Destruction, however, started this past Monday and it will only be a matter of time before the area is cleared away ._The structure of the library can be seen in the background which is one of the reasons why the old Commons is being torn down. Not'only was it replaced by the new Student Center but its removal will enhance the appearance of the library. Flash! The Winter Olympics will be held in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. on February 8, 9 and 10. Student Government's Social Committee, headed by Marla Brodsky, Diane Seech, Dave Blumfield and Tim Ryan, named the theme of . 1980's Winter Weekend " Wilkes First Olympiad." The committee is working very diligently and closely together to providt: an exciting weekend of athletic and social events. The weekend begins February 8th at 6:30 p.m. with the opening ceremonies. A parade including Dean Ralston, majorettes, strutters, a marching band and all the teams, will march through Kirby Park into Ralston Field. The opening speech welcoming all the countries ·will be given by Dave Blumfield. The torch runner will enter the field and light the big torch, giving an official start to the Olympiad. Reaccreditation Moves One Step C l o s e r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - f in al Report Issued By MSA After more than two months since their visit on campus, the Middle States Association Evaluation Team has issued a final report on the reaccreditation of the college as interpreted by the chairman, Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean at Drew University. The report, which Dr. Ackerman says is " ... made in good faith, in an effort to assist Wilkes College," begins with a two-page annual institutional data summary which includes such topics as faculty, students, cultural facilities, finances and the library to name just a few. After this brief update on the college, the bulk of the report begins with an introduction before proceeding into eight sub-topics; institutional goals and objectives, the student body, the educational program, the faculty , governance, institutional facilities, educational resources and financial resources, all of which were mentioned in the school's self-study report. In the introduction of the report, Dr. Ackerman states, "The Evaluation Team found Wilkes College to be an interesting and unique institution. The Self-Study Report was obviously the result of much work, self-criticism, and searching." A very important point of introducs tion is the mention of the 1972 flood which caused much damage to the college. The chairman points out that, " ... the current state of the College could be understood only with some knowledge of the flood," and that reference to it will be made throughout the report. Concerning the institutional goals and objectives of the college, the evaluation team noted that, "The college seems to be properly concerned with maintaining and enhancing certain positive characteristics of being a small college, e.g., congeniality and an improved advisory system for the students." It was also pointed out that although there are a number of programs on campus established to reduce attrition. "The team could detect no significant change in the admissions standards ... '' Two other important issues in this section are the discussion of the problems the school is having with balancing vocationalism and liberal arts, and " ...an imbalance of attention given to male and varsity sports, such as wrestling, at the expense of female and intramural sports." The evaluation committee recommended that the school continue to work at attaining a balance between the two types of education, while seriously considering the expansion of the present physical education facilities . Under the topic of the student body, Ackerman notes that the team found some problems in the quality of the academic advisement program, although the present system is adequate. Also under this heading, the chairman stated the lack of written statements concerning student rights, and recommended a written policy "... to remove occasional confusion. " The team stressed as well the clarification on what decisions can be made by the Dean's Council, and what issues must be handled solely by the Administrator's Staff President's Council. Ackerman finished by suggesting that the college " ... develop a philosophical statement" on the ways " ... dormitory living can contribute to student maturity." The MSA Evaluation Team found the educational · programs at the college to be excellent, with "The chief strength ... " being the faculty . Although impressed with the presence of "superb facilities," the evaluation group did discover space and equipment which was not fully utilized, leaving open the possibility for future development. In addressing the topic of the faculty , Dr. Ackerman commented that the team was pleased to see a dedicated and hard-working faculty becoming involved in the governance of the institution. It was also suggested that the college " ... strive to improve the level of compensation for the faculty" (such as by'improving the funds for travel to professional meetings) to increase morale. Governance at the college was found to be in a state of transition, though there was a general opinion of " ... confidence in the institution's leadership" according to most people on campus. High lighting the list of ideas dealing with governance, the team recommended that efforts should be made to develop an " ... effective evaluation program" ot teaching. After visiting various institutional facilities, Dr. Ackerman termed most buildings on campus to be very good. The academic facilities and equipment were described as excellent, with the Sordoni Art Gallery and the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for The Performing Arts giving the college " ... an exciting cultural 'edge' ... " One major down +fall of the campus was that, "The condition of the residence halls, including a number of large houses, is not.nearly as good as that of the academic buildings." The primary recommendation in this section was that the college ". .. close the . least desirable residence halls as soon as they can be replaced by better structures .. ." r The educational resources on campus were very advantageous according to Chairman Ackerman, with most of them being well-used and successful. The main recommendation in this section was that · the new copyright law should be publicized more than it presently is. In the final topic dealing with financial resources, "The team found Wilkes College to be in sound financial condition. The administration and trustees have · established a tradition of good stewardship.'; The Office of Comptroller was sufficiently staffed, with accounting and auditing procedures in accord with the ".. . acContinued on Page 7 At the end of the opening ceremonies a large flock of white doves will be released signifying peace and goodwill among the contestants. At promptly 8:30 p.m., the games will begin with the first round of the volleyball teurnament held in the gym. After these games end, the Senior Class will sponsor a "Class Feud." Saturday, February 9th, will be a day filled with activities. hi the gym will be the semi-finals of the volleyball tournament, while crosscountry skiing, relay races, traying, tug-o-war, and an obstacle course will be run in Kirby Park. There will also be an ice-skating competition held at Coal Street Park with everyone invited to come and skate free. Saturday night a Beach Party will be held in the gym, under the directing of Sullivan, Barre, Delaware and Miner Halls. There will be a band, food and refreshments for only $1.25. If you have the guts enough to actually Continued on Page 8 Erickson Resigns As Asst. Professor Effective this semester, Dr. John Erickson resigned his position as Assistant Professor of Biology, according to Dr. Lester Turoczi, Chairman of the Biology Department. Calling Dr. Erickson's move an "alleged resignation," Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs refused to comment on the situation further, stating that he made an agreement with Dr. Erickson not to make a public state_ment. · Two courses, Biology 302 and Biology 312, originally scheduled to be taught by Dr. Erickson during this semester were cancelled. Dr. Hartdagen would not clarify whether or not the courses were cancelled because of Dr. Erickson's move, stating, "One of them probably would have been cancelled anyway due to underenrollment. '' According to Dr. Turoczi, the courses were cancelled because of an underenrollmept, explaining that the department looks for ' ' ... a slide factor of 7," as a minimum number. The two courses had a total enrollment of 15. Although he had no further comment, Dr. Hartdagen stated that Dr. Erickson might wish to make a statement. The Beacon tried to reach Dr. Erickson for a statement, but he was unavailable for comment at presstime. PaUi Sparlow f �Page 2, The Beacon, January 24, 1980 . Six Western University Scandals Seen Non-Existent On Campus Due to the recent uncovery of fraudulent academic credits tFansferred to the records of student-athletes at six western universities, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the National Collegiate Athletic Association has announced a nation-wide inquiry concerning this matter, according to an article in the January issue of the New York Times. The article states that the athletes from the University of New Mexico, the University of Utah, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Arizona State University and San Jose State in California received credit for a summer course which many of them admittedly did little or no work for, with some of them not even attending classes. An FBI agent working on the case told the Times that, "The problem is not limited to a few schools. The problem runs wide and deep, and a lot of other institutions are vulnerable." The article goes on to state that, " According to Federal officials, possible mail and wire fraud, bribery, and conspiracy violations are being examined by the grand jury. They said the indictment of coaches and college officials responsible for preparing and transmitting fraudulent credits and transcripts 'is likely.' '' Apparently large universities are not the only Ol)eS under investigation by the FBI for smaller colleges like Pacific Christian College in Fulerton, California, and Compton Community College in Compton, California, are two of five community-type schools presently being questioned by the NCAA and Federal officials. With the nation-wide investigation of institutions participating athletics (especially Division one ) surely to reach the east coast, there is a slight possibility that Wilkes may be questioned about the credit records of its student-athletes. When asked to comment on this issue, various school officials unanimously expressed extreme confidence is the legality of studentathlete records. Ruthe Bishop, Recorder, although not very familiar with any of the fraudulent credit incidents out west, said that to her knowledge there has never been any type of credit scandal on campus. Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, also gave the school a vote of confidence when he answered the possibility of FBI intervention on campus with, "I would invite them to investigate Wilkes." Arthur Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, said that he did not know of any such incident ever occuring at Wilkes and that he hopes it never does happen. Hoover added, "We have a good system of checks and balances. I don't think such a scandal could happen here. I have great confidence in the institution." In accordance with the story in the New York Times, Bill Walsh, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and former football coach at Stanford University said, "Any college athlete who wants to can find a course for credit that requires no assignments and no attendance. " Commenting on this statement, Dean Hoover laughingly said, "Not at Wilkes. Even in Phys. Ed you still have to go to class! '' Although the chances of a federal inquiry occuring at Wilkes is highly unlikely, the college appears to be ready and willing for any type of investigation the FBI and-or NCAA may initiate, with the possible uncovering of wrong doings being totally unexpected. Peter Steve Open Letter To The Freshmen Class What happened to all that spirit .we possessed in the first few weeks of the fall semester? It seemed that the class of '83 was going to turn this school upside down with our enthusiasm. Presently, this is not the case. The Freshman Class of 1983 is the largest class ever to attend Wilkes College, but the attendance at class meetings does not in any way reflect this fact. We have had two class meetings since the election of class officers, and attendance at both meeting has been extremely poor; so poor in fact that we had to literally " drag" people off the streets so that Executive Cl)uncil could vote on pertinent matters ! The fact is, Executive Council cannot vote on proposed functions without a specific quarum of people, as designated by the ..Class Constitution. The quarum for Student Collapses In Ca/ After Sustaining Injury Keith Sands, a freshman biology major, collapsed in the cafeteria this past Saturday evening and was admitted to Nesbitt Memorial Hospital for treatment and observation concerning a head injury he sustained in his room late Friday night. Sands was apparently fooling around in his room with some of his friends when he fell and hit his head on a light switch. After being examined by Chris Woolverton of the college's Emergency Alert Team and other medical -personnel, the fresman biology major was advised to get some rest. Florida Trip Running Smoothly; Final Payment Due This Month According to Joe Galli, Student Government's coordinator of the Florida trip, everything is running smoothly, and 74 people will by taking the trip scheduled from March 1 to March 8. Galli explained that the final payment is due by the end of the month and so far there have been no problems with payments. In fact, many people have been making payments ahead of time. He noted that anyone interested in going can still do so if they pay for the trip in one lump sum. Everyone who is going on the trip is asked to see Galli at the SG office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall today or tomorrow in the afternoon to sign contracts and finalize arrangements with Student Government. There are three plans from which to choose. All three offer air transportation from Philadelphia. Plans A and C include unlimited use of a car, and plans B and C include accomodations at a hotel on the beach. Galli noted that plan C, "The Tradewinds Deluxe Hotal Package," has increased by $10. Bus transportation will be available to Philadelphia at a cost of $15. Bus tickets can be,purchased through the SG office the week before the trip. According to the travel agent other schools have booked over 1000 people for the trip and Galli noted that five other schools will be going at the same time with approximately 1000-lSOOpeople. Galli commented that once in Florida, everyone is on their own for the week. He pointed out that the response to the trip was not as great as he had anticipated. He reasoned th at lack of money may have prevented some people from going and the fact that this is the first time SG is doing this may have made some peopleapprehensive. Galli said, "Hopefully next year we can get a lot more people going." He added th at th e feedback from this year's trip will help to get people interested in future trips. He hopes that by working through a travel agent, SG can possible offer .::ent prices. Galli concluced, " I . h~~e everything works out well smce 1~ 1s the first time I ever did anythmg like this."

When contacted, Nesbitt Hospital listed Sands as fair and resting comfortably. Woolverton reported that when he spoke to Sands on Sunday evening, the freshman was feeling much better, and was reading some of the books his friends brough over for him earlier in the day. He went on to mention that if Sands continues to feel better, his doctors reportedly will release him in a day or two. Peter Steve the class happens to be 12, but Ex·ecutive Council only consists of 10 members! When no one shows up for the meeting, we cannot vote on matters which pertain to and benefit YOU. We feel more class involvement is necessary for our class to be successful and run efficiently. The class constitution provides Executive Council without the option to appoint freshman students to serve on exe::utive council. These selected members will have a vote at all class and Executive Council meetings, and will have the same privileges as an executive member. These appointed members will be selected by Executive Council on a merit basis. WE are looking for 3 students who we feel will be most beneficial to the class. So, come on ! We need your ideas, your proposals, and most importantly, your support. YOU elected us to be the leaders of the class, to be the "doers"; but we can't do anything without you to back us.

According to Blumfield, the staff has received the final report from the Middle States Association of College and Universities explaining that the college is in "very good shape" as Blumfield put it. Blumfield added. "we (Wilkes ) will be here ten years from now - a lot of other schools will not be here ten years from now." Blumfield also noted that the Administrators' Staff is planning to start a long range planning committee which will be composed of administrators, faculty, and students, and they will be responsible for making plans and setting goals for the college"-'for future years.

Blumfield announced that another chairman is needed, and the position can by filled by any member of the student body. Anyone interested should see Dave Blumfield or Ana Nunez . Nunez explained that the committee is still waiting for the results of an investigation into teacher evaluations by the Teacher Recognition and Effec tiveness Committee (TRECl . When the results of TREC are available, the Academic Committee will decide if the teacher evaluations should be continued. Nunez also reported that the Academic Standards Committee of the faculty is considering a proposal to change the deadline for course withdrawal without the consent of the instructor from the end of the tenth week to the end of the fourth week. The committee is also making changes regarding withdrawals and audits. Blumfield noted that once the Academic Standards Committee decides what to do, SG will decide what if any response will be necessary. In fund requests, the computer club requested $125 to help pay for a trip to IBM in New York next Tuesday. Blumfield closed the meeting and reopened it so that voting could be done at the same meeting. After some discussion by the SG representatives, a motion to grant the money was passed unanimously.

It is either a do or die decision 011 their part and we hope that whatever they decide, that it will be for the right reason. The history of the teacher evaluation is long and boring. The Beacon has covered the issue since day one and have given it our full support. Even though in its few attempts to has failed, sometimes miserably, we always felt that given time the project would mature and become very effective. To Student Government the project hs been a royal pain in the neck. The time put into it has not been worth the result so far. We understand the negative outlook some SG members have toward the evaluation but no one said it was going to be easy. It is our suggestion that Student Government give it one more try. This involves either hiring a consultant to find a way to implement the evaluation and compile the data into readable · form or FULLY investigate the problem themselves. It has to be a total commitment on their part otherwise they will never find the correct answer. If after a commeadable effort is made and it is foundthat the evaluation process in worthless then it shold be dropped. A commendable effort, however, is one that involve developing a questionnaire that meets the students needs and can also be used to feed into a computer to compile the data. As many classes as posible must b e evaluated with high percentage of attendance in each. The results must be made available before registration and in presented in a , style that is easy to understand. The work behind the project cannot be passed off to the SG Academic Committee Chairman alone. It should be shared among all SG members. It is a lot of work but if it benefits the college which we believe it will, then it certainly is worth it. Guest Editorial ...................... . Respect Others Acts of aggression and violence against individuals and nations threaten the peace of our world. Our concern and prayers are not only for the swift and safe return of the hostages held by the militants in Iran, but for a return to reason and principle in resolving the world's problems. In these times of political unrest and upheaval, I wish to assure our foreign-born students of Wilkes College's continued commitment to respect the rights of the individual and to maintain a free and open society. It is my fervent hope that all of us recognize the danger to ourselves and others in behaving irrationally or in seeking to blame the irresponsible acts of a lawless few on those not involved in those acts. Let us not look for scapegoats. Let us reaffirm our faith in the goals of the College, as stated in "An Educated Man," to seek truth ... to be aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs ... to respect the religious convictions of all men .. to participate constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community .. . to communicate ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth.

Why did the person committing the worse offense get the lighter punishment? I understand that the school wants to do away with cheating, but what does this example set by the school mean ? We're not allowed to cheat in class, but we're safe so long as we break into the professor's office? , The persons cheating in the computer science class get a semester suspension. The person breaking into the philosophy department merely isn't allowed to get caught doing it again. If need be, the school may borrow my ruler to slap the latter's knuckles. Why are the punishments so unequal? Various students gave comments. 1. The student had good grades. A lot of us have good grades, and they weren't gotten by cheating. Many students have really poor grades, but at least it's an honest effort. 2. The student had a lot to lose future-wise. All the students have a lot to lose. Tr u UStee nOnOTe d To Serve College And Students To the Editor: Early this year you wrote that you weren't sure that students should consider it an honor to attend Wilkes. As a member of your trustees, I'd like you and all your colleagues to know that I consider it an honor to serve you and your college in any way I can. In December you carried news of vandalism and cheating, now ripe and rampant in all U.S.A. centres of education - except perhaps the solid South. Compliments to the South and to their academic honor systems. Please recognize that any honor system rubs on to other aspects of college life - social, athletic, personal, religious, etc. etc. Perhaps you'll pardon my persistence on this subject, but I believe it is crucial to American ideals and behavior. And an honor system is crucial to Wilkes' future progress and development. Since the administration drags heels on this basic fundament . I suggest you students demand an honor system and make it work. The it will be an honor to attend Wilkes . Edward W. Bixby, M.D. NOTICE Starting on January 30th the CoOp Office will be open on Wednesday nights until 8:00 p.m. NOTICE The Financial Aid Office will be closed today. Anyone having questions can visit the office on Friday, when regular hours will be resumed. Everyone knew with the crackdown on cheating •that the first people caught were going to be examples. Somehow a curve ball came into the game, and only two of the three students got what they deserved. The third one showed the example to the students that you can get out of anything even if caught redhanded. What makes the difference? I wonder. 3. " It's typical." No comment necessary. Every Wilkes student understands this. As THE BEACON says, when the decision is made not to suspend a student, it can't be changed. However, it's a shame the other students, whoever they are, can't be let in this semester. The example they're supposed to set is ruined. Why punish them when the school itself ruined the point they're intending to maki;. I have one final question. Since there's no longer a need for locks, stealing is condoned, and no longer a need for security, even when they catch someone it doesn't matter, can't we save money in these areas to put towards a new gym . Name Withheld Upon Request SG Used Bookstore Should Open Sooner To the Editor: As the semester is rapidly maturing, stqdents should be getting adjusted to their new classes. Since we are already in the second week of the spring semester, I hope that this adjustment is almost complete. I, however, am finding it hard to adjust with my classes. As a paying Wilkes College student, I am just managing to pay my tuition bills on time which leaves me very little spending money while at school. Much of this money is either saved by buying books for classes at reduced prices through the used bookstore or selling my books at the same worthwhile needed establishment. Many students, like myself, missed out very much in this 1980 spring semester because the used bookstore was opened too late with little publicity. · It does not take a genious to realize that the entire first week of school without a book is virtually impossible for the average student. I think the oversight on the person(s l responsible for the late opening of the used bookstore is a very critical one and should not go unnoticed. The purpose of this letter is not to belittle any individual but to give constructive criticism. It might benefit the entire student population if the used bookstore in the future would be open during the first days into the new semester and even if possible, to open it a couple of days prior to the start of the semester. The used bookstore is a tremendous asset that should not be neglected.

Dr. Martin Luther King was a man who selflessly devoted his time, resources, energy and love to advancing the cause of Peace and Brotherhood. I would like to congratulate and thank Bethel A.M.E. Church, The Courtdale United Methodist Church and The Church of Christ Unitign for sponsoring this service. Though an assassin's bullet silenced his voice, it is the moral duty of every man and woman to perpetuate his dream. Dr. King sought to "help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understandign and brotherhood.'' He realized that race relations were, and ~ill are, the greatest bit of unfinished business facing this nation. He believed that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'' There are far to many idiots in this world. And having made that statement, I have the unhappy burden of proving it. When I turn on my radio, when I hear that Americans are being held hostage In the Iranian embassy, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when I turn on my radio, when I hear that Jews have been insulted, mistreated, and persecuted, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when I turn on my radio, when I hear that Blacks have been lynched in America, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when, finally, I turn on my radio and hea,that in Africa forced labor has been lnaugerated and legalized, I say that we have certainly been lied to: Hitler is not dead. As a Black, I am particularly wary of anyone who abuses the Jews, because I know he is talking about me. An anti-Semite is inevltably anti-Black. Frantz Fanon asserts that "It Is Utopian to try to ascertain in what ways one kind of inhuman behavior differs from another kind of inhuman behavior." He asks, "Is there any truth any difference between one racism and another?" Unfortunately, we have done far to little towards fulfilling Dr. King's dream. As students and young people, we represent the single gr ~atest energy source this country has ever had. We can no longer passively accept the injustice. which has gone before us. I say to all my black, white, brown and yellow brothers that we have all got to work together to make a better · world for us and our children to live In. For it is only by working together that we can ever hope to achieve a relation of true equal integration Keep the faith Respectfully yours, David A.

If the answer to this question is anything other than yes, you're taking a mighty big chance. Accidents can happen to anyone and at anytime as evidenced by the recent mishap suffered by our Student Government president. Usually, most students are at least partially covered by policies held by their parents. In this case, it is advisable for the student to know certain facts such as ; the name of the insurance company, the policy number and the extent of coverage. Some hospitals require this information before they can treat a patient even in an emergency situation so, it is best to have this information in wallet for quick reference. The students who shoul!I, be con, cerned about this subject are those about to graduate, especially if their plans include moving away from home after schoo. In this case, it is not always possible to stay covered by the parents policy. This is where Blue Cross and Blue Shield can step in and help. These programs were established in order to help people meet-the expenses of hospital and doctor care. A brief description of the benefits offered by the Blue Cross-Blue Shield programs are as follows. Under the Blue Cross hospitalization plan, 60 days of hospital care per contract year is offered with the subscriber paying the hospital only $5 a day. This includes semi-private accomodations with room, meals, general nursing care, Intensive Care Unit and many others. All medically necessary hospital services are covered in full when provided in member hospitals. Other areas of coverage in the Blue Cross plan include: oral surgery, transplants, Red Cross blood charges, outpatient accident care, home health care and alcoholism rehabilitation. There are many benefits in the Blue Shield Medical-Surgical plan. In non-surgical cases such as pneumonia, diabetes, etc., Blue Shield pays for doctor's care according to the schedule of up to $30' for the first day and up to $10 each Movie Review '' Electric Horseman The Electric Horseman is a cheerful comedy bringing to light warm, romantic, and old-fashioned values on the screen. This is Robert Redford's first film since All The President's Men and definitely reveals another facet to his career. Redford is the fivetimes world champion rodeo cowboy, Sonny Steele, who has been put out to pasture selling "Ranch Breakfast Cereal" by parading around in a cowboy suit that lights up like a Christmas tree. Sonny gets disgusted at the time of a corporate convention in Las Vegas where he spots his costar - a prize stallion in a flashing saddle surrounded by chorus girls, tranquilized to remain docile along with being pumped full of steroids. He identifies with the horse and does his part by riding him across Caesar's Place stage, off the ramp and down the neon strip, thus kidnapping the corporations $12-million symbol. Enter Jan Fonda as a highpowered New York TV journalist. ,, who pursues Redford looking for a scoop. Facing arrest for aiding the felon, Fonda has no other choice but to take off with the horse-napper as he plans to nurse the stallion back to health and then set him free in the Utah mountains. They are pursued by cops, motorcycles, helicopters, as they take off in horse campers, on horseback and finally on foot hating each other every step of the way. Praise floods in for Sonny's nobility, honor and courage. The mismatched fugitives hike across the plains of the American Wesi leading the stallion to freedom and falling in love. Country music star Willie Nelson makes an interesting acting debut as Sonny's manager and sings most of the film's soundtrack as well. More of the footage that was devoted to the scenic American West should have been devoted to him and Valerie Perrine who played Sonny's wife. The Electric Horseman is indeed a not to be missed film .

The amounts paid out depend on the amount of time, skill and effort expended by the doctor. Various amounts are paid out for surgical cases depending on the surgery being performed. In the event that surgery is required to treat fractures or dislocations due to an injury the total amount paid for each admission will not exceed $360. Blue Shield also offers a plan where doctors will accept Blue Shield's payment as Payment-InFull for covered services when your total amount income is $4,000 or less. In both Blue Cross and Blue Shield programs there are many restrictions and conditions that must be met in order to receive benefits.

Anybody do anything interesting for those three weeks past? The general consenus that the spirit got was that everyone worked their butts off to pay for those outrageous books for those stupendous classes. Well, just remember as Mom says, " The money is going to build up your brain. What there is of it. " Has everyone settled into their new schedules yet? Don't tell me that you're still trying to get into those closed classes? Did everyone finally figure out that thsoe accelerated B.A. classes don't start for a few weeks yet? I guess so. There 's not as many confused faces around. By the way, what's wrong with sixty people in a bowling class?? ? Remember now, we're all going to really work at it this semester.

J "How about a game of rolf ball?" is probably the firs t question you will be asked as you enter the Debate Union Room on the third floor of Kirby Hall . Rolf ball includes a felt material resemblance of a dart board and three ping-pong type balls which stick to the felt. That is, if you hit the board. Unfortunately, even with a large handicap, it is about as difficult to beat any of the members at a game of rolf ball as it is to win a debate against them . "It's a lot of fun, but at the same time there is a lot of work," states Dr. Bradford Kinney, Director of Forensics and team coach. " In debate a student learns skills which can help him or her in almost any field . In fact, one former member of the team is in law school, two are doctors and four mor~ are in medical school." Presently the team includes Business Administration, Accounting, Phychology, English, Biology and Communications Studies majors. President of the debate team and four year team veteran, Davida Roberts, cannot find one negative aspect about being a debater. "It has changed my perspective so much," she explains. "You are able to accept more, you learn how to deal with people, and you learn to budget your time effectively." The FORENSIC UNIT - ShPNn are the 1979-80 debate Bradford L.

When the team goes on trips to attend tournaments, the budget allows for $15 per day per person including meals, lodging and transportation. "This isn't easy to stretch, " says Dr. Kinney. Moreover, the students receive no financial assistance or scholarships for being on the team. "Anyone who would stay up all hours of the night has to really love wha:t they're doing. And believe me, the kids have SpP.nt many all-nighters in this room working," says Dr. Kinney. He adds that the only real problem they have is funds. "The team brings publicity to the school. After five and one-half years of building the squad, this year we have received more invitations to tournaments than we could ever attend. The first year I was here, we only received four invitations," states Dr. Kinney. Last semester the team traveled over 2,000 miles, received 14 trophies and entered the Philip Morris Marketing and Communications Competition. This semester the team will enter the National Discussion Contest. the National Individual Events Competition, and travel to between 10 and 12 high schools to perform demonstration debates and speeches, besides entering the usual amount of tournaments. "The next few tournaments should bring our trophies to over 300," states Dr. Kinney confidently . After entering the debate room, and losing a game of rolf ball to the experienced debators, the next request made of you will probably be "Let's debate! " Be prepared to lose again. Patti Sparlow R eaccreditation (Continued from Page I) cepted principles described in the Audit Guide for Colleges and Universities.'' The team discovered that the college is already planning to cope with future financial pressures such as " ... shifting enrollment trends, inflation, and competition from other institutions." Ackerman concluded the topic by saying, "The team is most impressed by a spirit of community and harmony between the financial management priorities and the institution's educational mission." When asked to comment on the report, Dr., Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs said, "We feel it is an exc~llent report. There is nothing in the report we had to refute or disagree with." Hartdagen added that the college must now start looking into how they will address the evaluation team's recommendations to aid the future improvement of the institution.

Louis Czachor Students planning to take any ad- Mr. John Meyers GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS Graduate assistantships are available on a limited basis for students in most departments with graduate programs. The only department using graduate assistants this year is the Commerce and Finance department, which is also the department with the largest number of graduate students. The assistantships include a $2500 stipend and complete tuition for one year including the summer. John Meyers, Director of the Division of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies, explained jobs for the assistants include running labs, proctoring tests or correcting papers, depending on the individual department. Students interested in a graduate assistantship should discuss it with their department chairperson and then make a written application to John Meyers in the Graduate Office by February 15. After reviewing applications, John Meyers and the deans will decide which students will be selected as assistants. GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS The graduate division offers degrees in several areas and as Meyers put it, "MBA (Master of Business Administration ) is the hottest department,.'' Meyers explained that courses in the MBA program are offered at night making it possible to admit many working people who found out that they needed the degree to advance in their business. In addition to the MBA, Master of Science - degrees are offered in Mathematics and Physics, and Master of Science in Education degrees are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Education, English, History, Mathematics, Physics, Elementary Education and Special Education. The programs are approved by the Pennsylvania State Department of Education. A Reading Specialist program is New Location Of Theater Office; Kirby Hall 107 Chosen As Site Don't be surprised if you enter the Center for the Performing Arts later this semester and find that Dorothy Carrol is not in her familiar office. The theater department has made plans to set up their base of operations in Kirby 107 sometime later in the semester. The decision to set up the theater department in Kirby came about as a result of several factors. First, two of the theater arts instructors, Jay Siegfried and Dr. Leonard Powlick, have their offices on the second floor of Kirby. Also, Dr. Thomas Kaska, Chairman of the Language and Literature Department (which now incorporates the theater department) is located in Kirby Hall. Thus, the department feels that having the office located in room 107 will made it easier for Ms. Carrol to coordinate the efforts of the faculty and staff of the theater . department. Secondly, the move will leave Dorothy Carrol's old office to be filled by a new person. Tentatively this person will be responsible for keeping the CPA in top physical condition. He will be responsible for seeing to it that all systems and equipment in the facility are ready for use at all times. As of the present his duties are scheduled to include building maintenance and CO"r- Computer Club Sponsors Trip ToNewYork Winter Weekend The Computer Club is sponsoring a trip to the IBM facility in New York on Tuesday, January 29. Although members of the computer club are being given first preference in obtaining bus seats, a limited number of seats are available and these are open to the college in general. Cost of the trip is between $2.00 and $3.00. Reservations can be made immediately , in the MathComputer Science office, SLC 416. The bus will leave at 8:00 a.m. At IBM, there will be a tour of the facilities, lectures and demonstrations of the newest equipment including computers and robots. The bus will stop for lunch and should return to the college by 4: 00 p.m. Computer Club president Gregg Cook noted that previous groups that have taken the tour have enjoyed it. Louis Czachor Continued from Page I dinating the crews to run the special events and lectures, scheduled by Alfred S. Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs. The college recently began the search for this new person for the CPA. Therefore, the theater department will not set up the new office in Kirby until the position is filled. However, everything is ready to set up the office at any time. There is also a tentative plan to utilize part of Kirby 107 as a theater arts classroom. Instructor Klaus Holm and Dorothy Carrol believe this is a very reasonable idea as there is a lack of classrooms for the t'1eater arts classes. Dr. Kaska statesthatthereareseveraloptions open for the best utilization of the new offtce space by the theater department. All of these options are being considered. Those concerned with the move agree that it is strategic and sensible. i S~;!f:~gT~:~~!°:i~~::e~:::n~ events. He also pointed out that whatever is contributed by the teams will be matched by SG. Dave Blumfieds also reported that the stereo should be installed in the Student Center by the end of the semester. President Capin commented that during the winter months when students are busy with schoolwork and other things, there is a tendency to become discouraged, but students should look forward to the springtime. Capin noted that he is "pleased to talk about our athletic teams" and that the best thing we can do is to be there for their games and meets. He continued by saying that the wrestling and basketball teams have done extremely good this year. He asked for support for all of the teams: wrestling, basketball, swimming, and ice hockey. John Reese introduced the wrestling team and Ron Righter introduced the men's basketball team. Righter commented that the "game against King's is most crucial." He explained "It's a very very important game and up to this point it has been a very very good year." Blumfield suggested that the students act like ladies and gentlemen at all sporting events. He also asked that when students cheer that they cheer in unity. Dean Ralston commented that "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game that counts," and then he finished the assembly by leading the students in the famous Ralston Cheer.

In a 87-77 loss to a great Franklin & Marshall team, the ladies were led by junior sensation Diane Kendig who pumped in 39 points. Kendig continues to lead the nation in scoring and is a bonafide AllAmerican candidate. Karen Kay led the F&M attach with 19 points while team-mate Sue Bowen netted 15 tallies. Aiding the Wilkes cause was a pair of former Meyers High School standouts Mary Jo Frail and Mary Jean Farrell. Frail hit for ten while Farrell scored 12 points in a losing effort. The girls traveled to Reading to meet an always tough Albright College team and returned home with a 66-63 win. Wilkes fought .;ff a 29-17 halftime deficit and behind Kendig's 23 points took a 52-51 lead with just five minutes remaining to play and held on for the win.

The action, which will take effect in the 1981-82 season, greatly distressed the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which was meeting concurrently in Washington. The AIAW, which has governed women's sports since its creation in 1971, said it was considering legal action against the NCAA. AIAW delegates accused the NCAA of plotting a takeover of women's athletics, a fear that was hardly dispelled by NCAA secretary James Frank who said, " I don't think there's any question it would be favorable for an individual institution to have a single organization governing men's and women's · athletics to deal with." THE BEACON agrees with him . It makes little sense for collegiate sports to operate under often conflicting sets of rules for men and women - or, for that matter, to hold separate conventions. It may even be that Frank's organization, which is older and richer than the AIA W, is the logical one to do the unifying. But any claim the NCAA might have to leadership in female athletics is considerably diminished by the fact that it has been notably unsympathetic to women's sports, consistently resisting efforts to apply Title IX ( the law outstanding sex discrimination in federally assisted schools) to athletes. Having lost that battle, however, the NCAA now indicates that it sees the handwriting on the wall. One can only hope that Frank faithfuly reflects revised NCAA thinking when he says that in the light of Title IX, women should "participate fully in intercollegiate sports." All that aside, there is something troubling about the fact that the NCAA move in women's sports occurs at a time of growing concern about its administration of MEN'S sports. Continued revelations of recruiting abuses, the spreading academic-transcript scandal and the shocking influence exercised by booster clubs lend urgency to the old question of whether institutions of higher learning belong to the business of big-time entertainment, which college sports have long become. Colleges and universities must decide who shall govern them and their sports. 6:00-Crazy Horse vs. CHAOS Bedford vs. Buckateers 7:00-Wyo.

In the last issue of Amateur Wrestling News our Colonels were considered the 19th best team Nationwide. But the most re- " I don't understand it. We wrestled very well and won convincingly in our last four meets. The signficant wins over Syracuse (33-14 ) and Tennessee (25-14) should have kept us in the rankings," noted Coach John Reese. " Evidently they (Amateur Wrestling and National BART COOK IN ACTION cent release has North Carolina in our position and undeserving Tern-pie University in the number 20 spot. Mat News ) thought our sixth placefinish in the 'Wilkes Open' wasn't good enough," added the 27 year mentor. Iowa, as usual, was ranked at the top with Eastern rival Lehigh University receiving a welldeserved second in the January 14th poll. Cal Poly was in the third spot, while Iowa St., Oklahoma St., Wisconsin, Arizona St., Oklahoma, Minnesota and Kentucky rounded off the "Top 10." Penn St. University, who the Colonels will face on February 5 was rated 11th and followed by Clarion St. (Wilkes Open Champs), Oregon, Bloomsburg, Auburn, LSU, Colorado, Oregon St. , N.C. and Temple respectively. The Blue and Gold only wrestled one match last week and took a 36-6 victory over Rutgers University at New Brunswick. The triumph raised the Colonels to 8-2 overall and extended John Reese's career coaching record to 275-00-8. The " Pope" of Wilkes College athletics has guided the small Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) school into battle with the "Big Guys." The mentor has led Wilkes teams to three undefeated seasons, 14 MAC Championships, and a runner-up finish in last year's EIWA tournament. Reese will be out to defeat his Alma Mater when Wilkes hosts Penn St. U. In Saturday's tilt Eddie Johnson, a junior from Chelmsford, Mass., got the ball rolling for Wilkes, with 'a 9-1 decision at 118 to even his record to 3-3-1. !\~ark Popple, Wilkes-Barre also hit the .500 mark will then lead his matmen to S.U.N.Y . at Binghamton in an attempt to raise their dual series slate to 10-0. The Colonels hammered the Colonials 30-10 last year. Looking ahead the Wilkesmen take the road for a triangular meet with Connecticut and Southern Connecticut February 2, before returning home with PENN STATE February 5. Dan Miner, a junior from Chambersburg, wrestled the Rutger's team's best grappler in Doug Oliver and lost a 10-4 decision. Oliver remained unbeaten while Miner fell to 5-3-2. Junior Rick Smith, Walden, Vt. , won a forfeit to lift his record to 7-11 at 190 and Bob Matzelle, a senior from Lindenhurst, wrestled to a 9-4 victory to stretch his record to 7-1. Bob Gaetano C oloneffiSWIMTEAM LOSES ANOTHER MODEL ATHLETE:. BRYANBILLIG Bryan Billig, Wilkes College's tough 134-pound wrestler is one fo those " model athletes" who sets his goals high and attains them through hard work and dedication. He's not a so-called " natural", although Colonel wrestling fans think winning comes easy for the junior from New Tripoli, Pennsylvania . Bryan does make it Look easy, but he developed that ability and confidence with arduous practices and drilling. " I just give 100 percen t in practices and in a match and always hope to learn something new everyday" commented Billig. Bryan also notes he is improving constantly and credits 27-year coach John G. Reese and his work-out partners. Billig was a top college recruit and many have broken the line-up at many " good wrestling schools", but it didn't just happen. His credentials at Northwest Lehigh High School included a District and Regional championship and three letters in track. That looks attractive to a college scout. However, many district and regional champs choose to go -to a " good wrestling school " with NCAA Division I caliber and get lost in the crowd. But Billig survived that stiff competition and hsa been wearing the varsity stripes since the first meet of his freshman year. O.J. Costello, of the Wilkes-Barre recreation board and well-known mat authority said " Bryan was going to c it". Whatever " it was, Billig has probably done it. Unless " It" was an NCAA placefinish and Bryan could be the third wrestler in Wilkes history to turn that trick. John Carr 067) and Joe Weindl (160 ) won third and fifth places respectively in 1969. In his first big college dual, Billig decked Lehigh's EIWA runner-up Steve Bastianelli in an atmosphere of pressure at Grace Hall. It was obvious that Billig would be successful in the years to come based on that performance . He went on to post a 20-10 overall slate that year and 14-6 in duals. He also placed sixth in the EIW A event. Bryan improved on that finish in last year's tourney, garnering the runnerup trophy when he lost a heartbreaker to East Stroudburg's Greg Shoemaker in overtime. In a dual meet last winter Billig defeated NCAA Division I Champ Kenny Mallory of Montclair St. It was the highlight of Billig's sophomore season and the highlight for many Wilkes fans also . He did everything but throw Mallory out of the gym that night and won by a disqualification. In his most recent performances Bryan won first place in the Wilkes Open and also copped the Outstanding honors. Bryan raised his record to 82 after the Rutgers match and his career keeps improving everyday. Bryan didn't win a State Championship in high school, but Colonel opponents better beware, because his sights are set at the Nationals. Bob Gaetano 2-0, but Surage escaped and registered a takedown for a 3-2 advantage. Cherrie then escaped to tie the score at three, but Surage gained control with the final takedown to win. Co-captains Mark Densberger, Danville and Bart Cook, Neptune, N.J ., carry 8-1 and 5-1 records respectively. Densberger triumphed 14-2 against his Rutgers adversary, while Cook didn't wrestle. Cook was ill and rested for the meet, but is expected back this week. Pete Creamer, a freshman from Bellmore, N.Y., won 13-6 in the 177 bout to up his slate to 4-2. The Blue and Gold forces will play host to Lycoming College Saturday evening at 8 p.m. at our Gymnasium. Wilkes handed the Warriors a 27-12 setback at Williamsport last winter and our MARK DENSBERGER at 3-3 with a forfe it at 126. Colonels tough 134 pounder Bryan Billig trouned Lou Trygar 7-4 in the to raise his record to equal the team's slate at 8-2. Billig's opponent wrestled defensively to prevent the pin and scored his only four points near the end of the match . Many matmen who wrestle Bryan know his capabilities and try to stay away from him . In the 142 pound match-up yearling Lenny Nelson, Richland, N.J ., came through with an impressive 16-6 victory to raise his record to 31. Nelson filled in f9r Steve DeGiso three weeks ago and has looked awesome. He's a little too small for 142, but when Billig drop~ to 126, Nelson might get the opportunity to compete in the lighter class. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood, saw his record go to 1-11, losing a 5-3 verdict to highlyregarded Tony Surage in the 150 fray . Cherrie was upset-minded entering the final minutes as he led The Wilkes College swim team lost to Swarthmore College last Saturday by a score of 59-45 in Swarthmore.· The team's record now stands at 1-2 with a meet against Lycoming College in Williamsport yesterday. With the absence of 3 swimmers Wilkes lost its flexibility in placing its swimmers strategically in the 12 events. Also four races that Swarthmore won should have been victories for Wilkes which would have put the win in the Colonels's hands. Despite the loss Peggy Butchkavitz and Reed Bello, both freshmen, had outstanding days. Butchkavitz swam the butterfly leg in the winning 400 medly relay, took first place in the 200 fly , second in the 200 breaststroke, and third in the 200 individual medly. Swimming in events that she usually does not, Butchkavitz proved herself to be a tough competitor. Again Reed Bello took two first places in the required and optional diving events. Bello, an excellent c.tiver, follows in the steps of Paul Niedzwiecki and Cindy Glawe both top divers for Wilkes and MAC medalists in years gone by. Butchkavitz and Hello's combined efforts equaled 19 out of the 45 points Wilkes scored overall . Not bad at all. In the four freestyle events ; the 50, 100, 200, and 500 ; Wilkes should have won each of these but did not. Tri-captain Jim Edwards was touched out in the 100 and 200 freestyle by a matter of inches set- tling for two second-place finishes . Freshman Dave Gergen had an off day and placed third in the 50 and 500 freestyle events. Swarthmore's winning times in those events could have been beaten by Gergen if he were swimming up to par. At one point Wilkes was winning the meet by a score of 27-25 after the sixth event but then fell behind never to regain the lead. In other events Enrico Ratti placed third in the 200 freestyle race and Frank Gardner grabbed a second place in the required diving event. John Moffatt went from third place to second in the 200 backstroke by beating out Swarthmore swimmer in the last lap of the race. Perry Lichtinger, who rejoined the team after wrestling last semester finished second behind Bello in the optional diving event. Other swimmers who went to Swarthmore for the meet were Rob Doty who swam breaststroke leg in the 400 medly relay, Pat Slowey, Alan Shaw, and Meggan Caverly. The next meet is this Saturday against Western Maryland at home in the King's College pool. ADDED EXTRAS ... The traffic on the road was bumper to bumper ... John Moffatt and Meggan Caverly got romantic on the way home under a perfect _setting. Eight Moons shined over route No. 76 that night ... Jim Edwards �For a while, at least, the " right-er way" has been derailed. The Wilkes men's basketball team, heading into a five-straight Middle Atlantic Conference-game part of the schedule (four on the road) have failed in the first two at press time. After picking up a non-conference win over Moravian last Monday, the Colonels suffered road losses to Albright 74-67 in Reading and last Saturday were defeated 78-66 by the "high-flying" Royals of Scranton University. On Monday, the Blue and Gold were expected to travel to Elizabethtown for another league show-down before returning home yesterday to meet traditional rival King's. This Saturday the Blue and Gold travel to Delaware Valley for still another MAC game in Doylestown ( the hometown of Wilkes' coaches Rigtu.er and Justice). Next Monday, Wilkes will host Division II power Philadelphia Textile before traveling to Susquehanna on the 30th. Going into Monday's game with E-town, Wilkes was 7-5 overall but 3-3 in the MAC. Scranton, with an overall losing record, is atop the MAC with a 4-1 slate with King's second at 2-2. Monday and yesterday's games might not have been only crucial, but critical with the way Scranton is playing. Against Moravian in Bethlehem the Colonels came away with a 76-69 win. -Leading the way was senior captain Kendall McNeil with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Also netting double figures for Wilkes were Mike McCarrie with 14 and Kevin Walker with ten. Wilkes had its best shooting day as a team against the Greyhounds ripping the nets at a .72 per cent clip (31 for 42) . But, as always Wilkes was not so awesome on the free-throw line hitting only 14 of 24. Anyway it was a win, and wel'll take it. Then on Wednesday, the Blue and Gold traveled to Reading and meet his holiness Will Renken and the Albright College Lions. Renken, who will find some way to get his team in the MAC playoffs this year, handed Wilkes a 74-67 loss. Wilkes was led offensively by junior guard Mike McCarrie's 26 points on 13 field goals. Also hitting twin figures were McNeil with 12 and Kevin Walker and Tony Madden with 11 apiece. Madden pulled down 13 boards in the game while Walker added eight rebounds. Ron Morel led the team with eight assists. Wilkes was 28 of 64 from the field against Albright, who Ron righter says could go undefeated the rest of the..yay. The game with Scranton was supposed to be on TV, but wasn't. Because Wilkes-Barre couldn't pick up the signal, the game was not telecast. That's a big mistake with all the advertising and everything. Somebody goofed and somebody will have to pay for that. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that no one will see the early part of the second half. At least Righter does not want to see it. Wilkes led throughout the first half at " Duh U" and held a fivepoint margin at the half. Then in the second period, the Royals outscored Wilkes in the first seven minutes 18-2. And that was all she wrote. Irv "I in the Sky" Johnson had his greatest game of his AllAmerican career Saturday scoring 27 points and pulling down 20 rebounds while completely controlling teh tempo of the game. Johnson's a great player and there's no doubt about that. But the guy's a hot-dog! He lets you believe that he's Mr. Cool and nothing bothers him, but what happened when Tony Madden committed his Walker was the only other Colonel in double figures with 13 tallies. Leading scorer Kendall McNeil was held to just four points, while fighting a bout with the flu . McCue's seven assists lead the team. TIP-INS: ... highest point-total by a Colonel this year is 26 points . done by McCarrie three times ... Artie Meigh, the Blue and Gold's leading field-goal shooter, is off the Security! It's always needed by everybody everywhere. And we think it's need most at the Wilkes Gym. In a recent men's basketball game a~ainst Kean College, a near-riot broke out but was luckily contamed by the two officials on hand. We think some type of security is needed for athletic events and concerts at the gym. At Kin~'s, they have a system whereby students are assigned as security to handle any wrong doings. We could easily accomplish this by hiring some football players to act as security. · 5th foul hitting Johnson late in game on a lay-up by Irv. Johnson threw the ball at Madden when he had his back turned. And he can't dribble for anything.

Eddie White III THEY HEARD US! Last week we mentioned how local media overlooks the area's colleges when it comes to sports coverage. In the last few days we have received various reaction from the article and most has been from people who agreed with us. Although there are many aspects of the local media which does not give college :;ports the ink it needs, we must recognize those elements of the media which does. WBRE. led by veteran sportscaster Joe Gries, has made a great step in the last year and a half to help give college sports a boost in the area. WBRE has founded the Metro Intercollegiate Conference (MIC) involving King's, Wilkes and Scranton University. Last year, Scranton won the team trophy with more victories over the other two schools in selected sports. King's finished second and the Colonels placed third. But, no matter who wins the team trophy, here is WBRE helping college sports. Included in their added coverage of different sports, WBRE has televised local college basketball games the last few years. This has been tremendous for the local schools. People who have never seen Wilkes basketball before. now know who they are by watching the Wilkes- King's games the last two seasons. From an undisclosed source, one of the area's media outlets which was invited to the Colonel Classic media conference. said "it wasn't called." The outlet was, however, invited through the mail and was in fact called the afternoon of the conference as a reminder. Maybe our little mention last week his caused a stir among the media . The Wilkes basketball program, which seems to have failed off the "right" track for at least three games, suffered a severe blow last week with the announcement that leading field goal shooter Artie Meigh, a senior from Richmond Hill, N. Y., was academically ineligible for the rest of the year. It's a tough loss for the team, for Artie and for the school. The team loses a great shooter, or "zone buster" as Ron Righter calls him, Artie loses a chance ·a t getting a degree at Wilkes and the school loses the hope o getting Wilkes on the map through basketball - at least for now. But, the Meigh situation reminds us of what we are here for - an education. And school is first and athletics come second. But still, most schools are staying alive because of the success of their sports. Scranton University's national championship in basketball did more for enrollment than any advertising could do. It's a fact that a lot of officials refuse to recognize, bu athletics is a vital part to a coJlege or university surviving. At Wilkes, we have to win - win big, so we can bring in students. It's like tha everywhere folks! Top Assist Man Pat McCae The Wilkes College Mixed League opened its spring 1980 season last Friday with fourteen teams and a new three division set-up. Only two teams were able to sweep a series though; Bud's Compressor & Supply nailed Good News with Doug Williams (217-606) leading the way and Paul Kanner's 189-472 led the Avengers over the EE's 3-0. The first semester champs Poky's - were among those beginning the campaign with two wins. Also in that category were the Aristocrats (Jim Moran 197-505), Assorted Nuts (Lisa Hughes 181473) , the Veterans Club I (Jim Caulson 212-569) and the Whippets. ONE all of last season ... Madden leads in rebounding with 82 followed by Walker's 75 ... McCarrie is the Colonels' top MAC scorer with an 2-1 2-1 1-2 1-r Midwest Division Assorted Nuts 2-1 Aristocrats 2-1 The Pack 1-2 Good News 0-3 Pacific Division Avengers 3-0 Whippets 2-1 BS'ers 1-2 Veterans Club II 1-2 EE's 0-3 Pin Patter: This semester the play-offs will feature the three division winners plus one wild-card team. We could still accomodate a few more bowlets, if interested call David Williams at 823-2406. We have taken in some local high school games in the area and believe that Jim Beddall of Seton Catholic and Coughlin's John Quinn desesrve the "Coach of teh Year" awards, Both are great basketball men who have taken their teams to great heights this season. Quinn is one of the " Big Four" in sports at Coughlin along with great coaches Joe Moran, Bob Corba and Bana Balum. Hope you caught the DePaul basketball game this past Sunday. it shows that you don't need multi-million dollar gymnasiums to win in athletics. Here _is the number one team in the nation in Division I basketball and they play 1n a band-box, Ray Meyer says, "it might not be the nicest looking place, but it's home." And that is what the Wilkes Gym is. Call it what you will, " the little house on the prairie, " " the chamber of horrors. " or whatever, but it's home. Recently an idiot sports-caster referred to our gym on the air as a "dark, dank, damp" place. But, the .greatest quote we've beard came from the grand wizard himself, big Ed Donohue of King's College who said, "the Wilkes Gym is dark,.it's so dark it's a nice place to take a date." You gotta love big Ed. · Finally this week, we would like to make special mention and send out best wishes to Wilkes athletic director and wrestling coach John Reese, who knotched his 275th career win over the weekend. That's 275 wins in 27 years of coaching. Reese is a bonafide hall-of-fa mer and a legend. Congrats coach! • �the ◊beacon Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (lj ... = . en a.

The new Wilkes alumni director was chosen _following a two-month search conducted by a committee composed of six alumni. Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, dean of external affairs at Wilkes, notes that there were nearly 50 applicants for the position. In announcing Roberts' appointment, President Capin paid special tribute to Dr. Rees, who spent nearly eight years at the College as an Education Department faculty member and as an administrator. President Capin said : "Dr. Rees did an outstanding job in revitalizing several areas of alumni relations at Wilkes. We wish him luck in his new position which will involve planning and implementing programs in management training, leadership training, communication skills, and human relations techniques for all professional personnel at the hospital. " As director of alumni relations at Wilkes, Roberts, a Plains native and a 1960 graduate of the College, will be responsible for maintaining contact and programming with 13,500 alumni.

Then, at a special meeting before Christmas, . SG decided on The Kinks. After the meeting, they found out that could not get either Atlanta Rhythm Section or The Kinks. As a result SG Vice-President Marla Brodsky conta~ted each representative to recruit support for a proposal that would allow SG 's concert committee to use the money which had been designated for the Kinks con- tione's Computer Science 124 class. A sophomore computer science major completed an exam for a senior accounting major. The Dean's Council reached a decision of guilty and recommended the students be suspended for the Spring semester cert to be spent on another concert. Concert promoter Richard Cohen then proposed a concert with Steve Forber. Tickets will sell for approximately $6.50. SG president Dave Blumfield pointed out that the concert will benefit the entire school population. He added that Forber is being promoted as a " new Bob Dylan", and has been selling out concerts everywhere. Also, Blumfield noted that Forber has had "Amazing" reviews in the New York Times. He also has a top 40 hit "Romeo's Tune" and an album that is doing very well.

The students appealed their case to the Judicial Council on the basis of the severity of the punishment. The Judicial Council upheld the decision of the Dean's Council, and the students will not be allowed to return to the college until Summer 1980, stated Dr. Robert Freysinger, faculty member of the Council and spokesman. In the second case, a junior history major was involved in a break-in at Kocyan Hall during the month of December. The Dean's Council found the student guilty and decided that the student should be suspended for the Spring semester of 1980. The student appealed the case to the Judicial Council. The council felt the punishment was too severe, stated Dr. Freysinger. The punishment was reduced by the Council, and the student will be placed on permanent social probation. Dr. Freysinger explained that this means if the student performs any transgression against the college, expulsion of the student is recommended. Any decision made by the Council not leading to dismissal is final , however, president Robert Capin has final appellate jurisdiction in cases of student dismissal. All cases are decided by a majority vote of those members present, stated Dr. Freysinger. Members of the 1979-1980 Judicial Council are Dr. Robert Freysinger and Dr. Robert Riley, faculty ; Paul Adams and Jane Lampe, Dean's Council; Peggy Mascelli '81, George Kavulich '80, and Joe Gray '80, students ; and Debra Prater '81, clerk.

He continued by saying that it is advantageous for students to have recorded on their transcripts that they minored in a particular subject. . "It will help our programs here at the college," stated Hartdagen, and he explained that there are areas where it will be advantageous to have a minor and that there are areas where a minor could be offered, but no major. As a result there will be "increased flexibility in programming." A complete list of approved minors and their requirements should be ready in time for fall • registration. Louis Czachor = I ~~ --I au....,,. PU~ ~~:;,ITH1 t Hartdagen noted that the idea for the proposal originated after he first came here last summer and looked over the college bulletin. " One of the things that struck me," he said, "was the absence of minors at Wilkes." He added that he had never worked at any school of higher learning that did not offer minors. Hartdagen talked to President Capin and several students and educators, but nobody seemed to know a good reason why there were no minors. Hartdagen explained that the faculty seemed overwhelmingly in favor of starting minors and at this point, all departments are aware that if they wish to start a minor in their discipline that they must submit a proposal to the curriculum committee by February. Hartdagen added that several departments (although he is not sure which ones ) are already planning to start minors. Most will require 18 credits; that is two courses at the 100 level and four higher level courses. Departments offering four-credit courses may require as many as 24 credits for a minor. Some departments may specify which courses will be required. After the curriculum committee approves a proposal of a minor for a subject the proposal will be voted on by the faculty, and if passed. will be in effect next fall.

Inactive and ineffective for the seven years, the recent use of the appelate court proved itself the answer to the situation in both cases. Fair, and honest decisions were reached after great length and discussion. Though some feel we exploited both instances to the point that this paper was muck raking personalities, this is far from the truth. One case dealt with cheating and the other with the questionable presence of an intruder in a college building late at night. Though The Beacon has traditionally stayed away from news concerning disciplinary cases, this year's staff feels that these instances reflect a side of life at the college that if ignored would mean we were not practicing journalism. We did not print the names of these students but this is not to say that future editors will make the same decision. It is our opinion.that if we are to print a newspaper- that reflects the life of Wilkes College this includes the bad with the good. · , We feel our coverage was very positive in the sense that maybe reporting these cases wilJ prevent other students from trying to pull the same acts. It also revealed to students that there are certain student rights available involving disciplinary action. The Dean's Council treats each case individually, with an effective Judicial Council set up and in operation. Hopefully, some precedence will be set and through this newspaper students will be aware of them . NOTICE LOST OR SWITCHED BLACK VELVET JACKET AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE WOODLANDS.

Peter Steve �THIS IS THE WILKES COLLEGE CONNECTION - Bill Scholl, public relations student assistant, updates the popular message-line with details concerning the latest cultural and sporting events. Do you want to know who, what, when or where something is taking place? There's an easy solution The Wilkes College Connection. One just has to pick up the phone and dial 82&-1135 and they will politely be informed as to all or the upcoming events on the Wilkes Campus. These events include Concert and Lecture Series events, art exhibits, plays, recitals, community related activities, and the host of all sports events and results. Parents, students, alumni and interested residents use the 24-hour service. A five minute recorded message gives everyone up-to-date information concerning the time and location of a particular activity. This is the third year of operation for the service concieved by the Public Relations Department here. George Pawlush, director of public relations explains, "The response from our friends in the community has been outstanding. The 'Connection' has been an invaluable tool for keeping the public informed about r the countless and diverse activities on campus which are available to the community free of charge." Since January 1977, the messageline has received approximately 30,000 calls. The office can monitor the number of calls through a counter attached to the Code-APhone 200 answering machine. The counter was devised by the Engineering Department. There are peak periods and during the .Eastern lntercolligiate Wrestling Tournament, the 'Connection' received over 500 calls over the 36-hour period rendering the message-line idle for a day because of a burnt out part. The message-line has also been used in emergency situations when there has been a need to cancel classes because of inclement weather. So if you're not too sure about the details of a particular event, just pick up tbe phone and dial. You won't be sorry for finding out exactly who, what, when or where something is happening. Cindy Ercolani 'Kram:;~;v:ex-r_a_m--e-r-~--1 r:,ac:Wi=:x;,IC=a=>t;;-;;;;;ni~g This is a rare and moving film about marriage, divorce, child custody and changing sex roles. Writer-director Robert Benton's Kramer vs. Kramer, adapted from the Avery Corman novel, is a superbly depicted intelligent movie about Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman ), an advertising executive who is forced to raise his six-yearold son, Billy (Justin Henry ) alone after his wife, (Meryl Streep) of eight years hands in her credit cards and leaves her husband to find herself as a working woman. Ted at this point is left at home to find himself as a human being. He is aggressive, ambitious, superficial: His days are full of events that further propel him up the ladder of success. His idea of fun is working late at the office. In the emptiness that follows his wife's departure, he tries to cope jauntily with his new found responsibility as a single parent; he bravely attempts making French toast so that his son won't percieve his mother's absence as a treat. Billy will not swallow this and in time Ted learns that requirements of parenthood: constancy, punctuality, patience, tolerance: old-fashioned virtues. By the time the father and son are living in harmony, his wife reappears and demands the son back, thus 'Kramer vs. Kramer. ' Dustin Hoffman gives the best performance of his career - fumbling with the demands of child rearing, he's funny and touching, frantic in his agitation and terrified of being found unfit. His decent from high-wire executive to father is heroic; and though one can object to the film's simple thesis that anyone who really loves a child is n-cc:=:::x ◄--===x ➔-C:::: bound to lose his business touch, ~IClklc::=::)j◄ltrC:==◄NklC=::)j◄ll►C:=:►""illC==:)o...

Misery loves company, but happiness throws parties . Always be happy . When the kettle is up to its neck in hot water . it still continues to sing. Learning is treasure no thief can touch. Men who drink too much, think too little. Better for man to first get someth ing in eye and wink, than wi nk .. . and then get something in eye. Never miss an opnortunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone to au it. A lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anythi ng. The more you work for it, the less you look for it. the quicker ha ppiness comes. Seems like a lot of us want life, libeJty and happi ness without too much pursuit. Girl who fall s for every man usually get bounced around. The foolish man seeks happiness in the di stance ; the wise man grows it under his own feet. You don't have to go out and look for happi ness. Keey busy and it will find you without any trouble. Most gi rls want to be the gleam in a man's eye and the green in a woman 's. Girls with many men on string usually get into tangle. Some folks pursue happiness : others create it. The happiest people are those too busy to notice. Some cause happiness wherever they go: others whenever they go . The carefu! foot can walk anywhere . We can study old age ... and still not finish.

Politicians may promise a chicken in every pot. but too often it's the taxpayer's goose that's cooked.

A beautiful girl is even more beautiful when she's laughing. Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset to a girl if she hasn 't any sense. The next thing to being young and pretty is being old and rich . Laws control the lesser man ... right conduct controls the greater one.

It is not something to possess. ·one of my goals as a professor is to instill this belief in my students," states Dr. John Natzke, professor of Sociology. He continues, "I feel I am growing intellectually all the time. I have learned more in my first year of teaching at Wilkes than I did in the previous eight years of learning." Dr. Natzke is certainly one person who genuinely enjoys his profession, both as a so.ciologist and as a teacher. He especially enjoys working with students. "Ninety percent of my pleasure and satisfaction comes from seeing the sparkle of students who are interested in the subject matter I am teaching." He received his B.A. in sociology and psychology from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and later earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from WesternJ\1ichigan University. The Sociology professor explains his life in terms of "contingency circumstances." "I never planned on becomin-g ·i sociologfs( I never intended to go to college. But, one event led to another and here I am at Wilkes." He explains that his sister filled out the college application for him and convinced him to attend the University of Wisconsin, where he met Hobert B. Bailey, chairman of the Sociology department, who was to become Natzke's role model for the next four years. "Robert Bailey took a genuine interest in me. He influenced the way I felt about myself and the world. He convinced me to go to Europe and do research, somethign I never thought I was capable of doing." After receiving his B.A. degree, Natzke secured a job as counselor at a private institution for delinquent boys, a job he found very demanding and depressing. After leaving the institution he went to Alaska to assume a position as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. YI found this work to be very gratifying. I had the resources to make changes and help those who needed it. I was able to see progress being made in a short Dr. John Natzke period of time." Dr. Natzke came to Wilkes in 1973 and "Immediately fell in love ·with that sociologists have much to conthe college and the valley.

On Monday the Colonels traveled to Moravian College for a non-league encounter before moving on to Reading on Wednesday for a key Middle Atlantic Conference battle with the Lions of Will Renken and Albright College. On Saturday, the .'.:>lonels will be under the bright lights of John Long Center when they go up Route 81 to meet the Royals of Scranton University for a 1:00 afternoon game which will be televised by WBRE. Fans are asked to skip the TV route and go see the game and help cheer on the Blue and Gold in another key league game. On Monday, · Wilkes will travel to Elizabethtown for still another MAC game against the Blue Jays. And then next Wednesday, Super Fight II, or III or whatever - the King's College Monarchs led by crafty veteran mentor Ed Donohue come to the South Franklin Street Pafestra for a 8:00 battle. You better go early to that game - maybe around Monday to get a seat. Art Hoover might have to lock the doors that night. Anyway, what have our Colonels been doing since you la~t saw them. Well, they participated in the second annual Kiwanis "Colonel Classic" tourney at. home and finished third, losing to one Division II power and beating another. The colonels dropped a 73-64 decision to Merrimack in the first round but came back to down Bridgeport 80-68 for third-place. The Colonels placed sophomore Pat Romich on the alltournament and there could not have been a better choice. King's took the tourney's title honors and preceded to cut down the nets - bill big Ed. The Monarchs beat Bridgeport in the opener ~ and polished off Merrimack 81-76. Dan Frascella led King's and was named as the "Most Valuable Player." Also on the alltournament team were Tom Lavelle of Merrimack, Keith Alleyne and George Aldrich of King's. Against Merrimack, Wilkes was led by Kendall McNeil with 15 points, who shot six of 18 from the field. Tony Madden chipped in 12 and Pat Romich recorded ten . Mike McCarrie had a rough night shooting hitting only four of 19 from the field as Wilkes shot horribly as a team from the field, netting only 26 of 69 for a .376 percentage while Merrimack shot .566 from the floor. Wilkes was also outrebounded by the taller team, 48-28. In the Bridgeport encounter, Wilkes showed it can come back from a tough loss and had five men in double figures. Leading the way was Artie Meigh with 15, followed by McCarrie and Pat McCue with 14 each, Romich with 12 and Madden with ten. In that victory, Mccue set a tourney record by hitting 14 of 14 free-throws and scoring all his points from the lane. The 14 fell one short of the Wilkes record held by Jim Ferris who netted 15 in the 1950's. Wilkes as a team made 30 of 35 free throws to tie a school record for most made in one game. McNeil was held to nine points in the game, while Walker scored only four. Then, this past Saturday, Wilkes played its worst half of the season in the first period against Kean College a.k.a. Bandits, Inc. The Colonels were behind most of the way, until a 14-2 spurt in the middle of the second half carried them to their sixth victory against I three losses on the year. McNeil led the way again with 20 tallies and was followed by McCarrie with 18 and Romich with ten. Walker was leading rebounder with eight, but didn't score. Romich added six steals to the cause. But the most exciting part of the game came with only a few minutes left when a rhubarb started. It . seems a bandit from Kean yelled some cuss V(Ords in the direction of Wilkes assistant coach Steve . Justice and Justice didn't like it. Words were exchanged and before you knew it, a bench-warmer for the bandits was asking Righter for a fight.

The Colonels also garnered a sixth place finish in the 47th annual Wilkes Open, amassing 34.50 points. The highlight of the tournament was the awarding of the "Outstanding Wrestler" trophy to Wilkes' very own Bryan Billig. Wilkes didn't have a winner in the " Rose Bowl" since 1974 and Billig not only copped the 134 title, but also received the most coveted award of the event. He defeated last year's runner-up and nationally ranked Steve Perdew of Slippery Rock 19-4 in the semi-finals and outscored Bucknells Tom Scotton 18-6 in ~ the quarters. He also defeated Sam Edwards, Cornell and Bruce Davidson, William & Mary en route to the trophy. Based on Billig's performances, WNEP Channel 16 TV awarded him the trophy for the "Athlete of the Week" and he was the first of 1980 to get his name etched in their books. Colonel freshman Mark Roley, - Warrington, Pa. surprised wrestling fans and garnered a fourth place in the tourney's 158 pound class. Roley didn't see any varsity action yet, but based on his performance we should see him wrestle during the second semester. In the 190 category, Blue and Gold cocaptain Bart cook had to settle for a fourth place among the tough competition. Mark Densberger was upset in the first round of action and was unable to get back into the consolation bracket since the wrestler which he lost to was beaten. Of course Clarion St. took home the team laurels fo r the seventh straight year, totalling 52.25 tallies. Bloomsburg St. finished in the runner-up spot with 47.25 and was followed by East Carolina with 44.50; Hofstra University, 36.50; and the New York Athletic Club had 35.75 to earn a fifth place. Although the Colonels ended in sixth place, · that finish is respectable since over the December issue. The Colonel's closest dual meet was at Tennessee, where the Reesemen produced a 25-14 triumph, while on the annual "Southern Swing." Our Colonels were losing 11-0 going into the 158 tilt, but , co-captain Mark Densberger g ave Wilkes the upper hand, squeezing out a 6-5 decision over his opponent. Densberger was forced to ride his opponent out for the one point which gave him the victory. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood made his initial appearance of this season and also rode his adversary in his 150 contest to tie the score at five. Junior Dan Miner, Chambersburg, ·is enjoying a fine season and coasted to a 6-0 decision at 167 to put the score in Wilkes favor, 16-11. But Cook fell to defeat at the hands of SEC place-winner Ben Hill 9-4 in the 177 pound fray . Junior Rick Smith, Walden, Vt., added six team points by winning a default at 190 and Senior Bob Matzelle, Lindenhurst, NY, posted a 15-10 decision. Wilkes also toppled Shippensburg while on its Southern trip by a wide 38-0 margin. It was the second shutout of the season for our Colonels, as they also hammered MAC team York earlier, 54-ZIP. Khris Rowlette, a yearling from Nashua, New Hampshire, got his first win at the varsity ranks, decisioning his opponent at 118. Billy Dodge, a junior from Arlington, Va., who has been sharing varsity duties with freshman Mark Popple, WilkesBarre, remained unheated at the 40 mark with a decision at 126. Billig, a junior from New Tripoli, continued his usual style with a fall at 134 and frosh Lenny Nelson, Richland, N.J., knotched his first varsity win at 142. Nelson also looked good in the Wilkes Open, dumping Bloomsburg's Nationallyranked Al McCollum. When Billig drops to the 126 class, Nelson will also drop to 134 where he will probably see varsity action. Popple will also be competing for that opening but with all that talent, Reese will probably do some juggling so everybody wrestles. Other victorious wrestlers at Shippensburg·were freshmen Mark Troutman, Toms River, N.J. and Pete Creamer, Bellmore, N.Y . at 158 and 177 respectively. Cherrie, Miner, Smith and Matzelle complete the winners list for the locals. Wilkes avenged last year's setback to East Stroudsburg with an overwhelming 38-7 victory. Another loss from last year's slate was avenged when Wilkes sent and pinned by Orangemen's John Syracuse University back to New Zito. Cook came back to hammer York with a 33-14 deficit. highly-regarded Kurt Honis 15-4 at Eddie Johnson, a junior from 177 and clinch the meet for the Chelmsford, Mass., got the Colonels Reesemen.

First consider how many were invited three TV stations, numerous radio stations and three newspapers. Only ONE media member showed up. And that was WILK's Rick Gaydos. We publicly would like to commend Gaydos for bis interest in the tourney and the press conference. Gaydos, who bas really put the WILK sports department on the map, also was at the Wilkes Open with live reports and inerviews. Now that's a sports reporter! No one else showed. No TV, radio or even newspapers. Well, there must have been something really important going on that night, you might ask. On yeah, the annual Herbert Hoover look-alike contest in Nanticoke. There was nothing scheduled sports-wise that night in the area and only one member of the media showed up. It's shows how high school-oriented this area is. They make high school sports out to be the greatest thing since Bart Starr scored against Dallas. No wonder the high school athletes in the area, who go away to "big" schools get "sky-scraper" egos 'thinking they deserve the Reisman in their freshman year. The media is responsible. And it's been like this for years and might never change. But if there are two coaches who are going to try their damnest to make people realize college sports in Wyoming Valley its King's Ed Donohue and Wilkes' Ron Righter. They have committed themselves to bring some top basketball to the area and are hoping the Wilkes-King's rivalry becomes even greater than it already is. And it's not your hated Kansas City - Oakland - type rivalry, it's a clean, do your best a great one. WBRE does King's basketball games on the air, both home and away, and they also do the Wilkes football games on the radio. We are wondering if some station is smart enough out there to pick up the Wilkes basketball, wrestling and baseball teams. The main idea behind covering the sports is to make money through advertising and advertisers only work with winners. The "restling and baseball teams have been winning since George Blanda was " kid. And Righter's basketball team has showed signs of a great team just starting out. It will take a lot_ of work, for college sports in this area to pull even with high school media. What are you going to do when some of the sports writers in the area, who have been around a "long" time, have yet to step in the Wilkes Gym. What we get a kick out of is bow these same, sports experts pick high school all-star teams, by only seeing maybe two-three games a year. Let's hope in 1980, if only one thing is accomplished, that college sports gets a fair shake from the local media. On to a brighter subject. Over the holidays, two teams showed they are the class of the country in their respective sports - DePaul in college basketball and Alabama in football. DePaul should be number one in this week's poll and should be the only undefeated team at season's end. The Blue Demons or Ray Meyer are our pick for the national championship. We have tickets for the NCAA Eastern Regional at the Spectrum and hope the Demons are there. If there were not on suspension, we would like San Francisco's chances in the NCAA. They recently hammered Notre Dame. Yes, the Bear is smiling in 'bama. Bear Bryant has captured his second straight national title and what a team he had. We've been saying all year that the Tide was number one and once again the BEACON is right. By the way, the winning ways of Bryant's team must have spread to the basketball team at Alabama. Last week, they blew out Kentucky by more than twenty points. Rollllll TIDE! Greenwald"s Swimmers Now 1)·1; Look For Win Sat.

' ' Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, Dean of Health Sciences, announced this week that a program in Pharmacy Has been established between Wilkes College and Temple University School of Pharmacy. Rozelle noted that the Pharmacy program is part of a plan to alleviate a shortage of pharmacists in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Presently, Pennsylvaltia leads the nation in terms of the number of underserved counties in Pharmacy. Rozelle cited a listing of counties with shortages of pharmacists which was published in APhA Weekly including counties in 21 states. Pennsylvania, which has the most counties listed, has pharmacist shortages in 9 counties, including 6 in the 20 county area of the northeast: Tioga, Lycoming, Centre, Snyder, Northumberland, and Schuylkill. Rozelle sees no reason for a Pharmacist shortage since Pennsylvania has four Pharmacy Schools. The new program will be in effect next semester. Students interested in this program must meet admissions requirements for both Wilkes College and the Wilkes - Temple program. Students accepted into the program must declare a major, in addition to the pre-professional curriculum. The first two years are spent at Wilkes taking preprofessional courses, and courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, and ln;manities. At the end of the second year, a joint selection committee composed of faculty members from both Wilkes College and Temple University selects a maximum of 10 students for admission to the pharmacy component of the program. Students selected for the pharmacy component spend their third and fourth year at Temple University School of Pharmacy where courses are taken in pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. The fifth year of the program is spend between Temple University and Northeastern Pennsylvania apprenticeships studying pharmaceutical sciences and working in clinical rotations. Students may opt to spend a third year at Wilkes before going on to Temple for the pharmacy component of the program. Students not selected for the pharmacy component may remain here to complete studies for a baccalaureate degree and pursue a number of alternative health careers. A desire to practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania or the border counties of New York and New Jersey is a prerequisite to admission to the Wilkes - Temple Pharmacy Program. Rozelle commented that in essence the program brings "a small pharmacy school to Nor- ' theastern - Pennsylvania" within Wilkes College. He noted that he sees the program as a "great step forward" for the college and he is very happy that the college has taken the steps to begin this program. Rozelle added that he sees all of the programs as leading up to an upgrading of the health care system in Northeastern . Pennsylvania. In addition to the pharmacy program, programs are available in Medical Technology, Family Medicine, Optometry, and Podiatric Medicine in cooperation with various schools of health and medicine. Also, Rozelle said that Wilkes is in discussion with Temple University concerning the possibilities of programs in other health care areas such as Dental Medicine, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Louis Czachor In Kocyan Hall Break-in A break-in of Kocyan Hall was witnessed by a large group of people attending a party in Sturdevant Hall last Sunday night, December 2, 1979, at approximately 11: 30 p.m. The burglar has been identified as a student of the college currently enrolled as a junior history major. He was seen entering through a side window which was unlocked. He then proceeded through the C & F Dept. Offers Solutio~s To College Cheating Problem According to Dr. Howard Williams, Chairman of the,Business Administration Department, because the Commerce and Finance faculty are addressing the problem of cheating in their department, the public is unjustly associating C & F with deceit, even though the amount of cheating that occurs is matched by many other disciplines on campus. Williams admitted that historically the Business Department has been known for numerous cheating instances, but he sternly suggested that this would be a bad prediction for the future. Dr. Williams further stated that both President Capin and Dean Hartdagen are aware of the problem as is the whole C & F staff, and that, "Every reasonable step is being taken to tighten up on it. " Commenting on the incident of cheating that occured in Mr. Ross Mantione's C.S. 124 Cobol class, in which a sophomore Computer Science major completed an exam for a senior Accounting major, William said that the Commerce and Finance department was not asked to recommend suspension of the twc students. The chairman added that he knew nothing of the incident until he received a phone call from the Dean's office, informing him of the infraction. Personally, Williams pointed out that he feels the punishment handed down by the Dean in this case is totally justified. He went on to say that cheating from your neighbor in an exam, although inexcusable, is a human weakness warranting an automatic failure of the course. The kind of cheating that took place concerning the two suspended students Williams termed " ... a deeper threat to the college." In this case he added, there was " ... obvious pre-meditation and planning." The Commerce and Finance Department actually started to deal with the problem of cheating back in June of this year. In a more recent memo dat,~d the 6th of December sent to all C & F faculty members, variations of the numerous ideas discussed in June are presented. In the memo Dr. Williams states that because cheating has become an everyday practice among a sizeable group of C & F majors, the department has been severely criticized. He goes on that, "Testimony from a student government official, given in a disciplinary hearing, included the argument that one accounting major should not be singled out for expulsion when it is common knowledge that many accounting majors are seen publicly preparing crib sheets prior to exams. " According to the memo, in the past few years Williams has found · " ... cheaters using crib sheets attached to calculators, reference books with answers in the margins, answers written in bluebooks brought into the exam and the ever popular 'send a buddy up .to keep him busy while we look at his paper' ploy." In an attempt to answer Dean Hartdagen's question as to what the department is doing about the cheating problem, Williams asks each faculty member to submit to him what they do to prevent cheating, and what their penalty is, for cheaters. Ending the memo, Williams gives his own procedures for eliminating cheating such as giving as many as six versious of an exam, separating the class as much as possible, and using different sizes of paper and bluebooks in a random pattern. Thus far this semester, Williams and his assistant have caught seven students cheating simply by " ... giving different versions of an exam to students seated next to each other." Out of the seven students, six have dropped the course which is what Dr. Williams requests of those students who cheat in his class. _ When asked to comment on why cheating is occurring more fre- quently in colleges, these days, Williams replied that it appears to be a carry over from the students' high school experiences. Cheating is no longer looked down upon, and there is very little peer pressure on cheaters, the chairman mentioned. While discussing the Commerce <Continued on Page 2) building with a flashlight and entered the office of a faculty member of the Philosophy department. On-lookers from Sturdevant Hall, which is located directly next to Kocyan Hall on South Franklin Street, then saw the student leave through the window he entered carrying a file under his arm . Campus security was notified while the burglary was in progress, but arrived moments after the burglar had gone. Security passed the student on South Franklin Street as they came to K~yan Hall, and pursued him after they were informed of the details of the breakin. Dr. Donald Hensen, chairman of the Philosophy department, refused to comment on the incident when contacted as did Dean George Ralston. The burglar has received disciplinary action from the Dean's Council which met this past Tuesday to discuss the case. Atlanta Rhythm Section ProposedForFeb.3rd The main topic of discussion at Student Government's lilst regular meeting of the semester which was held on Monday, was the possibility of a concert which would be scheduled for Sunday, February 3, 1980. The concert, which would feature "The Atlanta Rhythm Section", would cost between $15,000 and $16,000. SG president, Dave Blumfield explained that the promoter does not want to pay for the whole show, and :.s a result SG would have to pay half. Blumfield noted that he feels any loss would be minimal, which he described as $1000 to $2000. One of the problems facing SG is the source of their half of the money. Blumfield stated that SG had $16,500 at the beginning of the year, but that more money had been dispersed to various clubs and · organizations, including the class treasuries, than in previous years. Blumfield concluded that "at the moment we do have enough money to have a concert." · He added that we would get all of the profit. There was a specfal meeting to decide if SG should go ahead with the concert on Wednesday night. The results of that meeting were unavailable at presstime. It was noted, however, on Monday night that if the concert was approved on Wednesday night that ticket sales would .probably begin next week, probably selling for $8.00 or $8.50.There would also be the possibility of a discount if sales are good. Blumfield concluded the discussion by saying that if the concert is held and is a success that he would like to try to get another concert for April. Blumfield announced that only $30 to $40 has been collected from the jars placed around the campus for the stereo in the Student Center. However, the Student Center Board may help to pay for the stereo with what is left over from its budget. IDC president Mike Stapleton announced that the Christmas Party which will be held tonight will cost $6.50, and that includes f~ beer and a reduction on all mixed drinks. The Freshman Class constitution was voted upon and ratified. Blumfield joined SG advisors, Mrs. Barker and Dean Hoover in wishing the students, faculty, and staff Happy Holidays.

Although there are some JDC representatives who show a fair amount of enthusiasm and dedication, there are many more who have a more apathetic attitude towards the council. The apathy is evident in almost everyone on JDC, but it is most noticeable in the members of the Executive Council. It appeared that there was as little preparation as possible for several meetings. For instance, Recording Secretary Valerie Van Dyke prepared no agenda for three meetings this semester, and no minutes for one of the three meetings. The minutes themselves are sketchy and vague, and would not be understood by anyone who had not atternled the meeting which the minutes were describing. Although every Executive Council members sh,wed an apathetic attitude, the person who will suffer the most blame is President Mike Stapleton, since he holds the highest position on the Council. Stapleton made little effort to accomplish more than was necessary. At times he failed to do even that. For instance, no CC-JDC float or display was built for Homecoming Weekend. Of course, he cannot be blamed entirely for this since it was to be a joint CC-ICD project, but Stapleton did little to promote interest of JDC members in the display or float. One area that seemed to hold promise at the beginning of the semester was the push for Co-Ed Housing by Stapleton and Mike Sibilia, Vice President. Both were interested in the possibility of having Co-Ed Housing on campus and should be creditea for at least bringing the issue to everyone's attention this year. However, in this area, too, apathy took its toll. The issue of Co-Ed Housing apparently died in mid-semester when Stapleton and Sibilia turned it over to the Student Life Committee. At this point, Stapleton and Sibilia apparently felt the issue was no longer Cheating Mi s s Penna.

Bill Miller, CC chairman for the party, reported that the controversy over having free beer and wine at the party was settled at the CC-IDC Social Committee meeting last Thursday. At that meeting, it was decided that free beer would be available, with other drinks at full price. The ticket price was raised from $6.00 to $6.50 to offset the extra expense of having free beer. Also, CC and IDC will each give $50 more to the party committee. The Christmas Party will be held Thursday night, December 13, at the Woodland's Inn. The band will be "Phoenix," and a buffet dinner will be served. It was also reported that the CCIDC Social Committee would be better organized next semester. A meeting of the committle was held on Tuesday, Dec. 11 to elect a permanent chairman for the remainder of the year, and to discuss possible ways of more formally organizing the social committee. IDC President Mike Stapleton announced that the judging of the dorm decorating contest would take place on Friday, Dec. 14. A $25 first prize and $15 second prize will be awarded in each of two categories ; best decorated dorm, and best decorated hall. The judges for the contest will be Mike Stapleton ; IDC Vice President, Mike Sibilia, Housing Director, Paul Adams and Associate Housing Director, Jean Reiter. Under new business, Stapleton suggested that IDC purchase records or tapes to replace the radio music that is currently played in the cafeteria during meals. Stapleton feels that the records or tapes will be enjoyed more than the radio music. This matter was not settled and was left to be discussed some time next semester. Mary Kay Pogar Forensic Union Concludes Fall Schedule After traveling more than 2,000 miles and competing against over 100 colleges and universities, the Wilkes debate union concluded its fall schedule this past weekend at Towson State University, Towson, Maryland competing against 33 institutions in a three day contest. The squad entered all areas of competition and received prefect scores in the preliminary rounds. Davida Roberts moved into the finals in rhetorical criticism with an indepth analysis of the late Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." She finished the competition with a fourth place trophy. Colleen Gries received a fifth place trophy in salesmanship competition. Jon Pliskin received recognition as the sixth best overall speaker. Darrell Lewis and · Norm Witko completed the squad's entrants in the contest. These victories raise to 14 the number of trophies that the debate union has won this semester. Next semester the union plans to travel approximately 3,000 miles in various forms of competition, The debate union's current trophies are on display in the lobby of the Center for the Performing Arts.

Jim Edwards Louis Czac hor CC The CC-IDC Social Committe reopened voting last Thursday on the questin of whether there should be free beer or a cash bar with reduced prices for the annual Christmas Party. Originally the eommittee passed a motion to have a cash bar with reduced prices. IDC opposed this plan and instead called for free beer. A compromise was finally reached to have both free beer and reduced prices. The compromise will mean that . the ticket price will increase from $6.00 to $6.50. In addition, both CC anbd IDC will have to increase their contribution from $750 to $800 to help defray the added expenses. In other news, Commuter Council received its first copy of THE COMMUTER, a quarterly newsletter put out by the National Clearinghouse for Commuter Programs. Several weeks ago, Commuter Council joined the Clearinghouse, whose primary concerns are commuting students and their needs and responsibilities. It was also announced Monday night that the Social Committee will be selecting chairpersons for their upcoming St. Patrick's Day and St. Valentine's Day parties. It is hoped that the St. Patrick's Day Party will be held off campus. Anyone interested in serving on a po_sition for these affairs is asked to contact the Social Committee or their CC or IDC representative respectively.

R. youlL It is that time of year again when The Beacon steps forward and analyzes the three student governing bodies on campus; the Inter-Dormitory Council, Commuter Council, and Student Government. A look is taken at their accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses, overall problems, and improvements over the preceeding year. The reporters who write these analyses have attended every meeting of the semester. They can all boast perfect attendance which most representatives of these councils cannot. They have observed each meeting and walk away with their own interpretations and perceptions of what actually took· place. The purpose of the analysis is simple. We expect every member of SG, CC and IDC to read their respective analysis and reflect as to what was accomplished and by what means. We realize that not everyone will agree with our viewpoints but it is our intent and hope that if a problem is cited, the respective council or person will acknowledge it and take corrective action. The Beacon monitors each group's behavior to keep them more or less on their toes and moving in a progressive direction. We feel that otherwise the three groups would stagnate and then eventually degenerate into accomplishing nothing. It is no news to us that some members of these bodies will do anything to get their name and-or picture in this paper every week. This is fine as long as the credit being passed out is ·deserved. When these analyses are read we hope that they will be taken as constructive criticism and not as a personal attack on anyone. Be proud of your accomplishments but also recognize your downfalls. If you are an elected official you must know bow to react to criticism because it could either make or break ,,__ you in future elections to come, whether they be on this campus or in later life.

For whatever reason, sat joyfully around the television , much of man's prosperity has set awaiting the countdown. Our developed grossly uneven causing a glasses were filled with eggnog ; steady increase in tension and their's spiked and mine straight, of strugle between classes and nacourse. The dining room table was tions. It comes down to a fight betstill covered with assorted cakes ween the have's and the have nots. rected before it's too late. I really do hope that we can figure out a way to put more direction into our lives, both the young and old need more of it to help them t}lrough their days. One thing is for sure about the eighties. It's going to take a great learned in the seventies is that there are no simple solutions to complex problems. The outgrowth of special interest groups is a perfect example of this. These days, it is virtually impossible for a law to be passed without countless groups first giving their consent. ' and pies left over from earlier in the evening. The lights from the Christmas tree illuminated the room as we watched the giant ball start it's long and leisurely decent. The next moment everything errupted in a blaze of noise. It seemed as if the entire world had stopped and let out a scream. We watched Times Square and every living soul crowded in it as they jumped and raved, sang and danced. Reports came in describing similiar events happening all over the country, even through the world. This recollection is of midnight, Dec. 31, 1979. The turbulent sixties were over. The upcoming decade of the seventies promised the world a chance to regroup, settle down, and start working together to build a better place for all of us t.9-live. For one brief moment, almost the entire world sparked with human solidarity. The common rejoicing in those few minutes will forever remain endeared in my memory. In a little more than two weeks from now, a similar event will take place. The faces have changed, the plot has been spiced up and thickened a bit, but the scene is basically the same. Another decade is coming to a close and with it is sealed one more chapter of world history. A new decade is now before us and our fascination of what it will bring The solutions of the seventies haven't been very effective and it is time for us to look for other ways to deal with the world's problems. If there is one thing that human nature has on its side it is that man just doesn't know how to quit until what we are striving for is ac- ~ complished. This quality of ours is a very precarious and dangerous one that we must deal with caution. It is much like a double-edged sword because it can do as much harm as good depending on the way it slices. We must carefully choose the path we wish to follow,-and dedicate our lives to its completion. If we take on self-defeating goals, then it is only ourselves we will have to blame for our failure. We need to have a national goal that can carry the country successfully into the future. Maybe, even an international task force of some kind might provid~.the unity that is sorely needed. In the last ten years we have discovered that American cannot lead the world out of darkness by being a great white hope. W 've also learned that we can't force feed progress to other nations. We can teach, educate, and offer improvements, but we must allow underdeveloped countries to progress at their own pace. One lesson that was definitely 0 us is enormous. It is a time for us to reflect upon the past ten years and to appraise our achievements, as well as our failure. It is also a time for us to look to the future to see what we can find. Undoubtfully, our accomplishments have been staggering. From the computer revolution to reconstructing DNA, the technological and scientific advancements of the 70's have truly been remarkable. The prospects for :urther and more amazing achievements are brighter than ever before. Phyllis' Beauty Salon 357 East South St. Wilkes-Barre, PA. Pe.,.. Starting at 5 15.N s•-,.., c. . . s., .... For on appointment colt 122-7027 On the international level, we must adopt a policy of cooperation and equality among nations. The seventies saw an expansion of this way of thinking, but for the eighties this trend must continue to spread to include all countries, rather than just the developed nations as it is today. The emphasis of international affairs will have to turn from who is number one to how is the whole group doing. America must shed it's watchdog image and concentrate ori becoming a concerned partner. On a personal level, the commitment to self-improvement must not recede. Instead, we must continue to expand our perspectives in order to accept the changes that must occur. If there is one lesson to be learned from the seventies it is that anything is possible. We will have to adjust our lifestyles to take this into account. As young adults and college students, we have a great concern for what happens in the eighties. The decade ahead lc,oks to be an age of limits, and a time where priorities must be redefined. Where these limits are set, and what priorities are chosen will affect us for the rest of our lives. It is no mistake to say that we must begin planning today for what will happen when we are old citizens. We have to realize that our overindulgent lifestyles must I be tempered. We have to stop wasting precious resources, and start recycling most of what we use. Our patterns of living must change, and ones that are better suited for the future must be developed. As far as America itself goes, we will have to regroup ourselves, and start rebuilding the confidence lost in the seventies. Our traditional institutions have taken a beating and are in need of repair. This is an ex- -Book--Anct-·Record Mart 18 S. Main St. .

Of course, this implies that we have the strength, courage, and foresight to do it wisely. Perhaps, the most basic change that should take place is a switch from living for today to living for the future. This type of change would not mean sacrificing personal enjoyment or pleasure, but probably might increase the general well-being of our society as a whole. Only by building for the future can we hope to keep up with the other advanced nations. Whatever happens to us in the eighties, I hope that it happens peacefully. I hope the mistakes we've already made can be cor- amount of hard work and dedication to really make a difference. Nothing is going to come to us free. We will have to pay our dues so, get ready.

However, at the end of each academic semester it is also my duty to assess the actions and interactions taken on by the Council. This assessment is nothing more than a series of personal remarks based on observations I have made throughout my coverage. It will represent both the negative and the positive aspects of Commuter Council First, the negative. There seeems to be a growing dissention among the members of · CC towards members of IDC and SG. This is obviously shown during the two major social events that were planned. Major controversies began to appear over such as " What band will perform" and "Do we really want free beer of a cash bar with reduced prices." On both accounts, votes were taken and decisions were reached, only to have the voting reopened and to ·have a new decision made on the basis that "there was a misunderstanding of informatin about the band" or "not all of the students' opinions were fully represented. " Although compromises were made that satisfied both CC and IDC, there was a considerable loss of time, energy and not to mention a growing feeling of animosity between members of each group. Another negative aspect is that there still remains a question on the disappearance of $800 from the past budget of Commuter Council. Although, I have been informed Broken Pickering Hall Windows Entail Considerable Expense into them . One student had to be hospitalized,receiving one-hundred stitches. The college, for safety reasons, is replacing the twenty door panes with lexian, which does not shatter on impact. The lexian cost approximately $3200. Labor and Industry regulations, however, require one-hundred square inches of wired glass on the outside doors, prohibiting the installation of polyglass or lexian. Dave Gurgen, a member of the Emergency Alert Team, said his team treats about ten injuries a year that are incurred by the doors. Since September, the team has treated and taken two students to the hospital, while a third student required an ambulance. George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs, said twenty doors per year have been broken since 1965, and it has always been a concern of the college. Window damage comes in i sporadic epidemics, he said, though Hair Styling- Hair Cutting more happen on the weekends, Perming-Conditioning "When everyone is partying.

From August 1978 to September 1979, $2818 worth of l!ass was broken by vandalism or carelessness, said Paul Adams, Director of Housing, and since September 1979, approximately ten door windows needed replacing, costing $1600. Seven of those ten doors were broken since Thanksgiving. Adams said much of the breakage has been charged back to individuals, but the college never catches many offenders. Adams made a distinction between the outside door windows and the corridor windows inside Pickering Hall. ·The corridor windows do not serve as fire doors,. but were installed in 1974 to combat noise and increase utility within the dorms. Students have been injured running _ _ _ _ _ room windows earlier this year. Ralston attributed simple carelessness as a leading ca!lse, but also said some of it is malicious behavior.With the rising cost of glass, however, the college is investigating other alternatives, such as replacing the glass doors with steel, or even possibly blocking the exits off as a punitive measure. He said that students do not fully realize that vandalism shows itself in rising tuition. He concluded that the doors were left intact, it would help keep tuition down. David Stahl that actions are currently being taken to locate these missing funds, however, nothing is ever made specific to me or to any other member of The Beacon staff. When brought up during a meeting, the conversation is stricken from the records. In fact, whenever an issue appears that speaks out against the Council or another representative group appears, it is auiomatically stricken from the records. It appears that CC is misusing this power not only against The Beacon but against all students who have the right to know what is actually said at their meeting. Perhaps Commuter Council should realize that it is better to openly debate the crucial issues than to try to privately solve it among themselves. If it has bearing on the student body than it should be made public. If Commuter Council could overcome these difficulties, then they would undoubtedly be more successful. Still, I was impressed by some of the actions of the Council. Joining the National Clearinghouse for Commuter Programs is certaily a step in the right direction, just as having the Tri-Organizational Meetings and the Joint CC-IDC Meeting. I was also extremely impressed by the growing spirit of vitality, good sense and character shown by the majority of the members of CC. It seems that no matter if the members have differing viewpoints, they will continually support each other. No where is this more evident than on the Executive Council. The Executive Council keeps almost all affairs clear, concise and up-to-date. Hardly is anyone ever absent from the council. There doesn't seem to be one member that c:trries all the burdens of the entire organization; each member carries his or her own responsibilities. The minutes are available to everyone at each meeting and the treasurer's report is given at the beginning of each meeting along with the list of debits and credits. An agenda-type format is always used and the meeting is conducted in a very democratic way. The president successfully remains in full control of the meeting. In to~I, the Executive Council works as a very well organized and dedicated team. As everyone knows, the true power of any organization rests not on the officers, but rather on the support of the entire body of the organization. It seems to this reporter, that Commuter Council is always encouraging student involvement in all college afairs as well as with the commuting students.

The fact that something can not be acquired for nothing is only driven home to the "victims" when they get hurt. Similarly, many college students are plagued with the problem of being short on cash, and resort to what is considered by some to be a "something for nothing" scheme plasmapheresis. Plasmapheresis, according to the FDA guidelines, is the removal of plasma from the blood of a donor with the red blood cells being returned to the body. Plasma centers pay donors for their plasma, which is used for research and vaccines, according to desk personnel at a local plasma center. FDA guidelines mandate that the procedure must adhere to specific requirements. These include. a medical examination prior to donating plasma, and a blood test for amounts of plasm·a protein, immunoglobin and other plasma components. Local procedures, according to student donors, are a medical examination on the first visit, and a plasma donation after that. The donor's finger is pricked, and his blood checked for protein levels, hemoglobin levels and blood pressure. If all are normal he waits for his tum on the cot. When his name is called, he is given stickers and bracelets with individual identification. These are placed on all bags of blood and on the individual. Trained personnel then proceed to take approximately one pint of blood which is collected in a plastic bag, An I.V. (intravenous solution >is set up to keep the vein open while the blood is centrifuged. The plasma, again acording to FDA regulations, is separated from the whole blood. The blood cells are returned to the donor in a cold saline solution by injecting it into the vein. A second pint of blood is taken and the process repeated. Total time for donation is quoted as 90 minutes at the plasma center. Students donors, however quote two or three hours. After the donation, the center provides donuts and orange juice. Plasma is 90 percent water but the important part of It Is the protein component. The two most important proteins In the plasma are albumfn and globulin. Albumin is the same protein found in egg whites. Globulin, also called lmmunog]obin, plays an important role in antibody production, which is essential in combating infection. According to Dr. Wilkie, chief pathologist at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston, there is a commercial market for albumin, which can be fractioned off of whole plasma. Monetary incentives at plasma Neu, Phi Alpha Theta Chapter The national history honor society. Phi Alpha Theta. has approved the History Department. for a chapter as of November 13. 1979. A petition had to be submitted to the society and other chapters and the national director: Chairman of the . History Deptartment. Dr. James P . Rodechko commented that one of the reasons that approval was granted is " because of the credentials of the department faculty which include quite a few publications ." Eligible students are invited to join after completing 12 credit hours in history with a grade of 3 or better and a grade of 3 or better in all other courses. The honor society provides an annual manuscript award. book awards for publications. a scholarship program and regional conferences. Also. a quarterly journal of history is published which all members receive and contains a placement service for students. Rodechko points out. " It is an extremely significant thing in terms of a student's resume." The membership petition includes three students names. They will serve as the officers for the chapter of the society. The st.udents are: Andrew J anquitto. President: Dominic Augustine. VicePresident; and Ann Cardillo. Secretary-Treasurer . Rodechko noted that other students will be invited to join and that the installation will take pl ace early next semester. In the futu re new members will probably be inducted once a year.

The Blue and Gold posted a significant 21-16 win over Eastern rival Navy and dumped Delaware Valley 38-9, while losing to ninthranked Oregon St. 29-11. But more importantly, Coach John Reese utilized the squad's depth and several new faces donned the varsity stripes. Wilkes needs a lot of wrestlers in each weight in order to compete with its tough schedule which includes some of the best teams in the nation. Fans who were lucky enough to make it to the Oregon St. dual were afforded to see some of the best individual wrestlers in the country. Oregon's squad surely captured the admiration of local wrestling buffs. Despite the fact that they wrestled four dual meets in a row before coming to Wilkes-Barre, the Beavers travelled to compete in the Lehigh tournament the next day. " Some of the Beaver matmen looked a little tired, but their biggest attribute was their physical wrestling style on the mat. Wilkes also looked sluggish which didn't help things, because once Oregon scored a takedown to get on top it was all over. They used their strong leg and wrist rides to control our Colonels. Billy Dodge, Bart Cook and Rick Smith were the only victors for the Blue and Gold, while Dan Miner had a draw. Wilkes junior 118 pounder Eddie Johnson, Chelmsford, Mass. has been taking his bumps and appeared even with Oregon's Randy Majors on his feet, but Majors was just too strong on the mat and took an 8-0 major decision. Dodge, a junior from Arlington, Va. remained unbeaten at 126 when he handled Stan Stephanson, 8-2. All-American Mike Bauer took a 9-2 decision from Bryan Billig at 134. Things could have been different if Billig recorded the opening takedown, but Bauer surprised him with a quick shot. · Ore·gon kept its momentum and sailed through the m iddle weights until unbeaten Dan Miner, a junior from Chambersburg drew with his Oregon opponent. Wilkes fans were disappointed to see co-captain Mark Densberger, Danville .suffer his first Joss, but it was his first time down to 150 and didn't wrestle up to par. It_was a strategy move With Navy leading 15-10 after the 167 contest, Cook displayed his superiority over Navy's Jerome Clark 19-6 to tie the score. Smith followed with a fine 5-3 decision at 190 to put the Blue and Gold in front which could have worked if the Col- 18-15.

I It)· F.Mi• Mia. I I I ''Ya Gotta Luvlt!!'' I I Inn It was without a doubt the-greatest victory in the history of Wilkes College men's basketball. And it also was one of the greatest wins in the history of Wilkes sport. 77-76. Over King's College. It still hasn't settled in yet. " Ya gotta luv it!" they were screaming. Yes, our "gritty and gutty" men's basketball team of " All-World" coac h Ror. Righter defeated King's College last week 77-76 at the " big gym on North Main Street." The win left King's followers in shoc k - how could little old Wilkes beat our powerful Monarchs; and left Colonel followers dancing in the streets - really! i gue!>s you had to have been in this area for a good many yea rs to understand the real meaning of last Wednesday's wi n. It wasn't just because we beat them there, or that it was a MAC and MIC game. No, the real meaning of this win was that King's is no longer "king" when it comes to local college basketball. For many years, then Division II King's was the big attraction - with the huge crowds, the fancy warm-ups and uniforms and of course - the " big gym on North Main Street." But then Scranton gave them some competition by winning a Division III national championship. But still, the Monarchs held on to be the "number one" college basketball team in Northeastern Pennsylvania. After a 25-year absence of regular-season competition between the two schools and with King's. moving to Division III, last year they met TWICE and King's won - TWICE. It did not matter that the Colonels only lost to the highly favored Monarchs by two and four points. We did lose and King's fans boasted about how, again, they were tops. But not this year baby! In a game, which local sportswriters and media people called, "One of the greatest sporting events in the last thirty years," both clubs gave their all and more. King's came in as an eight-to-ten point favorite, but it didn't matter everyone knew the game would go down to the wire. And down to the wire it did. A last-second shot by Monarch Steve Locnikar hit short off the rim and little Pat McCue scooped up the rebound and was fouled with :01 left to play. It was over - we did it! Despite missing the services of their leading scorer after three games Mike McCarrie - who dislocated his thumb in the opening minutes - the Colonels had pulled it out. Despite a brilliant shooting performance by King's senior guard Joe Hand (26 tallies - missing only one shot, none in the second period>, Wilkes prevailed. The Colonel "D" was so excellent forcing Monarch turnovers, you thought Ed Donohue was going to open up a bakery. The Colonel "press" did the job driving King's freshman guard Keith Alleyne bonkers. and the usually-dependable Jim Shea into throwing inbounds' passes into the stands. · · The defense also shut down King's top performer sophomore George Aldrich, who scored only five points in the loss. The key to the Wilkes win was Artie Meigh, who came off the bench to replace Mike McCarrie and responded with 16 points on eight of te n shooting from field, five key rebounds, seven glorious assists, three steals and a blocked shot. Whew, Artie you deserve a rest! A look at the three area Division III college basketball tea ms show that Scranton - lost without assistant coach Mike Strong, now with their women's program - are floundering with a 1-5 record having lost their last five. The Royals could possibly make a run for it in the second half of the season when a few lettermen come back after academic probation. The Monarchs, now 2-3 on the year - heading into an away ga me with Division II power Philadelphia.Textile this week, recentl y lost to Kutztow n State at home on Saturday - blowing a 1!1-point lead. And who do you guess is on top - Wilkes with a 4-0 slate. Do you believe it? You better ! These guys are for real. If Wilkes loses the rest of its games this year, so what? We beat King's - and that's the grea test win of all!

She was followed in double figures by Lynn Yedlock with 12 and Mary Jean Farrell 1¥ith 10. All 13 players who made the trip got plenty of playing time. On Thursday the Wilkes ·women traveled down the block to face inter-city rival King's. " I think we were over ready for that game.

I was happy though, to see our girls put it all together after we realized how bad we played on Thursday," stated the Wilkes coach. Wilkes' running game controlled the tempo after they regained the lead, which they never relinquished. The home ladies were led again by Diane Kendig, who many feel has a good shot at being an All-American before her brilliant career is over at Wilkes.

The old Student Union Building will also be removed soon. but a definite date has not been set. Demolition Of Former Commons Scheduled For C.h ristmas Break The demolition of the old Commons by an area contractor has been scheduled to take place during the 1979-1980 Christmas vacation . Dr. Andrew Shaw. Director of the Institute of Regional Affairs. reported that plans for the demolit!on of the building were initiated once the site of the new Student Center Facility was chosen and confirmed. Shaw noted a few reasons for the destruction of the Commons other than the completion of the new center including the poor condition of the second floor. and the high cost of upkeeping the building. He added. "We' re concerned about the constructional integrity of the facility. . ." which ultimately influen ced the administrations final decision concerring the future of the structur.e. After compiling the results of a student questionnaire answered by over 500 students. Dr. Shaw said ii was evident that the area occupied by the Commons could be put to better use. The director described the area as a potential showcase of the campus. and pointed out that the destruction of the building would fit right into the future redevelopment plans of the college. When asked to comment on the future of Church Hall. the structure across from the Commons. Shaw stated that it will definitely be removed from the campus at some future date. Until the exact time of the buildings demolition is decided upon. it will continue to serve in its present capacity as an addition classroom. but no college funds will be spent to upgrade the facility . Although mentioning nothing definite. Shaw touched upon a few concepts of the college's proposed redevelopment study. One aspect which Shaw emphasized was the importance of an attractive courtyard between Kirby Hall and the library for student interaction. Though no details of the study could be discussed until after it is presented to the Board of Trustees on December 14. an analysis of the study will appear in a series of articles in the BEACON next semester . Peter Steve For the first time in two years the Judicial Council will convene to hear an appeal by two students who were suspended from the college for the spring semester after found guilty of cheating. From its inception in 1974-75. the Judicial Council was set up to " handle cases where college policies were breached" states George Ralston. Dean of Student Affairs. It was developed through members of the Board of Trustees. According to the college handbook. the purpose of the Council is "to provide an opportunity for hearing for students charged with violations of college regulations" and "to promote students. faculty and administrative participation in the hearing and decision making process." " Some felt it was too sophisticated." said Ralston. He continued by saying that it was not successful and was abolished in 1977 after action upon 6-8 cases. At that time. Ralston explained the college reverted back to having the discipline cases handled by Dean's Council concerning all matters. The Judicial Council was left as a body where students could make appeals concerning action taken against them by the Dean's Council . This council has been vacant since 1977 due to the fact that there has been no occasion to use it. explained Ralston . President Capin will be making appointments to the council this week for the first time in over a year. He will choose two faculty members from a list of four recommended by the faculty. two members of the Dean's Council from a list of four recommended by the Dean's Council and three students (who have a junior or senior class standing and a minimum GPA of 2.3 ) from a list of six recommended by Student Government. A council clerk will also be appointed by the President from three additional names recommended by Student Government. . This particular case occured during October. A sophomore Computer Science major completed an exam for a friend of his. a senior accounting major, in Mr. Ross Mantione's C.S. 124 Cobol class . Mantione was not there when the test was given but the proctors for the exam discovered the cheating after the tests were turned in. Upon action from the Dean's Council the two students were suspended from the college for the spring semester of 1980. They will be allowed to be readmitted to the college in the fall of 1980. Ralston said that Dean's Council has "never handled a case like this before." Simple cheating of one student copying answers from a fellow student in class have been handled many times. He feels that this is an "open and shut case" since they admitted their guilt but any student who is suspended is eligible for an appeal. "The Math and Commerce & Finance departments recommended the suspension" said Raison and added that this is a very serious case. The hearing should take place some time this week or early next week. Finishing Touches Completed---------.------- SC Bar Now Ready For Operation The bar in the basement of the new student center is now operational and completed with the exception of gates on two sides of the bar. The bar. which has a white marblized formica countertop and a brown marblized formica base. is tucked into a corner with a wall separating its two serving areas. Student Cent~r Director Dave Kerek noted that the bar has a capacity of two kegs with room for two additional kegs in storage. The bar has two carbon dioxide pressurized taps and three kinds of beer are currently purchased from a Miller distributer: Miller. Miller Light. and Lowenbrau . Kerek noted that the center is planning to get its own taps so that different varieties of beer can be served .

Anyone interested in attending the Convention is asked to contact Joseph Knox in the COPUS Office or Bill Lewis in the CC Office. Under reports. John · Moffatt representing the Student Center Board reported that one ash tray and one silver lamp are missing from the Student Center and that a cigarette machine was broken. Moffatt also reported that cigarette machines and a juke box will be placed on the first floor of the Center and that several games including chess and checkers are available to the students on the second floor. Also. SCB will be looking into securing the pool table from the New Men's Dorm for the Center and that all members of SCB will receive free admittance to any party held in the Student Center providing that the SCB members work during the party. Under unfinished business. tickets for the Christmas Party will go on sale next week for $6.00 in the Student Center. The party will be held at the Woodlands and the band Phoenix is expected to perform. A buffett dinner of lasagna , chicken. various vegetables and dessert will be served. Another topic of major importance brought up at the meeting was the winter weekend pl anned for February 8. 9 and 10. In conjunction with the 1980 Olympics, Wilkes will sponsor a mock olympiad . It is expected that about 20 teams comprised of male and female Wilkes College students will each represent a major country in areas of volleyball. speed skating, " lraying". and other areas of compcti, lion. There will be awards given and proceeds from this event will go to help defray the costs of sending our athletes to the Olympics. Olympic T-shirts will be available for anyone who wants one. The meeting concluded with the council passing a few decisions: CC will be taking out a $20 ad from the Letterwomen's Tournament and there will be no CC meetings scheduled during the Christmas vacation nor during any time that school has been officially cancelled. Everyone is also reminded that there will be a Christmas Caroling practice this Thursday at 7:00 in Weckesser Hall to prepare for the Christmas Party at Retreat on December 10. A 47 passenger bus and extra vans if necessary will be provided for transportation.

It was also reported that the Student Center will probably not work through just one distributor to obtain beer for parties held in the center, but wil1 instead purchase its own taps for the bar. This will allow organizations sponsoring parites to purchase any type of beer they want.

The usual ' frequenters of the square night life. however. can quickly distinguish between those who are really just on an errand and those who are there for other purposes. namely to find some action . It was interesting to see that of those who are left to find some of this infamous square nightlife. most are really just teenagers with nothing better to do on a Friday night. or so it would seem . A Male Point oF View The regular square traffic. those who don't ride around the square for three hours at a time. seemed to be somewhat surprised to see a male standing on the corners which must usually be inhabited by shoppers and housewives carrying home their purchases from the local department stores. The idea. however. must not bt that unusual considering the reaction from some of those automobiles who ceaselessly circled the newly renovated downtown park. At first glance. one would not think much of someone pulling irito a pull-in spot on the square. simply because you have seen it done so many times before. When the car is unfamiliar and you are the reason the car is in that pulling spot. that seemingly innocent sleet design takes on a new dimension. It became clear quickly that in order to understand the rules of this game. eye con tact 'is a vital part. Drivers who were staring and had their stare returned . were back in that pull-in area the next time around that oval. Those whose stare was never answered soon started disappearing from · their usual routes. · As far as the types of square regulars that passed by me on Friday. there was really no one stereotypical person. who is there looking for his part of this scene. High school girls in used cars were side by side with older men in Cadillacs. yet after a short time they all had one thing in com mon. Every car had its' occupants whose eyes were glued on those solitary NIGHT TIME ON THE SQUARE-Public Square is usually deserted at night except for a few ";iction seekers." figures who stand in front of the display windows or the doorways of the various stores. Yet just as if those figures were the mannequins who fill those display windows. the occupants stare just as if you are the merchandise who cover those lifeless forms in the window. The eye of those occupants are something one soon does not forget. Although most of those who frequented those pull-in areas on the square. soon left if their advance was not answsered, some were more persistant. The same cars returned time after time. reappearing sometimes after long absences. Although some of thsoe who stared were women. most who stopped and persisted were men. For example. one persistant occupant a late model car. got out and opened his trunk. revealing whips and chains to signify of his attraction to this reporter. Obviously. the gay community has come onto the square in search of their part of the nightlife as well as those of the straight society. A Female Point of View As a different as night and day is the action and total mood of the square from approximately 10 p.m . to 12 a.m. The square and surroundings are practically deserted with the exception of a few intoxicated individuals and curious onlookers. As I walked slowly around the area surveying the scene. a beat-up -~fl sfera111'1111Js11 II :!IIIHIIIIUIHllllllllffllllllllll-mllllllll = I i= = § i i i i ~~ PIONEER· crown • 1.1.C.

Cltl-lllClll L age-old line of "Do ya wanna ride " resulting to obscene gestures to get their point across. Another Female Point of View Most people head for Public Square on a Friday or Saturday night expecting to find a lot of action . Some joke about its fame. calling it the " Hayna 500," only a place to go for those who have nothing better to do than ride around the square for hours on end. Surprisingly enough, many people do just that - drive around Public Square hollering to others in cars or attempting to approach those walking or sitting near the street. " Action" can be found on the square, and one does not have to wait very long to find it. For the average female walking on Public Square, various approaches are used to make contact. One man parked his car in a lot adjacent to the Martz terminal and proceeded to get out of his car and follow me on foot around the square . Once I made it known that I was not alone, however, the man TH( S'fRft I HOUSE INC 7,1 WYO~ING AV KINGSTON L pickup truck and its driver watched my every move as I waited for the " WALK " sign to flash . He pulled around the corner. stopped. and beeped his horn. This is more or less a way of signifying to this reporter that he WJS interested. After about six corners of greenlights the driver gave up on me and found another willing partici_pant who was approximately 14 or 15 years old . Walking in and around the barren square. police can be seen all over the area at times and at other times not one could be found . Rarely did a cop stop to say anything. No matter who was crusing the city streets whether it be an elderly couple or a single male. everyone stared at the lone figures circling the square. One certain area that seemed to attract a lot of action was near a major department store. Standing around tile area or seated on the benches provoked quite a bit of attention and action. The spot made it quite easy for someone in the right lane to quickly swerve over and make his pitch. One curious trio seemed to wonder "why" I was sitting on the square at that tie of the evening. Without much ado, the occupants of the vehicle took "NO" for an answer and left. There was of course another incident and I might add the final incident in which two males would not take "N O" for an answer. They persisted for about 15 minutes appealing their case of "going partying." Everything from beer and whiskey to pot was offered as enticement. Although everything was refused one felt tfie need to exit the car and try further to convince me of "the fun I would have." After a threatening and frightening statement the male noticed that I was not alone and upon the encouragement of his friend quickly got back into the car and pulled away. Other minor incidents scattered through out the night included the WILKES-BARRE PLASMA CENTER Free physical exam by our physician! ! EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was written after 7 Beacon staff members were involved in an undercover investigation of the night life at the square. New Stereo Purchase Discussed By SG At Student Government's meeting on Monday. December 3, 1979 the prospects for a stero for the new student center building were discussed. SG President Dave Blumfield announced that the stereo would be purchased soon and that installation will hopefully be completed by the beginning of next semester. Shep Willner questioned Blumfield as to what situation existed concerning the acqusition of a large-screen , TV . Blumfield responded that •·funds are not coming in as quickly as I had hoped·. so for the moment. the TV is put aside" since he thinks the stereo is more important. Blumfield announced that he is looking into the possibility of getting a few concerts for next semester. He noted that he will do most of the planning for the concerts during the break betweeh semesters. No fund requests were made and Faculty Committee Reports were tabled until next week's meeting. It was also announced that next week SG 's meeting will begin one-half hour early -- at 6:00 instead of 6:30. Also. the budget for next semester will be discussed next week.· The Film Committee announced that " Godspell" will be shown next Friday, December 14. 1979 in the CPA at 7:00 and 9:30.

Another incident involved a man offering me money, with two policemen standing approximately 50 feet away. After some persua ~ive talking, which did not succeeu, he drove away only to join the other cars circling the square. While sitting on a bench in front of a department store, I was approached by a man in a car, offering me "a warm bed and good pot" if I would accompany him "for a ride." · When I refused his offer, he persisted slightly and soon left. Others pulled their cars in front of me. motioned for me to join them in their cars. The remaining people either honked, shouted or whistled, but made no attempt at further communication.

Decembt-r 6. 1!17!1 At Shippensburg-- - -- - -- - - Debaters Take 4th Place copus by David Stahl Many students consider politics to be a remote institution influencing others ; however, recent state and national legislation effects the certainty of work study programs and the wages that colleges must pay. the disclosure of tests by testing services. and the level of state and federal grants. For instance, Pennsylvania senators tried to show their frugality by deleting $40 million from the $550 million work study program. The consequencess of a $1.5 million cut would have left 2,347 students without jobs. while a related cut in National Direct Student Loans would have left 3,620 students without loans. COPUS lobbied for the House of Representatives plan. which would have kept the appropriations at 1979 levels. When the two bodies met to resolve their differences, the Senate conceeded to the house's plan. The Institutional Assistance Grants bill. if passed. would raise the limit of Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Association grants from $400 to $450. The $400 was set in 1974, and has rarel y been fully funded. Because of inflation's effect on tlie dollar, COPUS hopes to get the limit raised and funded to $6, which would be a $200 benefit to students. If a Truth in Testing bill passes, it would require testing services, such as SAT. ACT, and GRE, to supply a compy of test questions and corrected answer sheets to students requesting such information. Even though the bill may increase the cost of the tests, COPUS supports the bill. which would treat test takers as consumers. Testing services influence the destiny of students, yet test takers are not allowed to scrutinize the test itself. or the mistakes they made. A national bill, the Reauthorization of Higher Education Act <HR 159"2), effects Basic Education Opportunity Act, Student Education Opportunity Grant and college work study programs. HR 1592 increases the maximum BEOG and SEOG grants, but these levels mean little without proper funding. Therefore, COPUS strongly supports adequate appropriations. Regarding the work study program, the bill will have a profound effect. First, it increases the authorization levels of the program, which may open up more jobs. Second, a provision in it prohibits institutions from paying sub-minimum wage. As of February 1978. 900 colleges were paying 1ess than $2.90 an hour. Finally, HR 1592 would withhold 3 percent of work study funds, and divert them to colleges that offer vocationally relevant work. COPUS encourages such legislation by sending letters of support to congressmen, and lobbying for the bills in Harrisburg and Washington. In the end, this may effect you . :\OTICE Thert• will ht• a nweling for lh1• St•nior ('lass n1•xl Tlmrsda.,·.

On Sunday evening, a security guard found the door to the office ajar while he was making his rounds at the Center of the Performing Arts. He closed the door and reported the incident. Unfortunately Groh was in Chicago for the weekend and did not find out about the incident until he returned on Wednesday. He reports that his office was com. pletely overturned. "Everything in my office was strewn all over the floor and a picture on the wall was scribbled over with a crayon." he stated. He further said that he has not straightened the office yet and therefore does not know if anything was taken from it. The incident was reported to Dr. Andrew Shaw and · Dr. Thomas Kelly as well as the police. According to Groh this is the fifth time in about a five year period that his office has been broken into.

Berryman, Department Cha) rman . .. In its six years of existence. it has undergone numerous changes and improvements, and is now in good shape." · Dr. Berryman went on to say that the changes included new course offerings, such as water quality and geology, which were added partly because of feedback from graduate students. Requirements in other departments, including the social sciences. were also changed to provide the student with a greater depth of background material. Basically, the department is set up in a three step approach. During the freshman and part of the sophomore years. students)work in basic sciences. such as math. chemistry, and biology.,. Students then progress to a core of courses in earth sciences. which include meteorology, oceanography, and geology. In the junior and senior years. the students are offered a choice. They can either go on to advanced earth sciences. or go on to environmental science. This type of foundation is built on the philosophy that the courses include applied knowledge and going step by step build up more knowledge. · Offerin both B.S. and B.A. C/,11d, ~,1,1,;,u . • • SNl'IIIISIONS COMPAIIY We accept M oster Charge & Visa 39 West Market Street Wilkes-Borre, PA 1970 1 Phone : 822-1333 Frge Parking At Hotel Sterling PATIKK -.an ona IEVIEI FISTEI 1111 CLIFFS IITES! degrees. the department incorporates ideas in the earth and environmental sciences. Both programs are highly interdisciplinary and include laboratory and field work. The Earth and Environmental Science Department employs the philosophy that there are two kinds of scientists: those who study. analyze, monitor, and test. These students ask what, how much. and where - and seek a B.S. degree. The other type is one who tries to change something or do something through legal and economical means. Students intrested in this work towards a B.A. degree. Dr. Berryman stressed, however, that although the B.A. degree is different froin the B.S. degree. it is not just a watered-down program . Dr. Berryman stated that most. . students prefer j ob-seeking after graduation. "Sixty percent of the students go directly into job's ; 20 percent go on to graduate school : and 20 percent do neither. They either gel married, work in their father's professor. whatever." He continued that their training apparently trains them for almost anything. There is a high percentage of jobs for graduate students : and all the students that have graduated from Wilkes have been · accepted in grad schools. As for job opportunities. Dr. Berryman stated that for the earth scientist with a B.S. degree. there is not much open. except in geology. However, there now are tremendous opportunities for jobs with oil companies. Generally. students looking for jobs in the area of oceanography or meteorology usually need advanced degrees. In the Environmental Sciences. a student with a B.S. degree has numerous job opportunities. Some former graduates from the Earth and Environmental Science Department currentl y hold many interesting and diverse jobs.

"There are a large number of transfers from other departments and colleges. usually at the junior level, " elaborated Dr. Berryman. All three of the faculty members are employed full-time. Besides teaching, these faculty members also write research articles. In the past six years, fourteen articles r:uvr~~f:.n published inprofessional Although there is no national accrediting society. the Pennsylvania education department recently granted a secondary teaching cerlificate for Earth and Space Science.

Compared to other colleges, Wilkes is the only college in the immediate area that offers this sort of program. "This is a plus for the school. Our program is different as it is highly interdisciplinary. All the sciences are in one department and this gives the student a broad view of the environment. '' Dr . Berryman continued that the approach is from a physical point of view, rather than a biological or ·ecological view. The Earth and Environmental Science CLub, formerly the CQmmittee for a Clean Environment, is a very proud club, and very impressive.- They've started some very worthwhile projects." One of these was a four year battle with Pennsylvania in an attempt to prevent the widening of River Street. By widening the street, it would take land and trees away from the River Common. This battle extended to the Supreme Court. Another project they started. and has now been instituted as a permanent practice by the Wilkes-Barre City Council, is an after-season Christmas tree chip-in. Residents turn in their old Christmas trees. which -are turned into sawdust. and made available to citizens free of charge. A third project which was initiated by the club has blossomed .

A grant was written to the federal government for $76,000, · in order to buy the land. This grant · was awarded. In fact, Dr. Berryman stated he received word that it appears the county expects to take possession of the land within the next month. With regard to the students of the department. Dr. Berryman said that almost every student goes through the same phases. " They come in as freshmen, ready to conquer the world and clean the whole environment of pollution. After awhile. they realize the difficulty and _go through a depressed, dejected stage. As seniors, they become dedicated to improve the environment. but from a more realistic point of view.

December 6, l!li!I ''Grand Illusions'' This past weekend to the dismay of many people. the Molly Hatchet coocert scheduled for Scranton's John Long Center was cancelled due to sound equipment problems. After reviewing the record of our area concerning concert cancellations over the past year, this recent disappointment is right in tune. Remember the "Boston" concert at Kings you psyched yourself up for, only to be smacked with a doctor's excuse for the group not appearing. Or how about the "Jefferson Starship" performance which was called off because of poor ticket sales. And then there was ''The Stone's Show' ' at our own college that sold approximately six tickets before it was erased into oblivion. These cancellations were only surface wounds before "Molly Hatchet" delivered the final blow. What's a matter Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area? Have you lost your faith in local promoters or are you changing your interests to classical music? And how about you college and high school "concert committees," are you satisfied with filling your concert schedule with cancellations? Do you feel you are doing your job _by disappointing local fan~at the gate? Or isn't it your fault ? Maybe we should just forget rock concerts in our area and stick to Saturday versions of "Polka Joy land." Its about time somebody got their act together and realized what the true problem is. Our area·does not have a facility like the Spectrum and thus we cannot hold concerts with groups like " Boston," "Toto," or the "Rolling Stones" as a main attractions. Like a beginner in any field, we must start small and work our way up. But where do we start? According to local promoters. it is up to the "concert committees" to make the initial step towards improvement. Promoters stress that it is very important for a "concert committee" to find out who their audience wants to see (within reason of course. ) Compiled lists of newly established groups which will play in arenas the size of our local gymnasiums, would aid promoters in obtaining quality performers. By gathering the list from various polls throughout the year, satisfaction for everyone, including the fan, is surely guaranteed. For an area with a good representation of young people from numerous colleges and high schools, its sad to think that we must go to the movies to see a "live" concert. Its time our committees started to do the job they were established for. They must abandonded their ho-hum way of organizing a concert, and pursue new avenues of entertainment promotion. It seems that the strategy recommended by local promoters is as good as any, with these committees having nothing to lose. In any case, it will be interesting to see if our committees will allow future concerts like "Molly Hatchet" to be axed, or whether they will develop our area to accomodate "Starship" and "Stones." 0 West Germany and the Phillipines.

Is deportation? An editorial on such an important issue as Iran should provide analysis or take a position rather than expound ambigious ideas like patriotism.

To be honest. the gerbil and piranha are not that uncommon as far as pets go. but a tar antul a and an allig..rtor are. How many people do you know like to sleep in the same room with a spider. especially, one that is the size of a human hand ?

Fran is kept in a ten gallon tank with a fine wire mesh top . Even though she seems to like her surroundings. Fran has made attempts to escape by climbing up the side glass and trying to push the lid off. So far. her efforts have been unsuccessful. Let's hope that in this case practice doesn 't make perfect. The other dorm member s report that the spider is basically a dull and boring pet. spending most of it's time either crawling from one end of her tank to the other or, silently sitting staring back at her keepers.

Thurman was a great conversa tion topic ." People j ust wouldn't believe I had a pet alligator . They thought I was kidding until they came up and saw for themsel ves. " he sa id. " At first.

" It wasn't until the last month or so that he finally got used to dorm life. I'm reall y gonna miss him ." Despite what people might think. having an alliagtor as a pet isn't very dangerous at all. Although Thurman would snap at strangers occasionally. he was as calm as could be when among fa miliar faces, One of the onl y drawbacks is that they are not the kind of pet you can let run around the room . Larry comments. "Only once did I let him out of his tank . As soon as he got on the floor he scampered off. I had a heck of a time trying to catch him again." Larry sighed and finished by saying.

Tanya Hallez. co-advisor tor TOR, states "l feel that it is a great service to the community. bringing holiday cheer to people who rarely see much enjoyment. It's our idea of advancing the Christmas spirit!" Dr. Joseph Bellucci is "pretty impressed and pleased with what the sorority is doing." 'Qle co-advisor continues. "The service organization serves a good purpose and their projects are exceUenl. " This afternoon about 50 goldenagers will enjoy a Christmas party complete with Santa Claus. Sal Alaimo, homemade baked ·goods and gifts to lift their spirits a bit. Chairman for the party is Mary Ann Dorman. assisted by Roberta Price and Connie Zelinski. "One thing I ha ve notked at Wilkes is th at students become involved in their academ ic professfons too late. " Mrs. Madeleine Ca rlin. instructor of accounting. emphatic ally states . She feels that students relate too late in their academic career to their intended profession. " Ther e must be more inter action between students and th eir respective faculty members. Students should participate in the organization which corresponds to their major." she continues. "participation is crucial to overcome this weakness ." Mrs. Carlin has been a member of the Wilkes faculty for a year now and speaks quite fondly of the college. " I'm glad I'm here! I enjoy teaching and the students are terrific I The response from the faculty is marvelous and I wouldn ' t leave even though I've had many offers from public accounting firms." the enthusiastic instructor replies . Another of Mrs. Carlin'_s duties besides teaching· at Wilkes is the Acco,unting Internship _ Program. which is now under her direction. She feels that there was a tremendous response from the participating firms . "We placed sixteen students as interns and have expectations of that number going higher next year . . It was an excellent first year as far as the reorganization is concerned." Mrs. Carliri proudly comments . With the way Mrs. Carlin has It costs no more to buy from the finest ... taken an acti ve interest in the teaching of accounting and the profession one would think it was her first love. But. it wasn 't " I started studying voice at the age of twelve. l began at the Boston University majoring in music ( voice l and la ter transferred to the Manhatten School of Music where I graduated with a Bachelor of Music Degree." she explains. She stopped performing when she was married in 1964. " Quite frankly. I was not good enough to continue performing. Even if I dedicated my life to it. I would never have been great." the attractive faculty member admits. Mrs. Ca rlin began at the State University of Buffalo in 1974 pursuing her Master in Business Adminstration Degree ; she later transferred to Temple where she received her degree in 1978. "l have a 64 credit M.B .A. because I had to take undergraduate courses first as a means of preparation for the graduate degree. " theprofessor continues. "I felt it was important to understand the business field and through luck I found something that I truly love. Those four years spent receiving my M .B.A . were the smartest thing l 've ever done 1' ' In today's world there seems to be the question of married women working and bringing up a family at the same time. Mrs. Carlin feels that her going to school and working has not hindered her two · children. only helped them . "When I was going to school my husband ( a doctor l was in a training program so we sat side by side studying. The children were small and we were in the home with them ; they grew up in a total academic environment which has helped them'' she explains. Mrs. Carlin thinks that it is are just more used to a man to man relationship and have to readjust their ways to a man and woman business world . Her advice to women entering the profession is " use your talents. show high motivation and be well informed . Once a woman shows that she ca n do the job. she is readily accepted." Mrs. Carli n adds on an ending note. ·'I have had no problems working wi th men in my career ''' i\largarel Scholl Madeleine Carlin -., 'First Olympiad' becoming a wa y of life today for the woman to work. She feels that she is rather fortunate that her famil y has accepted the fact that she is working full-time. "I don't feel that the family will suffer ; the expectations will just differ." the instructor strongly states. " It is fantastic to see how the accounting profession is changing. I see .it as becoming very dynamic and flexible." she comments with a broad smile . The accounting professor perceives that the methods used in accounting are changing. and demands on the accountant as far as liabilities are different. "I tell my students. you don 't want to do what everyone else can do. be special and go after any type of job in the accounting field. " Mrs. Carlin relates . As Mrs. Carlin flashes another smile. she explains the problems that women face in accounting. "Older men are doing the hiring and they are just uncomfortable with employing women . Some men actually will not travel with women; even in the clientprofessional relationship there is hesitation." She thinks that men Seen As Tlaenae For Weekend Although Winter Weekend is not until next semester, Student Government is busy planning the . eventful three days.

According to Dr. Richard Rees, Director of Alumni Relations, this program has ·•two major focuses : The college's service to alumni, and the alumni's services to the college." These two focuses involve a variety of activities including. clubs. visitation programs, career assistance and recruitment of new students. The college serves its alumni in several ways, but many of the activities are socially oriented. For instance, a Tailgater's Club has been formed, whose memebers meet at the home football games in the fall. They usually get together about two hours before a game to socialize and eat a picnic lunch in the tailgating area near Ralston Field. According to Dr. Rees, this activity is becoming quite popular among the alumni. and about 40 people met before the Homecoming game in October. Several alumni services ha~ just been started within the past year. Last spring dur ing the weekend of graduation, the First Annual Spring Weekend was held. The events of the weekend featured tennis and golf tournaments. a shopping trip, a buffet dinner and a graduation party. The alumni also attended commencement exercises. Spring Weekend went very well, according to Dr. Rees, and the program may be expanded next year. Other alumni services are more educationally oriented . Wilkes is now a member of the Alumni College Visitation Program which offers alumni at participating colleges a chance to visit other colleges around fhe country. Although there are only a few colleges participating in the service now, Dr. Rees feels that it has a lot of potential. Alumni of participating colleges are invited to visit other participating colleges with their families. The visitors stay in the college residence halls and use many or the facilities of the college, which provides them with an opportunity to experience college life today. Participating colleges include Wilkes, Wheaton College in Massachusetts and Westminster College in Utah. Another educational service or: fered to alumni was "summerdays '79." which took place over two weekends during the summer. Included in this program were several adult and youth seminars. Among the Adult Seminars offered were, "ls a balanced budget possicoming events and a trip sponsored ble? " and a CPR course. The Youth by the Wilkes College Alumni Program included disco dance Association. The most recent trip lessons and cooking lessons.

This publication includes arfer their services to the college. ticles written by professors at the With approximately 11,000 active college and by the alumni. The Quarterly is written for the alumni alumni, the college has a major resource for such areas as career and contains features and informaassistance. recruitment and for tion about the coilege. in addition to finances. Wilkes is now starting news about alumni. Two features programs to make use of this that have just been added to the resource. Quarterly are an Alumni Bulletin One program through which Board which informs readers of up- alumni can help the college is the Wilkes College Alumni Referral by which an alumnus can refer up to three students to th ecollege. Wilkes then sends the students brochures and information about the student. " The reactions to referral have been tremendous," according to Dr. Rees. and some have expressed interest in actively recruiting students. As a result. Wilkes is currently developing a training program for those interested in recruitment. The program will inform alumni about the type of questions that high school students are asking. and what type of careers they are interested in. In addition to recruitment. alumni also help students already at Wilkes who have expressed interest in a certain career or jobs. The Career Assistance Program is designed to familiarize the student with various aspects or a job by discussing the job with an alumnus who has graduated and is working in that particular area. The Alumni Association arranges the meeting between the student and alumnus. Dr. Rees admits that many of these programs are "ambitious." but he feels that they hold a great deal of promise. l\Iary Ka~· Pogar UNIVE!f:AI.

Klaus Holm, Leonard Powlick and Jay Siegfried will lecture on their respective fields of expertise for one third of the semester. The ··team teaching" is an effort to help students to receive instruction on different aspects of the ... theater from different instructors who have experience in the theater. Dr. Thomas Kaska , head of the. Language and L iteratuer Department. believes that Wilkes is very fortunate to have theater instructors of such high caliber to teach the course, Klaus Holm has been involved in theater since the 1940's. However, lo be precise one might say he was involved before this lime. His mother. Hanya Holm, who was a choreographer and dance instructor got him involved in theater while he was young. He worked with designer Donald Oenslager for many years as consultant for theater facilities; and was involved in the design of some 24 theaters throughout the U.S. and abroad, including the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. He has done set design and lighting for at least 31 plays on Broadway and 40 professional operas. Mr. Holm will teach the technical BUY YOUR COLLEGE RING FOR .00 (and get a nic el change) NO KIDDING!

He will lecture on scene design. lighting and production techniques. Leonard Powlick received his M.A. in Theater Arts and his Ph.ff in dramatic literature from the University of Pittsburgh. He has had several articles published deal ing with theater history and dramatic criticisms. He will teach the history and the literary aspect of the theater for the course. According to Powlick theater is very complex and has various different aspects. The team teaching, " will give each instructor a chance to cover each section of the course more adequately," Pow lick states. The new setup. "Will showcase each aspect of theater and have the people who are best qualified teach these aspects,'' he adds. Powlick believes that one should study the past lo get a perspective on the present. He feels that a study of the history of theater will help students to understand what's going on in the theater today . In his section of the course the students will learn about past productions in the theater as well as the literary background that underlies every play which is brought to the stage. Jay Siegfried was the Director of Theater at Southern Seminary College before he came to Wilkes. He - has directed four productions in professional theater, three in community theater, over twelve college productions and acted in more than sixteen roles. He has been teaching courses in theater since 1967 and has had two papers published. Siegfried will take the acting and directing part of the course. He believes that the more people know about theater the better they are able to appreciate it. He has noticed that students know very little about live stage acting because they are least exposed to this kind of acting. Most students are very familiar with TV and movie acting but few have seen live stage productions. His intention. therefore. is to teach the students something about the process of the art of acting and directing. Siegfried see·s the "team teaching" as a way to get the best · use of the theater faculty. He believes the experience will help the instructors as well as the students, in that it will help each instructor to get to know each other and to compare te;iching techniques. " Theater is a cooperative field," Siegfried states, " This is a good chance to carry the cooperation over into the classroom. " These three men will each be responsible for the section which they begin the semester with, while the other two will be considered guest speakers in that section. The main reason behind the team teaching is to help students apprecia te theater more and possibly spark an interest in the theater program. · Bill Turcan NOTICE Friday night Miner Hall is sponsoring a party in the Student Center.

J a l a n g e n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- From The Corporate World To Wilkes College · Although most people on campus are familiar with the Polaroid SX70 camera, very few are aware of the fact that a Wilkes professor, Dr. Edwin Jahngen. is resonsible for the deveopment of the dye used in SX-70 film . The Assistant chemistry professor spent three years following his graduation from Bates College with the Polaroid Corporation. While with Polaroid his valuable reserach transformed a low priority experiment into a high priority project. which eventually led to five patents for Dr. Jahngen and Polaroid. Despite his success as a researcher at Polaroid. Jahngen decided to leave the corporation to pursue his doctoral degree at the University of Vermont, and later received his post doctorial degree from the University of British Columbia. Unable to fi nd a good teaching posilion. Jahngen secured a job with the New England Nuclear Corporation, where he found his work. with cancer chemotherapy and dnuerotransmitters to be "extremely fascinating." His desire to teach still strong, Jahngen left the Nuclear Corporation two years ago to accept a teaching position here at Wilkes. He explains his interest in teaching: "l enjoy seeing students develop new ideas. It's a great feeling to think I may be helping a student become a really good scientist." Also. teaching allows me to satisfy my own scientific curiousity. I get to how an why certain reactions work. I am also allowed to carry on my own reserach, although heavy course loads limit my time. Teaching offers the best of both worlds." The young chemist is totally honest when he discusses his relationship with his students. "The seniors are great to work with." he remarks. " but. the sophomores present quite a challenge." Jahngen finds working with senior chemistry majors very satifying . Practically every evening he can be found in his office. available to any student who may need his assistance. It is a great experience for me when one of my students NOTICE The Earth and En·vironmental Science Club (former Committee for a Clean Environment> is selling Einstein prn,ters and pamphlets.

" Teaching sophomores." he continues, "is something quite different. They are used to descriptive textbook chemistry rather than a dynamic chemistry. They often do not realize the importance of Jabs, and as a result, I must regiment the lab sessions. something I don't particularly like to do." Dr. Jahngen is very perceptive to the needs and intersts of his students. He realizes that many sophomores who take his class are not chemistry majors. but are students who must take his class to fulfill requriements in their discipline. He tries to alleviate such problems by making his course material adaptable to the interests •-•· of his students. "I am still trying to find the proper connectons that will bring it all together for my sophomore students. I hope I have been successful thus far. " It is obvious that J ahngen is very interested in research. and he does manage to do some research in between teaching classes and grading exams. Yet, he riotes, that the Wilkes chemistry department is not equipped to carry on strong research projects. He states. "Many people damn small colleges like Wilkes for not being research orientated. But low priority research shoudl not be seen as a fault of the college. Intensive research is just not included in the philosophy of the college. There is -absolutely nothing wrong with this." The chemistry professor explains that small colleges have advantages over larger universities. "The science department at Wilkes allows a student to find his or her place in the science world. by pro- Dr. Edwin Jahngen viding students with ·a good overview of what is going on in science. The chemistry department here is liberal arts orientated. Graduates can easily spin off into a variety of science related fields and are not limited to industrial research." He adds. "The chemistry department is dynamic and constantly changing to meet the needs of the students. This is possible only at a small college where the atmosphere is a personal one and professors have contact with their students." Dr. Jahngen's plans for the future may possibly include a carrer switch to the field of Bio-Chemistry. an area he is increasingly becoming interested in. "Or maybe." he concludes. "l may fulfill another dream and start a horse ranch in British Columbia."

What an opening week it was for the new winter sports coaches here at Wilkes ! Talk about opening night success. Our hats off to .he coaches and their new assistants for a great opening week of competition . First off. the men 's basketball team or Ron Righter opened its 1979-80 campaign with two victories over Delaware Valley (70-68 ) and FDU Madison (71-54 ) at home. When was the last time a Wilkes basketball team started a season 3-0'? The team displayed great enthusiasm. a no-show of past years. and despite playing " sluggishly," went out and downed Del Val in its first game. A sign of a good team is to win when you play bad. and that's what they did. In the second game. the Colonels were again bothered by .. sluggish " play in the first period. but came on in the second half to run away with the win. So, new coach Ron Righter. who has already enj oyed a super sports season with the cross country. is on his way to another successful year. The surprise of the week might have been the opening night encounter or the Wilkes women's team and new coach Nancy Roberts. The girls took on heavily.favored Lafayette. and dropped a narrow one-point 6160 decision to the bigger team . Diane Kendig had the crowd on its feet as she went over the I.OOOth career point mark ( the only girl in Wilkes history to do so ) with a 31 -point effort. It was an exciting game. and a "great effort" by the girls should not go unheralded. Arter opening night successes from the new basketball coaches and teams. the swimmers had their turn Saturday night and for the first time in history. defeated Ursinus College to open the 1979-80 season with a 1-0 slate. This is the same team which has had its problems in the last few seasons. but new head coach Bob Greenwa ld and new assistant Bob Lewis are doing a super job and the swinner s ship is now sailing smoothly. Captain Jim Edwards says the attitude is the best he's seen in many year s and most the swimmers are underclassmen which means there will be a bright future ahead for Wilkes College swimming. Again we send our best wishes to the new coaches and their teams for an exciting week of sport. But lets also credit two people for bringing those new coaches into Wilkes College - AD John Reese and Dor is Saracino. Well. everybody and their brother has come out with their basketball rankings, so here comes the BEACON's: We're going to go with Duke as number one. The Devils should have made the final four a year ago, and with Gene " I can pass" Banks leading the way, Bill Fosler should get his national title this year. 2. Notre Dame. You have to like the Irish's chances as almost everyone returns and Digger has helped himself with some top recruits. Kelly Tripucka (known as "Mr. Ed" on the ND campus ), is now sporting an afro. and says he should increase his scoring this season. Key to ND will be play of guards Rich Branning and 6-7 Bill Hanzlik and ND has the best PA announces in the business. 3. Indiana. Because Bobby Knight is Tough. with a capital T. Any · coach that makes the team run through wooden chairs in practice. is tough and mean. The Hoosiers want to prove to everybody. especially Puerto Rico, that they can win a national championship. 4. Belmont Abbey. Could be surprise of the year. Have a weak schedule and are a weak team, so anything can happen, right ? 5. DePaul. I can't Jet DePaul out of the top five. Ray Mayer packs a tougher team than his final four unit of a year ago. Look for burly freshman Mark Aguirre to have a super year along with top-notch freshman Teddy Grubbs and Terry Cummings. The Blue Demons will be out to give 66-year-old Meyer his national title. . 6. Kentucky. You got like Kentucky's chances. With Dwight Anderson (the guy who single-handidly killed Notre Dame last year ) back along with seven-foot freshman Sam Bowie, who has put a lot of weight on. the Wildcats of Joe Hall could walk away with a championship . 7. UCLA. Only if they fire Larry Brown and bring back John Wooden . If not. then forget this ranking and move on to the next. 8. St. John's. Something tells me, this could be the year of the Redmen . Loouuuie Carnesecca has two or the top guards in the nation in Reggie Carter and Bernard Rencher. Center Wayne McKoy is a good best for All-American. I can hear Marv Albert now. "The Red men are national champions. yesss and it counts." 9. Marquette. They have the best guard in the nation in sudden Sam Worthen. Worthen is 6-5 and can handle the ball reall_y well. He should be a top pro draft pick. Coach Hank Raymonds loves the under-dog role as hardly anybody is picking the Warriors in the top twenty this year. But. remember the same thing happened last year and the Warriors came within only a few points of knocking off DePaul in the NCAA Tournament. 10. Syracuse. Roosevelt Bouie is the main man here and they want to prove to people that last year's choke in the NCAA tournament was a fluke. The Bouie and Louie Show should keep Eastern Basketball fans alive this season. Louie is a Louis Orr. an under-rated player. The Orangemen should have a good season . �Page 1-1, The Beacon, December 6, 1!17!1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------, !

Due to the Beacon's deadlines. we can't tell you whether the Wilkes College men's basketball team is 4-0. 3-1 or 2-2 after last night's game with King's. Before press time. all we knew is that the team started the year with two wins and took a 2-0 league and overall slate into Monday's game at Pharmacy and yesterday's war with King's College. Regardless. the team has only two games left before the January "Colonel Classic " and they are Dec. 11 at Lycoming College for a Middle Atlantic Conference tilt and here Dec. 14 when the Blue and Gold host a very good East Stroudsburg Stale College unit. By now. the word must have spread that the Wilkes men's basketball team has opened the year with two straight wins. And when 's the last time that ever happened ? Maybe in the Jim Atherton days? * The Colonels should have downed Pharmacy Mqnday evening to take a 3-0 slate into the King's game. But. who knows? They say the sign of a good team is when you win when you play lousy. Well last Thursday. the Colonels did play lousy and did win. 'the "Main man" Kendall McNeil was plagued by off-shooting. hitting only three of 14 field goal attempts Way'' -- -- --and tallied only eight points. but Wilkes won by two. Big gun against the Aggies was j unior guard 6-5 Mike McCarrie. who poured in 26 tallies on 12 shooting. McCarrie added eight rebounds to the cause . How will Wilkes fill the void left by the nation's number three rebounder of a year ago - John Zapko. who graduated ? Share. that's how. In addition to McCarrie's eight. other rebounders included : McNeil seven. Tony Madden nine. J.J. Walker eight. and little Pat McCue pulled down four. · Another key to the opening night win was the play of Madden. a transfer from Temple. where he played . only football the last two seasons. Tony scored 19 points against Del Val had two assists and a steal and played just a great overall floor game - making things happen. Walker had 12 points in the win. In the second game. against FDU Madison. Wilkes showed · its true meaning of team ball. You look at your " Big-Time" NCAA champions - Michigan State. Indiana. etc .. They all have good players who play well together and high scorer usually has 16 points in an attack where everybody scores and it is a balanced offense. That's what happened Saturday as Wilkes displayed a winning Working-Now -----~- = team-play which led them to the 71-:. 54 verdict over FDU Madison. Kevin Walker. on six of seven shooting from the field. led all scorers with 16 points followed by Kendall McNeil with 12. Mike McCarrie with ten and Artie Meigh coming off the bench for ten. Madden had eight as did Pat Romich. The Wilkes bench was impressive Saturday as the " bomb squad" helped open up the Colonels' lead. Ron Morel had avery good game making things h1 ppen and doing the things well that don't show up in the scorebook . Romich came on lo spare McNeil for a while and did an excellent job. Dave Capin enjoyed a fine game against FDU, looking awesome on the boards and hitting some clutch free throws. But. Meigh was the key. Artie. a senior guard. came off the bench with Wilkes leading by only six with ten minutes left to play. He then hit a few "rainmaking" jumpers and with help from fellow bomb squad members, Wilkes was up for good by 20 points. " Art had a fine game," said Righter after the win . "The bench really showed a lot out there. those guys want to win." TIP-INS: .... three freshmen Hoss Zanghi.

"daff'" P ~Wi I George the Marine To Lead Blue & Gold MAC ALL-STAHS: The Middle Atlantic Conference has announced its annual coaches all-star team . Wilkes College has placed three of its grid members on the first team and three were named to honorable mention. Making the all-star first-team for the second straight year is junior running back Carmen LoPresto. along with first-timers end Hob Irwin and defensive lineman Ed Mollahan. Earning honorable mention were : linebacker Mike Patrick, safety Bob Luby and offensive lineman Chip llicks. Shown above in the first row, left to right. are Irwin. LoPresto and Mollahan. Below are Patrick. Luby and Hicks. Best Wishes to all! When Wilkes College men 's basketball coach Ron Righter sees his team in trouble this year. now he can really call out for the "Marines." George Banas. a 1975 graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, who went into the Marines for three years, is listed as a 6-4 freshman forward on the Wilkes Basketball team. Banas is a former high school standout for the Argents under Chet Hine where he teamed with Kevin Flaherty and Dan Frascella ( now at King's) to form the "Big Three' which led Hoban in the 1974-75 season. Upon graduation. George enlisted in the Marines and spent time in Okinowa and Korea . It was in Okinowa, where he got his nowfamous, " bull-dog" tattoo on his right arm . After the three Marine years, George spent a year helping his father at a local gas station. Then he ran into a , former Hoban classmate - Joel Kane. Kane. also involved in the Marines, told George about Wilkes and its benefits for veterans and how Kane has participated in football the last three seasons for Rollie Schmidt. He was one of this past year's grid quad-captains. "Joel was the one who got me to go back to school. And I really didn't think about basketball at first. I just wanted to continue my education," said George. "Then h~ suggested I try out for basketball .•· It had been four long years since Banas played organized basketball and Coach Ron Righter admits it took George a while to get back into things. " He started out slow at first, but has really worked hard. He worked very hard in our pre-season running drills and he now gives us a "power" rebounder ore the bench," says Righter. " It feels a little bit funny coaching George," adds Righter, "because I'm only a few years older than him, but he's geen great. The players look up to him and they even have a nickname for him bull-dog, after his tattoo." " I'm now getting back into the swing of things, basketball-wise that is," admits George. " I just hope we have a winning season, and I know one thing the attitude of the team is just great. " How will he feel going against a former high school team-mate Frascella when Wilkes and King's meet this year. " It should be pretty funny. Dan is a good player and I hope the games are- as exciting as last seasons." Banas finished his three-year hitch with the Marines as a corporal. He is the son of George and Florence Banas, 319 Wyoming Street, Wilkes-Barre. So if your at a Wilkes game this year and you hear Ron Righter calling for " The Marine", you'll know what to expect.

A common agenda was drawn up for the meeting. which included topics that both or ganizations usually discuss at their regular meetings. Although CC and IDC work together on many events throughout the year . this was the fi rst time that both or ganiza tion s met together as one body. At the meeting, G,,C and IDC presented several committee reports. IDC President Mike Stapleton stated that the Student Center Board will hire bartenders from the SCB to work at parties in the center. r ather than having people from the organization sponsor ing the party behind the bar. This change was decided upon since the equipment at the bar is new and expensive. and " they don't want j ust anyone back there." accord ing to -Stapleton. Mike Sibi lia. Vice President of IDC, also reported that the Student Center Board will be working through a distributor in obtaining beer for parties . Sibilia cited several advantages to this arrangement. such as obtaining decora- , tions like antique m irrors and signs for the basement of the center through the distributor. A report from the Student Life Committee concerning Co-Ed Housing was also given. Stapleton stated that he and Sibilia have sent letters to various colleges with Co-Ed Housing. and have been receiving some response. Stapleton will prepare a report on the Co-Ed Housing over the Christmas break to be presented sometime next semester . Bill Miller.

Ralston noted that the safety of their families in Iran and their own safety topped the students' list of concerns. The Dean went on to add that after numerous meetings, it was decided that. " .. .everybody keep a low profile." It seemed that this was the best posture the students could take in dealing with international as well as local incidents. When asked how the students were handling the added pressure, Ralston said that many of them mentioned difficulty in concentrating on their studies, with a few experiencing ' sleepless nights. Considering all their problems. the Dean of Student Affairs concluded. " The Iranian students are reacting in a very orderly way. I think they are handling it very well.

November 2!1. rn7!1 Wilkes Grapplers Club · Boosts Wrestling Spirits " The Grapplers Club is like a booster club for wrestling." slated John Reese. Wrestling Coach. "I've been at Wilkes for twenty-seven years. and I started what is now the club as a newsletter so I could keep in touch with old wrestlers. People who can't get back to the area enjoy reading the newsletter. Then. the local people asked me if it would be possible to form some type of club ." Actually. the club · has been established for about fifteen years. and the newsletter reaches about 275 people. Of these 275 people. between fifty and seventy - five pay dues of $25 per year. This membership dues entitles the member to a free pass to all wrestling meets and social events. The dues are used to many purposes. one of which includes contributing to a scholarship for wrestlers . The dues are also used towards printing the newsletter and programs for the me~. a bus trip to another wrestling meet. and parents day for wrestlers and their parents. which includes a buffet and social hour. Reese stated. however. that the Grapplers Club has not been financially active for the fifteen years it has been in existence. The Grapplers Club also holds fund raising events to raise money for wrestling scholarships. One of these was the recent Old-Timers Meet held on Saturday. November 17. They also back and support the wrestling team and help uphold interest. The Newsletter plays an important role in the Club also. It brings news of the Wilkes Wrestling Team to former members who are not presently in the area. Mr .. Reese commented. " Most of them like to find out what's happening currently at Wilkes. A lot of people are in: lerested and follow it." The. newsletter comes out five l imes a year. three times during the seasn Jnd two times in the off-season. The Grapplers Club itself is composed of a good number of alumni. ilUt local citizens are encouraged lo ,oin . There is a meeting held in the . :ieginning of the year. late :-eptember - early October. and about three other meetings are scheduled throughout the year. Although only about fifteen lo twenty people actually attend the meetings. Reese stressed the good interest the alumni have in the club and newsletter. President of the Grapplers Club is Clayton Karembellas. a local businessman and 19-19 graduate of Wilkes. Mike Daney. whose son is also a graduate of Wilkes. is VicePresident. and Art Hoover is Secretary-Treasurer. An important outgrowth of the Grapplers Club is one of a recruiting · nature.

Liaaits Co-Op Cre~its Allowed In a recent announcement. the Commerce and FinanceDepartment has decided to limit credit given to Business Administration or Accounting majors involved in the Cooperative Education Program. The department has decided to grant three credits which can be used as free elective credits . Prior to this decision. Commerce and Finance majors could take up to twelve credits in the Cooperative Education program . According to the memo distr ibuted by Dr. Howard Williams. acting chairman of the department. the faculty's unanimous decision was based on several factors. One factor was that accounting internships are given three credits for their wor~ which lasts from 8 to 12 -weeks. Another reason given in the statement was that night courses are available to the student who has either an internship or a cooperative education job. so it is possible for these students l o receive more than the three credits from their off-campus experience. Al so given as a reason fo the decision was the belief that ~OTl('E There will be a meeting of all spring l!ll!O student teachers on Tuesday . December -1, 1!17!1, in the Mezzanine of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Preforming Arts from II a.m. to 12 noon . If you are planning to student teach this coming year you must attend this meeting. some students may be using cooperative educat ion credits as a way to avoid cours•~s outside of the Commerce and Finance cur. riculum. Finally. the memo state,: that at other schools with 1 cooperative education program. no credit is given for co-op experienct . Robert . Koester. director of the Cooperative Education program. stressed. "Cooperative Education is not just a tool to get credits. the student gets valuable experience which is good for his career as well as his classroom learni11!;." He further noted that a student involved in the program must submit weekly reports as well as a term project. similiar lo a research paper on his experience. This Commerce and Finance ' department decision is an interim policy with a permanent policy to be decoded on later. Other departments have not changed their policy in regard to cooperative education credit with advisor approval. In other departments. a student may earn six credits in his or her major as well as six elective credits. with departmental approval. The interim policy oi granting three credits will not affect students enrolled in the program this fall. It will . however. be put into effect with the start or the spring semester.

They are giving up their Accounting and Engineering and taking up Space Invaders 101 . As_ the_ semester _goes on. the game room of the Student Union Building is gammg m popularity . It is nothing for students to skip their lunch and head upstairs for some Flash or a quick game of German Football (Fooseball i. It is almost as common to see someone cut class because he has a good game going on the Space Invaders machine. With the increase in popularity_of this game in particular. long lines form behind the machine and you might have a ten or fifteen minute wait lo gel lo the machine. Then. if you are good. it takes about five to ten minutes before you finally lose. Let's face it faculty. your classes interfere with our games. However. the administration has come up with a way lo make this situation profitable for the college . It hasn 't been formally announced yet. but next fall. Game Room will be listed as an elective for the fall semester. The reasoning for this move is simple. The average student spends about a dollar day l n the game room. Over a semester this comes out to between • seventy lo one hundred dollars. However. by making it an elective and offering three credil.s for it. they can charge two hundred and twenty-five dollars for the semester. Get the picture. a big money maker for the school. If the course is popular enough. there is talk of making it into a major. But that is still in the future. The only drawback lo this scheme is what can you do with a degree in Space Invaders '? I _don't have the answer to that question but I can tell you where you might fmd it. Head upstairs in the S.U .B. and ask someone who seems to be spending more time there than they do in class.

First Siegfried Productio11 · The Wilkes Theater will present " When You Comin' Back. Red Ryder?". powerful and exciting drama directed by Jay Siegfried. on December 6th through 8th at the Dorothy Dickson Darle Center for the Performing Arts. The play takes place in a diner in sleepy south'e r New Mexico. where an array of characters has gathered on a Sunday morning. Into the diner comes a cruel but charismatic character named Teddy, who proceeds to terrorize and brutalize all those who have gathered there. Teddy walks into the other character lives and becomes the catalyst who causes many confrontations and realizations among those present in the diner. Throughout the play there are references co past American heroes including Western heroes such as Roy Rogers and baseball hero. Mickey Mantel. Teddy holds up these past heroes for everyone to see and then topples them with the realization that all the heroes are gone. Siegfried sees the play as a true depiction of the American culure. America. like the characters in the play . has been pushed and shoved by just about every country since World War II and has continually backed off until it has been backed into a corner and must fight or give in. He believes the recent Iranian incident is one example of this. Siegfried has compared the play to Sherwood Anderson's "Petrified Forest" and Peter Bogdonovich 's " The Last Picture Show" and sees the same ideas running through them. The play is set in 1969. but was written around 1974. which makes it a very recent play . It received the Off Broadway and Circle Critics awards in 1974. T,he playwright a --••J...- contains such elements as action. drama. heroism and emotional conflict which combine' to make the production a gripping experience. The cast, in order of appearance. includes: Chris Lonstrup as Stephen. Adele Tavella as Angel. John . Salwitz as Lyle. Mike Breakstone as Clark. Tara Buckingham as Clarisse. Bill Turcan as Richard . Paul Kerrigan as Teddy and Donna Pioppi as Cheryl. Direction is by Jay Siegfried and set design by Klaus Holm, with a building and running crew made up of Wilkes students. Mark Meddoff is still teaching theater courses in a college in New Mexico. Siegfried believes that college students will be able to identify with and understand the play. All the characters except one are young people and should be easily identified with by the audience. The values and conflicts dealt with in the play are modern and the situations are tense and action packed. There are no small parts and no throw away roles. Every part creates an artistic challenge and has an important function in the overall production. _The play also 'Phoenix' To Perform At Christmas Party those planning to participate in the Christmas Program at Retreat, this Thursday night at 8 o'clock on the first floor of Weckesser Hall .

Page~. The Beacon, November :!!I. l!li!I Please D~n't Litter This year' s annual Gong Show held Saturday. November 17. 197!l was presented to a Standing Room Only crowd in the CPA. The general reaction to the £1-iow was poor. Even the sponsors o( the show. Student Government's Social Committee. feel that the idea of the show has been worn out on this campus and should be discontinued. We agree. What bothers us. however. is the total lack of respect towards the college property exhibited by some of those who attended. In the CPA itself, many beer bottles and cans were found and trash was scattered about. In the men's rest room a paper towel dispenser was emptied leaving a mess and a metal partition was bent pulling its bolts from the wall. Participants in the show apparently had little respect for the theater, too. The backstage area was cluttered with beer bottles, cigarette butts. and beverage spills. The dressing rooms which are "located downstairs beneath the stage were left in much the same condition. Al Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs, seriously considered banning Student Government from sponsoring such events in the CPA again. Last year's Gong Show was held at the Ircm Temple located on North Franklin Street in the city. Due to the condition of that f?cility after that show SG w~ told that they would not be able to sponsor the show there in the future. Due to the nature of the show we realize that a rowdy crowd is usually drawn. Let's face it, half the fun of the show is the audience reaction to the acts. However. there is a difference from being enthusiastic to going bonzo. Respect for college property comes first. This problem simply could have been a lack of sufficient security for the CPA. Whether this was SG's responsibility or the Theater Department's is still another question to answer. Events like the Gong Show are good alternatives to add to the social life of Wilkes but if this means destroying school pmperty maybe other alternative should be considered. Gooooo Wilkes!!! It doesn't seem like it, but it has been one year since those "wild and crazy" King's College - Wilkes College men's basketball games. Last year for the first time in 25 years the two local colleges met in a regular season game and the Monarchs came away with two wins. winning at home by two and here by four. On Wednesday, December 5, 1979. the two teams will meet again at the King's Gym on North Main Street. Like last year the game will be televised on WBRE at 8 p.m. Last year the King's Gym was packed with Monarch supporters. We would like to see a lot of Wilkes faculty and students on hand at the game. It is the battle for the "City" championships. Win or lose, the two teams will square off again on January 23, 1980 here.

While it is unquestionably acceptable for a critic to deem a performance "horrible". I feel that he or she also has a responsibility to the reader to justify his or her claims. It is also a critic 's duty to take into account the intentions of the author and cast in their presentation as well as their subsequent dramatization. Margaret Scholl 's review of the Gong Show fails on both these counts. I refer specifically to her review of "Organized Noise " . of which I was a member. It was our intention to be. musically. "horrible" . thereby satirizing the current wave of junk or .punk rock music . We desired. simply. to make you laugh and friends in the audience convinced me that we indeed. for the most part. served our purpose: wasn't fun and humor the basic intention of presenting the Gong Show? Anyone who did not find himself or herself amused by our act could not be assumed to be a member of · the "norm" group of college students; it was our desire to perform for our "peers." Had we known that a Junior Rex Reed was going to review us based on extracollegiate standards and values. we would not have bothered to perform at all. To those of you who said that our act was enjoyable. "Thank you"! To those who thought our performance to be "horrible'', I can only apologize that we were not more explicit in stating our central satirical intention. without which you obviously could not see through the facade. I do not question Ms. Scholl's right to criticize a performance as she sees fit; I only criticize her fnr judging "Organized Noise" from such a shallow perspective.

The Beacon. November 2!1. mm Album Review With this Christmas season here, there are so many new albums the buyer has to choose from that instead of one album review. five reviews might be a help in selecting presents for those people "who have everything." THE OUTLAWS - "EYE OF THE STORM" America 's "Guitar Army " is back better than ever. ··Eye of the Storm " contains some of the best guitar work you will hear anywhere by anyone. Gone from ihe Outlaws is the country flavored sound of earlier albums. Replacing it is some of the finest rock and roll around. Some of the highpoints of the album include "Miracle Man". a song written by Elvis Costello, " It's All Right" and ''Come on and Dance." · Throughout the entire album. the intensity never wavers . Great music for parties and other evening activities. MOLLY HATCHET-"FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER". After an enormously successful debut LP. Molly Hatchet is back with an album even better than·the first. This album contains some of the best rock to come out of Florida since the Outlaws. Some have compared their sound to Lynard Skynard. but Molly Hatchet has a sound all their own. It can best be classified as some of the best rock you have ever heard. The guitar wor~ is incredible. * Best cuts are the tit-le cut. which if released might be a successful single. and "One Man's Pleasure" . and "Jukin' City", two cuts which really show what Molly Hatchet is all about. Watch for them at the John Long Center. in Scranton, on December 2. Tickets may still be available. TOTO - "HYDRA" This , the band's second album. although less commercial than the first. continues the style Toto has become famous for. "A ll Us Boys" is a typical Toto rocker along the same vein as "Hold the Line" and "I 'll Supply the Love". The rest of the album is a little different. The group is taking new and different directions with the rest of the album. There are rhythm and blues styled songs, something Toto has never attempted. The album is an original effort. and is very well done. If you liked Toto's first album , you might be a little disappointed with " Hydra". but don 't use it as a frisbee right away . Listen to the album first. It is really excellent. FOG HAT - "BOOGIE MOTEL" From the opening bars of ··somebody's Been Sleepin' in My Bed " . the listener knows he has picked up a Foghat classic . The album may be their best effort since " Fool For the City." It contains some really good rock in the Foghat Tradition of slide guitar and scorching vocals . My favorite cut is " Somebody 's Been Sleepin' in My Bed." There are, however. many other excellent cuts, including the title and the single "Third Time Lucky", which may help otherwise disappointing sales of a very good album . TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS "DAMN THE TORPEDOES" This album should finally establish Tom Petty as one of the premier acts in today 's music. The album contains some very fine hard rock . Along with Petty's unique vocals, some fine writing is made evident throughout the album. Petty should be recognized as a leading force as we approach the eighties. This album should once and for all make him a headline attraction . Listen to the cut "Refuge". It could be considered one of the classics of progressive music. because it is that good. The rest of the album is also excellent. and will definitely sell well. If someone you know really likes progressive music. tell him or her to give this album a shot. They won't be sorry!

One of the objectives. to reduce attrition and help students complete their college work. deals with the decline in the verbal skills of entering freshmen. and at least some graduating seniors. According to the self study report introduction of remedial courses and the Act IOI program s are attempts by the college to." . . . pro- STAIRCASE LOUNGE PlTTSTON -PLAZ\ A_ j ) TONIGHT BEER BASH vide academic opportunity tor students who show promise despite deficiencies in thei r academic or cultural background and-or for those who ha·ve serious financial problems.'' In dealing with The Student Body. the self-study report has noted that the number of commuting ·students who attend the college has decreased. According to the report,". . . this is a resul t of the successful development and expansion of the Luzerne coun ty Community College and the fact that three Catholic col leges in the area. King's. Misericordia. and Scranton University. have become co-educational institutions within the past decade." Within the last three years. resident enrollm ent has increased greatly. Because of this. the report stated that. " . .. about half the student body now represents more.distant areas of Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States." In an attempt to get extended feedback from the student body , the college initated a " Student Opinion Survey" which was developed by the American College Testing Service. After contacting about 25 percent of the college population. the l wo areas of greatest concern to the students were the quality of food service. and availability of offstreet parking. According to the study. "These topics have been of concern to the administration for some time and gradual improvements have been implemented over a long time period."

In the section of the report dealing with The Faculty. it was noted that out of the 155 full-time Faculty. 84 are tenured. with 32 holding the rank of full professor. There are 44 associate professors. 68 assistant professors and 11 members maintaining the rank of instructor. A December 1978 survey of 133 fac ulty members revealed that the highest percentage of tenured personnel were in the fine arts program, and that. 35 percent of the faculty responding were involved in scholarly activity and the same percent published in the past three years." organizations .

The Board of Trustees. which is legally responsible · for the college. works with various committees and the president to establish policy. provide financial resources to maintain educational programs and evaluate the effectiveness of the institution. The Institutional Facilities section of the sel f-study ,describes various aspects of the many buildings on campus. It mentions cultural facilities such as the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts and the Sordoni Art Gallery, as well as identi- fying the significance of such instruments as the radio station. WCLH and the Manuscript. In addition. this section deals with residen ce halls, conditions of the facilities are discussed. food service. health service. and custodial. maintenance and security services. Educational Resources of the college were determined to be involved with eight sub-topics including: Library. Computer Center. Cur· riculum Innovation. Academic Skills Center. Career Planning and Placement. Financial Aid. and Athletics and Physical Education . The report noted that the library exceeds the requirements suggested by the Association of College and Research Libraries. It also pointed out the need for more finan cial aid. a bigger staff. and better equipment in order for the· Academ ic Skills Center to excel. Concluding this section. the report stressed the need for an analysis " . . . to determ ine whether or not the College can afford or should support the many separate activities in intercollegiate competition ." Concluding the self-study is a chapter on Financial Resources . It describes in detail the budget cycle of the college which extends from June I through May 31. The section ends with a discussion of the Management of the Endowment Fund . as well as the attraction of New Resources which the Board of Trustees has urged the college to expand alumni relations. · The final part of the self-study contains numerous graphs and tables which correlate with the preceeding chapters . The self-study report totals 106 pages plus an ap· pendix . Anyone wishing to take an indepth look at the study may do so at the library where a copy is available for reference .

Iranian government should be more willing to negotiate with the United States and less rigid in their demands. Tom~~ l!rnsrvite--The situation in Iran is one which should have never been allowed to progress to its current point. At fi rst notification of the siege: this government should have allowed a contingent of daring enthusiast to immediately embark upon a rescue mission . Valuable time was lost. which prevented such an action. since we had been previously assured of diplomatic safety by the Iranian government. If our main concern is the safety of the remaining hostages. diplomacy is our only course of action . F'orce will only serve to cause their deaths. If they should be harmed. though Iran will suffer greatly under the military might of the United States. !\like i\lc('arrie--The economical freeze that President Carter put on Iran's capital investments here in the United States was the most . strategic move he could have made next to inciting war. If the hostages were not going to be released his next step would be to cut off food exports to Iran . This might cripple the Iranian nation. Gina Whitr--I feel the Iranian people are going a bout the situation the wrong wa y. They should use more diplomatic procedures than result to terrorism . Gino lhlewski--It 's about time our government officials took a stand and said the heck with pleasing the whole world and worried more about restoring dignity to the greatest country in the world. Just the fact that a country as small and un-powerful as Iran has coused such great embarrassment to us is bad enough . We must now set a precedence for the rest of the world by making an example and bring Iran to its knees. Right now. it seem that the proposed economic wa r is perhaps the best solution. However. if we had a man in the oval office with some guts rather than a mouthful of teeth. he would have seized the opportunity at the beginning and invaded Iran with a show of face the likes of which the world has never seen and now it would be up to us who would be giving the orders rather than some band or militant gypsies . Murphy's Law ................. . If anything can go wrong, it will . Corollaries: 1. Nothing is as easy as it looks. 2. Everything takes longer than you think. 3. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. 4. If you percieve that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong. and circumvent these, then a fifth way will p-romptly develop. / 5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. 6. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. 7. Every solution breeds new problems. 8.

Schulman Receives Joint Appoinhnent In English And Communications With a joint appointment in Communications and English. Dr. Norma Schulman is the newest addition to the Department of Language and Literature. Dr. Schulman feels that theory and content are important in any communications curriculum. She sees the program here as good training for students planning to enter the communications field. She · continued that the requirements in computer science is very p_ractical, especially in this age of advanced technology. Literature courses also help involve a communications students in a broader understanding of message production and its effect on the attitudes of the public. In fact. Dr. Schulman sees the fields of literature and communications as related and she hopes courses that span both disciplines will be offered in the future . Although a good education is important. Dr. Schulman believes that the purpose of college is to supplement experience and not supplant it. Not everything can be done in college and some training should be left for after graduation. This technical experience can only be realistically learned on the job, stated Dr. Schulman. Writing is also a very vital tool and Dr. Schulman feels the Communications Studies curriculum allows a student extensive practice . -- in writing while at the same time provides intensive training in the skill. When asked why she came to Wilkes College, Dr. Schulman stated that she is partial to a broad program for liberal arts education, such as the one offered here. Because of her joint appointment, Dr. Schulman will be teaching English and Communications courses in the future. Presently she is teaching several sections of composition only because she became part of the faculty after scheduling had been completed. There was also a need for a composition teacher this semester. One of the courses Dr. Schulman will teach in the spring is Introduction to Broadcasting. She will also be part of a faculty team which will teach the senior seminar. Com·munications in an Open Society, next fall. Dr. Schulman's credentials include a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and a Master of Science degree in Broadcasting from Boston University. She has also earned her Ph.D . from Tufts University in English and American Literature. Her areas of specialization are Creative Writing, Communications, Twentieth Century English and American Literature, and . Shakespearian Drama. She has also had several critical works published. Dr. Schulman sees communications as a growing field with many opportunities for college graduates in a variety of areas of specialization. She hopes more students will also see the value of the program .

What started as a "this could be the year" season with high hopes. ended on a downer· as the Colonel gridders dropped their last two outings (21-7 to Juniata and 8-7 blunder to Susquehanna I to finish the campaign with 4-4 slate. Well it wasn ' t a losing year. but it wasn 't a winning one either. It was as the record indicates a .500 year. You win some. you lose some. Here we were four up and four down. The Colonels of Rollie Schmidt will lose a lot via graduation as almost the whole defense moves on to better things. Two of the defensive bright spots of 1979. which will be back next year include junior defensive end Ed Mollahan and sophomore safety Rob Luby. Luby set a school record this season with nine interceptions. Anoth er school record was set defensively. thi s one for th e most qua rter back sacks in a season .

His 24 points against FDU Madison tied the mark held by Leo Castle and Ted Yeager: his four touchdowns in that game lied the record for most scores held jointly by Yeager and Castle and then he macle real history. " Homer's" 210 yards on the ground against FDU became a school record smashing the previous total of 172 held by Paul Purta and Yeager.

The ballots from the election were not counted and they will be destroyed. At a special meeting of SG's executive council last Thursday, the candidates were reminded of the election regula- . tions. The new election will be held today from 11:00 to 1: 00 in the Student Center, and from 4:30 to 6:30 in the cafeteria. Blumfield commented that last Thursday there was a large turnout for the election and he hopes to see a similar turnout today. In a related matter, Shep Wilner presented his first draft of a proposed new rule for elections. The rule would prohibit the placement of any campaign material off campus. Once again, vandalism on campus was an important topic at the meeting. Mike Stapleton mentioned that during the past weekend several windows and door handles have been broken at Pickering Hall. In the discussion that followed it was pointed out that last Saturday night someone took a half-keg of beer and some soda fro11_1_ the Student Center basement which the Biology Club intended to use for a party. It was also noted that someone tried to break into the Student Center through the kitchen window. Furthermore, after the "Gong Show" last Saturday, it was discovered that a partition has been knocked down in one of the men's rooms. Also, it was reported that there was drinking going on backstage during the show. The social committee felt that the "Gong Show" has been played out and they recommend that the show not be held next year. The committee added that the profits from the show will go for a coffee house to be held December 13. hi fund requests, SG voted 10-11-1 on a motion that would have _given $215 to the racquet ball club to help defray the costs of membership at Royal Courts Racket Ball Club.

Patti Sparlow New Facts In SCB Break-In Cause_Conflicting Opinions A number of interesting facts have been'brought to light concerning the break-in which occured in the Student Center Building two weeks ago, between 9:00 p.m. Friday, October 26 and noon Saturday, October 27. It was last reported that entrance to the building was gained with relative ease because the two dead bolts were not thrown. Tom Martin, the night manager, and John Lukachko, a security guard, both · echoed this ·detail. Martin explained, "Our only concern is locking up the kitchen area of the building. The rest of the doors are left for security to lock up. Maureen Martin, day manager of the building, was Jocking up the whole building when we closed at 4:00 p.m. on Fridays, but then was told not to. The weekend of the robbery was the first time she didn't lock the whole place up." . _ According to Luk~o, it is not security's job to lock up the building. "Mainte(!ance is supposed to lock the -ioors; security has nothing to do with we Student Center. We mostly patrol the campus to see that no trouble happens and check the dorm~.to assure the safety of the students." Joe Prescenes, the maintenance man who locked the building the night of the break-in, stated, "Maintenance controls the keys to all the buildings and locks all the buildings." When asked to explain his version of what happened that night, Prescenes replied, "Nocomment." Dave Kerek, Student Center Director, discovered the break-in and robbery and informed security, who in turn reported it to the police. Martin was not aware of the break-in until 3:00 Sunday afternoon. "I come in every Sunday afternoon, and every Sunday after a party the night before, the doors of the building are open, but no one is in the building. One of these days, someone is going to drive up in a truck, carry out all the furniture, and drive away with it." Martin went on to sav that he hastomplained, but so far has gotten no results. Lukachko explained that there are three main zones of patrol, with one man assigned to every zone. The first zone includes the area between the Hotel Sterling and the Student Cente~i . iAiN -$80.00 PER MONTH Plasma, the liquid portion of your blood is a much needed product that only YOU can supply!

"Each round takes between an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes to patrol. The guaras check in every ten minutes by hitting a key which gets recorded on atime clock. As soon as the guards· are finished with the round, they start the same procedure again," concluded Lukachko.

Personally selected by Cousteau out of a number of candidates, Rigley described "Project Ocean Search" as being much like the Environmental Protection Agency, in that its goal is to educate people about the environment. As Director of Science, Rigley's primary responsiblity was to see that the science format of the project adhered to the standards of the Couteau Society. These standards focused principally on the biological accuracy of the various forms of research which includeq pollution, land, ocean and estuary investiga- tions. animal behavior, sounds are produced Conducting most of its experiments when fish rub bone parts together or out of Hilton Head, South Carolina, vibrate the muscles on their swim "Project Ocean Search" was directed blatter. at the total marine environment.

He explains, "I have misgivings about leaving the people at Wilkes but -~~r~~~:er:p~~un~~::o~!~!~d~~~ Wilkes College brought me in contact with such good people from the president and the faculty to the students." As far as accomplishments go, Rees feels that he has accomplished quite a lot and thinks that it will be a big job to maintain the programs and projects that he has set up. Rees's new position has the twoprong combination of teaching and administering. He will be administering management training workshops as well as administering a program for the doctors and nurses at the hospital. According to Tanya Hallez, Assistant Director of Alumni Relations, "Working with Dr. Rees was one of the best learning experiences that could have been offered to me.

Presently, only the ones living here illegally will be sent back to Iran. This situaton has touched the college in several ways. First, on Friday an anti-Iranian banner was hung from Parrish Hall. Thesecond incident concerned a threatening phone call which caused the cancellation of the International Dinner, originally scheduled for Saturday night. If this continues, more drastic and possibly violent acts may result It is our opinion, that the Americans must realize that 60 of our people are hostages in Iran, and our actions could determine their fate. Patriotism is a good thing, but when the lives of fellow Americans are in danger, the best form of patriotism we can practice is that of not jeopardizing the lives of the hostages and wholly supporting our government durin·g this critical time. 1 Pelosi & Cashnaere If there is anyone on this campus who doesn't know that Vinny Pelosi and Doug Cashmere ran for the president of the Class of 1983 then they must be a hermit. This campus has not seen a more aggressive campaign in recent years and it certainly livened things up. . Though the election was declared void last Thursday, November 8, by Student Government because of campaign violations, we com- . mend Pelosi and Cashmere for their spirit, originality, and aggressiveness. The rules violated deal with campaign sign size and how many sheets you can post but we feel that these rules impede election hype. If it wasn't for Pelosi and Cashmere there wouldn't have been over 300 ballots cast. The Publicity and Elections Committee's decision to void the election should be an indication that maybe their rules are too restrictive. Some feel last week's campaign got out of hand but if that's what it takes to get over 300 people from a class to vote, more power to them. We are asking the freshmen class to go back to the ballot box today and vote for your candidate. Cashmere and Pelosi seem to be the most popular candidates and maybe either one deserve it over the field of seven because of their campaign efforts alone. -----the-- '.

'Careful V _ oter' Answers Letter From Willner To the Editor: An Open Letter to Shep Willner: I have indeed noticed the new way of announcing campus election results, and let me tell you Shep, I think it's great. It's definitely one of the most constructive things the P&E Commit· tee has ever done, and if you're responsible, then you deserve all the credit. I think it's important to know what our representatives look like; after all, if one wishes to speak to an elected student rep., one can't very well wander through the Student Center or caf calling for them, not can one? Now we can nab them with a minimum of public humiliation. In fact Shep, I think it would be a great idea if pictures were posted before elections, so that we can see who we're voting for. Casting a vote for a name can be risky; I for one would like a more complete "picture." Seriously, Shep, it's a good idea, one that is exceeded only by your dedication, sincerity, and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work. Regards, A Careful Voter / :: / '' t{."{. W\.\£ Rf 'S MY i\OL.OG:,'(' (Xrf'i~.\Mf..trr?'' Women Of Susquehannock Address Social Committee To the Editor: We, the women of Susquehannock Hall, would like to announce that we are very disappointed in the Student Ricky Marshall Fan Upset W , ith Righter's Decision To the Editor: If I could place a title on this letter it would read "Coach Gives Player a NoChoice Decision!'' I thought the sports program here at Wilkes College was designed for the benefit of the students. I don't see how any students benefited from the following situation : On Tuesday, October 24th, Coach Righter called in a Senior returning Letterman to speak to him. 'The player was then told, "it doesn't matter how good you play, you won't get in any games." The athlete asked if he could be given a chance to prove himself, and Coach Righter said, "no." Righter also said, "Even if you play far better than the others, they will play in the games, not you. " So the athlete did what· he believed was expected of him, he quit. And since Coach Righter made no attempt to change the athlete's mind, that is exactly what the coach wanted him to do - Coach Righter wanted him to quit. But Rick Marshall is not a quitter, he quit under pressure. I'm talking about the kind of player who never gave up. Whether on the court or on the bench he inspired his teammates to the final seconds of games. His enthusiasm and smart ball handling won many games for Wilkes. A player returning as last year's Most Valuable Minuteman. Rick was coming back for his senior year and looking forward to it. He has devoted much time and effort into the sports program here at Wilkes, and he got stabbed in the back! I feel Coach Righter was very selfish and only looking out for himself. A coach should look out for his players and their feelings . Where was his concern for Rich Marshall? I think this affects a senior a great deal, and I don't think Coach Righter thought about Rick Marshall at all. As an athlete l' have tremendous respect for Rick Marshall, and I feel he was treated very unjustly. But this is not the end of the story. Coach Righter gave the same speech for another senior returning letterman, and he too quit. I think Coach Righter . should examine his conscience before he sweeps out the whole basketball program. I wish it could be said, "Coach Righter irs your loss!" and wait till you see how big a loss. But it's not just the Coach's loss, it's a loss to Wilkes College. We lost a valuable member of ·the team. This letter was written for this reason, if you ever hear people ask, "What happened to Rick Marshall, isn't he playing this year?" And the response is simply, he quit. You'll know the answer is not that simple because - Rick Marshall is not the Bad Guy, you see. He's not a quitter! Sincerely, r Government Social Committee. We had scheduled a party in the Student Union Center for November 9, 1979. ,This reservation was made over a month ago. We were informed on October 30, a week before our party, that the dedication of the new Student Union Center was November 10. This meant we had to cancel our party for the ninth. This has caused great inconve• nience, not only for our dorm, but for the band we hired. They are now out of $150.00 and cannot book another engagement in such a short period of time. We strongly recommend that in the future, the social committee be more aware of what's going on at Wilkes College.

First of all, I was chosen as Manager of WCLH on November 1, 1978 and did not begin my official duties until January 1, 1979. There has never been a written <or unwritten ) WCLH rule as to when the term for Executive Staff positions begins or ends. The only WCLH rule is that Executive Staff positions are held by a person unless he violates a Federal Communications Commission Statute or fails to perfo~ his duties. . Secondly, the WCLH Executive Staff has not been "promised" anything. As long as each member performs his duties, he will continue to receive a work-study salary, myself included. The "concerned" member of WCLH stated I "led the argument that everyone deserves a chance when' last year's manager was asked to retain his PQSition for another semester." I do feel that everyone deserves a fair chance, yet, the fact of the matter is that I did not submit an application fqr the Manager position until the last day of which they were being accepted.

Fred and I have known each other for some time, and I feel that someone should speak out on his behalf. First, there has never been a "usual" term for any position at WCLH, the term of the position begin held until graduation, resignation or a violation of a Federal Communications Commission rule. Warren Keith · Jones, Station Manager before Fred, left his position for his own reasons, not that he was "forced" to resign as the letter implies. Furthermore, Fred never led any argument that led to Keith's resigning. Reading the letter, it seems to me that the person is more interested in Money, · as he is so interested , in scholarships and salaries, than in bettering the operation of WCLH. The present Executive Staff has done a · commendable job, as evidenced by the awards we have won, and should -not be brought under fire, but instead be commended. As for the monetary gains, Fred doesn't have a scholarship, and in fact, has even been cut from the work-study program. As can be seen, Fred is not doing it for his personal gain. In closing, I wonder why this person couldn't bring his problem .to our advisor, Dr. Kinney, or Fred himself, but instead turn to the paper where he can tell STORIES that just aren't true. Is it he is afraid to face the truth, or that he is chicl<en r John Szczepanski Member of WCLH-FM Jones personally assured our Executive Staff that he did not intend to remain as manager an extra semester, that I proclaimed my candidacy. It seems that the "concerned" member is only concerned about his own PERSONAL gain, specifically, being named to an Executive Staff position in the future. The fact of the matter is that I have been chosen to remain as Station Manager of WCLH until May of next year by WCLH Director Brad Kinney and the College Dean of Management, Dr. Shaw. This came about for two reasons: (1) . The radio station operates on a fiscal budget which begins during the summer, and both men feel that the manger should begin his duties at this time in order to plan effectively. (2) . Both men have been satisfied with the Executive Staff in September and informed each member of this event. As for the general staff, members were to have been informed of this situation in early December.:, I would be the first person to admit that WCLH has many competent people who would be able to assume Executive Staff positions, yet, it appears as though only three positions will open up next year due to graduati , . Dr. Kinney and I have formulalt:d plans for an orientation program which will prepare applicants for these and other positions. This program will be conducted early in the Spring Semester and everyone will be given a fair chance to participate. I feel that the current WCLH staff is the most dedicated I have ever seen in my four-year stay at Wilkes. I am honored to know that we have con- . cerned members, yet, I feel that people who are "concerned" about their own personal gains (scholarships and salaries) are Individuals; not, members. In my heart WCLH has always come FIRST; my conviction~ have never changed. Respectively, , Fred Pierantoni Manager Class Of 1981 PresidentThanks WeekendHelpers To the Editor: Now that all the ends of the Junior Weekend are tied up, I'd like to take this time to thank the people who made the weekend as successful as it was. I would like to thank Sue Matle_y, John Moffatt and Les Nicholas for the excellent job they did in setting up "Let's Make A Deal" and Paul Kanner for playing Monty Hall. Also, I would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous contributions: United Penn Bank, Wyoming National Bank, Franklin First Federal, Susquehanna Savings, Jewelcor, Kasarda's Greenhouse, Pizza Hut, Alex Plessett's Son, Gateway Twin Cinema, Dino's Pizza, Roller King Skate, WCLH, the New Leaf, Jewel Forte Questions DeerPrank Immorality To the Editor: In the· last issue of the Beacon, an unidentified Wilkes' student stated that he or she found the Warner deer incident immoral and offensive. Apparently, taking one of the Gods' creatures and destorting it upon its death upset this person. Perhaps pretending that the deer is Elvis Presley or John Kennedy might make it socially acceptable. • As for having no respect for mankind or wildlife, taking the deer from the road removed a driving hazard, and rid the forest of a carcus that eventually would become desease infested. Of greater importance is that the deceased's young are not exposed to a traumatic experience: finding mommy dead. What I find offensive is that a deer is used. What is wrong with a rabbit or a possum? Talk about discrimination. Besides deer are out of season. Concerned and Confused, Frank P.A. Forte Tea Company and Wilkes College Bookstore. Special thanks also goes to everyone who helped at the Student Center Party : Joe Rubbicco, Patti Sparlow, Charlotte Wanamaker, Joe Amendola, Charlie Boyer, Marla Brodsky, Joe Galli, Joe Knox, Rob Doty, George Bath and Maurita and Joseph Gries. Finally, I would like to thank Norm Witko, Margaret Scholl and Bill Miller as well as the Debate Union for their support and help. But above all, thanks to everyone who participated and attended any of the Junior Weekend events! Looking forward to doing it again. Sincerely, Colleen Gries Pres. of Class of 1981 P & E Chairman Congratulates Class ol1983 To the Editor: To the Class of 1983: Sorry it had to happen this way. I would like to take this time to commend the freshmen class on their enthusiasm during the class officer election. The candidates demonstrated that they have many great ideas and the spirit to go along with them. Unfortunately the election had to be declared invalid. Numerous campaign rules were broken by the majority of the candidates. Student Government had to take some form of action. Both the executive council and the publicity and elections committee felt that it was necessary to invalidate the election to insure the success of future elections. I think that Student Government and the Class of 1983 have learned from this election. I sincerely hope that the freshmen class continues with their enthusiasm and spirit regardless of this upset. Thank You, Alan D. Wirkman Chairman, Publicity & Elections Committee �Outer Limits by Flash Gordon HELLO FOLKS! I congratulate you for reading this column. After all, it is after the 10th week of class and some of our fellow students, admitted by Admissions for just being able to spell their names correctly, couldn't hack it here. Let me take this time to say that Flash ·Gordon does. not want to hurt anyone intentionally in these articles. I hope everyone is a sport about it and nobody gets offended by what's written. FLASH . . . Many department heads are upset with students missing their classes. They don't know where they are disappearing. Check the §econd floor of the Student Center. The line at "Space Invaders" is so long that one has to mllke an appointment, right Dave? Beautiful time of the year in the metropolitan Wilkes-Barre area. Good time to stroll around campus and take in the nice scenery. I did that last week and heard the same question asked all over campus, "Who the hell is Vinny Pelosi?" . ... A good time for hunting and fishing. Got some good spots for big bucks. Check the bathroom stalls in the dorms. Never know what wanders in these days. Also heard that in. order to enter Parrish Hall, you need a fishing license. Any fact to that rumor, Bill H.? N.P. and the R.A. at the hole are having a race to see who will have the first pony tail (Jealous I.D.C. Pres.?). The other R.A. was too busy with a bug. Condolences go to the top member of CC who spent nearly 4 years of maintaining a good image of dressing "appropriately" and.blows it at a formal activity. Don't worry, there are a few more chances to redeem yourself. Besides, according to your fan at Chapman, you can't do any wrong. · Daredevil of the week award goes to the individuals who somehow hung a sheet ii] front of Parrish Hall that had nothing to do with Freshmen elections. They just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving in their own special way. Hope that Bedford boy learns not to go to Sterling any more. Got him more than he wanted . . . Glad to see the Hotel ·change their name, next step is to change the management. Rob; great job at the show. You gave the cheer so intensely I thought your head was smoking . . . The trumpet player wasted too much time heckling the emcee, he should have simply played taps. Well, time to sign off with another mission accomplished. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and tune in next time with another episode from beyond the . reaches of space. B.D.C. T. L Psych,. Club Invites All To Open House Today The Psychology Club is holding an Open House today, between 11 and 1 in SLC 333. Everyone is welcome. The club hopes a lot of people will stop by and help celebrate the grand opening of their new clubroom. Coffee, baked goods and conversation will be available. Even though club membership is almost double that of last year, president Cissy Riley is offering membership to any student interested. "It's not hard to join," she says, "You don't even have to come to every meeting. Just show your face every once in a while or stop in the clubroom during the day to rap." Cissy notes, "The club is a good opnortunfty for both upperclassmen and . ':!shmen to learn more about the department and relax at the same time." She continues, "You _can find out the best courses and teachers to take. Look into the different aspects of psychological research, ·and even air · particular gripes about the department. So far this year, Cissy and the rest of the club officers : vice-president, Marlene Vauter; secretary, Jim Martin ; and treasurer, Romain Long along with the members, have been busy making plans for coming events. One of the biggest projects now is collecting money to help finance their yearly trip to the American Psychological Convention at the end of the year. At the moment, the club is selling bags of par-ty mixes of pretzels and crackers, and they have plans for selling hoagies and possi~ly a tee-shirt sale. , Activities on the planning board include a club challenge snowball fight, and possibly a ski trip. The club always has their big party annually held in the spring semester to think about, and if interest is good enough maybe, even a party in the student center. Recently during the Science Expo, members of the club helped set up the three rooms offered by the psychology department. Each room focused on a different aspect of their science, while films were also shown. Cissy also mentioned that they received lots of help from Dr. Truckenmiller who sat and . discussed variou_s psychological subject matter with the visiting high school students. "We're basically a pretty nutty and insane crew, " Cissy spoke as she flashed a devilish grin. "We're into doing things. It's just a shame that there is a lot of psych _majors who haven't joined yet. Everyone should at least try it. Although we like to · enjoy ourselves, we do have a creditable purpose- in trying to familiarize ourselves with what's happening in psychology. " Perry Lichtinger The Annual Gong Show The Fourth Annual Gong Show was held Saturday evening. The MC was Rick Karo who did a rather fair job. The celebrity judges include Mrs. "Ma" Barker. Freddie "very tasty" Wall, and Dr. Brian Redmond from Environmental Science Department. These ·judges did a commendable job by sitting through the evening, and enduring some of the acts. The first act of the evening was a band entitled "Organized Noise" and was quite horrible. The "Free Wheeler" was next. This performance was a guitar-player-singer who performed a tribute to Lynard Skynard. "The Team" followed and proceeded to be gonged, mainly because the judges couldn't figure out "what kind of team it was supposed to be." It consisted of five guys : two singing and three acting out the song. Two "fast pickin" "guitar players were up next and continually boasted about their graduation from "Evelyn's Wood's Speed Guitar Course." They turned in a respectable score from the judges and were in contention for the prize. To everyone's surprise "Dean Ralston" made a special appearance and stopped long enough to treat the audience to his famous "Goooooo Wilkes" cheer; of course the Gong replaced the drum . Up next were the "Disco Blockheads". They were rather unique characters who had the art of disco dancing down pat. The "blockheads" were followed by "Drew and Lou" who were eventually gonged because their rendition of two youngsters away at camp left a little to be desired . "Right Before Your Eyes" was the magic act of the evening. Steve and Storm did their famous silk scarves act and then followed with a guillotine act with the cooperation of a wi.lling audience participant. The first half fo the entirely too long show ended with an extremely poor and vulgar imitation of the "Unknown Comic". Even after the intermission the audience remained restless and couldn't really concentrate on the remainder of the show. · The second half began with a rock band entitled "Just Another One Night Band". They performed an original NOTICE Come and get the very best in homemade baked goods at the Theta Delta Rho Sorority Bake Sale, Thursday from 11-1 a.m . in the Student Center. piece and turned i_n the highest ·score of the night at that point. The band consisted of four guys with acoustic as well as electric guitars and a saxophone. Another act of the evening was two young ladies with a lot of sophistication performing the song, "I'm Loved These Days" with pianos and vocals. "Civilizations" was the next performance which concerned a tribe of "mutants." After this "a wild and crazy guy" explained how it is to be a foreign student in the United States. For those who stayed until the end the best and most talented act of the night made their appearance. "Vengenance", a six piece rock band, performed and made the show worth sitting through. Naturally, "Vengenance" won the first place prize because of their overwhelming talent. Although there must have been much work that went into the show not too much was evident. The major drawback Qf the show was the length. After a while most people were uneasy because of sheer boredom or disgust. Margaret Scholl THE TEAM - --•w"at kind 'of team is this supposed to be?"

Your performance on April 12 will not only be furthering your career; it will be benefiting the Red Cross also. Two years ago, they made approximately $8,000, says Dave Samsel, chairman of Wilkes' Variety Show Committee, and last year they made approximately $2,500. Samsel also says, " It will bring people, as well as preforrners, together. Three other colleges besides Wilkes will furnish acts." Those other area colleges are ; LCC, Misericordia, and Kings College. The organizers are prirnarly interested in a diversity of acts. Traditionally, there have been many instrurnentals and singing acts, but Samsel says, this year the organizers would like to get comedy acts or even disco dancers. The acts will have to audition before Wilkes and Red Cross personnel, and they must all contain appropriate material. "We want something you could take.,Your grandmother to see." Samsel explains. Unlike other years, the acts rn ust be five minutes, without any warrnup acts, and must contain only students, not professors. There will be one dress rehearsal two days before the per- formance . This way, the routine is still in the mind of the actors. Because the Red Cross believes that everyone is a winner, all the acts will receive a trophy. Out of the twenty acts, though, the top three will receive a special trophy. Samsel . says the Red Cross has much of the event organized, but gives the schools considerable autonomy and responsibility. Each college, for instance, will set up committees responsible for tickets, publicity, technical duties at the preformance, and screening acts. Each college has a specialization to manage, Wilkes is publicity, and each college_is expected . to furnish five acts and sell twohundred tickets. If you have no desire to act, Samsel invites you to join the Red Cross Variety Show Committee. You can help out in any one .of the four areas. Interested students should contact Dave Samsel at Bedford Hall. Dave Stahl NOTICE Classes end on Tuesday, November 20 at to p.m. and dorms close on Wednesday, November 21 at noon for Thanksgiving yacation. Classes will resume on Monday, November 26 at 8 a.m. SPECIAL -:•::?~;- -· MIDNIGHT cryonics, freezing of the human body. Currently, about 700 colleges and universities have some type of Futuristics course, with graduate degrees being offered in many of them. Last year, Minnesota Universi: ty presented the first Ph.D. in Futuristics. When asked what a person could do with a Futuristics degree, Dr. Darte answered that many large corporations hire these people to fill a position what the companies refer to as a "blue-skyer." A "blue-skyer" is a person who projects ahead the various trends the company may follow. "Blue-skyers" put possible happenings into story form , which may easily be studied at a later date. The Pentagon uses Futuristics in a concept called "think-tanks. "-"Thinktanks" try to come up with possible, solutions to questions such as, "What would the United States do if, Russia and China went to war? " Through the use of "think-tanks," questions such as these are more efficiently discussed. Dr. Darte mentioned that because Futuristics is not a discipline in and of itself, there is no prerequisite. The course will first be of value to the student personally, with college credit corning second. While commenting on other courses, Darte stated that the goal of Futuristics is, "To get every course futurized. To tell . you the truth, presently every course should be futurized to some point." He went on to say that if the courses are, they will have more relevance to today's students. Dr. Darte elaborated on the course by saying that there will be a required text, along with a Futuristic project. During the semester, he hopes to obtain guest speakers representing every spectrum of the course. Futuristics is open to the public and anyone wishing further information may contact Dr. Darte at Butler Hall, extension 381. Dr. Frank Darte of the Education Department has announced the scheduling of a Futuristics course on Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.rn ., for the 1980 spring semester. Dr. Darte explained Futuristics as the methodology of studying the future, and emphasized that it is not a course in astrology. He added, "We will not sit around a crystal ball gazing into the future . No, this course will look for alternative solutions to futuristic problems." Futuristics will be divided into three categories entitled Technology, Methods of Studying 'the Future, and Bio-Medical Questions. The first area of study, Technology, will -discuss various inventions and will deal with the question of whether or not we can control applied science. Methods of Studying the Future, the second phase of the course, will concern itself with planning alternative futures through the use of such concepts as future wheels, relevant trees, and forecasting. The final part of the program, BioMedical Questions, deals with inquiries connected with ethics, clones, and genetic engineering. It will investigate such topics as cyborgs, humans with palse parts, and ~~ saow~ Peter Steve The Accounting and Business Club will sponsor guest speaker Thomas Roberts who will discuss careers in banking. Roberts is assistant vicepresidenf in marketing at the Northeastern Bank. He will speak in the lobby of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts Thursday Nov. 15 at 11 :15 a.m. The event is open to all. Roberts received his B.S. from Temple University and in 1979 received his MBA in marketing from Wilkes. Before receiving his MBA Roberts worked as a marketing analyst for the International Correspondence School from 1968 to 1970. The club has also scheduled two other speakers who will be lecturing in the near future. One will be the Personnel Director for Commonwealth Telephone who will speak on "packaging yourself for a career.'' His lecture is slated for Nov. 22. The other scheduled speaker is Gregory David Kirk who is manager for a well known business firm . Kirk will speak at a luncheon meeting which will be held at Gus Genetti's on Dec. 4th from 11 :00 to 1:00. The luncheon will be open to the general public with ticket prices for faculty and general public at six dollars each and prices for students at four dollars each. . · Basically the lectures are meant as a form of outside teaching. The club arranges to have speakers such as W.r. Roberts, who have experience in accounting or related business fields, in order to give students further background on the topics. The subjects of these lectures are chosen by the members of the club who vote on topics which they would like to learn more about. The club contacts individuals who are qualified in these areas and requests t~em to give lectures on the topics. The club also ~opens the events to the public to give interested people in the community a chance to find out more information about the subjects.

Peter Steve �Page 8, The Beacon, November 15, 1979 ·Donna Grontkowski Involved In Many C-a mpas A~i~i~ies Album Review . CheapTric~ ''Dream Police" Although Cheap Trick's music has been criticized because of their appeal to the "teeny-bopper," their music must be seriously considered. Because - of the success of their "Live at Budokan" album and the new album rapidly climbing the charts, (it debuted at number 25 ) Cheap Trick must be truly recognized as a supergroup. The new album was actually completed several months ago, but because of the success of "Budokan" was not released until late last month. With the release of this new studio album, the band loses little of its famous pop styled, raw power sound they have become recognized for. Lead guttarist and brainchild of the group, Rick Nielson should be considered as a top innovater of today's music. He changes styles so fast, so smoothly, you are Je8 to believe there are ten guitars instead of three. - The rest of the group also loses nothing when it comes to musical prowess. Tom Peterson (bass), Robin Zander (vocals, guitar> , and Bun E. Carlos (drums) are all highly skilled in their respective fields. The album itself contains a few surprises. One of the most pleasant, is the · song "Gonna Raise Hell." It is a pulsating, almost disco, rocker which features scorching vocals and some well played instrumental work. It is a long song, and some may consider it disco-like in composition. To me it is a high voltage, comqiercial style rocker. · Two other songs, "Way of the World" and "Dream Police," their new single, are "Cheap Trick" classics which stand out as the types of songs that sell their records for them. .The Super group Cheap Trick, has mushroomed into a major concert attraction. My only criticism of the album is that it sounds almost like the albums before it. The group, however, seems to be trying to get away from being stereotyped. Such songs as "Gonna Raise Hell" show that the band can break away from their traditional type of music, and keep up with the times to come. · its Disc Doings STAY TUNED-· The Major record companies want to levy a tax on blank tapes, citing their profit losses. What will this mean to you? About a 4 percent incl'.ease in already high blank tape prices . . . Has Disco taken a turn for the worst? Only five of this week's top twenty are Disco. Compare t~is to a few months ago when almost all were Disco. Fleet""._ood Mac's new album is due this week. It carries ·the most expensive list price of any production double album in history. Is it worth it? I've heard it and was very disappointed. It is not worth the outrageous list price . .. New albums include AC-DC; Jethro Tull, Styx, Cheap Trick, The Who, Judas Priest, Elton John and Pablo Cruise to name a few. I'm sure there will be a lot more .. : Remember, Christmas is coming up ... Local concerts include Kenny Loggins <Oct. 19 at King's>, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (Nov. 4, CYC Scranton ) and _Triumph (Oct. 18 at the Paramount) ... Support your college station, WCLH. Every third Saturday of the month there is an album day, in which the top albums of today can be heard in their entirety. Listen also for the Lynyrd Skynyrd special to be held soon on WCLH. George Saba Sterling Popala~ion Decreases By-33 In the beginnirig of the fall 1979 semester, there were 177 students dorming at the Hotel Sterling. Since then, 33 students have left, bringing the current number of students at the Hotel to 144. According to Paµ! Adams, Director of Housing, this is due to a number of factors, and not all students have gone to dorms. Some have found apartments or are living with relatives in the area. As of November 1, there were ten openings available - all in Pickering Hall, all single-space rooms, and all for men. Adams remarked, "It is up to the stu<!u1t to decide if he wants to leave the Hotel or not. If two kids are happy, we leave them alone and don't separate them. Although we do reserve the right to move, and thus separate them, we prefer not to." Mr. Adams also stated that it is not as easy to get girls out of the Hotel and into dorms, due to lack of space in the girls' dorms. Presently the girls constitute the same per- cent of the population at the Hotel as they did in the beginning of the semester. According to Mr. Adams, "All the kids in the Hotel are happy there." He went on to add that many of the kids have not, as of yet, experienced dorm life. They are however getting a larger cross-section of friends at the hotel.

' According to Dr. Driscoll, chairman of Political Science Department, students already in the course will have priority getting in the seminars. Students who would like to enroll in the experimental program should request it as they would any other course when lhey pre-register with their advisors. Dr. Driscoll said the second semester will be more diverse than the first.

The new student center is a good example of what can be done if the students and administration get together. The more involved people are the easier it is to work out problems." Concerning her education Donna remarks, "Although I know I' ve learned alot academically, I've learned a lot more form the people I've come to meet." Probably one of the most important lessons Donna has learned while at Wilkes is that time really goes by fast and a person must take advantage of the opportunity before its too late. Of all Donna's activities, being a majorette is the most memorable for her. Before being elected captain this year, Donna was a member of the squad for two years. Her commitment to the sport extends far beyond the college level for she has been helping two area majorette squads. As a tribute to her contribution, both the Wyoming Valley West majorettes and the squad from the Plymouth mini-football league have steadily improved since her arrival. "Something I'm really getting into is playing racquetball," Donna enthusiastically pronounces, "I get to play two. or three times a week since I've joined the Wilkes club."

This qualified to be the "big one" - the heart-breaker. Losing to a team which had lost its last seven straight. well, you get the idea. And th .. ,'s what happened last Saturday, as Wilkes saw its five Anthracite Bowl game winning streak end with a 8-7 loss to a 'l:-7 Susquehanna University team which played like the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Blue and Gold rode into the 1979 season finale with hopes of a winning season, which would have been the first since 1974. But, it didn't happen and instead the Colonels end the campaign with a 4-4 slate in a year of what could have been. Susquehanna played like a major college powerhouse with quarterback Tom O'Neill guiding the offense and All-World linebacker Bob Fessler leading the "D". Both players received the game's MVP awards and Coach Bill Moll got the winning coach's trophy. SU will now take possessjpn of the impressive looking coal trophy for one year. Wilkes showed no sign of an offense all day and got its only points on a O'Neill pass. In the second quarter with the scored tied at 0-0, O'Neill dropped back to pass and threw a strike - but to Wilkes defensive back Dave Korba who intercepted and ran a nifty 47-yards for the score. Vince Savoca's PAT gave Wilkes a 7-0 lead and their final point of the 1979 campaign. Through three quarters, Wilkes held that 7-0 lead and it looked like, although it was closer than expected, the Colonels would come away with another Anthracite Bowl victory. But somebody forgot to tell O'Neill. And he wasn't even the Crusaders starting quarterback - he got hurt in the first quarter and was forced to miss the rest of the game. In stepped O'Neill and the senior ,--------, completed seven of 11 for 92 yards. Midway throught he fourth quarter, SU put together a grand drive starting from their own 41-yard line. O'Neill passed 47 yards to Kipp Sassaman to the Wilkes 12 and then connected with Rock Shadduck on an 11-yard gainer to the one for a first down. Three running plays netted nothing and set up your classic -fourth down and goal from the one-situation. With 7:32 left to play, O'Neill went to the air and hit Shadduck for the oneyard TD, only the second pass for a score Wilkes had allowed in 1979. Then the decision rested with Moll - go for the tie - there was a lot of time left or go for the win, go for the bowl and make your season. On the two-point try, O'Neill went to the airways again and this time found Sassaman for two-point conversion which gave SU a 8-7 edge. But all was not over, at least not yet. The Colonels had two more shots at victory in their final two possessions of the year. In the first with 4:30 left,. Tom Cywinski, filling in for Mike Wilson, hit a 18-yard pass to Bill Molnar and a 20-yarder to Rob Irwin for a first down at the Crusader 45yard line. The former Nanticoke Trojan, who has looked good the last few weeks and was 5-14 for 78 yards Saturday, was then intercepted by Fessler on a brilliant play. But we got another shot when Bob Luby, "Mr. Everything" returned a punt 46 yards to the SU 24-yard line with 1: 57 remaining. Three running plays netted nine yards and with a fourth down Vince Savoca came on to attempt a 33-yard field goal with 1: 04 showing. The Wyoming Valley West grad's kick was long enough but was just off to the right and the SU bench exploded like they had j4st won a national title, let alone an Anthracite Bowl. And as Savoca's kick sailed off to the right, there to went the winning season for 1979 -off to the right. The stats for the game were just about even with Wilkes getting 62 offensive plays and 188 total yards and SU gaining 181 yards on 61 plays. THE BEACON will carry a wrap-up on the season in its next issue. GRID BITS: . . .

Ladies Finish Season At 7-11; Price, Dudick Have Good Years The volleyball Colonelettes closed their season with a 7-11 record. They won 21 individual games and lost 39. On Sept. 16 they played a game against Penn State Hazleton Campus that was originally intended to be a scrimmage. Wilkes won 3-0. The scores for the sets were 15-3, 15-5 and 15-2. The high scorers for Wilkes were Karen Burkley and Debbie Salak with 8 points each, Mary Kay Price scored 7 pts. and Cheryl Frystak added 6 pts. to the Wilkes scoreboard. The Colonelettes traveled to Madison FDU to play their last game of the season. Wilkes lost 3-0, the scores of the sets were as follows : 1015, 6-15 and 8-15. High scorers for this . game were Cindy Rossi and Lisa Gazdick each adding 6 pts. to the Wilkes score board. Cindy Rossi, who at the beginning of the season was on the injured list due to torn ligaments in her knee, returned to the team towards the end of the year. She recovered in time to play three games for Wilkes and in these three games she proved to be a great player adding strength to the team. The two most valuable players for the Colonelettes this season were Ma:ry Kay Price a Jr. Nursing major from Carbondale, Pa. and Cathy Dudick a Soph. Biology major from Wilkes-Barre, Each scored 110 points apiece for the Colonelettes. Mary Kay Price seemed to be the most consistent player on the team, however both showed alot of determination and h••s- fle. Next year the volleyball team will return better than ever with much more experience and confidence.

Following Thomas were Ed Eppler 119th at 28:46; Lou Mucciolo 128th at 28 :46; John Supinski 137th at 29:28; Roger Davis 144th at 29 :49; and Don Patrick 146th at 29 :56. There were 180 runners in the race. Ken Pascoe was unable to run due to a fractured foot. " It was a good year and a large part was due to Coach Righter. We owe him alot," stated Don Patrick, "with some good freshmen next season they could knock off Scranton." Even though no one qualified for nationals, the thinclads enjoyed their finest season ever.

Coach Reese has a personal coaching record of 267-58-8, including three undefeated seasons while competing in the MAC. As Reese said four years ago, "to be the best, you have to play the best" and since entry to Division I, Wilkes shows a 5719 mark. Not bad for a new kid on the block. Wilkes opens its season this Saturday evening when the third annual alumni wrestling match takes place at 8:00 p.m. at the South Franklin Street Gymnasium. The Grapplers Club is sponsoring the match and there will be a charge of one dollar to all students. The match always proves to be a classic and prepares the young Colonels for the upcoming campaign. The Blue and Gold officially open the year on Wednesday, Nov. 28 with York College at 8:00 at hame. The big showdown with Eastern power Lehigh Bryan Billig, a junior from New Tripoli, grabbed runner-up honors in the EIW A's last year and advanced the furthest in the nationals of any Wilkes grappler. Billig wrh tled at 126 and 134 and showed a fine 24-5-1 individual mark.

Hockey Team Continues To Win Awards just keep on coming in for Coach Gay.Meyers and her women's field hockey team. Last week, the girls won their sixth straight NPWIAA crown by defeating the Universicy .of_ Scranton 2-0. Goals were tallied by· Diane Hall and Ellie Adams. Assists · were credited to Hall and Nancy Cole. All in all, the girls finished 11-3-3, first in the Middle Atlantic Conference · Northern Division, second in the entire MAC, first in the NPWIAA, and will. also send two girls to the nationals next weekend. That's enough honors to last a decade. The Scranton match-up was very physical, especially for a team that went through what Wilkes has gone through lately. Akey injury in that encounter was that of senior co-captain and leading scorer Jerry Ann Smith with a badly sprained neck. But the Wilkes women survived and Smith along with Mary Jo Frail and Terri Burak played in their final collegiate contest. Six Wilkes girls then traveled to Lancaster this past weekend to take part in the Regional Tournament at Conestoga Valley High School. They included : Smith. Pam Snyder, Frail, the varsity line-up throughout the University is slated for Dec. 1 at the Engineers new gym complex. Last year, Lehigh walloped Wilkes 29-10 and also edged Wilkes for first place in the EIWA championships. We defeated Lehigh the previous year 2518 at Lehigh. The Wilkesmen will be led by senior tri-captains Mark Densberger, Denny Jacobs and Bart Cook this winter. Densberger of Danville, Pa., has been a success story since his initial year here and posted a 26-1-1 record last season including an EIWA crown. He is noted for his agressivness and pinning ability. Jacobs of Dillsburg, garnered a sixth in the Easterns and finished at 10-4 after an inj ury-ridden season. Bart "Slick" Cook, Neptune, N.J ., boasted a 15-3 slate last year and took third place in the EIWA 's. which they will take into this season. The 1979-80 edition of the Wilkes wrestling team is expected to continue the tradition and 27-year mentor John Reese is more optimistic about this squad than any he has had since Wilkes went Division I.

Banas is a story in himself. The 6-3, 220 pound bruiser is a former Marine who still wears the "bull-dog" tattoo on his arm.

Douglas Cashmere is from Washington, D.C. , a Business Administration major and wants to be president because, " I feel particularly that the president of the freshman class should be a person with experience in Student Government to help provide the class with the proper leadership needed for a young and virtually unorganized class." Bob Denien of Long Island, N.Y. feels " I would like to be president so that more of the money may be spent on social activities for the class of 1983." Bob is a computer science major. Eric Farber, Cherry Hill, N.J ., is majoring in business and is running for president because "If I am to be president, morale and a strong unity among the freshman class is my key goal. Maintaining these assets will be my primary concern and hopefully well accepted by the remainder of the class." · From Middletown, N.J. and a COIJlputer science major, Jim Guerriero wants the position of president so that " I can make this, the class of 1983, the best freshman class in Wilkes history.

He has played to college audiences as well as doing professional theater. Collis has been selected to appear in the Children's Spring Festival in Philadelphia Civic Center. " Margaret Scholl "Wilkes-Barre Ci4iPolice Investigate S.CBreak-In The Wilkes-Barre City Police Department is currently investigating the break-in that , occured in the Student Center Building between the hours of 9:00 p.m. October 26 and noon Saturday, October 27. According to Dave Kerek, SCB Director, entrance into the building was obtained through two swinging doors because the dead bolts were not thrown securing the doors. Kerek added that the break in was relatively easy because of this fact, since the only lock left secured was a thin metal bar across the handles. Three games including "Space Invaders," "Flash, Stars and Bars" were vandalized along with the cigarette machine. Kerek mentioned that the games were the biggest money makers at the center and that the burglar or burglars knew what to " hit. " Roth Novelty whQ rents the machines to Wilkes has estimated A that the loss is between $250 and $275. Kerek pointed out that this is the total amount missing since there is no monetary loss due to damage. At present, the police have not reported any progress in the case although many leads are being looked into. Kerek stated that theSCB committee is discussing the possibility of installing a security system which would tie into the one at Stark Learning Ce.nter. " Myself, I would hope that a security system be put in because of the new stereo system which will be installed in the center shortly," Kerek explained. Although a security system would be great, Kerek concluded that if maintainence secures all doors and windows properly, and extra checks are _made at the building throughout the night, any further break-in attempts will be difficult.

Commuter Council announced that it has finalized its plans for the upcoming bus trip to New York City on November 21. According to CC President Bill Lewis, the reason for the one day excursion is to provide a day of activity for commuters and to provide an inexpensive means of getting home for the dorm students.

Although the crowd was of 70 people was small, everyone had a good time including the gamblers and' dealers. The "theme" of the casino was the 1940's and the "dealers" were dressed to the hilt. From skinny ties and elegant gowns to white socks and black shoes • the "casino'' people put on the 40's. However, the dealers were not the only showmen of the night. Many of the customers came dressed in forties garb and lost themselves in a night of gambling from a different decade. In fact, some of the cuctomers looked genuine enough to have been with Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca." Throughout the evfning the casino was filled with the music of the period . The big bands, the Andrews sisters or some other popular performers of the forties played in the background while -the customers gambled for high stakes with their play money. The main object of the evenings' gambling was to win enough money to · be able to bid on prizes at the auction after the casino.

In this first article, we will attempt to answer three questions about this new organization. First, what is C.O.P.U.S., second what are C.O.P.U.S.'s functions, and third, how can you as a student get involved? C.O.P.U .S. is a lobbying group in Washington and Harrisburg with offices at the University of Pennsylvania, Pitt, and now Wilkes College. Founded four years ago at the University of Pennsylvania, C.O.P.U .S. has expanded considerably and is now respected in Washington and Harrisburg as a powerful and influential lobbying group. C.O.P.U.S. has two closely related functions . The first is to keep students informed of legislation that directly affects them. The second is to keep state and federal legislators informed of our needs and to influence them to act on our behalf in such areas as increasing the amount of Basic Grants <BEOG l, Supplemental Grants (SEO~) , and WQrk-Study allotments, National Direct Student Loans (NDSL J and State Student Incentive Grants <SSIG) .' We also try to have restrictions dropped so more students can take advantage of these grants. For example, C.O.P.U.S. was credited with having a major influence in the recent passage of the Middle Income Students Assistance Act. This act requires that assets and income of independent students be measured more closely in par with that of dependent·students when calculating BEOG eligibility awards. What this means is more money for you. Lobbying is not our only effort. Each C.O.P.U.S. campus office tries to help students fill out those often confusing financial aid forms. We also attempt to answer any question that might arise concerning governmental grants. In this way, we hope to assist the Wilkes Finance Office. But more importantly, we want to help students obtain as much and as many types of aid as possible. The Wilkes Chapter of C.O.P.U.S. will not survive without your support. You are the heart of our organization. We need you to join C.O.P.U.S. We need students to learn about the workings of aid programs so they can inform other students. We also need Wilkes students to serve as liaisons to and to keep in touch with our lobbying groups in Washington. In this way, we can try to persuade each of our local congressmen to vote in our best interest. C.0 .P.U.S. can call him and let him know how Wilkes students feel about subjects which directly affect them. Considering that the tuition for a Wilkes College dorm student this year is $5,200, C.O.P.U .S. is a worthwhile organization to support. So come to our meeting every Thursday at 11 :00 o'clock at Weckesser Hall, second.floor, or see Tom Farley, Joe Knox or Pete.Just and ask us about C.O.P.U.S. Together, we can try to keep the cost of college education within everyones' price range. Next month we will inform you of legislation now being debated in Congress, which will directly affect your future as a student. ........ ..._.................., IDECKOU R'St FUTUROLOGY COURSE For the 1980 spring semester, Dr. Darte of the Education Department has announced that a Futuristics course will be offered on Wednesday, from 4to7p.m. Futuristics, which has no pre,: Ph. 822-7045 ,: requisite is the methodology of stu-Imported Beers- ~ dying the future .

According to Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, the repairs are "virtually needed if we are to retain the building." Charles Abate, Business Manager, said the masonry work had deteriorated to the point where two chimneys were held together by nothing more than the weight of the stone. Around the outside of Kirby Hall, the mortar was decayed, causing the stone to break away. The repairs consist of chipping the old mortar away and replacing it with new mortar, which will cost approximately $40,000. The roof and windows do not-need patching, but replacing. On the roof, which leaks, many clay tiles · have · either crumbled or deteriorated. Many window frames are rotted, especially on the south side of the building. The ner thermopane windows, and screens, should help with the insulation. In both cases, the materials have to be custom made, with the roof costing approximately $75,000, and the windows costing approximately $20,000. Other miscellaneous work will include Joor refurbishing and itnerior painting. Also, after the work is completed, the exterior stones of Kirby Hall may be cleaned, though that is not part of the contract. According to Shaw, the planning process began last spring with an analysis of what needed repair. Construction started late because the school had to get an estimate on replacing the roof because at first, the college was just going to replace the worse tiles. But Abate said they would all need replacing eventually. That brought the project's cost from $127,000 to $200,000. 'l'he work should be completed by the spring. There is a sixty day contract for major structural work, but When a club experiences a fivefold increase in membership it is a sign that something is right. In the case of the Computer Club, the "something right" is the increase in the number of majors in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. With over 50 new majors this year the department has approximately 120 majors over 80 of whom are Computer Science majors.

A trip to the LB.M. facility in 1 Binghamton, New York is planned for the beginning of next semester. Cook noted that Student Government is supposed to help with the funding for the trip which will be open to all Wilkes students free of charge. Cook added that computer club members will have first priority for the trip. A chapter of ACM, the Association of Computing Machinery, is being started on campus and many of the members of the Computer Club are joining. ACM will offer guest lectures, speakers and will be a benefit to its members. The club is offering a preregistration help seminar on Tuesday, November 13 in SLC 402 to help underclaljismen in selection of Math and Computer Science courses. Students with questions about Math or Computer Science can get answers then. A guest lecturer will be coming to the college from 1.B.M. He will speak on "The Modern Computer World". The date will be scheduled later and signs will be posted. Cook pointed out that the club has done a lot of work regarding the Science Expo. They wrote the "Banner Program" which printed out anything that anyone wanted such as the signs on the fourth floor that read "Computer Center" and the one that read "Happy Birthday Junkfood Johnny Jogger" for Dr. Koch's birthday on Halloween. Also, they had many games for the expo as well as print-outs of calendars. Some of the club's activities include parties with the Math Club in cooperation with the president, Leeann Earl. Also, in the fall the Computer Club and Math Club get together and take on the professors of the fourth floor for some volleyball (The profs usually win ).

The incident involving the placing of a dead deer in Warner House's bathroom last Tuesday, October 30, went beyond that limit. From what we understand, the deer was hit by a car. Two Wilkes College students picked it up, brought it back to campus, and placed it in one of the stalls with the intent of surprising quite a few people. The shock of seeing that deer propped up on the toilet must have been a sight one will not easily forget. We are not coming down on anyone for violating the State's GAme Commissiori rules, but we would like to think that students have some respect for their environment and for wildlife. Many people thought the whole idea was hilarious, but they probably didn't get a glance of the bathroom which was described as bloody, disgusting, and sickening. We are printing a picture of this joke to let everyone see what it looked like. Maybe we should have printed it in color to give you the total "surprise." Warner Deer Incident, Provokes S-tudent Shame· To the Editor: I would like to comment on the recent abuse of an animal by a Wilkes College Student. On October 30, a slain deer was found in the lavatory of Werner House. The deer was poised in such a position so as to create humor, which it did. BUt the fact that it was funny does not make the incident morally right. Obviously the person who thought up this disgusting scheme has no respect for wildlife, or for that matter, mankind. The · few moments of laughter the event produced cannot equal the embarrassment this school will have to contend with. Every person on this campus will have to accept the fact that because they are a part of Wilkes, they will be associated with this act, thus opening them up to unjustified criticism. Is this right? I certainly do not think so. To the person who did this Executive Staff Position·Changes Are Questioned To the Editor: As of November 1, 1979, Fred Pierantoni has served as Station Manager of the school's radio station, WCLH, for one year. The usual term for this, and all other executive staff positions, has been one year. As of this time, there have not been - and it appears will not be any applications accepted for these positions. Has the present executive staff been promised they will be allowed to keep their positions (scholarships and salaries ) until May? Last year when the Station Manager was asked to keep the position until May, Fred led the argument that everyone deserves a chance. Why, now that the shoe is on the other foot, is there this change in convictions? There are many at the station who are competent and qualified to assume these positions. Don't they deserve a chance? There are many of us who would like to know what the situation ls and why it has occurred. Ceacen,d Memller el. WCLH . abusive act, I would like to say that I feel sorry for you. Anyone who can take one of nature's most beautiful creatures and distort them upon their death is really in sad shape. Every living creative (deer included) have the right to die with dignity.

You can give me such · responses by: Inter-Campus Mail ; a letter to The Beacon; talking to me on the street. Before you start complaining or complimenting me on the idea, I feel it necessary·to explain that because not all of this year's Freshmen have their photos in The New Student Record Book (that's where the winners' pictures · came from) , therefore, we wer~ able to obtain those winners' photos which were in· the Book.

As director of the Student Center Board, part of Dave's responsibilities include scheduling of campus parties, making sure that they run smooth, and supervising the second floor of the Center during the day.

Dave Kerek not enough open space for everyone at the party to see and enjoy the bands. The major complaints that Dave has receivid about the parties have been concerning ticket sales and also the fact that there isn't as much open space on the first floor. Future plans for the building include decorating the basement with mirrors and possibly beer signs to give an added effect to the parties. Dave doesn't see himself possessing powers just "responsibility for the building. Also, there hasn't been any destruction as of this time at the parties or during the day," the director admits. "At the beginning of the year being director was time-consuming, probably because the building was brand new and I didn't want anything to happen to it." Dave is also actively involved playing soccer on the varsity team. Within the past three years Dave has been a member of the cross-country team and of the Student-Faculty· Library Committee. He claims that he enjoys hunting and fishing a great deal but does not have the time. Dave originally came to Wilkes under the Wilkes-Hahnemann Medical program but elected to stay the extra years. After a few minutes of pondering Dave admits that he wants to enter medical school because it is a challenging career and I can help people."

The communication of the humpback whale is unique in that it consists of a greater variation of sounds than the communication of other sea creatures. In what is frequently called the "song of the humpback whale," the whale emits a series of low and high frequency moans, cries, whoops and snores, combined in unique patterns. ·The same patterns may be repeated several times, but the sounds always are repeated in the same order. Because of this specific order, some researchers have proposed that the patterns can be compared to sentences. However, Dr. Winn does not hold this idea and some of his studies may revearthe significance of the sounds. Although the main topic of the lee· ture dealt with the patterns of the "songs", Dr. Winn also discussed other behaviors he has observed. One behavior that has not been entirely ex· plained, buy has long been noticed is a characteristic of the humpback whale is its ability to raise itself vertically until it ·is almost clear of the water. H is this practice and the swimming ability of the whales that has promp· ted Dr. Winn to refer to them as the "graceful giants of the sea." In addition, Winn has also studied the patterns of migration of the humpback whale, which is on the list of endangered species. Although his main goal is not to provide information for those interested in saving the hump• back whale, the results of Winn's studies may ultimately help them determine methods for preserving the species. Mary Kay Pogar ~ NOTICE The Outdoor Adventure Club will sonsor a lecture on winter backpacking skills, to be presented by Mike Menapace of Uncle Eyeball's Travelers' Emporium, , Thursday, November 8, at 8 o'clock in SLC, 31 6. Menapace will discuss fluid and heat retention techniques and the prevention of frostbite and hypothermia. All are invited to attend. In today's fast paced society many people are finding it hard to keep up with the constant changes. In an effort to keep their personnel up to date, many businesses are turning to the colleges for continuing education programs. By definition continuing education means ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. In essence what this means is that businesses need qualified instructors to teach their employees. At Wilkes the continuing education • program is in the growing stages. Continuing education was a part of the evening and summer education program. Now it is separate, mostly due to the non-academic nature of the program. In continuing education !he "students" do not receive credits; their main goal is to keep up-to-date in their field . Another major reason for the separation is the greater attention that must be turned to the continuing education program. Basically the program works like this: Wilkes is contacted by a business · . ,..,..., .....................~ Hair Styling- Hair C.utting Perming- Conditioning Manicuring I § Bar~er ~tylJ~_!_ Roffler styling with all work aone 111 p, 1vu1e · § § §• , Q - , ~ ~ < Q - , , . q , , q , , q , ~ t "dolores" Vida § §· The Brooks Hair Salon § t £. § 15 S.

The qualified veterans are eligible for a grant equal to their tuition cost. A maximum grant of $1,200 at a Pennsylvania school or $800 at a non·Pennsylvania school is available. These grants are non·repayable grants. Bob Oliver also stated that there are approximately 140 veterans on campus, 10-15 of which are women. The ages range from the average of 26 years to the early 40's. Approximately half of the veterans on campus are married with families. Bob Oliver continued to state that about 100 veterans are full-time students. The remaining 40 are parttime. The veterans on campus hold a variety of jobs including bank executives and factory workers. Bob Oliver feels there will be an increase in enrollment for the next year or two. Afterwards, enrollment may decline due to the expiration of the G.I. Bill, unless the Senate extends its deadline. Academic planning and guidance are available to all veterans. Provided, also, are extracurricular activities such as sports events sponsored by the Veterans. Anyone wishing to obtain more information may contact Bob Oliver of the Veterans Club, Parrish Hall. The federal G.I. Bill, made into law on January 30, 1955 has provided educational benefits for the vet~rans of the Vietnam War. Under this G.I. Bill eligibility -for financial assistance requires a minimum of 181 days continuous active' service. This service must have occurred after January 31, 1955 and before January 1, 1977. Also, an individual is eligible if one has enlisted and has been assigned to a reserve unit before January 1,1977. One must have served active duty for at least 181 days beginning within 12 months after. January 1, 1977. Also, discharge or release must have been under conditions other dishonorable. Each eligible person with 18 continuous months or more of active duty can receive approximately 4 years of full-time or part-time educational benefits. If a person has served less than 18 months of active duty they are entitled to 11h months of full-time or part·time . benefits for each month served. For example, if one has served 10 months of active duty, they are eligible to receive 15 months of benefits. Pennsylvania provides State Higher Education Grants for residents, qualified veterans in need of financial assistance for postsecondary education. All veterans are considered without regard to the financial posi· tion of their parents or guardian. Ac- that wishes to keep its' employees abreast with the times. These companies will contract with the college to have certain courses taught to their employees. If the college believes it will be worthwhile it will offer the course. Many companies would like to teach their employees modern techniques or related interests which would help them to function better in their jobs. Few companies, however, have the qualified instructors to give the employees the up to date knowledge. Therefore they turn to the colleges to have these classes taught. If the company supplies the students the college supplies the classes. Philip Tuhy sees continuing education as a necessary :md growing func· tion of today's colleges. He believes, "Continuing education fills the gap for those companies who wish to keep their employees up to date." Tuhy sees continuing education as the college's duty to the community. "The colfeges' primary responsibility is to the community." Tuhy adds. The program is still in the initial stages at Wilkes. The college is negotiating with several companies at present. Once the need for a class is established the college must determine who is available to teach it; what texts are at hand; where the cla~s will be held and what the costs will be. Once all the details are settled the col· ~ lege and the company reach an agree91! ment on the class. Tuhy believes continuing education will become a large part of the college in the future.

According to Dr. Thomas Kaska,Chairman of the Department fo Languages and Literature, Wilkes is presently certified in speech, theater, literature, and writing. He continued that sometime in the near future, he hopes to also be certified in linguistics and non'!print media. If this proposal is adopted, Communications 101 will be added to the present English curriculum, exposing students to communication theory. He stated he hopes the new proposal will pass, adding, "I saw this coming 5 years ago." He continued, that since the adoption of the new Communications Studies major, Wilkes will have no problem tailoring the program to meet the specifications laid down by the state. But Dr. Kaska feels a straight English certification should still be offered, "Since Communications is essentially English," he said. According to Dominick O'Brien of the Pennsylvania Division of Teacher Education, the new certification will standardize the requirements statewide, and the combination of the two areas will prepare a teacher to do more than teach literature. "This development addresses the real needs of teachers today," he explained. He feels that this is a sign that the emphasis on English. will wither away eventually; although courses such as literary history, literary criticism and others are a part of a well rounded TomorrowlnCPA----------------- 26th Annual Tax Clinic Scheduled The 26th annual Tax Clinic, designed for Northeastern Pennsylvania lawyers, accountants, bankers, industrialists, and those interested in detailed and late developments in the tax structure of the United States--will be held at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, Friday, November 9, The clinic is co-sponsored by the Northeastern Chapter, Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and the Wilkes College Department of Commerce and Finance. Carl J. Lisman, Northeastern National Bank, Scranton, is serving as chairman of the tax clinic. Other members of the tax clinic committee include Joseph J. Kelly, Wilfred C. Carey, Thomas M. Gill, and Thomas Douaihy. The proceeds from the 26th annual Tax Clinic will go towards a scholarship fund set up by the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Northeast Chapter has created partial tuition scholarships for accounting students entering the senior year, in recognition of high academic endeavor in the study of accounting. ,. ....

Chairman of the English Department at Wyoming Valley West School District and member of the Wilkes English Advisory Council, Lorraine Rice, said that there should be a reduction of the in depth study of literature. She explained, a whole semester may be spent on one writer or author, and when teaching the material in a high school classroom, only one or two days will be spent on that topic. Because of her work on the advisory board, Ms. Rice says she has seen Wilkes moving in this direction. "Many graduates do not nave experience in the teaching of composition and grammar, two elements which are essential in teaching high school students," she said. She has also seen teachers not have a background in teaching methods. "In response to this problem, the teaching of English course offered at Wilkes is an excellent one in the preparation of graduates to be effective teachers," she added. A variety of courses are needed to teach on the secondary level, which are included in the English-Communications certification requirements, Ms. Rice concluded. "The past ten years have brought a lot of changes," stated a spokesman from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Certification," and this proposal is an attempt to keep up with the times.''

O'Brien stated, "I think this is an improvement because it opens up many more options for the student. Emphasis can be placed in a number of areas, thus preparing a graduate not only to teach English courses, but speech, journalism and theater as well. A graduate with this certification will also be able to handle extracurricular activities such as advising the school newspaper, yearbook or plays.'' He concluded that because of these reasons, a graduate certified in English-Communications is more marketable on the secondary level. Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, believes the new certification is a good idea because it will end the confusion existing now with the two separate certifications. Moreover, he feels a stu- · dent who wishes to be more able to get a job in the teaching profession should major in Communications because it is a more flexible program, offering the student a more of a variety. "The new Communications Studies major here at Wilkes is an excellent program," he stated. Aspokesman form the personnel office of the Wilkes-Barre Area School District stated that although he could not make a firm decision because he has not studied the proposal thoroughly, he feels the new EnglishCommunications certification is an improvement, explaining, "A student will be receiving a broader education, which is useful. In a small school district, one person is required to serve in various capacities, such as English teacher, speech teacher and yearbook advisor." He continued that he is not sure the colleges are preparing graduates to handle these responsibilities. This program will guarantee preparation in these areas, making the graduate more desirable JACQUI N'S GIBBS and CULLEN BAND Peppermint Schnapps SOFT ROCK (Proper ID required) Jt's the very best Charles Jacquin et C1e .

Just look at the coaches, personnel, and their accomplishments and you will see why we say unbelievable. Coach Ron Righter was hired as head basketball coach, but he also got the job of head cross-country coach, a sport he knew little about. Despite this the Colonels had their best season ever, 13-4. " I was a little hesitant to coach cross-country when I came here. I didn't know how to keep score and about the different intervals each kid should run," stated Righter, a St. Joe's grad. " The guys have really helped me, they've been patient with me. They saw I was enthusiastic about coaching and they became enthusiastic." Assisting Righter in both basketball and cross-country ·~ Steve Justice, who is a former Minnesota basketballer. But as they say: " A coach is only ' as his players <runners ). " as good Well, Righter has those good runners. However, many didn't have it so easy. The team 's top runner for most of the season has been Ken P ascoe. Even though the sophomore from Nanticoke was hurt with an achilles heel injury most of the season he still managed to take six firsts. Other top runenrs for the Colonels serious though. Last season he was involved in a shooting accident and was fighting for his life. Despite this, Ed ran well this year. Lou Mucciolo never ran crosscountry before, but that didn't stop him from finishing in the top 10 in cooperation . Coach Righter went out of his way several times to assure we would get the results of all the meets. I wish the coaches and the team the best of luck next season. We mentioned at the beginning The Wilkes College cross-country team finished 12th out of 21 teams in last weekend's MAC championships at a swampy Lebanon Valley course. .._ " It was about where we figured we would finish," Coach Ron Righter said, " We were only two points behind Susquehanna and a little better running and we could have been about 9th." Haverford College took top team honors with their runner Mike Shelly taking top individual honors with a winning time of 25: 18. Danny Thomas was the first Colonel finisher, 24th at 27:06. R!ghte_r: said of Thomas, "If he runs this well next week, he'll make nationals." Thomas ran at nationals his freshman year. Ken P ascoe was the next Wilkes finisher at 52nd with 28 :00. Then came Lou Mucciolo and John Supinski tied for 67th at 28 :24. Other Colonel runners finishing were Ed Eppler 80th, Captain Don Patrick 90th, and Roger Da vis 101st. These same runners will travel back down to Lebanon Valley for E astern Regionals this weekend and then, for those who qualify, nationals in Illinois. Rich Nordheim a.-----•--------------•---most of the meets. Ken Waters is like Lou, with not much crosscountry experience. But, Ken continued to inprove. Also, during the last two meets of the season Kenny went to wrestling practice in the morning and ran in the crosscountry meets in the afternoon. · The two seniors on the team are Captain Don P atrick and Roger Davis. Both runners ran their four years at Wilkes and showed much dedication toward the team. We wish them the best luck in their future plans and hope they will continue to run . · On behalf of this paper and myself I thank Coaches Righter and Justice, and the team for their .:Bowling ••• Results • Roger Davis this season have been Danny Thomas, Ed Epler, Lou Mucciolo, captain Don Patrick, E d Cuningham, Roger Davis, J ohn Supinski, ,Kenny Waters, Kevin Cavanagh, · Bob Feldman, Dave Krieger, · Vince D' Amato, and Marie Eiswert (the only girl on the team ). · Danny Thomas, formerly of Wyoming Valley West, had a sensational freshman season. However, during his sophomore year came down with monoucleosis and did not live up to his capabilities. Danny bounced back to be the Colonels' top runner at the end of the season.

Lisa Hughes tossed a 173-487 to keep her Nuts two games ahead of Good News and three up on The Pack who, despite dropping two of three to the BS'ers mm Keba 167-429 l, re mained in contention for a play-off slot. In the American Conference, Poky's, topped by Leo Orlandini's 180475, grabbed three games from the Vets Club to increase their divisional bulge to two-and-a-half games. Tied for second are Bud's who received a 3il bye and the 752 Crew, paced by Jack Kijek's excellent 232-615, who swept the Mother Brothers.

But I think the words of George Bernard Shaw say it best. " Some men see things as they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not. '' Rich Nordheim Polska No Baloney! Took in the Polish National Tea m - Scranton University basketball game last week. Had the pleasure to sit a mong some top area cage coaches including our own Ron Righter a nd Steve Justice. Also on hand were Pete Baran, a top-notc h coach in many leagues and high school all-star Mickey Banas. All were impressed with the play of the "BIG" Polish team. Some of those guys would make a little-known college a national power. J ustice kiddingly asked if any had any college eligibility. We were impressed with the Royals of Bob Bessior . Bessior, a regular guest on Gary Mack's WCLH sportstalk show, has the horses this year after suff_ering through a_n off year last season and don't be suprrised if the Royals rock and roll their way to an MAC title. Back after a year's layoff is "I in the Sky" Irv J ohnson who was simply "super" against the Polish tea m. The Wilkes-Scranton, Kendall McNeil · Irv Johnson game, on TV this year should be a barn-burner. Guess who ran into Boston Celtics standout Larry Bird in Atlanta a week ago. None other than our alumni director Rick Reese. Dr. Reese said he noticed some really tall guys walking around the Atlanta airport and then he recognized Bird. Reese added that all t he Celtics signed autographs and talked to fa ns while waiting for their flight to Boston. Wilkes College Soccer Coach Ernesto Lopez is still upset over last Saturday's 4-3 loss to Delaware Valley and about the an injury to Jim Hart. Hart was injured and had to lay on the field for close to a half-hour waiting for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. 'Lopez was upset about no trainers being present at that game. More on this later. Coach Gay Meyers is doing a super job with her women's field hockey tea m this year. The ladies are becoming a dynasty, ala Wilkes baseball, Scranton basketball, King's basketball a nd Wilkes wrestling. If hard work pays off, look for a banner year from the Wilkes College swim team. The swim team is working vey hard under first year coaches Bob Greenwald and Bob Lewis. The Beacons' own Ji m Edwards is expected to lead the Colonels during the 1979-80campaign. When the smoke clears, look for Frank Kush to be back at Arizona State. This incident shows how important " big-time" college football really is and if winning is the name of the game - nobody does it better than Frank Kush, except maybe Paul "Bear" Bryant, Jim Devaney's hero . One of the toughest lines we've heard recently in a song which relates to sports is: "A fool will lose tomorrow, looking back for yesterday." Think about it! Owen Costello, the city's " Mr. Recreation" and "Mr. Wrestling" says last Friday's Wilkes wrestling scrimmage with Lafayette was a success . Costello knows more about wrestling than anybody you've ever met. Smartest thing Channel 16 (WNEP-TV ) ever did was have him do color for the Wilkes Open championships a few years back. Nancy Roberts showing very positive attitude with the women's basketball team. She's a lot like Ron Righter and both should enjoy their first collegiate coaching seasons with many victories. Pete Rozelle really has the NFL going in the right direction. There are no more "sure picks" in the NFL and betters are taking a beating. Jus t look at the New York Giants. I don't think they know why they're doing so well. We got a letter from King's College Basketball Coach Ed Donohue last week thanking us for mentioning him in a previous issue. P apers in the area are saying Donohue will have a tough time this year with no height, but the Irish mentor has ways of winning ball games. Should be a dog-fight in the MAC race between King's, Scranton, Wilkes and look out for Les Lombardi's Delaware Valley Aggies.

The Colonels officially saw their league championship hopes die last Saturday in a 21-7 upset loss to Juniata Colle e in H~tingdon, Pa. Rollie Schmidt The defeat leaves Wilkes with a 4-2 conference record and a 4-3 overall mark and Coach Rollie Schmidt's team will be looking for its first winning season since 1974 this Saturday when the Blue and Gold host Susquehanna University at Ralston Field at 1:30. You could day the Colonels gave away Saturday's .game. Three times the Wilkesmen gave up the ball (two by fumbles and one interception} and THREE times Juniata capitalized for touchdowns to take the 21 ·7 victory. On the first play from scrimmage of the ga!!)e, Wilkes back Carmen LoPresto fumbled and two plays later. Juniata sophomore quarterback Mike Nett threw an eight-yard scoring strike to Jimmy Jones for a 7-0 Indian lead.

Her girls had just taken on two national powerhouses, defeating one and losing to the other. Both were decided after double overtime periods and a " flock-off." Sandwiched in between, however, wa:s the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Regonal Tournament. The Colonelettes defeated Franklin & Marshall Thursday, left Friday for Susquehanna, played four games Saturday, woke up Sun- · day and played another game, hopped into the school vans with box lunches, traveled 31,i hours to Get- . tysburg and finally dropped a 2-1 decision in the flick-off. Now you know why Coach Meyers was a littie weary . ( A flock-off is a series of five girls going one-on-one with a goalie. This series continues until one team puts more goals in than another.) In the Franklin & Marshall encounter, the Diplomats tallied first 11 minutes in the game. Wilkes had its chances to tie, but could not score.' The second period opened with F&M on attack. The tide changed, however, with 15 minutes left in regulation time junior Jerry Ann Smith took hard shot on goal and the Dip-goalie played it. Diane Hall, Ellie Adams, and Mary Jo Frail were there on the rush and pushed tfie ball back to the goal several times. It ended up that the F&M goalie fell on the ball to prevent any other aciton. A penalty was called and Pam Snyder scored to tie it up at 11. The goal psyched Wilkes up. Then came the two 71; ~ minute over- times. Both teams had seven shots on goal, but neither could score. Wilkes seemed to have a small edge in the two OT's, but F&M's goalie made some super saves. Carol Mar· tin and Jerry Ann Smith scored to give Wilkes the win. The Colonelettes were three goal underdogs going into the F &M match as the Diplomats were ranked No. 9 in the nation and were in the running for an AIA W Tourney slot. Co-captains Smith and Frail both played outstanding games as did Terri Burak. Also playing well was freshman · goalie Rose Shanahan, who had ten saves in regulation and five important ones in OT. In the finals of the MAC on Sunday, Wilkes traveled to meet another national powerhouse in the Gettysburg Bullets. Wilkes scored first in the fast-paced game·as Pam Snyder found the range on an assist by Smith. G-burg came back with two goals to take the lead. Diane Hall hit on an unassisted goal to tie the score at 2-2. The Bullets goalie made some super saves late in regulation to keep Wilkes from scoring. In the first OT Wilkes had five shots on goal compared to one for Gettysburg, but the Bullet "D" held. In the second OT period, the opposite was true as Gettysburg had six shots to Wilkes' none. But somehow Wilkes managed to hold on with Shanahan, Smith, Helen Gorgas, Linday Dayer, and Carol Martin all playing great "D" in the . two periods. Then came Wilkes second flickoff in less than a week. One flick-off is odd, but to have two in the same week is very rare.

A·ccreditation Team . SG Reports Qf Theft ·To Arrive Sunday And Evaluate College In Student Center At the Student Government meetil).g on Monday, SG President Dave Blumfield expressed concern about the break-in that occured at the Student Center sometime last Friday night. Blumfield explained that the thief tried to gain entry by chiseling the hinges on the ·metal doors. "You can see where hunks of metal are missing (from the hinges )", noted Blumfield. " There was a mishap by the ma,intenance men," continues Blumfield, "the deadbolts were not thrown on the doors that night" . As a result the thief probably had no trouble forcing the doors open by pulling on them . Once in the building, they proceeded to the second floor where they broke into three pinball machines and took over $300 contained in them . Blumfield pointed out that an attempt was also made to get money from a change machine, but that attempt was unsuccessful. The break-in was not discovered until 12:00 the next day, when the doors to the Student Center were found open. The police were called, and they feel that they " got some good fingerprints," said Blumfield. The SG president thinks that the thieves were probably students. The three pinball machines that were broken into were "Space Invaders," "Flash," and "Bowling Game." "If anyone hears a rumor or has a sneaking suspicion on who did it, please let me know," added Blumfield, "I want that building wired and I'm not going to have anymore equipment put in until there is proper security in the building.' ' Blumfield · comments, " I'd really like to get this guy or the people who did it, because the building is beautiful and there are a lot of things that can be done"''with it." A request for a loan of $150 by Cue . and Curtain to be used for the casino night was approved by a vote of 24-0-0. The loan is to be paid back when the final tally is taken. The Sociology club was granted $246 to pay for A Sociology Society Conference in Philadelphia for ten students this weekend. The vote was 14-10-0. A request by WCLH for $60 to pay for transportation for 15 students to Philadelphia to take FCC tests for their broadcasting licenses was tabled until next week. Dean Hoover is looking into the possibility of letting WCLH use one of the college vans for the trip . Next week SG will vote on a request by WCLH fo r a loan of $650 for a "Stones Show" concert on November 16. Also, a request has been received by Scott Weiner of the Racquetball Club for $215 to pay for each members' use of the racquetball courts.

Louis Czachor Capi:p Returns After Illness After approximately a week of absence due to severe chest pains, President Robert S. Capin has returned to the normal activities of his administrative office. President Capin was admitted to the hospital last week when he complained of pain~ near his heart. Testing done during the week revealed no signs of heart complications and thus resulted in his release. . After a brief period of convalescence at home, Capin is , reportedly to be in good health and is feeling fine, according to Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs. Preseqtly, the only concern the doctors have for President Capin's health is the possible blockage of arteries. In an attempt to get another opinion on the matter, Capin has gone to Boston earlier in the week to consl!lt another ·physician before undergoing further testing. Peter Steve From November 4 to November 7, the Committee of Higher Educalion of Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools will be on campus to re-evaluate Wilkes College, after nearly a year and a half of preparation by the school. Chaired by Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Drew University, the reevaluation committee will arrive at Wilkes on Sunday, November 4. After settling in at the Hotel Ster!ing, the committee will have dinner - with President Robert S. Capin and his staff then they will conclude their evening with a committee meeting in the Sterling Conference Room . On Monday morning, the committee will meet in the board room of Weckesser Hall, which has been designated as the committee's office during their stay. During this meeting, the committee will decide upon the individual assignments for the evaluation period. In the room will be available various files, maps, publications etc. for each member's use. At one o'clock, Dr. Ackerman will meet with President Capin and various members of the Wilkes' Board of · Trustees for lunch, with a Steering Committee meeting rounding off Monday's agendaat2 :00p.m . Dr. Ackerman has requested that all faculty and administrative personnel be present in their offices from 9 cf.m . to 5 p.m . on Monday and Tuesday unless they have classes. This is for the convenience of the committee members who may wish to speak with the various people. Dr. Ackerman also mentioned that the committee would in- terview anyone who requests it, but the topics discussed in these interviews should be in connection with the re-evaluation process. Topics other than this should be discussed with the proper college officals. During their stay, the reevaluation committee will meet not only with faculty and administrators but with students as well. Student meetings will be done casually throughtout the campus. No classes being interrupted for this purpose, however. Dr. Gerald Hartdgen, Dean of Academic Affairs, stated the committee stressed that they want to disrupt the campus as little as possible during their stay. . Commenting on the chances of reaccreditation, Dean Hartdgen said confidently, "Given Wilkes' strengths, I see no danger of not being re-accredited. I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get it. " Hartdgen went on to say that it really isn't a matter of being reaccredited but rather a matter reacting to the Committee's recomendations. The Wilkes Dean viewed the re-evaluation group as a type of " constructive criticism" upon which an institution can build. Last fall, a special group of facul- . ty, administration and students were divided into six committees : Steering; Goals, Outcome and Program; Students and Student Life; Teaching; Faculty and Governance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. These committees were recommended in guide-lines which the re-evaluation group presented to Wilkes earlier that year. Each committee prepared in- Malfunction in Transformer Caused Fumes In Catlin Hall Within the last two months emergency lighting systems were installed in five buildings on campus including Kirby Hall, Weiss Hall, Chase Hall and McClintock Hall . The transformer in the lighting system in one of those buildings, Catlin Hall, shortcircuited in the early morning hours of Monday, October 15. The varnish coating on the transformer melted causing foul smelling fumes to be given off. As a result of inhalation of these fumes three co-eds spent that Monday night in the Infirmary, another was admitted to Nesbitt Mem.orial Hospital in Kingston, and the remainder of the dorm 's residents spent the night in Sterlin_g Hall. Charles Abate, Business · Manager explained that the malfunction in the transformer was caused by an intermittent short. and that if it had fully shorted out. the circuit breaker would have trip- ped. He continued by saying that the varnish coating on the transformer melted and that that is what probably caused the fumes. He stressed that the fumes were "nothing toxic whatsoever." Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, confirmed this by saying that the fumes "did not cause any health hazard except discomfort. " Abate added that there was no evidence of anything burning. He noted that similar mechanisms have been in several other buildings on campus for many years. . Shaw expained that representatives from the York Light Company of Philadelphia were in town on Tuesday, October 23 to check out the system. Shaw stressed, "There is no need for any kind of alarm ." He added that the emergency lighting systems were installed to conform with the Panic and Safety Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . Those laws require fire rated doors, enclosed stairwells, emergency lighting, etc . Abate reasoned that Luann Ashbaugh, a resident of Catlin Hall had been taken to the hospital as a "precautionary measure because she said she wasn't feeling well. " Ashbaugh noted that the fumes smelled bad and " kind of made us high ." She :tsserted that the doctors at the hospital had concluded that she did not have enough oxygen in her bloodstream. Also, they · attributed the cause of the low oxygen level to breathing in too many fumes . Ida Rigley college nurse, noted that the girls had headaches and they indicated that they did not feel well. Mrs. Rigley said the doctors informed her that they could not determine what the fumes were on the basis of the tests they performed on the girls. Louis Czachor terim reports that were summerized into one document by·Dr. Robert Kelly and Alfred Groh for submisson to the Middle States Association. During this process, the biggest problem was summarizing all the reports which, in the end totalled about 300 pages. Each group wanted to make sure all of the important fa~ts were contained in their summary. After a stern request for a summarized report by the Middle States Association, Groh completed the difficult task. While explaining Wilkes' financial position in connection with the re-evaluation process, Dean Hartdagen interjected, " In my judgement, the most important aspect of a college not being re-accredited is a poor financial situation." When colleges are refused accreditation, the circumstances surrounding the decision must be very deep and 7 out of 10 times, the problem is usually financially oriented. Dean Hartdgen added proudly that, "Wilkes is in a sound financial situation," and that this problem . should not concern the campus community. Besides Dr. Ackerman, the reevaluation committee is comprised of Sister Mary Berchmans Coyle, Associate Dean of Continuing Education at Pace University, Reverend Richard J . Devine, Vice President for Student Affairs at St. John's University, Rhoda G. Freeman. Associate Professor of History at Upsala College. Bernard L. Greenberg. Director of Admissions and Records at Gallaudet College, Leonard E . Spiegel. Chairman of Biology Department at Monmouth ·college and Phillip B. · Schaeffer. Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer at Western Maryland College. Wilkes received a biographical sketch of each member with the authority to veto any person who might be biased towards the school. On this committee, Wilkes did veto one member with no objection from the Middle States Association who strives for absolute fairness . On Wednesday, November 7, President Capin and his staff will meet with the re-evaluation committee in a debriefing session concerning the committees results. In this conclusive meeting, factual errors in the study will be corrected with the expeded confirmation of re-accrediation being made known publicly for the first time.

The fourth annual Science Expo was held on Saturday, October 27, featuring displays from the Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Math and Computer Science, Engineering, Earth and En• 1 vironmental Science, Nursing and Health Science departments. Dr. Les Turoczi, Expo coor· dinator stated the event was a ma· jor success with over 175 visitors from as far away as central New Jersey, Bradford County, Binghamton and Delaware Water Gap. He continued that he was very impressed with the quality of the visiting students. They were prepared to ask intelligent and pro· bing questions of the faculty and student workers. This year also, some student visitors were accompanied by their parents, a somewhat new addition. One parent commented that he has visited similar events at other col· leges· and the Wilkes Expo was superior to any of the others he has seen. Another parent stated that it was refreshing to see students have access to sophisticated equipment, such as that used at the Expo. He continued that at other colleges, it seems only the faculty operate the equipment. "It's nice to see faculty members who have faith in the students, " he said. The day's agenda included a guided tour of Stark Learning Center in the morning hours. This gave each visitor a chance to -view all of the science departments at one time. In the afternoon, students were allowed to visit the exhibits or department of their choice. Dr. Turoczi stated, " Each department had at least one excellent and several very good exhibits.'' He concluded, " I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated; students who ushered or helped prepare the displays for exhibition and faculty who devoted time to the expo from their busy work schedules. Hopefully, this tradition of success can be carried on in future years." Patti Sparlow FOUND Two coats have been found. One is a blazer and the other is a red nylon jacket.

His definition of success in the theater or in any other endeavor is to look back and realize that you've had a lot of fun . "The Paper Chase" will be brought back on public television according to Houseman but he most probably will not be doing another weekly television series. Why? "The offer would have to be extremely attractive and it is also a tremendous amount · of work," stated Houseman. He is still making movies, commercials and just finished a movie for television en· titled, "Gideon's Trumpet." The movie will be out in March and deals with a man's right to legal counsel. "The movie is about an ac· tual case that was brought before the Supreme Court and I play the chief justice," explains Houseman. "When I am approached about a role, I look for how absurd the script is, what I can do with the part and who's doing the Picture," the Academy-Award winner continues. He likes doing the college lectures quite a lot and is currently doing a tour of the college circuit partly promoting his book FRONT AND CENTER. Houseman feels that he had no advantages going into acting later than most people. His first acting role was in the "Paper Chase" which won him an Oscar. " The director of the movie, Jim Bridges, needed a rather ferocious in· dividual to play the role of Kingsfield and asked me," 1 Houseman continues, "I'm not sure whether I had the ferocity or not but i!_ ~as a great deal of fun ." The Student Center Board at this I week's meeting has decided to look into the purchase of an ultra violet stamper for all parties held at the center. It seems that no matter what ink stamp is now used it is be· ing duplicated by people who want to go to SUB parties but who are unwilling to buy tickets. The bar is ex-, peeled to be completed the week after next. Also brought up at the meeting was the stuffing of the foosball table. The table is supposed to give 12 balls per game for $.25. Un• fortunately when people stuff the table with paper napkins and other things only 3 balls are received for ~~e same $.~ff_ ~ · The student center worker from now on will have a key to the table so any person getting only 3 balls will be able to go to the worker and get his other 9 balls. The foosball table along with the other machines are there for enjoyment and money making. The board noted that the student center cannot make any money · when the foosball table is stuffed by people who just want to have a few extra balls per game. Refund money from any of the machines due to a person can be picked up by that persori on Thursdays from 2·4 p.m. in the afternoon in the Student Center's office.

In a comr"1.rison between American and British acting students he claims that there are no enormous differences. "After the trouble of the 60's, American acting students are much more dedicated," explains Houseman, "There are many advantages and disadvantages to students behind the Iron Curtain." He further explains that the students are observ· ed and automatically drafted. "This is fine in that they get a job but it restricts the freedom of the individual.

Lurie, production arranger for the concert, said "Beatie Magic," back from their triumphant national tour of America and Japan, and prior to their tour of South America, has agreed to perform for the benefit of the MultiPurpose Stadium Research Organization on one night only. The two-hour show which includes slide projections, superior lighting, fantastic costuming and live stage performances has been a sell-out throughout the country. According to a representitive of the Stanely Warner Theatre in New Jersey where "Beatie Magic" performed, "The screaming didn't stop from the time they started the show until the time they stopped.

President Mike Stapleton commended all IDC members who helped to make the IDC-CC Halloween Party on October 26 a success. Stapleton felt that the party had gone over very well and that it had been run smoothly. The only complication that arose was the failure of the security guards to attend, though they had been hired for the -event. However, there were no problems at the party that required the security guards. Under the Student Center report, the progress on the basement was updated. Stapleton stated that the cooler and the sink for the bar area had arrived and were being installed. The bar itself is now being built. It is hoped that the basement of the Student Center will be finished sometime in November. In new business, it was reported that Dana Hall is being repainted, and that an emergency lighting system for Dana will be forthcoming. Paul Adams, Housing Director, stated that the space heaters which are available in the Housing Office for "inadequately heated rooms in the dorms will be given out less readily this year since the thermostats for the dorms are set at 65 degrees. Adams also reminded IDC members that the heaters are not meant for continuous use, since they may be a fire hazard. _ Stapleton reminded IDC members of the Tri-Organizational meeting scheduled for Sunday night, November 4, at 7:00 P .M. The president also noteq that a joint IDC-CC meeting will be held on Sunday, November 18 at 6:00 P.M. in the library.

" In the first part of the dual presentation, the early Beatles are recreated with their naive style of music, the gray collarless suits, Vox amplifiers and Ludwig drums. The second portion of the show depicts more sophisticated music and behavior with bold but colorful Sergeant Pepper outfits. The concert is the third stage of a four phase fund raising drive. In the first stage, area sportsmen contributed over $10,000 through a sports-entertainment sweepstakes. The second stage of soliciting regional businesses is currently underway with the fourth phase of soliciting local governments scheduled to begin shortly. The feasibility study, which is to begin by the end of this Fall and will be completed by the Spring of 1980, is costing between $20,000 and $30,000. Attorney John J. McGee, President of Northeastern Pennsylvania Pro Baseball Inc., said the central theme is that civic-minded citizens from all walks of life can effect positive change in the community through organized effort and hard work. Tickets for the concert which are priced at $6.50, $7 .50, and $8.50, may be purchased at book and record stores in the Scranto11r - WilkesBarre area and at the offices of student governments at local colleges.

ANl1 \f ¥ f lo ~\'IS The game show, "Let's Make A Deal," and Saturday's Student Center party made up this year's Junior Weekend sponsored by the CLass of 1981. Though a few improvements could have been made, it was generally considered a success. The importance of the weekend, however, lies in the people who organized it and their work. For the first time in many years, all four Junior Class officers are commuters. This is an extremely rare situation and believe it or not many people resent it. Class officers are usually dorm students and it is always the dorm stud~nts who put all the time and effort into the class activities.The Junior class, however, has changed all _that by proving that the commuters can offer just as much. Though some dorm students did put a lot of time and effort into the weekend, the majority of the work was done by commuters. "Let's Make A Deal" was very well organized and much work and dedication was evident. It was a success but if a different emcee was used the flow of the show would have been much more comfortable and enjoyable. The Junior class took a gamble because audience participation is the center of this type of show. Though a larger crowd would have been more desirable for the most part things worked out in the class' favor. The Student Centefl)arty ran smoothly with everyone having an excellent time. It wasn't an average SC party either, with food being served along with beer. · We commend the Class of 1981 officers, Colleen Gries- President, Norm Witko- Vice-President, Margaret Scholl- Secretary, and Bill Miller- Treasurer. Though other organizations have sponsored more successful events and Commuter Council is an active organization for commuters; these four people deserve credit for working successfully in an area that has been traditionally held by dorm students. Wanted: Letters This paper is for everyone on campus and should be treated as such. Though most of the articles are written and edited by staff members we do accept and encourage Letters to the Editor. Over the last two years we have received many letters. They have expressed important feelings and dealt with many controversial issues around campus. We feel it is the best way for anyone to communicate their views to the entire "Wilkes College Family." When something is put in print it car. ies a much greater impact than by word of mouth. This year, however, we are not recefving as many letters and we don't understand why. Everyone must have opinions and most of them should be heai;d. Some say the best part of any newspaper is its Letters to the Editor section. It often proves to be the most interesting to read. However, this only works through your input as readers. If you have a gripe, comment, idea, or words of praise you want expressed to the college write a letter. Though you may not see an immediate reaction your letter will be read by a lot of important people. HSC Members .

November I. 197!1 Dr. Marban's Love For Education Brought Her To Spanish Countryside Interesting lives comes to those who have enough spirit, it seems. Such is the case with Dr. Hilda Marban, Associate Professor of Foreign Languages. Dr. Marban, a native of Cuba, immigrated to the U.S . as a political refugee when Fidel Castro came to power. Dr. Marban, her husband and family had a " narrow escape" as they fled from Cuba. Both Marban and her husband were full professors in the University of Havana. She related that the night of their last lecture at the University, all of her and her husband's published books were put into a bonfire and burned on the University grounds because the Marbans were targeted as "enemies of the revolution." The Marbans became active in the underground and aided countless students by helping .therti find safety and passage out of Cuba. Ironically, Dr. Marban's last lecture at the University was on Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. Years later she would receive her third P.H.D. (her first in the U.S.) from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, a university founded by Jefferson. Dr. Marban's feelings on Cuba and U.S. foreign affairs run strong. After having an uncle die in a concentration camp and a stepson be detained in one for ten yea'rs, Dr. Marban commented that the "island is a concentration camp." She feels that the biggest mistake in American foreign policy was to allow a Communist takeover of a country only ninety miles from the U.S. shores. By denying air support to battle the revolutionaries, the U.S. not only backed down on it~ policy of containment of Communism, but allowed the U.S.S.R. a foothold into the Americas. Dr. Marban attributed the widespread political unrest in Latin America and Vietnam to this Communist stronghold in Cuba and pointed out that Cuban mercenaries now fight for the U.S.S.R. worldwide. Dr. Marban has a keen interest in the political and social aspects of the Spanish culture. While doing research on Spanish colon_ies in the New World, Marban found that although much had been written on the 16th and 18th centuries of the colonies on Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba, little was known about the 17th century. Dr. Marban spent a month researching primary sources in the Archives of the Indias in Seville, Spain. The colonial archives contained all the manuscripts and records from the countries Spain discovered and colonized. The records were fragile and difficult to read but Dr. Marban found them a challenge. Another field of interest is her research in Spanish folklore. Dr. Marban has visited all the countries in South and Central America, all of the Spanish speaking countries in North America and Spain. During her stay in Seville. She was able to observe, the celebrations during Holy Week in April which featured its world-reknown procession. This procession consists of a multitude of Catholic congregations and magnificent floats (one hundred and three in all) . In addition to visiting Cordoba and Granada, Dr. Marban traveled through the rest of Spain. -She also visited France, Portugal and Italy, and sampled the cultures through the museums, the cathedrals, the opera and ballet. Marban's favorite city is Rome. Her de!' t and fascination with the Marban is optimistic. She finds research and writing fascinating because there is "so much to learn." Although she admits to battling apathy in students she asserts . that teaching is fruitful and her spirit prevails.

She spent a year in Spain while on sab' ~ ·-....;._.__ batical. city stems from her impression that the "whole city is a museum." From all of her many experiences : spending time in Cordoba; the birthplace of the Roman philosopher Seneca; seeing Lisbon, the capital of Portugal ; and visiting the Louvre; Dr. Marban was able to pick out her most emotional experience. This was at Lourdes, France. The town of Lourdes is of religious importance and its water draws people from around the world. The story of Lourdes is that a poor country girl had a vision of the Virgin Mary appear to her during a terrible drought and because of her vision she found a spring in the middle of an old mine thus saving the town. The water then became famous all over the world and had mystical properties of curing attributed to it, -Thousands of people who are terminally ill come to drink the water of Lourdes. Every night at 8 or 8: 30 P .M . people gather in front of the grotto and pray the rosary in ten to twelve languages. Then a procession with 'candles follows. The.night Dr. Marban witnessed the procession at Lourdes was cold and rainy, but she wanted to experience this religious event. She saw five to six thousand terminally ill people, young and old from the sanatorium gather and sing and pray. As the procession went around the grotto she and her son joined it. Turning around momentarily to see the cathedral behind her, she was amazed to see that the procession consisted of over 25,000 people holding candles, walking, singing and steering carriages. In each carriage lay a sick or dying person and the look of faith was so strong on their faces that it made her " feel so humble. " The procession ended in an underground cathedral where it took some three hundred priests to give blessing and communion to all tl)e people. Dr. Marban's ultimate ,goal is to compile two books on folklore, one on Latin American and one on Spanish folklore, which will include everything that she has seen. Although there are many obstacles to overcome before publication, .. __ ____ ... Wilkes Letterwomen's Club Active On And Off Campus The Wilkes Letterwomen's Club, which consists of those women who have lettered in a varsity sport, such as field hockey, tennis, volleyball, swimming, basketball or softball is one of the most active clubs on campus. This fall they have been busy operating the concession stand at the home football games. Some of their activities last year included the sale of Homecoming tee-shirts and candy. They also sponsor annual Parent's Day and alumni games for each sport. During the last week of the Christmas break they hold an Invitational Women's Basketball Tournament, in memory of Coreen Santoro, a former letterwoman who died of cancer three years ago. The Letterwomen also sponsor a raffle at the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament. The concession stand and raffle held at the wrestling tournament are the Letterwomen's major source of income, with money going towards the financeing of the Let~ tewomen's winter jackets. After lettering for two years in the same sport she will receive the Letterwomen's winter jacket. A trainer or manager of a sport for two consecutive years also receives a letter. Honorary members of the club include the coaches of women's sports and Mr. and Mrs. Santoro, parents of Coreen, who have made contributions to the club the past several years. The club annually awards a scholarship to a senior, which is voted on by the members of the club. It is given as a service award. The recipient of the award is in charge of the concession stand for the year. This year's scholarship winner is Sue Freda. There is also a Coreen Santoro Memorial, another service award given to a senior for her dedication to the sport, awarded at the end of the year. Last year's winner was LuAnn Neely. The Letterwomen's Club is advised by Doris Saracino and the club officers are: President, Judy Bellis; Vice-President, Rose McMahon ; Treasurer, J ackie Wiendl; Corresponding Secretary, Doreen Swiatek ; and Recording Secretary, Sarah Farley. ~· , ~ J(!dy Johnson HERE'S HOWi- $10.00 OFF ON AIIY ULTRIUM'R/#G ...

During his lecture, Houseman stated that in his lifetime amazing things have occurred in the communication of dramatic material. First, there were silent movies, then the "talkies, " radio, and finally television. He feels however, that "after all is said and done, the theater is the heart. and core of dramatic communications.'' Between fifty and sixty years ago, the public went to the theater because that was the only form of dramatic communication available other than attending church and political events. " Today however, unless you are a hermit, you are subjected to 4 to 16 hours of dramatic entertainment per week from television alone." Houseman entered theater in the early 1930's through federal theater projects of the WPA, which was a federal project to employ people during the Depression as stage hands or actors. Houseman recalls co-directing the Negro Theater of the Federal Theater of the WP A in New York City as an exciting experience. " I had to take 750 people in the tempestuous neighborhood of Harlem and create actors of them ." His solution was to divide the theater _into two parts. The secoM half of the theater would be a classical theater. This part of the theater successfully presented " Macbeth" with was directed by Houseman's close friend Orson Welles. In this play, Houseman stated that bongo drums were needed for several musicians. Several of the people affiliated with the play requested six goats. " So we procured the goats for them, and the next day, we had drums," chuckled Houseman. · Approximately one and one half years later, Houseman and Welles ' formed a Broadway theater composed of approximately 75 percent vaudevilleans.

Later, when the · theater was closed down by· the police, because Houseman and Welles had been accused of presenting obscenities, a migration of actors, musicians and over 3000 people took place to a theater over 22 blocks away. Houseman and Welles were determined that " the show must goon." The third theater Houseman was involved in was the Mercury Theater, which led to the development of " The Mercury Theater on the Air" during which the notorious " War of the Worlds" was broadcast. Houseman then helped found the Shakespearean theater in Stratford. This especially interested him because he said, " I was working with a company of young actors, playing to relatively young audiences most of whom never saw a Shakespearean play before. I believe the audiences went away with a wonderful enrichment because of the elaborate costumes, music and rich language ." After a brief stay in Europe, he became affiliated with the Julliard School in New York City as the director of the drama division. As a traveling company, they have received requests from schools including Harvard and Princeton for performance dates. Now in its eighth year of operation, graduates from the Julliard School include Robin Williams, alias " Mork"; Christopher Reeves, famous for his portrayal of "Superman" in the movie of the same name ; and Patti Lepore, better known as "Evita" on Broadway. Houseman continued ffiat the theater has managed to adjust to changes and survive in the present society. " The theater has the strength which none of the mass media can destroy ; that of living actors and live communication," concluded Houseman. After the lecture, he entertained questions from the audience. When asked why he decided to become an actor, he simply replied, "Someone asked me." He also stated that he mistrusts the Nielson ratings, when commenting on the cancellation of his television show, "The Paper Chase." He feels the "Chase's" audience was much larger that the estimated 12 million, composed mostly af sporadic viewers who do not show . up on polls such as the Nielson ratings. He continued that another j series does not seem imminent in · his future " unless it was really Isomething special for a TV show.'' Of all the things he has done, he -feels there has not been one single greatest accomplishment. He explained, " I am proud of everything I have done and look back on everything with equal affection." - Patti Sparlow GENEBAL'SMVS-,~FACTOllY PUBL!C SQUA~~ ~ ALL 7.98 LP'S 54 9 .99 5 ALL 8.98 LP'S 5. 9 ...

Some of these buildings have gained more notice than others. In fact three of these, McClintock, Weiss and Catlin are considered to have historical significance and have placed in the Na tional Historic Register. In Wyoming Valley there are approximately twelve historic Historically the house is important due to the fact that Attorney McClintock was descended from Charles Cist, and 18th century publisher who was associated with Benjamin Franklin. Among the books Cist published were two by Thomas Paine. McClintock also helped to preserve some of Pennsylvania history by donating to the college all prints, paints, and professional changeover in styles makes Weiss Hall almost unique. The college acquired the building in 1957 thanks to the generosity of Aaron and Tess Weiss. At present Weiss Hall, as well as McClintock and Catlin, is being used as a dormitory. The college has kept the style of the structures intact and, aside from a few recent interior changes the basic style remains the same. Catlin Hall Catlin Hall was purchased by Wilkes in 1957. Although a few minor renovations were made on the building around 1906, it appears much the same as it did when it was first built. The architectural style of the building is a Georgian form with decorative detailing. / The importance of the house lies with its original owner, George Catlin, an artist who is world famous for his paintirgs and books which are included in the register. are given financial aid for the upkeep and renovation of th struc·tures. Until last year the government ruled that any building which was not open for public tours could not receive financial aid for restoration of the structure. Last year, however , a new ruling was passed to allow private individuals and institutions to receive money to keep these historic buildings in repair. Due to this new policy Wilkes is slated to receive funding this year, if all goes well. The college is researching the histories of many of the other b11ildings on campus to see if some of them may have _historical importance. There is a positive feeling that other buildings carry such • significance with them. In any case the rising cost of repairs may result in the razing of many of the majestic old Wilkes buildings.

The size· of the building has been increased several times over the years and the present structure is nearly three times the size of the original house erected in 1841. manuscripts and books regarding the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania. These objects are kept in the McClintock Room of the F arley Library. The building has no distinct architectural period, but is rather a combination of many periods, which were added to it over the years. Weiss Hall Weiss Hall was originally built in · the Greek Revival style of archetecutre around 1850. One of the owners of the house, Samuel Brown, decided to change the style of the house to the Queen Anne style. Although the majority of the house is now in now in the Queen Anne style some of the Greek Revival still remains, such as the narrow center hall. This complete Dr.Bogucki ToLedure Archaeologist, Peter Bogucki, will present a slide lecture on "The Archaeology of Early Farmers in Lodz, Poland," creating a picture of life in Poland in the 4th millenium BC, on Sunday, November 4 at 3 p.m. in Stark Learning Center room 1. Bogucki, a native P ennsylvanian of Polish heritage is currently finishing his Ph.D dissertation at Harvard University. While a student at the University of Pennsylvania, he co-directed excavations at the Kosciusko National Monument in Philadelphia. Interest in Poland led him to attend a summer language program there and carry out archaeological research. His project has been carried out at several sites. Although they had no knowledge of metal, the early farming cultures in Poland were successful and longlasting. The houses were made of wood and mud plaster. These people farmed grain, raised cattle, and made stone tools and pottery. Bogucki is particularly interested in reconstructing their economic system from the bones and other discarded items. The lecture is sponsored by Polish heritage groups from the Wyoming Valley, the Junior Kosciusko Association and the Department of SociologyAnthropology .

"The lopsided score did not however reflect the caliber of soccer played by the Wilkesmen. They displayed, perhaps, the best soccer they have played this season and were not intimidated by the reputation E-town had for being one of the finest teams in the nation. Our booters · played head to head against them, never backing down or giving up. A major reason for the Wilkes setback was the lack of a bench . Coach Ernesto Lopez was only able to make one substitution the whole game. Meanwhile, E-town 's mentor was shuffling players on and off the field the whole game. By the second period. the Wilkes players were ex· hausted as nearly every starter had to play the whole game. Coach Lopez stated after the contest that he was extremely happy with the way his Colonels perform• ed against the Blue Jays . He felt that if they can play like that the rest of the year, Wilkes can come away with a few more victories. In a game played two days prior to the E-town encounter, Wilkes shutout the Albright College Lions 2·0 in Reading. Chip Brill tallied the first goal for Wilkes on a header, the toughest way to score in soccer. It was a super shot by the WilkesBarre North-Ender. The other goal was scored by offensive leader Dung Chi Duong (Zumi l on a penalty kick. The defense, led by senior captain Nick Golowich, has to be commended on their outstanding play as they recorded their initial shutout of the 1979 campaign.

The Wilkes College field hockey team of Coach Gay Meyers completed the regular season this past week on an up note. The week started out bad, with the Colonelettes dropping a close 2-1 decision to Division II powerhouse Bucknell University. The Wilkes women came back strong however as they convincingly defeated both Albright and Madison FDU by 5-1 and 5-0 scores. In the Bucknell match, Wilkes had its moments of glory. A hotly contested match right to the end, both Wilkes and Bucknell seemed to play just a little bit sloppy. Seventeen minutes into the first half, Bucknell's Kathy Kline, an AllAmerican candidate, took advantage of a Wilkes error to rebound a shot past goalie Rose did not score until there was six minutes left in the first half. Diane Hall took a rebound off a Smith shot and blasted it in for the tally. Hall's goal gave Wilkes the sp.irk , they needed.

Gary Mack Bowling Results STAIRCASE LOUNGE BEER Smith, Frail - Will Be Hard To Replace - "It's going to be a tremendous gap to fill in one year. If I start looking right now, I doubt very much if I can find a player of their talent, no less two," was the way field hockey Coach Gay Meyers put it in speaking of senior co-captains Mary Jo Frail and Jerry Ann Smith. "The leadership of both players will be very hard to replace". Mary Jo and Jerry Ann entered Wilkes and field hockey in September of '76 and have gone on to become 3 year starters and all stars. This year they were honored by their team- Mary Jo Frail mates by being elected co-captains. " I feel proud to be a part of this team . Being a co-captain of a team of this talent makes me fee that much prouder," said Mary Jo. She came out of Meyers High School in Wilkes-Barre and is now a senior psychologyeducation major. "Mary Jo in one of the hardest working girls I've ever had since being at Wilkes. Her stickwork has improved each year. And for the first time in three seasons, - she's healthy," Coach Meyers said. In 1976 Mary Jo was named Honorable Mention at the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association regional tournament. In both '77 and '78 she was picked to the first team of the NPWIAA, the local college league. She also participated in basketball and softball, and will co-captain the softball team this year. In 1977 she was named Beacon Woman Athlete of the Year, and won a similar honor presented by the Athletic Department in 1978. She has scored 10 goals and had 38 assists to date in het career. · Jerry Ann came out of Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster and is a senior nursing major. "Jas is probably the best player Wilkes has ever seen. She knows where and how to create play. She's been the playmaker and spark the last 4 years", said Meyers. Jerry Ann was the first Wilkes player to be named to the first team at the SFNA Regional Tournament in 1976 and achieved that honor again in 1977. Jas went on both years to the Mideast Regionals. In 1978 she was named to the second team at Susquehanna and again went on to the Mideast Regionals. That year however, she advanced all the way to the National Tournament in Ellensburg, Washington. Pam Snyder also made the trip to the Nationals. Jas has scored 22 goals and recorded 31 assists in her career.- She also _played softball last year for the first time and was one of the starting pitchers. · "We're not a team of superstars. We're a TEAM . It's a total effort of every person on the team," said Jerry Ann. Mary Jo echoed that statement by saying "We don't have the talent that some of the other teams we beat may have. But we play as a team . There are no individuals here." Both girls are high in praise for their coach. " I don't think I would be playing hockey at another school. Because of my schedule, Mrs. Meyers had to do a lot of rearranging. She makes every player feel like part of the team," said Jas. Mary Jo added, "Mrs. Meyers has done a great job. We had a good program when I got here but she has gone out pnd recruited some excellent players. We now have a chance to win more games than any other Wilkes field hockey team and all the credit has to be given to Mrs. Meyers." Coach Meyers came back with, "it makes coaching easier if you have people like Mary Jo and Jerry Ann on your side." · · After graduation in· May, Mary Jo plans on taking it easy and look for a job. "Eventually I plan on going to grad school, but not directly after graduation." Jerry Ann's plans are more definite. "I'm going to take the summer off, and then go into the Navy Nurse Corps. " Wilkes is presently 9-2-3 and already has won its second straight MAC·Northern Division Crown and tied for first place in the NPWIAA league. A total team effort helped make this possible, but it was the extra efforts of two senior co-captains that took the Colonettes over the top .

According to Mike Sibilia, resident assistant of Bedford, the party "went over well" . No damage to the dorm or any fights had occurred. No tickets were sold for the party as dorm members collected money to pay for the kegs from their guests. The party generally broke up about 2:00 :i '!1..

Farber and Evans installed in their room . SG President tJriticizes . The Negative Attitudes Student Government President Dave Blumfield spoke out against the negative attitudes that students have on the Wilkes campus. "Most people speak out without knowing the facts," Blumfield explained. " It is Student Government's job is to tell the students the facts about this campus." He went on to say that SG must make a greater effort to inform the student body al)out the campus and keep them updated to any changes which occur in it. This speak out against negative attitudes came about as a result of recent comments concerning the new Student Center. "The stud,ents complain that not enough people can attend the parties at the center,"Blumfield continued, "they don't seem to realize that the party limit has been increased to fifty people over last year's SUB parties." Blumfield believes that SG should set them straight and give them the facts . Despite minor projection problems the film "Magic " was deemed a success by the SG film committee. The film was a near so:?llout for two showing last Friday. The social committee proposed two possible themes for this year's Winter Weekend. The first theme would center around the winter Olympic games. Under this theme groups of students would represent different countries and compete in different events. The second theme deals with a beach party in the gym . The particulars for this theme have not been set so far . · The SG coffee house- featuring Michael Bacon went well although SG thought attendance was sparse. About 73 people showed up for the event and it was rep9rted that all seemed · to enjoy themselves. Slocum Hall donated $50 to the new Student Center fund. Blumfield applauded their generosity and expressed hope that other Wilkes students would take such an interest in the center. Blumfield ended the meeting with !)residential comments and a reminder that the Triorganizational meeting will be Nov. 4th. Bill Turcan John Houseman has been a towering figure for nearly half, a century in many aspects of the media and will be visting the Wilkes Campus Sunday, October 28th. He will be appearing under the auspices of the Concert and Lecture Series. Houseman, who portrayed the serious Professor Kingsfield in · the CBS series ''The Paper Chase," will give a lecture at 8 p.m . .at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Houseman, who is 77 years of age, started his "chase" about 47 years ago, when in 1931, he decided to dedicate himself to writing for the theater exclusively. His first success came just three years later, not as writer but as a director for the Stein-Thomson opera " Four Saints in Three Acts." From then on he was an absolute success in everything that he attempted. Houseman co-founded "Mercury Theater of the Air," with Orson Welles on the radio. The two combined their talents to produce a story c;alled "War of the Worlds," a dramatization of a Martian invasion of the Atlantic Coast near New Jersey. This dramatic presentation sent the entire nation into a p'anic that lasted days. Also during this Three Yr. Alpha Campaign Quickly Approaching Goal With the three year. "Alpha" Campaign heading into its final stages, Dr. Thomas Kelley, Dean of External Affairs, is pleased to announce that 2.1 of the 2.4 million dollar goal has been reached.

The dorm was believed safe, so the girls were allowed to stay. On Monday morning, people from the Housing Office investigated. A battery was removed which is believed to have caused the smell.

In this capacity, . he worked with Alfred Hitchcock on the script of "The Saboteur," directed Ingrid Bergman in "Anna Christie," and was producer director for tbe world premiere of Soroyan's" Hell Out There." Houseman produced 18 feature films for Paramount, Universal, and M-G-M studios between 1945 and 1962. He then turned his attention towards television and received three Emmy _Awards in 1957, 1958, and 1959. The versatile man taught at Vassar, Barnard and the Universi• ty of Missouri in Kansas City.

In the final analysis, criteria by which topics are, chosen to be presented on the news are based on what the journalist knows; his knowledge of what has happened, and what is going to happen. Mostly, that which affects the most people in a given area, something that deviates from the status quo, and an event which may be part of a trend or the beginning of a trend, constitutes news, states Martin. "Sometimes the media create news," believes Martin, " because the mere presence of the cameras and reporters can alter the story ; people tend · to perform for cameras." He adde<: that the journalist must take extra precautions to prevent being used by any party trying to advance their own interests. With the increase in technology and electronic media, Martin feels there will be a forced confrontation sometime in the near future. He continues, "The media will never get away from the reporter, with a pencil in hand, question in mind, and well-rounded background." The best kind of education an aspiring journalist can strive for is a broad liberal arts one.

CC President Bill Lewis noted that six positions are open on the Council for the Freshman class and presently there are seven nominees trying to fill those positions. Lewis stated that several of the candiates were nominated even though they were absent during the actual nomination. Lewis quickly pointed out that these particular candidates had legitimate excuses for not beinl! present during the nomination.

Bruce Williams, Food Committee Chairman, reported that a major complaint was that many dorm students feel they should be given a refund for all the meals they do ,not eat in the cafeteria since they have paid for twenty meals a week in their room and board payment. According to William Denion, Supervisor of Food Services at Wilkes, the amount that students pay for eating in the cafeteria is approximat'!ly 75 percent of the actual cost of the meals since it is estimated that about 25 percent of the meals paid for are not eaten. Denion feels that the 20 meal plan in effect now is better tfian any alternative plans which could be used. Other possible plans include a ~ .

English, Grammar, Literature, Spelling, Political Science, History, Economics, and Philosophy are essential for a reporter. Also, real work experience on the college newsijaper, radio station or any other related activity is time well spent, says Martin. • . " Competition in the field after graduation is brutal, " he states. There are limited opportunities in broadcast journalism. Right now in the United States, there are only 4000 television journalists, working on 400 local television stations with news shows. Every year, there are 4000 graduates looking for jobs. The best preparation is a broadly based education and as much practical experience as possible, explains Keith Martin. The best advice he feels he can give to anyone wishing to get in the field of journalism is, "Learn everything about everything that you can, use the written and spoken language concisely, and be prepared to travel anywhere to ac- · cept any job in the general field to get a start." The other communications that will be offered next summer are Communications 101, Principl~s of Communication; Communications 212, Editing and Advanced News Writing; Communications 202, Group Discussion; -Communications 240, Introduction to Broadcasting; and possibly Communications 398, a Topics course in Feature Writing.

Many people feel too much attention was drawn to it by this paper but the party was a first and will have a definite effect on whether more parties of this kind will be held in the future . Presently, parties are restricted to the new Student Center. The dorms can sponsor smaller parties with no more than a quarter keg of beer and 15 people involved. We know there are numerous violations to this policy that go unnoticed but when the violators do get caught the book is thrown at them. , The men of Bedford Hall wanted to sponsor a party that would inVQlve everyone in the dorm and not just have another Student Center party. They wanted to sponsor a party in the dorm. By going through the proper channels they received permission from the Dean's Council. This was the first legal party in a dorm in over a year and a half. It was held in a constructive manner with many people having a good time. No damage was done to the dorm and no unfortunate in-· cidents occurred. Overall, it was a good party. - We were disappointed to hear that the Inter-Dormitory Council didn't even mention the party's success, let alone the party itself, at this Sunday's meetiAg. If they are trying to revise the party policy to meet the students' needs they should have paid close attention to this party. It should go down in the records as being successful in order that other dorms be able to share the same opportunity. We commend Jim Deyaney and Mike Sibilia, the resident assistants, and all the men of Bedford, for not letting the party get out of hand which it easily could have. Parties of this kind need people to assume responsibility. An adequate party policy revision would be one that allows and encourages parties like this one. Restrictions will be necessary so that we don't degenerate to tne stage where damage to the dorm occurs. Responsibility will have to be assumed by all students if this is to work, but Bedf6rd's party is a good example of just that. Say Cheese The Theater department produced "Caesar and Cleopatra" this past weekend and with much success. Though some people said the play was too long, most enjoyed it a great deal. One of our staff members attended the play and wrote~ reviewt We originally planned to have a picture accompany the review but our photographer was told that he was not allowed to take any pictures during the performanc~. In the past pictures have been taken during performances but without the use of a flash for extra lighting. That rule has been obeyed. This is not Broadway folks and all we wanted to do was to click the camera a couple of times (without a flash) to get a few pictures. Some student from the Theater department harassed our photographer while he was trying to do his job. The click of his camera is no louder than a cough, sneeze, or grunt from someone in the audience so why all the grief. Next time let us do our job. We were only trying to give you some "exposure."

The play itself is a comic dramatization of the meeting of Caesar and Cleopatra and their subsequent relationship amidst the barbaric warring between the Romans and the Egyptians. I don't think either school could have put on this play by itself and done it as well. One reason for this is the increased cast size. Director J . Gerald Godwin did an excellant job of casting the characters and the flow of the plot was carried well by all who appeared. Another area of excellance in the production was the set design. Wilkes is very lucky to h,we the services for reknown Klaus Holm, his · ability for designinf theatrical scenery is well known. As far as the acting is concerned both the Wilkes and King's actors did a very fine job. Paul Kerrigan from Wilkes starred as Caesar with Karen Shonk from King's playing the lead role as Cleopatra. Other Wilkes actors appearing in the play were; Adele 'Pavella, · Chris Lonstrup, Paul Kanner, Lori Pritchard, Tricia Lupi, Tara Buckingham, Paul Torre, Bill Stusnick, Curt Shrawder, George Heid, and I Gary Baranker.

''Let's Make A Deal·'' To Open Jr. Weekend Is everyone ready to " Make a Deal"? Well, the Junior class is and they're opening their weekend with the game show "Let's Make a Deal". This particular game show was decided upon because no other organization has previously attempted it. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. in the CPA. The sh_ow is complete with prizes, "Monty Hall", alias Marla Brodsky; "Jay," Paul Kanner; and even a Carol Merril. The prizes that will be given away through the course of the evening were collected by class officers and members of the executive council from local businesses. They include a set of Corning Ware and a blanket donated by Susquehanna Savings; two serving bowls,one crystal and one milk glass given by Jewelcor; four passes for a free pizza each from The Pizza Hut; anJ, of course there will definitely be those all important "zonk" prizes. Susan Matley, member of the executive council, was in charge of collecting the prizes for the class's first try with a game show. John Moffatt, also a member of the executive council, is taking care of the theater and set design for the show. "One of the ,main .reasons that we decided on the "Let's Make a Deal" theme was that the CC~IDC Halloween Party will follow," Colleen Gries, Class of 1981 President states. Colleen hopes that the game show will inspire most students to dress up and possibly win a prize at one of the two events. Originally a Sadie Hawkins dance was planned for Saturday in the gym but because no bands were available and it was felt that two parties in the gym on one weekend were too much, a Student Center Party will be held instead of the gym party. Norm Witko, class vice-president, comments, "It wIII give the class an opportunity to use their coupons ti. :t were in the last newsletter and also come attired in their class T-shirts which will be available this week." A bingo was also scheduled for Sunday afternoon but due to Johrt Houseman's open discussion with students the plans were cancelled. Margaret Scholl To Begin Season Touring Schools The Wilkes College Percussion Ensemble will soon begin another season on the road. The group, which has hetween nine and eleven members this year tours various SChools bo th in and out of the immediate area each year. The students at th e schools are introduced to percussion as well as Wilk~!!llege. . The memhers of the ensemble consist of at least two percussion majors. The reSt of the members are moS tl Y piano or voice majors. Several members of laSt year's ensemble graduated, so this is a rebuilding year. Mr. Rosend0 Santos, of the Music Department presently is training a newensemblefor th isyear. The group should be ready by the middle of next month and then it will begin going around to the schools. Santos noted that requests have been received for the enS(!mble from ·as far away as NewYorkandNewJersey. Instruments used by the group include_a set of drums, cowbells, maraccas, marimbas, xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, timpani, and bass guitar. While it is not a percussion instrument, an alto saxophone is used to play a solo for the song "E'vergreen". Santos arranges all the music for the percussion ensemble. The music ranges from the serious to the popular. Santos explains, "We play show tunes, popular hit songs, hit parade songs, and whatever is number one. I ask the kids what they want to pay and that is what we do.'' Louis Czachor GETTING READY - Pictured above is Dr. Les Turoczi. expo coordinator, at work in one of Wilkes' science labs. The fourth annual Science Expo which will be held on Saturday. October 27, will include student displays from the Chemistry to the Health Science departments. ' Dr. Turoczi feels the Expo will help supplement the guidance gh·en in high schools because il will better explain the scie11ces to those students interested in a career in these various fields. The Expo will start with an ushered tour of Stark Lea:-ning Center in the morning and will end with the students visiting the various displays in the afternoon.

Some of the new followers of the Colonels. probably did not notice. but the veteran rooters - the Pawlenoks. the Schmidts. Art Hoover. George Pawlush they all noticed. The Wilkes College band, al ways a strong supporting unit on the road with the Wilkes footballers, was not in attendance. And it wasn't their fault. It seems Albright contacted Wilkes and told our officials that being that last week's game was Homecoming, there would be no time for a performance by the Wilkes majorettes. strutters and cheerleaders. accompanied by the band during halftime. Some sources said Albright told the band there would be no room for them. In fact, there was no room for a halftime show by Wilkes as Albright's halftime activities went over the limit and held up the second half by some ten minutes. Was a penalty called for delay of game on the home team's part? No, but that's another problem! But the stands on the Wilkes side were not full and there was more than enough room for the band and probably the entire Wilkes freshman class for that matter. So, you might say, what's so important about the band not being at the game. The band has grown as a unit which strongly supports Wilkes football through think and thin - they were always there. Playing the fight song or yelling at the Wilkes cheerleaders - the band gave its support, and for the first time in a long time, the band was not at a Wilkes fooJball game. Art Hoover said he was surprised about the annoucement from Albright, and said head coach Rollie Schmidt was upset when told the band was not coming down to the game. "l told Rollie and you could see he felt a little hurt. I think everybody was. The band means a lot to us rooters on the road ." Offensive line coach ·Joe Moran said only a few minutes before the game on Saturday, "where's the band?" He too, was upset over the band not being at the game. Is it a conspiracy? Hell no! But you've got to believe old Will Renken had , something to do with it at Albright. Renken has long been the one for causing problems throughout the MAC as the Lions AD and basketball coach . Ask Rodger Bearde or Ed Donohue, they'll tell you some stories. Despite the absence of the band. the Colonels still won-28-li over Albright. but it just wasn't the same. ••••••H••••••••....••••••••H••·•••c••j Our congratulations go out to Wilkes football offensive end Rob Irwin of War• minster, Pa., who recently received an award for working with Big Brothers in the Wyoming Valley.

Saturday and passed with flying colors as the Colonels downed Middle Atlantic Conference rival Albright College 28-17 in a crucial league game in Reading. The Wilkes offense was again in high gear throughout the game, despite missing for the second straight week the services of number one quarterback Mike Wilson. Wilson's playing status is on a day-to-day thing but he should be ready when Wilkes plays its next game a week Saturday at Juniata. That game will be very important to Wilkes as they remain on the heels of front-running Lycoming College in the MAC race. While Wilkes enjoys a week oTf this Saturday, Lyco must face a tough Upsala squad at Upsala this week. Dean Art Hoover is organizing a trip to Juniata for the game and anyone interested in going is asked to call him or come to his office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall. The Wilkes College offensive line played super on Saturday opening up holes for the Colonel backs. Credit Joe Moran and his " getting better all the time" line. Carmen LoPresto and Rick Chapman, last week's heros and Wilkes' answer to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, again were the main offensive threats on Saturday. Lo Presto, who is ranked second in the MAC in rushing and first in scoring, led the way with 136 yards on 28 carries. Chapman, showing the form that make him an all-star at Wyoming Seminary, had 81 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns - one a 41yard scamper. Wilkes had another rushing touchdo}Vll - one-yard bolt by fullback Paul Kotulak, who owns a 4.5 yards a carry average. Wilkes other score came on a beautiful 40-yard scoring strike from sophomore Tom Cywinski to Bob Rushworth. Cywinski sailed the ball some 45 yards in the air and Rushworth, made a great over the shoulder catch for the score. Vini,:e Savoca, a Bill Bergey looka-like, made his Colonel debut in place-kicking replacing Tony Tavella who was having some problems and Savoca responded with a four-for-four in the· extra point department. Go get 'em big guy! Another standout on Saturday was sophomore defensive safety Bob Luby, who notched his eighth interception of the year, breaking the school record held by Jay Holliday, who had 7 way back in 1968. Luby had an outstanding day Saturday making tackle after tackle and playing a fine overall defensive game. The Wilkes College line and linebacking crew again had a fine day, stopping the Albright offense, which consisted of a difficult wishbone set-up. The Lions scores came on a 67yard run by Brian Constantine, who broke away from the line and outraced everybody to the goal line and a one-yard sneak by the Dave Hadley, Mike Azure, Tony Vlahovic, J oe Knox, Shown are the members of the 1979 football team : Albright quarterback.

The motion passed with 11 in favor, 5opposed, and 3 abstentions. The money received will In! used to pay for the ice item of the club's 18 game schedule this coming winter. Bill Manly, representing the Hockey Club, stated that the working budget is $1,650. The remaining $650 will be paid for through fund-raisers and by the club members. Dave Blumfield, SG president, pointed out that the club's account will be strictly monitored. In the past they have gone into debt. There was also a question as to who is the faculty advisor to the club and how to correctly spell his name. It was quickly cleared up and Dr. John Orehotsky of the Engineering Department was cited as the advisor. This request equaled 10 percent of SG's remaining funds to be distributed. It should also be noted that the motion passed with very little questioning from SG members. Under committee reports, Ana Nunez gave the wrap up report for the Homecoming Weekend, stating that everything went well. Blumfield thanked Nunez and the entire SG body offered a round of applause for her work. It was announced that Mark Swartz and Bobbie Hamilton have been appointed this year's chairpersons for the Cherry Blossom Festival which takes place in the early spring. Blumfield stated that this year's festival will be conducted on a much larger scale as compared to last year's. · Jim Edwards BEDF'OHO HALL - Hosting the first LEGAL two half keg parties in over a year. Bedford If all's party will be closely watched. Bedford Hall Receives O.K. For Private Two Keg Party The first two half-keg party will take place on Saturday, October 20 in Bedford Hall. This will be the first party of its kind under the present party policy, which allows for one quarter kegs for a party in the dorms. Art Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, pointed out, "They've applied and gone through the right channels." Mike Sibilia, R.A. at Bed- Co-op Day Scheduled To receive college credit, students do not necessarily have to .sit in a classroom. Tom Sally, Class of 79, for instance, worked for Owens-Illinois as a chemist. Not only did he attain experience in his major, but he also got a weekly paycheck. Any studerit interested in similar opportunities through the Cooperative Education Program should attain Co-op day, on October 25, at 11 :00 in SLC 101. Robert Koester, director of Cooperative Educatio•n, has arranged for a number of employer:; to attend, including the Tandy Corporation and the Mental Health Retardation Center. Company representatives will be an asset to students in many ways. They can advise a Communications major where to concentrate his studies in order to get the best job openings, expose the student to a possible post-graduation employer, and tell the student about their Co-op program with Wilkes. To discuss the program in depth, the co-op staff will make themselves available to answer any questions about the program. Mr. Koester will tell students how they can take advantage of this opportunity, since many students are not sure how to get involved. The benefits, once involved, range from letters of recommendation to the co+op student or offering him or her a job after graduation. This happened enough to make co-op a success for many students. The first step, though, starts October 25. Dave Stahl ford, explained that he went to see Dean Hoover to check if the party could be scheduled for October 5. Due to a conflict with the College Picnic on that date, Hoover advised that the party be scheduled for a different date. The next available weekend October 20th was chosen. Sibilia noted that Hoover acted as a go-between with the Deans' Council and the Student Governments Social Committee. The Deans' Council meets on Mondays and the Social committee meets on Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Sibilia commented, "Dean Hoover is receptive to anybody coming in for special permission. He tries to do everything in his power to help them .'' The purpose of the party is to unite the dorm for some activity among its members. Each of the 27 members is allowed one guest under the policy. This allows for a maximum of 54 people. Sibilia conclu'.ied, " If everything works out, then this is a good sign for the new alcohol policy.''

A study done by the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania for 1979 .has revealed that the total impact of the 16 institutions in Northeastern Pennsylvania is $125,297,000 per year. Basing their study on expenditures for Fiscal Year 1976-77, the council estimates that of the total figure,$53,000,000 comes from administrators, faculty and staff. In addition, $37,000,000 come from the institutions themselves. If all 16 schools were to close, $86,000,000 would be lost to this area. The 16 institutions located in the region had a total enrollment of 24,034 undergraduates and 2,459 graduate students for the 1978 fall semester. These colleges and universities . employ a total of 3,373 employees and pay out $46,137,000 annually in salaries and benefits. Some of the 16 institutions involved in a study include four Penn State campuses, University of Scranton, ICS Center for Degree Studies, Johnson School of Technology and Wilkes College. Through the $8.5 million budget of Wilkes College, the Wilkes-Barre community recieves more than $6,000,000 annually. Included in this figure is $490,000 spent by students and another $145,000 campus visitors deposit to local businesses. It is extimated that ten percent of the salaries in the area come from Wilkes. Employees of the college are paid $3,750,000 while another $125,000 is used to purchase materials locally each year. During the past twelve years, $12,600,000 has been spent for new construction on campus. The total direct impact of the 16 schools is $27,892,000 including savings accounts, utility costs, wages and benefits. The annual impact of administrators alone is $3,890,000 with the most money spent on housing and food. The impact of faculty and staff totals $23,119,000 with housing and food consuming most of the expenditures ..

Upper classman, Jon Pliskin, received fifth place in epideictic discourse competition, which is a speech of praise or blame. Pliskin scored a perfect 100 points in one of the rounds of competition. Wilkes competed against 15 other colleges and universities ; such as Princeton University and Old Dominion College. The Pliskin victory adds to the winning record of the debate union which began in September of 1976. Since then, the debate union has won a major victory at 34 consecutive tournaments attended. At this point, the debate union has a winning record unsurpassed by any other organization on campus. The next tournament will be held at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia. Any undergraduate interested in joining the organization should contact Dr. Bradford Kinney, Kirby Hall, room 206, or visit the debate union workroom Kirby 303.

Hoover re-emphasized that applications for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges are still available in the Dean's Office. The last day to pick up an application is October 31. Hoover also noted that students wishing to purchase material by using a organizational check must make a request 24 hours ahead of time for the check. purchased after the flood in 1972, and are now six or seven years old, which may be a cause of the great number ot breakdowns. Housing Director Paul Adams stated that the washers and dryers are used heavily since the students do not have to pay to use them as they had in the past. The Co-Ed Housing Committee reported that a committee meeting had been held Wednesday night, October 10. The survey conducted by the Administration for the Middlestates Evaluation was discussed at the meeting. A majority of the students surveyed indicated that they favor the institution of Co-Ed Housing at Wilkes. Equal numbers of men and women were represented in this survey, and roughly an equal percentage of dorms and commuter students were surveyed. Mike Sibilia, chairman of the committee, stated that the main function of the committee at this point is to get the students' response to the possibility of co-ed housing. The committee will also try to obtain information from other schools that already have a policy of co-ed housing. This information would indicate how these schools instituted such a policy, and how the students feel about the situation.

After all, most abandoned warehouses are dank and dingy places only spiders could love ! But there is one warehouse in WilkesBarre which attracts more than cobwebs and dust. This is none other than Mickey Finn's Warehouse located at 100 North Pennsylvania Boulevard, WilkesBarre. It is the center of much night-time activity for numerous Wilkes students. When seen from the outside, Mickey Finn's is not really very impressive ; it possesses the characteristics of a typical warehouse. Upon entering the twolevel structure, though , one is immediately struck by its warmth and vitality. On busy weekend nights, people mill about, talking and drinking, while waitresses and waiters weave through them to serve their customers. The atmosphere of the Warehouse is quite unique . The first level, with its hardwood floor, is usually teeming with people. Small tables and roomy booths dot the area, providing places in which to relax. A large sit-down bar oc- cupies part of the first floor along with a smaller stand-up bar. Winding a path to the rear of the building, one fi nds pinball machines just waiting for some action. The L-shaped second floor, which can be reached by a front staircase or by an intricataely winding back stairwell, is much more spacious and. open than is the ground floor . Here are many small tables and another bar. Overlooking the first floor, one has an interesting view of the crowd below. Decorating the . walls · of both floors are prints of Coca-Cola advertisements and old movie and travel posters. The brick walls and exposed pipes which are painted bright red, are reminiscent of the structure's former warehouse days contributing to the charm of Mickey Finn's. The relaxed environment of the Warehouse is per fect for conversation with no pounding disco beat or blinding strobes to accost one's senses. However, music lovers, there is a jukebox which constantly plays both rock and disco favorites. While enjoying the company of friends, one can quench one's thirst with beer, a mixed drink or soda.

Bacon feels that he is essentially a songwritt!r but is trying to be more. He studies music theory and composition at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. "I love music . There's no better way of putting it. It dominates me, it destroys me, and has even delivered a few moments of ecstasy," Bacon explains. Michaellecon The perfomance will include easy listening music, varying from love songs to comical parodies about bicycle racing. The artist accompanies himself on six-string acoustic guitar with some first rate technique occassionally flashed . Born in Philadelphia, Bacon has played to audiences at the Troubador, L.A.; Bitter End, N.Y.; Main Point, Phila.; Lenny's, Boston ; and Red Creek, N.Y. The coffee-house is being sponsored by Student Government and will be held in Church Hall (the old SUB) Saturday, Oct. 20th beginning at 9:00.

Student organizations were asked to participate by way of making floats. When the subject was first brought up there was supposed to be three prizes awarded, however at the game only a first prize was announced. Who did the first place go to? Naturally, the Engineering Club! Granted, this entrant was excellent but not on the competition level or the other entrants. Every other entrant in the parade spent a lot or hard work and many hours trying to put together a float that would show the student's enthusiasm in the project. Most students knew going into the parade that the Engineering Club would win but still came out in full .force to demonstrate there dedication . My question is, what happened to the second and third place promised by the Alumni Association? I acknowledge that the Engineering Club had an excellent float but feel that the rest of the floats were o :er looked. and should not have been judged on the same level. Signed, A Frustrated Float Maker. Event! · · This year's Homecoming Weekend was a success. A lot of hard work. dedication. innovation. time and effort was apparent and it certainly paid off. Congratulations are in order for Dr. Richard Rees , Alumni Relations Director; Ana Nunez, Student Government Homecoming Chairperson ; and their committess for a fine job. It was the most impressive Homecoming in recent years. Thursday night's bonfire ran into a few problems because the sound and lighting systems were not working properly. Also not all the fall sports were present. The highlight of the pep rally was the naming of the Homecoming Queen and Court. It was the first time in many years that only a selected few knew who had actually been elected. (The BEACON-staff didn't even.know ! l Friday's dinner dance was a huge success. The excitement then rolled into Saturday morning with the first Wilkes College Homecoming Parade. It was the frosting on the cake .. . three high school bands. five floats, the Homecoming Queen and court, and our own Majorettes, Strutters, and Cheerleaders. Who could ask ror anything more? The rest or the weekend ran smoothly with perfect weather always present. This Homecoming left the Alumni feeling very satisfied and the seniors strongly considering the five year plan.

Ana Nunez Homecoming Chairperson Radio Announcer Tells The Story To The Editor: After the recent Beacon article about WCLH, I think it's about time someone tells it like it is. WCLH is ·nota healthy station. The only thing healthy about It is the personnel. However, you need equipment to run a radio station. We have it, sort or. Our equipment has been patched, re-patched, re-re-patched, etc. Now it is barely alive. During the · past few weeks, WCLH has been off _the air more than on. Why? The equipment •is pooped out. All efforts to go before the administration for help have railed. The administration seemingly just does not care. Is this any way to treat an orgc1niza- tion which won a sleuth of awards this past year, including best college news station in Northeastern Pennsylvania? I should think not.

It was also announced in almost every communications and speech course of- ~ fered this semester. Unfortunately, despite all this publicity, obviously many people did not think it worth their time to . attend the lecture. This is not only students, but faculty and administration as well. I realize that this weekend was Homecoming, and the presentation coincided with the parade, but this is still no ex cuse for the poor turnout or faculty and administration. Furthermore, the seminar was sponsored by the Language and Literature Department in conjunction with the communications branch, according the Oct. 12th issue of the BEACON. It is very sad, that for sponsoring the event, only 4 faculty members from the department attended. What happened English faculty ? What " discouraged" you from attending the lecture? If this is any indication of tfie sup.port you are going to give the . new Communications Studies major, you can be sure a program with academic and student drawing potential will die a sure and painful death; at the e)!:pense of the students. Is this what you want? Face it, if this program dies, so does your department, since over half of the English majors are in communications. Also, administration, where were you? Mr. Cunningham had no one there to welcome him to Wilkes College. That was a shame. Surely, not all of the administration was needed at the Homecoming festivities . Even so, a five minute visit would not have delayed the parade any longer that it was alr:eady. All I have to say is that I am truly embarrassed for the college. We should be proud to have such notable speakers come to our campus. It was a very worthwhile lecture. Let's not let this happen ever again!!!!! To those who didn't attend, you missed an absolutely fascinating lecture, and to those who did attend- you were wonderful! ! ! ! ! Sincerely, · A Disgusted Communications Student ., ��Page 6.

Rea,iea, Eagles - The Long Run The Eagles, with the release of their new album have taken a giant step backwards in time. The Eagles latest effort reminds me of earlier efforts, especially their "On the Border," LP which produced the singles "Already Gone," "James Dean," and "The.Best of My Love ." The album is not at all like their phenomenally successful "Hotel California." This album is the ''true Eagles ;" a country-rock band famous for searing guitars and Jong, lush ballads. ·- While " Hotel California" was pop styled with an emphasis on the classic " California sound," which is laid back, the new album almost ·- attacks the listener. Although all the cuts appeal to me, three are truly outstanding. My favorite is "In the City." It is a song written by Joe Walsh, taken from the soundtrack of the movie "The Warriors." It features excellent slide guitar work along with some very good production. It probably would be a bit hit if released. "Teenage Jail " is a slow moving, high intensity song, which features some excellent guitar work by Don Felder. Another interesting cut is "The Disco Strangler." pon Henley' s vocals on the song seem to be almost apart from the rest of it. But somehow it all fits together to add a very original touch to the album . . The Eagles include some .of the top talent _in music . Their music tlaough seemingly simple, is a rich blend of country and rock. This alt,um could be their .best effort to date, although sales may be hampered by the non-commercial style. George Saba Last spring, Dave Blumfield-was elected Student Government president by the Wilkes College student body. Since then, Dave, afong with the Student Council, has been busy formulating a · student activities budget and initiating social programs at Wilkes. Dave, a senior biology major from Deer Park, N.Y., has been an active member of SG since his sophomore year, and has served as co-chairperson of publicity and elections committees. He explains his interest in SG, "Joining Student Government was a way for me to become involved in a college activity that . did not conflict with my biology lab schedule. I have always been interested in politics, and since my goal is to become a surgeon, I realized that college offered the last opportunity to become involved with policymaking." The student leader appears confident that his year at the helm of SG will be fruitful, despite any obstacles he is sure to encounter. _ Dave comments, " I am an optimist. I expect total involvement, which I am now starting to realize is impossible. I have a tendancy to lose my temper when my plans become frustrated, but overall this year has been pretty good." Some of the frustrating situations that Dave has encountered are party policy and the possibility of hosting a concert on campus. " I find the fact that we cannot hold a quality concert on campus to be vepr frustrating . We simply do not have the money or the facilities . Also, at this moment, any debate concerning the party policy is at a standstill. We had hoped to revise the policy to make it more appliciable to social functions. ' ' Another project that concerns Dave is the completion of the Student Center. Completion is expected by the end of this semester, but Dave adds that contributions for the finishing touches are not as much as he hoped. Dave and SG have also tasted the fruits of success. Among the more successful ventures were the trip to HersheyPark and the " All College Assembly." According to Dave, " It was · unfortunate that only 300 students took advantage of a really great day. I felt that the trip was a good start on the year. Hopefully, it will become a big event in the years to come. " Dave notes that he was very pleased with the turnout at the "All College Assembly" . One of Dave's first actions as student leader was to intiate college assemblies on a bisemester basis. "I feel that assemblies are a definite need at Wilkes. Students must be informed about what is happening in their school. Posters just do not do the job. Students benefit because they get a chance to express their ideas and opinions. " As President of Student Government, Dave feels_ that his major challenge is to change the negitive attitude that most students seem to have about SG . "I believe that this poor attitude is a result of past presidencies in general. I feel that SG can change this attitude if we get involved with the majority of students as much as possible and show everyone that SG can do the job." "I have been active with SG for three years and I can truly say that this year has been the best. We are working at a better pace than last year and seem to have more initiative and cooperation. The administration as a whole has been good to work with and they are doing their best for the student body." Along with his major role in Student Government, Dave is currently busy working on an independent research project in genetics. "Although I find my job with SG fun and challenging, I find the solitude of my lab very relaxing.'' Cindy Ercolani . Dale Blumfield It costs no more to buy from the finest ... Moa,ie llea,·ieui Tlael Considering the recent passing of Columbus Day and The Festival of San Genaro, it is only fitting this review should deal with an Italian film,. Luchino Visconti's The Innocent. It is true that the movie will never play in the Vatican, as it falls in a classification void somewhere between "PG" and soft core porn, but its billing as an "erotic classic" is more flash than fact. Much of the movies eroticism comes from its star Giancarlo Giannini. Mr. Giannini is his usual carnal self as he protrays a wealthy Italian Count. The role is far from his zealous portrayal of a convicted mafioso buttonman who ends up a prisoner of war in Lina Wertmuller's Seven Beauties.Giannini was at his best in Seven Beauties and he is far from superficial in The Innocent.Visconti capitalizes on Giannini's "screen eyes" in the ~t same manner Lina Wertmuller has. The Countessa is played by Jen~ nifer O'Neill, who compliments the· talents of Giannini as well as exhibiting her own. The Countessa is regarded soley as a sex object by the Count (who epitomizes Italian Machissmo). Eventually the Countessa realizes she no longer wants to be manipulated, so she · engages in some manipulation of the Count. As the film draws to a close the Countessa is the most ethical (moral) of all the film 's characters. .The_ film raises questions involving sin and punishment, and the recognition of sin-itself. It is not far removed from Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. The Countessa i~. almost an aristocratic Hester Prynne (or Prynnzini if you like). The Count, in his action, is directly that's why opposite to Dimmsdale, but his resolution is similar to Dimmsdale's. The film varies the "love triangle" in that both the count and the Countessa create their own geometric figures whose merger causes the films conflict. . Originally subtitles were used to translate the Italian to English, but to increase the film's appeal to a lazy American audience, lip synchronization of English was dubbed in. Unfortunat- · ly words are heard without moving lips and vice-versa. The film would have been enjoyable if the translation was done with literal subtitles. So, if you are tired of most of the trash in the American cinema, or you just want to see a superior film, take a trip to the Forty Fort Theater to see The Innocent.

The play, " When You Comin' Back Red Ryder? " will be theater faculty member Jay Siegfried's first production on the Wilkes campus. It is a modern play set in the late 1960's. Siegfried feels taht the play is a drama rather than a tragedy. " When You Comin' Back Red Ryder?" was written in 1974 looking back on the 60's. It is the winner of the Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award. It asks the question, " Where have all the American Heroes gone?" Siegfried continues, '·' This particular play is challenging for the audience as well as for the actors." Tryouts for the play will be held October 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. There are five men and three women characters · needed for the production.

October Ill, 197!1, The Beacon. Pagf' !I ~ I~ i women's field hockey team coached Gay Meyers. The Colonelettes came up with two big victories 3-1 over Lycoming and 5-0 over Marywood. The win over Lycoming sets up a title game TODAY at 4 here at Wilkes against Susquehanna. THE BEACON hopes many of the Wilkes fans will be there today to help cheer our ladies on to their second straight MAC northern Division crown. In the Lycoming match, sophomore Ellie Adams came alive and scored her first three goals of the season and her Wilkes career. Coach Meyers was doubly excited about Ellie's performance because she plays left-inner, and all previous scoring has come from the right side. Adding assists in the game were Michele Weiss, and the co-captains Jerry Ann Smith and Mary Jo Frail. Wilkes' overall MAC slate is 3-0-1 but more importantly, their northern division record is 1-01. The weather played an important part in the contest as cold and rain hampered both teams' attacks. Helen Gorgas and Linda Dayer had super defensive games for Wilkes as they thwarted Lyco's offensive setup. After the big win on Tuesday, the Colonelettes returned home Thursday and completely "swarmed" over a strong Marywood team 5-0. Scoring goals for the Colonelettes were : Diane Hall with two ; and Ellie Adams, Jerry Ann Smith and I Helen Gorgas with one each. Assists were recorded by Smith, Adams, Frail and Pam Snyder. The win raised their NPWIAA slate to 10-1. The ladies were scheduled to meet Misericordia on Tuesday. If they won, it sets up another title match with the University of Scranton. Wilkes scored early and often in the first half going into the lockerroom at the half leading 3-0.

After a dismal 0-6 start, the Wilkes College soccer team recorded its first victory against Juniata 3-1 last Wednesday afternoon at Ralston Field. Although Wilkes did not score against the Indians until late in the first half, it was clear from the outset that the Colonels were the better team .

Kantor is only a freshman but shows the skills and knowledge of the game and plays like a seasoned senior. He'll be one of the star performers for Wilkes in the next four years. Wilkes and Juniata both traded goals in a defensive-minded second half. Dung Chi Duong (Zumi) had the other goal for the Blue and Gold.

The game was very s~range in respect to when the Royals scored. They completely dominated the game for the first 20 minutes of the first half but were unable to score. · The last portion of the first half was when Wilkes started penetrating the Royal defense. Wilkes, however, could not score on the day while the Royals used lapses in the Wilkes "D" for their scores. Injuries were once again a major problem for Wilkes on Saturday as Jay Rosenblum and Scott Leveure were both forced out of action a(ter suffering leg injuries. Goalie Dave Reynolds was not up to 100 per cent as he was sitll feeling the affects of a knee injury. The absence of Irv Pyung and Tony Kantor were also contributing factors in the Wilkes loss.

StuGitomer �Ever For The Wilkes College cross country team was assured of its best season ever by sweeping both meets last week. On Wednesday the Colonels.' ran over Al bright 18-45 and on Saturday dumped Mansfield State 23-34. Against Albright, Ken Pascoe and Dan Thomas tied for top honors with identical times of 27:57. Frank Mirecki of Albright took third at 28:07. Wilkes then took the next five places in this order : Ed Eppler , 28:54, Lou Mucciolo 28 :57, Ed Cunningham 29: 19, Don Patrick 29 :58, and John Supinski 30 :40. Rounding out the Wilkes finishers were a drastically improving Ken Waters, Roger Davis, Kevin Cavanagh, Dave Kreiger, and Marie Eiswert. Gonna Swim Now! Last week we mentioned that two young men - Bob Greenwald a·nd Bob Lewis - have been appointed by the Wilkes athletic department to head the men's/somen's swimming program this winter 79-80 season. First of all, it again shows that the bosses upstairs are going after young, enthusiastic coaches to fill holes. First, we had Joe Super, and then came Ron Righter, Steve Justice, Na ncy Roberts, Kurt Hagman, E rnest Lopez, and even now the athletic depa rtment is looking for a latrosse coach for the spring - bet your house they get a young coach. On the dark side of all this is that the coaches don't possess that much experience, but we feel they make up for that deficit w~th enth usiasm and positive feeling. Of all the young coaches, the toughest job belongs to Greenwald and Lewis. They have to reubild a program which has drastically gone down hill recently . The only bright spot in those years was the Middle Atlantic Conference diving domi nance of Cindy Glawe. Both greenwald, who will ser ve as head coac h, and Lewis, who will run the divi ng program, feel they have to create interest in the sport. " We hope to get a lot of people out for the team. This wa y we can ·work with a large group and find out our potential," said Greenwald, a recent graduate of the Unviersity of Pittsburgh. The swim unit does have its stars returning from last season led by captian Jim Edwards, a senior from Ridgefield, Ct. , and Michele Maguire, a sophomore from Wileks-Barre. Perry Lichtinger, a diver who had a good year last season, is undecided about returning to the team or going out for wresUing. Last season, the team under the guidance of Coach F. Charles Petrillo, had all .odds against them. When you have to practice in the late hours of the evening and then swim your home meets at another pool - King's - it makes it rough on the mental part of the team's preparation. But this season, it will b·e different. Greenwald said the team will continue to practice and swim their meets at the King's pool on North Main Street but the unit will have decent practice hours, including some in the morning. The coaches also said they will install weight-training/flexibility programs for the swimmers to help this season. Before going to Pitt, Greenwald was an outstanding swimmer at Wyoming Semionary and holds many records at that swimming power school. While at Pitt, he was a member of the school's swim team and was on the Eastern Champion relay team that qualified for the NCAA Championships for four years. Lewis, cqrrently a grad student here, graduated from Lycoming College in 1979 and was a member of the Warriors swim tea m as a diver. A member of the Wyoming Seminary. swim club in high school, Lewis also played four years of soccer at Lycoming. Greenwald said he hopes to give Wilkes a "good reputation_" in swimming by starting a winning tradition. We wis h hi m luck! Another thing that concerns us this week is the new sports editor of the King's College newspaper - The Crown. In his first column (probably the first thing he's ever written) he attacked a local paper about a story which appeared over the summer announcing that four Wilkes College baseba ll players were named to the All-MAC t~am along with one form King's. lie criticized the paper for putting only the pictures of the Wilkes players in there and just their stats while at the end mentioning that Pogo Miller from King's also made the team. He thought it was bad press to favor Wilkes. If that "scribe" had checked his fac ts, he would have foun d out tha t the story in that paper was not written by a member of its sports staff. but was in fact a release fro m the Wilkes College sports information depart ment with photos and all. The release was fro m the Wilkes office and natu rally highlighted the Wilkes athletes who won the honors. In essence, the release did not ha ve to mention at all who else was", the all-star tea m, but the office did single out Miller for notice. It's a credit to the sports infor mation office at Wilkes to help out Miller and get his name in the paper. It's a bad move on the part of the Crown's sports editor to criticize before he learned the facts. Let's hope he will get his act together before he makes any more mistakes. •••••••••H•••••••••••••••••••••• On Saturday the thinclads were without their coach Ron Righter, but they were not wi thout their running ability. Larry P rintz of Mansfield State set the pace with a time of 32 :20. But once again the Colonel depth proved to be the factor. Ken Pascoe took second at 33 :03, Danny Thomas third at 33:22 and the " darkhorse" Lou Mucciolo fourth at 33: 42. Other Wilkes finishers were E d Eppler 6th, Ed Cunningham 8th, John Supinski 9th, Don Patrick, Roger Davis, and Kevin Cavanagh . The Wilkes harriers, now 9-2, were to meet Susquehanna on Tuesday and then take on Baptist Bible for the season's final meet on Saturday. After this the Colonels will take a two-week break to prepare for the MAC's on November 3.

Coach Rollie Schmidt's crew dominated the game with the winless Devils from beginning to end. This week,.the Wilkesmen will get a tough test with Albright College on the road in Reading for a key MAC battle. Wilkes needs a win to keep pace with unbeaten Lycoming in the league race. The Wa rriors of Lycoming had an easy game Saturday, downing Juniata 21-0 for their sixth straight victory. This week's Wilkes \ !bright game will be broatlcast ve by WBRE radio. "'1'wo years go, Wilkes upset the Lions 7-0 in leading. Tom Cywinski started at QB for Wilkes on Saturday in place of the injured Mike Wilson. And it really did not matter. Schmidt threw the forward pass out of the playbook for the game, as the Colonels attempted only THREE passes. Cywinski was one-for-one and lefty Tony Vlahovic was orie-for-two . Scott Davenport also saw action at the signal-calling position and _Cliff Jones ( remember him? ) had both receptions for 22 yards. But the offensive story on Saturday concerned the tailback position which had 52 carries for 365 yards on the day. ~haring the yardage were LoPresto and Rick Chapman, who played every other down while bringing in the plays. Final stats showed LoPresto with 25 carries and a school record 210 yards while Chapman chipped in with 155 yards on 27 carries. Holy Cow ! That's more rushing yardage than we used lo get in a season ! LoPrtesto's yardage broke the old record for 172 yards rushing in one game held jointly by Paul Purta (1966 ) and Ted Yeager ( 1971 ).

Using the most expensive recruiting program in the school's history, Wilkes College has increased its' freshmen class enrollment by 22 percent over last year, despite the faultering enrollment nationally. This year's recruiting schedule included recruiting students from greater distances, promotional material sent to the houses of high school graduates and a very successful Visitation Day. These implements helped to bolster ~he number of freshmen to 594 in comparison to . 479 last year. Although :Wilkes invited only those students accepted by admissions to the Visitation Day happenings, Dr. Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions, said, "It was a very good day." Of the students in attendance that day, 80 percent of them enrolled at the school. Even with the lack of previous statistics with which to compare this figure, Dr. Wuori stated this is an extremely good percentage. Because of the great distances many students had to travel, registration continued up until three days before classes started. With the enrollment of freshmen dorm students up over 100 percent, many problems were experienced by the housing office . Dr. Wuori stated that although there were numerous , difficulties, everything turned out all right " ... after the.smoke cleared." He added, "We will insure good coordination between the two offices in the future.!' When asked about the school's admissions procedure, Wuori said that Wilkes uses a modified version of the Rolling Admissions Policy, which allows for a greater selection of students possessing the qualities Wilkes is looking for. These qualities are discovered through the Student Descriptive Questionare (SDQ> .which a student may choose to complete during Student Achievement Test (SAT) testing. From the SDQ, Wilkes can determine how the personality, attitude, and Florida and Maine.

This expo includes displays from the Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Math and Computer .Science, Engineering, Earth and Environmental S.cience, Nursing, and Health Science departments. A great many of the displays are student originated with faculty assistance. Dr. Turoczi stated, "The college ti'as a lot to be proud of and this show is the perfect opportunity to display the accomplishments of the students and faculty." · Dr. Turoczi has extended an open invitation to high school juniors and seniors in Luzerne and Lackawanna County public and private schools. He feels this is a good opportunity for these students to meet Wilkes students and faculty, and to see ·displays, exhibits, demonstrations and "hands on" experiences. He continued that a show such as this one helps supplement the guidance given in high schools, especially to students who are not exactly sure what areas science encompasses and what career opportunities are available to them in these fields.

This production will be the first of fou r college productions planned for the upcoming school year. "Caesar and Cleopatra " also marks this years first joint theater production between Kings and Wilkes. Like last year's joint effort, "Three Sisters", this production will offer the two schools a chance to showcase the talents of their students and staff. The play is being directed by Gerry Godwin from King's College. Godwin is an actor himself as well as a directo,. He has directed some shows at Kings, including last years "A Flea in Her Ear". Whell asked why he chose "Caesar and Cleopatra" this year he says he chose ii because of Shaw's reputation, the fact that it is one of his more popular works, and because he likes the play. · Godwin likes working in the Wilkes theater, which is one of the better college theaters around. It is his wish to do this production in such a way as to do justice to Shaw's play. The scenic designer for the production is Klaus Holm . Mr. Holm has a list of credentials including many Broadway shows and a number of road shows. He has been with the Wilkes theater since 1970 and has designed most of the shows. His job for this show is to design a set which will give the audience a feeling of old Egypt. The man who is responsible for supervising the set building is Brother Jim frem King's College. He and his crew will make Mr. Holm's designs a reality. Each piece of the stage setting must be built as sturdy as possible so the·actors can move about on it without fear of it-collapsing. Brother J im is also designing the lighting for the production. Crews for running and building the show have been chosen from both King's and Wilkes. Building for the show started about three to four weeks ago. Most of the building is being done in the evenings and on weekends. The crews are functioning well together and as such the work on the sets is progressing rapidly and smoothly. The play itself is very intense at points. It has little basis · in historical fact. Playing the title roles will be Karen Shonk of King's as Cleopatra, and Paul Kerrigan from Wilkes as Caesar. These two students head a very strong cast. The performances of the play will be; Thursday, Oct. 1_8 a special high school showing at 7:30 pm ; Friday Oct. 19 and Saturday Oct. 20 at 8:00 pm; and Sunday Oct. 21 a 2:00 matinee performance. Each Wilkes student is allowed two free tickets. There will be a •one dollar charge for each additional ticket. The production has been given a great deal of time and effort under the super vision of some very qualified people. .It promises to fulfill its main function of entertainment.

Interest in art will increase in a few years. Lisa Gurka Fo'lll Weather Closing Policg Announced AH members of the colle~ commwiity should be aware of our policy with regard to the closing of the college due to inclement weather. Normally, the college will not be closed because of had or threatening weather. With substantially more than half of our students living on campus, or in close proximity, every effort will be made to continue operations. This does not mean that students, faculty, or staff will be expected to risk life or limb if conditions do not permit safe access to the college. When a decision is made to suspend operations at the college, radio stations will be notified prior to 7 a.m. or, in the case of evening classes, prior to ' 3p.m. I DC Discusses Hom'e coming; Halloween Party Finalized BROOKS HAIR SALON Men 's and Women 's h, ,r styl in g manicures and perms Cali Frank or Pete for :m appoint ment Interdormitory Council President Mike Stapleton and Student Government President Dave Blumfield strongly urged all me members to attend the events scheduled for Homecoming Weekend.

October 12. 1!17!1 What Happened? ~ I Vant Your ·Blood The All-College picnic held this past Saturday at Ralston Field was a nice gesture on the part of the administration to compensate for the free day the students lost in this semester. There is, however, ·much student discontent concerning the way the picnic turned out.In the first place, no beer was allowed. This is fine. but several faculty members who did attend brought and consumed their own beer Secondly, there was the problem of who was supposed to organize the party. The administration initiated the idea and paid the costs ·but did little planning. It was left for the students to organize.and at short notice. There was no band, no pep rally, and the only activity that followed through turned out to be a free-for-all instead of a pie-eating contest. It has also been reported that the cost of the picnic came to about $2,000. Since dinner in the cafeteria for dorm students was cancelled in order that they attend the picnic, there should have been very few costs if any. It was already included in their room and board. We are not all ungratefl!l and we do appreciate the intentions behind it. This picnic turned out to be a prime example of a lack of communication and organization. · Letters to the editor are welcomed from all interested parties.

Like Rosanne Rosana Danna says, this is a hot issue, I was an active member to work on this committee. I found many drawbacks with the picnic. The excitement at the picnic was something to be desired. The pie eating (or· throwingl contest was the highlight of the day. The administration sponsored the event instead of a free day. If the students had · a say in the matter, they'd , choose the free day. The publicity and organization was not up to par. Maybe one percent of the commuters showed ... where was publicity for them? The attendance was amazingly small, by students, faculty, and administration. The administration put up almost $2,000 for the event (food). Why was all that money used when the majority of the food was already paid for by the dormies? The picnic only served the purpose to make dorm students walk over to Ralston Field for dinner!!!!!! The administration and faculty didn't do· anything for the picnic. The students ran the whole affair. ff it wasn't for the students, the picnic would have never gotten off the ground. Why didn't the Deans allow alcohol to be served to the students, when the faculty was openly consuming large amounts of beer? The Constitution plainly states no alcohol will be served at Ralston Field, unless the Council of Deans approves it. Many other factors point to the elimination of All-College Picnics in place of a free-day. An All-College Picnic can be very suecessful if it benefits the students and not the Administration. Just watch for Homecoming's Field Day and my point will be understood. Thank you A dissatisfied tuition payer. r.=============~ Movie Review Receives Reply To the Editor: °Who wrote the movie review on "The Seduction of :Joe Tynan"?

Although we feel that our version was a little more tasteful, we appreciate your concern for the beautification of our dorm . We're sure that the many hours of hard work · and talent provided by the men of Grissom House doesn't compare to the unique job that you did in the few minutes that you had to perform your task. We would just like you to know that you really did not do anything to destroy our unity. In fact, without knowing it, you brought us closer together as a dorm by unifying us in common cause. We may have lost a day of study and--or a chance to relax but, you'll be happy to know that the dorm is once again clean--only faintly exhibiting the scars of your artistic hand.

Mike feels that it is not unusual for him not to be a senior, " it just means that they (Dave Blumfield and Bill Lewis ) get out a year earlier than I do." Another unsual fact is that for a second year in a row the candidate for IDC president has run unopposed. Mike feels that it could be a lack of interest but he really isn't sure why more people don't enter the race. When asked how he felt running unopposed Mike replied, "It takes all the fun out of it when there is no competition and it makes you wonder why no one else wanted to run."

We explained how the program works and a little about its history. Now we will take a closer look at the writer, poet and short story writer Mark Halliday. Mr. Halliday was born Feb:-- 28, 1949, in Ann Arbor. Michigan. He received his first degree from Brown University in 1971, in Human Studies, an interdisciplinary program including literature, philosophy, and psychobiography. IN 1976, Mark earned a MA from Brown in Creative Writing. Currently he has one year of work towards a Ph.D. in English at Brandeis University. His work experience va.,ries from being a copy-boy for Time Magazine to a waiter in France to being a high school English teacher and teacher of disturbed children. He also spent several summers as a tennis instructor. The list of his publications is extensive. He has been published in such magazines as "The New Yorker," "The North American Review, " and "American · Heritage. " Over seventy poems of his have been printed in more than fifty periodicals. He has also done two full-length plays and more than sixty book reviews. Mark also has four as-yetunpublished novels and two booklength collections of poetry. He has additional editorial and theater experience as well. At Brown he served as co-editor of Hellcoal Press for two years. and also had roles in ten student theatrical productions. He · cofounded and acted in the Rhode Island Feminist Theater. and starred in a play which was presented at Lincoln Center in New York in 1974. Mr. Halliday was also chief editor of the Providence Review, a literary monthly he and two of his colleagues founded. Mark is on campus on Mondays and Tuesdays when he teaches a .creative writing class. He lives in the Boston area and commutes to campus. Dr. Kaska, chairman of the Language and Literature department, is very pleased to have Mark as writer-in-residence. He is a young writer on his way up, and ifis hoped that both he and the college will benefit from the expecience. Perry Lichtinger There you are standing in the cold winter night watching your friend rolling in pain after slipping on the ice. Your adrenaline soars, you start to panic wondering what to do. Questions flash through your mind. What if something is broken? Should he be moved? Where can I get help? The questions concerning the injury should be answered by a doctor, but the question of wher~ to get help can be answered right on campus. Since 1974, the Emergency Alert Team has been in operation. It provides quick emergency treatment and transportation to anyone on campus twenty-four hours a day. According to Mark Chichak, captain of the team, almost every night they are needed. "We ·have seven squads that cover the campus on a rotating basis. The team is most needed during the night when other services are closed. " There are about forty members on the team and the majority of them are trained in either basic first aid or emergency medical training. The team is outfitted with the basic. emergency equipment. '~ New Beginning'' Slated as Theme For 1979-1980Amnicola Edition The 1979-80 yearbook staff has a rather unique situation this year. Abrand new decade is being-ushered in and they would like to do it justice. Mary Giblin, Editor-in-Chief, looks at it this way, "We have a lot of new members ort the staff this year and they are all eager to work towards making this year's yearbook one of the best." She also adds, " We want to break the old traditional mold of past years. We will be trying to make this book look different yet exciting.'' The theme of this year's book will be, " A New Beginning," representing the start of the '80's. Chris Riel- ly and other art students will be designing the cover of the book. As part of their new approach, the yearbook will be offering kegs to the dorm and club that submits the most original group pictures. Joining Mary Giblin on the yearbook staff are: Lisa Ashbaugh, special assistant to the editor-inchief; Ilene Tinkleman, assistant editor; Bob Gaetano, photography editor ; and Maggie Bunnell, business manager. ·-one area that leaves · the Amnicola staff less than satisfied is the lack of commuter students working on the book. " We have about fifteen people working for us at the mo- 'ment," Giblin comments, "but we are still looking for more. It would be nice if some commuters would help out." Last year's yearbook should be in shortly. The price will be $13.00 a copy. Those people who have ordered one will be able to pick it up Tuesday and Thursday between the ·hours of 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Five hundred books were ordered from the Taylor Publishing Company and it is hoped that all of them . will be sold. In the past years this has not been so.

PagP i M.B .A. - A Popular Choice Chapter Of COPUS Among Graduate Student Started On Cam.pus Why are recent college graduates. bankers. engineers. and accountants all coming back to college? It's not always because they love studying and going to class. No. the real reason most of them are back are because of the advantages a graduate degree can offer them . On particular field of graduate study. the Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.l is a popular choice of incoming graduate students. The commercial and financial areas are offering increased opportunities not only to Bachelor degree holders but also to those who have received their Masters . In 1978. the largest number of masters degrees awarded at Wilkes were in Business Ad-. ministration, almost twlce the number of any other graduate program here at the school. According to DI'. Howard Williams. acting chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department. the effort one puts into studying on the graduate level will soon pay off. As Dr. Williams pointed out, "Not only are opportunities greater for the M.B.A.. but starting salaries are generally $3.000 to $4,000 higher. Usually. the M.B.A. will also be placed immediately into the middle management of the company." According to the magazine. MBA Executive. " more jobs were offered to 1978 M.B.A. graduates in accounting 07.6 per cent) . commercial banking ( 14 .2 per cent) and electronic data processing (9.7 per centl than in any other fields ." The highest starting salaries. however. were those in the management consulting field. receiving $23.000 a year. The lowest starting salary in 1978, with an M.B.A.. was in the accounting field at $17,000. Overall. according to this same report 75 per cent of _all M.B.A. graduates started at salaries of $17,200 or more. The Masters of Business Administration program at Wilkes is designed to give concentrated study in the entire business field while allowing the graduate student to specialize in one of four course areas. To first enter the program you must have the following prere- JERRY-KELLY . quisite courses: 1 year of accounting. l semester of business law, l year of economic principles. l semester of statistics. l semester of managerial finance. 1 semester of money and banking and fl semester of marketing. After completing the required prerequisites, the graduate student must complete 30 credit hours. These 30 hours are . broken into 15 hours of core requirements and 15 hours in a specialization, which can be either Marketing, Managerial Science. · Labor, Accounting or Finance. The student can pick one or two specializations. In the core requirements of fifteen hours, the student must take three courses, Management Science. Managerial Statistics and Managerial Economics. The remaining six credits in the core consist of two courses the student chooses from four possibilities. The student can ·pick from Managerial Accounting, Labor - Management Economics, Business and Society and Management Information, and a computer science course. The remaining 15 credits are made up of courses in the four specialization areas. A new program being proposed is the five-year M.B.A. degree. In this program the student, during the undergraduate years, can major in any field , but would take his electives in the business curriculum . Thus. by the time he receives his bachelor's degree he would have all the prerequisites completed for his M.B.A . He could then complete his graduate degree in the next year. Another option which is available to the graduate s(udent is the Graduate Assistant Program. The graduate assistant is employed at Wilkes while · completing his degree. He works either in areas of economics. accounting, or business administration , helping the professors by supervising laboratory periods, proctoring tests or by doing research related to his field . Another opti0n which is available is being a dormitory counselor to . undergraduates. In both of these programs. the graduate student receives salary which may include a tuition or housing waiver. The prospective graduate student must consider are whether he wants to receive both undergradyate and graduate degrees from the same school. He must also consider whether on-thejob experience is important before entering an M.B.A. program . The M.B.A. degree is definitely worth considering, no matter what a student 's undergraduate major. The benefits of higher entry level positions and better starting salaries are obvious. Prospective M.B.A.'s. however. must also consider that many personal demands may be placed on them in the future. Those wishing more information can contact the Director · of Graduate Studies, John F. Meyers, or any member of the Commerce and Finance faculty.

October 12. l!li!I Computer Capacity Increased To Meet The Groa,ing Demand The computer field is growing at Wilkes, and so is the computer center. About two years ago Wilkes replaced the old computer with a new one. Since the installation of this new equipment, the computer center has increased in usefulness and effeciency. As of last semester there were a few problems with the computer such as slow response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes the computer to respond to the operator. Dave Williams, head of the computer Commission; who share the computer's time as well . . Over the past year there has been a heavy increase in the number of people using the computer facilities. The adm inistration is now using the computer for more functio·ns than in the past. This is also true of the student population, who seem to have taken a greater interest in it. Much of this is due to the relatively new computer science major offered at Wilkes and the addition of computer science to the core requirements of many ma- courses. He believes that many students have become interested in knowing the basics of computers due to the fact that we all have to deal with computers in our daily lives ; for example, phone bills, college records, etc. This interest in computers could stem from a realization that they are important in today's society and they are here to stay. The high response to the computer science major at Wilkes can . be-attributed to the fact that Wilkes people have first priority on the computer. This explains why many students from other colleges are transferring to the Wilkes program. According to Dr. Wong, the faculty and students use the computer on a first-come-first -serve basis. This does not mean that the terminals are not crowded at times. During the early afternoon the computer is at peak usuage. " We find that some students come in early in the morning to use the computer when they have it almost to themselves," Dr. Wong states. The college is doing everything to make the computer more easily accessible to everyone at Wilkes. Three new terminals have been added to the second floor of Stark. The computer field at Wilkes is · still experiencing a small amount of growing pains however. The equipment is good .and the interest in the field is increasing. Therefore, it seems that Wilkes has a good start toward a solid computer science major, while at the same time it is offering excellent computer facilities to help the college function efficiently.

Another Colonel who was overl~ked on Saturday was receiver Cliff Jones. Jones, not the fastest man on the team by far, but he does have the best pair of hands on the club and catches anything thrown his way. Cliff was like a fan in the stands Saturday as passes were thrown to almost everyone but him .

CC President Bill Lewis explained that the one day excursion would be ideal for some sightseeing and it would also be an inexpensive way of getting home for some of the dorm students. Darlene Schaffer Under the auspices of the Student Government, a trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida is being planned to take place during spring break, March 1 to March 8. Trip coordinator, Joe Galli stated the reason for such a trip was the large amount of people taking vacations in Florida last year on spring break. He feels that this is a good reason to organize a college trip this year. After consulting with several travel agencies, Galli decided that Wainwright Charter Service from Bethlehem, would handle the arrangements. Plans were finalized · for the trip at a meeting with Art Hoover and Doris Barker, Student Government advisors, Bruce Bevan, a Wainwright representative, and Joe Galli, trip coordinator. . A 737 plane was chartered with a seating capacity of 120. Departure from Philadelphia is on March 1 at 4:30 p.m. The return trip from Fort Lauderdale is slated for March 8. Exact arrival time-in Philadelphia will be announced. Those exceeding the 120 capacity will be travelling on the sam~ days, but different flights. Transportation to and from Philadelphia will be provided for an extra charge of between $13 and · $15. Three plans are being offered for New Maintenance Service Begins Campus Operations students. The first plan includes airfare, lodgings three quarters of a mile from Fort Lauderdale 'at ihe -King's Crown Inn, transportation from the Florida airport, unlimited car use with four people per car for the entire trip and unlimited mileage. There will be a party with four other colleges on the " Paddleboat Queen." A two and one half hour happy hour will be provided daily during which time drinks will be $.50 apiece. Students will have access to a three floor rock bar called "Big Daddy's" and will receive a-~omplimentary t-shirt. There will not be a cover charge. The cost of this plan is $269. The second plan is similar to the first. The only difference is that the student choosing this plan will be staying at a hotel on the beach. Use of a car is not included. The other services and accomodations are the same. The price of this arrangement is also $269. The third plan includes unlimited use .of a car, hotel accomodations on the beach and the services included in plans one and two. Cost of this plan is $289. Every student will receive a brochure explaining the trip in full detail in the mail. Those who do not receive one may obtain the . brochure at the Student Government office.

The Co-Ed Housing Committee. headed by IDC Vice President Mike Sibilia, decided that its main goal would be to conduct an accurate and unbiased survey among dorm students concerning the possibility of Wilkes instituting Co-Ed dorms. The survey would also be designed to aid the Administration in making a decision. It was pointed out that the survey from last year was inconclusive, especially since relatively few filled out the questionnaire. Sibilia stated that the committee could cite the situation at the Hotel Sterling and In Pickering Hall during the summer as examples of successful programs of Co-Ed Housing on the Wilkes campus: He also felt that the policy of separating men and women in the Hotel by floors could be changed, to separation by room. IDC members representing the Hotel women, however, strongly objected to this idea. If a policy of co-ed housing were instituted, Pickering Hall would be used for this situation, with men and women separated either by floor or by wing. Other dorms would possibly be co-ed, but it is not yet certain which dorms would be used. Some members felt that This fall the Wilkes-Hahnemann ,Slocum and Denison would be ideal Cooperative Medical Education. for co-ed housing. Mike Stapleton, Program in Family Medicine IDC President. stated that a double began its eighth year as the sixth standard exists at Wilkes, since onclass of Wilkes students entered the ly the men are placed in Pickering Hahnemann Medical College and Hall.

Beginning--this--yearthe six yearprogram has been changed to a seven year program. The present sophomore class is in a six year program. Bef<;>re, the program consisted of two -years at Wilkes, ineluding summers, followed by three years at Hahnemann and then one year at Wilkes and in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Area Hospitals. The new program eliminates the need for summer school in the years at Wilkes. During the first three years of the program students take courses here. They include the general core· requirements, biology, chemistry, math, physics, and electives. The second three years compose the Medical Component which is spent at Hahnemann. The students take courses in biochemistry, developmental biology, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, pathology, medical problems, human behavior, and clinical science in the first year; medicine, surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, psychiatry in the second year; and advanced basic science and clinical electives in the third year. The final year of the program is spent in family medicine track rotations at area hospitals including the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre; Nesbitt Memorial ' Hospital, Kingston; Mercy Hospital, Wilkes. Barre; Wyoming Valley Hospital, Wilkes-Barr~; __ a~~ C~1nmunity Medical Center, Scranton. Project Director Ralph B. Rozelle explained that the new program is less structured, has fewer fixed courses, and allows for a maximum of flexibility. Rozelle noted that an added feature of the program is the telecommunications network with Hahnemann. The network center is located on the second floor of the Stark Learning Center. The system links Wilkes and local hospitals with Hahnemann, and allows programs to be televised from either end of the system. · It is part of the Untied Health and Hospital Services of which Dr. Rozelle is president this year. Dr. Rozelle noted that each year approximately 140 to 150 students apply for admission to the WilkesHahnemann program. Of that number about 75 are chosen. Some students leave the program during the first .three years so that by the end of the Wlkes component, there are approximately 35 to 40 students left in the program. Through a series of interviews with the joint selection committee between twe~ty and twenty-five candidates are selected to enter the Medical School. Most of the students not selected for the medical component complete their four years here and then proceed to medical schools in pursuit of degrees in Optometry, Podiatric Medicine, or Dental Medicine.

Go A·Long_W_a y. A -few weeks ago, the Women's Activites Association (cheerleaders, strutters, and majorettes) made a fund request to Stt~dent Government for money to cover the cost of their transportation to the away football games. Their original request was for $1,083 to pay for coaches from the Martz Bus Company for the four games. They were turned down and encouraged to look for cheaper transportation. · Donna Grontkowski, the vice-president of WAA, then filed a request for $410 which covered the cost of three games provided by school buses. The J uniata College game was excluded since it is a three hour triP. and the cost of that trip alone equaled the cost of the other three buses. The way the Colonels are playing football, the game with Juniata could mean a MAC title. It would be a shame not to have the girls there to support the team . Before last week's upset over Upsala (20-3) , the girls <lecorated the locker-room with posters, · signs, and balloons. Many players felt the spirit generated by the girls helped them to go on to win. • · At a time when Wilkes' school spirit is not very apparent, the football team needs all the support it deserves. . We suggest that SG should give WAA the money needed to travel to the game. We feel the cost of this -expense should come from the Athletic department but due to unknown reasons they refuse to · pay it. We know money i§ tight for SG but this is important. Please Reconsider! ! ! · More Money Needed A progress report on the fund drive for the stereo system and television in the new Student Center indicates that many people are not donating to the cause. We simply don 't understand why. The sooner the money is raised the sooner everyone will be able to reap the benefits. You, members of the Wilkes College Family, expressed your enthusiasm over the fund drive at the All-College as$embly held at the. beginning of the year. Don't back down now, Student Govenment needs your money! · We are asking everyone to respond to SG's plea foe your spare change. The collections containers are located all over campus. Come on, Donate! ! ! ! Parents'DayFullofActivities Parents' Day was held this Saturday, giving parents a chance to visit the campus and get to know their sons' and daughters' professors . The day started off quite gloomy ; it did not seem like a nice day for even a football game. During the morning hours parents registered in Stark Lobby, and _afterwards attended either the soccer game, tennis match, or stayed for a slide presentation and discussion about the campus. As the parents waited in the lobby, they mingled with faculty and administration . They were able to obtain literature concerning the college and were treated to a flower sale by Theta Delta Rho. Most parents then went to visit their sons or daughters and proceeded jointly to the Wilkes vs. Upsala football game. During halftime, they were able to see the majorettes and strutters in action performing routines specially created for Parents' Day. After the game ended at 4:45, everyone went to the " Post-Game Huddle" at the Sterling Inn Towne.

Although most of us have realized that the men who sit in the Senate are far from noble, the naive and easily persuaded among us would leave this film thinking that Senators are lecherous, deceptive. rowdy and in some cases senile. The question is. how far is this from the truth? Just consider the media exposures in recent years.

The purpose of the program is to bring public writers to the Wilkes campus where they can teach a course in creative writing. They also do public readings and provide consultation to students. ··· -This concept is supported by The Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair Of English Literature which is one of the colleges special endowments. It was established to encourage enlightened teaching, extended scholarship, and creative writing in the field of literature. The Chair Of English Literature was created by Dorothy Dickson Darte in memory of her father, Allan Hamilton Dickson. For the last two years, the National Endowment For the Arts has contributed funds to Wilkes College, in the form of grants, for the continuation of the program . The newest writer signed on by Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the english department, is poet and short story writer Mark Halliday. Mr. Halliday is presently busy per- forming his duties as resident writer and next week we will take a closer look at the man. Last year Ms . Beatrice Hawley, a renown poet, served as resident writer. Poet Hugh Seidmen, short ...ory writer Laura Furman. and play-write Jon Lipsky were the ones who served the first three years. Each year the program alternates the types of literature offered . Plans are being made for next year to appoint a play-write and have their play produced by the schools theater department. It will probably be an unproduced play and it is hoped that the school production will promote both the play . and the playwrite. Since its inception in 1975, the Writer In Residence program has become well known within writing circles. Only in the first year did the college have to advertise for writers. Now, writers who. wish to participate send in resumes and then its a matter of finding the one most suitable for the needs of the college. Perry Lichtinger Mark Hal~lday . '.)

Page 7 WCLH Grows Stronger In Quality and Staff " WCLH is at it's highest peak . ever." says Fred Pierantoni, manager of the radio station. One of the reasons for Fred's optimism · stems from station's staff members including some new faces as well as some station veterans. Members of the staff include: Fred Pierantoni--station manager, Rich Nordheiin--Program qirector. Chris Kosakowski--Public relations. Les Nicholas--manager's assistant, Mark Thomas--news director. Rob Wallace--station engineer, Jim McCabe--music director, Bob Bushworth--assistant music director. Ed Van Buren-in charge of operations.and Garry Mack--sports director. The man who helps keep the radio station and staff operating smoothly is Dr. Brad Kinney . In reference to the staff Dr. Kinney states. "They're a good bunch of kids. they're concerned and involved. and thanks to them this year will be our best yet. ' ' These people who keep the radio station running so well are of diverse interests ; with less than half of them communications majors. Yet they all get along well and pull together for the good of WCLH . As Dr. Kinney puts it, "The staff has a genuine interest in the radio station and they all want to see it grow." With fifty members WCLH is one of the largest clubs on campus. "We also had 25 people sign up at club day." says Pierantoni. " and we had ten new members join last weeJr " Of the active members of WCL,1. about ninety per cent have a valid third class operators license. Pierantoni states that one of the station's goals is to help everyone involved to receive a license. The third class license is valid for five years and is obtained by passing an FCC exam. The staff tutors anyone who is interested in obtaining a license. This tutoring helps those intersted to know enough about the FCC rules and a radio station to pass the test. " Unfortunately," says Fred. "the nearest FCC testing facility is in Philadelphia." However, Dr. Kinney is trying to get a school bus in order to take a group of students to the testing facility for the next testing date. Kinnev feels that the license will help the students at a future time if they are interested in broadcasting. Not only are the staff members licensed but they are also well trained. Fred tries to help anyone who wants to know how to run the radio station. He believes that a well trained staff will help to keep · the quality of WCLH on a upward swing. All is not well with WCLH, however. There are several problems which the radio station is . Pictured above is WCLH deejay Ed Serafin, at wor!; in the studio. tial.

We went the first few weeks without any complaints and then within the last few days, our staff has had almost as many as Carter. Yes, the BEACON sports staff has come und~r fire . From almost everybody too! The coaches don't like what we write, the players don't like it and neither do some of our "dedicated" readers. Well, that's too bad! . We are trying to do the best job we can and this year we are working with a large crop of first-year reporters, who do not have that much experience, if any. Some of the teams have been complaining about the amount of coverage . they are getting. This has happened every year the BEACON sports p~ges have ever been published. You really can't please everybody. The Wilkes sports information de2artment, whi~h gets the scores in the local_papers,_ also has this problem. Some coaches m past years, have wanted their scores in The New York Times. Unreal! We're not UCLA, where the press begs at your feet for stories. Wilkes is lucky to get the coverage in the local papers that it gets. · · And again, we are getting complaints from the women. This year, they say we are.short-changing them, not giving them enough ink. Let's take a look at some facts. Last year, women's sports at Wilkes got more coverage in the BEACON; than in any other year. Did we get any thank-you's for the coverage? Are you kidding? I was told long ago and it's true, no one w\11 ever say thank-you for a good article, but when you write something they don't approve of, you'll hear from them. Then, there is the arguement of whether or not a sport is more important than another. We feel there are some that rate more <;overage than a few others. This is true in every newspaper in America. Most of us on the staff, hope to be reporters when we graduate. This is a stepping stone, we must learn from our experience on the BEACON. We try to give all the sports covera,ge. Some get mor:e t~an others and that's just the way it's going to be. Ten years -from now, 1t will be the same wa~ · In closing, all we have to say is, if you don't like what we write in the BEACON's sports pages, don't read it! BAVITZ QUIZ 1.

Page 11 LoPresto Gets 1 000th Gridders Upset Upsala 20-3; Meet Bloom Saturday on TV Upsala's stat-man said it best "What a defense!" And you can take that to the bank. The Wilkes College football team scored its biggest win since a 7-0 victory over Albright two years , ago, last Saturday downing favored Upsala 20-3 to help celebrate Parents' Day. The big story was the defense, which gets over-shadowed a lot by the publicity given to the Wilkes offense. But the "Big D" controlled the show on Saturday, completely shutting off any offense the Vikings could muster. The Colonels held Upsala.<a 20-10 winner last year) , to 39 yards passing and only 66 on the ground for a grand total offense of 105 yards. In the first three games this season, the Colonels have given up only 16 points, including only ONE touchdown, which came in the Lycoming game a few weeks back. But, then again, this is not all that new to Wilkes grid followers. For the past few seasons, Wilkes has always had a great defense, but it was the offense which failed for Coach Rollie Schmidt. This year, the offense seems to have gotten into gear led by quarterback Mike Wilson and running back Carmen LoPresto. Wilkes had four interceptions against Upsala with Dave Korba and Bob Luby each getting the•. fourth of the year. Both rank among the nation's leaders in interceptions. Korba needs only TWO more to tie the Wilkes career record for career interceptions. Linebacker Mike Patrick also had an intercepti_on as did, are you ready for this Steve Croghan. Yeah, the big senior defensive end got an interception while laying on his back after Ed Mollahan and Jim Devaney batted a pass down. There were many defensive stars on Saturday, from the • firststringers to the subs. All contributed to the cause but two stood out. Glenn Colvin, the junior linebacker, who is a strong bid for All-MAC, was in on almost every tackle, and if there wasn't a tackle he was in on, then big ~ick Krawetz, a senior lineman, was there. Krawetz played probably his greatest game as a Colonel and had the press in the presbox buzzing about his quickness. One of the special guests in Saturday's biggest crowd of the year was Bob Waskiewicz from Maryland, who is president of the Krawetz fan club. Senior Dave Korba told the BEACON that someone kiddingly told him the defense better get it's act together and stop giving up field BROOKS HAIR SALON Men's and Women's hoir styling manicures and f>erms Coll Frank or Pete for an appointment 824-2325 goals. The field goal on Saturday was set up by a Wilkes interception and most of the scoring against the Wilkes "D" thls year has come after a Colonel offensive miscue. The Wilkesmen enjoyed their finest offensive outing of the year against the Vikings, racking up 286 yards of total offense. Wilson was the leading runner, gaining 82 yards and he set up two touchdowns - one with a 41-yard pass to Rob Irwin and the other with a 40-yard scramble deep into Viking territory. Wilkes scored first in the game when with 4:-W- left in the first quarter, Wilson hit Cliff Jones with a 26-yard scoring strike to cap a five play 38-yard drive. It was the first catch of the year for Jones, who led All Wilkes receivers in yardage last season.

"These two girls have been working very hard and it is paying off as both are having fine years for us and we expect a lot from them in the future," added Meyers. "I knew the Keystone game would tell us several things. Our conditioning is not what it should be and we still need adjustments in our system to get the right people in the right spots to create a powerful. at-. tacking unit," stated the veteran mentor.

" This day is conceived of as a casting Contest. 1 Dean Arthur Hoover and Mrs. Doris Barker, advisors to Student Government, began the drive for money to be used for the Student Center by donating $50 and $25 respectively. The money-raising project is headed by David Blumfield and Student Government. The money that is contributed will be used to buy a stereo, to be used throughout the building; a four-foot suspended television for the lounge; and bar equipment plus necessities. At this point one may be wondering how the college and Student Government can afford these " extras"? Afterall, the coliege just refurnished the old Conyngham home into the new Student Center . Well, this is where you come into · the picture. Student Government Commuter Council, Inter-Dormitory Council and the Student Center Board are each donating f$500 to the drive giving a base amount of $2000. The projected need is between $8,000 and $10,000. I Blumfield sees no problem in raising the additional money and has a set of plans to achieve the goal. The first people that Blumfield is turning to are the students, faculty and administration. He is asking them to give what they can because the !!ew equipment will benefit everyone. "Collection boxes will be set up around the campus, mainly at the Student' Center, the cafeteria, the bookstore and possibly in Stark," states Blumfield . He feels that if each of the 2000 students at Wilkes gives a dollar, " that's $2000 closer to the goal.

This was done after the results of a recent survey conducted by Ana Nunez, academic committee chairman, during the recent elections indicated overwhelmingly that the students are not in fa vor of the evaluation project. The results were as follows : 1) Have you ever used the published results for choosing a professor? 26 per cent yes ; 71 per cent no. 2) Have you ever used the published results for choosing .a course? 18 per cent yes ; 79 per cent no. 3 l If a course advisory service were available, one which contain- . ed information on course content, teaching emphasis, etc., woulct' you use it? 79 per cent yes ; 16 per cent no.

(Continued on Page 3) �. Page 2, The Beacon, September 27, l!li!I IDC I Co-ed Dorms A Possibility Co-educational Housing may become a reality on the Wilkes College campus in the near future if funding is available and if the Administration is cooperative. At the Interdormitory Council meeting Sunday night, President Mike Stapleton stated that a survey conducted by Dr. Freysinger and others for the Middle States Evaluation later this year revealed that a significant majority of the students questioned would prefer co-ed housing. According to Paul Adams, Housing Director, last winter Wilkes applied for funds to build a new dorm on Northampton St. where the women•·s dorms, Chesapeake, Delaware, and Susquehannok Halls are now standing. Many of the JDC members were enthusiastic about the idea of co-ed housing but several questioned the need for a change. Mike Stapleton then discussed the beneftts of co-ed housing, including better security in a dorm .with both men and women; less destruction and disruptive behavior in the dorm; and, in some cases, an increased Racquetball Club New This-Year Racquetball is one of the fastest growing recreational spGrts today. The game is easy to learn and merely requires ; a raquet, a ball and a four-walled court. In the beginning of the semester Scott Wiener decided he was going to share his interest in racquetball with the rest of Wilkes College. He thought if he could get enough people interested in the game he could form a league and possibly receive discounts at one of the local courts. To this end Scott started the racquetball club. , . After only two weeks, the club ·has a roster of nearly sixty interested people. Scott cannot believe the response to the club. " I was only expecting about twenty people," he said. Due to the great interest in the club, Scott made arrangements with Royal Courts in Plains, for membership discounts. If the club can get fifty to seventy-five members, th!! cost for a court membership will be $15 per year. With the way the club is growing Scott believes they can cut the membership fee to $15 and possibly $10. Racquetball is an easy game to learn and any new members in the club can be taught the game in a few lessons. " It's great exercise," says Scott, " and it's fun to play ." Anyone interested in the club should contact Scott Wiener at 8237741. Bill Turcan Grade Point Average for many in a co-ed dorm . Vice President Mike Sibilia also felt that living in a coed dorm could be a good learning experience since men and women do not live in- separate buildings outside of college. Stapleton noted that, to some extent, co-ed housing does exist at Wilkes such as in the Hotel Sterling during the fall and spring semesters, and in Pickering Hall during the summer sessions. JDC members who live at the Hotel expressed no dissatisfaction with this arrangement, and those who had lived in Pickering Hall during the sum.mer felt that it had worked out well. A Co-Ed Housing Committee will be formed in the near future to d·eal with the question. The first party in the new Student Center, held Friday night was considered a success. One . JDC member who had attended the party felt that "the people there handled themselves well' and that the building was not too crowded. However, it was noted that security was inadequate, especially around · the bar, where two cases of mugs which the Sophomore Class was selling were stolen. Mike Stapleton stressed that, at future parties in th.e Student Leach Resigns Position Effective last June 1, Dr. David Leach resigned the position as Chairman of the History DepartCenter. rules would be more strictment, at which time Dr. James ly enforced .

He finds students exciting and working with them is worthwhile. Leach wants more contact with students. He notes, " One should do what one enjoys.''

President Capin asked the committee to review the recommendations with the curriculum committee of the faculty . The curriculum committee supported the recommendations and President Capin directed their implementation. Dr. Kaska met with Dr. Leonard Powlick, Mr. Groh and a department comm ittee to write a curriculum fo r the theater arts major. The results was a major combining work in the liberal arts and fortyfi ve credit hours in dramatic history, literature, and studio courses. The dramatic history and literature series includes courses on Fundamentals of Play Structure and Criticism, Theater History, Shakespeare, and Early English Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century Drama, Modren Drama, or American Drama. The studio series, includes Speech for the Stage, Production, Acting, Lighting for the Stage, Scene Design, Directing, and Theater Beginning this semester a major in thea ter -arts is being offered through the D.epartment of Language and Literature. During the past several years, theater art- sd was concentration offered through the English Department. The department had only two faculty members and a declining enrollment. The admninistration of the college felt that our theater facilities were not being used to their full potential. As a result, last Spring President Robert S. Capin appointed a committee to examine alternative organizational modes for the department. The committeee members were Dr. Thomas Kelly, Dr. William Sterling, Dr. Michael Barone, and Mrs. Edward Darling of the Board of Trustees. Organizational possibilities included : forming a joint theater department with King's College; allowing the depa rtment to remain on its own ; or combining the department with another department such as the Depar4llent of Language and Literature, the Music Department, or a new department of communications and theater arts. The committee interviewed faculty members, students, Mr. Alfred Groh and Mr. Klaus Holm • from the theater department, Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the Dept. of Languages and Literature, theater faculty from other schools, and community members who are active in the theater .

I !17!1 Alcohol & Polic'i es Due to the recent happenings of the reported violation in the party policy, we feel we must speak out on this issue and not allow it to simply pass unnoticed. We are not condemning the administration or making a hero out of any violator. This matter is too serious to go without comment,however. As i~ is written, the current alcohol/party policy only allows one quarter keg in a dorm. That party must be registered with the Housing Office and the resident assistant of that dorm~No more than 15 people at one time are allowed for a gathering. The beer must stay in the room of the person sponsoring the party or where otherwise designated. The person holding the gathering or someone associated with it must be 21 years and assume full responsibility. This policy was written as a revision after last year's action by the Dean's Council to remove all parties from the dorms. Alcoholic beverages are restricted to the Student- Center for parties. . We understand the administration's point of view that due to the state's 21 year old drinking age, the college does not want to be held responsible for condoning under-age drinking. They must, however, recognize that no matter what the law says, students who are under-age will continue to drink. The happy medium between the two seems to be the above alcohol/party policy or is it? • It is common knowledge that many parties are held, registered and unregistered, that are in severe violation of this policy. No action is taken,however, because they are never reported or brought to light. Most would feel that this is fine as long as these parties are held in a constructive manner and no damage is done to any dorms or as long as no one gets hurt. We can see the logic behind this, but is it also fair to those whose parties are in vfoiation, but held in a constructive manner and are then reported to the Dean's Council for action . Obviously there is an inconsistency involved here which doesn't appear to make any sense. We have no solutions to the problem but can only predict that similar situations will arise in the future. / . j /\I',,.... ,. ' '-.. ,· l ~ -~ _~\' . ~ !

One recommendation was to develop a freshmen college that offered additional attention for individuals and instruction for all freshmen as a whole. The results from this action have been widely talked about. and the final product was unveiled this year, titled the Freshmen Studies Program. The basic objective of the program is to teach the fi;eshmen to learn, how to study, and how to do research work on their own. The ex- . .~an't we order pizza tonight? Hofe' L'·fe No P·roble· m Freshmen Ad1·usf Well ::~;~ne~s traindividualattentionthestudents get is aimed at sharpening the students study skills while, at the same time, broadening the students . , • Despite appearances Wilkes College did not buy the Sterling Hotel for use as a college dormitory. What happened was that there was an increase in the number of 'students wanting to live on campus ; this combined with an already · existing shortage of housing and, presto, there are almost two hundred students assigned to the hotel. The housing office has managed to relocate a good number of students back into campus dormitories, but there are still one hundred and fifty students residing in the hotel. Odd as it may seem, this makes the .Sterling Hotel the largest dormitory at. Wilkes College. Jean Reiter, Associate Director of Housing, gave several reasons for the overload. The first is the rising cost of gasoline and fears concerning its availability during the winter months. These factors, along with a renewed enthusiasm for campus life, have convinced a greater number of _local area residents to reside at the school rather than at home. Also to blame was the Admissions office policy of accepting students up until the last couple of days before the start of school. The Housing Office was in the position of having to place students as late as the Friday before classes started. .The biggest problem at first was to find beds and furniture for every room. It seems the Sterling Hotel has managed to get by without having furniture for all its rooms. Why this is so is beyond me. Wilkes had ordered what was needed, but typically it wasn't delivered on time. The next issue to be dealt with was the number of Resident Assistants needed to cover the Hotel's large student population. Originally, Paul Adams, Director of Housing, had four RA's stationed there, but then decided to hire an additional one on a semester basis. The RA's duties at the hotel area the same as on campus, but those RA's in the hotel must deal with many more problems due to t~e hotels unique characteristics. For example, in none of the dorms on campus will you find someone who has made seven or eight room changes just since the semester started ; in the hotel you'll find a"t least one.· In the dorms you don't have the problem of army men recruiting college girls for parties ; in the hotel you do. These are only a few, but you get the idea. From the students' point of .view there are mixed reactions. The housing office has already a long list of those wanting to get out and move to a room on campus. Then again, there are some who like living in the hotel, some upperclassmen even went as far as to request a room there, if possible. The major complaint by students seems to be the long distance from the cafeteria . For business majors it isn't so bad because Parrish Hall is just across the street, but for many of the freshmen all their classes are in the . Stark Learning Center. Since its about a half mile from the cafe, in a day's travel one could easily walk close to five miles. Now, is that so bad? Getting fit and trim without even knowing about it! Most of the problems are on the administrative side of the coin. The cost of using the hotel only detracts from the money the college could be making. Plus, with the fire that broke out last semester the question of safety must be closely watched. The freshmen in the hotel have reacted well to the situation. They are now in the process of developing the ties · and friendships they will carry throughout their college days and hopefully through out their lives. It is our hope that despite the inconveniences these students have to put up with in this, their first year, they will have a rewarding and enjoyable college career. Perry Lichtinger LOT E N S of the world arou.nd D1rectmg the Freshmen Studies Program is Dr. Jean Driscoll. who also serves as the chairperson for the Political Science department. As as way to finance the program. Dr. Driscoll prepared, in 1977. a grant request from the National Endowment for t he Humanities. Not expecting to be accepted, the task force was estatic when they found out, in the fall of '78. that they ·had been granted funds to perdue the. development and implementation of their program. Dr. Driscoll noted that the program had to be revised several times before a suitable combination of content and cost could be found . The format finally decided upon \Hts a voluntary three-hour course covering such topics as; perspec- I ti',e. culture, history. and scientific methods. Films, discussion, and written assignments are tN<>d to fulfill the statec! otjectivel>. The format · of the program is such that the eight professors involved are not trying to teach their spec;alties, but rather the skills involved in doing individual research. In this respect. the Fr~shmen Studies Program is interdisciplinary. The teachers involved and their respective departments are: Dr. Richard Aston, Engineering ; Robert Freysinger. Political Science; Dr. Patricia Hearnen, Language and Literature ; Dr. Joseph Parker. Mathematics; Ms. Judy Rasson, Anthropology and Sociology ; and Dr. James Rodechko, History. Eight upperclass students were contracted as student fellows to help and assist with the program. They are: Mary Ann Bennet. Anthro.; Mary Bogumil, English; Mike Cononico, Engineering ; Loren Copeland, Pol Sci.. Kim Cresovich, Pre-med; Andrew Janquitto, History: Frank Sabatini. English ; and Michele Skurla, Math. These groups have been working since last · semester previewing films and discussing teaching strategies. Together they control the film viewing, discussion sessions, and tutoring. Hopefully, both students and the college will learn alot from this experiment; only time will tell. There are two· separate evaluating teams taking a look at the Wilkes program, thus providing information to those who will later decide if the program merits continuation. So far, reactions to the program from students is good. Nearly everyone I talked to liked the program and think it is worthwhile. There is some complaint over the amount of work. but the general feeling is that the extra work is well worth it. The instructors have made similar comments. stating that the program has so far worked out pretty much the way they had it planned. Also, as one professor put it, it is a great chance to sit down and talk about the situation the world is in today . During the discussion sessions many excellent comments have been brought up concerning not only basic causes for our problems, but also some pretty good suggestions too. The program seems to be giving the freshmen a chance to look talk about issues they might not have had the chance to without it. One good point that was made was that the freshmen aren't scared to speak out about our problems: and this is a good sign. The second semester opens a new section of the program. The instructors and student fellows will each teach a class and discuss whatever topic they feel will be most relavant. Since the subject matter discussed in the program is so varied, later in the coming issues I will bring up some of the more interesting topics raized. The program is· a good one and some things they bring up are worth a closer look, for us all to see. Perry Lichtinger Old Fashion Coffee House_ ShoWs Off College Talent Last Saturday night, a small crowd of people was treated to some of the best talent around when Cue-n-Curtain sponsored " An Old Fashion Coffee House" held in Church Hall. For those who weren't there, I can only say it's ·a shame you missed it. Eleven acts were put together for the evening and free coffee and cake were offered, but the real treat was in watching and listening to the artists perform. The show, put together by Tricia Lupi, offered a wide variety . of entertainment. A guy named Chaz opened with some guitar and vocals, then was joined by Adelle Tavella who provided harmony for a couple songs. Paul Kerrigan followed with a few Billy Joel songs on the piano. Adelle once again joined in and sang a Joan Beaz number called "Hello." Paul then gave the crowd an excellent dramatic monologue from the play " 1776." Lori Pritchard, a very talented freshman, shook the audience with an original dramatic monologue about a girl whose parents died. The realism of her performance made me want to call home and check to see that my folks were ok. Frank Forte brought the crowd back to earth with some songs and laughter on his guitar and kazoo . For someone who claims to have learned to sing only a week ago Frank turned in a fine performance . For the next act the crowd came alive and for good reason. A fellow by the name of Pat Goodwin took the stage and carried the-next twenty minutes or so with his version of many popular songs. Pat in the past has played the area in many bars and nightclubs, but will take some time off to develop his own material. When he returns I'm sure he'll be as good as ever if not better. The first half was closed by Seamus McGraw who, with his convincing style of speech, took the crowd down to the subways of New York and described the sad goodbye scene between a cosmopolitan girl and her wino father . Tricia Lupi accompanied on the piano. The second half started on a funny note with Chris Lonstrup reading a very good story about a boy, working in an A&P and his adventures following three bathing suit clad females through the aisles. Mark Bell, another freshman, sang three or four numbers, some of which were original. Darlene, Shafer, who along with Chris Lonstrup compete for the very successful debate team, gave the audience a very touching story titled, "Blue Rose."It wasn't the story itself that moved me. but rather the way Darlene told it. I can see very clearly now why our debate team is doing so well. Maria Smigel, with back-up vocals and guitar work by Tricia Lupi, presented us with a couple songs from the play Godspell . The two worked well together and this portion of the show was very enjoyable. In the final act of the night, Tricia Lupi let us in on a little secret. It's nice when she accompanies other performers, but it's a real treat when she goes it alone. Don't take my word for it. She starts playing tonight at Emersons at 10 p.m . Stop by and listen, then you'll know what I mean. In all the evening of entertainment went very well, and I'm going to make it a point not to miss the next Coffee House they put on. Many thanks must go out to Bill Stusnik, John Salwitz, Bill Turcan. Curt Schrawder, and Michael Flamirii for their help in pultting the show on. Thanks also to Seamus McGraw who was the me for the evening, and to Pat Goodwin for the use of his sound equipment.

It will b~ the first major program. to be sponsored by the college organization which was established earlier this year to communicate and appreciate the cultural heritage of the many ethnic groups that have settled in Wyoming Valley. Grigorenko, who was featured as a Soviet dissident in a recent issue of "Time" magazine, was born 1907 in the za·porizhe region of the Ukraine. As a former majorgeneral in the Red Army and department head at Frunze Military Academy, he received several decorations including the prestigious " Order of Lenin." His tribulations as an open critic of the Soviet government began in World War II when he · criticized Stalin's military policies for failing to prepare the country for war. He was dismissed from · his post as head of the Frunze Academy in 1961 for criticizing the Krushchev personality cult. Grigorenko was later arrested in 1964 for continued dissidence and was stripped of his rank and placed in an institution. After his release in 1965, he protested against the 1965-66 t_rials of writers and the 1968 Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. He was ar- Mary Ann Fedor rested in 1969 and tried in ansentia for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda and deflamation of the Soviet state.

He was granted a six month visa to the United States for medical treatment in Fall 1977 then stripped of his Soviet citizenship and denied permission.to return to Russia. He currently resides in New York City and is head of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group-Abroad. · The open dialogue ·is presented to the public as a community service free of charge.

The response to the first SUB party during the 79-80 school year was excellent. Two-hundred and forty persons attended the party aud many more persons were turned a~y because the building· was filled to capacity. Admission_was two ollars. The sophomore class sold mugs at the price of two dollars and fifty cents, however if a . mug and . a ticket were purchased the total price was only three dollars and fifty cents. '.fhe first floor of the·student union building served as a disco w_ith disc jockey J.J. hosting the evening. A party was held in the basement. Available for the enjoyment of those attending were beer and snacks. The discovery that two cases of mugs were stolen was the only disappointment of the evening. The plans for the SUB party were finalfzed at the meeting of · the sophomore class on September 18. Plans for the· class float were also discussed_and are currently underway. Another major topic of inquiry was the Freshman-Sophomore Dinner-Dance. Danny Glunk, president of the sophomore class, stated that the date of the dance is March 15 and the dance will be held :it the Treadway Inn. The six piece band, " Whirlwind," will perform from 9 p.m. to 1 a .m. that evening. Disc jockey, Charlie Sotolongo will'host the dinner-dance. a Mary Ann Fedor wards.

It came during Dean Ralston's presentationand it had to deal with school "spirit." The dean expressed a joy over the fact that so many students attended the assembly, which showed that spirit does exist here at Wilkes. contrary to popular belief. Everyone in that gym that day even got "pumped up" over the dean's dramatic cheer - "Gooooooooooo, WILKES!" It was really refreshing to see that "spirit" alive · at Wilkes and to experience it at first-hand . The last three years around here have been as exciting as a run-away checker tournament. · We have the spirit. that's a fact. But we have to find new avenues to let us express our feelings and let it all hang out. After a week of racking your brain with math problems or finding out why Hitler did this or that. you can unwind. What I'm trying to say is this. Is it possible to have more of the assemblies. We could even focus them on athletics . You remember them from your " old" high school days - pej> rallies. Don't say you ' ve outgrown them . because many of the major colleges and universities still have pep rallies for most of their sports. Now. a pep rally every week is absurd. But. what if they could be set up where, every sport that season is present and cheered on for its next victory. We do have a rally during Homecoming festivities. but we must get the winter and spring sports involved. Many of the a_thletes around the school have expressed a positive attitude about possible rallies and fixing them up together with some parties on weekends. There are many ways of going about getting the spirit to flow . But the first is a very easy one - go to the game. Attendanre at most Wilkes sporting events is awful. Most of the people there are parents and friends. But where are the students. Come on, you can' t study all your life. Last year. many of the students did come out during the winter season and the Wilkes Gymnasium was packed for some key wrestling matches and the Wilkes- King's basketball games (both here and at King's). Using the winter teams of wrestling and men's basketball as examples. we could possibly have pep rallies before an important wrestling match <Oregon State?> or an important basketball game (vs.King's, Scranton?) How about it? Would you go for it? There would have to be a lot of work done by the student body, especially for the leaders to get to all the students and get them interested in the athletic teams. Led by SG president Dave Blumfield, who could turn out to be one of the finest presidents in history at WHkes. we could do it. So. get out to a game. cheer your fellow students on and maybe. just maybe. your contribution to the team could turn a losing season into a winnin and rofit hie e Ala---'"4 ►-------------------rl ,.____ "ONE OF THE BEST PICTURES OF THE YEAR!'

This past Saturday, the Colonels of Coach Ernesto Lopez dropped a !1-1 decision to a Division II Bloomsburg State College squad in Bloomsburg. Senior Nick Golowich had the only goal for Wilkes against the Huskies. It was the first goal allowed this year by Bloomsburg State. who earlier in the week shutout a very good Scranton University team . Having good games for the Colonels were: Warren Bush, Dave Reynolds. (;h.arlie Issacs, John Brill. Zumi. Chip Boyer. Mike Karns. Carlos Riebero, John Hart. and Bob Binegworth. This Saturday the Colonels will host Lycoming Col·lege and then meet Baptist Bible on Oct. :1 at Ralston Field. King's College is organizing a soccer team. and Lopez feels this will add greatly to local soccer interest.

The official in last week's Wilkes - Lycoming football game, could have just as well been wearing a Warrior jersey, when he signaled that Lycoming had scored in the fourth quarter. If you don't know by now, Wilkes was leading _7-3 with about eight minutes left to play, and Lycoming had a fourth and goal situation from the two-yard line. They went for it, and Mike Santoleri was credited with a touchdown on a run of one and three quarters yard . Films clearly show that Santoleri was stoppoed short of the goal line 1:ii,o - GOING FOR A Shown above is junior tailback Carmen "Homer" LoPresto. who needs only 30 yards to reach the coveted 1.000-yard career mark. LoPresto. from Pittston. should reach the mark this Saturday when the Colonels (1-1) host undefeated Upsala College. <PHOTO BY GAETANO> by a ferocious Wilkes defensive line, which grew more ferocious after the TD call was made. Initially, Santoleri landed about a foot shy of the goal line and then he jumped over the line after he had already been down. In a hesitation move, which constitutes some unsureness on part of one referee, the official signaled a score. The other officials did not do anything. Those on the sidelines witnessed the other officials "just shaking their heads" after the call was made. Was it a bad call? Your damn right it was, and. it could possibly cost Wilkes a MAC title. It seems like only yesterday when an umpire blew a call in the Wilkes Elizabethtown baseball game last spring, and turn a Wilkes romp of the Blue Jays into a Colonel defeat. That loss almost cost Wilkes a MAC North-West title, but the Blue and Gold rebounded to beat E-town in a playoff. Now, back to the game. With the loss, Wilkes is now 1-1 in the MAC and will host a tough Upsala Col; lege team in a crucial MAC game this Saturday at home at 1:30. Upsala is undefeated in the MAC, and Wilkes followers must hope that the Colonels come out on top this week and Upsala can knock off Lycoming. The Colonels only score came on a three-yard run by junior Carmen LoPresto, who had 82 yards on 18 carries for the Wilkesmen. LoPresto is now only 30 yai,ds shy of the coveted 1,000 career mark and should get it Saturday in front of the home crowd. , Mike Wilson started for Wilkes and finished the day hitting on only five of 20 for 121 yards and two interceptions. Coach Rollie Schmidt went with Tom Cywinski for the Colonels last desperat~ drive and he was 1-4 with an interception. Only the shadow knows who will start at QB this week. Another possibility is Wayne "Call me Matt Robinson" Lonstein. a sophomore from New York. Soph lefty Tony Vlahovic is injured and it 's not known when he will come back. The Colonel defense on Saturday was again, as always. super. Steve Croghan played a super game ex! cept for one play, and Glenn Colvin was in on almost every play coming from the linebacker's position. Ed Mollahan also played extremely well in leading the line charge . Soph Bob Luby had two interceptions for the Colonels and is now tied for team lead in that department with senior Dave Korba. Both have three interceptions on the year. This week's game with Upsala could be the turning point in the season . The Vikings will probably be a sfight favorite in Saturday's match-up.

The day started very early when students began gathering in front of the Stark Learning Center at 7:30 a.m. for their journey to Hershey, "Chocolate Town, USA.'' Over 300 students and fac ulty participated in the event, and five buses and a van were utilized. The buses left Wilkes promptly at 8:00 a.m. for the two hour ride. Most students went to take the famous tour through the Hershey Chocolate Factory and purchase . those famous chocolate bars for * . GOING UP - Wilkes students on their way towards the loop on the "Super . themselves and friends. DOOPER Looper." . After this adventure, the park was open and Wilkes students wasted no time getting into the swing of things and showing that Wilkes College spirit. The weather was exceptionally beautiful for a day at an amusement park. The ferris wheel, carousel and the "Sliding Bobs" were thejirst ri~~~ that you could spot a Wilkes 'student or faculty member-on. As the day went on, the most popular rides seemed to · be "The Comet," where you go straight up and straight down; the ".Super Dooper Looper," which has the great loop; and the "Coal Cracker," where one gets slightly wet. If one could not see a Wilk es student Business Dept. Head Margaret Scholl Sophomore Class Still Being Sought The resignation of Dr. Robert Werner as Chairman of the Business Department -has left the school with the difficult task of finding a replacement. According to Robert S. Capin, President of Wilkes College, the selection of a new chairman will come from outside of the depart- · ment in an effort to bolster the busines program. Capin stated, "Outside candidates will bring in new ideas and will have different contacts which will advance the reputation of the program." The searching process for a chairman actually began last year but was abandoned after a few months. Capin commented that the nominees interviewed at that time did not want the position or did not meet standards set by the administration. "We decided to wait until this fall when the market for the kind of person we need would be right." President Capin ·stressed that the responsibilites of any chairmanship are great, and the qualifications needed to handle them will not be overlooked. It is up to the department chairman not only to maintain academic integrity but also to manage the department efficiently. He must make book orders, faculty assignments, tenure recommendations as well as keep abreast of the quality of education offered under jurisdiction. When aske~d to comment on the pressures of the position. Dr. Howard Williams, acting business chairman, said he felt that the position was a buffer between faculty and administration members. He further stated that the chairman is the one person the public focuses their attention on when they address the business field. Williams noted that although he considers the program here at Wilkes to be very good, there are some changes that can be made to improve the curriculum. One example of such a on a particular ride, they certainly could hear them. Different groups of students banded together- and showed that Wilkes spirit by repeating the "Go Wilkes" cheer on various rides. Rarely would you see a Wilkes student sitting down ; they were constantly on the go. Some other popular attractions were: visiting ZooAmerica; seeing the dolphin shows; riding the MonoRail and singing the Hershey Park theme song ; or riding in the "Kissing Tower" and doing who knows what. Everyone who went seemed to have an enjoyable time but most were completely exhausted by the time the buses arrived back in Wilkes-Barre. change would be to weed out courses no longer useful to a business major. Perhaps the M.B.A. program could be better publicized to attract more students. Williams concluded by saying that even though these changes would improve the business program, a student is advised to follow the requirements contained in the Bulletin for a good education. Dean Hartdagen is leading the search for a new chairman and it appears that everyone is confident that he will find the right person for the position very shortly.

Communications Studies Begiiis,· Replaces Engll.sh Con cen tra t,·on. Communications Studies i~ now officially underway, replacing the concentrations in Speech and Communications previously included in the English curriculum. The goal of the program is to offer students a Communications degree which combines a liberal arts education with 'training m occupational skills, according to Dr. Thoms Kaska, Chairman of the Department of Languages and Literature. He continued that the college has been awarded a grant from the Ford Foundation, entitled Project Quill. Under the terms of the grant, a senior seminar. Communications in an Open Society will be offered next fall. This course will cover ethics, communication law. semantics, persuasion, and propaganda in order to enhance and develop the students' ability to analyze and interpret events from a humanistic perspective. Many of the other new communications courses will also be offered for the first time next fall. This semester, six communications courses and an internship are being offered. They include Fundamentals of Speech. Rhetoric, Principles of Communication, Mass Media, News Writing and Public Relations. A seventh course, Broadcast Management was cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. At least one course in broadcasting will be offered in the spring semester, stated Dr. Kaska . Student interest in the prograin is · increasing. There are approximately fifteen new freshmen communications majors as well as between fifty and sixty upperclassmen English majors with concentrations in communications. In addition, a new faculty member, Dr. Norma Schulman, has been added to help teach the new courses. Her qualifications include Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in English Literature, a Master of Arts degree in Broadcasting, and a Ph.D. · in English and American Literature. Dr. Schulman is teaching composition this fall by choice. Because of her joint appointment in English and Communications, Dr. Schulman will be teaching courses in both disciplines in the future, stated Dr. Kaska.

In Europe he became very interested in the. theater. It was at this point that he decided he should do what he considered worthwhile and not what everyone told him was important. He decided to return to graduate school at the University of Iowa for a degree in theater. After graduation he directed professionally near Chicago. He was then contacted by a college in Virginia and asked to be the director of their theater. He decided to take the job because of his love of teaching and the theater. The job at Wilkes attracted him for several reasons. First, the theater facility itself is excellent and easy to work in. He also liked the opportunity to start out on the ground floor of a new theater program, where he could have a hand in generating interest in the students toward the theater. Other deciding factors included : the . ) · academic reputation of the college, the closeness of the college to New York City ( with all its theaters ) and the chance to work with professional designer Klaus Holm and director Leonard Powlick. Siegfried believes that there is a real committment on behalf of the faculty and administration towards the liberal arts tradition and that theater is an integral part of this tradition. He feels that any student can become involved in a production if they are genuinely interested, no matter how inexperienced they are. It is his feeling that any interested i;itudents should attend the Cue'n'Curtain club meetings and show auditions . As for his personal data he says he is, " happily married, no children and one cat. " He likes to run and jog and is getting his wife interested in running. His only real hobby is playing his twelve year old Martin guitar. When asked why he has so few hobbies, he smiled and said, " because the theater consumes most of my time." Student Government President pleted since.

Time is running out before Student Government will be forced to m a ke a decision as to whether to abandon the SG teacher e yaluation project or not. This will probably be the most important decision they make all ye ar. SG will be going into its third year conducting the teacher. evaluations. To say it simply they have not been s uccessful in t he past. Some classes don 't get ev aluated while in others only eig-ht, students out of m a ny will e valua te t he _tea c her. The n t her e is t he problem of compiling all the data. The college doesn't have a scanner to read the data off the forms so SG has to find some firm or institution that will let them use their scanner. Last year SG had to recopy each-individual evaluation form (over 6,000) because. the - scanner they finally found would not read the information off our forms. Once the results came through, they were very confusing and complex to appreciate and use. When done correctly they could be an important asset to the college. In many schools where t~ey are conduc;tfd Sl/,_<;cessfully year after year, the re.suits are used in the decision-making process of granting tenure and the,P,romotion of faculty members. 1suggest that the We are pleading to SG 1fiof to givfl heriF up:, -We ;,.J• •.1-1 11 · I • ,,_., >-., administration hire and pay for a consultant to come in show SG what is the best waY. ~o conduct the evaluation.

Chocolate _T own This past-Sunday Student Government sponsored a trip to Hershey Park, the first all-college trip. The idea for the trip came about at the end of the spring semester and SG followed through with it to make it happen. All the planning and arranging were taken care of over the summer, and when the semester began, SG put out an aggressive publicity promotion to make sure everyone was well aware of the trip. Though a larger crowd was desired, close to 300 people took part in the day. No complaints were registered, and the only regrets made were by the students who did not go. Dave Blumfield and the rest of SG should be commended for their efforts. A job well done! Our only hope is that the rest of SG 's activities go over as well as the first. NOTICE Creative?

Dr. Herbert Garber, music professor, is taking the initial steps to organize one by first starting a string ensemble. The college already has in existence a band under the direction of Mr. Campbell. Dr. Garber feels that there is a definite need for the string ensemble. It would provide enjoyment for the entire college body and the community. Dr. Garber stresses, "Anyone interested in the ensemble need not be a music major." He hopes that the string ensemble will eventually develop . into an orchestra and will be comprised of students of all interests.

There was one problem though, somebody forgot to tell veteran Mike Wilson. All the senior from Upper Marlboro, Md., did last week was come off the bench to throw touchdown passes of- 22 ~Eand 30 yards Mike Wilson to Rob Irwin to lead Wilkes to a 13-3 opening day victory over MAC foe Delaware Valley at Ralston Field. Wilson completed eight of 15 for 126 yards in addition to gaining another 75 yards on the grQl,1,QQ on ten carries to finish the day <vith over 200 yards \ot~l offense. It's' no wonder he w'as nominated for the ECAC player of the ,week honors. Word of this week's winner came after press time. Cywinski started for Wilkes and just could not get things going. missing on his three pass attempts and throwing an interception. With Wilkes trailing 3-0 in the second quarter, Coach Schmidt went to Wilson, who abounds with potential. Wilson guided Wilkefi t.hr.oughout the second quarter and with O: 19 left on the clock, he hit' Irwlri with a 22-yard scoring.. strike ~~-- ~take '! Wilkes to a 6-3 advantage. Sophomore soccer-style kicker Tony Tavella booted the extra-point and Wilkes went into the lockerroom with a 7-3 lead. After the opening kickoff of the second period, Del Val passed on third down and super senior Dave Korba intercepted at the thirty. It was one ·of three intercepts on the day for Korba, whose career total of 12 is only three shy of the Wilkes record held by Joe Wiendl. Bob Luby, who also returns punts and kicks, also notched an interception. On the first play from the 30, Wilson went deep to Irwin who made a splendid catch for the score. The snap on the extra point was fumbled and Tavella never got it off. That was all the scoring and Wilkes had a 1-0 overall record and a more important MAC slate of 1-0 to take into this week's league game with a tough Lycoming team in Williamsport. The Colonels have now won four in a row, counting the last three victories of 1978. Irwin had an exceptional day for Wilkes -against Del Val, catching four passes for 92 yards' and the two scores. Sean O'Dea also had two Bob Irwin ,. · Dave Korba receptions for 22 yards as did Rob Rushworth . Behind Wilson, rushing wise was junior Carmen LoPresto who had a rough . opening day, gaining 66 yards on 19 carries. Wilkes starting fullback Paul Kotulak was held to two yards on only one carry. . The Wilkes defense, which looked terrible in the first quarter, came alive and dominated the game in the final three quarters of action. Leading the line charge were Jim Devaney and Ed Mollahan, who enjoyed fine games. Linebackers Glenn Colvin and Mike Patrick, along' with Jim Martin, aided the "D " also. The secondary was fair at times but got " burned" quite a bit when it should not have. If not for Korba's and Luby's intercepts, the score might have been Jifferent. · Another problem with Saturday's game was the clock. We would like to think that at Wilkes College we win fairly . But if you had your eye on the clock Saturday, it continued to run after Del Val either went out of bounds or threw an incomplete pass. And the officials were not keeping the official time on the field - they went by the score board clock and are also to blame. Eddie White Ladies··:L -o ok for First: Open Today at Scranton " We'll have to replace some important people, but I think we're going to be all right," said Wilkes women's field- hockey coach G,!y Meyers . All her girls did last year was have a 8-4-4 outing, winning their fifth straight NPWIAA crown and their first ever Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division title. Pam Snyder Gone however, from last year's super team are Julie Kerrick and Lu Ann Neely through graduation and last year's great freshman Mary Lynn Drebelbis, who transferred to Messiah College. Another problem that Coach Meyers is experiencing is that of lier junior nursing majors. Due to their study time, they will miss many practices, and some key games. " We have a lot of good freshmen and some of those girls will see a lot of action early," added Meyers . The Colonelettes will be riding on the wings of senior co-captains Mary Jo Frail, from Wilkes-Barre and Meyers High School, and Jerry Ann Smith, from Conestoga Valley. Both girls are very experienced and are three time letter winners. The lady Colonels had three scrimmages prior to today's season opener at Scranton. Last week, they scimmaged Elizabethtown and Coach Meyers explained that it proved ·to be a " waste of time" due to the poor field conditions. They did however have good conditions on Friday at Bloomsburg State and although the girls were not as sharp and together as the coach would like them to be, they still looked very good . The final scrimmage was Sunday against the Alumni. If past performances are any indication, the 1979 edition of the Wilkes College field hockey team will be as successful and exciting as always . . Gary Mack Mary Jo Frail The Wilkes College cross country team opened its season with a sweep of a triangular event this past Saturday at the 5.4 mile Kirby Park course. Wilkes defeated crosstown rival King's College 23-36, and Delaware Valley 25-30. Delware Valley's Jim Parsons took the individual honors with an outstanding time of 27:53.5. WIikes' super soph Ken Pascoe finished second at 28:31.5. Two King's runners took third and fourth - Francis Awanya of Uganda and Al Leonard. Wilkes harriers Dan Thomas and Ed Eppler placed fifth and sixth with times of 29 : 34 and 29 : 40 respectively. . Other Wilkes finishers included: · John Supinski, eighth ; Roger Davis, 12th ; Lou Mucciolo, 15th; Captian •Doh Patrick; Vince D'Amato; Steve Kovac ; Ken Waters; Kevin Cavanaugh ; and Bob Feldman. The Colonels now 2-0, were expected to meet Baptist Bible yesterday and then travel for a triangular meet with arch-rival Scranton University and Muhlenberg on Sept. 26. , Rich Nordheim ;. �September 20, 1!17!1, · The Beacon, I bttwttntht READ THIS! b)· Eddie \\lhite lints Page 7 Soccer-i Opens I The Yankees had Babe Ruth, the Lakers had Wilt Chamberlain, and the Cosmos had Pele. Almost all , sporting teams have a superstar to lead them. This yea r 's Wilkes College soccer team, however, rioes not. According to coach Ernesto Lopez, the Wilkes booters will have to rel y on team-work as the key to victory this year due to this lack o' a one superstar. The squad proved their potential in the alumni-scrimmage, downing the over-the-hill gang 5-0. Recently they opened the season for real against a tough Upsala College team and dropped a 4-2 overtime decision in East Orange, N.J. The main problem with this year's team .is the lack of experience. A majority of the players are in there first year of soccer at Wilkes and many have never played the sport before. Coach Lopez r.nd his assistant Kurt Hagman will be counting upon a few veterans to guide the inexperienced players. One such vet is Dung Chi Duong, or Zumi. Zumi, who plays the front line, is- the team 's number one offensive threat and he is an excellent dribbler who can score from any part of the offensive end of the field. Playing up front with Zumi will be another seasoned veteran Carlos Riebero. These two players will provide Wilkes with an awesome one-two scoring punch . Goalie Dave Reynolds and fullback Nick Golowich will be the groundstone on which the defense is built. Reynolds has ex-perience and has looked very impressive in practice. He should give the opposing teams more frustration than they can handle. Nick will lead the "D" from the center fullback position. There are many question marks in. regards to this year's club . The lack of experience points towards a losing season, but the tremendous amount of enthusiasm the team displays makes up for this loss two times over. The offense will try to develop a short passing game, involving much teamwork. This combined with the team 's enthusiasm and a lot of fan support, could make this season's edition is a Read this!

This center will take over the functions of the Student Union Building.and Commons here at Wilkes. The old SUB building will be used for theater and speech classes while the Commons will be razed in order to expand the Chase Courtyard. , The basement of the center is only half completed and is expected to be finished in about two weeks. This section is planned to have food vending machines and numerous tables and chairs. A stereo system will also be installed although it is doubtful whether each room will have a speaker due to the enormous cost. U is in the basement where most of the parties at the center will originate, and according to Dave Kerek, Student Center President, the first party is scheduled to take place in about two w~ks. The first floor of the structure is the only level which is finished . This floor serves as the cafeteria and provides two seating areas. The second floor is in use and will be the location of the used bookstore and the center's television room. The TV will be located in a room containing large leather chairs featuring both cable and local television stations. Kerek mentioned the possibility of a large TV viewing screen, possibly funded by Student Government and also a home box office unit. , After a great· amount of work with little success, the third floor of _9le center wm remai11 closed _du~J_Q_ fire regulations. lni!ially this floor was to be used for student apartments or office space, but unless state legislation changes in the near future, the use of this level will not be possible. During tlie year, Kerek will be assisted by three directors in order to handle the many responsibilities of the center. These assistant directors are Kevin O'Brien, Lisa Prokaryon and Mike Cannonico. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Peter Steve · In the beginning of August our new Academic dean began his job. · He is Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, and his title is Dean of Academic_ Affairs . Dr. Hartdagen grew up in Thurmont, Maryland. After he graduated from high school he served in the Navy for four years during the Korean War. In January of 1953 he entered the Un.iversity of Maryland at College Park. He graduated in 1957 with a B.A. in · History. Hartdagen says, "I liked it so much I stayed an extra Semester''. A· Danforth Fellowship enabled him to attend graduate school at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he received an M.A. in History. In the summer of 1959 he joined the faculty of the Illinois State . University as a replacement · member for two years. Hartdagen returned to Nor- . thwestern to finish his studies in 1963. In the fall of 1964 he completed his discertation on "The Anglican Church in Colonial Maryland". At this time he got his first permanent job at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., where he taught as an assistant professor for four yours. Meanwhile, his discertation was . approved and h,e received his Ph.d. from Northwestern in 1965. In the fall of 1968 he accepted a Coll~ge Trip Sunday • the Super Duper Looper; the Coal Cracker, a water ride ; and ZooAmerica. There will probably be a roller coaster contest as to which Wilkes student can stay on the ride the longest. The prize? A huge chocolate Hershey bar, of course! Blumfield feels "the event provides an opportunity for students, faculty, administration and alumni to meet each other on a less constrictiv.e basis." The administralion is pleased and feels that it is a worthwhile event. Tickets are on sale daily in the SG Used Bookstore, second floor of the Student Center, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. , and also from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.Jll. in the cafeteria. Price for the · first 500 students is $10.75 and other, $12.75. . The ticket price includes admission into the park which entitles you to ride the rides and see the attraclions, and also bus fare on Martz Trailways. :fhe buses will depart from the college at 8 a.m . and leave the park at 8 p.m. For those eho haven't purchased a ticket yet - don't miss out on the fun - get yours today! Margaret Scholl As Dean of Academic Affairs he is responsible for all faculty and academic programs, and all · chairmen of academic departments and programs report to him. Right now his major objective is "to get to know the college and its faculty and staff and to become im-' mersed in the college" . About his plans he says, " I don't have any ready made plans - I don't think it's proper to come in with a set of ready made plans". He does, however, have a list of priorities. They include: 1. To make sure that the visit from Middle States is successful this fall . 2. To secure a completed and approved tenure policy. 3. To get a feel for things and develop more priorities. Louis Czachor College Readies For Evaluation Dr. Gerald Hartdagen journals. At Purdue he was active in Faculty Governance.

What else but HersheyPark! ! There can't be too many people on campus .who don't know what the excitement is all about · The "talk of the campus" is "Wilkes College Day" at HersheyPark to be held Sunday, Sept. 16th. The event of the year is under the direction of Student Government. with efforts led by David Blumfield. Blumfield is "confident that it is the largest event Wilkes College ever had." The SG President has worked closely the entire summer with Dean Arthur Hoover, "an avid HersheyPark fan" ; Todd Pierce, the Wilkes-Barre Representative for Hershey Park; and Becky Kelly, Head of Group Sales. Blumfield found Pierce and Kelly "a tremendous help and extremely cooperative." "Wilkes College Day" is a first for both Wilkes and• HersheyPark. There is definite excitement on both parts for the upcoming event. For those who don't know, HersheyPark has within its boundaries - three roller coasters, including position at Purdue University as an associate professor of History.

He has been active in ·publications since 1968, having written several articles for professional ::ri) t~~ t~:~ 1:~~~~~~/0 th:~ elsewhere: The Minnesota winters were too hard to take, he felt he was losing touch with his own discipline (Colonial History), and his family was too far away from its relatives. With these things in mind he was interviewed in March for the position of Academic Dean. Hartdagen says that he was quite impressed and he "likes the way the campus blends into the community" . He adds, "I like the sense of history of the old homes". He is impressed with the faculty and administrators. He explains, "I am more impressed with President Capin than any of the other presidents I've worked with". About the students here he says, "I'm very impressed and pleased with the students I have met and worked so far". Hartdagen is living close to the college so that he can walk to school and "be completely immersed in the college". Beginning next fall he hopes to teach a course in Colonial History here. He has two daughters - one is a second semester freshman here and the other is a senior at Wyoming Seminary. In his spare time he likes to hunt and fish . After a year and a half of preparation, the college is presently in the final stages of reaccreditation by the Committee of Higher Education of Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Last fall, in the first phase of the accreditation process, a special group of faculty, administration and students were divided into six committees: Steering; Goals, Outcome and Program ; Students and Student Life ; Teaching; Faculty and Governance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. Each committee prepared an interim report containing a candid self-analysis of any strengths and weaknesses. Presently, these reports are being compiled by Dr. Robert Kelly and Alfred Groh into a case study for submission to the accreditation committee at the end of September. After considering this selfevaluation, a team of seven experienced educators, headed by Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Drew University, will visit the campus from November 4 to November 7. They will speak : with students, faculty and staff members in order to make their own anaylsis of campus conditions. Anyone who would like to make an appointment with the committee during their visit to discuss a serious matter, should contact Dr. Hartdagen, Weckesser Hall. On November 7, the accreditation team will present an exit review to President Capin, containing a report on any merits or deficiencies of the college. The decision of whether or not to award accreditation will be made sometime in the spring. Every ten continued on p.3 ,, �• iHOP Book And Record Mart 41 South Main Street FRIDAY.NIGH,T SPECIAL 18 S.

In explaining his role as Housing Director Paul said, "Students don't understand the function of the Housing Office. We are here to help them in any way possible."

They feel the facilities available on campus do limit where co-ed housing could be implemented but do see a lot of advantages to it. One idea that Jean would like to see become a reality is the redistribution of the men's dorms. Currently, all the male dormlLare located in one city block while the female dorms are scattered over five. The main reason behind this would be for security purposes. Last year there was talk of making Miner Hall into a female dorm and switching off with Sterling Hall but this fell through. Concerning the party policy, when Paul and . Jean attended Wilkes the policy was such that most of the keg parties were held in the dorms . . Upon their return, however, all that has changed with · the new policy discouraging dorm parties. "I understand the student's view that it is much more comfortable to have parties in the dorm but one of the biggest problems was the damage," said Paul. He sees a direct relationship between drinking and damage done to the dorms. The Hotel'Sterling The biggest problem facing the Housing Office is the overflow of students admitted who requested housing. At the beginning of the year there were close to 180 students living in the Hotel Sterling, which the college has used in the last three years. This year, however, is the largest amount of students by about 60. Paul said the students will be moved out of the hotel as soon as there are openings on campus and in order of the dates on their housing contracts when they paid their housing deposit. All students are requested to be patient as Paul noted it will take time. Right now Paul and Jean do not plan to make any major changes in running the Housing facilities this year but are rather situating themselves in a position that is very open to change. Jim Edwards ·Evaluation From page 1 years, institutions wishing to be ac: credited must undergo an evaluation by the Middle States Committee. Wilkes has been accredited . since 1950. President Capin is optimistic about receiving accreditation. Having no outstanding debts, Wilkes is financially stable. In fact, a surplus is predicted for this academic year. Despite a tuition increase, enroll- ment is up approximately 15 per. cent from last year and financial aid has increased. He continued that although there is room for improvement, academically Wilkes is a progressive institution. · 531-39 S. Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. · 829-9209" 15 S. Franklin St ·, Wilkes-Borre, Po.

The Pride of Wilkes Over the last four years Wilkes has gone through many changes. They have all been reported in this paper but many times people , forget or they go unnoticed or they are taken for granted. This is the time to start to take notice of what Wilkes has to offer in this new era of progress. · It all began when President Capin was innaugurated the third president of the college. Since then the admissions office has been totally restaffed and is working aggressively. The Nursing Department received initial accreditation from the National League for Nursing. The Music and Commerce & Finance departments have been revitalized with strong leadership under new chairmen. The forever vacant Conyngham Home on South River Street has been transformed into a fantastic Student Center. The Alumni now receive a magazine quarterly throughout the year keeping them in close touch with the college. The new Dean of Academic Affairs appears to be very promising and is a ·good example of the house cleaning that has been going on in Weckesser Hall an~ the college in general. The Alumni Director is making steps to turn this year's Homecoming into an all out main event. A Communications program has been introduced. The Debate team is receiving national recognition. The college radio station is growing and improving every month . · The wrestling team co~tinues to win and captured a second place title-in the Eastern Championships last year. We have three class presidents who are taking their jobs seriously. The Engineering department continually boasts of 100 percent placement of its graduates. There are 180 students living in the Hotel which indicates a growing interest in Wilkes outside the Wyoming Valley. The list goes on. • Like any college, Wilkes has problems, but it is pointing itself in the direction of meeting the demands that will be put on all private liberal arts colleges in the future . What the college has in its favor far outweighs its problems .. In no way are we saying that the students should be honored to attend Wilkes College but we do have a lot to be proud of. . Pride is contagious and could unite this campus. It could create the so called "Wilkes College Family" feeling. It could motivate the students, faculty and administration to ..coordinate.efforts that would lead to acheivements - never before thought possible. Apathy is not a problem on this campus. The problem is a lack of pride and respect. Let's take a look at what we've got around us and appreciate it. A simple change of attitude could make all the difference.

I �_Page 6, The Beacon, ~eptember 13, 1979 . • Harriers Look·For Best, Will Run ''Right" Way · After their first two winning seasons in the history of the program, the Wilkes College -cross country team will be out to have its best season yet. One of the reasons for this is the return of all the lettermen of last season. The other reason is the appointment of new head coach Ron Righter, who was also appointed head basketball coach. "I am very impressed with the team. The at- titude is good and I hope to continue the winning ways with a lot of hard work," stated Righter. One of the ways Righter is trying to improve the team is by having them run twice a day. Righter has also added more stretching exercises which includes yoga. Helping out Coach Righter will be Steve Justice, who will also be assistant basketball coach. This year's captain is senior Don Welcome Back! Welcome Back! I guess you've heard the more than once during the past week or so. But the "big story" around Wilkes' sports this week is now who's welcomed back, but who wasn't. There have been many coaching changes since we've last seen each other. The major change comes in men's basketball, where two coaches were hired since the end of last season. You might remember that Joe Super, as assistant with Hartwick, was named as the new coach in the last issue of the Beacon last year. Super replaced Rodger Bearde who lost his job to tenure. Well , Super held the post for a month and resigned, yeah, he resigned, due to personal reasons, (girlfriend and all that). His departure let Wilkes-cage fans and the AD John Reese up in the air, like maybe, SUPERMAN. Reese was pressured to find a replacement fast and keep the program from dying. Then, he came across the "right" man. The Wilkes athletic office hired former St. Joe's cager Ron Righter, who stands at 6-7, to handle the men's basketball chores. Once you meet Righter, you'll know why people are saying Wilkes will be a basketball power in two years or so. The likeable former Hawk, replaced another great guy in Bearde. It is rate in sports when one "real nice guy" replaces another. The only problem we have in all this. is trying to figure out why Righter was passed up the first time around. Anyway, he's here and men's basketball at Wilkes is on the way up, with some top-notch recruits and a host of talented lettermen returning including All-World Kendall McNeil. Don't be too surprised to see the Colonels in the MAC playoffs this winter. Another basketball appointment ( men's) is new assistant coach Steve Justice, who _replaces Clarence Ozgo, who left to assist Bearde at Lake-Lehman High School near Dallas. Justice and Righter both possess "big-time :: backgrounds, instrumental in turning a program like Wilkes around. Righter was All-Big Five with the Hawks and played for Coach Jack McKinney, recently named coach of the L.A. Lakers. The day he got the job, McKinney called Righter to give him the good news. Justice is a former Minnesota cager who played with the likes of Jim Brewer and San Diego Padres' superstar Dave Winfield. Both will also run the Wilkes College cross country program this fall. In women's basketball. East Stroudsburg State grad Nancy Roberts was named to replace Sandy Bloomberg as head coach. Bloomberg. like Bearde. lost her job to tenure. Roberts will be very busy this year as she wJll also be the head coach of the women's softball team, as former head coach Gay Meyers moves down to an assistant position. Roberts will also assist the women's tennis program. Another new head coach is Lew Partridge. who takes over the head women's tennis reigns from Bloomberg. Partridge. a fine player in his own right, was an assistant last year and was a natural choice for the head job this season. AD Reese told us that Charles "Chuck" Mattei will take over as head !across coach at Wilkes succeeding the departed Jon Hobrock. who according to sources, was "terminated" as coach. Mattei was head mentor of the Blue and Gold stickmen a few years back and should have no problem this spring. He will be assisted by Fred Lohman . Another assistant named for the fall was former Nanticoke Area head football coach Dan Distasio. who was appointed as an assistant defensive coach for football. And if the "out with the old , in with the new" coaching changes wer.e not enough. we encountered a "switch" during the off-season. Ernesto Lopez . last year's Wilkes asst. soccer coach, will be the head mentor this fall, and former head coach Kurt Hagman, will serve as his assistant. It seems Hagman will not have enough time to be a head coach with his new duties with WDAU-TV. where he serves as a sports reporter during the week and the head weekend sports broadcaster. Welcome Back! Eddie White III Patrick. Other key members of the team are freshman sensation of last season, Ken Pascoe; a now healthy Danny Thomas; senior Roger Davis ; juniors Ed Eppler and Vince D' Amato; and sophomore Lou Mucciolo who Righter says " could be the darkhorse of the team." Key freshmen are Steve Kovac, Bob Feldman and Kevin Cavanaugh. Overall, Righter feels " we will be surprising and I think by the Scranton meet we can be~t them." Another thing Righter would like to get across to the people of Wilkes is "I am a person that likes to win and none of the sports (basketball and cross country) will be shortchanged. I will devote as much time to both sports." SCHEDULE Sept. 15 King's and Delaware Vally (H) Sept. 19 Baptist Bible (H) Sept. 26 Scranton and Muhlenberg (Al Sept. 29 Phila.

It opens up this Saturday. Be There! In what should be a barn-burner for an opening game, the Colonels will host Delaware Valley College, which opened its season a week ago with a 30-0 triumpb over Washington and Lee. Meanwhile, the Blue and Gold took part in the annual scrimmage with Princeton University in New Jersey. Last season, Wilkes opened up 1978 with a 10-9 win over the Aggies in Doylestown. Last Saturday, Wilkes dropped a 22-21 decision to the Ivy League school in the scrim- mage after leading most of the way . Good news, Wilkes fans! The Colonels showed an offense Saturday led by quarterbacks Tom Cywinski and Mike Wilson. Many fans are wondering who will start at QB for the Colonels. Coach Schmidt has told the BEACON, Cywinski, a sophomore, will get the nod against Del Val. "Tommy started the last few games last season and we won our last three outings, so we'll go with him as a starter," stated Schmidt, who enters his 18th year at the helm of Wilkes. In the starting backfield with Cywinski will be tailback Joe Moran looks over his offensive line as it goes through drills. The Colonels open up this Saturday at home. <PHOTO BY MILLER) Open Saturday Carmen LoPresto, who was AllMAC last year· and could be AllAmerican this season, and senior fullback Paul Kotulak. Against Princeton the strongpoint of the whole Wilkes attack was as always the defense of coordinator Ed Lukas. The line was ferocious against the Division I Tigers, the linebackers were hard- . hitting while picking up two interceptions and the secondary was strong in spots. Newcomer Bill Lugiano, a senior transfer from Susquehanna University had one interception while senior Jim Martin, had the other on a brilliant one- handed intercept. Also impressive in the scrimmage was back Mark Hmelak, a sophomore transfer from, again, Susquehanna University. There is no truth to the rumor that SU has a plaque. Hmelak came in for LoPresto and did a fine job and tallied Wilkes first score. The Colonels second TD came on a oneyard plunge by Cywinski, whose nick-name is-" Deer-Hunter." Senior Mike Wilson showed he is a contender for the QB job by passing to always-ready and underrated Cliff Jones for the Wilkesmen's final score of the day. .MACJ>.review .

QB Kurt Schneider is expected to lead them this year along with back Julio Pellegrini, the leading rusher in 1978. Defense could be the weak point for the Lions and a team with a half-decent offense could have a field day against Albright. The Lions downed Wileks 24-6 a year ago at Ralston Field. Wilkes must now meet them in Reading in 1979 on Oct. 20. SUSQUEHANNA - Who wants to play for Susquehanna? It looks like . nobody.

Eddie White III Valley, came home following last year's football season in Selinsgrove. Bob Fessler will lead the defense for SU, while Tom O'Neil will guide the offense from his quarterback spot. DELAWARE VALLEY - This week's Wilkes College opponent. A preview is not really necessary, because you can see the Aggies for yourself this Saturday at Ralston Field at 1: 30. They do have a super defensive backfield (beware Tom Cywinski) and possess a better than average offense. MADISON FDU - Who? That's right, for the second straight year, the Jersey Devils are expected to be broken, and Wilkes should coast to an easy win on Oct. 13 for Homecoming at Ralston Field. Only in its sixth year of college football, FDU comes off a 1-8 season, _ but boasts 52 lettermen. Holy Cow!! ! Gene Dul will be the quarterback, while tight end Joe Memmolo shows good credentials.
