Until midnight, drink s were served to those students who were given wristband ID' s and students danced the night away. Alth ough eve ry one claimed to enjoy their night, ma ny students complained about the cost of their ticket, which didn't even inc lude an open bar. "I payed $18 for my ticket and expected that at least the drinks wo uld be free. Not only did we have to pay, but a 12 oz. beer cost $2.50. I'm soJTy, but I find that a little ridiculous," stated one anonymous Wilkes student. Jim Talerico also stated, "although the food was good and I had a really great time, I think another choice of food could have been offe red . Maybe next year, they could set up some sort or buffet.'' The following day, Wilkes hosted Juanita for their annual Homecoming football game. Students, parents, and alumni from all over, crowded into Ralston Field where the Students request Tyrone Tutt lVIemorial Fund By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Due to the tremondous loss of a fellow worker and friend, a memorial fund has been set up for Tyrone Tutt. Since school was not in progress when his death occmTed, not many students were aware of the reasons behind his absence. "Some thought he had just left Wilkes for a awhile. No one really knew the real story. The students wanted to do something in memory of this great man and a memorial fund seems to be the answer" stated Jane Kwiatkowski, head of the memorial fund. Since so many people felt they owed something in his memory, large canisters have been set up at eac h doo r of the cafeteria and at the ex it of the sub. Although it is unknown what wi ll be done with the money raised, at the present time, a trust fund has been opened in Tutt's name at a local Wilkes-Ba~rre bank. Anyone who has any ideas about the memorial fund can call Denny Drezek at ext. 4991. Homecoming festivities were underway. The parking lots were full of tailgaters who got an early start in the festivjtes around 9:30 am. Hot dogs and hamburgers burned on the grills, music blared in the background , and beer cans lay at the feet of all the partygoers. By the 2nd quarter of the gam e, people started to stumble in for the announcement of the 1994 Homecoming King and Queen. The final court. which consisted of six candidates included : Patti Gardner, Jennifer Gregory, Sabeth Ryan, Stefan Clausen, Jessie Gross, and Devon Licklider. With a short conclusion or the Homecoming res ti vities by Presi dent Breiseth, the King Jessie Gross and the Queen Sabeth Ryan were anno unced. And so, all the dre ams and aspirations or crown and cape must wait another year. Inside this . issue: • A.L.

Doug Shaw. Marisa Rae. Dr. David Bradbury. Eric Freeland. Eric Bailey, Andy Gustavson , John-Eiik Koslosky By KALEN CHURCHER Srqff Writer Recently, WCLH , Wilkes University's student radio station, was commended for its help in educating the comm unity about the perils of dru g abuse. The award is given to an organization that goes the extra mile in promoting the dangers or drug usage. T he commendation was presented by the Found ation for a Drug Free Pennsylvania, Senator Robert Mellow, and 0 Pho to courtesy of University Relations Senator Raphael Musto. "We are addressing a very serious issue," said Dr. David Bradbury, adviser to the radio station. "We are trying to do our part in educating yo ung people on the problems of drug ab use so that their lives won ' t be destroyed.· Drug abuse is not the only social iss ue that WCLH deals with.

Other announcements deal with community related activities, non-profit events, support meetings and health screenings. Dr. Bradbury feels that all of the PSA' s aired on WCLH have, "some relationship to our target audience, and are there to promote a healthier audience." PSA' s are not the only informative pieces found on WCLH. T he station offers various educational and cultural programming, news, and information on campus activities. The educational programming is available five days a week for 30 minutes to an hour, and the station is always looking for more entertaining educational programs. Interested in volunteering? During the week of November l through 6, any Wilkes student interested is asked to participate in the "Into the Streets" (ITS) program. ITS is an event designed to introduce college students to community awareness with the hope of broadening their desire to help with the community needs. I The ITS planning group has developed several different projects centered around five issues: literacy, race relations, children and youth, domestic violence, campus security, and the environment. Each issue has a coordinator and eac h service activity within that issue has a club sponsor. The Offices of Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith are asking that anyone from any club, not necessarily the head of the club, devel op a community service project within one of the areas. "Last year, many people participated and we had a really good turnout. A lot of different activities go on throughout that week and if everyone gets involved, it is a lot of fun ," said Amy Mazur, ITS coordinator. All volunteers participating will be given a free t-shirt at the beginning of the week so that students can wear the shi1ts during the service projects. Anyone interested can contact either Amy Mazur ext. 5094 or one of the following people depending on what issue the club sponsor would like to focus on: Kellie Klein (83 l-5056)for the Environ ment, Karen Kline (825-0667) for Campus Security, Dan Smith (822-1531) for Domestic Violenc e, A rad a Kunyosying (829-4870) for Children and Youth, LaTanya Urguhan (824-9541) for Race Relations, Maria Rebollo (8200299) for Literacy. ••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• : During the 1994-95 academic year, the : Community Service Office is tallying the : number of sevice hours that sudent : groups and individuals contribute to the • : community.

Although Bailey has been stricken with the AIDS virus, he continues to live a positive lifestyle. Due to his respect for human life, Bailey wishes to deliver the message that, "AIDS kills and no one is immune to it." Bailey is the AIDS educator of Action AIDS, Philadelphia, a non-profit AIDS ser- vice organi zation, which provides direct care and emotional support to more than 2,000 HIV-positive people in the Philadelphia area. Housi ng , educational programs and corporate education are a few or the services provided by Action AIDS. Bailey will be assisted by Deborah Lowman, a volunteer for Action AIDS. The event, which is free of charge and open to the public, is being presented by the Wilkes University Student AIDS Awareness Committee. The committee will also be sponsoring AIDS Awareness week from November 24- December 1. Observe the City The Sordoni A11 Gallery at Wilkes University is presenting an exhibition, "The City Observed" from Sunday, October 2 through Sunday, November 6. The three artists featured will be Barry Roal Carlsen, Madison, Wis.; Douglas Safranek, Brooklyn, NY; and Stuart M. Shils, Philadelphia. These small scale paintings use a variety of styles and materials to explore different aspects of the urban environment. Although Carlsen, Safranek and Shils each create small-format paintings depicting contemporary urban landscapes, their sensibilities, formal concerns and content differ considerably. With dramatic contrasts of light and dark, glowing enameled colors, and a multiplicity .of detail, Carlsen depicts a poetic borderland where different world's intersect and loyalties di verge. Despite their small scale, Carlsen's paintings share some of the grandeur of classic 19th century American landscapes. Safranek paints from an intellectual point of view, bringing a Cartesian sense of order to his paintings. His choice of medium , egg tempera, expresses his relationship to his subject. The medium requires the artist to work slowly, so as to eliminate chance effects. Shils' works reflect the din, the noise and the dirt of thecity. Workingquicklywith oils on paper in a painterly, gestural style, his p/ein oir cityscapes capture the transitory and impermanent nature or the urban scene. He has said that his paintings are abo ut the "visual quality or the place." Concerned primarily with visual phenomena, he records what he see~ but refrains from making oven programmatic or political statements. The Sordoni Art Gallery is open daily from noon until 5 pm; Thursday evenings until 9 pm, and is closed on all major holidays. .. . Each year during the holiday season the John Heinz Institute offers free toy modifications to parents of children with disablities. This program has grown consistently over the past years. The increase in requests for toy adaptions has made it increasingly difficult to get the toys modified in time for Christmas. In order to help rectify this situation, the Heinz Institute is solic-iting volunteers to assist with the modification of these toys. Volunteers will be asked to attend a training seminar held at The J0hn Heinz Institute on Thursday, November 3, at 7 rm. At the seminar the volunteers will learn the basic skills necessary to adapt toys for children with disabilities. Volunteers will also be asked to specify times and dates that they are available to assist in the actual toy modifications. Any questions about the program, contact Donna Majikes at 826-3700 by Monday, October 31. The Student AIDS Awareness Committee or Wilkes University will sponsor the Fall 1994 Wilkes Walk for AIDS Awareness on Sunday , October 16 at I pm. Registration is scheduled for noon in the Stark Learning Center Lobby, 150-180 South River Street where the walk will begin. Teams of walkers (minimum of five walkers) will then proceed along South Franklin Street to Public Square, to North Street, to River Street and back to the Stark Lobby, where light refreshments will be served. Individual walkers are also welcome to participate. Walkers are asked to get as many sponsors as possible and collect the donations prior to the walk. The donations can be turned into Wilkes University AIDS Awareness Committee during registration on the day of the event. Info1mation and registration forms for anyone interested in becoming a pan or the Wilkes Walk for AIDS Awareness can be picked up in room 366 of the Stark Leaming Center or by calling 831-4753 or 1-800-WILKES U,,ext. 4753 . Proceeds from this event will be used to fund the activities of Wilkes AIDS Awareness Week, scheduled from . Thursday, November 24 through Thursday, December l.

Beginning with registration at 12:30, the rally began with motivational speakers and some music to follow. Sponsored by the Church World Service, there were almost 2,000CROPWalks last year, involving some 3.3 mil- lion people as participants and sponsors. The CROP Walk is an international program that is working to eliminate hunger. Through the walk , money is raised to help both the local and world community. Everyone who participates is asked to find a number of sponsors who will donate money to them for walking a certain distance. Wilkes University's Community Service coordinator, Amy Mazur said that a number of volunteers helped Photo by Eric Mo1inello out during the CROP Walk event. " Although they didn't necessarily participate in the walk itself, they helped organize the registration and were available whenever one of the chairpersons needed them," said Mazur. All proceeds will benefit those less fortunate in the world, by providing them with relief supplies, refugee assistance, preventive health care, improvements in food production, and the development of water resources to name a few. Painting for a purpose Police Blotter- From le ft : Debbie Zehner. Julie Werkhei ser. Sabeth Ryan . Bob lVlazzeo. Marlene Mala sky . Bill Smith. Phil Basha By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Bob Mazzeo, a local artist from Wilkes-Barre, recently presented a painting to the Wilkes University Student AIDS Awareness Committee to remind everyone -about the risk of AIDS . Photo cow-tesy of University Relations The oil painting, which depicts people of all ages, is part of a collection Mazzeo created on HIV. Mazzeo feels this particular painting shows the realization that anyone can become infected with the disease. "If the painting has a positive impayt on one per.son who looks at it, then it will have served its primary purpose," states Mazzeo. Debbie Zehner, faculty advisor to the Student AIDS Awareness Committee and a biology professor at Wilkes, plans to display the painting in a showcase in the Stark Learning Center, during AIDS Awareness Week, November 29 through December 1. The week includes numerous events which will focus on AIDS in today 's society. A few events will be: a panel discussion about AIDS education with local experts, and a keynote address from a 10-year-old girl who was infected with HIV at birth. The committee hopes that everyone will try to participate in this week's events. AIDS is effecting everyone and awareness is the only answer.

It almost seems a contradiction in terms. Alcohol awareness and college students ? You go figure . But after thinking abo ut it for a while, it does n't seem like such a bad idea after all. National Collegiate Alco hol Awareness Week wants us to learn the e ffec ts of drinking and how to do so res ponsibly. The pro gram directors do not want us to give up dri nking but to reali ze the way drinking impairs our th oughts, actions and reactions. One of the more relevant aspects of alcohol awareness is drinking and driving. You may have noticed last week on page three of ZEIJc j°!acilcon a poem written by R. Taylor, a woman who lost not only her leg, but also loved ones. Yet, her loss was self-inflicted, a loss which was completely avoidable. That is the key to National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week; making us aware of the harm we can do to ourselves and to others. Speaking of being aware of harm we can do to others while intoxicated, why doesn ' t this university have a Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.)? With all of the student groups on campus, one would think that Wilkes would have a S.A.D.D. chapter, especially beca use of all of the commuter students. Although National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week lasts only one week, alcohol awareness should not.

Fan clubs, parades, and building comemorations would be my reward fo r such a fine column. Unfortunately, these columns tend to be as well thought out as our lovely school' s bureaucratic structure: late, confusing and with gramatical quirks and various misspelled and misplaced words. And, my biggest disappointent, my ideas presented wi thin this column have been, let' s say, less th an inspiring. And as another week passes , and I have absolutely no idea what to w1ite for this week 's column (as if you couldn ' t te ll) I would like to give you a brief ove rview (a.k.a. a chees1 list thi nly disguis-ed as hum or) to possible topics for this colum n in the future: • I will not write about this university nor its student population. I do not like any of you. • I could write more about my home town. However, one needs more to write about than cow-tipping and naked men in sheep pastures. • Every third column will be about baseball. Accept it. • Any chance to skewer the Repu blican party will be fully utilized. It brightens up my spirits. • I will not write about, well, him. You know, big guy, ran fas t, white Bronco, etc .. . No joke here, I j us t could care less about the case. •Reader suggestions are always welcome. Of course, I probably would never receive them. Or, for that matter, read them. And, even if I did read them, I'd just have to make fun of them in the follow ing week's column. But please, feel free to write. Anyway, that's my column for this week. I don ' t have a snappy closing for this week, then again, I didn't have an idea either. Just accept it. Say it with me now: one more week until break. If yo u want to call one day a break, that is. The news front has been picking up this past week, as a number of old issues return to haunt us. Or annoy us. For instance : Issue 1: Back to Iraq. There are nume rous ways to interpret what has happened concerning Saddam Husse in this past week. From the standpoint of the United States, the issue is a little confusing . Was n' t th at President Clinton on the news just a short time ag o remarkin g how we are not the world 's policeman ? lsn ' t Clinton a memberof the party th at cried "No blood for oil" during Desert Storm I? T hen why is the United States getti ng involved ? Clinton said in his tele vised address the other night that, "We will not allow Saddam Hussein to defy the will of the Uni ted States and the intern ational community. " How is he de fying the will of the U.S.? Once again, it seems that Clinton is caught in a statement he made before he thought of the repercussions. Not a shot has been fi red and we' re in Kuwait, but bloodshed elsewhere still does not merit our involvement. Stay tuned; if Hussein makes a move, this will get very interesting. Issue 2: Two wrongs don ' t make a Religious Right. Senatorial candidate Oliver North, while speaking at a forum in Virginia, said that the U.S. doesn't have the forces to defeat Iraq. O.K., Ollie. Joseph Rae ' s column last week is required reading on the North candidacy. When the " throw the bu ms out" mentality is so intense that a felon might be elected, there' s a problem. Change is one thing; dum bing down is another. Issue 3: C ongratul ations Patty Puerlin g. I guess good thin gs do happen to good people. That' s all fo r now. We' ll chat again next week.

Once again , the defense came up big, with two forced fumbles and the secondary intercepted five passes. Greg Yankow had three picks for 44 yards, while Ben Mc Keown had two, one of which was returned for a 42 yard touchdown, giving the Colonels a 14-0 lead at the half. The second half started off on the right foot for Wilkes as defensive end Jake Cole recovered a fumble on the Wilkes 16 yard line.

N. Y.. home of the Buffalo BiUs. Buffalo, New York. What usually comes to mind is cold and snowy winters and tasty chicken wings. However, the past few years the usual image of this western New York community has been diluted by four consecutive Super Bowl losses by their beloved Bills. This past weekend, 1 made the journey through the now colorful hills of New York to attend the Bills/Dolphins game. I now know from experience, that Bills fans are the most dedicated fans in professional sports. They've been through hell the past four January 's and they still stick with their team . Throughout the middle class suburbs of Hamburoc • East Aurora and Orchard Park, homes and businesses are blanketed with Bills paraphernalia. Bills fans have led the league in attendance the past six consecutive seasons (1989-93) and they hold the NFL single season home attendance record of 653,899 set in 1991. On Sunday, I awoke at 6:45 am expecting a below freezing start. To my surprise the wake-up weather was very comfortable. But two-hours later, as my feet hit the pavement in the parking lot at Rich Sta- Photo by Steve Roth dium, so did a gusty rain storm blowing off Lake Erie. A little rain and wind didn't disturb these fans, as the drinks were flowing and the grills were cooking consistently throughout the morning. Hell, these fans have tolerated snowstorms, howling winds and below-zero temperatures to root their team on. Ten minutes before kick-off, I made my way to my seat, five rows from the top of windy Rich Stadium, just as the 12th man was warming up. During Miami's first oftensive series, the 79,000 Bills fans rocked Rich Stadium. A deafening crack of thunder would not have been heard. When Miami linebacker Bryan Cox (who stirred controversy last season when he gave a two-middle finger salute to the Bills faithfuls) missed a tackle on a Thmman Thomas touchdown run, all that my ears absorbed was sarcastic c1ies of " Bryan, Bryan !" An interesting observation occurred when a highlight of O.J. Simpson rushing for 250 yards during his 2,003 yard season of 1973, was displayed on a $5.7 million Sony Jumbo Tron videoboard. Following a plethora of "boa's", the stadium erupted into chants of "innocent, innocent!" After the Bills 21-11 win over their most hated rival, the Dolphins, it was evident Bills fans were confident the Drive for Five • , \. b ·!- { J m 95 was still alive (the win ), : 1 ,; 1 1 • J 1, I moved the Bills into a first place tie with the Dolphins) . 'The Bills will definitely make the Super Bowl again", said 17-year-old Donald Thiry, a longtime Bills fan of Hamburg. However, Karen Berner, a 42-year-old mother of four wasn ' t so certain. "I think we need a year off to recuperate, and it may be time to find anew quarterback," said Bemer. Buffalo is an underdog 's city. It isn ' t as economically stable and majestic as New York City or Los Angeles. Until the Bills recent success, their sports teams have been mediocre for quite sometime. Just imagine if the B_ills won four-straight Super Bowl s. They' ct easily be considered the best NFL team ever and the city would be known as a "major metropolis" instead of the mistake by the lake. Bills fans reek loyalty and work just as hard as the players do on gameday, giving opposing quarterbacks pounding headaches. They ' re amajorreason why the AFC road to the Super Bowl has eone throueh Buffalo three out of the last four years. The fans are the fuel that keeps the Bills Super Bowl train rolling, and the train hasn 't run out of fuel yet.

League title The Colonels face a tough By STEVE ROTH Spans Ediror The Wilkes field hockey team clinched their second consec utive MAC Freedom League title by defcati)Jg Drew 2-1 on the artificial turf in Madison NJ on Sunday. Arter falling 1-0 to Marywood last Thursday, Wilkes regrouped to upend a tough Drew squad led by Cara Williams, the MAC' s leading point scorer. Senior midfielder Steph Hasti ngs and sophomore defender Noell Brooks contained Williams and stayed in her face the entire game. But, Williams did manage to score one goal late in the game off a penalty comer. Following a scorless tie at halftime, junior forward Kirn Kaskel scored a breakaway goal ten-minutes into the second half. Nine-minutes later, fellow junior forward Sue Richardson scored what eventually became the game winning goal. After losing a 30 point scorer in Toni Farinella to graduation , the Lady Colonels offense had a big vacancy to be filled this season.

As of October 22, 1994, Morrison· s Food Company will no longer be the primary food services of Wilkes University. Due to the end of the contract, Wilkes was forced to open up bidding opportunities. The new company, Metz, immediately offered a lower bid and the University accepted them as the new food service. Although Metz is in association with TG!Friday 's, no real changes will be made to the menu al the present time. ·The Student Government food commillee is still hoping to revise the current system, s but we wanted to wait until Metz was fo nn ally accepted so that the changes made will be enforced,"' sa id David Donlin, IRHC president. The menu may not be affected at the present time, but there is a strong question to whether or not Denny Drezek, the cafeteria manager, will be te1minated . "All the cafete1ia workers are employed by Wilkes, so they will not be affected," said Donlin. "But, since Denny is technically employed by Morrison's , we are not sure if he"ll be able to remain here at Wilkes . Al though both the students and Wilkes administrat ors would like Lo sec Drezek remain , it is not up Lo them LO decide his future .

But for whom is the work being done? Obviously students of the new phannacy school will benefit from the construction and yes, the new student union building will be much appreciated by the students. But is all of the construction really neccessary? Shouldn ' t Wilkes be working on something that has an immediate effect on the all of the students already enrolled as well as the future students of Wilkes. Shouldn ' t Wilkes work to improve what they have before they become concerned with what they don't? There is a certain facility at this school where every student must do work. A place where every student must, at one point or another, ask himself, "why is. this school so lacking?" I am referring, of course, to the library. *** I must tell you, this was my original editmial until I actually researched the number of serials and ti ties Wilkes holds as well as the library budget. After seeing these numbers on paper, I had to rethink my argument. I came to the realization that my argument had no grounds on which to stand in comparing Wilkes' library to other local private universities. Believe it or not, Wilkes actually has more holdings and a larger budget than all of the local school libraries with the exceptions of the University of Scranton. L-ibra1ian Jon Lindgren was also helpful in explaining the ever changing mission of the library since the introduction of automation. Lindgren also reminded me that once we become familiar with how to obtain infonnation and are introduced to the massive amounts of serials, we want them all, or more . eloquently said by Lindgren, "one always wants for more." Lindgren also said it is helpful when students air their frustrations ; it makes the administration aware of what the students need in their library. So, next time you get stuck, let the librarian know, they'll do their best to help you out. {EJJc j:.~cacon welcomes Letters to the Editor but requests that they be 500 words or less.

On Monday, September 26. a comprehensive tour of the campus was made by myself, Andrew Mazzeo, president of Student Go vernment , John Pesta, director of Campus Support Services, and Jack Zikoski , director of Physical Facilities. Our purpose was to ascertain and identify needs for additional lighting on campus. We have identified 16 locations where we will install/upgrade lighting to enhance visibility and the utilization of lighting as a crime deterrent. It should also be noted that the University is undertaking a concerted effort to remove overgrown shrubbery around Doane, Chase, and the elimination of the bushes along the walkway leading to Pickering from South Street.

And the anger doesn't stop at the polls. Watch and listen to the talk shows. Tempers flare, ratings go up and the sponsors are happy. Go to the movies sometime. Goodguy blows away bad guy. And why are these movies so popular? We're angry at the bad guys. and we'd like to think we could blow them away, too. Listen to the popular music, full of angst and rage. Anger sells. Why do you think Ross Perot is still popular? Be angry at the system and vote for Ross. Anti-abortion loons are shooting doctors dead in the street. Why? They ' re angry because most people don ' t agree with them, and never will. Simple disagreements in this country have turned into downright hostility.

What's the diJference if he's snickering because you' re black or, bc"Cause he's just not interested? It would seem that if he were interested, he would use the oppo1tunities that you have given him to express it. One question: are you telling him this when you are alone or with others around? ff there are always others around, ~rhaps he is afraid to express his trne teelings. At this point, you have two choices that I see. Either ask him to explain the snicke1ing or leave it alone and let him make the next move. This is a tough one. Good luck.

The tie nulified the Colonels' six game winning streak. Despite the winning streak, the Colonels (7-7-1, 4-1-1 MAC) have . to win their remaining games and need a loss by Lycoming to make the playoffs. FDU-Madison became the first to score with just over 15 :00 remaining in the first half. With most of the action taking place in front of the Wilkes goal, a Devil forward had a = = = - ' - - - - - - - - breakaway. Colonel goalie Brian Pho to by Eric !Vl otinell o Jacobson darted out of the goal Wilkes' Bucky Craft dribbles against FDU-Madison on to successfully stuff the forward, but a following halfback got the rebound and chipped a lofting shot that reached the open goal. Seconds later, the Colonels took advantage of a corner-kick opportunity. Bucky Craft sent a beautiful kick in the air that Mike Herb got his head on, to send it into the goal. Herb ' s goal is his sixth of 1994. Not only does the Wilkes football team have a strong defense, the soccer team proved they have a tough defense as well by turning away the Devil offense all afternoon. Led by Chad Heffner, the Colonel defense frustrated the Devils, causing them to lose their temper late in regul ation play. Yellow cards \~ere flying left and right, and there was even an ejection that left the Devils with a ten-man team for the remainder of the game. TheColonels showedgreat poise and kept their cool when the Devils demonstrated cheap tactics towards them . In the overtim e pe ri ods, goalie Brian Jac obso n w as magnificent.

After shutting out Kansas City 17-0, San Diego was harshly turned away by Miami 31-0 in the divisional playoff game. Going into 1993, the Chargers were the pre-season favorite to dethrone the Bills as the AFC representative in the Super Bowl.But, the Chargers disappointed their fans and critics by falling to fourth-place in the AFC West at 8-8. It looked as if 1992 ' s winning season was just a tluke. Not only do the 1994 Chargers have the best throw-back uniforms in the NFL, they also have the best record at 6-0 and a two game lead over second place Kansas City in the crazy AFC West. They ' ve been tested and they'll continue to be tested the remainder of the season. Important victories included a 37-34 opening day win over Denver at Mile High Stadium, a 26-24 victory over the Raiders at the Colosseum and they harassed Joe Montana and the Cheifs 20-6 two weeks ago. The season 's not over yet and the Chargers know have they some tough games ahead of them. Most notably, back to back games at Atlanta and Kansas City and a west coast showdown against San Francisco. But San Diego is no longer just .an offensive team. Remember Air Coryell? Just imagine if Don Coryell had the present day Charger defense to back-up Dan Fouts' high powered offense of the early 80' s. The current Charger defense, led by defensive end Leslie O' Neal and linebacker Junior Seau, is a defense to be reckoned with in the NFL. The offense is well-rounded with running back Natrone Means, who is second in the AFC in rushing with 586 yards and first in touchdowns with eight, and quarterback Stan Humphries is the top-rated passer in the AFC. The receiving corps isn't as extravagant as Kellen Winslow, Wes Chandler and Charlie Joiner of the early 80's. They're simply efficient and led by Tony Martin, Shawn Jefferson and Ronnie Hannon, a running back who is one of the best third down receivers in the game. The last time San Diego made it to the AFC Championship game was in 1982 when they lost to the Bengals in -59 degree wind chills at Riverfront Stadium. Remember, it was one week after San Diego dekated Miami 41-38 in overtime, in or the best footbal I games ever played. Just ask Kellen Winslow. With the Chargers marquee players producing on both sides or the ball, San Diego has a serious shot at the AFC Championship and maybe this year it'll be played at a wanner site, like maybe Jack Murphy Stadium . Repeating will not be easy By JOHN-ERJK KOSLOSKY Copy Ecliror The road to the Middle Atlantic Conference title is a bumpy ride.

By LUCIA PJCCOLINO Sroff Wrirf:'r What is Ll1is? A gla'>s area being put in Stark lobby for studcnL<; who smoke') Yes, it is true. A proposal was made last year to make sections or Wilkes University campus buildings smoke free. One or Ll1osc buildings is Stark Learning Center. The g]a<;s room that you will be able to smoke in is being constructed on the carpeted area in the lobby. '·J think a smoke free aim is a good idea for Ll1osc people who can· t abide with cigai-ctte smoking for astl1matic or physical reasons; said Jan Kijowski. ··1do not presently smoke, but I did for more then IO ycai·s, before I decided to quit, and I don 't pretcr to be ai·ound it.'' When the proposal wm; acted upon, the 01iginal idea was to develop a system similar to that in the airpons of San Francisco, where smokers are allowed only in Ll1e glass-enclosed smoking area. "I do smoke and I feel Ll1at it's not a good idea for this glass area being attented for Ll1e smokers," said Vivian Naughton. Lonst11.1clion began thiS \veek. Large ventilation fans W\: being installed to ventilate the smoke outside. There is a sensitivity to Ll1e fact Ll1at Stark lobby is the only area tor commuter students. The 01iginal proposal was proposed by Andy Mazzeo, Student Government president, who was not available to comment on Ll1e proposal and who is not a commuter. In PresidentBreiscLl1 ·slettcrto the Wilkescommunity, he mentions Ll1at.'·Societal responsibilitiesrequire Ll1atsuch pursuit must not impinge upon on asimilai· pursuit by others. For some. one aspect ol"happiness is Ll1c enjoyment or a cigcu-ctte. for 0Ll1crs. happiness requires that their space be smoke-free. Both attitudes ai·c valid ai1d must be respected. ·111e policies explained in this letter arc designed tu respect the 1ighLi; or b0Ll1 smokers and non-smokers and to keep our campus ai1d facilities a<; clean and plci.1sai1t a'> possible." 1l1csc provisions ai·e effective immediately except tlmse nuted below. l .1l1c Man.sCenter: Smoking is pcnnittcd only between Ll1e double duors at the front or Ll1c building. and on the second 11oor balcony. 2. Ncwcla<;sroom/ol"ticc building: When it opens in August ISJ<.J5 . this building will be smoke-free. J Other buildings: Smoking is not pc1111ittcd in public aJGL~urothcr buildings. For cxainplc. clcL'>srooms, conidors, lobbies and rcstruoms should remain smoke-free. 4. Conynghain Student Center: One dining room is designated a'> smoke-free. Smoking is pcnnittcd in the other. 5. Cainpus orticcs: Faculty ai-e a<;kcd to refrain ti·om smoking in Ll1eir ortices du1ing posted ortice hours. Staff working in orticcs which routinely serve studcnL<; ai1el/or visitors should refrain from smoking in Ll1csc ortices. 6. Stai·k lobby: A smokers' lounge will be constructed in one ponion or the lobby. 1l1is will be comfortably furnished and will be vented to Ll1c outside. 1111.:: conidors, stairwells. rcsu·ooms or Stark will be smokcrrce. 7. New/renovated buildings: As each new building iscompleted or old one renovated, a decision will be made about Ll1 c extent lo which smoking will be pcnnitted in that building. In this rcgai·d. when Capin Hall is ready for rc-cx:cupai1ey, it will be smoke-free. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Halloween Execution Scheduled ■ ■ . ■ Do ghosts 1-eally haunt Kirby HaU '1 Show up on F1iday Octobcr28 at 7J0pm ai1d lind out for yoursclf ■ : as Sigma Tau Delta and English Department Student Faculty Activ ities Coordinating: •■ Commiltec(EDSFACC) hosL<; Ll1c rounh annual Halloween Execution' •■ : Slurp, munch, and sit in Ll1 c dai-k witl1 your lcllow studc1m ai1d listen to gha<;tly talcs.

Photo hy Skve Roth On Sunday. 43 year-old Dale Earnhardl drove Lo his record-Lying seventh NASCAR Winston Cup Championship wilh his viclory in Lhe AC-Delco 500 al Lhe North Caro lina Speedway. The vicLory is his fourth or the season and his 63rd of his illusLrious fifteen-year WinsLon Cup career. Earnhardl'sl 994 title tics him with the King. Richard Petty for career championships. His ingredient for success, besides his intimidating driving tactics is simpl y consistency. Rusty Wallace can win all the races he wants, but when he's not winning his Mi ller Genuine Draft Ford is usually sitting in the garage area, while Earnhardt's Goodwrench Chevrolet is roaring around the track accumulating points. or the 29 of the seasons 31 races. Wallace has won a NASCAR leading eight times and failed to finish five times. On the other hand, Earnhardt has taken the checkered flag four times and failed to finish only twice. Whether Earnhardt starts second or 40th on raceday, the race leader will at least once see the grille of his hlack Chevy and the sly grin or the ··tntimidator" in his rear view mirror. It's ironic that Earnhardt won this years championship in North Caroli na, considering that he was horn into the racing world on April I5. 1951 in Concord, North Carolin a. His father. Ralph was a proYcn ASCAR Late Modd Sportsman driwr in the so· sand 60's. until 1973 when he died or a heart attack while working on a race car in his garage. AL that point Earnhardt. who has only a ninth-grade education did the only thin g he knew. Race car dri,·ing. He began racing seriously at little dirt tracks like Metrolina Speedway in Char lotte. where he won the 1973 Hohhy Division Championship. In 1974, he mo,·ed up to NASCAR Late Model Sportsman class where he competitive ly competed until 1978. when a wealthy California car owner named Rod Osterlund gave him a chance. Osterlund tahhed Earnhardt to drive hi s Chevrolet in Charloue ·s Octuher 500 miler. A young and aggressive Earnhardt drove to a fourth-p lace finish , trading paint with the likes of Allison and Waltrip. He also drove to a well-financed ride hy Osterlund for the full 1979 season. A season where Earnhardt took home Rookie or the Year honors. A year later, Earnhardt won his first Winston Cup Championship, an accomplishment that gained him the Wrangler Jean sponsorship. He's the only driver in history to win the Rookie or the Year title and the chainpionship in consecutive seasons. Though he won regularly in the early eighties with Bud Moore's Ford team , another championship didn ·1 come until 1986 for Richard Childress' Good wrench Che vrolet team .The Earnhardt/Childress team is cuncntly the most successful in NASCAR racing . Earnhardt raced his now legendary black #3 Chevy to the championship in 1987, ' 90, ' 91 , '93 and now ' 94.

Although it has only been a short time si nce thi s took place, many positi ve changes have been made to the cafeteria. Sporti ng the school colors, blue ancl gold linens decorate the tables. With a sl ight adjus tment in the arrangement, the salad i tern s, soups, and condiments have been separated . The deli no l onger is part o f the servi ng area, but is stati oned in i ts own co rner. A nother change was the way the ca feteria wo rkers are dresse d and how they prese nt themse lves.

Drezak w ould ha ve to leave, he states, " I feel fo rtunate I am allowccl to remain at Wilkes."

Over die past two years, this progressive rock quintet was locked away in a big log cabin, on a secluclcd island in nonhwestem Washington, recording their long-awaited LP, Promised Land .

"Disconnected" is motivated by tile rhythm St.-X:tion and a jumpy, yet simple guitar riff What makes this song different is tile lead vocal consl!uction and odier assoned vocal noises.

But, due to their huge success, they have decided to make November 13 through November 17 a week full of activites and chances to show the community a bit of generosity. Events begin with a threemile run for hunger at 2 pm on River and South Streets,which will be held to benefit local soup kitchens. Registration starts at 1 pm in front of the Dorothy DicksonDarte Center. There is an entry fee of $5. Gift certificates for $25 each will be awarded to the first male and female participant to cross the finish line. Later Sunday · evening at 7:30pm in StarkLeamingCen- ter room 1, Dr. James Merryman , assistant professor of Sociology/ Anthropology and Director of International Studies will present a speech on his days in the Peace Corps. Monday's activities consist of various volunteer drives such as a soup kitchen and coats for the homeless. Volunteers are needed. To expeliencethetruesense of being without shelter, asleepout will be held at the Bell Tower from 9:30 pm to dawn. Also throughout the week are various presentations , prayer services, and a continuous film series headed by professors and actual homeless people, who will reveal the perspec ti ves on hunger and homelessness. Throughout the week donations of food and money will be collected at information tables across the campus. All students are asked to be aware of hunger and homelessness and be involved in the search for solutions. 'The programs planned for this week offer us a chance to consider our good fortunes and the harsher realities of others in our midst," stated the Hunger and Homeless Task Force, "all help would be greatly appreciated."

W ilkes gets wild in the Streets Over the past few weeks, the Student Community Servic es Council, in conjunction with several other student organizations, worked to organize several volunteer projects for Into the Streets. By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Duling the week of N ovember 1 through 6, Wilkes University students participated in Into the Streets. It is a nationwide program that introduces more college students to community service activities in an effort to challenge them to volunteer on a regular basis.

Last year, Wilkes University was one of 120 colleges and universities nationwide that participated in this all important program. The event drew over 200 student volunteers goingoutinto the Wilkes-Barre community who worked on 20 different projects. This year, over the one week peliod, 27 projects took place. Newspapers such as The Times Leader and TJ:te Citizen 's Voice along with Channel 16 Newscameoutto give live coverage of a number of events, Specific events such as the movie with children from divorced or abusive homes, sponsored by Campus Interfaith in coordination with Saint Nicholas School Gym, was such a huge success that the participants have been invi_ted back on a regular basis. Coordinated by Dan Smith, domestic violence featured a table display, a relation speaker and several drives for abused children. "Overall, this year was the most successful ever," stated Amy Mazur, coordinator of Volunteer Se!·vices. "Not only did we have a numberof volunteers, but many people attended the various activites. We are very pleased with the outcome." All students who participated as volunteers received a free Into the Streets T-shirt and ended the week with a reflection dinner so that volunteers could share their experiences. Express yourself with Ally By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor If you're looking to express yourself without being too outlandish, join Ally. Wilkes University has recently implemented a new club on campus which evolved from thefonnerLesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association.

Although the executive board has already been chosen, the present Ally representatives welcome all students willing to stand up and express their need for acceptance , .regardless of their sexual 01ientation.

The people at this school really piss me off. Not only are they non-committal, irresponsible and immature, they are also selfish whiners. What makes me think this way? Well, I am glad you asked. Take for instance, the now available Sports Editor position. How many have we been through now? (We are working on our fourth one this semester for all of you who have been counting.) But, our on-again, off-again Sports Editor(s) is (are) just one . example of the attitude that has infected this student body. A more mild form of this infectious attitude, can be observed in the lack of letters to the editor. Have you no opinion people? And, if you d_on' t, then why the hell do we slave every week to publish a paper for the "Wilkes community?" Does it really matter? Does anyone out there read it? Hello? Is anyone out there? Maybe I should clarify; is anyone out there who cares? Who has enough initiative to think who cares? Who has enough initiative to think, care and do something about it? _ Everyon~ here bitches and complains, but will anyone do anything to change anything? Vague term, I know, but I am beginning to think that is all this community can understand. Being vague allows room for laziness, carelessness and ignorance. Hmm ... sounds like some of the people I see on campus. As for the few people on campus that are active and try to right the wrongs you run into, I commend you. Trying to talk to a brick wall can be very difficult Keep up the good work. And if they really begin to drive you nuts, tell them to kiss your *!@ #* To the rest of you, next time you want to criticize someone about the way they do something, why don't you try to do it better.

See, there was this fell ow from Arizona named Barry Goldwater, who took the Republican party just a bit too far to the right that year, and lost the Presidential election by a minor landslide. Now, I really do like Barry Goldwater (you folks figure that one 011t.) But the fact is, Dan Quayle, Phil Gramm, and friends are not Barry Gold waters. So, now that the history lesson is over, what do these facts have to do with anything? Nineteen-ninety six is shaping up to be another sixty-four. I guarantee it. Whenever a political party moves too far to one extreme - such as the Republicans in '64 and the Democrats in '72 - it tends to lose. Badly. And now, you can add to that list 1996. The Republicans won this election by exploiting anger. This election was not a mandate for conservatism, it was an election of anger and frustration. Try telling them that. Over the next two years, as the Republicans attempt to govern, they will split into two distinct factions: the Christian Conservatives and the Fiscal Consen atives, and these two groups will be at each others throats. Both of these groups will attempt to say that they are the reason for the '94 win. And the Christian Conservatives will win that battle. But, they will lo$e the war. They are just too far to the right of the American mainstream. And, in '96, we will get our chance to take our country back. I guarantee it. 1 HUNGER+ HEBIDEL€SSN€SS Sunday November 13th Run for Hunger 2:00 pm River and South Streets three-mile run to benefit local soup ·itchens.

It's been a while since this column began with a song lyric, so Bob Seger was nice enough to provide one. As the deadline approached, the Chatter was once again a ship without a captain, wandeling aimlessly. Then it hit me; we're going to discuss a four-letter word that begins with "f." Now before Tania, our brand new Copy Editor, gets nervous, the word for today is fear. Fear hit this columnist in the face twice these past few days, and both times made an impact. The issues being . . . Issue 1 Tuesday's Fear. I did my civic duty on Tuesday morning and voted. . Being an election nerd, I was relatively bewildered at the American electorate swinging like an ape from a vine over to the side of the Republicans. If Tuesday morning taught this voter anything, it's that a certain sect of the American electorate is terrified. Being born in an economically stagnant valley and a senior citizen town, I've always been amazed at the impact seniors have on Washington. Yet as I waited in line to cast my ballot, I heard older folks discussing Rick Santorum as Public Enemy No. 1. They weren't angry; they were scared. They were scared enough in Swoyersville that over 300 voters showed up in the first four hours at just one of the towns many precincts. This column was written before the election results came in, but the jury has returned on seniors: · they're frightened, and rightfully so; and no matter what your age bracket is, that's sad. Issue 2 See any good football this weekend? How about Tom Waddle of the Chicago Bears getting speared in the chin by Thomas Everett of the Buccaneers? Or Don Beebe being rendered unconscious by the New York Jets from a helmet-to-helmet collision? Now don't expect the Chatter to side with the Op-Ed page of th~ New York Times and suggest that football be banned. But something needs to be done to further protect these · players. You want fear? Take Tim Worley, formerly of the Bears, who was forced to retire because of too many concussions, the impact of which ranged from splitting headaches to total memory loss. Or Al Toon, fo1merly of the New York Jets, who still suffers from post-concussion syndrome, and considers himself to be only 80 percent mentally functional, even after being away from the game for two years. Bottom line: any player leading with-the crown of the .helmet should get thrown out of the game. Any player suffering a concussion should be forced to sit out at least one week. If not, by the time that we college students are middle aged, many of our football heroes will be severely handicapped. Or dead. · Next week, the Chatter returns to its "no fear "attitude. That's all for now. Be careful on those pass patterns across the middle, and we'll chat again next week . . �\ll:b~ ;ieacon ~age 6 jlouember 1o, 1994 ~o\Jember l l l 2 l 3 l 4 l 5 16 jfri bap ~aturb ap ~unba p ;ffionb ap W::ue5b ap Webne5bap •Programming Board pres ent Maverick SCL 101 8 pm •Once on this Island 8pmDDD •Veteran's Day •Human Diversity Discussion, Marts Center 9 am -2:30 pm Football v King's 1 pm •Once on this Island •Hunger and Homeless Week begins.

Staff Writer tie. With 9:53 remaining in the first half, sophomore forward Tonya Massen heimer p u t Wilkes on top 1-0. Seven minutes later, Dickinson tied the contest with a goal by Sarah Dawn. In the shootout, Cres twood products Angie Polny and Kim Kaskel netted goals, along with junior forward Heather Quick, w ho clinched the victory. Goalie Tracy Engle denied all Dickinson shooters the thrill of scoring a goal. Not only did Saturday's win give the lady Colonels a chance at the title, it also gave them their 12th victory of the season, a new Wilkes single-season Brockport j umped out to a 1-0 lead on a goa l by Amy Jacobowitz with 30:00 remaining in regulation. Wilkes would answer fo ur min utes later with an unassisted goal by Kaskel. The 1-1 tie stood for tw o scoreless overtime periods, leaving the title to be determined by a shootout. When a torrential rainstorm erupted , so did the Wilkes shooters. Polnv connected to put Wi lke s up 1-0, afte r Brockp ort' s fi rst shot was stopped. Following a successful Brockport tying stroke, Amy Pyle converted to put Wilkes ahead for good. Kaskel would give the Lady Colonels a two goal advantage after drilling a shot into th e ca But, Brockportkepttheirhopes alive with a stroke that bounced in off the goal post. Quick, once again, ended the shootout with the clinc hing goal, giving Wilkes its second ECAC title in as many years. The Lady Colonels (13-71) finished their most successful season in school history in appropriate fashion. "It' s the mos t rewarding wav to end the season. especially for our seniors," said Malatesta. "I credit a lot of our success to our senior leadership. W hen you' re in postseason play, you always think about the seniors," continued Malatesta. Kim Kaskel was named the MVP of the ECAC Cham ship tournament for the second year in a row. However, Tracy Engle would have been a valid choice as well. Engle had 23 saves against Brockport. She also handled the extreme pressure of the shootouts with great poise. Engle stopped opposing strokers with an array of hand, stick, and split saves, giving the Wilkes strokers a legit shot to win the games. Going into the ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Championship To urnament in Brockport, NY this past weekend, the Lady Colonels had two objectives. The fi rst was to win the ECAC championship. The second was to prove that they are a better team than they ;eemed to be in a 5-0 loss to Messiah in the MAC title game two weeks ago. The Lady Colonels had Ii ttle difficulty accomplishing either goal. Wilkes conquered the pressure of the championship atmosphere and the unfavorable weather conditions to win their second consecutive ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Title. "Weweremotivated by the oppo1tunity for redemption, for both the program and the players," said Head Coach Addy Malatesta. Wilkes defeated two highcaliber squads of Dickinson College and host SUNYBrockport in overtime shootouts to bring home the championship. The entire tournament was played in inte1mittent rain showers with the deciding shootout taking place in a gusty rainstorm blowing off Lake Ontario . "The weather this time of year in upstate New York isn' t conducive with the sport of field hockey," said Malatesta.

Nebraska and Penn State fans both feel that they deserve to be No. 1. In my opinion, Nebraska dese1-=¥es to be No. 1. The Cornhuskers dominated Colorado. Enough said. What about Alabama? They are the team that is 9-0. They are the team with 12 Nafio nal Championships. If you have ignored them so far this year, you will soon be hearing from them. If Alabama goes undefeated, they will have beaten Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida arid Florida State in co nsecutive weeks. Much has been said about Alabama quarterback Jay Barker. Not much of it is good. I will say one thing about Barker: he is the greatest quarterback in the history of college football. A football team's success is measured by wins. Jay Barker has a record of 321-1. Here are this week's P1ime-Time picks. (Home team in CAPS.) Vikings (2-1/2) over PATRIOTS The Yikes should be giving more than two-and-a-half points to the Pats. Warren Moon was awesome last week against the saints, passing for 420 yards. former Meyers Mohawk Quadry Ismail scored the winning touchdown for Minnesota. New England played horribly in their loss to Cleveland last week. Like I predicted, Drew Bledsoe had one of his worst games. This game should be an easy one for the Yikes. Their defense will shut down any offense Bill Parcells tries to utilize. Do not be surprised if the Vikings defense scores more points than the Pats offense in this game. BENGALS (pick 'em) Qilers Cincinati won their first game of the season last week. Who is this Jeff Blake guy? The Seahawks know him aU-to well. Blake threw fo r 387 yards. Kicker Doug Pelfrey was the real hero in this game ; kicking six field goals. His sixth was the overtime game-winner. The Houston Oilers offense cost them the game last week against the Steelers. The Oiler defens e pretty much stuffed a great Steeler · ground game. Jack Pardee will not last the entire season as head coach. I expect a close , low-scoiing game. The B.engals will win this one. Houston will then be the proud owners of the worst record in the NFL. 49'ERS (-3) over Cowboys I will not say much about this game. I would probably end up getting fans of both teams angry. These two teams are awesome; great defense, great offense and great special teams. I see two fac tors that might affect this game. One, the game is at C andlestick Park. Two, Dallas is coming off a Monday night game. This game look~ to be the making of a classic. By the end of the ,veek, this srread could be a pick. Jlage 11 Colonels of the week The Lady Colonels Field Hockey Team A team ' s success in any sport depends on the team 's total effort. The Lady Colonels won their second consecutive ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championship over the weekend. They defeated Dickinson College in a si1ootout and SONY-Brockport in a shootout to win the championship. <I> With these wins, the Lady Colonels broke the rec ord fo r most wins in a season by a Wilkes field hockey team. Junior forward Kim Kaskel won the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Tournament MVP Award for the second consecutive year. She tallied three goals in the tournam ent. Four Lady Colonels played their fin al games in the tourn ame nt. They are Nancy Lowery, Am y Pyle, Steph Has tin gs and Angie Poln y. Congratulations go out to the Lgdy Colonels field hockey team fo r another outstanding season ! FLORIDA (-27) over South Caroli na The Gators have the best depth at quarterback in the entire country. Danny Weurffel , Terry Dean and now E1ic Kresser lead this potent offense. Florida blows out any unranked team. When they play a good team, they lose. South Carolina is not a good team I expect a blow-out in the "Swamp." Colorado (-13-1/2) over KANSAS Jayhawk fans, take heart. Basketball season is here. So much emphasis is put on baske tball at Kansas, tl1at they forgot how to rec ru it a good football team. Why did Kansas sched ule Nebraska and Colorado back-to-back anyway? Colorado has shown that they have heart, winning all of their games after the Nebraska disaster. I still believe that the Buffalos have one of the best offenses in the country. They sho.w their stuff in Jayhawk land. Rashaan Salaam needs a big game to keep his Heisma n Trophy votes. Alabama (-3) over MISSISSIPPI STA TE I have started my case with Alabama's title chances . They played uncharacte ristically against LSU. Going into the game, ' Barna had just six turnovers. Against LSU, they turned over the ball four times. Ironically, the 35 points that they scored against LSU was . the highest point total they had since their opener against Tennessee-Chattenooga. Mississippi St. Coach Jackie Sherrill would · love nothing better than to beat Alabama. What you want and what you get are two different things. ' Barna wins this one by a small margin.

All of th ese pro ble ms should sho11ly be solved. The renovation of Capin Hall is basically complete and professors are supposed! y able to begin moving in sometime this week. Although the outside of C apin has not been altered, the interior has been modernized, yet the historical qualities of the building remain intact. The Communications Department now has classrooms in Capin and , beginning next semester, they will be in full use. The building has also be electrically re-wired so that the computers could be used more safely inside Capin. All of these modifications · should prove to make life a little easier for the Communications and History Departments. Even though both departments were temporarily inconvenie nced, the wait is almost over and they will soon return to their newly reno. vated home. Run for the hungry By REGINA FRAPPOLLI NeH·s Editor Hunger and Homelessness week at Wilkes University began with the run for the hungry on Sunday, November 13. Beginning at 2 pm, several students assemb led in front of the Center for Performing Arts, with their running shoes on, to participate in the three-mile run to benefit local soup kitchens. Donated from Boscov's were two $25 gift certificates, which were give n to the male and female that finished first. The winners were Sheila Bubbaforthe females and Phil Marko for the males. "Although there were not as many applicants as expected, it was still nice to see a few of the students showing their support," said Amy Mazur, Community Service Coordinator. "A good amount of money was raised for the soup kitchens and that is all that re~lly matters." Students help to raise money for the hungry. Photo by Meghan La Vigna �Equality for those who are hungry & homeless By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor On Tuesday, November 15, faculty, staff and students joined together in Rumours to participate in the Hun ger and Homelessness panel discussion. Partici pants i nclude d : Bruce Davidson, advocate for the Home less, Jose ph Cosgrove, Esq. , attorney in Lu zurne County , Vin ce Kabacinski, director of VISION she lte r, Ann e Marie Mcc awley, direc tor of St. Vincent DePaul Kitclien and Dr. Ashirn Bashu, professor of Political Science and Public Administration at Wilkes University. Joining in to head the discu ssion was Thomas McCaffrey, professor of Health Administration. He acted as the Master of Ceremonies and helped to administer the presentations given by the panelists. The main fu nction of the discussion was to "bring consciousness and awareness to.the community regarding the hun- gry and the homeless," said Dr. Christopher Breiseth, president of Wilkes University in his opening remarks. · No other spe aker could bring a better understanding of what it is like to be homeless, than Davidson. As a recovering alcoholic and former homeless person, Davidson said, "At 39, I am just beginning to live my life." Although Davidson would like to blame his homelessness on the Republicans or the Nixon Administration, he said, "I owe it all to low self-esteem, a dysfunctional family and the sense of false pride." Davidson claims he was lucky that he ended up in Scranton, since they provide numerous opportunities to aid the homeless. Due to his willingness to help himself, Davidson entered the 12-step program and is in the process of rebuilding his life. Most of the panelists mirrored Davidson' s thoughts and words and explained how important it is fo r the community to recognize the homeless as THRIFTY BEVERAGE 734 Sans Souci Parkway (next to McDonald's) 1/4,s BEER 1/2,s LOWEST PRICES BALLS LARGEST SELECTION LARGEST SELECTION MICRO BREWS-IMPORTS 823- 1/4's &· 1/2's 211 7 BIRCH BEER AVAILABLE HOURS 9-9 equals. Cosgrove explained how the homeless are just like everyone else but "they were unfo rtuna te e n ough to get caught up in the vicious cycle." Mccaw ley agree d that "hunger has no limit-all kinds of people come." From this general statement, the discussion turned to the floor. Kabacinski asked the students, "What would you do if you found out two minutes ago your family was killed in a fire and in an instant you lost everything? Nothing is left. You have no one to go to and no money to live on. NOTHING ! What would you do?" "The first thing I would do is look in the paper and get my se lf a j ob," said Chad Edwards, a student at Wilkes. ."There are hundreds of want ads." Immediately the panelists became disturbed. Kabacinski explained how hard it was for a homeless person to get a job since they had nowhere to start. "We can not just expect the homeless to live normal when they have been out on the streets for so long," said Kabacinski. They have been deprived of simple things that we take fo r granted fo r so long-like taking a shower, warm shoes in the · winter.. .We need some type of transaction pro gram so they can learn how to get their lives back in °i:~:~son agreed with the other panelists that it is hard to start over, explaining that it takes a great deal of cooperation and willingness to help yourself. "Just like I have a hard time identifying with your lifestyle, you would have a hard time identifying with mine," said Davidson. "Sooner or later, it all equals out."

Still I must admit, I received more responses from our reading audience this week than I had all year. What I fo und to be most unfortunate about the whole situation was the tone and symbolism that I had to use to get this response. The responses were varied from individuals being person. ally offended to "oh well, not my problem" to "I am having the same problem, don't give up."

The Wilkes-Barre area was in an economic downturn because of the declining mining industry. Wilkes stepped forward to take a leading role in dealing with this and many other related issues by working with local civic and business leaders and community governments. One area rel ated to dollars and cents was that Wilkes was very generous with economic aid for students who otherwise would not have been able to attend college. For a great majority of us, including many Korean War veterans, this was, in fact, the only way we gained a college edu cation. We were fortunate for that aid, plus we were fortunate to be associated with professors and administrators who played the leading role in esta blishing Wilkes' early outstanding reputation and some of whom are today considered legends. These included: Eugene Farley, John Chwalek, George Ralston, Chuck Reif, "Mike" Michelini, Catherine Bone, Eugene Hammer, Art Hoover, Welton Farrar, Al Groh, Hugo Mailey, Cromwell Thomas, John Reese, Millie Gittins, Stanko and Nada Vujica, Francis Salley, Alfred Bastress, Sam Rosenberg, Stan W asileski, Voris Hall, Sheldon Cohen, Torn Richards, Joseph Kanner and Bronis Kaslas. While I have many, many fond memories and experiences, I would like to relate two. The first was freshrn~ hazing which took place during the beginnin5 of the fall semester and lasted two or three weeks. As freshman, y.;e had to wear a Wilkes tie, dink, button, and name tag. We had £~ cordially greet upperclassmen, refrain from smoking on campus and penalties included wearing two different shoes and pajamas, lipstick on boys, pants rolled to the knees, always carrying an open umbrella and wearing potato sacks or bags for dresses. The hazing program for fr~shrnen ended with a tug-of-war with upperclassmen. This event was always won by the upperclassmen because they were on both ends of the rope. The purpose of hazing was to invite us into the student body. We never had any problems and everyone enjoyed much laughter, fun and an overall good time. The second fo nd memory and fun eventoccured in 1960 when the Class of 1961 sponsored a donkey basketball tournament. Several teams competed including orie composed of faculty and administrators, one from Theta Delta Rho sorori ty, and one fro m former students. The donkey~ wore special shoes designed not to damage the gym t1oor and they were trained to do some interesting things. A player had to be seated on the donkey to score. The faculty team included George Ralston in a top hat and Dr. Mike Michelini in a pilot' s helmet. As the games went on, it was evident that the ladies from Theta Delta Rho might win. The thing we knew was that the ladies had two new players that weren' t very good. (George Ralston and Dr. "Mike" in dresses and hats.) Needless to say, the sorority team quickly collapsed and the tournament ended in a tie. I don't know how much longer donkey basketball continued. We had events in 1960 and 1961 with the gym packed with spectators, all enjoyning it tremendous. Fred R.

But if you can get your facts straight in the first place, you needn't was.te your time on corrections. Last week,.the Chatter incorrectly reported that it was Tim Worley who was forced from football due to head trauma. With the flexibility of a Wilkes construction deadline, we now change our story. Merrill Hoge was the Chicago Bear who retired because of head injuries. Tim Worley was suspended for drug abuse. I'm obviously suffering from a little of both. With that out of the way, here are a few issues to ponder as you stuff your turkey (i( you know what I mean). Issue 1 Last week's scathing Editorial. I never knew you could say@#?*%! in the newspaper. Incidentally, I have no idea what that means; I just like the way it looks. New column title: Idle @$#&! Chatter. Seriously, the reaction of this column mirrors the sentiment of most people on campus who have expressed their opinion to me, hoping I'll put their names in the paper (kidding!). The message was correct, but the word choice was inadequate. With it being Parent' s Weekend here on campus , many parents were offended at the choice of language. They .weren't the only ones. Issue 2 A reason to write my column this week: Walking out of the Bookstore with Monday's New York Times , one Chatter head remarks that she reads the column religiously. Thank you. Issue 3 A reason to say @$#& ! more often in my column : one hour later, that same Monday, another Chatter reader remarks that she is going to read last week 's column. After reading the first line, she lets loose on this massive yawn. Once again , thank you. Issue 4 Speaking of the New Yo rk Times, did you catch last Thursday's crying towel edition? The Times, now j ust slightly to the ri ght of Th e Village Vo ice, lamented the massive Republican gains in both the House and Senate. Never fear , the Times cooed, this probably won 't last long anyway. Better change that motto from "All the News That' s Fit to Print" to "Liberal Democrats and the Newspaper that Loves Them. " Issue 5 The death of Pedro Zamora of MTV ' s "Real World" fam e. Anyone who has seen this often unw atchable show kno·ws that these characters are selected by the higher ups at MTV. It has been suggested by many better than this columnist that Zamora was chosen only because he had the AIDS virus and the MTV execs knew he would die. Zamora should be martyred, but not because MTV used him like a slab of beef. Pedro remained true to his principle of educating the viewers that anyone can contract HIV. His work will not soon be forgotten . As for the principles of the people at MTV, your guess is as good as mine. .< Issue 6 So what are you stuffing your turkey with? I know , I know; you're going to tell me to@$#&! . . That's all for now. Have a good @$#&!

Gary Scott's mom Sheryl Johnson said,"I'm going to miss coming to them when he graduates. It's warm here at Wilkes compared to big schools." What wasn't planned for half time was the behea_ding of the Colonel that resulted when John Dorsey, the Colonel and ex-cheerleader tried to help with the microphone.

In 1982, guitarists Dave Mustaine and then corded in Phoemx, Arizona, at Fat Planet m Hangar Metallica bandmate James Hetfield developed a new and exciting guitar style driven by speed riffing, profuse distortion, and rip-roaring volume. After parting ways with Metallica due to personal-problems, Mustaine used this fn;~h and furious sound to form Megadeth in the doldrums of Los Angeles when glam rock was peaking. Through their first three albums, Megadeth's personnel changed as quickly as Madonna's hair color. Finally in 1990, Mustaine and longtime bassist Dave Ellefson hired an intense, eastem influenced lead guitarist named Marty Friedman and astrong and reliable drummer named NickMenza to solidify the band.

Although the 6-foot-7inch, 23-year old basketball player can seem intimidating at first glance, it only takes one of his bright smiles to show his waim personality. The junior communications major is Wilkes University's secret weapon on the court. Turner has been playing basketball since he was in fifth grade and shows no signs of stopping after college; he has aspirations of playing professional basketball after graduation. But basketball is not the only life he has. His true loves, off the court, are people, their music and their cultures. Ask Turner which type of music is his favorite and you will have to wait to get your answer until he takes off his headphones. Continually glued to his CD walkman, Turner experiences all forms of music from R&B to rap and reggae. Where does the reggae come into play? From his Jamaican heritage. Turner 's mother, Winsome, a Jamaican native , moved to London, where she met and maITied his father, Michael. Six years later, they moved to the U.S. where Turner has lived for the past 17 years. But, not in one place, of course. His father was an Air Force serviceman _ and the family moved from one base to another. But adapting was not difficult for him. He spoke two international languages: music and basketball. When entering a new neighborhood or a new school, he only needed to speak these languages to be accepted by those around him . See C.B. in Colonels of the Week. With all of his experience, both abroad and at Wilkes, it is no wonder why his philosophy is, "Who is to judge? Who are they to cast the first stone? We are all here to live with one another, so let us live." Photo by Meghan La Vigna Jason Turner With this philosophy, it is clear that Turner's feet are firmly planted on the top of the key and he can either slam dunk reality or take it from the outside shot.

But, the ~onarchs' dreams of t>xtending its upset steak to three and defeating its cross-town rival were rudely inte1rnpted by the explosive offense and orutal defense of the Wilkes Colonels. Elijah Powell bounced back from three fumbles and rushed for 207 yards and scored three touchdowns, leading the Colonels to a 26-7 romp over a team whose campus is as close to Ralston field as the Wilkes campus. Powell fumbled on the Colonels · first two possessions and both were recovered by King's. The second resulted in a 91yard drive for the Monarchs, capped off by Dwayne Weldon's 2-yard touchdown run that put the Monarchs on top early. "We passed up a lot of opportunities early," said Coach Joe DeMelphi. "The fumbles caused some problems." But, things could not go the Monarchs way all afternoon. The Colbnels' defense began to tighten down on the wishbone offense of the Monarchs, taking away the ground game and leaving them with little else. "They played us tough early on, but they couldn't stay with us for four quarters," said senior defensive back Ben Mc Keown. "They certainly improved a lot since last year though." · Boo Perry ( 10-16, 164 yai·ds, 61 yards rushing) connected with Mike Gundersdorf on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the second quarterto bring the Colonels within 7-6. The Elijah Powell school of rushing opened session shortly thereafter. Powell scored on a 4yard run to give the Colonels a 12-7 lead going back to the locker room for halftime. In the third quarter, he broke loose and exploded down the left sideline on a 55-yard touchdown run, extending the Colonels' lead to 19-7. Powell then put the game out of read~, catching a short Perry pass and scooting 22 yards into the end-zone. The Wilkes defense was led by linebacker Bob Delbo.

The Colonels will he facing the Stony Brook Seawolves on Saturday in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Championships. The Colonels (8-2) are the second seed from the Southern Region. The Sea wolves (7-3) are the top seed from the Metro New York/New Jersey Region and will be hosting Wilkes for the Southeast Title. The two teams exchanged films on Sunday, since neither had the chance to see the other team play this year. "They run a lot of the same offensive formations as we do." saidCoachJoeDeMelphi. "They like to throw . .. and they have great potential to move the football." "I think we should match up ptetty well," said defensive back Ben McKeown. "But, it will be difficult to tell how good they really are until we step on the field on Saturday.'' Defensively, however , Stony Brook runs a diiferent formatio·n than the Colonels are used to seeing, with a four-man front, four linebackers and three defensive backs. "It should be a good game," said offensive lineman Keith Fox. "If we play to our capabilities, we should win." The Seawolves are seeing post-season play for the first time on Saturday, but are coming off a 54-0 victory over UMass-Lowell in which they racked up 599 yards of total offense. - The Colonels' will be playing post-season football for the second straight year, something that DeMelphi feels will ~ertainly help in recruiting. "The possibility of post-season play," will certainly help to keep talented players coming to Wilkes. The post-season game is also very important for the seniors on the team. For some, it may be The last time they put on the pads. "they have been a big part of the turnaround here," said DeMelphi . "It's nice to know that they will play again in the post-season." In the other ECAC Title game, top-seeded Frostburg State will face Kean College. Frostburg State eliminated Wilkes in the first round of the NCAA playoffs last year,bringing one of the Colonels' finest seasons to an end. Kean College was forced to fmfeit their victory over Widener because of the participation of an ineligible player. Kean is the second seed from the Metro New York/New Jersey Region.

Unfor- tunately, this minority has not learned from history that in order to accomplish a freer, more democratic society , the government must be separ~ted from all religious institutions . It amazes me that this minority can cite the second amendment from memory, and yet they do not understand the first amendment, and do not believe that it applies to them. . For those of you who are unaware , the next Speaker of the · House, NewtGingrich,haspromised a vote on such an amendment by the fourth of July. I believe such an amendment would be wrongforthiscountry,andlwould like to tell you why. When I was in third grade, around 1980, I had a homeroom teacher who kept a large book comprised of Bible stories for children on his desk. And, each moming, this teacher would read us "history lessons" from this book. But, as I got older, and I became more aware of the history of this country, the more uncomfortable I became with these "history lessons". I still, to this day, wonder how many of my fellow class- mates felt, not only uncomfortable, but downright ashamed for their beliefs. Here was a teacher, someone that they respected, telling them that their religiou s be• liefs were wrong. That is why I believe the school prayer amendment is wrong. Any attempt, even though it may be "voluntary", to bring religion into our schools is an attempt to force a certain religious view upon our children. Picture yourself in that classroom with a religious view that does not "conform". Now ask yourself if you can still support such an amendment. While this is not the only argument against school prayer, I do believe that this is at the heart of the question. I doubt very much that such an amendment would pass, but stranger things have happened. Those of us who believe in a country free from the religious intolerance and strife that has plagued so many other countries must be vigilafit in our views. I urge all of you to contact your Representatives and Senators and make all your views known.

Hydeia teaches Dlany something about life By ANDITA PARKER- LLOYD Features Ediwr Imagine sitting in a room and being told by.a ten -yearold that there is a madness going on that kills and you have to face the music.That's what happened when Hydeia Broadbent of Las Vegas came to talk about the disease that is killing her and many globally today. She told us that AIDS is the third largest killer around and that safe sex helps. She expalined to a packed Dorothy Dickson Darte CPA that, "five minutes of thrill is not worth AIDS." She of course knows about not wanting AIDS for she has to live the rest of her life with a back-pack full of her medicine to be injected into her system daily. "I can't flip it out of my mind," Hydeia said when referring to her condition. A condition that doesn't slow down her normal activities like the dishes on Tuesday nights, but does change her life. · Her speech was very enlightening and possibly was more effective to students than a grown person's speech telling them the exact same things . Hydeia interspercedsomehumorintoher speech that made her a charming as well as loveable person to meet. The audience learned that they sometimes complain about minor things that they can easily change, butHydeiacan'tchange what she has and urged the highrisk unsafe sex practicers Gunior high to college students) to practice safe sex. 'That's not the way it goes, thinking you can't get it!" said Hydeia. If the audience wasn't convinced by then, imagine having your little brother or sister telling you to have safe sex so you won't possibly catch the same diease they got and then them tell you they saw half of their freinds die of the _same disease already. \!roe l}jeacon ~age 5 Hydeia and her new found friend Kiley Morgart, of Wilkes-Barre, at the Discovery Zone.

Colonels survive home opener By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Copy Editor It looked like a sure thing in the mens' basketball home opener on Tuesday night. The Colonels went into the locker room at the half with an 37-26 lead, and it looked as though the team was just beginning to come alive, building a 15-point lead early in the second half. But that lead dissipated quickly and Wilkes was forced to play comeback to defeat the Utica College Pioneers. Center Jason Turner scored 10 points in an impressive first half for the Colonels. Turner recieved ample help from forwards Eric Davis and Matt LaBuda, who added nine and eight first-half points, respectively. The Colonels played well early in the second half, main- t}age 7 taining a double-digit lead for nearly the first ten minutes. But then Utica's Rick Bush hit a three-pointer that ignited a Pioneer fire. Utica scored 12 unanswered points and regained the lead for the first time since early in the first half, 60-59, with just over 7:00 remaining in the game. Chris Parker tied the game, 67-67 , with a bucket from the charity stripe and then gave Wilkes a 69-67 lead on a fast break with 1:55 remaining. The Colonels (3-0) were not about to let this lead dissolve, using some aggressive, yet smart defense and clutch freethrow shooting to wrap up the win. Turner led Wilkes with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Parker finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Davis had 14, and Matt LaBuda, coming off two very impressive games (27 and 18 points) chipped in 12. Scott Clarke led the Pioneers (3-1) with 19. Alex Chancia added 12. The Colonels next game is on the road against Drew University, Saturday at ·3:00 pm.

Schroeder ran in for the two point conversion that tied the game. Stony Brook won the coin toss in overtime and elected to play defense. However, the first play for the Colonels went for 22 yards on a screen pass to Elijah Powell. Three plays later, Perry ran it in from two yards out and Joel O'Donnell added the extra point. Stony Brook got to the Colo11els' 14 yard line before a Woodward interception. The tiebreaking rule states that if the first team in possession scores, the next team must match it or Wilkes wins. Wilkes took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, when Powell scored the first of his two touchdowns from three yards out. Ryan Alston was the main weapon on the drive when he dazzled the crowd on a 29 yard reception ~ Late in the first, Powell scored from 7 yards out to make it 14-0. Stony Brook 9ffense started to move the ball a little, to record a 29 yard field goal, however, a personal foul penalty set that field goal up. Perry engineered a later drive in the second quarter, as the MVP of the game scored from nine yards out for a 21-3 half-time lead. Stony Brook quarterback Schroeder only completed four passes in the first half, but was unstoppable in the second half. First he marched Stony Brook 53 yards and diving in from 2 yards out, and closed the gap 21-10. Then after Stony Brook settled for a field goal on another drive, he took them 56 yards in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Mike Gundersdorf finished the day with eight receptions for 109 yards while Perry finished his career with over 5,000 yards in the air. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By REGINA FRAPPOLLI Staff Writer The journey of light continued at the Stark Learning Center courtyard on December 1 at 9:30 pm to commemorate World AIDS Day 1994. By medi tating thro ugh readings, music, silence and candlelight, the Wilkes University community, decked in red ribbons, remembered those lost and those fighting the world-wide eoidemic. As students, faculty and community residents formed . in a semi-circle, which centered around a single candle, they listened to the inspiring words of a resident who is now living with AIDS. The anonymous speaker explained how AIDS has affected everyone. "Just like the clock ticking in the center of the courtyard, time is ticking towards the 21st century," he said. "While you are young, you feel invincible. against the enemy AIDS." You soon must learn that you Stillness passe_ci over the are not invincible forever.

Let a light be carried back to the homes-a memory of hope in the world." The ceremony ended with a touching song and silence overwhelmed the crowd. Sabeth Ryan, president of the AIDS Awareness Committee, was very pleased with the ceremony. "I found it very moving how the community became so united for this common cause, especially on World AIDS Day," said Ryan. "I hope they will continue to carry the message all year long." A "beacon of light" is passed.

The outdoor commencement also created two problems: · first, the old stage used in previous years for certain' outdoor activities was found to be in very pooJ shape and needed repair; and second, in case of bad weather a backup (indoor) location is needed. This means that trucks must be rented and be ready to transport the equipment in case of rain. As a result, the entire setup for the exercises must be duplicated indoors. Taking these factors into consideration, the decision was made to raise the fee this year rather than sacrifice the outdoor commencement. Students seem to feel that they would rather pay the fee than see it added to tuition costs. Senior Ted Lacki said "If seniors don't pay it separately, then it will just increase tuition for everyone." s l HOT 97 ;J .

I was pleased to have been invited to do so. Seven students performed musical and comedy acts, and I wish to commend all who participated in the event; it takes a lot of courage to go on stage in fro_nt of a room full of people, especially when the members of the audience are one's peers. What I had hoped was going to be a pleasant evening of enjoyable entertainment turned out to be an extremely disturbing event filled with bigoted slurs directed towards a multitude of ethnic, racial, and other minority groups . One could say that the Master of Ceremonies presented a lecture on Diversity in Bigotry. I have no problems with the students who participated in the program; my concerns are with the M.C. and with the Program Board, whocouldhaveeasily put a stop to the direction of the M.C .' s routine following his opening monologue.

I found no humor in our M .C.'s Sincerely, James Harrington , Asst. Chair, remarks on Sunday evening. Perhaps some will think that I have gotten my Dept of Music, Theatre & Dance joke· are those members of the government, military and society in general who so vocally opposed military service for all applicants . I'm sorry Mr. Hairington missed the point. As to the others who he claims were targets, I feel he overreacted. Keep in mind that this is a comedy perfomance, not a United Nations meeting . Tune into Letterman, Saturday Night Live , or even The Simpsons and you will find jokes far more "offensive" than were presented at the CPA. Yes, it is true that the MC poked fun at contestants during their i'ntroductions. And guess what? Every one of the contestants that I 'talked to after the show enjoyed the remarks, and Mr. Callahan's performance in general. Nor have I heard any complaints from those in the audience. In addition, Mr. Callahan vehemently denies "patting a woman on the buttocks" during the show. As you can tell by now, this situation has really upset me. I am deeply hurt by the allegations and implications that the two student groups, which I advise, do not encourage openness or diversity. In fact, both theStudentGovemment and the Programming Board were instrumental in providing financial and technical support for recent AIDS Awareness activities. And no one can touch Student Government' s record in sponsoring and funding community service/community awareness programs. As for my office of Student Activities, I personally resent any allegations that I am not extremely supportive of all student and comm!Jnit-y efforts to bring balanced programming to Wilkes. I will match my record against anyone else. During the past week alone, I have been on campus each day and evening (including Saturday and Sunday) setting up and assisting with programs such as the . S.T.A.R. Theatre, the Interfaith Prayer Vigil, the Ind.o-American Association Celebration and a party for foster children . The larger issue, though , and the one that has made me seriously consider my future at Wilkes , is th,at of ownership. I think it should be the students who are in charge of planning their activities . And when Mr. Harrington sent his memo to highranking members of the faculty and administration at Wilkes, the message was to intimidate my office and the student groups . If the students are unhappy with something, then I strongly encourage them to get involved and change it. But, please do not allow the administration to take over the selection and presentation of activities just to protect tis from possibly offending someone. Please do not allow the administration to end Winter Weekend, Battle of the Bands, or even AIDS Awareness Week just because some faculty members may not enjoy them. I know I don't want to work at a school like that. I love Wilkes for the freedom that we all enjoy and believe students should remain the "gatekeepers" when it comes to student programming. As President Breiseth said in a recent memo, "Our students are our customers: they are the only reason for our existence at Wilkes University." Sincerely, Michael J.

AIDS is all around us, all around you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. This is the true reality. Issues regarding HIV and AIDS involve analytical facts and knowledge, a<; well as the human aspect: living with HIV infection. It is about the realization that, ''this could in fact happen to me." Therefore, itis your responsibility to become educated and take the initiative of further prevention, tohelpcontinue thecircle of life. · AIDS is a preventable disease. TherearemanyfactsaboutAIDS, all important, bu the one fact that stands alone, is that AIDS affects everyone and there is no known cure. For as scary and realistic as itis, education is the only form of prevention. Some people learn the facts and know all about the numbers and the books; others become emotionally involved with the sensitive aspects of living with the virus. However, itis important to realize that a true understanding isn't the book related alone, but also how it makes you feel. Both aspects are necessary for understanding and only together can they form a true alliance. My friend Hydeia Broadbent spoke last Tuesday about her life living with AIDS. Her goal was to educate using the facts, but instead she ended up sensitizing all those _who attended. Hydeia represents children everywhere as a medium, and it was not through any form of guilt, pity, or bias that hermessagewasreceived, butrather through her mere innocence. It was in fact this innocence that made many realize the true perspective of AIDS. Continuing with the theme, was a fantastic group of high school students who call themselves "ST.AR" They wrote, produced, and pertormed, "On the Edge" a theatrical performance aimed towards AIDS education and prevention. Their goal was to promote proper decision making and avoidance of risky behaviors by depictingreallifecollegestudentsthrough role playing. It was unbelievable to recognize the amount of students involved with AIDS awareness week as a whole. However, it was evident thatHydeiaandherendearingspirit propelled not onlythe committee, butalso the University and the community. It can only be hoped that this powerful spitit will continue throughout the battle against AIDS, a battle that has only just begun. Remember Hydeia and how special and innocent she is. Don't feel sony for her (she really doesn't want you to). Instead, just realize that you have a choice, and it is very important to exercise your choice to prevent infection. And the next time you think, ''it won 't happen to me," keep in mind Hydeia's message. Adolescents, through their behavior, are at risk for HIV infection. So, exactly what makes you or anyone else so invincible??

It is a networlc of the local college radio stations designed to help them to workmoreeffectively by comparing and contrasting the differentscheduling, programming and other aspects of the stations' operations. 'The networlc has a lot of potential," said WCLH Station Manager Marisa Rae. "It's unique in · that it will show the record companies and the community that college radio has a strong base here." Through the "Roundtable", college stations are able to work together to help each other better adjust to the changing popular musical climate, keeping college radio a step ahead of the commercial airwaves. 120 Minutes , before there were commercial ''modern rock" radio stations, there wai; college radio; non-profit, non~ommercial, student-run radio stations with extremely open formats. College radio was the only place that one could turn his dial to to hear punk, hardcore, industrial, and dozens ofother types of indie (independent label) music and music from other obscure artists with littleorno popularity. Of course, some of these artists managed to gain some cult popularity, and some even soldsomealbumsalongtheway. Bands such as Black Flag, Husker Dii, and Joy Division could not be heard by anyone but avid college radio listeners, yet they had a great impact on the development of modern rock. Today, however, the music sceneisquitedifferent Theblanket term "alternative" is used to describe an incredible variety of musical sounds.

With the advent ofcommercialmodernrockstationsand the ever-growing popularity of MIV, college radio is certain to be affected. But the fact remains that much of the now-popular modern rock was being played by college radio stations weeks, sometimes months before it hit the commercial airwaves.

Kaskel, a junior from Mountaintop, was recently selected to the Reebok/College Field Hockey Coaches Association (CFHCA) second team All-American squad. Kaskel joins former teammate Toni Farinella, a third-team selection a year ago, as the only AllAmericans in Wilkes field hockey history. A Crestwood High School graduate, !(askel was eligible for the All-American team after being selected a first-team CFHCA North Atlantic Regional All-American. Joining Kaskel as a first team CFHCA North Atlantic Regional AllAmerican was senior Angie Polny , from Mountaintop , while another senior, Amy Pyle, from Lancaster, was named a second team North Atlantic · Regional All-American. This past year, Kaskel was once again a standout on offense for the Lady Colonels netting 16 goals and four assists. Her best game of the year came in the semi-fjnals of the MAC playoffs when Kaskel scored three goals in a little over six minutes to lift the Lady Colonels from a 2-0 defict to a 3-2 lead. Wilkes would eventually win the game 4-3 and advanced to the MAC title. In the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) MidAtlantic championships, Kaskel picked up her second straight ECAC playoff MVP award leading Wilkes to its second straight championship. In her career Kaskel is tied for third all-time with 36 goals and is fourth all-time in assists with 17.

Amy Pyle was a four-year starter who often times had her contributions to the team's success overshadowed by her role as a midfielder. Pyle, a versatile athlete, was an important member of the Wilkes defense and was key in setting up scoring opportunities for the Wilkes offense. The senior captain was chosen as a first-team Freedom League All-Star. Along with the All-American and Freedom League honors for Kaskel, Polny, and Pyle, three other Wilkes players also were named to the Freedom League All-Star team. Sue Richardson, a junior forward from Dallas, was named a first team Freedom League Au.:star. Richardson finished second to Kaskel in scoring with 11 goals and two assists. Tracy Engle, a sophomore goalkeeper. from Mifflinville, was also named a first-team Freedom League AllStar. Engle, who set a Wilkes single season record with eight shutouts and holds the career mark with 11, also turned in super performances in the ECAC championships allowing just two goals in 240 minI utes of action. Nancy Lowery, a senior from Kingston, was named·a second-team Freedom League All-Star. She was the most improved defensive player for the Lady Colonels in 1994. "I' d like to congratulate the six individuals who received special honors and thank my players once again for putting forth the effort to make it possible to win back to back titles," said coach Addy Malatesta. Men's Basketball The Wilkes University men's basketball team dropped its first game of the season on Saturday as Drew University downed the Colonels, 81-69. The Colonels are now 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the Freedom League.

This semester seems to be a time for changes. So sit back, relax and watch a new and improved Wilkes come to life before your eyes. The first change and probably the most surprising was the SUB. On Monday, January 23, students wandered into the SUB only to stop dead in their tracks and look at the new and improved snack bar. Not only did they alter their counter area and serving station, but they completely repainted and gave the illusion that they enlarged the room. Depending on where you look, you would _think you had just walked into either Rome or New York City. Another nice change on campus is the use of the new and improved Capin Hall. Finally, all of the professors, who were displaced last semester, can empty out their boxes and return to sanity. They even put in an elevator for all of the lazy people (myself included). The only draw back is the noise from the construction of the new Classroom Building. Speaking of which ... the construction is coming along and I must admit I am impressed with the speed in which it is being built. I think it might actually be possible for them to meet their deadline. Place your bets ladies and gentlemen. Will they or won't they make their deadline? Drop me a line in the Beacon Box in the mailroom and let me know what you think. In addition to the structural changes, there are also some staff changes that you may not be aware of. For instance, there are five new members on our Beacon staff this semester. . I, myself, have moved my position from Managing Editor to Editor-in-Chief. Randi Hershman is our new Features Editor and Eric Nelson has joined us as Sports Editor. Mike White and Paul Ricko make up the new Business and Advertising team. Making sure our computers .are working and doing all that they are supposed to, Chris Court is our new Technical Manager. My staff and I are looking forward to providing a variety of news, sports, features and opinions from both on campus and from the community and world around us. We encourage any letters to the editor relating to any problems, comments, praise or other opinions you would like to voice. This is a student publication, so the more input we can get from you, the better we can serve yo·u. Have a great semester. Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication c/o Wilkes University, P.O.

Such an increase obviously plays havoc with ·our overall operation when budge generally tight throughout the University. Thus, it behooves each ofus to take every possible to conserve our available resources. To this end, I ask your cooperation in reducing costs to utilities, telephones, copies, postage, and facsimiles. These expenditures should be relatively easy to reduce by: (1) ensuring that our phone is for Wilkes business only; (2) planning in advance our mailings so that we can avoid ov and express mail charges while taking advantage of bulk rates; (3) ensuring that we extin lights and tum back thermostats when offices and/or buildings will be unoccupied for len periods; (4) using our copying equipment only for official purposes and in accordance witb established policy (e.g., maximum of 10 copies; otherwise, use the Printing Shop); and (5) use fax machines when absolutely necessary and for University business only. As you appreciate, not only are there operating costs associated with using a fax machine, but there also telephone charges. I do appreciate your willingness to be as frugal as possible. As you know, each dollar we is one more that we can redirect to more imp(?rtant aspects of our education mission. Thank you for your eooperation in this matter. Christopher N.

I am not alone in these sentiments-as college students, we all realize tinorder to truly "make it" in our various c.areers, Northeastern Pennsylvania does not dthekey to our futures. While I may seem overly bitter, for years now this has been a L The leaders of this area have never put forth the effort to economically develop onheastern Pennsylvania, and as a result, more and more of our children-are leaving for rtunity elsewhere. The coal mines died in the 1950' sand the factories of the garment industry which once dthe valley are no longer around. Our only solution to these losses was not to look ard, but instead to whine and cry and build shopping malls. Until now. · Last week, Luzerne County Commissioner Frank Crossin, voted not to place the funding the proposed area on the ballot. For that, I congratulate him. The arena itself is- not the yto real economic development-it is a small piece of the puzzle. The real story here is ta local official stood up to the self-serving interests here in the county-the same interests thave held us back all those years-risking his own political career to give this area a ce for the future. In addition, another local leader that deserves a great deal of credit is Congressman Paul jorski. His two pet projects - The Earth Conservancy and the infiatable dam on the uehanna, show an inspired vision for the future of this area. Imagine sitting in the west · gofStark and instead of seeing a dead river, watching tourists, boaters, and others using enjoying the Susquehanna. Or students being able to work with both public agencies private industries as part of the EC. Both projects are breathtaking, and I personally gratulate Congressman Kanjorski for his efforts. But, while these effo1ts are noteworthy, they are just the first step. While I don't hold of the answers to moving this area into the 21st Century, I know that we must all become olved. I urge all to search for new ideas to breathe life into this area. Maybe then we will able to raise our families in the valley with a heart. 3Jble Qtbatter with Michael Butchko "Guess who just got back today?" A smattering of Thin Lizzy to kick off the semester. And a sentence fragment. Anyway, it is good to speak with you again, faithful reader. It sure has been awhile. Wit;h 1995 already one month old, we have lost a great deal of time that we could have been discussing pertinent events. But it would have been a short discussion. Without further ado .. . Issue 1 (it feels good to write that again!): Do chey know it' sJanuary at all? Let's see: this past month, we've had very little snow, just started the hockey season, and had no Super Bowl. What, you mean they played it already? Like my broadcast partner will tell you, it isn't a real Super Bowl if the Cowboys aren't playing. Issue 2: The People vs. O.J. The Chatter h~ made a vow to keep coverage of this dog and pony show minimal, but it has been repeatedly thrust upon us. If history is any guide, Mr. Simpson will no doubt be free to roam airport terminals soon. Remember, Los Angeles is the only place where even if you have videotape of a crime, the defendants still go free. Can you say Rodney King? Issue 3: Super Bowl XXIX: The game stunk, and so did the commercials. Ann Richards and Mario Cuomo pitching Doritos? What's next: Bill Clinton dressed in Dennis Hopper's official uniform responding to the footsteps? The logical answer is no: there's no way Clinton takes that small of a size. Issue 4: Rep. Dick Armey, (R.-Tex.), notorious flat tax fathead, Freudian slipping his way through a comment about Rep. Barney Frank. Since it's early in the semester, maybe my little mind isn't functioning as well. Bill Clinton deliberately tells Bob Kerrey "(Expletive) you," and is documented as such in The A1!enda, but nothing is ever said, and we should drop the hammer on Armey? Man, those Democrats are a surly bunch. It's great to be back, and I look forward to conversing with you throughout the semester. As usual , if you have an objection to anything in this column, please let me know. Or do the world a favor and keep it to yourself (Kidding!). That's all fo r now. We'll chat again next week.

"WOW!" is an educational program that airs every Sunday at 11 :30 am. The show targets children 6 to 14 years of age, but can be enjoyed by people of all ages. To excite children and motivaie their imaginations, y e uca 10n "WOW!" focuses on various topics such as math, science, art, literature, music, cultures and other interesting fields. In order to learn about different aspects of the world, the children are presented with know!edgeable professionals, crafts, songs and landmark visits, which result in educational yet enjoyable festivities. Upcoming episodes include topics such as Japanese culture, karate, newspapers and the governor's mansion in Harrisburg. "W OW!'' is great," said Amy Braun, a teacher at the State Street Elementary School in Larksville. "It has so many different topics that are coverect that cause children to want to watch and learn." Dana Alexander Nolfe, writer/producer of "WOW!," fells that children are interested in the show because, "Every show teatures a different education-based topic.''. Nolfe, an assistant profes- sor of communications at Wilkes, worked in New York with the ABC television network researching, writing and producing shows including, "20/20;' "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings," "Good Moming_America" and "Business World." Shortly after the show was created in 1993 by Dr. Michael Lennon, vice president of academic affairs and William Harper, fonner general manager of WBRE-TV 28, Nolfe took over the show and created the "WOW!" program as · it is presently known.

We've renovated Capin, we're constructing a new Classroom Building, we've just leased a new security car and there are even more changes in the works. And while they may be necessary, should they take precedent over the advancement of technology and resources for the students? For starters, our very own newspaper staff is suffering from a lack of technology. The comp~ter I am using to type in this editorial dates back to 1985. The computers we use are unserviceable. That means that they are basically worthless. If anything were to happen to them they would be trash. Do you realize how difficult it is to layout a page that is in reality 11 x 13 inches on a screen that is 6.5 x 3.5 inches? Can you imagine tFying to prepare 12 pages with only five light boards? How do you cover all of the events on campus when you have only two simple cameras? I think it's pathetic when I go home to visit my high school newspaper and I see how advanced their technology is and how antiquated The Beacon is. When I came here from Red Bank Regional High School in Little Silver, NJ, I left a newspaper office equipped with four 19-inch computer screens, a laser printer with a scanner, three professional cameras, our own darkroom and more. What did I.find here? My freshman year at Wilkes, we laid out The Beacon by hand! But, we are not the only department on campus that is being deprived of technology. Many of the science departments, such as, biology and chemistry, are working with technology that is anywhere from 20 to 40 years behind the times. So, I ask you, what is the point? The minute a student graduates, they'll find their training to be useless. Learning crude techniques on outdated equiptment will leave them behind in the job market. Before Wilkes renovates another building, constructs a new one or starts another project, we should update the technology provided for the students. No matter how wonderful Wilkes may look on the outside, it is what's on th~ inside that makes the difference. A university is classified as an institute of higher learning.

A darling of the iousright, I would not be surprised to see Gramm capture the nomination - he has the right combination of money, namerecognition, and hateful rhetoric that should appeal to many Republican primary voters. It still scares me that he once called himself a Democrat. Just this week, Representative Bob Doman of California announced that he was fonning an exploratory committee to run for president. For those of you that don ' t know about Dornan, tum on C-SPAN someday and watch for the guy that looks and sounds like G. Gordon Liddy, but without the intellect.

Commuter Comer has been ·ined to get commuters more involved in the ·ersity and University events, as well as to ssany questions that commuters may have. topic of this week's corner is that of ComrCouncil (CC). Aftertalking to some commuters, I've realized many do not even know that such a council .One does exist and it meets every Tuesday 1:45 am in SLC 204. With the start of the new ter, why not- stop by a meeting and learn twhat's going on at Wilkes? Many students feel that Wilkes does not offer ~hevents that are convenient to its commuter ation. However, the students that say this are !all1e students that don' t take the initiative to 3Jble <!Cbatter with Michael Butchko "I wanted to be with you alone, and talk about the weather." This week's chatter takes ,on a few personal notes, with some observations about mundane occurrences in the world. I am also happy to announce that I am now in a class with Mr. Rae, or the columnist on the-left. Which makes rrie the columnist on the right. Which makes the professor very nervous. Issue 1: The "Tears for Fears" line which tops off the column. I feel the need to address my embarrassing commercial in which I croon, among other things, "Vince said it would be like this." So many of you delightt'ul people have approached me with tears in your eyes and doubled over from laughing. To answer your most common questions: Yes, it's me; No, that's not my real voice; No, Idon'treallyknow Vince; and Yes, it was quite an honor to work with the President. Once the first snowstorm of the season hit on Saturday, I was bombarded with Vince wisecracks. Thanks to all of you - you will be repaid in full. Issue 2: The Wilkes University basketball teams. This column was written on Tuesday at noon, lest Tania and Kosmo get upset about it being late. As of this time, the men are playing at the highest level I've ever seen. It's been a pleasure to call their games, and to just sit back and enjoy the quality of their effort. Not to be outdone, the ladies squad, after a mini-slide, has rebounded with a victory over Drew and continues to play their hearts out. It's also quite a pleasure to watch them play. The Chatter has been spoiled with great athletic programs over the past three years. Not like we're complaining. Issue 3: Jack Kemp announces his decision not to run for the presidency. This conservative Republican sees it as a dark day for American politics, especially for Republicans everywhere. Kemp is socially moderate, a stance which gets most Republicans scoffed at these days. With Kemp's departure, the moderates within the party now pin their hopes on Pete Wilson, Bob Dole, or maybe even Lamar Alexander. The election draws nearer; we can only hope that a moderate gets the nomination. Or else it's four more years of the guy with whom I did the commercial. No Cli~ton and no O.J. this week. Why? Because it's colder than a well digger's ... shovel, and I don't need to get any more irritated. I know; Vince ,said it would be like this. · That's all for now. We'l,l chat again next week. attend CC meetings to voice their opinions. How can anyone expect to change things if they just assume that someone else will speak up for 'them? CC sponsors and co-sponsors many events that help commuters to become more involved with the on-campus students. Trips to New York City and amusement parks are just some of the activities that occur regularly. Currently, CC, along with SG, OCC, and IRHC are co-sponsoring a Midnight Masquerade Dance that is open to the entire student body. What better way could there be to meet more students than at a dance? These are not the only events that CC sponsors, and they are always looking for suggestions. So, for those of you who want to become more involved with Wilkes, you don't have to live on campus to be involved with campus life. You do, however, have to want to become involved. The first step in getting involved is joining Commutei· Council and voicing your opinion on what you want to see done at Wilkes. Again, meetings are every Tuesday at 11 :45 am in SLC 204. Commuter Corner will be a weekly feature. If there is anything that you as a commuter would like to hear about, or if there is a question that you would like answered, I can be reached at the Commuter Council Office on Thursdays between 12 pm and 1pm. We' re located on the third floor of Conyngham Hall or by calling ext. 2915. Stop by and see us or drop us a note.

Due to the success of the dinner, the guys followed up with a Valentine' s Day surprise. A dozen peach roses were sent to Weiss Hall with a poem created by the Webster guys themselves. Now thinking back to the original statement of whether or not chivalry still exists, does one refer to the Webster clan as "guys," or should they be labeled as "gentlemen?" Do Prince Charming's still remain in the year of 199 5 or has that all ended way back when? Looking back to the Wilkes campus in the 195O's and 60' s, one would see chivalry not as an occasional act Photo by Marisa Rae , Purvi baking cookies for dessert. of kindness, but as an every day way of life. Instead of beeping and waiting outside for the girl, the gentleman would come inside the dorm, where he would then stay an extra few minutes to chat with the house mother in charge, occasionally bringing his date flowers. The gentleman would do this out of respect, not as a forced act.

KeatorgetsSERSfellowsh1p By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Elizabeth Keator, a senior chemistry major at Wilkes, was recently awarded a SERS (Science and Engineering Research Semester) fellowship at Oakridge National Laboratories, Oakridge, Tennessee. Every year the SERS fellowships are awarded to 250 college juniors and seniors. The students are invited to spend . a semester in a national laboratory where they work with scientists, conduct research, attend and present seminars and write a research paper which may be published. For the past five years, Wilkes has had a student receive an SERS fellowship. "Ms. Keator is following in th e footsteps of many O ther excellent students. She is continuing a tradition for the chemiS try depanment," said Dr. Owen Faut, professor/chairperson of chemistry. Keator,ofWilkes-Barre, will return to Wilkes to graduate in May 1995.

Apparently, I hit a nerve. Let me direct your attention to the letter on the right. I received this letter on February 13 in The Beacon mailbox. It arrived in a clean, crisp inter-office envelope with The Beacon neatly typed on the first line. The letter itself was typed without any indication of who sent the letter. Ordinarily, this letter would not have been considered without a signature due to our editorial policy. However, due to the nature and importance of the message of the letter, we made an acception. Obviously, whomever wrote it, was nervous about having their identity revealed. For the record, we honor the right of our letter writers to request having theirname withheld from the paper, however, we do require that they sign it first. The question is, who wrote it and why did they feel the need to remain anonymous? I think it is obvious that it was not written by a student. That leaves the faculty and staff. The only reason we can come up with is that he or she was worried about their reputation or maybe even their future here at Wilkes. If the person was worried about his/her reputation, he/ she would be surprised how popular their view is, according to the feedback we have received. However, if the person was concerned about how they would look in the eyes· of those above him/her, then that is enough to worry me. Why should a faculty or staff member be worried about voicing an opinion? Don't they realize the rights they have under the First Amendment and free speech? Have they been warned in the past? Could this be an untenured professor who fears they could be "punished"? Or, could it be someone who is tenured who fears retripution? Either way no one at a universi~y that promotes a free thinking environment should fear expressing their opinion, be it popular or unpopular. . If Wilkes prides itself on providing a free environment for expression, why are members of its community scared to come forward and voice their opinions? We would like to thank whomever did write in and we encourage others to do the same. This is your paper, please take advantage of your chance to express yourself.

I' ct rather celebrate Flag Day. Ijust thank Newt it's over. Uhm , I mean God. I'm sorry, I've been getting !hose two confused lately. We, the breed that identify ourselves as"columnists", are still in mourning over "Danny-boy" Quayle's decision not to run for president. This depresses me, I now having nothing to write about for the rest of the semester. But the real loss is Quayle in debates. Pure, unadulterated conservative discussion with some of the finest thinkers this county has, demonstrating the same intellect as the charac1ers in Monty Python's 'Twit of the Year" sketch (I can just imagine Quayle as the one twit that runs himself over with the car.) Just thinking of this wonderful event iets me excited. Bob Dole, Phil Gramm, and Bob Dornan all in the same room! \Vow, I just can't wait. Speaking of sarcasm, it's almost baseball season. Scab-ball is here, baby! Just imagine some of those thrilling contests. ~cturesome of the slogans, "Tom01rnw's centerfielder could be you!", "Who needs superstars. We have ex-waiters!" Or, how about this slogan for the San Diego Padres , "what's the difference, we' ve been fielding scabs for two years now! " Actually, though, I'm glad there won't be a baseball season. This way, I can really concentrate on my school work. (I'm sorry, I'm being sarcastic again.) Finally, I would like to take a little time to congratulate the Wilkes University Bookstore. Recently, I took the time to purchase my textbooks for this semester, and while doing so, learned an important lesson that should serve me well throughout my life. For one certain class, I was required to purchase a $44 textbook. While perusing over the selection, I noticed one text that was not in its original shrink-wrapper and without a price tag. To my obviously untrained eye, this appeared to be a "used" book, and "used" books I have learned in my five years of college, often cost less than "new" books. When I went to purchase the book, I explained the situation to the lovely young women working behind the counter . She took he book to her supervisor, who in turn explained that, no, this was a "new" book, but just did not have any shrink-wrap on it. The woman behind the counter graciously asked if I would rather have another "new" book with the shrink-wrapping. I said no, feeling that since this was a "new" book, there was no need for her to bother. But, when I examined the "new" book at home, this is when I learned the impo1tant distinction between "new" and a "used" book. The "new" text I had bought had already been highlighted and had handwritten notes in the margins. But had it not been for the supervisor at the bookstore, I would not have learned this distinction. I want to personally thank her, and assure her that this is a lesson that I shall remember throughout my life. a Commuter Corner 3Jble <!batter with Michael Butchko "Trouble ahead, trouble behind, and you know that notion just crosseo my mind." Some Grateful Dead with which to begin, but to be honest with you, not much to be grateful about this week. Except, of course, for Valentine's Day, the holiday which was once viewed by this cynical columnist as a capitalist tool to sell Hallmark Cards. But because of two special people, the Chatter now views it as a day to celebrate what was once taken for granted, or to be thankful and express said thanks for people we often don't. So maybe there is a great deal about which we should be grateful. Until we get to the issues. Issue 1: The War of the Words. As this columnist paged through last week' s scintillating copy of The Beacon, my attention was called to the organized piece to my left (far left). Contained in the column was a slight shot directed toward the Chatter suggesting that reading this column would be the last possible reason for picking up a paper. When this columnist went to the legions of Chatterheads, most of them had not even noticed the reference. Or, for that matter, the column. If a column is in the newspaper, and nobody reads it, does it really exist? Sounds like a question for the Philosophy department in Bedford Hall. Issue 2: The continuing story of an administration gone to the dogs. Dr. Foster, the nominee to replace Dr. Ruth, I mean . Elders, is now in a fight to be confirmed. Can ' t they find any doctors who haven't performed abortions or sterilizations? Phil Gramm suggested Marcus Welby, M.D:, further suggesting that his grip on reality is slipping fast. Issue 3: The Rutgers Protest. Two views on the incident, with absolutely no commentary from myself. George Will, on this past Sunday's This Week with David Brinkley, remarked that it is quite ironic that the president of Rutgers should be held to the politically correct beliefs that he practices. In defense of him , Will said that Mr. Speech had been on his feet for over an hour, so it was just a slip of the tongue. On the other hand, a student at Rutgers does not believe this man should be forced out, because he has been more than fair in hiring equally, and has increased the enrollment of minority students at the school. In essence, the student said that this man has been good for minorities and should be given a second chance. Draw your own conclusions. That's allfornow. Go easy on the chocolate, and we'll chat again next week. With Kalen Church.er ,2 After much deliberation, I decided to write this week's column on what there is to do in this area. !often hear students talking of how little there js todo in Wilkes-Barre. Compared to the booming metropolis of Plymouth, Pennsylvania (my home town), Wilkes-Barre is a big city. Truthfully, there are things to do in this area, rou just have to know where to look. Hopefully after reading this, you will be able to learn about romething new. For the under-21 crowd, the Wilkes-Barre/ ~ranton area is lacking in things to do. But fo{ mose who are of legal drinking age (or have the appearance of looking 21), the community has a wide array of bars to choose from. They often host ba11ds, dancing, and karaoke. For those who have never tried karaoke, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, most bands only play at bars. However, there are a few under-21 clubs that can be fun to attend if your main goal is to dance. Don't worry about looking perfect because it will most likely be too squashed and smoky for anyone to tell what you look like. For those of us who live here all year round, you should give these clubs another chance if you'.ve tried them in the summer. If smoke-filled clubs aren ' t your cup of te~, try going skiing or snow boarding at one of the numer- ous reso1ts in the area. Or give ice skating a try. If the outdoors is not your thing either, the F.M. Kirby Center and Scranton Cultural Center offer professional shows and concerts. The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre and the Music Box Playhouse provide community-based plays and musicals and are always looking for new faces. If you have got the acting bug, give it a try. Finally, for those who are short on cash, don't overlook the obvious. Wilkes offers plays, comedians, recitals, and sporting events for little, if any money. So for those of us who live here yearround, there are things to do. You just have to go out and find them. lfflge 5 �jfebruarp 18 17 19 jfribap $aturbap •IRHC Midnight Masquerade at Genettis from 8, to Midnight •Wrestling vs. Syracuse (H) at 2 pm ~unbap •Women 's Basketball vs. Upsula (H) at 6 pm • Men's Basketball vs. Upsula (H) at 8 pm Sniper will be performed in the CPA 20 ;!flllonbav 21 m:ue~bap • Circle K mtg. at 11 am in the basement of theSUB •Acct. & Bus. mtg. at 11 am in Rumours • Bio Club mtg·. at 11 am in SLC 379 •Yearbook mtg. at 12 pm in Hollenback Hall • CC .mtg. at 11 :45 am in SLC 204 •Percussion Mallet Recital, at 8 pm in CPA . 22 Webne5bap 23 • Volunteer Services, Talk it Out at 5:30 pm in the basement of Conyngham • Beacon staff and reporter mtg. at 6 pm the ca sem yach h eve • SG mtg. at 6:30 pm H YOU have an event that YOU would like to see ·in the Calendar, send it to The Beacon office BOX 111 in the Wilkes Mailroom!! .

Mazzeo, SG president Yi 'Voice of'Ezyerience As a co-chair of the Alumni Committee and student representative, I would like to take this time to tell you how active our Alumni Association is in helping Wilkes University and its students. The Alumni Association is a group of people whose seeds of success were planted during their tenure at Wilkes Universuty. These people still take time out of their busy lives to help Wilkes University in any way possible. Colleen Galagher ' 81, the Alumni Association President, wrote in a recent Alumni Journal on how the alumni can help students through various programs. The Alumni Association has developed a mentoring program designed to connect students with alumni in their prospective field. To participate, alumni submit their name for publication in a biennial mentoring journal which will be available to students in the library and the Career Services and Alumni offices. Alumni mentors may be contacted by students for career advice or information. To date, 50 alumni have become involved in the program. Another program, Wilkes Today, is a direct personal referral system designed to involve all members of the Wilkes community in the admissions process. Last year, 24 of73 Wilkes Today referral students enrolled. This is a great way to help prospective students jump the admissions process Company-sponsored internships are another excellent way students can get job-related experience while earning university credit. The Alumni Association is always at work and would like to bridge the communication gap between the student body and themselves. They encourage student involvement and would be more than delighted to get involved with student activities. The Alumni Director at Wilkes University is Mr. Tony Shipula and his office is located in the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House ( the brown house between Stark Learning Center and Conyngham Center. To learn more about how you can become involved with the Alumni Association, stop by or contact the alumni office at ext. 4130. Sincerely, · Ali E.

Sincerely, Kristin McNally, junior class president With Sean Reilly Greetings from the office of the president of the senior class. I would like to take this time to welcome you back from what I hope was an exciting and enjoyable winter break and also tell you a little about what is going on with the senior class this semester. As you have probably already noticed, we are in the middle of our Spring Fundraiser of selling Wilkes boxer shorts. Please surport us by purchasing a pair or two for yourself or as gifts. The proceeds from this sale will go _towards both our ·senior class gift and the activities of graduation week. Other events planned for this semester include another Wilkes Social Night at Rodano's in mid-March, community service projects planned for the weeks surrounding the Easter and Passove1 holidays, and possibly another fundraising sale late in the semester. Also, the class rep esentative~ and myself are very busy with planning the activities for Senior Week and are beginning plans fo1 graduation itself. Otherwise, we are just looking forward to our date with destiny at the end of May, and enjoyinE our last semester before transforming from Wilkes students to Wilkes Alumni. I hope everyom enjoys their semester and I wish everyone luck and success in all their endeavors in 1995. Sincerely, Sein Reilly, senior class president jfresb jfrosb With Nick Obertis This past semester has had many "firsts" for all of us. It was our first step to unlocking what our lives and the world will hold for us, our first time to leave home, our families, and our best friends to find a new path in life. We have each had a new awakening to how much freedom has been handed to us, and hopefully we have learned to use it wisely. For some of us, including myself, it was our first experience with Student Government. The Freshmen class representatives and I spent the fall semester getting acquainted with all of the policies of Wilkes University Student Government. Although we came in with plans to change the world, we soon realized the limits to what could and couldn't be accomplished. We spent our first semester learning the ropes and the steps needed to make every event a success from the upperclassmen. Even though we were still learning, we helped the upperclassmen do a lot of work. The freshmen were in charge of promoting all of the Wilkes University activities and events, with Patti Gardner's help. We also bought stockings which we filled with toys and donated to the underpriviledged children at a REACH Christmas party. For this spring semester, we have many plans that we believe will work and that are what people want. We are planning a "Rave til Dawn" dance in April or May, playing the latest in Techno, Reggae, and Hip-Hop music. This will be held in Marts Center and will be open to all local colleges. We have added lasers and black neon lights to our list of effects for this dance, so it wiH. feeljust like the Palladium or Limelight of New York City. We are also considering a concert between Wilkes, Kings, and LCCC. The show will have three MC's, Notorious B.I.G., Method Man, and Craig Mack. We hope to have this concert at the Annory either this May or next fall. Also, the representatives are scheduling meetings to organize a leadership conference for high school freshmen. This will be beneficial to both the area high school students and Wilkes University. We will have an opportunity to inform these students about college life while exposing them to the Wilkes campus and curriculum. We are also planning to bring a new sports team to Wilkes University, lacrosse. Hopefully, we can have a team ready in the next month. We are trying to get Greek life started on or off campus by Christmas time next year. For the upcoming Easter holiday, we, along with the Student Community Service Council, plan to help out with an Easter Egg Hunt that is scheduled for April 8th at the Lackawanna County Stadium. As for the Shut Up & Jam tournament, it will be held next semester. If anyone has any ideas or anything that they would like to see done, email your thoughts to obertinj@wilkes 1. wilkes.edu. I am sure that as the freshman class becomes more adapted to college life, our involvement will increase accordingly.

We want to show them that there is more to college than just ing for classes and leaving immediately_afterwards. All events are open to everyone, so a muter has no reason to feel left out or discrimated against. Many of the events and activities we sponsor are in connection with IRHC and OCC. Some !he activities we have helped co-sponsor with IRHC and OCC are Amateur Comedian Night and · co Dance (also with the Rumours Committee). Each year, Commuter Council sponsors a bus to New York City the day before Thanksgiving. Some other events we pa11icipated in last ester included decorating Stark Lobby for Homecoming ( we won for Best Club Decorations), ving apizza party, and helping with such volunteer services as the REACH Halloween party and ing the homeless as part of VISION. This semester, we are co-sponsoring a dinner dance at Genetti' son Friday, February 17 and plan to have a bus trip. The trip is usually to an amusement park but we may change it to timore, Maryland or New York City. We have not decided yet and are open to suggestions. We be selling T-shirts and sweatshirts with the Top Ten Reasons To Be A Commuter on them week of February 27 in Stark Lobby. We also are considering some fond raisers, social ·vities, and community service activities such as helping out at the Food Kitchen and participatin the Bowl-A-Thon. As I said, we are always open to your ideas and suggestions. Many of you associate Commuter Council only with taking care of parking permits. However, you can now see, that is only one of our functions. Feel free to come to one of our meetings to for yourself. We meet every Tuesday at 11 :45 am in SLC 204. Our meeting are not long and refore, will not cont1ict with other committments you may have. Look for upcoming events in Commuter Corner which will be run in The Beacon every week.

It is a vehicle through which resident students can voice their concerns dealing with residence life. The IRHC is also active in the planning of campus events. This semester, the IRHC is working in conjunction with Student Government, Off-Campus Council, and Commuter Council on Midnight Masquerade, the spring semester's semi-formal dinner dance. The IRHC will also be sponsoring the Final Exam Study Break, in which students are given free pizza and soda at the cafeteria. The IRHC is also planning a series of fund raisers for the _spring semester. The first is a Valentine's Day Candy Sale, in which students can buy candy bags to be sent to their friends. There will also be a sale for IRHC T-shirts this semester. As the semester draws to a close, the IRHC will also be sending letters home to parents advertising fruit baskets which can be sent to their son/daughter. The IRHC is also the governing body of the Student Security Committee, which works to report the security concerns of students to Wilkes Security in order to impr9ve campus safety. This semester, the student Sec_mity Committee is working closely with the Off-Campus Council in implementing a Crime Watch at Wilkes. The IRHC meets every Thursday at 11 :00 AM in SLC l .

Ali Qureshi The Beacon Staff Kim Escarge Amy Blake Jill Fasciana Kelly Kellmel Jeff Slank Laura Scaperotto Asif Ilyas Andy Mazzeo The Wilkes University Off-Campus Council (OCC) has struggled the last couple of years, but is slowly rebuilding after its ancy. OCC is the link between the community, the school, and the apartment students. I feel that this link is vital, because · out it, there is no communication of campus activities or events. OCC is.trying to increase our enrollment, amount of participation community service, and plan new events for the semester. · Would you like to earn $50? The Off Campus Council has established an incentive plan so that each meeting that one attends, int is earned. If an OCC sponsored event is attended, two points are awar'ded. The points accumulate over the semester and lop three winners receive $50, $30, and $20, respectively. Our meeting time is on Tuesday at 11 :00 a.m. in SLC 380 and they urbi-weekly . The Off Campus Council is trying to schedule new and improved events not only for apartment students, but for the enjoyment all students. For example, last semester we helped sponsor a 70's Disco Dance which was a huge success. This semester we are iponsoring the Winter Dance at Genetti's and planning a T-shirt sale and a car wash. Working in close coordination with the ·urity Committee, OCC has helped to institute a campus c1ime watch. For our crime watch to be effective, it will take everyone's olvement, including dorm students. Each apartment building and residence hall will need a block captain. The duties will include ruitment of other willing participants and announcing meeting dates. Along with these efforts, OCC also helped to obtain our first es University Police Car used to patrol the campus. We hope this will make Wilkes University safer for students on-campus And all of the well as off-campus. · contributing writers Finally, the Off Campus Council is planning to hold its first Block Party. The target date is Saturday, April 29, 1995 at Ralston d. Events will include a softball tournament, volleyball, carnival games, live bands, food, and other activities.

The win improves the Royals' record and enhances their chances to gain a playoff position. Wilkes began the game in a fullcourt nrr.ss iumoing out to a 10-2 lead. Eric Davis then helped to further the Wilkes lead to 16-4 while continuing to hold a tough full-court press. Scranton proceeded to answer back as Neal McGee, their top three-point shooter, sank three consecutive three pointers and pulled the Royals within 1 point. Later in the first half the Royals would take their first lead of the night with two quick free throws from Bill Nish. This would take the score to 29-26 Royals lead. By the half the score was 39-34 and Scranton was in high spirits as they headed for the locker room . In the second half the lead was passed back and forth with neither team leading by more than 5 points. With less than a minute remaining, Jason Turner went to the freethrow line to hit 1 of 2. Scranton would then tie the game and send it into overtime. In overtime, the Royals' T.J. McNulty would prove to be too much for the Colonels to handle. He scored 7 out of 16 points and managed to help put the Royals out on top to beat the Colonels. a THRIFTY BEVERAGE 734 Sans Souci Parkway (next to McDonald's) 1/4~BEER1/2~ B AL L s LOWEST PRICES LARGEST SELECTION LARGEST SELECTION MICRO BREWS-IMPORTS 8231/4's & 1/2's HOURS 2117 BIRCH BEER AVAILABLE 9-9 , .,,,., .. .·.·· """-* •· .· ·.)•.

Farley Library advances in technology BY MICHA EL BEACHEM Staff Writer For those students who have had a hard time usi ng the computers in the Librnry, things will be getting a little easier by the end of this month. Uni versity Librarian Jon Li ndgren said that eight new PCbased work stations will be set up on a local area network (LAN) located next to the library reference desk. This will provide multiuser access to the core collection of CD-ROM dat abases: social sciences, humanities, general science, business periodic als, applied science and technology, biological and agricultural, and ERIC indexs and abstracts as well as a biography index and environment abstracts. The library will also be adding four new databases to the overall list of CD-ROM indexes and abstracts: Medline, Cancer Lit, Bioethicsline, and HealthPlan will join CINAHL and Infotrac on stand-alone workstatio.ns. "It will be nice to have different sources available to get extra information for my studies and this is a great step in the improvement of our library," said biology major Paul Caffarelli. The advantage of the network is that more than one user can gain access to a database at the same time. This will alleviate the frustration of people having to wait for a particular database to become available. Fornow, dial-in access from outside the library ~1!1 not p_e available, but is in future plans. "The main reason why the CD-ROM network and additional databases were purchased is to provide students with easier and greater access to CD-ROM indexes and abstracts," said Lindgren. Total cost of the new hardware and software is about $40,000. Funding for the project was gathered from re-directing a portion of the regular library budget, from University support for the new Pharmacy program,-and from a grant by the Mary .T . Foster Trust. With the opening up access to the rich variety of materials indexed in the 15 bibliographic databases housed in the Farley Library on CD-Rom, the student who learns to use this system well should achieve a higher quality of library research-dependent work, based on better and more comprehensive sources ofinformation. Lindgren reminds students who need help using the library. whether access is by computer or print resource, should ask for help at the Reference Desk in the center of the main floor. The library employees believe in the motto that there is no such thing as a stupid question about library use. There are a few other changes that students should keep an eye out for concerning the library. Firm plans have been made to replace the computer that runs the VTLS on-line catalog. and to upgrade the VTLS software over the summer of 1995, which will provide improved access to the books in the Wilkes Library. Although there may be a few VTLS terminals added to the system, the major two improvements, largely invisible to the naked eye, will be improved operation of the system (both speed and efficiency of searching the catalog); and a dial-in access from outside the library over the campus Ethernet (fiber-optic cable network). Within the next week, a new microfiche reader/printer should be installed, which will greatly. improve the accessibility to, and usefulness of the 600,000 pieces of microfiche in the Farley Library, including the ERIC microfiche, the collection of IEEE periodicals, the Library of American Civilization, and others. Finally, Lindgren said that the library can provide access to hundreds of other databases via remote searching, including some via the Internet and others through a syslem called FirstSearch. Reference librarians can arrange for topical demonstrations/workshops for an entire class, or for one-on-one instruction. �<fbitorfal For the first time ever in my four years of experie~ce here at Wilkes, the cafete!"ia was buzzing with good cheer. The Mardi Gras Food Show succeeded in bringing the students together again, as well as providing one of the best meals ever served at the caf. All I can say is: it's about time. Students wereforced to roam throughout the caf and mingle among hundreds of their fellow classmates. It gavethem the opportunity to eat and talk with people they wouldn't normally see during the day. Most students either run around with crazy schedules and grab a quick bite at the SUB or they sit at the same table, with the same people, eating the same dinner every night. Why? Because, as my one professor always says: we are creatures of habit. I even find myself falling victim to my habits. My alarm clock goes off at the same time every morning and I press snooze between four and five times until I get up. I have a set way of walking to classes in the morning and sometimes, I find myself on automatic pilot. Anyway, I was impressed with thecaftonight, however, I have a few suggestions for next time. • One major suggestion is to open the windows or have some sort of air circulation because it was extremely stuffy in there. • There should be some chairs or tables set up for people to sit down. Maybe one half of the caf could be food while the other has some scattered chairs. Or, there could be chairs set up in the waiting wings of the caf. • There shciuW be larger plates and more drink options. • Mocktails would have worked well with the Mardi Gras theme. • Overall the food was great and I would like to commend the Bevaco Food Service and its Associate Brokers for doing a wonderful job! • I definitely think they should do something similar again some time. Maybe outside in the spring! Any event that can break the creature of habit and bring the students together is worth repeating! Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication 1Letters to tbe ~bitor To the Editor: Normally, I would not consider wasting my time on such trivial issues that are contained in student publication, mostly because I'm interested in newsworthy topics, and I don't consider 771, newsworthy.

After working as a technician for the last eight years, (I'm 26),1 decided that it was time to my academic training.

I used my head and made a practical decision based on several factors. I didn't decide to an because it felt like the right thing to do. You, on the other hand, are so innocent (you don' t think you are, I'd bet).

Reality dictates caution when in doubt. Reality dictates anonymity because the reality of the Adults (people with careers, with families) have a great deal to lose. You do not. What will you lose right now? Not getting a 4.0? Losing a minimum-wage-paying job? I laugh at you. Change can be good. I'm not opposed to questiong authority. I've done it my whole life. the sense to know when, where and how, is something I learned with age. Perhaps someday you will learn those finer traits also.

(Insert your own tear~rking screams here.) · Now, I realize that everyone is sick and. tired· about hearing about baseball. And I'll admit, so am I. The next time I hear a middle-aged, affluent, white-male commentator remark on how baseball is part of America's soul, I am going to throw: up. The next time I hear a sportsialk show host get on his little soap box and whine about the greedy players and the wonderful owners, I'm going to take a stroll over to the post office with my 3040 krag. I now realize it's over for baseball. The fat lady's wanning up. It's just a matter of time before she starts singing the "Star Spangled Banner." They cancelled the World Series. They ' re starting the season with replacement players. The owners are going after the Uttle Leagues, charging teams that use major league names an extra six dollars per uniform. The game is in a decline with no end in sight. Today's children are more likely to own a basketball or a hockey stick than a glove and a bat. That is the real tragedy. Baseball, over the last 150 years, has broug.ht our generations together - Grandfathers to fathers to sons, Granmothei-s to mothers to · daughters. But that is all over now. Baseball has always been a business, but it was always able to put its entertainment value ahead of its business aspects. But now, when we think of baseball, we can only think of money. It's such a shame. And when this weather finally breaks, I tink I'll grab my football and find someone to toss it around with. It' s only five months to football season. l just can' t wait. <!Commuter <!Corner With Kalen Churcher After my first column, I was hoping to see a few new faces at Commuter Council (CC). Unfortunately, I haven' t. About half of the Wilkes student population is comprised of commuters. Looking around, however, I do not to see many hanging out on campus. ' I don't understand-why so few people want to get involved in an organization that can only benefit them. I can think of a dozen people from my high school alone, that once had great initiative, yet none of these people are involved in CC. Did they lose their initiative when they left the hallowed halls of Wyoming Valley West? And what about the rest of you? If just one graduate from every area high school joined CC, we would have a large club · that could get things done quickly. If the meeting time is not convenient, please let us know. Currently, we are brainstorming for ideas about how we can get more involved on campus. Within the next few weeks, CC is planning to have snacks and a movie during club period so that commuters will have something else to do besides sit in the lobby or go home. We hope to have a good turnout so that this event won't be just a one-time-deal and will continue throughout the semester. We're looking for input at Commuter Council. Please feel free to disagree with us. However, if you're going to disagree, come to a meeting and tell us why. Surely there must be_issues or unanswered questions that are on the minds of commuters. Tell us what they are. This campus is not perfect. Last semester, we were bombarded with parking concerns. This semester, it seems as if everything is wonderful. I'm not looking to cause a great uproar, but I am trying to get commuting students involved with campus activities. For those commuters who are involved on campus, keep up the great work. For those of you who aren' t Istronoly suogest C-..,; giving CC a try. Commuter Council meetings take place every Tuesday at 11 A5 am in SLC 204.

Besides, the recent virus which has been passed around campus like balloons at a Grateful Dead concert has begun to effect this columnist, and consequently the ramblings within this column. Nonetheless, we shall persevere. Even withc,ut an illness, the lack of issues this week is frustrating. Talking about the Clinton presidency is like working on the heavy bag in the gym: no matter how hard you pound it, it just keeps coming back to you. It's also too early to discuss the 1996 election, and the various Republican candidates. Supposedly, Bob Dole is still considering appearing on Saturday Night Live. A nostalgia theme would be nice, seeing as the last time Dole appeared on the Republican ticket (1976) was around the last time SNL was funny . How about sports? The last time the basketball teams at this school were mentioned in the Chatter, they both suffered tough losses in the next few days. An Idle Chatter jinx? Doubtful. But what is certain is that both teams have done a great job this year; and with any luck and the great amount of skill both teams possess, the season may still be young. Maybe we could discuss the new great holiday, President's Day. So what did you get your sweetheai1 for this joyous day off for the rest of the world? Perhaps an ice carving in the bust of Richard Nixon? Or the complete two page volume of The Highlights of Warren G. Harding? Or the gift which truly says "You make my President's Day special": The Dwight David Eisenhower hair grooming kit. Remember, if you don't have the money, at least give your favorjJe political snugglebunny a call. There is nothing more inconsiderate than not hearing from your sweetie on President's Day. A poem for the Chatter' s First Lady: "Roses are red, Clinton's hair is gray; I'm glad we 're togetheron this President's Day." Finally, a special holiday to share with someone. I promise I' 11 cut back on the dosage: That's all for now. We 'll chat again next week. The Beacon is looking for new writers Features, News, Sports! School Credit is Available!

It now appears as if the potential playoff teams have pulled away from the rest of the pack and are beginnfog to make more serious attempts to play at a more skilled level. St. Louis is making a steady but consistent move for first place in the Central Division and has made a large choice to ignore the demands of Craig Janney. Janney, who was the Blues' top playmaker, has only played a total of 6 games this season. Currently looking for another team to play for, Janney has not yet released a comment regarding the status of his relationship with Mike Keenan. · Although a number of teams in need of playmakers would jump at the chance to aquire the powerful Janney not many can afford the price. This could be the one consideration that Jannies may want to review for himself. Is it worth it to take a paycut to simply play the sport? All of this lies on the hands of Janney and it is time for him to decide. Continuing in the Western Conference, Vancouver has proven its unworthiness for another consecutive week. With an astounding record of 3-5-5, the defending Western Conference champions find themselves in a dead heat tie forsecond to last place in the Conference. With another talented team, Dallas, gathering a total of eight points in 13 games, Vancouver finds some stiff competition for occupancy of the Western Conference basement. .A tough season has hit the Canucks in terms of injury. With at least one top palyer injured per game it makes the organization wonder which player is next? Pavel Bure? Moving on to the more diversified Eastern Conference, you can see a clear change from last week standings. It seems as if the Rangers have found their nitch. With.their huge early season slump the organization has lifted itself to an 8-7-2 record and have gone over the .500 markforthe first time this season. They also lead the Atlantic Division for the first time this season as well. For the New York Islanders, the season could be at a highly pivotal point. With the temporary loss· of top defenseman Darius Kasparaitis the Islanders are looking for more out of the backup defensemen Vladimir Malakhov and Richard Pilon. With a mediocre week, the Isles slipped to third place in the division. With a tough week coming up, the team hopes to see more scoring out of Pierre Turgeon and more assists from Marty Mcinnis. The biggest story this week has to be the improvments made by the New Jersey Devils. Stepf}ing up from a last place position to a respectful second place took a lot of perseverance from the supportive team . The goaltending did not hurt either. Maybe there will be another confrontation between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers as there was last year before the end of the season. Last but not least there is the game of the week: Pittsburg vs Quebec for the battle of first place in the Northeast division and in the Eastern conference. Th~ big pre-game question was if Quebec's hard hitting defence .could stop the pointleader Jagr in this confrontation. The results proved the Nordiques unworthy of this task.

With their first playoff berth in the history of the Wilkes team, the Lady Colonels were excited to get started. With one graduating senior, the Lady ,. Colonels will look much similar to the team of this year. _ "I' m just sorry that Stacy Boyer is not going to be around this year to grow with this team/' said Haag. As Stacy's continuing back condition has not gotten any better, she choose to play for the Colonels this year. "I don't think there are too manymaleorfemaleswhocould have held up the way she did and not _complain" Haag said about Boyer. She added,"she kept at it and didn't even take too many days off from practice."

THE ORIGINAL . *Look on page 6 of The Beacon to find out in which year these events took place. -All information taken from The Encyclopedia ofAmerican Facts and Dates, 9th edition, Gorton Carruth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -_:,L THE ULTIMATE COLLEGE DANCE PARTY �<fbitorfal Overthe past few weeks, we at The Beacon have avoided the subject of parking. However, somethings have been happening lately that make it hard to resist. Rather than simply complaining about it as many students do around campµs, I would like to explain the problem and offer a solution. Theparking lots are not being monitored effectively. There are too many holes in the system that allow people without proper permits to take up space in the lots. Students and faculty are paying $60 for their permits only to pave their spaces taken by freeloaders. The main reason is the poor gate system that is being used. Does security really think a flimsy wooden board is really going to stop someone that wants to get into the lot? Who wants to make a bet none of them will be left after this weekend? How many, of those boards do they go through every semester? Too many if you ask me. ' What they need is something that would keep students and other drivers from smashing through the gates. Something stronger and more damaging to the vehicle. Something impenetrable. The answer is metal gates. Metal gates may be more expensive, however they would be well worth itin the long run. Permit-holders would no longer have to worry about getting towed or ticketed for parking somewhere they weren't supposed to. The metal gates would also be a one-time investment as opposed to the constant replacement of the wooden ones.Wouldn't this be well worth it? I feel that Wilkes should do what it takes to make their parking system work. If those in charge of parking could care less about whether it works or not, then why should the rest of the Wilkes community care about following it? I would like to thank all of the people who have been sending us letters. I would also like to enc~urage others to do_ the same. Please note our editorial policy in the right hand corner of the page. All letters can either be put in The Beacon box 111 in the mailroom or tacked on the bulletin board outside our office on the second floor of Hollenback Hall across from the library on South Franklin St. Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication 1Letters to tbe C!Ebito To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the photo on page 10 of February 16 editionof711t entitled "Worst Shot of the Week." First, I was happy to see that someope had goneou way to increase student participation by putting on events at half-time of the men' basketball game. I was also surprised that so many people showed up to watch the Wilkes activities usually consist of little or no people. I didn ' t even think our nationally Wilkes Colonels would be able to bring a crowd. However, I was wrong. Many peo showed up for once to cheer on the home team to a victory. But, this is not my current My disgust concerns the photograph and its caption. For those p~ople who did attend the game, they know that when it came time to do tug-of-war, Wilkes students were very reluctant to participate. I felt it was ratheremb our sch~ol. Finally, when 10 brave individuals came out of the stands, I being one of them to win the tug-of-war. But, if you were a spectat6r, you know the unfoitunate result. Today, I see this picture of that same tug-of-war displayed in The Beacon. Thank much for insulting those people that did participate. I realize that we did not win, but al made an attempt for our school, which is a lot more than most of The Wilkes' students you want your students to participate or attend Wilkes activities and events, don't insult negative publicity. William Pastewait. To the Editor: This letter is regarding the Letter to the Editor that appeared in the·February 22 editi Beacon concerning the quality of news contained in The Beacon. I still find myself scra head after trying to figure our exactly why this person penned this letter to the editor. It only that the writer is ignorant of any semblance of news writing. I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, but I do believe there is a difference in and "News writing." The complaint stated in his or her letter that the cover story of W Webster halls is a very soft story to lead off the newspaper with. Fine. Point well taken. writer missed is the quality of writing contained within that front page story. News writin that is not easily attained, but through practice, gets better with time. Obviously the wri had a lot of experience at writing, because of his or her terrible grammatical structure proofreading. The quality of the news writing at The Beacon is very good. The author of Webster story, Regina Frappoli, is a very capable writer and news editor. Her writing quality. I think the writer of the "gripe letter" missed the boat when he or she claimed the77it should change its name to The Inquirer due to its tabloid style of soft news. Ironically, letter to the editor was written in a tabloid style, only to shock the reader with the bla personal attacks as well as the use of profanity. All too often, people, including myself, have been critical of the way some things run at University. What the writer does not realize that he or she can have an effect on the" quality of The Beacon, by joining the staff and contributing to the newspaper. In this li~tle, tiny chasm of the universe that we all call Wilkes University, what real/ on here that would really qualify for the type of "hard news" that the writer calls for 7 77it staff does the best job they can, faced with outdated equipment, poor public perception, inherent lack of news in this tiny university. The Beacon is the only newspaper hereatW is capably not becoming a "bulletin board" of just campus events and happenings.

The Beacon res the right to refuse to print letters based on conte a Bi~ le Si , sli ts �Theother night, during my ni ghtl y flight fro m the great city of Wilk es - ... ing my regular route, to take a a quick drive around the downtown. I had no real reason to do so-I was just killing time on a cold February night. Driving through the downtown, it struck me as to how dead this area really is-empty buildings, business closings, no social opportunities, etc ... It is a sad fact that this area has never been able to take advantage of opportunities, to economically grow and prosper. The downtown is a testament of that fact. A few weeks ago, I wrote column concerning economic development in this area. I ended that column somewhat optimistically, knowing that ·one cornerstone in the economic development of this area-the arenawould be built. I guess that I was dead wrong. Last ~eek, County Commissioner Frank Crossin caved in to the pressures and said that he would vote to place the arena question, with respect to its funding , on the May ballot, a move that will either kill the arena or severely escalate its cost. I admit that I do not expect much from local ·politicians - never have, never will. But when there is a situation that is as clear-cut as the arena is as to the a economic and practi cal benefits to this area, perh aps my expectations rose · _just a bit. The arena, as I have stated before , is not the "magic bullet" that will single-handedly lift the economy of this area off the ground. In the short run, itprobablywilllosemoney. In fact, it might not make any money at all. But the true benefit that the arena will provide will not be measured in a simple pro§t/loss statement, but instead the arena can act as a magnet for this area, to give us a dose of civic pride and ailow others to stand up and take a look at Northeastern Pennsyl va- · nia. An arena will give people a reason to notice us and to enhance our quality of life at the same time. For an example , when you think about the Binghamton, NY area, do you tend to think ·about the Oakdale Mall or the Broome County Arena? Many people, at one time or another, have been to that arena, whether it was for a hockey match, concert, monster truck rally, etc . .. The arena gives people a reason to notice Binghamton. I believe it is time somebody notices Scranton and Wilkes-B_arre. The time to build the arena is now. If we refuse or delay, we will never get the same chance again, and yet another opportunity will be wasted. Yes , it will cost money. Most things do, and that will place a burden on some people. But, if you are happy with IO~plus percent unemployment and our "coalcracker" image, fine . But if not, vote for the arena. We have squandered too many opportunities in the ' past. We cannot afford to waste this one. qcommutet qcornet With Kalen Churcher Recently , Th e Beacon publi shed a list of various volunteer.programs asking for help. There were programs to match riearl y everyone ' s tastes. _ Commuters are the ideal students to volunteer, for the simple fact that most of us have cars. Those who don't want to get involved with campus life can get involved with community life. l ' m sure that many of you trunk you have no time to volunteer , or just have better things to do. Maybe there's a part of you that is afraid to deal with the homeless or less fortunate people. For each of these frequent excuses there is an argument. Everyone should make time to vo lunteer. Not all volunteering involves hours of work. Why not help pack boxes at a local food bank or spend a Saturday at a soup kitchen. You can even use your bowling talent to help Bowl for Kids' Sake. By volunteering, you get much more out of the time that you give. Maybe you do have better things to do , but many volunteer services allow you to do other acti vities while volunteering . Sound confusing? As a Big Sister, I often find myself trying to figure out when I'll have ~e time to take out my Little Sister. As a result, she often tags along to meetings I have here at Wilkes, and for the most part, she enjoys it: She gets a chance to work on her homework before we do something fun, and she gets a taste of college life. While there is no reason to be afraid or uncomfortable around homeless or less fortunate people, there are volunteer activities that don't involve that kind of help. Make-A-Wish Foundation is always looking for office help, and telethons are generally more than happy to train new operators. Dorm students and commuters alike should all volunteer. For the Wilkes phone-a-thon, dormers don' t even have to leave campus. Commuters should make it a point to become involved with volunteer activities. After all, this is your community. You should want to help make it better. ] ble <!Cbatter with Michael Butchko "Would you stay ifhe promised you heaven , will you ever win?" The Chatter this week will be restricted to one subject, one which is on the mind of every person who lives in and around Luzerne County. The Fleetwood Mac which leads off this week (as you knew it would sooner or later) is a legitimate question, although instead of "heaven," we should use "an arena." Although I don't think that "Rhiannon" would ever sound the same. The people who support this project insist that a multi-purpose arena will lure industry to the area, which will hopefully persuade some of the young people to stay in this region. The opponents counter that an arena will only become a financial drain on the residents of Luzerne County, especially senior citizens on a fixed income (sic). So the lines are clearly drawn, and it seemed thatthe arena would be slated tor construction. All of this was changed, however, when Luzerne County Commissioner Frank (lfl Have to Be a Bug , I Want to Be A Grasshopper) Crossin decided that it was time to change his mind. Originally, Crossin did not w·ant the arena put to a vote. But as of last Friday, Crossin decided that the people should decide. This political waffle now jeopardizes the ground breaking, and supposedly ups the price tag by around five million dollars. A majority of_the voters are pleased, the arena supporters are not. We need a mediator in all of this, and frankly , the Chatter will be happy to fill the void. The real issue is not if the arena will be built, ·and I sincerely apologize for the rehash of the issue. The Chatter is more concerned with what our imaginary hock\!Y franchise will be called. How about the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Taxpayers? Think about it: the mascot can be your average Luzerne County couch potato, who will be too tired to cheer, too disinterested to look at the scoreboard, and too out of shape to stand for the National Anthem. The team will have no talent and a low payrol1, but be expected to win every game, seeing as taxpayers around here always want something for nothing. We could also name the team the Cockroaches, and have them enter the arena to the Spanish version of the song with the same title. That should be a motivational tool. We could name them the Three Blind Mice, which would symbolize the first line (hockey term) which will have no talent, or the Luzerne County Commissioners, who failed to realize that although an arena is not the whole solution, it is a step in the right direction. Instead, the taxpayers, who, like children, don ' t know that certain things are for their own good, will postpone a county resurgence until the whole place is one big lump of . . . coal. Feel free to submit to me your proposed team name, and the best one gets printed \\'.ith acknowledgements . Otherwise, that' s all for now. See you at the hockey games, and we' ll chat again next week. The Beacon is looking for new writers Features, News, Sports! School Credit is Available! .

As a junior here at Wilkes, I have, over the last two and a half years, often overheard other students complain about certain aspects of the University which they feel aren' 1 quite what you would call "exceptional," like you would expect for a school which costs over $11,000 a year in tuition and approximately $5,000 a year for room and board. One would think then, that those who tend to complain about the lack of quality regarding certain aspects of the university would surely take the time to seek out and "exceptional" aspects which they might have the opportunity to become involved in. As a matter of fact, one would think that all students would be eagerly attempt to get involved in anything "exceptional" which Wilkes has to offer, wouldn't you agree? I don't think so. The point is that one example of the exceptional surround us, yet some of us don't even realize it. The exceptional eat with us in the cafe . They go to class with us, they visit us in our rooms at night, and they party with us on the weekend. But, when the exceptional take the court, or the mat, or the field, we ali too often forget about them. All of a sudden, when the exceptional need us the most, we have other, more important things todo .. . ordo we? For those of you who have no idea what I'm getting at, please read on, because chances are, I'm talking to you. The exceptional to which I'm referring to are people . .. but more importantly, they are athletes ... and they are no doubt some of the best Division III athletes if! the country. Some of these Division III athletes were so exceptional at one time that they are now competing at the Division I level, and yet they still continue to be exceptional. Never before have I witnessed such astounding success among sports programs which receive so little attention from what is supposed to be one of the most effective catalysts to winning, the fans. What makes the fans even more effective at the college level of sports is the fact that the fans are students, and therefore know the players. The fans are faculty, and therefore teach the players. The fans are parents, and therefore raise the players. But, here at Wilkes, the fans are all too absent, which puts phenomenal pressure on the players to win, a pressure which rarely gets the best of these exceptional athletes here at Wilkes. Without offending any of the other fine Wilkes University sports progrclJllS, I would like to continue by u~ing men' s basket':lall to illustrate some points. · For those of you who stili don,.t understand, our men's basketball team has won 21 games this season, while only losing four. They have been crowned the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference) Freedom League champions with a 122 league record, and on Saturday, February 24, barely lost the overall MAC championship game to the Co~onwealth League champions, Lebanon Valley College, in what was one of the best basketball games I've ever seen. For those of you that are unaware, Lebanon Valley is the defending Division III national champions. Two Wilkes players have been named first team Freedom League all-stars for their superior performance on the court throughout the entire season, while yet another has been named to the second team. Wilkes has, in Mr. Jerry Rickrode, the MAC Coach of the Year, and is to host its first ever NCAA Division III playoff game at the Marts Center on Thursday, March 2. What's the missing piece to an almost perfect puzzle, you ask? We are. We, the students, although not all of us, are abandoning the exceptional when they need us the most. On Feb. 13, I walked into the-Marts Center gym at the half of a key game in which Wilkes was challenging one of its biggest rivals, the University of Scranton. Since Wilkes was 17-2 at the time and was playing every game for both the MAC Freedom League championship and a bid 10 the Division III national playoffs, I naturally assumed that I might have trouble finding a place 10 sit. Much to my surprise, the gym was more than half-empty, at the start of the second half. Wilkes went on to lose that night, in overtime, and sure enough, it didn't take long for people to start saying how Wilkes cracks under pressure . Cracks under pressure? No ... I don't think so. What mos tofus don't realize is that these players have faced more pressure situations since they started their season in November than most of us face in an entire semester. Do we, as students, really understand the amount of pressure involved in competing with an almost perfect record for a MAC championship, and for a bid to the Division III national playoffs? I'm sure a select few of us do, but then again, a select few of us go 10 every game we can get to. After all, do you really think Scranton would have had a prayer of winning if there was 1,500 Wilkes students in attendance, instead of 150. Once again, I don't think so. So I as you, next time your fellow athletes, some of whom might be your best friends, take the court, or the mat, or the field, take an afternoon or an evening to return the favor and take the stands. After all, these athletes, and their coaches, don 't only give everything they've got to fulfill their dreams, but to fulfill your dreams as well. And if you do not dream of your friends and fellow athletes rising to the top and overcoming the odds to be the best there is and ever was, then I find you lack of concern quite selfish . One of these days, a Wilkes University sports program is going 10 win a national championship,. and if you do not dream of being there for your friends and fellow athletes as they struggle through both the good times and the bad on their quest to win that national championship, then I find your lack of involvement quite sad. Good luck friends and fellow athletes ... and remember. .. because of your tremendous dedication to the sports which you play, both you and your programs are truly exceptional.

Some of tne most competitive teams will meet in hopes of placing their wrestelers in the top three positions. The top six wrestlers in each weight class will receive medals and the top three will advance to the NCAA Nationals in Iowa, 2 weeks after the EIWA. Last year Wilkes placed 12th, of 14 as a team in the · tournament and their best individual palcement was Corey Fleisher who placed second. Ban-y Van Scoten placed forth in the compitition and was the second highest on the Wilkes team. This year Wilkes will send 10 wrestlers to the compitition once again .

The Pittsburg Penguins suffered ~vo losses served to them by the "all of a sudden" Lightning ofTampa Bay and the in1amous New York Islanders. Jagr had some difficulty finding the back of the net as he fanned on and missed the net several times within these two games. The almighty pens are mmtal so they can bleed just ask Wendell Young the backup goalie for Ken Wregget. The Islanders displayed their scoring abilities against the backup as it was to be the goalies first appearance in net as a Penguin. However, the Penguins found redemption as they beat the Nordiques 75. With a second period onslaught, Pittsburg scored enough goals to hold off the second place team. If Pittsburg allowed the Nordiqus to win they would have slipped into a three game losing streak and claimed second place in the NHL. As the Islanders up their record with two big wins over Pittsburg and Montreal this past week. With this push forward the defence fo und themselves dropping out like flie s. First the hard-hitting Darius Kasparaitus was scratched due to a torn crucial anterior ligament which guarantees him a permanent position on the bench f mt at least the rest of the season. The other physical defenceman, Richard Pilon, has been scrathed for tilt past few games and so has Vladimer Malakov with a wrist problem. Finally there is the MVP from last year, Scott Lachance, who will miss 5-6 weeks due to a broken ankle. Where does this leave the Islander' s defence? Well you can ask Dennis Vaske who is the only defenceman to start in all of the Islander's games this season A 0-0 tie? Who could have imagined that Florida would have come to a double shutout with the New York Rangers. Last time that the Rangers came to 0-0 tie John Vanbiesbrouck was in net for them . Guess who was goaltending for the Florida Panthers? Yes you guessed it. He stopped a total of 44 shots and blanked a number of breakaway opp.ortunities. St. Louis fo und themselves pulling out some close games but much to their liking, on top. With a tight race for first place St. Louis finds the company of Chicago and Detroit to be a stepping stone as they strive for perfection. The team has lifted their play to a new level and with a possible trade involving Craig Janney the team can only get stronger. Dallas finds the cellar to be a bit frustrating. With a total of 18 penalty minutes, in the first period alone, against the Chicago Blackhawks last Monday night. With as many as 4 players in the penalty box at one time the Stars got redirected from a 1-0 lead to a 2-1 loss. Remaining in last place, Dallas hopes to break their imersonation of the Ottawa Senators. Not that there is anything wrong with being in last place. Philadelphia is off to a better season with the aquisition of their three new players. John LeClair has chalked up the first two hat-uicks of his career and that is only within the first ten games that he has played with Philadelphia. The Flyers have reached the .500 mark for the first time this season. With this young team on the rise the Atlantic Division will surely have to find some way of containing this rising team . This next week will be an eventful one mostly in the Eastern Conference. Pittsburg will have to ward off the the Quebec Nordiques once more. The Rangers will attempt to keep the Lightning behind them and ward off the New York Islanders. In the Western Conference St. Louis will strive for first place and Chicago will attempt to re-enter the first place race.

On March 3, I attended the Sixth-Annual Career Fair, sponsored by the Inten~ational-Association ofBus' Communicators. The Communications Department coordinated the program and the doors of Marts were open the entire Wilkes community. Quite a few individuals learned about .the state of the market for college grad Mock interviews, talk about job-related skills that can be developed here and now at Wilkes, and tips on the art networking fm·ther enriched the program.

Many students feel too proud to call an ort and wind up walking alone with a can of mace or pepper spray. But, mace or spray can actually do more harm than good. Once the pin is pulled and the spray is released, its contents · effect everyone in the vicinity, including the person who sprayed it. For those of you who have never smelled mace, it' s not a pleasant odor, and besides causing watery and temporarily blind eyes, its smell quickly induces vomiting. But even if the mace does not affect you in this way, it is possible your mace doesn't even work. Possibly the best advice to students is to take a self-defense class. Many are offered for free or at a minimal cost Those that cost money, however, are well worth it. . Wilkes offered a free self-defense session last semester, but unfortunately, attendance was poor. This semester, the University tried to help students deal with the problerp. by offering a semester-long self-defense class. No one can force you to be smart and take care of yourself, but it is unfortunate that many people don't take precaution until it's too late. Remember, no·one is invincible. It can happen to you. 3Jble <tbatter with Michael Butchko Editor 's Note: Unfortunately, Michael Butchko is suffering from a bad case of the Chicken Pocks!

Some headed home to catch up on their sleep while others began the first of many days tanning or partying. Eight Wilkes University students along with Campus Interfaith director, Mary Hession and Volunteer Services director, Amy Mazur had other plans f o r Spring Break. • At 4 pm, thisse1e C t group set out o n their 1,100 mile trip to Mobile, Alabama. Last semester, Hession and Mazur began making initial plans for the trip, investigating a number of sights and reviewing fees and accommodations. In January, they made their final decision and students were picked during the first week of February based on applications they submitted. The following five weeks were spent preparing, by attending workshops that hosted readings and guest speakers. They also completed an intense study on the type of community service that they would be providing for the "people with handicaps." As a consultant for the fourth, fifth and sixth-graders, the students are required to fulfill a 10-hour commitment throughout the month of April. They must also obtain a good personality and be willing to serve as a role model for the younger students. "Wilkes students can use this oppo1tunity to help elementary students while gaining a valuable experience themselves," said Professor Marianne Rexer of the Accounting Department, coordinator of the program.

Throughout the past year and continuing into next year, Wilkes has been restructuring the flow of classes and breaks. One of the big changes in break occured earlier this Spring semester. Rather than giving us a break in February right after students returned from a long Christmas break, Wilkes finally gave us a normal Spring Break in the middle of March. This was a well-needed and deserved change. Not only is it annoying to finally come back and escape the pa.rental units only to be forced to go home again, but we never seemed to be on Spring Break at the same time as most other schools. This year, just when we were about to crack, we were able to go home and unwind. This early Spring Break also allowed for another nice gap before Easter Break. Students are already counting the days and just when they can't take it any more, they will be released. Now, wnen the students return, they will have finals to look forward to. This year, Wilkes decided to make finals two hours instead of three. This is one change that I don't agree with. While, I' 11 admit there are some finals that don't require a full three hours, however, there are those, mainly science and engineering, that require the full three hours. By shortening the finals, professors are forced to condense their material and cram as much as possible into those two hours. This makes it much harder on the students both in studying and in the actual test taking. I think they should bring back the three-hour finals. It doesn't mean that you have to use all three hours to take the final, it just gives the option and the extra time to those who may need it. Next year, Wilkes is going to have a normal Christmas break which will allow the students to finish earlier in May. This will also put the students on the same schedule as other colleges. It will also allow students to get an earlier start in the job market. What do you think of the changing times at Wilkes? Write to us and let me and the rest of the school know.

I dis Being the mascot, I've been to every home basketball game this season and I've never seen such turnout. I have also never seen a Wilkes crowd so psyched and into a basketball game. That rocking! Everyone was so into every chant that was started. It was so great that I stayed up in theb with the crowd for the entire game, something I usually don't do. As for the chant of "Let's get never heard it so it must have only been coming from a select group of people. This was the best Wilkes basketball game I've ever seen in the two years I've been invol cheerleading and I'd like to commend the fans for showing such great support. I'd also like to con the basketball team for a tremendous season and wish them the best ofluck next year.

As an infant, my mom would turn on the Watergate hearings just to keep me quiet. The first word i said was "mom." The second was "impeach." At the age of eight, I lobbied my parents not to vote for Reagan, pleading to them that he would ruin the country. At the age of 20, I volunteered my time to help elect a new President. I have been interested in the political system for the simple belief that , effective leadership can fulfill the promise of a "more perfect union." By wot-king together, we can solve problems that face this country, both politically and socially. These were the beliefs of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and many others. Over my lifetime, I have felt that we have been moving towards a "more pe1fect union." Until now, that is. House Speaker Newt Gingrich has asked for 30 minutes of network primetime this Thursday to address the country about the completion of the GOP' s "Contract with America." This request is rather unprecedented. Networks will usually pre-emt their programming for a Presidential address only. But, whatever happens, Gingrich will never share with us the true mean- ~ommuter ~orner tor or iitors With Kalen Churcher Well, it's finally here. Spring, that is. sonal teed to ;paper 1egins. tions! ing ofthecontract, the meaning that our children will read about in their history books. The contract is a gimmick , a phony political stunt, but it shows the true soul of the political conservatives-hopelessness. Conservatism was born in the 1960' s as a reaction to the social changes that were occmTing. It~ foundation is anger, particularly white male anger. It's supporters are those woo had to give up the most to provide equity and opportunity for all Americans. Conservatism festered for nearly 30 years until the Republican party took control of Congress this year and exploited the anger and resentment and frustration and fear that has gripped the population of this country. But for all of their rhetoric and pandering, the Republicans truly do not understand what is occurring. The people are not scared of big government and regulations, etc ... What we are scared of 1s that our world is changing-the world is no longer bi-polar, but multi-polar. Our economy is becoming more global in nature. We are becoming more dependant on each other, not less. Technology is advancing at unprecedented rates, and on and on. But this is the future of this country. What this country needs · the leadership that will prepare us for the future, not 19th Century social reforms. This is the challenge for not only the Democratic party, but this country. But the funny thing is, this is what Bill Clinton has been talking about for the last three years. But for the meantime, in case you do lose hope.just take comfort in the fact that history will not be kind to Gingrich and company. A few weeks ago, I wrote. about the things this area has to offer in the winter months. Now I'm here to tell what spring has to offer in the Wilkes-Barre area. First of all, Kirby Park is just a short walk over the Market Street Bridge. There, you can find a softball field, tennis courts, and a track. If the walk across the bridge is enough exercise, you can just sit back under a tree and watch the ducks in the pond or read a book. Not far from Kirby Park you'll find the Kingston Annory that houses a ;;reat circus every year. Why not go and bring out the kid in you? Eventually, the wann air will be here to stay and the banks of the Susquehanna will be lined with cherry blossoms. This brings me to another annual event-the Wilkes-Barre Cherry Blossom Festival. Surely everyone will find something to suit their taste there. Why not just get outside and enjoy the fresh air and the many historical aspects that this area has to offer? Something that should also interest the local students are the local elections. I'm not going to give you a lecture on why people should vote, but now is the time to get involved in politics. Iffor no other reason than to voice your opinion on the proposed arena project. No matter what you decide to do, be sure to enjoy the spring, and remember, it's less than three months until summer! 3Jble <!Cbatter with Michael Butchko "The show is over, say good-bye." Just how long has it been, faithful reader? By the time you read this, it will have been 30 days since the last Chatter. Withdrawal symptoms, anyone? It's obvious that this columnist is still suffering from some sort of fever, since Madonna is leading off this week. Since so much has happened since we last spoke, this Chaher will be more idle than normal, as we talk about the end of various "shows." Issue 1: The Itchy and Scratchy show, or a pox upon the Chatter. It was indeed the Chicken Pox (trust me, it should be capitalized) that sidelined this column for a week. As for the erroneous report of measles in Mr. Rae's column, well, it just wasn'ttrue. But facts aren't impo1tant, right, Joe? Now a vaccine has been developed for this glorious virus. I'll be as altruistic as possible and say how wonderful that is. Even though my personal virus is over. Issue 2: Giving credit to those who deserve it. Since The Beacon has been on sabbatical, the coverage of the weekend up in Hartford for the men's basketball team has been nonexistent. Those of us who were privileged enough to see the Williams game were witness to an unbelievable comeback. The Trinity loss was a product of home court advantage, and nothing more. Witness Trinity's two losses in the Final Four by a combined 50+ points, which tells Wilkes fans that the better team did not win. The show may be over, but it will be back for next year. And it was a magnificent run. Nice job, guys. Issue 3: Did anyone watch that whole Oscars show on Monday night? That was tedious, and for us "Pulp Fiction " fans, it was also a travesty. But the Chatter guesses that the heartwarming picture about a simple man stumbling into history is a timeless classic, and received the honor it deserved. No question: I must be delusional-. "Hoop Dreams," anyone? Issue 4: Now boarding, Flight Air Jordan to and from Chicago. Michael's back, abandoning a sport which makes the aforementioned Forrest Gump look like a Rhodes scholar, and returning to the NBA. The Chatter has a serious problem with Jordan sporting number 45, which makes his whole return nothing more than a great marketing ploy. Butpubiic relations can't win you tides, and unless a trade occurs, he won ' t be playing in June. Issue 5: The death of Easy-E. Another victim of the iono• e ranee of AIDS, and the feeling of indestructibility held by superstars. Even more interesting is NBC' s Tom Brokaw reporting that Easy-E died at the age of 81. Tom has obviously been collaborating with Mr. Rae, and the two of them have cornered the market on facts. In all seriousness, thank you for your get well wishes durin!! a rather scabby · time. Thal' s all for now. Barring any othe; contagious childhood diseases, we'll chat again next week. The Beacon is looking for new writers Features, News, Sports! School Credit is Available!

Trapp left the KKK and later supplied the FBI with information about the Klan's activities. Waterson's visit was sponsered by the Wilkes Uni versities English Depaitment, Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honors Society and the Manuscript Society.

The good teams have perv · and now with an average of 9 games remaining for each team there seems to be the endof season mad rush. Now that desperecy has set in there is one thing to look for and that is high score . to inscinuate that the goalies are slacking off but rather to prove that defence can make orb a team. Many injuries to defencemen have left some teams scrounging for a win let al remain in the playof race. One team in particular would be the New York Islanders. If someone were to ask Lo Henning what place they would expect to finish with, in regular season, second to last in conference would not have even crossed his mind. Now with the absence of Kasparai Lachance, Pilon, and current injuries to several other defencemen the Isles themselves le · Rookie goaltender McLennan has a tough time watching all of the odd man rushes come at and that would explain his 3.92 goal against average. Although the scoring has not been for this ,young team either. Pie1Te Turgeon began the season a bit slow and is currently second leading scorer on the team with 13 goals as Ray Ferraro has improved his game as promised his late father. Averaging less than three goals a game can kill any team. On the other side of the Atlantic Division there is the Washington Capitals and recent discovery, Jim Carey. No there will be no Mask jokes. At the present he has a 1.92 g against average and is in good contention for the rookie of the year award. With a .defence this rookie has every reason in the world to confident. After all he did not cleanho in the college awards for simply playing a backstop. Ray Borque has proved his worthiness for yet another consecutive season. By hot the opposing teams to a meer 2.6 goal against average he and Blane Lacher have swnned opposing teams. Not to mention that one of the starting defencemen, Al Iafrate, ha missing and is not expacted back for at least a week. This past Tuesday was no exception the Bruins deflating the Quebec Nordiques by a score of 5-1. Adam Oates spiced up the off with two goals and Cam Neely managed to stir up some emotion in the Nordiques dcfe As everyone knows Pat Lafontaine has made his first appearance with the Buft1 Sabers since last February. He open fired on the lacking Islanders with a goal and an However in the past few games he has only put 4 goals up on the board and the Saber h dropped a few critical games but within Buffalo's last few games of the season you canex the vetran to produce and in a big way. On the lighter side of the Saber's game play they not found any injury to Dominic Hasek.

With these two teams reaching for their first playoff appearani;e ever it would not be hard to predict who would advance to the second round of the playoffs. Although SanJ managed to pull off an upset over the Red Wings last year the team had 81 games to pre for that moment and besides San Jose is a much deeper team than .Tampa Bay. As Quebec pulls off their dream season Pittsburg plays a little game of leapfrog them. This can discourage any team just making it within the Eastern Conference because top team, at the moment Quebec leads but as Pittsburg has demonstrated they are highlyca of regaining the lead. Last but not least in the Eastern Conference there are the high impact Flyers. Ledby 235 pound Eric Lindros has led the most feared front line in the NHL.
