned Sunday - setting the stage for another confrontation with the Kremlin. "Lithuania is in observance of law," Landsbergis said in a statement, "and views the president's decree as impermissible political interference in the matters of the sovereign Lithuanian state." What wasn't immediately clear: whether Gorbachev would take steps to prevent the polling or would let the vote proceed and ignore the results. President Bush said Tuesday he believes Gorbachev remains in control of his government and doesn't think the perestroika era is over: "I think it will never go back, no matter what happens, to the totalitarian, closed society days of the Cold War," Bush said. ddam may sti ll be Jding his terrorist card cently distribut rrectly lists nencement ex gin at 4:00 p.m ng time for cef :00 p.m. on rday, May 2 The Lith uanian vote complicates Gorbachev's efforts - which have taken a harsh, conservative tone in recent weeks to keep the union together.

The Baltic states and Georgia have so far said they won't take part in any vote for the new union treaty. The Lithuanian government announced last month it would poll citizens on whether to include a sentence in its constitution declaring Lithuania to be a sovereign, democratic state. The republic's drive toward independence turned bloody last month when at least 13 unarmed civilians were killed by troops attacking broadcast facility in Vilnius. Gorbachev has accused the Lithuanian parliament of acting unconstitutionally while trying to secure independence. He insists the republic must go through a five-year transition to independence.

I wa~ up four flights of stairs to keep in shape only to have smoke blown in my face when I'm "sucking wind" at the top. Why aren't the ashtrays in the hallways? Second, why, if someone - gets caught drinking or fighting off-campus, in an apartment, disciplinary action occurs? According to the Financial Aid Office, offcampus housing is a separate unit from the school; therefore, financial aid is not applicable to off.campus housing. Isn't this a double standard? Third, does it take so long to get things done on ·campus? One year ago I approached the bookstore man- ager about the sign outside the bookstore. Three letters were upside down. She stepped outside, laughed, and said she'd get ABM right on it. Six months later, I infom1ed a dean about the situation, still to no avail. It is not just the upside down letters, it is the principle of the matter. Why don't the faculty listen to student-s. Mike Fontinell The student also has to learn to get along with o in the rooms around him. He may have to deal parties or music while he is trying to study. A certain such as this is usually rectifiable because the person ca disturbance may want to be friends as well. By the time the student gets through college, he, maturity, will most likely learn to respect the pri personal rights around him and expect the same treat others. Why, then, when we're supposed to be tolerant habits of those around us, are we so afraid of homos as the technical terminology states, homophobia. Since the beginnings of civilization, all hum homosexual preferences have been shunned, se against, maltreated, and even mistreated. Today, li changed. The issue is not only with the homosexuals, but people with religious preferences who have been against. These people merely wish to practice their peace, without being harassed by the so-called "purists.

He was one of the first cadets in his class that I really got to know as the Flight Commander of the freshmen, and he was always one of the last to leave if I needed help in any form. He most certainly would have been a welcome addition to the Air Force Academy, had his physical condition not prevented him from attending. With all of this going for him, why, then, did you allow such a promising young man to end his earthly existence? I know that we shouldn't question decisions such as these, but I see no logical reason for his death. There are certainly plenty of people who, most would agree, would better serve the human race by being in Dave's place now. A person that comes to mind is the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Nevertheless, when things began to get unbearable for Dave, why couldn't you have at least given him some help? All of us need a helping hand at one time or another, and if you offered this to him I apologize, but it just doesn't seem possible that help was _offered to a person who only offered of himself. I only wish that he would have thought a little more before he made his decision. I guess, though, that Dave must have felt that he had given all that he had to give. Thus, with nothing left but darkness, he made the decision that will stay with some of us for quite sometime. I can't imagine that those of us who knew Dave are going to forget him. Those who didn't know this outstanding person, however, have really missed out. He was an excellent student, leader, and overall person. I would like to ask a favor from you. Allow others to learn from Dave's passing. There will be others who go through the same mind-set as Dave's that allow for thoughts of ending it all. Please, I beg of you, offer a helping hand, to allow them to make a drffercnt decision. Don't let Dave's death go forgotten. I know that there is nothing that could possibly happen to someone whose problems can be worked out. It's the others out there that don't know what I'm worried about. The problems that we get ourselves into today arc also the ones that we get ourselves out of eventually. That is the reason that I wish that Dave held on for just a little while longer. Good-bye, Dave. Wilkes will always miss you! Respectfully yours, Christopher Augustine P.S.

Any student, however, can tell you that college life is not as simple as it seems. In fact, college students today face many problems which can make it difficult to cope with everyday life. There are, however, various ways in which the burden of college life can be eased. Organizations such as the Campus Counseling Center were created to alleviate some of the pressures common among college students. These organizations focus upon depression, anxiety, and other personal problems commonly associated with college life. Another alternative which students can consider as they face the problems of college life is the Help Line.

For this reason, I was very eager to read the book which he had completed shortly before his untimely death at the age of eighty-two. . When actor Sir Rex Harrison died last May, he left behind him a legacy of great performarices on both stage and screen. Best known for his award-winning performance as the crusty professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, in "My Fair Lady," Harrison was tagged the undisputed king of high comedy. The late Sir Noel Coward once said of Sir Rex, "Harrison is the greatest actor of sophisticated comedy ... next to me." A Damned Serious Business by Rex Harrison is not an acting book. Harrison believed that no one could "teach" a person how to act. His delightful memoir recounts how Harrison developed his unique, naturalistic style of acting. Harrison despised what is known as "method acting," and he tells how he had once done a play filled with method actors. The play was the first production of Chekov's "Platanov." Harrison said that the audience never understood the humor of Chekov in the 20th century since the humor was always downpl~yed by grumbling, grunting, and heavy-handed acting. Harrison's performance of "Platanov," however, revived interest in As you can tell, I admired Rex Harrison Chekov because he indeed brought out the very much, and I believe a young actor can humor in him. learn a lot by observing his many Sir Rex's book is more than a narrative, performances. it's a warm, funny, and touching book filled SERIOUS BUSINESS-- Actor Rex Ha.rrison and h~ Palmer in Bell, Book, and Candle. with antecdotes concerning Harrison's close including the Olivers, Robert Coote, Noel C Richard Burton. My advice to any actor who wishes to be comfortable with his profession, or just wants to feeling like he has spent an evening with one of acclaimed actors of our century, should pick up book which indeed confirms that comedy is "a d business." 111:11111::11:srnlmufl \ ■ BASICS, cont. p.1 Moran stresses the print media Following a ten year span as President and Chief Administrative and Education Officer of Luzerne County Community College, Moran joined the Wilkes University faculty last September. In addition to his full class schedule last semester, Moran ~lso delivered ~he keynote address at the fITst annual High School Journalism Institute of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Edit~rs and Advisors at Tunkhannock Area 1Iigh School. Moran's focus in his address was the overall importance of print media journalism. Moran is now attempting to bring an interest in print media back to students at Wilkes University. Along with encouraging his communications students to write for the campus and local newspapers. Moran has also begun work to create a chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) on the Wilkes campus. "Both the faculty and administration here at Wilkes would like to work to build our Communications Department into on of the largest and best in the northeastern quadrant of the country," Moran said. Moran feels that part of the reason for the decline of enthusiasm for print media stems from a general misconception about the industry. He claims that many students are drawn to the glamour of electronic media, and they forget about the tremendous impact of newspapers. 'Tm going to try to steal as many electronic media people as I can. What they do not realize is that behind every successful anchorperson, there is a newsroom full of writers," Moran stated. Moran also fe~ls that the job of the ~ewspaper and the entire communications 1~dustry has become e_v~n _more important in hght of the current cn s1s m the Gulf. With very little experience in in-depth w ar · coverage, the communications field must adapt to this new situation. lit!ll!lll\11111 "'fhis is heady stuff. The entire communications industry is undergoing a performance test with this crisis. · We're now covering the war on the tail end of a patriot missle." Moran says, however, that his greatest joy co_mes from teaching and placing his hopes m students who he knows will rise to the top. "So much of our lives depend upon communication, and I want to try to impress upon students the importance of print media. The field is wide open, and they will definitely get far more out of it than they put in." r--..r..cr..r...co--.,.q-...,....,...r..r.r.r..r..r..r..r..r.r..r..r..r.r...,...-cr✓..r..r..r..r~ S·liii 8 8 § 8 S § 8 § § =--=:,,---"""":""'=----=,........, ,,.,,..-oiA;;.. ~ § § § § § § § § S § § ! ~ 8§ R ~ ~ § 1l1 8 tl § 8 § § § § § j § ~ § § ~ R ~ 1 and iS § 8 § SIS R THE BEACON/Dale N~t K BELL TOWER- A different perspective of Wilkes.

RAINEY Beacon Staff Writer When Jimmy Burke took the floor for last Saturday's basketball game against Lycoming he may not have been ready for what was about to happen. The Warriors certainly were not. During the game Burke travelled to a zone not many athletes visit in their entire careers. If he was a baseball pitcher Burke would have delivered a perfect game. Instead, the senior shooting guard, who transferred from Susquehanna this year, scored forty points in-the Colonels 88-73 win. Asked about his performance, which included eight of ten from three point land, Burke said it was almost dreamlike. "Everything went right," said Burke. "All the shots I took went in. I scored 25 points in a game as a sophomore at Susqehanna, but I've never had anything like this happen to me." Although Burke scored almost half of the Colonels points, he did not win the game single-handedly. Joe Natale had twenty points and thirteen rebounds and Eric Lawson chipped in ten. Burke spoke about how Wilkes' inside game played a role in his scoring outburst. "Wlien Lycoming's players collapsed on Joe and Phil Marko that let me open to take some three pointers." One person excited about Burke's performance was Colonels coach Ron Rainey, who gave the guard high praise. "I've never seen a Wilkes player shooting from three point range with such consistency before," said Rainey. "Once Tim Marose (Lycoming's leading scorer) cooled off, Jimmy stepped up and did a tremendous job." The victory gave the colonels a two game winning streak as earlier in the week Wilkes shut down Susquehanna 90-78. In the game against the Crusaders, Wilkes had five players in double figures. Eric Lawson led the way with twenty four, Ray Ott had a career high nineteen, Marko and Burke tallied sixteen, and Natale scored ten. The victory showed that Wilkes could play with one of the better teams in the MAC (Susquehanna was 8-4 in the MAC). It also buoyed the Colonel coaching staff who are still positive when speaking about the season. "We're better than our record indicates," said Rainey. "We had some injuries that hurt us (Ott, Chris Patackis, and Tom Sheplock all suffered serious injuries during the year). Still, our young people have improved over the year and they make the future look bright. I hope we can finish up strong for our home crowd who has supported us all year." The Colonels are now 7-14 overall and 4-8 in the MAC. Wilkes will now look to play the role of spoiler as they host one of the best in the MAC Saturday when they take on FDU-Madison at 2:00 at the Marts Center. This game is also Senior day as the Colonels honor Ott, Lawson, and Burke before the game. After FDU, Wilkes plays their last home game of the year Monday at 7:30 when they host Delaware Valley. As the season winds down the Colonels hope Jimmy Burke can take a trip back to that elusive travel spot known as the scoring zone, and if he does he may help the men's basketball team find a home in the winning column. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • : • •• • : • : •• • ••• •• ••• •• •• •• •• •• •• • •• •• •• •• •• •• •• at HAR.R.IG~fN'S PU/3 Ster/ Ing H-otel W. ~,ark.et Street, Wilk.es-/3arre HAR.R. /GAN'S LAT€ N 11€ SPEC t,4L8 neon a Cbeese Platter ........... ..... ........... $2.

A range of educators, from kindergarten teachers to college professors, are scheduled to attend the day-long conference which will be held on Wilkes and Kings' campuses. Teachers, area business people, and local service organizations will offer 260 workshops on topics ranging from educational ethics, to one of the most popular seminars, data processing. The conference theme is "Inventing the Future: Teaching and Leaming in an Information Age." Dr. Rosemary Williams "The teachers and administrators will discuss common challenges in teaching and learning and address national issues in relationship to the region," said Rosemary Williams, Director of Extension Programs for Teacher Education at Wilkes. Williams also feels the conference could benefit Wilkes students. "We . encourage education majors to take a look at the presentations. Over 300 hours of instruction will be available," she said. Because of the magnitude of Project LEARN, local business people have provided parking and a shuttle system to accomodate the busloads of teachers and administrators that will converge upon the five-block area. Project LEARN was theorized one year ago, when area school superintendents and college presidents of the Education Leadership Council, discovered the need for local educators to work together . in sharing techniques and discussing problems. lf~ij® W®®fk ~ii \\Afij~fk®® February 15 - 19 . ."......... .. . ...., ..... . ...... • ft • • • nounceme1 r N.

The proposed 1990-91 budget, which was submitted to the state legislature last Wednesday, includes an increase of $188 million for basic education, which is "the single biggest increase in the budget," according to Casey. "We can't afford not to invest in education.... The budget is people, our conscience. It defines our priorities. Education is clearly one of the top priorities," he said. Higher education would also benefit from the proposed budget, with $1.3 billion allocated for colleges, universities, and students through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. This lOpercentjumpinscholarship funds represents a 55 percent total increase within a period of five years, according to Casey. Smokers would suffer most under the proposed budget, with a substantial increase on the cost of cigarettes. "It's the tobacco lobby on one side and the people on the other.

One of the largest complaints coming from community is, unsurprisingly, the parking situation. freshµian year in 1988, I have noticed the parking campus has been nothing less than unbearable.

Some students may only have the night to get done. It's not fair that they're locked out of a facility are required to use as part of their instruction. It might be a good idea if the school took time to needs of the students. True, certain needs, like the parking lot, cost money. There is, though, an ob· has to be filled fm the students.

Well those rumors are true. The Pick-Ups, a band composed of local musicians, will supply the sounds which go with the message. The Pick-Ups is composed of Donny Shappelle, rhythm guitar, vocals and songwriting; Len Kishel, lead guitar and vocals; Bebop Walt, bass and harmonica; and "Madman" Mark Marshall on drums. Shappelle describes the sound of the group as a mix between various musical styles. "It's sort of a blues-folk-rock-n-roll sound, and we play songs which mean something,"-he said. The band's live performances only add to its unique sound. "We iry to be our own band with our own sound. We go for the feeling. When we play other people's material we interpret their songs with our own ideas," Shappelle said. The Pick-Ups were formed about seven months ago, but don't l~t that fool you, the members themselves have been involved with music and each other in excess of ten years. The fact that the band has not been together for very long does not mean that its live performances are not "together." "We try to be a tight, lively band. We try to get people up and going. People who hear us will have a real good time. If they want to just listen theycan,iftheywantto dance, they can do that too," Shappelle said.

By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor As the excitement of Christmas slowly fades and the winter gets longer and colder, many people tend to get depressed by the winter months. There is one holiday, however, which puts some of the spark back into the hearts of many people: Valentine's Day. Everyone knows that Valentine's Day is a time of yea.r when friends and lovers express their affection for each other through cards, candy, and flowers, but no one is really sure who St. Valentine was or when the holiday actually began to be celebrated. Early lists of Church martyrs show that at least three different Valentines existed, and each of these saints celebrate his feast day on February 14th. Many legends have also been circulated concerning Valentine. Some claim he was imprisoned, and while in jail, he cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. Another story, however, claims that he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and sent her a letter which ·he signed, "From your Valentine." • coming wooWi The various myths and legends concerning Valentine eventually evolved into one. Lovers' quarrels are said to come under his jurisdiction, and he is also the patron saint of engaged couples. By RICHARDYAB Beacon Staff Writer THE BEACON/Dale Nat When the English settlers came to the New World, they brought the traditions of Valentine's Day with them, but the unsteady conditions of the frontier hindered the customs from taking root. There was not an overabundance of women in the colonies, and even if a bachelor was luc;ky enough to buy one for a hundred pounds of tobacco, any signs of affection in public were often punishable by law. Prior to the 18th century, there were only a few ~implistic valentine cards which were exchanged among some of the colonists. After 1723, however, the custom began to ·grow with the import of valentine "writers" from England. These writers contained a vast array of verses and messages which could be copied onto giltedged letter paper or other decorative sheets. LOVE-What does Valentine's Day mean to you? has lost its sentimentality and roCommercial valentines came mance. out about 1800 and by 1840, they "Valentine's Day is still an became even more sophisticated. expression of love, but it has changed in form.

Royalty to perform at King's Over its long theatrical history, King's College Department of Theater Arts has presented virtually every one of Shakespeare's plays in existence. Visiting director Joe Kerrigan, however, has chosen as his production the seldom seen Life and Death of King John. Not only is this the first time the King's players will perform King John, but it is also my first performance in one of Shakespeare's serious dramas. Having run the gamut of comedic old men in plays like The Merry Wives of Windsor, it will be both a pleasure and a challenge to appear in King John. Kerrigan, a King' s graduate, is well known in local theater circles. Besides performing with Scranton Public Theater, Actor' s Circle, and Showcase Theater, Kerrigan has also performed in a number of television plays. Although King John is often listed as a historical play, the drama has many elements of tragedy. Kerrigan hopes that by playing up the tragic aspects of thedrama he can give a new interpretation to o ne o f Sh a k es peare's most overlooked works. In order to give the play a new "look," Kerrigan and designer Brother Jim Miller have decided to perform King John inafour-sidedarenainstead of the traditional Shakespearean thrust stage used by the King's players. The plot of King John concerns deceit, war, and succession to the throne. The drama centers around John , the only remai ning son of King Henry II. After the death of his b rot hers, R ichard a n d Geoffrey, John becomes the crow n ed regent of England. Kin g Philip of France, however, supports the right of young Prince Arthur (Geoffrey' s son) to claim the throne. In the meantime, a bastard so_n of the late King Richard surfaces and stakes his claim for the throne. This confusion poses yet another question: What defines a king? Is it title, pregenature, or worth? The large cast of King Jo hn includes many stage veterans and a host of newcomers. Starring as King John is veteran King's player Eric Kawaleski. I will take on the role of King Philip, while Steve Lewis will play the bastard son and Mike Moore has the role of the Dauphin. Tim Trach will portray the Duke of Austria and David Shock will play Cardinal Pandaulph. Newcomers to the King's stage include Jeanne Krefski as Lady Constance, Jennifer Margis as Q ueen Elinor of Aquataine, Kathleen Radnai as Blanch, and Mary Claire Gianelli as young Prince Arthur. Other members of the cast include Bridget O ' Brien, Mike Hannon, Kevin Anton, Cheryl Catina; and Michael Pawilkowski. King John opens March 6th and runs through March 9th.

RAINEY Beacon Staff Writer During the football season tight-end Kieth Jackson wrote a rap song about his Philadelphia Eagles. The Wilkes Colonels men's basketball team may be calling Jackson to see if they can adopt the tune entitled "Coming Back Hard." The title could be the best way to describe the Colonels, who have won five of their last seven ball games, including two M.A.C. games in a row. Over the weekend, while most students were busy with the Winter Weekend Party, the Colonels hosted . their own party and had a grand old time, dismantling FDU-Madison, a team tied for 1st in the MAC and sporting an 18-3 record overall, by a score of 82-71. On Monday night, the Colonels set three. scoring records in a 127-70 victory ov.er the Delaware Valley Aggies on Monday night. The two victories pushed the Colonels record to 9-15 and 6-6 in the MAC. While the playoffs are out of the question for Wilkes, the team played the role of spoilers when they beat FDU Saturday. The Jersey Devils had lost only two MAC games before coming to the Marts Center. The Colonels took it to them on the day Wilkes honored their three seniors, Ray Ott, Eric Lawson, and Jimmy Burke. The seniors were workmanlike as Lawson and Burke scored fifteen points each and Ott had five rebounds and four steals. But it was Sophomore center Joe Natale who rose to the occasion for the Colonels, scoring twenty two points, pulling down eleven rebounds, and blocking three shots. "We knew this game would be a big challenge because Madison is an established team," said Ott, pointing to the future. "This win will help our young guys and give them the confidence they need to play with anybody in this league." The win against FDU gave the Colonels some confidence while going into their showdown with Delaware Valley on Monday. No one, though, was ready for the offensive - onslaught Wilkes would unleash during the game'. The Colonels broke the old record established in 1957 for most points in a game (118) by recording a whoppi11g 127 points. They set the record for most points in a half, with 72 in the second frame. The Colonels also broke the old field goal mark of 49, turning in one better for the ball game. The Colonels jumped on top early and never looked back. Sparked by their running game, Wilkes took a 40-10 lead on the Aggies after eight minutes of play. "I think when we get our running game going we have one of the best breaks in the league," said The Be Lawson. "Delaware Valley tried to go up tempo with us early but we just couldn't miss early." 8-BALL ABILITY - Ray Ott dribbles downcourt against Lawson led the Colonels with twenty six points. Coach Rainey was pleased with the performance of his l Burke had twenty one, Natale thirteen, John Mahasky in the victory. twelve on six for six shooting which included a one handed dunk, and John Harlan eleven.

The workshops were very well organized, helpful, and useful," Galicki said. Along with the professionalism of the conference and the coming together of educators, Galicki found Dr. Proctor's address most impressive. "Head and shoulders above all the workshops was the effectiveness of Dr. Proctor to captivate the audience of 1,800 educators." ■ The success of Project LEARN was a surprise to Galicki. ..My first reaction was I thought it would become and it was an administrative nightmare to try and coordinate all those individuals into all those workshops.

Thursday, February 21, at the Kingston Armory, Poison played in cpncert with Slaughter as their opening band. The concert was mobbed with all sorts of people, including children, teens, college students, and even the older generation. The show was a complete sellout and a big succe~s. Opinion by .. ,: ·Lisa Duncan & Scott Romano Both bands expressed their feelings about the war. Poison dedicated the song "Something to Believe In" to the men and women serving in the Gulf, and the bands conveyed a message of peace to the fans. While both bands gave a exceptional performance, there were a few drawbacks in the concert: The first problem was the view of the stage. No mat. ter what vantage point you tried to get at, the fans would not let you move to see the stage. Someone stated, "If I wanted to hear the music, I would have stayed home and listened to their tape." If the armory did something to adjust the seating level on the floor, maybe everyone could enjoy the concert. Another problem was the security situation. Not only were they rude, but also uncooperative. After the concert, I asked for an interview with Poison. Security responded, said that if the interview was not prescheduled it was denied. It seemed that the only people let in after the show were either workmen who had no identification on them,·and the girls in short skirts. Yet, according to security, they had no time for interviews. Well, folks, one place we definitely can't get con the acclaimed Wilkes University Farley Library.

Winning ·Guitarist Performs By JEAN NEPA Beacon Staff Writer By BRIAN MALINA Beacon Staff Writer Classical guitarist David Burgess mystified all who attended his hour long performance at Rumours Sunday night. Burgess' performance ·was divided into two parts, The first half traced the history of Spanish music, beginning with some of the oldest known guitar music, composed during the time of Columbus. This initial part of the performance also included works from the Spanish Baroque period, fiery Flamencos of the Andalucian gypsies, as well as works by the 20th century Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. During the second half of his performance, Burgess performed a collection of South American and Latin American music some of which included Indian melodies of the Andean Indians and music from the Argentine Pampas. The concert was the first of a series of performances which will be presented at Rumours this semester by Wilkes Programming Board. Burgess began studying guitar at the Institute de Arte Guitarristico in Mexico City where he studied under Argentine guitarist Manuel Lopez Ramos. After receiving his Diploma di Merito, he received a full scholarship to the Accademi:: Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy. Burgess has received many awards for his playing including top honors in competitions such as the Ponce International in Mexico, the Guitar '81 Competition in Toronto, and the 31st International Music Competition in Munich. He is also the fust recipient of the prestigious Segovia Fellowship. Burgess currently lives in New York City and has performed in Town Hall, Carnegie Recital Hall and at Lincoln Center. His music has also been recorded for both the Musical Heritage Society and CBS Masterworks. Traditional African-American songs, singing games and other classic Black Southern folk music echoed throughout Geis Hall last Friday, when the Voices of the Folk brought to life a rich sample of their ancestral culture. Among the musical forms born in · the New World out of African tradition and performed by Voices of the Folk are religious folk songs, work songs, and singing games in which the audience is called upon to participate. Voices of the Folk gets the audience to act out situations during these singing games and also leads the audience in call and response songs. The Voices of the Folk are favorites among children. The group performs in schools throughout the year, as well as for festival, concert and coffeehouse audiences of all ages.

It comes from fossils , pot shards, and relics, yet it is never more convincing than when it comes from the voices of men. On Saturday, February 23, Loften Mitchell, Frederick O'Neal, and Dick Campbell personalized the events of history by sharing their experiences. They presented a symposium, directed by Dr. Bonnie Bedford and jointly sponsored by Wilkes University and the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, to celebrate February as Black History Month. The audience of approximately 200 heard "more than mere observances", according to Wilkes President Dr. Breiseth. They experienced "history retold by three men there to shape and change it" Veterans of the theater and crusaders against racism, Mitchell, O'Neal and Campbell candidly spoke of their encounters with discrimination. O'Neal, the fust black president of Actors' Equity Association, recalled a time when blacks were not accepted as members in the union of the acting profession, only sold tickets for the balcony of Washington's National Theater, and how to cope with and refused travelling accomodations.

They will be heading for Cancun, Mexico, where the sun is hot and the beer is cold, travel agents report. "Cancun, that's the place to go; that's the 'in' spot," says Margie Likert, an agent with Boersma Travel in Ann Arbor, Mich. "Cancun is hot," echoes Jill Batzer, an agent with Defoe Travel Service in Birmingham, Mich. "The value of the dollar in Mexico is so good, and the college kids like that." They also like the fact that other college kids are going there, says Batzer. Kids attract kids. Other reasons for Cancun's popularity: "It has the nicest beaches and clearest waters you'll see," says Batzer. "It's one of the top scuba diving spots in the world. You don't need a car there." Those traveling to Cancun can expect to pay anywhere from $550$700 for one week, including air fare and hotel, says Marcia Margeson, an agent with Hudson's Travel Service in Ann Arbor., Mich. Other "in" spring break destinations for college kids: South Padre Island, Texas (it's been a favorite for the last three years); the Bahamas; and Acapulco, Mexico. Florida also still has .a following, say travel agents. At the University of Virginia, the student council office gets flooded at this time of year with advertisements for spring break destinations. "Florida. is very popular, but there have been ads for places like Cancun, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and Jamiaca," says Lee Barnes, president of UVA's Student Council. Spring breaks begins at the university on March 8, after classes. How do students on tight budget afford exotic spring break trips to the Caribbean? "I've seen students work all year long, in the gym, babysitting, doing whatever they can to save for If you thought that finding a color Macintosh" system you could afford was just a dream, then the new, affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true. The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds. Llke every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple"SuperDrive~ which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/ 2, and Apple II floppy disks. Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh. that one week in the sun," says Barnes.

And last but not least we have the cast. In a college musical you will get all types of cast members: actors who don't sing, singers who don't act, dancers that sing but don't act, or any other combination. It is the job of the three directors to show them off at their best and to improve upon their performing weaknesses. As you may have heard by now the Wilkes University Music,Theatre,Dance Department is going all out during rehearsals for a full scale musical. Sandy Wilson's "The Boyfriend" will be presented this weekend at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. The show is under the direction of Dr. Michael O'Neil.

He was beaten by Michigan's two time Ali-American Larry Goucher. Despite this, Neal took in the rest of the matches and enjoyed his time spent around the best college grapplers in the country. He felt no need to sulk. After all, just a week before he placed third in the Easterns. No one expected him to be there. When he lost a close 4-1 decision to Goucher, Neal lost no sleep. Surely there was no shame losing to a two time AllAmerican in your first trip to the Nationals.

An Anti-Drug March and. Pep Rally will be held on Friday, April 19, in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Over 4,000 area youngsters are expected to attend the forth annual anti-drug events which are sponsored by the NEPA council of the Boy Scouts and local businesses. A morning rally consisting of 4th and 5th grade students will be held at 10: 15 a.m. The evening rally will begin at 7 p.m. with a march from Public Square to the King's College Gymnasium. At 7:30 p.m. there will be a pep rally titled "Drugs: A Deadly Game" in the King's Gym. Following the rally , Tommy Conwell will be featured in a free concert. "College students don't have to give money in order to contribute to a good cause," said Matthew Hanlon, a member of the Public Relations Staff at Boscov's. "Last year the 4,000 kids at the rally really inspired me. Just hearing them shout, 'Just say no' and Tm drug free' motivated me to stay involved in anti-drug activities," he said. Fifty student volunteers from Wilkes University and King's College are needed to help with crowd control for the morning and evening rallies.

SEATTLE, Wash. - A sixth tampered Sudafed box was discovered on Tacoma store shelves Tuesday- fueling fears of more cyanide· poisonings in the Puget Sound area. "There are enough crazy people out in the world, that if it's not one thing it's another," said Tom Baker, manager of a Tumwater auto supply store.

Since February, two people have died of cyanide poisoning, apparently after taking Sudafed 12-hour Capsules.

Deadline: March15, 1991 �MAR.7,1991 PAGE6 Martial Arts club: not just for kic By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor You're walking back to your dorm or to your car one evening following a night class. Suddenly, you feel a bit uneasy and you realize that someone may be following you. What if this person were to come up behind you and attack you? Would you know what to do to defend yourself? Most of us would probably answer no to this question because many of us do not know the first thing about se'lf-defense. There is, however, a club right here on campus which can help students to become better aware of self-defense methods. Wilkes' Martial Arts club isn't just for people who know karate. In fact, the club has even scheduled demonstrations for students who want to learn more about karate and, more importantly, self-defense. Many students are put off by the club because they feel that if they join, they have to learn karate. Just the opposite is true. Many of the club's current members are not "experts" in karate, they simply joined to learn basic self-defense and exercise. Maria Antonishak joined the club for this specific reason. Since she had classes late at night in the Marts Center and would sometimes not leave the building until 10 p.m., she became afraid to walk to her car alone. Antonishak decided to join the Martial Arts club to learn selfdefense and has since become a very active member of the club. "I learned self-defense, and more importantly, confidence from the club. At first, I was afraid to walk alone at night, but now I know that I can at least defend myself and get away from an attacker," Antonishak said. According to President Shawn Palchetti, the Martial Arts club is designed to cater to the needs of students who want to practice their specific forms of martial arts, but it is also aimed at students who simply wish to learn self-defense and participate in a good exercise program. "The club is very informal," Palchetti said, "We try to provide students with a relaxed atmosphere to promote a good learning experience." members and to teach Wilkes students the basics of self-defense, the club has held demonstrations which were very successful in the past. They are currently working to organize another demonstration on March 17th. "Tqe demonstrations are designed to be an educational activity. At our demonstration last November, a total of 5 dorms participated, and there are already 6 dorms signed up for the upcoming one," Palchetti said. Not only will the club be depicting the more exciting part of karate at the demonstration, but they plan to teach students how to defend themselves against various types of attackers. The members are also planning to hold an open forum session in which students can ask questions or express their worries about self-defense. For those students who are actively involved in the martial arts, the club is an excellent place to practice their forms and to learn from other members. "Theclubcanbestbedescribed as a supermarket of ideas," said Palchetti, "If you're into martial arts this is the best place to THE BEACON SPARRING- Members of the Martial Arts club showoff improves mental con things from the other members."

"It's almost like being with people from different countries," Wartella said, "Belonging to the club allows me to learn from the different styles of martial arts."

The process of transferring Shakespeare's plays has been a touchy issue since the advent of motion pictures. The first major production was the atrocious Mary Pickford/Douglass Fairbanks production of The Taming of the Shrew which added scenes from modern writers to a play which needed no help with humor. the Shrew for the screen. Although Shrew suffered from the terrible miscasting of Elizabeth Taylor as Kate, Romeo and Juliet was a beautiful film. Zefferelli's latest effort is the recent production of Hamlet. With a group of actors renowned on both stage and screen, Zefferelli has created a captivating and colorful film.

Besides traveiing to the traditional resorts of Daytona Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, many , students will be packing their bags _and hitting the beaches of places like Los Angeles, Corpus Christi, Texas, and Panama City. To help students decide which resort will best suit their spring break needs, Beachlife communications has developed the "Spring Break Beach Hotline." The Hotline gives callers information on' everything from sporting events, concerts, and celebrity appearances to current and projected weather and beach and surf condition~. The Hotline number is 1-900-884-4343 and costs $2 per minute. The average call lasts about a minute and a half to two minutes, and students must be 18 years of age to place a call. This new service not only helps students plan their trip, but it is also designed to provide the most up-to-date information on all the "hot" beaches and activities which will be a part of this year's spring break. If you're planning to spend spring break at Daytona Beach, there will be plenty of events and entertainment to satisfy everyone's tastes. A visit from MTV is at the top of the Daytona activities list, along with pool deck parties, sporting events, celebrity appearances, and several concerts featuring major recording artists. The theme of this year's Daytona spring break is "Party Smart," and representatives from the alcohol awareness program will provide a Spring Break welcome each day in Oceanfront Park. . Hawaiian Tropic has also teamed with Universal Studios Florida to create an "Island Paradise" in Oceanfront Park. One of the main events will be the annual Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant. Fifty contestants representing thirty-one countries will vie for the coveted title. Among the celebrity judges will be Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, comedian Benny Hill, and NASCAR driver Bill Elliott. If Daytona Beach isn't quite what your looking for, Wilkes students have a unique opportunity to visit Panama City Beach, Florida for this year's spring break. Tara Haas, a December 1990 Wilkes. graduate, is running a trip to Panama City Beach through the Inter-campus Programs Association. Haas has sponsored trips to Daytona Beach in previous years, but has decided that the new location has much more PAGEANT~Hawaiian Tropic will sponsor its annual to offer. in Daytona Beach over spring break. According to Haas, Panama City has beco~e the newest and hottest spring break locat10n. The hotels are newer and are located directly on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

The Colonels sent seven first time wrestlers to the tournament and their inexperience showed, as only Charlie Keyes at 190, and Merrel Neal at 158, placed. "We thought Charlie and Merrel would place for us," said head wrestling coach John Reese. "They wrestled pretty well but no one else could break through." Mike Froelich, who was expected to seriously challenge for a spot in nationals in the 134 pound division, failed to make the weight. "This year's tournament was a disappointment for us," said Reese. Some times kids don't have a good year but they get into tournaments and have a great tournament. We were kind of hoping for this but none of it happened." At 118, Chris Ricard lost his two matches, 7-6 to Franklin & Marshall and 7-4 to Army. Ray Marrkulias dropped his first match 5-3 to Ed Moore of F&M but bounced back with a win in the consolation round opener. He was then eliminated by Brown's John Allman. The Colonels were forced to sit out the 134 pound division since Froelich failed to make weight. This vacancy cost the Colonels a five point deduction from their team total. . "I really don't know what happened with Mike," said Reese. "He had made weight Sunday against Bloomsburg. He said he had some cramps but he was only four pounds over weight the night before so we thought he would be able to loose that." In the 142 pound weight class, freshman Mike Evans competed in his first Eastern Tournament but was eliminated in two fairly close matches. At 150, Eric Feese lost to Lehigh's Cassidy and Rutgers Liquori to make another quick exit for the Colonels. At 158, Merrel Neal was in the fourth seat, but failed to make it back to Nationals. He opened up impressively, recording an 11-3 win over Harvard's Sanszone and a 9-0 win over Elicker of East Stroudsburg. Then the trouble set in. He lost to last year's defending champ Nick Mauldin of Army 6-1. He then lost to Bob Whalen in overtime of the consolation finals. Neal closed his career in a 5-4 loss to Syracuse's Saba, leaving him with sixth place. Anthony Guidi upset the eighth seated Coldiron in a 9-7 decision before getting pinned by the first seeded Farrel in 4:47. Farrel went on to win the weight class. Guidi had a chance to place but dropped a 9-4 decision to Navy's Cummings. Aaron Tufankjian, 177, dropped a tough 3-2 match _to Brown's Tokarski before getting pinned by Syracuse's Bosch in 3:45. Charlie Keyes finished fourth, the highest place for the Colonels. He won hisopening match 9-2 over William & Mary's Stanfield. He then lost a tough sudden death overtime decision of F&M's Nusome. Keyes then bounced back, winning his next three matches with scores of 3-1, 5-2, and 4-2. With a chance to take a trip to Nationals, Keyes again lost to Nusome, this time by a 4-2 count. Heavyweight Reggie Stancil lost his only two matches. He dropped a 6-1 decision to Hornbeck of Princeton and a 7-4 match to Calgano of Columbia. "This year's tournament was a real learning experience for us," said Reese. "Some of our guys were nervous since this was their first time. It really showed. Hopefully this will help us next year." Reggie Stancil takes charge in recent wrestling match. THEB Doors open f or tour By LARRY WOODY Apple College Information Network NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The chairman of the N~AA Tournament selection committee is leaving the door open for more than four Southeastern Conference teams to make the tournament. "There are no limits on conferences," said Jim Delany, Big 10 Commissioner who chairs the NCAA selection committee, speaking on a national teleconference call Tuesday. "Each conference gets one automatic bid, and after that it's our job to select the best, most qualified other 34 teams in the country. If it results in two bids for one and six for another, that's the way it will be." The 64 -team NCAA tournament field - 30 automatic qualifiers and 34 at-large teams - will be seeded, bracketed and announced late Sunday afternoon after the final tournament results are in. It has been speculated that the SEC would receive no more than four bids, likely leaving the loser of Friday's Vanderbilt-Georgia quarterfinal game out in the cold. Delany went over some of Ille selection committee considers. "We look at how a team did home how they did the last third of the s line," he said. "We look at strength of schedule did in its conference. We look at ratings index, USA TODAY and other of ranking teams that exist. We look and 'good losses' iTI which a teammay strong team closely but lost." Delany said there is not a "m wins that will get a team into the to "Years ago, 20 wins was a magic into the NCAA," he said. "That's no We have stressed the importance of schedule.

Bavitz is, however, optimistic about his staff's performance in this past weekends intersquad scrimmages . . "They all threw well and no one got hit real hard," said Bavitz. "Most of them threw five innings and I don't think any of them gave up more than two runs." With only ten days till the season opener, Bavitz still has as many as six positions wide open. His only two constants are catcher Jason Cadwalder and captain Ed Kwak. Kwak,whoisafoury arstarter, hit .346 last year and tied the school record for hits in a season while roaming centerfield in Artilerary Park. "Ed sets an excellent example," said Bavitz. "He plays hard, has experience, and is just a good ball player." Cadwalder hit .317 last year and led the MAC in homeruns with seven and runs batted in with 28. He will be spelled by Lou Salterelli. Bryne Burne and Tom Wittman will also compete for time behind the plate. The infield will feature a few new faces. At first base, freshman Steve Endress, who Bavitz calls a great athlete, will split time with so. phomore John Cumerford. Second base is a grab bag. It consists of your Fred Moase, Dave Kelley, Bernie Mushinsky, and Tom Carty, who might also pitch. The shortstop battle is between talented freshman Dave Kaschak and Rob Micheals. The hot comer could also be the revolving comer, with as many as six people patroling third base. Returners Kish and Ulitchney will be joined by Ken Falzone, Scott Jack, Dave Howard, and George Psarras. Returning along with Kwak in the outfield will be Mick Melberger. Newcomers competing for a spot will be Steve Klem, Joe Bill Ulicny and fellow teammate run down opponent in last season's game. THE BEACON/Dale Nat Finn, Mike Breakfield, and Greg Yankow, the younger brother of Jeff. "The competition on this years team has been great," said Bavitz. "We have at least two people battling it out for every spot. We are talking about the possibility of playing a freshman schedule." Bavitz is also bubbling with enthusiasm over the weather. Vince never said it would be like this. "It's our 20th day outside, I've never seen a winter like this," said Bavitz. "It's been amazing. Weare actually playing outside. We're ready to go." Bavitz and his boys will find out for sure as they open at Messiah on Saturday March 16 in a twin bill. The team will also make a trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida. It is then, and only then, that Bavitz will find out if his call to arms will be answered. dy Colonels pumped for season nately, two of the three are gone.

Breiseth commented that a different world will emerge amongst us. He also felt that this new generation will be a new start because people will be working together for the better of the planet. "This will create an opportunity for us to work together to resolve problems of technology and environmental natures," said Breiseth. Breiseth also commented on his personal pride about Wilkes. "It is a very warm, supportive environment," he said. "Wilkes is small enough for the students and professors to be familiar, but large enough for a good curriculum." Waldner spoke mainly about the structuring of the faculty. "Our first criteria is teacher effectiveness," said Waldner. After the welcome speeches were completed, the students were split into groups by major and taken to meet representatives from their prospective departments. The parents were also included in the morning session of the day's activities with a parents' meeting hosted by Paul Adams, Associate Dean of Student Affairs; Bill Hanigan, Student Government President; and Gerald Cookus, Chief of Security. They gave an overview of residence life and security policies. These meetings gave both students and their parents an opportunity to ask questions and learn about college life at Wilkes. The afternoon session included workshops in Financial Aid and Admission procedures. Davis felt pleased about how well the day's programs were run. "I feel it went very smoothly," said Davis.

He was charged with treason and espionage against the Soviet Union, crimes which are punishable by death. Sharansky's next nine years were spent in labor and prison camps. Avital Sharansky, his wife, organized a world-wide campaign for her husband's freedom. Thousands of letters were sent to him during his imprisonment, but he never received one letter. Soviet authorities released him on February 11, 1986 and he soon joined his wife, . A vital, in Jerusalem. Sharansky presently serves as leader of the Israel-based Soviet Jewry Zionist Forum. The program, which is sponsored by the Jewish Community Center, is free and open to the public.

As a result of the Allied Victory, oil prices have stabalized and will remain low, in the economist's opinion. Because of strengthened relations with the U.S., Saudi Arabia will be willing to "play ball with oil prices for the next year or two," De Young said. From the student perspective, De Young feels life will be easier, since funds for college and part-time jobs will be more readily attainable. Businesses will also benefit in the upcoming months since they will have the ability to buy resources at prices which will encourage consumption. "The Federal Reserve has been the instrument for counterscylical spending policy which will ease us out of the recession," DeYoung said. Another factor that will influence the economy will be the outcome of . world events, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. "The question mark lies within European state of disorder, De Young said. The Soviet Union could very well be the engine of the world econmomy in the future." As Wilkes seniors near commencement exercises, the job market will be more favorable. "Higher p10ductivity of the labor force is going to create a favorable economic market for the people of current students' generation," said DeYoung. "Resources which have previously gone towards non-productive military spending will now be put towards other needs, such as the environment," he said. INSIDE ....

PATRICK'S DAY! �MAR 14, 1991 PAGE2 &14"1lllfll~i Speaking their way to victory By RICHARD YABLONSKY Beacon Staff Writer Hard work and working together, like a family, helped the Wilkes Speech/Debate team win six individual awards and place fourth in team Sweepstakes at West Chester University during the weekend of February 22-24. Although the Wilkes team was the smallest, they believe they work together more effectively than most teams. The tournament, which attracted 13 colleges, was an invitational for any school in Pennsylvania with a speech/debate team. Competing for the Wilkes Speech/Debate Union were Heather Hand, a senior from Dallas, Pa; Amy Vaughn, a sophomore from Elizabethville, Pa.; Al Mueller, a sophomore from Duryea, Pa.; Teresa Herman, a senior from Canton, Pa.; and Samantha Ireson, a freshman from Sanura, Saudi Arabia. Individual finalists from Wilkes were: Heather Hand, who achieved sixth place in persuasive speaking; Al Mueller, who took first place in impromptu speaking, third place in informative and after dinner speaking fourth place in rhetorical criticism, and first place in the Pentathlon, making him the top all-around speaker in the state. Although · individual members of the Speech/Debate Union won awards, the team feels that each victory is earned by the group as a whole. "Not everyone can do what these five people do," said Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Speech/Debate Union Coach. "A little piece of each of them wins whether they win trophies or not." Members of the Union said that they don't let fears commonly associated with public speaking get in the way of their performances. "I don't think it's easy to speak in front of a group," said Mueller, FAMI_LY - Members of the Wilkes Speech/Debate team took fourth place this past weekend. "However, if you think you can do it, and you believe you can do it, then you'll certainly act. like you can do it." Other colleges present at the Wilkes writers chosen for NPWC Anthology '90 Four members of the Wilkes University community are among the writers featured in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Writers Club (NPWC) - Anthology '90, recently published by the NPWC of Wilkes-Barre.

Phone-a-than volunteers seek alumni support By MISSY MARGIS Beacon Assistant News Editor Several Wilkes students will assist the University in raising funds while enhancing their communication skills as Wilkes begins its annual Phone-a-thon this month. The students have been trained in telemarketing and have become familiar with the prepared scripts they will use when calling prospective contributors. Close to 40 students will work at the Phone-a-thon, according to Program Director Alan Macpherson. "We plan to have 12 callers working, and each student can make approximately 50 calls a night. This means that we are capable of reaching a total of 600 Wilkes alumni and parents per evening," said Macpherson.

"Prompt, corrective action is the key," said James Barth, Auburn University fi nance professor and former Federal Home Loan Bank Board member. Barth claimed foot-dragging by tim id federal regulators has bloated the cost of thrift and bank bailouts to the taxpayer. "Institutions have been telling the world for years they are insolvent, practically begging to be resolved - yet they're left operatinr, for years," he said. Robert Litan, senior economist at The Brookings Institution think tank here, said "a more forceful system of earlier intervention by bank regulators to prevent bank insolvencies is long overdue." Between 1985 and 1989, Litan said, the FDIC lost an average of 18 cents for every dollar of assets taken over from failed banks and thrifts - usually after the institution invested wildly in its death throes. Robert A. Eisenbeis, banking professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, spoke out against the Treasury Department' s "too-big-to-fail" policy. That policy involves keeping open huge institutions whose collapse might injure the entire financial system, and of paying off all depositors in full, even if they had more than the current $100,000 FDIC limit deposited. Riegle 's bill would strictly limit the coverage to $ 100,000 per depositor per institution , and would require recapitalization of even the largest institutions before they became drains on the deposit insurance funds. ..-----._.,;.

Letters to the Editor Having the right to speak Dear Editor: I have a problem with Wilkes University. The problem is that the administration is playing politics and is helping the heads of security discriminate against me and my handicap (Sugar diabetes). There is no way the harassment and the slanderous stories against me should be permitted. In 1990 a law was signed to protect people with medical conditions such as diabetes. I have been deeply hurt by the administration and I'll go as far as I have to. I want to right a wrong. If Gerry Cookus and his officers didn't play politics and worry about losing their jobs, talk about other officers, and degrade the students there would be no trouble. I'm called names by some who don't like me, asking qi ,estions and demanding answers. One guard went as far as to tell me he would run me over because I wouldn't show him my sign. I told him if Cookus wanted to know what is on the sign, let him come down himself and read it. If security members put a positive effort in doing their jobs, then the students would respect them as much as they respect my performance on duty. I will fight for the Marts Center because I love it. The students want me there. I wish to give my personal thanks to a certain alumnus for support. While informing persons -of why I'm carrying my sign, I met a student whom I have never met before. He told me that I could count on his support because he had heard from his fellow students about me and that I'm known as the officer that cares. I would like to thank some staff and faculty members, as well as the students for their support. While working at Wilkes I've developed enormous respect and love for the students. They are the greatest people in the work. I'm doing this because I have rights. I'm sure that it's expected of me as well. I'll fight for my rights like I will fight for the rights of others. ,.

ADVISOR UTING WRITERS: Paul Winarski, Becky Steinberger, p, Chris Imper iale, Richard Yablonsky Bravo to Baker WASHINGTON Bravo HBO. It's not often that television lives up to its awesome potential. Rarely is the viewing of this pervasive medium worth the time it takes to change the channel. For the most part, television has added to those things that divide us: tile stereotypes, the misconceptions, the deeply ingrained hostility that's born largely of ignorance. And when it comes to this nation's great social crisis - the conflict between the races - seldom has TV mustered the courage to do more than pander to the interests of its black viewers. Not since 1977, the year "Roots" caused many people in this nation to succumb to the notion that history does indeed have a black perspective, has television peered over the perceptual barri<;ade it hides behind - that is, until now. On Saturday, Home Box Office rises noticeably higher than its competition when it airs 'The Josephine Baker Story," a chronicle of the life and times of a black woman of truly legendary proportions. It's rare that anyone produces a movie that offers a black actress in this case the stunningly talented Lynn Whitfield - a leading role. Rarer still are those films that afford people like Josephine Baker the status they deserve. HBO has done both. Lightly regarded this side of the Atlantic, Baker became one of Europe's biggest entertainers in the 1930s and 1940s - a time when more African-Americans were made to dance at the end of a rope than were allowed to perform on a Broadway stage. Her talents earned her the title of "the world's richest black woman." ButBaker'sragecostherbothfame and fortune when she refused to knuckle under to the racism she encountered. She insisted on integrated seat- Opinion by Dewayne Wickham Apple College Information Network ing when she performed in the UnitedStates-thisatatimewhen blacks were not allowed to be within walking distance after dark of some of the theaters in which she played. And when Baker was denied a hotel room -or a meal in a restaurant - because of her race, she lashed out publicly at those who tolerated such bigotry. At one point during a U.S. tour, she made a citizen's arrest of a man who stormed out of a restaurant in which she was seated, saying he didn't want to sit next to niggers. But Josephine Baker was much more than a hot-tempered entertainer. When the Nazis occupied France during World War II, she worked for the French resistance - an act of great risk and personal sacrifice for which she later received the Legion of Honor, France's highest award. Over her life, she adopted 12 children of various races, religions and ethnicities. Baker called them her "Rainbow Tribe" to make the point that, given the chance, we can learn to live together. "I've learned that the one thing you never get punished for is giv• ing," Baker is portrayed as saying in the closing scenes of the movie. Despite her suffering, there was seemingly no limit to her giving. There are, shamefully, millions of people in this country who know nothing about this courageous woman-people who are better acquainted with the names of Madonna's lovers than with the battles Baker fought. That's a pity. It's also the reason this HBO movie is so compelling. Television, more than any other medium, influences our national sense of self. What most of us think, and believe, about ourselves and others is a reflection of the many images created by television. And to the extent that TV has ignored the view of this nation African-Americans have come to know, it cheats us all of a valuable perspective on life. "The Josephine Baker Story" is a glimpse into this great unknown, a tribute to her immense talents, and a testament to the will of HBO to mount a barrier that few broadcasters dare to scale.

What JQ and the Bandits have become are stars on the rise. The four young men made their start singing acapella '50's <loo-wop on New York City street corners. It was here that they were first discovered by a theatrical agency which sent them to the casting directors of the award-winning Levi's 501 commercials. These commercials promoted interest in the group and they began an extensive tour. The group made many personal appearances across the country and they recently made a stop here at Wilkes' nightclub Rumours. JQ and the Bandits is composed of Michael Taranto , lead singer; Chris May, bass; David Montgomery, baritone; and Steven Katz, tenor. The four young men, all 25 years old , first met in college where they were all acting majors. Michael, Chris, and David hail from New Jersey, while Steven comes from Long Island. If you have ever heard these young men perform you would realize that they are all excellent singers. Vocal ability like that takes years and years of vocal training, but, ironically, none of them has ever had any training. "We never had voice lessons. We were all acting majors and we learned how to speak properly and it is essentially the same thing," said Taranto. The guys have been together for quite some time and have become very close, almost like brothers. They described their relationship as something "like a marriage without the sex." "Every decision is made as a group," said May. The members of the group also spend much of their non-performing time together either rehearsing or dealing with the business aspects of careers. This time amounts to about five or six days a week. JQ and the Bandits have been lucky , unlike some other performers, because they have had the support of their families. "Our families have been very supportive of our careers" said Taranto. The group members are the first of their families to -be entertainers. Although these guys are extremely talented, their personal lives are not as easy to manage as their singing careers. THIEVES- JQ and the Bandits steal the spotlight at R "It's tough to maintain a relationship but especially England, and they hope to become more you must know what you are getting into from and accepted here in the United States.

When we lose someone close to us, it makes us stop and reflect on what made that person so special. At 7 p.m. on March 10th Showcase Theater vice-president Joseph Ristagno passed away, and a great many of us in local theater lost a very dear friend. When people would meet Joe, the first thing they'd notice would be his sense of humor. He always had a smile for every occasion · and a joke for every situation. He made everyone feel welcome. Since I began my association with Showcase Theater, I can't recall a single show I was involved in that Joe didn't contribute to m some way. _ Throughout his years at Showcase, Joe accomplished many things. His roles were. so diverse, yet he managed to hold on to something of himself in each performance, from Emile de Beque in South Pacific to the lead role in Moliere's Tartuffe. Last year Joe added to his theatrical accomplishments with two stints as director. Lulluby, his first production, sold out and forced the cast into extra performances. His second production, Mass Appeal, drew unanimous good reviews for the cast. The highest praise, however, was saved for its director. I had the distinct honor of starring with Joe in his last play, The Lion in Winter. In this production, Joe played King Henry II of England, a man who must choose the successor to his throne from amongst his three sons. Joe was very proud of his work in this show, and he gave his last and greatest performance in Lion in Winter. It was during the run of this show that Joe was diagnosed as having lung Cancer. Despite the news, his spirits remained high, and throughout his illness, he continued to care for his terminally ill son Anthony.

As a special project of a class in Children's Theater, theater majors have organized a special children's theater production of The Prince Who Wouldn't Talk which will run through Saturday, March 16th. The audience, which was composed mainly of chidren from ages three through ten, was kept entertained by the delightful performance. Not only did the play keep the children entertained, but it also taught them some very valuable lessons. The production, which is adapted from a story by James Beck, centers around a king and queen who don't realize that their son is silent because neither of them give him a chance to speak. · A young girl who resides in the kingdom tries to tell the king and queen that they are ignoring their son, but they do not care to listen. After subjecting the prince to a series of tests conducted by three wizards, they find there is nothing wrong with the boy. After every effort to encourage the prince to talk fails, the young happened," S "Everyone kn slurs when th Wilkes Black Student one could pick Coalition (BSC) has seen some The BSC changes recently.

As she is planning to leave, the prince finally speaks as he calls out to stop her. The cast, comprised of David Zimmerman as the King; Gail Stone as the Queen; Tommy Pearce as narrator; Christine Brunnock Annemarie Ricci, and Thom~ Coslosky as the three wizards; Jim Evans as the Prince; and Arny Basham as the Young Maiden, did an excellent job of adapting the production to the young audience. The audience became involved in the action throughout the entire play, and, at the end of the production, the children must decide whether the play is a fairy tale, a nursery rhyme, or a fable. The cast also helped the children to discover what lessons can be learned from the play. The unique ways in which the play addresses important issues in communication between parents and children are both entertaining and thought-provoking. The production is full of comedy, audience participation, and song.

Webster's Dictionary defines the word sport as a diversion, amusement, entertainment, or pastime. In this regard, the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania have been blessed. For years, this section of the Keystone State has been referred to as an unenergetic, decrepit coal community. Then came attorney John McGee, who led a group of investors called Northeast Baseball. Their goal was simple, to bring professional baseball back to the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area. Baseball in Northeastern Pennsylvania! The proposal was accepted with great enthusiasm. Local "big wigs" acted early in purchasing season tickets to show support. A dying local economy may have gotten a second life. The local investment group purchased a struggling Triple A franchise from Maine. They were given a Philadelphia Philles affiliation, and then the coveted name of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons. On April 25, 1989, a facility titled Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium opened. (For you history buffs, the Barons played Tidewater and lost 9-2). Northeastern Pennsylvania was back on the map. An impressive season at the turnstiles saw over 400,000 baseball fans pass through. Then came season II. It could more appropiately be called the year of the "pick-pocket." I, as did many others, wondered how long it would take for someone to try to make a profit from this godsend. As most people know, the stadium is actually in Moosic. So the town of Moosic decided to place an amusement tax on the stadium. Not to be outdone, the school district also added their own tax. But we shouldn't be to upset over this. People have been making a profit off of others since the beginning of time. Word of this tax sent baseball fans into a panic. Ticket prices at the stadium were $5, $4, and 3. This new tax meant each ticket would increase between $2 and $3. The battle lines were set. What Moosic did not count on was swift and tough action on the part of the Red Barons. The battle made its way down I-81 to Harrisburg, where the Barons recorded a major victory. The stadium, which was originally built to house the Red Barons, was financed in part by state grants. The ruling handed down stated that a lower government cannot tax a higher one. Sorry guys, but the pint size municipality of Moosic, cannot prevail over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But wait. Moosic is back for one more ;ound. The Red Barons were spared , but no-one else was. As a result, everything that is to be exhibited at the stadium will be taxed, except the Red Barons. It was expected that concerts would increase revenue. Moosic's city council, however, put an end to . this. Since the group Aerosmith had been booked prior to the tax, Heart was nearly roadblocked because Moosic wanted a $25,000 bond for insurance. Then the biggest blows came, top-name concerts were cancelled. It was rumored that performers Hank Williams Jr., New Kids on the Block, and Billy Joel were booked, only to be wiped out. Heading back to the sports center, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Stallions, of the Minor Professional Football League, occupied the stadium. After their first season, 1990, the Stallions will cease operation for a year, for financial reasons. Did the huge foot of Moosic leave a lasting impression? A state of the art sports stadium, standing dark at prime time, because one too many people had to get greedy. Well, here is egg in your face, Moosic. For you devotees planning on catching the stars of tommorrow, the box office opens March 1 at IO a.m. Opening day is April 15 against Pawtucket. The Barons need only 9,156 fans to reach ,1,000,000. One last thought for the town of Moosic. Remember Moosic night at the ballpark last year? I do, I was there. Please tell me why there were all those Boo-Birds when your mayor was introduced? For sports and concerts fans, you may have a friend in the rest of Pennsylvania, but not in Moosic.'

He said the experience will add to his know ledge as a television analyst. "I appreciate the Orioles giving me the opportunity to try this," he said. "Everybody has been terrific. It's been a very pleasant experience." Palmer said a hamstring pull aggravated before Monday's exhibition hastened his decision. He said there was not enough time for the injury to heal for the comeback to work. "I talked to (manager) Frank· Robinson this morning," the threetime Cy Young A ward winner said. "He said, 'Are you sure?' I said, Tm not, but my leg is.' Said Robinson, who had promised Palmer another start: "I respect his decision. I've said all along he would know better than anyone what he is capable of doing. He was fighting some big odds, but I would have liked to see him succeed." Palmer, who said he would return to the Miami area to allow his hamstring to heal, gained a tryout with Baltimore after pitching at the University of Miami in December.

On March 15, 1977 Sharansky was abducted by the KGB from a friend's apartment in Moscow because of his involvement in dissident activities and commitment to Soviet Jewish emigration. . Speaking before a Marts Center crowd of 500 Monday night Sharansky said, "Once the KGB sensed you were afraid, you were in danger." Sharansky said that when a dissident was arrested they were required by law to be kept for 15 days. After that time the KGB would make up charges to hold advisor of the Temple Israel. Sharansky said he experienced them longer against their will. He was charged with treason the same kind of fear as those in the and espionage against the Soviet Persian Gulf war who where forced Union.

Albert Kipa, president of PSMLA and professor of German at Muhlenberg College, Allentown, gave opening remarks. He discussed his concerns about foreign languages and how they are a large part of quality education. Dr. Walter Karpinich, coordinator of the conference and Chairman of the Wilkes Department of Foreign Languages agrees. "If languages were taught in elementary schools, students would know enough of the basics to excel in advanced high school or college level courses," said Karpinich. According to Karpinich, interest in the languages has been growing simply because many people recognize that we are living in an interdependent world. Karpinich believes that students, as future citizens of the world, must learn to function within an emerging global community. .·.. ·.·.· .. -.<;:-::.:::.<·.::--:,:.· . .·.· ...·.· . . . .·. •.·· > ·•·•·•········ < ... · ... ••·•··.•· :::.· . . . . :-/··. . ... <THE BEACON/Dale Nat SHORTS?7 Many students sported their spring atire as the . seasonsnuck a .day early; 'Ned11esday.

"No state can afford to sit on the sidelines and merely cheer for better times," said Sen. Tim Shaffer, R-Butler County, chairman of the Senate's Community and Economic Development Committee. At a recent news conference, Shaffer outlined what he called an "economic blueprint for Pennsylvania in the 1990's." "We must maintain a positive business climate to hold onto the jobs we already have," added Sen. Roger Madigan, R-Bradford County.

Shaffer proposed a capital access program that would make it easier for small businesses to obtain working capital. The program would make more credit available by reducing banks' risks through a reserve pool. Greater emphasis, he said, should be placed on customized job training. He also proposed the state reduce or temporarily suspend job-creation requirements for certain state economic development assistance. Businesses attempting to get state aid would have to show that the state funds would prevent layoffs. - Creating new markets. Only 2,000 of an estimated 17,000 Pennsylvania manufacturers are exporting their products, Shaffer said. A package of legislation would provide promotion, tax incentives and financial aid to encourage businesses in the state to export their products. Port development would be encouraged by waiving About two-thirds of 1 million Pennsylvanians not covered by health insurance are employed, Shaffer said. turnpike toll charges for all export products shipped by Most workers not covered are employed by small Pennsylvania producers, Shaffer said. businesses which can't afford insurance, he said. - Maintaining a positive business climate.

Although the songs from Guitar Trouble were fairly new to most of the audience, they still went over well and received favorable reactions. One of the highlights of the show was when Conwell came off the stage, into the crowd, and ran through the crowd while playing his guitar. The ·band showed much energy and great musical talent throughout . the entire show, and they rarely missed a beat. One scary moment in the show came when Conwell was running around the stage, as he did quite often, and he nearly fell off the stage and into some members of the crowd. Conwell never missed a note through the whole incident. When I interviewed Conwell after the show I found him to be a very nice, genuine, and extremely warm individual. Also joining me for the .interview were Wilkes students Donna Wilke, Nicolette Yevich, and Heather Shocker, who also asked a few questions. Here is how some of the interview went: BEACON: What was it like for you going into the studio for the first time to record Walkin' as opposed to Rumble, you know after the record deal and the whole bit? TOMMY CONWELL: I'll tell ya , it's terrible, it was terrible. It was totally scary. I was completely uptight, like the most uptight I ever was and I had just quit drinking. I quit drinking about four and a half years ago. And I was like a live wire. And it was tough, but, you know, a lot of people say they like that record the best out of all of them. I mean, it doesn't sound that great, but maybe the songs are good. I don't know, maybe that kind of uptightness can make it be good. I don't know, everytime it gets a lot cooler. This time was the coolest. Guitar Trouble was like pretty cool. It went smoothly. The first time I RUMBLE - Tommy Conwell and-the Young Rumblers rocked Rumours this past Saturday. was completely uptight, and I am the leader, so everyone gets uptight. The second time I was pretty uptight. This time I decided I am not going to be. Tommy Conwell is a guitarist whose major influence is Jimmie Vaughn. Conwell says his influences are obvious in songs like "Workout," "Rock With You" or "Everything They Say Is True." Some new artists that Conwell really likes are The Replacements ("I love them, they are the best"), NRBQ, World Party, John Wesley Harding, Billy Bragg, and Colin James. Prosperousspring ahead Both Wilkes University and King's College recently held auditions for the final shows of their theatrical seasons. Wilkes final production will be Gogol's classic comedy The Inspector General. The story centers around a down and out government clerk named Khlestekov. Khlestekov's delusions of grandeur and proud blue-blooded mannerisms cause him to be mistaken for the government inspector from St. Petersburg when he makes a stop in a small town in czarist Russia. The mayor and the rest of the town officers are on their best behavior in front of the "Inspector" so that he will take a glowing report back to the Prime Minis~r. Visiting director John Laharnway has given me the challenging task of playing Klestekov, while the town mayor will be portrayed by Dave Zimmerman. Rounding out the large cast are Frank Spenser, Chrissy Brunnock, Jim Evans, Tom Pearce, Melanie O'Donnell, Shawn Palchetti, Tia Metta, Karen Jordan, Jamie Kurtz, Mike Cynwar, Mike Williams, Dana Belson, and Annie Ricci. King's College currently has two productions in the works for the spring season. The first production is the three-woman comedy Vanities, which will be produced by Carl Wagner. The drama concerns three high school friends who go through college together and finally reunite one evening in middle age. Starring in the production are King's players Bridget O'Brien, Noelle Hammerbacher, and Kathy Radnai. The second production at King's will be the popular musical Godspell. The show is based on the holy scriptures according to Matthew. . Featured in the cast is Wilkes Theater/Music major Dana Belson, and Wilkes graduate Don Semyon will play in the ensemble. Other players in featured roles are Jeanne Krefski, James Aragona, Jennifer Dargis, and Steve Graham. Tommy Conwell ano The Young R begin a two-week tour opening for George and The Destroyers beginning in April. They be performing at an Anti-Drug Rally the April 19th at King's College.

Shawn Palchetti, president of the organization, was the spokesperson for the demonstration. Other members participating in the demonstration included Kevin Kearney, Tony Adamo, Barry Bernstein, Chris Wartella, Mike Butwin, George Butwin, Mark Rhinehimer, Mike Stofey, and Maria Antonishak. The first segment of the demonstration focused on self-defense techniques. Palchetti indicated that i:p.any people do not distinguish between self-defense and martial arts. Self-defense grew out of the martial arts, but it is used to defend against attackers on the street. In martial arts, there is no fighting involved, and only forms are demonstrated. During the segment, basic self-defense moves were demonstrated in order to give students an idea of how they could defend themselves in the event they should be attacked. The members demonstrated moves which could be used against one attacker, armed attackers, and more than one attacker. The second segment of the demonstration allowed the club members who are schooled in the martial arts to show off their stuff. Each member demonstrated his own specific style of martial arts, and then used weapons such as a staff, knives, swords, and sai to enhance his form. Following the demonstration of the particular forms, the club members engaged in sparring matches with each other. The purpose of these matches is to demonstrate how each style or form of martial arts reacts to other styles. ' The final demonstration of this segment depicted the "flashy" side of martial arts. Included in this demonstration were techniques for breaking boards, walking over glass, and doing push-ups on a bed of nails.

Destroyers set to invade Kirby ' ANDREA SILVI By Beacon Feature Editor Beware Wilkes-Barre, the "Boogie People" are ready to invade the city on April 4th. Veteran rockers George Thorogood and the Destroyers will be bringing the hard-hitting sounds of their newest album, Boogie People, to the city when the group visits the F.M. Kirby center next month. The album was produced by Terry Manning, who has been with the band since its 1985 Maverick album. It was recorded in Memphis and was recently released on February 26th. With Boogie People, Thorogood and his band elevate their rough and tumble hard rock blues to another level. The first single off the-album, a song called "If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)," is a self-deprecating examination of certain social damned-if-you-do and damned-if-youdon't attitudes. Thorogood himself continues to write and diversify with Boogie People. While the cut "Long Distance Lover" reflects the rockin' sound which first defined the band, "Oklahoma Sweetheart" is an unadulterated country tune which serves as .a compliment to the Destroyers' aggressive cut "Six Days on the Road." Rounding out the new album is the soulful blues tune "Born in :::'.hicago." Because the Destroyers' first love has always been playing live, they try to tour as much as possible. Fueled by a burning desire to tum audiences on to the music that has given them so much joy, George Thorogood and the Destroyers have launched an eight-week tour which began on March 16th. Thorogood says that the Destroyers do not plan on an early retirement "As long as there are still fans out there, we'll keep playing," said Thorogood. Wilkes-Barre fans of the Destroyers will get a chance to hear the sounds of the band's newest album as well as some of the older tunes which first defined the Destroyers when the band visits the Kirby Center on April _4th.

The set was highlighted by the keyboard solo of Greg Giuffria, the guitar solo of newest Lords member Doug Aldrich, and the extremely impressive drum solo of Ken Mary. House of Lords is not yet a household name, but they will eventually break, and break big. The long-awaited apppearance of Nelson was something definitely worth waiting for. The band was originally scheduled to perform at the Kirby on December 7, 1990, but that tour stop had to be postponed and rescheduled. The band (who was missing guitarist Joey Cathcart because of illness) began with their single "Fill You Up," and then performed nearly their entire debut album . They also performed songs which are yet unreleased as well as a cut they did for the soundtrack of the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure called "Two Heads Are Better Than One." Throughout the evening, the band members constantly apologized for postponing the show for nearly four months. "We are glad you guys showed up after waiting four months," said Gunnar. the Hungarian government honored Onczay with the coveted "Distinguished Artists" award. Onczay made his New York debut during the 1985-86 season at the Frick Museum. He also performed with the Spokane, Washington Symphony and appeared on the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Chicago during that season. Recently, Onczay has made an appearance on the Today's Artists Series in San Francisco and has also performed with the Edmonton, Alberta Symphony, and the Stockton Symphony in California. • Onczay's repertoire includes forty cello concertos along with cello selections from Bach to contemporary composers. The cello which Onczay plays is a master instrument made by Matteo Gofriller in Venice in 1700. Onczay studied with Antal Friss at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, with Andre Navarra in Italy, and with S.P. Shirinsky in Moscow. He is now a professor at the Franz Liszt Academy. Onczay's various recitals across the country have established him as one of the finest cellists of our time, and Wilkes' Center for the Performing Arts is just one of the stops on this talented musician's tour. NELSON- Members of the band performed with opening act House of Lords at the Kirby Center Sunday night. Some of the highlights of the show were keyboardist Paul Mirkovich's energetic and very visual solo, guitarist Brett Garsed's solo, and the incredible drum solo of Bobby Rock. The most touching moment of the evening, however, came when Matthew and Gunnar dedicated a song they wrote back in 1986 to guitarist Joey Cathcart who fell ill in Philadelphia the night before. "Little Joey really wanted to be here tonight," said Matthew. Matthew, Gunnar, Paul, Bobby, Bret and Joey touched the hearts of all who attended their show at the Kirby. By the crowd's reactions before, during, and after the show the long-awaited concert by Nelson was a huge success. Photographs depict history By CHRISTINE KENELL Y Beacon Staff Writer Photographs recorded during the Depression years and commissioned by five government relief agencies will be on display at the Sordoni Art Gallery beginning April 6th. "Official Images: New Deal Photography" is a collection of eighty photographs signifying both crisis and change. Commissioned by the Farm Security Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Works Progress Administration, and the National Youth Administration, these photographs represent a deeply felt image of the Depression. Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Ben Shahn, and Russell Lee are just a handful of photographers whose work will be on exhibit. The exhibit will also include a series of films which will be viewed on four successive Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. The films include The La,nd, a portrayal of American agriculture; The Plow that Broke the Plains, which depicts the social and economic history of the Great Plains; Power and the Land, which depicts the effects of electrification; and The River, which traces life in the Mississippi River Valley over the past 150 years. President Roosevelt's "New Deal" for the American people in 1933 promised domestic revival to a country hit hard by the Great Depression. Photography was ,used to promote the distress which led to Roosevelt's relief measures. The upcoming exhibition at the Sordoni Gallery represents a body of documentary photography which led the country to economic and social recovery. t1■11• • • rn• ■,~•• 111•• •· IIIJlllllllll■II iiii&1■-• 111,1:r11lllll1llllr~llliilllll~l \l 1 II .J �PAGE 10 MAR.21,1991 il !ii!!!IIIBlillilllli,Jii -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-.-:-:-:;:•:•.·•:=:-··-·.·.•.•:❖:• Executives to take over By TOM WITOSKY Apple College Information Network NBA 's best in the Olympics? ■ Professional athletes finally allowed to compete in the olympics By JASON EIKE Beacon Staff Writer Considering the five best NBA players making up the Olympic basketball team for 1992. Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, and Charles Barkley all wearing red, white, and blue is almost unthinkable. But the unthinkable has now become a strong possibility. In 1992, for the first time ever, America will send perfessional athletes to the Olympics. This is all due as a result of a ruling maae in April 1989 by the sport's international governing organization, a ruling that has been anxiously awaited by NBA players and fans as well: Professional athletes have never been allowed to compete in the Olympics. The reason for this is that the Olympics are solely for amateur athletes, not professionals. There are many arguments that can be advanced against this. Why shouldn't we send our professionals to the games since other countries' Olympic athletes are, for the most part, professionals? In the U.S.S.R., Olympic athletes are paid a regular salary, given a car and a house and are reguarded as very high class citizens in the Soviet society. There seems to be a double standard here. Our amateur Olympic athletes are not given a regular salary, a car or a house. They are funded privately through donations from US citizens. It makes sense that we are finally sending athletes that are our best-trained and funded competitors. An argument arises that a NBA "dream team" would be too good to send to international coinpetion. Why? We are simply sending our real professionals to compete against other countries' professionals. In China athletes are treated similary to Soviet athletes. They are funded by the government and train for the Olympics in specially built facilities built exclusively for them. Our poorly-funded amature athletes compete against other countries' professional athletes. This new rule is a big step to catching up with the rest of the world in the Olympics. WASHINGTON - Years of benign neglect of major departments soon may be replaced by active adminis1rauve a result of recommendations made Tuesday by the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. "If for no other reason, it will be the result or a self-protection," said Bryce Jordan, president emeritus or University. "I don't see how any college president or chancellor can athletic department and not mandate that it be a part or di mission." Jordan, a commission member, was among a num executives who praised the commission's central recom each college's chief executive in command of the sc department.

The reason for this is two fold. First, there is what is known as free-agency. Players who are free-agents are free to play wherever they want, with whomever wants them. Most of the time it's pretty simple; whoever offers the most amount of money is where that player will go. The best example of this is the Dodgers offering Strawberry $4 million to don Dodger blue just because the Mets were offering him under $4 million. To enhance their chance of winning, owners usually make an offer greater than what they think the player is really worth so they sound reasonable and win instead of losing and paying the player more money. The threat of arbitration alone escalates salaries, since there is usually a compromise at the median point of what the player an owner wanted. The ridiculousness of arbitration lies in the fact that players with as little as two and a half years experience are eligible and after one great year they try to compare their talents with established veterans. Many people say "Why don't the owners simply refuse to give the players large salaries when they are free agents?" The answer is simple. They already tried and were found Others say "Why don't they do away with arbitration?" The players are not dumb. They know the ripple effect arbitration has on salaries, and they refuse to give it up. Players have threatened to strike for an entire season ( or more ) if owners even tried to make it harder to file for arbitration. So it looks like salaries will continue to skyrocket and there is nothing that can be done about it. Teams like Oakland, Boston, New York, and Los Angeles will have larger payrolls than the total revenues of teams like Seattle, Cleveland, and Atlanta. The teams with the money will continue to dominate those without, because they can afford to spend as much as they want for the players who will put the fans in the seats. It all circles around one thing. Making and keeping money. Baseball has turned into a business and is no longer the game it once was. It is now played for the money and not the love of the sport. Teams will win. Teams will lose. Ticket prices will rise and so will players' salaries. The average fan will Jose out, and he'll have just one thing to say. "Where will it end?"

Bo's hip in bad shape By MIKE DODD Apple College Information Network Bo Jackson's original injury - a fracture dislocation of his left hip - might be the least of his worries now. It's two complications diagnosed a month ago that threaten his career. Orthopedic experts say the condition described by Kansas City Royals physician Dr. Steve Joyce paints a pessimistic picture. "The bottom line is there's some form of arthritis in (the hip joint). That tends to preclude the return to a high level of performance," said Dr. Robert P. Nirschl, orthopedic consultant for the Virginia Sports Medicine Institute. Experts say they can discuss the matter generally, but can't make definitive statements about Jackson's prognosis. He suffered a small fracture on the rear wall of the hip socket, an injury that probably is nearly healed. The complications are the deterioration of cartilage on both the ball and socket part of the hip joint (chondrolysis) and early signs of avascular necrosis - damage to the femoral head caused by a lack of blood to the area. "They're both bad," Nirschl said. Dr. David Collon, chief of orthopedics at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, said the causes of chondrolysis after an injury like Jackson's aren't well understood. "It's triggered by the injury, but we don't understand the mechanics of it." . It could have happened with the injury. Or, it could be heredity or metabolic. Or, a piece of bone may have chipped in the dislocation and that fragment stayed in the joint, chewing up the cartilage. The cartilage could grow back- Collon said it happens with injuries to adolescents but that's very uncertain. That tissue usually regenerntes poorly, Nirschl said. "There can be some limited improvement, but I'd tend not to be optimistic .... It comes back a heck of a lot slower than it leaves." Many pros play football with substantial damage to cartilage in the knee joint, but Jackson would be risking serious injury to the hip joint. Nirschl describes avascular necrosis as a · "heart attack of the bone ... If the blood supply_ is ,~hut out, that area of the bone devitalizes. In avascular necrosis, the bone is like a freshly cut Christmas tree - it still has its structure, but the pine needles will eventually ~all ?ff. "The bone has structure but eventually It will weaken and part of the normal contour of the bone will be altered." Weight-bearing bones, like the hip, tend to collapse. That's why Jackson is on crutches even though the injury isn't painful to him. The experts say they'd advise any athlete who made it back from a condition like Jackson's to limit himself to one sport. Said Collon: "I think it'd be wise to consider oneself extremely lucky and stick to one sport."

Over the last four years increases at Wilkes have been the lowest of the region's five private colleges and universities, according to the "Family Guide to College Costs in Pennsylvania."

They students included sophomore, Tara DeLisi, sophomore, Jen Criswell, junior, Julie Orloski, and senior Adam Tillman. "Before working with this group, MS was a name for a disease which I didn't know a lot about," stated Tara DeLisi, "but after researching and interviewing, I can see how this disease affects people physically, as well as emotionally." Adam Tillman, another walker and student organizer, feels that the group project has increased his awareness of the crippling disease.

Last Friday night, the storefront window of Mattem's Flower Shop, 21 East South Street, was shattered, leaving $800 in damage and a vandal at large. According to Tom Mattern, store owner, someone lifted a large stone, about the size of a cinder block, from a nearby garden and hurled it through the window around midnight. "Wilkes Kids??" was scrawled on a remaining portion of the window, a message Mattern said he penned after assessing the damage. "I am not 100 percent sure it was Wilkes kids," said Mattern, "but it seems likely." Mattern noted the large number of students wandering from party to party near his business.

As to financial concerns, Cappellini advise the prospective attorneys, "Forget the money. You'll make plenty of money but you will make it because you do what you should do properly." Clark, reminding students that there were some 93,000 applications for 45,000 seats in the nation's 175 law schoolflast year, urged students to study hard and go beyond the minimum requirements. "All you really need to start a law practice is a pencil and a piece of paper and the temerity to think you know something," Clark said. "But when you get to court, there are at least two other people there just as smart as you are - the other attorney and the judge." The one who does the best is the one who's best prepared, Clark said. Though law school and even law practice demands sacrifices, Clark said, "You'll be able to have that feeling of having contributed something in life." Randa Fahmy, returning to Wilkes for her fourth pre-law day, agreed with Clark that law school and practice takes sacrifice. And it's nothing like what you see on TV, she said.

At The John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (JHI), the senator's namesake facility on Mundy St. in Wilke's-Barre, news of the tragedy upset both staff and patients.

PAGE6 By CAROLYN DOUGLAS Beacon Assistant Feature Editor Each year the Wilkes campus is filled with the sounds of student musicians participating in the annual Battle Of The Bands. This past weekend was no exception. Rumours' walls were literally pounding to the rhythms of seven different bands. The bands which participated in the annual competition were Nutz, Caught In The Whole, Opposing Force, Blue Light Special, The Rain, Simple Rhyme, and Solstice. The show began shortly after the designated 7:30 starting time with the band Nutz. The band performed a highly energetic set. The highlight of the set came when the band performed its version of the classic "Knockin On Heaven's Door." The next band to perform was Blue Light Special, a rhythm and blues review. Special was the defending Battle of the Bands champ, and they also had the larg- est number of members in their band. Highlights of their set came when they performed "Soul Man" and the Otis Redding classic "Hard To Handle". The third performers were a band called Caught In The Whole. The music definitely started to speed up as this band took the stage. They also succeeding in getting the audience involved when they threw a small stuffed rodent out into the crowd. Opposing Force was the next group to take the stage. The band has been together only one month, but they inspired a big crowd of people to dance during their set. The next band to perform was called The Rain. Their music could best be described as al temative/classic rock. Two of the members shared lead vocal duties and they covered many classic songs. The sixth band to perform was called Simple Rhyme. Rhyme was formed in September of last year and the group performed mainly original tunes. They did, however, do one cover 11, 1991 of Poison's "Fallen Angel". An emotional moment came at the end of their set when some of the band members carried an American flag onto the stage. The final band to perform was Solstice. Solstice was formed back in August of last year, and the band played all original material and showed great energy and enthusiasm during their set. They also inspired a little cheering section in the crowd which started a Solstice chant. The definite high point of the evening came when the winners of the competition were announced. All the bands were judged on three important characteristics: originality, stage performance, and the ability to stay within the time limit. Production chairperson Jamie Curtz brought the judges' decisions onto the stage. The winners were announced in reverse order from third to first. The third place finishers were Nutz, while second place honors THE BEACON/C SHOWDOWN- This past weekend's Battle of the displayed the talent of many Wilkes students. went to Blue Light Special.

Tomassetti reigns as 'Queen of the Wi Director Jane Tomassetti has been a driving force in local theater for over twenty-five years. In that period, she has become one of the area's best known directors. Tomassetti's involvement in theater began thirty-eight years ago in the chorus of the Wilkes-Barre Little Theater's production of The Student Prince. "In those days, if you got a role in the chorus of a show, you were extremely fortun ate, " said Tomassetti, "The amount of talent that turned out for an audition was incredible, so you took any role that came." After spending nearly ten years in the chorus of various productions, Tomassetti landed a lead role in the production of "Bus Stop." Following this initial step, Tomassetti went on to become a familiar name in area theater. In the late sixties, Tomassetti's career began to take off. She became a founder of the Showcase Theater, which is currently entering its 29th season, and she landed the role of the Miliner in the Richard Harris/Sean Connery film The Mollie Maguires. "We filmed group scenes on a day's notice," Tomassetti stated, "One day, they failed to call me for a scene they were shooting, and when I finally received a phone call apologizing for the mistake, I told them I would be there as soon as possible." The production crew, however, had different ideas. They told Tomassetti to sit tight, and in no time a huge Greyhound bus pulled up in front of her home to "chauffeur" her to the set. "On the whole bus, there was only me THEATER VET- Jane Tomassetti as Andromache in and the driver," Tomassetti laughingly Women. recalled.

PAGES 11, 1991 A virtual symphony of talent Alte~~ative By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor The audience which gathered at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts Monday evening was treated to the inspiring performance of internationally acclaimed cellist Csaba Onczay. Onczay, accompanied by pianist Garbor Fuchs, began the evening with a performance of Boccherini's Adagio and Allegro and then made a very smooth transition into Brahms' Sonata for Cello and Piano in F Major. Following a brief intermission, Onczay continued to display his classical repertoire as he flowed through pieces like Kodaly's Sonata for Cello Solo and Debussy's Sonata for Cello and Piano. Onczay's performance, another segment of Wilkes' continuing Concert and Lecture Series, was only a small indication of the cellist's vast talent and popularity. Onczay has performed with distinguished orchestras throughout Europe including the Vienna Symphony, the Berlin Symphony and Radio Orchestra, . the Leipzig Gewandhaus, and all of the leading Hungarian orchestras. He has studied at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest with Antal Friss and at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow with S.P. Shirinsky. Onczay made his American debut at New York's WolfTrap in 1984 and has since performed in San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, and New Hampshire. His vast repertoire includes forty cello concertos and all of the solo literature for cello composed by artists like Bach and various contemporary composers. The cello which Onczay uses in his performances is a master instrument which was made in 18th century Venice by Matteo Gofriller. Onczay' s performance Monday evening was both beautiful and inspiring. The musician's repertoire displayed the talent which has placed him among the finest cellists of his generation . . THE BEACON/Dale Nat CLASSIC TALENT- Cellist Csaba Onczay performed Monday evening in the Darte Center. 'Inspector' comes to town Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector Genera/, a delightfully entertaining nineteenth century Russian satire, will be presented in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts from April 18 to April 21. The production, which is sponsored by the Department of Music, Theater, and Dance and the Wilkes Concert and Lecture Series, will be guest directed by John Lavamway from SUNY, Binghamton. The set is being designed under the direction of Wilkes technical director John Swanson. Gogol, considered to be the greatest comic writer and dramatist of 19th century nussia, created this masterpiece by targeting the greed and duplicity of small town officials.

Our winners ided on personality and on how they presented themselves." Now, however, Davis feels that, rather than these superficial qualities, students should be challenged with a more intellectual investigation. "They're the best students," Davis commented, "Scholars expect more." Davis collaborated with Dr. George Waldner, Vice President for Academic Affairs, to create a new competition format. Waldner and Davis did not, however, alter the earlier qualifying conditions of the contestants; they simply added to them. Along with class rank and SAT scores, GPA and school curriculum were added to the list of qualifications. "SAT scores are not the best predictor of academic performance," Davis said, "We want students who are also well-prepared." A "well-prepared" student, according to the new criteria, is one who has taken five years of math, five years of science, and three years of a foreign language in high school. about a general topic, such as the environment or genetic engineering. The student was then required to·write an essay based on this discussion. The interview of the past materialized in the discussion round. Without the formality of the panel interview, the students were much more relaxed. Before the actual interview took place, the students were sent magazine articles on their topics which acted as a springboard to the discussion. "We wanted to see how prepared the students would be without actually being told to be prepared," Davis commented, "They were really tested." This year, Wilkes held two sessions of competition with finalists selected after each session. Judges reviewed the finalists' essays to ultimately determine the six Trustee Scholars. A new generation of scholars and a new scholarship competition are both ready to follow and increase the Wilkes tradition. The 47 students who were selected as finalists this year also faced a revamped competition. Instead of a panel interview, the students met in groups with a faculty "leader" to talk citals scheduled Suite" by William Kraft, "Rajah" by Geol'"ge Hamilton Green, an arrangement of Schubert's "Erlkonig" for marimbas and voice, "Carousel" by Double Image, and "Surrounding Waves," an original composition by Peeler.

While growing up in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, Wilkes University pitching coach Bob Duliba was not your normal young boy who dreamed of playing major league baseball one day. But it was Frank Barn, who took Duliba under his wing and influenced his career the most. "Frank had pitched in the major leagues and was finishing his career at Omaha," said Duliba. "He always told me just throw what you have, don't get fancy. I'll never forget the day I was called up, he told me the same thing, just throw what you have and you'll find out soon enough if they can hit it." Duliba never fantisized of winning the seventh game of the World Series or throwing a no hitter while he played with his friends in the local sandlots. "I would rather fish or hunt," said Duliba. At the now defunct Newport Area High School in Nanticoke, Duliba excelled in football. He became an all scholastic tailback and recieved scholarship offers from Maryland and Georgia. Football, however, was not in the Cards. St. Louis was. While on the mound against rival Nanticoke High School, Duliba struck out 20 batters. With several scouts in attendance that day, Duliba's ticket appeared to be stamped. He was signed by St. Louis Cardinals' scout Pop Breckenridge in 1952. Duliba then bounced around for three years in the minor leagues before his career was interrupted by a four-year stint in the Marine Corps. When he returned, he got his sh~t. "When I got out of the Marine Corps in 1959 I went back to the Cardinals farm team in Omaha, Nebraska," said Duliba. "I pitched half the year there then I was called up." Duliba was called up in July of 1959 with another promising young pitcher, by the name Bob Gibson. "Bob and I became pretty good friends," said Duliba. "After getting called up together and riding the plane together to St. Louis, we wound up pitching together in winter ball a couple of years. Bob and Ray Sadecki (also with the Duliba's emotions ran from scared to happy on that day, and he admits to having the butterflies. You would to if the first hitter you faced was future Hall of Farner Willie Mays of the Giants. "I got Willie Mays out but then I gave up three straight singles," said Duliba. "I then had the next batter line out to me and we turned a double play, and that was my debut." Duliba pitched for the Cardinals in 1959, 60, 62 and then for the Los Angeles Angels in 1963 and 1964. He also spent time with Boston in 1965 and Kansas City in 1967. He compiled a career mark of 17-12 with 14 saves and a 3 47 ERA. He pitched 257 innings, struck out 129, and walked 96. He broke in with a fastball and a curve, but his sinker became his bread and butter. "I broke in pitching relief so all you needed was a fastball and curve," said Duliba. !'But I eventually developed a the sinker. It was my best pitch I had good control on it and kept it down in the strike zone. "I also threw a slider and late in my career I threw a knuckle ball." Duliba also admits to breaking the rules a little. "I threw a spit ball," Duliba said with a laugh. "Every body tried it and you could get away with it, so why not?" the Co II out innes e run the 7th YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS!-Wilkes' hurler releases pitch for a successful strike. en lost !kins ofi n. st 7-3 "I never saw him pitch in the major leagues but when I was playing at Wilkes in 1972, a year in which we won the MAC championship, I caught him for the second team in an intra squad scrimmage," said current Wilkes head man Jerry Bavitz. "He struck out 14 of the 15 batters he faced and the one guy who didn't strike out bunted. I think I still have bruises from him. His ball would move and drop so much I couldn't catch it. He was at the end of his career then so I'm sure he had better stuff when he pitched in the majors. To pitch as · long as he did you had to be good." "In my opinion it was better back then," said Duliba. "Guys spent four or five years in the minor leagues trying to prove themselves. Today guys have a better shot because there are more teams."

This is why the Wilkes University golf team faced as they opened their season to winter-like conditions during the "wann weather" break. The squad hoped their trek south into Selinsgrove would help them to find the warmer weather, but the Susquehanna University Invitational Tournament became a battle of endurance as the Colonels strugglec! to a fourth place finish in the ten team field. 'Tm disappointed that we didn't do better, but I'm not upset," said coach Rollie Schmidt. Western Maryland won the tournament with a team total of 398, followed by Susquehanna (405), York (415), and Wilkes (419). Sean Felty led the Colonels with a 78 that placed him fifth in the tournament. Other Wilkes scorers were: Ken Sands, 82; Tim Snyder, 84; Scott Brady, 86; Rob Cella, 89; Craig Alne, 96; and John Pirich, 100. "We haven't been able to practice much with the weather the way it has been," said Rob Cella, senior. "Some of the other teams had a chance to travel to Florida before playiqg here." The three teams that finished ahead of Wilkes did have to opportunity to venture south and enjoy more acceptable conditions to practice in. Susquehanna and York made their way to Florida for a week while Western Maryland played in South Carolina. The Colonels felt they may have experienced greater success if they had had the same opportunity. As the Wilkes University student body returned to classes the golf team also returned to action. The squad traveled to the Hershey Country Club in search of "sweet" victory in a quad meet against Elizabethtown, Albright, and Messiah. The team was met in Hershey by the same cold, blustery conditions they have become accustomed to in the spring. "I just wish we could catch a break and play in some decent weather," commented sophomore Sean Felty. "But then again I might not know how to play in nice weather." Felty played remarkably well over the wind-blown course posting an impressive 78, capturing medalist honors. The rest of the team was not as fortunate. The team could not pull themselves over the top as Elizabethtown shot 413 and pulled away from the second place Colonels who totaled 422. Albright (466) and Messiah (464) finished third and fourth. "I just couldn't get anything going out there today," said freshman Tom Snyder, who finished with 84. "I guess the rest of the guys could say the same thing." Snyder was followed by Ken Sands (85), Rob Cella (86), Scott Brady (89), Rob McDonald (97), and Craig Alne (100). The Colonels are hoping that their luck will improve as the weather changes as they play against Scranton and Misericordia at nearby Wilkes-Barre Municipal Golf Course on Thursday, April 4. During the week of April 8, the squad will travel to the Lehigh Country Club to face Muhlenberg and King's. On Thursday they will travel to the Saucon Valley country Club to play Moravian and King's. ✓ �..................................... . . PAGE12 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ : : : WINGS! WINGS ! WINGS!

It's an epidemic that is spreading across college campuses throughout the country. Many of the victims remain silent, never getting the help they need. The crime is date rape and it has become a national issue. Wilkes University addressed this issue Tuesday night in a special program titled "Campus Rape" at Rumours. Panelists included Gerald Cookus, Wilkes Security Chief; Karen 'Lazar, an educational assistant at the Victim Resource Center and Cindy Liskov; a doctor in the emergency room at General Hospital. Gerald Cookus informed the students of steps that could be taken in order to prevent a rape. "Avoid taking shortcuts, walk in groups and, most.importantly, use common sense," he said. Cookus said that self-defense is often helpful in preventing rape, but should not be totally relied upon, since the rapist could use a weapon. ·According to Karen Lazar, people need to become educated about the seriousness of the crime. "Many people are making uninformed decisions because they don't have the facts," she said. Diane O'Brien, coordinator of Health Services, and Tracy Nolan, an intern al campus counseling, helped organize the program. O'Brien said that it is essential that the rape victim gets a physical examination so that the case is medically documented. ■ See RAPE, page 3 Wilkes University President Christopher Breiseth, will moderate the session, which is titled "A Primer-What Can You Do To Improve the Environment?"

It's called multicultural education, and it has come under blistering attack. Multiculturalism is an attempt by education reformers to end America's cultural illiteracy. It is for us the educational equivalent of glasnost. Instead of going to school and just learning about the great Western writers, poets, artists and thinkers, students in multicultural education programs are exposed to an even broader world of knowledge. They learn about Asian culture, African civilizations and the indigenous populations of South America. They are shown how non-Western cultures treat women and minorities. Some of what they are taught is controversial, as is often the case with new ideas and approaches to learning. · But given the global village we now all inhabit, any successful attempt to close the door to such learning will reduce us to a nation overrun by functional illiterates. Ever since Thomas Paine incited the American colonists to revolution, education has been used in this country to define our existence. American and world history that children in the United States are taught has been largely a reflection of the way Europeans and their American descendants view the world. This is not to say that such a narrow view of the world lacks legitimacy, only that it cries out for someone to fill in the blanks. When officials at Stanford University tried to do just that last year, the cultural isolationists crawled out from behind their barricades and howled in protest. Led by former Education Secretary William Bennett, the protesters decried the school's policy requiring freshmen to take a course in which they would study the works from at least one non-European culture. According to Bennett, this constitutes an assault on traditional Western values. "This is regressive," he was heard to squeal. "What are we doing?" What indeed? Earlier this month, the cry was taken up in Forbes magazine by Dinesh D' Souza, a cultural isolationist who calls multicultural education "the propaganda of the new barbarians." D' Souza is the most recent point man for those who believe Western civilization is the tap root of all knowledge. "The central thrust of this 'basic transformation,' " he writes, "involves replacing traditional core curriculums - consisting of great works of Western culture with curriculums favored by minority, female and Third World authors." Buncombe. When I was an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland, a professor often said to me: "There's a big difference between getting an education and being an educated person." The former, I later came to understand, is only measured by one's success in meeting the requirements of graduation. The latter demands that real learning take place. And of course, the ·more you learn, the better educated you will be. Those who believe the mere study of W estem culture is a limit beyond which students need not go are people who would doom our nation to steep a slide from greatness. They try to ward off the rapid approach of enlightenment that multicultural education brings by suggesting that it will rape and pillage our own culture like an invading horde. In fact, what frightens them most is the shattering of myths and the debunking of the "truths" born of our cultural isolation. It cannot harm students who spent most of their primary and secondary educations immersed in the study of Western culture to take a few college-level courses to explore the culture of others. No great society can long maintain a position of world leadership and dominance by military might alone. Just as the great thinkets of ancient Greece studied the works of Chinese scholars and the Crusaders learned from Islamic culture, so too must we expand the limits of our knowledge. That is in essence what multicultural education is all about.

Special guest director John Lavarnway has been brought in to direct the play. Lavarnway is currentl y pursuing his Master's degree at SUNY, Binghamton, and has directed several plays in th at area. This will be his first project in Wilkes-Barre area. Chri stine Brunnock, a Wilkes senior who will play the role of Anna Andreyevna, has enjoyed working with Lavarnway. "It is definitely an experience, you get exposed to many different perspectives," Brunnock commented. The production is sponsored by the Wilkes University Department of Music, Theater, and Dance and the Wilkes Co ncert and Lecture Series, A Salute to Eastern Europe. Gogol, considered to be one of the greatest comic writers and dramatists of 19th century Russia, creates this masterpiece by targeting the greed and duplicity of small town officials. APR. 18,1991 The play relates the story of a mayor of a sm all provincial town, played by David Zimmerman , who receives news th at an in spector general is traveling incognito from St. Petersburg to inspect his administration. The mayor and his officials are terrified by this because they know that their town is full of corruption. At the same time Khlestakov, a yo ung government clerk, played by Wilkes student Paul Winarski, arrives in town and lodges at the local inn. Khlestakov, who is mistaken for the inspector general by town officials, spends all of his money on cards, clothes, and women. Theater department director Dr. Michael O'Neill believes that the plot of The Inspector General is very relevant in today's society. "The play is very relevant today because it satirizes bureaucracy," O'Neill said. THE BEACON GENERAL INSPECTION- Members of the cast this weeke nd's production .

A graduate of Boston College, Vernon earned both his MA and Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis. He also received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1990. Although most of Vernon's works are historical in either theme or setting, he takes most pride in his work as a literary novelist. "Most of my work is historical in theme or setting, but I consider myself a literary novelist first and foremost. My aspiration is to create works of art which will entertain and instruct a literate audience," Vernon commented. Vernon's novels are the products of a combination of historical research and fiction.

"That is the second time Dave Kaschak has come up with a clutch home to win the game," said Bavitz. "He hit a three run homer in Florida to win a game for us also." The Colonels used an 18 hit out burst to propel them to the win. Steve Klem went 3-5, Steve Endres, 2-5, John Comerford, 3-5, Bill Ulicny, 3-4, and Jason Cadwalder, 3-4 with 5 Rbl's.

"He is going to have to score again and set up other people," said Wingert. "Other teams are going to be really aware of him and try and take him out of the game. But his style makes it difficult to take out of the game. He gets as much satisfaction from an assist as from a goal."

"I think the year went very Iset goals for myself and reached them for the being only a second year player? "I don't think it was a surprise to everyone, but he might have surprised some people," said Wingert. "He won't be able to do that next year. In the tournaments we have been playing in since the seasons end, he is still scoring. Opposing coaches are always asking, Who is this guy ? Where did you get him ? He's impressive." Carson, a junior from Williamsport, has been a star for the Colonels in basketball and softball for the last three years. But this year she decided she needed another hobby. Soccer it was. "I joined soccer because I thought it would be a good conditioner for the basketball season," said Carson. "I went out because my friends encouraged me a~d because I wanted to." Carson played left half back and made the most of the season, despite winning only one game. By the time basketball season rolled around, she was in tip top shape. Her statistics proved that. She averaged 12 points and led the team with 81 assists. She also led the Lady Coldnels with 13 baskets from behind the three point arc. "I like basketball the best," said Carson. "The season last the longest and you are always active because there is always something you have to do." Carson is enthusiastic about the appointment of Karen Haag as the new womens basketball coach, but at the same time, sad to see Mary Jo Hromchak leave. "I met the new coach once," said Carson. "She was nice, I think she will help us a lot next season. She seems to know what she is talking about." "But I'm very upset that MJ is leaving. She was a great coach and I could relate to her. But it took so much of her time with her family." Speaking of time, how does Carson balance her academics and athletics? Very well, thank you. The psychology and elementary education major has maintained a cumulative grade point average of 2.9. "Being involved with all these sports helps me manage my time better," said Carson. "You always have a set schedule with your school work, classes and practices." Carson is currently hitting .300 for the softball team. She has ten hits, seven stolen Mses, and eleven runs scored while running the show from the behind the plate. "Denise is the type of player that shows determination in her playing style and is aggresive but controlled," said head softball coach Addy Malatesta. "She has the ideal makeup of a high caliber athlete. Her teamates have a great deal of respect for her." Malatesta has had the priveledge of both coaching and watching Carson. She hasn't been disapointed in either sense. "I've seen her play soccer and basketball and she always gives 100% to her coaches and teammates," said Malatesta.

"What hath America wrought?" These were the words former Illinois Congressman Paul Findley used to describe America's involvement in the situation in the Middle East. Findley told of the horrors he 'Vitnessed first hand during his recent visits to Kuwait. He said Kuwait City had been changed from a sparkling gem of a city to a bloody and black pile of ruin. Findley, who considers himself almost 100% Arab, feels Israel is the only true winner in the Persian Gulf War. The war, Findley said, has created a new sympathy toward Israel in the United States . .Unfortunately, according to Findley, there will never be peace in the Middle East as long as this sympathy continues. The former Congressman stated that a demilitarized Middle East is the only solution to peace, and as long as the United States continues to support Israel's "expantionistic government;" there will be no hope for peace in the regio1,1. "Peace in the Middle East will be fought and won on the American country side," said Findley." In addition to being a former Congressman, Findley is also a best selling author.

Time when May primary candidates litter the landscape with campaign signs. This year the signs are in excess, with seventeen candidates running for Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge. In an attempt to educate the public, Wilkes University Pre-Law Association and the Wilkes-Barre Area League of Women's Voters are co-sponsoring a Judicial Forum on May 1 at 7 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for Performing Arts. Elaine Tweedy, President of the Wilkes-Barre Area League of Women Voters and Christopher Jane Elmes-Crahall Breiseth, Wilkes University president, will offer opening and closing remarks, respectively. Jane Elmes-Crahall, Wilkes Professor of Communications and member of the League of Women Voters, and Al Mueller, a senior communications major and president of the Wilkes Pre-Law Candidates will be given a time limit of 2 1/2 minutes to answer the questions of qualifications: Why do you wish to become a common pleas judge? What trial experience do you have? What special strengths do you possess that qualify you for judge? In addition, two questions will be drawn by lottery providing a variety of questions and information. Candidates will be given 1 1/2 minutes to answer the lottery questions. Association, will co-moderate the event. "This is ~xcellent experience for Al Mueller and a true test of poise," said Elmes-Crahall. Elmes-Crahall also said this will be the only non-partisan forum before the primary on May 7. The large number of judicial candidates is making it difficult for voters to keep track of who's who. "It will be interesting to see how the seventeen candidates try to distinguish themselves from each other," said Elmes-Crahall. According to Elmes-Crahall, the biggest problem in organizing the event was setting a time limit on the candidates answers. "Jane and I will try to keep the forum to a dull roar ," Mueller added.

Candidates for president indudeTom nand Gina Lupini. WASHING TON The approval Tuesday of a seven-day waiting period to buy a handgun by a 2-1 margin in the House fudiciary Committee - signaled likely passage when the bill comes before the full House early next month. Six Republicans who had opposed the bill in 1988, when the House narrowly rejected it, voted with 17 Democrats, approving the measure 23-11. "I believe Congress is on the verge of transforming public opinion into public policy," Rep. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said. He cited polls showing strong support for curbing handgun sales and "disgust with the bloody violence in our streets." He said Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash., has promised House consideration May 7 or 8. The Senate also could take up a crime-control package next month that includes a handgun waiting period. Opponents of the Brady bill named for former White House press secretary James Brady, who was wounded with President Reagan in 1981 - had complained that police could block a sale by refusing to check whether a prospective gun buyer had a criminal record. To rectify this, the panel accepted a Schumer amendment that gun dealers keep evidence - a certified mail receipt would suffice - that police were notified of a pending sale. If police don't move to block the sale within seven days, it could go through. Turned down, also 23-11, was an alternative bill offered by Rep. Harley Staggers Jr., D-W.Va., to require states to set up computerized checks of criminal records by gun dealers at "point of sale." "We can do in seven minutes what can be done in seven days," he said, explaining that it takes much longer than a week to do a thorough background check, including fingerprint records. But supporters of the Brady bill said most states were years - and perhaps millions of dollars - away from having criminal records on computer. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said that whatever the shortcomings of the Brady bill, it would give local police time to head off handgun sales to not only ex-convicts but persons with histories of mental illness or drug abuse. Of such sales, he said: "There's a concern among the people. Let there be a concern in Congress." Opponents also charged the Brady bill would prevent law-abiding citizens - whose lives may be threatened - from quickly buying a handgun while criminals could easily buy guns through illegal channels. "The Brady bill is like a gun without a trigger," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas. "It may look good on the wall but it doesn't work." (Norm Brewer writes for Gannett News Service.)

Tuition has always been a students/parents, but with the recently ann tuition increase (the largest tuition increase in Wilkes could make it even harder to pay for an education at just doesn't seem fair that we, as a school with a of middle class students, have to pay these amounts. Also, this year, after almost 20 years, class is asking the graduating students for $100 as a the graduating class. Isn't enough enough? It j seem to add up, or does it? ~ ~ Support the gay community Dear editor: An incident that occurred on campus during the spring semester has been recently been brought to my attention. Apparently, two women in Evans Hall were engaged in an intimate relationship. Certain people found out about it, some boys with a camcorder "exposed" lesbianism on campus. One of the women dropped out of Wilkes to avoid further scandal, while the other decided to stay. My kudos go to her for deciding to stick it out. I am writing to urge the Wilkes community to start a gay/lesbian support group on campus. This has been a need for the campus for some time now. As we all should know, one out of every ten people are homosexual. The Wyoming Valley is no exception. Wilkes needs to come out of the dark ages and provide a safe, supportive environment for its homosexual students. As a lesbian, I had little support at Wilkes, save for a few wonderful friends and Mark Sowcek. It was very hard for me to v.:.lidate my feelings when there was no common ground for me to meet other lesbians and talk about who we were. Most of the women I had relationships with were from colleges that had support services on campus. They were strong and helped me understand my love for women because they ~ere gett~ng direction and validation from their respective campuses. I met my current partner at Wilkes my senior year. We have been together for almost three years. We are proud of our relationship and often wonder how we ever met, considering the homophobic atmosphere at Wilkes. We are "out" to family, friends, and co-workers. I would be happy to correspond with anyone who is having concerns about his/her sexuality. I would also try my best to donate funds, though small on my salary, to start and maintain such group. Perhaps Wilkes could even put this letter in the Quarterly to solicit funds and other support, confidentially if need be. I know quite a few gay/lesbian alumni who would stand behind this idea. It sickens me that we are still being oppressed at Wilkes. This is the age of AIDS, and the concerns with thi~ disease are ones of life and death. I am currently far away, but I visit the East Coast about once a year. If anyone ever wants someone to come and speak about being gay, I would be honored to stop in and talk with all who are interested. I had many wonderful experiences at Wilkes and do not regret my choice to attend. I only wish I had been sure enough and stro~g enough to demand a gay/lesbian support/social club be formed.

I would now try to give a summary of the plot, however, those familiar with the likes of Russian authors and playwrights, will tell you how they love to write on and on and on ... To give those who couldn't find three hours out of their schedules to see this production an idea of what they missed, The Inspector General tells the tale of corrupt officials, bribery, and mistaken identity while cleverly pacing itself toward an amusing final scene in which justice is served on an icy platter of realized misconception. As I entered the theater Sunday afternoon, I began to realize that I was in store for a perspective of Wilkes theater that I was unaccustomed to. After a brief visit to the ticket booth, I mounted the staircase which led to the entrance of the theater. It was then that I was directed to follow the staircase down through the theater to find a seat ... on stage!

Comedy 'In All Seriousness' Ily ANDREA SIL VI Beacon Feature Editor There will be absolutely no 'seriousness' allowed this weekend at Rumours. The Comedy Troupe In All Seriousness will be bringing their unique brand of comedy to Wilkes' nightclub Friday evening at 8 p.m. The troupe has been performing thejr hilarious routines throughout the U.S. for audiences of all ages. They have most recently performed at universities and colleges like Notre Dame, Kent St~te, and Penn State at Behrend. Their unusual live performance mixes skits, commercials, song parodies, stand-up and improvisational methods. The troupe also conducts workshops which offer instruction in improvisational techniques to inspire self-confidence in students. In All Seriousness includes the vast talents of Sue Berthold, a comedienne and musician from Cleveland, OH.; Bill De Lozier, a character master from Buffalo, NY.; Jim Gandolfo, an actor and accomplished streetmime from Brooklyn, NY.; Jane Harrington, a top-notch comedienne and smger from Albion, PA.; _ Mike Kohlmiller, the troupe's "financial genius" from Erie, PA.; John Stockhausen, a professional dancer from Pittsburgh, PA.; and Mark Tanenbaum, a dancer, choreographer, and professional auctioneer from Erie, PA. According to Nicolette Yevich, Programming Board Novelty Chairperson, the comedy troupe's appearance at Wilkes will be a perform Friday night in Rumours. welcome change in entertainment for the University. "There has never been a comedy troupe here at Wilkes since I have been here, Yevich said, "They've gone over big at other schools and I am ·really anxious to see how they go over with the students here."

This young buck picked up his racket and played, hitting the ball at his summer house in upstate New York. When he was seven, Corbett began his annual trek to the United States Open in Flushing Medows, New York. He has yet to miss one since that day. Corbett has also watched the Virginia Slims Tournament in Madison Square Garden, thanks to a little nepotism. His father, William, was the public relations director of the event. The fact that Corbett's high school in Floral Park, Long Island, didn't have a tennis team didn't stop him from playing. He just played in U.S. Tennis Association tournaments. Spencer Corbett is a tennis junkie. He can't get enough, whether he is playing or watching. That probably explains why Corbett is the only senior on this years mens tennis team. How else could you explain his unyeilding commitment to a team that picked up its first conference win in four years . earlier this month against Lycoming? "I've always loved tennis but I never thought I would be a pro or anything," said Corbett. 'Tm just happy to play at the college level." CorbeJt, the Colonels number four player, is having a pretty successful year. His record stands at 7-9. Head tennis coach Greg Burton wishes he had a couple of Corbett clones. "Spencer is real steady, he plays within himself," said number five, will also return. "I think we have a pretty solid group," "We are slowly building." Burton. "He makes his opponent work for every point. I wish we could get more guys to play like him." The Colonels two wins this year doubled last years total. Corbett sees this is a step in the right direction. "I think the team will do pretty well next year," said Corbett. "I would like to see them win. We could've had another win this year but our match with Juniata was rained out." Burton is currently in the process of recruiting, has been tough with his double duty of assistant ~ coach. "We are currently talking with some kids," said "If we could get them we would have a strong team. won't tum around over night, but if we are .500 next will be happy." And could you imagine how happy Burton would one of those recruits turns out to be a Spencer Corbett Corbett will team with freshman Darren Micheal, the number six singles player, at next months Middle Atlantic Championship. The two have yet to win, but Corbett is not discouraged. "We just started playing together, so if we get a couple more matches in we could improve," said Corbett. "Darren is a really good player, and this will be my last match on the college level, so I'll be aggresive and give it my all." The MAC Championships will be Corbett's last performance, but the rest of the squad will be back. Doug Meade and Jerry Matteo, the teams current number one and two players, will return. Doug Greaser, at number three, and Steve Karch, at Wilkes-Barre Rocket lands in Toront By RICK BOZICH Apple College Information Network Before Raghib Ismail snatched the nickname "Rocket" outright, there was this rocket-armed quarterback from West Virginia who rolled into the 1989 college football season as the frontrunner in the Reisman Trophy race. His name was ... errr ... uhhh ... welllll. Sergeant Harris? No. Phil Harris? Almost. Harrison Ford? Get serious. Major Harris. That's right, isn't it? Major Harris. Sure. Whatever happened to Major Harris? What team will he lead to the Super Bowl next fall? Icalledthesportsinformation office at West Virginia to ask about Harris, the guy who led the Mountaineers to within one game of the national title in 1988. Then I remembered he had left school one year early to play professional football, in Canada, I believe. Where is Major Harris playing football today? "That's a good question," the voice from West Virginia said. "Let kept derdid the ColOJ score 3 left w i -2 lead. egame ~ me check on that." Somebody put me on hold. "He's playing for British Columbia in the Canadian Football League. He's a backup to Doug Flutie." Would somebody please get word to Rocket Ismail that by signing with the Torontc :ronauts - correction: Argonauts he is about to enter football's answer to the FBI Witness Protection Program? The CFL is where you go when you need to disappear for a while. You can ask Harris or Doug Flu tie or Tony Rice or Vince Ferragamo - after a team of private investigators finds them. You've probably forgotten that before Warren Moon joined the Houston Oilers, he quarterbacked in the CFL. That's OK. Warren has forgotten, too. The eight-team CFL is such a big thing in Canada that it does not have a team in Montreal, which would be the equivalent of the National Football League not having a team in Los Angeles. The CFL is such a big thing in Toronto that the Argonauts rarely fill The SkyDome, their home stadium, the same place the Toronto Blue Jays filled 58 consecutive times for baseball. For a guy who thrilled us with the marvelous things he did with punts, Rocket sure fumbled this one, turning down a chance to play with the Dallas Cowboys to head for Canada. Notre Dame featured Rocket as a big-play specialist, but the little guy ran this one back to the wrong end zone. Dollar for dollar, there's no doubt the Toronto contract delivers more guaranteed money. It is as much as $18 million according to some reports, along with other perks that could push the total fouryearpackage to $26.2 million. And, maybe the pass-oriented CFL, with its wider field and deeper end zone, is structured perfectly for Ismail's skills. And there's the talk that the Rocket is the guy who will energize the CFL. Doesn't that sound strang<'1y sim ilar to the talk that Pele would make soccer an American pastime, that Herschel Walker would guarantee the success of the United States Football League and that Danny Ferry would lead ' an exodus of American collegians to the Italian professional basketball league? Sorry. Rocket had a chance to be more than just another guy who' II hold the record for the most lucrative contract in sports for the next 15 minutes (see Joe Montana, Jose Canseco, Patrick Ewing, Roger Clemens and assorted others for details.) He could have pursued Jerry Rice for the title of No. 1 game-breaker. Rocket always hinted that his talent was special at Notre Dame, but he could have confirmed it with the Cowboys. And if money and fame are the Orange Bowl last January said the Rocket had the "[ functional football speed" he seen. Whathemeantishehadne seen a player elude tacklers so ily. Sure, the Dallas Cowboys fered Ismail only a reported million for 1991 or $9 million five years. But Dallas is a place to play professional foo Finances would have never heal worry for Rocket. what drive you, Rocket could have replaced Bo Jackson and chased Michael Jordan in the endorsement sweepstakes. Rocket plays a position where big plays are possible anytime the ball drops into his hands. And he's got the Notre Dame pedigree that made his one-word nickname instantly recognizable before he left the South Bend campus.

On Monday, the Colonels rallied for seven runs after trailing 9-1 early, but were held off against the Greyhounds of Moravian, 9-8. Saturday afternoon the Colonels. dropped two games to a fine Juniata squad. The Indians are 19-7. In game one, the Colonels got behind early, rallied, and agian fell short, 8-6. In game two, pitcher Rich Heitman was forced -to take the ball without his best stuff. Heitman looked like he was throwing batting practice as the Colonels were big losers. "With all the games we have had, Rich had to take the ball and go," said Bavitz. "He didn't get much on the ball and Juniata is a really fine hitting team." Last Thursday, behind fine pitching performances by Joe Kish, who missed getting the win by one-third of an out, and Harry Ardoline, the Colonels beat Division II Bloomsburg. "That was good win, they are in first place in their conference," said Bavitz. With eight games in the next week, Bavitz will be hoping for some consistent pitching. "Our hitting has been pretty consistent," said Bavitz. "The Delaware Valley coach said we were the best hitting team they faced all year. But our pitching has been inconsistent. Hopefully some of the guys will step up." Here is the busy slate for the upcoming week: Thursday the Colonels travel to play the Monarchs at Kings, Saturday they play a double header at 1 p.m. against Dickinson. On Sunday they travel to Harrisburg to play two against Penn State Capital. On Monday, they play at Allentown, and play two against King's, one on Tuesday and another Wednesday. "If we get everyone to concentrate and do their part, we will be fine," said Bavitz. Busy, but fine.

Wittman, currently a junior, edged out opponent Gina Lupini in a close election, with 190 votes to her 168. Wittman had nothing but praise for his opposition, however, stating "She worked hard and it could have gone either way." As Student Government President, Wittman feels his biggest challenge will be to overcome student apathy on campus. To combat this he plans to form a promotions committee to keep a newsletter which he hopes will make students more aware of campus activities. "I'm going to do as much as I can to increase interest in Student Government events," said Wittman. Wittman also plans on beginning a weekly bulletin of Student Government events in an attempt to increase interest in the campus. Community activity is another area in which Wittman plans to improve as newly elected president. To this end, he would like to institute programs which will promote community activity and awareness among students. "Students should be aware of their surroundings both locally and nationally," said Willman. A Political Science major, Wittman had previously served as Student Government Junior Class Representative. He is also active as a Resident Assistant and a member of the Baseball Team.

"Stress is the direct result of stressors," Adair stated, "And at this time of the year, students are feeling pressure from all directions. Not only are academic concerns stressors for college students, but the list also includes personal and social concerns." The most common stressors for college students are upcoming exams, studying, and, most importantly, time constraints.

Candidates running for Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge answered questions concerning their qualifications. In order to provide a mix of information questions were also randomly chosen through a loltery system. During the questions of qualifications, candidates referred to courtroom and military experience. "Experience in the courtroom is of vital necessity. The decisions of a judge should reflect the lifestyle and values of the judge," said candidate Atty. Kopcha Katlic. The lottery questions reflected issues concerning the presence of television cameras in the courtroom, the judge's role in the community, and ways to relieve the backlog of civil cases in the court Candidate Atty. Bufalino believes the presence of television cameras in the courtroom causes a constitutional conflict "A TV camera's presence at a trial raises a conflict between the right to a trial and the freedom of press," said Bufalino. Candidate Atty. Augello believes the judge should stay active in community organizations "especially in groups that educate youth of Luzerne County."

I do not remember the last time I have read an editorial so full of ccurate information as the editorial, "Drugs, a High Price for a High." our use of the word "often" is often misleading. A person does not often ome addicted when using drugs, even when a person is experiencing blems. Addiction is the exception, not the rule. Also, people do not 'get into drugs through pushers."

In addition, you refer to how drug use rates are down among college uudents and then go on to say, "the younger crowd still needs to be ucated," implying that drug use is much worse of a problem among high ihool students than among college students. However, drug use rates among high school students are roughly the same as they are among college students, according to the same survey. Why do they have the !igger problem? Finally, you perpetuate the most prevalent myth of drug hysteria, namely that illicit drugs are the problem. Alcohol is not mentioned even mough on almost any criteria alcohol is equally dangerous, if not more fangerous, as illicit drugs. In addition, 400,000 deaths per year are ntributable to tobacco and alcohol use. The double standard persists and me problems associated with alcohol and tobacco continue unabated. Meanwhile, the propagandistic pep rallies supporting the "anti-drug cause" remains selective in its focus and its solution to the problems of drugs. . :--- . . . .· . . .. .· . ., . .. . . . __--_ :· ATTEN TION May · Graduates: The Academic Standards Committee will meet on Wednesday, May 22 to officially approve the Graduation and Honors list.

Mike Garr upport all sports I am writing this letter on behalf of myself and my fellow Wilkes Women's Tennis teammates. Yes, Wilkes, you do have a women's tennis team. I have been a starter on the tennis team for the past four years, and in those four years, the team has received almost no monetary support from the athletic departmen t or .recognition from the campus publications. In fact, this year has been the worst yet. Our uniforms are a prime example. Our T-shirts cost the athletic department about seven dollars each. That's it. We have tennis skirts or warm-ups. This year we weren't even supplied tennis sneakers, which is disgraceful. In the past, each of the top six players received money toward the purchase of tennis shoes, which range from $60 - $ 100. This year, because we asked fo r windbreakers, (which cost about $20 less then the $50 we receive for sneakers), we were denied sneakers. As of the writing of this letter, we haven't seen the windbreakers. We have one match left in the season. Wilkes University is VERY unfair when it comes to women's athletics. It doesn't make a difference that out record is 1-8. We are still out in the courts every day, practicing and playing matches. Although it may not be football or wrestling, tennis is a sport, and a sport to which I, as well as my teammates, am dedicated. May I remind Wilkes to consider the football team's record over the past few years. As for recognition, I can just about count on my two hands the number of articles written about the team over the past four years. There has been one yearbook picture since my freshman year. Do you know what it feels like to play a tough match, win, and see no mention of the victory in the paper? How about playing a team who is supplied with matching tennis outfits and warm-ups, when you're wearing a seven dollar T-shirt? How's that for a morale booster? Come on Wilkes, if you are going to support sports, then support EVERY sport. We're all athletes no matter what sex we are are or what sport we play. We all dedicate our time and talent to the sport we love. Shouldn't Wilkes dedicate its time and money to all of the sports played, rather than to a select few? It's too late for me, but five of the top six players will return next year. Please show them that you take pride in what they do. After all, they're members of the WILKES Women's Tennis Team. Sincerely, Amy Schukis Co-Captain, 1991 Women's Tennis Team ·__ · Memories: we all need them I t was the best of times. It was the worst of times. This borrowed expression from Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities could be the best way of describing the typical graauate's rememberance of his experience at Wilkes University as he is preparing to go out into the .world and start a career. Memories, especially fond ones, are the most important when reflecting on a college career. This year's seniors will most likely remember how they felt the day they were dropped off at college, as a freshman, by their family. They may have felt challenged, scared, homesick, happy to get away from their parents, or totally indifferent. Most will remember adjusting to a roommate, especially if they are used to having their own room at home. Getting used to the cafeteria "cuisine" is an experience none of us will ever forget. · ·of course, there have been events happening both at Wilkes and abroad tha.t have affected the entire Wilkes Community. Take, for instance, the protest during the spring of 1989. There was a slight disagreement between the senior class and the administration on where graduation was to be held. The class responded by holding a televised protest. The administration, therefore, changed its decision from holding graduation in the Marts Center to having it over at Ralston Field. Last fall, there was the Anti-Semitism episode . Although a valid campus issue, it was blown just a bit out of proportion with the articles in the local papers. Of course, no one will ever forget the conflict in the Persian Gulf. Reservists attending Wilkes w~re among the members of troops called to serve in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Most people will also remember what they were doing the night of January 16, 1991 when all three networks and CNN announced the war's commencement. Peter Arnett's famous live broadcast from Baghdad describing the first troop movements was a broadcasting first. Nor could anyone forget the night President Bush announced a cease-fire in the Gulf. To the graduates, only one thing can be said: there is nothing which compares to the experience of college. It is the bridge between the agonies of high school and the job world where we all can use our minds freely to create new ideas and goals for ourselves instead of the rigorous, disciplinary systems we were ~xposed to when we were younger. The staff of the Beacon would like to wish the best of luck to all graduates. Best wishes to all of you-and may you never forget your alma mater. JCL �PAGE4 MAY 2, 1991 Stressed out? You're definitely not alo ■ ConJ. from page 1 experience a host of symptoms. "The effects of stress can include increased anxiety, nervousness, lack of concentration and sleep, and change in eating habits," Adair said. According to Ned Smith, liason to the Wilkes Interfaith Fellowship, stress can affect every aspect of our lives. Smith, who has counseled students in the past concerning issues ranging from the Gulf War to study habits, worked in conjunction with the Interfaith Resource Center to sponsor a stress management seminar this past Monday evening. "We are biological, sociological, psychologic3:i, and spiritual animals, and when one of these components is affected, the result is stress," Smith commented. The students of Wilkes University are no exceptions to the effects of stress. Many students are currently feeling the pressures of the end of the semester. Deadlines for papers, tests, and assignments are rapidly drawing near, and students are beginning to experience the symptoms of stress. Carrie Walters, a junior English major, has been working on assignments_and papers as well as preparing for exams since the end of Spring Break. The stress of this time of year is really hitting her hard, and her only hope is to come out of this semester with average grades. "I feel like I can'.t win," Walters stated, "I'm beginning to fall asleep in class because of a lack of sleep, and I feel as if I'll never get out from under all my work." All of this studying and cramming for finals has taken away from many students' social lives. This may seem like a minimal problem, but in order to relieve the tension caused by academic concerns, students must be able to take time away from the things which are causing the stress. "Maybe ifl could get out more, the stress would be reduced, but there is little or no time to have fun when you've got work to do," Walters added, "Last weekend I went to the movies. It was the first time I had been out since Spring Break." Many seniors are also experiencing the end of the year rush, but they also have an extra added concern, graduation. Not only do they have to worry about completing assignments on time, but they are also concerned about finding a job in their respective field after graduation. Senior Kevin McDonald feels that his workload has become overwhelming, and he is anxiously ~waiting May 25th. Due to the amount of work he has to do, McDonald says that he has become irritable and unable to concentrate on academics. "Everything seems to pile up at the end of the semester because I, like many other students, tend to procrastinate and put the big projects off until the very end," McDonald said, "As a result, I've become more irritable and my appetite has gone down. I'm glad the whole thing will be over soon." Whataresomeofthebestways to deal with stress? Many students feel that drinking and partying are cures for stress, but these methods of stress reduction can be even more damaging. THE BEACON STRESS BUSTERS- Two Wilkes students decided to relieve stress by playing some tunes on the River Commons Wed "Negative activities like drinking and partying only act to enhance the feelings of stress," Adair commented, "When the student wakes up. the next morning, his exams, papers, and assignments are still there." According to Adair, the most effective methods for reducing stress are stress management and time management. Through positive thinking and the creation of time schedules, a student can help to ease the pressures of end-of-thesemester stress. By being more in control of their academic work and by setting aside time for work as well as Ric J1 . encounter.

Stress hi procrastinate focus on om pos Godspell needed some divine inspiratio Among the list of high-ranking Broadway hits, Godspell is not considered to be an all-time great. The script itself has many problems, and the manner in which the play is· presented is not entirely logical. Last week, however, the King's players managed to put on a production of the Stephen Shwartz musical that added a lot of fun to the often dull material. Godspell is not a musical in the true sense of the term. It is more of a revue combining the Holy Scriptures of St. Matthew with a lively and touching musical score. Following a weak opening prologue, the show began to gain speed. After the performance of the tune "All For the Best" by the characters of Christ and Judas, the paci of the show flowed much better. As Christ, King's student Steve Graham had a wonderful, easy tenor which stretched to reach the back rows of the theater. In spite of Graham's fine vocals, however, the show was carried by three excellent supporting players. Wilkes Theater and Music major Dana Belson., and King's students James Aragona and Jeapne Krefski. Amy Soph I get the shak draw near, f skippini Krefski, who also scored a hit as' Constance in the recent production of King John, was funny at every turn. Her smooth and sultry rendering of "Turn Back O' Man" was-a great crowd pleaser. BRIGHT SPOT- Wilkes Theater major Dana Belson turned in a fine performance in last week~nd's Godspe/1. Belson clearly possessed one of the finest voices on the stage, and also presented herself to be a fine actress as well. In one scene, the cast is depicted as little children, and Belson's wonderful interpretation of a stage-frightened little girl was priceless. . Belson also had the opportunity to perform "By My Side," the most touching song in the entire production. Her rendition of this classic tune only made it all the more beautiful. Last, but not least, came the performance of James Aragona. As Judas, Aragona was a natural comedian. His parables along with his rendition of "All For the Best" were wonderful examples of the talents of this up and coming young actor. Aragona also proved himself adept at dramatic m as well. His portrayal of the betrayal of Christ provi very touching scene. The rest of the cast, however, did not fare as w these three talented performers. The remaining men · cast, Brian George, Kevin Nolty, and Mike Catell, we than outstanding. Within the play itself, much blocking seemed awkward and some moments exceed bounds of funny and entered into the realm of silliness. · Despite these problems, however, the King's prod of Godspell was enjoyable.

A group of five individuals who have nearly perfected this type of comedy recently made a stop here at Wilkes' Rumours nightclub. In All Seriousness, a three-man, two- woman comedy troupe, took command of the stage and the audience for nearly an hour and 40 minutes perfonning all types of comedy and covering many different subject areas. . A major staple in the troupe's show is the song parody. A parody occurs when the performers use a familiar melody and change the lyrics of the song to make fun of a certain person, product, or situation. Some examples of these included "Midol" to the tune of "My Girl"; "Men" to the tune of "War"; and one tune that got a big response from the women in the audience was "All Us Men Are Slime" to the tune of Billy Joel's "For The Longest Time." Another segment of the show consisted of newly-created commercial skits which advertised some real and some not-so- authentic products. One commercial featured Jim Morrison of The Doors making a pitch for Speed Stick Deodorant. Another commercial skit featured the fictitious product "SLUT Perfume" which contends that "You may not be a slut, but you can smell like one." Another skit featured a way to battle that extremely embarassing dilemma of "Inner Thigh Wetness" with a specially made spray called "ITW". The five performers Sue Berthold, Bill Delozier, Jim Gandalfo, Jane Harrington, and John Stockhausen, along with technician Paul Williams had the crowd at Rumours in "stitches". The Comedy Troupe In All Seriousness was formed back in 1983, and is based in Erie, PA. The group was originally formed when John, Bill and two other owners were doing stand-up and decided to "four-man it". The troupe has played in 43 states, and over the past three semesters, they have played in at least 200 schools. Throughout the entire show, the performers transferred from one type of comedy to another and from one character to another with extremely precise timing. A person may wonder how the performers keep the energy going while on stage. According to . Jane Harringtor the way it works for her is "When the show starts I flip a switch t5> get into that persona.

The current troupe of performers has been in the group the longest span of time and if at any time they get tired or sick there are replacements available. When asked how long they plan to do this, Jane commented, "Till we drop". The members have some recommendations for anyone who may want to get into comedy. Those recommendations include doing your own writing every day because the funniest t,hings come from the most common experiences. Some of the major influences on the comedy troupe have been Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, Red Skelton, and Robin Williams. If you enjoy any of those performers, or if you just enjoy some good old-fashioned comedy, try to check out In All Seriousness. It's an experience you won't regret.
