This figure represents 13.5% of the University's 1992-93 budget. which help them meet their University expenses.

Believe it or not, tuition is going to increase by another six percent fo:ri:he 1992-93 academic year. This announcement doesn't come as much of a surprise to us "seasoned veterans" of Wilkes. Tuition has been increased every year since we've been here. Yes, we've been told time and time again that when all of the other institutions across the state were raising tuition by ten percent last year, Wilkes was able to keep its increase down to nine percent. Well, we all have Wilkes administrators to thank for the fact that we were all able to buy an extra notebook last year with that whopping one percent we saved. Tuition increases have definitely become old news here at Wilkes, but then again, you begin to stop and wonder where the extra money generated from these tuition hikes is going. It's al most a given th at as tuition increases, departmental and organizational budgets decrease. Also, staff member s from various departmental and administrative offices continue to be laid off since last fa ll, and we certainly aren't experiencing an increase in faculty. Where does all of our money go? Remember all of the construction last semester which took up parking spaces, tore up shrubbery, and forged huge holes in the grounds around campus? Well, just consider how much money all of that work probably cost, and then ask where our tuition went. Yes, these "renovations " did modernize our communications through the installation of fiber optic cables, but there are better ways to spend our tuition money. How about more books for the library, better lighting around campus, more security personnel, or even more parking spaces?! If Wilkes is going to continue to raise tuition every year, at least the money could be used wisely and efficiently. Let's consider yet another aspect of the tuition problem. If tuition continues to increase each year, what will the costs be like when our children want to go to college? Well, ifrecent legislative proposals in our state capital go through, private institutions like Wilkes could be facing a major decrease in enrollment in the future. A proposal under consideration in Harrisburg, the Tuition Account Program, would allow parents to pay into the state account to buy tuition credits at today's prices at community colleges and the 14 state-owned universities. Think about it, if parents could send their children to a state college whose tuition they could start paying into now, why would they even think about enrolling them in a outrageously higher-priced private university like Wilkes? Just as Gordon Gekko experienced the repercussions of his actions at the end of Wall Street when the SEC came to arrest him, Wilkes may also soon find out that greed can only lead to ruin. Our First Lady: In Focus By BONNEE BREESE Beacon Co-Editor As the saying goes, behind every good man, stands a good woman . Well, here al Wilkes we are fortunate Lo have a first lady that stands beside her good man. The woman that is in foc us is Jane Morhouse Breiselh, the illustrious wife or our university's president. Born in upstate New York, and a graduate of Cornell University, with a bachelor's and master's degree, Mrs. Breiseth adds a great deal to the campus which many students don't even realize. Mrs. Breiselh married o ur president in 1964 , which she fondly remembers the next morning as being a beautiful and unforgettable day. "The sun glistened on the tree branches that were covered with ice and snow," Breiseth said. She explained that women bring into a marriage their individual background that developed during their young years. "This has had a tremendous impact on who I am and who I've been since marriage," Breiseth added. Mrs. Breiseth has worked intermittently s ince she was 15-years-old. Working mainly on a part-time basis, she feels that women sometimes suffer dearly from the inequity's from working in a part-time capacity. "Women gain little benefits from working part-time, as far as insurance, health, and retirement in many places," Brciseth said. Since her husband has been at Wilkes, Mrs . Breiseth has not worked. Yet she explained that she although she does not work for money there are many benefits that come with being a first lady. "Many people think I live a leisurely life, getting up in the morning, trying Lo figure out what I'm going Lo do with the rest of my day," Breiseth said. "This is far from the truth, " she oodxi Mrs. Breiseth stays very busy, and has been for the past seven and a half years since President Breiseth accepted the job at Wilkes. "We receive many invitations from people and organizations, this allows me to have an active role in some activities at Wilkes, as well as in the community. But, I would like to be able to attend some of the wom en' s sports e vents , and to participate in the local League of Women Voter's and be more active in my youngest da ughter's schpol," Breiseth said. Mrs. Breiseth has made many contrib utions to the lives of other women and she con tinues to contribute to women's lives with her gracious and warm glow that radiates upon meeting her. "I grew up looking al women in supportive wife roles, which is one side of the swing of a pendulum," Breiselh said. "Although, I have seen women in career roles as well. Women young and old should look around them at women peers, young women and older women, up to age 110, if possible, all add something to your life," Breiseth said. "Th is gives wome n the substance needed to get through their lives, the older you ge t, the more you begin to realize how much age and gender are factors that detennine your life, guiding you in ways that yo u can't forget, " Breiseth added. "When women realize that they are responding to these factors in their life (age and gender), it will be the other women that they have seen that will guide you in making choices," Breiseth said. "Older women, I fee l are fortunate and typical of our society, they just don't get to a stage and stay there, they have many more choices than most," Breiseth said. History leads us to believe that women have just been in supportive roles, yet there is . evidence that we have been active within society and in careers, for quite some time. Mrs. Breiseth added, "Women who are happiest in their lives, continually make changes and adjust to those opportunities. These women will be called upon Lo fill many notches that will benefit the lives of others." This is a strong statement and nc~hing fu rther shall be sa id. Wilkes University prospers from the elegantly refined attitude that is embedded in our first lady, Jane Morhouse Breiseth.

By DAN CHISARICK Beacon Staff Writer Last Saturday, those who weren't in Rumours missed a trul y inspiring performance. Robert Scott, renowned classical guitarist, entertained the audience with both his musical talent and sharp wit. Scott's mesmerizing fluid motions over the guitar strings were something to watch in and of themselves. They gave ri se to rich, bold sounds which were a pleasure to listen to. A casual observer would be moved to say that Scott gave a flawless performance, although the guitarist openly insisted otherwise. One can only wonder what he would have considered "flawless!" Between songs, Scott paused to tune his instrument, and occasionally told the audience a story which related either to the song he would perform next, or a personal experience, or even little-known music terminology. . Of the references he made, a particularly interesting one concerned musical appreciation and the considerations a performer needs to make for his audience. Scott proposed that twentieth century music is perhaps the most difficult on the audience. The composer lives with the song .. .it is his creation. The performer learns the song, and spends considerable time with it as well. The audience, however, only gets one shot at it. Hence, the audience may not be as appreciative or receptive to the work as would the composer or performer. This only makes choosing contemporary selections an even more difficult task. However, judging from the audience's response, no one had any difficulty enjoying the evening. Overa ll , Scott is an excellent performer. He seemed to become lost in his work. Perhaps forgetting where he was, becoming one with the notes he played, he recreated the original passion and emotion of each piece. Scott has been playing the guitar for eighteen years, since he was 5, and it is not difficult to imagine an individual with his energy and enthusiasm making his mark in musical history. Hopefully, the Wilkes Programming Board will ask him to return sometime soon, because those who missed his performance missed a truly memorable evening.

Familiar to many from her appearances on public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Mountain Stage," Rogers is equally at home headlining a festival as she is in an elementary school, entertaining and teaching children about the environment and peace. Labeled a "casual wizard of the craft of coffeehouse entertaining," she treats her audience like old friends, weaving together stories of he r life and travels, motherhood and marriage, with songs old and new that can be joyous or melancholy, whimsical or romantic, often tinged with moral outrage over issues of war and peace and environmental concern. Rogers has released nine albums, most of them on the Flying Fish label. Her second album, "In the Circle of the Sun," won a Best Folk Album of the Year award from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors (NAIRD). She has recorded two albums with popular folk singer Claudia Schmidt, the first of which , "Closing the Distance," was voted by an association of public radio stations throughout the country as on of the ten most popular Critic Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe describes Roger's voice as " Full of quiet control, natural as the spoken voice."

By BRIAN MALINA Beacon Feature Editor POLITICS AND BEER - A DYNAMITE MIX The political situation, as usual, is escalating. Mr. Gaseous Plant, Mister U n-Charisnta himself, is falling behind in the primaries, but he's vowed not to drop out until the convention, or when they slam him into the ground completely, whichever comes first. Clinton is looking smug in his generic way, and Jerry Brown, the cool dude from California, is fading into the shadows. Buchanan, mercifully, is out of the picture for the most part. George Bush continues to do the prudent thing at critical junctures. Dave Duke, effervescent crock of charm that he is, is pulling down his 3% of the vote. Considering the current choices, maybe I should run. Vote me for President, nevermind that I'm not 35. We'd cause a national brouhaha as the electoral college wouldn't have anyone to vote for. At this point, the Democrats are spending so much time and effort bickering at each other that Zippy the Chimp, running on an independent ticket, could probably beat them. Anyone for Randee of the Redwoods? Spuds Mackenzie? Once, the Georgian electors tried to vote for a dead guy. Georgia is used to voting for stiffs, apparently. Interestingly enough, this particular column covers the occasion of one of our more humdrum holidays: March 17. One simply has to wonder what the aforementioned presidential candidates were doing on Tuesday. The mind reels. Bush was probably sipping the bubbly with Babs. Tsongas, health nut that he is, probably went for one of his famous photo opportunity swims. Maybe they dyed the water green. Clinton was probably toasting his victory with some of the ol' green stuff (both cash and booze.) Buchanan was probably crying in his beer. You can draw your own conclusions about Duke. Another interesting point is that I keep typing Duck instead of Duke. Hmm ... David Duke ... Donald Duck ... interesting parallelism. In the words of a correspondent of mine, "Only a society as alcohol-dependent as ours would have a holiday that is celebrated by getting drunk." All too true, I'm afraid. We don't even have the day off - so why bother? In truth, as another acquaintance of mine observed, we should get March 18 off, for reasons which I'm sure a moment's thought will make clear. The local media was overflowing with pictures of people imbibing green alcoholic substances, whipping the public into a St. Patrick's Day Frenzy. Keychains were purchased, beverages were drunk (as were the participants), and green was worn. It gave the appearance that the Wilkes-Barre area was playing host to a convention of Lawn Doctor customer service representatives. It could be argued that it's a day dedicated to the Irish culture. This could very well be, but why is it that there isn't a day for every country? National Belgium Day, National Luxembourg Day, National Fiji Day, oh, but the possibilities are just endless. Anyone who has had the good(?) fortune to have seen a "Bridget" calendar, sold in those "Things You Didn't Know Existed, and Really Would Rather Not" catalogs, has seen such holidays as "Sniff a Salami Day." At the rate we're going with pointless holidays, we might as well have that too. There are a few scenes which warrant serious laughter, most of which involve Wayne's psychotic ex-girlfriend. Another funny moment was Wayne and Garth's rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody." The film was full of sarcastic comments which caught the audience off guard and evoked some laughter but overall, the humor was not what one would expect from Wuvne's World. Despite the negative tone of this review, the movie is not all bad. The prblem is that fans of Saturday Night Live expect a lot from these characters and unfortunately, this film did not deliver. Another problem was the fact that the funniest scenes were used to advertise the movie on television; this was the major downfall. This movie is not worth the $6 one must pay. However, it's worth renting on home video, if only for the value of Myers and Carvey's talent. So Saturday Night Live fans, stay at home and wait for your favorite characters in their original setting. THE POWER OF THE PRESS PREVAILS! I don't believe it.

It is even harder when that someone touched your life and so many other lives in so many ways. One such person is Coach Ron Rainey. Coach Rainey announced his "resignation" Friday as men's basketball coach, effective immediately. After announcing his resignation to the administration, Coach Rainey called his players together to tell them what took place just a little while ago. The teary-eyed Rainey read to his players the letter he submitted to the administration. "I feel that I have taken the program as far as my abilities d 11 an resources a owed. I wish all you guys the best in the fu ture." After th at statement Coach Rainey went around h t e room, shook his players hands and then left. Af h ter t e meeting, a few players went to Coach's office to wish him the best. I was among that group. Corby Swann, sophomore, was the first to see coach after the meeting. "Coach Rainey taught me a lot, not only about things on the court, but off the court as well. He taught me to respect people; things that will help me later in life and make me a better person. I'll miss him a lot," said Swann. Another player to go see Coach was junior, Rick Butler. "He is going to be missed around here. He really cared for his players. Coach wasn't only concerned with the performances on the court, but also off the court," said Butler. Finally/ went in to see Coach and talk to him about what had happened. We both sat in the office for a while and j ust looked at each other. Then I asked him why it happened and if there was anything that could be done to reverse the decision. Coach's answer was simply that maybe someone else could take us to the next level and that there was probably nothing we could do about the resignation. Coach Rainey is a good friend of mine and has done a lot for me in the past. He treated me with respect, was concerned with how I was doing in my classes and always offered his help. His door was always open to his players if they needed to talk. It wasn't just for · basketball, but for school, family, or just to throw the ball around. The players and the university are not J·usf losing a coach. They are losing a good friend and a person who cared for the kids. . . . . . . This pomt of view is that of his players and of his peers both on and off the campus. Former Head Coach for the Colonels, Jim Atherton, who is now at Luzerne County Community College, said, "both times Ron was at Wilkes he represented the university in a · professional manner." "It shows that the school has high respect for you when you go around the second time. It's a nice compliment," added Coach Atherton. People need to realize that basketball is a big part of the education process. Through basketball a person can learn many things other than scoring, jumping, or shooting. This is one thing that both Coach Atherton and Coach Rainey believe in. One last point Coach Atherton made was, "coaching is a great responsibility and there is more to it then wins and losses. The 'W's' will take care of themselves. It is important to instill in your players other priorities. " Coach Rainey, you have nothing to worry about. You have accomplished this and we appreciate it very much. Another person close to Coach Rainey who wants to wish him well is Assistant Coach Tim Orazio. "I want to wish him all the best of luck in his future and thank him for what he has done for me · this season," said Orazio. Finally, Head Wrestling Coach John Reese said, "I h h" H · f" h ate to see im go. e is a me coac and a good friend. I appreciate what he has done for the school and the program. I hope he will be happy d f 1 · h. f ano success· uc m his huture. k nee agam oac , t an you for everything you have done for us. We will miss you. As a coach, I'll miss you a lot and as a friend, I'll remember you for life 11 f ~~:::: I:::;::: a; l l l l l }}}l),>,n,su,uss I SIi ii ssss IUSSSII I USS 1151 ssuussssuss I I sssss I 555511 UUUUII' ' " ' " " ' u:::: ll;:;::;:;:: :n:n:n:::::·::::; :: ; : ; : ,,;, ; ::: ,: : ,m:.:: n:::::;;:; ~:;~J~!}E!:~~s~!r(!ii~i1;:rg:t~ ; t~!!;}t!~it~l!t~?li?~ I ° Campus Employment All students interested in campus employment for next year (June 92 to May 93) must register with the student employment office during April.

Men's Volleyball Club becomes new addition By HEATHER WYMAN Beacon Staff Writer For the past several years, Wilkes University students have enjoyed watching the women's varsity volleyball team play against rival college teams, but now that's all changing. For. the first time in the history of Wilkes, the men are getting a taste of volleyball action by establishing a volleyball club. This non-varsity club will travel to other colleges and play in tournaments this spring. The establishment of a club -was the idea of Paul Kownac1i, a junior at Wilkes, who has shown interest in a possible volleyball club. Unfortunately, not only do the players need to have an interest in the sport, they also need to have insurance and money, two things that almost prevented them from becoming a club. The men's Volleyball Club plans to sponsor fundraisers to support the team. Volleyball shirts will be sold as well as bake sales run by the players. "After much perserverance and dedication from the students, the volleyball club has set up a schedule with 11 collegiate teams," said Douglas Meade, treasurer of the club . • The club wili be traveling to such colleges as: Drew, Johns Hopkins, King's, Albright, Gettysburg, and Dickinson. "It's exciting because even though we're still only a club and not a varsity team, we will play some of the same schools that the girl's team plays. This makes me very optimistic about the possibility of our club evolving into a team," said Meade. The men's volleyball players include: Jim Cams, Chris Czerpak, Mick Dungan, Paul Kownacki, Brian Flynn, Doug Meade, Omar Nejeib, Eric Nelson, Ollie Remick, Doug Shaw, Al Smith, Greg Steuben, David Unzicker, and Myron Pitcavage. Dr. Roger Maxwell, who is a physics :professor at Wilkes, is also an active member. He serves as an advocate for the club to be recognized by the school. "He is also our moral supporter who shows up with good team spirit " stated Kownacki. ' The men's volleyball club is the university's new addition to the sports department. The club will become a team if players continue to show interest and support for two years. "We all have team spirit and we are all excited. The tough times have all been worth it," said Meade. Anyone interested in running cross country next year, please meet in the Marts Center on Tuesday, March 24 at 11 a.m. If you can't make it, please get in touch with coach Tom McGuire at extension 4777. 0 The men's volleyball club will take on Widener this Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Marts Center. 0 Intramural Wrestling Tournament sign-ups are due this Friday, March 20 at 5 p.m. This event is open to both men and women. 0 NCAA l\1EN'S Bi-\SIIBTBA.LL CHAI\IPIONSHIP l 992 st Round: Regionals 2nd Round: Semifinals March 21-22 arch 19-20 National championship Semlflnals Regionals 2nd Round: 1st Round: March 21-22 March 19-:?0 MIDWEST EAST Kansas City, Ml11ourl March 27 & 29 Mllw&u~••• Wisc . 7) Ga.

ALSO: Saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do. J. Coach Rainey announces his resignation By J.R. RUPP * Beacon Sports Editor Wilkes University men's basketball coach Ron Rainey announced last Friday that he is resigning his post as men's basketball coach effective immediately. Rainey has just finished his seventh consecutive year at Wilkes and his thirteenth overall. In the 13 combined years at Wilkes, Rainey's teams have compiled an overall mark of 135-168. "I feel that I have taken the program as far as my abilities and resources allowed. I wish my players and the program all the best in the future, as I pursue other interests in the field of administration, coaching, and education," Rainey said. "When something like this happens to you, you hope the person coming in will have what it takes to turn it around,"he added. However, there is some speculation from sources close to the situation that Rainey's resignation was not totally voluntary. In an interview on Tuesday with Wilkes President, Dr. Christopher Breiseth, he refused to comment on whether Rainey's resignation was by choice or influence from school officials. Dr. Breis~th said that the only remarks that he had to make were included in the news release about Rainey's resignation. However, Dr. Breiseth's comments in the news release stated nothing about whether there was some administrative pressure involved in calling for the removal of Rainey. Rainey first came to Wilkes in 1965 from Chester (Pa.) High School. He guided the Colonels to a 60-75 mark before his departure in 1971. After leaving Wilkes in 1971 Rainey took a position as an assistant coach at the University of Delaware. In 197 6 he took over as head coach for the Blue Hens. In nine seasons as the head mentor he guided his team to a 79-131 record. In 1985 he was named East Coast Conference Coach of the Year after leading his team to the E.C.C. playoffs. Rainey returned to Wilkes after the 1985 season where he compiled a record of 75-93. Wilkes Athletic Director, John Reese, and long time friend of Rainey, had this to say, " I have known Ron a long time. I first hired him when he came from Chester then he went off to Delaware. I called him and he came back to Wilkes after his stay at Delaware." Reese went on to say, "We have been good friends for many years. It is difficult to see someone leave, he is a class person and a quality person. He was good for the program." The University has begun a national search for a new basketball coach. A committee will be formed to accept applications and conduct interviews. Coach Reese added that current team members ,·1ill have a chance to interview the new ::andidates. Rainey is also a member of the athletic staff and a physical education teacher here at Wilkes. He will fulfill those duties until the end of May. "I did not have anybody in the program that was a loser," said Rainey. He added, "It is difficult doing a job with limited resources, maybe the new person will get the support, if it happens maybe it will work out." RESIGNED•·· Coach Rainey leaves after seventh season Colonels· defeat Monarchs in home opener By JERRY HOFFMAN Beacon Staff Writer ROUNDING FIRST ---Lou Salterelli gets in scoring position for Wilkes In their first baseball game of the 1992 season, the Colonels of Wilkes University defeated cross-town rival, King's College, 5-3 at Artillery Park. Kin g's College started the scoring in the first inning when Ken Scaz scored on Brian Campbell's single. The Monarchs led at this point 1-0. Wilkes struck back in the bottom of the second inning when right fielder Chris Imperiale's triple drove home designated hitter Dave Wesoloskie. This tied the game at 1-1. The Monarchs regained the lead 2-1 in the next inning when Ken Scaz scored on an error. In the bottom of the third inning, Wilkes' second baseman Rob Michaels scored on an error, and Wilkes tied King's for a second time at 2-2. This momentum carried over into the bottom of the fourth inning when centerfielder Steve Klem's single drove home first baseman John Comerford. Imperiale scored later that inning on an error. Wilkes led for the first time in the game 4-2. Rob Michaels hit a homerun to left-center field to make the score 5-3 in favor of Wilkes. Wilkes reliever Bill Noone recorded the victory for the Colonels; in the four innings that he pitched he gave up one run. Noone also struck out four Monarchs. Head Coach Bob Duliba said that Noone, a freshman, "played very well." Starter Dirk Heberle pitched four innings, and gave up two runs. He also struck out four batters. Joe Kish pitched the final inning, and he gave up no runs. Duliba said that his team did "play well." He also said that Wilkes didn't hit very well , but Wilkes' stealing and experience were the de"ciding factors against King's. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Courses need a 'spring thaw' Spring. That wonderful time of year when the weather warms up, flowers blooui, birds begin to sing at your window each morning, and registration for next fall semester begins. Well, Mother Nature has definitely played a cruel trick on us this spring, and it seems as though Wilkes has joined in the fun and games with its latest edition of the registration schedule. s t, is re d of Every year, Wilkes students bring recognition to the school through their theater performances, art exhibitions, and various awards and commendations for speaking and writing. Yet, each semester the number of courses offered to support majors like Theater Arts, Music, English, and Communications continues to be drastically cut. We have our own newspaper, radio station, speech team, television station, and art gallery, yet the number of students involved in these activities continues to dwindle because there aren't enough courses offered to keep students interested in pursuing a liberal arts degree. Looking at this semester's schedule makes one wonder if we're trying to compete with the likes of MIT. For example, there are over 50 engineering courses offered for the fall, but only 30 communications classes.

One begins to wonder, however, how we are going to be able to accommodate a larger student population when the number of courses as well as professors keeps diminishing.

This semester's registration schedule, however, tells quite a different story. If Wilkes wants to increase enrollment, maybe the new recruitment effort's slogan should be "Variety is the spice of life."

"Time management is the most important thing, I always say , if you touch a piece of paper don't touch it more than once," said Taylor. While in high school, Taylor dreamed of being an ambassador for Egypt to the United States. With this goal in the forefront of her mind, she realized that she would have to major in economics. Taylor did study economics, but never became an ambassador. However, the contributions she has made have been world-wide. Taylor has presented papers recently in both Hong · Kong and Rio De Janeiro. "The topics that I have been writing about have been centered around global changes and the impact on the U.S. economy," said Taylor. Taylor has risen in economics by producing only quality work. The field of economics has only recently been occupied more by women. "In the last few years, more women have been · interested in involving themselves in economics, when I first began -- there were none," Taylor added. Taylor, having traveled around the world, says she wants to keep her base here at Wilkes. "I hope that Wilkes University appreciates me, " said Taylor. "I devote all my time, effort, and energy to the students here, while serving the community and a part of the United States at-large," Taylor added. "Every student is important to me, I feel they deserve and should receive the best education possible for the money that they are investing in themselves," Taylor continued.

The production will run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 26-28 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 29 at 2 p.m. This is the first local production of the Stephen Sordheim musical in Northeastern Pennsylvania. "Into the Woods" premiered on Broadway in 1987 and won several Tony awards. Under the direction of Dr. Michael O'Neill, "Into the Woods" centers around familiar fairy tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel. The play introduces two new characters, the butcher and his wife. 26, 1992 The first act of the musical portrays the old characters in their traditional story lines with the typical "happily-ever-after" endings. The second act deals with their lives once the "happily-ever-after" has worn off. The message of the play confronts the importance of the family unit and explores issues affecting the dysfunctional family. The touching end of the story will fill the hearts of both children and adults. The public is invited to attend this family musical production. Tickets are $5 general admission and $4 for students and senior citizens. Wilkes University and King's College students, faculty and staff can obtain one free ticket each. Reservations can be made by calling 829-9144. ver, TH~ d ta be agi et ing iqu inf~ e req u probl lowes I too ·oyed i Doesr I took It doe I too!Q It doe Some But Black Eagle and Peace Stew land at WCL By BONNEE BREESE Beacon Co-Editor "You're listening to the 'Mid-day Mix,' with the Black Eagle and Peace Stew, on WCLH 90. 7FM, Wilkes University radio--modern music for modern minds,'' said the Black Eagle, better known as Michael King. Every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. you can hear the best in · reggae and house music, tastefully sounding over the airwaves. The Black Eagle's specialty is reggae, while on the other hand, Peace Stew better known as Paul Stuart, forte is house. King and Stuart have combined their musir:al interest into a radio show that is sure to keep your Sunday moving. "It's been common for this area to only play on-the-air particular types of music," said King. "But the Black Eagle swoops down on Wilkes-Barre, swaying with hits from the reggae dance halls and charts," King added. "The Black Eagle wants to give the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton area a part of his heritage through music, King c,...~ "By us sharing these sounds with everyone we're further spreading a message of multiculturalism to the campus and community," said Stuart. Both King and Stuart get many responses from the community while on the air, but admitted that many of their callers don't know the names of many records in the reggae or house categories. "Some people call in a request for certain topics or interests, reggae has much to offer through its lyrics,'' King said. "Reggae artists have the same type of lyrics that you would find in your average R&B cuts," King added. Reggae music is characteristic of Jamaica and Jamaican lifestyle. It's a slow, swaying, rhythmic style ?f music that offers exciting instrumentals, combined with vocals done in the ever-present Jamaican dialect. The most popular artist presently on the reggae charts is SHABBA Ranks. SHABBA's recordings are crossing over into the R&B charts, doubling with R.E.M. and KRS 1, a popular rap group. House music is typical of the disco sound. Popular artists recordings are combined with multidimensional instrumentals that have a never-ending beat. It can be mixed with other records which helps to keep you moving to the rhythm, all the time. "When I came here, my freshman year, one of the things that I noticed was the type of music being played on the radio," said Stuart. "It wasn't what I was used to, coming from New York I was exposed to all kinds of musical styles, but here all I heard was rock, country, classical and top 40 sounds," Stuart added. Stuart explained that most people coming to a new area, turn their radio dials. Radio stations determine the composition of the community it serves. , "What we do is add a dimension to the composition of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton community," Stuart said. Stuart's radio name, Peace Stew, symbolizes his mixture of musical food for all to enjoy. "We felt it was important for Wilkes to be in the forefront of representing cultural differences that already exist in this community," King added. King and Stuart said more people from the community listen to their show than students. They said that the radio station, as a whole, is not advertised to campus populace. The insertion of the "Mid-day Mix" to WCLH's regular slot schedule has added another mark of distinction to the diversity of Wilkes campus community. In addition , the rap show "8-0-8 Quake," which airs every Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. with John Bingham spinning the disc.

They don't count. I mean, heaven forbid I should take a course I'm actually INTERESTED in. No, I can't, because I have to take four zillion credits of our glorious core.

This has its value, in that no one would suspect that you deliberately went out of your way to obtain twelve-foot pink concrete flamingoes. Your second option is to try to chop them into tiny bits and redo your sidewalks. Spring is coming, allegedly, and the warm weather will be helpful for this.

Granted, some were good, but a Jot of them were bad. I've also been told that half of the editorial staff won't identify with other staff. No wonder the paper is in the condition that it's in right now. My advice to the 1992-93 editorial staff is to try to work together, no matter what your differences are. Remember, this is a club that is supposed to publish a major campus publication. It was not meant to be a social club. I am writing to you lo express what it has been like to be an ex-editor of the campus newspaper. The horror began about one year ago, last April in fact, when representatives of the Faculty Publication Committee voted me down as Beacon editor for the 1991-92 academic year and gave me the more humble position of Managing Editor. I did not mind this demo tion any more than anyone else, but during the fall Sincerely, semester I sensed that there was Jeffrey C.

I have heard many comments spoke to a Beacon staff reporter and about The Beacon since leaving the to the publicity department about 26, 1992 getting an article and maybe even a picture of the float in the paper, my thoughts were in good taste. I received no photo and then was given a last minute telephone interview. With this in mind, it is no wonder that the article and not the float was the real fiasco. Our goal was to serve the community and that goal was accomplished. The general consensus at the end was it was worth it and we know how to improve for the future. How we got there is trivial compared to the fact that we did get there and accomplished the task. I would like to thank those people who were neglected in the article. Hodge Jones and Bryan Smith, these two guys played the key roles in the float committee. Jones designed, constructed and maintained the float. Smith saw our need for assistance and came through when Jones could not be present. In gratitude I asked that their names be included. The float committee took a month out of their schedules to put together the first float Wilkes ever had. It was disturbing to see the core of the article given to details about what occurred prior to the final product. This meant a lot to Wilkes students. I find it funny that a person has the right to label work after a five minute interview. Respectfully submitted, Joanna E. DeLuca, Sophomore Class President ~~~~~.,..,..,,.~~~~~~- Dear Editors: The informative article by Bonnee Breese about Marion Annette Evans reminds us of the long tradition of notable women connected with Wilkes. May I expand and clarify some points raised in that article? The dormitory named William L. Evans Hall memorializes someone who was no relation to Annette Evans. The house at 117 West River Street, now privately owned, was designed by the architect Clark Wright Evans for his family, including his daughter Annette. The home at 146 South River Street, purchased by Wilkes in 1949 as a home for President Eugene Shedden Farley and his wife Eleanor, had been designed by a different architect for a different owner. Following their deaths, that building was renamed in honor of Annette Evans. It is now named the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House in recognition of her concern for faculty and alumni well-being. I am pained that the reference to Miss Evan's friends includes the word "ru mor" and a salacious implication about male friends. The comments of those friends are readily available to describe this remarkable woman. She also wrote a biography of George Catlin, the painter, and spearheaded a movement statewide to cond uct research on Native American Indian sites.

R. RUPP Beacon Sports Editor Cover Up?? Is the Wilkes Administration "shielding" us from what is going on. There has been a lot of talk lately on the "resignation" of Coach Ron Rainey. Questions keep arising on whether Rainey resigned voluntarily or whether the school administration had some sort of influence into a forced resignation. An article in the March 24 issue of the Citizens' Voice would lead some to believe that the school is conducting business secretly. The school is supposedly still accepting applications for the positions of athletic director and head men's basketball coach, but you would not think so. The Citizens' Voice article said that former Wilkes men's basketball coach Ron Righter was a favorable choice to possibly fill both the athletic director position as well as the basketball post. According to Wilkes Public Relations Director Mark Davis, "no decision has been made ", (in fullfilling the A.O. and basketball positions). Davis added, "the search is still going." Well, according to the Citizens' Voice Righter and Wilkes may be closer to terms than most of us think. An excerpt of that article reads: Righter said he's interested in taking both positions at Wilkes and added that Wilkes feels the same way. "I got a call last Friday and everything seemed positive," Righter conceded. "I can't say who I talked with but let's say I got some feedback and they are interested in me and I'm interested in them ." "If the AD's job involves teaching, that's fine. The number one thing for me is being on the faculty and getting involved with academics. If it's just a head coaching position that's available, that is fine too . I'm interested." Grant it, some applicants may seem more suitable for a job than others, and in that case the prospective employer may want to keep in contact with them. It has not yet been two weeks since Coach Rainey's "resignation" and yet the school has a fix on a possible replacement. One thing did not seem to gel with me. Righter said he became interested in Wilkes when he visited the area over the summer to speak at a local basketball camp. Could the idea of a change loomed as far back as last summer? pos1t1ons at Wilkes. The official statement from Herman is that "Clarion University has no comment on the story that Righter is seeking other interests, we have not yet discussed this with Ron." Another point of interest here is the ~:>Verlooking of Coach Phil Wingert. Wingert, who has been at Wilkes for_ the_ past 10 years, serves as head soccer coach and assistant athletic director. Coach Wingert would have been the logical choic~ to step in as_~D. However, instead of first offering Coach Wmgert the po.~1t1on, Wilkes opened the position to a national search. Coach Wmgert has been here, he knows the school, the system, and more importantly the students. _ . . . Wilkes is losing a class act, both in the classroom and on the court, in the name of Coach Rainey. And a great injustice has been done to the students who come here for an education. He was more than a teacher of information, he was a teacher of life. But, the question still looms. Did Wilkes influence the resignation? Also, is the hiring process for two important positions in the athletic department cut and dry? It is time that the Wilkes Administration realized that there is more than just wins and losses. The idea, or at least my understanding, of a college education is to prepare for life. If I follow the Wilkes philosophy, then the only thing I am supposed to do is win, at any cost. I never thought I would picture myself saying this but, there is more to life than winning, I just learned this lesson, at the expense of someone else. Just wondering. Coach Righter, who is the head basketball coach at Clarion University, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday. I did however manage to talk to the Clarion SID Rich Herman. Herman said he knew nothing of Righter's interest in obtaining any There are hundreds of questions on the GMAT, GRE and LSAT. This checklist will help you answer all of them. Hall of Fame begins To honor the oustandbg athletic acheivenients of past Wilkes University, Wilkes College, and Bucknell University Junior College graduates, Wilkes University is beginning a Hall of Fame. The Wilkes Hall of Fame will recognize graduates who exemplified desirable personal character traits and performed to a degree that is considered outstanding in the athletic arena. To be eligible for the nomination to the Hall of Fame a nominee, who can be living or deceased, must be 1) 10 years removed from graduation, 2) must have exemplified desirable personal character traits expected of a University athlete and should have performed in a manner that is considered outstanding. There will also be a special category to consider those non-participation individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to B.U.J.C., Wilkes College, or Wilkes University (i.e. coaches, managers, trainers).

"This is an idea which will allow us (Wilkes) to honor those men and women who starred on the athletic fields and courts at Wilkes," said Brieseth. "We have a rich athletic history, filled with many oustanding individuals and coaches, and now everyone will get to see and read about their accomplishments." Retiring athletic director John Reese is also happy to see the Hall of Fame become a reality. "I'm glad to see that the Hall of Fame is coming to Wilkes," said Reese. "Many fine student-athletes have passed through the doors of our school and have gone to successful careers in many fields. It's great that they will now be honored for their athletic skills." Among those who are sure to be nominated for consideration for the Hall of Fame committees are Joe Wiendl, former wrestling, football, and baseball star; Marv Antinnes, a former football and wrestling great and now athlete director at Wyoming Seminary, and Sandy Bloomberg, a three sport star in the 1960's and former head -women's basketball coach at Wilkes. > •• Vi ri7I Vi ~ Kaplan o ffers the best value_. ..

But, a great man is even harder to replace. Such is the case of John Reese. After 34 years as the athletic director of Wilkes University, Reese is stepping down from his realm. Reese is a native of the Wyoming Valley where he began his grappling career at Kingston High School. While there he received honors from District II and was a PIAA finalist. His collegiate career started at Millersville State. He later received his undergraduate degree from Penn State as well as a B.S. in physical education in 1951. Reese went on to obtain his master's degree from P.S.U. In 1953 Reese joined the Wilkes College athletic department. He started coaching · both soccer and baseball for the Colonels as well as running the intramural teams. At that time, Mr.Ralston was the athletic director. Along with Reese, he soon started making plans to strengthen Wilkes'athletics. In 1950 Wilkes' first gymnasium was built for the winter intercollegiate teams. This was the first attempt made to rectify the lack of athletic facilities. "When I came in, we had to start all our facilities from nothing," said Reese. "We didn't have training rooms, trainers, or even transportation to games." But accorctrng to Keese the greatest acquisition for Wilkes athletics was obtaining Ralston Field as well as the other outdoor facilities of Kirby Park. Around 1958 Wilkes acquired the property due largely in part to Coach Reese and Mr. Ralston. "The thing that I have learned the most from him is h' commitment and love for his work," said Wingert. "He has su a strong commitment to his program and the University." But Coach Reese's first love has always been wrestling and ' is within this sport that he has built his forte. His 39 years as the head wrestling coach has given him national recognition holding the longest tenure of any wrestling coach at any one institution. It was in that same year that Reese took over as athletic director. As the AD at Wilkes, Reese has worked with the University's 13 men's and women's intercollegiate sports. Under his realm, Reese's teams have compiled an outstandin collegiate dual record of 475-139.:8 including undefeated seas in 1956-57, 1958-59, 1959-60, 1960-61 and 1970-71. He h guided the Colonels to 37 straight winning seasons. Reese's dream was to one day build a new gymnasium, and in 1989 his dream came true. The Marts Center was built in place of the old gym. At the Division III level, Reese has led the Colonels to IS Middle Atlantic Conference titles in 19 years. He guided · '73-'74 team to the NCAA III national championship and his '65-'66 team placed second in the tourney. He has also coached ten collegiate division champions. The Marts Gym is almost twice the size of the first gym and can house numerous sporting events at one time, which previously was impossible to do. Over the years Reese has accumulated numerous ties with the community which has made him a man of high recognition not only in Wilkes Barre, but on the national level as well. One such tie is fellow colleague and coach Phil Wingert. Since 1987, Wingert has served as the assistant athletic director under Reese. During this time Wingert admits he has learned a great deal from his mentor. In 1976, Reese took his grapplers out of Division III and MAC, and into NCAA Division I and the EIW A. Under Reese, Wilkes has produced 60 EIW A place-winners including eight champions. Four NCAA Division I place-winners as well have come out of Wilkes. But Coach Reese has decided to step down from the A position. "I'll miss it of course, but it's time to move on," · Reese. His retirement will give him time to concentrate on other thin - most importantly his 500th win in wrestling. There will never be another who can replace John Reese what he has done for this University. We are all grateful for your work. f!!!!!f£Ship no problem for Malatesta Beacon Staff Writer Since the Wilkes Women's Softball Team finished first in the Hampton Tourney with an especially young team, leadership does not seem to be a problem for Head Coach Addy Malatesta and the captains. Wilkes' captains Dawn Hosler, Denise Carson, and Hillary Blake led Wilkes to a 3-1 record in that tournament. According to Coach Malatesta, these players "all have their specialty in terms of their skill, but one thing that does unify them is their attitude toward winning and their sound work ethic." When asked about her expectations for the upcoming season, Hosler revealed her attitude toward winning by saying, "We have the potential to do really well." Carson showed the same winning attitude when she said that she expects "to do really well--to win the M.A.C. ·• Carson, a senior catcher from Williamsport High School, Williamsport, made the All-Middle Atlantic Conference Team last season. Leadership is nothing new for Carson. She was a captain for the softball team as a junior. She said that this role required a great deal of responsibility. Malatesta said that Carson "anchors the infield as a catcher" and also added that "she leads by example." Hosler is also a senior, but did not play iast year because she did an internship in the spring semester. Coach Malatesta commented that "It's nice to have her back." Hosler, who hails from Juniata High School, Port Royal, plays the outfield. She was named to the All-Tournament Team. Coach Malatesta said that Hosler is "an inspirational player." Hillary Blake is a junior from Chenango Valley High Sch Binghamton, New York. According to Malatesta, Blake "plays dual role" for the softball team because she plays two positi first base and catcher. Blake also bats clean-up in the line-up. These captains will definitely have a hand in this year's su because they are the only upperclassmen on the team. Both and Hosler said that their contributions to this young team will their leadership and experience. The starting lineup is very young. It consists of only seniors, one junior, five sophomores, and one freshman. Malatesta said, "the role of remaining sophomores freshmen players is that they give us pinch hit ability, defe · play, and speed on the base paths." Malatesta also added that it's not only the nine starters make contributions to this team, but that she "will look for individual to make contributions." 1 J i 1i~1m~1~1!D! l!iiG!!!lis i : l\fl{!Jy.;~:~at£!1 ~z~ ~;O:U e~ mr 'f,9;.gg jJ!fiil~~l?fd(itJ£lfll!lt!li,l?tlle[t!tt~~ ~hipsJ FiH?~i11J'! b~'l~t~g~I11£!tJJ!Jf9cl'1 P![£~ ??t~gm1ss10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Wilkes University Healthful Lifestyles Committee sponsored a panel discussion on the issue of "date" rape at the Marts Center Monday evening. The panel included Mark Sowcik, director of Campus Counseling, Gerard Cookus, chief of security, Karen Lazur of Victim's Resource Center, Dan Pillets, first assistant county district attorney, and Peter W arrington, a local obstetrician. The forum was arranged in effort to educate students on the violent crime of "date" rape. Diane O'Brien, Health Services coordinator, told see Rape, p. 2 �APRI L PAGE 2 2, 1992 THE B EACON ■ Rape cont. from p. 1 Wilkes students that rape is the most prevalent violent crime committed on college campuses nationwide. In a recent study of 6,000 college students around the country, one of six women had been raped or was the victim of an attempted rape. One out of fifteen men had admitted to committing or attempting to commit rape. Although these statistics should serve as eye-openers to students, many feel that it just won't happen on this campus. Mark Sowcik informed students that ten rape cases were reported to Campus Counseling in 1990 and 1991. Many victims of rape are afraid to come forward and report the crime because they are ashamed, embarrassed, or afraid that they will not receive support. The panelists informed students of resources available and COUNT DOWN TO instructed them on the procedures that should be taken if such an incident should occur. Victims of rape should never let the incident go unreported. They should seek help immediately. Victims can get legal and emotional support from the many resources available. Dan Pillsbury, first assistant county distri~t attorney, advised students that victims of rape should not be discouraged from reporting rape. Police officials are in the process of implementing a special educational program that will help law enforcers deal with this issue. "Date" rape is a very serious crime and should not be ignored. Victims of rape are encouraged to come forward and seek help. By reporting the crime, you are eliminating the risk of a repeated offense.

Naked Mole Rat exposed at Kimball Lecture By MISSY MARGIS and BRIAN ZUPKO Beacon News Editor and Beacon Staff Writer Editor's Note: This article was scheduled to appear in the March 26th issue , but due to my absence, it was omitted. "A hot dog with teeth," this was the description of a naked mole rat given by Dr. Paul W. Sherman in the recent Grace Kimball Lecture sponsored by the biology department. Sherman is an expert on the naked mole rat and has co-authored several articles and an encyclopedia entry on the subject. The naked mole rat has been the topic of many recent discussions because it is very difficult for scientists to research the animal-. People Magazine ran a story on the naked mole rat in the March 30 issue, "Not Another Julia Roberts Story", highlighting the animal's appearance. Since the mole rat is only found in East Africa, governments and dangerous wildlife make it difficult for scientists to conduct research. Sherman plans on beginning nocturnal observations of the naked mole rat later this year. The naked mole rat has been a mystery to scientists. The mole rat is extremely social for the three following reasons: the community always consists of two generations, females cooperatively care for the young, and most importantly, there is an extreme division of labor. Every naked mole rat has a specific function in the community. For example, there is one female in each community whose sole purpose is to bear the young. . The remaining females, who whiskers to navigate in their underground tunnels. The naked mole rats live by eating large, underground roots and tubers, which they locate by their constant tunneling underground. Dr. Sherman suggested anyone interested in this subject should travel to the Philadelphia Zoo, where he . personally designed a naked mole rat exhibit. Dr. Sherman received his doctorate in biology and a masters degree in zoology from the University of Michigan. He graduated with honors from Stanford University, where he also spent a year in the medical program . Along with giving a lecture, Dr. Sherman also spoke with the biology students before the Kimball lecture. "If you want to be a doctor, try to get some exposure to a medical school or if you're interested in research see if you could begin a project," Sherman told the students. Sherman also answered the students questions about independent research and graduate schools. do not reproduce, care for the young. One of the most unique features of the mole rat is that it is the only mammal to live in underground colonies similar to insects. "The naked mole rat never comes above ground," according to Sherman.

S. Eliot "The Waste Land" For candidates vying for political office this election year, Eliot's observation definitely holds true. The primaries have just about come down to the wire, and candidates are now beginning to prepare for this summer's party conventions. There is, however, a rather large obstacle which the candidates must still overcome: the April 28th Pennsylvania primary. Because Pennsylvania has a fairly large number (23) of electoral votes, the way our state goes informs a great deal upon the upcoming November election. It becomes, then, our duty and responsibility to make sure that we make an informed decision in this year's election. There are a great number of issues which directly affect us as college students and as future members of the work force which should come to bear upon our political choices. As educational funding continues to decrease, our tuition increases while the amount of financial aid decreases. Because of the desperate state of the economy, seniors graduating this year are worried that they won't be able to find work. Also, they can almost forget about staying in school because graduate schools are overloaded with applications and are rejecting students right and left because of limited funding. The upcoming primary and general elections are your chance to make a definite difference in the current state of affairs. Besides the highly-publicized presidential race, candidates for all state and federal government offices are up for election. Our representatives in Congress are the ones who are most involved in the issues which are of importance to us. Choosing the right senator or representative is the first step to addressing problems like educational funding and the economy. The statistics we received from the most recent voter registration drive are definitely encouraging. Over 100 people completed registration forms at the drive while another 50 took them home to mail in. Hopefully, this trend is an indication ~hat we are finally starting to realize how much of an impact our political leaders·have upon our education and our future careers. , If we don't start choosing the leaders who will male~ a_difference_, our . future may just tum into ~veritable Waste Land. ·' ·'· -_' Like to wrrte?

ADDRESS - 21\D FLOOR HOLLENBACK HALL, WILKES-BARRE, PA PHONE- 824-4651 EXT.2962 Dear Editors: After reading the editorial entitled, "Where does all the money go?" (March 19 edition), I felt the need to respond and provide a more detailed answer to the question than was given in the editorial. I must respectfully disagree with the premise that, "greed is good" and that this is the driving force behind the tuition increase. I can assure you that it is not, and never has been, a part of the Wilkes philosophy. In looking at the budget for next year, the administration had to first look at those costs over which we have no control. They include: a 10% increase in utility costs, 15% increase in insurance, 5% increase in contracted services such as building maintenance and food service, 5% increase in equipment maintenance, and a 20% increase in postage costs. We are acutely aware of the effect the recession has had on our students, parents and the University. Our Board of Trustees kept that fact in mind when financial aid for both need-based and merit scholarships was increased by a total of thirty percent. Financial aid now constitutes 14% of the budget. The cost increases over which we do have control have been kept to a minimum. Salary increases for the faculty and staff tuition dollar goes for faculty salaries; an additional 21 cents goes for staff salaries. Almost all other expenditures for next year have been held to the 1991-92 levels. The tuition at Wilkes remains below the private school average for the nation, the state of Pennsylvania and the region. In fact, among the private colleges and universities in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the total percentage tuition increases at Wilkes have been the smallest during the last five years. The process by which the University plans a budget is careful, thoughtful and sensitive. Many factors are examined and considered. The motivation is to strengthen Wilkes as it works to achieve our mission of providing our students . with an outstanding education. Greed has never been and never will be a factor. Sincerely, Christopher N.

"Into the Woods," directed and staged by the Multi-talented Michael O'Neill, opened it's doors for the first time at 8:00pm on .March 20th. The play performance continued on the dates of the 21-22 and the 26-29 of March. Various vocally talented actors and actress's displayed their musical ability through popular ballads such as "No one is alone," "Any Moment," and "Agony." Characters such as Cinderella, the Prince, the Baker, the Witch, and Jack made this vocal performance a success. "Into the Woods" combined humor with melodrama in satisfying the interests of the public. The use of the scenery proved to be humorous while remaining professional. Props such as falling Doves, smoke, flames, and Giants strongly grasped the interests of the public. "Into the Woods" combined tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Rapunzel, and Jack and Beanstock, to create a truly successful performance that the public will find hard to forget.

This is not the case. Last Friday, I wandered over to the Registrar's office like the burnt-out lil' engineering major that I am, and requested one of 1.he various and sundry forms one has to fill out every now and again. Same was cheerful!Jr provided, and a person whom I did not immediately recogmze accosted me just as cheerfully and invited me to come into the back. Needless to say, I was wary of trap doors, antipersonnel mines, and so on, as I always am, but as it turns out, the hitherto unidentified personage was not only .i! registrar, but a Grand High Exalted Mystic Senior (and Way-Cool) Registrar In Charge of Knowing All that has one of those funky glassed-in offices in the back. I was rather taken aback by this personal attention, being unaccustomed to it. However, the G.H.E.M.S.(W.C.) R.I.C.K.A. (whew) produced a writeup and checklist for yours truly's transcript, and she had to have done it in less than two hours after the Beacon was distributed. Needless to say, I was impressed. She proceeded to show me the aforementioned checklist, and it seems that I haven't been as thoroughly annihilated by our Glorious Core [©1992 Wilkes University] as I was led to believe. It seems, after all is said and done, much more has been said than done, and I'm almost ahead of the game. What an Easter present. In any event, it seems that the Powers That Be have had their revenge anyway. The core course I have to take is closed. (Augh!) However, I'd like to say that the Registrar's office bent over backwards (and did some very nice backflips on the way, some of which would turn Mary Lou Retton green with envy) to attend to my problem. And they were very chipper today when I registered. (Maybe they were plotting my death. Who knows?) But I just wanted to let you (and them!) know that I have nothing against them. They're not, nor were they ever, responsible for the core grief. The core still rots, but at least everyone's a little happier, and I'm not going to be here for eleven semesters. We hope. Party on, Registrar dudes and dudettes, and bump me up on that wait list. PAGE7 cont. from p.1 Again performing at this years celebration will be celebration will be Simple Rhyme.

JUST A TAD MORE ON THE POLITICAL THANG Cheers to the over one hundred of you who registered to vote during the registration drive held in SLC 100 on March 24. I hope this trend keeps up, because we have to voice our opinion when these politcos think they can walk all over us. They're cutting our funding left and right, and I, for one, have had it. Make sure you vote! Pennsylvania's primary is scheduled for April 28. Pennsylvania is worth 23 electoral college votes (last I heard), which is a pretty hefty chunk. We do matter, believe it or not, so get out rhere and vote. I've got one thing that I hope you'll keep in mind when you're voting. It's glib and easy to remember, and involves incumbents: "When in doubt, throw them out!" QUOTE OF THE WEEK "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." New Exhibit- D.

An original Turner Broadcasting System production, the film looks at environmental problems through the eyes of children from around the world. The program will begin with refreshments and a Save the Earth covenant signing. The screening is co-sponsored by local companies, Verto Cable, Service Electric, Adelphia Cable and Cable TV Company, as well as Wilkes University. Committed to environmental activism, the Turner network launched its Save the Earth campaign earlier this year to inform the public about the world's first Earth Summit, which will take place June 1-12 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Summit, also known as The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, is expected to be the largest meeting of leaders to date and will produce international environmental treaties and recommendations that will affect the world into the twenty-first century. TBS' Save the Earth campaign includes national distribution of pledges and postcards addressed to President Bush, urging him to attend the Earth Summit and to work with other leaders to save the planet. These postcards will be available at the screening. For more information, contact the Wilkes Public Relations Office at 822-8413.

Finally, success in the athlete's respective sport comes last in the philosophy for Wilkes student athletes. This philosophy was explained to students who attended a dinner at President Breiseth's house in the winter of 1990 by the President and many members of the Board of Trustees here at Wilkes University.

What does all this mean? I'm glad you asked. All the above numbers have something to do with the upcoming Major League baseball season. The 27 refers to a 27% ticket price increase by the Baltimore Orioles, the largest jump in the major leagues this season. The 83 refers to $83. That is the average price for what it will cost for four tickets to a big league game. The 7,000,000 refers to $7,000,000. That is the salary that Chicago Cub Ryne Sandberg will be receiving. And all those O's, thats what ball players will be receiving the same time you will be paying out many of those O's. It is time for the owners to stop shelling out the .big bucks.

Coach Addy Malatesta went with four game winner, Corey Swoyer, in the first game of a twin bill against league rivals Lycoming College. Schwoyer gave up just three runs, two of which were earned. She also had two stikeouts and hit one batter as the Lady Colonels squeeked by with a 4-3 win. "They were tougher than I thought. They hit the ball more this year than last year. However, the team was behind me when they hit and got them out," said Schwoyer. While Schwoyer was doing1ier job on the mound, designated hitter Jen Stackhouse was doing her job at the plate. Stackhouse had three hits, a double and two singles for the Lady Colonels including the game winning RBI. "I didn't realize I had the game winning hit. I saw the celebration at the plate and didn't realize two runs came in instead of one," said Stackhouse. . Also contributing offensivly for the Lady Colonels were Hillary Blake, a single, Kathy Moran, a double and a single and Sady Warntz, two singles. Carson, one of the teams captains said, "The game was very positive. We stuck together as a team and pulled it out at the end." The other two captains, Dawn Hosler and Blake, both said, "Jen (Stackhouse) pulled through for us when we needed her the most." "It was a tight game until the bottom of the seventh when we won it " said Malatesta. "We stranded a lot of runners on base and were ov~r anxious at the plate.

The Dallas High 11 The Lady Colonels ended the game with nine hits, five walks and two strikeouts. In the second game, Wilkes went with Hillary blake as their hurler. The Lady Colonels gave Blake a lot of offensive backing, ten hits to be exact. However, it was not enough. Despite the ten hits, Wilkes lost the game 13-11 in five innings due to darkness. Four players in the line-up recorded two hits each for the Lady Colonels; Sue Moran had a single and a homerun, Carson and Stackhouse both had two singles and Warntz had a triple and a single. "It was unfortunate that the game was called because of darkness. If we had two more innings we would have had the opportunity to win," said Maletesta. Coach Malatesta is starting only two seniors, along with one junior, five sophomores and one freshman. She also played a sophomore as a designated hitter and used a number of freshmen as pinch runners. "We never had this luxury of having a bench with depth before. We have it and will try to use all the talent we have," said Malatesta. With using all these players, Malatesta looks to her three captains to be leaders on the field: Carson, Blake, and Hosler. Hosler is anchoring the outfield, while Blake and Carson control the infield. "They all show experience and depth at their positions. The freshmen and sophomores can learn a lot by not only watching their play, but also by taking note of their attitude", said Malatesta.

Tufankjian cataloged the trees located in the section of Kirby Park and identified each tree by species, sizes and location. He used a computer grid system to complete the most difficult aspect of the project, finding the exact location of the tree in the park. "I was interested in doing some sort of independent research and Dr. Klemow suggested this project. It was an excellent choice because in the future the trees growth will be monitored and it was something I really enjoyed," said Tufankjian. Haley researched the medicinal value of two plants, the Jewel Weed and the Stinging Nettle. Both of these plants are used currently for medicinal purposes. "I did an extensive literary search on both the plants and read through thirty years of research to find similarities on both of the plants . It was time consuming but rewarding," said Haley. Haley and Tufankjian will be attending Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in the fall. Both students research will be used in a future brochure on parks in the state of Pennsylvania.

I'm sure you've heard the various studies and opinions pointing toward a severe energy crunch before 2020 A.O. Well, I think I've got a solution. Have you ever noticed that the 400 level of SLC becomes a pressure cooker whenever the sun is shining? This effect lasts well into the evening hours. It seems to me that we're overlooking a potentially valuable energy source. Perhaps we should stop all this tedious mucking about with solar cells and take a new look at creative energy-generating architecture. Imagine, the entire city of Wilkes-Barre powered by Stark. The mind reels. I've read articles concerning vast arrays of mirrors which concentrate sunlight on a tower, heating a spot on it to a temperature on the order of 20,000 degrees. We've got that on Stark 400 with no effort at all! No tracking devices, no hi-tech construction. No paved-over Massachusetts real estate. Everyone would be happy. Here we are, looking far and wide for energy alternatives, and we've overlooked one right under our collective nose. THE SWARM II: THE FLIGHT OF THE GNAT One warm day. That's all it took. Strolling down by the bell tower, you can once again be assaulted by the swarm of little black vaguely insectish gnat things. If it's not one thing, it's another. I guess I'll have to research a tried-and-true proven gnat killer. Gnats serve no useful function other than to get stuck in bicyclists' teeth and get smeared on motorcyclists' faceguards. That, and they have that amazingly long lifespan, all of, what, thirty-seven seconds? It's enough to make you want to start killing them in microwaves. If you remember this from the last time around, if the Killer Gnats have arrived, can the Mutant Cherries be far behind? Riverside Drive has already started to generate that pleasurable aroma that we all know and love. Mercifully, we don't have to endure it during the summer. DEMOCRATS SCREW UP ROYALLY, OH WHAT A SURPRISE Guess what? Mr. Gaseous Plant has un-quit. Clinton is toast, because Bush will skewer him on the "Gary Hart Syndrome. " Jerry Brown made the intelligent move of announcing that he'd like Jesse Jackson as a running mate. I might as well toss the ol' hat in the ring and announce ... oh ... how about Larouche as a running mate. I'd have about an equal chance of winning. They're so badly split now that Bush would have to commit something thoroughly heinous to lose. SPRING BREAK, FINALLY! For those of you going to Tahiti, the Bahamas, or some exotic land in Mexico, may you be burned to a crisp like I was in Virginia Beach last summer while some of us are forced to stay in this charming area. You know what I mean, that particularly tortuous kind of burn that prevents you from sleeping for half a week. Yes, the one that feels like you've been taking a bath in the immersion pool where they keep spent nuclear fuel rods. As most of you are no doubt aware, Spring Break is here, at long last. Everyone is burnt, to a crisp. When you're doing your partying, don't drink and drive ... I'd like to see you all back here in two weeks so you can suffer through finals like the rest of us that are stuck in this glorious town. Have a blast, and I'll see you when you get back. Make sure you write in about the eternal questions concerning Spring Break when you get back, and bring me SOfi?-et~ing. By BRAD HAYS Special to the Beacon Saturated Fat, a group that had been practicing their music for a few days, won first place at the Battle of the Bands.

The next band to perform was Saturated Fat. The group consists of Jeff Russo as lead singer, sophomore Jim Robinson on lead guitar, and sophomore Matt Knebl on bass. The other two members of the band were Neil, on drums, and Chris on rhythm guitar. Saturated Fat played "Ring of Fire" by Social Distortion, and "Suck My Kiss " by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Next up was Caught in the Whole, a band that has been together for three and a half years. The band members include Gingo, Rog, Pat the Freshman, on drums , and Michael Kiz.

Magical Strings at Chicory Once public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion," host Garrison Keillor just couldn't get the audience to stop applauding an act that had just finished so he could carry on with the show. It took three tries to get things started again. So great was the crowd's enthusiasm for Magical Strings, Philip and Pam Boulding of Seattle, who play Celtic harp, hammered dulcimer and an assortment of other instruments with a lyrical intensity, grace and rhythmic gymnasium that has made them Flying Fish Records' top-selling artists. Now with their enchanting original compositions and traditional tunes, inspired by or directly from the musical heritage of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales, Magical Strings is coming to Wilkes-Barre.. They'll be appearing at the Chicory House, on Friday, April 10 at 8:30 p.m. The nonprofit, volunteer-operated Chkory House, Northeastern Pennsylvania's only venue .dedj(;ated to presenting folk music, holds its coffeeho~se concerts in the Commumty Room of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, South Franklin Street, across from Boscov's. Doors will open for the Magical Strings concert at 8 p.m. With their recordings found as often as in "New Age" as in folk sections of record stores, magical Strings appears to many musical tastes , but the duo's inspiration is firmly within the Celtic tradition. Much of the Bouldings' own music has been deeply inspired by their travels in Ireland, a land to which they feel deeply connected. In their repertoire are set dances, reels, jigs and horn pipes, Irish laments, the music of the great harper O'Crolan, and pieces that sound like fairy dances or mystical, haunting dreams. Reflecting the various moods of the Gaelic world, their music may be gossamer and atmospheric or dynamic and imbued with an irresistible dance-ability. The Bouldings have toured as Magical Strings since 1979, playing to capacity crowds throughout North America and the British Isles. At home in the Seattle area, they are known for their festive Celtic Yuletide concert, which they perform with their five children, ages 8-19. They have appeare d frequently on TV and radio and have been the subject of a CNN documentary . Their music was recently used to launch General Motors ' television adverti sing campaign for the Saturn automobile. Magical Strings has released six albums, one on their own Glass Horse label, the other five on Fling Fish. "On the Burren," "Crossing to Skellig" and other Flying Fish albums have been consistent best sellers for the label. Magical Strings recordings will be available at their Chicory House concert. Admission to the April 10 concert will be $6 at the door. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis. For further information about this and other Chicory House presentations call 675-8843. �PAGE6 APRIL 8, 1992 THE BEACON Lady Colonels face five games in three days By BOB SIMMONS Beacon Assistant Sports Editor After having a lengthy lay off due to the inclement weather, the Lady Colonels found themselves faced with five games in three days. They met Kings College on Thursday, April 2, two days later took on divisional rivals Juniata, April 1., and then three days later traveled to Scranton, April 7. The game against Kings saw mother nature throw a curve to both teams. A cold, glcomy day got worse once the game got started because the white stuff (snow) began to fall. Never the less the Lady colonels proved their toughness once again when they defeated their cross-town rivals, the Lady Monarchs, by a score of 2-1. The Lady Colonels scored their two runs on four hits, which came from Sue Moran who had a triple, Hillary Blake, Denise Carson and Dawn Hosler all having singles. Sandie Warntz, Blake, and Carson all showed their aggressiveness on the base pads by each stealing a base. The Lady Colonel s had just one day to prepare for a division , doubleheader, against the Lady Indians of Juniata. The Lady Colonels walked away with a split.They won the first game 1-0, but were ten runned in the second game in five innings. Cory Schwoyer, the Lady Colonel's ace pitcher (5-0), gave up just two hits and one walk while helping herself out at the plate with a triple. That proved to be the game winning run when Hosler hit a single to bring Schwoyer across the plate for the win. "Our defense did a great job for us once again," said Coach Addy Malatesta. In the second game of the day, the Lady Colonels had some serious control problems with their pitching. Blake started the game but was knocked out of the box early. Blake gave up five runs on five walks and four wild pitches. It didn't get any better once Blake left the game. Jennifer Sebastianelli worked two and a third innings, giving up nine runs on eight walks and three hits. Finally Gia Andrejko worked the last two and two thirds innings, giving up one run while recording the only strikeout for the Lady Colonels. "We had a series of walks and wild pitches which left our defense defenseless," said Coach Malatesta Coach Malatesta added, "our defense is greedy and selfish. They are not responsible for giving up many runs." ;l'he Lady Colonels only had three runs on just four hits in the second game. The four hits were all singles contributed by Kathy Moran, Sue Moran, Carson and Hosler. Carson once again showed her aggressive style of play by stealing three more bases in the this game. Stacey Boyer and K. Moran each added a stolen base. The lady Indians won the game 14-3. Finally, the Lady Colonels traveled to Scranton. The Lady Royals are currently fourth in the region and twenty-first in the country. In the first game of the doubleheader the Lady Colonels scored two runs on eight hits. "We got exceptional play today from Hosler who started us off on the• . right foot," said Coach Malatesta. Hosler led off the game with a home run and later had a single. Boyer had a double, while Blake and Warntz both contributed two singles apiece and S. Moran added a single. Schwoyer pitched well once again giving up seven hits, while only allowing one run. She also picked up two strikeouts. The second game saw the Lady Colonels lose by one run 5-4 on a close play at the plate in the seventh. ' ' Hosler con~nued her hitting clinic by adding a single and a double with S. Moran racking up two more singles while Carson hit two singles and Becky Simon adding a single. ~r~sh~an pi_tcher, Gia Andrejko, went six innings giving up five runs on e1gnt hits while recording one strikeout. "G_ia, for onlr, b~ing a freshm an, went the distance for us today and did a great Job for us, said Coach Malatesta.

Preparing for life: The reason we are here that will affect many students on campus. Logical? Not here. Well, I have done it again. Where is the column pertaining to sports? Once I get up on my soap box there is no stopping me. A little sports for you, Major League Baseball opened Monday. And, the Yankees are 1-0, time to measure for the rings. Well, you can't always get what you want, and it appears that some are more greedy then ever. AH! Lessons in honesty, loyalty, compassion, and openness, where did you go to school &#$%@?. Preparing fo;_- life. That is what we are all here for, in college that is. Yet some people believe that instead of getting ready for what is to come, we must be sheilded, censored, and questioned. Let me start with a letter to the editor that the Beacon received. A portion of the letter read: 'Rainey-gate,' who cares! Administrative changes occur all of the time. The university does what it feels is best for the majority. And if you are truly here to "prepare for life," I suggest you wake up and enter the real world. There's much more to life then defending your basketball buddies. First off, this is a column, I can write anything I damn well please. If the letter writer wanted to express his/her opinions weekly they could have joined the staff. Staff openings were advertised throughout the year. Second, ram not defending my basketball buddies. I consider Coach Rainey a friend and a fine individual. What I was trying to do was bring ·out into the open the great injustice that was done to Coach Rainey by the administration. He is a class act, it will be our loss and certainly someone else's gain. Third, I know that things are not perfect and the Wilkes Administration is no exception. Things are not always done for the majority, sometimes the minority gets too greedy. Fourth, I was taught to stand up for what I believe in. I am by no means someone who could just stand by. I was not harping on the firing of Coach Rainey, but the way the administration went about it. I thought the school could have a little more CLASS on the way they handled the so-called "resignation." Come on we were not born yesterday, people do know what really happened. Quoting a line from a late '70's Billy Joel song, "honesty it's such a lonely word." That word would stand desolate in certain circles here at Wilkes. _ As a communications major here at Wilkes I have come to learn the word a little better then some. In my writing courses, I was taught to report the truth. Be honest when reporting, report both sides of a story and cut through the fluff. A writer owes his readers an accurate story, but I have had some trouble doing that. When you do a story, sometimes you are given the ever popular press release. The release is sort of a staged interview that tells only surface details. Grant it, a reporter has to dig for information, but the digging is not always easy when you hit a brick wall or a staged interview. The staged interview: no answers to your questions, no comments, the only thing I have to say is "it's in the release." Why do these sort of things take place? Because some people may be afraid to let the "outside" world in on what is really going on. Now and then people will talk to you about a certain circumstance, sometimes it will be for public consumption while other times it will be "off the record." Well maybe someone feels threatened, so they place a "gag" order on any individuals that are involved in the subject at hand. Tell me what the problem is, are there people out there afraid of the TRUTH!!! In the excerpt of the letter, the author says that we must prepare for the real world. You have a good point. I only wish that the people who need to see it do see it. There will not always be someone around to pick up the pieces or to make everything "nice nice" for you. It's time to start living in the real world. A perfect world it is not, a real world it is. A local paper reported on the impending hiring of a new AD and basketball coach. The paper even personally talked to the individual who was being considered. Yet the school would not answer any questions as to how progress was going. Why must the administration keep the students (who pay tuition that goes toward administrative salaries) in the dark. The student body has a right to know, but then again why tee anyone about two major decisions JMAIF?JCIBI JMA]D)NJE~~ CC(O)N<CJLU]D)JE~ ANJD) TJBIIB WJINNIEJR The winner of the 1992 Beacon March Madness contest is, Andy Gulden of Johnson City, New York.

Brazelton, the author of 22 books on pediatrics and child development, discussed the problems facing this genera tion of children growing up in the United States. He encouraged parents to "look for the smart rat in babies," a reference to his belief that babies will respond according to the way they are treated by those around them. A slide and film presenta tion illustrated Brazelton's "Touchpoint Model," a model which describes the various stages of a baby's development, such as walking, that are especially stressful. Brazelto n answered questions from members of the audience after an hour long address.

Brown arrived and quickly told the crowd to "Take back America," his campaign slogan. "1-800-426-1112, go home tonight and call me," urged Brown. "Send a wake up call to Washington," said Brown. Although Brown did not criticize any of his opponents, he did speak of his problems with the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Brown stated that if members of these officers are being paid $130 ,000 annually, they should be able to say more than--they don't have any answers. Brown addressed such issues as the economy, environment, and education. One key issue Brown stressed to the crowd, many of whom were high school and college students, was that as President he would attempt to abolish student loans and give every student scholarship money to finance their educations. "Students should not graduate from college already in debt," Brown said. Brown was the only Presidential candidate to campaign in our area.

Dear Editors: I am a second semester junior with a double major in Communications and Psychology. I am very active in extracurricular activities and maintain a high GP A. I have an exemplary dorm record (i.e., no offenses or dorm damage). For me, "Wilkes has worked," that is until recently. I have suffered a grave injustice at the hand of Wilkes University officials. I would like others to be aware of this, since my situation is not mutually exclusive. In March 1991, I applied for the position of resident assistant. I would like to cite several examples of inconsistencies in the RA selection process that the students, administration, alumni, and president should not tolerate. The RA position requires no less than three references to be included with an application. I did submit ~hree references with my application only to find out later (after some inquiry); that one had been misplaced. I was never informed of the loss and thus, I was not allowed the opportunity to replace it. Therefore, my application was not represented as well as it could have been. The RA position process allows students to be "written up" for dorm damage numerous times in their freshman and sophomore year without it having any bearing on the · applicant's status. I later found out that a student can even commit offenses several weeks before the final selection without it affec ting them adversely. I have never been on any type of probation, social or academic. I have never committed or condoned any type of dorm damage . My question is, how can those that commit such negligible acts be good role models? The RA process of interviewing has two phases: one with three student RA's (which varies for each applicant) and one with our three resident life personnel. The final selection committee consists of the three residence life personnel and six student RA's. There seems to be a lack of consistency within the selection process. The six RA's on the committee each interviewed different people, and there may be an applicant who was interviewed by an RA not on the committee. Also, the criteria for being an RA on the committee is simply to volunteer. This is pertinent because there were too many "coincidences" between those who received the RA positions and those who were on the committee. According to the residence life office, there was no preferential treatment. I do not believe that my assertions are without foundation, nor am I just a frustrated idealist who dropped her rose-colored glasses. The RA selection process needs to be reevaluated. I truly do not believe the "most qualified" applicants are being selected. Over seventy students applied for an RA position. I am certain that many of them can identify with my situation. This Continued on Page 8 �PAGES APRIL 1■1111-lllil■lllil I Dear Editors: I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the members of the following organizations for their assistance in making the Mock Trial on Date Rape such a success: The Beacon, Circle K Club, Communications Club, Debate Union, Inter-Residence Hall Council , and fre-Law Association. In particular, though, I'd like to congratulate the participants on a job well done. For the prosecution, Mr. Lawrence Socci, Ms. Lynn Krutz, and especially Ms. Adrienne Tinney, whose absolutely fantastic performance as the alleged rape victim is being talked about to this day. Many have suggested that her dramatic performance should result in an Oscar during next year's awards ceremony. The defense, who won the day, included Dr. Christina Beck, Mr. Wayne McDonnell, and Mr. Dave McCabe, who evaded the jail sentence in the end. The President's Task Force on Faculty-Student Interaction was designed to facilitate a dialogue between faculty and students. With an overall tally of 4 7 students and faculty, it seems that our efforts were not in vain. If students would like to see more mock trials in the coming years, we invite them to contact the members of the committee with their suggestions for possible topics. Any interested students should contact Dr. Bradford Kinney, Dr. James Merryman, or myself, and tell us what topics we should consider. Once again, thanks to all our participants, and, on behalf of the committee.

For further information call 824-8891 or 287-9651. 30, 1992 Dear Editors: I would just like to respond, for one last time, to Miss Silvi's comments about my first letter in her "Fire Back" article in the April 2 edition of the Beacon. First of all, I would like to congratulate her on painting such a wonderful picture about the work atmosphere in the office. It made Wally and the Beaver look like feuders. To answer her question; "Can you imagine working in a situation where everyone hated each other?" I have to reply; then why was there a walkout in the office during the last edition? Also, to the comment that she made many wonderful friends along the way is true: to her own faction. The members of the second faction, who for the time being shall be nameless, may have a different opinion. Miss Silvi also stated that I had several opportunities to return to the Beacon. Then why on September 11 and January 28 was I told my services were not wanted or needed? Miss Silvi also commented - -- - that she thought she received this honorable position because of her merits and journalistic know-how. I'm sure those two newswriting courses she took during her two semesters as a Communications major put her on the same level as Bob Woodward. I also want to comment that I totally agree with her statement "I have worked very hard to put together a staff of editors and writers who are doing a great job seeing that they are co II e g e students, not professional journalists." I agree with this statement, to an extent. The staff are indeed college students, but if they are planning on going into professional journalism, shouldn't they at least be exposed to a simulated professional environment? I've seen the real world, outside of Wilkes, and I fear that without proper training some of these students may not make it. Another thing I've been asked to comment on by former Beacon editors is the statement in the staff box which reads, "Rated as a First - - - --- -- -- THE BEACON Class newspaper with one mark of distinction by the Associated College Press." This statement is misleading to the student body, because, in case some of you may not realize, the award was given when Lee Morre! was editor in 1989. If the current Beacon were to be submitted to the ACP today, it would not receive the Booby Prize. If the editor still insists on leaving that statement in there, at least include the proper date. In closing, I address this to Bonnee Breese, the next Beacon editor-in-chief; I wish you the best of luck next year, Bonnee, although I don't envy you. You have a big mess to clean up. To Miss Silvi, I can only say this: "Yuk, Yuk. Now guess who's the lame duck." Jeffrey C.

MONEY FOR COLLEG,E Financial Aid ~******************~ • �P AGE 9 APRIL 30, 1992 THE BEACON ---·----·--- 1 Staff members say goodbye ... This is it. My last opportunity to speak my mind as a Beacon editorial staff member. For those of you who know me, you know that I am rarely at a loss for words, but this is different. As I look back on my four years at Wilkes there are many things that I have come to learn. I have learned the valu~ of true friendship, discipline and success. None of these thmgs are easy to find, but I can truly say I was lucky to stumble upon all three. KIJC- you are the best. We have definate~y been through it all. Remember spring break, Boscov's and just about everything else. You have been there for me all of the time and I know that this is not good-by!! Good luck Irene Jean!! KC- you are definately a unique person. I hope that you are happy, and remember not to settle for anything less than you deserve. I hope that you don't send D<l? to the_poorh~use in the meantime! Thanks for all of the advice, I think I rmght take it this time, then again who knows!! CL- smile!! My life has definately been more colorful since you came along. You are a great person!! Stay happy! Gena- I will forever be your slave! I wish you all the best of luck in the world. I definately don't know what I would have done without you lately! Remember graduation is at 2 p.m., maybe you should start getting ready now!! Just kidding honey- you're the best! Christine- You will get what you deserve! You guys have been the best and I truly will miss you! Remember all of those interesting times at the 25 and never forget that you're the hottest girl at Wilkes!!! Kate- I'm glad that you are happy!! I wish you the best. I'm glad you didn't end up with a member of the "Clueless Club." E&M- I have never laughed so hard in my life as I have with you two- although you have me convinced I am an airhead!! I don't have to wish you luck because I know that you definately will have no trouble being successful- look at you already! To all professors of the Communications Department and Dorothy. You are all the best. Thank you for all of the support and guidance. I don't think I would have done this without you!! I know you will miss my shining face every day in the office, but the life size poster is on the way!! And so the story goes, all good things must come to an end. CMC ***************************-********* Saying good-bye is never easy, especially when it means leaving people and a place you love. They say that your college years are the best years of your life. They say that the friends you make in college will be your best friends for life and frankly, I couldn't have said it better myself. If I have gained nothing from these four years I have my friends. Christina, the nasty girl, more than anything I will m iss o ur traditional end-of the-year toasts before you-know-who's class. Ms. Shawn, no one has ever made me laugh or drink as much as you. Syanara... meow, meow, meow. Finally, to my roommates, what can I say? Thanks doesn't cut it. Lor, after 20 years there's not much I can say except I wish you all the luck in the world at med school. I know you '11 make a terrific doctor. Miss, from the time we took over for residence life I knew I was in for an interesting year, but you made it three of the best years. No one else shares the same warped sense of humor as we do; and hopefully no one ever will. The both of you mean a lot to me. For all the times you _guys took the time to listen,_ Thanks.

Even though the university opened up a nationwide search, it decided on the obvious choice of eveeryone -- Phil Wingert. . Wingert has beerr"at Wilkes for the past"'ten years, serving as an Assistant Professor and Chairperson of the Physical Education Department, and as an Assistant Dean of Admissions and Sports Information Director. Since 1987, Wingert has been the Associate Athletic Director under John Reese. He was appointed last Monday as Reese's replacement which will be effective June 1st. He will continue his men's soccer coaching status where he has become the winningest soccer coach in Wilkes history with a 100-74-15 record. Wingert was selected by President Breiseth after a recommendation from the search committee made up of various members of the athletic department as well as the administration. The search committee screened more than 90 applicants and interviewed four applicants. One member of the search committee was Addy Maletesta, head softball and field hockey coach. Maletesta is excited to be working under Wingert as the new A.O. "I feel Phil will be beneficial for the advancement of both the men's and women's programs," said Maletesta. "He will be easy to work with for the coaching staff and a fair representative of the athletic department to Wilkes, the administration and the Wilkes community." Wingert is as well very exicited and anxious about his new position. "It's good to be on board," Wingert said. "I'm pleased to have been chosen to build on what John Reese has built here for the last 34 years. I'm confident I will handle the day-to-day duties of the position. What I hope to bring to the job are new and innovative ideas." Wingert plans on designing the lobby area of the Marts Center to express a better image of the athletic programs. This idea is still in the planning sta!!es. Another idea Wingert has introduced is the creation of a "captains council" which will be made up of various representatives from each athletic team at Wilkes. The idea of the council will be for student-athletes to voice their concerns and ideas. But, these new ideas will have to be put on hold temporarily due to a major void in the athletic department that needs to be filled. The order of business at hand is the hiring of a men's head basketball coach for the replacement of Ron Rainey who resigned after this past season. According to Wingert, the position is presently being advertised and a search committee has been organized to screen potential candidates. "We're not going to rush the process because it is an important job, but · we hope to have the position filled before the end of school," said Wingert. Wingert has a long road ahead, but the future looks bright for him. With his new ide~s for the advancement of the athletic ~rograms it seems that the only way is up. · Farewell thoughts from the bleachers Well, here we are. April 30, 1992. When I took this job I never thought that this day would come, and now I'm sorry it has. Almos~ sorry. For many of you it is time to rejoice and celebrate, you will never have to read my stuff again. And for my beloved followers, how few there may be, you can start living under your normal identities again. But, thanks for the effort. The year has certainly had its ups and downs, but, it has been a year of learning as well as experience. I can honestly say that by working on the Beacon there has been no greater education, than the experience that I have gained while I have been a staff member. Before I get carried away, as I usually do, I would like to offer my personal congratulations to co~ch Phil Wingert _on his aJ?pointment as the .'lew athletic director here at Wilkes. As I stated m a prev10us column, I felt that coach Wingert was the right choice for the job, finally someone agreed with me. I have had my share of "trouble" and controversy during my tenure on the staff. But, I am sure that everyone is sick of hearing about it, I know that I am tired of writing about it. So it's done, so be it! This is beginning to sound like an academy award acceptance speech, but this is my last chance to voice my thoughts to the Wilkes community, so just sit tight. They will be presenting "Best Original Song" soon. Instead of going out and buying a stack of thank you cards I'll do my kissing up here. To the professors of the Communications department , I will to thee, Oh got a little carried away there. But seriously, thanks to everyone over there in the hallowed halls of Capin Hall. You have made my four years here memorable, and I will probably will never be able to thank everyone for all the support that you gave me, as well as the other students, you truely are a top notch bunch. . . I would also like to thank the members and coaches m the athletic depru:tme.nt .. .You .made what .could have .been a tough _job .a little tasi.er..... i.. Thanks Coach McGuire for putting up with the same line week after week, "I need stats." Coach Rainey, good luck in your future plans, and after golfing with you this past week, there is always hope for you to gain your tour card, NOT! Well next year I will be leaving you in the hands of a new, but, experienced sports staff. Bob and Missie should be all right, but I do stress "should. " Have you ever seen Goofy and Sybil when they get in their moods? Take cover Wilkes Barre. To Archie, thanks for all the intestinal yoga sessions in the smoke room. I was talking to Seymour the Seagull the other day and he is all ready for my visit. Mr. Bigler, thanks for your help with everything. I was a "raw" fresh man who fell under your infl uence. I know I will never forget your lessons in life. Well Bob, it is time to pass down the golden X-acto knife. Be sure to treat it with respect. Here is a little advice for you, be sure not to loose your patience or temper, up there in the trenches of the Beacon. Because, you know that I never did! Before I forget, I would like to thank my mother and father for all that they have done for me. Without them none of this would have been possible. Everyone should have it this good. To Hoff, Bill, Mike, Pepe, Bob and anyone I did not mention thanks for the memories. We sure had fun, it may not always seemed that way, but, believe me the memories are priceless. I am beginning to sound like Bob Hope, I better stop before I break out in song. Well, I think it is time to end this. I am getting teary eyed and it is getting tough to see the screen. Well, I am New Jersey bound, because I actually will be working. You see, that diploma you get is actually good for something. Go Nets. That will about do it, and since I can not figure out a way to end it, I'll say it this way one last time ... "See ya in the bleachers!" --J.R. •t •◄ I • �THE BEACON APRIL P AGE 30, 1992 11 Lady Colonels conclude regular season By BOB SIMMONS Beacon Assistant Sports Editor On Thursday, April 9, at 3:00 p.m. the Lady Pacers from Marywood came into Kirby Park hoping to pull off a miracle. Unfortunately, for the Lady Pacers the Lady Colonels decided to wake up their bats. In the first game the lady Colonels got nine runs on 10 hits. The bats were not th~ only things alive that day for the Lady Colonels. Corey Schwoyer, the ace pitcher on the squad, recorded five strikeouts and only allowed one hit. The offensive power came from six individuals: Stacey Boyer and Denise Carson each had a single, Dawn Hosler ripped a double, Kathy Moran cracked two singles, Schwoyer helped her own cause out with a double and Sandie Warntz contributed three singles. In game two it only got worse for the Lady Pacers. The Lady Colonels scored 12 runs on 15 hits as they cruised to a 15-0 win. It was Deja Vu for the Lady Colonels in regards to how they walked away with such an easy win, excellent hitting and great pitching. Once again the hitting came from six individuals, three from the first game and three others. · Hosler lead the way with three home runs for the Lady Colonels while Warntz picked up where she left off in the first game adding two more doubles as well as K. Moran did the same chipping in with a double. Hillary Blake came to life with a triple and a single. Also adding to the offensive fire power was Sue Moran with a double and Becky Simon with a single. Gia Andrejko, freshman ace pitcher, only allowed one hit striking out two and giving up three walks. On Saturday, April 11, the Lady Colonels traveled to Susquehana to take on the Lady Crusaders. The Lady Colonels came come with a split. They won the first game 3-1 but lost the second game 10-8. In the first game the Lady Colonels went with their ace, Schwoyer, on the mound. Schwoyer gave up 11 hits but only allowed one Lady Crusader to cross home plate. The offense was there once again for the Lady Colonels getting three runs on six hits. Schwoyer helped her own cause again by ringing up two hits, a single and a triple. Warntz joined her in the two hit club with a single and a double. Hosler continued her hitting ways with a double and S. Moran added a single. In game two the bats were alive for the Lady Colonels but it just wasn't enough. Hosler kept her "hitting clinic" going with two singles. S. Moran and Simon each contributed a single while Boyer and K. Moran ripped a double each and Carson added a single and a double. The Lady colonels got a well deserved ten day rest, but when it was time to put the cleats back on they were facing a tough Elizabethtown College team. The Lady Colonels repeated their prior performance of splitting a doubleheader. They won the first game 2-1, but lost the second 9-5. Schwoyer took her usual spot for the Lady Colonels on the mound and recorded seven strike outs while giving up one run on eight hits. Once again the Lady Colonels got six hits form basically the same girls: Blake, Boyer, Carson, Hosler, K.Moran, and Warntz, all contributed singles. In the second game Schwoyer was called on once again to do the pitching. Unfortunately, this appearance was one which she would like to forget. Schwoyer struck out five, but gave up mne runs vu 11) h1t~ . Once again six bats were alive for the Lady Colonels; Hosler continued her hitting ways with a double and a triple, S. Moran and Carson each added two singles while K. Moran, Jen Stackhouse and Warntz all contributed singles. The Lady Colonels really woke up their bats on Thursday, April 23, when they traveled to Delaware Valley to take on the Lady Aggies. This time the Lady Colonels took both games of the doubleheader and did it convincingly. They won the first game 18-5 and the second 24-1. The "freshman fireballer" Andrejko was on the mound in the first game and gave up four runs on three hits. Hosler showed why she is leading the team in hitting with a single, double and a triple. Joining her with three hits was Warntz with two singles and a double. The two hit club has Blake, two singles, K.Moran, two singles, and Schwoyer, a single and a double. Jenna Sebastianelli contributed a single. In game two the Lady Colonels really showed their stuff. They got 24 runs on 21 hits. Going with the batting order here goes the "hit parade:" Hosler had three home runs, S. Moran had two singles, Warntz had a single, a double and a home run, Kim Smith had a single, Boyer had a triple, Blake had a single, Stackhouse had two singles and a double, K. Moran had four singles, Jennifer Sebastianelli had a single, Kerri Rabel had a single, Simon had two singles and Lisa Wrubel had a home run. Jenn. Sebastianelli struck out two and only allowed one run on one hit. The Lady Colonels, Saturday, April 25, took on Messiah in their last home game of the 1992 season. Unfortunately, the Lady Colonels lost both games 2-1. Schwoyer took the mound for the Lady Colonels and gave up two runs on eight hits while striking out eight. The bats were alive again, but only one person came across the plate. Hosler was still doing her thing, hitting. She had a single and a double . Warntz also kept her hitting streak alive with a triple. Schwoyer tried to help her self out with a double . Blake came through with two singles and Boyer, Carson and Stackhouse all added singles. In game two of the afternoon Schwoyer was on the mound again. Unfortunately, the game ended the same way. Schwoyer gave up two runs on five hits while striking out four. Hosler once again had a hit in the game, a single, along with Boyer and Carson. Stackhouse contributed a double and S. Moran added a triple in a losing effort. Yesterday, the Lady Colonels traveled to Misericordia to make up the game which was rained out on March 30. The Lady Colonels lost both games, 5-2 and then 4-0. The Lady Colonels finish the year 13-10 and are awaiting a bid from the East Cost Athletic Conference. They should receive the news sometime next week.

Wilkes split a doubleheader against Albright College at home, and they compiled a 2-2 record on the road against the likes of Delaware Valley College, Scranton University, Juniata College and Moravian College. Wilkes beat Delware Valley 6-4, and they beat Scraton 6-3. But Wilkes lost to Juniata 3-1 and to Moravian 12-8. Since break Wilkes also faced King's College, Elizabethtown College, and Allentown College. On Thursdav aftern oon Wilkes smashed Kin1r's 12-0 at Artillerv Park. On Saturday Wilkes dropped both games in a doubleheader against the Bluejays of Elizabethtown at home.Wilkes lost the first game 3-2, and they lost the second game 5-2. In the first game of the doubleheader the Bluejays started the scoring when Grubb drove home Geolgelis in the top of the fifth inning. The Bluejays led at this point 1-0. Wilkes tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning when Tom Whille drove home Dave Wesoloskie. The Bluejays regained the lead 3-1 when Anders~n was driven home by Blum's single and when Blum was driven home by Shipman's double. Wilkes tried to mount a comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning when Dave Wesoloskie's single drove home Rob Michaels, but their rally was stifled by the Bluejays. Wilkes' pitcher Dirk Heberle recorded the loss. He had seven strikeouts in seven innings, and he gave up nine hits and only one walk. Elizabethtown's pitcher Grubb had statistics that were similar to Heberle's. He also had seven strikeouts in seven innings, but Grubb gave up twelve hits. In the second game of the doubleheader the Bluejays again started the scoring in the top of the second inning when Geolgelis drove home Akpa to make the score 1-0. Elizabethtown boosted their lead to 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Geib scored on Grubb's single and when Grubb scored on Shipman's double. The Colonels retaliated in the bottom of the sixth inning, and they cut the Bluejay's lead to 3-2. Steve Endres' triple allowed Steve Klem to score, and Steve Endres scored on a fielder's choice. Elizabethtown furthered their lead to 5-3 and won the game in the top of the seventh inning. Both Grubb and Lutz scored on Solosa's single. Colonel pitcher Bill Noone recorded the loss; he struck out seven Bluejays in seven innings. Noone also gave up nine hits and walked only two batters. Blum recorded the win for the Bluejays. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and struck out six batters. Blum didn't give up any walks. On Monday Wilkes recorded a 10-2 win over Allentown at home. All told the Colonels combined for thirteen hits. Tom Whille led all Colonel batters with three hits; he also had two RBI's. Both Steve Endres and Steve Klem had two hits and two RBI's. Also worthy of praise is Dave Kaschak who also had two RBI's. Wilkes' pitcher Joe Balay recorded the win for the Colonels. Balay pitched eight innings and had nine strikeouts. Gil Hoak struck out three batters in his one inning of pitching. Wilkes currently has an overall record of 13-9, and they currently have a 6-5 record in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northwest. There are four games left for the Colonels. Wilkes must face two Division II teams, Bloombburg University and East Stroudsburg University. Wilkes must also face cross-town rival King's College. Several Colonels have had outstanding seasons at the plate despite having four games left. . Junior Tom Whille who has played in 22 games boasts a .443 batting \lverage. Whille leads the team with 35 hits and 22 runs scored, and he rnnks second in plate appearences with 79. Whille has 4 doubles, 2 triples, 2 homers, and 20 RBI's. Sophomore Dave Wesoloskie who has appeared in 21 games for the ::::olonels has a .350 batting average for the season. Wesoloskie has 21 hits, i doubles, 3 triples, and 3 homeruns in 21 at bats. He also has 12 RBI's. Sophomore Steve Endres like Wesoloskie has also appeared in 21 games for the Colonels. Endres has a .347 batting average. Endres has 24 hits, 2 doubles, 6 triples, and 1 homer in 69 plate appearences. Endres also has 13 RBI's. Sophomore Steve Klem who played in 22 games led the team with 90 plate appearences, 6 homeruns, 21 RBI's, and 6 doubles. Klem and Rob Michaels shared second place for runs scored with 21. Klem was also in second place on the team for hits with 31. He currently has a .344 batting average. Sophomore Dave Kaschak has a .307 batting average for the season. Kaschak who has appeared at the plate 78 times in in 22 games has 24 hits, 4 doubles, 1 triple, 3 homers, and 20 RBI's. Sophomore Rob Michaels has a .295 batting average in 71 plate appearences in 22 games. Michaels has 21 hits, 3 doubles, 2 triples, 4 homeruns, and 10 RB I's . Senior Chris Imperiale has a .280 batting average in 57 at bats in 20 games. Imperiale is second on the place on the team in triples with 4. He also has 16 hits, 2 doubles, and 4 triples. Besides being impressive at the plate, the Colonels have also been pretty impressive on the mound. Freshman Billy Noone led the team with 30 strikeouts. Junior Dirk Heberle and fre shman Joe Balay share second place on the team for strikeouts with 28. Noone has a 3-2 record for the season thus far, and Balay has the best record for all Colonels pitchers with a 5-0 record for the season thus far. Both of these pitchers have performed admirably considering that this is their first season of college baseball. Head coach Bob Duliba had also predicted in the beginning of the season that the bullpen could have been a weakness due to youth and depth. An overwhelming majority of the current team, pitchers and position players, will have eligibility remaining after this season, and experience will be their only weakness. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA ., WILKES UNIVERSITY'S WEEKLY STUDENT NEWS PUBLICM.:.if.,UIJ.>1---'-- - ack to school fun VERSITY ~ ~ ~ ~ , 1992 The Scent in the Wind by Al Mueller ents are shown b day as a semester begins Parking. The perennial issue has once more raised it ugly head on the campus. One female member of the senior class is noted for saying, "If the administration went through what we commuters go through every day on this campus, you can bet that something would have already been done about the parking situation." From a rhetorical standpoint, this statement is good agitative rhetoric. From a practical standpoint, this statement is totally inaccurate. Whereas this article is written by one of the most noteworthy antiadministration commuter students on the campus, one hopes the reader can appreciate the profoundness of the previous statement. Parking has been the central issue on Wilkes' campus for the last forty years. If one looks to the very first editions of this newspaper, one will find columns crying out for more parking spaces on campus. A certain cynical History professor might say at this junction, "It's nice to know some things never change." But, this is not to say that nothing has been done about the problem. Rather, it implies two very important concepts. First, Wilkes is a city campus, located just a stone's throw away from Public Square. Consequently, the lack of parking spaces is endemic to the geographic location of the campus. But, you might ask, why does King's have more parking than Wilkes? The reason is they are located near the courthouse. The difference in locations and parking space has everything to do with money. That is, rich lawyers and judges work in the courthouse. But, who do you find on Public Square? Homeless people who beg you for money. If you were the municipal planners, where would you build parking garages? . The second implication deals with the economic side of the coin. If one looks at the record of the administration carefully enough, one finds that, for the past several years, they have actually added an average of 25 spaces per year. So, why hasn't this produced a positive effect? The reason is that, as more spaces are added, more students drive to .school. As more spaces are needed, more money is needed to develop new spaces. Where does this money come from? Tuition. The overall number of students on Wilkes' campus dropped dramatically in the last academic term. Consequently, the money just isn't there to effect major change. The result, a vicious cycle. Several proposals have been put forward by the administration in the last few years to deal with the situation. However, they have been shot down by the very people who need the parking spaces, the commuters and the faculty. Yes, faculty have the same problems as the commuters. Why else do you think many of them have office hours in the morning? As for the commuter council, anyone who has been involved on campus for the past three years can tell you that Jadi Willison is probably the best hop for change the commuter council has offered us. What we need now is not the rhetoric of agitation, but simple, honest discussion of the issues by all parties concerned. So, instead of being quick to point the finger at the commuter council or the administration, look up the facts. In this instance, you will find that the facts mirror Shakespeare's oft-misquoted line, "The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves." �PAGE SEJYr. 2 10, 1992 lllil&i11fitttiirl1l1l tl WILKES WORKS Let's get busy.

Sophomore Matt Haney returns this season as goalie after taking over the job early last year. Haney answered the call by posting eight shutouts last season and allowing only eight goals over the last fourteen games. Head Coach Phil Wingert is entering his eleventh season for the Colonels. Wingert is concerned with how well his team will blend together, but he has other aspects to worry about as well. "Other factors that will determine the success of our season is staying free of injury. Our depth is limited at key positions and we can't afford injuries to quality players," stated Wingert. Thurs.

The Colonels will open the season with Plymouth State of New Hampshire at Ralston Field this Saturday at 1:30. "Student support will be a key to the Colonels success this season," according to DeMelfi. "We must be confident with a lead," added DeMelfi. Crowd support ignites confidence in a football team .

"I haven't seen a rash of incidents like this during my tenure," said Lampe-Groh, a 23year employee of Wilkes. "I don't care where you are or where you live. In 1992, you have to be careful. You have to be cognizant of your friend's situations." Groh' s concerns for safety are also shared by many Wilkes students. "It really does affect me," said Greg Dobash, a Biologyfirst and third victims Pre Med major.

"It is becoming a problem," said Bill Mozier, an Environmental Engineering major. "I don't take any precautions, but I'll definitely keep it in the back of my mind." Students should also take note of services offered by the security department. Security can be contacted at extension #4999 from any campus phone. There is also C.A.R.E. (Criminal Activity Reporting Extension), an answering machine set up at extension #2273, on which students can leave any anonymous tips on this matter and any other campus crime. And lastly, there is Operation Alert. Operation Alert is a program that uses a personal alarm device that is easily activated if you feel threatened.

Commuters can sign up for the program in the CC Office in the Conyngham Student Center or the Campus Information Desk in the Stark Lobby. According to Lampe-Groh, the school is continuing to meet with university officials and officers from Wilkes-Barre Police and detective divisions in an effort to catch the assailants as soon as possible. Until the assailants are caught, however, people should remain cautious.

"It was not a full-fledged incident," said Michael J. Garnett, South Area Coordinator of Residence Life. "But before this escalates into anything I want to nip it in the bud." One incident involved flyers being slipped under one individual's door in Pickering Hall. "As far as I am concerned, they don't know if he was gay or not," said Robert Steele, advisor to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Association at Wilkes University. "It's mainly that if someone deviates from the basic male behavior they're called a fag. It keeps people in fear of deviating from the norm, which is bad for everybody, gay or straight." �SEPTEMBER T HE B EACON 17, 1992 PAGE BEACON FORVB Mazr1 EDITORIAL The Scent In the Wind by Al Mueller FEAR & COMMON SENSE Those of you who know me, might not think that I am afraid of what's been happening regarding the recent assualts. I am. The posting of the most recent "Safety Notification" from Dean Lampe, has made me begin to take safety precautions while on campus at night. Students, common sense should tell you not to walk the streets unless you are accompainied by someone. I'm not saying, only around campus, but anywhere. Common sense should also tell you to walk closely to the curb of the street and not close to the bushes and shrubbery. If you find yourself in a bad situation yell, "FIRE," not help. People who hear you are more likely to get involved instead of being passive viewers of your bad situation. Use the word "FIRE'' It and only It, you are bem:g anackect. Another caution, don't act like you're afraid of a would be assailant. They usually can sense that. Walk with confidence and don't stop at night for a strangers request, let them ask someone else, no matter how nice they may seem.

" Sound like the opening line in an ad for the Programming Board's new horror movie? Unfortunately, it is not. The safety, security, and welfare of students at Wilkes is a problem that has been with us for a long time, and it will continue to remain a problem until we, the students, decide to do the one thing that no student body has dared to do since the 1970s-make the entire campus a massive student-run organization. In short, we must provide forourselves what many other people on this campus will not-peace of mind. But then, what do you expect from an organization that doesn't even automatically provide First-Aid kits to the buildings on campus? According to Ms. Diane O'Brien, because Wilkes is in the midst of a budget crisis, this service had to be discontinued. This author may be going against :he grain, but if that policy isn't a violation of a 1ealth requirement, it should be! Regardless of :he fact, though, the policy merely reinforces what we have suspected for quite some time-that the student body must learn to 'do for itself because few other people are going to do it for us. Simply put, our security guards can't be expected to be everywhere at once. The assaults that occurred last week are enough to suggest this simple fact oflife. By using the devices already in existence, such as the Operation Alert and the CARE services, we can make some immediate, short-term progress.

Chicago has sold more than 100 million albulms since 1968. The band's newest album, Chicago Twenty- 1, brings back the group's magnificent horn section in full force. The band originated in February 1967, when six young musicians with backgrounds ranging from classical rock and roll to jazz created a rock band with horns to be used as an integral part of the band's sound. In the 70' s, they released an unbroken string ofhitalbums. Hits such as "Feeling Stronger Every Day," "Just You and Me," and "Saturday in the Park" displayed Chicago's mid-tempo songs and power ballads, which has enhanced Chicago's extraordinary reputation as one of pop . , s mos t exci·un· g Ii ve ban ds. music Ch" d d _ 1cago 17_ pro uce h'Its sue h as "S tay the N"1g ht," "H ar d H ab"t i t o B re ak,, , an d "You' re the Inspiration" propelling the album past the six-mil- lion mark. The band is comprised of Jason Scheff, bass and vocals; Walt Parazaider, woodwinds; James Pankow, trombone; Lee Loughnane, trumpet; Robert Lamm, keyboards and vocals; Bill Champlin, keyboards, guitar, and vocals; and Dwayne Bailey, guitar. For twenty-three years, The Moody Blues have been musical mainstays on concert satges, recordings and on the airwaves. Theirconsistencyhas generated the sale of over 55 million albums and created a standard for classical rock music. Their first studio album, Days of Future Passed, released in 1967, featured "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin." This album was one of the very first concept albums, and set the style for many others to follow. From 1969 until 1972, The Moody Blues produced such hits as, "Never Comes the Day," "Questions," and "Isn't Life Strange," hits that firmly established the Moodies as one of the emerging mega-groups of the time. The Moodies next album release was The Other Side of Life in 1986, containing their top ten hit, "Your Wildest Dreams." Sur La Mer followed in 1988, containing the single "I Know You' re Out There Somewhere." Concert goers can expect to hear their favorite Moodies classics, as well as some new selections, from band members Justin Hayward, singer, songwriter, and guitarist; John Ludge, bassist; Ray Thomas, flutist, and Graeme Edge, drummer.

I hope you all had an enjoyable summer and are now ready to make this another great year at Wilkes. So far, most of our sports teams are off to a good start, and that is what we like to see. To all the new members of the coaching staff, I would like to welcome you all to Wilkes University, and let you know the sports staff at the Beacon is ready to cover all your events. I would ask all of you to please cooperate with my staff, and they will do their best to see that your teams make the sport pages of the paper. The staff would like to congratulate Coach DeMelfi and his football team for an excellent job last Saturday. It was nice to hear all the talk around cam pus and town, for that matter, about the football game. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the game because of an ill aunt back home, but, I heard there was a nice turnout for the game. Since we' re talking about attendance, I would like to see it grow, and not only at the football games,but at the other sporting events as well. . . Hard work, dedication, and heart are all a part of a wmmng team, but you, the fans, play a big part in the success of any team. When the crowd starts roaring as the team is ready to take the field or court and the other team hears this, it is definitely to the home team's advantage.

This includes the faculty and staff as well. This past weekend, I know there were some members of the faculty and staff at the game, but lets not make it a one-timedeal, or an occasional visit. To other sports teams that are not in season, go and support your fellow students, because then they will come and support you when your season starts. There is one other issue that I would like to take up here; the matter of tailgating at the football games. Tailgating is something which is done at football games all around the country. Tailgating and football go together like baseball and hot dogs, they just go together so nicely. Yes, during tailgating parties there is some beer drinking, but isn't that what college football games are all about, having a good time with friends and cheering your team to victory? To the hierarchy of the school, they' re just having a good · time and blowing off some steam from the long week they had and they're not hurting anyone. · . To the students, please stay under control while you're tailgating. No one wants anyone to get hurt, and no one wants to see something like tailgating be taken away from us because of irresponsible students. This week everyone gets a cheer.

The tallest player is freshmen Wendy O'Connor at 6'0". "We may be small, but we are a very quick defensive team," said Coach Pizzella. When the Lady Colonels finally got the chance to put all their hard work into action they walked away with a first place finish in the Luzerne County Recreational Toumament. "I knew we could win the tournament if we could beat King's ," said Coach Pizzella. The Lady Colonels did in fact beat King's, 6-15, 15-7, 15-4 and won the tournament. They also had to come from behind after losing their match, except for the St. Joe's match, and then would turn it up a notch to defeat their opponent," said Coach Pizzella. "We played better this year as a team and we have some good recruits that helped us. We never gave up," said Ketner. Ketner and O'Connor both were named to the all-tournament team. On Tuesday night the Lady Colonels took on Elizabethtown and Albright, but unfortunately could not repeat their performance from the past weekend. The Lady Colonels were stopped by E-Town 10-15, 9-15 and then by Albright 11-15, 915. "I knew E-Town was a first set to Misericordia 8-15, 15-7,15-4. In the championship match the Lady Colonels crushed St.Joe's 15-0, 15-8. "The girls must have liked having pressure on them because they dug themselves a hole at the beginning of every very good team and were capable of taking control of a game, but against Albright we made a lot of mistakes which cost us the match," said Coach Pizzella.

People's lives cannot be separated from their myths, which are reflections of their lives. The myth cycle mirrors the life cycle. Sex and the supernatural are intertwined. Just listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," which speaks of creating a state of sexual light and a union with the divine. Carl Jung, a student of Freud, said that the mind, or psyche is intrinsically bisexual or twin-sexed. The gods and goddesses of the past were often veiled in the guises of the "opposite sex," such as the bearded Venus, the female Zeus and Dionysus in drag to name a few. Here is a myth seldom related, which demonstrates how unrestricted the borders of sex and gender were in the past. Zeus, the father of the Gods, was, in modern terms, horny. He was inclined to have sexual relations with anything. Gods, goddesses, animals, etc. - the borders were, indeed, thin. Therewas,accordingtothemyth,ashepherdboynamedGanymede, who was said to be the most beautiful male mortal created. This boy caught the eye of Zeus' attraction. One night, Ganymede was sleeping naked in the pasture among his goats. Zeus stared down upon him from heaven with great lust. No one divine ever held his heart so. He pronounced his will and transformed himself into the guise of an eagle. Out of the midnight heavens, Zeus shot down to Earth like a thunderbolt, and abducted Ganymede. Zeus took him back to heaven, and loved him so much that he made him his cup bearer. Eventually, Zeus expressed his divine love for Ganymede by ···---·····- him into a God. We at the LGBA plan to offer Wilkes an open dialogue about gays, lesbians and bisexuals, and related issues.-Every other issue, we will write a column about a relevant topic to the goals of the LGBA. In the issues where we won't be writing a column, we would like the campus community to let us know how they feel about certain gayrelated issues. For this week, we would like to know how you feel about same-sex marriages. What reasons do you have to oppose them? Is it religious? What are the repercussions on the rest of the community? Should gay "spouses" be allowed to adopt? Should most employers allow "spousal benefits" as they do to heterosexual spouses, as in cases of medical and financial benefits? . . · d This dialogue will not work without your mput.

A young man told a friend and I exactly that while in a discussion about the recent attacks on our fellow students. This statement made a great deal of sense to me; that's why I chose to share it with all of you. What this statement means is: run if you feel it is necessary to do so when (encountering) a bad situation. Do not stand there and fight; you may lose and that's a bad stand. Our campus security department is making every possible effort to keep our students, staff and faculty safe. It's not that they have just begun to take these extra measures for the safety of our campus, they have always been here for us. We just have not had the need to utilize their services to the fullest extent until now. Through the pages of this issue of Th e Beacon, you will find all sorts of safety measure messages from many people on our campus. Take heed to them, don't just read it and not let it sink in, take heed. You don't know; this can happen to anyone of you, and me too. SIGN OF THE TIMES The recent attacks have also made many of us aware of the fact that unemployment and crime are both on the rise. More times than many these two socio-economic factors seem to go together wherever and whenever they occur. These factors usually happen in places other than in a small city like Wilkes-Barre. But, this is a national epidemic. These types of incidents may not have happened in our own backyards before, but certainly they have happened on a huge scale in the big cities of our nation. We must take into account the effects of unemployment. When people don't have jobs they usually try to make a way somehow without resorting to criminal activity. However, when people fi nd that being honest doesn't work, sometimes they will almost undoubtedly resort to criminal acts to survive. I hate to be the one to say this, but racism does come into play with the ills of our nation and locality. People of color have a more difficult time obtaining employment when the nation as a whole is. suffering from an ailing economy. This group of people usually gets hit hard firs t and in the worst ways. Needless to say that people of color in our area aren't obtaining jobs at a steady rate. They never have, but maybe someday they will be. If these types of criminal acts continue in our area, many people will have to take a long, hard and serious look at themselves, their companies, their schools, their businesses, and their establishments. , We must also take a good long look at these factors ourselves, as students about to go into,or better said, go out from the safety of an educational situation and into the real world. THE BEACON 24, 1992 The Scent In the Wind by Al Mueller The phenomenon of Judy Fitch has come and gone. While she may not have ranked in the top ten in the Miss America pageant, those of us who know Judy will always rank her first in our minds and hearts. But, a strange thing happened on the night of Saturday, September 19, 1992. For the first time in a long time, the name Wilkes University was spread across the country in one of the most positive public relations campaigns in our University's history. It is quite a contrast to our normal day to day dealings with the PR office at Wilkes, isn't it? Even without the recent attacks on students, Wilkes has always received very negative press from the local newspapers, while our Stalinist neighbor, King's, seems to have the power to part the Red Sea. Why? Because out PR department doesn't have a clue as to what PR is all about. Instead of seeing opportunities to spread the good news about Wilkes' students among the heathens of Wilkes-Barre, they see themselves as gods, passing judgement on what is, as well as what is not self-aggrandizement. For, according to their faith, selfaggrandizement amounts to printing more than one news item per semester about and individual student orfaculty member. Almost anyone can name the statistics of the football team for the last three years off the top of their heads, not so much because single digits are easier to remember; but because PR at Wilkes is allied with the sports industry. We all remember the hullabaloo over our President's award frorr:. the scouts last year. And, no article on the PR office could be complete without mentioning the Earth Conservancy Group. But, there are those of uswhodon'twearhelmets, hold our fingers in aberrations of the peace symbol of the 1960' s, and who don't run around worrying about every leaf in the greenhouse called earth. No, some of us are too busy doing things thatotherpeople can only dream about. What's the matter? Does the idea of positive PR frighten our PR office? Or,maybe, the problem is that positive PR sounds too much like work. One article does not a university make, nor does an eight page piece of trash do much else, Th e Intercom may be a means to spread the word intracampus, but it doesn't do much to spread the word off campus. Many faculty members were promoted last year and some even received their doctorates; turn it around. Unfortunately, it seemstolateforthat. Too many years of wasteful management and subservience to the Sophist of Hippo have created a permanent and malignant cancer that, continues to spread. One wonders why the majority of students at Wilkes are apathetic to their studies. But, the reason is simply that doing something re- 1-,,::,.......,,,---,......,,,. spec!able aroun~ here is li~e wettmg yourself m ~ dark smt; - -- you get a warm feelmg, but no one else notices.

The 10,000 Maniacs began their concert on September 16, 1992 at the Kirby center with songs from earlier albums. Fans fell in love as Merchant came into the audience and sang with them.

He is now the starting quarterback for the Colonels. Perry played three years of football at Canton High School, sitting out his freshman year. He started varsity as a sophomore. Perry earned Second team, All-State Honors his junior and senior years at Canton. He also played shortstop and pitcher for his school's baseball team. Now in his freshman year at Wilkes·, Perry has run for four touchdowns and passed for two touchdowns in just two games. He is ranked third in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) for total offensive yards. Perry was attracted to Wilkes when he was recruited. "It's not a big campus, and there's not a large number of students here. Everyone is very friendly," said Perry. Wilkes is now 2-0 overall, and 1-0 in the MAC under Perry's command at quarterback. But he doesn't want all the credit. "Our offensive line is unbelievable. I have all the time in the world to pass. You could drive a Volkswagon through some of the holes they create," noted Perry. According to Perry, the defense plays an important role in the Colonels' success. "You can't say enough about the defense. They're solid. They keep us in the game when the offense isn't clicking." Perry and the Colo will go on the road this Saturday to play at Susquehanna. Both t undefeated this season.

Although the Wilkes cross country team was defeated by Delaware Valley College, 19-44, they still were able to overcome King's College 18-412. By observing the Lebanon Valley Invitational, which was held on Saturday, September 12, coach Tim Tyson "knew where our kids were as to matching up the two teams." Tyson was impressed by sophomore Jeff Crahalla, whose running continued to improve as the race progressed. Crahalla ran the course in 30:55, which was enough to award him second overall in the race, and first among the rest of the Colonel Harriers. As for the other members of the Wilkes team, Jim Robinson came in second with a time of 34:37, Brad Smith was third with 34:59, Rich Bonning came in fourth with 35:05, and fifth was Dave Hines who came in with a time of 42: 14. Although Wilkes does not officially have a women's cross country team, two women did achieve recognition for their efforts on· Saturday. Shiela Bubba's run allowed her to come in third overall for the Lady Colonels with a time of 25:44. Suzanne Stanski also place for the Colonels with 26:44, putting her in the sixth slot. This coming Saturday, September 26, the Wilkes Cross Country team will be engaging in an away meet at the Susquehanna Invitational.

It was the Colonels first Middle Atlantic Conference contest. Wilkes forced Albright to punt on their openi ng drive of the ga m e. The · teams remained scoreless in the first quarter in front of a packed stadium. Wilkes punted to Alb1ight to begin the second quarter of play. Aaron Wilk recovered an Albright fumble on the Lion's 18 yar d line. Boo Perry once again ran fo r the firs t score of the game. The point afte r attempt was blocked. Albright answered with a 38 yard kickoff return to th e Colonels 47 yard line. The Colonels defense denied Albright on fourth down, and W ilkes took over on downs. Perry's 40 yard pass was tippe d by Steve Endres into Chris Ghignone's hands. An attempted two point conversion was incomplete. With 4:58 left in the half, Albright kicked a 31 yard field goal to make the score 12-3. Perry connected with Ghignone in the opening drive of the second hal f, setting up a 28 yard field goal attempt. Albright took over on downs after the snap was bobbled. Albright was unsuccessful on a 31 yard field goal on their next possesion . Early in the fourth quarter, Jay Straigis picked off an Albright pass. Albright then intercepted Perry's pass. Albright closed the gap, scoring on a 19 yard pass to Brooks. The point after attempt was good, cutting the lead to 12-10. Wilkes answered with an 11 play scoring drive . Endres caught a 12 yard pass from Perry to put the Colonels on the Lion's 3 yard line. Jason Smith burst through the line for the touchdown. Joel O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, giving the Colonels a 19-10 lead with 7 :29 left in the game. The Colonels defense · showed its true colors against Albright's attempted comeback. Chris Carr sliced his way into the Lion 's backfield on 3rd down, stopping the Lions for a loss. On fourth down and 8 with 4 :58 left in the game, Carr knifed into the backfield. recording a quarte rback sack. Albright's .last possesion of the game was once again denied by the tough Colonels defense, giving Wilkes their first MAC win in 3 years. "The defense played very well. Bob Brisk had a great game for us. It was nice to win a MAC game," said Coach DeMelfi. Jason Smith ran for over 100 yards for the second straight week. "The offensive line and fullbacks are why I ran for those yards. Our defense played awesome," said Smith. The Colonels take on Susquehanna University this Saturday on the road. Susquehanna is ranked #5 in the nation. "We're looking forward to this week. They're 2-0, and we're 2-0. It is a rivalry because our guys know their guys," added Coach DeMelfi. "This is the biggest game of the year. They're ranked 5th and we always play them well," said wide receiver Dan McClave. Defensive back Ben McKeowen admits, "it is going to be a tough game. We have to play team defense. We can't give up any big plays. We could gain a lot of respect with a win against Susquehanna." "Crowd support was good .

Booters' enthusiasm running high, tie Scranton BY MISSIE CHINCHAR Beacon Asst. Sports Editor Looking to break the tie The Wilkes men's soccer team upped its record this past week to 3-2-1 overall and 1-0-1 in the MAC Northeast. The Colonels tied in their opening conference match last W e dnesday against their biggest rivals, the Scranton Royals. The Royals went into the match feeling they were playing on a higher level than Wilkes, but the Colonels quickly put a stop to their thinking. Early in the first half, Chris Erb gave Wilkes a 1-0 lead off feeds from Russ Hiser and Mike Herb. Tri-captain Tom Nally believ es that Scranton' s attitude just made Wilkes play harder. "It was a great feeling to go up on Scranton early and watch them play catch-up," said Nally. "They (Scranton) felt as if we didn't belong on the same field as them." Scranton came back late in the second half of regulation and tied the match. The two over tim e periods were scoreless leaving the crucial MAC match in a tie. Scranton outshot Wilkes 12-7 and had a 4-3 edge in the corners. Matt Haney had 10 saves for Wilkes. The Colonels carried their enthusiasim over to Friday defeating Upsala in another double-overtime battle. , • J , Erb scored two ov goals and senior Dan got his first career goal· college ranks for the victory.

Pindzola added that, "sunlight and oxygen help to break these bonds apart."

Keeling, who is currently Director of the Department of Student Health at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, gives most of his lectures to college students. "Students have very good to excellent levels of knowledge, including highly specific information on ways the disease is transmitted and preventative measures," said Keeling. Even though they have the information, "most students do not feel personally vulnerable to HIV, " continued Keeling, "and sexually active students do not, as a rule, regularly and effectively use condoms to prevent infection." Keeling stated we need to "challenge and build community." In order to build community, we must abandon stereotypes, prejudices, and assumptions. The people of the community have to care for and support each other. As Keeling concluded, he said, "Remember them [AIDS patients] and be reminded. Rememberthosewhodied of AIDS.

Principle is an immovable force, founded upon the universal ideas of truth. Therefore, where principle is involved, no compromise can be possible. Likewise, our society rests upon an immovable force that has guided its development by providing stability, and thus, preventing the decay of our most fundamental institutions. That force is womanhood, and it's about time that we noticed. Today, more than ever before, women have the greatest opportunity for gaining cultural power in America; but, in many areas of life, that opportunity continues to be undermined. Therefore, I agree in principle with the basic premise of the Women's Studies Committee, that women have been overlooked, shunted aside, and made into nonbeings for far too long. In the book, De Omnibus Feminis, the Catholic Church questioned whether women were human. A former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. William Hammond, claimed that decent women should not feel the slightest pleasure in the act of procreation. But, thankfully, those days are where they belong .. .in the past. Or are they? As was said, this author agrees in principle with the idea of Women's Studies, but not in practice, for the courses offered in the new minor are given to fits offeminism. Even as you are reading this passage, feminism is perpetuating the oppression of individual rights by seeking unearned gains through government coercion and force. Some of the more radical feminists argue for the "men are pigs and then you marry one philosophy, that no man is in the least bit interested in women's rights. Others argue that men are not needed in society, that a society ruled by women, in which men are subordinated by law, is the way to go. Is it any wonder, then, that men are afraid, and rebel at every opportunity? Rather than buy into this lunacy, women need to invest their time and interest in an open dialogue. Granted, in some cases, mere words will not produce any results. But, those are isolated cases and are definitely in the minority. As a member of the opposite gender, I can attest to the fact that many men are more than willing to listen to and act upon the demands of women. What most of us want, in general, is a new, single, equal partner relationship that combines sexuality, affectionate friendship, mutual cooperation, productive work, and, most of all, respect for each other's ideas. But, how can this type of society come into existence if women are continually educated in the feminist school of thought by our nation's so-called institutions of higher learning? Society is basically one big relationship. It is a two-way street, requiring each gender to give 100% of itself toward helping the other adjust to the violent upheavals of the social structure. But, if Women's Studies injects our future leaders with the cancer of feminist ideology, then none of us will benefit from the positive gains made by the women's movement in the last few decades. What we need is an anti-feminist/pro-woman attitude that transcends gender barriers, an attitude of unconditional support for each other, regardless of gender. The only criteria that we should use in evaluating who gets that support should rest on the basic principles of ethics. In short, we need to amend that ola saying, "Behind every good man is a good woman," before thefoundation of our society finally gives way. ter has lit Broadway to seventy Theatreof 1 its perfon "Anythinf week-end. performanc many ways The ocean liner York to Lo ing era of ti The the produc SteveHartn left no roor develop th( s1 IN JUST ON STUDENTS or ORGANIZATIONS Promote our Florida Spring Break packages.

The story concerns an liner sailing from New to London in the glitterera of the 1930' s. The main problem with production comes from Hartman whose direction flesh and blood people. As for performances, Nancy Brown lent her wonderful singing voice to the role of nightclub singer Reno Sweeny, and Little Theatre's general manager, Judith Fried, found a role made to order in the form of Hope's mother, Mrs. Harcourt. Theatre veteran Tom Rogish was delightful as Sir Evelyn Oakleich, especially in his scenes with Mrs. Brown. Little Theatre can also be thankful for the talents of Harry and Kay McClintuck. Harry's portrayal of Wall Street boss E.J. Whitney was one of the truly well-developed characterizations in the show. Kay's acting and singing in the role of gangster's moll Bonnie was some of the show's best. Although relatively" new to local stages, Keith Edwards stole many scenes as: Moonface Martin, a gangster disguised as a minister. On the downside were performances from John Owen Kennedy and Beth Koslosky as the love interests Billy and Hope. Kennedy possesses a fine singing voice, but his acting needs some more fine tuning. Koslosky 's inexperience on stage showed as she seemed towanderthroughherrolewithout a clue as to how a heiress should act. With a little more effort and care, Director Hartman could have had himself a hit instead of just making the boat. PAGES (Concert-Cont. from page 1 ) - - - - - - - - - Connecting their music and their fans are one of the things that Chicago's lead vocalist, Jason Scheff, loves the most about being a musician. Scheff commented about the importance of" .. .being able to touch someone's life through music. It gives you a wonderful feeling when a fan comes to you and tells you that a song touched his life." Both bands agree there are no "short- cuts" in becoming a musician. "It's always better to go the few extra yards," says Moody Blues' bassist Ludge. He also added, "in the rock and roll world life can get lonely,especiallywhenyou're on the road, but you'll always have a friend as long as you have music." Chicago and the Moody Blues plan on releasing new albums next year. The Moody Blues just recorded a concert with the Chicago Symphony. The concert will be released as a live album and will also be released on home video. This album will hit the shelves in February. After this tour, Chicago will hit the recording studios and begin recording their twenty-second album "Chicago Twenty-2". There is no release date on the album at this time.

Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons Stereotyping has been around since the beginning of time, and unfortunately, has gotten worse. No matter what your skin color, people will find a category to place you in, and you may never get out. Look at athletes, or even better, those who look like athletes. If a person is taller than the average person, people automatically assume that he or she is a basketball player. If the person is of average height and well-built he may be categorized as a football player or a wrestler, when, in fact, the person may not play a sport at all. Let's say your judgement of the person's athletic ability is right on target. What about the way you view athletes in the classroom? The first comment you hear about an athlete is either that they are "dumb jocks" or "the only reason they're here is because they can play a sport." Well I can tell you that athletes have to take the same classes that everyone else does, and we have to maintain a 2.0 grade point average with at least 12 credits a semester in order to play. Now that we got that part of stereotyping out of the way, let's talk about BLACKS and WHITES. The most common stereotype is that while black athletes can run faster and jump higher than white athletes, white athletes are smarter than black athletes. WRONG!!! It's time that we wake up and realize that it doesn't matter what color your skin is. That's not what makes you a better athlete, or for that matter, a better human being. It is what is inside the person that matters. There is so much hate in this world that we don't need stupidness like this to enter our campus, and put us at odds with one another. Since the incidents that have taken place on or around Wilkes, there has been much talk about the increase in racial tension among students. In last week's edition of the paper, there were several articles which dealt with some of our black student's feelings. You may be right in your judgement that some students are now afraid of you or your being looked at in a different way. The people who are doing this to you are idiots or maybe not used to being around a black person. To those students you can say that your sorry for their narrow-mindedness or their pure stupidity. However, what you are saying is that the white students are stereotyping, but you are also stereotyping them when you say things like what was printed last week. I'm not sure there is a way to solve the problem of stereotyping, but we can try to put an end to it here at Wilkes and if we can do that, then the whole world may wake up and realize that if a bunch of kids did it , they can do it too. Let's make an effort to get along with each other before it's to late. No cheers, no jeers until we all grow up and realize that we are all the same,no matter what our skin color is, and like it or not we have to live together. Colonels football is for real BY BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer The Colonels gave Susquehanna a scare last Saturday, only losing by a score of 7-6. Susquehanna is ranked fifth in the nation. Both the Colonels and Susquehanna were undefeated going into the contest. The Colonels may have lost the game, but they won the respect of the whole . league. "It was a disappointing loss, but we can't let it pull us down. We must continue to play well," commented coach Joe DeMelfi. Wilkes and the Crusaders played to a scoreless first half. Gene Conselyea scored on a two yard pass from Boo Perry to take a 6-0 lead. The point after attempt was blocked. Susquehanna scored on the next drive to tie the score at 66. The point after attempt made the score 7-6. Both teams had chances to add to their point totals. A Wilkes field goal attempt to take the lead was blocked. Ben McKeown made a touchdown saving tackle on the Colonels five yard line. On fourth down and goal, Mckeown stopped a quarter back sweep that would have given the Crusaders the lead. "Defensively it was a great game," said coach DeMelfi. Mark Buss earned ECAC co-player of the week honors for his defensive play. "Our goal line stands gave us momentum. They're supposed to be a big, physical team, but we stood toe to toe with them and stopped them," added McKeown. ~ "Vfe stepped it up on the goal line and stuck them pretty good. Mark Buss and Larry Trakes played great games," admitted linebacker John Quinn. The Colonel~ prov~d that they can play with nat10nally ranked teams. Wilkes is now a team to beat in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). The _Colonels are on ~he road this Saturday playmg Moravian College. "I have a lot of respect for their coach. We must play them tough. We will see what kind of character we have coming off of a tough loss. There is no doubt in my mind Team Improvement BY NICOLE SIMMONS Beacon Staff Writer Despite the weather this past Saturday, the cross country team participated in the Susquehanna Invitational, where they finished seventh out of ten teams. "We're improving as the weeks go by," said coach Tim Tyson. Once again, sophomore Jeff Crahalla crossed the finish line first for the Colonels. Crahalla's time was 30: 12 which allowed him to take thirty-sixth place out of a field of seventy-nine runners. Brad Smith moved up a notch to place second this week with a time of 32:16 after a third place showing last week in Doylestown. The remaining barriers for the Colonels were Jim Robinson, 32:36, Rich Bonning 33:01, and Louis Marnell, 39:09. For the Lady Colonels, Sheila Bubba crossed the line first, giving her fourty-ninth place out of seventy, with a time of 25:07. Mary Kusiak was fiftyninth with a time of 27: 15 and Suzanne Stanski placed sixtysecond with a time of 27:28.

"It's time to go back to work, it's time to have some fun," Johnson said. "I think the positives outweigh the risks. That's not saying there are no risks, because life itself is a risk. But being there, I won't be worried about that. If I was concerned about that, I'd still be retired." The mood this time was decidedly different from the retirement announcement 327 days ago. This time, Johnson frequently laughed and joked with his wife and reporters, flashing his famous trademark smile. "This is a lot more relaxed ... better," said Johnson, showing the bulk of an added 15 pounds he gained through rigorous weight-training. "It was much tougher then because I was having to say I !goodbye." I Johnson's wife, Cookie, said she was behind his decision to return "totally ... 100 percent." Since Johnson announced his retirement, there had been a steady stream of speculation and controversy about his future, mixed with his triumphant appearances in the NBA All-Star Game in February and the Olympics this summer. It was that success and the lack of additional medical problems that convinced Johnson to return. .

And with due respect. Since last week, the Colonels have improved their record to 5-2-1 and more importantly 3-0-1 in the MAC. On Saturday , senior Paul Jellen lead the Colonels into one of their toughest conference battles against FDU-Madison by scoring three of Wilkes' five goals en ro ute to a 5-1 victory. Mike Herb scored two goals as well for the blue and gold. Matt Haney and Chris Mervine spent time in goal for the Colonels. "It was an impressive win over FDU ," said Wingert. "We just have to take our momentum (with us) in order to compete with the upper level of competition we're going to face." And the Colonels did just that on Monday when they stomped cross-town rival King's off Ralston Field with a 4-1 victory. Once again it was Jellen, the all-time leading scorer at Wilkes, who lead the offensive attack scoring all four goals. Mike Herb set up Jellen early in the first half for the easy goal. Just a few minutes later Jellen received a penalty kick that drove home the •point that the Colonels were in control. The second half was filled with just as much intensity with Russ Hiser getting the assist off of Jellen's third goal. The fourth and final goal came off anoth er penalty shot for Jellen. After this week's play, Jellen has compiled ten goals on the season and an overall Colonel of the W~ek Today Wilkes travels to meet with Millersville University, a powerful Division II threat. "It will be a good test for us," said Wingert. This is true considering that Wilkes' only two losses came at the hands of two nationally ranked teams. Wilkes is still in the driver's seat in the MAC Northeast with their 3-0-1 record, but they still have two conference matches to prove themseleves worthy of NCAA competition. "Right now we areone of nine schools being focused on for NCAA playoffs," said Wingert. " We have beaten every team we projected we would, but we have to upset some teams in order to get noticed." The Colonels will not be home again until Friday, October 9, when they will meet Moravian.

Beacon Staff Writer Senior forward Paul Jellen, out of Q~1.akertown,Pa., shows why he is the Colonels All-Time Leading Scorer, with his seven goals in two games. continue The Wilkes University field hockey team won two out of three last week and increased their record to 6-3 for the season. F.D.U-Madison brought rain with them to Ralston Field last Tu esday, but received thunder and lightning as the Lady Colonels spanked the Jersey Devils 4-1. Toni Farinella and Kim Kaskel each scored twice, as Wilkes showed great ball movement and pressure defense all over the field. Coach Malatesta was pleased with the team effort. "We connected on a number of passing plays in the game. Our forwards controlled the ball beautifully and it gave our defenders time to set up and stop the F.D.U attack," said Malatesta. On a three game winning streak, the Lady Colonels were on the road last counterpart Lebanon Valley. Wilkes started the scoring at 20:58 of the first half when Kaskel found Farinella on a crossing play. Lebanon Valley came right back five minutes later to tie the score at a goal apiece. Sweeper Angie Polny put Wilkes out in front once again (2-1) on a penalty stroke early in the second half, but again Lebanon Valley responded to tie the score at two. With under 20 minutes to go, the Lady Colonels had the wind taken out of their sails when a goal was negated on an advancing call. Lebanon Vall ey , an experienced team, including eight returnees from the regional team of 1991, sensed frustration in Wilkes and opened the game up scoring three goals within the next thirteen minutes. Not giving up, Wilkes ended the scoring when Stephanie Hastings drilled a shot from fifteen yards out 5-3. After beating F.D.UMadison, and pl a yin Lebanon Valley tough, the Lady Colonels received th num ber 9 ranking in the· NCAA Division III region poll. Wilkes then travellec t Delaware Valley Colleg Saturday where 11,ey faced number 10 ranked team in region. The Lady Col one jumped all over the Aggi scoring three goals in t game's first two minute Kaskel, and Theresa Hav each sC't>red on unassisted yard breakaways, and Justi Nemshick scored off assist from Hastings.

Renovations to the salon are just the first phase of the project, however, the entrance hall and parlor are next on the list for renovations.

Do you feel, or even see a need for your input in the Wilkes community? Do you complain about things that go wrong or that don't happen at Wilkes? Do you actively take part in any activity, club, or organization on campus? Do you believe that you will find employment upon graduation, without participating in any activities during your college career? If you answered any of these questions then read en. There is so much apathy on the part of students at Wilkes that it's sickening. I have come to the conclusion that many of you don't realize the importance of extracurricular activities during your years in college. Employers look at college graduates who have displayed multiple talents and abilities while in college. They also look at graduates who have displayed leadership skills. Leadership skills that have been exemplified as an organizer of a club activity, or president of a club, or founder of a club or group, or even participating in your college newspaper. Your college newspaper is the vessel which you have so that your voice can be heard over the entire campus. College newspapers are set up as a tool for students who have an interest in writing, reading, photography, public relations, and even advertising. The college newspaper is looked upon by prospective employers in just about every career field. Students who have participated in the college newspaper circuit are considered to be leaders in their prospective college communities and sometimes are considered positive motivating forces in the working world. The college newspaper participant can take his/ her skills and put them to_ work at any place of business, industry, or company. The benefits of working hard on a college newspaper now will undoubtedly pay off in your immediate future. But, do any of you care. No, I don'! think so. The Beacon staff and editors have continually made efforts to get more students involved with the newspaper, but have any of you come to join the staff. No. We are sure that many students at Wilkes have had experience in journalism while in high school. Have you come out to join the staff. No. The Beacon staff is not an elitist group. We all are students too, just like you. But, who cares.

A seemingly harmless word. Yet, many of the people who spe against it on this campus have been quickly silenced. Why? The answer is simple: if people only hear the other side of the story, multiculturalism on Wilkes' campus would cease to The underlying philosophy of multicultutalism is "that America is not a nation of indivi but a nation of groups, that ethnicity is the defining experience for most Americans, that ties are permanent and indelible, and that division into ethnic communities establishes the structure of American society and the basic meaning of American history." It should be uzerne Courn that this definition does not come from a half-crazed columnist, but from Arthur M.

We really owe a lot of our success to them." After the Moody Blues finished their set, Chicago took the stage. The band, as always, was full of energy and vibrance. Chicago opened up their concert with such favorites as "Color My World," "You're My Inspiration," and "Hard Habit to Break." The whole concert was full of the band's number one hits. Politics even entered into the picture when Chicago's lead singer Jason Scheff encouraged the crowd to "rock the vote." Like many other musicians, he told the crowd that it was important to vote in elections if they wanted to see a change. , The Moody Blues rock their guitars during a solo. The crowd's energy added to the success of the concert Even those who weren't diehard fans of the two groups enjoyed themselves. "I didn't know a lot of their i;ongs, but I thought they were really great," said Cindy Chametski, a senior at Wyoming Valley West High School, after the concert. · Both bands played their hearts out at the concert.

Both of New York City, these guys seemed a little too crude and lewd for my taste. Burke seemed incapable of telling any jokes at all without using the f-word. When not bellowing profanities into the mike, he belittled both women and crippled people. What a guy! His amazing resemblance to the late Elvis Presley was funnier than anything that came out of his mouth. The only comedy (and I use the word loosely) I might have heard that night came from Gary Valentine. His asthma and laughing gas jokes were admittedly good. As for the rest of his performance, it was not much better than I would like to res Although I genuin students; I did find .

R.E.M. puts some changes in their music BY WENDY ZEWE Beacon Staff Writer According to the October 1 edition of Rolling Stone Magazine, R.E.M.'s new LP, Automatic for the People, is a collection of some of their "weirdest songs." Fans of the group should not expect a completely rock-n-roll sound when the album is released on October 6. Automatic of the People changes the emphasis of REM's style. Before, as in the group's OutofTime, the band's sound focused on "shiny, happy melodies." This new album has a more Southern Gothic style to it. "Drive," the first single of the new album, appeared on MTV a few weeks ago. Fans were surprised by the style change, but not as surprised as the band members themselves. Other songs included on this new take by R.E.M. are "Try Not to Breathe," "Ignoreland," and "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight.." While this new album might be a change from what you' re used to, fans don't have to worry that R.E.M. has lost theirtou With Michael Stipe' s bello ing voice and the use of strin this R.E.M. release should go the top of the charts.

Clarinetists Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern will perform their critically-acclaimed Summit Reunion program on Monday, October 19th in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Bob Wilber, who serves as Director of Jazz Studies at Wilkes, began his career in 1947, debuting with the legendary Sidney Bechet. Since that time, he has played with other jazz greats, such as Eddie Condon, Benny Goodman and Bobby Hackett. Joining Bob Wilber is longtime associate and musical soulmate Kenny Davern. Although both of these artists has had a brilliant career independent of one another, many believe they are at their best when I performing together. B ob Wilber and Kenny Davern have a healthy respect for past traditions and are among the finest interpreters of jazz in all of its forms, especially from the ereative early days of the 1920's and 1930's. Wilber and Davern formalized their collaborations and organized Soprano Summit. The first band was assembled for an historic recording session and featured Dick Hyman on piano, Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar, Milt Hinton on bass, and Bobby Rosengarden on drums, along with the leaders on clarinet and soprano saxophone. The band performing at Jazz at Wilkes on October 19th is known as Summit Reunion and maintains generally the same instrumentation as the first band, but with their own style and sound. With Mark Shane on piano and Greg Cohen on bass, Summit Reunion give fresh in- Wright named director of thea terpretations to ageless music. Organized in 1982 under the direction of Bob Wilber, Jass at Wilkes has shown exceptional growth and popularity as a unique jazz venue for Northeastern Pennsylvania and the United States. The 1992-1993 series, supported, in part, by private subscriptions, will feature some of today's finest performers on the jazz horizon. The next performance in the series will feature the Al Grey Sextet on November 30. Tickets are $4 general admission. Wilkes University students will be admitted free with an I.D. card. Senior citizens are asked to make a donation. For reserved seating and more information on Jazz at Wilkes, call the Wilkes University Department of Music, Theatre and Dance at 8314420. Theater-goers at Wilkes University may have noticed a new face running around at the CPA. The face belongs to Brad Wright, the newly-appointed Associate Professor and Director of Theater at Wilkes. Dr. Wright carries on the long tradition of excellence in theater at Wilkes established through the tenures of former faculty members Klaus Holmes, Al Groh, and Michael O'Neill. The theater program at Wilkes has grown significantly in past years. With this growth, Wright hopes to re-evaluate the curriculum and add additional faculty to the program. One of the upcoming projects for Theater majors is the establishment of a Black Box Theater. This will enable the students to generate additional programs and productions in an alternate space and expand the theater season at Wilkes University.

For all of you sports fans, please think about my advice - go out and support the Lady Colonels as well as the Colonels and see what you're missing. And somehow we can do our own part in the battle for equality in sports.

Franklin St., W-B Wf 71 7-824-3090 W l WE DELIVER!! / GO Get 'em Colonels I �P AGE OCTOBE R 10 1 ' Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons What month is this? Doesri't something really fun usually go on this weekend? We all know the answers to those questions. The month is October and about the weekend, it's time for Miami to take on Penn State. Well, your absolutely right about the month, but about the weekend, this is Wilkes not Miami or Penn State. It's homecoming weekend here at Wilkes once again and as usual everyone is gearing up for the weekend. Let's talk a little about the homecoming weekend and what should and shouldn't go on. First of all, everyone should have a good time, no a ~reat time. Sec~nd, everyone should, while having a great tu~e, be responsible for their actions. If someone is acting a little too obnoxious, take charge of the situation and help him or her calm down. Third, everyone should go out and support all of our sports teams as they return to action at home after a few weeks of travel. Now for the benefit of those of you who don't yet know the answer to this next question, let me ask will there be any partying going on this weekend? The answer is, to no surprise, YES!!! While at these parties, conversations will take place between old friends and new ones, music will be played, singing will enter the picture at some point, dancing will occur, and possibly some consumption of some kind will be present. Now for those of you out there who went nuts when you read the column about tailgating, don't take a heart attack yet just because the word 'drinking' was mentioned. Nowhere is it said in this column, or for that matter in the tailgating column, that this writer condones drinking. But this is a college and there are college students here. I don't know if you're aware of this, but drinking does take place on not only this campus, but campuses across the country. What this column is about, for those of you who need everything spelled out, is having fu n, but at the same time being responsible. Don't get hurt or hurt someone els~ because you were feeling "pretty good." Once again I say be responsible and have a good time but allow the people around you to enjoy themselves as well. This time it would be appreciated that those of you out there who still can't comprehend what I mean in this column to respond. Respond to me, don't walk around complaining to everyone else. They didn't write this, I did. What I'm trying to say is this time either PUT UP or SHUT UP!!! !!! Oh yes, to those of you who question what I write, let me set you straight. When I write something it is the way I fee l about a partic ular issue, the way I was brought up and certainly, what I believe in my heart. Now if there is any more doubt out there, please feel free to write me a - letter and we'll face of one on one. If you don't choose that way, then BACK OFF!!! To the students, once again have fun, go out and cheer our teams to victory and please be RESPONSIBLE, not only for yourself but, for those around you. Let'_s all have a great time at homecoming and have something to cheer about, not only on the playing field, but about the way we act this weekend. ********************************************** There will be a mandatory meeting Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. in the.Beacon office for the current sports staff and anyone who wishes to join our team. The meeting will be as brief as possible. . . ... 8, 1992 Harriers down Drew, King NICOLE SIMMONS Beacon Staff Writer As expected, the Wilkes University Cross Country team was triumphant over Drew University and King's College this past weekend. While the Colonel team beat King's 17-40 and Drew 28-29, they suffered a loss at the hands of Albright 15-50. Coach Tim Tyson felt that even though this was the first home meet, the runners' times were slower than he expected on what he says is a "fast course." "The members of the team are consistently running in a good group, but they need to move closer to the lead," added Tyson.

The first half alone, saw Wilkes in Mansfield's defensive third of the field for 22 out of the 35 minutes. Frustration built as the Lady Colonels were held in check and forced to sudden-death overtime. Wilkes made quick work of Mansfield in OT scoring just two minutes into the period. Two key passes led to the goal for Wilkes. Bui fed Nemshick, who then found Kim Kaskel who beat the keeper and gave the Ladies the win. "The pass from Nemshick to Kaskel split the two deep defenders and Kim had the goalkeeper one on one about 12 yards out. One dodge, and the ball was rolling over the goal line. The team_ was thrilled to see the ball fmally get past the keeper and their hard work pay off," said Malatesta.

Last Thursday the Colonels came up short against Millersville and lost 1-0 on a freak goal. Senior Tom Nally believes that the team had trouble putting together a good play. "There were a lot of people th.:.t played well individually, but we didn't play together as a team," said Nally. The entire match was a battle on both sides of the field with goalie Matt Haney saving numerous goal attempts for Wilkes. On Sunday the Colonels regained their team unity against Lycoming and shut out the Warriors 2-0. Both goals came off corner kicks in the first half by Chris Erb. Midway thru the first half Erb set up Nally for his first goal of the season. The defense then took over until Wilkes moved into scoring range. Erb got another cornerkick to set up Mike Herb before the end of the first half. The second half had the Colonel defense controlling Lycoming up and down the field. Nally credited the win to excellent scouting reports by the coaching staff. "We knew they'd go to the corners a lot so we had an edge on them going into the match," said Nally.

While the results of the vote do not constitute a public decision, the closeness of the national elections (together with the clear difference in candidate positions on this issue) can lend some considerable importance to the results. The organization director is Dr. Alexander B. Gavin. The organization includes experts on a range of policy issues and on research methodology. Funding for the project has been by private investment; no contributions are sought. The organization does not seek public funds and maintains absolute political/ideological neutrality in the referendums. Its goal is to keep referendum publicity and voting costs as low as possible and to cover these costs via proceeds of the vote. In Dr. Galvin's words, "We think this kind of electronic vote is the harbinger of things to come. Political leaders can tally constituent's opinions on many topics using the existing technology. It is less costly than going to the polls and it's easier. We hope everyone who has any interest in this topic will vote."

Mr. Pikulski is an author and recognized national consultant in the language arts. The theme for Project LEARN II is "Building Educational Communities: Uniting Forces for the Next Journey." The objectives include: bringing people together to improve student learning though new approaches in teaching, including those provided by new technology; addressing issues of national significance as they pertain to our regional situation; bringing teachers and administrators together to discuss common challenges in teaching; motivating educators and learners and building a working partnership between schools and higher education; promoting a partnership among educators, parents, business, and industry to strengthen education. �The Scent In the Wind Multiculturalism Is Necessary Multiculturalism is not something that "will destroy the United States as we know it," as Beacon columnist Al , Mueller wrote in last weeks issue. Many students on campus have asked me, "Why would I allow something like that to go to print?" The answer to that question is simply it's his own opinion. Mueller has the right to his opinion. However, this newspaper's editor does not and will not endorse or promote the views of any of its writers that have not logically thought out the subject that they have chosen to write about, but, will print it. The reason is every columnist is entitled to his own opinion, because of the First Amendment and it's inclusion of "freedom of speech." The direction that education is taking towards a multicultural curricula is definitely a good one. The children of today, tomorrow, and yesterday need to know the differences that exist among us. Citizens of the United States all are different. Not many of us refer to ourselves as a "true-blue" Americans. We are either an Italian-American, an African-American, a PolishAmerican, an Irish-American; I have yet to hear anyone say that they are just an American. How Mueller can come up with the brilliant deduction that multiculturalism "diverts attention from the real needs of society by exaggerating differences ... " is beyond mine and a great many others comprehension. The history that has been taught to the children has been "white-washed" by the dominant male European-American. it is about time that schools systems across the board are willing to open their classrooms to a multicultural curriculum. The efforts being made in Project LEARN II are long overdue. Malcolm X was quoted as saying, "I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street." What Malcolm said should have been taken to heart by many Americans long ago, but it has just sprung into the minds of many that realizing, understanding and appreciating each other's differences as unique entities in our country is of importance. I have asked myself, and I'm sure many others have asked themselves the same, "Was Al's column in the October 8th issue one of good-will or one of a wolf in sheep's clothing?" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have answered this question saying, " Shall?w understanding ~rom_ p~ople of good-will is more frustrating from people of ill-will. Editor's Note: Due to Fall recess, the next issue of The Beacon will be distributed on Wednesday, October 21st. by Al Mueller Over the last several weeks, this column has featured some very controversial topics, and has presented ideas that are definitely not in the mainstream. Many students and faculty members suggested that the columns are a breath of fresh air because they don't follow the same old administration line. If there's anything that can be said about me, and still be printed, it is that I am certainly not a "yes man." It is nonetheless disturbing that the basic idea of the last several columns is not in the mainstream. For the basic idea was: how do we get Wilkes to improve its image? The answer is: we change it. Wilkes has finally placed a competent marketing person in a position to make the University into a marketable product. However, Dr. Ann Batory' s efforts will be in vain unless the faculty members and students pitch in. From what several faculty members have told me, in the 1970's, recruiting at Wilkes was performed by the students. But, look around you know. Wilkes has, simply put, a disgustingly apathetic student body. If it doesn't involve drinking, drugs, sex, sports, or violence, they don't care. While this may not be true in all cases, the majority of students do hold this view, and the image they cast for Wilkes drags the rest of us down with it. Students need to take back theiri If they do, then we won't have any more plaints about people urinating from balco about high withdrawal rates, or about I academic standards, all of which were issues throughout the last few years. On the other hand, the faculty need to grade their image, too. It used to be the case, still is to a large extent, that faculty mem would listen to opposing views. Now, all has changed. Issues on feminism, abortion, 1992 election, and even multiculturalism taboo. In some cases, such basic things as I seems more intuitive are off-limits to deb only wish that we undergraduates have positive knowledge of right and wrong whe make our marks on society. It is not my in however, to suggest that all professors act way, as the majority do not. But, as is the with students, those that do drag down image of all faculty members. What Wilkes needs is a fundamental· overhaul, one that starts at the bottom and top. It is essential that we all do our part in venture, and it is equally essential that we this project now. It's time to stop puttin until tomorrow what we need to do today cause, if this false image continues, there not be many more tomorrows remaining.

This quote is taken from the editorial section of the October 8, 1992 edition of the Beacon, and penned by a "concerned student." If you are so concerned, why did you withhold your name from publication? I am glad this mystery person does not pretend to know how to run a security department, because he/ she does not have a clue! Law enforcement agencies (and for the sake of arguement, I will include campus security departments) cannot just recklessly divulge crucial investigative information (your so-called facts) to please the public; that is carelessly performed by the news media. Police agencies have very valid and logical reasons to withhold certain facts some of which include: their responsibility not to overtly alarm the public; investigative leads (information) which could assist in solving the particular crime, but would hinder their efforts if released; and information which has not been fully developed or substantiated. These are just to name a few. You need to rember that this campus is not and should not be some type of fortress. Also keep in mind that these attackers have just as much access to television, local news publications and yes, even our campus newspaper. You are a fool to think that these individuals cannotjust walk into Stark or anywhere else the Beacon is placed, and pick-up a copy. By releasing everything about these assaults or any crime for that matter could jeopardize investigations. So how about waking up to the real world. Your female classmate who suggested the recruitment of football players to provide security escorts is in the dark as much as you are. I do not deny that the use of large persons such as football players can be an effective visual deterrent, however, it takes more than size in most instances. If you look at the average police officer in this country, he is somewhere around five feet nine inches and 170 pounds. That is roughly the size of the average male according to statistics. An individual's mental and physical conditioning, common sense, and in the case of a police officer, his tactical training are more important than size. Oh yeh, self-esteem, and self-confidence (not to be confused with being egotistical) also help. I admit that I do not know what type of training our campus security receives, but then again, I do not call them for security escorts. Maybe it would be a good idea if you went and found out for yourself before criticizing them and their efforts to safely protect the campus population. And if you are still not satisfied after that, you can go out and hire your own personal bodyguard(s) to make you feel safe just like movie stars do. Bill Boyer Dear Editor: Isn't it time someone called a spade a spade? In response to Al Mueller's "Scent in the Wind" column in The Beacon's premier issue, I would like to point out several discrepancies between the professed "mission" of Commuter Council and the ulterior motives of its members. The biggest misconception is that CC exists to serve the students. Wrong. The point system of assigning parking spots is little more than a disguise of fairness. Commuter Council explicitly states in their policy that "active members" receive spots first (and the fairness of this can be questioned, as in how active can certain freshman be?); what they do not state is that these socalled "active members" then take care of the members by proxy. That is, it is no secret that CC members tell their friends what to write on their parking permit application so that they will have enough "points" to gamer the coveted permit. The current administration of CC, the so called "hope for EE THE ORIGINAL 'PSYCHO' NCUT!THE TV change" (more like a "HA! no change"), is most responsible for the perpetration of this nonsense. Last semester, the spring of my junior year, I was in dire needs of a permit. I worked in an internship 15 hours a week off campus; took 15 credits of classes; worked an on campus job; and was involved in several campus activities. Yet I was denied a permit while underclassmen wiU1 considerably less need enjoyed the convenience of one. I questioned Rebecca Steinberger, former president of the CC and probably the last honest member, for an explanation. She couldn't give me one. Why not you ask? Because CC divided up the permits when they knew she'd be out of town, that's why. Other members assured her, of course, that all was done fairly. Of course, it was done fairly. Behind Rebecca's back and between the wool that CC has pulled over every commuter's eyes. What a revelation- it was done by the "point" system! The administration of this school should seriously consider rebuking the privilege of having students de- · cide who gets a parking permit. Let's face it, the L.A. cops couldn't beat the system this well. The members of Commuter Council are so used to guaranteeing themselves and their friends parking spots that they are out of touch with the real commuter who must race to class after work, hunt for a spot on the street and then hike back four blocks. the rest of the commuter population should take it upon themselves to see that these undeserving permit recipients do find out. Melanie O'Donnell I am writing to you with a heartfelt complaint. I am a female student here at Wilkes who is currently taking Math 101 (Algebra). My complaint is this: the professor instructing the course isn't performing his job adequately in my opinion and in the opinions of other students in his class. The students in this class (including myselO spent approximately 50 dollars on a Finite Mathematics book that we do not use. We rely on the choppy,hard-to-understandnotesand definitions that he gives in class. Therefore, we have nothing to refer back to when in trouble. If we don't understand something, we are told to "see him in his office." Personally, I made an appointment with him and when I arrived, my private conference was attended by three bystanders. Not only did he not offer me any help, but he proceeded to berate and belittle me in front of these strangers saying I was "hopeless," "helpless," and my efforts are "useless." This is completely unfair. I came for help, not insults. We are also constantly told to go to tutors to learn what's going on in class. Nearly all of the students in this class are seeing tutors just to go over the classwork. Is it possible that class periods are no longer adequate for students to learn even the simplest material?

Halloween haunts Kirby Hall again BY JEFF SCHULMAN Beacon Staff Writer Wilkes University's first versity Mixer was held October 11, from 6:30 to 9 The Mixer was held and was sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association (LGBA) of Wilkes in honor of national "Coming Out Day." This is a day appointed for all people who hide their homosexual preference to come out and be free. According to the LGBA, it was attendedby people representing a blend of different cultures, races, sexual preferences, and various faiths. Everyone let their hair down for a little while and came together for the sole purpose of having fun. It was an evening of dancing, diverse music and food, and an interesting light show. The dance floor was never empty with the different kinds of dancing. A "Halloween Execution" of readings of the macabre and unusual will be held on Friday, October 30, at 8:00 p.m. in the lobby of Kirby Hall. The event was resurrected after the success of last year's reading. English department faculty will present their renditions of spooky stories and poems. Heidi Hojnowski, student coordinator of the event, stated, "The remarkable response last year came as a pleasant surprise to us. With the continued interest of the faculty and students, we hope to make this year's reading even better." The event will last approximately one hour, with refreshments served afterwards. If you would like more information or would like to help, drop by the writing lab in the back of Kirby Hall. �PAGES O CTOBER 15, 1992 Biology lecture scheduled for tonight Faith No More roe The Wilkes University Biology Department will host a lecture by Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld, Department of Physiology Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA.

The alumni took the next two spots in the race. They were Ed Eppler and Roger Davis. Eppler came in second with a time of 30:28. Davis followed with 31:37. Coach Tyson said that two of the top Wilkes' cross country team members were unavailable to run in the race, which may have caused a different turnout in the results of the race. The rest of the race slots were filled by the present members of the cross country team. Coming in fourth place was Jim Robinson with a time of 31:51. Rich Bonning was next in fifth with 36:04. Louis Marnell came in sixth with a time of 36:30 and Dave Hines, seventh in 42:38. Tyson noted that he was happy that Robinson and Marnell had improved their times over last week's meet against Albright, Drew. and Kings. Robinson reduced his time by 52 seconds, while Marnell reduced his time by 2:74. When questioned about the upcoming Allentown Invitational, Tyson said, "It will be a competitive race because it is the same course the NCAA championships run on." The NCAA regionals is the next step after the MAC championship. The Allentown Invitational will be held this weekend, Saturday, October 17, at 11:15 a.m. lightly. We match up well against them." Quarterback Perry said, "It will be good to get the win this week so people don't think we're a fluke ." The Colonels are halfway through their season. Injuries have hurt the Colonels. They have lost Bob Bush and Mark :Buss, two key players on defense. : Jason Smith is now the :leading rusher in the Middle .Atlantic Conference. He earned player of the game honors this past week. He also rushed over 100 yards ,for tbe fifth consecutive game.

Breiseth. Members of the newly created hall are Joe Wiendl, Sandy Bloomberg, Marv Antinnes, Len Batroney, John Carr, Ted Yeager, Jim Ferris, George Ralston and Art Hoover. The nine will be enshrined into the Wilkes Hall of Fame on May 1, 1993 at a banquet in their honor at the Marts Sports and Conference Center. Wiendl, a 1969 graduate, was a three sport star for the Colonels and is still the only 12time letterwinner in Wilkes' sports history and three time Athlete of the Year. Wiendl starred on the gridiron becoming a two time All-American and ECAC All-Star, and a three time MAC All-Star. Wiendl was a big part of the "Golden Years" at Wilkes helping the Colonels to 32 straight wins and two Lambert Bowls, symbolic of Eastern College Division III football supremacy. On the wrestling mats Wiendl was a four time AllAmerican and a two time National champion compiling a mark of 49-1 for his career. On the baseball diamond Wiendl was a MAC All-Star hitting over .300. Currently Wiendl is a sales representative for Ingersall- Rand in California. Bloomberg, a 1971 graduate, is perhaps the greatest female athlete ever at Wilkes. Participating in both basketball and field hockey, the only two varsity sports for women at the time, Bloomberg was a seven time letterwinner. Three times she was named the Wilkes Female Athlete of the Year, MVP of the basketball team, and defensive MVP of the field hockey team. After graduating from Wilkes, Bloomberg was the first coach for the women's tennis team, guiding the team to three Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association titles. As head coach of the women's basketball team she guided the team to a then record 12 wins in 1978. Currently Bloomberg, a PhD., is the acting dean of the College of Health Related Professions at the State University of New York Center at Brooklyn. Antinnes, a 1961 graduate, was a star on both football field and wrestling mats for the Colonels twice earning Male Athlete of the Year Honors. On the field Antinneswasastarrunningback with 997 yards gained in three years of varsity play. He is currently 11th on the all-time Wilkes' rushing list. O n the wrestling mats Antinnes com p iled a 35-1 record, was an NAIA National champion in 1961, and a three time MAC champion. During Antinnes' three years of wrestling Wilkes as a team was 34-1-1. Antinnes is currently athle tic director and head football coach at Wyoming Seminary Prep School in Kingston. LenBatroney,a1954graduate, was a star for Wilkes in early 1950's on both the basketball court and the baseball diamond. The 1954 Male Athlete of the Year, Batroney scored 1629pointsinhiscareer,amark that stood as the best all-time at Wilkes until 1989. On the baseball diamond Batroney was a starter at second base and later went on to play in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system. Now retired, Batroney is a former teacher and athletic director in the Michigan school system. John Carr, a 1966 graduate, was one of the top wrestlers of all-time for coach John Reese. Carr was a two time NCAA College Division champion, a Division I All-American, and a two time MAC champion. Carr finished his career as the only unbeaten wrestler in Wilkes' dual meet history with a record of 15-0. Carr has since gone on to teach at Hanover Area High School and was head wrestling coach. Carr guided his team to several District championships. Ted Yeager, a 1972 graduate, holds IOWilkesfootballrecords compiled a record of 41-31 including most yards rushing ·while in basketball he was 1 in a career, 2869 yards; most 109, and 24-16 in baseball. yards rushing in a season, 952; Through Ralston's lea most points scored in a game, ship Wilkes soon expanded 24; most points in a career, 158; sports offered to Wilkes and most touchdowns in a ca- dents with the addition of w reer, 26.

Last Wednesday, the Lady Colonels started a three game h ome stand greeting , Lycoming College with a 3-2 defeat. All five goals were scored in the first half of play. Lycoming got on the board first when Betty Jacobs found Tammy Babiash at the 25:25 mark. Five minutes later , Kim Kaskel scored on a breakaway to even the score at a goal apiece. Just 14 seconds after Lycoming took the lead again, great ball movement between Justine Nemshick, Kaskel, and Toni Farinella produced the equalizer at 11:49. Farinella scored again when she deflected a long pass from Ali Adamiak past the keeper to record the game winner. Two days later, Wilkes played host to the Lady Greyhounds of Moravian College. Moravian came to Ralston Field ranked number seven in the Pennsylvania region with an impressive 9-2 record. The 1992 field hockey team has reason to smile. At 25: 17 of the first half, Moravian out in front 1-0. Wilk es' keeper Julie Wilkes fired back with a Crawford was whistled for Nemshick goal assisted by "giving direction to an aerial Farinella at 21:55 to tie things ball," according to coach at 1-1. This proved to be the Addy Malatesta and the Lady final goal of the half. Greyhounds were awarded a Time was halted 18 penalty stroke. Tanya Thear minutes into the second half took full advantage and put - when Wilkes' sweeper Angie Polny was hit in the head with a Moravian stick on an errant swing. There was a lengthy delay as Polny was treated and taken to the hospital. "During the delay when Angie went down injured, it was a very emotional time for our team. We were able to regroup and even team play to anoth said Malatesta. Playing inspired the Lady Colonels deep and manufa winning goal.

The Colonels shutout Delaware Valley 1-0 last Wednesday and managed a 1-1 tie with Moravian on Friday. Junior forward Dave Unzicker believes the team was not expecting the Aggies to be tough competition. "Del Val was a lot tougher than we expected and their team is playing pretty well this season," said Unzicker. "I think we took them a little too lightly. II In both matches, freshman · Russ Hiser scored the only two goals for Wilkes. After this week's performance, Hiser moved into third place on the team in scoring with three goals and six assists. Matt Haney once again had a strong performance in goal for the Colonels. The shutout against Delaware Valley was his fourth of the . season and his twelfth career shutout. On the season, Haney has allowed only eight goals in 1050 minutes giving him a goal agans average of 0. 69. On Tuesday the Colonels had a tough 3-2 loss to Elizabethtown who is ranked fifth in the nation and first in the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference). According to Unzicker, the team got off to a shaky start. "We didn't start putting things together until late in the first half," said Unzicker. Paul Jellen scored at the 33 :50 mark off an assist from Mike Herb. But, Elizabethtown tied the match at one apiece before the half. Jellen scored again off of Dean Kontometros and Hiser to put Wilkes ahead. Once again the Blue Jays tied the match. Late in the match, Wilkes lost a disputed handball goal which proved to be the decisive spoiler. "In the second half, E-Town dominated and we ended up having to scramble a lot," said Unzicker. Jellen continues to lead the team in scoring with 10 goals and two assists. Herb is second on the team with four goals and two assists. The Colonels next match will be home on Saturday, October 17 against Bloomsburg. Next Tuesday will be the MAC NE showdown with Drew University, but the team is trying to not look ahead. "We want to control our own destiny this season and concentrate on each match," stated Unzicker. If the boaters match with Drew, it the first time in history that the te crowned the champions.

The team finished third place overall out of a field of 11 schools. While in West Virginia, the team also had time for a short visit to historic Harper's Ferry, where John Brown, a slave, took the town' s firehouse in a last ditch effort to avoid the Union troops. Dr. Bradford Kinney, director of the Speech and Debate Union, and Dr. David Bradbury of the Communications Department traveled with the team to She;_Jerdstown. (See Debate, Page 3) Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld lectured on Thursday, October 15 on the topic "Pathophysiology of Gastrointestinal Hypersectretory States: Parting the Veil of Mystery." While many believe that stomach ulcers are caused by too much acid being present in the stomach, Rosenfeld' s presentation refuted this long-standing belief. Rosenfeld began the lecture by saying too much acid is too simplistic a reason for a gastric ulcer, also known as a stomach ulcer. Instead, Rosenfeld believes that one or more of the protective mechanisms of the stomach must fail for a gastric ulcer to appear. "Most people who have stomach ulcers have less than normal amounts of acid, while people who have ulcers of the intestine, also known as duodenal ulcers, have too much acid," stated Rosenfeld. The protective mechanisms of the stomach include the cells Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld that line the stomach, and their ability to be renewed on a periodic basis, the presence of a coat of mucus which covers the cells of the stomach, the neutralizing effect that calcium bicarbonate has on stomach acid, the fact that the PH number near the stomach wall is seven, and the excellent blood flow found in the stomach. In addition to those mechanisms, there is another, more important mechanism. This mechanism is the parietal cell receptors which can reduce the acid secretion of the stomach. According to Rosenfeld, some people's receptors do not work. These people take a drug called Tagament which allows acid reduction and, in tum, healing of the ulcer. Rosenfeld also said that a tumor of the pancreas causes too much acid to be secreted. "This has a trophic effect causing a duodenal ulcer, but never a gastric ulcer," commented Rosenfeld backing up his claim that too much stomach acid does not cause a gastric ulcer. Rosenfeld briefly touched on the role of science educator interaction. He suggested that university professors help the high school science teachers by presenting them with current knowledge. Rosenfeld went on to say, "We have a responsibility to deal with others, the more we help, the more we help with the next generation." �OCTOBER PAGE2 s GOING 0 N•.• tresse out. ry t e midweek meditation, Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. on the River Commons across from SLC.

Doyle responsed to Ungar's discussion, "Since I've been in journalism classes at WVWhigh school, I know that I am leaning towards majoring in Journalism or English upon entering college. This conference has impressed me more toward taking either concentration as a major once I go to college, this is great."

Is it because the television and radio stations, as well as the newspapers, have given the debates a great deal of coverage? Some would assume that this is true. On Tuesday, the Political Science Club had a table set up in the SLC lobby demonstrating their effort to promote the importance of our right to vote. The young women and men representing the club had all definitely made up their minds about who their choice was. They all said they had Bush propaganda on the table so that they would be bipartisan, but someone forgot to tell them about the Independent ticket and the multi-billionaire candidate Ross Perot. There is a tripartisan category, but it was learned that this category is only for three seperate political parties. Being an independent is not akin to party membership. Since Perot is a significant candidate in the presidential race isn't his propaganda warranted to be placed on the table. Think about it, Political Science Club. More on the elections next week. One way that students are able to find a modicum of freedom from the general apathy of Wilkes' campus is to engage in extra-curricular activities. Fortunately, the clubs and organizations on campus are beginning to recognize the problem of widespread indifference and are reacting accordingly. Clubs are forming in new ways with new visions to reflect the desire to rid the campus of its lethargy. In fact, changes are coming so quickly that I must endanger my conservative stature and applaud the efforts of two clubs in particular. The first club that deserves recognition is the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association. According to one member, its goals are "to support liberty and to end isolationism." According to an article published earlier this year, its mission is to promote understanding and provide a support network. It seems that this type of attitude is desperately needed. The incident with the camcorder in the spring of 1991 was so heinous a crime against the rights of privacy that it deserves nothing but condemnation. In a society that professes to be in favor ofindividualfreedomandlibertyofconscience, it seems appalling that we cannot find the decency in ourselves to reach out to these people and accept them as they are. They are not lepers to be avoided, but human beings to be included in society. While I am not, nor ever have been, homosexual, I can sympathize with these people. After all, it's not always easy to stand up for your beliefs, especially when they go against the grain. The second club that deserves credit is thenewly-formed,andstillunofficial,Clubfor Animal Rights, Vegetarianism, and the Envi- ronment. In a meeting last Thursday, defined their mission as being one of educati community service, and volunteerism. Dr. Henry Jacoby said, "We're not try' to force ideas on anybody. We're not setting conditions to be in this club. Any way that y can help with these issues-that's what we' looking for. But, the bottom line is, we doo anyone to feel uncomfortable about th· lifestyles." Dr. Linda Paul echoed Jacoby's c cerns, adding, "Every little bit helps," andshe' right on the money. Every time people get together to disc issues, new ideas are born. It was through brainstorming session that Thurgood Mars came up with the defense that allowed Brown Board of Education to become a reality. knows?

However, must give them a chance. Everyone deserves least that much. In this era of repression, more peo need to stand up and be counted. If you give your right to speak out, the people who beli it is their God-given right to determine right wrong in this society will take away your ri to think. It has always been my policyto li to opposing views and welcome them. Unfo nately, it seems I'm writing for the wrong pa I do not support the attitude of the editor, automatically dismissing something that doe fit with her ideology or culture. Instead, support the ideology of these groups, one openness and education.

In the first act, the audience witnesses an eleventh hour rehersal of Nothing On, fraught with technical difficulties and other various mishaps. However, the true comedy occurs when the audience learns of the personal lives of the cast of Nothing On. In Act II, the audience is treated to a display of the quarrels between cast members, involving inti- mate relationships and cacti, among other painful stimuli. These entanglements lead to a de·bacle of a play, which the audience witnesses from a rather unique vantage point. In the third act, the audience sees the results of the inattentive cast. Confusion reigns, and Brooke Ashton (played by Billi Jo Martin), stressed to the limit, can do no more than recite her lines verbatim, despite the fact that the Dave LeBahn, Jim Evans, and Brent Dilkes all show up to play the part the robber adding to the already confused scene. play is falling apart around her. Meanwhile, three burglars (played by Brent Dilkes, James Evans, and Dave LeBahn) appear when one is quite sufficient. Adding to the confusion were defective props and props appearing where they shouldn't have been, thus proving the fact that practice doesn't make perfect. Despite the fact that Nothing On was a complete flop, Noises Offwas a rollicking sue- cess.

Denise Warner is a senior at King's College majoring in Communications. She began singing with her brothers and now teaches private piano lessons. Her favorite verse is Psalm 42: 1 which says "As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for you, 0 God." Mike Warner was a student at Wilkes University for one and a half years. He now attends LCCC and is known for having played with the hit group SYNCH in "Where are you now?" He left SYNCH to sing for Take Your Stand in 1991. His favorite verse, Matthew 16:26 says, "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?" When asked for advice he would give to Wilkes students, he replied, "I challenge you with all my heart to live for Jesus. Are you fake or are you a real Christian here at Wilkes University?" Next, Two Hearts exploded on the stage with "Celebrate New Life," from their latest release "Stand Your Ground." They also sang "Holy Fire," "Miracles," "Hold On Me," "PromisMe Tonight," "Are You Ready," and "Heaven Help Me." The group is composed of Carrie and Mike Hodge who have been married for three and a half years. T he couple's songs are a testimony of how God brought them through their tough trials. It wasn ' t always easy for the couple. According to Carrie, who has been singing since she was nine, the first year of their marriage was "like having PMS for a straight year." But their song "Miracles," often played at weddings, displays God's power. "I believe in miracles/ dreams come true/ my prayers were answered/ when I found you./ Made for each other/ when God made us/ I thank heaven up above/ for the miracle of us." Mike Hodge is an accomplished guitarist from San Bernardino. He has played with Margaret Becker and Shuckacon. Carrie grew up in Demoines, Iowa. She started singing professionaly when she was eight years old. She has sung with Rowan and Martin, George Burns, and Liborachi. Carrie appeared on The Tonight Show three times at the age of ten. She also sang with Carrie McDowell in "Uh Uh No No Casual Sex," which was a hit video appearing on VH-1. Mike Hodge's advises, "Don't be afraid to go against the flow. The 90's is not a time to be wishy-washy. Do what it takes." Hodge quotes 1st John 5:21 "Dear children keep yourself from idols." These were two groups who knew their purpose in life: to bring glory to God and lift up the name of Jesus Christ. �PAGE6 OCTOBER 21, 1992 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Last week the Wilkes University community hosted VISION' s homeless shelter in Denison Hall. This provided students with a unique opportunity to better understand the plight of the homeless by directly interacting with those struggling to reach a rung of the ladder that most of us take for granted. Student volunteers provided meals and shelter to approximately thirty people per night during the week of October 5-12. The Inter-Residence Hall Council, Commuter Council, and Off-Campus Council also contributed $200 from an earlier fund raiser to support future VISION efforts. The student groups who volunteered their time found the stereotypical image of the homeless as being park bench winos quickly shattered. Instead, students interacted with people who, through unfortunate circumstances, found themselves struggling near the bottom of the agenda of society's growing list of problems. Those at the shelter, by and large, continue to have dreams and goals and have not surrendered to the adversity of their current situation. For every person served by the shelter there was a unique story detailing the circumstances of his/her being homeless. I'm sure in some cases truths were stretched and details left out, but that did not seem to matter much. One thing missing from the stories, however, was bitterness and blame of others for their situations, instead focus was on the more immediate concern of moving beyond the dependence of the shelter. Several students who volunteered during the week came away from the experience with a sense of fulfillment and a greater understanding of the homeless issue. Hopefully, this will result in lasting commitment to community service involvement now and beyond the college years. I want to formally thank all of those who volunteered including the project's sponsors-the Inter-Residence Hall Council, Commuter Council, Student Community Service Council, OffCampus Council, Men's and Women's Basketball Team, Dr. Capin's Accounting 251 class, Circle K, Student Government, Inter-Faith Fellowship, Wayne McDonnell, Ned Smith, Kristy Hallam, and the two hundred students who gave up a meal to feed those at the shelter. Special thanks to Karen Gerlach who spent countless hours organizing, coordinating, and implementing the project. Finally, I am very appreciative of the efforts of American Building Maintenance (ABM) in getting Denison Hall in shape, and Morrison's Custom Management for the food preparation. In closing, I would like to challenge those students who have not had a volunteer experience to get involved in the many opportunities available on our campus and in the community. The perfect opportunity will be on November 7 when the Student Community Service Council presents "Into the Streets," an all day program of service activities addressing several of today's most pressing issues. The VISION shelter will be on campus again during the spring semester. Get involved and experience the good feeling of assisting those who need our help. Mark Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Dear Editor: I am writing in response to Melanie O'Donnell's letter that criticized the Commu First of all, I feel that she should have checked her facts before submitting her letter since inaccurate.

The point system was put into effect years ago after commuters about the lottery system. As for the former president, I would like to know where Me idea that she was out of town when parking permits were being given out. (The park' were at our past president's house.) Anyone is welcome to know why they were not granted a permit. The commuters given a chance to voice their opinions about the Commuter Council and the parking general at the parking forum that was held on September 10, 1992. This forum was well yet only one student was in attendance. Once again, I would like to state that the parking permits are given out as fairly as emphasize this fact, I would personally like to invite Melanie to serve on this year committee which will be meeting over intercession to work on the spring permits. As of the commuter population, the council invites you to attend our meetings, Tuesday~ 11 :45 a.m. See you there. Jadi Willison President of Commuter Council Dear Editor: Let's bury a dead horse.

"The fumble put our defense in a bad position," said Perry. The Colonels received the opening kickoff of the second half, driving 84 yards on 18 plays. Wilkes capped off the drive with a Perry pass to Dan McClave for the 10 yard touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt was successful, giving the Colonels a 10-7 advantage. The Colonels' defense forced a Delaware Valley fumble on the Aggies' 25 yard line. Wilkes recovered the fumble. Four plays later, Jason Smith found the end zone on a 10 yard run for the Colonels' touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt was again good, increasing the lead to 17-7. Delaware Valley scored again on a nine play, 80 yard drive which set up a nine yard . touchdown run by the Aggies' quarterback. The two point pass was blocked by defenseman Aaron Wilk, leaving the score at 17-13. The Colonels' defense denied an Aggies' comeback with 57 seconds left in the game. Defensive back Ben McKeown said, "The offensive line helped the defense out a lot. They gave us a rest by controlling the ball the whole game. Everyone played their role well." Coach DeMelfi added, "We had possession of the ball 38 out of 60 minutes. Our defense was only .on the field for six plays in the third quarter." Wilkes takes on Upsala College at the Lackawanna County Stadium in Moosic, PA this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. "They're big and quick. We have to be ready to play," said coach DeMelfi. McKeown commented, "Upsala likes to use a lot of wide outs and the quarterback likes to scramble. It should be an exciting game." The Colonels have made some impressive accomplishments in the Pile up in center of the field meantime. The offensive line is providing the Colonels' quarterbacks with great pass protection, in addition to creating huge gaps for the running backs to run through.

Bad luck struck once again when the Lady Colonels dropped their next two games at Lebanon Valley and Franklin and Marshall. The Lady Colonels then traveled to Bloomsburg where they defeated the Lady Huskies in straight games. In the victory, O'Connor once again lead the attack for the Lady Colonels with 18 kills. Up next for the Lady Colonels was FDU-Madison. The Lady Colonels walked away with another victory, this time lead by Sue Ketner with 10 service points. Hartwick then stunned the Lady Colonels in a tough three game match. . In the loss Moses had 12 service points and Ketner added eight kills. The team regained their composure by blowing out Marywood and then Misericordia. In the victories, Jodi Depue came up big with 18 service points and four kills. Since their earlier losing streak, the Lady Colonels have turned their season around, winning four out of their last five matches. Coach Maria Pizzella feels that team work is the reason for the team's tum around. "Every win is a team effort, by looking at the individual stats you might not believe that, but if we don't play together as a team, we don't win," said Pizzella. With five games left on the schedule, the Lady Colonels are shooting for at least a .500 record. ~ -~ ~.,tA/6''.r.Nl>:,t < . . , .

On behalf of the entire sports staff here l:l at The Beacon, many, many cheers. • ************************************************ ! Since last week's word of the day was ] "Congratulations," this week's words of the day are ![ FRIENDSHIP and COMMITTMENT. ;: The same question may be on your mind this week: that ] is, "Why are the words of the day friendship and %committment?" Let me see if I can answer this question for all of you. :t First, these two words go hand-in-hand, or at least that f is the way I see it. . [ If you have a friend, a good friend, you expect many )\ things from that person. Among some of those qualities you fa want are trust, honesty and companionship, and tied into all of those qualities is committment. No matter how you slice ]Ft or dice it, committment will always be a part of those !]qualities or any other qualities you look for in a friend. ):; Second, you know whether the person you call a friend ;[lis committed to you by the way they respond in certain ] situations in which you may find yourself. For example, t;[ look back to last week's column, particularly the part about ]! Art Hoover or "Uncle Art," which ever you prefer. "Uncle i[Art" wa~ an athlete's best friend and helped anyone who n needed him. :m This artic.le brought some happy memories to some } people here at Wilkes that knew him, and it made me sit back \; and look at people in a different way, especially my friends. \\ I am glad that I could bring back those happy memories ]of "Uncle Art" to those that knew him, and I am also glad \ that my eyes were opened about someone like him. One such person that I know I brought a happy thought back to is Coach John Reese. Coach Reese stopped me at : the journalism convention last Friday and told me he enjoyed ;; my article and quickly told me a story about something \ Mr.Hoover did for him many years ago. f Thanks, Coach Reese, for sharing that story with me. It made me see a little piece of this man and·made me want to \f leam more. ii However, I am forunate to have four friends who are !~similar to "Uncle Art," or at least that is the way I see them t( now. /! Two of my "Uncle Arts" are from back home. One of them has graduated and moved into the NBA, and the other \\li s sti11 here and is very important to me. [ For those of you who are not as lucky as Coach Reese or ] me, don't stop looking. There are plenty of "Uncle ]Whoevers" out there, but they are just a little harder to find {(hese days. :; The main point of this week's column is to bring to your [attention the "Uncle Arts" that you have in your life, and, if ;you don't have one, keep looking. To my parents: you guys are more than that, and I do mappreciate it.

Sports Editor If you were at the Wilkes men's soccer match on Tuesday you would know how somthing could be bitter and sweet at the same time. Game day weather was the bitter part of the story, but the sweetness came for Coach Phil Wingert and the men's soccer team who won their first MAC NE title. The team's record moved to 7-4-4 after its disappointing 2-2 tie with Division II Bloomsburg in their match on Saturday. Paul Jellen opened up the scoring off a penalty kick in the first half. But, Bloomsburg fired back to tie the match at 1-1 before halftime.

Clinton would like to make over the past four our schools safe again so children can go back to learning reading, writing and arithmetic, not in fear of their lives. Clinton would like to see that everyone who wants to, can attend college," said Kennedy. Kennedy majored in Women's Studies at Brown University. Presently, she is working on a documentary entitled, Pregnant Parenting Addicts. The film focuses on giving addict parents opportunities, not showing them as vietims.

It was her birthday, and she was exhausted from the trying campaign schedule, but she went on. Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of the top 100 lawyers in the United States, according to the The National Law Journal. and champion for the rights of children, stood before the huge crowd. From that one woman came a powerful speech with a powerful message that in which she genuinely believed. She highlighted the main points of her husband's plan to rebuild the country. She began by urging the crowd to "have the courage to change," much the same way President John F. Kennedy did from the same stage some 32 years earlier. She blasted the policies of the current administration, such as trickle down economics and the plight of the working poor, who,even though they work hard, still live below the poverty level. While discussing the Clinton-Gore plan to rebuild America and "grow the economy," she offered the solutions her husband has for these problems. According to Hillary Clinton, the current administration subsidizes American companies who train foreign workers in foreign countries, but there is no such plan for American workers. Governor Clinton's solutions deal with concentrating on education and training for workers and children, instead of pouring money into foreign policy. For example, Hillary Clinton said that her husband's plan for education calls for the elimination of the current student loan program. She said that students are borrowing $5 billion a year, but $1 billion of that money goes to pay for paperwork and processing fees alone. Under Clinton's plan to "invest in our people," a National Service Trust Fund would be set up from which students could borrow, instead of resort(See Hillary, Page 3) �OCTOBER 29, Ghouls,goblins,andthings that go bump in the night will mesmerize concertgoers Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31 , 1992, as the Northeast Pennsylvania Philharmonic conjures up its first pops concert of the season.

She also said that Americans "need to believe that we could do better again," and that "when we're united, there is no stopping us, much like there was no stopping the energized crowd," said Clinton. 29, 1992 PAGE3 1L acrosse club gets S.G. loan HY MARLENE MATOSKY Beacon Staff Writer At the Student Government meeting on Wednesday, Music Education National Conference's (MENC) fund request was tabled until the next meeting.

Dr. Christina S. Beck spoke on behalf of the Communications Club. The club asked for $460 to be used for the copy and postage costs of their newsletter, as well as cost of honorarium for the speaker at their potluck diner. The SG will vote at the next meeting. Parking permit applications will be available on November 3rd, at the Commuter Council office and the Security desk in SLC. Also, Freshman Elections are today. Votes can be cast in either Stark Lobby or the cafeteria. S.G. makes several constitutional changes The Student Government made several changes to it's c:onstituion. The Off-Campus Council (OCC), the President will become an associate voting member. Other constitutional changes were made to give the OCC status 1:quivalent to that of the Inter:~esidence Hall Council and the Commuter Council. The inclusion of the absentee policy which has been in practice for the past four semesters is another change. The addition of this procedure will alleviate future problems with dismissals. The next major change is the deletion of the Social Committee of the Programming Board. The Travel Committee was also deleted because it has not been a necessity in past years. Event organizers make any travel plans necessary to their event. A minor change is the replacement of the Student Government President and Parliamentarian by representatives intheirrespectiveclasses. One must be elected to a represen- tative position before accepting their role as president or parliamentarian, thus changing from a voting to a non-voting member. To ensure that the classes will have equal numbers of votes, the replacement representatives are necessary. The final change is that, in order for clubs or organizations to receive funds from Student Government, they must prove their affiliation with a volunteer group or community service activity.

Wilkes-Barre will again have its turn in the political process. Voting has been the number one topic of discussion for the pas several days, after the excitement of Project LEARN II died down. Ironically, people from all walks of life, (the homeless to the scholars) are talking about the election this year. Many people have asked, who will be endorsed in The Beacon, our front page speaks for itself. The city has been addressed by two viable Democrat women. What more can we ask for? Someone else to come here and talk about the issues? The issues of this nation, as well as the issues of Luzerne County are greater than any one person can handle. Yet and still we were thought about by the Clinton-Gore campaign people. It has been said that the valley is a staunch Republican place. Why haven't any of those Republicans come to our city to show us that they care? One would think it was because they feel they have this area sewn up. But that doesn't seem to be true, especially after folks packed the Kirby Center to hear and speak with the wife o presidential hopeful Bill Clinton. Where are the Bush people? Barbara Bush came to Wilkes-Barre, to a Catholic high school. Was this campaign strategy trying to tell us something? There are many religious denominations in our valley. One presumes that no one in the Republican party campaign though hard enough to consider this fact. You all have read, seen, or heard about the issues and th facts. Now it's your turn. Take that step and go out on Tuesday t vote, it won't hurt, it can only help our ailing country, state an city. The choice is yours, let your voice be heard. by Al Mueller That special time of year is once again upon us-election day, the one day of the when people stay sober just long enough to elect someone who is going to drive themto · for the next four years (or, so it seems). For the last few weeks, students and faculty have to suffer through a period of intense propaganda. Unfortunately, the supporters of the clowns vying for the Oval Office refuse to admit that this election is a three-ring circus and regardless of the outcome, the average American voter is going to be taken for a ride. It is · that business is one of the main issues of the campaign, for that is exactly what the candidates are giving the American people. George Bush, our current President, is about as beneficial to the nation's economy a mouse is to a cheese factory. Four years ago, he promised us a good economy, a strong sy of education, a better environment and an end to the Communist threat. He delivered big one of those promises; unfortunately, the crumbling of the Soviet Union was well unde during the Reagan years, and it just happened that the whole thing finally collapsed du· ush's watch. Then there's Quayle, the champion of the right wing. However, let's not forget about the god of the fringe faction of Ca pin Hall, Bill Clio As Pat Buchanan said, "Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience amounts to ordering ap of waffles in the International House of Pancakes." Unfortunately, Clinton has more fo · policy experience than that - yes, let us not forget that he learned how not to smoke aj · while he was in England. It also seems that Paul Tsongas was right about Clinton when called him a "pander bear," for I haven't seen any one individual take so many stands onas· issue since I attended the last Administration Town Meeting in Stark 101. Furthermore, I at his choice for a running mate-Al Gore. In his book, Earth in the Balance, Gore writes what we need is a "wrenching transformation of society" in a state where environ concerns are ''the central organizing principle of our civilization" - NOT! Then, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the political waters, here co Ross Perot. While his ideas for fixing the nation's economy constitute the most soundfi policy enunciated in an election since Bruce Babbit ran in 1988, Perot doesn't have character or the stature of a President. Moreover, if something went wrong on the first day his term, he'd probably go home to Texas, leaving us in the hands of Vice-President Stock What's that? My hearing aid wasn't on. Let's face the facts. None of the candidates in this election have the intelligence n to win votes for free drugs in a crack house. Of course, intelligence is not a major require for the Presidency. All that is required is a good vision for the future. Unfortunately, none he candidates have offered us one. The Democrats are telling us, "We don't know w rong with the United States, but we can fix it." The Republicans are telling us," othing wrong with America, and we can fix that." Finally, Perot's Independents are eciding whether they want to fiddle while Rome burns or burn Rome, then fiddle. Nev ess, should you fail to cast your ballot on Tuesday, you have no right to complain aboutw ozo finally gets elected. So, if nothing else, be nice to the comedians, columnists andsa · · of the United States - get out and vote. This time, it counts!! ~ - - - ~ - - -- · - - - ... - .- - - - - - - .- - - •j !

Nothing could be further from the truth. The study of political science requires in-depth analysis into the workings of government, including, but not limited to, the role of political parties and their function within society. Obviously (or maybe not), this study can be thoroughly undertaken only if a certain amount of clinical detachment is exercised. We learn not to look at an issue from just one point of view, but to see the validity of an argument in encompassing, rather than fractal, terms. I believe that such objectivity was evident on the part of every club member that volunteered to "work" the table. If, as you infer, the table was nothing but an opportunity to foist leftist "propaganda" (your word, not mine) on the student body, why was Mike Fescina, the Republican candidate in the upcoming Congressional election, present? I spoke with Mr. Fescina, and he had no problem with the display or the material offered. In fact, Mr. Fescina complimented us on our commitment to increasing voter turnout for both the Democratic and Republican parties. You correctly note that, in the presidential election, there is another candidate- Mr. Ross Perot-who was not represented in the display. What you failed to discover was that a member of the Political Science Club approached the Perot people and asked for literature to be used in conj unction with the Bush and Clinton material to more properly reflect the race. Our representative was told that nothing was free and that we would have to purchase any items that we wanted to display. To Phat extent this peculiar policy is attributable to Mr. Perot is both unclear and irrelevant. What should be clear is that the purchase of material from any political party or organization, and the subsequent sponsoring of that party or organization, jeopardizes the objectivity and impartiality upon which the study of political science and, therefore, the Political Science Club is based. It seems to me that the editor would do well to remember that journalism involves much detailed exploration in attempting to separate fact from fallacy and supposition from deposition. Think about it, Editor. Paul Krawitz Dear Editor, I do not always find myself in the position of agreeing with the opinions of Al Mueller as expressed in his "The Scent In The Wind" column. However, in the October 15 edition of The Beacon, Al states that any Wilkes marketing effort will have to involve students and faculty - bottom-up and top-down. Right you are, Al!! No individual can "make the University into a marketable product." However, all ofus together can, and will. We start by defining and applauding the wonderful things about Wilkes, identifying and enhancing those processes in need of change and beginning a journey toward selfimprovement. Scott Bodfish and I agreed to help facilitate this first step in integrated marketing because we perceived campus-wide support and potential. Eventually, the marketing team process of"study, plan, do, and evaluate" will become a part or our daily behavior at Wilkes. The celebration of Wilkes, however, can begin right away. It is already a terrific place. Our people (students, faculty, and staff) are competent and nurturing and provide a quality environment. No organization is perfect, and we need to work together on quality evolution and change. Al suggests that students and faculty become involved. I am very pleased to report that students, faculty and staff are involved. A very quiet, no-pressure call for volunteers in the recruitment and retention effort has yielded the following as of October 16: 56 students, 41 faculty members and 50 staff members. Most of these volunteers will be meeting weekly in action teams studying selected processes, recommending changes and enhancements and monitoring outcomes. In addition, students are also working with Barbara King in the Wilkes TODAY initiative. I am proud to be a member of the Wilkes campus community. Scott and I invite all members of the Wilkes community to become involved in the recruitment and retention effort .. Just call us at Extension 4006, or drop by W eckesser Hall. We value your input and effort. Thank you, Al, for the additional call to become involved. Anne Heineman Batory Faculty, Marketing Dear Editor: The0ctober21 issueofThe Beaco,1 contained an editorial concerning the Political Science Club· s information table in the SLC [Stark Learning Center] lobby on October 20. You claimed that by distributing information on only two of the three major Presidential candidates, the club, of which I am president, showed either neglect or bias. While it is true that club members obtained Bush and Clinton literature, it is not true that "someont. forgot to tell them about the Independent ticket and multi-billionaire candidate Ross Perot." We are well aware of Ross Perot's candidacy. Nor do we have any bias against Ross Perot. We set up the table so that students could learn more about the candidates, all three! Before we organized our information table, a club member visited the local Clinton, Bush, and Perot headquarters. The Bush office provided free promotional material and representatives to work at the club's table, as did the Clinton office. Perot officials informed the club's representative that the office charged a fee for every button, bumper sticker, and booklet. Since the other offices asked for no money, we saw no reason to have to pay for Perot propaganda. We explained the situation to anyone who approached the table to ask why Perot was not represented. Had you asked someone at the table, you would have discovered the reason for the absence of Perot material. The club as a whole has no political preference. Individual members, however, may support whomever they choose. In your editorial you state that "[t]he young women and mq representing the club had all defi. nitely made up their minds about who their choice was." You also imply that the young women and men had allmadethesamechoice. Mostmembers have decided for whom they will vote, but all members do not support the same candidate. The club includes several supporters from the Perot, Clinton, and Bush camps, some who have yet to choose, and even one Libertarian supporter. When the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates were televised, club members met in Conyngham Student Center's basement to watch the debates together and have a discussion afterwards. We invited the public to join us. Local television and newspaper reporters attended our meeting and interviewed us, asking each of us whom we support. Had anyone from The Beacon joined us, you would realize the diversity of opinion within the club. Since you are so upset that we did not represent Ross Perot at our table, I offer to make amends. The Political Science Club will gladly set up another table, including Perot representation, as long as you provide the necessary Perot materials. Before you accept my offer, let me warn you that the purchase of Perot propaganda will require a substantial budget. So if you can afford it, then by all means, acquire the material. We will eagerly distribute whatever you can produce. Ann Marie O'Donnell Political Science Club President Dear Editor: As a faculty member at Wilkes, I read with care the letter in the October 15 issue of The Beacon, regarding an instructorofMth 101 (Fundamentals of Mathematics I). As chairman of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, I shall look into the situation, trying to ensure fair treatment of both faculty and students involved. Quality of instruction is of primary importance in the department. Students enrolled in any mathematics or computer science course who perceive they are being mistreated should speak with the instructor; if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached, they are invited to express their concerns, either directly or Wough their academic advisors, to meortoDr.Nejib,DeanoftheSchool ofScienceandEngineering. Weshall certainly make every effort to handle such concerns with compassion and fairness. Sincerely, Louise M. Berard, Chairman, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Dear Editor, This is in response to the recent (October 8) The Beacon editorial concerning student "apathy" at Wilkes University. You state that "no one cares" about participation in clubs, organizations, and activities here. First of all, we know that such participation could provide positive experiences for students, but don't offend those students who are already members of the various clubs and organizations by saying, "You don't care." Secondly, there are students, I'm• sure, who aren't involved in many activities, if any at all, but they may have valid reasons for this. Time is a crucial factor. At the beginning of this semester, I pondered the possibilities of joining certain interesting clubs (yes-even The Beacon), and I still want to, but I and some others simply DON'T HA VE ENOUGH TIME to do so. The academic workload is very heavy at times, concerned. Thirdly, your re a club or organization tered in asking the qu · believe that you will ment upon graduation, ticipating in any activilis college career?" Is this join clubs? Is this why The Beacon's staff! To club just for the title ol dent," etc. or just to have extra to place on your · very selfish. However, is a motivating factoc 111 the motivating factor. You can rest a~ be a club member and future Wilkes activities lows, but I' II do so out learn, interestorsimple niness is somethingof be accused.

Both teams came into the contest with a 3-3 record. The win for the Colonels gave 1 the team a winning record for the 1992 season. On the Colonels' second possession of the game, Boo Perry connected with Chris Ghignone on a 47 yard pass play to the Vikings' 14 yard line. Jason Smith then put the Colonels on the board first, running seven yards for the touchdown. Joel O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The Vikings came back with a no-huddle offense on their next possession. Colonels' defensive end Larry Trakes burst through the line for a quarterback sack for a loss of 17 yards. The Colonels began to drive again when Perry found Steve Endres on 14 and 13 yard passes. With nine seconds left in the first quarter, O'Donnell booted a 25 yard field goal, increasing the Colonels' lead to 10-0. Upsala answered back early in the second quarter, utilizing their run-and-shoot offense and completing passes of 24 and 28 yards. The Vikings found the end zone on a 12 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Wilkes' lead to 106. The point after attempt was a fake, but the two-point pass was incomplete, leaving the score 10-6. The Colonels lost the ball on their next possession, but the Wilkes' defense stood their ground against the Viking drive. Colonel Jason Feese sacked the Vikings' quarterback for a loss of six yards. Colonels' linebacker John Quinn nearly picked off a Viking pass on a third and 13 play. The Colonels took over on downs after Quinn jammed up the middle on fourth and one for the Vikings. The Colonels ran 15 plays on their next possession, driving down the field on_ce again. Perry connected with Endres on a 36 yard · touchdown pass. O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, increasing the Colonels' lead to 17-6. Upsala answered right back with a 52 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Colonels' lead to 17-12. The two-point pass was complete, closing the score to 17-14 with 4:16 remaining in the first half. Wilkes' running backs Larry Yudiski and Carmen Zullo checked into the offense after Jason Smith left the game due to an injury. Yudiski ran for nine yards on the Colonels' next possession, gaining a first down. Zullo ran 13 yards for another Colonels' first down. With 56 seconds left in the half, Zullo ran nine yards for the Wilkes touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt gave the Colonels a 24-14 lead going into the break. The Vikings dug themselves a hole to start the second half. On the kickoff, Upsala was penalized, giving them first and 25 on their own 15. Colonels' defensive back Ben McKeown intercepted a Vikings' pass, giving t~e Colonels the ball on the Vikings' 15 yard line. However, a Perry pass was intercepted on the five yard line, giving the Vikings the ball back. The Vikings moved the ball quickly late in the third quarter. Upsala scored on a 31 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Colonels' lead to 24-20. Colonels' defensive lineman Chris Carr sacked the quarterback on an attempted two-point conversion play. The Colonels used a 15 play, 80 yard drive in the fourth quarter to run down the clock. Zullo capped off the drive with a 10 yard touchdown run, increasing the Colonels' lead to 30-20. O'Donnell's point after was good, making the score 3120. Zullo's two touchdowns and rushing efforts earned him player-of-the-game honors. Zullo rushed for over 100 yards in the game behind Yukiski's blocking. "Larry Yudiski has done a great job blocking all year. He blocks as well as any fullback. He's an unsung hero," said head coach Joe DeMelfi. The Colonels plays, controlling most of the game. "Our offense job moving the Carr. "Our offensive well. Our rush' controlled the ball DeMelfi.

Now, some two weeks later, the Ladies are 10-8. After ending the season with four straight losses, NCAA play-off chances have been forgotten and the Lady Colonels are hoping that the ECAC selection committee has it in their heart to grant them a play-off bid. Last Saturday, Wilkes was once again on the road and they were handed a 5-U defeat by the Lady Blue Jays of Elizabethtown College. Elizabethtown's first score came at 11 :49 in the first half when a weak shot that fell short of the goal line was not cleared and an E-town forward followed it up. The Lady Blue Jays scored again, this time off of a corner play to take a 2-0 advantage into halftime. The second half went much like the first as the Etown defense turned back a number of strong offensive attacks by Wilkes. This caused frustration to build in the Lady Colonels. "It seemed as if we would dominate for minutes at a time and when Elizabethtown got possession they made scoring against us look easy," said coach Addy Malatesta. E-town scored three more times in the second half to secure the victory. Malatesta believed that the Lady Colonels hung tough, but the ball j ust didn't bounce their way. "Although we never seemed to be out of the game territorially, we were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities that we normally finish off with a goal," said coach Malatesta. The Lady Colonels will be awaiting the ECAC decision to be announced on November 2.

Wilkes University was the first school to use the "Operation Alert", which is now used at twenty-six different colleges and universities, and is also used at hospitals. Cookus says he only knows of two cases in Wilkes-Barre in which Operation Alert has been used successfully. The first case was in Public Square, when a woman was approached by two individuals. The woman became suspicious, and she set off the alarm. When the alarm was set off, the two individuals fled . The second incident was on South Franklin Street when a jacket crossed the street , and approached her. The woman became suspicious and pressed the alarm. When the alarm was pressed, the man ran away. Cookus said that a lot of students use the Operation Alert as a door alarm sucessfully. Cookus said that it was good for him and Wilkes University to get the award because it gives recognition to the school. "Many top schools in the East, such as Yale and Rutgers were nominated, but didn't get the award." Cookus was appointed DirectorofSecurity at Wilkes University in 1990.

Gay people exist on this campus. There's most likely one (or more) in each of your classes, possibly even your teacher. Statistically, ten percent of society is known to be gay. But how does this supposed "ten percent" deal with balancing gay life and Wilkes life? At a recent meeting of the Lesbian, Gay, andBisexualAssociationmeeting,questions were asked of the members in attendance as to what they felt about being gay, how their classmates might look atthem, and what role the LGBA plays in their lives. A sample of the responses follow. -----------------■ • Society around here: evil, perverted, sick, What does it mean to you to be gay? • It's just a part of me, but not all of me. • That I am able to enjoy life in any way I would like. To spend my life with whomever I choose, and to love as I wish. • It means being myself. •Tome, being gay means that I feel attraction to people of the same sex, part of the attraction is sexual, but more of it is emotional. • I think of being gay as being special, because a lot of people who shaped the way society is today were gay, such as Freud, Shakespeare, and Walt Whitman. Also, I feel that being homosexual helps me be a more open-minded person than most. • Being gay means simply that I am attracted to members of my own sex. It means simply that I am a little different. • I'm the sameexceptforthe fact that I am sexually attracted to men. And the other difference is not because of me or my actions, but usually how society looks at me. I am comfortable with being gay, but society forces me to deal with it more than I usually would. • It's what I am. It's my life. It's as natural to me as breathing, I can't imagine not being gay. • Being gay means having a life where you always wonder what people are thinking of you. If someone doesn't like me, I wonder if it's because they know I'm gay. Life seems to be a constant living in the closet, although the door is open. I feel I can't do some things, like holding hands in public, etc., because of society's reaction. How do you feel society perceives homosexuality? in picture (clockwise, 1 tor) Dr. Bradford Kinney, Al ,Michael Butchko, Holly K. Evans, LynnMarie e, and Jennifer Barkas. (center) Lynn Krutz. put in certain situations, they feel they must conform to type. • Society perceives homosexuality as twisted and purely sexual. It fails to see the love, caring and emotions that are also involved, just as with heterosexuality. It cannot, for the most part, see past its own prejudices and fears. • They feel it is a choice, that I one day just decided "Girls were nice, but I think that guys are cuter," which is not the case. They feel we are deviants who like flaunting the fact that we're gay, when all we want is equality. • Society's gut reaction is usually very negative, they close their minds. •Asa wrong or evil thing that only happens to bad people. • I think it really depends on how you look at it. I think that society in general accepts it, but what is publicized is the hatred of gays. Bad things are what really get attention. • The spectrum runs from the farthest-right violence towards gays to the gay or lesbian person's ultimate acceptance of herself/himself. We are, after all, members of the society doing the "perceiving." • I think that most individuals accept it, but when warped, embarrasing, scary. Society elsewhere: They're gradually coming to see it as a part of life, as just a normal variation in people. Hopefully, the valley will eventually catch up. • The older generation denied it exists, or is anti-gay. Younger people are more open, but because of the many influences of religion, parents, etc., they seem to not be open. It takes a lot of courage and self-examination to realize you can be friends with gays and not be gay. Yet, much of society may perceive you that way anyhow. Society is still pussy-footing this issue, but they have been slowly becoming more accepting. What do you get out of being a member of the LGBA? • A better understanding of being more "active" and learning about my civil rights and meeting people. • Friendship, support. • I've made a lot of good friends through the LGBA. It makes me feel that we may actually be able to make a difference in the world. • I get a feeling of satisfaction. We provide a setting in which being gay is not an issue which puts people at risk. Here, being gay or lesbian is a given for the majority of people. My freshmanyear(sovery long ago)Iwished there would have been such a thing. • I was a little apprehensive at first, because I didn't know what to expect. Once I became a member, I realized that we are all here to help each other grow socially, as well as psychologically. I can only say "Thank God for the LGBA." • The LGBA has helped me cope with my coming out, and helped me feel more comfortable with myself. It has let me know that I am not alone, both here at Wilkes and the valley, and even the world. I've also made a number of important friendships, which I hope to continue well past the time I spend here at Wilkes. • Just being around people that I can be myself with 100 percent. Normally, I am me, but always keeping my guard up. It's a place where I truly feel among peers. I don't know where I'd be if the LGBA wasn't here. As you might imagine, there isn't much of a local gay scene. • The ability to be who I am without hiding it. It helped me come out at the University. ......... - ......... - .. - .. - - - • • i • ~ �EDITORIAL- The Scent In the Wind by Al Mueller Clinton Sweeps Election Now that the election is over, many people have begun to make predictions about whether or not our next president of the United States will live up to the expectations of the people. Republicans and Democrats alike seem to be anxiously awaiting for the "fumbles" or the magnificently executed deliberations of Bill Clinton. This is America. The land where all people are given the opportunity to voice their opinions openly and freely. The land where all people can take an active part in their governments political process. The land "where everyone counts and everyone is a part of America's family," s'aid Bill Clinton in his acceptance speech late Tuesday night. It has been some twenty-odd years or so that our Commander in Chief has uttered words like this and seemed to have meant them. This election was one of the most important elections in many of our lifetimes. America is in need of a change. Changes in its own domestic relations, not just economically, but a change for people. People is what makes the world go 'round, not economy. There would be no economy without people. America has been devastated by the effects and defects of the soon to ending Reaganomic era, it's time for a change. America has finally recognized this fact, the results in the electoral vote, as well as the popular vote tell us that. Clinton said, "Let's reunite our already United States." "Together we can do it, a partnership for a new country." Advice for Graduating Seniors Seniors it's that time for you to register for the last time, but are you sure you have all the courses and credits you need? The Registrar's office is finding that many students who expect to graduate in May are lacking writing intensive and core studies courses. Are you one of these students? It is possible for you to find out by seeing your advisor. They are available to help you in every possible way. Go to see them now if you have not done so already. The key to you successfully going through the graduation process is by getting your graduation clearance sheet to check for any holes in the courses you've already taken and in your curriculum's graduation requirements. Seniors this year will be the first to graduate under the new core requirements, so some confusion is expected. It is up to you to make sure you are on the right track though. See your advisor, they maybe able to give you some good sound advice. People in our society are complaining about how the media are trying to do their thinking for them, and, given the Editor's penchant for arguments lacking substance and validity, it is not hard to see why people are complaining. However, if Ms. Breese really wants to hear about local Democrats, as she implies in her column of October 29, this columnist is more than willing to oblige her. At the top of the list is Representative Paul Kanjorski and his panacea, the Earth Conservancy. Earth Conservancy has been the catch word of the day at Wilkes, receiving support from even the top brass in the Administration. However, what most people don't realize is that the sole purpose of Earth Conservancy was to act as a pork barrel for Kanjorski, one that would allow him to bring $20 million to Pennsylvania to pump into businesses at his discretion. His plan almost worked, but other Representatives tampered with his proposed rider to the bill. Now, Pennsylvania has to compete for the money. Consequent}y, Earth Conservancy has turned out to be an honest-to-goodness attempt to heal the environment. As one person in PR said, "But, Al, it has to start somewhere." True, but this ends-justifies-the-means philosophy helps no one. Moreover, it is scary to think that any rational individual can buy into this philosophy, and, to those that do think along these lines, one can only say, "Haven't you heard? The Middle Ages are over." Speaking of the Middle Ages, let's turn our attention to Senator Ralph Musto, the manorial landlord himself.

Especially pleasing to the crowd was the contribution of Wilkes senior Greg Steuben, who read an original poem about a fictitious murder spree which featured members of the English departments as victims. The Execution ran very smoothly, according to event co-chairpersons Heidi Hojnowski and Melanie O'Donnell, both of whom are senior English majors at Wilkes. Hojnowski expressed delight at the "wonderful turnout, varied reading~ and a wonder- ful response." Said O'Donnell, "One comic, one harpoonist, and George Sand. What more could we ask for?" (the harpoon, incidentally, was a decorative contribution from Dr. J. Michael Lennon, who also read an excerpt from Moby Dick). The audience's response to the execution was also very positive.

The caretaker then told the mistress to lead the group on a tour of "some of the most horrifying rooms that you will ever see" . The first room that the mistress showed the group was a room which recreated a famous scene from the movie Psycho. In this room, there was a woman -behind a shower curtain and a man who came up behind her and stabbed her. Then the murderer said,"I killed her for you, Mother!" The mistress then took the grouptotheRubberRoom. This room had mattresses all along the floor and up against the walls. Suddenly, two mattresses came down, and two people who were covered with blood came out and lurched toward the group. The next room had a coffin Dressed as monsters, Circle K members hang-out in the coffin room while waiting for another tour group. which contained a young woman. The woman looked dead, but, suddenly, she came to life and started screaming. The Exorcist Room was next, in which an actual exorcism was being conducted. The group was then led down a dark hall where various creatures jumped out from the walls. The group was then led into the Mad Scientist's Room, where an experiment was taking place. Theexperimentinvolved taking blood from a donor and transferring it to a dead body in order to have it rise from the dead. There was a cabinet in the comer of the room, from which the dead body leapt. A seance took place in the next room . Three people were chanting the phrase "Rosemary" when, suddenly, someone rose from a couch that was behind the seance table. A creature then entered the room and exclaimed, "She's alive, and she's mine! Get Out! Get Out!" The last room was the Mirror Room where various creatures leapt out of boxes wrapped in tin foil. Overall, the haunted house was excellent. The caretaker and the mistress did a good job at performing their parts, as did the people in the various rooms. Most people seemed to enjoy the Evil Estate and said that it left them with an eerie feelng.

The test drug was supposed to induce psychic powers which might allow Tim to see what happened. The audience is also introduced to Tim's fiancee Susan who is a sexy, power-hungry drug dealer. Susan and the doctor despise each other because Susan does not like the way the doctor has a hold on Tim. Next, we meet Susan's sister Arny played by Wilkes' student Amy Kahonowitz. Amy is also the doctor's assistant. Sound good yet? Well to make things worse, T!.:m is having an affair with Amy because he can't get the satisfaction he wants from Susan, played by Holly Walder of Top Hat Productions. Susan finds out and starts fightingwithAmy. Whilehaving a vivid cat fight, A.ny crcps dP.ad in Susan's arm . Tim Navy, played by Charlie King, has a vision while under hypnosis . Susan exclaims, "Damn ...... .I broke a nail!" The body is carried out , the police are called, and the farce continues. Ne;~t, Tim agrees to have a sessio:i where he is given DepaP..ol, the test drug; and to be placed in a hypnotic state by Kensington. While in the trance, Tim has a vision of his father being killed and consequently, strangles Doug Barnes played by Wilkes student Jason Delcampe. So who killed Doug and Arny? Are you thoroughly confused? Well so were the audience members! The audience was then given a chance to ask questions and then vote on who they thought the killer was. Of course, it was the dear doctor. He killed Arny by giving her Depanol because she was blackmailing him. He accidentally killed his nephew Barnes by giving him th e Depanol. Barnes was then able to enter Tim ' s vision where he was strangled. In the end, the evil villian was shot by Susan. Those who had picked the doctor as the killer had their names drawn for prizes. Robin Rabbito and Melissa Duccashi won squirt guns. Stephanie Kramer, Andrew Glickman, and Tad Barnhart won T-shirts. Jeffrey Shedlock won the grand prize of $50.

One NBA general ichael Mellman, manager, speaking on the personal physician condition that he not be ers' team doctor, identified, was quoted in a 000, Calif. (AP) ---- for the second time story published Sunday in The New York Times as saying that Johnson should step aside to avoid any controversy. Malone was quoted in the story as saying, "Just because he came back doesn't mean nothing to me. It may be good for basketball, but you have to look far beyond that." Malone added, "Look at the cuts and scratches I get now. All of a sudden, the last second of the game, and here comes Magic to the basket. It's the same as, what if I had the virus as a player and what if a Buck Williams or a Charles Barkley comes in? "It's a physical game and you do get kicked and scratched," Malone added. "I do have concerns, just like anybody would have. It's not a thing of kicking a man when he's down." The 33 year-old had shocked the sports world last November 7 when he announced his retirement after testing HIV positive. A source close to Johnson speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the retirement was tied to the controversy surrounding the player's comeback, and not his health. , Another source familiar , with the situation, who also declined to be identified, said Johnson "probably thought he would be above any kind of controversy because he's Magic. But he discovered that wasn't going to happen." "I've come to realize that it simply isn't possible to return to playing in the NBA and still continue to be involved in all the things I want to do," Johnson said. "Although my family has given me their support to return to the Lakers, I feel that it is more important to spend my time with them as well as continuing with HIV and AIDS education projects than in the competitive world of the NBA." First year Laker coach Randy Pfund said Johnson's agent, Lon Rosen, called him Sunday night with the news. "I think everybody realized going in it might not have worked as perfectly as we would have wanted it to," Pfund said. Rosen said Johnson's primary aim is to educate people about AIDS. "His feeling was, if people were afraid to play against him, that could affect the outcome of the game, and Earvin didn't want that," he said. �PAGE 10 Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons NOVEMBER 5, 1992 Booters get ready for MISSIE CHINCHAR Beacon Asst.

Jellen scored the game winning goal just 46 seconds into overtime. Jellen busted the length of the field beating three Baptist Bible defenders as well as the goal keeper. In the final regular season match against Susquehanna, it was all Wilkes' offense. Once again Jellen scored in the opening minutes for the Colonels and the blue and gold never looked back. Jellen had two goals, while Tom Nally, Seltzer and Herb each had one goal. On Tuesday, the men lost to Messiah 6-0 in the MAC Northern Division title game. The Falcons scored three goals in the first half and three in the second half to earn their crown. "We had bad breakdowns in our defense and for the first time this season we gave up goals," said head coach Phil Wingert. There was great crowd support for the hooters, but the Colonels could not produce. "It was frustrating for the guys because we had the backing from the fans," said Wingert. He went on to say, "I don't think that we as a team have advanced to the level of play that Messiah has and it showed."

Coach Maria Pizzella's squad finished their season a little disappointed, losing three out of their last five matches. The first loss came at the hands of Allentown College. The Lady Colonels lost in three sets. Senior Sue Ketner had seven service points and seven kills, while freshman Jodi Depue added nine service points and six kills in the loss.

If students run into a problem, "depending on when the problem surfaces," Meyers said, the student may be able to find a solution. For example, if the problem is found in August, the student still has a chance to make up the class. If there is no way the student can fill the requirement, he or she can petition the Academic Standards Committee (ASC), chaired by Dr. Laurel Ginsburgh, for a waiver. Meyerssuggests,however, that if a student needs to go the ASC, theyshouldsubmitaformal letter with both the student's and the advisor's description of the problem .Meyers says this is,"so no one gets in a position where they have a gun to their head, and we [ASC] can work out some kind of arrangement."

NSOreceived$600thatwill be used to help send eight members to a conference from November 11-14. Originally, the money was going to pay for the regi~tration of the NSO's executlve board members and lodging for all of the members, but John Comerford, SG Treasurer, suggested that the NSO "distribute the power" by dividing the money equally among all eight persons for their lodging and registration. This measure was passed with the stipulation that those students who (Forum, Cont. from Page, 1) John Pesta, $250,000 of work is required to meet ADA guidelines.

TheHistoryClubhadthefirs reading of its constitution. Th club has its own constitution be cause the Political Science an History Clubs were once a singl entity. Now that they have split however, each club needs its ow constitution. According to Jef Meyers, president of the Histor Club, the purpose of the club is t "introduce historl into the stu dent body" and aid in the ex change of knowledge, ideas an opinions in the field of history. SG will be showing Tlz Allison G/zerts Story and a Magi Johnson-Arsenio Hall AIDS pro gram as a pait of.World AID Day. There is a $100 rental ~ for the Glzerts film , which goe to the Los An eles AIDS Clinic On the lighter side, the question of "covert operations on condoms'' was addressed. According to a student, it seems that when individuals ask for condoms at the Health Office, the woman who passes them out is embarrassed. Also, only three condoms at a time are usually passed out. Betty Kwack of Health Services said that the woman passing out the condoms is only trying to prevent the student from embarrassment, and, if asked for, more condoms will be given out. "They just go so fast," Kwack added . From condoms to food: can some of the money students spend on food go toward a charity? Mike Zeoli of Food Services commented that the money they made from students buying food is not enough to cover all the costs. "We hope a student won't eat every meal, but more students are eating the meals than we have expected," added Zeoli. �PAGE4 EDITORIAL- NOVEMBER 12, 1992 The Scent In the OPEN FORUM A SUCCESS? . . The topic that brought about the largest and most hilanous response from the audience as well as the panel concerned the dispersing of free condoms to the student body. A male student asked Nurse Betty why it seemed as if the dispersing of condoms to students was some type of "covert operation." He explained, when going to the nurse's office to obtain condoms, the secretary tells the nurse, then asks you to have a seat in the waiting room across the hall. Next, you're called into the examination room where the nurse inconspicuously shoves the condoms in your hand, three at a time. "Is three the magic number?," he asked. . "~o," said Nurse Betty, "you can get as many as you like. We Just regularly give out three at a time." The audience roared with laughter. That was on the lighter side of things.On the more serious side was a question about career services. This discussion led to the mere fact that this department in our school may be a little one-sided on who they really help obtain employment upon graduating from Wilkes. Also, it was brought to the attention of the panel that maybe career services should focus on helping juniors and not just seniors. It seems as if it just might make a little more sense to start when students are juniors to look for employment. By the time we are seniors, we should already know how to look for a job, write a resume, and have the confidence to approach employers in what we have come to know as an ailing job market. ~ike the "Cafman" and Morrison Management hope we do~ t eat all of our meals. Yes, you heard me right, the cafetena doesn't want us to eat there, at least not all of the time. T~e cafeteria figures that a certain percentage of payed meals w~ll ~ot be used during the year and bases meal plan costs on this figure. Why are we paying for meals when the cafeteria knows we won't eat them anyway? Can a resident assistant search your room? No, but he or she can clearly see that you have Wilkes lounge furniture in it. Get rid of it, you will be fined. Just another concern from a student who resides in a dorm that has many fire drills. For all of you who missed the Open Forum, you lost a great chance to voice your opinion about what happens -at Wilkes. In 1892, the Republican President, Benjamin Harrison, was plagued by the Homestead Steel Strike, which forced hundreds of steel workers out of their jobs and brought the issue of wages before the eyes of the American public. The disgruntled labor unions threw their votes to the Democratic challenger, Grover Cleveland, and to the Populist candidate, General Weaver. The incumbent was ousted, and the nation moved toward what some thought would be an era of change. Does this sound familiar? It should. President George Bush suffered at the hands of an angry mob because he was unable to deal with the exigencies brought on by a slow-growth economy and a poor economic outlook for the immediate future. Governor Clinton, our president-elect, has promised us change in the form of an inflationary money policy, and he is already attempting to install his panacea through his "transition committee." Some people might suggest that this type of plan is just what we need to get the nation's economy moving again. Others might suggest that Clinton's plan must be right because he received the mandate of the electorate. Neither of these beliefs however, are accurate. First, the election results suggest that no one really viewed either candidate's plan as being truly capable of solving the problems facing the nation.

The defender from Lafayette Hill, Pa., scored two goals and recorded one assist for the Colonels. Nally was the key to the boaters' defense for the majority of the past four seasons. His loss will leave another big gap to fill. Phil Joyce, a senior midfielder from Oceanside, N.Y., had three assists this season for Wilkes. Joyce was a 2nd team MAC All-Star his sophomore year. Mike Seltzer, a midfielder from Newtown, Pa., scored three goals and two assists this season playing in all 20 games for the Colonels.

Sports Face$ Crunch." . The article stated that "at least 17 states report changes directly related to reduced budgets with some imposing pay~or-play fees on student-athletes, others foregoing pay increases for coaches, and some considering other sources of revenue such as commercial sponsorship for their teams." The thought of having kids pay-for-play really doesn't sit well with not only me, but with some local coaches and athletic directors as well. Tom Griffith, an assistant coach who saw this almost take place at Williamsport High School, gave some of the details that would go along with this idea of pay-for-play. "The kids would have to pay $10 for the first physical, which every athlete must have, and $5 for the second physical if the child played two sports. They would have to buy their own sneakers and then a coach in every sport would have to be cut," said Griffith. Fortunately these actions were not taken, but it was a close call. Griffith said there is one way to solve this problem: "have a corporate sponsor pick up the tab for a sport." However, this could cause controversy if the player is the sponsor's child but doesn't play much, if at all. Another problem could be that since the corporate sponsor put up the money, it might want to dictate how the program is run." Another coach who feels the same way as coach Griffith is Tom McGuire, head coach at Seton Catholic High School. "I am totally against it. Sports should be open to all, no matter how rich or poor. By putting stipulations like that into effect you make the family choose between a sport or foo d. There are more ways to pay for athletics," said McGuire. Coaches are not the only ones against this idea of payfor-play, athletic directors are also against it. Chr~s Perry, athletic director at Hazleton Area High School m Hazleton, Pa. says, "I'm not in favor of it one bit, the negatives out-weigh the positives. It is not right to deny somebody the right to play a sport if they can not afford to pay for it. There are other areas that could be cut back on so this doesn't have to take place." Perry also added, "There has not been any mention of it in our league and I don't see it happening soon." Coach Karen Haag, Wilkes' head women's basketball coach says, "being a former high school teacher I know there are things which can be cut before athletics. There has to be more to save athletics." Coach Jerry Rickrode, head men's basketball coach at Wilkes ~ays, "I would rather see kids pay-for-play than do away with sports all together. I would rather nip athletics than education." ~I thes~ coaches make good points. While I am against makmg a child pay-for-play; at the same time, I would rather see a child get a quality education instead of a poor one because the education budget was cut to support a sports program. There has to be something we can do to have both quality education and sports. After all, sports do teach children a lot. Hopefully, the day will never come when we have to make a child pay-for-play. 12, 1992 Harriers in MAC Championshi This weekend the cross country team did not have enough athletes in order to qualify as a team at the MAC Championships, however, six members did run the race.
