Debate Union Brings Home 3rd Place The Wilkes Debate Union has once again brought home honors. This past weekend the combined Debate - Forensic Units of the Debate Union, under the direction of Dr. Bradford L. Kinney traveled to Dickinson College for competition. The members of " Kinney Kids" proved that they can meet any level of competition and win. The Dickinson Invitational Tournament saw 11 senior colleges and universities get together for two days of competition. Wilkes finished in third place behind Princeton and the University of Virginia. Both schools have well-established and funded programs. Wilkes was not satisfied with this victory and won five more. Davida Roberts was a finalist in three of the Forensic competitions. Roberts won second place in Expository Rhetoric, second in Mixed Oral Interpretation of Literature and fifth place in Informative Speaking. In addition, David Evans captured a third place finish in Persuasive Oratory and a fifth place in Informative Speaking. The Debate Squad soundly beat the Dickinson College Debate Team.

Salmonellosis Claims Total Of Eighteen Eighteen cases of salmonellosis (commonly referred to as Salmonella) have been confirmed at the College since outbreaks of the illness first were reported last month. According to Dean Jane Lampe, the infirmary is "continuing to see students with evidence of gastro-intestional distress." In addition, tests are still being conducted by the Board of Health and the College is still waiting for word on other samples not yet returned. Also, . the investigation as to t he possible source of the bacterium is continuing, and the latest word from M.W.Wood, the College's food service, is that as of March 4, "all food history studies, all the hundreds of food samplings and the on site inspections have given no clue to t he cause." This was revealed in a let, continued on p. 2 --------so--------~ Activity Fee May Be Raised Student Goverment voted in favor of raising the student activity fee by five dollars to thirty dollars a year. This was done after the executive council presented to the body a report of the requests from student organizations for next year. Since most requests were considerably higher over last year's grants, it was generally agreed that a higher activity fee was needed. After some discussion, a vote was taken with 20 voting in favor and two opposed. A second motion was made by Jack Mundy to raise the fee another five dollars to $35. Mundy argued that with more money, Student Goverment and other student organizations could benefit the students even more. Larry Assilita, SG vice-president, pointed out that to raise the fee to . KENNEDY'S CHILDREN -The Cue 'n' Curtain in connection wiin the Theater Department will present Robert Patrick's play . "Kennedy's Children" this weekend, March 10 through 12 in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The play takes place in the 1970s in a bar named "Phoebe's." The plot deals with the effect of the 1960s and the Kennedy Era on the six members of the cast. The.characters rely on monologues to reveal their thoughts to the audience. These characters are everyday people who were influenced by the events occurring in the 1960s. The audience will be included as part of the play by being seated at tables and chairs placed on the stage. Randy Smith, a Wilkes graduate, is director of the play with scenery designs by Leo Gambaco,ta, another Wilkes graduate. Reservations are required since ther will be limited seating at each performance. Times for the performances are 8 p.m. tonight ; 8:30 p;m. tomorrow and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Students are allowed one free ticket per Wilkes ID. Additional tickets may be purchased at a price of one dollar. · Shown at rehearsal are the members of the cast: Lynn 8are, Cindy Morrell, Paul Gallagher and seated at the bar: John Forte, Carl Edwards and Adele Ann Tavella. Parking Ticket Book · To Cost $2 Extra I t was announced earlier this semester that a new parking sticker system would be initiated for commuters. The new plan was to have suppli~ a book of 20 tickets at a cost of 10 dollars per book. The tickets could be used on any car at any time, making it easier for commuter to form carpools, in addition to being cheaper than the old system. This new system has since gone into effect, but the price is 12 dollars per book. Louis DeRobertis, Commuter Council president, said that he does not understand why the price was changed, especially since the offer the Parking Authority made at its meeting was 10 dollars and t hat the local newspapers also reported that t he cost would be 10 dollars. He said that he was not aware of the problem until after the beginning of this month and he is not sure if the Parking Authority has had its meeting for this month. Therefore, he will try to find an explanation for the" mixup" as he called it at next month's meetinl!'. Louis Czachor $35 a year, one must demonstrate the need to do so. The $30 fee could sufficiently meet all the recommended grants to the various student organizations. A vote was taken in which 10 were in favor, 11 opposed with one abstention. The vote by SG to raise the activity fee by five dollars must be approved by the finance committee but this is usually the case. The activity fee has not been raised since 1971. At next week's meeting the body will approve of the recommended grants to the various student organizations . . In other business, SG handled quite a few large fund requests. These came after Frank Scancerella, SG treasurer, reported that there, is only $3,102 left to spend by SG. Expenses for the Cherry Bloss um Week end, the Teacher Evaluation Forms booklets, and a possible concert subsidy if there is a concert have already been taken out. The fund requests went as follows: 1) Commuter Council requested $500 to keep the ticket price of the St. Patrick's Day party at $5 because of skyrocketing food costs. It was granted with a 16 to 7 vote. 2)Music Educators National Convention (MENC) requested $1,312 for 25 people to attend the convention in Chicago. This money would only pay for thier train fare. This was defeated. A motion was then made to grant them $875 but this was also defeated. A t hird motion was made to grant them $425. The vote ended in a tie; 11-11 with one abstention. Carl H olsberger, SG president, voted in favor to break the tie. 3)Circle K requested $400 to help pay for their expenses when t hey attend a convention in Valley Forge. They were granted $200. 4)TDR sorority requested $200 to help pay for their senior farewell p.rty and new member initiation. This was granted by a vote of 19-3. In committee reports, Dave Evans, academic committee chairman, reported that letters are being written to .department chairman to find out what teachers taught the courses that were listed as "staff' on the evaluation forms. He also discussed the fact that the committee is working on this semester's evalua tion with the necessary changes trying to be worked out.

The P arking Au t hority of Wilkes-Ba r re ap p roved CC ' s proposal to switch from a nontransferrable mont hly parking sticker to daily coupons in J anuary. This was done so t he commuter could be able to form car pools much more easily. The new system was also designed to be less expensive than the monthly stickers and CC had the impression that when the policy was approved so was the price. CC proposed to sell a booklet of m coupons at ten dollars and, therefore, a 50 cents per day rate. However, now t hat the policy is in effect, the booklet of 20 costs 12 dollars. This makes the new system more expensive t han the monthly stickers. No one on t he Council knows exactly why t he price is 12 dollars a llooklet and not 10 dollars as proposed and accepted. It is also conceivable - t hat a student may run out of coupons before t he month is over and not be able to obtain new coupons because t he booklets will only be sold at t he beginning of each m()nth. Louis DeRobertis, CC president, g av e li ttle reac tion over t he w-hole situa tion after being the chief supporter of t he new plan. He told t he council that t hey are checking in!o it a_nd will set up a nother meetmg with the P arking Aut hority. " They made a simple thing hard" was one of the on ly comm ent s DeRobertis made. In other business, it was reported that the price per ticket for t ~e St. Patrick's Day P arty is 5 dollars. T he reasons for this high price are skyrocketing food costs and an unexpected cover charge from Gus Genetti's, where the party is being held. The ba nd " P hoenix" will perform and the menu includes swedish meatballs, ham and chicken for tonight's Lrish gig. DeRobertis reported that 10 tickets have already been sold for the Yankees baseball game bus trip to be held Saturd ay, April 15. Tickets may be p_urchased in the Commons dunng lunch hours daily from now un til the game. Just before t he meeting was ad jou r n ed one r epres entative expressed a complaint over t he recent Concert and Lecture Series presentation by Vincent Price. " I was really annoyed because I had to leave. It is just not fair to t he students since part of their tuition is paying for it," said Sue Fischer. S he feels t he s tudents should have some precedence to even ts lik e t hi s ov er t he com muni ty. T he presen_tation was held in the CP A and it was estimated t ha t as many people were forced to leave as those that remained to see t he show. Jim Edwards I a ' EXHIB IT OPENS - Uavid L.

WALTER MATTHAU ~ • TATUM 1 O'NEAL Student Expounds On Topic Of Teachers' Finer Traits Here at Wilkes we are blessed with so me trul y ...wonderful teac hers . Any institution of learning would be proud to boast of a teaching staff t he likes of whic h practices t hat nobl e profession at our humble little school. Can teacher-evaluation forms tell the whole story? No, most assuredly, they cannot. I know I ,'.'peak for the entire student body vhen I say that I feel a need to :-iJJ more. We students, all of us, would like to point out some of the finer qualities of some of our favori te teachers.

However, there is much more to this story and this girl which the sports page neglected.

It all started for Cindy back at Meyers High School where she had been a member of the swim team and decided to compete in diving. She was only required to do six dives as compared to the 11 she needs for college competition. There was no diving coach to help Cindy or the other team diver but according to Cindy "We just learned them by teaching each other." She dove competitively for her team her junior and senior years. Then Cindy came to Wilkes and naturally joined the swim team. Again t here was no diving coach FOUR-LEAi' CLOVERS .. . but t he other two divers on the team, Joe Aba te and Paul Above is Cindy Glawe, MAC diving champ, standing next to a Niedzwiecki, taught her the five diving board that she practiced on, fought with, concentrated on, optional dives needed for coland won on. legiate competition.

Now that her diving career is over, Cindy has a lot of great memories about diving and the swim team. According to Cindy "The best parts were the trips down and back to away swim meets because it gave everyone a chance to be themselves." (Only members of the swim team will know what that means.) Her life doesn't end on the board, however. The nursing major from Indian Lake is also an avid skier. She recently won a bronze medal in Nastar competition out in Michigan and is an active member of the Polar Bear club on campus. Just recently named to "Who's Who", Cindy is the resident assistant of Chapman Hall. She also ~eived the "Hit The Chick" award from the Inter-Dormitory Council for breaking up a fight at the fall Block oarty. She is a unique person and things seem to fall right into place for her. One week last fall stands out in mind particularly. On Thursday, Sept. 29, she became engaged. On Saturday, Oct. 1, she turned 21 and naturally celebrated both occasions. To top it off, on Sunday, Oct. 2, it was announced that she was nominated for Homecoming Queen. Cindy will be graduating in the spring, getting married in the fall, and hopefully working as a nurse in Michigan next year. With her fantastic personality, super smile, and t he smart head on her shoulders, she'll go far. When asked if she regrets anything, she said "When I graduate I'll miss this place but while I was here I took advantage of it, and enjoyed it." Jim Edwards NOTICE Tryouts for the upcoming production of Anton Chekov's one-act comedy, "The Boor" will be held in the lounge of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, March 27 at 7 p.m. The show is scheduled for April 25 in the CPA.

In the Division 4 semi-final, the Worms (Joe Wilkes 12 points), took highly-favored Stars and Bars into overtime before dropping a tough one, 40-39. Big John Edwards was the key man for S & B with eight second half points, including two free throws at the end of the overtime period to win it. A major blow was dealt to S & B title hopes, earlier this week when it was learned that their leading rebounder and statistician, Chris the Flake Drake, had suffered a broken leg and will be lost (as usual) for the rest of the year. In the other Division 4 semifinal, Sofia's Bar and Grill lit up the Residual Bongers with a nine point spurt in the last two minutes to pull out a shakey 4435 win. Mark Clifford made the most noise ' for Sofia's, scoring 16 points, while George Carey was the highest Bonger with 12. Sofia's will now meet Stars and Bars in a · much awaited rematch to determine who will represent Division 4 in playoff action. In some other first round contests, the M.P.'s (Chip Pufko. 22 points, 4 fouls, 1 black eye) needed a desperation tap-in at the buzzer by Rich Karo to nip Sleezy AMF, 57-56. Joe Rauschmayer (14 pts.) and Irwin Izen (20 points) keyed the Sleazy second half comeback, which saw Joe sink two clutch free throws with : 06 left in regulation to go ahead, 56-55. M. P. Lenny Vekkos then tossed out a 30 footer that missed, but Karo was in the right spot at the right time to avoid the upset. The M. P.'s wll now square off with the Bombers, who advanced via a 6554 win over lntervarsity, (Joe Torre, 25 points). Mike Briel led the balanced Bomber attack with 15 points. Elsewhere, the Buckaroo's (Bobby Thompson, 14 pts.) downed the Old York Inn of Somerville, N.J., 56-38 . The Harriers, led by Don Patrick's 24 points, cut off the Chickenhawks (Rick Leandri, 22) 64-52, and PREP H, despite a 47 point performance by Bill Snakely Gore, won a tight one, 72-49. Don Prescavage led his club with five fouls.

Martet St, Wilkes-Barre -,. t - �Lacrosse And Baseball Teams Head South Diamondmen Head For Virginia To Slim Down Suncoast Invitational Tests Colonel Stickmen Baseball Coach Gene Domzalski's Blue and Gold diamondmen are getting ready for their "Close Encounters of the Southern Kind." Wilkes will go sonth during the Easter Break in hopes of getting some much "'1eeded practice out-of-doors. The Colonels will play six games on the road trip, five in Virginia and one in North Carolina. Coach Domzalski reports that 48 players are out for this year's squad and only 23 will be making the trip sout h. The 48 athletes have been working out in t he Wiikes Gym for t hree hours everyday, while work is being done on Artillery Park. The team will meet Eastern Mennonite College on Thursday, March 16 in Virginia. Following that contest, they will . play a doubleheader with Lynchburg Baptist Bible College on Friday. Wilkes will go to the land of the Tar Heels and Wolfpack on Monday to meet Campbell College in a single game. They will close the southern swing with a DH against Richmond Univ:ersity on Wednesday in Virginia. The Colonel menotr, building a reputation for himself as one of the top Division III baseball coaches in the country, said the trip will mostly be a "learning experience" for the younger players and a "refresher" for the veterans. He also mentioned that the sole purpose of the trip is not to come back without a Joss (which would not be too bad), but to get good competition and work hard. He also said that everyone <vho goes south will play, and the most t he pitchers will throw a game is three innings. Domzalski, along with assistants Jerry Bavitz and Tony Schwab, and the three senior co-captains will decide which players make the trip. "it is going to be a tough choice, we have so many fine ball-players," added Domzalski.He also stated that he is looking for the best athletes available to do the job this year for Wilkes. According to Domzalski no positions are set, but first base and centerfield are the two most wide-open spots. He hopes that the trip south will help him and his coaching staff get a set line-up in time for the April 1 season-opener [Allentown Coll~e at 1 p.m. at Artillery Park in a doubleheader]. Pitching 1s also a big question for Wilkes, as the team lost Jim Stehle (6-1) and Manny Evans (6-1) from last year's 20-4 team. Four lettermen pitchers form last year's team will be counted on heavily this year: Andy Kresky; Barry Harcharufka; Danny Pisarcik; and Carl DeFelice. The captains for the upcoming year are Bill Hockenbury ss, Lou Elefante dh, and Kenny Suchoski catcher. Second base and third base were nailed down by Terry Schoen and Dave Hungarter last season, and someone will have to fill Don McDermott's v:lcancy at first. Wilkes returns its left and right fielders in Billy P olaha and Steve Grasley. Centerfield is also open due to the departure of Mike Supczenski. Wilkes will try to get everything straightened out during the trip . south, and hopefully come back north with a line-up and bench ready to rip through the Middle Atlantic Conference. Eddie White III If anyone has passed by Ralston Field recently and wondered if Wilkes has opened an ice-skating rink, DON'T WORRY! Its the Wilkes College lacrosse team getting an early start on the season under newly-appointed head coach Jon Hobrock. The Colonel stickmen have been practicing on the field since they convinced t he maintainence crew to plow the snow from it two weeks ago. The Blue a nd Gold stickmen will depart " beautiful N.E. Penna." during the spring break and head south to Florida for their annual sout hern swing in preparation for the upcoming season. Coach Hobrock and the ColQnels are anxious to get started and the overall season outlook is optomistic, as the Wilkesmen will try to improve last year's 4-6 slate. Hobrock is not a first-year coach by any means, as he coached in the college ranks for 18 years and enters his tenth season at Wilkes. Coach Hobrock attended Kenyon College, where he achieved AllConference and all-midwest status, and was also one of the school's all-time leading scorers. The past two season's he has served as an assistant to Notre Dame grad Chuck Mattei and his career coaching record is a respectable 12-6. The 1978 edition of the lacrosse team returns many fine performers, including four seniors, four juniors, and five sophomores. John Lack, a senior from Saugerties, N.Y. and Bruce Davis, a senior from Boonton, N.J. will co-captain the 1978 stickmen. " Lack is a natural-born leader and also captained the football team and his strength and quickness enables him to be a top defensive player, " said Hobrock. Davis, an excellent midfielder will try to regain his strength after an injury last season. Davis was a high school All-American and has been selected to the collegiate All-Conference team three times. Coach Hobrock comments, "Bruce has a quick release and his strong shooting capabilities which should allow him to gain his fourth honor." Davis averages three goals a game for Wilkes in his career. Senior Bill Abrams, a mid-fielder, and Greg Wild, attackmen, are both quick and could challenge for starting roles. Junior Bernie Donachie is a top defensive performer and his 6-2, 190 frame made him an All-Conference choice last season. Mid-fielders Jim O' Neil and Brain Blesi will add to the Blue and Gold scoring punch. Bob Tayler is another top prospect from last years club. Hobrock thinks junior Andy Dutch · or freshman Craig Brisbane will take over the goalie position. Since Bill Harris · was lost through graduation, the spot is empty. "They both have looked very impressive and whoever gets the nod is capable of doing a fine job", said Hobrock. Other yearlings who may win starting spots are Charlie Zezza, Todd Noll, and Peter Maxwell- Assisting Hoborck with coaching chores are Bill MacArthur defensive coordinator and former Wilkes lacrosse star Fred Lohman. The Colonels will get their initial test when they compete in the SUNCOAST INVITATIONAL in Tampa, Florida. Wilkes will meet Kenyon on March 17, Michigan State on the 19th, Holy Cross on the 21, Ohio Wesleyan on March 22, and RPI on March 23. Hobrock hopes to make a good showing in the prestigious tourney before returning north to take on Dickinson on April 1. Although a young team, Coach Hobrock doesn't refer to it as a total year of rebuilding. With proper balance of upperclassmen, incoming freshman and five returning juniors who started last year, things look really bright for the 1978 stickmen.

For over 40 years Blanc has been the voice of such cartoon characters as Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Barney Rubble, Sylvester the Cat, Pepe LePew, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, along with many others. It is estimated that over 100 million people throughout the world hear his voice each day. Blanc began his vocalisms in grade school, where he got great laughs and lousy grades, and where he invented the laugh which was to become the trademark of Woody Wood£2':!Cker. Kids think of Vincent Price as a white-faced, black-clad vanpire, serious thei;tter-goers remember him for his commanding performance in Victoria Regina, TV fans know him as a gourmet cook, art connoisseur, game show contestant, and a popular narrator for symphony orchestras. He will come to Wilkes as a guest of the Concert and Lecture Series in a pres.entation entitled "Villians Still Pursue Me." The one man presentation will be in the CPA Sunday, March 5 at 8 p.m. The show is open to the publfo and is free of cha;ge. Born in Saint Louis, Vincent Price's initial aim in life was to become a teacher and collector of art, however, this was amended, when he tried out for and got a part in a small theatrical venture inLondon. From that time on, his thoughts turned to, and have never left the theater.. Price · studied art at Yale University and later, at University of London.

' , He is a superlative master of drama and can be counted on to enthrall and delight capacity audiences across the footlights. From the mid-thirties until the end of the forties, a time known as "the golden days of radio," Blanc starred in his own show, along with his wife Estelle, appeared as a featured performer on other shows and enjoyed enormous success with Capital Records. After he moved into television, it wasn't fong before he created a score of unusual voice characters. Since 1960 Americans ha ve encountered the Blanc touch in commercials created by the staff of Blanc Communications, and have enjoyed comedy sketches supplied by "Superfun," radio pieces produced by the Blanc Corporation.

Happenings Arouse Suspicion; Could Ross Hall Be Haunted? DRAMA PRESENTATION-"Kennedy's Children," a drama by Robert Patrick, will be presented by Cue 'n Curtain [in association with the College theater] Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 10, 11 and 12 in the C.P.A. . The play, a series of monologues, is set in a Manhatten bar on Valentine's Day 1974 and concerns the lives, experiences and impressions of six people. The audience will experience the play close up, as it will be seated at the tables of the bar rather than in the t heater. · · Pictured are members of the cast: In the foreground is Lynn Sare; second row: Paul Gallagher, Cyndy Morrell, Carl Edwards, Adele Ann Tavella, John Forte. Who said that Wilkes College has no school "spirit"? Obviously they are unaware of the buildings on campus which are reportedly haunted (that is -- prior to their use by the College); and for Barbara Greenwood, director of the Upward Bound program located at Ross Hall, being wary of these reports is no longer a "special" sport. Ross Hall is the large, brown, three story building located directly across from the CollegeTemple Israel joint parking lot on · Ross Str. Upon entering the building one would think that it is ·no more ominous that the Easter Bunny, and this belief is further confirmed when greeted by the smiling friendly faces of the workers in the offices on the second floor. Here Ms. Greenwood related the story of the mysterious happenings that have recently been taking place at Ross Hall. It started three weei5s ago, about 8 p.m. when Bob Steininger, a student from Bishop Hoban in the Upward Bound program, was teaching his usual Friday night Karate class on the third floor of the building. . According t9 Ms. Greenwood, He's the one who first heard the ghost." . Bob claims that while the class was in session, he and the group heard what sounded like "Doors opening and slamming on the second floor." Under ordinary circumstances this wouldn't be too alarming, but the building was locked from the inside, and there are very few doors on the second floor which are not locked after working hours. The building was in darkness as Bob silently crept down to the second floor to investigate. Unable to find the cause of the disturbance ( Ute noises had ceased by now) he returned to continue his Karate lessons on the third floor. Shortly thereafter the slamming noises resumed, and again Bob went to investigate, and again he found nothing and returned to his lesson. After this sequence was re~eated for the fourth time, Bob & AIR FORCE ROTCHERE ARE T'HE FACTS .,.. e _ When you're discussing something as important as your future , it's urgent that you get the straight facts .. . and that you understand them.

Ms. Greenwood stated that "all of our kids are interested in the supernatural,'. ' and when furhter investigation could produce no "logical" explanation for the strange occurrence of the Friday night noises, members of the program decided to "dig up background information about the previous owners of Ross Hall." The group further inspired by an · abridged article in this winter's publication of the "Quarterly" written by alumnus Ronald Anderson, the article dealt with the interesting history of many of the building on campus. Jackie Boyle, a senior English major-and a member of the Cooperative Education Program associated with the Upward Bound Progra!]l, is assisting the students with their search. So far, they have discovered that the house was built in 1896, and Maria Dunning, the original owner, first inhabited the house in 1897. Upon her death, the house was willed to her second son, Henry, who died 2 months after his mother. Henry, in turn, willed it to somebody by the name of Eliza. This is the farthest Jackie, Bob, and Rose (also a member of Upward Bound) have gotten in their inv~stigation of the Historical Society and the Courthouse records. Progress is reportedly slow, but it will not cease as the group intends to visit local libraries and newspapers in an attempt t<> find more information. They have not yet been able to substantiate the claim that one of the owners was an embezzler and a "con man," whose life ended when he jumped out of the third floor window. Ms. Greenwood has also noted other strange incidences over the past few weeks, such as water faucets being turned on and off when no one was near them, and "snatches of conversation" in empty rooms. It seems everyone at Ross Hall is caught up in the spirit of things, as they attempt to solve "the curse of Ross Hall." Reenie Corbett �I PAGE 4, THE BEACON, MARCH 3, 1978 Recently the men of Denison Hall wrote a letter which appeared in the p_ast issue of The Beacon. The letter expressed their dissatisfaction with the conditions existing in their dorm. Among their complaints were bad heating, bad plumbing, rodents, bugs, and leaky ceilings. When the problems became unbearaf>le the residents of the dorm got together with Dean George Ralston to discuss their problems. They also met with Charles Abate, Roger Jones, and Andrew Shaw. An exterminator was sent to Denison Hall to rid the dorm of what the residents thought were mice. A while after the exterminator had completed the job a dead rat was found in the dorm. Maintenance men have since. been at work taking care oC the problems and "getting the bugs out." Fred Herrmann, resident asst. at Denison, commented that the problems are getting attention 'lnd maintenance is making an effort. He also said th'"At it will probably be a few months before the residents will be certain that the work done is satisfactory. Dean Ralston commented that many problems arise because of the fact the Denison Hall is a very old building which is hard to maintain. Ralston explained that all the problems have pretty well been Shep Sends SOS- Seeks Ski Jacket taken care of and that since all the work orders have been processed and completed he supposes that maintenance has finished. Work done includes checking the heating system and plumbing and exterminating any rodents. Ralston said that one thing is not going to be done, that being repairs to one bathroom because the expense would be too great. · However, Jhe bathroom may be repaired at the end of the semester when it will be decided if it will be worth it to make any more repairs to the building. Ralston s·a id that the buildipg needs total renovation and he's not sure if it would be a wise investment since it is the poorest of all buildings on campus. Louis Czachor "Daniel Flood' s mind is analogous to Philadelphia, I tried to go there once, but it was closed!" To The Editor: The other day, while in a severe state of depression, I came to the horrifing realization t hat us atheists have nobody to pray to in our time of need. This isn't fair, the christians have Christ , the moslems have Allah, and the jews have Bella Abzug, but alas the atheists stand alone. . In view of this I would like to suggest Daniel Flood as a possible canidate for our God. One might ask, " what qualifications does the man have?" to that I could only answer, "the same qualifications that got him where he is today, anyone who hates children and dogs that much can't be all bad." In closing I would like to say that I am very repulsed by all of the Daniel Flood jokes in circulation.

MARCH 3, 1978, THE BEACON, PAGE 5 PhOtOgtiOf,1,,ff Offers · fCampu$SnoozersSlumber Extra Career O i Wherever The Location A hobby is supposed to be something to do when you are not working, an interest that helps you to relax and forget worries and problems. But sometimes hobbies can turn out to be more, such as a possible career opportunity. · For Bob Gaetano, a junior Fine Arts and Communications major from Mountaintop, his interest in photography grew from merely an interest to a possible career. "It was interesting, and I decided it could be beneficial," he explained. Gaetano first became interest1.--0 in photography last summer, and since then has become qui~ involved with it. Besides serving as Beacon photographer for candid shots (remember the front covers of the February 3 and 10 issues of the Beacon) and for sports events, he has taken pictures and printed film for the Wilkes Public Relations Office, and the Mountaintop Star, Wyoming Valley Observer, and Times Leader Evening News-Record newspapers. He also writes feat ure and sports articles for the Beacon and P .R. Offi<;e, and the entire sports section of the Mountaintop Star. The Mountaintop resident does photography for his former High School, Crestwood Area. Gaetanos' subjects range from outdoor scenes to wrestlers to football and basketball games to rabbits. Using a Nikkonmat camera and 50 millimeter Nikkon lense he has captured the action at many wrestling meets and football games. To Gaetano, getting the fans into the pictures are just as important as the players. The expressions on their faces reflect the mood of the event. "I try to · get the fans in too," he said,"it makes for a better picture, without them it's boring." For basketball games, Gaetano prefers a wide angle lense, a 135 · millimeter zoom lense which brings the subject closer. He usually moves about at games and meets, aiming for iiifferent shots. · NOTICE White Card Workers - The Financial Aid Office, Chase Hall, is looking for a local person with typing ability as well as white card eligibility. Apply, Financial Aid. Jt- . "Nab, What's Up Doc?" Gaetano has used the outdoors as a subject as often as he uses sports. No matter what the season, he finds each has a particular beauty and feeling. Living in Mountaintop, where there are pl_e nty of woodland and forest areas provides a real advantge. "I love just being out of doors, and photography is a way to capture it," he remarked. He has also taken _pictures around the Wilkes campus. "Wilkes is an ideal setting," he added. Rabbits, which he raises at home, and other animals have been the humorous subjects of Gaetanos'camera too. "Ilook for subject and composition," he mentioned. He recently completed photography work on a brochure for the Hahnemann program at Wilkes. In addition, he has developed and printed pictures for the Wilkes ~ollege Alumni Quarterly magazine, and received recognition in the "~ma_teur Wrestling News" magazine in the form of a bv-line ■■•• ZZZZzzzz Oh, •Hi! I ,ve been contemplating a student activity that's been around for a long time, yet never given that much consideration. Now, sleeping in the library, as everyone knows, has always been a classic, but I'd like to discuss a few more points of slumber, offer some meagre suggestions for sleeping habits and even predict some futul'l' resting spots. C~mpus sleeping habits are obvwusly seasonal. In the winter months drowsy students may be found snoring away in the library, slun_iped over a heap of books, resting upon two chairs ("couchlike") or snoozing peacefully in those big comfy arm chairs on the l?wer level. The Darte lounge, ~Irst floor,, loo~s mighty inviting If you don t mind the company of several boisterous music majors, usually hanging out in that area. I would recommend this spot for the hard-nose sleeper who passes off into something log-like as · those drums, horns and pianos can interfere. The S.L.C. ,."100" lounge seems a popular ·resting locale. It does offer several advantages not available in other places and the facilities are excellent as many students seem t-o get lost in those big, soft cushions. There is a little matter of "traffic" in that area, but nothing serious. In fact, passers by might serve as "alarm clocks" for the benefit of those passing time between classes. In contrast the library offers a mor; "permanent" solitude as one could disappear among the jungle of desks and chairs once the head was down and not be found for days! position and use your arm as a head rest, after all, that's what it's there for, right? Don't suck your thumb as it might give others the same bad habit and just think. of the germs! Dro~ling in one's sleep has never made a hit, try to av~id it. This college is rated PG, lets keep it that way, O.K.? If y~u tend to talk in your sleep, do It at your own risk. Others around you are not responsible_ for what they hear, or for keeping it to themselves once they've heard it for that matter. And please try to censor the naughty words! I hope these few tips will produce more creditable sleepers in the future. Always remember; "Bad snoozers are losers!" Projected 1 predict that for the sake of variety students may pioneer some new sleeping dimensions. The couch in W eckesser Hall (first floor) looks promising, but may prove "disagreeable" in yet another sense. Don't even try the chairs in the Commons, they're terribly indifferent! The hoagie counter looks like a good prospect, however, and when the hoagies disappear each day, nobody does anything with it anyway. Kirby Hall lounges seem very peaceful, but watch out for the little crawly things, I hear they're "very" affectionate! There's not much to be said for the cement slab outside the Commons, and I hope I never see anyone crazy enough to stop there! What's that? Have "I" frequented these spots? And afterall how would "I" know the best places to sleep? If you are anxiously awaiting an answer to that question, just look for the nut on the cement slab some day! Pam Long �PAGE 6, THE BEACON, MARCH S, 1978 118 . This weifht class is loaded! With six o the top seeds from last year returning, it should be one of the most intense and competitive of all the classes. Gene Mills of Syracuse is the defending champ and he will be the clear-cut favorite to retain his title. But it won't be a one man show with .the talent on .hand like R on Keane (Cornell), Steve Bastianelli (Lehigh), Tom Coleman (Army), Bill Hawley (Princeton), and Mitchell Vance (Temple. Ed Johnson has the talent but not the experience to place in this class. BRYAN BILLIG 126 There is no obvious favorite in this weight class, but with Lance Lenhardt of Lehigh gone, there will be a new champion crowned this year. Look for Guy Dugas and Greg Shoemaker to meet in the finals. Dugas (Syracuse) is the stronger of the two but Shoemaker is a very clever wrestler from East Stroudsburg State. It should make for quite a battle. Wilkes' freshman sensation Bryan Billig has· a real good shot at finishing high in this category with a strong challenge from Lehigh's Doug Hetrick. . EIWA Tourney Opens Today 134 Tlfls is a wide open category, with the top three placewinne~ from last year having graduated. , Syracuse has two wrestlers at ~ this slot in the lineup, Jim Slat\' tery who is trying to drop from ~142, or Randy Gillette. Whichever ~ \\'f one wrestles for the Oran gem en will definitely be in the running. for the title. Doug Parise (Temple) and Kip Brown (Franklin and Marshall) will also be in t he thick of things. If Alex Grohol was healthy, he could win it, but. PAT freshman Pat O'Callaghan O'CALLAGHAN doesn't have the experience for tournament competition. 142 This is another wide open weight class in this year's tournament, with a few big "ifs" making events interesting. If Princeton's Steve Grubbman can drop from 150, he will be the odds-on favorite to unseat returning defending champ Steve Tray-. !or of Yale. If Jim Slattery of - ----..---.=- Syracuse cannot drop to 134, he ------==~ will also be in the running. Colonel's Casper Tortella has a very good shot at placing high in _ this category and stirring up the action a bit. CASPER TORTELLA MARK DENSBERGER 150 'The two top placewinners from last year have departed. Bruce Kessel (East Stroudsburg State) has graduated and Steve Grubbman is trying to go down a weight If Grubbman fails to get down to 142, he will be the favorite at 150. Colonel standout Mark Densberger could go all the way if he stays healthy throughout the entire tourney. Challenges · will come from Lehigh's Jeff Allega'r, Navy's Paul Supchak, and Jody McMullen of East Stroudsburg State. 7// l 177 · Mark Lieberman of Lehigh has this one wrapped up without breaking a sweat. He is the returni ng defending champ and will be a $trong contender for the national title. Keith Ely finished second last year and the same will probably ·happen again this year. The Princtonian .kept Wilkes' Bart Cook from the finals last season with a quick pin in the semis. The remaining spots are open, but t he Colonels' Doug .Drescher, filling ifi for injured Perry Lichtinger, does not have the experience DOUG DRESCHER necessary. The -consolation rounds also play an important role in the final analysis. For example, the Colonels finished only a single point away from third place last year without a single champion and only one runnerup (Lon Balum). . Strong teams without individual standouts like Wilkes, Temple, and Navy can still be counted very much in the running for the team championship. Reese is co\rnting heavily on Mark Densberger (150), Gene Clemons (167), and Dan House (HWT) to end up in the finals . He is also hoping to land Bryan Billig (126), Casper Tortella (142) , and Dave Gregrow (190) qualifying spots for the National Tournament in two weeks. If Greg MacLean (158) can snap out of his slump, he could also qualify for that tourney. Every little bit helps and the freshmen in the lineup (Drescher, Johnson, and O'Callaghan) could chip in very nicely to the Colonel cause. The Colonels have not been wrestling well lately, splitting their last four matches. They beat Rutgers and Bucknell but were defeated by East Stroudsburg and Penn State. · Reese is hoping that the mild slump that saw the Colonel record drop to 14-6-1 is only the lull before the storm. They own victories over Lehigh, Syracuse, and Navy; three of the EIWA top teams. Their challenge this weekend will be to show that the smallest Division I team in the country is ready to stand up and be counted among the best. Jeff Acomley Miss Glawe set th_e pace from the very start as she led in all three rounds of the womens diving competition at Widener College. Throughout her four years of diving for the school, Cindy has garnered a third place finish as a freshman, a second place finish as a sophomore, another second as a junior, and finally the beloved first place gold -medal as a senior in the MAC Tournament. This is quite an accomplishment for a diver who has never had professional instruction. Cindy stated, "Wilkes does not have a diving coach and this does hurt our swimming and diving program. If it wasn't for Joel Abate and Paul Niedzwiecki (two 1974 teammates of Cindy's), 190 · Lehigh has dominated this weight class for a long time and will continue to do so. Don McCorkel has graduated but his championship will be garnered by another Lehigh man. Mike Brown should n'ot have too much trouble breezing to the 190 title. Dave Gregrow will have a real good shot at finishing very high if his health doesn't stand in t he _ way. Challenging Gregrow will be Carmen Morino of Temple and Craig Blackman of Franklin and Marshall. DAVE GREGROW HWT_ 'This category should also see some tremendous competition throughout the tournament. The Colonels now have two of last year's placewinners on their team in Dan House and Bob Matzelle, who is red-shirting this season. Princeton's John Sefter is the defending champion and is heavily favored again in this heavy class. House should finish very high again this year with challenges comjng from Lehigh's Mike Newbern and Mike Rotunda of Syracuse. DAN HOUSE ''S'' Playoffs This Week; Gold Medal Performance In MAC Tourney By Glawe Last weekend at the 1978 MAC Swimming and Diving Championships, Wilk es' Cindy Glawe set a new MAC record in the women's diving competition with a total of 291 points.

BOMBERS - boasting such players as high scoring gunner Pete Cosgrove, the Bombers certainly have enough fire power. Bob Kacerosky and Mike Brady line up at forwards to complete the front line. Mike Briel is another top player. The Bombers could be extremely tough is Cosgrove ever crosses half court to play defense. SOFIAS BAR AND GRILL the cinderella club of 1978.

BUCKAROOS - the Bucks are comprised of a bunch of off season Smegmas, who couldn't take the action in the A LEAGUE.

Remember fans, John ZaJ?ko was not playing yet when Wilkes meet H erb Magee's Rams. · But Bearde is already looking toward next year with t he hopes of t urning the cage,. program around and in a hurry. " We have some fine men coming back, and I guarantee we will go all out in t he recruiting wars," added Bearde. The nine probable ret urnees are: JOH N ZAPKO - who Bearde calls the " Hub" of next year's squad; J EFF BAIRD - who has the height and t ools to be a dominant figure in the MAC; freshman Mike McCarrie - who had to be t he most pleasant surprise of t he yeat for Wilkes; ARTIE MEIGH - a sweet shootin guard ready to make a move; DONNY " SKY" WINDER - out of the Dave Cowens mold, will go through a brickwall to win a game; E D VAN BUREN - as cool on the court as he is on the radio; GEORGE OSCHAL - a former Wyoming Ar ea All-S ch ola stic who has a lot of ability; RICKY MARSHALL, like Winder, a hustler, will do anything to win; and John Stevens (not Stephens), who just needs the experience. Coach Bearde said he would like. to instill in -his club for next year a full mental toughness. "We don't want to be sky-high after beating Lock Haven or do we want to be low-down if we lose to Del Val. We want to try to get an even balance, · this will be better for the club," commented Bearde. The Colonel cage mentor has already started PHASE I on his recruiting game plan. He along with ace scout Bernie Vinovrski have received replies from the New York and Philadelphia areas. Bearde and Vinovrski are going up to the Big Apple this Sunday to catch four championship high school games. - Both will now begin to zero-in on some of the top-notch high school area talent. Bearde feels this year' s class of seniors has to rank as one of the finest crops to ever come along. He is interested in many of the local standouts, but six come to mind faster than the others. They are, alphabetically, George Aldrich Pittston Area, Dave Ca pin W. V. W ., Tony Decker G.A.R., Mike Keeney Bishop Hoban, Pat McCue W.V.W., and big Ron Zynel of Meyers. In this group. Bearde hopes to find the players who will be the key for Wilkes in the next four years. Aldrich is .a fine overall player from Gene Guarilla's championship team. He is oue of the finest area players without the ball. Capin has one of the finest turn-around, fade-a-way jumpers this side of Dick Barnett. Decker was the AA League's MVP last year as a junior and is a good choice to repeat. He is a very good ball handler and outside shooter. Keeney was Bishop Hoban's main man throughout the year, and enjoyed one of the finest second halfs of any of the ballplayers. ,. .. ; . .~. .

It was decided that the party will be heW at Gus Genetti's · since they had the best offer for the most reasonable cost. The date has been changed to meet with Genetti' s schedule from Friday night, March 10, to Sunday night, March 12. Tickets will go on sale a week from Monday in the Commons and the cafeteria. The price per person has not been determined but because of the skyrocketing food costs the ticket price is expected to be higher than last year' s. In other council business, DeRobertis lead a discussion on the problem of student advising by faculty which has been on the agendas of the Student Life and Student Affairs committees. Most views expressed by members were that their advisors can not answer many of their questions with everyone agreeing that Ms. Doris Barker, Registrar, "is the only person on campus who knows the curriculum requirements." DeRobertis feels that a great number of teachers are not making a basic effort to advise. Concerning the bus trip to New York City, which is this weekend, John Griffith, who is in charge of the trip, reported that due to six cancellations, there is going to be a loss of $40. This loss stems from the empty seats on the bus since the hotel reservations for these people have been cancelled. With the $78 loss from the 76er' s basketball game bus trip, the council has lost over $110 on their sponsored bus trips so far. Griffith, - also Commons committee chairman, reported that a grip box has been placed in the Commons. The first couple of complaints reported dealt with the leaky roof, the prices for food, and the dirty bathrooms. This committee will meet with Mr. William Denion of the College food service company to discuss all complaints reported. Mr. Art Hoover, ·student Activities Director and CC advisor, requested for a list of Brass_Quintet To Perform Wednesday The Potsdam Brass Quintet will be featured Wednesday, March 1 at 8 p.m. in the C.P.A., as part of this year's Concert and Lecture Series.

An afternoon seminar for music majors will be part of Wednesday's program. volunteers from the cou;cil to help out in the Capitol Gifts Campaign. These volunteers will make personal calls to the alumni in their hometown areas seeking donations to the campaign. An April 11th kick-off dinner will start the campaign and these volunteers will begin their drive then. Over 17 council members volunteered and Hoover and DeRobertis were pleased with this amount. Any studentinterested in working on the Campaign should contact Mr. Hoover. Jim Edwards New Problems Arise For Evaluation Forms Ross Mantione of the Computer Science Club reported at the Student Goverment meeting Monday night that several new problems have arisen with the Teacher Evaluation Forms. Before the data from the forms can be entered into the computer, each form must have its own number plus a course number and a teacher number. There are over 7,000 forms to be entered into the computer and the body started to number them at the meeting. This problem was not anticipated but Mantione offered a solution for next year's evaluation of the have to investigate into each one of these to find out who taught each of these courses. Mantione also pointed out that in one case a professor's name was on the form for that course but another professor actually taught the course. Carl Holsberger, SG president, seemed very dismayed at all these new and-unexpected problems but is still very determined to get the results published accurately. Some members seemed negative about the idea of the teacher evaluation Forms but Holsberger said that the body can not back down now. He attributed most of these problems to the first hand experience of conducting the evaluation and feels that once this year's problems are ironed out, future evaluations will be less complicated.

This party caused a big controversy last week over the question of allowing beer on the first floor of the Sub or not. Beer was allowed for this party alone and according to Bazzini, there were no problems and everyone had a good time. In other council business, it was announced that the council has received a good block of tickets to sell for the "America" concert at King's College, Tuesday March 14. Students may purchase these tickets at the IDC office for $8.50 during the week. Pam Keller of Weiss Hall is organizing the first Wilkes College Backgammon Tournament which may be held in the SUB. The tournament would consist of the best of five rounds and an entry fee of 50 cents would be used towards prize money. There would be two divisions for advanced and beginning players. For further information contact l,(iller or Bazzini. NOTICE Student Goverment is notifying the TDR sorority, the Student Union Board, the Debate Union, Commuter Council, the Concert and Lecture Series Board, InterDormitory Council, the senior class, the junior class, the sophomore class, and the freshmen class that budget requests for 1978-1979 academic year will be received in the SG office until Feb. 28. Budget forms may be secured from the SG office or the Activity Fund Director, Edward Baltruchitis. All requests will be reviewed by SG and th,e Activity Fund committee. NOTICE Due to a number of difficulties encountered in publishing this week's Beacon, this issue consists of four pages. Please bear with us until next week when the problems are resolved. Under new business it was reported that Priapus House has been placed on social probation indefinitely because of a pulled fire alarm a few weeks ago. Anyone with old tickets to the washer and dryers can turn them in for cash at the Business office. All washers and dryers are free now. Sheree Kessler, chairman of the food committee, reported that at the last meeting with the cafeteria staff, more suggestions were expressed No Problem Party Policy -Changes. May Be In Future After the controversy centering around last week's Valentine's Party and whether or not to allow beer on the first floor of the SUB, it was reported that a number of administrators and members of the Board of Trustees are concerned with the campus party situation. This was reported at the Student Union Board meeting Tuesday, when Dean Edward Baltruchitus stated that "because things . are mushrooming" t he administration is worried about the risk the College takes in allowing such parties. He said that because the drinking age is 21 and most students are under age, if "anything ever happened" the College could have a law suit to contend with. "The· College doesn't want to take the legal risk," he stated. He also implied that the party policy may be tightened or even eliminated. "The College may move in this direction," said Baltruchitus. "Let's wait until someone takes the resp~nsibility to say something." In reviewing the St. Valentine's Party, it was agreed that generally everyone was pleased with the outcome. The party was orderly, and beer was spilled only once upstairs in the SUB, and that was taken care of.

The Physics Club also has planned a few surprises to be included in the show. • This will be the Club's second laser show. The first one was presented last fall. There was a good response to the last show, bu t there were a few minor problems which have since been taken care of. A laser is a compace beam of highly energized light. It is composed of photons emitted from a gas and projected in a very thin beam. Although lasers can be dangerous if they are powerful enough, tomorrow night's show will be completely safe.

To The Editor: We here at Denison Hall feel that some aspects of our housing situation and the housing situation in general should be brought to the attention of the student body, the faculty and the ad ministration. Perhaps the best way to express our feelings and convey the abuses is through the Eastern Indian story concerning the Indian host and his American guest. It seems one day, after being a guest in the house for a week, the American brought up in passing conversation the situation of his room. The American, it seems, had a strong disiiking towards the cockroaches that littered the floor, the dresser drawers and the clo~ets of his room. · He had kept qmet because he was a guest and . thought it wrong to intervene in such domestic matters. Finally, the American could no longer tolerate the roaches and so brought the situation to the attention of his host. The Indian host was very sympathetic but took no action because roaches were very common in the area and said everyone must be willing to adapt to and tolerate this trivial uncomfort. The American returned to his room, feeling selfish and at the same time determined to ignore the roaches to ·the best of his abilities. While the American was standing on a stool in the corner (the only safe spot from the hoarde of roaches) he noticed a most disturbing event. As s~veral ro~ches were carrying off his belongmgs, three rats appeared and_ devoured the. roaches. Immediately the A~encan relayed these even!s to his host: The host was agam sympathetic but could only reason that the rats would ~ake care of the r~ach popula~10n and the Amen~an would Just have to learn to hve Chorus To Present Concert The Wilkes College Chorus, under the direction of Michael Haberkorn, will present its third concert on Thursday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m. · The major choral work on the program will be Gabriel Faure's "Requiem," Opus 48.

The American then returned to his room to find two king cobras dining on the rats. He ran and told his host. The host reasoned, since the rats had eaten the roaches, and the snakes would eat the rats, all the American would have to do is make a slight adjustment in his squeamish attitude towards the snakes. The American avoided his room for several days but finally needing sleep he courageously ventured back to his quarters only to find two mongooses ravageously tearing at the flesh of the cobras. The American was somewhat desensitized by this time and therefore did not _report the mongooses to his host until the last day. The host was outraged. He immediately directed his servants up to the room to clear out the roaches, the rats, · the snakes and the mongooses. Hence, the American had one comfortablg evening in his room. Moral: Everyone has a toleration level and it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed. We at Denison Hall have surpassed our toleration level (translation -- WE ARE PI--ED!!) In our humble abode (dorm) there lives cockroaches, mice, squirrels and rats . These creatures are annoying, but our complaints do not end there. The shower on the second floor that does not work would ordinarily cause problems, but we, being ingenius and innovative, have adapted. We shower under the various leaks -in the roofs. This bathing practice, of course, is directly related to the amount of precipitation. In the spring and the fall we are able to bathe with some frequency because of the generous supply of rainfall, but in the winter it mostly snows and the snow gathers on the rooftop. We are all waiting for the thaw so that we ~an resuem our regular bathing practices. A simple solution would be to fix the shower. This has been suggested and in turn we have been promised that the shower would be fixed. This promise has been made at least once a semester for the last four years. The list of our complaints goes on and it includes such trivial things as lack of heat and hot water. With all jesting aside, the recent revelation that rats inhabit the basement of Denison has brought about the culmination of a lot of petty annoyances. Yet these inconveniences do add up and we feel something should be done. All conventional means to rectify these problems have failed and now we hope we can gain some assistance in solving these problems. The Men Of Denison Ball ****** 3. Financial assistance. 4.

':It is more complica ted t han it would seem to an outsider at first glance." There has been considerable controversy concerning t he matter of the poor schedules that the basketball teams have had to endure t his year and John Rtl_ese is the man responsible for assembling thos schedules. Fingers have been pointed and accusations hurled, but Reese feels hurt t hat he has been accused of wrongdoings for selfish motives. A delicate balance has to exist between all of the sports and it is the Athletic Director who has to maintain that balance. Granted, being a coach and an At hletic Director is difficult, but Reese feels t hat this arguement of nepotism is unfounded. " That Letter to the Editor in last weeks Beacon really hurt me deeply," stated the AD-coach. " It was inaccurate and founded solely in rumor. If t he author would have called me, I would have gladly explained t he wh ole situation to him." According to Reese, the MAC scheduling is done two years in advance and in itial contacts wit h Oklahoma were not made until last years National Tournament in March.

Wrestling Oklahoma was a great opportunity for this entire school, and we had to be back to the campus to prepare for the Southern Swing anyway. That So~t hern Trip was financtl(i by the home schools entirely. They gave us a guaranteed income for making the trip, so it didn't cos t the school anything extra," stated Reese. The costs of scheduling the teams over the break period are prohibitive also. It costs a Jot of big bucks to bring back to campus all of the winter athletes. That is why we encourage our teams to get involved in Christmas Tournaments so they can stay in shape," added Reese. " Rodger Bearde elected to take-his team to t he St. Michaels Tournament in Vermont in early December instead of a Christmas Tourney. That is why their break was so Jong." This year was also the first that the double-round robin -competition was put into effect in t he MAC. Wit h only 26 possible dates to work wit h, it is a difficult job to accomodate everyone. Since t he schedules are on a rotating basis, all of t he games t hat were away t his year will be home next year and visa versa.

Cagers- FI•n •Ish Worst I · · D · d Year In O ver eca e---------------------------------------------------------------1 I The Wilkes College basketball team closed out its worst season since 1964 on Monday night with a heart-breaking 70-69 Joss to the Bloomsburg Stat e Huskie! at the Wilkes gym. The Colonel cagers ended the year with a 5-18 overall mark and a 2-12 slat e in the MAC. The game went back and forth until Bloom sub Jeff Slocum hit two free-throws with : 33 seconds left to give the Huskies a 68-67 advan ta ge. Aft er Jeff Baird · missed a desperation 15-footer at : 06 , Slocum hit two more free-throws and Kenny Hughes tallied a lay-up at the buzzer for the 70-69 final. Wilkes t op scorer John Zapko, averaging 19.6 per game, was held to just eight points in the season ending Joss. The Bloom D didn't hold Zap, t he bench did, as he sat out most of the game with foul trouble. IUt was t he first contest of the year in which he had not tallied double figures. · A DETAILED SUMMARY OF THIS YEAR'S ME N S BASKETBALL SEASON WILL BE PRESENTED IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE. Fin al : Outlaws Whip ·Softees A great injustice was given t o John Zapko this past week. The 6-6 forward from Fairless Hills, Pa.·was nominated for the annual ECAC team of the week. Zap didn' make the squad although he ta llied 93 poin ts (23.2 ), 59 rebounds, ov_er 50 per cent shooting from the field and 15 of 21 free-throw attempts, in the Colonels' four games for t he week. Those players from the ECAC who were chosen had far less statistics than Zapko, but they did play for teams with better records. What does t he E CAC player nominations stand for, t he player or ~is team? Dave Ogre, an intern working at t he ECAC office, when questioned on the Zapko issue, stated he would check into it, but nothing can be done. Alt hough the· evidence shows him wrong, Ogre said the players are not picked just because of their team's record. Where does this leave Zapko? Nowhere, but with a 22.3 scoring average for the week and no recognition. The ECAC is again proving it is just a joke.

Phone 825-7569 Be that as it may, the Colonels are hot (sort of hot ). Their winning streak going into the PSU encounter stood at nine and they will close their regular season -tommorrow when they entertain Rutgers, East Stroudsburg, and Bucknell in a triple-dual match during the afternoon. The Colonels will tangle with Rutgers at 2:00, Stroud at 3:30, and Bucknell at 5:00. The reason for all of this madcap activity is that Wilkes got snowed out of the meet with Stroud and " Flued" out of the one with Bucknell. The match with Rutgers is the only one t hat was regularly scheduled for tommorrow. The other teams were also snowed out of matches with each other and the ·whole thing is too confusing to figure out. But the bottom line is t hat there will be a whole mess of wrestling in the gym tom morrow. · In the only action last week, the Colonels escaped with a win over Franklin and Marshall in what had to be considered the most boring match of the decade. F&M was down in the dumps emotionally because several of their wrestlers were ill with the flu and they figured that giving up 18 points worth of forfeits t o the Colonels before even stepping onto the mats was a strike distinctly in their disfavor. The Wilkesmen were afso flat because they figured with t he 18 point spot, they could afford to look ahead in anticipation to t he P enn State match. The result was a 27-15 triumph for the good guys but aii exercize in yawning for the fans. "I feel that I should apologize to t he fans for making them sit through that torture on Saturday," commented Coach John Reese. "It was the worst we've wrestled all year. I' m just hoping that it is the lull before the storm." Just for the record; Ed Johnson, Casper Tortella, and Greg MacLean ,t ook 3-point decisions while Mark Densberger, Gene Clemons, and Danny House t ook the 6-point freebees. Bryan Billig, Jim Kachidurian (134), Perry Lichtinger, and Dave Gregrow absorbed the losses. Gregrow had to default in his match due t o a sore shoulder but he will not miss any time because of the injury. " We just didn't have any zip," added the Colonel coach. " We were simply saving it all for the Lions, I hope," he added with a wink. Jeff Acomley The Outlaws, to no ones surprise, have captured the mens intramural "A" league basketball title with an easy 75-60 win over the -Sons of Softee in the playoff final. At the outset, Softee scored the first six points, but a patented Outlaw spurt minutes later put them 15 points ahead and t hey maintained that bulge the rest of the way. Six Outlaws reached double figures , while Bob Brezinski was a bright spot for Softee with 20 points. P erhaps the key man for t he Outlaws was Gary Toczylowski who drew the assignment of stopping · Softee cent er J ohn Lack, the team's leading rebounder and third leading scorer. Toz singlehandedly stifled Lack, preventing him from scoring at all, and led his squad to t he 1978 Wilkes I ntramural Basketball Association (WIBA) title. Outlaw team members include Dave (you still owe me a six-pack) Taylor, not-so steady Freddie Herman, Mike Capperal, " Disco" Tom McIntyre, Mike (I won at last) Vassil, Andy " Chicken Arm" Kresky, Bill "Also Chicken Arm" Polaha, and Toczylowski. The four divisional leaders in t he " B" league are t he Barens, Sofia' s Bar and · Grill, The Bombers, and The Buckeroos. With playoffs just around the corner, Beacon analysts . have predicted that they eventual champion will be the Bombers. In a rematch of last week's game, the highly-.touted, and deservedly so, BARENS annihilated the WAR (play more like peace) HEADS, 74-42, as all the Barens showed up this week. Joe Carr .ripped the cords for 21 points on 10 of 12 shooting from the field . Most of the 5,000 fans on hand t o see t he game were heard to exclaim on t he way out, " The Barens are back, the Barens -are back." The Barens will meet PREP H in a game which will decide t he Division I · title on Monday night at 9:00. The Warheads, alt hough John Lychos won' t admit it, are an also ran with no talent.

The Colonel aquanauts faced Binghamton (SUNY) and Utica in a tri-meet. The Wilkesmen split the twin decisions by losing to Binghamton, 79-34, but bouncing back to defeat Utica, 75-35 . . The Binghainton swimmers (rated one of the best swim teams in New York) dominated the aqua marine waters of their pool as they white-washed Wilkes and - their fellow New York staters · from Utica. Even though it was the day after Valentines Day, the "Bingo" swimmers showed no lo.ve for their foes. The big moments against Bingo for Wilkes came from Jim Edwards, 200 IM; and the 400 Free Relay Team (consisting of Edwards, Kevin Augustine, Jeff Jones, and Tony Pinto) . They were the only/ members of the Colonel team to pick up first place honors against Binghamton. For Wilkes' Cindy Glawe, it was a long afternoon as she was uprooted from her normal first place spot by Bingo's Jeff Wilson. Cindy tallied 180.10 in her optional dives and 159.10 in the . required ones. However, it was not enough to catch Wilson who's total was 219.68 and 167.15, respectively. · Against Utica, the Colonels (ettes) could do no wrong as every member of the Colonel team . gathered points on the scoreboard. Out of the 11 swimming events, Wilkes captured eight first places. · First place finishes were won by: Jeff Jones, 50 and 100 Free; Jeff Boberick, 500 and 1000 Free; Tony Pinto, 200 Butterfly; Kevin Augustine, 200 Free; 400 Medley Relay (John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Kevin Augustine, and Bill Manley); and the 400 Free Relay team of Pinto, Jones, Edwards, and Augustine. In the diving competition, Wilkes' Cindy Glawe won both the required and optional events while . Greg Lepkowski placed third in the required diving. This trimeet set the Colonels record at 5-5 and set the stage for the dramatic attempt for the first winning season in the school's swimming history. On Saturday, February 18, history was made! The Colonels behind a tremendous ·performance by Alan Shaw, whipped Cathedral College of Long Island, New York, 66-34 to garner their first winning season ever. In key events, Shaw really came through for the Wilkes cause as he garnered a first place finish in the Breaststroke event. He was also a part of the medalist 400 Medly Relay team (John Moffatt, Kevin Augustine, Bill Manly, and Shaw.) Refreshed with the knowledge that they are the most successful swimming team in the school's history, the Colonels depart for the MAC championships today at Widener College. Colonels expected to finish high are Cindy Glawe and the 400 Free Relay tea m of Edwards, Agustine, Jones, and Pinto. Bob Ausura Note: Judy Wing should be nominated as the MAC's best swim event announcer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

U. Board Approves Beer On First Floor Concert Being Planned For later Tl,ig Spring A concert is currently "in the work," accordtng to Greg Black, co-chairman of SG'~ Concert Committee, to be held possibly in conjunction with Cherry Blossom Weekend. Black explained that he did not want to reveal any names of groups being considered since students expect a certain group and then are disappointed when that group cannot be booked. The Committee, which · is chaired by Black and Kevin McCall, tabulated the results from last semester's concert surveys; however, Black noted that there were only about 140 responses. The survey was conducted last semester .to aid in booking a concert for this semester. Black commented that the survey will be run again this semester, which would help for next semester's concert, but he also noted that musical taste on campus could change by then. although the survey response cannot be used as a fair representation, there were general trends in the results with rock, country-South and folk leading the list. Jazz and rhythm blues were ranked in the middle with disco and soul near the bottom. The Committee is considering a variety of groups and is trying to avoid booking_ a group similar to ··.Pure Prairie League" and "Outlaws." In considering groups, the Committee works with a promoter. The promoter suggests groups to Black and McCall, who in turn check the campus reaction to that specific group. Black explained why Sha Na Na was suggested is that the group has a different style compared to "Pure Prairie League" and "Outlaws." He . added the Committee could have been considering any group. _ The scheduling of a concert at Wilkes has been a recent issue in many letters to the editor. Black said "I try to be honest and say my tastes don't enter in." He stated that he and McCall discuss groups suggested by the promoter and are not out for their own best interests. The promoter with whom the Committee is working is aware of any circumstances which affect the groups booked at Wilkes. He also works with King's Colle~e and Scranton University Ill booking concerts. Black and McCall, along with the promoter, know the capacity of Wilkes. Either the chairmen or the promoter will suggest groups with the other party giving Continued o~ page 2 At a special Student Union Board meeting Tuesday afternoon in Dean George Ralston's office, it was passed by a vote of 9-1 to have beer on the first floor of the SUB for this Friday's IDC-CC St. Valentine's Day party. This meeting was arranged after Student Goverment recommended that the Student Union Board reconsider their previous decision. The Board had voted twice not to have beer on the first floor. This meeting's goal was to reach "sensible judgement" and the Student Union Board came to Dean Ralston for guidance and clarification. After over an hour and a half of discussing, arguing, and nit-picking the basic arguments came down to 1) whether to have beer on the first floor of the SUB for this party 2) how many people should be allowed to attend the party and 3) whether to havetarps down to protect the rug and pin-ball machines which was the concern of the Boards. Dean Edward Baltruchitus, SG advisor and a member of the Board, stated since IDC, CC, and SG are more responsible than any other group, tbev _ shoulrl be Debate Union Continues Glory For Big Season The forensic unit of the Debate Union continues to add glory to an already successful season. Its last trip was to West Long Branch, N.J., where the members competed in the Woodrow Wilson Forensic tournament, one of the largest competitions on the East • Coast.

A vote was taken to reconsider the two original decisions and it was passed 10-0. Another vote was taken to reconsider beer on the first floor for this party alone as an experiment. This vote was 9-1 with Mr. Art Hoover, a member of the Board, voting no on the grounds that "I don't thinkthe Board should be forced into making a decision. I still vote no." Hoover then left the meeting to take care of other business. , The final point discussed was on how many people should attend the party. IDC originally wanted 250 people but . had diregarded this number based on the SUB rules. They were wiling to settle on 200. Some Board members such as Peggy Schutz felt only 150 was an adequate number ·of people to control tqe party and protect the building.:Jin the final vote, 200 people were voted in favor to attend in a 5-4 decision with Andrea Taroli, Clint Franklin, Gary Toczlowski, Dave Hungarten, and John ~enatore voting in favor and Peggy Schutz John Leedy, Bob Austin, and Dean . Baltruchitus voting against. It was the general agreement of the board that the tarps would not create a good party atmosphere and shall not be 'used. This decision is only an exception to the rule because of the sponsoring organizations who are considered responsible. The policy still stands as a rule. Jim Edwards Reconsideration Prompted By SG SG Monday night voted to recommend to the Student Union Board that it , reconsider its decision not to allow beer on the first floor of the SUB during tonight's Valentine's Party. That move resulted in a reversal of the decision at a special meeting Tuesday. SG' s vote to make its recom mendation, which passed 18-5-1, followed almost an hour of discussion between SG members, SUB Directo1' Bob Austin ,and Union Board and SG Advisor Edward Baltruchitus. The Student Union Board, comprised of. eight students and two administrators, is accountable to SG, although "autonomous," according to Baltruchitus, who said the privilege ·was granted by SG in 1976. Monday's meetlng touowea iwo previous votes by the Board, both of which adhered to written policy by not permitting alcoholic beverages on the first floor. - Austin claimed that the people who originally voted against IDC's request are "people who know the building and know what's best for it." He explained that the Board's concerns involved the possible damage to carpeting and th~ $22,000 worth of novelty machines on the floor. For these reasons, the Board twice voted to not waive the current restrictions. Most SG members disagreed with the decision, arguing tliat a test case should be allowed to determine whether or not allowing alcoholic beverages on the first floor would actually cause those problems. In reference to the written limitations, Kim Dubosky comm,-nt....i t.h .. t. if nPlmlP. lll"P. not allowed to drink upstairs, they will drink as much as they can downstairs in the basement, and "you're going to have rowdy people because they're not drinking slowly." Rosetta Chiavacci proposed that "people aren't going to drink so much if they have something to do or somewhere to go," as a reason to allow more mobility at the party. Commenting on the reluctance of Roth Novelty Company to allow beer in the area where its equipment is, Louie DeRobertis noted the great potential use at such a party, and said he couldn't "believe a businessman would not allow a party" when he saw that potential. Duke Scancarella complained that it appears "Mr. Roth thinks of 4s not as young adults, but as juveniles." Baltruchitus addressed the body on four points, including his opinion that the party could benefit more students if held off campus, . and that fact that although SG made the Union Board autonomous, it called it in when it was not satisfied with a vote which was made by eight Continued on page 3 -On The Cover All you people have been complaining about the poor concert situation on this campus but where were you when Joan Baez preformed in McClintock Hall last week. Granted the size of the room was to small for Ms·. Baez that she had to play on the floor but only Nigel Gray was there to take a picture. Maybe Ms. Baez should wear shoes! �PAGE 2. THE BEACON, FEBRUARY 17, 1978 Concert From page 1 constructive criticism. "We have to settle for a smaller group, " said Black. He added that Wilkes cannot compete with King's and Scranton due to our size. Wilkes does not have the facilities that King's and Scranton have. Black explained the Wilkes g-ym will hold 2300 to 2500 people at the maximum. Concerning ticket prices, Black felt the suggestion of $11 in a recent letter to the editor was "outrageous." With a college studen t audience, the price of tickets could make a difference. Black figured the Committee could work with a budget of approximately $14,000 with a ticket price of $6.50. "We could go hig her, but t hat would exclude some people," noted Black. This budget includes not only t he cost of the group, but various • other expenses such as lighting a nd sound; advertising; stage crew and rider agreements. Due to t he capacity of the Wilkes gym, the College is !imited to booking groups which are on t he rise. Wilkes cannot afford the big names that King' s and Scranton can because of budget and seating limitations.• As far as Wilkes sponsoring concerts at other facilities, Black mentioned the Kingston Armory cann ot be considered. He commented t hat damage to doors and windows resulted at the las t concert held in the Armory. In light of'this, Black sent a letter to t he Armory staff explaining that damage had also occurred at ,.............................................. Wilkes and that Wilkes would be responsible. However, the request was turned down due to . Armory policy. In discussing the possibility of a Wilkes-King's concert, Bl,ack described "That would just be putting our name on something."·, "It kind of defeats the purpose," he added explaining that Wilkes sponsored concerts are something on campus for Wilkes students. "We're the only school that subsidizes tickets." Black noted that neither Scranton nor King's offer reduced ticket prices to students. There is atso the possibility of using the Paramount Theater in the future. . Black said the promoter also works with the Paramount. The idea of weekday concerts sponsored by Wilkes in the Paramount may be possible next year. The Committee is also looking into outdoor concerts. The group for the concert to be held later this semesterwiil _he probably decided upon within the next month, according to Black. However, the group will not- be announced until a later date. Black explained the promoter's philosophy about holding back advertising. He feels this will generate more enthusiasm for the concert rather than· the concert becoming a dead issue. Black commented that booking a concert is " not as easy" as some people seem to believe. - He emphasized that the Committee is The College Veteran's Club will i conduct a paper drive for the ibenefit and enjoyment of com;.muni ty children. . ; Mike Kowaleski, club public !

Set Story Strai.ght To The Editor: I would like to take exception_ to your claims that Commuter Council in years past has- not accomplished anything, but has just held its own. Maybe-it is an oversight or poor researching -on your part, but C.C. has accomplished great strides in the past. Six years ago Wilkes commuter didn't have an organization devoted solely to their needs. Once established it was admittedly a slow growth process. This was partly due to disinterest and slow acceptance by the college community. C.C. under the leadership of Mike Stambaugh made great progress in succeeding to obtain "on-campus parking" for commuters. (Something unheard of to commuters at Wilkes). He also instituted the Park and Lock idea with many long, hard hours of work and negotiations. I think a little credit should be given to the past Commuter Councils. As a past president of C.C., I know the many problems that face the council and the criticism that must be endured. But, as president, I along with my entire council fought for the rights of the commuters at Wilkes. We also created a workable relationship with I.D.C.; which in my estimation, was a major breakthrough. Maybe as the years go by thingf go by the wayside and past strides are forgotten, but it should be noted that C.C. is a relatively new organization and is rapidly coming into its own. It is now holding a high position at Wilkes. (Which it rightly deserves). In closing, I would like to truly compliment C.C. for its progress and The Beacon which is giving good copy to C.C. I was impressed to see C.C. as a major news story in Feb. 2nd Beacon. The Beacon isn't looking for the weak leak, but, realizing that C.C. is doing its job as always. (Promoting the commuter welfare). Maybe the present commuting students have real' ized that they have to work together to accomplish anything.

It seems that the reason for the unusual 54 days between the Men's basketball team home games and the unusual 53 days between the women's basketball team home games was for selfish reasons on the part of the Athletic Director. John Reese, who also serves as wrestling coach, scheduled these two teams as such in order that when the Oklahoma wrestling team (one of the top teams in the nation) called to schedule for a wrestling match in January, Mr. Reese would have the gym open and available. Grant~ that the wrestling team is what Wilkes College sports is famous for but if this is true, I feel a grave injustice has been handed down to our basketball teams.

Art, donned in nothing but diapers, a heart and a bow and arrow, spread his wishes for Valentine cheer. Throughout the campus, Art "Cupid" Hoover tiptoed around, seeking out lovers and nailing them with his arrows . . Many of the comments were not what our little cupid expected. Like, "Hit the road, Bud! " "Donahue's doesn't open 'ti! 6" and "Hit me with one more arrow and I'll rip your diaper off!" Nice try, Cupid, but don't you think it's a little too cold to be running around nude?

Thanks again, Louise Bw-ke _lVilkes College Mail Room Editor's Note: The Beacon received two letters from "An Avid Movie-goer" and "A Faculty Member" which were not signed by the authors. Because of our letter policy, we cannot print these letters this week. However, The· Beacon will print these letters if "An Avid Movie-goer" and "A Faculty Member''. will inform us of their identities, concerning rock concerts. T~e ' problem from what I, gather is that one, a lim!ted number of seats due to an madequate gym facility and second, since we don't h.ave the large sea~ing ca_pacity, tickets would be quite a bit more in order to pay for a well-known rock band. . .. . Has the poss1b1hty of usmg the Paramou!1t and the Armory been look00; mto by our concert committee? By the way, how many . members are on this committee and who do they report to? Maybe we would have. to pay for the use of the other facili~ies, fire, insu~nce, and secunty, but wouldn t the large seating capacity compensate for the money we would have to pay for those liabilities. . I also feel a concert at Ralston Field in late spring or early fall would be fantastic. If you haven't been an outdoor concert you don't know how much you'~ missing. Security would be what we would need to watch the fences, . to protect from free loaders geting in and I know it would work because I worked as a security guard for outdoor concerts. I hope someone will come up with a solution to this problem and I hope they consider ,;i.-n outdoor concert. · I would like to see some good entertainment and I'm just getting tired of all this hemming and hawing around.

And among _them are peoplt· who while filling their respective roles, decide to take on the added responsibilities of a campus club or organization. Rosetta Chiavacci, a senior nursing major from P ittston, is one of those energetic people. Rosetta has been involved in Student Government for the past two years, this year serving as r:orrespending Secretary. It all began two years ago when .tosetta sat in at a meeting for Carl Holsberger, who is now SG president. She became interested in Student Government, attended ·all of the meetings and was elected as this years Corresponding Secretary. Her duties for the post include handling the incoming mail and raking care of all correspqpdence. The Corresponding Secretary also serves as Homecoming Chairperson. Being in charge of an event that size involving that many people is no easy task. "I had to coordinate all · of the planning," she Tecalled,"down to t he smallest details, such as who would drive the cars over to the field, the bonfire activities , microphones, sashes, and times for people . to arrive." While Rosetta had the help of others, the major job was hers. She handled that job very efficiently, ai this years Homecoming proved to be a success. "I really enjoyed working for Homecoming-_" she added. When asked if she believes a state of student apathy really plagues Wilkes, Rosetta commented, " Not really, mos~ events ara well attended, but sometimes, wit h· classes and work, not many people have free t ime.", One . of Student Governmen ts maJor interests is to gain new ideas and . plan events which will appeal t o both commuting and dorm students alike, and provide interaction between the t wo groups. Student Government is only one of Rosettii's interests. The Pittston resident is also a member of t he Nursing Student Organiza ti on , a s ervice organization working t hroughout the community. In addition, she has walked · for the March of Dimes ,Walk-A-Thon, has been a donor for blood drives, and participates in Intramural volleyball and varsity softball. Rosetta was also among the 35 Wilkes seniors secected to Who' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. During her freshman and s ophomore years, Rosetta commuted every day to and from P ittston. However, she felt she "wasn't really involved and decided to dorm to move closer to everything." So s~e became a r esident of McChntock Hall during her junior year, and this year moved to Sullivan Hall. How did herfriends react to the situation? The "commuter-turned-dorm- student" took a lot of teasing at first. "It was pretty funn y " she laughed, "but now I've ~ade more new friends among do~ students as well as commuters.

Denn~ Jacobs did a yeoman job filling by j eff acornley For Rodger Bearde, this has been a season of much frustration and disappointment. He has endured where no others would endure. The record of a handful of wins against a mountain of losses would try even the most patient of men, but the won-loss record is only part of the story. His agony started last season when allegations of pot smoking and discipline problems on- the team hit the fan. A tremendous amount of publicity was given to the incidents and the players started dropping off left and right. "The problems of last years' team definitely hurt us this year," commented Bearde. "We lost seven players who were seasoned veterans because of direct results of last years' fiasco. It also hurt in the recruiting department, because of the adverse ·publicity that reached our recruiting areas." The Colonel coach had realistic hopes of playing winning basketball this season but injuries and a holdover bad attitude has hurt the program. When John Zapko went down with a preseason injury, the Colonels just couldn't seem to win. By the time he had returned to the lineup, the attitude was t hat of losing. It _is very difficult to change that attitude once it's cancer has set in. ''I' m disappointed in the way things have gone this year concerning our performance on the court, but the intangibles have been improving," offered Bearde. "It will certainly be a challenge to reconstruct the basketball program at Wilkes. We, both the players and myself, are going to have to work very hard to improve both our basketball and our attitudes. I believe in what I'm doing with the program here so we need players who believe in me as much as I . do." The scheduling Gods have not looked favorably upon the Colonel cause this season, because they not only played the entire first half of their league schedule on the road but they were not home for over 50 days. "We have established a committee to work on getting Wilkes a Christmas basketball tourney next winter. This will help our · program tremendously because it will eliminate the long break. These people are working very hard on making this a reality," commented the coach. It's going to be a long way back, but t he feeling is that the · catastrophes have finally bottomed out. "It's times like these that you discover who_the supporters of your program are. So, perhaps all of this will turn out for the positive in the long run," sais Bearde. "We are playing with a lot of heart and we will continue to do so in the future." But no matter what happens to the basketball program at Wilkes Col_lege, yo1,1 can bet t.hat Rodger Bearde _will endure_it. in for .t'en-y while he was on tne mena.

In the semi-final playoff action in the A LEAGUE, Organizations ran into the Sons of Softee, while Canadian Club walked inot the Outlaws. In the S oftee-Organiza tion battle, Chuck Crawford (who played on the Cuban Olympic cage team in 1976 along with Kenny Hughes' friend Butch Lee) was the hero as he sailed for four fortuante buckets in the closing minutes to give Softee a 59-55' triumph.

Canadian Club coach Mark Rado's brainstorm resulted in a 29-10 halftime deficit, (at least CC held its own score down) and after a more wide opened second half, the Outlaws coasted to a 72-38 romp.

No Extreme Effects Anticipated Due To Decimal Grading System In a recent faculty survey conducted by The Beacon staff it was revealed that approximately 60 percent of the faculty is in favor of the Student Goverment decimal point grading system that will go into effect next semester. A greater majority of _ the faculty questioned, however, indicated that there will be no major effects in grades rising or falling. Calling professors for two days, The Beacon contacted 46 faculty members and divided them into . four areas: the Sciences; the Humanities; the Social Sciences; and the Commerce and Finance department. Each professor contacted was asked if he is in favor of the new decimal point grading system and whether or not grades will rise, fall, or remain the same in his personal grading system. This survey was conduc ted in response to the apparent questions and worries students have on how the faculty will use the grading system. The area most supportive of the new grading system was the Commerce and Finance department with all of the professors contacted in favor of it. Forty percent felt that grades would increase and 20 percent indicated that grades would probably decrease leaving 40 percent feeling that t here will be no change in grade averages. The Humanities area consisting of the English, Music, Foreign Languages, Education, '!nd Art departments showed that 15 percent of the faculty was in fa vor of the new grading system. Fifty percent felt that grades would remain about the same, but over 40 percent indicated that grades would decrease. It was in this ·academic area that the greatest percentage of faculty members felt grades would decline. Less than ten percent felt grades would increase. In the Sciences area, over 60 percent is in favor of the new system, with close to 70 percent feeling that grades would remain about the same. Only 20 percent indicated that grades would decrease and under ten percent said grades would increase. Excluding the Nursing Department and Mathematics faculty which were included in this section, the other sciences, especially biology and chemistry professors, are not in favor of the decimal point system and also feel that grades may decrease. Fifty percent of the faculty in the Social Sciences area is in favor of the grading system with 75 percent expressing no change in grade averages and only 25 percent indicating grades would drop. The overall results show that about 60 percent are in favor with 30 percent against and leaving the last 10 percent with rfo decision one way or another. While conducting the survey some professors offered their perSonal comments and criticisms. Mr. Berg of the History department said "one system is as bad as another; pick your poison." while Mr. DeCosmo of the Math department said "I'm in favor of it because I feel the students are in favor of it." Dr. Bellucci of the Education department stated that he is going to raise his standards for an A from 90 - 100 to 95 - 100 and so on down in response to the new grades. "Research has shown that a 5.0 system (0-4.0) is more reliable than the present system we have adapted." says Bellucci. Dr. Truckenmiller of the Psychology department said "the finer you make the distinction, the greater the chance for error. The present is as discriminate as you can get." Dr. Berryman of the Enviromental Science department described how he will use the new grading system. He said that he will first grade students according to the present system and then go back to give the higher 3.0 students a 3.5 and the higher 2.0 students a 2.5 and so on down. Jim Edwards Pawlush To Fill PR Position George G. Pawlush has been appointed Public Relations Director of the College, succeeding Douglas Rubinstein, who resigned last month. Pawlush, an adjunct English Department professor, will also serve as The Beacon advisor.

Heas advised Circle K for the past nine years and coached the cross country team until last year. In addition to a BS. in Commerce and Finance, he also earned an MS.in education at Wilkes. Pawlush is editor of the " Wilkes-Hahnemann Newsletter," and managing editor of "The Wilkes College Quarterly." He is president and a founder of the Wyoming Valley Striders, former chairman and current advisor to the Cherry Blossom Committee and a ermanent trustee of the Class o 1969.

Pawlush's primary objectives as PR Director are to "establish and maint11,in lines of internal communication, as well as retain P,Xternal contacts," and to mold his own philosophy of public relations, using his own ideas and those of the three directors under whom he has served. "I think of myself as an innovative person," he said, "and I won't be content to simply maintain the status quo." He also prides himself for being close to the students through advising and participating in sports and other activities. 'Tm here because the students are here," he commented. "Without them I wouldn't have a job." Wilma Hurst IDC Council & Student Union Board Disagree Over Party Policy Differences of opinion have arisen between the Student Union Board and the Inter-Dormitory Council on how to throw the annual St. Valentine's Day party in the SUB. In planning for the party, it was the Council's hope to have beer allowed both upstairs · and downstairs which would be something new. Beer has not been allowed upstairs because the Student Union Board wants to protect the ru_g. Before the Council even applied for use of the facility the Board took action on the matter and voted against IDC allowing beer upstairs in a 5-4 vote. Dean Edward Baltruchitis stated at the Student Government meeting Monday night that "it is a matter of written policy." Of the ten-member board, the four who voted in favor of the beer upstairs were the SG, IDC, and CC representatives along with Clint Franklin, the former SUB. director. Among the five who voted against the premature motion were Dean Baltruchitis, Mr: Art Hoover, Student Activities director, and Bob Austin, the current SUB.director. It should be noted that none of the members of the Board are elected. All are appointed in various manners. Tom Bazzini, IDC president, was very disappointed over this issue on three points. First, the Board voted on the issue before IDC applied for use of the SUB . which therefore it could not properly support or defend itself. Secondly, IDC was willing to be responsilbe for the protection of the rug and thirdly, he stated that the Board has been trying to get rid of the rug for years. It was Bazzini's and the Council's intent to create a better party atmo- sphere. "The primary reason why the SUB was set up, was to get the parties out of ·the dorms." said Joe Marchetti, Housing director and IDC advisor. As of Wednesday, Bazzini was trying to reschedule a meeting with the Student Union Board this week to properly discuss this issue.

I have recently proposed that the above American Heritage Dictionary definition change the adjective "deep" to "seeminglybottomless." Then again, even this definition could not adequately describe the condition of roads in Pennsylvania, as _ it appears that the potholes are the actual road marred by intermittent patches of smooth · surface. Only last week I was late for school because I was forced to detour (naturally, the streets were torn up) and consequently was lost for five hours in a newly er,upted pothole. However, t his is not as bad as it sounds; while I was searching for a way out I discovered two Penn-Dot workers huddled together who had long ago given up hope of surviving. Once again ''teamwork" proved to be the solution, as shortly thereafter we spotted a light in the distance. Together we pulled through this traumatic (but quite common) experience. This incident drained my last milliliter of patience, so I decided to initiate a campaign ·· "Down with Potholes."

Pam Long a I ly What do you think of when someone mention$' Mel Brooks? Fond remembrances of "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," or numreous others probably prevail, but wait! Flash! Another one of Brooks creations is currently on the loose! This time "High Anxiety" denotes the creator's collection of comic fantasies and is sure to have howls and giggles rolling around town in no time. Provoked laughter appears Brooks' only intention in writing "High Anxiety." His scheme includes several take-offs on Hitchcock films such as "Psycho," "Vertigo," "Spellbound," and one memorable scene from "The Birds" where Brooks races through a park persued by a flock of pitiless pidgeons who plummet him with more than just a "bad look." SPLAT! As Richard H. Thorndyke, a Harvard-trained fsychiatrist, Brooks is assigned a position at the Psyeho Neurotic nstitute for the "Very Very" Nervous. The spoofs continue as he tries to unravel the strange proceedings going on at the institute. Villainous laughgetters are Harvey Corman, as chicken-livered Dr. Montague who's got "a thing" for the sinister, iron chested and iron handed Nurse Diesel, alias Cloris Leachman. Madeline Kahn P.lays a cool bl_ond assistant to Brooks in solving the mystery and H.ow~rd Mon:i,s portrays a psychiatrist who cures Brooks of his own p_hobia, a "high anxiety" about heights.

The fas~ moving farce is a timeless C?med:>: at once captivating a~d affect10nate.

This meet, however, never came off because Lycoming's swim coach took his team home to Williamsport because he believed that the meet was to take place at 2: 00 that afternoon. Originally, t he meet was at two, but due to Wyoming's use of the sports center the meet was changed to 4: 00 in the afternoon. The change of contract time was handled by Wilkes athletic direct or John Reese by telephone t o t he Lycoming Athletic Office. The problem if' t hat bot h swim team' s had a very short season and the purpose of the meet was to give each team an additional meet. Also, t he Lycoming coach stated t he reaso n for his departure was t hat Lycoming did not have a contract with. Wilkes for t]ili; meet. He also stated t hat it was scheduled for two o' clbck not four. He and his team then packed it in and headed on the journey back to Williamsport. The communications in the Lycoming Athletic .Office should be improved for the sake of convienience of all involved. The coach not only wasted his time by not allowing his team to swim, but Wilkes and Lycoming teams suffered by not having it, the officials didn' t appreciate having an afternoon wasted, and guests at the meet were disappointed. The good news is that this confusion will not stand in t he way of further activity of the two schools. Lycoming' s Athletic Director Dutch Burch arrd John Reese have rescheduled the meet for tomorrow at 2: 00 p.m. at the Wyoming Seminary's pool.

Highly t outed "Stars and Bars," who had out-smoked the "Residual Bongers"' in t heir previous encounter, came into t he contest a slight favorite over "Sofia's Bar and Grill," who had squeaked out a shaky two point win over the Chemistry Club a few days before. Sofia' s, however, grabbed the lead right from the start, and on the strength of Ed Hayduk' s 22 points, held a slight edge going into the final seconds. "Stan and Bars," down by two points with fifteen ticks remaining, went into a press and stole t he ball. Youtze (full name) then drove the left side of the lane only to be fouled as he attempted to shoot. Youtze was injured on the play, however, and 6 foot, 11 inch reserve center Steve " Arm" Bollinger was forced to come off the bench cold and shoot the fouls. " Arm" clutchly sank bot h tosses to send t he game into overtime, but without the high scoring " Yoots," "Stars and Bars" dropped t he hard-fought battle, 57-54. In -other "B" action, the Priapus Puds (Lee Kopieka, 22 pts.) downed " Sleazy AMF" 64-61. Gore Hall (Bill Snakely, 32 pts.) split the Bananas, 60-32, and the Worms (Jack Haffner, 18 pts.) overcame mediocre performa nces by their own Keith and Kevin Augustine t o beat t he Engineering Club, 58-40.

(Chuck "Chi Chi" Crawford repor ted that Softee team members felt t he shirts would help them jump higher.) Surprisingly, the move backfired, and the Polish Falcons used a balanced scor'>1g attack to lick Softee, 76-49. Elsewhere in the "A" league, Snakes (Enzo Ferrara, 14 pts.) outlasted Canadian Club, 54-44, in spite of the fact that Club coach Mark Rado was keeping score. The loss, however, was meaningless to CC as they had already clinched a playoff berth. Ot her teams that also qualified were the Sons of Softee, Organizations, and t he Polish Falcons.

Mike Aed, the Wilkes Athletic Trainer, is concerned about the conditions that exist in the room. "Maintenance was supposed to take care of the existing problems months ago, but they are still here and they are still just as serious. There are four requests that I made to the administration concerning the protection of the equipment and the sanitation of this supposedly sterile room," commented Aed. "The window has been broken into on occasion and that still hasn't been fixed properly. Secondly, the temporary wall that was installed last year is still here and you can take your fingers and pull_the whole thing down. Thirdly, there is only a partial ceiling and that creates a tremendous amount of Qi!St in an area where there shouldn't be any, and finally the walls and ceiling are in need of paint. I have written letters to the administration involved and haven't heard any word on when this work will get done." ' The administration is unified in its policy of taking care of the students needs first, followed by the faculty's, and finally the needs of the administration. But this project is adversely affecting the needs of many of the student-athletes at the college. Marion Jones, head of.the maintenance department, commented, "It's not my decision when this will get done. I'm waiting for the okay from the Business Office." However, Charles Abate in the Business Office, said that the training room maintenance work is a special case and it depends on the availability of men in the maintenance department. The reparations to the wall are Marion's decision but the ceiling will require special discussions between Marion and myself." Andrew Shaw mentioned budget limitations and limited resource as the main cause of the problem. "With 52 buildings on eampus to maintain, we pick the ones that directly affect the living conditions of the students to work on first. We just have to keep our priorities straight." John Reese, the college Athletic Director, claims that things are so bad in the gym that he can't even get the floor swept. No matter whose fault it is for the existance of these problems, they 'cannot be ignored and they will not go away themselves. There is $7300 worth of equipment unprotected in the Training Room. · That fact remains. Bowlers Start Second Half Of Season The Wilkes College Bowling Club started its second half schedule.

The former ~ord was Bearde Draws 3 T's In Lycoming Loss The Wilkes College basketball team has to be the most exciting 4-11 (as of Tuesday) collegiate cage team in the country. The basketball Colonels have already been in three overtime contests, one going the route -of four OT's. And now, in last Saturday's 69-63 come ba!!k from ahead loss to Lycoming, Wilkes followers were treated to the magic of Al McGuire, Bobby Knight, and Tom Heinsohn rolled into one in the person of Coach Rodger (The Dodger?) Bearde. · First of all, Bearde got three technical called on him in the loss. Here is how it happened: Bearde, 1;1pset over a foul called on junior John Zapko on a rebound WI th 4: 21 left to play, protested to officials Frank Terwilliger and Joe Tesori. He was slapped with a "T" seconds after t he call was made. Bearde, who swears as much as Gene Domzalski who does it as much as Pope Paul, explains,"! stood up_ and yelled'. 'I don't believe it,' and he hit me with the first one. There was no swearing, I never swear." Usually an official will give a warning or tell the coach to sit down before he gives the technical, but not this crew. Niether Lycoming' s coach or Bearde had protested anything prior to the call on Zapko. Why did the.refs call the T's so fast? Nobody has the answer, but an interesting fact is Wilkes shot only-15 foul shots that night, while Lycomfog countered with 30 free throws, making 25 good. After the first "T", Bearde called a time-out. He was then informed that a 2nd technical had been given to him. It was in questioning the 2nd T, that he received the third technical. Of all the T's called, he really only deserved the third, but that never should have happened because of the first two. Lycoming converted all six free-throws to give them a five-point lead and eventially a six-point win. Wilkes was supposed to meet Elizabethtown on Monday, but the game was rescheduled for this Monday at Elizabethtown. As of early Wednesday morning, the Colonels long-awaited meeting with Scranton University at the John Long Center was still on. No matter what the result of the game, or sh'ould we say war, was, the Rock and RoH Royals of Coach Bob Bessior, will be at the South Franklin Street gymon Feb. 14 to meet Wilkes at 8: 15 in a rematch. Although the game will be on the evening of Valentine's Day, there will be no love shared in the gym that night. It will be more like the St. Valentine's Day massacre, with hopefully the Blue and Gold trumping the Royals with a flush. TIP-INS: Scranton University's basketball press guide calls Bessior the Al Maguire [notice spelling, it should read, McGuire] of small cc;,llege basketball. You would think, after they call themselves the "finest basketball progn..m in Division III in the nation," they would at least spell the name of last year's NCAA Division I national champion Marquette Warriors head mentor's name right, but I guess thats the way its done up at "Duh U." ... Some interesting dates for Colonel cage followers: Feb. 14, Scranton, home; Feb. 16, Elizabethtown, home; Feb. 18, Junita, home; and Feb. 20, Bloomsburg, home..... Wilkes 15 game stats show John Zapko as only Col9nel in double figures with a 18.7 scoring average..ZAP, who has played only eight games leads the team in points scored .....cheerleaders have drastically improved since last home showing, their up to a B- now..... Mark Rado is doing a heck of a job for the Wilkes basketball team as a manager, problem is nobody knows what he is supposed to do. Eddie White ~ set by All-Time great Jim Weisenfluh, 27-0, in 1974. Gregrow also holds the Wilkes record for tbe fastest pin as he once clamped an opponent in only 8 seconds. Danny House followed Gregrow's performance with the only Colonel pin of the evening, showing Wester Ware where the lights were. Bryan Billig continued his winning ways by scoring a major decision over Steve Darling, 14>. Three of the remaining Colonel victories were three point decisions that were racked up -by Ed Johnson, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs. Casper Tortella won his bout by · default. Greg MacLean, Joe Napoli, and Dan Miner were dealt the only Wilkes defeats. Napoli and Miner were filling in for regulars Alex Grohol and Gene Clemons. Grohol is out with a separated shoulder and Clemons was resting a sore back. The Colonels continued to win on the road as they stretched their overall record to 100 with an exciting win over a tough Hofstra squad on Saturday. Gene Clemons, back in the lineup after a back injury, sparked the Reesemen to the 23-12 conquest. His 17-3 superior decision over Pat Mortorello iced the match for the Colonels. Wilkes held a slim 15-9 lead going into . Clemons' bout. The Colonels ran into a little trouble in the lightweights, dropping two of the first three matches. Bryan Billig was the only victorious lightweight as he posted a 14} win. Both Ed Johnson and Pat O'Callaghan were handed three-point defeats. However, the middle weights came through for the Colonel cause as Casper Tortella, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs all won. Dens berger' s v.ictory was a pin over highly-respected Zelik Zeigelbaum at 150 Greg MacLean continued in his slump, losing a close 4-3 decision. After Clemon' s big win, Dave Gregrow was dealt his first loss of the season by top-notch grappler Aurelio Balianau, 8-1. Danny House mopped up with an 8-2 win in the heavyweight category. The Colonels s~ k to keep their winning streak alive tomorrow when they travel to West Point to take on Army and Massachusetts at 2:00. They continue their marathon road stand with a match against Bucknell on Tuesday. The meet with East Stroudsburg that was postponed due to the snow storm has yet to be rescheduled.

Lisman appointed Atty. R. McFadden to represent the council in a preliminary meeting which was followed by the mooting with the Parking Authority.

The council also hoped to keep the former . system of the 12 dollar monthly parking sticker · in addition to the new policy, but that also was rejected. DeRobertis noted that one of the reasons the new policy was approved was that the Parking Authority was very pleased with the cooperation given by Wilkes iitudents to the many people who had trouble during the recent snow emergencies.

Vincent Price �I ' PAGE 2, TlIE BEACON, FEBRUARY 3, 1978 Winter Weekend Had Its Ups And Downs ... "Isn't life just one struggle... .----------Review _________, 'Incident At Vichy' Was Fine Performance Gunshot. And then a meaningful silence suspended like the Nazi flags costuming the SUB during last week's performances of "Incident at Vichy." Sensitively directed by Leo Gambacorta, the meaningfulness of Arthur Miller's play was captured and executed not only through the actors' lines, but through the language of their bodies, and through sile~ces as emblematic of Nazism as the Swatl{a. The cool businessman's impatient thumb rubbing against his fingers; the groping, fumbling hands of the painter ; the trembling of the meticulous fingers of Monceau; the . cautiously nervous hands of the doctor and the electrician; the Prince's empathetic hands twisting his rings about his fingers; and the old Chassidic Jew 's patient hands grasping God in his tallith. On stage, hands spoke the tension underlying each line of the play. In the audience, hands responded to a feeling broken only by applause. Asthetic distance was purposefully comprised by this feeling for the Jew, or for any victim unable to believe, yet afraid not to believe, that he is the victim. Separated only by a few feet and a degree of light, the audience and the actors waited together for a fate always known, but still questioned. Qµestion, fear, doubt, resistance, passivity-all were characterized spontaneously in the hands, voices and physiognomies of the players. Ro~rt S. Fabbrini his countenance qwvuniform and the soul of a man, emotionally portrayed a major who was wounded physically and mentally, but was anesthetized by the bottle. Monceau's articulate assuredness THE-HUT at Hotel Sterling Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches was passionately denied in the expressive eyes of John Forte. Randy Smith the doctor, roused a spirit unwilling to be the roach "stepped on in the dark. " As Lebeau, Richard Cutler's body trembled with utterances of frustration. Effective. Powerful. Moving. All individual performances were directed by precise, unawavering charac. terizations. Cue 'N' Curtain's presentation of "Incident at Vichy" lived the meaning of fine performance. Lynn Sare Happiness, like swimming, is a learning process. This year's Winter Weekend can only be described as having its ups and downs. Some of the · activities went over nicely while others didn't even get off the ground. It was for t hose people who participated, however, that enjoyed themselves. The Square dance on Friday night started the weekend off with a real bang. About 200 students attended, participated, and enjoyed the music _of Red Jones. This band is even being considered by Commuter Council for their Clam Bake in the spring. On Saturday, the volleyball tournament received a greater turnout over last year's and was very organized. The one problem which kept many teams idle for some long periods of time was t hat there was only two nets set up versus the three nets utilized last year. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, even the little wrestling runts who ran circles around the tournament. The winning team was the Legatto II who received the grand prize of $50. · The Tug of War contest was also successful and' the winning team which walked away with a case of beer was the powerful team from the Hotel Sterling. · The Commuter Council team won the Round Robin activity by just showing up. CC members were very proud of themselves and boasting "we had the best time ." This obstacle course event could have received more involvement if it was held on the river comons or in the lot next to · the gym instead of Ralst,on field. The Bavarian Festival that night was poorly attended with about 110 people who were in and out throughout the whole night. It seems that most people did not realize what type of party it was and what kind of food it had to offer. It was reported that there was a lot of good food left over. On Sunday, the remaining Winter Weekend spirit seem to fizzle out as the Bingo in the cafeteria and the Perry Leopold concert were also poorly attended. The ice skating that night, however, ended t he weekend on a good note as over 200 people took to the ice. Kim Dubosky and John Senatore, Winter Weekend chairman, deserve mention of their many hours of work, time and effort into the annual affair. With the exception of Round Robin, all the activities were well organized and ran smoothly. It was only up to the student to take advantage of them. Jim Edwards ...after another'! .. "Let's hump!".

In related business, Diane Marcinko, CC treasurer, wa nted to clarify a poiI).t that has seem to confuse some parents and students. Students who purchase Park & Lock mont hly stickers for February, which .will be t he last mont h to do so (See related story), can not, repeat, can not park t heir cars in the Boston Store or Lazarus parking lots free Plans for the three bus trips sponsored by Commuter Council were finalized at the meeting Monday afternoon. Tickets have been ordered and bus reservations have been made to see a 76er's basketball game, a New York Yankees baseball game, and a weekend fling in New York City. T he fi rst t rip has been scheduled for S unday, where t he 76er' s will play against the Seattle Super Sonics. A bus ·will leave Wilkes-Barre at 10 a.m. for t he 2 p.m. game. Tickets for the trip have been on sale in t he Commons and Cafeteria all t his week and price per person is $14. The bus is limited to 42. Cue 'N' Curtain is co-sponsoring the weekend trip to New York with t he council. John Griff th, a member of both organizations, announced that tickets for the trip go on sale Monday in t he Commons from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The weekend is Feb. 24, 25, and 26 and reservations have been made at the Abbey Victoria Hotel which is located wery close to the theater district in the city. Tfte cost per person is $34 which includes room, bus fare, and tips. This trip is only limited to 42 people too. Tickets have been ordered for the New York Yankees game on April 15 against the Chicago White Sox, t he second home game of t he season for t he Yankees. Tickets for this bus trip will be available in the nearfuture and Louie DeRobertis, CC president, indicated that more than one bus may be planned allowing more students to go. "I've already been told that one whole dorm wants to go down." said DeRobertis. For further information on any of t hese trips, students should contact any Commuter Council member. Under other council matters, it was brought to the council's attention that parking over at the Temple lot has become a real problem. Because of the snow, the regular 40 space lot now has only room for 30 cars. DeRobertis also mentioned that just because a student received a parking of charge. Park & Lock stickers are only good at Park & Lock South located across from the old Gj ant Supermarket. Under old business, DeRobertis wanted to blast the Housing · Office for allowing Bedford Hall to have a party the same night of t he Bavarian Festival in the Commons ·during Winter Weekend. Bedford Hall's party hurt the . attendance at the festival which resulted as eing unsuccessful. ';I'his is t he second time t he H ousing Office has given a dorm permission for a party which would compete against a Student Goverment activity. Jim Edwards It, was decided at the InterDormitory Council meeting on Sunday night that Commuter Council · President, Louie DeRobertis, should be a voting member of IDC from now on. The reason for this is that IDC President Tom Bazzini, is a voting mem ber of Commuter Council. Bazzini discussed the situation of student-advisor relationships.

Do you know why you don't have a leg to stand on?; it's because your feet are in your mouth. You said my description of Sha Na Na was "totally prejudiced and narrow-minded", allow me to quote Mr. Randy Smith, a noted entertainer and graduate of Wilkes College, who attended the first Sha Na Na concert at Wilkes, "The best part of the Sha Na Na concert was David Fryes warm-up".

For what the prom·oters refer to as "college concert price" I can obtain various well reputed jazzy bands, Bruce Springsteen, and others, not to mention greatly talented local bands like "Ralph". Let me now clarify two points from my Dec. 9th ·article, which you excessively misconstrued; by offering Fleetwood Mac and the Taylor Brothers as possibilities I did not mean an evening of gQ.od music, not a hybrid of punk-rock and bubblegum.

Shake, a fumbled role by Kristofferson, resolves to convert Barbara Jane to the mystical, unexplainable BEAT prior to their marriage. What follows is a 48-hour seminar in which B.J. (Barbara .. Jane) takes. part, only to find that Billy Clyde has done the same. These two just can' t Seem t o penetrate BEAT and so decide to punt. OJ' Shake senses that .Barbara Jane hasn't got "IT" and their marriage ends up a stalemate with a disaster-at-the-altar scene included. Obviously Billy Clyde, who also has a bad case of ''Barbara Jane," should have been the groom. Contrary to Kristofferson, who plays a droll role as though it must be droll, is the Mean Machine, reincarnated Billy Clyde Puckett. This time Burt Reynolds , instead of being mean on the field, is mean in the bedroom, get the drift? As usual, Billy Clyde will do anything for a one-nighter resulting in his seduction of a really "big" woman under the pretense that big women have " big feelings.' ' The scene is immediately .harsh as well as cruel. Kristof!erson pulls offsides with his announcement to Reynolds of his intentions to marry B.J. The incident takes place in a john where Billy Clyde has retired to compose his novel about the team. This s~ene is also one which enables Reynolds to walk away with the 1 10vie and proves his talent as a successful comedian. Barbara Jane, who comes on as a rough-ta lking, profane playgirl, doesn't seem to have " IT" in more ways than one. Not a real woman at all, B.J. seems rather a little toss-about, inept in the role she attempts to portray. Robert Preston, . her big-talking, rich daddy, finds it peculiar that his daughter lives with two football players but doesn't sleep with them, "it ain't natural" he concludes. Preston might have done better as the perpetrator of BEAT as he delivers sermons rather than dialogue. His daughter might perhaps have made it big as a showy Dallas cheerleader rather than as the male-controlling dictator she apparently is not. The Miami team inevitably wins the Super Bowl as they've got Billy Clyde and Shake on their side, naturally. Besides the team, the real winner in the movie is Reynolds. -He seems the only one with any genuine ability is his type-ca.s t role, and the true hero, of a movie which might continue to lose yardage as a real success. 0 NOTICE Cue 'n' Curtain is sponsoring a pizza sale today in the SUB .from · 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to l a.m. Deliveries will be made.

That was the story when the Phillies Caravan visited the college campus on Wednesday morning. The Annual Phillies W'tnter press caravan put on a showing at the CPA for the benefit of the students and faculty of Wilkes as well as the general public. The stop was sponsored by the Wilkes baseball team under the direction of coach Gene Domzalski. One dollar was charged by the club with the funds going into the Wilkes Baseball Fund. They will probably be used toward financing the Southern Swing. " That trip down South every year is really important to our club," stated Domzalski. "This, coupled with the profits from t he parking lots and the raffle tickets will just about cover our expenses." The gath!)ring had a press conference format at t he beginning with Wilkes students serving on t he panel. Doreen Swiatek (who looks a lot better in Larry Christiansen's jersey t han he doesl. Bill Hocken bury, Eddie White, and myself were t he members of t he questioning panel. Topics such as: women in t he lockerroom; P hillies trade rumors; what players do in the clubhouse during a rain delay; and the effect of Polish meat on power hitting were among the many discussed. Phillies players Greg Luzinski, Bob Boone, and Tim McCarver as well as Manager Danny Ozark, General Manager Paul Owens, Bill Giles, and Phillies Announcer Harry Kalas were in attendance. After the press conference, the film titled "Unfinished Business" was shown. It depicted the Phillies 1977 season as well as their committment to the future of the club. After the program, several of the personalities were available in the lobby for an autograph session. THE JACOBS JINGLE- Seeing Denny jacobs back on the Wilkes mats again has to be sweet music for Wilkes wrestling mentor John Reese. The outstanding sophomore has been hit by the iniury bug-a-boo both this season and last. His return to the lineup ena~led Petry Lichtinger to rest his knee and it also fortifies the depth of the middle of the Colonel lineup. Just don't mention "shoulder" to Denny and he'll be singing thl;l jingle.

The see-saw battle saw Wilkes take a 46-38 half-time lead, only to be outscored 56-40 in the second period. , The game started badly for the Colonelettes, as Del Val took the tapoff, scored, recovered a Wi'. kes turnover and scored again, leaving the Blue and Gold down by four before they even attempted to shoot. The cagers battled back, however, and the action took on a fast pace that was to characterize the whole game. Obviously not a defensive battle, both teams scored almost at will, but Wilkes' t urnovers hurt the Colonelettes, especially in t he first half. Excellent defensive plays were often for nought, as the cagers gave up the ball before scoring, due to bad passes and violations. The full-court press, which in the past has proved to be an effective weapon for Wilkes, stopped Del Val only for a short time. Before long the Colonelettes failed t o execute the play well, and Del Val found out how to break j t after their initial surprise wore off. It was then relatively easy for them to score against an unprepared, short-handed defense. Wilkes and:Del Val continued to exchange baskets and the -lead during the first period, until the Coloneletts' pulled out in front by 12. Del Val had time for only _a short comeback before the half ended with Wilkes ahead by eight. The second half seemed a repeat of the first and the Colonelettes held on to their lead for about half of the period. However, mistakes again plagued the team. Turnovers continued to hurt the offense, and fouls soon became critical. Wilkes fouled out one player, and three others finished with four, but the real damage came a t the Del Val foul line. Blessed with a bonus situa tion early in the half, the opposition sent t heir best shooter consistently to t he line. Wilkes' 29 fouls gave Del Va. 36 shots, and they capitalized on 22 of them, 16 at critical moments in the second half Del Val tied the game ·and then proceeded to slowly but surely build their own lead. Wilkes' comeback efforts were again hampered by fouls and turnovers, and the cagers watched their eight point half-time lead turn into an eight point win for Del Val. Three \Yilkes cag~rs hit double figures in the losing effort. Diane Kendig, now averaging 22.4 points per game, scored 26, while Mary Jo Frail bit her season high with 20 and Gloria Pasternick added 16. The Colonelettes, now 2-6, played Susquehanna at home Wednesday , their first home game in 53 days. Results were not availabltl at press time. Wilkes takes on Muhlenberg tonight at Muhlenberg, and will play Lycoming tomorrow at 6 p.m. at home. · . RIM SHOTS -- While only three players hit double numbers during the Del Val game, everyone "shot" double figures on the way home ... coin collecting will soon be a favorite hobby with team members, but the collection will be limited to quarters ... Karen Olney and Mary Jo Frail will be out to defend their tag team air hockey title when the team travels to Delaware Valley for the MAC tournament ... Lynn Yedlock, who sprained an ankle doing what she called a " Dr. J rebound," will soon be back in the lineup ... the Colonelettes are averaging 67. 75 points per game, but the opposition is averaging 79.25. However, the first four games of the "second season," all away games, have seen the Blue and Gold averaging 75.5 ... maybe the plays should have names rather than numbers because when you have people who say, "69 or 96, it's all the same," you could have problems ... how about having plays like, "low spade, high diamond and all sixes?" ... at least the girls have their hearts in the right places -- they all wanted to "give Diane Kendig a hand" ... Nancy Johnson, Mary Jo Frail and Karen Olney are all in the running for the "Beat the Bench" best-dressed award, although Karen's claiming she'& ahead by a.sti~kpin and a handkerchief ... and finally, Karen Smith asked to be mentioned. Wilma Hurst Two Out ·O f Three ·Ain't Bad Last Wednesday, the Wilkes College Swimming Team defeated Lycoming, 56-47. The 400 free relay was almost a breeze for the Wilkes unit as they picked up another first place to put in their hat. This unit consists of Tony Pinto, Jim Edwards, Jeff Jones, and Kevin Augustine. One person in the MAC who strikes fear in the hearts of her opponents is Cindy Glawe. Cindy is an MAC diving champ and if all goes well, she may well take honors again this season. · 1twas an excellent all out effort for the Wilkes team and coach Ken Turley must be happy for this first victory of the season in the MAC. . .Wilkes tallied three first places, eight second places, and six third places against Lycoming. In the tri-meet on Saturday, Wilkes hosted Western Maryland and Jersey City at the King's College pool. Western Maryland won the meet with a total of 87 points. Wilkes finished second with 72 and Jersey City limped in with a total of only 12 team points. If Wilkes' Rollie Schmidt and Chip Eaton feel they have trouble winning at the beginning of the season, they should pray that they never have Jersey City's coach Ed Delbert's luck. Coach Delbert stated while his team was getting skunked, " This season I thought we would have a fair to good team with the talent that we had availible t o us. But so far. I have lost a diving coach because · of a salary dispute, two divers because of the diving coach leaving, and two excellent swimers because of ineligibility; one had academic problems and the other didn' t turn in a football jersey. Can you believe That?" Before the meet J ersey City was 0-9, and Western Maryland 2-4. Both of these teams have their own facilities. In this meet, Wilkes took command in the 400 IM right from the start as they defeated two Western Maryland teams. Jersey City had no entry in this event nor in many of the others to follow because they only had three swimmers on the entire team. John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Tony Pinto, and Bill Manley were the members of this victorious team. In the 100 yard freestyle, Wilkes Jeff Boberick broke the ice as he became the only swimmer on the Wilkes team to pick up a first place over Western Maryland. · Kevin Augustine of Wilkes just narrowly missed a first place by a stroke in the 200 yard back stroke. The 500 free style was won by Rick Benitz of W.M., but Wilkes swimmers Boberick and Betsy Iscovitz did not give it to Benitz on a silver platter. The 200 breast stroke event was won by another Wes tern Marylander, Jim Tarr. Jim Edwards nnd Rob Doty finished second and third for Wilkes with strong showings. · 'l'he 400 relay was an instant replay of the Lycoming meet as Wilkes' Pinto, Jones, Augustine, and Edwards defeated Western Maryland's entry.

The Colonels were away from home so long, they forgot where the showers are. Photo by Bob Gaetano The Son of Softee, after an opening defeat at the hands of Organizations, have gotten rolling and are now very serious contender -for the IM crown. Their 3-1 log to date has inspired , previously apathetic students around campus to become caught up in what guard Bob "Boog" Brezinski calls "The greatest thing since toilet paper," SOFTEE-MANIA. Bruce DougljlS, one of the original Sons of Softee, (the team originated in 1974 when Bruce was a junior) reports that sales of Softee memorabilia have already surpassed those of the "I am not a loser" buttons which Bob Owens was selling at this time a year ago. In their latest win, Rich Abrams, Greg Wild and Brezinski all scored in double figures as Softee stalled the Jets, (Dave Dudick, 19 pts.) 55-51. Another team challenging the still undefeated "Organizations" is Canadian Club, whose recent turnaround has been marked by a pair of two point wins. The first victory was over the Humdinger's (John Cavanaugh, 21 pts.) in rP.al ripsnorter, 51 -49, with Carl Holsberger leading the balancoo scoring attack with 16. The latest cvictim was the Jets, who, despite a 25 point outburst by Ken Sickler were nipped by the Club, 67-65. Canadian Club Coach Mark Rado, who has come to be called "The Great Guy" due to his . hilarious sideline antics during games, told reporters that "The absence of Bob Ausura from our line-up has definitely been a plus for us, and the other reason for our success of late is that we never shoot unless we have the ball." In other " A" league action, league leading scorer "Pistol" Pete Cosgrove (25 ppg.) went one above his average (which adds up to 26 if you're counting) to lead the Bombers (3-1) over Priapus, 67-51. In the "B" league, the Buckaroos have emerged to challenge top ranked "Stars & Bars." The Bucks were taking no prisoners as .they crushed the Harriers, 74-34.

Jet guard Scott Kendig feels that "Our inability to score more points than our opponents has been a big reason for our thus far dreary season." Indeed, after an easy opening night win, the Jets went on the snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in their next three games, displaying new ways to blow halftime leads in each of them. It appears., though, that the Jets have the firepower to pull it together, and could be the Cinderella team once play,offs begin ... Here's a --R_artial score, Polish Falcons -- 61. .. In a meeting earlier this week, league officials were informed that the player on the Gore Hall basketball team had voted unanimously to fire their head coach, Dave Yakaitis.

Winter Festivities To Begin Tonight Once again it is time for "Winter Weekend" - That infallible cure for the mid-winter blahs which have reached epidemic proportions in our area. Festivities begin Friday evening with a Square Dance from 9 p.m. to 12.a.m. in the gym. The music will be provided by Red Jones. Based on grace, poise, movement and timing, the teams will be judged throughout the evening and the winning team will be awarded with a case of beer (the brand of beer has been skillfully chosen by Kim Dubosky and John Senatore- co-chairman of Winter Weekend). Saturday's activities will begin with the volleyball tournament which will take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the gym. A grand prize of $50 will be awarded to the winning team of this event. Immediately following the volleyball tournament will be a Tug 0 War contest which will be held in the lot adjacent to the gym. The winning team (or the team with the most pull - depending on how one wishes to look at it) will be justly awarded with a case of beer (this is apparently a popular prize; the co-chairmen are probably •relying .on the amber fluid as a strong incentive to involve the Wilkes students with the Winter Weekend activities). The next event is the "Round Robin" which will be held at 2 p.m. at Kirby para. This menagerie of winter olympics closely parallels the makeup of the television game, show "Almost Anything Goes." The teams, whose members must consist of two males and two females, will compete in a series of events such as "Traying" and a five-legged race. Posters and further information will be available at Kirby Park on Saturday. The winning team will receive (you guessed it!) a case of beer. Note: To the rlismay of the co-chairman, and Ult: relief of an . anonymous pig, the "Pin The Pig" event scheduled for Saturday afternoon has been cancelled due to the uncoopErative attitude of the pig. Saturday evening there will be a wrestling meet in the gym starting at 8 p.m. This day marks John Reese's 25th anniversary as wrestlio.g coach. A Bavarian festival will be held in the Commons after .he wrestling meet. Plenty of good food will be available for a small admission fee . of 50 cents with a Student I.D. card ($1 for aliens). Ice skating from 10:30 a.m. col"tinued on p. 3 ' ! ~,~ !pil!!,~w~T of the Student Government Teacher Evaluation forms will be starting in the next couple weeks. The Evaluation forms, which were mailed to all students at the end of last semester, were designed to aid students in selecting courses at registration. Although the total number of responses has not been counted, Carl Holsberger, SG president, roughly estimated a 60-70 percent response from students who did receive the forms. Holsberger noted some students, specifically those students who live in off-campus apartments, did not receive their forms since SG only has their home addresses and not their local ones. He added that some dorm students never received their forms because of failing to pick up their mail. The Teacher Evaluation forms consisted of 26 questions pertaining to the teacher, the course, the textbook and laboratory, if applicable. Students were asked to answer these questions on a scale of 0-5 with O representing "not applicable" and 5 -- "very much so." There were also four overall questions, which students were asked to answer with "yes" or Hno." A sample of the questions include: "The instructor demonstrates a formal and up to date knowledge of the topic;" "The instructor has an interesting style of presentation;" "The instructor· presents an organized syllabus to the class stating course goals, NOfICE CARS P A RKED I LLEGA LLY IN WILKES L OfS WI LL BE T I C K E T ED B EG I NNIN G MON DAY. ~ ~ ~ ~ ! ~ !! . dq u ~ ~ ~ --lso ~ taking a " Exams are adequately spaced total average for all questions. : hroughout the semester" and Holsberger explained the "Assignments are related to the scores will be obtained using a goals of the course." computer program, w~ic}l is to be The overall questions were: written by Holsberger and Steve · " This course is among the best I Kirschner. · ·_ have taken at Wilkes;" "I The exact manner of publishing consider my instructor to be the results for each professor and among the top 10 percent at each course has not beeh decided Wilkes;" "I thought the material as yet. presented in this course was Holsberger COITI!Jlentecl that interesting" and "I have dropped the published results' would have this course." a separate listing ~~r each course Scores for each professor and taught by a specifJc pf()fessor. eac~ course will be obtained by The total average score for that takrng the average result for each continued on p. 2 Debate Union Breaks 20-year Win Record F~ ilie first time ~~et~ 1950s the College's all-time winning debate record has been soundly broken. This year's Debate Union broke the 20 year record of 30 victories for one academic year "in just one semester, as it rolled up 35 major victories . The old record fell this past week when the Union members traveled Lu Towson State University, Baltimore, Md., to compete in the 7th A nnual H .L. Memken Forensic con test. Neither six inch snow nor ice storms stopped the forensic team from getting to Baltimore and competing in this high-powered tournament. For two days Wilkes challenged the national fo r ensic leaders in stiff competition. When the final results were tabulated Wilkes was unquestionably the second place overall winner,finis hing behind nationally- ranked Ohio Unive-sity and well ahead of such schools as George SG Members Show Disapproval With New Academic Proposals Dave Evans, Student Government's academic committee chairman, reported at Monday night's SG meeting that several new proposals are going to be considered by the faculty acadm1ic standing committee. Most SG representatives were discontent with most of the proposals and are going to challenge them. One of the main arguments cited by the body against the proposals was stupidity. The first proposal mentioned by Evans was that Dr. Charles B. Reifs (Biology department) proposal to give the student a numerical number from O to 100 on his report card along with his regular grades is going before the committee again. Evans, however, mentioned that "it doesn't stand murh of a ehance.'-' Also being considered is that "no student may drop a course to audit it unless it is within the first week of the semester." Currently, students can drop to audit a course up to the tenth week. Withdrawal from classes after the tenth Weffi may become tougher if this next proposal is past. Students will have to seek permission from his or her advisor. instrU"tor and dean. It will also be evident on the transcript that the student withdrew after the tenth week with permission by the symbol WP. The length of withdrawing from courses is being considered. Under the prop~al a student may withdraw no later than the first seven weeks as compared -to the present 10 week deadline. Student Goverment wants to challenge this proposal on the grounds that it is simply to early for a student to decide whether to drop from a course or not. The · last proposal Evans mentioned was that the minimum G.P.A.'s for academic probation may be raised as follows: Freshmen: 1.4 to 1.8; Soph- omores: 1.7 to 1.9, J uniors: 1.8 to 2.0 and to grad uate: 1.85 to 2.0. M0st SG members feel the freshmen change is to big of a • jump and should be challenged. Evans noted that all these proposals came out of a subcommittee of the faculty academic committee and he feels that most of the proposals were drafted in response to the new grading policy which will intro. duce three new grades, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 into the present system. If the faculty academic committee approves of any of the proposals they still must go before the entire faculty for a final decision. In other business, a replacement has been appointed to fill the post vacated by sophmore Bill Keba. Diane Cimakosky was introduced to the boay and has served on SG in the past. Concerning the survey which SG is going to conduct on the Placement Office to seniors, it continued on p. 3 Washington University, James Madison, George Mason University, Shippensburg, and the host institution, Towson State. In addition to its fine second place overall honor, the Debate Union also picked up nine individual victories. Leading the unit toward its record-breaking performance were Captain David Evans am:l Marcia Stratton. Both these speakers had the unique honor of tying with one another as the fifth best overaff speaker (out of a field of 125 contestants) for the tournamen l Wilkes' awards were as follows: first place in Original Persuasive Discourse; secon d place in Impromptu-Exterporaneous Speaking; three third place finis hes in Informative Competition, Impromptu Salesmanship and in humorous After-Dinner Rhetoric; fourth in Salesmanship; and fifth in Radio Announcing. To top off all this, the group also qualified six more slots for competition in the National Championship Individual Events · Tournament to be held at Monmouth College in April. The Union now has 17 slots qualified and will have one of the larger delegations at the national event. With a full semester still ahead, this year's squad hupes to set a record that will stand for another 20 years. Other members who contributed to the recent win were Ann Sharkey, Davida Roberts and Theresa Mazich. The Wilkes Debate Union is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Speech Division. 1 ()n The Cover Winter storms may be a nuisance when it comes to driving to school every day or trying to extract your car from a stubborn snow drift, but it also proves to be a particularly beautiful time of the year.

Provides Academic Opportunities Act 101/Phoenix Progrant Now In Its Second Year The ACT 101 -- Operation Phoenix Program at Wilkes is in its second year of existence, but many do not know its functions. The goal of ,ACT 101 is to provide the opportunity for low-income and inadequately prepared students to obtain a college education. The students must show a motivation to succeed with the help of counseling, tutoring and financial assistance provided by the program. ACT 101 programs are available to male and female, . young and old, and in 53 institutions throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Students do not have to be right out of high school to be elig'ible, for example, some of the ACT 101 students are married housewives in their 30s. ACT 101 participants must be resident of Pennsylvania and must be admitted as full-time students to the postsecondary degreegranting institution. Wilkes ACT 101 is headed by Dr. George Siles and is located at Ross Hall, 251 South River s treet. To provide personal counseling in college life or social problems are Mary Poremha and Lynn Johnson. Tutors can provided for any ACT 101 students having problems in his selected courses. The coordinator of the math, science, and business areas is Dave Wasilewski. The coordinator of the social sciences and humanities is Mary Kane. Each ACT 101 student is assigned a personal advisor from the program's staff. Some of the students presently participating in the program have formed a council to meet once a month in order to communicate with the staff any developments of prob. lems that may arise. The ACT 101 student council welcomes other program students to join ~the group. In ·addition to the program during the academic year, a summer program is offered. The six-week program concentrates on academic improvements and a gerieral orientaion to college life. The Wilkes Phoenix program welcomes all interested persons to contact Ross Hall for more information. · IDC Office To. Be Open At Least 2 Hours Daily . I IDC president, Tom Bazzini, said that the IDC office in the lobby of PickEring Hall will be open at least two hours daily for students to come with any problems, complaints or suggestions. The hours when someone will be there will be posted on the door. Concerning parking stickers, students should be a ware that the fact that they had a sticker last semester does not insure them of getting one this semester. Anyone wishing to get a parking sticker should fill out an application and turn it in at the IDC office. Ten stickers will be held by IDC temporarily for those who have any problems with getting their applications in. It was announced that the Student Union Board wishes to take the change machine, which IDC is in charge of, from the lobby of Pickering Hall and move it to the SUB. IDC .voted unanimously to keep the machine where it is. Ba_zzini made the suggestion that more students attend the meetings of the food and maintenance committees as this will make it possible to get more done. The times and days which these meetings will be held for the semester have not yet been designated. At the next IDC meeting a new recording secretary will be elected. Also. from now on someone from ::>tudent Goverment an.d Commuter Council will attend IDC meetings. Joe V. Cribari I , Connie will also be trainer for the Women' s Valley ball Team. Kath-y, who serves as a Red Cross volunteer and as a member of a few Red Cross committees, also works in the College library. Although they were not originally suppose to be roommates, Connie and Ka thy decided it would be convenient if they shared a dorm · room . Connie noted that "it was msier to get along with someone you already knew." Plus, she added, it made sharing of personal belongings ali ttle easier. Connie and Kathy share an interest in medicine, which started their freshman year of high school. Both hope to attend med school either next year as part. of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program or after their graduation from Wilkes. The twins commented that they are often asked whether they are sisters. Both dislike being asked how it feels to be a twin. "I don't think there's another one of me. I can't stand to be thought of being the same person," noted Connie. Both explained they are very different from each other. But, added Kathy, "You can have alot of fun with it (being twins)." Freysinger Earns Ph. D. Janine Pokrinchak From Massachusetts U.

Market St, ~ Wilkes-Barre �PAGE 4, THE BEACON, JANUARY 27, 1978 I Cancellation Applauded We applaud the decision of college officials to cancel classes last Friday, when snowfall resulted in hazardous driving conditions in the area. We believe that such action was necessary in order to assure the safety of the hundreds of §tudents and faculty members who must drive along miles of treacherous roads to reach the campus. During weather conditions like those of last week, even a person who travels only a few miles to school is faced with a dangerous and un. necessary situation. Although Wilkes has had the reputation for remaining open during conditions which close other area institutions, it is a relief to see that the safety of the student and faculty body is of primary importance in the minds of college officials. . However, we must also remember that classes were held last Wednesday, also a day when driving conditions were hazardous , and when state officials advised against unnecessary travel. The day before, the presidents of Student Government, Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council met with President Capin to request that he consider canceling both Tuesday's evening session and day classes on Wednesday. Although night classes' were called off, students found that they were expected to attend classes as usual on Wednesday . If the letters we received immediately afterwards are any indication, students were not pleased with the decision: to say the least. Road conditions that day were just as serious, if not more so, than they were two days later. Reportedly, Wilkes was the only area college to remain open throughout the d'ay. We do not know if student reaction to the college' s refusal to close the school last Wednesday affected the decision-making process that again went into operation on Friday, but we think that college officials could not help but take a second look at the situation when the area was again blanketed with snow. We realize that the decision to close the college is not one which should be made hastily or unnecessarily, but we are happy to see that it will be made when the safety of its students and faculty is at stake. Disg~untled Commuters ~peak Editor's Note: The following letters were received' after last , Wednesday's snow storm but before classes ffllre canceled last Friday. Also, a letter which was signed "Disgrunted Student" was received, but could not be published since it did not adher to our printed letter policy which requires that all letters be signed, whether or not the real name is to be withheld. To The Editor: I think it is in poor taste to have school on a day th~t will risk injury to students and faculty alike, a day which is declared an emergency by the state police. Let's have a little more consideration for the next storm. Thank you, Upset students To The Editor: I think some consideration should be shown to commuter students on days when most schools and colleges in a 3 county area are closed. Just because Wilkes-Barre streets are cleared with steam heat, that doesn't mean everyone travels on safe roads. I know I DON'T! Signed, Snowed In To The Editor:· People don' t learn from tragic mistakes. We feel badly for awhile, but then the hurt wears off and we go back to our old ways. In December, a . girl from M arywood College was decapitated going to school on hazardous roads on a day when college should have been cancelled because of the snowstorm. Last Wednesday we had another hazardous snowstorm. The memory of that poor girl still fresh in the minds of college administators, all but two colleges cancelled classes. Only time will tell if the memory of that girl will wear off. We won't have to worry about tJ:!at memory wearing off at Wilkes. The heartless b--t--ds at this school didn't even cancel with the memory fresh in their minds. What is it going to take before Wilkes. cancels? Probably nothing short of an administrator on this campus being decapitated. The judgment at this school is shameful and we would hate to have the conscience of the person who decides not to cancel.

Concert Chair,nan Defends College Concert Decisions In the December 9 issue of The Beacon, there appeared a letter from Frank Forte concerning possible concerts for the spring semester at Wilkes. In this letter Mr. Forte's point seems to be clouded by his pure ignorence of the subject of concerts here at Wilkes. He uses his dislike of the music of Sha Na Na, to which he is entitled, in an attempt to express an opinion about something he knows absolutely nothing about. The result is a masterpiece example of one person shooting off his mouth while not having a leg to stand on. I was able to find just one point the Mr. Forte was correct on, i.e. that Sha Na Na was being considered for a concert. His discription of the effects of Sha Na Na are totally prejudiced and narrow-minded. He neglects the central part 1950's music has played in such things as " American Graffitti", " Happy Days" and the groups' nationally syndicated television show. He fails to remember that no matter how he feels about Sha Na Na, there are poople who like the groups and that the group has something to offer. The situation with concerts is much more complex than Mr. Forte imagines or is able to comprehend. · The many various tastes on campus create quite a problem as far as satisfaction for the most people. Again, Mr. Forte offers his words of wisdom and a "helping hand" towards suggestions. If Mr. Forte is serious about such groups as FLEETWOOD MAC or James Taylor he should place his helping hand into his pocket and dig deep to cover $20-$35 ticket prices. His good taste here would break the wallet of every student on campus. His use of Livingston Taylor as an example does not hold up when checked into. He fails to mention that two shows were scheduled at his high school, one finally cancelled and the second was only half attended with tickets at $5.00 His sophistic~ted tas t e; _would bring I ., NO SMOKING-- - - - - - - - - - By Tex and Fritz Hi gang!

We scooped Nigel further, about this exciting moment in his life, and forced him to reveal that he plans to make a movie. Our guess is that the film's title will have to be "They Shoot Horses A--es', Don't They?" Those fun-loving boys at Dennison asked Santa for some nice, soft, warm, sensuous little creatures, to brighten up the dorm and keep the morale up. That's exactly what they, got - except now Fred and Lou are up to their ears in cheese bills. Gerald received his own light blue Cadillac, so he doesn't have to borrow Mrs . Liva's (and pretend it's his). New Men's Dorm now has their own resort on 3rd floor. Merry Christmas, 3rd floor? Hey!, How's t l.!_e water skiing?? Margie and Lorraine got new "red coo.ts" for Christmas. But you' ll see a lot of other people sporting identical coats in the Caf. Cosenza's got a new Lear jet for those fast deliveries. Freddie got a new recipe for "Wing-Ding-Chicken dogs." He feels the Caf isn't ready for it yet. (neither are we, Freddie). Hey, maybe Sophie would like the new recipe? Ellen Ferretti received a geomorphic, sedementary, metamorphic, clay, granite sculpted copy of Mt. Rushmore (scale size no less) for our very own W.C. Env. Sci. Club. Oh, won't Bruce and Brian be thrilled! Rumor has it they were hoping for their very own refilloo strip mine. -- Sorry, boys! M.C. asked Santa if he could install an ejector button that attaches to Joe's chair. She always said Joe was, "Lost in Space." "Well, Fritz, Ws about time you got back!" "Sorry, Tex, L chased that damn reindeer around the world trying to scoop out that ever popular mystery, "How does she keep her stockings up. " "Oh, Fritz, that poop was scooped already -- "'rhumbtacks, Fritz, Thumbtacks!" "Now, come on. we've got some heavy scooping:--to do." "OOOhh, Tex, have I got a scoop for you! En route back here, I stopped in Vermont to do a little skiing. Well, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but those silly Polar Bears swishing and swooshing down those Killington slopes (more like snow-plowing, but I'll give them some credit!). Well I thought to myself, what great poop to scoop; Tex will be so proud of me. "There they were -- MY PREY -- they innocently romped in the snow, while I was lurking under a nearby mogul, with my trusty pen and pad, not missing a scoop. --But wait! I sprang from under my mogul, SOMETHING WAS AMISS!! I checked my scoop radar, but no, the snow hadn't interfered with the waves ... Wow! I knew it a sheep in Polar Bear's clothing! No, not a sheep, a CROW! Yes, Tex, can you imagine. The Crow flew north to meet one of his Polar Bear buddies, that guy who was the star of the W.C. [oo~ball team. But that's what they say, :,vhatl think the real scoop 1s, 1s that Burroughs must have sent hrm on a secret mission to check out the new computerized ski lifts. You know, the ones with ~he built in seat warmers. Scoop has it they're the " hottest" things m Vermont. -{Yuk, Yuk, Yuk). · Hey, great scoop. Fritz, you deserve your own column in The Beacon. Now I have one for you. While you were scooping the Crow in Vermont, SHAIJ,OW LARYNX got a request froma devoted reader (and you know we always accommodate our readers). S.L. was on a personal mission for our reader (whose name will never be revealed!!). He suggested we.scoop out all the super achievements, both academic arid athletic in the college career of a certain colleague -- the colleague, none other than our own, William "C" Manley, III, (the "C" stands for Crazy with a capital C). Well Shallow Larynx was not on the trail, and this is what he scooped: non-attended concerts to Wilkes. In conclusion, I remind Mr. Forte of the situation that exists in this area. We must use our 2300 seat gym to compete against 4300 at King's an_d Scranton. We compete in two entirely differept price ranges. The extra 2000 seats creates quite a large market to choose . from and We must settle for groups that an breaking into the charts. History shows that the Eagles, Dave. Mason, and Chuck Mangione have stopped here on the road to • success, and thwe is no reason to believe that it may not continue this way. Maybe Mr. Forte's eyes have been opened to a degree now, and I hope he uses his better judgment before writing any more nonsense. · Sincerely Gregory Black Concert Chairman Well, fans, we do commend S.L. on his great effort, but how can you scoop a waterlogged poop? Tex did manage to salvage one small scoop though, Thanks to the superb ref. job by Crazy, the Ice · Hockey team is now sporting a record of 3 for 6. Crazy, take our advice -- hang up your skates. • Well, fans, we bid you a fond adieu! See you next week. Keep those requests and letters coming. "Scoop it for the Gipper!" G.W.S. Tex and Fritz P.S.

Koester, promises to be most effective in bridging the gap between students' campus studies and actual work experience. - Pam Long The program operates by .employing students in off-campus occupations for designated time periods as part of their education. Work assignments are related specifically to their college major and individual interests. "Telefon" -'Got A Dime? Brons?n,. the man with t1,e crude, somewhat violent mystique, is ~ack. This Image, however, seems to be the only real "backbone" to Telefon." The ~tory of a Russian officer trying to uphold his country's reputation and rescue the U.S. from a fiendish attack by one "Dalchimsky" a somewhat misguided maniac, comprises the plot. This madman reactivates a previous Russian scheme whereby agents bedded deep within American society respond, due to the effects of drug-induced hypnosis, to carry out destructive, suicide missions. Dalchimsky has confiscated the key phrase (a line from Robert Frost) which triggers their reaction. Bronson's job is obvious; stop Dalchimsky. Koester stated that the . program offers limitless advantages as students have much to gain by involvement in the practical applications of textbook study prior to graduation. Participation in the Wilkes Cooperative Education program provides benificial work experience through employment in full time positions for full semesters. The students are given the opportunity to view their careers from a useful and more practical angle. The textbook comes to.life as learned concepts are put into action. The program also serves to facilitate each student's career choice for the future. They receive regular pay for the work they do, enabling them to earn the necessary financial assistance important to making possible their education. What the participants actually gain is a most objective outlook on their chosen career. The new program, which began Sept. 1,1977, serves as a replacement for the Community Service program. The former program was designed to allow ·students to gain <tcademic Education program, is effectively initiating a ':ery beneficial service to the Wilkes community. Students interested in the program may contact the Cooperative Education office in the Personnel building behind Guidance and Placement on River St. credit for services rendered in public and private service agencies. Koester noted that there are some distinct differences between the two programs. One difference -lies in federal funding, which has contributed in making cooperative education a rapidly growing institution within the past 12 years. During this time the number of colleges and universities offering cooperative education programs has increased from 70 to over 600. Need For Tutors Arises Tutors are urgently needed for the YM-YWCA program. Mrs. Hannah Janjigian is the co-ordinator for the program. Any Wilkes students, regardless of major or class year, who would be interested in tutoring an adult or a child in such subjects as reading, math, science or spelling or others should call Mrs. Janjigian at 823-0181. The program involves placing students in industry and regular companies rather than non-profit organizations. The agencies fo the cooperative education program pay the students, which is another distinct difference in the two programs. Although currently limi~ed to certain majors, Koester feels that the cooperative education will be available to all interested students at Wilkes in the near future. Pam Long Notice clubs, organizations or students or faculty members who wish to place notices in the Wilkes.College newsletter, should have all items must be submitted a week in advance. Any disappointment with this film might stem from an expectation of the spectacular originated by the flood of current sci-fi movies. However, these forerunners are not totally responsible as this movie generates no aura of its own. It is "explosive" only because every other town in the U.S. is blown sky high, and "striking" only in reference to several gory murder scenes. Its success rests heavil)'. upon one component, Bronson. Lee Remick portrays a witty American conn,,,.t.ion who ac"ompanits the star. Except for a very few pioneer expeditions, the bold blond is mere putty. Bronson controls her strings throughout the movie which leads to the exciting conclusion; bliss in the Happy Hour Motel, and you figure out the rest. The movie does give semi-reasonable, although bizarre, example of what might happen should things get into the wrong hands. Its "Mission_ : Impossible" -like arrangement redeems it somewhat, rendering it acc_eptable. "Telefon" indeed appears to be television-oriented and m~re properly geared for World Premiere Night on. C~S than for _its elevated position. The powerful Bronson profile 1s lik~ly to persist, however, giving rise to several more of these sagas m the future. Observant Sophomore In Programs Spots T.V.

The victory raised the Blue and Gold's season mark to 6-4-1 and set them in a good spot to challenge for top Eastern grappling honors. The victory over Montclair State broke the Indians five-match wj.nning skein. Photo by Bob Gaetano Colonel Matmen Rolling Along With -Gregrow Back In Lineup The machinery is starting to roll! The Big Blue and Gold wrestling machine is getting untracked and woe to those who dare to challenge. After a very tough early season schedule, the Colonels are hoping to tee off on some of the weaker teams that they will be facing as they head into the middle of the season. ~ The Wilk es men boosted their record to 6--4-1 this week with convincing victories over Delaware Valley and Montclair State. The· double dual that was scheduled for last Saturday night was cancelled due to the inclement weather. The matches with Oswego and Massachusetts Maratime will not be rescheduled. Last Wednesday, the Colonels travelled to Doylestown to take on MAC powerhouse Delaware Valley and the Aggies found out first hand why the Colonels moved out of the Division III wrestling conference. Before moving up in the NCAA standings, the Colonels copped 14 MAC champion, ships during their 19 year hitch. The Wilkes dominance was very evident as they crushed the MAC favorites, 42-0. Although the Aggies didn't score any team points, the match wasn't exactly a cake-walk for the Colonels. The meet had it's share of close· m~tches. Both Ed Johnson and Greg MacLean won, but only by skintight 2 point decisions. Casper Tortella continued his winning ways with an exciting win over John Campbell at 142. Tortella saw his 3-1 lead vanish in the final pa-iod, but with 20 seconds remaining, he escaped and won the match with a riding time point, 5-4. The highlight of the evening occurred when Perry Lichtinger clamped Mike Danis with only a single second remaining in the match. Lichtinger was trailing 3-1 before his last second heroics. Bryan Billig, Gene Clemons, and Danny House scored impressive major decisions while Alex Grohol decisioned previously undefeated Aggie captain Art Shull, 13-6. Mark Dens berger joined Lichtinger in the pin club when he showed Ken Espenshade the lights in 5: 38. At 190, Doug Drescher gained six team points on a forfeit victory. Shown in the form that all dedicated Wilkes wrestling fans have grown accustomed to is senior Dave 'Gregrow, as he returned to action Tuesday nii.rht in Wilkes' 36-8 win over the Indians of Montclair State at the Wilkes gym. Gregrow recorded one of the three Reesemen's pins as he showed Montclair's Gene Emering the lights in 3:13. Gregrow's dramatic victory caused an uproar among the crowd as he was rewarded with a standing ovation. Gregrow was allowed to wrestle after the rules committee met in Atlanta last week and voted in favor of a new rule for Division I schools, allowing an athlete to play four years, even after he sat out his freshman season, which Gregrow did. Photo by Bob Gaetano Last week we told you Rodger Bearde was the man who could turn the Colonel cagers from tug-boat to Queen Mary. . Like Noah hurrying with his ark, Bearde started _construcb~n immediately as the Blue and Gold up~et powerful ~bright, 75-68, m overtime at the Lions homecourt. Five days earlier, Albright had beaten the number one ranked Division III team in the nation, Sc_ra.nton University, 65-56 at the Albright gym. . . Skipper, er, Coach Beai:-de was simply elated over the big wm. "We put it all together. Everything blended in well. When one guy got cold, somebody else picked up the slack," added the Colonel mentor. Leading the way for Wilkes in the victory was junior John Zapko, who played in only his second game of the year._ The 6-6 _forwarp. scored 26 points, with 18 coming in the second penod as Wilkes. cut off a ten-point halftime deficit. Zap, who shot 12 of 21 from the field, fouled out of the game with 2:19 left in OT, after Wilkes had taken the lead for good. . . Freshman Mike McCarrie, from Father Judge High School m Philadelphia had 13 points to help the Colonel cause. Coming off the bench to combine for 28 points were senior Terry Schoen, 16, and sophomore Artie Magh, 12 points. . At intermission, Bearde used coaching strategy like he was John Wooden. He switched the Blue and Gold defense from a zone to man-to-man and the move paid off as Wilkes cut down the lead and Meigh's 20-footer at 2: 10 left in regulation gave Wilkes a 59-58 advantage. . . Albright cam back and took the lead until with 0: 06 on the clock, Meigh scored on a pass from Hughes to tie it at 62-62 and send the already barn-bunrer into OT. Wilkes hit' nine foul shots in the final two minutes of OT to save the win and give the Blue and Gold their second win of the season and first in the MAC. It was the Colonels finest offensive showing of the year, hitting on 31 of 57 from the field and scoring a season high 75 points. On Tuesday evening, the Colonels won their second game in a row with a 77-75 road victory over Philadelphia Textile in the Quaker City. Zapko again was high scorer with 26 points, and added four blocked shots. Freshman · Mike McCarrie had 18 points, and senior guard Nick Holgash chipped in with 12. Wilkes was down by 13 points , 43-30 at half-time. But the Blue and Gold scored the first six points of the second haf to switch the momentum. A thrre-point play by Zapko at 10:55 pulled Wilkes wihtin one at 56-55. McCarrie hit from outside at 8:30 to put Wilkes on top, 61-60. The Colonels held on and took a 77-75 victory home with them, to raise their season slate to 3-7. Last Saturday' s game with Juniata was called off due to inclement weather, and a make-up date for the MAC game has not been set. Tonight Wilkes again meets a MAC counterpart, when the Beardemen travel to meet Lycoming. Tomorrow evening, they continue their road show with an away MAC tilt with Delaware Valley. The Blue and Gold will be home for the first time in 55 days when they host Albright on Jan. 30 and Susquehanna on Feb. 1. TIP-INS: Nine game stats show Jono Zapko leading all scorers with a 23.0 average. Baird, 10. 7, and McCarrie, 10.0, follow .....Baird tops the team in rebounds, while Hughes leads in assists, and Holgash is first in steals ..... McCarrie, 22 of 24, and Holgash, 8 of 8, are the leading free-throw shootErS ...... Wilkes, now 1-2 in the MAC, is definitely in the running for a playoff berth. Zapko, 26.0, and McCarrie, 12.0, lead Wilkes in MAC shooting stats ..... Joe Gries, WBRE radio sports director, and one of the best play-by-play sports announcers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, has announced that his · station will carry three Wilkes cage games this season. WBRE will broadcast the Albright game on Jan. 30 at home, Scranton on Feb. 8 away, and Bloomsburg on Feb. 20 home. Gries, as almost everyone knows is also the voice of the Wilkes College football team. Eddie White The big news of the week broke on Friday. It is news that just might enable the Colonels to capture the EIWA crown. Dave Gregrow, one of the Colonel quad-captains of a year ago, was placed back on the varsity team and was declared eligible for the remainder of this season. At a recent meeting of the NCAA Division I rules committee, a decision was handed down concerning the eligibility of Division I athletes. The adjusted ruling indicates that an athlete may compete in an event for four years, regardless of whether he performed in his freshman Y,ear. The previous rule that covered this situation stated that the athlete was only allowed to compete for three years beyond their fres_hman year. Gregrow sat out his entire freshman ymr due to a stint at a military prep school, so he is back in uniform for the Colonels. Reese stated that the Colonels chances of winning the East~n tournament "will be greater with Gregrow in the lineup." The 190 slot has been a sore spot this year due to Rick Smith's injuries a,nd Doug Drescher's inexperience. Gregrow celebrated his return triumphantly on Tuesday night as he helped lead the Colonels to a 36-8 victory over Montclair State. The win for the Colonels snapped a Montclair five-meet winning streak. Danny House and Gregrow scored back-to-back pins to nail the coffin shut on the Montclair team. Bryan Billig also registered a fall in 6:37. Ed Johnson, Casper Tortella, and Greg MacLean scored three point decisions while Gene Clemons had a major decision and Mark Densberger a superior. The two Colonel losses were incurred by Perry Lichtinger and Pat O'Callaghan. Lichtinger lost a hotly contested 8-7 decision to Rodger Bogsted while O'Callaghan drew the unenviable chore of doing battle with Montclair's national freestyle champion, Ken Mallory. The freshman Colonel was shown a lesson or two in takedowns as Mallory registered 13 two-pointers en route to the 34-13 win.

Could there be two women's basketball teams at Wilkes? Anyone who saw Monday night' s game with Keystone might think so, for the team that played the first half scored only 28 points and was losing by 17 after the first 20 minutes. However, the team that took the floor for the latter half of the game scored an amazing 61 points and wound up winnillg 89-71. Naturally, it's t his " second" team that Coach Sandy Bloomberg hopes she'll see more of. The first half against Keystone in the opponent's tiny gym can only be described as dismal. Wilkes just couldn't seem to get anything going, while Keystone was having a terrific time. Turnovers, poor shooting and very few rebounds plagued the Colonelettes, who found themselves trailing 45-28 at the half. But then it was comeback time, as a newly-inspired Wilkes team came on to tum the game completely around. Keystone couldn't believe thar eyes, as the Wilkes press, fast break and rebounding suddenly began to work, and the Colonelettes steadily chipped away at Keystone' s lead. When the dust cleared, Diane Kendig emerged with 29 points (23 coming in the second half); Gloria Pasternick, who came off the bench to start the second half, ended up with 18; and co-captain Anita Meehan, perhaps her best game this season, finished with 13. Lynn Yedlock led the rebounding attack in the second half, while Mary Jo Frail, Sue Freda, Karen Olney, Debbie Yedlock · and Mary Lou Lenns also were instrumental in the win, along with Doreen Swiatek (who wins the award for having the most vocal fan club). One particular bright spot was the success of the Wilkes full court press, which the cagers have been working on for the past few weeks. This play gave the Colonelettes numerous interceptions, while it foreed Keystone into making some fatal eITors. The Blue and Gold, now 2-4, traveled to Albright last night, where hopefully, they extended the win reccrd.

Hum ph rey Bogart . will be brought to the campus Wednesday, Ja n. 25 as Robert Sacchi presents " B ogey's Back," a dramatic presentation of scenes from Bogart's greatest fil ms.· The program is being sponsored by the Concert and Lecture Series. Sacchi, who looks, talks and acts like t he famed actor, will present scenes from such movies as "The Maltese Falcon," "The Cai ne Mutiny" and ·' Casablanca," while also providing a glimpse at Bogey's probable reaction to the 70s. The two- hour presentation has been .given at a nuinber of colleges and universities throughout the United States, and has also ·played to theater audiences. Sacchi, a man in his mid- t hirties, never met Bogart, who died in 1957. He has, however, read every Bogey biography and has seen most of the actor's 75 movies. H is natural resemblence to Bogart has been an obvious asset, and he has portrayed the man in a number of television commericals in addition to doing the theatrical performances. A theater critic who attended a performa nce of ·"Bogey's Back" noted that Sacchi's work "is not an imitation," but a "recreation." Sacchi "talked like Bogey, looked like Bogey, dressed like him, even moved like him. Weird!" Bogey will be back on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts.

President Robert S. Capin told an audience of 200 community leaders, alumni, and members of the college family last month that funds raised will be directed toward scholarship support, enlarging the endowment fund, and reconstruction of existing college properties. "We believe that these efforts are in keeping with the mission of Wilkes College and will help maintain its character an d quality," noted Capin. Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, chairman of the Board of Truslees, commented that "the trustees view the campaign as ·a vital step forward in keeping with the goals of the college." The keynote speaker at the Leaders' Conference was Attorney Louis H. Pollak, reknown lawyer and dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He stressed that independent col- leges "are critical in a free society," and "are really what a democratic society is all about." The" Alpha" campaign, named for the Greek letter symbolizing leadership and the beginning of efforts, is already a roachin tht $500,000 mark. Attorney Andrew J. Hourigan will head the drive. In addition to providing support to the college scholarship fu nd which aids 80 per cent of Wilkes students, a portion of the funds will be used to maintain a number of the historic buildings on campus, including the reconstrudion of campus property into an adequate student union building. Enlar g-ment of t he endowment I I fund is also a goal of the campaign, and will be undertaken in order to competitively recruit and retain a quality faculty. Capital gifts campaigns are usually conducted every several years and are held in addition to the a nnual_ college campaign. The intensiv~ part of this campaign is expected to take place over the next 18 months, while pledges will be made over the next three years. On Th e Cover SAVITZ: "WE HAVE MADE OUR COM MITMENT TO THE · REGION... " CAPIN: "WE BELIEVE WILKES COLLEGE HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE A LEADE R IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA." POLLAK: "BASICALLY· INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ARE REALLY WHAT A DEMOCRATI C SOCIETY IS ALL ABOUT." "I wonder what the tea leaves have in store for tonight."

Not only did I do my 12 term papers for the semester, but I read all of may books,underlined all of the chapters, and studied for all my first tests." J."Wow! But didn't you have any fun??" H.(indignantly) " Of course I did-I went through all the latest editions of the encyclopedias and found all of the mistakes the publishers missed. Then (he suddenly breaks into an animated smile) I sent them all to the company!It was such satisfying work-But I must admit,next time 1want something more challenging, that was too easy! Well, Joseph, I had best be on my way, I have a class at twelve o'clock." · J. "But you have a lot of time-it's only half past nine." H."Joseph, I know, but I can go and read another few books!" (not watching where he is going, his briefcase bumps the next table, and a glass of milk goes flying, drenching the occupant of the table) . According to the clock it's only nine a.m. and J oes' first class is at ten a.m. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Sylvia $. ·Spendthrift. Sylvia's life revolves around money ,shopping.clothes, and men,(not necessarily in that order). Sylvia is at Wilkes working harder on her Mrs. than on her B.S. Sylvia ')sauntering subtly over to the table) "Hi Joe! What's new? Mind if I sit down for awhile? How was your vacation? Mine was terrif!-Gee, isn't it just awful to be back so soon?!!" J."Hi Sylvia! My vacation was o.k.,But I had to work, so there wasn't much time to get out. What made your vacation so great?" S."Oh Joe-it wasn't a what,it was a who, I mean I met "The Man"~he is absolutely the most wonderful, stunning, intelligent and RICH guy I've ever laid eyes on!!!" J. "A real Mr. Right, huh??" S. "Mr. Right ! He's Mr. Perfect!!- we're not only going out we're engaged! But keep it quiet-Iwant my family to meet him first,and I have to meet his and before everything though I have to find out his last name." J . "Oh yeah, sure whatever you want--by the way what is that tag on your sleeve?" S.(turning a brilliant shade of scarlet) "Gee, it's a ,er, oh, I a price tag? I just got this xerzct7 4t !! sweater for Christmas- Well excuse me- I have to go find a pair of scissors-be right back!!" As Sylvia slithers off in search of scissors, in comes Horatio Fourpointo. Waiting for his thick horn-rimmed specs to de-fog from the cold, he joins Joe at the table. J."Hi Horatio,How are ya?" H.(after setting his bulging briefcase,stack of books, tablets and calculator down bn a vacant chair) "My physiological condition is good, mental, emotional and psychological states are excellent." l!l!lWIJ11 O.(occupant-in an irate tone) "Hey bookworm, look whaddya did!" H ."Now sir, I am truly sorry, but as we all know there is no use lamenting over dissapated lacteal fluid! Joseph, he looks agitated, so I had better go-Goodbye!" J.(shaking his head) "Bye Horatio." Sylvia now slides back to the talbe. J.(laughing) "Find your scissors?" S.(annoyed and embarassed) "Yes!" J. "Syl, what ever happened to the guy y9u were goin' with during finals week- ya know that dormie from Jersey?" S."Oh him! You mean Justin Time. He never comes back till the second week of school, he' 11 be here in time for the first tests. We can't stand each other." The door opens and looking rather disheveled and yawning sleepily is Norman D.O. Nothing. Norman has been at Wilkes for seven years 'now. ~t•s not that he is stupid, but when you only take five to seven credits a semester, it takes awhile! Seeing Joe and Sylvia, he sleepwalks over to the table, collapsing into the chair in a drowsy heap. DOWNTOWN, W.B. ' ,ill 113 S. MAIN ST. .' ROLL STARS / PIXS - TV STARS ETC. CUSTOM SERVICE.

J."Norm, you never got home for Christmas either???" N."No,I fell asleep and forgot to go home... zzz.zzz ... Then as Norman fell back into hibernation, the entire population of the Commons turned, for in walked-The Wilkes Wonder himself-Adonis A. Athelete. As Sylvia began to drool, Joe began to grimace, and everyone else began to choke. With his teeth shining, and wearing his sweater with over 100 stripes on each sleeve and more "W's" than can be believed, he decided to grace Joe and Sylvia with his presence. A.A.A "Hi fans, don't I look great, just had my teeth buffed, hair cut and supersuede jox shoes cleaned." Sylvia(with her eyes glowing, she hasn't blinked since Adonis walked in, gives him a 36 teeth grin- she has 36 teeth, her mouth is big enough for four extra molars)."H H Hi Adonis." J ."Hi Adonis." A.A.A. "Well, whafs new?" J."Nothing." S."Oh, I don't know? Suddenly. I just can't t hink." A.A.A. "Well excuse me, I think I'll go lean on the railing over there." (He jaunts on over to the railing, near the serving counter, the railing where · most of the members of the football team congregate during the day). . S.(not taking her eyes off of Adonis) "Gee, Joe I have to get going, Maybe I'll just go visit Adonis for awhile, maybe he and I can go to a party this weekend." J,"But Sylvia, I thought you were supposed to be engaged to that other guy?" S.' 1No that was last week, I'm not now, Bye!" J."Oh well, see ya, take it easy, I better get going too I have ten minutes to get to Parrish." He leaves and the table is deserted, except for Normanwho is still sleeping.

"Close Encounters of The Third Kind" radiates the kind of vibes destined to making it an immediate, unforgettable success. With close encounters of the first and second kind out of the way, director Steven Spielberg undoubtedly suspects the public is ready at last for the real thing - actual contact with the strange extraterrestrials. · The "Close Encounters" plot is anything but unfamiliar. What takes place involves some average individuals (Roy Neary and Jillian Guiler) in some uncanny events which lead to communication with the aliens. Cable television and, on occasion, the afternoon t)ialing-for-Dollars movie prove this a":';ngement to be a. m~st popular one. But what "Close Encounters does not share with its predecessors is its "believeability." Flash Gordon embarked upon some fantas tic .journeys and Rod Serling narrated countless episodes of way-out space e!1tertainment, but thi_s ~ime the at~e!llpt seems less bizarre. The foreigners who stop _to visit are not_ vicious monsters in any way and appear most willing to communicate as well as cooperate. · Their method of transmission couldn't be any more amusing. A series of musical tones in special sequence comprises the alien "voice," and once in operation prompts Jillian to move with the beat of the "conversation" producing a somewhat comic, yet touching moment. . . . . . The movie is not without faults, yet its ments far outweigh its gaucheries and sli_p-ups. .~he two l;ldventun;rs' trek ~oward a mysterious mountain (Devil s Tower, in Wyoming) constitutes one rather weak episode. Wha ollows, however, inevitably swallows up the mistake. In effect, the undertakings of Roy Neary and his friend Jillian promote the movie's prime directive of friendship and intimate contacts. The long feared UFO phenomenon disappears as the two journey ever closer to their d,estination 1irected by a!1 uncanny psychic motif. Each spectators bravery is as astounding as the climactic arrival of the major space craft. Yet bravery and willingness are the key factors here. And what a_ wor~ of technology! No, not mechanical technology, but that which is abstract and imaginative. · "Close Encount~" prese!1ts perhaps ~ome of t~e movie industry' s most outstand111g special effects. It is truly this creativity woven within the "Close Encounters" plot which makes it incredible. "Close Encounters'' actually entices one to seek new horizons and likewise accept life not akin to our own. Bereft of any battle scenes, it not only advocates peaceful cooperation among men on earth but also extends welcome to other life forms. . The movie's title couldn't be more appropriate in describing the intimate association of imagination, body and soul when faced with the wild notion that we are indeed "not alone!" -- WHAT HAPPENED- THE TRAFFIC .~UST STOPPED ALL OF THE SUDDEN ? .

The Wilkes College basketball team wished it had been exiled to the Wilkes gym or some basketball camp in Moscow during the Santa ho-ho period. · • · The Colonels, as you might already know, did not play a game or practice for five weeks during the break. Anyone who knows anything about basketball, even Pliylus George ~can realize that its just impossible to survi\f\l a season with such a long mid-season layoff. But if there is a guy who can lead the Colonels to the promised land, and take control of the sunken ship and turn it into the Queen · Mary, it is Coach Rodger Bearde. . . . The Blue and Gold's last game before the break was Jan. 10 in a 63-53 road loss to Susquehanna. Bearde's boys returned to action . last Saturday, after THREE (Count em'), THREE days of practice, and came out ·rusty in a sloppy 52-49 heart-breaking loss to Moravian, which was led by former Wyoming Valley West star Rich Coslett's 12 points. . . · Bearde said the main problem he will have in the next few games and practices will be "getting the team back into a timing and · conditioned shape." He added that Wilkes must get its game back . because the Colonels are still in the Middle Atlantic Conference race, although they show a 0-2 conference slate. To make the playoffs, Wilkes has to be one of the top four teams in the eight-unit league. Scranton and Albright top the race, with everyone else bunch~ together in a. dog-fight for a playoff spot. Semor guard and resident "Rock and Roll" hater, Nick Holgash expresses his opinion that the layoff might help the Blue and Gold · in a weird way. " Without the break, we would be playing games right through the month without ZAP, (John Zapko~.

Let us not forget, the Blue and ~old wei:e narro~y defeated by the East's top Pi vision II entry, Philadelphia Textile, 66-64 at the Wilkes gym on a last second shot. Wilkes, no~ 1-7, met a tough Albright squad on the road on Wednesday and will follow with an away gam~ with Juniata on Saturday.

When asked how many students this will affect, Holsberger said, "one too many." In other new business, Holsberger reported that SGs academic committee is going to propose to the faculty that no tests be given the last week before finals. Last year, the department heads voted in favor of this policy, 18-6, but many professors have not been following this idea. SG.vould like to make this idea an academic policy which would be strictly enforced. Concerning the academic calendar for next year, SG is proposing to President's Council that there be a week-long fall break in Oct. Classes would start Aug. 28, the fall break ·would be Oct. 16-20, then the Thanksg-iving According to Carl Holsberger, Student Government president, some seniors may not be able to graduate this year, and will not be warned in advance. Reporting on the recent faculty academic standing committee meeting, he said that seniors graduate with the reouirements of the College bulletin for the year they enter as freshmen or graduate with. It is stated for this year's senior that he or she must at least graduate with a 1.85 cum. This has, however, changed. Seniors who take advantage of the new policy where one can drop a 1.0 or 0.0 by taking the course over and have their cums readjusted must graduate with a 2.0. It will also be stated in next year' s bulletin that all must graduate with at least a 2.0 cum.

In a surprise announcement, the newly elected freshman class president, Dana Schaffer attended the meeting. All class presidents are supposed to attend SGmeetings, according to the SG constitution, but Dave Palanzo, Mike Barth and Charlie Stefanetti, the senior, junior and sophomore class presidents, have not attended any SG meetings this year. Holsberger and the SG body commended Schaffer. Jim Edwards Modifications To Be Made -In Financ ial Aid Procedures Several changes have been ,nade involving application procedures for financial aid for the 1978:79 academic year. According to Richard Raspen, director of financial aid, the changes themselves fall into two categories: forms and filing dates. I n t he past, a separate applicat ion had to be filed for the Basic Grant Program. Beginning with the 1978-79 year, Pennsylvania residents must apply for a Basic Grant by filing the State Grant application of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. A new form has been developed by PHEAA which will serve as the application for both the State and the Basic Grant Programs. This "Composite Form" will be mailed to current State Grant recipients in the near future, and will be processed without charge to the students. The Financial Aid Office will also have forms available for those students who do not-receive one in the mail. Non-Pennsylv ania residents will be able to apply for a Basic Grant by completing a Financial Aid Form and sending it to the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey. Some students, like New Jersey residents, may also use the FAF to apply for their state's State Scholarship--Grant Program. Additional information on those programs should be made available in the near future. In any case, every .student should file an application (either the PHEAA--BEOG Composite Form or the ~AF ) for a Basic Grant. Even 1f a student ,was Yet -For New York Bus Trip denied assistance in the past, he should reapply, because changes in program regulations andor changes in the family's financial circumstances may mean he would be awarded a grant for 1978-79. The final form change involves the demise of t he Parents' Confidential Statement as a need analysis document. Instea ) f Robert J.

Last year, the Council nearly died and for obvious reasons. The President, Dave Cherundolo, lacked the leadership for the job. Council meetings were every two weeks and lasted about twenty minutes. The Council had no major accomplishments to speak of and student interest was low, so naturally, attendance was _ poor. Things have drastically turned arouncl for !h~ better and Louie DeRobertis, CC president, is the main reason_, _ He constantly brings new ideas to the Council and wants to try new things that past Councils would never even dare to try. He holds meetings every week that last sometimes as long as an hour and a half. (A record in CC history) He leads most of t he discussions but in no way dominates them. He is open to suggestions and other ideas from Council members. No More "B\dhps" This is also a big difference over last year's Council. Council members are no longer the "bumps on a log" they used to be. Students such as Diane Marcinko, CC treasurer, Dave Evans, Becky Toton, Sue Fischer: John Griffth, Sue Pudlosky and Denise Strickland, CC vice-president. contribute regularly at Council meetings. Attendance has also been- excellent this semester. The accomplishments of the Council; however, do not reflect the actual work the Council has put into them. Both the Smorgasbord, held earlier in the semester, and the Halloween party were disasters because of poor attendance.

Student Government is responsible for writing the evaluation forms, mailing them out and eventually tabulating and publishing the results. Routine Business Completed Moving on down, Student Government has handled routine business rather successfully this semester. Homecoming this year ran smoothly and was considered a success by all.

There has been no financial report THE HUT at Hotel Steri1g Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches policy rules and the students, backed by IDC, attempted to modify the present party policy to create a more liveable situation for all. IDC formed a committee to discuss the party policy and came to the decision that the amount of profit permitted and the rules for ticket sales should be reviewed. At present, there is a $10 limit for profits, and tickets cannot be. sold at the door of the party that night. A lot of the IDC members said they thought dorms should be allowed to make bigger profits. President Tom Bazzini stressed that bot h the administration and students have to give in a little before everyone will be satisfied. The IDC officers all seemed to be interested in the business being discussed. Bazzini ·was efficient as president. He was always aware of everything that was going on with IDC, as well as with t he rest of the happenings at Wilkes. Many students may feel that IDC lacks importance on the grounds that it has not gotten done what students would like done. The trouble is that it takes a lot of work for IDC to make progress because it has to answer to the administration. -It is believed that the Inter-Dormitory Council would be much ·more productive if it had more input and interest from the students.

The Film Committee, headed by Steve Kirschner, has done a commendable job presenting a wide variety of films th is semester. Kirschner has also been able to get more use out of the CPA for films rather than using the SUB, which is a task in itself. Handling fund requests from various student organizations is a mjor part of SG's business. With the money SG has to work with, the body handles each request carefully and will only grant money that is needed. SG has been much more consistent this semester in granting requests and thoroughly questions each organization on how the money will be spent. It should be noted , however, that SG needs and deserves more money to work with. The answer does not necessarily lie in raising tuition either. SG - could sponsor fu nd-raising projects which may alleviate the problem.

On the other hand, there are members like Kim Dubosky, Dave Evans, John Sentore, Julie Kent, Rosetta Chiavacci and Daryl Dwyer who offer constructive criticism and new ideas regularly. Then there is Larry Assalita, who is the only member who knows what SG's potentials are, where SG has been and where it is headed. Besides being vice-president, he secretly acts as top advis·or, almost guardian to Holsberger, advisor to SG and SG parliamentarian. It is a shame he is a: senior because he would have made an excellent SG president, This, however, should not detract from Holsberger who is a good pr~sident with some strong leadership characteristics.

STOCK �PAGE 4, THE BEACON, Dt:CE1\1BER 9, 1977 Commuter Council Questioned NO SMOKING On Reasons For Activities - - - -- - - - - - By Tex and Fritz To The Editor: In response to Commuter Council's decision to "reduce the funding of the Christmas, St. Pat's, , and Valentine's Day parties," I would like to say that, maybe it's a good idea. However CC, are you really sure that this is what the majority of the commuter students want? I am a junior, and I have attended the Christmas parties, St. Valentine' s Day parties and block parties at Wilkes College for three years, and at every function I have seen just as many commuter students enjoying themselves at these activities as I have seen dorm students. Alcohol has become a social drink in American life. It brings people closer together, and the only ones hurt by it are those people who do not know how to handle it. I feel that the majority students attending Wilkes College do know what alcohol is all about, and they do not use it for t he soul purpose of getting drunk in a crowded room . Students on t his campus do enjoy getting dressed up once in a while to hear a band, have S-'/me good food and have a few drinks. Why not, most Americans do. At the same time, you are sponsoring an activity for approximately 250 people at a cost of $5 where a bus trip is an activity that maybe 100 people would attend at the price of $8 a t icket. Problems that do arise at activities where alcoholic beverages are served, are caused by a few (a minority). This minority should be dealt with separately, and the majority should not be punished for the actions of this minority. If you still wish to sponsor other activities, please arrange them at times when dorm students can also go, and try to arrange these activities for as many people as possible not just . one or two busloads of individuals. l feel the purpose of a student organization such as SG , IDC, or CC should be to provide act ivities t hat will promote interest for as many students as possible, bot h dorm and commuter. I ask you, CC. Are you really doing this? I am the vice-president of the Inter-Dorm Council, and I would just like t o make clear that these ideas and comments of which I have just stated, have nothing to do with IDC, or any of it' s members. These are my own views as a student of Wilkes College. Respectfully submitted, Gary Toczylowski Dear W.C. Scoopers, , How' s the ~ooping been going lately?

Sha Na Na A 'No No .No According To Concert Fan To The Editor: . As stated in the last issue of The Beacon, a one Mr. Greg Black stated t hat Sha Na Na is being considered for the spring concert that is t o be held on March 15th or 16th. All I have to say is, "You gotta be kiddin' me! " I do admit that this proposed concert will send· the • valleys sale of hair grease and bobby socks skyrocketing, but t hat' s about all the good it will do. I feel what is lacking here, on behalf of Mr. Black, is sophistication; Sha Na Na is a big no no no, unless of course your mentality is that of a 1961 high school student. Just in case Mr. Black is lacking suggestions, rather than good taste, let me be t he first to lend a helping hand. Have you ever heard of F leetwood Mac, Greg, or ma ybe Livingston Taylor and his brother J ames, of whom played at my high school when I was a junior 3 years ago; so don' t fall back on a cash excuse because if my high school of 1200 could afford them a college of 2800 surely can with ease.

Will we have to track down all of our old profs and get our past grades changed?

Two Wilkes Colle ge debaters, Donna Korba, a sophomore art major from Wilkes.Barre, and David Evans, a senior English majOi" from Kingston , have contributed toward making the Wilke s College Debate Union an outstanding academic organ ization. One of the oldest g-rouos on campus, t he Deba te Union, 'aiong wit h its growing prestige and succe ss, has become an important link in t he Wilkes College chain of tradition. With only half t he season completed t he Wilkes De bate Union has produced 24 wins, a significant start, with t he organization's record for a total year being 30. Ne verthe less, Donna and David make it clear t hat winning, although rewarding, is not everything. David has won a t otal of 18 awards during his four years on the team and is captain of the Wilke s Debate UniQP. At a re ce nt tournament in Bloomsburg he placed fourt h overall in a fie ld of nearly .300 participants. " It is the highe st we have ever had at the colle ge ," remarks Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, assistant profes;;or of English at Wilke s and the te am's coach. Dr. Kinney calls David his " right hand man" and it's easy to se e why! The tall, sandy-haired student has also captured national accolades, winning a n· award at last year's Pi Kappa De.f.a conve ntion at Seattle. Kin ney notes that David is "versatile" as he participates in both debating and forensics, another branch of the organization. He is the "best" Kinney concludes. Sharing the spotlight with David has been Donna, a member of the squad for a year-and-a-half. She particularly concerns he~lf with forensics, or individual events competition. Her outstanding efforts have won her a total of 11 awards and the re~ent qualification to participate in the National Individual Events Tournament in April. She s eems specifically devoted to persuasive and informative speaking, two forensics categories in which she is unequalled. But what exactly does it mean to be a debater? As David puts it, "It's being able to express yourself logica]ly and concisely . ~ ~ - By 1 ~o.'>l ~ D~f'~: /l(t,/i :\ •,<~f ;_~F %"&1 , ' 'i ~ 11 ' ' 1 Pam Long '' , , · -- ' !( 1.1, 1 ,11 'ff / (~'!JJ f.' /1 \ ,, , r,l, :(11•: ~f j.

"It's not only winning," Donna asserts, "winning helps but ten years from now I'll be more grateful for the knowledge I have gained artd the people I have met rather than the trophies on my shelf.'' Indeed, the spoils of their progress do not apply only to their college careers. They incorporated this knowledge into the mainstream of their lives where it has prospered much. Since both are preparing to teach upon graduation from Wilkes, this experience is proving extremely valuable. To David, who is presently student teaching in the Wyoming Valley West School District, "It helps in many different fields. You can make a cla:;sroom entertainment; people learn more when they are e njoying themselves." Both David and Donna reflect t hat they have gained enormous self-confidence, the kind which will enable them to cope with life, and which also has made " Kinney' s Kids," the affectionate name for the Wilkes Debate Union, an extreme ly consiste nt fore nsic and debate powe r.

He got the Colonels well on their way toward victory when he showed Lehigh's standout lightweight, Steve Bastianelli the lights. The exciting pin came with only one second remaining in the period. Photo by Bob Gaetano ."What's a Snake Pit?" The Colonel wrestlers took their own venom with them when they travelled to Bethlem on Tuel'day to take on the 8th ranked Lehigh Engineers. The Wilkesmen !£Ored perhaps one of the biggest victories in the history of the college's wrestling program when they upset powerful Lehigh by a ~ore of 25-18. The Engineers were the ones who were snake-bitten as they fell prey to the inspired Colonel attack. It was the first time that Wilkes has ever beaten the Eastern powerhouse and they picked a very opportune time to perform the magic. "We are naturally very pleased with such an important win," commented the thrilled coach John Reese. "It would have been a major accomplishment just to beat them, but it took on a special flavor by winning iit front of Lehigh's home fans." Grace Hall on the Lehigh campus is the place where thunder comes rolling down from the stands as the vocal Engineer fans cheer their team on to great heights. But on Tuesday night, they were extremely quiet as the confident Colonels made a little 45th Annual Wrestling Open Scheduled. _For December 28 & 29 A-Cottt)J To a dedicated wrestler, getting his name etched into the record books for accomplishments on the mat is very gratfying and a sense of self-satisfaction is present when that personal goal is achieved. To a wrestling team, nothing is better than gaining recognition by producing a total team effort to capture a championship and share the "fruits of victory." At Wilkes College, the sport of wrestling becomes increasingly popular, year after year, and included in its wrestling fortunes, is the honor of hosting one of the most prestigious wrestling tournaments in the country. The wrestling Colonels will be attempting to finish high in the 45th annual "Wilkes Open" grappling tourney slated for WednJifi}ay and Thursday, Dec. 28 and 29, at th~ &ont""h Franklin Street gymnasium with Dean· :George Ra.lston serving as Tournament director. Many speak of the Wilkes open as being the oldest, most unique tournament in the nation, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED calls it, "The Rose Bowl of Wre!tling." It all began · in 1932, when a local wrestling coach from Wyoming Seminary, Austin Bishop, initiated the event in cooperation with the local Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Wilkes College took over the sponsoring of the tourney in 1950, along with the gymnasium. At that time it usually attracted 400 or 500 wre_stlers and approximately 35 teams. Attendence has slightly decreased since the Midlands Open Tournament and C. W. Post Tournament in Long Island are held the same days and are forced to compete with it. Over 300 wrestlers from acros;; the nation and 30 teams are expected to be represented this year and a heavy favorite to win its sixth consecutive team championship is Clarion State. Last year, Clarion won the team trophy by accumulating a total of 72 ¼ points and were followed by Rhode Island, 40¼; East Carolina, 35; Navy, 35; North Carolina, 25; and Wilkes, with 24½ points. A close race is expected between the Diversity of ,Rhode Island, Ohio University, E.carolina, N.C. State, Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, and Wilkes for team laurels in 1977. The Colonel grapplers have always been noted for making a strong showing in the tourney, which they are host, and have won six runner-up trophies in the past eight years. The decline however, has been the past two seasons. The last Wilkes wrestler to get his name "Etched" into the record books was Mike Kas,ab, in 1974. Jim Weisenfluh, who was a outstanding Blue and Gold performer who became the college's first Ea!>tern Intercollegiate Wrestling Champion and was voted the "Most Outstanding Wrestler" almost turned the trick in 1975. But he was forced to .settle for a 2nd place, losing in the final round to highly-touted Clarion State wrestler, Wade Schalles. _ In last year's tourney, Jone trophy winners were Bruce Lear, 4th (150) and Dave Gregrow, 3rd (190). This year the Colonels and John Reese hope to regain their high status and do better than last years · disappointing showing. Last winter's outstanding wrestler award was captured by Clarion State's 126 pounder Tom Turnbull. The complete list of winners of the 44th annual tourney include: 118- Bill DePaoli. California State; 126- Tom Turnbull, Clarion State; 134- Paul Osmond, East Carolina; 142- Tom Bauer, Standridge, Clarion State; 167- Rich Rodriguez, N.C. State; 177- Jack Rauer, Ohio University; 190- Jerry White, Penn State; and heavyweight- Bill Bailey, Pitt. ROPIN' EM· Sophomore Ed Johnson looks like he's roping cattle in his 118 pound match against Lehigh on Tuesday. He steered clear of trouble and won an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand to git the Colonels buckin'. Photo by Bob Gaetano Charlie Brown to increase the Wilkes bulge to 19-6. At 167, Perry Lichtinger was not to be denied as he crushed Bill Anomilo, 15-4. He suffered a knee injury during the bout however, and it was not known at pres;; time whether he will mis;; any matches. .The Colonels had taken six of t he seven matches thus far and had the victory clinched before Lehigh had a chance to counter with their strong wrestlers in the upper weights. Gene Clemons was handled in a major decision by Collin Kilrain, 14-5. Kilrain was recruited heavily by Reese before finally deciding _on Lehigh. At 190, Doug Dre!£her was almost t he · sacrificial lamb. He was overwhelmed by All-World Mark Lieberman and was pinned at 3:34. At heavyweight, Dan House drew with Penn State Invitational Champ Mike Newburn by an 11-11 !£Ore. After the smoke cleared, the Colonels had been victorious in six of ten matches with a draw. It was a tremeendous win for the grapplers. The upse t ran the Wilkes record to 3-0 after wins over York ~· ?lt ,r~ "l(c,fflci$~ thunder of their own. Sophomore Ed Johnson started the ball rolling for Wilkes with an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand in the 118 pound cla$. Sloand had earlier in the week beaten Eastern champ Gene Mills of Syracuse in the Penn State Invitational. The good vibes started coming on strong when freshman Brian Billig astonished the crowd with a pin over Steve Bastianelli in the 126 cla$. Billig's pin came with only one second remaining at 4:59. ' The injury to Alex Grohol left Joe Napoli in the 134 bracket and he was outmatched in the weight clas;;ification. He is normally at 126 and was pinned by Doug Herrick at 7:26. The Momentum started to !>Wing Wilkes' way for good in the 142 bout, as they clung to their 9-6 lead. Coach Reese felt that if · they could win one of the first three matches they would be in pretty good shape. He was right again! Casper Torte Ila decisioned Greg Cunningham in a nail biter, 2-1. It was a bout that could have gone either way and ·the Colonels proved that they were tough enough to meet the challenge. Mark Densberger completely dominated Dennis Reed in the 150 match, winning a major decsion by an 11-3 count. Co-captain Greg MacLean followed with a 3:1 win over by jeff acornley and a championship in the Binghamton State Invitational Tournament. "We were flat during the York match and we wrestled horribly, despite t.he win," commented Reese. • "On Sunday, we rebounded well with six individual champions in the tourney. But on Tuel'day, it was anybody's gues;; as to whether the team was mentally prepared for Lehigh. That can be a harrowing experience. They were very quiet before the match, but once they got on the mat, they were confident despite the obvious home advantage that Lehigh has." Yesterday, the Colonels faced a very physical &JUad in the 4th ranked team from Oregon State. Coming off a brilliant 28-4 record of last season, the western team is loaded again. NCAA place winners Pat Plourd, Dick Knorr, Marty Ryan, and Howard Harris pace the team. · Concluding the Colonel slate before the break is a double dual match with Navy and Florida. The Middies have two EIWA place winners back this season and the Florida team is an up and coming southern powerhouse. If the Colonels survive the week in good shape, they have a great shot at being ranked nationally by the Amateur Mat News.

The FAF is a dual-purpose form: (1) it will be used by non-Pennsylvania residents to apply for the ~asic Grant; and (2) it must be completed by all students who apply t o t he College for aid through t he Wilkes Scholarship-Grant, Act 101 Grant, Nat ional Direct Student Loan, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant , College Work-Study, Nursing Scholarship and Loan, and Gulf Oil corporation Loan programs. l n the past, forms could be filed as soon as they became available, which was as early as September and October. This year, the forms will not be available until late December and t hey may not be filed before J anuary 1. The effect of this change is that families wiil not be able t o est imate 1977 income. By delaying filing until after J a nuary 1, t he 1977 information submitt ed will be actual figures, taken from either State of Federal Income Tax returns, or earnings statements or from records of non-taxable income. The filing deadline dates have not been changed. PHEAA requires the State Grant form to be received by them before May 1, 1978; t he c·ollege by April 15, 1978 and BE OG by March 15, 1979. This last date is somewhat immaterial because P ennsylvania residents must file t he Composite Form by May 1, 1978, and non- Pe nnsy l v ania r esiden t s should file the F AF by April 15, 1978. I t is, however, beneficial for t he student to complete and mail the application forms as soon after J anuary 1 as possible.

The vote was 80 in favor, 52 opposed, and one abstention. The vote was conducted by mail ballots after a poorly attended, highly disorganmid faculty meeting took two hand count votes on the important issue which resulted in two different decisions. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer, academic standing committee chairman, the committee is in charge of setting the procedures of how these new grades will be implemented into the grading system. The two options most talked about are administering the grades to tne next inr.ommg freshmen class and so on down as proposed by SG or to open this new grading system to all students for next year. What this committee decides will not need faculty approval. "I' m really happy it passed and I a little surprised" said Carl Holsberger, SG president who , drafted the proposal last year. "his proposal did go before tne ~ulty last year but since the :ademic St anding committee ,d not make any recommenda,j on one way or another, it was ruled out of order. The proposal . was sent back to the committee and was postponed until this year. The committee t hen reviewed SG' s proposed grading system along wit h the present one and one devised by Dr, Charles Reif. In brief, Reifs proposal dealt with having a numerical term on t he student's report card to represent his test -score average along with his normal grades. These proposals were presented to the faculty with no recommendations on any one and a mail vote was taken on the SG · proposal after the confusion at the last faculty meeting. . "I don't thinlc the presenC grading system is fair because the gap between 2.0 and 3.0 is :too__ big" explains Holsberger. In further reasoning for proposing· this grading system Holsberger said "We have now added three additional grades which will give a better measurement of the student's ability." · At the Student Goverment meeting Monday night it was reported that some of the professors do not understand how this grading system will be use d. One professor was noted as interpreting a grade·of B- as 2.5. As it stands now, professors use the grading system according to their own guidelines and must use a certain amount of their own judgment while adhering to the basic requirements of the system. "The new grades are considered plus grades not minus grades, in other words, a D+ ; Ct and B +" said Holsberger. He continued by saying "We did not add minuses because too many grade divisions is simply too confusing." Concerning the interpretation of the professor who feels a B- is a 2.5 Holsberger stated "a 2.5 is not a B-. A B- is a 3 in the present grading system and in t he SG system. This is the intent of the SG grading system. Jim Edwards Evaluation Of Theater Dept. Notes 1 Disinal' Conditions A recent evaluation of the Theater Department by a representa tive from Carnegie-Mellon · University notes that "lack of direction or structure, destruc- · tive vagueness or non-existence of objectives, insufficient or ineffective use of human or physical resources are apparent in every segment of the program." . Walter Eysselinck, a member of the Carnegie-Mellon Department of Drama, pointed to what he termed a "confidence crisis" in the department and claims that the core of the program is in "dismal shape." . In a four and one-half page report to Provost Richard Soter, he lists the most serious problem as the theater curriculum. "There appears to be no sense of priorities·, no sequence; there are very few, if any requirements or pre-- , requisites," he writes. "Some of the 1,ourses listed, if ever taught, have not been offered in years." . In his opinion, the department's problems are "too profound and general to be resolved by mere structural adjustment and change. It is rooted in a lack of competent and energetic leadership leading to the students' harsh criticism of the director of the program and to an unwillingness on the part of theater-oriented members of the English faculty to teach theater history and dramatic literature courses for which they are obviously qualified. This is indeed an impossible situation." . The theater program at the College exists as . part of the English curriculum, whereby a student can concentrate in theater, but majors in English. Although Eysselinck says that a number of students are "uneasy" about the place of the theater program in the English Department, and also says that the feeling is understandable in the "present Ul)happy climate," he sees no cause for major concern. . He does, however, point to a need for additional human resources within the theater department, specifically a wardrobe supervisor and a technical manager-shop supervisor. He continues in his report, "The theater department first and foremost needs a strong, experienced teacher of acting and directing who will also provide the leadership the program requires." He also &uggests that the department bring in visiting artists each semester to teach courses the college cannot afford to offer on a full-time basis. . Another fundamen_tal c_hange suggested by Eysselinck 1s · the separation of the management of the Dorothy Dfokson Darte Center for the Performing Arts from . the academic theater program. He notes that the limitations of available resources "in a crisis of this magnitude" and the "horrendous amount of work that needs to be done simultaneously" makes such a move advisable. Alfred Groh is suggested as the Soter Discusses Theater Report boasts a long list of achievements supposed to be doing. To in the theater, both in the United accomplish our objectives it States and in Europe. appears we need more than the According to Soter no direct present staff of two and a few action has been taken as a result hangers-on. "Unless some sort of change is of the evaluation because of the "staffing implications" involved effected, with the cun-ent rate of in the process which must include student attrition in the program, a review of needs on a we regretfully can look forward to college-wide basis. "The normal putting the facility (Center for the procedure is to assess those needs Performing Arts) in mothballs at and place them according to some future date, unless we turn it into some sort of community priority," he said.

Student, Faculty Concern Noted---The evaluation of the theater department was precipitated by "a number of stories from students and faculty who asked us to review the curriculum and staffing appropriate to the concentration, and to determine whether the faculty directly involved were of the caliber necessary to carry out the pro'Qclm," This statement was made b~ Provost Richard Soter, to whom the evaluation by Dr. Walter Eysselinck of Carnegie-Mellon University was addressed. . Eysselinck visted the campus in September, spending two days touring the facilities and interviewing students, faculty and administrators. According to Soter, all persons interviewed received a copy of the evaluation after the Provost received it in October. Soter termed Eysselinck an "objective observer, with no ties to anybody on campus." He also explained that Eysselinck was recommended by the National Endowment for the Humanities in Washington, D.C Eysselinck most suitable person for t he job of full-tiine director of the C.P .A., as "Mr. Groh possesses all the qualities necessary to handle the job on tfiis basis." . Another problem within the department, according to Eysselinck, is the failure of the C.P.A. to realize its full potential, since numerous meetings and lecture-type events could be re-located to make more time available for performances .•~lso, "wasted human resources are apparent, as faculty time and energy · should not be spent on servicing and maintenance duties, and "the proportion of student time and enthusiasm· that gets channelled into such crew assignments as box office seems exorbitant." . Eysselinck notes in his report that he was impressed with the "extent to which all of the people... I talked to share a justifiable pride in and concern for the mstitution, a commitment to guality .education in the best liberal arts tradition, and a keen awa~n~s of the place and the role of t_h e College in the local community. "That commitment makes the present situation of the theatre on this attractive campus all the more deplorable." Editor's Note: The Beacon contacted Mr. Groh, chairmll!l. of the Theater Department, for bis comments on the theater evaluation done by Dr. Eysselinck .. Mr. Groh . gave the following written statement to The Beacon. The Theater Department ~ recently visited by a professional colleague to give his opinions on potential changes ~d additions to the program. Like every other department of .the . college, we welcome fair and objective review of our activity. Over the years it has been my concern that the theater program constantly move in a forward direction and remain viable to serve all students interested in the libenl arts. Since the administration initiated the evalution, Hed it is only proper that the Provost and the President comment on the report submitted to Dr. Soter by Dr. Eysselinck. The report is in the hands of the administrative officials of the _,,.,·------·--·--·~--~~~~~~~~~~~~ College and it wu1 be their responsibility and decision to act on the report. Any decisions affecting changes and additions in departmental programs are made after careful and thorough consultation with the responsible personnel of the College. ••••NOTICE•••• There will be an important Freshman Class meeting on Tuesday, December 6 at 11 a.m. · in the CPA.

The committee is proposing a new parking policy for Wilkes College students at Park & Lock which is controlled by the Parking Authority of Wilkes-Barre. The proposal deals with charging fifty cents a day instead of the present $12 a month. All students would recieve a sticker allowing them this privilege. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, argues that the commuter will save in the long run and that with all students having these stickers, car pools will be easier to form. At present the monthly stickers are not transferrable from car to car which hinders the possibility of car pools. DeRobertis noted that dormitory students will also save in the long run because on weekends all the on campus lots are open for students to park their cars. Under new business, since the bus trip to New York city was such a success, CC is planning another trip during the Christmas break.

Bazzini also mentioned that if CC did not financially support the party ticket prices would be seven dollars for commuters and five dollars for dormitory students. After much discussion, CC decided to fund this party on the basis that it is being held off campus and these parties have been successful in the past. CC, however, will not put much suppport into the St. Valentine's Day party because it is held on campus as was the Halloween party.

To Bring The Honors Home The Wilkes College, Debate Union, coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of t he College Speech Division, continues to add more victories to its long list of accomplishments. The Debaters have just returned from two days of competition at George Mason University, Fairfax, Va., where they competed against 29 forensic insitutions of higher learning. The Wilkes Unit, consisting of Marcia Stratton, Davida Roberts, Donna Korba, David Evans, and Dr. Kinney, finished the tournament in the top ten percent, ending with an eighth place overall finish. Considering t he level of competition, previous student experience and budget limitations, the speakers from Wilkes made an impressive showing. Along with its fine overall finis h, Wilkes also · won two additional trophies. Donna Korba captured a fourth place win in Original Persuasive Discourse and Dr. Kinney was recognized by the host school as one of the outstanding coaches attending the tournament. The victories at George Mason University raise the number of awards won by the Debate Union this year to 26.

The cover would be used to protect the gym floor for concerts, dances and other events. Black has talked with Dean of Management, Andrew Shaw, and Business Manager, Charles Abate, and has concluded t.hat the administration may split the expenses of the floor covering with SG. It has been estimated that the total costs for the covering will be around $10,000. Without the covering, Dean Edward Baltruchitis,SG advisor,implied that no inore activities such as concerts, dances, and lectures would take place in the gym. Black stated that there is no question about the need for the covering,it is just a question of how much the administration and SG are willing to spend. In related business, Black reported that Sha Na Na is being considered for the spring concert. This concert would be held on March 15 or 16, the day of and the day after the end of classes for the Easter~Spring break. Most SG members expressed discontent with the dates - but feel Sha Na Na would be something different. No decision has been made yet.

He led a discussion on the scholastic calendar for next year. ·Topics discussed were starting the fall semester either before or after Labor Day, having a fall break before Thanksgiving and how many days should finals end before Christmas. Many different· views were expressed by SG members such as moving Christmas to the 29th. The only item most agreed upon was that there should be a fall break. Holsberger reported that Provost Richard Soter will attend Monday's SG meeting and will be open for suggestions on next year's . calender. · The only fund request at the meeting 'Yas by the MENC Club which received $75 to sponsor a workshop with the Pottstown Brass Quintet. The Quintet will appear at the College as part of the Concert and Lecture series on March 2. That afternoon MENC will sponsor a workshop with them open to all students in the surrounding area.

I D.ECKUUR'S BEE.R Across from Bishop Hoban -Imported Beers-Cold Beer-Quarters&Halves-Full Line of Beer<Must Have LCB Card ) �, PAGE 4, THE BEACON, DECEMBER 2, 1977 We Dave An Obligation... NO SMOKING----When a college newspaper obtains controversial information that could prove to be embarassing to the institution, the editors are forced to make a difficult decision--should the story be printed, the student body informed, tne responsibility accepted, or should the easy way be taken, and the information stifled? The answer we came up with is the only one we could give. Our responsibility is to the students of Wilkes College. When a situation exists that points to a problem with the quality of life at this college, we cannot pretend that the situation is a figment of someon's imagination or that it will go away if ignored. We could never justify our refusing to acknowledge or address problems on this campus if we have the information and the means to do so, for we would be betraying our fellow students and ourselves. We were faced with this type of decision when we came to possess information ftgarding an evaluation of the theater department. While it would have been easy for us to ignore this information, we felt that our obligation to the student body and to our own conscience did not allow us to do so. Although this issue goes further- than any of us realize, it is not one which could be fairly dealt with unless it were discussed openly. Part of our responsibilty as a newspaper is to present the story as fairly and accurately as we can, and then allow our readers to draw their own conclusions. This is what we have done. We have said in the past and will repeat that we have not and will oot print anything that deliberately sets out to harm this college and its image. We feel a deep sense of pride and concern for Wilkes and want to see the quality of its education continue to improve with time. Growth is often a painful process, however, and one must sometimes feel the pain before the process can begin. We hope that the administration, board members and others involved do everything in their power to make every aspect of Wilkes College something we can all be proud of.

Criticism Directed .Toward.Washer Fee To The Editor: I would }ilte to express my ex treme disapproval of the proposal by IDC to place a ' mandatory $5 addition to the room ,and board charges of dormitory students for the use of washing machines and dryers. Not only is this unfair to students who make little use of that equipment, but it also forces students to pay for facilities that are inadequate and in desperate need of repair. If I am to pay such a charge, then I would expect a concurrent improvement in those facilities. New and more machines must be purchased, for surely those machines now present have long since paid for themselves, cost little to maintain and therefore do not justify the room and board increase. . Before I pay, I would like to have reasons and assurances from maintenance to make me believe that things will improve, for · surely, in the past, they have not. · Yours truly, D.A.Huris - - - - - - - - - ~ By Tex and Fritz Dear Scooping Fans, It's us again Tex and Fritz, of course, bringing you more of the campus highlights.

We'd ,like to clear some of these poor souls by bringing you some of the hot scoops we have. Now, poor Nick Holgash ,- really! How can Nick write a column with a basketball in each hand? And Terry Schoen? Don't let him fool you with that hat. He has to have "right" and "left" engraved in his sneakers! And speaking of Terry -- what about Artie? We're ashamed that you even considered him! Three of the hottest scoopers.on campus are raging with jealousy. Gerald is so upset, he's been heard saying Novenas in his sleep! Scoop has it he's off to see the Pope (hey, maybe he's Tex and Fritz). Gerald, you've been had. Your days of head scoop man are over! ("B.U ."). Peggy Rentschler is not as upset as Gerald, but she has been s~n occasionaly lighting up the wrong end of her cigarettes and chewing gum with the wrapper still on. She also disclosed to our sources that she is planning a mental pilgrimage to the Himalayan Mountains .to consult a guru on the sad state of affairs at Wilkes. Sh~ is a little annoyed that she no longer gets any scoops. But really, peg, how do you keep your socks up? For the answer to this notorious question you'll have to go to Donahue's. Kevin will be happy to reveal his secret! Helen Stl,lbits is so wrapped up in solving the " Tex and Fritz Mystery," that she'll stop at nothing.

Now, what he didn't tell R.R.R. was that the building will be constructed out of 7,785,006,075,532.7 billion popsicle sticks, model number 329 and Elmer's glue! Cheer up, old folks, you will be provided with an elevator! What those poor " Geri's" don't know is that the Bear's idea of an elevator is two buckets and a rope on a pulley, of course! This home will be exclusive for Wilkes College Alumni. Scoop has it that Art Hoover has tabs on the 85th floor penthouse. And Joe has been quoted as saying, "Sure, I'll be the R.A." How's that for dedication? Just a quick little scoop for the fans -- John Lack has been notified that upon graduation he will be drafted by the "Toledo Torpedoes." Since the franchise has just started John has agreed to play all positions, provided he gets a ten-speed bike for away games. John has been .quoted as saying, yes, you guessed it -"Hey, I'm into it!"

Sf onsored by the Kiwanias Club o Wilkes-Barre, the club is comprised of approximately 43 members. . Some of the many projects the organization has been busy working with include, a recent car smash to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Other members answered telephones at the WNEP-TV Channel 16 studios for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy. Still others help at WVIA-TV Channel 44 by answering telephorres for a talk show. During any one month, Circle K members are involved in a variety of activities. A young man named Bob Feebish has been aided by Circle K members. · Following injuries he sustained in a tragic accident, he was left in need to therapy. The Circle K members help with the excercises, known as patterning. Their patient efforts have given him a second chance on life as his condition has improved. Anyone interested in offering their time to help should contact a Circle K member. Future Circle K projects include a dance to benefit Multiple Sclerosis, and an Easter collection of food to be distributed to needy families in the Wyoming Valley. One very special project is the Santa's Workshop, which will be held in the Bicentennial Building on Public Square.

All of a sudden (or more preferably, it seems, ~ince "Star Wars' was born) everybody wants to get into the act. God grief! First it was "Star Wars' now "Starship Invasions" and coming up, another s:ience fiction film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Even the Carpenters are singing about space men and flying bodies that go whrnT... as they implore "Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" (Whew!) to come in peace because we are their friends. But do they really exist? Honestly, little green men! Perhaps !J>me night these strange creatures just may contact our little orb. What then? Well, according to "Starship Invasions" we are already sharing our home (unknowingly) with the evtraterrestrials. . Among the "stars' are stars Christopher Lee and Robert Vaughn. Lee portrays a sinister alien leader determined to conquer earth, destroy its inhabitants and then repopulate it. What an array of evil doers! But it seemed particularly distresang to find Lee cast in such a role. After his magnanimous "Dracula" dramatizations it is just not fitting that he should pera>nify a character who, by the way, does not even speak; thoughts are "heard" not spoken. Still malevolent; ye~ and still dre!Hld in black Lee is, consequently, a bit of a let down in his alien role. The movie is not entirely composed upon evil guidelines, there are a few virtuous personages present. These al9> are aliens, they are "good" aliens as opposed to Lee's "bad" aliens. ( And as stated before, the martians aren't green, by the way, as in this case.) The good aliens are asasted by Vaughn, an astromomer and avid UFO fan, in saving the earth from Lee's treachery. Naturally the good aliens are dre!Hld in pastel colors, in white surroundings, signifying their worth. How creative; any vegetable can understand the black-white, good-bad theory, it's ancient as is this movie's plot. Somehow itpoi11e$eSthat archaic "Outer Limits" kind of flavor, relatively -over e-inphas.zed and now seemingly intolerable. This is the kind of movie whereby one leaves the theater, goes out into the parking lot and stares questionably into space. A snowy night, however, provides!J>me uncompromising restraints (such as limited visibility) and in this case, was most welcome. The "suicide disease" instigated by the renegade aliens as part of their conquest of the earth, caused several humans to willingly kill either themselves or those nearby, producing a considerable amount of gore. These s:enes were a bit too intense and too numerous. In contrast to the bloody epimes, "Starship Invasions'' is sprinkled (more like doused) with touches of femininity. Warning-these are "not" what would be expected. Evidently the martiamare very fond of our erotic forms of behavior. These sparsely costumed females display provocative mannerisns, producing sex-oriented s:enes not well suited for this type of show. A typical example is the farmer who is captured.by the aliens after which he is seduced by a sexy alien female. He later commits suick.J. bconceivable! As for preferences, it seems the crazy antics of the two computerized comics from "Star Wars' are better merited than the actions in "Starship Invasions." However, to those who yearn for the old "Twiligt Zone'"' Outer Limits'' -type presentation, "Starship Invasions'' might provide great comfort.

Bits Of Long Lost Legislation Throughout the eons there have been many laws lost in the struggle; the struggle of time. Many of these laws have indeed become obsolete (Thank God!) yet it must be remembered that in their day and age they were considered ve1y reasonable. Because these reasons no longer exist, we today might possess the tendency to call them pure foolery. Consequently, however, they were at one time very real! Here we will attempt to reproduce just a few of these lost laws. After surviving over 12 weeks of tests, term papers, eight o'clock classes, registration, and the food in the caf, Wilkes students are n<'w in for another fun-filled experience. . Yes, now ~hat the e~d of classes is finally in sight, and as a long, l::..zy party-filled vacat10n glows in the distance, there is one last hurdle to be crossed. The epilog of the semester is known as finals week. For so~e students, the schedule may not be so bad, for others, two exams may be scheduled at. the same time or one exam may be on December 12 and there may not be another until December 20. And what can be more fun than a Saturday afternoon final? But, if the student population can survive this long, surely a little more strength can be mustered for the "final stretch!"

The Studs, who placed second in the post-season polls behind the Riders, landed four of the coveted spots. - Stud Reisman Trophy candidate Steve " Snake" Grasley told the Beacon, " I'm totally thrilled, this is the greatest moment in my life.

After partaking of the fruit cup, which consiste d of several s:rimmages and t he Alumni Meet, the team is now ready to begin devouring the appetiz e rs. But before the end of t he week they will be into the main course of their meal; ready or not. The Colone ls ope ned their season last night in what was hope d to be an appetiz er of a match. York College was the opponent and although t hey are a good team, the Colonels figured to handle them without too much difficulty. The two teams haven't been matched against each other for three ye ars. The southern Pennsylvania s:hool posted a 13-4 record last year and have already been victorious in an early season tourname nt. Next on t he menu is t he Binghamton Invitational Tour- nament which will be held on Sunday, December 4. Hosted by Binghamton, the other s:hools invited to participate are Cornell Gettysburg, and Wilkes. It is a double entry tourney where each team enters two men in each weight class. This gives every wrestler at least two matches including the consolation round. The Colonels have been involved in this tourney twice and have come home with the champion~ip trophy both times. " It is a very fine tournament," commented Coac!J John Reese. "It is especially suited to our needs because it gives us a chance to get some live action unde r our belts before we are exposed to some of t he giants on our s:hedule ."

CAPIN ADDRESSES SG TO CLARIFY REPORT President Robert Capin made a surprise appearance at the Student Government meeting Monday night (Nov. 7) in which he heatedly discussed the academic committee's report which he overheard while in the lobby of Weckesser Hall. An apparent disagreement existed between Capin and Dave Evans, chairman oi,. the academic committee, concerning action taken at a recent faculty meeting during which SG's proposed decimal grading system was voted upon. · ]t was reported that two votes were taken on the issue, one to . recount the results of the close first vote, and that the second vote went the opposite way, again by a close margin. (The proposal was defeated the first time, and approved the second.) The final result is that a mail ballot will be conducted to obtain the votes of all faculty members, since only 80 out of 140 were present at the meeting. DeROBERTIS DEFENDS FUNDING DECREASE Commuter Council President Louie DeRobertis defended the council's decision to cut back on party spending..after the recent Halloween proved to be unsuccessfuE He reported that the Student Government Executive Qouncil and IDC were not pleased with CC's decision, but that- he-was not happy_ that no one came to the CC meeting to expresirthIS··opitiion.- --~DeRobertis, in explaining why CC is willing to spend only half the money it usually does on major parties, said, "We are not worried about losing money, we want our parties to be a success." He also indicated that CC will try to promote new activities on campus. NO FINAL DECISION MADE ON WASHERS -Housing Director Joe Marchetti said at the Nov 6 IDC meeting • that the decision to institute a $5 semester charge for ~shers and dryers is not final until approved by the administration. Washers and dryers can be used free of charge for the remainder of the semester as soon as this ~s approved.

Anyone Ballots Sent To Faculty Concerning Proposed Grade Systen Dave Evans, ach ~emic committee chairman, reported at the Student Government meeting Monday evening that ballots have been sent out to the faculty to vote on the SG grading system proposal. This proposal deals with the introduction of the grades 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 into our present grading system for the next incoming fresmJU1n class. These ballots were sent out to the faculty as a result of the recent faculty meeting which, because of much disorder and poor attendance, could not take decisive action on the proposal. The faculty took two different votes on the issue of which the first vote defeated it by one vote while on the second vote· the , proposal won by one vote. Once the faculty members receive the ballots, they will only vote on the SG grading proposal. Dr.J.B.

Frosh Election Tied; Runoff Held Yesterday Grade Policy Approved As Aid ForStudent Cum Students who have received a 1.0 or a 0.0 grade in a course may now take the course over to drop that grade from their cum. This new policy was approved at the last faculty meeting which was highlighted by the controversial issue of the decimal point grading system proposed by Student Government. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer of the Educa ti on Department and chairman of the faculty Academic Standing Committee, the faculty has been discussing this policy for years. In the recent past, however, a subcommittee of this committee was looking into the policy in which they gave a favorable report. The faculty Academic Standing Committee then gave a positive recommendation to the faculty. _ This policy means that if a student receives a 1.0 or a 0.0 in a class, he or she may take the course over. If they improve upon their old grade, their cum will be readjusted to reflect the new grade and ignore the old one. If a student receives a i.0 or a 0.0 again, their cum would not be readjusted. "You can't lose on it," said Hammer. Since it is illegal to erase anything from a transcript, the original grade will remain there. As asterisk, · however, will be placed next to the old grade indicating t hat this grade is no longer involved in the cum average. This new policy -is not going to affect a large number of students according to Hammer. He feel~ that students who have switched their major and want to bring up their cum are · the most likely candidates to take advantage of this new policy.

According to Evans, he feels SG's proposal has a much better chance of winning the support of the faculty rat.ber than the 50-50 chance of winning he stated last week. Evans also reported that he and President Robert Capin met last week and have come to friendly terms. At last week's meeting Evans gave his report of the faculty meeting which Capin overheard during the SG meeting and made a surprise appearance to the body to heatedly clarify the repo~t Eva~s made.

It seems a few weeks back, the club thought it received money from S.G. to go on a trip to New York City. They went on the trip but upon returning found out that they were in debt by $60 which SG now granted to them. Concerning the idea of consolidating the three student bodies; SG, IDC and CC, Carl Holsberger, SG president, asked the body to consider instead better communication between the three bodies. Holsberger is suggesting that all three council presidents attend each of the other council's meetings. It is argured that this will open up the communication lines between the three bodies.

The benches and Circle K As Part When you think of a mini-park, you think of a small place where you can go to rest and relax. Circle K has created a new mini-park that is just such a place. The new park is located near Bedford Hall and in front of the Dining Hall of New Men's Dorm. Two benches, supplied through the Business Office, have been placed in the park for everyone's use. The several trees in the park area are gray birches and have been supplied by the Circle K members themselves. In the center of the park is a circular hill planted with various species of bushes and shrubs which, when grown and shaped will form a W in a circle. Circle K has also installed a cement plaque reading "dedicated to Wilkes Circle K Nov. 1 '77."

Other aspects of "Embrace Humanity" are to enrich human life through the association with the lonely; to sustain human life through health projects; to save human life through public safety; and to recognize human lives dedicated to serving mankind. Most of the funds for the park project have come from the Circle K's own treasury with the remainder expected to come from the Student Government or through Mr. Abate in the Business Office. Planning started in the beginning of October. It was then that the members were given the go-ahead to begin construction by Mr. Abate but due to rainy weather construction took longer than expected. Circle K members did all of the work themselves. If the park proves to be ·beneficial to the Wilkes Community the administration has plans to let Circle K develop more empty lots on campus.

Delays Occuring In Constructing New IDC Office Tom Bazzini, IDC president, explained the delay in construction of the new IDC office. The new office was proposed at the beginning of this semester, but construction never came about, and the contractor was dismissed because of some trouble getting parts for the office. A different contractor was hired, and he is expected to begin construction soon in the lobby of New Men's Dorm. Concerning the Commuter Council's decision to cut party spending after the "flop" of the Halloween party, Bazzini reported "no ill feelings" between IDC and CC because of this. The decision on how these parties will be financed in the future is not definite. Joe V. Cribari To Be Featured The noted · English character actor, Peter Bull, will present "An Evening of Bull," sponsored by the Theater Department, on Wednesday, November 30 at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. · Bull presents a unique combination of lecture and acting, reminiscences and discussions, RESPONSE REQUIRED It was reported at Commuter Council meeting Monday afternoon that the Inter-Dormitory Council is not happy with CC's decision to cut their share of party funding in half. CC decided two weeks ago, after it's disasterous Halloween Party that it would cut it's party funding and try to promote new activities on campus. Tom Bazzini, IDC president, implied at the Student Government meeting that because of CC's decision, IDC is going to run into financial difficulties funding the Christmas party. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, stated CC and IDC simply do not see each others logic behind the issue. " So we will just spend the money the way we want to" said DeRobertis. · Under other council matters, it was announced that the first meeting of the Advisory Council for the Capital Gifts Campaign will be tomorrow. This Campaign will be conducted in order that a major goal of the College such as a new dorm, addition to the gym, or a new SUB be financed. DeRobertis, however, reported that the possibility of a new dorm is now in jeopardy since the school.did not receive a loan from the Department of Housing Urban Development. He did add that the administration is considering remodeling the Carriage House that carries the audience along in freely floating, seemingly spontaneous presentation that avoids the bulldozing effect that some drama forms create. Bull touches on various humorous episodes from his life and acting career with a less than bullish air. In fact, he suppl <'ments his stand-up narrator act with sevflral scenes from films aild plays he has performed in and quotations from some of his humorous works, including his "Teddy Bear Book'. A character actor of forty years standing in the English and American Theater, he has created such diverse characters as Pozzo in "Waiting For Godot;' Tappercoom in "The Ladys Not For Burning;' Sgt. Buzfuz in " Pickwick' and Tetzel in "luther'. a: On screen, his Russian Ambassador in "Doctor Strangelove;' Thwack um in "Tom Jones' and Duchess in the recent " Alice In Wonderland' have received world-wide acclaim. Bull rose from ordinary seaman to Commander in World War II. He participated in the Sicily, Saterno, Anzio landings and the Dieppe Raid.He was awarded th-a Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry in action. In addition to his acting, Bull has authored eight books, whicr have been mostly autobiographical. The exception was "The Teddy Bear Book: which caused a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. Bull has made guest appearances ori many talk shows with his collection of Teddy Bears. ~!;_UM~~ORD NL .....ht. L.,..

The sad part is that it is not some nameless, faceless person who watched almost $1000 go down the drain-it was all of us. I Muy people do not seem to realize that every student at Wilkes DOES pay for The Beacon, since part of the $20 activity fee we pay each year is allocated to The Beacon to help pay for weekly publishing costs. Whether we like it or not, we are all involved in this incident, and the only people we will hurt ·by turning our backs on this situation are ourselves Other people were affected more than othErS by the alleged theft of the papErS. Obviously we at The Beacon are not happy to see so many hours of work, hassles and headaches go to waste. But we're not alone in our loss. The freshman class held elections last Thursday and in an attempt to promote interest in the lagging class elections, The Beacon ran a story interviewing the four presidential candidates.

Sturdevant Responds To CC To The Editor: This letter is in reply to the article concerning CC's complaint about their Halloween prrty on Oct. 29. We think that CC Pres. DeRobertis was talking off the top of his head when he said the Sturdevant party was the reason Alumnus Defends John Chwalek for the CC-WC 1>_arj;y's _fllUure. The facts are that (1), Sturdevant hadn't advertised its party until the Wed. and Thurs. before the CC party. We didn't sell tickets until Thurs. night--in fact, only 10 tickets were sold on Thurs. The CC party had been advertised at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance and plenty of people could have purchased tickets, if "hey wanted to go. Second, the cost of the CC party was more than most students could afford. Because of this, the girls in Sturdevant asked if they could have a party. Since it was approved by the Housing Office, we went ahead with plans. We cant help and shouldnt be blamed for the failure of CCs party. Obviously, CC has no one else to blame, therefore Sturdevant was used as a s_capegoat.' It really doesnt matter a whole lot to us that we were blamed, because we know it was not our fault. We didnt plan our party with the intention of taking away from CCs party.And we think it is very unfair and immature of the CC president to put us down in that way. Were just defending ourselves against unfounded allegations. .

Such was the genesis of Mia's musical intrigue. Her talents, piano playing and voice, may well be God-given since she has never had a lesson in either area, yet she devotes this ability to the donor; she sings about God. " Most of my songs, really all of my songs have to do with God," Mia told me, relating her experience with the church. "They told me to come up and paly the piano and I could hardly play it then but it encouraged me to play." Mia's father also appears to have played an important role in influencing her musical fascination as she related,"My father plays by ear too. So I would look at him play and wonder how he did it." , Mia was only 13 then, but the intermediate time span has not deterred her purpose and ~rtainment regarding the outcome of ly has intensified her talents.

This could be one of the Colonels major problems when the brutally tough s:hedule is taken into consideration. .At 16, Mark Densberger is back but Dan Morrison will be filling in until Mark recovers from his injury. .Co-captain Greg MacLean has re t urned to take command of the 15 slot but Denny Jacobs and Ben M cCullem will see plenty of action in the middl · weights. Perry I ,chtinger, last years super-sub, has found' a h1 ne at 167 with Bill Karpovich and Mike Saccitella providing aµiple competition.

Dave Gregrows 19 position will be fille d by Rick Smith, who move d down from heavyweight. The backup will be Steve Gobble. . Co-captain Dan House re turns to fill the heavyweight slot and Smit h can move up in the event of injury. Bob Matzelle has transferred from Army but. has to sit out for a year. Troviding the starting lineup doesnt get folded,spindled,or mutilated t he Colonels will have solved half of their problem. The other half will not be solved wit h such an easy answer. Many leS90ns will be learned by the unde rclassmen whe n the " big boys' on t he s:he dule roll into town. If positive attit udes, hard work and dedication,and superb coaching have anything to do with succe s,, t he Colonels will be very competitve t his year de spite the projected problems of inexperience and dept h. Jeff Acomley The biggest question mark that is hovering like a storm cloud vver the Wilkes wrestling camp is whet her a positive attitude and hard work can overcome severe lacks of depth and experience. This is the question that has to be dealt with by coat I John Reese and his merry band of wrestlers as they prepare to take the wraps off a brand new season. This years' team has quite an act to follow. Last season t he squad set a record with 17 wins, finished a respectable fourth in the EIWA tournament, and ranked 28th in the National Tournament at Oklahoma University. Duplicating that effort will take a lot of desre , not to me ntion a lot of luck. "Through graduation, transfers, and injuries, we have lost si.x of our starting 10 wrestle$id Reese ."This might accurately be des:ribed as a re quilding year'. Gone are Bruce Lear, Lon Balum, Rick Mahonski, and Dave Gregrow via graduation as well as Glynn Mansfie ld and Bart Cook t hrough transfer and injury.The status of Cook is still questionable at t his time because he is in t he proces, of be ing examined by se veral doctors in order to determine his availability. Not only are the top line starters miS"ing · from last years siuad, but there are _se veral who were expected to se e ple nty .of action during the curre.nt campaign. Matt Sintbne aqd Dennis Flannigan are among t he most notable among t he no-shows. The re are proble ms among even those who did s ow up at practice. Injuries have taken their toll, already claiming Mark Densberger (sprained ankle), De nny Jacobs (shoulder bruise), and Be n McCullem (broken finger). At 118, Ed Johnsm, Billy Dodge, Bob Crawford,and Gino Girelli are all fighting for Mansfield!;; vacated spot. The 126 slot that belonged to Rick Mahonski for so long is now up for grabs among Don Gaetano, Joe Napoli, and Bryan Billig.

Main St., Wilkes-Barre Phone 822-4171 or 822-4172 Soccermen Close Year With Double Defeats Wilkes College completes its 1977 season in the MAC soccer division last week, recording a disappointing 3-8 log. The Colonels got off to a slow start, losing five matches before breaking into the win column. In their season opener, Wilkes lost a 4-1 decision to Upsala. After losing the first contest of a campaign, it is very difficult to get on the winning track. The Blue and Gold finally snapped its losing streak with a 4-3 overtime victory over Baptist Bible, but were unable to be consistent as they lost next to the University of Scranton, 4-1. The Colonel booters recorded their second win by defeating Albright, 1-0. It wasn't until their eleventh game of the year that the Colonels added a third win to its record, edging Delaware Valley, 3-1. The Colonels at- · tributed that win to a large crowd that turned out to cheer them to victory. Last week's action saw Wilkes drop two matches to close the season. On Wednesday, Coach Eaton and his forces travelled to Carlisle to meet Dickenson College, but returned home with a 5-3 loss. Hopes were high as Wilkes jumped out in front with a quick 2-0 lead, but they were unable to hold the advantage. Lenny Vekkos scored twice for the Colonels and co-captain Tony Apostolaros hit the scoring nets once. The Colonels hoped to finish their season with a win, but ended on the short end of a 3-0 decision. Madison FDU played a physical game and Wilkes just couldn't stay with them. FDU's captain opened the scoring with an unbelievable · volley shot from twenty yards out. Colonel goalie Cliff Brautigan said, " I've never seen anything like it except in the pros. It was quite a crowd pleaser, since the pass never hit the ground. Timing and coordination were exceptional. " The key to- the Madison win was possesion, " commented Eaton. When Madison had the ball, it seemed as if they knew exactly how to crack the Colonel defense. Another factor which helped them was their brand of -physical play, although it frequently caused trouble. One player for FDU r eceived a warning when the official caught him taking a cheap shot at Zooniv. Although Wilkes was unable to find the nets, co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Tony Apostolaros set up a lot of shots on goal. Len Vekkos almost scored but an excellent save by the goalie erased the threat. Madison took 17 shots on goal to Wilkes 11 and Colonel goalkeeper, Cliff Brautigan, made 11 saves. Playing their last game in a Blue and Gold uniform were Tony Apostolaros, Len Vekkos, Steve Kinback and Ed Finn. Scoring ,., leaders were Mario Apuzzo, with nine'; Tony Apostolaros, five; Lenny Vekkos, four; Dung Chi Duong, two; Joe Piccone, and Nick Golowich, one each.

At first I thought all you had to do was put on a uniform and play baseball." Th ose were the words of Jim Stehle, former Wilkes pitching ace, and now a hurler in the San Diego Padres farm system, concerning the adjustment · from college ·to professional baseball. Stehle has just returned from the west coast, where he participated in the Instructinal League, after finishng his first season of Class A ball with the Reno, Nevada Silver Sox. When the lefty was selected in the sixth round of last ' years draft, he was assigned to the Reno team, . which had already played half of its season. Stehle did not have to go to the rookifrball league like other draftees. Instead he went right to Class A competition, where they needed pitchers. Stehle did not set the league on fire with Reno, but he did impress Padre officials so much that they selected him to be one of eight pitchers chosen for the Instructional League with San Diego. The traveling, according to Jimmy, was unlike other minor Sportsmanship · Evident The site of Seth Silver tearfully turning- _over the game ball to the Riders in a touching congratulatory gesture after his team,the "'' Smegma~. had once more lost t he title game,exemplified the type of sportsmanship that had been -f . displayed by the entire league throughout the course of the \ intramural footb a ll season . L ea g ue commissioner Mike (Gater) Aed would like to thank all t hose teams which contributed, with special thanks to the clubs which showed up for every game, and head referee Brian Roth , would like to extends thanks to those who didnt. On the · other side of t he Spectrum, congratulations must be extended to the Sturdevant Hall basketball team, which captured the womens basketball crown with a perfect 6-0 record. For the women of Sturto, who clinched the title with a 23-17 victory over Hollenback, the big guns al: season long were J oAnn " Pi,;tol' Mican, Amy "Flash' Gordon.and Jo Ellen "Cheese' Lacotta. Head coach Sharon Wilkes also credited much of t he teams success to t he fact that Gail ' Powers, Mary Giblin, and Dawn "LED ZEPP E LIN' Kelly never showed up for any of the games.

Reno played such teams as Fresno, Lodi, and Medesto, all in the California area . When Reno played at home it would draw very well, with the Sox being the only professional baseball team iri the state of Ne, ada. Nevada' s govenor was a frequent visitor at Sox contests. When he first arrived at Reno, Jim said it took him a while before he really fit in with the rest of the team."after a while, the other players would come up to you and just talk about anything to relieve your nervousness." He also mentioned that there was a big difference from college to pro, in the way the opposition treated you. "When I was at Wilkes, and we played Elizabethtown or somfrbody like that, they would heckle me throughout the game, but in the minors, everybody is in the same boat. Nobody make fun of you, they all try to help each ot her, en the ot her team." The lefty explained the reason for the Instructional League. "It is mainly used for the purpose to cut off years of minor league ball for- a top prospect. If a guy in Class A ball goes to the Instructional League and has a good season, he might jump right to Class AAA ball. J im said t he highlight of his professional career so far was his last game he pitched in t he IL, when he fired a onfr- hitter against t he Angels a nd t heir Class AAA, No.2 draft pick pitcher Bob Ferris, from t he University of Maryland, 1-0.

Coach Bearde feels his 1977-78 cage team has what it takes, and can be No. 1. "Right no'(v, we're out to prove something. The last couple of years, people figured us to be contenders and it didn't work out. This season, nobody thinks we can win, and we're out to prove ourselves," stated the 6lonel mentor. Bearde has a well-balanced club to work with, in eight lettermen returning, mixed with other veterans and a fine crop of four freshmen. Bearde said Wilkes will use a controlled offense this year, opposed to last season's nm and gun style. "We won' t be running that much this year, except on a steal or when we need it." One area where Bearde said Wilkes will have to come through in is at the center and power forward positions. Big Jeff Baird and John Zapko are the main men here. Zapko, who averaged 13.2 points per game last season, and led the team in rebounds with 163, will be counted on to put points on the board. The tall, lanky 6-6, 175 pounder has to be considered as one of the top shooters among the big men in the MAC ' Zap" hit on better than 50 per cent from the field a year ago, in addition to being very durable, while appearing in all 22 Wilkes games. Baird, the biggest and maybe the quietest of the 6lonels, is another key to the Blue and tild's success. The 6-7, 210 pounder averaged 8.5 points per game last year and was second in rebounds, although only playing in 16 games. Baird, who plays a lot like Bob i.nier of the Btons, is the muscle man for Wilkes inside, while Zapko compliments him with lazor-beam outside shooting. Fillinf in at the other forward spot or where necessary are: former Wyoming Area star G>rge Oschal; well-known sports columnist Bob Welsh; Meyers grad Don Winder; and Ed Van Buren, a returnee from last year's jayvee squad. Oschal who Bearde calls "one of the best shooters on the club," will be cahed upon to display the form he showed at Wyoming Area as an all-scholastic. Welsh, is a John Havlicek type of ball-player, who is ready for any position at anr time ~o help the tea_m. Winder, one of the four freshmen, 1s showmg good form m the early practices and word is from Meyers' grads that Winder is one of the most hustling players to ever play for Jim Williams at the South Wilkes-Barre school. Van Buren is a 6-3, 180 pounder from Boyertown, who was one of the top scorers on the Wilkes jayvee team a year ago. . The guard position will be handled by: captain Ken Hughes, who will act as the playmaker; Nicky Holgash, Mr. Hustle; Terry Schoen, a man of a thousand moves; and sweet-shooten Artie Meigh. Hughes, a 6-2, 165 pounder from the Bronx, N.Y., was selected to be captain a week ago, and feels he can do the job. " I'm thrilled, and I hope I can carry out the role bf a captain to the best of my ability," added Hughes, who averaged 11.8 points per game and led the team in assits and steals a year ago. Holgash and Schoen form a type of " Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid" duo. Holgash is a scrapper and hustler on defense, while Schoen is the confidant offensive player. Both will have to have fine years for Wilkes, as the Colonels f3:ce _so1:1e toug~ backcourt men in the MAC. For example, Paul Miermck1 and Phil J ohnson of t he Scranton Royals. Meigh, the only sophomore letterman on the '. "afn, is a p_ure shooter from the field and bet ter yet, from the t he fr~ t hrow stnpe, where he hit on 20 of 22 shots last season. Meigh was a capable substitute last year, and is even better this season. The other t hree freshmen on the team are: forward Mike McCarrie; guard John Stevens; and guard Rick Leandri. McCarrie played for last year' s Phladelphia Catholic Champion F ather Judge team, where he lettered two years. Stevens is a 6-2, 170 pounder from Belle Mead, N.J ., where he captained Hillsborough High Schol in his senior year. Leandri, a former Bishop O' Reilly standout from Luzerne, lett ered three years while at t he Kingston school. ·. Rounding out the 1977-78 Wilkes COllege basketball team 1s junior guard Rick Marshall. Marshall, a 5-9, 175 pounder from Hazelton, was a backcourt man for t he Wilkes jayvee team last year. . With his roster set, Bearde s~s the only problem this year for the Colonels being the schedule. "The schedule is going to hurt us for two reasons. One, after we play Dec. 13, we are off untill J an. 14, roughly a five-week layoff, with no practices or games. And two, we play all our t ough conference road games first, an~ t hen end ~he year wit h the teams at home. We have to hope not to start out with a bad streak." Bearde sees the Royals of Scranton University and Albright College as being the favorites in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Scranton coach Bob Bessior said his team will finish no less than third in the nation in Division III. Bearde and the boys will have something- to say about that before the season ends. .

One SG representative suggested that a st udent be included in the counting of t he ballots. Evans said that " our chances of winning in a full fac ulty vote are about 6- 5'. ' H e also added t hat " t he support for the proposal is mainly from the younger prl)fessors'.' After SG completed the agenda, Vice president Larry Assalita, presiding for the reportedly ailing Carl Holsberger, turned the meeting over to Capin. , Capin said he wanted to speak because he heard Evan's r-eport when he came in and did not feel that it was accurate.According to Capin, the first faculty vote was recounted, ra t her t han contested, as Evans reported. This was done because t he vote was "too close for comfort over a big issue like this" , according to Ca pin. However the second vote turned t he_res_ults around. Capin,who appeared to be upset wit h the situation, pointed out t hat a faculty member suggested t hat since not' every faculty member attended the important meeting, the entire faculty should . be polled. Capin agreed with this, and therefore both votes were regarded as not reflecting t he full view of the faculty. " It is t oo important an issue to let it go by without knowing t he best interests of all concerned, ' said Capin. He also sternly reprimanded Evans for not reporting the facts,and said he felt that Evans put him (Capin) "in a bad light'. Evans apologized for t he report, but stated that he got his information from three faculty members who did attend the meeting. When questioned by SG members about the future of the prop_o~al,Capin couJd not give~ ny speci.f1c answers, but promised that action is being taken to get an accurate vote from the faculty. Dr. Eugene Hammer, faculty academic standing committee chairman, when contacted by The Beacon the next day, verified t he report by Capin that the second vote was taken in order to recount t he first vote. Hammer said that when the second vote yielded the discrepancy, "President Capin used his prerogative" and took a suggestion by a faculty member t o disregard both votes and take a mail ballot vote.

At last week 's CC meeting, the council decided that since the Halloween party was a disaster, the council is only willing to spend half the amount usually spent on the parties ·they sponsor with IDC. Instead they a re going to try to prom te new activities on campus. DeRobertis stated that , " We are not worried about losing money, we want our parties to be a success. " He also added that most people he had talked to agreed with the philosophy of the trees provide a place for resting and enjoying the Council's decision. Concerning scenery. Bazzini and others being aggravated, DeRobertis said, "That is too bad." Under new business, it was reported that tickets for the bus to New York City, which the council is sponsoring, are on sale in the CC office in Weckesser Hall or by conta cting any CC representative. The bus will leave from the Sterling Hotel a t 7: 15 a.m ., Wednesday, November 23. It will arrive in New York at 10 a .m . and everyone is at their own free will to do whatever he or she would like. The bus will leave the city at midnight. The cost per person for the trip is $8.50. DeRobertis reported that Carl Holsberger, SG president, is now in favor of consolidating SG, me, and CC into one body after being violently opposed to the idea. He wants to test this idea that has been discussed by all three bodies in which all are opposed. More discussion of this idea will be held in the near future . Jim Edwards Circle K Creates Mini--P ark As Part Of Service Proiect When you think of a mini-park, you t hink of a small place where you can go to rest and relax. Circle K has created a new mini-park t hat is just such a place. The new park is located near Bedford Hall and in fron t of the Dining Hall of New Men's Dorm. Two benches, supplied through the Business Office, have been placed in t he park for everyone's use. The several trees in the park area are gray birches and have been supplied by t he Circle K members themselves. I n t he center of the park is a circular hill planted with various species of bushes and shrubs which, when grown and shaped will form a W in a circle. Circle K has also installed a cement plaque reading " dedicated to Wilkes Circle K Nov. '77." · Circle K built the park as part of its " Embrace Humanity" project which is to assure the continuity of human life through th e protection of natural resources. Other aspects of "Embrace Humanity" are to enrich human life t hrough the association with the lonely; to sustain human life through health projects; to save human · life through public safety; and to recognize human lives dedicated to serving mankind. Most of the funds for the park project have come from the Circle ~ own treasury with the remainder expected to come from th e Student Government or through Mr. Abate in the UEL~OLR"S BEER Business Office. Planning started in the beginning of October. It was then that the members were given the go-ahead to begin construction by Mr. Abate but due to rainy weather construction took longer than expected. Circle K members did all of the work themselves.

The observations were taken with two of the College's telescopes especially adopted for solar viewing and photography. The photo sequence, taken by Physics students John Gerboc and John Bremser, shows the disc of the moon as •it passes across the face of the sun, partially obscuring it. The eclipse lasted two hours with 17 percent of the sun's disc covered at maximum. The eclipse produced a slight dimming of the daytime brightness which observant Valley residents may have noticed. The photographs also show several sunspots. These are areas on the surface of the sun of high magnetic force and low temperature [only 6400 degrees instead of the usual 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit].

This twisted soul, who finds an 1 outlet for his deviate ways on poor unsuspecting trees, bushes and shrubbery, is, I theorize, a victim of a poor family upbringing. He, in youth, was probably subjected to a weak father image; this would explain for his obsession with such masculine and phallic objects as trees. · After his guise of the treemanic was exposed his illness, yes his ·mness manifested itself into ·cosmic rays; which is just an indirect way of conveying his never ending obsession.

Vol. I -- No. IX CAREER OPTIONS FOR WOMEN More women are seeking employment o_utside the home. The changed behavior of married college women graduates has significantly contributed to this increase. Moreover, expanded job opportunities for women have been created largely through Women's Rights Movements and federal legislation emphasizing equal rights and equal pay. Yet there are still large numerical gaps between the men and women employed in the areas of law, politics, medicine, business, engineering and architecture. Example, women comprise50 percentof the eligible voters in the United States and there are no women serving in the Senate at the present time. Freshman women can begin now to prepare for the new dimensions that will open to you as a woman upon graduation. Now is the time to begin a career planning program. Consult the Placement Office and talk to a Career Planning Counselor. The Career Planning Library has a listing of "Career Opportunities for Women" by Garrett Park Press. Moreover, the Career Planning Office has a host of. materials affecting career opportunities for women. A career opportunities bibliography for women is available as is a listing of non-profit employment agencies that assist in locating available jobs for women. A series of booklets about career options for undergraduate women has been published by Catalyst, a non-profit organization that helps women choose, prepare for and advance their careers. · The booklets are designed to help women consider jobs at managerial and professional levels in ten fields among them, finance, government, politics, restaurant management and sales. Each publication includes information about educational requirements and job prospects, as well as interviews with active women in the field. Catalyst was founded in 1962 with the assistance of five college - presidents. Othe publications include resume - preparation materials and a career opportunity series for women who have attended college and are redefining their career plans.

You can't do this to me!Please I beg you,no," cried the frantic student as he knelt on both knees,his hands gripping the edge of the table. Behing him the line of other students waited nervous,frightened,and anxious for their turn to be over. ''I'm sorry, there is nothing that can be done for you,either accept the situation or leave the school" came the cool.composed voice from the other side of the table. "What? Leave Wilkes? What will my family and friends say? Leave? And never be able to eat the delicious food in The Commons,fight for a parking place and give up my chair in the lounge of Stark. You can't be . serious?" "I'm telling you for t he last time.young man,either take Skydiving 101,Basketweaving 300 and an Independent Study on Road Construction in . WilkesBarre or transfer for a semester.

And with the help of the · usual poetry reading-goers, a "sweet" introduction, and an adjustment to the dimness, it was almost pleasant. Who would have ever guessed though, that with the additional presence of one John Hollander, that ·an air of magic could have been produced, all the way down there in the basement of Stark? ... But there it was. Just seeping out of the walls and flowing along the floor up to everyone's shoes ... and untying them. Hollander, who is currently an associate professor of English at Yale, has had several books of poetry published, along with a book of criticism, '\The Untuning of _the Sky. He has edited both "The Laurel Ben Jonson, and with Harold Bloom, The Wind and the Rain, an anthology of verse for young people. In 1963, he was awarded a grant by the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He spoke for two hours, answering questions at the end. At times it seemed as though he would cry. At other times during the reading it was hard to discern whether it was his poetry he was reading or if it were si!nply his own comments, for the man was mercurial. Weaving patterns of antipodes back and forth, in and out - he never let you rest. The John Hollander poetry reading h~d a bit of magic to offer everyone. It's sad more people couldn't have enjoyed it. His books of poetry are available at the book store and the library.

By now the tension had mounted and the silence was so loud you could here a pin drop. The commanding voice from the other side of the table cracked the silence. "Enough is enough!" After pressing a button at the side of the table, two giant muscular figures in white uniforms with white coats appeared "Which one?" asked one burly giant in a gruff voice. "This one," came the curt reply. "Take him away!" The two then proceeded to haul their victim away The others who were standing in line stood gazing in terror, their knees shaking.

'{ Pam Lu~9' A very popular expression "oh God" may take on several other connotations upon seeing the movie "Oh, God!"starring Rocky Mountain prince John Denver and a very "down to eartti'George Burns as the Almighty Himself! The movie, an adaptation of a novel by A very Corman, directed by Carl Reiner,seems to be 0u t to jolt the public with the "real" explanation of Gods ultimate message. I ts manner of presentation is delicious! And so, world, God's imperative advice for us is that we should stop fighting and help each other out instead; how genteel! God makes the scene wearing sneakers, a windbreaker and a fishing cap; the epitome of omnipotence indeed! He directs His attention toward one Jerry Landers (Denver) the assistant manager of a supermarket. God implores Denver to accept · His challenge to "spread the word" and thus he becomes a savior,but not without a sacrifice. The inspired Denver in pursuit of his vision is deemed a lunatic. His wife and children become rather wary of their bread winner when he is ridiculed by the media, with an especially amusing roast which takes place on the Dinah Shore show. Ultimately the modern-day Moses loses his job,to which God responds,"Lose a iob, save a world -it's not a bad deal." God goes on to reassure Denver, in his anxiously insane predicament; "Trust me:• he says:'like it says on the money'.' The benevo- lent One indeed does not forsake our hero, when He appears at Denver's slander trial and upon oath retorts "So help me,Me'.' His optimism that although we don't believe in Him He has faith in us, is enlightening. "This' God advocates free will and in spite of His previous mistakes (which include tobacco, ostriches and avocados) He is convinced that we'can make things work . Hidden within Gods ordinary articulation are ' several other revelations.He makes some heavy criticisms regarding our world as He reflects upon our ruined streams and "the art of making a mackerel;' the smoggy skyways, chemically laden food stuffs and littered landscapes. He relates these disappointments along with some other surprising notes.God does not claim to be "religious'. as He heartily recommends "faith"as ones guide. He insists that performing miracles is "much too flashy';'and that His interference in our lives is meager. Otherwise stated, he discloses "Its all up to you'.' It seems one does not have to be special to be called by God.A ruthless impersonation of Billy Graham by Paul Sorvino speculates between the nature of true faith and hypocritical hogwash. Denver's plight assists in contrasting the two.

The show will consist of twelve pieces of large abstract sculpture. Some works will be as large as five feet in diameter. Parker , who graduated from Yale in 1948 with a degree in Architecture, combines this knowledge with his s~ulpture to create abstract forms which defines volume and emotion. Most of the pieces that will be on exhibit will be in fi ber glass, but the artist also works in plastic, bronze, aluminum and marble, which are all done in round relief. Besides being both an architect and a sculpture, Brooks Parker is also a painter and an inventor who holds several patents in structual systems. He a lso attended Hayter Studio Atelier 17 in New York, wher e he studied etching and engraving. "Abstract forms allow me to deal in specifics - of moods or emotions, of energies and ideas," Parker says. He then goes on tc say that, "Each experience ( of sculpture) is the development of a specific and unique personality. The piece may be proud or modest, calm or feisty, graceful or inept. But the ' abstract form ·can say any of these things - and it's only up to me to shape the voice." A reception will be held for the sculptor on Saturday, November 12 at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

The loss to Bucknell gave the girls a 7-5-1 record for the regular season with a league record of 30. Bucknell was the toughest opponent the team had to face all season and they did a good job despite losing. Wilkes played a great first half keeping on attack evenly with Bucknell. Pam Snyder scored both Colonel goals while Julie Kerrick added an assist. A second half letdown proved to be the difference as Bucknell scored 3 goals in a 15 minute period. Wilkes was outshot in the contest 37 to 15. Lee Ann Earl played a good game making 16 saves. Defensively, Monica Krammer looked good, and LuAnn Neely and Karen Worlinsky both had good outings against two talented wings from Bucknell. Three seniors, ~arb . Gorgas, Jean Johnson, and Ronna Colvin, played their last regular season game against Bucknell. This final game also ended another win season in field hockey at Wilkes. The team has finished above .500 for eight years in a row. Coach Meyers looked back at another successful season stating, "We had a good season inconsistent at times - but a super team to work with. The girls worked hard from beginning to end and much improvement was made by many people." If nothing else, the loss to Bucknell helped the team prepare for the SFHA Tournament. The Blue and Gold turned in a fine 4-1-3 record, their best ever in tournament play. Wilkes tied Bloomsburg in the opening game 0-0, beat Marywood 2-0 and Susquehanna 2-0, tied the Pick-ups 0-0, lost a tough 1-0 decision to Bucknell, defeated State College, 1-0, played to a scoreless tie with Lock Haven, and beat the Centre County Club 2-0. Barb Gorgas scored three goals in the tournament to lead Wilkes, Ronna Colvin added two while J erry Ann Smith and Mary J o Frail added oneach. Mary Jo Frail led the team in assists with four , Jerry Ann Smith had two and Barb Gorgas had one.

Bloomsburg scored the most goals in the tournament hitting the nets 14 times. The Willkes defense and goal tending was tremendous as they allowed only one goalin eight games. Ten players were called to trials: Pam Snyder, Jerry Ann Smith, Lee Ann Earl, Mary Jo Frail, Jean Johhnson, Ronna Colvin, Karen Worlinski, Julie Kerrick, Monica Krammer, and LuAnn Neely. This is the most that were ever called to trails in Wilkes history. It was, by far, Wilkes best tournament ever: best record, most called, most selected, most scoring and best defense and goal tending. Tournaments are the best way to test stamina, and the team - held up well despite being forced to play eight, 25 minute, games in two days. As Coach Meyers put it, that is a lot of Field Hockey. Coa ch Meyers was very pleased with her team, "I was never so proud of a Wilkes team. It was a tremendous weekend of field hockey and we stayed in the thick of it from beginning to end. " Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Snyder will go on to the Mideast Sectional tournament this weekend. This is the second step to the U.S. National Team. The tournament also brought some attention to the quality of field hockey played at Wilkes as was noted by Coach Meyers. " Wilkes Field Hockey is growing and we are starting to be recognized more every year. This weekend of great play will only help keep the growth growing." lave Jolley FOUL SHOTS In the free agent draft held last week, Wilting Judas, whose attack is about as potent as that of nine Mary Throneberry's, failed to attract any noteworthy players to add to their already faltering softball line-up.

Anything that moves with a different color shirt on incurs their wrath. Tony Couto and Bill Sobczak apply the crusher here. Photo by Will Walsh Mass Confusion Evident In Final Seconds Of Loss; Heartbreaker At Juniata It ended in tears. Victory was snatched right out from under them by ultimate confusion. Everyone on the field that had anything to do with the outcome of the game had to be more than slightly bewildered, including the players, coaches, officials, and fans. The Colonels failed to score with 18 seconds left in the game wnen they had the ball on the Juniata 4 yard line. That is a fact. Everything else that led to tha t moment of drama is strictly conjecture. The 5-3 loss to the Juniata Indians is significant in many ways. It prevented the Colonels from finishing with a winning record on the year ; it added a bit of drama and excitement to the season; but most _ importantly, it revealed human frailty. The ga me could be likened to a musical crescendo. What had started quietly came roaring to life in the second half and ended in frenzied motion. The first half of the ball game was boring. Each team had a couple of scoring chances but only one of the four was capitalized on. Dave Korba intercepted his sixth of the year in the second quarter at the Juniata 45 to put the Colonels in decent field position. The interception by the sophomore safety put him only one away from tying the school record of seven in a single season, held by Jay Holliday (1968 ). Mike Wilson quickly reciprocated, however, and the Indians had the ball back. Tony Couto then made a brilliant interception and return to again put the Colonels knocking on the door. Only a superb defensive play at the goal line by a J uniata defender prevented the Wilkes TD. But Dan P isarcik's FG attempt was blocked and the Colonels came up without any points. Mike Molitoris was the hero of the next set of downs when he prevented a J uniata touchdown by capturing the Indian running back after a 68-yard foot race. J uniata then had a TD pass called back because of holding and Molitor is performed more magic by coming up with a diving interception at the Wilkes 2 yard line. With or without the ball, however, Juniata was determined to score. On the next play Doin Dilelsi and Mike Long trapped Mel Johnson in the endzone for a safety and a 2-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter things started happening. On a Wilson bomb, Dave Fritzges was interferred with at the Juniata 30, giving the Colonels a big first down. After a superb catch by Cliff Jones moved it to the 10, the drive stalled and a P isarcik field goal gave the Colonels a 3-2 lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Undaunted, Juniata came roaring back to drive 66 yards and recapture the lead with a Stan Nosal 18 yard FG. The Indians had a first and goal on the Colonel 2 but a "brick wall" goal line defensive stand kept the Colonels in the ball game by not allowing the touchdown. With only 2:50 left in the game, the Colonels charged back, determined to keep their winning streak alive. Clutch catches earmarked their frantic drive deep into scoring territory. Mel J ohnson, Bob Rushworth, Dave Fritzges, Cliff Jones, and Paul Wengen all made "panic city" receptions. Included was a deflection that was grabbed by Wengen and an "almost" TD pass to Rushworth that was ruled out of bounds. The phenominal drive ended on the Juniata 6 with no time left on the clock. With 18 seconds left in the game, the Colonels used their last time out to set up a play that was designed to do two things: either score a touchdown or run the clock down further. Three receivers were flooded into the right corner of the endzone and if theywere open, Wilson was to throw to one of them for the TD. If they were covered, the ball was to go directly toward the band director in order to get it out of bounds and stop the clock. There would still be a few seconds left and Pisarcik would be brought on to kick the chip shot field goal and win the game. Ah, but the best made plans of mice and men .. . When the ball was snapped, Wilson saw that the passing lanes were blocked, but instead of throwing the ball out of bounds, he elcted to try and run it into the endzone. The game ended with Juniata standing around while Wilkes valiantly tried to get the FG attempt off. Continued on Page 7 �November 10, 1977, The Beacon, Page 7 Crowd Cheers Booters To Win The Wilkes Ctllege soccer team extended its overall record to 3--8 last Saturday, defeating Delaware Valley , 3-1 , before a crowd of 250 at Ralston Field. Coach Ch:p Eaton said, " I was very proud of our guys. They really went _out there to play." It was a great psychological lift for the Blue and Gold , as Saturday's turnout was the best so far this season. It is hard to work out all week in practice, a nd when game time comes . there is a sparse crowd. When fans begin to dwindle, athletic programs also begin to decline , regardless of the sport. That won't be the case anymore. The fans that attended the match will no doubt return for another exciting game. Senior, Lenny Vekkos was first to hit the nets, 20 minutes into the contest on a cross-pass from freshman , Charles Issacs. Issacs almost made a goal himself, midway through the second period, but Delaware Valley's goalkeeper ma naged to stop his persistant threats several times. · Senior co-captain, Tony Apostolaros scored just before the half ended on a penalty kick. The first attempt was deflected, but Apostolaros made it count on a brilliant second effort. Coach Eaton praised his halfback's defensiv e plays, as he prevented many potential sc oring· driv es . Delaware Valley ma naged to find the nets once in first period action and the first. half ended 2-1 , favor Wilkes. Most of the secon dbalf was a defens ive struggle, with neither team scoring until a third tally was scored late in the game by junior cocaptain, Mario Apuzzo. Former Bishop Hoba n graduate , Dung Chi Duong, assisted on the goal. Apuzzo currently leads the Blue and Gold boaters in scoring, with nine. Coach Eaton was especially pleased with the defensive performances of his fullbacks, Dave Boorman, andy Dutch and Mark Ritter. The awesome play of Wilkes ' fullbacks held the adversary to only eight shots on goal. Freshman goalie, Cliff Brautigan had seven saves for the Colonels. Coach Eaton was expected to lead his forces A-Cota)J to Dickinson College yesterday. Dickinson is a tnuch better team than its record indicates, They are 5-7 overall a nd 4-2 in the Southern Division <MAC) , which is strong and consists of many top teams. Wilkes will conclude its 1977 season Saturday, entertaining FDU Madison at 11 at Ralston Field. It should be a good match-up since Madison has defeated Delaware Valley 4-1 and the Colonels recently defeated Delawa re Valley, 3-1. Coach Eaton is optimistic about this week's contest and hopes for a good cheer ing section. ~6k, ?lt Bob Gaetano "l(c,-rntls~ A LITTLE DEF~-"ISE OF THEIR OWN Tony Aposwlaros and <..: Hff RrauLigan defe nd Lhe Colonel ne Lduring a recem ga me .

L-------------------------From Page 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There can be plenty of room for second guessing on the way that the Colonels ha ndled the last few seconds. Should they have gone for the field goal on third down, thereby giving them 2 chances to make the FG? Should the officials called Juniata offsides on the last play of the game'1 Should Wilkes have called the final time out when they did ? "We opted for the play that we felt was the best under the circumstances ," commented a disappointed Coach Schmidt. "The plan was a good one. I'd ca ll the same play over again. We just didn't execute it in the proper way. It's a tough way to lose a game but we have to remember tha t we are dealing with human beings and not machines."

Rookie Coach Kevin Davenport has engineered one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the college's athletic history. The Colonels had never even been close to a winning season in the history of the sport at the college but iri one short season the fortunes of the cross country program have changed significantly. A major factor in the renaissance has been " Fenomina l Freshman" Dan Thomas. George Pawlush once likened a first place finish in a cross country meet to a no-hitter in baseball, but Thomas garnered 11 firsts out of 14 meets. His matriculation to Colonel-land will hopefully open the flood gates toward the attraction of top flight running talent to Wilkes. · It has been more than just a two man show for the harriers this season, however. Dave Boris, last year's MVP, suffered a severely sprained a nkle early in the season, but showed tremendous determination and came on s trong toward the end of the campaign. • Freshman Ed Eppler running number 2 almost all season , solidifying the Colonel attack ... Dave Kerek improving his times over last season by almost 6 minutes ... Don Patrick and Vince D'Amato showing constant improvement ... Pete Kowalchick, Jeff Da vis, Roger Davis, a nd Mark Zavoy chipping in at key times ... and senior captain Dan Rittenhouse running the best race of his career in order to insure the Colonels winning season. He ran over two miles without any shoes after the mud puddle had sucked off his spikes ... The entire team has much to be proud of in their record-breaking season. 'Thomas 1 0 / h - - - - - - - - - - - Harriers Best -Ever Sho~ing In MAC's • Maybe Wilkes College cross country coach Kevin Davenport should apply for a teaching position with the school's history department. Davenport and his team have set more records and made more history this season than any other sports organization on the campus. The latest historical event was Wilkes' 11th place finish out of 17 entrants, in last Saturday's Middle Atlantic Conference championship tournament held at Memorial Lake State Park in India ntown Gap. It was the finest finish in the history of Wilkes for the tourney . (All World ) Danny Thomas did his bit for history, being the only Blue and Gold harrier to ever finish in the top ten in tbe race, completing the 10,000 meter -course in 33 :04 for tenth place. Finishing behind Thomas for Wilkes were : sor, homore Dave Boris, 37th, 34:57; senior Dan ~ittenhouse, competi.•~ in his final collegiate event, 84th, 37 :41 ; freshman Ed Eppler, 87th, 37: 46; sophomore Don Patrick, 88th, 37:48; sophomore Dave Kerek, 98th, 38 :32; and sophomore Vince D'Amato, 108th, 39:28. Franklin and Marshall copped team honors in the MA.:; tourney with a score of 41. Finishing second was last year's champion, Gettysburg, 74. Other team finishers included: ursinus , 117 ; Johns Hopkins , 121; Lebanon Valley, 145 ; Swarthmore, 148 ; Susquehanna, 200 ; Scranton, 203; Haverford, 232; Delaware Valley , 234 ; Wilkes, 198; Juniata, 356; Muhlenberg, 385 ; Widener , 394 ; ft lbright, 395 ; Drew, 428; and Washington, 455. Eric Holmboe of F&M took first place out of 119 runners in the event with a 31 :54 clocking. So, The Wilkes cross country season comes to an end ; v happv ending. Thomas finishes his first year of collegiate action with 11 fir ·.; t places in 14 meets , while the team overall, in Davenport's first yea r of coaching, sets a school record with a 8-6 slate. · Davenport said after the tourney that he was , " tire<:\ and happ• .."

Halloween Party Flops- CC To Cut Party Funding A review of the CC-IDC Halloween party was given by ' Louie DeRobertis, Commuter Council president, at the council's meeting Monday afternoon. He stated that the party held in the gym was a "flop" based on poor attendance and as a result, the catering by Konefa1's was cancelled for the party. The reason stated for the poor ticket sales was the Sturdevant Hall party which served beer that same evening. DeRobertis said "you can't get anything to be a success unless there is beer there. The beer at Sturdevant drove people away from our party." He did note, however, 'that for the people who attended the party, they seem to have a good time. The discontent the council expressed over the party's outcome was against the permission granted to Sturdevant Hall by the Housing Office to hold a party t he same night and against the idea that students need beer to make their time worth while. DeRobertiS" stated "if it is beer they want, we aren't going to give it to them." In the past CC . and the Inter-Dormitory Council have been expected to spend $500 each for the four parties they sponsor together. They are. the Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day parties. As a result of the Halloween party CC is now only willing to spend $250 on the Christmas party which is held off campus. Spending on the other two parties is also questionable. CC would like to try to sponsor other activities on campus to get · more students involved. DeRobertis questioned the function of the council as to throw parties or promote activity. Since he feels the present parties are not appreciated as indicated by the outcome of the Halloween party, he and the council are going to try to promote new activities on campus; In other council matters, the council is going to sponsor a bus to New York City on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The bus will leave Wilkes-Barre at around 7:30a.m . . The cost per person is $8.50 and reservations can be made starting Monday in the CC office during the hours betweenll a.mand p.m The newly revised council constitution was unanimously passed. The revisions made by the constitution committee updated the constitution and made certain restrictions as to wl,o can run for CC presidency. As written in the new constitution, anyone who has served on the council for one complete elected term can run for the position as opposed to any commuter runing. Under new business, the last sophomore position was filled at the meeting. Judy Bellas was appointed to the vacant position. Six freshmen were electe:l into the council two weeks ago and they are Bill Miller, John Moffatt, Bill Stunich, Karen Supkoski, Maria Smigel and Bob Visheski. Jim Edwards IDC Approves Laundry Charge A vote was taken at the IDC meeting on Sunday on what to do concerning the dorm washers and dryers. The result was a practically unanimous vote to have all dorm residents pay a fee of $5 per semester for the use of washers and dryers. This fee will be charged beginning next semester and washers and dryers will be free until then. Concerning the party, policy, a vote was taken to decide whether college I.D. cards should be required to buy tickets for dorm parties. This was passed, but it was suggested that two tickets be . available to each I.D. holder. humor, hurrian rights, California drivers, food prices, and a host of other topics. Ms . .Bai]ey, mother of two, declared that children should be taught maimers before they are sent off. to school and that teachers should not be expected to disci'pline children; that the best way to clean is on one's hands and knees; she does find the time to food shop and cook, much to the surprise of many people; young people should obtain - a diverse educational background because what is important is not what they would like to do, but what they will do; that people are looking for jobs, but they are not looking for work. She also asserted that to succeed in the theater one needs some talent, ambition, heavy discipline and dignity; the United Nations can be the most constructive body there is, provided something is done with it; in reference to humor, some things are humorous, some are subtle, and som_e · are downright dirty; and it's not a question as to whether : California drivers will change . fri;>m one. lane to the .. one on the.extreme other side, but actµally ,- question of when they will do it .. · She stressed the importance of love· and life, saying, "There is only one way to live and that is to live.'·' Explaining how she finds the time to do so many things, shesaid, "Do something with your time by doing something with the time you have." She ended the "stimulation excercise by saying, "There is no gain without pain. I know I'm growing-I hurt." She received a standing ovation before and after her presentation, and is, by the way, 59 years old. (A public reception and dinner with the Concert and Lecture Series Committee were cancelled by Ms. Bailey.) Wilm(,. HUJ'8t Another suggestion concerning the party policy was passed, that· tickets for dorm parties be sold at the time of the party, but in another location. To avoid any problems with parties, a stronglysupported suggestion was also made to require the IDC representative of the .dorm giving a party to be responsible and give a report of the party to IDC. It was · announced that the game room will be mov-ed from the basement of New Men's Dorm. to the S.U.B. as soon as the new location · is · properly wired for pinball machines. The Halloween Party was considered a success by all, though Commuter Council reported a slight loss from the party. IDC president Tom Bazzini pointed out that spending some money on a social event is to be expected and should not be considered a loss. Students are reminded to fill out R.A. evaluation forms as soon as possible. Also, teacher evaluation forms will be in the mail to students within the next few weeks, after the deadline is up for dropping classes. This is to prevent any malicious bias on the forms. Joe V.

Enthusiasm exploded even before the curtain rose, making it neces~ary for the performers to sustam and mount the level of excitement. They easily succeeded in doing so from the first, with Johnny Forte, whose jokes were happily wrapped in his outstanding personality. No act of the Gong Show was poor. Even when gonged, the performers were applauded for their efforts; or, perhaps, the judges were being applauded,.for theirs.

Vol. I. No. VIII PLANNING YOUR CAREER College is a preparation for later life. Part of your happiness in t he . years to come will depend on a chosen profession or vocation tha t interests you. One ot the greatest problems among incoming freshmen is tha t _. they know little about the world of work 1 career opportunities, and · what it takes to accomplish a specific career objective. The early college years are an especially important time to explore and probe various career opportunities even though you may have your sights set on a particular career. The media is abundant with literature about challenges facing college graduates in the job market. Certain professions and vocations are overcrowded and cannot absorb you. Despite th e gloomy current unemployment job prospects in certain academic disciplines, we can look ahead to the career literature on future trends for employing college graduates. · For example, we konow the greatest emphasis on employment is in the field of service jobs due to population shifts to urban areas and the increase in spendable income for most Americans; therefore, the urban populations need services in health care, banking, communications, recreation and management. Here are a few tips on how to plan your career: Locate the Career Planning Office on campus and consider goin g through the following process with a career counselor. zthis process is only a guideline for you.

Lynn Sare "l' Senior · Fantastic·Animation:Festival • \ 0 THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF ANIMATED FILMS IN THE WORLD! • • "A Piece Of The Action" is the story about two con artists who get " conned" into a very ''unexpected" situation. Signey Poitier, the movie's director, and madcap maniac Bill Cos!Jy star in this rather far-fetched flick. This being Poitier's third consecutive hit with Coz, the usual standing ovation-type round of applause is expected as Poitier comes on brilliantly both as performer and moralist, while Coz concentrates on the comedy. In the wake of events such as crooks robbing crooks, 12-story .1eaps by slippery safe crackers, and numerous bank hoists, the du9 somehow gets blackmailed into managing a horde of guerillas who turn out to be a bunch of jive-talking, hand-slapping k.i ~ at a com• munity improvement program. This rowdy crew is successfully turned into a group of acceptable job-seeking citizens under Poitier's "incentive" process. The results are astounding and quite unforgettable. The mystery man responsible for the scheme turns out to be excop James Earl Jones, an avid community service benefactor. However, Poitier and Coz each possess viewpoints quite removed from any kind of charitable idea and the retired law man indeed gets more than he bargained for 'fhen his "employees" are pursued by another bunch of thugs: u • • ' Meanwhile, a very chic Denise Nicholas, director, of the community service program , be¢qmes C~z•s. center.9f attrjiction. His affectionate, attempts are at fir.s t inspired.by the gu~s endeavors to get the low down on Jones, but are charmingly .transformed into a real relationship. The interaction between these two provide the film's fun: niest and -most tender moments. '_., •• Consequently, the ex-detective is" by rio means a Telly Savalas, perhaps because his position ' as an ·" ex"· does not dictate that he should be. Poitier-and Coz are ultimately left to iron things out alone, '\yith som'e meagre assi§tance,'from Jones: The action peaks with the climactic kidnapping of Poitier's girl by the opposing crime ring, and 'what follows is unusual indeed. Poitier succee$ in pulling one over·on tpe thugs' integrity and walks away with' the bacon. But what kind of conclusion is this? Our Starsky and Hutch-Kojak-type· consciences 1might utter. The most violence contained in this film is in the form of a 'fist fight; not one person is .seriously injure:! or-destroyed and thus "A Piece Of The Action" is not your usual " blood ·and guts" crime crap. Perhaps Poitier believes ,this type a little " too" usual also, so this moralist could not depart his frame of values even so much as to harm one hair of a single cast mem,b er's head ! A little crazy, a bit cynical and definitely sentimental; experience a unique, captivating combination of moral orderliness spread heavily over a prevailing anarchy ; get in on " A Piece Of The Action."

Who is this madma n? This daring "Prince of Battle" who continually s purs the Wilkes gridiron fortunes on and on to greater heights of excellence? Obviously a literary genius. He invades the Ra lston Field locker room on Thursday afternoon and leaves behind evidences of his support. In a single fly-leaf, he creates poetry designed to incite the Colonel forces antl to help build them to an emotional peak for their upcoming weekly game. It' s working ! The Colonels have turned their season around after a disasterous start and many people th ink that the " Prince of Battle" is one of the prime reasons. With thunder bolts, "We' re number one!" slogans, and other various a nd s undr y morale boosters, he relentlessly cheers the team on. Even when the outlook was bleak early in the season, he never let the team get down on themselves. Now that the Colonels of Rollie Schmidt are winning, his literary prowess is coming to a head and being noticed. Only one question r emains unanswered. He is definitely on our side and is a Wilkes rooter, but who is he? No one seems to know. There have been many ideas as to his identity but none have been proved either true or false. The list of candidates includes Rollie Schmidt's mother, Art Hoover, the cheerleading squad , "Judas ," Alex Pawlenok's dog, George Pawlush's wife's brother's 2nd cousin through marriage, or the ever possible consideration of President Capin. There are also others too ridiculous to mention. Whoever this person is, keep the streak going with your magic. A TOUGH BREAK - Carmen Lopresto, . 46·, collarbone.

The Wilkesmen needed a pair of desperation last period touchdowns to.rally the troops and bury the Crusader s in front of a large Parents ' Day crowd in Selinsgrove. The Colonels must have a penchant for drama and a des ire to give everyone in the stands ulcers with last minute heroics, for they had three excellent scori,ng chanc'es in the first half and could have been ahead at the halftime mark by as much as 21-0. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Wilkes offense established the fact that they could move the ball against the Susquehanna defense. The only problem was that they couldn't get it into the promised land. Under the direction of Mike Wilson·, they took the opening kick and marched all the way to the SU 18 where the drive stalled. Danny Pisarcik's field goal attempt was wide and the ball was turned over without a score. The Crusaders also showed that they could move the ball as they took possession and marched the length of the field to the Wj lkes 1~ where they elected to gamble on a·fourth down and 1. The-G9lonel Big " D" slammed the door and the tempo of the game was establis hed . The Wilkes offense was crippled on tpe next series of -plays when human bowling ball Carmen ~opresto suffered a broken collarbone. Wilkes had two more golden opportunities to score but they continued to window shop in TD land . Bill Molnar dropped a fourth down pass that had touchdown written all over it. Molnar , symbolic of the Colonel efforts on the day, came back to shrug off the frustration and made 2 fine receptions later in the garrie. · Tony Couto's interception gave the offense good field position at midfield .and a big W;ilso.n to Paul Wengen completion took it all the way down to the two .. On the next play, Wilson fumbled the snap and the Crusaders recovered .for .the touchback. The first score came late in the · third quarter when SU quarterback Pete -Annarumma found Dave .Santacroce for a three yard TD pass and a 7-0 lead. The third and fourth quarters were marred by a series of turnovers that was best exemplified by the Wilkes Band's rendition of "The Gong Show. " A- total of 13 turnovers occurred throughout th!;! course of the game. How appropriate that the Colonel defense of Coach Ed Lukas be the catalyst for the fourth period comeback. They were instrumental in both Wilkes scores. The action started when the SU center endeared himself to the hearts of Colonel fans everywhere when his punt snap sailed over the punter's head and into the endzone. An eager Bill Sobczak pounced on it for the TD . The Colonels elected to go for the two point conversion but it failed and the Colonels were still trailing, 7-£. Refusing to be demoralized, the proud Wilkesmen fought back. Couto again supplied the big play when he picked off his second interception of the game at the SU 40. He was voted the WBRE MVP and was also honored on the ECAC weekly All-Star team. The big play in the winning TD drive was a 25 yard completion to glue-handed tight end Paul Wengen that set them up at the 8. Two plays later, Mel Johnson tip-toed his way into the endzone. The two point conversion was successful as Wilson threw a perfect strike to Bob Rushworth. The Colonels are seeking to continue their excellent second half performance when they challenge Juniata College on Saturday in Huntington. The Indians are suffering through a frustrating season as their 3-5 record indicates. The leading passer, Wayne Emerick, is out for the year with a separated shoulder and his replacement, Bill Reilly, is a converted cornerback. The Indians were expected to challenge for the MAC title but they are now just fighting to break even.

Four league titles and 14 league games later, Coach Meyers' team is still living up to that winning tradition. After a non-league setback to Keystone Junior College in what can be best described as an upset, t he Colonels came blazing back in their league competition, besting Marywood, 4-1, and Misericordia, 6-2. This week' s action brought the team's record up to 7-4-1. Perhaps t he girls were looking forward to their league games with Marywood and Misericordia, because they were very sluggish against Keystone. The team had 27 shots on goal, but a shot by Jerry Ann Smith was t he only one that found the nets. Mary Jo Frail got the assist, and goalie Lee Ann Earl made seven saves for Wilkes. Coach Meyers noted that the defense got caught up too far allowing Keystone to score both of their goals. She felt that t he team was due to be upset, saying, "I knew it would happen. We were not up for this game and they were. Keystone has been trying .to beat us for years and this was their year." The loss may have been good for the team's attitude as the desire was clearly there for the teams's contest with Marywood. Wilkes totally d.9minated the game, outs hooting Marywood, 51 to 16 and holding the edge in penalty corners, 15 to 4. · · ·. Pam Snyder scored two goals while Marie Elko and Mary Jo Frai l added one each. Ronna. Colvin, Jerry Ann Smith, and Julie Kerrick added the assists. T he game was played in a pouring rain but, since the contest was rained out once already, both teams consented to play no matter what the conditions were. Marywood came into the game undefeated in league play, and a win over Wilkes would give them their first league title. The Colonels impressive play, however, informed them that they would have to beat the best to win the championship. The dismal performance against Keystone worried Coach Meyers, but the team put her fears to rest early in the contest. "After the way we played Tuesday, I was really worried if our people would be up for this league encounter, " she stated. "Marywood was really up and we are their big· game! But I am proud of the way we rallied under terrible field conditions and the team played its hearts out for a very important win." Marie Elko proved to be the big gun in the championship game, hitting the nets for two big scores. Pam Snyder, Jerry Ann Smith, Barb Gorgas, and Julie Kerrick a lso scored in the 6-2 win over Misery . J erry Ann Smith, Mary .To Frail, and Ronna Colvin had two assists apiece.Wilkes outshot Misericordia, 38 to 8 and really made their opponents miserable by not allowing a single shot in the second half. Jean Johnson a nd Monica Krammer headed the fine 'defensive effort. During the second period, Wilkes kept on attack and would not let up on their opponents. Mary Jo Frail leads the team in assists with 10 and Marie Elko has the most goals, seven. . Coach Meyers, used to winning the NPWIAA championship by now but far from being tired of it, was very happy with the victory. "I was proud of the way we rallied after the Keystone game. We wanted everyo ne to know we are the best team in the league and we totally outplayed them." When people think of sports dynasties a Wilkes College, they always t hink of the great Golden Horde football champions of t he 60's. Forced to make another choice, they would und oub ted ly pick the fine wrestling squads fhat yearly make everyone associated with Wilkes proud . But how about the fine job the field hock ey team does year after year after year'! After all, no league opponent has ever been able to defeat them. That is q ui te an accomplishment, a nd Coach Gay Meyers and the players deserve much credit.

" I feel the main reason we have been so successful t his . year is because we have a voided major injuries, and going into Saturday's tourney, we are 100 per cent healthy," commented t he freshman mentor. Davenport feels Thomas should be one of the main contenders in t he tourney for individual honors. Eddie White Soccer Team Loses 8th The Wilkes College soccer tea m fell to defeat for the eighth time this season last Saturday afternoon, when t he Colonels lost a 3-2 decision to Susquehanna University in a Middle Atlant ic Conference matc h in Selinsgrove, Penna. Senior co-captain Tony Apostolaros scored the first tally for Wilkes and fres hman Dung Chi Duong added the second, on a pass from Apostolaros . Offensively, Susquehanna outshot Wilkes, 34 to 14 shots at the goal. Coach Chip E aton noted, " W arr en Bus h really played tough defense in t he firs t half, but t he Susquehanna guys went the other way in t he second period, to evade him." Eato n cha nged hi s lineu p due to a n injury to one of hfs fullbacks, Nicky Golowich. In Friday's practice, Golowich sus- tained a foot injury and reportedly has t orn ligaments. The Colonel lineup shifted co-captain Tony Apost olaros to center-halfback position and inserted Dave Borrm a nn, a junior from Metuchen, N.J ., to right fullback. Eaton was pleased wit h the reserves performance. · Susquehanna had a much . larger squad than Wilkes. Their reserve system had more than 20 hooters on t he bench and allowed t hem to substitute freely , with confidence. The Wilkes soccer team will be hoping for a lot of support this week1md, when they host Delaware Valley. The Blue and Gold,- currently 2-8, will be seeking revenge agains t Del Val, at 2 p.m., at Ralston Field, as they lost by a slight 2-1 margin to Del Val last year.

Wilkes has decided this year to go along with these changing times by creating a new logo that will try to reflect a new distinctive school image and atmosphere. U..,,.,,J,..,_ The- purpose of the logo is to develope a unique theme abo1;1t the College. This . uniqueness is basoo on the fact that Wilkes College is a place that blends two great traditions; the richness of past and the progressive look to the future. Doug Rubinstein, director of public relations, ex_plained that, "The logo is not really a change, it is just an addition to the College seal." He then went on to state two reasons for the change, tne first being to produce an external communication with the public, and to develop _a regional and national image for the College. The second reason was that the College felt that it needed a seal that could be used for all types of formal and official occasions, such as graduation and for the use by the president. The design was done in a con- u ... temporary approach. The lettering is a Broadway style lettering which was developed in the 1930's. This is to reflect the decade in which the nostalgia trend and Wilkes has decided to follow that trend. The drawing is a stylized rendering of Chase Hall, which~ is probably the most well known building on campus. The creator of this design was a freelance artist named Denise Faleski who's located in Pittston; She attended Wilkes and received national re<;ognition from a publication that she illustrated from Penn State. People today are constantly exposed to television, which has turned this society into a visual group. What you see will make the biggest impression on you. The College is working from this angle to develope a good impression for the school.

Yes, there is life after college, but commencement day is a little too late to start thinking about it. According to the Career Planning and Placement staff, career planning should begin as early as the freshman year, and should be followed by some serious t hinking about and pla nning for employment. Ma ny times studen ts begin college without having a clear understanding of t he field t hey are entering, or t he career options avai lable. H ere's wher e t he Careers Library (located behind t he Placement Center at 34 S. River St., near Parrish Hall) can help. Wealth of Information A 17-page (and still growing) bibliography directs students to a wealth of career information in virtually any field. Offerings range from suggested directions in career planning to 'projected employment outlooks to company literature, all contained in handbooks, pamphlets and microform. In addition, the career librarian Barbara Fitzgerald-McClain, is an experienced reference librarian and can assist students in finding the proper information, and the library will soon begin to produce career material of its own, to make it as relevant as possible. A series of tests, conducted by Joseph Kanner, is also offered to students in order to help them evaluate their career interests and abilities. , Once a student has some direction, he can begin to look and prepare for employment or additional academic opportunities. John J. Chwalek, director of the center, and Stan Zukos are available for counseling, advising and assisting students prepare for the task of seeking employment. Questions on writing resumes and cover letters, grad schools, interviews and a host of other topics can be answered. Zukos, who has a B.S. in biology and is presently in the M.B.A. program, here at Wilkes, said that he feels his background enables him to talk to students in any major. Mrs. FitzgeraldMcClain who holds a Bachelor' s degree in history and an English minor, and Joseph Schwab, a psy' chology major, together with Chwalek round out the staff of diversified staff members. "Dress Rehearsal" Another service offered is the '' mock interview," a sort of dress rehearsal designed to assist any. one who plans to take any kind of interview.

As t he range of things which are regarded as public issues grows even larger,and the ways in which they are handled grows ever more complex, women need know how they can be heard.how they can affect policy, whether they can " beat City Hall." Dr. Driscoll will give an overview of the ways in which individuals can influence policy and discuss how to select a strategy for action.pointing out how a choice between what and who affects how. come nervousness and correct any undesirable impressions or mannerisms. 1 Interviews are conducted by either Chwalek or Zukos and are video-taped and played back to t he student, giving him t he rare opportunity to watch and hear hi mself speak and react to questions. Staff members point out fa ul ts and strong points and offer suggestions to help enhance the impression the student conveys du ring an in terview. T he mock interviews may be general, or may be designed to simulate an actual interview conducted by a specific company, where certain particular questions may be asked. Zukos noted t hat a number • of accounting majors were recently interviewed by various firms, and those who participated in the mock interviews found that it helped them during the "real thing." · Students who anticipate undergoing interviews for summer jobs grad schools, or other purpose are also urged to take advantage of the mock interview. Outreach Campaign Although the center has been fairly busy since the school year began, with abou t 325 students visiting the facilities, an extensive outreach campaign is being planned to bring even more students in. Chwalek will speak at several class meetings and Mrs. Fitzgerald-McClain will set up a day-long information center in the Commons and the cafeteria in the near future. All the staffers indicated a willingness and eagerness to help students in any way they can, but as one said, "students must take the first step." The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a. m. to 4: 30 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday. Wilma Hurst ' Film Series Course Will Be Offered In Spring Semester The second Film Studies course to be given .at Wilkes will be among offerings for the coming Spring semester. The course, to be taught by Dr. Michael Seitz, will be listed as " Th.Arts : topics: American Film Genres." It is open to all students as a free elective and has no prerequisite. The genres to be treated are among those most typically American: Gangster films, "Films noir,"Westerns,Musica ls, and Horror films. The course will involve screening of 14 feature films, related readings, and classroom discussions. All films will be con sidered in regard t o the conventions of the various genres, visual style.thematic content.and social and -or psychological significance. "I hope this doesn't sound overly heavy,"Dr. Seitz commented. "The films we' ll be studying are all major st udio productions of the 30' s, 40 ' s and early 50' s. They have been enjoyed and cherished by millions of American moviegoers,but,until recently, they've been regarded as mere popular entertainment.

Shown on the steps of Kirby Hall are: Oonna Korba: Ann Sharkey; JoAnn Mican: Marcia Stratton; Karl Germick; Dr. Bradford L. Kinney; Joe Degenhart; Steve Jurewicz and Davida Roberts. Missing members of the Detiate Union are David Evans and Laura Alunni. Debate Union's Fame Growing Nationwide' The Wilkes College Debate Union,alias "Kinney's Kids:• is quickly gaining fame not only in the Wilkes College and WilkesBarre area communities, but also in the college and university communitites to which the members travel to for competition. Originally the team was known as the Wilkes College Debating Society when it first formed in 1948, and soon after became nationally known as "little Wil'kes, the giant killers" because of their sensational victories over bigger and more powerful debating schools. They achieved an outstanding record of winning 387 out of500debates (or 70 percent) and participated in four national championship titles. However, the Debate Society remained virtually passive in intercollegiate competition from 1963 until 1973. Then, in 1973, Dr. Bradford Kinney was selected to coach the society. Dr. Kinney' s first attempt to reestablish the fame of the debate program was t o rename the group .the Wilkes College Debate Union (the members, however, renamed themselves "Kinney' s Kids" and selected as their symbol a horse's tail end, much to the surprise and confusion of Dr. Kinney). The selection of Dr. Kinney proved to be a good one; during the four years the group has been under his coaching the team has traveled more than 33,280 miles to win 90 awards and trophies. Last year the Debate Union set a record by winning 30 trophies, and according to Dr. Kinney, · "this year we' re out to break that record.'' Recently, the group traveled to Shippensburg to compete with 40 other colleges and universities in the Raider Tournament,and to Clarion to compete with 34 schools. At Shippensburg, Donna Korba won first place for her persuasion speech and was also recognized for her superior informative speech; Jo Ann Mican received a certificate honoring her as being among the top ten informative speakers; Stephen Jurewicz also received a certificate for his persuasive speech; Joe Degenhart placed fourth in informative speaking and received a certificate for his impromptu speech; Ann Sharkey received a seventh place trophy for oral interpretation and the group was awarded a second place overall team trophy. At Clarion, Marcia Stratton placed first in informative speaking; Donna Korba received a fourth place trophy for _persuasion and a certificate recognizing her outstanding persuasive speaking and the group received another team trophy honoring them as one of the top ten schools at the tournament. The team is also a member of Pi Kappa Delta National Honorary Forensic Society, in which they are noted as one of the largest active memberships in the state. Dr. Kinney attributes the success of the Debate Union to their " hard work'and their perceptive ability to "work as a unit'. He stated that "Kinney!; Kids' are close-knit -- when one wins 'they all win'. Dr. Kinney likes the phrase Ms. K. Pietscher, debate tournament director at Ohio University, used to summerize the achievements of the Wilkes College Debate Union. She said they have "no great wins and no great losses:• meaning that Wilkes is one of the most consistent debate teams she knows.

The members may compete in debate and - or forensics.the latter which is divided into the following categories: after-dinner speaking; original persuasive speaking; informative speaking; salesmanship; oral interpretation of literature (prose and poetry); extemporary speaking (in which the person draws a topic and is allowed 30 minutes to prepare to speak on that topic); impromptu speaking (in which the person draws a topic and is allowed only 7 minutes preparation); dramatic duos (in which two people act out a scene from a play); rhetorical criticism (in . which a person chooses a speech and analyzes it as to why it succeeded or failed and comments on the t ools the speaker used); original story-telling and broadcasting. . Members also have the option of competing in the pentathelon. In order to qualify for the pentathelon,one must enter and do well in five different events. Dr. Kinney stated that the most rewarding aspect of the teams accomplishments lies not in the "hardware they bring home;but in the fact tqat "most debaters have virtually no experience when they join the group, as compared to those they compete against with high school and college experience'. He also added that learningand educational experience are their first achievements; th.e trophies and awards are only secondary. The feeling among the group members is that of a <_;lose family, however, this "family' is open to anyone (not strictly English majors) who is willing .to work devote 20 percent of his effort to the teams goal; Dr. Kinney guarantees he' 11 meet anyone 80 percent of the way. The Debate Union is now looking forward to future competitions which will take them to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia; University of Maryland; Penn State; University of Delaware and many others. Dr.Kinney proudly stated that "this is the first yearwe' ve been invited to more schools than we can afford to go to!'

To The Editor: Congratulations! Your October 20, issue was quite an accomplishment. Jeff Acornley wrote an article about thll "Kernels" without regressing to his childhood. All freshmen have denounced alcohol. The Treemaniac has confessed. Everything I've always wanted to know about, " Brooksie," has· been answered. (By the way, the Feature Page still tastes like ink.) And, above· all, now I can sleep better, knowing the Dorm roof will be r& r.aired. Who ever said Wilkes was, 'burnt out?" Keep up the good work. SueDonini - - Brlllfl .,,,,,,,, To ,r11111t, ·1n Arl/1/, To The Editor: I am registering a complaint concerning last week's issue of The Beacon. The .clause reads as follows : " Rosie Noone is the former Corresponding Secretary of the History .Club." This passage is clearly false. How this piece of crap found its way into the paragraph is beyond me. Whoever' wrote it must contact me and talk it out. Rosie and I are pretty indignant about this one clause. , Thanks, Shep Willner Editor's note: Rosie Noone is the current coJTesponding secretary of the History Club. Our apologies to both her and Shep. Prior to the hourly exam Sleep well so t hat you are refreshed t he day of t he exam. "All nighters" usually don' t produce t he desired results. Stay calm--avoid anxiety. Have all the supplies you need prior to leavin~ your home-room. Arrive at the examination room 15 minutes in advance. Note t he seating area where the lighting is best. Avoid sitting near noise or friends t hat may distract you. Leave crib sheets at home!!!!!!! During the exam Most importantly--Listen TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. REREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS. Determine the amount of time for the test and determine how much time you need for each qu~tion. Example: 100 multiple choice equal approximately two responses per minute. Five essays equal approximately 12 minutes per essay. Answer the essay questions first. · Write legibly so the instructor can read your responses, otherwise your mark may suffer. Objective questions demonstrate your ability to recognize key details. One must give attention to key words like none, all, never, should, might. · Essay questions· test your ability to express yourself on the subject; therefore, be careful and watch for the following cues which will set the thenie for y!)µr essay. They are: describe, discuss, define, elaborate, evaluate, illustrate, prove, review, summarize,- compare, ,contrast; critic4e, analyze, outline. _· · · Reread your essay carefully: ·One may. have left out a key word or _remember other points. · · · • After the exam . After the instructor returns your exam paper, read over the answers, nQte the correct and .incorrect answers. Find the correct answer to those that are incorrect. ·This process of relearning is helpful since the same questio!l may appear on .the final exam. If one has questions relative to the instructor's marking system or if there is a response discrepancy, it is to your advantage to see instructor duriµg his office hours. Instructors are human and do make mistakes. Evaluation via testing is an essential aspect of education. Test taking requires practice and concentration and most of all, self-evaluation. In sum, a positive attitude and systematic approach as well as your commitment to self-evaluation will make test taking easier and rewarding.

Currently in its fifth · year of exis tence, t he Committee is comprised of approximately 125 members, with attendance at meetings usually reaching up to 90 people. . The Committee's charter states as its purpose " to promote a spirit of cooperation and communication between all segments of Wilkes College and t he surrounding community." The chairperson of this year's Committee is Kathy Rickard, a sophomore biology major from Hazleton. Kathy, who is the first female ever to head the Commi t tee,lis t ed some of the numerous activities that the organization is involved in. · "The most recent was last week's Blood Donor Day, which was very successful in reaching a total of 273 pints. I thank everybody who participated," stated t he Catlin Hall reffident. Tomorrow will be the drawing date for a fifty dollar certificate. The proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the American Heart A.ssociation for their work and research in heart disease. Tickets may still be purchased from any Committee member. Another event which is slated for October is a Halloween party which the Committee is sponsoring in cooperation with "The Bridge," a youth service organization that provides assistance to underpriviledged young people. A total of 45 young people will enjoy the party complete with prizes,games and of course,costumes. Preparation and planning for an event such as the Halloween party or raffle usually begin two months in advance.

The Colonel hooters won their second game of the season, 1-0 over Albright College, last Thursday and junior co-captain Apuzzo was the only one to find the nets. Luck turned the other way however,as the hooters dropped their second contest of the week to nationally ranked Elizabethtown College, 4-0, at Ralston Field. The victory over Albright was not only Apuzzos doing, but the whole team effort. After Apuzzo scored, he collided with the Lions' goalie and was forced to leave the contest with less than ten minutes gone in the first period. Senior co-captain Tony Apostola:ros kept things under control, playing tight defense, preventing the Reading team from scoring. Tony was also credited with the assist on Apuzzos goal. Frosh goalie Cliff Brautigan played an awesome game, making 21 saves, many of them in second half action. On Saturday, the Wilkesmen were outclassed b,¥ Elizabethtown, who are rankoo third in the nation. The BLuejays won the 4-0 decision to keep their slate unblemished in the MAC. The Blue and 'Gold held their own against E-Town, since the Bluejays are picked to win the conference title. The Colonels took 29 shots on goal, while E-Town - only took 26, with four going in. Tony Apostolaros and Nick Golowich played good defensively for Wilkes. The offense just couldn't come through with any tallies, ·although they threatened several times. Nicholas Pitsis, right center-halfback, returned to the Blue and Gold lineup Saturday, after sitting out two weeks due to a broken foot. Coach Eaton's forces will travel to Susquehanna Saturday and and won't see action again until the following Saturday, hosting Delaware VAiley. Last year Wilkes was defeated by Sus- Marywood Match quehanna, 4-1, at Ralston Field. Coach Eaton believes his hooters are finally putting- it together and looks for a strong finish in their last four games. Leading scorers for the Blue and Gold are: Mario Apuzzo, 8; Tony Apostolaros, 2; Len Vekkos, l ; Dung Chi Duong, 1; Joe Piccone, 1; and Nicky Golowich, 1. Bob Gaetano .:.. Net women Seek Crown The Wilkes womens tennis team had a chance to nail down their third consecu tive· NPWIAA championship yesterday when they challenged Marywood. Both squads sport undefeated 6-0 records in league play and the match yesterday determined the champion. Coach Sandy Bloomberg offered her opinion on why the team has been so successful t his season. "All of the girls on the team are dedicated and have the desire to be a winner. They' re willing to give that little bit extra that it takes to build a winning team. Their willingness to give time during practice has made my job easier as well as the teams." The girls have rebounded from the loss of several key players from last years squad and have played extremely well. This is the last match of the college careers of'co-captains Jo Ann Pugliese and Sally Steele as well as Jan Wolf and Diane Polacheck. The tea~s only losses this season were to the likes of powerhouses Bloomsburg State, Lock Haven, and Seton Hall. The women would like to continue to add tough competition to their schedule.in an effort to build an increasingly stronger program here at Wilkes. The team has shown a lot of character t his ·season. Bloomberg stated, "Many people do not realize that the girls earned money through bake sales, car washes, and things of the sort so that they can have money to play some indoor tennis during the upcoming winter,. months." These are the intangible things that build a winning program.

HOCKEY CO-CAPTAINS- Barb Gorgas and Jean Johnson provide the leadership for the Wilkes field hockey team. The women under the coaching of Gay Meyers, have been consistant winners and are shooting for their fourth straight NPWIAA title this w~ when the take on Marywood on Wednesday and Miseiicordia on Friday. Hqckey Squad Faces Tough, Crucial Week The Wilkes College women's field hockey team has won it's last three games in a row to make its season record 5-3-1. The last three victories were: 2-0 over Lycoming; 3-0 over Susguehanna; and 3-1 over Drew University. The scores speak for themselves. The way the girls have been playing, the . opponents are having a hard time even scoring against Wilkes. Monica Krammer and Ronna Colvin scored the goals in the Lycoming game as Wilkes outshot tfieir opponent, 33-10, in a. contest where much of the action took place in the center of . the field, Lee Ann Earl had to make only six saves to earn the shutout. Mary Jo Frail also had a good game, getting both assists. Mary Jo's passing as well as that of Barb Gorgas, kept Wilkes 'on attack most of the time. On defense, it was Jean Johnson once again being the key. Her good positions enabled her to have many interceptions which took Lycoming attacks apart. Jean is a very steady player in the Wilkes defense The field conditions at Lycoming left much to be desired. It is_ muddy ~th thick grass on the si?es, and has soccer goals directly behmd the hockey goals. Wilkes players, a little distracted by this, shot several times wide into the soccer goals. Coach Meyers commented on the game," We outplayed Lycoming but we should have scored more. Out girls got frustrated with all the fouls and pushing, and we just didn't play our type of hockey." Rain became the enemy of the Colonels, wiping out scheduled contests _with Ma~wood and Misericordia, so it was ten days before Wilkes got mto a game situation again. This was the 3-0 win over Susquehanna as the team reacted well to the long lay-off. They had problems in their timing in the first half, playing to a 0-0 tie, but they got t hings together in the second half to come away with t heir second straight win as well as second straight shutout. Bar~ Gorgas found the nets twice while Jerry Ann Smith added the third goal. Ronna Colvin, Mary Jo Frail, and Marie Elko chipped in the assists. Wilkes outshot Susquehanna 25-7 and also led in penalty corners, nine to four. ' Coach Meyers was worried about the layoff, but ended u~ being very pleased by the outcome. "I was very concerned going mto the ga?'le," she stated. "Susquehanna always plays us to.ugh, and by bemg off for so long, I knew that our conditioning ,would not be what it should be at this point in the season. By the second half, though, we seemed to have it all together." The coach was very pleased with the offensive unit who really did a great job providing'. the team with its best passing and cutting of the entire season. Saturday was "Field Hockey_ Parents' Day" and the girls responded to the large crowd by beating Drew, 3-1. Field conditions were poor once again as the ground has not yet recovered from all the rain. Conditions were very slippery. In t~e first half, Wilkes was constantly on the attack, but was stiffled on several scoring drives by official's calls. Barb Go~gas, ~onna . Colvin, and Jerry Ann Smith scored goals, while Juhe Kerrick a nd Pam Snyder added the assists. Wilkes continued to play good offense, outshooting Drew,. 35 to 6. Barb Gorgas has been on a scoring spree, getting three goals in two days. ~n the second half, Wilkes had to attack at the muddy- goal, and this stopped the team from scoring even more goals. Drew's lone goal, and the only score tallied against the girls in the last three games, was scored on a fast break, when Wilkes was caught with too many players on attack. In JV action, Wilkes lost 1-0 to Susquehanna and · suffered severa_l iniuries in the loss_. Julie Ken-!ck had several good rushes offe?sively but the shots _Just ':'l'ouldn t go in. Megan Ward and Gen McAfee must be-credited with some key saves on defense. Both the girls are first year players for Wilkes and both are coming along very well. Marie Elk? ~a~ hit in the templt: with the ball and had to go for x-rays. This mJury hurt the varsity as Marie was forced to miss Saturday's game with Drew as a result of it. Julie Kerrick got sla~med on the hand and Mary Jo Frail was kicked by the opposing goalie. The team has three games scheduled for this busy week: Tuesday at 4 p.m. against Keystone Junior College; Wednesday at 4 p.m. in a league make-up contest with Marywood; and Friday at 3:30 in another league make-up game with Misericordia. lllve Jolley Ed.

A-Cota)) Biggest Grid Upset In The East; ~~ c~~~~~,,~nni~~~l~~~n~gru~!bb~~~~!wu!~!· *t U_ ,¥1,. .,.. l,f~ l(c;mcl8"" by jeff acornley A Letter From 'The Prince' Dear Jeff: At one time or another I am sure all of us have experienced one of those kinds of events which can only be described by, ~"You just had to be there." One of those kinds of events occur::red this past Saturday for an enthusiastic band of loyal Wilkes fans who travelled to Reading, Pa. to watch the Colonels beat Albright. . Despite "40" days anq nights of rain which would have sidelined even Noah with a cold, our dedicated group of Wilkes fanatics arrived in A-1 "fanning" condition, ready to scream themselves hoarse again. Led by 26-year veteran rooter Art Hoover, _16-year stalwart stockholders Rollie "Dad" Schmidt, Sr. ; Sarah "Mom" Schmidt; and Marge "Sweetheart" Schrrwdt, the Wilkes rooting section was ready with the "big guns." In fact, the gold-capped 10-year veteran Parents Club was there in force, along with Alex and Elsie Pawlenok and their 11 inch, 8 pound Pekingese named "Killer." ( '.'Killer" wears a blue and gold ribbon and barks profanely at the refs. ) Add Leftenant Veremeychik's Blue Bugle and Down Home Damnation Band, The "Hey Beautiful Girls" Cheerleaders, The Can Can Kickin' Strutters, the Golden Whirly Bird Girl Twirlers a nd one has all the insanity one needs in a rooting section to play a team like Albright. Given the facts one might feel Wilkes didn't have a chance. After all, Wilkes was l 'and 4; Albright was 5 and 1. It was Albright's homecoming and it was Wilkes ' toughest opponent. .Who could argue the facts? Yet, fan-inspiration not withstanding, the Colonels defied all the prognosticators and played one of the finest football games I have ever seen. Every Wilkes College fan was treated to one hulluva performance. Unquestionably, Wilkes is an underrated team I The record bqoks never show injuries, heartaches, or youth. Wilkes had to be the best 1 and 3 small college team around, and you can be damn sure all the Wilkes rooters knew it. Everyone of us at Wilkes .should .be really proud of both the quality of Wilkes football and the character with which the team performed. Albright was simply outplayed. In any event, those who attended that game really were " electric ." Even Albright's homecoming crowd was impressed. Whether it was Coach Schmidt's hair-raising fourth quarter Roman oration, or Art Hoover's charisma; whether it was "Killer's" harassment of the . refs or the Band's flirtations with the Albright cheerleaders, I can't be sure. All I know is at the end of the game an uncontrollably elated Art Hoover raced onto the field followed by the entire Wilkes rooting section and embraced Rollie Schmidt in triumph. Maybe it was a little speck of dust that got into his eye , or maybe it was just the wind, but I could swear I saw a few tears of joy roll down Coach Schmidt's face - tears well earned and much appreciated. It truly was a day to remember. One of those days at which "You just had to be there." Yours in Battle, THE PRINCE Ed. Note: Who is this guy?

Phone 825-7569 victories in ·· recent gridiron history at Wilkes College took place last Saturday in Reading. The Colonels, struggling during the last three seasons, struck a major blow toward renewed respectability when they scored a shutout victory over Eastern powerhouse Albright, 7-0. It is the kind of win that can literally _turn a grid program around. The Lions were anywhere from two to four touchdown favorites entering the contest. They were leading the MAC in virtually every vital statistic imaginable and looking not unlike the "Big Red Machine." With a superlative defensive effort, the Colonels changed all of that! · Tony Couto and John Lack, the co-captain linebackers with animalistic tendencies, . led a defensive charge that was truly inspiring. The Lion wishbone offensive attack was reduced to a purring kitten by the time the Colonel scavangers were through. Jeff Welch, the leading rusher in the MAC was held to 67 yards while his partner Dan Daly was limited to 76; far below either's average. The Lions really only threatened once during the entire game; so thorough was the Colonel defensive domination. Rich Chapman fumbled the snap on a 45 yard field goal attempt by Dan Pisarcik and Albright took over on . their own 37. Striking quickly on the fir-s.t play after the fumble, Daly rambled 48 yards to the Wilkes 15. M-ike Molitoris saved the Tt> on brilliant comefrom-behind tackle. · However, 1C · few plays later, DB Mark Arcure chance was squelched when Ed Murray fumbled at the Lion 16.

Scheduled to play the first game are the New Riders, wbo are the defending champions, and a tough Studs Inc. team. The Riders _have been dynamic all year, bowling over opposition with unmerciful precision, but the Studs will give the Riders their first true test. The Studs, who are anchored by All-Intramural tackle Barry Zoppo, lost the Eastern crown to the Smegmas in a bitterly fought contest, 25-17. This game however, was closer than the score might indicate, for the Smegmas scored in the closing minutes on a disputed fumple recovery after the Studs had driven to within 10 yards of the winning touchdown. picked off a pass in the endzone The Riders on the other hand, tore through the East, and always and that was all she wrote for the carried a big enough lead into the final period that not even a slew, a vaunted Albright offense. multitude, or a veritable plethera of bad calls could have influenced The Colonel offense performed the outcome.

Two to three million dollars can be raised for a new dormitory, an addition to the College gym or building U£ the endowment fund which are all being considered by the administration. Just recently the three student leaders: Tom Bazzini, IDC president; Louis DeRobertis, CC president and Carl Holsberger, SG president expressed their personal opinions towards the priority of the campaign. A new dormitory was cited as the utmost priority by both Bazzini and DeRobertis. They argued that a new dorm is needed when considering "that approximately 100 students are living down at the Hotel Sterling." From another view, Holsberger stated "what I would really like to see built, that would benefit more students, would be a new Student Union Building." He feels this would benefit more students on the academic and social aspects of student life. Such a facility would have space for dances, films and other aspects which yields an unlimited scope. Holsberger did, however, concede to the fact that based on feasibility a new dormitory would have to be the number one priority. The Student Union Building was listed second by both DeRobertis and Bazzini. DeRobertis stated that he would like to see a brand new building if possible or a vast improvement to our present one citing the same reasons as Holsberger. Bazzini would also like to see a "new" fa,cility noting this would allow for both dormitory and commuter WNEP-TV To Televise Sigma Xi Discussion students to get together on a social level. Again the CC and IDC presidents are in agreement feeling that a new parking ramp is needed and should be considered as the third goal of the campaign, They also agreed that an addition to the gym is needed and should be considered as the fourth goal. In fact DeRobertis strongly noted that "a gym should have no priority over a parking ramp" when considering the need for parking on campus. Holsberger recognizes the parking problem on campus but stated that "building a ramp is not the answer." "The problem doesn't lie here on campus," Holsberger said "because Park and Lock gives us a good deal." He also feels that economically such a facility is out of the question. When considering the need for an addition to the gym, Holsberger stated it would have to be placed low. He would love to see a new gym but also feels that the other needs of the ··College are stronger.

Jim Edwards Student Union Director Explains Party Policies To All Wilkes Students: As Student Union Director, I would like to inform Wilkes students about the Student Union Building (SUB) and its facilities. As stated by college policy, party tickets are not allowed to be sold at the door because this would make the SUB and the sponsoring organization in violation of Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Jaws. However, many Wilkes students realize that this preceding statement has not been enforced because tickets have been sold around the SUB and Commons areas Jong after the scheduled start of the party. We have allowed suc·h actions to occur in the past because the sponsoring organization was unable to sell all their tickets beforehand. And so, not to lose money on their party, we have allowed them to sell the extra tickets at the door. However, instead of selling them to only Wilkes students, the sponsoring organizations have been selling them to anyone who appears at the door with their money in hand, regardless of age. The Wilkes College Chapter of Sigma Xi will hold its first meeting on Sunday, October23 at 12: 30 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The topic of the meeting will be air pollution and ' the local daily air quality index, which was recently introduced. The meeting will be a panel discussion, which will include audienc~ participation, and which will be televised by WNEP-TV, Channel 16.

Therefore, from now on, to alleviate this problem, all tickets must be sold before the party begins. Tickets for a weekend party can be purchased in the Commons the week of the party, at the usual area between 11 and 1, and also in the New Mens Dorm lobby at mealtimes. Fire laws and limited size of the basement only allow 150 tickets to be sold. So don't complain if you can't get in. Buy your tickets during the week. This. will allow us to bring Wilkes students together and to keep out those who don't belong there. Two to Three Million Expected As Goal The college is presently in the planning stages of a Capital Gifts Campaign, which conceivably could raise two to three million dollars over three to five years. A campaign of this•kind, usually conducted every five or seven years, has as its purpose the raising of a substantial amount of money for some special purpose. The most recent Wilkes campaigns have been for the construction of the library, the Stark Learning Center, and after the flood in 1972. These campaigns are held in addition to the annual fund drive. Dr. .Thomas Kelly; dean of external affairs, explained that the Goals of the College Committee last year identified several college needs, including additional dorm space, a larger endowment fund, expanded physical education facilities and a new Student Union building. After a feasibility study was conducted by Marts and Lundy, a professional fund-raising council, the Board of Trustees voted to go ahead with the campaign planning. The fo,rmation of two committees was authorized--one to devise plans for the campaign and the other to advise and counsel the first group. The second committee includes students and faculty members. Their initial work will help determine how much money the campaign can yield, which will then lead to a consideration of the goals. Dean Kelly outlined the following possible goals (not listed in order of priority): 1. the construction of a student living complex. This proposal rests in part on the decision of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to which Wilkes has applied for a loan. 2. help in meeting annual needs. 3. addition to the endowment fund, the interest of which is used for scholarship and operating purposes. The principal is invested and is used only in rare situations. Wilkes presently has what is considered a modest endowment of three million dollars. 4. addition to the gym to alleviate overcrowding. 5. a new Student Union Building. 6. repayment of flood expenses. A parking ramp was not identified as one of the major needs, and Dr. Kelly commented that such a facility is "one of the hardest things to raise money for," since it does not attract name gifts, and further, that operating costs may make the facility econnomically undesirable.

Corn Nursing .S:fUden, Confirms Uni ca f i On Prob I e,ns I With the advent_ of !he ~apital Gifts Campaign ~n the not-so-di~tant future, attent10n 1s bemg focused on the possible goals of this effort. Naturally most people are thinking in tenns of concrete proposals, such as the construction of various college facilities. A new dorm, a bigger and better gym, a larger Student Union Building, a parking ramp seem to be the major attractions, along with such proposals as additions to the endowment fund and assistance in meeting annual needs. . Discussions on the feasibilty of goals will begin next month. Although the Board of Trustees will make the final decision, student input will be considered. We should therefore begin to consider some of the major goal possibilities. A new dorm is a glaring need, say proponents. With well over a hundred students living in Hotel Sterling, the need for an additional facility is obvious. Also, the historical homes used to house students are becoming costly to maintain, and unfortunately, the atmosphere they lend to the campus is becoming less important than the maintenance problems they create. A parking ramp is also reportedly a worthy proposal. Commuters and dorm students alike are well aware of the parking problems on campus. But raising funds for such a project would supposedly be difficult, and the presence of Park and Lock de-emphasizes the urgency of this need. It is said that a new SUB would greatly improve social life on campus. A larger building may add a number of new dimensions to campus social and academic life, and would also benefit all students. A new addition to the gym would also be a welcome sight. With the Colonel sports program growing each year, practice schedules are becoming crowded and priorities are confficting. The present gym is also not large enough to accomodate large crowds for concerts or big-name lecturers, and the further expansion of the athletic program is hampered by the limited facilities. It may be diificµlt to stress this goal in a.college that is noted for emphasizing academic achievements , however. Enlarging the endowment fund, while not an exciting proposal, is nevertheless and important one. It must be remembered that \Vhile ALL these proposals are important, only a limited number will be realized after this campaign. But although we will probably never see even the beginning of these goals while we are students, we have a responsibilty to assist in any way we can to help make the definition of these goals successful and meaningful. We have an obligation to future Wilkes students to help with decisions that will affect them, just as our predessors did for us. For this reason, we have included a survey form in this issue in order to gaim some significant student input, which we feel can be important in the decision-making that will be taking place. Although a great deal of time and effort remains to be given before any decisions are made, now is the time to be heard if you have anything to say .

I am aware of the Grievance Committee of the NSO. Last year it supposedly went to the Grievance Committee that the students felt there was a lack of communication between the Nursing Depart ment and t he students. What was done about it? I see no improvement in communication. I still feel up in the air about many things. My mai.n question is what did the NLN find wrong with the Wilkes College Nursing program? Yes, I have asked the faculty including Mrs. McHenry. I have yet to get even close to a complete answer. Is it my business to know? Yes, I feel it is. My future career is involved. Many graduate schools and employers are very understanding of the fact that it is a new program and NLN accreditation is a long and tedious procedure . Others are not. I have heard from a very reliable source that a Wilkes College graduate from the Nursfog Department has his Master's degree pending on Wilkes accreditation. This is just one instance, but I want everyone to be realistic about the whole thing. I think Provost Soter's article published The Beacon of Sept. 22 is a perfect example of the lack of communication between the Nursing Department and the rest of the school. Some of Provost Soter' s comments were not quite accurate. True, five new "fully credentialled" faculty members were hired, but what about the other three· new not "fully credentialled" faculty members.

VOL. 1--No. VI . "DRINKING RESPONSIBLY" Booze is one of man's oldest forms of pharmalogical entertainment. Today, its largest use is as a social drug. Very _ Rarely is a college freshman · going to get through the first year without experimenting with alcohol. If you choose to drink, drink responsibly. Alcohol is a DRUG and your drinking behavior now will determine your drinking practices later in life. Responsible drinking may be an asset to your life as a new student. Irresponsible drinking may cause you to miss classes, exams, or ruin a newly found relationship. One of the most important decisions you will make as a freshman is why, when, where and how to drink. Generally, the college • freshmen drink socially to (a) enhance a meal (b) have some fun on a weekend (c) as an excuse to get to know someone (d) for custom (e) other reasons. Responsible drinking is handling alcohol in ways which do not harm yourself or otha-s. Here are a •few tips for drinking responsibly: -Your drinking should be an asset to an activity rather than a primary purpose. - Your drinking should be used carefully in connection with other drugs. --Your drinking should improve social relationships ratha- than destroy them. --Your drinking should enhance human dignity. · Irresponsible drinking indicates that you have a drinking problem and that you are a social· problem to the educational community in which you live. Freshmen will be irresponsible drinkers if they: • --Get drunk frequently. --Drink alone. --Start the day with a drink. --Experience "passing out." --Drink to remove a hangover. --Require medical attention from the use of alcohol. --Experience personality or behavior changes after a few drinks . --Miss classes because of a hangover. --Gulp drinks for euphoria. --Use rationalization relative to drinking, e.g., "I need one for the road." The problem for new freshmen is "Can I drink responsibly?" You can if you want to. If you can't, see a college counselor as soon as possible. Remember: Alcohol is a legal drug which can harm you and others only if you drink irresponsibly. However, other students drink responsibly and they love the life they live. �October 20, 1977, The Beacon Paae 5 r..,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,....,....,....,...,...,...,....,...,...,....,._,....,....,....,...,.J.:r...C,,-..,.....c,o--..,....,....,.....,....,....,....,...,..,..,..,...,.~ I Brooks Robinson Claimed I§ Mind Designs i § ~~~--~ § White's No. l Su erstar I I By Pam Long EDITOR'S NOTE:Eddie White,Assl Sports, Editor of the Beacon spent his summer going to major-league baseball games and meeting different ballplayers. Eddie met such teams as the Dodgers,Phillies,Reds,Orioles White Sox and Braves.in addition to meeting Dorothy Hamill and Muhammed Ali. Here is his story on the most cordial athlete he met. The date was early summer, June 1~,1977. I had just walked out of the Chicago White Sox dugout, where the only ramp to get from the stands to tl- fie!J L'l located in Baltimore's Me~orial Stadium. As I watched the Orioles take batting practice, or ' 'B.P.," as ex-Oriole coach Billy Hunter called it, I noticed a familiar figure at third base, scooping up l{rnund balls . § O I S i8 §S Ssu o 8 8 R ~ ~ N §8 l :« """ Brooks and Eddie White . baseball's Hall of Cooperstown, N.Y.

The plot, a contemporary one slightly resembling that of" A Star o Is Born" yet far from being that fully developed, is a love story played side by side with the story of a singer's struggle to become a star. Yet there seem to exist no concrete developments; that is, there is nothing you can "take with you" as is usually the feeling inspired ~ by a love story.It is difficult to explain why Laura (Didi Conn) ended up in her particular situation at the end of the movie, and that tends to baffle one. As love stories don't always appear extremely O explicit in conveying reasons for character actions, they usually do present "something to go on,"some situation or characteristic ~ which might be even remotely responsible f!}r the conclusion. The - ~ conclusion to "You Light Up My Life," while it is not wished that the outcome be outstanding, so much as to imply our ignorance, ~ does tend to leave one rather "hanging in space." ~ Laura appears to be prone to making mistakes during the course of the show. Her affair with Chris, a movie director, seems -un explainable indeed, unless we define it as "one last fling," as Chris himself suggests. But Laura does not even tell us her motive for 5l staying with this fellow, whom she had not previously known. The ~ whole incident seems rather odd, in any moral sense, when we find ~ that this same Laura is to attend her own wedding rehearsal that very afternoon. When Laura falls in love with Chris she fulfills her second mistake. As a result, she cancels her engagement only to later end up §8 alone on a highway to New York with a number one song as her consolation. We are never told why the suitor loses interest in her, an interestwhich indeed appears to be rather over pearing at their first ~ acquaintance. N Perhaps it is not safe to say that Laura as a singer experiences a "struggle" at all. Her success with regard to her music career resembles an "over-night sensation." The real conflicts in her life deal with breaking away from a comic act instigated by her father, and 8 of course, her "love life" situation. She succeeds in solving the first problem, which sends her to New York with a-hit record, but her previou emotional relationships are ended, and this being the case, s we are left to dub in our own interpretations regarding the situation. "You Light Up My Life," then, appears rather like an "unfinR ished novel," it inspires a feeling of "being lost" and has such vague l\ manner ~f presentation that perhap~ only th~ most indiscriminate, imaginative mind would appreciate it. 8 §8 8 S § s~ 8 S S S g S S "Greek," on me.

'Page 6, The Beacon, October 20, 1977 Tie Turned Into Win Wilkes Harriers 6-4 The Wilkes College cross country team picked up two victories this week, one from a meet, and one from the rule book. Wilkes defeated Albright College, 23-32 last Wednesday at Kirby Park to raise its season mark to 5-4-1, the best in the school's history. The Colonel's one tie has been turned into a Blue and Gold win, as the rule book states: In case of a tie, the top four finishers are looked at. The team with the most points out of th~ top four places wins the meet. Wilkes had the most points and subsequently garnered the victory, sending the Colonels into Tuesday's clash with the always tough Susquehanna Crusaders with a record of 6-4. In the Albright encounter, Danny Thomas posted his ninth first place finish in 10 meets, covering the 4.9 Colonel course with a clocking of 26:55. Thomas, the 5-10, 129 pound freshman from Wyoming Valley West, has just been unreal in this record-breaking 1977 season. Placing second to Thomas was Albright's Jim Strickland, who ran the race in 27: 57. Wilkes captured third and fourth places with Dave Boris, 28:06, and Ed Eppler, 28:25. Following behind Eppler for the Blue and Gold were: Don Patrick, sixth place, 28:40; Vince D' Amato, ninth place, 29:36; Dave Kerek, 11th, 30:01; Dan Rittenhouse, 12th, 30:11; Roger Davis, 13th, 30:25; Mark Zavoy, 15th, 30:59; Jeff Davis, 16th, 31:27; and Pete Kowalchick, 16th, 31:27. The Colonels, under the guidance of mentor Kevin Davenport and the Blue Colonel in the sky, will entertain Elizabethtown tomorrow afternoon at Kirby Park in their last home meet of this exciting season. Wilkes will travel to meet the "Rock and Roll" Scranton University Royals next Wednesday, Oct. 25, and try to make amends for an earlier loss to the Scranton team. Eddie White Smith, Gorgas Make All-Star Team The Wilkes College women's field hockey team was represented well at the Mideast Umpiring Conference held at Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania October8 and 9. Jerry Ann Smith and Barb Gorgas were both selected, marking the first time in Wilkes history that two Colonels placed on the All-Star team. The selections were made following last years Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament which was held at Wilkes in November. By being selected, the girls were eligible to play with the Susquehanna Association team at the Umpiring Conference. The purpose of the conference is to provide top level play over a weekend in an effort to rate field hockey officials. Playing at the conference benefited Jerry Ann and Barb in several ways. It provided them with top level competition against highly skilled players and gave them important knowledge that they brought back to the Wilkes team. Perhaps most importantly, they had the honor of representing Wilkes College at a first rate hockey tournament. Members of the Susquehanna team are from Wilkes, Lock Haven State, Bloomsburg State, Susquehanna University, and Bucknell University. The associations participating were Susquehanna, Finger Lakes, Central Pennsylvania, Lancashire, :Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. Jerry Ann is a field hockey veteran having played four seasons at Conestoga Valley High School in addition to her experience at Wilkes. Barb played three years of hockey while at Swarthmore High School, but never played varsity until coming to Wilkes. Jean Johnson, Colonel's outstanding defensive player, was named to the second team of the All-Stars two years ago. Dave Jolley ' . - tr•r ,. I' WHOA - Mike Wilson's ride comes to an abrupl hall as he gets knocked out of bounds along lhe sideline. Mike took over the quarterbacking reigns after Billy Sparks was hurl and led the Colonels to tht•ir first vic·tor:v of the season: a t:J-7 decision over the Moravian Greyhounds. IN THE CENTER RING - Tightend Paul Wengen and a dastardly defensive back perform a juggling act for possession of a loose ball. Paul has been able to come up with the ball more often than not and leads lhe team with 10 receplions. Perhaps . a sad commenlary on the Wilkes passing game is lhat Billy Sparks, despite only playing in a game and a half, still is the leading Colonel passer. This makes Wengen's accomplishments even more amazing. (Pholo by Bob Gaelano) Wilkes Garners Victory; Now Look To Be Saoilers It is somehow ironic. Just after the Colonels posted their first win of the season, they now must face the best team in the MAC North and by far the toughest team on the schedule. It has been that kind of a year for the gridders . A bright spot followed immediately by impending doom. It was an exciting weekend in more ways than one when Moravian rolled into town. Homecoming weekend saw much activity on the Wilkes campus with the highlight being the honoring of the "Golden Horde. " But any resemblances of the 1977 edition to the 1968 edition of the Schmidtmen were strictly coincidental. The Colonels defeated Moravian by a score of 13-7 but it was hardly an impressive victory. But at this point in the season, they'll take anything they can get. It is hard to tell whether the Wilkes defense was so outstanding as to completely stymie the Greyhound offense or whether in actuality they are really that bad. The same can be said for the Moravian defense concerning the Wilkes offense. In any event, it can be safely said that it was a defensive battle. Keeping in mind the source, the Colonel defense played extremely well. The Greyhounds had only one significant drive all afternoon -but it led to their score. Moravian captain, Bob Ternoski bulled over from the one yard line with three seconds remaining in the third quarter. Ed Jasiewicz added the point to cap the only Moravian scoring. The TD came at the end of a 10-play, 60-yard drive, keyed by a 31-yard pass completion from Dave Kishbaugh to Stu Feinberg. Moravian ha d be e n having offe nsive problems all year until two weeks ago when they defeated Western Maryland with sophomore Daryl Eppley at the QB helm. Senior Kishbaugh took over again last week against the Colonels after his · brief demotion, but it's a sure bet that Eppley will get another shot this week. Defensive highlights were the name of the game for the Colonels. Headhunting middle linebacke r Tony Couto was phenominal. He was involved in virtually every tackle and when he wasn't making a tackle, he was forcing the play in another direction. Certainly a key play was his interception of a Kisbaugh pass in the fourth quarter. Mark Arcure made ·a diving deflection while breaking up a pass attempt and Couto grabbed the rebound and returned it 15 yards to get the Colonels out of some trouble. Bill Sobczak also made one of the most important plays of the game when he fell on a fumbled pitchout at the Wilkes 34. The Colonel offense had fumbled deep in their own territory to put Moravian in good position but Sobczak's play ended that threat. Freshman Ed Mollahan accounted for half of the Wilkes scoring when he crushed the ball when he fell on it in the endzone. The big defensive tackle from Dover was awarded the WBRE MVP award for his outstanding play. Both he and Jim Devaney were in the Moravian huddle virtually all day. Again, the Wilkes offense had few highlights. One of them was the return to the lineup of Bill Sparks but that was short lived glee. After a broken bone in his thumb had sidleined him for four weeks, he suffered strained ligaments in his right knee and will be lost to the Colonel attack for an undetermined amount of time. Mike Wilson took over for Sparks in the second quarter because Bill Slavoski was also injured. Wilson directed the only Wilkes drive, a 42yard, seven play jaunt that was capped by Ed Murray's 4 yard TD. It marked the first time that the Colonels have scored via the ground attack this season. Carmen Lopresto led all Wilkes rushers with 67 yards on 17 carries. Including some breakaway runs of 12 and 14 yards. The 14 yarder looked like it was going to be a 79 yard TD but he had stepped out of bounds. The Wiikesmen are going to have to play virtually flawless football Saturday if they expect to stay even close to the Albright Lions. The Lions are closing in on their third consecutive MAC title and it looks as though Upsala is the only team with a shot at them. A look at their MAC stats gives an idea of their complete domination of the league. They are 4-0 and leading every important statistical category. Tops in total team offense and defense , yielding only 161. 7 yards while gaining an average of 395.7. Fairly impressive! Their wishbone offense almost never cracks, sporting an incredible rushing team. Three of the top five rushers in the league are from Albright. Jeff Welch leads the league (68-399 ) followed by Dave Kalodner (60-296 l in turn followea by fifth place Dan Daly (49-247). Veteran QB Pat Sharp engineers the rushing offense. When it's time to throw the Lions aren't exactly suffering either. Although they are primarily a running team, they have the fourth ranked passer in Bill DeNichols. They also score quite a bit, having three of the top five in the league's scoring ranks in Daly, Welch, and DeNichols. Mark Redmond anchors an offensive line that is peerless. He was an All-MAC and ECAC performer last season and has plenty of help from his friends. The Albright defense is also quite formidable. All-MAC tackle Kevin Kelley and Mark Crow hold down the fort while All-MAC linebacker Ray Granger and safety Rod Neary roam the backfield . Leading the league in both offense and defense and shooting for a third consecutive MAC crown; if they keep this up they'll be calling them the "Cardinal and White Horde." Jeff Acornley �The first" snowstorm of the season last Monday was an omen of things to come on the Wilkes athletic scene. It was the opening of practice for the winter athletic teams on the campus. Hopefully, they will begin playing up a storm when the opening of-the.winter sea.sons come. Six weeks of long hard training started in the Wilkes gym on Monday and the fruits of labor won't begin to be seen until after Th~nksgiving. The primary winter sport at Wilkes is, of course, wrestling and deservedly so. Coach John Reese has done a yeoman job with his grapplers year after year. Last season was perhaps the finest in the school's history when they posted a 17-3 mark. They also ranked fourth in the Eastern Tournament and qualified to send four wrestlers to the National Tournament in Oklahoma. Graduation has taken four of the wrestlers from Reese's starting lineup and those gaps will have to be ulled. This year's schedule is one of the toughest in Wilkes wrestling history. It features such national powers as Penn State, Lehigh, Syracuse, Oregon State, Tennessee, North Carolina and Oklahoma. Basketball mentor Roger Bearde's headaches are hopefully over. Last season was a series of continuous nightmares for the Colonel cagers and Bearde is hoping that he and his players will be able to turn the program around. A 7-15 record was posted last year but they have only lost one player due to graduation, The women's cage team and the combined mens and womens swimming team round out the Colonel winter sports activities. The winter teams are being counted on to help bring back an aura of respectibility to the 1977 sports teams at Wilkes. At least it won't rain inside of the gym!

The tennis team under the guidance of Publiese and fellow c1rcaptain Sally Steele as well 'lS coach Sandy Bloomburg are still undefeated in league play and are shooting for their third consecu tive NWPIAA title. HAND - Th e 1977 wom e n ' s te nnis season has been a long, cold, but prosperous one for Coach Sandy Bloomberg and he r Colone lettes. Presently, the women are 6-4 overall , and they are undefeated , 6-0 in league action. In the beginning or the season , many people wondered if the team could keep up the good work, as they lost the services of JoAnn Englot, Patty Steele, Chris Koterba, and Sharon Wilkes. The loss of these four letterwomen through graduation placed the burden on returning letterwomen : co-captains Sally Steele and Joann Pugliese, Reenie Corb e tt and Diane Polachek. Also a ssisting in this task were : Judy Bellas, Jon Wolf, Linda McGwire, Laura Canfield, Rose McMahon, Jay Ormsby, and Debbie Welliver. The team has kept on the winning track but their record has been blemished with four nonleague matches a ga inst Lock Ha ven, Buckne ll , Blooms burg and Seton Hall. The four losses against these teams may have marred the Colonelettes' bid for a perfecr overall record in 1977, but the experience learned from such defeats is invaluable. In addition, it is exposure to teams like Bloomsburg, Seton Hall, Lock Haven and Bucknell, which will e nable the women to play matches a g ainst more rugged competition in the future. So far this season , the Colonelettes have defeated Bible Baptist College , College Misericordia, Lycoming, King's College, and the University of Scranton twice in almost un, contested bouts, as the Wilkes ' women took control from the beginning of all six matches. Thus, the Wilkes' women have fou nd the path to winning ways, and if their record this year is a vision of years to come, then the Colonelettes will be staying in the championship spotlight for a long time. Against Baptist Bible College, the Wilkes tennis team had three exhibition matches. In singles action, Colonelette Dianne Reznick defeated her apponent, Debbie Shore, 6-2, 6-2. However, Dianne's teammate , Karen Kretchmer didn't have as much luck, as she was defeated by BBC 's Donna Weems, 6-2, 6-2. For Colonelettes ' Maryann Morgan and Joy Ormsby, it was a day to be happy, as they went on to defeat BBC's Tenna Fazerberg and Nancy Taylor, 6-0, 6-0. This afternoon, the Colonelettes travel to Dunmore to face Marywood College. The match is the last scheduled for 1977, so if you can make the trip to see this fine Wilkes' team, you will see a lot of action. Time of match is 3 :30 p.m . Bob Ausura West; SmeglJ!llS Beat Studs Beacon A_nalyst Correct The big and just abou\ only action in Intramural Football this past week came about in the contest for first place in the Western Division between two previously unbeaten teams, The Studs and ,T he Smegmas. The game was close all the way, with Steve "Snake" Grasley and Nick Gard scoring TD's for the Studs, while Smegma Mike Vassil carried his team with three TD receptions. Tony DeVincentes, who covered(???) Vassil all game long, did a fine job, holding him to 40yards per catch, only 25 above his average. Action in this game got most intense in the fourth quarter when after scoring two safeties to draw within one point (1817) of the Smegmas, the Studs got the ball and drove to the Smegma 10-yard line with only a minute to ' play. The following play, however, resulted in a disputed call which could cost the Studs the Western flag, and referee Bill Polaha his job. The hand-off was given ·to Stud halfback Nick Gard who tried to slice off tackle, only to have the ball stolen a split second before (or is it after) his flag was snagged. The crook on this play was Bob "Beanno" Owens, a reknowned cheap-shot artist , and lousy softball hitter, who lumbered with the ripped-off pigskin 90 yards for a game clinching -touchdown. That score made it 25-17, which is the exact score the Beacon's expert intramural anaylsts predicted a week ago. The loss puts serious dents in the Studs title hopes, since in the play-offs they will now be· forced to play the Eastern Division champion New Rider's in their first game, a team nobody has even come close to beating. Champs ~ year ago, the Rider'·s are 5-0, with an offense that averages 51 points and a defense that has allowed a chinsy five points per game. Since the Smegmas have now won the West, they will play the team who comes in second place in the East, probably Slocum Hall now that the STX have folded due to financial difficulties. GRID BITS: This years most improved team has been Slocum by far. Prior to this year, Slocum had never won a game, [dating back to 1955] but somehow turned it around this year with three forfeit victories, and now can boast a 3-1 record .....along the same lines, Ed Van Burm has to be the most improved worst offensive player in the league. Don't panic tho~h Ed, because on defense, your still the worst .... .. Smegmas center Phil Pecuch claimed he was not at all impressed with Stud All-Intramural defensive line BaITy Zoppo. Said Phil, "He didn't catch me once the whole game....... New Rider Steve Lear has really turned the juice loose lately, and has become a big, big, part of the Rider attack .....The Dennis Phelps Fan Club has disclosed the recent signing of All-Intramural second baseman Mario Apuzzo and free agent Bruce Lear. Apuzzo will add even more speed and power to the 1977 softball champs while Lear's bat should be a big a asset to the Phelps team, as they try for an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. The BAT, which was considered the best in the league last year, will be used exclusively by Phelps players this season, and there is a possibility that Bruce himself might even get into a game.
