This was r~ported b:y Gary Toczylowsk1, IDC president. at . the Student G_overnment meetmg Monday mght. . . .. Under ~tr1ct cond1tJ01_1s, these keg parties o~ gathermgs a~e un':1er the auspices of the Deans office. . . As stated m the new policy, the student who. requests to have a quarter keg m the dorm must be ?1 y~ars old and the keg must be m his or her room. No more than 15 people are allowed in that room and_only one quarter keg is perm1ttea. No tickets will be sold to these gatherings and the sponsor is, responsible for the behavior of' the students involved. A limit has also been · established as to how many quarter keg parties are allowed. Each dorm is allowed three of these _parties per week. One during the week ( Monday through Thrus-. day) anq two for the weekend. A form is now being devised by IDC for which students will complete in requesting permission for a quarter keg party. This will be obtained and prucess~ct · through the Housing, OfficP.. Permission granted .,and regu- Maintenance &Morale Issues at IDC Meeting The Conyngham building on South River St. is one of the two possible sites for the . new Stu- dent Union Building, expected to be com_pleted next fall. Two Location Choices Exist For Placement ofNew SUB 7 According to Andrew Shaw, dean of -management, the new Student Union Building is being planned with a ·tentative completion date for the fall of 1979. The two choices for the location cf the new SUB are the. Conyngham Building and the Conyngham Carriage · House which are both located on South River St. Although the carriage house would have been a desirable facility, after considering student needs, it was agreed that the Conyngham Building offers much more potential for remodeling, due to its roomy in- · terior. Rexcraft, the designing and decorating company, has drawn up plans for the building, which include many modern renovations. Planned for the basement are a rathskellar, recreation room and rest room facilities, at the cost of approximately $30,000. A cafeteria and dining area will be located on the first floor. This entails a cost- of $175,000. The second floor will have meeting rooms for various campus organizations, • costing about $10,000. Labor and Industry laws prevent use of the third floor beca use the Conyngham building is considered a wood structure and therefore a possible fire hazard. Dr. Shaw hopes that these laws will change, since the building is constructed of brick. If these statutes are reconsidered, the third floor will be converted into student apartments, thus helping to offset the cost of reconstruction Once the new SUB is constructed, the old SUB will be destroyed. With the addition of a dinning area to the proposed complex, the Commons will also be demolished, adding more usable area to the campus courtyard. If costs for the new dining area exceed designated amounts, the Commons will be retained to serve its present function. The first floor of the new SUB will then be used as a · snack area with a variety of vending machines and a possible student lounge. Although the new complex will have a different look with a few additions, it will serve basically the same function as the present SUB. Dr. Shaw stated that the College could easily spend up to a half million dollars on this project, thus involving an increase in tuition. But since the ' college's first concern is to keep . down the rising tuition, every possibility is being considered in an effort to keep the cost in the '$300,000 to $350,000 bracket. Gifts and pledges donated for the sole purpose of constructing a new SUB will aid in defraying expenses. Although the exact details for . cont. on p.2 According to Gary Toczylowski, Inter-Dormitory Council president. the most intensely discussed issue at this week's IDC meeting was the report of the Student Life Committee concerning the values of dorm life as related to the lack of maintenance on campus. The members of this committee feel that there has been a definite breakdown in communication between students and administration and students and maintainance. The general feeling i;5 that dorm students are reacting negatively under these conditions. The result is a low morale among many dorm students which is directly related to the lack of maintaince response. Toczylowski stated that the general consensus of the IDC members is that the Board of Trustees and college administrators should take an active part by making an effort to attend student organization meetings. IDC members feel that more would be accomplished if these people attended the meetings and were made aware of the issues. Also, it is now permissable for dorm students to take on their own improvement projects ( such as painting). In connection with this Toczylowski noted that the next IDC meeting will be Nov. 30, and Mr. Andrew Shaw, Mr. Charles Abate and Marion Jones' (head of Columbia Services) will be in attendance to discuss how the lack of communication reduces morale. Another issue largely discussed was the possibility of establishing co-ed dormitories on campus. A committee was organized to look into this matter. In other business Toczylowski reported on the Faculty and Governance Committee ( a standing committee organized for the upcoming accredidation). Toczylowski would like to see more student input on this, that is, student opinions on student issues. Also, Mike Sibilia, VP of the Curriculum Committee, reported that there is a new major trying to be opened in physics. In other announcements seniors were reminded to pick up all graduation forms before pre-registering with their advisors. Anyone who wishes to distribute teacher evaluation forms should contact Julie Kent in the SG office. A "Las· Vegas Night" will be held Saturday in the Center for the Performing Arts. Reenie Corbett Rees Na•ecl Alu•ni Director • Dr. Richard Rees has been appointed Director of Alumni Relations at the College, according to an announcement by President Robert Ca pin. Rees, a faculty member in the Education -Department since 1972, succeeds Arthur J. Hoover, who joined the Deans of Student Affairs office 6ver the summer. "Dr. Rees has a long-standing and close relationship with the Alumni Association, both as a Wilkes student and as a faculty m em her," stated President Ca pin. "We are confident he will build upon the foundation established by Art Hoover and continue to enlarge the relationship of the College with its alumni." Rees wil[ be responsible for maintaining contact and programming with some 13,090 Alumni Association members. A 1962 graduate of Wilkes, the new administrator has been active in alumni happenings since then. He completed his graduate work at Rutgers prior to starting at Wilkes. As a faculty- member;-be wa-s supervisor of student teaching and also taught both graduate and undergraduate education courses. He is the author of numerous articles dealing with organizational dynamics and belongs to several professional organizations. lation of all thes.: parties will be made by the Housing Office onthe basis of All-College _social events. This will be done to prevent too many of these small parties competing with a preplanned All-College social event. This proposal was instigated by IDC inresponse to the new alcoholic-party policy which took all keg parties out of the dorms among other restrictions. With many students considering this a harsh move by the administration, the new decision pleased Toczylowski and SG. In other SG business, Steve Kirshner SG president announced that on Novembe'r 9 at 7: 30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center room 101 a representative from Hershey Amusement Park will meet with SG, IDC, and CC members to discuss the possibility of a Wilkes College Day at the park sometime next fall. Under committee reports, the academic committee reportted that 199 classes have invited SG to come into their cla'ssroom and evaluate the course. Julie Kent, academic committee chairman, said she expects to hear from more classes soon. Those teachers who do not allow SG into the classroom to evaluate will be evaluated through the mail. The use of an optical scanner to read the data off the completed evaluation forms and into the computer has not yet been obtained. Ross Mantione is assuring SG that the use of one will be obtained for this evaluation. It is hoped, however, that the administration will see the need for such a machine and will purchase one for the use of the entire college. Jim Edwards · College Pas~e• Charity Goai The Wilkes . College United Way Campaign proved to be very successful this year as it surpassed its goal by a substantail margin. A~cording to Dr. Robert Ogren, chairman of the Wilkes United Way Campaign, contributions totaled $9,713.48, 2.3 percent above the practical goal of $9,fiOO. Ogren noted that the campaign specifically solicits donations from faculty, administration and staff members. Contributions may be made in the form of a check, payroll deduction or cash. The United Way is an effort to hflp community people by supporting various agencies ( such as Social and Health Services, and Character and Social Development) which otherwise would not be able to survive. Ogren stated that "This is one way a faculty, staff or administrative member may show, through their support, that they are part of a larger community. Although the campaign is ended this week, anyone who wishes to contribute, and has not yet done so, is welcome to donate.

David Bromberg Here This Month David Bromberg, who is coming to Wilkes-Barre Nov.ember 12, may be classified as a musician's musician. His extraordina ry guitar picking and excep~ tional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many musicians who sought Bromberg out as a. back-up artist for recording. Bromberg, however, is more than a musician's musician - he is his own man. Speaking openly about his career, he says: "I figure that I'll get exactly as successful as I'm supposed to, no more, no less. I'm not going to fight it and i'm not going to act surly in order to preserve my anonymity or folkie status, and won't eat dirt so that somebody , will bill me in some special concert--! don' t believe in that.

This past weekend the union traveled to the Clarion State College Annual Autumn Leaf Tournament, where 28 colleges and more than 300 contestants from six states gathered for the three day event. Wilkes entered its second novice squad in this traditionally varsity tournament. To the surprise of many, Wilkes came out in seventh place overall and also won an a ward for having the top novice informative speaker in the tour- VINNY,S THE BURGER PLACE NOTICE nament. The award went to Jm. Pliskin. All Wilkes contestants completed the tournament in the top ten percent and although the Wilkes delegation was small, it was powerful, beating out 21 institutions of higher learning, and proving that Wilkes College is a force in forensic competition. In addition to Jon Pliskin, Colleen Gries, and· Davida Roberts represented the institution in one of the hardest com petition tournaments on the east coast. The Debate Union is directed and coached by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the ~oeech division.

As far as the student government representatives in har. verd, princeton, and Yale is concerned that information might be cute in the trivia games but, I dont give a damn about what they have. I am con. cerned about Wilkes, because here is my neighborhood and backyard. If you had rebutted me to shut me up you are mistaken. Also if you think that I am decadent and irreverent-so be it. I believe that my message was understood by all and, if not I will make it even more clear. We do not have to depend on SG to make us happy or to entertain us. When we dont like what is going on why not make it happen for ourselves. If the SG wishes to help the students wonderful, but they shouldn' t impede us. Yes, that is right, I know this because before ·1 came here I had attended a small two year college out in the . middle of nowhere and we did not have too much that was . planned for us but, we went and did it for ourselves. That school was half the size of Wilkes. So what do you say students, lets do it 'how about it, "lets s--- or get off the pot." Thank you, Ernest College Station's Future Dim Popularity, Humor, Definitions Clarified the Editor: Th e following column reflects my own personal opinion and is not r efl ecti ve of any other group. .1'0 Dea r Mister Edwards, In r esponse to your letter dir ected fo me in the October 26th Beacon, may I present the following points: 1. "Followship" does not a ppear in any dictionary I have cons ul ted. May I refer you to the word "following" which according to The American Her· itage dictionary is defined as: " a group or gathering of follower s.'' 2. It would seem that if a dedicated writer is so concerned with gathering a "following" he-she might do well to become a boy-girl scout leader, guru, etc. 3. In other words journalism as an art form should be outside the r ealm of competition. To need popularity demeans art and th e a"rtist. I think in the case of Tex & Fritz and Dim & Wit you a re confusing popularity with noterity ( defined from that same source as "known widely and regarded unfavorably"). 4. Popularity may therefore indica te quantity rather than qua lity of response. Other columns ( Manuscript Review included in this group) may not produce mass response, however , is popularity the point of their existence? I would suggest tha t these writers are making an altP mpt at something else. 5. P eopl e ( myself included) read a variety of information daily . .,besides reading Tex & Fritz and Dim & Wit I also read the other sections of the paper eluding photo captions, ads, sports and editorials. If for some reason the ingrediants \abel from a package appeared · m the paper I would probably read this also. The point I'm !Ilaking is that the school paper 1s supposedly representative of the school and therefore out of ' interest in school I make an effort to read the complete paper. This does not indicate that I am hooked on the columns I wrote about in my earlier commentary but rather that I try to keep my eyes open to all aspects of life -unfortunately this in dudes the unpleasant. However because I am aware of the ~xistence of idiocy does not imply that I condone it or that I enjoy it. 6. There are degrees of humour; gutter humour, high school humour; etc. which are experienced throughout life. One of the points of my column ~as that one would hope by the hme one grows to college age and mentality one would outgrow some of these earlier forms. As for myself because I do not find humour in the columns and institutions mentioned does not mean I lack humour. I guess I lack your particular brand of humour. Thank God for diversity! Sincerely, Mary-Ellen Riley Assistance Appreciated By Students In Need To the Editor: As normal students do, my friend Karen and I came to Wilkes campus searching out some social activities. After parking my car in the Stark Learning Center parking lot, we left. About ~ feet from the car, I realized I forgot my car keys. Upon returning to the car, we discovered that the keys were locked in the car. Karen and I then noticed lights on in the SUB and went in to seek help. Two fellow students, Dave and Missy, were more than generous in assisting us. Dave succeeded in opening my door and Missy's cheerfulness and wit enabled us' to laugh at our misfortune. For this Karen and I are very grateful. My faith in Wilkes students has been renewed and I hope that other students can feel the same way. Again, Karen and I would like to thank Dave.and Missy very much for their kindness. Sincerely, Patti and Karen To The Editor: sing battle.

However, the overall turnout was very disappointing when you consider the number of students and faculty who are a part of the college, in relation to the actual number who attended the band's performance. I believe the band needs to be _recognized by all as a loyal. source of spirit at Wilkes, and is deserving of support from students and faculty because of this. The band puts in a considerable amount of time and work preparing themselves for concerts, football games, etc., and I would like to think that there are people out there who ' care enough to show an interest in our musical efforts. One way to show such an interest would be to attend the few concerts scheduled during the year. The concert itself lasted less than an hour - hardly much of an imposition for anyone, regardless of the weeknight. I feel there is ( and has been in the past) a definite .Jack of interest from the student body and faculty to support band concerts. SignedDisappointed in Darte Station ftaturt Story 'Slanttd Propaganda' To The Editor: As a faithful Wilkes College student , I habitually listen to our College radio station, WCLHFM. After reading the feature articles by Ed Van Buren in conjunction With Keith Jones I can conceive of said articles as nothing more . than slanted propaganda. Having begun at Wilkes College in the fall semester of 1975, I remember WCLH under the able direction of Prof. J a mes Berg. This man provided stringent rules enforcing the FCC ruling of broadcasting "in the public interest." Num erous educational programs provided listeners with valuable insights. Rock Music filled the air from 9 p.m. till 11 p.m. When MR. Tom Beck came to the radio station, the format became "in the music-listeners interest." To have sixteen of twenty members leave due to the new advisor's policy, odviously means Beck was in error. To continue this poilcy after Beck has left is a ludicrous excuse for leadership on the pa rt of those four remaining mem bers. Chairman of the Committee to Sign-off WCLH FOREVER �'Disco Fever' Strikes WIikes College Ca•pus Believe it or not," disco fever" has found a home at Wilkes College. My initial reaction to the "disco dance" idea was that it was almost certain to fail. Miserably. But suprisingly, the college has seen two successful disco dances this year. And it may be just the beginning. The first dance, held earlier this year, was the brainchild of Kendall McNeil!. The affair went off well, and drew a good size crowd. But perhaps its greatest achievement was that it set the stage for last Saturday's disco extraveganza, "Samurai Night Fever." Quite possibly the most successful party this year, "Samrai Night Fever," was a 400 ticket sellout. The Senior class party committee must be commended for the planning of this event. Walking into the SUB one got the feeling that he had stepped out of Wilkes-Barre and into downtown New York. Multi-colored flashing lights, provided by the Theater department, set an exquisite atmosphere for the night's activities. The sowid system was excellent, as was the musical selection. Live A Little-By Dim and Wit I feel like I may be getting just ;;lightly carried away in my praise of "Samurai Night." The probable reason for that lies in the fact that I expected it to be a born b. Needless to say, this article reflects my suprise. I was even more suprised by the dance contest. There were, I believe, four couples and one threesome involved in the com petition. Bonnie Moore and Vincent Wilson were the winning couple. It was apparent that a great deal of work went into their presentation. That's were the suprise came in. There was a very fine line between the winning couple and the others. All were exceptionally good. A variety of Chinese food was provided at the commons. I can't comment on how good, or bad, it was since I was only able to sam pi e the rice. I' II know better next time. Beer was also provided. That's a must. The point here is that the Senior class took a chance and tried something different. Something more than the five keg-one stereo party. And it work_ed. "Samurai Night Fever" was a success.

The Rl•arnn. ~ovember 2, 1978 Wilkes Hockey Ready to Open • Hungarter Top QB Intramural All-Stars The intramural football season has conc luded with the STUDS <'rowned as the new champs. It is time now to disclose the all -sta r intramural football squad, an honor bestowed on the best players in the league, an honor that will swell the heads of 1n players. This team is chosen by a poll of various players aro und the league (all of whom seemed to have made the team). The quarterback is the key to a good of_fense and he is the one who possesses a good arm, good aim a nd intelligence. This year's wi nner, Dave Hu.,.n garter , unfortu;rntely had only one of these qualities and it was not displayed on the field. A good running game is essential in order to ·be a winning team. This year's running backs are the fastest in the league. Nic k Gard ( who learned to run by watching girls run from various members of his team) gave the STUDS the championship victory on his 60 yard run, is everyone's choice as one running back. The other back, Casper Tortella, ran the ·best sweep possible· by hurdling bodies that his team -mates the New Riders, had cut down. The pass receiver can give the offense the big play and this was provid ed most by John Cavanaugh, the speedy Chickenhawk receiver who ca ught many· long ones this season, pants on or pants off, from Hungarter. The ot he r rec eiver , Andy Kresky, added a new_dimension to a pass receiver's role - heavy blocking. Andy is noted to have "buzzed" many people in his career. Chip Pufko rounds out the receiving corp at tight-end. He scored over 60 per cent of his team's total points a nd he scored more t his seaso n tha n he has ever score in his life. The offensive line never gets the recognition it deserves. It is on th e line where games are won and lost. Size is one of the important features of the line and this season's picks, Chick Andrewsca vage, Gary Blockus and Jim Murtha, are three of the biggest----at Wilkes College. A defensive lineman should be strong, quick and have good hands to grab flags. The three outstanding linemen, Bill Lemackus, Bob Matzelle and Jack Pohlman comprise a fearsome line that will grab anything. Dan Cardell, Steve Snake Grasley and Perry Lichtinger make up the linebacking corp. These three can burst through any offensive strategy to make tackles or drop back to cover receivers yet sometimes they get confused and burst through receivers. · Rounding out the team is the safety position and this year's winners here are Bill Pola ha and Bob Brezenski. The safety ha s the last chance at stopping the big play, and these two were rumored to be armed so they could make their la st s hot count. A few other awards a re given to players who displayed an .exceptional quality. The Good Sportsmanship Award goes to Ron Savitsky for his clean play. Teamwork award goes to John DeSalvo and Dick Bernier for their combined efforts la be led the "one-two punch. " The FAGOUT Award goes to Hotel Sterling and the Ozone Rangers for ca using a lot 9f wasted time and bother over a bunch of guys too la zy to get off t heir butts to get involved.

Although the "D" has bPen having another fine year, the Wilkes offense came out of hiding on Saturday afternoon to lift the Colonels to a 29-9 victory over l\1adison FOlJ in New Jersey. Photo by Gaetano After a six-game hibernation, the Wilkes offense arrived on the scene last Saturday in Madison New Jersey and lifted the Blue and Gold at a 29-9 victory over Madison FDU to snap a fivegame losing skein. The 29 points tallied by the Wilkesmen was more than half the amount of points scored in the first six encounters this year. . The top offensive threat for Wilkes was sophomore back Carmen Lopresto, who had 152 yards on 19 carries, only 20 off the all-time record for most yardage on ·the ground in one ga me. Lopresto had over 130 yards in the first half and saw little action in the final two quarters. Also chipping in with ground attack were full backs P a ul Kotulak and Melvin Johnson. Kotulak had 58 yards, while Mel gained 66, including a 51yard run and a four -yard touchdown jaunt. Wilkes' other offense came from fr eshman quarterback Tom Cywinski, who was seven of 14 for 85 yards and two touch downs. Cywinski was in his second straight collegiate start, in place of the still hurting Mike Wilson. Wil son sa w a little action on Saturday as did fr eshman lefty Tony Vlahovic. Rob Irwin led a ll Wilkes receivers with two catches for 28 va rds and a touchdown. Cywinski' s other scoring pass went to Rob Rushworth for six yards early in the game on a fourth and goa l situation. Another top freshman was a main part of Saturday's win. Rob Luby, from Maitland, Fla. , had his second punt return for a touchdown of the year aga inst FDU a nd also had an interception wh ich he returned 43 yards.

But two ten- minute overtime periods proved to much for the Wilkesmen as Susquehanna tallied four times during the post-regulation time to take a 6-2 victory over the Colonels last Saturday at Ralston Field. The game carried a lot of sig-nifica nee as it determined second place in the Northwest nivision of the MAC. Susquehn nna is now the runner-up team 111 lhP MAC, while the Wilkesnwn a re left one place higher than a year ago.

Evt'r.vone was cheering for the booters after "Kill er'' Kelly Noseworthy registered the first goa l in the game on a pass from Mike Karns a nd Colonel fans really became optimisitc. The onlookers watched Mario Apuzzo and Mike Karns bring the ball up field and everyone could tell Wilkes meant business, and Noseworthy hit the nets early in the first half. Charlie Issacs and Nick Golowich helped stop the opponents in the first half. Both "GO-GO" Golowich and "Go Get EM" Issacs have played hard all season and Saturday's goalkeeper Dave "DYNOMITE" Reynolds would he the first to admit he could not have done as well in regulation time if he had not been aided by th(' awesome play of these two Tennis Season Comes to End Although play began Tuesday and ended Thu,rsday, it wasn't n marathon match , sinee most of Tuesday's games were rained out and rescheduled.

Regular goalie Kip Bra utigan was sidelined with a leg injury and is expected to be back this week. The Wilkesmen were down 2-1 most of the second period until freshman Carlos Ribiero tallied the second goal on a pass from Zoom Duong to tie the score after 66: 55 minutes of play. Nikos Pitsis and Jim Edwards also contributed strong defense while co-~aptain Mark Ritter and Jim Hart were on the offensive drives as well as the defensive efforts. Sometimes the defensive players in soccer· are overlooked by the fans because the spectators are usually concerned with who is scoring goals. However, the Blue and Gold have many top defensive players and if it was not for their efforts, there would not be any offense. Golowich and Issacs are the "B lood and Guts" performers while Noseworthy is the intimidator. Despite the fact that the Wilkes booters have been losing, th ey have been doing well with except ion of one thing. They are gPtling used to "losing good" and once a team falls into this hol e, it is hard to break a slump. The Colonels will get three more chances and should set their goals high and aim at winning all th r ee remaining games. Yesterday, Coaches Hagman and Lopez were slated to take the troops to FDU Madison . Last fall, the Wilkesmen lost 3-0 to F DU in a hard-fought battle. Wilkes is hoping to avenge that loss in 1978. Saturday's action should be a little lighter, as Del YI was one of the three teams which fell to Wilkes last year by a 3-1 scorP.

Host 'Expo'78'Saturday Science Expo '78 will be held Saturday in SLC, as ten College science departments play host to over one hundred ar ea high school students. The day-long event is designed to expose the students to va rious career and educational opportunities in science by showing them . some of t he aspects of a science major at Wilkes. Members of the College family will also be able to view the activities of these departments. According to Dr. Les Turoczi, coordinator of the event, approximately 60 to 70 Wilkes students will cdnduct tours of the Stark complex and demonstrate various laboratory techniques during over 50 demonstrations. High school students will have the opportunity to get "hands-on" exper ience with all the procedures in the afternoon. Pictured are Dave McElvee a nd Dave E vans, two Wilkes students who will pa r tic ipate in Saturday's_expo. (Rumor has it a cat is also in the photo.) the Deans Council . is withholding a decision on the matter until all the facts are obtained. Director Bob Austin suggested two workable solutions to the problem. The first suggestion is that the sponsoring organization hire professional s ecurity guards for the affair. The second proposal -concerns a list of six to ten security personnel com posed mainly of people from the organization sponsoring the party. This list would then be submitted to the SUB board for evaluation. Th e boa rd wi ll determ in•e whether or not the people listed are adequate for such security positions. After considering both alternatives, it was agreed that the latter would be a m uch more feasible plan for everyone concerned. This tempo:rary measure could become mandatory if student conduct does not improve at future parties. It will also be requested that the campus security guards make random check-ins during any SUB parties to assist the security personnel present. · · Although agreeing with the necessity of such measures, Advisor Hoover concl uded, "It is sad that we have to think a bout tightening secur ity ·at pa rties, when the purpose of the activity is for student enjoyment." In r eference to the possible Wilkes-King's party, Bob Auston announced that after much consideration it will be abandoned for the present time. Reasons for this were stated as being a vast amount of negative feedback from both Dean's Councils and other committees involved in the final decision. A vote was taken and it was unanimously decided to substitute a SUB sponsored ALL-Wilkes event in its place. The idea of . a Wilkes-King's party could be considered again in the future if the circumstances · surrounding the situation become favorable. Pete Steve Patti Sparlow �Page 2, The Beacon, Oct.ober 26, 1978 WIikes College Cooperative Education Program Provides Students WIiia The Opportunity College graduates have a problem. Employers are re1uctant to hire students without previous job experience, and it seems that three hours a week in Dr. College Profs class on medieval open-field farming just doesn't fit the bill. ( Imagine that!) . After four years ( or more) of college and a sizeable amount of invested capital, grads are having the same problems getting · jobs that they had when right out of high school. Maybe we can put our educated minds together and come up with a solution, but actually, we don't have to spend much time on this because Wilkes has taken an interest in our dilemma. On-the-job Experience _ The Wilkes College Cooperative Education Program provides students with the opportunity t.o get on-the-job experience in the areas of their majors for credit.

Spanish Tertulia is a monthly social gathering which brings together local residents, most of whom are native speakers of Spanish, and students interested in improving both their Spanish conversational skills and their knowledge of the Hispanic world. Students attending the OcotoberTertulia included Dina Sauer, Michael Gibbore, Sylvia Stella, Gary Richard, Bob Rushworth, Mario Bianco, Susan Donio and Greg Miller. A 1976 Wilkes graduate originally from Bolivia, · Roberto Jemio, was among the guests. All interested students are cordially invited to attend future Tertulias; the November Tertulia will be held at the Faculty-Alumni House from 7: ~ to 9: 00 p.m. on Friday, November 10. In addition to the monthly Tertulias, a weekly Spanish Table takes place on Wednesday evenings, from 7 p.m. to 8 or 9 p.m. in either . the Alumni House (when available) or in the Commons. The purpose of the Spanish Table is less social than that of the Tertulias: its goal is to improve fluency and pronunciation among students of Spanish. Little or no English is spoken, the native speakers speak slowly, and students are encouraged to express themselves effectively in Spanish. For the location of Spanish Table any given week, check with Dr. Marban ( Kirby 309, ext.. 324). Anyone with a serious interest in improving his or her Spanish conversational skills is welcome, whether or not he or she is currently enrolled in Spanish courses.

' . This letter 1s directed towards Mary-Ellen Riley who wrote the Manuscript column which appeared in last week's issue of The Beacon. First, Miss Riley, it is not worth arguing over tpe issue you made over Homecoming Queen. I disagree one-hundred percent and hope the idea of a Homecoming Court flourishes along with the addition of a Homecoming King. Your attacks against Tex and Fritz and Dim and Wit, however, are totally unjustified. To start with "Toast Your Buns" by Tex a nd Fritz is not a gossip column. It is and always has b~en a humor column. "Live A Little" by Dim and Wit is a gossip .column which The Beacon has received a lot of flack about but as of yet has not received one complaint from people of whom the column is directed towards. lt is a fact that Tex and Fritz has captured the biggest following of our readers in our paper and The Beacon staff is well aware of that. Even though Tex and Fritz may not think so, we appreciate and need their work. Dim and Wit has received a lot of negative responses but their fol\owing grows every time ~h~y write a column for us. This 1s important to me. It is obvious that you,yourself. continually read both columns by noting their "past performances." That's right Miss Riley, Tex and Fritz & Dim and Wit have got you too. The simple fact of the matter is that Tex and Fritz is a humor column about Wilkes College students with no harm intended. Its purpose is to let us laugh at ourselves and if you, Miss Riley, along with the rest of the Manu- script ~ciety, can't see that, then I pity you. I am not asking you to like their humor but at least acknowledge its correct purp0se. As a final point of review, in my estimation, the Manuscript Review column ranks a distant fourth in reader followship behind Tex and Fritz, Dim and Wit, and Raoul.

He became involved with WCLH in the fall of 1!176 when began serving as Production Manager. The next year he worked as Station Engineer. In January of 1!178, Keith Jones became Station Manager at WCLH. I also began working for the college station in the fall of 1976. From that time until January of 1!178, I served alternately as assistant News Director and Sports Director. In January, I became Operations Manager. Keith agrees with the suspected reasons for Tom Beck's departure mentioned in the story last week. Mr. Beck felt that the station needed more attention than he was being a hie to provide. He felt that WCLH needed a full time manager and advisor In a closed meeting with Keith and myself last year, Mr. Beck expressed his disappointment with the development of the Comm unications program here. In fact, he _suggested that as an · English .major with a specialization in Comm uni cations, I seriously consider transferring. Keith and I sat down this week and tried to recreate, in our own words, the essence of what Torri Beck said. It goes something like this: "WCLH is in trouble." TOM Beck officially resigned in early April. The college did not begin interviewing w fill the vacancy until the end of May. Keith was in on the interviewing process. Of the four prospective applicants, he feels that one was truly qualified for the position. Unfortunately, that person, as well as two others, decided not to take the job. It seems that there was some small discrepancy between the salary offered by the · college and the salary desired by the applicant. Left emptyhanded, the college decided to find a temporary advisor for the radio station. Dr. K:inney accepted the position because he "didn't want to see the station fall apart." But, due to his overloaded schedule for teaching and his work with the deb11te team, Dr. Kinney simply does not have the time to get really involved in the radio station. "We're downhill from where we were a year ago,"says Keith. "Since Mr. Beck wasn't teaching as many hours as Dr. Kinney, and he didn't have any other outside obligations,he was able to spend more time at the station." To a void confusion, I must emphasize that Dr. Kinney is doing a great job with the time that he has,he just doesn't have enough of it. Keith feels that the college administration is still trying to ignore WCLH. " The only time -that they make any comment at all is when it's negative." One notable exception here is Dr. Shaw,who operates as Kinney's boss in radio station matters. The college doesn't seem to see the station as an asset. WCLH is hard pressed to operate 19 hours a day, 350 days a year on the budget provided by the college. Keith is still waiting for the third floor room he requested for badly needed office and production space. The future of 150 A's--Believe it or not, this small closet was and still is considered a room in SLC. Visiting artist Andrew Liecester, an environmental sculptor, found the room intriguing, and since it is designated as room 150A, decided to really make sure people know the number and letter. He and his students made 150 A's and hung them in the " room ," which can be found on the east side of SLC, in the older section of the building near the center of the courtyard. The Art DepartmeQt sponsored Liecester's visit and plans to invite other artists to conduct workshops at the College throughout the year. an R rated, rather kinky tale of survival f i"z This kinky tale of survival in the year 2024 traces the exploits of Vic and his canine companion Blood in a driedmud, post atomic wilderness.

Inside the room lies his roommate, Matt, curled in classic position upon his bed. "'~ou damned, abortionist, druggie!" Raoul screams in exasperation, "Don't tell me you're just waking up ...Don't you have any classes?" · "What? ... Classes? ... No... It's-Friday.'' "Oh ... I'm sorry .. .! must have forgotten that it was Friday. It must have beeh those two tests I had today that caused it to slip my mind," replies Raoul in mock apology. "Yeah ... Sure ... It's alright," Matt recoups. "Oh God, why couldn't you have made me a business or Theatre a rts, or any major but- bio. I mean m_an, you've got the good life. Your most difficult course is 'Gestalt Bonging.' " "Oh, lay off, I can't find my shoes." "Uh-oh, there's a major adolescent crisis--better call Joe Kanner-lost shoes. Listen Matt, tonight I want you to get lost--not too difficult considering your usual state of mind. Wanda is coming over." " Who? ... You mean WOW-WOWWanda!"exclaims Matt somewhat surprised. "Didn't she have a date with the football team last week?" "Yeah, I heard something about that." "Maybe it was the varsity wrestling squad." . "Could be," considers Raoul, she gets out on a lot of dates. "Anyway, Raoul, what are you going to do with her?" "You know, like Bromberg says, 'we're going to practice our · horizontal ·cha-cha.' " " Aha," says Matt appreciatively. "Aren't you going to study, like a good Med-Man?" "Sure, of course, and tonight's going to be anatomy.'' Later that night, Raoul and Wanda are casually sipping on the "Guntrum Auflangen Spatlese, 1!175," a Rhine wine Raoul bought especially for the occasion. · "What do you mean 'it's too late?' " Raoul laments. Wanda puts down the beer mug and "wipes her chin, "It's getting too late and I've gotto be out of the dorm by 2 a.m.--curfew, you know." "Curfew? ... Hell, no one's gonna care." "What if your R.A. should knock on the door, or maybe the security police or even Dean Marchetti?" " Look, don't get paranoid, I'm telling you there isn't going to be anyone coming." "Yeah, that's right...what about your roommate, that nice boy, Matt?" "That hedonist! .. .He's passed-out somewhere. Look, if you could do it with the whole damn football team, why won't you do it with me?" "But that was in the afternoon." "Oh .. That makes a difference, huh?" " Besides," Wanda drones, " how come you're only excited about me on weekends?" "Weekends!! !? ... That's the only free time I have.'' "The other guys find time ... and they have practice." "Yeah, but they're not carrying 19 credits of cut-throat science. The only woman I ever go to bed with is Helena Curtis, the author of my bio text.'' - "That's sick!" "Oh, come on." "You must have little respect for me, if sex is all you think of." "Respect! Are you out of your mind! We have been out since eight, and I haven' t tried to jump you once. The jocks must give you at least a whole 15 minutes before their hormones get up." Just because I'm not from 'New Hoysey,' doesn't give you the right to treat me like dirt. There are frills, you know." . "FriUs? Frills! Isn' t a ten buck meal at Perugino's frills enough?" , "Look Raoul, I find you abusive and crude! What do you think I am--a speciman for your biology class? I'm leaving!" " Abusive?! ... Crude? ... Wait! Don't go! ... Dammitall! " The door slams and Raoul sits on the bed dunbfounded. " I don't believe it. I thought it was such a sure thing. Dammit, intellectualism must be dead--it can't even get you a decent date." He reaches to pick up a book, "Come on Helena, let's go to sleep." He opens and reads. ~································· f~?e~!!~!!f..!!~!~~.~,~~. .1:,~!-.. ! ♦ the SUB.

The Lions first score came after a drive which started at the Wilkes 48 yard line. The final score came on a drive from the 50, and the other TD was the runback. Only the field goal, came after an extended drive against the defense, and even then the "D" got tough at the end and forced Albright to go for the FG. It seems awkward to always mention Dan Pisarcik every week. But it would be an injustice not to. Last Saturday, he punted 11 times, only two away from the school record for one ga me, for a hefty 41.0 average. He also kept a drive alive with a 27-yard pass completi~n on a fake punt. Reminds you of Don McDermott, a former Colonel :punter, who always used to pass and fake punts. Pisarcik is quietl y having a good year. By the way, the pass for 27 ya rds went to Rob Irwin. Where have you gone, Rob Irwin. Irwin has the potential to be the top r eceiver in the MAC, and nobody is throwing him the ball, or nobody is calling the plays to throw him the ba,ll. Cywinski showed he can do j ust as good as any other Colonel quarterback as hit on ONLY three of 12 for 95 yards and two interceptions. But lets give him credit, the pass to Jones for the TD was beautifully thrown, as was a completion to Dave Fritzges, which was thrown like a dart. Ah, Dave Fritzges. The quiet one. Does not say much, but when called on, he does the job. Fritzges, the senior from the Rack Mountain, had two catches It is really getting like a broken record. Really. The Wilkes College football team lost again. This time to Albrig_h t College 24-6 at Ralston · Field last Saturday. The loss was the fifth in a row for Wilkes. dropping its season slate to 1-5 on the year and ending all chances of a MAC title in 1!178. The five-game losing skein is the longest in Coach Rollie Schmidt's 17 years in the collegiate X and O frate_rnity. It is also the longest losing streak at Wilkes since 1961. Holy Cow! ! Before the game, Schmidt pulled a Dan Devine and had his forces wear last season's jerseys a nd he also put "W ' stickers on the helemts, the first time that has bee n done since 1973. But the "psyc h" tactics went for nothing. Both teams battled to a 0-0 tie in the first quarter, and the Colonels really came out smoking and fired up. But when the first half ended Wilkes was behind 14-0. Boom-Boom. , The Lions received their first two scores on a 10-ya rd run from Victor Scotese and a 40-yard punt return for a TD by Rob Majowicz, which really took the heart out of the Blue and Gold. However, on the second play fo · the second half, freshman QB Tom Cywinski, filling in for the injured Mike Wilson, hit end Cliff Jones with a 65-yard scoring strike which had everybody on their feet. Before we could sit down, the PAT was missed and the Colonels were still down 14-6. Albright kicker Mike Franczak booted a 32-yard field goal in the third period and Dennis Ziemba had a rushing score in Saturday in addition to some key blocks. Another added plus was the job done by offensive lineman Jeff Shovlin. Shovlin, injured early in the year, started for the first time and played well the whole game. A healthy Shovlin could be a strong point as Wil~es trys to save the 1!178 season. Shovlin, who is always asking for ink, deserves the praises for Saturday's game. Another offensive lineman, Joel Kane, was expected to give a speech before Monday's film showing, and hopefully this will get the Blue and Gold going. This Saturday afternoon, the Wilkesmen travel to Madison, New Jersey, to meet Madison FDU. Wilkes should come home a winner, but now-a-days you never know. The Saturday after that, the Colonels will be home for the last time, hosting Juniata College.

If the Colonel hooters do not win any titles this season it will be ok, because more importantly they are building character and pride. However, Wilkes is not to be counted out of the playoffs si nce a win over Susquehanna University this Saturday would clinch second place in the West section of the MAC' s Northern Division. The Wilkesmen displayed their pride and character, when they said, "We lost 8-0 to E-town, but, we played very well and if we had a little more depth, the score would have been much closer." The actual score was not indicative of the overall game~s the Blue Jays were unable to score until 40 minutes left in the first half. The visitors added a second goal near the end of the half and took a 2-0 advantage to the locker-room. · Elizabethtown, which handed MAC champion Scranton University its only loss of the season in a 2-0 OT contest, came into the second half "psyched up." The Blue and Jay coach was able to substitute freely and the "fresh" players pro':ed too much for the hometowners to handle and proceeded in bagging their second MAC win and the ninth overall. Coach Hagman also substituted and showed a strong bench, but the lack of depth obviously hurt. Mike Brautigan played strong defense as did Carlos Ribiero and Jimmy Ray Hart. -Goaltender Cliff Brautigan allowed seven goals, but recorded 30 saves, which is considered a good percentage. Dave "Dynom ite" Reynolds also made an awesome display at the goalie position, only allowing one goal to be scored in 20 minutes of play. Co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Mark Ritter also showed , 100 per cent thoughout the contest. The Blue and Gold are not laying down for anyone this year and a lthough they have taken some rough defeats, 9-0 to Scranton and 8-0 to E-Town, they are not giving up. Earlier last week, the Blue and Gold did not lay down and handed Albright College a 2-1 loss before an adequate crowd, considering the rain and dampness. The poor weather did not scare the press a way either, as Cha nnel 28 aired a lot of footage and WBRE sportscaster Kevin Lynn praised the sport for its constant action. Lynn and his television crew were able to capture the spirit when they filmed the Colonels second goal, which was recorded by soph Zoom Duong on a pass from Killer Kelly Noseworthy. Zoom found the range at the 14: 00 mark, proceeding a tally by Noseworthy on an assist from Carlos Ribiero eight minutes earlier. The 2-1 score did not show the actual occurrence and Albright was not much of a scoring threat. However, it was too close for comfort. Wilkes completely dominated the entire game, but with just a 2-0 lead throughout the first half and most of the second, it kept most fans on the edges of their seats. Sometimes a team which does not deserve to win, manages to luck · out and the 2-1 squeaker should create an incentive · for the Wilkesmen to score more tallies · against a team like Albright. The only time the ---- - ---- - - Lions scored was a 12 yard penalty shot and a replay could have allowed Albright to match talents with our hooters. Mike Karns, one of the fine freshman talents, played with a strained thigh muscle and played hard despite the pain. Another starter, Chip Brill of Wilkes-Barre, along with reserves Steve "Beetles" Bailey, Miami Jim Edwards and Rick "Wack It" Snyder chipped in with excellent defense late in the game. Wilkes is a waiting arr ival of Susquehanna this Saturday at 2: 00 at Ra lston Field, which will decide the MAC north-west supremacy. Last fall, the Colonels dropped a slim 3-2 verdict and this year's matchup carries much more significance for both teams. After the Susquehanna showdown, the Blue and Gold travels to FDU on Nov. 1.

Bob Gaetano THE 1978 WILKES COLLEGE COLONEL SOCCER TEAM Northern Divis.ion Champs, Women Meet F&M on Monday The Wilkes College women's field hockey team went 1-1-1 last week despite once again being hit by injuries. Although a 1-1-1 week does not seem to be that impressive, the girls did very well considering the circimsta nces. . However, all the injuries a nd poor cir cumstances seemed to better themselves as the Wilkes women were notified that they had won first place in the Northwest division of the MAC. Wilkes officials thought the upcoming game with FDU this Saturday would decide who is Number One, but FDU does not have enough MAC contests to be in the race. Also, since FDU is not in contention, second place will be a toss up between Scranton and Lycoming and the winner will play the top team from the southern division. Wilkes has been selected as the site for the MAC playoffs by virtue of its first place and will entertain Franklin & Marshall on Monday Oct. 30 at 3 p.m. at Ralston Field. Coach Gay Meyers was very pleased to capture the NW MAC division crown and said, "I thought we would take alot of bumps this yea'r, but the girls on the team were really am bilious and the championship signifies the jointure of all team members' efforts throughout the season. I'm glad we were able to win the division title under the new set-up and now we must look to bigger things, such as that overall MAC 'championship." Last week's action saw Wilkes beat Misericordia ·6-0, and totally dominate its opponent. The Colonelettes led at the half 5-0, and this was exac tly th e kind of break Coach Meyers needed. It gave her a chance to look at some young pl.iyers and also give her injured players a wee! deserved break. Goals for the game were scored by: Pam Snyder - two, · Geri McAfee two, and one each by Helen Gorgas and Jer ry . Ann Sm ith. Smith a lso had two assists to lead ' the team. The big surprise was Geri McAfee, who started the year at goalie and was asked to be switched to the offensive attack arid tallied two goals. Also freshman Helen Gorgas scored her first varsity goal, a nd played on the attacking line in the second period after starting the contest at ha lfback . Helen has a lot of potential as an offensive player. The Colonelettes only defeat of the week was at the hands of Susquehanna, when Wilkes just played poorly especially on defense. Wilkes gave Susquehanna the advantage all game, and the only Colonel score came from Julie Kerrick on an assist by Jerry Ann Smith. A rather unfortunate break in the game was the injury which Mary Jo Frail suffered. Mary Jo was drop kicked by the Susquehanna goalie and sustained a bruised shoulder and muscle strains in the neck and back. Wilkes tied Kutztown in the remaining game 2-2. Wilkes outshot their opponents 20-11, and it could be considered a moral win since Wilkes has not beaten Kutztown since 1970. Because of some injuries, bumps, and bruises and a wedding, the Colonelettes were not playing at 100 per cent. Mary Lynn Dreibellis and Patti Paraventi had goals · for Wilkes while Pam Snyder coll ected both assists. After the women tallied . their second score and seemed to be mounting the go--ahead drive, Mary Jo Frail reinjured her shoulder. Coach Meyers commented, "It was as good as a win, we were hurting and we were never. really out of the game. It proves we have heart." Wilkes is now 6-3-3 overall and traveled to Bucknell yesterday for their sixth away game in a row. The last game of the regular season will be on Saturday at 1: 00. Simon Kazinetz ...

Due to obligations of getting the historical houses on campus painted before the cold weather sets in, other projects have subsequently been neglected. So far, things still to be done are the installation of baskets on the court behind Pickering Hall, the painting of pedestrian Jines on South Street between the Corn mons and the cafeteria, and the replacement of new bulletin board windows and locks. Also, new T.V. sets, lounge furniture, lights, and end tables have · not been placed in the dorms needing these items. Tony Lillis The award for best club was won by AF ROTC.

Perhaps they saw it as a means of drawing students a way from area colleges that already displayed an esta blished comm unications program. P erhaps not.

His stated reason was that he had found a better job at the University of Akron, as the advisor for that college's radio station. But there is no doubt that his enthusias m had been dimm ed.

He is just rounding into competition form now. Pascoe, out of Nanticoke Area, has run well all year and _ha s been a pleasant surprise for the Wilkesmen. Other Colonels who ran well in the Albright meet were Ed Eppler, the captain Don Patrick John Supinski, Dave Kerek' _Jeff Davis, and Rodger Davis. ' The Blue and Gold will complete its dual meet season at borne. On Tuesday, they faced ~ an always tough Susquehanna University team . On Oct. 25, the Colon~ls close out the 1978 regular season with arch rival Scr'anton University. "We can beat both squads if everything goes well," said Davenport. "Both teams are strong this season and we wil1 need our best efforts to come out on top." The Colonel harriers are already assured of at least a .500 record, but hope to come home a winner on the season.

Same Old Grid Story: Wilkesmen Fall Again I could have saved a lot of Chuck·Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W. Market St. Wilkes-Barre time in writing this article, and used one of the last three ·B~con g-rid stories. Because, the story is still the same. Yes, Wilkes lost again, this time 27-7 to undefeated Western Maryland at Ralston Field in the a nnual Homecoming encounter. Again, the story for the day was the lack of offense. First of a ll , Wilkes was dealt a severe blow when No. 1 quarterback Mike Wilson was injured and removed from the game early in the first quarter. Freshman Tom Cywinski came in and followed the Wilkes offensive pattern to perfection, hitting on only TWO of 11 for 26-yards and three interceptions. Also seeing action at t he QB slot were: freshman lefty Tony Vlahovic and junior transfer Andy Hreha, the oldtime QB who is rea lly exciting to watch. The Green Terrors of Western Maryland showed why they have one of the top "D's" in the country, holding Wilkes to ONLY 54 yards total offense. ~1°~~ -lo~~ JU#u. I CHEECH& CHONG'S The Terrors first score came after a short Wilkes punt. It was \ probably the only mistake on the \~~y for senior kicker Dan Pisar/11 k- Pisarcik was one of the most exciting elements on the day for the Colonels, as he had a great day punting, including a 64-yard boomer. Two weeks back, he kicked one 58 yards . Pisarcik was a !so perfect on his PAT, after the Colonels only touchdown. Dan has not missed one this year. Still another surprise in his bag was a fourth down fake punt, which he passed instead to junior rec eiver Bill Molnar, who if he had held on to the ball, would have had a first down. Molnar was given such a shot when he touched the pass, that the "Hulk" would not have held on either. That incompletio n gave the Terrors the ball on the 24-yard line ofWilkes and set up W.M. for their third score. TheTerrorssecond score came after a Wilkes interceptfon, which gave the visitors the ball at the Colonel 36-yard line.

Lets clear something up' right now, the Wilkes Defense is by no means, I repeat, by no means, responsible for the 21-points tallied against Wilkes last Saturday. To tell it like it is, the blame should fall on the ineptness of the Colonel offensive attack. With just under. ten minutes remaining to play; Wilkes got on the board with its only TD of the day. The offense? No. The defense? No. What did we do, buy some points? Freshman Rab Luby, out of Maitland, Fla., took a W.M. punt on the 12-ya rd line and sprinted 88-yards to paydirt. Luby, who ha s been pressed into service in the defensive secondary because of the Dave Korba injury, has done all Coach Schmidt and Co. have asked for. Great J ob, Rob. With the outcome of the game alrea dy in the bag, Western Maryland added two fourthquarter field goals, which couuld probably be blamed on the defense. What are you ·guys trying to do? Your giving up six point, that's a sin when your offense is giving up 20. This week Wilkes will close its three game hom e stand with the Albright Lions at 1: 30 at Ralston Field. Last year, the Colon.als upset Albright 7-0 in Reading. Although they have been hampered by injuries this season, the Lions should be in shape for Saturday's contest. Albright, has won the MAC title the last three years, and they remember last year's embarrassing loss to Wilkes hi their Homecoming game, and sources tell us they are looking for revenge.

Perry Lichtinger ;c~1j;g; F~~ds:~ ;r;;c~;p;~y Discusses Issues over Dinner ,., Select administrators and student leaders Tuesday were treated to a special gourmet dinner and presentation by M.W. Wood, Wilkes' food service company. The company annually holds such an event as· that administrators, students and compa ny officials may meet in an informal atmosphere to ask and answer questions and discuss the Wilkes operation. A major point presented by M.W.Wood, via a six-minute slide presentation, was their reason a reduced meal plan cannot be offered. Wilkes currently operates with a plan that provides three meals a day, seven days a week ( except for Sundays, when two meals are offered). IDC, responding to students' requests, has asked that an alternate plan with less meals be provided for students who do not eat all these meals. According to company officials, the food budhet and roomboard charges are based on the revenue from less than ~ meals, since studies have shown that students eat an average of only 13 meals each week, or approximately two a day. Reducing that revenue by charging less for the service would put the operation in the red. Official William Blew also noted that it would not be feasible to offer both a full meal plan and a reduced one, since only a small savings in food would be realized because overhead and other expenses would not ·change. "Using hypothetical figures ," he said, "if a 20-meal plan cost, say$~ a week, a 15-meal plan· might cost about $18. For that small extra amount, students get five extra meals." . The presentation also dealt with the issue of students giving · meal tickets to friends if the rightful owner knows he won't be using the card. Because the food budget is based on a percentage of participation, any "cheating" results in a higher percentage--one not covered by the budget. Company officials indicated that they would be willing to present t he slide program to interested students, . and would want to be on hand to answer any questions.

MANUSCRIPT REUIEUJ On Friday, October 6, a commendable production of The Shadow Box opened the 1978-79 sea son of Wilkes-Barre' s Showcase Theater. The Shadow Box by Michael Cristofer won both the Tony award for best play of 1977 and the Pulitzer Prize for drama when it was presented on Broadway. · The play centers around three people, Joe, Brian and Felicity, all terminally-ill patients in a California hospital facing their imminent deaths. They spend the remainder of their lives in cottages, on the confines of the hosoital, with assorted members of their families. In <:otta'g e number one Joe lives with his .wife, Maggie, and his son, Stevi, Brian and his lover, Mark, reside in cottage number two. They1are visited by Brian's former wife, Beverly, who has come to see Brian one last time. Cottage three contains the aging Felicity ~nd he! , daµg~ter, Agnes. The stories of all three patients are mtertwmed sk1llfully and beautifully to give the viewer a feeling of "shadow-boxing"' with that faceless opponent, Death. Although this may appear to be a very brooding and heavy play, it is not: Actually, it is rather uplifting owing to the play's breathtaking antiphonal ending w~ich reminds us of the UJ:riversality- of. death and, ~onse9uently, aids in lessening the fear of dying. · _ · · This production had m·any strong points along with a few 'Yeak ones that regrettably cannot be overlooked. The .major weak points were the performances of -Owen _L avery as -Joe and' Joe Kelly , as Rrian. They were simply Tl}iscast. Mr. Kelly would have been better in a Timex commercial, .f or his over-acting was horrendous. Mr. : La very was far toQ stiff in his acting and seemed as though he·did not helieve- wha,t he was saying. He should have remained back stage. The,strong points in this production were the ladies, each turning in a solid performance. Carolann Kuzmicky was properly scared and· affectionate as Joe's wife Maggie. Agnes Walsh, as Felicity, -was. feisty, but yet vulnerable. Joan John provided some of the . play's lighter moments as Brian's former wife, Beverly, who had ''da_n ced'; all over Europe. The best pe'rformance in the show, ho_w ever, was that of Sophia Rodzon as Felicity's daughter .Agnes. S\le :was, in a . word, amazing.

The sta tement rea ds: . "With t he resignation of Dr. Heather Arden ( form er chairman of the Departm ent of Foreign Langua ges ) this pa st Spring, a new problem arose-as to the appointment of a new department · chairman." Dr. Arden would certainly be s urprised to read this, but she couldn't be more astonished than I. The facts are that I was hired a s chairman of the Foreign Language Dept. in Sept., 1971, and served in that position until denied tenure and had my emJune, 1978. I am no longer at Wilkes College because I was ployment with the College .terminated. In other words, I was canned. As for Dr. Arden (an excellent teacher, by the way), she left . Wilkes because she was certain that the same fate would soon befall her . .( No one teaching foreign languages at Wilkes has been granted tenure in the past six years.) The problem · of the department chairmanship arose over a year ago( when I was given a terminal contract), .and has nothing to do with .Dr. Arden's departure. It is important that Wilkes students and fa culty not be misled as 'to what is going on. There is no longer a chairman of Foreign Languages & Literatures because the college is no . longer possesses a healthy and effective program in this field. This sad situation is in part the result of disinterest by the faculty at large, lack of administrative support, and active hostili ty on the part of the chairman of the Engli'sl.I)epartment.

However, the "Never say . Die" attitude of the team members enabled them to cast aside their present standing and face a strong alumni team with a mean determination and ·much enthusiasm. Unfortunately ( or not so unfortunea tely - depending on which side of the net you were on), the alumni team caught the Colonel- · ettes off guard with a strategy unique only to a former WCWTP ( Wilkes College Worn en's Tennis Player). Under the advice of Nancy Roberts and JoAnne Englot Kawczenski, many of the Picture& al>'i,v is the crew of alumni tennis players who. recently alumni agreed to play a match returned ~ •JUl'.juitithe Wilkes courts.

In an attempt to overpower the alumni's strategy, Coach B. "matched" a singles' player with a doubles' player to form a first. second and third doubles team, while two doubles players tried their hand at singles.

So again we must go to the typewriter, put on the headphones and reveal the latest chapt.E;r in the continuing saga of King Sappin of Straw-Barre. It seems that things were not fairing well in the kingdom since the townfolk left with the great cloud. Few people strode along the streets of the city in the valley and fewer still frequented the large hal)s of the castle complex. The King gathered about him his numerous advisors a.q!} men of wisdom and presented them with the question, "Well, guys, what do you think... you know, I really want to know what you think ought to be done; I mean no one lives here anymore, no one wants to come to our kingdom, tourism is down, nobody attends our institutions of upper education. We owe it as a service to the people of the region to give them more knights." And the committee of advisors put their minds together. Around the round table were the Sorceror Galstone, Jerry the Germane, Badperson Nottingham, Rellezor the Rascal, Hoover of. Vac-uum and the Frerich Overlord Kisaskus Charos Masochetti. ·w First to speak was Jerry the Germane. "I have considered this question and I havt- come to the conclm,;on that we need peop~e. Not just people from this region, for they are t:1e ones who are lea vmg us, but people from far away where Straw-Barre is unknown:•people who will come to fight as our knights. And by l?gical extension w_e must entice these people to come _to our valley with colorful hand-bills and other such items. "A simply marvelous idea, Jerry," spoke Badperson. "We must show them that our valley is as good as any other. Right now, the plague of '72 is the only thing people associate with our kingdom; for all they know we still have dead people lying around. .- So a great plan of enticements was prepared and people and hand-bills were circulated in the large towns of Jet-Set, Preppie and Cosmo. Some of these hand-bills read, "The Straw-Barre legacy is never having to say you're sorry that you didn't go t.o a real city." Others read, "Come to our land of make-believe and ··-feel like weaving a basket." And finally, "It's no secret that big towns are nice, but the main difference between Straw-Barre and the big towns is that our to'4n is smaller." This plan was good and the people came from many miles around; however, the · newcomers, with _their pompous and selfish ways, began to ridicule the town. They made the townfolk feel it was a sin to be from the valley. They called the people of the town "Yahoos" for reasons nobody understood. Little did these people add, for many of them left the kingdom to be knights elsewhere. Again King 'Sa ppin called his wise court together and asked it how it could be arranged that knights could be trained who would stay back in tlte kingdom to help with the fighting there instead of going away after their education. This time it was Relleior the Rascal, who spoke. He was the director of Knighthood for the Kingdom. "Gentlemen, uh-well, I think we ought to try to get people from our own kingdom to do our figh-1:,ing for us. I propose that we tell what people are left that if they agree to do our fighting, we will graduate them as full knights in as little as six years. The other mem hers _of the group agreed that this was a wondrful id ea. So the recruiters went into the town and valley and told the people of the opportunities that awaited them if they chose to go into the service of their king. In a very short while, a five-score group of candidates was gathered. These people trained long and hard (summers too) for the future that awaited them as a knight in public service. But alas, what was not known to this five-score group was that half of them were to be eliminated in the final joustings. And the fate of the few people from the towns of Jet-Set, Preppie and Cosmo and · non-contiguous regions was not much better--they were beheaded . Once again, order and tranquility were restored to the benevolent despotism of King Sappin and all the people hailed and cheered whenever they saw the wise king. And so concludes·this crisis of King Sappin's Magic Kingdom, Any similarities to persons living or possibly dead are purely coincidental, and if not, they are the products of derenged minds currently seeking respite at Retreat.

The dean sta ted that the core requirements were loosened to give the students more options. He continued to say that there is "a definite balance you try to maintain between the liberal arts and the specified curricula." One sees the options in the core as important when viewed in perspective . with today's job market. Wuori stated that "there is an increasing concern for looking toward one's later job choicesin life as opposed to being uniquely lege dean of admissions, believes tha t "the rebellious feeling at that time produced a lifting of restrictions in a lot of areas - not only morally, but also in many areas of knowledge. Thus, it _fostered a relaxing of core requirements." It appears ironic then, that while other colleges are returning to stiffer academic standards, Wilkes changed core requirements ·only two years ago . to allow for more flexibility .. Wuori explained that "Wilkes College never really veered trained for that first job." When asked if he felt that Wilkes was straying from its liberal arts education a nd its concept of " the educated man," Wuori replied, "There has been no lack of innovation as we develop new programs that plug into societal needs.

Because Wilkes is a liberal arts school ( all controversial issues aside), students who select to come here for that reason deserve no less than a well-rounded, full y developed liberal education.

WBRE Brings Royals, King's Our"Colonels lints by Eddie White A great step towards bringing a closeness betwee~- Scranton University, King's College, and Wilkes College has been taken by WBRE TV & Radio Sports, in conjunction with the athletic directors of the three schools. It ha s been announced that WERE has set up a system, whereby at the end of the school year, there will be a trophy presented to the top school among the three, with the highest amount of points·, according to their point system. The point system is as follows, five points for first place, three for second, and one for third. Each school plays the other two schools twice in eight sports. The sports include five men - basketball, baseball, cross-country, golf, and tennis, and three women's sports - - basketball, softball, and tennis. At the end of the last sports season the points will be tabulated and a winner will be named. The winning school gets to keep a large trophy for a year until the next season of competition. The trophy to the top school, a long with trophies to each spor t winner, will be presented at a ·Together· dinn~r to be held arourjd the , . early part of May.. 1979 at the Sheraton Hotel in Scranton. · WERE also announced that it will · televise three local collegiate basketball games. Those games on TV include: Scranton at Wilkes on Jan. 20 at 1: 30; Scranton at King's on Jan. 'Z7 at 1:30; and Wilkes at King's on Dec. 7 at 7:00. ATTENTION: all you puzzle buffs and game-show watchers. This next part is right up your alley. WBRE is sponsoring a contest to decide a name for this pointcompetition between Scranton, Wilkes and King's. The name should be original, and examples of what they are looking for are, "The Big Five'! i_n Philadelphia, or "The Little Three" up north. A prize will · be a warded to whoever thinks up the name, and all three schools were asked to . urge thier students to participate. The contest ends on Nov.I, so hurry and think up a good name. Anyone with any ideas is asked to, contact Beacon sports editor Eddie White or athletic director John G. Reese.

Once the fans and coaches recognized the fact that the officials were nervous and not sure of themselves, the events became completely bizzarre. Head Coach Kurt Hagman said, "I have never seen anything like the occurrences of that game, but we should not let the officials get angry with us, because it hurt us the rest of the game." The rules state that no game shall be put under protest, under any circumstances, but Hagman, the fighter that he is, will probably file a complaint about the poor officiating and the Moravian coach will probably also comply. Nevertheless, Wilkes tried its best and the struggles between the teams led to the highlytense ball game, and everyone learned a lesson from the game. The only Blue and Gold goal came on a penalty shot by strong-footed Mario Apuzzo. The Moravian squad managed to hit the nets a third time to take home the 3-1 final victory. The defensive efforts of Warren Bush, Nick Golowich, Charles 'Issacs, and Nikos Pitsis were superb and helped Colonel "vacum cleaner" Cliff Brautigan to record 25 saves. "Krazy Legs" Kelly Noseworthy, Irv Pyun and Zoom Duong tried desperately to score but the strong Moravian defense and lack of a full squad hurt the Wilkesmen' s chances. Freshmen Jimmy Ray Hart, Mike Karns, and Mark Lepore, all demonstrated "Hee-Man" defense during the second half, when the Wilkesmen only had eight players. Also playing well for the Blue and Gold were Chip Brill from Wilkes-Barre, and co-captain Mark Ritter. Last year, Wilkes handed Baptist Bible College a 4-3 loss, ~ut bowed to "Duh U" 4-1. If the Colonels really put their minds to it, an upset over the Royals is a possibility. Scranton is ranked 10th in east, and boasts two All-MAC first team players in goalie Glen Brodwater and forward Dan Anspacher. Teo other top players include Mike Haley and Chuck Weaver, who the hometowners will be guarding very closely. The Royals six game win streak would certainly be a nice skein for the Wilkesmen to break. Good Luck Booters! ! ! After Scranton, Wilkes returns home with Albright on Oct. 19. Bob Gaetano -----------------------~-----~**********************************-IQ ,anuzzi's Pizza anti Hoagies t The Wilkes College soccer team is hoping to raise its record to the .500 mark, as the hooters ·. were expected to meet Baptist Bible College yesterday in preparation for a big showdown with the University of Scranton Royals this Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Scranton. Last week, the Wilkesmen were victims o{ a ' "hard fought" 3-1 verdict to Moravian College in a highly tense matchup before a large Parents' Day crowd at Ralston Field. The Blue and Gold Colonels entered the contest as the underdog, since Moravian had beaten them last season by a wide 6-1 margin, but Wilkes did not lay down for the powerful squad. Both teams played awesom e defense during the first half and neither team was able to generate a scoring threat, but there was a lot of exciting maneuvers and physical contact. With the deadlock still exhisting into the sec_ond half action, the game got tougher as the minutes went by. Finally, the Moravian team found the range on a quick breakaway , p1ay which left •. goalie Cliff Brautigan all alone at the nets and he was unable to make the diving save. The visitors added another goal 25 minutes into the half and the hometowners came back to score, but still trailed 2-1 with ten minutes remaining. Wilkes was a victim of many controversial calls throughout tpe match and unfortunately the officials allowed the entire second half to get completely out of hand. There was a lot of tension in the game, since Wi lkes was trying · to do its very best for themselves, as well as the Parents' who came to watch the annual affair, and in addition the visiting Mora vian team carried a 6-1 record into the contest and had a lot to lose since it is undefeated in Southern Division action. However, controversial c·alls resulted in three Wilkes pla?ers being ejected, forcing the Blue and Gold play with only eight players to the visitor's 1 men. It was obvious from the press box view, that the officials did not control the game the way they s hould have. They changed their ca lls on three occasions, which is the worst thing an official can do. Also, two of the three players thrown out, did not start the fights_ of which they were blamed for. But the Colonels allowed their tempers to fly, and the officials held a nimosities from the onset.

"He couldn't really disagree with anything we stated," he said, adding that a meeting will be scheduled this week between the committee and all the deans to discuss the issue fu~ther and possibly to vote on this controversial matter. In addition to the initial conditions set by the committee that would allow no more than one quarter per hall on any given night, a restriction 0£ 15 persons to a party was included. Toczlowski ventured to say, however, that special consideration could probably be given in order to throw a dorm party for more than 15 people. One other new point stated by the alcohol committee members was that all alcohol must stay in the room it is served, with the sponsor present. The remaining points of this proposal include registering the party with the housing director 24 hours in advance and after approval has been given by the RA and fellow dorm mem hers. The person who registers must be 21 and accept full responsibility for any mishaps. Also to be discussed at the meeting is the matter of dorm profits on parties. It is IDC's view that as long as tickets are reasonably priced and there are no major complaints; there should not be a profit limit. Fighting, vandalism and stealing which occured last Saturday night was attributed to the Molson Party in the SUB. Among the incidents which took place was a smashed window in Roosevelt Hall, a bulletin board glass case broken, the theft of a $70 pair of glasses, a coat and a $30 beer ' tap, not to mention incidents of The 16th annual Parents' Day student fighting.

At present there are two, maybe three, "Gong Shows" planned for this year. This leads to another problem BI'.odsky faces; the CPA is scheduled straight through the year leaving very few dates available.

Along with this news Black stated that the concert situation "isn't lookinE, too healthy." He explained that the promoter SG has been conducting business with for the past two years "doesn't seem interested in supplying shows for us anymore." SG will most likely have to buy concert acts on their own which adds the risk of loosing -money on a concert due to poor ticket sales. At present, there is a cha nce SG could line up a "Jesse Collin Young and Jesse Winchester" concert for early December. Black stated that SG could break even or loose up to $2,000. Some discussion against the chance of loosing money was held but a vote of confidence was given to Black to further look into the concert.

HOMECOMINt GUEENf WHO WON'T ~ ,. BE , 01NGV To all students: , The party policy ha s presented a problem in organizing social functions, because of the limited spa ce to hold parties, and beca use of the need for non-alcohol events. Alcohol related events must be altered, and non-alcoholic events must increase. It is amazing how the majority of Wilkes students are like ma gnets pulled to parties over other events. This has been proven by a couple of examples; 1) Last yea r s Halloween party in the gym was not a smashing success. 2) Last weeks Square Dance was lacking people, beca use of a party. Everyone must realize that the alcohol law is enfor ced and we must abide by it. This is not to say, parties should be cancelled. The point I am trying to make is this; one can still have fun without being loaded. I have been confronted by people who have asked for events that we unfortunately are not capable of providing; We don't have the funding or the availability of holding events like that of Federally funded sc hools. Believe it or not, those who plan activities do the best job possible. Instead of complaining, all meetings are open to every student to voice their op• inion. IDC, CC, and the Social PoorSoclal sc•edullng Criticised To the Editor: As a member of the Executive Council of the Sophomore class I feel t:ompelled to speak 0ut against the policy or lack of policy for the scheduling of social events. On Saturday, September 30, 1!178 the Sophomore Class sponsored an all-campus Square Dance at the expense of $240.00. This event was attended by a grand total of fifty people. I feel the poor attendance for this event was due directly to the fact that a party was sponsored for the same evening. I do not deny the dorms, clubs or other classes the right to have a party but I do feel that the scheduling of these parties could have been done more effectively. The Square Dance ~ad been on the social calendar since April and another event should not have been slotted for the same night. Permission for the party should have been given for Friday night or not at all. The Sophomore Class was not looking to make a profit on this event and we were sadly disappointed that the time and efforts of many people were wasted. In the future I hope that permission for parties will not be grant~d for the same night as other social events. It is time that the scheduling policy be am ended so that everyone who wishes may attend any and all social events. Donna Pioppi Class of '81 Committee of Student Government are trying very hard to provide activities that all students will appreciate and enjoy. Without the cooperation of the student body, nothing positive can be accomplished. Because Wilkes is a small school, the students have a unique opportunity to run a good part of the school. We should take advantage of this good fortune. This is your school, and to prove we are worth something, as a whole, we all have to help. Not only do the Deans, Housing Office, and place of function need to be notified of an upcoming event, but most importantly the Social Comm'ittee must be notified if every event is expected to be successful. Thank you, Marla Brodsky Social Committee Co-chairman NOTICE Nominations for the Class of '82 Student Government repre, sentatives will be held Thursday, Oct. 12, in the CPA at 11 a.m. ,-------------~--7 l MANUSCRIPT REUIEW l How about writing a review of the Bob Dylan concert recently held at the Broome County Arena in Binghamton, N.Y.? Sounds easy enough . The concert was held Sept. 24 at 8 p.m ., and all seating was reserved with tickets selling for $10,$8.50 and $7. Beyond these little bits of trivia , I found it very difficult to objectively review Dylan's performance on that particular Sunday night. I kept trying to formulate in my mind how to construct an article on one of the most explosive and formative artists to emerge from the late sixties. Does the Robert Zimmerman of 197~ still have the same r elevance and importance to our lives, as wP II as our society, as the man who adopted the first name of the po, t, Dyla n Thomas? Can Bob Dylan still produce the same qua lity ,, ., material that made him one of our idols? I cannot critically disc u ; Dylan's musical statements in context with what he used to be. F. ce it, no one can dismiss any recent endeavor of a particular arti ~1 in relation to what he-she was ten years ago. To make that kind of j udgment is unfair both to the artist and to yourself. The youth movement is not nearly as useful, or as involved with what is going on in the world as the movement was in the late sixties; the Vietnam War is over, and to put it bluntly and untastefully, "Time has moved on." My question is how has Dylan changed with the movement of tim e. Is Dylan's new album Street Legal, and his recent tour both sell-outs to commercialism, or is Dylan making a serious and convincing look at American society. . Dylan and the band are only memories, and now it is Bob Dylan supported by 11 other memb<.'rs. Of course, the musical style is going to be different. But are his musical statements as relevant to my life today as his statements were for me yesterday? I believe that Dylan has not sold out. He has m erely changed with the times to be able to make statementsabout the current state of affairs in America . You ca nnot write a Shakespearian sonnet today and expect it to have the same importance as when Shakespeare was writing; it has been done before. lf Dylan's musical statements of today remained the same as the Dylan statements of the sixties, he would be nothing more than a ritual. In this sense, Dylan could be compared to a bureaucrat who plays it safe but never rises in the bureaucracy. If Dylan tenaciously held on to what he was in the sixties, he never would have a·d vanced to become the legend that I consider him to be. · Dylan is experimenting with a new musical style, but his musicical statementsare as important to our society today as his statements were in the sixties. Dylan must be considered in 1!178 conditions, to view him otherwise is to refute your own aging, as well as Dylan's and society's advancement with time. A person can change with the times without losing their basic identity. Changes do occur, but there is something about that person that remains the same. Bob Dylan ended his Binghamton concert with these words, "May you stay forever young."

Campus Personalities ............................. .. Meet Mark 'John Belushi' Rado in the habit." For the record, Mark claims to be one of the "all time kings" of TV trivia. But when Mark tears himself a way from the tube, he and his room ate · ( his third), sure know how to throw a party. He looks to last year's celebration of a thirdplace finish in the College softball tournament as the "best party ever. We were partying well past 5 a.m., when the Wilkes College campus police joined in." Univited of course. Ah yes ... move over John Belushi. Mark, for his part, labels the College's new drinking policy "outlandish." For those of you who don't care about Mark's view on the drinking policy, pretend you never read this part. After three scintillating interviews with our student leaders, I thought I would take you to the opposite end of the spectrum and present Mark Rado, Wilkes College's answer to John Belushi. Mark graduated from Carle Place High School, Long Island, in 1975. He chose to attend Wilkes College on the basis of his interest in the school's pre-med program, in which he hoped to become involved. With this intention in mind, Mark Rado became a freshman bio major. "I changed my major within six weeks," said Mark. "See, I lived in Warner House, and in the old days that was THE partying dorm . I never really wanted to be a doctor anyway; who was I kidding?" Dr<;>pping bio, Mark chose to become a business administration major. He hopes to someday own his own restaurant. Which brings us to Mark's fanatical dedication to the consumption of food. A dedication which led him to seek employment ih various restaurants in the College area. "If not for those restaurants, " said Mark, "I would have starved. College food is nothing to write home about. " The only thing Mark enjoys more tha11 eating is watching TV.l!is daily television habit includes everything from soap operas to the late, late movie. "We have eight TV's in my house," he commented. "It sorta got me ,l Moving into the realm of athletics ... Mark emerges as an intramural football star, an intramural basketball coach and, most notably, a manager for the basketball team. "I always liked tall men," admitted Mark. Turning mildly serious, Mark talked a bout his love for basketball. "But," he sighed, "being 5' 9" tall and weighing 195 lbs. made me realize that I was cut out to be manager." There seems to be no truly suitable way to end the Mark Rado story. Perhaps the best thing to say is that Mark wiU graduate from Wilkes, despfte everything, in 1980. That is, providing there ar.e no good movies · on TV during finals week.

Yes fans, the "biggie" for scoopers, Homecoming Weekend, is rapidly approaching. In order to prepare you for the weekend festivities we will review OUR candidates for Homecoming Queen, another one of the vital links in our "Wilkes College Family" ( the names have been changed to protect the innocent). Our first candidate is " Cruddy Tooth." Cruddy's sole hobby is swimming ( especially out to meet troop ships). Numero dos (yes friends, we are bilingual) is "Leggy Raunchier," or the "raunch" as she is known to some, enjoys such activities as hanging out on the square and reportedly has been heard yelling, "Hey buddy, only a buck-two-eighty!" I Hello and Welcome to the W.C. Scoop Spectacular. We're bringing you the scoops and poops of Wilkes College. Today many sports will be covered.

Melon is also known as the "Rona Barrett" of greater Wyoming Valley. "Sm!)_lla Morpukesick," next in the .line-up, spends most of her spare time laying across parking spaces for her friends. However, this hobby has caused .Smella a great deal of heart ache as can be evidenced by the tire tread marks running up and down her body. C "Hairy Mane Nutty" is known for her never-ending determination to stay on the retirement plan at Wilkes College and collect the "Crazy Bill Manley" decade award at graduation. Another candidate, "Handy Acrylic," reportedly has given up conventional make-up in favor of latex house paint. Rumor has it that Handy finds this lasts longer; however, Sears is still comparing her face to the paint on Thomas Jefferson's house. Remember friends, the real "winner" will be announced at the bonfire, which hopefully will take place where Denison hall is now located. Following this GALA event, a reception will be held at Donahue's where Bonnie, the Homecoming Queen of 1932, will welcome the kick-off of Donahue's on Thursday. And now it is time to turn to a very serious matter-last year W.C. was hit with Sal-mineo disease; well, the disease of this month is "rampart" boredom.

The Wilkes College football team reached it last Saturday. No, the Blue and Gold did not win, but they did hang tough, only to drop a come-back-from-ahead loss to the Vikes of Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. Wilkes, now 1-2, will ho,st Bloomsburg State this Saturday afternoon at 1: 30 at Ralston Field in the annual Parents' Day conclave. Bloom is 2-2, having won its last two starts. · Back to fast week's game. The Colonels had an early lead and held on to it for three quarters against the Upsala defense, which is ranked fourth nationally. Paul Kotulak tallied Wilkes only TD on the day with a 65-yard run from scrimmage only a few minutes into the ball game. The ru·n was one of the few bright offensive spots on the day for Wilkes. How long are we going to hear that phrase, "FEW OFFENSIVE BRIGHT SPOTf,? " · After Kotulak's score, Upsala countered with a 42-yard field goal by Mike Largey, who happens to be at the Jersey school on a basketball scholarship. Get the foot ready, Zap. Right before the end of the half, Upsala had a golden opportunity to take the lead, as the vikes had three shots at the Wilkes goal from the one-yard line. The Colonels "D" rose to the occasion and stopped them for no points. It was like 1967 all over again and we were watching the Green Bay defense in their patented goalline stand. A great job by Lukas' Loonies, one tough bunch of cookies. On the third play of the second half, juniQr Mike Patrick, having a .quiet great year, intercepted an Ups·a la aerial, and Dan Pisarcik capped the drive with a 24-yard field goal and Wilkes led 10-3 with 9: 49 left in the third quarter. Six minutes later the Upsala "D" came through and trapped Pisarcik in the end zone for a safety after a high snap from center. · Following Wilkes' free kick, Steve Hustik capped a 14-play, 52-yard drive with a six-yard run with 13: (fl left to play to put the Vikes ahead to stay. Later in the period, faced with a fourth and 11 situation from the 19-yard line, Pisarcik faked punt and passed, like Joe would, 23-yards to end a •••••••••• Cavanaugh Fast?********** Intramural Football The Chickenhawks' John Cavanaugh is said to be able to run so fast he seems to be streaking. On Wednesday, he proved just that as he returned a kickoff the lerigth of the field - fumbling his pants at the fifty-yard line. The blush-faced Warner House team were tough opponents for the top-ranked Chickenhawks before falling 27-18. Matt Kultys and Les Nicholas were flying high for the Hawks. The Vets saw tough action this week and promptly lost three battles .. The wrestlers were first to invade the Vets as Bart Cook ran them to a 30-0 victory. 'The wrestlers two big men, Ed "Too Tall" Johnson, and Pat O'Callahan, held the Vets "coreless. The Vets then took the purple heart and forfeited to · the Chickenhawks. The regrouped Vets, ready for more ha ttle, traveled to Rider Country, which eventually led to retreat. The New Riders, recovering from their first loss in four years . displayed a new quarterback in Bill Polaha. He unleashed bomb after born b to receivers Mark Sanders and the one-hand snatcher Dicky Bernier, as the Riders romped !50-6. The Vets did have g<>od news despite the three losses, there were no reported casualties. In the gold divisi<'n, the big story ( AS ALWAYS) was Kilgore Trout and Co. The pre"iously unbeaten and number one ranked team were upset by the Dave Levitch Fan Club, 12-8. Greg Tomcho and John Senatore led the attack · on Kilgore. Comments were made by members of Kilgore concerning the game, but they were unfit to print. The long-a waited matchup of Kilgore vs. STUDS took place on Wednesday. Kilgore was tired and sore from the Levitch defeat, and the Studs were all well rested, but minus the services of two-thirds of its famed "Jail-house" defense. It was a battle of the defenses. Kilgore Trout was le(i by Perry " Two Team" Lichtinger, fleetfooted Ken Hughes, and "Disco" Dean D' Amico. Neil Pufko led the assault on Kilgore, but the Trout prevailed in a thrilling 12-6 win. The STUDS took their act on the road to meet the Flying Circus Volume II. In a rough effort led by Ronnie Savitsky ( who has been ejected in his last two games) and "Meatball" Bob Matzelli ( who will enjoy his case of Heiniken), the STUDS won 19-0. In the only other game played, Dave Singer and STX held the Circus scoreless again, 13-0. Its .· time for the Flying Circus to hire a new act. SIDELINERS: .. ,consider an ·i ntramural rule change - why not let students who lettered in varsity last year but are not eligible for varsity this season, play in tram urals. After all they are students too ... . J erry Antosh is one of the best refs in the league, ask Dave Hunga rter. .Jay Mack Cliff Jones for a first down. Jones, who enjoyed a great day for Wilkes, was one man away from completing the play for a 81-yard touchdown. The drive however, stalled after two QB sacks. Still with 1: Z3 left to play, Coach Rollie Schmidt inserted freshman Tom Cywinski in the lineup to get a strong-arm to hopefully get Wilkes a score and a victory. If Cywinski keeps coming in late in the game, _som_ebody might think he is Sparky Lyle or Rolhe Fmgers. The former Nanticoke Area star passed 18-yards to Homer T_,opresto, which put the ~all on the 32. Lopresto was roughed up after gomg out of bounds and Upsala was penalized another 15-yards. Cywinski's nl:xt aerial we~t off a Wilkes receiver and was mtercepted. Still, at the O: 31 mark Wilkes got the ball back again, as the defense contained the Vikes in no time. Cywinski' s first pass was a replay of his last, it bounced off a Wilkes reciver and was intercepted, this time the Vike returned it for a score. It would be nice to see the freshman, who shows a bullet arm, get a start. You know, they started Jim Kaat this year. And it would prob~bly 1?e even nicer i f somebody would let semor Bill Sia voski get a shot at doing something. So after three ·games, what is there to sa_y about the Wilke.s football team. The defense is doing the job, and we still find a lack of offense. If anybody knows the reason why please speak up or forever hold your Wilkes athletic pass. Lets hope the roses Bloom for Wilkes this Saturday. GRID BITS: ... WBRE Radio was late getting on the air due to the ineptness of the New Jersey telephone Co ...

Maintenance, Alcohol Discussed be finished include the replacement of furniture in residence halls, new carpeting and cleaned curtains in New Mens Dorm ( to be done during semester break), painted fire escapes and more efficient boilers for heating the buildings. Due to the recent problems with maintenance men not doing these jobs, IDC is looking into the possibility . of hiring students on a part-time basis to perform such maintenance duties as carpentry, gardening and painting. Previous exper- "It's the biggest problem on campus," stated President Gary Toczylowski at Sunday · night's IDC meeting. He was referring to what he termed a lack of maintenance and upkeep of the grounds and buildings at the College. Problems with raingutters, water-sogged floors and broken door locks have prompted IDC to apply pressure in order to attempt to remedy 'the situation. According to Toczylowski, checklist items "promised" to ience would, of course, be nee~ essary. Alcohol Issue Raised The alcohol committee met la t Tuesday with Dean Ralston to discuss reasons for a slight change in the party policy. Anticipating that students "are gonna get fed up" with SUB and Commons parties, committee members pushed for the allowance of quarter kegs in the dormitories under conditions -that would allow no more than one quarter pe! hall on ll.ny mind. It seems a gap has risen over the years between the two neighboring colleges, which has resulted in somewhat of a riyalry. Dean Ralston, IDC and King's students' want to · try to bridge that gap. Ideas for this inter-college party include a Baverian festival or an Oktoberfest. However, this event, due to its complexity, may be put off until the spring. Plans for the immediate future include the possibility of a Wilkes-King's dance to be held here. However, legal questions need to be studied before this can happen. given night and that the RA. dorm residents and Housing Director approve of it at least 24 hours in advance. Also the person who requests permission must be at least 21 years of age. Committee members felt that anything more than a quarter would constitute a "party." This idea, if adopted, would be for private parties only. Two factors the committee is relying on to foster this proposal are that beer by the quarter is not only cheaper, but also makes for .Jess bottles and cans to be littered around campus. Ideas for Halioween activities were also points of ·.concern. A possible inter-dorm "Jack O' Lantern" contest, in which the lanterns would be displayed at the annual Halloween party, was one idea. A haunted house was another. Also mentioned was the possibility of an "all-college event" which would be held offcam pus. This event would be held with King's College in Th iS Ye ar 'S Fa CU Ity EV aIUat iOn S ~,,-0_-,-••-,-,o■•-~ To be Con.ducted in Classes •orllCQuee■ Set for Today The evaluation of the faculty by students will be conducted this semester in the classroom as opposed to mailing the forms to students as done last year. This was announced at the Student Government meeting Monday night by Steve Kirshner, SG president. Letters are currently being written and sent to the faculty explaining what SG's intentions are. A date will be set up by the professor for a SG repre, sentative to come into the classroom and have the forms completed. This will yield a much greater participation in the evaluation from students and therefore be more meaningful. Last year's participation in the evaluation was a bout 20 percent. A professor may refuse to have the evaluation conducted during class time but students of these professors will have their forms mailed to them. The evaluation form itself has been revised to what most SG representatives agree is a vast improvement.

A very gutsy person. Stella, a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, will receive her fine arts degree from Wilkes at the end of this year. Her degree will be accompanied by a background in both biology and chemistry. ; 'I've been in as much as I could since I came here," said Stella. Stella, you must understand, is part of a · rare and vanishing breed here at Wilkes.

Once she became president of year's analysis, the points CC, Stella set her sights on ranged from a high of 63 to a low of 2.

After the stickers were for things like a wine and · awarded, she saw to it that cheese arty or a trip to New those who didn't get stickers were contacted and made aware of the possible carpools in their area. Lest someone think that those with stickers had pulled some strings, Stella abolished any form of special consideration which may have 'been a practice. No Parking Sticker To do so, she had to reject the requests made by various faculty and staff members for special consideration for the people working for them. She even discontinued the practice of awarding parking spaces to CC members, including herself. "I don't have a parking sticker," she said. "You'll find my car in the Park and Lock." Stella questions the fact that IDC was given more parking spaces than CC, saying, "Commuters have to travel. There's no way around it. Resident students, they're here." Stella was extremely anxious for .me to relay the importance of comm uni cation between commuters and the council. "That's what we're here for," she said. She feels that students must have an interest in what goes on, on cam pus. Posting the bulletin board in the Commons is a CC effort to bridge the communication gap. ''We'll go to them." "We'll Do It" Stella stressed the importance of students voicing their requests. "If it's feasible, we'll do it," she said, pointing to the addition of the jukebox to the Commons as an example. Also, she talked about the musical . variety soon to be installed in the box, another student request. , It does seem that one of the problems with the somewhat-suffering social life at Wilkes is related to the fact that there seems to be so much distance between commuters and the college. This makes for a situation which is reminiscent of high school, where school was from 8 a.m . til 3 p.m. , and forgotten at 3: 01. Stella Korpusik has been successful in dealing with the parking situation. Now she seems ready for even more challenges. She IS gutsy.

Fitld Hochtg Optns; Capture first Two _The Wi!kes Co!lege . fie!~ hoc~ey team got off to a great start with two ~mpress1ve v1ctor1es this past week. The Colonelet.tes, who played with a lot of spirit, continued to attack their opponents th;ough_out the contes~. On _Thursday, Wilkes opened the year with a 2-0 wm over the Umvers1ty of Scranton. Coach Meyers said that "I luh U" was very much improved and that the ball moved at a fast pace for the first five to ten minutes of action, before -at 12: 05 ~Pni~r co:captain Julie ~errick passed to sophomore Patty Para'. venll for the women's first goal of the season. Paraventi was in her first collegiate contest as a starter, after working hard during thP off season on what .Coach Meyers refers to as "Toughness." Th e second goal was scored by Kerrick, on an assist from ParaVl'nti. Wil~es completely dominated the game, as shown by the differenee in shots on goal. Wilkes had 26, as compared to nine for the Royalettes. Helen Gorgas, a freshman started at center-half, Terri Burak at left-half, and Paraventi at left-inside, which showed that th_t> Colonelette~ were playing with inexperience individuals, who will hopefully pick up some experience in the early contests. Karen Worhnsky moved from left-half to sweep and Kerrick went from right-inner to left-wing. The combo of Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Snyder did a fine job, intercepting passes and advancing the offensive attack for Wilkes. On Saturday i_n Parent's D~y, the Colonelettes downed Albright 7-1 at Ralston Field. The scormg went as follows: Marie Elko - two goals , ~ary Jo Frail - one goal, Patti Paraventi - one goal, Jerry Ann Sm.1th - one goal, and Pam Snyder - two goals. Assists were credited_ to !,he following: Frail - three, Elko - three, and Snyder one. This time, like the last, the ladies dominated the shots on goa l, with a 46 to 11 margin. , Coach Meyers was very impressed with the women's perfo;m. a nce. "We really ha_d it clickin,9 on Saturday with some nice passes and some good scormg moves, commented Meyers. Overall, the women have surprised people, by winning, · They ha ve outscored opponents 9-1 in the first two games, due to a lot of the new faces an_d position changes. Coach Meyers did not know what to expect from her girls this year, but she is pleased with the outcome of the fir~t two_games. Practice has been going well, and by the looks of thmgs; 'It has been paying off. Another NPWIAA title is not so far out of reach. The ladies were away on Wednesday against Keystone Junior College ai:id Saturday they will host Lafayette College at 1: 00 at Ralston Field. . · Simon Kazinetz Throughout the many fabulous years c_elebrated in sports, numerous statements have been made by coaches, players, fans , and sportswriters which have gone down in history as famous quotes. Surely, everyone has heard,"It's not whether you win or lose, but its how you play the game." Everyone who was lucky enough to watch the Wilkes Gollege soccer team in action last Saturday against Bloomsburg St. probably understands and appreciates that quote much better. Although the soccer Colonels dropped a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to the Huskies, the hometowners won a moral vietory for their coaches, fans and most of all- themselves. It's been a long time since Wilkes has held it5 own against. soccer powerhouses such as Bloomsburg, which won the Pennsylvania's Eastern Conference Championship last year, a nd recently defeated Middle At !antic Conference Champion, Scranton University 2-1. Under the guidance of two excellent coaches, Hagman and Lopez and a team ready to give 100 per cent, the Blue and -Gold hooters have already taken two giant strides forward this season. After completing a 3-10 year in 1977, ·the renovated 1978 edition became a competitor with its 3-0 victory over Upsala last week. Recently the hooters became a contender with its fine showing against Bloomsburg this past season. Another achievement based on Saturday's super-sh(?wing by the Colonels was the increased fan attendance and interest. . The thrills of each time the Colonels hit the nets with a goal, made a fine play, or a mistake, triggered the emotions of most on- lookers... The Wilkes 11 played to a 1-1 deadlock with Bloomsburg during a hard-fought first half, and many fine defensive plays were displayed by both squads. Goalkeeper Cliff Brautigan had his hands full and recorded alot of diving saves throughout the con test. Nick Golowich, Kelly Nose worthy and Nicholas Pitsis contributed awesome defense. Killer Kelly, from Freedom Pa. was superb in his field marshall posftion and disappointed the adversary on many occasions. The back and forth shifting of the score kept everyone on- the edges of their seats. After the Bloomsburg team s cored the initial tally, 35 minutes into the ' first half, Wilkes retaliated with senior co-captain Mario Apuzzo finding the range six minutes later on a cross pass from sophomore Dung Chi Duong, known as the one and only- Zoomy. Junior Irving Pyun hit Zoom with a pass for the second Colone! goal ~ minutes into the second half to tie the score at 2-2. The psyched-up Blue and Gold worked real hard and moAaged to take a 3-2 lead whm Irv Pyun scored and Zoomy picked up the assist. The N"rried visitors were able to \le '<$-e score however, with .10 m;n, :-,'<$,~ remaining. The score spark, "•°' ~ enough enthusiasm among tht visitors to allow them to set-up alot of shots near the goal and eventually took the advantage. The Colonel hooters gave it all they had and hopes didn't fall until the final buzzer. If there is such a thing as losing GOOD, the hornet.owners did just that Saturday. Also registering fine defensive games were ~ophoi:nore Charles Issacs, jun10r Nie holas Pitsis and freshmen Carlos Ribiero and Mike Karns. .Co-captain Mark Ritter got back in action Saturday after missing last week's opener due to back injury. Warren Bush, freshman Mark LePore and Rit· ter swarmed the Husky offense on many second half offensive threats. The Wilkesmen were slated to meet Muhlenberg yesterday at the Mules home field. Last season the Maroon and Grey handed the Blue and Gold a 6-1 setback but if Wilkes can continue its fantastic teamwork, the story should be different, despite the home field advantage. Wilkes remains on the road with Lycoming Saturday for a 10: 30 match-up at Williamsport.

Questions were being raised as to whether there was a mark-up on the prices of books and for what reason. Also, Student Government wa! investigating the r eturn policy as to how it came about and who implemented the new policy. As r eported in The Beacon last week it seemed SG was not getting straight answers but it seems that it was just a misunderstanding. In speaking with Charles Abate, business manager, he said that the bookstore sells books acording to suggested list prices. This is usually about an increase of 20 per cent in the price over what the bookstore pays the publisher . The money made off the books sold i~ to pay for the salar ies and overhea d of the bookstore which operates on a budget of zero profit. When asked if ther e was a nyway the price of books could be less than the suggested list price but above the cost of the book, Abate said " there is no way of cutting prices unless the College subsidizes the bookstore and we have no room to subsidi ze." He also pointed _out that many colleges do not observe the suggested list prices and charge more. " We have never sold a book above the suggested list pri/:e." reported Abate. The Return Policy In 1976 our book return policy, according to Miss Mildr ed Gittens, manager of the bookstore, was that any book could be r eturned within the first two weeks with a receipt ·and the Mild controversy centered around the college bookstore concerning the never-ending rise in book prices and the return policy, . After conducting a survey with other area colleges, the return policy has b~en revised. books could not be ma rked. F rom Abate' s office, a survey was conducted with other area colleges in J a nua ry, 19TI concerning their book return policies which a re as follows: Marywood College- Students are given up to two weeks of the semester for a cash refund on books. The student must show a receipt with a slip indicating dropping from ' a course or that the course was cancelled. University of Scranton- Books can be returned within ten days accompanied by a drop slip or the course must be cancelled. King's College- Students have two weeks to return their books for a cash refu nd. A receipt is needed along witp a dr op slip or the course has to be ca ncelled. Luzerne County Community College- Three weeks is the limit to return books if they show a drop slip or that the course was cancelled. College Misercordia - Students can only return books if they drop the course, the course was ca ncelled or the book defective. From this survey Abate formula ted the new 'policy within the guidelines set by the other colleges. The policy now r eads that students can return books within three weeks as long as the student dropped the course or the course was cancelled. Abate reasoned for these stringe nt return policies by stating that the "publishers are tightening up." He said that at one time th e bookstore could retu r 11 any amount of books to the publisher for credit. However, these da ys, there is a time limit involved in returning books along with how many you can return. If'students end up with a book that they simply don't need for a wide variety of reasons there is always the Student Government Used Bookstore which oper a~es at the beginning of each semester and is great place to save money. Jim Edwards Salmonellosis Culp~it Repol'ted to -1,e Celery . Contaminated celery is reported to be responsible for the out- . break of some 29 'salmonellosis cases , last spring. This was a nnounced last week in a report by Dr. John Turner, head of the Kirby Health Center . Turner told The Beacon that the State Department of Health investigated the problem, and, while it is not 100 per cent sure, it is " quite certain" that the bacteria originated in California .celery. He stated that celery is not a usual food in which :SalmoneHa can be found, as investigators normally turn to high-protein foods, to which seven out of ten problems can be traced. According to Turner, the Department of Health's theory is that the ·celery was fertilized in California with chicken manure. After heavy rainfa ll caused flooding and mud-slides, contamination of ,_ the ra w celery resulted, leading _to the _presence of the bacteria. The celery was then shipped to the East coast, where part of it ended up in various colleges in this and neighboring states where outbreaks of the illness also occured. ' Turner commented that this situation involving contaminated celer y was very unusual, and emphasized that the problem " had nothing to do with the food handling operation at Wilkes " or with the food supplier, M.W. Wood. ' Wi_lkes Food Service Director William Denion reported that he obtams c_elery from both local and out-of-town sources, and could not say Just where the contaminated celery was purchased. He also remarked that the situation was "a real fluke--just one of those things that happen." ffllma Jlur1t ...

White card workers from the Act 101 pr ogram would run the baby-sitting service all day and night and each family would be charged five dollars a week. Ralston said that this was a good idea but not something new to the campus. A day care center was in operation during the 1950' s but eventually fa ded out.

The six dorms were Webster, Dirkson, Catlin, Susquehannock, Grissom , and Hollenback. Except for one incident, in which a window was smashed. by a couple of local high school students, Toczylowski com· mented that "it went over really well" citing good security, plenty of beer, and a good turnout as reasons why. Some suggestions brought up by the me members about the party were that the food could have been better distributed. Also discussed was the fact that a · good portion of the student body was unable to attend the party due to capacity problems. A suggestion was made by an IDC representative to have a party in both the SUB and the Commons simultaneously, thus expanding the crowd. As of now this idea is in its planning stages by the senior class, according to Toczylowski. The food and band for the par ty cost IDC $550. The beer and other refreshments' expense was not available at the time of the meeting. The cost of the bash brought up the issue of how much money a dorm should be allowed to ! make as a result of parties. Currently, the profit limit is al 25 dollars. Any surplus of this sum is supposedly to go to an IDC special fund to be used to aid dorms in throwing parties. However, this, according to Toczylowski has not been enforced. A suggestion was made to drop the profit limit and in a subsequent vote, the IDC members tallied a 13 to 8 vote favoring no limit. Among the reasons for want- · ing a limit is controlling the possibility of the abuse of profit by the dorms." This "abuse" was described by Joe Marchetti, housing director, as the opening of private dorm baµk accounts in which the College can have no control over. Other suggestions concerning dorm profits were to make a "limit on how much to sell tickets for." The idea behind this is to see to it that the expenses of the party coincide with the cost and profit limit. Also in mind here is to keep the price of tickets as low as possible, because as one member stated, "I can't afford all these parties." The administation's view on dorm profits is that a limit should be set. " Personally, I think there has to be a limit," Marchetti said, stating that he believed the parties primary reason for existance should be for social reasons and not dorm finances. A profit committee was formed last night at the conclusion of the meeting. 'rhose dorms interested in having a party must see Dean Arthur Hoover to fill in a "detailed form" discussing among other things, expense and profit. Other business included the election of Judy Wing as corresponding secretary for IDC. A psychology major from New York, her job will be to help bring a "better communication between colleges and councils." She will be instrumental in the planning of a proposed Spring "field day" involving colleges from all over Pennsylvania. The vote by the council was 19 for Judy and 10 for Steve Elko, the other nominee. In other business, the confusion brought on by the "cold meat lunch" last week was also a topic of discussion. It seems there was a misunderstanding between me and M. W. Wood, the food supplier, on the frequency of such a meal. IDC believed the lunch meat would be out everyday. However, an M. W. Wood representative stated that the program was . being used as a "monotany breaker" of the usual lunchtime meals. Since the College cafeteria budget cannot handle the expense. Also, it was stated that starting a week from Sunday and continuing all year on the last Sun- . Ste day of each month, a steak dinner will be served. The activities' committee reported that on Sunday, Oct. l; an arts and crafts workshop will take place. Among the activities will be the sale of flowers, popcorn, cotten candy, and Greek food. For dorms interested in preparing any dishes, me will fund the ingredients. New,Dorm Linen _Service EstablishedThis Year When the -semester began a few weeks ago returning residents were relieved to discover that the old linen service had been set to the laundry. Surely several returning students , thought they had walked into the wrong rooin in the basem ent of Pickering Hall. Instead of returning to the confused, diorganized system to which students were used to complaining a bout, the students were introduced to a new linen system, which was the product of many hours of work over the summer months. . The new system was devised after many complaints were received about the old system. \fr. William Penick, the district manager of Sanitary Leasing fiic . .which operates the linen service, suggested 1 that a system being .used sikcessfully at Bloomsburg State College be tried. After being sold on the idea, Joe Marchetti and Jeanne Conway of the · housing office were faced with the task of selling the system to the administration. . The linen room saw some changes as the new system was set up. Locker.s for _each student were installed along with numbers and keys and brand new linen was supplied. The new , system makes it possible for students to make linen exchanges at any time of the day. · . - , -~ .,~ BookAad · :Record Mart'. 1-88.

Tony Lillis OOKS* RECORDS & T The cost of the service is covered by the room and board fee. Each resident student receives the use of two sheets, one pillow case, and three bath towels. Marchetti indicated that so far all reactions of the students have been positive. Greg Tomcho, student director of assistants ha~ also commented that the new system is better. But, perhaps Mr. William Penick, the representative of , the linen service, put it best when he said, "no more standing around and picking your nose." Louis Czachor , Sr. Soc Major Earns Award Ann Timko, a senior sociology major, was the recipient of the "Dr. Jaroslav G. Moravec Memorial Scholarship" rec.ently. The presentation was made by Mrs. Moravec at a luncheon in Weckesser Hall. , The memorial fund has been established for a student genuinely interested in sociology and anthropology who intends to pursue graduate studies in that or allied fields.

MANUSCRIPT REUIEW A unique wood-cut print display is currenty on exhibit at Sordoni Art Gallery, and will run until October 8. If you find color and texture in art exciting, this show is not to be missed. The work is by Joseph Domjan, an internationally-regarded master. Domjan mixes his own pigment to create a wide range of exquisite color. Of particular interest in this aspect of his work is "Az~re Cloud," ~n which a vibrant red peacock is displayed agamst a c.ontrasting background of varying hues of blue. The peacock, or phoenix, is of special significance to Domjan. He feels that the color range of the bird fulfills his concern to "nurture ( color) through a modern artistic idiom without trying to be imitative or nost;i.Igic." Domjan's work requires great skill and a ·time-consuming concentration on deta!l. His subject matter- includes not only· the peaC?ck, ~ut ?ther obJect:, from the natural world as well as figures of h1stor1cal mterest. Prmts such as "Split Moon,' '- "Deep Poppy" and "Attila" provide a variety of aestheic beauty. . .The depth of imagery which Domjan reaches provides provocat10n for th?ught.

A few. He s tarted off by being elected freshman class representative and serving as chairma n for the March-of-Dimes Tex&F walk-a-thon. Still, Steve finished his firs t semester sporting a 3.8 avera ge. But lurking around the corner was second semester chemistry taught by the " legendary" Dr. Faut. Ah yes, many are ca lled but few are chosen. Steve' s cum " fell" to 3.24. In his sophomore year, Steve wa s re-elected as class rep. Now he began to extend himself further, becoming squad leader for the emergency alert team, instructing CPR, and chairing Human Services Committee. So now it wa s time for Steve to apply for admission to Hahnemann Medical School. Once again, "many are called." :AYAt UflOA~IHAYH :IS:1:IH~ YNnJ.

It has come to our attention that the Phoebe population at Wilkes College is growing in leaps and bounds. This is a great concern throughout the c·a mpus, as well as in the community. What is a phoebe? We're glad you asked. phoebe-I. a feeble-minded person, 2. can be used in place of jerk, arse-hole, whip, squirrel, weirdo, etc. Since we don't know the exact count, of phoebes at W.C., we would like everyone to participate in a survey. It is commonly referred to as a P.AT.--Phoebe Aptitude Test--used by most of the prestigious institutions in America. By answering these simple questions, · we will be able to calculate the percentage of phoebes on campus and therefore be able to take action accordingly.

We've said it many times, but just to Jet the new-comers get in on the scene, we'll say it again--"If you' ve got poop to scoop, we'll scoop it!" Let us begin-Household hints for freshmen eating in the caf-1. If the food is moving, ie., crawling, squirming or running . ( yes, it sometimes runs)--whack it a couple of times with your fork. The food should quiet down enough as to make it easier to get in your mouth. 2. When you hear a certain "Freddy" yelling, " Very tasty, very tasty," ignore him! He' s a chronic liar and has _had the condition for years. 3. It is sometimes helpful to bring Nair to the caf when chicken is being served. Rumor has it the caf chicken has more hair on it than does a certain housing director we all know and love. · HAPPY EATING, FROSH! Steve was not a ccepted. But it wasn't the decision that bothered him as mu'ch as the reason for it. Steve was told that during his interview he "appeared nervous," that "nervousness leads to tension," a nd " tension is not a good r isk in medical school." One understands the frustration Steve must have been feeling. A frustration he no doubt shared with scores of other applicants. "I just accepted it," he said," and geared up for another try in two years." . Steve plans to reapply to Hahnemann. He doesn't give up easily. Steve's ability to withstand frustration will be a necessary chara cteristic if he is to be successful as Student Government president. He wants to "tie the students and administration together ." That could frustrate a nybody. Steve sees the Student Governm ent as an "organized group of students that the administr ator s will listen to." The big projec t for this year's council will be investigating the benefits of having professors serve as advisors. Also planned is an improved system for teacher evaluation. Steve feels that the Student Government is powerful enough at Wilkes to effect change. He points to the .5 system, a student government project, as an example. "But," said Steve, "we're open and willing to listen to suggestions. Two Thousand students have .more ideas than Zl." So,, once again we find a stu. dent-run organization seeking student involvement. "We can't work alone," he said. But knowing Steve, if all else fails, he'll try it anyway. Ed Van Buren Jr. Olt?WOJ f . .- iii gang! - is a tradition -~ ------- --, Males only: . 7.

The above quote appeared in an internal evaluation report from the State Bureau of Equal Educational Opportunity ( B.E.E .O.( · and was made in reference to the Wilkes College Act 101 Operation Phoenix Program. A state evaluator visited Wilkes in March to determine the degree of compliance Operation Phoenix exhibits relative to guidelines and program expenditures. The official report, which was released la te in August, praises the program highly, along with the director, Dr. J. George Siles, and the Staff ( Joan McGuiness, Rosemary Marchese and Mary Kane) . ... "There appears to be a sincere effort by the administration to develop a long-term quality program ." Perhaps this statement (also extracted from the evaluation report) explains the dramatic effect the Act 101 Program has had at Wilkes College. During its two year existence at the college, Operation Phoenix has rapidly expanded from 30 students ( HY76) to 120 students ( present enrollment) . Thus, in. two years the Act 101 students have become approximately six percent of the Wilkes College population. . Coreen Milazzo, Act 101 tutor, is pictured above with Act 101 student Joe McCree. Mary Kane, Act 101 Tutor Coordinator, looks on. - Passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1976, the program was initiated to assist ' underprepared persons to work toward a college degree, and was designed specifically to serve the student's needs. Under the leadership of Conrad Jones, director of B.E.E.O., Herbert Bickford at at the state level, and with the efforts of the Wilkes College faculty and administration, the ActJ0l Program has become an integral part of the Wilkes College life. Reenie Corbett Wh en it's who, what, when or where that you need to know, the Wilkes College Connection can tell you. Just pick up the phoqe and dial t 717) 826-1135 to get the latest scoop on such college events as the Concert and Lecture Series, art exhibits, sports and community-related activities. Parents, alumni and interested a rea residents, along with students, use the 24-hour service. A three minute recorded message lets them know up-to-da te information regarding tim es and locations of events, as well as results from the manv athletic contests. Operation of the service began in February 1977 with equipment purchased th.rough a grant by an anonymous benefactor of the College. The sys- tern is modeled after sports information lines already in use at Lehigh a_nd West Point. · Theaters and businesses have also been using these information lines for years. ----NOTICE---College IDs are required for . admission to home intercollegiate athletic events. This year, for the first time, IDs · must be presented to the person on duty at the gym when the facility is open for student recreation during the evening and weekend hours. This requirement has been made because of the increasing num her of non-Wilkes students who have been using the gym . George Pawlush, public relations director, is very optimistic a bout the service, because as he said,"lts potential is unlimited. We are striving for the 'Wilk% College Connection' to be an all-purpose public relations vehicle for our' many academic, fine arts and community-r~!ated activities at the College. So far, the · connection is proving to be just that. Last Ma y, when storms threatened to move the outdoor commenc ement exercises into the gym , the line was used to keep students and parents informed a s to the status of the cerem oni es. Th e connection averages a bout 50 calls a day. During the E astern Wrestling Tourname nt at Syracuse, N.Y. last yea r, the line received about 400 ca lls over the weekend, ecording its busiest 36-hour period. · Despite its success, the public seems to be relatively unfamiliar with the connection. Business cards with the phone number have been distributed throughout campus · and the number. will also appear in the upcoming telephone book. Once again, the number is (717) 826-1135. So, if informa\ - --- I There's a new club on campus, cal led Chi Alpha . The cl ub, which takes its na me from · "christou a postoloi," meaning "Christ's sent ones," is an inte rnational Christian ministr~ to college and universit-)'.: campuses a nd is within the mainstream of Pentecostal ( charismatic) doctrine.

Coach Meyers was also pleased about the experience gained by some of the rookie girls, and feels it could be a significant addition to the 1978 field hockey team. Another scrimmage was held last Saturday with· the lady Colonels taking on the alumni in an exhibition. The alumni turnout was the best ever, as 14-old faces came back to the . Ralston Field for hockey. The 1978 edition edged the old-timers 2-1 as Pam Snyder and Patty Paraventi knotched goals. The lone goal for the alumni came from Sue Funke, a 1976 graduate. Coach Meyers commented that the defense played very well and is coming along better than expected. The greatest bright spot for the Wilkes hockey team was the play of soph Karen "Wendy" Worlinski. Karen, the queen of the second floor of Parrish Hall, is playing fullback for the team · after starting at left-half last season. The reason for the joy of Mrs. Meyers about Karen's ·success, is that she replaces Jean Johnson, (now · Mrs. Paul Jordan).

Upsala is an MAC opponent, while Lock Haven is a non-conference, non-league foe. The Colonelettes faced powerful Lock Haven in the season's opener, and _ suffered a "severe case of nerves," as Coach Sandra B109mberg termed it. A relatively inexperienced, rebuilding team ; its members were a fittle short in the self-confidence department, but quickly learned that the world doesn't end if you lose. Losing was the word for the day, a.s Wilkes dropped all seven matches, winning only a few games during the process. · But the women also learned some valuable lessons in . mental preparation and gained needed playing experience. . . The score for the next match agairi~t Upsala two days later . seems to point to a dramatic improvement, as the Blue and Gold l ost a close 5-4 battle. There weren't many cases of the jitters this time, and · individual scores were better, although competition was characterized by errors by both teams. . However, the match, forced indoors by rain, wasn't as close as the official score . indicated. Upsala built up a 5-1 lead by winning three double .matches and two of the bottom three singles, and then forfeited first, second and third singles as those players were warming up on the court. Wilkes was credited with those wins, raising the score to 5-4. • Karen Polumski won sixth singles 6-1,6-1, but the most exciting match was in second doubles, as Cindy Yagloski and Sandy May took the first set to a tie-brea ker before -losing 7-6.

An away match with Bucknell was scheduled for Monday, but was postponed to next Wednesday due to rain. The team appears to be stable in terms of remaining players, as 14 are regular team members. At this point, the placements are as follows: First singles-Reenie Corbett, a senior ·who played fourth and fifth last year, is a four-year player. Her hitting has been stronger this year, and when her net play mat.ches her ground strokes, she should be ready for a really fine year. Second singles-Judy Bellas was a member of last year's first doubles team, and has since improved to the point where she has moved into singles competition. Third singles-Rose McMahon, a junior, was Rose' s doubles partner and has also entered lone competition. Fourth singles-Juni~r Debbie Welliver, plagued by injuries last year, . ha~ been doing a nice job thus far, and is hitting solidly. · . Fifth singles-Lee Schwartz, a freshman, appears to be a steady player who should improve when her serve develops more fully. .

Thus, six players, who bads devoted hours ,.to practice and mental preparation for the matches, were not allowed to play. Apparently, the Upsala coach felt that a caf dinner was more important than allowing the top competitors to play and finish the match. We think the excuse was pretty poor. This action won't hurt Upsala a.s a team, since it took home the MAC win. But it can very well harm individual players, since they must add an undeserved loss to their records, and may suffer the consequences come tournament time. The Wilkes players who "won" these matches can't feel much satisfaction either. We think that"players on both teams were the victims of an injustice, and we wonder--would Upsala have 1tcted the same had they been losing?

IDC Me~bers-Voice Displeasue With New Alcqhol Policy Rules The Inter-Dormitory Council, in its first meeting of the semester on Saturday, opened the floor for a discussion on the new alcohol policy. Most representatives' opinion of t}2e new policy was "it stinks." Gary Toczylowski, IDC president, held the discussion to get CC Clam Bake Seen Success Commuter Council members discussed the success of the recent Clam Bake . at their Tuesday meeting, noting that there was a "fantastic turnout" and "despite the rain, everyone enjoyed themselves." · These sentiments wer'e expressed by CC President Stella Korpusik, who relayed thanks to all involved in -the event. However, she also exhibited "disappointment in the commuter response." She did point out that the event proved that everyone "could control themselves," as there were "no problems, and no ope abused the grounds or the right to have beer." Another CC member noted that there was actually some beer left over. Cost of the activity is expected to run just over ~ dollars, with part of the expense being picked up by the student organizations. John Griffith gave the Student Union Board report, and revealed that beer will be allowed on the first floor of the SUB if the organizations sponsoring the party agree. The board is working on setting a limit to the profit made on these parties, and is also investigating the possibility of buying a stereo. Evaluations from the · Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvani_a were distributed to CC members by Dean Art Hoover, who asked that the forms be passed out among the student body ' until today. The purpose of the survey is to study the economic impact of higher education in this area. The proposed baby-sitting service was discussed by Tom Brooks, who is attempting to organize the project. He reported that some problems have been encountered, such as the lack of a facility on campus and a lack of enthusiasm on the part of some administrators. He claimed that the service will be established. Tentative plans were discussed and volunteers sought for Crafts Day ( Oct. 1) and Parents' Day ( Oct. 7), tutors for Upward Bound high school students were requested, and it was reported that no additional problems with the Commons juke have surfaced.

One member stated that the "Resident Assistants are being threatened to enforce it and are scared to let the students have a gathering." As another member said, "the RA' are really getting it." Another point brought up was that the freshmen have no way to socialize and meet other students. It was felt that the end result will be many . "cliques" because of small private parties. Diane . Broabeck, IDC treasurer, pointed out that George Ralston, dean of student affairs, is open, willing, and looking ·for students to talk to about the new policy. · Toczylowski reported that the first SUB party held last Friday ran smoothly and most people had a good time. He said beer was allowed on the first floor of the SUB which it usually is not and there was some beer left over from the seven halves at the party. Along the same line, six dorms, Hollenback, Webster, Catlir., Dirkson, Grissom, and Susquehanna--were planning to have a )age party, but IDC has offered to go in on the party and it will be held tomorrow night in place of IDC's block party which was scheduled for Sept. 22.

They are as follows: Dean George Ralston, Dean Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean Arthur Hoover, and Registrar Doris Barker. At Monday night''s meeting, in a closed, off the record discussion, they discussed each candida teand decided to make a final decision after Steve ·Kirshner, SG president, and Greg Black, SG vice-president, interview each candidate. Dean Ralston, who is the acting SG advisor, replaced Dean Edward Baltruchitus who left the College for a post at another college. The advisor is a person who offers . the knowledge and know-how needed to work within the College guidelines. In the past it has usually been someone from the Dean's Counc il.

Circle K Members Learn About People "Yoq. l~arn a lot about people by working with them _and helping them out." These are the sentiments of the Wilkes Circle K Club. Members of the club strive each year t.o better the lives of people and to some extent, the environment. For their efforts, Circle K has earned recognition. At the state convention in March Circle K received a number of awards, taking a first"place in "Display;" first in "Single Service [Best Service Project]" for patterning· Bobby Feebish; a second place award for contributions to Multiple Sclerosis; honorable mention in "Achievement;" and honorable mention in "Scrapbook," the description of the club's activities. At the international competition ii, Orlando,. Fla., the club cap• tured second place, the International Achievement Award, Bronze Division. Circle K President Stanley Freeda explained that the awards are given in accordance with the number of projects and their merit, as judged by other clubs. The Wilkes club was in colilpeti- . tion with groups from throughout the United States and Canada and the Caribbean as well. Emphasis areas for the club are association with the lonely, health uroiects, conservation of natural resources. uublic safetv, and recognition of outstanding individuals. Activities conducted by Circle K relating t.o these areas include: visiting and patterning Bobby Feebish, Santa's Workshop for Multiple Sclerosis, construction of the mini-park on camp.u s, and receiving the annual "Outstanding Service Award." . Pr.e sident Freeda described the Circle K experience as "another type of education besides the classroom. I think it helps build the individual." Another member of the club stated that what Circle K stands for can best be summed up in one of the International By-Laws: " t.o emphasize the human and spiritual rather than the materialistic aspects of life."

Experience with parties as they have been taking place in residence halls for the past era) years demonstrated clearly that the facilities were not adequate to accommodate such activity. Furthermore, we were not pleased with the general social behavior attendant to most such affairs and they were not well controlled. It was felt that parties could better be conducted in areas better suited to accommodate larger groups. By limiting parties in residence halls and the elimination of keg beer and large quantities of beverages we feel parties will be better controlled and without limiting the _benefits accruing from such . social gatherings. ·- In our judgement parties will be more enjoyable for they will be better managed.

Market St. Wilkes-Barre llnts I was sitting in The Hut over a week ago, enjoying my lunch of a meatball with cheese hoagie and a coke, when I overheard a young gentleman at the counter. It seems this young man was a Wilkes student and he was in theprocessof reading [Criticizing?] anissue of the Beacon. He was talking to a girl who was with him and explaining how the Beacon worked. ·. "Do you believe this crap? They give scholarships to put this thing out, and its full of . ads. There's no journalism here, just a· bunch of ads," he stated. At this point, I had just dropped my hoagie on the floor, and I was anxiously awaiting his wisdom on the sports pages, which I had put together. . After some "on the loading dock" comments about the college paper, he moved on to pages six and seven, our sports p~ges. He said how "corny" it was that all the sports writers wrote about how positive this year will be for Wilkes, and that all the ~ams will do well. He also mentioned that we were "too positive ' and tha.t we should tell things like they are. Acco_rding to hi'm, we should just write about the games and thats it. · . Holy Cow!!!!! I was stunned. I grabbed my coke and took off to Parrish Hall, to Room 'l:l, to the Beacon office to collect my thoughts. I didn't want to stay there and answer the guy. I didn't know what the hell to say. But, now I do. Sir, I do not know who yoµ are, what you are, or what planet you'r~ from , and I really don't care. But buddy, the Beacon is no rag, and hopefully will never be one. The ads are there to help us get money, to keep this paper going. . Each yea_r since I've been with the Beacon, we had to make cutbacks. Right now, we do everything to get the paper together except print it. We even deliver it to the assigned places. And mind you, we are barely running above water no,w . As far as crap in the Beacon, I think you are mistaken. I think our first issue was very good, considering it was the first of the ye~r and we had many inexperienced people on the job for the first time, including myself. . Then you go out and attack my sports page. I am open to criticism to anybody, but no one will attack our paper. Sir, as far as our "overly positive" attitude. How do you expect a team to gu into a season. You want thelll down-trodened. "well, maybe we'll win a game or two this year, huh Harry?" . The sports staff of the Beacon looks for a fine year from Wilkes athletics. Okay, some teams are more well off than others, but the majority of the teams on the campus this year should do better, much better. The Wilkes football, soccer, basketball [men's and women's], baseball, wrestling, tennis, golf, volleyball, and other sports, coaches have all told us they look for a good year because of some top recruits they have aquired. There, is the reason for this positive feeling. Can I help it if some people on this campus have a positive attitude. Exccccuuuuussssseee Uuusssssss! ! ! ! ! ! ! If you don't like 'positive thinking or our outlook on Wilkes athletics, maybe I can get you a pass to see Scranton or King's teams play, so you could leave your cave on Fridays and Saturdays. · , .

It has been said before that, "This 1s the year of the Wilkes College soccer teat?•:•. But, this season, Wilkes has a strong poss1b1hty of making the "impossible dream" come true. In previous seasons, Wilkes soccer teams have lacked two very important factors, consistency and confidence, w~ich . h?th compliment each other and result m wmnmg soccer matches. . After completing a grueling 3-10 season log 'last year, the Blue and Gold are not donside~ed a threat to anyone. In fact, Wilkes hasn t had a winning season since 1971 when Coach Tommy Rokita guided the Colonels to a 8-4-2 record. The best overall year ever celebrated by a Wilkes team was 12 years ago when Jim Neddoff led the Wilkesmen to a 9-2 mark. The overall Wilkes soccer record is a disapointing 103-168-31 record for 29 years. The 1978 edition and • new coaches Kurt Hagman and Ernesto Lopez are optimistic about the upcoming campaign and are predicting a 9-4 season. The new_ mentors are emphasizing a passing game. which sets-up a lot of options to the offensive attack. Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Wilkes played a scrimmage with Keystone Jr. College and Wyoming Seminary and did very well, according to Coach Hagman. "We were having trouble in the first half because we were not passing enough, bu~ . one~ we realized the problelJl, we rectified it by bringing the ball up-field '.'-nd wo~kin&', into the middle from the outside wmgs, noted Hagman. · On Saturday, the Colonels relaxed a little, and took part in the _annual Alumni g~ttogether which started with a 2: 00 game f?rI~r to the festivities. Although the Colonels d1dn t put on a "blood and guts" performance, they still defeated the alumni, 6-1. the a l_umni meet was really valuable beca use it allowed the Blue a nd Gold forces to work together and get comfortable before the season opening tilt. Coach John Reese was at the helm of the old-timers and it should be noted, that Reese's record is much better on the mats than on the soccer field! Sophomore stand -out Dung Chi-Duong ( Zoom) led the Colonels scoring attack wi~h two tallies and was followed by Mario "The Italian Stallion" Apuzzo, Carlos Ribiero, Nicholas Pitsis and Warren Bush with one apiece. Cliff "Chip" Brautigan han~led the . goalie position with care and was assisted by Dave ( DYNOMITE ) Reynolds in the secondhalf. However, neither goalkeper had much action because of awesome defensive plays by senior co-captain Mark Ritter, sophomore Charlie Issacs, junior Kelly Noseworthy, and junior Nick Golowich. . The Colonels will have to overcome a slight disadvantage to defeat Upsala.

The Colonels are compe~mg m . t~e strong northern division, west section, so it 1s important to get on the right track early _and defeat Upsala, which is from the east sect10n. The coaches were able to get a good look at their squad and have a good id~a where the stong points will be. Apuzzo will be at the halfback slot this season and a~t~ough Mario won't have as many opportumties to score as last year, he will be the key contributor to the Blue a~d Gold's . ball , possession. The other co-captam Mark Ritter, will be the starting center-forward for the Wilkesmen after playing that position foi: the last three years. · Other key defensive players. are Cha~lie Issacs from Kingston, Pa.; Nick Golowich from Mount Pocono; Gary Dugan; and Kelly Noseworthy, a junior transfer from Keystone Junior College. Sophomore _goal-tender, Bra_utiga n, from Avon, N.J., will . be a returmng letterman in the lineup and will be backed up by f!a_','~_Reynolds of KingstQn. Three freshmen are expected to help Zoom in bolstering the Wilkes offensive attack. They include Carlos Ribiero, Mike Karns, and Gary Dugan. Another bright spot for the Colonels is Nicholas Pitsis of Patras, Greece. By the way, the girls from the third floor of Sullivan Hall said, "Happy Birthday" Nikos!! Steve Bailey, Mark Lepore and Mike Brautigan will be capable reserves for. the Blue and Gold. A player who will also aid the lineup is Irv Pyevne, a transfer student from Brown ·State. Irv probably won't see action weekend because his eligibility was just recently confirm ed. After the Upsala encounter, the Blue and Gold forces are idle until Saturday, Sept. 23, when they host Bloomsburg State College. Bob Gaetano Three Fre slame n Spark Enthusiasm The Wilkes College field hockey team is looking for YOUth to help them in this upcoming ·season, and this movement is spear-headed by three freshmen girls. Two of the three girls, have had previous field hockey experience, which should add greatly to the women this year. Mary Lynne Dreibellis, a Hahnemann major from Snow Shoe, Pa., played both softball and basketball at Bald Eagle High School in Wingate. She was the captain of her basketball team for one year, which shows she can handle any problems concerning leadership. Mary Lynne has to be considered as one of the most dedicated athletes on the Wilkes campus. She has to work out time for field hockey and practice between her tough -schedule for classes because of the Hahnemann program. Mary Lynne is involved in both the Human Services and Biology Club and likes to be socially involved on campus. She feels this year's hockey team has a lot of spirit, and she hopes she can do a good job for Wilkes. She also hopes that her team-mates will help her out with any problems she might have. Mary, Lynne said the one thing that impresses her most is the friendly attitude that all the girls have on the field hockey team. Many experts feel this will be a rough year for the Wilkes field hockey program, will the girls be so friendly at the end of the year? Helen Gorgas, a frosh Psychology major from Swarthmore, Pa., has the most exp erience of the three girls. She played field hockey for three years at Swarthmore High and earned a total of seven letters in her high school athletic career. Besides field hockey, Helen is involved with DECKOUR'S BEER .Acrnsfrllllis-,lttNa Ph. 822-7045 - Imported Beers -Cold Beer• Quarter & Halves - Full line of Beer - four other clubs on the campus. Helen says that she likes filed hockey so much because it is a team sport, and to be good in it, it must be played as a team to the full extent. She also commented that it is good exercise for her and keeps her mind off the problems of school. Helen revealed that it took a little time for her to get use to the a tmosphere at Wilkes, but through hockey and other activities, she got to know more people and the pressure of being a freshmen was eased. She , along with the other. girls, are looking for a fine year in 1978 for Wilkes field hockey. .1 Maiy Pannone, an accounting major from Summit, N.J., has one year experience of field hockey which she received in high school. Mary, like the other girls, was very impressed with the enthusiasm of the hockey girls, . but was disappointed in the turnout of girls out for the team. Mary said that field hockey took up a lot of her time, "but, that it was worth it, and I enjoy it." She likes meeting people, and feels she has had a lot of fun so far at Wilkes. She considers the fact that she is an accounting major, and this will help her in the field hockey life, as she does not have to miss practices for labs and such. Mary also hopes · for a fine year from the Wilkes field hockey team. The three freshmen will hopefully form a balanced nucleus for the future of wom e n's field hockey at Wilkes. They all stated they hope they ca n create some interest for field hockey on the campus at Wilkes. We wish the girls good luck, because field hockey, as a sport, is on the rise. The field hockey · team of Coach Gay Meyers will meet the Alumni in a exhibition tomorrow at Ralston Field at 11: 00.

In a meeting with the Committee of Freshmen Life and Housing, a sub-committee of the Freshmen Studies Program, Shaw reported the progress achieved on providing a new SUB to the students. Having committed itself to provide a new SUB facility, the College chose the Carriage House over the other possibilities because of its location, size and cost factor. Described as a "real basic structure" with no plum bing or electricity, the Carriage House renders itself as being excellent for renovation. · The Rex Craft corporation drew up the architectual plans which emphasize keeping the character and personality of the building. On the inside, the first floor will hold a large lobby-lounge whic h will have off to the side a large meeting room for student organizations. On the other side will be a TV room, a card room and an area for vending and game machines. In the middle of the lounge area will be a staircase replacing a hand-pulled elevator which once brought the carriages from floor to floor. Next to this staircase will be an area for plants which will be directly under the already present skylight. The second floor will have two large lounges with two smaller meeting rooms off to the side. A kitchen will be insta lled upstairs but this will only be used by the College staff for specific purposes .. Men's and women's facilities will be installed on both floors. There is also a loft area and a spiral staircase in the building but because of Pennsylvania Labor and Industry laws they will only serve as decorative purposes. There is over 5,000 square feet of floor space in the Carriage House, which yields much more space than the present SUB. Cost of this renovation would range between $100,000-$150,000 which has been committed from the Capitol Gifts Campaign. After these original plans were made, Shaw stated that it was felt that the new SUB would r eceive limited use if it did not ha ve ea ting facilities. Plans were then drawn up to add a · one story, 3.5' x 90' addition to the back of the Carriage House facing Sturdevant Hall. The equipment from the Commons would be brought down to the new SUB leaving both the present SUB and the Commons to be razed. The r eason for this would be to open up the campus and clear the view to the front of the Library now hidden behind both structures. This addition now brings the cost of renovation close to the $400,000 range. Shaw said that it was suggested that since the College is willing to spend that much on the Carriage House that maybe the Conyngham Home should be once again considered. The Home which the College owns and has kept vacant for the past few years, has been considered for all types of purposes including a SUB, but because of prohibitive renovation and operating costs, no plans have been cited for it. Pyros and Sanderson Architects and Planners are now drawing up plans for the Conyngham Hom e as a SUB-Commons facility. Shaw said these plans will be considered and compared with the Carriage House plans but as it stands now the new SUB is headed for the Carriage House. Shaw added that the Conyngham Home must show that it can operate at a reasonable cost. When the final decision is made the college will move immediately either way. Shaw said "within the next month we should be ready to consider bids from contractors." He did mention that the College was really hoping to have it open this September but is promising for next fall, at the latest. "Pla ns are moving as rapidly as they can giving consideration to all things involved." said Shaw. At present, the basement of the SUB is the only acknowledged area where students over 21 can drink alcohol on this campus. Shaw said they are looking into the idea of putting an unfinished basement, rat skellar-type of room to the Carriage House but because of the cost factors this is still being discussed. · As far as drinking in the Carriage House itself, it has not yet been decided but Shaw stated that "if the drinking age was lowered we would want to be in the position to accommodate for the students." Jim Edwards Provost Soter up for a Presidency The Beacon lea rned Tuesday that Provost Richard Soter is one of three final candidates for the presidency of Richard Stockton State College, Pomona, N.J. The information was obtained from an editor of the Stockton Argo, that college's newspaper, who revealed that Soter will be interviewed for the position Sept. 25. Dr. Soter confirmed that he has applied for the position, stating that it is a "really unusual opportunity,:' since Stockton is a new and rapidly-growing institution. He explained that New Jersey has just begun to expand the public sector of higher education and has added two new colleges in the past several years, including Stockton, enrollment 3700. ''. The newness of Stockton State would appeal to anyone," he said "Traditions must be built, offering the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an emerging institution." Soter added that in this kind of situation "there is room for new programming and new ideas to take hold, helping to shape the role students and faculty should play in an emerging institution." The provost did add that he has not been officially informed •of his status in relation to the opening at Stockton, and empbasized that his interest in the position is based on the new and unusual op rtunities it offers. SGFilmPass Bad••• alected Board Cllalr••• On Sale for $2 Benjamin Badman, president and chief executive officer of the Wyoming Valley Hospital, assumed the chairmanship of the College Board of Trustees this summer. Badman graduated in 1941, when Wilkes was known as Bucknell Junior College. He succeeds Atty. Joseph J. Savitz, who completed three consecutive terms as chairman. Other board officers, elected at a recent meeting, include Mrs. Walter M. Diener, vice chairman; Hon. Edwin M. Kosik, vice chairman; Mrs. Edward Darling, secretary; and Mrs. William Davidowitz, treasurer. The new board chairman is a native of Plymouth, who attained his B.A degree from Wesleyan Universi ty after completing his studies at Bucknell Junior College. A veteran of World War II, This year students will be able to purchase season tickets for the Student Government Film Series. By purchasing a season ticket for $2, students can save almost 50 per cent of the regular admission price. . There are 14 boxes on the ticket, with one b'ox being punched for each admission. This will enable a student to either attend all 14 films himself, or bring a friend or two to a smaller number of films. A list of the films and dates they will be shown is printed on the back of ea.ch ticket [and is also on p. 4 of this week's Beacon). The tickets may be purchased at the SG office, second floor, Weckesser Hall from 10 a .m. to 4 p.m. , or at any SG film. The first case of a violation of the alcohol and party policy resulted in strict disciplinary action for the student involved. A sophomore resident at the Hotel Sterling, the student "·as found with a quarter · keg of beer in his room Thursday evening, August 31. The R.A ( r esident assistant) became suspicious when he noticed students wandering around the halls with mugs. Upon discovering the situation, he asked the student to remove the tap and requested that the people leave. The R.A then informed Housing Director Joe Marchetti, and they agreed that the three of them should talk with Dean Ralston early the following morning. The deans were notified and the Dean's Council acted to deny the violating student the privilege to live in a residence hall. It is reported that the student was a ware of the new policy but was unaware of the stringent consequences. . Concerning the situation, Ralston stated, "I am not interested in making a big deal of it; in our judgment we must have rules to guide us, and therefore, this alcohol and party policy has been adopted and we are going to live up to our policy." Ralston added that this is part of an overall effort "to upgrade social life and living in the college residence halls." European Theater, Badman served as bombardier-navigator in the U.S. Army Air Corps, flying 35 missions over Germany.

Sue Johnson, CC treasurer, reported tha t the day after t he juke ·box wa s installed someone pulled the plug on the machine and left a sign stating "shorted out." Korpusik and the council were apparently disturbed over the tampering of the machine. Some complaints were expressed to the -c ouncil about the choice of music on the juke box but Johnson reported that after three days of operation the machine had received a good amount of use. The juke box was installed last Wednesday in response to the commuter' s needs by this year's council. Also, in response to certain faculty members and in defense of the juke box, ltorpusik said tha t if the faculty does not like the music, not tq worry because the music " is for tlie stud e nts a nd s tudent enjoyrpent. " In other council matters, the council finali zed plans for this Sunday' s clam bake. Tickets have been on sale all week · ih the Comm ons and cafeteria for $1.50.

Many games and activities are also planned for that afternoon. · Under ihe parking committee, it was reported that the monthly Park & Lock stickers will go on sale every third week of the preceeding month up to the first of the month for which the sticker is valid. CC also decided not to put up a cable on the Temple parking lot and pass out keys to the commuters with parking permits, The reasons being cited as causing traffic jams, commuters duplicating keys, and allowing for the use of the Temple. Korpusik did announce to - 1 which the council agreed that, if necessary, members of CC will police the commuter parking lots and ticket violators. Under new business, the council made plans for the first CC sponsored bus trips to New York City of the semester. The · date arranged was October 29 and further details will be announced later.

Debate Union Members· Prepare for 31st Year This year marks the 31st year that intercollegiate debate and forensics has been an activity at Wilkes. A simple rhetorical question on "Do We Have a Free Press" has grown into a tradition that has seen Wilkes rise to national prominence not once, bu twice. Wilkes debators, from 1948 to 1958, were known as' " Little Wilkes the Giant Killers" in intercollegiate debate circles, due to their reputation for defeating large schools. This team won seventy per cent of its mat.ches. The second phase of Wilkes debating prominence began in 1973 and culminated last year with the winning of 75 awards, including 18 national honors, an all-time school record. The Union has two major divisions, the first dealing with intercollegiate debate and the second with public speaking. Two years ago the Union was admitted into the prestigious Pi Kappa Delta National Honorary Forensic Society and last year smashed records for both awards won and miles traveled. This picture shows just some of the trophies won by "Kinney' s Kids" last year. The Union operates in association with the Speech Division and Student Government. Membership is open to any interested undergraduate and qualifies the student for individual acceptance into Phi Kappa Delta, Pa. Forensic Association. Interested students should contact Coach-Director Dr. Bradford L. Kinney in the Debate Union office, Kirby Hall, room ~. telephone extension 393 for more details.

Around the Ca•pus •F•••••••••c Question: How do you feel about the new alcoholic policy changes. Dan Cardell, Sr:: "It'll probably bring about a change in the style of parties, but, as always, pC'ople will adapt and the part~·ing will c~mtinue." Sue Freda; Jr.: "As a resident assistant, a lot of pressure is put upon us to enforce this new alcohol policy. The parties in the dorms are definitely a lot more limited so I feel most 'get-togethers' will be off-campus, taking a lot of responsibility off RAs. These first two months will be the p-ial period and probably will be strictly enforced by all college staff." Ste 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 fe.w 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. ' Karen Lucchesi, Sr.: "I fee1 that campus policies should ~oincide with state and legal policies ( w:hich states that the drinking age is 21) . To prohibit alcohol on campus would only ca use friction between policy makers arid · students. Michael McWelis, Jr.: "I feel the new policies are too strict. They will greatly reduce the ability of students to meet and associate with other students. In the past the dorm and SUB parties were one of the few places where dormitory students and commuter students could associate outside the classroom. If the administration felt the policy was too lenient they could have revised it a little more sensibly instead of being totally ridiculous." ~ - Pat O'Callaghan, Soph.: . " I feel the drug scene will get worse because it' s easier to hide drugs than it i s a keg. And if there's no a,lcohol they will be turnii:ig ~ other means of relaxahon. James Scott, Sr.: "I feel that there should be parties only up to a certain point. If it gets out of hand then there is a reason not to ha ve parties.

Dear Dean Ralston: . Upon graduating from Wilkes College on May 22, 1978 I felt a deep feeling of remorse because of the parting with friends, places, and times I would never h&ve again. I for one feel that the times an individual spends in college are years that should never be forgotten. In your position at Wilkes you have the opportunity to shape and mold the lives and futures of thousands of young adults. But how can students be expected te. become effective and effecient adults if they are socially stuffed and are given no responsibility at all for their actions. You and this institution are preparing us for the future, but how are we to make decisions that effect the worlds of business, medicine, and education if we can't decide for ourselves or have confidence enough in ourselves to handle our actions at parties and social functions. , As an alumnus I think you have a commitment to me and to all Wilkes ·Alumni to maintain traditions that we established to glorify this school. We all hope to leave a little of ourselves behind and your not doing justice to us if you allow . the sounds of a not-so distant past become silenced in the hall of Wilkes College never to be heard again. In the same vien, you not only owe the alumni the inspirational uplift of revisiting their college, but you also owe us the value of our diploma. If the present policy concerning social functions continues, in all possibility there may be no one returning here next year. And what kind of bargaining power do we have with a diploma from a defunct institution. Lets be realistic Dean Ralston, "the . times they are a changing", and if . I learned anything while I was here it was to be prepared to meet the future, and to gear my ideas to STAFF Editor-in-Chief ... Wilma Hurst Managing Editor ... Jim Edwards News-Copy Editor ...

And everyone's_ sake change what you practice not what you preach because I'm sure none of us come to college to change the past. A Very Concerned Alumnus, John Lack Clas![! of 1978 Dr. Reif Questions Drinlcing 'Tradition' To the Editor: The cartoon in The Beacon of August 31, in which the Wilkes Drinking Song is included, and which the question "A tradition of the past?" is put, is rather misleading. The Drinking Song was written by Theodore Warakomski, a major in biology, for the musical comedy presented by the Wilkes College Lettermen~ entitled "All in Fun." All of the music for "All in Fun" was by Warakomski; the book was by Gottlieb, Groh and Reif. The Drinking Song was not composed to establish a tradition at Wilkes College. In those days drinking on campus at Wilkes College included birch beer or coke, and maybe some Seven-Up. Granted that the male students of those day~. in greater numbers than now, were mostly veterans and. therefore older and more mature, the student body in general ran tremendous extracurricular activities, in which both faculty and students participated, sans alc~holic beverages. Drinking, as a phenomenon on the campus of Wilkes College, has developed only within the last decade, at least twenty years after the Wilkes Drinking Song was written, which is hardly time enough for anything to become a tradition. Respectfully, Charles Reif A M ode1t Proposal for preventing the spread of Indolence and Sloth among the Students of Willce1 College, and for having them contril,ute to worlc1 of pul,lic amusement and enlightenment While many colleges across the country have suffered a decline in morals, it appeared to us last spring that the amount of decadence among the dorm students had increased to perhaps to a nation-wide high. Students were reputed to have regurgitated heedlessly over the balustrades of Slocum Hall, and an incident involving the discharge of a crossbow at numerous fixtures has also been reported. This has resulted in a revision of the alcohol policy over this summer. Dean Ralston, in 'a remark to Jim Edwards of The Beacon, said that, "the changes are not very great, merely revisions and an improvement in social life." We believe that the students as well as the faculty play an important part in determining moral standards, and it is with this in mind that we present the following list of "healthy" activities: Bingo Night Pirogi sale Walt Disney film festival Faculty car wash Egg sale--buying and selling egges Bridge lesson~ Chain letter night Sunday golf workship Noted speakers: Haley Mills, The Hon. Daniel Flood, Rev. Bi'ly Graham, George Wallace, Leni Reifenstahl Reform-a-homosexual night . Coatcheck at alumni functions Americana Day All-ca mpus game of manhunt Volunteer page service service at the library Dolly Parton Day Sexual identity night with Anita ... and finally A Toga party ( without beer) in the SUB . We hope that none of you have found these sugg~stions too radical, or even slightly left-of-center, but in the establishment of new policies, we must all lea rn to compromise. As Dean Ralston so aptly stated, ( the policy) will "raise social standards in decency and ordinance." With these standards in mind we commit ourselves to: Student Organization for the Development of Orderly ano Moral Youth Letters to the Editor are welcomed from all interested people.

Po. 18701 Phone, 825-2024 for BOUTIQUE CLOTHES JEWELRY SWEATERS-SCARVES SHIRTS Dear Humanoids: I am writing as a result of the recent, nationwide publicity given to cloning. I wish to point out, to the ignorant among you, that clones are NOT a product of the space age, as some of you humans would prefer to believe. Indeed, we clones have been around for thousands of years. In order to avoid unnecessary flak from the "religious community", I won't comment on just WHO the world's first clone actually was. I do, however, wish to take this opportunity that I, Bill Hathcock, am a clone. I'm not the only one either, i,, fact, some of my best friends are clones, and we are fed up to our test tubes with the current talk about cloning. POINT IN QUESTION: I ( and my entire family of pie's) sit down after an impossible day's work ( on the assembly line, of course) in an attempt to squeeze out some simple entertainment from the diverse media available to us, and, in doing so, deliver myselves from the hum-drum molds of everyday life, and we are literally bombarded by such forms of outright abuse as: ( A) almost-daily news stories blatantly insinuating that test tube babies are far superior to clones; ( B) remarks that cloning is best left to the plants; ( C) talk about the clones' lifestyle being incestuous; (D) warnings that too-much cloning around will beget bad reputations ( E) and lastly, but not leastly, the utter rudeness of today's popular ( or is it notorious?) comedians who seem to be hopping on the " Ethnic Joke of the Eighties Bandwagon" by inventing clone jokes. They must all think they are real cute, but, if the truth be known, we CLONES invented the clone joke over 1500 years ago--only we always referred to them as "human jokes." SOLUTION: The time has come for all reasonable talk to end, and for action to begin. We have banded together to form a clang of radical clones ( which has been given the subtle name of "The CLONE INVASION FORCES") who are dedicated to erasing humanoids from the face of the earth. ONE MINOR PROBLEM: Someone on our staff (we can't tell who, we all look alike) accidently erased 18 and a half minutes of our computer tape containing the addresses of our clones, so we can' t contact all of you to send you all battle plans. So, we are requesting that all CLONES send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: CLONE INVASION FORCES ENLISTMENT CENTER P .O. Box 2469 SANTA CRUZ, CA 95063 Please don' t send any photos of yourself, as we already know what you look like. And, don't send any exploding letters, either; clones have X-ray vision, and. we don't take lightly to practical jokes~ · NOTE TO INTERESTED HUMANOIDS: If you are interested in assisting us in our takeover of th world ( for which you will receive " special considerations" in the end), you may write too. But don't try to lie--we clones are much .;oo smart for that. P.S. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. IF YOU HAVE NOT ENLISTED BY THE TIME THE INVASION STARTS, YOU WILL BE ON THE ANNIHILATION LIST. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.

No, not some hamburger joint, but the big Middle Atlantic Conference. The Colonels will square . off with seven MAC opponents this season, :n addition to non-conference Bloomsburg State and Western Maryland. . Coach Rollie Schmidt, is' pleased as punch to be openmg the season with a MAC opponent (Del Val). "We are really glad about opening up the year with a MAC foe. Its a big change from years past when we would play Indiana State, or another non-conference team," commented Schmidt. The Del Val game will have a certain type of turn-around about it as the Blue and Gold closed out its season a year ago with the Aggies, handling them 'easily 32-8, at Rafston Field, as everybody but Bill Gasbarro scored. Last year's season for Del Val w~uld make a _grea~ horr~r story, as it finished the year at 2-7 with. no MAC victorie_s. This years strength will be the defense, although young. ~admg the way there will be defensive end book-ends, Bruce Shickora and Jack Mazak. Junior Ron Haraka will be the top quarterback for Coach Al Wilson's club. PREDICTED SCORE: Wilkes 24, Delaware Valley 10. "" Next foe for Wilkes WIii be another MAC counterpart, Lycoming College of Williamsport. The Warriors were 4-2 in the MAC a year ago, including a 7-0 win over Wilkes, and 6-3 overall. The Lycoming defense will be the strong-point here, as Coa~h Frank Girardi returns tackles Jerry Butler and Tony DiSandora. Quarterback will be senior Frank Mrorgiello, who was injured most of last season. PREDICITION: First home win for Wilkes, . Colonels 14, Lycoming 13, in the rain. Wilkes will be back on the road for the third game of the year, traveling to East Orange, N.J., to tangle with Upsala College. Upsala will be one of the top teams this season in the MAC, after posting a 5-1 conference mark a year ago. lVIost of last year's team is back and Coach John Hooper looks -for a fine year from his squad. All-MAC back, Don Oshiro is back at the half-back slot, with QB leadership being handled by soph Dave Muccia. PREDICITION: Wilkes 10, Upsala 10. Colonels kick field goal in last seconds to tie and send overall record to 2-0-1. The Colonels will begin a three-game home stand on Oct. 7, when the host Bloomsburg State at Ralston Field. the Huskies, who defeated Wilkes 31-6 a year ago, are looking for their first winning season since 1970. Coach Ron Puhl has 32 lettermen returning from last year's 4-5 club, including the team's leading rusher, Mike Morucci, who averaged 110.6 yards per game. PREDICITION: Wilkes garners sweet r evenge, defeats Bloom in an upset landside, Wilkes 28, Bloom State 7. Schmidt getting the fever, Wilkes now 3-0-1. Western Maryland invades Ralston Field on Oct. 14, to help celebrate Homecoming. The Green Terrors were 2-5-1 last season under first year coac h Jim Hindman. Top man is QB, soph Jeff Selfridge. Wilkes starting to roll, coasts over the Terrors, 31-0, now 4-0-1. In what could be the Colonels biggest game of the season, the Wilkesmen will host Albright College, the champ of the MAC North a year ago. The Lions, although sporting a 7-2 mark from last season, were defeated by Wilkes 7-0 at Reading as Carmen Lopresto tallied the winning touchdown. Kevin Kelly, an all-MAC middle guard and Ray Granger, another all:MAC performer from 1977, at the linebacker spot, will be back to lead a veteran defensive team, which allowed only 52 points in the MAC last year. Offensive line and backfield are the two main weaknesses to the Albright attack this season. Sorry fans, Albright gains revenge, gives Wilkes first loss of season, 21-10. The Blue and Gold are now 4-1-1. Coach Rollie Schmidt takes his team to Madison, N.J. to meet the Jersey Devils of Coach Bill Klika on Oct. 28. The Devils, 4-5 last year, lose three lettermen each from the offense and defense and are in great shape for 1978. Senior Blake farrell and junior Chuck Ellis are the studs on the offensive line, while senior Wayne Braxton is back at the running back slot. Junior Bob Sullivan will be the quarterback. PREDICITION: Wilkes back on track, raise r.ecord to 5-1-1 with 6-0 win over the Devils in a combination monsoon-snowstorm. The last hom e game of the 1978 season will pit Wilkes against friendly rival Juniata College on Nov. 4. Juniata eneters its 56th year of collegiate football, and Coach Dean Rossi will look to improve on last season's 5-5 mark. The Indians will pack a power-house backfield with DeWayne Rideout and Gary Lyter taking charge. Lyter, who led the team in rushing last fall, has two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. PREDICITION: Wilkes avenges last season's heart-breaking 5-2 defeat with a sound 35-19 win. Wilkes now 6-1-1. Final game of the year will see the Colonels traveling to meet Susquehanna University at Selinsgrove, Pa. on Nov. 11. Susquehanna is in search of its first winning year since 1970, and Coach Bill Moll is the new coach, succeeding Jim Hazlett, one of the classiest men in the MAC. Defense is the biggest problem for the Crusaders, and loss of offensive backs and receivers will hurt. Should be a rough year for the Susquehanna team, and Wilkes will pick up win No. 7 here, 19-7, to end regular season at 7-1-1. Whether Wilkes goes 7-1-1 or not is unprediftable. But, thats out prediction, and maybe there will be some games for Wilkes after the regular season. Maybe even a trip south to Alabama, to play in the Division III National Championship Game. Tomorrow, the Colonels will travel to meet an unknown team in a scrimmage, before getting ready for the season opener on Sept. 16 at Delaware Valley. Colonels, may the force be with you. Eddie White Booters Look/or Good Year Enthusiasm will be the key to a successful season for the 1978 Wilkes College soccer team, which enters its 30th campaign. Throughout the years, Wilkes College's soccer teams have had some fine coaches and personnel, bot lacked confidence and consistency. The new Wilkes coaches; Kurt Hagman, and 'Ernesto Lopez, have restored those two fine qualities and the incentive to win is greater than ever before. Since only six lettermen return from last ye~r•~ squad, which finished with a disappomtmg 3-10 mark, critics feel it will be a rebuilding year for the Colonels. However, the new coaches and enthusiastic hooters, are predicting better things for themselves. · . In the United States, a type of 'negative soccer' is played, whereby a team attempts t.o make the opposition score fewer goals. My intent is t.o construct an offensive-oriented team t.o get all the players involved, and get a lot of scoring int.o our system. I know the fans would rather see a high scoring soccer game than a 1-0 match," commented Hagman. The proper balance of lettermen, experienced players and some top notch freshmen should aid Wilkes pursuit to be a contender no _just a competitor. Senior co-captain~ Mario Apuzzo and Mark Ritter will lead the 1?78 soccer team and both are very optimistic . The two veterans claim that after just one week of practice, the progress has been "fantastic." Fellow co-captain, Ritter, was a major asset at his center-Jorward position last season and should be a key player this year. Ritter, a 6-0, 145-pounder from East Brunswick, N.J., has enough speed to break the . mid-field and possesses a strong foot near the nets. Another senior expected . to .see a lot o( action is Nick Golowich of Mt. Pocono, Pa. Sophomore Dung Chi Duong, known as " Zoom", wiU-be a strong spot in the Blue and Gold's offensive attack. Zoom, a 5-6, 125pounder registered two goals a yf;)ar ago and is figured to be one of the top offensive players on the team. His size is . dec eiving, as he showed many a Colonel defender, in his first collegiate season. Junior Warren Bush, a 6-0, 160 pounder from Warsaw, N.J., also joins the returning Wilkesmen list, and is expected to see a lot of playing .time. Rounding out the lettermen is soph Cliff Brautigan of Aron, N.J. Brautigan, a stocky 5-9, 165 pound goalie came to Wilkes last fall with excellent credentials. He was chosen as an All-American while at St. · Rose High School and recorded 163 saves as a yearling for Wilkes. He received second team MAC honors a year ago. Cliffs brother Mike, hopes to follow in his footsteps, as he enters his first year in a Blue and Gold uniform. Adding depth at the goalie spot is soph Dave Reynolds of Kingston, who filled in when Brautigan was injured last year. Other seasoned preformers inch1de Charlie Issacs. con't on page 7. Corbett, Bellas Leaders Rebuilding Year for women When coaches talk about a "rebuilding year," they usually don't convince too many peoµle. It's become almost a matter of coaching etiquette to be humble at the beginning of the season. However, this reall y IS a rebuilding. year for the women's tennis team, a group that lost 75 per cent of its varsity players from last year. Three varsity players . and one letterwinner came back to the courts this year, but fortunately, Coach Sandra Bloomberg was also greeted by a whole crop of young but enthusiastic new players. "This will definitely be a building, growing, improving year," she stated. " I know for sure we're going to be in good condition and we're really going to be in there fighting from the beginning." The "beginning" is next Thursday, when powerful Lock Haven comes to Ralston Field. Wilkes Assistant Lew Partridge, former Wilkes standout commented that the Blue and Gold "won't be playing for offensive shots, but will hit one more back to the other side than is hit to them." He admitted that the going will be "a little tough" this season, but claimed that he has never seen a team with so much spirit. "They're out here, really working hard," he said, "and there's a lot of cooperation and dedication." Co-captains Reenie Corbett and Judy Bellas will be leading the Colonelettes into competition this year. Bellas' doubles partner, Rose McMahon, is the ' third returning vusity player, and Debbie We I liver is the other letterwoman. The women are the defending NPWIAA champions, and have won that title for the past three years. They compete in the MAC in addition to the local league, and ' need five to six singles players and two or three doubles teams. Unfortunately, players cannot double up in competition. The team faces a 12-match schedule this season, averaging almost two. per week until the end of October. Home matches are played on the courts at Ralston Field. Wilma Hurst Judy Bellas Reenie C.Orbett Colontltttts Nttd Mort Stith Htlp Wilkes College women's field hockey coach Gay Meyers said that she is looking for enthusiasm and motivation to try to bring to Wilkes College, an Middle Atlantic Conference crown. Plagued right now by a lack a bodies, Coach Meyers is hoping for an all-out effort by her girls to produce another winning season for the Wilkes club. Coach Meyers commented on the lack of depth as her major blocking point. "We had 20 girls at the end of last year, and we only have 18 now. I'm having a really hard time trying ~ find a full complete team. Although small, . in numbers, the Colonelettes show three freshman on the roster. This youth factor may be a big help to the team, considering all will gain experience this season and be classified as veterans, the next three years. The spirit is high at the Ralston Field hockey field, and hopefully, the girls will carry it over into the season. Coach Meyers, who hopes her team will be in the race in the MAC's Northern Division, says she might have to switch her favorite 4-2 set-up. This is brought about, again by the small turn-out. On Sept. 9, the ladies will travel to Franklin & Marshall to scrimmage against one of the stronger teams in the MAC. A few teams from the MAC's Southern Division will be on hand at F&M, and Wilkes will hopefully . meet them. The Coloneletees will continue their pre-season play, when they host the alumni on Sept. 16 in an exhibition match, before opening the year with the University of Scranton on Sept. 21. As I interviewed Coach Meyers on the development of the team, she commented that practice had been going well, but with the usual little problems. The dismal turn-out of field hockey players is · very strange to this writer, because of the large growth in women's sports. throughout the c.o untry. In recent years, women's sports has boomed in the United States, but this seems to be the opposite at Wilkes. It is an injustice to the dedicated girls at Wilkes who are work.ing hard in their sports, to not be able to succeed because of lack of interest. Coach Meyers would like it repeated, that anyone interested in joining the team, or learning about field hockey, to please contact her at the athletic office. Simon Kasinetz �. f September 8, 1978, The Beacon, Page 7 Sportfolio ... ~Mario Apuzzo Some go to college just to play sports. Some go to meet other people. Some go to party. And some go to learn. Wilkes is a small liberal arts school which encourages a broad scope of studies and extracurricular activities. One of 'Wilkes top student-athletes, Mario Apuzzo exemplifies its purpose to a point of perfection. "Getting yourself involved is what college is all about," stated the senior political science major. That quote may be a little redundant, but hearing it from Apuzzo, who has such a strong sense of intellectuality, makes it sound completely different. Mario has been a member of the political science club since his freshman year and is currently serving as president. He is senior class treasurer, the inter-dormitory council representative for Miner Hall and a member of the International Club. - . Mario has changed quite a bit since the earlier photograph but his love for soccer has -increased, as he prepares for his final season in a Wilkes 1:0iform. Photo by Gaetano. f ,,. Mario Apuzzo, shown at age three while living in Italy, had an early beginning in his fa vorite sport, Soccer. Apuzzo is the captain of this year's Wilkes College Soccer team. Mario's main interest · right now is the 1978 Wilkes College soccer· team, which he has captained the past two seasons. Mario puts 100 percent into everything he does, but amplifies an extra 10 percent for his favorite sport. .Aithough WilkesBarre is not Soccertown, USA, Mario plans to take a shot at professional soccer. It is certainly a good time since the National Soccer League it trying to recruit more American players instead of going to foreign countries, which has been a tradition in pro .soccer. It will take a lot of dedication by Mario to follow through with his ambition, but as many say, " nothing is impossible!" Last year Mario was recognized by the 1978 Official Handbook of Soccer, a national publication. He has played for the Blue and Gold varsity since his freshman season and has led the team in scoring the last two years. Mario explained that in his freshman year, Wilkes was "rebuilding" and finished with a 1-10 slate. The following year the Blue and Gold raised its record to 6-6, but fell to a 3-10 log last season. Mario thinks winning soccer should strike the campus this season with new coaches Kurt Hagman and Ernesto Lopez running the show. Apuzzo was on winning socser teams all his life and said, "It was difficult at first when we were 1-10 because I was not used to to losing." "I was conditioned to win and have learned a lot since playing for Wilkes, and I'll never quit playing soccer." While at Jamesburg N.J. High School, he played on two undefeated junior high teams and three high school state championship clubs. Mario boasts about his high school coach Richard Matio, who led Jamesburg to three state · champ trophies and one runner:up in four years. "Many of my techniques and philosophies are patterned after Matio, who taught his players to always do their best," stated Apuzzo. Mario's life is a story in itself. Born in Naples, Italy, his parents moved to Switzerland to find work when he was four. Mario stayed with his Aunt and did not rejoin his parents until a year later. Mario recalls playing around with a soccer ball during the pre-school years, but was not a ware of the actual fundamentals nor the rules of the game. After the brief stint in Switzerland, the Apuzzos moved to Jamesburg, New Jersey, where Mario took a deep interest in all sports, especially his native soccer. Mario played on the first organized teams in 5th and 6th grades and began to taste the fruits of victory at an early age. After two suc_cessful junior high seasons, he played for the varsity and served as captain his last two years there. Besides winning four letters for soccer, he also earned four in baseball and made the "AllTrentonian" team . M,,rio and his parents often go back to Italy to visit with relatives nd his brother Rena to, who is 23 years old. Rena to is confined to a wheelchair, but is applying himself at intellectual areas such as philosophy ·a nd theology. Mario is very , proud of his brother and they often discuss and compare the social problems of the United States and Italy. After celebrating three fine years at Wilkes College, Mario will graduate with many fine accomplishments under his belt. He carries a 3.49 average and is a top contender for the · Wilkes student-athlete awa·rd this spring. Regardless of which road Mario .-hooses after leaving college, you can guarantee he'll be kicking. Bob Gaetano aun aeadles Colonels Ed Eppler "I was impressed with our overall showing in the Robbins run, but we need to show more improvement if we want to continue. the success we had last season. But I know, by the time we meet King's we WILL be ready," commented cross country coach Kevin Davenport after the running of the fourth annual Cliff Robbjns Memorial Run. A record 250 runners participated in the run, sponsored by the Wyoming Valley Striders. "It was a great success," commented race director George Pawlush. "We were very pleased with the turnout, and it goes to show that running is catching on in the valley," said Pawlush. The strongest showing for the Blue and Gold came in the form of freshman Ken Pascoe of Nanticoke Area, who finished third with a time of 30: 36, just 32 seconds off the pace of winner Lanny Conner of the Berwick Ramblers team. Sophomore Ed Eppler and junior Don Patrick also turned in fine performances with a tenth and 13th place respectively. Sophomore Dan Thomas, who finished first last year over the 5.5 mile course, placed 15th with a time of 32: 46. "Danny was not in his best shape going into the run, and we were really glad about his 15th · place finish. But, you can't overlook the job done by Kenny. He ran a super race," said Davenport. The mentor will have eight days to get his team in shape for the season opener with King's College on Sept. 16 at 1: 30 at Kirby Park. Coach Davenport repeats that anyone interested in taking stats for the team is asked to contact him or leave a message at the Wilkes athletic office.

In simple terms, the College is trying to prevent itself from being responsible for people under the age of 21 who drink alcohol. These revisions include no kegs or large quantities of alcohol allowed ip residence halls; no alcohol at all allowed in the dorm lounges; all parties must be held in the SUB, where students will be stamped either as drinkers or minors. Also included is the rule that any catered off-campus parties or dances must . have a clause written in the contract stating that no under 21 will ~ served alcohol. Also all school parties ·must · be supervised by a member of the faculty or administration. Students are now being advised to carry their college ID' s to parties in order to be admitted into parties and to prove their age. According to Dean Ralston, no one initiated the revisions but rather the College reviewed the policies in order "to stregthen our social program and to meet the laws of the state." He feels the old policy was sound but needed to be revised. When asked about how these chan 0es will affect campus life, Ralston quickly com." mented that "the changes are not _very great, · merely revisions and an improvement in social life." It was pointed out that there were many · dorm parties last year but Ralston said the revisions were made to "raise social standards in decency and ordinance." To hold parties in the SUB, Ralston said that the Commons will now be available for use simultaneously. When asked if beer can be allowed in the Commons, Ralston. said that it hasn't been worked out yet. As · far as enforcing the policy Ralston said strong disciplinary action will be taken against violators but he does not anticipate . any trouble. Student Go vernment president, Steve Kirshner, feels the policy is a good one but adds that its effectiveness will probably rely on the resident assistants implementation of the policy. Joe Marchetti couldn't predict how effective the policy will be but said that resident assistants are going to be expected to enforce · it. As he noted "they can make it or break it." Jim Edwards I' ·t'he following passage is from the stµdent handbook Wilkes College does not encourage the· use of alcoholic beverages by students. Many students, however, do drink beer and other alcoholic beverages. The College respects the rights of individuals who are 21 years of age ~ho decide to use alcoholic beverages, but rs greatly concerned about the misuse and abuse of alcohol. The student who c~ooses to drink is urged to drink responsrb~y. Stud~nts mus~ be held responsible for their beha vror even rf they are intoxicated. Members of the College community are especially reminded that the State Laws of Pennsylvania pertaining to alcoholic beverages are applicable to the campus and as such, the responsibility for observance of the laws of Pennsylvania remain with each individual. The College expects every student to be aware of these · laws and of his · or her responsibility for compliance with them. r. ~ L • RY __. ., _ _ _ _ ___.,_, _ _. Old-:Faces,·NewPJc!ifes~ -~_·_ ·- ___ .: _ _ _ __ AdmiiiiStfCltiue-chClllges Made . With the start of a new academ ic year various changes in administrative positions have taken place on campus. Dr. Gerald Wouri, formerly an assistant professor ··o f philosophy, will now serve as dean of admissions and freshmen studies. According to Dr. Wouri, the diversified responsibilities of this position can be encompassed under four general areas, specificlfour general areas, specifically: • finding students who will succedd at Wilkes; evaluating applications; counseling the accepted · students in their proper course of study; and doing follow-up work on those students who may have a chance for successful . college career, but are not as academica lly prepared as most college oriented students. THE DEAN noted that a major change in the Admissions Office is the addition of a fourth person, namely, Debra Bergen. Ms. Bergen will hold the title of assistant dean of admissions. He also stated that the appointment of Ms. · Bergen will allow the admissions office to operate on a broader, more intense level. Dr. Wouri commented on the development of an admissions intern program which is currently in the planning stages. The program would involve stidents working in the Admissions Office and would give those students practical experience in case working, counseling, and interviewing prospective students. Although ·he feels that he may miss teaching, Dr. Wouri is obviously en]oying every aspect of his new job: He r - stated that "it's the most excicting kind of work I have· ever done; there is always so much going on-so many aspects of pla nning to get involved in." FORMER baseball coach Gene Domzalski will now serve as associate dean of admissions and will be working closely with Dr. Wouri. With his primary responsibility being to attract qualified students to Wilkes College, the dean noted the difficulty of this task, and attributed the difficulty to the growing competition among colleges due to declining enrollment. Although he thoroughly en. joyed his nine year coaching career at Wilkes, Domzalski stated, "I am glad for the opportunity to c hange my direction som ewhat-to get involved in contributing to the welfare of the College in a different way. " ART HOOVER, now associate dean of student affairs, wil! replace Dean Baltruchitus. Director of Alumni and Community Affairs · for the past eight years, Hoover previously served as assistant dean of student · affairs from 1962-70. Working closely with Dea·ns Ralston and Lampe, Hoover will be involved in counseling and academic advisement, student activities, student personnel, and the Student Union . Board. Well-known and well-liked among the students, Hoover is •.. . "really pleased to· be back in this kind of work." He added, "I have worked in various administrative-faculty positions at Wilkes since 1955 and this is the work I like best, simply because I . . . believe the students are central to the College." JOHN WIDTBY, previously the dean of admissions, is now the dean of special programs. His main objectives include working with students - and. cont. on p. 3 HANDICAPPED PARKING AVAILABLE Parking for handicapped persons is now available in all campus parking lots. As of nex! week_ these parking lots will be patrolled and illegal cars will be ticketed. The owner will be subject to a fine. SG Plannlnt ToENluatt Student Government, in its first meeting of the semester cited plans to make evaluations on the new .5 grading system, the teacher evaluation forms, the placement office, freshmen orientation, and the rising costs of books and the book return policy with the bookstore. The academic committee, headed by Julie · Kent,- is eval. ua ting the new grading system which introduces the new grades of 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 into the old . 5 point syste.m and teacher evaluations to determine their effectiveness. Both were passed last year through the efforts of SG. Steve Kirshner, SG president, stated that an evaluation is being made of this year freshmen orientation, which will be given to Dean Hobrock in Admissions. Dean Hobrock will be attending nationwide seminar s throughout the year on freshm en orientation. To evaluate the rising costs of book 'prices and the return policy with the bookstore, Kirshner formed a committee with members from SG, the Inter-Dormitory Council and Commuter Council.,_ Under new business, Kirshner reported that the used bookstore is open on the second floor of the Commons and urged all studentsto' take advantage of it. In a report from the SUB, the board is looking for two people to serve on the board this year. Anyone interested should contact Bob Austin, the SUB director. Serving on the board entails help scheduling parties and forming new policies in using the SUB. The film committee reported a list of 14 films · to be shown this year which includes " The Sting" which will be shown Saturday, Sept. 9, 7 and 9: 30 in the CPA for 25 cents. Students will be able to purchase season passes for all films at a reduced rate. The pas will cost $2.00 and can be purchased in the SG office in Weckesser Hall. In other matters, Kirshner informed the body that Marywood College has invited Wilkes students to attend an orientation cook-out on Labor Day from 2-9 p.m. The cost is $2.50 per person and anyone interested should sign their name on the list posted outside the JDC office by Friday at noon.

A joint · selection . committee conducted a review of those students who completed the first two-year phase · of the program here at Wilkes. A maximum of 25 students could have been admitted. This group is the fifth class to be chosen since 1974. The first class r ecently culminated the six-year program by receiveing doctor of medicine degrees from Hahnemann and ba ccala urea te degrees from Wilkes during this past spring' s commencement exercises. Word of the final selection was received over the summer by Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, Wilkes dean of health sci- ences, and Dr. Anthony Turchetti, associate ""dean at Ha hnemann.

We'll drink to colors blue and gold, We'll drink to Colonels young and old, But better still we'll arink to the women of Theta Delta Rho. So-hold your glasses 'way up high To the sky! Drink, drink, .drink, dear fellows, Drink till the day you die! So here's to Wilkes, the jewel of. jewels, the jewel of jewels of a II the schools. So drink it ,down, your sorrows drown, · And cheer for dear old Wilkes! The rev1s10ns in the college's party-alcohol_ policy are the strictest regulations we have seen at Wilkes, and seem to have alreadv stir~d up _discontent in the student body. We certainly_ understand the difficulties college officials must face when dealing with the unusually high drinking age in this state, and we appreciate their concern with the college and its social climate. · It cannot be an easy task to administer a college in a state with such a ridiculous drinking law-where a dorm student somehow loses years of maturity just by crossing the state line. But we can sfe only student dissatisfaction and disappointment resulting from this action. It appears that this may be a case where the majority will pay for the mistakes and poor judgment of a minority of people who have abused the privileg-es of the former relatively relaxed policy. Granted, some students do not conduct themselves well when partying and are an embarrassment to the college and their fellow students. But this type of beha vim~ is certainly not common to most students. Most students, we believe, are mature and ·responsible enough to drink socially without creating problems. · It may be possible that the blame does not lie entirely with even that minority of Wilkes students. High school students have been known ~ crash parties and frequent the restrooms in Pickering Hall, where they indulge to .excess and are perhaps at least partly responsible for any problems which occur. Why should the responsible students at Wilkes suffer for the actions of people who should not even be on this campus? If the' proposed stricter use of IDs is intended to alleviate this problem, then we heartily support -their institution and enforceme!}t. . But we cannot agree with the apparen_t attempt to limit the social activities on campus. We agree that drinking for the sake of drinking is wrong, but we can see no harm in drinking in order to socialize at an event like .a block party, or to enjoy the company of one's friends in a relaxing atmosphere, such as the lounge of a dorm. Maybe there were enougn serious drinking problems on campus to warrent some action. We are not naive enough to believe there were none. But we cannot believe that the situation was really that serious. Admittedly, it is a good id~a to limit the use of kegs of beer, since parties of that size can become too much for an RA to handle in a dorm. But what happens when a dorm or club or other group is too large to gather in dormitory rooms, but too small to use the SUB or Commons? What alternatives are left in this situation? We believe that small private parties such as these can be held successfully in dorms under the supervision of the RA or other responsible students. In addition, RAs can and should play a greater role in regulating alcohol on campus--not by enforcing strict rules, but by being aware of real or potential alcohol problems, withing their dorms, and then assisting the student with that problem. Unfortunately, The Beacon has not yet been able to obtain a specific answer to our questions about the reasons for the recent policy revisions. The college has always prohibited underage drinking, but to our knowledge has never so restricted consumption of alcohol by all students, ·1egal or not. We realize that the administration must protect the college from legal complications where drinking is concerned, and we are not . asking them to condone the widespread use of alcohol. We also realize that even stricter measures could have been taken. A Tradition of the Past?.

Domzalski resigned after serving . for nine years as the Blue and Gold's head baseball mentor, to devote complete attention ·to his new job as associate dean · of admissions at Wilkes. . . For Domzalski, it . was the right move - more · stability, more money, and a better · chance · to furthur himself in many ways. For a Colonel baseball fari, it was a loss. A drastic loss, a loss harder to take than .any 3-2 defeat to Marietta College could· ever bring. Domzalski, a former New York Yankee minor· league standout, could of stayed on as coach and maintained his position in admissions. but thought otherwise. ''I' just don't think I could have done the program justice by remaining. as coach. My new role at the college will require a vast amount of my time and it was MY · decision to leave coaching," he stated. . In his nine years as the , ' Colonel mentor,. · he had a · career . collegiate coaching mark of 138 wins and only 43 setbacks. The last three seasons, as the Colonels advanced to the NCAA Mideast Regionals,- Domzalski's clubs . had '&n · overall record of 66-17. , . Probably the most exciting moment for the Glen Lyon native came in 1!176, when the then unheralded Blue - and Gold swept through the NCAA Division III Mideast Regionals at Mansfield State and went on to finish fourth at the NCAA Division III World Series at · Marietta, Ohio. "We came of age jn 1!176," remembered Domzalski. "For many years we knew we could compete with any Division III team in the nation, but it took our championship at the Regionals to- convince national critics that our program had arrived." · In . the 1!176 Regionlas, Wilkes was the team nobody knew anything about, but in 1!177, the Blue and Gold were the favorites. And like what happens to · the favorite along the line, the Colonels were upset and were the _ first ie.,m eliminated at the event, losing its first two -games. Sport Shorts .

Ntw Coachts Namtd Believe it or not, . this will mark the ·~h year for soccer a t Wilkes College. And believe it or not, . it will be the first year for new head coac h Kurt Hagman . . Hagipan comes to Wilkes by way of Minnesota , where he was brought up and learned t he ~ame of soccer . Hagman, who resides m Tunkha nnock, succeeds · Chip Eaton, who left the area to assum e a full-time position in New York. Hagman shows a lot of experience in the field of soccer , as he was a member .of the Westmont College (Calir.) soccer team, which captured the NAIA national championship in 1972 and 1973. Hagman hopes to bring winning soccer back to Wilkes and sees his job as a challenge. " The first -hurdle is getting_ to know the players and · adapting my system to · the soccer system at Wilkes College. But I'm ready for anything, · and I look for a good year in 1978 by the Wilkes soccer .club," he commented. Hagman will be assisted by Ernesto Lopez, a former soccer star from Mexico · City. After playing soccer in junior and high school, Lopez took up with . a semi-professional team in 1965. He pj~yed year round on Sundays for the semi-pro · club in · the Open Federal District League and during the week played for the University Qf. Mexico, representing the Collel!:,e of Architecture. ·.. · ·tlagman is shown on the left getting. in shape for the upcoming season behind W~kesser Hall with assistant Lopez, on the rig_ht. Eddie fflµte Schmidt has a lot to work with in camp . The Wilkes College football team could win the national championship in 1978, let alone a Middle Atlantic Conference title. On the other hand, the Colonels could again finish the year under .500 like its has the last three seasons. For Wilkes, the difference between winning and losing in 1978 will depend on two things. One, a capable quar tei;back to run the team, and two, a set of inside linebackers to replace the irreplacable Tony'Couto and John Lack. • For the first part, Coach Rollie Schmidt, entering his 17th season at Wilkes, feels he has a good shot to fill the void, as six prospective QB's have been working out regularly in camp. Boy, wouldn't the Miami Dolphins or Cincinnati Bengals love to have . that porblem now that both of their starting quarterbacks are out with injuries. Anyway, the incumbent candidate for the job has to be junior Mike Wilson, who finished up strong last season. The last two years have seen the Upper Marlboro, Md. native grow into a seasoned performer, and it looks like Wilson has garnered the confidence to hold down a starting role. But after all has been said, he will still have to prove it on the Ralston F ield tutL. Behind, or maybe just to the right of Wilson, is senior Bill Sia voski, out-of Wilkes.Barre' s Bishop Hoban High_ School, · who at times possesses a cannon arm , giving him the title, "The Polish Rifle." The four other hopefuls include transfer Andy Hreha, from Delaware Valley, and three freshmen: Tom Cywinski, a local favorite out of Nanticoke Area ; Tony Vlahovic, a , lefty· from Whitehall, Pa.; and Wayn!) Lonstein from Ellenville; N.J. · Finding two inside linebackers could be. Schmidt's toughest task this year. Although it is impossible •to. replace the two he had from last season, Schmidt will have to come up with a winning combo from: junior mike Patrick, freshman Mike Azure, sophomore Leonard Stefaniak, freshman Dave Hadley, junior Rich . ( Wildman) Paciej, junior Frank Dobrinskik, and . freshman Glenn Colvin. Schmidt could possibly ~witch an outside linebacker inside or even a member of the deep defensive.· secondary, but this would just set up another problem, converting more people to fill more vacated areas. On tpe first day of camp, &:hmidt and 0:,. veeted 81 candida tes. Since then a few have gone, but there. still - exists a great am.:..,nt of depth, which just might be . the secret ingredient, for the Blue and Gold to capture a Middle Atlantic Conference title. As far as the coaching staff goes, or brain-thrust, as Dan Devine says, Schmidt will have a fine group of assistants helping • him out this year. Back, as always, as offensive co-ordinator . is Jonah Goobic, as is defensive cO:ordinator Ed ( Smiley) Lukas. Assisting Goobic will be the veteran line coach; Joe Moran, and former great Wilkes receiver Joe Skvarla returns to handle this year's receiving corp. Assisting Lukas will be Charlie Graziano, with the linebackers, and newcomer Dave Kaschak, helping out with the defensive backs. 'Regardless of who is at the signal-calling spot when opening day comes around, the Blue and Gold will have some mighty powerful .runners ' behind him. Topping the list is sophomore Carmen "Hom.er" Lopresto from Pittston Area. Lopresto has the great speed and the knack for finding the open holes. · Colonel followers ar~ already talking of · a 1,000 yard season for the · Pittston Piston. Lopresto, at .only 5-9, could be one 9f_ th~ top three_ ba_c~ in the el!_tire MAC. As Pittston-Uispatch sports editor Eddie Ackerman said, " If Homer was 6-2, he could be at Notre Dame," and we believe him. · In addition to Lopresto, part of the Colonel ground attack will be coming from · tailbacks Rich Chapman, if he is not moved ··t o the fullback slot; sophomore Juan Navarro; Sean O'Dea, a rugged soph; and freshman Joe Wilk, out of Bishop Hoban. At the 'fullback spot, Wilkes fans will see a variety of talent. one of the candidates is Andy Contos. · Yes, Andy contos. The same Andy Contos, who was •a member of the Wilkes offens~ve line the last three seasoni Contos came into camp feeling he could make the club as a fullback, and Schmidt, looking for something to spark the Wilkes , offense up from a deep sleep a year ago, agreed. Behind Contos, is junior speedster Melvin Johnson, who has more moves than Gene Kelly. · Rounding out the fullback corp are junior transfer Paul Kotulak, from Nanticoke Area, via Lycoming College and freshman Joe Knox from Maine. Again, regardless of the quarterback, who ever it • is will have a great bunch of receivers to throw to, led . by junior Rob Irwin, who was red-shirted a year ago. ·other veterans include: Dave Fritzges from Dallas · Area; Bill Molnar a junior from Maryland; Cliff Jones, the sure-handed one from Coughlin; Bob Rushworth . out of Wyoming Valley West. Some top-notch newcomers, ;which are keeping the veterans on their toes, are, Ron Roebuck, a frosh · from . Hoban, Chet Pientka from Nanticoke · · Area, 'Jim Kenney from Crestwood, Jim Morrissey out of· hanover Area, and Steve Yanoshak, a transfer from Penn State. The offensive line is another strong-point · for Wilkes, being anchored by veterans Jeff Shovlin, Tom Sokola, Joel P. Kane, Jim Beck, Tom Heller, Steve Wengen, Dave Gill, and Chip Hicks. Newcomers include: Bob Botteon, Todd Nicholas, Dana Sutliff, Don Jones, Ed Robbins and Emerson Heffner. As alway;s the strongest part of the Colonels over-all attack will be the defense. There, Schmidt has more quality linemen than Rodger Bearde has leisure suits. At the almighty defensive end spots are: Pat Boylan; Steve, Croghan; Don Brown; Lue Nase; Tony Morrash; Ray Pambianco; and Jim Scott. Inside at the tackles are big Ed Mollahan, bigger Jim Devaney, and biggest Rick Krawetz, in addition to Dave Samsel, Randy Ashenfarb, and Mike Hassey. After the inside linebackers and defensive line, things start to look even better. At the outside linebacker positions are both starters from last year - sophomores Tom Breese and Tom Yuhas. Backing them up will be Jim Martin, sophomore John Frappolli, Wes Horner, Dan Pisarcik, and Neil Pufko. The defensive backfield might be the strongest of the strongest for Wilkes as alll the candidates are worth the look. Leading the way is junior co-captain David Korba, a team leader in interceptions last year, and Mike and Mark Molitoris. Also helping out will be the head-hunters Joe Shurites and Mark Arcure and top-recruit Bob Luby, Mike Gould, John Miranda, and Paul Schramm, a top freshman from Nanticoke Area High School. So there is a run down on who the Colonel gridders this year will be: What they will do and how far they go is another story. Next week, the Beacon will take a look a_t _the Blue and Gold's nine game schedule and all its opponents, in addition to providing · a preview peak of the .Middle Atlantic Conference.

Dave Evans, academi~ committee chairman, said that this would be done to get a greater student response fr om the student body. At present he is seeking permission from faculty members to enter their classes and have the evaluation forms completed. Those professors who wish not to cooperate will be evaluated through the mail. Evans also presented to the body the new evaluation form . which is neater, more concise, and divided up into categories of instructor, exams or papers, text, and over all effectiveness. . In other matters, Evans noted the . new restriction on students wishing to transfer credits from another college. In ce rtain departments, a final test will have to be taken and passed when ,------------, I IDC Discusses I I Food Ideas I Three temporary proposals to be added to· next year's Food Service were discussed at Sunday's JDC meeting. These proposals were only a few of the many suggested to the cafeteria staff by Food Com:pittee chairmen Dave Taylor and Greg Wild. The changes to be tried on a trial basis include the addition of five special meals to next year 's menu. These dinners would be similar but not as fancy as, the Thanksgiving , Christmas and Easter dinners now served in the cafeteria and would be held once a month. The other proposals include table linens for Sunday dinners and a cold cut platter at lunch. The cold cut platter would allow students to make their own sandwiches; however, this will only be on a trial basis. Taylor and Wild explained that there would .be no change in the size of portions next year. In other food business, it was announced that Banana Split Sunday will be held this Sunday from 2 p.m. to dinner time in the cafeteria. Last weekend's Block Party was also discussed. JDC President Gary Toczylowski commertted on this year's party and also made suggestions for future ones. Toczylowski also discussed ideas for next year's IDC Council. These ideas included the Council Continued on P. 8 the student returns to the College before it will be transferred. The student will be notified before he take~ the course, however, that he :will have to take the additional final here. Under other SG business Steve Kirshner ; SG president, appointed the new committee chairman and parliamentarian for next year. Dave Blumfield is the new parliamentarian. F or the social committee, Gerald D' Al bis and Marla Brodsky are the cochairmen while Greg Black was reappointed concert committee chairman. Julie Kent, who was not re-elected to SG, was appointed academic chairman. Under the publicity and elections committee, Larry Walsh and Joe Galli are the new heads while Ross Mantione and Basil Kaczmarczkare in charge of the film committee. Kirshner also announced that the last film to be presented is "Death Wish" this Saturday in SLC 101 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. for 25 cents. There is also an important meeting for any interested student in selecting next year's films on Monday at 11 a.m. in the SG office in Weckesser Hall. It was annoUP.ced that anyone interested in working on next year 's freshmen orientation committee must meet Monday at 11 a.m. in SLC 101 for an important meeting. Carl Holsberger, former SG president announced that students may pick up any unsold books from the Used Book Store held in January at the SG office between now and the end of finals. New Beacon Staff Appointed The editorial staff for next year's Beacon was recently announced by George G. Pawlush, Beacon advisor. The staff will include four Beacon veterans and three newcomers.

Dave Evans, academic committee chairman, and Carl Holsberger, SG president, worked hard in both areas to bring about these changes. It is people like this that SG needs more of. The teacher evaluation forms did not turn out as everyone would have liked but this was the very first time the project was undertaken. Changes have already been made for this year's evaluation which will help clear up part of the confusion most students found when trying to read the results. The new decimal point grading system which introduces the new grades of 1.5, 2.5, ang. 3.5 is also very beneficial. This system will measure a student's ability more fairly by leaving out the present wide gaps between grades. The 4.0 student may become a thing of the past because A's will be harder to earn but this system was designed for the majority of the student body, not the gifted or unusually lucky. The teacher evaluations and this new grading policy alone are major changes by SG but there is more. The concert committee, headed by Greg Black, purchased a floor covering for the gym. This now yields the gym much more appealing to use not only for concerts but for dances, lectures and parties. Who knows, with the covering beer may soon be allowed in the gym. In speaking of the concert committee, it should be mentioned that we did have two very entertaining shows by "The Outlaws" and "Firefall'r. Even though Black was under fire and unjustly accused of not doing his job, students must realize that we can't have such top notch concerts as King's College or the University ·of Scranton offer. We simply do not have the facilities. However, there is always room for improvement and with the recent concert survey taken at the last college elections. Black should move towards the strongest area indicated. The other SG committee all completed their routine business rather successfully. Homecoming, under the charge of Rosetta Chiavacci, ran smoothly but her financial report however, is not-existent as of today. The film and social committees did commendable jobs while the publicity and elections committee could have used a little more leadership. It seems that most elections had trouble running without problems and the SG sign near Chase Hall could have been updated more often. Overall, routine business by the body was handled quite well. SGFUNDING Concerning the never ending problems of fund requests, this year's body granted money as they only saw fit. They were much more consistent in granting requests when compared to past Student Governments. Like every year, funds became awfully low at the end of the year, but this was because of the $5,000 spent on the gym floor covering and $2,000 taken away for the school calenders which was usually paid by the administration . If these extraordinary payments were not made, SG would have proved itself very thrifty. It should be noted that a lot of fund requests made should have been taken care of by the adminis tr a ti on· or by certain departments. These are, however, thrown into SG's lap for them to decide in the future of some club's or organization's activit1 which is not fair . She laughs, she cries, she feels angry, she feels lonely, she feels guilty, she makes breakfast, she makes love, she makes do, she is strong, she is weak, she is brave, she is scared, she is ... SG REPRESENTATIVES Rating this year's representatives, one would need a scale from very poor to excellent. On the excellent side we have Larry Assilita, Evans, and Holsberger who all worked above and beyond the call of duty. Assilita, former vice president of SG, was probably one of the best SG members the College has ever had, a diligent worker. He knew SG's potentials and directions and constantly reminded the body of consequences that might arise over certain actions made by SG. As well as being academic committee chairman, Evans was also active representative offering suggestions and opinions on all major decisions. He showed genuine interest and concern for the College. Being SG president, Holsberger did not fully adjust to the job until the second semester •. where he demonstrated himself as an effective leader and to put a fight for what he believes in. He isn't a rebel, but rather a true , politician. Some have criticized his poor participation in SG sponsored activities but this is because they have nothing else to complain about. Other outstanding representatives were Rosetta Chiavacci, Kim Dubosky, Daryl Dwyer, Julie Kent (who should have been re-elected to the body for next year), Steve Kirshner, Frank Scancerella, and John Senatore who all contributed to the weekly . meetings and SG activities. In general, SG has been effective through the high and low waters of the year. Next year's body has the potential to be even better but only time will tell. Jim Edwards Changes To Be Seen In Envi. Sci. Dept. Several changes in the Environmental Science course offerings will be seen next year, according to Department Chairman Dr. Bruce Berryman. The major adjustment will concern the courses that are taken to fulfill core requirements. The ES 101 and 102 sequence will no longer exist, as a new 101 through 105 series will be offered. These five courses are on the introductory level and are survey-type classes, with no prerequisite. Included are 101 ·astronomy, 102 geology, 103 meteorology, 104 oceanography and 105 environmental awareness. Courses may be taken in any order and any two will fulfill one of the sequences required in the u Math-Science section ot tne core listings. Changes were instituted in response to student reaction as expressed on course evaluations and to requests for more introductory courses. Courses are not . open to environmental science majors nor are they recommended for science majors. In addition, the changes will not affect students who have taken 101-102, for that abo fulfills core requirements. The department has also expanded its offerings to its majors with new courses in geology, meteorology and water quality and has changed its name to Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. ...

The singers, under the direction of Richard Chapline, will open the program with five madrigals. Included are "Come again, Sweet love doth now invite: and "Weep you no more sad fountains" by John Dowland; "April is in my mistress' face" by Thomas Morley; "Ah, love, I laugh while singing" by Hans Leo Hassler; and "Matona, lovely maiden" by Orlando di Lasso. In the middle portion of the program, individual singers from the group will be featured. They will perform duets, trios, and quartets ranging from Henry Purcell of the Restoration period thru the Romantic operas of Giacoma Puccini. The program will close with three compositions by the American composer, Samuel Barber. Included in this group are "Let down the bard, 0 Dealh! " based on a poem by Emily Dickinson; and "Anthony O'Daly" and the "The Coolin" based on poems by James Stephens. The concert is open to the public. There is no admission charge.

The council is not to be put down for their failures because it tried to take on so much more than lasf year's council. Each project was practically a first time experience. PARKING PROBLEMS RESOLVED One problem that faces the council every year is parking and this year's body tried to alleviate the problem as much as possible. A parking ramp was considered but once it was proven that there was no feasible way of having one, the idea was replaced by proposing a new plan to the Parking Authority of Wilkes- Final Exams Reveal Their life Stories As students, most of us are aware of a negative attitude toward taking final exams, and we have developed some idea of our instructor's attitude toward the purposefulness of giving finals. However, have anyone of you ever stopped to consider what it must be like to be a FINAL EXAM? Being a final exam is not a joyous or solid existence, they may be responsible for students failing a course, or they may enable a student to raise his grade from a "3" to a "4." Perhaps you would better understand the existence of a final if you were aware of the conditions of that existence. The following dialogue was overheard and related to me by a reliable student who just happened to be hiding in the back of an instructor's closet, behind a stack of final exams. 1ST EXAM: Hey Joe! Wake up! It's that time again! 2nd EXAM: Mmmm-Huh! Ah, Dan, why did you wake me? I was having this wonderful dream about the most adorable little pamphlet I met at a printer's. 1ST EXAM: That'i absurd, Joe. Exams don't dream. besides, I said it's that time again.

My dad always wanted me to be a football ticket - he was a program, himself - but I couldn't "stand" the thought of all of that violence. 1ST EXAM: Violence! You think that we don 't lead a violent life? Look at our tortured existence: with the exception of two weeks out of the year, we are simply stacked and stored on a shelf in a dark and dusty closet; and then, come finals time, we are ripped from the dark environment to which we've come accustomed, and blinded by the flourescent lights .... 2nd EXAM: Calm yourself. He's ... 1ST EXAM: And as if that isn't violent enough, they tamper with our printing: change a number in the date here ... change a word there ... maybe a sentence .. . 2ND EXAM: Please, Dan ... not so loud! 1ST EXAM: And then, they pass us out and deliver us into the cold, clammy hands of those over anxious students who laugh, then frown - then glare at us ... and make us choke on their tears. 2ND EXAM: Dan ... 1ST EXAM: And then they write on us even though we dearly tell them, "DO NOT WRITE ON FINAL EXAM." After marring our surface with their scratchy, liquidy objects, they attempt to undo the damage by pressing harder and harder in a back and forth motion withthose light pink rubbery stubs, until they put a hole in us and I feel I can no longer bear the abuse and you say that this isn't violence? 2ND EXAM: N·ow look what you've done ... You and you 're big mouth! He's spotted us! He's coming our way ... he's reaching for us ... He's .. . Silence. Upon relating this conversation to me, the student stated that he will never again complain about exams, as he now realizes that "the final existence" is only a "passing thing.

Thursday night, however, when that issue came out, a small group of men from Diaz House were busy cleaning up their bathroom and painting their entire dorm. For no apparent reason other than being sick of the disgusting conditions, they made the bathroom shine. Maintenance's work has come no where near what the bathroom looked like that night. The dorm was painted a brighter color and lights were put in all fixtures making the hall look far from being considered a dark alley. We commend this small group of men from Diaz House for making the initiative and effort to improve the dorm and taking positive and constructive action. Who says there is no pride or responsibility in NMD? Thanks & Good Luck That time af the year which we have been working toward is now at hand, and is an obvious opportunity to reflect on the events of this academic year. In our case, it is the time to review the accomplishments of various student organizations, including our own, in hopes of improving our efforts for the coming year. . It is also a time to express our gratitude to the people who have helped The Beacon during this and past years. Our thanks to Jeff Acornley, our graduating sports editor, and to Donna Korba, our departing advertising manager/cartoonist. A special note of sincere appreciation to Managing Editor Janine Pokrinchak. We would also like to once again thank the Pittston Sunday Dispatch for coming to our rescue more times than it should have been asked to especially to those people who just set this copy for us. (Thanks, Anne and Tina). Our appreciation to our advisor George Pawlush, who joined us in the middle of the year, and to the many people on campus, administrators, faculty and students, who took the time to tell us when they liked what they read and who offered only constructive, intelligent criticism. In this, our last issue for 1977-78, we would like to wish the graduating seniors the best of luck and hope that the rest of us return to Wilkes next year with even higher hopes and bigger dreams. - - - - - - - - - -.

King's Student Attacks Holsberger And Praises Mumford And Rinkunas To The Editor: On Friday evening April 14 the First Annual Inter-Collegiate Variety Talent Competition was held at the Irem Temple. A total of seventeen acts competed in comedy, music and dance categories. Seven of the acts were from King's, six were from LCCC, two were from Misericordia and two were from Wilkes. The proceeds from the show benefitted the Wyoming Valley Cahtper of the American Red Cross. Lenny Collins and Steve Swiggard from LCCC won the trophy in the comedy category. Maggie Lenahan won the trophy in the dance category, and Donna Pierce won tht trophy in the music category. Both Maggie and Donna are from King's. As chairman of the show and fellow 'college student, I was disappointed in the representation from both Wilkes and Mis eri cordia . The sh ow was planned to be run at the student level allowing the student representatives from each of the colle ges to handle all the arrangements under the supervision and guidance of the Red Cross volunteers. Unfortunately there seemed to be a lack of communication between the Wilkes College representative and his fellow st_udents. Your former student government president, who was the representative for the show, also made several promises and then failed to fulfill them. One example of such a promise was his guarantee that the student government would subsidize the sale of the student tickets at Wilkes for the show. He said the S.G. would pay $1 for all the student tickets and then sell them for 50c. Three days before the show he informed me that the ~tudent government was not only not going to subsidize the student tickets, but was not even going to try and sell them or the general admission tickets . Anyone who was not able to make it to the show missed a splendid. evening of entertainment. I am pleased to say that Wilkes was represented by two wonderfully talented students. Mia Mumford played the piano and NO SMOKING-- sang a song that she composed herself entitled " Always With You." Believe it or not, Mia can't even read music. ~ Gail Rinkunas did a jazzdance entitled "Provocative Percussion." Both acts were excellent and definitely added to the difficulty the judges had in choosing the winners. Gail also helped by providing some ushers to help the night of the show. Although I was disappointed in the student cooperation from Wilkes I would like to thank Mia and Gail for the enthusiasm they both exhibited by .competing. They showed a great deal of interest in Wilkes and the Red Cross, but more importantly in themselve;i. I enjoyed working with them and wish to thank them and at the same time prove that apathy doesn 't exist in everyone in college, at least not here. Thanks again Gail and Mia, you are two outstanding people in my eyes. Dave Jenkins Student at King's , Morning has broken and so will our necks, right? Well what can we say?

A family movie that comes close to Disney, yet keeps its distance by staying just a little bit "saucier," "Casey's Shadow" is a warm drama guaranteed to rouse emotions you might have thought disappeared after you reached age 12. And, because virtue isn't a thoroughly attractive quality, "Casey's Shadow" falls somewhere between reality and dreams taking care to avoid as much as possible the realm of the fairy tale. Walter Matthau stars as a tough, gambling Cajun horse trainer who is also busy raising three sons while keeping an eye out for his "pot of gold." The surlycowboy with the constant five o'clock-shadow unknowingly receives his opportunity in the form of a quarter horse foal. Matthau and his sons (Andrew A. Rubin, Stephan Burns, and Michael Hershew as young Casey) raise the colt in hopes of training him to be a runner. The million dollar dream is plagued with obstacles as the colt suffers several leg injuries, static from a wealthy horse owner interested in buying Matthau's family out, and an attempt to poison the horse. Matthau lets nothing stand in his way, however, and is determined to win the All-American at Ruidoso Downs no matter what the cost The price is high when Matthau risks endangering and ruining Casey's Shadow by running him with his still mending injuries. His sons exhibit fading loyalty to their father's ideals and figure the attractive cash prize as the reason for M_atthau's irrationality. The scene switches to an exciting, slow-motion horse race, the restdt of which anyone can easily calculate. Predictability, however, has limited effect in comparison to the strong moral structure that echos from the movie's plot. · "Casey's Shadow" offers an enjoyable homespun story of life in rural America with a gruff, witty humor almost as stubbly as Matthau's complexion, woven within. But it's not just "kid stuff." A familiar but excellent moral appeal, which has been eliminated from most current films , is made in an effective style. Without preaching, the movie tugs at some of the values we might have to blow the dust off of in order to reapply. Friday's Special Games winning team he's doing. A remarkably sensitive, yet disciplined saga, "Casey's Shadow" is obviously a "sure hit" and definitely a winne~. Diane's Story Of Der Three Degrees If he's pitching, then I'm not batting Before entering college, one of the decisions every student must make is what course of study, or subject he will follow to earn a degree. When a major has been decided on, a list of requirements and electives is mapped out for the student to follow. Most students choose a single major, however, there are those ambitious individuals who elect a second major. They can accompiish this by taking an overloadin credits each semester or taking their elective credits in one department. But, would you believe, there are people · who have elected triple majors. When Diane Polachek graduates from Wilkes in May, she will have completed the requirements for degrees in elementary education, French, and psychology. When Diane began her freshman year at Wilkes, she was an elementary education major, and during her sophomore year added psychology. "I knew that some of the courses needed fored uca ti on, like ed. psych, overlapped as a requirement in psychology too," explained the Kingston resident. Diane also added French to her degree, having taken many courses in that department. Last· summer Diane earned an additional six credits in French when she was awarded the Foreign Language and Literature Depart m ents Scholarship. The scholarship, which was donated by Robert Salsburg, gave Diane the opportunity to study at the Uniyersity of Tours for six weeks. During J:ier stay at the University, Diane and the 50 other students who flew with her from New York to the LouireValley, stayed in modern one room dorms . The program was sponsored by Rutgers University. "I enjoyed my stay there very much," she said, "I learned a lot, and the people were great." Diane also visited Paris; Brittany and England. How does one first come to a decision such as a triple major? "Deciding early is important" explains Diane, "otherwide you can't get required courses in and decide how to channel electives." Diane never took classes during the summers or had to take an overload in credits either. With three advisors to aid her, she scheduled classes to leave enough time for clubs and tennis. Her interest in tennis began in high school, when she participated in an intermural match. At Wilkes, Diane has been a four year member of the Women's Tennis Team and Letterwomen's Club. She is currently preparing for the inter-team tryouts for the M.A.C.'s which will be held at Wilkes on May 5 and 6. Diane, along with Linda McGuire will be playing third singles. Diane, who was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, has been active in Theta Delta Rho, the Wilkes sorority. She has served as treasurer during her sophomore year, presid~nt during her junior year and is currently senior representative. She has tutored in the Upward Bound program, in French, history, English, and psychology. Diane is currently completing her semester of student teaching, spending five weeks in an elementary school and another five weeks in a secondary school in the Wyoming Valley West School District. Ifshe had the chance to do her undergraduate years over, would Diane change anything? "No," she laughed, "I'd do things exactly the same.'' After graduation, Diane would like to teach, and then attend graduate school at Florida State, N.Y.U., or the University of Virginia to study French and Linguistics. Whatever decisions she is faced with after graduation, Diane is certainly prepared to handle them. s �Softball Team Winless, But Improving The Wilkes College women's softball team is 0-3 on the season. But, believe it or not, they're getting better. At least that is what Coach Gay ( Billy Martin) Meyers thinks. The lady Colonels, before Wednesday's home game with Baptist Bible, were winless , and having a rough time, just like Mrs. Meyers' favorite pro team, the New York Yankee hotdogs. Anyway, the ladies latest defeat was at the hands of undefeated Scranton University ( them again?) , 5-4 at- "Duh U." The club was at one point leading the Royalettes, but left 13 players on .base enroute to the ~ss. · Down, 5-4 in ·the top of the last, Wilkes did put together a threating rally, which unfortunately fell through. Co-captain Karen Olney led off the frame by getting on base via an error. After Lynn Yedlock flied out, Jackie (Brooks) Wiendl singled. Following Mary Jo Frail's fly out to first base, Kathy Poplasky walked, loading the bases with two gone. Former Meyers standout Patty Parquenti hit a hard ground ball to shortstop, which was picked up, and Patty was nipped at first base to end the ball game. "Duh U" went into the game at 9-0. Top hitter for the Colonelettes was Sue Freda, who went two for four at the plate. Karen Olney also did a fine job in the field and at the plate, according to Coach Meyers. SOFTBALL SOFTIES: ... Leading hitters for Wilkes are Sue Freda and Anita Meehan, both with four hits in three games and .363 batting averages . . .Bernie Swiderski is the club's leader in RBI's with 4. . .Freda and Meehan are also the "road runners" on lhe team with three stolen bases each . . .As a team, Wilkes is hitting .213 which is about what Reggie Jackson hits. . .Lady Colonels will travel to Marywood Today, before hosting King's College on April 29 for a home game at Kirby Park, and closing out its season with L.C.C.C. on May 4. Eddie White III Duffers Warm-up for MAC Tourney Before Wednesday's home match with East Stroudsburg, the Wilkes College golf team held a 8-2 overall record· and seemed set for this weekend's Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament. Last Friday, the Blue and Gold of Coach Rollie Schmidt defeated Lycoming College, 394-439 at the Irem Temple Country Club. Taking co-medalist honors for Wilkes were: Bryan Hoynak and Bruce Slavinski with 75's.

The Colonel duffers tallied a 399, while Susquehanna had 411, and Ursinus 465. It was the first loss of the year for the Indians of Susquehanna, who are 7-1. Taking medalist honors for Wilkes was Steve Nielsen with a 76. Other top Colonel scorers were Bill Briggs 77, Bruce Slavinski 79, Barry Williams, 83, Joe Skladany 84, Kenny Donlavage, the captain with a 86, and Brian Hoynak with a 87. Coach Schmidt's club will host Albright and Juniata College today at the Irem Temple Country Club in a triangular event, before departing for the MACs on Sunday and Monday.

(Photo by Bob Gaetano> T • j,' Stickmen _Do Cooking Of Their Own While the baseball team's famous "Lumber Company" is knocking homeruns out of the park, the Wilkes stickmen are starting a business of their own. Last week the Colonel lacrosse team combined 32 goals in two Middle Atlantic Conference games to raise its MAC record to 3-2 and overall log to 3-4. Wilkes started the week on the right foot when thlcy edged ,Haverford College l'l-15, avenging an 8-2 loss from a year ago. The Blue and Gold offense exploded with It goals in the first half, while the defense held the Fords to four. Despite the Fords outscoring the Colonels 6-2 and 5-4 in the next two quarters the Wilkesmen maintained the advantage. "It was a little close for comfort and we're glad we mustered that strong fourth quarter or we may have gotten into trouble", noted Coach Jon Hobrock. Colonel senior co-captain Bruce Davis paced the Wilkes scoring attack with an outstanding seven goals and two assists. Davis became the second highest point-scorer in a single game in Colonel history, behind 1976 graduate Billy Winter. Winter was MVP and an honorable mention selection to the Nations All-Star team. Davis was the spotlighted lacrosseman this week, totalling eight goals and five assists in both the Haverford game and Saturday's contest with Muhlenburg. Wayne Krum and Bill Adams were second in scoring with seven goals and one assist in two matches. Krum had four in the Haverford game and three Saturday to help the Colonels to their 15-5 ' triumph over Muhlenburg for "Parents Day". Bill Adams was the leader Saturday, hitting the nets four times and assisting once. Fellow classmate Brian Blesi of Bethpage, N.Y. was third with three goals on the week and four assists in the Haverford game. Doug Price scored once in each game while Joe Burnett found the range once again Haverford and twice Saturday. Colonel senior Greg Wild managed to score Saturday, after being in a mild slump since ·the opening game where he registered four. Mark Sanders, sophomore midfielder of West Islip, N.Y. wasted little time in breaking the ice Saturday as he recorded the team's first goal as well as his first individual tally of the season. Bernie Donachie, Bill·Abrams, Joe Burnett and Doug Price turned in impressive games both defensively and picking up ground balls last week. That quad of top performers lifted 55 ground balls to Haverfords' 38 and Hobrock believed the hustle demonstrated by his Colonels made the difference Wednesday in the close game with the Fords. Wilkes freshman goalkeeper Dave Singer recorded 19 saves at Haverford and nine Saturday while Andy Dutch also saw action at goal and had three saves in Saturday's tilt. Singer was listed among the "Top Five" goalies in the MAC in the most recent release and has compiled 77 saves in the MAC and 99 overall. Looking impressive on defense were senior co-'captain John Lack, John Larkin, Steve Kinback, Todd Noll, Joe Martire and Bill Abrams. Defensive coordinator Bill MacArthur pointed to Bob Taylor, Donachie and Noll for their excellent defense at Haverford and felt they contributed the key roles in the 17-15 battle. Wilkes used a lot of its reserves in Wednesday's and Saturday's game and proved its bench is one of the strongest in the East. The Wilkesmen were idle this week and face Western Maryland for "Alumni Day" Saturday at 2 p.m. at Ralston Field. The 1978 schedule is winding down and the Blue and Gold only have three matches remaining. Hobrock is optimistic since the two matches last week served as "Moral Boosters" . Wilkes will have its work cut out for them with Maryland who was 3-0 in the MAC as of April 22, and has a player in the top ten scoring leaders. Looking ahead, the Wilkesmen host Lebanon Valley on May 3 and finish with Franklin and Marshall on May 6. Last year the Colonels defeated Lebaon Valley in a hard-fought .14-11 contest, and lost to the strong F&M squad 17-8. Sophomore Bill Adams will be well-remembered by the Lebanon Valley stickmen as he poured in six goals as a freshman last season to ruin Lebanons hopes.

John Forte, recently promoted from the Phelps minor league system, aided his team's cause with a double and a triple. "Duke" Scancerella also homered for the Fan Club in the 12-1 rout. The Phelps dynasty, compared by many to that of John Woodens UCLA squads, Vince Lombardi's Packers, and Joe McCarthy's Yankees, will now face their biggest test of the.,season when they square off this week with the also undefeated Smegmas.

Coach Tom Rokita 's netmen dropped a 9-0 decision to Bloomsburg and an 8-1 match to Elizabethtown before storming back to defeat King 's 8-1. The team record is now one match below .500 and 4 wins and 5 losses. By this time, the King's College Monar chs must finally be realizing what hit t~m. Trying to avenge an earlier 6-3 loss to the Colonels, King's was able to capture only a singl!:! point in the match. This lone Colonel loss of the day was also a very close decision, so Wilkes almost pulled off a perfect 9-0 shutout. Playing excellent tennis for Wilkes were : Mike Hromchak, a 6-1 , 6-2 winner ; Terry Collins, who won easily 6-1; 6-1; and Captain Rick Baran who had an especially easy time with his Monarch opponent, winning by a lo sided 6-1 6-0 count. This match with King 's was along with the Moravian win, the Colonels' most impressive outing of the season. The earlier matches in the week were not so impressive. Wilkes was unable to score a single point against a very strong Bloomsburg team, and the general consensus was that the team was happy to get the Bloom match over with. The Elizabethtown match looked like a replay of the meeting with Bloom. This time Bill Murtaugh managed to defeat his strong opponent but the team lost 8-1. In all fairness to Wilkes, both of these opponents are very strong and play great tennis. Fortunately, with the MAC'S coming up this week, the team got its rhythm and confidence back against King's. Following the MAC'S, Wilk es face s, Albr ight, Baptist Bible a nd Muhlenburg, If they play the way they did against King's, .500 is still within reac up with six saves and four blocks. Pam Snyder added four saves, and Cindy Rossi, Amy Gordon, Karen Polomski and Karen Burkley had three each. Rossi and Gordon led the spiking attack, with four slams each, while the team total effort looked like this : 17 spikes, 24 saves and five blocks. Monday the Blue and Gold made it two in a row, as Baptist Bible fell for the second time this season. Wilkes had to play catchup, however, as the women dropped the first game 13-15, and had to work to make up a deficit in the second before winning that one, 16-14. The remaining two games weren't as intense, as Baptist Bible fell more quickly, 15-8, 15-8. Cindy Rossi, Karen Burkley and Sally Steele served 15, 14 and 12 points respectively, while Amy Gordon played an excellent defensive game, ending up with 12 saves. She was joined by Pam Snyder with 11. Team came up with 18 spikes, only two blocks, but 34 saves to put Baptist Bible away and give Coach Saracino a muchappreciated birthday present. Wilkes' possible season records include 6-2, 5-3 and 4-4, all an improvement over the 3-5 performance of last year, and not a bad way to end this third regular season.

Each team will enter one doubles team and one singles competitors. A consolation round will be played in addition to the final matches. Action on both days begins at 9:30 a .m. It's a sad story, but this is your last report on the Wilkes College baseball team from The Beacon sports page. But, you can keep track of the "South City Gunners," or "The Lumber Company" or whatever you want to call them by reading your hometown newspapers , because the Colonels have reached the status of being one of the top teams in the nation in Division III baseball. Going into Wednesday's rematch twinbill with the Royals of Scranton University at Artillery Park, the Blue and Gold of Coach Gene Domzalski owned a 14-1 overall mark, and a 4-0 mark in the Middle Atlantic Conference's North-West Division. The Colonels will meet Juniata College on Saturday afternoon in a doubleheader at Artillery Park which could give Wilkes the MAC North-West title for the second straight year, if they sweep Coach Bill Berrier's team. Since the 21-0 blasting of East Stroudsburg State College, Wilkes has gone 3-0 with a 9-5, 9-1 sweep of Delaware Valley and Richie Zisk's brother John, and Monday'i; win over a tough Ursinus College team , 7-4. Seven runs might not sound like much, but it's the lowest total for the Colonels in one game in the last 11 encounters. Now, that's a lumber company. Last Saturday was a day for the pitchers against Del Val. Senior Andy Kresky picked up his fifth win of the year in the opener, hurling six innings, and striking out 12, while allowing only four hits and two earned runs. Kresky is 5-1 overall with a 1.80 ERA and 44 k's in 35 frames . The other senior hurler, Barry Harcharufka, knotched the victory in the nite-cap, going the route, while giving up five hits, (four were infield singles ), in seven frames , while striking out 13 and giving up only one unearned run. Harcharufka is 5-0 on the year, with a 1.29 ERA and 35 k's in 28 innings. As a team, Wilkes pitching is 14-1, nine saves, with a 1.87 ERA, and 120 k's -in 101 innings. The Colonels, which as a team has banged out 29 homeruns in the first games, hit four against Del Val. Those with the roundtrippers were : Phil Marino, Bill Polaha, Gary Capece, and Lou Elefante. Elefante leads the team in homeruns with five, followed by Ken Suchoski and Terry Schoen with four each. Monday's close game with Ursinus College, might have been a blessing in disguise, as it proved the Blue and Gold can come back. Down 4-1 in the seventh inning, Wilkes exploded for a five-spot, led by Ken Suchoski's RBI double and Lou Elefante's two RBI triple, to take the 7-4 win. Suchoski is as hot as heck now, batting at a .412 clip, while leading the team in hits (27) and RBI's (26 ). Following Saturday's MAC show-down with Juniata , Wilkes will meet Kutztown State College ( Division II) for a single game on the road on May 4, before hosting the No. 2 team in Division II in the country, Upsala College, on Thursday, May 4, in a 2:00 single game at Artillery Park. · The Middle Atlantic Co:1ference championship tourney, captured by Wilkes last year, will be held on May 13, and just might be held at Artillery Park. Also, the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Selection Committee, is considering Artillery Park for hosting this season's regional, which could be a big plus for the Colonels of Coach Gene Domzalski. COLONEL CLOUTS: ... Leading hitters for Wilkes are: Schoen .474, Andrewscavage .444, Marino .440, Suchoski .412, Hungarter .381, and Elefante .370 . . .Terry Schoen is off towards a record pace in runs scored with 25. . .Andrewscavage is one double away from tying assistant coach Tony Schwab's school record of eight. . .Randy McHenry (freshman) and Danny Pisarcik (junior) are 2-0, with Jim Kearney owning three saves .. .As a team Wilkes is hitting .382.

Spring is in the air, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, and Wyoming Valley celebrates another Cherry Blossom Festival. It all began in 1967, when representatives from the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce approached the Luzerne County Commissioners with an idea which would show off the beautiful Wyoming Valley. John Mattern headed a committee, composed of Roy Morgan and Atty. Mitchell Jenkins, who presented the idea of a Cherry Blossom Festival to County Commissioners. As Mattern put it, "We think we can eventually create a new image for our community ... put a sparkle ... put new life into it." tators. The cooperation of the colleges, schools, businesses in the Wyoming Valley Area has been outstanding since 1967. And today nearly every group, club and business in Wyoming Valley provides some type of support for the Gala Festival Weekend. Mother Nature and the cherry trees sometimes forget they are supposed to be in bloom at festival time. The blossoms are very delicate and need the right combination of moisture and temperature to fully bloom. The Wyoming Valley Spring season is usually marked by fluctuations in temperature and moisture, thus the poor timing record of flowers and festival. Washington, D.C. FIRST FESTIVAL IN1968 Communities lining the river, from Pittston to Nanticoke, were encouraged to beautify the banks of the Susquehanna by planting lovely cherry trees. Numerous trees were planted, and the river's banks burst forth with new beauty. West Pittston joined in the planting .and has its own yearly Cherry Blossom Festival.

Formal dedication and blessing of the 24foot statue of the College Patron took place October 28, 1956, the Feast of Christ the King. The statue is cast in one-half inch aluminum and is beautifully lighted at night, making it visible to many sections of Wyoming Valley. Occupying a prominent place in the Wilkes-Barre skyline, King's statue faces west overlooking the beautiful Wyoming Valley and the historic Susquehanna River . From a distant view, the edifice gives the appearance of a huge cross by day and by night. Originally, the idea of a statue for the top of the six-story Main Building was conceived by the Rev. Leo F . Flood, C.S.C., former president of King 's College. Father Flood presented his idea to the Alumni Association of the college. The graduates enthusiastically adopted the project of financing erection of the statue. From the general alumni office at King's, the drive for funds was held and met with a fine response from the graduates. Many friends of the college also donated to the statue fund. Adolph Ell, Jr., instructor in art at King's, designed the :iili :::1: original model for the statue. After a careful study of proposals submitted, the contract for the statue was awarded to Lawrence Russo of neighboring Kingston. Mr. Russo, prominent in the field of sculpture, had a brilliant background of outstanding artistic projects in the East. After completing the huge figure of "Chrsit the King" in clay, Mr. Russo made a plaster of paris casting. Then the statue was cast in aluminum sections. The sections were welded together on the rooftop of the Main Building where the statue was reinforced with steel framework. Spotlights were installed to light the statue at night. �April 21 - April JO, 1978 Cherry Blossom Times Page 4 Wilkes ·c ollege Major Asset To Area Wilkes College continues as a major asset to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Once a plot of land bearing a thriving railroad station in the late lBOO's, now is a vibrant center for the performing arts. Committed to educational theater, the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts was the fulfillment of a dream. Now 14 years after its completion, the CPA maintains its commitment to Wilkes College and the community at large. Over 50,000 people attended performances, films, lectures, meetings, rehearsals, and concerts at the CPA. More than 250 Wilkes students participated in the production of those events. The CPA additionally is a cultural facility which hosts more than 50 campus and community organizations. Indeed, the spirits of education, imagination and creativity live in abundance in such a "house. " The late Annette Evans, the trustee instrumental in the construction of the CPA, said it is "a place to turn what man dreams into an expression of what he will become." Her words underscore the essence of educational theater. One need only to experience the panoramic view from the lighting control booth to the rear and above the 500-seat auditorium on an opening night before a capacity house to understand the grasp of creativity in the performing arts. Students, as actors on stage, create illusions and transform illusions into beliefs for the audience. Wilkes educational efforts have offered remarkable experiences for students participating in the theatre. Their experiences include experimental theatre performances, where the essence of drama unfolds; modern dance classes, where they learn the physical discipline of the body in an effort of expression. The classroom, where they might study the rebirth of theatre in the Italian Renaissance, tracing the roots of modern stage design. Scene and costume shops offer students opportunities to translate designing plans into a stage environment. Wilkes students may paint the backdrops for a high school musical, build sets for community theatre production, prepare a puppet show for a local elementary school or direct high school students entered in a one-act play competition. The solitary student, seated in the reading room at the CPA, is moved by the performing spirit. Fourteen years since the ground breaking has found the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts at Wilkes College, turning dreams into eloquent performances, visions into fulfilled students and hopes into a joint commitment to the perpetuation of the arts.

For details, see p. 3 - - -- - --- ------ ---------------------------- - Party Ban Discussed Access Among NMD Proble.ms VANDALISM - Both the Library and New Men's Dorm have become victims of an increasing number of vandals. As a result, a party ban has been set in New Men's Dorm and the Library faces the problems of replacing damaged books and journals. Debate Union Captures First National Honors Debate Union wrote still another chapter of Wilkes history when it captured the overall first place award in the national Phi Kappa Delta Honorary Forensic Society's annual tournament in Plymouth, Mass. The Forensic Unit of "Kinney's Kids" won 15 national awards, raising the total number of trophies won this year to 70, more than double the 22-year-old record of 30 awards. The award marks the first time the squad has won a national honor, and establishes it as the best unit on the East coast. It also is the first time all Wilkes competitiors won medals during the same competition. Marcia Stratton, Donna Korba, Davida Roberts , Ann Sharkey, David Evans and Jack Lambert combined efforts to win one gold, three silver and eight bronze medals. They also won three trophies for excellence in speaking, in addition to the first place title. This was only the third national in which Wilkes has participated since 1956. This weekend the union is participating in the national tournament, which is by invitation only and attracts the top teams in the country. The Debate'Forensic unit is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. KinneL._ speech division. Vandalism and the easy access to New Men's Dorm were the highlights of the discussion at a meeting Monday night · of NMD representatives, Housing Director Joe Marchetti and Dean George Ralston. The group met to discuss the current situation in Pickering Hall (NMD) where a party moratorium is in effect. Ban was the result of damage incurred at recent parties. Representatives of the nine dorms within the building agreed that NMD lacks the sense of pride and responsibility that outside dorms exhibit, due to the set-up of the compl~x. It was pointed out that only the center lounge (where alcohol and congregating are prohibited) is an adequate place for a party, and that each of the three dorms on each floor, while expected to behave as individual groups, do not have individual areas to hold social functions. The lack of pride and feelings of unity were attributed to this problem, and various suggestions, including the renovation of the center lounge, were made. Dean Ralston said that this possibility would be looked into. The fact that Pickering is so easy. to enter at almost any time of the day or night led Ralston to · comment that it is like "Grand Central Station," and Marchetti to observe that it is a "24-hour gathering place for resident students, commuters and high school students." No acceptable solution to this problem was agreed upon. Damage done to the facility during or after parties was also a topic for discussion, when it was revealed that glass doors are broken at least once every ·weekend, and each door costs $100 to replace. Marchetti claimed that more doors are broken by dorm students than by outsiders, and Ralston · commented that "reasonable people wouldn't break doors." He also asserted that there is no reason for anyone to become intoxicated and resort to such action. Representatives agreed that drinking is the primary social activity on campus, and that since few other activities are offered that are attended by a majority of the student population, this popularity would continue. The need for an effective party policy and efficient enforcement was thus seen to be an important i-tem to consider. Although no definite policies were made ( a meeting was held Wednesday night to discuss the issues in more detail ), people who attended Monday's meeting felt that better student leadership in the form of dorm councils was needed, in addition to better facilities for NMD residents. Wilma Hurst Library Sees 'Upsurge' In Vandalism This Year The Eugene Shedden Farley Library has seen an "upsurge" in vandalism this year, according to library officials. . Reference Librarian Fred Krohle reported that an increasing number of books and journals are being multilated by having pages torn out and passages underlined; graffetti can be found on library signs and book labels and microfilm has also suffered damage. "It's the old story of a few people hurting everyone," he said, "and it does hurt everyone in the long run because everyone pays for it in some way." lllPAGESMISSING He showed The Beacon some examples of the damage done this year, in the form of a $45 book with 111 pages missing and a journal with notes in the margins and numerous passages underlined in ink. · " It takes a great deal of time, effort and money to repair the damage done to these materials," he noted, "since we have to find replacements for the pages or have to replace the entire book. It all comes down to dollars and cents which partly come from student tuition. It also hurts the student by limiting the available resources." Some problems with graffetti, missing signs and damaged furniture have also surfaced, continued on page 3 On The Cover Here she is, folks.

THE BEACON AWARDED FIRST PLACE RATING Three First Place Awards In Three . Years The Beacon has been awarded a first place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the third consecutive year. It competed with other four-year institutions of similar enrollment from across the country. Issues for 1977 were judged in relation to these other colleges and universities and were awarded 866 out of a possible 1000 points. Jui s in the fifty-fourth annual contest stated that "The Beacon has many commendable points: overall good news coverage, a strong editorial page, some good features and a strong ~.ports section." Generanf~s overage was given 46 out of 50 points , and the sports section received a perfect score, as it was considered well-balanced, with women's sports seeing excellent coverage. Content and coverage received 94 per cent of the possible points, while writing and editing earned 86 per cent, along with design and display. Marks in individual categories within these major areas were consistently in the 80s and 90s. The paper received a first place c~rtificate, along with a detailed critique q._<;mtaining marks, comments and suggestions, all intended to aid future issues. Editor-in-Chief Wilma-Hurst commented on the award, saying " It's very gratifying to receive recognition from such a prestigious organization, and I think this award speaks well for the people responsible for publishing The Beacon, especially this year's staff, which often had to work under some very trying conditions. "I also think the Pittston Sunday Dispatch was a tremendous asset to us this year, as the people there never failed to offer their assistance and expertise whenever it was needed. "The suggestions made by Columbia will be examined this summer, and hopefully, next year's Beacon will be even better." . �PAGE 2, THE BEACON, APRIL 21, 1978 SG • Kirshner Begins Term; .,_m Fedwal Semlller B/1111 Remedy Nevv Off'·ce•s Elected • Steve Kirshner took over the position of Student Government president at Monday night's SG meeting as Carl Holsbetger ended his term. A round of applause from the body was given to Kirshner who then promised a very productive year ahead. Elections for · next year's executive council were held and the results were as follows: Greg Black defeated Dave Blumfield for vice president; Barbara Landis was the only person nominated for recording secretary; John Senatore won the post for treasurer over Dave Blumfield, Larry Walsh, and Steve Kicka ; and as corresponding secretary and homecoming chairperson, Sharon Maganello beat out Gerald D'Albis. Tribute was paid to the outgoing executive council for their work this past year. They were Larry Assilita, vice president; Frank Scancerella, treasurer; Diane • Coleman, recording s~cretary; and Ros~tta Chiavacci, corresponding se~::?~ommit~e reports, the academic committee reported that the teacher evaluation forms will have fewer questions for this semester. -~hese _questions ~ill also be divided mto categories such as the book used, exams given, and the overall effectiveness of the teacher. A number representing the average response for each category may be used. Dave Evans, committee chairman, stressed how important it is for students to fill out their evaluation forms. The committee is hoping for at least a 50 per cent response as compared to the 20 per cent response of the last evaluation. Greg Black, concert committee chairman, reported that the Firefall concert on Sunday night 1 was a success with everyone seeming to have a good time. Out of a capacity of 2100 tickets available, 1450 people attended while only 257 students bought from the 500 subsidized tickets available. The film "The Three Musketeers" will be shown today and Sunday at 8 p.m. in the CPA for 25 cents. Kirshner announced that any student interested in serving on a Student-Faculty committee next year may pick up an application in the Library or the bookstore. All applications must be returned to the SG office by next Friday, April 28. Students also interested in being a committee chairman of SG should contact Kirshner who will appoint new people. These positions are open to the whole student body and not just SG representatives. At the close of the meeting the body decided to ask Dean Edward Baltruchitus to, again, be the SG advisor. He accepted.

GRAFFETTI A PROBLEM Graffetti is an "ongoing problem" which is dealt with as quickly as possible, but Krohle noted that some is missed and others cannot be removed without incurring great expense. The librarian also noted that a sign, which had been screwed into a wall, is missing, along with other less securely attached notices. Micorfilm has been torn or broken, but Krohle feels that this is probably caused by students not knowning how to properly use the viewers. He emphasized that the library staff is always willing to instruct people in the correct manner to operate any of the library equipment. Wilma Hurst METRIC WALK '78; Keep On Truckin '............ . Planning is underway for the eighth annual March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the March of Dimes needs everybody's help to make · METRIC WALK '78 the most usccessful Walk-A-Thon ever. A Walk-A-Thon is a total community effort to help the March of Dimes raise funds to fight birth defects that currently strike _ over · a quarter-million babies born each year in this country. More than 15 million Americans suffer from birth defects. Participants walk a common 20 mile route. This year, the route will be measured in kilometers ( 20 miles equals 32 kilometers ). On Walkathon Day, after first finding as many sponsors as possible to pay them a set amount for each kilometer, they walk. Participants then walk the route, getting their Walk Cards checked at each of the checkpoints on the route, and then collect their pledges from their sponsors, turning the money over to the March of Dimes. The Walkathons are ,an important source of public support for the March of Dimes, and give everyone an opportunity to help in the prevention of birth defects. Metric Walk '78 will be held on Sunday, April 23, 1978, at 8 a.m. , rain or shine, in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, and Clarks Summit. Starting points for each Walkathon are as follows: Scranton, County Court House; Wilkes-Barre, Public Square; Hazleton, School District Stadium; and Clarks Summit; Keystone Junior, College. ; The March of Dimes is looking for "Quality Walkers" of all ages. Quality Walkers are walking to improve the quality of life. Like the March of Dimes, they are serious about doing their part to protect the unborn and the newborn. Who are Quality Walkers? ...

Winning over twice as many awards as the previous total of 30 (a record which stood for over 22 years) is just one of the many accomplishments of this group of talented and dedicated students. The unit has brought national recognition to Wilkes through it.s participation in tournaments throughout the country, and has shown that the College is not to be taken lightly when it comes to forensic ability. Often taken for granted or ignored by the general college populace, the union has been perhaps one of the most prestigious and impressive assets of the College. The fame it has brought to Wilkes and to it.s mem. hers is exceeded only by the dedication and hard work that has made the team the success it has become. We sincerely congratulate Dr. Brad Kinney and his "Kids" on this history-making season and wish them the best in their efforts this weekend. Enio111111enl WHl,in U111ill The Student Government presidential election turned out to be a close, hard-fought, sometimes bitter race, where issues were clouded by some dubious political moves and vague accusations. One point of controversy involved The Beacon's endorsing one candidate for office. We have heard people claim that this move was "illegal" and should not have been made. For the record, it is a policy of The Beacon to publically endorse a SG presidential nominee as part of our responsibility in serving the best interests of Wilkes students. It has been done during all our years at the College, with the exception of 1977, when. only one candi!fate ran for the office. Furthermore, it is entirely within the limits of a newspaper to endorse a political candidate, and we simply claimed that privilege, partly to generate interest in the election, but mainly to support the person we felt would be best able to fill the position. Our choice was based on the written platforms and past performance of each candidate. It was made independently, without regard for personalities, and will be made again next year in the same manner. VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! For the solution to the' biggest mystery on campus since we told you there was a cat on the front cover, tune in next Student Offers Sugg·estion For Harrassment Problem week when TEX and FRITZ are unmasked. Beat the rush- plan your revenge early. To The Editor: In past years, on this campus, there have been incidents in which women dorm students have been harrassed and molested by men from the local area. The solutions previously provided have been partially effective, however, outcries for improved security and student escorts quickly die down after the incidents are forgotten and are only again raised at the next bit of trouble. The more permanent solution lies in the correction of another situation on campus. If one were to look at a map of the school, it would show that all male students are concentrated in a one block area, whereas female dormers are spread throughout the 23-acre campus. Despite what the P.R. brochures say, at night, our "tree-lined" streets are not altogether quiet they are dark, empty and dangerous. If some male dorms were relocated to different parts of the campus, then there would be the usual movement to and from the throughout the campus and turning Pickering Hall co-ed ( by house, room or floor)? I only see two. First, there is a certain amount of difficulty in changing dorms from male to female '( or vice versa) - the men are harder on the dorms than the women. However, I·am sure a long-term change-over plan could be worked out with all the variables considered. The only other reason I can see for not reorganizing the dorm set-up is the reason the dorms were probably set this way in the first place; to keep the Wilkes boys from getting at the Wilkes girls. This idea was noble - at one time, but haven't we reached the point where we must say, "Who are we protecting who from?" Perhaps, we should let the women decide. different dorms. I am not implying that every male student would be able to stop an attack, or that every female student is totally defenseless, but the facts are male dorms have more people coming and going until later hours and their very presence might deter some deviates. In the University of Pennsylvania campus (an Ivy-League school), there were many attacks on women's dorms. Entire dorms would be terrorized by the local hoods, until the Penn administraiton enacted the policy of co-ed housing on certain floors. After this arrangement was established, the next time there was a break-in on a co-ed floor, they had to carry the would-be attackers out on stretchers. Admittedly, Wilkes-Barre has not turned into central Philadelphia, but problems do exist and integration of the sexes may provide a viatle solution.

Some athletes are made of snips, and snails, and puppy dog tails while others are. made of sugar, and spice, and everything nice but both require a special kind of dedication in order to insure success. The 1978 Beacon Athletes of the Year are diametrically op1:>osite in their athletic gifts. Tony Couto eats quarterbacks while Cindy Glawe does imitations of swans. Our panel of 30 resident sports experts resoundingly voted Couto the recipient of the male award. He was Rollie Schmidt's defensive co-captain during this past football season and set a precedent by being ch?sen as the MAC's Most Valuable Player; a rare honor for a defensive player. Operating out of the inside linebacker slot in the 4-4-3 align- . ment, he.led the Colonel:,,in every defensive category from quarterback dinners to fumble desserts. He is going down South next week for a tryout with the Montreal team in the Canadien Football League. While Couto's basic claim to fame deals directly with violence, Cindy Glawe is exquisitely graceful. As a four year member of the Wilkes swimming team, she was a pillar of strength to the program. Operating under the dire~t of cir~ums~nce~, it is simply amazing that the program still exJSts. Swunmmg without a pool gets to be extremely difficult after a while. It is largely to Cindy's credit that there is still a Colonel swim team. The epitome of desire, she came back after a near-disasterous fall to garner the first MAC gold medal in diving in Wilkes College history. The winners this year are rare iri that they have only performed in a single sport during their collegiate careers. In the past the tendency has been to award the multi-sport athletes. . The balloting was extremely close in the female bracket this year. Cindy barely edged out basketball stand?ut J?iane K~~dig for the top honors.while Mary Jo Frail, last years ~er, flillshed a very close third. Karen Olney, .terry Ann Smith, and Joanne Pugliese also received strong support. . It was a very convincing victory for Couto m the male category. He easily out distanced Terry Schoen, second baseman supreme, for the award. John Zapko, the human rebound, placed third while wrestlers Gene Clemons and Danny House and soccerman Mario Apuzzo also finished high. The 28th annual awards will be presented at the Student Awards luncheon on Tuesday, April 25 in the CPA.

The Colonel duffers defeated Scranton and Upsala last Thursday and dropped a tough decision to King's College on Monday afternoon. Wilkes junior Sandy Pensieri made Colonel athletic history, when she became the first woman ever to participate in a Wilkes golf match in the twin-victories over the Royals and Upsala. Sandy, a graduate of Coughlin High School and one of the top cheerleaders on the campus, (right Mike ) scored a 114 in her collegiate debut The Colonels as a team tallied 407, with Scranton in second with 417, and Upsala last with a 439. Taking medalist honors on the par 70, 6170 yard course was Steve Nielsen with a 75. Other top men for Wilkes were : Joe Skladany 80 ; Bryan Hoynak 82 ; Kenny Donlavage 82; Bruce Slavinski 88 ; and Joe Rubbicco 96. The match was played at the Fox Hill Country Club in East Orange, N.J. This past Monday, the Colonels had a rematch with the Monarchs of King's College, which Wilkes had already defeated this season, 395-405. King's came on top this time, 411-405 at the par 72, 6100 yard course at the Irem Temple Country Club. Medalist for the day was Colonel freshman Billy Briggs with a 75. Other top scorers were : Skladany 82; Hoynak 82; Donlavage 85 ; Williams 87; Slavinski 88; and Nielsen 93. Wilkes, after meeting Muhlenberg and Moravian yesterday at the Lehigh Country Club, will meet Susquehanna University on April 24 in an away encounter, before hosting Albright and Juniata on April 28 at the Irem Temple Country Club at 2 :00. E . Team the second half for •the Blue and Gold. Adams, who was outstanding as a freshman, has already hit the net nine times and is credited with six assists to lead the Colonels in points scored with 15. Sophomore Wayne Krum of Boonton, N.J. still leads Wilkes scores with 10 goals, and also has two assists. Krum gained one goal and an assist against FDU and teammate Brian Blesi of Bethage, N.Y. picked up an assist. Another key offensive player was Mark Sanders who won 11 out of 17 face-offs to raise his percentage to 67 out of 90 overall. Sanders, a sophomore of powers were Bucknell, which West Islip, N.Y. is working_ on : handed Wilkes a 9-6 setback last improving last years percentage Wednesday and Madison FDU, . which was 70.

Following their 7-2 loss to Scranton, the team is obviously looking for revenge against the Royals. But that's still a long way off, and two other stumbling blocks stand in the way . mprove, the action take place in the lighted stad~um. · A maneuver which helped the Wilkesmen was rotating of Bruce Davis and Brian Blesi on attack position and also the rotating of John Larkin, Steve Kinback and Pete Maxwell, in place of attackmen on the riding team. Bill Abrams, a sophomore of Maine, N.Y. has been characterized as a "hustler" and has really been picking up the loose ground ball frequently. Abrams, along with Blesi, Sanders and Donachie picked up 25 out of 42 ground balls against the Bisons, which was an important factor in keeping the Wilkesmen in the game. Hobrock played several midfielders and it was beneficial to Wilkes, mainly because of the fine conditioned Davis, Abrams, Sanders, Jim O'Neill and Todd Noll. Senior Greg Wild has scored four goals this season and was a key substitute for Blesi and Davis in both games last week. Wayne Krum and Bill Adams led in scoring at Bucknell with two goals and one assist each. Sophomore Joe Burnett of Vetal, N.Y. recorded his first goal since Dickinson, where he hit the nets twice. C<>-<!aptain Davis scored once and Brian Blesi had two assists. Davis has scored safely in every game so far this season. The Blue and Gold were expected to play Haverford Wednesday, at the Fords home field. It will be another tough one for the Colonels, since the Fords have two players listed in the "Top 10" scoring and "Top 10" assist leaders in the MAC. The Colonel stickmen will be out to avenge an 8-2 loss from a year ·ago. Saturday's encounter should be lighter since Wilkes defeated Muhlenberg 17-1 last season.

They ~re finally reaching the point where they have to be to make a stretch run at that Mideast Regional Tourney berth. Yes, the Wilkes College baseball team is using its powerful (boy, are t~y powerful) offense, and like always, is complimenting that with a great mound staff, looking ahead to get back into that NCAA Division III World Series, which they were a part of two years ago. The veterans, who were there two years ago know what it takes, and are willing to give it all they got. The names of Elefante, Suchoski, Hockenbury, Polaha, Grasley, Hungarter, and Schoen are stinging the ball, while senior hurlers Harcharufka and Kresky are turning away opponents like they were a box office at the World Series, seventh game. The youngsters, who have never been there, but want desperately to be a part of it, are doing their part: Andrewscavage, Marino, Marshall, Brezenski. Pisarcik, Capece, Adams, Kavulich, Borofski, Briel, Korba, McHenry, and Kearney. The coach Gene Domzalski, and his two alert assistants Tony Schwab and Jerry Bavitz are also hungry, waiting for that chance to show the nation that Artillery Park is the home of a champion. The Colon~ls passed its first major test of the semester this past week as they endeavored many, many MAC games, and have come out of the busy · week undefeated with an 11-1 overall mark and a 7-0 slate in MAC competition. Before press time, the latest Wilkes capture was a 21-0 slugging of Division II East Stroudsburg State College, as the Blue and Gold banged out a school record seven home runs. Those hitting the blasts were : Billy Hockenbury, Dave Hungarter, Ken Suchoski (grand slam), Chick Andrewscavage, Ricky Marshall; Phil Marino, and Lou Elefante. Elefante's blast put him in second place on the all-time Wilkes homer list with 16, tied with Mike Supczenski, behind Don McDermott's 19. In that blow-out of East Stroudsburg, Marino, Hockenbury and Hungarter tied another school record with back-to-back-to-back homeruns on three consecutive pitches. The last time that was done was in 1976 at the Regional Tourney, when Steve Leskiw, Elefante, and Suchoski connected for homers. Wilkes, which met Albright College yesterday in an away MAC twin-bill, will travel to mee,t Delaware Valley and Richie Zisk's brother John, on Saturday afternoon for another MAC doubleheader.

Food Committee meeting will be held at 2 p.m. for the rest of the semester since last week's meeting held at night was poorly attended. Greg Wild,. Food Committee chairman, explained there were no students present at the meeting. "We can't do anything unless people give us something to work with, " commented IDC President Tom Bazzini. " If something is going to change around here, we need input." · A question was raised about the Complaint Box which was to put in the cafeteria. It was suppose to be ready this week, according to Joe Marchetti, Housing director. The recent party ban in Pickering Hall (New Men's Dorm) received much discussion. The restrictions were made because of the conditions in New Men's Dorm. Marchetti also explained that there are plans to revise the party policy for the entire campus. Some IDC representatives ' suggested possibie ways to improve in New Men's Dorm. It was also announced at the meeting that if students have any maintenance complaints they should see Roger Jones or any member of IDC's executive council. Room selection for next year will be occurring April 24 and 25 in the dorms. Housing contracts have been sent to all returning dorm students at their home addresses . The contracts and a $50 deposit must be returned by April 24. The deposit is refundable until August 1. Students who are not sure if they will be returning to the dorms should pay the deposit to ensure rooms on campus. Contracts for Summer School Housing are available in the Housing Office. New Men's Dorm will be opened for both male and female students during the summer. The cost is $52 per week which includes a five-day meal plan. , Janine Pokrinchak NOTICE LOST - One Gold Seiko Watch lost anywhere between the Commons and Parrish Hall. ,.

Kirshner received a total of 214 votes over John Senatore who received 187 votes. In what was considered a close race and became one of the most talked about and active campaigns on campus finally ended. Many people felt Senatore led the advantage but the underdog came out on top. Korpusik won the CC presidential contest with 84 votes over Denise Strickland receiving 68 votes. Both candidates ran a low key campaign and the race was termed as " nice and friendly" by Louie DeRobertis, former CC president. Strickland, however, was considered the favorite in the race but again the voters proved otherwise. 401 people voted in the SG presidential race which is copsidered a fair return while 152 voted for a CC candidate. Gary Toczlowski was elected as IDC president hands down. He ran unopposed. The totals for the IDC election were not available to The Beacon at press time. Feelings and opinions over the elections results could not be expressed by the candidates to The Beacon also due· to press time. Jim Edwards ~ 1- Commuter Council decided to back down from co-sponsoring the All-Campus picnic with) the Freshmen and Sophomore classes at the CC meeting Monday afternoon. The picnic, which is to be held Sunday, April 30, from 10 a .m. to 5 p.m. over at Ralston Field, was originally planned by the Council as a clam bake with many other kinds of foods and beverages. The sophomore class, however, decided that because of costs only beer, root beer, and hot dogs would be available. A band is also being looked into to perform all afternoon. Louis DeRobertis, CC president, termed the new plans as "a bit of a let down" and feels the picnic has turned into a "Sub party moved over to Ralston field." Avote was taken by the body as to whether they should contribute to this picnic or not and it was soundly defeated. The council's social events committee will decide the future of their own sponsored picnic sometime . this week once they find out how much money they have to work with. Under other council matters, tickets for the Yankee game bus trip which is for tomorrow are still available. DeRobertis said that any interested student could purchase a ticket up until the bus leaves by contacting any CC member. He also expressed no disappointment if the tickets are not all sold because DeRobertis told the body that he can sell the unsoldf tickets att the door for a 1 :'° t"J'" J r t J t, , I" J. ~ 4 1 ~ ~ f f & <t I profit. The body voted in favor of allocating $45.50 to Tom Brooks in order for him to purchase gifts for the graduating senior members. DeRobertis introduced to the body the new representatives to the body that were elected two weeks ago. All council members were re-elected with Sue Johnson, class of '79 and Lisa Robeck, class of '80, being the two new members. In the report from the Commons committee, John Griffith reported that a stereo may be purchased for the Commons if the committee can receive the money from Student Government to cover the cost. Griffith also reported that the Commons will be offering a different complete meal everyday for those who would prefer that over a cheeseburger. In speaking about the presidential elections, DeRobertis said that the council should learn a lesson from the 56 presidential race between John Senatore and Steve Kirshner which he feels turned into a rat race. DeRobertis stated that all elections should be " nice and friendly" . Jim Edwards On The Cover Spring is in the air, but so is the end of the semester.

And that is exactly what the Scranton University Royals did in the nite-cap of a doubleheader with Wilkes this past Tuesday afternoon at Schautz Stadium in beautiful downtown Dunmore.

The' Royals of Coach Gary Wodder, (You remember him, he was the guy who shouted obscenities over the mike at the King's-Scranton cage game at "Duh U," he's also the athletic director ), tallied two runs in the bottom of the inning, before the umpires called the game. There was definately enough time to play the innings if Scranton had not stalled. But, Wilkes will get another shot at the Royals, when Scranton invades Artillery Park on April 26 for a doubleheader. If anyone happens to go up Route 81 and go near "Duh U " tell 'em on April 26, the Colonels will be awaiten'.

Earlier in the week, Lehigh decisioned the Wilkesmen 10-o, bringing their record to lsl entering the Gettysburg match. Although the Blue and Gold were unable to avenge last year's 9-7 loss, it was an exciting contest and the cold and windy weather didn't scare away the crowd · which lined-up along the sidelines and perched themselves in the football bleachers to. observe the action. Most of the action, however, was in favor of Gettysburg, who set up 48 shots at the goal to Wilkes 29. Needless to say, the Colonel stickmen were forced to play more defense than offense and a few Blue and Gold players excelled in their defensive efforts. Senior co-captain John Lack demonstrated his love for football when he made two "very physical" tackles', thus destroying two adversaries. Freshman goalie Dave Singer collected 25 saves to raise his three-game total to 47. Junior Andy Dutch got back into action in the fourth quarter, after being sidelined for more than one week and will add depth to the Colonel goalkeepers·. Mark Sanders,sophomore from West Islip, N.Y. continued to show prowess from the mid-field by winning 17 out of 23 face-offs for the Colonels. Sanders, who wo·n All-Conference in high school, recorded over 70 percent of Wilkes face-offs last season and appears to be headed for AllConference honors at the Collegiate level. Also looking impressive in the mid-field was Todd Noll, who scored on a pass play from Joe Burnett Saturday. Team co-captain Bruce Davis was the first Colonel to hit the nets Saturday finding the range early in the third quarter. Davis is also bidding for All Conference honors and is tied for the team's third leading scorer with senior Greg Wild, at four. Sophomore Wayne Krwn of Boonton, N.J. leads all Wilkes scorers with 7, but the Gettysburg team managed to keep the Colonel stickman scoreless Saturday. Second in the scoring ranks is sophomore Bill Adams with five. Wilkes found themselves at a 10 deficit after the first quarter, but the visitors pulled away by respective advantages of 4-0, 5-1 and 3-1 in the following periods. Penaltie.s certainly didn't help either, as the Wilkesmen were punished 15 times for over 12 minutes and Gettysburg had 10 for nine minutes. Unlike Saturday when the Blue and Gold only allo"'ed the opponent to score one goal in the Netmen O.f Rokita· Staying Above .500 The Colonel tennis team had a busy week winning two matche,s and dropping one to even its season record at 2-2. The Blue and Gold of Coach Rokiqi won easily over Moravian 8-1, lost a squeaker to Ursinus 5-4, and defeated the Monarchs of King's College, 6-3. The victory over Moravian was sweet for two reasons. First of all, it broke the Colonels into the win colwnn this year after they dropped their opener to Juniata. Secondly, it was a win on the road and, as is the case in any sport, you must win away matches to have a successful year. Mike Hromchak was sharp winning his match easily, 6-3, 6-4. Stan Manoski ancf Terry Collins also had an easy time with their Moravian counterparts winning their doubles match by a lopsided 6-1, 6-1. The thrill of victory didn't last too long though, as Ursinus College travelled to the Ralston Field courts and proved that they too can win on the road. When the match was over, Wilkes had put up a good battle but had fallen short in the final outcome. On Monday, the team took the courts determined to even their record at .500 at tfie expense of King's College. They were not to be denied and blasted their way to a 6-3 win. This match could easily have been a !41 shutout as the team lost . three heartbreaking . . Baran, Terry Collins, and Bill Murtagh all won singles matches while the duos of Baran and Murtagh and Collins and Manoski won in doubles. For the second time in the week the team of Collins and Manoski had an easy match in doubles. This time, they defeated Bill Burke and Mike Metroka of King's in straight sets, 6-0; 6-0. The matches the Colohels' lost were about as close as they possibly could be. Mike Hromchak lost two tie breakers and the match, 7-6, 7-6. In doubles, Hromchak and Clieplik lost by a close 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 score. Coach Rokita was well pleased with the total effort although some small mistakes still bothered him. With two wins in the last threematches,though, he isn't complaining. The team faces some stiff competition this week in the form of the Royals of the University of Scranton. That match will be played at Scranton. After that, the next opponent for the Wilkes Tennis squad will be Susquehanna University. This team is young and exciting, and if you like to watch good sports action drop by at the courts and show the team that the campus is behind them. They give a lot to the game, and deserve some fan support in return. Dave Jolley DOWNTOWN, W.B. ,ill 113 S. MAIN ST. MON. & THURS. 10AM - 9PM DAILY 10AM - 5 :30 PM s ' .

If Donachie continues his defensive performance he will probably capture another first team All-Conference ·selection. The Lacrossemen· were expected to play Bucknell Wednesday at 7: 30 under the lights at Lewisburg. The fact that they play under the lights is an indication of their capabilities and the Colonels will have their work cut out for them. Last year the Bisons handed the Colonels a 17-9 setback before the hometown crowd. Saturday's April 15 match-up with Madison FDU will also be a tough one for the Colonels, · but maybe the home field advantage will be a psychological lift.

(They played Baptist Bible· last night, but results were not available before press time.) · The Colonelettes fell to King"s in the season opener despite outscoring their opponents. In a best-out-of-five game match, Wilkes scored 65 points to King's 51, but couldn't distfibute them evenly. as they dropped three games. Scores were 13-15. 15-7. 15-3. 11-15, and 13-15. Freshman Cindy Rossi tallied 16 points on serves, with two aces, while freshman Amy Gordon accounted for 13 points and one ace. The Blue.and Gold also completed more serves than did King"s. 108 to 103. Captains Sally Steele and Karen Polomski had 22 saves between them, and sophomore Mary Kay Price proved to be an excellent spiker while also "dinking" the ball successfully.

Tuesday the Colonelettes tried a new defensive cover against Scranton University, but couldn't make it work well enough to prevent the Royals from ·taking the match in three games, 15-3, 15-12, and 15-3. Inexperience and some unfamiliarity with the defensive play may have been the sources of the trouble, along with poor bloc!cing at the net. Scranton, a good basic volleyball team, was able to take advantage of the Blue and Gold's mistakes. Sally Steele did come through with one of her best games, however, the serving improved since the second game, and the players appeared to recover well defensively. The JV team, the only full team in this area , is also coming along, propelled by such players as Debbie Ryan, Barb Shaffer, Terri Roof, Marilyn Barbieri and Nina Nubani.

The President added, "We have taken a close hard look at our budget in an effort to hold down expenses, but certain costs must be met to offer a quality education at the college." · We are working very closely with our Financial Aid Office to provide students · and parents with a listing of all scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment programs which are available to them and which hopefully will enable students to meet the increased costs,'' Capin said. Currently, 80 percent of Wilkes students receive aid in various forms, amounting to over $3. 7 million. This amount includes $500,00 awarded annually by the College itself to augment the financial aid packages of 780 students. Parking Coupons Will Be Sold For Ten Dollars CC.SG Presidential Elections Tues. Women Rllnning For CC Presidenc In nominations for next year's Commuter Council President, Denise Strickland and Stella Korpusik were both nominated at Monday afternoon's CC meeting. The election is this Tuesday, April 11 in the Commons from 111. Speaking with Ure candidate/3 after the meeting, they both offered various ideas and criticisms. Korpusik, a fine arts major from Wilkes-Barre, has been on Commuter Council for one year and is currently corresponding secretary. She cited her plans by saying "my main interest is to work for the student". She would like to continue where current president Louie DeRobertis, has left off because she feels this year has been "very productive". Next year's council budget has been made to allow for the four Holiday parties; Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day to be held off campus. When asked to comment, she said that it is definitely more expensive to hold the parties off campus and added "you can have fun with the parties on campus if the students decided and participated more." The Halloween party which was held on campus was not a success because of this reason. "We have achieved a lot and I think he ( DeRobertis) was good as far as getting things done and keeping the council together." were her comments on this year's council. She stressed that the unity of.the council and enjoying working together were important and sbe hope that if she was elected that the same thing will happen next year. "Students should not fall second to what the administration wants, students should be first" says Korpusik. Stella Korpusick Denise Strickland Besides being involved in CC, she is a member of the Human Service Committee, First Aid Team, Krate Club, TDR soroity, Cue 'n' Curtain, which she is secretary of, and is active with the Theater program here at the college. Denise Strickland, a biology major froni Plymouth, has been on the council for three years and Continued on P. 5 Senatore, Kirshner To Vie For SG Office John Senatore and Steve Kirschner were nominated for Student Government president for the academic year of 1978-79 at Monday night's SG meeting. Dave Blumefield, a class of 80 representative, was also nominated but because he was elected to SG as a replacement and has not yet served a full term, he could not run. . Before nominations were open Carl Holsberger, SG president and Dean Edward Baltinchitus, both described the responsibilities of the job explaining that there are many weekly meetings to attend along with putting up with the faculty , administration, and students. Holsberger said "it is more than just running a meeting. " A debate between the two candidates will be held Sunday in the SUB at 7:30 p.m. All interested students are urged to attend. Election for the presidency will be held Tuesday from 11-1 in the Commons and from 4: 30 to 6: 30 in the cafeteria. (For candidate platforms see separate story). Toczylowski Running Nominations for next year's officers were held at Sunday's . IDC meeting. With the exception of Treasurer, one person was nominated for each position. Gary Toczylowski, this year's vice-president, is the sole candidate for president. Toczylowski is a junior envirnmental science major from Scranton. · He is currently an RA in Slocum Hall. The Vice-president nominee is Michael Sibilia. Donna Whitmore is running unopposed for Recording Secretary while Monica Krammer is running for Corre- sponding Secretary. The two candidates for Treasurer are Diane Brodbeck and Denise Ewald. IDC elections will be held on Tuesday, April 11 along with the SG and CC elections. IDC ballots will be available at the same hours and places as the other elections. The academic calendar for the 1978-79 school year was announced at IDC. The IDC representatives voted unanimously in favor of sponsoring a representative for one dollar Steve Kirshner John Senatore The fee for a coupon book of tickets at Park and Lock has been changed for the third time by the Wilkes-Barre City Parking Authority, this time back to $10-at least for the remainder of this school year. The Authority decided in January to allow Wilkes students to purchase a book of tickets for $10 rather than pay for a monthly $12 sticker. The following month it reversed its decision on the price and raised it to $12. Commuter Council, represented by Louis DeRobertis and Diane Marcinko, returned to the Authority to request that the fee be changed back to $10. · Next year, it is expected that the coupon book will be offered for $12 and a $15 sticker will also be sold. A problem that resulted from the purchase of coupons reportedly was that students did not understand that the book must be purchased at the beginning of the month, although the tickets could be used until the end of the school year. Coupons also must be handed in to a parking attendent each time the student leaves the facility, while greaterfreedom was possible with the sticker. According to a local newspaper story, the Parking Authority will permit coupon books to be sold for $10 until June 1. However, few students are expected to purchase books for May since classes end in mid-month. Commuter Council was allowed to sell books for April up until yesterday, but reportedly was planning to purchase a few extra books to accomodate students who failed to buy the coupons on time. Wilma Hurst On The Cover When asked to personally endorse a candidate for next year's office, Holsberger said "The fac;ts will speak for themselves, the person who has shown the most responsibility and most leadership should be elected. I endorse the person who has shown the most responsibility.' He did make a comment Continued on P. 2 You probably think that's a picture of two ducks on the frant cover, right?

Junior Biology S.G. Representative, 2 years Co-Chairman of Social Committee, 1 year SUB representative, 1 year Platform : I. Communication gap between students and S.G. A. As representatives of the student body it is our responsibility to see that the interests of the students are expressed to the administration and vice versa. There is a communication gap. The gap exsists between the stude~ts and their. gover~ment. ( Student Government) Here are some ideas to abridge this gap : 1. Meetings with club and class officers to be held with selected S.G. representatives twice a month. 2. Presidents' news letter - to inform students of current S.G. events. 3. Greater publicity of S.G. meetings being open to the public. II. Functioning Problems of S.G. A. Proper allocations of funds to organization and clubs have always been a problem within the student government body. We often make the mistake of granting large sums of money to many organizations early in the academic year, leaving a small amount of money (for organizations and special events) at the end of the year. Ways to avoid this problem : 1. Revised funding reports 2. Strick tabs on funding. ( How much is given for academic requests or social, etc.) B. Many problems are due to inadequate enforcement of the constitution. 1. Enforcing the dutes of the standing committees as written in the Student Government Constitution have been neglected. These .duties must be enforced for proper organization and vunction of each committee. · III . Expansion of Student Governments involvement with the administration. 1. Reviewing policies - such as the party policy or visitati(!n policy. . 2. More say on tuition and room and board mcreases. ~ I\ S ~~~:r~:~ :/· MON _& THURS. 10AM · 9PM DAILY 10AM · S:30 PM I ROLL STARS / PIXS - TV STARS ETC.

It is disappointing to know that so little interest exists that a person can run unopposed for such an important position on campus. This unfortunately is not an unusual situation, as can be seen from last year's SG election. This is in no way a criticism of Mr. Toczylowski, the lone candidate, for we consider him to be an excellent choice for the posl But we would have preferred to see him win the office, for that would have made his " victory" more meaningful to him and the student body.

The two candidates have also expressed dismay over the funding crisis SG has created by allocating too much money early in the year. This is indeed a problem which must be resolved. A review of current school policies, such as the party and visitation privileges, is also an item on both platforms. However, we feel that Kirshner has shown more insight ~hen discussing the potelltial of SG and is more realistic in his goals. He has advocated more new ideas in specific terms in addition to proposing that existing procedures be applied more stringently.

I had arrived 45 minute.s early to the Vincent Price lecture and the place was already packed. After fighting my way through the crowd, I was able to secure a comfortable seat in the aisle and enjoyed the rest of the lecture with knees up to chin. Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky with the Mel Blanc lecture, where I couldn't fit in the back of the packed lecture hall. There has to be a ~tter way. Is it nos possible to hold the lectures in the gym? I realize that there are sporting events, but schedules are arranged far enough in advance so that , something could be worked out. Besides, which event has the greater demand and attendance. The organizers of the lecture series (whoever they may be ) should have realized after the Vincent Price lecture, that attendance for the Mel Blanc presentation would probably be just as great and should have made arrangements for the use of the gym. I am aware that past lectures in the gym were poorly attended ; in particular the Pearl Bailey lecture, but that case differs in that Bailey may not have had universal appeal (not something to bring the kids to) and it didn't have the advertising the two recent lectures did.

They stormed the country music business with a revolution of new sounds. They were called "The Outlaws." Michael Bane's book "The Outlaws" tells the whole story, from idea to action. It's the "diary" of the rising of such wellknowns as Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, "Cowboy" Jack Clement and Waylon Jennings.

We have to admit though, things have been slow lately. We've been hearing various complaints on the content of the article. It seems that what you, scooper really want are juicy, red-hot scoops. In other words, you want the hard core dirt. Well, there's nothing we woulq like more. You asked for it, you got it ! Before we start with the scoops - here's a hot letter ! Dear Tex and Fritz: . As one of your weekly admirers, I along with the rest of your readers, wish you would come out and reveal yourselves. Too many rumors about who you are, are starting to circulate. I would hate to see innocent people take the blame for your scoops. Yours faithfully, The Curious Scooper P.S. D.O.T. wouldn't mean Donahues on Thursday, would it? Dear Curious (By the way the name fits) : Well, we finally are forced to reveal our deep, dark secret. No, sit back down Curious, we're not revealing our names. It just so happens that we've been run out of town too many times before and our probation officer .informed us that one more time, we will be exiled. You see, our last scooping fiasco was with Tillie Hornswagger and the Akron, Ohio connection, who are now serving 95 years in a boring, scoopless town in South Dakota. Need we say more ! We could not live without scoops. So, you see, it is for our sanity that we cannot reveal our identity. Furthermore, if people are taking blame for our scoops, they aren't too innocent, are they? Yours in Scooping, Tex and Fritz P.S. D.O.T. does, of course, mean Donahues on Thursday! Congratulations. We scooped out you, Curious Scoop. You wouldn't happen to be Frank "Duke" Scancarella, would you? There's your prize - We knew you'd feel eight inches taller just seeing your name in print ! Now for the dirt ! Guess what time it is? Yes , you guessed it, it's dinner-dance time. This year General and Kevin - those funky Slocum guys - will be offering disco lessons in conjunction with Arthur Murray Studios. "It's aU in the knees ," says Kevin. " No, it's all in the shoulders," says General. Well, whether it's the shoulders or the knees, the boys will have you discoing in no time. Burn - Baby Burn! Another Dinner-Dance Hot Line Do you feel a compulsion to attend this bash? Do you get dagger-looks from your friends, cause "You're not going?" Well, take care and relax! Maureen "Fox" Falvey is running a datemate dinner-dance escort service right out of Sturdevant Hall. The · Fox has a complete list of all the eligible men on campus. Now this just isn't any list. She'll tell you - how they dance, whether they maul you after the dance, what kind of suit, whether they buy flowers and what kind of toothpaste they use. The list is valid ( we scooped it out) and we recommend taking advantage of it. Good job, Fox.

Franklin St. Joining the Colonels of Rodger Bearde in the icebreaking initial tourney will be hartwick, one of the top Division II teams in the country ; Slippery Rock, a topnotch Division III national powerhouse ; and Philadelphia Pharmacy ; a winning Division III club. Many Eastern teams showed an interest in competing in the ~lassie and the committee had a difficult time in narrowing the field to ~ee tea~s. Some of the schools that showed interest inelude: King's Pomt, Kutztown, Oneonta State, Hiram College, Marist College, Wesleyan University, Haverford, Mt. St. Mary's, St. Peters, Cheyney State, Merrimack, American Internationl}l, and Wooster, Ohio. Members of the tournament committee include: George Pawlush, chairman and Wilkes PR Director ; Art Hoover, Wilkes Director of Alumni Relations; Eddie White, Sr. , former WilkesBarre Barons founder and coach; Eddie White III , Wilkes sports information assistant; Gene Domzalski, Colonel baseball coach ; Bernie Vinovrski, associate dean of Wilkes admissions ; and Colonel head basketball coach, Rodger Bearde. The development of a Christmas Tournament on the Colonel campus should significantly help the Wilkes basketball program because it will prevent the dreaded semester layoff for the cagers.

J ust Good Colonel Baseball And 'mid the tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war. -S.T. Coleridge, Kubla Khan What the Allentown College baseballers heard and experienced last Saturday afternoon at Artillery Park was not ancestral voices and war, or even the dusty old guns surrounding the field. It was a powerful cry from a group of athletes , out to prove that last year's early dismissal from the NCAA Regional P layoffs was a fluke, a parody, a farce. The Blue and Gold diamondmen bombarded Allentown pitching for 34 hits , 41 rbi's, and 45 runs in the twinbill, which Wilkes captured, 23-8 and 22-1, to open its 1978 baseball season. (Remember, like Al McGuire said, "You always open your season with Cupcake University.) The Colonels hit everything Allentown threw at them, and that made the Allentown mentor , a look-alike for Casey Stengel, uniform and all, ask for a reprieve, and the second game was stopped after five innings, after Wilkes had already tallied 22 runs in four frames . Enroute to the twin bill~weep, Wilkes tallied a run or more in every inning. Leading batting standouts for Wilkes were: fresh ma n Chick Andrewscavage , veteran Dave Hungarter, newcomer Israel "Izzy" Ortiz, and second-year man Bob Brezenski. Andrewscavage might just be the Colonels' answer to fill the offensive hole left by the graduation of Don McDermott. The burly freshman from P ittston Area was four for five in the two games with three runs scored and five rbi's. On the first pitch to him of his career as a batter, he hit a screaming two-rbi double to left center to tie the score in the first inning at 3-3. Late in the nite-cap, he sent the first pitch to him over the left field fence right on the foul line. The umpire made a controversial call and called the ball foul. After looking at a low strike, Chick hammered the Allentown offering over the left center fjeld fence for a 430-foot homerun, which might still be going. Andrewscavage started both games at designated hitter and might have found a home there, with everybody's favorite ball player, Lou "Reggie" E lefante now out in (yep, you guessed it ) right field . Hungarter, the third baseman from Meyers, was fou r for seven to lead the " regulars." He scored three runs , added five rbi's and slammed a triple and a homer. Coming off the bench to spark the Blue and Gold with a combined six for six, seven runs scored, and 11 rbi's were subs Ortiz and Brezenski. Izzy's first at bat as a Wilkesman went for a round-tripper, and Brezenski, the pride of Mt. Car mel, also added a "Balentine Blast. " The Colonels, as a team belted seven home runs on the day. In addition to those mentioned above, Rich Borofski, J im Kearney, and Terry Shoen added homers. Coach Domzalski used his lineup freely on Saturday as everybody but Mike Aed and Art Hoover played. The pitchers all saw action, with seniors Andy Kresky and Barry Harcharufka picking up the wins. Recording saves were George Kavulich and freshman standout Randy "Big Mac" McHenry.
