And finally, the third phase will be the new dining facilities and residence hall near the spot where Pickering Hall currently is located. "The third stage will be, perhaps, the most inconvenient," said Lennon, "We'll be short on parking until that phase is complete and we'll have to convince students to park at Ralston Field." Ralston Field is equipped with 300 parking spaces and would be furnished with a shuttle bus to get students from there to the university. The $25 million plan also includes the framework for renovations to Stark Learning Center for the coming of the Doctor of Pharmacy Degree to the university. The plan has been in the works now for some time, Renovations to the recently purchased buildings located on Franklin Street across from the Marts Center. but now that it has been approved by the Board of Trustees, who also added $2 million to the request, the project can officially begin. The money to fund the project will come from vari- ous sources, according to lions," added Lennon, "and Lennon.

The seniors have already sci their minds on graduation and they have hcgun to enjoy themselves !'or lhc duration. However, for a heginning freshmen , this change can turn into a nightmare . The scariest thing lhal happens is the meeting of one's roommate. This experience can he holh pleascnt and horrihle depending on the situation.

(Aren't you glad you know that now'I) There arc Llrns.:: matches that result in l"ricnds for life ; however, these arc rare. Anoth er hig step that can drive a freshman crazy is the switch from mom 's kitchen food to the cafeteria selections . This is prnhahly the worst adjustment for any newcomer . One of the things people tell you hdore you go away to school is to watch oul forlhe "freshman I ."i." The only way a freshman gains these dreaded I ."i pounds is hy NOT eating al the cafeteria and ordering out. In fact, hy eating only at the cafeteria you can lose l ."i pounds. In addition lo lhe adjustment lo the foud there is also a switch lo a different time schedule for meals. This not only pertains to the cafeteria hut the SUB as well. (The new hours of the SI 1B seem to have the students in an uproar ,hul I am getting ahead of myself.) I think the Brady Bunch sang il hcsl : "When ii 's time lo changc, you've gol to rearrange ... ,'' hecausc this is exactly what evcry newcomer must do. Although this rearrangement may feel like lhc dillcrcncc hctwccn heaven and earth, il is the hesl thing that could ever happen to a frcshrP.cn . The change thal lakes place hclwccn the first months and the last months of classes is rc1narkahle for many. (However, there arc those of us who will never change.)

My counterpart seems to believe that women "overpack" in order to a man carry their luggage. That is an absolutely ludicrous (translation: ty male) contention. I, on the other hand, believe the issue runs slightly . That the tendency of a female to bring more "stuff' is the result of two gly gender-related traits - those of preparation and sentimentality. s, according to my statistics (and those are the only ones that matter ur), generally rank higher in both of these categories. So while the Boy Scout's motto may be "Always be prepared," it is lly a female who always has the Kleenex you need, the map you males w forgotten (or claim not to need), and the remote control that was hidden lhc heer bottles and empty chip bags from the Monday night football game. complaining, I may as well get the female favorite in.)

(Don't you wish.) So guys next time you look at the girl next to you loaded down with seven m:;oniteas Seymour said (even helter alliteration), pick up the bags, and ofitasa lesson in improving your skills of preparation and sentimentality. · that's what she said for this week. ----- here). --------- With the return of school on August 25, summer as Wilkes students know it came to an abrupt end. Most of us, I am certain, were surprised by the proximity of this fast approaching deadline. For the men in our audience (translation: the only ones who can under~tand "proximity"), the task was a simple one. When packing clothing, just a few basics, whatever will be necessary for the first week of school, are necessary. For wardrobe additions, the Labor Day break is placed perfectly as the weather changes. Ir it gets too cold, go home over break and add a few things to the old wardrobe. Sounds easy, right? But for the women in our audience it's not this easy. Now before you go saying, "Seymour, just who the hell do you think you are?,'' let me explain. Itis my opinion that women should be allowed membership in the Boy Scouts. They take the phrase "Be prepared" to gross extremes. "But Seymour," I can hear the fair Amanda saying, "what if it were to snow the last week or August? I'd need at least ten winter outfits to get to b through the week! It's better safe than sorry." As a rule for the usage or seatbelts, the ahove aphorism works.To extend the clichc to packing however, is blas-...."'-.._phemy. Not only is it to',,-~,_tally impractical for women to pack so many clothes, hut, as with all ----------- ·,....,°'-instances, when women overdue things, a man must he there to save them. ff--~ A m a n d a brings seven sets of Samsonite (great alliteration) luggage to Wilkes, will she caITy the bags to her room? Yeah, when King's freezes over. No, the fair Amanda will hat her eyes and use her charm, and some poor fellow will be in the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital with a hernia. And I highly doubt that Amanda would even take the time to send him llowers, or even better, a six-pack. While women laugh at our stupidity as we once again can-y their crap up 23,000 tlights of stairs, we, gentleman must stop this practice. Only once women are forced to carry theirown bags will they realize that it's much easier to injure your spine than you think. Until then, gentlemen, in closing what he said, take care and enjoy your traction. Are You Getting the Health Care You Need?

Not wanting to cause an accident, Nevertheless, I remained cairn. I decided that the hest thing to do was to get the hell out of Fo11y-Fo11 (which is most likely a lifelong dream of 99 percent of the current residents). But Osifer Jones was too smart for a college student like myself. He pulled me over in the parking lot of a closed Keyco store. Very appropriately, because the osifer, like the items in Keyco, came in hulk. After handing him my license and registration, I began to answer the questions he posed to me. After a few minutes of him accusing me of not "staying in the line of traffic" (how original! And ludicrous!), he posed the kicker " Have you heen .,__ _ _;,,_._ _ drinking ?" But of course. The king of stupid questions lives, and works, in FortyFo1t. But I am a college student. What else would he accuse me of doing? After my categorical denial, he proceeded to throw my license hack at me and left.

In pasl years the weight room has bee n open from 6: 30 a .m. ·19 p.m. and il worked oul great for everyone. There was ver any problem with this schedule. For those students who nted Lo sta11 the morning off with a workout they were able gt:t in as early as they wanted . As for myself, I always went wt-en I l a.m . and noon . Everyones schedules were different t. it worked. ow, with the late opening, students who have no class in morning and a busy afternoon , have no time to get to the ·ght room. This problem goes for faculty members as well . ~n on the weekend the room is closed until 2 p.m . which vides a major inconvenience for those who actually wake up i,re2 p.m.! There is of course a new man in charge this year. Could that vc something to do with it ? Wh om ever is in charge should ·ously reconsider their new schedule for the sake of all of the dents and faculty members who use the room. Needless Lo say. the new schedule has all of the students and ulty members in an uproar. Some thing musl be done to ain our morning privelages in the weight room . If they are orricd ahoul theft it would he pretty hard to walk away with tair stepper in broad daylight (especially in front of our ·urily). Moving on, there is another schedule change that has the dents in an uproar. The SUB has decided to join the weight room in messing up it's schedule. Although I must admitt they d fix it somewhat in the morning it still could use some unprovement. The SUB is now going to be refusing meal cards while the cakteriaisopen (for those of you who didn't already know) and Ibis is causing major problems with the students schedules. There are so many possible combinations of classes that the 1111dents have all different eating times. In previous years this was not a problem because the SUB a:ceptcd meal cards all day long. There were always designated times as lo when it counted towards breakfast and when ii sta11cd to be lunch, however, it still worked. There is no reason why there should be any problem with keeping the SUB open to meal cards at all times during the day . 9, 1993 PAGES Letters to the Editor To The Editor: As of the new 1993-94 school year, Morrison Custom Management instituted a new policy for the use of prepaid meal cards at the SUB . The new policy limits the time of day that meals can be purchased on a cash equivalency basis . Previously, meals could he purchased from the time that the SUB opened until 8 p.m. Now, the time of day that cash equivalency is permitted is seriously limited mostly to the times that the Pickering Cafeteria is closed . This new policy is unacceptable to those who used the SUB as an option to the fare offered at the cafeteria. Sometimes the meal offered at the cafeteria is just plain undesirable to the consumer. In instances like this , the SUB was a viahle alternative because there existed a somewhat large array ofchoicesavailahletotheconsumer. Now the students Wilkes University arc at the mercy of Morrison ' s due to the fact that there are no other estahlishmenL'- availahle to the student that will accept the Wilkes meal card . This dilemma poses quite a problem for students that find this new meal policy unacceptable .

Each Ap1il I have visions of pennant glory and the sweet smell of an October evening when the roar of the crowd brings the long awaited glory to the hearts and minds of the faithful, simply to have those dreams crushed by the damning reality of poor talent and inept management. Each summer I'd lie awake drowning in the static sound of the AM radio as the Phils floundered in futility. Next year, I thought, next year. .. I always thought of what life would be like during a Phillies' pennant chase. I, with greying hair, telling my grandchildren of my long and t011uous love affair with the Phillies. The Phillies who are now located in Tampa Bay after the Great Philadelphia Riot of '98 which was precipitated by the trade of threetime National LeagueMVP, '96and '97T1iple Crown winner, and recently elected mayor of Philadelphia Joe Millette to the Mets for Vince Coleman and journey man Juan Bell. (Millette gained superstar abilities after being struck by lightning during an unassisted t1iple play while playing for the Red Barons. When asked for a reason for the trade, publicly flogged, tan-ed, and feathered Phi ls' General Manager Lee Thomas was quoted as saying, "I thought they both had explosive potential.") But I see the kind look of disbelief in their faces as eyes slowly wander back to the television, which is turned to The Basketball Channel, as Dick Vitale, now 107, explains the advantages of the six-point play. For now, I'm damned happy, enjoying that warm, fuzzy feeling that only winning can bring. However, on the downside, I find my self becoming more and more forgetful on everyday matters (such as taking out the garbage, weaiing underwear, concentrating on my thesis "The Emergence of the Designated Hitter Rule and the Decline of the Socio-Economic Structure of the United States," etc.) It's all worth it though, to awake each morning, coffee in my hand, dog at my feet, and the sports section or the newspaper spread in front of me with the words J most love to hear staring at me . . .

There have been propositions in the past to have a shuttlchus transport people between campus and the parking lot at Ralston field every 15 minutes , hut nothing has come or it yet. There is good news, however, in that Wilkes will soon hegin the construction of a new parking lot. Until this happens, the prohlem of parking will continue to affect many commuters. �SEPTEMBER 16, 1993 THE BEAC Ambassadors (co ntinue d from Page I ) he lp w ith the recruitment process at the university. According to the group's plan , these student amhassadors wou ld he responsihlc for manning the campus tour system , visiting loca l high schools with th e admissions staff, and representing the student hody at alumn i ac tivities or special campus events.

I DS I I I While many ofus on The Beacon staff are 4uite outspoken hold firm opinions on controversial suhjects, as a collecunit, the members of The Beacon endorse neither side of troversial issue in the pages of the paper. As a newspaper, not our place to have such collective views or to convey al opinions to the public in the news section of our paper. ·such as endorsing candidates go against the grain of our al code as journalists. We are simply a neutral observer recorder of the facts. We do, however, value the freedom of speech and of the . This is quite different. All organizations, businesses, individuals should and do have the right to voice their ion. This fact is a fundamental right of every American. Americans may express their beliefs in many ways and one U.:m is through the use of paid advertisements in newspa.It is the questioning of this right by a community member prompts me to write this editorial. Irt:cently received a letter from the Director of the Wyog Valley Chapter of the Human Life Resow:c~ ~ent~r ing "I was sorry to see the ad for the ahortion clime 111 this pt. 21 edition. Knowing what an upstanding university llkes is, I am appalled to think they would take blood money part of their ads." First of all, this advertisement was simply a contractual ment between two business entities. The clinic inquired tad space just like any other place of husiness who was rested in placing an advertisement in our paper would. The ntown Women's Center has as much right to advertise in paper as the Subway store does. The Wyoming Valley apter of the Human Life Resource Center would have the right if it inquired ahout advertising in our paper. Secondly, running an ad and advocating an issue are two erent things. Nowhere in the September 2 issue orthe paper The Beacon staff advocate either side of the abortion pule. It is against our ethical code at The Beacon to orseeither side of an issue. In fact, we have a wide range opinions when it comes to controversial issues and it's otful that we could ever agree on one aspect of an issue to orse. As for our readers, it is up_to them to form their own inion on certain matters from the facts we print. Jask you all to open your minds and take advantage of the • om ofspecch guaranteed to us all hy the First Amendment the Bill of Rights. As for people like the director of the yoming Valley center, I hope you can understand our position and respect us for our ethical code rather than condemn us for your own opinions. By MICHAEL BUTCHKO News Editor Well, another week, another pint of blood, so to speak. The national scale sees perhaps the greatest development in international relations since the Camp David Peace Accord, at least when the topic or discussion i~ the Midd~e Ea~t. _Mm~day's meeting in Washington brought all the political luminaries to the lore. All ol the ltvmg former presidents were there, giving the event a historical feel. Call me a skeptic, but the chatter I hear just isn't sure. . What we are dealing with is a relationship based on hostility and fighting. Do you , Sil' or madam reader, think that a document signed in a country the Palestinians despise will carry any weight? Upon the signing, will the residents of the Gaza Strip put down their weapons and embrace the treaty? For all pmties involved, l certainly hope so. Retired General H. Norman Schwarzkopf was a guest on the nationally syndicated "Imus in the Morning" radio show on Monday . His main comment was that Chairman Ararat "wasn't exactly the type of guy you want to buy a used car from." Way to call them as you see them, General. Now to the tmly pe1tinentissues of the week. I feel compelled to respond to my fellow Beacon columnist Joseph Rae who last week took great delight in the New York Mets being in seventh place. Well, Mr. Rae, I hope you enjoy this year. As a matter or fact, on behalf of all the ~ets fans, I hope you enjoy the four-game sweep the Phillies will sutler to the Atlanta B_raves. It they get that far, that is. Can anybody say 1964, the year when the Phillies blew a lead 111 September to the Cardinals? If the Phillies should succumb to the Expos, and don't we al I pray that they do, then I suggest a mascot change: from the Fanatic to the Choking Yellow Dog. P.S., Joe : the Mets won 108 games in 1986, and no one has touched it ever since . Think your hoys will get close? Think again. And speaking of sp01ts: who told you that the Braves would sprint past the Giants? Yes, Sp01ts Illustrated offered me a job, but I respectfully decline~. . Wilkes football is 1-0. Personally, I think these guys are gomg to surpnse a great many people this year. But what do I know? , . .. . The response to last week's column about my run-in with the friendly law ol11cer was mixed, to say the least. The most inspirational comment was, "He shm1ld've thrown the book at you!" These are my friends? . Besides the meeting oflsrael and the P.L.0. in Washington, this has heen a pretty 4u1et new~ week. Maybe I'm in the mood for some scandal. We weren't finished with that Rostenkowsk1 fellow, were we? The new surgeon general of the United States, Joycelyn Elders, is married to the wi_nningest high school basketball coach in Arkansas history. I think that's a good enough reason tor a vote to confirm, isn' it? In honor of the slow news week , I offered the services or Seymour Butz to the local Times Leader for a proposed editorial on women's rights and why they shouldn't exist. Sur risin 1 , they turned me down. The absolute nerve of some people.

In an interview with Pro- fessor Brad Wright, director of theater, he explained the importance or the productions at Wilkes. 'The plays that we do are really our lahorntories for learning.

He went on to explain the gaged, and engaging, very talented, and very exciting. " And that they are since the theater department is cmTently running two shows in sucession. The first show "Charlie's Aunt" opens October 30.

Ask Wright to desc1ihe the theater department and he will tell you "active, involved, en- heart-;. However, things go awry when the aunt shows up. The second show to open on November 4 is "Antigone," a classical Greek tragedy. The Wilkes players will be perfonning a new translation of this classical piece which will make it more easily understandable to the audience without losing the beauty of the poetry. With these shows sitting on opposite ends of the spectrum, it becomes necessary for the de- partment to he very diversified. The department has this talent in their nine returning students, 11 freshmen, and two transfer students. For those or you who have seen a production at Wilkes, you are aware or the highqualityperfonnances. High standards are kept by W1ight and John Swanson, who try to instill these standards in their students. Wright stated "We really love what we do and ir we can lead hy example in that way, it is very important and exciting, and also very fun for us." This spirit can easily he found in the students. Joe Ramus, a junior, explained, "I love acting, I love theatre, it's what I've always wanted to do." Junior E1ica Newhcrt also displays high standards. Newhert says, "Theater is rny life, it is what I have always done ... I would like to sec the department get bigger and it woukLhe really nice if we could get some more money from the administration. We only get enough money each year for what we would like to do ror one show. If we could get more money, we could do higger and better things. We could do musicals, which is what I think the students would like to see.'' The students really enjoy hcing in their department and enjoy gaining all the necessary ski Ils needed for after graduation. Senior Jaimee Kutz already has ajoh as general manager or the Northern Lights Playhouse 111 Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. "Wilkes was a very well rounded learning experience for me in the theater. I worked a lol in the technical area lights, sound, set, and special effects ... and now it has lead to a full time opportunity. Wilkes did that ror me.''

Arter a short intermission, Dylan was introduced . . He appeared onstage in a blue shirt, black vest and black pants, clutching an acoustic guitar with a harmonica rack hanging around his neck. His four piece hacking hand was the same contingent that hacked him last year at the Kirby Center. Dy Ian's portion of the show was divided into three parts. The opening electric set included classic Dylan songs such as "Stuck Inside or Mohile with theMemphisBlues,""All Along the Watchtower," "Silvio,'' and "Every Grain or Sand." The four song acoustic set came next. In this, he included a version or his classic, "It's Al I Over Now, Bahy Blue,'' with a great hannonica solo. Arter this, Dylan once again strapped on his clcct1ic guitar for a run through or "God Knows" from the 1990 alhum, Under the Red Sky, and a very fast version of"Maggie' s Farm" which ended the show.

But instead of permission they got re primanded for.according to Commission memher Bill Lisman, "not asking prior permissi on fo r the commencement or their project.'' "This is a new step we have never encounte red befort:," said Dr. Christopher Breiseth, president , Wilkes University, "and it is a nuisance."

"We own )8 buildings, most of which were built before 1920," said Breiseth, "to say we're destroying the historical value of the downtown is absurd." According to Breiseth, it was illogical to renovate the building that they had torn down on South Franklin Street. "It would cost something like $350,000 to make it safe, and we offered it to anyo ne who wanted to take it off its fo undation and move it and th at we would contribute to the moving whatever it would cost us to demolish it. There were no takers ." said Breiseth .

"Wilkes University has a good working relationship with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area colleges ," says Emory Guffrovich , Dean of Admissions at Wilkes University, which is one reason why s~udents are able to transfer into Wilkes. According Lo Gullrnvich, when prospective Wilkes students have their initial meeting with the Wilk.cs admission orficers they find out what credits are likely to transfer just from working with an unofficial transcript. Being told up front what they can expect from Wilkes is a plus, according toGuffrovich . Over half of the students transfering into Wilkes are from the local two year institutions .

My sister and I always be at each others throats.) uscollege students, however, the most common forms ry arc between our different colleges and our sports Wilkes University has many rivals , but none of them are gas our rivalry wilh King's College down the street. nvalry has been going on since the very beginning . re have been jokes, rumours, wins and losses between and King's in the past. However, there has been one v~ interaction between us and that was the mixer that last Friday night. This mixer brought us together and us the opportunity to get to know one another. Lets face was Lhe last time you got the chance or took the chance with a King's person? though many students showed up at the King's gym to our Colonels basketball team in the past, that was a friendly environment. I think the mixer was a success it gave us a chance to meet the students . What many don't realize is that it isn't the individual students Ives that we are rivaling with. It is more like the ing rights." In other words , by winning or striving ahead as a school we gain the right to say that we are a better . So this makes the rivalry more of one for school ity than one against Wilkes or King's students. was just informed that sta1ting in November, Wilkes is to play their first football game against Kings in 50 ' This will undoubtedly add to the rivalry . It is the first King's has had a varsity team and it is going to create a hell lot more tension for sports. (Even though we know who win!) There, that is a perfect example of the rivalry I'm gto. Although we will never extinguish the rivalry , we re able Lo understand what it is all about.

First, the grand plan for Wilkes' sprint into the 21st century has been slightly delayed. But that issue is covered at length in this week's issue. No, what concerns me this week is fruit. Grapes , specifically. And sour ones at that. · In this case, the produce depmtment is King's , and the manager is the "John Doe" who first raised the stink last week about the Wilkes University basketball program . Until anyone knows the full story, and I doubt anyone ever will, I will refer to the complainer as John Doe. Mr. Doe believes that ce1tain members of our men's basketball team are academically ineligible to play . These accusations were made without any type of proof. But why should that stop anyone? The bottom line is this: Coach Jerry Rickrode has built a winning, dean program. When Wilkes-Barre's other college was so successful in the late 1980s, no questions were raised about their team . Now the shoe is on Wilkes' foot which happens to be planted firmly in the buttocks of King's College on the basketball court, and there are accusations? Grow up. And until there is a single piece of evidence, get over it. Whatever happened to this "bearing false witness against thy neighbor" stuff? Appearing in bookstores this winter, Under the Tarnished Bell Tower: The Unautlwriz.ed Story <~t Wilkes Basketball. ' Someone alert Coach DeMelfi : start losing as soon as possible, or you' 11 be accused of paying players. Or buying them cars. Obviously he doesn't listen; if you had Lebanon Valley and fo1ty points in your office pool, you lost. You do realize that if Boris ,y eltsin is president of Wilkes, the whole staff is out the door tomorrow. In today's want ads : Now accepting applications for the position of member of the Russian parliament. Must have experience in dealing with intoxicated leader. I saw Bmis' press conference, and all I thought was, "I hope that's tea he's sipping ." But I still figured it was Vodka. President Clinton spoke to Yeltsin on the phone on Tuesday. After the conversation, Bill cleaned house in Cabinet. He thought it might be cool. Sorry to be going so soon, but someone has to cover the story that Coach Rickrode is tainting the water to make his players grow. Or maybe Tags can take care of it. But if King's says it, the n it must be true . . That's all for this now. And yes, we will continue our chat next week. !:This Wee k i n History Compiled By the Wilkes University History Club Septem her 25, 1925-Union of Soviet Socialist Republies decrees that all people of the working classes between the ages ofl9-40mustserveinthemilitary .

If you did pick choice "C," don't despair. It doesn't make you sexist, no matter what Pat1icia Ireland says. Women frequently accuse men of, ah, how do you say, not making the greatest eye contact. Or, as that snappy little Amanda puts it: "My eyes are up here!" So maybe we have a problem. Maybe we treat women as nothing more than sex objects. Maybe our behavior is so morally reprehensible that men as a species should be condemned and branded until the end of the line. Maybe not. I have one word for all you gentlemen: accountability. Or lack thereof. The trend in society is to blame others for your own actions. Far be it for me to break a trend. It is not our fault that we view women this way. It is society's fault. . Take television. Not mine, I mean TV is general. The commercials which grace our sets send one loud message - sex sells. From alcohol to cars, women are used as sales pitches for va1ious products. What have we learned? That women are just another possession, or even worse, ornaments which do nothing more than enhance the inanimate oqjects they attempt to sell. Even to Seymour, that's sick. So in a serious end to a trembling topic, let's hope that advertising executives lay off the sex-sells mentality. Right now, it fails to treat women as what they are: beautiful, yet often misguided, human beings. Until that time, this attitude, unfortunate though it may he, will persist. No matter what he says, that's just the bottom line. WILK.E'S CIRCLE K'S Live DANCE MARATHON Bands WITH Q102 THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Free 7P.M. TO 7 P.M.

Their studies extended over 11 years resulting in three major publications. The last publication was p1inted in 1963 and was submitted to the Surgeon General. In response to this new information, the Surgeon General appointed a committee in order to investigate further. Four years later, the Surgeon General placed warnings about cigarettes causing lung cancers on all cigarette wrappers. However, Dr Auerbach's studies did not end there. He is presently studying the affects smokinghasonemphysema. He lectured on the subject Monday evening. He said "emphysema are holes in the lung that affect the walls of the air-sacks. They are scarred and they rupture the walls of the air-sacks. When you have enlarged air sacs that is when you have emphysema." He went on to say," If I had an alternative, if I had to die of lung cancer gr emphysema, I think I'd be better off dying from lung cancer, because it goes by so fast." Dr. Auerbach explained that a person suffering from emphysema goes through stages. At first the patient discovers difficulty in running, then walking up stairs, next walking, until he/ she is finally confined to a wheelchair. At the final stage of emphysema, the patient is considered a lungc1ipple. Finally, the air sacs are unable to expand and the walls rupture which can cause serious problems. I would like to thank Dr. Oscar Auerbach, on behalf of the student body for all of the time and effort he put into his studies, and also for speaking at Wilkes. Dr Auerbach is entering his 89th year of life, and is still working hard to preserve it. ---- WILKES - BARREFriends, students, peers, and members of the community gathered at the Sordoni Art Gallery on the Wilkes University campus for a reception recently to see a new view of the Wyoming Valley. Herb Simon's exhibit, "Places and Things:Sculpture and Drawings 1987-1933," on display at the Sordoi1i Art Gallery through Octoher 3rd, includes repr~sentations of places from the region as well as common items,altered to present a new point of view. The exhibit represents a new direction for Simon's work which has been p1imarily ahstract. "In any direction an artist follows certain things are gained, others lost," Simon said. "The play of fonnal relationships ... has been followed hy sculptures and drawings in which memory, nostalgia, the absurd, the bizarre, the humorous and the self-referential have been given scope." Professor Eme1iti at Wilkes University, Simon attended New York University where he earned both Bachelor of Arts and Master of ArLs; degrees. He has studied at the Hans Hofmann Art School and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Since joining the Wilkes faculty in 1969, Simon has taught sculpture-and three-dimensional design as part or the University's Art Department. His work has been included in numerous invitational solo and group shows. Simon's metal sculptures have been acquired for public spaces in WilkesB arre, Harrishurg,and Bethlehem.

Free T-shirts were given away to the first 150 students who walked through the door. The T-shirts were donated by the Wilkes University and King's CollegtStudent Government organizations. Bob Loftus ofWKRZ 98.5 FM provided the music for this non-alcoholic party. Loftus gave away numerous prizes, including eight $25 cash prizes donated by Wilkes' and King's Student Governments . There was also plenty of po- tato chips, pretzels, and snacks. Bartenders were serving va1ious mocktails to party goers throughout the night. At the door, each student received ~ither a nut or a bolt. I thought the point of taking a nut or bolt was to see who you matched up with in order for students from the two schools to interact. The only problem with this was that the people giving out the nuts and bolts didn't specify which sex got which hardware. Overall the party was a hit. I saw many people mixing and having fun . I met a lot of people myself, from King's and Wilkes.

The two first joined forces to create the 1977 classic Bat Out Of Hell (which hy 1987 sold over 7 million copies in the United States alone) and then Deadringer in 1981. The cover is fantastically drawn and has the same man on the flying motorcycle that bursts out of the graveyard (ll1 the cover of the first album. This time, however, the motorcycle 1ider is flying toward a gigantic hat in order to save a winged beauty in what looks to he a nightmarish version of New York city. Written, produced, and arranged hy Steinman, there are 11 songs which take up a full 75 minutes. The first single, 'T d Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That),'' takes up a whole 12 minutes on the al hum and is hy far the best song, putting the much shorter radio version to shame. It begins with what sounds like a motorcycle engine and ends with a beautiful exchange between Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler. At one point she says, "Will you make me some magic with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?" to which Meat Loaf responds, "I can do that!" But when she says that it won't he long before he cheats on her, he says "I won't do that!" The other songs are also well written and performed. Steinman' s use of cliches for titles such as "It Just Won't Quit," "Objects In The Rear View Mirror ·May Appear Closer Than They Are", and "Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)" are also well done. His lyrics are vivid and filled with imagery. For example, there is the scene he creates for "Out Of The Frying Pan": "So wander down the ancient hallway ... taking the stairs only one at a time. Follow the sound of my heartbeat now. I'm at the room at the top, you' re at the end of the line." The fact that the songs are so long ("Objects" goes for 10 minutes) is a nice change from the usual three to four minute tracks that dominate the charts today. Praises can ' t he sung for every track on the album . The instrumental "Back Into Hell" isn't very exc1t111g and Steinman' s dialogue in "Wasted Youth" may he initating to some.

In the Interactive Music Video, participants were even able to watch themselves model designer fashions or play baseball for their favorite team. Students were able to take home copies of themselves in semi-music stardom. With props like guitars, wigs, and costumes, some videos really came to life. Popcorn and soda were provided by the Physics Club. There were mixed opinions to the virtual reality expected on campus. According to Chris McMahon ., "It was just videos supetimposed on a blue screen, instead of actual interaction with the computer." However, Wayne McDonnell, a Wilkes senior, seemed to enjoy lip-syncing to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Said McDonnell, "I never did it before.

Letter to the Editor itor: nguage. es October takes a liJtle more to be the King [or] Queen. CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO News Editor It seems that every morning, the news is repented. Two wounded in Florida. It_ ~eems that with each passing day, human life becomes cheaper. Fifteen year-old dead after drive-by shooting. But nothing changes. _For the past w_eek, I have subjected myself to awakening to the daily news report 011 the radio. For the entire week, the first news story has not been the Russian Parliament's Wacolike barricade, or the President's push for health care. It is meaningless death. ~he ~itu~tion in Florida is despicable. But it appears that killing tourists is the latest in Florida fasluon. And no end is in sight. But guns don't kill people, people do, right? We have a fundamental right to stockpile assault weapons, and then when someone irritates us, our fundamental right is to blow them away . While watching "The Sportswriters on TV" the other night, I learned two things : 1) In 1991, there wer~ ro~ghly one dozen shootings in Great Britain. (yes, the whole country) and 2) The number (~f ~h~ldren n~urdered by gunfire in the city of Chicago as of September 1993 e4 uals Great Bntam s total for 1991. Remember, in Britain, not even police carry guns. Something had better be done. And fast . There's something happenin' here. What it is ain't exactly clear. Now to the chatter. Tapping this week's news: Wilkes football is 3-0. That's all you need to know. Speaking of sports, I'm only going to say this once: Braves vs the White Sox in the World Series. For you Phillies fans, I'll say it once more and slower. And oh yeah, the White Sox in seven games. So now it appears the U.S. is getting involved in Bosnia. What took so long? Or does the U .N. have different mles for African nations (read: Somalia) than it does for European nations? Just curious. The Russian parliament is holed up in a building and I'm thinking: call Janet Reno, she's got exp_e1tise in this. If they need something to force the parliament out of the building, I've got a good idea. Blast audio tapes of the 20/20 interview with that women who performed, uh, well, surgery on her husband. Usually that gets men running in all directions. I mean, wow, that's rough . Kay Bailey Hut~hinson, the Republican who replaced new Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd Bensen as senator from Texas, was just indicted on charges of misconduct. She is the second Republican senator under indictment, along with Dave Durenherger. The Grand Old Party has some problems. So this is my punishment for picking on Rotenkowski two weeks ago. I leave you with the newest rnmor: Rupert Murdoch, after breaking the New York Post in half, has decided to buy Wilkes. I don't know about you hut I'm going on strike . That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. ·tly what qualities should Wilkes University's HomeKing and Queen possess? iththis being Homecoming Week here at Wilkes, many of ywant to ask yourselves this question, especially if you ding which nominees to choose for king and queen. queen: Should she be pretty?

By SEYMOUR BUTZ By AMANDA HUGINKIS Before I begin my tirade on the latest battle of the sexes issue, I must protest. As Shakespeare wrote, "The chauvinist doth protest too much," or something to that effect. Well, I must protest. The thought provoking beginning to last week's column was my own little way of giving a proper introduction to thesis. my eventual ed both When I viewmy column and mindAmanda' s b y less twaddle sidethat her side, I noticed same piece had the intro as mine. Coincidence? Pardon me, Latoya Jackson, but I don ' t think so. Amanda stole my idea and used it for herself. This is applicable to this week topic: the ending of relationships. Amanda has to learn that men and women do not do everything the same way. Just because women do things one way does not mean it is correct. Actually, it is usually the opposite. Gentlemen, a scenario: you are dating this female for two or three months when you decide you no longer wish to see her because you have decided that her presence causes you headaches, heartburn, and some intestinal gas. So you treat her like a case of intestinal gas: if you ignore her, maybe she will go away. Besides, you don't want to damage the poor sow's self-esteem by going to her and saying, "Sorry, dear but you give me intestinal gas." You let the relationship fade like overwashed clothes. Not Amanda. If she decides that it's all over, she has to articulate her heartfelt yet simple feelings on paper. It would go something like this: Dear Seymour: I'm s01Ty that we can't see each other anymore. Although I know I'll never do any better, I need a change. Thanks for all you've bought me. You '11 never see it again. Luv, Amanda Please note that the "i" in again would be dotted with a heart. What it all boils down to is that men think women are smart enough to know when it's over. WRONG! Women think men are too dumb to know anything. Still debatable. But when it comes to communication of an ending, men don't need to see "The End." But women still do. Remember, when you read her side, that He Said it first. Now if you'll excuse me, Amanda's given me intestinal gas again. Well, well, it's obvious that Seymour has been burned in the past by a maiden, and probably rightfully so. Ot]].erwise, what would be the reason for scathing remarks in this week's column? ilkes Universit) Poor Seymour, take heart, because every guy gets the boot at least once. while you may have gotten a "Dear John" letter, or worse yet, a cold starefrom y ts recently nomi 22 seniors to bt girl's new (or old) beau, it shouldn't be the end of the world. In other words, over it, you poor sap and stop blaming the rest of the female population for oneg· mecoming Court g and queen wil mistake (or in Seymour's scenario, a smart move). sen during half Secondly, if she's such a sow why are you seeing her, Seymour?

Or worse Adomiak, New they have a f1iend tell you. I have a feeling this lack of communication on a guy's part stems from alley, NJ, major bi ology; Jane issues. One, guys still believe that showing any type of emotion makes them Warrington, ma of a man. In order to remain macho they say nothing. (At least this keeps t looking intelligent.) Secondly, guys don 't want to admit that they have no idea they're breaking up in the first place or that they may have been at least half maj oring in com problem. (In case you haven't noticed this lack of responsibility on the pa Gai males has been mentioned two weeks in a row-it's developing into a trend w Wes means that the "sex" issue probably isn 't far off.) When the fair Amanda decides that it's time to move on to greener($$ pastures, however, she accomplishes this in the most sensitive way possible. either bums all of the gifts ever received from her prince (which is why Seymo gifts were never returned) or she writes a long, elaborate letter to her ex-love. as Seymour says, to say it's over, but to list in excruciating detail all the flaws her former love so that he can work them out in counseling or drown them in a In other words, a women's purpose for writing a "Dear John" letter is not to let down easy but to make you feel like a worthless peon for ruining the best thing ever had. The reason behind all of this is that women are more in touch with their fee· and therefore, are sure of what they're doing. Guys, on the other hand, aren' t sure of why they're breaking up. Does the old line "It's not you, it's me" so familiar? Or how about, 'Tm going through a selfish phase right now?" So while I do kn9w, Seymour, that men and women do things differently, again, women do it better. We call when we say we will. We keep our pro and we never complain about who said what first. However, just in case haven't noticed, while what He Said may be first, she gets the final word. HE SAID Organized Anarchy By OSEPltRAE olumnist Without a doubt, the fut ire of the Clinton presidency depends on the outcome of the health care issue that now rests efore the nation. Refonning "n industry that consists of nearly one-sixth of the Ame1ioan economy with the most s · gnificant social legislation sjnce the New Deal will not be a simple task: industry lobby- ists, doctor and patient advocates and factions will be just three of the countless participants that will battle for their "turn" in the new Clinton healthcare plan. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of the healthcare issue is how it will play politically both in the Congress and in the media. The Democrats, since the election of Han-is Wofford to the Senate of 1991 , haveowned the health care iss ue, while the Republicans, on the other hand are torn over the issue. The impact that reform will l1ave will divide many natural Republicans allies, with big business supporting the Clinton plan and small business nervous over the impact of payroll taxes and employee mandates. In my opinion, the key to ear! ~f s•f l £ ~ S)Zl_J'IJ "winning" the battle will be to control the rhetoric. The Democrats need to emphasize that without reform ,job creation, and deficit reduction will be impossible, and the only hope the Republicans have is to hammer away at specific reforms in the plan, such as employer mandates. Hopefully, the Clinton administration learned from the budget debate, where The Republicans f off the unenlightened citize over higher taxes to hamm away at a necessary and b~ anced deficit reduction p gram .

The win gives the Colonels their best start since 1971. and it also makes them 1-0 in the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference) Freedom League. Like last week, Wilkes got off to a quick start when they went 99 yards in nine plays, capped off by Boo PeITy' s one yard run . Upsala came back in the second period, after a Wilkes fumble, to take an 8-7 lead early in the second quarter. However , the Colonels came back before halftime when they marched 57 yards in eight plays. Perry hit Steve Endres with a 15 yard scoring pass . The point after was good giving Wilkes a 14-8 half time lead. The Colonels opened the third quarter by driving 75 yards in seven plays, capped off by Ryan Alston's 26 yard touch- Colonel of the Week down run. The point after was no good for a 20-8 third quarter lead. Upsala would get on the board again in the third, but then Wilk es kicker Joel O ' Donnell hit a 38 yard field goal, en route to the 23-14 final score. Offensively for the Colonels,running back Jason Smith rushed for a season high 116 yards on 31 carries, while Alston rushed for 79 yards on a touchdown on just three carries. Perry continued his strong performance by completing 13 of 26 for 196 yards and one touchdown. On the receiving end, Endres had a big day with six catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Once again, the Colonel defense came up big, holding the high powered Upsala offense to just 157 total yards. Leading the defense was linebacker Mark Buss, who recc,rded 13 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. For his perfonnance, Buss was named MAC and ECAC (Easte rn College Athle · C onference) player of week. Also on defense, M McCree had nine tack! while Jake Cole added ei tackles and 2.5 sacks, · Chris Carr had seven tac and a fumble recovery.

By ERICA KRAMER Sports Writer Coach Barrera's positive attitude finally paid off on Saturday, whenheandhisclub traveled for a face-off against Centenary. The Wilkes University Women's Soccer team won its first game, 3-0, since October 9, 1991. "It was just a matter of time until we got our first win out of the way," said head coach BaITera. "We tried from the beginning to improve our team game by game and it finally showed. It was a total team victory." Jen Svelnys, an aspiring freshman, had an impressive game with two goals and one assist. Tina Hite also had a goal and Karen Pastula had an assist. This week Tanya Daigle and Michelle Shaffer shared time in the goal. Both played well by not allowing a goal to be scored. With this huge win, the Lady Colonels record has improved to 1-5. However, Coach BaITera is optimistic that this will not be their last win. He commented, "With a new coach and new players it can be rough . We've asked the players to take on certain roles and do responsible things. The players have become more confident in themselves, and more comfortable with my system." Due to the weather, the women ' s soccer game against King's was postponed. However, the Lady Colonels will be in action on Saturday at Drew. The game starts at l :00 p.m . The Beacon salutes the 1968 Wilkes College Colonels Undefeated MAC Champions Lambert Bowl Winner "Timmie" Aw~rd Outstanding Small College Football Team of the Year �PAGE 12 SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 SPORTS Colonels to host Del Val in homecoming game WILKES-BARREAfteraseasonopeningroad hip which saw stops in Plymouth, NH, Annville, PA; and East Orange, NJ, the Wilkes University Colonels will finally come home on Saturday and face the Delaware Valley Aggies. Kickoff time, for the Homecomingcontest,isset for l :00 p.m. at Ralston Field in Edwardsville. Wilkes 1s currently ranked seventh in the Lambert/Meadowlands Poll and 26th in Don Hansen's Football Gazette Poll. The Colonels, 3-0 for the first time since 1971, will look to start 4-0 for the first time since 1968. That year the Colonels went 8-0 on their way to the winning the Lambert Bowl and the "Timmie" from the Washington Touchdown Club as the Outstanding Sm all College Football Team of the Year. Wilkes is coming off a 2314 win over Upsala College last Saturday, a game in which the Colonels held the high powered Viking offense to just 157 yards in total offense. Linebacker Mark Buss led Wilkes with 13 tackles, had a fumble recovery, and an interception and won the "big double", the Middle Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as well as the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III South Defensive Player of the Week. , "Our defense has played great all year," said Wilkes coach Joe DeMelfi. "They really worked hard to contain [Upsala quarterback Leroy] Williams and keep him in the pocket." Also having solid days on defense were Mike McCree who had nine tackles, Jake Cole who had eight tackles and 2.5 sacks, and Chris Carr who had seven tackles and a fumble recovery. For the year the Colonels are allowing just 178 yards in total offense, tops in the MAC. On offense, the Colonels got another big day from tailback Jason Smith who rushed for 116 yards on 31 carries. Smith is now tied with Cann en Lo Presto (' 77-' 80) for second all-time at Wilkes in yards rushing with 2,195 and needs just 67 5 to break the school mark of 2869 held by Ted Yeager ('68-'71). Quarterback Boo Perry was 13-26 for 196 yards with Steve Endres catching six passes for 130 yards and a TD. Endres earned a spot on the ECAC Division III South Honor Roll for his performance against Upsala. Endres is now just 25 catches shy of the school re.ceiving record held by Anthony Di Grazia(' 84-' 87) and 68 yards shy of breaking the school receiving yards of 2188 by DiGrazia. While Endres was having a good day catching the ball, flanker Ryan Alston was having a big day as well. Alston had 143 all purpose yards for the Colonels, including a 26 yard touchdown run. "We need to continue to work hard on scoring inside the 20," said DeMelfi. "We had several opportunities and failed to cash in on those chances. That will be a major area of work this week in practice." While the Colonels are 30, DeMelfi does not want the team to get swept up in the hoopla. "We need to work hard each week, because as soon as you let up in the MAC, that's when you will get beat," DeMelfi commented. "Just because Delaware Valley is 03 does not mean we can work any less than we have in the first three weeks. They (Delaware Valley) are not going to roll over just because we won a few games. They want to win as much we do." The Aggies, under head coach Bill Manlove, are coming off a 33-10 loss to Lebanon Valley last weel In that game the Aggies Jell 10-6 in the second period but gave up 27 stt·aightpoin~ over the final two and a half periods. For the year the Aggies are giving up 407 yards a game while gaining just 190 a game on offense. Quarterback Ray Savage is 22 of 47 for 227 yards yards, four interceptions and one TD. His fav01ite target is Denick Nonis who has seven catches for 44 yards and a TD. On the ground Delaware Valley isled by Savage who has rushed for 94 yards on 38 carries and has on TD.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt began in San Francisco in June 1987 when Cleve Jones spray painted his friend Marvin Feldman's name onto a piece of cloth the size of a grave. This was Jones' way of making people understand the overwhelming loss and frustration affecting him and many of his friends. Soon after, thousands of people from across the U.S. and around the world expressed their emotions by creating homemade memorials from those they lost to AIDS. The NAMES Project Foundation, the group in charge of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, displays po1tions of the Quilt worldwide in order to illustrate the enormity of the AIDS epidemic by showing the humanity behind the statistics, provide a positive and creative means of expression for those whose lives have been touched by the epidemic, and encouraging support for people living with the HIV infection or AIDS . Any money raised from the Quilt display at Wilkes will be equally distributed to the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council and the Wyoming Valley Dmg and Alcohol Service Incorporated. This is just one activity during AIDS Awareness Week. tile photo Marts Center dedicated By GINA M. TAGNANI News Editor The main function of the Development Office is to raise money. The office decided that a good way to recognize the people who donated money to the university was to hang a plaque in their honor in different areas of the Marts Center. Early in the campaign, the Development Office got a floor plan of the Marts Center and gave it to the donors with various minimum donations slated for each section of the building. The floor plan is complete and the areas have all been dedicated. "It's a way for us to show how much we appreciate the gifts that we receive," said Tom Hadzor, vice-president of Development. The Development Office intends to do this with the new buildings that are still in the planning stages and have already done so with Stark Learning Center, Evans Hall and the library. Hadzor added that it is up to the students at Wilkes to carry on the tradition of helping the university after they graduate. "Give back whatever you can. Whether it's $.5 or volunteer services, it will all be needed and appreciated," said Hadzor. umber of adult learners on campus is growing DY KENDIG & GINA M.

NEWS *Freshmen class SG elections * General meeting, SLClOl, Oct. 11, 4 p.m. * Nominations Oct. 15 by 5p.m. *Open Forum, Nov 16, SLC 101, l l-110011 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Did you ever go to the Wilkes University cafeteria with a gigantic appetite after along, hard day of classes, look at the food, and then think to yourself, " Just exactly what is that?" Well, if you ' re answer is "yes," you 're not alone. I sometimes feel the same way. I have nothing against t11e cafeteria, but sometimes the food it serves isn' t always appealing to the senses of the sight and taste. An alternative to forcing the undesirable down your throat would be to go to the SUB (a.k.a. The Snack Bar), located on t11e first floor of the Conyngham Student Center. The SUB provides a larger v,ll'iety of food unlike t11e cafeteria. So you ,U'e bound to find something you like . The SUB is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. for break- fast, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch, and 5:00 to *:00 p.m. for dinner. Keep in mind that the Sub closes at 2:30 p.m. on Fridays. So remember, the next time your mind poses the question, "Just exactly what is tlrnt?," you can answer wisely by telling yourself to eat at the Sub today. Dear Editor : I once heard t11at a person's identity is defined by the sum of his actions. I can not identify with this because all of my life I have been repressing my actions to personify an image tlrnt is not me. I have learned at an early age that my identity would not be accepted in everyday society and in my normal surroundings. The idea that identity can change is unknown to me because I have always known, in some way or another, that I was gay . Being gay is who I am, it is my life. But, is that really my identity or just one small part of it? Can my identity change within time or will I have a static personality and life? Different events in my life lead me to believe tllat I will always be gay and pressure will not change tlrnt. When I look in t11e past, I can remember always having an attraction to men. At the time I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. I would look at the television and see tlle norm or heterosexual Ii ves. It wasn't until I was about eleven that I began to realize tliat I was different from everyone else. I began to look at the world in a different way and was always CcU'eful not to disclose my feelings to anyone. Later on, ,ll'ound the age of fifteen or sixteen, I began to hurt, not physically but emotionally. I am now eighteen ye,U's old and I've come to a conclusion, I am not going to deny myself of an identity. I am gay and I am happy with myself. Here at Wilkes I found a group tliat is understanding of my feelings . I am comfortable knowing tllat t11ere ,U'e others like me, my peers in particulcu·, because tlley are tlle ones that can understand what I went through the most. You don't have to be alone! Do not deny yourself of who you ,U'e just because you tllink that otllers will judge you. I know tllat it is not easy to discover who is "like you ," but when you finally do, trust me when I say you will feel a feeling unknowE before. That feeling is a comforting feeling and I gu,mmtee that you will feel at home. I know I have and for t11at I t11ank you Charlie. Anonymous Dear Editor: This letter is one that should have been printed in the last issue of The Beacon before the shortened summer break of 1993 ... The issue which I have to bring up is the fact that Wilkes students in comparison to most local area colleges, had t11ree less weeks of summer tllan everyone else . For example, in comp,U"ison to King's -Wilkes' final exam took3 days longer (9 days versus 6) and ended 2 weeks later - Wilkes. instead of starting classes on a Monday for the Fall semester, starts classes the Wednesday before. -Wilkes goes back to class a week later than King's after Christmas break What does t11is equal . A staggering loss of three weeks worth of paychecks. We pay the same amount of money (if no t more) for a college education and we get three weeks less worth of break! Why? Perhaps it is to accommodate a facu lty and staff pay raise. Though the administration can try to cover up everything with the intercession and other things ., the fact remains : When you're at Wilkes, you're getting paid to be there tllose three extra weeks. When we ,the students, ,U'e not at our summer jobs and are victims of poorly ,mw1ged scheduling, we are not getting paid! One extra week of Christmas break should not snowball into a three week loss of summer break! I am not mentioning this merely for the sake of copying King's. I am mentioning this because if King's can get along with their classes with their scheduling met11ods, tllen we should do the same as well! No Wilkes student wants to continue to be financially deprived hy losing not only three weeks wortll of paychecks, but also unemployment benefits!' You will be very h,U'dpressed to find tlrnt a Wilkes student in tllis day and age who can afford to sit on his butt t11e whole summer and not work to help pay for college expenses. In addition to tllese t11ree lost paychecks Wilkes students ,U'e not eligible for unemployment benefits. i tried. However, thanks to our admi nistration and their scheduling prowess, we were only granted 14 weeks of summer when the minimum number of weeks one must work to collect unemployment is 16! So tllere you have it fellow students-At Wilkes, you get more of what you don't want and less of what you want for your money. So while the faculty and staff of Wilkes enjoy tlleir three extra weeks of paychecks and paid unemployment benefits we got: - tllree lost weeks of summer rest and paychecks -Denied access to much-needed unemployment benefits (we're financially high and dry and on our own for t11e next nine mont11s thanks to you know who!) Are we going to stand for this'/ I hope not! any student who values three weeks of pay checks and some financial help from tlle government during the Fall and Spring semesters should register tlleir complaints to t11e Dean via the telephone, mail, or in person! Get involved! This is your money tllat the administration has taken from you! Stand up and be counted ! Bob Decker, Jr. Bern,ll'd Seeman �PAGE6 O CTOBER By SEYMOUR BUTZ "You're Driving Me Crazy! '' The movie Driving Miss Daisy is a charming little flick in which the conflict appears to be over race. Upon closer examination, the conflict is once again male vs. female. I know, you're stunned. A woman telling a man what to do? Or even worse, how to drive? No way, dude. Yes, gentlemen, we all drill.

When she's done with this, she will begin to ctiti4ue every single move. It's "You' re going too fast," or "Would you hmTy up; the stores close in 3 hours!" It's also at this point when you wish you could open Amanda's door and push her out of the moving vehicle. Or else take her for one of these Ted Kennedy rides where you go zippidy-do off a bridge and deal with accountability later. But I digress ..... . For a real treat, have Amanda operate the vehicle, but never your vehicle. The first thing she will do is flip down the vanity mirror to view her lovely countenance, oh, about a million times. Why look at the road when I can look at myself? Good Attitude. After avoiding a few thousand accidents, and successful cardiopulmanery resussitation, you realize that you still must travel here with Amanda. My advice: use public transportation! When Amanda and I had our weekly sit-down to discuss our bone of contention, she suggested the issue of dtiving. Someone has to do the thinking for this duo. Anyway, I thought of numerous phrases men use to describe women (e.g. d1iving me crazy, driving me to drink, etc.). Unfortunately for you, the reader, such clever humor has not shone through. To me, women are fine d1ivers. It's just the same as with other issues: keep your suggestions to yourself. Remember what HE SAID, gentlemen : women are why air bags were created. Who's dtiving? It's one of those questions that have males and females ar right up until the minute the car is in motion, or maybe, until it stops. It see neither sex wants to put their life in the hands of the other. (And after all gender problems brought to light in this column, who would blame you'') But driving means different things to the sexes. For females, d1iving is · a means of getting from one place to another.

Even worse, if Seymour's driving, he won't even let the Amanda ask for directions. I have a feeling this stems from the fact that men don't have a clue anyway so being lost is a matter of habit. For females, th' male quirk ranks 1ight up there with not putting the lid down. The real problem with this driving dilemma between the sexes is why guy to get their gal in the car in the first place.

Fortunate enough to find a front row seat, I sat on the 1ight side, in front of the speakers. Not the best seat, but as anyone who has been to a rock concert can attest, not at all bad. The show started promptly at 8 :07 with an announcement of "No flash photography unless you have a media pass. Now please welcome Dennis Blair!" Dennis Blair?! Who was this yo-yo? Well, being a comedy connossier, I sat back with visible skepticism as I prepared to be e ntertained. Photo by RAY MONZON Bevis and Butthead of American Politics, to comparing Bob Dylan to Barney the "Lovable" Dinosaur. Blair was a talented guitar player and an excellent comedian who would have been worth the seven dollars spent, but we were there to see Carlin. After Blair finished, a 10 minute intermission ensued. This gave us a chance to stretch, visit the bathrooms, or buy such items as Carlin tshirts and tapes. As before, the lights disappeared and Carlin ran onto stage, greeted by thunderous applause. It was finally here, the moment I'd waited for for weeks. Carlin was on stage for 80 minutes and his comedy included such topics as abortion, things to do with sales clerks, things that piss him off, mysteries and common experiences that link people together, slams to religion (especially the Pope), his pets, baby boomers, his words that can't be said on television, and his list of alternate terms for male masturbation, numbering in the thirties. He even went so far as to wish death upon the venerable Mickey Mouse. The impression one gets from listening to Carlin for an hour and 20 minutes is he is a man with a good grasp of how this country really works. He is a philosopher who interprets the inner workings of the human psyche, the country, and, on a broader scale, the world. While avid Carlin fans could tell , roughly 80% of Carlin's mate1ial was used before. Even though this material is old, it is still applicable. Carlin is a man that takes his humor to a realm seldom explored. While his humor amuses, it also teac hes. Carlin doesnotencouragesittingidly and watching the world go by. He preaches to leave an imp1int on society. As he said on one of his previous specials, "we' re only around for a little while, so let's take advantage, piss some people off, and leave an impression". Carlin certainly leaves an impression, and is truly one of a kind.

Jack, played man Tom Schurtz, is an trated man faced with the of being in love. His in crime, Charles, Dave sophomore, is a victim of the same. Together they try to find a way to engage their sweethearts, literally. Enter Lord Fancourt Babberly, lovingly refen-ed to as "Babbs," played by BruceCluistian, sophomore. This poor soul, "Babbs," gets suckered into Jack and Charles' scheme. Alas, let us not forget Brassett, Tom Jmmiolowski,junior, whose job of trying to maintain order in this mess, becomes quite humorous. The set of this production, a love child of Director/ Designer Professor John Swanson. The set was incredible. The degree of reality was beyond belief as sets changed from Jack's room to the garden to a drawing room. In the two 15 minute intermissions the transfo1m::ltions occurred. The set changes were quick, orderly, organized and thorough. The production crewwas on the ball. The cast was al.so in good form. Tom Jarmiolowski took his small role as Brassett and turned it into a very humorous charactature of the an-ogant but bored B1itish butler. Bruce Christian, a/k/a "Babbs," a/k/a Charley' s "Aunt," was a wonderful confused buddy thrown into a situation that grows to be out of his control. Senior Heather Petruzelli played her role of Donna Lucia D' Alvadorez with just enough anal-retentiveness mixed with a touch of humor to pull this role off well. Colonel Sir Francis Chesney, Eric Bailey, sophomore, played the concerned fatherofJack, who has themiserable duty of trying to engage Charley's "Aunt" in marriage for "her" money, portrayed this role with the restraint a man in his position should have. Junior JoeRasmusaddedhumoras well with his out of control performanceofStephen Spettigue, the miserable money hungry uncle of Amy, and guardian of Kitty, played by freshmen Justine Caskey and Tara Schurtz repectively. When the lights went down after curtain call at "Charley's Aunt," it is fair to say the audience walked out of the theatre feeling refreshed. This is a light show, full of humor and is enjoyable evening out (and free for Wilkes students.) So this weekend, when you are wondering what to do, impress your date, take him/her to the show. Maybe he/she will think you are a highly cultured-atristically minded person. After all, who has heard of the show "Charley's Aunt?" I personally think you should.

Wilkes will look to make it five straight when it faces Juniata on Saturday in Huntington with a kickoff set for l :30 p.m. The Colonels are currently ranked third in the NCAA Divisi on III South poll, fifth in the Lambert/ Meadowlands poll, and 15th in the Don Hansen Football Gazette poll. Wilkes once again had a super effort from the defense, limiting the Aggies to just 87 yards in total offense. For the year the Wilkes defense is ranked number one in the MAC giving up just 155.2 yards a game (74.0 rushing; 81.2 passing). "We played a super game on defense," said Wilkes coach Joe DeMelfi. "We were able to get a lot of pressure on the quarterback and forced him to hurry his throws. It was a total team effort to limit them to just 87 yards." The shutout, the second of the year for the Colonels, marks the first time since 1968 that the team has posted two shutouts in a season. On defense the Colonels are led by Mike McCree with 42 tackles and LaITy Trakes and Mark Buss with 31 tackles each. Trakes has five sacks and Buss two for the Colonels. Jake Cole has 25 tackles and seven sacks and three forced fumbles to rank fourth while Jason Feese has 24 tackles and two sacks .

The kicking game for the Colonels has improved with Joel O'Donnell hitting on 1014 extra points and four of seven field goals, including a career long 40 yarder against Delaware Valley. Looking ahead to Juniata, DeMelfi feels the team needs to stay focused. "Just because Juniata is 04 does not mean a thing," said the fourth year coach. "They have been in all of their games and have been hurt by some turnovers. We cannot look past anyone because that's when you'll get beat." "Our kids feel like they'rn on a mission 1ight now and we, as a coaching staff, can't let them lose that focus ," DeMelfi commented. Juniata, coming off a 40- 12 loss to Widener on Sa day, is in the midst of ase game losing streak da back to last year.

This marked the first two game winning streak in the Wilkes women's soccer programs history. The Lady Colonels were lead in their scoring attack by freshman sensation Jen Svelnys. Svelnys has been a consistent offensive threat to Wilkes' opponents. Unfortunately, Coach Ban-era's winning streak was short-lived. The Lady Colonels were handed a loss by a talented Drew club this past Saturday. Wilkes was again led by Svelnys who scored the only goal for her team in their 5-1 loss. It seems the Lady Colonels luck, both good or bad, has been streaking in two s lately. After losing to Drew on Saturday, the Colonels were shut out by Scranton on Tuesday, October 4.

On the political scene, Somalia is healing slowly while Haiti is simmering. But that's not it. Michael Jordan's retirement last Wednesday was a loss for basketball. But don't count me among the mourners. Along with being the greatest ever, he also had one of the worst attitudes of any pro athlete. At his press conference, MJ said he looks forward to not having to deal with the media. I pity you so much, Michael. Without television, Mr. Jordan you'd be the greatest player no one saw. Good-bye and don't let the door hit you in the Nike's on the way out. But even Michael's announcement, for as monumental as it was, wasn't enough to capture the clatter. From the Associated Press wire, dated Saturday, October 9, 1993: "In Moraine, Ohio, a five year-old set a house fire last week in which his two year-old sister died, and their mother blamed "Beavis and Butthead" for promoting burning as fun." Say it with me now, accountability. Or better yet, to quote the old Highlights magazine, "What's wrong with this picture?" For those of you who have never had the joy of seeing "Beavis and Butthead," it is a satirical caitoon lampooning teenagers who do nothing but watch MTV all day and basically act brain-dead. Like Seymour Butz of "He Said, She Said" fame. The show frequently contains strong language and many sexual allusions . So why is a five year-old watching this? And better yet, how did he get matches or a lighter? Two things trouble me here. The first (and most obvious) is that this child was watching MTV. Now those who know me know that I don't buy censorship at all. But MTV has more sex than most other chanuels. And I don't think that it's really suitable for a five year-old. So the mother blames MTV when it is her fault. That's expected. The wild card in all of this is MTV, which agreed to rethink ce1tain "Beavis" concepts. Why am I not surprised? · This has tq be the most hypoc1itical network on television. Less than three years ago, they trashed Tipper Gore and her crnsade to label all records with offensive content. When she became the nominee for "second lady," MTV embraced her. This is the network that decries the censorship proposed by the Christian right and then bans a Sir Mix-A-Lot video until after 9 p.m. and a Madonna video altogether. What's up, fellas? "Beavis and Butthead" me occasionally funny. But we all know kids imitate whatever they see. So monitor their viewing, plain and simple. Have a good Fall Break, don't play with matches, and if anything goes wrong, blame someone else. That's all for now. We'll chat again after break. This Week in History q>lllff.

" By SEYMOUR BUTZ By AMANDA HUGINKIS In the 1989 song "Funky Cold Medina" By Tone Loe, the protagonist, Mr. Loe, procures particular potions for procreation. (Alliteration returns!) Upon giving ¢e elixer to one maiden, she wishes not to procreate, but "instead she started to talkin' 'bout plans for maniage." Tone's response is to vacate the premises immediately. I can only gather that Tone Loe met the fair Amanda. Amanda confessed to Father Seymour that she ,as had the color of her )ridesmaids' gowns seected since she was five. I mggested to her that finding a vhipping boy, er, I mean rnsband, might 1ot be easy. She retorted that men are afraid of marriage and fon't even think about it. Yeah, so? As usual, I must explain to Amanda that this idea is utterly trite. She no loubt picked it up from the latest CosmDpolitan, with the scantily clad women m the cover, next to the article, "How to Satisfy Your Man Every Time, And fhen Go Make A Mean Ham and Cheese Sandwhich." But I digress rapidly. It has been said by Amanda (and people more inteligent) that men are afraid )f committment. Not all committments, I try to tell her. It's just that marriage s such a long step. We men are afraid of spending the rest of our natural lives .vith the incorrect person, so we postpone major decisons. This comes as a shock to Amanda, who knows exactly what songs will be )layed at the wedding. No doubt "Na Na, Hey Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye" by 5team will be heard, since no matter who he will be, he will never be seen happy 1gain. So I ttied to explain to her that men don't really care what color everyone wears. All they care about is whether or not this young lady is Ms. Right. As Jsual, it takes two to three days for any high level of information or tricky jokes to pass through Amanda' s pretty, but empty, head. So whatever is said today will be deciphered over Fall Break. In closing then, I ask the fair Amanda, "You're wearing white? Who are you kidding?" That's what he said. SAID While this topic is sure to scare most of the guys away from "He Said, She Sai for a few weeks, Seymour and I thought it might be best to take our chances, do th' the Christian way, and talk about the "m" word before the "s' word. Yes, I kn college students talking about ma1Tiage before sex is unheard of, but Seymour ao! aren't even dating so I think it's safe to proceed (with the column, that is). Actually, our whole conversation started because I saw this show on Don(Yes, Donahue. Not, as Seymour suggested, from Cosmo, which does inciden have some good stories.) about how men and women look at maniage. Wanting test out the theory, I approached Seymour to find out if men really were in the when it comes to maniage. For once, Seymour didn't fail me. At the word "maiTia he bolted out the door and left me standing at the proverbial alter. So what do guys think about man-iage? Quite simply, they don't. Guys, u females, do not fantasize about what their wedding will be like, unless the topic ~ wedding night or the cute little bimbo who jumped out of the cake at the bachelorp They have not been planning their ideal wedding since the age of five. They do have the colors of their ready on order. And they do Bride's Magazine the day kiss. · Women, however, I'll be the first to had my wedding planned years. In case you' re curious · all six of my brides~-----maids will wear e ald green, I'll get manied in an old Victorian mansion, I'm a four-year subscri Modern Bride, and my husband-to-be will earn a six digit income before I e consider being his wife. (Hey Seymour, why are you rnnning away?) This is one topic that I simply can't argue with. Girls have grown up believing they should be planning their wedding at the first sign of interest by a male. Guy · the other hand, take a running start and simply bolt at the mention of marriage. U they get roped in, guys don't give much marriage much attention and when they notice, it's only to complain that the bar isn't open during the entire reception. Don't think this male indifference ends with mm1·iage though. Girls, it' endless cycle. You're always planning - first it' s your maniage, then the meals, then your family. Guys are, as usual, just along for the ride. They don't anything much thought (thm1k god) until they have to. I seem to think that this is one of those inexplicable gender differences-one is probably better left alone. The divorce rate is high enough the way it is.

Once falls in love with the are only a handful of se fans mate for life, and it's a cultural groove watching what happens among those who achieve that rarefied respect. With the Violent Femmes, it's a matter of Gordon Gano, Victor DeLorenzo and Brian Ritchie speaking uniquely for those who wish they could, but maybe never got the chance. From the first plaintive desperation of "Gimme the Car" on through the societal strains of" American Music," the Violent Femmes supply a soundtrack of reality. Along the way, there are detours and distractions, of course, but never dead ~nds. If the Violent Femmes have accomplished anything, it's that they've recognized the need for tmth in a time when it is a lot easier to hide behind cynism or paint platitudes. And even if it may not be everyone's truth, it's definitely words and music that rings true for those who use it like a life raft. In the middle of the '80s, deep into the Ronald Reagan years, the Violent Femmes played a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. The venerable room was bursting at the seams with crazed t,ililikea of the revolution, and as tlie pe.rfo rm ance got underway, it didn 't take them long to realize that this was a nigh! withon1 rules. It was only a slight hop onto the stage and shortly into the band's set, dozens of their followers surrounded them, pulling at their instrumentts and completely overcome with emotion.

TheSubwill plying a different variety kies, soon. But, what about the other lain ts? Last Tuesday, the Wilkes University Food Committee, a sub-group (no pun intended) of the Student Government, met with the Vice President for Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises, Paul O'Hop, in order to discuss selections at the cafete1ia. The representatives proposed more chicken entrees, such as broiled chicken, along with several theme meals. The effort to meet studentneeds is appreciated, but maybe " taco night" does not meet the demands of student body. What is the problem? "The biggest difficulty as I perceive it is the lack of communication from the committee to the students and from the students back to the committee. 'Thefoodsucks' is not constructive;' says O'Hop. What about a survey? Roughly, it would entail the food committee to draft and deliver a survey to all students who would be electing a meal plan. Based on the replies, the committee would construct a plan in which they would weigh students' demands, budget, and the products available to comprise a balanced food plan. I proposed this to O ' Hop who replied, "I would be more than happy to supply food service that would please the students:' However, as a guideline, O'Hop does enforce the 20/80 scale, which indicates that if 80% of students are happy, 20% are not, and vice versa.

Wilkes students teamed up with area children from the John McGlynn Learning Center to pack grocery bags for needy families in the area. Wofford dropped by the CEO on Saturday to help students prepare the food bags. He stayed to talk about the importance of service, eventuallyjoining the group of students sitting on the floor for a donated lunch from McDonald's. "What we need is a multiplication of what we did today and that's what I've been working on the last 25 years which ilkes-Barre recently came to pass in the fonn of the National Service Trust Act," said Wofford. The act proposes to help students who volunteer for a year with college tuition costs. Studen ts who participate are awarded a stipend as well as a cash award for college tuition at the end of their year of service. Chad A. Lojewski, Wilkes Student Government president, presented Wofford with a sweatshirt, which Wofford promptly put on. �OCTOBER PAGE2 28, 1993 the Pa. Quilters Association will be on hand to assist.

With Wilkes providing administrative leadership and expertise to this public project, the main question is how will Earth Conservancy affect students at Wilkes? Will it drain Wilkes resources or generate opportunities for field research? Phil Marko, a senior Biology major at Wilkes feels that the project is likely to have a positive effect on the University and the students. "Some teachers will bring their experience with the project into their classes," said Marko. One class that Marko had last year took a tiip to the outskirts of the land. "The project gives the students a chance to see and work with environmental clean-up technolog:v,'' Marko added. But future opportunities for students must wait. Until the judge makes a decision regarding the sale of the Blue Coal Land to the Earth Conservancy, Wilkes faculty, administrators and students can only speculate. The judge is expected to make a preliminary ruling on Monday, October 25.

While here, Baker would like to recast the choral groups and include more nonmajors. "I'd like to see the choral group as a larger presence on campus.

Baker's interest in music started at an early age. When he was a child he played the piano and then the violin. It wasn't until high school that he sang in the choir. "[I had an] outstanding teacher. She got me excited about music and I still am," Baker said. Baker performed in the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple choir. He sang with Monte and Lauren Mussel. He also performed at Stanford. While at San Jose, Baker was a tenor solois t in the Episcopal Choir. He also sings for community events and is involved in an·Early Music Ensemble, organized by Frank Hydash. The following week the AIDS quilt is coming to Wilkes-Barre. Baker thinks the choral concert might be a way of making people aware of upcoming events. Baker concluded "Music is such a vital part of life. Music is able to speak in a powerful wa of human emotion."

Marts Center will be set aside for local community members to add panels. They will be asked to present the panels at a dedication ceremony where they will officially be added to the 23,000 panels that makeup the entire AIDS Quilt. TheQuilt began in San Francisco in 1987 as one person's protest to the AIDS epidemic. Cleve Jones spray painted the name of his fiiend,Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of fabric approximately the size of a grave. It wasn't long before Jones' idea spawned the creation of thousands of hand-made memorials. The Quilt is now an international memorial that has taken on personal importance to many people. To a 15year-old girl from New York who mad a panel ior her father who died of AIDS it means, "I wish he was still here wit me. I think he will be happy to know h is always on my mind." Iii hememorialpanelsthatmake up the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt were made by all sorts of people, in all kinds of colors, fabrics, and styles. You do not have to be a professional artist to create a moving personal tribute It doesn't matter if you use paint or fine needle work; any remembrance is appropriate.

Certainly "Beavis andButthead" werenotthehardestofnews stories, but it did draw some reaction. Although most people agreed, one person remarked that he wasn't certain what redeeming value "Beavis and Butthead" had. If redeeming value is a requisite for keeping something on the air then three-fourths of television is gone. And "Baywatch" goes first. Be that as it may, let's talk about the recently completed Fall Classic, the World Series. First things first; my prediction could not have been further from the truth,unless I picked my Mets to win it all. However, I guess that's to be expected. If you've been reading my column on a regular basis (bless your heart), then you know of my sincere dislike for the Phillies. This is not something new. I've despised them even when they were the worst team on this earth so I've had my practice. I know a great deal of Phillies fans. Some are genuine fans, who follow their team through all 162 games and could name the backup catcher in less than 10 seconds. They're fine. There are the casual fans, who, even in the worst of years, know how the Phi ls are doing. Granted, they don't.know the backup catcher, but they are loyal. Winning, however, breeds the worst type of fan. In the Phils case, this fan wouldn't know Mitch Williams from Cindy Williams (see Laverne and Shirley) or Ben Rivera from Geraldo Rivera. As the bandwagon leaves the station, these people hop aboard. Why does this bother me, you ask? One of my good friends is the first type of fan (Yes Seymour, women can appreciate a sacrifice bunt as much as anyone) and she gave me more than my share of needling about the Mets abominable season, which I took in stride. She had every right, her Phils were on top. When they beat the Braves, her enthusiasm was amazing. And although I wasn't with her when Joe Carter hit his homer to win game six, I can only imagine her feelings. The point is that some half-baked Phillies fan would not have been as upset, because he or she REALLY didn't care. But had the Phillies won, these same people would count themselves as true fans . ,Only true Phils fans would be able to know the exultation of a championship and these were the same ,people who knew devastation on Saturday night. To you so called fans, I am not upset that the Blue Jays won. But to you Fanatics, keep your chins up, enjoy the wonderful season you just had, and remember spring training is but five months away. That's all for: now. We'll chat again next week. ....._______'_L_, e_t_ t,e~r_t_o _th _ e_-_E_d_it___.or :,__ _ l To the Editor: I am the .chairperson of the recentlyredesignedCampusFoodCommittee.

Secondly, the survey which she claimed should be drafted and distributed, had already occurred.

For many years tl1is "Food Committee" sat donnant, introducing nothing new as I'dseeninthepa,;tfewyears. Yetnow, when progress is being made, the committee is criticized for "lack of communication between committee ,md student,;." We are working very closely with Morrison's 1mmager Denny Drezek and Vice-President of Business Affairs Paul O'Hop to insure the best possible food variety and service is made available for the student,; ... If anyone ha,; a question, concern, or complaint they c,m contact ... [me] ,md we will address it as a committee. This year the Campus Food Committee is very enthusiastic and student-orientated, we know that communication is the key to success, but also that communication is a two-way street. This committee wants desperately to give the students what they want, but we need constructive criticism to totally accomplish that goal. "The food sucks" does not help anyone in making improvements. It acts only as a counteractive mech,mism defeating the pmpose of comment, rather than helping us attain that goal . Sincerely, Andrew F. Mazzeo �O CTOBER P AGE6 28, 1993 "The Oedipus Complex" By SEYMOUR BUTZ ANDA JH;GINKIS In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, an unknowing lad has an incestuous relationship with his mother. Although considered "normal" in Oklahoma and other places where bloodlines run so closely together, this practice is generally given a thumbs down. Sigmund Freud went even further and suggested that everyone of us at some point desires the opposite sex parent and considers the same sex parent a threat. I think I speak for most of the public when I say "Get the (expletive) out of here!" Maybe old Soph had something. Gentleman, let's broaden our minds. Let's reflect back to the of our youth, happy time cool and girls when dirt was you happened to were not. If father, you see Amanda's and treated him greeted him did the same. normally; he years, In a few however, Mr. Huginkis has purchased a shotgun and would take exquisite orgasmic delight in renting a U-Haul truck and backing over your head real slow, so it just pops. Why? Because Amanda is Daddy's little girl. And any young man who wished to date the fourteen year-old version of Amanda (if only because he's already put his head in a blender, and this is the next logical step in pain) has to pass through the Father Test. Here's a sample question: You should bring my daughter home from tonight's date: a) sometime within the next week. b) whenever you expect your other girlfriend to show up. c) at a reasonable hour (read: 9 p.m.) d) when you satisfy your wildest pubescent fantasies. Answer a) orb), and you '11 never see her again. Answer c ), and you 're in good shape. Answer d), and I'll send flowers to the funeral. So Daddy's a little protective, Amanda would say. So he looks out for my best interest5. So what? You are a mama's boy. I must confess that Mama Butz has done her share of intimidating potential babes, either by being pleasant when answering the phone ("What the hell do you want?") or by coihplimentary lines concerning her appearance ("Is that your nose, or did you catch a boomerang between her eyes?") I said she was intimidating; I never said she was funny. Postulations on parental protectiveness prevent possible prenuptuals. (Alliteration has left the building.) .If parent5 aren't supportive of relationships, they can create difficulty and eventually end a realtionships. Or if a child chooses a girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife over parents, serious tension can develop. Although men can be mama's boys and women can be daddy's girls, parents need to know when to "cut the cord," so to speak, and to trust the child's judgement, even if it does mean someone getting hurt. So for this week, stay away from Amanda's dad, and always choose c). At least that's what he said. They say you can judge a man by the way he treats his mother. Or even worse, that a m an is looking for a woman to be LIKE his mother In either case, the situation looks grim for the female population. Both scenarios above can lead to only one conclusion- the guy is still ti the apron strings and not letting go anytime soon. Just what is a momma' s boy you ask? Let me offer you a typical profile. (If it sounds similar to how Seymour has acting, I deny any intentional similarities.) He's the kind of guy who still rolls all of his socks together and color c them.

I can understand why men feel this way though. After 30 or 40 years, average time it takes for a momma' s boy to leave the nest, of having a live-in in the form of a mother what person wouldn't want to find a mate who would up right where their mother left off? For a momma' s boy this point would probably be to pick up the dirty b still left on the floor from a week ago. Or to wash the dishes sitting in the sink a failed attempt at domestication. But the prospect of having someone take care of you the way your mothe when you were little is both attractive and heartwarming. Unless you aren't for the possessive side of maternal instincts which go hand in hand with nurtming. Take heart though girls because the odds of ending up with a momma'sboy about as good as those for the King's Monarchs to even score, let alone win,ag . the undefeatead Wilkes Colonels this year.

Little does the Wilkes campus but a murder took the Black Box Theunday, October 24. further, the Prog Board was bewhole thing - a premeditated and ing. brilliantly executed by the members of a professional acting company who tours with their murder mystery game each year. The "murder" was well publicized and attendance was fairly good. A simulated murder game in the cafeteria during dinner before the show, along with body tape markings scattered around cam pus, seemed to generate a lot of curiosity and a lot of players. The plot involved the stabbing death of actress Angelique on the set of a mineral water commercial in which she was to star. The audience had the opp01tunity to observe the reactions of her sister and cast members to the news of the murder. Later the suspects were questioned to reveal alibis and possible motives. Students who named the correct murderer had the opportunity to win T-shirts or the $50 grand p1ize. Phuong Bui was the winner of the cash. Reactions to the murder game were overwhelmingly positive. Said student Latanya Urquhart," ... it kept me going the whole time. I hope they come back again." Ricardo Torres-Ortiz agreed. "I thought it was very well acted, entertaining and fun and next time everyone should come." By STEPHANIE KRAMER Features Writer For Circle K' ers, it's that time of the year again - it's time to unearth the black capes, rubber masks and plastic fangs for the annual Haunted House in Dennison Hall on the Wilkes campus.

It was Billy Joel's first night of a two night stand at the Spectrum as part of his River of Dreams tour. Sho1tly after 8 p.m., Joel and his band took the stage and launched into "A Matter of Trust." From there, the show only got better as the band burst right into "No Man's Lar1d" from the River of Dreams album. Joel's two and a half ~our set included hits from his most recent album, River ofDreams, and also some tunes from Stormfront, such as "Downeaster Alexa," "We Didn' t Sta1t the Fire," and "All About Soul." He also played the classics including, "My Life," "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," and a touching version of "Goodnight Saigon," complete with helicopter sound effects. Joel also payed homage to N01theastern Pennsylvania, playing "Allentown" which drove the crowd wild. He closed the main portion of the show with a rocking "Only the Good Die Young." The first of the two encores was his tale of a drug dealer, "Captain Jack." The last song of the night was none other than "Piano Man," with the soldout crowd singing the chorus. Joel's band included some of the greats in rock and roll. "Saturday Night Live" alumnus, T-Bone Wolk played bass, longtime E-Street Band member, Crystal Talifero was on percussion, and Joel's longtime friend Liberty Devito was on drums. The band played and sounded great. Joel couldn't have assembled a better bunch of musicians for a backing band. Joel put on a very energetic show, running all over the stage, dancing,a nd even playing the piano with hs bottomside. It was easy to see he was enjoying himself and played his heart out. Joel is scheduled to play in New York and New Jersey in December. If you wan' t to catch a great show, don't miss this. I know I won't.

This contempo City, a tri Manuscri dents had the day, a !,till diggin' D79·le1n By JON ROHMAN Features Writer Bob Dylan is back. Dylan has just released his 28th album since 1961, "World Gone Wrong."Like his last album, "Good as I Been to You," Dylan chose to record his version of 10 obscure folk and blues songs by aitists such as Blind Willie McTell, the Mississippi Shieks, and Doc Watson. Dylan plays solo on "World Gone Wrong," handling the vocals, haimonica and acoustic guitar. It's great to see him get back to his roots and and record like he did on his first album, "Bob Dylan," in 1961. This is the.way Dylan was meant to play-with just one acoustic guitar and a harmonica. Dylan also writes the liner notes for the album. In them, he gives his interpretation of the songs that have influenced him throughout his career. The album opens with a song by the Mississippi Radiohead 1s Shieks, "World Gone Wrong." This song, in which he sings, "Sorry honey, I can't be good. The world's gone wrong," sets a theme for the entire album. All of the songs are about deceit and betrayal, until the last song, a haunting ballad, "Lone Pilgrim," which looks at salvation and the needs of mankind. In "Delia," Dylan sings, "all the friends I ever had are gone," with a hint of regret in his voice. One of the more familiar songs on the album is "Jack a Roe," which tells the story of a young virgin in love with a sailor. Dylan also covers Frank Hutchinson's version of "Stack A Lee." These two songs also tell tales of deception and betrayal. If you're a hardcore Dylan fan, I think it will be easy for you to appreciate this album. But, if you' re not much of a Dylan fan and want to hear some good old folk and blues songs sung by a man who has helped shape a generation, get "WorlciGone Wrong" by Bob Dylan. You won't be disappointed. a --creep··--------------- By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor If you liked Radio head's hit song "Creep," then you will love their album Pablo Honey. The first song on the album "You" is a slower, more dramatic tune than "Creep." The group uses and emphasizes more of their ha1monizing ability. "Howdoyou?"hasmoreofametallicsoundtoitwith lots of guitar noise. In the song "Stop Whispering" you can hear, what seems to me, a U2 influence. The lead vocalist sin•gs those early Bono hang notes and the song ends with a Radiohead's rendition of an instrumental jam session. The fifth song on the album, "Thinking about you," starts off with acoustical guitars and a vocalist only. Again, I sense a heavy U2 influence, especially in some of the guitar· cords played. "Thinking about you" is a pretty mellow tune with a good sound from the acoustical guitars. "Anyone can play guitar" has a heavier sound; a lot of bass in fact. This song shows no resemblance to "Creep." So for those of you who didn't like that particular· song, don't lose faith in these guys yet. "Ripcord" reminds me of a matured Violent Femmes song. Could it be Destiny? . If any of you remember the Lemonheads sound (it's been a while, huh?) "Vegetable" will remind you of them. It has a distinctive Lemonheads beat to it. (And I'm not refeITing to their remake of Mrs. Robinson.) "Prove yourself' starts off quiet and depressed but quickly changes to a more upbeat'drumand guitar number. Thenexttwosongsonthealbum, "Ican't"and"Lurgee," also bring the Lemonheads to mind. "Blow out," the last song on the album, has a unique sound all to it's own. It is a mix of vocal hai;mony, keyboards and guitar·, all crescendoing to a strong vocal takeover then into amixofall the sounds together to end the . album. If you like the Lemonheads, U2 and the Violent Femmes all rolled up together, then you will really enjoy this album, Pablo Honey by Radiohead. unport dents' t f the co ould [al e] what translation by Timberlake Werten captures the beauty of the poetry presents the script in a lively and ex · fo1m.

On Saturday morning work began at 8:30 a.m. in Patterson. The students worked 1ight along with local volunteers and some family members who were receiving the finished homes. Students did various things such as laying shrubbery, cleaning out backyards, and preparing soil for planting. Still others went to another habitat home to fill in a backyard that had sunk, as well as doing such things as painting doors and shutters for the homes. Sunday was a free day for the group and they took advantage of it to go into New York City sightseeing. However, it was back to work again on Monday and I : Tuesday in Newark. At 8 a.m . both Monday and Tuesday, the group was divided into smaller groups to do va1iousjobs such as laying drainage pipes or preparing foundations for other houses. The work was finished by 5 p.m. on Tuesday and the group headed back to Wilkes. Participants were: Anna Caccia, Keith Fisher, Chad Lojewski, Karen Kline, Christina Poff, Laura Schmidt, Gail Humphrey and Nicole Drahus.

Faculty qualifications and communication skills are just two examples of the 20 required NLN criteria that the program had to pass in order to receive accreditation. "We have six doctorally prepared faculty members. Three more are working toward their doctorate. We have a lot of expertise and that is what energizes our curriculum," said Kolanowski. The NLN looks for continuous development in a nursing program. Kolanowski claims that both undergraduate and graduate programs will be undergoing several new developments. "Our students will be seeing changes that emphasize primary health care in response to new health care reform," Kolanowski said. According to Kolanowski enough data must be presented to show that the program is working before accreditation is granted. The review of six students that successfully completed the nursing graduate program was sufficient proof for Wilkes to gain NLN approval. The nursing program holds 154 full-time undergraduate students and 31 graduate students. The department will hold an open house on November 11. Faculty and nursing students will be attending. They welcome interested students to the celebration. For more information contact Dr. Ann Kolanowski at extension 4074.

With this past Saturday's victory over Lycoming, the undefeated football team continues its wonderful season. This Saturday, Susquehanna comes to town. Unless you're unconscious or have some other grand excuse, then remember this: Ralston Field on Saturday. Election Day was this past Tuesday, and I hope all of you registered voters went to the polls. As you know, this column takes on a political flavor from time to time, and in the past few weeks the chatter has been critical of the lack of news. But this week, the issue fell like manna from heaven onto my word processor. He's your fiiend and mine, and if you think you love him, you should go to Oregon. They are the people who are responsible for putting him into office. He is Senator Bob Packwood, although some refer to him as "Lovesexy." Whatever you wish to call him (and I'm sure we could think of many creative names), he is the news. What's even more interesting are the issues at stake here. But let's not hurry things; there's some humor we must touch upon. A person in one of my classes remarked that it has become "Geraldo in the Senate." What gives you that indication? Maybe this little paraphrased passage: Senator Packwood: "I was in my office late one night with one of my assistants, and we had a bottle of wine. She came over and gave me a big kiss. (About this time, Jesse Helms [R- N.C.] staits to sweat profusely.) She says to me, 'Senator, I think you're wonderful.' And I say to her, 'Warts and all?'" This man scares me. A couple of quick questions. She remai·ked that he was wonderful? What was in that wine? Battery acid? Carpet Fresh? She had to have been severely impaired to reach that conclusion. And his response? "W ai·ts and all?" It's a wonder she didn't throw up all over him right there. I certainly would have. Of cause, I'm just not the type who would want to give Robert Packwood a big kiss. But that's not all. When this guy, warts and all, has sexual exploits, he w1ites about them in a diary which is now 8000 pages long. 8000 pages? Move over Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson, here is the real deal. Wilt may say 20,000, but the good Senator has the documentation. Here lies (poor word choice) the question: should the Senator be forced to turn the diary and all of its .contents, whether they pertain to sexual harassment or not, over to the Senate Ethics Committee? And isn'. t the te1m "Senate Ethics" an oxymoron. The only thing with more crooked lawyers was The Firm by John Grisham. Although The Beacon makes it a point to never endorse anything or anyone, or to never make value judgements, let me just ask you, the reader, this: When you put it on paper, does that make it fair game? Or is it still self-incrimination and therefore protected under the Fifth Amendment? The ACLU, which drapes itself in the Bill of Rights as a cold swimmer does him or herself in a towel, is uncharacte1istically quiet on the Packwood issue. For them, and for you, dear reader, let me leave you with this: Packwood's moral character (or lack thereot) is not on trial here. It is self-inc1imination to force him to turn this diary over and his right to privacy to keep this journal, both of which should be protected. That's all for now. Warts and all, we'll chat again next week. This Week in History Compiled by The Wilkes University History Club November 4, 1703 - Savoy with Poland against Sweden.

To some of our simpler readers (read: women), it is nothing more than the 24th letter of the alphabet or the sign for an incoITect answer on the Family Feud. But to those in attendance at the Seymour Butz School of History, it is the beginning of a historical period in each one of our lives. Instead of B.C. or B.C.E. as the newer school of thought proclaims, we at the Butz School have defined time periods as B.X. and A.X., or Before "the Ex" and After "the Ex." I can . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , hear the fair Amanda, in that ditsy, airheaded voice, asking me, "What do you ' ex. '')'' mean by the Amanda should know. For when the discussion turns to men, she will be the first to remind you of the dashing Air Force pilot that she dated for two days, and how wonderful he was. Yes, ladies and gents, the discussion for this week focuses on ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, and how each of the sexes deals with this. As usual, the double standard is in effect. It is o.k. for Amanda to bring up her dashing ex' s, but should Seymour or any other male mention that blond bombshell who chaimed the pants off of him (MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER), Amanda will cop an attitude worse than the one she already has. To utilize one of my favorite mediums, a b1ief quiz. Q) You have just shared a very intimate moment with Amanda (Congratulations! ). The event which transpires next is: a) Amanda says, "You know, you' re not as good as the last ten boyfiiends I've had." b) You say, ""You know, you're not as good as the last ten girlfriends I've had." c) Amanda says, "You are the quintessential man, and I will worship you forever." Answers a) and b) convey the problem which we are attempting to tackle. And answer c) is logically impossible because that describes me, and I was not in the room at the time. It seems that both men and women play the game of mentioning the "ex" at the worst possible time. It also appears that we play it in order to infuriate the other sex. It is indeed an easy target to hit; who doesn't get the feeling of sitting on greasy ferrets when our significant other cites the achievements of his/her past loves? So what do we do? We respond in the only way we know how: we play the same exact game, and the winner is the one with the least wounds who may or may not be standing. So the next time Amanda or some other little pastry dish begins to rattle off how great all the past ones were, tell her, "Here's a quaiter. Call someone who gives a damn." And tell her that's what he said. Comparisons. It seems that we all want what we don't have (or in some what we had and got 1id of). The Jones family has a new car. Or your golf got a promotion and a raise. The family down the street has more money,a house, a nicer dog. The list goes on and on ... One place where all of this compa1ing really has no place is in "X" c sations. As in ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends. No matter what boys and girls, never, ever compare your cu1Tent t1· dead ember. It's sure to extinguish the fire with your new flame and leave burned up. (I was getting sick of alliteration so I figured I'd try a new · device.) Just to clarify the point for the men in our audience who might not un such poetic language (or any language that has more than two syllables in iti the fair Amanda is trying to say is this: "Keep your mouth shut about the ex the new girl." Always concerned with furtheiing the relationship between men and I've compiled a short list of things that never be said about ex' s by either H What HE should "I didn't realize important for me to my ex was so, uh, endowed. I never her to be a Playboy ~ ~ - Playmate. she looks better now than when I went out with her." Right then and chances of going anywhere, let alone home, with your current gal are good as Seymour successfully seducing Stephanie Seymour. "You remind me of my ex-girlfriend." A sure way to end a date "Buffy (ex-girlfriends always have names like that) never cooked like that." C1iticizing a women's cooking at any time is just plain foo · Hopefully, the above lists will be helpful when handling the ex. (St! that's a figure of speech. You are not to lay a hand on your ex.) The Gold of the ex' s, however, is one that both sexes must follow carefully. What Golden Rule of the ex' s? It's simple. Never call your new beau by your ex' If you can do that, you have a chance of surviving this. If you fail, it's back Butz School of History for you. So what she says for this week, is that when it comes to ex's, it's be unsaid. ... ~SENIORS ... WHERE DO YOU WANT GRADUATI • : I campus las rthe underp were tra; mours, lo ing. Cc What SHE should never say: "My old boyfriend liked to shop." You're lying. No self-respec · will ever admit to enjoying shopping. "At least Bill had some hair on his head." A blow to any comment is sure to end any and all chances of a diamond, ever. "My old boyfriend was a 200 pound weightlifter." Hey Seymour are you running to? "I've seen bigger." Enough said. ................................................................................. • ·--""I : Ralston Field (Outdoors) 'E Marts Gymnasium (Indoo Make your choice.

Many of the REACH volunteers were prior recipients of REACH aid. Stan Hamilton, part-time REACH director, said · that ,"Most of the families who come in for need end up as volunteers helping others as needy as they once were." Staff member Julie Krafchik started as a volunteer for REACH in 1984. She attended Penn State Univer- job at REACH and graduate school. Her studies are in psychology, with an interest in child psychology. She knew several kids at the Halloween party. "Sometimes kids involved with REACH bring a friend. We get in touch with the new family and often supply food , clothing, sometimes furniture, and if possible, work." Krafchik is surprised at the number of people that are needy. "You think that this is such a small town, that there couldn't be as many problems as there are. It's surprising." More shocking than surprising are the dire situations of several who attended Fiiday's party. It was surely a party, a celebration, but sometimes having a good time involves much more than pizza and soda. Two women and their families who attended were homeless, jobless, and without necessary medical attention. One woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, attended the party with her five monthold infant and four-year-old daughter. She told me about her battle with homelessness. "I was receiving Section 8 assistance [government funding for housing] . My fourc..yearold daughter got lead poisoning from the house so we had to get anew apartment. Wilkes-BatTe Housing moved us around but no one wanted to test for lead. I needed a lead-free house. I couldn't get an apartment. All this caused problems with my husband and we separated. Now we have no home. I've thought of everything. Even suicide, for all of us. I've had a lot of bad luck. Justa lot of bad luck." The REACH organization sponsors a monthly event. This month it is featuring "Into the Streets". REACH helps mostly underprivileged families, including many of AfricanAmerican descent. Many are from housing projects. Some are homeless. Commuter Council gave a generous donation and recruited many volunteers for this event. REACH is always in need of volunteers for events. Amy Mazur is the liaison between Wilkes and REACH. She recruited many volunteers <luting club day but is always searching for more. Please volunteer and help your school community even if it may not be your hometown . Dial Wilkes Extension 5904. By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor Abba Eban, former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, recently spoke at the Matrz center. Ambassador Eban' s speech was eloquent, interesting, and laced with lrnmor. Eban spoke of Israel-the country, the people, and the spirit. Eban also spoke of the recent peace accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). He talked about the history and the struggles, as well as the achievements, between the two entities. Relations between Israel and the f01mer Soviet Union, Egypt, Sytia, China and Iraq were discussed.

The win was Wilkes' first ,--,ver Lycoming since 197 4, the last time that the Colonels won the MAC title. The W an"iors were able to score first in this contest. After a Wilkes fumble, the WaITiors would take the ball 11 yards in two plays for a 7-0 lead. That would be all Lhe offense Lycoming would have all day as the Colonel defense buckled down, allowing just 109 yards in total offense. The Colonels would get their first points of the game when kicker Joel O'Donnell booted a 21 yard field goal with no time on the clock in the first half, making it 7-3 in favor of Lycoming at halftime. Each team would trade possessions in the second half until the Colonels took over at their own 19 with 8:06 left in the final quarter. The Colonels then drove 81 yards and scored when quarterback Boo Perry hit Mike Gundersdorf with a 15 yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining. The PAT failed, giving the Colonels a 9-7 lead. Lycoming would get the ball back, but any chance for a comeback was snubbed when Mark Buss picked off a Warrior pass to seal the Colonel victory. Offensively for the Colonels, Perry completed 25 of 43 for 246 yards and one touchdown. He was also named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Honor Roll for his performance. On the receiving end, Steve Endres caught eight passes for 125 yards, while Gundersdorf finished with seven catches for 44 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Ryan Alston had six receptions for 44 yards and tight end Bryan Allen also added three receptions for 24 Women's doubles tandem brings home MAC title By ERICA KRAMER Sponj Writer The Wilkes University women's temlis team has improved tremendously over the years.

The Wilkes women's tennis team proved their respectability by sending four players into the Middle Atlantic Conference . (MAC) Championships. Both Gina Taylor and Denise Motts competed in the singles competition. Motts was defeated in the first round of play, and Taylor had two impressive wins over players from Albright and Moravian, but then was defeated by the second-seeded player in the tournament. The dynamic duo of Jessica Bixler and Karen Beling not only made it to the MAC doubles championship, but brought back the first title ever to be won by the Wilkes women's tennis team. The championship was held at Elizabethtown College where Bixler and Beling defeated tandems from Drew and Messiah.

This win gave the Colonels their first Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship since 197 4, and the most wins ever by a Wilkes football team with nine in the 'W' column so far this season. Head Coach Joe DeMelfi couldn't be happier. "Getting a win like this, let alone winning the MAC, is just a tribute to the kids and the effort and hard work they've put into this season." The Colonels used a well-balanced offensive attack and '¼, strong defense that intercepted poor Crusader passes. The Wilkes offense was lead by senior Jason Smith who rushed for 151 yards and 16 carries, including a 74-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Smith wasn't the only back with over 100 yards, freshman Arkenne Wade caITied the ball 17 times for 102 yards and a 15-yard touchdown run. Each week it seems that someone on the defense has a huge game. This week it was Junior Ben McKeown's. McKeown picked off three passes, had two pass break-ups, and five tackles. He was also named MAC Defensive Player of the Week and was added to the Eastern College Athletics Conference (ECAC) Honor Roll for his performance. Don't think that a game like this is uncommon. All season the Colonels have been impressive, building up to what seems like the best season since the Colonels won the Lambert Trophy in 1968. The 1993 Colonels have recorded three shutouts this season, and have outscored their opponents 24159. The Colonel offense has racked up 388 yards per game, while the defense has given up just 202. The offense is led by Smith and senior Steve Endres . Smith has rushed for 888 yards on 207 carries and has scored five touchdowns, while Endres has caught 57 passes for 827 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Boo PeITy has proven that his freshman year was no fluke, passing for 2,017 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, while completing 58 percent of his passes. This season the Colonel defense is the strongest defense in the MAC. Leading the defense is senior co-captain Mike McCree . McCree has a team high 83 tackles this season, 19 being solo hits. Mark Buss is second with 63 tackles, while junior Jake Cole has a high of 14 sacks, and senior LaITy Trakes has recorded 52 tackles and seven sacks. In the secondary, Aaron Wilk has 45 tackles, while Mike Modla has 36 tackles and five picks, and Ben --continued on p. 11 �NOVEMBER PAGE2 11, 1993 Business, Soci- November 17. ety and Public Policy on Mon*DON"T FORGET* day, November 15 in the DorThe Manuscript Society is othy Dickson seeking submissions for their anDarte Center nual w1iting contest.

Baldino, chairperson of litical Science Dept., is wholey in favor of the NAFTA concept. "Although the advantages in the shor,run will be negligible," said Baldino, "it will defimitdy pay off in the long-run.' Speaking purely as a political scientist, Baldino feels that the biggest problem with NAFTA isn't the agreement itself but that President Clinton has his hands full. "If he puts all his efforts toward pushing NAFT A through than he's jepordizing his health care plan and vice-versa," said Baldino. Dr. Robert D. Seely, associate professor of Business and Economics, says that NAFTA is good for all three countlies (United States, Canada and Mexico). "It's just simply a great deal," Seely added. "It's a good deal in the short-run and a better deal in the long-run. I see nothing negative about it." According to Seely, this agreement dictates a larger total output, more income and more jobs for all the countries involved. "Almost every ~conomic studydone shows that the jobs gained weigh much heavier than those lost," said Seely.

The two made the decision to enter Wilkes University Htis past fall. Rich had been attending school part-ti me to earn his Bachelor's degree . This past summer, life rook a sharp turn for him when he was laid off from his _job. After talking it over with his wife, they decided that this was the opportune time for him to go to school Ann Marie's story is a little different. She was already set to enter Wilkes a few years ago when her husband lost her _job. Ann Marie didn't let that little detour get her down. "Going back to school was something I had to do for myself," said Ann Marie. She was sick and tired of dead end _jobs and now that her kids were older and her husband was back to work she was going to enter the doors of Wilkes University as a student. It was a big step for both Rich and Ann Marie to start college. "There are a lot of sacrifices," says Ann Marie. "It was tough at first. Everyday I wanted to quit." "There was a lot of turmoil at first," added Rich, "A lot of adjustments!" Both agreed that going to college leaves time for few relationships. Also, what used to be free time and time ti.)r helping the kids study became study time for themselves. Studying can take on a whole new meaning when you have three kids at home, although Ann Marie feels that it helps her kids to see "mom" studying.

"There are so many things I didn't know about such as the STEP [Success Through Early Preparation] Program," said Ann Marie. Aside from not being completely informed, Rich said that talking with an adult student who was already in school would have been nice. "Also, it would have been nice if I could have been able to sit in on some classes in order to prepare for the return to school." With the number of adult learners on the rise at Wilkes, 506 at Wilkes this semester, both Rich and Ann Marie feel that the faculty should be aware that some students have been away from the classroom for quite sometime, and should take that into account especially if they are teaching an introductory course. All in all, although there are sacrifices to be made, in the long run it is worth fr. As Ann Marie says," You are the only one stopping yourself.

Wilkes students g 'Into the Streets' By BRAD HAYS Co-Copy Editor A few Wilkes students made a sacrifice this past Sat for a good cause. The sacrifice: having to wake up 1::arly Saturday morning. The good cause: helping out at 11'! Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen located on Jackson behind King's College. Around eight Wilkes students volunteered from 9:3(~1 a.m. on Saturday at the St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Ki The students did various things such as helping to stacU dicing vegetables, stacking pies, and washing dishes. Most of the students were sophomore class officers student government representatives, including Sophomore dent Kellie Klein. St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen opened in 1985 first, the idea of a soup kitchen was not a popular one with neighbors in the area. People thought the soup kitchen would lower p values by bringing the homeless into the area. Howevi:r kitchen continued to operate, and now serves up to 3(Xl a <lay. Working at the soup kitchen teaches a great deal abo homeless. It makes people realize that homeless people are notal the stereotypical city bums, but are i.o1mal human beings are just down on their luck. Wilkes students were not the only people who were teering at the soup kitchen. Students from the Hanover Area High School Key were also there stacking food, serving food, and help' wash dishes. The soup kitchen operates throughout the semester. ff would like to volunteer, contact Mary Hession at the In Resource Office on the third floor of the ConynghamS Center, at extension 5940. s.zoa.

"I'd like to see the choral group as a larger presence on campus. I'm not sure if people know we are over here," stated Baker. "Some of the music the chorus is doing is quite poetic. And the chamber singers are doing a historical piece on Walt Whitman." Baker's interest in music started at an early age. When he was a child he played the piano and then the violin. It wasn't until high school that he sang in the choir. "[I had an] outstanding teacher. She got me excited about music and I still am," Baker said. Baker performed in the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple choir. He sang with Monte and Lauren Mussel. He also performed at Stanford.

Wilkes University's chorus will present its first concert on F1iday, November 19 at the First Presbyterian Church on South Franklin Street. Baker said that the music selections are about, "love, loss and remembrance." The following week the AIDS quilt is coming to WilkesBalTe. Baker thinks the choral concert might be a way of making people aware of upcoming events. The chorus is also making plans to be involved in a candle light vigil on Wednesday, December 1. Baker plans on staying at Wilkes for awhile. He senses "good vibes" and wants to "make things." Baker concludes, "Music is such a vital part oflife. Music is able to speak in a powerful way of human emotion." COMMENTARYES Student apathy has hit an all-time low. To some of you that might be surprising since the stands at the football games have been filled the past few weeks, but it's true. Just four graduation surveys were turned into The Beacon office, two of which were from senior members of The Beacon staff and one from my roommate. So that means approximately 496 seniors out there don't care where graduation is held. Since I know three of the people that sent in surveys, that only leaves one unidentified senior who seems to care about where graduation is. That also means that at least four of the five following statements are true. No survey from the senior class president nor from the student government president who is also a senior. No survey from the senior Commuter Council president ~r from the senior Off-campus Council president. And no survey from the IRHC president who just happens to be a senior. If these students, who represent the senior class and the school, can't even fill a survey out, then it's no wonder why graduation is going to be where the administration wants it to be. Nonetheless, the administration has not exactly been encouraging about this push to have graduation outside. On the contrary, I have been told repeatedly to "just forget it" since the answer is no. How can the answer be no when we haven't even asked the question yet? And furthe1more, could this be why some seniors didn't return a survey? I think the administration needs to take a long, hard look at "An Educated Man or Woman,"the guide to learning at this university. I'm beginning to wonder if they really do believe that an educated man or woman is one who listens to different views first then answers without a preconceived notion of what's best for student-;. Unfortunately, I may leave this university still wondering. -Lynn Krutz .aoJZtltly ..... . . . .................... !!!>:-:-:-:-:. .... ....................... ·::-· ·.. · ❖'SUMMER ,:,:,:.:,:·:·: ·:·.. •:-HOLIDAY:-:·:-:·:·:-:· :rou TIME:,:-:-:-:-:-: ORLD TRAVEL:-:-:-:•:• ..... . ,.. , ....... .. . . ............ . . . . ,. ...... ,.,,. ........

By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor The Wilkes University Theatre Department did it again. "Antigone" opened this past weekend in the CPA with the Theatre Department once again proving how much talent is really hidden over there in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. Those of you who have suffered through a high school english class reading of the classical interpretation can rest easy. The Wilkes players are perfo1ming a new translation of this Greek tragedy. The translation is by Timberlake W erten baker and the sc1ipt (I won't scare you away with the term "poetry") is much easier to understand than more traditional translations. The director, Professor Brad Wright, has made this an audience friendly production. He has combined a mixture of interesting staging with a unique use of the house and entrances and exits to keep the audience focused on the action. The set, when first entering the theater seems batTen and empty, but this is standard for this type of show. Designed by Professor John together is junior Eiika Neubert as the technical director. This is the most liberal interpretation of "Antigone" that I have ever seen.

Students, faculty and administration are expected to give up one or more meals at Wilkes University's dining hall as part of Oxfam America's 20th annual Fast for a World Harvest campaign. Mlmison' s Food Service, Inc ., which runs the dining hall , will donate the cost of the meals to Oxfam America's hunger and poverty relief programs in Africa, Asia, Latin America , the Caribbean and the United States. During dining hours, the Offices of Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith will distribute literature about world hunger. The Wilkes University event is one of the thousands of events taking place across the country on November 18 as part of the Fast For a World Harvest. Students, businesses, community groups, and families from coast to coast will go without food or hold fund raisers to raise money for- and awareness about-world hunger. Since 197 4, more than six million Ame1icans have taken part in Oxfam America fasts. As part of the Wilkes University Fast Campaign, the Offices of Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith will host a hunger Banquet on Ftiday, November 19. This Hunger Banquet will dramatize the inequity of global food dist1ibution. A large meal is prepared and divided among the guests to represent the earnings of people who live in the world's high, middle, and low income countries. By random drawing, Hunger Banquet guests end up in one ofthreegroups. Itisimportant to note that this is a dramatization. A Hunger Banquet demonstrates the inequities of living conditions among people throughout the world; it does not give precise measures of hunger or numbers of hungry people.

A contemporary vocal group, with roots in acapella doo wop, the band creates the most distinctive vocal sound heard in years. Like their music, the beauty of the group is in its simplicity. JQ and The Bandits - Jim Fontaine, lead singer; Chris May, bass; David Montgomery, baritone; and Steven Katz, tenor - create an exceptional sound through intricate harmonies.

Dr. Jack Meyers, Registrar at Wilkes, and previous director of Evening, Summerand Weekend programs, asked the question, "How do you measure academic knowledge of an expe1ience?" With Experiential Learning, the student cannot receive credit for the practical aspects of the experience, but rather the academic value. If all else fails, and the student petitions for credits for life experience, it would be up to the academic department where the course is taught to grant those credits by whatever method they see fit. Dr. Thomas Baldino, chairperson of Political Science, had a student a few years ago who was a public official and very involved in the political system. She wanted to receive academic credit for her experience. Baldino and the registrar decided that the best way for this student to gain the credits she wanted was to challenge individual courses by exam. According to Baldino, the registrar was very reluctant to give credit for life experience. Meyers agreed, "A student should try absolutely everything else first, and then when he hits a brick wall consider credit for life experience." Henry Steuben, the present director of Evening, Summer and Weekend programs, said that the department chairs are responsible for the process of granting credit for life expe,ience. "It becomes a difficult situation for both the student and faculty," added Steuben. The option commonly prefeITed by both faculty and registrar is the challenge exam. This process requires that the student wishing to challenge a certain course apply to the appropriate depa1tment chairperson for permission to take the exam. The chairperson will then either approve or disapprove the student's request on a judge- ment that the student has adequate background in the specific academic area. If approved, the student would be required to pay $27 per credit to the Finan• cial Management Office and take the receipt to the de· partment for proof of the non-refundable payment If not approved thestu• dent can appeal to the approp1iate academic dean. Meyers believes that it is difficult for the faculty to say ... the student knows everything I teach in class ... because what does that then say about the learning that goes on in the cl~ rooms? The students who pi:li· tion for Experiential Ll'illlling credit are usually n traditional studrnts. Meyers said, "Studen hav~ to remember wh they're here.

By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist If you can believe it, 1993 is almost gone. As usual, time sprints past without us, or at least me, knowing about it. Around this time of year, everyone puts out their Year in Review or nominates their Man of the Year. Yes, it's a time for reflection. And since we have only two Beacon issues remaining for this year, now is as good a time as any to look back on the year that was. Any consistent reader of the chatter knows that the writer of this column is a huge sports fan. Although personal biases occasionally get in the way, the sporting opini_ons in this column have been on the proverbial even keel. In the world of sports this past year, many stories come to mind. On a local level, the success here at Wilkes created an overall feeling of school support, something this campus truly needs. And on a national level, many other sports stories fight for center stage. Jorda.n's retirement takes the cake, but for this fan, the defining moment in sports for 1993 came earlier in the year. On an August evening when the Mets were getting destroyed, baseball was supposed to be the only story on the spmts page. But when one of the Mets broadcasters announced a tragic death in the basketball world, this fan felt his heart in his throat. Reggie Lewis, forward and captain of the Boston Celtics, was dead of heart failure. The scientific nuances of the Lewis story are many, but they are not the issue. Yes, Reggie collapsed during the playoffs in April, and yes, doctors disagreed over whether or not he would play again. But none of those doctors can bling him back. The beauty of spo1ts is that it is semi-isolated from every other part of society. These men and women have astronomical salaries, but fans don't mind because no matter what Charles Barkley says, these players are heroes. But when death invades sport, and strikes down these seemingly invincible athlethes, it is a reality check of epic proportions. And this year death was a glutton: Chris Street, University oflowa; Drazen Petrovic, New Jersey Nets; Don Drysdale and Roy Campanella, two fo1mer Dodgers; Steve Olin and Tim Crews, two young pitchers for the Cleveland Indians; Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison of auto racing fame; and Reggie Lewis. When Drazen died earlier this summer, I heard callers to an all-sports radio station in New York City weeping for this man they barely knew. It was as if they had lost a family member, and they aired their grief.'Although this fan sympathized, I never knew what they felt until Reggie was gone. To all the above names mentioned, and to those I unintentionally neglected who passed away this year, the fans thank you for all of the memmies you have given us. You have welcomed us in to watch you perform your talent, and we are forever grateful to you for putting it on display. And we will miss your ability to blighten our days with a fadeaway jumper, a backwards victory lap, or a fastball right on the outside comer for a called strike three. But we will cherish these memories forever. That's all for now. Have a good Thanksgiving, and we'll chat again next issue.

Or in other words, what the majority deems wo1thy. If objects are to be valued based on their usefulness, then will someone please explain to me what soap grand scheme About as does. HE SAi D operas contribute to the of things. much as this column seriousness, the phenomas soap operas is a total enon known Inall mystery to me. So I turn to that pun intended) beacon (no of knowledge and wisdom, who will shine the light of her intellect onmy situation. Or I'll just settle for Amanda. If I know Amanda (and it isn't that difficult), she would respond by lashing out at men for watching sports. What do sports add to our lives, she would ask. So.ap operas provide the same oppmtunity for women as sports do for men: a release to a world which is totally unlike the real world. Sure, they do. Any comparison of athletic contests to afternoon pornography will from this point forward be stricken from the record. What the attraction is, I'm not sure. I do know that should you make the mistake of calling Amanda dming General H<JS1Jitlll, you will be chastised something fierce. The world seems to stop between 3 and 4 p.m. every day, when these ridiculous characters in this phony hospital slobber all over each other and engage in semi-incestuous relationships. In order to properly prepare for this column, I asked a friend of mine to analyze the recent life of one characters on NBC's Another World .. To wit: A certain character named Vicky was impregnated by her first husband and they had a child, although paternity tests were inconclusive as to the father of the baby. After divorcing her first husband, she began dating a police officer (detective), but then axed him for his brother, the U.S. Senator. They were manied, but it didn't last, even though he tried to force her to stay with him by kidnapping her and taking her to Switzerland after he shot her when she was up in Canada looking for the detective she used to date who was chasing this guy ... I know what you're thinking: Real plausible. Soap operas seemed to reach their zenith in the mid-1980s, and have since then taken a nosedive. Kind of like Amanda's sex life. With Dl!llas, Knots Landing, and Dynasty, soaps were among the most popular shows on television. But this was the 1980s, the period when greed was good and excess was the norm. Ridiculously far-fetched stmies of money and sex were appealing to lonely housewives who longed for the good old days when inen actually looked at them. What Amanda and other women her age who partake in soap operas must realize is that reality should be exciting and as fun as you can make it. They should not lament the lack of fun in their own lives while watching these fantasies and wishing that were them. Incidentally, I might point out that Amanda herself needs to realize that such an attractive woman as herself should be pleased with her situation, not longing to be head nurse on some ridiculous hospital soap. Take it for what it's worth, Amanda, because that's what he said. • Anarchy I Luke and Laura are back. But why? And just who is the father of Vicki's baby?

Prothe death and tragedy nted so many around the world , a man named Cleve Jones searched for a way to make people understand the overwhelming loss and frustration affecting him and so many of his friends. In June of 1987, Jones spray-painted his friend's name, Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of cloth approximately the size of a grave. Friends, acquaintances and strangers joined the effort by making panels of their own. Soon, thousands of people across the United States and around the world were adding names and expressing their emotions by creating hand-made mem01ials for the loved ones they had lost to AIDS. Today the Quilt continues as a powerful, visible symbol of the worldwide epidemic. It includes panels from all 50 states and 29 foreign countries.

The strange illumination of the room made him appear more a shadow than a real person. He sat at a distance from me, his hand covering his face. Still in the shadows, he asked that his identity not be revealed in this story. He hesitated at first, but then spoke freely and eagerly to an "outsider" about how AIDS has affected his life. "As of September 28, 1993, 94 have died and five or six more are expected to go at any time,'' he stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Imagine having a single disease virtually destroy the world as you know it. Over a ten year period, imagine having almost 100 people you know die. For one long-time member of this community, this is not something imaginary. It's something he has to face. AIDS is destroying life as the 60 year-old resident of the Wyoming Valley has known it. One by one, those dear to him have died. He does not have AIDS because, as he explained candidly, he has been "prima1ily asexual." For those who have died, as well as those who have lost someone to the disease, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was created. The Quilt contains over 23,000 panels, each commemorating the life of someone who has died of AIDS. Panels have been made by ftiends, family members and lovers and include a wide vaiiety of materials from favorite Tshirts to teddy bears. Each panel in the Quilt is a heartfelt message to a society struggling to comprehend AIDS, to bring AIDS out of the shadows. The Quilt began in San Francisco in 1987, as one person's protest against the AIDS epidemic. Cleve Jones spray-painted the name of his ftiend, Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of fabric approximately the size of a grave. It wasn't long before Jones' idea spawned the creation of thousands of hand-made memorials made by people for the loved ones lost to AIDS. Since then, the Quilt has become an international memorial that has taken on personal importance for many people. A 15 year-old New York girl, who lost her father to AIDS, designed a panel with a clear message for her father, "I wish he was still here with me. I think he will be happy to know that his is always on my mind." To the local resident who has lost 94 friends and loved ones to AIDS, the Quilt means some- Journey of light WILKES-BARRE- On December l, 1993 the community of Wilkes University will gather at 9:45 p.m. at the Clock Tower at the center of campus for a reflection on World AIDS Day. The gathering at the Clock Tower will reflect on AIDS through music, readings, remarks, meditations, silence and candlelight showing the journey that our world is on in light of AIDS. It is important to take some time out of our busy lives to focus in on the lives that are affected by AIDS the families and friends who have been touched. Students, faculty, administration, staff, the University Chorus with soloist Heather Petruzelli and the University Chamber Singers will lead us in the gathering. All members of the community and campus are invited to participate in this gathering. thing far more painful. How has losing so many people to AIDS affected him? "Severely. You eventually get to the point where you try to put it out of your mind," he answered. To combat the detrimental effects however, he hel:ped design two panels for the AIDS Quilt dedicated to one of his older, closest ftiends. When he heard that the Quilt was coming to Wilkes he called the NAMES Project in San Francisco and requested thatfour specific panel:, be sent as part of the display. Tw.o of the four panels are the ones he helped design. In spite of his emotional link to the Quilt, he will not be attending the display. "I just want to know they're here, that's enough." To him, the Qui! tis a painful reminder of all those he has loved and lost. He can't bring himself t(' actually go and see the panels. He can't watch the video that accompanies the Quilt. But just knowing that the ttibutes he helped create are there, commemorating one life and potentially saving another, is reason enough for him to bring the panels here. "If bringing the Quilt to Wilkes University saves one life, then it's worth it," was his final statement. Through an Interfaith Prayer Service, the community will join their prayers and thoughts together as they center on the scope of AIDS on December 5. ·The Wyoming Valley Council of Churches, the American Red Cross, the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council and St. Stephen's Church have prepared an Interfaith Prayer Service and a Candlelight Vigil Walk to Public Square to show their support and hope for the individuals affected by AIDS. The club behind the Quilt By KRISTY HALLAM Special to the Beacon The Student AIDS Awareness committee began as a result ofW orld AIDS Day which was held on campus last December. Due to the students' overwhelming response to the day, their thirst for knowledge, and their desire to increase AIDS awareness, the Student AIDS Awareness committee was born. Wilkes students recognized the incredible impact this disease has on our age group and the imp011ance of educating the community as well as ourselves. Since our beginning last January, hundreds of people have volunteered their time in countless forms.

There is something you can do to help Quilt Display Volunteers are needed at the Quilt Display as: 1) Quilt Monitors- Volunteers will stand at the corners of the panels and protect the display form any damage. Volunteers must wear white clothing and and shoes. 2) Readers-Volunteers will read the names of people who have died form AIDS for an interval of five minutes. 3) Volunteers are needed for panel check-in, NAMES Project merchandise sales, media check-in, greeting visitors and distribution of programs. Jeanne White Lecture.Volunteers are needed to greet visitors and distribute programs. Student and Community Information Expo- Student groups ( classes, clubs, etc.) are asked to develop a poster session regarding a specific issue related to HIV and/or AIDS . Many faculty are more than willing to help with this effort. Discussion Groups- Volunteers are needed to serve as peer counselors for these discussions with high school counsellors. Volunteers must attend a training session sponsored by the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council in order to serve in this capacity. Signature Squares- Individuals can prepare a 12" by 12" panel that expresses their feelings and experience with HIV and AIDS. These panels will be sewn onto the Signature Square to commemorate the display the NAMES Quilt at Wilkes University. Preparing a Panel-Anyone can assist in the preparation of a 3' by 6' panel remembering a loved one, friend or companion that has died of AIDS. Each panel will be displayed with the other 648 panels and eventually become incorporatd into the NAMES Quilt. Volunteers are vital By LANCE COSTELLO Special to the Beacon After over a year of preparation and $18,000 of donations, the Quilt will soon be arriving at Wilkes. More help is still needed for this project. So far approximately 400 to 450 people have volunteered their time. However, 200 volunteers are still needed. Many j obs are still open including volunteer support, quilt monitors, and emotional support. So, if you haven't volunteered yet, you can today by signing up at the health services or by leaving your name at the hotline number (831-4731). Diane O'Brien, coordinator of volunteers for AIDS week said, "It is an incredible honor that Wilkes is getting the Quilt and I hope that everyone takes part in this in some way. People should take advantage of it because it is so close." All donations will stay within the community, the benefactors being the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council, and the Wyoming Valley Dmg and .Alcohol Services.

But now the rest of the world has caught up with us and now we have to do something to stay in the race. "We [America] cannot go back to that [being the leader], not in our lifetime," Dankosky said, "This is a time of change. We are in a global economy." Bruns, of Wilkes University, was next at bat.

Young also stated that the unions are for better trade but not at the expense of workers, human values or the environment. Dankosky, of the Business Roundtable, explained why NAFTA was so important to both the United States as a nation, and Pennsylvania individually. He explained that NAFTA should not be thought of as liberal or conservative, or Democratic or Republican, but as an economic issue. He used a shock factor in deliveling his speech, telling the audience that whether they with Mexico's prices.

John Bauers, author of novels such as The Colony, Helene, and The Land <~fNyx, told Wilkes students who attended his lecture at Kirby Hall on Monday that they all could be writers if they follow this simple recipe. "If you want to be a writer, you've got to read!" he said. Bauers sta1ted reading at an early age because his parents encouraged reading. "Instead of getting the latest car, we had the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica." Bauers' exposure to books at an early stage in life encouraged him to write. In fact, according to Vice President of Academic Affairs J. Michael Lennon, Bauers, who is a personal f1iend of Lennon's, writes very well. "You're never put off by his w1iting." Lennon says. "He gives the illusion that you' re talking over a cup of coffee. This is a very complicated and difficult technique to develop." Lennon gave students an insightful introduction of Bauers, and relayed the author's adventure in a w1iting colony in Illinois, which inspired Bauers to write his highly acclaimed novel, The Colony. However, the author's personal address was much more telling. Bauer's waimed the audience with his Southern drawl that can be traced back to his childhood in Tennesse. He then went on to dispell popular myths about writers. "Writers move about society like Typhoid Mary. They keep a low profile in order to learn," he confessed. Contradictory to public opinion, all authors who are published do not become wealthypublicfigureslikeJohn Grisham, author of The Firm. In fact, Grisham is the exception to the rule. "Most people don't know you or what you've written," Bauers said. He gave an example of a typical conversation he might have at a cocktail or literary party. "What do you do?" asks the stranger. 'Tm a writer," Bauers responds. "What is your name and what have you written?" continues the stranger. "I wrote The Colony." Bauers replies. "The Colony?" asks the stranger. "Oh, I've read about it." Bauers admits that writers are teniffied of not being read by anyone beside relatives and close friends. W1iting is much more than getting a following according to Bauers. "It is a search for truth. The trnth of one's vision. Your goal shouldn't be to finish and move to a penthouse in New York." Bauers said that there is definitely a difference between how meri and women are portrayed in fiction, which is representative of real life. "Men are much more romantic than women." he says. "In Gone with the Wind, Scarlet was always the practical one taking care of the business and the plantation. Rhett Butler was the emotional romantic." Whether romantic or reasonable, Bauers closed with a very important word of advice for Wilkes students. "As college students it is important to be perceptive to your ideas," he said. He also encouraged students to write and get published. the special relationship between the United States and She stated the the U.S., as a primary commercial exercises the greatest difference over a Mexican's daily She also stated that Mexico is the third largest com partner to the U.S. next to Canada and Japan and is p · to surpass Japan next year.

The Circle K Club Of Luzerne County Community College (L.C.C.C.) sponsored a tent City Sleepout in Kirby Park on Saturday night. Donations of food, personal items, and money will be used to support VISION (Volunteers In Our Streets In Our Neighborhoods), a non-profit organization seeking to provide the area homeless with a place tostay and eat, and opprtunities to better their situaton. As the fianl project of "Into The Streets", several people decided to brave the cold temperatues and snow forecast on November 6 to sleep outside. Although around 150 people did show up to support the cause, only a handful stayed all night. The students originally planned to sleep under a pavillion, but plans changed when the temperature dropped below freezing. L.C.C.C. Circle K President Joe Pavlico said, "The concrete will just suck the heat tight out of you .. .The purpose of this is to raise awareness, not make people sick." So instead, the group slept on the ground under a bandshell which was used to entertain people during the early part of the evening. Dennison Hall is also one of about twenty VISION host sites in the area, and was utilized during this week for the homeless. Before being allowed to enter a site, the people are given · breathalyzer tests and are searched for drugs. The goal of the program is to work with the people so they can find a job. In fact, if the participants are not actively looking for a job, they are not allowed to remain at the shelter. One person at the Sleepout quipped, "If you stay here, where will the homeless people sleep?" Although the point was made in jest, it does raise a valid point. Homelessness is becoming an increasing problem in world society, and because community programs like VISION exist, we know it is not only an issue in the bigger cities. Some attribute the homelss situation to abuses of the social services, but that is not always the case. Divorce is someties a factor, especially in households where income is brought in by only one member. Relatively lacking in skills, a new divorcee may find it difficult to find an employer who will hire him or her. In other cases, single mothers cannot pay their bills and support their children. As a result, they are often evicted, leaving them homeless. Circumstance is the enemy more often than not. Perhaps it is people with VISION that are needed to help end this problem.

The Colonels will open their 1993-94 season by hosting the Wilkes Duals, a five team, roundrobin event beginning at 11 :00 a.m . in the Marts Center. Along With Wilkes, the Duals will feature teams from Seton Hall, Coppin State, Carson-Newman, and Central Connecticut State. Starting his 41 season at the helm of the Colonels wrestling program, Reese enters the year just nine wins short of the magical 500 mark. He would become only the second coach in wrestling history to top 500 wins, joining the retired Dale Thomas of Oregon State who has 636 wins. To get500 wins, Reese will go with a roster that is small in numbers, but big in talent. Among those returning are 134 pounder ·John Klessinger who was 14-13 as a freshman last year; 142 pounder BatTy Van Scoten who was 15-9 last year, and 150 pounder Mike Evans, who was 22-4 and finished sixth at the EIW A championships. Also returning are John Stout at 158 pounds who was 56 in limited action; Ray Monzon who was 5-11 at 167 pounds last year; Aaron Wurster who was 10-8 wrestling at 190 pounds; and heavyweight Heath Fleisher who was 23-9 as a freshman, Wilkes Crew competes in regatta including a school record of 12 pins. Fleisher also finished six th at the EIW A championships. "The numbers we have are small, but the kids are working hard each and every day in practice and that's all I can ask of them," said Reese. "With the tough schedule we face, it is going to be important for us to stay healthy. I won't have the luxury of being able to go deep into the roster for backups." Among those alread Colonels because of injury 177 pounders, Dave Habo and George Gurd Habowski had to have surgery and will be lost for year while Gurdock is g over a shoulder injury looks to be back in the s semester.

T he race was an allday event, go ing from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon. There were 392 teams from all over the country, as well as teams from Canada, at the event. Wilkes Crew raced in two events, the Woman's Eight and the Men's Quad. For the first time in Wilkes history, the crew team entered a Woman's Eight in competition. Coxswained by Noelle Puza, the Women's Eight took on a 3.2 mile course. Before starting the course the crew had to first row 3.2 miks up river to the starting point. Once under way, the girls rowed hard on a tough course against some very stiff competition. Once the heat was over, Wilkes Crew of a yea1 , will req Wilkes crew team at OccoQuan Regatta. ially wit y membei photo courtesy Steve Rawheiser had beaten the squad from William and Mary College. In the men's race, Wilkes competed in the Quad in a very tight race. In this particular heat, the crew team was not only up against the country's best college rowers, but also the top national rowers as well. The race got very exciting when a top national team from Baltimore started to gain on Wilkes. Wilkes had a 20 second head start on the team, but the Baltimore rowers closed it to a three or four second difference, just a half mile into the race. The Colonel's detennination then took over, and for the next•two miles, Wilkes was in an all-out war. The Colonel rowers would gain enough momentum to recapture their original 20 second lead and finish the regatta in amazing spirit. This regatta was the last one for Wilkes this semester, but the Crew team is planning to attend many more regattas this year, in the Wilkes-BatTe area, as well as around the nation. This week's "Colonel of the Week" is football player Jason Smith. Smith scored three touchdowns and rushed for 116 yards on 29 carries in Saturday's game with Kin He also became Wilkes' all-time leading rusher with yards in his career. Smith also became the sc ool' s first rusher to go over 1,000 yards in a season. 00 Colonels! !! pionship ll and Stacey : ar left due Boyer, ase the season .

"This is a great recruiting class," said Rickrode. "There is lots of talent in that group that will only get better as they mature and learn the collegiate game." Wilkes will open its 199394 season on the road at the Stony Brook (NY) Tournament this weekend.

"We need to grow as a team and overcome the loss of two key players," said the third year coach. "I'm very confident that this team will be just as exciting as last year's team." While Chinchar and Boyer are gone, the cupboard is not bare for the Lady Colonels. A lot of talent still remains in the likes of senior Colleen McGan-y, sophomores Lee Ann Azarewicz, Jamie Land, Michelle Shaffer, and Kristin McNally. McGarry, the lone senior on the squad, came back last year after sitting out one season and was tied for third on the team with 10.2 points per game. McGarry also averaged 5.2 rebounds per game. A three point threat, McGan-y was second on the team in three point field goals with 24, including a game winner against Moravian in overtime. Azarewicz, one of the most physical players in the Middle Atlantic Conference, also averaged 10.2 points per game, had 7 .2 rebounds a game and garnered a teamhigh 28 three pointers while coming off the bench. A probable staiter for the Lady Colonels, Azare.wicz' s numbers are sure to increase with more minutes. Land, a point guard, stepped in last year and handled the ball for Wilkes with the poise of three year veteran. The sophomore averaged 6.2 points and 1.6 assists for Wilkes in '92-'93. Shaffer,astarterlastyear at the two guard spot, averaged 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds a game while McNally came off the bench and provided key minutes as a backup point guard._ Others whoreturnforthe Lady Colonels from laS t year's team include ~ammy Palmer, Amy Kuzmik a nd Sarah Vandermark. "We have a strong nucleus of players back, but it will take some time for the new players to get adjusted to the system," Haag commented. "Through the early part of preseason all the players are working extremely hard." With a solid nucleus of players returning, Haag went out and recruited a group of student/athletes who could step in and compliment the returning players. Among the newcomers for the Lady Colonels are Toni Ann Capozzollo, a 5' 10" forward from PiusXHigh School in Bangor, PA; L01ie Heft, a 5' 10" forward from NE Bradford HS in LeRaysville, p A; Katrazyna Maziarz, a 6' 2" center from Susquehanna, PA; Christy Palilonis, a 5' 10" forward from Windsor HS, Windsor, PA; Shelly Vagnarelli, a 5'5" guard from Valley View HS in Archbald, PA; and Amy Webb, a 5'4" guard from Tenant HS, Warminster, PA. In addition, several new players, already at Wilkes, will be suiting up for the 199394 season including Karen Beling and Kim Kaskel. Wilkes will open its 199394 season on the road Saturday and Sunday in the Hartwick College Tournament. The Lady Colonels will debut at home on Tuesday, November 23 against Baptist Bible College.

Kei Takahashi is one or those new faces that is now becoming familiar here on cam pus. Kie is a graduate student from Japan who is wo rking towards he r Master's Degree in Education . I first met Kei in March or 1992 when she visited Wilkes with a group of students from Tamagawa University of Tokyo. They had come for a two week program to observe the American educational system . During her stay, Kei was impressed with the beauty and the histo ry of many of the buildings here a t Wilkes , and also with the friendliness of both the faculty and the stude nts. At that time, Kei was a junior :.tTamagwa University and had no definite plans concerning her graduate studies, except that she knew she wanted to study in the United States after graduation. Her decision to attend Wilkes University was prompted in part by Dr. Brieseth's suggestion when he visited Tamagawa University last January. Kci graduated from T amagawa University last M arc h with a B .A. in Education. Her goal is to obtain a Master's Degree in Education here at Wilkes and to return to Japan to become a guidance counselor. This past summer I had the opportunity to stay in Japan for six weeks with Yoshiko Shoji of Kawasaki City, Japan, who is also attending Wilkes. One of the high points of my stay in Japan was my visit to the campus of Tarnagawa University. Yoshiko and I atTived there by train and were greeted at the station by Kei and a J Adult Learner News group of stude nts fro m Tamagawa Unive rsity. Kei and the other students gave Yoshiko and me a tour of Tamagawa's campus. I was impressed with the beauty and the size of the campus. Like Wilkes, Tamagawa is a private university, however it is more than that. Tamagawa's educational institution begins at the kindergarten level. On the campus there are the kindergarten and elementary school, the middle sc hool, and the high school, along with the university. Many students begin and This is a weekly news fe;1Lurc inThe Be;1con with articles pertinent lo the a<lull learner anti nontraditional student.. If youhave an ystory i<le;L~ for this fo11ure ple;L~ewntact Gina M. Tagnani, News Editor, do The Beaconal 831-2962 The semester is finally over Hard to believe, but the e nd of the semester is upon us already . For those adults who returned to school a while back, it is another semester closer to graduation and for those adults who just completed their first semester back to school, the hardest is behind them With every day that passes you question many times if you are doing the right thing, and if going back to school is re ally worth all the sacrifices you made. or course you realize that the answer is a great big resounding yes ! For whe n it comes to bettering both yourself and your family no sacrifice can be too big or too small. Though there may be some adults leaving Wilkes University at the end of the se mester ( hopefully becaw;e the y are graduating), even more will appear on campus next semester. As reported early in the semester, statistics show that thenumberofadultlearnersis growing. This semester alone 'there were 506 undergraduate adult learners. No longer will you sit in a classroom and feel like the "granny" of the class. It seems like now that now the re is a good chance that the person sitting ne xt to you graduated from high school with you. Congratulations to all of you adult students who made it through the semester j uggling school and family or school and _job or whatever your particular situation may be. You made it through almost three and a half months of long lectures , lots of notetaking and endless hours of studying. Give yourselves a pat on the back, How many times have you been sitting in class and thinking to yourself that you could be at home watching ESPN's Sports Center or for the soap fans , "Days of Our Lives ·~ How easy it would have been to call it quits, but you prevailed, stuck with it and made it through the semester. After you finish your final your teacher isn't going to give any special award. However, your family and friends will give you all the congratulations and encouragement that you will need. What it comes right down to is that you came back to s'c hool to be tter yourself so it really doesn 't matter what the 18 yearold student you 're sitting next to you thinks of you or if the teacher is wo ndering if he/she is going too fast for you. More than likely, the 18 yearold is thinking, "Hey, that person is somewhat older than me and they're back in school. Cool !" And the teacher is more than likely thinking, "at least I know that one person is listening to 1ne." What does matter is that you e nd their entire educational Tamagawa. I was impressed wiih university in many ways was glad fo r the invitation tour the campus.I had a derful time in Japan. Many of my experie were no t only very enjoy but educational as well. anyone who has the op nity to visit Japan to take advantage of it. You will learn many about another people and culture, and in the pr~ will undoubtedly learn m about yourself. -Darle11eJ ______ .... .. .. ....... . _,. . . ................................... . . .................................. ..... ::CRUISE SHIP J ............ - ................... ... . ..................... ,,. ... ,. . ....... ... .._ A ...

For it was probably one of the hardest things you ever did, but you did it and you are here and just about ready to take your final exams. You made it this far and you can make it all the way from here. Next semester we would like to start some type of organization for adult learners. We would like to get a place where only adult students can go and sit and study or talk with their peers about whatever is on their mind. If you wo uld like to help out in the organization of such a group or just be a part of the group contact either myself at 287-8829 or Gina Tagnani at The Beacon office. Good luck with your finals.

Thi: presense of the AIDS Quilt dming the Wilkes AIDS Awareness Week touches many. Although it touches everyone, it hits everyone in a different way. I feel that it is a great honor for the Quilt to be here at Wilkes and from the turnout lhat I have seen, I think most people would agree with me. What does the Quilt mean to you? Have you gone to see it yet? There is still time you know. For someone who hasn't been touched personally yet by lht: disease, like myself, the Quilt was moving. However, it was hard to know how to feel. It was emotional to think of the familit:s and loved ones that have been left behind. I found mysdf thinking how hard it must be for these people and I couldn't imagine it ever happening to me. Unfortunately, I know that the odds of this disease never coming within my circle of friends and loved ones are not good. It was definite! ya new expe1ience because I did not know what to expect. I had heard of the Quilt but I could not picture iL For many, including myself this will most likely be a onetime expe1ience. One person I talked to described the Quilt in a way that I bad not thought of before. She said it was like having a graveyard in our gym . In a way, that is exactly what it is. Each panel is a memorial to one or more loved ones who have died. Some of the panels were very personalized while others were simple. , The panels also brought to life the fact that their are many different people who are affected. There are panels present for men, women, children.gays, blacks, whites and all different backgrounds. For me, although they are all tragic, the panels made for the children who have died are the most upsetting. Education is the key to understanding and preventing this disease and the Quilt is the heart of that education. Until a cure is found, are only weapon against AIDS is knowledge.

I'm graduating after this semester, but didn't want to leave without a few last words. Since I've spent four and a half years finishing my four year degree, I have to he one of the last students that remembers Wilkes College. The SUB and The Bookstore (now Wilkes University. the snackbar, and the Campus Shoppe, respectively.) Despite these few changes, many things have remained untouched by the passage of time, one most prominent is that Financial Aid is still an oxymoron. A rebuke? Well, maybe. Anyway, I'll have more time to reminisce standing in employment lines, so I'll move onward *** to more important things. All of us at the Beacon would like to wish you luck on First, and of course, most important, "I did it, Mom!" Also I'd like to thank my best friend, Jim. fmals and we hope you have a happy holiday and a safe break. I hope that you're both proud.

I would like to thank Teri and Julie for all that they have I'd also like to make a special dedication to Mr. Fuller of the Art Department (the man who's done for us this semester.

NEWS �P AGE6 , D ECEMBER 2, 1993 THE BEACON "The Christmas $pirit" BY SEYMOUR BUTZ To get you all in the mood: "Tis the season lo spend money, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la: Can I have Your Visa, Honey? fa-la-la-la-la; la-la-la-la Well, you gel the idea The shopping season is upon us, and Amanda is visiting clothing stores as much as Lorena Bobbit is collecting cutlery. Now · don't get me wrong; Seym o u r does not condemn the lesser sex's for pmg. just the excess with which women shop. Before Amanda hits any mall, she goes to U-haul to rent the proper equipment to carry her packages. And it's still not enough. But why am I complaining? Gentlemen, we may complain abotu these actions, but why should we? In this holiday season, it's better that women give thean receive, especially when they are giving to us. Rule Number l of being a man: Greed is good. When the shoe is on the other foot, and we have to do the shopping then the dilema becomes worse. Recently one fo Seymour's amigos complained that his girlfriend had l'lought him muliiple presents, while he was having difficulty finding one thing for her. In typical Seymur fashion, I asked, "So Whats' the problem?" But thsi is the holiday season, and I guess we need some kind of moral. So combining two common features we end with a i993/94 morality holiday quiz. Question: Which of the following should you tell your mate this Holiday season? A: " Amanda, when they say the economy is poor, they don't want you lo simulate il by yourself." B: "Amanda, what's this Lorena Bobbit Yule Log you bought?" C: "Amanda, I really love you. Now give me back my wallet." D: All of the above The answer is "D" , gentlemen. That's what he says. HE SAID The Staff of The Beacon wishes everyone very happy holidays and we look forward to our first issue of the Spring Semester on Feb. 2, 1994. By AMANDA HUGINKIS Seymour and I had originally planned to discuss the Bobbitt battle this week, but, in the end, we chose a subject that was a little less painful and hopefully, a lot more humorous. Scalpels aside (Sorry Seymour, you can uncross your legs.), it's that time of the year again. Yep, you guessed it. With Thanksgiving dinner still settling in your tummy, the holiday shopping season is upon us. While fighting the crowds of frenzied shoppers and battling the cars in the parking lot for that las ts pot by the door is enough to give anyone a headache, guys and gals have a more seiious problem atltand-what to get each other. No matter what, I always hear some of my friends moaning about what they ' re going to buy for their ctment flame at Christmas time. Or, even scarier, what their man might buy for them this year. · So to further the relationship between men and women, I have prepared a short list of do's and don'ts for holiday shopping for that special someone in your life. We'll cover the female side of this first, since that inevitably will be the easiest. First and foremost guys, no matter how often she says, "I don't care what you buy me" or ''I'd like anything as long as it' s from you," don't believe her. Every female knows exactly (down to the specific store where the gift should be purchased from) what she wants from her guy. Keep that in mind while shopping and listen to those subtle hints she may be dropping. Now that the pressure's on to perfonn, here's that promised list of do' s and don 'ts for youto follow. (And trust me, I've been getting bad gifts for years, so I'm a veiifiable expert on this subject.) , *Don•-~ purchase jewelr_y_ with ~ny typy of heait on it. _It was cu_te in seve'.1th grade, bu~ the 12 pieces o f heart Jewelry tram . previous beaus will last me a lifetime thanks. (Can someone please explain to m why guys insist on buying heart jewelry?) *Don't buy anything pinl *D~n't ~uy.th~ wron l s'.ze in clothing. If_i~ doubt, go with a size __ --She ll love you even 1111 is a pink. *Do be original when it comes to buying a gift for that special gal. you into something you know your girlfriend will hate. *Do shop before December 24. *And do keep your gift ideas to yourself. Why is it that a girl's best friend and her mother alway know way in advance what THE gift is going to be? Take it from me, this male habit only makes a bad gift worse. Imagine hearing about THE gift for three weeks only to find out that it is a cheap $5 bottle of imitation perfume. Now on to the ladies. Not much advice is needed here since most of us are world class shoppers, but I promised Seymour I'd pass on a few hints for his ... mom. *Don't bother with cute wrapping. Guys never notice that kind of stuff. _ *Don ' t purchase tickets to "The Nutcracker" in hopes of enlightening your guy's appreciati1 of th~ arts. Trust me, he won't appreciate it. *Do purchase anything electronic. Guys love any type of toy, especially if it's sports rela *Do buy something you can wear, just in case he doesn ' t like it. Follow the above lists and I'll guarantee you a menier Christmas. So you see, shopping for the holidays isn't as hard as it may seem at first. The important th' to remember, all joking aside, is that it really is the thought behind the gifl'"thal matters. As wi so m_any o_ther _things, what the gift is isn't really the issue here. It' s what the gift says abouty relatwnslup with each other that makes a present so special. __ So take heart (not literally please) all you starving college students, you can still give the pert· gift to that Seymour or Amanda in your life even if you are down to the last dime. Simply something nice, something unexpected to let your significant other know you appreciate the · you share together. Clean her car. Bake those cookies you ' ve always promised.

Strawberry Jam is a quintet that is comprised of John Shemo and Lee Matchett on guitars, TeITy Cummings on bass guitar, Dave Chaump on keyboard, and Ron Blight on the drums. Shemo also plays a mean hannonica. All five sing, which gives the band more versatility, so they can play a wide variety of songs. StrawbeITy Jam plays classic rock, and they play it well. They cover such great bands as The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, and, of course, The Grateful Dead . They also have quite a few original songs which they usually include in their set. I've seen a lot of local bands play their original songs, and I can say that the Jam's originals are the best I've heard yet. With titles like "Rubber Room" and "Feelin' Happy" (which sounds like it was influenced by the Allman Brothers), these songs clearly define rock and roll. The guys in StrawbeITy Jam are all first rate musicians. Each member plays his instrument like they were born to play it. The "jam" in StrawbeITy Jam tells exactly what they are doing in their songs-the group jams! You could usually hear 1 number of great solos during any of their songs, which sometimes last as long as ten minutes. They also do something that I haven't heard many bands do - bass solos. Cummings usually plays a blistering bass solo on songs like "Funk #49" by the James Gang. Another instrument that is essential to Strawberry Jam's sound is the harmonica. Shemo enhances their songs with a harmonica just as John Lennon and Bob Dylan were known to do. Shemo usually plays a wild harmonica solo on "Josephine" and "Who Do You Love." Another reason why Strawberry Jam appeals to me is beacuse they cover songs I would never expect to hear. One such example is the "Sun King" medley from The Beatles last album Abbey Road. Strawberry Jam plays it beautifuuly. Shemo and Matchett even trade guitar solos dming the song,just as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison did on the original version. Another song I never expected to hear from them is the Rolling Stones' tune "Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker." The Jam's version sounds as if the Stones could have been playing it themselves - it is flawless . The Jam also plays great versions of Jethro Tulls "Locomotive Breath, "Badge" by Cream, and Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken." At every one of Strawberry Jam's shows, it promises to be a great time. The group puts a lot of energy into their perfonnances. If you want to hear some talented musicians play and hear some great music, go out and see StrawbeITy Jam. The group plays every Sunday night at the Cabaret in Kingston, as well as at other bars in the area the rest of the week. Their first CD "Spread the Jam" is due out in stores soon. I can't wait to hear the Jam 's new CD or see them agam. fl By L YNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE F eotures Editor Jeanne White, Ryan White's mother, travels the nation to speak about AIDS and her son.

There's also more of Hornsby's trademark piano sound than on his last album, evident from the onset. Another major difference is that Harbor Lights is Hornsby ' s first album without the Range. Hornsby drafted other musically diverse "kindred spirits" including (in addition to Garcia), Raitt, Phil Collins, Branford Marsalis, and Fishbone guitarist John Bigham. The end result, besides the pronounced jazz influence, still shows folk character which marked Hornsby' s stellar 1986 debut The Way It Is. "This is not necessa1il y my most accessible record," Hornsby states. "But I was never interested in being ' the big star' or trying to make an album of hit songs.

It's hard to believe that another semester is here. lt seems just like yes terday I__ was shopping for Christmas gifts and now here we are buying Valentine's Day presents. I chose not to get out or the hahit or studying and took an intersession class. I heard all kinds or horror stories about intersession classes and I was somewhat nervous about taking one hut it turned out to he 4uite harmless. Learning over the break wasn't confined to the classroom. I learned it's possible to survive several feet or snow and -21 degree weather. Another lesson for me was that the next time I take my car to the garage I'll take anything that is in the car and anything that can he removed from the car off (i.e., Orioles license plate and frame, money and hubcaps.) That isn't exactly hypothetical. But, it proved to me that, ir nothing else, there is one other Oriole fan in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Well, we're growing in numher. Adult learners that is. We're looking forward to starting an Adult Learners Association this semester so that the 24 and older crowd can meet with their peers. Returning to college or even starting college for the first time is not an easy decision to make, I can most certainly attest to that. Once you've decided to return to school you've got to try hard to stay there. It is important to have your peers cheering you on and to have others in a similar ir not same situation as you to he there for you when you'reready to throw in the towel. I lucked out in that respect because last semester when I returned to school I met a girl who became a good friend. She isn't an "adultleamer"(although she understands the needs of adult learners very well). She was the one who kept me going last semester and even though she doesn't know this, when I was ready to "throw in the towel" she was 1ight there and said the right things and pulled me through. There aren't many people like her around. That's why I'm lucky. Not trying to insult anyone else, hut her kind are few and far bet ween. In fact, as far as I can see her only bad trait is her choice of baseball teams, hut that's neither here nor there. It's important to have someone who understands what you're going through. Someone who'll he there for you and that's why we want to initiate an Adult Learner Association. I know things will seem tough the next few months hut you'll make it through. If you find the classes seem to he a little difficult because it has been a while since you were in high school. I highly i·ecommend you take advantage of the Act 101 program. It's a tenific program and it helps tremendously. Youcan find the Act 101 office on the thirdfloorofConyngham Hall. If you're problem stems from that fact that it's just too much, tum to another adult learner and you'll he amazed how much the load will be lightened. Good luck this semester to all of the adult learners. -Sandy Kendig World Travel.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist Welcome back, faithful reader, to the chatter that doesn't stop, but just takes long breaks. As usual, sincere wi shes for a successful and enlightening semester. Cold enough for you'! So much has happened since December and most or those issues will be addrcsseu in this column. The weather has captured more than its share of air time and it continues to chill. Ir you like snow , then this winter has been fruitful; if you're into power crises, then you ' re in your glory right now . Some issues have been predktable. The I3ills lose in the Super I3owl , and a Clinton nominee resigned while accusing the world of conspiring against him. Senator I3ill I3radlcy or New Jersey, when asked why he would vote not to confirm Mr. Inman ror Secretary of Dclensc, responded that he didn't like the sound or. "Bobby Ray, where are the missi les'!" Speaking of President Clinton, he's momentarily avoided any fallout from the Whitewater "scandal." And his 90 minute pep rally last Tuesday was very impressive. I3ut make no mistake about it, he'll have quite a fight on his hands over health care. Cold enough for you'! And how 'bout them Cowboys!'! But the most interesting thing right now is the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan affair. The way I see it, Harding would have made a wonderful Secretary or Defense. Her shady past has been hashed and rehashed an<l all indications are that she is guilty. As of this writing. she is still on the Olympic Team. Forgive me ir this is outdated. but copy will hang my butt out to dry if the chatter isn't punctual. Although we can ' t convict her right now, she should not be on the Olympic Team. Could you sec Tonya and Nancy rooming together in Lilehammer'! Memo lO Nancy: sleep with one eye open. I'm saddened to report the departure of one of my original staff. As you know, my tenure as News Editor was brief, but it was brightened by having Allyson Hannigan as a writer. Ally has left school ti.If personal reasons and all who know her will miss her terribly . More than once I can remember Ally rescuing me with a story that I assigned late. To Allyson: Communications misses you, the Chatter misses you, and we all hope to see you again. Cold enough for you'! How 'bout them Cowboys!'! And go Wilkes, beat Scranton. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. To the Editor: I mn the Vice-President of Student Government and :un chairperson of the recently redesigned Oun pus F<x>ll Committee.

The students' explanations for wanting to help vary from a chance to improve "their [own] self value," to "being able to contribute to others less fortunate." Although the group has no idea of what to expect come March 12, when asked about last year's volunteer trip to Florida, senior Mike Holly found "that helpmg others was something I enjoyed and through this trip I learned a lot about myself and others.

There are ma ny differen t yuestions that arise and need to be answered when dealing with th is iss ue .. As with most controve rsia l subj ects there are a co uple of different opinions. Some viewers feel there is too m uch violence on TV and it sho uld be regulated by the tele visio n ne tworks and the government before it reaches the households. Others believe TV vi o lence should be left up to the viewer Lo detenn ine and reg ula te acco rding to the ir own personal preference. Unfortun ately their is no clear-cul way of dealing wi th this issue. (Is there ever one?). T he problem with the view that television should he reg ulated before it reac hes the households is that it takes away the viewer's freedom of choice. Many say that they should be able to watch whatever they want Lo. However, leaving viewing regulation up to individual watchers doesn't Lake into consideration today's youth. This last argument also has two sides. Some people would say that we, as a nation, must regulate and protect what our young viewers watch on TY . Others feel that the regulation or TV for young viewers should be up to the parents of the children. Finally, who is lo say that TV is violent in the first place? Why does the violence need lo he regulated? Is it because some people feel the violence on TV is affecting the violence in the world today? Is it because people are trying to hide from the reality of the violence in our society? Who is to say that TV violence has any influence over the way people (both adults and children) act? As you can see, there are many difficult decisions that need to be made regarding this issue. Whal is your opinion on this issue?

Anyone travelling through Stark Lobby on Tuesday can testify to the long waiting lines of this computer game. When students were asked if they were turned off by the wait, the answer was almost always no. Students received two tickets each to use on the machines. After students used their tickets there was a nominal fee. Students who really enjoyed Virtual Reality seemed to have no problem dishing out the extra dollar. All of the students I spoke to had neverexpe1ienced Virtual Reality and were anxiously awaiting their tum. A few of the comments from students were: " I'm a virgin, a Virtual Reality virgin; I'm pumped; This is cool, very cool; It's wild, awesome; This is better than that thing [computer music video simulation] that they [Programming Board] brought last time; I'm really excited."

Movie Review: "Other People's Money" a hit with the crowds By TOM MACKEWICZ Features Writer Although it was a huge hit on the big screen, few people realize that "Other People's Money," a seething black comedy about greed and a small town's futile attempts to protect against it, was a long-running hit on the New York stage as well. This past weekend Showcase Theater presented its revival of the Jen-y Sterner play . In the play, Lawrence Garfinkle is a New York take-over artist who has set his sights on New England Wire and Cable, a small-town industry run by 65-year-old Andrew Jorgenson. Not wanting to be a sitting duck, Jorgy' sable secondin-command Bill Coles hires a lawyer. Attorney Kate Sullivan is an attractive girl who happens to be the <laugh terofJ orgy's long-time lover Bea. Family grievances are aired as the corporate battle is waged. Kate not only fights with Garfinkle but also locks horns with the stubborn Jorgy as well. Kate falls for Garfinkle butGarfinkle' s ideas of love are strongly tested along the way. Eddie Reynolds delivered a strong standout perfmmance as the flashy and an-ogant New York take-over artist. Reynolds nearly stole the show as he fleshed out Garfinkle' s strengths and weaknesses. He was despicable, yet likable. Dawn Korvs made Kate Sullivan a pleasing character at every turn. Korvs shone as the attractive and gutsy chainsmoking young lawyer. Her scenes with Reynolds were some of the show's best. Sam Troy, although sometimes awkward in movement, was convincing as the old Andrew Jorgenson. Troy delivered a fine speech on oldfashioned business ethics. Russel Curtis delivered a sympathetic perfo1mance as Bill Coles as he kept the audience informed of the action and the needs of the average American. Over all "Other's Peoples Money" proved to be a hit for the Showcase Theater and all involved. Organize 15 fri and your trip i FREE!

Unable to escape from his opponent within 30-seconds, Fleisher lost his match and Wilkes lost the meet 20-17. Fleisher's loss in overtime marked the third time that day that a Wilkes matman went into overtime and lost. The loss leaves the Wilkes wrestlers with a losing streak of ten in a row. Hopefully that streak ended on the night of this p1inting, at a home match against East Stroudsburg. The Colonels next home match is Wednesday, February 16, at 7 :30. at three which moved them into sudden death. Still tied at three at the end of sudden death, they were forced into a 30-second rideout. This meant that the winner of a coin toss got to choose if he wanted control or not. If the wrestler in control stayed on top he won and if the wrestler on the bottom escaped from his opponent, he won. Fleisher won the coin toss and chose to be on the bottom. The first try Fleisher was able to escape from his opponent but the officials called the men out of bounds. Once again they got into his win with a pin and both Evans and Stout had a major decision. With three straight wins, the Colonels were up 17-6 and had hopes of ending their losing streak at nine. However, F&M came back strong winning two in a row to tie the meet at 17. With the score tied, heavyweights Heath Fleisher of Wilkes and Andrew Sharader of F&M stepped up to the mat, knowing that whoever won their match won their respective team a victory.

The Colonels came into the game with a 17-2 overall record and sole possession of first place in the Freedom League with an 8-1 mark. The Monarchs are 11-8 overall and 7-3 in league play. An interesting note to last night's match-up is that the last time the Colonels lost a game was back on January 20, when the Monarchs came into the Henry Gymnasium and beat the Colonels 73-66. This time, Wilkes not only wants to avenge that earlier loss, but a Colonel win would almost lock up an MAC playoff spot with just four games to go. This past week, Wilkes won both of its contests over Lycoming College (90-64), and Drew University (8575). li1 the win over Lycoming, the Colonel defense held the Warriors to just 41 percent from the field.

This is a week! y news feature in The Beacon with articles pertinent to the adult learner and nontraditional student.. II you have any story idea~ for this reature please contact Gina M. Tagnani, News Editor, c/o The Beacon at rn-2962 Adult learners go for the gold Before Dan Jansen there was E1ic Heiden. You remember him he won five gold medals in the 1980Winter01ympic games in speed skatmg. Back 111 1980 I thought he was the greatest thing to come along since peanut butter and jelly Poi Tarts. Eric retired from speedskating but he never really gave up the Olympic limelight. You can still sec him at the Olympics on CBS as the color commentator for w h at else, speedskating. I am the type of person who can never get too muc h of the Olympics, although I must confess that I have had more than my share or the Harding/Ken-igan story. While watching the Olympics this past weekend, I came to find out that, like myself and all of our other adult learn- student in college. Yes, America's winningest Olympic speedskater is also an adult learner. This got me to wondering how many other Olympic adult learner/athletes there are out there. Norway's Johann Olav Koss, who just this week won the gold medal in the men's 500m in speed.skating, is studying to be a doctor. From America, pairs' figure skater 26- year-old Jason Dungan is a student at the University or Michigan. In 1992 a guy by the name of Paul Wylie, at the age of 27, was finishing up his senior year at Harvard and at the same time earning a silver medal in men's figure skating in the Olympics. After taking a short break Wylie will be going back to school to earn his law degree. If you are watching the Olympics take a look at the people over the age of 24 who are competing and also going to school. There seems to be at least these athletes are doing is no easy task. They're getting up early every morning to train, going to classes, and returning back to train in their respective sport. Let's not forget that somewhere in between classes, practice and competition these people are (are .you ready for this'!) studying!!! By no means is it easy, but they're doing it. Just like in all of our cases, the pressures are also there for these Olympic athletes. They have the pressures of bills, family, studies and competition. Also remember that some of these athletes do need to earn some money. They, just like us, also work through their pressures and problems. They too depend on their families and peers for support and encouragement. That's why it's so sad to see someone fall and be eliminated or drop a few places in the standings. They worked so hard for that one moment. To think of all the training these athletes put in, and then to hear some of them also go to college, is incredible. I find it hard enough just going to school and working a part time job, never mind training to go to the Olympics or anything else for that matter. My point here is that if you put your mind to it nothing is too hard. We may not have the same pressures that the traditional student<; have, but we do have pressures and most or the time they are far from few and not always easy. Look at the E1ic Heidens, Jason Dungens and Paul Wylies of the world. They may be just the thing that you need. Imagine, E1ic Heiden a college student. Studying to be a doctor at the age of 35. When most doctors are reti1ing will just be starting out. In 1980 he was older than me and now we are in the same situation doing the same thing. If he can do it, I can do it too.

Also, there is the question of what does r Nature have in store for us in the future? When it comes to snow and the decision of what to do classes, I think it is obvious when every other school in area is cancelling that we here at Wilkes, should cancel This past Friday (Feb. 11) was ridiculous. While all of the es re inf :z Ka of M at 83 PAGES FORUM tions. 978, the • ~•nee 1>0 sl 17, 1994 ls in the area had cancelled school before 7 a.m., Wilkes no action at all.

(Even 98.5 KRZjumped and said that Wilkes was cancelled in the morning with all of the rest of the schools.) Most of the roads in and around Wilkes-Barre were not cleared and meanwhile the snow continued to fall. Even acompressed schedule, which is what Wilkes opted for, s were not better, but worse, by 10 a.m. Although I do realize that we need to fullfill a certain t of hours for our students in class, I don't feel making dents and professors risk their lives to get to class is the todo it. Wilkes did finally agree to dose down at l :45 p.m. ver, what about the commuters that left early for class to the weatheronly to anive at the school and find out that was planning on closing? Until this area can replenish their salt and sand supplies start cleating away the snow and ice there is no hope. But is there hope?

The Wilkes University men ' s basketball has swept the season series with Scranton for the first time in a long time. Hearty congratulations go out to Coach Rickrode and the rest of the team. They have brought back much of the athletic pride that Wilkes had lost over the years. I have had the pleasure of broadcasting both the men's and women's team this year. Along with my tag team partner Michael Noone, I was amazed and entertained by the quality of basketball that has been played this year. The amazing thing is the youth of these teams. The ladies will only lose one senior,and the young team played superbly this year. The heartbreaker against Delaware Valley this past Saturday was very tough to take, but the b1ight light remains: the girls will he tough to heat next year. As for the men, well, what can you say'! If you had the pleasure of seeing the performance against Del Val, you saw the high-flying athletic talent at its maximum. If you had the pleasure of listening to the radio broadcast, you heard Mike and myself speechless - which is quite a feat for us. If all went well last night against FDU-Madison, then the Colonels are at a plateau of 20 wins, which has been rare. It all starts at the top and Coach Rickrode and Coach Haag have not only coached h1illiantly, but also recruited masterfully. Playoffs, anyone'! Speaking of sports, you fans of college basketball were hopefully shocked and appalled by the run-in between John Chaney and John Calipari after the UMass-Temple game on Sunday. After a close win, it was overheard that Calipari was complaining ahout the officiating. So Mr. Chaney took matters into his own hands by walking into Mr. Calipari's press conference and screaming at him. When Calipari tried to respond, Chaney told him to "shut up" and then said 'Tl! kill you." Next game, Chaney has promised that his players will go after the UMass players. The President of Temple University brushed off the incident, and when interviewed by ESPN, said that the network should he pleased by the incident, because it will boost the ratings for the rematch, to he carried by ESPN. Classy bunch. Now on to truly classy people. The Chatter was saddened to hear of the passing of President Breiseth's mother on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Breiseth family as they cope with this great loss. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. ~ Organized Anarchy By JOSEPH RAE Columnist Two weeks ago, 68 people died in a Sarajevo market, slaughtered as they tried to carry on with their lives. The cowards in the hills did it. And they'll do it again. Life in Bosnia will go on. And we, the West, have failed. Over 22 months have passed since Yugoslavia erupted into civil war. In that same time, we have filled the international scene with empty promises. But now, we promise to do something, anything. Air strikes, lifting the arms embargo against the Muslims, anything to stop the siege. Too little, too late. Way too late. We failed. And we will he paying the p1ice of that failure for years to come. Because if anyone believes this will stop in the Balkans, they're sorely mistaken. Every two-hit leader with is eyes on the property next door is watching. And planning. And he knows the West will do nothing. We may have won the Cold War, hut we're losing the peace. The fall of the Berlin Wall simply meant the closing of one door and the opening of another. But we have never acknowledged that fact. And probably won't, until it's too late. The world today is a rather scary place. North Korea, South Africa, the Middle East, Russia ... Bosnia could be just the beginning. I just wonder if the cowards in the hills know that. �FEBRUARY PAGE6 17, 1994 Security UPDATE-By PATTY PUERLING Editor-i11-Chief , Wilkes University cm~f"orms with Pennsylvania Act #73 and the Federal Right to Know Campus Security Acto <~ti 990.

Last semester, the Orga. ·tional Communications s, with direction from inctors Dr. Jane Elmesrahall, Communications partment, and Scott fish, Director of Instituonal Research, sent surveys l!asample of full-time commuter students. About what, you ask? s rs Parking, or the lack thereof, at Wilkes. Although people who receive surveys through the mail might find it tiresome to fill them out and return, the amount of work the organizational communications student~ put into the survey far exceeds the amount of effort to fill it out. Conducting a survey is a common way to audit specific groups of people, but it is actually a fairly complex research procedure in communications. The students chose to survey commuter students over outside topics from lo- cal corporations. The students saw parking as an escalating problem at Wilkes, especially with the campus completion plan. The class had many brainstorming sessions on the topic and decided to elaborate and refine the parking issue. Because of the data Elmes-Crahall had available to her as a member of the Recruitment and Retention Task Force, the students were aware of studies indicating that commuter students are often out of the loop, uninfo1med about campus activities and less in- volved than on-campus student~ in University activities. The class then devised questions to discover who commuters are, what their needs are and how they receive information and communication from Wilkes. The survey, which is five pages long, is actually three times shorter than it once was. Included in the survey are many opportunities for the students to offer suggestions on how to improve problems at Wilkes. Although most people feel their opinion won· t count, this survey does mat- ter a great deal. Unlike all other university-generated surveys, this one was a student-initiated project whose results, if complete and sound, will be brought to the attention of the administration. The organizational communications group is hoping for strong survey results. For those of you who received a survey, but didn't return it, additional copies can be picked up and returned to the Institutional Research Center on the third lloor of Weckesser Hall. 7 �PAGES F ElllWARY ROVING RI: PORT I: R 17, 1994 By LYNNMARIE ROSENCRANCE Features Editor Do you think Wilkes' compressed schedule and class cancelation during inclima weather is timely and effective? me 111 Cathy Kobilinski Nancy Kulikoski No, they wait too long.

"A friend of mine, Mau DiBernardo, is an assistant coach at Tampa Catholic and sent me a tape asking me to look at one of his players," said Jones. "After I saw the tape I told him I wanted to recruit the tailback [Powell]. My friend laughed and said that Elijah Powell could go anywhere he wanted on a football scholarship.

Wilkes could share a tie for fourth place with a win tonight. On Thursday, February 10, the Lady Colonels played host to Marywood College and racked up their fourth straight win in a six-day span. Itseer:ied like Coach Karen Haag's young squad had matured and stepped up a notch after losing all but one of their upperclassmen leaders. Three sophomores took control and showed what they were capable of in the game against Marywood. Sophomore Michelle Shaffer led all scorers with her career-high 24 points. She also added solid play by accumulating seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Lee Ann Azarewicz also gave the Lady Colonels a solid performance, poming in 16 points, a game-high 11 rebounds, and six assists. Jamie Land hit doubles with 15 points, seven boards, two assists and three steals. But on Saturday, February 12, the Lady Colonels winning streak came to a crashing halt with a 52-51 loss to Delaware Valley at the Marts Center. The loss also hurt, but did not end any hope of a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) playoff berth for the Lady Colonels. Going into the half, Wilkes held a five point lead over Del Val , 30-25. However, the Aggies sparked in the second half or play and went on a 13-5 run to take the lead, 38-36. With :06 left on the clock, the Wilkes Lady Colonels had one last try for a victory as Melanie Falkiewicz of Del Val missed the front end of a one and Olm one. Azarewicz got the rebound and drove the length of the court to try and score. However, Azarewicz was tied up by three Aggies as the buzzer sounded. One of the bright spots on the evening was given to the Lady Colonels by sophomore Amy Kuzmic. Kuzmic had a career high 14 points and 19 11 lHIOMlE rebounds. Also receiving double figure status was Shaffer who WlililCIE chipped in with 15 points. The Lady Colonels wrap up the season with two games on tlie road.
