The theme of a yearbook must capture the spirit of that year - what makes it stand out from all the rest - yet, the theme must be chosen early to aid in the design of the book and still remain relevant at the end of the year. Numerous ideas were discussed by the Amnicola staff; brainstorm.1.ng sessions were held, and even a contest was opened to the student body to find a theme. Although a number of possible themes were suggested (including song titles and nostaJ.gic phrases) none were guaranteed to still be important to campus life at the close of the 1991-92 school year.

CAMPUS - This year, the Wilkes Tomorrow Campaign exceeded its set goal of eighteen million dollars. This campaign began in 1986 and was originally planned to la.st for a five year period. However, in February of 1989 it was obvious that the goal would be surpassed. As a result, the campaign was extended to a, six year period with a twentythree million dollar goal. The funds ra.ised a.re to benefit the school, its students, faculty, and the general public. The Arna.ud C. Ma.rte Sports and Conference Center was built with the help of these funds.

Escarge, Staff Writer WILKES CAMPUS - This past Fall many students returned to classes at Wilkes and found that some major renovations were made over the summer. This project, which took about two and a half months, included such buildings as Sterling Hall, Sullivan Hall, Stark Learning Center, and the campus bookstore. State of the art equipment was installed in the Physics, Biology, and Chemistry labs in Stark. In addition, the faculty offices in these departments were renovated. The bookstore underwent major remodeling both inside and out. A ramp was added to the outside of the building to allow access for handicapped individuals. The bookstore had a · new look when students returned for the Fall Semester. The inside of the store was changed to improve not only ap·p ear an c e but more important, ly,overall service. These renovations can best be described as a step in the right direc- · tion for the University. Stephen Pizzano at work in the newly renovated Chemistry Lab.

Money from this campaign is also used for scholarship and faculty endowments, which enable more students to afford the rising cost of a college education and faculty members to be compensated for time, energy, and support in making the University what it is. These funds also go towards the Annual Fund which is used to cover the day-to-day expenses of the University. Under the direction of Thomas B. Hadzar, Vice-President for Development, this campaign solicits such funds from the Board of Trustees and those closest to the University - the students. It has reached out to alumni in over twenty cities to solicit funds on a one-to-one basis.

Acid Scare at Wilkes by SUSAN DRAUS, Co-Editor STARK LEARNING CENTER - Classes in Stark Learning Center were interupted Wednesday, September 18, when the Scranton Police Department's bomb squad arrived to dispose of a container of potentially explosive chemicals. Students were evacuated and the container was moved across the street to the river bank where it was later safely detonated at 4:36 p.m. Picric acid is an organic compound once commonly used to identify other chemicals in experiments. Dr. Faut, Head of the Chemistry Department, says that the compound has since been replaced by safer testing methods. Employees discovered the container August 14 while renovating the chemical storage facilities. If the container were opened, the dust that collected in the cap could have created friction, causing the container to explode. The container was placed in a lead-lined, cement-walled vault used to store radioactive material until a way was found to dispose of it properly. The compound could have been rendered harmless by ''rehydrating" the mixture by drilling a hole into the container and adding water, but a New Jersey firm refused. Officials decided to have the bomb squad use blasting caps to detonate the compound. �Wilkes Receives Largest Monetary Gift Ever by LORI TRUMAN, CoEditor Rodan.o's became a popular hang-out for Wilkes students and graduates aJike.

By Jean Nepa, Copy Editor CHASE LAWN - Forty groups participated in this year's Club Day, which took place on September 5, making it the most successful in recent years. Club Day has become a tradition at Wilkes, providing clubs with a means of showing potential members what the club is all about. It also benefits the students by giving them the opportunity to talk with club members and ask questions about the organization. ''This was the largest and most successful Club Day that I've ever seen," said Michael Nolfe, Coordinator of Student Activites. Students showed their spirit through eye catching stands, displays, and attractions. Highlights of the day included caricature drawings sponsored by the Programming Board, a gravity chair presented by the Physics Club, and the always flamboyant Cue-n-Curtain rubber chicken. The Student Government clown welcomed students by passing out balloons, while the Martial Arts Club members entertained the crowd by breaking solid wood with their bare hands. "Just about every club I spoke to seemed very happy with the number of new members," added Nolfe.

Honoring the most recent Wilkes graduates and officially beginning the 1991-1992 academic year, the ceremony was held on August 29 in the Henry Gymnasium of the Marts Center. During the exercises 126 graduates received their degrees, 77 of whom were Master's degrees and 48 were Bachelor's degrees. Most of those who received their Master's degrees were not the traditional twenty-something students, but rather working professionals with families who advanced their education on a part-time basis. President Christopher N. Breiseth welcomed the 126 graduates to the 21st century and challenged them to become "world citizens." While changes were taking place all over the world, particularly in the Soviet Union where the reigns of Communism were beginning to loosen, President Breiseth commented," ... we now know that an era has ended. The Cold War is over. A new era has begun.'' Keeping with the world view, Breiseth advised the graduates, "Whatever your future occupation, your future employment, opportunities will increasingly be defined in international terms.''

WILKES-BARRE- Into The Streets is a national program designed to introduce more students to thoughtful community service and to provide learning experiences on the subject of volunteering. Our Wilkes University students, along with members of the community, took part in this important program on Saturday, November 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Student coordinators from Wilkes included, Lori Fuller, Suzanne Trosko, Michele Corbett and Wayne McDonnell. Efforts from Dean Allen, Mary Martino and other faculty, helped this program get underway at Wilkes. "The point of Into The Streets," stated Suzanne Trosko, "was to give students a day to see what community service is like and try to get them to make a commitment.'' Four issues were selected for the focus of Wilkes students: Children and Youth; Education/Literacy; the Environment; and Housing, Homelessness and Hunger. On the issue of Children and Youth, a Halloween party was planned for the Children of O'Karma Terrace. The party took place in the Student Union Building and provided the kids with two hours of fun shared by volunteers from Wilkes.

An additional activity planned was "Story Hour," where the REACH program, a ministry dedicated to helping youth who have no where to go while their parents work, had Wilkes students read stories, play games and entertain the children. Addressing the environmental concerns, Off Campus Council, Student Government and ROTC helped clean up the neighborhood in and around the Wilkes campus. E.E.S. cleaned up the soon to be designated nature trail, "The TUBBS," along route 115, while the Biology club mantained a clean environment near the Cross Valley Expressway. Last but not least, residence halls collected bottles and cans to be taken to the Allen Industries recycling center. To alleviate the problems of Housing, Homelessness and Hunger, the CEO helped Wilkes volunteers move furniture and clean the homes of the elderly while the Sociology club took part in Feed A Friend, distributing boxes of food for the annual collection. Into the Streets concluded with a dinner and dance in RUMOURS, sponsored by the Multi-Cultural Club, with proceeds benefitting the Habitat for Humanity and Hunlock Creek Project. The dinner gave the various groups the opportunity to speak about what they had done that day and how it affected each person as an individual. Hopefully, a day such as Into The Streets will continue every year, so people will start to feel the need to volunteer such as our students did. ori Fuller, and �HALLOWEEN ''HAUNTS'' WILKES CAMPUS By LORI TRUMAN, Editor WILKES UNIVER. CAMPUS - Wilkes was overrun with spirits this Halloween as several campus organizations sponsored ''fright-night'' activities. Dennison Hall became the site of "The Evil Estate, The Nightmare on Franklin Street" as both Wilkes and King's Circle K members, along with many area high school students, converted the vacant building into a haunted house. The "Evil Estate" ran from October 25-31 and was a huge success. Money raised was donated to the "Habitat for Humanity" program. Commuter Council and IRHC sponsored a "Mocktails-Halloween Dance" on Saturday, October 26th, in Rumours. Students enjoyed a variety of snacks and mocktails in honor of National Alcohol Awareness Week. Music was provided by the band, "Strand". Prizes, such as cash and free tickets to the haunted house, were awarded for the best costumes. And of course, what would Halloween be at Wilkes without the usual costume parties at many off-campus apartments. · Numerous scary activities took place at apartments on Barnum Place, South Street and Sullivan Street and featured such characters as Playboy bunnies, cavemen, and the gang from Sesame Street. Adding to the ever-present fear of Halloween night was the nation-wide rumor of a huge massacre to occur on a college campus in the northeast section of the country. This tale stemmed from a prediction by Nostradomas, a famed prophet from thousands of years ago. Panic spread across campuses up and down the east coast. Thankfully, no such massacre occurred. The dance, parties, haunted house and even the fear of a massacre combined to provide a good time, a good scare, and a great Halloween. Is that Tom Whille "dressed" as a jester? Tf.f! !Vtt. !STAT!

The prospects for a full Animal Behavior class look promising for next year, as many students have already expressed an interest in enrolling in the class. An educational weekend trip sparked by Dr. Steele's enthusiasm has turned this Biology class into a great educational experience. Students from Dr. Steele's Animal Behavior class gather for a group photo at the Lynn P. Meyerhoff Auditorium in Baltimore.

No matter what religious or ethnic background you are from, Thanksgiving is the time to count our blessings in the company of family and friends. The International-American Club held the sixth annual International Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, November 24. Although traditional turkey was the main course, the rest of the dinner was anything but traditional. Ninety-six students and faculty members from seventeen countries contributed dishes from their homeland. Replacing mashed potatoes and stuffing were Tandoori chicken, Iraqi rice, Egyptian potatoe casserole, and Japanese vegetables. Many students arrived in traditional dress Members of the International Student Organization who helped adding to the color and diversity of the plan and host the dinner. event.

Marts Center. Carvey, one of the most popular comedians on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," performed some of his famous characters for a packed house of 2100. During the 90-minute performance, Carvey went to comedic-lengths to perform the piano routine "Chopin' Broccoli" and an imprompto ballad entitled "Cindy and Mike," after two audience members. Opening for Carvey was a fell ow SNL comedian David Spade. Spade, on stage for twenty minutes, took full advantage of the short period to warm to the audience with his versatile style. His performance included skits about drivers, women, his family, and an extremely accurate impression of Michael J. Fox. He offered the men in the audience some advice - "girls who wear 'scrunchies' are evill" Both comedians had the audience rolling in the aisles and eagerly awaiting the "appearance" of Dana's most popular character the ''Church Lady.'' Garvey's portrayal of the pristine, judgemental mature woman provided enough laughs for an encore presentation and a fitting ending to a night of fantastic comedy. "Well ...isn't that special?!"

CAMPUS - The onset of winter means more than just final exams to Wilkes students. Between long study sessions, all-nighters, and endless pots of coffee, many students find the time to release tensions as well as prepare for the up-coming holidays that await their return home for break. Christmas activities begin with the "acquisition" of a tree. Once this is accomplished decorating begins. And do the students decorate! Lounges, windows, hallways, and doors, as well as individual rooms are strung with lights, tinsel, ornaments, and the occasional mistletoe. Holiday foods are prepared, cookies are baked, and gifts are exchanged before the students leave for break. Traditions begin, are upheld and passed along as everyone gets into the spirit of things. Many off-campus residences hold gatherings before departing ranging from the small and private to the larger open boistrous celebrations. Matt Troutman briefly pauses Heather Noel's name fits right in with the up-coming season. She and James Wright spend a little holiday time together at an apartment gathering.

Tom Mooney, who served as co-captain along with Jason Langdon, said, "The attitude was better. We didn't give up any games. We played some tough teams and kept the scores close." A key ingredient for the Colonels' highlights was that Coach DeMelfi put freshmen and sophomores in the games. The reason, coach states, is that "their experience will be helpful in the coming season.'' Mooney added, "If the attitude stays the same, next year's team should do well." Receiving honors in the Middle Atlantic Conference are Steve Endres, Joe Enders, and Jason Langdon. Lou Emanuel warms up fort #73 Jason Langdon- Jr. Captain. 1991 Wilkes University Football Team.

The team posted a mark of 16-5-1 in the '91 season, in route to breaking many long-standing University records. Among the milestones reached by the team this year were: most wins in a season(l6), most shutouts in a season(l3), and the team's leading scorer, Paul Jellen, broke the school record for most goals in a season(2O). Along with these honors, the Colonels also earned the title of Co-Champions of the Northeast Division of the MAC. Steve Maloney also broke the school's single-season assist record with 14 assists and ended his four years with another Wilkes record: 34 career assists. Senior Ron Rainey and Jell en were also selected to First Team All-MAC honors, while teammates Chris Dahm and Maloney grabbed Second Team All-MAC selections. Senior T.R. Andrake expressed his feelings about his last season, "We just had a great year, especially by breaking the record (for most wins). As a team, we were all close and really worked as an efficient unit." The colonels entered this season as the defending ECAC Southern Division Champions. Junior Phil Joyce in action. After kicking their way through another successful season, the Colonels put themselves in the ECAC's semifinal round, ready to def end their title. Ironically, the Colonels found themselves pitted against the very team they defeated last year for the title- Frostburg State. Unfortunately, this year the luck was with Frostburg. The Colonels were defeated 3-2 after a valiant comeback effort. (cont. page 37) Chris Dahm steals the ball f posing team.

The Wilkes women put forth a commendable 7-8-2 record. Although '91 was not a winning season it was certainly a memorable one. "We definitely played better quality hockey than our record shows,'' explains senior member Lindsey Krivenko. "The important thing is that we had a lot of fun. We were very team oriented, and the personalities of our team just worked well together." Fellow senior Loretta Carnival agrees, "Being on the team was hard work, but a lot of fun. Everyone has a strong sense of teamwork." While the Lady Colonels were enjoying themselves, they were also hard at work playing topnotch field hockey, as evidenced by several honors garnered by the team. Amy Antinnes and Lindsey Kri venko were selected as MAC All Stars. Antinnes, a senior and the team's top scorer, was also awarded the "Offensive Player of the Year'' award. Krivenko was honored with the "Defensive Player of the Year" award. Newcomer Amy Pyle was awarded "Outstanding Freshman" status as well. Overall, the players agreed it was the outstanding coaching by Addy Malatesta which led to such success. "Addy is more than just a coach," explained Loretta Carnival, "she's a good friend as well." Obviously, teamwork, superb leadership, and true enjoyment of the game all contributed to this year's success as well. Krivenko finishes, "As a senior, leaving the team was terrible- one of the saddest things I've had to do. It's tough to let go of such a great experience.''

HENRY GYMNASIUM - The 1991 season for the Wilkes Volleyball team turned out to be a different year than anticipated by many of the players. It was not a season of great success but a season of learning, togetherness, and frustration. The team went through many adjustments during 1990-91. After being assigned two new coaches last year, the team was ready for a stable season; instead, the players had to adjust to the style of two new coaches once again. It took some time before the coaches and players understood one another and began to work together. "Practically the whole season," stated senior Kathy Monahan. This is where the togetherness and frustration came from. Kathy stated, "A Wilkes volleyball team has never been so close together as players and friends in the past two years. The team pulled together to help one another learn the game and to help each other through the frustration of a new head coach." All in all the season was a learning experience - learning how to deal with people and new coaches.

RALSTON FIELD - Over the past four seasons, the Wilkes women's soccer team has been building a solid program for the future. But this season, they had more to prove. When the Lady Colonels began this season, their expectations were high. The team's balance of new faces and seasoned veterans produced a recordsetting season. Under four-year Head Coach Kathy Miller, the team broke the school record for most wins in a season, establishing a new mark at five wins. This was quite an accomplishment considering the youthfulness of the program. Four captains lead the team to the new mark. Seniors Denise Carson and Dawn Hosler will be missed on the field next year, while two juniors Diane Gibbs and Kelly Bruegger will return for one more season. Overall, the Lady Colonels can look back on this season and realize that not only did they build for seasons to come, but they molded together as a team and established a new mark to set their goals for the future. The Lady Colonels prepare to block the kick of the opposing team. 1991 was an outstanding season for the Lady Colonels soccer team.

With Wilkes students and community members battling for better coverage of their viewpoints in the local papers, apartment parties were toned down a bit. The parties still raged on, but students took care to keep within the confines of their apartments and control the noise level (descriptions of Barnum St. aside). Relations between Wilkes Students and the com munity have increased in importance as more stu dents vacate the residence halls for the freedom o apartment life. "Moving off-campus was a really good decision for me. I had a great experience in thi dorms but I doubt I could ever go back to dorm liff now," stated Junior, Missy Chinchar. If the trend to move off campus continues, r lations between Wilkes and the local community wi be making headlines for years to come.

Becky Steinberger and Jadi Willison spend time between classes 1n Stark lobby With other commuters. ~ STARK LOBBY- Being a commuter can be a rather adventurous experience. For many it means driving anywhere from five minutes to over an hour each way. Then, the desperate struggle to find a parking space begins. Some are lucky enough to receive parking permits for the lots located on campus, but then you must arrive early enough to stake claim to a parking place. For those who are not lucky enough to have a parking permit, or those late arrivals who can't find an empty space on a University lot, street parking is always an alternative. Now the commuter prays for enough change to make it through all his classes without getting a ticket and enough time in between classes to replenish the meter. Commuter life does have its advantages, though. Commuter students can still enjoy home-cooked meals, they don't get homesick, and can usually have their laundry done on a regular basis with no additional costs. They don't have to worry about packing and unpacking and they don't have to wait for the weekends or holidays to go home. Commuter students can usually be found in the SUB, Stark Lobby, or the library, especially when papers, projects, and homework are due. Some commuters spend more time at school than at home depending on their course load and a variety of other options that are available to them. Many events, such as bus trips, are sponsored by the Commuter Council and are open to all students, not just commuters. Then, there are always the off-campus apartment parties and all of the activities that go along with having friends that live at school. Being a commuter can be annoying at times and exciting at others, but it is never boring. 77 �CIRCLE. CLUBS &. ORGANIZATIONS ART&:.

Cue and Curtain is a campus club which was organized for students of all majors to get involved with theatre at Wilkes. Among other projects, each year the club stages its own production, usually a children's show. Following the tradition of children's shows such as "Everybody, Everybody" and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,'' this year the club chose a new children's musical by Maurice sendak called "Really Rosie." Not only did the show help to raise funds for Cue and Curtain, but it also introduced the excitement of theatre to children in the community. The club also gets involved in the bigger theatre department productions and hopes, in the future, to sponsor alternative theatre at Wilkes as well as continue with the more traditional shows. 79 �BLACK STUDENT COALITION Members of the Black Student Coalition shown Row 1: Tamika Spady, Tawanda Sanders, Ana Guzman, Teresa Innis, and Corby Swan.

The Black Student Coalition is a diverse group of students with the united purpose to promote better ethnic understanding, cultural awareness, and inter-racial appreciation, not only on the Wilkes University campus, but also in the community at large. The organization is therefore committed to the development of, or the participation in programs which instill racial understanding, awareness, and appreciation. The group participated in a number of activites this year including the Homeless Dance, Career Day, the Black History Play "Sister in the Name of Love", the presentation of Frederick Douglas, Cherry Blossom Festival and Multicultural Awareness Week. They also held fundraisers such as hoagie sales, Kiss-agrams for Valentine's Day and basketball tournaments.

Besides having a great time, the members are also introduced to prospective career opportunities and related fields of study through speakers, trips, and other activites. The club was very successful this year with approximately 25 active members under the strong leadership of Kathy Flaim, President; Vice-president, Michele Corbett; Treasurer Rima Saad; and Secretary, Shannon Scheuren, and the valuable guidance of advisors, Dr. Ken Pidcock and Dr. Mike Steele. The club met every Tuesday at 11:00 in their club room. The club took a number of trips including one to Hawk Mountain to observe birds of prey, and a trip to the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

IABC The Wilkes Chapter of the IABC (International Association of Business Communicators) is one of three in Pennsylvania, and was formed in 1990. Wilkes IABC is a professional organization that is open to all business and communications majors. Over the past year IABC has been very active. It has hosted two voter registrations and a career fair, where four Wilkes graduates attended to discuss the transition from college to a full-time career. Wilkes IABC has also worked with the downtown merchants. In November the club sponsored a bowl-athon which raised money for the Domestic Violence Women's Center and the !ABC's treasury. Downtown merchants donated gift certificates and prizes and in return IABC members helped with their Christmas promotion. On Earth Day, April 22, IABC hosted a display which featured aluminum can crushing, emphasized the importance of products that minimize packaging, and promoted local merchants who practice green marketing. Faculty advisor for the chapter is Jane ElmesCrahall, Assistant Professor of Communications at Wilkes. Donna Sedor, Communications Manager for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Partnership serves as professional advisor.

Although at Wilkes a relatively short time, Professor Kirk Bush saw the need for an EKN chapter and was the driving force behind establishing the Kappa Beta Chapter. The initiation ritual was conducted by James D'Arcy, the current National President; Robert Arehart, immediate past National President; Dr. Kirk Bush, Chapter Faculty Advisor; and Timothy Sichler, a visiting Assistant Professor at Wilkes. Six faculty members and thirteen students were inducted into the newly formed chapter as charter members. The chapter officers are: Jeff Webster, President and Recording Secretary; Kimberly Karrott, Vice-President and Treasurer; Michael Miller, Corresponding Secretary and Bridge Correspondant. The Kappa Beta Chapter hosted a farewell dinner for the graduating electrical engineers. The highlight of the dinner was a teacher's roast, conducted by the graduates. The chapter is hoping this will become an annual event. Shown in the first row is Kimberly Kinney winner of the Manuscript contest, 1st place poetry,; Amy Basham, winner 2nd place short story.

The purpose of the class officers and representatives is to act as a liaison between the University and the class. The officers also get together to plan events and fundraisers throughout the semester. The sophomores kicked off the year on Club Day in September. Datamatch proved to be profitable and has proven entertaining. The event has been scheduled to be included in the agenda for years to come. The class also ordered class t-shirts featuring the top ten reasons to go to Wilkes. The class participated in the Cherry Blossom Festival. The biggest event that the sophomores participated in was the St. Patrick's Day Parade. The sophomore volunteers took a month out of their schedules in order to devote unlimited hours into the first float Wilkes University has ever produced. It was a warming experience, that the officers hope to include in next year's schedule. The float received publicity from the area TV stations and a first page article in the BEACON. A special treat came to the sophomore officers from Trustee Clifford Melberger. The ten elected class representatives were invited to a luncheon with Mr. Melberger. At the luncheon the students received a tour of the company, Diversified Records, and they also were given the chance to express their views about campus life.

Earth Conservancy by WENDY RAUGHLEY, Staff Writer Wilkes' sophomore class sponsored a float in this year's St. Patrick's day parade held in Wilkes-Barre. LUZERNE COUNTY- The Earth Conservancy is trying to reclaim the bankrupt Blue Coal Mine land in Luzerne County. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization which plans, according to Dr. Umid Nejib, to "develop innovative technologies which are economically feasible and self-supporting, and will capitalize on regional expertise and resources to meet its objectives." In other words, this project will use resources in the Wyoming Valley to benefit the nation, as well as the Valley. The Valley, however, will be the first priority. The Conservancy's first step is to use the 15,000 acres of land belonging to the bankrupt Blue Coal Mine to build an Applied Research Center whose main purpose is to develop and commercially market portable water jet technology.

An actual fire did break out on the 5th floor, however, forcing its residents out at approximately 5:30 a.m. Bill Tevele, an R.A. in Evans said "The power went out around 5:00 a.m. A pipe burst on the 5th floor and when the water hit the transformer it (the transformer) caught fire and set off all the alarms.'' Students were relocated to Stark Lobby or to other dorms until the fire was extinguished. Students were allowed to return to their rooms at 10:40 a.m. Sunday morning, but were without electricity and water. A backup generator was used t0 restore power temporarily, but at 6:30 p.m. the failure of the backup resulted in a blackout which forced students out once again. At 8:00 p.m. all power was finally restored and students were allowed to return to the dorm. Monday morning at 10:30 a.m. a short caused another power failure which, fortunately, only lasted twenty minutes. Students raise questions at the Open Forum session held during the Spring Semester.

COAL MINES - This technology, developed at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory at the University of Missouri-Rolla, will bring jobs and a use for abandoned coal mines. Water jets can be used for safely disarming weapons and mining coal, in otherwise unuseable flooded mine areas, thus creating a new source for fossil fuel. Congressman Paul Kanjorski secured $20 million in .federal funds on January 14, 1990, to buy, through the Earth Conservancy, the land associated with the Blue Coal Mine. This grant was awarded mostly because of the military applications. Thanks to the end of the Cold War, Pentagon officials are searching for a way to safely bore live ammunition from shells to recycle the metal casings. Water jet techology is the safest solution to the problem. Water jets also may be a short term answer to our disappearing natural resources. The jets, according to Dr. David Summers, a Rolla professor and head of the research team, can mine coal in small enough particles that it could be a substitute for diesel fuel. It will reopen and make a good use for the mines and remaining coal in the area. �WILKES OPENS DOORS by SUSAN DRAUS, CoEditor Hillary Blake goes to bat for Wilkes during the 1992 spring season. bar from "Fruity Pebbles" sports his team's logo for the camera.

Deals with "Party Problems'' by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor WILKES UNIVERSITY - An article appearing in the March 4th issue of the local Citizens' Voice, touched off a month-long series of "negotiations" between the Off Campus Council at Wilkes University and the residents of 10 East South Street. The article termed the South Street apartments, where many Wilkes students reside, an "insane asylum" and featured interviews with residents of the South Street apartment complex. Neighbors complained about students' loud parties and claimed that Wilkes students had stolen street signs, vandalized property, thrown used condoms at their building, and had urinated and deficated on their property. A follow-up article appeared in the Times Leader presenting the student point of view against the accusations. Most students felt the accusations were ridiculous and untrue. "It's absurd and frustrating. I've made an effort to know my neighbors so something like this would never happen. We wouldn't do any of that, we want to get along with the neighbors." said Mick Dungan, a Senior and South Street resident. Several meetings of the Off Campus Council were held to discuss the problem. A meeting was planned with the Tenants Association of 10 East South Street and several O.C.C. representatives. Wilkes representatives present at the meeting held on March 29th were Lori Truman, O.C.C. President; Tom Wittman, Student Government President; and Leigh Major, O.C.C. Advisor. Approximately thirty tenants and representatives pledged to "get the word out to students" and to encourage more consideration toward the neighbors. The tenants promised to be more understanding and to establish better lines of communication between themselves and the students.

Bernadette Fornicola, Director of Alumni Giving, explains, "The Senior Gift Program gives students the opportunity to say 'Tl?,.ank You' to Wilkes University."

Spring Break wasn't fun-in-the-sun for everybody, though. Some students still had to work, study, or visit with family at home. No matter where or how students spent Spring Break, all were in agreement at one point - A break from school, anywhere, was definitely enjoyable. No matter what the hazards of the sun are, there are those who still find the tan all-important.

But, once again, Coach Reese pulled our Di vision one boys through another tough season, and emerged with their thirty-seventh consecutive winning season. The grapplers ended their season with a dual meet record of 11-9.

Rupp, Amnicola Staff Member MARTS CENTER - The Wilkes University men's basketball team completed their 1991-1992 basketball campaign with a 123-107 double overtime victory over Juniata at the Marts Center. The Colonels finished the year with an overall record of 10-15, 3-7 in the MAC Northeast. The Colonels started off their year in a tournament that consisted of Division II teams. Wilkes played competitive basketball but ended up with a fourth place finish. ''The Division II tourney was sort of a confidence breaker and that was not good because the MAC schedule came right after that," said head men's coach, Ron Rainey. However, the tough start did not set the theme for the rest of the year. The Colonels finished strong winning seven out of their last eleven games. "We had a strong finish and now we have to take that attitude to the off season with us. We have to work as individuals and keep a positive attitude," said Rainey. As the winter season fades away to the brighter surroundings of spring, Wilkes basketball looks ahead to next year and the hopes of a successful season. Senior Jeff Patacki more points.

MARTS CENTER - It is often said that "quality" counts more than "quantity". This year's Lady Colonels Basketball team certainly proved that phrase true, with only 8 players on the roster. The women also faced a more challenging, extended season this year, with more games added to their regular schedule, and the trial of being guided by a new head coach. With so many obstacles threatening the success of this year's team, many did not expect great things from the Lady Colonels. Yet the women surprised everyone, using guts and determination combined with smart ball playing to produce an admirable, yet deceiving 8-16 record. By most, this record would constitute a "losing" season- but the Lady Colonels were winners in every sense of the word. The small numbers played quite a role in the Lady Colonel's season. This was evidenced when the Lady Colonels took on the Lady Monarchs of Kings. The players took what' is normally an emotionally charged match-up anyway and turned the event into a lesson in strength, teamwork, and tireless effort. The Lady Colonels took the Monarchs into DOUBLE overtime, with only 4 players remaining on the court. Although Wilkes lost the game, it was clearly an absence of physical stamina and not a lack of guts and determination accounting for the result. Such effort was inspired in the players in many ways: Through the excellent guidance of new Coach Karen Haag and through the diverse talents of senior players like Krista Zoka, Deb Erdner, and Denise Carson, and by the scoring and leadership abilities of Missie Chinchar. Whatever the inspiration for this year's success, the loss of key players next year and the addition of many new recruits may add up to a great season of "quality" women's Basketball at Wilkes.

ARTILLARY FIELD - The onset of the spring months, beautiful weather, and the need to be out doors usually signifies the start of America's favorite past time. Batter-Up! The boys of summer swung into action on March 18th and the Wilkes Baseball season commenced. Unfortunately, the team spent more time postponing games and rounding the bases in the rain this season than they spent in typical, sunny "baseball weather." But the rotten weather didn't dampen the spirits of the Colonels, who once again ended with a winning season, finishing with a record of 16-10. Team captains Chris Imperials and Joe Ki~h brought leadership to the team, while Imperiale, Junior Tom Whille, and Sophomores Dave Kaschak, Steve Endres, Dave Wesoloskie, and Steve Klem led the team in batting averages. Freshmen Billy Noone and Joe Balay led the team in strike outs, while Junior Dirk Heberle pitched in as well. Al though the Colonels missed MAC playoffs, they did make ECAC playoffs. The team travelled to Frostburg state in Maryland for a chance at the ECAC title. Unfortunately, the Colonels came away from that contest with a loss. But that shouldn't overshadow the success of this year's team. Imperials had this to say about the season, "We expected to do well this year and we were looking forward to the season. We really wanted to make MAC playoffs, but making ECAC's was a good consolation." Overall, Imperiale stressed that this past season was definitely a successful one. When asked what he'll miss most about baseball, he said,"Definitely the camaraderie. My friends and the competition, I will definitely miss." Team member Dave Kashak made headlines with the most hits on the team this season.

RALSTON FIELD - The 1992 season was one of tremendous effort and teamwork by the Wilkes men's and women's tennis teams. With much support from their coaches and fans, the men's team managed to pull off an excellent record of 5-8, their best in over ten years. Some key players in these achievements were Senior members Doug Meade and Jerry Matteo, who each had records of 6-7 in their singles matches.

Not only are several of its buildings on both the Pennsylvania and National Registers of Historic Places, but the neighborhood is a designated historic district. Wilkes-Barre was originally laid out in 1770 by Admiral John Durkee. The city was to be bound on the west by the Susquehanna river, on the south by South St., on the north by North St., and the east by Pennsylvania Blvd. Since then, the city has grown well beyond its boundaries. The Wilkes area was dotted with cabins, taverns , and hotels along the riverfront property. When men like Jacob Cist and Jesse Fell, among others, proved that coal was good for heat and it was in abundance in the valley, the "coal rush" hit the quiet valley in the 1840's. Immigrants from Europe converged on the mountains, working hard to make their fortune in the black gold. They brought with them their many-faceted culture and way of life. Mr. Frederick Chase, President of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, Mr. Charles Parrish, coal mining figure, Atty. Andrew Todd McClintock, and Frederick J. Weckesser, of the F.W. Woolworth empire are just a few of the wealthy families who chose to build homes on the Susquehanna riverfront in Wilkes-Barre. They commissioned famous architects and builders from New York and Philadelphia for the task, adding to the many faces of architecture in the area. A need for higher education was recognized and Bucknell Jr. College began holding classes in 1933. The first classes at the two year school were held in rooms rented from the Wilkes-Barre Business College on Northampton St. Previously, the Wyoming Valley was perhaps one of the most densely populated areas in the country without such an institution. Many of the wealthy families who built their homes in the area, donated them to the school as the coal rush slowed and they sought more rural surroundings. Admiral and Mrs. Harold Stark were the first to donate their home to the fledgling school in 1937. By 1947, and 10 buildings later, the school became a chartered four year college, the first school of its kind in the Wyoming Valley. Some of the families who donated to the school were members of the Board of Trustees and life-long friends of the College. Wilkes College was named after American patriot John Wilkes. Wilkes is personally responsible for three American rights: the right to free press, the right of electors to choose representatives without dictation from any authority, and freedom from arrest without cause. The Wyoming Valley and Wilkes have come a long way since its humble beginnings. In 1990, Wilkes achieved University status. It has acquired many more facets since then, just like a diamond, and continues to increase in clarity as time goes on. -Wendy Raughley The school mace, pictured here, fits right in with Wilkes's roots in coal. A piece of coal is in the mace, to remind everyone how the school began.

A , in the mace, to remind the school began. John Wilkes, for whom both Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes University were named, is a very important part of American history, even though he never set foot in the new world. Born on October 17, 1727, the son of an English malt distiller, Wilkes was one of the upper class. He began his education at a private school at Hertford. He went on to the University of Leyden in 1744, where he remained for only about two years. Upon returning to England Wilkes entered several societies and confraternities like the Medmenham Abby. He was also not known for keeping quiet when things did not please him. He began voicing his dislike in one such instance for the foreign policy of one Lord Bute. He circulated an anonymous pamphlet called, "Observations on the Papers relative to the Rupture with Spain laid before both Houses of Parliament on Jan. 29 of 1762." Wilkes went on to fill public office and defend the rights of man. Supporters say he is responsible for three fundamental American rights, freedom from arbitrary arrest, freedom of the press, and the rights of electors to choose their representatives without dictation from authority. Taken from the Dictionary of National Biography -Wendy Raughley year 1993 will stand out in many people's minds for many reasons. The Amnicola staff chose Wilkes's 60th anniversary as the event that best symbolized the 1992-1993 school year. The 60th anniversary is traditionally known as the diamond anniversary. Diamonds are formed when the earth exerts great pressure on coal over a long period of time. Since Wilkes has most of its roots in coal, it is only fitting that as time goes on and changes take place, it has formed into a diamond. Hence, our theme, "The Emerging Diamond." The longer a diamond takes to form, the more beautiful and flawless it is, and the more it is worth. This process parallels the process Wilkes has undergone since its formation as Bucknell Jr. College and continues to go through with its attainment of Universtiy status and its plans for future growth and change. Wilkes also resembles a diamond in its many facets, or faces. The Amnicola staff hopes to have covered as many of these facets as possible to capture the beauty of the University's diversity. In this book we hope to combine Wilkes's past, in coal, with the present, the emerging diamond, and the future as a diamond to celebrate 60 years in operation. --Wendy Raughley �ln the B__eginning D iamonds are... In strictest definition, diamonds are composed The Blue Coal Co. pictured below is just one of the many coal mines that gave birth to and supported much of the Wyoming Valley into the 20th century. Even though remnants of the coal rush are everywhere, it's easy sometimes to forget the men, women, and children who gave their sweat, tears, and sometimes lives to the mines. These lives are just as important to the birth of Wilkes as any other because, it is these people's children for whom the school was built. They are the beginning of the chain that transformed the coal region and Wilkes into the growing community and University that they are today. Since the end of the coal rush, a lot of land that once thrived with activity now sits idle. This land was once the very source of life for the Wyoming Valley. In an effort to make the land useable again, and bring new life into the Wyoming Valley, Wilkes, in conjunction with Congressman Paul Kanjorski, formed the Earth Conservancy. The Conservancy desires to take the land of the old Blue Coal Mine that includes the Blue Coal Co, and build a center for developing water jet technologies. If their plan works, Wilkes will be transforming a waste land to a source of income and employment for the Wyoming Valley. -Wendy Raughley of nearly pure carbon, but have many extraordinary qualities. A diamond is the hardest surface known to man, and can only be cut by another diamond. This enduring quality makes it a symbol for longevity and purpose that makes it a perfect symbol for Wilkes. The school has emerged from many tests of its strength and character with improved clarity of mission and purpose. The cut of the diamond is very important. Uncut diamonds resemble clear stones. What makes a diamond beautiful is caring hands that mold it and shape it into a thing of beauty. Each bf these facets reflects its own light, and all facets work together to make the diamond beautiful. Even though it is tough, the diamond retains incredible beauty. When a diamond is cut, it has unique abilities to reflect light brilliantly. A diamond comes from coal, after hundreds of thousands of years of compression. It is the only gem mineral composed of a single unadulterated element, making it the purest of the earth's gemstones. Some speculate that today's coal veins are, in a couple of hundered thousand years going to be diamond mines. It is this transition from something as useful as coal to a brilliant diamond that makes it so unique. In much the same way, Wilkes University has emerged from the coal industry that laid the groundwork for the school 60 years ago. -Wendy Raughley u N I T y • A M I D s T �u composed dinary N D n and can , ~akes it a set symbol of its n and purt diamonds iful is caring Each of ogether to :redible to reflect ·housands ~posed of a ,e earth's 9 , in a ,d mines. :oal to a ;ame way, hat laid the 'Raughley I T D y s T �Built on History The Wilkes University campus is indebted to the coal industry. Most of the buildings that are on the University grounds were built by wealthy families who came to the the Wyoming Valley during the "coal rush" in the mid-1800's. Merchants and coal barons' families later donated or sold their mansions to the University. Theses families employed famous New York and Philadelphia architects and builders to design the homes, resulting in the many facets and timeless beauty of architecture in the Wilkes area. Many homes are on both the National and Pennsylvania Historic Registers, and the riverfront neighborhood is a Designated Historic District. The styles of architects such as Innes and Levy, Bruce Price, Edmund B. Gilchrist, Frederick Withers and William Neuer are represented in campus buildings. The collection of different kinds of architecture is only one example of how rare and valuable Wilkes is. For example, the oldest houses on campus, Catlin, Sturdevant and McClintock Halls, were built in the Greek Revival style. Sterling and Butler Halls are prime examples of the Italianate style, while the dominant style in the area, Queen Anne, is exemplified by Weiss, Kirby, Barre, Delaware, and Chesapeake Halls. The city of Wilkes-Barre was laid out by Major John Durkee under a charter from the Susquehanna Company in 1770. A drawing was held in 1772 to divide each of the 48 lots between the mostly Connecticut immigrants to the area. Many of these lots have historical significance in the formation of WilkesBarre, and the State of Pennsylvania. For example, President Theodore Roosevelt once gave a speech on the River Commons, a tavern once stood where the Alumni House does, and in the summer of 1797, the Duke of Orleans, who later became Louis Philippe, King of France supposedly stayed there after visiting a Built in 1841, Mcclintock Hall (above) is the oldest home on campus. It was donated in 1951 by Atty. Gilbert McClintock, a friend and advisor of the school. Now a residence hall, the home is on both the Pennsylvania and National Registry of Historic Places. Weckesser Hall (right) was built in 1914 by architect Charles Gilbert in the Beaux Arts style. Frederick Weckesser, member of the executive committee of F.W. Woolworth Company gave the mansion to Wilkes College in 1956. 6 French refugee settler Barre.

Studer of the University today the coal industry that ir facets of our campus. 1 �irby Hall was built in 1873 and given to Bucknell University Junior College in 1941 to become the fourth building on campus. The mansion, a prime example of High Victorian Style architecture, was built by an architect named Frederick Clark Withers. The building even made the cover of American Architectural News in December of 1876. The home is on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Pennsylvania register. Renovations on the building began this fall. Once a classroom, the salon has been restored clo$e to its original splendor with a new floor and period furnishings. The room will now be used as a faculty seminar and meeting room. The entrance hall and parlor are scheduled for renovations later this year. More interesting than the building itself, however, is the land it stands upon. The lot itself was #1 in the 1770 Town plan. Jabez Sill's cabin, the second home in Wilkes-Barre, stood on the lot. In the 1880's Judge Rosewell Welles bought the property and erected a home that became a social center for Wilkes-Barre. Welles died in 1831, and ownership of the lot changed hands several times. Stephen Thurlow bought the land and built what we know as Kirby Hall in 1873. The family, while traveling through France, discovered an artist, Mademoiselle Juliette Gambaro. They brought Mademoiselle Gambaro to Wilkes-Barre, and some say she brought culture to the children of the city. She taught music, painting, language and other arts to local children. She used her pupils as models for the cherubs popular in her murals such as those found in Kirby Hall's dining room and in Weckesser Hall. The home was sold in 1880 and again changed hands several times until F. M. Kirby, one of the founders of the F.W. Woolworth Company, bought it in 1905. Stories say in the 1920's, Kirby heard they were building a bridge at the narrowest part of the river, which was right in front of his house. He didn't want a bridge in his front yard, so he bought all the land on the other side of the river so no bridge could be built. As a result, the Market St. bridge is on Market St. instead of South St. Mr. Kirby gave the land to the city and set up a trust fund for maintenance of it. Bucknell Jr. College used the home as a library; as the school grew, it was changed into classrooms and offices. It now houses the English and Foreign Language Departments. -Wendy Raughley K of the buildings ,e to the the coal barons' 1uilders to design the , area.

Congressmen, judges, merchants, governors, and legislators built their homes in the resort area in the 1880's. Wilkes-Barre has since grown far beyond the original boundaries, but Wilkes buildings remain on original lot sites. Before homes were built, it was a merchant district with taverns, hotels, shops and warehouses on the riverfront. The river common, across from Stark Learning Center was, according to the original plan, designated for use by all residents. The area has as much history as any one of the campus buildings. It remains a park to this day and is occasionally used for picnics, celebrations, and a place to enjoy the open space. The dike itself has been rebuilt several times in an effort to protect the homes from floods. The elm trees that line the riverbank were planted in the mid 1800's in an attempt to prevent erosion of the dikes. This did not save many of the great homes that once stood before the floods of early 1900's and 1972. Wilkes's buildings were built with money made from coal mining, in an area where coal was once king. Students who walk the paths of the University today should know that it is the coal industry that initally formed the many facets of our campus. -Wendy Raughley ���Club Day organizations to tower.

The Physics club sponsored a variety of inter-active displays such as the 11 pendulem of death .11 The one o'clock bell ended this day, however, with many clubs and organizations bousted by new members and much enthusiam. -Karen Mason A ten foot velcro wall was provided for the students to enjoy ..... and that they did!!!! s Wendy Raughley and Tom Jarmiolowski dressed in costume to attract students to their table and lure them into joining Cue-N-Curtain.

Finally, the audience waited with anticipation as the 23 members of the Homecoming Court and the finalists were announced by President Breiseth. The finalists were Cindy Dayton, Meg Fallin, Allyssa Coviello, Dan McClave, Ron Miller, and Doug Rafeld. The Wilkes pep band concluded the event with music, as students cheered. They said it was , "great" and, "the best bonfire in many years." Whatever the case may be, the night was definitely worth remembering, and a great start to Homecoming Weekend. -Jadi Willison Students prepare the dummy for the fire.

This year's Winter Weekend teams arrived for Friday Night's opening ceremony as their favorite holiday. Multi-colored t-shirts marking traditional celebrations such as St. Patrick's Day and New Year's Eve filled the gym. A few weekend teams created their own holidays to celebrate this year. Mark your calenders for Boxer Day and Absolute Hump Day. The events of the weekend included the volleyball marathon, bat spin, amoeba, keg roll, sack race, blind basketball, and the tug of war. Each game was worth a certain amount of points depending upon where the team placed. In the end the team with the most overall points was April Fools' Day. Finishing close behind were Flag Day, in second place, and Labor Day in third place. -Karen Mason Students Kevin Riley, Lou Emanuel, and Denise Motts, members of "Cinco De Mayo" get ready to compete in the Amoeba Competition.

The dance is celebrated every year as a part of National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. Mocktails, nonalcoholic cocktails, pizza, wings, hot dogs and other snacks were served. Music was provided by DJ Bob Loftus of WKRZ Radio. As a part of the mocktails celebration, three students Doug Rafield, Lori Kriences, and John Comerford were given an alcoholic drink every hour. Lt. Barrett of the Wilkes-Barre police gave them DUI tests to show how alcohol affects the system. The party at Rumors provided a non-alcoholic alternative to the many apartment parties off-campus. -Jadi Willison Marla Vandermark, Joanna De receive bringing them a step cl John Comerford enjoys dressing in drag as Doug Raef iels transends back to the ?O's .. ... with the Easter Bunny? !

More people showed up than were expected for the Murder Mystery Party. The room was packed, but there was just enough room left in the SUB to have fun. Actors put on a sort of murder mystery play. The catch is, the audience was involved. The actors made the participants feel like they were solving a real murder. Everyone was running into one room while someone was screaming in another. Students were asked who they thought the killer was, and to write their response on a card. They were allowed to ask the actors as many questions as they wanted, so they could solve the crime. When everyone was sure they were finished, the cards were collected, and the winner was announced. -Diana Busti �Moms & Dads & Friends 0hMyf Many Wilkes students were seen around campus on Septe1nber 19,1992, accompanied by their ...

Many students like Mike Evans, Chad Lowjewski, Diane Menhennett, Colonel Bob, and Corey Chic, volunteered their time and were sold to the highest bidder at the Hired Help Auction on September 15th in Stark Learning Center 101. The purchasers were allowed to dress, and order their employees for a day to do silly things, like sing in the cafeteria or make campus announcements. More that $300 was raised and donated to the VISION shelter that Wilkes sponsored for the last week in October. Kevin Barno, President of the Student Government, said, " they raised money for a good cause, and everyone had a good time." -Jadi Willison T airron Batory enjoys the nice weather with her mother, Anne and grandmother, Mary Alice Heineman. Smile pretty for the camera! 19 �@ml$ Stephanie Hastings and Colonel Bob help to relax the blood donors. Many students came to help out the Red Cross by giving blood. Some students were first timers while others lengthened their blood donating record. In the spirit of the age-old cross-town tradition, Wilkes beat King's by 17 units of blood this past February in a blood drive sponsored by the American Red Cross and Health Services. Turnouts at previous drives were so-so, but when the idea of a trophy for the school that donated the most was revived, students rushed to the gym with their sleeves up. In 1989, First Eastern Bank donated a trophy to the school that donated the most blood. King's triumphed each time. Eventually students lost interest and the trophy collected dust at King's. This year, through negotiations between the schools, the competition was revived. Wilkes won, 177 units to King's 165. Other blood drives were held October 8, when 142 units were collected, and April 29. All three blood drives had a tremendous turnout. For each of the blood drives, local businesses continued to donate gifts and gift certificates for free dinners and shows. -Wendy Raughley 20 Students s around them.

Students spent the first week of November concentrating on improving the world around them. As a part of the, "Into the Streets" program, campus clubs and organizations got together and did their share for the community. Many of the students, however, were already involved in improving the neighborhood. The Biology Club, for example, adopted a section of the Cross Valley Expressway near River Street. They are in charge of keeping it free from garbage yearround. For clubs like this, the, "Into the Streets" program highlighted their day-to-day efforts to improve their world. Other students who weren't a part of any particular organization that planned an event for "Into the Streets," or who weren't regular volunteers, helped out for the day at places like the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen. Other students gathered in Stark Lobby early Saturday morning and left equipped with garbage bags to clean up the Wilkes neighborhood. Everyone had lots of fun and were introduced to the fulfilling world of volunteer work, and learned how much each person needs to give to the world around them to make it a diamond too. 21 �eater At the end of April the Department of Music, Theater, and Dance presented an adapted version of the Shakespearean play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Directed by John Swanson, assistant professor of theater at Wilkes, this interpretation created a unique twist to the classic story about love .. With "medieval" fairies on rollerblades, other actors in Athenian costume and steel pipe architecture in the background, the production crews created a feeling of timelessness in the setting. The use of laser-like lights and smoke screens were wonderful special effects which added to the scenery. And what's a play without actors? The cast contained a number of exceptionally talented individuals. Especially good were performances by Bruce Chistian and Carol Kerdock as lovers Lysander and Hermia. Jamie Kurtz and Amy Kahanowitz were also quite comical as Demetrius and Helena. The two males were put under a love spell by a fairy named Puck after a mistake in identities. However, the characters later turned to whom they were meant to be with after Puck reversed the spell. The play itself contained even more comical scenes, some of which take place as the audience sees a group of actors traveling throughout the forest on their way to Athens. Here a star emerged in Eric Riviera, who played the role of Bottom. The great animation that Riviera put forth brought extraordinary life to his character. The only negative point of the show was that some of the actors and actresses, especially the younger ones, had a tendency to talk too fast. In general, though, this performance was an enjoyable one for all who attended. -Steph Kramer and Steve Rawheiser Hermia, played byCarol Kerdock, tried desperately to win the love of Demetrius, Jamie Kurtz.

The Cue n' Curtain club produced this show, called Dorothy Meets Alice in February to the delight of audiences young and old. The show had a bright, colorful, and innovative set, costumes and an everchanging storyline. Tom Jarmiolowski directed the show with help from Paula Lettiere, Jamie Kurtz, Jeremey Goode, Angela Dymond and Jennifer Wenkosky. -WendyRaughley Demetrius, once again, takes the heart of yet another helpless woman, Helena, played by Amy Kahanowitz. 23 �Anyone who ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a play got their questions answered in October. "Noises Off!" takes the audience on a hilarious journey into the world of theater from the front to the back of the stage. "Noises Off!" is acually a play within a play. Act one begins with actors on stage during a rehearsal for the play, "Noting On," and show, in a very funny way, how things can go wrong at a typical dress rehearsal. Act two takes the audience backstage to the personal relationships among the actors, and the comedy of it. Just when everything seems to be going right for this hysterical troupe, the scene changes back to the stage. The personal strife comes to a head backstage, and during a performance later in the tour, one show falls completely apart as life backstage and life onstage for the actors clash and crumble. This British-written comedy was presented from the October 15 -18, and was directed by Theater Director, Brad Wright. �It's a Greek tragedy that posesses all of the pure conventions. Hero tries to avoid his destiny, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get away from the wishes of the gods. The Wilkes-Barre Artistic Theater Ensemble (WBATE) performed, "Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles, their first production, at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts from September 17-20. Jack Evans played Oedipus as he tried to solve the problems of his people, and eventually kills himself in agony after he finds he is the cause of the suffering. His wife, Jocasta, played by Rebecca Schmitt, commits suicide when she finds that the father of her children and second husband is also her first born son. Sticking to many of the conventions of the Greek theater, such as a bare stage and a chorus, this show was a mix of Wilkes students and members of the community. Wilkes alumnus, Dave Shock was lighting designer and acted as Tiresias, the blind prophet that holds the key to the secrets of Oedipus's life. Wilkes students like Jennifer Nyman, an art major, Tom Jarmioloski, a theater major, Camille Clark, an international studies major, Tracy Youells, an English major, and Karen Jordan, an English/psychology major, acted in and provided technical support for the show. The show was sponsored by the Manuscript Society and Cue n' Curtain. WBATE, a non-profit organization, hopes to bring more plays to the stage in the future. --Wendy Raughley I play got n a hilarious ctors on mny way, among the Jht for this JS formance fe onstage for -18, and was Ballet Northeast along with some Wilkes students portrayed the fairytale Cinderella in a beautiful ballet. Jack Evans and Rebecca Schmitt were part of the great cast who acted out an outstanding reproduction of Sophicles Greek tragedy, "Oedipus Rex". The "Noises Off" cast consisted of Jason Dellcamp, Carol Kerdock, Billy Jo Martin, David Lebon, Amy Kahanowitz, Jack Evans, Brett Dilks and Tom Jarmiolowski. Jack Evans and Keri Booth brought a great variety of emotion to the stage and audience in "A Lie of the Mind", a play about two dysfunctional families. 25 �Members of Chicago include fr left to right , Lee Loughnane , Bill Champlin, Robert Lamm , Tris Imboden , Walt Parazaider, Dwa) Bailey, Jason Scheff, and Jimmy Pankow.

We really owe a lot of our success to them" Chicago finally took the stage, and, as always, was full of energy and vibrance. They opened their set with favorites like, "Color My World," "You're the Inspiration," and "Hard Habit to Break." The whole concert was full of the band's number one hits. Chicago used some of their time in the concert to urge the crowd to, "Rock the Vote." Like many other musicians, they told the crowd that it was important to vote in elections if they wanted to see a change. The crowd's energy added to the success of the concert. Even those who weren't die hard fans of the two groups enjoyed themselves. "I didn't know a lot of their songs, but I thought they were really great," commented Cindy Charnetski, a senior at Wyoming Valley West High School, after the concert. This concert proved Chicago and The Moody Blues have stood the test of time and don't plan on quitting any time soon. The concert was outstanding, and anyone who was in the audience would quickly agree. --Jennifer James 27 �Wilkes Becomes Aware of More AIDS Stark Lobby was transformed into an Al OS education center to observe World Al OS Day. On December 1, the school and local community came together to teach each other about the dangers of AIDS, and how to protect themselves with a series of displays and lectures. The Education Club, Biology Club, Wyoming Valley AIDS Council, Caremark Homecare, and other organizations displayed posters and set up tables with different activities and information to help students realize the importance of AIDS education. Clubs like Political Science and Nursing handed out red ribbons, the national symbol of AIDS awareness, and pamphlets. The Education and Biology Clubs displayed the results of studies they did in AIDS education in schools, and talked about the biology of the disease. The Sociology Club had a quiz game asking AIDS related questions while Cue n' Curtain, the Theater Club, gave out red dots to students to represent the number of people infected with HIV. Anyone with a red dot was, "infected" for a day. The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association (LGBA) handed out condoms to promote safe sex. That promotion of safe sex, however, kept people of some religious beliefs away from the school on Tuesday. All area high schools and the general public were invited to attend, but the Catholic Diocese of Scranton said that while AIDS education is important, the promotion of safe sex went against their moral teachings, and parochial schools did not attend. Senior Dave Wheeler said, "without AIDS education, you are forced to make an informed decision from myths and little bits of information, and you can't fight an enemy you don't know." Diane O'Brien, Coordinator of Health Services, says there is no information available that tells if anyone at Wilkes is infected with HIV. O'Brien says this is because the Pennsylvania Department of Health keeps the names of those infected in deep confidence. Only those tested learn the results. --Wendy Raughley 28 �Richard Zeszotarski and Jeffrey Bugno discuss the events of the day as they sit back and observe. Lots of information w·as available for students to become more educated on this complex virus. Many organizations, such as the theatre club , Cue-n-Curtain , shown here, had tables set up to provide as much help as possible in AIDS awareness. Although the whole day had an overall serious atmosphere, the students had a good time and felt good about themselves knowing they helped out. 29 �open Forum at the Darte Questions about core requirements, condoms, financial aid, and campus safety were among some issues faced at an Open Forum on November 12. Other questions and comments were raised about better facilities for handicapped students, books being at the bookstore on time, and dropping the foreign language requirement from the core. A popular question was dealing with the new core requirements, seniors being especially concerned. President Christopher Breiseth feels the new core is an overall success for the school, giving each department more power over its students' educations. Dean Lampe-Groh and Director of Campus Support Services John Pesta announced they have been working with security on a list of places that needs better lighting on campus, easing many students of the recent "jumpings which occurred. On the lighter side, one student asked about the, "covert operations on condoms" at the Health Services Office. The student complained that when students ask for condoms at the office, the woman who gives them out is embarrassed, and gives out only three at a time. Betty Kwack of Health Services said the woman is only trying to prevent embarrassment for the student, and if asked for, more condoms will be given out.

On, November 21, members of the Wilkes Art and Design Association, in conjunction with King's College, went on a trip to New York City. Among the sites visited were the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to see the Magritte retrospective, and the Museum of Modern Art, where the Matisse retrospective was also showing. Those A.D.A. members who attended were Christopher Scappaticci, president, Diana Busti, vice-president, Richard Zeszotarski, treasurer, and Ed McGinnis. Other Wilkes students joining the art students were Ann Peters, Sean O'Reilly, and Aniko Szeplaki. Overall, it was a very enjoyable day in the Big Apple. It gave everyone a chance to experience the luxuries of a big city. - Richard Zeszotarski A NIGHT OF FAMILY FEUDING! Henry the Eighth and His Wives take the crown at the Psychology Club sponsored, Family Feud contest. The game activities were held in the Stark Learning Center, Room 101.

The city was run by a religious organization dedicated to helping people in times of disaster. Meg Fallin, Tad Barnhart, Gail Humphrey, Jamie Kurtz, Chad Lojewski, Mike Holly, Natalie Berry and Nicole Drahuas braved bad weather on the trip south, bad food , community showers and strict rules to help two families rebuild. Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Leigh Major and women's basketball coach Karen Haag drove the students in University vans and acted as chaperones on the trip. The students spent the week rebuilding rooves and cleaning up property. By the time they headed home they were "exhausted," Fallin said, "but it felt good." -Wendy Raughley Richard Zeszotarski and Ann Peters take time to observe one of the many beautiful statues in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Forty pounds of Trouble, including students Mike Palumbo and Brian Malina, took home first prize of $150. Great Job!!! Forty pounds of Trouble took first place in the Battle of the Bands on April 17 in Rumors and walked away with the $150 prize. The winners beat bands such as Lank Thompson and The Handsome Men, Brass Works, The Blue Collar Tweeters and Crystalyn with original songs "Display of Affection," and "Paper Houses." Comedians Red Johnny and the Round Guy kept the crowd of more than 150 music lovers entertained while each band set up their equipment. Brass Works ~ took the stage first and warmed up the audience with hits from the 1970's and early 1980's by the likes of Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine and Chicago. This band, made up of music majors featuring a horn section, took second place and $125. Next up was Lank Thompson and the Handsome Men, who took third place honors and $100. The band wore suits and advertised before the big event. They played alternative favorites from Social Distortion's, The Spin Doctors, the Screaming Trees, and their own version of the Ramones'. The groups were judged on the amount of time they played, energy and stage presence, how well they knew the music, the crowd's reaction, and of course, the music they played. �its Rumours!!! Students gathered in Rumors on March 10 to touch the star they always wanted to be. All they needed was a little music and a microphone to sing by. Even if they were off-key, screechy or just plain bad singers, students applauded their classmates' performances of their favorite music hits. Songs ranged from Elvis to Phil Collins and were performed with heart and soul by some of their biggest fans.

The day was full of sun, fun, and food, ranging from ice cream to jambalaya. Members of the community joined students on Public Square wearing shorts and t-shirts, thanks to the warm weather, to take a break from the spring "rush." Circle K, Commuter Council, the Pre-Med Society and the newly established Student AIDS Awareness Committee provided games to raise money. The Student Al OS Awareness Committee hopes to use the proceeds of their plant and candy sale at the festival to help defray the cost of bringing the AIDS quilt toWilkes.

For a $5 cover charge, students received $2,000 in chips to gamble the night away. Programming board members, volunteers and members of the Residence Life office worked the many roulette, poker, and black jack tables while Jim Karol entertained winners and losers alike with magic tricks. At the end of the night, the serious gamblers or those who just happened to be lucky enough to win a lot of chips bought a number of prizes that were donated by local businesses. The feature prize of the night was a trip for two to New York City to take in a Broadway show and see the sights. Freshman Jon Most won the raffle and he and a date left for the Big Apple that weekend. Everyone had a lot of fun, some more than others but all had a chance to gamble without risking their own money. --Wendy Raughley Andy Mazzeo looks like he knows something that the dealer, Kevin Barno, doesn't!!

The Wyoming Valley was in a state of emergency for more than two days. Dorm students used trash cans and cafeteria trays to dig out their cars. Whomever got their car out first was immediately in his or her way to Price Chopper, the only store open, to buy shovels. ABM tried to beat the snow, and keep paths clear for students, but many students still trudged through knee ----------deep snow to get dinner at the cafeteria that Saturday evening. The snow was eventually shoveled into mountains all over campus and melted quickly. Too quickly, however, for the banks of the Susquehanna. Old and not-so-old timers reminisced about the flood of 1972 as they watched the water rise up over the dikes f in many low-lying areas. Students rafted through Kirby Park, because the water was so deep, and took lots of pictures to send home. Everyone kept an eye on the river and some even took bets as to the crest and if there would be a flood or not. Luckily, the Susquehanna crested just below the top of the dikes, but it was enough of a scare to people who had never seen anything like it, to remind them of the power of mother nature. -Wendy Raughley . . �Everyone with a car on campus the weekend of the storm will always remember the great amount of snow ... along with the even greater amount of shoveling. I Many students saw the brighter side to the high waters and took advantage of them. The high level of the river attracted many but also brought back a lot of bad memories to many local Wilkes-Barrians who remember the flood of 1972. 41 �illary comes to the CLINTON URGES AMERICA TO REBUILD AND CHANGE The G.A.R. High School Band and the International Ladies Garment Union's Chorus tried to pacify the anxious crowd at the F.M. Kirby Center Tuesday October 27, as they waited for Hillary Rodham Clinton to arrive. Then, however, she was only the wife of the Govenor of Arkansas, not the First Lady. Area politicians also tried their hand at entertaining the standing room only crowd, but it only served to get them more excited. Before long a lady appeared on the wings, despite the fact that it was her birthday and she was exhausted from a tiring campaign schedule, she went on. Not only an eloquent speaker, Clinton is one of the top 100 lawyers in the country according to The National Law Journal, and a champion for the rights of children. She began her speech by urging the crowd, to have the courage to change," much the same way President John F. Kennedy did from the same stage some 32 years earlier. She explained her husband's platform while blasting the current government policies. She told the crowd she felt at home, because her father was raised in Scranton. She ended her speech by asking the crowd to read Bill Clinton and Al Gore's book, Putting People First, that outlines their plan for the country in detail. She said, "You don't have to read Bill's and Al's lips. Read their book." 11 --Wendy Raughley 42 �ory Kennedy supports Democratic campaign for the presidency Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, visited the Wilkes campus on behalf of the Clinton-Gore election campaign on October 28. Kennedy, a 23-year-old, recent college graduate, addressed an audience of approximately 75 people in the lounge of the Center for the Performing Arts. 1would like to see an end to the Reagan White House, said Kennedy. She had been active in politics while at Brown University, and is currently a spokesperson for the ClintonGore campaign. Kennedy said that the world views America's young people as the "lost generation," yet voter registration has increased in record numbers across the nation this year. lt seems that students have been angry over the past four years," Kennedy said. 'They (students) have been finding out how to and where to register so they can vote in the uncoming election," Kennedy stated. When Kennedy talked about Clinton's recognition of problems in America's health care policies, she was answered by tremendous _ applause. Next, Kennedy talked about Clinton's feelings on education. "Today, our schools aren't safe. Clinton would like to make our schools safe again so children can go back to learning reading, writing and arithmetic, not in fear of their lives. Clinton would like to see that everyone who wants to, can attend college," said Kennedy. Kennedy ended by saying, "Voting is important, even if you're a Republican." -Bonnee Breese 11 11 11 43 �Wilkes Contemporary Music Ensemble The Wilkes University Contemporary Music Ensemble, Twinge, presented their first concert of the season on Monday, November 16, in the CPA. The program began with a world premier performance of Reiprich's new composition "Duncan's Charge:' The fanfare was scored for two trumpets, two trombones and piano and was dedicated to Duncan Sanderson Campbell, a two year old resident of WilkesBarre. Following the opening fanfare, junior music major Jennifer Shaw performed "Reflections for Flute Solo" by another Wilkes University junior Bernard Skillens, a music education major. One of the. most demanding 20th century works, "Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion" by Bela Bartok, was performed next. Wilkes students Ron Stabinsky and Tsukasa Mizuguchi performed the piano parts and the percussionists were Shawn Hart and Keith Nichols. The program concluded with 'Terry Riley in C" by Terry Riley.

Amnicola It's nearly impossible to spend a day on campus and not see a copy of one of our student publications. The Beacon, our student newspaper, is a weekly report of events and issues on campus that affect students and alumni. The Manuscript is our literary magazine. It provides the students and faculty with a place to express their creative voices in poetry, prose, drama and art. The Amnicola, which is latin for "one who dwells by the river," is our yearbook that is a summary of the events and memories of the whole year. These three publications are governed by a Publications Committee, but aren't the only things published at Wilkes. Clubs and organizations have their own newsletters and flyers. All of the main publications are made up of students from all majors, making them different from many other organizations, and some say more fun to be a part of. Their job is to keep everyone abreast of the latest news, writing, and to collect memories. Members of the Yearbook Staff are: Row 1: Tracy Berardi, Traci Coulter, and Karen Mason (advisor).

Acutally many of these clubs serve as professional associations for some students, but the participatory nature of these organizations attracts from other disciplines. For example, Cuen' Curtain helps the Theater Department with all of its shows as well as producing a show of its own. The students work long and hard producing, directing, designing, and performing their own production. Other than the ususal fund raising activities, Cuen' Curtain hosts the Alfie Awards each year for anyone who participated in any of the productions that year.

These academic clubs such as Lamda Pi Eta, the biology club, M.E.N.C., the education club, and International Association of Business Communicators, provide a chance for students to meet with others who share the same professional interests. Another advantage is getting to know professors outside the classroom, and learning from their experiences in the professional world. There are about 15 such clubs on campus and they all sponsor a wide variety of speakers, activities, and seminars to get students involved with issues in their particular field. These clubs, however, aren't just for people all of the same major; everyone is invited to learn about other professions. --JADI WILLISON and WENDY RAUGHLEY Shown are members of the Nursing Student Organization: Row 1: Dotttie Craig (advisor), Laura Roberts, Lynette Lutz, Lisa Madden, and Jean Littzi.

DORM LIFE Dorm Life at Wilkes proved to be another fun and exciting adventure for residents. Besides the usual late night pizza deliveries, occasional fire alarm, and random dorm damages, some dorms found ways to pass the time between classes and studying constructively. Dave Unzicker of Roosevelt Hall, and Dave Kashak of Diaz, both resident assistants, got their halls together for a game of tackle football in the fall. The men of Roosevelt won by a single touchdown. On another part of campus, students were toe-tappin' to the beat of a different drummer. Gail Humphrey invited a dance instructor to McClintock Hall to teach the girls country and western dancing. Everyone said it was a real ho-down! Other dorms, however, opted for less athletic pursuits, and had fun cooking, and, of course, eating. The guys at Warner Hall chipped in and threw a "pasta party." They made many different kinds of pasta and enjoyed every bite! Sullivan Hall hosted a barbecue of hot dogs and hamburgers to celebrate spring. Pizza parties, however, were much more popular in the residence halls. Of course, a year wouldn't be complete without the usual pranks residents play on each other. Super soaker water guns were aimed at innocent passerbys from the third floor of Pickering Hall. When there was no one left to shoot, phone tag became the rage. Upper classmen and women would call the pay phone in the hall from the phone in their rooms to watch Freshmen run to the phone only to get a dial tone. There were no hard feelings, and everyone will remember what a great time they had living on campus at Wilkes. --Jennifer Meyers 81 �Delaware Hall u '" ,,.

When most people hear the word college, they usually associate it with being away from home and living in a dorm. There is, however, another side to college life called commuting. In fact, more than half of the students at Wilkes are commuters! Many of them are as involved in campus life as the dorm students are, but the difference is, the commuters can drive home at the end of the day. Many times, both commuters and dorms students "hang out," in places like Stark Lobby and the SUB. The Commuter Council deals with issues facing commuters, like parking, and tries to keep the commuters involved in campus life. Many events, like the Halloween Dance are co-sponsored by the Commuter Council and the Inter-Residence Hall Council. The groups also have an annual trip to New York City, where one way tickets are available for any dorm students who want to go home for Thanksgiving Break. This club gives commuters a chance to meet others like themselves and become more involved in college life while still enjoying the benefits of home cooked meals and their: own bed each night. A new parking committee was formed this year so students and administration can work together to solve the parking problems. The LCTA tried to help out with bus service to a satellite parking lot at Ralston Feild, but the program was cancelled due to lack of interest. Plans to create more parking are in the works, however, and it's just a matter of time before everyone can drive to school, and park too. --Kim Escarge and Wendy Raughley Many commuters, such as Diane Kolbeck, Kim Zackoski, and Kristen Collins, can be found enjoying lunch in the SUB. 92 Waiting in line to buy Those studt the lots are exams. �[FJE ,m home and living in a dorm. of the students at Wilkes are :e is, the commuters can drive l places like Stark Lobby and keep the commuters involved ,uncil and the Inter-Residence ts are available for any dorm involved in college life while n work together to solve the alston Feild, but the program , and it's just a matter of time Waiting in line to buy lunch at the SUB is Cindy Swierczynski.

From Ross Street to South Street, Wilkes students make their apartments home, at least for the eight months they are at school. "Apartment life is great, you don't have to deal with parents or RA's," explained one renter from South Street. "Being the center of campus social life isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be, instead, you have to deal with a landlord and neighbors," she went on to say. If they choose to rent alone or live with roommates, students love their homes, for some of them it's their first taste of life on their own. These apartments, however, are sometimes more of a home to the people who regularly party there than the student that pays the rent. These students recently formed an Off Campus Council (OCC). Like the Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council, the OCC helps students cope with day to day problems, especially neighbors. The OCC sponsors activites to show the neighbors that college students aren't just loud partiers, but people who care about the community they live in. They helped clean up the neighborhood this year during the 'Into the Streets' program, as well as helped the IRHC and CC with Halloween parties, and fruit basket programs. 61 West South St. The tenants of this apartment are Kathy Swan and Susan Bianchi. 155 West River St. Tht: Mc Per 69W~ --Jadi Willison and Wendy Raughley Living at 155 W.

She said she has seen many changes in her department, and the school as a whole has changed a great deal also. She explained, "the rough edges have been smoothed as time passes, and the value that was always at the core of a Wilkes education-strong liberal arts and science programs- has remained intact." In the future, she says Wilkes will get even better. The English department is looking into a writing progran1, a writer in residence, an honor society, more core options and more extra-carricular activities, like the lecture in the fall by Norman Mailer. --Wendy Raughley DEVELOPMENT -- Bet• Sandra Beynon , Margan 118 �,TION -- Richard Chabala, I Dippre, Gerald Cookus. ~schini, Eugene CHEMISTRY -- Row 1: Maria Bianco, Mirtha Roman.

John Lindgren, the University Librarian, feels that the diamond is an interesting metaphor when applied to Wilkes. He says the, "University's durability and luster flourishes in direct proportion to its rediness to be tested by the fires and pressures of conflicting ideas, beliefs, and values." Mr. Lindgren has seen some growth in the library, it is becoming a bigger part of life on campus with all of the new technology that increases students' access to information and knowlege, and more and more students are being taught in classes the value of and how to use the library. In the future he sees technology taking over and access to information inside and outside the library growing. --Wendy Raughley LEARNING CENTER -- Row 1: Patricia Staskiel, Joyce Wong, F 122 �David Pinzola, Kenneth , Brian Redmond, Mike ng: Kuo-Kang Shao, Joel \ - HUMAN RESOURCES -- Rita Zula, Eugene Manganello, Mary Lorusso.

The fan was not talking about the game, or the teams that were in action, but was referring to Colonel Bob and the rest of the Wilkes cheerleaders. This year was memorable, not only because the Wilkes athletic teams did so well, but also because Wilkes University spirit was in full force. From the "Ralston Cheer to 'Time Out' the fans were getting involved and loving it. In addition to Colonel Bob's return to Wilkes as the Colonel, the cheerleaders got a new look. The male cheerleaders were a welcome addition to this year's squad and with their help, the cheerleaders cheered loud and clear. The fans had a great time watching them and the athletic teams enjoyed the support. According to senior Sandy Frisbie, 'Thanks to Colonel Bob and the Cheerleaders, there is a renewed spirit at Wilkes. They make students want to go out and support our teams. We hope that spirit will be at Wilkes to stay. --Jadi Willison II • >. ,:~· '.,..._ }f·· -~ 11 "GOooooooooooooo Wilkes!!!!!!!!!"

One senior member, from each of this year's athletic teams, was chosen to be part of this group. The athletes were nominated by the Wilkes University Athletic office and were chosen on the basis of athletic performance, leadership and outstanding dedication to the sport they participate in. This year's outstanding senior athletes are: Paul Jellen- men's soccer; Sue Ketner- volleyball; Jason Langdon- football; Rich Bonning- cross country; Joe Natale- men's basketball; Missie Chinchar- women's basketball; Eric Feese-wrestling; John Comerford- baseball; Hillary Blake- softball and Shawn Felty- golf. Since many senior participants in the Wilkes University athletic programs have contributed to making the athletic teams winners, it was difficult to decide who stood apart from the others. These members of the Class of 1993 represent their respective teams and teamates who are responsible for the winning teams that Wilkes University produces each season. Rich Bonning- Cross Cou Paul is a four year member of the Men's Soccer team and has been playing soccer for fifteen years. He is a history major and he holds the Wilkes record for most goals in career and in season. Paul said, I would choose Wilkes all over again if I had the chance, it is such a good setting and I enjoyed my four years."

When everyone was finished admiring each other's fancy clothes, they sat down to dinner . Before the salad, however Gene Consylea, Senior Class President said a few words to the class about graduation tickets and thanked his roomates for dressing him properly, again. Dean Lampe followed with a prayer, and dinner began. After the french onion soup, chicken, and incredible chocolate mousse dessert, seniors hit the dance floor.

Individualism on the Wilkes campus thrives within our diversified community. From the obvious to the obscure, our differences become ours The undeniable diversity on campus - commuters and dorm students; science, business, and liberal arts majors; American and foreign-born students and faculty - supports an even larger community of acceptance. ��By embracing our diversity, we promote our tJnity and \ achieve oneness through cooperation. Individuals I I working together transform ! themselves into a collective \ union of diverse yet similar goals and aspirations. The AIDS Memorial Quilt displayed at Wilkes from November 30 through December 2, embodies the fundamental principles of Unity Amidst Diversity. The names on the quilt and those involved in its display represent all mankind in the fight against a common enemy. Brought together through diversity, the Wilkes tradition of unity nurtured a community of solidarity during 1993-94. .. ��(V 1"rom tlie .91.ias Memoriaf Quift to tlie (jeorge Carun concert, tlie 'Wi[/(?5 campus was host to man!/ diverse events in tlie 1993-1994 !/ear.

Once again, university clubs were out in full force, trying to rally new members to their signup sheets, baiting freshmen with various munchables, and signing up old members who felt obligated to take part in the freeloading, too. This year the students AIDS Awareness Committee make its first appearance, giving out red ribbons to every-one, and displaying a video featuring the AIDSMemorial Quilt, which was due to visit the school a few months later. Of course the old clubs made their return too; Cue'n Curtain made its annual trip across Chase Lawn with its prophetic rubber chicken, and the engineers showed off another feat of science, this year a robotic arm. Also appearing among the crowds was an extremely random monkey, but no one could quite figure out what club he was affiliated with. So, in short, Club Day was once again a strange yet decided succcess. Make a wish! Students actively sign up for various clubs on campus. Sign up before I cry.

Festivities commenced on September 30th with the traditional lighting of the bonfire. The crowd's enthusiastic cheers reverberated throughout the chilly night air as seniors were recognized for their involvement in various sports teams, as the Homecoming Court was selected, and as the Delaware Valley dummy was ignited. The revelries continued with the Homecoming Dance, held at Genetti' s, on October 1st. Taking as its theme "Diamonds Are Forever," the dance attracted a large crowd who enjoyed the buffet style dinner as well as the dancing. A one dollar donation from each ticket was collected for a local charity. Activities culminated on October 2nd as throngs of people gathered in the warm weather to support their Alma Mater. Before the exciting game between the Colonels and the hosted Delaware Valley, students in McClintock Hall exulted in their winning of the Decorating of the Dorms contest. The homecoming court was also introduced as members were driven onto the field in sleek convertibles. The announcement of Homecoming King and Queen, Joe Schlaegel and Julie DePue, rendered hugs and cheers as both were crowned. Colonel Bob rallied the crowds as he rode unicycles, a go-cart, and a horse, threw Hershey Kisses and footballs, and performed cheers as the Colonels played hard to achieve an overall victory of (score). Homecoming 1993 was indeed one of many events to underscore the Wilkes tradition of unity amidst diversity. Just a little porn porn action. 12 Worshipful Wilkes fans.

The most recognizable face on campus, Wilkes mascot Colonel Bob adds an exciting twist to all campus sports events. The teams all agree that Colonel Bob gives above and beyond the call of duty. Dressed in his uniform and sporting two unicycles, a go-cart, and a bicycle, our mascot proudly supports the teams at all of the gameseven those played away from Wilkes. Colonel Bob's dedication lasted through the entire football season and included many unexpected surprises: a horse at homecoming, an entrance by helicopter, and a police limo escort. What's next? For Colonel Bob, a losing bet with the football team ended the season. The last game of the season, against King's, found the team undefeated. In response to a bet that it ~ouldn'tl>e done, Colonel Bob shaved a mohawk and a flying "W" into hjs hair. Coldnel Bob certainly adds a new dimension to the concept of team spirit. Colqnel Bob's dynamic spirit will be well-missed on campus. With many thanks and fond memories, the entire campus wishes Bob well as he leaves Wilkes with the class of 1994.

Carlin brought his trademark blend of scathing social commentary and clever word play to bear on everything from the Pope and "Yuppies" to more familiar Carlin topics like his pet's antics, dirty words, and the "little things we all do" but never talk about. A veteran comedian, Carlin became famous in the seventies for his "seven dirty words you can't say on TV" which satirized FCC censorship of vulgarity on the airwaves and which ultimately resulted in a supreme court ruling on the issue. In addition to having comedy specials on HBO and keeping pace on the college circuit, he recently started his own sit-com on the Fox network, "The George Carlin Show." Showing no signs of slowing down, Carlin, decked out in a black t-shirt with his graying hair pulled back in a pony-tail, treated the Wilkes crowd to over an hour of fast-paced, hard ball stand-up comedy not intended for the timid. Carlin's routine cast irreverent jabs at sensitive topics, like abortion, the Catholic Church, and at our deepest inhibitions about embarrassing moments, like farting, sex, and masturbation. No matter how sensitive the topic, however, Carlin's real focus is often language and how our words humorously reveal our deeper common human fears, frustrations and anxieties. For his long-standing fans and for a new generation of college students seeing him for the first time, Carlin proved once again that his wit and his appeal are enduring, and he left us all looking forward to seeing him again.

Those affected by homelessness have diverse and varied backgrounds. They include those on the borderlines of poverty who were once thriving members of their communities. Perhaps most disturbing is the incidence of childhood homelessness. Children, the most diverse among those affected, are not given the opportunities to express their individual hopes and dreams without the proper shelters from the harsh life of the streets. Perhaps with the INTO THE STREETS program, the Wilkes community can continue to promote its theme of UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY. �M urder ystery "Who Dunnit?" The turn out was better than was expected. for the Murder Mystery Event. The Lab thearte was packed, but there was just enough room for eveyone to enjoy themselves. Everyone was involved in this murder mystery play. The actors would give the audience clues and tell the audience about themself. So, we would be able to figure out who is the killer. Then students were asked who thought the killer was, and the person with the right response will be given a prize. But since there are so many people, the card with the right answer go through another draw, and the final four will get the prizes. No applause - Just throw money!

As the orators read their selections, the infamous Kirby ghost made a horrifying appearance on the second floor landing before disappearing into the night for another year. After the literary celebration, refreshments were served in the Kirby Salon as students and faculty celebrated the holiday. -Suzanne Stchur -Lynn Symons The first applicant for Wilkes' pharmacy school Welcome to the financial aid office, may I help you!

From alternative rock to original songs, the five bands who competed successfully proved both their talent and skill. 53 �Virtuality "Welcome to the future." Virtual reality, the newest technological wonder to enter the cultural mainstream, made a popular appearance on the Wilkes campus during the spring semester. Students and faculty alike joined in the fun as they experienced a world almost like their own.

An excerpt from the Memoirs of a Commuter. "Would somebody please turn off that radio?" I mumble into the dark room. After realizing that it is my stereo that is the source of the disturbance, I fumble for the snooze button. After 10 more minutes of rest, the radio blares again. If I don't get up now, I will never get a parking place. After a quick shower, I dig out some clothes from my closet that don't look too wrinkled. I grab a doughnut from a box on the counter and take a sip of orange juice. Collecting up all of my books and papers, I drag myself outside and get into my car. This is the fun part of the day -- the 20 minute drive to the campus. I find myself either stuck behind a 10- year old car that could not go any faster even if Superman were pushing it, or being pushed behind by a gas guzzling, air polluting 18 -wheeler. The campus parking lots are once again already filled. I am forced to drive in circles looking for an available meter, and a parking space big enough for my car. I fish into my pockets for my always present resevoir of quarters for the meters. The cops in this town are like hounds. Once they hear the click of the meter running out of time, the pen is out and writing a ticket. To take advantage of the nice weather, Lisa Kinns and Nancy Kulikoski decided to Off to classes, I hoist my bookbag onto my study outside. shoulder. It's filled with 500 page books that each weigh 10 lbs. If I had enough time before my first class, I would stop at my locker, but thanks to the parking situation, I will have just enough time to get my seat before the bell rings. Lunch is an enjoyable time. I sit in the SUB and chat with friends, catching up on the latest news or sit catching up on my assignments. And then the interlude is over, I am thrown back into the rush of the day with no real place to rest. At the end of the day, I fortunately find my car without a ticket. This was probably because every hour or so I was outside putting more money in the meter. I throw my books into the front seat, get in , and take a minute's rest. Waiting for a clear space in the rush hour traffic, I pull out and find myself going on the same route I will take the next day, and the day after that, and so on ... Sitting in the lobby, Marty Vinovrski finishes up some homework. 74 Enjoying themseli Between classes, many cc and Cathy Kobilinski can �Nancy Kulikoski decided to homework. Enjoying themselves on the New York City trip are Nick Specht, Charlene Leonard, and Cathy Bigus. Between classes, many commuters such as Barbara Ann Talaska and Cathy Kobilinski can be found taking a break in Stark lobby. Many commuters such as Lori Bantel rent lockers from the school so that they do not have to carry their belongings around with them all day. 75 �Dorm Life Barre Residents are: Mark Cerniglia, Aldo Castellani, Paul Laidacker, Jeff Costello, Bob Delbo, Brian McCoy, Brad Smith, Jim Savage, Andy Carter, EricMorinello, Doug Williams, Stuart Whiteleather, Jason Smith, Desmond Jackson, Adam Flatt, Jennifer Heinzerling, Ann Peters, Dawn Calvert, Christina Poff, Kristine Ferrell, Dana Griesenback, Kelly Witts, Stacey Kelly, Lisa Tinney, Laura Schmidt, Lisa Mastruzzo, Sabeth Ryan, Heather Petruzelli, Tracey Engle, Patricia Ward, Paula VanFossen, Jill Maziekas, Heather Wells, Janelle Bugg, Leeanne Carabetta, Caryn Birnbaum and Kathryn Arruda.

Is it noisy, overcrowded living quarters, or a place to develop a lasting freindship and have a good time? Many of the students who live in the dorms have stated that it is a little of both. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Douglas Shaw, R.A. of Diaz, claims that living in a dorm makes it "pretty easy to find someone who can help you in a subject at a minute's notice." Jennifer Gregory, R.A. of the second floor of Evans added that there is "always someone around to talk to." Many see dorm life as a learning experience. You "learn consideration and tolerance of another," claims . Holli Root, R.A. of McClintock. It is also a chance to see what living on your own is like added Monal Jagani, RA. of Dirksen. You learn how to get along with others while living in a group setting. Dorm life also has its disadvantages. One is the fact that it is "noisy at times" and "not a very good place to study for an exam," claims Jen Gregory. Several students living in Weiss cite not knowing some people and not trusting them when your door is open as a disadvantage. Others include gossip, non-personal showers, and the fight for bathroom·or lounge (TV) time. Each dorm sponsors several events each year for its residents in addition to having dorm meetings, educationals, and socials. Many dorms participated in the Homecoming contest by decorating thier dorms. Residents of Butler planned to play skirmish while Sterling had a pool tournament. Dirksen Hall had a pizza party and planned to take a trip to Taco Bell and to go bowling. Some dorms such as McClintock, Weiss, and Sterling contributed to AIDS Awareness by attending seminars and speeches and helping with the AIDS quilt. Some of the activities held by Weiss Hall included making spaghetti one night, painting eggs, having an Easter egg hunt and listening to Betsey Condron talk about the history of various buildings on campus. Also, McClintock, Sullivan, and Sterling got together for a picnic. Dorm life is not for everyone, but for those who choose to live in a dorm, it is a truly memorable experience.

Although the loss seemed like a crumbled dream to the players, the foundation which the team was built upon continued to stand strong. That foundation would be Coach Addy Malatesta. Coach Malatesta began to build her winning team four years ago by recruiting what would become this years captains: Toni Farinella, Justine Nemshick, and Ali Adomiak. Malatesta continued to build the team by picking up strong players, such as, Amy Pylke, Kim Kaskel, and Tracy Engle . What makes Malatesta a winning coach is the support she offers atheticaly, academicaly, and emtionaly to her players. This support was what held the team together as they eagerly awaited the response of the committee after the loss of Messiah to find out whether or not they would have one more chance to compete in 1993 season. When the response was positive the team knew they had one more chance to walk away champions. With only one more week to extend the season, each player gave a little more of their ability and personality to contribute to the common goal which they had not only workd for all season, but in some cases for four years. Steph and Ali can't hide their happiness after winning the ECAC playoff game. - 1st Row (L-R): Ali Adomiak, Phuong Bui, Angie Polny, Mel Simoncavage, Toni Farinella, Becky Farrington. 2nd Row: Julie Crawford, Steph Hastings, Amy Pyle, Justine Nemshick, Kim Tremel, Tonya Masenheimer, Lee Meyers, Tracy Engle . 3rd Row: Assistant Coach Mary Jo Hromchak, Christy Palilonis, Sherri O'Brien, Nancy Lowery, Theresa Havel, Kim Kaskel, Sue Richardson, Noell Brooks, Head Coach Addy Malatesta. 101 �Gaining the Right Attitude The 1993 women's tennis team enjoyed its best season in years. A 5-7 season successfully ended in the MAC Freedom League with a 3-3 record and a MAC trophy in the doubles division. A very strong singles lineup, led by Gina Taylor, Jessica Bixler, and Karen Beling, provided a winning attitude for the team and the growing tennis program. Two singles players made it into the tournament play, however Denise Motts lost in the first round while Gina Taylor made it to the Semi-finals. In the doubles division, the duo of Beling and Bixler went to the MAC playoffs and came back with the trophy.

Several team members also received individual recognition. Chris Erb received first team honorable mention and offense team MVP. Chad Heffner and Dean Kontometros received second team honorable mention, and Heffner received defense team MVP. Viewing the team's status, Matt Rosenberg speaks on behalf of his team, "This year was a bit disappointing for upper classmen as well as [for] freshmen.

Junior midfielder Tina Hite received the All-MAC Award and offensive MVP, and Sara Friedrick received the defensive MVP.

Although "struggle" characterized the season, the girls managed to win seven of the twentyfour matches. They also received second place in the Luzerne County Recreational Tournament, and they beat King's College in one regular season game with a score of 1510. Team member Wendy O'Conner views her team's position with optimism, "The good thing about being at the bottom now means that we can build up a strong new program in the next two years."

Coached by John Reese and Al Zellner, the ten wrestlers confronted such impediments as lack of depth and occurrence of injuries. The determined team, however, did not allow these obstacles to hinder them from achieving success. The Colonels won the Wilkes Duals Tournament for the second consecutive year, defeating Carson-Newman, Coppin State, Central Connecticut State, and Seton Hall. With the assistance of these four wins, Coach Reese attained his 500th, ranking him second with the most wins in wrestling history. VanScoten, hailingfromEaston, Pennsylvanis, won the fourth annual Wilkes Open and the fourth Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association with a 229 record. Although the members viewed the season of 10-13 as less-than-spectacular, they optimistically agree that the 1994 -95 season will be a big improvement.

Their 8-15 season record (5-9 in the Mac Freedom League) can't come close to reflecting the energy that each team member put forth. Lee Ann Azarewicz and Michelle Shaffer led the team in points per game and along with Jamie Land, earned various accolades, including Colonel of the Week. Coach Haag was proud of the Lady Colonels, "Though we faced a lot of adversity, our players were able to put the "big picture" in mind, and worked hard to improve every day."

In the MAC playoffs, the team played well against Messiah, losing, however, in 13 innings 4-5. All in all, "it was the year to break records," exclaims Coach Malatesta, who retires after this season. Several team players also achieved individual success. Amy Rosengrant, Stacey Boyer, and Sandie Warntz received all-MAC players; Sue Moran tripled for one season (6); Stephanie Hastings and Warntz had the most hits in one game (5); and Warntz finished her career with 265 AB, 108 hits, 19 doubles, and 11 triples.

This past year, some of the performers included comedian George Carlin, Blues singer James Kelly, Songwriter/Singer Barbara Bailey Hutchison, and Acopella Group J.Q. and The Bandits.

We want you to continue your interest in your Alma Mater. A University represents a strong bond among the alumni, those students presently in residence, and those who will be students in the future. All have the interests of the University in common. As Wilkes goes from strength to strength, each of the three groups will benefit-- the alumni by the enhanced reputation of their University, the present students from the improved education, and the future students from the enhanced opportunities Wilkes will offer them. We are terribly proud of you. We want you to be proud of Wilkes. As you carry your education into the world and achieve the many kinds of success that will be yours, remember Wilkes University. We need you to help recruit future students, to spread far the fame of Wilke's fair name, and to provide financial support so that Wilkes can keep improving. Your marriage with Wilkes needs to be for life. We are eager to see you when you come home to Wilkes. From all of us who are continuing at your Alma Mater, our best wishes for a purposeful and successful future as well-prepared graduates of Wilkes University. Christopher N.

A highlight of Senior Week, the picnic was a chance for graduating seniors and faculty to enjoy the afternoon of food, sun and games.

The event, a chance to wear something other than jeans, was one final occasion to spend with the friends each graduate has made over the past four years. After dinner, the graduates and attending faculty headed to the dance floor as a D.J. played songs that appealed to all. Lasting from 6pm to 1am, the evening was full of new-found enjoyment and never-ending memories. Shelly L. Kolb Joseph J. Koury Stephen M. Koutch Kevin Kratzer Laura E. Krombel-Roberts Steven C.

The graduates began the ceremony by passing through an honor guard formed by their professore before proceeding to the field. Once all the graduates and faculty were seated and welcoming remarks given, the spirit of the class appeared on stage in the person of Colonel Bob, whose levity shone through as he "tripped" to the stage to deliver his remarks. The highlight of the ceremony for each of the graduates however, came when the degrees were finally distributed. Keynote speaker Dr. Katherine DeAngelis, herself a Wilkes graduate, perhaps stated the class of 1994's accomplishments best when she stated that "You can do anything you want, if you want it badly enough."

The student bod!j and facult!j grew rapidl!j in the 1950's, and expansion into graduate studies followed in the 1960's and 1910's. Wilkes gained further recognition as an increasingl!j sophisticated regional center for teaching, academic research, cultural affairs, and public service programs in the 1980's. 130 1990 the college was designated as Wilkes IAniversitlj, beginning a new era of progress as an increasingl!j distinguished and prominent academic institution. Preparing for future academic needs, in ~ugust of 1995 Wilkes plans to open its $1 million classroom building on South ;rank/ in Street. The 55.000 square foot facilitlj will house the School of liberal ~rts and Human Sciences and the School of l!3usiness Societ0 and Pub/ ic Policlj. Common facilities such as computer labs and student/facult!j lounges will also occup!j part of tne new building. The construction of this facilitlj is the latest step in a $25 million campus development project announced in ~ugust 1993. 9n addition to the classrooms and office buildings, Wif kes will also renovate the Stark [earning Center and its laboratories to accommodate the new Pharmac0 Program and wif I add a new student center and dining facilitlj. Completion of the current project wi/1 certainl!j strengthen Wif kes' liberal education which is a balance between theoretical and practical application of know/ edge in preparation for professional use.

The following day, Wilkes hosted Juanita lor the annual Homecoming football game at Ralston Field.

All over the Wilkes campus, and spilling across the Market Street Bridge, inebriated students frightened local residents with shirts featuring twisted alcoholic parodies of popular movies. Quentin Tarentino flicks seemed to be especially well-represented, with the teams "Natural Born Drinkers" and "Reservoir Red Dogs" making their appearances. Students competed in keg rolls, tug-of-war, wheel-barrow races, a volleyball tournament, and the challenging amoeba race, in which students get to celebrate their primordial ancestry-many practiced for this at parties the night before. "The Wizard of Oz" won the first-place prize, second place was taken by "ET (Extremely Trashed)," and third place went to "Revenge of the Nerds." Local residents are still recovering, but are quite thankful that the $760 raised in proceeds will be donated to the Make-AWish Foundation, rather than future keg parties. So at least more came out of it all than a few hangovers. Laura Scapperotto joins in on the ameoba.

This year the theme was Masquerade. Couples and singles attended the event at Genusie banquet hall. There was a good turn-out. Everyone was dancing to 80s music. Once in awhile a slow song would draw the crowd to the dance floor with their date. This event was sponsored by the Student government.

The slogan of Oxfam says that "the roots of hunger lie not in natural disasters, scarcity of food, or people's unwillingness to work hard, but rather in poverty and injustice, unequal distribution of resources, and the debt burden of poor countries." Students were shown a video on Oxfam' s beliefs and then pieces of paper were handed out. Depending upon the picture on your paper, you were placed in the first, second, or third world. The first world represented countries like the US, Canada, and Japan. A small majority ate roast beef and fine wine and were waited on. The second world served themselves and ate rice and beans. They represented countries making under $7,000 a year. The third world ate rice with cabbage leaves (no utensils were provided) and drank dirty water. They represented countries such as Vietnam, El Salvador and Sudan. With all three classes in one room, they were able to view each other and their individual situations. Discussions were led by Dr. Holiday Adair who is a psychology teacher at Wilkes. Each world was able to voice their opinion. Christiana Poff (a sophomore who ate in the first world) commented "We are extremely lucky. Being able to look at 2nd and 3rd worlds we feel guilty only because we see them." Emily Forman (a sophomore who ate in the third world) felt degraded because "the 1st world threw their scraps at us." The banquet ended with a few startling facts: • 30 million Americans are hungry. • 1.2 billion people world wide live in absolute poverty. • The top fifth of the people on the global economic ladder enjoy 60 time the goods and services of the lower fifth. • One third of the grain grown in the world and one-half of the fish are caught and fed to animals in wealthy countries. Dean Allen shows the rest of the third world how to properly use a cabbage leaf to pick up rice.

The work-study program on the campus employs students in many different areas and disciplines. Students have the opportunity to choose between working in an office or laboratory, or doing specialized work in their major area of study. This program grants several advantages to those who partake. First, it helps students become more involved with the ongoings of the university. There is also the ability to work more closely with a professor in gaining valuable experience needed after graduation. Also, the supervisors of these students act not only as a "boss," but also as a guiding teacher into the real world by offering support and confidence. Work study students enjoy their jobs as student broadcasters during sporti ng events. A work study student empl oyed by the Volunteer Services office learns how to file.

It is a social event in which students come to solve a staged murder. Approximately 35 people were present this year at the Sub with their pencil and paper ready to solve a crime. The person who guessed the correct killer won either a T-shirt or $50. At the conclusion, six individuals chose the correct killer, three of who received a T-shirt. The Murder Mystery was a Top Hat production. Right: Students listen as the actors and the actresses recount their own stories. �Left: Timmy, one of the actors, explains his involvement in the crime.

Imagine sitting in a room and being told by a ten year old that there is a madness going around that kills and you have to face its music. That's what happend when H ydeia Broadbent of Las Vegas came to talk about the disease that is killing her and many globally today. She told us that A.I.D.S. is the third largest killer there is and safe sex helps to reduce the chances of infection. She explained to a packed Dorhty Dickson Darte Center that, "five minutes of thrill is not worth A.I.D.S." She, of course, knows only about not wanting A.I.D.S. One reason is she has to live the rest of her life with a back-pack full of medicines that are injected into her system daily. She urged that the high risk, unsafe sex practicers (junior high to college students) to practice safe sex. "That's not the way it goes, thinking you can't get it!" said Hydeia. Listen to the wise words of a tenyear- old this time, it could save your life. And always remember,"IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!" Top-Hydeia at Ice-A-Rama.

A light shone throughout Wilkes as students, faculty, and community residents formed a semi-circle and listened to the inspiring words of a resident who is living with A.I.D.S. The Anonymous speaker explained how A.I.D.S. has affected everyone not just a select few people. Stillness greeted the first candle that was lit. After the light passed from one person to the next, Wolrd A.I.D.S. Day became brightened with hope. �BLOCK PARTY!! This was the first annual event for both Wilkes students and the students of nearby schools. The event provided a day full of fun, music, games, and other exciting activities. A variety of fun games attracted the attention of many students. It was set up like a small carnival and included three small swimming pools, bungee running, and the human spinning wheel. There was also Sumo wrestling, Twister, a softball game, and sand volleyball. Some of the campus clubs such as Campus Interfaith, Volunteer Services, Multicultural Students Coalition, took part in the event. Vendors were there with all kinds of food and drink for those active participants. The radio station was there playing hit songs. Tribes was also at the scene of the block party, performing live. The Off Campus Council was responsible for making this event happen. They hope to keep this event running in the near future, so come out and support your fellow students. �.. ..... - 4 - - - - - - - .. "~ .. - ,..__,___ .... ____ _ ��0 �NOT A ·z.. IN SIGHT AT THE PAJAMY JAMI The Pajamy Jam Party had a great turnout from the Wilkes community once again this year. DJ Mel spun a motley of tunes including rap, reggae, and dance music. The vibes blasted all night in the Cafeteria. The dress code for the evening for Wilkes students, campus and offcampus was silk pajamas and cotton boxers. In these comfortable clothes, the students were jamming on the floor. A special appearance and performance by the Body Snatcher and the Enuch made the evening an even bigger success. The DJ's played hits with great rhythm and soul. The party was the main attraction for that Friday evening and there was not a "ZZZZ" in sight. DJ Mel testing out his equipment.

Believers hoped to catch a glimpse of the famed Kirby Hall ghost on the night of the annual Halloween reading. On Friday, October 28th, members of the English department read poetry, excerpts, and short stories appropriate to the occasion. Listeners included students, faculty, and even some strangers, including the enigmatic "Red Devil" woman. Professor Joseph Battaglia opened the reading with a selection of "some never before read aloud" original poetry. "The situation hasn't been strange enough," said Battalgia. Titles for the evening included "Comprehension of the Universe," "Our Heavenly Body," and "Good Humor." Student Darlene Jones, dressed in a black evening gown, described in a clipped, measured voice, the properties of a witch (we're still wondering about her). All eyes were on Darlene as she warned, "Witches. They're part of our world." Other participants included Dr. Darin Fields, Darren Elias, Dr. Lee Terry, Lisa Mastruzzo, and Ed McGinnis. Kirby Hall was dressed for the occasion. The grandfather ~lock was wrapped in cobwebs and candelabras graced the fireplace mantle with flickering flames throwing shadows on the ceiling. Perhaps most startling, especially to those seated close to the massive staircase, was the neatly knotted noose which hung straight down from the floor above. All in all, a well-"executed" reading.

It is designed to honor college freshmen who earned grade point averages in the top ten percent for their first semester of course work. The oldest and biggest freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma first began at the University of Illinois in 1923, and was voted into the Association of College Honor Societies in 1937. In 1993, Wilkes University began its own chapter of this organization. At a ceremony held during the spring of 1994, the first 44 members were inducted, along with 9 honorary members. Each year, additional freshmen are chosen to take part in this group through their time at Wilkes. In order to be eligible for the lifetime membership of this society, a freshman must have a cumulative gradepoint average of at least 3.5 at the end of any curricular semester during their first year at Wilkes. Under the advising of Dr. Lawrence Kuhar, the organization held a T-shirt/baseball cap sale in Spring of 1995 and helped during the Open House with recruiting. �jfamtlp jfcub d to honor college -heir first semester of 3igma first began at the )llege Honor Societies in ~ation.

The team played in the ECAC playoffs again. Just looking at the wins and losses of this team is an injustice though. The field hockey team is an outstanding group. It is not every-team that can put each of its players on the field and still feel confident with the group out there. No matter what the statistics show or what the press prints, every member of this team is a star in one way or another. There are some positions on the field that just make for stardom and others that seem to be thankless. It takes an entire team to play the game and develop the right combination. You need the entire team on and off the field to put their personal goals into proper perspective and set the team's goals highest. It takes dedication and determination in a special kind of person. Wilkes was lucky to have an entire team with these special qualitites pushed by strong leadership, leadership not just from one or two people but from within the makeup of each member. Attending a game or practice, one quickly gets the distinct impression that here is a team with an intense desire to do well but are yet supportive and friends to each other. Each athletic team has a job to do and a goal to fulfil. Not every team is lucky enough to have coaches who can lead their team to accoplish the goals they set and maintain the status of friends. Thanks to Addy & M.J. the Lady Colonels were able to win the ECAC Division Ill Mid -Atlantic field hockey title for the second straigth year and set a school record for wins while developing a spirit of comradery within the ranks. 1st Row (L to R) - Shannon O'Neill, Jeanette Uhl, Brandi Erlacher, Steph Hastings, Amy Pyle, Nikki Reisinger, Carrie Chipego, Jessica Azarewicz. 2nd Row - Assistant Coach Mary Jo Hromchak, Heather Evanish, Angie Polny, Heather Quick, Tracy Engle, Phuong Bui, Tonya Maenheimer, Lee Meyers, Head Coach Addy Malatesta. 3rd Row - Kim Tremel, Becky Farrington, Nancy Lowery, Sue Richardson, Noell Brooks, Kim Kaskel, Theresa Havel, Christy Palilonis, Sherri O'Brien, Laura Gantz. �Wom,e n' s Tennis Left to right, Row 1: S.

' ~,~ -~ . ,1.'f4'; ,' Ji - Stupid Gate Cards More memoirs from a commuter "Where is it? I left it here last night. Oh no, there are two cars waiting behind me." Then I realize that talking to myself is not going to help me find my gate access card. Once again, I have misplaced that 2X4 piece of cardboard that allows me entrance into what I call the "student parking complex." A piece of plywood is the only thing that separate s me from getting my car into one of the last available parking spaces in the lot. Searching under the passenger seat, I finally achieve my goal I find my card. After rolling down the window, I quickly swipe my card. Much to my dismay, the light goes red meaning that the gate will not open. I try again, this time with some patience, and am finally rewarded with the 1green light and watch with triumph as the gate goes up. I pull my car into a narrow space, toss some apologies to-the people in the cars behind me, and run off to class. This semester, I have been bestowed with the honor of receiving a much sought after parking permit. But along with that privilege came a semester fee and the constant worries that security will tow my car if the permit is in the wrong place in the window. But this procedure is a definite step up from the marathon race to the meters every hour. . As I enter my second year on this campus, I am pleased to see that there are opportunities for commU:ters to become involved with the school. Of course I had to be willing to look around for them and I was not disappointed with my efforts, for I created some new friendships and also became a participating member in life on campus. In general, this year is shaping up to be pretty enjoyable. As far as the gate card is concerned, hey, maybe I'll get smart and hang it on a chain from the rear view mirror. 1 Corinne Thomas successfully swipes her gate card to enter the parking lot. �caa'eff!1Cs --CL UNDER NSTRUCTI o travel along the road to success, students at Wilkes are guided b!j a vast arralj of distinguished and prestigious professors.

Faculty... 176 ,j - J ::J7 ! �There is so much more to Wilkes than just studying. Enjoying your free time is almost as important as studying. Many times around campus, there are groups of friends sitting and talking. In a tree behind Chase Hall, next to the bookstore and along the walkways are places where friends have gathered. Talking with friend is not the only thing to do on campus. There are many events at Darte Center that are enjoyed by Wilkes students, faculty and the public. Before we socialize and are entertained, we learn in Wilkes latest addition on South Franklin Street, the Classroom Office Building. Wilkes provides us with a well-rounded academic and social life. 4 �"Do not look back in anger or look forward in fear but around in awareness." 5 �The past, present and future came together on Thursday, August 31 during the 1995 Summer Commencement and Dedication of the John Wilkes Statue. On this sunny late-Summer day, 62 Wilkes students received their degrees and prepared to step into that future while a figure from the past, 18thcentury political reformer and University namesake John Wilkes, was honored with the unveiling of a bronze statue in his likeness. 6 ��As much as things change here at Wilkes University, so much still stays the same. You can remember the walks to class with one of your close friends that you never got to see enough of, like Sue George and Linda Chuong. Another thing that doesn't change on campus is the frequent visits to the John Farley Library. There are times when you would rather not be there, but there are also times when it is nice to sit and just read the newspaper in the solitude that only a library can provide. Wilkes also never forgets what makes it the university that it is today. The John Wilkes statue reminds us of the reason why we are Wilkes. On a more contem- porary level, our Alma Mater is known for its small classes and teachers that interact with students enthusiastically. 8 �. ' \ .' ~~ \ \~'.. , .

It started off on Thursday with Homecoming elections. The candidates for Queen were Holli Root, Jodi Depue, Kristen McNally, Katie Holliday, Karen Bednarczyk, Kim Howells, Mary Jo Cunningham, Kellie Klein, Amy Kuzmick and Kim Kaskel. All of these lovely candidates had an equal counterpart that could possibly have been her King for Homecoming Weekend . The candidates for King were Scott Mengle, Sean Gorman, JJ Grube, Tom Horvat, Brian Adams , David Habowski , Andrew Carter, Ali Quereshi, RobertStelnberger, and Mike LaMura. The crowning of the King Ali Quereshi and Queen Kim Kaskel happened at halftime during the Wilkes / Kings football game. The Wilkes Colonels defeated their top rival 29 to 15 . The Impressive game played at Ralston Field had led players such as Elijah Powell and Mike Conaghan. The team showed their sttength to their coach Joe DeMelfi, and proved that the Wilkes Football team should be taken seriously. There was much celebration throughout the weekend. The football game was not the only thing to celebrate. Capin Hall held an Open House, the Darte Center had its thirtieth anniversary, the Edward Darling, Jr. Theatre was dedicated and the Pep Rally were all events to celebrate. One of the biggest events was the Homecoming Dinner Dance at Gennetti's ballroom. The students of Wilkes looked their best, dancing the night away. The theme was "These Are the Days'' . .. to remember. Nothing could be more truthful when it comes to Homecoming Weekends at Wilkes.

Such a way of living can only be considered as a self-constraining, self-defeating, and eventually, a self-disappointing way of living. When individuals develop a pragmatic view of life determined by their special view or interest of religion, philosophy, morality, ethics, their rhetorical approach to any issue creates a causal relationship within the limits of their own interest. Whatever interests them less, or better stated, whatever isn't considered worth their while because of the closed-mindedness developed by their pragmatic determinism is simply rejected as false. This approach towards life prevents individual growth and creates only an illusion of "what is" because the only response these individuals can perceive is already predetermined by a selected and limited view. The philosophy behind the liberal arts education at Wilkes has made me realize that as individuals, we can not afford to view life as a subject of study which revolves around one law, but rather an object of study which revolves around an infinite body of man-made theories. And these theories, both past and present, when combined may imply a universal theory which may in fact shed some light upon past, present, and future reasoning with an eclectic view, but not however, an absolute law. History has shown human kind is right only for a moment because eventually he or she realizes that their views have been limited by the constant progression of deterministic reasoning. R.

Whatever orth their while determinism is ividual growth and A Few Words From the President To The Graduating Class of 1996: You leave a changing Wilkes University for a dramatically changing world. The Class of 1996 has had a very special role in the campus transformation. You were the beneficiaries of new and renovated buildings as well as of a changing campus ambiance typified by the new Fenner Quadrangle, the improvements to Ralston Field, and the new statue of John Wilkes. More alterations and additions are planned for the years immediately ahead, and I hope you will return to campus and take pride in the increasing beauty and enhanced facilities of your alma mater. I write this letter just after participating in the Senior Awards Ceremony in the Edward Darling Theatre where the quality of our class and the opportunities flowing from your Wilkes education were everywhere in evidence. You continue the traditions of academic excellence that go back to the earliest years of Wilkes. You also have consolidated the tradition of community service that was still in its infancy during your freshman year. You have availed yourselves of the cooperative education and internship opportunities more than any previous class. In these and other ways you have set new standards and established new traditions affecting both the academic program and the co-curricular program at Wilkes. In athletics, both in men's and women's sports, you have reached new heights that your successors will be motivated to climb--and exceed. In short, you have helped me make Wilkes a better place. We hope your pride in your alma mater will continue to grow and that the leadership of your class in joining with a growing Wilkes Alumni Association will help strengthen the alumni's involvement and support of the University. Come back often. Stay in touch. Be Wilkes proud and encourage others to become beneficiaries of a Wilkes education. Good luck to the Class of 1996! Christopher N. Breiseth ���CLUB DAY ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL OCCASION Every fall, between Stark Learning Center and Chase Lawn, Club Day is held to recruit new and old members into signing up for clubs and special activities that coordinated by students to keep Wilkes students entertained and be active in volunteer services activities. Some major clubs make their appearance on a sunny day were Amnicola, Manuscript, Circle K, and Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith. Among these clubs there was a tarot cards reader (sponsored by the Programing Board) on location reading students their fortune and giving their horescope for the year. Club Day is not just another event. It is an event that students can come out and join clubs that they are interested in or just to school and students get to know other leaders who keeps us students on campus on our toes. and off campus.

Into the Streets is a national outreach, recruitment and education program created to increase the quality and quantity of college students involved in community service and community problemsolving. This year's issues included: Mental Health, Senior Citizens, Literacy, Children and Youth, and the Environment. Students volunteered from aweek long agenda of activities ranging from raking leaves with children at Kirby Park to picking up litter off the streets of WilkesBarre or playing games with senior citizens to teaching computer literacy skills to the • public. The service to solve problems in the community was a huge success. Many students became aware of the little things they could do to make a significant ~ifference. As a result, everyone profited ....... a new generation went Into the Streets!!! Into the Streets IS a powerful tool for Change. Many students volunteered for the Reach Halloween Party ..

Wilkes University held three blood drives in the 1995-1996 academic year. The first one was in early October. The first blood drive had 123 participants. This is over the goal of 120 participants. Amy Mazur, the Director of Volunteer Services, was pleased that Blood Drive '95 was a huge success. The blood drives were held in the Marts Center's Rumours lounge. It took place between 10 am and 4 pm, so everyone had an opportunity to donate. Giving blood is not a big chore, but as incentive there were prizes. Some of the prizes were cordless phones, gift certificates, and long distance phone cards. The other two blood drives were in 1996, one in February and one in May. All of them had refreshments such as soda, pizza, hoagies, and snacks. Giving blood to save someone's life can be more rewarding than you think.

Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith, located on the third floor of Conyngham, offers students many exciting opportunities to become involved and make a difference. The programs allow students to make more friends on campus and in the community. Amy Mazur, head of Volunteer Services, and Mary Hession, head of Campus Interfaith, have worked hard for the past three years raising enthusiasm on campus and have established a newsfetter, a homepage, and a volunteer hotline to show for their efforts . 30 One of their programs, called Talk it Out, meets once a week for dinner, conversation and planned service projects. Other volunteer programs involving the community include: SHARE (a program especially designed for elderly persons which gives participants $30.00 worth of food for $14.QO each month), R.E.A.C.H.

Wilkes was graced by a few big names in the 1995-1996 academic year. On October 31, Halloween night, Rusted Root played for 3000 fans in the Martz Center. The band, originally from Pittsburgh, had an altogether different sound than what is usually offered today in the music industry. The six member band played hits such as "XTC", "Rain" and "Lost in the Crowd." The fans, some in Halloween costumes and some in street clothes, listened, sang along and danced to the cutting edge music. Another upcoming artist who opened for Rusted Root was Joan Osborne. She performed probably her most memorable song of 1995, "One of Us." Everyone seemed very pleased by both performances. 38 �As big as Rusted Root and Joan Osborne are, Alanis Morissette tops both of them. Wilkes was lucky enough to have one of Billboard's Top Ten artists. She intensely performed songs such as "You Ought to Know" and "Wake Up" as the stage glowed with her presence and candles. She sang in front of 2500 fans on December 5, 1995. She only paused briefly during her hour and a half long performance. Still the audience wanted more. they encouraged her to come back on stage for two more encores. During one of these she did a cover of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees." Wilkes was "Head Over Feet" for Alanis and was just as happy to have Rusted Root here. 39 �1 Blizzard of Bucks! $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ Above Left: What is she trying to do?? Above Right: Aww!

When the "Blizzard of Bucks" game show came to the Wilkes University campus in the spring of 1996, many students came out to see if they would have their chance to get in the money blizzard machine. Everyone there tried their best to get as much cash as they could, but how easy was it really? Making yourself a public spectacle of ridicule and grabbing at the dollars in a blizzard machine may not have been as easy as it looked.

Of all the bachnalian events in the Wilkes Calendar, one reins supreme. That event is Winter Weekened, two days and three nights dedicated to madness, mayhem, and a generous helping of fermented beverages. This year, during the weekend of Feburary 1618, Wilkes let its hair down and let it all hang out. The weekend became a whilrwind of partying and merriment comparable in scale to the the wild Dionyscian passions of old. Friday night kicked off a large scale brain cell safari that carried well on into not only Saturday morning, but Saturday night and Sunday as well. The Lord of Misrule was at home at Wilkes that weekend and Brother Bluto smiled down from the heavens onto the campus and in a way, all was right with the world. 42 �:rends ... he bachnalian ~ Wilkes 1e reins hat event is ~ened, two ~ee nights madness, d a generous rmented ar, during the ~eburary 16~t its hair down hang out.

But some students decide to give of themselves instead. That's exactly what happened during the fall break trip to a halfway house in Maryland. At St. Martin's Home for Women and Children, seven students sorted and packed food in the center's food bank, hung clothing for the clothing bank and babysat for homeless women at the shelter. This year's spring break trip traveled to South Dakota's Rosebud Indian Reservation. Eight students repaired houses by painting and doing carpenter work while learning about the Sioux Indian culture through first hand 00 experience. As an end result, the students participating in the trips discovered the importance of teamwork in the midst of diversity. Dan Smith and Todd Vinovrski spent their spring break repairing houses in South Dakota. Andrea Sheasley and Tannele Yenkevick learned the meaning of teamwork by the end of the week. The spring break group posed for a picture with members of the Rosebud Indian Reservation. 47 �myof 30t theDarte Dis guy, he no se, 48 �I have no idea what I am doing.

Shelburne Television Center Dedication After two years of planning and an investment of nearly $750,000 representing the first phase of construction, the Thomas P. Shelburne Television Center marked its grand opening in April, 1996. This facility serves not only as a powerful statement of Wilkes University's commitment to the future of its students and the importance of the electronic media, but as a living memorial to one of northeast Pennsylvania's most beloved and innovative broadcast pioneers. Mr. Shelburne began shaping a vision for the electronic media in the Wyoming Valley in 1946 when he began as a partner at WILK radio and television. Eventually, a later merger created WNEP-TV, the local ABC affiliate and market leader of this area. Known for his commitment to award-winning regional productions and community service, Tom Shelburne represents the very best in broadcasting and serves as an appropriate model for all incoming and prospective broadcasting students. The 5,500 square foot facility contains: two production studios, two modern control rooms, three seperate editing suites, a master "head end", four field cameras, and an adjacent long distance learning and teleconferencing center. The facility is not only innovative and exciting but so is the atmosphere inside the Department of Communications. Currently, 160 students are majoring in four concentrations: radio/television production, organizational communications, journalisim, and rhetoric/public communication; all comprising the fourth largest area of study on campus today. Additionally, weekly productions such as "Wilkes Today", "WOW!" and "Colonels Corner'' involve a significant number of students, both major and non-major at the center. -Story courtesy of the Shelburne Television Center 56 �LEFT: President Breiseth addresses the audience, paying tribute to Shelburne.

Snodgrass. Snodgrass, a Pulitzer Prize winner, not only presented his works in an oral presentation to the general public, but met before hand at an informal tea with students and instructors to discuss poetry and writing in general. A man whose works influenced such poets as Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Robert Lowell, Snodgrass stunned and amazed the crowd with readings from his past works and his controversial newer work, "The Fuehrer Bunker". �'I, Wilkes ts graced by of the na.imed poet, :lSS.

Some of us were enjoying the warmer temperatures of our southern homes, but most of us were not fortunate enough to escape the Blizzard of 1996. There were over forty counties under a snow emergency which means that unless it is an emergency, do not drive. Therefore, the malls, grocery stores and entertainment centers were closed unless their employees could walk to work. Not to mention it was cold outside--about 15 degrees below zero. The wind gusts were up to 45 miles per hour at times. These were no conditions to go out and take a sleigh ride. Scraping off cars, salting pavements and shoveling heavy snow off of roofs were the main activities of the days in early January. Just days after the area started to recover, and we got back to school, Mother Nature stepped in again. Does everyone remember what they were doing the night of the evacuation? Probably so. After the Blizzard of 1996 came heavy rains and a January thaw that drenched and inundated the Wilkes campus and the surrounding Wyoming Valley. This was a perfect combination to make the Susquehanna River rise. The river was almost at full capacity. This made people wonder if the 37 foot levee could hold the powerful water. Wilkes-Barre took precautions and evacuated the areas surrounding the river, including Wilkes students. The students that could go home, did, while the 150 remaining students were transported by bus to College Misericordia. These students got buses at the Martz Center and traveled to Dallas for a one night stay. Wilkes was busy removing computer lab equipment and valuable art work from the basements and first floors of COB and the Stark Learning Center. All of the commotion started at about midnight. Even at this time of night, Wilkes got the news out through Residence Life Assistants, Security, and area media. By three in the morning, the bused students were in the gym of Misericordia. Residence Life thought that the procedure went very smoothly. The students from Wilkes were pleased with the neighboring college and the hospitable treatment. College Misericordia provided the students with free snacks, a television, games and basketballs. There was relief in sight when the Susquehanna River near the campus was not going to flood and it started to recede. By Sunday, practically everything was back to normal, so there was no reason for students not to get back in gear by going to classes bright and early on Monday morning. 63 �MULTICULTURAL STUDENT COALITION aru 64 �TION UnitedatWdkes, andUJiththe P\tTURE PHDro 1300TH 65 �I The 2nd annual Block Party was held on the Greenway between COB and Stark this year. The turnout was unbelievable. There were more games this year compared to last year. Some of the Block Party attractions are Aerobatron, Biosphere Bowling, Dunk Tank, High Striker, Sumo Wrestling, Battle of the Bands, Beer Tent, Food Vendors and many more. The Off Campus Council (OCC) sponsored this event with the support of Student Government, Inter-Residence Hall Council, Programming Board, and the Alumni Association. 66 ��Guest Lectures In September and October of 1995, Wilkes University was happy to welcome guest speakers Katie Kostner and Marcia Wallace, respectively. Miss Kostner spoke about the dangers of date rape and how to avoid it by sharing her own heart-wrenching story of when she was raped at William and Mary in Virginia. Ms. Wallace, of the television show "Webster," shared her story of her battle with breast cancer to inspire and inform others about this type of cancer. 68 �Left Page: Miss Katie Kostner This Page: Ms. Marcia Wallace 69 �Food Fest 1996!! Once again this year, the students were ever so happy to try out all the new kinds of food that could be found at Mardi Gras in Pickering Cafeteria. What kind of food was there? Everything from heavenly cheesecake to gourmet coffee to chicken fingers and pasta. Everyone went there hungry and went away more than stuffed. �Photos clockwise from left: --"Hmmmm.

For example, durtng the month of October, 1994, Wilkes apartment students and dorm students were targeted for robberies. After several break-ins, I helped establish a student crtme watch. Over 75 students attended an Informational lecture on how to make the crime watch successful. I also made It aware to the chief of Security that It was Important to Include apartment students In the escort service. He worked with myself and CJ Copley to Include apartment students In the program. Wlth our help, the admln1stratlon of Wilkes allocated funds to purchase the security car.· Karen Bednarczyk "Whether you are considered a leader or a follower, I believe that everyone has the ability to make an Impact on the lives of other people.

There should be a support group for college dorm students who return home for the first time and their slogan should be: ''I' m not a slob, I'm a dorm student. " When my mother dropped me off at my dormitory for the first time she said to me, "study hard , learn to be independent and take care of yourself." Then she looked around at that tiny four by four cubicle that I would call home for the next eight months, sighed and said," You ' re gonna miss me . "College is different," she warned, " it's a completely different world. " Then she kissed me goodbye and called me everyday for the next eight weeks. While I was there, I considered my mother' s advice. She was more that right when she said college was a different world, in fact what it was a different culture. I spent my entire freshman year learning the rules and regulation s that were all-essential for survival in a dorm room. When I returned home in May it was safe to say that my mother and I both suffered from culture shock. I had been home for nearly three minutes when my mother con idered sending me away to the furthest boarding school in America. I dropped my luggage on the kitchen floor, sighed deeply and boldly announced my presence. "Mom, I declared, 'Tm home ." My mother stepped into the kitchen to greet me and I thought she might kneel over right there in front of my eyes. Never in my entire life had I seen a human being turn green. "What, do you live in a barn?" she asked. "No, I live in a dorm" I answered. " And I'm home for the summer. Aren't your happy?" I think it was then when the culture shock hit her the hardest. She said eight words to me after that, in fact those were the only eight words she said anymore. She just sat in the kitchen rocking back and forth with her eyes fixed on what I had brought home and for hours just kept repeating over and over again: "My house, my beautiful clean house, what have you done?" Apparently she didn't agree with the "dormean" way of packing. In her culture folding and organization are essential, but in my culture everyone packs a though they are evacuating the city due to a natural disaster. As with any unfamiliar culture, my mother was simply ignorant toward my new ways. So for the next eight hours, occasionally checking her pulse , I carefully explained to her how I did, pack appropriately. "You see, ma, " I began, "In that box,"(I pointed to a disorganized crate in the corner) "are my toiletries two rolls of toilet paper, three packages of coffee filters , an old pair of sneakers, 14 samples of generic hotel shampoo and conditioner, four boxes of generic bandages and a pair of elbow pads. " As I pulled each item out, I explained their purpose. " In my culture, coffee filters are the next best thing to toilet paper and the sneakers are a great way to avoid any foot fungus that may develop while taking a shower. As for the elbow pads, our showers allow for very little movement. " I stretched my arms far into the air to prove my point. " You don't realize it Mom , but a roomy shower is considered quite a luxury among dorm students." Anyway, I bent my elbow back and twisted my left leg to expose my bruises. "These are shower wounds. The elbow pads make washing my hair and shaving my legs a lot less hazardous and the bandages, well they ' re self-explanatory." I pointed to another crate. "In that crate are my kitchen needs." I dumped it's contents on the floor. It contained any and every kind of packaged, frozen, or canned food ever chemically processed by man. Packages of Ramen noodles, cans of Cheese-Wiz, Pez dispensers, Spam and spray on butter spilled on to my mother' s kitchen floor. There were only two other things left in the crate after I dumped it out - an economy size gallon of Pepto-Bismol and an overstuffed folder with menus to every fast food take-out joint in the area. My mother's condition worsened. Next I emptied the crate with my laundry needs. "In this crate I have one bottle of liquid detergent , a dust buster , a roll of fabric softe ner, and a large piece of cardboard . Where I live washer and dryers are sometimes hard to get, so when my clothes are dirty I simply sniff them, run the dust bu ster over them, rub them down with a piece of fabric softener, and then press then on this piece of cardboard so that they are not too wrinkled. It's really very convenient," I explained. With each crate I emptied my mother developed a new symptom. By the time I was finished not only was she a deeper shade of green but she also developed an eye twitching, a strange rash that ran from her chin to her chest and a very unhealthy grunting noise that occurred every ten seconds or so. Cleaning up and reorganizing these crates was the most traumatizing for her. She grunted a few times and pointed toward the vacuum and [ assume that is what she wanted me to do. So I carefully explained to her how "my people" don ' t vacuum until either our shoes stick to the rug disabling us from any sort of movement or until the bugs crawl out from beneath the bed and introduce themselves to us. It took me seven hours to make her " beautiful clean house" beautiful again.

My mother and I had our differences that summer. I did things my way and she did things the "nght" way. By the middle of the summer I was ready to start my support group. I could just see us a bunch of college dorm students sitting in a big circle at one o'clock in the morning explaining to each other how are parents think we are slobs and can't wait for us to return to school. I would be at the head of the group and we would all be wearing our tee-shirts that say: "I'm not a slob, I'm a dorm student." We would greet new comers with a friendly supportive "Hello." Members would say things like: "Hello, my name is Ted - I'm a first year student and last night my mother criticized me because I used Windex to wash the dishes. Then he would break down and we would all share our stories. Right around three o'clock we would order pizza and make a community jug of ice tea form which we would all drink. But most of all we would have a common bond. We all went to college and learned to take care of ourselves and to be independent. It may not be our parents way but we learned to do it alone. Maybe someday we will be more "civilized" but until then, I proudly wear my tee-shirt that reads: I'm not a slob l'm a dorm student.

I took a different route this past summer. After final exams were over, I got ready to compete at the Miss New Jersey Scholarship Pageant (a Miss America Preliminary.) On May 26, I made my venture to Ocean City, New Jersey, "The Home of the Miss New Jersey Scholarship Pageant". I stayed in Ocean City for the week. While there, I was in the Miss New Jersey Parade representing the northern part of the state as, Miss Northern Lights. Throughout the week there were many vigorous rehearsals, interviews, and preliminary competitions. I won a preliminary award in the swimsuit competition. Then all the hard work paid off on June Lst, when I was called for Top Ten, and then Top Five! From that moment on I was in seventh heaven . After they called fourth runner up, third runner up, and second runner up, l found myself standing with only one other girl. Then the announcer said, "And the First Runner-up is Miss Hu ...", and when they began the name of her title I knew they weren ' t saying Northern Lights!!! I was crowned the new Miss New Jersey! At that moment I realized that this year I would not be watching the Miss America pageant, instead I was going to be in it. In becoming Miss New Jersey I won a lot of prizes including: The use of a 1996 Ford Taurus, and the use of a I 997 Ford Contuor (when the '97's came out), scholarship money, and jewelry. The rest of my summer was not spent in summer classes, or working, or even going to the shore with my friends. Instead my summer was used to prepare myself for my depa1ture to Miss America on August 28th. Throughout my summer, I made numerous appearances, participated in parades , was a guest for a local radio station, was flown down to Tennessee to get "headshots" photographed, and I even found a spare moment to come to Wilkes University to speak to the incoming freshman. It was definitely a summer to remember! [t was when I became Miss New Jersey, when I realized how much support I really had. After I returned from my crowning moment in Ocean City, my town proclaimed that June L6th through the 23rd was now "Melanie Bell Week". To kick off this week, they held an old fashioned parade in my honor in which I rode on a horse and buggy. At the end of the parade, they presented me with the key to my town of Vernon, and a number of resolutions from both my town, and my county. At the end of the week, my mayor held a reception, where the towns people donated money to me to defer the costs of my wardrobe. When you enter the town of Vernon now, you are welcomed by a sign that not only says, "Welcome to the Township of Vernon," but it also says, "The home of Melanie Bell, Miss New Jersey 19961997." One more thing happened that summer that l felt to be unbelievable. I was given a joint resolution from the Assembly and the Senate. To receive this reward I went to the State House, and I was able to speak to both houses, and was able to speak to New Jersey's Governor, Christine Todd Whitman. The time soon came when I found myself preparing to leave for Orlando, Florida where I would meet the rest of the contestants. While in Florida T was able to ride all the rides, eat all the food and not have to worry about the competition. We were only in Florida for three days, which was spent getting to know everyone, and relaxing. We soon left Florida on our track to Atlantic City in a chartered jet, only flying the contestants and their traveling companions. We had the whole plane to ourselves. From the moment we landed the minutes , hours , and days flew by. They were filled with lengthy rehearsals, interviews, and preliminary competitions. Although I was not amongst the top ten, I can not say I was angry with all that happened. I guess that was because I was treated like royalty for three weeks, I was able to say my name and school on national television , and met some of the best friends a girl could meet. In fact, [ am still in touch with many of them . You meet 49 other women with the same ideals, the same dream, it would be amazing if you left there without becoming friends with aJJ or most of the girls. On Sunday, September 15th I returned to Wilkes ready to dive into my studies as a normal college student. However, from that day on was nothing like normal college students life.

In this tour I visit a number of schools and speak to them on the topic of Children and Teens in the crisis of separation and loss, and our responsibility to these kids. With this tour I would miss many school days. But being a determined person , I stayed in school. I am the first Miss New Jersey to remain in school during her year of service. I believe it was one of the best choices I ever made. I was now able to have the best of both worlds: Miss New Jersey, and college life. My year is now coming to a close, I spoke to over twenty schools and universities throughout New Jersey, I have appeared as the spokesperson for the Passport to New Jersey program, and I have appeared as an honorary chairperson for the American Cancer Society, Twill soon find myself down in Ocean City again, but this time to let another girl fulfill her dream.

I think the most ludicrous excuse I ever came up with was during the Persian Gulf war. I was in eighth grade and I told the vice principle I was late for school because I was chased by a pack of crazed Arabian terrorists. That same year I also told my math teacher I was failing because the lobotomy I had as a child cost me the mathematical portion of my brain. By the time I reached high school my excuses became more elaborate. When anxiety overwhelmed me [ hyperventilated during the HSPT (High School Proficiency Test) I blamed it on chronic asthma triggered by the lead particles in the number two pencils everyone was forced to use . But when I refused to change for gym class claiming that my house was invaded by angry skunks and my clothes retained their putrid odor I knew God had given me a special gift. It was the gift of excuse giving and it was safe to say that this gift had gotten me through six years of elementary school, two years of junior high and four years of high school. I thought I was ready for college. The first week of school I strolled into my nine o'clock class ten minutes late. The professor stopped his lecture and said to me, "Let me guess - crazed Arabian terrorists?" It was then when I knew college wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. I might actually have to do something. I tried everything to avoid the exams and term papers that were assigned to all college students. I learned quickly that the ''I'm too sick to go to class today" bit didn't work in a fo ur year university. I dreaded going to class and still do. The lecture always seems to push me into a temporary coma. Before I took History I didn't think it was possible not to blink for an entire hour and fifteen minutes straight. I can actuall y feel myself slipping away as the professor speaks. First I lose feeling in all of my limbs, then my mouth drops, my eyes open wide and my eyebrows crinkle into a puzzled frown , sort of like the expression my grandmother makes when I try to explain compact discs . I usually hold my pen in my hands as though I'm taking copious notes and actually understand what he's sayi ng and why he would take the time to say it. A fell ow classmate once told me that the professor actually spoke to me while I was in one of these trances but all I did was grunt. Once I realized that there was no excuse for not doing my work I dedicated all of my time to postponing my work. In other words I became a hard core procrastinator. It was like an addiction I couldn't control and it started with those fo ur tiny words , "I'll do it later." I found millions of reasons why I couldn't do my work at that particular moment. I would actually rather sit on the bathroom floor and count the tile blocks than do my work. There are 62 to be exact. One time I spread a think layer of Elmer's glue over both my hands until I managed to peel off the perfect set of latex gloves. Until one day it finally caught up to me. I had managed to put off studying for my history test until 2:00 am the night before and had an entire box of latex gloves to show for it. It wasn ' t until I got my test back when I realized [ was failing miserably. I had managed to get a 43 .5% not even half the answers correct on my test. I couldn' t believe it. I tried reasoning with my professor and even lied and said that l suffered from "sporadic amnesia". A condition I obtained from a childhood head trauma. He just nodded and said "that's too bad." Ashamed of my failure I left my dorm room, doomed to a life of cardboard boxes and cat food. I found myself walking aimlessly through the city searching for the most comfortable bench to sleep on for the next fifty years of my life. I strolled into a local connivance store and purchased a pack of cigarettes thinking I would turn to a life of drugs. As I walked the streets I saw businessmen in business suits and wondered how many 43.5%'s they had gotten in their lives. I saw a bitter old man with a can in his hand and wondered what his excuse might be. I had lost all hope and worst of all I was out of excuses. I needed to talk to someone who could answer all of my questions and tell me everything would be O .K. Then somewhere between that connivance store and my dorm room I met Sally. A lonely old women sitting on a bench with a shopping cart filled with her belongings and a paper bag from which she would swig. l sat next to her and had a smoke. She introduced herself and offered me some unhealthy meat that she was eating out of a round flat can labeled "Frisky Whiskers" "No thanks," I said "It's not my fault ya know," she began.

It's not even my fault I drink." "Well then whose fault is it?" I asked. Then in a low monotone voice she said, "Psychotic alien tribes." "Excuse me?" She bounced up and screamed, "Psychotic alien tribes chased me to work everyday and made me late!!! My boss didn't believe me and fired me!!!" She calmed herself and sat back down. At that moment it hit me - Sally reminded me of someone. Someone I didn't like. I glanced at my watch, it was still early but I was wasting time.

In an effort to initiate incoming Freshman into the world of extracurricular activity on campus clubs enticed non-members towards their own particular booths with candy, jugglers, pendulums of doom and other assorted oddities. There students learned a little bit about all the clubs on campus, i.e. what they do, how one joins, and what being a member entails. Set on the sidewalk in front of Kirby and Chase Halls, students thronged to the stands on the cool September afternoon and learned a bit about all the interesting activities on campus. �IF&IfilJE ~ 1r ~ 0 ••••••• reshman into :ampus clubs 1 particular of doom and learned a little Lat they do, how 1ils.

Well, Parent's weekend fixes all that. Now, instead of destroying your parents' faith in you when they see your room, you now have a set date to have everything cleaned by. Now you can not only clean the room, but you can impress your parents at the same time. Parents Weekend allows parents to get involved in their children's lives. For two days parents can meet friends they've only heard about, see where classes are held, and maybe even meet a prof or two. Parents Weekend allows students to let their parents in on their lives at school as well as doing the reverse for the parents. Parents Weekend allows parents to see college life as it really is .... well, sorta ... just don't look under the beds ... �Wilkes U. Air Hockey: Team ChamJ>s ! ! ! !

Three feast days were set aside to honor the Gods of Anheuser-Busch and much feasting was had. The people did feast upon barleys and hops and did drink many a liquid lunch ... . And breakfast ... . and dinnner ... . and afternoon snack .... And the Gods did smile and the people did laugh and all seemed right with the world. But all was not!!! The Gods did demand that the mortals did perform for them and the mortals did say ,"Sounds good to us," and the Gods did say, "Okay," and the people did dance and sing and play WinterV mvoni~ volley ball and foolish while wallowing in the a beer, Cluck-U nouri~ hangover.The Gods die did say, "Boy, those gt plastered, "and the Goe the people did feast ar time and once again fc was right with the wor �:es University was mous reputation limensions.

Pickering Hall... Where the freshmen go ... But this year things were different: cable, working heat, phones in every room. Pickering Hall ceased to be the Hell hole of campus and became just another dorm ... Though there are still stories about those giant flesh eating cockroaches that dwell in the sub-basement... �.I : This year a new dorm opened its doors to Wilkes students. Fortinsky Hall a.k.a. The Fort, formerly faculty offices, has become home to two sets of students. Fortinsky 227 was opened to the male population of campus, and Fortinsky 225, the apartment style half, was opened up to both genders. The building, though needing a little fine tuning, was in tip top shape when students returned from Summer break. Fortinsky Hall has quickly become one of the most sought after residence halls by students returning to Wilkes and in most estimates will probably become an even more prized comodity as whole apartments graduate at the same time. Let the mad dash to register for the lottery begin! �The Year of the Ox Celebrated at Wilkes REDCRC HGIVIN As a university that has always celebrated multi-culturalism, Wilkes held an celebration of Chinese new year, welcoming in the year of the Ox. Not only did this allow students to gain a glimpse behind the intricate culture of some . students, but it also allowed students to have a good time. Blood.

Wilkes University, in its continual attempt to help enrich its surrounding community through volunteer service once again helped the Red Cross by hosting a blood drive on Campus. Students, in the spirit of giving, responded to call to help perserve life by donating a pint or two of blood to the Red Cross Blood banks. Well, that and the free OJ and cookies was probabaly a draw too. �Boot Camp for Land Lords You know wha· Kabuki isn't Kabuki , makeup. Well, I heard th say. "Get off my obstacle course! You don't derseve to be on my obstacle course!" Welcome to the pre season training for RA's those cruel tyrants we all know and love. If only it could be as grueling as we all wish it was. Not so. Everyone enjoyed themselves this year warming up for the season to come, dreading playing the Packers at home or being benched for being late to pracitice. Our beloved RA's enjoyed a few days of learning the ropes such as how to deal with that kid three doors down who brushes his teeth over the water fountain or that girl in 123 who spends six hours in the bathroom every morning. Still, everyone had a blast and took something away from the experienece. This year's annt held in Rumours, wa successful EVER!

Kabuki isn't Kabuki without the makeup. Well, I heard that's what they say. This year's annual Japan Night, held in Rumours, was of the most successful EVER! The basement of Marts was packed with a mass of humanity, some wearing traditional Japanese garb, other dressed more casually. The night was filled with ever taste of Japanese culture possible, real Japanese cuisine, dancing, and even toys for the children who attended the event. This year's Japan Night went off without a hitch and a good time was had by all. t.lt,3V KA I f �"Our Disclaim.er" Here at Amnicola we like to think we take our jobs seriously .....

This facelift had several unseen side affects, the least of which was a mud bog fit to house Swamp Thing. The large "Mud Way," as students soon took to calling it, also began to exude an pungent aroma similair to that of the Louisiana bayou sans the smell of cajun fried cat fish. The end product; however, was near in sight for as soon as the snow melted and the mud dried, the "Green Way" actually started to become green. Construction workers worked to restore the grass that had existed the year prior and did a suprisingly good job, the only catch, most students were not here to see it. In the year to come however, the "Green Way" restored to beauty will more than likely be useful for such events as Club Day and/ or the Blockparty. Though we did suffer through a year of mud, slime and the mellow stink of stagnant ex-snow, the "Green Way" is well on its way to being useful to all students in the years to come. �Back to School Means one thing t Facelift , aestetic beauty of soon will stretch van's parking lot. a mud bog fit to : to calling it, also Jayou sans the smell : for as soon as the to become green. he year prior and lere to see it.

This year's welcome back mixer was held in the belly of the Arnaud C. Marts Center in the Rumours Night Club and demonstrated one fact, there's nothing Wilkes students like more than to party. However, there was nay a keg or case in sight all the students had a fine time, chatting with old friends, making new aquantaces and whole heartedly goofing off after a summer of only halfheartedly goofing off. The Wilkes Welcome Back Mixer was, as it is every year, a rip roaring sucess. �Gambling. Sin. Two things that taste great together. Like numerous Native American reservations across the country Wilkes University did the unspeakable, it legalized gambling ... well, sort of .... This year Wilkes University sponsored another infamous Casino Night where the students could sip soda, relax and scream such mantras as "Yes, Boxcars!" "Blow on 'em for luck," "Come on, my watch for twenty in chips!" "@#$#&$# #$%@&!" and "Pay up the twenty plus intrest or we break your legs ... slowly.... " Actually things did not get so out of hand. The gambling was merely for prizes such as stereos, dorm refrigerators and other, minor Hell Raising at Wilkes prizes. Also no loan sharks were present and no one in the room looked like Joe Pesci. This allowed Wilkes students to enjoy a fun night of gambling and not loosing a red cent. Like years past, Wilkes' Casino Night was a gala event filled with laughter, music, and a whole lotta gambling; truly one of the highlights of the year on campus events. Who knows ... Maybe next year we'll get to play the ponies too. �;ambling. in. wo things that taste great '.ke numerous Native n reservations across the Wilkes University did the 1ble, it legalized ; ... well, sort of.. ..

Wilkes Mardi Gras has Populace Pri:m.ed to Burst Fat Tuesday ... The feast before the famine ... Two words ... "Lotsa food!" Wilkes, in an annual act of charity to its starving students, invited a number of catere to push their wares upon the ravenous masses of Wilkes students in order to give the cafeteria a better grip on what the students of Wilkes exactly want to eat. Food varied from stir fry to pizza to chicken on a stick. Flavored coffee floated through the throngs of humanity along side maccaroni and cheese and fried fish. Student "ooohed and ahhhhed" at the plethora of tasty food that was literallty pushed on them by vendors hungry to make the crowd happy and a few sizes bigger at the waist. Mardi Gras, an event all on campus students wait for each year, proves that if there' one thing students love, it's food, and lots of it. �lo, -,---''' n.ed to Burst .,otsa food!" vited a number of caterer n order to give the to eat.

That's what you would have seen if you had attended this years collegate battle of the bands. Public Square was shaken by the furious bass riffs and thundering drum beats of bands from Kings to Wilkes to Misercordia. Although, the Wilkes contingent, Bedford, put up a good fight they came up short. Funny, considering they have a seven-inch and cassette EP in the stores. �On Feburary 2f 1997, a chanting, pos waving mass of upse oncerned students marched on the Dorth Dickson Darte Cente protest the tuition hi~ oon to be instated by Board of Trustees.

STUDENTS FIGHT TUITION HIKE TO NO AVAIL �On Feburary 28, 1997, a chanting, poster waving mass of upset, concerned students marched on the Dorthy Dickson Darte Center to protest the tuition hike soon to be instated by the Board of Trustees. While the event was publicized by flyers around campus and word of mouth, only a good three dozen students turned out for the event, trying their best to convince the Board of Trustees not to raise tution by such an extreme amount. The event was covered by two out of three local TV newstations and one local radio station as well. This fact, along with the students' incessant .TS FIGHT .HIKE TO [L / t chanting and sign waving prompted the Board to allow the students in, not to address the Board on a whole, but to "talk" with individual memebers. This however did nothing to stop the Board from hiking tution by 14.45 percent. But on the bright side ... �Hey! We got a beer tent!!!! Woooohoooo! Wilkes' Annual Blockparty is a Success �Johoooo! :ess How often do you get to see full grown men dressed in large air filled sumo costumes slam into each other while a crowd of surly, half drunk college students hoot and jeer in the background while at the same time listening to one of many local bands fill the air with a cacophony of rhythm? Not often. At the Wilkes Second Annual Block Party, however, sights such as this are seen hour after hour as the party trudges on through the day, a behemoth of college students, rock n'roll, food vendors and even a beer tent. It's the closest thing you'll get to Carnival this north of Mexico. This year the block party was held at Ralston Field as opposed to the Green Way between Stark and COB due to the reconstruction of the Green Way. Though this did affect the turn out for the event, people still showed up in droves to eat drink and make merry. �Mulitcultural Awareness Week At Wilkes [J - --------------' This year Wilkes University, in its on going efforts to heighten the public's awareness of cultural diversity, sponsored a much attended, highly anticipated, week of multicultural awareness. The events held during this week demonstarted that men and women of all races, creeds, and colors could come together to become more sensitive to the beliefs and needs of other groups. These events, held every year, help not only Wilkes Students, but the community as well. �Week Wilkes is year Wilkes ty, in its on going efforts :en the public's ss of cultural diversity, '.d a much attended, 1ticipated, week of :ural awareness. ~ events held during this nonstarted that men ten of all races, creeds, :s could come together e more sensitive to the d needs of other nese events, held every ) not only Wilkes but the community as �Monster Mosh What masks? All Hallow' s Eve, a time for the ghosts and specters to ride with pale Hecate's crew cross the sky and a time for mere mortals to GET DOWN!!! Once again, Wilkes University students were always ready for a good time and poured into the Marts Center looking as macabre as fiends of the lower realms and as hungery for a party as a vampire is for fresh blood. Wilkes University, it could be said, hosted a party that woke the very dead. �Dinner with The Lords of Lords In a stroke of fate too a large for ~my mortal to fully comprehend, both the director and assistant director of Residence Life got married in the same year. That's right ladies, both Darren Hack and Doug Lane are both out of circulation for good. To commemorate this amazing spin on the wheel of fortune as well as thank both men for their service to Wilkes, a party was held to honor the duo and the brides, for when the stars align a party must ensue. �Trick 'r' Treat •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• You This year Wilkes University Volunteer Services once again sponsored a Halloween Party for local underprivelged children. Candy, as one could imagine, was abundant, as were children in the garb of ghosts, ghouls, witches, and dare I mention them .... Power Rangers. Games also abounded from bobbing for apples to musical chairs. �Bwah-ha-ha ''' ••• You Laugh, You Lose ..... Ever try not to laugh while someone in front of you cracks jokes that would make Al Gore actually act animated? Well, that was the scene at the Wilkes Sponsored Game Show, "You Laugh, You Lose". Students packed Rumors to try to win a few bucks or maybe even a door prize by trying not to burst into fits of belly aching, side splitting, booming laughter. As one can imagine, a good time was had by all, not only due to the fact that the host himself was outrageously funny, but watching one's fellow classmates turn red faced trying to contain their laughter was treat enough. �The Wilkes University Programming Board consistently displays a knack for drawing some of the biggest names in show biz, and they don't come much bigger than the piano man himself, Billy Joel. Now in the lecture circuit phase of his career, Joel regaled those in attendance with stories of his younger days, fielded questions from the audience, and, of course, played several songs from his impressive repetoire. Although some students may have hoped for a more traditional concert, few were disappointed by the end of the show. Perhaps it was put best by Sophomore, Keith Previc when he said, "Hey, this is Billy Joel were talking about! As long as he's not doing a mime act, it'll be one heck of a performance."

Most students, on their own for the first time in their lives, find it a bit hard to adjust at first but, as time passes and the faces and places around campus become more familiar, life becomes easier, and much more exciting. Parties, dances, sporting events, and special events like Winter Weekend and the Homecoming Dance all help make campus life a hot bed of activity, a veritable whirlwind of action. It's hard not to find something to do on a Friday night. There are free movies, concerts and plays at the Darte Center and parties lie just around the corner. Life is as fast paced as one wants to make it. �This year, the Wilkes campus grew by leaps and bounds. The connotation of the word "Pickering" was reworked. Fortinsky Hall threw its arms open wide to recieve its first live - in occupants in years, and a new phone system was installed making sure every dorm room had a phone line as well as the possibility for cable television if desired. �Campus life was far from dull. The tuition hike caused students to reevaluate what they expected from Wilkes and what they were receiving. The freshman class was the larg in years as was the portion of it residing on campus. New faces abounded. Every event on campus seemed to be filled by standing room only crowds. We at Amnicola hope you enjoy these glimpses of your friends, be they old or new, or even yourself.

We all started out at orientation not knowing what this year had in store for us, now most of us could fill the shoes of the orientation leaders who gave us our first glimpse of Wilkes University. We walked onto campus believing it was as big as the city, but we left knowing that it was more like a family.

That same week. we all got together to make candy for the traditional food tasting, "A Taste of Wilkes.•· Our class decided to make ••Buckeye candy" the night before, and some sat at the event to represent our class. Our candy was a success according to the empty pans that we took back home. Then in November some of us helped make Casino night a blast!

Michael Rosh, Alyse Baumann, Michael Beachem, Jill Fasciana I have spent the last four years being an active member of student government. It has not only taught me great deal about responsibility, time management and leadership - all right, well blah, blah, blah, l won't talk about all that good stuff that may seem trite and uninteresting. I will say this, my experience as president has taught me a great deal. I am not referring to all that time management stuff, but more about people and who we are here at Wilkes. Student government is responsible for all the terrific activities that many of you partake in, such as homecoming and the weekend of clean family fun - Winter Weekend. We also give money to clubs to take various trips such as conferences and museums. But that is not all that we do. Granted, student government isn't out to shake the world instead we like to stand up simply for what we believed we deserve and we try to make changes happen on campus. To put it all in perspective, having turkey melts at the cafe and SUB was just as important to some of you as keeping the bookstore on campus. Phone service was not up to par, so we contacted the appropriate people. Also many were initially unsatisfied with maintenance and we expressed our concerns to them. You needed library and computer hours extended which we acquired; and most of you were concerned over the significant tuition increase.

You rary and computer hours extended acquired; and most of you were over the significant tuition What I found to be so tble about the student body was the fact that many students chose to be professional in getting the facts straight about the tuition increase. You attended the forum student government provided with President Breiseth. Also, some of you decided to picket against the increase - a pure indication that you have learned what the university has taught you to do as individuals by standing up for your beliefs. I leave my position as president, not in a sad state of mind, but enthusiastically, knowing that we as student government members have made a difference in all aspects of university life this past year. This year proved that no task is too trivial for student government to help accomplish. People have different needs, some seemly more important than others. But as we realize, they really aren't When it came down to it, the concern over juice at dinner was just as important as parking permit applications and improving the mid-semester grade reports. We tried to accommodate every need great or small. Our theme for orientation this past summer was 'light the torch' - which was an exiting time - with the biggest class yet to enter Wilkes. Well, now I am passing the torch on to brighten future ahead. Wilkes is growing and expanding day by day which provides us with the wonderful opportunity for us to grow and change too.

The sports events that occurred throughout the year were packed with ecstatic students, faculty, friends, and family that screamed and roared for the Colonels to win. This excitement was not only generated by the crowd, but also by the spirited and energetic cheerleading squads. When the Colonels' seem to be in a tough spot and the fans begin to lose faith, the cheerleaders always seem to know how to get the crowd back into the game. We would like to thank these young men and women for giving up their time to support our school's teams in both victory and defeat. Both the fall and winter squads increased their numbers since last year, and hopefully next year they will receive even more help in cheering on our Wilkes Colonels' sports teams.

Since the 1970's, Wilkes has competed at the NCAA Division I level, but due to widening gaps between the two, Wilkes decided to make the change, now having all 13 varsity sports under the same banner.

The FBI officers assigned to Reno came to survey the area the day before the event in order to set their parameters. These parameters including choosing the route she would take to get to the stage, clearing people out of the way, and keeping offensive people away from her. A meeting was held with Reno the day before commencement to discuss these parameters and designate which officer would be responsible for which tasks. These jobs were divided among seventeen officers-six FBI men, four policemen, and seven Wilkes security personnel. Jerry Cookus, chief of Wilkes security, said that, "it was a cooperative effort that required planning the day before, but everything went very well and according to plan." 01l7\1>1J7\l1S Above: Janet Reno speaks to the graduates during the commencement ceremony. 19 ��1999 Wilkes Senior Week Festivities For Graduating Students The Senior Week festivities at Wilkes University are a time for all graduating seniors to gather one final time before graduation day.

Protheroe Sipping on a Forty and Wishing for Something Better Otis Redding serenades me before a secondfloor window above the dark street. Sipping on aforty and wishing for something better. I've been wearing sunglasses at night. You should've seen my baby's face, her eyes would knock you out. I am having a hard time determining what I want. Jobs are insignificant, and work is for suckers. I met a woman and she's so purdy. She likes to dance and so do I. The way my grandparents dance. She thinks I'm quiet and brings it up. I play coy, and just nod my head. Sometimes I like to imagine what It would be like to take her to one of those early Appalachian dances. The ones that were held around the harvest. I'd imagine that the temperature would be nice enough that we wouldn't sweat, as we gallivant around the gazebo. We would feel the heat coming from the fire on our face if we got too close. I would definitely be smelling pies made from the fall crops. And the whole town would be watching us because we are the youngest couple. That would be great. But, now my forty is empty, and the truth at the bottom is... I am just a poor man, and the son of an Appalachian monster. I am not built for this kind of beauty. She could surely do better than this. J. Kauwell 74 �K.

I want to know where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing. I've often heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but thase pictures that I have of you are worth a thousand questions. You look about five years old, in your holster and guns. Who are you pretending to be? Buffalo Bill Cody? I can imagine, although I will never really know, that this was a most memorable Christmas for you. The tree is shining and its brightness is reflected in your face as you smile mischievously, gun in hand. Now you are older, probably in eighth grade. It's funny how eighth-graders look so much older nowadays. You, though, had a very young face. And even though your lips are not parted in a smile, I can tell that you are waijing for the photographer to signal that you are done, so that you c0uld break out into your laughter. You always looked so serious, yet those that know you, know that you were almost always smiling on the inside. Who ironed your shirt, I wonder. It looks so crisp and clean, definitely not an indicator of the poor circumstances in which you grew up. Nor do you look deprived as Buffalo Bill Cody, smiling broadly beside the shimmering Christmas tree. Did you like to pretend a lot? Did you play make-believe in your holster set? I can hear you say, "Aw, c'moli Bill," when your older brother wouldn't indulge your Buffalo Bill fantasy. He never had fun like you because he was too serious. He could laugh out loud, but not like you did. . . You, you laughed inside and out, and your laughter spread hke seeds caught 1n a wind. Now you are grown. You have graduated. Did they tell you at your graduation that you are called to be a leader, and you must help mankind in his quest for the greater good? Did they tell you that you are the key to the future? Did you believe them? You should have, because you were the key to my future. You are the key to my future. I could say that these black and white photographs bring back memories, but they don't. I know nothing of them, as they are your memories and you are not here to explain them. I could tell you the truth, and that would be that these old phot09raphs upset me, despite the happiness I see in them. I could also say that looking at these pictures makes me angry, and that would be true too. I am angry because I cannot ask you to explain them because you are gone. There will be no more photographs. They are all I have, and yet, they are really nothing. K. 0chreiter Impromptu Things I hear this as I step cautiously into the men's room near the food court of the local mall: "Man! This ... is ... the BEST day of .. .my LIFE!" Admittedly I'm pleased-that whiny and throaty statement was definitely the funniest thing I've ever heard come out of a stall in a men's room. Well, farts were real funny when I was younger, but this is different. I guessed the kid to be around five. "First we go ...to ...JOEY'S, and THEN ... wecometotheMALL ... and, and, and there's a MERRY-GO-ROUND! This's the best day of my life. I really think." Now I'm really happy, I'm dumbfounded! This voice was the epitome of happiness, of simplicity, of joy. When was the last time I saw anything so clearly, or so innocently, what a gift! I could not wait to meet this little guy. It made me glow to just think about Joey's, a merrygo-round, and the best day of my life. Why cc3:n't it stay so simple? I had to see this kid! "And , and I didn't know about any of it! I, I, didn't know. I didn't know where we going, and .. .and this is, I LOVE this." I was in awe; what a show! As the door opens, I turn and see my little friend, the boy who made my day by basking in his innocent and ignorant gloiy. He had on a_ bright red button-down sweater with a w~1te collared s~,rt underneath that made him stand out against the pale tile of the restroom. I was not disappointed. He looked up at me smiling, one tooth short of a row on both top an? bottom and went for the sink. He was awesome. His ' huge brown eyes were opened wide as if still surprised, and his freckled cheeks jiggled back and forth as he spread the soap between his hands. He was perfection. He was fat, and that made it even better. He dried his hands and met his father. "Dad," he said, as he looked three feet straight up, "I didn't even know." I was so pleased with the timing of my bladder. I looked at the father, expecting to get a smile back, an acknowledgement of how damn cute and innocent his fat son is, how great it is that he is so happy, and that it took so little. Just a small recognition of my inspiration! No such luck. "l know son," began his father. "Impromptu things usually are quite fun." The boy's smile faded slightly. His head suddenly leapt off the scruff of his upper back, to its thinking position, which was not unlike that of a confused puppy trying to figure out his master's command. His head cocked back into place. "Huh?" "You know son, impromptu. Spur-of-the-moment, all-ofa-sudden. Com'mon, let's go." M. Schreiber .- 77 �Untitled A Crooked Hall I feel grossly inadequate, Like a wooden rowboat in a sea of gilded galleons.

Kauwell 79 �The Dignified Man He was like that ever since he could remember. Even in grade school he carried himself with an air of sophistication. Sure the other kids didn't like him very much, but he didn't value their opinions about anything so it didn't matter. There was the time whe he was dared to eat paste, and almost considerd it to earn the respect of his peers. But he didn't and the teacher had been watching him and congratulated him on being a very grown up boy for the first grade. Compliments from teachers, dignity was always good for that. Dignity was all he ever wanted. He could dress more carefully than anyone else in his school. Jeans and a T-shirt didn't cut it for him. He needed effort. Shirts that you had to button proved that he took his time getting dressed in the morning. The more buttons, the better. Ties added more effort to the process. A nice tie (under a button down collar of course) and he was ready to face the world. He spoke with proper grammar at all times: may I go to the lavatory, to whom did you wish to speak. Hell, he never even cursed. He didn't like the music his peers did, effort again; Mozart put effort into his music, three guys with guitars and a drummer wouldn't know the definition of effort. He didn't act the way his peers did, mainly because it consisted of listening to effortless music and getting drunk; apparently the high school equivalent of eating paste. So consequently, he was not very popular with those peers. But he didn't need them. Why go to a party to listen to noise surrounded by people he considered undignified when they were sober let alone trashed off their asses? There was a short time when he did consider going to his senior prom. The thought of all those tuxedos and prom dresses made him almost forget whom he was really thinking about. In the end though, he decided it didn't matter how nice they were dressed; they would never act dignifed enough to suit him. The music would be wrong, and the whole point of prom night was afterwards you'd get drunk, eat paste, smoke something, get laid, anything but act the way intelligent human beings were supposed to act. So dignity didn't win him many friends, but it didn't make him any enemies either, and it had gotten him his job, and then his promotion. Yes, dignity had done it all. He loved his job. They were so impressed at the interview that they hired him immediately. He was the youngest employee ever to be promoted to management. Now almost everyone who worked there had to call him sir, and he thought (correctly) that he made more money than all of his classmates combined. 80 Which is why h and could no lo dignified in the Twenties had a · dignity didn't le, as he feared he , he was walking and his big, fat c who had appare1 decided that neit (his legs now qu could think was, suited him well a dignifed corpse t �grade school he ls didn't like him very in't matter.

Not when he was old and could no longer take care of himself, as he had seen happen to so many who were dignified in the past. The past was where he wished he lived. A good suit from the Twenties had a vest to button, a jacket to button, and even a hat to straighten. But no, dignity didn't leave him when he was forced to buy a meager meal with food stamps, as he feared he would before he got his job. No, instead his old friend left him while he was walking to the bank in his favorite suit with his best power tie around his neck and his big, fat dignified check in hand. That is when he met some drunken, fat slob who had apparently long ago decided that dignity didn't mean anything and recently decided that neither did red lights. And as the dignifed man laid there on the street (his legs now quite an undignified mass of bone, blood, urine, and Italian silk) all he could think was, "this will not do, this will not do at all."

Old friends that comfort me when I am at my lowest point. If I welcome them forever, will I finally be rid of you? by deidre blake. by dora lam. K. Protheroe 89 �I A Refuge for Geor!

This box-held in geometric perfection by nailsnow knows the scent of a broken structure, a breath after death, as muffled complaints issued from the bowels of its only friend. And the earth that fills the gap between the living and the stillness of the un-still speaks as it's awakened by my falling tears. And he complains of his toiling, the pressure under which he folds, simply to thread more room for this noisy, wooden box, which holds my crying friend in its angular, wooden belly. Now that hungry stomach-that catalyst of his decay stands as a home for my boy's bones which carries his moans as they roam the four corners of his tiny wooden box. "Yes-and my friends, to show my worth, decorated my box with Southern Comfort, packed bowls a' plenty, and all sorts of other treasures I held from my death back to my birth." And as I kneel to the ground, crumbling in hurt, I realize that all it amounts to- all this man's worth lies cradled in wooden arms, decaying in dirt. R. Wales nichael loverdi. K.

We - - - - - are thrilled that the book is finally finished, but also disappointed in the events that led to this publication. We have learned the hard way that it takes more than just 2 people to pull a yearbook together. We feel that we did the best with what we had to work with. rl Witkowski We would like to thank our advisor, Jim Harrington _ _ _ _ for all of his help and understanding. He had faith in us when nobody else did. To the faculty and staff not represented, we apologize, we used the photos we had to work with. To our fellow classmates, we wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors. We hope you have enjoyed your days at Wilkes as much as we have. To future yearbook staff members, GOOD LUCK. Remember, it takes more than two people to pull a book together (without going crazy that is).

Above: The Burns Alumni Tower is a familiar site to those walking across campus. Amnicola Volume 54 Copyright 2002 The Wilkes University Yearbook �hen you decided in high school that college was the right choice, did you ever imagine it would be like what it is today? We see in the movies the sororities, the constant frat parties, the completely disorganized and chaotic life of a college student. If this was really true, colleges would have died out a long time ago. By no means is college life a walk in the park. Attendance, quizzes, tests, final exams, labs, papers, research... and those are just for the fifteen credits you take on each semester. Add on the extra curricular activities you get yourself into: writing for the Beacon, hopping on air with your very own radio show on WCLH, joining the Psych Club, the Pharmacy Club, or any club related to your major, going into politics with the student government, or perhaps forming an underground organization to fight for some student rights. Then there are sports. Football in the fall, baseball and softball in the spring. Training year round, making it to practices, revving up for the big game. And if that wasn't enough, then we have to worry about paying for this whole experience. Some of us are lucky enough to get a scholarship or a grant to make up some of the difference, but even so, that only provides for room, board, and class. So we go out and find a part-time job, either to help pay for our education , or just so we have some cash on the weekends to pay the cover charge at the clubs. Class, work, activities, and your personal life all get crammed into a few years where you are studying to become whatever it is you wish to accomplish. Sometimes it seems like an endless maze that you just won't make it through, and other times you twiddle your thumbs looking and hoping for something to do. Sleep for a few hours, never getting enough, going to class, spending an evening at work, practice or on occasion out with some friends, and studying into the night, and then crashing for those few precious moments, before repeating the whole process again. fWilkes was leading to a be in comin1 - we make f attend partic and lose, a about to embark into the real wo Our first taste of Wilkes is F1 days you spend in the summer that it isn't a total shock when ye Exploring campus, registering ) and starting to make new frien with down the road .

If this was really ~e, quizzes, tests, final exams, its you take on each semester. f Wilkes was only about classes and majors leading to a degree, what point would there be in coming here? Wilkes is so much more - we make friendships with our classmates, attend parties, watch our sport teams win and lose, and find ourselves as we are about to embark into the real world. Our first taste of Wilkes is Freshman Orientation, those few days you spend in the summer learning about the campus so that it isn't a total shock when you arrive for your first semester. Exploring campus, registering your first 15 (or more) credits, and starting to make new friends you will hopefully graduate with down the road. And of course we can all remember our first day of class, a lowly freshman in a world unlike any other. But all of that soon changes when we realize we aren't alone, and not everybody is out to get us. Living on campus, the first battle you come upon is your new roommate, and of course the people you share your bathroom with. Some step up to make a schedule, only to realize in college life that even classes don't always run perfectly on schedule. Those first few weeks we suddenly realize the newness of it all has begun to wear off, and college life as we have come to know it sets in. . \ I ~~:-~ ."'~- · ~.... ~ _· Above: Rifkin Hall, acquired by Wilkes in 1989, completed the row of residence halls along River Street.

On Saturday, March 2, 2002 a group of 7 students and 2 staff advisors left Wilkes Barre for Alexandria, LA. The Alternative Spring Break crew members spent a week there working with Habitat for Humanity's College Challenge. They volunteered at two work sites. At the first site, they painted walls of a brand new, made from scratch home. While in Alexandria, they were hosted by the First United Methodist Church; Billie and Wayne Malone (members of the church) "adopted" the group, arranging dinner each night and making them feel welcome in the south. At the end of their work week, the crew drove to nearby New Orleans for a day of sight-seeing and fun. The 24-hour drive brought them home to Wilkes Barre Sunday, March 10th. 30 Clubs PLAYER GP 7 Ken Huntington 10 Russ Silcox 13 Ryan Maisano 17 Eric Wolfe 19 BJ Kosich 23 Nick Romanowski 27 Rob Hersker 29 Steve Hulme 30 Mike Burke 4 7 Nick Meadow 83 Nathan Cook 97 Dave Peer 15 15 9 3 15 3 15 8 15 15 10 15 PLAYER GP 30 Mike Burke 15 �er oc Building on their momentum from 1999-2000, Wilkes Roller Hockey made national waves last year with a run ending in Upland, California at the Collegiate Roller Hockey League National Championship Tournament, where Wilkes was ousted by eventual champion Eastern Michigan Cniversity in the Elite Eight, 5-2. The graduation of Chris Jarzyk and Jason Waterbury and loss of Eric Bonacci left some big shoes to fill, but Wilkes still retains most of their nucleus. The veteran talent of Captain Dave Peer and Rob Hersker around an incredible pool of underclass talent promised even greater accolades and accomplishments for the team in 2001-2002, as the Colonels looked to build on lheir #7 national ranking in Division II. Wilkes remained competitive throughout the 2001-2002 season, but unfortunately had a poor howing in the regional playoffs and ended its season in 6th place in their conference. They will look to rebound in the 2002-2003 season and regain their national ranking.

We see in movies the sororities, the constant frat parties, the completely disorganized and chaotic life of a college student. If this was really true, colleges would have died out a long time ago. By no means is college life a walk in the park. Attendance, quizzes, tests, final exams, labs, papers, etc. are iust for the fifteen credits you take on each semester. Add on the extracurricular activities you get yourself into: writing for the Beacon, hopping on the air with your very own Below: Weckesser Ha11 is always a breathtaking sight especially covered in radio show on WCLH,joining the Psych club, the Pharmacy snow. club, or any club related or unrelated to your major. Then there are sports. Football, field hockey, soccer, and women's volleyball in the fall, basketball and wrestling in the winter and baseball, softball and lacrosse in the spring. Training year round, making it to practices plus getting good grades keeps Wilkes athletes moving. And if that was not enough, then we have to worry about paying for this whole experience. Some of us are lucky to get a scholarship or a grant to make up some of the difference, but even so, that only provides for room, board and class. So we go out and find a part-time job, either to help pay for our education, or just so we have some extra cash for other activities. Class, work, activities, and our personal life all get crammed into a few years where you are studying to become whatever you wish to accomplish. Sometimes your work load seems like an endless pile and other times there is very little to do leaving time for a night of fun. College is a fun and rewarding experience filled with the repetitions of class, studying, getting very little sleep, and the weekends where you forget school Below Left: A view from River Street work and let loose. shows Evans Hal1 and other historic buildings.

Wilkes is so much more. We build friendships, attend parties, watch sporting events, and find the person we are as we embark into the real world. Our fir t taste of Wilkes is Freshman Orientation, those few days over the summer where we finally get to experience college life without the homework. We explored the campus, registered for our first semester of cla e , and started to make new friends who will hopefully graduate with us down the road. And of course we can all remember our first day of class, a freshman in a world unlike any other. But all of that soon changes when we realize we are not alone, and not everybody is out to get us. Living on campus is another new experience all in itself. You have to hare a room with a stranger who will hopefully become your best friend and a bathroom with a house full of other students. Tho e first few weeks are full of nervousness and excitement. There arc o many new activities to partake in and we all come to realize after a few weeks that Wilkes has become our second home.

Co~ Before Wilkes ffie development of an urban university, located only two blocks from the center of a medium-size city, presents unique problems not experienced by more traditional schools evolving on empty land in suburban or rural America. The key word in urban development is displacement. Acenter-city university must adapt its city environment to its own uses. lntitially, this usually means converting existing buildings for educational purposes. Eventually, it means replacement of former residential or commercial structures by newer buildings specifically designed for educational use. These next few pages are designed to show how this process has influenced the development of Wilkes University from its opening i11 1933 as Bucknell University Junior College over the intervening sixty years to the present. The area chosen for Wilkes was an accident of history. The university has established itself primarily along South River and South Franklin streets, the two major thoroughfares in the southwest quadrant of downtown Wilkes-Barre. The streets lie adjacent to the Susquehanna River, a location which normally would have developed as an industrial district. However, the evolution of Wilkes-Barre's waterfront followed a different pattern. Normally canals and railroads in interior towns followed the river as the path of least resistance and industrial growth followed the transport corridor. However, the North Branch Canal, which orginally provided access from Wilkes-Barre and ran some five blocks inland from the river as it passes the center city, returning to the river front about one and one-half blocks north of the public square. While the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, the first to enter Wilkes-Barre, built its terminus on the river froot, the station was soon abandoned and the ctiy's railroad corridor paralleled, then incorporated, the canal bed. As a result, the southwest quadrant became a region of homes rather than factories. The area along the river bank was occupied by the residences of the rich and powerful, including coal barons, bankers, and leading lawyers. The homes of lesser lawyers, doctors, prominent businessmen and those in upper managment positions were further inland. There was also a district occupied by lower economic groups. Below South Street the river turns away from South River Street. The wealthy followed the river, building their homes along a branch street known as West River. South River below this point had smaller homes occupied by common tradesmen. Wright Street, an alley between River and Franklin, had tiny houses, one eight-residence row structure, and several tenements, catering to a highly rmbile blue-collar population, few of whom owned the houses in which they lived. Among the most intriguing households in this district was the M:Cabe household at 11 Wright Street. All of the employed women of the family represented a significant proportion of the entire telephone operator staff of Wilkes-Barre in 1894. Similarly, the fate of the Lehigh & Susquehanna Depot shows how the Wilkes-Barre waterfront was diverted from the normal urban fate early in the city's history. Following removal of the station, William L and Charles M. Conyngham, brothers who made their fortunes in the mining and distribution of coal, built two of the largest mansions along the riverfront on the site. Today this land holds the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. By 1893, the southwest quadrant had developed into a unique urban setting. An area of predominantly large homes in a park setting along the Susquehanna River, the first portions of the area occupied by Bucknell University Junior College, provided an academic environment far more traditional than was normally true of urban universities. As Wilkes grew, the redevelopement of a decaying blue-collar area adjacent to the campus provided the opportunity for new construction to meet the college·s needs. BuifcCing a Junior CoCfege Bocknell University Junior College, the forerunner of Wilkes, was opened in downtown Wilkes-Barre in September 1933. BWC was inspired by a state-wide study, made two years earlier, which suggested a need for junior colleges in ten urban centersin the states which lacked such facilities. The report stated that "Wilkes-Barre offered the greatest need and the best opportunity of all the ten cities." The creation of BWC was largely the work of Frank G. Davis, chair of the Bucknell U~versity Department of Education, who proposed the institution to Bucknell President Homer Rainey in March, 1933 and pursued the idea until it was implemented during that su111T1er. There was little prior support in Wilkes-Barre. According to Davis, who had vistited Wilkes-Barre in early March, "The facts of the case are that no interested citizens, no school superintendents, and no civic clubs presented any needs whatsoever to me prior to my presentation to It Rainey." Rainey was attracted to the idea because Bucknell, in the depths of the depression and faced with enrollement decline, was able to provide eight surplus faculty to serve in Wilkes-Barre. The early operation was financed by Bucknell, no funds being received from local citizens. By the time that BWC acquired its own Board of Trustees in January 1938, the school had accumulated a total deficit of nearly $30,000. In 1941, Bucknell would cancel outstanding indebtedness of $5,500 during a fund raising drive, and an additional $8,352.86 when BWC began raising money in 1945 to establish a four-year school. Obviously, no funds were available for building construction in 1933, nor were they necessary with the availability of vacant urban office space and the existence of non-academic facilities which could be utilized for academic purposes. The first space used was the third floor of the Wilkes-Barre Business College, a three-story building located at 29-31 West Northampton Street, directly across from the V. M. C. A. The following year, the Business College vacated the building and the entire structure was taken over by BWC. Adninistrative offices and a 500-seat auditorium were located on the first floor, a small library on the second floor, and classrooms and laboratories on the second and third floors. There was no need for residence halls since the school's purpose was to serve local residents of Luzerne County, all of whom lived off-campus. However, there was a need for space and facilities for non-instructional activities. Some could be provided in the college building, such as a room set aside as a social center for female students. Adramatic society was organized in 1934 and rehearsed in the college basement, which was entered by a ramp. The facility was nothing if not cramped. When a full set was on the stage, it was necessary to go up three flights on the fire escape, through the biology laboratory and down to the basement again in order to make an entrance from the opposite side of the stage. The V. M. C. A. was used by the basketball team, which provided other athletic facilities for the College. Formal events were held in such locations as the Sterling Hotel and kem Temple, both within walking distance of the Junior College. The initial moves towards a more permanent home were made by Eugene Farley, who became BWC director in March 1936. Farley worked with prominent local leaders, including many who lived within two blocks of BWC in the great homes of the southwest quadrant. He enjoyed quick success and the College was given four of the houses between 1937 and 1941. The first was Conyngham Hall, deeded by Bertha Conyngham on February 1, 1937. 4 History of Wilkes This was followed on March 2 by Chase Hall, given by Frederick and Anna Weckesser gave the home at 76 V Conyngham Hall and the former garage and stabl1 bar, lounges for both men and women, and a bookstore.

Discreetly, the announcement was delayed so that both acquisitions could be publicized simultaneously. Frederick and Anna Weckesser gave the home at 76 West Northampton on October 4, 1938. The last was donated by IV'ir. and Mrs. Allen Kirby on July 1, 1941. Conyngham Hall and the former garage and stable building to the rear were converted for classroom purposes. Chase became the administration building and also housed a tiny snack bir, lounges for both men and women, and a bookstore.The library was moved to Conyngham. then to the second floor of Kirby where it slowly grew until it occupied the entire building. The Chase garage was taken over by the Thespians for the rehearsal of plays. The garage was a "dreary place" with a large turntable in the center for turning autos. The turntable was rerooved in 1938 and a stage built, allowing staging as well as rehearsals. Garages became as important to the college as the houses themselves. Providing larger spaces than rooms in the houses, the garages of the South River St. homes would be converted over the years into a cafeteria, a theater, and classrooms, providing critical services until Wilkes would begin building new facilities. In later years garages would serve as maintenance buildings, as some still do. Weckesser Hall was given to BWC as a residence for Or. and Mrs. Farley. It was used by the Farleys and for music classes until April 1943 when an Army Air Force pre-flight training program was established at the college. Then Weckesser became the headquarters and infirmary of the 6th Training Detachment l,4ir Crew), IBAAF. The recruits were housed at the Sterling ~tel. anticipating the use of external housing for dormitory students in later years, and The Farleys moved to the third floor of Kirby Hall. kl the fall of 1937, with its own buildings in service, BWC abandoned its rented home on Northampton Street; however, the building's career as an educational institution was not over. When King's College was established following World War II, it set up housekeeping in the same building until it could establish a campus along North River Street, mirroring the development of its (slightly) older rival. The Northampton Street building can truly be designated as the birthplace of Luzerne County colleges. By the end of its first decade, BWC had established itself in houses and garages on or near South River Street between Northampton and South streets. The local community had accepted the school and had begun to support its growth. Those of college age appreciated the benefits of a local college and, by 1940, students were beginning to agitate for the expansion of BWC into a full four-year institution. BUJC Becomes Wilkes The calls for a baccalaureate institution in Wilkes-Barre were muted by the wartime changes. However, the celebration of the 10th anniversary of BWC in November 1943 was marked by an announcement that the Board of Trustees would try to raise an endowment of $500,000 in order to establish a four-year college. It was believed that an additional $250,000 would be needed to purchase equipment and buildings for the expansion. The ell! of the war brought dramatic changes to BWC. The Board of Trustees formally moved to expand to a four-year program in June 1945 and efforts to raise an endowment were renewed. The departure of the pre-flight training program in 1944 allowed the conversion in October 1944 of Weckesser Hall into BWC's first dormitory, housing 16 female students. Because of rapid post-war growth in the student body, there was an immediate need for additional buildings along South River Street. The Long residence was acquired in late 1945 and was used as the Veteran's Guidance Center. This was the first property purchased and cost $15,000. The adjacent Payne home was purchased in the spring of 1946. The second and third floors became the first male dornitory, housing 20 men. Classrooms and offices were located on the first floor. The next home in the row was given to the College by Marion Ashley Ahlbocn in June 1946. l.krtil now, the College's facilities had been located along or adjacent to South River Street. The College now began to plan for the eventual occupation of the entire block and began expansion onto South Franklin Street. The Stoddart home and the vacant lot at Franklin and South, previously occupied by the First Baptist Church, were purchased in early 1946. The music oopartment was relocated to the Stoddart home and was named Gies Hall in 1948 after Paul "Pop"Gies, BWC's first music professor. The vacant lot would become the first of many efforts to provide off-street parking on the campus, always a major problem at urban institutions. The appearance of resident students and the rapid post-war growth of the student body brought new demands for food service. The first dining hall for dormitory students was set up in the focmer Veteran's Center in October 1946. The flood of commuter students placed impossible demands on the tiny lunch room in the rear of Chase Hall and the garages in the rear of the Stoddart home were rebuilt as a cafeteria seating 120. The garages of the newly-acquired River Street homes were converted to classrooms, primarily for use by the mathematics department. The College also used outside facilities for meetings, socials, and classes. The Y. M. C. A. continued to be used for indoor athletic facilities while outdoor sports were acconmodated by land leased at Artillery Park, adjacent to the present Ralston Field in Edwardsville. This was the property of the National Guard and was leased from the state. Classes and socials were conducted in the First Presbyterian Church House on South Franklin Street, along with weekly convocations that were held in the church sanctuary. Theatrical productions were given in hm Temple and various high school auditoriums, as well as the tiny 90-seat Chase Theater. Bucknell Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in June 194 7. The new College built its first new building behind the former Long home. This was a large lecture hall which was little more than a box with tiered seating, opened in October 1948. When Stark Hall was built in 1957, the lecture hall would be incorporated into the new building as Stark 116. There were few ij any students who did not spend much of their college career in this room from its opening until it was final~ removed to make way for the Stark Hall extension, opened in 1975. Amore complex and expensive construction project was undertaken when Wilkes built a gymnasium on a large vacant lot on South Franklin Street near Ross. The building was opened in Septermer 1950. As was the case with the lecture hall, the building was austere but it served until 1988 when it was removed and replaced by a larger, more elaborate structure. As the post-war student boom slowed, the need and financial capacity for further expansion diminished. No additional buildings were built prior to the end of the College's second oocade. However, five more homes were acquired. The College's presence on South Franklin Street was expanded by the purchase of Pickering Hall in 1949 and half of the double block which would come to be known as Sturdevant Hall in 1952. Gilbert M:Clintock, chair of the Wilkes Board of Trustees, gave two homes on South River north of Northampton Street in 1950 which became Sterling and M:Clintock halls and have served continuously as residence halls since that time. Since the library required additional space, the Morris home at 146 South River was purchased in 1949 as the new Farley home and the third floor of Kirby added to the library. Pickering and Sturdevant became office and classroom buildings, allowing Ashley Hall to be converted to a men's residence hall. By 1953, a combination of property gifts and available open land had allowed Wilkes to extend its influence both north and south of its original center. While its needs had been met largely by modification of older structures and with ninimal new construction during its first 20 years, this was soon to change. ,rominent local leaders, including :he houses between 1937 and History of Wilkes 5 �Building a Coffege The Evolution of Wilkes has been influenced strongly by external events. The depression of the 1930s was a major factor in its creation. World War II and the revolution in American higher education after the war contributed to its expansion to a four-year institution. The revolution was stimulated by the G. I. Bill, the first significant federal subsidy for college education. The subsidy expanded the student reservoir and led to rapid growth of old colleges and a proliferation of new ones. Although Wilkes-Barre had no colleges in 1933, it had acquired two four-year institutions by 1953. The expansion of Wilkes faltered as the G. I. Bill ran its course. However, during its third and fourth decades, the College would resume its growth, with the federal government again acting as a major source of support. Two important factors influenced the third decade. The conclusion of the Korean War lrought more veterans supported by the G. LBill. Following the launching of Sputnik in 1957, the government broadened its interests from veteran students to support of all higher education, particularly in science and engineering. The third decade was, therefore, a time in which the relations between Washington and the colleges was being redefined. With the addition of maturing baby boomers to the applicant pool in the 1960s, Wilkes' fourth decade coincided with the golden age of collegiate growth. These influences were reflected by renewed expansion of the campus. As enrollment began to increase, dining facilities became inadequate. The resident student dining facility had been moved from the Long building (renamed Barre Hall) to Sterling Hall in 1950. The old snack bar had been retained in Chase Hall to supplement the Commons, but Chase had its own space shortage. The problem was resolved in three stages. The Harding home was purchased in June 1954 and converted to a snack bar with four dining rooms on the first floor and a faculty dining room on the second. Smoking was prohibited except for a room on the second floor front. In 1955, the Commons was more than doubled in size by connecting the existing structure with the old Kirby garage by a new two-story middle section. Finally, in 1959, Gilbert M:Clintock's law office was willed to the College. The building to the rear of the office was converted to a snack bar to serve the north end of the campus. The College increasingly attracted resident students. Only one new residence hall, Warner Hall, was added between 1951 and 1956. It opened for male students in 1954. However, between 1956 and 1959, seven were added. Two more were opened in 1961 and an additional three in 1962. For details, see the list of residence halls at the left. More students meant greater demands on instructional facilities as well. The first new academic building, Stark Hall, opened in September 1957. It was built on the site of the ex-garage classrooms roughly in the center of the block. The main lecture hall was retained and incorporated into the new structure. kl its search for suitable facilities, Wilkes established a new instructional center at the far north end of the campus. In late 1958, the college purchased the five-story office building of the Glen Alden Corporation, together with the adjacent home of Glen Alden President Francis Case. The Glen Alden building became Parrish Hall, named in honor of a prominent leader of the local coal industry, and housed the business department and the comptroller's office. In November 1961, Wilkes gained national recognition on the NBC 11 Today" program as a successful new urban college. The College also had made a commitment to support technical graduate programs and facilities in order to bring R. C. A. Corporation to Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes had achieved recognition and growth, but its most explosive growth was yet to come. Tfie Golden Years At the beginning of Wilkes· fourth decade, further dramatic changes were already underway. The commitment to graduate technical education led to the construction of a new extension to Stark Hall, containing 91 rooms and about 38,000 square feet. The research center cost $1,000,000, raised through gifts and a $400,000 grant from the Area Redevelopment Authority. The building was opened in January 1964. On August 11, 1964, ground was broken for a Center for the Performing Arts. This was located on the lands originally owned by the Conyngham brothers and enjoyed a commanding view of the Susquehanna River. Long vacant, the lands were owned by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences and had been destined for the development of cultural facilities. Since only Wilkes had any prospect of raising sufficient money to build such a facility, the land had been given to the college. Finally, in October 1965, Wilkes acquired a performance center of its own. The center, made possible by the anonymous financial support of Dorothy Dickson Darte, was important to the maintenance of the educational balance of the college. By its construction, Wilkes reaffirmed its dedication to the arts and to a broadly-based education at the same time that it increased its commitment to the sciences. The arts complex was completed by a music building which opened in mid-1969. The beginning of Wilkes· fourth decade was also marked by expansion of the outdoor athletic facilities in Edwardsville, across the Susquehanna from the main campus. As already noted, Wilkes had leased Artillery Field from the Pennsylvania National Guard for use as a baseball field since the 1940s. In 1960 and 1963 the college purchased land between the Connecting Railroad and Kirby Park, and across Northampton Street from the baseball field, from Glen Alden Corporation. The old colliery site, together with the former mine buildings, provided Wilkes with a field house and locker rooms, a football field and stands, a soccer field and tennis courts. The new athletic facility was opened in the fall of 1965 and was named Ralston Field, in honor of George Ralston, Dean of Students and former Wilkes football coach. Improved facilities seemed to inspire improved teams. In the late 1960s Wilkes established a record 33 consecutive football victories over four seasons, securing national recognition and the Lambert Trophy. One of the expedients of Wilkes' growth and at the same time one of the institution's charms was the exclusive use of old homes as residence halls. Residents developed an almost clannish loyalty to the buildings in which they spent their college years. On occasion in the 1960s, students named dormitories with the tacit approval of the college administration. Such was the case with "Hainna" Hall, commemorating a pejorative colloquialism frequently heard in the Wyoming Valley in those days, and Bruch Hall, named for the faculty resident, and later redesignated as the second Ashley Hall. By 1964, housing demands exceeded supply and few additional mansions were available. The College leased housing for the surplus students on the third floor of the Carlyle Drama School at 224 South Franklin St. and in the Y. M. C. A. and the Sterling Hotel. It also constructed its first new dormitory. The dormitory was built on land acquired by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in the old blue-collar district along Wright Street. The street was closed and the dormitory and an attached dining hall were built in the center of the block. Construction began in April 1965 and the "New fvkln's Dorm," later named Pickering Hall, opened in September 1966. Initial plans called for four identical dornitories, with a dining hall for each pair. Fortunately, the plan was never completed. Pickering was a Y-shaped building accommodating 268 men and was claimed to be an improvement over the barracks-type dornitories built by other colleges during the post-war expansion. The added capacity provided only temporary relief. The Sterling Hotel and the Y. M. C. A. continued in use and the College resumed the policy of converting old houses, annual additions being made through 1971. Wilkes· library had outgrown Kirby Hall and a new facility was opened in November 1968. It was named the Eugene Shedden Farley Library to commemorate the College's first president. Similarly, administrative functions had outgrown Chase Hall. This problem was resolved by the gradual conversion of the second Weckesser Hall from a women's residence hall into the main adninistration building, a process completed in mid-196 7. Unfortunately, Wilkes' good luck was about to run out. The earliest sign of ill-fortune was the burning of Conyngham Hall, the College's first building, during the Christmas break in 1968. An inconvenience, the fire was followed by a disaster - the Hurricane Agnes Flood of June 1972.

A series of misfortunes beginning with Agnes created a different environment. By itself, Agnes could not threaten Wilkes' future, but Agnes was not alone. The end of the baby boom meant that the reservoir of applicants clamoring for adnission shrank. The reservoir was further diminished by the rapid growth of the Luzerne County Community College, founded in the late 1960s to provide a less expensive alternative for the first two years of college. Wilkes had been established forty years previous~ to provide the same service and its competition with Kings' College had been on a level playing field. Now for the first time it was directly competing with a government-subsidized institution. The economy provided additional difficulties. Flood and competition were followed by the energy crisis and declining federal support for higher education. As the decade progressed, inflationary pressures increased until prices rose at a rate greater than at any previous time in this century. The full extent of the crisis did not become evident immediately. Wilkes received $13 million in federal funds to pay for post-flood reconstruction. Plans to complete Stark Hall with a new ocadenic building fronting on South River Street had begun with demolition of five of the six buildings lying between Chase Hall and the Farley Home in mid-1971. The flood delayed co~letion but the Stark extension was finally opened in January 1975. In the interim, external space such as the Presbyterian Church House was once again used for classrooms. As the problems of the seventies deepened, Wilkes moved from a period of expansion to one of consolidation. Only four buildings were acquired between 1973 and 1983, two for demolition to open up the campus. The southern half of Waller Hall was secured for a residence hall in October 1983. The home at 130 South River St., the last private home in the block, was secured from the Conyngham estate in October 1975. It was opened in October 1979 as the Conyngham Student Center, replacing the old College Commons which was demolished three months later. The loss of some existing and potential residence halls to the flood and the need to reduce costs by consolidating housing facilities caused housing problems, resolved by the lease and renovation of the housing facilities in the Y. M. C. A., redesignated as the third Miner Hall and opened in September 1980. This allowed the College to abandon its long-term lease of facilities in the Sterling Hotel. In September 1982, William D. Evans Hall, a new co-ed residence hall, was opened at South River and Northampton streets. Changing social and demographic conditions led to a change in the character of the campus. While use of existing buildings had allowed Wilkes to develop with minimal facilities investment, this type of campus brought many liabilities to a maturing college. With more than 60 occupied buildings at the peak, not counting the remaining outbuildings, the College incurred increasing maintenance expenses. Rising utility costs affected old buildings which lacked adequate insulation, as well as Pickering Hall, which used electric heat, and new Stark, which had been built with sealed windows and some windowless rooms in the best -70s style. As Wilkes acquired more neighborhood houses, it increasingly secured less ornate buildings, in contrast to the earlier solid riverfront mansions. Many had been used as apartment houses with minimal maintenance prior to acquisition by the College. Some had faded with the declining fortunes of the anthracite aristocracy, the descendants of whom took flight to the suburbs. Buildings such as Kirby, Chase, Bedford, and the Annette Evans Alumni House, formerly the Farley residence, were renovated, but finances limited the extent to which this could be done. The problem of preservation was complicated by Agnes. Buildings of marginal condition and utility prior to the flood, particularly in the block below South Street, were financially and 11actically unsalvageable and were re100ved. The decayed out-buildings remaining in the main campus block suffered a similar fate, as did some of the less distinguished buildings along Franklin Street. Possibly the most regrettable loss was Harding Hall. However, pictures of the time show that Harding had deteriorated significantly prior to purchase. It received its coup de Jace from Agnes. The removals caused considerable controversy among area preservationists, controversy which continues today as the campus continues to evolve. However, the efforts which have been made and which continue to be made, such as the imminent renovation of Capin Hall and the plans for new buildings which will be architectually compatible with the historic character of the neighborhood, represent an attempt to preserve a sense of the past while creating a viable, functional neighborhood to contribute to Wilkes-Barre's present. The restructuring of the campus also led to a retreat on its northern frontier. As the College had grown, its direction had been governed as much by targets of opportunity as by a coherent long-range acquisition plan. By the 1970s, it was clear that the College should concentrate its development between Northampton and Ross streets. Housing in the Sterling Hotel on Market Street was discontinued in 1981. In 1983 the entire north end of the campus, including Chapman and Parrish halls and the Guidaoce Center, was sold. By that time, Parrish had outlived its usefulness. Alarge building, its construction resisted easy renovation and it contained much unusable space. It became the headquarters of the Guard Insurance lloup. From Collaje to University During the early part of the decade, campus changes continued along the pattern of the 1970s. Following the sale of Parrish Hall, the block between Northampton and South streets had become the undisputed center of the instructional campus. Two of the seven private homes remaining in this block were acquired and removed in 1984 and 1985. The Fenner home was donated with continuing right of occupancy by the owner. The first step towards providing a unique identity for the block came with the dedication of the Burns Bell Tower in October 1987. There was greater activity in the peripheral campus areas. The residence hall row on South River above Northampton was completed with the acquisition of Rifkin Hall in July 1989. Wilkes property now runs continuously along the Susquehanna River from Sterling Hall on the north to Doane Hall on the south. Two additional buildings were acquired on Franklin Street below South Street. These were the Max Roth Center (1984) and the apartment building which would become Fortinsky Hall (1987). Fortinsky became the home of the School of Business, Society and Public Policy and Roth became an administrative building. Together with Schiowitz Hall, which houses the Department of Nursing, these formed an enclave in a block otherwise given over to student housing and services. At the end of the decade the new llliversity began a new construction program concentrating on a more functional campus rather than on unplanned growth. The decision to establish a Pharmacy program required facilities changes which have evolved into the redesign of the campus. The plan provides for a new academic building on Franklin Street between Capin and Surdevant halls. A900-foot greenway running through the center of the block will become the symbolic center of the campus. The changes began with renewed purchases in 1992 and 1993. The Minrose, Lichtenstein, and Bell properties on Franklin Street were purchased. Minrose has been renovated as a new student services building, including the finance and registrar's offices. The Lichtenstein and Bell buildings will be removed. On the central campus, the home at 67 South Street was acquired in 1993 and, through the generosity of Allen P. Kirby, Jr., renovated as the Allen P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. Fifty-seven years after the acquisition of Conyng-ham and Chase halls, only two private buildings remain in the original block. The changes will challenge the ingenuity of the University. The River mansions above and below the main campus remain as a reminder of the anthracite era. The renovation of buildings such as the Kirby Center and Capin Hall, and the continued restoration of Kirby Hall, point to the continued effort of Wilkes to reconcile the inherent conflicts between history and function.

It allows the young people of today to become the responsible leaders of tomorrow. Circle K Clubs provide thousands of service hours each year in a variety of projects onlacal and worldwide levels.

The true purpose of Circle Kisto let college students give something to the community and show that there is more to school than studying. Leadership positions are a facet of Circle K. Members are encouraged to take responsibility for the club by working on committees and serve as members of the board at the club, or even District or International, levels. These positions give members a chance to learn more about their weaknesses and strengths and to develop skills that will serve them in the future. Circle K is for you to run it as you desire. You can make a difference as an individual member. By feeding the homeless, visiting the elderly, cleaning a park or raising money for a charity, you can make a difference that will change the world.

Graduation is a significant achievement and I hope you take time during the graduation festivities to reflect on how much you have accomplished. Celebrate and feel great about it! I ask you to take time to thank those who helped you during your years here at Wilkes. Like any major achievement, a college education cannot be attained without help. Your parents, siblings, extended family, friends and the faculty and staff here at Wilkes all helped in some way. Thank them and, as you move through life, seek to give them something in return. I also hope you know how much we appreciate what you have given to Wilkes University. As an institution, our mission is to create exceptional communities of students who learn together with their faculty. Without you, we could not have achieved this core purpose. You added so much to the Wilkes learning experience that was important and worthy of our thanks. You now leave Wilkes to go on to new and exciting endeavors. We wish you all the best. I truly believe we have equipped you well for this next step in your life. Work hard, work smart and care about those around you. Take a chance, make a difference, do the right thing and laugh a lot. And don't forget that Wilkes cares about you and what lies ahead for you. Keep in close touch through the alumni association. Come back from time to time to add knowledge on to the foundation of knowledge and skills you built in your undergraduate career. And give back to the University your time, talent and treasure so that future students can have the same opportunities at Wilkes you had. Let Patty and me add our personal congratulations and best wishes to you. We know you will make Wilkes proud! Sincerely, Tim Gilmour President J. · C. Farley President's Message 3 �In Memory of Sean Cahill May 26, 1978 - January 1, 2002 When someone comes into your life so unexpectedly, yet so appropriately, it has the possibility of changing your life forever. They can impact you and those around you so greatly that your life can never be the same. However, it is when that person must leave, that you must be at your strongest, for it is a great blessing that you had even one day to be in the presence of an angel.

Most Wilkes students remember him as the friendly, elderly man who greeted them with a smile and would help them with their trays. Faculty, staff, and students all had the fortune to get to know Horwitz during his time at Wilkes. He will be sadly missed by the Wilkes community and will always hold a special place in the hearts of people he touched. 4 In Memory Of �rwry .1 ary 1, 2002 > unexpectedly, yet so f changing your life 1ose around you so mme.

She was majoring in psychology and her hope was to help others, especially those suffering with eating disorders. Lauren was curious, adventurous, inquisitive, and had a great sense of humor. Lauren reached out to those less fortunate and was always there to help those in need. Our beautiful daughter loved mountain biking, rollerblading and especially skiing. Lauren showed her strength in many ways, but especially after suffering with an eating disorder for 5 and 1/2 years, was truly recovering. Lauren inspired so many with her courage and determination to beat this horrific illness and unfortunately did not get her chance to enjoy her once happy life, as she so deserved. Lauren truly appreciated the caring, kind ways of her advisors, Dr. Deborah Tindell and Dr. Diane Polachek as we did, her parents. Lauren's best friend was her sister, Robyn. To the Wilkes Family, we want to thank you for being there for our beautiful daughter who will be forever missed and forever loved.

They ended the season with a record of 8-2 overall and 7-2 in conference, while breaking some records along the way. They started by winning their opening Middle Atlantic conference game against Albright University, 55-28. Brett Trichilo rushed for a total of 31 times to get a total of 301 yards and four touchdowns. Trichilo beat his previous record of 254 yards set back in 2001 at the game against Juniata College. Although they may have lost their second game against Lycoming, it did not stop the team for long. They came back to win against FDU-Florham and Widener. The Colonels next game was a close 22-20 game against Moravian, which Wilkes unfortunately lost. However, the team pulled together and won 59-20 over Susquehanna University the following week. During the Susquehanna game, Trichilo exceeded the 1,000 yard mark, reaching 1,131 yards during the season and 3,108 yards for his career. This moved Trichilo up to second place on the all-time rushing list at Wilkes. After winning against Juniata the Colonels moved to an overall record of 5-2 and 4-2 in the conference. During the game Trichilo made a new record, averaging 188 yards per game and moving his 2003 season total to 1,397 yards. Trichilo beat the previous record of 1,390 yards set by Mike Hankins back in 1997, and tied the record of single-season touchdown mark of 15 set by Mike Gundersdorf in 1996. Duran Parrino, a sophomore quarterback has also put out an outstanding effort. During the Juniata game he completed 16-of-25 pass attempts for 213 yards. The Colonels reached a season-high of 585 yards in total offense. Wilkes ended their season with a win over King's College, 37 -0. Running back Brett Trichilo rushed 261 yards and made four touchdowns. This made Trichilo the sixth player in the NCAA Division III history to surpass the 2,000 yard mark in a season.

This group of young men worked diligently day in and day out to compete for the MAC championship and although we fell one game short it was truly a special season. For Bret Trichilo this year may be one of the finest if not the best season ever enjoyed by a Wilkes football player. The records speak for themselves but the humility that Bret exemplified during the season was equally as gratifying and personified what this team was all about - 'The Team' We had many great wins but the season finale against King's and the dominant effort of our team has to be the highlight of the season. Our players were focused and determined to prove that they were the better team."

Matt Foreman, 102 Men's Soccer �The Wilkes University Men's Soccer team entered the season with hopes of qualifying for Freedom Conference playoffs for the fifth time in the last six years. However with two heartbreaking losses to King's College and Delaware Valley College to close out the season, their postseason hopes were dashed. The Colonels, who played a competitive schedule throughout the season, ended with an overall record of 6-12-1 and 2-4-1 in the conference. The highlights of the year came when the team posted a 0-0 tie to nationally ranked and conference power Drew University and head coach Phil Wingert registering his 200th career win with a 1-0 victory over Gwynedd Mercy College. The Colonels lineup saw a lot of new faces in 2003, starting as many as seven freshmen in some games. Thanks to the help of the six seniors, these underclassmen became accustomed with the system and helped the team become competitive by the season's end. Senior captions Mike Faneck and Ken Huelbig showed leadership on and off the field, setting the tone for each game. Fellow classmates Scott Carr, Jon Ritter, Matt Kulp, and Will Roy played key roles throughout the season also providing leadership to a young team with promise. The team was led offensively by Will Roy who scored five goals on the year. Mike Faneck ended his career by providing three goals and three assists from his midfield position. Freshman Steve Uhas finished his rookie campaign scoring two goals and dishing out three assists. Faneck was selected 1st Team Freedom Conference All-Star while Mike Bridy and Uhas garnered 2nd Team honors. Uhas was also the first Wilkes men's player to be selected Rookie of the Year in the Freedom Conference. The Colonels were led defensively by freshman goalkeeper Dominic Proctor. Proctor finished the year with three shutouts and a 1.98 goals against average. With the returning core of underclassmen and the experience they gained from this season, the men's soccer team will look to grow on the 2003 season and continue to build on the success and hard work of this year's seniors.

The Colonel Coaches had only 8 veterans returning to the field. With a young squad, Coach Sumoski gave his 14 freshman the necessary support, confidence, and skills needed to play at the college level. The team was led by its three captains senior Lyndsey McWilliams, senior Katie Green, and junior Jillian Chiucchi. The Lady Colonels soccer team continued a winning tradition by gathering 9 wins, 8 losses, and 2 ties in the regular season. The Lady Colonels also advanced to the Freedom Conference playoffs for the fourth straight year. The season had a shaky start with 7 losses within the first eleven games, including 3 conference defeats. But the squad's perseverance, determination, and heart rose above when it really mattered. In their twelfth game of the season Wilkes began their winning streak, and a chain of 474 scoreless minutes, including an upset of 4-0 to Lycoming College. The success continued through four conference wins, including cross town rival Kings College. The Colonels achieved a momentous win over College Misericordia, winning 1-0. The enthusiasm from this game lifted the spirits of the Lady Colonels and drove them onto the Freedom Conference semi-final match. Wilkes finished their season with a 2-0 loss to nationally ranked University of Scranton. Post season honors went to senior Lyndsey McWilliams, sophomore Rena Bolin, and freshman Christina Waldele. Waldele was named Freedom Conference Rookie of the Year and she also acquired a seat on the All-Conference first team. McWilliams and Bolin were both selected to the All-Conference second team.

The team finished the season with a record of 5-6, which was their best season in recent memory. The biggest win of the season was against King's College, when the team won a very close match 5-4. This was the first time in the last 11 years in which Wilkes defeated King's. Wilkes also had wins over DeSales University, Keystone College, Gwynedd Mercy College, and Widener University. The season ended with an appearance at the MAC singles and doubles tournament at Drew University. Both of the doubles teams advanced to the second round in this very competitive tournament. The team was led by senior co-captain Selena Bednarz, and junior co-captain Rajitha Devadoss. Bednarz played #2 singles, and also was a member of the # 1 doubles team. Devadoss was a doubles specialist, playing in the #3 doubles position. Sophomore Kelly Leach played # 1 singles and doubles, and was a Freedom Conference Second Team All-Star. The two freshmen varsity starters, Sara Ryder and Jill Zapotoski, had a very successful first year. These two led the team in singles victories, both posting an impressive 7-3 mark. Also contributing to the varsity team were Kristin Kile and Liz Roveda. Kile played a pivotal role on the team, competing at the #4 singles and #2 doubles spot. Roveda had the best winning percentage on the team, playing at the #6 spot. This Wilkes tennis team has a very bright future, with the majority of the team returning next year. The team will miss the leadership of Bednarz and Devadoss, who helped lead the team this year. The team hopes to keep improving, and to challenge for the conference title in the near future.

Megan Riley and Amanda Millheim each had four kills, while Jillian Focht had six service aces, and Nicole Hahn handed out six attacks.

She came into the game with 681 digs and scored 16 more to overcome the school record of 684 digs. Throughout the entire season, the Lady Colonels volleyball team had ten wins.

There were great contributions from many of the team members that helped the girls stay strong. Some key highlights include Andrea Demaranville's game high score of 27 points verse Delaware Valley. Although Wilkes fell short by the end of the 60 minutes , with the help of DeMaranville and Lurena Gimbles's 10 rebounds , it portrayed some of the fire the team had waiting to reveal. One of the key games revealing the Lady Colonels desire was verse the Lady Monarchs at King's College. The Lady Colonels held the Monarchs to 32 points while tallying 26 of their own by the end of the first half. Although still falling short at the end of the game, DeMaranville led Wilkes with 16 points and a game-high 9 rebounds. Corinne Stewart also contributed 13 points and 7 boards, while Rena Bolin had 11 points, five assists and three steals. The Women's Basketball program ended their season on a great note defeating Drew University 62-60 to carry some momentum into next year. A game high of 18 points with 3 of them being 3 pointers from Danielle Kresock, helped this game be one of the most outstanding. With a very young, enthusiastic group of student-athletes the program will continue to grow and develop into one of the top teams in the MAC. We must say goodbye to two tremendous seniors, Corinne Stewart and Janna Ward. Both have been an integral part of the success over the past three seasons. The returning Lady Colonels are looking forward to getting started next season and making a run at a playoff opportunity.

They were led by seniors Fritz Delva, Jon Jamison, John Muscarella and Jon Neyerlin. The Colonels wrestled matches against many different teams during the course of the season. They wrestled in many tournaments including King's Monarch Invitational, Oneonta State Red Dragon Invitational, RIT Invitational Tournament, the Brute-Adidas Invitational and the MAC Championships. The team finished fourth at Kings, third at Oneonta State, and seventh at the BruteAdidas. Jon Neyerlin placed 4th at RIT, while the Colonels finished 12th. During the Brute-Adidas Invitational at Ursinus, freshman Kyle Lenio led Wilkes to a victory and finished 2nd in the 165-pound weight class. Heavyweight Keith Altiery earned a 4th place finish by pinning Adam Abdelhamed from RIT in just 1 :26, as well as Andrew Haubois from Centenary in 3:56 during the consolidation semi-finals. Entering the MAC Finals, The Colonels started off day one in 7th place with 17 points following the first round of action. Mayer seeded 5th at 125-pounds, Ferrara seeded 3rd in the 141-pound weight class and Lenio seeded 5th at 165pounds. Day two of the MAC Finals were the championship rounds with the Colonels placing fifth overall with a total of 68 points. Freshman Mike Ferrara was the top finisher for Wilkes.

Not only did the Colonels make the Freedom Conference playoffs for the third straight year but they also established a new record for wins in a season. The Colonels' baseball team finished the regular season with an overall record of 26-12-1, one win better then the previous record of 25 wins. The most impressive stat of the season came not from one person but from the team as a whole. Senior Matt Midkiff and junior Tyler Trutt, both returning Conference All-Stars continued their success on the diamond. They led an offensive attack that finished 18th in the country in batting average. Both Trutt and Midkiff finished the regular season hitting well above .400 and were the one-two punch at the top of the Colonels' batting order. Also having successful seasons were senior Mike Spotts and juniors Dave Evans, Steve Imdorf and Josh Turel. These four provided the offensive power at the middle of the line up and played tremendous defense keeping Wilkes in many games. Pitching was led by a group of underclassmen, sophomores Mike Quinn and Mike Toomey, as well as freshmen Jeff Ridge. They saw many innings this season for Wilkes and got the experience that will help make the Colonel Baseball team competitive again next spring. With only three seniors, Spotts, Midkiff, and Dave Morgan gone from this year's team, the 2005 baseball team looks more talented then ever for head coach Joe Folek and should make for another historic season for the Colonels.

The squad has exhibited outstanding talent and has reached a high difficulty level in stunting and tumbling. This was possible due to the dedication of the team and a wonderful coach. The coach, Laura Macaravage, has been with Wilkes for the last eight years and with her guidance has enabled the cheerleading program to grow and continue to develop.

They got off to a rocky start by losing their first game to Widener University, 18-0. During this game Cassie Malone, the goalkeeper, had 25 registered saves. The Lady Colonels lost a Middle Atlantic Conference game against Moravian, 13-12, in overtime. Moravian scored the winning goal with just 38 seconds left in the overtime play. The Lady Colonels had their only win of the season, 11-5, over College Misercordia at Ralston Field. Danielle McDonald lead the team with four goals and one assist. Maria Currier had two goals and two helpers while Lyndsay Asinelli and Jennifer Compton both contributed two goals and one assist each. Goalkeeper Cassie Malone had seven saves during this game. The Lady Colonels ended their season with a loss to Lycoming College, 15-10. This left the team with an overall record of 112 and a conference record of 0-10. The team was coached by Nancy Billger, who had her first season as head coach at Wilkes University this year. The assistant coaches included Todd Broxmeyer, Matt McCaffrey and Lorey Mo lick. The Lady Colonels put a lot of hard work into this season and look forward to their third season of varsity play next year.

Many picked us as low as seventh in Freedom conference. This was not unusual as we finished 6th last year and lost seven starters or part time starters from that team. As a result we had to have several players really step up this year, including 6 freshman. We finished the season in second place overall, surprising many around the conference, with a chance of finishing first going into the last games of the year against rival King's College. Several moments from this season stand out. This year we had great team leadership and a close team. We got the performances we needed from our very young team (no seniors). We played an extremely tough schedule, one I feel may rank among the toughest five in the country in Division 3 softball. We had games scheduled with teams who rose to # 1st in the country, the #4th team, #7th team, #14th team, #15th team and the #18th team. In addition, we played eight teams who were ranked in the region. To play this tough a schedule with a team as young as ours was a real challenge. Of the four eastern regions in Division 3, we played all four regional champs. Some individual performances stand out from this challenging season. Jan Nunemacher and Nadine Taylor were both named to the Freedom Conference First Team. Julie Henry was named to the Freedom Conference Second Team. Laurie Agresti was named Rookie of the Year and Pitcher of the Year. Alexis Petite hit very well in the clutch including two walk off home runs including one against King's College. We also received very solid performances from several other players. Virtually every player had a positive impact on one game or another. Needless to say we are looking forward to next year, with everyone returning and several promising freshman coming in to challenge for starting positions. It will be a challenge since we certainly will not be picked as low as seventh next year in the pre-season and will not have the opportunity to "sneak up" on anyone.

She was majoring in psychology and her hope was to help others, especially those suffering with eating disorders. Lauren was curious, adventurous, inquisitive, and had a great sense of humor. Lauren reached out to those less fortunate and was always there to help those in need. Our beautiful daughter loved mountain biking, rollerblading and especially skiing. Lauren showed her strength in many ways, but especially after suffering with an eating disorder for 5 and 1/2 years, was truly recovering. Lauren inspired so many with her courage and determination to beat this horrific i11ness and unfortunately did not get her chance to enjoy her once happy life, as she so deserved. Lauren truly appreciated the caring, kind ways of her advisors, Dr. Deborah Tindell and Dr. Diane Polachek as we did, her parents. Lauren's best friend was her sister, Robyn. To the Wilkes Family, we want to thank you for being there for our beautiful daughter who will be forever missed and forever loved.

With a motto started from the very beginning, the team followed it by living it. "Live Strong - Be Strong" formulated all of what Wilkes stood for in the 2004 season. Getting off to a somewhat rocky game of ping-pong, Wilkes went into a win-loss battle in non-conference play. Falling short 2-0 to Lebanon Valley and 2-0 to Elmira College, two respected teams in their conferences, would have put many teams in a slump. Wilkes Women's Soccer defied everyone's expectations following such losses with two tremendous wins: one over regionally ranked Susquehanna University by a score of 3-1, the other, conference rival Drew University by a score of 1-0. After narrowly escaping Juniata's wrath and coming out on top with a 4-3 win, Wilkes peaked into an astonishing 6 game winning streak. Coach Sumoski stated, "As a team, we are playing very good soccer right now and have had great performances from a multitude of players." Team members Kristi Barsby and Kami Roth added great momentum to the team this year. Roth, a freshman, led the Colonels in goals with 12 this season. Barsby tied the assist record of 12 in one season. Five colonels were named to the AH-conference list at the end of the season for their performances. The list includes: Freshman Dana Lehman, Kami Roth, and Bethany Head, as well as sophomore Kristi Barsby and Christina Waldele. Wilkes said goodbye to three outstanding players and teammates this year: Sarah Polacheck, Jill Chiucchi (Qkey) and Katie Green. They brought tremendous energy to the field and will be greatly missed. As with many teams, this one had a dream at the beginning of the season. Many were disappointed at the end, with a 4-0 loss to Scranton; tears were shed, hugs given out, a dream seemingly ended. The thing that separates this team from other teams though, is their intestinal fortitude, or guts, that hold it together, even through the toughest of losses and the greatest of victories.

Men's Basketball ~ 7' } �November l9, 2004 Women's Basketball The Wilkes University women's basketball team showed a marked competitive improvement over last year's team, although not indicated in the overall record of the team. Several injuries to key players slowed the team's progress, including a season ending knee irtjury in the second game of the season to leading returning scorer, senior forward , Andrea DeMaranville, and ankle injuries to junior point guard , Rena Bolin, and freshman shooting guard, Randi Corbo , causing each of them to sit out a couple of weeks worth of games. Despite the injury setbacl(s, the Lady Colonels were competitive throughout the season with the highlight coming in a thrilling home overtime victory over a FDU team that qualified for the Freedom Conference playoffs. A last second jump shot by Rena Bolin at the end of the overtime period sealed the win for the Colonels. Inexperience at the center and power forward positions showed throughout the season, but the future looks very bright as starting freshman center, Karyn Peres tam , set the school record for blocks in a season and finished 2nd in th e Freedom Conference in blocks and 5th in rebounding. Freshman forwards , Lacey Andresen and Katie Cappelloni, showed a lot of potential in the key contributions that each made to the team , after the injury to DeMaranville. Andresen finished 10th in the Freedom Conference in rebounding. Junior shooting guard , Andrea Kacprowicz, was a consistent shooter, scorer, and a team leader throughout the season, finishing 2nd in the Freedom Conference in 3-point field goals made per game, 3rd in 3 point field goal percentage, 3rd in free throw percentage, and 12th in scoring. Backcourt teammate and team captain, junior point guard , Rena Bolin, was voted Second Team All-Conference by the Freedom Conference coaches. Bolin was 10th in the Freedom Conference in scoring, 19th in rebounding, 6th in assists , and 9th in steals. The Lady Colonels lone senior, starting forward and team captain, Lyndsay Bey, will be missed for her many contributions to the team over her four years and we all wish her the best in her future endeavors. ~ Team Members Include: Katie Orr, Lara Judson, Andrea Kacprowicz, Randi Corbo, Lyndsay Bey, Lacey Andresen, Katie Cappelloni, Tristin Tkach, Rena Bolin, Karyn Perestam, Tricia Fenton Head Coach: Jim Reed Assistant Coaches: Kate Franks, Samantha Bedford "When it's played Uto be played, baskE the air; flying, fl0, above the floor, le oppressed peoph imagine themsE dreams." - John f .. , , .. ~ 8 , Women's Basketball �s Lil February 19, 2005 "Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." ~John Wooden , College Basketball Katie Orr, Lara Judson, >O, Lyndsay Bey, Lacey stin Tkach, Rena Bolin, icia Fenton Jim Reed te Franks, Samantha "When it's played the way is spozed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated above the floor, levitating the way oppressed peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams." ~John Edgar Wideman .., , ..

During the 2004-2005 season, the wrestling team experienced many November 6 , 2004 hardships over the course of the year. Experiencing setbacks only seemed to make the team stronger and more durable. Each teammate has picked up for those who were weak both mentally and physically, which made us a stronger team. Never give up, never quit and put all your heart into every thing that you do, whether it's in wrestling or life. This motto has led the Wilkes wrestling team to many great accomplishments, including 5th place in the Mid-Atlantic Conference Championships, ranking 16th in the country as a scholar team with a GPA of 3.177 and one All-American scholar, Kyle Lenio. These accomplishments are not accidental. They have been paid for with the blood, sweat and tears of many dedicated and determined individuals. One may ask what causes a person to put their body and mind through such rigors and abuse.

In addition to the Walk Towards Awareness, Wilkes features an overturned car jn front of Kirby Hall as a reminder of the consequences of driving under the influence. The horror of the twisted metal is enough to make anyone re-think their decision to drink and drive. If you've missed the overturned car, there are reminders all over campus that the combination of alcohol and vehicles can kill. During Alcohol Awareness Week, signs are displayed along the sidewalks of the greenway as a reminder of the many people who have died from alcohol related accidents. Although Al- coho] Awareness Week is jam packed with fun activities it is generally a very "sobering" experience. Wilkes University is not a dry campus; however, it does want students, primarily underage students, to be aware of the dangers that involve alcohol. Wilkes University Health Services, many of the sports teams, and a vast number of students make the trek across the Market Street bridge to Kirby Park as a symbol of remembrance and also hope. Unfortunately, too many of us have been affected by or know someone who has been affected by an alcohol related incident. Every year, if only one person has been reached, our goal has been accomplished. -Kate Baas Bottom Left: And they're off!

Multi-Culturalism is a way of life here at Wilkes University and the MultiCultural Affairs Office, led by Andita Parker Lloyd does a fantastic job of incorporating diversity into the lives of every student at Wilkes. Whether we realize it or not the face of Wilkes University is changing when it comes to diversity and it is definitely changing for the better. With new students from around the world there is much more for this campus organization to celebrate. Multi-Cultural Awareness week is jam-packed with events that celebrate our differences and allow each student to experience new people, culture, and ideas. The Multi-Cultural Student Coalition has been hard at work this year planning note-worthy events such as the International Fashion Show that was met with great success. Other events like the Celebration of the Chinese New Year, the Black Film Festival, and the Women's History Month Celebration are all great ways to explore Wilkes as a multi-faceted University that is accepting of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as their many beliefs and customs. -Kate Baas Life lies .

One night seems like nothing when compared to a lifetime of homelessness; however, for these Wilkes University Students, one night feels like a life- time. In the dead of winter, during Hunger and Homelessness Week a group of sh1dents come together with boxes, blankets, and a few food items to create their idea of what it would be like to live as a homeless person. This annual event takes place on the Wilkes University Greenway and is a reminder for all who walk by that homelessness and poverty is a problem in the United States.

The theme is undoubtedly the most important part of the weekend. Each team stretches the limits of their creativity as they try and come up with a slogan that just might pass with the judges. The 2005-2006 Winter Weekend theme was Nickolodeon Television Shows. Considering the age group of many of the students here at Wilkes University, this was by far the favorite. The competition for the best team name is only half of the fun. With activities ranging from dodgeball to frozen bubble (locating frozen bubble gum in a dish of whipped cream using only your face), a good time was had by all. Despite the fierce competition, there can only be one winner. The winner of this year's competition was team Salute Your Shorts. The Camp Anawanna theme captured the hearts of the judges with their boxer shorts and true summer camp spirit. This team, last year's third place winners put many weeks of planning and preparation into this year's win. Team Leader, David Scordino was a great motivator and crucial to the team effort. Whether you win or lose, it is difficult to find a student on campus that does not participate in this annual event. Not only is this weekend about the awesome tee shirts but it is about having a great time with friends and becoming involved with everything that Wilkes has to offer. If you participated in this year's Winter Weekend, I hope you remembered to: SALUTE YOUR SHORTS! 46 Winter Weekend ��Right: Advisor and student show off their dance moves as they get into the true spirit of Kentucky.

Every year, students from Wilkes make the journey to various locations around the world, with the hopes that they can somehow make a difference. Every year, without fail, they do indeed make a difference whether it is to help one person or an entire community. This year, the two Sprink Break locations were Kentucky and Peru. With the help of the Community Service Office, our Vista Representative and the Interfaith Office, a large group of Wilkes University students were separated into groups and sent to each of these locations. The students who participated in Alternative Spring Break had nothing but good things to say about the program. The meetings and preparation were well worth the memories that they will carry with them. When asked if they were disappointed that they did not visit a tropical resort or ski lodge for their spring break, the response was overwhelming. They could not have had a better time anywhere else. Tn addition to the crazy times and memorable moments, these students did not lose sight of what their trips were all about. They made a difference.

The decorations and center pieces we created with all different items that you would find in a bathroom. The staircase leading to the room was decorated with tiny, yellow rubber ducks lining the railing with streamer hanging at the bottom of the stairs. In the room decorations consisted of luffa bouquets scattered around the room with a center piece on each table and a favor for each person. The center piece was made up of a wire basket in the shape of a bathtub with a large colored rubber duck, body scrub, body lotion, and a luffa with three balloons attached. The person who won the pass the spoon game got to take home the center piece at the end of the night. The favors were brandy glasses filled with blue tissue paper, glass beads, mini bubbles, and a miniature, yellow rubber duck. The dance started at 6 pm. Hors d'oeuvres were served and consisted of fresh fruit and sweets to dip under the delectable chocolate fountain. The dancing continued all the way until 12 am with music provided by D.J. Magnum.

Following a disappointing start of the season, losing two of the first three games on the last play of the game; the Colonels were able to win their remaining seven contests. Highlighted by dramatic wins at Lycoming and Moravian, the Colonels ended their season in a "must win" game versus their cross-town rivals Kings College with a NCAA playoff berth at stake.

Early morning runs, teamed with intense strength training and a crazy amount of sprint work, drove the team to their physical peak. Summer training was hard, but the dream was even greater. Coach Sumoski warned his two seniors, Jennifer Compton and Tara Friedman that this season would fly by and fly it certainly did. Our 2005 season started a little earlier than all of the rest. Many of the girls from the team took a trip to Europe to compete in International competition and do some serious sightseeing. After this vacation, the real season began. A strict no-alcohol policy was put into effect the first day of preseason and after that was established, Wilkes Women's Soccer didn't look back. Winning eleven straight games against fierce competition in and out of the MAC conference, one of the most notable ones to the University of Scranton, our streak ended with a paralyzing loss to College Misercordia. As if the loss weren't hard enough to handle, our beloved goalkeeper, Liz Pauly (a.k.a. pirate), was taken out early in the game and had to remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season as she recovered from her numerous injuries. Freshman keeper Jess Berkey walked on the field with everyone's eyes upon her. The pressure for most would have been too much to bear, but Jess took it all in stride. Wilkes Women's Soccer would finish the rest of the regular season 13-3-1. As postseason began, the girls could sense the pressure and excitement that surrounded the playoffs. After a 2-1 win over FDU in the semifinal game, Wilkes was on its way to the MAC Championship Game against first-seated Drew University. Having played Drew just the week before, the team was ready. Wilkes scored what would be the winning goal with 14: 4 7 left in the second half. The team held off Drew for the remainder of the game, making this Wilkes Women's Soccer team the first team to ever win the MAC conference. With this win, the team was placed into the NCAA pool and traveled to Steven's Institute of Technology. After a loss that would be their last, the team walked off the field completely exhausted and spent. Wilkes Women's Soccer 2005, although coming up short in the NCAA playoffs, would be remembered as the team that realized a dream and succeeded in obtaining it. A special congratulation goes out to Dana Lehman and Jennifer Compton, each receiving Mid-Atlantic All Region awards for their efforts this season! Also, the team achieved success off the field. The team GPA was a 3.45 with many of our athletes making the MAC Academic All-Star roster including: Jen Compton, Tara Friedman, Christina Waldele, Kristi Barsby, Dana Lehman, Suzie Zavistoski, Cassandra Hare, Gina Robinson, Liz Pauly, Bri Bertoni, Bethany Head, and Becca Duttry!

Lauren Risser scored the only goal of the match with 3 :20 remaining in the second half to lead Wilkes University to a 1-0 Freedom Conference field hockey win over 18th-ranked King's College on Wednesday afternoon at Artillery Park. The win improves the Lady Colonels to 6-6 overall and 1-2 in the conference. King's dropped its second consecutive contest to fall to 9-2. The Lady Monarchs are 2-1 in conference play. Wilkes had a golden opportunity to score early in the contest when Devon McKay picked up a loose ball and fired a shot that hit the right post. The Lady Monarchs would counter by out-shooting Wilkes 6-4 in the opening stanza. However, thanks to the play of Lady Colonels goalkeeper Hilary Weber and King's goalie Kari Leach, neither team was able to convert and the two teams went into half time tied at 0-0. Wilkes would hold an 8-3 shots advantage in the second half, but it wasn't until late that the Lady Colonels were able to take the lead. Lindsay Thomas beat a King's defender and ripped a pass across to Risser. Risser, who also scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 1-0 win over William Paterson University, pushed a shot into the lower-left comer to provide Wilkes with a 1-0 advantage. King 's would counter with an attack in the closing minutes. The Lady Monarchs were able to secure a penalty corner as time expired.

With the victory the Lady Colonels improved to 26-13 overall and earned the conference's automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Championship which is slated to begin on Thursday. King's, which saw its string of six consecutive conference titles come to an end, saw their record fall to 36-7. The Lady Monarchs will await word on a possible at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament when the field is announced on Monday morning. King's held a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. However, Wilkes would rally when Erin Plank reached on an error and Shelley Pheiff drew a one-out walk. Grohol then stepped to the plate and hit her three-run homer over the center field fence to knot the game at 3-3 and force extra innings. Evanich, who pitched the final three innings in relief, struck out Cassy Shiffer, Annie Drimones and Abbey Knoblauch in the top half of the eighth inning to keep the momentum with Wilkes. She then opened the bottom of the eighth with her school-record 12th homer of the campaign to provide the Lady Colonels with the victory. King's took a 2-0 lead in the first against Wilkes starter Laurie Agresti. Justine Maggio singled and advanced to third on a double by Nikki Kotula. After Agresti fanned Mari Valonis for the second out, Kate Shiffer singled Calgary 84' Rockto score both Maggio and Kotula and put the Lady Monarchs 1es on top. King's would tack on an additional run in the fifth to extend their lead to 3-0. Kotula cracked a one-out double and proceeded to steal third base.

The photograph to the left shows an image of a Wilkes University banner displayed outside of Breiseth. The photograph above depicts a gorgeous view of the Wilkes Unversity campus outside of Stark Learning Center on River Street. 140 History of Wilkes University The picture to the right allows you to get a close-up view of a Wilkes University sign on campus. �The picture to the left is a statue that is located in the middle of Wilkes University's campus of John Wilkes (1727-1797) The History of Wilkes University The institution we know today as Wilkes University began in 1933... when Bucknell University established its Junior College in WilkesBarre, Pennsylvania. Bucknell University Junior College (BUJC) attracted eager, highly motivated, and able young persons, virtually all of whom were the first members of their families to benefit from higher education. The Junior College also received support and encouragement from leading members of the Wilkes-Barre community. The stately mansions that are now used as residence halls and offices are a testament to the tradition of community service and generosity characteristic of the Wilkes-Barre area's leadership. In 1947, Wilkes College was instituted as an independent, nondenominational... four-year college, with programs in the arts, sciences, and a number of professional fields as well as a full program of extra-curricular activities. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventful and productive half-century of development and signaled the beginning of a new era of progress as an increasingly distinguished and prominent academic institution. Wilkes University further distinguished itself in 1996 when ... the eagerly anticipated School of Pharmacy opened. Three years later, through a generous gift from Mrs. Geraldine Nesbitt Orr, the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy at Wilkes University was established. In 2004, the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business & Leadership... opened its doors with a unique program that emphasizes not only business skills, but also the value of cognitive and emotional intelligence. In 2005, the "new" Henry Student Center was expanded and... the University purchased an 80,000 square foot building in downtown Wilkes-Barre.

Wear sunscreen: If I could offer you only one tip for the future , sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. l will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they 've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you 'II look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don 't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blind side you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Read the directions , even if you don't follow them . Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They 're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you 're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. lf you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don 't feel gui lty if you don 't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't know. Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you 'II fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their ciders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you 'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, buy be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal ,wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won 't. Maybe you ' ll have children, maybe you won 't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you 'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's. Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don 't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. - Kurt Vonnegut - Congranuatory Messages Page 134 Page 118 Table of Contents 1 �����Left to Right, Front Row: Rachel Jablon, John Botch, Ashley Straub, Pat Austin, Donny Clarke Second Row: Liz Clark, Jillian Stark, Lamanda Ziegler, Heidi Savers, Jillian Englesbe, Krisitn Elia, Kristina Johnson Third Row: Kim Lawrence, Jonathan Hummel, Ann-Marie DeAngelo, Sherilyn Jones, Bryce Russo, Mark Congdon Jr., Sean O'Neill, Jonathan Lazarchick, Mike Holden, Jade Eskovitz, Jeffrey Stane, Tim Gia., Dan Applegate, Chris Applegate, Devin Sassone-M, Anthony Phillips, Preston Nelson Fourth Row: Joe Riccardella, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Lori Kratz, Jackie Butwinski, Kristyn Hayes, Mandy Petrosky, Katelyn Karma, Zachary Dapew "You can be as social or as L-R Front: Kenneth Young, Darla Sharp, Enoch Hines L-R Middle Row: George Wasef, Mohammed Rahman, K-C Ann Creque, Krysten Zigga, Amanda Moeller, Stefanie Wills, Ashley Leggio, Justine Leggio L-R Back Row: Andrew Rock, Timothy Fentress, Bryan Gaughan, Amanda Baronowski, Kaley Hippensteal, Christopher Malzahn, Thomas Mealing, Thomas Connors, Andrew Toth, Michael Gerrity, Jillian Castellano, Shane Moran, Christian Makuza 6 Dorms Residents: Abdal Al-Ballaa, Ab Buckley, Sara Bwint, Danielle DeMott, Steve Felter, Austin F< Ann Hofmann, Evan Horvath: Langguth, Stephanie Langner, 1' Mulvihill, Ted Orelien, Jeffrey Scalese, Jay Shah, Matthew Srr solitary Residents: Matthev Fought, Matthew �Second Row: Liz n Third Row: Kim n Jr., Sean O'Neill, ;

During the months of June and July the Freshman Class got together for fun and games. The event began in the UComm where students played ice breakers to get to know each other. Students also got to participate in a community service project. Some of the projects included cleaning the river and helping to organize the library. Incoming students also had the chance to witness the night life of Wilkes University by participating in Casino Night. Students had the opportunity to win many prizes such as Ipods, TVs, Sound Systems, and computer peripherals.

However, homecoming is much more to those students who return to Wilkes University years after graduation. For them, it's about catching up, honoring important people, and most importantly coming home. This year the Wilkes University Alumni Office honored the class of 1956 for its 50th anniversary during homecoming weekend. Sandra Carroll, executive director of alumni relations said, " Our goal is to eventually honor every reunioning class." The class of 1957 already has a committee in place for next year. On Friday evening Wilkes hosted a Golden Colonel Induction ceremony and a President's breakfast on Saturday morning as well as a pre-game announcement all of which sought in different ways to honor the class. The homecoming dinner dance was held on Friday, October 6 at Genetti's from 6:00-11:00 p.m. Here's the court was introduced, appetizers and dinner was served, and a live DJ provided entertainment. The DJ will be playing top songs of today. Choices for dinner were chicken francese , prime rib and patsta primavera. Dessert was chocolate parfait. - Credits given to The Beacon's Sarah Doman & Nicole Zastko Homecoming Dance 25 �Left: Students get a wack at the King's Monarch with a baseball bat and blindfold.

The Pep Rally was held Friday night to get all of the students pumped up for the game. It was packed with students who all gathered on the Greenway. Entertainment consisted of music and a pinata along with performances by the Cheerleaders and the Dance Team. Students took turns swinging at the pinata until one student was strong enough to break it apart. Student Government also announced the top three men and women for the Homecoming Court. The top three men were Dave Scordino, Andrew Eckert, and Vinny Abbot. The top three girls were Courtney Amrhein, Jenna Strzelecki, and Amanda Baronowski. The King and Queen were then announced the next day at the football game during half-time. Jenna Strzelecki and Dave Scordino were crowned the 2006-2007 Homecoming King and Queen.

One senior, Keith Cavallotti, emerged from the pack to gain homecoming Most Valuable Player of the game and Beacon Athlete of the Week honors. "]twas a great performance. He is a great player, and he is on a great team. Our coach asked the team to go outthere and make plays, and he went out there and did it," said fellow senior defensive lineman Rex Harris. Media Credit: Todd Weibel Athlete of the Week: Kerth Cavollottl "Cavollotti, senior defensive lineman from Scranton put on a memorable defensive show with a total of five tackles, and a surprising three sacks of the team's eight." Homecoming Court 2006-2007 winners were Business Administration graduate Jenna Strzelecki, as well as senior Biology graduate Dave Scordino. 28 Homecoming/ Cheerleading The Colonels defense gladly shut down the Warriors by only giving up 14 rushing yards, which equates to a sad average of .5 rushing yards per play. Cavallotti was at the forefront ofthat stubborn Colonel defense, and was a key factor in their homecoming victory. Cavallotti 1s m the process of leaving his mark on this year's Wilkes football story with a total of 24 tackles, 3 forced fumbles, and 8 sacks on the season. Junior Franklin native Jason Acquaye believes, "Cav is the shining star of the defensive line, and he is a great person, and great athlete, and that combination helps gel our defense." With the Colonels playing efficiently winning all five of their games, we should expect more "great" play from Cavallotti as he leads his defense to the promise land. -The Beacon's Carlton Holmes �Wilkes University' #36 receives praise after scoring a touchdown.

Students could even win pet fish at one of the games. Of course the free food must have had something to do with the large student turnout. There were Gyros, Dippin Dots, Rita's Italian Ice, and a buffet of picnic-type food. .... ...... crj ·=-I\ 0 =..i:::: Q . ...... ~ ;:::l Q ...... rn ;:::l 0 O . ......, ...,..i i::::: "5 0 1Y Block Party 4 3 �COMMEN CiEMEN1 CEREMONY~ 2007--------{ Congratulations to the Graduates of 2007 ! Due to renovations in the greenway, this year's commencement ceremony was held in the Wachovia Arena. Although there was a change in location, the bittersweet sentiments remained the same. Wilkes University was lucky enough to present awards to several outstanding students including Sarah Oley, Elizabeth Rish, Shuja Shafqat, and John Treven. These students worked very hard to attain their stellar GPA's. Another hard working person made a special appearance as the key note speaker when Marlee Matlin presented her inspirational speech. As a deaf actress, Matlin demonstrated how it is possible to overcome hardships and become a successful individual. It is hard to believe that another year has come to a close but it is the Wilkes University Commencement Ceremony that makes that closing a reality. Due to the excess space provided by the Arena, students were able to celebrate this momentous occasion with as many family and friends as they could possibly invite. Congratulations class of 2007, throughout the last four, or maybe six years, you have shown how intelligent and successful you can be in an academic environment and now it is time for you to prove that you can be just as successful in your future endeavors.

The institution we know today as Wilkes University began in 1933 ... when Bucknell University established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Bucknell University Junior College (BUJC) attracted eager, highly motivated, and able young persons, virtually all of whom were the first members of their families to benefit from higher education. The Junior College also received support and encouragement from leading members of the Wilkes-Barre community. The stately mansions that are now used as residence halls and offices are a testament to the tradition of community service and generosity characteristic of the Wilkes-Barre area's leadership. In 1947, Wilkes College was in stituted as an independent, nondenominational... four-year college, with programs in the arts, sciences, and a number of professional fields as well as a full program of extra-curricular activities. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventful and productive half-century of deve lopment and signaled the beginning of a new era of progress as an increasingly distinguished and prominent academic institution. In 2005, the "new" Henry Student Center was expanded and ... the University purchased an 80,000 square foot building in downtown Wilkes-Barre. - lnfomiation found at http ://www.wilkes. edu/ "You have to stand outside of the box to see how the box can be re-designed." -Charles Handy 108 Faculty & Staff In 2004, the Jay S.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992 �ation t we are inadequate. ve are powerful beyond not our darkness that ves, who am I to be .lous?

With more and more students making Wilkes University their home each year, the university is outgrowing its current space and expanding into downtown Wilkes-Barre. On June 27, 2006, the university entered into a purchase agreement with University Towers located at 10 East South Street. Discussion between the owners of the property and Wilkes University started approximately two years ago. The property was considered along with the University Center on Main as buildings that would go together as part of a deal. "lt's a mix of acquiring more space as well as removing current space that in the long te1111 we won 't be able to fully deliver to the students," said Scott Byers, vice president for finance and suppoti services . 140 New Renovations The purchase so lves mul tiple needs, inc luding the univers ity's need for expansion for res ident students and the abili ty to get out of inefficient build ings. "It a llows us to divest fro m some properties that we probably need to get out of and woul d be too ex pensive ifwe were to renovate them. The univers ity has no plans to ge t out of the mansions. There are some of ou r res ident fac ilities that rea lly aren't hi storic and really need to be retired or upgraded," said Chri stopher Bailey, d irecto r of publi c safety.

" We've gotten very positive fee dback. I beli eve it 's the hi ghest rated dorm , and it's met the students' needs we ll ," said Byers. Wilkes Uni vers ity is currentl y leasing space at Uni versity Towers and also looked into renovati ng other dorms.

Acquisition of the former Call Center, the adjacent parking lot on South Street and the Park-n-Lock South garage on Main Street have provided the University with an 80,000 square foot building plus 575 parking spaces. The large, open space within the UCoM has been programmed for athletic practice and general recreation space. The facility is outfitted with a batting cage, basketball backboards and a protective curtain wall system. Using a multi-purpose flooring material, there are three courts that may be used for basketball, volleyball or tennis. This special flooring provides flexible space that is an excellent locatin for early spring sport practice sessions. In addition, to support the University's Student Leadership program, there are high ropes and a rock wall for climbing. The work is complete and the Athletic Depatment is using the facility. The Office Project programming and design phases are complete. Key elements of the design concept are collaboration, integration, and teamwork. While supporting the University's strategic initiatives the concept has created professional and team working environments across various support functions to better serve our students. The UCOM Parking Garage Project consisted of painting of the lobby areas on each floor will take place over the summer of 2006. The garage was cleaned; structural repairs were made; and new lighting, exit lights, and emergency telephones were installed on all floors.
