For those who are unsure as to which way they will vote, the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of the League of Women Voters is co-sponsoring a free, nonpartisan debate about the proposed Luzerne County arena i on Monday, April 17 at 7 pm. Members of Arena Yes and Taxes No will present their sidt.:s in a traditional two-person debate format, with an oppurtunity for written questions from audience members. While local media has given the proposed arena wide coverage, the debate will allow the public to recieve firsthand information from both the Arena Yes and Taxes No groups.

College students in particular will see its effects. One of the major reasons why the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area hasn't become a ghost town is that there are several quality colleges and universities in the area, which have the ability to bring in younger people from other areas to live and their families to visit. Parents, family and friends come to the area in order to spend time with their loved ones that live here. There is actually a tomism base associated with the local colleges and universities. The arena would provide families with a reason to stay in the area an extra day or two, shop at local shops, eat at local restaurants, .stay in hotels, and get a better look at the area and what it might have_to offer. As well as attracting outsiders, the arena might also help give students a reason to stay in the area. It would be a valuable tool in attracting businesses that would supply jobs that are just not there today. Just ask Stephen Barrouk how difficult it is to draw businesses into the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton area. The arena would create an estimated 1,000 new permanent jobs in the area. That would mean that more and more young people would have the chance to stay in the area and work rather than be forced to leave in order to find a decent job. Ultimately, the arena would make this region more attractive and competitive when it comes to bringing new quality companies to this region. Often heard is the gripe that tl)e youn·ger people would find the area less atractive if there is a tax imposed to fund the . arena. A tax of a few dollars a year is not likely to drive out or discourage someone from living in the area. The fact that there are no jobs in the area will certainly keep people out of the area. Th~e area has a growing elderly population. This translates into a decreasing work force, yet another reaspn why a company would not give the area a second thought. Sof!}ething must be done to keep the area from becoming a ghost town. The arena may not be the answer to all of our problems, but it at least shows were trying.

Before we depart for the upcoming holiday, dear reader, we pause to give thanks for something which was lost, but now is found; was blind, but hopefully will soon be fitted for corrective lenses. And make no mistake: the Chatter has a plethora of issues available for discussion, such as why Kato Kaelin should be sent to live in Biosphere Three, or why UCLA laid a good, oldfashioned butt-kicking on the "First Team.:.' (sic) of college basketball, or why Corpus Christi, Texas is the new murder capital of the world. But all else pales in comparison to the news which was made public this past weekend, and the mandate which as of Saturday, April 1 1995, at 11 :59 pm sent replacement players home. Three words, people: pitchers and catchers. Before all of you cynics, you nay-sayers , you downcast former fans of the grand old game become all flustered , this column will issue a statement concerning you: go away, you bother me. For the past 230-plus days, we as baseball fans have been deprived of the game we love so much. I do not care who caves in on the luxury tax issue, nor do I care if small markets like Pittsburgh can ' tsupport the Pirates. If so, then move; teams will find homes elsewhere. What matters is that the game is back on, to bon=ow that now overused hockey term . Another workstoppage still looms, but I'm desperate. I'll take whatever I can get (no wisecracks, please). Ove~· the next three weeks, teams will scramble like Democrats in Massachusetts to sign free agents. The game will again be returned to the non-replacement state it should hav~ been in all along. As that articqlate spokesman for the game Lenny Dykstra of the Philadelphia Phillies (who finished behind my beloved New York Mets last year) said, "We (expletive past tense verb) the fans." Even Nails feels a little bit guilty. If you are an estranged fan of baseball, the Chatter feels your loss, but implores you to once again begin following the game, for who knows how long we will have it before empty suits and brainless ballplayers take it from us again. And if you still wish to complain and moan about how much they get paid, then do the world a favor and don't watch. The same people who said that their lives could exist without baseball need to be reminded that baseball can also exist without them. Enjoy the smell of pine tar, the crack of the bat, the beauty of a 6-4-3 double play (if you ' re scoring at home , or even if you're alone). Also, have a joyous and relaxing break; or if you're behind in your work (hey, aren't we all), hopefully your break will be productive. Either way, the Chatter signs. off with a bounce in its step and no hitches in its swing. That's all for now. We'll chat again after break.

There was obviously no issue of TheBe published that week, and it was also not possible to publish an issue the following spring break. • The next issue was the March 30 issue, nearly three weeks after the N Tournament run ended for the Colonels. By this time, the games were certainly no longer news. We also admit that sports coverage has not been up to par (to use abad pun) lately. It is not the job of the sports editor to cover all of the Wilkes spo events. The Beacon is in need of sportwriters as well as newswriters and students are encouraged to make submissions. It seems as though there are more than enough students who have the time complain about the lack of coverage, but very few that are willing to give up time to write and submit an article.

Clark G. Fiester, brother of Dr. Benjamin F. Fiester, was assistant secretary of the Air Force and an associate to Defense Secretary William Perry. To show their condolences for the victims, the Wilkes University ROTC held a student organized ceremony Thursday, April 20 on Chase lawn. Wearing their dress blues, the cadets lowered the U.S. flag; while the national anthem played in the back- ground. As the ceremony progressed, three gun shots rang out and the cadets presented the American Flag to Professor Fiester. Cadet Pastewait, who helped organize the memorial, commented that although this was a regular retreat ceremony, they wanted to turn it into something special to show how much they cared. "I feel this is the finest trib~te the students could have given to these men," said Jane Lam pe~Groh, Dean of students affairs. "Not only is it a way of reaching out to Clark Fiester and the men killed, but also an equally wo nderful gift to Ben Fiester." By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor In October 1994, the Off Campus Council met for the first time with President Brian Adam s · and decided they wanted to try something new; an activity that every student could enjoy. At the time OCC was hoping to involve more students in campus activities, the Programming Board had just sponsored "Tribes," the hottest band \ around. While Student Government planned on holding Casino Night with the help of , OCC, their plans soon fell thru and all groups were left doubtful. With a limited budget and questioRs of what to do next, the groups decided to join together and organize some sort of beach party. Since a contract had pre- viously been made with the Ray Boston Company to host Ca~ino Night, instead of cancelling, the clubs instead changed the contract and incorporated a swimming pool deal. As time wore on, more and more games were included in . the events such as a student dunking booth, sumo wrestling, a bungi run, robotron, a professor pie-throwing contest and vario us carnival-like games. Tony Thomas, of the Cherry Blossom Festival soon became involved in sponsoring several food vendors. To gain the participation of more students and allow the dubs a fund-raising activity, 6-7 Wilkes University clubs agreed to s~t up booths that would benefit the festivities and their own pockets. Adding to the event, the Programming Board decided to co-sponsor and pro "Tribes" as the entertai ... And so the Block escalated.

Dr. Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of many biographies of former presidents, would agree. A standing-room-only crowd turned out at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center Monday evening to listen to Goodwin speak about her books. The lecture was part of the Max Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities. Goodwin gave an often humorous lecture on the presidential families she has written about. She began withLyndonB.Johnsonwith whom she worked as an assistant during his last year in the White House. She also visited Johnson many times at his private ranch affer his term in office ended. The closeness of the Kennedy family inspired her to bring her sons closer together. Goodwin said that she admired Mrs. Kennedy because she created an institution of a family that has lasted over generations. Most of Goodwin's speech was devoted to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt whom Goodwin called the most productive partnership in our country's history. She revealed many startling facts abou their man-iage. She spoke of how the Roosevelts stayed together despite Franklin's affair with a young woman early in their maITiage: These personal aspects of the former president and his disabilities caused by polio were largely ignored by the press during Roosevelt's time in office Goodwin said. She then contrasted this against how the press handles the president today. Goodwin referred to the constant coverage of George Bush sick in Ja. pan, Gerald Ford falling down airplane steps, and PresidentBillC!inton' alleged extra-marital affair. She said that there wa a dignity to the office of the president that since been lost. At the end of her speech, Goodwin answered questions from the audience ranging from her opinions on the political and social consequences of the bombing in Oklahoma to her love of baseball, well displayed on the recent PBS documentary "The History of Bast· ball," and how she fell about the recent player' strike.

I've been incarcerated for nearly twelve years and the loneliness I've experienced from the fact of not hearing from family, friends, or loved ones isn't a feeling I wish for anyone to experience. Since I arrived in this situation, it's been most possible for me to count the number of letters I have received on both hands, and visits have been of no existence for me. I know if you ever felt an ounce ofloneliness in your heart, the reason behind my plea will be very easy for you to understand. I'm a male, white·, 43 years of age and single. I'd be very happy to hear from anyone who might desire the opportunity to correspond and I promise to answer any and all letters. I'd like to offer you payment for the publishing of my letter, but my only income is $13 a month that I earn from my job assignment, and that is mainly spent on the cost of my personal hygiene needs, etc. This is another situation I have no choice but to accept. I'm sorry and I hope you can understand. Thank you for listening and I appreciate your time and consideration. Respectfully yours, Frank S. Gill #3707 CIC (24B-1C) PO Box 601 The Oklahoma City terrorist bombing is a tragedy that has affected millions of Americans throughout the country. Already they have uncovered around 100 bodies from the wreckage of the federal buildihg and over 100 are still missing. The hope of the surviving families and loved ones is dwindling. Local churches are full of anxious and concerned citizens waitfog to hear some word on loved ·ones. Fear has been instilled into federal buildings and the nations sense of security has been shattered. Federal buildings throughout the nation have been beefing up their security preparing for another attack. Who knows where it will strike next. Even our own Stark Learning Center was the subject ofa bomb threat this past Friday in the morning. Flags throughout the country have been lowered out of respect for those that died and those who have suffered from this tragedy. _ On the other hand, I am amazed and appauled at the number of flags I have seen flying at full mast since the bombing occured. Have these people no respect? No feelings at all? I went home over the weekend and I really noticed it there in NJ , especially. I wanted to just walk into the building that had their ~~~~P~e~n~d~le~to~n~,~In~d~i~an~a~4~6~0~6~4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ff flag at full mast and ask them if they had any respect, consid- " I I. eration or compassion for those suffering in Oklahoma?

A concerned woman instictively , rushed to the scene in order to show her support, but little did ~ she know, she was rushing to her own death. The 37-year-old nurse was in the process of trying to help when a concrete slab · fell from the building and struck her on the head. She died five days later leaving behind a newly wed widower and four children. The question on every American's mind is: what is going to happen to the men that are responsible for this tragic event? . Will they receive the same punishment? Will they receive the death penalty? Or will they go to jail, get "rehabilitated" and released 10 years from now to start all over again?

Deadline for Registration is TUESDAY, MAY 2 �- <l&rgani?.eb ~nartbP- i~:ph Last week, as we all know by now, a federal building in the heart of Oklahoma City was destroyed by a terrorist bomb. And, if the reports are correct, the bombers are far-right American extremists terrified of the federal government, terrified that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (A TF) is coming for their guns. They are angry over taxes, Waco, and Randy Weaver. They alledgedly killed, as it now appears, over 200 citizens. Men, women and children were crushed under nine floors of twisted steel and rubble. They did all this to lash out at the government and everything it represents. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I just wonder who will pla_y them in the movie. Think about it. This is a rather magnificent story full of terror, drama, heartache, healing, loss, hope, and patriotism. I can just see hundreds of producers at this very moment formulating script ideas and hundreds of actors and actresses picturing themselves in one of those roles. But what is even sadder is that at this very moment there are hundreds of politicians, pundits, and strategists trying to get in on this story. See, in America, two hundred lives isn't a tragedy. It's an opportunity to get atten_tion, an opportunity to win votes. And I guarantee that over the next few weeks everyone possible will try to get into the act. They'll pass new laws to give the FBI powers J. Edgar Hoover never dreamed of. They'll pass laws to depo1t legal aliens on mere suspicion and curb constitutional_ rights. Then they'll blame somebody who they reason is responsible. But who or what will it be? How about Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, liberals, the 1960's, Jimmy Carter, the Communists, or any other convenient targets? But they will never learn the real lesson of Oklahoma City; the angry and hateful rhetoiic has to stop. We cannot shrug this act of terror off as the work of a few madmen. We need to recognize this act as pa1t of a larger problem. Our political discussion in this country cannot revolve around fear and anger. We have already allowed this decade to be the Decade of the Angry. We cannot let it go on. Because, if we do nothing, Oklahoma City might be a sign of things to come. Qtommuter Qtorner With Kalen Churcher Earth Day does not have to be just one day a year. There are many things that we can do to help our environment every day. There are always cleanup projects taking place. Some involve collecting garbage off roadsides Others involve helping clean out a section of the Susquehanna River. If you don't want to join a group that does this on a regular basis, you can simply get together with family or friends and clean up the area around your house. A second thing that you can do is not litter. It was amazing to see how much litter was left at Kirby Park after the Earth Day festivities. How much extra effort does it take to put something in a garbage can rather than to toss it on the ground? Recycling is another easy way that you can do to help the environment. In some areas, it's mandatory to recycle aluminum, paper and glass. Wilkes has separate recepticles for soda cans in some buildings. If you're the type of person who is always broke, you can offer to collect cans from a couple of your neighbors and make a few bucks at the recycling center. If we all start conserving and recycling now, by the time we leave Wilkes, it will seem like second-nature to us. After all, getting up in the morning and going to school or work is a chore, but it's something we must all do. And realistically speaking, if we don't do something to cut wastes; there may be no beach to go to for Spring Break, or a clean ocean to swim in. Furthe1more, we may find that our dream homes will be located next to landfills and our yards will be unsafe for our children. 3Jble <!batter with Michael Butchko "There's battle lines bein' drawn; and nobody's right if everybody's wrong." - Buffalo Springfield; "For What It' Wo1th" With two weeks remaining in Beacon -land, there is agreat deal to do. It's time to reflect on the past year, to say our farewells, and to look ahead to a future which will hopefully be as bright or brighter than the past. But all of these Chatter topics have been replaced by inexplicable actions. The lyric which graces the top of the column concerns the bombing in Oklahoma City, and the now-poputar militia groups which dot our nation like sore ona leper. The chronology of events this past week only leave us with a vast a1Tay of emotions, from grief for those w'10 have died to anger for those who would knowingly and willingly commit such an atrocity. If you feel as if you have been bombarded with too much coverage already, then feel free to look elsewhere. This columnist has to vent, and could think of no better forum. What were your initial reactions to this incident? If you were like most Americans, you expected a Middle Easterner to be arrested for the bombing. And how did you feel when you found out it was a great American? Did you comfort yourself by labeling these men as right-wing extremists? Or were you shaken that someone could have such a gripe against the government of the United States that he or she could blow up innocent children? Unfortunately, as of this writing, most of what we as the public know about the bombing is pure speculation. We have already indicted an organization which we know so little about And although most of the members are probably aggravated with the government, I would venture that they would not support mass murder. Beware of generalizations, my friends; all they breed i more of this violence. Speaking of violence, the cycle continues. At Waco, innocent people were killed. Two years later, more people die, presumably as a response to the Branch Davidian killings. This i (to me) less right-wing vs. left-wing than it is total lack of respect for the sanctity of human life. Have a beef against the government? Then blow up a building! Do you hate Caucasians? Then go kill an innocent Caucasian! Same goes for all prejudice, correct? The polarization from which this nation currently suffers is much like leprosy, in that we seek to eliminate all of the pans which make us a whole. The cycle must be ended by education rather than stereotype, and by peaceful and productive discourse rather than random, disgusting, horrible violence. Call me an idealistic college siudent, but let me just say this: If you didn't shed any tears for the people of Oklahoma City who lost friends and relatives, parents and children because of this, then you (like mostofus) have become immune to this violence. We can't afford to label these groups and brush them aside; we can_'t afford to promote violence to the next generation. Simply put, we canno longer afford not to care. "It's time we stop, children; what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down." Before it's all too late. That's all for now. We'll say our farewells next week. �~pril :hko 29. right if hat It's:a great ewells, right or ,e been the top and the es on a •PULP FICTION will have a uble showing 7pm & 10 pm in the CPA 2 l 30 ~~turbap ~unbap ;fflonbap • Block Party at Ralston Field in Kirby Park from 11 am to 6pm • Celebrity Auction at 4 pm in the Marts Center.

Beacon Staff Writer The Surgeon General says By JOY ZIMMERMAN Staff Writer Health risks haven't deterred many from smoking. Neither have impediments such as no-smoking areas in restaurants, offices and classsroom buildings. Despite the Surgeon General's warnings about the negative effects ofcigarettesmoke, 28 percent ofAmerican men and22 percent of women smoke. Thesefigureshave declined since 1955, however, when 56 percent of men and 28 percent of women smoked. Smokers in the Wilkes community now have a separate section Stak Lobby. In a poll taken byaSmokingCommitteelastyear, over80percentofthe Wilkes population thought that classroom and m office buildings should be smoke free. Fifty-fourpercentthoughtthe campus should be smoke free. On a personal level, smokers have a difficult time kicking the habit and it takes meore than a smoke-freecampus to make someone quit. SophomoreSueKovaleskihas been smoking for two years. She tried to quit and was unsuccessful after about two months. The stress of final exams and the lure ofcigarette smoke from two friends with whom she was studying caused her to pick up the habit again. On the other hand, freshman Steve Alexson and juniqr Mike Smith are non-smokers and proud of it Neither has ever tried smoking and they definitely do not want to. Alexsonsaidhevalueshishealth too much. Smith replied, "I want my lungs." Some non-smokers do become curious enough to try a cigarette, however. Freshman Linda Girlock is one example. She did not enjoy it because she said,''I can't breathe when I do." Freshman Mike Shegalski is an on-again, off-again smoker. Pulling out a pack of Marlboros from his pocket and lighting one, he said he considers himself a nonsmoker, . Shegalski smoked his first cigarette three years ago, and continues to have a cigarette every once in a while, usually when he gets nervous. ''I don't really like to smoke,'' Shegalski said. ''It's an expensive habit." Freshman Eric Werner has ••• enjoyed smoking for three years. He quit only once for about two days, butsayshe'llneverquitagain. "It helps me relax when I'm stressed out,'' Werner said. Therearerolemodelsforsmokers who wish to quit pennanently, however. Freshman transfer MatthewTraughhad beensmokingfor three years. He then quit when his first child was born five years ago and has not touched a cigarette since.

So many people have touched my life and helped me through these past four years. Where do I start? Freshman year was definitely my hardest time here. If it weren't for my family, boyfriend and Circle K, I don't know how I would have made it through. Circle K took me in as a freshman and it was like gaining an instant family of friends from all over the state. It gave me a sense of belonging. I will never forget the friends that I have made, such as: Tim Williams, Amy Peper, Karen Munroe, Kelly Shaup, Brian Smith, David Marconi and many, many more.

Now, I am very proud of her and confident that she will continue to make The Beacon a success when she takes on the position of Editor-in-Chief next year. Randi, "The Mental Case" , has also grown as Features Editor and will continue to do so next v.ear.She has such a fun and wonderful spirit that I am truly going to miss on Wednesday nights. John-Erik, "Mr. Mayor", and Eric, ''The Jock", have also contributed so much of their energy to the paper. I will miss their chit-chat and stupid jokes that keep us laughing and stress free. The whole staff both this year and the past two years, has been great to work with, We will always be "The Breakfast Club" .· Most of all, I am going to miss our adviser, Professor Dana Alexander Nolfe. We were both new to the paper at the same time and we have worked together side by side for the past three years. Through that time we have become almost like sisters. (I think she would kill me if I made a mother/daughter reference!) I'm going to miss our morning tea and all of our talks and meetings. I guess I would just like to thank everyone involved with The Beacon, Circle K, all of my professors in communications, my advisor Jane Elmes-Crahall, my friends, parents and my fiance for helping me, guiding me; suppol1ing me and putting up with me for the past four years. 1 will truly miss Wilkes _University and I will always remember it with a smile.

's accident. You helped us get through the most difficult time of our lives by being there to give us encouragement, strength, and hope. Telling us "C.B. stories" and sharing your experiences made the slow moving hours more bearable. We did not know how many live he had touched until then. _ - When C.B. went to The John Heinz Institute for rehabilitation many of you continued to visit him and give him encouragement. We know that this helped him to improve, to work hard and to think about the future. His progress amazed the doctors! C.B. has been home with us since February 8, 1995. He travels to Wilkes-Barre 5 days a week for therapy at the present time, but that will be decreasing soon. He is looking forward to the day when he can cut back on the therapy sessions. It is very difficult to find adequate words to express our appreciation for everything that you have done for C.B. and us, his family. The cards, gifts, food, prayers and your visits kept us going. From the bottom of our hearts we say, THANK YOU!! The Miller Family (Mike, Sharon, Michael, Maurie, Kathie, and especially C.B.) LIBRARY HOURS EXTENDED DURING FINALS!

After receiving several rejection letters, his final insult was when his "safety zoo" rejected him: Scranton. "Scranton, they take like dogs and cows there!" It 's a pretty sad statement for this area, albeit funny and true. Twenty years ago, the writers could have replaced Cleveland with Scranton and got just as big of a laugh, if not bigger. But today, Cleveland is one of the best places to live in the United States. And how did they do it? Progress. Community, business, and political leaders came tqgether and worked for solutions. they invested in the city, cleaned up the city's waterfront, and, most importantly, they looked toward the future. So, why can't we do that here? Are we that afraid of the future, scared into inaction by the doom and gloom naysayer? There were naysayers in Cleveland.

Why would anyone want to murder so many innocent people and children? What did they ever do to the bomber(s) to deserve such a fate?

Patricia Gardner - ''Real World" here at Wilkes To Drink or not to Drink By JOY ZIMMERMAN StajfW,iter While in high school, students are constantly warned about the dangers of d1inking. However, arecentstudyin the New York Times showed thatmanycollegestudents binge within their first week at school. Many different factors may contribute to this. For example, being away from home for tl1e first time mightencomage some students to uy alcohol. Others maysimpl y succwnb to presstm~ from other students. llus problem extends to all colleges and universities, including Wilkes. Juniors Pam Kelly and Dave Peffego agreed that pressure from fi.iends on campus encomaged them to d1i.nk. As Pen-ego said, "It's the main social activity." Senior Heidi Zmuda also agreed, "I never drank until I got to college," she said. For some students, attending college has not affecteq their d1inking habits. Freshman Linda Girlock is one such student "It's not the social thing to cio around school," she said. Sophomore Samantha Fmcon stated, "My policy is, I only d1ink at weddings." Most students feel that the1-e is a problem with alcohol on tl1e Wilkes campus, but it is not as bad as some other colleges. Zai·oda said tl1at she felt Bloomsburg University has a bigger problem because t11ey have their own disuibutor. Kelly stated,' 'Campuses with frat houses ai-e worse." Many students agree that Wilkes should control drinking on campus, including within dmms. However, they feel notmuch can be done about off-campus apai.tments. Girlock is mm-e skeptical. 'There's not much they're going to be able to do about it because you don't know who's got what," she said. ................ . . _,,.,,.. .................... _..... - ...

Cash said the story was considered an attack on the King, and 43 people were arrested, including authors, printers and publishers. Cash said Wilkes ' defiance of authority and concern with the lack of power of the lower and middle class had attracted followers both in England and in the North American colonies and might have evn propelled him into a hero status. Wilkes University Professor Harold E. Cox said Wilkes entered politics at a time of extreme political turbulence, making his defiance all the moresignificant in political reform. Cox also put into perspective stories of John Wilkes ' promiscuity, which surfaced in a few of the presentations throughout the day. "If (Benjamin) Franklin could have played for the Yankees, the best Wilkes could have done was the Saint Louis Browns." Cox said. Louise T.

You think to yourself, "I could' ve gone to work and been making money right now instead of sitting in these boring classes. Well, if you have ever once had these thoughts, then let me tell you, I'd listen close] y t? what I' m going to say. You see this summer, while some college students tanned at the Jersey shore, some worked at ice cream places, and still others had behind the desk jobs, yours truly spent her LONG, I:IOT summer working for the Burlington County Bridge Commission. Yes, the title may sound nice and business-like, but would you consider wearing steel tip boots, wool-like work pants and bright orange t-shirts with a bridge logo on them appealing? I think not. Whether it was a Monday or a Friday-all 15 summer help workers along with the twenty-some full timers, began the day at 7:30 am with a cup of coffee and a list of jobs needing completion in order for the bridge to run on schedule. Some days it was painting, 0thers it :,vas mowing the lawn, and my fondest job of all-degreasing the bridge. Dressed from head to toe in a white, plastic ghostbuster uniform, goggles included, a selected group climbed undi:r the pigeon-infested bridge and began to grease between the grooves. At first the job seemed fun because it was so different from our previous assignments. Instead of glowing on the highway in my bright orange shirt, I was under the bridge siuelling pigeon dung. So, yes, the change of scenery was exciting. Well, to make a long story short, as the day drew on and I began to become nauseated from the terrible smell and the overhead cars whizzing by, I beganto realize the extent of my summer job. It was then that it hit me. 1his was my summer job. I was not a full time worker. 1his was not a lifetime thing . I could go home at the end of each day and count the remaining days until I returned to scho?l. But the full timers-they were really here to stay. For a few minutes I pondered and realized how lucky I really was. I wasn't forced to work because my parents needed the money. I did not have to marry because I became pregnant. I had the choice to attend college, and what was I doing but griping about it. So, think about this the next time you decide to complain that chapters one through three are too long to read or that you'll be missing the football game on television because you have a research project to do . Think about it. It's not all that bad. You could be degreasing bridges for the rest of your life.. . · Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication c/o Wilkes University, P.O.

By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Beacon News Editor Freshma n e n rollm e nt at Wilkes is the lowes t in nearly a decade, 23 freshman fewer than the fall of 1994 and 55 freshmen fewer than the fall of 1993. Freshman enrollment this fall fell short of the university's goal of 450 by 72 students. "We are obviously disappointed," said Dean of Admis- sions Bernie Vinovrski. The lower enrollment means an probable shortfall in revenue for the university . Vinovrski said Wilkes may be forced to cut some expenditures , but he doesn't anticipate any major cutbacks. He said the possible plans will be presented at meetings of the Board of Trustees on September 21 and .O' 22. In hopes of providing a rem edy to the falling enrollment, Wilkes has organized the Enrollm ent Management Task Force, co~chaired by Vinovrski and Paul Adams. Vinovrski said the university is working with the consulting firm of Williams Crockett of Denver, Colorado. " He said the group is workihg to compile and analyze nonstudent surveys sent to all stu- dents who were accepted into Wilkes and chose to attend another institution. Vinovrski said the university is interested in which institutions the students chose to attend and why they chose not to attend Wilkes. He said until the surveys are analyzed, he can not speculate as to why so many students chose not to attend Wilkes. In addition to the surveys, the university is planning to strengthen its recruiting and retention efforts. Among the planned changes is what Vinovrski described as an advanced communication plan between the university and prospective students. He said the previous policy of the administration involved little communication, written or via tele- phone, between universi~y officials and potential or accepted applicants. Vinovrski said the university will take · a more active approach with high school students who are trying to decide to which institutions they will apply and those who have been accepted and are deliberating about which institution they will attend. "(When choosing a college) Students make a decision over time ," · said Vinovrski. "They need to be provided with information about what the institution will provide them." He said the new methods of recruiting should provide the prospective students with this info1mation. "We've gone from a plan of zero communications, virtually, to sending (potential students) 10 to 12 letters concerni~ g different asp e cts o f Wilkes." Vinovrski said. The university will send these letters to all prospec tive s tude nts, regardless of academic standing or SAT scores, he said. The university also plans to employ Wilkes students to contact prospective students by telephor-1e and answer any questions they may have about Wilkes. Vinovrski said the administration has set a goal of 430 for freshmen enrollment in the fall of 1996, 20 students lower th an the goal se t for this fall, but 52 students higher than the number of freshman currently enrolled. .• Outside firm wor~ing to improve_bookstore By EMILY MIKA . Special to the Beacon When returning students entered the Wilkes University bookstore to buy their books this semester they may have noticed a few differences. Lines stretching the length of the bookstore are obsolete. Men dressed in shirts and ties ask, "Can I help you find something?" , Books are arranged alphabetically by subject, making it unecessary to check cardboard signs at the ends of each bookshelf to see where the biology , books or the <1ccounting books are located. Wilkes has decided to a lease the Wilkes University Book Store to Follett College Books. Jim O ' Connor, district manager for the firm and Don Drasba, store manager, say they are working hard to fulfill the needs of. the Wilkes Community, and more improvements are planQed. Currently, five cash registers with four charge machines and printers have been added to eliminate long waits during busy hours.

His grandparents' medical costs may push them into poverty, because of the hamburger you ate. The next hamburger you eat, may mean a wildlife species will cease to exist. Caring students may easily become part of the "Hamburger Rebellion" and oppose cmel' budget cuts and other self serving legislation by wealthy legislators, elected (ironically) wi th the help of a cattle lobby financed by beef eating budget cut victims, too. Large numbers of state legislators and county officials are, in fact, cattle ranchers. • Perhaps they are the same ranchers trying to wrest control of public lands, belonging to all Americans, from our government in order to block range refo1m. Overgrazing and other sometimes violent, abuses on our public lands are threatening many species, as well as, people and our country (the Sage Brush Rebellion?) Where ranchers legislators or ranchers county officials control or infl uence lawmaking bodies, conflict of interest (and ethics involved) should be exposed. No one can help every good cause, but victims of recent political change can silently protest and help their own cause, too, without writing letters, picketin g or otherwise going public. They can, simply, not buy a hamburger. Next elyction voters can remember that the greed of the wealthy has no conscience.

If a Chatter i~ written, but no one ever reads it, does it exist? These and other deeply philosophical questions came to mind last week when the Chatter hit the cutting room floor. What is worse, it ended my consecutive columns streak at somewhere around five. Ripken is safe, for now. Butthis week, there are more than enough issues to go around. One of our old friends has reappeared like a chronic stomach virus, and about as pleasant. It is Bob Packwood, the hormonal senaior from Oregon, who believes that "family values" means he should try to start a family with every woman he meets. Packwood has finally agreed to hang 'em up . .. maybe we should phrase that a different way. He has agreed to step down on October 1, which will, from now on, be designated National Pervert Day. So get out and celebrate. Those of you familiar with this usual weekly rant know that the Chatter normally tries to take the other side of what everyone calls the general consens·us. And Packwood was receiving the benefit of the doubt until 60 Minutes · on Sunday night. Although the Chatter stands by its belief, that this once-great news magazine now finds most of its stories by running a putty knife along the bottom of the news barrel, there was no disputing the victims who came forward and told the same story, just with a different setting. There was Bob in ·the woods, Bob in <;hambers, and Bob at home. All of these would cause any person with staunch moral values to break down and cry. Senator Packwood~s behav-· mbe ,Seacon ior is notorious, and reading his diaries would also lead any logical person to conclude that he has some sort of sexual problem. Thanks for the tip, Detective Obvious. But the tragedy of this story remains that Bob Packwood as a legislator is closer to the common person in issues than anyone else. He is for a subtle type of welfare reform, yet he also realizes the importance of environmental issues, which is not easy coming from a state with more trees than people and a huge timber industry_. At a time when a "moderate conservative" is shunned by the religious right, Packwood was one of the more realistic lawmakers we had. But the Senate is suffering. Anotherfave of the Chatter, Senator Bill Bradley,· decided that he had, had enough of Washington, but left open a bid for the presidency. Political pundits, however, tell us he is too boring, and a grueling presidential campaign would probably prove that. So the ·· Senate is left to Dfck Armey and his "Barney Fag" remarks, and Barney Frank coughing uncontrollably during hearings, and Arlen Specter grandstanding, and Bob Kerrey screaming that no one is his god. The Chatter admits that Packwood is guilty, but it also realizes the need for good legislators, so it has created a provision for keeping him in the Senate. Remember those restraints Dr. Hannibal Lecterwas placed in dur- . ing the movie Silence ofthe Lambs, I think Packwood takes about a thirty-nine long. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. -------------------------- ~eptember 14, 1995 • NEED HELP WITH YOUR WRITING? •HAVING TROUBLE DECIDING WHAT TO SAY AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN? • CONFUSED ABOUT GRAMMAR AND MECHANICS?

He was handsorrte,polite and wanted to spend the summer with her on an island in Greece. What could be more romantic, more pe1fect? The night began with dinner reservations at a French restaurant notfar from campus. Peter ordered for them both in French, and even ordered a bottle of champagne. Katie explained to Peter that she didn't drink, but, despite her reservations, took a few sips to celebrate. Instead ofattending one of the local Fraternity parties, Katie invited Peter back to her room to dance to music that she had spent hours recording onto a tape for him. She had no idea what was about to happen to her. 1l1e invitation had seemed innocent enough. He came on strong at first, and then obviously realizing the terror that existed behind her eyes, continued, trying to manipulate her and make it o.k She must have said no over a dozen times and then her lips became silent Pinned to the wall, fists clenched into two .tiny white balls, and legs straight.

Oh, by the way, they also have the most wins of any Wilkes team. Led by seniors Tammy Swartwood and Wendy O'Connor, and under the guidance of head coach MariaHaslin, the Lady Colonels have rocketed to a 4-2 start. Their first game was a split, with a victory over Dickinson and a loss to Elizabethtown. Their most impressive output took place this past Saturday at the Luzerne County Recreational Tournament, hosted by King' s College. The Lady Colo, nels won their pool with wins over Misericordia, St. Joseph's, latter two schools to a total of 10 points in four games. They were not as fortunate in the championship bracket, falling to Baptist Bible, 15-12 and 15-11.

According to Swartwood, a big key for the season is that "everyone has returned and we have had a year experience with each other, making teamwork especially good this year." Swartwood also expects improvement this year. The Colonels will have a stiff test Thursday at Scranton.

Unless, of course, it is Wilkes University field hockey. After losing their home opener to Lebanon Valley by a score of 2-0, the Lady Colonels rebounded by trouncing Moravian 4-2 in Bethlehem. The Moravian victory was keyed by thy_seniors of the team. Seniors Theresa Havel and Sue Richardson scored the first-half goals, while seniors Kim Kaskel and Becky Farrington tallied second half goals only 50 seconds apart. Winning is not a new sensation to Coach Addy Malatesta' s team. The Lady Colonels are back-to-back Middle-Atlantic Conference Freedom League and ECAC Middle-Atlantic champions. Last year's team won 13 games. Eighteen letter winners returned from last season. One of the returnees is Kim Kaskel, a College Field Hockey Coached . Association Second Team All-American. Entering this season, Kim was tied for third all time with 36 goals. She is joined up front by Sue Richardson, as well as Theresa Havel, Becky Farrington, jun- ior Tonya Masenheimer, and sophomores Carrie Chipego, and Laura Gantz. The defense is just as formidable , with seniors Heather Quick and Phong Bui leading the Lady Colonels , supported by juniors Noell Brooks and Lee Meyers, and sophomores Heather Evanish and Allison Quick. Goaltender Tracy Engle was named an MAC Freedom League All-Star, with 11 career shutouts, including five consecutive last year. Closing out the team package is a talented but young group at midfield. Senior Stephanie Hastings and junior Christy Palilonis are the elders, joined by sophomores Jeanette Uhl, Jessica Azarewicz, and Shannon Crake, a transfer student. Many top recruits have been added to this championship team , including Lisa Workheiser and Melany Kalinanowicz on off~nse, Sarah Reed at midfield, and Pam Truskowski in goal. A gifted team is not complete without a gifted coach, and Addy Malatesta fills that role excellently. <:iting that the Lady Colonels, "want to be able to draw from the experience we have gained the past two years, but not dwell on it." With a "positive approach," the team "enters the 1995 season with high expectatibns to meet our goals for post season play by preparing for one game at a time." What's Inside Beacon Sports ...

"Greenway", University Center next up for Wilkes The wheels are still in motion on the university's $25 million campus construction/ renovation project. By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Beacon News Editor A greenway between South Street and Northampton Street and a University Center building are two of the major projects included in the university's plan of long-term development . The greenway will be in the center of the future academic quadrangle, which will include Stark Learning Center, the new classroom/office building, the E.S. Farley Library, Kirby Hall and Chase Hall. The objective is to have an academic area separate from student housing areas. The academic quadrangle will be the central part of campus. "The greenway will provide an area for student relaxation," said Vice President for Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises Paul A. O'Hop. He said it will be an area where students could both relax and read and throw around a frisbee with friends. The greenway will also be home to the university's arboretum, an area where different trees and ~hrubs will be grown for students to. study. O'Hop said trees will line both sides of the greenway and will be marked so students can easily identify the types of trees. He said the arboreturn will most benefit biology and environmental science students, but it is something that will be of interest to many Wilkes students. The academic quadrangle and the green way cannot be completed until the demolition of Church Hall which is home to the University Store. The future site of the Wilkes University bookstore will be the planned University Center. The center will be located on South Street, next to Be,dford Hall. Thecenterwill also house the university dining facilities, and several student activities facilities. O'Hop said construetion of the University Center will not begin until the spring of 1996 The Hillier Group, architects of the new classroom/office building, will also design the University Center. "We really liked the work they did on the new building," said O'Hop. Pickering Hall will also be demolished as part of the campus improvement project. This will open up a larger area for student parking. O' Hop said the university wants a large separate parking area, allowing for eventual construction of a multi-level parking facility. Additional student residence halls may be needed, O'Hop said. He said the university is planning on constructing two "campus villages," apartment-like complexes wi th laundromats. O'Hop said there has been no date set as to when construelion will begin on these complexes. "There is no need for new student housing yet," sa~d O'Hop. Workers putting finishing touches on TV studios By MICHAEL BEECHAM Beacon Staff Writer Wilkes University is putting the fi nished touches on its new state of the art television production facility, located in t)1e lower level of the Stark Learning Center. Production classes are being taJght in the stud ios this semester. As of the September 2~, taping of the "Colonel's Corner," Wilkes is also producing community access programming from the new Thomas P. Shelburne Television Center. Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chairperson of the Department of Communications, relates the new facility to a sparkpiug paperweight he keeps on his desk. It says that we must have the vision to see, faith to believe and the courage to do. "We have the vision," Kinney said. "It takes just one spark to keep things going." A lot of energy and hard work have gone into making the new studios a reality. The 5,500 square fo ot facility will house two studios, A and B; private editing suites and much needed space fo r classrooms and offices . In appreciation of a considerable donation by the Shelburne family, the facility will be named in memory of Thomas P. Shelburn~, a television pioneer in the Wilkes-Barre area, established WILK radio in 1946 and later fanned WILKTV which is now WNEP-16, an ABC television affiliate. ·Please see ''TV studio" on p.3 Ph oto by Megh an LaVigna The television studio in the base ment of SL C is up an running. �~age 2 mb_e ,Seacon $)eptember 21, 1995 Methane gas -halts elevator work By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Beacon News Editor Methane gas is responsible for the inoperative elevator in the new classroom/office build. ing better known to students as COB . . Vice President for Business and Auxilliary Enterprises Paul O'Hopsaid workers discovered natural methane gas in a hole under the hydraulic elevator plunger during the late stages of construction. The methane was found when workers unsealed a cap on the hole to finish the installation of the elevator, located on the east side of the building. The university stopped construction on the elevator and informed government authorities, including the Pennsylvania Department of En vironmental Resources, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. The methane is not creating a hazardous or dangerous situation, O'Hop said. He said the different authorities gave conflicting advice as to whether the university shoud cap the hole or install a ventillation system. He said it was, "a case of two bureaucracies battling with each other." The university has decided to compromise, using a combination of a cap and a ventilation system, said O'Hop. He said the configuration of the elevator was changed and the university was forced to order new equipment and further delay the project. He said the elevator will not be operable until late Octo, ber or early November.

EILEEN TAMANINI Special to the Beacon Parking for the Wilkes University community has been an ongoing problem for some time now. Unless you are among the few who were awarded a parking permit, you have to hunt every morning for that much needed parking spot. But, just how does the student get their hands o~ the prized permit? Commuter Council releases the parking permit application towards the end of every fall and spring semesters. They are located at the secmity desk in the lobby of the Stark Learning Center or can be received by going to the Commuter Council office located on the third floor Conyngham Hall. Of the 330 applicants received, only 140 permits are awarded by the members of th e Commu te r Council Committee, Dorothy Price, and Carol Bosack .. The following criteria is used when choosing those students who will be issued the parking permits: distance travelect, class standing, work oncampus_, campus involvement, and other special situations which Jennifer Escarge, presi~ dentoftheCommuterCouncil, could not comment on. Escarge said students wh~ carpool or who are involved in internships are also given special consideration. In fact , students are encouraged to carpool, if possible. The on-campus parking fee is $60 and can be paid at the cashier's window in the Student Services building on South Franklin Stree.t. If you are one of the unlucky members of the Wilkes community that did not qualify or forgot to apply, have no fear. Park & Lock South on South Main Street rents spots for $24 per month. A list of other alternatives and prices are available in the handbook published by Commuter Council, which can be picked up at the Commuter Council office or in · SLC. Wilkes University's security strongly enforces its towing policy in order to assure available spots to those who have purchased them. Towing regulations, according to the recently-released commuter handbook, state that any vehicle, with or without a pennit, will be towed immedi- ately if it is parked in any of the following areas : drivewa ys, loading zones , construction zones, sidewalks, fire lanes, grass and green way areas. Cars without permits will also be towed. If yo ur car is towed, it can be picked up at Simms Auto Service at 189 Race Street. There is a $30 towing fee. But, for those of us that are still trying to squeeze are vehicles into the smallest available space alongside the road and tend to forget that they are there, we can continue to look forward to paying the $5 meter fines . �' mbe ,Seacon s,eptember 21, 1995 t}age 3 School of Science and Engineering offers advice to health students WILKES-BARRE - Fol- Center. cessible to discuss academic lowing the curriculum.of an aca- Dorothy Duesler, secretary and career options with studemic major may not provide to the Office of Health Sciences dents and to write letters of you with all of the skills and and Profess ional Programs, will recommendations for medi- experiences you need to gain also be temporarily relocated to cal, graduate, and profesentrance to medical or profes- Sturdevant where she will be sional schools. sional school. available to assist students and The Heal th Sciences In addition to workiug with direct their inquireries.

Apartments on the other hand allow you the freedom to do what you want with whatever you want. It's your your support. own place, isn't it? Now, let me just say, there are a few advantages to living in a dorJ?l, rather than in an apartment, especially the ones at Wilkes. To begin with, the actual architecture of the Wilkes dorms (excluding Pickering) is absolutely breathtaking. From Weiss Hall to Waller North and South, the doors, windows and especially the interior features are an attractive . incentive for people to chose Wilkes. Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication Where other school's'have a majority of grubby dorms that remind you more of public rest rooms than actual rooms, Wilkes is highly noted for Editor-in-Chief - Regina Frappolli their old-fashioned houses that bring about the comfortable sense of home. When thinking of the disadvantages that go along with living off News Editor - John-Erik Koslosky campus, the main thing that comes to mind is bills, bills, bills. Although the Features Editor - Randi Hershman actual costs maycome out to be a little lower than room and board, the Sports Editor - Michael Butchko annoyance of having to divide the costs of bills between a group of people, Photo Editor - Meghan LaVigna can be very problematic.

But don't expect anything great this week, because the mid-semester fog has rolled in and shows no signs of lifting. Two people are on the Chatter's mind this week, which is good because there is no room for anyone else. Although last week's column was about politics, there is some_one else on the presidential horizon who needs mentioning. The other person is a two..:sport athlete who recently signed a huge deal which makes him a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, folks, it's Coli_n Powell and Deion Sanders. No, this isn't some bizarre "which doesn't belong and why" question . The Chatter recognizes certain fundamental similarities between these two men, and, as should be expected with this column, has a real problem with both of them. The media has been on them like flies on roadkill, and much like our insect friends, isn't sure what they 've stumbled upon. Deion is criticized by the sports media for_his flashy persona, while Co!iru~as.practically asked for his autograph by a panderiffg, gfasping kiss-up named Barbara Walters this past weekend. Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite? But this column is not about the news media; that's reserved for the real slow weeks. It's about Colin and Deion, two of the greatest snake oil salesman of all-time. Colin has written a book, dear reader, and is currently on tour, much like Bon Jovi, and about as interesting. The voting public has mooed to one another, and headed to the Powell pasture, to embrace a candidate with no political affiliation, no political beliefs, and no political experience. No wonder the public loves him; they know nothing about him. The Chatter was waiting for him to tell Barbara Walters, "My name's Colin Powell. People call me Colin Powell." Or even better, "Stupid is as stupid does, Barbara. " Now we turn to the man who has become a caricature of himself, Deion "Prime Time" Sanders. It seems that he will join the Dallas Cowboys after his stint with baseball's San Francisco Giants is over, and he undergoes ankle surgery. The president of Chatterheads, International, who is also a Dallas Cowboy worshipper, will tell you that this is nothing more than sour grapes, because the Cincinnati Bengals, the official professional football team of the Chatter, are too cheap to buy one of Deion's chains, let alone Deion. Trust me, the grapes aren't sour just yet. Maybe it's old age, but the Chatter is becoming increasingly disillusioned with sports. It does not seem right that the richest teams continue to buy the best players . That's as much sport as hunting deer with rocket launchers. Be that as it may, Deion is a Cowboy, which means the whole season will be the two games in which the 49ers play the Cowboys. Big thrill, huh? How does this sound: "Powell and Prime: If we're gonna get suckered, let's go big time!" Bumper sticker will be available by the '96 campaign. That' .; all for now. We'll chat again next week. • • • • • • ~ .: '1 tbsp. vegetable oil ~~~~~~ : 1 (12 oz.) jarof Thick-n-Chunky Salsa : In large skillet over medium-high heat, brown : ,chicken in hot oil drain fat.

Mere M01tals ar·e Eddie Appnel, providing the tl10ught- provokingvocals;PatrickFlynn, the veteran on lead guitar·; William ''Mofo" Lieback, beating the skins; and Mark ''Zippy'' Kiesinger, laying the backseat on the bass.

When Pat was asked what type of music the band played, he replied ''Because each of us listens to a wide range of music, Mere Mortals --look forward to a "grinning" future. elements of jazz, Latin, reggae; funk, pop and even country are clearly evidentin ourm usic, creating somewhat of a musical melting pot, which is constantly evolving. ''Pat was also asked why he chooses to say in college. He said, "One of my goals is to rec;:!ive a college degree." In the summer of 1992, Mere Mortals releaseq their first album t1tled, "In Search of Simple Things" selling in excess of 2000 copies,receiving acriticalacclaim, and a certificate of achievement from Billboard Magazine for the song, "Cold (Still Life)."

As luck would have it, their car breaks down in asmall Nebraska town where no one seems to notice that they are drag queens. This small factor enables the threesome to wave their magic wands and bling the dead town to life. Although To Wong Foo is short on plot, it more than makes up for it in laughs. Snipes arid Swayze are terrific and their dialogue is delivered with precision and excellent timing. Leguizamo is hilariously believable as Chi Chi, who wants to become a full t1edged drag queen in the worst way. Unfortunately, in avague subplot, the incomparable Stockard Channing is was_ted as Carol Ann, the abused wife. This issue could have been treated in a more se1ious manner and not left to look like filler. Though Wong Foo has its faults, director BeebanKidronsuccessfully jumps two hurdles. First, she proves that'all films dealing with the same subject matter are not the same film. This film has repeatedly been compared to last year's Priscilla. Queen ofthe Desen. Second, she effectively deals with the' 'fish out of water" cliche, which usually comes into play in films dealing with this subject matter. Snipes, Swayze, and Leguizamo may find the road to drag queen stardom a bumpy one, but, alas, one that is well worth taking. -The Writing Center, located in_ COB 015, is now open.

The Lady impressive results. The Lady C olonels posted a convincing win over St. Lawrence College on Saturday by a 3-1 tally. On Sunday, the team lost to William Smith College in overtime, 2- 1. The margin of Saturday's victory may establish Wilkes as a force to be dealt with in Division III field hockey. St. Lawrence is regarded as a top team, and it was Wilkes which dealt them their first loss of the season. "We played a very high level of national caliber teams," Coach Addy Malatesta commented. The scheduling of both teams was "for ranking purposes, and so that committee members could see our performance. We're pleased with everyone's play." St. Lawrence led 1-0 at the half, but the Lady Colonels would score three goals in a span of thirty-five minutes into the second half. Toe game was tied by All-American forward scored off of a Theresa Havel assist. Freshman Pam Truszkowski starte·d in goal for Wilkes and turned in a great performance. Neither team scored from the 29:32 mark in the second period until 6: 17 , "We played a very high leveJ of national caliber teams'~ Colonels scored their third and final goal one minute later. At 10: 13, Sue Richardson scored with Theresa Havel earning an assist. Tracy Engle's perform_ance in goal was a key contribution to the win. She shut out St. Lawrence in the second half, and collected 14 saves in goal. Last year, the Lady Colonels lost to St. Lawrence by a score of 3-0. Sunday's game was 2-1 overtime loss to William Smith. Again, the Lady Colonels trailed at halftime, but with 29:32 remaining, Tonya Massenheimer remained in overtime, when the action was 7-on-7 . William Smith College scored the game winner for a 2-1 victory. William Smith had won the national title two years arid plays at a very high level.

Student Government was forced to call off the traditional homecoming bonfire at Ralston Field and move the Thursday activities to the greenway between Stark Leaming Center and the new classroom/office building. "In order to have a fire, you have to have water to put it out," said Mark 1Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs. Governor Tom Ridge declared a drought emergency on Wednesday, September 20 in 32 eastern and north central counties - including Luzerne county. A drought emergency al- lows local water suppliers to request permission from the state to ration water to their . customers. It is the most serious measure the state can impose in a drought situation. The Edwardsville Fire Depa1tment notified the university, informing Wilkes that the use . of water to extinguish a bonfire would be considered a waste of water in a drought emergency. A drought emergency is designed to reduce water consumption by at least 15 percent.

One night, About 1:30 am on Wednesday, September 13, junior Marissa Zamb1ia was getting ready to go to bed. She brushed he1_- teeth, washed her face and changed into her pajamas. She did this as she would on any given night. Yet, to her surprise, this night will be one she will not forget. As Zambria walked out of herWallerN01th bathroom, she noticed something different. She saw a man observing her from the d01m' spatio. Her first reaction was to call Wilkes Security. According to Zambria, security was there almost instantaneously, but the man fled before security an-ived. After this initial sighting of the "Peeping Tom," campus security and Wilkes-Ban-e Police scheduled a series of stakeouts in order to catch him. "We staked-out Waller Nonh for three evenings," said Gerald Cookus, Wilkes Chief of Security, "and on the third night we caught the suspect." The suspect is a WilkesBarre man in his early thirties. Wilkes Security and city police will not release any information about the suspect, because as of now, no crime has been charged. The man was released on his own recognizance while• Wilkes-Ban-e Police investigate into the case. "The decision to press charges will take place sometime next week," Cookus says. This means that the suspect is still out on the streets. "it does not make me feel safe knowing that my hall is Please see "Peeping Tom" on page 2. volved in homecomeing acpools .

Students from IABC, the International Association of Business Communicators, will give guided tours of the recently remodeled Capin Hall and the new, 5,500 square foot, Thomas _P.Shelbourne Television Center. There will be no charge for the TGIF and the entire university community is invited. Kalen Churche r, junio r Communications major and IABC President, strongly encourages students to attend the TGIF because it, "will provide opportunities to network with alumni and gain contacts for fu ture internships and protessional employment." Capin Hall was extensively remodeled during 1994 to include new faculty offices and classrooms. Over 250 graduates of the Communications Department have been invited. Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall,. associate professor of Communications, who is also coordinating the 10th anniversary events said "The department will look different to those who graduated before the renovation. There are two new classrooms in Cap in and we' re becoming high-tech . Everyone in the building is now taking advan- anniversary duri1J£ n~ Weekend, Octo1995.

Faculty and students are especially proud of the new television facilities, which were completed this fall. The Thomas P. Shelbourne Television S.tudio is located on the lower level of the Stark Learni ng Center, next to room 1. There are two full y equipped television studios, one fo r ac ademic instruction and an other for public access television. The television studio was made possible by -a generous gift of the widow of Thomas P. Shelbourne. Mr. Shelbourne was a pioneer of broadcasting in this area. The Kinney bru nch-roast was the brainchild of several students who are trying to raise $10,000 to endow a Communications Department scholarship. Kalen Churcher, Mike Zeto, and Jim Isenberg came up with the idea last year. Mike Zeto, a senior communications major, who was involved with the project from the beginning explained, "We wanted to tie the scholarship together with the tenth anniversary celebration by contacting alumni." The theme of our festivities is, We Want You To See Us Now. Dr. Elmes-Crahall said, "We are extremely proud of our department. our students, and alumni. This is a celebration and a reason for everyone to have a good time, perhaps at Brad Kinney's ex pense, but he is taking it in good spirits. Besides, he will be given re buttal time for all that the rest of us say dmi ng the ro as t." In addition to the brunch, Dr. Kinney ' s students and friends are already signing up to "roast" him with funny stories. Anyone who would like to roast Dr. Kinney will have two minutes in which to do so for a tee of $10. Eac h successive two minute interval will cost an additional $10. Attendees are invited to bring pictures, video and other memorabilia highlighting Dr. Kinney ' s 22 years of coaching and teaching excellence at Wilkes. CmTentstudents, or classes, should not be nervous or apprehensive about "roasting" Dr. Kinney. Donna O'Toole Sedor; 1985 Communications graduate and one of the most successful Wilkes Speech/Debate Team members, urges students to tell their favorite Dr. Kinney story. "From his unique rhetorical style, which is a combination of southern preacher, used car salesman , and storyteller extraordinaire, to his seethe world-on-$10-or-lessspeech/debate-road tri ps, Brad °Kinney has been an inspiration to me and co untless other alums", said O ' Toole Sedor. Since this is a very good cause, she also feels "there is no better way to ho nor D r. Kinney's work, recognize how he has helped us over the years, and return the favor for all the countless stories he has told about us, than by participating in this brunch." The cost of the brunch is $20 per person and advanced reservations are required.

Walking down South River Street, you don't just see a few simple buildings made of brick, but a huge century gap in the architecture of the buildings that shows how far Wilkes has come. If you look past Stark Learning Center at just the right spot, you ' ll catch a glimpse of grass , green grass, that extends to the newly occupied classroom building. With this in mind, take a few steps further. There you ' ll find the John Wilkes statue, which represents Wilkes University as a whole. Diagonal to the statue is the meticulously kept property of- Fenner, which is cmTentl y being renovated to accommodate the "Fenner quadrangle," the official name the property will be called once completed. With all these changes being made to the campus landscape, you might wonder what else Wilkes has time for. Aside from the external beautifications that we have begun to embark upon, Wilkes also has a very impressive infrastructure tha.tmake us stand out as a small university. While we pride ourselves on the fact that we have a number of award-winning athletic teams, we can also pat ourselves on the back for the academics our school has to offer. As the Communications Department celebrates its 10 year anniversary this coming October, the School of Science and ~ngineering does research every day to advance themselves as a stand-out academic program on the educational map. Look at the number of students who obtain prestigious internships. With their foot in the door, they are sure to find a number of jobs in their field. Even though academics plays a major role in determining how good a college Wilkes is or has become, the social aspect of our school also needs to be_recognized. Homecoming, Win_ter Weekend and the Block Party are only some of the most enjoyable social events offered at Wilkes. World-renown entertainers like Adam Sandler, Live and Chicago pe1form at Wilkes yearly and each semester a new "life experience" lecture is given by various speakers. Like every other school, Wilkes has its share of disadvantages, but as a whole, there is no doubt that we should be proud of Wilkes University and all it has to offer.

Along with teaching and being an Assistant to Dean Gi amarti no , he currently consults with small businesses on their strategic planning of marketing programs. In the field of Psychology, Dr. Frank Brennan feels that the classroom cannot be completely separate and is something that must interconnect with his outside research. Dr. Brennan, an assistant professor in his second year at Wilkes, is involved in original research outside of the classroom. Recently, he was recognized for research that involved testing a relatively new drug that blocks the increase-in cholesterol due to stress. Brennan feels · that it is his curiosity, enthusiasm, and interest in the material he studies that compels him to be active both in and out of the classroom. He believes that the research he does outside the classroom has benefited what he can bring to the students in the classroom because by attending confe_rences, he can acquire knowledge that is not in the textbook. Since findings in ...J psychology are ever changing. he may find that something that is in the textbook is no longer true and can report updated material to the students. "Research and scholarships allow me to pass on to the students , cutting edge knowledge in my field," said Brennan. These professors represent a small population of dedicated and talented Wilkes faculty who go beyond job expectation for the enrichment they bring from outside of the classroom. Professors who go beyond the classroom and present us with the "real world" situations, are preparing us for life after graduation bette~ than a textbook ever could. �~eptember 29 - ®ctober 5 29 jfribap '30 · ~aturbap • "Ciimson Tide" - •Football-Albright 7:30pm, CPA 1pm (H) • Last day for • Field Hockey- CeMock GRE regis- dar Crest 1pm (A) tration • Men's Soccer• Kids Night Out Lebanon 1pm (A) 5:30pm, Marts •VolleyballCenter -Albright 1pm (A) •Women's Tennis, Lebanon Valley 1pm (A) •Women's SoccerFDU-Madison 2 l ~unbap •MockGRE-S-am .

Internet connections have been used by faculty and students in Wilkes University's Depa.it-· mentofCommunications for less than a ye.ai·. The combination of new reseai-ch technology and a classical field ofstudy had yielded acceptance of a faculty and student co-authored paper at a prestigious national convention. Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall, associate professor of communications and two of her students, Michael Butchko and Kathleen Schmucker, reseai·ched, debated, seai-ched the internet, and revised their paper, ''Refocusing the Locus of World Po;wer: The Clinton Administration' sDefini.rion ofVital U.S. Interests in the Post-Cold War Era" Last spring they submitted the paper to the political communication division of the Speech Communication Association for competitive review and recently were notified that their paper was accepted for presentation at the national SCA convention in San Antonio, Texas on November 18-21. Dr.JaneElmes-Crahall, who invited Butchko and Schmucker to work with her while they were enrolled in, her rhetorical c1iticism class, says it is rare for undergraduate-faculty papers to be accepted at many scholai·ly meetings. -'We submitted our proposal for blind review so that the re-viewers would not know who authored the proposal. Most "students papers" ai·e actually wiittenbygraduatestudents. We ai-e pleased with the recognition of our work," said Dr. ElmesCrahall. Michael Butchko, a senior from _Swoyersville, who is maj01ing in Political Science with a minor in Communications, knows co-autl10.1ingtlus1-eseai·chcouldhelp him get into a top graduate program. "Combining rhet01ic and politics is sometl1ing I hope· to do in graduate school, and tlus paper gave me tl1e 1-eseai·ch experience I wanted," said Butchko. Dr. Elmes-Crahall says she was looking for a chance to experiment witl1 the new computer system that was installed with tl1e renovation of Capin Hall, wluch houses the Communications Depaitment. ''In rhet01ical criticism one of the biggest challenges is locating tl1e texts and ve1ifying that the text is actually what the speaker said," explained Dr. Elmes-Crahall, who is an active scholai· in political rheto1ic.

Three men stood on a couch, shouted, and raised their hands in victory . Some shook their heads in disgust. Money changed hands around the lobby as people paid off their bets.

The verdict having been read, about half the people in Stark Lobby packed up their books and bags and left, their curiosity finally satisfied. They could go on with their live as usual. At 1:40 pm CBS news announced that Sif!1 pson had been released from jail. Qnly about 10 peo ple left in Stark Lobby listened.

Many students also felt he did commit the crime, but there was enough reasonabk doubt kft by the trial to · warrant an acquittal. "I was relieved because you can't c:onvict someone when there are so many questions," said sophomore Emily Mika,"But I feel bad for the victim's families ." · �~age 2 tEbe ~eacon <!F>ctober 5, 1995 WIikes eyes ''one-card system'' By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Beacon News Editor Workers are now filling in holes left after fiber optic .. cables were installed on campus over the past few weeks, . The university is installing the fiber optic cables to provide its buildings with cable television, telephone service, long-distance telephone service as well various computer datalinks. Fiber optic cables allow for the transmission of information by light impulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Along with the afforementioned functions, the fiber optic cables will allow Wilkes to develop what university officials refer to as a "one-card system" for students on campus. The "one-card system" will not only require students to use . their Wilkes identification cards in all current capacities, such as the cafeteria, library, S.U .B. and campus parking lots, but' students will also need to use their identification cards to enterdor. m\tories and other facilities at Wilkes. "We are heading that way slowly, but surely," said Paul O'Hop, vice president for business affairs and auxilliary enterprises. O'Hop said he believes this will cut down on vandalism in dormitories. He said if a student's identification number is in the computer as having been the last one to open a door, he is less likely to prop the door open so other student could come in. "The greatest focus is uopn the enhancement of security," O'Hop said. He said identifcation cards will also eventually alow students to use vending machines and photocopying machines on campus without depositing cash. He said within the academic year, all campus buildings will be serviced with fiber optic cables with the exception of Barre Hall and McClintock Hall. To provide these building with the service, the university would be required to run the fiber optic cables onto utility poles. Because Wilkes does not own the properties bordering Barre and McClintock Halls, they would not be able to run the cables underground as they have done and plan to do with the rest of campus.

If so, you'll be happy to know that according to The Weather Channel there is much mo~e to come in the next few days. With the remn;nts of tropical storm Opal travelling up the coast, the rain should raise the water table, thereby reducing the severity of the drought. So you ask, why is this important and why should I care? Well, if you were a big supporter of the traditj.onal Homeco~ng bonfire, you would definitely care because this year's.bonfire was cancelled due to the drought emergency. With the water supply so low, Student Government, who sponsors the annual Thursday night bonfire , was informed by the Edwardsville fire department that they would not provide them with the water supply needed to put out the fire , if S .G. did in fac t hold the festivities. And with no other choice , S.G. did away with the bonfire. Now here is where you Homecoming buffs should get excited. Instead of totally eliminating the plans for Thursday, O~tober 12, S.G. has been willing to shift plans around ·a little bit and implement a Pep Rally/Barbecue affair. No, this may not sound exciting yet, but what I didn ' t mention was all the fun you'll miss if you don't attend. Along with the announcement of Homecoming King and Queen nominations and tunes from the Wilkes University pep band, S.G. is providing hotdogs and hamburgers free of charge to everyone. If that's not enough, you should join the banner contest to be jL1dged that night and win a prize of up to $100. Announced the following day during halftime of the football game, prizes of $100, $7 5, $50 will be given out to the three best banners. So ... are you still complaining about the elimination of the bonfire, because obviously there is no reason to-keep whining . And, if you happen to be one of those people w ho don ' t care one way or the other, than at least show some school spirit and come out for the festivities at 9pm Thursday niglit.

You know it can't be too serious if the "woo"s are included. Originally, the Chatter was going to speak of sports and nothing more. Instead, another issue surfaces and blocks out the ray of brightness like an eclipse, but it cannot be ignored. · O.J. is not guilty. This is no longer opi~jon. A jury of twelve persons decided on Monday that Simpson was not guilty, and they shared this news with the world the next day. Now, it is left to the ages to decide if our whereabouts at the time of the decision will be forever burned into our memories, like_the_Challenger explosion in 1986. For my part, I was sitting on the third floor of Chase Hall with Cindy, Tammy, and Matt; all of were fixated on the screen before us. My initial reaction was one of relief that the proceedings were complete, as no appeals need to be filed. The Chatter was also content with one message: that racist police in a backwards city can no longer treat dissimilar races as guilty first, and innocent later. As for the family of the victims, especially Ron Goldman's fa ther: Sir, if ever it is revealed that someone else committed the crime, yo u have a great deal of apo logizing to do for your tira~es. In the end, however, fo r all of us who tried to distance ourselves, we were compelled to watch this sickening play. And now the curtain has closed. In much happier news, the Chatter would like to focus like a laser beam upon the world of spons. It's that wonderful time, dear reader, when football is hitting its stride as baseball enters the postseason, and all of this happening when hockey is ready to begin. In this busy spirit the Chatter will rapidly touch on a multitude of topics for your reading pleasure. Sports Issue 1: The Mariners-Angels one game playoff on Monday. Baseball has returned with a vengeance, all you pessimists, and you are missing a thrilling October. In an Indians-Dodgers World Series, the Chatter likes Cleveland in six. A brief caveat: beware the Yankees of October, for they are always dangerous. Sports Issue 2: Hey, did Penn State score yet? Or can Notre Dame stop a biddy league football team ? What a glorious autumn it is, when the two most obnoxious groups of fans may be quieted so that the truly big boys of college football (Nebraska, Florida State, USC, Ohio St., Colorado, and Michigan)° can take center stage. As for Notre Dame and PSU, they will be reduced to bragging about -their legendary programs, their patsie-laden schedules, and their wonderful recruiting classes which never pan out. But there ' s always next year, right? Since you asked about this year, both Colorado and Ohio State will finish undefeated, with the Buffaloes winning the national title. And because this column does take requests, there will be a mention of Colorado every week for the rest of this semester. We got to keep the 'Heads · happy, 'cause that's what they dig the most. Enough Pulp Fiction dialogue. Both time and space are in demand, so we'll have to wrap it up. But keep those suggestions coming, even if you're too incensed to share it. Remember, the opinions expressed in this column are hardly ever accurate, and should always be taken with a mineful of salt. Translation: lighten up. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week: �Q&ctober 5, 1995 _ mbe TSeacon . t)age 4 ®cotber 6-12 ............ , .............•.............................. ...................................... . - .f'ribap 6 : ~aturbap 7-: ~unbap 8 : :fflonbap 9 : ~uesbap 10 : Webnesbap 11: ~bursbap12 • • • • • ... •·• ....... •• .................................................................................... . • • • • .• .• .• ,.• .• .• ~ • •" Batman : •Football-Juniata,: Forever" : 1:30pm (A) : 7:30pm, CPA • •Volleyball• • • •Lastdayto : BaptistBible, : buyHomecom-: 11:00am(A) : ingtickets : •Men's Soccer- : : Susquehanna, : : 12:30pm (A) : : •Field Hockey- : : Del.

Cronauer Showgirls Riding on the coattails of Basic Instinct, scn;enwliter Joe Eszterhas and dil-ector Paul Verhoeven b1ing us their- latest collaboration - Showgirls. This movie mess starts on the side of a busy highway where Nomi Malone flags down a 1ide from a guy who later takes off with her luggage. In the midst of her panic, she meets Molly, who offers her a place to live until she can find a job. Nomi finds emptoyment at a low-class stiip club, taking customer se1vice too far under her sleazy employers' orders. Her desil-e to be a dancer leads her to an audition for a chorus line spot in a tasteless production at a ritzy Vegas hotel. After being humiliated by the sexist and perve1ted dii-ector, she gets the job. For the duration of the film, Nomi is taken advantage of by eve1yone except Molly, who remains a tiue tiiend. Quite frankly, Molly, who gets brutally gang raped in a prolonged scene car·elessly thrown in, is the only likable character in the film, 1l1e argument can be made howeve, that the subject matter milrnrs the reality of what goes on in these types of shows. - ::ihowgais is 130 minutes or rnn-ot-the-mill cliche dialogue, forgettable acting and sloppy, ii-responsible writing and directing. The wiiter/director team proves, as they did in Basic Instinct, that with plenty of hype and absolutely no talent, there is still money to be made in Hollywood. Showgirls is rated NC-17 for excessive adult language, violence, nudity, explicit fondling and one prolonged brutalrnpe scene. Do yow-self a favor. Avoid this film. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • A Full Line Of Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Care _ Products -- - • • • • • • • • • • • ..• We Are Proud To Offer You Full Service In Hair And Nail Care.

The Wilkes University field hockey team has won six consec utive games, including Tuesday' s 1-0 overtime win over visiting Susquehanna. The squad also has a streak of six consecutive shutouts with the streak beginning after the September 17th overtime loss to William Smith. Juniata, King's, Scranton, FDU- Madison, Cedar Crest, and Susqueha~na all , failed to score against Wilkes, w ·th the Lady Colonels netting 17. goals over the streak. The season had a shaky be. ginning, with the team falling to Lebanon Valley. Since their opening game loss, the Colonels have won nine of ten, earning an overall record of 9 - 2. Head coach Addy Malatesta attributes the team's success to "team hockey, which allows individual talent to show through." The streak is no f1uke, she believes, because "we've played extremely well." Pollsters seem to agree, and they've ranked the team 16th in the nation in NCAA Division III field hc,ckey. Within their eastern region, the squad is ranked fourth behind William Smith, Cortland, and Ithaca. • The shutout streak began quietly enough, with Sue Richardson ' s goal beating Juniata 1-0 on September 19th. In the next four games over a span of two weeks, the Lady Colonels offense was unstoppable. Five players contributed multiple goals · during the streak: Kim Kaskel with five, Sue Richardson with four, Steph Hastings with three, and Theresa Havel and Tonya Masenheimer with two goals. Acompleteteamalsohasastellar defense, and this squad's · defense is the reason for the scoreless streak. The goaltending duties have been shared between Tracy Engle and Pan Truszkowski, with both seeing equal playing time during the streak. Engle suffered an injury at the end of the St. Lawrence game, and Truszkowski became the starter. Engle has returned in goal, but Truszkowski is ready if needed. Coach Malatesta like the luxury of two skilled keepers. "Each brings a type of talent to this team," she said, and ~he relationship between the two is "team-oriented." In this last week alone, the Lady Colonels are 3 - 0. Last ~hursday the team traveled to Lackawanna County Stadium to play the University of S~ranton Royals. Wilkes adjusted to the artificial tmf well, asSueRichardsonassistedKim Kaskel twice, and then scored an unassisted goal for a 3 - 0 win.

By TONI ODEN Assisranr Ne ws Editor If you were to ask students on the Wilkes University campus what the Alumni Association was, some would give you a blank stare or a shrug. According to - Colleen Gallagher, ' 81 , president of the Alumni Association, this is a problem that needs to be fixed. She wants students to become involved with the association before they graduate by using it for such services as career advise and networking. ''The student body should always be aware of their doings, and get involved with them," said Gallagher. On this note, she would like to invite students to mix with the alumni at the "Return to the Hill Ho~ecoming Celebration" on Saturday, October 14 at 11 am at the Munson Field House , overlooking Ralston Field. In general, the Alumni Association is looking to ~ngage students in action and support groups. "We are trying to come up with ideas that will generate positive interaction with the student body and the Alumni Association ," said Anthony Shipula, ' 78, Director of Alumni at Wilkes University. Over the past few years, the Alumni Association has been raising funds to help support activities of the association and also provide a source to help suppo11 other groups and causes on campus. This past spring the as·sociation had its initial fundraising eff011 to endow a scholarship fund which will benefit Wilkes students who are children of alumni. Already this semester, the Alumni Association has donated money to the Student Government to pay for the disc . jockey at the Homecoming Dance. At this year's Club Day festivities, a check was presented to Amy Mazur to supportcommunity service efforts. Also, the Alumni Association handed out key chains with ID holders to members of the student body. Right now the Alumni Association is focusin[! on devel, 'oping a StudenU Alumni Association. This.type of organization js already present on many other college and university campuses. Although, here at .Wilkes the plan is not yet final .:ized.

Was it a visit to the campus, a conversation with a professor, or a copy of the University's viewbook? Remember back to your senior year in high school and the dozens of brochures you received from colleges w·anting yo u Lo be part of its freshman class . Each sc hool had something different to offer, but so mething about Wilkes appealed to yo u. Thi s yea r Wilkes University hired Williams Crockett, an enrollme nt man,a gement consulting finn from Denver, Colorado to assist in its re' c ruitment and retention project. One of the maj or goals of the project is to redesign all coITespondence with potential students. This includes letters, viewbooks, school brochures, and the application for admission. . Stephanie Geyer, Assistant . Director of University Relalions is one of the administrators charged with managing this project and is busy working , developing new ways of attracti~g students to attend Wilkes. ' This project is like a science that requires a lot of re search and communication with potential students ," Geye r said. " Working with Williams Crockett we can be better recruit st ud ents to enroll at Wilkes." One of the mos t noticeable change s jn rec ruitment mate- · rial is the °'ew viewbook that high school students receive. The new viewbook' s style is quite different from previous ones. "The viewbook contains bold colors and is written from t_he students' perspective, because research shows that this is ·w hat appeal to them," Geyer said. To develop the new publication, the university needed to research what aspects of a university appeal most to prospective students. It conducted focus groups with high sc hool st ude nts to figure out what they are looking for in a college and surveyed c urrent Wilkes students to determine the university 's st rength s and weaknesses. With all of the data collec te d from th e research , Wilkes has designed a vibrant and informative recruiting materials aimed at in- creasing enrollment, Geyer said. Students at Wilkes seem to agree. "The new viewbook looks great," says Sean Gorman , senior. "It should attract new students, because it is not as stuffy as previous ones." Besides the new viewbook, the university has developed two other brochures to attract new students. Each brochure carries the same look and conversational writing style. The two new brochures are called the "search piece" for high school juniors and the "on the road piece," which will be distributed at college fairs and other recruitin!:!... functi ons., The enrollment manag ement system does not only include the new recruiting material , bu also the re-development of the uni ve rsity's finan cial aid process, admission pro- cedures, and· customer service appeal. This initiative is an outcome of decreased enrollment of traditional students in the last two years. Wilkes University administrators are working on the project with the help of faculty, staff personnel and alumni. Students are also taking a hand on roll in spreading the word about Wilkes University and what it has to offer. Studen ts are instrumental in recriuiting through campus tours. Wilkes students will be used to keep in touch by phone with prospective students, answering any questions the hi gh sc hool s tud e nts m ay have. Wilkes Students can also provide insight into campus lite and the Wilkes Community that traditional methods ofrecruitin g fa il to provide.

While some alumni spend their return to Wilkes at Hottle' s or "The Top of the Hill," reminiscing about the past, we, the students, also look forward to Homecoming weekend. It allows us to kick back after seven long weeks of tests and assignments and enjoy what alumni refer to as the good ol' days . But to us, students living each day as it comes, these are the good ol' days. As the song, "These Are the Days" implies, this year's Homecoming theme, we must remember that tom01Tow is here before we know it.. Instead of sitting in our dorm rooms moping about graduation fears and our past mistakes why not appreciate all we've got going for os now. Instead of won-ying about what the future will b1ing,why notlookforward totonigh_t' s pep rally/barbecue, tomon-ow night's din~er dance and Saturday' s football festivities. Our days to remember are now . Rather than complaining about the should~have' s, could-have' s and wouldhave' s, we should make this a weekend to remember. Homecoming is what YOU make it.

OPINIONS October 12, 1995 Letters to the Editor _The Joy Ride Its Monday after my night class and I am facing the same situation that I'm sure many of the Wilkes students face everyday. Wilkes Frustration. Those things about Wilkes that really, really annoy the hell out of us. So, since no one else has decided to write a letter to the editor this semester, I figured that I was fed up enough to do one myself. 1. Ever wonder how many times the gate to Evans Parking Lot will get broken off before the school decides that wood is not the best option? 2. Ever watch ABM during the day? At 4:29 pm, the ABM parking lot resembles the starting grid for the Indianapolis 500. "Gentlemen, start your engines." At 4:31 pm, you can hear a pin drop in the empty parking lot. Are we that bored that we have to clock watch? +3. Want to know why students don ' t participate in Homecoming act_ivities? Because the faculty decides that its OK to give me two midterms, and three homework assignments due the Monday after. 4. Are we ever going to finish the new building or-did we decide to leave it the way it looks now? 5. Although the campus is changing for the better, can anyone please tell me why we decided to rip up half the campus while students are in session instead of over the summer? . 6. Did the Yankees really lose or is it just my imagination? Sorry, wrong topic. 7. I am the only one that doesn ' t like Dan Dierdorf? Add somebody new to the Monday Night Football Team. I always like to end on a positive note. Congratulations to .all those selected for Homecoming King and Queen, good luck in the voting. Remember, tonight is the Pep Rally/BBQ. Be sure to come out and support Wilkes athletes and to kick off the Homecoming Weekend on the right foot. Only the students ' participation can make events like this a success. And rem_ember, you can ' t complain about it, if you don't want to make any effo11 to do anything about it. I used to be pretty, bui,ww I'm llOt. And laughed - but I don't allymore; And lf_)Ved to dance, but how do you danceWhen there's only Olle leg for the floor? Thanks for your time, Bill Pastewait Editor's notes: -Know when to say when. Have a good time this weekend but be safe.Don't drink and drive! Make your parents proud of you! The Beacon wants you on its staff. Earn a credit. Gain . experience. Call us at ext. 2962 or stop by at Hollenback Hall, 2nd floor. Now drinkillg and driving was not my concerll For liquor was not for me. ·But what was the harm ill a six pack with friends? The danger I could not see. Now gettillg drnnk is a stupid thing. But what harm in a little high, And a ride in a car with your friend and your peers? If it's wrong I don 't see why. We were driving too fast and I asked him to stop, but he laughed and his speech was slurred. And he said he was great at the wheel of a car Just as we entered the curve. We left the road at a terrible speed. With his vision too blurred to see. And dowll the block with a horrible roar. And, My God! There's a tree! The doctors were great and they saved my life. And I hate it because they did. For what good is life with a scarred up face. And only one leg, to a kid? I used to .be pretty, but now I'm not And I'm bitter as I can be. But not at the world, for it's not their ffJ.ult. I did this all to me. I don't want your pity, it's late for that But before you go to far. Reflect on the story you've heard from me. · Of a six pack, a kid and a car. R. TAYLOR, 1984 MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving PO.BOX 1001 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18703-1001 (717) 824-MADD•824-6833 �October 12, 1995 OPINIONS Page 7 j Idle chatter with Michael Butchko "Fate is setting up the chessboard, while death rolls out the dice; anyone for tennis,-M'ouldn't that be nice?" This week, we lead off with Cream, and an obscure song called "Anyone for Tennis." The diversion of sports momentarily distracted us this weekend, with teams men- . tioned as giants in last week's Chatter falling by the wayside. Colorado and Michigan were notable losers in college football, while the Yankees and Dodgers fell to defeat in the baseball playoffs. Maybe tennis, or sports, can be a little depressing. ,If this column were only about tennis, there would be no need for the first part of the song lyric. Instead, in ore serious issues furrow the brow, and they are so severe that 'the first person may be called into play. I have lived in the Wyoming Valley all of my life, and seen things which may be considered abnormal to outsiders. In this region of coal crackers, we have some pretty strange habits, from worrying about the river every time it rains to promising to build an arena andJhen changing out minds. One of the privileges about living here is that you may complain all you want about the people, the attitudes, and the lack of things-to do on the wee~ends. For all of its intricacies, it hasn' t been that bad of a place. Sure, we see the same people controlling our politi~al offices; but when I was born 21 years ago, you could still leave your back door unlocked at night. And som_etimes the top story on the new.s l.'.oncerns the amount of potholes on local streets; but at least you felt safe walking along these streets .. Until now. John-Erik Koslosky has the complete story of the shooting on South River street this past weekend. I won't trouble you with the details, but suffice it to say that the Valley is progressing. That's dght, we are .making progress. As metropolitan areas are ranked, we can now hope to reach our quota of homicides for the year. Maybe _ Wilkes-Barre always had these problems, and maybe it's just getting too close for comfo11. Maybe my memory of the way things used to be has become jaded. I _w ouldn't be surp1ised; this Valley tends to jade people very easily. But it never used to scare them. The newspaper is' larger this week because, as you probably already know, we are celebrating Homecoming. Alumni will be extremely impressed if they venture down River Street. Perhaps they'll wonder if Art majors here at Wilkes are responsible for the chalk markings on the sidewalks. Or maybe a Biology class took a filed trip and dissected something; at least that would explain the blood. · But I have a strange fe·eling that this incident will be_forgotten about in the pomp and circumstance of the weekend. And we will go about our merry way until it happens again . If we truly are following in the bloody shoe prints oflarger cities, then we haven't begun to murder each other. I don't think things at Wilkes will change until one of our student gets caught in a crossfire. I promise, I'll come back for the viewing, if it takes that long. What a Homecoming that would be. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. POT HOOKS You UP WITH AWHOLE NEW CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

Photo by Meghan La Vigna - Budget cuts may jeopardize.student aid ·• Proposed cuts in the federal budget call · for an overhaul of federal student aid ByJEFF ZAPOTOCZNY Beacon Staff Writer : College students may be in for a surprise when they apply for federal student aid in upcoming years. The sui-prise will be that there may be considerably less available, or in some cases, none at all. Members of the GOP-controlled House of Representatives and Senate have been discussing means of cutting the fede ral budget. One of the measures proposed methods is to cut back on the amount of federal aid for college students. Over six million students receive financial aid from the federal government, whether it be through the Stafford Loan Program or a Pell Grant. Currently, on the table are ideas such as moving the inter- Pell Grant eligibility wiped out est subsidy during the grace altogether. Another idea is to put a cap pe1iod on the Stafford Loan.

Rach e l Lohman , Wilkes Director of Financial Aid, is urging students to become pro-active and fight financial aid cuts by contacting their local representatives. It is her view that student involvement is Jhe only way to win the financial aid battle, and the only thing that has stood in the way of aid cuts in the past. �News Page 2 The Beacon October 19, 1995 , Students express concerns about crime off campus From "Crime'' on page 1 dents the shooting death of Frenchie Denise Guid roz was not acc idental and Guidroz was not caught in the crossfire of a gunfigh t.

National Collegiate Alcoh·oz Awareness Week. l • By TONI ODEN Assistant News Editor Few q m dispute the statement that alcohol is the most abused drug in today 's society. Not only is alcohol the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents in the United States, but it is also a major problem on college campuses across tire country. The week of October 15 to 21 has been deemed National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week . During this week, groups such as M.A.D.D. and S.A.D.D, as well as college clubs and o rganizations , present demonstrations and education programs on campuses across the United States to fa miliarize college students with the dangers of alcohol. In past years at Wilkes University, the resp·onsi bility for Alcohol Awareness Week activities during this time rested on the shoulders of the Student Government and various other campus organizations. With the start of this semester, however, the responsibility has shifted. As many of you have probably seen, a chapter of BACCHUS has opened here at Wilkes University. It's not really something new, just the resu1Tection of an old organization that had been forgotten. The group Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students - (BACCHUS) is composed of a core of students that are genuinely concerned about alcohol use and abuse among college students. "The group 's main :objecrive is to promote responsible drinking. These people (BACCHUS members) understand that most college students drink, c;1nd they want to avoi d tragedies associated with overdrinking," said Mark Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs for Student Development. Financial resources for BACCHUS events are compiled from fines collected from students for violating the Wilkes alcohol policy. Over the last few years, there were many programs set up during Alcohol Awareness Week. However, now they are focusing on a monthly basis, instead of just one week, with a constant reminder of the problems associated with alcohol. On October 15, gue§t speaker Calvin L. Dymond held a lecture titled "Sex, Booze, and Violencei> which discussed issues related to students and drinking. On October 16, a Murder Mystery was held in Rumours to show students that they can have fun without alcohol being _present. And, on October 17 , students could sample non-alcoholic beer at the cafeteria and pick up info rmation on bl ood-alc ohol lev- ; els. Presentl y, MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and BACCHUS are worki ng together to fo1m an intercollegiate program, including all local colleges, to showcase the alc ohol problem and raise everyone's awareness. Future events associated with alcohol awareness are already being planned. During Hunger and Homelessness Week, aspeakerhasbeenscheduled to r~late how alcohol and homeles sness are linked together. Also, for AIDS Awareness Week, a speaker will address how alcohol plays a role in the AIDS problem in this ·.

Well, as of today, I take it all back. On October ,17, after attending the Off Campus Council meeting, I was informed by a number of city officials that my apartment building was condemned and that my roommates and I would be immediately evicted. To say the least, I was not a happy camper. ' After going home and gent!)~ trying to break th~ news to my roommates , let's just say that things got a little hectic . Within one hour, Channel 16 news was at our apartment interv iewing the soon-to-be homeless , friends were calling every' five minutes and all the while , we just sat in a state of _ numbness, hoping this was aH a very bad dream. With all the commotion, \\ e were soon confronted by our landlords and once again had to explain all the rumours that were floating about. To our relief, they allowep us to move from our apartment without any problems. Bµt our complications did not end there. If vou've ever seen how much stuff one woman has, mul~iply that by fi,,e, and believe me, there was a Jot of stuff,to move. · Hour by hour, we packed up the U-Haul, so kindly donated by Off Campus Council, and slowly but surely ·moved everything into Ross Hall. With the help of Dean Mark Allen and Darren Hack, we are able to store our _belongings in Ross until November 1, when we hope to move into a new apartment. Although right now , -we're all a bit frustrated because ·we're randomly scattered around the campus, on behalf of my roommates, I would like to thank those who've been so"supportive. _From our friends, to teachers, to Wilkes administration, thank you for doing everything you could to accorpodate . us at this time, And for those of you who plan to move off-campus, before· you do, meet your landlord, get the building inspected and do whatever you can to prevent this from tiappening to you.

The pundits agree: the Colonels have aITived! Based upon their 25-5 season and a trip to the NCAA Division III round of eight last year, the Wilkes University men ' s basketball team is ranked in the top ten by many national publications. The team returns all five starters from last year's team. The widel . res ected Street Smith's College/Prep Basketball ranks the Colonels numberoneinDivisionlll.They cite the fact that Wilkes outrebounded opponents by an average of nine per game and had remarkable balance in scoring. The- magazine cites three seniors as keys to the team: Matt LaBuda, ·Jason Turner , and Chris Parker. Turner is an honorable mention for All-American status. Other magazines agree thaf the Colonels will be a force in Division III basketball. The Columbus Multi-Media Poll ranks teams on a power rating system whichconsidersanumber of factors, and they have ranked the team number one in I the nation. Dick Vitale's Basketball Magazine·has the Colonelsrankedthirdbehindlllinois Wesleya n and Rowan, but in its team-by-team analysis considers Wilkes a serious contender for top ranking. Both the Division III News and Lindy 's Bas ketball Annual rank the Colonels fourth in the nation, and the Sporting News puts the team at fifth in the country. The Street & Smith's ColLege/Prep Basketball ranking is extremely impressive because the magazine is c0r ~idered by many to be the definitive periodical for pre-season analysis.

Men' s basketball head coach Jerry Rick rode has mixed emotions about the presea·s on laurels. "They [the rankings] are good for the university, and nice for the team in that the guys are getting respect. But rankings don't really mean anything.

The university had agreed to purchase the properties from Thom Greco. Paul O' Hop , vice president of Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises said the area was re-zoned by Wilkes-Barre officials in order for Greco to construct a parking lot. O' Hop said the university agreed to purchase the properties under the provision Greco See "Barnum" on page2 Wilkes students are concerned now more than ever with .crime on and around campus. A recent murder has put crime prevention back on the agenda of student organizations Wilkes administrators, campus security and WilkesBarre police. _ Although Wilkes boasts one of the lowest on-campus crime rates among institutions in Northeastern Pennsylvania, its campus is located in a section ofWilkes-BatTe, a city where crime has been on the rise for the past several years. The~ have been eight drugrelated murders with city limits since 1992. Two of those have occutTedjust outside the Wilkes campus. Wilkes security does not have jurisdiction in areas offcampus, making it difficult for the university to offer any security to students once they are off-campus. Students residing off-campus must report any crime occun-ing on and around their apartments to the Wilkes-Ban-e police department. According to the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act report for the 1994 academic year, there were two aggravated assaults, one forcible sex offen se, one_ robbery, and seven burglaries on campus. "We've extended a great deal of time, energy and resources on enhancing security," said Paul O' Hop, vice president fo r Business Affai rs and Auxiliary Enterprises. O' Hop said the university has been working with city officials and the police department to fu rther enhance security fo r students living off campus. He said students should try to cooperate with city police by reporting any crimes or unusual occutTences. "Students have to make as much of an effort to enhance security as anyone," O'Hop said . O' Hop said the university is taking several measures to enhance on-campus security, including new lighting and the purchase of a seven-passenger tram car to transport students across campus at night. He said lights similar to those recently installed outside the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center will be installed at several other places on campus within the next month .

After seeing a neighborhood wonum drive herself and her baby into the Delaware River, off a dock two blocks from my house, I was fac ed with a major conflict of interest. I watched in amazement while hundreds of Florence, NJ residents stood semicircled around the yellow police tape. I wo_n dered what drew us to this horrifying scene. While my psychological intuition took over, empathetic questions immediately filled my head. Ho w could she? Was she suicidal ? !Wonder what happened to push her this far ? As my mother stopped to ask 20 ques_tions from everyone she saw, I found myself right t~ere beside her }¼anting to know more. Was it curiosity that brought me to the dock or my sensitivity for respecting life. I finally gained perspective when I saw the Channel 6 Action News camera. Understanding the job of a journalist, I was not shocked by their pres~nce. What did shock me, well actually infuriated me, was when one woman noticed the cameras and became . excited that she would be on the 11 o_'clock news._Disgust was written all over my face. To think that two people .lay in critical condition, and all this woman could think about was seeing herself on the television. My mother could tell that I was extremely perturbed by the incident and tried to explain to me that this is not a pe1fect world we live in. "Some people just aren't ve1y considerate, ." she said. I.immediately stopped thinking as a journalist or a psychologist. At that moment I honestly didn't know what to think. I was 11pset at myselffor being selfish in my own life, upset at the }voman obsessed with being on television and most of all upset at all the people who believe suicide is the answer~ to their problems. What's wrong with our society these days? It's sad to think that people are beginning to accept the negativity of this world, instead of promoting all the positives. Look around you. Is,i 't there anything you can be thankful for? It might take a long, hard look, but we all have something. .

We encourage your participation in this curricular development. " All I know is the way that I feel, whenever you're around ; you've got a way ofliftin' me up, instead ofbringin ' me down." What would a semester of the Chatter be without a dose of Fleetwood Mac ? Like a day without sunshine? Like a World Series without protesters? No, the Mac is employed in order to discuss a topic which has been on this columnist's mind lately. If you walk around campus with your head up, you tend to notice the scowls of the people walking toward you. I first thought it might have been a personal thing, when you take in account at whom they were looking. But everyone around here seems a little angry, present company included. Why is happiness so fleeting? · "Happiness" is defined by Webster's College Dictionary as, " good fortune; contentment; pleasure; joy." It seems that the pressure of college life has burned some of us out. Those of us who plan to graduate in May may not have been too thrilled when the master schedules come out, and certain classes we need conflict with others. But it doesn ' t seem to be limited to Wilkes. Pick up a newspaper, or for you lazy Chatterheads, turn on the television. The entire nation is reminiscent of Michael Douglas in "Falling Down:" one step away from climbing a tower with a rifle, or on such a short string that the slightest incident could set them off. Check out our Editor-in Chief's Editorial this week, and wonder if the world we live in makes sense. There's always a reason for this co)umn, probably because I'm a big fan of cause-and-effect reasoning. The problem that some of us seem to be having is that our world beats us down, and the way we deal with it says a great deal about us . When El Presidente and the Zenmaster of the Chatter seek to remove the shackles of this problematic world, the best means is a noholds-barred bitch session in which everyone is not getting it done. The same can be said of the King's College Chatter representative. But that doesn't always work. As Gina Frappolli has been saying, "In a perfect world, this wouldn't happen." Yes, in a perfect world, we could leave our troubles in the classroom, orin the office, or on the second floor of Hollenback Hall. Sometimes we can't. Sometimes we need help. In a perfect world, the people closest to us would always lift us up and make us feel better. But quarrels can arise, and sometimes hurt. There are some very special people in my life that I would be lost without, but it's tough for them to knowthat when I come home with a cloud over my head. My four years here has me wondering. "If college is this troubling, what's real life like?" I'm not sure that I want that answer. Much like National Pervert Day, which was a rousing success, make this next Sunday, October 29, National "Thanks for Putting Up With Me Day." Take all of next week to tell those closest to you that no matter how bad things get, they make you happy. A special Chatter thank you to those who bring pleasure.joy, and contentment in my life : thanks to Mom and Dad, Scott and Spoon; and an extra special thank you to Erin, for whom the word happiness was invented. Thanks, friends; I love you all. This week's moral: remember those you care about and those who care about you, and happiness will be with you throughout your days. Or in this imperfect world, a majority of them, anyway. That's all for now. We ' ll chat again next week. �OPINIONS October 26, 1995 ounc You are cordially invited to attend the Tree Dedication Ceremony %SA AT WILKES' BOOKSTORE Now Carrying: 20% off all greeting cards, health & items in the beauty aids, bookstore and with the local exception newspapers of books -- '- Sale ends 10/31 Page4 IN HONOR OF ANTHONYD.

Kaskel scored the lone goal for Wilkes in their 2-1 loss to Lebanon Valley College. · Beacon Fik Ph oto By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Beacon Sports Editor Every great team has its nemesis, and the field hockey team has found theirs. For the second time this season, the Wilkes University field hockey team lost to Lebanon Valley College, this time in an MAC playo ff game. On Wednesday afternoon at Ralston Field, the Dutchmen defeated Wilkes by a score of 2-1. The loss came one month and eighteen days after the Lady Colonels lost their season opener to Lebanon Valley by the same score. The team now must wait until NCAA bids are announced next Monday and hope they receive an at-large bid. If the NCAA selection committee does not extend a bid, the team will most likely receive an ECAC bid. They will probably not be denied a ostseason bid with their 13- 4 overall record. The Lady Colonels came out strong in the first half, keeping play in the vicinity or their goal. But Lebanon Valley College scored first at the 14: 14 mark of the first half, when sophomore Cori Nolen beat goaltender Tracy Engle. Wilkes quickly responded, with senior Kim Kaskel evening the score at 1-1 . Her unassisted goal came at 13:36 of the first ha_lf, and momentum seemed to be going the team's' way. But Lebanon Valley regained control, keeping play near their goal for a few solid scoring opportunities. Their game-winning goal took place at4:45 of the first half, and they continued to control play until halftime. The Lady Colonels regrouped at halftime, and dictated the pace of play throughout the second half. They had two corner plays <).t 15:37 of the second half, but neither resulted in a goal. Two more corner plays came up empty at 14:54 and 13:25 of the second half. By far, the best scoring chances occuITed at 13 :02 and 9:52 of the second half, when two passing shots went just wide . The latter opportunity was a crossi ng shot from Kim Kaskel which was just out of the reach of Tonya Masenheimer. With time running down, the team had two final corner plays at 1:45 and 1:22. But Lebanon Valley regained possession and ran out the clock, ending Wilkes University's MAC Championship hopes. Once time had expired, many players wand e red around the field in a daze, while others hammered their sticks to the ground in frustration. But in a year which tied many records and broke others, the team has much to be proud of as they await notice of their postseason assignment. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

OPINIONS November 2, 1995 Letters to the Editor Editorial Is it just 1ne or have you noticed that the last·couple of weeks have been ex- , tremely hectic? Walking through campus, I've noticed the sighs and tired looks on the faces of so many Wilkes students. And to my amazement, l-Ve are not alone. Talking to friends at other colleges proves rny point.; we 're just burnt out. With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, some professors have been busily cramming to keep pace with their syllabus, while students wonder if they 'll ever get a break. Week after week, tests keep piling up and papeh follow not to far_behind. And it seems that no matter how mlt_c h ·w ork we do, the list of assign111ents and projects keeps getting longer. Today, I had an interesting con versation ivith one of my copy editor's. A few days ago Colleen 's mother asked her to carve pltmpkins lvith the family . Although Colleen wanted to help, she explained to her mother that she had too much work to do and couldn 't help out. Her mother responded, "Colleen, I know you have a lot o_f work to do, but you still have to take time Oltt for yourse(f and stop to smell th e roses." Now , isn't that -the truth. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the amount o_f work you have, why not take a cfeep breath andfind something relaxing to do. Since fall is one of the most b eautijlll seasons in the Wilkes-Barre area, go outside and e11joy yourse(f Take a l-valk through Hickory Rltn 's National State Park. Ride your bike through Kirby. Or even sit ltnder a tree at the Seven Tubs. Enjoy yourself. That's what life is all about. Don 't get me wrong, school work is very important and it really must be completed. But instead of getting caltght up in the whirl-w ind of all yoll mllst do, sit back. Don't let life pass you by. It's really too short to begin with.

Although the basic stance of this col umn reads that Halloween is possi bly the most confusing holiday we have, some very interesting and perhaps humorous ideas came to mind concerning certain costumes the Chatter would love to see. Costume 1: How about Newt Gingrich dressed up as Mother Theresa? Or Strom Thurmond as Pope John Paul II? Yes, the Republicans are coming to your doors, fellow citizens, to rip the money out of your mattresses . That is, if you believe what you hear. If they do show up at your house, expect them to be closely followed by Pat Schroeder as Joan of Ark and Dick Gephardt as .. . I don't know , maybe a viable, credible, polit:cian. That wo uld be a stretch. Costume 2: Wilram Jefferson Clinton as a butter-milk waffle. The President will probably not complain; who among us wouldn ' t mind being toasted and them smothered in butter-and syrup? Please don ' t answer. Costume 3: The entire Cleveland Indians lineup as hitters . The object of this game is to score runs , not to ignore reporters . •Costume 4 : Shaquille O ' Neal and Deion Sanders · as athletes. Attention please: all Dallas Cowboy and Orlando Magic games will now be televised on the Cartoon Network, where these two caricatures belong. Costume the Last: Election Day is next Tuesday , and the four county commissioner candidates are throwing their last pieces of mud . Gentlemen, your costumes: for Frank "I Love My Bookie" Crossin, a Mr. Ed costume tailored to resemble Cigar, the horse only a bookie cou.ld hate; for Joseph Jones , a fountain pen which writes ·in (what else?) red ink; and for Jim J:>hillips, a pair of deerskin overalls with one strap down , and a club Barney Rubble would be p~oud of. That way his clothes can have a caveman mentality as well. As for Tom Makowski, he should go as the Riddler: he' s the only question mark in the group. This time, that's a positive. That's all for now. We 'll chat again next week. ~-------···------■--------·---·---, FLASHBACK year is 1974 ~------- ■ ---- ■ --------------------.1 D: Uil((Il ce IITJ 11 CC@~Ilti frti@nu presents the ~(i }] 1fi1 fl <!)) fl 1h@ r,<£ fl 'Ir (& (#! fl ~ i )))) o ·a nce Friday November 3rd from 9:30 pm until lam In Rumours, located in the Marts Basement.

Sabbatical Proves Rewarding By ROWE.SWIENTISKY Se,ecial to the Beacon To be a teacher is to touch the future, whether we are speaking of today or five years ago. It takes a lot of constant study to give a teacher the confidence they need to help today's students. Students are growing up in achanging society and teachers need to be familiar with tho.se changes. In that regard, teaching is like medicine where doctors need to take classes and attend conferences.Teachers need to keep current and thats what sabbaticals ai·e all about. l11e Wilkes faculty hand- book, page 56, defines sabbaticals in the following way. "Faeulty members may request .. . sabbatical leaves to enable them to cany on activities that will increase their value to the University and will be professionally rewarding. Such activities may include academic work toward advanced degrees, postgraduate work, or research in a field of choice. May be one semester with full compensation after each 12 semesters of service, or a full year with half compensation." In the weeks to come you will learn that the outcome of the recent sabbaticals taken by Wilkes faculty has benefited the students greatly. While the teachers enj0y time off, they are researching and studying the latest trends by actually being involved as students. l11ey b1ing back up to date know!edge which they can now pass on to their students. l11is knowledge is not only more cmTent, but it is often taught with renewed. As you read on I hope you will feel the enthusiasm and glow Ifeltandsaw as I talked with Gay Meyers, associate professor of Education at Wilkes University, about her first sabbatical experience. Gay took her sabbatical to "make contacts with principals, give Wilkes students the oppor- tunity to at least observe field delphia schools, by sitting in on experience, and possibly student classes with students. She did this by viewing her world through teaching within urban areas." With her new excitement the children 's eyes. She sat in the classroom with the students and Gay is setting a fire at Wilkes. She is now the chair of Hu- talked with the students. She even man Diversity Committee and went as far as being the shadow she will also be adding two new of a fifth and ninth grader at local coarses that will aid the Wilkes schools. What did Gay learn?

Teachers in urban areas face many problem s that are relativlely unknown in this area. Some children in urban schools have seen their father beating their mother. Some have been asked to do drugs and then viewed or even taken part in a gang killing, and all of this before school starts for the day. The thoughts of these children are not just on education but how to survive in their own backyard. Professor Meyers wants to teach and interact oneon-one with Wilkes students who will be teaching in urban areas. Just listening to Gay got me 1 pumped and if you know Gay Meyers you know she is vibrant,exciting, captivating, and loves to teach. Now imagine her with a new goal of teaching, one that excites her to the extreme. Now is the time to take a class from Gay. Meyers is like a forest fire that can not be contained and it is contagious. This is one fire that I hope Wilkes lets burn throughout the community. What does Gay say to the people who want to X out sabbaticals? "They lack understanding of the intensity of the work that many faculty do ... renewing experience makes you fresh and current." Gay received her B.S. in Education from Lock Haven and her M.S. from Wilkes.

But in each of the last two years, the team has settled for an ECAC bid. This year's hopes were NCAA Division III Championship bid. They are one of 16 teams which have been invited to the toutnament. The magnitude of the invitation is not lost on Coach Malatesta. "We' re ecstatic as a te_am. 'This is something we've looked forward to all season." Once the euphoria of the news began to wane, the Lady Colonels started preparing for their first round opponent, Co11land State.

The only other one to accomplish that feat was Old Dominion on the Division I level. Cortland may have an historic past, but this year's squad is only the second seed in their bracket, a product of their 14-52 record on the season.

As the number one seed in the bracket, Messiah is the host school. Their first round game is against Mary Washington College from Virginia, after the Wilkes game on Friday. The winner of the Messiah game will face Wilkes or Cortland State in the round of eight. The Lady Colonels have had moderate success against ranked teams this year, so they should not · be intimidated by Cortland State. The team has been led by its core of seniors, including Kim Kaskel , Sue Richardson, Steph Hastings, and Theresa Havel. Kaskel has 15 goals and nine assists, while Richardson has 12 goals and six assists. Equally as important are the contributions of Hastings and Havel, as Hastings has six goals and four assists, while Havel has three goals and four assists. Goaltending will be crncial in the NCAA Division III Championships, with the tandem of Tracy Engle and Pam Truszkowski. Engle has a goals-against average of .81·, while Truszkowski sports a .94 average. , Now that the Lady Colonels have made history, they hope to make a statement by reaching the NCAA Division III Final Four. ,Meet Division Ill field hockey's "Sweet 16"' NCAA Division III Field Hockey .Championships Friday's Games (November 3rd) At Messiah College Grantham, PA Messiah (15)) vs. Mary Washington, VA (12-3) Wilkes (13-4) vs .

Story on page 2 Photo b~• Eric l\lorincllo �News Page 2 November 9, 199 The Beacon Squirrels abound on campus By ERIC FREELAND Beocon Stqff Writer Streets in south WilkesBarre are lined with oak trees. Dozens or giant oaks are scattered across the river commons and on the Wilkes campus. This area of town is the home to many an oak tree, and thus the home to many bushy-tailed rodents. The Wilkes University campus is nearly ove1rnn by squirrels. On an average day , if you were to walk from Evans Hall to Pickering Hall you would come across dozens o{ them . In fact, there are so many squirrels that students have started to name them. From Nutsy to Stumpy, the squiITcl without a tail, the campus welco1hes its furry friends. The type of squirrel found around the Wilkes campus is the Eastern Grey Squirrel and its population explosi~n is nothing new for college campuses. Since this area has an abundance of large trees and trash cans for the squirrels to gather food from , there are more squirrels in the area. However, this is not the only reason why there are so many squirrels this fall. Dr. Michael Steele, associate professorof Biology, has studied squiITels for 20 years and says there are more squirrels this year because of a bumper crop ofacorns in 19931994. Steele also co-authored an article "What are squiITels hiding?" with Peter Smallwood in the October 1994 issue of Narural Hisrory . "In the past two years the trees around campus produced more acorns than what the area has seen for many years," Steel said. 'This not only happened here at Wilkes, but th ro ughout the Northeast. With this increase of food, came the increase of the squin:el population." Steele is not the only person studying the squirrels here at Wilkes. Several senior biol ogy majors are studying the animal's acorn-burying and eating habits. "Our senior project is investigating why the squi1Tel eats only certain types ofacorns and buries the others," said Kristen Mc Nally, senior biology major. The other members of the res&,1rch group include . Matt Beam, Tom Horvat, and Jamie Land. , Holli Root, senior nursing major has noticed the increase in the squirrel population and enjoys watching them . "I love the squirrels," said Root. "They are so cute when they eat the acorns with their little paws." Not everyone is happy that so many squirrels have made Wilkes their home . Tony Rymar, junior environmental science major, does not like it when the squirrels jump out of the trash cans at him. "The squirrels make me n~rvous, because they are like kamikazes when they leap out of the garbage cans and I am afraid that one will bite me, " Rymar said. Steele said a squirrel will only bite if a person provokes it. Diane O' Brien, the campus nurse, says that she has not seen one incident of a student having been bitten by a squirrel in her seven years here at Wilkes. fJ The .Beacon is lookin for news writers.

Source: The Guinness Book or Records �Page 4 November 9, 199 OPINIONS Editorial To be honest with you, I had nevei· before heard Yitzhak Rabin 's name until after his death was publicized across the nation. But did I really have to know him to respect him? While some say Rabin was on the verge of a world-wide peace breakthrough, others argue he could have never succeeded in making Israel one nation under peace. And though he may have died without completing his main goa l in reaching all Israelis, one he did influence very deeply was his grandaughter, Noa Ben-Artzi. From all rhat I've read about Rabin's beliefs, dreams, and life -- the most heartfelt words o_f all, were those spoken by I7-year-old Ben-Artzi, at Rabin 's funeral held on Monday. · "Grandad, you ii:ere, and still are , our hero ... Greater people than I have eulogized you, but none of them was granted as I was, the caress of your warm gentle hands, your 1vcmn hug, which w~ts kept only for us, your half-smile, which always said so much to me. There is no feeling of revenge in me, for the pain does not allow the space. " Here is a girl, ready to enter the world as we know it, but instead of feeling hatred and conrenipt for her grandfather ' s assassin, which she has every rig hr to do, sh e has publicly remembered the good in him and the peace he's instilled 1virhin her. Maybe we should cill learn a lesson from her. Hare is a ve,y strong 1vord. Ir means a for and it can go a very long way, depending on who ir' s directed rowarcfr Bur, whctT does ir really prove? Nothing. So why then, do so many people feel bitter ? Why nor feel happy ro be alive, in love; or just because? ' Ir all goes back to us, a society fe eling a great sense of pessimism. Instead of haring, killing and seeking revenge, there must be a way ro look at ir all and/rel love, rather than such contempt. Since I was a child, I've always been taught that "love is the key to all happi"ness." No, my parents 1veren 't leaders of a country, but like Rabin, they taught their family well. Letters to the Editor - To the editor, Once rtgain I feel that I am a victim of Wilkes University. I recently began the process of choosing courses for the upcoming spring semester, which will also be my final semester, because I plan to graduate in May. In my seven previous semesters at Wilkes, registration was usually a harrowing time in that courses that were required in my major, Engineering Management, conflicted with Environmental Engineering courses which I wanted to take as Technical Electives. Twenty-four credits in technical electives are required for graduation in the engineering management program . This final semester of mine is to consist of 11 credits of technical electives. In and of itself this is not a difficult task . Choose two 4 credit classes and one 3 credit class and this will meet the requirements. Of course, things are not as easy, as they seem. There are two four credit classes offered by the Environmentcl Engineering depai·unent. One class is offered at 12 noon MWF with a lab Wednesday 2-5 . The other class is a three hour marathon offered Monday nights 6:30 - 9: 15 with the lab offered Wednesday 6:30 - 9: 15. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I u·uly believe that it is very difficult for any student to sit through three hours of a lecture once a week. I think it is even more difficult to have two three hour night classes in one week. It is borderline inhumane to expect this from a student. I wanted to know why this class at night for the first time si_nce in previous years, this class was offered during the day . After a conversation with a knowledgeable member of Jie Environmental Engineering deparunent, I was told that the depai1ment has an unwritten 'commitment ' to the traditional student in which they try to provide a class at least once a semester in order to accommodate the student who cannot attend Wilkes during the day . This is not a bad thing . I applaud the .department for seeing the need lo provide classes at night, but this should not be at the ex pense of the "traditional" student. My solution to this situation is to offer both a day, and night section of the class in question, to accommodate both the traditional and non-u·aditional students at their own discretion. I truly do not want to take a three hour ni ght course two nights a week, but if I wai11 to graJtiate, I' m at the ·mercy of those who don not realize the plight of those· in this situation. When I asked about the possibility of adding a day section to this class, the reply I received from the faculty member was that he thought it would be economically unfeasible to offer the class both in the day and at night. I feel like a victim. 1 raised my voice and it was not heard . . Fine - if Wilkes is so woITied about the decline in enrollment, they truly need to quantify the unfavorable word of mouth that is u·aveling about Wilkes University . If the university is going to continue to anger their current students, which is evidenced by the students letters to the editor in previous week' s Beacons, those cuITent angry students won't giw the University bad lip service. In my opinion, this is exactly what the University must strive to improve. if they are going to keep the students coming in. I u·uly believe that 'offe1ing courses at night is all well and good in accommodating non-traditional students, but Wilkes-University must strive to not accommodat.e one group at .the expense of another. A perfect solution for the consumers of the education provided at Wilkes is offered to both day and night sections of a co_urse, in order to accommodate all students. Sincerely. Sco11•w.

The cold hand returned, but this on the shoulder, to insist that no matter how rosy gs may appear, there will always be death looming dthe comer. !must confess, I wasn't as knowledgeable of the Ii peace process as a Political Science major should been. I'd seen the historic footage of Arafat extendhis hand to Rabin in the White House rose garden, and in accepting. That image has been replaced with one lhemost powerful I've ever seen: the front page of · day's New York Times, which features a picture of an's King Hussein a~ Rabin's burial, wiping the tears his eyes. It is difficult to lose a peacemaker; it is ic to have one taken away. This generation has lost eone rare: a person who may only partially-believe in' the is doing, but realizes that it is necessary for the ter good. Such altruism is uncommon, and that's what de Yitzhak Rabin great. It is also what will make him . d. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. Once the initial shock and h01TOr began to subside, the search for What Next began. Yitzhak Rabin was not just the P1ime Minister of Israel, he was the linchpin of peace in the Middle East and of Israel's future in it. Ame1icans need only look at their own expe1ience and history to begin to sense the probabilities. Never was this nation more brutally divided than when President Lincoln was assassinated - less than two weeks after the Civil War was f01mally ended. Instead of the renewed polarization that was expected, the divided nation came together. Although the strains that had led to that war persisted for decades more, the union only strengthened. While there were no-comparable national strains when Presidents McKinley and Kennedy were assassinated, reaction to their murders did more to unite than to divide the people. Indeed, John F. Kennedy was all but enshrined in the emotional reaction. Obviously, the Israeli people have been divided by the intense strains of Rabin's bid for peace. Their experience is testament to the truism that peace is harder to win and keep than war. But Rabin, born and raised in Israel, and revered as a military leader before becoming distinguished as a political leader, knew that of the two, only peace had endming value. Israel had successfully survived four decades of unremitting violent enmity from all of its neighbors, but peace was nowhere in sight. Israel was tired, embittered, and approaching a state of being psychologically c1ippled.1l1en, guided by the vision of his temporary successor, Shimon Peres, Rabin reached out to the Palestinians, proposing an end to their hostilities. There had been previous demonstrations of the rewards from this move in the relationship that developed between Israel and Egypt's Anwar Sadat to Israel's Menachin Begin. Their success became the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. It has not been an easy course - but then, the road to peace never is. The eff011's of Rabin's supporters in Israel and those of Yassir Arafat in the occupied te1Tit01ies have been under a constant ban-age of opposition - verbal and physical -by min01ities on both sides. There always are those prefer force to reason, command to government, war to peace - and they have been prominent in both camps far longer than any impetus toward peace. Acts of violent teITorism by fanatics constantly threatened to derail the peace effort. But Prime Minister Rabin, albeit with a shrinking and desperately na1rnw majority in Parliament, persisted. And the kind of peace in which Israel survives as an accepted equal by its neighbors, appeared more likely of being achieved than at any time in its nearly 48 years of existence. ,· By conu-ast, the course dei:nanded by his assassin - and echoed by extremists in Israel and the Arab world - never did, never could, lead to either a just nor a lasting pace. It is an article of faith - in the eventual vict01y of innate human sensibility - that the majority of people on all sides in the Middle East will so share the dismay over Rabin's assassination that they, too, will choose peace over more wmfare. 111en, Rabin's death - like his life - will not have been in vain.

Senior Keith Fox says that he would use the directory to enhance his popularity with the ladies. "I wou Id use the telephone directory to call girls I meet in classes or at parties and ask th~m out on dates," said Fox. " If I had a directory now I would definitely have a better social life." Acc ording to Andy Carter, Student Government Treasurer, Fox has nothing tci wo1Ty about. "We ' II . get the directories out as soon as possible next semester and hope that all the members of the University utilize them," Carter said. Some students suggest that more information be included in the directory such as hometowns, class years, and majors. In previous years, the directo1y has included additional information. �Page 4 EDITORIAL PAGE Messy just doesn't cut it It's not every day that you stop and realize the number of people you take for granted or those you walk by and use for services, but neveJ· think twice about again: waitresses, bus drivers, janitors - the list goes on. Until the other night I caught myself doing just that. It was abollt 7:30 p.m., and a group offriends and I were walking past the cafeteria. To our surprise, Herman Horowitz, one of the cafeteria workers was still inside sweep ing the floor. With his ba_c k bent a bit, he slowly swept the messy debris from dinner into a neat pile. But, he didn't make that mess, we did. Hundreds of students pile into the cafeteria daily. We eat. We drink. We socialize. We make a mess. And when we're finished, we go home. Some ofyoll might say, "Well, that's theirjob-- that's what they are payed for." And while I agree with you to a certain extent, it's still not fair that a certain number of us come in every day, do as we please and don't _give a damn what we leave behind. For example, last night I heard a story about a drunk studen t lVho llrinated beneath one of the cqfeteria tables. And while some of you may get a little chuckle out of that, don 't you also find it sad and disgusting? What gives any of us the right to throw a glim wrapper on the ground, toss a glass across the ccifeteria or something far worse. We, as adults shollld be able to control our behavior. Like they say: Would you ever do that in your parents ' house ? Hennan 's job is hard enough without the rest of us making it more difficlllt..

November 16, 1995 Letters to the EditorDear Editor, In response to the large empty space on page 4 of the Novem· ber 2, 1995 issue of the Beacon, the devil made me send you the following information. With all due respect to Dr. Reif, who should be the person writi ng this letter, I wish to communicate some errors of English usage fou nd in the writing of some memos, articles, etc. that have crossed my desk within the past few days. Don't read for contenl; just admire (?) the use of English. It takes a lot of constant study to give a teacher the confidence they need to help today' s students. Teachers need to keep current and thats what sabbaticals are all about. May be one semester with full compensation after each 12 semesters of service, or a full year with half compensation.This knowledge is not only more current, but it is often taught with renewed.

The following are ·'words of wisdom" from the Literacy Corps. There is no dought in my mind that Literacy Corps should exist here at Wilkes University. and the reason is a first grader named Jessica. To watch the change in this little girl's reading ability-from the agnoizing moans because she didn 't khow a word to sheer joy when she completes an entire sentence-is all the proof anyone needs. During my class time, I recieve many ideas that I can use with my students. I really enjoy ... because it gives me hands on experience with helping children learn to read. Or, how about the following goodies? For the first time in team history, the WilkesUniverity field hockey team receivedan NCAA Division III Championship bid. They are one of 16 teams which have been invited to the tournament. Through the air Joe Schroeder was 5- 11 br 42 yards and on interception.

Opening for the band was Joan Osborne a performer whose style of music rests somewhere between moden, rock, traditional blues and gospel. "It was preny damb good" said TK, a senior also attending Wilkes. With two more cocerts underwraps, Wilkes students eagerly awail lhe arrival of Alanis Moroset in December. TI1e following were also seen. Week after week, test keep piling up and papers follow not to far behind. Today, I had an interesting conversation with one of my copy editor's. Now that you have the idea, and as we embark on a campus• wide audit of the academic program, perhaps we should explore the issue of the quality in our programs and in our courses (orWJS that coarses?) to see how it is that such poor quality writing is so commonplace. Let us hope that prospecti_ve students. their parents, and their teachers do not happen across this kind of low-quality use of the English language in Wilkes publications. If they do, they will ha no reason to consider giving Wilkes the nod in the competition w·th LCCC or similar institutions. Of course, we may wish to study whether or not our courses arc truly superior to those at LCCC. You might be surprised or disapl)l.)inted at the opinions that exist on campus. The long term consequences for Wilkes could be very important. Finally. good luck to the field hockey team and to through· the-air Joe, but let's try to keep an eye out for those typos(?). from page 8 of the Beacon article: People ask for criticism, but they only want to hear praise (attributed to W.

However, Cadden returned the favor when he fumbled on Lycoming 's second play and Mike Schaffner pounced on the loose ball for the Colonels. The score remained 14-3 at halftime. The Wanfors didn ' t take ad_vantage of a scoring opportunity early in the third quarter whenCookmissedhisfirstfield goal of the year. Later in the third quarter, Lycoming' s special teams buried the Colonels deep in their own territory. Punter Tom Ralicke launched a kick from the Wilkes 35 that was downed by the WaJTior's Tom Grace at the Colonels one yard line. On the ensuing series Zalonis intercepted a dangerous sideline pass from Rine and ran it back' eight yards for a touchdown making the score 21-3.

Wilkes finished the year 5-5, while the 7-2 WaJTiors now move on tr.1 the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Colonels were penalized 12 times for 76 yards and turned the ball over seven times for the second straight week. Two of quarterback Neil Rine' s three interceptions were returned for touchdowns by Lycoming's Brett Zalonis. The sophomore -linebacker scored both of Lycoming' s second half touchdowns. The lirst score of the game came on the first play of the second quai1er, when fullback Stev Hill scored on a four yard touchdown run· to cap off a 16 play, 75 yard drive. Jeff Cook added the extra point to give the Waniors a 7-0 lead. On the next possession the Colonels drove 53 yards on 14 plays to set up a Joel O'Donnell .field goal attempt.

I fully understand that student apathy on the Wilkes University campus is a dead subject. And, although there is nothing I can say that has not been said before, why is it that still no one attends the majority of Wilkes functions? Let's take, for example, the Hot, Sexy and Safer performance that was held Monday night in the Center for Performing Arts. The purpose of t_he show was to introduce AIDS Awareness Week 1995. To be honest with you, i ttendance was pathetic and so are any potential excuses. 1) It wasn't snowing yet, so poor attendance couldn't have been blamed on bad weather. 2) The Dorothy Dickson Darte Center isn't too hard to find, so the reason must not have been the kJcation. 3) So that leaves me to guess that most of you may already know enough about sex so that you oon't need to hear the "safe" route to take. Or maybe it's that you 're all sick of hearing about the AIDS epidemic. But the reality is, AIDS iln't going away anytime soon. I_t is not prejudiced, and it does not pick and choose. Knowing these facts, why wouldn't you want to learn more about the disease? Even more, why wouldn't you want kl save your life? But let's remember, AIDS isn't just about this week. Two weeks, months or even years from now, it will most likely still be here. So why deny it? AIDS Awareness Week is a perfect time for us to become educated about this virus. Since there ren't many classes on the subject, it's up to us to gain more knowledge. The problem is we need to work to get this knowledge. And on this campus, that's just too much to ask. a 1iversity 1 Depa 50 or 14460. In response to this week's letter to the editor, The Beacon staff would first like to thank Tammy Swartwood for her continued-support. It is ni£e to know that our hard wqrk is noticed. Secondly, we appreciate the constructive criticisms from both Tammy and Dr. Stine. However.what few people realize is the _effort and long hours that go into being a Beacon s~aff member. Let's remember that !here will always be mistakes and we are only learning. And isn't that what we're here for?

Good luck with your next two weks of . classes. Study hard, but have fun! Page 3 Letters to the EditorDear Editor, I am writing in response to Dr. William Stine's November 16th letter to the editor. He offered "constructive criticism" on the "use of English" found in The Beacon. I agree with Dr. Stine that typos do detract from the quality of the pieces found in The Beacon. As a writer who contributes to The Beacon , it is disappointing to see a piece you have written with typesetting errors that were not in the original copy. The errors reflect on the writer when in fact the errors often occur when the story is being typed in for print. Dr. Stine repeated many examples of mistakes made in The Beacon. Admittedly, there are mistakes, but, there are also mistakes in every other daily and weekly paper in America. The solution is proof reading the copy. The piece to go in the· paper should first be read for content and grammar, and then corrected. After being typed in for publication, the piece should be proofed again for spelling and typing errors. This process would be cut down on typos and improve what Dr. Stine considers "poor quality writing that is so commonplace" at Wilkes. Maybe Dr. Stine or other interested people could volunteer to help the sparse Beacon staff with this new two part proof reading system. I think that this year's Beacon has become a quality publication. As a senior reading The Beacon for four years, the 1995-1996 Beacon has come along way. The layout, the columns, and the coverage of news has been improved dramatically. Addressing the typesetting problems would only further the improvement of The Beacon. By reducing, the typos, The Beacon could become a truly outstanding publication. The staff should be proud of what they have done thus far, but as in every.thing - we should strive to become even better. Sincerely, Tammy Swaitwood • - -- - - - - -- - - - •II!_' 1·: I I I. 1'· I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ·••• . - ·x, ~- , ,:;· " .~ ' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Mountain City Nursing Home (located off the Dorrance exit) isJooking for individuals or groups · to come in and sing, visit or make cards with the residents any .time du1dng : I · · · · rested .

As if you haven't been. beaten over the head with the Beatles enough, the Fab Four lead off this week's Chatter. It seems that certain Chatterheads have been slightly disgruntled about the sincerity of t·his semester's topics , and yearn for the days of a lighter, funnier column. Never let it be said that this column won ' t pander to the wishes of the masses, no matter how ludicrous they might be. With tongue plated firmly in cheek. away we go on our "Magical Mystery Tour.'· First stop on the tour: The sad song that is the former Yugoslavia. If you didn ' t catch the Presidential Oval Office Address, all you needed to do was read Warren Christopher's Op- Ed pi ece in Monday's New York Times . The good news is that the Clinton administration appears to be in unison on this issue. The bad news is that Americans, as a majorit~. don ' t care. As one caller to a local television station so eloquently stated: ''That speech won ' t interrupt ' Monday Night Football,' will it?" Yes, Virginia, in our area, the Raiders are much more important than halting the slaughter of innocents. Stop number two : Since our astute friend mentioned the Raiders, the Chatter has a bulletin for all fans of professional football , especially those who find themselves grossly disenchanted with the money and the moving. The Zenmaster hath decreed. and we shall follow, that the Chatter's new favorite football team is the Green Bay Packers. No billionaire goof owns them, and they are not moving anywhere. Besides, the best celebration after a touchdown takes place at Lambeau Field: when the players jump into the stands, and the fa11s congratulate them with multiple pats on the back. And what could be better than watching a January playoff game on the frozen tundra? That's football . Stop number three: Speaking of sports, let's talk college football. Hey, did Ohio State go undefeated yet? Next season, the Big Ten Conference will permit the Buckeyes 15 men on the field in order to stop Michigan. Furthermore. Eddie George, the prize OSU running back, will be judged only on games he plays against a horrid defense. That way he can win the sham Heisman Trophy. The Chatter has no vote, but if we did, we-'d sock it in on Danny Wuerffel of Florida, contingent upon this weekenct:s. game against Arkansas. He has the numbers , and runs the most elaborate offense in the nation. And he could beat Michigan, I suppose; but he couldn' t tackle Tim Biakabutuka. Who can? Stop number four : Michigan may have improved their sad song slightly, but the most {emarkal?le turnaround continues to be the men's basketball program at Wilkes. I can remember as little as five years ago , when any game against Scranton and King' s meant an automatic loss. But now people say we have the best team in the nation. I'm not sure about that, but from first hand knowledge, this is true: last week ' s game against New Paltz St. was relatively close, until the Colonels employed their daunted full-court press . Two minutes and 14 poims later, ttie Colonels .had a large lead, and the Hawks were demoralized. Do yourself a favor: come to the Marts Center and see this team. ll1ey are truly a sight to bC'hold. As for a championship season, we can borrow from the Liverpool Four: gentleman, last year you had found her; this year, go and get her. That's all for now . We ' ll grant wishes and farewells, when we chat again next week. . -~IRHC II)tng., SLC 1, 11 ,.am •Info. Expo.; CPA & SLC, 9 am - 9 pm •S'fAR Presentation I pm •~':{he Quilt", CPA, 7pm !_i am:;.

According to Lisa, "If you' re worlied about contracting HIV through boogers, you've got a whole other problem." Her quote about boogers indicates that this program was not only infonnational but ente11aining. To prove the point that all condoms do fit, she squeezed a salmon-colored condom on to the head of an audience member. If you think this is outrageous, you would have been shocked to see someone else spread eagle on thetloor, with Lisa trying to get him to do what she wanted without verbal instructions. This was more than an outrageous demonstration. It was an example of what happens when partners do not communicate. Communication and education are big parts of the sexual revolution of the nineties.

BY ERIN EUSTICE As the number of people being diagnosed with AIDS grows, so do the myths and fallacies about this growing pandemic. Myths such as contracting HIV through ~rinking from an infected person's cup and fallacies such as homosexual men only ··~aving to be concerned with HIV contracuon, are unfortunately believed by today's 10Ciety. . The truth was told at Wilkes University's ~resentation of "Hot, Sexy, & Safer" by Lisa Kushell. Kushell visted Wilkes on Monday evening as part of AIDS Awareness Week 1995, and is currently toming the country to encourage teens and young adults to accept andnegotiate safer sex practices. Since 1988, the provactive, zany and creative perfonnance has reached over 800 nigh schools, colleges and universities in an attempt to raise theit=consciousness regardingHIV and other STD's.

CRONAUER Special to the Beacon "In our area, people feel that it will not affect them, " warns Kraig Pannell of the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council. Fact. HIV and AIDS are affec ting people in Luzerne County and throughout the Wy oming Valle y . F act. Whether you want to believe it or not, HIV and AIDS affects all of us. Whoever you are, wherever you are, everyone is at risk. · Perhaps we need to ask ourselves, how many people "pass through" the Valley? How many people unknowingly in' feet others after they find out they are HIV positive? How many people who are at risk .never get tested? The questions don't stop here. The fact is, the HIV virus that causes AIDS is still being transmitted from one person to the next in record numbers. According to Michael Tucker, director of Case Management Services of the WVAC, as of October 1, 1995, there have been 169 intakes and 78 of them have died. Cun-ently, there are 91 active clients, 83 of whom are HIV/ AIDS infected. The other eight arc family members of other clients. Between July 1 and September 3d of this year, the WV AC' s caseload has risen 33%. In the 90' s, whe~ everyone should be aware of how we can protect ourselves, why are the number of HIV/AIDS transmissions rising? According to Pannell, ''There is not necessarily a lack ofinformati on out there. Peo le get a lot of information from is not fun. I wish I would have TV.
