The enormously successful Huntley-Brinkley re ,port ran for almost 14 years and was heard nightly by an estimated audience of more than 20 million people. ~ased in Washington, Brmkley makes frequent trips in this country and abroad for firsthand reports on breaking new. He continues his reputation as tel e vision's ·ra vorite newsman which is due in part to his unique incisive style.

His lecture topic will include a view from the nation's ca pita I, America and World Politics and the world today. _Dr. Arno Penzias, cowmn~r of ~he Nobel Pr_ize for Physics m 1978, will be awarded an honorary doctorate at commencement exercis~s May 20. Senator John Hemz, the keynote speaker, will_ also receive- this degree durmg the 32nd annual commencement. . Penzias, along with colleagu_e Robert W. 'Yilson, received the Nobel prize for hi~ work in discove:in~ cosm 1c background radiation. He is Director of the Radio Research Laboratory at Bell Telephone Laboratories, which he joined in 1961. He has conducted research in radio astronomy, radio transmission satellite communications: and radio reception. In 1964 Penzias and Wilson were usi~g the most sensitive radio astronomy antenna available tG conduct research in radio astronomy and satellite . communications. Using the same techniques they em ployed to search the sky for radio noise sources that interfered with satellite communications, the two IDebaters Place Tenth 1·n Na.t1·on I ■-------•First Place for ·Roberts--------- . . Mem hers of the Deba te·Un10n recently returned from na tional competition with a tenth-place ranking and an individual_ first-place award. The P1 Delta Kappa Honorary Forensic Society's Tournam ent, held in St. Louis, Missouri, attracted some 119 colleges and universities from more than 33 states. More than 600 students entered the 31stannualcompetition which determined national winners in debate, extemporaneous speaking, oral interpretation of prose and poetry, inform ative discourse, entertainment speaking, and small group discussion. Winners were selected on the basis of their speaking skills and recei ved certifica te s of merit a nd a wards at t he banquet that closed the tourn a m e nt. D_a vida . Roberts earned a na t10nal first place award in e ntertainment speaking, outs co rin g 75 other competitors fr om acros s the country. She finished first in the preliminary rounds and received an almost perfect score in the finals. Theremainderof"Kinney's Kids (Colleen Gries and Jon Pliskin) teamed up w;!.~ Miss Roberts to bring ge.,eral r.,:-- · o_gnttion to Wilkes as the nation s tenth top school. The top 12 colleges are singled out for national recognition, based on tea_m points,. and all 11~ institut1onswere m the runnmg. Wilkes, although represented by one of the smallest delegations at the contest, still came away with a top ten ranking. The Pi Kappa Delta Honor Fraternity was organized morethan60yearsagotorecognize orators and debaters. The group has grown to in elude almost 400 chapters with over 50,000 m em hers. In order to be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper thirty-fifth percent of his class. Wilkes has been a m em her of the society for three years . "Kinney•s Kids" completed t~is season with an ini press1v_e record. :14'_orty-three troph1es, 11 certif1cates of excellence in speaking, a state championship, and two nation al awards were among the squad's accomplishments. The Union has extended its record of winning major awards in consecutive contests to 33--a streak it started in September 1976. Again this year the Union came away with a major vie- _ tory in every tournament entered, and aim ost broke last year's record for the most a wards in a single season However, as Dr. Kinney wa~ quick to note, only one veteran returned to the squad this year, and none will be lost to graduation in May. Dr. Bradford Kinney Davida Roberts sc~entis~s discovered that all a famt signal pervaded :!ii;;~t~lnoJi~:irh::;!l~~ three degrees a hove absolute zero--p~rsist~d. In addition, the noise signal never wavered from day to da¥ or ~easo!1 to season, thu~ markm~ itself as particularJy umque. . !3ecause the si~nal was so fa~nt ~nd pervasive,. the two scientists felt the noise could have any ~me of_a number of ~ource~, mcludmg th4: antenna 1_tself.. System a tic~lly ·~nd pamstakmgly, they e~1~!n.ated each of the poss1bil1ties. . . _Another scientist, Robert. Dicke,_ concurred that they had ~hscovered what he had predicted t? _be the ~a~kground r~~I~ tlon. rem ammg from the 1mtial b1_g bang that touc_h~d off the um verse some 20 bJJ~Jon ye3:rs ago.

Since that time, Penzias has been honored on several occasions for this and other contributions in cosmology. In 1976, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the Paris Observatory, be coming the first American to win that award. He is a m em her of the Na ti.o nal Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also is Visiting Lecturer, with rank of professor, at Princeton University; Adjunct Professor at the State University ofNewYork atStonyBrook, Long Island; and a Research Associate at Harvard University. He served as Vice Chairman of the Committee of Concerl)ed Scientists, a national organization devoted to working for the political freedom of scientists in countries where it is endangered. Penzias was born April 26, 1933, in Munich, Germany, to Karl and Justine Penzias. His first years in America were spen_t undramatically as an average student attending public schools in the Bronx, New York. Later on he demonstrated an · interest in science and mathematics, and as a teenager, he attended a specialized public school for outstanding boys--the Brooklyn Technical High School. In 1954, he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class at the City College of New York. After~erving two years in the U.S. Signal Corps as a radar officer, he undertook grad uate studies in physics at Columbia Uni versity. There he studied with Charles Townes, a Bell Laboratories consultant who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the maser. In 1962 Penzias received his Ph .D. in Physics. . Penzias, his wife and three children reside in Highland Park, New Jersey. �j;;h~;:::~•~:;:::ive T his past year has not been , one to boast a bout fo r St uden t Gove rnment.

Kirshner Appreciation Expressed To the Editor I am writing this letter to the entire student body, staff and administration of Wilkes College. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to a II of you for your ideas and guidence that have been so helpful to me over this past semester. Special thanks must go to the Student Government body itself, including: Commuter Council, Interdorm itory Council and our advisors Dean Hoover and Mrs. Barker. I would a !so like to wish Dave Blumfield, Bill Lewis, Mike Stapleton and the entire student body a very construc tive, productive and coopera tive year. Thank you very much, Steven B. Kirshner Eaton to Teach in Spain A member of the Wilkes faculty, Ms. Shirley Eaton, has been invited to teach in a summer program in Burgos, Spain. The program is sponsored by the California State University at Sacramento; courses in Spanish Civilization, Language and Literature will be taught at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In conjunction with the program in Burgos, CSUS has also organized a tour of southern and central Spain which should appeal to anyone who wants to travel. No spanish is necessary because all guides are bilingual. Ac<;ording to Ms. Eaton the first part of the To The Editor: In order to help students . trip includes many of outrent and sub-let apartments standing scenic and cultural for this summer a committee, attractions of southern and independent from the school central Spain. The second has been formed. We plan to part of the trip, however, is After traveling perform various other func - unique. tions next semester including throughout Spain for 15 days, contract, purchasing of food, a furniture committee, and social events.

Committee Formed each participant will be able to spend a week with a Spanish family to experience daily life in Spain as the Spaniards do. Another advantage of spending a week in Burgos, says Ms. Eaton, is that the city is small enough that one can get to know it fairly well in seven or eight days, although the wealth of artistic and architectural monuments from many periods cannot be completely taken in in so short a time. Anyone interested in this twenty-five day trip ( June 16 to July 9) should contact Ms . Eaton right away a text. 324 or 823-5608. Enrollment is limited, and deposits must be in by early April. Those who want to remain in Europe longer, an alternate return date of August 13, 1979 can be arranged at no extra charge. ... .J .J J J r--------------------------TV Trivia Beacon Staff Commended To The Editor: I was pleased to see this year's Beacon staff occasionally print information and editorials about controversial or "Touchy" subjects, a trend I sincerely hope will continue. If investigative reporting should happen to catch on, 1979-80 could be a very lively year. Good Luck! Shirley Eaton [Dept.of Language and Lit.] Phot.ograph~r-Cartoonist Bob Gaetano Advisor George Pawlush Finally, I still feel that everything that t ranspires at Student Government meetin~s should be a".'ailable, in pnnt, to the entire student body, staff, and other interested individuals. I however, especially appreciate your responce in this area. Whatlam saying here is just the way I feel and not from a journalistic perspective - that is your specialty .

This is the message which greeted well over 10,000 callers last year when they dialed 826-1135. The Connection is a 24-hour line that carries a two to five minute recording, and is maintained and updated periodically by the Public Relatio, f · The line has existed for a pproxim a tely three years. The equipment was originally given to the college by an anonymous donor. The connection was created, as Public Relations Director George _ Pawlush said, "to give something of service back to the community, as the communitv has contributed §Om CONNECTION UPDATED--Margaret Scholl, a Public Relations student employee, regularly updates the Wilkes College Connection.

If someone called the fam iliar number ( 826-1135), he would hear what is currently taking place on cam pus, along with a list of upcoming events. The connection carries the dates and times of art exhibits at the Sordoni and Conyngham galleries, along with plays, both student productions and others, that are scheduled for the C.P.A. Another important aspect of the Connection is its coverage of sports results and listing of upcoming athletic events. Sports updates are usually given by Bob Gaetano and Eddie White. The Connection receives, on the average, 250 to 300 calls each week. When the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament was held, the calls ranged near 600 to 750 calls over the weekend. "This high number of calls ca used a part of the Connection to malfunction, leaving the message line out of service for a short time," commented Pawlush. The same situation occured when the wrestlers traveled to Iowa State for nationals. As Pawlush concluded, "The Wilkes College Connection is an invaluable service to both the cam pus and comm unity. This fact has been proved time and time again." Margaret Scholl SULLIVAN&CO.

It's almost over! It's almost time to bid adieu to Wilkes College. It seems like an eternity, the time I've been here and now I'm ready to leave. Wait a second! Am I ready? Am I ready to leave all this? Can I leave all this? I am not ready. I am not ready to go out and face a real world after existing in this Magic Kingdom for so long. My mind is numbed from years in the valley. It's raining ( as usual). What a year. Late-night rushes to catch deadlines and get my drivel published. I hope you all have enjoyed my slices of craziness--!' ve tried to write something for everyone. I'd like to thank some of the people who have put up with my insanity and constant badgering for advice and ideas. thanks to "Mr. Mike" for bringing me down to earth when I floated in the clouds. Thanks to "Rocky" for the ideas in the clutch . Thanks to the "KING" for views from the outside and also to a "Doctor of English" and "Doctors of Biology." Thanks to "Dave" for the touch of the poet. Special thanks to my con stant companion, cruel nemesis, and alter-ego, D.A. Harris. As a last gesture of farewell to this comm unity, I would like to say good-bye to some of the little things that have affected me in some way during my tenure here. Good-bye to brown salads and oiled omelettes, hot-flashes in overheated buildings, and beer bashes in bad-odored basements. Good-bye_ to sore sphincters (for all reasons). Good-bye to Schmarties, Schmellies, Hainas (sic?) Dorm ies, Cut-throats, Burn-outs, Ozone Rangers, Preppies, and Shickshinnians. Good-bye to hour-long, t hree-hour exams and profs whose favorite reading is Marat Sade . Good-bye to 7 a.m . garbage trucks and 2 a.m. curfews. Good-bye to a party policy that tolerates all known drugs, but beer. Good-bye to "Never having to say I'm sorry that I didn't o to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale." Good-bye to tank-traps, subsidences, and a policy of Urban Renewal whose only rivals re the great Pyramids in the time and work involved. Good-ye to the Flood ( both of them). Good-bye to rubber-stamp advisors who talk much and advise little. Good-bye to never nowing what you got into, until it was too late. ( Maybe I should ave gone to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale.) The m_emories at Wilkes are long, sometimes fond, and colorul. I rem em her all the dates I didn't go on and all the not-too-ure "sure-things." I remember all the things I don't want to rem em her: the exams I'.ve studied for and la.t er failed and those exams I've never studied for and aced. I remember the "Vo Tech" feel that comes from going to Wilkes and I rem em her that urge to comm it Room icide( killing your roommate) when your rommate drives you to that edge with all those little ha bits. After all, picking feet can be most annoying. · I would like to say thank-yo to the institution that made it all possible and sometimes im possible--Wilkes College.

BobGaetano �Page 10, The Beacon, Ap r il 26, 1979 ttwttn t t by F.ddie Mite "Super,, Man Flies lints Here It's official. Next year's Wilkes College men's basketball team can · now be called "Super-men." Supermen? That's right! It was announced last week at a press conference at Weckesser Hall that Hartwick College asst. coach Joe Super will succeed Rodger Bearde as the headmen tor of the Blue and Gold. Although some papers in town are taking the credit for the scoop of the announcement that Super would be coach a few days before it became official, your BEACON had that info the week before their prediction. Super comes tO" Wilkes highly recommended and with good credentials. Here are some of the responses to the announcement: AD John Reese: "He's a good one, he'll help the program." Coach Bearde: "He is the guy I wanted to take over and I know he will make Wilkes a winner. We're lucky to get a man of his quality ." Joe Gries, veteran announcer : "His reputation of a great coach is impressive and he 's a great guy ." TV announcer Joe Zone: " He has a great name, but I hope his team turns out that way." The 31-year old Super, who served as an assistant at Hartwick the last two years under Nick Lam bros, says the Wilkes job is just what he wanted. "It's a chance to call yo ur own shots. I see Wilkes a s a chance to improve myself." When asked about his style, he commented, "As an assistant I had to bite m y lip . I co uld not express m y views. Now I ca n and I'm a fiery coach." Well that's nothing new around here, right Rodger? Super said he found out about the possible opening during last year's Colonel Classic in January, wh ich Hartwick downed Wilkes in the title game. "The possibil- ity of an opening came up during a conversation with Rodger and I. I know one thing we were treated on a first class basis during the tourney · and that really impressed our team and coaching staff. This tourney is quickly getting a great reputation among Eastern schools. This will be Super's first college head coaching job. He began his career as a JV coach in Oneonta, N.Y. He then moved on to be an assistant at Oenonta State and after a short stint there, he became asst. coach at Cortland State and his teams -had 13-9 and 10-13 seasons there. He took his first head coaching job at Hom er High School and in two years his squads were 11-8 and 10-8. He caught on with Hartwick in 1977. He has a wide athletic background and was at onetime an all-league receiver in the Empire Semi-Pro Football League in 1971. During his first days as coach, he made his first announcement, which came as no s urprise to an y one. Super stated that Kendall McNeil will se rve a .s the captain of the 1979-80 basketball team . THE BEACON wishes good luck to Coach Super and his team. Personal Note In my first year as sports editor of the Beacon I have needed much help. And from a certain group of dedicated people I have received it and more. I first have to thank all the writers who contributed to the page, especially the seniors . I have to single out our award-winning ph()tographer Bob Gaetano who has kept our pages filled with great action photos. In closing I would like to ask any of the under -cla ssm en interested in writing next year to contact me at the Beacon offic e the fi rst week of school next seme ster. Have a good summer! Women Suffer First Losses Women's softball team, now halfway thro u gh its third sea son, currently stands at4-2 after def ea ting Upsala but also dropping a double -header to Bloomsburg last week. Beaten in the early innings by Upsala last year, Wilkes turned the ta hies this time, and jumped to a 6-0 lead in the firstjIInin mare, as Wilkes blew an 11-1 lead and lost 13-12 in extra innings. Tl1e women of Coach Gav Meyers took a 4-0 in t he third-all on walks. They then scored seven in the fifth on hits from Kendig, Mary Jo Frail, Dreibelbis, McCarthy, and Deb Yedlock . Going into the bottom of the seventh with an 11-1 edge, the women chalked up one more victory and began looking ahead to the second game. Enter disaster. Three errors, six walks, four hits, and a controversial call by the plate ump allowed Bloom to score ten and tie the game, sending it into extra innings. Starter Jerry Ann Smith was pulled with the score 11-8, Frail pitched until it was tied, and Dreibelbis came in to record the third out. In the eighth Kendig singled horn e Deb Y edlock, who was on third thanks to a single by Bernie Swiderski. But Bloom also came up with runs under pressure, aided by an error and a passed ball. The winning run scored as Wilkes watched helplessly. Thesecondgamewasa battle, going 1-3 and 3-5 into the third(Bloom ahead). The Huskies ulled awa 9-4 in the t hird and added five in both t he fifth and sixth innings to ease into a 19-6 win. Wilkes, after winning four straight, dropped to 4-2. Six games remain on the schedu·le--one today with Marywood, one tomorrow with King's, and a Parents ' Day game Saturday with Susquehanna. All are at home. A double-header with Scranton at horn e Monday follows . With half the season gone by, Diane Kendig is leading the hatting race, with a .666 average( 16-24). She also leads in stolen bases with seven, rbi's with 12, and extra base hits with four, including two homeruns. Kathy McHale and Linda McCarthy are both hitting ata .500 clip, and Jackie Wiendl is batting .450. The team itself is batting .371 and is scoring 13.1 runs per game and 12.5 hits per game, while holding opponents to 9.6 runs and 6.5 hits. In the pitching department, Mary Jo Frail is 2-0, Jerry Ann Smith stands at 1-0, and Mary Lynne Dreibelbis is 1-2. Wilkes will end its season Thursday, May 3 at L.C.C.C . before entering a tournament, at Franklin & Marshall May 5. Wilma Hurst Diane Kendig led off with a walk, and then stole second before Mary Jean Farrell bunted her to third and made it to first herself. She stole second and Mary Lynne Drei-· belbis loaded the bases when . she also drew a base on balls. Jackie Wiendl continued to take advantage of Upsala's pitching, as her walk forced Kendig horn e . Lynn Yedlock also walked and Farrell scored before Deb Yedlock hit into a fiel d er's choice and Dreibelbis was snagged at the plate. Sa ndy Reisinger also walked before Li nda McCarthy cracked a singl e to r ight, allowin g two to score. Ellie Adams bunted safely and Kendig started the top of t he order off with another walk. Farre ll lined out and Dreibelbis flyed out to put Upsala out of its misery. Dreibelbis he ld Upsala' s batters until the fourth, when a series of errors helped six runners to score. Fortunately }lie Bl ue and· Gold had adde d three in the second inning on a hit by Debbie Yedlock and an at hat fo r Kendig that was scored as an error on the second baseman, but which allowed two to score. Upsa la came close to tying it up in the bottom of the seventh ( the last inning) when it led off with a si ngle a nd a walk. Jerry Ann Smith came on and wal ked the first batter before Kendig p ut ou t two when she fie ld ed a grounder to short, touched second for th e forceout, and threw to first to catch the runner.

In addition, I would appreciate a response, since much of this Jetter contains questions rather than sta tern ents. As president of Student Government I am displeased with what has been printed in the" weekly" Student Governmentarticlein The Beacon. I have found as a rule that Jess than half ;f what appears on my agenda actually makes The Beacon. Student.Government is the · maingoverningandorganizational body of, by, and for the students. The Beacon is Wilkes College's primary means of Jetting the students know what is going on and happening at the college. For that reason, an article should represent what happens as closely as possible. Also, the reporters should report what happens--not as they see it, rather as j t hap pe llii. Neither :~t ~~~:~~:~;~: ; ,·:~: ~~ ings have been averaging two to two-and-a-half hours. This time is spent on many areas, all of which pertain directly to the students of Wilkes College. Yet, more than twice, during this semester alone, an issue of The Beacon has been published and circulated without one word about Student Governmentorwhattranspired at the meetings. On severa I occasions when this happened I confronted Jim Edwards, the Managing Editor, as to why there was no Student Government article . His reply, was that The Beacon cannot print everything that it would like to . There is just not enough space and we do not have the funds to expand th·e paper beyond the "traditional 8 pages . He then added that on the list of priori ties, used to determine what gets printed when and where, Student Government holds its position on the bottom of the list.

The question I wish to pose is directed to both Dave and Bill. You both alluded to Student Government's "going down the tubes".. By the time you see this letter one· of you will have already won the presidency. I sincerely that the decision you both made, to run for the office of Student Government President, was not a spur of the moment one, rather that it took a long time of thought, consideration and various motivations. One of these motivations must have been for the betterment of the Wilkes College Student Goverriment. Why then, did you wait until now to speak up? Are the accusations you made against me sincere or are they merely campaign gimmicks?

During the summer m cinths the club recieved a second place award for achievement in the Bronze Division (less than 30 members) at the lnternational Circle · K Convention at Tampa, Florida. Wha t exactly is the Circle K Club and what did they do to deserve these awards? The club was chartered at Wilkes in 1962 making it one of the first Circle K Clubs in Pennsylvania. They are affilia ted and sponsered by the Kiwani s Club of Wilkes Barre. The club membership is o en to an one who has a desire to help humanity and who has the energy to work on community service projects. The only requirement is that the person take an active part in the functions of the club. There are 36 such clubs in Pennsylvania and they meet yearly in March. In August of each year there is an international meeting of all the clubs. Every three or four years the clubs decide on a theme on which to carry out their activities. The theme for• 1977 tbrough 1979 is "Embrace Humanity". Within this theme are five areas that clubs are required to concentrate their efforts. They are: association with the lonely, na tura I resources; health projects; volunteer services; and public safety.

At lea st they're going if not yet ~un,· . 11 ~,·,·111 ~ the two cage coaches lost their battle to tenure and will be replaced next season. But, let's not brush off the fine job done by these two dedicated men tors. Bearde has single-handidly brought the Wilkes men's basketball program back from hell the last few years and this season's edition showed much improvement from the past and the future wi.th all the promising underclassmen looks ver-y...bright. Bloom berg has also built a solid program, guiding the ladies to their first winning season ever a year ago and has brought in some top-notch lady ball-players to help the program. We wish Bearde and Bloom berg much luck in whatever they do and wher ever they go. Next year's basketball teams, no matter who the coach is, will be a part of them. Now, the hard part. The job of replacing Bearde and Bloom berg falls on AD John Reese. That's one job we would not want, he has to find the right people to keep the programs on the upswing. Reese told the BEACON that he has already interviewed some candidates for both positions and he will interview some · more this week ·and next. He hopes to announce the new coaches and h sical education teachers in two weeks . The first-priority is to get (he Phys. Ed teacher, but we feel it is important to get a good coach who is a ph ys. ed. teacher, than a teacher who happens to be a coach. Because, isn't mens and worn ens basketball more important than bowling or badmitton. According to a local paper, one top candidate for the men' s position has already been eliminated : That is Nanticoke Area's successful high sc hool coach Syl Bozinski, who ha s 499 career wins. Reese said Bozinski was naturally the school's num h er one choice, not only on hi s coaching ability, which is un questioned, but also his own great interest in the job. Bozinski, sources say, contacted Wilkes, the school did not ask him first. But, as always them ain problem with getting Bozinski to Wilkes was financial. To tell the truth, Bozinski "had it made" in Nanticoke and it would take a fortune to get him here. But there was a possibility of his early retirement benefits mixing with the Wilkes salary which would balance out. But all hope of getting the Trojan men tor to Wilkes came to an end on Saturday. According to Bozinski , it [fi· nancial worries] just could not work out. So, Reese has to serach through some other applicants and pick a "winner." Other "mentionable" candidates include: Hartwick assistant coach Joe Super, who many might remember from the Colonel Classic of which Hartwick was· in in January. With Bozinski gone, Su er has moved into the No. 1 spot and many feel the job is his. Some other candidates include Tom Finan of Hon esdal e High School, who has been very successful and form er St. Joseph's hoopster Ron Rider. Those two are ex· pected to be interviewed this week. The ladies job is also being worked on, but the names involved are hard to come by. The BEACON has learned of some , but they were given to us, "off the record" so we must com ply with our sources wishes. · But the good new s about all of this is, that something IS being done and w e will have two coaches next year and it seems both will be very go·o d ones, If we hear anything definite before the year ends, we'll let you know.

The new members of .the l l nion completed the regular season with 42"trophies and 11 certificates of excellence. Ine luded in this list is the first slate championship in Lincoin-Douglas d.e bate in 23 ye ars.

Dana Hall's water problem is aoparently solved, but the utility o·r organization responsible has not Leen identified. Andrew Shaw, -dean of internal affairs, explained the sequence of events that led to the repairing of the faulty sewer pipe last week: "I met with the Redevelopment Authority and PG&W on Wednesday to coordinate activitiesto see if the problem could be resolved. You have to un : derstand that therf' is a pro- pensiiy for looking at other people for reasons for the dam age. Redevelopment got Addy Asph<1-lt to come back on t hE' job and dig up the street to find the problem. "They worked until the job was finished and will bill whom ever was responsible for l he problem ."

Bill Tur:can In talking w'i-th the candidates after the meeting, Blum field cited his goals as SG president to prevent the financial problems SG has been having recently. He noted that a lot of clubs were affected by this and he would like to see this come to an end. Better communication· be tween SG, IDC , and CC was also cited on Blum field's list as a top priority, as well as sched ulin g soc'.ia) events with out conflicts. When asked for his im press ion of Student Government this year·, Blumfield said, "The major problem is the lack of leadership stemming from t he President." He stated that Kirshn er has trouble controlling me e tings, doesn' t attend many SG-related events, and he also feels that "new ideas are waning." He also feels that the SG evalua tions, which took a whole year to work on were a waste .of time. In conclusion Blufield stated that "last year's election was decided o.n.how much .campaigning wa~ done and not 'q ualifications." He feels students should decide on · a candidate for his merits, plat'. form and the debate. Bill Keba Whf;;n asked for Bill Keba's goals for next year he said he would like to increase them ot. iva tion in the SG body by introducing many new ideas and making the president's continued on p. 2 IDC Stapleton Sole Candidate For the second year in a ,row dent Gary Toc.z ylowski, Staonly one person was nomina • pleton has no com plaints exted for the office of Inter~ ~ept for the lack of coordina Dorm ilory cou._n cil president. · . tion between SG, IDC, and CC.

I a:m running for this office because I am Deeply concerned a bout the problems tha t face commuting students at Wil.kes . One of the most significant· of these problems is parking. Day after day, we are affected · · by the ' lack of adequate on-campus parking a_nd the high cost of private and municipal Jots. I believe that this problem could be resolv:ed.through initiating new p_rogram s in,_ cooperation with these m unicipal and private lots, aimed at keeping costs at a minim um . Also, I will work to ex pand oil-campus parking, fighting for more spaces and more pat king stickers. . ,Another area that is of concern to rne is to adequately provide for the, needs of the apartment dwellers at Wilkes. The view point of this group _ has been underrepresented · and I see the need for an organized group or office to help · the. students deal with such . things as apartment rental, sllb-leasing, tentailt .rights, • etc.I pledg.e that I will work to provide for those needs. · . Tbirdly, I see the very desperate need to enrich the social life around the College. ·I believe that the social activ- · ities should be represent.a tiv·e of all the wants of .all Wilkes students. Time and Eiriergy . must be devoted d.evelop new ideas and a vital · social to program must be stressed. · Final!, I want to make sure that your voice.is heard in de-• ~isions inv<?lving cam pus pol icy, I prom 1se that I will work for the best interests of all Wilkes students, in order to give you a better cam pus life . · Your vote and . support next T.uesday will be deeply appreciated. Your vote will be of great help tome in the election and it will also serve as an outstanding indication to everyone at this Coilege th-at you are tired of everyday commuter hassles and that you want a better campus life. Thank you, Bill Lewis SGReps Extend Thanks To The Editor: Class of '82! · As the newly elected SG representatives, we would like to . thank you •for your support a t,the recent election.

The only r un for the Blue and Gold came in t he fourth inn ing when with two out, junior Jim Morrissey, who is as tall as Johnny Bench, smashed a Royal delivery over the right-field fence for a 420-foot horn er.

Dana, 235 South Franklin Street, has had water pr oblems in t he pa st, but was faced with the most se rious problems Tu es day. According to Marion ?ones of maint~nance, the street collapsed, crushing a sewer pipe , and ma king it impossible for Dana resid_ents tc. use water for sanitary purposes or for bathmg. Water and sewage has been draining into the basem entof the dorm for the past week and majntenance men have been unplugging th~ sewer pipe every otb,er day, along with draining the basement. However, on Tuesday the pipe could not be unplugged, and Dana residents were told that they would be moved out of the dorm. The worn en quickly decorated the front of the building with signs that indicated their feelings. Among them were "PG&WWhere Are You," "Hell No We Won't Go, " "We Want Water," and "Fix Our Pipes. " An emergency dorm meeting was scheduled for Tuesday night, but was .cancelled when PG&W offie ia ls rev ea led that they would meet with the city Redevelopment Authority to decide who would fix the pip e. Ca th y Rowlands, a resident of Dana, stated that s he and Linda Price went to City Hall Wednesday morning and spoke with the mayor's secretary . She contacted the sewer department arid was told that it would repair the sewer line and "establish blame later," making whomever was responsible for the damage pay for r e pairs. The Beacon contacted several city departments , none of whom knew anything about the situation. Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company (PG&W) was then contacted, and The Beacon was told that a Mr . P etro ski knew everything about the situation. However, Petroski refused to d ev ulge any informat ion . SG Members Take No Action On Election Amendment A motion to a m e nd the Student Government constitution in order that any SG repre sentative may run for any office on SG, regardless of time served, was discussed at length at Monday's SG meeting. However, no vote was taken and the motion was ta bled for nex t yea r. Th e propo sa l, written by Joel Kane, read "To amend Visitation Day This Sunday "Wilke:; College Vi:;itatiuh Day," organized by the admissions staff, will take place this Sunday. According to Debra Bergen, Assistant Dean of Adm issions, Visitation Day gives those students who have been accepted to Wilkes, as well as their parents, t he opportu nity to bee om e better acquainted with the administrato r s, faculty, student body and cam pus facilities. The overall purpose of ·t his day to enable stud ents considering enteri ng Wilkes to learn more a bout their specific area of interest and tom eet those people at the co ll ege with whom they would be working-. Bergen stated that th e re are th ree different sched ul es or gan ized to run co ncurrently t hroughout the d ay. They are set u p for: 1.) Those who do not want financial aid. 2.) those who do not want lunch. 3. ) those who j ust want to tour t he cam pus . Furthermore, faculty tables will be set up in the library with r.eprese ntatives from each department available to talk with students interested in those areas. Student gro ups and organizatio ns wills.et up booths in SLC to familiarize prospective stud e nts with col lege activities. Th e Assistant Dean is look ing forward to a success ful day, as close to 700 people have made plans with the admissions office to attend . Reenic Corbett the constitution to provide a me ans for any Student Gov ernm entrepresenta tive to run for an office on Student Government, regardless of time served on Student Gov ernment. " As it is cu rrently written in the constitution, SG presidential nominees must "have served /I t least one term ." ( One term constitutes one full year.) The debate that then followed covered several areas. The need for experience was one issue cited. Thos e agai nst th e mo tio n argued that a full year's experience is necessary to fullfill the post, while those for stated that if the desire is t h ere to work on Student Gove rnm e n t, t h en a person should not be denied the opportu nity to run for the office. It was pointed out t ha t a student who wins the e lection this Thursday as a SG repre- · sen ta ti_ve , with no previous experience, cou ld then tur n and conceivably run for SG president and win. These students feel that t h e electio ns are ba sed upon a popularity contest, and t h e r efo r e t hi s particular candidate may not be well s uited for t h e job. There also seemed to be much amb iguity abo ut the writing of the ame ndment. Steve Kir s hner, SG president, feels t h at the term "a ny Student Government r eprese ntative" seems to imply that past SG r e pr esen tatives who were not currently on SG could also run for an office. Kane argued that an ex-representative is just that -- an ex -representative. A -ruling was a sked from the parliamentarian but was never given. The discussion co ntinued for several minutes and it was then de ci d e d that the motion should be ta bled and dis c uss ed at a later date. No vote was taken on the proposal ; howev e r, the genera Im ood of t h em eeting indicated it would hav e been d efeated b y a 2 to 1 margin. The purpose of the amendment was to widen the scope of possible candidates to run for SG president.

Residents of the dorm had been using facilities at both New Me n's Dorm and the gym while regular service was not available. The real storyJies in trying to determine just who is 'responsible for the problem, with no one willing to assume responsibility. Dana residents blame PG&W, claiming that only afte r the utility dug up the streets just before spring break did the problem beg in. Marion J on es stated that in hi s opinion st r eet paving was don e too quickly, b efore all conditions wer e right. Whether or not the red tape is ever untan g led, it is d e finite t ha t the problem is being resolved, and will probably be corrected by t he time th is issu e is pub lis h ed.

In other SG business, the academic committee reported that the booklets containing the results of the teacher evaluations will be out within the next week. Proceedings have also started for this semester's evaluation and only those professors who allow SG to come into the c lassroom will only be eva luated. There will be no eva luat ing outside the classroom.

Louis Czachor March 29, 1979, The Beacon, Page 3 - - - - C C King & Queen------, Commons Contest Listed Plans are underway for the Commons King and Queen contest. The Commuter Council is drawing up a list of qualifications based on last year's Commons Queen winner. If you didn't know there was a Commons Queen last year don't be surprised, the event was not very large then. CC is planning to have the King and Queen crowned with a Burger King crown and possibly serenaded by music majors. One of the possible prizes is dinner at the Commons. Details for nominations and voting will be decided ata futu-re CC meeting. The council discussed fur- ''Conversations with an Irish Rascal'' to Op.en April 5 "On March 20, 1964, Brendan Behan, housepainter, patriot, writer and drinker, fought and lost his last battle." These lines open and close a play that ~ill open at the Center for the Performing ,Arts next week. It seems a melancholy quote at beginning and end, but during the time between there will be a great deal of laughter and a few tears. The play is entitled "Conversations with an Irish Rascal" starring David Fendrick, and ' to the list of adjectives describing Behan, Rascal should be at least in the top three. Over and over again Fendrick demonstrates the typically Irish trait of finding humor in even the most t ragic circum stances and of being able to get a way with them ost bla t- ant irreverence. One quote from the script reads, "Ya know when St. Patrick banished the snakes from Oireland , he sent them ahl to America, where they ahl became cops or politicians." Tickets for students are $1 for the performances on April 5, at7:30p.m., and on April 7 at 2 p.m. All Wilkes students are admitted free except for the benefit performance on April 7. The evening performance on April 7, 8 p.m ., will have all proceeds go the American Diabetes Association, N .E. Chapters, and tickets for this performance will cost $3.00 For more information, contact either the American Diabetes Association or the Wilkes College Public Relations Office. ther plans for the proposed '60' s party. There is a possibiblity that the party will be held outdoors with drinks in the SUB. A guitar contest is one of the possible activities which are being considered for the party. A tentative date for the party is April 20. The majority · of this CC me eting was taken up with a discussion about the St. Pat's party. The co-chairman, Bill Miller and Sue Saerls, were congratulated for their effox;ts despite the many problem s which arose ( change of date and place). Tern pers got a little hot as CC and IDC argued over the amount of cooperation between the two organizations concerning the party. A proposal was mad e for full cooperation on futur e parties. Inspite of all the problems the party was deemed a success, · drawing a crowd of .410-450 people.

Of cu rrent Dorm Issues Joe Marchetti's position as _Ho11sing Director gives him excellent insight into many of the issues concerning Wilkes' students . Last week we took a look at some of the background involving Marchetti and his position. This week we'll examine his stand on some of these controversial issues. The first issue I discussed with Marchetti involves the Co-ed dorm proposal for Wilkes. He has "mixed feelings" on the proposal in that he suspects that it" may not be productive in _certain buildings,especia lly Pickering Hall ( New Men's Do-rm)." Marchetti bases this on his view of the building's structure which he feels would prove inadequate for a co-ed si-tua tion. He points to the amount of money which would be needed to make the necessary adjustments . An exam pie would be the bathrooms which Marchetti feels would have to be greatly "upgraded"- to meet co-ed requirements. In addition to the pltysical sh ortc om ings of such a proposal, Marchetti doubts that 90 girls could be found to participate in the program at this time. He recommends an outside woman's dorm be considered instead of Pickering. Marchetti advocates a "hard look be taken at what dorm stustudents really want before any decision can be made." As it is now.Pickering Hall presents the most headaches. "It's poorly designed in terms of living environment,"Marchetti comments,"it was designed basically for looks rather than practical living." "Also, the nine separate halls tend to act as nine separate units, and people tend to a's- socia te degree of quietness with floor level." In all, dormitories provide the Housing Office with an ongoing problem. In light of the fact that dorm enrollment is down this year, an attempt is being made to upgrade facilities in the hope of attracting students. The old buildings are no longer feasible according to Marchetti. Pointing out that these buildings are "horrible on utilities" he sees the college eventually ·g~tting rid of three or four dorms. When Marchetti com es across _ a mainten~_nce problem, either in New Men's or in an outside dorm, the first step is .to examine the situation and ask what's causing it. Most of the time the problem is in a men's dorm. There are two major culprits behind these problems. The first, and hardest to understand, is vandalism . The second simply involves "things wearing out." "The facilities are overused," says Marchetti,"much of the equipment is not suitable for the .dorm set-up." He finds it ironic that in light ofthefactthatthesefacilities are badly worn,m any of the occupants are very , reluctant to move out. Marchetti points out Denison Hall, which will eventually have to be phased out, as an exam pie of this irony. Finally, in discussing the . Fraternitv idea, Marchetti thinks it ~hould be investigated if it will serve a worthwhile purpose. The overall "educational " aspects of such a proposal must be studied. He, like most everyone else, sees certain resemblances to fraternities already existing on cam pus. It's not hard to understand why Joe _Marchetti is the seventh Housing Director in the last ten years. Ulcers and headaches are a common part of the job. But it also presents a challenge and the oppurtunity to work closely with students. It's this aspect that makes all the headaches and ulcers worthwhile .... right Joe?

Pizza and beer will be served ...... TOGA .. .. ... TOGA! ......... TOGA! .... . ■---Noticee--- e. Most students play by the rules when placing a long distance call. They take advantage of bargain rates and make their calls during the discount periods. If you're not sure when you can call at discount rates, check your phone book. A few students think it's OK to break the rules by stealing their telephone calls. They're not beat- · ing the system they're taking advantage of all of us, because it drives up the cost of providing telephone service. Students who break the rules aiso run the risk of paying a large fine. Spending time in jail. And getting themselves a permanent police record. It's just not worth it! - @ Bell of Pennsylvania on Sundays thro·ughout April, about 70 groups across t he nation will observe " P eace Sunday."

The games 'sho uld be clos e t his yea r , and with t he ta lente d c l u b that ne w co a c h Da ve Ka sc hak h as, t h e Wilkesm e n s hould co me out on top in most of the encounters . 1 The Blue and Gold will open the year with a d ~rn blehea der on Tuesday at 2: 00 at Artillery Park with the Royals of Scranton University . Last season, Scranton was one of the few teams to defeat Wilkes, upsetting the Colonels at horn e 7-6 in a nite-cap of a twin-bill which saw Wilkes take the opener 13-1. In the upset loss to Gary Wooder's Royals, Wilkes had the misfortune to be involved in a TRIPLE PLAY, on ·the wrong side. But, that was last year! · Two days after opening the year with Scranton·, Wilkes will host Moravian in a 2: 00 single game on Thursday and then travel to Selinsgrove on Saturday for its first MAC Northern Division We·st Section games, when Wilkes takes on Susquehanna University in a 1: 00 twin bill. The Scranton game will count ilt the Metro Intercollegiate Conference standings, sponsored by WBRE . Expected to hurl in the openers are junior 8topper Carl DeFelice, the chief of the staff and freshman newcomer John Bromfield, who has pitched well in the pre-season '. The Susquehanna encounters could be crucial, for each team , plays only eight league games ( Four doubleheaders) and an early loss or two could knock you out of the playoffs. For those of you who are positive thinkers, the MAC Playoffs are scheduled for May 12 and the NCAA Regionals on May 24-26. A run down, by position on the Colonels this year, follows : PITCHERS: Leading the pack is junior DeFelice, from Mifflin ville, Pa. Carl was 3-0 a year ago with a 1.85 era and 35 strikeouts in 39 innings. He also fielded his position well at a .922 clip with only one error. As we said earlier, Bromfield, who is known for his concerts, has impressed everyone in pre-season and will be the No . 2man, especially with the unknown status of Randy- McHenry, the s ophomore who had a banner freshman year last s eason. Dave Taylor, a freshman from Shamokin ha s a !so been impressive in the early going and co uld turn out .t o be the No. 3 man . Other fr eshman hopefuls in clude: Jim Ralph McGuiness, Ste ve Swanson and Tony Vlahovic. Jim Kearn ey, a form er Coughlin standout, will also.be co unted on highly thi s- year. The sophomore was ve r y effecti,v e in relief last year with three saves and a 2.57 e ra. George Ka vulich and Dan Pisarcik will probably be used as middle inning men, or long relief. "George and Danny might be the keys th i s year to our succes s ," says Kaschak. In s ummary, gone is the Stehles and the Kreskys, butonth e horizonisthenewfaces-theDeFelices, the Brom fields , tlie Taylor s . This could be the start of a pitching mainstay in the Wilkes attack. Pitching coach Jerry Ba vitz ism ore pleased than anybody with the potential of his corp. First-base: Chick, Chick, Chick . What can you say? When you talk a bout first base at Wilkes , you t a lk a boutsophom or _e Chick Andrewsca vage, whom ight be the best hitter on the team right now . The former Pittsto? A;rea _Patriot, earned all-league honors last sprmg m his freshman year and will be the top rbi man for Wilkes this spring with the graduation of Ken Sue hoski and Lou , Elefante . Last season, Chick batted .340 with 34 h its, 26 ru nsscored,31rbi'sa n dfourhom ers. Ba c ki n g u p And r e ws cavage will b e s u p e r- s u b Ri c h Borofski , who can ea sily deli ver a pin ch-hit o r add gr e at de fe nse coming off the ben c h. Borofski is a Tony Taylor type ball player - who will do anything to win and help the team . Ken Rodick, who shows a good bat at the plate, and , freshman Pat Rom ich, will also see some action a tfirst base. Kearney, when not pitching can also . hold down first. ,... Second-Base: Gone is Terry Schoen. There is no way, Wilkes will replace him this year. But Rick Marshall is sure going to try. Marshall will start the year at second, but will be pressured to keep the job from some talented people behind him. Rick stepped in last spring when Schoen was out for a few g a mes, and did a super job. George Carey and freshman Chris DaRe will be pushing Marshall for the keystone position and don't be surprised to see Dave Hungarter stick his head in there somewhere for a position to start. Short-stop: It's a coin-flip here, with junior Gary Capece challenging Hungarter, who can , play anywhere. Capece sat behind Bill Hockenbury the last two ye&rs and many feel his rifle arm will give him the job, but Hungarter played short in high school and in legion under Bob Gibbon and this could be a dog-fight to see who starts. Third-Base: The hot corner will be held down by cool Phil Marino, from Hoban. Marino is a 5-11 junior, who was the second leading hitter last spring with a .418 average, and showed some power with five homers and 22 rbi's. Marino earned all-MAC honors last year for his efforts. Challenging Marino will be Jim Adams and, you guessed it, Hungarter. Catcher: Now, we have a real live coin-flip. Nobody knows who will be No. 1 here. All we can give you right now is the list of cnadida tes: Jim Adams, Bob Brezenski, Jim Morrissey, Chris Reilly, Pat Romich and Wayne Yankosky. Left-field: Left-field belongs to ~he Snake, as in Steve Snake Grasley. Grasley is the best defensive left-fielder in recent Wilkes history and will be an added plus in the outfield. He can also be used on them ound, and with the big question mark hanging·over the Wilkes pitching corp, Wilkes fans just might ~ee Steve Grasley on the mound this year. Challenging Gra·sley' will be sop horn ores Jerry The Bull Antosh and Carmen Meatball LoPresto. Both have good ha ts and are average fielders. · Center-field: Ka vulich can be the starter here, or veteran defensive player Dave Korba. Mark Drobi s h and Vince Fama 'c an also be counted on to see action in center. Right-field: It looks like right field will belong to Bob Brezenski, for now . He might be moved into catcher. Brezenski is a hea'dsy ball-player who knows the game very well. He will be challenged by Morrissey, who can also play the outfield and Antosh and LoPresto and freshman Rob Luby. So, that' s the run down on the 1979 Wilke s Coll e·ge baseball team. It all goes for notliing come April 3, when the real story begins. ~~!}fJ:~:?i?JtiiCAPTAJNSA=1I=U=p=-=I=n=._=s==m=o=k=e=F=_=i=n=a=ll=y=W=1=· n=s=1~t~dd~ie~Wh;;;itell the semester's ~igh thr~eHead football coach Rollie ga me tea m total m sweepmg Schmidt announced this week Leo Durocher once said, the 752 Crew . that four seniors will serve as "nice guys finish last."

The Wilkes College lacrosse team and coach Jon Hobrock are anxiously awaiting the start of their 1979 ca mpaign which is scheduled to open this Saturday with Dickinson College at 2 p.m. La st year the Colonels clobbered the Carisle tea,m by a decisive 17-6 score. The Dickinson encounter is the first MAC -game and marks the first of a ten-match slate, which includes seven league games. Things look bright for the stickm en, as they posted a 4-4 MAC mark and 5-6 overall slate in last season's competi- tion. FDU Madison downed Wilkes 8-6 a year ago, but will not participate in the MAC this year although they re main on the sched ule . Anyone who has not seen a lacrosse game should try to make it to Saturday's game. "I have never seen a lacrosse game and I do not know what it is" scream many p~ople . However, once you attend and observe the vigorous action, you are hooked . The players a t tempt to score goals by throwing or kicking a small, ha rd-rubber ball with sticks t hat hav e nets on one end. The m ·ost e x c iting aspect for th e spec t ato r is t he constan t r unni ng a nd body contact JON HOBROCK which takes place on the 110 yard field, which is 60 yards wide. There are 10 players on the field at one time for each team and the Blue and Go.Id forces are supposed to have excellent reserves this spring. Nine returning lettermen, fifteen high-caliber freshmen and two fine transfers are expected to form the base of this year's squad . Among the lettermen are junior Bill Adams and senior Brian Blesi, both from Bethpage, N.Y. Adams led al) Blue and Gold scorers last season with 28 goals and nine assists overall. Adams tallied 23 goals in MAC action and handea out eight assists to be t he .second highest scorer in the league and become an all-star select ion. Blesi had five goals and 11 assis.;s in the MAC and totaled six and 13 overall respectively. Joe Burnett, a junior from Vestal, N.Y. ; will also bolster the strong offensive attack, as he registered 11 goals and eight overall assists last year. Lost through graduation or other, were Bruce Davis, the second leading Wilkes scorer a year ago ; Wayne Krum; Greg Wild; Doug Price; Bernie Donachie; Billy Abrams ; Bruce Douglas; Jim O'Neil and J o.hn Lack. Returnees who are attempting to fill the vacancies include: soph Dave Singer, senior Bob Taylor, . junior Tom Heller, senior John Larkin, soph Todd Noll, and junior Mark Sanders . Junior Bob Ma tzelle and junior Pete Canine are two fine transfers who should see a lot of action this year.

Due to a earty pre s s time, we could not bring team . Captains for the spring are you the score, but coach Doris Karen Po lorn ski, a senior from Bricktown, N .J. and Amy Gordon, a junior from Wysox, Pa. Other re turni ng letterwomen are Karen Burkley, Diane Brodbeck, Sharon Knight, Mary Kay Price, Cindy Rossi, and Pam Snyder. Early season practices for the ladies were highlighted by the appearance of Scott Mose, the coach of the 1976 United States Olympie Volleyball team, who conducted a clinic. According to Coach Saracino, "The team has shown much improvement this year due ma inly to the clinic and the hard work in pre-season. We had 34 girls trying out for the t eam and I reallyhate to cut anyone but, I can only keep 20 for both the varsity and junior varsity teams. This year marks the last time the worn en will be playing in the spring. Most of the teams, the Colonelettes play have moved their seasons to the fall, forcing the Wilkes team todothesame.But, as the coach adds, " This c·hange is actually going to help us becuase we will be playing back to back seasons this spring and next fall. We won't be losing many girls, so the team will be pretty much the same." Expected to be ace spikers t his season are: Amy Gordon and Cindy Rossi. Other players expected to contribute are Ni na Nubani, Marcia Prus ka w'ski, Terry Roof, Debbie Ryan, and Lynn Arlauskas. New people on the team this spring are Sara Farley , a sophomore transfer, and Cathy Dudick, a freshman from G.A.R. They will host the Alumni on April 1, at 1, before traveling to take on L.C.C.C. at 7 on April 3. Perry Lichtinger Doris Saracino _________. BRIAN BLESI Tourney in Tampa, Fla·. were freshmen. Rich Modica of Bethpage tallied nine goals 'and two assists, while Bryan Savage registered five tallies and three assists, In the tourney, Wilkes garnered two victories and dropped one. In the opener, Wilkes lost a slim 7-6 verdict to R.I.T. in the rain . They came back to hammer Swarthmore 13-2 and dump previously undefeated Alfred College by a hard fought8-7 count." AlthouR'h Bird Gets Wings Clipped!! ~ by €ddie White IInts If you took our advice of last week and bet your house on DePaul, we're sorry. You can come stay in the Beacon Office. The Blue Demons of Coach Ray Meyer dropped a two· point decision to the most over-rated team in country in Indiana State. In th·e other semifinal, Michigan State had an easy time with Penn, which set up the Magic vs. Bird hype. This past Monday, the Spar• tans of Coach Jud Heathcote took the national title by trouncing the Sycamores and breaking the wing of Larry Bird. . As we said last week and as Magic Johnson proved, the 6-7 s~phom ore from East Lansing is the best passer in the . game and Bird is far behind. Bird and his team had it easy all year while playing beer-league teams and finally ran into some tough competition in the NCAA Tournament, although they were seeded No . 1 in the weakest regional. The two tough games the " Sickamores" played were against Sidney Moncreif and Arkanas, where the Bird and Co.bombed by a whole TWO POINTS. The next outing, put the Indiana team against DePaul, wliich possesses t he best freshman in the country in Mark Aguirre and the best coach in NCAA history, Ry Meyer. The Demons will be back next year, something that can't be said for the Sycamores. Indiana State again beat a top-rated team, this time with a bombing of again TWO POINTS. What a powerhouse? DePaul took the consolation game before the title game on Monda y and captured third place, and if the Sycamores and the Blue Demons would meet again, it would be a different story. So, the NCAA's are over, and so is the great basketball history at Indiana State - they can go back to being an alsoran and continue playing no-· bodies. As far as their fans go, which many were just on for the ride and if you asked the Indiana State fans to name three of their starters four weeks ago, they would have trouble·. 1 We will eat crow for picking DePaul to win it all, but we will · enjoy the success of magic and his gang of Champions. For the Indiana state fans, they do not have to eat crow for losing to the Spartans in the title game, they can just eat the "Bird." we have a big influx of new players, I do not think it will be a rebuilding year, because the frosh appear to have made a smooth transition," noted Hobroc k. Also helping the lacrossemen prepare for the season is defensive asst. Bill MacArthur. Looking ahead, Wilkes will attempt to avenge a 10-6 loss to Lehigh University, on Wed., April 4 at 3 at Raison Field. The Lehigh contest does not count towards MAC standings and Hobrock plans to continue playing bigger schools so the cali ber at Wilkes will increase. Other MAC squads on the schedule are Gettysburg, Haverford, Muhlenberg Western Maryland , Lebanon Valley, and Franklin and Marshall. STICK 'EMS: ... Mark Sanders won 145 overall fave offs last year ... dave "Singer Saves" kept 134 potential goals out of the nets last year as a frosh to .be fourth in the MAC .... Bruc e Davis tallied most goals in one game last year · seven, which was complimented with two assists vs. Haverford ... P.S.: WE will be watching for the "unmentioned" 1 freshmen to prove them selves and welcome them the print when they .do ... GOOD LUCK!!!

Room & Board $100 $ 1200 Next year's students will be faced with a $300 increase in the annual tuition rate and a $100 increase in room and board. This action has recently been approved by the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. As a result, tuition for 1979-80 will be $32!:i0 while room and board will cost $1700. In a letter to students and parents President Ca pin stated, "I am sure that you are a ware of the financial pressures faced by all institutions of higher learning as a result of continued inflation and the rising costs of operation. "We have a ttem pteo to keep our increase as sm aTI as possible to a void hardship on our students and parents while at the same time recognizing the need tom eet thos·e expenses necessary to provide the highest quality of education at Wilkes College.

Th_e_MI~AA removed th_e $25,000 family income ceiling as a quahfi cat10n for federal rnterest subsidy in the Guaranteed Loan Program. · Consequently, any student may now receive a Guaranteed Loan; the Federal Government will pay all the interest on that loa n while one is a student and for nine months after a student gr a duates or withdraws, regardless of family income.

"A RoastTo Toast Art Hoover" is what it's called and this testimo nial banquet honoring Arthur J. Hoover is slated for the Gus Genetti Motor Inn on Friday, March 30, 1979. Deadline for ticket reser.vations is March 20. Hoover, a native of Glen Lyon, since joining the college in 1955 has served in a variety of capacities including business education faculty m em her, director of financial aid, student activities advisor, alumni relations and cummunity affairs director. He now holds the position of assiciate dean of student affairs.The Dean graduated from Wilke§ in 1955 and then went on to r eceive his M.EJ;>. from Penn State University. He also has additional gradua te credits at Leh ig h University and Penn State. "U ncle Art," a nickname coined by form er wrestling great Lon Bal um, fits Mr. Hoover we 11. He loves his work as associate dean of student affairs beca use of its close association with t he under each of the college's three pr'esiden ts, (about 28 years). Fifteen of those years were spent living on campus. One memory Hoover has is of watching Dr. Farley , Wilkes' first president, stop students from walking down the street holding hands. "Students are a reflection of the times but, I wouldn't say that they have changed much ." He adds, "I am a great believer of people reaching their goals. Over the years I have noticed that the biggest problem students have had is a lack of selfconfidence. They sell them selves short, they don't believe in their own a hilities." Art Hoover concerns of students. Hoover states, "The student is the focal point of this institution. We are inte rested in develop ing each stu.dent to reach his or her potential. · Every person has .within them some worth or value. Of course, its harder to getotitofsome than it is others out, the effort spent iswellworththerewards." Mr. _Hoover has been here long enough .to have served Theobald, Gries, Glunk Elected Class Preside·nts ~ue Theobald, Colleen Gries, and Dave G)unk were elected class pre~1dents ~or theclassesof1980, 81,and 82 respectively in voting last Tu~sday • . · , 1:heo~ald and Gr_1es defeated rncu~bentcand1dates, and Glunk _1s also a newcomer to the office. For the class of 1980, a good voter turnout of 153 helped Theobald win big over Jim Martin, 83-54. Barry Williams won easily over Da.ve Samsel and Joel Kane in the VP ra ce. The biggest vote-getter of the class of 1980wasKathyTyahla,who earned 100 votes to the 48 garnered by Eddie White III in the race for secretary_ The closest election in the class was for treasurer. Dave Rash, who put up a tough campaign, couldn't gather enough votes to defeat incumbentDonnaGrontkowski: The difference was seven votes. In the class of 1981, Colleen Gries won easily over incumbentPatMcNamara, Marla Brodsky , and Carol Benek. Tom McDonald again was elected vice president, defeating Norm Witko. Margaret Scholl and Bill Miller won the races for sec retary and treasurer over opponents Donna Fitt and Barb Landis. Nest year's junior class wil have th ree commuters in office, which is an unusual situation. Dave Glunk emerged as the winner of the class of 1982' s presidential race, finishing in front of five other candidates. Th e "also-rans" were Roya Fahmy, James Bell, Al Wirkman,JohnWischhusen,and John Ziminski. • Pat Murnin was elected vice president over Rich Cassidy, Laura Danowski, J essica Kwiatkowski, and Bob Lash- cock. SueTomalis, the bigge st vote-getter of the entire election, won th¢ class secretary race over- Theresa Gabana with 102 Steve Voyce was elected class' treasurer, winningov'~r.M1miKikitchura and Donna Newlin. · Jini Edwards · ··L· · ■, ·st. e · votes.: Registration Schedul·e· SENIORS-Class of 1980 Pre-registration April 2 & 3.

Another more recent concern that has Mr. Hoover worried about students is class cutting. _"There is definitely a correla t1on between missing class and grade performance. I'm aware of t he complaints students ha ve in regard s to some teachers bu t, it's a matter of self-disclipine on the part of the student. The students and their ))arents are paying quite a lot of money to receive a good education but it's being wasted by not at tending class." _S peaki!)g of. com plaints and c riticism the Dean put forth this comment,"Hey, I don't ~ ind criticism, its part of my Job to deal with it. Criticism is -necessary for improvement and I'm ready to listen to anyone who has criticism. I'll ne ve r condemn anyone for criticizing me or this institution as long as they have a positive alternative a va ila hie." · 'Tm really honored and flattered about the Roast and I'm sure it will turn out to be great fun for all who attend." "Uncle Art" finished by saying, "This work is my life. I guess I've b_een here as long as most others. I'll hold on to all them em ories, both good and bad, for the rest of my life ."

Housing Director Joe Marchetti, when approached with the issue would not comment on the probability of Co-ed dorms. He did say that the issue was still under careful study by the administration and added that another student questionnaire will be conducted by the Deans Council addressing Co-ed housing before the semester ends. · The Jong awaited St. Pat's party is to be held ·this Friday night in the Hotel Sterling lobby and balcony. The band will be "Eastbound" (formerly known as B.B. King) and there will be a cash bar serving both liquor and beer. Prices reportedly will be reasonable, but there will-be a $1 cover charge at the door.

Tony Lillis ! St. Pat,s Party Tomorrow l I The Commuter Council and the Inter-Dormitory Council will hold a St. Patrick's Day Party tomorrow, March 23, from 9-1: 00 at the Sterling Hotel. There will be munchies (chips, pretzels, dip, pizza squares and a _ cash bar). Music will be furnished by Eastbound with dancing in the lobby . Admission price is $1. The council stated that the party was changed from its original time and place due to the fact, that the American Legion cancelled out less than a week before. The reason for the cancellation was cited as being the Legion's unwillingness to have underage students drinking in their establishment, which could result in a loss of their liquor liscense. This last minute cancellation did not give the council much time to find anotherplacetoholdtheparty or a band to play at it. CC plans to send a letter of ·protest to the Park and Lock regarding the Parking Authority's recent proposal to do away with daily rates and .have monthly rates only. The council feels that the proposal is unfair to the students who do not use the facility everyday. A proposal was suggested to hold a Commons Queen contest in the near future. The contest will involve voting, judging, a crowning ceremony, and prizes. From the tentative plans the contest seems to be a spoof and should turn out to be enjoy a hie and memorable. Plans have also been set in motion for a '60's party. Based on the '50's parties of the past the '60's party will feature Student Awards Luncheon Scheduled for April 19 The annual Student Awards Luncheon will be held Thursday, April 19, 11: 15 a.m. in the lounge of the ,Doroty Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. According to Art Hoov-er, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, the purpose of the luncheon is to recognize those students who have distinguished them selves both in and out of the classroom. This luncheo·n also serves as the' needed vehicle to recognize students in the freshman thr_ough senior classes. Although all awards are published in the Commencement program, the only a wards to be made at Comm enc em ent include the Alumni award for Leadership, · the Dean's Awards, and three divisional awards. Hoover noted . that .a memorandum went out on March 15 to all department ch~irpersons, a_dm~nistrativ_e officers, organ1zat10n pres1- dents and special presenters concerning their selection for these a wards. Decisions should be made and submitted . to Dean Hoover by April 12. Some of the a wards to be presented include: Who's Who; Male and female Beacon athletes; departmental a wards; IDC a wards; SG appreciation award; and others. Dean Hoover is chairman of the luncheon, while other speakers will be President Capin and Dean Ralston. · Reenie Corbett i ♦ ♦ : KEEFER'S ARMYand NAVY STORE Clubs Help WVIA 2-70Wyoming Avenue-Kingston YOUR DENIM SUPER MARKET HEADQUARTERS FOR , t ♦ ♦• : ♦ ♦• ♦.---- •♦ LEE-lEVI & WRANGLER·JEANS ♦ ♦ ♦• ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ : ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ Two instrumental recitals are scheduled for this weekend at thil Dorothy Dickson Darte Gies Recital Hall.

A suggestion was made that CC sponsor a volleyball tournamentinvolving commuters and resident students. The idea behind the tournament is to get the commuters and res idents involved and to provide a tension reliever at this "Hectic" time of the school year. Tom Brooks proposed that CC talk about what action can be taken to a void the conflicts in the scheduling of student activities at Wilkes. The council agreed that the issue would be taken up at a later date.

He's - the guy in charge of handing out detention and making sure no one smoked in the bathrooms. Well, sometimes Joe Marchetti,Director of Housing feels the com paTison made between him and that unlovable vice-principal is far too close for his liking. "It's mostly Freshmen and Sophorri ores who draw this analogy"he says,"once students find out our real function they let their guard down and view us differently." By us,Marchetti is referring to Jeanne Conway (better known as M.C.) assistant director of Housing with whom Joe shares much of his responsibility. M.C.is retiring June 1st and Joe realizes thii great amount of work which will be created by her abs en se, Obviously she has done an outstanding job during her ten years at Wilkes. Getting back to the "viceprincipal" thing, Marchetti would rather people look on him as one who can help them out with housing ... or any problem they may have.

"I'll last to the end of the day," says Marchetti, "then I'll take tomorrow in stride." · Ed Van Buren with students." One of the biggest reasons for this direct contact has to do with the location of the Housing office right outside the cafeteria. Marchetti considers this direct contact to be unique among colleges. However it does lead to one consequence in that students often view thP office as a "ready-made Complaint Department" of anything from poor food to tough courses. "Although we are Directors of Hotising,"says Marchetti, "we are open to supply any information that people seek. We act on any com plaint we get( within reason) ." When a-cting on a com plaint the office attempts to follow a channel route which goes from the student to his or her RAtoMarchettiwhoifnecessary takes the complaint to Dean Ralston and ultimately President Ca pin. Joe encourages students to use these channels when a com plaint arises.

He then shook the hands of all his players and then he hugged them a s if they were all his sons. He then em braced his long-time friend and rival AI.McGuire, the greatest color-man bas~etball has today, pro or college. He, is 65-year old Ray Meyer, the coach of the DePaul Blue Demons the last 37 years. , For the first time in his long illustrious career, Ray Meyer will take his team to them agic "Final Four" i~ the NCAA ba s ketball championships, called by some as the greatest sporting event in America. De Paul will join other surprise entires Indiana State, Michigan State and Cinderella herself, Penn in the finals this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. On sight, Meyer seems to be a cross between General Patton and Santa Claus. At one minute he is the disciplinarian drawing respect from his players, and then he his as lovable and cuddly as Kermit the Frog, drawing love from his players and giving all he has. He's a remakable man, this Ray Meyer. He has taken his team from an early season also-ran and made it into one of the top teams in the 11.ftion. · Ray Meyer and his Blue Demons are only one fourth of the final four, here are the others: · INDIANA STATE -the Sycamores are the "Penn St. gridmen of college basketball" for they play a weak schedule like Paterno's Lions. The only top-notch team the Sycs have met was Arkansas and Sidney Moncrief, which they downed by two-points oh a buzzer-shot. Coach Bill Hodges does have Larry Bird, everybody's MVP in college basketball, but one man does not a team make. And don't let their undefeated record mislead you. Anyoll'e can go undefeated playing Ball St., Morris Harvey, and Va. Tech. Al McGuire says start your season with Cupcake U. to get it rolling, but not every game. Because of Indiana State's weak schedule and_the class and emotion of Ray Meyer, we like DePaul over the Sycamores by possibly as many as eight or ten. In the other game it will be "magic" against "miracle". MICHIGAN STATE -The Spartans are led by thee best passer in the country Earvin Johnson [are you listening Bird _ watchers] and Greg Keiser, who can score 30 points without looking. The Spartans peaked last week in the demolishing of the one e-grea t Notre Dame fighting Irish, who have problems playing without a coach. Coach Jud Heathcote has a tremendous "Dynamic Duo" and many feel no one will stop Michigan State from winning it all. PENNSYLVANIA - Standing in the way of the Spartans is miracle Penn, which has come out of nowhere to capture the hearts of every basketball fan from the Mississippi to the Atlantic Oc .e an. Penn has given the Ivy League the most exposure it has had since the days of Dollar Bill Bradley at Princeton. The Quakers of second-year coach Bob Weinbauer made it to the Final Four by downing, get this, Iona, North Carolina, Syracuse and a tough St. John's team. That's a season right there. And as far as Penn i-s concerned, the PRICE is right, as in Ivy MVP Tony Price, a sure first-round pick int he NBA next year. As the Easterners that we are, we would like to see Penn down the Magic Show from East Lansing, but forget it, even Cinderella lost her shoe once. Look for the Spartans to nip the Quakers by a basket at the buzzer when Johnson passes alleyopp to Keiser for a "In-Your-Face" slam. So, now we have a title game of DePaul and Michigan State, which has the makings of a rout. Many cage experts would feel that the Spartans would have an easy time with the small school from Chicago. But, not us. We feel Meyer's emotion and intensity will carry the Blue Demons and freshman Mark Aguire to the title. Look for Aguire, at 6-7 the best frosh-in the countr y , to control the game and silence Johnson. DePaul will win the NCAA title for the 65- ear old tedd beard, 78-72 • ..a.WE'RE JUST SEVEN WILD AND CRAZY GUYS - Wilkes College· wrestlers celebrate their fine showing in the EIWA Tourney at Princeton University, where· Coach John Reese's club finished second to powerful Lehigh University. Left to right are Bryan Billig, Casper Tortella , Rick Smith, Bart Cook, Danny House, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs. ·WRESTLING SEASON OVER, FINISH 27TH IN NATION Although Wilkes College was unable to gain an individual place winner in the NCAA wrestling championships two weeks ago at Iowa State U., they did manage to garner 27th place to duplicate 1977's performance. · The Colonels were given a pre -tourney ranking of 18, but a few mistakes and upsets ended t,h e possibility of finishing among the "Top 20." Wilkes also had three wrestlers seeded in Bryan Billig,· 12th at 126; Mark Dens berger, 7th at 158; and Danny 'Disco" House, 8th at hwt. After the second day of wrestling, soph Billig was the lone survivor. Dens berger was upset in his · first bout by Mike Pheanis of N. Illinois 6-4 in overtime. The regulation match score was ' 4-4. The junior from Danville finished the season with a overall record of 25-1-1, including first places in the EIWA and Bingham ton tourneys. Mark set a new school mark this past season with 18 dual wins in one year and will return to shoot for career records next season. House, a post -grad from Norfolk, Va., completed his last season with a dual record .of 15-2 and was 22-4 overall. House broke Joe Wiendl's record of 49 dual career wins, when he garnered his 50th against Franklin and Marshall in the last match of the year. His career mark in duals ended at 50-19-1. The "Brick House" lost his first match and then decked MAC champ Gene Powell in the loser's bracket at the NCAA' s. But Jeff Grier of Augustanno ended House's hopes with a 10-2 decision . Billig posted a 7: 54 fall over UCLA's Harlan Kissler, but bowed before Kevin Puebla of Ill. 13-8 in the second round. Billig then prevailed over highly-touted Don Cuestas of _Cal Poly, 15-10 in the next match. However, Missouri's Keith Whelan took advantage of Billig's tired and injuryridden body and won by dee . to eliminate the New Tripoli, Pa . native. Billig completed his second year in a Blue and Gold uniform with a 24-5-1 record. Unseeded Casper Tortella grabbed two victories before losing in the second round of the preliminaries. The senior co-captain from Paulsboro, N.J. dee. Andy Lokie of Ohio and defaulted Slippery Rock's Steve Roberts. Bill Cripps of Arizona State clamped him in 3: 46 in the 142 class. Casper ended 1978-79 with a 25-4 slate ,and was voted South Jersey's -outstanding . senior wrestler jbY the S. Jersey Coaches Association. It's a prestigi_o us award for a N.J grappler and both Coach Reese and Coach Fredr-i c k, his high scho o l men tor, were very happy with the selection. Carmel Morina of Temple was Tortella's high school teammate and was s econd in voting for the award. Casper was a two-time NCAA qualifier for Wilkes the last two years. Bart Cook captured a third place at 177 in the EIWA' sand won a 12-8 dee. over OK . Gary Germundson before losing by a fall in 2: 59 to Fla . 's Bill Teutsch. Cook ended the year at16-3and it was the second time he competed in the NCAA event, as he qualified his sophomore year. The junior from Neptune , N.J . red -shirted last year and will be welcomed back for another season next winter . It was a long, but rewarding season for Wilkes--as they tied the 1976-77 record for 17 dual wins in one season. Our Colonels finished second in the EIWA tourney for their best showing ever. Coach John Reese carries a 267-58-8 slate into his 27th season next year and asst. coach Tim McGinley will supply the optimism . Reeese will be out to fill the vacancies left by Tortella, Alex Grohol and House, with recruiting. MAT MATTERS: .. Casper leaves Wilkes with a 40-10-1 career dual record and a 58-16 -1 overall slate. Grohol was 12-2-1 overall this year and 19-8-1 life dual. House posted a 50-19-1 dual mark ..

They take advantage of bargain rates and make their calls during the discount periods. If you're not sure when you can call at discount rates, check your phone book. A few students think it's O.K. to break the rules by stealing their telephone calls. They're not beating the system, they're taking advantage of all of us, because it drives up the cost of providing telephone service. Students who break the rules also run the risk of paying a large fine. Spending time in jail. And getting themselves a permanent police record.

Contri butions in lieu of flowers may be made to Delaware Valley Regional High School, care of Ronald Burd. 1 Stude nt Government voted Monday night to rescind the vote that granted $4,500 for t he Warren Zevon concert which was to be held sometime in e_i ther February or March. The initial vote was made last semester during finals at a specia l meeting. A date was designated but later cancelled. The concert comm ittee was waiting to reschedule the concert. The vote was prompted after Student Government found itself in deplorable financial conditions. SG has a budget of $68,000 to deal with as they see fit. After putting aside money for Winter Weekend, the Cherry Blossum Festival, and the SG eval u ation forms only $1,000 was left. As a rule the body is expected to maintain 10 percent of the budget ($6,800) in their ac c ountatall times. SG this year, however, has been· granting fund requests to various student organizations more frequently than usual. John Senatore, SG treasurer, along with the rest of the executive council have not been monitoring the accounts throughout the year well enough to prevent this situation. SG's budget was recently increased over last year by approximately $10,000. With the rescinding of the concert vote , SG has $5,500. At the meeting they granted $80 to American Institute of Biological Sciences in order that they can sponsor a "Legs of Wilkes Contest" and a disco dance to be held in the SUB March 31. The Radio Club also re ceived up to $30 to help pay for a membership drive party they held earlier t his month. The Chem is try Club, the Accounting Club and Circle K made presentations to the body totalling $740 to be voted upon next meeting . Thtre still rem a ins seven weeks in the semester for SG to meet fund requests of clubs and organizations. Adding more pr·oblem s to the situation, Ross Mantione, film committee co-chairman, nported that the film com m ittee n eeds $200 to help pay for the last two remaining films this semester . The motion was _passed. On the positi ve side of Things , Gr e g Black r e ported t ha t t h e " J e rr y K e lly" co n ce rt ea rned a net p r o fi t of $23.

Jim Edwards Debaters Cop 1st State Title The Debate Union captured it first state championship title in 23 years t hi s past weekend in Lincoln-Douglas de bate. Such recognition has not been achieved since the gold en years of the 1950s. Both Wilkes debate and public spe a king units competed against 18 other institutions a t Clarion State College in the Pennsylvania Forensic Association Tournament. Lincoln -Douglas debate, considered by many to be one of the hard est forms of debate, pits one individual against another in a test of speaking ability, logic , and argumentive skills. Each participant must be prepared to present both sides of an issue . This year's state topic was "Resolved : That all U.S. Students Should be Re quired Lo Pass a Stand:.rdized Examination to Graduate from High School." Mai:;yeJlen Reilly, who went undefeated, was responsible fo r securing tb~·sta te title, while Darlene Sc h affer turned in an impressive third place finis h . The Pennsylvania Forensic Association Championship Tournament is the only recognized tourney for determining state titles, and is held in a different pa rt of the state each year. · Wilkes will retain the title for one ye a r and w i II ente r next year's event as state champion.

The band features an electric sound made up of two guitars, two organs, bass, and drums. The band, which takes its name from guitarists William Kelly and Jerry Lutcik, played to a crowd that conducted itself well. Those in attendance were treated to over two and a half hours of music which began with folk singer-guitarist Les Romain. This listener was initailly turned off by Mr . Romain's songs, which revolved around gam biers and trouble m a kers, but would have been willing to sit through an encore after hearing his driving version of the traditional folk tune "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Unfortunately Mr . Ro· main was but the warm up act for the featured .Kelly band. For the brand of music the Jerry Kelly Band plays, their sound is the best in the area. Put on a national scale or even m~asured against other new and upcoming rock bands, the Jerry Kelly Band is but anot· her decible in the din of rock music being marketed today. The band records on the CBS label and has completed a second album. Its first fea tured the pop-ish single "Magic." After hearing most of the material from the albums, neither record is on my list for future acquisitions. With two organs playing at the same time, it be-came difficult to follow the bass, which is essentia I to any band that says it plays rock and roll. The Jerry Kelly Band thus falls into that massive category called "rock." The guitars complemented each other, with Jerry Lutcik's licks and Bill Kelly's "solos" being the high spots of the show, along with the quasifunky jam at the end of "Motel Bio ~epartment to Offer Two Off-campus Courses Wilkes College Department of Biology will offer two three credit, off-cam pus, courses, one in field zoology, and one in marine biology. Both are sum· mer courses. The field zoology course will be taught by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, as a live-in course at Camp Kresge. The camp is a 1000 acre YMCA facility near White Haven and has complete housing and dining facilities for up to 15 students. Camp Kresge has a small lake, bogs, and various types of upland forest as well as recrea tiona I opportunities such as hiking, canoeing, swimming and volleyball. This course will emphasize the classes of vertebrates and wi 11 cover sue h topics as capture, identification, marking and preservation. Thfl marine biology course will be taught by Dr. Louis Rigley and will be an intensive surveyoftheanimaland plant life found in the Florida Keys area. The course includes the taxonomy, physiology, morphology, behavior, and ecology a•ssociated with coral reefs. The course will stress the interrelationships of the loca I fauna using primarily living specimens. The course will have two phases, the first will be a ten Lovers . " Vocally, the band uses little harmony, and on most numbers the six m em· hers sing melody. This comes offastoomuch, and often only two of the six voices are in tune. Lyrically, the band's songs deal with such significant top · ics as motel romance and the joy of being in love- -areas which have been covered by scores of writers for- scores of years. Overall, the band lacks the crucial gimic . for today's rock world. It is difficult to gain notoriety without attractive blonde vocalists, wild outfits, a stage act, or songs with obvious sexual or drug images. With CBS as a backer and the chance that the band's new a I bum could outsell its previous release, it is possible that the Jerry Kelly Band can a void bee om ing a bargain bin curio. Amazing things can be done in the studio; the proper sou·nd for those FM airways can be manufactured. If the band takes a warm up position on the tour of a more . well known group and com es up with a marketable FM album, it could gain some recognition ahd earn a respectable living in them usic business.

Policy in Process of Review According to P r esiden t Capi n, there ha v e b een sev e r al policies in existence withi n t h e pastd e ca'd e . The pre sent policy came into being in 1972-73 and is currently in the process of being reviewed. When asked why an ad hoc committee was organized ( over one and one-half years ago) to review the whole concept of tenure and tenure policies at the college, Ca pin responded, " The faculty wants to operate in a manner which is more consistant with the AAUP ( American Association of University Professors) policy; they have reaffirmed the need for tenure." "Some people have raised the question as to the releva nee of tenure - does it mean academic freedom , or does it mean job security? The reason for th is is that once tenure is granted there's a certain amount of inflex ibility in m ak'ing decisions regarding t he s ize of t he staff."

Apparently there are many problems involved in the idea to add student mail boxes in the new SUB . For instance, the postal service does not want to deliver mail to these boxes; no legaal documents may be sent to them ( including college bills, grades, etc.), it will cost the college and inevitably the students , to have a person take charge of the new boxes; and the cos t of them ail boxes could be e x tremel y high.

YOUR STEREO HEADQUARTERS COME SEE BOB and JOE March 13 �Page 6, The Beacon, March 1, 1979 LONG, HARD SEASON? N.O, WE BLEW IT!!!!!!! The Wilkes College men's basketball team ended the 1978-79 season with a 9-15 record, which was better than last year's horrible 5-18 slate. But still, head coach Rodger Bearde, the team itself,and most of the Colonel fans, were not satisfied with the results. It's simple why. We could have been better. Much better. The Blue and Gold won o.nly one road game all year and that was am ea ningless tilt with Kean College. They lost their last five games and seven of the final eight. That's not the best way to go out in style, right? But, even though it was not a great year for Wilkes, the Blue and Gold did have a shot for a post-season tourney appearance. A shot?, hell they had three of them, and blew them all!!! First came in Scranton when if Wilkes won, they would advance into the MAC playoffs with King's. Our Leading Scorers Kendall McNeil John Zapko Mike Mc Carrie Artie Meigh JoeMcCrae 20.5 15.3 13.4 5.0 4.7 heroes fell to the Royals 81-73 and all hopes looked bleak. But, then a miracle. On the last day of ' MAC regular seas<rn action, Sera nton fell to Susquehanna in the afternoon and a Wilkes win that night would put us into the playoffs. You guessed it, Wilkes lost 85-77,and we were not in, yet. Wilkes received a third wish and a playoff was set up with Scranton at the King's Gym last week.

Marshall led the team in assists this season and Zapko, who is ranked in the top three in the country, was the team's top rebounder the last three seasons. Gaetano Photos MAGUIREPLACESINMAC Michelle Maguire won three medals at the MAC-swimming championships at 'Johns Hopkins University over the weekend. The freshman student placed fourth in the women's 200 yd. butterfly in 2:.24.6, sixth in the 200 yd. individual medley in 2:26.1, and fifth in the 100 yard butterfly in 1: 05. A form er Meyers High School swimmer, Maguire set a Wilkes school record earlier this year in the 200 yd. butterfly with a time of 2: 23.5. Diver Perry Lichtinger placed in the consolation finals in 1-m eter diving and in the consolation finals in the 3-m eter di ving. The MAC women's record in 1-m eter diving, set last year by Wilkes diver Cindy Glawe, was broken this year by Patti Strohecker of Ursinus. The Mid-Atlantic swimming conference draws competition from colleges in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Johns Hopkins gained its ninth consecutive MAC title in the men's swimming, while Gettysburg dominated the women's events. • This past season was a dis-· ma I one for the Colonel swimmers sporting a 0-11 record. After coming back from their first winning season ( 6-5) last year but loosing seven lettermen to graduation the swim wasn't left with much to work with. The team had no seniors, four juniors, and freshmen and sophomores making up the rest of the small squad. The team practiced only five hours a week, late at night, at the King's College pool. One could say that the conditior<; were not ideal and those who stuck out the season were tru iy dedicated. The highlights of the season involved two team records being broken. Team captain Jim Edwards set a new mark in the 200 freestyle with a 2: 01 and Maguire broke the butter- MICHELLE MAGUIRE 'fly mark twice. She also set a pool record at Lock Haven State College in the 100 yd. butterfly with a 1: 06. Edwaros lead the team in total team points scored with Maguire a close second and Lictinger third. The rest of the team scored as follows: John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Sarah Farley, Valerie Van Dyke, Liz Hendrixson, Megan Caverly, Alan Shaw, and Martha Lasco. Thanks must be extended to F. Char Jes Petrillo who took on the .assignment of team director for the season and really helped the team above and beyond the call of duty. "See, I told you we could beat those guys.!" This is not a quote muttered by Lt. Calley after the Mai Lai incident, but that of Enzo Ferrar after UpIn-Sm oke massacred the Sixers to end the dispute for supPemacy in the Division A jungle. Playing without Pete Cosgrove, Dave Taylor and - Bill Polaha, all resting for the playoffs, Up-In-Smoke's roster was reduced to six players . But this loss was offset by the absence of Sixer's head coach Mark Rado who could h-a ve added twenty points to 'his team's score. In the end it was the play on the court that would decide a victor and UpIn-Smoke led by Flo Ferrar's and Gary Troski's sharpshooting, came out on top. This win completed a perfect 7-0 season for U-I-S, but who cares. They still must win the A tournament to retain the No. 1 ranking. In other A action, the Sixers rebounded with a trouncing of the Clrganization 67-66. George Carey and Boog Brezenski~ who led the Sixers scoring, later commented, "The game was really never close." Rob Irwin, returning after a month long sebaticle, led the Organization with 26 tallies . Also, Priapus nipped the Hum <lingers 72-66 with Marvin Gardins\eading the scoring with four. The B Division took a look towards the playoffs. A needed qualifying game was played between the 752 Crew and the Togas, and it was the Crew that sailed 32-27. The Togas could not stop the ruthless attack of big Colonel Kush inside. But Dan "Windmill" Cardell and Jerry Bird Ross knocked down the outside attack. Mark Zabitz, stunned after scoring his first two points, later explained "And I was trying to get it to Jerry." The win qualified 752 Crew for the B Division playoffs. The other seven teams include: Luke's Skywalkers, Roosevelt DiMedla, Barons, Studs, Prep H and Stoners. It looks like a tough playoff with the favorites being Eddie White's Barons, undefeated this year and Prep H, also with a perfeet slate. In the A lea·gue, it looks like Up in Smoke will be the longshot choice. The championship games will be played tonight. Jay Mack BOWLING RESULTS Most of the news in the Wilkes College mixed bowling league again occured in Division I as the current divisional leaders, the Executioners defeated last semester's champs, the 752 Crew, two games out of three. The Exec's Karl Blight tossed a 584 series including a 224 that helped his team to win the third game by only one pin. The Babelews led by Crazy Jay Mack 557, continued their resurgence by sweeping Sleazy AMF and pulling to within two games of the top spot while the Mothers Brothers, with much improved Darrell Evans rolling a 536 took two of three from Warner House and moved into a thirdplace tie with their victims. In Division II, the Falcons quietly stretched their winning streak to nine games by blanking the Avengers. All the other contenders stumbled as teams two through four each lost more games than they won. However the Pygmies held onto .second, three behind the Falcons, by dropping two games to the oncoming Vet's Club. Other scores: Judy Bellas 191-485, Doug Williams 213564, Dave Jennings 522, Rudy Fischel 518, Sheree Kessler 468, Peggy Siem on 365, Shep Wilner 406, John Yudichak 475 and Bryan Scott 496. WHAT'S GOING ON - Wilkes cage coach Rodger Bearde seems to be asking a question everybody is asking now, whether or not he will be back next year as coach. The Beacon sports staff hopes somebody says something definite soon or our men's basketball program will fail. Will someone out there wake up!!!!! go on to the MAC playoffs and the loser would go home. Well, the count was already 0-2 on us, as we failed in the last two chances and by now everybody knows, there is no joy in Colonel-land, the mighty Colonels have struck out. The Royals won and went into the playoffs with King's representing the Northern DivisionWest section. Both the • Monarchs and Royals were knocked off in the first round and Elizabethtown eventually captured the MAC. If you look back, Wilkes hammered E-town 55-42 earlier this year at the Wilkes Gym, where else. So, in a sense that could have been Wilkes in the MAC title holder's spot. But it is not, and don'tl.!)t anybody fool you, Wilkes has to go a long way before it gets up to par with Scranton and King's. Now, don ' t give me that crap about us being just as good as King' s and better than Scranton . When the money was on the line, we choked. King's beat us twice, they were close, but they beat Wilkes. And Scranton won two of three this season from the Wilkesm en. Telling it like it is, Wilkes is the third best college team in Northeastern Penn sylvania . Bearde feels Wilkes is two players a way from being. a top contending club . "We lose a lot in Za pko, but we lia veto make it up and this year's freshmen will be counted on very hea vily next season." Next year ' s team will center around Kendall McNeil the leading scorer this season with a 20.5average. IfMCNeil is not the captain next year, there ought to be an investigation. Mike Mc Carrie will also have to build up the offense left by the departure of the Zaperoooo. McNeil finishes the year as the MAC's second leading scorer with a 23.0 average and is fifth in free-throw pct. and eighth in field- goal pct. Zapko is ranked No. 1 in the MAC in rebounding for the second straight year and is third nationally. Rick Marshall's ball-handling and experience will be missed by Moon Mc Cue will become one of the greatest guards in Wilkes history over the next three seasons. · Look for Artie Meigh to average in double figures next year as his offensive time born b gets ready to explode. Kevin Walker, who Bearde feels will be the starter next year, will have to gain some weight and ~ould be awesome. Coach Bearde has already made plans on his recruiting trips this season, but it has not been officially announced whether or not he will be back next year as coach. Our sources say yes, but nothing is official. Whoever is in charge of saying yes or no, should do so soon as to let Bearde know what is going on and if a new coach has to be brought in, give him a chance to recruit. If they keep taking a lot of time to decide, the Wilkes basketball · program will fall. Bearde has battled many obstacles the last few years to rebuild the program and all will go for nought if nothing is announced soon. The program will without a doubtfail if something official is not stated soon. Maybe,· somebody in the big white castle, wants it that way. · Eddie Whjte III \... ,j �March I, 1979, The Beacon, Page 7 DENSBERGER, HOUsE ·cHAMPS Best Showing E_ v er: Wilkes 2nd In EIWA L Last Friday afternoon, the Wilkes College wrestlers and Pope John Reese packed their bags and ventured to Princeton University for the prestigious 75th annual Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association ( EIWA) tournament and Monday they returned horn e with the highest place-finish since incel?tion into the league four years ago.

BobGaetano WornenE~ngSeas00; Kendig All-Time Scorer Women's basketball team ended up either dead even or with its second-ever winning . season, depending on what happened last night at Misericordia. Odds are the cagers turned in their second straight winning season with a 12-10 slate. _ The season had more potentia I than the fina.l record shows, but injuries cut depth to a shallow level and perhaps the worn en tired near the end of a sea son that a c tua ll'y began way bacli: in Septem her .• I There was no playoff berth at the end, although it can· honestly be said that Wilkes de- · served to be in the MAC title race more so than did some of the teams that finally made it. As an illustration, in their first meeting with Scranton U, the MAC champs, the Blue and Gold were only ten point losers. But there's no use talking a bout things that might have been. The Colonels did post only their second winning season in varsity history with a squad that had dwindled down to eight by the end of the season. Fortunately those eight included the likes of Diane Kendig, who came unbelievably close to recording a career 1000 point as a sophomore. The 5'5" guard set a num her of college records and is without a doubt the best fem ale basketball player Wilkes has ever seen. She finished with well over 500 season points for a 24.1 average, recorded 130 steals, and boasted an 81 percent foul shooting pe-rcentage. Her stats earned her recognition in the Eastern Women's Basketball Association, and placed her as the MAC's leading scorer. She was consistently high scorer for the Colonels this year. The "Board Sisters," Debbie and Lynn Yedlock, provided the rebounding punch, hauling down over 400 rbs between them. Senior co-captain Debbie also scored more than 158 points, while Lynn added in excess of 209. Junior Mary Jo Frail, a·t 5'10" the team's tallest player, alternated at both guard and forward, and scored over 184 points. She also led in assists and was noted for both her ability to lead the offense and her -spectacular 25-foot shots. Ellie Adams, a freshman transfer, was a valuable ad.dition to the squad, quickly bee om ing one of the top scorers. She helped fill t _h e gaps left by freshmen Kathy McHale and Mary Jean. Farrell, both of whom were. lost early in the season. Junior Sue Freda, who was plagued with ligament damage to her knee most of the second half, was an important offensiv_e weapon, as well as being tough on D. Co-captain Nancy Johnson anchored the bench by providing depth at the forward spot, and had a good sense of offense. Freshman Mary Lynne Dreibelbis was a pleasant surprise and was counted on to fill in at either guard or forward. St,e often added a spark to the squad when she entered the game. Pam Snyder was also a · sparkplug with her quickness and hustle, and like Dreibelbis, shows a lot of potential. The posting of only the second winning season was a fitting way for Coach Sandra Bloom berg to close out an illustrious career as both a player and a coach. Bloomberg, who is the only fem ale at Wilkes to have her number retired, last year led the Colonels to their -first winnin_g season. The highlight of this season, in addition to Kendig's phenomenal ,performance, had to be the stunning upset over Bloomsburg. Unfortunately, that game was probably the peak of the cagers' efforts, for the rest of the season was dis appointing. The lowlights had to be the twin losses to King's. These in effect ruined Wilkes' chances to make MAC playoffs and win the Letter worn en Tourna ment, and were especially gloomy since Wilkes is obviously the better team. All in all, the 1978-79 season was one to remember for its outstanding individuals and team effort in the face of some not-so-fortunate circumstances. With two consecutive good seasons.in the books, the women's basketball program now appears to have the foundation it needs to build into a highly-respected one. Already the team has risen into the ranks of such teams as Immaculata through the perform a nee of Kendig and the team as a whole. If a coac bing decision is made in time to a !low the new men tor to build for next year, the team could continue to bee om e a force to reckon with in the MAC.

The team also picked up five additional individual trophies, bringing the total number of '.lwards won since the fall to more than 27. Darlene Shaffer finished first in prose literature competition _ and fifth in impromptu speaking. Jon Pliskin also garnered a first place award for informative speaking and a fourth in impromptu speaking. Colleen Gries took seconc! in informative speaking, enabling Wilke~ to sweep the first two places in this event. Pam Russo also contributed to the overall first-place finish. The r:ollege Debate Union has become a formidable opponent in competition since Dr. Bradford Kinney revived the sport and brought it to the prominence it now enjoys.

Fu'rth e rmo.re, there were 285 enrollments last Sprin g as compared to the 334 enrollnfents this Spring.

It has come to Kirsh ner's attention that many students are receiving poor advising from professors who don't even like to do it. This was announced at ~onday ' s SG meeting but since there was not enough members in attendance for a qu o r11m, a n "informative session" was held instead.

The apparent problem is ~hat the l?ro.fessors have no Job description as far as advising goes. They <4,in't know what is expected of them and what the students expect. Kirshner noted that some advisors are very good while other are not. One SG memher cited that her advisor has signed her pre -registration form the last three years without saying a word to her. If students are receiving "Bad Advising" concerning· required courses-, the ultimate responsibility is still upon them.

In my opinion disco and r-ock is not the answer to the musical entertainment supplied to our students during weekend parties. Granted, disco is for dances, and rock is for foot stom pers, · but what about the increasing majority of students who want to have "Punk" parties? There is a drastic need for Punk music in our parties. Punk is America! Punk is genuine! Punk is necessary! The thrill of dancing while sticking safety pins in each other's cheeks and ears over-rates the boredom of disco dancing. To hear artists like Elvis Costello, Ramones, a·nd Dr. Feelgood being played at a dance is a rush in itself. To know that you are dancing a slow dance with your girl friend to the lyrics of "beat the br a t-- heat the brat--beat the brat with a baseball bat," is a feeling that cannot be compared to any other music art. Furthermore, what other · music art has such idles as Patty Smith, Sid Viscious, or Devo. And like disco in usic, Punk is made up of the same crazy lyrics and same crazy chords that makes each song sound the same. In com pariso n to rock, .Punk has the Denison Rats 'Squeak Up' To the Editor: On the topic of "Winter Wonderland Weekend," we would like to extend our thanks to those who made the New York Style Coffee House a success.

However, all things must come to an end. It is now out of total disgust and outrage that I am compelled to speak out. Last Friday evening was the 1979 Wilkes College Gong Show; and I might add a quit - successful endeavor. A warm and sincere thank you is extended from myself to everyone responsible for its presentation, especially Marl a Brodsky, to whom only my highest praise is given. However, understanding that nothing in life is perfect and that there is always room for criticism allow me to be the first to give it.

Wheelbarrow Run now flows through the Tubs, form ing many small waterfalls and rapids. · Hiking, jogging, walking, bicycling, and cross-country skiing trails are planned, in addition to picnic areas, a scenic overlook, and facilities for nature study and scientific research. The CCE now is involved in mapping the existing routes and designing new trails throughout the Tubs area. Numerous efforts to protect t he Tubs and surrounding acreage were made from the 1950s through the early 1970s; however, none has met with success.

The Dead went on the road , the women moved· back to Rio and I stumbled out of bed. "AHHHHH! ! ! " I screamed in terror as my small toe made hard contact with the empty keg. I fell grasping the pulsating wound and hobbled out to answer the payphone. "Who was it?" came the moan from the dark corner as I crawled back into the room. · "I don't know," I responded, burrowing reek into the bed. "It was for some guy named Fred--you know him?" "Who?" "Fred." " Fred? ... He! I no." "Wel l if you ha open to meet him tell him to have two ounces ready to sell tom morrow." "Oh, okay, good night." "Yeah," I groaned, knowing that it was useless to try and find the dream -- it was gone; hidden beneath the pillow. Out of bed I crawled and sat my desk, watching the cockroaches finish their single's weekend at the Roach Hotel. It was t hen I noticed a long-forgotten piece of trivia from my youthful days--my yearbook, The Screech Valley High School Ephemeron. A look through its pages brought a flood of memories about my youthful innocence, naivete and misconceptions about t he life I had to look forward to after those carefree days. I remember tlie events that led me to where I stand now: college. I remember the deceptions that began as early as the fourth grade. · ALAS, THE LIES I have been told. When rut a child in the tender, were other times when it was sexless fourth grade, a teacher--truly cruel of heart--told a class of extremely diffi cu lt t o make ·unsuspecting souls who complained too often of an inordinate amount out wha t the per fo rmer was of history work, that in the future we could look forward to an eternity of hom ework and hell.

But HORROR HAD SI'RUCK. My· mind was. reeling. There is nothing there is .a good deal of room like a school teacher for instilling fear in the hearts and minds of his for im prov em ent in the charges. The prospect of getting a high school diploma seemed dim; show's overall production. even passing fifth grade became, in my mini, a Herculean task. It Hopefully the improvement was rumored that things got harder as the years progressed. At that will surface in time for the point, I knew that I should consider a career--without education--the 1980 "Gong Show" edition. start of an exercise which I would continue throughout my years of Ed Van Buren instruction. Various occupatioos entertained my mind: I could run away and join a travelling, circus, ( too cl iche), or perhaps, I could aspire to be a shepherd in the Andean foothills, or even an Indian chief. Vocations of all sorts fell under my scrutiny, all different, though all sharing illiteracy as a common requirement. Through the years I pondered my impending end--lrain death. (And at my funeral..."Well, I don' t know. They say he got to the Arkansas Apple Blossom, muttered something about sheep and fell over.") Alas, I have never known the capital of more than five states at once and nary a state flower. Yet here I sit, many years later, in college, knowing well the deceptions I have been fed. "JUST WAIT till you get to college!" she cried. "Two dimensions? BOOKS* REC:ORDS & TAPES , .... Ha! That's nothing when you start playing with objects in three and four dimensions . That's when it really gets fun!" Miss T.I. ~'>-4767 • Totient must have known my fourth grade teacher. At the front of my geometry class she stood snorting like a war-horse as she spoke of the wondrous subtleties of imaginary numbers, which we could all look forward to without, once we got to college. Hell, this was unfair, how can it be a number if we can only imagine it? The Andes started looking good. Things had been bad in the elementary school , especially when they hit us with num ber!1 that looked like letta-.s--rut I made it. Now, they expect me to know numbers when I get to college. What is this C,oll_ege? Can it be as bad as they say? They had my mind, oow they wanted my soul; college must sure be hell. I wanted to know when this purgatory called educat ion would end and life could really begin RUMORS FILTERED in from all fronts. Tales of day-long imprisonmen in the halls and rooms of study abounded and the old fears arose again. I decided that my tent in the Andes would be lrown--to match my llama. _ Then one day, after working for some time at the stables in smimer camp, I realized that the prospect of cleaning up after a · llama for the rest of my life was not to endearing. I had to find 8C)llle other out. It was about this time, [the begilDling of my senior year of hiab school] when I was cast at the mercy of Mr. Creed [aka: tiie Guidance Counselor]. He was slight man with a propensity to rave, ' recite Freud, and smoke pipe tobbaco which was similar to the .fragrance of hot llamas. It was then I began to believe the popular nm.or: Mr. Creed was a member in good standing of the Charlie Manson--Son of Sam Fan Om. He did mt do a lot to belay my fears of college, but he al so did much to undermine any desire I had of going to college. After all, he was a college graduate. The net result of my sessions with Mr . freed was a battery of career aptitude tests that informed me I was suited for cl«gy work, jewelry design and shepherding. · And that was my last encounter with the curious creattres that hrk in the public schools, for soon aft« I was accepted to \\likes and found the truth. Now, I waited for graduation to find the Truth about the outside world--Is it as real as they say? A Review•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••,,.•••••••••• 'Gong Show' Pat I-All Together The whole purpose behind a "Gong Show" is to bring the good and bad , the talented and the untalented together and see what results. Last Friday night's "Gong Show" at the I rem Tern pie did just that. The !rem tern pie, pro bably chosen for its seating capacity, provided quite a plush setting for the· evening's fes t ivities . To its credit, the show started on time. Also to its credit were a couple of fine performances turned in by Wilkes students. The finest perform a nee was provided by "Gong Show" winner Maggi e Bunnel accompa nied by Beth .Hamm er . Her singing well deserved the recognition it received. Lorenzo Alston also turned in a strong singing perform anc.e. HQwever , he made the fatal mistake of choosing too long a ballad. Had his song ended a bou t three minutes sooner, he may have provided Maggie with· strong com petition for the evening's honors. Also ma king the mis take of length was the first Steve Martin impressionist. who r eally was good, but stayed out there too long so that the • novelty and its effect wore off. Joel Kane whose impression of General Patton was excellent, almost made the same m istake. His score of 30 attests to the fact that he knew when to quit. Rick Gaetano served as the emcee for the show and did a c redible job. However, at t imes it seemed that he over did it. The idea was to stay off to the side du'ring performances, rather than involve himself in it. The most tasteless perform nee of the evening involved the raised cross and the impression ( or whatever) that accompanied it. I won't talk about it further simply because it doesn't deserve the print. There were some problems with the sound system in use for t he show. I suspect that the ope ning ·performance of co untry rock woul d have scored much higher had the sound production been be tter. This partic ular instance was probably the fault of the performers rather than those running the show. But there a Any $7 .98 List ALBUM ORTAPE 18 S. Main St..

P,age 6, Tl;ie B~ac.Qlh J<:~b ruary• .2~, 1979 ~oyals Down Colonels, Long -Season.ls Over 1 LADIES FALL Women's basketball team saw its MAC playoff hopes vanish Tuesday evening when it lost to Upsala College at the victors' court. The lady Colonels, who had lost their previous two contests, looked as if they might pull this one out of the fire and throw the MAC Northern Division into a three-way tie -for second. A win over Upsala would have forced a committee decision as to whether Wilkes, King's, or Upsala would continue in post-season play. However, Tuesday's loss gave the playoff ltierth to Upsala and left Wilkes with an 11-10 record and one regular season game remaining. The Blue and Gold started off slowly in the Upsala contest, but soon had the la.dy Vikings in a shooting match, with a basket being scored at a rate of almost two a minute. Wilkes took its biggest lead with 8: 10 remaining in the first half when it pulled ahead 22-18. But the Vikings soon tied it up, and in the final minute and a half built up a ~even-point lead. The second half again started slowly for the Colonels, and with half of th.; period remaining, they were down by 16. It was not until the final two minutes that the Blue and Gold displayed the aggressiveness and poise that they needed, but even that awesome performance wasn't enough to surmount Upsala's lead. Athletes have been known to say, "We didn't lose- -we just ran out of time;" Wilkes could have used a bout two more minutes. Sophomore-Diane Kendig turned in a phenomena I performance, scoring 31 points, hauling down six rebounds, and snaring five steals. She had her defenders literally turning in circles and the Upsala coach wondering whether to double- or triple-team her. Freshman Ellie Adams and junior Lynn Yedlock chipped in 11 points each, and junior Mary Jo Frail added ten. The loss was Wilkes' third straight, as the Colonels were defeated first by Eliza bethtown and then Juniata last week. The E : town game was a mild disaster for the Blue and Gold, since the_Bluejays sported the tallest and possibly the most balanced team Wilkes has seen this season. The game looked as if it might turn into a rout, with Wilkes down by 39 at one point in the second half. Fortunately the Colonels rallied in time to make the score respecta hie at 78-52. Kendig again led all scorers with 26, and Frail accounted for 14. The long trip to Juniata two days later proved to be another double defeat for the Colonel basketball teams, as the worn en lost 65-53 and the men also were defeated. Again, the game was not one to write home about, as the Blue and Gold trailed at the half 34-19, were em barassingly outrebou·nded 64-39, and watched Juniata break several team records in its last home stand. The guards kept Wilkes alive, scoring 43 of the 53 points, and accounting for 22 of the 39 rebounds. Kendig, Frail, and Adams led the Wilkes scorers with 20, 12, and 11 points respectively. The cagers also lost the servic_es of junior guard Sue Freda, who reinjured a knee and will be out for the rest of the season. The women's only win since their upset of Bloomsburg came at the expense of Lycoming. The cagers had an easy time, winning 101-36, while a bviously not even trying to break the century mark. Kendig again was the standout -player, as she set a new school scoring record with 43 points while single-handedly outscoring the entire Lycoming team. The 5' 5" guard also pulled down ten rebounds and stole the ball 11 times. Adams contributed 16 to th~ cause, Lynn Yedlock added 15, and · sister Debbie pumped in ten. The Colonels last game of the season is next Wednesday against M isericordia on the Dallas cam pus. Wilma Hurst Swimmers Go To MA C's The Wilkes College swim team lost their last two meets this past week to Binghmaton (74-30) and Susquehanna University ( 56-39). The season record ended at 0-10 while the team posted their first winning season last year at 6-5. Last Wednesday, the team did turn in some good performances against the Binghmaton squad. Michelle Maguire took first place in the 200 butterfly while breaking her own team record with a time of 2: 23.5. Michelle also took a second plactl in the 500 freestyle. Team captain Jim Edwards took a first in the 100 freestyle and settled for a second in the 200 freestyle. John Moffatt got the only other Wilkes first place in the 50 freestyle while Rob doty earned a second in the 200 breaststroke. During Saturday's meet against Susquehanna, the highlight of the meet featured Maguire again winning in the 200 butterfly against the toughest com petition she has faced all year. Maguire is expected to place very high in the MAC championships this year in the butterfly e','.ents. Other first place finishes include Edwards in the 200 and 100 freestyle events and Perry Lichtinger in the optional diving. John Moffat took a second place in the 200 backstroke with Rob Doty doing the continued on page 7 The Wilkes College basketball team saw its MAC playoff hopes and season end on Tuesday evening as the Blue and Gold dropped a• 59-54 decision to Scranton in a MAC playoff at the King's Gym before a standing room only crowd. ' High scorer for Wilkes was Kendall McNeil, who broke the school record for most field goals in a season, and tallied 24 points. Mike Mc 1 Carrie added 18 and John Zapko was held to only two points. Wilkes finishes the year ·with a 9-15 slate and on a five game losing skein. Wilkes held a ten-point lead in the first half, but the Royals behind Doug Sherman's 24 tallies rallied back to take the win with a late second half surge. Highlight of the game was when the Wilkes and King's fans joined forces to cheer on the Colonels in the playoff game. K'ing's won the first game of the doubleheader, downing Lebanon Valley. McNeil who put in 24 points in the gym where the MAC playoffs will be held. In the 59-50 loss to Bloom in the final regular season game, Zapko was high with 17 points and 14 rebounds. McNeil added ten on five field goals, which gives him 187 for the year, which ties the school record for most in one season, held by Rich Davis, who set it in the 197071 campaign. Bearde rested the starters against Bloom and the subs had a lot of time to show what they had. McNeil was named Mon da y to the E C AC weekly team for t he fifth time this year and is a bonafide candidate for E CAC honors. In three game last week, he tallied 85 points on .599 pct. shooting. Wilkes and Sera nton had met twice before Tuesday during the regular season with Wilkes winning the first 64-60 at the South Franklin St. Gym in a televised game and the Royals taking the second 81 -73 at the Long Center. Eddie White Going into the Scranton game, the Colonels were on a four game losing skein. Wilkes had lost encounters to Lock Haven State College59-58, Eliza beth twon 65-54, Junia ta 85-77, and to Bloomsburg State 59-58. The Juniata game WAS, was the big one. Earliertha tday the Royals of Scranton had lost to Susque.hanna University in Selinsgrove and a Colonel win would put Wilkes in the playoffs and keep Scranton out.

After four sports in the fall and winter , Scranton leads in the team standings with 17 team points, followed by King's at 12 and Wilkes with seven. The Roya ls took first place in three of the sports, winning women's ten nis, men's cross country and women's basketball. The Roya ls tied Wilkes for second pface in basketball. King's won the men's basketball, a nd finis hed second in women's tennis and women's - bask1rtball. King's took a third in men's cross country. Wilkes earned third places in1 women's tennis and women's basketball, while winning second place in cross country and tying for second in men's basketball. First place school in a spor gets five points, second thr ee and fourth one. In the men' s ba sketball division, both Scranton and Wilkes tied with 1-1 slates and they shared four points, getting two apiece. But do not worry Colonel fans, we are not out of the race yet. Left on tap is four sports in the spring season, and the Blue and Gold figure to be in good shape for the stretch run. Wilkes should be favored in at least one of the sports, that being men's baseball. • The other three conference spring sports include men's tennis, golf, and women's softball. Wilkes winning all four and capturing the title of MIC champ is not unrealistic. No matter how it works out, the winners of each sport will r eceive individual trophies at a banquet in Scranton on May 2. The overall school winner will get a large trophy to keep at the school for one year. Gries added that a big-time NBC sport.~ announcer is being lined up to speak at the affair.

RESULTS - During last Friday's position night in the Wilkes College mixed league, Warner House helped prevent Division I from becoming a romp by taking two of three from the Executioners and pulling to within , two games of the top spot. Rudy Fischl led Warner with a 505 series. The Mother Brother s and Babalews also tangled and despite the Brothers nabbing two of three, both teams are only three games out and tied for third place with the 752 Crew. _ Doug Williams was again the big story in Division II, rolling an amazing 214-191-237- 642 and again eclipsing the year's high series [ 618] which he set just a week ago. With those num hers , his Falcons swept the second place Assorted Nuts and remained in first place. Williams is destined for the pro bowlers tour or a guest s hot on 1.Jowling for Dollars.

This is a part of Perry Lichtinger' s reasoning behind making the transition from wrestling to swimming. In his first three years at Wilkes, Perry was very much involved with wrestling under Coach John G. Reese, but this season he joined the swimming team as a diver. Perry first became involved with wrestling when he was in high school, ' under Laural High School coach Beryl Cohen. He went on to become a Maryland State champion. One of the first things that attracted Perry to Wilkes was the outstanding wrestling program. He spent a great deal of his extra-curricular time imprpving his mat skills and battling for a varsity berth. Wrestling as Perry states, " takes so much time." Total dedication and long hours are needed to train and stay on top of the wrestling world. Perry had the dedication and put in m~ny hours, but last season he was hit with a seris of injuries. The injuries, "took all the fun out of wrestling," and forced him .to forgo wrestling this year, atieasi. _ Perry found it hard to stay a way from athletic competition, so he joined the swim team to experience other forms of athletic activities. He thinks of swimming as "a more individual type of sport, as compared to wrestling." Now tha t Perry is a diver, he finds more time for ot!ier extracurricular activities. He sings in the Wilkes College Chorus, is a writer for " The Beacon", assists the athletic trainer Mike Aed, works in the Public Relations Office, and will soon start working as a tutor in the Volunters for Literacy Program. At the recent Wilkes-Lehigh wrestling match, Perry kept his hand in the sport by serving as guest commentator for the college radio station, WCLH, jlS he and assistant Rich Nordheim did the match over the air. Perry find s that being involved in many activities he can meet more people and learn to use hi s time m_ore wisely.

If the activity is for a fund raising purpose, the $50 limit can be exceeded but only with the permission of the Board. John Senatore, who filed this report to Student .Government Monday night also stated that new standards have been set for security during parties.

The showmg will run for eight hours, starting from 6 or 7 p.m . A date has not been set yet for the festival, but tqe committee will finalize plans by next Bill Lewis read, for CC approval, a letter which is to be sent to the Presidents' Council in regards to the new fall calendar. The letter points out 1:hat the Council recommended the semester beginning · during the last week of August, thus giving an early fall break and an extended final exam period. It also states the council's request for a review of the new calendar, which they feel would . be in the students' best interests. It was suggested that a ·schoolwide survey should be held to determine how many people are in favor of or opposed to the new fall semester calendar. The council agreed with the proposal. Tom Brooks took some surveys of Veterans Club and the Chem Club are opposed to the new calendar. Dean Hoover gave some historical prospective saying that traditionally Wilke~ did not have a fall break. However, Tom Brooks added," It was decided that it should be changed ... it has been a step forward and I don't see why tne college should take a step backwards." To111 went on to say that he believes a fall break and a longer exam period are in the "students' best interests." Joni Brooks suggested that representatives from th.e student body should help prepare the academic calendars. She stated that such student reps could help get the . students' viewpoints across in calendar selections. Umt"" would be a positive step. The council was informed that the SUB has reached decisions on its party policies. From now on each SUB p ty will have a security force icked by Bob Austin, a price · ·twill be set on tickets ( dependim on-tn_e reasons for the party, extra attr~tions, etc.), the fire safety limit will be strictly adhered to and repeated troublemakers will be banned from SUB parties. A request was made to "break the potato chip monotony" by adding some pretzels, cheese twists, and other snacks to the racks which are in the Commons. Bill Turcan viewed excerpts of the Eysselinck Report of October HT17, and interviewed Klaus Holm (technical director of the theater), Dr. Thomas Kaska ( chairman of the Department of Language and Literature), Dr. Benjamin Fiester (former chairman of the English Department), and five stu:Jents who have a declared a major in English with a concentration in theater arts. INDIVIDUAL mem hers of the committee also met with Alfred Groh (director of cultural activities and former chairman of the Theater Department), and John Whitby (director of special programs), along with seeking input fl'OOl a number of outside sources. The group decided that administrative and academic obstacles would be too great and have too many implications for Wilkes and King's to develqi a joint program. It also concluded that alt~ugh music and theater are complementary fields, they are not compatible enough to merit the establishment of a combined department. TIIE OPTION of creati~ a department of communication arts was also deemed undesireable because although a major in Communications Studies is now being considered, a major portion of the Department of Language and Literature is already com posed of students concentrating in communication stu:Jies, and considerable adjustment would be necessary. The fourth option, the maintenance and strengthening of a separate theater department, while the committee's ideal p-eference, was determined to be fina ncially-pr.ohi bi tive, since three to five new faculty members would need to be hired, and less than 15 students at both Wilkes and King's presently concentrate in theater arts. THE FIFTH alternative, the one which the committee accepted was believed to be consistent with the liberal arts philosophy of Wilkes and also conforms to the historical precedent already established, since the theater department resided for some time within the English Department. One additional full-time faculty member with experience in acting and directing should be hired, and other part-time resources should also be sought, according to the committee. The one concern expressed in relation to this alternative was the fact that the Department of Language and Literature is now responsible for fields of study including foreign languages, communications (including journalism and broadcasting) , English, and speech. ·The committee was concerned that the Department administration may not be able to provide the support, care, and nurturing necessary to hopefully develop a separate department in the future . However, Dr. Kaska assured the committee that the abilities and desires of the department's senior members would enable the department to meet this repsonsibility. The committee, in its conclusions and recommendations, made a number of other suggestions designed to encourage the growth of a quality theater program. Wilma Hurst �Th the Editor: Having read the letter submitted by Mr. Gray on the SUB J:x1rties( Feb. 1, 1979) I felt an obligation to take up my pen in response. I must admit that his words seem objective enough, however, several of his statements warrent rebuttal. I am sure Mr. Gray, whatever his background or style is, is aware that Disco is the latest craze that is sweeping our country offitsfoet.I would recall my earlier years on this campus when bluegrass, rock, and rock and roll music was all one heard ( was obliged to listen to) at J:xlrties and even on the radio stations. I agree that there should be a mix of music at J:xlrties to take into consideration tha different backgrounds and lifestyles of the students on campus. However, bearing in mind the a for em entionedOe. disco fever) the organizers of these parties have to stick to disco music as this is what the J:x1trons want to hear. This of course brings me to the point made by Mr. Gray that there are no signs reading "Disco Only." I ass ume Mr. Gra~ is intelligent enough to comprenend that when sign says "Disco Party'' he should be prepared for, an evening of Disco music. Mr. Gray suggested that the J:nsement of the SUB be set up for people who do not want to "disco" or "just want to listen to another type of music while J:x!rtying." I would r ecall that the basement is al ready being used by such people. The idea o1 providing a system only adds to the aggravation of sponsoring a social campus activity. Visa-vis, locating the necessary and sponsors, not forgetting the added expenses. In all, I would say that these are private parties, and when Mr. Gray gives a µtrty, I'm sure nobody tells him what kirrl of music to play. In my opinion, the responsibility for adequately equipping the SUB lies with the administration and should foe IDC or any other organization associated with the student governments give a party without consideration to the types of music, then Mr. Gray has grounds for objection; Otherwise, I would suggest that "any segment of our student body that is tired of disco' ' not attend these µtrties labelled "disco", but rather have its own bluegrass, rock, rock and roll or whatever ty_pe of p arty they want to have, without the consideration of the disco lovers! I do believe that this is still a free country and one has the choice of not conforming. Respectfmly sulxni~, Danny &u1,1.t- To The Editor: This letter is in response to one written by Joseph A. Gray, survivor of Skynard. It seems that Mr. Gray is basing his judgements of "SUB" parties and consequently social gatherings at Wilkes as one mainly of Disco. As a senior, I have attended over the past four years countless SUB parties, dorm parties and · witnessed an extreme dose of Panama Red and other rock selections without the presence of Disco. , Let me correct Mr. Gray, the SUB party on Jan. 19, H179 was advertised as a disco party and on Jan. Zl, 1979 I attended a SUB J:x!rty in which there was a mixture of both rock and di"sco ·music. _I want to thank Mr, Gray for informing me that a "Disco Program" exists at Wilkes College. I-Tow1ever what Wilkes consid•c>.rs to be Disco is quite a poor-imita-· tion of what it actually is. I must adhere to the fact that John Tra" volta is absurdly stereotyped as a disco symbol yet has concentrated his efforts into acting and since such stereotyping exists; is proven a success. Your confidance Mr. Gray in assuming that "a segment of our student body is getting somewhat" tired of Disco" is overwhelming, however evidence of a successful disco given last semester by Tony D. could exemplify that Disco is alive and .thriving. Nevertheless Mr. Gray without a survey no assumptions should be made. To this I may very well be known as a ''Disco Queen" and would be happy to challenge Mr. Gray on this point and as a good sport request a dance.

The junior from Dupont serves as WCLif s -station manager and is a key to the operation, which is housed on the th i rd floor of the Dorothy Dickson Darte building. The political science major likes his new position because it affords him the chance to handle responsibility and to . practice public speaking, which makes the job an ideal stepping stone to his goal to become a lawyer. Fred joined the station in his freshman year, and was made i:x-ogram director in the' summer before his sophomore year. His duties were to oversee -all programming such as type of music, educational material, show organization. Despite the lack of previous experience with a radio station, Fred handled the assignment with little trouble. His new job as station manager includes the responsilility of insuring clean and orderly w.:rking conditions at the statim. He must maintain files and a lilrary of reference materials that can be had at a moment's mtice for use on the air. Fred previews all programs intended for the air and also conducts an on-going membership drive.- As st ation manager he must literally get involved in every aspect of running the statim. Twenty hours a week is required, but fortyFred is usually amount of time spends the at ~t=~~;-f;~~\o~~~.~~ r:1!- the desire to work for the station. The personal management Fred supplies is pirt of his effort to satisfy as many people as he can. It's not always fun and games. Recently the station was turned down for a federal grant which would have replaced aged and failing equipment. Also, if you remember last semester, the staff felt that the faculty directed much criticism toward the station. Apparently criticism is not something Fred fears, for he said, "We are open to criticism because we can better ourselves •with it. But the thing that bothers me most is that the people who do the, .5t complaining are the ones you never see around here. They never bother to come to the station to see for themselves how we operate." Despite the problems, Fred said, "The station is at its highest point now. We are delivering to the public a program varied enough to appeal to every taste. If we don't carry something that people want, then we'll try and get it." AJomg with his job at the radio station, Fred is involved in the Political Science Club, Radio Qub, and is presently involved in establishing a chapter of Tota Beta Sigma, the National Broadcasting Fraternity, on campus.

Has this question ever occured to you? "Where do all the foreign students at Wilkes go for Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner?" It's not home, and it's not the UN. Instead, it's a name well-known around Wilkes-Barre that is associated with these times of the year. That name and person is Nelson Carle, manager of Stark Learning Center, and a man the foreign students have come to know as one who dis: plays a tremendous ''love and ' generosi ty for people." For the past ten years he has ' hosted holiday dinners, comolete Nith turkey, wine, and a smile-Ythat makes the meal even more enjoyable. His help and concern have been much-appreciated by the foreign students on campus, who have nothing but praise for him. The only reward Carle wants is the opportunity to stay in touch with his students after they leave Wilkes. Ahmad Mahmoud, speaking on behalf of all the foreign students, expressed their appreciation for Carie's deeds when he said, "I would like to say to him the good old Arabian Saying, 'May God create more of your type' ." { The PRO SHOP At the WILKES-BARRE INDOOR TENNIS CENTER Is loaded with savings from now till Februa,ry 18.

According to IDC S u r v e y - - - - - - - - - - Stu de ntS Favor Coed Dorm "Campus social life would' be greatly improved" stated one optimistic co-ed dormitory supporter on his - survey questionnaire. This sentiment seems to be the general feeling among Wilkes College dormitory students, according to the partial results received from the co-ed questionnaire administered by IDC. As of now, 106 students in contrast to the 29 non-supporters, are in favor of co-ed dorms. Of the ones who wish for co-ed housing, 55 students believed Pickering Hall would be tbe "best possible place" for this type of dwelling. However, :r7 people disagreed and thought that outside dorms posed the best setting for mixed dorm life. Very mixed emotions are present a mong th e polled student body as to how male-female dorms should be divided. Thirty-eight students support having the guys and gals living next door to each other whereas :r7 believed the>sexes should be seperated by floor. The remaining 34 students believe the dorms should be split up by wing. A minority of the students questioned had had no previous experience in co-ed dorms. However, there were some exceptions. One student, co_mmenting on his former co-ed, dorm experience at Penn State was quick to i,oint out that "the soci11l atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed and less alienating.'' The tallyil).g of the co-ed questionnaires will be finalized at IDC's next meeting and an IDC recommendation will be drawn up and forwarded to the Dean's Council within a two week period effective Feb. 4. The question of "dorm_profits" is still looming in the minds of the IDC members. According to IDC president Gary Toczylow• ski, all student organizations except for Student Government are in favor of unlimited profits provided that certain stipulations, be followed.

Student Government President Steve Kirshner informed Commuter Council tha t the administration has a dopted a school calenda r for 1979-80 where the Fall semester begins Sept. 5, there is . no early semester break, and the . exa m period is six days long. The calendar was adopted despite recommendations by the three student organizations ( SG, CC, and JDC) against the move. ~irshner went on to say that he feels the students have expressed a desir e to keep the ea rl y semester break and the longer exam period; and he feels the a ction of the President's Council is contrary to the stu. dents' wishes. • _Tom Brooks proposed that CC, SG, and JDC draft a formal let-. ter of protest against the new · calendar.. He stated that he does not think the new calendar is in the " better interest of the · students." The Council l;lgreed unanimously. CC advisor Dean Hoover pointed out that the practice of having an ea rl y semester break was not instituted un til recent Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W. Market St . Wilkes-Barre years. However, Kirshner a dded that since the institution of the break students have expressed a desire to keep it, and the tri-council recommendations echo this sentiment. CC' s newly-elected traffic coordinator, Bill Stusnick, checked into the current pricing of bus tokens and discovered that the Council can cut costs by one dolJar: CC then voted to make Zone One tokens $12 and Zone Two tokens $13. Reports of trouble at the recent SUB party prompted Dean Hoover to say that he appreciI ates the help the student councils have given in bringing certain problems to the administration's attention. He said that the matter is being checked and that some de.cision will soon be reached concerning SUB parties. Dan Patronick informed the council that the Commons will be getting some sort of hot meal shortly. The meals will not be offered under the same deal as caf food, but the price is supposed to be reasonable.

Jim Edwards ·w"t~-~·w;~t~·t·h-~t··c~tt~-~-?-·1 ·1· To the Editor: I feel it is my duty as sports editor of the Beacon to respond to the Jetter printed in last week's paper concerning Mr. John Reese and the King'sWilkes basketball game. iW}loever wrote it, I doubt it was the cheering "Bad Company", was totally wrong. To say that any sport is more exciting than another is wrong. It is up to the individual. A 20-19 wrestling match is more thrilling than a 105-47 cage tilt. And a 65-64 basketball game is more . exciting than a 46-3 wrestling match. As far as Mr. Reese stopping ... Lhe Colonel, he was only trying to protect the fans in that area of the gym and the Colonel himself. I do agree that the Colonel could have been allowed to cheer in front of the Wilkes' fans, but it is all over with now, and there were no major problems ip tha t game. As I suggesterl la st week, we should get a Colonel for every sporting event, which includes basketball and wrestling. To whoever wrote the letter, ! do you sir volunter to ~e a Colonel?

The com m ittee included Kaska, Dr. Brad Kinney, Prof. Bruce Weal, Prof. Christopher Fox, Karen Klucitus, Betty DeCosmo, and myself. The group met a num her of times, finally coming up with a program which they felt suitable , for presentation to Langua ge and Literature department. The proposal was passed unanim ously at the depa rtment meeting. Now it goes before the Curriculum committee. If suc' cessful there, a new communica t ions program will be presented to the faculty at a . general meeting for final approval. Dr. Kaska is " delighted" with the progress being made so far. He hopes to have the ne w curriculum adopted by the end of this semester. If this happens, the new Communications program will go into effect for the upcoming fall semester. With that in mind, the remainder of this week's article and next week's article will be spent studying the proposal as it now stands. First, the proposal is for a major in Communication-Studies, rather than an English major with Communications specialization. The committee, in planning out such a major, sought to develop a program in Communications Studies which is strongly centered in the humanities and at the same time provides basic training in occupational skills. The occupational training will be in fields such as journa lism , public relations, and broadcasting. In this way, the progra m will be unique a nd ther efore not conflict with exisiting majors at area colleges (such as King's). The committee prefaced its proposal by emphasizing the importance of verbal aptitude to those interested in the Communica tions curriculum. For this r eason the program includes a r ecommendation that students with verbal SAT scores of less than 500 be admitted only on a provisional basis. Further, the committee looks for the establishment of an Advisory Board to help monitor the program . As far as staffing the program is concerned, the r ecommendation is that one-full tim e fa culty memoer is added to the broadcas'ting staff. To both start off a nd supplem ent the program , the college will probably look to loca l talent in the Communications field. This includes area T. V. and radio stations, as well as newspapers and public relations firms. Next week we. will look at the a ctual curriculum requirements included in the proposal. The Communications major is alive· and well at_Wilkes College. .

Dr. Thomas Kelly, dean of · external affairs and chairman of the committee, r e ported that the committee ha s met a number of times in the past few weeks. During this time the com mittee has interviewed Dr. Kaska (as chairman of the Foreign Language and Literature Department), Dr. Fiester, Klaus flolm, associate professor of Th·e atre Arts, and ..,,-Al Groh, director of cultural activities. The committee has also held two sessions with five students majoring in English and concentrating in Theatre Arts who are very active in productions at the theatre. Dr. Kelly explained that the purpose of these interviews was to obtain the various feelings and attitudes . of some of the eo le who are direct! involved with or related to the theatre in regard to the following organizational options: -Should the college put monE}y into the program? -Should the theatre departme nt be under the jurisdiction of the English? -Is it feasible that the theatre department should or could become a part of other departments on campus? -Should the theatre department combine · efforts with King's? According to Kelly, "Up until this point it has been a data gathering approach; now we're reviewing the data a nd delibera ting the options." The Dean stated that "We recognize tha t we have a really fine facility and we hope the college moves toward a decision that will truly complement the facility ." Kelly also noted that the President requested ·that the com mittee "keep in mind the economic factors as well as the liberal arts education philosophy." The chairman elaborated on this by saying that the intention of the theatre' s facilities is to serve all of the students on campus;therefore, the com mittee must consider some of the consequences of institutionalizing a program designed specifically for training students in an acting carreer. Kelly reported that the com mittee will submit a recom mendation to President Capin.

The downstairs section could be used for people who do not want to "disco" or just want to listen to another type of m·usic while partyi ng. I am aware of the theft of the sound system of the SUB which might hinder this. Possibly a system could be supplied by the organization sponsoring the party. On the other hand, no person can object to having a fair amount of time devoted to each type of music. I see no signs posted before the party reading "Disco Only," so why does it have to be? Without a survey, i can, he pretty confident that a se!f[Ilent of our student body is g(!tting somewhat tired of disco. To this, I am not reluctant to sign my name and would be happy to discuss ( or challenge) any student on this point. Respectfully Submitted, Joseph A Gray To The Editor: This letter deals with the parties held recently in the SUB. Please do not misconstrue these words, for this is not a savage attack on our disco lovers of Wilkes College. I do respect their tastes and talents even tho ugh I do not keep a stack of Dorina Summer albums handy or have John Tra vol ta pasted all over my walls. I am not asking to have our disco · program abandoned here at the college. I realize people come from many backgrounds with their own style, but why is there not a th.orough mix of music at the parties"!• I have been present at the four SUB parties so far this semester and must say disco dominates the evening. I am even a good sport and will attempt to . dance. However, Rock and Roll or Bluegrass music is not dead! Please do not show ignorance and say these types of music cannot be danced to.

ONCE A NEGATIVE OPINION IS FORMED IT .IS USUALLY VERY HARD TO CHANGE IT EVEN WHEN IT IS NO LONGER JUSTIFIED. THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE RADIO STATION, WCLH, WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO SOME UNDESERVED CRITICISM. THE STATION HAS COME A LONG WAY AND HAS NOW EARNED RECOGNITION, AS A CLASS RADIO PROGRAM. ADMITTEDLY THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, BUT WHAT ORGANIZATION CAN CLAIM THAT IT HAS REACHE:0 ITS FULL POTENTIAL? SERVE RESPECT FROM ALL AREAS OF THE COLLEGE AND SHOULD RECEIVE SUPPORT, . ENCOURAGEMENT, AND HIGHER PRIORITY IN THE COLLEGE' BUDGET IN ORDER TO AL. LOW IT GROW AND IMPROVE. IF THE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM IS TO BECOME A VIABLE PART OF. THE CURRIC\... ULUM, THEN THE RADIO STATION MUST BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PROGRAM. A New Method Needed sos ISurvivor of Skynrd) Colone~Mascot Cheered To the Editor: My compliments to "The Colonel" during the recent King's-Wilkes basketball game at .our gym. He, whoever he was, added color and excitement to the game. Someone should look into the possibility of. having a Cold' nel for all the basketball games, and football, wrestling and baseball events too. I was, however, displeased with the actions of Athletic Director John Reese, who forced "'The Colonel" to sit down during the game. I understand that_ / Reese was only trying to keep the place from turning into a riot, but I believe "The Colonel" could have maintained the colorful cheering in front of the Wilkes cheering section, and nothing woul_d have happened. 1 I wond~r if "The Colonel" would have been stopped if he was at a Penn State:Wilkes ' wrestling match? But, · then again, wrestling matches are not as ex.d ting as that basketball game with King's College. Cheerfully yours, Bad Company Slaue Auction Par'ty Successful THE STATION MEMBERS DE- VACANT SEATS ON STUDENT GOVERNMENTAL BODIES HAVE BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM THIS SErilESTER.A TOTAL OF 13 SEATS WERE OPEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER ON . STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND COMMUTER COUNCIL ALONE. ) ACCORDING TO THE SG CONSTITUTION, "SHOULD ANY STUDENT GOVERNMENT REP' RESEN'.}'ATIVE CLASS POSITION FALL VACANT, THE CLASS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WORKING WITH PUBLICITY AND ELECTIONS COMMI'ITEE TO FILL THE VACANCY." WE DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AF AIR WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE SITUATION THE .JUNIOR CLASSNOW FACES. OTHER SG MEMBERS MUST BE ELECTED BY THE STUDENTS THEY REPRESENT, BlJT THE APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVES ARE SPARED THIS EFFORT. THIS IS FINE IF THE NUMBER OF VACANCIES EQUALS THE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES, WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE. HOWEVER, IN THE CASE' OF' THE JUNIOR CLASS THERE ARE MORE CANDIDATES THAN VACANCIES. To the editor: I would like to publicly commend the members of the Wilkes · A.F.R.0.T.C. on a n exceptional job running the Sia ve Auction Party in the SUB last Friday night. From a general consensus at the party, I found that the complaints, if any, were minimal. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves! Hoping to possibly better the parties in the future, I made a few observations why this one went so well:: 1) A successful advance ticket sale was held; 2) There was a well staffed bar, enough beer, and munchies ( soda was also available); 3) There was sufficient time for dancing with relatively non-stop music; and most importantly, 4) There was an inno·v ative ACTIVITY that all could participate in. ( By this I mean something other than drinking and dancing.) I'm sure that those , who watched the slave auction enjoyed it, and would agree with me that we peed more of these innovative e~ents to "_spice up" the activity and gice some life to IN A CASE SUCH AS THIS WE FEEL THAT A GENERAL ELECTION IS THE BEST-SOLUTION the well-known "dead" SUB parAGREED, AN ELECTION WILL TAKE TIME, BUT SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD WEEK OF THE ties. It is my hope that other camSEMESTER AND THE POSITIONS ARE STILL OPEN, TIME CAN HARDLY BE CONSIDERED A pus organizations will take note of this successful function and VALID EXCUSE. continue to make an effort to improve our campus life. We SINCE A SEAT IN ANY STUDENT ORGANIZATION IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, WE can't rely on anyone else at Wilkes to do this for us; THE SUGGEST THAT SG CONSIDER AN ALTERNATf: METHOD TO BE USED IN THE FUTURE TO.

ANAG£R . OR OWNER I • �February 1, 1979, The Beacon, Page 5 PartTwo--------------Ta ene its of CampusFraternitie inted ..Entertainment The Complete Cultural Events Calender For liberal Arcs Students January-May,1979 Last week's discussion of the social life at Wilkes produced the idea of one possible means of improvement: Fraternities. The plan this week is to develop the idea as fuHy as possible, then see what happens. Let's begin by taking a look at the overall .benefits of fra'ternities. First, it would undoubtedly produce more unity within the residence hall. Second, fraternities would. promote better upkeep and cleanliness in the dorms since the occupants would have a greater degree of pride in their organization. Third, it would attract 'prospective students. Fourth, fraternities would lead to a more exciting social life for all Wilkesstudents, both resident and commuter. These are, of course, only a few of the basic benefits to be derived from the fraternity concept. But. .. benefits are worthless without an operative plan. So on to plan two. The layout - - - of our campus appears ideai for fraternities. The New Men's Dorm serves as the center point with the other residence halls branching out around it. Therefore, New Men's Dorm could serve ideally as the residence for all first year studentf as well as other students not wishing to participate in the fraternity. One outside dorm, perhaps Miner Hall, could house those wishing to live in an outside dorm, but not in a fraternity . . That leaves Bedford, Slocum, Denison and Gore Halls as possible fraternity sites. Bedford is at present the closest thing we have to a fraternity, so ask any of its occupants about the benefits. They could probably make the transition in about two hours. Slocum, Denison and Gore Halls would soon follow. However, the overall · transition would be gradual. Dorm members would meet to discuss the fraternity policy which they would adopt, and select leaders. Each dorm would in time come to represent different ideals. The transition would be gradual in that spots in the fraternity hall would not open up until graduation ( or whatever) of students presently in the hall. . Near the end of the school year freshmen would apply to the fraternity which they ~s~ to join. Frat members could then select members according to the policy they adopted, just like any other fraternity at any other college. Unfortunately, the frater,nity idea may never get farther than this page. Then again, there is the chance that, someone, after reading this, will pick up on the idea. I can hear it now: "No Mom, I ~on't --- be home this weekend - there's too much going on!" Ed VanBuren Beat·r tce Hawley and Jack Hardie to Read Writer-in-residence Bea trice Hawley and faculty member Jack Hardie will present a public reading of their works Monday, Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. in ·the li.brary. Ms. Hawley will read from her new book Nothing is Lost ( soon to be released , by Apple-wood Press) and from ·her first collection, Makin,; the House Fall THE HUT Now ·at The Hampt.on Corners Corner of S. Main Northampton Sts. & Hoagies& , Sandwiches of all Kinds Down (Alice James Books). A Choice reviewer calls Making the House Fall Down "an excellent first book," a demonstration of her "originality and essential humanity." Her poems have appeared in such literary magazines as Ploughshares, Zeugma, Hierophant, and The Little Review. Born in Italy, Hawley !fas degrees from the Lycee Chateaubriand (Rome) and Brandeis University. She has taught creative writing in Upward Bound programs, university classrooms, and has conducted poetry workshops for women in prison. In 1975 she received Brandeis' Egene Warren Poetry Award, and in 1976 was selected to be a scholar at the Breadloaf Writers' Conference. As writer-in-residence this spring at Wilkes, she works with student writers individually, an<i also teaches an intensive poetry workshop. Jack Hardie is Pennsylvania-born and educated, having attended Plymouth High School, Wilkes College, and Temple University, where· he is currently a candidate for the Ph.D. At Wilkes he •,eaches composition and creati writing courses in the Depa •ent of Language and Liten His writing has appeared in College English, Quartet, Journal of Modern Literature, and other periodicals. Hardie will read from his book in progress, Jacks. Both Hawley and Hrdie are essentially lyric poets. They write about personal experience with strong imagery, using simple language, mostly in the rhythms of everyday speech. Such poems are to read aloud. Monday's performance is the . second of nine this semester, sponsored by Wilkes College and the National Endowment for the Arts. 1st Annual-Before and After GROUNDHOG'S DAYSALE!!!

Theteam'sonlylosswastothe defending MAC champions from Scranton University last Thursday. However, Scranton, a team which has to be considered one . of the best teams in the East, had its hands full when it came to the Franklin St. gym. Wilkes, with less depth and height and financial incentive, played on pride, and came within ten points of the Lay Royals. Only a shaky start prevented the Colonels from upsetting the U, for after the first few minutes when Wilkes fell behind by ten, the game was a pretty even match. Diane Kendig, Debbie and Lynn Yedlock, and Mary Jo Frail all scored in double figures, with 28, 13, 11, and 10 points respectively. Debbie also pulled down 11 rebounds. The Lady Royals' ten-point vict.Qry- was regarded as a "moral victory" for the Colonels and as Coach Sandy Bloomberg put it, "I feel as if we won the game." Two days after that "loss," Delaware Valley came to Wilkes-Barre supposedly to avenge a loss in last year's MAC tournament, which the Aggies hosted. But Wilkes wasn't about to let a Parents' Day game go for nought, as Del Val went home on the snort side of a 75-57 scor e. Diane Kendig scored a r ecordhigh 41 points and also snatched 12 steals, a nd Mary Jo Frail was again the Colonels' field general, cr eating scoring opportunities for her teammates a nd popping in some ~ -footers herself.

This decision was reached by the Board of Trustees at its December meeting. Conygnham Building, on South River Stree between the Annette Evans Faculty House and the Congynham f;i.cade, wa~ donated to the college two years ago. Until now it has stood vacant and unused, and at first was in danger of being razed. r, ANewLife However, the college's $2.4 million Alpha campaign has given the building new life, since the provision of a new Student Union Building is one of the campaign's major goals. Originally the new SUB facilities were to be constructed in the Carriage House behind the Conyngham Building. -But, according to President Robert Ca pin, the college architect,,--looked at the campus land use and felt that the Carriage House was located in such a manner that it would block a proposed "greenway" in the overall campus picture, especially if a new women's dorm were constructed on Northampton Street. Thinking of long-range college plans, the architect and administration felt that the Conyngham Building would be a better asset to the college, since it is a major structure on South River Street, has enormous architectural appeal, and is already an integral part of the campus. On the other hand, the Carriage House is "buried." Two Plans Proposed The architect was given permission to see if the program planned for the Carriage Houst was a physically and economically viable one for the main building. He came up with two plans--one involving an addition to the building and the second making use only of the available space, but providing for possible future growth. The first was deemed cost-prohibitive, but the second was 1pproved by the Board. (Floor plans for the project are on p. ·2.) The project cost is expected to be approximately $350,000. A $100,000 grant obtained via the Alpha campaign from the Pew Foundation ( specifically · the Glenmede Trust, originating from th~ Sun Oil Co.) is already in hand and $50,000 in pledges Registrar Opts Not to Resign In a supl\'ise announcement, President .Robert S. Ca pin announced January 10th at the President's Co'llncil meeting that Mrs. Doris Barker, Registrar, will not . resign as planned and stay on for one more year. Barker handed m her resignation at the erid of last semester to be effective in N{ay. She cited her reasons as personal. When asked " ·hy Barker changed her mind she said that President Capin had asked her to stay on. She will take the s~mmer off but has agreed to c~me back next year.

Jan. 1, • Feb. 4, 1979 sat urdays 10·5 . sundays 1-5 d aily 1-5 th ursdays 6·9 Faculty contract renewals became an issue over semester break, as it was revealed that both Wilkes basketball coaches . have not been rehired. Coaches Rodger Bearde and Sandra Bloom berg, both assistant professors of physical education and hygiene, · were. informed in December that their contracts would not be renewed for 1979-80 due to tenure decisions. According to President Robert Capin, most non-tenured faculty members come up for contract renewal each year before December 15, the date when all contract decisions must be made. Department chairmen are normally contacted before that date and asked to review budgets, faculty, and student enrollment. Tenure a Fact.or "In reviewing contract renewals," said Capin, "timing for tenure decisions must be considered. You must say to yourself that one thing to consider is the number of people in their sixth, seventh, or eighth year who are subject to contract renewal according to Wilkes College policy. Is it fair to the person and the institution to continue their employment and then tell them they can't have tenure?" He claimed that Wilkes tries to make a tenure decision before a faculty member goes beyond the seventh year of employment. ( Wilkes is currently censured by the American Association of University Professors ( AAUP), reportedly because has allowed people to remain at the college longer than seven years without having tenure.) · Considerations Listed When a person is up for review prior to contract renewal, according to the president, the following points must be considered: L What are the needs of the institution in the department... 2. What is the future enrollment pattern ... 3. What is the percentage of tenured faculty members in the department.. . "If a person has been here for, say ten years," Capin commente'd, "and his chances of getting tenure are nill, it is in the best interest of the individual to say, 'maybe the time is now for you to make a new life for yourself." · Reportedly this was the situation faced by both Bearde and Bloomberg, who had eight and seven years of employment behind them . Capin noted that although a tenure decision for them may have been three or four years down the road, the fact that they have already been at Wilkes at least seven years complicates the issue for them, and agencies such as · 20 fh T raph y 1n • .Md.-- ~tr;_.

Review Required Although the procedure for evaluating faculty members up for tenure involves action by the department chairman, tenure and promotion committee, academic dean, president, faculty member, and ultimately, the board of trustees, contract renewal evaluation involves only a department chairman!s review and consultation with the administration to discuss college needs, economy, and faculty qualifications. · According to Capin, the department chairman is "required to sit down with _the faculty member to review his evaluation and recommendation. The faculty member _must initial the form and can disagree with the review and attach an addendum ." · Was it Signed? Athletic Director John Reese confirmed that he must com plete a written review and have it signed by the faculty member. However, both Bearde and Bloomberg say they never even saw the evaluation, much less signed it. In comm enting on the general situation, Reese indica ted that he felt "the timing was really terrible for the coaches and the teams." He said he regretted that the decision was made public nea.._. the beginning of the basketball season, and also emphasized that the decision was simply an unfortunate combination of conflicting tenure policies and economics, and had nothing to do with performanc e. "All done fine jobs" "They've all done fine jobs/' commented Reese. "We are very much ·pleased with all of them. I'd just as soon have all three ( Bearde, Bloom berg, and Gay Meyers) tenured, but that wa's n' t possible." ( Meyers has beenrecommended for tenure.) As for the future of the basketball program as it pertains to the coaches, Reese said, ",We'll have to play it by ear. Hopefully we'll be able to hire two full-time people. If not, we'll have to go to part-time coaches, which I don't think is fair to the kids or good for the program." . Wilma Hurst Nursing Parking Permits Create Problem for JDC IDC' s first meeting of the new semester saw a continuation in the discussion of the ever-present Wilkes College parking prob-- · !ems. Nursing majors seeking parking permits are the biggest problem because of the large number of permits they are requesting. IDC, along with all those non-nursing majors _who also need parking space, are stressing that the number of nurse-requested parking spaces are too many to accomodate, and are therefore TO ALL WILKES COLLEGE STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR COLLEGE WORK STUDY: -If you are interested in tut.oring in the Act 101-0peration Phoenix Program, contact the tut.or coordinat.or at Ross Hall, Ext. 389.

February 16 is the date set for the annual Valentines Party, whic.h is being sponsored by IDC and CC. One issue discussed was whether the event should be held on or off campus. Since capacity at most places off-campus is usually limited to 500 people, a suggestion was made fo have the party in the gym, which can easily hold a majority of the student population. IDC is also checking out th.e possibility of a " bring-your-ownbottle" affair, but college rules state that alcohol is not allowed in "academic buildings." The question is wh ether or not the gym is considered a n academic building. According to IDC, a majority of the students polled by the Co-ed committee a re in favor of co-educationa l dorm s.

Conference for Research Students Beacoa Will Tackle Tenure Issue To the editor: We are writing in reference to the Eastern Colleges Science Conference which is held every year during the Spring semester. This conference gives students who have done research in the science fields a chance to present their findings in the form of seminars. The seminars are scheduled over a three day period - the length of the conference. This year the conference will be held at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, on March 29, 3>, and 3L We are hopeful that a delegation might be sent from Wilkes College consisting of students who are interested in observing the activities, although not presenting seminars. In this way, we may provide support for our own representatives presenting their research, while being able to get first-hand look at the kinds of research being done at our neighboring colleges and universities. The cost per person will be approximately $25. Anyone with questions about the conference itself should see their department chairperson for more information.

Second, enrollment is dropping. Whether or not these two factors are related is up to you to decide. However, I'm sure everyone will agree that an improved social life couldn't hurt· enrollment. We'll begin our examination with a look at dormitory life. Once again a few facts emerge. These facts, by the way, are looked upon as serious problems by both administrative and student leaders. First off, there is the problem of a lack of pride in the dormitory in which a student resides. I should mention that these problems are for the most part characteristic of the men's dormitories. Second, there is the problem of destruction and a lack of cleanliness in the dorms. The third, and perhaps most important problem lies in the abscence of " togetherness" in the halls. Seldom does a dorm function truly as a group, since most students look at their residence hall as merely a place to live. It has ·gotten to the point where R .A's are required to conduct a set number of social · functions between dorms in an effort to alleviate some of the problem. Some of you, in a true moment of insight, may have already guessed my proposed solution to these problems. Fraternities. Already I can sense the echoes of "can't be done" . echoing through administrative halls. I'm sure that the idea could present a few problems in the beginning. But, I sincerely believe that the benefits of such a n idea would far outweigh any of the problems. Since I've already gotten pretty far into this week' s article, I'll save an examination of the fraternity idea for next week. Let's leave this week with the idea that dormitory life is a problem for which fraternities may be the solution.

Nationally_ Known Poet To Give Reading Of Works Robert Bly, nationally known poet and winner of the National Book Award, will visit the campus this Monday, January 29th, to meet with students and give a public reading from his works. The reading takes place a t 8: 30 P.M. in SLC 101. The special power of Bly' s poetry opens new lines of communication between the " outward man" a nd the " inward man." In his book The Light Around the Body, Bly quotes the m ystic· J a kob tloehm e--" according to the outward man, we are in this world, and according to the inward man, we are in the inward world.. . Since then we are generated out of both worlds, we speak in two languages and we must be understood also by two languages." Bly's poetry speaks both languages. The inward world and the outward world involve one another in supervising ways. Bly moves from vivid, realistic descriptions of the natural world, to intense, spiritu'al, sometimes surreal visions of inner being. Ordinary things reveal their s piritual life in Bly' s new world.

Colonel Cla ssic" basketball tourney held over the break. Wilkes downed Pharmacy in a close game and advanced to the finals, only to fall to power Hartwick College. On the right for Wilkes is soph Mike McCarrie. who was named to the All-Tourney team. ( SPORTFOLIO .... JOHN ZAPKO Everytime Wilkes plays a basketball game, John Zapko's name is plastered all over the sports pages. So why write another article about him? The answer is so simple that many people tend to overlook it. Although, we have watched John Zapko play excellent ball for over three years now, no one ever took the time to tell us what John was like as a person. His stats tell us he is one of Wilkes's top players this season and maybe ever. But they neglect to tell us ·what makes him tick, what he thinks and feels. John lives in Fairless Hills, Pa., which is on the north-east side of Philadelphia. His decision to come to Wilkes was based opn several reasons. First, his high school was very large with his graduating class numbering 1,200. The college's small size appealed very much to him and the financial help, little as it may be, from basketball, helped ,defray the costs a bit. Last but not least; John was very impressed by the helping attitude shown by those he came in contact with during his visit. John started out as a biology major, but changed to business administration after finding out he did not like all the work. Being a senior, John anticipates getting out, but as with any other · senior, is not sure just what he will be doing. If nothing else comes up, he might be able to enter a management training program at the steel.mill where his father works. John's personality is what you would call low-key. He likes to spend time enjoying the company of his good . friends, but besides that, he does not get involved in many clubs or organizations. He says, "Being active in campus affairs is up to the individual. Some pe~ple join student government because they see things that can be changed. I say let them change what they want, but that sort of thing is not for me." ) John does not think the college has changed that much in the four years he has been here except maybe concerning · the types of parties. " When I was a freshman," he says, " par ties were all over the campus. E very dorm had their little party. Now, . they have become more centralized with everybody going to the same one." I asked John what does he see himself doing ten years from now. "I guess by then I'll be married with two or three kids. I hope I have the kind of job that will enable me and my family to live in comfort. I guess I have the typical middle class desires, as long as there is lots of old fashion love around." What advice would you give a freshman? "I see lots of people drop out of school because they want to go everywhere. They get - influenced by crazy thoughts of other people. The biggest thing would be to do your own thing and not follow others for the sake of something to do. Avoid groups that do not do anything except party. College_ means_ getting good grades as well as having a good time. Do not complain about having too much . work to do, just face it and do it." To finish up let me say this. Sports is playing a larger role in all most everyone's life these days. It is a shame but it has come to the point that some athletes center their entire life around a certain sport. They lose perspective of what their real personality is and their sports behavior. The sad part about this is that once their athletfc days are over their field manners can not blend into social settings. Why bring this up? Because it is a pleasure to see an athlete, no matter how good he is, to be able to keep a proper perspective about sports and life in general. John Zapko is such a person. -The more power to him.

Billig,Densberger Most Impressive The Wilkes College wrestling team carried an 8-4 record into the big Penn State meet this past Tuesday. If the Wilkesmen came home from State College at 9-4 it's "Fantastic," but if their 8-5 it should be accepted. Needless to say Penn State i! bigger than Wilkes; but on the mats - it is a toss-up. It would probably be on the football field too. Last year, PSU turned back the upset-minded Colonels 30-6, but the grapplers had vengence on their minds this season. To be competing with Penn State is a victory in itself for WIikes College and John Reese. The 26-year mentor is a 1951 grad of Penn State and has built the Wilkes mat program to what it is today. The Wilkes team creeped into the MAC in the 1946-47 season and arose to be champs in 1957. Several titles and accomplishments later, Reese left the small-time to go Divison I and now is able to contend with some schools like Penn State. Wilkes has picked up wins over over York 48-0, Yale 23-17, Navy 21-19, Tennessee 29-18, Boston University 34-6, Del Val 35-15, Montclair 23-11, and South. tonn. 26-18, this season, while falling to Lehigh 29-10, North Carolina 18-17, Clemson 2'2--20, and Syracuse 27-15. · Two Colonel wrestlers have already passed major milestones and it's only mid-.season. Bryan Billig, a soph from New Tripoli, Pa., defeated an NCAA and national freestyle · champion in Montclair's Ken Mallory. The Blue and Gold stalwart not only upset the 134-pound stud, but he also caused him to stall. Mallory wrestled Billig's type match and the Wil_k esman proved his "Back-yard Style" was best. Billig carried a 11-2 slate into the Penn State match. Colonel 158 pound grappler Mark Densberger, Danville, is currently the only Wilkes grappler with an undefeated record and he received national rankings of 8th and 7th respectively in the past two editions of ' Amateur Wrestling News. Mark has a 12-0-1 slate and leads the team in points with 41. Wilkes co-captains Casper Tortella and Alex Grohol have beeri wrestling backj to back at 142 and 150 pounds. Tortella shows a 10-1 record with his only loss coming to Syracuse's Tim Catalfo, who Tortella had beaten before. Grohol is 10-1-1 and his consistency has helped the Colonels to victory many times. Rick Smith, a junior from Walden, Vt., is Wilkes strong 190 pounder and recently dropped to 177 class since Bart Cook was having trouble making weight. Cook a junior from N.J., has been troubled with an elbow injury. Reese hopes to have Cook back before February so he can get some matches under his belt before Easterns. Smith is 10-4 and adds to the Colonel strong finale along with post-grad Danny House at heavyweight. House is 10-2 and will be shooting for a place-finish in the top three in the EIWA tourney next month. . Todd Ferrara, a freshman from Farmingdale, N.Y. has been wrestling in the 118 pound category for the injured Ed Johnson. The Colonel yearling has been doing a respectable job, better than his 2-4 slate· indicates. Johnson is expected back for the Lycoming meet Saturday. Bill Dodge, a soph from Va., was wrestling behind Billig, but since Billig moved up . to 134, Dodge has seen some action. He was undefeated in three varsity meets. Gene Waas, another top freshman, is 5-2-2. Also wrestling at 134 and winning two of them was junior Bob Gaetano of Mt. Top. Dan Miner and Joe Gray are doing the job at 167. Gray is 1-1 and freshman Rick Gaetano is 5-5 at the 177 spot. Several All-Americans from across the nation were among the 366 contestants which turned out for the prestigious Rose Bowl of Wrestling held at the Wilkes Gym on Dec. 28 and 29. Clarion State waltzed away with it's seventh straight team title, amassing 73.5 points and crowning two individual champs. Only two ·Blue and Gold matmen were plac·e winners in the most competitive event of the decade. Mark Densberger took fourth in the 158, while Dan House took third at HWT. Densberger faced All-American and returning champ Bill Smith of Morgan State and fell short of a 6-4 bout, due to a takedown with one second left. House posted a 9-6 decision in the consolations. Wilkes will host Elizabethtown at 8: 00 at the Wilkes Gym tonight and then travel to Lycoming eollege Saturday. The Colonels are favored in both meets, but the squads are Division III. Looking ah~ad, Binghamton State will be in town on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 8: 00.

The women's basketball team could almost adopt it as its theme song, for it sure tells the story of the perplexing prob!ems plaguing players. Not that the Blue and Gold haven't been winning. Their record currently stands at 5-4, and •includes some impressive wins. The bad luck has to do with players--or ratJ\.er, the lack of them. Coach Sand Bloomberg ' ' · her the three have helped fill the gaps left by Farrell, McHale, and Freda. . The Colonel's offensive punch thus far this season has been either explosive or non-existent, and Coach Bloomberg is looking for continuity and fluidity. As the players again become acquainted with one another's style and depth ceases to be a prob!em, that should come. Already offense is looking better, and the cagers were actually applauded for their outstanding passing exhibition in a recent game. Defense has been fairly strong, especially with the quickness of the guards, and although the Colonels are not blessed with height, the forwards ui,ually hold their own or do better when it comes to rebounding. The "Board Sisters," . Debbie and Lynn Yedlock have been the leading rebounders, and Lynn especially has come on during the past few games. Since the last issue in Decemher, the cagers defeated Marywood 72-67 at the losers' court.

Looking for First Win The Wilkes College swimming team is still in search for its first win of the season. The tank team· most recently fell to Swarthmore 55-47 at the King's College swimming complex. In the close meet, which was the first between Wilkes and Swarthmore, there were many highlights for our Colonels. Perry Lichtinger and Valarie VanDyke placed first and second in both the required and optional diving events. Team captain Jim Edwards placed first in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2: 47.4. Freshman Michelle Maguire, out of Meyers High took a first in the 200 yard butterfly with a clocking--of 2:31.1. ' Edwards also placed second in both the 200 free and 100 yard freestyle events. Another first place finish was scored by the 400 yard freestyle relay team of Liz Hendrixson, Claire Holden, Megan Caverly, and Alan Shaw. Scoring additional points for Wilkes were Rob Doty in the 200 individual medley, John Moffatt in the 200 yard backstroke, and Michele Maguire in the 500 freestyle. The Wilkes swimmers will travel to Western Maryland on Saturday and then to Williamsport to meet Lycoming on Feb. 3.

Three key players are sidelined with various and sundry injuries just when the team is entering the heart of the season. Mary Jean Farrell has been out since the opening game, Kathy McHale may be out all season, and Sue Freda is inactive as well. All three are guards, the one p~sition that had a wealth of depth at the beginning of the season. Fortunately, there is some good news. Three new players, including a highly-recruited 1000-point scorer, have been added, and all are contributing to the team effort. Freshman Ellie Adams transferred from Lock Haven this semester and joined hockey stars Pam Snyder and LEADING SCORER-Diane Kendig, last year's MVP, is again the Colonel's outstanding player this year.

With two players fouled out, and two injured teammates keeping stats in the stands, she sank two pressure free throws to cap the win. Then came the nightmare of the winter sports coaches--semester break. Back just in time to host the Lettepyomen Holiday Tournament( dedicated to Correen Santoro), Wilkes placed a disappointing third. They lost once more to King's after an administrativ_e disaster had the Monarchs threatening not to show up. Wilkes' enthusiasm deflated like a leaky balloon, and the game was equally flat, as the Blue and Gold lost 8'2-59. But, as President Capin said, "The mark of a truly good team is to come back after a bad game and win the next." The cagers did just that, with a squeaky 60-59 victory over Drew the next day. Matywood, who lost to Wilkes just a month before, had an equally exciting game against King's and emerged as tournament champions. King's Kandi Karuza came away with MVP award for offense, and Wilkes' Diane Kendig and Lynn Yedlock shared defensive honors. The tournament was intended to tune up the teams prior to the start of the second half of the season. What it did in Wilkes' case was point out a few weaknessess and the need for more organization in the offense and the 1-2-2 full-court press. After a few days of practice, the Colonels took on Albright and showed that practice does make perfect, as they had an easy time in the 56-36 win. Fast passes, timely cuts, and rebounds all came their way, and the cagers seemed to coast through most of the game. A real test for the team would have been Saturday against Upsala, who has provided Wilkes with two heart-stopping games in-;.. as ma_ny years, but bad ,. weather forced postpqnement of the game. Tuesday at home the Blue and Gold enjoyed another big win over Keystone, trouncing the Giants 83-57. Diane Kendig scored ·a seasonhigh 34 points in leaaing the Colonel attack, and also snatche<,i tire ball away a record 11 times. The win was Wilkes' third straight, and puts. the Colonels' record at 5-4. The squad mets an extremely tough Scranton University team tonight at home and is looking for an upset over the Lady Royals. Saturday is Parents' Day, as Delaware Valley will come to Wilkes-Barre, hoping to avenge its loss to Wilkes in the MAC tournament last year.

This is the first in a two-part process that can lead to accredit.ation by the Com mision on lnstitu• tions of Higher Education. The College is now an• a lyzing its own educational resources and effectiveness by reviewing every major aspect of program, governing and supporting structures, resources and services, and educational outcomes. .. Special Committee A special group of administrators, faculty, ::.nd students has been divided into six committees: Steering; Goa,ls, Outcome, and Program; Students and Student Life; Teaching; Faculty and Govern• ance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. The Steering Committee, chaired by President Robert Ca pin, is charged with the responsibility to plan and o~rsee the entire self-study project. Dr. James Rodechko chairs the Goals, Outcome a nd Program Committee, which is in charge of outlining the philosophical st.ance of Wilkes, while Students and Student Life, headed by Dr. Les Turoczi, is examining the admissions policy and student servic es. The Teaching Committee, led by Dr. Samuel Merrill, is responsible for analyzing the quality of instruction offered at the College. Faculty and Governance, chaired by Dr. David Leach, is exa mining the policies related to faculty em ployment as well as the governance of the institution, and Organizational Resources and Finance, headed by Dr. Andrew Shaw, is reviewing the College's facilities and resources. be_ made in Apri_l, and the complete study will be ed1te_d and submitted to the president in June, and to Middle St.ates in July. A team of experienced academ,ic colleagues from other institutions will visit the campus next fall to eva luate the self-study in light of the facts as they see them , and to give Wilkes their views on the validity of that self-analysis. The Commission then examines the self-study document, the evaluation team's report, and Wilkes' formal response before deciding whether or not to award accredit.ation. Institutions such as Wilkes must undergo this process, which usually lasts at least a year, every ten years. Completion Date June All committees began working in October, and a re required to submit interim reports to the Steering Committee in January. Final reports will Last Accreditation in 1970 The College was last granted accredit.ation in 1970. A report submitted by two observers on the Middle States evaluation team included the opinion cont. on p.4 Wilkes-King's Unite In Theatrical Effort_ * has no Theater Arts major at present, a Due to the fact that Wilkes theatrical cooperative program has been established with King's College, enabling both schools to enhance intercollegiate productions. The' respective schools have contributing factors that compliment one another; while King' s offers an advanced theater arts major, it· lacks an appropriate facility for stage productions. On the other hand, Wilkes provides only a concentration in Theater Arts, but has available an outst.anding theater complex, the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The Wilkes Board of Trustees has made a mandate of this cooperative program between the two schools, hoping to a void a duplication of services in this particular curriculum. According to President Capin, unlike many of the other co-op programs between Wilkes and King's, the Theater Arts Department had no significant problems arise in the initial production. A spirit of cooperation was prevalent throughout the event, despite the participation of two different institutions. Since there has been a good attitude in the co-op theater production, the possibility of a cooperative study program in Theater Arts is being considered as an alternative to improving the Wilkes Theater Arts curriculum. This choice would save a large amount of money by reducing the number of instructors needed, although students would have to travel a greater dist.ance to attend classes and may lose some of their identity with Wilkes. A second alternative under consideration, according to President Ca pin, is the separation of the Theater .Arts studies from the English Department. This would ent.ail hiring another professor, thus increasing costs. "Before making the final decision," said President Capin, "I must consider the number of students being serviced and a pply a vailable resources as economically as possible." Barring unusual circ umst.ances, he believes that although he will hire someone for the Theater Arts Department by the fall of 1979, he must rec oncile a declining enrollment with an increasing st.aff. · , Under the present system, a student wishing to pursue a curriculum in Theater Arts must major in English initially, with a concen· tration in Theater Arts. Courses offered in theatrical studies are listed in the Wilkes College Bulletin, but many have not been taught for the past several years. President Capin feels the College should be prepared to actually teach these courses if the school is to in° crease enrollment in the future. He also believes that Wilkes loses a considerable number of applicants due to the lack of an established Theater Arts program. Although this department has a staff of only two (Klaus Holm and Alfred Groh), it will continue to present three or four productions per year. By improving the Theater Arts program, it is hoped that a greater number of productions will be made possible. This is import.ant because it is through the theater that the school est.ablishes a reputation in the public eye. However, although the school's prominence is important, President Capin concluded by asserti ng that the prim ary concern is a quality education for the student.

All committees have adequate chairman who are getting the job done. Homecoming was a big success thanks to Sharon Manganiello and Gerry D' Albis, Home comi ng Co-Chairmen . ( D' Albis didn't hold that title officially, but he did more than enough work to deserve the cre dit.) Everything ran smoothly and fell right into place. The film committee, headed by Ross Mantione, has done a comendable job in presenting a wide selection of films and in dea ling with projectors that break down. Marla Brodsky, social committee chairman, has had a lot to deal with this pastsemester when ·considering the added responsibility given to her committee. Her committee is now in charge of the scheduling of all campus social events but because of some uncooperative orgainizations, parties, or social events end up competing against each other. Other than that Brodsky has high hopes for her committee and I'm sure they will be realized. The publicity and elections . and constitution committees have also completed their jobs successfully. SG Evaluations The academic committee .is definitely the most dedicated and hard working committee on SG and it is determined to get the SG teacher evaluation forms distributed, completed, · and published. This committee, which is headed by Julie Kent, consists of only one other member, Ross Mantione. It has had to deal with keeping the faculty _happy and ·aware of what is going on, seeking printing costs, finding an optical scanner to compile the data from the forms, and nonsupportive students. Even if the evaluation doesn't come off 100 percent successfully the evaluation is important and needed to keep the quality of education here at the College at a high level. Kent deserves a ton of praise Looking over this past semester and trying to fino significant accomplishments made by Student Government is like ·trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very few, if any, steps were taken to bring about cha nges in student life. The problem seems to stem from this year's executive council. Everyone is doing his job at an an acceptable level but that is not enough if SG is to accomplish anything. Steve Kirshner, SG president, rarely gives his opinion on anything and has a hard time keeping order at meetings. It appears that his main . concern is to run meetings quickly. One could say that according to Robert's Rules of Order a president of a body is not to give his opinion. Fine. This point is well-taken, but then Kirshner's problem is that he is obviously not delegating his authority properly. He has to come up with the ideas, goals, and directions of SG and get everyone working. WE know he has the potential to do this--otherwise we wouldn't have endorsed his candidacy-but so far he has shown himself to be not very effective. The rest of the executive council suffers much the same problem. Last year's executive council was a good one no matter what some people might say and accomplished a lot. This year's members are effective to a certain extent but as a whole they simply can't get the ball rolling for SG. Student Government consists of 26 members, but only a handful r eally take the job seriously. As a prime example, Monday night under committee reports, Marla Brodsky was giving her .wrap-up report for the semester for the social. committee.She . complained about the SG members who are on the committee and noted that the non-SG members were much more involved and active. She feels that being an SG represeritative means more than just attending weekly meetings .. .. How true this is. Routine Business As far as handling routine for her work and what makes it even more comendable is that she is not even a member of Student Government. People like her are desperately needed on SG. SG Members The SG body itself is composed mostly of ~tudents who are interested in Wilkes College but a re not willing to put any effort into making it better. This is not the case for all, as certain peopl e stand out and should be mentioned. They in cl ude Greg Black, Mike Barth, Dave Blumfield, Ross Mantione, Marla Brodsky, Joe Galli and Pat McNamara. (The freshmen have not been on the body long enough to make themselves known.) Student Government has got to get going if it wants to accom plish anything. Routine business is just not enough and is not progressive. D I think SG should take a look at its little brother, IDC, who has been lifting weights and is ready to take you on. Jim Edwards BIO FACULTY RETREAT HELD - Faculty members of the Biology Department held its " Second Annual Faculty Retreat" recently, t.o plan department functions and discuss future growth. " The purpose of this retreat," said Chairman Les Turoczi, "was t.o take care of current curricular matters, give faculty members a chance qi gather information and exchange ideas, and t.o plan the future growth of the department." He also commented that decisions pertaining t.o students in the department will be discussed with them .

SUB to Install Dance Floor At the last SUB meeting for this semester, a unamimous vote was taken by the board to install a dance floor on the firsHloor of the building. The floor is being installed by Nigel Gray and Tony D. at no cost to the SUB except for the finishing materials such as molding varnish. If the floor cannot be refinished, the SUB will either have linoleum installed or else purchase a portable floor which could be put up when needed. Whatever choice is made, the floor will be finished by the start of next semester for future parties held in the SUB. Director Bob Austin made it very clear that all refunds from machines will be available up to and including Thursday, Decem ber 7, with no refunds being given after this date. These refunds will not carry over until next semester, so students should pick them up as soon as possible. He also stated that many lost items such as jackets and keys a r e still in the SUB office. Austin continued that many items which students believe to be stolen could, in fact, have been left at a SUB party. He stressed that anyone missing articles should check with the SUB office or contact him at 826-0303. Patti Spatlow Peter Steve Gateway S....,..lng Center Kingston, Pa . 11704 211-1132 lllatNn.

According to many "returning" students, this year's IDC has demonstrated a "marked improvement" in the efficiency and responsiveness of fulfilling dorm students needs as well as initiating and supporting student related activities and poli<;ies. Says one R.A "this year' s IDC is so much better than before." Much of the credit for IDC's success thus far in the year deserves to go to IDC president Gary Toczylowski. Gary's unrelenting involvement in all a spects of student affairs along with his effective leadership has provoked a general increase in student sensitivity towards the Wilkes College community. He, · however , insists that " better communication" between IDC and the Housing Office has played an essential role in its success and acknowledges that IDC could never have been effective during the semester if it weren't for Housing Director Joe Marchetti. "They ~Housing Office) have given us valua ble advise and have been there whenever we needed them ..... they're great." ... MEXICAN SUB AnaIysi5 FABIAN' .e; f s ( O T T WOOD 'N WI KER U LE !

I hope the administrative side of our Wilkes College Family can see the savings of energy, and its expe nse · as insignificant in contrast to the opportunity it affords it's students. While I accept that the cost of keeping SLC lit for all hours must be phenomenal, so is the need for a n after hours place to study. This is evidenced by the fact that many nights in all of Stark an empty room cannot be found . With rega rd to the mess, I'm sorry to admit that occasion I've been less than tidy. ( While hardly reck less, I do tend to tard and spaz when finalizing.) Now with suc h an a lternative spelled out for us, ie. Stark .vs. no Stark, I hope we can all appriciate and respect the privledge allowed us there.

Phone: I ( from page 1) �········Pinball Now a Wilkes Craze••····· CC Analysis Once upon a time, pinball was a tacky game played by punks who hung out in seedy luncheonettes. Now it's a game for everyone. Machines are everywhere, including the Wilkes Student Union Building. Modernization of the sport includes computerized music selections, ramps and tunnels, double flippers, and all sorts of fancy gizmos designed to challenge even the most seasoned addicts. Psychologists claim the resurgence of pinball in the American society is due to increasing tension caused by the fast pace of the American lifestyle. Pinball is a form of relxation everyage group can enjoy. In any of its many forms, tht· game is fairly simple. The OJ►. erator has control of at least two flippers which are used to prevent the ball f-rom leaving the enclosed playing area. The thrill of being able to hit the ball in the direction of any of the electronic bumpers far surpasses the actual accumulation of points, although this is an important part of the game. The newest aspect of pinball has been the identification with well-known personalities,.. After rock singer Elton John played the role of the Pinball Wizard in the movie version of "Tommy," Bally, the largest pinball manufacturer, named a machine after him--Captain Fantastic. It has since become the biggest-selling machine in the country. Bally also plans to dedicate a machine to Hugh Hefner, the famous ·' Playboy" publisher. The craze is spreading to such a degree that parents are beginning to buy machines for their children, although the price of one machine can range from $000 for a home model to $1600 for a top-of-the-line machine. In some cases it seems to be a family's only common ground. In the SUB, a steady flow of students coming from a nd going to classes stops by tQ tr_y tll!illl December 7, 1978, The Beacon, Page 5 • Student Life Improved PINBALL WIZAltDS--Pinball is now a bona n,e recreation here on campus, and the Student Union Building is the center of the activity. The pinball machines can be heard ringing day and night, between classes [ and during classes], at lunch, and during SUB parties. on one of the eight available machines. It matters not whether one commutes or lives on campus; the machine makes no distinction. It is a balance -between gentleness and aggression, a nd if one lacks this touch, the machine has him beat. Oh, but what a high when you beat the machine! To hear the machine click off extra games is like music to the ears or money in the bank. Take your choice. Adult toys are what these machines are being called these days. Who would spend that kind of money for a kid? So, all of you "adults" out there, come and take out your frustrations on the little silver ball. Relax, unwind, but be careful. Too much aggression and you'll end up with the "TILT" message.

Early in the semester the council had a juke box installed in the Commons in response to requests to have some music in the building. They also sponsored several parties and events to help give the students some type of release from the pressures of college life. The council worked hard in the planning and execution of these events and put a great deal of time and effort toward making them enjoya hie for the students. The first all-Wilkes showing of "The Rocky Horror Show" was a success and was one of several events planned by CC, which did not serve alcoholic beverages. I beUeve that such events are a good· idea as they provide other outlets for enjoyment other drinking. However, I have heard many people complain that the council has not done "this or that." The fact is that CC is there to help you, the students, and you are the ones who must show them what you would like done.

If students are pleased - or displeased - with the workings of CC they should let the council know their feelings. I believe that the council is as good as the students make it, and it cannot help to solve probl1ms that are not brought to its attention . In my opinion CC has done a good job this semester, and with the student's help they can do an even better job next semester.

Pam played in five games and tallied a goal in the last one, and many field hockey experts felt out there, tha t if she had a little more speed, she could be a great one. Jerry Ann also played well and scored two goals in six games. She showed · the hustle that she is known for and it was noted that she just missed being picked to go on in the event. I'd like to take time to thank Coach Meyers for helping me all semester and wish her and her team the best of luck in the . future. Keep Smilin! ! ! Simon Kazinetz Women C·agers W-in First': · Face King's Today at 4 Women's basketball opened its sea son with two routs ( being the victim in one and the pei_:petrator in the other) , and one hard-fought, down-to-the-wire defeat. The result is a 1-2 record and a crucial ni'eeting with King's this afternoon. The season opener with powerhouse Lafayette was a frustrating 99-46 defeat, as Wilkes was simply outclassed. Although the cagers held an early lead, Lafayette soon took control and had relatively little trouble putting the game away. Diane Kendig, Sue Freda and Mary Jo Frail all turned in double figures, with 12, 10 and 10 points respectively, but rebounds were hard to come by, as Lafayette boasted three six-; foote r s. Wilkes also saw the loss of freshman guard. Mary Jean Farrell, who injured an ankle at the end of a successful fast break. Farrell may have activated a previous injury a nd is now in a cast for the remainder of the first half at lea st. Saturday marked the home opener for the Blue .arrd Gold, who played as underdogs to Franklin and Marshall. First half was a phenomenal one for Wilkes, as the team shot 50 per C'ent from the floor and, led by Kendig and F r eda, who scored 26 points between them; held a ,13.31 half-time lead. The team S<'nred consistently and hustled the length of the court, utilizing a te nacious defense tha t forced num erous F&M errors.

Dave Kaschak, ba~- •ball mentor, will preside. ***************** story, as Wilkes scored only 18 points while shooting only 20 per cent from the floor. F&M's big girl exploded for 16 points and Wilkes seemed to run out of steam and made some costly mistakes at all the wrong times. F&M took the lead with about six minutes to go, and held off a desperate Wilkes come-back attern pt. With 21 seconds remaining, F&M led 62-61 and had the ball at half-court. Wilkes tried for the steal before fouling and sending Kathy Ward to the line, where she sank both shots of the 1 and 1 situation with four seconds left. F &M won 64-61. Tuesday the Blue and Gold entertained Baptist Bible and avenged its rout by Lafayette, crushing BBC 93-35. The cagers had no problem that night and scored and stole the ball almost at will. They a lso refused to run up the score and thus did not try for 100 points. Everyone scored and five •players hit double figures: Kathy McHale, 18; Kendig, 16; Lynn Yedloc.k, 15, Frail, 14; and Freda, 12. McHale, a freshman, appeared to gel against BBC, hitting her patented outside shot and snaring several offensive rebounds. Debbie Yedlock emerged as high r ebounder , pulling down 11, as Wilkes dominated the boards with 34 bounds, compared to RRC's 24. Again the defense was responsible for a number of st eals and fast breaks. Overall, it was a good way to come back fr om two defea ts and earn the first win of the season. To<i ay the cagers will try for number two a gainst King' s, an MAC a nd NPWTAA foe. This is a must -win g-a me if Wilkes hopes to ;;pp aet ion after the reg-ular S(•asnn in the MAC. Vilma Hurst PRIDE is the best word to describe the innaugural week of wrestling, as Pope John Reese, asst. Tim McGinley, and the Colonel grapplers appear to be upholding the espirit d' corps of the fine wrestling tradition at Wilkes. "Pope John" and "Father Tim" led the Blue and Gold grapplers to a 48-0 whitewash over York College for the 1978-79 debut last Thursday at York. The Colonels then traveled to S.U.N.Y. at Binghamton and captured team laurels for the fourth straight year. Our Colonels amassed 120.75 points and crowned nine individual champions enroute to the team trophy. Cornell University finished in the runner-up spot with 53. 75 points. Binghamton was third, and Virginia fourth. The finals looked like a dual meet, with Wilkes in one corner, and "them" in the other. The Binghamton event was a good warm-up for the tough dual season ahead for Wilkes wrestlers. Leading the way for the Colonels was junior Ed "Clancy" Johnson at 118 lbs. Johnson decisioned Ron Keene of Cornell 4-1 to successfully defend his title. Frosh Pete Poggi grabbed the t hird spot in the 118 bracket. Poggi a lso won his first collegiate dual meet with a 9-6 victory. Soph Bryan Billig had an exceptional tourney, winning first and improving on last season's fourth. Billig wrestled his toughest bout in the finals, as he edged Virginia's Steve Silverburg, a nationally ranked wrestler. Billig recorded a fall in the York encounter. Gene Waas, frosh, did a fine job and outdistanced Binghamton veteran Steve Darling 13-10 in the finals at 134. Waas is surprising everyone, and won his first dual by a fall. Billy Dodge and Tony Wells had a tough day at S.U.N.Y. Dodge bowed to eventual runner-up Silverburg 7-6 and Wells dropped a hard fought battle to Cornell's Nigham . Co-captains Casper Tortella a nd Alex Grohol were first and second respectively at Bing. Tortella turned back Cornell's ace wrestler Gene Nigham 13-5. Casper reached the finals on a pin in 1: 22 and a 8-1 decision. He also collected a 15-2 superior decision at York. Yearling George Cherrie stepped into the 150 lb. bracket like a seasoned veteran and has a 3-1 record to date. Cherrie does not use a lot of fancy moves, but gets the job done. He squeezed out a 3-2 qec. oyer York's senior wrestler and pla ced · second at Bing. Another· frosh, Joey Zabatta, has been pushing Cherrie for the 150 lb. dutie and captured third in the tourney. Mark Dens berger is taking care of 158 lh. ~ pnt with his agressiveness and colorful moves. Densberger's style is similiar to former Wilkes great Jim Weisenfluh. He always manages to get in precarious situations and still come out on top. Last week Densberger handed York a 8-2 verdict and then won top honors in the tourney. Densber'ger put manners on Bing. ca pt. Ron Reedy 18-6 in the final round. The Wilkesman did everything but throw Reedy out of the gym. Wilkes other 158 entry Pat Kelley knotched fourth place. Denny "Dump" Jacobs is not undefeated, ~ut all four victories are via falls. "Jake" clamped a real "muscleman" at York a nd proceeded in showi ng the lights to three adversaries at S.U.N.Y. Jacobs is not far away from putting a patent on his fireman' s carry and dump series. Soph Dan Miner wrestled to a third place finish at the same bracket. Bart Cook usually wrestles like a surgeon and methodically takes his opponents apart. " Dr." Cook was crowned the 177 champ at -Bing. Cook had his hands full in the finals, as he edged Cornell's Chris Rugg 12-11. Cook also qualified for the finals by a decision and a pin. Frosh Rick Gaetano wrestled to a 8-0 major dee. at York a nd captured fourth in the tough 177 class at Bing. Rick Smith has come on strong and won the championship by decisioning Mark Serrutto of Virginia. Erik Schnieder came in third in the competition at Bing. Hwt. Danny House successfully defended his title. Bob Matzelle was runner-up. Both Smith and Matzelle were victorious at York. The Wilkes squad was expected to tangle with the Lehigh Engineers last night at the Wilkes gym. If our Colonels pulled that one off, they may get a national ranking, since t~e Behtlehem team is currently rated 6th inthe country. The Wilkesmen will then take the road to Anapolis, Md, to take on Navy, Yale and North Carolina in a quad event. After a Dec. 11 encounter with Tennessee at the Wilkes Gym, the Colonels will be idle until the Wilkes Open on Dec. 28-29. The match-up between the Volunteers will be the last home match before the semester ends, so get there early. The final outcome with Tenn. last winter was 18-18, so it should be a close one. The grapplers will attempt to make a better showing in the Wilkes Open than last year. If ther e is a better turnout, as · expected, ther e should be a better showing. Mike Kassab was · the last Wilkes wrestler to place in the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" in 1974. Bob Gaet.ano Intramural Basketball: Division I Preview It is time to add another chapter to that never ending· history book of Wilkes intramural sports. The beginning of the intram ural basketball league is near . . This year the league is broken down into A and B divisions. This column · will be devoted to Division A, since class is prettier that brutality. It does not figure to be an easy road to victory for any one team. The competition looks fierce and there is no evidence of the Polish Falcons this season. All eight teams seem to be loaded with enough talent to go all the way. Crazy Horse, a team of giants, · led by captain John Stevens and Ken Too Tall Gorn pers, will be wilder than its forefathers. The Organization, a t1ugh team last season, returns ah its top players. Mike Wilson at guard,• ( reputed to be able to pass a basketball that wobbles), Rob Irwin, (Wilson's favorite receiver on and off the court), and Steve HAWK Croghan; provide a fierce att:,l\ck. What can be said about the local entry this season, the Humdingers, that their name does not imply al~ ready, hey boast the speed of · John Cavanaugh, Dave Hungarter, ( The famed Chickenha wk duo) and the blocking of Tom Sokola. Can Mark Rado come up with an offensive plan of attack capa ble of ca using victory for the Si xers? Captain Boo gs Brezenski is relying on his knowledge for a winn ing season. Th e 78er s, led by Lolrenzo Alston, a nd Joint Effort, a gang of frustrated tacklers, will be giving teams a helluva lot of trouble. Rounding out the division are Up in Smoke and the Priapus Doobers. What can be said about Up in Smoke, they are a fragment of last year's champs, but who knows, with a little luck ... The Priapus Doobers feel high't is the key to victory with giants Don " Traitor" Patrick a nd Godfather Scarcela. There looks to be many good games this season in Division A so pick up a schedule and go see some real good B-ball. Next issue, we will have a look at the rugged B Division.

This ensures that the evaluation will be conduted for this sem ester. Ross Mantione, a mem ber of the academic com mi ttee, repor ted that the use of afl optical ' scanner . to compile the data will not be free to SG as they had hoped . Mantione investigated into many ar eas and the lowest cost possible to have the form s run through a scanner will be roughly $1400. This spa rked m uch discussion of whether to continue with the evaluation or not. Many repr esentatives stated that they felt the evaluation did not serve any useful purpose and that word-ofmouth was a more effective method. Gar y Toczylowski, IDC president, stated that he would like to . see the money spent on other activities or projects which he feels would benefit the students mor e. Mantione pointed out that if SG voted down appropriating money necessary to complete the evalua tion, that in essence they would · be voting against Del,at ers Earn 7th-place Spot Debate Union continued its success story when it traveled to George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. , to participate in the annual "Great Eastern Forensic 'T' Jurnam ent No. 1." The unit sent four of its members against more than 300 contestants representing 24 East Coa st colleges and universities. Junior Davida Roberts carried the da y for Wilkes, as she finished with a four th-pla ce trophy in the difficult "Singles Interpretatio n of Dra matic Literature" eve nt. Overa ll, the Union finished seventh--meaning that all four pa r ticipants placed in the top ten per cent. J on Pliskin, Maryellen Riley a nd Darlene Schafer also competed. Ms. Rober ts' trophy raises the Union' s number of consecutive tourna m ent victories to 18. The group ha s not failed to bring home at least one trophy since November 1976.

PHEAA Expanding Loan ProgramforComing Year Nearly $6 million in federal funds ha ve been paid to the state to ena hie expansion of the student loan program through creation of additional guaranties for the coming yea r . The funds were received by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ( PHEAA) which serves as the guara ntor for the student loan program in the state. Under a new federal law, states that operate under federal rules are able to r eceive more federal money to enhance student loan guaranties. Student loans are a big source of funds for those who attend college and other postsecondary schools and need to augment their source of aid when grants are inadequa te. In 1977, the federal . government allocated $3.9 million to PHEAA for the same purpose of guaranteeing more loans. Exec uti ve Director Kenneth R. Reeher of PHEAA said that PHEAA and other similar state agencies under the new federal law get an administrative cost allowance of one percent on all guaranties and are allowed to retain 30 percent of all monies co l.lected from defaulted accounts. Much of the input for the new federal laws on stude nt loans originated with the P ennsylva nia student loan agency. P rior to law's passage, state fu nds had to be appropriated each yea r to create reserve money to gua r a n- Letter Policy Letters to the editor are welsomed from all interested parties.

Pennsylvania's student loan program has been in operation since 1964 and has guaranteed 931,278 loans worth $1.2 billion up to Oct. 31 of this yea r. In the 1977-78 academic year , PHEAA provided 101,159 guaranties worth $185,228,407. This was the biggest year in the program . However, Reeher predicted an even larger volume this yea r since the new federal law ( Middle Income Student Assistance Act) removes the income ceiling on student loans for federal interests benefits. Every student can obtain a student loan free of interest while enrolled regardless of the student's family income. Reeher said the volume of loans guaranteed contiues to show a sharp rise. The increase in federal funds to PHEAA will let the Agency maintain its reserve and help students to borrow from the state's participating lenders. Private lenders provide the fund s which are a source for the student to get money now by willingly encum bering future earnings to repay when he or she is out of school. Other changes in the federal law were helpful in the administration of state programs and many were the result of input provided by PHEAA staff. These included 100 percent r epayrrlent to state agencies in the cases of death or disability of a student borrower and the exclusion of student loa n funds from bankruptcy action. Another change was the institution of a floating" defa ult ratio whereby the lower a state's default rate the higher the percentage of federal guaranty returned to a state. Due to diligent prevention, pursuit and collection efforts, PHEAA ha s kept the rate of default on students loa ns to under three percent, thus insuring 100 percent reinsurance from the federal government for losses.

PRESENTS A STANLEY KU BRICK PRODUCTION 2001: a space oclyssey KEIR DULLEA . GARY LOCKWOO D STANLEY KU BRICK AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE PRODUCED AND DIREClED BY STANLEY KU BRICK SUPER PAN AVISIO N AND METROCOLO R STAR RING SCREENPLAY BY Saturday at: 7 and 9z30 p.m. in the CPA No smoking (of anything), eating or drinking dur ing th e show · The poetry reading and coffeehouse sponsored by ·the Ma!luscript Society was certaily refreshing. A cordial atmosphere was set by friendly faces and by a candle-lit room. A performer-audience exc hange of talent and ideas highlighted the entire evening. The evening began with a poetry r eading in which the artists and the audience participated in a shared em brace of words. The reader's diction fashioned moods that made me surrender to a voice. I was elevated to laughter and surprise and touched by the humor of the poems. The voice forced me to sink when experiencing the felt thought of solemn, bitter phrases. My heart cringed when hearing descriptions such as "pick the worms off me like stickyy pearls" and "scratch marks burning on my back." I found a distinguished beauty in the phrases: " humming a metal carol," "head bowed against a quiet pillow," and "a river the color of pavement." Sometim es the worth of a poem may be measured by its ability to articulate the simple experience; for this reason, hearing phrases like"c urtain rings rattle" also impresed me. The power of the imagination to relate the personal vision to a larger audience can be felt in the poet's simile: "Wind rushes over the ice like a woman brushing her hair." It was in this way that the varied selections of poetry left an impact upon the a udience. The poetry reading was followed by a "home movie," combined with a sound track that r anged from mystical rhthyms to early 'classic' r ock a nd roll. The m ovie suggested themes of being, foc usi ng on people and constructions. The setting for the movie was the streets of Wilkes-Barre; the idea of stasis and a sense of being froze n in time was conveyed by the use of different camera speeds and a lternating fra mes of black a nf white color. The movie could. perhaps, be categor ized as a surrealistic docum enta r y. Certainly all of us who have walked 'these main streets' have experienced their own symptoms of the ( Wilkes-Bar re) P lague: nausea, the strangersyndrome, and feelings of being and nothingness. · The final performance of the coffeehouse--a dramatic interpretation--allowed me to appr eciate a woven tapestry of words and music. This performa nce wa~ in a sense a microcosm of the whole evening forit emphasized our need to respond, to participate and to react. The coffeehouse was a delight to the searching ear and the attentive eye. Oay Cart Ctnttr Stthlng Statt G ~ To The Editor: I am the founder of the Wilkes College Student-Parents Association, an association dedicated to aiding any students who are also parents in caring for their children while attendmg school. We have found a need for an on-campus child care center and are trying to do something about it. A survey has been drawn up for our purposes under the direction of Miss Linell Lukes h, Exec utive Director of Luzerne County Full Year Head Start Policy Council, Inc . The survey is bemg conducted because our association is trying to obtain a grant from the state to fund the operation of our child care center and possibly the consrtuction of a new buildmg on campus for our center. Without this grant, our center may only remain a need and never become a reality. Sur veys can be obtained at the Hea d Start office, 76 West Northa mpton St. Sincere!_y, Thoma s E.

The heat hasn't let up. There is no respite. There is no help. I can't find distraction--classes are a blur, profs slur into nothingness. Even complaining doesn't help. The normal comfort I get from bitching abo.ut Wilkes-Barre doesn't release this tension. All of us need something upon which we can vent our spleen. For me, this college and town have provided the answer--until now. In the aim of truthfulness I admit that I find little to complain about. But, perhaps, there is one thing. I Love _you Susan, but this town _you come from is driving me nuts. It's not that it's so bad, it's just that some of the things they do here are so stupid. Here I am in the city of Wilkes-Barre where education and community walk arm arid arm and where the town government wants to charge Wilkes College and other similar institutions for their use of town facilities. Can you believe it, Susan? They want to charge Wilkes College for the use of sidewalks, firetrucks and cop cars. They want me to pay for the privilege of having potholes to crash into, tar and cement to step in, $25 parking tickets to fay for, and constables with ornery canines to deal with. I wonder i they'll pay for my recent allignment. These officials are too scared to lay a higher wage tax on the people who live here, so they're going to tax P.eople who don't--students like you and I. Like a friend of mine said, 'It seems they want to slice open the_goose that lays the golden eggs and get the gold without the wait." Wilkes (believe it or not) is that goose, for tney so much more than money to the area. Oh Susan, Susan what's to happen? I lie here helpless ( on my back). I can't sleep ( I can't turn over, either). I dream of you. Oh to be 16 and in love again. Oh to be 20 and frustrated. Do you see the cloud that besets my mind? Why don't I just end it all here, dressed as a deer on the first day of buck season. Maybe, I'll poison myself with kool-aide and ink. Perhaps its the drugs~-too much Dewar' s White Label. You drive me to these thoughts--What?--You never met a man who thoug-ht of town politics while contem).)_lating suicide and lusting a woman'? I know there are none like me. That's what makes me special. What?--You don't find me that SQecial. You don't care. You want someone with his what tog-ether? Oh that. Your leaving. There must be someone else, is there?'You like him. He has muscles. He's in the Mr. Wilkes Contest. So? Oh, I see, he does it better. Good-bye. She left me before I ever had her. Alas, the women I love, love others and keep me as friend. What to be done? Wait! I don't like that. It'stoo sad. We need a happy ending to hold the fantasy. We just can't let reality slip in. This is my column and I can do what!:)ver the hell I please. Let me rewrite that. Turkey Roll Susan, listen, stay here with me and you will have a unique, earth moving experience. You will? Really?

See what yo u missed guy~. But, a lready peopl~ a r e lookmg toward 1979 and tr ymg to see just wha t will happen for the Colonel gridders. Before we look to 1979, lets clean up 1978, an~ announce s?me awards. The Middle Atl3:ntic Conference . announced its all-MAC team and one Colonel made it - soph tailback Carmen Lopresto, who ~as selected by the coaches. It 1s a great honor for '' H~m er'' and nobody deserved 1t more. I really do not know how the captains for next year will be picked, but if my opinion counts, I select Lopresto, he has all the tools to be a great ca ptain. Three Wilkes gridders were na med a s honorable mention to the a ll-MAC team : junior linebac ker Mike Patrick, freshman Bob Luby a nd offensi ve lineman J im Beck, who was picked for the second straight year. The 1979 season, like the 1978 one did, looks bright. The great defense will be back, only losing the Molitoris'. And the offense should be potent, ( something it has not heard of for years( in 1979. Tom Cywinski ha s won himself the starting QB position, and if he does not get hurt hunting; all the time, he will be there for the next three years. Did you get anything on Monday Tom? The offensive bac kfield should be strong with Lopresto a nd Pa ul Kotula k leading the way. The two key holes Coach Rollie Schmidt will have to fill will be at the outside linebacker positions a nd at the kicking game, where Wilkes loses standout Dan Pisarcik to graduation. _ If Schmidt can get the key freshmen recruits, and blend them in with the veterans and there is talk of a new offe'nsive system to be instituted, 1979 can indeed be bright. But didn't some of us loonies pick 1978 to be bri ht. I think 7-1-1 watts bri ht. J ' COLONEL CLASSIC: Boostertickets are now available for the first annual Wilkes College basketball "Colonel Classic" to be held on January 5 and 6 at the Wilkes gym. The tickets are $5.00 apiece and entitles the bearer to admission to all FOUR games and lists his-her name in the program as a· booster. These special tickets will only be on sale for a short while. Tickets can be picked up from any member of the basketball team, Coach Rodger Bearde, or the Public Relations Office on the third floor of Weckesser Hall. Teams entered in the initial classic include: host Wilkes, Philadelphia Pharmacy, Hartwick College, and Slippery Rock State. The Wilkes College men's oa sketball team will open its 1978-79 campaign tonight in Doylestown, Pa., when the Blue and Gold meet Delaware Valley College in a crucial Middle At!antic Conference tilt. Last season, Wilkes met the Aggies twice a nd split, dropping the first game 63-61 and winning the second 75-74 after four overtime periods, so tonight's opener should be a ba rn-burner. After m eeting the Del Val Aggies, the Colonels will play a nother of their 13 MAC games . on Saturday, traveling to Madison, N.J., to take on FDU. Wilkes -~ill be home Monday at 8: 15 agamst East Stroudsburg in a non-conferenc e battle. Come early and get a look at Clarence Ozgo' s jay-vee team. Three days la ter is Pearl Ha rbor Day, and everybody knows what that mea ns. Wilkes is in pretty good shape for tonight's ga me, with no injuries. The Colonels looked awesome a few weeks back in a scrimmage against R ider College, capturing four of the six halves. In the morning's session, Wilkes won the first half a nd dropped the last two, befor e sweeping all three afternoon per iods. Standouts for the Colonels incl uded J ohn Za pko, who else?, a nd Kendall McNeil. Zapko had two in-your-face slam dunks, and Colonel fans will r emember , we did not have a jam all last yea r. McNeil was good offensively, and showed a lot of hustle on defense. Ed Va n Buren, one of the Beacon's own scribes , had an outsta nding performa nce in the final per iod of the day, exploding for 17 points and completely controlling the ac tion. Oter big men chipping in were newcomer Pat Romich, from P ottstown; Dave Ca pin, out of Valley West; J umpin' J oe McCr ea , who r eally com es to play; the vetera n George (Rocky) Oscha l, and the boomer, Kevin J .J . Walker. The guards also looked 1m pressive, as Rick Marshall and Artie ( sweet shootin) Meigh started and did a fine job. Also seeing action were freshmen point guards Pat McCue and Kevin Becker, and you cant beat a better trio of point-guards thatn McCue; Marshall and Becker. Mike McCarrie was his usual self, scoring when called upon and passing off when needed. CCarrie saw a little action at the guard, as did McCrae. A front line of McNeil, Zapko, and McCarrie, mixed with the rebounding of McCrea, is frightening. The other club could not get any rebounds. The Colonels are expected to do well this year, much better tha n last year's 5-18 record. A lot has been said and written, but it does not mean a thing when the first ball is thrown up tonight. Tonight could be the start of something big, a s Steve Allen says. Well, Scranton is up to it again, with their psycho press releases. This year, their the "Gamblin Royals", ready to make a move. The only move I see for them is into Valley Crest. They have lost Irv Johnson for good, and Phil and Paul are gone, which means they are shot. The Royals did manage to get a top freshman recruit in Issac the Gun Gatling, who could be a nother superstar up there, but look for the royals to ha ve an off year this season. _ Now, how about tha t tea m up the street. They a r e getting like Scranton up there. Now King's is ca lling itself, "Casey and the Sunshine Band." I thing King's saw its sun set with the departure of John Leighton ( Graduation) and Mike Morrow ( transfer). _The two Wilkes-King' s games should be great ones, and look for an indepth preview in next week' s Beacon.

In order to qualify for the playoffs, 752 faced the seemingly impossible tas k of sweeping all three gam es. In a gutsy show, they . did just that. While Ron Harlow tossed his initial 500 series and Joe Pelchar had an impressive 556, the triumph was truely a team effort.

In a slide show presentation illustrating the rides, enter tai nme nt and cleanli ness of the amusement park, these student organizations were given an idea of the offerings availa ble. Because the park doesn't open until May 11, "Wilkes College Day" would not become a reality until next fall. Buses would be rented for at least 200 students and the one-price admission would be $7.50, $1.50 off the regular price. Garman said that the park management is ver y flexible a nd will do all it can to accomodate the students. He noted that if Wilkes wished to buy . the park exclusively for one day it would cost $50,000. At the SG meeting Monday night, the body gave a vote of confidence to pursue the idea and a committee was formed. Jim Edw,:ards Mime Company Here Nov. 27 The Miranda Mime Company will perform at the CPA Monday, Nov. 'l:l at 8 p.m. , as part of the College Concert and Lecture Series. The company consists of two players, Kathy Heckles and Bill Maxwell. They plan to introduce the audience to the art of mime by using white faces and masks. In an increasingly-bewildering, complex and noisy world, Miranda Mime wishes to initiate audiences to the spaciousness and beauty of a silent world--the ancient art of mime. At a n emergency meeting of the Student Union Board, it was r eported that the Pioneer stereo system, which was recently purcha sed at the cost of $700, was stolen over the weekend sometim e between 10 p.m . Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The a larm system present in the SUB was out of order during the robbery, allowing the thieves to disconnect the stereo system in the SUB office by breaking a hole through the bottom of the door with a steel bar left in the SUB from the recent dance contest. It was ,a ssumed that the intruders knew exactly what they wa nted and spent approximately 15 to 20 minutes in the building accomplishing their task. Ca mpus security will be conta cted in an {lffort to determine whether any vehicles were noticed near the SUB during the alleged time of robbery. Also the Wilkes-Barre Police Dept. is presently investigating the matter. Director Bob Austin stated that purchasing a new stereo system will cost the SUB about $1000. Therefore, a $100 reward - - - - - - - - - P o e t Beatrice Hau,ley--------- is being offered to a nyone who can supply infor mation leading to the recovery of the stolen system . Recently other acts of vandalism have occ ured at the SUB. One exa m pie of this is the theft of the Hom e Box Office unit, which occured during daytime school hours implicating the possibility of student guilt. As a r esul t of this loss, HBO Corp. refu ses to issue another unit to the SUB. Furniture, carpeting a nd vending mac hines are also being abu~ed by the stude nts. Roth Novelty Co. has threatened to re move their machines if this destruction contin ues. Dam a ge done to moveable objects in the SUB has been increasing grea tly in the past fe w weeks.

Ms. Hawley is renown for her creative writings in poetry and has received several awards for her work. She will be available to students and residents at least two days out of each week, while also teaching an english topics class, 'Creative Writing-Poetry'. This is the fourth year the program has been in effect. It is funded by two sources, the National Endowment for the Arts, which supports a residency and reading program in creative writing, and the Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair of English Literature, · created by Dorothy Dickson Darte in memor y of her father _ to encourage, among other things, creative writing. Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the department, stated that the program is becoming wellknown within writing circles. So well-known that the department has not had to advertise for writers after the initial year. Writers who wish to participate send in resumes and then it's be" n only a matter of finding the one most suitable for the needs of the College. Dr. Kaska alternates the types of literature offered in tqe progra m ea ch year. Ms. Hawley is the fo urth writer in the program. She follows poet Hugh Seidman, short stor y writer La ura Furma n, a nd pla y- write J on Lipsky. Seidman ha s published two books of poetry , with both winning a wards. The first, Collecting Evidence, is a Yale Younger Poetry Series Award Winner and his second, Blood Lord, won the Walt Whitman Award given by the Academy of American Poets. Furman has been published in both the "New Yorker" and the "Yale Review" both of which are very selectivf,. Lipsky's play, "Beginners Luck", won a Boston Emmy. Ms. Hawley received her first baccalaureate degree at Lycee Chateaubriand, in Rome, Italy in 1961. In 1976, she earned a BA in English, summa cum laude, from Brandeis University. In 1978, she was nominated as a teaching assistant PhD. candidate in the english department of the same university. Her teaching experience is varied, ranging from being an English writing teacher to childbirth education instructor. She has given numerous readings and lectures, mainly in the north-east coast area, where she resides. She has published 15 poems, with three more forthcoming, two magazine articles, and two books. A short selection from her first book of poetry, Making The House Fall Down is called. ''Love'',: like wisteria choking the house, pulling the porch off, making the foundation crazy grey in the off season letting you think the birch trees will make shelter but the root will not burn out, the vines come back making the house fall down under the sweetest flower A review of her first book by "Choice" magazine says, "The short lyric poems in this e·xcellent first book demonstrate the poet's originality and essential humanity." It continues, " Mariy of the poems are written from a child's point of view, but with an adult's accuracy of vision: 'We have all been lost in our mother's house - We have all crept down in the night -To put something sweet in our mouths.' Recommended for all libraries." For those students interested in writing poetry, the class Ms. Hawley will teach can certainly be of great benefit. The College also offers a major in English with a concentration in creative writing for those who wish to ser.iously pursue writing as · a career.

A select team of educators from t hroughout the state recently visited the cam pus to review the College's education department, which is seeking renewal of accreditation from the P ennsylvania Department of Education. The 12-member team represented other colleges and school districts throughout the state. They reviewed ·all of the programs under the department and talked with faculty and students during the three-day visit. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer, chairman of the education department, a favorable review was indicated in an unofficial report made to President Capin by the evaluation team. A written report by the re_view team will be sent to the College sometime in Janµary. The College has the right to negotiate any differences in the report and final official approval will come from the Secretary of Education in the spring. The education department is up for renewal of accreditation every five or six years. Hammer said that the program has always been ac.credited a s far back as he could remember. "This was a fi ve-year major review of the educa tion program ," he said. He a lso noted that the communications a nd ea r th a nd spa ce sciences pr ograms are the new cer tified progra ms which ar e now offer ed by the depa rtm ent.

Deemed Successful H'fN Medical Education Vehicle~ The Commuter Council was very pleased with the turn out for the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" which the council sponsored at the Gateway Cinema. The theatre was filled to capacity ( 500 seats ), and nearly 100 other students had to be turned away at the door. The ma nagement of the cinema complimented the Wilkes st udents on their conduct and told CC that they are welcome to have other s uch special showings.

There was a general agreement that more of these meetings will help the organizations to become better acquainted, and will hopefully lea d to closer relations betwee n dorm students and commuters . Several locations for the Chri stmas party were discussed. Adv isor Dean Hoover suggested that a place close to the college would be better due to the possibi li ty of bad weather. ! On June 21, 1978, the Hahneman n Television Network ( HTN) became a reality. For nearly five months HTN has been providing instructional , programming which facilitates the education of Wilkes-Hahnemann undergraduate students during the final phase of their training in the Wilkes-Barre--Scranton area. The network is also utilized by practicing doctors for diagnostic consultations and for obtaining additional medical credits by viewing the programs. HTN is a two-way microwave system linking Wilkes and five major hospitals in the area with Hahnemann Medical School and Hospital in Philadelphia. The programs are televised live from participating area hospitals or Hahnemann th!"ough the network switching center on the second floor of Stark Learning Center. Students and doctors can communicate with one another at both ends of the system as the doctors and patients are being televised. Viewers a re encour- .

IDt·M·tmbtrs Ltarn of SUB Sttrto Thtft The stereo system in the SUB which was purchased earlier this semester was stolen last Saturday. This was reported at IDC' s Sunday night meeting. . Taken was the ster eo receiver, four . speakers and a cassette tape dack. Approximate value of the system was estimated ~t $750. . . According to Bob Austin, SUB director, the burglers apparently broke in through a basement window sometime during the evening. The alarm system was not working due to a malfunction. Wilkes-Barre police were notified of the incident on Monday. "We're gonna have to reconsider buying a new one," IDC President Gary Toczylowski commented, adding that this was not the first time a stereo system had been heisted.

To prevent further thefts, Toczlowski recommended that shelves be built into the ·wa lls to house the stereo components. In other business, Bob Matzelli, Shep Willner and Toczlowski, acting as representatives of the Co-ed committee, met with Dean Ralston last Thursday in what was termed "a pretty productive meeting." According to the IDC president, the administration "never sa id that having co-ed dorms was bad; they just never took a sta nd on it." Dean Ralston reportedly said tha t IDC should pursue the idea of co-ed dorms, so the next step will be to devise and distribute a student questionnaire. For those of you who were wondering, the road maps which were cut up into zones and placed on the bulletin board near the IDC office are for those people who are seeking transportation home. This addition is known as a "ride board." The person seeking ( or offering) a ride will simply place a card under the zone number which corresponds to his destination, along with the desired day and time of departure. This idea has been successful at other colleges and will hopefully cut down on bull etin board space used , previously to ask for rides. The maintenance department received its first words of praise a II semester from IDC this week. Toczlowski said that maintenance crews responding to IDC r equests seem to be showing "genuine interest. Look for improvements in maintenance,_ " .he concluded. A "very serious matter," according to Joe Marchetti, housing director, ha s risen, due to the split in the fenc e installed between Denison a nd Pickering Ha ll s. The owner wants to find out who caus<:!d the damage. Marchetti warned that one walks across the fenced property at his own ri sk. " He could get yo u for trespassing." Tony Lillis SPRING 1979 STUDENT TEACHERS: There will be an important meeti ng in the lounge of the Dorothy Dickson · Darte Center for the Performing Arts for ALL students who anticipate doing their student teaching in the Spring of 1979. Meeting will be hPlrl TuPda v, '.\Tov . 21 at 11 a.m. The hub of the network in this area is the facil ity here at Wilkes, under the direction of Chief Engineer Pat Shevlia. He · is assisted by fo ur TV technicians and an additional engineer. Shevlia is responsible for checking and maintaining the system and he also determines what programs are sent to eac h subsystem . The medically-related programs deal with doctor-patient r elationships, nursing, allied health, safety administration and patient education. Each participating area hospital ( Mercy, Wilkes-Barre General Veteran's Administration, Wydming Valley and_ Nesbitt Memorial) has a stud10 or remote box camera and monitor in intensive care units, cardiac care, etc. Thus, eac h hospital ca n tramsmit and receive programming. Shevlia com mented that 99.5 percent of the programming is li ve. However, programs are also videotaped a nd stored in the library for two months so ~tudents and doctors can review them at their own convenience. In January a series of nursing programs will be aired ev~ry Thursday for two hours. Nurs1~g students will be able to obtam credits for viewing time. Also, if ITFS( Instructional '.fV Fix Service), a set-up by which two programs can be aired at the same time, is being considered for use. Its inception will ·depend on the interest exhibited by area institutions. HTN operates five days a week from 8 a .m. to 5 p.m. Programs range in length from one to two hours. Five or six hours of transmission a day is considered a heavy load. Shevlia pointed out that Wilkes-Hahnemann students are ve ry enthusiastic about the ~etwork. Area doctors are savmg time traveling because medi cal · confer ences are televised over the networ\<; right to their hospital. .. Basically, HTN 1s part of a continuing educational progra1'.1 which wilJ provide needed m edical personnel to serve this area. Students in the six-year program return to the area for . their last clinical year of medicine. It is antic ipated that they will remain to ser ve the Wyoming Valley and surrounding communities after completion of the program.

Financial Aid Applications Easier in '79 Students applying for financial aid for the 1979-80 academic year will be able to take advantage of new procedures which simplify the application process along with eliminating some of the expense of making application. For the past severaJ years m·uch thought has been given on federal, state, and college levels . toward making the financial aid application process easier for parents and students to understand. Last yea r, for exa m ple, one form was completely elim in a ted from the procedure when Basic Gra nts agreed t hat either the F inanc ia l Aid F orm ( F AF) of the Coll ege Scholorship Service or the Pennsylvania Sta te Gra nt application would also ser ve as the application form for th e Federal Basic Gr ants Program. As a r es ult, a id a pplica nts who were Pennsylva nia r esidents were req uired to file the P HEAA-BEOG Composite Applica tion to qua lify for a State Grant a nd the Basic Gran t. If they wa nted to a pply for Collegeadminister ed aid such as gra nts, loa ns or work-study, they were a lso r equir ed to file a college a pplica tion and the Financial Aid F orm . Non -Penn syl vania residents compl eted only the College a ppl ication and the FAF form in order to ha ve their eligibility established for the Basic Grant a nd Coll ege-administered progra ms. A processing fee of $4.50 was cha r ged by the Coll ege Sc hola r ship Servic e to analyze the F AF , regardless of whether the student eventua lly received any assistance or not. Neither the Coll ege nor the Sta te makes a ny cha rge to studen ts in the process of appl yi ng for financial assista nce. exactly the same formula that the College Scholarship Service uses. PHEAA will then transmit the results of that a nalysis back to the Wilkes Financial Aid Office where eligibility for College-administered aid programs will be determined. In other words, next year, most Wilkes students will not have to file a financial aid form.

Pennsylva nia residents would apply for a state grant, Basic Grant, a nd Coll ege Administered Aid with just the PHEAA-BE OG fo rm a nd the College a pplication. Who Files What? Students who r eside in states that use the F AF as the a pplication for m for their State Schola r ship or Grants Programs, such a s New J ersey, Vermont, a nd Ma ssa chusetts, will still be r eq uired to file the Financial Aid Form and the College Application to a pply for all the aid progra m s.

And as toey say "Trick {)r Treat", remember Editor's Note: If you will recall, in last week's issue you learned of the abduction of Peter I-um p· kin, "son" of Mrs. Cocco in the Math Dept. Office. Ransom notes, charges and gangs were in abundance, and as we left Peter, he was threatened with a "squishing." Here's what happened ...... . On Thursday, Oct. 26, computer print-outs were found in Earl's office, and on Friday, the door of his office was covered with computer print-outs of per· mutations of the word pumpkin. In the math office computer printouts trailed from the door to Mrs. Cocco's desk, over the desk and onto filing cabinets. Two pictures of Peter along with a note were on the department's bulletin board. The note encouraged Mrs. Cocco not to worry about Peter and is believed to be from the Great Pwnpkin's Detective Staff. On Friday, Oct. 'Zl, six professors ( excluding Koch and Earl) came into the math office four · minute apart, presented Mrs. Cocco with a pumpkin and confessed to kidnapping Peter. Mrs. Cocco was left with six imposters. Earl received the following note: ·TIDS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO! ! ! ! Koch is teaching in room 423. Go get him, and the two of you must go a nd talk to Mrs. Cocco, admit you are guilty and apologize. Only then can I return her Peter ( who, by the way, is crying to be-=·taken home). If Mrs. Cocco is willing to accept your statements, then and only then will I be nice to you. If she feels nasty and mean today then YOU WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN. I HAVE SPOKEN. GO!!!!!!!! On the day before Halloween a four foot pumpkin made of tissue was found in Earl's office. Earl noted that he had some trouble opening the door. Also, the six imposter pumpkins were fou nd carved with happy faces. There was also a note to Koch: "Your pumpkin carving is a definite plus for the furtherance of our cause. The oriental pumpkins definitely stress your artisitc ability. It is a good thing to put a diabolical mind such as yours to work - we are glad to see that you eill keep up the good work .... A job well done, Anonymous Your Comrades in Conspiracy." Another note read: "If you want to see your reviisionist pumpkin again follow these instructions carefully. We have decided to increase our demands. In addition to the ransoms, we demand the release of 6 fellow valient members of our red gang: 3 tomatoes, 2 hot peppers and a red cabbage. They are all being held prisoner in the produce section of Percy Brown's awaiting execution. Also, we demand a large bowl and sufficient oil and vinegar ro make our getaway to the Sandwich Islands. WE MEAN BUSIBESS! GOES. · Another week and yet a nother colum n to throw into the old fire. Insanity has col}l e to roost for someone has ldt the barn door open a nd the minds have all r un a way. It's time to get ser ious folks. The sa tire ha s been cute and we got a few good laughs, but as was tlie fa te of Aristopha nes, people laugh at our humor, but heed little to try to bring that bird home to roost--get that mesage irito our own front yard: For over two years, I ha ve J:>een eating a t the Wilkes College r esidence dining hall and for the same amount of time I ha ve complained about the food. I have always maintained that there was much room for improvement in the quality of food served and that the entire residence hall-cafeteria system is not the deal it appeared to be. As of la te, on the basis of information that has appeared in this paper, these two ideas have gathered into ,two conclusions: first, it appears. that we are paying a higher price than we think for mea ls, and secondly, the rule requiring that meals must be taken in tantamount · is ·an infrimgement of our rights· of free choice and possibly contributing to the poor ta.ste of the food. . By M. W. Wood's own a'dmissidn they base meal purchases and· rates upon the fact that each student eats ,13 meals per week, on the a verage. We are not paying for ro meals, but 13, therefore on the basis of $400 a semester for food, a 15 week semester and 13 mea ls a week we pay $2.35 for the' a vei'age meal. This figure, as opposed to the $1.50 per meal we pay for ro meals doesn't make the cafe a ppear to be the dea l it should be. Dorm students have no choice as to what meal plan they must take. Ever y dorm er in ust buy three ineals a day, seven days a week. The only dim possibility of getting out of this tangle is to have a note from your physicia n citing a specific illness as cause for not being able to eat the food ( ironic, huh?). This note (you' re not safe, yet) must then be approved by the school's doctor a nd then by the Dean's Council. So per ha ps, if your stomach was r emoved and you take f~od in through your arm , you might not have to pay for meals you cant eat. So for the rest of us poor slobs whose only ailment is sensitive tast-buds there is no recourse but to submit to this juvenile treatment if we choose the convenience of on-cam pus housing. We all know that the United States is a capitalist society based upon free enterprise and a competitive market -- the Am_erican way. However, it appears that at Wilkes we have a system of no-choice. We must ~ke all meals here. If students were given a choice among a variety of meal plans then that would place M. W. Wood on a competitive footing with other local eating places and what the students could cook for themselves. Competition alone would raise the quality of food, for M. W. Wood would want to entice students to eat there. But, M. W. Wood naturally opyoses such a system for who would want to lose a profitable monoply. Such is life at Wilkes College. There are other systems--som e better, some worse. The price for on-campus housing is _competitive with that found off-campus, but alas, there is very little available. Other schools have meal plans in which the weekend meals are optional along with breakfast. Why can't alternative systems be looked into? When over half the dorm population goes home on the weekend, does it seem fair to charge them for those lost meals? Perhaps, my arguments are weak, but these are issues that we students should be thinking a bout. · to One more thing, before I go. Last week I received a letter from a faculty member requesting a meeting with me I met with him and he brought forth some interesting criticisms of · my past columns. However, in the interest of fairness to all I would like to have a letter from this person, outlining his gripes, to be published in the paper and it is there that I will answer them. I feel that Wilkes College 1s a viable institution and that it can work, but it has its faults. Its greatness should lie in its ability to recognize and correct them, -not ignore them.Maybe next week we'll get funny again. Until then,-- be mellow, Signed The Gadfly. 288-3751 211 WJ111ill AHlle, Kilplll YOUR STEREO HEADQUARTERS - Come See Bob or Joe at the The Stereo House ~--------------------------~ -,, •Roller Skating PartySundayN1te II I I I I The.Class of 1980 is sponsoring an All-College Roller Skatil!g ~ ar~y Sunday night, November 19th, from 7:30 · 10:al p.m. Adn11ss1on 1s FREE to all Wilkes students with I.D. cards, however, there is a 75 cents skate rental fee. , If'you have a test(s] Monday, study earlier, study later, o,r fail, but com e a nd have a good ttflt £LS£ PtD wf N££0 QF '/04, 'RE iO JOIN 04\1... ~1 I-IG COMfV\U~ IT'/f I I I I ~.:'..:::!1!.:.~ ____________ J '-----:.~~~~~~~~~~~~-:.~~'!.~~-=-~~~~~~~~~~~~~--.~~~~~~~~~~~~---=- -==-==-==-== -=---------,- ,~s·r (( \.\.1lQr', . •• .. ..,__....,.,.......,..,.4"......,...__.,..yraou ir'lfl Sillfllll f'llllJSfl w,-rt-t L P .S.

Louis Czachor �Page 8, The Beacon, November 16, 1978 -Requiem for the Heauyweight On September 15 I found myself at a local bar with a seven foot T.V. screen. A black couple took seats next to me as I paid the barmaid $2.50 .for a beer and a shot. Only one thing could have put me in that place at that time, a title fight. Spinx was to m eet Ali at ten o' clock which was less than ten minutes a way. New Or lea n' s Super dome pr ovided the ffith century's best approximation of the Rom a n Coliseum . The seven foot T.V. screen pr ovided a very hazy picture with static sound to match. In a ll it r em inded me of watching old 8m m fight films.

On September 15 only rom antics believed that one of the men would hit the canvas. When Joe Frazier'-s croaky rendition of the national anthem conc luded I prepared to watch a display of ooxin1;. When Ai:i entered the ring the black couple on my right began s~y1!1-g s?methmg about Al i being the champ, and how the prayers said m his cor~er would help him " whoop" Leon. I quickly reminded them that Ali was not the champ and that money would encourage hi!11 to vi~tory fa~ better than prayers. This startled these devout Ali fans mto p~smg the inevitable question, "If you like Spinx so much, we're takmg bets, are you game, Chump?" I simply replied that_ I was a devout Christian and that my prayers would help Leon to victory much more than my wagers. . . During the first five rounds Spmx gave Ali m?re chances tha~ a drunken porn-porn girl gives the varsity captam after the sei:110r prom.

Sees Success Through Progressive Changes WHICH DEPARTMENT on campus can boast of having placed 100 per cent of its graduates last yea r befor e they even gra duated? And just as impr essive, those students who enter ed the job market dir ectly a r e ea rning a bove-aver age sa lar ies a nd those who went on to gra duate school did so on fellowships. The depa rtm ent is engineering and according to Dr. Umid Nejib, department chairperson, there exists a multiplicity of reasons for its success. Nejib attributed part of the program's success to the many available engineering laboratories ( such as drafting and graphics, micro and mini computer, .X-ray diffraction, materials preparation, to mention a few) and other available facilities including those · of the Hahne- · mann Medical Program, antenna range and testing, mictoprobe, welding and arc melting, and more. HE BELIEVES that Wilkes is "one of the best equipped undergraduate schools in the country in that it houses many facilities which are not a vailable else·vhere." Another contributing factor to the program' s prosperity is its fluidity. The department chairper son explained that the engineering field changes very rapidly; from the time a student starts the program in his freshman year until his completion in his senior year, many changes have occured. He stated, " Our curricula is desigm,d to accomodate these cha nges." Nejib also talked about the enthusiastic engineering staff and its "Progressive look into student-faculty relationships," or the "open-door policy" as he term ed it. All of the faculty m embers ar e ava ilable a fter their posted office hours to help the students. THE PROFESSOR sees the engineering staff a s productive "i n term s of scientific activities." He went on to expla in that much of the facilities and equipment came from grants that were initiated by the faculty members. Also important is the fact that the services rendered by the department are community oriented as well as school oriented. Nejib noted tha t ''we're not graduating r obots out of this department; an engineer must be responsible and humane ano we intend to develop them a s human beings. This is one of the advantages of having a n engineering program in a liber al ar ts institution." Basically, the engineering department offers three types of pr ogra m s. Ther e ar e the fo ur year pr ogra m s in electrical e ngin eer ing a nd materi a ls engineering which lead to a B.S. degree. Students may elect c-oncentrations in areas of bioengineering, electronic material, computer engineering, electronic and logic circuit design, microwaves, antenna systems, or semiconductor devices and applications. A FIVE YEAR B.A-B.S. program in engineering is also available to provide students with the opportunity to obtain broader education in the arts or sciences while completing the requirements for a degr.e e . in engineering. The department also offers two year academic programs in aeronautics engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. Upon _c ompletion of the second year studentsin these programs may transfer- to the junior year at other engineering schools. . . . F or the students pa r tic1patmg in these various engineering progra ms, Nejib stated that in spite of the rigorous. cur~icula, " the fundamental thmg 1s not that you have to work at it--you have to like it~-other wise you cannot survive." THE WILKES engineering depar tment is growing (20-25 percent increase in majors over last year) and is working strongly with neighboring industries and government agencies. The department is seeking accredidation next fall and the outlook is optimistic.

A sma ll but talented group of players could make this year's per formance even better than the history-making one of last season. After turning in their first winning effort ever in 1977-78, the Colonelettes lost onl y t1Vo to gra duation and this season looked very promising. But then, the loss of a key player a nd the indecision of a few oth ers thr eatened to dampen both the perform a nce and the spirit of the r emaining m embers. However, three fine freshmen appeared, more people began to come to practice, a fine scrimmage performance was turned in, a nd now it seems that the Blue and Gold are ready pysically and mentally. Standouts Dia ne Kendig, la st yea r's high scorer, and Mary Jo Frail, the tea m' s playmaker, have returned, along with co-captains Na ncy J ohnson a nd Debbie Yedlock, Sue Freda, Lynn Yedlock and Doreen Swiatek. Freshme n Kathy McHale, Mary Jean Farrell and Beth Leandri are all very pr om ising newcomers, and upperclassmen Mary Kay Price and Pat Par ave nti will also be assets. Again, lack of height will be a problem ( as it always is), but Coach Sandy Bloomberg expects tha t the quickness of the players will make up for that deficiency. " We' ll just ha ve to develop a r unning game," she said, "and take adva ntage of our strengths." Th e team itself is small in num her s, but la r ge in talent. Depth will be a problem only if injuries attack, and fortu nately all 12 players show a lot of promise, with nearly every one capable of starting. "I'm really looking forward to beginning this season, because I think we'll have a fa ntastic year," comm ented Coach Bloomberg. " This is the most aggressive defensive team I' ve ever seen on a Wilkes court." Adm itting that things got off to a slow start due to night classes a nd hoc key season, the coach nevertheless asserted that "we will be ready for the fi rst game. We need a little more organization on offense, but we' ll be working on that in the next few weeks. Also, we have two tough scrimmages coming up, which shou ld be very beneficial to us. " Comm enting on the team' s first effort against another team (a scrim mage with Lehigh University, a str ong team .in the East), she noted that the scrimm age "showed us our weak spots, but I also think we played really well. I wa s definitely pleased wit~ the performance." Wilkes more than held its own in that game, outscoring Lehigh in the fi r st ha lf of the workout. Defensively the team was aggressive and quick and a number of individuals turned in fine performances, including the fres hmen. Coac hes Bloomberg a nd Sharon Wilkes will have no problem fiel ding a good tea m . Kendig, last year's MVP , will pr ovide much of the scoring punch, along -with Frail, the fe male "Athlete of the Year. " Frail wa s the leading assist-making the last two yea rs, while Kendig was also a tough defensive player. J unior Freda, the team' s "Sixth player" la st year, will bring another year of experience with her a nd ca n be counted on to provide a strong performance any ti me. Two fres hm an round out the list of gua rds--Kathy McHale, form er Bishop O' Reilly standout, and Mary Jean Farrell, Meyer 's . 1000- point scorer . Both were impressive in pre-season play. The forwards, although not extremely tall, are still strong and quick. Senior co-captains Debbie Yedlock and Na ncy Johnson will bring two years of collegiate experience to the position, and Lynn Yedloc k will be looking for a r epeat of her fine freshman effort ·two yea r s ago. Freshman Leandri, a Valley West star, shows a lot of potential and should be str ong under the boards. Pat Para venti is _ ex pec ted to pla y aggresive ball and Mary Kay Price will also add to that position arid could be a tough rebounder . Fac ing a 19-game regular season sche.dule, in addition to a winter to urna ment her e a t Wilkes, extra meeting for WBRE's contest, any post-season outings, three scrimmages arid an alumni game, the tea m should play a minimun of 26 gam es this year. Old records are definitely in jeopa rdy, as is last year' s r ecord performance. This coul d be the best yea r yet for wom en' s basketball.

At the Nationals, ther e will be 11 sec tions from a ll over the coun try, in com petition. From 370 girls at the nationals, 36 will be chosen for the United States sq ua d. From the 36, 14 girls will be chosen to r epresent the U.S. in the World Games in Vancouver . If the United States• would finish in the top five in the World Games, then it would be represented in the Olympic Games in Moscow. To shorten things up a bit, there is a slight chance Pam Snyder and J erry Ann Sm ith could be in the Olympic s. Both girls will go down to Penn State on Nov. 18 and 19, where they will practice with Mideast section team on the University Park astro-turf field, which is the sa me type of field which will be used in the Nationals. This will a llow a r e Wilkes girls to enga ge in some top level play as they compete for the Mideast I, II, or III teams. If the girls make the national team, they would be eligible for the U.S. Touring Team, which would participate in International play in Mexico and Trinidad. It is a big step for the girls, Coach Meyers and for women's sports here at Wilkes.

Previously, a student was required to have obtained a general average of L4 during the fres hmen year, 1.7 during the sophomore year and 1.85 during the senior. The ge nera l average's are now 1.6, 1.9, and 2.0 r espectively. Students are also reminded t hat if they receive a grade of a " 1 " or "O" in any course they may repeat that course only after contacting Doris Barker, registrar. When a course is repeated, the higher grade earned will be used to calculate ihe cumulative grade point average ( G.P .A) appearing on the tra nscript, the lower grade will remain on the transcript but will be identified to indicate that it is not included in the student's G.P .A The G.P.A. will then be marked to indicate that it has been adjusted. Also, when a student tra nsfers to another major, he may ·appeal to the Academic Standing Committee with regard to grades of "1" or 'O" earned in courses not required in the major. He may request that these grades . be deleted from his G.P.A. calculation without repition of the courses. If the grade is deleted, the course in_ which it was earned will not be counted toward satisfaction of the requirements for any degree. It is important to note that academic graduation honors will be a warded on the basis of all grades earned. Concerning graduation requi r ements, students have the option of using the bulletin they came in under or any subsequent bulletin providing they meet the req uirem ents as outlined in only one of the bulletins. Also, the last 30 credits a student earns must be completed in residence at the College. Reenie Corbett Placement Offic e Function Ex plained to SG Members John Chwalek of the Guidance and Placement Center spoke to Student Government at Monday night's meeting to familiarize SG members with what his office has to offer the students. -\Speaking upon the request v1 Steve Kirshner, SG preside!lt, Chwalek noted that his officer•is not an employment agency but rather a liason between industry and students." Arrangements are made for any student to get an interview with a spec ific company "but that is all we can do" he said. The last three years the job market has not been that open and Chwalek advised that students must also consider an alternate career , when looking for a job. The areas with most availability are in sales, which Chwalek feels is an excellent start yielding many opportunities, and in the health areas. The new reading room located behi nd the Guidance and Placement Office contains a multiple of information on company literature which Chwalek feels is "one of the best you can find anywhere." His office is capable of holding mock interviews for students in order for them to be a ware of their strengths and weaknesses in actual interviews. The long running myth of the Guidance and Placement Office working only successfull y with accounting majors was cleared up when Chwalek noted that he works with all majors and has had good success recently with engineering, nursing, and computer science majors. A question was raised by Mike Barth on why company representatives aren't invited to the College to speak with students a bout careers. Chwalek said this has been done in the past but hec a use_of a lack of participation from the student body it had been discontinued. He said it is quite embarressing to have a guest speaker come into WilkesBa rre, spend the night, and the following day only have five students show up. Chwalek seemed very positive about his services and is encouraging all students to visit with an open mind. "We can be of some help" he said. The Guidance and Placement Office is located on South River St. between Chapman and McClintock Halls. The reading room and other materials are located behind that building. In other SG business, Julie Kei,t, academic committee chairman, reported that the SG teacher-course evaluations will begin the week after Thanksgiving. Over 248 classes will be eva luated and Kent is setting up sc hed ules with student volunteers to conduct the evaluations.

Jim Edwards r----------------------------, 1 Feasil,ility of Co-ed Dorms 1 I Explored by IDC Committee ! The newly formed Inter-Dormitory Council Co-ed dorm committee is planning to meet with Dean Ralston this Thursday at 2: 00 to discuss the feasibility of Co-ed dorms at the College. The main question will be why the College has not had co-ed dorms in the past. The committee is seeking out any pr oblems, legal or otherwise, that could h_jnder the possibility of male-~n:iale do~ms. _A student survey · will be given IP the near future where students will be able to voice their preference. The activities committee is in search for a new place to hold the an nual Christmas party, to be held on Tuesday, Dec. 8. According to IDC president Gary Toczylowski, the Hotel Sterling, where the da nee has been held in prev ious years was insufficient due to" crowded conditions" and also ··too close" proximity to the College. The Pocono Downs, according to Toczylowski, is being looked into as one of the prospective locations. The bud get for the party this year will, again, be $1000. , A meeting is scheduled to be hPld this Thursday in SLC room 101 at 7: 30 between all member s a!ld ·officers of Commuter Coun ell, IDC, an~ Student Gov~rn ment to discuss a possible "Wilkes Day" at Hershy Par:k.

The Beacon, November 9 1978 . ! To Probe of Communications Program I~:,~:'!!~!~~~9 ~~~~,!:~:~~:! . I was pleased to see the letter s to the editor sent in r efer ence to the WCLH ar ticles. After I completed the second of these articles, I had the opportunity to meet with President Robert Capin and Dr. Thomas Kaska to discuss the future of WCLH and the Communications program at the College. For those of you who don't know Dr. Kaska, he is chairman of the English department here at the College. My original in tentions were to meet solely with him and discuss the Communications situation. However, Dr. Kaska felt that including President Capin in the · discussion would provide a much more realistic insight into the future of comm unications at the College. First off, there probably will never _ be a Communications major at the College. The reasoning for this involves already existing programs at area colleges. The best way to state this simply is to say that a n agreement exists between the area colleges whereby one school will not duplica~ the program of a nother school unless the program is gener al and in considerable academ ic demand. In other words, King's beat us to it. This really isn't as bad as it seems. The E nglish progra m at the Coll ege is aca demica lly ver y sound. It may be that by graduating with a degree in E nglish a nd a specialization in -com munications the student will have a better aca dem ic base a nd, in effect, be more marketable. The College ac knowledges the need for the developm ent of the Com munications program as part of the English m ajor. This need has been greatly enhanced by evidence from the Admissions office that there is a great degree of interest amongst prospective Wilkes students for participation in a Communications program. And we all know that Wilkes needs the students. And that brings us to another important point. Although the College hopes to develop such aspects as radio and TV production as well as journalism, they are not in a financial position to support additional staffing in these areas. This makes for an interesting dilemma since the only way to improve the program is to bring in more personnel. It was on this point that I noticed a differ ence of opinion between the English departm ent and the a dministr ation.

P upils are referred by schools or agencies such as "Bridge", Department Public Assistance, Children' s Service Center, Child Welfare, etc., or parent and are from public and parochial schools. Summer schools have almost vanished. Pupil failures, drop-outs, etc., are often a voided by concerned tutors giving personalized aid. Mrs. Edward R.

After reading the articles and especially the letters from the past three weeks on WCLH from The Beacon. I can only say that some people in this school have no idea of what they are talking about when it comes to the college radio station. I started at WCLH Radio in August 1975. I've watched the radio station go through its' bad times and good times. WCLH operated from 12 noon till 11 p.m. during the fall of 1975. We presented educational and entertainment programs to the best interest of our listeners. I've watched the station go downhill since then until the summer of 1977. The station couldn't have been in any worse condition. Things must be bad if the station first-class engineer had to suspend the license of WCLH until things could be straightend out. Then by some strange miracle Wilkes hired Tom Beck to bring WCLH Radio back to life again. Mr. Beck worked hard to make WCLH a professional radio stat¥)n. He did something that hadn't been done in years, he worked with the students, he fought for an identity for the station. According to the "Chairman of the committee to sign-off WCLH forever" , 16 mem hers of the old WCLH quit when Beck took over. He claims this was Becks fault. I say "bull." From my own person experience, working as an announcer since Aug_ '75, and working as Music Director since March 1976, I think the people who quit, left because they were 1 lazy, and didn't want to do a little extra work. The station was run as a do-your-own thing fun-time toy. Mr. Berg was and still is well-educa ted in radio station guidelines, but he left the management of the station in the hands of the students, which we can see now wasn't a gooa idea. Since Beck, the radio station became professional. Sure we do make mistakes, but compare WCLH to any professional radio station in the area, and we match them if not surpass them. Sign-off chairman says "to continue Becks policy ' is a ludicrous excuse for leadership on the part of those remaining members." Right now WCLH is operating at the highest efficiency in years. We never have a problem with management-staff relations. The only problems that keep WCLH off-the-air is the poor equipment. If Wilkes wasn't so blind to the fact that we've needed new equipment for years, perhaps we would have no problems except for certain unidentified "chairma ns and his m • • ········--···--··-----1· ■ r••~~<•••••~r• To the Editor: Congratulations to those who attended Vegas Nite!

Sincerely, John Salwitz Chairman, Vegas Nite Jones Thanks Al I Concerned To The Editor: In thP past few weeks, there have bPen several articles and letter- on the subject of the coll ege's radio station, WCLH. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all who wrote in to express their opinion regarding the station. I would especially like to thank the editor of The Beacon for the editorial which appeared two weeks ago. It is good to see that so many are concerned_ We at WCLH always welcome a'JJ opin ions concerning the station, and would encourage your readers to continue to write to The Beacon or to bring thei r opinions directly to our attention at the station. Once again, thank you a II for your fine response. Sincerely, W. Keith Jones Station _Manager WCLH Concerning the large amount of response concerning the future of the radio station, it becomes apparent that many individuals have a great interest in its future, that of moving forward as it has done in recent years or that of being stuffed in the grave as many hope would happen. WCLH could hit the grave sooner th, n expected, not because of lack of interest, but because of mass equipment failure. Possibly, this is what the administration is hoping for, a quick death to a fine young station. Then, a lack of funds could be used as a reason for not reviving the then defunked station. Or, better yet, could the administration be hoping that it can underpay, demote and even scare individuals away from the advisor's job, thus leaving the station totally in the hands of students, which would be just cause for terminating the station. Some articles refer to the change of advisors for the reason 16 members quit the station. But could the real reason be that the people couldn't cope with · some type of disipline instead of mass hysteria which once existed. As for the format of the station, is it not a station's duty, especially on an educational station, to m ect the needs of the community. It is true every listener may not enjoy what they hear every time they turn the radio on, but isn't this true of anything. Could the reason the station is unpopular with the administration be that it refuses to roll over 0 as an administrative plaything? Could its unpopularity with some students and faculty mem bers be a result of resentment? These questions can only be answered by those individuals. So until everyone concerned, the administration, the faculty, and the students get together and make a consolidated effort and improve the station, every in ch gained for WCLH will be hard fought, but it will be fought for and won by the members of WCLH. Chris Kosakowski EX p O a 5 UC Ce ss To The Editor: Science Expo '78 was made a reality through the combined efforts of approximately 80 faculty and student volunteers.

Sincerely, Ellen Proeller Elaine Slabinski Les Turoczi H's What's in Head To The Editor: When will the self-proclaim ed "skinheads" of this world start judging a man by what he has in his head, not by how much hair grows on it? Name Withheld Upon Request Manuscript Rtuitw If you have had the chance to pass by and peer into the Sordoni Art Gallery on your way to class, you would have noticed that the e xhibition which is currently on display at the gallery has much more to offer than the title "Rugs, Hangings_and other Designs" suggests. One look at these "rugs" and "other designs" and instantly they t,ranscend the common utilitarian items they represent. The work being presented is that of Ms. Annie Bohlin and her technique of creating both functional and attractive forms proves that she is one of those rare people who take nothing in life for granted. Ms. Bohlin's work ressurects the eternal question: 'What is the purpose of art?' Obiviously her work deals with two important dimensions of life: the useful and necessary needs of the functional world and the aesthetic needs that art creates and satisfies in our lives. Rather than attempt to explain or classify Ms. Bohlin's work, one should just give in to the freedom of sensation which it allows. The predominant senses that are affected by the exhibit are sight and touch. The rugs present muted tones contrasted and combined with vibrant !'.Olors. The textures created by the use of various fabrics provide endless movement and direction throughout each individual pattern. By combining stark color with precise patterning, the wall hangings create an airy feeling which allows for a further, and more personal creative statement by the observer. The wall hangings ar.e by far the most unusual feature of the collection, made more unique by the fact that they have this ability to inspire. Ms. Bohlin possesses the ability to take a basic cup, a utensil common to everday life, and with it present a pleasurable and functional art form. The infinite variety of textures and colors found within nature are a II part of the designing world of Ms. Bohlin. Her work though, transcends, the traditional view of art as purely aesthetic, and extends its boundaries to include a utilitarian aspect. Thus, by allowing art to enter the practical world Annie Bohlin has made the necessary functions of life more pleasant. But by far the most powerful statement of her art is that even the most mundane objects of life-rugs, dishes-can have a beauty of their own.

The latter is probably the case' among those of us who spend our time on the fourth floor of Stark. Recently, several people in the Mathematics-Computer Science Department apparently reached the end of their ropes and the result was a series of events that will be long remembered as " The _Great Pumpkin Caper." The story began about midway through October when a pumpkin was found on the desk of Mrs. Irene Cocco in the MathComputer science Dept. office. Mrs. Cocco said that the puinpkin, which she had named Peter, was missing four days late on October 19. In "his" place was a note which read: "Your pumpkin has been kidnapped. Don't call the police. We will contact you about the ranson." · The ' next day a ranson note was found and it said: "Put 10 pieces of candy [must be exactly 10 - for even division .of the ransom! I in an unmarked paper bag. Put the bag oft top of the mailboxes. This must be done with the utmost secrecy, otherwise - Pumpkin Pie. Eat this note when you've read it!" l ,,., AthicdnoW~a~pani~~~al~i!f with pieces of broken pumpkin stalk which read: "WE mean bizness. This is what happened to another pumpkin whos ransom wasn't paid." The note was signed "The Gang." Mrs. Cocco said that the entire week before Halloween she kept finding notes in her desk drawer. ~me of _the notes were accon:ipa med with halves of candied pumpkins. They read: "This is what will happen if you don't pay up." One day she found a recipe for "Creamy Pumpkin Pie" from Borden's condensed milk. In the recipe ONE of the ingredients was one can pumpkin ( about two cups). To that ingredient was added: or 1 pumpkin. Mrs. Cocco said that she refused to pay the ransom be' cause she knew that the professors of the Math-Computer Science Dept. had taken in the pumpkin. It seems that Dr. Koch and Mr. Earl had taken the pumpkin and hidden it in the filling cabinit in SLC 418, Mr. Earl's offict).

AA cr own. However , the 1978 teani was liter ally onl y a fragment of its predecessor, and that's what made the going rough for this yea r 's edition. Barely one fourth of the team returned this year, and everyone found herself playi ng a bove her a bility against people who wer e sim ply better or m or e experienced. Wins were few and disa ppointments many, but much to the cr e-dit of the women involved, they never ga ve up. ,,,, " We knew it would be a r ough sea son, " admitted Coach Sandra Bloomber g, "but we just decided to give all we ha d and use the experience we gained to build for next yea r. That's why we didn't double up in singles and doubles during the season--we were a ble to play more people and gain more experience. " What r eally impressed me about this team ," she continued,"was the positive a ttitude. Even when the girls lost, they viewed the match as a learning experience and were able to improve steadily. It's a sha me the fi nal r ecord didn't r eflect this." She a lso credited Assista nt Lew P artridge for his part in the team 's efforts, noting that he was very helpful because of his tennis background a nd teaching a bility. Senior co-captain Reenie Corbett fo und herself playing fir st singles aftt,r com peting in the fifth slot last year , but still ended with a few wins this year. Junior co-captain J udy Bellas a nd Rosemary McMa hon, who m oved from doubles to singles this season, also played well a ll season, but only Rosemary broke into the win column in regulation play. Debbie Welliver played fier cely at fourth singles and lost a number of close matc hes in three sets. Her final record doesn't come close to describing her per for mance. Freshman Lee Schwartz was perhaps the best-thinking player , as she combined skill a nd strateg-y well. Doubles player s Becky and Mary Ann Morgan were also improving right until the last match, and Karen Polomski and Sandy May used their great deter mination and playing ability to pull them through some "m ust-win" situations. Diane Resnick and P eggy Mascelli played exhibition a s well a s varsity, gaining val uable experience for next year. Wilma Hurst ' J �November 9, 1978, The Beacon, Page 7 Two in a Row for Gridders Meet Susquehanna Sat.; Can Finish Year at 4-5 Two in a row. It's small, but it's still a streak. Yes, the Wilkes College football team won it's second game in a r ow last _Saturday, upsetting Juniata College 14-10 at Ralston Field in the final home game of the 1978 campaign. The Colonel offense again was in gear with fullback Paul Kotulak and subs Sean O'Dea and Joe Wilk leading the way. Kotulak, who led all Wilkes ball carriers with 84 yards, scored the first TD on a one-yard run, which was set up by a seven yard bull-run by Wilk, the fresman from Wilkes-Barre. but O'Dea was the big surprise, gaining 63 yards, mostly in the second half, and tallyinr the winning score on a five- ~,an.I run in the fourth quarter. With all 'this ground-attack eating up ya rdage, you might ask where is team leader Carmen Lopresto? Homer was hurt in the first series of plays and Coach Rollie Schmidt made a wise move and rested him. Lopresto, who has 456 yards rushi ng on the year, is expected back on Saturday against Susquehanna, and that means trouble for the Crusaders. While Wilkes was churning out the paydirt, so was Juniata, who lost all their chances at a MAC title with the upset loss. DeWayne Rideout, who was named as the Anthracite Bowl's leading offensive player in the game, had 116 yards on 34 carries and Dave Headly had 96 yards on 17 cnrries to assist the Indian attack. Mike Patrick, Wilkes' sensational inside linebacker, who has been just super all year long, was named the Defensive Player of the game, and saved the contest with an interception with one minute left to play. It was the fourth interception of the year for Patrick, who was also nominated for the ECAC weekly team for his job against Juniata. Another plus for Wilkes, and gaining more and more experience with each game, was freshman quarterback Tom Cywinski, who started his third straight collegiate contest, and it looks like Coach Schmidt has finally made a move in the QB selection process. Cywinski was five for 11 for 64 yards against Juniata and kept the go ahead touchdown drive alive with a completion for a first down to senior Dave Fritzges on a thirda nd-long situation. Fritzges is still looking for his first TD receiving this year, and many Wilkes faithful hope the former Dallas Area star gets it in his last ga me of his career on Saturday. As far as the defense goes, what ca n you say? They were as tough as always, probably better. We always say the names are too many to be printed, but these guys deserve everything they ca n get, so here we go: Pat Boylan, · Steve Croghan, Lue Nase, Jim Too Tall Scott, Big Don E. Brown, Bigger Ra y Pam bianco, Biggest Ed Mollahan, Rick Krawetz, the pride of North End, Randy Ashenfarb and the burly one, Jungle Jim Devaney. Enough can not be said about this nutso crew on the defensive line and their co-ordinator Ed Lukas. Also registering fine games at the linebackers positions were of course, Patrick, outside Tom Yuhas, John Frappolli, and the man who came second in the defensive player award standi ngs, young Glenn Colvin, who has the makings of being a great one ina Blue and Gold uniform . Dan Pisarcik. That name has been mentioned more tim es this year than Carter. The senior had another great day punting, booming four for a 40.5 average and one a fifty yarder, was furn bled and turned into the first scoring drive for Wilkes in the closing minutes of the first half. On the other end of the punting game for Wilkes is Rob Luby, the freshman returner from Flordia. Luby, who did not· return a punt against Juniata, is the fourth leading returner in the NCAA Division III standings in the country. One cannot explain the firepower coming from the offensive line on Saturday. It was by far their finest game of the season and a lot of credit has to be given to offensive coordinator Joe Moran, who not only knows his offensive line well, but sure knows how to pick those QB' s and high · school football games. Right Joe? Jeff Shovlin, Tom Heller, Don Jones, Steve Wengen, Tom Sokola, Joel Kane and MAC candidate Jim Beck, were opening holes all game for the backs to get through. Still another area which showed a lot of ability on Saturday was the defensive secondary, where Mike a nd Mark Moli toris and Rob Luby patrolled in the abscence of Joe Shurites, who was out with an injury but is expected back this week in Selinsgrove. But Mark Arcue was the standout here, as he had some mighty tough hits on the opponents and broke up a key pass play late in the game. The headhunter , ala Jack Tatum is back. Wilkes is now 3-5 overall and can end the season on Satu rd ay with the same record as a year ago with a win. Wilkes will meet the Indians of Susquehanna at 1: 30 in Selinsgrove, only a short trip away. It would be nice if some of the Wilkes family could make the small trip down to help the Colonels end the 1978 season in style with a victory.

Whoever it was that said cross country runners are introverts and never had time to get involved in college activities is wrong. Don Patrick is a perfect example of how a person can com bine academics, social involvement, and · athletics and be successful in all of them at the same ti,me. Don is a junior accounting major from Mt. Holly, N.J. He is a reliable point getter. for the Wilkes cross country team running as the fifth man. Because of his positive attitude and persistence toward the sport, the team voted Don the captain for the 1978 season. He is also the president of the track club, in addition to working on the social committee and helping coordinate student functions. To top it all off, he is currently the R.A in Priapus House. Why so much involvement? Don says, "It is up to the individual to 'stand up for himself and use the situation to his best advantage." He continues, " I am not the kind of person that can sit back and let time fly by. Being busily involved with my fellow students is the best way for me to utilize my time he1·e at Wilkes." Don decided on Wilkes after graduating from Rancocas alley High School, because he saw that it was what he wanted. He did not like the fast pace of th e suburban living along with all its pressures. So, he wanted a small college away from home located in a n average sized fj community. Wilkes seemed to be just what the good doctor ordered. Academicly, he chose account- ****** Don Patrick ¥¥¥¥¥ ing because he was always fascinated with numbers. In high school he kept stats for most of the teams he was on. He loved to figure out all the averages for the teams. For the future he plans to become a Certified Public Accountant and specialize in upper level management of accounting firms. Although his work with the social committee · and being president of the Track Club are very important to him, . being a R.A. intrigues him the most, socially speaking. Don reminisces, "I remember, that the first semester here was very difficult for me, mainly because our RA was never around to help out the new students." He knew then that, if given the cha nce, he could do a good job, The experience is new for him but, you won't see him having too much trouble beca use he has a very real concern for his dorm mates and their wellbeing. Athletics is something that is not new to Don. In high school, he earned eight varsity letters in three sports, ( cross country, indoor track, and spring track) . If you have not noticed, Don likes to run. Or, should I say loves to run. You would have to if you averaged ten to 15 miles a day as Don and his teammates do. The hard work is paying off. Don's first year the was 3-11. The last two seasons the ha rriers have finished with a very encouraging 8-5 slate. The addition of a few freshmen each year has given the team the much needed depth that is needed to sustain their recent winning habits. There are only nine members on the team, but the top five are running only a minute apart. With the MAC meets just over and the NCAA Regionals coming up soon, best wishes go out to Don and his crew from the Beacon sports staff. If the results could match the efforts put in by these fellow student athl etes, then a happy ride home will be in order. Anyway, three cheers for the de di cated road runners. Beep-Beep.
