How~ver, there is a much stronger incentive for donating one's blood: the simple fact that it is desperately needed by others who are less fortunate than ourselves. Kathy stated, "There is now a larger demand for blood because of more advanced medical and surgical procedures; that is why we raised our goal to 325 pints, as opposed to our goal in recent years, which was 300 pints." She also stressed the importance of attaining this goal, as there is no substitute for "the real thing." It was the practice in previous drives to hold competitions among dorms, the winner being the one whose students donated the most pints . .

Golden Years Of Football Team A memorandum initialed by housing director Joe Marchetti was distributed to all present at the IDC meeting on Sunday. The memorandum concerned the general disapproval of campus parties felt by the housing office and the Dean's office. It was stated that certain aspects of the party policy are being violated: exchange of money at the party itself is prohibited, large parties must be held in the SUB (not in the dorms ), profits over $10 must be turned over to IDC, and the distribution of hard liquor at parties is prohibited. IDC president Tom Bazzini remarked that he did not know why there is this feeling of disapproval, because there have been no incidents yet, to his knowledge. Bazzini offered that it might be profitable for both sides if the dormitory students try to revise t he party policy. "It's feasible that t hey might allow students to serve hard liquor," said Bazzini~ "after all, anyone could get just as drunk on beer as any other kind of alcohol."

The day and time for these meetings has not been established yet. The Freshman Life Committee, consist ing of members of th e administration and the freshman class, has suggested that IDC, Commuter Council, and Student Goverment combine into one council. The reason stated for this was to end the segregation of dorm students and commuters. The reaction to this proposal was one of general disapproval, as one IDC member stated, "the meetings would be too long." During the 1940s, . the Wilkes College football program, which was under the direction of George Ralston at the time, was a strong one which carried with it a lot of pride in both itself and from the community. This feeling was somehow lost in followi ng years. Then in 1965, this atmosphere was changed to one of enlightening hope. Out of this era came the " Golden Horde," the greatest players in Wilkes football history. Homecoming '77 honors those players this weekend.

And that they did. The Colonels had the power that year to go all the way to win their first Middle Atlantic Conference title in the history of the College. In 1966, the Colonels went on to finish -with a perfect unbeaten season. The climax of this season came on November 17 when the Colonels became the recipients of the Lambert Trophy. The road v.::ent on for the Colonels to 1967 with 21 victories and a second straight 8-0 season. After the successful 1967 season, the Colonels were already thinking about the 1968 season ahead. They were to lock heads with some tough teams that year Buch as the University of Vermont and Delaware Valley. But, through the Colonels' probing determination, they went on to defeat these teams and capture another unbeaten season, making their total wins at 28 games and capturing anot her Lambert Bowl, along with the "Timmie Award" symbolic of the :·i~~tstt~~~g ;~i:\:~~r~ w ~t~ fitting way to end a golden era that put the Wilkes College Colonels in the spotlight of national prominence. As George Pawlush stated so well in the latest Wilkes College "Quarterly," "In time there would be other streaks and other grea teams at Wilkes College, but there would only be one "Golden Horde."

The committee is still investigating this point. However, it is stated in the council minutes that "a committee was formed to work on the idea of the combination parking lot and SUB." Committee chairman, Phil Murosky, was then given a vote of confidence to take a survey of whether students would like a parking ramp over a large Student Union Building. DeRobertis is strongly against this survey arguing that this survey may jeopardize the chance of . getting a new SUB facility when no SUB has been discussed or proposed of this size. Murosky stated that he needs t o know what the students want through a bro11cd opinion which this s urvey will indicate.

This weekend marks pemaps Wilkes College's most traditional activity, as it brings students, both past and present, to the campus. Bonfires, football games, dances, plays and halftime activities are all part of the annual Homecoming tradition. Another special event takes place less than a week from today, on Thursday, Oct. 20. It doesn't feature the myriad of special activities that Homecoming does. No displays, dances or dinneni will be held. Despite this, the day is still an important, although not a new Wilkes event, and is one which can have even more impact and meaning than does Homecoming or any other activity. What is it? Blood Donor Day. "Oh, that again," you say, as you turn to another page. If you're still with us, think about the purpose of this semi-annual campus activity for just a minute. Twice each year, the Human Strvices Committee and the Amtrican Red Cross come to this campus hoping they can round up enough students, faculty and administrators who care enough about their fellow man to give of their time and themselves. It's obvi()usly a vtry personal sacrifice for which they ask--the only gift that comes directly from the heart. It and love are perhaps the only two commodities that money can't buy. If science could manufacture artificial blood, it probably would in order to eliminate the need to beg people to donate: But as yet, no one has found the answer to that problem, so people in need still must turn to people like us. And although we may try to convince ourselves that there really isn't a need for our blood, there is. We visited the lab in a local hospital recently and were shocked to see the small quantity of blood that was on hand. "As you can see," said a nurse, "we never have enough." But each one of us has enough blood in our vEins to be able to sacrifice one pint next, week. Sure, it takes up some of our time, it is an inconvenience, and there really isn't any reward--except for that unique sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from knowing you've helped someone when he needed you most.

Treernania' Revealed As Hoax To The Editor: The semester is now almost half over and in every issue of The Beacon some mention has been made of either trees or treemania. The coverage eminates exclusively from letters to the editor. But have the students really spoken (written)? Does there exist such a frivolous concern over trees? I think not. I contend that it is a fake, a ruse created by one student, and one student alone who has signed the letters with names from present day literature. I present evidence gained from the English Department, the Registrar's Office, and the testimony of Dr. Cox. Daniel A. -Miklander is not now, nor has he ever been a student at Wilkes. He is a well known playwright on the west coast whose works include "Further On," "Where Are You Ida Schlum?" and "Today Is My Day To Give Out Lollipops." L. Christofer Daryl is the author of the novel "A Disastrous Time in the Life of a Dreamer," and a collection of short stories entitled "Insouciance Palette." Robert Knorr is not an author but is the main character in I. Andrzey Somofs "Freedo111, than Peace." Niiki Hjalman Liljestrand's death two years ago at the age of twenty-seven legs Contest' Review Draws Criticism To The Editor: Dear Ms. Sare, . How are you? Transftring to King's, we hope. Maybe there, you won't be troubled by poor student entertainment. Perhaps, you would be even better off at Miserecordia, where you could live a life of total celibacy. In t~e instance that y~u . 811' confounded by what this letter has to do with anything, we didn't like your review of the 'Legs contest! We don't hold anything against you personally; we merely feel that you were rather ambiguous. It's as ·if your'e commending A.I.B.S. for putting on a show in the first place, then condemning them for doing such a lousy job. Are you suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia? Face it, the only thing that you didn't cut down was the problems they had with the lights on stage. Of. course, how could they have known that the lights were · connected to the lavs in the front of the building? Pemaps I.E.E.E. could explain that. We also dont't believe Dr. Turoczi's quote. He speaks in circles, not squares. We hope that this litttle bit of criticism won't discourage you from continuing in your career as a critic. The other day, I saw an ad for a critic. I believe it was in PRAVDA. Obnoxiously, David J. McElwee Philip J. Spigarelli Dear David -and Philip: Thank you for your concerned response to my critique of the "Legs" contest. I am pleased to know that my opinion warranted such a powerful retort. I was commending the A.I.B.S. for "putting on a show in the first place," however, their "doing such a lousy job" was your misinterpreted paraphrase. I didn't wish to "condemn" anyone, it is only my opinion that legs don't stimulate me intellectually. I will respect anyone's opinion if it is justified and is not malicious. I had no intentions of maligning Dr. Turoczi. I respect the man as well as his position, and all quotations were direct. I especially appreciate your not wishing to offend me personally, as I realize your interest in my future literary pursuits. Gratefully, Lynn Sare certainly excludes him from being a student. Liljestrand was a poet and painter of the abstract expressionistic school. The letter signed "Harold Cox" has given the movement much of its credibility. But Dr. Cox did not write it. Fitting into the general trend, Dr. Cox is also an author. He has a · weekly newspaper column and has penned several books on the history of trolleys and streetcars. It is truly a shame . that this person, who ever he or she is, used Dr. Cox's name and thus tarnished his outstanding reputation as an author and scholar. I hope that t he letters, and this ruse will end. Love and Pea,ce, We've been had! After receiving this letter we asked Dr. Cox if he actually did write the letter in last week's issue [which was signed]. He denied that he did, and indicated that evtry single treemania letter was written by the same person [and he knows who it is]. He said that if we wanted to see this penion, all we would have to do is look for someone sitting in a tree. If you see us walking by, "Treemaniac," just ·drop down and say hello. ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS Please come to the Finance Office in Parrish Hall to sign for NDSL and BEOG Grants as soon as possible. Nursin'it"S'iudent Replies To .C riticism Of Dept. . To The Editor: As a member of the Nursing Student Organization Grievance Committee, I feel responsible to respond to the article which appeared in the September 22 issue of The Beacon. This article discussed the viewpoints of three students who felt "misled and uninformed" by the Nursing Department and also alluded to the lack of communication within the Department. True, the nursing program was not accredited and perhaps this upset many students as well as the faculty.. and administration. The administration never stated that the program would definitely be accredited, they only stated that it appeared that it would and for this viewpoint they have documentation. Before one can intelligently complain about the non-accreditation one must first become knowedgeable of the complicated, involved, and time consuming efforts involved in attaining this goal. As a new department this writer feels, opinion only, that tte department should be acknowledged for their effective first attempt. Presently, the department is busy resolving the weak points which were submitted to them by the NLN and hope to reapply for accreditation by the Fall of 1978. Graduate schools and future employers are well aware of the complicated process of accreditation. Post graduates currently in graduate school or already employed can testify to this fact. If by change a student has . problems in his quest for employment, he should contact the administration at the Nursing Department and they personally will contact the employer involved and discuss the present situation. Finally, concerning the so-called "lack of communication" within the department, I would like to present the followingThere is a committee called the Grievance Committee which was established by the N.S.O. in April of 1977. This committee is a functional part of the NSO and was created solely for the solution of problems between students and faculty and-or administration. Avenues of solution begin with the class representative who was elected by his classmates to the N8.O. ' Problems should first be taken to the Representative and if there is no satisfaction at this level then take it to the level coordinator and if satisfaction is still not achieved it should be brought to the Grievance Committee. The problem will then be discussed in the presence of . the nursiqg student faculty or administrators directly related to the problem and the Grievance . Committee which consists of students and faculty. The Grievance Committee is the middle-man who listens to both sides of the problem and then with student and faculty seeks a solution. Therefore, the "lack of communication" can be related to a lack of understanding how to intelligently and orderly seek a solution to the problem. For communication to be present and effective problems should be discussed with the department of organization where the problem lies. Communication is a two-way street of giving and receiving information and when there is a lack of it, one should consider the previously explained process of solution and pursue these pathways until a state of effective communication is established. Bill Martin Member of the Grievance Committee Criticism Directed At Critic To The Editor: I was fortunate to receive a copy of The Beacon on the other side of 180. Whil~ reading it, I came across Pam Long's review of "Annie Hall" which infuriated me to the point of writing this letter. · Apart from her review differing from all the professional reviews I've read and the success of the film in San Francisco . and nationally, her criticism was completely shallow and unjustified. I respectfully suggest that part of Allen's "depression" comes from fools like Ms. Long who have the insight of a turnip. If Ms. Long finds the " ath.Jetic-pea brain" her ideal mate, I would think she would not want to publicize the fact. As far as the characters being "very shallow... and not constructed upon serious lines," I wonder if Ms. Long knows that the movie has strong autobiographical undertones? It is a dis-service to your readers, who might be foolish enough not to attend due to this ridiculous review, to print such poor critiques. As for Ms. Long, to quote her, she "might inspire in one a certain pity."

I stated last week, that Wilkes freshman harrier Danny Thomas was undefeated and unbeatable. Well, as my luck has been going lately with the Phillies and all, Thomas was nipped by one second in the Colonels 36-21 loss to Lebanon Valley at Kirby Park. The loss set the Colonels season record at 4-4-1, with an extra victory hanging in the wind. Coach Kevin Davenport, who has done as tremendous job · with Wilkes as Earl Weaver has done with the Orioles, said according to a rule book he found, the Blue and Gold's tie should be a win, with Wilkes taking the better of the top four places in the contest. The jury is out on the fact and we'll have the ruling reported before Perry Mason gets · involved. Meanwhile, back at the Kirby Park ranch, where Wilkes fell to • ,?r:7 Lebanon Valley. Thomas was defeated by Bob Stachow, who set a new course record with a clocking of 26: 22. Thomas , finished second, for the first time all year, with a time of 26: 23. Stachow, a third-place finisher in last year's Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament, battled Thomas neck-in-neck throughout the race before pulling ahead in the final mile, and passing Thomas in the last 100 yards. Finishing behind Thomas for Wilkes were: Ed Eppler, sixth, 28:06; Dave Boris, seventh, 28:29; Don Patrick, tenth, 28:57; Dan Rittenhouse, eleventh, 29: 36; Jeff Davis, 12th, 29: 52; Roger Davis, 13th, 29: 57; Vince D'Amato, 14th, 30:09; and Dave Kerek, 15th, 30: 52.

JOIN US ON OCTOBER · 14th, 15th, 16th HOMECOMING '77 - A TRIBUTE TO THE GOLDEN HORDE DON'T MISS IT Colonel Gridders Still .Winless; Moravian Rivalry Renewed Pride; an oft-maligned term. It is often carelessly tossed about when an 0-4 team prepres to meet a 1-3 team in the middle of a season; when publicity men are struggling for some point of interest in order t o somehow draw a crowd. " Well, since we are hopelessly out of the title race and there' s lit tle or no chance for a winning record, t here must be something we are playing for. I can't think of anything. Hum, let's try pride," mutters some half-crazed journalist to t he football c·oach. " That's as good as anything I can t hink of," mutters t he coach in reply. "Let's go with t hat approach." The Wilkes-Moravia n matchup does not produce that kind of a stereotype when the word pride enters t he discussions. There is nothing fake about t hese two institutions and t here is not hing fake about t heir football programs. Gut-level pride goes deep. Deep into the revered past, into what has gone before. This is t he kind of pride t hat will be at stake tomorrow. It is not something to be salvaged, it is to be savored. The Wilkes-Moravian contests are 23 years old. A very Jong time to sustain a rivalry. It is the longest in Wilkes football history and there . will be some real emotion on that playing field tomorrow. Moravian is struggling through an unusually difficult season. Their first win came last week at t'he expense of Western Maryland after opening the season with successive losses to Dickenson, Delaware Valley, and Widener. Their previously slumbering offense finally came to life when incumbent quarterback Dave Kishbaugh was replaced by sophomore Daryl Eppley. It was Eppley's first start and he performed marvelously, completing 10-12 passes for 139 yards and 1 TD in the 28-14 conquest. Another key figure in the rejuvinated offense of the Greyhounds was Bob Ternoski. The senior captain had been injured in the early part of the year but reacted to his return to the lineup spectacularly. He rushed for 93 yards on 22 carries and his mere presence uplifted the spirits of the proud Moriivfan team. Ternoski's sidekick, junior Bob Meyer had almost a carbon copy of the day that the captain had. Meyer rushed for 95 yards on 22 carries and also added 2 TD's. After slumbering through the initial portion of the year, Ed McGettigan was a major surprise last week as he garnered 228 total offensive yards for the Greyhounds. He was all over the place, returning 4 kickoffs for 138 yards, snap while punting and Tom ca tching 5 passes for 85 yards and Yuhas and Chris O' Brien tackled ·a t ouchdown, and gaining 5 more him in t he endzone for a safety. yards on a running play.

The Colonels are expected to have a busy week as they are scheduled to entertain Baptist Bible yesterday and will face the University of-Scranton in t he Homecoming contest on Saturday at 10: 30 at Ralston Field. It was the third straight week of rain and mud which played havoc for the Colonel hooters. Moravian won the lopsided victory by making 29 shots on goal, compared to only 14 goal shots by t he Colonels. The only Colonel to hit the nets was fres hman Dung Chi Duong, a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School and formerly from Viet Nam. The goal came midway through the second half and was unassisted. Junior goalie Joe Stephens had 23 saves for t he Colonel cause. Stephens is replacing fres hman Cliff Brautigan who is expected to be taken off t he injured list sometime this week and may see action in Saturday's contest. Co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Tony Apostolaros played fine games but the Colonels couldn't penetrate t he Moravian defense. Also making a fi ne showing for t he Blue and Gold were Nick Golowich, Nicholas Pitsas, and Joe P iccone. Coach Eaton is hoping to turn t he tables and start to build in the win column in the second half of t he season which begins in the Scranton game. The Royals are a much tougher team t han their humble 2-4 record indicates and t he Colonel hooters will have to be on the top of t heir game to beat t hem; Last season, Wilkes lost a 3-1 decision to t he Royals. Looking ahead on the schedule, t he Colonels will travel to Albright on Thursday, October 20 and face * Elizabethtown on October 22. Bob Gaetano Last Thursday, t he Colonelette tennis team's winning streak came to a halt when the Bloomsburg State H uskies came t o town. The larger Bloom unit haunted Wilkes with another shutout and defeated t he Blue and Gold, 9-0. · On P arent's Day, the team split a doubleheader wit h Bapt ist Bible and the ever t ough Seton H all. In the first of t he two matches, Wilkes defeated Bible, 6-1. Victories were evident for Colonelettes Canfield, Pugliese, Corbett, and Polacheck. Debbie-Welliver's effort went in vain as she was defeated by BB C' s Kathy Green, 6-2, 6-2. The Colonelettes swept house in the doubles as Jan Wolf-Linda McG uire flew by BB C's Donna Weims-Jay Tingley, 6-0, 6-2; and Wilkes Judy Bellas-Rosie McMahon uproot ed BBC' s Chiquit o Otto-Debbie Olie, 6-2, 6-2. In their second match against Seton Hall, the Colonelettes were crushed by the North Jersey school, 6-1. Wilkes Jan Wolf was defeated by Robi Cunningham, 6-0, 6-2. Seton' s petite blonde ace, Brenda Lupo put coals on t he fire as she- defeated Reenie Corbett, 6-1, 6-0. Hall's Tina Sullivan defeated Diane Polacheck, 6-1, 6-1. Co-captain Sally Steele had her work cut out for her but she just couldn't get it going as she was defeated by Donna Dourney, 6-1, 6-0. Oh, thank heaven for doubles, since Wilkes stopped a shutout with Jo Ann Pugliese-Laura Canfield's win over the Hall's Cheryl Bode-Phyllis Magina in an exciting match, 6-3, 7-5. However, Wilkes lost its remaining two matches in doubles. Wilkes coach Sandy Bloomberg stated after the Seton Hall match,"! am very pleased with all the girls performances against Bloom and Seton Hall, as it is this type of competition that will enable our team to be better throughout the remainder of this season and in the future." And Coach Bloomberg' s words were not wasted as Wilkes defeated Williamsport' s Lycoming College, 6-1 on Tuesday. Back in style, Reenie Corbett defeated Kim Eddy, 6-0, 6-2. For Warrior Gina Shinshidian, the sun didn' t shine as sout hpaw Colonelette Jan Wolf won, 6-2, 6-4. Newcomer Jay Ornsby looked sharp under pressure as she defeated Warrior Sue Burch, 6-1, 7-5. Debbie Welliver just can't win that first set, as she lost to Kitty Strunk, 6-2, 7-6. Jo Ann Pugliese tip-toed by Lycoming's Annie Parry in the first set, 7-6, and hung on to defeat Parry in the second set, 6-3. It was embarrassing for Lycoming, as their first doubles players Jill Deisler-Liz Thompson never showed up, therefore Sally Steele-Linda McGuire had the day off with a win by default. In the second doubles match , Wilkes Judy Bellas-Rosie McMahon gained their composure and defeated Lycoming's Sue Butterworth-Lisa Woof. The next t wo matches for the Colonelettes are both at Ralston Field. At 3 p.m. tomorrow they face the ladies of Marywood and on Tuesday the school down t he road, King' s is the foe.

Kevin Roland starred for the Studs with one touchdown pass to Chip Pufko, and two TD's of his own. Thanks for relaying this info, Kevin. For the Smegmas, (runner-ups the past three years) Greg Tomcho again led the attack with four TD passes. The Beacon' s pick in the Smegmas-Studs game is the Smegmas by a score of 21-14. In the West, it was again the New Riders dealing out some heavy punishment, this time to Priapus House, 44-0.

The stats from the Wilkes-Delaware Valley game are a good example as Wilkes held the edge in every depart ment except goals. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. To say the least, t he team was very frustrated in gaining merely a tie against Del Val. The Colonels outshot t heir opponents 32 to 11 and led t hem in penalty com ers 18 to 3. But it just wasn't their day as they lacked good execution and handed t he ball a way several times. The defense got caught off guard throughout t he game as the team was trying so hard t o score t hat they forgot their defensive responsibilities. Once again, Jean Johnson and Monica Krammer saved some key shots by the opponents. . On attack, the team got several good rushes but failed to score more than one goal. Ronna Colvin scored the lone goal on an assist by Pam Snyder. Barb Gorgas and Marie Elko had some great rushes but just ·couldn't find the goal. .Coach Meyers felt that the loss was "exasperating," stating, "Delaware Valley plays us tough every year and their defense kept us out throughout the game. We just couldn't do two things right in a row- and that hurt us for the whole game." Things didn't get any better on Thursday as the girls suffered a 4-2 setback to Bloomsburg State. Wilkes started the game by executing perfectly, but later in the contest the bottom fell out. Wilkes took the early lead as Pam Snyder took a pass from Jerry Ann Smith and flicked the ball over the goalie' s head and into the cage. The lead was short-lived as Bloomsburg scored three goals late in the first half to take a solid 3-1 lead. .When the second half started, the team looked sharp once again. With only three minutes gone in the half, Mary Jo Frail sent a beautiful back pass to Jerry Ann Smith who shot it in for the second and final Colonel goal. Following that goal, Bloomsburg went on the .attack and controlled the tempo for the rest of the game. Fine defensive efforts by Karen Worlinsky and Lee Ann Earl kept Wilkes close. " Wilkes played part-time hockt;ly," stated a disappointed Coach Meyers. " Part of the time we played well and the other part we looked dreadful." Wilkes played the majority of the game without co-captain Barb Gorgas who was forced · to leave the contest with muscle cramps. Julie Kerrick filled in admirably but losing any player definitely hurts the teams' performance. In the JV contest, Bloomsburg was victorious again 4-0. Bloom has 40 people out for hockey so their JV team plays together as a unit constantly. Experiencing a lack of players, Wilkes cannot do the same. Margo Diesenhouse and Elizabeth Powell are showing steady improvement. Goalie Dawn Evans made some nice saves but paid for it by getting hit in the shoulder with a stick. It is not yet known how badly she is injured. .Th.e varsity record is now 2-3-1 while the JV team has a 1-2 slate. · Dave Jolley Men 's and Women·s Hair Styling YOUR FATHERS MUSTACHE PENN PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER Wilkes Barre Pa.

Activity which began during the summer and ended early this week has moved at least seven offices and departments to new · homes on campus. The changes are as follows: Parrish Hall to the second and third floors of Chase Hall. 1. The Sociology-Anthropology Department has moved {rom 2. The registrar's office has been moved to Parrish Hall after operating for years from the basement of Weckesser Hall. ~- ---...,----------- situation would be to have all these offices in SLC, but the lack of space prevents this. It will probably be some time before everyone becomes familiar with the new locations. If you're one of the unlucky people who wanders the basement of Weekes-· ser !learching in vain for Mrs. Barker or Mr. Meyers, just remember that Wilkes is "on the move." 3. The Office of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies has also packed up and moved to Parrish Hall. 4. The Veterans' Administration Office has relocated to Parrish. 5. The recorder's office has accompanied the registrar and Continuing Ed in the move to Parrish. Recorder Ruth Bishop was formerly on the first floor of Weckesser. · 6 .. Project Upward Bound and . the Act 101 program moved from Chase to Ross Hall this summer. MOVIN'ON- Maintenance men have been working diligently, transporting office equipment and supplies from one end of the campus to the other.

Reenie Corbett The future of the basement of Weckesser is still a question mark, although a number of suggestions have been made. The Beacon has taken over the former Vets' office, and is using it as a typesetting and newspaper layout room. Parrish Hall is obviously the center of activity in the moving process, which is precisely the reason it has been so involved. The registrar, Continuing Ed and the recorder were moved there in order to centralize the registration and financial procedure, since both the business and finance offices are located in Parrish. Formerly a student had to trek · back and forth between W eckesser, Parrish and the Computer Center in Stark Learning Center to register, pay bills, pick up class cards, change schedules, etc. Now the system is more localized, although not really centralized, since Parrish stands at the far end of the campus and the Computer Center remains in the middle. Provost Richard Soter explained that the ideal NEW HOME- The Office of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies is now in the process of settlin« down in its new home Consolidation Proposed By Trustees' Committee Carl Holsberger, Student Govment president, reported at the SG meeting, Monday night, that the Freshman Life and Housing Committee is suggesting that the three student bodies of IDC, CC, and SG be consolidated into one. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, is in favor of this proposal arguing that it may bring more organization to student affairs. Holsberger and Dean Edward Baltruchitis expressed feelings against this proposal but will discuss it further with an open mind. The Freshman Life- and Housing Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. Under committee reports, the social committee headed by John Sentore announced that the theme for this year's winter weekend is the ''Wilkes College -ff SC To Hold Raffle The Human Services Committee is sponsoring a raffle for the benefit of the American Heart Association. The purpose of the raffle is to raise money for the Heart Association to aid in its research and work with heart disease. Tickets are now on sale and will continue to be sold through October 25. The prize is a $50 gift certificate from the Wilkes College Bookstore.

"Lady Sings The Blues" will be shown in the SUB, free of charge, on Saturday at 6: 00 p.m. and Sunday at 8: 00 p.m. The mo:vie was originally scheduled for two showings on Saturday night A report was given by Greg Black, concert chairman, on "The Outlaws" concert held · last Thursday which 1800 people attended. A floor covering was borrowed from King's College for the concert but Black is going to look into getting one for the College gym since it is so desperately needed. Some complaints were expressed to Black from SG members concerning the concert where the music was too loud, rushed through, and where people had trouble seeing. The overall view, however, was that t he concert was a success. Jim Edwards On The Cover Neither rain nor sleet...

The group's first engagement this year will be at the Gong Show which will ta!rn place on Friday, Oct. 28. After this the band prepares for a Christmas concert tour which they give every year at 12 local Junior and Senior High Schools. During the college Christmas break the group returns a week early to leave on t his provincial tour. Because of this local touring, t he band is probably better known off t han oft campus. Last yea r, fo r the first t ime, the band traveled to Owego, NY during t he holiday break to perform at a J'unior and Senior High School in t he area:-. They are plan ning to return there again this year.

Student Government, for the first time this year, is sponsoring the band so that they will be able to purchase new music- • for this year's spring concert. Approximately 20 people are wvu, vtu .,he band this year, (not all being music majors ), enabling the group to keep a standard jazz band size of five saxophones: five trombones, fi ve trumpets and five people in the rhythm section. Their qm sic ranges from Count Bassie and Duke Ellington to Woody Herman, Stan Kenton and - Maynard Fergeson. The Jazz Band practices every Monday night from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Anyone that is interested in joining the group, who has his instrument, is welcome to come out and audition. Chuck Allabaugh 111 Kenneth Koch To Speak And To Read His Poetry American poet and playwright, Kenneth Koch 1 will visit Wilkes on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to talk wit h students and read from his works. The reading, scheduled for 8 p.m. in SLC 101, is open to the public. " Koch is fo nd of making poetry out of poetry- resistant stuff," says one of his critics." Locks, lipsticks, business let terheads, walnuts, lunch and fud ge attract him; so do examples of inept slang, silly sentiment, brutal behavior, a nd stereoty ped exotica and erotica." Koch' s remarkable literary talent has given him a place almost entirely his own in American literature. He has published many books of unique poetry including, " Tha nk You and Ot her Poems" (1962), " Ko, or a Season on Earth" (1959), and his most recent, " The Duplications" (1977). Koch has worked wit h children and t he elderly, s urfacing poetry in those who least realized t heir creative abilities. I n "Wishes.Lies, and Dreams" (1970) , Koch teaches t he writ ing of poetry. " Rose, Where did you Get That Red ?" (1973) presents poetry as literature in an effort to get children to write poems similar to t hose t hey read. Koch was born in 1925. H e lives in New York City where he is What college women are being pinned with. professor of English at Columbia University. Koch, together with J ohn As hbery and Frank O'Hara, was a principal of the "New York School, " a group of poets working in t he middle 1950' s to transcribe t he "abstract expressionism " in painting for poetry . He has written scripts for mll,ny experimental fil ms, two of which have been produced. His most recent work is a full length play," The Red Robins," adapted from his novel of t he same title. The Beacon will be out on Friday, October 14 in honor of the Homecoming activities. UPWARD BOUND - Do you enjoy working with young people? Would you like to do something constructive in your spare time? If you are this type of person, Upward Bound may have a niche for you to fill. Project Upward Bound is a remedial education program that is sponsored by Wilkes College and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. It is designed for local high school students who are disadvantaged for one reason or another; yet, have the potential for college. Because of their circumstances, they may be deficient in some of the basic skills necessary for success in such an undertaking. Special classes, tutoring sessions and career counseling during the school year and summer are just some of the activities organized to help these students make their dreams of college and a future career a reality. Upward Bound needs people to tutor in all high school subjects. Sessions can be arranged at the volunteer' s convenience, in evenings and after school. Limited white card hours are available for eligible students, but the program is largely seeking volunteer time. Interested ·people can contact Barb Greenwood, director of Upward Bound, at the Upward Bound office on the second floor of Ross Hall [251 South River St.], or call ext. 306. Members of the Upward Bound staff include: Esther Harvey, Mary Lou Krysic [standing] and Carl Edwards. - - --- -- --- - ~ -- -- -- - -- - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - - -- --~ Most employers think twice about hiring people with criminal records.

Paae 3 Bright Light Leaves Campus Som eone once said t hat t here are two ways to bring light into the world- to be the flame itself or to be the mirror t hat reflects it. Marianne Montague is both, for her personality can illuminate any dark corner, and she also has a special talent for allowing people to see the best in themselves, especially when they're feelin g pretty worthless. As a student here, Marianne took an active part in campus life, managing the swim team , being a member of The Beacon editorial staff, becoming .a Homecoming princess and being selected for Who' s Who. She ended her · undergraduate days in style, graduating cum laude with a B.A. in English-Secondary Education with a concentration in journalism, and being named "outstanding graduate." " That was the proudest moment of my life," she said, "because receiving both my degree and that award represented my acl;idemic and campus activities. That meant a lot t<1'me because I learned at Wilkes both inside and outside the classroom." Although she was " ready to face the world," she found that the teaching market was all but closed, and she returned. to Wilkes for graduate courses, and to work at the Housing and Alumni offices. One year later (last week) she was informed that she had been hired as t he Program Coordina tor for Student Activities at Bloomsberg State College, a position for which 90 people applied . 'Tm really enthusiastic about the job," she said, and she expressed her appreciation t o the people she worked with both in Weckesser a nd Housing (including the RA' s) who " supported my career plans while always helping me grow, and who were always my friends." As hard as it is for t hose who know her to see her leave Wilkes, it's also difficult for her to leave. "It sounds corny," she said, "but I can see the memories passing by, and they were all important parts of my life. Most of those memories are of the people at Wilkes-those who listened and laughed with me. I'll always have them with me." People who know her will admit that they spent a great deal of time _laughing with her, for she possess an exceptional sense of humor, coupled wi_th true warmth and understanding. One of activities on TheBeaconwas to write a weekly humor column, " Dream On," which charmed readers throughout t he campus and was probably t he most popular series this paper has ever featu~ed . ~ e continued to exhibit her witty style in t he Wilkes College Qua~rly as a member of ~..,....,....,....,....,...~_,..._,,...,.....,....,.....,....,,...,.....,-..,....,,...,..../.)"".,r..r...r..r~..r..,......,--('"..,.....,.....,,-..,.....,....,.....,...,....,.....,......ct ~ § , § § II il'lfl Sifl[fll] l'IIJIJSfl II I § ~ § 271 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston Carries A Full Line Of Hi-Fi Equipment I§ • Advent I§ • Bic I§ • Bose §§ § • Kenwood • Nakamichi • .,,, Pioneer • Discwasher • Yamaha ! • Dual • Cerwin-Vega j • Hannan-Kardon • TDK ~ 8888 §~ ;. §§ l 1- ~• § § t he editorial staff. In add ition to her ability to see t he lighter side of life, she is also capable of sustaining other's spirits by listening patiently, talking sincerely and somehow planting hope. If she ever decides to charge for those services, the Rockefellers are in for some stiff competition. As if that weren't enough (I told you you'd be embarassed, Mare), she's also modest and unassuming, refusing to stand in the spotlight, while us ually that someone else does instead. It may seem impossible for any one person to possess all t hese attributes and not yet be canonized , but anyone who knows Marianne will agree that she's someone special. " Why do want to write about me for The Beacon?" she asked . (typically). "A lot of people leave Wilkes when they get jobs." Well, that may be true, Mare, but none of them ever won the love and affection from so many people that you captured so easily.

It is estimated that a total of between $75,000 and $1 million is spent by t he. College's dorm students each year. The reason for t he questionaire is due to a proposal by the College to raze a few of the men' s and women's dormitories on campus such as Miner, McClintock and Gore t o build a major high-rise dormitory complex. But the city does not totally approve of the idea tha t the College will not have to pay any taxes on a new Housing complex. Public Relations is trying to defend its case using the results of,-this survey. This new dormitory, if it is built, would increase the total dormitory population; therefore, increasing the money that would be circulating into the community businesses. The person responsible for the rash of. thefts that have been occurring in the past two weeks was caught last week. He confessed to eight of the thefts. IDC president Tom Bazzini stated, " Just because this guy was caught doesn't mean we shouldn't ·be more careful in the future. We should use this as a lesson."

Vol. I - No. V "MATERIALS MANAGEMENT OR THE TERM PAPER" A Letter To ''Judas'' Dear Flowering Judas, We read your first issue recently, and as the reputed "established voice of Wilkes students," would like to sincerely welcome you to the campus. We're not sure in what manner we were expected to behave, but we have no intentions of condemning your efforts to 'try to blow all you people [students) out of your apathetic stupors.' We think that is a wortny but awesome goal, and is one which, believe it or not, we try to achieve also. We believe that yoq can serve a useful function on this campus and can be a valuable asset to students. But take care that yoq don't forget some important ideas that should be at the heart of your efforts. We don't mean to sound pre&chy, but we are in a position to reflect on some of the things we have learned through our mistakes and through the opportunities we have had to see aspects of Wilkes that relatively few students are able to view. Perltaps the lessons we've learned can be of some value to you. The most important idea to remember when venturing out into the publication world is that truth and fairness should be the overwhelming theme in everything you write. The problem is that truth can be hard to distinguish among the many shades of gray and fairness is a relative thing. As a result it is easier to offend people than it is to please them, even though yoq never intended to be unfair. But don't let the thought of offending someone prevent you from saying what you know is right- just be certain that you are. § Also, you will probably soon find that the wall of apathy is hard to crack, especially when you are committed to fairness and accuracy, for they often take some of the sting out of your story. It's easy to stir up interest in an issue if you print things you can't prove. And, if you really believe in what you're doing, don't hide behind anonymity. This only shows a lack of faith in your convictions and a lack of courage. It's easy to take pot shots at people when they don't know who you are.

Get Your Dictionary: Another Tree Freak Expresses Criticism To The Editor: Being a devotee of sesquidpedalianism, I find it categorically imperative that I produce counter evidence to Robert Knorr's unruminated letter concerning Daniel A. Miklander's cor• respondence to The Beacon. I shall not at all delve into the venomous criticism of its "satiric• al" and " literary" worth, except to say that I thought it a prime example of prosaic epistolary form. Rather it is Knorr's accusation surrounding the valid· ity of the word "stegophilist" with which I shall deal. The word "stego" is Greek in origin. It is derived from "stegos" meaning roof or cover. A prime example of its applica• tion is Stegosaur. This creature was a herbivorous dinosaur of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods characterized by its heavy, bony armor (a cover for protection). The element "philo" is also Greek in origin. Philo means "loving" and a philist would be a "lover." Hence a "stegophilist" is a person who loves to cover objects, e.g. an alpinist or a tree climber. I might suggest that Robert Knorr purchase another dictionary and perhaps a thesaurus. The paperback edition that he now owns is insufficient for college needs. Sincerely, Niki Liljestrand P.S. In Chris Daryl's letter on "Treemania" the word magnolia was misspelled. I ts proper form lies above. ' II II l ,., I i I You enter class, your instructor hands out the course syllabus, test dates out of class assignments and the term paper required for the course. If you are registered for 18 credits, this may be the third term paper required of you for the semester. If you are lucky you will have one. The first term paper usually counts as a full hourly exam; therefore, it's important that you gather, assess and communicate information to the instructor in a logical way. Term papers are generally assigned so that you can research and learn a specific body of knowledge. It is important that you develop a systematic approach to research and writing. Since your first college term paper will be a chore, don't wait until the last week of the term. Once your topic is assigned, locate the college library and ask an employee to show you where data may be found. Generally, library orientations are conducted at Wilkes College by members of the English Department. Nevertheless, get a jump on your competition, don' t procrastinate •- get started and you will feel a sense of relief if you have your paper completed well in advance of the assigned date. Here are a few tips for writing your first college term paper: Acquire a term paper manual. Ask your English instructor for a few recommenda~ions on authors. Manuals are inexpensive. Most manuals will have the following as a general theme. Identify your topic and compile a bibliography on your topic. Use 3 x 5 cards and indicate author, title, place of publication and date. Prepare and outline. ~ Information extracted from your reading should be placed on 4 x 6 index cards. Also, each card should indicate the source of the extracted information. Somewhere on the card indicate whether the extracted idea is (A) a quotation, (B) a conclusion, (C) your idea, (D) author's idea, (E) paraphrase. In essence you dqn't want to be guilty of intelligent shoplifting commonly known as plagarism. Footnotes in your term paper must establish the source of your extracted information. _ Your term paper manual will show you how to list footnotes and utilize such Latin abbreviations such as "Ibid.," "Loe. Cit." and "Op. Cit." although such abbreviations are gradually being replaced with other methods. : Write a rough draft from your cards - just get your thoughts down on paper. Review the draft for spelling, grammar, logic, idea development, general organization and sentence structure. · When writing your paper there are some general rules of thumb. Use "quotations'.' only when necessary. Your term paper should not be a paper of another person's words •· just say it your way. Write clearly and simply, don't be addicted to big words. Make sure your paragraphs support your thesis statement and topic • don't throw in words to fill up the paper. Place your paper aside for a few days .. come back to it and proof read it with care. Get another opinion from a friend who is an English major. If you don't have one, find <ine. Make your final draft look neat. Use quality white erasable bond paper. Purchase a clear, plastic cover or manilla folder to give it a orofessional oolished document look.

Iill , Includes All Artists & Labels ' Sexy women, fantastic contraptions, sinist~vfitain;s,,u..avn_d_t-he immortal 007 are all rolled into one to form a more recent kind of James Bond movie, ''The Spy Who Loved Me." This time Bond (Roger Moore) is involved in a zany plot to apprehend the culprit responsible for kidnapping several nuclear submarines by using a tracking device. The idea is, of course, to destroy the world, and the impenetrable secret agent accepts the challenge to terminate the scheme. The tone of the movie is fairly consistent in keeping with the previous 007 ventures, which starred Sean Connery. Yet it seems this Bond lacks that special finesse so characteristic of the imperishable undercover man. Perhaps it might be safe to say that Moore does not project that quality rf control which the old Bond seems to have been famous for. Moore does adequately fulfill the role, howeYer, in comparison to tl1e original he seems rather to resemble a modern Alexander Mu11dy, -.vith perhaps a bit more starch. In keeping with the initial 007 flavor, everything is indeed bizarre. The deathless secret agent seems to have a contraption for every situation. But because of Bond's past reputation it is not surprising that he should be equipped with a digital computer read-out wrist watch, a car which conve_rts into a submarine and a parachute that saves his life as he skis off the edg~ of an enormous mountain, pursued by thugs. Bond's relationships with women come as no shock, yet his style in such matters cannot but be envied. His " dashing personality and charm" encourage numerous voluptuous beauties to ultimately melt in his arms on sight, thus nourishing the spy's extraordinary ego. But here, 007 is enthralled with one particular .goddess who ends up accompanying him on his mission. The lady would indeed seem to represent Bond's equal, as far as occupation goes, but the incomparable spy succeeds in "conquering" her as is typical of his style. Style indeed seems to be Bond's trademark, as it is evident in everything he relates to; his women, attire, form of travel (Unheard of!), speech and so on. This characteristic, however, might be his only noteworthy quality, as he is otherwise a ther foppish fellow. And humor? Bond's humor is indeed an outrage! The sarcastic comments he utters at the most opportune times produces such farcical comedy, one ultimately has to respond with "Oh, <;ome on!" Ah, such wit! But this is par for the reputation of James Rond; he is a farce, but he is also "the best." Meanwhile, evil forces set out to destroy the hero, headed by the scandalous Strombel. One memorable maniac is a character named "Jaws." This gruesome fellow, along with having a mouth full of metal also possesses a will to survive comparable to that of Bond himself. He becomes rather comical and ultimately \lnforgettable. ' 'The Spy Who Loved Me" thus celebrates the reincarnation of the unforgetable 007, the secret agent with a tremendous capacity for surv1va1, a harem of beautiful women and a waggery which should perhaps have remained buried!

The Blue a nd Gold lost t heir home innaugural to M uhlenberg last Wednesday, 6-1 and were defeated by Lycoming College in t heir second home contest, 6-5. The Colonel hooters beat Muhlenberg in t heir previous meeting, which turned out to be a hotly contested match at Muhlenberg. The damp rain wasn' t the only thing present, as the Muhlenberg hooters filled the air with a strong feeling for revenge. At the end of the first period, Wilkes trailed 20-9 in goal shots and 4-1 in scoring. Mario Apuzzo, junior co-captain was the only Colonel to score, hitting the nets at the end of the first period, unassisted . The offensive hustle of sophomore Warren Bush, fres hman Dung Chi Duong, a nd senior Tony Apos tolaros seemed almost wort hless, due to t he muddy field conditions. Freshman goalkeeper, Cliff Brautigan played a respectable game, making 22 saves before leaving the game mid-way through the second half. Brautigan was desperately trying to defend his goal when he collided with a couple of Muhlenberg's .persistant offensive players. He is now on the injured list for three to four weeks with torn ligaments in his leg. Junior goalie, Joe Stephens replaced Brautigan and did a commendable job, making 9 saves and allowing just one score. Reserves Steve Bailey and Ed Finn provided some excitment for - , Colonel fans, demonstrating tough physical contact with their Muhlenberg adversaries. Despite the good defense in the second half, it was already,_.too late and the Colonels found themselves on the short end of a 6-1 decision. On Saturday the hooters played their second home match and dropped a 6-5 squeaker to Lycoming. Although the poor weather conditions prevailed for the weekend, things went a little better for the Wilkesmen. Since a few more Colonels joined the scoring ranks, Coach Eaton believes they will do a better job with their remaining schedule. Co-captain Tony Apostolaros scored the first goal of the game when he fashioned a 35 yard kick 11 minutes into the first period on a pass from freshman Dung Chi Duong. Wilkes recorded their second goal when Dung(Zoomy) was illegally pushed and drew a penalty kick for the Blue and Gold. Mario Apuzzo kicked the penalty shot and made the score 2-0 favor Wilkes. Mario also scored the third tally for the Colonels on a pass from Apostolaros just SOCCER BRAINPOWER- Co-captains Tony Apostolaros and Mario Apuzzo check out the game plan with Head Coach Chip Eaton. before the first half ended. Lycoming managed to score two goals in the first half. The second half was also dominated by Wilkes, but Lycoming made it count when they had the ball, scoring four times. The final Lycoming goal came with less than two minutes remaining in the match, awarding them with a close 6-5 victory. Other Colonels breaking into the scoring ranks were sophomores Joe Piccone and Nick Golowich. Warren Bush was credited with the assist to the Golowich score. _ Wilkes saw their record drop to 0-4 but Eaton is optimistic about . their game at Moravian, Saturday at 10:30. Last year the C6lonels defeated Moravian 3-2 in a hardfought overtime battle. After the Contest with Moravian, Wilkes will be at home on October 11, entertaining Baptist Bible College. • Bob Gaetano FOOTBALL from page 7 Well , as they say in the trade, there's always next week! Undefeated Upsala rolls into town riding a 3-0 record and sporting a tremendous defense. They have Hockey Squad Scores Twelfth Straight NPWIAA Victory; Home This Week The field hockey team struggled through a tough week beating the University of Scranton 8-1 but losing to Kutztown 4-1 and Lafayette 2-0. The team's overall record is now at .500 with two wins and two losses. The Colonels looked unbeatable on Tuesday as they kept on the attack against Scranton getting 33 shots on goal against only 10 for the Royals. Coach Meyers' girls gave a total team effort scoring eight goals to go along with a great defensive performance. Marie Elko, Barb Gorgas and Julie Kerrick each had two goals in the lopsided win. Pam Synder added a goal that was so quick that the University of Scranton team didn't know ' what happened. Jean Johnson led the defense keeping the ball up to the attack throughout the game. Wilkes substituted freely in the contest using 17 players. Goalie Lee Ann Earl was forced to take No Doz once again as she had to kick the ball only three times in the entire game. The victory over Scranton was the Colonels' 12th consecutive victory in N.P.W.l.A.A.play. Since the league was formed in 1974, Wilkes has never lost a league game. Thursday's game was not so easy. Kutztown, a far superior team to Scranton, outshot Wilkes 22 to 12. They provided the toughest competition for the team so far this year. Wilkes played a tough game, but Kutztown was there to capitalize on the Colonels' mistakes. Marie Elko scored once again but a Kutztown goal tied it up just before the half ended. In the second half a tough Kutztown defense held the team scoreless while they added t hree goals for a 4-1 final. Coach Meyers had much praise for Kutztown' s effort: " Kutztown is so aggressive, I always get the feeling they are playin g with an extra player. It seems that they a lways ha ve a player at t he ball. Our defense did a good job in t he majority of t he t ime, but t he mi nu te we let up -- t hey were right there." Mrs. Meyers stressed that her team's mistakes proved to be th e difference. " Wilkes didn' t get outplayed," s he statP<l. " We were in the game. The difference was we mad e mistake"> and they didn"t." Once again, Jean Johnson was a sta ndout on defense. Lee Ann Earl proved why everyone says she is a class goalie making 10 saves. Geri McAfee, a sophomore transfer student, did a good job on defense in her first varsity ap pearance. ' It must be noted t hat Kutztown has a larger program than Wilkes does and' they are consistently tough each year. This is also true of Lafayette who has a very strong team. Over 90 percent of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Lafayette was played in a pouring rain and the game was finally called with close to 15 minutes left because the field condition became so bad. The combination of the rain as well as losing 15 minutes of playing time definitely hurt the team especially in such a close contest. Wilkes showed the powerful Lafayette team that they are no team to warm up on. The stats were not too far apart with Lafayette holding the edge in shots 23-14 and in penalty corners by only 11-8. Lee Ann Earl was super in goal tending once again making 15 saves. A great defensive effort was led by Monica Krammer, Karen Worlinski and Lu Ann Neely . The defense never let up sending Lafayette away from the goal time and time again. A turning point in the game could have been missed shots by Jerry Ann Smith and Mary Jo Frail. Both girls had some tremendous shots on goal but the ball just wouldn't go in. . The team will be definitely asking itself what the outcome would have been if the final 15 minutes had been played. the team was breaking through -the Lafayette defense more often and more quickly in the second half. _ "I am very pleased with the total team performance," noted Coach Meyers. "We lacked some power on attack, but our defense did a great job." The team unit is st~tting to come together but a few weak spots still exist. If the tea m plays the rest of the season with less mistakes, they can be tough. Evidence to the caliber of team tha t Lafayette has is th e fa ct t ha t th ey are hoping for a bid to t he USFHA AIA W fi eld hockey college chan:,pio ns hip tournament in November.

Jeff Acornley The Colonelettes tennis team extended t heir win streak to t hree with wins over Misericordia, 6-1 and t he University of Scranton, 6-1 over the past week. In action against Scranton, Wilkes' Reenie Corbett crushed her opponent Sue Gay, 6-3, 6-1. It was only last week that Corbett defeated Gay, 6-2, 6-2 . Royal Kathy Coleman defeated southpaw Jan Wolf, 6-1, 6-1. Colema n had ru led the court last Wl->ek against J o Ann Pugliese t he las t time two teams met. T he Coleman victory was the only win for Scranton for the afternoon. This week it • was different for co-captain Pugliese as she rebounded and defeated the "U's" Barb Mechling in a 6-3, 7-5 tiebreaker. Once again Diane Polachek looked devastating by overpowering Sandy Selinski, 6-4, 6-4. In a grudge match, Colonelette Laura Canfield went against Royal Kathy Knowles for 'the third time in two years. The match moved into a third set and the crowd was stunned when Canfield defeated Knowles, 6-4, 6-3, 6-0. The doubles action was in the "Good Hands People" as the Colonels Steele-McQuire pair were too much to handle for Scranton' s Moisey-McIntyre, 6-3, 6-1. In the nite-owl doubles, Wilkes' Bellas-McMahon were seeded against McManus-Stanchak. In a superb effort the Wilkeswomen emerged wi th the win.

Bob Ausura SDiegnias, New Riders Rolling With Wins In a crucial football encounter this past week in the Western Division, Miner Hall and the Smegmas squared off for a game whose outcome will be disputed for years to come. Miner came in to the game overconfident of themselves, and as a result were burned on the first and second offensive possesions by the Smegmas. "Broadway" Greg Tomcl:10 launched two touchdowns to his two normally not-so ·surehanded halfbacks Mike Capperal and Bruce Douglas for an early 14-0 lead. This score held until the third quarter when Miner finally came to life via a Brian Hoynak touchdown toss to wide receiver Ken Hughes. The Extra point was missed, and the score stood at 14-6. Lightning struck quickly however, as Mike Vassil ran the ensuing kickoff back 92 yards to boost the Smegma lead to 21-6. However, Miner got a break on the successful extra-point attempt ·when halfback Douglas viciously spiked the ball, only to have the ball b?unce back and spike him where the sun don't. shine, eliminating him from any further action for the day. Miner quickly capitalized, using a 40 yard halfback option pass to Pete Pagano and a 10 yard bootleg by Hoynak to get within a point, 21-20. After that, two interceptions by Smegma Scott Sultzer kept the boys from the Hall in check until with 3 seconds left in the game, when Miner lined up for a 35 yard field goal attempt by Mike Heller. The kick appeared good as the final gun went off, but referee Bill Manley said no because the ball was too high as it went over the crossbar. The Smegmas, not the type of team to argue with officials, accepted the 21-20 victory and limped home. In the East, the New Riders continued to roll with a 41 -19 win over a tough STX II team. The Riders, behind the moves of "Disco" Tom McIntyre are scoring this year at a rate of 1,3.5 points per game, while allowing t he opposition only 12.5. _ Welsh Holgash Penn Plaza Shopping.

Concert & Lectllre Series Begins With Steel Drums The Concert and Lecture Series gets underway this Sunday at 9 p.m., when it presents a concert by the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Drum Band in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts (CPA).

In the period following World War II, when money for musical instruments was not easy to come by, the natives of Trinidad began using abandoned oil drums to play Calypso music.

Johnstown Taskforce Seeks Students · To Assist Operation Darte Hall and CPA experienced some water in the lower levels this past Monday due to the large amount of rain that fell in this area. According to William Gasbarro, chairman of the Music Department, the water entered the building through drains i,n the lavatories. The water was discovered at 6:30 a.m. on Monday. AU equipment and paper work located in the basement of Darte Hall was moved to higher floors. Only three grand pianos were left in the basement. Stu~enl:' in the Music Department helped by moving 15 pianos, percussion instruments and the choral library from the basement. Gasbarro stated there was enough water to cover the floor but that it had not accumulated to any depth. ' Students from the Music Department were also sent over to help the CPA staff move anything in the basement of the CPA to higher levels. The Wilkes College Taskforce · for Johnstown has six more weekend trips scheduled to help the people of Johnstown. Volunteers are needed to help with the cleanup work. The Taskforce is appealing to the student body to offer some assistance in these cleanup operations. The cleanup forces leave from Darte Hall on campus on Fridays at 5 p.m. and return to the campus Sunday at 6:30. p.m. William Gasbarro, Takforce coordinator, stated students need working clothes and boots for the weekend's activities. J Arrangements for meals and sleeping are at no cost to the volunteers. · Anyone interested in helping with the cleanup operations in Johnstown is asked to contact Gasbarro at Ext. 340; CC President Louis DeRobertis; Tom Bazzirii, IDC president; or SG President Carl Holsberger. different sections of the heads of the drums, the band members are able to produce various sounds and chromatic scales. On several of t he band's engagements, audiences have been known to swarm up to the stage almost en masse, just to get a look at these ' unusual "instruments" and the techniques the band members use in playing them. The Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band has played Rockefeller Plaza, Central Park and Lincoln Center Hall in New York City, t he Pan American Union in Washington, D.C., and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It has given two command performances for the Queen of - Englp,nd and for the last three Presidents of the United States. It received a Grammy Award in 1972 and the Humming Bird M_edal, the highest musical award in Trinidad. It has made eight straight World's Fair appearances, not to mention countless engagements at colleges, private clubs and conven· tions all over the country on the extensive tours. Almost every engagement has been played to standing room only audiences and has received standing ovations.

For instance, there is studying in the rooms ..... Golfing in the hall ..... The Hotel Sterling, located directly across from Parrish Hall, has been used as a dormitory for Wilkes students for the past three years and with favorable results, according to Joseph Marchetti, director of Housing, and .leanne Conway, Housing assistant. The "dorm" takes up six floors of the hotel from the third to eighth floor and houses 105 students - 50 female and p5 male students. The students live in unoccupied rooms, mixed in with regular and transient residents of the hotel. "Most of the students are freshmen and transfers, but there is a small amount of upperclassmen," Marchetti stated. Students living in the hotel call their dorm the "Largest Dorm on Campus" and have basically the same lifestyle as those living in regular dormitories. There is an IDC representative and officials for the dorm. Dorm meetings, j - - -1 J " ,.I I And of course, weekend parties [Or is it Halloween practice?] ..... · however, are held in a very posh setting, the Crystal Ballroom. The students will have Homecoming functions and have intramural teams like any other dorm. Originally, the hotel was thought to be a ''.bad atmosphere" for students, but Marchetti points out that things have worked out all right and that the hotel has cooperated in making students feel at home. "After the regular dorms are filled, the overflow is assigned to the hotel," Marchetti explained. "The contracts ' are for the semester and as space becomes a available we move students up, although some wish to stay at the hotel." Despite some problems, room damage being the major one, Marchetti described the experience at the hotel as profitable for both the students and the housing staff. Marchetti Pleased With Dorm Parties . Housing director, Joe Marchetti remarked at the IDC meeting on September 25 that he was satisfied with how the dorms have been cleaning up after parties. It was stressed, although, that no profits may be made from parties. As always, there is a $10 limit which is to be put into the IDC fund. Along the line of parties, a suggestion was brought up to have large parties in the New Men's Dorm center lounge. Marchetti said that he was not in favor of having such parties because of the danger of damage occurring. Marchetti added that the SUB parties were established so that the dorms would not get damaged, but he would be willing to listen to a committee explaining the reasons for wanting center lounge parties. IDC PRESIDENT Tom Bazzini, warned of a rash of thefts that has been going on in the dorms and other campus buildings. The suspect has been described as a high school student with brown hair. All dorm students are advised to keep their doors locked at all times, and to report any information about the robberies to security or a Resident Assistant. Complaints about broken televisions in the dorms were voiced and Marchetti asked for a list of the broken sets so that they all can be fixed as soon as possible. Mr. Shaw announced that resident halls requesting name plaques will be receiving the plaques very soon. Shaw has also asked to have the washing machines working for free or at minimal charge. The food committee announced An Accounting & Business Club Event ~~cil. Also included is ·that the CC president must be a member of the council for at least one year It was reported that the Fresh~ man Life Committee received CC's proposal on how to improve freshman commuter life, with parking, orientation and a place to relax as the main topics. A report of the committee's intentions and reactions will be reported to CC in the future. Much discussion was held on the topic of The Beacon article of last week's meeting concerning what was written in the report to the Freshman Life Committee. It was agreed between The Beacon representative and CC president DeRobertis that there was a definite difference of interpretation of the meeting's outcome. DeRobertis stressed that CC does not want to appear as the commuters fi ghting against the dorm students, as he claimed the article implied.

Main Street Wilkes Barre, Pa. I ~ The maintenance service provided on the campus has usually been the subject of many complaints over the past few years. This may not be the case in the near future if the maintenance crew keeps up the work described by Joe Marchetti, housing director. "We accomplished a lot this past summer," said Marchetti, who is also assuring students that"the maintenance men are working and things are getting done." One of the reasons for the improvement is the new staffing of Columbus Services, the College's maintenance crew. Marion Jones is the new Project Manager. Jones now oversees both the maintenance and custodial duties on campus. He was formerl y the Supervisor of Custo, dial. Under Jones are two new supervisors. Roger Jones (no relation to Marion), recently hired as the Supervisor of Maintenance, holds a degree in electrical engineering. Charlie Toma, the new Supervisor of Custodial Duties, is replacing Marion Jones. Maintenance is working to keep iihead of the damage and break down loads. Since the College buildings are old the break down is higher then might be expected. However, Marchetti said "the damage problems are really irritating and throws everything behind." He continued to say that he is working with the Resident Assistants to control the damages and also feels that the students are cooperating more. _ . Right now maintenance is working on each building separately. Barre and Bedford Halls recently had their maintenance problems taken care of and Denison Hall is reportedly the next building to be worked on. Marchetti is very optimistic about maintenance this year but noted that it is going to take a while before maintenance gets to every problem on campus.

Phone 825-7569 �Page 4, The Beacon, Septemb_e r 29,- 1977 CC President Is 1Devastate.d .~ By Account Qf Meeting To The Editor: After reading The Beacon's article covering the September 19th Commuter Council meeting, I was devastated. Everything important accomplished at the meeting was ignored. After having a long meeting with the serious purpose of finding the greatest problems facing commuting freshman and deciding what could be done to solve these problems, a written report was given to Mr. Haberkorn, chairman of the Freshmen Life Committee. These solutions are never mentioned in The Beacon article. What is publicized are a few statements made by a few members, statements that serious members of the Council ignored, and that are nowhere reflected in the report given to Mr. Haberkorn. What is worse is that The Beacon passes these statements on as the genera1 opinion of the entire Council. The Beacon article states that a discussion which lead to a report to the Freshmen Life Committee came up with three main problems: parking, freshmen orientation, and no particular place to go to relax. In regard to the first problem The Beacon article states the Commuter Council would suggest a parking ramp as a goal of the Capital Gifts Campaign. Next it Cox Proposes Analysis Of Campus 'Treemania' To The Editor: The other day in my eight o'clock class mention was made of the present on campus movement known as "treemania." I suggested that a systematic analyzation and interpretation of both the immediate and underlying causes was necessary to fully comprehend the relevancy. The immediate cause is obviously the cutting down of the elm tree. The underlying causes are far more deeply rooted. Not wishing to be a single causationist I nevertheless cannot downplay the role of tradition in the development of "treemania." . Numerous examples of trees abound throughout literature, folklore, and in actuality that have made significant contributions to the world t oday. Certainly length prevents any substantial dissertation and rather than attempt it I shall merely establish a chronological list, leaving it to the students to discourse on the significance. 1. the winnowing fan of Odysseus. 2. the tree used in the making of the cross-of which at least 5,000 pounds exist. Most of these splinters were sold as relics during the Crusades. 3. Birnam Wood attacking Dunsinane-MacBeth by W.S. 4. t he collaboration between an apple tree and I ssac Newton. 5. the cherry tree that instilled a high moral standard in George Washington. 6. Nathan Hale's association with a tree, at the end of a rope. 7. the trees that composed Linc6ln's cabin. Most interesting is the total void of heroic trees during the last 150 years. Thank you, Harold Cox · History Department reads"Council members f~l this is much more important than a new dormitory." Nowhere does it mention that the overall Council feels, what the proposal to the Freshmen · Life Committee actually was: that a new dorm should be top priority to the Capital Gifts Campaign, but that a parking ramp should have priority over a new gym, if possible. Next, The Beacon brings up the subject of orientation. True, the Council did suggest it should be longer. However, while we did feel there can be more . things accomplished with a longer program, the general opinion was that this year's orientation was very good, not inadequate as stated in The Beacon. It is concerning orientation that The Beacon makes the worst example of taking a statement .of an individual and passing it off as that of Council'-s. This . comes when the article states that "most representatives feel that the oreintation program is ... geared toward dormitory students." In my opinion, this statement is a cheap shot at Commuter Council, which only adds fire to the ridiculous dorm student commuter student feud. What was proposed, in actuality, was that having activities from morning until late at night for successive days places an inconvenience on • a commuter. The most distressing fact about this Beacon article was that it ignored the real purpose of our meeting, ig11-ored the important decisions we made, and seemed to have the sole intent of raising controversy, by inciting friction between dorm students and commuter students. To really decide that a parking ramp "is much more important than a new dorm" would mean that there are a majority of selfish, inconsiderate idiots on the Council, which there are not. Furthermore, to accuse the Council of this counter acts all the work the Commuter Council has done this year to break the dissension between dormitory students and commuters. If the Commuter Council has had one goal this year, it is to do as much as possible to bring the commuter and dorm student as close as possible, to break down unnecessary barriers that separate them. In fact, at the last meeting, any use of the term "dormies" instead of dorm students was stopped because it was felt that it has sarcastic connotations. In addition, the whole purpose to having a new and better S.U.B. was to be a place where commuters and dorm students could get together during the day to have a good time. To finish, I feel that The Beacon has done not only the Commuter Council, but the whole student body a great injustice, by ignoring well intentioned proposals and simply concentrating on raising a controversial issue between dorm students and commuter students. Respectively yours, Louie DeRobertis 'Ode To A Dying Thought Inappropriate ElmPreMident To The Editor: I thought the letter by Daniel Miklander printed in the last issue of The Beacon was quite inappropriate. The humor was dry, extremely dry almost to the point of being insipid. Also I must question his use of the word stegophilist - to my knowledge (supported by my dictionary) no such word exists! As for literary style, there was none and furthermore the inteiided satirical content was nill. Most of the students I asked agreed with the fact that it should have been omitted from last week's issue.

Vol. 1-No. IV "EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AT WILKES" In addition to the rigors of academic study at Wilkes College, Wilkes College is a place to have fun. Extracurricular activities at Wilkes are at a premium. The Student Government Association is the primary force for providing a balanced social activity program. In cooperation with the Director of Student Activities and the Administration, the Student Government Association schedules Homecoming Weekend, Winter Weekend, Spring Weekend, Freshmen, Sophomore Junior and Senior Dinner Dances. Special events such as St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day parties are held at local hotels. Student Government coordinates recreational gaming areas on campus and a party pub area in the basement of the Student Union Building. Likewise, Student Government oversees the activities of the sixty plus clubs approved by Student Government. Clubs provide activities to meet the specific needs of the college student. . The Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series under the sponsorship of Student Government has become one of the outstanding cultural arts presentations among the Middle Atlantic Colleges. The Series Committee contracts to present a cultural program with personal educational encounters that are valued among an educational community. Students are invited to personally meet noted lecturers and performing arts personalities at dinners and receptions. The Student Governm et sponsored series has been considered by many to be the finest college offered cultural program in northeast Pennsylvania. Since 1972. the Series has offered the following lectures and performing arts programs to its student body and public free of charge. Lectur~s presented were General Moshe Dayan of Israel; Dr. Issac Asimov; P~rl Bailey; Senator Eugene J. McCarthy; Vance Ha~tke; Sam Ervin; Thomas Eagleton; Trial Lawyer F. Lee Bailey; Julian Bond; Star Trek Prod_ucer Gene Roddenberry; Energy Czar Stewart Udall and the voice of Bugs Bunny. Furthermor~. outstanding performances on the special series were given by Count Basie; Dizzy Gillespie; The Cincinnati Ballet; the Broadway Production "1776;"James Cunningham and the Acme Dan_ce Company; Vincent Price; Patrice Munsel; the Munich Boys Choir; Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band. § An active intramural program of softball, ba~ketball, flag football and volleyball is coordinated by the Department of Athletics for students who are not participating in varsity sports. § Annually, the Cue and Curtain Organization produces four plays ·for the student body. § ·complimenting the College's activity program, the Wilkes-Ban-e community ~oordinates a Cherry Blossom Festival, a Community Concert Senes, a YMCA-YWCA Program, a Jewish Community Center Program and a Rock Concert Series coordinated via le>Ql collel!'es. § Wilkes College is at the base of the Pocono Mountains. Within thirty minutes, students are in winter wonderland and local resorts provide plenty of winter sports fun. § The college administration places an emphsis on student involvement in stuaent activities. It is the profound belief of the college that students can develop their education exposure outside of the classroom; therefore, Wilkes College offers a free tuition scholarship (regardless of parental income) to any full-time student who is elected or appointed to the following student activity positions: Commuter Council President Student Government President Newspaper Editor Literary Magazine Editor Yearbook Editor Radio Station,Manal!'er Inter-Dormitory President The MCAT test will be giv~ on Saturday, October 1.

Rob lamented that due to the actions of several selfish cactus confiscators some varieties have become part of a list of endangered species. This has essentially prompted the use of special permits in order to collect the cacti. Rob's hobby has also inspired his creativity in relation to dish gardens and the very popular art of sand design. He mentioned that he has had experience with grafting cacti (joining two cacti together to form a more exotic creation) ·but he does not however consider it natural with respect to the growth of the plant. On the fourth floor level of the Stark Learning Center is a room which has most recently become a virtual cactus haven! In this greenhouse are all sorts of varieties, all fascinating to see, abounding under the care of Rob Wallace, a freshman · Biology major from Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Rob began tending these plants approximately five years ago through the encouragement of a neighbor. his growing interest in these spiny creatures provoked his involvement in the New Jersey Cactus and Succulent Society, a state organization with which Rob has been affiliated for four years, and also the American Cactus Societ . Rob's collection of 250 varieties hails from various different locations. Many distinguished members of the group were collected by the owner himself in western United States from the Sonorian Desert, famous also for its majestic saguaro cacti (of western movie fame) and from Rocky Mountain National Park. ..-., ~ ~ . - . . , .......... ......

In this respect, Rob i I When asked about slow growth which is so characteristic of the cactus, Rob reiterated a unique analogy. "It's like coin collecting, he said,"they will sit there and then almost all of a sudden they grow." Perhaps such a hobby requires a bit of patience, agreed, but it is nevertheless a relatively easy, attractive and ultimately reward ing one.

ONLY WITH AD! Porge /? ; '~ ~ I i l'~-- , ~ i i i i i i A Woody Allen doubl~ feature is very "dry" wa;t::~end a very rainy evening. How do you sensibly describe a crazy movie? In "Annie Hall," which stars Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, Allen describes, rather pessimistically, the life of Alvie Singer, from his youth when he lived in Brooklyn in a house under a roller coaster, to his experiences with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). After finding out that both characters are seeing an analyst, one ultimately gets the feeling that these are two psychos in a society which is comparable to a mental ward. Society indeed seems to be ~ driving each insane, insanity being a major component of Woody ~ Allen's humor. What is evident is that the hero, Alvie Singer, is ultimately a ~ flop. His success as a child, and later as.a lover and a comic seems limited, thus provoking his pessimism. Anni~ describes him as ~ being virtually incapable of emotion. ;11111 The plot reveals the relationship between the two, Alvie's ~ constant conflict with life and Annie's battle to make it as a singer. ~ _ The two agree to live together and there after the plot is basically a ~ contemporary and most common one, with the exception of ·Allen's humor. ~ The characters do indeed appear very shallow, but then the movie ~ was obviously not constructed upon any serious lines. In fact the only seriousness one can detect in "Annie Hall" is the effect ~ produced from that rather grim visage which is characteristically Woody Allen. Singer,it turns out, is indeed incapable of enjoying life. He ~ consistently repels the contemporary ideals of his "mate" in a constant obsession with politics, anti · Semitism and death. How ~ grim! Annie and Alvie do enjoy a short part of their relationship. Against the setting of a romantic New York atmosphere, the two ~ take frequent trips to the park, linger along the byways of the harbor at dusk and share some "different" experiences such as re-apprehending several lobsters in the kitchen of Alvie's apartment, and battling spiders which are comparable to Buicks in ~ the bathroom. The rest is all downhill. Allen's being cast as a lover in the movie is what really inspires ~ the hilarity. Picture that handsome,masculine character in your room some night girls! Wow! Yet Alvie himself seems to recognize ;11111 defeat when he refers to himself as "the balding, virile type." ~ · Thus somewhere in the midst of paranoia, comic political ~ criticism, anti-Semitism and psychological counseling lurks ~ romance. The message that comes across seems to designate ~ romance in the life of one such as Singer as virtually impossible. As ~ it happens the "love affair" does not succeed, producing a very ~ forlorn Alvie Singer. Alvie's !onliness, as he visits the places the pair used to go to, and reminisces the good times, might inspire in one a certain pity.

They are a self-supporting club during the offseason and had to pay their own entry fees as well as s upply their own transportation. Now, does anyone have any questions on how to sustain a winning tradition? The first person who gets caught humming " I'm Singing in the Rain" in the Wilkes football locker room gets beat about the head and shoulders with a used umbrella. The Colonels aren't very effective " mudders ". as witnessed by the disaster last Saturday in Williamsport. It was a contest that the Colonels should have and could have won. They thoroughly outplayed the Warriors but fell prey to a giant mistake, their own ineffectiveness inside the enemy 20, and injuries. The contest was played in a continuous downpour which hampered the quality of play, not to mention "hampering" Mary MacIntosh Cleaners. The uniforms of both teams were basic brown by halftime. The Wilkesmen got the first scoring opportunity of the game. They were driving well into Lycoming territory until they stalled at the 20 yard line. Faced with a fourth and two situation, Coach Schmidt had Dan Pisarcik a_ttefpt ta 35.t ya[.d f:~ld foalJ ~ImI ar ko a SI ut _wn _aced twh_o wee st agoT.h isarci n:iisset 1s one, oo. ey are gomg o kee tr ing that one until they get .1 Phi I Angl·ttl. 1 e 1a ter B"ll I SI avos k.I was intercepted on the Wilkes 29 and th W . h d th • f" t e arnors a e1r 1rs threat of the game.

They were faced with a third and three but after the penalty yardage was assessed, it was third and 8. A very big five yards! Another big penalty came when the Colonels defense was called for a personal foul. Lycoming had failed on a key third down conversion and would have had to punt from inside their own 15. The penalty gave them a first down and more importantly, took them out of the shadow of their own end zone. The Wilkesmen got one last chance to win the game in the fourth quarter when Joe Shurites fell on a loose ball at the Lycoming 30. But, symbolic of the Colonel fortunes all day, they again could not move it in for a score. Offensively, the Colonels out dust. Mike Aed and Dr. Earles were kept busy with Bill Sparks' broken hand, Rob Irwin 's shattered knuckle , and Mel Johnson's strained knee. Irwin will probably be red-shirted. These catastrophies put a major crimp in the Colonel style. The loss backs them up against the proverbial brick wall. Another MAC loss and they can bury their heart at wounded hand. This week they get a chance to regroup as they take on nonconference Bloomsburg State in a regionally televised contest. Bloomsburg doesn't appear to be the patsys they were last season when they stumbled to a 27 record under first year coach Ron Puhl.

Playing the entire game in a torrential downpour, the Blue and Gold battled to a 0--0 deadlock with the Huskies in first half action. It looked like the whole game would be a defensive struggle, but the Huskies broke the game wide open, scoring 17 minutes into the second half. The second score came when a Bloomsburg player scored on a fluke play. It appeared that he used his hands, which is illegal, but the official claimed it was a head shot. Coach Eaton refuted the call, but the official wouldn't revoke his decision. "Hard luck" hit the Colonels . for the third time when one of their fullbacks booted the ball to midfield on a defensive play and the ball stopped dead in a huge puddle. A Bloomsburg booter just happened to be at the right spot, and with the Colonels off guard, he managed to make the score 3--0. Bloomsburg added the final tally to their 4--0 victory on a penalty shot. Colonel goalie, Cliff Brautigan was called for illegally interfering with a couple Bloomsburg players, but he had really just slipped in the mud. Nevertheless, Cliff played an excellent game, making a total of 35 saves for the Blue and Gold. Coach Eaton was pleased with the performances of center fullback, Nicholas Pitsis; right fullback, Joe Degenhart and sweeper, Nick Golowich. Pitsis, only a freshman is playing the point of the Colonel "diamond defense," while Golowich is handling sweeper ' · duties at the back point.

Coach Davenport, showing signs of Douglas MacArthur in rain gear, didn't believe the tie. "I never saw a tie before in cross country. What an exciting year its been already, and we' ve only run three times." When the race had ended, the runners had more dirt on them than there is in a adult book store. The 4.9-mile course was wet and muddy due to the monsoon which has plagued the Wyoming Valey for over a week. Getting almost as consistent as a Reggie Jackson error, Danny Thomas agained claimed first place in t he race, giving him three victories in as many events. The former Wyoming Valley West standout ran t he course in 27: 14 to finish ahead of Bible's Jim Gorman's 27:54. Early in the race Wilkes was in great shape, with seven Colonels in the top nine places. But Wilkes veterans Dave Boris and Vince D'Amato were forced to leave with minor injuries, which dented the Colonel cause and led to the tie. Ed Eppler took third place for Wilkes with a clocking of 28:32, besting a 29:00 by Morav_ian's Jim Spies. Colonel Don Patrick finished fifth with 29:05, just ahead of Jeff Peterson of Baptist Bible with 29: 11. Dave Kerek, JeffDavis, and Dan Rittenhouse all added to t he Wilkes cause with fine times. Wilkes, which hosted Muhlenberg and Scranton yesterday, will travel to meet Albright, Delaware Valley, and Philadelphia Textile tomorrow.

The three students feel that most nursing students are upset that the program is not yet accredited. When asked of their parents' reaction, Student A said that they were " angry in a way and they had doubts that Wilkes would deliver what they promised." Student B stated her parents "have mixed emotions of anger and concern, angry because Wilkes keeps promising and concerned for my education." On the other hand, Student C's parents "realize that it is a new program and will be accredited in time." She did continue to say, however, that as long as she is accepted into a graduate school, her parents will be happy. · Jim Edwards their way" to obtaining that degree at the time of the NLN team visitation one year ago. Soter noted that although the college was aware of NLN requirements, it expected that the League would. c9nsider the then-present qualifications of the faculty as "significant progress." However, the League adherred strictly to the rules and did not grant accreditation. Soter al.so stressed that the college realizes that NLN must uphold standards, but expected it to be more flexible than it was. The provost pointed out that • "while we don't HAVE approval, it doesn 't mean we LACK it. There is clear evidence that the program is a quality program. " He referred to the fact that almost 90 percent of the first graduating class (1976) passed the Pennsylvania State Board exam, and stated that this is the most important thing to consider when evaluating the success and quality of the program. "For purposes of employment, this is the critical area, and it has indicated that we have a quality program." According to Soter the Nursing Department has hired five new faculty members, all of whom are fully credentialled, and he indicated that be "prepared to compare the credentials of the current faculty with any Nursing School in Pennsylvania." In addition, the department's , physical facilities have been declared by both NLN and the State Board to be "the best they've ever seen." Reapplication Planned The Wilkes College Theater is opening the 1!177-78 season with a presentation ofShakespeare ·s 'Twelfth Night."

The box office will open on October 10. The department plans to reapply to NLN and expects to be accredited in December, 1978 or the Spring of 1979. All graduates of the program, both present and future , reportedly will benefit from the accreditation. "In effect it is retroactive," said Soter. "All graduates will be covered by the accreditation when it .is officially awarded. '' He commented that although the department has "suffered a temporary setback, it has no effect on the quality of the program. " He also praised department chairperson Ruth McHenry for her diligence and dedication, , Wilma Hurst On the Cover (Murphy's Law Part II) "If all your profs can give the first semester test on the same day, they will."

Sleep Inducing ·; ·But Makes Worthy Attempt National surveys taken during the past few years reveal that an increasing number of high school students lack the necessary grammatical and rhetorical skills for effective writing. Upon entering college, such students find the adjustment to college academics even more profound than if they were moderately proficient in writing . . Recognizing the seriousness of this problem, Wilkes has an attempt to remedy the situation. by establishing a writing lab for its students. The lab has been in effect for three years and is under the supervision of Dr. Patricia Heaman. Dr. Heaman said that the lab is a service available to all students and offers advice and assistance to anyone with a writing problem. During its first year of operation, the writing lab operated on a tutorized basis. It is only during the last ..two years . that specialized equipment has been made available, mostly through a federal grant. The lab contains four booths equipped with audio-visual machines. Cassette tapes provide study lessons which specialize in many areas of grammar and rhetoric, and filmstrips which provide visual aid. The lab also contains a selection of handbooks · and workbooks, most of which were donated by ipstructors in the English Department. Dr. Heaman stated that approximately 100 students are currently using the lab facilities on weekly basis. The lab is part of the required coursework for any student taking English 100. a Other students may be recommended by an instructor or may visit the lab on a voluntary basis. Dr. Heaman noted that the lab may also be useful to those student writing job applications and applications for graduate school. Tutors in the writing lab are junior and senior English majors usually recommended by a member of the English department. This year's group includes: Nancy Kozemko, Carol Kosik, Sandra Richelmi, Glenri Bradley, Lynn Sare, Jerry Ross and Jacky Boyle. Jacky commented that wqrking in the lab can also be an asset to the tutors; working with the students in their problem areas, the tutors are able to recognize their own areas of weaknesses and improve upon them. The writing lab is open Monday through :I"hursday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., SG----------"- New Reps Introdueed The newly elected Student Government representatives were introduced to the body at Monday's night meeting. Dave Blumfield, class of 1980; Jack Mundy, class of· 1979; and Dave Evans, class of 1978, were elected as replacement representatives in an election turn out that Carl Holsberger, SG president, ter_. , med as "wasn't bad". Approximately 50 seniors, 25 juniors , and 40 sophomores voted. Under committee reports, the film committe_e reported that 349 people attended the showings of "The Longest · Yard": The committee collected $87.00 in admission fees and was pleased with the turnout. A change in the film schedule was also reported at the meeting. The film "The Front" ;will,._be shown tomorrow night in the 1::PA at 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. instead of October 1 as shown on the calendar. . The social events committee reported that the date for the winter weekend has been set for the Jan. 28-29 weekend. A movie will be scheduled for the weekend along with a mini-concert. Also planned is a volleyball tournament and a bingo game. Further plans will be announced later on in the semester. Only two fund requests were made at the meeting. The Chorus received $60 to send 4 people to participate in the Inter Collegiate Chorus Festival. This event will be held October. 13-15 at Lock Haven State College. The Hockey Club requested $1,500 to pay for expenses that will enable them to participate in the North Eastern .Pennsylvania Hockey ·League; Debate over the request was held to ten minutes and will resume .at next week's meeting. A SG executive council meeting will be held before the meeting to discuss this request. Last year SG granted the Hockey Club $1,100 for• expenses. It was reported that money and books may still be picked up ·at the SG office in Weckesser Hall from the used bookstore.

The writing lab is an excellent facility designed for students to help them better their writing skills. However, there remains one piece of advice; the writing lab is not a miracle worker. Its services are designed to assist students, but the rewards come only to those ·. students who are willing to work toward their goal. Reenie Corbett Faculty Piano Recital Preiented By Haberkom The Music · Department of Wilkes · College recently presented • Michael Haberkorn, assistant professor of music, in a faculty piano recital. Haberkorn opened the recital with Felix . Mandelssohn's "Variations Seriei.tses. " This set Of variations is · Mendelssohn's attemptto match the high calibre of Beethoven's variations. The program continued with Arnold Schonberg's · - " Three Piano Pieces," Opus 11. Alexander ·Scriabin's "Sonata in FSharp Minor" completed the first half of the recital. The second half of the recital began and ended with two masterpieces of Frederic Chopin. Haberkorn performed both the "Ballade in G Minor" and the "Ballade in E Minor." Both of .these ballades were inspired by poems cif the ·Polish writer, Adam Mickiewicz. · Nestled between the two ballades were two .pieces by the virtuoso pianist, Franz Liszt, ' \En Reve" and "Nuages Gris". They reveal · the · reserved, compact, ·• emotional side of Liszt's last years as a composer and conductor . . By Lynn Sare " Insomniacs Anonymous," the werewolf club of Wilkes College, was officially dissolved Friday night in the SUB. Club officials announced its discontinuation immediately after .the " Legs of Wilkes " contest at which the student chapter of the American Institute of Biological Sciences ( A.I.B.S.) discovered a new soporific. They revealed that leg-watching is . moresleep-inducingthan counting sheep. Henceforth, " Insomniacs Anonymous " will defer itself to the new " Leg-Watchers" club. The old " Leg-Watcher" club will continue to meet in the bushes in front of Sullivan Hall at dusk. However, the A.I.B.S. should be commended for a worthy attempt to bring students together for fun which doesn't require a beer mug. The leg show had many noteworthy features: it introduced the " Wilkes Walk" by a shapely, mini-skirted blonde representing the Human Services Committee who walked to first place ( or the head of the shoe ) ; it added a new program to the Wilkes schedule entitled, " Face the Kneetion," featuring Dr. John E. Erikson, first runner-up· it fashioned the unisex clog, th; most popular style modeled by Mario Appuzo, secondrunner-up. Appropriately ''Gypsy"-like, the music appealed to the auditory sense ; a unique panel of judges was introduced ( hopefully , their a cademic judgments are more consistent); various delectable m unc h ies scr u m p t u ously satiated preliminary partiers. Dr. Lester Turoczi, emcee of the contest, was given an opportunity to rehearse for class. Prior to the competition, in a plot to see if the master could swim without a script, Dr. Turoczi was asked to make some extemporaneous, anticipatory remarks. He remained true to form in commenting, " I'm relieved at not having to be a judge because I have 20-200 vision, although I could have come to " grips" with the situation. I'm happy to see that the AIBS have selected an appropriate biological theme to kick off their new edition of the Wilkes roster. " Although " Legs of Wilkes" will doubtfully be first on the list of Wilkes best entertainment offerings of the ·semester , it brought a nice crowd of people together for a jocose evening of legs and other hairy exhibitions.

" He poses the most anguished human question of .all : " Is it true the earth is all there is, and the earth does not last?" Novelist and translator as well, Kinnell is the author of many books. They include "What a Kingdom It Was" , "Body Rags" , "Black Light" , "The Book of Nightmares" , a translation of Rene Hardy 's novel "Bitter Victory", and translations of poems by Yvan Goll, "Lackawanna Elegy." Born in Rhode Island, in 1927, Kinnell attended Princeton University and the University of Rochester.

The college r adio station, WCLH has been undergoing a period of transition, with a new advisor, a new name, a new look, and most importantly, some new ideas for the future. The station will henceforth be known as the "WCLH Commun, ' tion Corporation" and its main goals will be, "to train students in broadcasting and communication arts," and, " to braodcast quality publicnoncommercial programming for the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania." Suprvising the reorganization is Thomas Beck, the station's new advisor, who was hired by the college in his capacity as a professional broadcaster and who is also teaching broadcasting this semester. All this is partly in preparation for some new equipment, including a new transmitter, which will arrive in the spring. The new transmitter will increase the station's power to 2,000 watts (it is now at 175 watts), and will enable it to reach a potential one million people. "Our signal will reach the New York border, the New Jersey border, as far west as · Williamsport, .and as far as Bethlehem in the est;'' Beck stated. Other new additions will arrive sooner, including some new furniture · and a · teletype machine from the Associated Press Wire Service supplying 24hour-a-day news service all year round.

But according to Beck, these . outside improvements are just the beginning. The most im,Sortant change will be in attitude and atmosphere, and )Srofessionalism in the key word. All station personnel, 25 old members and :W new ones, will undergo a training period to obtain broadcasting licenses or to have old ones renewed. Mr. Beck has put together an 80-page training manual for this purpose. Every member will be trained in every facet of station work and everyone must pass a test before being allowed to broadcast. Besides being an instrwnent of community service, the station will also be a learning center for the students who work there.

They come in all shapes and sizes with different moods a nd · temperments .. They pay taxes, raise families and come to wor k trying to share their expertise with you. They are human beings and have their good and bad moments. During your tenure at Wilkes College, you will be assigned an Academic Advisor to guide you. Generally, you will be assigned a faculty member within your area of study. If you are undecided, you will be assigned to an administrative advisor.If for some reason you don't have one of these gems, see the registrar for the appropriate form to acquire one.

Generally advisors spend more time in their office suffers from this problem, but it is perhaps the than the college requires. only one to have a chance to do something about it. The Widest Gap There Is The Nursing Department and its students seem to be at odds with one another, but this particular issue, involving the alleged misleading of students, may be merely the surface of another ~ !em. , lt is not our intent to judge who is right or 0:Wrong in the issue at hand, nor whether either ,, side actually is completely justified in its actions. Our taking such a position would only lead to recriminations, denials, and worst of all, no solution. Besides, each side can probably claim a certain amount of validity for its arguments. But we will not ignore this specific problem or its causes, which we believe to be the real issue·. The fact that a great deal of confusion, frustration, and ultimately, anger succeeded in surfacing indicates that there is. something obviously wrong in the department. I.t appears that there is a lack of meaningful, honest cbm- • munication between the department and its students. These students do not feel the department has been honest with th~m and that it does not want to take the time to fully explain the situation that has arisen. A number of nursing - stud<'nts have complained that they could never ·· get straight answers to their questions or that they did not feel they could ever approach someone in the department. i t is obviously this attitude that has ca(Jsed students to harbor feelings of discontent and disillusionment. Concert :Chairmen Offer Views To The Editor: As chairmen of · the Wilkes College Concert Committee, we feel a need to respond to the editorial which appeared in last week's issue of The Beacon. To begin, we recognize the fact that a concert is the type of event that will never satisfy every musical preferance on- campus. Every person has his own "monster" performer, With this in mind, the Concert Committee must find the performers who draw the largest amount of students within the Wilkes College -student body. Granted, to .. an overall audience, including: high school ·students and other non-campus individuals, a name such as Barry Manilow is considered "better" than l'he Outlaws, Dave Mason or Pure Prairie League. However, to the Wilkes College student bcJy, he is not. This is evidenced by these figures : on Oct. 11, 1975, Barry Manilow drew 561 Wilkes College students STAFF Editor in Chief . ..

Here she meets a host of other characters including, Winifred the Waddling Goose, and Thumper Rabbit. As the tale f)rogresses the animals prepare a birthday party for the Old Owl. The story ends with the owl, who is deeply touched . by being remembered, and the other animals gazing up at the iridescent stars glowing in the night sky. Thamsin has used the beautiful · artwork to decorate stationary and cards, and has written some poetry to accompany them. The illustrations require approximately four or more hours of work and are a mixture of watercolor and pen and ink . For a time Thamsin taught art at a free school, which has · an unstructured curriculum, to 200 children who ranged from nursery school to second grade levels. She lived for a time on the Hawaiian Island of Maui, on the California coast, and has travelled through New England and Canada. Thamsin ran the art campaign for Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign in New York state, particularly on Fire Island, and also worked for a time with Senator Hart of Michigan. her kitchen mixing the ingredients for a cake. In another scene, a group of starry-eyed animals stand in a wooded grove, gazing up in wonder at the stars. In still yet another scene, a brilliantly-colored jungle provides the background for another assembly of animal inhabitants. The talented artist responsible for the creatiow of these illustrations is Thamsin Bowes, a junior fine arts major. Thamsin ( whose name is the Scotch-Irish feminine form for Thomas, and is pronounced Tam-sin) hopes "through illustrating and perhaps writing, to create books that might entertain and educate children and adults." The colorful and detailed . illustrations are a mixture of Thamsin's own "ideas, imagina tion , fascination, and they combine realism with fantasy." Anthropormorphic is nature, their function is to spark the imagination. They are like the creatures brought to life in Beatrix Potters', "Peter Rabbit" and Maurice Sendaks' "Juniper Tree." -e;:==========~==~j ~ Added Flavoring The Thamsm's interest and im. pro\'._ement with art began a long time ago. After developing a childhood interest in art, which was furthered at the Madiera Boarding School near Washington, D.C., she studied at other art schools including Simon 's Rock, Massachusetts and Franconia College in northwestern New Hampshire. While in New Hampshire, she began writing and illustrating 1'The Stargazers." Feature Page ~=========~~=~ Thamsin Bowes "I seek to integrate whatever learning I am exposed to in order to create not only a useful, but rewarding lifestyle." Her thoughts on art are similar. Thamsin believes that "for one to be an artist there should be an appreciation-respect and contact with all fields of art. To become adept in one field is fine, but one · must not limitthe self in terms of isolation within that subject, but develop an awareness of subjects." Thamsin is considering working with animation in films in the future. She enjoys working with children because "their minds are open to learning." Thamsin feels that art programs in the elementary schools should be made better. "Art is an excellent outlet," she reflected, "When a child looks at something, he does so with more sensitivity and awareness." Thamsin is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie Conyngham. At present she lives with her husband Malcolm in a brick farmhouse in Lehman. Mary Stencavage Student Voices Concern Over •rreemania' To The Editor: I am presently a senior at Wilkes. and never before in my three years here nor ever in my life have I noticed such madness as the "treemania" that now grips the campus. During the last week, I have noticed the following examples of "treemania. " 1. Daniel Miklander's letter to the Beacon. 2. A student sitting in a tree reading a book. 3. Another student in a tree making a campaign speech. He was running for President, the tree was his vice presidential running mate, a nearby bush was. · running for treasurer and a tree stump was running for secretary. 4. Numerous signs promoting the "Tree Club." 5. Students talking to trees about politics and sports. £. Students talking about"trees "oaks are nice but I wouldn't let one marry my sister" 7. A student conducting a tour of the tree jail - in the courtyard of Stark. The trees that have She describes her personal philosophy as a ''strong belief in_ the pursuit of learning. There is no limit to the .dimensions of "high consciousness" - one's awareness of reality," she said. fences around them are actually in jail for various offenses. 8. A "For Rent" sign on a tree. 9. Students smoking magnola leaves and the price of an ounce of magnola reaching fortydollars. , 10. Finally, I saw a student hugging a tree and discussing future marriage plans - he wanted to have saplings of his very own. I am not sure what started treemania but I wonder if it will spread throughout the country. Thanks , Chris Daryl THE RING MAN IS COMING Thursday & Friday September 29 & 30 10 A.M. - 3 P.M. Wilkes College Bookstore DISCOVER ILFORD BLACK & WHITE AT Mind Designs~' By Pam Long . -~- "' Really, what some people ·won't do for money! Ne~ertheless, it seems greed might just be getting another chance m this world, and "Smokey and the Bandit" is one hilarious illustration! . The s tory revolves .around two very cunning opportunists whose antics are or'side-splitting origin. Together the notorious Bandit <Burt Reynolds) and his sidekick Cleotus (Jerry Reed) proceed on a mission to ultimately "do what they say can't be done." The pair become engaged in a bootlegging scheme to haul 400 cases of beer in a nticipation of the amiable sum of $80,000 "for glory, for fun .. •.mostly for fun and for the money." (Of course !. ) Thus the Bandit, in a suped-up Trans Am, and Cleotus in an elaborat~ly decorated 18-wheeler accompanied by one droopy-eyed Bassett (alias "Fred"), proceed and the fun begins. . : . Not too far ahead Bandit encounters a bnde abandomng a wedding (Sally Field). She describes her occupation as a "professi?nal dancer" ( much as Bandit designates his as "show off') and acqmred the nickname "Frog," compliments of the Bandit. The two ultimately become a team. Farther on behind the heroes, in hot pursuit lurks a man whose ultimate lot in life ( or so "he" thinks) is to represent the ep~t~me of justice. Ironically enough the same turns out to be a Texas sheriff and pompous buffoon, Beaufort T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) . He appears as a colossal representation of the stereotyped southern _law man. It seems the Frog, in a display of "pure old fashioned communism" has deserted .Justice's son's wedding, and the man wants some answers indeed ! All in all, Bandit cruises along at 110 miles per hour with Cleotus at the back door and an enraged smoke:x bear taking up the rear ! The pursuit encompasses a wide variety o( circums~nces, drops in on one county mounty in the process of a 10-100 (which shall not here be described! ) and ultimately encourages countless numbers of Texas bubble-gum machines to end up in the drink, in what Beaufort T. describes as "a complete lack of respect for the law." The episode presents a marvelous exhibition of untiring determination on the part of both the pursuer as well as the "pursuee." It also reveals the sheriffs imcompetence ·in apprehending his suspe~ts when Smokey and the Bandit come face to face in a restaur~nt_(ahas "choke and puke") . Beaufort T., ignorant of the fact that he is mdeed conversing with the culprit, literally "showers" ~im w!th p~esent opinions of his latest pursuit. Bandit and Cleotus still persist with the assistance of various good buddies along the way, the Frog and a serenade of banjo pickin' tunes by Jerry Reed. A moment of dismay befalls the team when a chopper takes to the air, but in the rig, Cleotus (and Fred !) succeed in bringin' 'e~ on back. They are hailed by a great reception along with several tnumphant remarks from the mascot ! The final finds the befuddled Beaufort T. Justice "still" in pursuit of the hero, ultimately revealing that a law man's work, or at least "this" ones, is indeed never done! 104 ! Best Buys In Town!!

The MAC Northern Division is one of the finest smallcollege leagues in the country in the opinion of many, with the champion almost certain to ~et a bid for the national platoffs. ALBRIGIIT - The Lions roared to the division crown for the second straight time last season with an unblemished 6-0 mark. They will definitely be the team to beat again this fall. They are returning all but nine lettermen from last year's squad, including six All-MAC performers. The Lions are currently 2-0, using victories over Franklin & Marshall and Lycoming to get out of the starting blocks on schedule. They will be tough to replace as champions. _ LYCOMING - Tne Williamsport school, who are the Colonel opponents this Saturday, have returned 17 of 22 starters. Last season they were the surprise of the MAC, registering an 8-1 record and ranking second in the nation in total defense and first against the rush. Returnees include one All-American and six other All-MAC standouts. Their offense is a big problem as their 1-1 record shows . . ·· They were victorious in the opener against Dickenson but dropped a 16~ decision to Albright last week to put a giant dent in their title hopes. The Warrior defense, however, can keep them close and they are not out of the title picture yet. JUNIATA -The Indians were only three points away from an undefeated season until they rode into Wilkes-Barre last season and were beaten by the Colonels in a TV game. They are currently 0-2 with losses to Indiana State and Westminister. Both are strong teams, however, and the real test will come when they play Albright on Saturday. They have lost some key offensive people including an AllMAC quarterback and have only scored 7 points thus far into the season. Both losses are non-conference, but the Indians better get their offensive act together if they expect to be a factor in the title chase. SUSQUEHANNA - The Crusaders always seem to be a year away. They have some quality players who have returned this season but seem to lack the leadership necessary for a big winner. They beat Johns Hopkins in the opener last week, 20-12. But don't look for them to play any role other than the spoiler. UPSALA - The Vikings have come a long way during the last few years and posted a 6-3 record last season, led by the nations 11th ranked defense. Despite the return of 29 lettermen, they are counting on too many young players. Like Lycoming, the offense isn't much to write home about, but the defense will keep them close. DELAWARE VALLEY - Hapless is the only word to describe the Aggies. As football players, they make pretty good farmers. They hav e 26 returning lettermen back but that is probably more of a liability than an asset. They dig in this week ·a·g ainst Moravian and their 18 game losing streak isn't in much jeopardy. Colonelettes Prepare For Saturday's Opener Coach Gay Meyers ' field hockey team gained some valuable game experience last week winning two exhibition matches. With ten freshmen among the twenty girls on this year's roster, experience is the only missing ingredient. The girls looked good in their 7-0 win over the alumni and 3-1 decision over the Wyoming Valley Hockey Club. More important than the score, however, is the fact that every member of the team played in these matches. Coach Meyers is still working to complete a starting line-up as Marie Elko and Julie Kerrick are vying for the attack spot still open. . . Monica Krammer and Mary Jo Frail have looked good and are expected to do a good job for the team. Jean Johnson will once again provide the center point in the defense, a nd goalie Lee Ann Earl has been sharp in the exhibitions. It appears that she has rec-evered from her operation, but Mrs. Meyers stressed that knee operations are tricky and time will have to tell. The major problems that will hinder the team this season are depth and scheduling. With only 20 girls out for the team there is not enough depth and injuries will really hurt. The schedule is not in the Colonels' favor either. The team must play four of its hardest opponents early in the season. These four are Albright, Kutztown , Lafayette, and Bloomsburg. Lafayette has a very strong tea m and Bloomsburg is enjoying the luxury of 17 returning .letterwomen. The one scheduling factor that is beneficial is that the final six matches of the season are at home. The final match of the season will be tough as a very strong Bucknell team comes to town. The team is ve ry young, so the tough matches at the beginning will be an exceptionally difficult test. By the· end uf the season, • though, the team should be playing good hockey.

The Colonels defeated King's, 15-50, last Saturday at Ralston Field. It was the first regularly scheduled men's contest between the two city schools in over 25 years, although the Wilkes basketball team did play King's in a tournament a few years back, and the Colonel and Monarch women's team,s have met each other in Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intergollegiate Athletic Association action. Freshmen sensations Danny Thomas and Ed Eppler ran together throughout the race and both finished first with a time of 29 :01 on the 4.9 mile course. Enroute to the victory, Wilkes captured the first nine places. Davenport stated that Vince D'Amato, third place, 29 :48, and Don Patrick, fourth place, 30: 10, "were great surprises, and with their success Wilkes can now look forward to big and better things." Finishing behind those four Colonels, were Dave Kerek 30: 10 ; Jeff Davis 30:22; Roger Davis 31:18; Dan Rittenhouse 31:40 and Pete Kowalchick 31: 54.

Eddie White IM F oothall Preview· Intramural football season is already upon us, and hQpefully this year won't be quite as boring as last season was. Scanning over our initial pre-season scouting reports Which come direct from Jimmy the Greek, we are already able to see that a few teams have emerged as favorites. In the Eastern Division, defending champion "The New Riders"are back, and boasting a renowned defensive line made up of "Mean Joe" Mullarkey, "Bubba" Larioni, and Ken " Too Tall" Gompertz. These three have caused so much confusion in the pl:l_st three years that they have earned the title of " The NotSo Fearsome Threesome." In the defensive backfield for the Riders, Bill Polaha will o'nce again be roaming the weeds at. free .safety. Polaha became notorious last year for a vicious type of tackle that he calls "the one hit bong." On offense, Andy Kresky will once again be throwing passes and forgetting plays. The New Riders are picked first in the East ahead cif such worthy opponents as the Chickenhawks and STX II. In the West, Miner Hall should sweep easily through the regular season. Assistant coach John Forte is pleased with the .progress of his troops and offimistically reports that "We're small, but we're slow." Competition for Miner could possibly come from either the "Studs Inc." or the Smegmas. The former is under the · direction of (you guessed it) Chip (Sonny) Pufko, who reports that .his strong points this year will be defensive tackle Rick "The Enforcer " Caro, and last season's winner of . the Sportsmanship Award, · free safety Barry Zoppo. Zoppo was the lone sophomore last season to make the All-Il)tramural Football squad. Miner and the Studs will probably battle it out for first and third place, while the Smegmas will almost certainly finish second. · · GRID BITS:Ai1y girls wishing to try out as a cneerleader for this spring's Dennis Phelps Fan Club softball team should contact this year's "tri-captains," Debby Fortini, Nancy Enderien, or Karen Prigge ...

Wilkes had a slow start and found themselves at a 3-0 deficit at the end of the first half. Two All-Conference hooters, Terry Parker and Jim Fleming were responsible for all the damage, scoring two goals apiece. Junior co-captain, Mario Apuzzo was the only Colonel to score, hitting the nets mid-way through the second period. Coach " Chip" Eaton was pleased with the performances of sophomore fullback, Nick Golowich, senior halfback, Steve Kinback and junior reserve forward, Mark Toole. Yearling, Cliff "Kip" Brautigan did a fine job as goalkeeper, making a total of 16 saves. The Blue and Gold had some bright spots and stimulated many offensive threats, but were only able to score once out of 26 goal shots. Upsala made four of 21 tallies count. Coach Eaton said, "We recognized our weaknesses and will be working very hard in practice this week, to try and rectify our mistakes before meeting Bloomsburg this Saturday.'' Booters Bluffs: The Colonel hooters are 0-1 after their first encounter and will try to even the count this Saturday when they travel -to meet the Huskies of Bloomsburg State. It won't be easy for the Blue and Gold since the Huskies are very highly rated this year and won a grueling 4-3 decision over the Colonels last year . . . Bob Gaetano MARIO - Apuzzo got the ball rolling last week, scoring the Colonels only goal in a 4-1 defeat in the hands (feet?) of the Vikings. -.,fabridancl ~ AU YOUR S£WIIIG NEEDS Gateway Sh~pplng Center Kingston, Pa. 18104 288-113' Midway Shopping Center Wyoming, Pa., 18644 693·1330 Men's and Women's Hair Sty ling YOUR FATHERS MUSTACHE PENN PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER Wilkes Barre Pa.

Commencement Format To Include 3 .Speakers This . year's Commencement ceremonies will feature three speakers from within the College, rather than a "big name" speaker as featured in prior years. Each speech will be only five to eight minutes long. Representing the College trustees will be Atty. Joseph J . Savitz, chairman of the board and alumnus of the College. Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the Biology Department and a 25year member of the College faculty, will represent the faculty. Margaret Walczyk, an accounting · major from Endicott, New York will represent the graduating class. According to President Robert Capin, the idea, which was his own, "might well be the beginning of a tradition." He added that a reassessment of the format will be made after the Commencement. Both President Capin and Dean George Ralston believe that a more appropriate and · meaningful message could be delivered by members of the College. Both also expressed .the belief that there is a lot of talent within the College. In the words of Dean Ralston , " We have acres of diamonds. " · Dean Ralston stated that the trend in higher education is along these lines. Because of the nature of the affair, he believes, any good speech is often lost. Unless an opportunity· arises to obtain a very, very significant person. for future Commencement ceremonies, Ralston also sees this new format continuing. As part of the Commencement ceremonies on May 22, Mrs. Ann Liva, a member of the Music Department since 1970, will receive the award of Professor Emeritus. Having developed a nation-wide reputation for piano instruction, Mrs. Liva will retire this year. ·SG Disapproves Of Elections Run By Circle 'K At its Monday meeting, Student Government expressed disapproval of the way Circle K has handled this year's elections.

The teacher evaluation forms have not yet been sent out. They should be mailed by the end of the week, according to SG President Carl Holsberger. Two hundred dollars was granted to a group of biology students to attend a conference. The Accounting Club received $18. 75 to purchase a bond to be presented to the graduating accounting student with the highest cumulative average. �:: Wilkes Forensics Wins : Quarter Finalists Trophy Biology Road Rally :ii Set _F or Sunday,May 1 OI ~ ~ ~ t- :::: o- 00 ... .:: : Word has just been received that the Wilkes Debate Union's Forensic Unit has won a Quarter Finalists trophy · in the National Individual Speech Events Cassette Tape Tourname'nt hosted by Stetson University, Deland, Florida.

Work Study Replenished July 1 " People were worrying m~ch too earlier in the year," replied Richard Raspen , head <;>f - financial aid, when asked why the work study money has · been dwindling for the past few months. "There was a heavy usage of work study fro':11 JunE: to February. If it had contmued hke that the program would have been out of money completely." · But the program is not out of money completely and the present problem is being solved by a plea to each department to cut down on the usage of work study people and a plea . to the student to cut down on his or her work hours.

According to Raspen, work-study serves two purposes : to provide students with funds and to fulfill the work needs in different departments. Each student in the program is given a maximwn amount of dollars they may earn for the year at $2.00 per hour. They are asked not to exceed 15 hours of work per week. The amount of money fr_om the Federal government coming in in July is expected to match last year's amount but if it does not, different procedures would be taken for the program. Less students would be accepted to the program, those demonstrating the most need for financial aid coming first. Also each participant would -be given less hours.

The only thing that kept the fabric of SG from ripping was O'Brien's skill at handling the gavel during a meeting. While she was not afraid to have opposing opinions voiced, she also did not allow the members to split into disinterested, isolated groups just because of a disagreement on one issue. The major improvements to the college which were brought about, either partly or completely, by SG included: the placing of the bulletin board in the Common's area, a fairly successful film series, and a successful homecoming. The innovative winter weekend which brought the celebration back to the campus was highly successful. Most of the credit for that belongs to Rosetta Chiavacci and Norm Verhoog. The most popular campus improvement, one that is greatly advantageous to the students, is the library's new five cent copier. Surprisingly, it was over that issue that SG had to fight the hardest. Without that strong sponsorship by SG, it is doubtful we would have a five cent copier. Probably the most important accomplishments are the improvements to SG itself. Meetings were much more or-· derly than in past years. This is in large part because of the efforts of SG members to skill themselves in parliamentary procedure. With the_help of Dr. Bradford Kinney of the English Department, SG took on the appearance of an organized governmental body. · The new constitution, car-efully rewritten and revised, was The PhilQsophy Club of Wilkes ways of overcoming the negative recently ratified by the student College will sponsor an inbody.

Also concerning the funds, SG waited until the last six weeks of this semester before it realized it might be in financial trouble. A more careful watch on the treasury stability should be imposed by ·next year's officers. The final improvement necessary to SG is an end to the apparent disinterest of some ·of its own members, several who are returning next year. These are the people, because of apathy ·or fear, who never voiced a single opinion all year. Because of them, SG did not achieve all it possibly could have achieved. Their silence is the fault of both the students, for electing them, and of SG, for allowing them to be silent. The faith placed in them by those who elected them obligates those members to do more than -vote. They must become actively involved in the decision making process.

Wilkes met King 's College at the latter's home. field last week and . made history by opening a new women's sport at the college. The girls were not very lucky in their first outing , however, as they were defeated, 15-7, by the lady Monarchs. The fast ball pitching of much experienced Gemma Mehalchick was too much for the Colonelettes to handle. Big hitters for the Blue and Gold in this game were junior Karen Olney who went two for three, both singles; freshman Sue Freda who had three singles for three times at bat ; and sophomore Debbie Yedlock who went two for four with a single . and a double. When Wilkes took to the field for the first time ever, the girls were a little tight and nervous. After the first inning , however, they got down to playing good ball. Coach Gay Meyers commented, " I knew we would make some fielding errors because we hadn't had any game experience and King's had already played three games. I had counted on more hitting, but I think it will get better with eacti game." In the secon~ ga_!Ile of history, Complete Line of Photo Supplies And Equipment 823-6177 36 W.

This was the first horn(;) game for the Wilkes women and, just like they do in the " big leagues", President Capin was on hand to throw out the first ball. Although the female Colonels lost this game, 10-5, they looked much better than they had against King's. Big bats during this contest were Anita Meehan, going three for four with three singles ; Jackie Weindl, four for three, both singles ; and Debbie Yedlock , two for two, bo th singles. Junior Nancy VanKuren deserves much credit for pitching as well as she did in both of these games. Na!}cy was going to be used in relief at first, but injuries to other pitchers forced her to start the games. (from page 8) Hoynak trailed at 167 ( 8Ml2) . The key to the Colonel tournament hopes now appears to be success in the second half of their dual schedule. They have some very tough matches lying ahead. Two. of the matches are against teams that finished in the top five in the MAC 's. Tomorrow is a triangular with Albright and Juniata while Monday brings a dual matchup with Susquehanna. On Thursday, the duffers finish their regular season · with a triangular match with Lebanon Valley and Scranton, only the Colonels second home match of the year. After the schedule is played out, the selection committee goes to work. If the Colonels can stay on the victory road, an 11-1 record with a second place finish in the MAC's will be hard to deny. Selection to the NCAA qualifying tourney will be almost assured. Then the Colonels' second season will begin. All of this, providing they keep winning.

Jim credits much of his success to pitching Coach Bob Duliba. "Ach," a former major leaguer . himself, h~s helped make the transition from thrower to pitcher. His coaching and advice has helped J im cut down on his walks, and still enables him to thrgw his overpowering fast ball for strikeouts. Jim has "thoroughly enjoyed" his fo ur years at Wilkes. He is best of friends with all his teammates, and as co-captain, has helped many of the seven freshmen on the team this year. He serves as the team funny man, and can take the needle fr:om his teammates, as well as give it. Coach Gene Domzalski will be sorry to see the big lefty leave. His current career record of 15-3 has been a big factor in the Colonels' record of 61-19 over the last four years. His service to the ball club has been greatly appreciated, and each and every player who ever went on the field with him, and many people in the college and community wish him the best, and hope to see him the majors in the future.

Xhe- ... co -.......... , ,0 "l\c:rncls~ by jeff acornley I found it interesting to read Lou Rauscher's column last Sunday in the Sunday Independent. But instead of any further mud slinging, let's stop clouding the issue and present the real issues that are at stake. 1 ) The real issue is not whether the act in question was actually committed, but rather whether there is documented proof ·of the incident. The role of the columnist is tha t of presenting facts , not glorified .gossip. If there is proof of the incident, the men in question would have been arrested. I will not print in my column any rumors, especially when the consequences of a criminal offense are involved. I want documented facts . 2 ) The issue of anonymity is also of much importance here. Mr. Rauscher contradicts himself right in his own colunn. In one breath he states that he won't "betray a confidence by identifying 'our source'_" but in his next breatr criticizes that " it's the easiest thing in th_e world in this profession to hide behind a cloak of anonymity. " The hypocrisy is difficult to understand. 3 ) The hypocrisy continues in this next issue. The story that was run in the Independent a few weeks ago concerning the resignation of Wilkes assistant basketball .coach Jim Zardecki had a headline of ZARDECKI QUITS WILKES. Now in last week's column' Mr. Rauscher is changing horses in midstream by stating that "as far as we know,·zardecki is still going to leave Wilkes. " There is quite a big difference. between those two statements. Obviously the Independent . checked the college payroll after they went to print and found that Mr. Zardecki is still on the Wilkes s.taff. · 4) I feel perhaps the analogy 9f David and Goliath is somehow appropriate. If The Beacon•is as insignificant as Mr. Rauscher seems to believe, why did Columbia Scholastic Press award us national first place honors_for two years running? And more importantly, why is a large metropolitan newspaper with a circulation of 68,000 so worried about a school paper with an internal circulation of only 2,000? If our reporting isas superficial as Mr. Rauscher claims, why has he spent four weeks of his column space refuting us? These are the· real issues. And I defy Mr. Rauscher to stop smoke-screening them and answer the questions~ Well, Lou, I'm going on vacation for the summer. See you next year.

An athlete is one who gives of himself unselfishly to his teammates . and uses his talents in the best way possible. In the opinion of the Wilkes College community, Don McDermott and Mary Jo Fra il best exemplified this ideal during the past academic year, while competing in varsity athletics· at Wilkes. Balloting among 30 of the most respected sports analys ts on the campus was conducted last week and it produced landslide victories for both McDermott and Frail. Coaches, writers , and administrators alike were almost unanimous in their approval. · Ma ry Jo Frail, a freshman from Wilkes-Barre, strutted onto the campus this fall a nd..,,trutted right into the hearts of Colonel sports fa n:, . Her fiery spirit and pixy smile has made her a well known figure · on campus. If not for a broken finger, she would have undoubtedly garnered three varsity letters in her initial year and probably more if . they had let her. Hockey was the first field of endeavor for the sparky freshman. _ Under the tutelege of Gay Meyers , Mary Jo took over the right wing slot and with dazzling stickwork, received Honorable Mention to the Susuqehanna Field Hockey Association Team. As the playmaker guard on the Colonelette basketball team, she racked up 226 points for an average of 10.7 per game. She topped off the season by being named to -the NPWIAA second team All-Star squad. . And finally she was all set to begin the softball season as the Colonelette starting pitcher before a broken finger shelved her for the year . Mary J o was also a member of the championship IM volleyball team . J erry Ann Smith finished second in the voting with Sharon Wilkes, J oanne Englot, Dotty Martin, and Cindy" Glawe all bunched closely fo r the third s lot. Don McDermott, unlike Frail, has been around Wilkes athletics for quite a while. The voters were impressed with Don's leadership ability as well as his athletic prowess. The senior from West Pittston was co-captain of two vars ity sports this year. Don was the bigges t offens ive weapon for coach Rollie Schmidt's · grid squad last fa ll. His bionic toe kept ma ny opponents in the hole and his defensive play from the outside linebacker slot helped keep them there. He was voted ·the MAC "Punter of the Year." Don is also a member of the fa med " Lumber Company" in-the spr ing. Playing a mean first base and swinging a potent and powerful bat, he is a key player in Gene Domzalski's drive to the MAC title and possibly beyond.

His excellent rounds as the Colonel leader were good enough to nail down third place, just 4 shots off the medalist pace. Joe Skladany was the Wilkes runner-up, firing a 156 80-76 ). John Petrosky followed closely with a 158 (79-79 ) and Bryan Kaptain Ken (continued on page 7) With this being the last Beacon of the current school year, we will have to wrap up our coverage of the Wilkes baseball team in one a rticle. But, at"tlus point the MAC North West Conference _crown has not yet been decided , and the Colonels still have seven regular season contests left. . First of all , the Colonels can probably win the MAC crown outright by sweeping a doubleheader at Juniata this Saturday". Their current conference record is 5-1 while their overall record is 13-2. A sweep against Juniata would give the Colonels a 7-1 final MAC record , and they could do no worse than tie for the championship. However , the feeling in some corners is that if the Colonels continue their winning ways, they will make the return trip to the NCAA Mid East Regionals, even if they don't win the MAC. If the Colonels should lose a doubleheader to Junita, by winning their other five games , they could still finish with a season record of \8-4. Last year they were invited to regionals. with a 17-5 record so a good record coupled with the success of last'" year's team would probably earn them another shot at the World Series. Yesterday the Colonels were in Scranton for a doubleheader against the Royals. On Saturday they will play the big doubleheader against Juniata, Next week, they'll play their final home game against Kutztown on Tuesday , before finishing up on the road against Upsala and Scranton ( for their fifth game of the year with the Royals) . Since the last Beacon, the Colonels have gone 5-1. They swept a conference doubleheader from Albright last Thursday by 16-2 and 8-0 scores. Lef. thanders Andy Kresky and Jim Stehle each picked up a win, as the "Lumber Company" e~ploded again. Ken Suchoski had a home run in each game, while Mike Supczenski, George Kavulich , Don McDermott and Lou Elefante each also hit a home run. Many of the regulars sat out Friday's Allentown game as the Colonels won 10-1 behind the two hit pitching of Dan Pisarcik. The Ursinus game on Monday was a laugher for the Qolonels as they won 22-1. Manny Evans picked up his fourth win with Steve Grasley hur'ling four innings in relief. Terry Schoen and Bill Hockenbury each hit a grand slam, while Bill Pola ha had a solo home rum. The Colonels split a doubleheader with Delawa re Valley on Tuesday. In the first game they got their lowest run output in seven games while losing 6-3 to break an _eleven gam e winning streak. They came ba ck behind Jim Stehle to win the second 'game 114. Schoen hit his second grand slam in as many days to -support Stehle. Jim didn't allow any hits , but was lifted in the last inning because of the bad weather and the lµgh number of pitches he had thrown to protect his arm. So, the Colonels have run their record to 13-2. If they can maintain their winning ways, they have an excellent shot at the World Series again. If they should get there and the pitching and hitting continue, and the defense tightens up a little more, who knows wha t might happen.

Lloyd is an independent photographer, multi-media producer, and film director. He has been noted as an innovator in multi-media communications theory, technology, and practice. KINEMATRIX is a unique experience in which the photographs become life, emotions and tears. The experience is of the every-day made exciting, as the audience becomes part of the experience. Through the media of projected light and sound, the viewer becomes enveloped in what Lloyd cal.ls ''the infinite variety of man's experience." · KINEMATRIX is a selfcontained multiscreen show of experimental color photography. .A. new digital-analog electronic dissolve programmer, engineered to Lloyd's design, and the only device of its If.ind creates movie-like dissolving images for this multicmedia technique.

The truth is that few great feats are ·accomplished without a group effort. This year by either accident or mistake The Beacon regrets not adequately thanking the countless amount of people that worked to make the annual fund-raising campaign its usual success. For -~ome reason feats like this are brushed over in the day to day hassle of life. It should be remembered without the work of this group of people many students would be without the scholar,ship aid they need to continue their stay at Wilkes. The annual campaign doesn't,as manystudents - believe, get stuffed in someone's pocket, but goes to benefit . the students at Wilkes. Walk-a-thons, fund-drives , and other constructive activities should be on every list of priorities , but unfortunately the dedicated and the diligent often get passed over. The Beacon thanks all those fund-raising campaign workers and all the people that made the 1977 March of Dimes Walk=a-thon a reality.

Remember Danny and Marlo Thomas, Henry and Jane Fonda,- Vincent and Liza ·Minelli? The Wilkes College theater also boats a father-daughter combination in the team of Howard and Claire Ennis. Mr. Ennis· ( quite well-known as "Skinny" according to his daughter), was . the leading man in many Wilkes comedy productions in the theater of the 1950s. "If he wasn't in a production, he was working in it in some way," said Claire. Claire is also spending a great deal of time backstage at 'the th~ater. She's serving as costume mistress for the upcoming productions of Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas, ''Trial By Jury" and "H.M.S. Pinafore." "I was very reluctant to get involved at first, " she admitted, "because the work takes up a .good deal of time.In fact, I didn't start until the end of my freshman year." Claire's roomate was involved in last year's production of "Sing Out Sweet Land" (sponsored by the 'wnkes-Barre Kiwanis), and before Claire knew it, so was she. "I told my roommate I wanted to get involved in either costumes or make-up," said Claire. "She pushed me over and introduced . me to Murray Popky. He put me to work and I've been there ever since." Claire had worked in costuming, wjth the stage crew and in' the box office before being appointed costume_mistress for the two-show production. With a cast of 40 in each operetta, requiring 80 costumes, the sophomore education major wasn't exaggerating when she said that being costume mistress · is "a lot of work." · In "Pinafore" alone, there are 19 aunts, cousins and sisters, 10 spectators and the major characters. For "Trial" dresses for an 1860s wedding party will be needed. Although the wedding gown itself has been donated, the pastel gowns for the bridesmaids must be made.

Recital Corner SPRING FEVER: The first signs usually strike in temperatures of·75 degrees or over in bright sun. Soon you \\'.ill see things begin to pop out such as frisbees, softballs, tennis raquet.s, and suntan lotion. Victims of this torturous disease are prone to skipping classes and flocking to the roofs of building, lawns of yards, and especially the river common. Once there they experience the strangest behavior and begin to take off their clothes. It's usually a shoe or sock or rolling up a pant leg or two, bJit then quickly spreads to shirts and sometimes ends with the victim running around in a bathing suit or gym shorts. Affected persons often sit and look at trees and flowers. The best way to treat these people is ·to lock them up inside a dark room. When you are near them put on a fur coat and comment on how chilly the weather has been lately. If you see any admiring the wonders of nature, explain how you think chopping down all the trees on campus and· paving the grounds for parking would be a good idea. SENIORITIS: This serious sickness takes hold about three quarters through the last semester. Students graduatingfinally realize that they will be leaving the "Wilkes Wroost" soon and begin to experience strange behavior. They develop an attitude of "what the heck, it's my last semester and I'll be out of this place soori." They realize that their grades are already sent to graduate schools. They begin to cut classes. They often spend a lot of time in the Commons. They are most often heard saying such things as: "I think I'll carve my name in this booth in the library so Wilkes will remember me:" Or "I think I'll pull a stunt at graduation and wear white socks and sandals under my black robe." Or "I think I'll take a :year off and be a bum before 'I get a job or go back to school." Or "Nobody is going to fail a last semester senior." The best way to combat this sickness is to sit down and realize all the work you have to do such as that paper, those job applications, running around getting that sheet signed, and attending those- meetings with Dean Ralston. The ultimate cure is going down to the registrar and having her tell you that you still need another gym class and you can't graduate until next year. EXAMA: This usually begins to have its first symptoms around the first week of May. Students begin to have nervous breakdowns. They take numerous trips to the library. The drug stores begin stocking up on No-Doze. Then about the middle of the week you begin to have serious "cram(p)s" in your mind. You begin to lose sleep. Your fingers get weak especially in your writing hand. This disease is also found in the professor rank. Their symptoms are slightly different in that they must take the No-Doze to combat the sleep which is caused by reading excessive amounts of papers. The best cure for this is to register for classes that don't have finals such as volleyball, student teaching, and The Beacon story writing. --0~ JOKE OF THE WEEK: Finding a job after graduation.

Ea'ch dormitory student has three votes in both the male and female categories. The award goes to the student . who best exemplifies dorm living at Wilkes College. · Under committee reports , Sheree Kessler of the food committee reported that from the , recent food surveys most students favored the foot!. plan of limited initial porportions and unlimited seconds. Most representatives felt that the surveys were not explicit enough and that students didn't realize what this food plan entails. If a student wanted even a second · glass of milk, he or she would have to get back in line: Therefore a new _survey will be conducted.

The 1977 edition is by far one of.the most talent laden and best balanced clubs in the history of the sport at the college. One of the reasons for the drastic upsurge in the net program is the great influx of young talent. Freshmen and sophomores the likes of Mike Hromchak, Gary Krupinski, Vince Walters, Rich Baran, Charles Petrino, Scott Gruber, and Clint Walker are bound to make their presence felt on the squad. These players have much potential but right now they are green and lack experience. They need seasoned advice to help them correct their mistakes and yet still · make valuable contributions ·to the team this year. The sources of this sagely advice are the mutual admiration society of captain Judd Davis and coach Tom Rokita. . Davis says of Rokita, "He does a great joh with the tennis program here at Wilkes. He's at a tremendous disadvantage by not being a faculty member of the college. That, plus the fact that we don't recruit and don't have a terribly large budget makes his job a very difficult one." Rokita says of Davis, "He is a fine leader and q. tireless performer. He just never quits and has the respect of all his teammates." Sounds almost too good to be true but be assured it is not. · Once the team takes the court to play a match, the coach can no longer coach, so Davis being in the position of captain and ·number one player assumes the role of leadership and Judd has come through with flying colors. "Tennis is a head game," comments Judd. ''My job is to try and keep the team as poised as possible. A player can have the best shots in the world but if he is not mentally composed, he'll get pounded into the ground. With so many young players on the team, it is a challenging job." Judd started his Colonel career at the numbers three and four slots in the lineup and posted a tremendous 11-1 record his freshman year. He has been competing number one ever since. Perhaps Coacl1 Rokita says it best. "Playing number one is a tremendous burden to bear because mevery match you are pitted against the best the other school has to offer. Even if it is .a weak team, they usually have at least one excellent player and Judd gets the unenviable job of always playing the best." Judd Davis has made his mark in the annals of Wilkes· College tennis. Hail to the King ! Long live . the King! Acornley :l1;:..•••~ DOUBLES TEAM - Captain Judd Da~s and Coach Tom Rokita shake for a successful t.ennis season. Leadership and experience are the qualities that these two men are trying to convey to the young squad in order to help build a winner. The last ._time we wrote of the Wilkes baseball .team, they hadn't yet played a regular season game, and were fighting snow, rain, and freezing temperatures in order to get a game in. Well, things have certainly changed since then. ~ In the last two weeks the temperature has been in the 70's, and the Colonels have played nine games , winning eight of them. Where two weeks ago there was very little to write about, this week we don't know where to- start. So·, we'll start at the beginning. Against Bloomsburg, in their season opener, the Colonels had to go into extra innings to defeat the Huskies 6-4. Manny Evans picked up the win in relief. Mike Supczinski drove in the winning run, and also had a two run homer. In their first MAC North West games, the Cotonels split a · doubleheader with Susquehanna. They lost the opener on some questionnable calls by umpires, before coming back to win the nightcap behind the ·one hit pitching · of Jim Stehle and the hitting of Don McDermott and Lou Elefante. The Colonels opened their home season last Tuesday by sweeping a doubleheader against Scranton. Evans and freshman Carl DeFelice each picked up a win, as Steve Grasley ( with four RBI's in the first game), McDermott (a grand slam in the second game!, and Ken Suchoski (with a homer in each game) . led the Colonel hitters to seventeen runs. in the twin bill. Archrival Elizabethtown came into Artillery Park last Saturday and by the time the day was up, wished they'd never heard of Wilkes. Andy Kresky pitched a no-hitter in the first game as the Colonels won 2-0, on a Supczenski home run, and an RBI single by Dave Korba. In the second game, Stehle allowed only one hit ( that in the last inning) and the Colonel hitters gave him eleven runs in the first inning as Wilkes breezed to an 18-3 victory. Supczenski and Suchoski each had a home run in that first inning, and in the fourth inning Elefante hit a tremendous 425 foot homer as the Colonels ended the game with 20 hits. .. The Colonels swept their third doubleheader in a row Tuesday against East Stroudsburg and handed Coach Gene Domzalski his 100th and 101st career victories. Wilkes won the opener 13-3, behind · the pitching ofDeFelice and the home run power of McDermott and Elefante. The second game saw a brilliant pitching performance by Barry Harchrufka before he had to yield to Evans who picked up his -third win. Phil Marino led the Colonels with a triple, and a cluth RBI single. · · So, the Colonels are now 8-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play. They have a conference doubleheader at home today with Albright and travel to Allentown for a make-up game tomorrow. Then on Saturday, the Colonels will be home again for a doubleheader against Delaware Valley. The season thus far has been going strong and if . 1:-'l :]'. An~ Kresky-No Hitter Open.Home Today;~ Tourney Monday "I don't know if you've ever played golf with mittens on, but I assure you it's murder! " exclaimed Colonel golf captain Ken Donlavage. " It w~s the first time I ever wore longjohns on a golf course:" Such was the situation when the Wilkes golf team initiated their 1977 season at the Limerick Golf Course near the campus of Ursinus College. The team split a triangular decision but were lucky they didn't get frpstbite. In near hurricane conditions, Ursinus slushed the Colonels while Lycoming forfeited and the Wilkes record shivered at a very chilly 1-1. That's not all skiing fans, two days later they were _snowed • out of their home opener with .Haverford College. The Colonels were prepared · to play however. They each had a complete set of differently pitched shovels and a round's supply of snowballs; but Haverford wouldn't fall for the snow job. The weather finally broke and the team went for broke in their next match. Taking advantageof · (continued on page 7) beautiful conditions at last, the Colonels took it to Upsala and Scranton at the Scranton Municipal Golf Course. The Royals are the defending MAC champs.

Stickmen-Look To End Bad Losing Streak At last writing, the Wilkes College lacrosse team was 1-0, and backed by our compients, were on their way to the highest mountain. , But along the way, . they ran into a couple of detours. Three, to be exact. The Colonel· stickmen were defeated in their next three games -after the initial victory. First disaster was a 13-7 loss at the hands of Lehigh University on April 6 at Ralston Field. Wilkes, which was never really in the game, came within one at 5-4 with 3: 07 left in the first half on a Bill Adams unassisted goal. But when the half came, the Blue and Gold were down, 8-4. 'F-hen it was 10-5, and then 13-6, before Adams scored his third goal of the day .for the 13-7 final. Besides Adams, Doug .Price had a good game with a goal and an assist. Juniors Chip Von Heil and Mike Kane tallied three goals apiece for ttie Engineers. Chuck Mattei's club then went on the road with a .game with Madison FDU. The Colonels got belted, 17-10. Where's Sylvester Stal\one when you need him? The Colonels were tied 3-3 at the end of the first quarter, but fell behind 8-6 at the half and 11-8 at the end of the third quarter. Wilkes, after coming within one at 11-10 in the early part of the final period, were outscored by Madison, 6-0 to close out the game. Adams and Brian Blesi had three goals and one assist each. Quad-captain Mark Davis added two goals in the losing effort. Then came , the match_up with Bucknell University. It was Bill Winter's homecoming game . STICKING WITH IT: Winter had some interesting comments on coming back to Wilkes: " Wilkes lacrosse really meant a lot to me. I loved the game, the players and the school. But, now I'm with Bucknell and that is where my interest lies." ... Freshmen Bill Adams and Tim Smith are having great seasons so far ...With the beautiful weather, many fans showed up for the Bucknell game. Where were these "dedicated" fans when it was snowing and raining in the early games? .. :Reports are in: Kurt Franke looks better without moustache.

Those involved are attempting to coordinate the services of the two offices, Placement and Vocational Testing. Materials for the library itself are now being collected and assembled ; many are still on order. Books, pamphlets, and brochures provided by companies and corporations will make up one section. Lists and directories of positions and job openings are also being put together. One such directory is the Pennscript, a microfiche card file of positions available in Pennsylvania in which there are over two hundred job titles listed. Information given on each card inoludes a job description, what The Placement Department is currently planning a Careers Library. Shown at the location of the Library are, from left to right, Sharon Seidner, junior, elementary education; ·earbara FitzgeraldMcClain, personnel office secretary_; Nancy Kozemko, sophomore, English. Creative Writing Class · Added To English Dept. · Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of-the English Department, has announced an important addition to the fall schedule. English 203, a Creative Writing course, will be offered. It will be taught by Mr. Jack Hardie, and it will have guest , writers meet with the students periodically. The guest writers are sponsored through a National Endowment for · the Arts Award that Wilkes has received in conjunction with the Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair of English Literature. Dr. Kaska is very excited with this endowment and hopes to have · a new writer at Wilkes every two or three weeks. The writer will teach the course one night and will be available for consultation the next day. This course will be in addition to the Writer-in-Residence program that. is included in the spring semester. -4 -:::r college courses would be best to take for it, where the necessary courses can be taken, and the average job openings in various parts of the state. . Ms. Fitzgerald-McClain, who holds a B..-\. in history and minor in English, and was formerly employed as an audio-visual librarian in Florida, is ordering and compiling materials for the library. She said that she is especially interested in audiovisual aids such as a cassette file which she has already partially obtained. Each tape describes a different profession and the frequency of job openings for that profession. This file is an example of the service that the library will provide especially for freshmen and sophomores who may be unsure of their career goals. Other plans include workshops or seminars to give instruction in writing resumes and taking interviews. Representatives from various firms or companies in the community will be invited to speak and hold discussion groups. Mock interviews will be set up in wJ:rtch ·students can gain experience in taking interviews and become prepared for the real thing. Hopefully, discussion groups like these will be videotaped and kept ~n file to be used later. Ms. Fitzgerald-McClain also said that she ts working on a special Women's Section for the Library. " Opportunities for women are really expanding, and we'd like to make young women more aware of ·the fact that they don't have to limit themselves to certain areas.'' Another set of materials is aimed at the.liberal arts major . f•students don 't realize how much they can dQ with a liberal arts degree. T) iS' type of guidance is very important since Wilkes is a liberal arts school. " Both Chwalek and FitzgeraldMcClain have visited other ,chools which have set up Careers Libraries . Chwalek .::ommented, " When ours is finshed, it will probably be the largest in the state." He also said that the most important thing about the Careers Library is that it is a tool to be used by students. He hopes that as many students as possible will take advantage of this facility when it is completed in the fall. Chwalek concluded, "We want to get all the students involved." <I) IJI <I) Ill n 0 ::i THE HUT at Hotel Sterl_ ing Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches r·~. . . .. .,. .,..,-...,.......,...,.,..., MARQUIS· ART and FRAME - Art Supplies and Picture Frames 217 South Main Street, WILKES BARRE , Book And · ~ ~ Record Mart \ 18 S.

They flock down south and hit all the hot spots like Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Some snow bunnies try to get in that last run and head up north to Vermont for the last of spring skiing. But, of course, here at Wilkes we had our vacation in the middle of March when the most exciting thing happening was the "Knitting and Crochetting" exhibition at the "Y.)' · So, in order to make the most of this extended vacation that is 'coming up, I have compiled a list of activities to help you really live it up on your vacation. Karen is the author of a manuscript with a tentafive title of "In The Grottos." It is a collection . of short stories and poetry, consisting of four sections containing six parts. , Karen has been writing ever since her elementary school days, but began to write in earnest at Wilkes under the tutelage of Dr. Rizzo.

Karen Line Karen believes that the best time to begin dealing with writing is with elementary sc!Jool-age children. "The pQtential is there, and you can expand on interest. There is a silent teacher in writing." The writing on the manuscript covers a time span of three years, during which one piece developed into a script for a play .. "I view the characters in my writing from an existentialist point of view," she commented. "I never com~ right out and say what they are feeling." She believes that "the writer is a medium for the people; saying what people want to say but maybe can't. The writer steps in, develops a character, a composite of people, ahd puts it all down into weirds,'-' she stated. "He tunes into them, letting them speak through his pen.

"This change," said Hoover, " represents a response from hundreds of alumni who want to learn more about the college and share in some of the achievements of our alumni." "The n'ew format will present Wilkes College in greater depth and we would welcome your comments," he added. The first issue of the magazine, published by the Public Relations Office and the Alumni Relations Office, offers five features. The main article, " Conversations with Dona1d Carpenter: · College Trustee," deals with the board members-thoughts on the past, present, and future of the college. · Decorated with photos that capture Carpenter at his Mendenhall home, the article also relates the man's experiences in Washington, D.C. during the late 1940's. The other feature articles include : an interview with two Wilkes graduates workinR at WYZZ-FM ; a reflexion of the 12 years of the Dorothy Dickson., Darte Center for the Performing Arts ; a story on Joseph J. Pinola, '49, who now heads the United California Bank; an interview with Alan Schneider, a '63 graduate who has made a major breakthrough in prolonging the lives of people with heart conditions. The magazine is also filled with articles touching every aspect of Wilkes College life.

" It went over very well. " "We should have more of these on the local scene." These were just a few of the comments after the dus t had cleared from the first Wilkes College F ootball Workshop last Saturday night. The workshop, the first of its kind at Wilkes , was the brainchild of head footba ll coach Rollie Schmidt. " It was a high school oriented workshop, designed to provide information to local high school coaches and Wilkes alumni who are in the football coaching field ," commented Schmidt. " It wasn't a moneymaking project, we were just trying to provide a service to the community." · A complete day was devoted to the workshop. It began with a registration period in Stark Hall from 8:30 till 10 A.M. Danish and coffee were served and the time was used as a get acquainted time. The rest of the morning was used for classroom time as was the afternoon after a break for lunch. After dinner they returned for more information and then capped the day off witli a social time at the Alunni House. Some of the topics duscussed with over 9 hours of lectures, slides and handouts were offensive and defensive developments, drills, aspects of running, option plays, option defenses, training techniques , developing offensive linemen, and defensive secondary play .. All of the clinicians and guest lecturers are or have been associated with Wilkes College in some way in the past.

Also participating were John Rowlands , former Wilkes assistant and currently head coach at championship GAR High · School ; Marv Antinnes , Wyoming Seminary ; and Ted. Yeager, Wellsboro. "Although we did have recruiting and admissions people there, it was not primarily a recruiting push," stated Schmidt. "We simply wanted to provide this service to the community and make available some high school coaching hints in a social and relqxed setting.

Now we have to-see how our pitchin'g is going to go. " Currently, the pitching staff consists of Mary Jo Frail, Julie Kerrick, and Debbie Welliver, all participants in other varsity sports. Gay Meyers has produced three championship field hockey teams at Wilkes in the past three years. It should be very interesting to see what she produces the first year of varsity softball. The brand new women 's varsity softball team is coming along quite well after only one week of practice - practice that is held in the cold, wet weather that prevails at Ralston Field. The Wilkes girls are using the hockey field to practice but have received permission from the Wyoming Valley West ·school District to use one of their fields as the Wilkes home field. Coach Gay Meyers said practicing on the hockey field has been working out well, but she still has to set a regular practice schedule. Mrs. Meyers added that after only a week of practice she has seen 28 girls at one time out for the team. She said that participation-wise, the girls are really excited about playing softball. The coach remarked that there is a wide range of players - from girls who have played a few varsity sports at Wilkes to girls who have never participated on a Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W.

Pictures were taken of these champions but were ruined by over-exposure from Don McDermott's smile. Spring is here and intramural activity has been 'moved outdoors: softball is here again. .Opening day was yes:terday and was celebrated justly. The day's activities started with a keg party at Bedford Hall; then a players' parade to Ralston Field ; Casper Tortella then flew the opening ball into home plate (people are still'Jooking for a kite, or a plane, or something)"; the season was thfn officially launched when Dean Ralston·threw out the first ball, which hit Larry Conner on the nose. Opening day was the climax to a very active spring training camp for this year's team. Manson's Gang, a Pittston based team , arrived home Tuesday after a rigorous southern trip to Honeypot. Captain Mickey Calabrese says the games were a challenge but the bars were even tougher. · In other pre-season action the Dennis Phelps Fan Club swept a doubleheader from Legato, 27-1 and 19-2. Tom MacIntyre, John Desalvo and Casper Tortella all homered for Phelps while the big hitters for Legato were John Zapko, who singled , and Kenny Hughes who managed three foul balls. Denison made George Elliot an offer he couldn't refuse and he signed a one year contract as head coach this week. Elliot brings with him one of the best staffs on the circuit. Welton F:arrar will serve as batting coach, T.J. Engel as pitching coach and Dr. Howard Williams will carry out bat distribution duties. Charles (Sputnik ) Caukins will head the umpires this year and has promised his crew of umpires additional equipment this year. It seems that several compla_ints were issued that a_ccused catchers of missing the pitch on purpose after a questionable call by _an official. Netmen Home Sat The Wilkes College tennis team finally got their season under way yesterday after two early pQstponments due to inclement weather. · The Colonels scheduled opener with Juniata last Saturday got the axe because of the rain as did the match with Ursinus scheduled for Tuesday. from page 8 The Juniata match has not been rescheduled yet but the netmen were to initiate the season yesterday at Ursinus. The tennis home · opener is scheduled for Saturday at the Ralston Field courts when the Colonels entertain Baptist Bible at 2:00 P.M. -------------- __ _ from this Saturday the crucial doubleheader with E-Town will be played at Artillery Park. · The Blue Jays were the only Northwest Club to defeat Wilkes last year. In their doubleheader at :E-Town last year, the Colonels lost the first game 1-0, before coming back behind the pitching of Jim Stehle to win the second game 4-0. This year's games promise to be just as tough. But, the Colonels must not look past this Saturday's game with 'Susqueha·nna. . So Wilkes has its work cut out for them in the next four or five weeks. Coach Gene Domzalski : not only has to worry about opponents, but never knows when the rain clouds are going to str~e and cause more problems with the schedule. The )?itching staff may become depleted. As Stehle put it, "We may have to pitch _Donny (McDermott) or even Steve (Fella) Grasley; we have so many games in so few days." - �RAIN! · RAIN! RAIN!

Last Saturday's season opener at Allentown was rained qut and rescheduled for April 22, and the Colonels looked forward to opening the season at Bloomsburg on the past Tuesday. However, rain wiped out the Bloomsburg doubleheader and the games were expected to be played-yesterday. But, the condition of the Bloomsburg playing field was so poor, that the games .were to be played at the Central Columbia High School diamond. So, the weather has not only wiped out t4ose games, but created a problem for the Colonels in the weeks ahead. After the April 16th joubleheader with archrival Elizabethtown, Wilkes will play seven games in five days. Even with a pitching staff as deep as the Colonels, this stretch of the schedule almost has to take its toll. The Colonels will travel to Susquehanna this Saturday to play their first two Middle Atlantic Conference Northwest Division games. These games are crucial, since the Colonels only have eight conference games altogether. The other six game_s will be played against Elizabethtown, Albright (April 21) , and Juniata (April 30). All encounters will be doubleheaders. Last year Wilkes swept Susquehanna by identical 8-1 scores. The Colonels ended up tied with E-Town gor the conference crown with a 7-1 record. In a one game playoff Blue J ays, Wilkes was defeated 8-J. This year the Colonels hope to go through conference play unaefeated and win the title outright. The road to accomplishing this feat will be rocky. As mentioned before all games are played in doubleheaders, and basebail fans know how· difficult it is to sweep doubleheaders. Also, the· Susquehanna and Juniata games are on the road, one never knows how fair umpires will be on the road in the college ranks. - This isn't meant to imply that all road umpires are "homers." But! the Colonels have experienced problems with c;ertain teams over the years because of umpires,.and there is always the cnance of running into that one man , in a blue suit who can wreck or hinder an otherwise successful season. · The Colonels may show the effects of the last couple of weeks weather in their first few games. After finally getting some playing time in down South, they came back here ready to open the season, only to be rained out twice. If they were rained (or snowed ) out on Wednesday·, it would mean playing those two big games at_ Susquehanna without having played any other games in the past two weeks. _ Wilkes will open the home season next Tuesday with a doubleheader against non-conference foe Scranton. Last year the Colonels defeated the Royals in three out of four meetings. One week \ v I I I Home Opener Tom·orrow For Colonel Duffers Continued page 7 By Jeff Acornley The Wilkes golf team wi.ll open its home match schedule tomorrow when the Colonels entertain Haverford at the . Irem Temple Country Club course. The du.al competition is slated to begin at 2:00. The hilly Dallas c_ourse just opened last weekend so this week marked the first time that the Colonels have been able to practice as a team on the home grounds. Coach Rollie Schmidt isn't too concerned, however, about the lack of team practice time on the course. "We've been drilling fundamentals and short iron and approach shots over at Ralston Field for quite a while now and I feel we're in pretty good shape for this time of year," commented the mentor. A lot of the Colonels are members of assorted loca l courses and have been getting some "live" practice on. the weekends. The biggest problem in the Colonel camp seems to be the weather. Irem has been open but also very wet and muddy, as are most of the other local courses. The Colonel golfers luckily have escaped the postponement syndrome so far. They were scheduled to open the season yesterday in Philadelphia with a triangular match against Ursinus and Lycoming. After tomorrow's encounter with Haverford, the Colonels take to the highway for a triangular match with Upsala and defending MAC champ Scranton on April 14. Now if the weather will only cooperate a little ... ;- f. '. Greg Goes 'Wild' In Mud Bowl To ·Mad is-on FDU Travel I By Eddie White Who says rainy days are dark - and dull? For lacros:;e coach Chuck Mattei and his team, they are like rays of sunshine. The club played in a monsoon at Ralston Field last Saturday and . drenched Dickinson College, 11-6, in the season opener. _ The big gun for Wilkes was 6-4 junior Greg Wild, who waded through the Red Devils defense for four first quarter goals. Freshman Tim Smith also had a tremendous opening quarter , scoring two goals and handing out two assists , as Wilkes led 6--0 at the end of the period. · J ust 30 seconds into the second period, senior co-captain· Kurt Franke took a pass from Smith, (third assist)', to put the Blue and Gold up by a commanding 7--0. Sandy McAllister, Dickinson's .co-captain, who played a great game, tallied the next two goals, while teammate Clark Willey scored one to cut the Colonels lead to 7-3 at the half. Wilkes continued their offensive brilliance in the .third period, scoring the first four goals of the quarter. Sophomore Jim O'Neil scored an unassisted goal at 2: 15 to put the Blue arid Gold up 8-3. Tim Smith, (fourth assist), passed to Kurt Franke, (second goal), at 4:50 for a score. Brian Blesi scored from Dwight Beck at 11: 35 and co-captain Mark Davis, ( Wilkes ice-hockey I star), scored on a pass from Franke to close the Colonel offensive barrage for the day. · Bill Petrick added two goals and McAlHster notched one, to end the scoring for the game, and set the final at 11-6. One of the officials in Saturday's contest was ·heard to say, "this is the worst weather I've seen for a lacrosse match." If thes·e tough Colonels can get a victory on a day -like last Saturday, they can win anywhere , anytime and at anyplace, a warning to the rest of the league. The Colonels, . who battled a tough Lehigh squad yesterday, will meet Madison FDU on the road, on Saturday · afternoon, April 9, at 2. They will return home, to a hopefully dry Ralston Field, to duel with Bucknell on Thursday afternoon, April14 at 3. STICKING WITH IT: Colonel goalie Bill Harris had a great game in the goal. An accurate account of his saves was not available, because of the terrible weather conditions, as the scorebook looked like a wet mop after the contest. Scorekeeper Ronna Colvin, keeping her first game, has to be given credit for a gre_at job under those conditions. Coaches Mattei and Hobrock were as wet and muddy as the players after the· game, but both said it was well worth it. I STICK IN THE MUD_:, Colonel Freshman Mark Sanders (30) battles at midfield for the ball that is firmly imbedded into the Ralston Field turf. A stubborn Dickinson foe is providing the opposition as senior quad-captain Kurt Franke (16) circies around to lend a helping hand. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Running for president are Tom Bazzini, Alan France, and ~rle Zipkin . . Elections will be held Thursday, April 14 for all resident students. Tom Bazzini, a chemistry and biology major from Holbrook, New York, felt that this year's council was effective but had no major a.ccoinplishments. He clarified· this by saying, "The council solved all the day to day crises and instigateti a few activities ; ·however, it didn't push many issues such as the visitation policy . or the party policy." In comment on the present JDC pres1dent, Bruce · Lear, Bazzini said, "He did as good a job as possible." "The main change I would like to see," added Bazzini, "is a better coordination of activities instead of having a movie running opposite an athletic event for instance." In addition, he would like to have passed a "twenty-four hour visitation policy using the 'proposed summer school policy as a jumpingoff point." The proposed policy deals with having male and female students rooming in Pickering Hall on separate floors. · In citing problems he believes he will run into as president, · Bazzini said, "The main problem I feel will be getting enough interested students to support me. Nothing can be done without student backing or interest." The second contender for the office of pre~ident is Alan France, an accounting major from Allentown. France is vice president of JDC at present and has been·chairman of the parking committee while working on the food, maintenance, and attendance committees .. He has also been a resident assistant for 1 the past year. When asked how he felt about this year's council, France said, · "It was very ineffective. •We didn't fulfill our potential." He also commented on Lear as being , "a little too busy with other activities, but he tried his best." "I feel the main problem is communication or the lack of-it," commented France. "I would work closer with the dorms." He suggested an JDC newsletter which would be more comprehensive than the present one and would be available to all resident students, not just council members. France also spoke of himself as he said, "The vice president knows the ins and outs and is well equipped for the job." The last contender for the office is Merle Zipkin, a political science and French major from New Milford, New Jersey. Zipkin feels that this year's council did not have the needed participation of council members. "More people should be encouraged and more people should have an interest because IDC can become more viable." Under changes to be made, Zipkin said, "I would like to see a more flexible party policy and to keep working on the visitation policy for what a majority of the students want." She would also encourage and like to see more student participation. Zipkin sees her main problem continued on page 3 run to give the students a Carl · Holsberger, a junior choice."

Shaved Heads Make Students $50 Richer By To break the monotony of college life, many studehts have been known to swallow gold fish or cram 32 people into a tight VW or even shave their heads on a dare. Two Wilkes College undergraduates completed the latter and are now $50 richer. Chip Pufko, a business administration major from Valle)' Forge, explained that Barry Zoppo had his head shaved in high school and dared him and Tony Grimaldie, a Math and· Computers major from Deer Park, New York, to do it. Barry and Rick Caro, Tony's . roommate, then quickly collected $100 in three hours by hustling students outside the cafeteria. THE WIZARD OFWAl. Fun Page Tony and Chip couldn't belie.ve they collected all the money and as a result were now committed. That night, while Art Buchwald was speaking in the Gym, hundreds of students gathered in the center lounge of Pickering Hall to watch the shaving. As one student commented, ''it was a pretty good show." When asked how it has affected the girls on campus, Tony said "it doesn't really matter' while Chip said, "There are no more girls worth getting around here." He then quickly clarified himself and added that it has caused a problem because "who wants a bald-headed guy." Both their girl friends were shocked and Tony P.

Netmen On The Road For Opener At Juniata By Jeff Acornley The Wilkes College tennis team will take the wraps off a brand new season tomorrow more than four hours away from home when they battle with Juniata College in Huntington, Penna. The Indians are the first Colonel foe on an extended 12 match schedule. The netmen of Coach Tom Rokita are loaded with fresh new faces . Only three returning lettermen lend experience to the squad while the remainder of the roster is bulging with underclassmen. Senior Judd Davis is the ringleader. By far the best player qn the team, he will serve as captain and compete out of the first singles slot. The two other veterans are senior Mark Abbruzzese and sophomore Gary Krupenski. The kiddie corps is headed by freshman Mike Hromchak from Woodrow Wilson High School in Levittown. He has been very impressive in spring practice and so far looks to have captured the number 2 singles position behind Davis. ·Krupenski is currently positioned third while another newcomer, Vince Walters is sitting in the fourth slot. Walters is from Meyers . High School and transferred to Coloneland from LCCC. Rich Baran and Charles P etrino are currently competing in the fifth and sixth positions respectively. Baran is a junior from Wyoming Valley West and Petrino is a sophomore from Binghamton. Rounding out the squad are freshman Scott Gruber, sophomores Pete Eller and Clint Walker, and senior Abbruzzese. Coach Tom Rokita is very optimistic about this year's team. "We have a lot of depth on the team this season which leaves us in the very pleasant position of having 10 players fighting for the 6 starting slots," stated Rokita. "We've never really had thls kind of situation before at Wilkes. I like it!" The intersquad competition for starting positions br'eeds a -,.healthy attitude and makes for lively practice sessions. It also prevents the players from feeling secure and makes them work even harder on improving their games. . The Colonels preseason practice competition has been limited, due mostly to the bad weather and the great expense of playing indoors. However, they did get to compete in the College Bowl and finished third in the four team field. SUNY Binghamton finished first Every so often, a leader of a with Scranton, Wilkes, and King's following. team suffers an injury which puts "We placed third in that tournament but it was a very competitiv( him out for the season, and the so.: finish," stated Rokita.

Only fifteen percent of the student body participated in the elections. Do class officers direct and offer their classes many activities to get involved in or is apathy the reason students are so turned off? When asked what he has accomplished as president, Larry Cohen of the senior class at first sarcastically said "nothing-no moqey". He then clarified that the class has sponsored a few successful roller skating parties and is currently working on the_ annual Junior-Senior dinner dance but because of the limit of funds Student Government grants, class activities are very limited. . Junior class president of one · Failure To Vote Plagues Elections year, Kim Dubosky, seemed more positive and stated that as president she has worked on the Freshman-Sophomore dinner dance, representing the class in Homecoming activities, the Foreign Beer Festival, and most recently The Gong Show. Citing problems that the president runs into, Cohen and Dubosky, both agreed that student apathy is the biggest problem. They also both agreed that few people want to do the planning of activities or as Dubrosky noted " they will only get involved when recognition is going to be made. " Cohen also complained that both Student Government and · the administrators, "don't keep you informed 'with important news that will affect the class." "You're lucky if you get the full executive council to attend a class meeting" said Dubrosky when asked for her impressions of the class. She noted that at this commuters and in fact, he couldn't think of any commuters who are involved in class activities. Apathy is the major problem noted by both presidents. The only resolution as Cohen sees it would be more money from Student Government to sponsor more class activities. · The more activities, the less apathy. But as Cohen feels "Student Government is all knowing, all powerful, and ful1 of shit."

Requests NOTED COLUMNIST - World famous newspaper satirist Art Buchwald is shown prior to his lecture at the Wilkes gym last Wednesday. MacLaine expressed the feeling of many people regarding the personal conduct of our presidents when she said, "I'd rather a president do it to a woman than to a country. " Why Carter? He raised the question, "Why, in a country of 200 million people, can't we find one outstanding person to run for president?" and then proceeded- to answer it. He claimed that only 144 million people are over 18 and only 99 million of those are registered voters. But, 38 million are under 35 and are therefore, not eligible to run for the office. One million more are not native Ameri cans. Half · of the remaind er are women , and Fund requests were the center of attention for the major portion of the Student Government meeting Monday night, with $835 being granted to five organizations. An expenditure of $95 was approved for the ROTC Club's formal dining-in to be held tomorrow night at the Franklin Club. The Chemical Society received $120 to defray the expenses of an upcoming seminar trip. The newly formed Tropical Fish Club was granted $200 to· purchase a 50 gallon fish tank plus accessories. The tank will then be placed in the library. Mr. Edwin Johnson, director of student teaching, represented the Education Club to request $200 to enable an estimated 50 student teachers to attend an overnight work session at the Bear Creek · campsite. After an amendment opening the event to all students was approved, request· was granted. Reason for the amendment, proposed by IDC President Bruce Lear, was that it would allow stude nts interested in the teaching profession to have an opportunity to see what they're getting into. The final request of the evening was presented by the Bar Bell Club which . received $220 to construct a portable Bar Bell platform to be temporarily housed in the basement of New Men's Dorm. · The issue of the pre-final week testing procedure will come to a yes or no vote at the next meeting of the Department ·heads, according to SG Academic Committee Chairman Carl Holsberger. Pure Prairie League is scheduled to give a concert on April 23 in the gymnasium as a part of the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Her second-place fil)ish earned her $4,000. • Miss Donahue is scheduled to give her senior recital Monday at Julliard School of Music. Kim Wolny, one of the team members; mentioned that at least once a week the team travels to the Shiloh Ranch in Moscow, Pennsylvania, where their activities take place. While there, most of their time involves intense practice in order to assure them of a favorable position in the Intercollegiate Horse Shows, of which they are a part. Some of the stunts they perform include walk trrot, canter, halting, backing, along with practice in jumping and turning. All of the exercises are designed to improve the skills of both horse and rider, a more agile equestrian being the result. Basically, the prerequisites for membership in the club involve both a sense of competition and some experience with horses. When one considers the club's participation in various horse shows, the need for experienced members becomes unders'tandable. Those lacking in experience might be interested in the riding instruction wpile Mr. Edwards, manager of the Shiloh Ranch, offers at a fee of $4.25 per class. Kim would also like to air the fact that possession of one's Knight-Time Puzzlers By Sue Ann Knight , 1. What were the character names of the lead roles on Route 66? What were their real names? 2.

For Commuter Council With the end of the semester fast approaching, Commuter Council has begun evaluating itself as 'an organization, asking members for criticisms and compliments. Positive comments were made about the smorgasbord sponsored by the group, and Barry Pezzner hopes that CC can hold more next year. But some concern was expressed about the CC parking system. President Dave Cherundolo said that a rearrangement is. possible and that the procedures should be more open. He added, "It looks like we're going to have more spots for next year." Arthur Hoover, director of student activities, was present at the meeting and reported that it was CC's letter on fraternities that spurred positive action. He said that hopefully, the factfinding and recommendation committee on fraternities will have results by the .end of the semester. Election dates for new members and officers, plus the senior gifts to be given at the awards luncheon were also discussed. Dr. Bronis Kaslas , former Wilkes professor of history, invites all members of the community to attend an exhibit of religious paintings, ancient Byzantine orthodox incons, and genuine European Easter eggs at his Warehouse Art Gallery, 381 No. Main St., Pittston, from Friday, March 25, to Wednesday, April 26. Gallery hours are 1-5 and 7-9 on weekdays and 2-ti on Sundays. The exhibit is presented as a public service, free of charge, to the religious community of this area on the occasion of the lenten and passover seasons. Qµestion: Class elections have see med to have lost their potency. Do you think the idea of a socially active class is important? Bill Davis, Wilkes-Barre , psychology: Yes, a socially in- · valved school privides a sharing environment for its students. The experien.ces learned in social interaction enhance the quality of education. Dave Cherundolo, Old Forge, political science: Most definitely - because we must realize that involvement - whether it is with the four classes or any of the other organizations on campus is a vital part of education in the broad sense. · Rosie Noone, Scranton, nursing: I think it is important to have a socially active class, but if people don't show up for elections how can they ever become involved socially in the class. Rosetta Chiavacci, Hughestown, nursing: I think a socially active class adds to the togetherness of the class. It makes everyone closer, and makes the class seem more like a class. Bert Katz, West Orange, N.J., accounting: I think a socially active class is importan t, however the apathy in the elections discouraged me from becoming involved in my class. I thinkthough that the Gong Show i:, a good step towards promoting interest in class activities. Barry Zoppo, Newark, N.J., psychology: I think a socially active class is important but I also think the college restricts the flexibility of the classes.

But at Wilkes College, students can enroll in a program that seems- to enhance career opportunities, especially for government and public service positions. It is · the Community Service Program, set up at the college in September, 1975, in cooperation with Action, an indepe ndent government agency. Under this program, participating students are expected to devote one full year ( 35 hours per week) to service in a public agency. The students also · participate in seminars, and are r esponsible for a r esearch project relating to their agency experience. Mrs. Barbara Bellucci, the pr ogram's project coordinator at Wilkes, said that the first year of Community Service at the college has been very successful as far as enhancing job opportunities. " About 80 percent of the participating students were hired either by the agencies they worked for or at agencies related to the field ," she commented. Mrs. Bellucci explained that Opera Buffs Disappointed? · Singer Dazzles Young_A udience 1 Opera singer Patrice Munsel dazzled the young audience but perhaps may have disappointed opera buffs in her appearance in Monday night's Concert and Lecture Series presentation. Miss Munsel performed .for an hour and a half with no intermission . Popular songs, broadway show tunes and a minimal number of operatic arias were interspersed · with amusing tales of the Metropolitan and other delightful stories. The talented entertainer began her program with a song from the sixties, " By The Time I Get To Phoenix," written by Jim Webb. She then continued with \'Musetta's Waltz" from Puccinni's " La Boehme." With grace and ease she floated from one octave to another in both selections, but was more musical in the latter. Her renditions of songs written by Burt Bacharach, Elton John, and others were fresh and exciting as compared to the style of singing most of us are used to hearing on the Johnny Carson Show, as actors try to be singers. With crystal clear diction, the singer-housewife communicated every word of every song. Included in the program was a medley of Broadway musical By Lisa Waznik show songs from "The Sound of Music," "My Fair Lady," "South Pacific," "Mame," and others. She also performed a selection of favorites from the 1940's. In contrast to these , Miss Munsel took the audience back to the Classical period with a Mozart aria. She combined her voice with that of her accompanist, a Julliard School student, in the popular version of "The Lord's Prayer. " He was amazing in himself as a perfect accompanist. His rapport with the keyboard was evident as he · watched his songstress' every move r'or a cue, rubato, or a cutoff. One of the finest of the modern pieces on the program was Stephen Sondheim's "Send In The Clowns" from the musical " A Little Night Music. " With intense emotion and musical accuracy Miss Munsel told the story of a heartbroken actress in the words of the song. With an encore of " He's Got The Whole World In His Hands," the performer began in the longing style of Marian Anderson and ended her performance with the audience singing and clapping in time.

But she added that the Community Service progra:n also benefits the community as it provides agencies with aid and the publj.c with assistance. Three Wilkes students who were placed with the Legal Services of Northeastern Pennsylvania , Inc. under the Community Service Program, and two Wilkes students who were placed with the United Services . Agency (USA) have found permanent jobs at these offices. Tim Farmick, Bill Rinley, and Laura Davis were retained as paralegals at Legal Services, while Bill Lavage and Dennis Phelps were hired at USA. F . Charles Petrillo, executive director at Legal Services,. finds that the Community Service " is a program certainly worth encouraging. " He said that the students develop wide contacts among local agencies in the welfare, social services and court system, and added, " It is a welcome opportunity to apply a liberal arts education to a community need." Also pleased with the Commuriity Service program is Gene Brady from the United Services Agency. He said that the kinds of work the students do are important. Under the program, Brady explained that the student has responsibility, is provided with IDC To Nominate Officers P resident Bruce Lear announced at the very poorly attended Inter-Dormitory Council meeting Tuesday morning, that nominations for next year's officers will be made either this Sunday or April 3, the following Sunday. If council members are not ready to make nominations this Sunday then they will be held the following Sunday. The only stipulation is that a nomination must be made of someone who has served on the council this year.

" We had the opportunity to see the students in a full-time setting." Several other agencies are used for student placement with the Community Service P rogram. They include: Economic Development Cpuncil of Northeastern Pa., Citizen's Choice Coalition, Head Start, Wilkes-Barre Planning, Family Service Association, the LuzerneWyoming and HazletonNanticoke Mental Health-Mental Retardation Centers, Volunteers of America , Pocono Environmental Education Center, Upward Bound , Women's Resource Center, Small Business Association, and Malabar. Mrs. Bellucci pointed out that even if the students cannot be hired by the agency they are placed with, they still have someone in the job sector in their corner to· make recommendations. The project director of the Wilkes Community Service Program is Dr . James P. Rodechko, professor of history at the college. · Upon completing the service year, students are awarded thirty credit hours under the title " Community Service. " These credit hours, along with an additional 12 hours of course work in the social sciences or other fields, can also apply toward a second major in the Community Service.

Just what students consider an ideal student governing body seems to be a difficult statement to,pin down. Responses vary widely in accordance with class, age, major, interests , .; N and personalities. Some students felt that class governments s: are outmoded organizations , while others felt that the class ~ Ill structure is needed to maintain spark iri the student body. ~ Interest in class elections has dwindled down to practically nothing in the past few years. Most class elections are total farces with many candidates for offices running unopposed. Other slots wait to be filled in by write-ins. Most students agree that the principle activity of all classes are the freshmen/sophomore, junior/senior dinner dances, respectively. Besides these affairs, interest or attendance of class meetings or other functions is minimal. The one exception was the Gong Show of last week, sponsored by the class of '78. The basic problem with the class .election disinterest is not easily determined. Several students referred to an article entitled, "The Student as a .!'Jigger," written by Jerry Farber. One particular line in that article came up repeatedly, "The students are, it is true, allowed to have a toy government run for the most part by Uncle Toms and concerned principally with trivia. The faculty and administrators decide what courses will be offered ; the . students get to choose their · Homecoming Qµeen. '' · But by no means is the above quotation the basis of some underground student movement motivated to undermine the existence of class government. In fact, we would venture to state that the majority of the Wilkes population is ·either unfamiliar or unaffected by Mr. Farber's article. The problem with class government as The Beacon sees it, is organizational. Class government officers are primarily dormitory students. Commuting students are rarities in the ranks of officers or members of class executive council. This situation alone alienates over one-half of the Wilkes' student population. Publicity and attendance to class meetings · is largely limited to a few interesteddorming students: The other problem is that tbere seems to be a definite set of boundaries surrounding class governments. Just how far the power of a class can go, and can be taken is unknown, even among ciass officers. Student Government dolefully hands each class its $2,000, ( the freshman class only gets $1,000. However, that amount of money -doesn't go too far. In fact, it is practically spent before it even reaches the class. A large percentage of the bulk sum must go to the annual dinner · dance, another adequate amount goes to order a couple of movies to be shown in the SUB, and the rest is squandered for the senior year expenses. The decisions on how class funds will be spent are made by approximately 8% of the· class , which means basically that the money allotted to 300-400 students is spent by the votes of anywhere from 10 to 20 students. The entire structure and purpose of class governments needs to be looked into. Some students felt that a central ac, tivity committee composed of representatives of all classes, and subservient to the total student government body, but make activities and outings morefrequent. At any rate class governments should not be accepted each year solely because they were instituted the year 'before, but should be restructured to meet the needs of the students they serve. ...... 0, \ I Letters I .BEACON BITS Frats: Not A_Real .

So here is Patrice's account of her educational experiences in New York. · How often do you have a businessman enter college after he has been in business? Not too often, but Paul Niedzwiecki, an art major from Wilkes-Barre, has been in business, and tells about it. "I was a partner in a nursery and garden care business. My friend and I had worked in the summers for an area businessman. When we realized we were almost running his company with our work and experience, we decided to open our o.wn company." You student teachers out there think you had it bad when you were set loose in "the real world." Probably the worst threat you had to cope with was a classroom full of hoods coming at you with switchblades. Big deal! Did you ever have to ride the New York subways during rush hour? You could get raped and never know it happened. That's what happened to me - , almost. . First of all, for those of you who never had the pleasure (?) of riding the New York subways during rush hour, I'll give you a little background information. For those of you who have, my deepest sympathy. Anyway, you know all those horrible things you hear about the subways, like people hanging out the doors trying to push their way onto an already jam-packed train? Well, they're true. Believe me. I wouldn't lie to you. I mean, when a train pulls in and you can get on without having to push and shove, it's not crowded. Paul and his friend, Ed Kopek, invested their savings into a dump truck, a pick-up truck, tools, and lawn mowers and then instituted the K&N SMding Service. During the summer of 1975, Paul and Ed had their hands foll with ari average of about 25 lawn_jobs a week. "When we first started, a friend in the sodding business was closing up show and gave us about five customers. Eventually through word of mouth and the quality of our work we were up to 25 a week." What is a lawn job? Well, it includes initial sodding, landscaping and then weekly cutting, raking and shrubbery clipping. " It's extra for fertilizer! " Paul commented. The K&N Sodding Service landscaped four new homes one summer. With the customer, the ambitious youths planned . and laid out the design on paper and 'then put in the necessary greenery. The sod came. from Hackettstown, . New Jersey and the shrubs were bought.at a local nursery. "It wasn 't too easy that summer," said Paul. "We were working 10 hours a day and if wasn't until halfway through the summer that we made enough money to clear our debts. The season lasts from March to October so it also interfered with ' school. That is why I decided to give up my half of the partnership at the end of the summer." Paul explained that to really get involved he would have to quit school. So he and Ed split, with Ed continuing in the business and Paul continuing at Wilkes. Freshman year, Paul was a business major because of the company. "I then realized, however, that for our company, I knew what I had to for that first year, so I decided to switch my major to art." So there I was in New York (I was on an accounting internship, by the way) . And was I nervous about my first day on the job? No - I was too worried that I wouldn't make it to work on the subway. It's bad enough getting on the train, but once you're on, the worst is not over. As you probably know, subways have doors on both sides of the train, but the doors only open on one side at each stop and you guess_ed it - I'd push my way onto the _train on one side and have to fight my way to the other side of the tram to get off. Now this 1:1-ay not sound so difficult since the width of your average subway 1s only about six feet. But when there are wall-to-wall people ( and I mean wall-to-wall), it's not so easy. I panic when I end up in the back of a crowded elevator now because I'm afraid I won't be able to get off at my floor. Subways do strange things to you. . . Getting on and off the subways are definitely the worst parts, but the ride in between is no pleasure, either. It's a real thrill to stand next to someone ( like two inches away) who ate a raw onion .for breakfast and has a cold, so they're breathing with their mouth open. And you'd be surprised how many people hit the bottle early in the morning. I was grateful that it was cold while I was in New York. I can imagine what it's like in the summer, if you know what I mean. Paul Niedzwiecki " Architectural landscaping involved a lot of art knowledge," said Paul. " I learned so much about color combination, which I used for arranging the flower planting, or symmetry and line. A yard is a picture." Last summer Paul worked as a lifeguard but still had a few lawn jobs of his own that he took care of on his days off. He said he liked being on his own in the work for a while. Paul, who is also the captain of the Wilkes Swim Team, plans to teach art after graduation. He said, however, that if there is no jobs for him in education, he will return to the business. Last year Paul captured a fifth place medal in the M.A.C. Swimming Championships at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. This year he took seventh place against tough competition. He holds the school diving record, which totals 410, which also is -better than former M.A.C. champion diver from Wilkes, Doug Krienke. ''I enjoyed my four years on the swim team, but the most im- portant thing I learned from it was that if big hearts could win races, the Wilkes swim team would always be number one." With Paul 's share of the company money, he has paid for · his entire tuition at Wilkes. This summer he has decided to do some lawn work on his own and, in a surprise switch he will also be working a few days for Ed, who now has expanded the business himself; Paul is. an efficient businessman and an intelligent lawn specialist and would surely appreciate any new jobs. Need some lawn care? Give Paul a call. t 1 - - - - - - - - ; -~ I 01-/ l3ABY I .THINK r lOVE YOOOO/';f And for those of you who have an interest in surfing, but can't quite afford to make it to the west coast - just try riding the subways standing up without holding on to anything. It requires extra-ordinary balance and stamina. You know, I never thought I'd be able to fall with all those people around propping me up. Now I know better. What really scared me was when they started making bets that I'd never make it back onto my feet. I could just see the headline in the Daily News, "Girl Trampled to Death on Subway.." Oh - back to what I started to tell you about almost getting raped and not.even knowing it. Well, there twas on one of these delightfully cozy subways one morning with purses, brief cases, elbows and whoknows-what jammed against my body. (It's a good thing I'm tall because I could at least get air to breath.) There happened to be something pressed against my derriere also, which I really didn't notice until some people filtered off and I had more space. Everytime I moved to get away from whatever it was against my derriere, it was still there. When I felt it starting to push between my legs ( it was a hand, by .the way ), I knew in an instant that this was no accident. Preceptive, wasn't I? I turned around abruptly, but the subway was so crowded, I don't know who the friendly person was and I was not particularly anxious to me~t this Don Juan anyway. So there you have it. That's what tp.e New York subways are like. It's an interesting way to meet people (personally, I didn't bother to try to get to know anyone). And now that all of you are probably sworn off subways for the rest of your lives, I have to add that -once you get used to the subway scene, it's not all that bad. Honest. 0 yeah - the internship was really great and I really liked New York, too. But anybody can tell you about New York. But how many people are going to tell you their true-to-life experiences in the New York subways? -oJOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, Wh~t is dark, hangs around Parrish Hall and Jeff Renoe, and prefers masculine endomorphs?

Wilkes College's own version of The Gong Show was presented "almost live" from the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts last Friday night.

Celebrity judges for ~e show Tropical Fish Club Revue Letter from page 4 Last week's editorial reference stating that fraternities "certainly could not adversely harm the campus life at Wilkes" implies that frats will either be beneficial or at the very least neutral in their effect on campus life. By their very "selective" nature, frats are the legalization of cliques and are thereby destructive to the Wilkes college family idea. The co-operation and communication necessary for the organization and innovation which result in a diversity of campus happenings are destroyed by this selectivity inherent in fraternities, on a campus such as Wilkes. Also, the idea that a trial basis could be utilized to determine the ef- --f fectiveness of frats on this campus is falacious in that once the doors are open to national frats they will attempt to perpetuate themselves, even if they are not being constructive. Those students who are pushing for fraternities on campus feel they are lacking a sense of community and belonging. If they put less energy into "formalizing" an institution and more energy into the end results they would like that institution to achieve, they would themselves·achieve that sense of community, involvement, and family that they so sorely miss.

Adele, a juggling and unicycle act; "The Skin I'm In;" the Unknown Comic and "Maestro Please.

Forensic Squad To .Compete The forensic squad of the Debate Union has entered into competition in a unique national speech-communication contest. The tournament is being run by Stetson University, Deland, Florida. What makes this tournament so unique is that it is conducted completely through the use of cassette tapes. Along with Wilkes Co.Hege thirty-five other colleges and universities representing over twenty states have entered this national forensic tournament. Stetson University reports that there are more than 400 student entries making this the second largest national speech tournament in the United States. The largest tournament is the National Individual Events tournament hosted this year by George Mason University. Wilkes specifically entered competition in the following areas: Persuasive Speaking, Expository Speaking, Prose Interpretation, and After-Dinner ' Speaking.

Available In Early April Have you ever wondered what goes into the selection of resident assistants? It is not an easy job, but the time has come once again to choose individuals for these positions. It is a rather thorough process since the job requires a certain type of person. The basic requirements for consideratiQli include an application, three recommendations from various sources, ( teachers, students, etc.) an interview with current RA'S as well as with Mrs. Conway and Joe Marchetti. The qualities looked for include whether or not an individual has common sense, if he can handle responsibility, and most important, the · ability to communicate with all types of personalities. Although an RA is not a trained psychologist, he or she should be able t:i help out the dorm members in any way possible; i.e . problems with school or otherwise. The process began on January 16 and at present, the information is being compiled anq the final results will be available during the first week in April. As there are many qualified candidates for the R.A. positions, there is a slight difficulty in choosing RA'S. For the 1977-78 school year, there are openings for 10 girls and only 5 guys. They must be chosen out of 80 applicants. So, it ,goes without • saying that it will be a job! Tickets for the Junior-Senior dinner dance are currently on sale. The event is scheduled for Friday, April 1, and the ticket price is $20 per couple. Sales will be held from 11 to 1 in the Commons and from 5 to 7 in NMD, Monday through Friday.

While there, the team practiced at the Callaway Garden Golf Club, one of the finest in the country. The group included some 12 athletes, alumni, and friends of the college. USUC FALCONE BEVERAGE Ill 10 Upsets In playoff action earlier this week, USUC IV upended undermanned Ginos, 68 to 58 behind Mike Superczinski and his 27 points, and The Sixers zipped Sons of Softee by a score of 75 to 64 with Kenny Sickler tossing in 18 points to lead the winners. This sets up the championship game to be played later in the week at a site to be named, probably the Franklin Street Palestra. The game is rated a tossup by many, even though the Sixers did beat USUC earlier in the season, but the USUC'ers are peaking right about now so our pick is the boys from Nanticoke by a hesitant two points .

Basketball season seems to have come and gone and for the Colonelette cage team the 1976- TEAMWORK - Karen Olney supports teammate Mary Jo Frail as Frail struggles to reach the bas.ket. Both girls worked well together on the court for the Colonelettes this year and were' recently named to the second team of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association All-Star team. By Dotty Martin .77 season proved to be a very frustrating one. However, if one looks beyond the disappointing 816 record with which the Wilkes women finished, one may find some bright spots in that long, long season. First of all, the Blue and Gold girls made history on February 27 of this year when they travelled to Scranton and defeated the girls of Marywood College, 76-54, thus capturing their seventh win of the season. This was the first time in the history of women's basketball at Wilkes College a team had won more than six games. Secondly, the female Colonels won their first game of the Middle Atlantic Conference this year which was something no Wilkes women's cage team had done before. The girls defeated Gettysburg College and advanced to the second round before going down to defeat. And now - two.members of that infamous Colonelette cage team have been named to the second team of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association (NPWIAA ) All-Star team. Mary Jo Frail, a freshman psychology major from Wilkes: Barre·, served as the playmaker of this year's team. Counted on by her teammates to do the heavy scoring, Miss Frail did just that as she racked up 226 total points this seasin for a 10. 7 points per game scoring average. Mary Jo made herself wellknown among the athletes at Wilkes College way back in September when she donned a Colonel field hockey uniform and took over at the right wing slot for the charges of Coach Gay Meyers. After dazzling both fans and opponents for an entire sea~on with her fancy stickwork, Frail received Honorable Mention to the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Team. A 1976 graduate of Meyers High School, Mary Jo was also very active in sports during her school years. She played varsity basketball for four years, serving as tri-captain her senior year-and being named Most Valuable Player that same year. A four year member of the hockey team, she also served as captain of that team in her senior year and was named Outstanding Offensive Player in her junior year. She was member of the Meyers softball team for three years and a member of the volleyball team for one year. Karep Olney is a junior accounting major from Monroe, Connecticut. Moving from her usual forward position to an unfamiliar guard spot this year was not the easiest thing in the world for Karen to do; however, her determination dominated and ·she was able to master the new position. Even while playing at the _ guard slot, Olney was a heavy rebounder for the Colonelettes, controlling the boards . in many games. She also -scored a total of 179 points for an 8.5 points per game scoring average. · Karen has been a member of the Blue and Gold cage team for three years now and was named Most Valuable Player in her sophomore year. A 1974 graduate of Masuk High School, Olney was a four year member of the women's . basketball team there serving as captain during her senior year and receiving an Outstanding Athlete award in her junior year. · She also played hockey for four years in high school, serving as team captain in her senior year and was a three year member of the softb'all team. Both Mary Jo Frail and Karen Olney will be seen on the softball field for Wilkes this year a The Wilkes College Wrestling Team scored a record six points last weekend in the NCAA National Wrestling Tournament. It was the Colonels s.econd appearance in the tourney and they improved substantially over last year's showing. Coaches John Reese and Brooke Yeager along with senior wrestlers Lon Balum, Bruce Lear, and Dave Gregrow flew to Norman, Oklahoma and the campus of the. University of Oklahoma to compete. The Colonels jumped off to a fine start in the preliminaries, garnering four matches -in a row and placing 16th after the first day of competition. _ . Bruce Lear initiated the success when he pinned 8th seed Tim Granowich of the University of Florida in 6:10 in the 142 pound class. This match was held prior to the first round preliminaries because of the abundance of wrestlers. · Lon Balum got the Colonels first victory in the preliminary round when he clamped Rick Stone of Alabama in 6:30 in the 134 pound class. . Lear then came back in the prelims to record his second tourney win by decisioning National Division III champion Steve Cavayaro of Binghamton 14-10. The Colonels fourth win was picked up by Dave Gregrow at 190. He beat Jim Washington of the University of Southern Illinois by a 149 score. All three of the Colonel entrants advanced into the second round of the preliminaries but they had scored their last victory. Balum was pinned in 7: 10 by Don Brighton of Michigan State, Le"1r was decisioned 7-4 by Ohio State's Andy Despato, and Gregrow was clamped in 50 seconds by defending national champ ·and number one seed Evan Johnson of the University of Minnesota. Both Lon and Dave received second chances in the wrestle-back consolations but both again met with defeat. Balum was outpointed 126 by Fran Aftentranger of Cal State at Bakersfield who eventually placed third and Gregrow was decisioned 10-3 by Boise State's Steve Needs. "I was very pleased with the team's performance," stated Reese. "I was glad to see each one of our entrants win at least one bout and we proved that we can stay with the best teams in the country." Iowa State captured the team title followed by Oklahoma State and Iowa. The top 10 was rounded out by Minnesota, Oregon State, Wisconsin, Lehigh, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Kentucky. Nick Gallo was absolutely phenomenal and hardly broke a sweat while copping the 126 pound crown and was named the tourney's Outstanding Wrestler. The Hofstra grappler's only dual loss was to Lon Balum earlier in the year. · Acornley Reese Gailis_More Honors Wilkes Wrestling mentor John Reese had more honors bestowed upon him during this past week. The veteran coach had to hustle back to Pennsylvania from the NCAA National Tournament in Oklahoma last Saturday night in order to be inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The special recognition came during the state high school wrestling tournament at Penn State University. Reese was selected for this honor based on his contribution to wrestling in the state. Reese was also recently named the Eastern Representative to the National Executive Committee of -Wrestling Coaches in the U.S. The nation is divided into eight regions and one persons is elected to serve a four year term in each region. "Both of these honors are truly gratifying and flattering," commented Reese. " It is really nice to be honored by my peers." The Wilkes coach is surely deserving of the honors. Reese has brought the wrestling program along slowly and is now one of the best small college programs in the country. He has compiled a 245-47 record including 14 MAC championships, an NCAA division title, and is also a member. of lhe NCAA Rules Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Aikman said, however, that this segment "is most unpredictable" as to how much will be collected. The campaign in the community was kicked off March 2 and is headed by Chairman Earl McCarty, vice-president of the Wyoming National Bank of Wilkes-Barre. Under the ~hairman there are nine divisions with division leaders. In each division there are four to five captains who are responsible for three to four workers and every campaign worker is· assigned roughly five ·people from whom they are to seek pledges. All the above people involved are from the community. It should be noted that only a small minority of these volunteers are members of the Alumni. "They are interested people of all walks of life who know the need for the institution in the valley," said Aikman. A divisional system was set up to helI> stimulate a kind of competitiveness between each division. This gives the campaigners the incentive to get the most money pledged for his division. The campaign is four weeks long and will run through March 30. In between are four progress meetings, held every Wednesday, to check on each division and give support to the weaker areas. The r e·s ponsibility of each campaigner is to approach ·his four or five assigned past contributor s and on a one-to-one basis, get a pledge. This pledge can be paid off in anyway that best suits the contributor. Art Hoover, director of alumni and community affairs, is heading the Alumni campaign which started two weeks ago. There are now over 10,000 members of the Alunmi and it is hoped that their goal will be reached. Dr. James Rodechko of the history department is chairman of the college family campaign. This group represents over 300 people who are employed as faculty members, administrators, and maintenance servicemen on campus. " Right now we really ·have to go out and work," said Aikman and commented that "it is going to be tough. " In past campaigns there was usually a 97 percent return on all pledges made . "This is a good indication of the responsiveness of the pledges," Aikman feels. Last year 's goal of $325,000 ($25,000 less than this year ) was reached. " This drive is important to us and we are grateful to the community members who serve year after year," commented Capin. �... Work_ shop Will Aid Class Atmosphere <II CJI ,a a.

Biggest Selection Best Prices~~~~ On DiarTlonds VANSCOY Duimond Salon Gateway Shopping Center, (Near Jewelcor) Wilkes College will hold an orientation program for teachers tentatively on March 25 and 26. This Teacher Effectiveness Workshop (T.E.W.) was devised in order to improve the relationship .between the student and the teacher at Wilkes College. Dr. Bruce Berryman, acting chairman of the Environmental Science Department, is the committee chairman of the T. E, W. and has high hopes for its success, Berryman said, "Some of the problems we hope to work out are new course formats, the testing and grading system we are presently using, and we are going to try to improve teacher effectiveness. I am not condemning the teachers or the teaching system at Wilkes, but I am saying that there is always room for improvement. " A questionnaire was sent to all the professors in the college and the response was overwhelming. Most of them feel that such a program would be beneficial and they would attend it. The T.E.W. will be held on the Wilkes campus and is being made possible through a federal grant from the National Action Committee centered at the University of Rochester in New York. The workshop will be under the guidance of Wayne Paulson, an expert on teaching methods. The workshop will be attended on a voluntary basis and all teachers are welcome. Dr. Richard Rees, assistant professor of Education, has been a prominent factor in setting up this workshop. He has served as the intermediary between Wilkes and the National Action Committee. According to Rees, the program "will deal with human relations in the form of teachers working better with groups. " The Teacher Effectiveness Workshop is an outgrowth of a program held at Wilkes last year called Operation Future. Berryman said, "It was a tremendous success and it covered every aspect of the college picture while looking at all college problems. The T.E.W, will focus on a few specific problems.'' Berryman hopes to hold such a program at Wilkes every few years in order to keep up with more proficient teaching methods. He said that if such a program could help only three or four teachers, it could affect many students that have those teachers. Below is a questionnaire dealing with the T.E.W. Dr. Berryman is hoping to get the students response to such a program because it is the students who will be affected by it. Fill out the questionnaire and dropit in the Beacon Box on the third floor of Weckesser Hall. All results will be forwarded to Dr. Berryman. •.

VolunteersFor Literacy Offer Training Workshop A workshop to train volunteers to teach adults to read and write will be held this month at 251 South River Street, Ross Hall. The 10-hour course is open to interested volunteers and is · sponsored by Volunteers for Literacy, a recently formed organization housed on the campus. Sessions will be held 10 a.in. to ftp.m. on March 19 and 3 to 7 p.m. on March 20. No previous teaching experience is required. According to the staff of the Literacy program, "At least 5,000 adults in Luzerne County can _neither read nor write beyond a fourth grade level. By setting aside only two or three hours a week, volunteers can aid in the solution of one of our major social problems and receive the personal satisfaction of teaching an adult to read." At the completion of the workshop, volunteers will receive tutor certification and will be assigned students on an "eachone-teach-one" basis. Teaching materials will cost $5 and will be available at the workshop. Workshops to train volunteers to teach English to speakers of other languages, will · be scheduled at a later date.

Commuter Council and Interdormitory Council are . both overwhelmingly in favor of the idea, and Student Government hasn't taken a definite stand on it yet The man that has been credited with the idea js Steve Connelly, a freshman at Wilkes and a dorm student at the Hotel Sterling. Connelly claims that the whole idea began quite casually in a discussion with a few guys who thought that fraternities might add to campus life at Wilkes~He said that the group elected officers and he was named president and spokesman. Connelly laughingly added that, "my job as spokesman hasn't been easy, and at times the whole fraternity-sorority issue has been termed Connelly's group, which it isn't." He also commented that most of the_guys he has met are very enthusiastic about the idea and feels that it would be a great way to bring people together. The purpose of the fraternity and sorority system, according to Connelly, "would be to give students, especially freshmen, a feeling of belonging ... they would be more than just names on a roster."

Dean Hobrock, once very active in sororities herself and now faculty advisor to Theta Delta Rho sorority, bas assisted the group in gathering information about sororities. According to Connelly, the membership to the fraternities and sororities would be open to everyone. "Many people feel," added Connelly;- "that frats are discrimitory, but they can't be legally, howeyer, frats are selective." He said that the organization wants to have members that are willing and able to work for its benefit, just like any other organization.

The Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity that Connelly has been working closely with is a mixture of both social and service projects. The group sponsors scholarships, student loans, and community service projects.

With a burst of enthusiasm, Connelly added, "I think fraternities and sororities would add to the overall college experience. at Hotel Sterling fabridand·--1 and TAPES Ralston put the committee in touch with the Alpha Chi Rho representative, and the wheels started turning. "V Ill ca Main Street, Pittston, Pa. �:Adhoc Committee Keeps ~ The Wheels Turning It isn't easy to start the wheels turning, to start the ball rolling or to get a proposal off the ground. We all think at sometime in our lives, that there is some thing, or some idea, we would like to see instituted or irradicated. But realistically what usually happens to the idea ... we shelve it for a later date when we have more time. The ad hoc committee on fraternities and sororities hasn't \ost that vim and vigor, in fact they were never without it. They have been questioned, interrogated and criticized, r ight in this very paper, but they haven't given up. Under the direction of Steve Connelly, the group has effectively researched and handled the issue. They have gone through all the proper channels and have been reaping the profits. The idea isn't just a dream anymore. It is a very talked about and debated issue among several campus leaders. Connelly, the modest red-headed spokesman of the group, has presented his proposal time and time again, with the very same enthusiasm he possessed the very first time he presented it. The proposal seems to possess an endless amount of benefits to the campus. If, perchance, the idea didn't catch on after it was instituted for a few years, what really would be lost? Fraternities and sororities are the nucleus of campus life in many well-known institutions, and certainly could not adversely harm the campus life at Wilkes. Time and time again students criticize campus life at Wilkes. Sometimes it seems like it should be recorded onto a long-playing recrod just to preserve vocal chords. And time and time again we hear a student comment that, "someone · should do_ something around here. " Now somebody is, and those somebodies need the support of the entire campus. The group has proposed many promising ideas and projects, and have begun work on several of them. J ust what will come out of this group of students' extensive and diligent work is unknown at this time, but it certainly deserves thought A lot of people have put a lot of time into something that began as a phenomenon close to a dream and now that it is so much more than j~t a dream it deserves attention ... a lot of attention. And we hope that it gets the attention it so deserves.

ReporterFalls For Dorothy By Eddie White Who is your favorite personality or motion picture or TV star? Whether it's Robert Redford or Farrah Fawcett-Majors, did you ever meet him or her? Well, I met my favorite person two weeks ago. The Ice Capades were performing in Philadelphia, at the Spectrum, the home of the successful Flyers and 76ers. And like those two teams, this show was a winner. But the one person everyone came to see, ( including yours , truly), was the queen of the show, Dorothy Hamill. Yes, Dorothy Hamill, the 1976 Olympic Gold Medal Champion, is now skating with the Ice Capades. She has been skating for 11 years, which means she started when she was eight. Dorothy was the United States Senior Ladies Champion in 1974, '75, and '76. She also won three gold medals at the 1976 World Championships, held at Gottenborg, Sweden. In addition to starring in two specials for TV, she also makes commercials for "Short and Sassy." As we arrived in Philly, (that's what they call it down here), I had a feeling this was going to be some kind of a day. First thing I did when I entered the Spectrum, was to buy a Ice Capades program, which included a large color poster of you-know-who. When I looked at the program, I saw that the petite superstar from Riverside, Conn., would perfotrn in the eighth act of the first half of the show. After the third act, my friend and I sneaked down behind the curtain and waited. Soon after a guard came by and told us to move. We moved to the side of the curtain and continued Hamill would shake hands with to wait. people in the front of the ice at the And then, in the middle of the end of the show.

Manuscript Editor Appeals For Student Body Support To The College Student Body: With this year's publication, the campus literary magazine, Manuscript, will witness its thirthieth anniversary. What is so astounding about our age is that few literary magazines across the country can boast of such longevity. - Manuscript dates to 1947 when a handful of interested students wanted to find a voice for artistic endeavors on campus. This desire led to small yet promising collection of short stories and the birth of the magazine. Today, after decreasing monetary allotments and other problems, the magazine is still functioning . The Manuscript offers any interested artist on campus the opportunity to have his or her work seriously reviewed and selected for publication. If the magazine is to see anotheranniversaryitmusthave the support of the administration, faculty, and student body. We are nearing publication date but the staff has yet tp receive a substantial amount of material. As of date, we have been approached by one visual artist.

Kinney, travelled to Shippensburg State College from March 11-12 for the Cumberland Valley Forensics Tournament and returned as the fifth ranked team at the tournament. The combined efforts of all the Union members allowed Wilkes to win the fifth place sweepstakes trophy. Sweepstakes awards are made on the basis of the overall performance of the team, with each team member's performance receiving a certain number of points in each round of each event. The points of all the team members are totaled and compared with the totals of the other schools competing. Wilkes had the fifth highest point total. The Debate Union's fifth place finish is particularly impressive since it was won at one of the largest tournaments.,. held this year. Forty-one schools from over twenty states competed in the tournament, and there were over 360 individual contestants. Also, many of the schools brought bigger teams than did Wilkes, but Union members were still able to surpass them in total points. The Cumberland Valley trophy is the second sweepstakes award won by Union members this season. Last December they brought home the third place sweepstakes trophy from the H.L. Mencken Forensics Tournament at · Towson State University (11.iaryland). As indicated by the fifth place finish, individual Union members did very well. Donna Korba, a freshman, won a trophy for second place in informative speaking. Sophomore Maryanne Bartoszek brought home a fourth place trophy also in informative speaking. In addition to these trophies, Wilkes also captured two other awards at Shippensburg. Donna BEER Korba qualified for the National Individual Events Finals in persuasive speaking. David Evans also qualified for the finals in impromptu speaking. The Finals tournament will be held at_ George Mason University in Washington, D.C., at the end of April. So far, seven Union members are eligible to compete at the Finals. Other Debate Union members who competed at the tournament and contributed valuable points toward the Union's fifth place finish were Kim Witherow, Marcia Stratton, Davida Roberts and Steve Jurewicz. Many fine forensics schools competed at the Cumberland Valley Tournament. Among these were the University of Maryland, Washington and Jefferson, St. John's University, Temple, Virginia Polytechnical Institute, Western Mar.yland University, George Washington University, Penn State, Emerson College, Eastern Michigan University, Fordham University, and Suffolk University. Dr. Kinney said he is very proud of the Union's fifth place finish since it shows a total team effort. Also, it shows Wilkes can compete against and defeat the top forensic schools in the nation. The award goes far to establish Wilkes as a strong forensics powerhouse. . This weekend the Debate Union will travel to Seattle, Washington, for the Pi Kappa Delta National Tournament and ConvEintion. Wilkes will be officially inducted into this national honorary forensic society and will pick up its charter. Inclusion . in Pi Kappa Delta shows colleges and universities across the nation that Wilkes has a strong committment to forensics and that Wilkes is a power to be reckoned with in all phases of forensic competition. 1 So BEER The Wilkes-Hahnemann Program, along with three other cooperative medical education programs in the state of Pennsylvania, may soon be receiving support from the state in addition to funds currently being supplied by the federal government. In describing the move, Dr. Ralph Rozelle, project director and dean of health sciences, stated, "We are beginning to approach the state legislature." He also said that he was "looking forward to the state considering Me d Tee h Ma,·ors Don A Tr Ip . Ie p· erS On a , I.t y .

Two Wilkes students are presently at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, fulfilling the final requirements for a B.S. degree in medical technology.

At the General Hospital, the laboratory is not really a single department. Separate areas of the lab contain different equipment and personnel, with each section being responsible for a different task. Med tech students are rotated throughout the lab during the year, eventually learning each phase of the operation. Departments include hematology, blood banking, urina.l ysis, serology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, and microbiology. The hospital experience is an invaluable learning process, as students commented that they have been exposed to things they could never have experienced in a college atmosphere.

Wilkes, in the northeastern sector of the state, sends approximately twenty-five students per year to Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelpilia. There is a Lehigh Valley Program, sending about ten students per year to Hahnemann, and Gannon College, in the northwestern sector of the state, also involves about twenty-five students. Widener College will begin next year with ten students, concerned mainly with non-Philadelphia counties in the southeast sector. "The plan is to try to cover most areas of the state," Dr. Rozelle explained. •'Other programs are visualized, but we don't know how many will become realities." These projects are all concerned specifically with Primary Care or Family Medicine, and are aimed at relieving physician shortages and maldistribution. Students who enroll in the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program complete six years of studies, dividing the time between the two schools and, toward the end of this period, in Wilkes-Barre hospitals. After the six-year period is completed, a three-year residency is also required. Rozelle also mentioned that the telecommunications network, being set up at Wilkes under the sponsorship of the federal government, will play an important part of the Hahnemann Program, providing an audiovisual link between Wilkes, Hahnemann, and the other schools. The television facilities, to be utilized by all departments at Wilkes College, were primarily planned for this direct-link purpose. There is a smiliar system currently being used between Logan Airport in Boston and the Harvard Medical School. A noteworthy point is that the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program is the first of its kind in the entire country for Primary Care Medicine.

Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Their Editors? I regret to acknowledge the fact that the Independent has snatched yet another scoop right out from under my naive little nose. Last Sunday, my i_dol Don Zimmerman penned a story about the resignation of Wilkes assistant basketball coach Jim Zardecki. I can't figure out where he got that information or who was his informant. It obviously wasn't Jim. He didn' t know about it until he read it in the paper. The Independent story said that Jim had quit his Wilkes post and was seeking a head coaching spot in a local high school. In a conversation with Jim just a few weeks ago, Jim had told me that he was looking for a high school job but that he wouldn't leave Wilkes unless he found one. I'll take a direct quote any day but I called head coach Rodger Bearde just to double check. "The story is complet~ly false," stated Bearde. "Jim is still onthe basketball coaching staff at Wilkes." So there we have a few boring little facts obviously regarded as incidental by the Independent sports stafL Not only was the story blatantly false, it was cheap. It came across as nothing more than a glorified advertisement for Jim 's talents in the high school market. It made Jim look bad and is just another example of the bar room gossip that the Independent passes off as fact. I find it amazing that the Sunday Independent gets away with publishing garbage on their sports pages. It is even more amazing when you consider how consistant they are. The Wilkes-Barre Sunday paper is certainly appropriately named. They seem to operate "Independent" of any facts.

The Okies not only have deer and antelope frolicing on the range but also will have the best wrestlers in the country cooking in their gym this weekend. The Colonels destination is the University of Oklahoma to participate in the NCAA National Division I wrestling championships. The preliminary action starts today and culminates with the championship fil'lals on Saturday night. The Wilkes College Connection will carry continuous updates on the action. (826-1135 ). Making the trip for the Colonels will be seniors Lon Balum (134), Bruce Lear (142 ), Dave Gregrow (190), and although sophomore sensat ion Bart • Cook ( 177 ) qualified for the tourney, he will be unable to participate because of a very painful cyst. He was probably the Colonels chief hope for a medal and it's a shame that he will be delegated to observer status. Wilkes has only ever had two place winners i11 the " big time" Joe Carr, 3rd at 167 in 1966; and• Joe Wiendl, 5th at 160 in 1969. The team's fourth place finish in the EIWA tournament at Syracuse University two weeks ago was met with mixed emotion. The powerfu~ Colonels improved over last season's sixth place finish and doubled the number of National Tournament qualifiers, but were in excellent position to finish as high as second. "I felt that we were tl]e second best team at the tourney," stated Colopel mentor John Reese. "I was a bit disappointed with our place finish." The 1976-77 11dition of the Colonel grapplers was perhaps the best team in Wilkes history and they were wrestling up a storm until they ran into the proverbial brick wall in the semifinal rounds. They still had eight of a possible ten wrestlers, still alive and were sitting comfortably in second place behind seemingly unbeatable Lehigh. In pre-tournament forecasts the Colonels had all ten wrestlers seeded. By the time the curtain fell in the action the Colonels had 8 place winners with 1-2nd, 2-3rd, 2-4th, 2-5th and 1-6th place awards to tfieir credit. The first tw'o Colonels to bite the dust were both the only freshmgn in the lineup. At 118 Glynn Mansfield (8th seed) suffered a 17-5 mauling in the prelims in the hands · of unseeded Randy Brungard of Franklin & Marshall. Brungard got pinned in the quar terfinals by eventual champion Gene Mills of Syracuse and that ended any of Glynn's hopes for a comeback in the co ns olat io ns. Inexperi en ce signaled the end for Glynn as he found himself down 7-1 after the first period. , Inexperience wasn't the only problem faced by the other Colonel yearling in the lineup. Mark Densberger's' ribs were tender as he dropped his first match to Navy's Larry Kihlstadius 11-5. However, Kihlstadius was victorius in the next round but Densberger ( 4th seed ) dropped a 14-4 decisin to Steve Leslie of Colgate. Mark simply wasn't up to par physically to the rigors of tournament action. With these two wrestlers lost in the early going, the Colonels had their backs to the wall. For a while it seemed as though they were up to the challenge with all eight surviving until the disastrous semi-finals where seven of the eight met with defeat. Gene Clemons, seeded 4th at 167, was wrestling well until he met eventual champ Mark Lieberman of Lehigh in the semi's and got clamped at 7:24. Gino racked up his shoulder during that loss and then dropped a 4-3 heartbreaker to Pete Englehardt of Syracuse, but came away with a 6th place medal. Senior guad-captain Rick Mahonski, a runnerup last year, finished a disappointing fifth at 126. He was seeded 4th and was pinned by eventual runnerup Greg Shoemaker of ESSC in the DID GINO REALLY LOSE? - Just moments after heartbreaking double losses in the EIWA semifinals, Gene Clemons receives consolation from giggly Carli Yeager. Gene's sensitivity and Carli's innocence make for communication on a very special level. In love , there is no loser. 0 WE.EflM semi's. Rick showed a lot of character and fought his way back in the consolations and still had a shot at 3rd place until he was pinned in the consolation semi's by Princeton's Kirk Dabney after leading 4-0 with only about a minute left in the match. Rick earned his fifth place trophy by decisioning Andy Sama of Columbia 8-7. The Colonels other fifth place trophy was won by junior Greg MacLean who was seeded fifth. Greg defeated 4th seed Bill Miron of Princeton in a 3-3, 3-2 (OT ) decision, but was yet another Colonel to be defeated in the semifinals by eventual champ John Althans of Navy, 9-4. Greg too bounced back in the consolations and decisioned Colgate's Lloyd Woodruff for the second time in the tournament, to earn his trophy. Colonel heavyweight Dan House lost twice to the same man but not before he garnered a fourth place cup. Dan, seeded 4th, lost in the prelims to Nick Mygas of Navy 10-9. Mygas had to hang on to his early big lead as House came roaring back in the . final period but came up a point short. House received new life and preceMed to destroy the second, third and fourth seeds with two pins and a decision, but again faced Mygas and the unseeded wrestler again edged Dan by a single point 5-4, thereby edging House from the national scene. Bruce Lear, seeded 6th at 142 finished fourth , but qualified for nationals on the virtue of being seiected by the coaches as the · wildcard choice. Bruce, the quadcaptain, survived until the semifinals without a loss when he met Steve Traylor of Yale. Traylor · won the championship despite being seeded seventh. Lear lost his bid for third place in a thrilling 4-2 loss to Tom Bauer of Navy. Bruce had Bauer down on his back but the clock ran out before he could pin him. It was a tough way to lose for the gutsy senior . At 177, third seeded Bart Cook lost only once but again it was in the crucial semi-finals. Cook was flying high until he was pinned in 45 seconds by Princeton's 2nd seed Keith Ely. Bart was making a move and was knocked off 1 balance and Ely had his piri · before they even broke a sweat. Bart earned a shot at the NCAA tourney by hammering Rich McPhee of Army in the consolation finals. Senior quad-captain Dave Gregrow was fighting injuries as he captured the other Colonel third place trophy. Dave, despite a nagging cut in his mouth, hammered everyone he faced except the stubborn second seeded Greg Cooper of Navy. Again a Colonel faltered in the semi's as Cooper ended 3rd seeded Gregrow's hopes for a championship with a 2-0 squeaker. It was the fifth time for a Gregrow-Cooper matching and each wrestler knew the other inside-out. It was a virtual stalemate but Cooper got the nod. Gregrow mauled Colgate's Mike Morrell to nail down third place an an NCAA invite. The Colonels highest finisher was gutsy quad-captain Lon Balum. Fighting off badly bruised ribs, the second seeded grappler breezed through every foe until he was clamped by the tourney's outstanding wrestler George Medina of Syracuse in the finals. Lon was the only Colonel to survive the paralyzing grip of J f. \Zo'-'""\) ~~ PlAIN I • the semifinals by decisioning Kevin McHugh of Columbia, 7-3, to advance to the finals . Medina proved to be too much for everyone, including top-seed Bob Sloand of Lehigh. The Colonels substantially improved over last years' initial venture at Easterns, but still should have finished higher than they did. Lehigh engineered their third successive championship and were clearly the class of the field . Navy finished a distant second with Ivy League champion Princeton placing third, only a single point ahead of Wilkes. Perhaps th e Lehigh SID summed it up best when he stated that the Lehigh wrestling program is now at a point where they are looking primarily toward the National Tournament and using the EIWA as a stepping stone toward national acclaim. Whereas Division I infant Wilkes is looking primarily toward a successful showing at Easterns. It is only a matter of time until Wilkes grows to the stature of it's Eastern counterpart Lehigh. The Colonel wrestling program is on the verge of national prominance under the expertise of Coach John Reese. Lon Balum was the Colonels most successful entrant in the Eastern Tournament March 3, 4, 5 at Syracuse University. Lonny, one of the Colonel's quadcaptains, had an extremely successful campaign despite some bruised ribs. Earlier in his career he had won two MAC championships and was a third place finisher in the NCAA Division III tourney in 1974. Lonny really used his head (above) and was the Colonels' highest finisher (left) with his second place finish . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Buchwald has been called by Time magazine "the most successful humorous columnist in the United States." His column appears in over 400 newspapers in the United States and all over the world. In addition to his syndicated column, Buchwald has written a number of books including: "Washington is Leaking, I Never Danced at the White House and the Establishment is Alive and Well in Washington. Buchwald wrote ·a play which opened on Broadway in 1970. "Sheep on the Runway" also opened in Washington. The play received many favorable reviews. Buchwald's popularity -is not _limited to only writing. He has performed on records, on television and before audiences. Buchwald gained his early experience in journalism during his service with the Marines. As a student after the service, Buchwald became managing editor of 'the University of Southern California's humor magazine. His experience in writing columns began with "Europe's Art Buchwald Lighter Side" in 1952, which he wrote for the European and American editions of The New York Herald Tribune. atan Ma rch 3, 1977 Spiraling Costs Hit W ilkes Spiraling costs, a spiraling ·economy and spiraling tuition costs seems to be the general course of affairs in the entire nation. President Capin is presenting a recommendation to the Board of. Trustees that Wilkes College raise its tuition $200 for the 197778 school year, along with a room and board hike of $50. Comparitively, Wilkes is fairing well when practically every other college in the state is also confronting its students with tuition and room and board hikes. Franklin and Marshall College is increasing its tuition $345. and King's College, right down the street, is sporting a $100 increase. King's is also increasing its student activ~ty_fee by $20. Wilkes is dead set against raising extraneous fees and is still pushing for a quality education for its students. President Capin commented that, "the tuition increase is being made necessary by the inflating economy and that cutbacks have been made, wherever possible to keep the costs down." Wilkes is still one of the least expensive private colleges in the state of Pennsylvania. Capin also added that student aid would be increased by $40,000 making the total student aid the college gives out to reach the $500,000 mark. Part-time and , graduate rates will also be raised by $5. a credit hour. Statistically this all means that student aid will be increased by 8.7 percent, room and board will be increased by 3.6 percent, and tuition will be increased by 8 percent. SALARY INCREASES The increased tuition will go towards provided long-awaited salary increments for Wilkes College employees, improved Blue Cross coverage for these employees and also maintenance and general improvements of the many Wilkes College buildings. Several new academic programs are being proposed, including a broadening of the present Computer Science Program .and the opening of a Communications major. When asked about the students' feeling the brunt of the spiraling economy Capin stated that "everything possible is being done to keep tuition and room and board hikes to a minimum. " One may ask where does it end, and what can be done to stop the soaring costs of existence. The answer is simple and blunt, "not much." It is sure to end somewhere at sometime but just when, where, -and how no one seems to know for sure. . Since that time, -Buchwald moved to Washington and started a career in writing about the happenings in the nation's capitaL Buchwald's success as · a columnist and lecturer is due to his sense of humor and satire. Walter Lippman said that Buchwald is "one of the best satirists of our time." Juniors To Dost Gong Show On Mareh 18 In The CPA By Pam Long How would you like to do something really crazy on Friday night, March 18? If this proposal sounds agreeable, then mark the calendar and get set for the very first "Gong Show" ever held on the Wilkes campus. According to Frank Scan. carella, manager of the event, the sole purpose of the show is to provide amusement for the audience and "something crazy to do" for the participants. It offers st_udents the opportunity to air those " unusual" talents they possess and to perhaps satisfy their burning desire for fame and fortune. And indeed fame is not all which lies in store for the winners! Scancarella also anticipated the prizes to be awarded which may include trophies, and for the grand prize, the enticing figure of $51.32. The judges, Dr. Turoczi, Dr. RQdechko, and _Elaine Slobinski will be present to evaluate each act fairly, with John Forte acting as Master of Ceremonies. Of the 42 applications sent out, a discou_raging nine have made their way back to Frank Scancarella. He mentioned that he would like to see all of them returned, but that due to the time factor involved, the number of acts will be limited to 20. At present it seems word of this opportunity hasn't yet reached all of the " hidden stars" on campus, and surely, a little modesty never stopped anyone. Students are urged to turn out and show their stuff. Applications in present circulation are the only ones which will be available to participate and all are reminded that Friday, March 4, is the deadline for submitting them. Remember, the time is 7: 30 on Friday night, March 18, at the Center for the Performing Arts and the admission is free. To all who attend or participate is promised an unquestionably "crazy" experience. Shown are some of the students who will be assisting with the campaign luncheons.

College Launches Ca111pa ign 177 Campaign '77, the annual fund raising drive of the college, opened yesterday as a kickoff luncheon was held at the Hotel Sterling. Earl Macarty, vice-president of the Wyoming National Bank in Wilkes-Barre. According to Director of Development James Aikman, the overall quest of the campaign ($350,000), will be attempted to be raised through the community, alumni, the college family, aqd other sources. A veteran of many Wilkes fund drives, Macarty is optimistic about the challenge presented by Campaign '77. "The college is important to the life of .the community," said Macarty, "and I feel, as has\been the case in past years, that they will continue their fine support." Chairman of the community phase which began yesterday is Report luncheons will be held on successive Wednesdays with the final report to be made March 30. Assisting Macarty as vicechairman of the community phase is Atty. Gene Roth. President Robert Capin explained the purpose of the campaign as being two-fold-to raise additional financial support for the scholarship program and to reinforce the financial status of the institution for the purpose of off-setting costs that have increased far beyond income derived from t11ition. · �~wc~----_- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Seminar On Mentally Ill ~ Recommendation On Frats Scheduled For March 16 ~ Is Passed .Overwhelmingly 11' 0. cu ..... 0- A recommendation to support a M fraternal system -on campus for a ~ trial period was overwhelmingly ia passed by the Inter-Dormitory ~ Council at their meeting Sunday night. This recommendation will be given to Dean's Council for their reviewing. Steve Connolley, representing the Ad Hoc Investigating Committee, spoke before the council and answered questions that some of the representatives had. He explained that the fraternity or sorority would operate as both a college and community service organization and · a social organization. He also strongly emphasized that a fraternal system would be a part of the college family and would not split it up. IDC now joins Commuter Council as being in favor of a fraternal system on campus. President Bruce Lear reported that Dean's Council has also requested IDC to clearly redefine the college party policy. Since the spring break is next week Lear postponed the request until the next meeting so that anything completed at this meeting would not be lost or forgotten over the break. It was reported that a couch was stolen out of Slocum Hall in which the thief simply walked in, took the couch and drove away. Joe Marchetti, Housing Director, said, "On paper, the men in Slocum are responsible for the couch ." Lear strongly . · suggested that all outside dorms lock their doors. More . complaints against maintenance were reported to Marchetti. These complaints dealt with maintenance men refusing to do a job and just checking over a job but not completing any work. Under committee reports, the BEER visitation committee is now going to take steps in drafting a proposal of revision in the current policy. The letters written to other colleges concerning their policy revisions were never answered. The ·food committee is holding a meeting today at 3 in the cafeteria. Again all interested students are urged to attend. At the end of the meeting', Marchetti said, in his advisor's comment, that he hopes council members were reporting back_to their dorms what was discussed at IDC meetings. Marchetti feels it is the representatives ' responsibility to keep their fellow students informed and to also direct their complaints in the right direction.

Bradford L. Kinney, traveled to the Pennsylvania For ensks Association tourns1ment held at Clarion State College fr om February 25-27 and returned as the ninth-ranked forensic school in the state. The PF A tournament, held annually at one of the member schools, brings most of the major forensic schools from across the · state together for two days of high-powered competition. Since only PF A schoolr are invited to compete, the competition is considered the state championship tournament. The Wilkes finish in tlie upper division of all the schools attending the tournament was sparked by fine individual performances. Maryanne Bartoszek, a sophomore Union member, brought home a fifth place-trophy for after dinner speaking. This makes her the fifth ranked after dinner speaker in the state. Maryanne will defend her title at the national championship to be held in April at George Mason University in Washington, D.C. Five other Union members competed at the tournament. Although they didn't bring any trophies back to the college, they contributed to making Wilkes the ninth-ranked school in the state. The five members are Marcia Stratton, David Roberts, Steve Jurewicz, Donna Korba , and David Evans. Dr. Kinney also brought an honor to Wilkes. He was unanimously reelected to a second term as secretarytreasurer of the PF A. br. Kinney was praised for his fine work . during the past year and also for his valuable help in running this year's tournament. The PF A competition was attended by many powerhouse forensic schools from across the state. Wilkes competed against such schools as LaSalle, Edin- · boro State College, Bloomsburg State College, Shippensburg State College, and many other · state schools. _ Debate Union members will next travel to Shippensburg State College, giving up part of their spring break to compete in the Raider Invitational Tournament on March 11 and 12. Invitations are sent nationwide, so Wilkes will once again fa ce heavy competition. This will be the last tournament the Union will participate in before traveling to Seattle, Washington, to compete in the Pi Kappa Delat Nationa1 Convention and Tournament from March 18-22. n By Jim Edwards 0 :I The Wilkes College Connection went into operation on February 21. This new 24-hour hot-line of campus announ cements has received over 600 calls on an average of 80 calls a day after one week. "We are very pleased with the response, " said Douglas Rubinstein, director of public relations, who went on to say that " the people from the community who have called are very please with it also." Many of these calls can be accounted for as just being made out of curiosity during this initial per iod . It should be noted, however, that after the score of an away basketball game.was put on with the other announcements as an up date, the hot-line "lit up like a Christmas tree with calls" according to Rubinstein. One of the immediate concerns of the public relations office is to continue their promotion projects for the "Connection." A major promotion campaign is being planned for the fall semester with publications, bumper stickers, etc. "We have to continually remind the people that were are providing - them with this service," said Rubinstein. The " Connection" is being used to kick off the college campaign for fund-raising which started this past Tuesday. Campaign updates will be put on the hot-line along with mini interviews of people involved in the campaign. An y college-sponsored 3:: QI ., n ::r ~ .., ........

Above is shown the front and back of the "Wilkes College Connection" announcement card. In operation only a short period, the communications system is already proving to be successful. organizations are welcomed to put their important announcements on the "Connection." Two weeks notice should be given to the public relations office before the ct.ate of the event. " It is an inexpensive vehicle of publicity," commented Rubinstein. The tape recording system was donated to the school so the only expense of the hot-line is the $17 a month line fee. Even if the system was not donated Rubinstein feels the benefits would still far-out-weigh the costs. The public relations ·office is still in the process of studying the uses and advantages of a hot-line, but Rubinstein could not emphasize enough how pleased they are with it. Again the name of the hot-line is The Wilkes College Connection and the number is 826-1135.

On LoWer Drinking Age 8 Wilkes Students Are Feeling All The Punches a, ........ 0- .., I believe the old saying went, "Old enough to vote, old enough to fight, old enough to accept responsibility, but not old enough to drink in Pennsylvania. " It seems very true, -approximately 68 % of Wilkes' dor..,. mitory student population is from out of state, where the 18 ~ year old drinking age is legal. However, within the state, :_ students are unable to indulge and must therefore resort to other forms of entertainment. With so many local watering holes off campus, it seems a shame that the majority of Wilkes' students are unable to take advantage of them. Although the fairness and justice of a change in the present drinking age laws are obvious to those of us who are directly affected, it is necessary for us to apply as much political pressure on our representatives in favor of a change as those who oppose a change. We have heard that when the hearings to lower the drinkin& age -were being held last year only two groups supported the change, while many pressure groups opposed it. If we want this law changed, it is our responsiblity to let our representative for whom we vote, know our position favoring a change in this law. The state representative for this district is: The Honorable Bernard F. O'Brien Room B-8, State Capitol Building Harrisburg, Pa. 17101 The state senator for this district is: The Honorable Martin L. Murray Room 291, State Capitol Building Harrisburg, Pa. 17101 According to a letter The Beacon received from the Student Association of Lycoming College, "If 10,000 college students in Pennsylvania write to their representatives in Harrisburg, it would be difficult for the legislature to ignore such a demand.'' The present proposal in front of the state legislature favors lowering the drinking age in Pennsylvania to 19 years of age. At present, the most constructive thing college students can do is to write letters to the above people urging them to vote in favor of the proposal. Hopefully with enough letters, q.nd enough interest the age may be lowered ..

Last time I wrote about apathy. This time I will also talk about this phenomenon known as apathy. Since apathy means indifference, I must ask the students what they want out of college besides a degree and possible employment. I ask ,the students: What will you tell the interviewer· when he asks you how you spent your free time besides studying? I am not denying that studying comes first before activities and clubs. What I am doing is asking people, exhorting people to join in the fun of college. I know I am going to be blasted by some people who are club members, however, this letter is directed to those apathetic students who either don't know or don't care. Since September, I have joined or have achieved membership of four organizations (whose m:11n~s have been excluded to protect the innocent) on campus. This is when I have a 2.5 GPA. I make it a point to attend some of these meetings, whereas the SG and IDC meetings are mandatory. So, next September, I hope to see my fellow students walking up to one of the club booths and signing up with one of the clubs. Don't worry about attending all of the meetings. Attend those meetings and p·a rticipate as much as your time permits. By the way, SG, IDC, and CC meetings are OPEN. You don't have a vote, but you can tell your rep what to say, do, or how to . vote. After all, you elected them and they are doing ·a job for you. So, get off your duffs and get walking and talking. · Sincerely yours, Shep Willner STAFF Editor In Chief .. . . . . .. . . ... .......... ... ..... . .. .. ... ... .... .

A CROSSING SILVER STRERl-1 (iE NE WILDER Feature At 2:10 - 4:35 7:00 - 9:30 �---------------------, l THE WIZARD OF WAZ I Superb Actors In Absurd Play ~-------------------J By Mary Ellen Alu Humorous but disturbing , absurd yet moving was the Wilkes theater presentation of Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" this past weekend. Combining the talertts of Director Joseph Salsburg, the 15 cast members, and the production staff, directors, and crews, the theater was able to add to its list of successful plays and once again preserve its welldeserved good name. The success of the play re~ted heavily in the suberb acting, since the play, being absurd, was difficult to understand. The actors displayed perfect timing as was expecially evident in the first act of the performance. Randy Smith, Joseph Gavlick, Paul Kerrigan, and Robert Klein executed their lines at precisely ' the right moment in Act I jnd in such a smooth manner that the audience found it impossible to control their laughter. Randy Smith, as Berenger, performed excellently throughout the entire play, helping to convey the mood of the play while at the same time in~ viting the audience to identify with him. The highlight of Joseph Gavlick's performance. had to be during his transformation into a rhinoceros. He was comical, yet convincing. In addition to the memorable roles performed by Smith, Gav lick, and Kerrigan ( as the old man), the audience cannot easily forget the performances of newcomer Jody Berg, John Forte, and Victoria Moss.

He also clarified that he has spent about Books, Records the last six months actually doing , and Tapes the research. In addition to lecture material, 82S-4767 Kinney provides students Cliff and Monarch enrolled in the interview course Notes with a booklet bf information. .,.IY'lr/Y'la",JY',,l"'Jlil'J'l.,,,,""""".,..._,.._.,r/Y'""""""" This booklet contains sample Book And Record Mart 'V Ill :&:I resumes, job applications, cover letters and questions that may be asked during an interview. The most important part of applying for an interview or a job is "to sell yourself," commented Kinney. With the job market in the present state, Kinney mentioned that a person must show the firm or company that he would be a special asset to the staff of the firm if hired. Kinney also stated that an interview can be turned around such that it works for the person taking it rather than just for the interviewer. Another important part of an interview is researching the company ahead of time. Kinney cited the importance of researching the company as giving yourself an advantage over the other · person and as showing your interest . in the company. Kinney stressed that his course does not guarantee jobs for students, .but he feels it is worthwhile. He is constantly expanding the information in the booklet so that it contains updated information. Kinney said he would like to see the course offered at least once a year. "I'd be willing to give up some of my free time," commented Kinney concerning teaching the course. He feels the course is extremely beneficial to students since college does not prepare students for interviews. Through a course of this type, students would be more prepared for entering the job market. It would give students the chance to see what iriterviewers look for in an individual besides academic qualifications. The next session of the course will start Wednesday, March 16 and will finish Wednesday, April 6. Each session will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The Office of Continuing Education is responsible for registration for the course. The course fee is $20.

Around The Campus Question: Are you in favor of establishing fraternities on the Wilkes camous? Why or why not? Rick Smit , ermont (earth science) - I think the idea is great to have fraternities and sororities. We then could have bigger and better parties. The individual housing of fraternities and sororities would benefit the campus. Kurt Franke, Boonton, New Jersey (environmental science major) - I think our school is too small to have fraternities. I've been at a school that had fraternities and only 800 students. No one got to know anyone despite the small size of the school. Bob Ausura, Levittown Sam Fabbrini, Plains Town(political science major ) - I think ship (English major) - If having fraternities is another excuse for sororities and fraternities are an excellent way to create parhaving parties·, then they ticipation among_ dorm students shouldn't exist.

Of College Budget Student Government spent a lengthy meeting on Monday night listening to President Capin's presentation of the projected budget for 1977-78. It was only the second time in the college's history that the president has approached the body to explain the college's financial situations and policies. SG approved that an electric typewriter be secured for the SG office and staff. It was stipulated that the expense of the machine is not to exceed $300. There were no other fund requests at the meeting. According to Dean Edward Baltruchitis, SG advisor, the Deans' Council still wishes to have a written recommendation concerning the fraternitysorority issue from SG. SG voted to send in written form the report of last week's meeting. Such a report would indicate SG's in- · dicisiveness on the issue. The idea of SG funding a possible mini-course in interview techniques was also discussed at the me~ing. Dean Baltruchitis stated his belief that there is no reason why SG should subsidized such a program. He continued by saying that the information that could be gained from the course is already available in the Placement Office. No action was taken on the matter. There will be a very important meeting of the SG social committee today in SLC 101 at 11:00 for the purpose of discussing the formulating plans for the upcoming spring weekend. Nominations for SG representatives will be held on Thursday, March 17 according to the following schedule: Class of '78-11:00 a.m., CPA ; Class of '79 - 11 :00 a .m., SLC 101 ; Class of '80 - 12:00 noon, SLC 101. Elections will be held one week later on Thursday, March 24 from 11-1 in the Commons and from 4:30 - 6:30 in New Mens' Dorm . You must present a validated Wilkes I.D. card to vote in these elections. Environmental Contest Set For H.S. Studenti The Department of Environmental Sciences and the Committee for a Clean Environment are sponsoring an environmental awareness contest March 26 at 1 p.m. in Stark Learning Center. Purpose of the contest is to recognize high school students most proficient in the environmental sciences and who demonstrate a knowledge of current environmental problems. Contest will consist of an objective test of general knowledge of the environmental sciences and a short essay dealing with attitudes toward environmental problems.

All high school students, grades 9 thru 12, are invited to enter. Names of contestants and the name of their high school should be sent to Environmental Awareness Contest, Committee for a Clean Environment. Bridget McDonald, South Brunswick, New Jersey (elementary education major ) - I am against fraternities and sororities being established here because I think there is enough dissention on this campus, and sectioning people off like that would only cause more. Joe Stern , Wilkes-Barre (biology major ) - The entire question brings to mind that this valley is 20 years behind the times.

Amidst all, of the tension and turmoil on the team this season, Donahue's leadership was evident when he took the floor. "There's no question about it," said one of Tommy's fellow teammates.

He only spent two years as a Colonel after transferring from LCCC. Tom was an integral part of two LCCC championship teams but didn't find continuation of that success at Wilkes. Instead he found much pain. Last year, he broke his ankle in the season opener against Lock Haven and spent most of the year watching the action. When he finally did return to action he didn't perform up to par because of the lingering problem with hls mobility. This year, after being named captain, be ~ primed for his most productive campaign but more injuries took their toll. · "The most frustrating aspect of my career here at Wilkes has not been our lack of success," stated Tom. "I enjoy playing and it was killing me just to sit on the bench and not be directly involved in the action." Success dominated the early basketball career . of Tom Donahue and pain and frustration marked the latter. Mixing the two together usually results in bitterness, but Tom Donahue is not . an ordinary ballplayer. For him it has been a character building experience and not many people have the strength to resist the bitterness. Tom Donahue has that inner strength.

A look at the weight classes: This is a class dominated by three 118_ freshmen: Gene Mills, Syracuse; Steve Bastianelli, Lehigh and Mansfield. Mills and Bastianelli appear to be the top two. Also watch for Tom Coleman of Army and Mitch Vance, Temple. 126- Lance Leonhardt. Lehigh, and Mike Beck of Navy are the two favorites. Mahonski has to be counted in as another top contender. Bob Vottero of Army and Dugas of Syracuse (who beat Leonhardt last Saturday) should gigure in somewhere. 134- Sleound has to be rated the favorite. but Balum has knocked off other top dogs ( remember Nick Gallo of Hof- stra? ), so don't be surprised to see an upset. George Medina of Syracuse and Navy's Nick Episcopo should place. 142This weight class has no clear cut favorite. Pat Scully of Lehigh was trying to drop down here, and if he does he'll figure as one challenger. Lear, Princeton's Steve Grubbman (alsto trying to drop down), Navy's Tom Bauer, and Ed Rivera of Tempie round out the headliners. 150- Gary Kessel of East Stroudsburg is the heavy favorite. However, Densberger could catch him. Chris Moffa of Rutgers and Sculley if he can't drop will be in the running also. 158- Nils Deac?ns of Lehigh, usually ~ 167 pounder , 1s trymg to drop and if he does will be the favorite. John Althans of Navy, Tim Jenks of Syracuse, and MacLean are potential challengers. 16 7Lieberman is the favorite if he can make the weight. Clemons and Roger Fleischer of Navy will figure in the running. 177- Another Lehigh wrestler ' trying to drop down is Mike Brown, a very tough freshman. He, Cook, and Carmen Morina -of Temple are the favorites. 190McCorkel is the man to beat. Gregrow could pull it off, while Greg Cooper of Navy, and Steve Paterno of Franklin and Marshal1 should also place. HWT.- Princeton's John Sefter is the top dog. House, Roger Mitchell of Navy, Mike Rotunda from Syracuse, and Brown if he can't make 177 will be the men looking to stop him .

So commented Art Spielman, project manager for Columbus Maintenance Service, on recently voiced opinions of the new maintenance takeover. Columbus Services recently assumed the responsibility of maintaining the campus for a thirty day trial period. Former maintenance employees were retained with a one year contract. This does not mean , however, that the employees will be fired after one year. It just gives them an option. In this thirty day trial period the new program must prove to be effective. Spielman is very optimistic and has taken steps toward improvement. "Right now we are in an organization period in which we will give our supervisors more responsibility. These lead men will be held to their job By Lisa Waznik descriptions and will be responsible to me." He also explained that he has instituted some new programs including the hiring of a full time steamfitter controls man to work directly with the HVAC systems. Impressed With Students Spielman says he is very impressed with the caliber of the students at Wilkes and he realizes that some have justified complaints. However, he feels that the students must realize just what is behind a simple work order at times. "Many times we are waiting for a piece of equipment that had to be ordered. Sometimes our present equipment breaks down and has to be repaired. Often times there are what we call "emergency" jobs that have to be taken care of immediately, such as a contact lens falling down the drain. All of these things take the men away from atan Vol. XXIX No. 19 WIikes College, Wllkes-aure, Pa. their scheduled jobs and puts the job ahead until these things can be attended to." Vandalism Spielman told of a case recently where student van• dalism kept his men from continuing with their scheduled work. Last week in the gym, in the early morning hours, all the showers were turned on and the drain blocked. Since the gym is locked around midnight and is checked, someone had to break in. When the night man was patrolling he found the shower room filled with water to the point that it was almost over !,he top. Had it gone over, it could have flooded the gym floor , causing greater damage. "It's things like this that prevent us from getting to our other work," Spielman commented, "We have nearly 40 of these calls a week! " Speilman stated that the crews have been getting some painting done and have been replacing windows, which number near fifteen broken in the past two weeks. "We have a man on campus 24 hours a day with full crews working from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We just can't get the men there really quickly when there is something of greater importance somewhere else." He asked for student cooperation in matters involving Continued on Page 3 Still Undecided About Frats After spending the greater part of its weekly meeting on the fraternity-sorority issue, Student Government was able to take no definitive action on the matter. The body voted down a motion not to recommend the establish~ent of such a system on campus. But when another motion was introduced calling for support of the frat system, it too did not pass. Instead it ended in a nine-nine split with three abstentions. Since the Deans' Council had requested a statement from SG concerning the matter, several SG members suggested that Dean's Council be presented with both motions that were introduced at this week's meeting. It was felt that such an action would indicate to the Deans' Council that SG is divided on the issue. The statement receiving more support, that which resulted in the tie, reads as follows: "Student Government feels that a fraternity and-or sorority system with a full time director and a workable budget separate from Student Government funds could enhance campus .life." The statement of opposition to the frat system, which lost in an 8-14-0 vote, reads : " Student Government does not recommend the institution of a fraternity-sorority system on the Wilkes campus, because such a system would be devisive, segmentary and would detract from rather than enhance the social and extracurricular c:ystem of Wilkes College." By Joe Buckley In other matters, SG voted to accept the title and purpose of the proppsed decimal grading system. A vote was withheld on the procedure which will be used to operate the grading system. r SG also approved requests for the intercollegiate orchestra and for Circle K. While giving her report on the success of the winter weekend, social committee member Rosetta Chiavacci was given a round of applause and congratulations from SG members for her excellent work on the winter weekend planning and organization. Decimal Point System Gains SG Approval Purpose: In an effort to improve the present grading system, we propose the addition of grades .5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. Procedure: There a re numerous reasons for the addition of grades .5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. Within particular grade levels, grades are not necessarily equal. For example, if a professor determines that 80 to 89 constitutes a 3, there exists a disparity between Student A's final grade of 80 and Student B's final grade of 87. In this particular example, with decimal point grading, Student B could receive a 3.5. This grade is significant because it rates the student at 3+, a much fairer analysis of his work. Thus, decimal point grading allows a truer measure of a student's academic achivement. Decimal point grading will not cause grade inflation. A professor will be less inclined to lower this 4, 3, 2, 1 grade ranges when there is a .5 difference between grade levels. In other words, a professor will award fewer 4's when he can give the student a 3.5 as opposed to a 3. In the present system, the professor may feel a group of students have almost earned 4's and as a result lower his curve and give the students the 4 as opposed to the 3. The 4 may not be the student's actual achievement, but the 3 is no closer an analysis of his work. With decimal point grading, a student who has almost earned a 4 could receive a 3.5. This not only cancels grade inflation, but the 3.5 is the actual achievement of the student, as stated earlier. Decimal point grading can be easily introduced. It would begin with a freshman class (this would exclude the sophomore, junior and senior classes ) and would follow the freshman class through their next 3 years. Succeeding freshman classes, would also be graded in the decimal point plan. (For example, after one (-1) year, the sophomore and freshman classes would use decimal point grading. After two (2) years, the freshman, sophomore , and junior classes would use a decimal point grading etc. ): Therefore, in 4 years time, decimal point grading would be in full operation throughout the college. Our present grading system is in need of revision. A truer, fairer system appears to be decimal point grading. For both the professor and the student, it is the true indication of academic achivement. ''Rhinoceros'' Opens Eugene Ionesco, one of the foremost practitioners in this area , has written many plays that are theatrically brilliant and intellectually stimulating, but whose message ( if indeed, there is one) is not apparent. "RHINOCEROS" which opens at the C.P.A. tomorrow, has been called Ionesco's most accessible play. It has performed to critical approbation in Paris by JeanLouis Barrault, in London by Laurence Oliver under the direction of Orsen Wells, and in New York by Zero Mostel and Eli Wallach. This hilariously farcical satire is Ionesco's blow against comfotmity and the mob-instinct, epitomized by the transformation of the people of a little French town into rhinoceroses. Ionesco has denied any political involvement as an artist, but it must be deemed beyond question that RHINOCEROS was written as a reaction to the Nazi takeover in the playwright's native Romania. The playgoer will have little difficulty in recognizing the sharpness of Ionesco's barbs if, whenever he hears "rhinoceros," he substitutes "Nazi." Announced by Alfred S.

IDC Displays No Interest In Frats After a Deans Council request, President Bruce Lear asked for recommendations and general attitudes toward the establishment of a fraternal system ·on Campus at the Inter-Dormitory Council meeting Sunday night. Letters of recommendations must be written by IDC, Commuter Council, and Student Government. It was suggested and agreed that the issue' be tabled until next week so that Steve Connolly, chairman of the fraternal investigating committee, be present at the meeting. Lear did persist to draw some kind of reaction from the council, however. After no reaction at all one representative stated that it looked like there was not interest. Concerning Winter Weekend, most council members preferred and enjoyed the activities on campus. The band for Friday night's barn dance, Abelene, sparked favorable interest and was suggested that they be asked to perform on campus again. It was suggested tha·t since Giant supermarket is going out of business soon, a co-op for students be set on campus. Lear will look into the idea with Mr. Charles Abate, Business Manager. Under maintenance, a few complaints were brought to Joe Marchetti 's attention . In response to a question from Lear concerning maintenance's 30 day grace period, Marchetti stated " we've seen some improvements." .

Market St., Wilkes-Barre buildings with , foday 's conservation in mind. In response to rumors about demoli~hing buildings with costly heating bills, Abate said, "Not only will we look at the heating costs, but also the total cost of running the building , the geographic location of the building, and the general condition of the building. All of these factors must be considered. " CC Rep Irked By Parking Parking was again one of the major topics of concern at last Thursday's bi-weekly Commuter Council meeting. According to David Ney , parking committee chairman, there are more parking spaces available at Parrish Hall lot and at the Temple lsrael lot ( during off hours), but there are no stickers to be distributed for use in those lots. David Ney explained that IDC was supposed to give CC red stickers in exchange for CC's purple stickers, but CC has not yet received them. Ney said he is disgusted with the IDC parking committee and does not expect to ever get the stickers from that organization. Concerning fraternities on the Wilkes campus, Commuter Council has decided to support the committee to look into the establishment of fraternities. Steve Connolly was present at the meeting to explain the purpose of the ftaternities to the council members. He said that no specific system is yet being proposed, but that he just wants some system implemented to bring commuters and dorm students together - to promote unity. 150 BEER BRANDS Foreign Beer Our Specialty Bottles Cans at Hotel Sterling BOOK WORMS!

The analysis of heating costs at Wilkes is complicated and few people are aware of all the variables that must be taken into account when studying or comparing fuel costs. One person who does understand the problem is Charles Abate, business manager. He has stacks of records and data computing the costs based on the variables. Some of these variables concerning cost include: building size, fuel type, the ceiling height in the dorms, and the fluctuating distribution of heat. According to Abate, " We calculate the cost per square foot per building and use this data as a management tool to check why the cost might be above the normal. " Is the cost above usual this year? Since this is a complicated question, it presently cannot be answered satisfactorily. The College heats eight buildings on oil. A ninth building, Dorothy Dickson Darte, is heated by gas and oil, but primarily oil. The cost for this fuel is $35,714 for the net area of 87,725 square feet. City Steam is the fuel used to heat twenty-two buildings on campus. For a net area of 228,457 square feet the cost is $126,262. Electricity is the most confusing form of heat to analyze. The cost includes only the eight winter months and all the electricity for those eight months. Electricity heats four buildings: the new part of Stark, the Library, the New Men's Dorm, and the Snack Bar behind Parrish. For the eight months, the cost of all the electricity is $149,135 for the net area of 244,643 square feet. Abate stated, "Electricity is the most expensive, followed by city steam, oil, and gas."

Cards "Only" Proof Of Age Accepted �"D English Curriculum May See Additions . Lecture Series l Detailed Fully; g' By Jim Edwards At present, a student entering Wilkes College with the intentions of majoring in English has the choice of choosing a concentration in either literature, writing, journalism, or theater arts. Under the new curriculum revisions and additions of the English Department, a student may also choose concentrations in either communication studies, linguistics, and speech. These new additions of the department are currently being reviewed by the Curriculum Committee. If recommended, the proposals will then be put up for decision by the faculty and administration. Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the English Department said "We hope to have an answer this academic year." The concentration in communication studies program is actually replacing the joUFnalism curriculum. Areas now covered will be in journalism, radio, television and communication theory. The program will utilize both the college radio station and the television facilities that are a part of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program. Internships will continue to be set up with local newspapers, firms , television stations, and radio stations, to give the students the work experience needed. Addition of one faculty member to the English Department will be necessary, but Kaska feels this will be offset by the number of students the program will attract to the college. Evaluation of the English Department will be made in April by the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This is necessary in order to receive state certification in teaching communication studies. One of the guidelines for certification suggests that a scientific study of English be offered. The addition of a concentration in linguistics program would satisfy this guideline. No additions to the department staff would be necessary for the linguistics program and Kaska noted that " we have the resources to present a good program." The concentration in speech would be added to attrack interested students to the college since only a limited number of colleges in the area offer such a program. . Emphasis of study would be placed on rhetoric and public · address. Again no additions to the department staff would be necessary for the new program. "We are 'attempting to give the students inore career options and make English majors more attractive · without sacrificing anything" said Kaska. If the proposed curriculum revisions and additions are accepted by the Curriculum committee, faculty and administration, the programs can be set up for the fall semester. If there is a delay in the decision, ,the programs may have to wait a year. Courses can only be offered if they are posted in the college bulletin.

Scoop Truth, Not Air! After two weeks of silence, Mr. Lou Rauscher of the Sunday Independent has again shown us how not to conduct our t journalistic affairs. We are astounded by his persistence in 111 2 throwing out potshots from the potholes of journalism. .c In his column of February 20, Mr. Rauscher speaks of us GI u. as being "several budding scribes who didn't like our scooping C 0 them on the Wilkes College cage story." Well Mr. Rauscher is u 111 GI wrong! For in order for a story to be scooped, one must first ID have facts to scoop. "Scoop" Rauscher did not scoop facts. He GI Iscooped air . . He also tells us to get out of our "ivory towers and quit subscribing to the type of mediocrity that passes for so much of reporting these days." We fail to see our mediocrity! So too does the Columbia Scholastic Press Association which for two years has cited us as one of the top college newspapers in the nation in its annual newspaper competition and last year proclaimed us as being the best in the news competition. No newspaper, college or otherwise, receives such high honors from its peers and superiors by practicing mediocrity. We wonder if Mr. Rauscher could cite such high honors. Furthermore, comparing our journalistic efforts to his, we much prefer living in our "ivory tower" than in his bedraggled basement. For, if nothing else from our tower, we can see truth. Thu~ we are better able to offer a clearer- perspective on the issues surrounding us. And, after all, that is what journalism should be - a means of offering enlightenment and perspective. It is not, nor should it ever be, a compilation of false statements made from the soap box of personal belief. Journalism is not, as Mr. Rauscher appears to believe and practice, a safe wall behind which to hide after hurling allegations and insinuations disguised . as truth. Two weeks ago, Mr. Rauscher accused two Wilkes basketball players of possessing and using an illegal substance. Tragically and seemingly deceitfully, Rauscher defied the ethics of journalism. Mr. Rauscher offered absolutely no proof! In the two weeks hence, Mr. Rauscher and his actions have been lambasted and severely criticized by many respec. table jou_rnalists and newspapers in the local area. To seemingly sponsor such questionable journalistic standards suggests that the Sunday Independent operates under standards different from those honorable standards upheld and enforced by most American journalists. Such inaccurate reporting as Mr. Rauscher's cannot be condoned if journalism is to keep itself above public disgrace. In this week's column, Rauscher stated he had been "treated to several sermons on journalistic ethics." It is true that he was sermonized and criticized. However, we think it was rightfully deserved. He responded to the sermons this week by preaching to us that we "probably won't be told this in Journalism 202, but there's a cruel world out there waiting for you." But, while the world is a cruel place, it is only that way because of insensitive people who do not uphold justice. Yes, the world is cruel - but we think it still respects the truth. The issue here is not just Mr. Rauscher's seemingly unethical practices. There is a much greater issue, the issue of journalistic infallibility. A journalist can make a misutke. We understand that. But when he refuses to recognize his mistake, accept the constructive criticisms of his fellow journalists (even if they are " budding scribes"), and make amends for his wrongdoings, then it seems he is no longer a respectable journalist. One might even term ·such action as cowardly. To berate other journalists for the purpose of preserving one's own presumed journalistic infallibility is an action indicative of an obscure, ineffective and · immature journalist crying for attention. Most "real" journalists find such behavior appalling. Conceivably, one might say that Mr. Rauscher is operating with the mandate embodied in the first amendment of the constitution which grants freedom of the press. Such an argument would be indefensible and, if committed, the one committing it should be used in Journalism 202 as a . classic example of mediocrity at its best.

Although selfdefense has many general definitions, one of the more specific styles of the sport is Judo." By definition, Judo means the "gentle way," and now there is a judo club at Wilkes to teach that gentle way. The club meets Monday nights at 7: 30 in the Susquehannock Hall basement under the instruction of Fred Murty, a black belt and former student at Wilkes. Murty emphasized the fact that "the club is open to everyone, and anyone has the ability to partake in the sport.'' He added that there are two basic reasons for the popularity of the Judo style; "the first is the benefit of mutual welfare, and the second is the maximum efficiency one can reach." Many colleges enter their Judo clubs in college competition. This is Murty's basic goal. He feels it a ''shame not to see Wilkes in competition when they have the raw talent." Lehigh, Penn State and Clarion Stat~ all have growing Judo programs. Murty commented that Judo "teaches one humility and selfconfidence ." Of course proficiency in the sport does not come without practice, and Murty recommends that one practice at least twice a week for three hours. If one follows a re gular practice schedule seriously, Murty felt one should become self-defense effective in about a year. Murty smiled and said, "Judo isn't magic, it's not phony, but works very effectively when one has the right state of mind." And according to Murty the right frame of mind is gained through diligent practice. . Murty is a first degree black belt with 9 years experience. He taught Judo at Wilkes from 1973 to 1975 and is anxious to revive interest in the ancient art. During the three years that the A Trip At The Zoo The other day I took some time out from my busy college senior schedule to visit the zoo. It just happened to be the State Zoo down in Harrisburg. There was a parade there at the time because Governor Shapp was in town and had just granted the animal park an amount of money. They had a few speeches and ceremonies but then got on to the proposed budget for the upcoming new year at the zoo. Well, being the seeker of unique things that I am, I asked the zookeeper who was speaking, if they had acquired any strange animals in the past few weeks since they were almost assured of the grant. He went on to say that most of the money was going to be spent on rebuilding cages and pens that were destroyed by the rising river a few years back. He did however mention that they had secured a type of dolphin for the aquarium which has never before been held in captivity, but something strange had happened to them. The topic changed as the reporter asked him questions, but those silly fis h kept swimming through my mind. The zookeeper had seemed a little hesitant in telling a lot of information about these water mammals and a sea of mystery surrounded their existence. When the festivities concluded I hung around by the monkey cage for a while and then went over to the zookeeper's office. A reporter always tries to seek out the strange and sometimes the strange seek a a reporter. I'm not sure what exactly the case was here, but I knocked on the door. "Come in," said a voice from within the office. I entered only to find the zookeeper with his head in his hands in a state of anguish. "I knew you would come back to see me about those fish. You had that inquisitive look about you," he said to me. I thanked him for the compliment. (Reporters always take that as a compliment.) He then began to tell me the strange but true story. "You see, I recently spent some time scuba diving off the coast of New Guinea in search of the rare Australian Kissing Gourami. I had almost given up all hope of a discovery when I spotted one dashing about on the ocean floor. He then swam into this underwater cavern. I followed him and upon reaching the center I beheld the most wondrous sight I had ever witnessed. There in a marine playland were a dozen porpoises frolicking about!

As a beginner, one shouldn't be intimidated by Judo. Murty guaranteed that students "aren't just thrown around. but are taught how to fall and how to take care of themselves. " According to Murty, "anyone interested in Karate should not be turned off to Judo, because many of the striking techniques are the same. Lastly Murty added that he hoped people will come out and give Judo a try because "its relaxing, useful and a good way to stay in shape." Letters Librarmn Replies To Keller's Compliant To The Editor: In response to Ms. Pamela Keller's letter to The Beacon which appeared· in the February 17 issue, I wish to comment on it by presenting a few facts to your readers. 1.

We have chosen to run as a team because both David and I realize that as a team we can do many things to benefit our class and the school. With 'apathy increasing and the number of activities initiated by class officers decreasing we feel a victory for Collier and Finkel can only be a victory for the class of 1980. As a team we both feel qualified and confident that our tenures in office will only help to increase student . activity and decrease student apathy. The election will be on March 1 in the commons and in the New Mens' dormitory. We are hoping that the class of '80 is ready for some real leaders. If you are tired of inactivity and want capable leaders for class office then vote for Albert Collier and David Finkel for President and Vice-President of the class of 1980. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Albert Collier IV scription basis. Therefore, this library, like everyone else, is subject to the whims of the postal service. 3. We have explored other possible alternatives, such as making a delivery arrangement with our local newspaper dealers. Due to the limited number of our subscriptions, no one is interested in our offer. 4. Our library budget does not permit multi-copy subscription to newspapers, even though they · are constantly in great demand. It is our practice to re-shelve newspapers (for that matter, journals and books ) continuously throughout the day to ensure ready accessibility. However, when the current newspapers are being read by other people, naturally these can not be located on the shelf. 5. Newspapers from Berwick and Tunkhannock areas are gifts from publishers. College funds are not used in paying for these papers. Respectfully yours, Hsi-ping Shao Serials Librarian "When they saw me they were at first startled but then realized I was a friend. All at once one came up to me and said hello ! ! ! I couldn't believe my ears! But he then explained that he had learned to speak from a fellow porpoise that was cast in a recent movie. That explained everything. "I got pretty friendly with the creature, had a nice chat, but then learned from a cute little female fis h a secret that the other scorned her for revealing. You see this rare school of dolphins had been on this earth since the beginning of time. And to continue, they would also live forever, thus making them immortal. "I could not believe my ears. But they continued by telling me that the secret of their existence was to feed once a year, on Ash Wednesday, on helpless little baby seagulls. This was totally out of character since they normally ate only fish, especially on Ash Wednesday. "So I talked a while longer with them and finally got around to asking the question, would they come back with me to the State Zoo. And to my surprise, they agreed as long as I would supply the infant gulls on the dav of immortality. Naturally, I agreed. "Well, I placed them in the Aquarium which was located next to the lions' cage. You know all of this belongs to the state and thus all of our animals are state animals. Well, back to the subject at fin. Yesterday a terrible thing happened. I had forgotten that it was Ash Wednesday. It was about a quarter to midnight when I realized that the immortal fish would die if I didn't supply the baby seagul,S. "I rushed over to the state bird sanctuary and grabbed a .dozen baby seagulls. I ran back as fast as I could. I then figured that the quickest way to the State Aquarium was to go over the lion's cage. So, I jumped over and just as I reached the Aquarium the F.B.I. came and arrested me. I was in grief. The porpoises that could have lived forever had died. And this is the end of my story." "Oh my goodness," I said, "That's hard to believe. I can't wait to put this in The BEACON. But, by the way, just why were you arrested?" "The charge was Taking baby gulls over state lions for immortal porpoises.

Love and Coed's Finale To Host MAC's The women's basketball team travelled to Elizabethtown last Thursday, only to bring back a very disappointing 62-58 defeat. Remembering last year's loss to Elizabethtown in the first round of the MAC Tournament, the Wilkes women showed determination .in the first half of this year's contest and held an impressive 32-24 lead at the halfway mark. However, the Elizabethtown girls caught on to the slow-moving Colonelette offense and switched to a man-to-man defense for the second half. The female Colonels have had problems scoring against this type of defense all season and this particular game proved to be no exception. Wilkes was outscored 38-26 in the final period, thus receiving their 13th loss of the season. · The Colonelettes hosted a very strong Scranton University team on Saturday and went down to defeat, 66-44. Although the Wilkes women were consistent, scoring 22 points in both periods of the game, the fast working Scranton offense was too much to contend with. The Colonelettes put on a super effort for their final home game Tuesday, handing Baptist Bible a 78-31 thrashing. They got off to a slow start for the first few minutes, but suddenly pulled way ahead and put the game well out of reach. Scoring 48 points in the first half, the female cagers enjoyed a 36 point lead after the first period. Wilkes seemed to score at will, as they picked Baptist Bible's defense apart, and also used the fast break effectively. Four Colonelettes hit double figures, led by Mary Jo Frail with 16, Sue Freda and Lynn Yedlock with 12 apiece, and Karen Olney with 10. Dotty Martin led a tough defensive effort that restricted Bible's scoring mainly to outside shots. Wilkes, now 6-14, closes out the season Sunday at Marywood before hosting the MAC Tournament next week.

One reason for the slow down was the direct result of Chris Drake's second basket of the season. After this bright spot in Drake's career time was taken to present awards and make speeches. The other reason for the slow down was the abundance of varsity action in the gym last week. In one of the four games played, Northern Death defeated Bananas 54-46, as Fisch carried the winners with a game high 16 points. In another game, Orien's Express easily defeated Diaz 68-52. Mike Briel was the big story of this game as he set a season high in individual scoring with 31 points. Dirksen proved to be easy pickings for Slocum as the boys from 262 won by a 44-35 margin. Norman Rickles was high scorer for Slocum with 20. Finally, the battle for the basement continued this week and almost had a surprise ending when the Urchins came within two points of winning their first game. With three seconds left in this contest Hotel Sterling I was in the lead 40-38 and the Urchins had the ball out of bounds. The inbounds pass went to 5-7 forward Dean Evans who made a remarkable turn~around slam dunk with no time left on the clock. However, Evans was called for travelling and the victory went to the Hotel. Swiuiuiers Head To MAC's compassion are ridiculously archaic.

In Wednesday's action, Wil}{es placed first and second in both diving events with Paul Neidzweicki winning and Cindy Glawe right behind the co-captain. Both divers are expected to do well in the upcoming MAC Tournament, Paul being undefeated throughout the season. . The Colonel medley relay team consisting of Kevin Augustine, Jim Edwards, Tony Pinto, and Jeff Jones won the event. Binghamton took firsts in almost every event following but Wilkesmen and women took most second and third place points from the New York school. The close final score was 61-49. In Saturday's meet with Cathedral the Aquamen joined forces at the start of the meet by winning the medley relay event. Relay members were : Maris Solomon, Carol Piatt, Lisa Waznik and John Heffner. The Colonels continued by taking first and second in the 1000 yard freestyle with Melita Maguire and Jeff Boberick scoring. Double trouble surprised the seminarians when Keith and Kevin Augustine whipped through the 200 yard freestyle adding eight more points to the score for Wilkes. Bill Manley and Jeff Jones finished first and second again in the 500 yard freestyle. Freshman Jim Edwards broke the school record in the 200 yard individual medley event with Tony Pinto following for the second place. In their last dual meet at Wilkes Co-captains -Lisa Waznik and Paul Neidzwieki culminated their college swimming careers with Paul taking two firsts in diving and Lisa swimming in the two winning relay teams and taking second in the 200 yard butterfly event. John Heffner had a fine day taking three first places, two in relay events and the single victory in the 100 yard freestyle. Others taking firsts were Jeff Boberick, Alan Shaw, and Maris Solomon. Final score in the victory was 83-25. This weekend the Colonel Swim Team will be traveling to W_idener College in Chester·, Pennsylvania for the M.A.C.

Graciously. No playoff berth. No winning record. Nothing to look forward to and certainly not much to look back upon. May this season rest in peace. Heading into last week's action, the Colonels, despite all of the problems that have dogged them relentlessly all year, were actually in excellent position to grab a playoff spot in the MAC. Obviously it didn't materialize. After the Colonels tremendously inspiring performance against Scranton last week, faith seemed to have been restored to everyone except the team members. The defending National Division III Champs had to fightfor their lives in overtime before succumbing the scrappy Colonels. Wilkes was beaten but they proved that they could play competitively with the big boys. All they had to do was beat Elizabethtown to be assured of a playoff spot and a clean slate, not to mention. another shot at Scranton. The Wilkesmen travelled to E-Town just two days after the nearmiss with Scranton and to say that they got blown out would be understating the situation drastically. The Blue Jays completely dominated the contest from beginning to end, thereby adding another Colonel team to its list of enemies. Wilkes soccer coach Chip Eaton isn't the only person on campus to have a special place in his heart for Elizabethtown. Cage mentor Rodger Bearde isn't very fond of the Blue Jays either. "This is the third year in a row that this has happened to us. It seems as though every season comes down to our beating E-Town after big games with Scranton and three years in a row they have handled us," commented a frustrated Bearde. The Colonels simply looked awful. Relying too much on emotion, they were slow, flat, uninspired, lethargic, and any other adjective you can think of that means lousy. One Colonel player said, "We kept thinking about the Scranton game and some of the things we should have done differently to give us the victory." Another player commented, "We were so pumped up for the game with the Royals that we could have jumped through the roof of the gym. When we lost it, it just drained us and we didn't have anything left for E-Town." The Colonels were fixated on the fact that they lost to Scranton and their excellent performance didn't buoy them at all. Everything they tried flopped. Beset by a leg injury to Kendall McNeil and a groin injury to Tommy Donahue, things got progressively worse. Jeff Baird ran into a wall chasing a loose ball and had to sit for a while with an injured hand. John Zapko fouled out ' with 10 minutes still remaining in the game. Ken Hughes managed only four points while suffering with a bad cold. The bench looked more like an emergency room at a hospital than a basketball team. While these players rode the bench, the players on the court didn't look much healthier. They seemed to be content to remain spectatqrs while E-Town provided all the action. For all intents and purposes, the contest was decided in the first half when the Colonels could only muster an anemic 22 points and went into the locker room trailing by 15 markers. The final score was a devastating 87-57. That's a 30 point difference folks; a very large total. The team closed out the season on Tuesday night with yet another loss to Lebanon Valley, 76-75. This dropped their season log to a dismal 7-15, more than twice as many losses as wins. Although this year was a disaster in more ways than one, the Colonels do seem to have a solid nucleus for the future. Only Tom Donahue will be lost via graduation. "I wish the season was just beginning," commented Bearde. "These kids are going to have a great future." No doubt about the future, coach, but the fans need a rest. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Continuous Info Available Through New Hot Line By Jim Edwards Many times a phone call will come through the main college line concerning the location of a party or the score of a swim meet or the curtain time of a play and so on, inquiring about information that is not always readily available. Starting Monday a new hot-line will be set up called the "Wilkes College Connection", which will play on a tape recording system up-to-date campus happenings 24 hours a day. The "Connection" was designed for the use of students, parents, and faculty members as well as being a public service to the community. This new idea was star:ted about a month ago through the joint efforts of Douglas Rubinstein, the new director of public relations, and George Pawlush, director of news and sports information. Research into hot-lines at other collegeswas made by the Public Relations Office to see if this was a practical idea or not. They revealed that at Lehigh University , their hot-line received over 1200 calls one weekend from 23 states. The issue of whether or not to establish a fraternity-sorority system on campus, which was the subject of a lengthy debate at last week's Student Government meeting, received little attention at this week's meeting Monday night. However, this is not because · the issue has been forgotten.

By Joe Buckley were tabled until next week's meeting. Mark Abruzzese, speaking for IDC, stated that President Capin, after being informed of students complaints about the slowness of Columbus Services, met with the president of Columbus Services to discuss the complaints. According to Abruzzese , the meeting resulted in having Columbus Services receive a 30 day grace in which the service would supposedly rectify any problems with the company's performance of its duties. If the problems remain after the period of grace ends, then the college would begin reviewing Columbus Services' contract for next year. Abruzzese quoted the college president as saying that if the complaints continue, Columbus Services may not be here next year. The following fund requests were granted by Student Government: · $22 to Gary Toczylowski for the rental of a Colonel's costume ( complete with top hat and beard) to be used during the Colonel's basketball games. $30 to the Human Services Committee for the purchase of new first aid supplies. · $150 to the Committee for a Clean Environment. In surprise commentary at the end of the SG meeting, Dean Baltruchitis praised The Beacon staff as "really good iour- nalists." He stated to the SG ·body that "SG should say something nice about The Beacon since SG is usually so negative." Winter Weekend Starts Tomorrow; Schedule Usted The Student Government presents the Paul Bunyan Winter Weekend February 18, 19, and 20, for all students, faculty and administration.

The Manuscript Society, which is marking its 30th year on campus, is still searching for works to be published in this year's issue of "Manuscript" . "It's hard trying to reach people," stated Boston. He explained that the Manuscript Society is open to anyone. Many misconceptions have circulated around campus in recent years and Boston and other members of the Society are trying to put an ~nd to the rumors. The Manuscript accepts works _of prose , poetry, fiction , photography and art. The Society members select those works which they feel should be published. IDENTITY OF AUTHOR UNKNOWN Boston noted year after year, students believe the works submitted are selected QY the English faculty, which is incorrect. The members of the Society are given typewritten copies of the works to be considered. Only Boston knows the By Janine Pokrinchak identity of the author , which is withheld from the other members until the work has been accepted for publication. People who have submitted works to the Society for consideration are welcomed to attend the meetings. As a matter of fact, Boston said, "We'd like to see more people at ow· meetings." The deadline for submitting works to the Manuscript has not been set yet, but Boston commented that the deadline would probably be the end of March. A publication date will probably be sometime in April. Ray Klimek, assistant editor, and Terri Williams, art editor, help Boston with the editorial duties. SPONSORS SOCIAL ACTIVITIES In addition to the publication of the Manuscript, the Society has sponsored films . The group also sponsored some coffee houses last semester and is considering holding some this semester as well. Advisor to the Society is Dr. Robert Heaman, who is currently Film-Studies Course A First At Wilkes By Nancy Kozemko Dr. Michael Seitz, chairman of - the Department of Foreign Language and Literature, has put together a new course entitled "Introduction to the History and Art of Film," to be offered this fall. It will be run as a threecredit topics course under Theater Arts 398, and will be the first cinema-studies course to be offered at Wilkes College. Dr. Seitz, who will be teaching the course, said that it will include 14 Monday evening _ screenings of films, selected readings in film criticism and theory, and one weekly two-hour discussion section. "I've always been a compulsive film nut," Dr. Seitz explained. "Films are probably the most significant form of artistic expression in the modern world. So many ideas and attitudes are conveyed, and sometimes created, by films. " The aim of the course will be to better acquaint students with the language of film, its history, and basic techniques and theories. "Every consideration; lighting, camera angles, composition within the frame, editing, sound; everything is an artistic choice," Seitz continued. He feels that an understanding of film as an art form is important because, " Clearly, in this country, more people see more movies per year than read books." He added that study in this area might especially interest education majors since films are used so extensively in modern classrooms. If the film course is successful, it may become a permanent addition to the Wilkes curriculum. Dr. Seitz said that he would like to see more advanced and specialized cinema-studies courses developed at Wilkes. Separate courses dealing with the Art film, the Propaganda Film, · the American Film, or · the Documentary may be realized in the future. The films will be viewed in t he auditorium of the CPA, and there will be no limit to the number of students permitted to take the course. " We can accommodate any number." Seitz also mentioned that, in a cooperative effort, the departments of Foreign Language, English, Fine Arts, and Theater Arts recently applied for a grant to finance some new projection equipment for the CPA, which, if obtained, will be · used for this course as well as other classes and campus activities.

The forum is a presentation of the Wyoming Valley Campus Ministry, a group of people from the various colleges in Wyoming Valley who are concerned about ministry to higher education. Chem Society Commended Dedication, good leadership, and hard work are some of the characteristics of the Wilkes College Chemical Society which have led the society - to be perennially commended as an outstanding student chapter. The Wilkes society is one of 49 student chapters affiliated with the American Chemical Society which has been chosen from 652 chapters and commended for excellence in the 1975~76 academic year. Selection for this special commendation is made by the Council Committee on Chemical Education which reviews the activities of all chapters before making a decision. Merit was awarded the Wilkes Chemical Society because of the extensiveness and intensiveness of its program and the outstanding record it has compiled over the year. Organized some 28 years ago, the Wilkes group, being among the elite number of outstanding chapters, has set an example for others to follow. By being affiliated with the American Chemical Society, the Wilkes chapter helps students interested in chemistry, develop attitudes of professionalism. Student affiliated chapters are organized at institutions granting degrees in chemistry or chemical engineering. The new comput.er science. major at Wilkes College will 'make good use of the existing comput.er science facilities. Discussing the merits of the program are left to right, Matt Middendorf, sophomore, Owego, N.Y. ; Dr. John Koch, faculty member ; Eric Jansen, junior, Valley Stream, N.Y.; and Dr. Joe Parker, faculty member. Program Added In Math Studies After several years in the planning stage, a major in computer science has become a reality at Wilkes College. With the rapid advances in computer technology and applications, computer science has now become an established area of study in American colleges and universities. · In response to growing interest among current and potential students, the Wilkes College Mathematics Department has been consolidating certain mathematics courses while expanding its offerings in computer science in recent years. Dr. Bing Wong, chairman of the mathematics department , announced, " It is something that we have been working on for several years. Though closely allied with mathematics, computer science is actually a discipline of its own." With the addition of the computer science major , the department will not only provide many of its mathematics majors with the opportunity to achieve double majors in two closely related subjects, but also at the same time attract many new students. To meet the demands created by the new computer science major, two new faculty members have been added to the mathematics department during· the past year. , Dr. John Koch, who holds his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, and Dr. Joseph A. Parker, who gained his doctorate at Cal Tech, both have extensive computer science backgrounds.

This was more than a considerate thought for a man that 1s faced with rising operating costs, an energy crisis , recruiting, and the general responsibilities of keeping a college this size together. Capin, in his few months as president, has proved himself to be a man with a surplus of honesty, consideration and integrity. He has accepted criticism and strove to rise above. He has listened to students' problems and tried to alleviate them. Capin is never without a kind word for the college or the individuals thereof. It is to this means that The Beacon would like to wish President Capin a belated " Happy Valentine's Day.

Student Government has put a lot of time in the planning of Winter Weekend and it is our hope that everyone will take advantage of all the activities . Since the weekend will be held on campus this year, the activities will be easily accessible to all. The weekend's activities will also be affordable to all. Too often we all sit back and gripe and yell about "what is going on. " Well friends, this weekend "a lot is going on" and with your support weekends of this type may be common occurances on campus. Rosetta Chiavacci and Norman Verhoog, co-chairpersons of the event, have spent much time and many headaches , and probably a lot of aspirin on the planning stages. With your participation their hopes may be realities. Winter Weekend has a lot of possibilities , get out and support it, and most of all enjoy yourself.

Commuter Council meeting will be hel.i F'ebruary 24 at 11 p.m. in Kirby 102. Living in a college community should not mean being cut off from the rest of the world. Being a dorm student has the disadvantage of not having an easy access to current national news. What is going on in the world as .it is happening is an important thing to know. Unless special time is taken out at 6:30 p.m. to watch the national news on T.V., a student does not know from two days to a week ( when "Time" and "Newsweek" come out) what has been happening. I say two days to a week, because so far I have not found an up-to-date newspaper in the library nor Sunday edition~ at all. I have asked at the desk and they always say they are with the newspapers. I feel this problem can be easily eliminated in one of two ways. First, the library staff could take the time each morning to put out the new editions. Also, if the library would care to save somemoney, they could stop the subscriptions of local papers . There are not that many students from such areas as Berwick and Tunkhannock to warrant their own newspaper. The second answer to the problem could be if the bookstore would sell certain national papers, "New York Times," "Washington Post", etc. Other college bookstores are doing this with good results.

James Yosh assumed the position of the Band's Director when Dunn graduated. During its first year, the Band rehearsed at Bishop O'Reilly High Sch_ool and the Dorrance Methodist Church, Kingston. Since 1975, the Band has been rehearsing in the Student Union Building. The repertoire of the Jazz Band includes songs of some of the Jazz Greats such as Count Bassie and Maynard Fergusen.

She is also the featured singer on the flip side of "A Fifth of Beethovan" by The Walter Murphy Band. She added a new dimension to the program and was an excellent entertainer. Her voice was a bit too fragile-sounding to be really effective, however, although she was good in the lower ranges. There were a few rough spots in the band's sound, a few muddy tones, a few just-missed notes, but they didn't harm the overall sound a bit.

Financial Aid Office, application .,_ forms and instructions will be available at the Financial Aid Office, Chase Hall, beginning on March 1. Office hours are 8: 30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. As in the · past, students applying for air from the College must return the completed forms by April 15. The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency will mail renewal forms to students who are currently receiving state grants. The deadline for filing the State form is May 1. The Basic Grants program will also mail renewal applications to current BEOG recipients. For those students not receiving State or Basic Grant assistance this year, 1977-78, applications will be available at the Financial Aid Office. Two · problem areas were highlighted by Financial Aid Director Richard Raspen, which in the past have sometimes resulted in students having serious financial difficulties. The first is that for one reason or another, students do not file for all of the aid programs available to them. Every Pennsylvania resident should apply for the State Grant, just as out-of-state residents should file for their state programs if they are available, such as in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Vermont. And every student who will carry at least six credits a semester should file the Basic Grant application. In fact, the College presumes that a student does file the applications, and builds an estimated grant into our aid package, so that if the student does not apply, he comes up short of dollars during the year. Just because a student was denied aid through a program in one year, that student should still at least file the forms . With changes in the family's financial situation, P"ii changes in programs, it is accuracy. The second problem area involves meeting filing deadlines. While the college will accept late applications and make awards :until funds are exhausted, PHEAA, for example, will not even consider late applications until the second semester. So a student stands to lose as much as $600 just from the State program by filing the forms after their May 1 deadline. Raspen urges all students, whether or not they are currently receiving financial aid to(l) stop by the ~d Office during March to . pick up the forms and instructions, and (2) file them before the filing dates as indicated. Any student who has questions about financial aid programs, forms, or procedures should feel free to use the services of the Financial Aid Office. · Scholarships Awarded To Two Local Students Two Wilkes College French majors, Anita Meehan of Plymouth and Diane Polachek of Kingston, have recently been awarded scholarshfps · for summer study· in F:.ance. The awards, the result of a competition, were announced by Dr. Michael Seitz, chairman of the College's Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. The two junior co-eds will spend the summer in a program in Tours, France, sponsored by Rutgers University. In addition to classes in the French language, literature and civilization, the program includes exc.ursions to the magnificent renaissance chateaux, which are among the major attractions of the Loire valley area. This rare opportunity was made possible by a special scholarship fund established by Lewis Salsburg of Kingston and his son, Robert Salsburg. The latter is himself a graduate French major of Wilkes College. By Jody Berg D'Vorzon Commissioned For Mural In Scranton Bernice . D'Vorzon, associate professor of art at Wilkes, was recently commissioned to do a mural for the Community Medical Center in Scranton. The 32-foot long mural, painted in acrylic paint on masonite panels, is an abstracted landscape with some feelings of Atlantis. Ms . D'Vorzon has another mural in Pennsylvania, at Percy Brown's in Allentown. The work, 9 by 60 feet, is totally abstract. A native of New York City, Ms. D'Vorzon is a graduate of the High School of Art and Music, Queens College, and the Art Students League. . She received a B.A. degree in Fine Arts from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and an M.A. from Columbia University. She has done one person shows at Brata Gallery, New York City; Wilkes College, Keystone Junior College, Everhar t Museum, Scranton; and the Benson Gallery, Hamptons, N.Y. The Wilkes educator was the recent purchase winner at the Everhart Museum, Scranton. Until the new wing at the Community Medical Center . is completed, the mural will be installed in the lounge on the neurological floor. In addition to the mural there will be an exhibition of art works by professional artists, including Ms. D'Vorzon. The opening reception will be Sunday, March 6. THE PARTY'SOVER.

"The ~ardest thing is to get a girl to hit you," explained Gene Gorski, president of the Karate Club while referring to the self defense course he's instructing this semester. "I'll stand in front of them and tell them to hit me and they just won't do it." · But when the girls finally do hit Gene, they learn exactly how to hit him and exactly where. The self defense course began after an interest was shown in such an art last semester. Unlike Karate, where one learns definite blocks and punches, the course is designed around individual needs of the st~dents. For example, a girl might ask what to do if two guys grab her on either side and hold both arms. Gene sizes up the girl taking into consideration he; height and weight; and shows her a defense move best suited for her. The core of the course is mental as well as physical relaxation because as Gene explains, "The most important thing is to be able to relax and have control over your body." Therefore, lessons are given in an informal atmosphere and limbering exercises are encouraged. Guys as well as girls take the c?urse just to try something different or to keep in shape for another sport. The course is given on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7: 00 at the gym or the basement of Susquehannak depending on which is available . Anyone interested is invited to come, watch, and try it. Dress is casual - just wear something you can move in. New York Weekend Open To Students Care to spend a weekend in New York City for only $36?

First of all, Terry mentioned the guards on the team that were picking up the slack created by his injury · and the name of Kenny Hughes was omitted. Secondly, and most importantly, a "negative problem developed" at the printers. Pictures got shuffled and we're still waiting for the real Terry Schoento please stand up. (Sit down, Terry.)

Urchin·s, Grunts Keep Their Role In Pefspective By David Orischak The leading intramural basketball teams like Gino's, Sixers, Sons of Softee and others have been the primary recipients of publicity in this column, but what about the heart of the league, the Urchins. This team has spirit that compares with the best of them; the only thing they lack is height. You see, in order to play on this intramural team one must meet one big or is it small requirement. You must be under 5 feet 7 inches tall. It is the only team in the league that uses a step ladder during its pre-game warmup. It is also the only team with a center only 5 feet 4 inches tall, Tim Golden, alias Doctor G' . We had a chance to talk with Tim a few nights ago and discovered that he does not consider his height to be a detriment to his play at center. He has great confidence in his hyrdo-glide sneakers, which he himself patented, to make up any difference in his height. The Urchins are still looking for their first victory, but to them, having a good time is more important. This team also has a policy that everyone gets into every game, even James Johnson, whose pregame warmup consists of two layups, three jump shots and six Schlitz: Grunts, better known as the Vet's Club, is another team that has adopted the 'everyone plays' policy and has achieved great success with it as they are undefeated in B division play.

It seems as though these two teams have captured the true spirit of intramural competition and we should all hope that some of this spirit touches us. Division A games played last week saw USUC IV defeat Butler 71-59. Mike Super was high scorer for USUC with 21. The Playboys defeated Orien's Express 69-54 as Joe Slavoski dumped in 18 points for the winning cause. In the final A division game this week USUC was upset by the Sixers 67-56. The Sixers were led by John Duda's 18 points and the fine defensive play of Jim Michaels. In B division competition, Northern Death beat the Harriers 36-35 in what turned out to be one of the many close games that night. J. Fisch and E. Ohmont each chipped in 13 points for the winners. In another close game, Grunts' Bob Rischman made a layup with only two seconds left on the clock to give his team a 5150 win over the Moonshiners. Tom Rovinski was high scorer for Grunts with 20. In the Final B division Game, Slocoke defeated Jiotel Sterling ij: 45-43. Big John was high scorer for Slocoke with 17. PERSONAL FOULS Sons of Softee have come up with a new pregame warmup drill.

Despite foul trouble, the Wilkes women managed to keep a comfortable lead throughout the contest, as they brought their record to 5 wins and 12 losses. On February 11, Bloomsburg State rolled over the Blue and · Gold with a height ladened lineup to the tune of 75-47. The Colonelettes did well in the first half, scoring 30 points, and coming up only 7 points short at the buzzer. However, the second half brought a tenacious Bloomsburg man-to-man defense, which held the Wilkes' guns to only 17. Prior to·the Bloomsburg game, the Colonelettes lost Julie Kerrick with a strained ankle ligament, and Sue Anne Knight with a knee injury. Sue Anne will undergo surgery on Friday, February 18, for removal of cartilage. The Colonelettes just couldn't bounce back on Tuesday, as they lost to Kutztown, 65-47. Again, the first half was close. The point difference was only two throughout most of that time, but Kutztown used its quickness to THE HUT at Hotel Sterling Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches score three quick baskets just before the clock ran out. A long bomb at the buzzer put them ahead by eight. _The second half was frustrating for the Colonelettes offense, as Kutztown went to a man-to-man defense.

The Colonelettes travel to Elizabethtown today.

All three girls were superstars on the hockey field for the Colonelettes last semester. · Individual scorers for the· Sturdevant team were Geri Hoffman 6; JoAnn Mican, 4; Jan Kadlecick, and Tricia Ryan, 2 points each.'

Both of these players had a large role in Tuesday's heart-stopper against Scranton. Hughes dumped in 10 points including a shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. Zapko garnered 17 points including a hot streak at the start of the second half to J>ring the Colonels into contention. Kendall McNeil also had a lari: le with his hotdogging inciting the crowd as well as a 15 point, 14 rebound performance. There were no discipline problems. There were no allegations of pot. There was no dissention. All there was on Tuesday night at the Wilkes gym were two local basketball teams who came to play. And play they did, in one of the most exciting games in the history of the rivalry. Wilkes vs. Scranton. Just by the very nature of the geographical situation, this was destined to be a hotly contested matchup. But there was more at stake than bragging rights, this was a key game in determining who would qualify for the MAC playoffs. The gym was dramatically hot and crowded and the decibel level was piercing. Scranton's large following swapped insults with the home crowd with as much rapidity as the lead changed hands on the court. The setting was prepared for a tremendously exciting game. Both teams obliged. The Royals of Scranton, defending National Division III champs and currently in the top playoff spot in the MAC, escaped with the overtime victory, but not before the scrappy Colonels of Wilkes extended them to the limit. They knew they were in a ball game. The lead changed hands scores of times before Scranton took a 30-24 lead at the half. But the much maligned Wilkesmen showed their character and came charging out of the dressing room to rally and go ahead by one point at 14 :38. The Colonels have been having a great deal of trouble this season during the latter portions of the game, and have been blowing leads with astonishing ease. This was not the case Tuesday as John Zapko hit four shots in a row to get the Colonels back in the game. Again the lead see-sawed and it was tied at 53 with two minutes remaining and the Royals had the ball. Time for a little more drama. Scranton froze the ball and ran all but six seconds off the clock before'they surged into the lead, 55-53. Tom Donahue, the Colonel quarterback who had just returned to the lineup this week from his ankle injury, took the inbounds pass and made a brilliant pass to Ken Hughes who was all alone because of the double-team on Donahue. Hughes calmly swished a 20-footer as the buzzer sounded, sending the contest into overtime. Coach Rodger Bearde's troops scored first in the extra period. But two in a row by Scranton's Phil Johnson iced the game for the defending champs. It was a very frustrating contest for the Colonels because they played their best &ame of the year and lost. What looms bright in the wake of their heartbreak is the remaining shot at a much treasured playoff berth. They travel to Elizabethtown tonight in a must-win situation. If the Colonels can defeat the Blue Jays they will be assured of at least a tie for a playoff spot. It is here that the MAC race gets quite confusing. Scranton and Albright have already clinched two of the four berths. The other two ~re up for grabs between Upsala, Elizabethtown, Wilkes and Susquehanna. Susquehanna's chances are quite remote. They have one remaining league contest on their schedule and that is with Scranton. Even if they beat the heavily favored Royals, their hopes would rely on Upsala losing both of their remaining games. The Crusaders 5-5 record would not be enough to qualify because of their head to head losses to both Wilkes and ElizabethtQwn. Upsala has the best chance to qualify. They have two games on their MAC slate. Back to back contests with Lycoming and E-Town on Friday and Saturday night will determine their position. All they have to do is split that card to assure them the third slot. In all probability, the fourth spot will go to the winner of the Wilkes-E-Town contest tonight. Wilkes' 5-5 record will be enough to gain the slot on the merit of victories over both Susquehanna and E-Town, who also have 5-5 records. If this seems confusing to you don't worry, it's confusing to just about everyone. There is also the possibility ·of either a three or a four way tie for the final two slots. That would cause a miniplayoff before the MAC's. It ·could get pretty hairy. The bottom line is this however. The Colonels have to win tonight. If they lose they are automatically eliminated and if they win they are automatically assured of at least a tie for the berth. A stunning tribute to a team that was in shambles in mid-season. Wres·tlers To Finish Schedule On The Road By Earl Monk . The Wilkes College Wrestling Team concluded its home schedule last night against the Bisons of Bucknell and will take to the road starting this Saturday for their final three meets of the year. The Colonels were expected to tame the Bisons without too many problems, and then travel to Franklin and Marshall Saturday. They will finish the regular season next week with matches at Montclair State and Rutgers. From the way the Colonels smashed Army this past Saturday their three road opponents had better be prepared to wrestle a team that is beginning to look unbeatable. The Colonels utterly crushed the Black Knights of the Hudson by a 43-0 score in a meet that once more highlighted the four senior guard-captains. Rick Mahonski (126), Bruce Lear (150), arid Dave Gregrow (190) all registered pins , while Lon Salum ( 134) won a lopsided 18-5 decision. All four concluded their home careers at Wilkes last night, and each was looking to finish up in a spectacular way. The four have contributed a 119-50-6 dual meet record in their four years at Wilkes, and have excited Colonel fans with their successes throughout the years. The four seniors were not alone in their heroics against Army. Greg MacLean (158) and Gene Clemons 077) each won superior decisions to contribute to the victory. For Clemons it was his second victory of the week after winning a decision in last Wednesday's 24-13 victory over East Stroudsburg. In that Stroud meet Balum again was a standout, recording the only fall of the night. Mark Dens berger (150 ) hammered out a 19-3 decision and heavyweight Don House continued his winning ways with another superior decision to finish off the Warriors. So, with a 13-3 record (excluding last night's meet), the Colonels look to be on the way to their winningest season ever. Should they win their final four meets it would give them a 17-3 record and break the· current record of 16 victories set in ~ 1972-73. They have now won eight meets in a row , and are flying high as they prepare for the road trip. Their three opponents are relatively good wrestling schools, but as stated before, the Colonels are looking awesome. Coach Reeses' charges seem finally to have blended and the whole key may have been Lon Balum. The Colonels had seemed listless after losing to Syracuse and were fortunate to have five easy matches before Hofstra. Then Balum won the thrilling victory over Nick Gallo, Hofstra, and the Colonels went on to defeat the Flying Dutchmen 21-18. Since then, the Colonels have been overpowering. East Stroudsburg came to Wilkes with a 10-2-1 record and still the Colonels handled them fairly easily. Army came here with a better than average team and yet the Colonels shut them out with ease. The team appears finally to be living up to preseason hopes. So, with the home season at an end, the Reesemen travel to Franklin and Marshall Saturday ; Montclair next Wednesday, and conclude with Rutgers (February 26) in what has turned out to be a very satisfying season. The momentum has picked up, and they may be ready to make some noise in the Eastern Tournament (March 3, 4 and 5). GRAPPLING GAB: Balum (14-4), Gregrow (13-3), Lear (13-3-i), House (12-4 ), Densberger 00-3), and Perry Lichtinger (9-2) have the best dual records on the team . . .Densberger, who is only a freshman, is the third •ranked wrestler in the East at 142.. .Gregrow is ranked third in the East at 190.. .The Jayvees also continued their winning ways by defeating Stroud 23-15 ...Standouts were Rich Nordheim, Bill Karpovich, and Wade Fatool, all freshman . . .Coach John Reese has been released on $100,000 bail until his trail for the capital offenses he committed against the girls' basketball team . . .Judge Roger Bearde has been assigned to the case. UNHAND ME YOU BEAST - Colonels' Bruce Lear struggles to get out of the grasp of his opponent. He was one of the many Colonels to turn in outstanding weeks. The Wilkesmen are incredibly hot and hope to stay that way heading into the EIWA tourney in early March. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
