If your answer is yes, 're not alone. Students to become active in protecting and preventing crime in their own neighborhood: Last Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in the Marts Center there was a meeting discussing the possibility of ·Wilkes :University starting its own crime watch group. Lt. Rushton of the WilkesBarre Police Department, Chief Gerald Cookus Head of Security at Wilkes University, Guy Izzo President of the Crime Watch Coalition and Coordinator of the South Wilkes-Barre Area Crime Watch, Dean Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, CJ Copely, President of the Off Campus Council, along with other crime watch members were present to discuss how a crime watch group can be formed and what it actually does. The Crime Watch's main objective is to report susp1c10us or criminal activities to the police. The Crime Watch leaders will also organize walk or bike patrols around the Wilkes University campus. The primary goal of these patrols is to let the criminals know that Wilkes University students are concerned with crime on and off campus. Lt. Rushton made the point several times that these "patrols are non-confrontational, the students are simply there to observe and report any suspicious or criminal activities to the police department." Students who join the Crime Watch Coalition do not have to attend every patrol, they can take part whenever their schedule allows them to. Lt. Rushton also said that the students are not in any danger because "students are not to intervene. If students stay within watch group regulations, and they remain within a group they will remain safe." Although there was agood turnout for the first meeting, if Wilkes is going to form a crime watch group more students need to get involved.CJ Copely said, "The key to getting more people involved is to let them know that crime can affect everyone's life."

Breiseth, is the new vice-president of Alumni, ~evelopment and University Relations. "Wilkes is a real treasure in the community and I'm excited to have this opportunity," he said. Strunk expressed admiration of the accomplishments of his predecessor, Thomas Hadzor, and he hopes to have the same impact on the University. Hadzor has taken a position at Duke University in North Carolina. The description of Strunk' s position includes chief external relations officer and a general officer of the University. · His main responsibiliti~s are to oversee marketing and communications with constituents both locally and nationally, plan and manage fund-rai si ng activities, and organize the University's relations with alumni and friends. "With all of us working together we can try to get people in the community, and hopefully the nation, to understand all that's happening here on campus;" said Strunk. Strunk comes to Wilkes after 11 years at the University of Scranton. Over the years, he was directorofthedevelopmeqt,annual giving, planned giving and capital campaign departments. Claire Fox, director of annual giving,seesStrunk'sappointment as advantageous for the University. Shesaid, "We'rereallypleased to be able to get someone of Paul's caliber here at Wilkes. His breadth of experience in fund-raising is really going to help us gain support ~ for our annual and capital needs." Fund-raising has always been a large part of Strunk' s career and he works with the attitude that all donations are equally important.. He said, " If someone gives you a million dollar gift (and it's all he/ sheisabletogive)it'sbecausehe/ she wants to help the organization. If someone gives you a $10 gift (and it's all he/she is able to give) it's for the same reason;. therefore, they're in the same Strunk added, "Thee give is different desire to give is the are sponsori fan bust support o football te playing Albright , 0 Sign-up sh will be int cafe. and@ t even th ver 29 lo ackin•g the s into lobby la of a ers.

The Red Cross will receive the names of all of the honorees that blood was donated for; that person_ will then get a certificate telling them that blood was . given in his/her honor. Also, a dedication board will be posted in Stark lobby listing the names of these honorees. The blood drive committee will be asking that people sign up in advance for the drive at the registration tables set up in Stark lobby from October 7th-9th.

I didn't mean to criticize or condemn anyone. To each his or her own. For those of you that did read the column, arid were thoughtful enough to comment on it, thank you. For those of you that did read the column and didn ' t comment on it, please feel free to do so, at any time. There are a few topics of interest that were introduced to me over the course of the past week. I'd like to discuss these topics this week, but please keep in mind that the views expressed are not necessarily of the writer. Well , maybe not, but if I give incorrect information about something, please let me know ·(nicely, of course), because I may not "know it all" ,about some of the things I'm asked to talk about. The first topic is the subject of Ethernet connections. As we allknow, some of the dorms here at Wilkes are equipped with Ethernet connections which allow direct access to such goodies as w~lkesl.wilkes.edu, bl9ndie.matcs . and yugo.mme. I will admit that I don ' t know which dorms · are, but I do :\(now that some are. Regardless, someone mentioned to me that some people are not taking advantage of the Ethernet connections. This person informed me of the facts that dialing up to wilkes 1 with a modem is slower than using the Ethernet connection (in fact, five times siower). Also, using a modem rather than the Ethernet "bogs down" wilkesl, which means that the mainframe will run slower for others. I have only one thing to say about this topic: for those of you that are capable of utilizing the Ethernet connections, please do so. It will benefit both you and others which are on line for long periods of time, whether it be to check your e-mail, write a computer program or play fantasy games. (Not those kinds of fantasy games, for those of you with sick minds). The other topic which I would briefly like to touch upon is the SUB. As we all know, the SUB is open "late night" between the hours of 8-10 p.m. A disgruntled student mentioned to me that he tried to get a cup of coffee at 9:30 p.m . and couldn 't because the coffee maker was already turned off for the night. I will not sit here and criticize the SUB , because it is a great convenience to be able to pick up something to eat later in the evening. But if it is open until 10 p.m., there should be things available to eat and drink until 10 p.m. I could understand why the student was upset - after all, all he wanted was a cup of coffee. Well, that's all for ow. As always, if you have any comments, questions or topics of discussion, please e-mail me at rtym@wilkes.edu. Have a good week, and we'll talk again soon.

Freshman Communications major, Jessica Aikey, freshman Secondary Education and English major, Nicole Del Priore and I share a common bond. We are all dedicated fans, and that is one hard job. You may disagree, but being a dedicated fan takes tons of patience and persistence. You also have to be sly and work well under pressure. For instance, if a big, hairy bouncer shouts that you cannot go backstage, you have to quickly come up with a scheme to get backstage before the tour bus departs. Enough about the characteristics of a die-hard fan. We all share another common bond-;-- Davey Jones. ''I'm in love with Davey Jones, even though he's 50 !," exclaimed Nicole. "The Monkees are my favorite band." Nicole was in the second row at the Monkees' concert at the Kirby Center on August 23, and she too, ended up meeting the classic group. Nicole explained that she and her friends waited outside the back entrance of the Kirby before the show. Peter Tork carue in and signed Nicole' s postcard and posed for a picture. Mickey Dolenz and Davey Jones also got dropped off, but rushed inside. However, Nicole got a good look at the van that delivered the musical trio, and noted that it said 'The Woodlands." She had a blast at the concert and even handed Davey a red rose as he sang "She." "After the concert, instead of waiting outside like everybody else, we went straight to the Woodlands," she said. She continued that they waited for close to two hours before a tour bus pulled up. When the bus arrived, Davey and Mickey came out and signed autographs for them and posed for pictures. , "Davey was really short and really nice," she said. "When I told him my favorite 'Monkees' episode was 'Frotis', he laughed and said, 'I can't believe you remember that!" Nicole was very excited about meeting her all-time favorite music group, but she did have one complaint, "I was jealous of Donna because she got to dance with Davey!" Jessica Aikey also met Davey Jones while she was waitressing at a bar/restaurant in her hometown of Mifflinburg. "I didn't even know it was him until my boss pointed it out to me," she said. "I remember what he ate though. He doesn't eat red meat so he specifically asked for broiled haddock." Jessica's real idol, however, is not some short guy whose show airs on Nickelodeon re-runs. Her idol is female rock star, Tori Amos, and Jessica had a run-in with her after her May 19 concert at Kirby Center. (The Kirby seems to be the good luck spot to meet supers~:1rs). "I waited by her tour bus for an_hour and a half after the show," she said. "When she came out, she gave people hugs and said hi. Then she looked at me, smiled and said 'Hello.'" "I was so excited to meet her. It was weird because I realized she's a real pers9,n ! It's so much different when you see them in person than when they are on stage," concluded Jess. And to nobody's surprise while interview_ing Jessica, "Precious Things" by Toti Amos was blaring in the background. · Meeting an idol can be like a dream-come ·true. As stated earlier, you have to be a very dedicated fan to actually wait for hours on end to get an autograph or picture. And some of us dedicated fans are lucky enough to get the chance of meeting a favorite star. if you have a story about an encounter with a well-known political figure, musician, actor, sports figure, artist or anyone inspirational, please feel free to contact me so I can include it in an upco.ming edition of "Rendezvous: Backstage and Beyond."

Congressional citations, greetings from PA Governor Tom Ridge aQd resolutions from community leaders and area legislators were · presented to Bigler. But, the most moving tribute came from one of his students, Kathy Schmucker. Schmucker, a senior communications and political science major who is interning with Congressman Paul Kanjorski, was asked to present the Congressional Record citation. She also turned to her teacher and said, " Professor Bigler, if someone like you believes in me , then I know I can believe in me." The principal address was given by Sanford Ungar, Dean of the School of Communications at American University. Ungar, a good friend of Bigler, spoke about the distrust Americans have of journalists and referred to naOu f Susqt tch , Lu ecreatit nt, Wil lub am unications ·ng compa keting ex1 e County i Photo by Dave Honoring a colleague. it as, "blaming the messenger for the me ssage."

Although he deviated from his intended speech about his latest book, Fresh Blood: The New American Immigrants, he presented an enlightening speech about journalism, political communication and its transformation through time. Senior Kalen Churcher, a communication major, felt Ungar's information was relevant to her and her other students, "Dean Ungar's speech was really good for communication majors, he has good insights into the media aod how they deal with political as well as other topics." Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chair of the communications department attended Dean Ungar's lecture with some of his students, "what he said was pertinent to people today, because most people only hear what they want to hear in the political process." Representatives from several surrounding colleges and universities also questioned Ungar on various contemporary political issues. tv, Dt interne favoriH World" Ungar shares insights. met one o1 tion s !affeI w through ss, Shemb, �tember 26,-1996 Page 9 'FEATURES dventure in our own backyard ILKES-BARRE - · tc of Susquerumna Watch, Luzerne ty Recreation ment, Wilkes-Barre 'g Club and venture" recently, to safe, affordable rentals to the general on the Susquehanna orking together, ehanna River WatGh _ 1e ethical he makes to have the ty to learn fr; )~ledge able 1alf of all t nd facu lty a e are proud Jr teacher , Professor gcment and river ; Collective unications, a local eting company adds arketing expertise; e County supplies portation and support ·ce and Wilkes-Barre ·ng Club lends an e and water safety ing to the mix. ther they form a •rative model" for profit, local rnment and private anies working toward mmon goal. 'Because of budget traints we're always lenged to come up affordable recreation all Luzerne County. This project makes sense because it uses available resources and equipment in a creative way for the common good," says John Charles, Recreation Director 0f Luzerne County. Scott Spinucci, project director of Susquehanna Outfitters says he came up with the idea just a few years ago while working as marketing and public relations director with a major outfitter near Jim Thorpe and as a volunteer with local river-front groups. "I realized first hand, the positive economic and recreational impact canoeing and rafting had on the Poconos' economy. Why not bring the same level of quality recreation to the Susquehanna and Wyomi!).g Valley?," asked Spinucci of Kingston. He added that "Undoubtedly, the Susquehanna River is our most under-utilized recreation /tourism resource. We've talked a lot about recreating on the Susquehanna in the past and we look to an even brighter future as water quality increases each year, but there's never been a . better time than right now to enjoy what we have." "This is a perfect example of what people can do if they work together," says Dr. Gerald Reisinger, executive director of the Wilkes-Barre Rowing Club. The club recently donated office space in their modular headquarters atop the levee in Nesbitt Park. Reisinger will also oversee water safety training classes. "The support we've received from local businesses has been good but we need more help from companies like hardware stores, sign shops, newspapers, tv stations, etc. to help us both promote and defer costs," .says Spinucci. Recently, members of the Wilkes-Barre Tomorrow joineq _Susquehanna Outfitters as a "quasi" test . group for canoe excursion3. The response from members who canoed the river this past weekend was _ overwhelmingly positive. "I. was amazed at the natural beauty the Susquehanna River offers. The stretch (of river) between West Pittston and Forty-Fort is like a beautiful untamed wilderness. During our journey we saw River Otter, Osprey and Blue Herron. It was unbelievable," says Jay Nardone, Wilkes-Barre Tomorrow member. People in the Wyoming Valley really don't give the river a chance. But when you canoe it, you see it from a different perspective." In addition to the many people involved in bringing this project to fruition, Susquehanna Outfitters would also like to thank Mayor Ray Crisi, West Pittston, Bette Saxton, Kingston, Genoa Wholesale Foods, Plains, and Charles· Urban and Ed Zygmunt, Susquehanna River Watch for their support and guidance. Initially, canoeists will disembark from the West Pittston public boat launch and end their trip at the Nesbitt Park's public boat launch. Future plans include excursions from Tunkhannock to Shickshinny and others, such as West Pittston to Nanticoke and Nanticoke to Shickshinny. A river guides program was started recently to assure water safety along with providing education concerning river history. Anyone interested in becoming a river guide can contact Scott Spinucci at 288-3729. Canoe rentals will be provided on weekends through the e_nd of October and will be by reservation only. Group discounts are available. Also, special programs will be developed to encourage canoeing among local elementary and high schools. The cost is $15 per person and includes canoe usage (half-day), transportation and water safety training. For more mtormauon call 288-3729, ext. 7 .

Many experts felt that Nebraska would continue its dominance of college football this season. Apparently somebody forgot to tell Arizona State.

The Lady Colonels offense exploded for seven unanswered goals against the Lions of Albright College on Thursday. Senior forwards, Tonya Masenheimer and Christy Palilonis had hat tricks and junior forward, Carrie Chipego added a goal and an assist. - "I'm very happy. with the performance of the team," head coach Addy Malatesta said. "We've finished off our scoring chances, which is what we needed to work on and our passing game was strong." The Lady Colonels' passing game was indeed strong, as was evident during the development of their second goal. Following a goal by Masenheimer at 30:35, Carrie Chipego hit a dashing Christy Palilonis with an accurate pass as she was slipping through the Albright defensive line. Palilonis then slapped a low shot past the right side of the charging goalie and into the_cage at 10:55. Four minutes later Chipego scored on a penalty stroke, which she vaulted into the right corner of the goal. With 1:45 remaining in the half, the Lady Colonels scored the goal that eventually took the roar out of the Lions' game. Once again Chipego set up the goal, when she poked a short pass to a wide open Masenheimer in the scoring circle, who knocked it into the cage to give Wilkes a 4-0 half-time lead. It was obvious the Lions, who had only thirteen players on their roster, were fatigued by the intermission. The Lady Colonels had fresh legs on the field at all times, as Malatesta went to her bench often. "We wore them down," said Malatesta. "I played 22 different players in the first half." Palilonis added two goals and Masenheimer added one in the second half, as the Lady Colonels completed their triumph over Albright to improve to 2-1 on the season. The weekend didn't go as easy for Wilkes as they played a competitive St. Lawrence and the nationally ranked William Smith squad. On Saturday against St. Lawrence in Geneva, New York, Masenheimer continued her offensive rampage by scoring her fifth goal of the season and assisting on what ended up being the game-winning goal by freshman forward Sara Clause. Wilkes went on to defeat St. Lawrence 2-1 . The Lady Colonels _ out shot St. Lawrence 18-3 and senior goalie, Tracy Engle had three saves. William Smith handed Wilkes a tough 1-0 loss on Sunday. The Lady Colonels played strong , but their only lapse occurred 42 seconds before the half when William Smith scored the game ' s only goal. Wilkes lost to Division II power Bloomsburg 3-1 on Wednesday. The Lady Colonels trailed 1-0 when Chipego tied the score at the 9:30 mark of the first half. Bloomsbu,g scored the game-winner with 6:00 left in the first half. The Lady Huskies added an insurance goal with 4:20 remaining in the game. Wilkes played well dP-spite the loss ending a streak of eight consecutive shutouts for Bloomsburg _ Wilkes is now 3- 3 on the season.

Andy Coolidge kicked the extra point giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The remainder of the first half looked as though it would remain scoreless. Wilkes had several ·opportunities to score, but the offense could not capitalize. Susquehanna was the next to put the pigskin in the end zone. With 53 seconds left in the half,- the Crusaders' quarterback, Meckley (six carries for 13 yards and one reception for four yards) would carry the ball one yard for the touchdown. Boo Perry passe the ball to Ryan Alston fort two point conversion. This gave Wilkes a 21-14 lead wi a little over 11 minutes left to play. Susquehanna tried everything they could to sco again, but the Wilkes defense would not go away.

"I support President Clinton's America Reads Challenge that will make every child literate by the end of the third grade." Another King's student spoke of the student loan reform . Christine Gleitsman who is a sophomore said, "President Clinton's reforms of the student loan program is making loans more affordable for millions of students." The Direct Lending Program provides college students with the flexible repayment options .including pay-as-you-learn plans. Clare Zimmiski, senior at College Misericordia states, "AmeriCorps is important to me because it gives students an opportunity to earn money for college while serving their community." In the past two years this service has had 45,000 volunteers working in schools, hospitals, neighborhoods and parks while earning money for college. _ Other reasons for supporting President Clinton's reelection surfaced but some students felt the most important aspect is his proposal to increase the Pell Grant. For most this extra money means students could spend less time at work and more time studying 9r working.

I ·--------------------------~ �EDITORIAL PAGE Page4 Rambling thoughts Until a few days ago, I thought that maybe I was suffering from a common cold. A little sluggishness, a lot of moodiness and no desire to do anything related to school. Then it hit me. I still wanted to goof off and pa11y. I still wanted. to be sociable. I just didn't want to work. It's the sixth week of school and I have it bad - Senioritis. I sho~ld be concentrating ... studying ... preparing myself for a career. I can't even think of anything worthwhile to write about. So, you know what? I'm not going to waste your time babbling about my untreatable illness. Let's talk about you, the students at Wilkes University. These last few weeks I've been waiting patiently, which isn't my best trait, and I've only received one, let me repeat one, letter to the editor. How pathetic! Campus activities are numerous. Controversies are far from none. However, none of you have written. Your opinion counts. I personally would like to know what you think concerning the many changes to Wilkes University. Or why not offer your own suggestions as to what improvements could be made. Each one of us is paying a large sum of money to attend this University. It is up to us to keep it running. With that in mind, I hope some of you will take the time to voice your questions and concerns. Maybe your opinion could make a difference. A quick thought from the Cheatnotes of Life: If you think you have a great idea, DON'T LET ANYONE TALK YOU OUT OF IT even if it sounds foolish.

Dear'Editor, Why hasn't any major political figure visited Wilkes University? I'll tell you why; Wilkes students don't seem to be interested in this election. Iain amazed, shocked and slightly embarrassed of the lack of activism on campus. At the Victory '96 office at 68 S. Franklin Street, less than ONE block from our camous. I am the only Wilkes student, to my knowledge, who volunteers. I work side by side with students from Kings and Misericordia. On Wednesday. October 2 there was a Students for Clinton/Gore eve nt in fronl the gym at Kings College. This was attended by students from Kings, Misericordia, and Pittston Area High School. Again I was the only Wilkes student present. The Crown (the Kings' newspaper) took the time to interview their stude nts and even sent a photographer. The Times Leader also cov.ered the event. Where was Th e Beacon ? If students show no interest in what is happening politically, don't vote, or when they do vote, don't vote according to their bet interest; who's fault is it going to be when "President Bob Dole" and Speaker Newt Gingrich eliminate direct student loans, slash Pell Grants and cut work study? Why has President Clinton protected Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security fo r our parents and grandparents? It's nol just because he cares, and we know he does; it is also because our parents and grandparents VOTE! The reason why Bob Dole, as form er Senate Majority Leader, co ul d repeatedly and consistently vote against Pell Grants, work study, Americorps and student loan reform is because he need not fear our wrath on November 5th. We as students nee . to not only start voting, but start voting smart.

See you next week. the pub· $28 wit On the Oth e r Hand ... with Sue McCarty Thanks to some creative oooging, I'd managed to avoid being sucked into the maelstrom of physical fitness that' s swallowed many of my recently health-conscious generation. Of course, after the amount of chemical and herbal imbibing some of us did to our brains and bodies 25 or so years ago, I can understand the urge to try and recapture some of that pre-psychedelic robust youth. I even tried to join them. · Once. I went as far as buying an exercise tape for my VCR. You know the type - the cover rc,ttu: l.!S an impossibly buff chick in full makeup, beaded with moisture, looking disgustingly happy at the turn of events thatled her to become the latest expert on," ...how you, too can begin trimming every last ounce of ugly fat off of your unsightly, ungainly, marshmallowlike body simply by purchasing this handy dandy little tape for the unbelievably low price of ... ", $30 or $40, depending on the drawing power of the babe's current TV show, movie, and/or MTV video. Being a thrifty sort, out of dire necessity due to the thoughtless reproduction of more of my species, I passed over Cindy, Cheryl and Jane, and grabbed a tap~put together by someone a little less well known .... uh, Ethel Joe? In my rush to bounce, stretch, and strain my way to fitness, I promptly left the tape, still sealed, somewhere in ct:ie depths of my bedroom for the next two or three weeks. Unlike several friends of mine, who seem to take a perverse joy in "hitting the wall" on a regular basis, I tend to consider my daily relaxing routine of working, studying, cleaning, and washing dishes, clothes, small dirty bodies, cuts, scrapes, bedclothes, lunchboxes ... ok, ok, you get the point, more than enough exercise needed to keep, at the very least, conscious. Besides, I hit a wall once. It hurt. A couple of my more ambitious (masochistic) friends spend a good chunk of every day either jogging themselves nearly to the point of pale, sweaty expiration, constantly clutching at their wrists in an effort to locate a pulse, or playing tennis until the veins and arteries in their necks bulge and pulsate, with their lips drawn back in a death's head grin from the effort of having so much fun .. . or both (you know who you are). They're probably on the mailing lists of every orthopedic surgeon within a radius of 50 miles. Just in case. ~ My obvious sloth displays a deplorable lack of innate desires to become the answer to some medico's dreams of financial success. I can live with that - despite the fact that I heard much good work has been done in the area of treating intlamed rotator cuffs, shin splints, and carpel tunnel syndrome. It wasn't until, during one of my semi-annual bursts of half-assed ambition aimed at creating some semblance of order out of the chaos of my home that I discovered the thing, with Ethel Joe still patiently, sweatily. toothily leering ai me, under my bed. Sudden visions of myself with the same taut, glistening body of the ever-lovely Ethel Joe sprang into my head, and with all haste (another week or so) I carefully draped myself in my best T shirt and sweats and-unwrapped the wonder of wonders .. . Vigor in a Box .. . in 20 minutes a day, three times a week. Everything of steel. Eureka. The gods of fitness would be smiling down on me for sure. Thirty minutes later (they lied), as I eased my trembling arms back down to my sides, I gratefully contemplated, between occasional bouts of unconsciousness, the astounding benefits of my new-found health regimen. Vitality and endurance would be recaptured ... muscles that hadn't seen any functional use in years would spring back to life ... lack of oxygen would cause (more) brain dainage ... my heart would stop ... blood vessels would burst .. . Reassured in my decision to continue with the pliant and disgustingly cheerful Ethel Joe, who never developed my own quite attractive technique of gasping for air until the tendons stood out in my neck, I reverently set aside the Holy of Holies until the next day. Promptl y at 6 a.m. I attempt.ed to leap out of bed, sure that all my straining efforts of the previous day would have already developed the beginnings of muscles that would cause Arnold to bl ush in shame. Confident that the screaming protest in joints and ligaments was the unhappy result of merely sleeping in the wrong position during the night, I blearily made my way downstairs and bolstered my sagging spirits 'fith seven or eight mugs of coffee before approaching the TV. In a feyer of caffeine-fired ambition, I plugged the tape into the VCR and waited for the Answers to tender voice of.Ethel Joe to urge fue into performing the contortions required to "warm up" King Crossword SCAM •BOB before the real fun begins.

Beacon Staff Writer Saturday afternoon's blustery winds, cloudy skies and nagging rains failed to put a damper on the men's soccer team's 4-2 overtime win over Elmira ·college. The win was Wilkes' first non-league victory of the season, lifting its overall record to 2-5. The game proved to be an intense one right from the beginning, as it was mostly a mid-field battle with few shots being taken by either team. The first goal didn't come until the 22nd minute, after the Wilkes offense strung a series of one-touch passes together at the Elmira perimeter. Wilkes freshman mid-fielder, Brian Wukitch, at the receiving end of the passes, took the ball at his · feet and struck it well, sending it into the sidenetting off the inside of the goalpost. Elmira nearly _equalized the score seven minutes later, when the ball sailed over the Wilkes defense a_nd found the Elmira forward's head. The ball clanged off the post, but somehow managed to stay out of the net. Elmira was vulnerable at this point, and Wilkes was wise to take advantage with a quick counter-attack. James Lacy, a late-half substitution, received the ball at mid-field, turned and dribbled with speed, drawing several Elmira defenders. This opened up space for a streaking Rob Roll~nd, who made a sprint from Lacy's left flank. Lacy laid the ball off, catching Rolland in full st1ide with a one-touch shot that found the back of the goal. Wilkes' two goal lead didn't hold up long, however. With just under eight minutes left in the first half, Elmira got on the board with a nice clip shot over the keeper.

A solid defense can win a team a bunch of games. Just ask the Wilkes field hockey team. The Lady Colonels proved the cliche on Saturday afternoon when their stingy defense stymied a pesky FDUMadison offense en route to a 2-0 shutout. From the start it looked as though the Wilkes offense . would dominate the affair. The Lady Colonels came out with a fluid passing game that established a firm field ' position in the offensive zone. They took advantage of their offensive stability two minutes into the game when Tonya Masenheimer dribbled into the scoring circle from- the left side and slapped a shot on goal that was blocked, but Christy Palilonis knocked in the rebound to give the Lady Colonels an early 1-0 lead. For the remainder of the first half the FDU-Madison defense clamped down on the Wilkes offense, as they killed the many fast breaks and scoring chances the Lady Colonels generated. Wilkes almost broke the clamps with four minutes remaining in the half when defender Heather Evanish, who pinched up into the offensive zone, drilled a shot off the right goal post and out of bounds. In the second half, Wilkes continued to send shot after shot at FDU goalie 'April · Sharnitz, but she denied all of them. With 12 minutes remzi.ining in the contest and the Lady Colonels clinging to a 1-0 lead, Wilkes goalie, Tracy Engle did some denying of her own. Engle displayed a variety of charging kick saves to stall several FDU scoring chances. She finished with six saves. Evanish, MasenQeimer, Sarah Reed and Noell Brooks had great defensive performances, as they frustrated the FDU forwards all day with their quickness and effective poke-checking ability. Brooks would eventually be a factor on offense, when she set up the Lady Colonels much needed insurance goal. With 9:12 remaining, the senior defender sent a pass to Palilonis in the scoring circle from 35 yards out. Palilonis then poked a short shot past Shamitz, who came out to challenge it, as lunging Carrie Chipego pushed the loose ball into the cage to seal the victory. Wilkes defeated crosstown rival King's College 2-1 this past Tuesday. The Lady Colonels improved to 5-3 on the year with the win. Extended coverage of the game will appear in next week's Beacon.

The Colonels controlled the scoring in the first quarter as Boo Perry (16-30-2 for 223 yards) connected with Mike Gu_ndersdorf (7 catches for 145 yards) for two touchdowns. The first score was from eight yards out and the second was from 23 yards out. Andy Coolidge added the extra point on each, giving Wilkes a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Wilkes defense helped its offense when linebacker Joe Sinkovich recorded a safety to increase the Colonels' lead to 16-0. _FDU-Madison struck back when quarterback Mike Morgan (13-27-2 for 118 yards) sneaked in a one yard touchdown run to bring the Devils back into the game with a score of 16-6. However, the Wilkes defense prevented FDU-Madison from scoring again untfl the fourth quarter. Boo Perry aired the ball out again to Mike Gundersdorf, completing a 39 yard touchdown pass with 33 seconds left before half-time. The extra point by Andy Coolidge sent the Colonels into the locker room with a 23-6 lead at the half. The next score came from Wilkes late in the third quarter· as Boo Perry threw his fourth touchdown pass to Mike Gundersdorf for 39 yards. Andy Coolidge kicked the extra point which gave the Colonels a 24 point lead to start the fourth quarter. Wilkes continued the scoring in the fourth quarter when Sophomore 1unning back Andrew Yenser (1-6) rumbled into the end zone from six yards out.

The past fo otball rivalry betweenWilkes University and King's College las ted· only seven years, from 1946 to 1952, when King 's dropped their football program. D~ring the span of the rivalry? Wilkes College won five out of seven matchups with King's, and had last possession of what was called the "Peace" trophy when they beat them in 1952. The original trophy was donated by William Peace, a businessman in the downtown Wilkes-Barre area. Peace was . a great sports enthusiast who wanted to give iiOmething back to the community which had two colleges within a few blocks of each other. Since King' s and Wilkes resumed playing each other in 1992, Wilkes University has won all three football games.

About 25 students and faculty gathered in Rumours on Sunday, October 6 at 9 p.m. to watch the 1996 debate between presidential contenders former Senator Bob Dole and President Bill Clinton. The main purpose of · this event, sponsored by the communications and political science departments, was to help the students "get the most out of the Clinton-Dole Debates." With a big screen television, free pizza and soda, and coverage by WBRE-TV, students sat down to watch the debate and discussed the issues that were being addressed. In addition, suggestions that were prepared by Dr. Diana Carlin of the UniversityofKansasforSpeech CommunicationAssociatesand the "Politics Now" www site and the League of Women· voters, were distributed to the students as a guide. It consisted of list of issues that might emerge from the debate, a "g!.:aded" system of problem solving and knowledge between Clinton and Dole. It asked a variety of other questions. For example, to whom did the candidates appeal, did the candidates address the concerns of young voters, and based on the debate, who would make a better president? Many college students remain skeptical about who to . vote for in this election, even after watching this debate. One a major concern for college students is whether or not the candidate addresses young voters like themselves. "I felt that by attending this program, I could . gain better insight toward the candidates' stand on the issues. Since this is my first presidential election, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity so I can make a wise choice this November," said Mike Beachem, a junior communications major. After the debate; students stayed for a brief discussion lead by Dr. Jane ElmesCrahall. It seemed that the majority felt that Dole lost the debate for a variety ofreasons and that Clinton had more credibility. For example, Dole's poor posture made many feel that he did not appear to be confident. As noted by Kathy Schmucker, a senior communication and political science major, "Dole sounded like a bitter old man," because he continuousiy attacked Clinton. "This debate reaffirmed my support for Clinton.Dole'sskirtingaround the issues and personal attacks on Clinton, in my eyes, showed a lack of preparation and an overall fear of the President," said Kalen Churcher, a senior communications major. Another interesting comment, concerning Dole's poor performance was from Sonya Ormsby, a senior political science major who noted "Senator Dole did not followtherulesofengagement. He gave quite a few cheap shoots thatgavean Senator Dole coul~ com pared to Presi Although both pitched themselves ideas, I feel Clint the winner."

Everybody ready for Homecoming ? I am, but my professors aren' t - either that or their mission in life is to make the weeks before and after.the biggest event of the year a living hell. Personally, I've already had three nervous breakdowns (and it's only halfway through the week as I'm writing this). But the profs keep· piling it on. You'd think they would want to take a little break- don't they get sick of grading all those papers and teaching all the time? In a way, though, I guess it's a good thing - at least the professors here care enough about our education to keep pressing on, even when the time isn't right. But you can just see them, gathered around a huge table in some secret room in the Stark Leaming Center, trying to win a bet on who can assign the most work in a two week period. Just a hunch... I want to comment a little about the topics I've been discussing in the last few columns. First of all, I have a correction about the PNC MAC machine story that just ran. I was griping about the MAC mftchine ~ere on campus because it charges a dollar for every transaction - if you are nofa PNC bank member. Yes, it's true-if you have an account at PNC, you will not be charged a dime for a transaction. However, if you are a PNC member, you will be charged for transactions at a Mellon MAC machine. You see, I was only using the machine here on campus as a model of how ridiculous the world is becoming. I mean, you put money in the bank, and they use that money to make money for themselves. Then they get together with their comrades and say "hey, let's make more money by charging each other's customers!" Just another example of the cutthroat business world in' action. But now, at least, you have two alternatives: you can hide your money under the mattress, or you can join a bank and stick to the same MAC machine. The other thing I wanted to touch upon is the little comment I made at the end of last week's article. I used the word scandal when referring to the Commonwealth Long Distance company, which apparently" caused a bit of a ripple in the pond. I would like to point out that this column is a little fact mixed with a great amount of opinion. When using the word scandal, I was only trying to make a few people laugh. So I_therefore advise everyone to take some of the · off-color things I say as nothing but a bit of dry humor. For those of you that are interested, a piece of mine concerning Commonwealth will be run next week. However, I will first speak with tlie CLD representative on campus to make sure that any facts I may have stated in the article (which was slated to run this week) are correct. Once everything is straight, I promise to bring this story to you. Well, I'm a little pressed for time right now, since I didn't expect to be writing a column on Wednesday night to be published on Thursday. I would like to offer my apologies to the Commonwealth representative for using a "red flag" word when discussing their company, but I assure everyone that I meant no harm. All I want is for people to laugh along with me as I discuss some of the things that sometimes puzzle me in our community. I'd like to wish - everyone a happy Homecoming, and best of luck to all of the members of the Homecoming court. Until next time, have fun, but please be safe this weekend so we can talk again next week. · Octobe~ 10~ Become a Best Bud By MIKE BEACHEM Beacon Staff Writer ,Are you looking to meet a friend?

I'in very much looking forward to it,"· said Keelan about his upcoming performing debut with the orchestra Keelan also noted that there is a lot of excitement amongst the musicians for these concerts. "Rhapsody in Blue" is . often credited as a work that forever erased the lines between jazz and classical music. It was· one of the most popular works at a time when jazz was Jrying to be respectable , and was one of the first jazz works performed in a concert hall rather than a dance hall . But all of the music for these performances was written at a strong moment of crossover between classical and jazz, according to Keelan. Another highlight in the evening will be an extremely high-energy work by Leonard Bernstein, "Prelude , Fugue, and Riffs." The piece was originally written for Benny Goodman and includes a demanding solo and lead for clarinet which will be handled by ----- the Philharmonic 's principal music, and from Kurt clariI1etist, Todd Levy.

The free exhibit will be on display from noon to 5 p.m. to the public and Wilkes community. Atget was a French photographer who took pictures of France, . particularly Paris, in the 19th century. Atget was a commercial photographer who worked in -and around Paris for much of bis life, taking close to ten thousand photographs. In thirty years of work, he never photographed popular sites such as the Eiffel Tower or the Arch of Triumph. Instead he focused on expressions of his own day. Atget photographed doorways, city blocks, parks, and statues on overcast days to give the feeling of abandonment and isolation. He used an adjusting lens and large format camera to capture perfect edges and comers of buildings without the curving effect sometimes found in long range photographs. Dr. Stanley Grand of the So~doni Art Gallery . said, "anyone who is interested in Paris should come see these photographs. Eugene Atget is someone who is very representative of France and the 19th century. Atget's photographs are synonymous with Paris." Atget' s photos can be seen in the newly created print room across the hall from the gallery. •During Atget' s exhibit, the Art Gallery will show items from its old collection, art work that has been on loan, as well as some new acquisitions. The Sordoni Art Gallery is open daily from noon to 5p.m. For more information about the exhibits, contact the Sordoni Art Gallery at (717)831-4325 or 1:-800WILKES-U, ext. 4325.

After a few years virtual nonexistence, the crew has reorganized with 20 bers and is working hard,to blish itself as a serious contender ong rowing schools.

Wilkes' course runs from the railroad bridge, which is located about 1.5 miles below the Market Street Bridge, to the Pierce Street Bridge, which is adjacent to the Luzerne County Courthouse. The crew team members also meet regularly in the gym to work out and condition. They also meet during club time on Thursdays to discuss various issues. The team is presently training for the upcoming Occoquan Regatta in Fairfax, VA. The Occoquan Regatta features a grueling 3.2 mile course. While there·, the crew team will represent Wilkes University by competing against as many as 400 rowing teams from all over the country. While most of the other rowing teams are provided with an annual operating budget from their respective schools, our team is not yet a varsity sport and therefore receives no funding from the_ _ __ university. Entering the Regatta, renting boats, obtaining hotel rooms and providing transportation is an expensive venture, so among . other things the team is organizing a series of fund raisers that include a sweater sale in Stark lobby, selling jackets, T-shirts and sweatshirts to pay for the trip. · According to crew team members, rowing is not only a great way to meet people and make frie nds, it is also an excellent cardiovascular workout and a great way to build endurance and strength. Although the Wilkes crew team is relatively small compared to other rowing schools, which may typically have 40 plus members, they are off to an impressive start and are definitely building a strong foundation from which the program will continue to grow in future years. After all, we are a university with great river front property. It would be foolish not to use it to our advantage. Anyone up to a rowing challenge that would like to become part of the Wilkes University Crew Team is encouraged to attend their weekly meeting on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. in Marts Center room 117 or just show up to any of the practices. - 'iJaniei: ·10·"the· ·n·ooth·· • ·_·h·••••~ ·h·••••••••• •••••••••··i 1 wit Mic ae Noone :• It's that time of the year when the boys of summer take the field in the crisp autumn air.

The Lady Colonels used a strong defensive effort and goals from senior forwards, Christy Palilonis and Tonya Masenheimer to knock off the Lady Monarchs 2-1. Palilonis scored at the 11 :22 mark of the first half to put the Lady Colonels on the board. Masenheimer scored her sixth goal of the season with 13 minutes remaining in the game to seal the vfctory. The senior duo, has scored 12 of Wilkes' 20 goals throughout the first 10 games of the season. Two days later, in blustery cold conditions, the Lady Colonels overcame the elements and a tough Scranton team to remain unbeaten (3-0) in Freedom League play with a 1-0 victory. "We played very well," _ said coach Addy Malatesta. "We combined our short passing game and our long passing game." A firm Lady Royal Brooks and Suzanne · Fisher had superb defensive . performances.

"We moved Carrie up to the point, and she ended up scoring the winning goal," said Malatesta. The scoring opportunity was a picture perfect demonstration of quick dribbling, accurate passing and precise shooting by the Lady Colonels' "triple threat" of Palilonis, Masenheimer and Chipego. "Tonya dribbled in from the right side and passed it across the circle," said Palilonis of the scoring play. "I passed it to 'Chip' and she just slavved it in." "It was a total team effort," added Chipego. The Wilkes midfielders and defenders consistently hampered the Scranton forwards and continually fed the Lady Colonels from the line with pinpoint passes the entire game. Jeannette Uhl, Heather Evanish, Noell the ball out of the scoring circle with a long pass to a wide open Masenheimer at the 50 yard line. Masenheimer proceeded to poke the ball from a charging defender and dribble all alone into the offensive zone. But, Scranton goalie, Jen Taylor, raced out of the goal cage to kill the break away. Goalie, Tracy Engel came up with two important saves with under five minutes remaining.

Game 2, American League Championship Series. The Yankees are down to the Baltimore Orioles, in desperate , need of a rally. A pitch is hit and the crowd roars as the ball streaks their way, the ball detennined to make its way out of the park. Seemingly a home run ... so a ten year old boy sticks out his hand, hoping to catch a little of the American pastime. · He actually reaches in a bit, hanging ever so slightly over the railing which separates the fans from the playing field. The ball is almost caught; the boy drops it, and a more enthusiastic (actually, probably obsessed, but we'll get to that later) fan snatches the ball from the stands. Fan interference, ladies and gentleman. It seems to be the only thing the sports world is focused on, especially now that · the Yanks have ended the Orioles World Series hopes. The outraged fans call for justice, saying that the ball would· not have been out had the little boy not reached for it. But the umpires rule it a home run, and the Yankees squeak by the Orioles, putting another stone behind them in their quest for the pennant. But here's the thing: when fans come to the stadium to see their favorite teams play th~ game, why do you think they're carrying gloves with them? It's not because they're going to use them as a seat cushion. So for all you out there still griping about fan interference and how the Yankees should not have been given the home run, put a sock in it. It happens. It happened again in a later game in the ALCS, when a ball bounced over an Orioles' outfielder and was snatched by a fan. Could he have made the play? Doesn ' t matter. ..the play was ruled as a double, and the game · went on. The game has to go on, unless baseball is going to adopt an instant replay system. And what about the boy, who seemingly won a major league base.ball game at the age of lO? He didn't even get to keep the ball. The other fan who got the ball after it was deflected by the child called the boy's home the next day, saying that he could get the ball back "for the right price '. I'll tell you what - that guy should be ashamed of himself. Steinbrenner should have bought the ball back for the 10 year old. Poor-kid. Or, maybe not- word around the campfire is that the boy has season tickets next year, along with getting some pretty nifty box seats for the remainder of the now past American League Championship Series. I think he even got to be on Regis and Kathy Lee the next day. Good for him he certainly deserves it. As you can all see_after reading this, I did not discuss Commonwealth Long Distance this week. I am meeting this week with some of their representatives to discuss some· . things before running the article. Sooner or later, I'm sure the article will be run. I didn't think that many people were paying attention to this weekly piece. I'm glad someone is, though - for better or worse.

However, less than two minutes later, the Aggies struck back when Melinda Ormsbee scored off a penalty corner to tie the game. A back hander off the stick of Masenheimer gave Wilkes the overtime win. "Carrie just passed it, and I got the shot off,'' said Masenheimer. Two days earlier, the Lady Colonels defeated an intense Gettysburg. "They were mean," said Chipego. "But we were mean right back." Chipego displayed her aggression by scoring the games' only goal withjust5:25 remaining, after being sidelined for five minutes due to a mouth injury. "My fiTstshot was blocked by the goalie's pads," said Chipego. "Then I got the rebound and knocked it in." Chipego has been in a scoring zone lately. She's scored a goal in four out of the past five games, including a hat-trick in Wilkes' 5-0victor over Susquehanna last Tuesday. As it's done the entire season, the Lady Colonel's defense came up big once again. Defender Heather Evanish was in the face of the Bullets leading scorer, Tedra Fazendeiro the entire game, denying her any formidable scoring aiances. The defense as a whole played very strong. Especially in the first half, when Gettysburg had control in their offensive zone for over five minutes. Noell Brooks, Jeannette Uhl and Lee Meyers cleared consecutive penalty corners to hinder the Gettysburg offense. Goalies, Tracy Engle and Pam Truszkowski combined for the shutout. In fact, Truszkowski had the shutout rn the 5-0 victory over Susquehanna. "I_>am has played very well in practice," said Malatesta. "We're trying to give her some playing time." The combination of two talented goalies could be an important asset for the Lady Colonels in the post-season. with Michael Noone Baseball is a kid's game. Never was that more clear than in the eighth inning of Game I of the American League Championship Series, when 12year-old Jeffrey Maier got his glove on a ball hit by Yankee Derek Jeter and knocked it away from the Orioles' Tony Tarasco. The umpires called it a home run instead of fan interference, and the Yankees eventually went on to win the American League pennaqt in five games. Immediately young Maier was a darling of the New York press. "Angel in the Outfield" was the headline in The New York Post. Maier even upstaged the presidential campaign. A new star was born in New York, a kid who plays little league in New Jersey. Maier didn ' t hold onto the ball, but it didn't matter as far as Yankee fans were concerned. Maier was treated like a hero during Game 2 of the ALCS . He was given seats directly behind th'e Yankees dugout. He signed autographs for his adoring fans and he was honored by chants of "Jeff-rey, Jeff-rey'' by the New York faithful. Now the Yankees will be in the World Series for the first time in 15 years and all of Maier's life. Enjoy the Series, Jeffrey, but you probably should stay out of Baltimore for the next couple of years. ....................... ~ HELP WANTED Help Wanted Men/Women earn $480 weekly assembling circuit boards/electronic components at home.

Wilkes coach Frank · Sheptock did not hesitate to go for the two point conversion and the win. Perry took the snap, rolled to his right, froze the defense with a pump fake and ran across the goal line untouched for the Colonels ' first lead of the day. Juniata had one last possession and just over one minute left to try to min Wilkes' homecoming. The Eagles advanced the ball to the Wilkes 31-yard line with 28 seconds remaining in the game.

The university was involved in negotiations to aquire adjunct property that would permit access through the mid-center block area. "The sidewalks and grass," O'Hop said, "were intentionally put down topreventpeoplefrom walking through mud. It wasn't meant to be permanent," Bob Saffian, staff architect, said the drawings of The Greenway (a.k.a . the Fenner Quadrangle), weren't available when COB was completed in September, 1995. The temporary accomodations were installed with the knowledge that it would all have to be dug up again, in order to level off the dips and rises in the ground and correct the drainage structure. Saffian said the additional time was useful to see in which directions the students walked.

The extra construction has brought up the questions of extra cost. Capital monies from bond issues, which can only be·used for capital purposes, is how all construction on campus, including the new student center, is being paid for. The exact figures for the total cost of just the Greenway were not readily available, but Saffian estimated that the price ranges somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000. The replaced walkway is approximately two pcru:11t of the entire cost. O'Hop said that the base of the ripped up sidewalk is already in place so the only purchase and installment cost is cement. Whatever can be utilized again will be, such as the top soil. The Fenner Quadrangle, is intend.e d to be a place for students to call theirown. O'Hop anticipates the "quad" to be used for picnics, playing games, such as football and frisbee, and eventually the addition of a plaza for an outdoor theatre. Presently, an ellipse area is being built to provide a place for a flagpole. In the spring the planned arboretum, native trees, plants and flower gardens, will be planted. A site has also been designated for the placement of a sundial that was donated by the family of the late Thomas Kiley, former member of the board of trustees and former chairman: O'Hop is assured that the result is worth the wait. " It is going to be beautiful when it's completed." Saffian agreed with O'Hop , "It's great being apart of helping shape Wilkes for the future."

Everyone, it seems, is attuned to the current troubled state of the American family. On Saturday, November 2 at 10 a.m. at Wilkes University, citizens from all over the area will come together for the last Community Voices Caucus on "Tg.e Family: Refocusing the Collective Center of Our Lives." The forum is designed to problem solve and strategize the issues for the future. "The process is as important as the outcomes," explains . Caucus Coordinator and Wilkes University Communications Professor Bob Armstrong. "I think the folks who have attended the earlier caucuses (on racism and economic development) found the event both invigorating anct inspiring." Funded by Wilkes University and the American Association of Colleges and Universities, the caucuses are meant to place demqcracy back into the hands of ordinary citizens. . "Especially as electio~ day approaches, democracy is literally in our hands," commentsAnnstrong. "We need to encourage a wider, more di verse group of people to get involved and tell us what they think for the future of this country to survive and prosper." The Community Voices Caucus does not establish ari agenda for the participants. It is not sponsored by a community or professional interest. And it does not invite speakers or panelists to make presentations. Nearly two hundred individuals have taken part and organizers hope the caucuses end with the largest crowd to date. A report outlining the outcomes of each caucus will be forthcoming this winter. The caucus is free and open to all individuals of the Wyoming Valley. It will be held at the Arnaud C.

Many students agreed that SenatorDole'sperfo1mancewas better than the first debate. However, the majority of students did not find Dole convincing enough to vote for him. They felt that he avoided talking to young voters, like college students. President Clinton, on the other hand, :was more successful in addressing his _stand on issues toward college students. "I liked how Clinton spoke of more job opportunities, and how the percentage of job opportunities have increased since he was elected and would continue to grow if he was reelected. Since I am going to be entering the working field soon, it is good to know that someone is making an effort for the 21st century," said Boo Perry, a senior communications major. It is true that many people, specifically, college students are concerned about job opportunities because they keep hearing about unemployment rates increasing. Many students expressed concern about job opportunities when they leave college. Job opportunities were not the only issue that was important to students. To some, it was the environment, taxes, foreign relations and many other issues that the government plays an important role in. Nicole Depew, a sophomore nursing major felt, "managed health care quality concerns me most-I don't believe America has the best health care system ever, as stated by Dole.

Next Tuesday, November 5, 1996, is the day we, as Americans, will go to the polls to elect the last president of the 20th century and the first president of the 21st century. Who will it be? Who will we vote for? Will you vote at all ? Voting is a very sensitive subject amongst 18-21 year-olds these days. As of the 1992 election, only 18% of eligible voters aging from 18-21 years-old voted. Statistics show that these numbers are continually dropping. What is the problem? Two words - apathy and cynicism. Most people don't care. And even if they do care, they don't believe they can make the difference. That's where they're wrong. If you think your vote doesn't count and then you don't vote, obviously your vote didn't count. But if you do vote, at least your voice will be heard. It's as simple as pulling a lever to the name you want. Everyone has something negative to say when things go wrong. And when they do, a finger is always pointed at someone else. But what about when things go right? Who takes the credit for that? Voting is your chance to make things right. I'm not saying that , you voting in this election will change the world overnight, but at least you can say that you tried to make things happen, by voicing your opinion. On Monday, November 4, prior t<? Election Day, SmartVote '96 is sponsoring a political rally to entice students to vote in this year's presidential election. From noon to I p.m. on Chase Lawn, students, faculty and community members will gather to increase student awareness regarding the importance of voting. The main speaker will be Cheryl Giberson, President of the League of Women Voters. Student speakers will include Aaron Stoker focusing on "Changing the face of Generation X voters," Karen Handley, "We vote! Politicians need to care," and Sarah Shone, featuring "The Power of the vote." All students are invited to bring posters and make noise.

To the editor: While reading the October 3 issue of The Beacon, I was disturbed by a letter and" article containing similar information, and penned by the same author, Cindy Kem. It should be noted that the "news" article was, in fact, an opinion piece carelessly pla the news section. It's also necessary to note that Ms. Kern capriciously stated as facts, several claims were not attributed to any sources; some of which were obviously false. A "news" article · the proper medium to convey political propaganda. That should be restricted to the edi opinion pages and paid advertisements. That having been expressed, I would like to refute Ms. Kern's statement (in her letter President Bill Clinton "cares" about his constituents, which is why he has "protected" s the social welfare programs which older Ame1icans often rely upon for their retirement i and medical insurance. Bill Clinton is a politician's politician, Ms. Kem. His._"vision" is tunneled, extending no than political polls and focus groups, and no further than the year 2000. His campaign has been highlighted by new ideas, but these won't take us into the2lstce Protecting Medicare for 10 years is like tying a few extra feet of cord Onto a burning fuse d for a full powder keg. Spending billions to ensure that all children are able to read by the end of the third grade sound great, but it skirts the more crucial issue: children aren't learning to read in gradeso two. I should note here that I'm not intending to single out our current President. He isn't th: politician who has lied and forsaken his principals in order to get elected (or reelected). might be the best at doing so (hence his current status). His annoying smugness and plastic smile convey a look of confidence to some, but are more than an indicator that he's a much better liar than Mr. Bob Dole, who has told hiss tales since he threw his hat into the race as well. The truth is fyts. Kern, Republicans and Democrats aren't that far apart on most issues. can!t afford to be. The polls show most Americans are moderate. American voters arenol . , for big change, as much as they say they are. So, while politicians like Mr. Clinton and Mr. Dole continue to apply band-aids and b closures to the festering wounds of our system, the people of America sit back and occasional sighs of relief that the sky hasn't fallen since the last presidential election. What they don't realize, however, is that it is falling, slo_wly but surely. It has beenD some time. You won't hear that from either of the two "major" candidates. "They'd concede the election than tell the truth to the American people. After all, the truth isn't what people want to hear. And if you're running for President, there's no reason to tell especially if lying fiiis you ahead in the polls.

Overall, listening to the man whose music has over 20 years in the recording industry was one of nights I've ever had in my four years at Wilkes. ell, that's all for now, we'll talk again next week. The Beacon staff would like to wish you a safe and enjoyable Halloween. Page 5 .Rendezvous: Backst~ge and Beyond with Donna Talarico On October 20, close to 2,500 Billy Joel fans gathered in the Marts Center for "An Evening of Questions, Answers and a Little Music. Billy Joel answered many questions about his own career and the music industry in general. He also perfo1med a few of his biggest hits, including the amazing grand finale, "Piano Man." It seemed as if the audience was on a one-on-one basis with Billy Joel during the question/ answer session. What could be more exciting? _ I'll tell you. Wilkes University Programming Board Chair, Jessica Beirbower actually was on a one-on-one basis with him. Jessica, a Communications major with concentration in Public Relations and Journalism, greeted the Piano Man as he came from his car. "I didn't get to talk to him too long, but I asked him how his ride went and directed him where he needed to go," she said. "He congratulated me after I introduced him to the audience." Jessica said she could not believe she actually met Billy Joel. "I've always loved his music. It was something I'll never forget," she said. As a member of the Programming Board, she has encountered several other celebrities including members of Live, Rusted Root and Alanis Morisette. She also had the chance to talk with the orange-haired comedian/inventor Carrot Top. "He was funny and real nice," said Jessica. "Really willing to talk to the crew members and give autographs." If you have had an encounter with the rich, the famous, the admired, drop me an e-mail at talarids@wilkesl.wilkes.edu or a note to campus box 1953. I'd love to hear your story. Letters to the Editor continued from page 1 To the Editor: • As we approach the midpoint in our fall semester of 1996, I want to congratulate the entire staff of The Beacon for putting out a first-rate newspaper for our Wilkes University community. The stories have been informative, well presented, accurate and interesti9g. You have captured the mood of a campus in the process of self renewal, including coverage of student initiatives which both offer opportunities for personal growth and community service. As journalists you have demonstrated a commendable professionalism in every aspect of The Beacon's production. I urge more students, staff and faculty to write letters to the editor in response to your columns as well as to raise issues of community interests we should all be discussing. I hope everyone is preparing to vote in the general election and thereby exercise the franchise, one of our most precious rights as a free people. Sincerely Christopher Breiseth To the Editor: It is now time for me to discuss something that I have always found peculiar, but have really never had the time nor incentive to question. It is only now that I am sickened with the flu, that the absurdity of some of this school's policies (specifically the one I will ta.lk about) becomes "intuitively obvious". (That was thrown in as humor for all those who have had Dr. Faut.) What, you ask, am I rambling about? The policy I question is that of the cafeteria requiring those ofus who might want an extra burger for lunch to bring our plates back to the servers rather than dirtying another plate. The only possible reason I can conceive for a policy such as this one being enacted is to lower the amount of dishes that have to be washed. As stated before, I have the flu. See the problem yet? I am quite sure you, the reader of this letter, don't want to be behind me in line when I bring back my plate for an extra helping of mashed potatoes. The same scoop that flopped my extra potatoes onto my already used plate will now be filling your plate with those wonderful spuds. The reason for this practice, I don 't know. It may simply be the dish cleaning problem, or there may be some more complicated reasoning. It seems to me to be a blatant disregard for student health and sanitation in an effort to save a few of our Board dollars. Whatever the case, I would like to know why this happens. I would also like to see this policy end. I think that you, the reader, will probably agree with me on this topic because you never know, I might just be that person who jumped in front of you to get another helping.

By DONNA TALARICO Beacon Staff Writer ,· t • r ' .. Tonight is Halloween and you really have no plans. As you relax in your dorm room with this issue of The Beacon, you receive a phone call. "Hey Wilma! Waldo is having a huge costume bash at his place tonight around 8p.m.! Wanna come? " You really would like to attend the party, but she said it was a costume party. A costume party? You glance at your Indiglo. 6: 15 p.m. 'fl1ere is absolutely no way I can throw a costume together in a little over an hour, you say to yourself. You take a look in your coffee can/money tin and see a few nickels lying there. No money. No time. What should you do ? Then it hits you! You were reading a nifty article about costumes when the phone rang! You go back to your bed and proceed to read The Beacon. If you e.lperieni:e a scenario such as the latter, you hwy want to consider these quick, easy and cheap costume ideas. l. Mummy: Everybody has toilet paper! (If not you have serious problems! I don't really want to know what you use as a substin,te. ) Anyway, if you are running low, get a roll or two from your friendly RA. If they inquire, tell them your roommate just fi nished off a bag of microwaveable burritos. Wrap yourself up from head to toe with the toilet paper and tape each end. Oh, and make sure you leave a spot f9r the eyes, nose and mouth. Enter the party with your hands in front of you, like a sleepwalker:, or do like the Bangles did in 1986 and walk like an Egyptian. You'Hbe a big success and your pals will "roll" with laughter. 2. Farmer: This one is a bit more on the normal side. All you really need is a pair of overalls, a flannel shirt and a pair of boots. Most of us brought these items to college with us anyway. If you can find a bandana, that will add a special touch to the Farmer Brown style. If you are a girl put your hair in pigtails and draw freckles on your cheeks with your eyeliner. If ypu are male, wear a_ straw hat if one is available to you and borrow eyeliner from a female neighbor. Actually, she should draw them on for you if you want them to look like freckles. For the final touch, search through the hay in the Greenway and find a piece of wheat to chew on as you walk to the party. (Nothing like a little grain to spruce up a farmer!) , 3. Athlete: There's plenty of athletes on campus who don uniforms. One of them might even live across the hall from you. Go knock on the door and ask to borrow their football jersey or wrestling headgear. If ou don 't alread belom? to the fine group of sports stars here at Wilkes, now is your chance to represent one, at least for the night. (And guys, I'm sure some of you can squeeze into a .cheerleading jumpsuit.) 4, .Gre.ek: Admitted, most of us college students like to dress up our dorm rooms with fancy bedclothes. But, some of you do have white sheets shoved in a drawer somewhere. In just minutes, you can look like the famed Socrates by wrapping the sheet around you like a toga. Find a green leaf or grass to stick behind your ear to top things off. To look like a Greek athlete, carry a Frisbee around. (This will resemble the discus competitions in the Athens Coliseum.) Of course there are many other things you could wear to a party that can come right out of your dorm room closet. You can wear your pajamas and slippers, or wear a robe and put your hair in a towel. You could also dress as a bum and of course, guys always look funny in dresses and pantyhose! Sure, us college kids don ' t have much money to spend on a killer costume, nor the time to design and construct one. And, since we are away from home, we can' t head up to the attic and get out old clothes. But, we can still get a good costume together in a short amount of time.

The New York Yankee manager waited longer than any man in baseball history to participate in a World Series. After 4,272 games over 37 years as a player and manager, Torre took the Yankees to their record 23rd championship this past Saturday. Torre, the only New York native to manage the Yankees to the title, became the sentimental favorite for fans across the country. Earlier this season, Torre's brother, Rocco, suffered a heart attack and died. His brother Frank had heart transplant surgery last Friday morning at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, about two miles from Yankee stadium. His sister, Sister Marguerite, is a principal at a Catholic grade school in nearby Queens. The human interest stories surrounding Torre brought together the city of New York as one of its own was leading its favorite team to baseball's promised land. The series featured great baseball as well. The Atlanta Braves opened the series looking as though they were going to easily win their second consecutive title. Completely unaffected by the mystique of Yankee Stadium and riding the momentum of their comeback win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series, the Braves took the first two games from the Yankees by a combined scores of 16-1. Nearly everyone counted the Yankees out as they prepared to go down to Atlanta for three games, everyone except Joe Torre and his players. In one of those bizarre yet prophetic sports moments, Torre calmed his excitable boss, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner, after the 12-1 debacle against Atlanta. Steinbrenner told Torre that Game 2 was a must-win. Torre, in an admittedly weird p10od, responded by saying the Yankees may even lose 6ame 2, but they were going to sweep down in his town ofi Atlanta, and win the title back in New York on Saturday. . Sure enough, the Yankees swept the Braves on the Georgia clay right in front of Ted and Jane, then c_ame back to the Bronx to win the series in dramatic fashion. Yankee J catcher, Jim Leyritz hit a heroic• • home run. Leading contender for tllt Cy Young Award, Andy Pettine pitched a classic game.-A badly hQbbled Paul O'Neill made a game saving catch. The buUpen, as expected, was dominating. The Braves scored a total of two runs after the seventh inning in the entire World Series. John Wetteland became the first pitcher to earn four saves in a World Series and wifs 'named Series MVP. This Tuesday New YorkCitythrew a victory celebration for its champions as only New York can. Three million people showered the Yankees with ticker tape as they paraded down the Canyon of Heroes. The New York Yankees are the World Champions once again and Joe Torre has finally realized his lifelong dream.

The Colonels put together a nine play, 57 yard scoring Mike Hankins (34 carries for 12_1 yards) ended the drive with a one yard run for the touchdown making the score 13-0. Wilkes would have another opportunity to score late in the fourth as a blocked punt gave the Colonels the ball at the King's eight yard line. With a show of true sportsmanship, Wilkes elected to run out the 1:40 on the clock instead of trying to run up the score. Thus, the game ended Wilkes 13 King's 0.

Wilkes University has sponsored several opportuniti~s for students to pick up literature on registering. On Monday, Nov. 4, a political rally was held at noon on Chase Lawn, organized by Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall' s Persuasion class, which drew an approximate total of 100 to 200 students. Red and blue ribbons were distributed to remind students to vote, and literature on Voting procedures was also available. Sarah Stone, .one of the organizers and speakers of the rally, was disappointed by the turnout. "It really didn't go as well as we'd hoped, although holding it at lunch time probably had a lot to do with it," she said. "The students who were really interested in the election were obviously sincere about their right to vote."

Special to the Beacon . Whatever you do, don't call him president of , the MSNBC. That isn ' t his title and even though he works for a top news agency, he is not a journalist. However, if you ever get the chance to talk to Marty Yudkoyitz, feel free to ask about Bill Gates because he enjoys talking about Bill Gates. Why? Because Marty Yudkovitz is the president of NBC's Interactive Media, an historic collaboration with Microsoft, MSNBC. Marty Yudkovitz will be on the Wilkes University campus November 8, 1996, to be the keynote speaker at the !"Ourth annual High School Journalism Conference, sponsored by the Wilkes Department of ·Communications. Yudkovitz will address over 200 high school students on the future of interactive media and the news at the conference luncheon, located in Rumours in the lower level of Marts Center of the Wilkes cam pus. Yudkovitz, a native of Kingston and graduate of Wyoming Valle y West High School, says his interest in media began while he was a regular contributor to his high school newspaper and other high school publications. He was editor in chief of the "72 Spartan " WVW ' s award winning yearbook. After graduation, Yudkovitz attended Rutgers University, where he served as president of "The Daily Targum ," the university's daily newspaper. Following graduation from law school at Columbia University, Yudkovitz became an associate with the New York law firm of Kelley, Drye and department where he was responsible for corporate and contract work, ranging from NBC's satellit© unit to "Saturday Night Live." Yudkovitz moved from his role as vice president for Business Affairs, for the network's 1992 Barcelona Olympics project to become NBC's Senior Vice President for Strategic Development. Several projects he helped develop in this role were the firstseedsofNBC'sinteractive Media business. Presently, :titBC Interactive Media is seen in 20 million homes and is expected to be in 50 million homes in the next five years. Yudkovitz is quick to make it clear that this venture was not his idea alone, but a collaborative one. As president of NBC's Interactive media, he now directs all of NBC's major business initiatives related to the internet, interactive television, CD-ROMS and other "new media ." Planning the future of the national network technology is a real challenge for Yudkovitz. He was a primary architect for the NBC-Microsoft Strategic Alliance and later MSNBC Cable Channel and the MSNBC Internet Interactive News service deal. That is until NBC convinced them to get involved. Thinking ahead is often a matter of going out on a limb, of taking tremendous risks. According to Yudkovitz, "the task at hand for both NBC and Microsoft is to think beyond their own industries. This is an extremely risky endeavor. It could fail for any number of reasons, especially since this is a rapidly shifting industry. But, we established our " brand" When asked about the impact interactive media will have on the way the public receives information in the future, Yudkovitz replied that one can't look at any given news service as helping or hurting. It is what the people decide to do with that service that matters . "The internet contains information ranging from sports scores to sto'ck quotes, from pornography to government directories. What matters is not what or how much information is available, but rather how people decide to use th'at information. Presently, we have an internet page dedicated to the elections, 'Decision '96.' It contains every bit of information conceivable concerning the election, and it is very helpful ifpeopleuseit.Ifinsteadthey look at the sports pages, 'Decision 96' won't help." Clearly, Marty Yudkovitz enjoysthechallengeofstarting a new business venture. "Nothing is more exciting than working with a blank slate and making your own rules. It is the scariest, and at the same time, the most invigorating experience," said Yudkovitz. NBC's Interactive ·Media is much more complex than the average person may see. To those on the outside of the industry, it appears to be an organized, cutting edge news medium that is taking the lead in news presentation for the . future. Pay attention because if everything goes according to MaryYudkovitz' splan,NBC's _Interactive Media will not only set the precedent in this area, but will stay at the top.

Box 0887, Miami, FL 33164 �Page 4 EDITORIAL PAGE A roach with an attitude < I For a good 45 minutes I sat in front of a blank computer screen racking my brain as what to write this week. I figured I could remind everyone that Monday, November J 1 is Veteran' s Day, where we honor all who have fought for the U.S. Then I thought about friendships, good-byes and other sappy thoughts which I wasn't in the mood to discuss. Concentrating a bit more, which nowadays seems to be a chore, I remembered a vivid image from the cafeteria, which has yet to leave my mind. While sitting eating dinner with my ever so cool friends, I looked at the wall beside me only to see a cockroach that would strike fear in the hearts of the most courageous big-game hunters. Later the next day, his twin brother was seen running ragged across the opposite side of the cafe. There is no doubt in my mind that the remaining roach clan isn ' t too far behind. What a nice way to spend a pleasant dinner at the Wilkes cafe. I'm sure that every institution has problems with bugs, to put it gently, but in our eating space ...that is just disgusting. And what about those who live in Pickering? You know there's something seriously wrong when the boys of Pickering are complaining about bugs. The issue can only be avoided fqr so long. What does it take to stop this problem? Rumor has it that a student in the last few years jarred a few of these lovely creatures making sure the administration knew exactly what was going on. The bugs are back and students demand answers. As student's we cannot cower in the cafeteria corners and allow the roaches to overthrow our "beloved'; and wellfinanced institution. Let this serve as a clarion call for student's across Wilkes campus - speak out, don' t freak out! We just rocked the vote, now rock the roach. November 7, 199 .

I still do at times, but only when I'm driving my favorite car .... someone else's. Lately my own car has developed some rather disconcerting habits aimed, I think, at the notion that it's had about enough of this, thank you very much. With the odometer pushing the 87,000 mile mark, my 12 year old Buick Regal (only Wp of the line for me) is not quite as subtle as it used to be when it came to complaining about something. It's even taken to spitting oil back at me when I administer it's biweekly feedings . Ingrate. Coaxing it into life every morning has become a challenge of somewhat Biblical proportions. When the wind is right, neighbors for miles around can hear the dulcet tones of my gentle chiding . When it finally roars into consciousness, grown men cross themselves and stare fearfully at the sky, while mothers clutch their children to their breasts and mutter unintelligible prayers. Because I pride myself on being the sensitive type, I know it only took six or seven months of this untoward behavior for me to realize the seriousness of the situation. Besides, my seventeen year old daughter had the bad taste to, first, actually get her driver's license, and, second, belong to a high school swim team that has 5 a.m. training sessions three times a week. All winter. So, brimming with the anticipation I usually reserve for final exams and the thought of ever becoming pregnant again, I quietly slunk through a couple of the local car lots in pursuit of the real American Dream - a ~ar that will run for more than a week without a visit to the nearest mechanic. . While the intent of actually slinking, unnoticed,through a car lot was a noble one, the reality of the experience was the type of rude awakening usually reserved for people who unwittingly stumble into the charming presence of Texas border guards. As soon as my foot hit the ground in the first lot, a platoon of salesmen started power walking in my direction, each trying to outdo the others in their effort to appear as if they were merely out taking their morning constitutional. When a clear winner was determined, the others peeled out of formation as quickly as a Vietnam jet pilot on a successful bombing run and went back to polishing car windshields with the sleeves of their suit jackets and staring longingly at the entrance. While "Happy Stan the Used Car Man" proceeded to guide me around the lot, t1ashing an impossibly hearty smile (that never quite made it past the quiet desperation in his eyes), my two boys, who are unusually studious and we·ll trained individuals , proceeded into the back of the nearest pickup in order to test the limits of its shock absorbers. After whiling away and hour or two listening to the scintillating merits of each and every new and used car on the lot (in various states of disrepair), I broke fre e of my cheery, heavily sweating gm·de . I had his most sincere offer of a deal I couldn't possibl y refuse - as long as it was made by the end of the m_onth . This deal was deperi.dent, of course, on the prerequisite donation of my first born male child (tempting), and a quart or two of whole blood BEFORE the cr~dit check, \~hich sho uld send them into such prolonged gales of laughter that hospitalization may be required for those with weak hearts. As we chugged away from the second lot, my daughter was clutching a CD from one of the salesmen who claimed to be on the best of terms with one of her favorite rock stars - \vhich naturally explains HIS career decision. And location. The third lot was a bit of a joke because even the used cars were about the same price as a small house in this -area, but test driving a car that actually moved when I stepped on the gas was a thrilling experience for us. I only hope they can get the chocolate stains out of that upholstery. Once you announce your decision to purchase a new (OK- someone else's) car, e\'eryone you never wanted to know will come out of the woodwork and offer you something, sight unseen. for an unbelievably low price just because they' re friends with your third cousins d~\'orced wife's old classmate from .Public School 154 in New York. Sure thing. Where do I sign? While the pickins' are scarce right now due to the laughable state of my financial affairs, I'm fully confidant that the right c_ar wil_l eventually appear at my door. You know .. . like most husbands and stray cats do. It better hurry, though. Those early mornings are killing me. - ~;;iii be-af;.b~s"°;po~~;;dbyStude~tGo';e-;;~;;t-;;;d-the~he";r"ie;ck;; fo-; th; Wilke;;;.-Ly~;;;hlg \ ootball game on November 16, free of charge.

When asked if he expected anything before starting his internship Noone said, "I tried riot to expect anything, I wanted to go into this internship as open minded as possible." When talking about Conyers, Noone had nothing but praise for the Congressman. Noone feels that regardless of Conyers' age, he relates very well to the younger generation. "Congressman Conyers still goes back to his district every weekend to maintain his contacts. Also, what helps him relate to the younger generation is that he has a very young staff and the people of his district are relatively young," stated Noone. During the seven week internship, Noone spent much of his time working in the Press Secretary's Office. "I did a lot of press releases. I wrote 'them and then they were distributed." Noone also worked a lot of press conferences, helping prepare materials for distribution. One of his obligations was to attend all committee hearings and to help when needed. Noone stated that the internship took up a lot of time, about 35 hours a week. He also had to attend two classes at Georgetown University as another part of his internship. The classes were part of the Institute of Political Journalism. Noone also had the opportunity to be around other prominent political figures and journalists like Anne Richards-, former governor of Texas, ABC's Brit Hume and also NBC's Brian Williams . He met Richards, Hume and Williams while attending seminars at the National Press Club as part of the two classes he was taking this summer. Before taking this internship, Noone was undecided whether to go to law school or to pursue a career in the communications field. After the internship, Noone feels that law school is the best decision for him. "I always was interested in law. I feel the education that I will get in law school is the best preparation for any careerin public policy.'' Noone said of his experience in Washington, "everyone was extremely nice an,d very helpful." He was made aware of this internship through Professor Dana Alexander Nolfe of the communication~ department. Noone has taken many things from this internship, one is that he does not agree with the feelings of a lot of people towards politicians. "Working in Cortgress, you get a better appreciation of how difficult it is and all the work these people really do. They put forth tremendous effort and many long hours. I think it is unfortunate how people feel. These people have the constituents' best interest in mind at all times," stated Noone. However, the most important aspect is that this experience reaffirmed many decisions he was unsure of. Noone now plans to attend law school upon graduating from Wilkes. After his summer experience, why not? He had an internship that opened many doors to him and, he got to see the operation of Congress from the other side of the door. something many people never get to take part in. ston to London: opportunities are endless 'tit be nice to go country,meetnew their working trategies and gain c and work Dixon, a senior major with a on in marketing opportunity last explore London, Dixon went abroad ·sing/marketing and to also take international do · an internship.

By STEVE ROTH Beacon Staff Writer The Wilkes field hockey team fought a cold wind, a tough Lebanon Valley team and a 1-0 deficit as long as time would allow them, until it finally ran out. In suffering the heartbreaking loss, the Lady Colonels were defeated by the Flying Dutchmen for the second straight year in the MAC Semi-fi nals. "We had our shots, but we just couldn't put them in," said coach Addy Malatesta. "Their goalkeeper (Joanna Bates) came up big and their defense did a good job shutting clown Carrie (Chipego )." The only goal of the game was scored at the 7:09 mark in the first half when ijrin Schmid redirected a shot from Casey Iezzi off a penalty corner. "It was a legitimate goal. We had them marked up well and Tracy (Engle) was in good position in goal," said Malatesta. Wilkes and Lebanon Valley are no strangers to one another. In the 1994 MAC Semis, Kim Kaskel and Carrie Chipego combined for four second half goals to defeat the Flying Dutchmen 4-3. Last season in the same scenario, Lebanon Valley eliminated Wilkes from the MAC Championship tournament with a 2-1 win. Earlier this season, the Flying Dutchmen defeated the Lady Colonels 2-1 in overtime. The Wilkes/Lebanon Valley match-up has turned into an MAC rivalry over the past few seasons and last Thursday ' s game lived up to the competitive nature of the rivalry. The Flying Dutchmen dominated the first five minutes of play by obtaining six penalty corner opportunities. But a strong Wilkes defense led by goalie Tracy Engle killed each one of them. Midway through the first half, Wilkes would display some•offensive dominance as well, by earning three penalty comers in just three minutes. And just as Wilkes did, the Lebanon Valley defense and goalie Joanna Bates, who has 10 sh utouts on the season, stopped the offensive attack. Bates denied a long shot by Jeannette Uhl and consecutive shots by Sara Clause and Tonya Masenheimer. Following the Lebanon Valley goal, the game was a . back and forth struggle for both teams, as each squad played solid defense. Both teams matched up well. Wilkes was only outshot 1716 and Engle recorded 14 saves to Bates' 12. But, the contras t was in the penalty comer department, where the Lady Colonels had only six to Lebanon Valley's 17. It's only ironic that Lebanon Valley would score off a penalty corner. Despite the difficult loss, the Lady Colonels were rewarded on Monday for their tough schedule and 11-1 record by be_ing selected host this weekend's E Mid-Atlantic Champio tournament at Artillery in Kingston. Wilkes will face C of Notre Dame, from Baltimore, at 11 a.m. on Saturday in a first roun~ contest, which will be followed by another frrg round game featuring C Misericordia against Gettysburg at 1 p.m. The first round wi will square off in the championship game on Sunday at noon.

As this .season opens up, there are old faces in new places, high priced nts, off court antics and a little basketball, too. · · dlining the list of high profile acquisitions are Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal. prominent all-stars are both on high profi'le teams trying to regain lost glory. Houston Rockets traded away a good portion oi' their back-to-back championship mtwo years ago for the 33-year-old Dream Teamer in an attempt to contend with the Supersonics and Utah Jazz for supremacy in the west. Barkley was more than ready to. Phoenix after failing to lead the Suns to the title and nearing the end of his ionshipless career. Time is running out for Barkley, who has been bothered by back sbut does not want to retire until making one last run at the NBA title. Playing on the team as perennial superstars Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler may give Barkley his hance to make his career complete. quille O'Neal, on the other hand, followed the free agency money to Los Angeles so kcould be the biggest athlete in a town full of big stars. Shag also likes being close to ood so that he can continue his budding acting career. Let's just keep our fingers that we won't have to endure the possibility of "Kazaam II" . With O'Neal, the Lakers become an instant contender and the excitement of "showtime" during the 80' s will to the Forum. Despite an incredibly talented supporting cast in Orlando, Shag was to bring the Magic a championship. It remains to be seen if O' Neal gave up his b~st for a championship in Orlando to try to fill Magic Johnson' s shoes as the biggest star Angeles or if the Diesel is the missing link in the young Lakers' championship puzzle. ~thing remains perfectly clear this season-the road to the NBA Championship runs hthe United Center in Chicago. After a year and a half off, Michael Jordan returned avengeance to lead the Bulls-to their fourth title in the last six years. Last season His led the Bulls to the NBA record for most regular season victories. Bulls coach Phil Jackson has his work cut out for him this season. Jackson has to continue Id the Bulls' divergent personalities into a .team that is hungry to make one more run at championship. Jordan may become distracted by his off-the-court pursuits such as his new and his upcoming motion picture "Space Jam", co-staITing Bugs Bunny. However, if is used to working with cartoon characters it' s Jordan, after all he is on the same team is Rodman. Jackson deserves Coach of the Year honors if he is able to keep Rodman on basketball and not preoccupied with piercing something, thumbing his nose at the ,manying himself or becoming the next RuPaul. When temperamental players such as Pippen and Toni Kukoc are thrown into the mix it becomes apparent that the toughest nts the Bulls will have to face on their way to another title may be themselves. ith all of the off season changes that have taken place in the NB A and the unpredictable alities of its superstars one thing is clear about the 50th season - it is going to be very # By TOM McGUIRE Wilkes Sports In.formation Director By TOM McGUIRE Wilkes Sports Information Director The Wilkes women ' s soccer team tied Beaver College in its final game of the season last week.

T oring t rhe vi s Colo fan i f fi nal -9 pite the rainy s outside, a record gathered last Friday at Center to get a idea of what the future ce.. isno business in the t now, Marty ovitz, president of Interactive Media told high schools. However, he assured students that it will form the basis of the new media. Currently, only one out of every ten households is connected to the Internet. "We should be talk'.ing to the nine out of ten that do ._not care," Yudkovitz said. The key to reaching a larger audience, according to him, is to give people better value for their time. With the current state of the Internet, first -time users usually have a reaction of great disappointment. "It's simply too slow, and it's boring, it 's frustrating," Yudkovitz explained. His solution is to make the Internet faster, easier to use, and more worthwhile. The first thing he would change, is the "http://" that begins every web site's address. "Make it go away!" he complained. Next, he would make sure that people were not wasting their time on worthless clutter. "If we are going to take your time, there had better be value there, " he added. Although he sees the Internet as the new medium of the next century, he does not see it as a r~placement for _the existing media of television and radio. Television will remain popular for two reasons, Yudkovitz said . First, television is a group activity; whereas, using a personal computer is usually done alone. Also, people look forward to certain television sh_ows airing at certain times. The Internet could be the gre1tt enhancement to radio, Yudkovitz said. People would be able to tune in stations from around the world instead of being limited to stations on the local dial. Yudkovitz also had some good advice for the future journalists, who seemed overwhelmed by this new media technology. "Speed, ,simplicity, and selfconfidence," he stated. "Don't talk about megabytes. Bring it down to simplicity." · The most important thing to have is a positive attitude, Yudkovitz said. Be dedicated and passionate about your work, and focus on getting along with other people .And, don't be affraid to start at the bottom.

L.. �~ ~-- 1 l' i!WS Page ·2 The Beacon Wilkes and -King's join to offer students a broader course selection B y R O B BOZZO NETTI E R T Special ro rhe Beacon Each year Wilkes University and King' sCollege enj oy a healthy ri valry in sports, student recruitment and academic experience. In contrast, both schools take part in a reci proc--al academic relationship in which they agree to share certain resources,and namely course offerings. The purpose of the agreement is to broaden students' options. For example , if a Wilkes student needs to take a course that is not being offered here, he or she may take it at King's and the credits will transfer and be added to their transcripts . The reciprocal relationship began in 1980 and each year it has been reviewed to make sure it is mL1tually beneficial for both schools. Furthermore, student reaction has been very positive, with one exception being complaints of conflicting semester schedules between the two s~hools. However, according to Dr. Jack Meyers, Wilkes Registrar, the cont1ict is being worked out for the spring semes ter. Meyers also explained that courses in business, dance and art departments are what attract King 's students to Wilkes. In fact, Professor Richard Fuller, the chai,man of Wilkes' art department, pointed out that a few King's -students actually fulfilled their major in art at Wilkes since there is no degree in this subject offered at King's. Professor Fuller added that many King's students easily assimilate to their new surroundings at Wilkes. Concerning how Wilkes students take advantage of this -arrangement, Dr. John Natzke, a professor of Socio! o gy , explained that approximately 12 · Wilkes students take criminal justice courses at King 's each semc'ster. Often these students arc sociology majors who wish to pursue a career in law enforcement. One Wilkes alumnus who made use of the Wilkes-King's aii-angern.ent in criminal justice was Paul Middleton who graduated in 1990. He is now a Sergeant in the Wilkes-BalTe Police Department. In regard to the arrangement between Wilkes and King 's, Professor Natzke claims, "It is the most s uccessful endeavor I've witnessed in this department in a long time." The ari-angement has in fact proved so successful that an identical relationship with College Misericordia will begin next year. Finally, in addition to Sergeant Middleton and many others, I have also taken advantage of the academic relationship between our school and King's and have benefited by being abk to pursue a minor in criminal justice, a field or study that has interested me for a long time but that is not being offered at Wilkes. Anyone interested in this opportunity to broaden their area or study, avoid schedule cont1icts. or increase their course options should contact the registrar for further information.

We _ha ve a brand new classroom office buildi ng and hopes, in_the future, for a new bookstore. The proposed downtown bookstor, is still up in the air. Wilkes, Kings and other organizations had a meeting on Wednesday, November 11 regarding the future of the joint bookstore. Paul O'Hop said, "more study is needed for this project." The extension of the greenway , a.k.a. The Fenner Qu1drangle, is another project that the university is currently involved in. A-II or th e sidewalks are in and hopefully, will be leveled out by next week. The Fenner Quadrangle .will also include n new fl ag pole and sun dial that will be added in the near future. The new grass probably won't be added until the spring. The grand opening for the pharmacy program was held on Sunday, November 3. Paul O' Hop commented that 400 people attended and they were impressed with the facilities. Hopefully , we will see other projects ocurring in Wilkes' future, but for now Wilkes is continuing to serve its students the best wa-y it knows how, by giving them the bes t facilities possible. l'cor 3S I - AMP ■ WRY ■ MIKAN B ■ s I S ■ N ERO 'o'A 'ij SI D L E• p T A• 's'Ew DA R K ■ A WE FR IN GE • M OR ASS L I N K IAPPLEPIE THE CINE ED GE TAG s WE ST _._._ ■■ 's'1ol HELP WAN ,= = ~ - ~ ; ~ - -EBJf:.

Boy, was I hungry. and boy, was I in a hun-y. In a hurry because I had to go somewhere, sure, but more in a hurry because I only had three minutes to get something to eat. Did I get something to eat in time to use my meal card? Sure. Was it worth the aggravation, watching four out of five workers sweep the floor while only one served the customers? Hell no. I mean, what were they doing, preparing for the evening rush? Guess so ... I reaHy don't haye much to talk about this week, and the fact that I have to get this article to The Beacon office in like two seconds doesn ' t really give me much time to think of a topic. If there's one thing worse than not having an idea, it's not having enough time to have one. Sound familiar? I think everyone is suffering a case of the end-of-the-semester blues. Someone actually told me that they couldn't wait for Christmas to get here. I agree only if I can skip the next month of work it takes to get to Christmas. Those of you that are gearing up for the holidays better just calm down, 'cause they're a lot farther away than you r:ealize. The next four weeks won't be full of Christmas cheer. They'll be full of people walking around like zombies, with coffee flowing through their veins instead of blood. You all know what I'm talking about. I was -up all night last night, and it's only the second week of November. It makes me want to cry, but at least I'll only have to put up with it for a little while longer. It's worth it, too .. .I'll be able to get my $80,000 piece of paper at the end of the year. For all you freshman out there·, either looking fcrward to or dreading the next three or four years, keep the faith. It's more good than bad. But make no mistake, it's hard. Is all the work worth it? The only person that can really answer that question is you. I think it is, but the only people that seem to give a damn about what I think are my friends and the people at Commonwealth (oops ... better strike that one from the record). Well , friends and neighbors , I have to cut you loose for now . You see, I have to go do about a thousand things if there's any hope of getting drunk tonight. Sorry if the article was a little seri ous, compared to last week's. . Things will get back on track next week, I assure you. It's just that I'm already late, and I'm so damn tired. Keep your chin up, people. We'll be able to eat some turkey soon. (I won ' t say anything about the week of turkey sandwiches afterwards.) Have a good week, and we' ll talk again soon.

They are also a means of gaining experience in the professional world. According to Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chair of the Communications Department, "Internships give you hands-on experience and they also allow you to see the professional world." In some instances internships could evenhelpstudentsgetjobsafter graduation. Professor Tom Bigler, before joining the Wilkes Communication Department, served as News Director at WBRE -TV 28 for 20 years. Bigler advises all of his students to take internships. "Take internships_and do as well as you can. At channel 28, an intern was there when a job opened up. They were in the right place atthe righttime, we knew the intern could do the job and they became our top candidate." Kevin was one of fouJ communications majors to internoverthesummerof1996. He interned with the Human Resources Department at Sears in the Frackville Mall. His main purpose for interning was to develop interpersonal and organizational skills. Kevin assisted the Director of Human Services in initial interviewing for the hiring process. He also had a hand in orientation training for new employees. Kevin attended weekly staff meetings and did on the job training with the Human Resource Manager. He was introduced to some of the payroll functions at Sears, and was shown how to fill out a 45/45A, an unemployment form. Kevin learned many newbusinessconceptsduring his internship. But most of all, he said,"It helped me develop interpersonal and organizational skills that I studied throughout · my fOllegiate years." Internships are available in all academic majors.

And just a short distance away you can see a msted out shell of what used to be a train car on the shore , and that is how you know you ' re at the spot of the Knox Mine Disaster. The Knox Mine Disaster happened in 1959 when coal mining underneath the river got too close to the river's floor.

There arc also several islands to be found on the Susqt!ehanna River. One of the two islands we passed was two miles long. According to our guide, there are reports of bear, deer, and other small game living on the island. The island is privately owned and is occasionally used by a hunti ng club. There are also sightings of eagles, hawks, ospreys, eg re ts an d hero ns on th e shoreline, where they can be found preying for food.

Up, up and away ... Letters to the Editor What I wouldn't give to be in the hot, Orlando sun right now. This time two weeks ago, that's where I was headed, yet as the snow roles in on the weather forecast, it all seems· so long ago. While everyone else was slaving away at last minute projects before Thanksgiving, I was given the opportunity to attend the National College Media Convention in Orlando, Florida, sponsored by The Beacon and The School of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Undergraduate Research Support Committee. What a way to spend fol!r days in November. When I left for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport at 5 · a.m. on November 21, the air couldn' t have been colder and flurries were making their way to this area. Orlando 's temperature, as you might imagine, was well in the 80's and sunny as a summer day. What a change from good 'ole Wilkes-Barre, PA. But it wasn't the weather that made the trip so enjoyable. Since my mom needed a break away from -real life as well, she too packed her bags and together we escaped to Walt Disney World, home of youi· favorite mouse. No, I'm not crazy for bringing along mom . She actually made the trip more fun. Since most of the schools who attended brought quite a large entourage, I was basically by myself for most of the day. I remember one day in pa11icular when the workshops lasted from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I don't think I spoke more than a word to anyone all afternoon. Boy is that a feat for a Communications major. Since so many of the students were interested in touring the parks, most of the workshops ended quite early in the afternoon. At night, we found extra time to relax and had no trouble in maxing out dad's credit card. Wait until he gets the food bill. Let's just say Planet Hollywood and the Portabella were definitely a far cry from the cafe. I have to admit that before I left, I was a little nervous about what to expect while in Orlando. I knew I had too much energy to sit in boring workshops all day and God only knows what me and mom could get ourselves into if left alone. Low and behold, the trip actually turned out to be very successful, both academically and socially. Though I didn't get the tan I so much desired, I did meet a few job contacts, I spent quality-time with my mom, and The Beacon has many more ideas to pull from next semester. Who knows, maybe I'll be the one on the Walt Disney payroll this time next year. Regardless, thanks to everyone who made this trip possible.

Talk to Page 5 OPINIONS Rendezvous: Backstage and Beyond with Donna Talarico and special guest Rebecca Mason · Last minute plans always turn o.ut to be the most fun. it was Tuesday, October 29. Yeah, I had a lot of work to get done, so I wasn't going , anywhere. But 98.5 KRZ was sponsoring a benefit Badlees concert at Montoursville High School to thank the city for being so supportive and helpful during the TWA catastrophe. I kept hearing about the event on the radio, but wasn't going to go. After a while, I just said "The heck with it! I love the Badlees and it's a free show! I'm going!" Now I had to find someone to go with because I did not want to make the haul alone. I didn't know ifl would have any luck though, it was 5 p.m. and to make the show on time, I'd have to leave by 5:30 p.m. · Logically, I asked my roommate first, but she had a major paper to do. Then I called about five or six people who also declined. ("What? In a half hour? No way! Montoursville? Will your car make it that.far? Sorry. Got too much other stuff to do," were the excuses I heard.) Finally, I got a hold of Rebecca Mason, a fellow Beacon reporter. She graciously agreed to tag along to the show. We left at about 6 p.m. (Yeah, a little late, but I found out the show was actually at 7:30 p.m., not 7 p.m. like I first thought. We would still be on time.) So, we set off on our journey to Montoursville. We talked about the usual stuff that females talk about in automobiles: guys, social events, gardening and anything else that came to mind. And, we learned a very important les~on: ALWAYS HA VE A MAP IN YOUR CAR WHEN TRAVELING! We got lost! Somewhere between Bloomsburg and Montoursville, we got off an exit too soon, thinking we went too far. We went up a one-way street the wrong way to this tiny grocery store in the hopes of some directions. So we went up to this man who looked knowledgeable . Rebecca asked: "Excuse me sir, could you tell us how, to ·get to Montoursville?" Then the guy says, "Where do you think you are now?" Duh! We're standing here talking to you! Where did you think we were? So I said "If we knew where we were, we wouldn't have asked, right?" He finally comprehended what we are asking and tells us a short cut to Montoursville. We thank the ever-so-helpful man and hopped back in my "luxury sedan". After asking directions about three more times, we found our way into the small town. Then, we had to find the school. That was the hard part. We passed this one building that resembled a school. We pu11 in . To our dismay, it was a cable company. Next, we turn up Arch Street, the street where the school supposedly was. It was a dead · end! So, went up the next block. This must be it! It's a big building with lots oflights and cars. Oh wait. Why are there airplanes here? Oops .. That was the airport. Okay. We decide we turned up Arch Street in the wrong direction. We turned around on the runway and backtracked. We ended up at th€! high school. Finally! There was no parkirig anywhere in sight, so we pulled up to the very front of the school and made our own space. Then we met up with some of our KRZ buddies and watched the Badlees! The show was cool. We had front row seats on the tloor,-which meant that we had an excellent view of the hot lead singer, Pete Palladino. We knew that we had too much trouble getting to Montoursville that we couldn't leave right after the show. No concert is complete without a backstage tour! I asked KRZ if I could go back with them (I work for their sister station and was on the Dream Team last year), but they had their chance before the show started. Okay. Plan B. We weaseled our way back there. The roadie gave us each a sticker and sent us through the doors to excitement, the FFA (Future Farmers of America)room. No siree, no farmers in there! Just the locally cultivated Badlees! Rebecca and I got 8 x IO glossy autographed photographs of the guys and also their "River Songs" CD signed. We even had some stimulating conversation with them for a while. They liked us! We were two happy campers., We won ' t get into the ride home, as it was equally nightmarish, but we were in good spirits. Let's just say that we tried to outrun the KRZ skybox and lost, as well as missed our exit in the process. And that's just the beginning. But we did go to Taco Bell for a midnight snack which was pretty neat. Meeting the Badlees was such an awesome experience! It's not everyday that you get to brush elbows with down-to-earth famous men like the Badlees. Getting there was just half the · fun. , If you would like to share a story about your brush with fame, contact me at talarids@wilkes.edu. �December 5, 199 OPINIONS Page 6 This Week in History December 4, 1783: George Washington bade farewell to his officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York City.

The men's quad com_pleted the race in 20 minutes, 40 seconds; four minutes behind the number one ranked quad team in the country. The finish is certainly a respectable one considering the relative inexperience of the Wilkes rowers and it definitely gives them something to shoot for in future races. All of the b_oats representing the Wilkes University Crew team performed well at the race. In fact, the men's novice eigh_t man boat finished within two minutes of some of the Division I varsity rowing times. When thefactthatWilkes University's crew team has been rowing together for only two months is taken into consideration, and that the majority of rowers on the team are freshmen, it becomes evident that Wilkes University ' s rowers have excellent potential to be top rowing contenders in years to come. Almost all schools have boathouses and docks of their own, but when Wilkes Crew practices they have to get into the Susquehanna knee high to launch the boat regardless of the weather. Crew members believe that this level of dedication leads to the athletic excellence that will help make the team one to be reckoned with. Next spring the crew team expects to be practicing at Harvey's Lake as early as the beginning of March. The team has been invited back to the spring race at Occoquan early next April, and this time the crew team will be far more prepared for the racing experience and familiar with the race course. The crew team is continuously looking to attract potential rowers and further e xpand the team.

The leuers expressed the need for a passageway to be developed between Waller N/ S Hall and Ross Hall. In order for this passageway to be made, parts of an existing brick wall needed to be taken down. The resident assistants felt that there was much need for this, not only for accessibility but for the resident student safety as well. I am writing this long-overdue letter to express appreciation on behalf of the resident assistants for the fine job that was done. The passage has already been used on a frequent basis by students. I often hear students saying that the administration doesn't care about the students concerns. This new passageway is an example of how untrue these comments are. The administration does care about student opinions. There are people on campus who are concerned and want to know how you think we can make our school a better place to live and learn. Speak up and let your voices be heard - people are listening and do care!

(For those of you that haven't seen it, you don't know what you're missing.) Welcome back everyone!!! Hope everybody had a great break. Mine was short, since I spent most of my time in this godforsaken place. I guess I thought I should spend as much time as I could around here, since I won't be here that much longer. Bad idea - the only thing more boring than Wilkes-Barre is Wilkes-Barre with no Wilk.e s students around. Anyone who's ever taken a class during break can attest to that. For those of you that haven't been around in the past five weeks, here's what happening in local Wilkes University news: 1. Anew $35 million capital campaign is soon to be · launched. At this stage of the game, a few large gifts of one and two million dollars have already been received, one of those gifts apparently coming from a former Wilkes student. Phone-A-Thon, eat your heart out! Maybe with all this money, they can come to my dorm and put some rock salt on my steps and pavement. Every time I go out, I take my life into my own hands.

The center will take approximately one year to construct, and inside sources ·tell me that the University is using a revolutionary new construction schedule which will allow the grass around the building to be planted during the warm months of the year so it will grow, unlike methods previously used dming the construction of Fenner Quadrangle. The debate still rages over the location of the new bookstore. Since I talked extensively about this last year in one of my articles, I won't beat it into the ground. After all, what do I care? I'll be long gone and won't have to worry about walking three blocks in the freezing cold to get my books for the spring semester.

The Pack defeated the not-so-surprising Carolina Panthers on the frozen tundra or Lambeau Field in the first NFC Championship Game in Green Bay since the legendary ·'Ice Bowl."

But, the problem with th~ expansion, as expressed by numerous officials at private colleges, is thatitcreatesunfaircompetition between private and state schools. "Clearly the plan is in Penn State's self-interest, which is fitting. However, it is not necessarily in the best interest of neighboring colleges, or of higher education for future Pennsylvania students," commented Misericordia's President Anderson in a press release. The main reason it is claimed to be unfair is because state schools, unlike private institutions, are able to keep their tuitions low with the use of taxpayers' dollars. Another big concern over the proposed expansion is program duplication. Many people are angry about the fact thattaxpayers' money may end up being allocated to creating four-year programs that are alreadyofferedatseveralofthe local schools. "The lower cost [of state schools with duplicate programs] may be a magnet to draw students to those cam puses," stated Wilkes University President Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth Where would our dollars better be spent then? Well, a popularsuggestionistosimply set the money aside to be available for more student grants and scholarships. This solution, according to some people, would be more taxefficient and beneficial to college students as a whole. All of the new worries that have surfaced because of this expansion plan will most likely force Pennsylvania's Governor, Tom Ridge, to appointaspecialcommitteeto re-examine the current education system. Independent private college officials have already been pressuring Ridge toexplorealtemativesforusing our state' s money that has been put aside for education. "One major response is why not PHEAA . . . a distributor of funds to students? It would be dispensable in a fair way," added Breiseth. Regardless of how the money is spent, officials at private and state-funded schools all generally agree that there needs to be more cooperation between private and public institutions. This joint effort would surely benefit the students as well as enhance the educational efficiency of the schools that are involved. ransfer stats-result in new recruiting ideas semester's orientation consisted we anticipated, but we are going The transfer student of scheduling, campus layout, to work very hard to raise and financial numbers and keep them at orientation was held on books, acceptable levels," said Bruce Tuesday, January 14th instead information.

But, the department is alive and kicking according to university officials. This past December, Wilkes faculty was asked to consider a proposal by a curriculum committee that called for the discontinuation of six languages with shrinking student enrollment. The faculty decided against this proposal since keeping the classes available requires no further cost to the university. According to Dr. Michael Lennon, Dean of Academic Affairs, rumors regarding the possible downsizing of the department are absolutely false. "The foreign language department has actually increased by 200 percent. Wilkes has reaffirmed its committment to the department by hiring two instructors, and installing new equipment in the language learning center." Dr: Walter Karpinich, proffesor and chair of foreign languages said, Wilkes has invested approximately $50,000 into the language learning center, upgrading the technology from cassette recorders to computer based equipment. "This cost is based on the acquisition of Power Macintosh computers, a laser printer, VCR's and laser disc players," said Karpinich. The school has received $300 from a Pennsylvania assistance grant used for new software and video materials. Karpinich further denounced the rumors, adding that the department is looking to improve satellite reception capability into the learning center, allowing students the opportunity to watch programs transmitted all over the world. PhOlos hr Karpinich is excited about Students are taking advantage of the new technologies atthe la the future of the department and the impacts improvements will have on students taking a foreign language. "Speaking a second language will enhance the students' marketab Karpinich added. spons as dis Engineering conference held at Wilke~ WILKES-BARRE-Recently, Wilkes University hosted the American Society For Engineering Education (ASEE) Middle Atlantic -Section Fall Regional Conference "Re-Engineering Education and Training for a Competitive Global Economy."

A few new buildings, well-known athletic programs, or maybe the personal touch of a small liberal arts school that is concerened with the well-being and education of its students? Wilkes can certainly offer these qualities in promoting itself as a University. But Wilkes· also heralds one thing that I tell you won ' t attract many prospective high school seniors or transfer students - a much discussed 16-20% tuition increase to balance the already exceedingly high budget. Though the final vote relies on the Board of Trustees decision during its February meeting, there has been talk on campus regarding the tuition increase and whether or not the increase will actually take effect. Who ' s to be concerned? At this point, everyone should be on their toes. While students and thier parents pocketbooks will mostly be affected, faculty is also taking an unf011unate · beating. Sugar-coated as "voluntary resignation," faculty has been persuaded to give up their positions if employed for over 15 years or if older than S-5. Since money is tight, it seems downsizing all aspects of the University, including eliminating faculty, may be the only plausible answer. So what happens if enough people don't concede to the faculty buy-out? Where does the money come from? As students, ..;.e should expect Wilkes to never be the same again. _ Yes, the Fenner Quadrangle is making progress and the Classroom Office Building is up and running. The new Student Union Building may just be out of reach. But none of this means a thing without any money to keep such progress alive. Over the last few semesters, Wilkes has taken a huge step in making the dreams of years past a reality for the present. But what really has happened is that while we have all become accustomed to the innovative idea of traditional "viewbook" campus life and education, it has all just been a tease. We're all banking on a University that may just be falling apait at its core. How many times in the last few weeks have you seen _ high school students, their families and tour guides roaming across campus to visit all that makes up what we know and love as Wilkes University? Did you ever wonder what they're being told to make them want to attend a school that is considering raising tuition by such a large margin? Have they been informed that a number of the faculty they see in passing may not be returning in the fall semester? As a student at Wilkes University and a sibling of a high school senior who hopes to attend Wilkes University, I'd personally like to know what's going on. How will these changes affect those students who plan to make a future at Wilke~? Furthermore, what should those who have invested years of their life and thousands of dollars in this -institution expect come fall of 1997? Since I am a senior at Wilkes, luckily these changes will not have an effect on my career. But I can't help but wonder what I would have done or guess what my parents plan to do now that they are faced with this dilemma. Though Wilkes University is a place to believe in, many enrolled students have already begun to research other options and high school seniors have begun to strike Wilkes from their lists of potential colleges. Can you honestly blame them? Letters to the Editor guidelines: Leffers should include your name and phone 1111111ber.

I understand the point that the editor was trying to get across to the Wilkes community, however I would like to clear the name of the Wilkes Universe and my own, I do not believe it was the intention of the Wilkes .Universe to try and sell the University with a picture of me in a dance costume. Wilkes University has recently found a tradition that they did not know existed - three girls that attended Wilkes have competed on the Miss America stage, and decided to do an article on it. I feel disgraced for what the editor of The Beacon had to say about the picture the Wilkes Universe placed in of.me. This picture represents all that I am. I am a dancer. I worked very hard to perform on the Miss America stage, and the picture in the Wilkes Universe shows just this. Many people on this campus know that I am a hard working student, but not many know that I am a dancer. I feel I have earned a certain respect from my coneagues and professors, an who say I shouldn't be ashamed of the picture in the article, although it seems thc1t it was the editor's intention to make me feel ashamed of what I do. I am proud to be Miss New Jersey. I am proud to have danced on the Miss America stage and I am proud of the picture the Wilkes Universe decided to use in their article.

Apparent ot a little I For those o n I tell yo1 othing I ha 'te when it ' Regina Frappolli News Editor Colleen Herron Features Editor Christine Gaydos Sports Editor Michael Noone Photo Editor David Parfitt Copy Editor Glenda Race Copy Editor Toni Oden To the Editor: I write to shed light on statements made in the January 23rd Beacon editorial concerning gender inequality. While I commend your initiative on opining on a most important social issue, I must point out that the conclusions you've drawn about the University magazine are unfair. ' As editor of the Wilkes Universe, I am immediately responsible for the content of each issue. Though much of the publication is reviewed by the University ' s senior administration, I made the decision 10 carry both photographs referenced in your editorial. To suggest that the University is conspiring to use images which subordinate women to "sen Wilkes University'' is not only inaccurate, it is unfounded. Further, while you evaluate the visual nuances of the publication, you have chosen to ignore the substance of the articles the images accompany. The cover photo supports a story best summarized in a quote by a Sordoni supporter who says, " a ga11ery tends to take on the personality of its director." The image on the cover was produced to illuminate that message and is reflective of the professional roles, not gender roles of gallery coordinator Nancy Krueger and director Stanley Grand. The second photo to which you refer is positioned under the headline "Wilkes Women Excel in Scholarship Competition" and accompanies an article which portrays Wilkes pageant contestants past and present as the ambitious, scholarly women they are. The article takes on the very anomaly you suggest: that the events praised for developing self-confidence in their participants also are criticized for their emphasis on physical appearance. I'm pleased The Beacon has chosen to address such substantive issues, however, I'm disappointed in this instance with your approach. Had you offered anyone connected with the magazine an opportunity to respond to your charges, you might have arrived at a different conclusion. re .

In 1938, she accompanied her father, a well-known doctor, to a conference in Paris and stayed for a year to study with Marcel Gromaire. Gromaire, she explained, "had the good sense to leave his pupils alone." Matthiasdottir then came to America in 1941 noted that once he made a very good trnnslation but he had somehow lost it, "like many things in life." Crocker-HmTis' s wife, Millie, played by Marie Sumski, pursues a younger teacher, Frank Hunter, played by David Kochak. • She is a woman married to a man she does not love and pursues men she knows do not love her. Crocker-Harris knows what his wife is doing because, "she never lies to me."

Thursday night the La.dy Colonels were the ones looking down on their opponent when they defeated Marywood College 88-74 in non-league action. Rebecca Baker scored a game high 29 po.ints while pulling down 16 boards. Other notables for the Lady Colonels were freshman guard Katie Watkins who dropped 15, including an impressive performance from the charity sttipe going nine for 11, and Lee Ann Azarewicz added 13 points and a game high six assists for the Lady Colonels. As for Marywood, Kerri Ruddy had a team high 16 points while teammate Theresa Hillman threw in 14 for her ball dub. Nicole McCormick added 13 points. The win capped off an impressive four game winni!'}g. streak for the Lady Colonels. Unfortunately, that winning streak wouldn't last long. Saturday night Wilkes found themselves at the bottom of the seesaw when they faced the Freedom League' s first place team and defending Middle Atlantic Conference champions, the University of Scranton Lady Royals. Scranton topped the Lady Colonels, 62-42, in front of a nice sized crowd at the Marts Center. The Lady Colonels' offense, which had been rolling as of late, was stymied by a tough defensive-minded Lady Royals ball club. Scranton flexed their muscles early, smothering the Lady Colonels' half court gaine. Wilkes was forced into four shot clock violations in the first half and another two of their possessions ended in bad shots after the lady Royal "D" held them until the last few ticks of the shot clock. Wilkes didn't fare much better in the second half. The Lady Royals held them scoreless for the first six minutes and they didn't allow the lady Colonels to score a field goal until 9:38 was remaining in the game . The Lady Colonels' woman in the middle, Rebecca Baker, responded abm~t the team's performance against Scranton, "I think that Scranton played well, we were lacking some of the unity that we're used to playing with." Tracy Zaykoski and Lee Ann Azarewicz led the way for the Lady Colonels each scoring 11 points. As for the Lady Royals, Jen Nish led all players with 14 points and Kelly Halpin chipped in 12 to pace Scranton on the offensive end. The Lady Royals improved to 13-2 overall and 5-0 in the MAC Freedom League with the win. The Lady Colonels fell to 5-7 overall and 2-2 in the MAC Freedom League. This past Tuesday the Lady Colonels fell to Lycoming 71-61. Jen Holt's 16 points paced the Lady Warriors. Watkins and Azarewicz each scored 12 points to lead the Lady Colonels. ve yea men's Rickn thee position, 100th C, ls defea Valley 8 olonels l r---------------------------------------------------~--- Banter in the Booth · .· with Michael Noone · Awash in the afterglow of an amazingly accurate Super Bowl prediction, this sports columnist turns his attention to college basketball rivalries. Classic confrontations such as Duke versus North Carolina have nothing on the Hope-Calvi n game. The rivalry between Hope and Calvin is unparalleled in Division III. It has been televised live in west Michigan since 1960. The game is so popular among resi of the Great Lakes state that in 1990 WOOD-TV pre-empted the State of the Union address by President Bush to show the game. Wednesday night's battle between Hope and Calvin was expected to shatter Division III attendance records with a sellout crowd of 11,668 in the brand new Van Andel Arena. One of the reasons for this rivalry is the close proximity of the schools. Hope is only 27 miles away from Calvin in Holland, Michigan, a town known for its ann tulip festival. Religious history also plays a part in the rivalry. Both schools are rooted in Dutch Calvinism. A rift in 1857 created the Christian ·Reformed Church, which founded Calvinism, from the present-day Reformed Church in America, with which Hope is affiliated. There was_considerable ill-will surrounding this separation. Even thought the split occurred 140 years ago, some of those same feelings are at the root of the basketball ri val_ry, which began in 1920. , .,. In reality that was only the first "official" game. On December 7, 1917 a group of disgruntled Calvin students calling themselves "The Rivals" agreed to play ag They lost 55-8 to the Flying Dutchmen. Things only got worse for the students after the game was over. The ~ivals were denied the right to take final exams, and the seniors were barred from commencement. And you thought the people in Indiana took basketball seriously. A mere 19 points separate the teams over the first 135 games. Calvin has scored 8,756 points, an average of 65.3 per game. Hope has scored 8,736 points, anave of 65.2 per game. That works out to a difference of just 0.141 points per game. The low score was a 26-11 Hope win in 1925, the high was a 104-102 Hope win in 1965. Calvin won the Division III national championship in 1992. Hope was runner-up for the national title last season.

In your closing paragraph, you state that women constitute 47% of the Wilkes population. In fact, women students make up the majority of all students at Wilkes (51 % of whom are women). Furthermore, a majority of graduate students (56%) are women and a majority of part-time undergraduates (60%) are women. Only among the full-time undergraduates are male students the majority, where they constitute 53% of all fulltime undergraduates with part-time undergraduate students there are as many women as men.

Wilkes opened the game with an 8-2 run behind Barrouk's transition baskets. Barrouk finished with a game high 32 points, tying his season high. The Colonels were ahead 74-73 when Caldwell's Ryan -Tremblay was fouled with two seconds remaining in regulation. Tremblay hit one of Hie two free throws to send it into overtime. In the extra period Caldwell outscored the Colonels 14-8. With the win the Cougars, a Divison II NAIA scholarship school, improved to 14-8 on the year.

To the Editor, I am trying to find out what happened to all the Wilkes students on Tuesday night. I checked with the library and they said there weren't any unusually large numbers of students there that night. I checked the t.v.. listings and the-re wasn't anything on that was a ';must see" and they certainly weren't at the Marts Center cheering on the men's and women's basketball teams. So where is everyone? Why aren't you at the basketball games? When I was a student here at Wilkes in the early to mid-eighties, a Wilkes-King's game meant everything. No matter what you were doing that night you made sure you went and cheered your heart out for the "Blue and Gold" over the "Red and Gold." You started cheering from the opening tip to the final buzzer. That's what we did even when the Colonels were not a very good team. But, now the Colonels are nationally ranked and the student turnout at games has been pathetic. Most schools would give their right arms for a team that is a contender for the national title. But, we here at Wilkes seem to take winning for granted all of a sudden. I have talked with some students who say they don't go to games because "Wilkes is only going to win anyway. Why bother going?" What a lousy attitude to have for your alma mater. It was so bad on Tuesday that the small group of students who came to the game from King's made more noise than those that were here from Wilkes. I felt like it was a road game. When the Wilkes women were beating King's, our fans did not react. When our men's team needed a boost when King's got close, again-nothing. What is wrong with our student body? Come to a game and make it hard on the opponents by cheering. Make some noise and "get into the game.~' I was just reading an article on Wednesday morning in USA Today about the fans at Wooster College of Ohio who have become the Division III version of the Duke "Cameron Crazies." These students never stop cheering. That is why Wooster is 108-23 over the last 10 years at home. A student from Wooster-is quoted as saying, "this place gets pretty rowdy. We pick out one person from the other team and give them hell ." Here at Wilkes it could be '"Marts Madn·ess" every game if we could only get the students to come and be involved just as the ,;Cameron Crazies" are at Duke and the Wooster fans in Ohio. There are just a few games left at home this season, and I hope the situation will reverse itself. The next ';huge" game is Monday night when the women play Susquehanna at 6 p.m. and the men are taking on Lycoming at 8 p.m. There should be a full house with our student body "shaking the rafters." The men's game will be a rematch of two of the top teams in the MAC and the nation and your support is really needed. Show me that I am wrong and that "Marts Madness" is alive and well at Wilkes University. See you on Monday at the game! Tom McGuire ;85 Sports Information Director To the Editor, While I commend members of the nursing department for their concern about the dangers of AIDS transmission and their observance of national condom week, I would like to note that the concluding paragraph of the article "Condoms, Condoms Everywhere" could lead to several misconceptions. Frrst, the phrase "give yourself and your valentine the best gift: safe sex" infers that sex can be seen as simply a "Valentine's Day gift" like a card from a gift shop or a box of chocolates. Sex is not the only way to show love. There are many ways to show love and affection without having sex. · Secondly, the only true "safe sex" is abstinence until marriage and faithfulness to your partner "til death do we part." , Finally, sex with a condom is "safer sex," but it is not completely safe. Abstinence til marriage is best, but if you choose to have sex it is extremely important to use protection. The nursing program students do have an excellent program for sexually active members of the community to utilize, but I believe that this oversight needed to be addressed. In the meantime, have a happy St Valentine's Day.

Long time no see! Yes, that's true ... those of you who actually read this column were compla~ning last week (at least four people asked me why the heck there was no Near Side) because of my absence. Sorry about that, but some things can't be helped ... especially when you're on the run from the law ... I hope everyone had a good time at Winter Weekend. I'm not going to sit here and bitch about the tug of war, or the fact that some wimpy freshmen team took first place. I'd just like to congratulate C.J. Copley and the rest of the Winter Weekend staff on the fine job they did this past weekend. This was one of the best years as far as activity participation goes, and they did their part to make it happen. My team took a well-deserved but disappointing second place, but considering the fact that I was more worried about being disqualified than winning, I should be happy with that. Besides, Winter Weekend is great, win or lose. When else could you start drinking at 11 :00 a.m. on Saturday morning and not be labeled an alcoholic? Okay, I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been keeping my New Year's resolution. Yes, that's right; the person you-' d never expect to see in the gym has. been going at least four and usually five days a week. You would think this is healthy, but most of my friends had heart attacks when • they found out. On a serious note, I want to talk about the current weight room situation here on campus. Did you ever see the little fire regulation sign that hangs on the wall of the weight room? It states that a mllJ!:imum of around 300 people (I think it actually says more, but I don ' t want to overestimat~) can fit down there. Then how come I can ' t even move when there are 30 people down there? Those of you that frequent the weight room know what I'm talking about. And when .there are only 20 people down there exercising, you can ' t get a bar becaL1se we only have, like , three or four of them. What are we supposed to do, use tomatoes and a toothpick like in the Tom and Jerry cartoons? If you don't lift using a free-weight program, I feel even worse for you. I think the machines on the other side of the weight room (except for the new triceps machine, the new bike and the two steppers) came straight out of a torture chamber. The fact that the cables are always broken on a few machines that can be used to your advantage doesn't help. The best device to use on that side of the weight room is the t1oor. At least you can do the ab crunches on it. For those of you that think I'm aimlessly bitching for no good reason, go to the weight room (if you don ' t already) and I guarantee you don ' t because the idea for this week's column didn ' t come from me. It came from all of the-r>eople I see every afternoon when I go to work out. They wanted me to say something about the nutrition and health scene in general at Wilkes, but complaining about the caf has been beaten to the ground. So all I' ll say is this: many Wilkes students, myself included, think that the weight room could use a little improvement. Some new equipment, another bike, a replacement for the bench that's ripped to shreds. Any type of improvement would be welcome, and definitely appreciated. Well, that's all for now. It' s good to be back, and thanks to all those that mentioned that they missed the column last week. Just remember: Valentine's Day is right around the comer. Bah humbug.

This last st~p could be a CD player that plays your song while you enjoy a candle light dinner. Your valentine may be miles away, and you may not have the opportunity to celebrate together. In this case, you could surprise them with a bus or train ticket that they can redeem whenever they get a free weekend. You might also send them out of the ordinary edible gifts. For example, heait shaped pizza or personalized candy with a sweet message only you two would understand. You may also be stuck for a gift idea if you just started seeing someone. Not sure what's appropriate? Simplicity is best. A long romantic dinner can be the best means of getting to know each other better. A relaxing walk on a clear night can also help you discover more about each other. Maybe you'd like to do something special for that certain person you only see occasionally. A surprise message in their campus mailbox or leaving a little package of their favorite treats at their door will surely do the trick.

Wilkes University Student Government is planning another forum following the February 27 and 28 Board of Trustees _ meetings.Immediately following the meetings, a release will be made avaiable stating the increased tuition rate. . By COLLEEN HERRON Beacon News Ediror As the noon hour approached,students concerned with rising tuition rates began to fill Stark Learning Center's room 101 with m '<ed emotions. A quiet crowd sat content, awaiting the question and answer forum set up by Wilkes University Student Government in hopes of putting to rest some recent misconceptions. Following a short introduction by Student Government President Paula VanFossen,Wilkes University President Christopher N. Breiseth addressed the audience. Most were hopeful that this would help stabilize a growing concern while others said that they were more wonied now than ever. "I feel pretty aggravated:' said one Wilkes junior telecommunications major. "I am aware that as a resident student, I have to pay an extra do1m fee; however, if the tuition goes up I'm not sure if I'll be able to pay it." President Breiseth asked students·to hold off if they are considerii:ig transferring. "Wait to see your financial aid package," said Breiseth. "There was great sensitivity in the financial aid office." Other students showed discontent for the future that they,originally planned to spend at Wilkes. "Why weren't we told?" asked a pharmacy major in response to President Breiseth 's speech during which he stated that the institution knew for two years that tuition could be on the rise. "It's already too late. We're stuck here paying the tuition and we really don't have a choice. '·There was never any secret," said Dr. Lennon as he explained to students in the pharmacy program that d_uring the last two years of their education they are considered graduate students and are no longer able to receive financial aid. As the hour drew to a close, the crowd's uneasiness began to show. Questions ranging from where the money would be spent, and how additional money would help the studenLi;; directly, arose. Issues dealing with whether the University leases or buys automobiles, and if fundraisers would be be considered as a possible alternative, were also tackled by students. ··we have to respond to what you think Wilkes ought to be:' said Breiseth. "·Your feedback is crucial and I encourage it."' Students interested in voicing their opinion about Wilkes can send e-mail to s11ggesr@wilkesl.wilkes.ec/11.

IABC adopted the idea of a monopoly board for a Tshirt fund raiser. With members of the "Wilkes Today" television program, IABC members went to local businesses, bars, restaurants, television studios, banks and many other places well known to Wilkes students, to buy s_pots on the "Wilkes" board. The board is located on the back of the T-shirt with the Wilkes logo in the center. On the front of the shirt, there is a "chance" card that reads "College is a game ... Life is a chance.'' Shirts go on sale before spring break, ai;id cost $12 for L and XL and $14 for XXL. The money raised from selling the T-shirts will be divided between the Communications Dcpa11ment Scholarship ·and the Thomas Shelburne Television Studio operating budget. Also, IABC is sponsoring a Big Brother, Big Sister Bowla-Thon team on March 22. This is an excellent opportunity for students of the University to show the community what \\'e can do for them. Last year's Big Brother, Big Sister Bowla-Thon had a good turnoi.)t, but IABChassurpassedtheamount that · was raised last year by getting 35 Wilkes students to participate. "The Bowl-a-Thon is a great way for communication students to have fun, raising money for a good cause and watch Dr. Kinney and Dr. Elmes-Crahall try to show off their bowling talents," said Melissa Matuszkiewicz, president of IABC. IABC is one of the largest professional oi•ganizations for people in advertising, public relations, organizational communications and marketing . Wilkes established its student chapter in 1990.

And the outcome was ·in~. I found myself almost understanding the pie; behind the tuition hike. Notice, I did not say I with the increase, but rather I'm now seeing it from the ide. te1ms of technology and specific educational programs ,Wilkes could very well be compared to a prestigious such as Lehigh University. One major difference, th anthe number of students attending,·is that Wilkes J,000 to $5,000 less, which puts, as stated by th,'"financial pressures on Wilkes," tudents at Wilkes deserve quality programs," he added. we're struggling to keep the prices as low as can be, need some breathing room to feel_ secure." most students do, I wondered where the ihousands of we're now spending to attend Wilkes are going, but 1ingly enough, I did come to reali7.e that the money is dispersed in the appropriate manner. put it in simple terms, as of last year, the Board of sallowed Wilkes to bon-ow $2 million dollars from rve account, without having to pay back the funds. rto do so, Wilkes had to come up with a revised plan for the 1998 school year. Money was tightened ueezed from all areas possible to save enough funds . we have the shrinkage of personnel aiso known as pponive resignation plan.·' Any senior faculty and/or emhcr 55 years or older or those employed at Wilkes rnhan 15 years, were given a ·'generous offer."

While these figures seem extreme to the yperson, as far as running a university goes, this is re near enough to cover the adeqt~ate costs. where does our money go? For starters, as of late early summer, the proposed Student Union building iin construction. In addition, talk of the Pickering iown is still being considered.

How's everyone doing? Don't worry ... only a few more days until break ... and so the countdown has begun. Surprise, surprise, I actually have something on my mind this week. More of a question, actually, but let me give everyone a little background first. Those of you that follow my column know that I opened the semester with an article about the $35 million campaign about to take place at Wilkes. During this article, I made a smart-ass remark about my dorm steps not having enough rock salt on them. Lo and behold, the next day I couldn ' t even open my front door due to the mountain of rock salt on my steps. Not that I'm complaining; neither myself nor my residents have to worry about slipping on ice outside my dorm until the next Ice Age hits. For my next trick, I wrote a little piece on how you can't move in the weight room if more than 30 people are there. Remember the operative word here is 30. The next week, someone who shall remain anonymous told m·e to go down to the weight room and look at the maximum capacity sign. Lo and behold (sorry, but I don't get to use that phrase often), a new sign had been put up, proclaiming MAXIMUM CAPACITY 30. Pretty funny, huh? Well, I thought so. But I only have one question. I address this to the person responsible for either of the above incidents: were you being sarcastic, as I often am, or were you actually paying attention to what I was saying? Obviously, I am more interested in whether or not the sign in the weight room was a gag or a serious evaluation of how many people can fit in there. Rock salt doesn't really concern me ... only when I can·t open my front door because it's piled so high . If whoever did either of these things is reading this, I invite you to write a letter to the editor in response to my questions. I really am curious as to the real reason why the sign went up in the weight room. You can even write it anonymously - make sure you still put your name on it (we can ' t publish it without a name) and request that the letter be printed without the name. Don't vVOITY, it'll get printed, more likely than not. So, whoever you are, whether it be a disgruntled facilities worker ( a lot better than a disgruntled postal worker, isn't it?) or the gym's director, I ask you kindly to respond. If it's just going to be a sarcastic exchange of words (or actions) that' s fine. No one likes a joke better than me. But if you are (and this goes for anyone else "in charge" out there) taking me seriously, let me know. A lot of students have a lot of things on their minds, and I believe they would use my column as a forum for their concerns if they knew that I was actually being listened to. Well, have fun during break, everyone. All the midterms are done, all the papers are printed. Take a break, be careful, enjoy yourself (at least until you pass out from the combination of intoxication and heat exhaustion). I'm starting to sound like an advertisement. Maybe I'm studying the wrong profession. Not like I could do anything about it now. Spring commencement is only 79 days away. Can you tell I'm a little excited? That's all for now Wilkes University. We'll talk again soon. Have a good week! -vvith Amy Ellis and photos by].].

It is tasteless. It is odorless. ·It is colorless and thus can be easily slipped directly into someone's drink. Most victims will feel its effects in 15 minutes; although it takes a l'ull hour to feel the total impact. The drug causes amnesia, unexplained drowsiness, dizziness and confusion. Therefore victims have difficulty remembering what happened while they were "high". Its effects can last up to 10 hours, but is not traceable after 24 hours. Since it is illegal in the United States most buyers get it on the streets for $1.50 to $3.00 per pill. What is most alarming about this drug is that most people who take it do it involuntarily. Most who purchase it do it with the intention of rape. To reduce the risk of "substance related rape,'' crisis centers advise taking the following precautions: · •Never leave a beverage unattended. •Never take any beverages, especially alcohol, from persons you don't know or trust. •Never accept open containers at parties. •Only accept drinks from bai1enders, waiters and waitresses. There have never been any "roofie-related" rapes are W.ilkes or King's. "I've worked in the emergency room at WilkesBarre General Hospital and I've never seen any cases or it," said Diane O'Brien, coordinator or Health Services. Mark Sowcik, director or Campus Counseling said, Tve never seen any cases in Wilkes-Barre or on campus.'' Most students on campus are not even aware or this drug. When asked what their reactions to "roofies· · were, both males and females were appalled with the idea. One male student even called it disgusting. While it is comfo11ing to think that it isn't as common at Wilkes as it is at larger universities, students should still be aware of Rohypnol.

It gives us the important knowledge you opp01:_~umty to get personal with them. · In addition to class field trips to such places as The Times Leader and WBRE-TV Channel 28, each week the class has a new speaker from a different realm of the media. When asked who their favorite speaker has been so far, those students interviewed unanimously said they enjoyed Tom Tidey, sportscaster from WNEF Channel 16. "Tom Tidey was the best not only because he represented my field of interest, but because he was very personable, " said Rich Williams, sophomore communications major, "He gave us insider information on the field and what competition is really like." "I didn't think a sportscaster would impress me, but_he was down- to- earth and entertaining to listen to.'· said Ellis. Through offering this class, Nolfe has provided her students with the invaluable experience or interacting with mentors.
