XXIX, No. 17 Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Lack_Of Adequate Gym Space· Frat Issue Sparks Continues To Pose Problems . The lack of adequate gym facilities caused problems again last Wednesday when three groups, + the Human Services Committee (HSC), the women's basketball team, and the wrestling team, wanted to use the gym, at the same l ime. It was reported that due to a mixup in scheduling, the blood drive sponsored by the HSC was cut short to make room for a J.V. wrestling meet. Meanwhile, the women's basketball team, which had a game the next day, was not able to obtain any practice time. Rumors circulated around campus to the effec t t hat wrestling coa ch and at hletic director John Reese ordered the Red Cross out of the gym because of the meet. However, Steve Kirshner , HSC president, said that although he was told that the blood drive would have to end earlier than planned, " there really wasn't any problem," and Reese definitely did not kick them out. Reese, when contacted by The Beacon, explained that blood drives are usually scheduled from 9 a .m. to 4 p.m., and he was :10t aware that the recent one was to run rrcm 1-6 p.m. until he read about it in The Beacon. He noted that neither Dean Ralston nor Art Hoover, who were responsible for scheduling the blood . dr ive, contacted him to check about the time. He also stated that when he did learn that the drive would extend to 6 p.m., he called Dean Ralston and Hoover to tell them that the women's team needed time for practice. According to Reese, Ralston didn't know the blood drive was scheduled from 1-6 p.m. But, according to Kirshner, the time was cleared through Ralston, and Kirshner personally made the arrangements with the dean. · Dean Ralston explained that the drive was originally set for the usual time of 9 to 4, and it was changed by the HSC and the Red Cross. He stated that he didn't know of the change at first, but Jazz Band In Concert The Wilkes College Jazz Band will be presented in concert on Monday, February 14, at 8 p.m. at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . The program is part of the continuing Concert and Lecture Series. ' J:< 'eatured with the Wilkes Jazz Band will be 22-year-old song stylist Angela Bofill, a New York born singer, who is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music. Miss Bofill was nominated for Best Latin Vocalist for 1975 by the u ,,rk Latin Magazine. approved it because he felt it would be no problem. He also said that arrangements were made for the girls team to use half the court, the team could not be contac¥d and was not informed of the arrangements. Ralston emphasized that there were no problems that day, arid although Reese was " a little anxious" he did not interfere with the drive. HSC President Kirshner also explained that the committee stopped accepting donors at 4:30 in order to finish and pack up before the 6 p.m. meet. " We were out before the spectators started coming in," he said. "I didn't think it was fair to kick the girls out," Reese said. " And I don't think it's fair to ask us to cancel our programs everytime someone needs the uut Continued on Page 6 A hot debat~ ensued over _the issue of havmg a fraternitysorority system at Wilkes during the Student Government meeting Monday night. Steve Connolly, an SG member representing the ad hoc · committee to investigate the possiblity of the fraternity system at Wilkes, stated that over 700 completed surveys were returned to the committee . Because a complete tabulation of the results was not yet finished, Connolly would not give any indication of what the response was like: Connolly 's intention was to merely keep ~G informed as to the committee 's progress . However, tempers flared when SG Treasurer Patti Cullinan and other SG members raised a question about the manner in which the survey was conducted and about the structure of the survey itself. Gina O'Brien, SG president, ByJoeBuckley told Connolly of rumors about people claiming to have filled out several surveys, an action which would invalidate any results. Connolly's general attitude was that he and others who had conducted the survey had ensured valid results, with only a slight margin of error possible. As for the structure and content of the sur vey qeustionnair e, Connolly said tht the survey had been shown to members of the psychology department before the survey was conducted and that the psychology department had looked it over, changed some questions to eliminate bias and · then approved the questionnaire as valid. Dean Edward Balthrchitis, SG advisor , commented on the matter by saying that the college will make a decision in the very near future whether or not to get involved with the fraternity system. Campus To Host Winter Weekend Events By Donna Korba If you are suffering from the mid-February blues and need a break from school work, Winter Weekend may be the answer to your problem. The weekend to keep open is February 18, 19 and 20. The weekend is full of good old fashion activities, something we see so little of around here. Activities will be held on campus this year, with the hope of attracting a bigger turnout and more involvement. To kick off the weekend there wfll be a barn dance on Friday night from 9 to 1 in the gym. The dance will be free to all Wilkes students with an I.D., and free refreshments will be served. Banjo pickin' and fiddlin ' will be furnished by the group "Abelene". A volleyball tournament begins Saturday at 10 a .m. and ends at 1 in the afternoon . A cash prize of $50 will be awarded to the winning team. Students who wish to participate sho_uld have a team of five girls and five guys. You can register by filling out a roster and returning it to the Student Government Office in Weckesser Hall. Later Saturday ( 1-4 ) Paul Bunyan events will take place in the empty lot beside the gym. Many old time activities are on the schedule: making and eating good homemade ice cream, compass reading activities, log sawing contest, tripod building contest, demonstraitons by the First Aid Team, and Dean Baltruchitis will attempt to boil an egg in a paper cup. Numerous trophies will be awarded for the contests. All one has to do is to show up and enjoy. February 10, 1977 Concern Rosetta Chiavac ci, . ~G member, expressed the opm1on that not many people kn~w enough about what a fraternity system actually was when they responded to t he survey. Chiavacci said that people would be better able to decide on the issue if they knew more about . fraternities , what they are for and what they do. On another matter, Academic Committee Cha irman Carl Holsberger reported on the status of the proposal for a decimal grading system. This proposal calls for the introduction of hall grades. The new possible grades would be .5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5. However , such a system would not become fully operational for four years. The first students to receive such hall grades would be the incoming freshman cl~ss, then every class following. Current sophomores, juniors and seniors would be ineligible for the new grading system and would be graded according to the present system until they graduate.

Dean Liacouras and members of the Temple Admissions Department will meet with the Wilkes students from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Placement Center and discuss law school opportunities at the university. Since being named, in June 1972, Dean of Temple University School of Law, one of the nation's largest law schools , Dean Liacouras has taken decisive action to help move the Temple Law School into national and international prominence. He has moved on many fronts: innovative reforms in curri culum ; educational and service programs foc using on both local and world-wide needs; recruitment of an outstanding and diversified faculty, staff and student body ; and the development of a new spirit and sense of pride am ong the s tudents, faculty, and graduates of the Temple Law School. The remarkable advance at Temple Law School was reported by outside evaluators following a complete reinspection of the law school last year. Accompanying Dean Liacouras to Wilkes-Barre will be Sandra Weckesser, dean of admissions, and Carlton S. Clark, director of the special admission s and curriculum experiments program. j . .

Recently, there have been reports concerning the use of some school owned vehicles, namely the old station wagon that formerly belonged to the Emergency Alert Team and the two vans parked near Conyingham Art Gallery.

SORTING IT ALL OUT - Finding the right · place for each piece of mail that enters Wilkes every day is a task that requires .attention. Gettinl! Mailroolll ED1ploy~es Sort Mail, Send Many Strange Parcels By Mary Stencavage There's an old saying that goes; Neither rain, snow, sleet nor gloom of night stops the mail from getting through. This could very well serve as the motto for the Wilkes College mailroom, which is located in one corner of the bookstore. Thanks to the dedication of the individuals who work there, the hundreds of pieces of mail which arrive at Wilkes daily find their destination in a minimal amount of time. Mrs. Louise Burke, is the . cheerful, friendly person who works behind the counter each day. Along with Mr. Harry Smith, better known around campus as "Squire", and Karen Olney, a junior from Monroe, Ct., Mrs. Burke sees that the mail reaches the different dorms, departments and offices. THE HUT at Hotel Sterling Specializing In:. Hoagies And All .Kinds Of Sandwiches - It's not an easy job. Each day at 7 a.m. the mail arrives in sacks along with packages and intercollege mail. The first class mail is sorted first and then the job starts on packages and the rest of the mail. Sometimes the packages can contain the strangest things, like live frogs and mice, which were sent ( quickly) to the bio. department. Once someone emptying a mail. sack reached in and pulled out a baby alligator! It seems that the "passenger" had gotten out of his container and was squirming around in the sack. The alligator had been sent to a student by some friends from Florida! ) Mrs. Burke, who has efficiently tackled the mailroom for nine years now, has warm feelings for the students at Wilkes. " I .-------l!m:W1 Book And II Record Mart I I I In ; ~ wouldn't go anyplace else to work," she commented, "I love the students. " She also attends . many productions and sporting events at Wilkes, most recently the wrestling meets. One rule that has been established and enforced is the time of pickup of mail. The hours have been set from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Burke explained that it was established because by that time, most of the sorting has been done and the mail is ready for pickup. Sometimes, especially after holidays, there are tons of mail which take time to sortand separate. Stamps and bus tokens for commuters can also be purchased at the desk. Commuter Council r.ecently presented a plaque to Mrs. Burke for her work. And so each day the mail gets to the different buildings on the · Wilkes Campus despite rain, Andrew Shaw , special assistant to president Capin, after being asked about these grievences, reported. l. The old station wagon at Koycan Hall was donated to the College. The car is in terrible condition now and it will be sold as scrap metal at a fair market price at the earliest possible date. 2. The yellow van is the property of Wilkes College and is used by any organization on campus, provided the organization has departmental approval. However, because of a laxity on the part of the students to fill out the required .forms properly, it has fallen into disrepair. An examination of several of these forms shows that the majority of students reported little or no problems with the van. When one of the maintenance men checked the van, it needed three quarts of oil, gasoline, needed to have the brakes adjusted, and had to be inspected. All of these measures should have been taken by the last person to use the van. The only way that the administration learns about problems with these vehicles is through these "Report Sheets" ·which are to be filled out by every user. People who use the van are urged to fill out the forms more carefully and to report any problems. 3. The blue van belongs to the athletic department and it is responsible for its upkeep. The van is used for transportation to and from sporting events. SGfrom page 1 checked into. According to SG Vice President Steve Esrick, Wilkes could possibly reserve dates to use the armory that are not already being held for the army and other organizations. But it would be an expensive venture because the base rental fee for the armory is $47 per hour. When questioned about the possibility of a new gym being · built within a few years, Baltruchitis responded by giving a list of the college's priorities which he said he had received from President Capin. These priorities are: ( 1) the construction of a new high rise dormitory because of the growing numbers of resident students and to enable the college to tear down many of the costly older buildings. (2) a new gym complex to accommodate the growing interest in women's athletics; (3) the recovery of one million dollars from the federal government for flood recovery efforts; ( 4) upgrading existing buildings. . Baltruchitis continued by saying that the college would start a capital gifts campaign to raise funds to pay for the estimated ten million dollar cost of the programs listed as priorities. Although he said that he had received that list on Monday, which would indicate that this is the college's most recent list of pr icriiies , he stressed that the list and any action on it were only temporary and not definite. 18 S.

Indeed, the seven telephones situated here must trigger many a conversation, so to speak. ·Because of its betraying quality, the painting at first glance might also bring about a slight confusion. In truth only one of the phones is legitimate, and a casual desire to pick up the receiver to dial a friend might beget unforgettable embarrassment if the caller is not careful. Mrs. Berenice D'Vorzon, the instigator of these "phonies," described the mural as only one phase in an ·ongoing mural project.

FALCONE BEVERAGE "For All Your Beverage Neeas " 329 SOUTH MAIN STREET Call -654-6767 or 822-7572 PITTSTON, PA. The college radio sta tion, WCLH, recently received an affirmative response to an application made to the Federal Communication Commissions for a power or wattage increase. The station has since applied to the Department of Health, Education , and Welfare for grants to finance some new equipment which will be needed, mainly a transmitter. The radio sta tion is currently shar ing broadcasting facilitie~ with WNEP-TV. According to Station Manager Jay Finkelstein, the most important aspect of the power increase is that WCLH will reach more people in more areas, although he declined to cite any specific distances. The quality of the station's signal will · also improve. . Finkelstein also commented on the fact that the hours of 7 to 9 p.m. will, from now on, be reserved for primarily educational programming as opposed to entertainment. This is in accordance with a recent FCC ruling which requires a certain amount of educational programming on all colle&e educational radio stations during prime-time hours, 7 to 9 p.m . These hours, however, are not the only ones r eserved fo r educational braodcasting a t WCLH. "Our programming right now is about 70 percent educational, and 30 percent enter ta in men t , ' ' s a i d Finkelstein. He explained that the word " educational" refers to programs and features of an informative or cultural nature. "For instance, we broadcast a jazz program three to five p.m. weekdays which we consider cultural." The WCLH schedule also ineludes such features as religious music on Sundays, folk music, opera, Classical Showcase (twelve to three weekdays), and regular public-service announcements. "We also broadcast shows created and produced by Wilkes faculty members, like Dr. Turoczi's 'Biological Perspectives,' and a show by Colonel Wing," the station manager added. When asked whether he thought enough students took an active interest in the school radio station, Finkelstein replied, "There's just too much apathy. WCLH is different from most of the other student activities on campus in that it serves the entire community, and not just the college. Working at the station can be a very broad learning experience for any student willing to give a little time." Finkelstein ended by encouragingany interested students to come up to the WCLH office and fill out an application. This application, plus a two dollar check will be sent to the FCC, and the student will receive something called a " provisional, " which is a type of permit to broadcast. WCLH offices are located on the third floor of Darte Hall, and the telephone extension is 360. The emergency blood drive, held last Wednesday for the American Red Cross, proved to be a success, as 172 pints of blood were donated. According to Human Services Committee spokesman Steve Kirshner, the student turnout was very good, but the faculty turnout was "really poor," as only six members donated. Kirshner noted that the committee had hoped to receive between 150 and 200 pints for the drive, and so they were "very pleas~d" with the final total. Human Service Committee members are shown above assisting with the blood drive. Co-chairmen for the drive were Scott Becker and Debbie Thompson. Since a number of people were turned away because the drive closed earlier than the 6 p.m. deadline, Kirshner noted that they may donate blood any day at the Red Cross Building, qext to Weckesser Hall, since the Red Cross is always in need of blood. He also pointed out that last week's donors may still participate in the Human Services Committee's regular blood day April 21.

More specifically the journa list stated, " F rom a source extrem ely close to the team , we have determined Nardelli a nd Kendall McNeil were caught s moking pot befor e a recent ballgame." The journalist goes on to say that, "our sources tell us it wasn't the first time." According to the Sunday newspaper's colum n The Beacon carried, "a stor y on the controversy, but nobody ha s told precisely what happened." The Beacon "did" carry a story regarding "discipline problems" on the basketball team, however, the reason we did not print "precisely what happened" is that there appears to be many sides to the story, and our journalistic integrity warrants us to publish "accurate" information and not heresay. · Secondhand information is questionnable evidence in reporting the news. We at The Beacon see news to be the facts. Just how iwportant it was for the columnist to mention that, "assistant coach Jim Zardecki doubles as a county detective and knows the smell of grass when hw whiffs it", is unknown to us. Just how the .columnist can claim to have such expertise as to "determine Nardelli and McNeil were caught smoking pot," is also unknown to us. Who caught them? What tests were made on them? Apparently the Sunday newspaper is more interested in gossip and heresay than facts and evidence. Allegations regarding moral or legal behaviorare serious allegations and ought to be supported by facts and evidence. T he "reporter" purports to suppor t m orals in the Wyom ing Valley area, yet apparently the columnist feels his information should be shared with the rea dership before sharing it with authorities, college officials, or the individuals involved. Such journalism , in our opini0n, suggests the possibility that the writer may have other motives than merely reporting the news. While Wilkes College does not condone illegal or immoral activities, we also do not condone publishing allegations surrounding one's .character or behavior without having the facts. It seems to us that the journalist should remember that people are guaranteed rights under the Constitution of the United States. We learn in our political science classes than as an American, we possess certain unalienable rights, one of which states that a "person is innocent until proven guilty". According to an article in " Pennsylvania Education" , dated September 1975, "From the Washington Post down to the one-page news sheet, responsible and fair journalism must be practiced. In these and all other forms of expression, what is said and written must be the truth." If a reporter feels his " source" has the " facts " then let him present them to the appropriate authorities for action, instead of hiding behind a desk taking " cheap shots " that we def him to • • • .BEACON BITS SENIORS If you have not returned your proofs for your senior pictures to Ace Hoffman Studios, please do so immediately.

I We were very pleased to finally read in The Beacon an editorial comment relating to the ignorance of the wrestling team at a recent home girl's basketball game. This particular instance was not unique in itself, having occurred many times throughout the years. I really don't think that waiting three minutes longer would have had any great effect on the outcome of their season. This is a fine example of what Coach Reese thinks of women's basketball, athletics a nd anything else unrelated to wrestling. Recently, the hours in the gym were shortened and the men's intramural basketball games were started one hour early. As a result of this, and Coach Reese's adament refusal to shorten wrestling practice by any amount, the women's Polar Bear Remembers To The Editor: On January 9-14 the Wilkes College Polar Bear Club held the most exciting and successful ski trip ever to Smuggler' Notch Vermont. The trip began at 5 in the morning on January 9 with 90 people gathering around the Wilkes gym for a breakfast of Dunkin' Donuts and coffee. At 6 a .m. the buses left, and at 6: 05 the parties began. Although it was a long ride, we arrived about an hour-and-a half earlier than we expected. This gave everyone a chance to eat, drink and be merry, and also to watch the end of the Superbowl. The officers had a " re-get to know each other" party for everyone getting skiing partners later that evening. It may have been the coldest winter in Vermont for nine years, but you would never know it when almost the entire 90 people were skiing as soon as the lifts opened the following morning. The whole week we were blessed with about a foot and a-half of snow, providing skiing conditions never seen in the Poconos. After the brisk Monday, Wilkes had the heated indoor pool reserved; with wine on the side for the beginning of the evening. Some people thought they were in Sweden and went rolling in the snow after their sauna. Later in the evening and the next two evenings to follow everyone hit the Smuggler 's night spots. By Thursday everyone had a lot of skiing behind them and entered the Wilkes Nastor races. That night, we reserved a room in the barn to award trophies and Nastor racing medals, and a few other surprises. Well the week flew by, and before anyone knew it Friday was upon it us and it was time to leave. We all appreciated the fa ntastic job the officers of the Polar Bear- Club did in putting together a weekend of this kind. Much thanks to Millie Wysocki, president; Michael 1Anger, vice president ; Steve Bailey ; treasurer and Dr. Karpinisch, advisor, and Ken Rex, ~ past president. The Wilkes Polar Bear Club has been skiing weekly, so if you are interested watch for the signs. Anyone who wishes to purchase club T-shirts contact Mike Anger, Room 240, NMD, phone 829-9160, or extention 408. Thanks again, A Polar Bear basketball team has been forceu to cut their practice time by 50 percent! , Coach Reese not only evicted the women, but also threw out, last Wednesday, the Red Cross during their emergency blood drive; so his wrestlers could run around the gym and lose weight. J ohn Reese, it would be a tragedy indeed, if one of your wrestlers should need blood and could not obtain any. Excuse us, but isn't this Wilkes College and not Reese 's Wrestling Camp ? Think about it ! Sincerely yours, Karen M. Olney, Lenore E. Weiss Ad Hoe's Q _ uestio nnaire Lacks Objectives Over the past week a questionnaire has been circulating campus that states neither its objectives, or defines its guidelines. The questionnaire has been circulated by the Ad Hoc Committee on fraternities and sororities. Just what organization the ad hoc committee is associated with is another interesting point. Student Government, Interdormitory Council and Commuter Council all claim that the committee is not associa ted with them. School officials claim that they are not backing the committee, so therefore, it appears the ad hoc committee is ad hoc of itself. The thought-provoking questionnaire that they are distributing states that the committee is "conducting an investigation into the feasibility of a fraternity-sorority system." However, the questionnaire fails to point out exactly how they hope to achieve such feasibility. In another line of the questionnaire it states, "while all fra ternities and s or orities have certain features in common the system being presently proposed will be set up with the needs and require ments of the Wilkes College Comm unity in mind." One is brought to wonder just what these needs a nd requirements are that the committee has in mind. Fraternities and sororities have been known to run a spectrum of purposes from community service, to purely social. Just what the ad hoc committee's idea of a fraternity-soror ity system is, is anyone's guess. The specific questions that appear on the questionnaire don't have a lot to do with the proposed system. The first question asks the student his opinion on, "the social atmosphere at Wilkes." Qµestion two rephrases the fi rst question, - and question three is almost identica l to question two. Qµestion four asks if the student feels "fraternities a nd sororities should exist on the Wilkes College campus." The next to the last question asks the student "would you be interes ted in joining one." The last question is very thought provoking, "any suggestions or comments? " The Beacon has always advocated interest in, and investigation into alternatives to the present system at Wilkes. However , investigations a nd questionnaires a r e only meaningful if they are s traight-forward in design. How a nd where this present committee plans to augm ent a fraternitysorority system a re questions that should be answered.

By Llsa Waznik "D Ill co Cl) u, 'Tl Cl) a 2 .,Ill -< The College Fuel Economist ---'"=~---·=-------="-·· What does Nigel Gray do that is interesting? Wait a minute, what does Nigel Gray do that ISN'T interesting ? That 's a hard question to answer. Well, to start, the junior engineering major is a photography buff. It is a little more than a hobby, however, since he does do work for weddings and even for the Amnicola, our yearbook. He has been at this for about ten years or as he puts it, " Ever since my dad gave me my first camera." Nig el likes landscape photography more than portrait work and just loves to take pic-·tures around the Wilkes campus. "I have a big box full of pictures. About five to seven hundred of them are of p~ople of • Wilkes and the school grounds. " This cold winter has got us all down, but the burning desire of the Wilkes family will keep us warm throughout these winter months . Here is Conserva Killowatt, the college fuel economist, to give us an idea of just what the college has done to conserve energy around the campus. Remember every watt wasted is just added to your tuition next year. · Coru.erva: Hello, Conserva Killowatt here, and I am standing in the Wilkes College Commons where I will begin my tour of the Wilkes Campus and illustrate how saving energy is really ·saving your tuition. With me is Sophie, boss of-the commons. Sophie, we realize that this energy crisis is a burden on everyone but what changes have you made around the campus watering hole? Sophie: Well, Conserva, we stopped serving hot foods to keep the stoves off. We use raw egg in the egg salad, no more toast, iced tea and coffee and frozen fish sandwiches. I don't think the students mind though because they say they hardly notice the difference. We've even turned off our refrigerators and put the food in the back yard. Coru.erva: What has this done to the cost? Sophie: Well, sorry to say it has increased because we had to buy two cats to keep the mice away from the food out back. Coru.erva: Why that's· a tasty bit of news. Why here is Joe Marchetti, our Housing Director. How has the cold bug bitten you, Joe? Joe : We had a lot of cutbacks including cutting out all dorm power. I've installed glow in the dark stickers so people can sort of grope around for their things. We eat dinner by candlelight, very romantic, you know. Instead of students playing their stereos, I go around to each dorm whistling through the halls. I try to meet every request. For those students with electric alarm clocks, Mrs. Conway has volunteered a morning wake up call service. Coru.erva : Are the students cold? Are there heaters in the dorms? Joe: We supplied every student with a blanket and a flashlight and told them to find a way to keep warm, however, some students said they didn't need a flashlight for what they were going to do. I don't really understand. Oh, well. , Nigel has his own developing equipment and has a full scale darkroom at his home in Guilford, Connecticut. At school he uses the old Photography Club darkroom in Shawnee Hall. " The club is defunct now, but a few of us are still on campus and still use the room, along with the Photography class." Nigel will also be doing some work for the new Public Relations Director, Doug Rubinstein, for the new Alumni Magazine. " I do it mostly for the enjoyment. At a sports event, I like to take pictures of the crowd. I try to find the artistic things around campus. You'd be surprised at the way some people don't like getting their picture taken. Some really get bitter. " Nigel Gray "I do mostly custom work, but I haven.'t much time for that this semester.'' The craftsman says he usually The picture nut really thought gets about $12 for a belt and of photography as a profession at around $35 for a custom purse.

He builds tables, chairs, and shelves and sometimes even upholsters them with leather. " My father taught me most of this hobby. I mostly make things for myself, though, not for other people. " · Nigel went to St. Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a few years before coming to Wilkes. He also worked in a machine shop for a while. " I also enjoy scuba diving, boats, and electronics. I think I'd like to try parachuting, too. I think I'd like to try everything once. " With his electronic skills, Nigel builds amplifiers and sound systems. He was also involved in the discos that we had on campus a few years ago. " I've made mixing boards for my friends too. I'd like to see some more of those discos on campus but it's hard to get the gym." How did Nigel wind up at Wilkes? " Well, my dad has a few degrees, and his doctorate. Doctor Rozelle, who is associated with the Hahnemann program, studied for his doctorate under my father 's supervision. He knew some people around here and they sent me an application, and here I am." For those who think school takesup a lot of free time just take a look at this fellow and think a while. In the future, some of his fondest college memories may be the ones associated with these hobbies. · Coru.erva: Thank you, Joe . And here we have Bill Gasbarro, chairman of the music department. What "measures" have you taken Bill? Mr. Gasbarro: As I always say you must be resourceful. So we have added a new course in lieu of the visscisitudinal circumstances. To conserve energy we have turned a nebulus of the lights off in the practice rooms and replaced them with candalabras. This has led to the institutionalization of the new "Piano Performance In The Style of Liberace 101" course. You must always be resourceful. Coru.erva: "I' ve "noted" the "intervals" that you have taken. Keep in "tune." Nowwe go to Dr. Erickson and his solution to the fuel shortage. Dr. Erickson: Stark Hall is in full operation since Dr. T09le and I devised a new energy source. We have hooked up a system that generates energy when my little hamsters r.un the treadmill. We tell them we'll take them to the cheese shop after ·a workout and they run so fast we can heat Stark Hall. Coru.erva: Very good, Dr. Erickson, but what if Sophie's cats should decide to pay Stark a visit. Dr. Erickson: Well, I think Dr. Rigley's Animal Behavior class has a few spare dogs running around. You never know what that man has up there. · Coru.erva: Well, that about wraps things up here on the Wilkes campus. I hope you are all trying your best in these trying times.

The visitation committee has written 14 new letters to other colleges concerning their policies. These letters will be sent out this week.

LL c Students Asked To Tutor At 'Y' Wilkes College students are urged to give educational assistance, one hour a week, to pupils from low to very modest income homes, in the Tutorial Program of the YWCA, 40 W. Northampton Street. Initiated in 1964, Tutorial, with the assistance of volunteer tutors, gives free aid in basic school subjects ( grades 1 through 12), familiarizat ion of our language, and high school equivalency preparation to those who cannot afford paid tutors. . United Way of Wyoming Valley has helped Tutorial since 1972 because of the need for compe nsatory education and the value to many community agencies and citizens. Tutoring is on a one-to-one basis, using school textbooks. Tutors help improve academic achievement, more positive attitudes toward self and school, and help avert many school failures. Education majors find the volunteer tutoring gives them the chance to make useful, needed contributions to individual children or teenagers while adding to their own ability. ( Many include YWCA Tutorial in job resumes.) Mrs. Edward R. Janjigian, volunteer director of tutorial, urges you to choose one hour between 3-7 p.m. on either Monday or Tuesday, subject and grade level of your own pupil. Call her at YWCA, 823-0181 or if possible, come in between 11 and noon on Monday or Tuesday. Come in the YWCA, 40 W. Northampton Street door , go straight down hall to desk, turn left, and follow signs to Tutoring Office ... which has moved to the lower level. A report from the Student Union Board stated that a real crack down on party policy is now in effect. The pr ocedure of running a party at the SUB must be followed or else the party will be cancelled. This was almost the case for the class of 1978 which started selling tickets for a SUB party before it was even registered. So many tickets were sold that the party couldn't be cancelled. In the future, groups sponsoring a party must follow t he set procedure. President Bruce Lear reported that the money granted to the Ad Hoc Investigating committee for its expenses has been taken back. The committee is a committee of the college, not IDC, and therefore the administration will pay the expenses. The St. Patrick's Day party will be held Sunday afternoon, March 20. Some people feel having the party in the afternoon was not a smart idea. However, uncontrollable circumstances at Gus Genetti's last year prove that Sunday afternoon is the best time.

Berryman , acting chairman of the Environmenta l Science Department, did most of his graduate work in climatology. This obvious interest in weather has developed into an extens ive study of our local weather conditions . By using data and statistics on regional weather patterns , Berryman sees a pattern of winter weather developing. The data he used in this study covers the last 80 years, encompassing the temperature , heating degree days, snowfall, and rain. Berryman studied this statistical analysis to determine if trends exist. Then, ·he determined if there were any indication of a January thaw and February cold spell, also known as singularities. He found that, on the average , the week of January 18-25 was warmer tha n the prev ious week a nd the following week. Statistica lly, a thaw the third week of January occurs 60% of the years. Dr. Berryman is quick to add , "This is not a prediction or forecast. It is the probability of what will happen bas ed on statistics.'' Will futu re winter s be a s horrendous as this one, as some forecas ters predict? According to Berryman and his st.afr,ti('s. f.r.r.r.r.r.rSURPWSRECORD.r.r.r.r.r.r.r1 ~ I 8 8 and TAPES Penn Plaza Shopping CTR Open 10 to 10 Every D a y ~ Absolutely the Lowest Prices on Records and Tapes Anywhere!

He also commented that there would have been no problem if someone had checked with him before schedulingthe blood drive. "They could have had the whole day ," he said, " but they set a different time without telling us. " Kirshner explained that he and . Ralston both agreed that 1-6 p.m. would be the best time for the drive. In another gym-related matter, Reese was asked why the wrestling team pulled its mats along the sidelines when there was 2: 59 left to play during a women's basketball game . " We were supposed to practice at 4," he said, " and we waited around for 45 minutes just doing nothing. We got a little edgy waiting to get started, and we pulled the mats to the sideline to get ready to move them onto the floor when the game was over. " I didn 't think it was out of line and I didn't think it bothered them ( the girls ) at all." Dr . Lester Turoczi of the Biology department as their advisor. · One of the committee's big projects on campus is the blood donor drives held semi-annually. When an emergency need for blood is evident though, the Red Cross may request an emergency blood donor day to be held by the committee. This was just the case last week. Kirshner noted that the next scheduled blood donor day is April 21 and their goal is 300 pints. A service of the committee ·is the Emergency Aler t Team which offers 24 hour a dax first aid coverage on campus. The team, however, is working with inadequate facilities . "We were promised a vehicle at all times and this promise hasn't been fulfilled" says Kirshner . There have been many instances that Kirshner cited where a patient is in need of transportation to the hospitai and has had to wait up to 45 minutes for a vehicle to be obtained. Kirshner would like to see a vehicle parked outside Pickering Hall, where the Emergency Alert Team is stationed, at all times so that there will be no more delays. Courses in Cardio Pulmonary Recuscitation (CPR) and First Aid are available to students from the committee. The CPR course is offered every Sunday night in the cafeteria between 7:00 and 10:00. The course takes about two to three weeks to complete and the committee feels it is a very worthwhile course to take. Interested students can start any Sunday. Students interested in the fi rst aid course should contact Mike Barth of Colonel 's House for information on starting dates and location. _ Tbe committee also offers a great deal of services to the community. Tutoring programs at the YMCA, Crippled Children programs at the Kirby Health Center and first aid coverage at community events are just a few .

Grante<i the team has been having som~ internal problems· as well as problems on the court, but his comments were totally unjustifie<i. He, just as any other member of the me<iia, has the right to comment and criticize anything he thinks deserving. He doesn't, however, have the right to be judge and jury in a controversial issue. It is my belief that he went beyond his journalistic rights when he levie<i criminal charges against Tony Nardelli and Kendall McNeil. He attribute<i a fe<ieral offense to the actions of the two Wilkes athletes which has yet to be substantiate<i in fact. Whether or not the players actually committe<i the act is beside the point. Proof that it happene<i is lacking at this time and before something appears in print for the whole world to see, the author had better be able to prove it. ' Rauscher cre<iits his information to one source who is "extremely close to the team". One source is not exactly what could be terme<i investigative reporting. He didn't even talk to the persons involve<i. I talke<i to Tony Nardelli this week and he is very upset. Understandably very upset. "Charges like that could ruin me for life. What happens when I go to look for a job? He didn't even call to give me a chance to defend · myself. His charges were false and the whole article was ridiculous ," commente<i Tony. Rauscher's article was substantiate<i on here-say. Gossip is not a very good place to start to get information for a column. Journalism depends on facts, not locker room gossip. · Obviously, Rauscher doesn't realize the impact of his column. The power of the press is not something to be taken lightly, especially when the consequences of the act are so dire. When journalists are too lazy to go out and get the facts , their columns become nothing but glorifie<i gossip columns. Rauscher and Rona Barrett make a cute pair. We live in America, a country where a person is innocent until proven guilty. Until eyewitnesses to the alle<iged crime testify, there is no case. Nardelli and McNeil have constitutional rights. Rauscher's zeal for his "scoop" trie<i to rob the players of their rights and in doing so - committe<i a gross injustice to Nardelli, McNeil, Coach Rodger Bearde, and to the entire Wilkes College community. MARQUIS ART and FRAME Art Supplies and Picture Frames 217 South Main Street, WILKES BARRE FRAIL SCORING - Mary Jo Frail, one of the Colonelettes leading scorers, pumps one from the outside. The women's basketball team has rebounded from early season problems and has been making a strong showing during the last half of the season. Led by Frail, Dotty Martin, Lynn Yedlock, Sharon Wilkes , and Karen Olney, the Colonelettes are very competitive. (P hoto by Bill Walsh) Schoen: Waiting Game Hy Ed White Fran Tarkenton, Minnesota Viking's quarterback, is still waiting to win the big one. Jimmy Carter waited between election day and January 20 before he was -officially named president. And President Capin is nervously waiting to see what happens in the months of February and March, concerning the energy shortage. Now, Terry Schoen must wait. Wait till next year, as the old saying goes. Schoen is a senior business administration major, from Scranton. He was a member of the Colonel basketball team until a broken tibia in his ankle ended this year 's competition for the former All-Leaguer at Bishop Hannon High School. Terry came down on another player's foot in the first preseason scrimmage. He had to wear a cast for six weeks, putting transferring from Quinnipiac him out of action for the year. College.

I know if I was in there it would be different, but we are not hurting at the guar d position wjth Tom (Donahue), Nick ( Holgash), Artie ( Meigh), and others filling in." Terry added some thoughts on what Coa ch Rodger Bearde might do to help the team next year. "Coach Bear de will probably try to recruit a quick guard and a big man, maybe 6-8 or 6-9.

In the other A division game played that night, Orien's Express was defe ated by the Faculty 60-55. Bill Molner lead the Express with 18 points. In the last A game of the week, top ranked Gino's had an easy time with Sixers 63-43. Again, it was Gene Marinelli and Dave Dudick who carried Gino's with 17 and 12 points respectively. In B division action, STX continued to shot their strength by beating a much weaker Slocum squad. John Larkin did a fine job on defense, holding Gary Toczylowski to 34 points, but this stalwart effort was not enough as STX nipped Slocum 91-29. Bill Manley was very pleased with the play of his Slocum squad and stated that with a few breaks the game could have gone the other way. In other B action, Grissmon pulled out a close one over the Warhead's 49-44. Ray Pamoico's 30 points was not enough to help the Warhead's in this contest; it was the more balanced scoring attack of Grissom that turned the tide. At the end of this week there remained five undefeated teams in the B division: Outlaws, Grunts, Desperados, Dirksen and Prep H. A division standings were not available at press time. PERSONAL FOULS One of the big stories on the intramural scene was the trade that sent the legendary Gary (Cape Klonowski) Toczyloski to the STX squad.

By Earl Monk The Wilkes College wrestling team is in the process of putting the finishing touches on what has been an outstanding home stretch. 1'he Colonels met archrival East Stroudsburg last night in what was expected to be a toss-up similar .to last Saturday's 21-18 win over Hofstra. The Colonels will then conclude the home season by facing Army this Saturday and Bucknell next Wednesday . Looking ahead to Army and Bucknell, Wilkes will be favored in both meets , although either team has enough talent to upset the Colonels. The Colonels defeated Army 27-18 last year and this will be their initial meeting with the. Bisons of Bucknell. Last Saturday;s 21-18 victory over Hofstra saw perhaps the greatest ever individual performance by a Wilkes wrestler, when Lon Balum defeated Nick Gallo. Gallo who is the number two ranked wrestler in the country at 126 had moved up a weight class and came to Wilkes with an outstanding 21-1 record. He has been chosen to wrestle for the East in this year's East-West AllStar matchup. However, he ran into much more than he wanted in the person of Balum. Lon, wrestling at his usual fanatical pace, came back from an early 5-1 deficit to defeat Gallo 10-8. In the end it was Balum's conditioning that won the bout as Gallo gave up a takedown in the last fifteen seconds. Heavyweight Dan House came through with some heroics of his own in the Hofstra match. With the bout tied 18-18, House took a 5-2 decision to win the match for the Colonels. Other outstanding bouts were turned in by 126 pounder Rick Mahonski and 167 pounder Gene Clemons, with both wrestlers coming up with pins in the second period. Also a bit of praise mu~t go to two wrestlers who lost against Hofstra. Bart Cook 077 ) wrestled despite being very sick and weak. Cook was bothered by severe stomach pains yet hung tough and almost pulled out a win, just narrowly losing 15-13. Had the Colonels forfeited that ' weight, the meet would have ended in a tie. At 190 Dave Gregrow put on a courageous showing before he had to default in the second period. Hofstra's Aurel Balaianu forced the disqualification with three or four head butts, one which knocked Gregrow out cold. Coach John Reese finally decided to pull Dave off the mat rather than risk serious injury. The Colonels also defeated Binghamton State last week by a 35-14 score. Individual standouts in that meet were Gregrow, Perry Lichtinger 077), Mark Densberger (150), and Alex Grohol (142). Gregrow won a 21--0 decision over former high school teammate Bill Janson, while Lichtinger, Densberger, and Grohol recorded pins. So, the Colonels started this homestand successfully and look to fi nish that way. After the Bucknell meet next Wednesday the Colonels will then finish the regular season on the road at Franklin and Marshall, Montclair State, and Rutgers. Their record currently stands at 11-3 and should they win these final six matches it would give them their best record ever.

(Photo by Bill Walsh) :::'J:!@?ffl%~ TAKE ME FOR A RIDE - Lon Balum wrestled the match of his life last week against Hofstra. He defeated Nick Gallo who was only the number two ranked wrestler in the country and owner of a 23-1 record. Lon continues in the fine line of outstanding wrestlers in the Balum family from Muncy. His brother Dana is the wrestling coach at Coughlin High School, perennial powers in the Wyoming Valley Conference. Lon has come on strong recently and is hoping to get h"t for the Easterns coming up soon. Beating Gallo was a good way to start. By Jeff Acornley "Our backs are to the wall." "There's no tomorrow." "It's do or die. " These are some of the old cliches that are dogging the Colonel basketball team this week as they prepare for their one last ditch shot at a playoff berth . The Colonels had what could be termed a successful week, despite their 1-2 record. Nonconference losses to Susquehanna and Bloomsburg State damaged their overall record and a little pride, but the Wilkesmen are hanging tough in the MAC race with a road victory last Saturday against Drew University. The team journeyed to Selinsgrove last Wednesday to play the Crusaders of Susquehanna University and came away with dizzy spells, not to mention another loss. The Colonels sorely missed the defense of Tommy Donahue as his quick guard counterpart, Mike Schieb, literally dribbled the Colonels to death. Schieb and Co. almost scored at will through the pourous Wilkes defense. Despite high scoring by the Colonels Jeff Baird (16), Ken Hughes (16) , Kendall McNeil (12 ) and John Zapko (12); Schieb controlled the ball and the ball game with his dazzling moves. The Colonels had beaten SU earlier in the season so this one didn't count in the MAC standings. The Colonels other loss of the week came in the hands of a very strong Bloomsburg State club on Monday . Wilkes hung tough and closed to within one point with eight minutes left in the game but the Huskies reeled off 12 straight points to put it out of reach, 8Hi9. Kendall McNeil paced the Colonels scoring with 24 markers while John Zapko chipped in 16. The most important matchup last week was Saturday's trip to Madison, N.J. Drew University isn ' t what one would call a basketball powerhouse, but the game was none-the-less vital to the Colonels already feeble playoff hopes. Our heroes got five players in double figures with John Zapko leading the pack with 22. Nick Holgash and Matty Peterson followed with 14 a piece and Ken Hughes and Kendall McNEii ·contributed 12 points each. The Colonels entertain Madison FDU tonight and P hiladelphia Pharmacy Saturday, both nonconference games. Their real test of fire starts on Tuesday when Scranton comes to town. The Royals are the defending National Division III champs and will present a stern challenge. If the Colonels can get by Scranton, their playoff hopes will come down to the matchup with Elizabethtown on the road. Wilkes' current record is 5-12, but their 4-4 log in the MAC is keeping them in contention for the playoffs. Earlier in the year Coa~h Rodger Bearde stated that a 64 record should be enough to qualify for post-season honors. It's been a long and frustrating year for the Colonels. Dissention and injuries have taken their toll. Tony Nardelli, Gordie Miller , and Gary Toczylowski have all left the team while Terry Schoen, Bob Welsh and Tom Donahue have been shelved with injuries. · Donahue is going to test his injured ankle this week in practice in an _attempted comeback bid. Ken Hughes is also expected to recover fully from a bad cold that has been bothering him for weeks. Qµalification for the playoffs would be the Colonels ultimate satisfaction in a season of discontent. The problems are hopefully · behind them and they've survived · in relatively good shape. This season doesn't have to be a sacrificial lamb. This coming week will reveal much about the character of the Colonel basketball team. Swimming Team -Clobbers Lycoming 'Consistent is the word you can use to describe the Wilkes Swim team. If Wilkes takes a first, Wilkes takes a second. If Wilkes takes a second place, in third place is another Wilkes swimmer. Some of the winning combinations in Saturday's victorious meet over Lycoming College are: Paul Neidzwieki and Cindy Glawe taking first and second in the diving; Alan Shaw and Carol Piatt taking first and second in the 200 yard breaststoke event; and Jim Edwards and Lisa Waznik taking first and second in the 200 yd. butterfly. By Lisa Waznik Then there are the second and third place combinations of Bill Manley and Jeff .Tones in the 60 yard freestyle and Melita Maguire and Jeff Boberick in the 500 yard freestyle and Jeff teamed up with Keit Augustine in the 200 yd. freestyle. In many of the pairs you will notice one is male and one is female. This is a fine example of the teamwork that exists on the swim team. Other team members working with the rest are Maris Solomon, Greg Black, and John Heffner. Also taking first place for the Colonels were Tony Pinto in the 100 yd. free; Kevin Augustine in ten J.M. and 200 yd. backstroke ahd the 400 yd. medley relay consisting of Kevin Augustine, Tony Pinto, Jim Edwards and Jeff Jones. The final score of the meet was 57-34. The Colonels travel to Kutztown next week. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wilkes Takes Measures To Battle Energy Crisis Due to one of the coldest winters in recent history, thermostats on the Wdkes College campus have been turned down to 65 degrees in accordance with Governor Shapp's order. Shawnee Hall, where the offices of The Beacon, Amnicola, and photography club are located, have been closed until further notice. However, Wilkes students can still be seen fighting the cold on their way to classes. · HOffia ReSlgnS With the energy crisis threatening institutions and businesses in the area, Wilkes College is taking steps to conserve energy at the college. According to Dr. Richard Soter, dean of academic affairs, the idea of closing the college arose at meetings, but "We are worried about losing momentum in the academic program if we close now." Dr . Soter explained that President Capin believes that · "Now is not the time to panic; it's the time to plan on a long term basis." · He said that it is being considered whether the college will begin classes in August next year and whether a longer winter recess will be adopted. "But we're faced with a dilemma," said Dean Soter, " What do we do with the athletic schedules that are set two or three years in advance." In the meantime, President Capin has outlined a course of immediate action to be followed by those at the college. The President has asked thermostats to be lowered, all lights to be turned off when rooms are vacated, and windows . to be kept· closed. Shawnee Hall has been closed, and there may be a reduction in the time that buildings (such as the library) are open. If the price of fuel continues to rise, Dean Soter said that there is a possibility of a tuition rise for students next year. "But it would not be a large increase. The rise would be modest.'' A letter received by President Capin from Acting Secretary of Education Robert Hendershot explains the situation~ follows: As you know, the severe strain on all energy resources in the Future Of Cafeteria Colle F .

W II e Despite Cold weather By Jody Berg The temperatures are dropping and Wilkes College, along with the rest of the state, is noticing a nip in the air and a chill in the wind inside the buildings as well as outside. But, Wilkes, which runs on four different types of heat - gas, electric, steam and oil - is faring as well as, if not better than the rest of the city. The units generating heat are stable and the college has had relatively little trouble. Of course, some students, mainly those living on South Franklin Street, will attest to a few hours of cold in their dorms shortly after the Christmas break. According to Mr. Art Sreelman, head of the maintenance department, this was due to a major break in the city steam line. A break such as this may be a result of a bad batch of coal, or too much pressure on the steam Hr.es. The city has had three such breaks. When such breaks occur there isn't much Wilkes can do except relay complaints back to city steam and hope for quick results. But in the long run, if oil and gas supplies should dwindle to a dangerous low .it will be the dorms run on city steam that will be heated since there is an ample supply of coal. The buildings on campus which are not heated by aity steam may have also experienced minimal difficulties. Andrew Shaw, special assistant to the President, explained that lack of fuel in the buildings isn't the major conspirator on campus; it is the great demands being put on the system. Oil heat is on a delivery cycle which so far, hasn't run out or been cut back. A minimal level of heat being kept in all the buildings is lowering the chances of the pipes freezing . . An extra suggestion by Mr. Speilman to keep the heat in is to keep the fire doors closed. The thought of flooding when Wilkes-Barre finally doesthawout hasn't been excluded. Even though the amount of snow has been average this year, pr!:)cautionary procedures for a floodstate have been reviewed. state brought on by our continuing cold weather caused Governor Milton Shapp on Wednesday, January 26, to order the temporary closing of public and private elementary and secondary schools. Drastic reductions in energy supplies are expected to continue even in the event the Governor is able to lift the order quickly. It is likely an extreme state of emergency will remain in effect throughout the Commonwealth. To conserve energy supplies during this crisis, the Governor has directed that thermostats be lowered in all state buildings and all lights be turned off at night. Where it can be done without risk of physical damage to the building, thermostats will be set at 62 degrees during periods of _ normal use and lower during other periods. Where there is a danger.of pipes freezing or other damage, . thermostats will be set at 65 degrees. I strongly urge the four staterelated universities of the Com• monwealth, our community colleges and all independent colleges and universities to adopt voluntarily thes·e same measures. I further urge all schools, colleges and universities, to the extent possible, to limit extracurricular activities to the daylight hours so that energy may be conserved. In a time of serious threat to the health, safety and livelihood of thousands of Commonwealth residents, I have no doubt that young people will willingly make certain sacrifices during this crisis period. Weather forecasts indicate that our cold weather will continue. I am confident that our educational institutions will cooperate fully to preserve our vital energy supplies throughout this crisis. Andre~. Shaw, special assistant to the president, is among those admbustrators concerned about the effect of the present energy crisis at the college. �: A/P Membership Reif Favors Frequent Tests That Boost Class Rankings 1:11 Ill .........

Groh, director of the theater, cast members include : Marilee Gorman, Dover, N.J.; Grace Ciannilli. West Pittston; Jody A theory of Dr. Charles B. Reif is that testing is a learning process within itself. Professor of Biology at Wilkes since 1947, Reif is a graduate of the University of Minnesota where he also received his M.A. and Ph.D. His theory came from much analysis he had done in the early sixties. After teaching general zoology for twenty years, he compiled enough data to make this analysis. The study was done by reviewing several classes' test records and finding how each student ranked after each test in Berg, Kingston; Randy Smith, Steelton; Joseph Gavlick, Lopez; Wayne Clawans, New Brunswick, N.J.; Wayne Pannabecker, Temple; Robert Klein, Pocono Lake ; Lee Thomas, Easton; Victoria Moss, Mountaintop; James McGraw, Edison, N.J.; John' Forte, Pequannock, N.J.; Frank McGrady, Laflin; Kathy 'Rhinoceros' Herpick, Hillisde, N.J.; and Mike Smith, West Pittston.

For example, Reif took the total points between the first test score and the second test score, and figured out how the student ranked in the class. Then he figured in the third test score and soon, determining class rank after each test. The analysis revealed that it took a minimum of eight tests to have eighty percent of the class within their final ranking at the end of the semester. The other twenty percent may have benefitted by taking more tests. Some students who received a grade of A at the end of a semester usually started out with test scores of B's. As more tests were taken, the students ' averages went up. Each test that was given was cumulative in subject matter from the beginning · of the semester. They also contained both subjective and objective points. Reif's finals do not count any more than his regular tests and are also cumulative. During this past fall semester thirteen tests were given in his JAMES STANCO PROP.

That is just less than one test per week. "It is easier to keep up than to catch up, " says Reif. In Reif's general zoology course this past semester , seventy-three percent of the class who completed the course received a point grade of 2.0 or better. Nine percent of the class fail€d. Student Government's motion to eliminate testing the week before finals would interfere with Reif's way of teaching and testing. He said that there has been a point of deliberation between himself and . Student Government. In reference to other professors, Reif said " Many people don't give enough tests to give the students a chance to make good rank within the class." He suggests that more tests ought to be given to let the student prove him or herself. Many professors give a mid-term and a final which Reif feels is not enough. Testing plays a major role in Dr. Reif's class and he feels it is strictly for the student's benefit. Jazz Band Conducts Annual Concert Tour Of Area High Schools The Wilkes College Jazz Band conducted its annual concert tour of high schools the week of January 10 through 14. The members of the Jazz Band gave up the last week of their vacation to perform at area high schools as well as one out-of-state high school. The area high schools included: Pittston Area, Coughlin, Wyoming Area, Meyers and Valley View, Peckville. The Band also performed at the Owego Free Academy and the Owego Junior High in Owego, New York. Concerts planned at' Northwest and Crestwood were cancelled due to the winter. In addition to the concerts at Coughlin, Wyoming Area and Meyers, the members of the Jazz Band conducted workshops for the high school students. The Jazz Band consists of 20 members. Most of the members are Wilkes students with one Wilkes graduate and one member who does not attend Wilkes. The Jazz . Band's Director, James Yosh, was pleased with the Band's performance during the tour. "I was really proud of them, giving up the last week of their vacation," Yosh stated. The Jazz Band also recently recorded a tape to be aired on WVIA-FM on Tuesday, February 8 at 9 p.m. Currently, the Band is rehearsing two nights a week, getting ready for their Pennsylvania debut as part of the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series. The Band will perform Monday, February 14 at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The concert will feature vocalist Angela Bofill, who will perform five songs with the Jazz Band. �"V Four Conducting Research With Industrial Physics Ill 10 ID w 'Tl ID ...., er C ~ Hidden in the lower level of Wilkes College's Stark Learning Center, is a labyrinth of laboratories which have become a sanctuary of sorts for many science and engineering majors. One such group taking advantage of the relative serenity of the basement labs are one physics and three engineering majors who are jointly working on a project to develop better magnetic materials for use in generators and transformers. Working with unusual materials such as gadolinium, samarium, and crystaline alloys, the four students for the past year have been measuring the magnetic properties of these and other materials at temperatures down to minus 300 degrees fahrenheit. According to Dr. John Orehotsky, a member of the engineering faculty,,,. various industries such as Sylvania and General Telephone and Electronics will be deeply interested in the completed findings. The foursome which includes seniors are Tom Wahl, WilkesBarre; Linda J amiolkowski, Ashley; junior John Gerboc, Duryea; and freshman Marie Kaczenski, Duryea, are involved in a two-year project which is being sponsored jointly by the Pennsylvania Science and Engineering Foundation and the National Science Foundation. Gerbv..:, the lone nonengii:ieering major in the group, points out that the project involves not only the development of better magnetic materials but · the guest to gain a clearer understanding of the fundamental principals of magnetism and electron figuration. He added, "Our work ha~ involved the cheaper permanent SG----------- State Health Office Gets Food Com plaint Someone has apparently registered a complaint about the cafeteria food with the State Health Department, according to IDC President Bruce Lear. Reporting for me at the weekly Student Government meeting Monday, Lear stated that students have again begun to raise a clamor over the supposed diminish quality of the food served in the cafeteria. Lear clarified what he had said about the complaint sent to the Health Department by stating that he learned of it from two other members of IDC, Sheree Kessler and Maris Solomon. Those two, according to Lear, checked into rumors that the local health officials ( Luzerne County Board of Health) had not been in to check the Wilkes cafeteria for three months. Although he was not sure of the procedure, it was Lear's opinion that the health authorities must , periodically supervise all food service facilities. What Kessler and Solomon were told in answer to their inquiry said Lear, was that someone from the State Department of Health had gone to the Wilkes cafeteria in response to a complaint received. The identity of the complainant was not revealed. Although the State Health Department report has yet to appear, Lear said he hopes to obtain a copy to find · out the results. "I think the students deserve to know what the health officials found," he commented. Previous student unrest con- cerning the food and service had begun to subside and, said Lear, the food and s·ervice were getting better. · However, student disapproval has begun to rise again and Lear has been receiving a renewed increase in the number of complaints about the food and service. The cafeteria problem will be the topic of the meeting of the food committee today at 3:00 in the cafeteria. The meeting is seen by the me president as being very important and he urged SG members to get as many in.. terested students as possible to attend the meeting. On other SG matters, approval was given to a motion for SG to pursue the installation of a new xerox machine in the library which would charge only five cents per copy.· The machine would not be in addition to the current library copier, but would instead replace that machine with an up-to-date copier. SG would subsidize the operation of the machine to cover any costs not taken care of by the five cent charge. The only fund request of the meeting was one by the computer club for $197.12 to help defray the costs of a trip to • Binghamton. It was unanimously approved. No additional plans were made for the upcoming winter weekend. Only a few minor details remain to be handled and, according to SG member Norman Verhoog, "Things look really good" for this year's winter event.

The students, who usually only have the opportunity to work on the project during vacation period, see the extra-curricular work as a challenge. "It g1ves us an excellent chance to learn," ,Linda Jamiolkowski stated, "flopefully, later we will be able to put some of this practical experience to work in the job market." Industry has realized and appreciated the efforts and research of the students, and in turn have donated some of the equipment used in the experiments. " It is a two way street," concluded Dr. Orehotsky, "Industry benefits with the added technological findings and the students benefit by putting some of their course knowledge to work. In the end it spells a happy relationship between campus and industry, one that will eventually add up to a better tomorrow." Debate Team Plans Trip The Wilkes College Debate Union has been invited to participate in the Pennsylvania Forensic Association's 1977 State Championship Tournament. The P .F .A. tournament, hosted this year by Clarion State College, will be determined through competition in the state championship in Forensics and Debate. The top Colleges and Universities of the state will clash in three days of competition to determine which school will be able to carry back to its campus the title - "Number One in the State." The Wilkes unit, under the direction of Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, has · already demonstrated great skill in Forensics winning 15 major awards this year and having one of the best records in the College's forensic history. Kinney, with Debate Captain David Evans, Forensic Co-ordinator Marcia Stratton, along with five other Union members will make the February trip to Clarion. The Wilkes debators plan to participate in all levels of competition. According to Kinney, "Our novice squad will take on the best in the state and I am sure that we will do well. Wilkes is a dedicated and well disciplined squad." Prior to the state championship tournament, the Debate Union will travel to Monmouth College, W. Long Beach, N.J. to compete against many New England institutions of higher learning. r~ ~ I ~ § f S 5. -i i ID ID Ill n 0 :I Recipients of scholarships to study abl"!)ad are shown, from left, Thomas ~ubas and Cheryl Kellar.

Mary jean, a junior, is spending the present semester at the University of Valencia, along with Maria De Rojas, a previous scholarship winner. Both students will be taking courses in the Spanish Language, history, art and music. Thomas will be participating in an intensive summer program at the University of Salamanca in Spain. Tom will spend ten weeks there studying in Spanish and will receive twelve credits for this program. Although Tom expects the program to be very demanding, he also expects to speak Spanish with Spanishspeaking people without thinking first in English. A Spanish and Biology double major, Tom hopes to teach Biology in Spanish in a bilingual program. Tom stated, "Of course there will be time zone and food adjustments, but I am still very excited. This summer will be quite unique. It will be a great experience." Cheryl is still in the process of making final plans, but she is hoping to participate in a sum- · mer study program in Mexico. She will probably participate in a five-hour-a-day intensive program in Spanish. Cheryl, a Spanish-Sociology double major, hopes to become a social worker. She said, "I'm looking forward to the challenge of being thrown into a situation where I willl have to speak in Spanish." Although Cheryl will not know anyone on her trip to Mexico, she is really looking forward to it. Both Tom and Cheryl wish to thank the anonymous donor for being so generous. "We both really appreciate the money and the opportunity to study abroad. We hope the scholarships continue, so more students can participate in foreign study." THE HUT at Hotel Sterling m. 113 S.

Causes Cutbacks At Wilkes t IV 2 .t:I QI LL C 0 u IV QI a:i QI ...r. Neither snow, nor rain, nor dark, nor flood, nor energy crisis keeps Wilkes College from fulfilling its goal of educating its students. The recent cold wave and subsequent shortage of fuel has brought about some cutbacks on the Wilkes campus. Hopefully we will all be able to hang together to keep warm and keep the school functioning with some degree of normalacy. If everyone does their part, we should be able to endure. Mr. Salley, a member of the Chemistry department, has posted notices on every thermostat in Stark Learning Center stating that no one should tamper with them, and that they should remain at 65 degrees. In fact, Mr. Salley has done such a terrific job that even the thermostats in the bathrooms have been adequately regulated. Members of The Beacon had their office in Shawnee Hall closed down, but the dedicated staff met in Weckesser Hall last Sunday to do their part for the energy crusade. Numb fingers hit typewriter keys, but as the saying goes the press must go on. At any rate, if dormitory students will keep in mind that they will not succumb at 65 degree temperatures, fuel costs can be saved by lowering dorm temperatures. Unfortunately because of the age of many of the outside buildings, it is almost impossible to turn all thermostats down to 65 degrees and adequately heat the antiquated buildings, but cutbacks ~ other areas can help. ... Appliances can be unplugged when not in use, and lights need not burn all night. ,Athletic events are being curtailed, to prevent the heating of the gyn;inasium. . Who knows, if .the weather persists lectures may be conducted around wood fires at Ralston Field. Seriously, everyone can help, students, faculty, and administration, by sticking together and attempting to cut fuel costs wherever and whenever possible. · -----i ,. 7 VV\.

The Edi ·Food Committee Attempts Volunteers Thanked To Solve Caf's Problems For Program's Success "Eye of newt and toe of frog/ Wool of bat and tongue of dog,/ Adder's fork and blind worm's sting/, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing. " This thought provoking quotation from Shakespeare has lately been referred to in comments about the cafeteria food. Surely the cafeteria staff does not cook with bats or lizards as ingredients, but there has been some speculation as to just what they have been using. The resignation of ,John Homa, the assistant manager of · the cafeteria, has filled students with a degree of fear as to what will be the future of the food service. Homa, known as a friend confidente and liason between students and the machinery of the cafeteria, is leaving Wilkes for another job. In his brief ·stay at Wilkes a large amount of changes have ,been made in the cafeteria food. According to William Denion, manager of the cafeteria, "The cafeteria is inspected on a regular basis by health department officials," and he has "not been made aware of any dissatisfaction among students." Students should be aware that there are channels to go through with food complaints, and a food committee meeting is being held today at 3 p.m. in the cafeteria. There are always complaints about red tape in instilling change, but Denion did comment that Roma's position, "is being filled as soon as a replacement is found." If you have a problem about the food service attend the food committee meeting today - if you don't, fine, but if you have a complaint and you don't do anything about it then eat up, che~ up, and digest the situation. Hang In There Guys Admittedly, the overcrowding in the gym is a frustrating problem, but this is a poor excuse for the recent bad manners displayed by the Wilkes College Wrestling team. With 2:59 left on the clock in an afternoon women's basketball game, the wrestling team proceeded to arrange their mats along the sidelines. This left about six inches for out-ofbounds plays. Fortunately, Wilkes had the game well in hand. However, the presence of people on the sidelines is always a distraction. Please, next time, hand in there and wait. Your patience will be appreciated. ·-- To The Editor: I would like to publicly thank those students who tutored foreign students in English phonetics, syntax and conversation during the first semester. Because of these efforts, this aspect of the new " English as a Second Language program" for foreign students was quite successful. The students who contributed their time and good will include: Ron Sweeda, Tom Lubas, Ellen Berb, Mark Ritter, Claire Donahue, Cheryl Kellar, Carole Backstein, Dianne Lacava, Cheryl Roman, Kevin Eldridge, and Jerry Mehalick. Thanks to all of you for your time and energy. · Sincerely, Shirley Eaton Dept. of Foreign Language . P.S.

Homa once said, "I'm here to serve them (the' students) ; and make any changes which I can to better the cafeteria". Homa has brought changes and alleviated many of the students gripes, but a replacement is needed to quiet the students and provide, establish and maintain adequate meals for a growing dormitory student population.

And it sure is for Maria Bardoutsou, a freshman who is a native of Patras, Greece. . One of five other native Greeks (excluding Len Vekkos, who is a bogus Greek from Woodbury Heights, N.J.) Maria says Patras is the third largest city in Greece but is much like the size of Wilkes-Barre. Just how did Maria wind up at Wilkes? "Well, my bro'ther Tony graduated from Wilkes in 1974 and I had won a scholarship to attend Wilkes." Maria explains that in Greece there is a series of "v.ery difficult" exams which prospective college students must take to enter a Greek University. "I was sure to be able to study at Wilkes so why should I go through all that trouble of those exams." Maria was a little hesitant at first about leaving her family and friends at home but she was well prepared for her trip. "I studied English privately for seven years in Greece. I also had English in school but it wasn't very good. That teacher didn't know much." Like anyone coming from a far away country Maria found it a little hard to adjust to this lifestyle. Before coming to the Wilkes campus she spent some time with her brother, who was living in Troy (New York, not Greece) to get a taste of American living. "Things are very different here. It's such a good experience though." Maria said the people are different in that they have different ideas, a totally different way of life, and that Americans have an easy way of life! "Let me explain wha~ I mean by easy. Take, for example, a· supermarket. That has everything all in one place. Back home, we would have to travel from store to store for rice or vegetables. Life is made simple by this." The chemistry major plans to move back to her homeland after graduation, unlike• her brother who lives in California. She will also return home in the summers. "I live in the southern part of Greece and I really enjoy the sea , THE WIZARD OF WAZ Wilkes Swim Team Wins At last, the thrill of victory. Those Gino Burgers sure tasted good. Where is that silly Freshman? Back in the van on the Jersey Turnpike heading for home. Looks a little windy but once we get on 280 it's straight traveling and no worries about exits or turns. The Bear is in the second van behind us. Look, ahead is the Delaware Water Gap. Don't those snowflakes look pretty in the car lights. There goes that Bc;:ir;. The nerve o{ him passing coach's van. I am the only one to sec him pass. After a while, Coach said we need gas and so does Bear. Where is Bear? His gas gauge doesn't work. I'll keep a lookout for a stranded Wilkes van on the side. We stop for gas in Stroudsburg then on 80 we head home. The road is getting icy. The van slips from side to side. Look out, we're off the road, no. on the road; no off the road, no - we're stuck. And there we were. Half the Wilkes Swim Team in the middle of nowhere, half on the road, half on the shoulder. Coach: Don't panic." Crazy: "I always wanted to visit the Poconos." Tony: Anybody want a box lunch. Coach: "These tires are just not moving. We can't even go backward." Cindy: Maybe we could catch the last run at Camelback if we're lucky." Carol: "Gee, the wrestling- team always has good luck and they use this van." Melita: "The van broke down for the wrestlers last week, Carol." Carol: "Yea, but they won the match, and we won our meet, and we're equal." Melita: "Forget it, Carol." Co~ch: "Everybody mov_e to the back of the van to add some weight to the rear." Alan: "Lisa, you stay up front, you have enough weight on the rear." Lisa: "Shut up or I'll suck on your nose until your head caves in." Melita: "According to the Medical Journals, I don't think that's possible." Frosh: "Everything is under control, hie." Coach: "Okay, somebody drive and we'll all get out and push." Crazy: "I used to always push until I got busted." Tony: "The only thing you ever busted is your brain, Crazy." Coach: "Wait, you can't push uphill. To the rear." Alan: " Lisa, about the rear ... " Lisa: "Alan, why don't we use your head for an antenna and signal th_e State Police." Cheryl: "Let's flag down a trucker. Breaker 1-9 this here's the frozen Swimmer. In need of assistance, good buddy." Coach: "Crazy and Tony, you come-with me and we'll try to find a tow truck somewhere. The rest of you stay close to the van but not inside just in case it should get hit. " Cheryl: "Let's huddle together to keep warm." and swimming and the sunshine. I just can't believe how cold it is here. I came well prepared with my clothing, however." Maria says she misses everything at home at times and always writes to the friends she has at home. One fellow, however, would not have to wait very long for a letter from Maria since he has also come to Wilkes this second semester. Nick Pitsis is also a native of Patras and is a very good friend of Maria's. Maria Bardoutsou At Wilkes, the Waller Hall resident belongs to the International Club. "I don't like it that much, though, because we don't do very much as a club." Maria could probably be social coordinator of the Greek Club if one did exist, however. "We Greeks often get together ourselves. It brings us a little closer to home. When one Greek is at a party, right behind him are the rest of us." If there was a club they really almost have a club language! The Greek language sometimes has its drawbacks to the English speaking students. "Sometimes the Greek boys teach the American students some Greek words, usually 'dirty' words. Then they come up to me and try to embarrass me. But I know the trick and I just laugh at them! " One thing that Maria never had to do at home was work, outside her home that is. She works part-time in the Housing Office. "I really like working there because I get to learn more and more about the school and get to meet many people." Some of Maria's hobbies include reading and listening to music. She enjoys rollerskating: Ask anyone who was at last week's skating party. "I like some sports like swimming, basketball and volleyball, but I hate football and soccer. Soccer is the big sport in Greece. I don't know much about tennis, but would like to." When I asked if she had anything else to say and she replied, "I really didn't want to say anything since the beginning !" Besides being camera shy, she is interview shy, but is loved by all who know her. And that's quite a lot of people! ""' Frosh: "I'm freezing. Does anyone have something I can wrap lee -Stickmen Tie In Competitions around myself?" . Carol: "You should wrap a life jacket around yourself for the way you swim."

The scene for this rather unusual occurance was the basketball-wrestling doubleheader. In an attempt to promote college spirit, the college ba nd was asked to perform at the doubleheader between games and at halftime. The experiment met with a great amount of success. Basketball mentor Rodger Bearde claimed , "It really helped our team. The simple fact that they were willing to spend the time to come out and support us by playing made the team feel like we had the whole school behind I.\S ." · The band also had a big effect on the crowd. The mass exodus that usually occurs during halftime was curtailed as the people sat and listened to the concert of modern tunes. A host of compliments accompanied the music. Although it is unreasonable to assume that the band can perform at every home athletic game, it would be nice if they could play as often as possible. Ranging from propositioning the cheerleaders into going out for pizza after the game to playing the team fight song, they were a vital contribution to the spirit of the evening. And anything that will keep that high-pitched wail that passes for The Star Spangled Banner off that cheap public address system can't be all bad. Thank you, Mr. Gasbarro and the band for the foot-stomping good time. Good Humor Man? I hope my column of last week has fallen on appreciative ears. I assure you that it was meant in a joking manner and that my intentions were honorable. It's nice to be able to laugh at oneself and see humor in life. Please call off the dogs . . . The Wilkes Swim Team began the s~cond half of their season Friday, January 28, by de feating Jersey City State College 74-35 at the Jersey City pool.

Maris Solomon, Alan Shaw, Keith Augustine, and Jeff Boberick all put in good efforts for second place points. John Heffner, Greg Black, Carol Piatt, and Bill Manley, and Lisa Waznik added third place points. This meet could well have been the turning point for the combined men's and women's team.

Basketball Coeds Trying To Turn Season Around; At Bucknell Tonight By Joan Vorbach In one week's time it seems as though the Colonelettes have found the right combination of heart and hustle.

Also, · any games that were cancelled last week will be rescheduled at the end of the season. Despite the cold there were several games played last week. In the closest game of the week, Butler lost to Grissom 44-43. Jay Mack was high scorer for the winners with 17 points. Bob Schaefer contributed 19 to the losing cause . In another B Division battle, Grunts defeated Gore 42-34. A near-sighted Bob Rischman gunned in 13 points for Grunts, while Tim Moffit canned 23 for Gore. In one of the two A Division games played last week, top - rated Gino's continued their winning ways when they defeated Playboys 76-45. Dave Dudick led the Gino's scoring with 24 points. In the other A game, Sons of Softee rolled over Butler IV 68-59. ---~------ Bruce Douglas chipped in 16 points for the Softees. In a game lalreled, " The Mismatch of the Week," STX buried the Bananas 61-29. Kurt Frank, who thinks a basketball court is a football field without lines, was high scorer for STX with !6 points. Mike Sibilia was high scorer for the losers with 8 points. It should be noted that most of the games played so far have been interdivisional games and will not count towards the final record of these teams. Only games played within the respective team's divisions will be counted. Also , Mike Aed has informed us that there will be no playoffs this year. Instead, the top team in Division A will play the top team in Division B for the championship; WPIRATINGS ' 1. Gino's (30 ) 2. Smegmas (17) 3. USUC IV (7) 4. Sizers (4) 5.

Starting with last night's meet against Binghamton State, The Colonels will wrestle five consecutive , home matches before going on the road for their final three meets. The home schedule is an attractive one. This Saturday the Colonels host Hofstra, and next Wednesday they entertain East Stroudsburg State. Both schools defeated the Colonels last year, and both have built up a fierce rivalry with Wilkes. East Stroudsburg features 150 pounder Gary Kessel, who in the latest issue of National Mat News was rated number four in the coun- · try in his weight class. Kessel is I?robably the best individual wrestler to come into Wilkes this year since Lehigh's Bob Sloand (r,-anked second in the nation at 134). So, Colonel fans will get to see one of the top wrestlers in the nation along with two good, solid teams that should provide more competition than the last team here Elizabethtown. ' The Blue Jays, 40-3 losers to Wilkes, were one of two teams to fall to the Colonels last week. On Saturday the Reesemen defeated Lycoming 28-9 in 126 pounder Rick Mahonski's home town of Williamsport. Mahonski capped off an excellent week against the Warriors by pinning his opponent in 4:18. Against E-Town Rick had already achieved a measure of sweet revenge by pinning Eric Mast, the defending MAC champ, who had previously beaten him three times. · The Colonels -top wrestler of the season, 190 pounder Dave Gregrow (11-2) was defeated at Lycoming for the first time in a dual meet since the opener against Lehigh. Dave had won nine matches in a row, and placed third in the Wilkes Open to become the most consistent wrestler in Coach John Reese's camp. His dramatic come back win against Navy set him off on this streak, and he figured to start a new one last night against Binghamton. The two other Colonel quad-captains, Lon Balum and Bruce Lear won against Lycoming thus giving both of them ten victories on the season. Freshman Mark Densberger came back against the Warriors and even convincingly, thus preparing himself for this important home stretch. The home stretch, as stated before, promises to be an interesting and exciting one. It will see Hofstra Saturday night, East Stroudsburg next Wednesday, Army (Feb. 12 ), and Bucknell (Feb. 16). The Colonels who are presently 9-3 would dearly love to win all four and senior captains Mahonski, Balum, Lear, and Gregrow are anxious to make good showings in their final appearance at the Wilkes Gym.

The controversy centered around disciplinary problems among team members which resulted in the benching of two key players and finally the quitting of Tony Nardelli. To more fully understand this complicated saga, let's drift back to January 19 in Madison, Virginia. The Colonel basketball team had travelled south to play Madison in a non conference game. During the stay in Virginia, two Wilkes players allegedly broke training regulations and the actions of Nardelli and Kendall McNeil were reported to assistant coach Jim Zardecki. Sensing his obligations as a. coach, Jim reported what he had heard to Head Coach Rodger Bearde. Bearde held meetings with both Kendall and Tony before the next game with Juniata and although both denied any wrongdoing, the situation seemed to be straightened out. The Colonels went out on Saturday, January 22, and blew away a very strong Juniata club. Both McNeil and Nardelli played and peace seemed to abound at the Wilkes camp. They were in the middle of an exciting playoff race and team unity seemed to be strong. However, during the week's practice sessions before last week's important MAC tilt with Albright, some additional discipline problems arose. Confrontations between Bearde and Nardelli surfaced. So much for team unity. No disciplinary action was planned however, until after the Albright game had started. Neither Nardelli nor McNeil had started the contest but Kendall was inserted into the lineup during the first half and played about two minutes before being pulled out of the game for a substitute, After the substitution, some comments were exchanged among McNeil, Nardelli, and Bearde and neither player saw action for the remainder of the contest. "Some of the other incidents I was willing to overlook, but this was a public affront to my authority as the team leader and they sat out the rest of the game with Albright as a punishment for the comments," stated Bearde. The game was a disaster as far as the Colonel basketball performance was concerned. The team blew a six point halftime lead and were beaten by 11 points. There was room for some second guessing as the tired and demoralized Colonels struggled through the fourth quarter without their best rebounder and best scorer. Following the Albright contest, there were more meetings and more discussions and again it seemed as though everything had been worked out. Agl!in _!hat hope was false. The Colonels travelled to New Jersey last Saturday night to take on Upsala in yet another key MAC encounter. Both McNeil and Nardelli were there but McNeil played and Nardelli didn't. Bearde stated that Tony didn't feel well and that the reason he didn't play was due to the illness. After the game, Nardelli turned in his uniform and quit the team after watching the Colonels drop a heartbreaker, 71-70. "His ql.clitting was incidental," said Bearde. "He'll never play for me again. He would have been put off the team if he hadn't quit." "The pressure around here was unbelievable. Every practice session was loaded with tension and Coach Bearde was under tremendous pressure in many different ways. I fully support the decisions he has made concerning the matter," commented Zardecki. Bearde added, "Kendall reacted postively to our meetings and is currently a full-fledged member of our team. Tony responded in a negative manner as far as the team is concerned and elected to quit the squad. The team was filled with dissention but hopefully now we'll be able to concentrate more on winning ball games." The decision of Bearde to keep two of his star players on the be'!_ch during an important MAC game was a gutsy one. The Colonels will have to win all of their remaining league matches to still nave a shot at the playoffs, and that is highly unlikely. This has been a long winter for Bearde, Za'rdecki, and the talented cagers. Bearde : "I just felt that my integrity was more important than winning a ball game." The Beacon is anxious to print the complete story from many points of view. Attempts have been made to contact Nardelli but none have been fruitful at press time. Subsequent comment will be considered at a later date relative to the further amounts of information garnered. Acornley BEACON SPORTS :l~ MAIIONSKI IN CONTROL - Rick, one of the Colonels' quad-captains, had a simply outstanding week. He pinned an old rival in E-Town's Eric Mast (NCAA runner-up) on Wednesday and then went home to record another pin, Lycoming's 126 opponent. He has been struggling a bit this year due to a recurring neck injury and is trying to gain some momentum for the postseason tourneys. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The winter weekend will be held on February 18, 19, and 20. The schedule of events include a Friday night dance from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the gym. It will have a barn dance theme . . On Saturday, February 19, there will be activities in the gym from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. during which a volley ball contest will be held with a $50 prize going to the winning team. From 1 fo 4 p.m. there will be activities held on the side of the gym. These will include a sawing contest. At the same time, there will be refreshments and bingo in the cafeteria. At 7 and 9 p.m. on Saturday, the movie "Three Days of the Condor" will be shown. A lecture on "Science and the Bible" will be presented on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. On Sunday evening, there will be free ice skating at Coal St. A request presented by one SG representative for John Reese, athletic department chairman, called for a five dollar a ·year raise in the student activity fee for the purpose · of giving the extra money to the athletic department. After citing the vote against an attempt made last year by the Amnicola to have the fee raised by the same amount as a precedent, SG unanimously voted against the suggestion to raise the fee this year. A fund request for $250 dollars by the Human Services Committee, a special sub-committee of. SG, was approved to be used for funding of the March of Dimes Walkathon. The money will be used for such items as food and publicity. While giving the academic report, SG member Carl Holsberger cited that prices in the bookstore have risen 100 percent in the last year. A request may be sent to faculty members asking that professors use books for more than one year in an effort to keep prices down. The idea of using the Kingston Armory, located near Ralston Field, for Wilkes athletic events was brought up under new business. No definite action was taken, but the availability of the armory for such a purpose will be checked out. January 27, 1977 Writer-In-Residence Heads Creative Course By Joseph Buckley Laura Furman began her stint as the writer-in-residence for this semester with a Tuesday night English topics course in creative writing. Teaching this class plus having a full day of office hours on Wednesday when she will be available for · consultation will fulfill her obligations for her appointment. Furman is the second writer-inresidence appointed at Wilkes. Hugh Seidman became the first appointee last year. With her course, Furman said she " would like somehow to get people sensitive to the narrative voice in their writing and in the writing of others." There will be plenty of writing in the course, she added. But, she also commented that "a student writer shouldn't worry about failure ." Growing up in New York and Schooley's Mountain in New Jersey divided Furman between the city and the country. "I grew up always wanting to be a writer. I always did write." However, while attending Bennington College, " that bottomed out." . The reason for discontinuing her writing, said Furman, was that she "got very scared of competition and trying too hard and wanting anything too much." Also, she added that " any aesthetic activity during the (Vietnam) War seemed inappropriate. " President Capin has asked In the past, Furman has students, faculty and adworked for the Grove Press and ministrators to join in a conas a free lance editor. certed effort to conserve energy.

The Alumni Association is giving students and faculty the opportunity to join Wilkes grads on the " Alumni Weekend" trip March 25-27. The trip was opened to students after heavy response from alumni necessitated the chartering of an additional bus. Art Hoover, director of alumni relations, reported that remaining seats will be filled on a first-come, first serve basis. The weekend is intended to be an unstructured one, with participants having the opportunity to shop, attend a Broadway play or sightsee whenever' they wish. The $36 fee covers tran - spor ta tion, two nights accommodations at the Abbey Victoria Hotel, and baggage handling. Buses will leave Wilkes-Barre Friday, March 25 at 2 p.m., and will depart from New York the following Sunday at 7 p.m. The trip was designed to give alumni the opportunity to enjoy the attractions in New York as economically as possible. According to Hoover, the trip is a real bargain in that bus transportation alone usually costs about half as much as the entire alumni trip. Reservations may be made with Art Hoover, third floor, Weckesser Hall. " If a person cannot read, write, or express himself, then hP. is at a disadvantage. " This was the sentiment expressed by Dr. Richard Soter, dean of academic affairs, as he explained the necessary stress placed on writing at Wilkes. The idea to emphasize writing arose during a meeting of a academic task force of the Goals of the College Committee, but Dr. Soter said that the faculty has beeri thinking about it for a long time. He said that writing is the primary responsibility of the English Department, but "other faculty should be concerned with writing." "The idea is to keep people writing constantly," said Dr. Soter. " You learn to write by writing. First it takes continual effor t, and .then later you do it automatically." Around The Campus Question : " Wh at are your views on the death penalty criminals? for Mickey Calabrese, West Pittston, (business major) - I favor the death penalty. It seems a fitting penalty for our society's most undesirable elements. Even if it doesn't curtail violent crimes, it will help eliminate those who can't be helped by our penal system.

Also noted by the committee was that Park & Lock stickers went on sale this week starting Monday. Under old business the idea of the shuttle bus is dead . Fifty survey forms were returned and most responses indicated in favor of the idea. It was the general feeling of the council however, that the shuttle bus would not work out. Also discussed were the plans for the Smorgasbord - SUB party on February 5. Final preparations still have to be worked out and tickets will go on sale Monday. Maria Malacari, Wilkes-Barre, (English major) - I have mixed views about the death penalty. Sometimes I feel it should be in operation and sometimes not. In the case of Gilmore, they should not have executed him. Instead, they should have made him suffer in prison. Why kill him, granting his wish, and take him out of his mis::ry? CC Discusses Parking At Meeting · The first Commuter Council meeting of the semester took place last Thursday. The council reviewed and reported on routine business. · A report from the transportation committee stated that there are not enough parking stickers to go around and will have to obtain some that were left over from IDC. Distribution of parking stickers will be staggered to cause less complications. T-he committee also reported that if any student argues with a Del Cap officer concerning parking, he or she can According to Dr. Soter, "students are demanding that faculty demand more of their writing." He said this is evident by the number of people who are v_oluntarily attending the writing laboratory at the college. In 1975, the first year of the · writing lab, 24 students attended the lab voluntarily for continual writing assistance. In 1976, 26 students visited it. These figures do not include the students who went to the lab to check a reference book, ask about the format for job applications, etc. Dr. Soter said that writing is clearly becoming a priority. He said that writing well is always useful to students and is crucial for today's job market. Dr. Soter said that the goal of the faculty is to provide a broad liberal education for all students. But he admitted that "it's easier said than done." Ricky Russo, Yatesville, (political science major) - I'm definitely in favor of the death penalty. The main objection to it is that it is an uncivilized form of punishment. But there comes a time when you have to treat uncivilized people in an uncivilized manner. Paulette Kulesa, Scranton, (nursing major) - I don't believe that a person should be killed just because he committed a crime. · But criminals should be justly dealt with in other means, such as through prison terms.

" The resident assistant should also "be able to help out with minor maintenance problems," added Marchetti. In short the resident assistant is something of a "jack-of-alltrades," chimed in Jean Conway, assistant director of housing. Last year over 80 applications were submitted to the Housing Office for the resident assistance position, and this year the response seems to be somewhat the same. Marchetti commented that " students should not apply for the resident assistant position for monetary recompense. sirice tthe hourly salary breaks down to something close to llc an hour."

Large Douglas J . Rubinstein who was appointed Director of Public Relations last month , has plunged enthusiastically into his duties. His appointment climaxed an intensive six-week screening by a special committee which interviewed nine persons for the position. Rubinstein, a 30-year old Assistant Dean of the Faculty for the Division of Arts and Sciences and a Professor of Communication Studies at the State University of New York at Oswego, has been teaching there since 1970. He also serves as a communication and editorial consultant to industries, professional associations and publishing houses. "Rubinstein will be responsible for facilitating communications with all segments of the public as they relate to Wilkes College," said President Capin. "He will act as a support system to all areas of the College aiding in furthering channels of communications between Wilkes College , the community, the media and the College's many supporters. Additionally, he will be responsible for keeping open every possible line of interaction to all members of the Wilkes College family --- students, faculty, administrators, alumni and friends ."

As Assistant Dean, Rubinstein served as public relations officer of the Division of Arts and Sciences, helping in developing cohensive interaction between the college community and the community at large. While teaching at Rhode Island he served as assistant football coach under head coach Jack Zilly, and for two seasons was head coach of the Oswego State football team until his appointment to the Dean's office. During his tenure, the teams had a 12-4 record, climaxing with a 3113 victory over American University in the post-season Empire Bowl Eastern National Club Championship in 1973. Impact. Class.

Seeking to develop a model public relations department at the college, he has already implemented a number of changes in the philosophy goals, and practices of the office. He outlined his ideas in the first staff meeting recently, stressing the concept •of teamwork and noting that "everything we do must have if!lpact."

On Our Doorstep KtNGSTON ,.: N Wilkes College is in the market for a new gymnasium. The present overcrowding during team practice hours is not facilitating equal practice times for all athletic teams during inclement weather. The answer is not obviously a new gymnasium, or an adequate .addition to the ,present structure. However, there seems to be a third alternative sitting on our doorstep - The Kingston Armory. The Armory has served many purposes in the past. It was once used for the cavalry to train horses. During World War II a factory operated out of the spacious walls, and after the war the Armory was used by a professional basketball team and for high school basketball playoffs. More recently the brick structure has been used for Shrine.circuses and flea markets. At the present time it seems Wilkes College's need for gym space should have some priority over occasional flea markets held in the Armory. A 99-year lease on the 109th artillery property which ajoins the Wilkes baseball field, leased from the government approximately eight years and once a piece of armory property, would give the college the luxury of adequate gymnasium space. Circuses , flea markets, and basketball playoffs could still be scheduled in the amory through the college. The acquisition of the property wou!.d also supply the college with an adequate facility for concerts and other activities. In the past few years ·it has been used for Wilkes ' graduations. The size, proximity, and parking area of the building lends itself to becoming a financially feasible workable alternative to the shortage of gym space. With a few renovations , the possibititles the armory could afford the college are endless an ice hockey rink would not be totally beyond dreams. The next step to acquiring the property seems to be in the hands oftheStudent Government. The idea then has to be sold . to the Board of Trustees and eventually the services of Senator Martin Murray, Frank O'Connell, and Representative Frank Shupnik may be needed. Who are we to turn down the possibilities the Kingston _Armory could afford us. -o- .BEACON BITS The Veteran' s Club will hold its first meeting of the second semester today at 11:00 a.m. in Room 204-205 SLC.

The Academic Committee with Dean Soter as chairman has completed its work on the "Goals of the College Mission Statement." The Mission Statement, which was approved by the Steering Committee, attempts to do determine what Wilkes College will be in the future , both immediate and long term, according to Dean Soter. The Academic Committee wanted a brief but meaningful statement, explained Soter. The statement reads as follows: To meet the challenge of predicted declines in enrollment, the vagaries of national economic conditions, and the encroachment of publicly supported institutions, we believe Wilkes College must establish itseH as an academically prestigious institution committed to excellende in Summer job analysis 1ndicate that the prospects for college student employment for the summer of 1977 looks promising.

In drafting this statement, Soter stressed each word was weighed. TheCommittee spent a long period of time determining what the goals of the College should be. To achieve these ends we propose that Wilkes College: ( 1) Emphasize the traditional . liberal arts requirements for competencies in oral, written and computational skills, and an understanding of huma.n experiences through a study of our literary and historical heritage by requiring all students to share a common curriculum in the liberal arts and sciences. Soter commented since Wilkes was less than 50 years old, it would require more time to increase the prestige of the College . . The prestige would be raised by the quality of students who graduate from Wilkes. In order to have top quality graduates, excellence in the classroom and scholarship must be achieved, stated Soter. The most important priority, according to · the Academic Committee, is that the students of Wilkes have a great competency in oral, written and computational skills as stated in the Mission Statement. The sense of historical heritage should include all human heritage, said Soter. Also, this understanding, as stated in the Goals of the College, should include the ability to think critically and the ability to appreciate beauty, truth and other abstract values, which cannot be gained through courses alone. (2) Provide superior major programs in the liberal arts and sciences. Soter commented major programs at Wilkes should be strengthened and should remain of the highest quality. ( 3) Help meet everchanging community needs by remaining flexibly committed to carefully selected . speciality programs. In addition to the general major programs, Soter stressed Wilkes has an obligation to provide programs, such as the Wilkes-Hahnemann program , which are important to the Continued on Page 6 STAFF Editor In Chief ... ... . . . . . ...... . .. .. ..... . ........... .. .. ..

Suddenly a skier appears from the top of the hill, and gracefully glides down the hill. A free form in fluid motion, he seems to almost fly above the ground as he effortlessly floats down to the bottom before coming to a stop in a flurry-of snow. That's what skiing's all about, right? But how come it's not as easy as it looks? After watching Wide World of Sports every week (even "Agony of Defeat"-falling off the jump ), I finally decided to try skiing before I ran out of time, money, or nerve. So when the Polar Bear Club set out at 5:30 one frosty Sunday morning for a week in Vermont, I too settled in my window seat for a stomach-turning, non-stop, eight-hour ride. Anyway, I awoke on the day of~ my first lesson to find a raging blizzard outside our door. (Later, I found out it was the worst day the resort had all year.) Santa Claus himself would have stayed at home if he had seen such snow on a Christmas Eve. However, being a person noted for her; lack of common sense, I walked out into raging winds and limited visibility to trudge through the drifts to the rental office. Now, when one has never been on skis, and has seen them only on the racks of other people's cars, one can be accurately described as a beginner. And, it is a common practice for a beginner to begin with very short skis, which is why my tall friends were given 120 or 135 cm skis, Skaters' Talent Excells Despite Team's Defeats After the long winter break, the "unofficial" official Wilkes Ice Hockey Team has come back to action. The first two games of this second half of the season were disappointing, however, since they were both losses. The strong Lake Region team and the Bi-County Blazers handed Wilkes their defeats, 4-2 and 5-2 respectively. Bright spots in those matches · .,,,- were the efforts of team members Todd Noll who scored 1-3 in goals and assists and Dave Morales whose record was 2-1 in goals and assists. Captain Mark Davis, whose record is 1-1 in this segment of the season, is a little disappointed. He says the biggest problem is probably finances since the team does not have enough money to rent the rink for practice time. Since there are not enough organized practices the team hurts, even though individual talents come through. "I think there would be a better · attitude also if more students would come to watch our team - play," said Davis. Helping him in his job as captain are Jack Manley and Dave Morales, who act as alternate captains. Also working at a tough defense are Jim O'Neill, Bob Bensley, and Bill Manley. The next game is Sunday at 6 · m. at the Wilkes-Barre Ice-A-~ lr,nnted in the Heights, a sfio1 •. _ "rn the campus. By Wilma Hurst It was that time of year again ... tuition time. Being the extravagant spender that I am I had blown away my vast fortune on Christmas presents and reckless holiday living. Now once again the Colonel was waving that famous finger at me saying, "We want you ... and the money! " ., My paycheck wasn't due until the 21st so how could I attend a week of classes without my class cards. In the past I usually ~sed the old "I'll bring the card next time" or the famous "I left it in my locker" routine. But the profs told me already not to attempt any thing so foolish this time. · With the finance office as my target I had to develop a scheme that would secure the cards for me without cash. I know .. , the old "Rich Kid" act! After sitting under a sunlamp for five hours, I had my hair done , rented ten pounds of rhinestones, borrowed a Salvation Army reconditioned mink stole, donned my 5 inch Foster Grant's, and with gold cigarette holder in hand I sauntered off to Parrish Hall. "Oh yes, hello. I came to pick up my class cards. I must be dreadfully tardy in picking them up but I was on a cruise with Mummy and Daddy. He mailed a check from St. Tropez. I'.m sure you must have it unless the natives delayed the mail or something equally dreadful -might have happened to the mail plane crossing the Bermuda Triangle. In any case my cards , darling." · · · The next thing I remember was sitting out in the hall with no cards and a broken cigarette. Why did I have to buy that silly milimeter longer? which reached no farther than their armpits. So why did I, who am called "Shorty," " Shrimp" and " Munchan" by my friends, received 170 cm skis, which stretched far past my head? And why did the girl at the rental office (who gave me poles that reached my shoulders ) tell me, " You wouldn't want 160s because then you would feel as if you were wearing ice skates?" But, being a naive' novice, I decided they knew what was best for me ( even though I also knew that there was a dire equipment shortage) an d I staggered through the blizzard back to my condominium, struggling with skis, boots and poles. I think it was the remark, "If you use those skis and poles, you're gonna break your neck" that made me leave the safety and warmth of our room to return to the rental office (with the skis and poles) and announce that I couldn't possibly use them without being declared legally insane. (Keep your comments to yourself, Mary Ellen). . And so, I found myself standing with 15 other people on the side of the slope in a blinding snowstorm, with 135 cm skis and midget poles, my eyelashes coated with ice and my scarf standing out at a right angle, await.ing " The First Skiing Lesson. " I watched Mary Stencavage prove the " Domino Theory" as she snowplowed into the fifth person in the line and managed to topple everyone else; I learned my ski instructor's name (Bruce, the one with a half frozen mustache ); and as I lay in a tangle of skis, legs, arms, poles and snow, I understood the real meaning of "agony of defeat. " But, to give credit where credit is due, thanks to the ski in- The Feature Page structors at Smugglers Notch ( and partly to my inability to recognize imminent disaster when it stares me in the face) I finally learned to move my body down the slope in a manner that can almost be called skiing. I had my share of falls, spills and scares, (more than my share, actually ), and only one accutely embarrassing moment, (which was not really my fault ). Put yourself in my place. (Don 't panic, it'll only be a minute). You're riding in the lift with a ski instructor (David) and you're preparing to leave the chair and ski down a ramp ( which looks something like the ski jump at Innsbruck) . Is it your fault that the rest of your class has congregated at the foot of the ramp and that at least four of them are sprawled at the bottom, making it impossible for you to disembark without killing at least three? And so what if your instructor yells "Stop the lift" and then jumps to the ground and skillfully skis around all the casualties? He's been skiing since he was four; you haven't. So you remain on the lift as it stops 15 feet in the air and David looks up and says "You wanted to get off, didn't you?" The lift then moves several yards and deposits you in three feet of untouched snow which you promptly sink into, tangling your skis and leaving your floundering about in the drifts. You wade over to the fence, David opens the gate, and you join your class, which you would now like to murder, and the lift once against starts to move. (If anyone was stranded on the lift for about 10 minutes on that Wednesday, I did it. ) (But now I'm back at Wilkes, wearing my ski lift ticket, my Snoopy pin, and several bruises.) I solemnly swear that the above events really did happen (plus a lot more on and off the slopes which we won't get into) but I also swear that the trip was · the greatest. Wilkes Polar Bear Club, thanks for a fantastic week ( Do you think maybe next year we could stop for lunch?) I know, I'll try the "Note from Mr. Raspen" trick! I immediately disgarded the costume and scribbled this down on the back of an old test. ATT : Finance Office Please give this girl her cards as she has just been awarded the Einstein Academic Scholarship for highest cum. Signed, R. Raspen "Could I have my cards. I just got this .note from Mr. Ras pen, you know the little guy over at Chase with the cigar, who counts the money all day." · The note was harder to swallow than to write but I still can't figure out if it was the cigar that gave it away or the 26 I got in the test. To the phone booth! "Hello, finance office. This is Mr. Capin's secretary and Tm sending this girl over for her class cards. Oh, Molly, I remember you, you don't remember me ? You met me at the secretaries' Christmas dinner. My son is fine . I'm not married ? I can't get my cards. Sorry, wrong number." Dashing to the ladies room, I pµt on my warm up suit, sneaks, sweatband, Wilkes Letterman's jacket, and then jogged into the office. "Yea, I'm here ta pick up da class cards. I got a at'letic scholarship. First draft ya know. I was jus' runnin' da dike ta keep in shape. Us swimmers gotta keep in shape. What de ya mean da only draft for swimmers is from a hairdryer? There isn't a swimming scholarship? Isn't this USC? Sorry, I must a ran further than I meant I.a." Enough with the facade. I dashed into the finance office and pleaded, "You have to give me those cards. I just got out ?f the hospital, I'm putting my brother through reform school foi; tr-Y.I!1ft~?•.• rob a bank to pay this tuition, and I have to buy some firewood for the bonfire in the living room to keep our shack warm." Go see Mr. Croop? What kind of answer is that. Who is this Croup creep? I crawled into the office on my stomach and begged for the cards when I heard "Yeeeeeees. Welcome to my office. What can I do for you." The words came from this man wearing a black top hat and cape · sitting behind a desk twirling his handlebar mustache. • "So you don't have the money ," he said, "I'm sure we can work something out here, ha , ha, ha , ha, ha , ha !" He handed me a contract to sign. I didn't read the whole thing but I remember something on it about my first born and something about the deed to the ranch and railroad tracks. Oh, well, at least I have the cards. But what about my grades from last semester? I still owe about a hundred. I wonder if they lock that window in the Finance Office at . night? -oJOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, (delayed Christmas joke) If an.ahtlete gets athlete's foot, what do astronauts get? A. Missiltoe. Davies' Show At Sordoni A selection of drawings, prints and watercolors of Arthur Bowen Davies (1862-1928) will be in the Sordoni Gallery January 28 until February 20. · Arthur Davies -influenced by realism and impressionism, was one of a group of the " Eight" who straddled two centuries with one foot in the nineteenth century European art and the other in the twentieth century American Modernism. He was in the foreground, then considered avant-guard, in establishing the New York Armory Show of 1913 that is regarded as a pivotal point leading to an awareness of bringing European Modern art to America. The exhibition shown for the first time last fall was arranged in cooperation with Lehigh University. Gallery shours: daily . 1-5 p.m., Saturdays 10-5 p.m. and Sundays ·1-5 p.m. �/ THE PAffl'S OVER.

(6) Gradually and carefully restrict the admission of marginally qualified students. The restriction of admissions would take a · period of time, commented Soter. Admissions of qualified students would be reviewed gradually. Although the College would like to restrict the admissions to qualified students, Soter also mentioned the College has a social obligation to those students who would not be able to attend college due to lack of funds for a college education. The Academic Committee wanted neither an open-door admissions, in which students are accepted regardless of qualification, nor · a revolving admissions, in which students are asked to leave the college if they do not produce the quality work expected by the college. To implement these goals Wilkes College must provide the necessary moral and financial support. Soter explained the last statement of the "Goals of the Coliege Mission", by commenting "We need the moral support of the entire college community." The success of these goals depends on the total commitment Jf the faculty and students, stated Soter. He also commented the faculty would have to "tighti,,. their belts" and productivity. �Merry Christmas ???

This leaves them with an unimpressive 2-7 record. The well-known philosophy " If you play a tough defense, the offense will naturally follow " just doesn 't apply to the Wilkes women. Their defense has been well disciplined, but sporadic, and the Colonelettes also cannot find the hoop . At a recent Lackawanna Junior College game, the women held LJC scoreless for over 5 minutes with a 1-2-2 zone. However , at the other end of the court, Wilkes was inconsistant and frustrated. The defense has been forcing numerous turnovers. This looks good on the stat sheets, but these figures can't seem to find their way to the scoreboard. As a possible remedy, Coach Schierer has tried mixing up the starting line-up. So far, this change has ruffled more feathers than nets. Hopefully, in the nine remaining games the Colonelettes can straighten their aim, mend their spirits, and finish with a decent record.

Gino's Tops In Early IM Ratings By David Orischak and Bob Welsh The intramural basketball season will get into full swing this week and all teams are eager to show their wares. There are a few contests before the Christmas break. In one big game, Sixers beat Sons of Softee 72-62. Both of these teams were strong pre-season favorites. Sons of Softee was hampered by injuries in the starting lineup. Bruce Douglas is still recovering from a knee injury he suffered when his knee hit the backboard during a pre-season warm up. · One reason for the close score in the game has been attributed to the strategic move by coach Jim Yosh. He kept Chuck Crawford on the bench for the entire game. In another high scoring contest, STX was defeated by Dirksen 3231. Rumor has it that both teams forgot to play the second half of this gam~. When referee Bill Manly was questioned, he was unable to recall the game. No player on either team hit double figures in the scoring column. USUC IV is the latest addition to the USUC dynasty which was upset last year by a strong Gino's squad. Both teams are back this year and Gino's is labeled as the pre-season favorite. Gino's is already off and running with an impressive win over stubborn Orien's Express, 84-67. Gene Marinelli had 27 points for the winners while Mike Wilson tallied 18 in a losing cause. In USUC IV's season pener, six USUC'ers scored in double figures as they routed Diaz by a score of 76-38. Don McDermott and Sam Diaz had 18 and 16 points respectively for the boys from Nanticoke.

For More Information, See DOUG RUBINSTEIN, DIRECTOR PUBLIC RElATIONS �BEACON SPORTS Grapplers Look To ·Finish _Strong The last time we discussed the Wilkes wrestling team it was 0-1 and looking forward to two crucial meets with Navy and Tennessee. Well the Colonels beat ·Navy 21-17 in one of the most exciting meets ever held in the Franklin Street gym, but then dropped a 25-16 decision to Tennessee. Right after Christmas the Colonels placed a disappointing fifth in the Wilkes Open, entering · only a partial team. Clarion State breezed to the team title. Starting the New Year out right, the Colonels swept all four meets on their southern tour. In the opener they beat V~ 24-13 and West Chester 32-8. The Colonels then proceeded to demolish East Carolina and North Carolina by scores of 34-9 and 29-8. North Carolina had been ranked 18th in the country. But the semester ended on a bleak note when the Colonels were hammered by Syracuse 34-9 last Saturday. The Wilkesmen began the second semester by defeating Delaware Valley 26-8 last Wednesday. Then they travelled to Oswego St. on Saturday and blasted the New Yorkers 33-9. So the Colonels record is currently 7-3, but what lies ahead? Last night they had what should have been a relatively easy meet with Elizabethtown, Saturday they travel to Lycoming and next Wednesday (February 2) they are home with Binghamton State. They still have big home meets remaining with Hofstra, East Stroudsburg, Army and Bucknell. While these five meets are against fairly good wrestling schools, the victories probably won't be enough to propel the Colonels into the top twenty rankings. The top twenty. That's been the Colonels nemiesis this year. A win over Tennessee might have shot them into the rankings, but the Vols reigned. Then after their romp through the South the Reesemen had another shot at the rankings going into the Syracuse match. Needless to say their hopes were shattered by the Orangemen. A top twenty ranking by the end of the season now seems to be virtually out of the question. True, the Colonels also have big meets on the road with Franklin and Marshall, Montclair State, and Rutgers, but even victories over these teams won't put them in the top twenty. So what do the Colonels look ahead to ? For starters, they want to go undefeated for the rest of the season and if they wrestle up to their capabilities this is a good possibility. Lately, however, the Colonels haven't been sharp. Both the Syracuse and Delaware Valle_y meets were disappointments to Coach Reese. The team looked sloppy and showed signs of fatigue. However, Saturday things picked up a little in the Oswego St. victory. Another goal would be to win the Easterns. This will definitely take a lot of work with powerful teams such as Lehigh, Navy, and Syracuse also in the tournament. With a few breaks in both scheduling and some outstanding performances by some of the lesser known team members, anything could happen. IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE - Hopefully, it's a rebound as Matty Peterson soars through the air. Matty had his finest game of the season last week in a starting role, throwing in 10 points and being a gene ral pain in the neck for Juniata. GREGROW FIGHTING OFF A PIN-Dave got out of this mess and went on to place third in the Wilkes Open, the Colonels highest finisher.

It is an exciting new game show concept where fans in the stands are selected randomly before the ball game to secretly mark their ballot and attempt to guess the outcome of the upcoming contest. The ballot has blocks· to be checked by the contestants regarding the Colonels perfo rmance. Some of the example choices include: 1. The Colonels will stop running and get blown out; 2. The Colonels defense will break down and they will get blown out; 3. The Colonels shooting will turn ice cold and they will get blown out; 4. The Colonels will take advantage of their quickness and blow the opponents out; 5. The Colonels will stay out of foul trouble a nd blow the opponents out; 6. All of the above; 7. None of the above . The ba llots are sealed hermetically in an Alumni Association envelope and kept in Art Hoover's Hus h Puppies until after the game. The fa n who comes closest to guessing the Colonel fate wins free tickets to the next JV ga me. It is not as easy to win this contest as it might seem because the Colonel basketball squad is the only team on campus where consistancy is the most consistant goal. As you might have guessed, Rodger Bearde has yet to win the contest. His ulcers have ulcers. Assistant Coach Jim Zardecki keeps slipping Maa lox into his Gatorade but apparently it's not working. · While you were in Florida on vaca tion, the Colonels kept quite busy and at times looked like the Harlem Globetrotter's " B" team and at other times looked like the Brooks ide Bomber s. Playing hide-and-seek with brilliance is at least an exciting lifestyle. The Colonels record now stands at 4-7 but that is not what is. impor tant. The important statistic is their 3-2 MAC record. The part that hurts about tha t important statistic is the loss to a hapless Lycoming team before the semester break. The Colonels went into the home ga me with the Warriors after accomplishing the remarkable feat of putting together two good consecutive perfor mances. A loss to Division I powerhouse P hilade lphi a Texti le a nd a v ictory over Susqueha nna coupled wiUi a previous win over Delaware Va lley gave the Colonels a 2-1 MAC mark and a victory over the War riors could have put them in excellent position during the holiday break. With the Colonels however, never count on anything. Garnering a seven point lead at the half, it looked like they had it won completely dominating the game. But the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrom grasped the Colonels again (either that or the cheerleaders played the second ha lf ) and they blew the game with little help from Lycoming. They scored only 23 points in the second half and took a lops ided 80~ loss on the chin. It was a game they never should have lost and might just be the one that keeps them out of the playoffs. "It's too early to tell, " commented Bearde, " but if we miss the playoffs by one game, the Lycoming loss will be the one to point to." Not all has been bleak for the Colonel cause however. At times they have looked awesome. Their most recent conquest was over a tough J uniata team last Saturday night. They ran the Indians into the ground with a devastating fast break and out hustled them on defense. The Co"lonels play was perhaps characterized by an outstanding play by Kendall McNeil, the Wilkes flas hy forward . Kendall blocked a Juniata shot off the backboard and then hustled downcourt and took a pass for a layup to complete the fastbreak. Kendall also brought the house down with a spectacular slam-dunk just before the half. He took a pass at midco urt during another of the many Wilkes fas t breaks and when he saw no one in front of him you could see him grinning. With a flying leap from the foul line he slammed the ball and hung on to the rim as the cr owd went crazy. He drew a technical but as long as the Colonels didn't lose by that point, it was worth the thr ill. Kenny Hughes, the steadiest player thus far , . chipped in with some key points after the Indians had fought back to tie and the Colonels were in control the rest of the way. Matty Peterson and J eff Baird added solid games as surprise starters. The Colonels are heading into a very important week of action which started last night with a matchup aga inst Albright. Another MAC encounter with Upsala on Saturday wi!I complete a week which may decide the Colonel playvff aspirations. "A 64 record should be enough to get us into the playoffs," commented the fast-graying Bea rde. " We' ll just have to get down to bus iness." Will the Colonels make the playoffs ?

Nardelli was involved in a fight · which resulted in the injury of an innocent bystander about three weeks ago. He was called before the Inter-Dormitory Council three days later at which time Nardelli himself said that he should be put on social probation after being asked what punishment he thought he deserved. According to George Ralston, dean of students, the decision to place Nardelli on indefinite disciplinary probation was reached after several hours of heated discussion. Ralston stated that it was agreed upon that discipline should be regarded as an educational function. Ralston also added that Deans' Council went much further than the recommendation from IDC. Although Nardelli will not be dismissed from the college, he must maintain specific standards for the extent of his probation, which could last for his remaining days at Wilkes. Any violation of these standards will result in immediate exclusion from the college; no further consideration will be given. These standards include the provision that Nardelli not engage in any physical threats. Winter Weekend Set For February 18, 19, 20 The winter weekend sponsored by student government will be held on the 18th, 19, and 20 of ·February, but it will apparently be a local event with no activities in the Poconos. Dean Edward Baltruchitis, speaking at the weekly SG meeting on Monday, stated the cost involved for a one or two day weekend in the Poconos would require a $15 subsidy by SG so that the student ticket price would be only $15. "It doesn't mean we can't have a winter weekend locally," he added. SG has budgeted $1000 for the weekend. A motion by Steve Esrick, SG vice president, "to have the winter weekend on campus" was amended to read "to have the winter weekend locally" and was then passed. A letter sent to several members of SG by Dale Buehler, librarian, and Frederick Kr ohle, library staff member, was read and brought considerable response from the SG body. The letter was a response to SG's attempt to have a Xerox machine on campus which would charge only five cents per copy as op- posed to the 10 cents charged for the library machine. The letter suggested that SG should reconsider its price per I copy for the Xerox machine or that the school should subsidize the library's machine. Reasons for the request that SG raise its price per copy were apparently unclear to SG members. According to SG Treasurer Patti Cullinan, Bloomsburg State College currently has a five cent copier available to students and another ten cent copier in its library. Therefore, the SG attempt to have one at Wilkes is not without precedent. Several SG members experssed consternation about why anyone would be opposed to such an action that SG members believe would obviously be of help to the students. The five cent machine, they believe, would be less of a financial burden to students and would be more convenient to students since it would be placed across from the housing office in New Men's Dorm, ~ a which they claim is open more titan the library.

Another concern brought up at the Bio Dialogue Day was the course program for medical technology majors. "Nothing can be done about the med. tech, major," commented Turoczi. He stressed the need for a strict program due to the clinical experience in the fourth year. He also mentioned new courses had been added to the curriculum to allow med. tech. majors more exposure to areas ofcy which are important to th career. The problem of I ansferring credits, especially for the freshmen and sophomore biology courses (Bio 201-208M) was also discussed. President Capin sent letters to various co_lleges in Pennsylvania concerning credit transfer policies. A general policy could not be made, but the modules (The Bio 201-208M courses) would be considered as a special case when transferring. Concerning credit transfer, Turoczi stated, "It is not an impossibility. Credit for credit, they are not transferable. It does require a special case offering. " He also gave examples of biology majors who received some credit and exemption for biology courses at other colleges after taking the modules.

Well, besides being employed by Wi_lkes, they all received their masters degrees from Columbia University. What's more, all of them were at Columbia at the same time. CC Ana lys i s - - Counci / Active, Students Not As the semester closes, it is in order to evaluate the accomplishments to date of the Commuter Council. The council has been responsible for doing its best to solve parking problems for commuting students. Park and Lock stickers have been sold faithfully each month, more on-campus parking spaces will be available next semester, and the possibility of providing a shuttlebus service from Ralston Field is being looked into. Commuter Council was the only student government organization to set up a Homecoming display and it organized the Christmas party to be held Sunday night at Genetti's. It is also planning a smorgasbord for next semester. Why all this talk, then, about Commuter Council being dead? Because nobody pays any attention to CC anymore and nobody wants to get involved. There is no question that the council itself got off to a pretty slow start this semester, but it has · improved. The members have shown concern over their own lack of enthusiasm and consequently the meetings are ndw well-attended and more committees are being organized. All that is lacking now is the enthusiastic support from the commuting students that make up more than half of the 2000 students at Wilkes. With student support and interest, Commuter Council could be a vital orga,nization once again next semester. According to Dean of Student Affairs George Ralston, "It was like a little Wilkes College down at Columbia. There were four of us and sometimes six or seven of us." The group travelled back and forth together _for several summers. •~ost of us", said Ralston, "lived in the dormitories. I roomed with Mr. Chwalek one summer" . Ralston earned his masters degree in personnel psychology in 1952. He continued his graduate work until he amassed over 90 graduate credits. He completed everything necessary for a Ph.D. , but the writing of his dissertation. However, the topic for the dissertation was approved. From 1947 to 1952 Ralston spent his summers studying at Columbia. He spent a full year at the institution from 1954 to 1955. John Chwalek, now the . pl2cement director, majored in student personnel services. Of his days at Columbia with his Wilkes colleagues, Chwalek said "we used to get together fro:n time to time. After lunch we would sit down and have _-a little bull session. We would also take in a baseball game every now and then because the Yankee stadium was not far away." When he attended Columhi~ : Chwalek said he used to hitchike from Wiikes-Barre to New York. "I would allow myself $12 for a weekend in New York," he said, "and still bring back one or two dollars Qhange." . Concerning their finances in those days, Chwalek said, "All of us were short of money, it was just not available. I used to sponge more money fro m Whitby .. .! think I still owe him $10.

"We would end up going to a lot of baseball games which George (Ralston did not want to do because he t bought he should be studying all the time." "There is no question that the graduate offices of Columbia knew of Wilkes College," said Alfred Groh, now director of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. He, too was at Columbia. One benefit of being there with other Wilkes people, he said, was that "we could discuss our classes and relate what we were doing at Columbia to what we were doing at Wilkes." Groh received his masters degree in comparative literature.

By Patrice Stone Despite all · the griping that goes on about Student Government, this year 's body has proven itself to be genuinely concerning about the students. Even though there have been . no major or outstanding contributions made this semester , quite a few "behind the scenes" details, which are important to the general well-being of Wjlkes' students, have taken up many hours of time. Probably most important are the pending proposals to eliminate tests being given the week before a final exam and to eliminate cumulative finals for students with an A or a B average. Although there does not seem to be much work involved to get these proposals approved, numerous readings must take place and explanations ""given. The academic committee is to be commended for its work. Also important is the used bookstore that SG ran this semester and will run again next semester . This is an answer to students' needs. The student government members working THE HUT at Hotel Sterling Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches there get no reimbursement for the time they spend. A Xerox machine will be available next semester through efforts of SG. Also an answer to the students' needs, it will give copies for only five cents ; half the cost of copies in the library. The films being offered on a regular basis have been very good ones and student response has been good. Some attempts have been made to offer other forms of enterta inment on campus, but not that much has been done. Some improvement. can be made in this area. In a ddition to these accomplishments, the body has taken an active part in campus happenings . Dean Ralston reported directly to the body the outcome of the Dean's CounGil decision about Tony Nardelli. SG was also actively involved in fighting for better ca mpus security. A major cirticism of this year 's Student Government, however, is its seeming lack of consistency in the granting of funds. They granted $1100 to the hockey club one week, and the next we ek turned down a request by the Fine Arts Club for $100. With the large amount of funds SG controls, a more orderly system for allocating funds is definitely needed. All in all, Student Government is heading the right direction. It is working postively to solve the students' problems and tend to the students' needs. Hopefully, next semester will bring even more positive action. ...::r ID ID CD QI n 0 ~ ppeanng above as ebate Union With some of the symbols of their spirit: the trophy case enclosing "the hardware of our work," according to Dr. Bradford Kinney, Union coach, and the union's insignia placed on the practice podium.

Letters To The Editor GI Jl E GI u GI 0 C: 0 u Ill GI ID GI .c: I- The biology department faculty seems to be moving in the r,ight direction with 'the "reason and logic" approach to the problems of the biology majors. The professors want the students to know that they do care and trying to increase the students' perception of what college, in general and what Wilkes College are really like. Although the time period between Bio Dialogue Day and the Faculty Feedback was over a month, it is assumed this shows the time and effort with which the biology faculty attempted to tackle the "gripes" of the students. The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that problem. The biology department has realized there is a lack of communication between students and faculty. Through the Bio Dialogue Day and the Faculty Feedback, hopefully, the department will seriously be able to improve communications and overcome those problems and concerns which disturb biology and related majors. The faculty presented answers to student concerns in very general terms. Those specific problems that were only vaguely mentioned require more consideration . The f~culty must not forget these specific concerns since they are the ones which could harm the unity and reputation of the department. The biology professors also presented questions concerning the noise level in the cafeteria and the lack of social graces of the students, which are legitimate complaints. Yet, the concerns within the department are more important and demand the full attention of the faculty. Miracles are not expected since the faculty is only human and the members do have their own personal lives to lead as well. The spirit of Bio Dialogue Day should not be forgotten by either of the parties involved. Students and faculty members together can make the ideals work and possibly open communications that will eventually lead to the strengthing of one of the largest departments on campus. .HEACON BITS 1 Librarian Responds To 'Frustrated Student' To The Editor, The letter in last week's issue signed " Frustrated Student" deserves a response. The following is intended not only for one individual butfor the student community as a whole, because it is my feeling that part of the educational process should invo lve discovery and recognition of the other side of the question. An academic library is differ ent from other kinds of libraries. Its librarians are faculty members (just like your instr uctors ), its supporta tive staff works full time (like your parents at their jobs), and its cliente le is governed and motivated by the concerru; of "learning-Le., getting through college (which is not necessarily the same thing as getting an education). Library personnel must work a full day, but that never means 9-5. It means 8-4 three days a week, 2-10 another, perhaps a day off in the middle of the week, and working some kind of peculiar hours on Saturdays and.Sundays. It also means that library personnel, unlike teaching faculty, must be on hand during semester breaks, in summer , and a lot of other odd times when others in the academic community are not otherwise "at the office." When a holiday dr a ws near, it is Circle K Clarifies False Report To The Editor, We would like this letter published with the intention of clearing the air of the article printed by Caryn Axelrad. We, the members of Circle K, would now like to present some facts regarding our M.S. Marathon. We were shocked to hear the false accusations made by Miss Axelrad. First of all, regarding the dancers, the marathon lacked support. However, we never threw in the towel when the going was rough. Circle K members stayed the whole weekend, attempting to recruit dancers, calling on the results hourly to three radio stations even though, they were disappointing, and in general, trying to heighten interest in our cause and raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. The apathy of Wilkes College students surely proved their attitudes to such a worthwhile cause.

Deadline is January 10. the President of the Club ex- plained all the rules to each of the dancers, and various members were told to time the tireaks. Although a member didn 't personally escort the dancers from the floor to their rest area and back it was believed that the dancers had enough honesty to time themselves accurately. Many bands were approached, but they were booked. The band that played on both Friday and Saturday nights was very good, but the lack of support disrupted their usual show. During the day, when no live bands were available , tapes were used. Better tapes than no music at all. Circle,K members worked hard and long to prepare for the Marathon, It was organized much in the same manner as in the past, and our other Marathons were very successful. The apathy is very high on campus and Miss Axelrad's accusations may only increase it. If students lose faith in the organizations on campus and their attempts to coordinate activities, disinterest will grow. It's a sad situation when fellow students can't support things held on campus. We, the members of Circle K, do give a damn about such a serious diseasei;ls M.S. We are concerned because it strikes people our· age, unpredictably. Just pray to God that it never hits you. Proudly yours, CircleK therefore, with some satisfaction (and delight) that librarians look forward to having a few days to themselves, to breathe, to relax, perchance to dream, and have an extra day or two with the children or friends and families. Now imagine yourself as a library employe. (Far fetched, yet, but let'.s just suppose.) After 11 weeks of grinding your nose (with students who don't appreciate your efforts, take you wholly for granted, and never think for a moment that you are human, have feelings, and need rest like everybody else), you look forward to having an extra couple of days free. You know the college is closed: classes dismissed , instructing faculty gone , administrat ive offices closed, students home with their families. Now imagine that somewhere out there is a student who has procrastinated since the third week of classes on a paper due · the Monday after a holiday. He- ' she has had plenty of time to work, but there 's always the friend to go to MacDonald's with, the special date to do special things with, maybe a part-time job to support oneself with, plus chores around the house, athletic competitions to watch, and a myriad of other activities . Suddenly it's the Saturday before Paper Due Day. He-she rushes off to the library to find it locked, barred, closed, and otherwise rendered useless . "Those x$cx? ! ! ! ! ! librarians !" he-she exclaims, damning the whole race thrice-times over. We are still imagining, remember. Now you (th_e imaginPrl 1:~.ary employe) are factd on next opening day by an irate studentwith or without friendly supportwho demands to know why the library isn't open "all the time. " Through your mind flashes the four hundred and fifty-seven students over the past ten years who have voiced the same demand. You think too, in that instant, of the 10 to midnight shift you work when it's just you, two students, and the security guard. You remember also the Sunday activity you had planned and then had to cancel because you had to come in to work. You think of these things and others in that flash, that instant, that split second. That's why the library is closed for holidays. F.J.Krohle Reference Librarian STAFF , Editor in Chief ....... . ........ .. .......... . . .. ..... - ........

So I said to myself, "Self, why do double work?" The result of this deliberation is an extended Wizard of Waz column including the seminar. And believe me, it was funny. It all started last semester in the spring when about 60 insane people registered for student teaching in the fall. Well, part of those 60, still insane by the way, met last Friday for a seminar in Bear Creek at an overnight camp. Instructions were to leave your school at 12:00 to meet to travel to the camp. Well, some of those dummies actually taught that morning, while others such as myself and my friend, Gail, had to attend to other important matters such as sleeping in and stopping at the State Store. We figured our cooperating teachers at Valley West would be able to handle the morning without us. Dr. Rees told us all to meet in the Sear's parking lot to form a car caravan to the campsite. Well, since we had spent so much time in the State Store, we were a little lale and had to travel to Bear Creek ourselves. "Don't worry, it's right past the turnpike on the left. Just look for the sign and turn in," Dr. Rees had told us a few weeks before. Well, we found the Turnpike, we found the left side, but the sign was about a six inch square and after passing it about 12 times we finally spotted it and turned in. This was just the beginning as we soon found out. Covered with snow and ice the winding road went about three miles into the woods, through snow banks, around sharp turns, over hill and dale until finally coming to a halt at the conference site. At the 'site there was a men's dorm, and a women's dorm which could hold about 50 people apiece. Connecting these two was a common dining hall, soon to be the scene of many activities. As soon as all the student teachers arrived, including the "goodies" that went to school that morning, the festivities began. Out came the "Amazing Rees and his Bag of Tricks." He handed out pencils and paper and we were all sure we had to write ."I love teaching" 100 times. But instead we began a series of group experiments, which were amusing and beneficial. It was surprising to see just how our brains work. The first experiment was to list all the things you could do with a common coathanger. Very difficult for colleg~ seniors, huh? Okay, smartie, you try it. The highest amount of ideas was 18, and myself having 16, and the lowest 5. Some of the ideas included things from TV antennas to angels' halos. This was only the beginning of what was an exercise in brain storming. We then did some experiments in group brain storming and that was pretty funny, too. This time instead of a coat hanger we attacked a leather belt , and buckle. Well, when some suggestions included using it for toilet paper, a puke inducer, and an evening clutch, Dr. Rees concluded that we were ready to do some se_rious experiments. Again we split up into different groups and this time we were to list more items, however they had more value. On large sheets of brown wrapping paper we listed the things in our past years at Wilkes that were strengths and also those that were weaknesses. The huge lists were then posted and we had time to check the other group's lists. It was very surprising to see the things that were common to each group and those that were different. Some groups had even lis ted as weaknesses what another group had listed as a strength. Common strengthes included the Education Department and such things as good The First Annual Overnight Student Teaching. Seminar friends and extracurricular activities. Common weaknesses included the lack of a course in adolescent psychology, which is so much needed in teaching, and more mP.thods coursed. A big concern was thP future of Wilkes. Was our college to continue its emphasis on the science and someday become Wilkes Technical School or would the humanities and liberal arts become just as important again. It was very interesting to see how others share what we thought were personal concerns. This is the first step to getting things done. . After that session, Mr. Chawlek of the Placement Office gave a few comments on securing jobs. He gave hints on interviews and resumes. He also suggested that each prospective teacher plan to send out from 50 to 75 letters of application. A delightful dinner of roast beef, potatoes, beans, salad and ice cream followed. After dinner, one more exercise was done. This was a kind of self evalua tion in front of members of your small group. It was amazing to see how varied people's opinions are of themselves and how one can misjudge another. Now for the hours of "fun and frolic ," as the Education profs described it. The group sessions were concluded and we were finally able to relax over a nice after dinner beverage. This is where we really found out the most about ourselves and others. These hours of "fun and frolic:; included such things as joke telling, Christmas carol singing, and dancing. Sounds pretty boring huh? Well, let me elaborate. Imagine 30 polluted people singing the "Twelve Days of Christmas" with the motions as led by a music teacher as she taught the song to her first graders. Can't you see Mr. Johnson motioning "six geese a-laying," or "eight maids a-milking." What about Dr. Darte sing all 36 verses of that old-time risque version of "The Persian Kitty?" Can you imagine Dr. Rees taking a ballet lesson? Or how about the group doing the "Bunny Hop," "The Limbo Rock, " or the "Hokey-Pokey?" Many things were heard from the group including : "Wake up, Ed!"; "Sing it again, Frank," "I like your buns," "Shut those Music Majors up," etc. Those attending also witnessed more bizaare behavior including excerpts from "Godspell," excerpts from "Dad's Army," a gallon bottle of Inglenook disappearing in 5 minutes, and the nun joke. When the group finally retired at about 1 a.m. , it was probably another hour before the dorms were silent after having been through panty raids and "jumping from the top bunk" contests. Eight o'clock came awful early, but breakfas t was mighty good. The meals alone were well worth the five dolla rs that each paid. After breakfast, one more experiment, the one which put the whole seminar together . We once again took our lists of strenghts weaknesses, but this time taking the weakness side and narrowing down the number to just three problems. But beside listing the problem we also listed our solution. It was at this time we realized the work that we had cut out for the future. Between fun and games and the experiments a group of student teachers left Camp Ministerium better teachers and better human beings. -oJOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, What is black, white and red and runs around in a circle? A. A penguin with its wing nailed to the flo()r. By Lisa Petrone loss of 7!525 books. At this rate, the library was losing $10,000 a year. In 1973, a new system was recommended by the head librarian, Dale Buehler. The system is called the 3M Book Detection System. It is an electronic device which has the ability to detect books which have not been checked out. The books go through a sensitizing and desensitizing procedure between the book and the circulation desk control. In order for a book to pass through, ta ID u, C ID n Book Detector Detects Detective About nine year ago, there was a great concern about theft from the library. When plans for a new library were made in 1968, it was felt that security measures should be taken to prevent the loss of library materials. This decision was reached after it was found that there was. an 11,000 volume discrepancy since the opening of the library in 1933. The first preventive measure ·•,is a guard posted at the exit.

Since the installation of this system, Wlkes has saved at least $5,000 and has been able to retain valuable materials. (While I was leaving this interview, I walked past the 3M Book Detection System, and to my dismay it rang! With looks of conviction, I proceeded to take off my coat, belt, shoes and put down my books. Thank goodness they found it to be a mistake befor e I had nothing on!

ID ID n 0 ::I Accounting Majors To Get Internship$ Several Wilkes students will be serving as accounting interns next semester at a variety of companies, a ccor ding to Assistant Professor Robert Hall of the Accounting Depar tment · who is in charge of the internship program and is assisted by Louis Gettinger, assistant professor of accounting. John J astrem, Plains; Patrice Stone, Wilkes-Barre; and Peggy Walczyk, Endicott, N.Y., will be working at Arthur Andersen & Co. in New York. · Paul Berdy, Hudson, will be at Laventhol & .Horwath, WilkesBarre; while David Francis, Old Forge, will work with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. in Bethlehem ; and Russell Clelland, Pittston, will work with Baron, Strassman & Company, WilkesBarre. All these internships were arranged through the college's Placement Office. Students have been taking interviews with representatives of the companies since October. Other students who will be serving as interns next semester include : Karen Konsavage , Dallas, at Touche, Ross, & Co. in San Francisco; Carl Sgarlet, Wyoming, at Ley Accounting Services in Wilkes-Barre. A few students also served on internships during the summer : Ray Best, Flanders, N.J., worked with Lieberman,' Dumbroff, Abraham, & Mark in Netcong, N.J. ; Denise Schaal and Tom Park worked with Richard Evans, CPA in Scranton. "The purpose of the internship, " said Hall, "is to give students a chance to see what it's like in the real world and to help them get their foot in the door. " He explained that almost always, a student, serving as an intern, is offered a full-time job with the comp.a ny upon graduation. Hall believes that when companies are choosing interns, they look for someone with a good grade average; someone with a professional attitude who can fit into their company; and someone who is somewhat agressive and who looks the part of a businessman. Most of the students will begin their internships January 3 and will continue until March 14. The students will then r eturn to take classes at Wilkes on an accelerated basis. Hall explained that competition is tough in the business world and said, " Wilkes can be proud to place five or six students with big firms ." He said that to get one accountant, companies often have to look at ten applicants and all are " the cream of the crop. " " Considering the economic climate," stressed Hall " we did all right."

Members of the newly-formed Wilkes Ice Hockey Club spend much of their time chasing that elusive object as they practice at the Wilkes-Barre Ice-A-Rama at Coal St. Park. Colonel Hockey Club Is Ready For Action_ "Wilkes is as good a team as any. We're going to surprise a lot of people," was the comment from John Larkin concerning the Colonel Hockey Club. This brand new club has come to Wilkes through the efforts of two students, Larkin and Mark Davis, after pushing the idea of a club around campus. Now, with eighteen members, they are working hard to~ards an exciting season. After being turned down by the athletic department for a fund request this year, they successfully approached Student Government. Larkin said that he and the club are very grateful to Student Government for nearly totally financing the club. This year the club will participate in the North East Pennsylvania Hockey League. They will play teams from University of Scranton, East Stroudsburg State, King's College and a number of locally sponsored teams. The schedule for the club consists of a seven game exhibition Christmas tournament. After the Christmas break the regular season begins with a 15-25 game schedule. Advisor Bob Freysinger, a political science instructor, helps in coaching the club. Larkin noted that much of the coaching is done by the club itself. Larkin also stated that "we are a club and team together". There are no team captains as such but there are club officers. Larkin, a psychology major residing in Bedford Hall, is president. Vice ,president for the club is Mark Davis, a political science major, and Mike Anger, a biology major of Roosevelt House, is secretarytreasurer. Practices are held at the Coal Street Rink in the Heights of Wilkes-Barre. Games will also be held here and the club hopes to see many Wilkes students cheering them on. The future of the club looks very good. Larkin said that they plan to expand their college schedule and "we hope, within 2 or 3 years, to become a varsity sport."

WCLH once a month sends a recording crew, headed by Keith Jones the program manager and a student at Wilkes, to record the program to be aired at a later date. Musical variety ranging from jazz to rock to gospel fills the program with a little bit of entertainment for everyone . Bob Keller, a senior and a DJ at WCLH, explains · why such a program came about. " The program was introduced a couple of months ago for a few reasons. For one thing, it's good public relations for the college. It shows that Wilkes is interested in the • community as wen as its students." ''.The program also helps the Correctional Institution. It gives the inmates something to do and it fills our time as an educational program. You see, WCLH is an educational station and this is our main concern," he said.

They garnered 121 points Ill a, while runner-up Gettysburg could manage only 68. SUNY Bingham.t::. Iton and Cornell rounded out the field. The Colonels not only had seven individual champs ( out of 10 weight classes), but also had three matches in the finals which pitted them against their own teammates. Lon Balum defeated Alex Grohol at 134, Bruce Lear defeated Dennis Flanagan at 150, and in an upset Rick Smith beat Dan House 5-4 in the heavyweight bout. Amazing freshman Denny Jacobs moved up one weight class and captured the 158 pound crown on a 16-5 decision. Sophomore Perry Lichtinger and Gene Clemons won championships at 167 and 177. At 190, Dave Gregrow won the crown in an unbelievable fashion, .by pinning his opponent t7om Gettysburg in eight seconds. The Colonels also had two other second place finishers besides Grohol, Flanagan, and House. Rick Mahonski at 126 and freshman Mark Dennsberger at 142 both lost decisions in the finals.

The Midshipmen also competed in a weekend tournament, finishing third in an eight team field at Penn State, behind the Lions and Lehigh, and ahead of Clarion, Michigan State, Syracuse, and Pitt.

Monk BLUECHIP FRESHMAN - Denny Jacobs ·(150) is in con_trol of his Lehigh opponent in the 1 • I Wilkes wrestling opener. He scored a 40. The two teams traded baskets until the 4:00 mark, when WC's Karen Olney, a 5'10" junior, drove the baseline for an easy lay-up. giving WC a 5 point edge. ' On the next play, Martin answered with a 12 footer to give Wilkes a solid 51-44 lead. For the first time all night, the Wilkes women had a little breathing room. They maintained their tight defense, while slowing down to a more deliberate offense, and managed to coast into victory. The high scorers for Wilkes were: Dotty Martin and Mary-Jo Frail with 13 a piece, and Karen Olney with 12 points. The Colonelettes upped their record to 2-0 on Saturday, December 4, with a 52-29 trouncing of Drew University. With a solid rebounding and scoring effort, the Wilkes women went into the locker room with a 32-13 halftime lead. Scoring was sparked by Karen Olney, who tossed in 7 free throws and 4 field goals for 15 points. Dotty Martin and Mary Jo Frail both added 8. Luzerne Community College brought their big guns to Wilkes Tuesday, December 7. They loaded them and fired right through the Colonelettes defense. The Wilkes women fell 7640. Superb outside shooting and a well-balanced fast break by LCC put the game well out of reach before the half. Playing "catch-up" ball nearly the whole game tired WC. They had to fight for every point and · every rebound. With a lid on their basket, and five LCC shirts constantly shadowing them, it was a frustrating fight. . The performance of freshman Lynn Yedlock under the boards shown through as the only bright spot. Lynn grabbed 17 rebounds, and played her best game so far this season. Dotty Martin was high with 10.

SPORTS ~e'U ,i:,_ I g vy MAC Schedule For Cagers Martin, Olney, Frail Lead Women vs. Kings Tonite The Colonelettes won their first game of the season on Thursday, December 2, as they downed Dti:la.w are~Valley 56-46. The 28-28 half time score reflected the tight see-saw battle of the first half. Wilkes ' zone defense was successful in keeping the DV women from penetrating the key for easy shots. However, DV's well-balanced offensive attack easily moved to an outside game. The switch seemed to pay off, as they began to hit consistently from the corners. The Colonelettes' outside guns _lacked ammunition, but their better than 50 percent free throw shooting in the last four minutes of the half kept them even at the buzzer. Then, with 9:30 to go, 5'7" senior guard Dotty Martin sank 2 free throws to put WC ahead 42- - decision to help the Colonel cause. He also won a championship at the Binghamton Invitational and is still undefeated. . STUFF ONE ·- Kendall McNeil, the Colonels' leading scorer, slams one home on the end of yet another fast break. Trailing the break is Kenny Hughes. Historic The Colonel basketball team is only three games into the season and already they are being plagued by what was initially feared to be their biggest problem: consistancy. Coach Rodger Bearde's charges have gone from rags to riches and back again in the short span of a week and their see-saw battle with brilliance has been at very least exciting. The ~agers wi..ll-be faced with a very demanding week of action · before the vacation breal:, having_travelled to Philadelphia Textile last . night and then returning home with Susquehanna (Sat.) and Lycoming (Tues.). They will have to mature very quickly if they have hopes of the MAC title because all three foes are MAC contenders. The Wilkesmen opened the season in poor shape as they were troµnced by a solid Lock Haven State team, 61-55. "That was a very upsetting game because although the Eagles are good, we helped them by just standing around waiting for something to happen instead of making it happen. That was disturbing," commented Bearde. Standing around was hardly a problem in the Colonel's home opener against MAC rival Delaware Valley. The court was a constant blu~as Colonel jerseys streaked from one end of the court to the othe and simply wore down the slower Aggies in what amounted to a trac meet. The Colonel fast break was devastating, exciting, and crow -pleasing. A Tommy Donahue backhand layup and a Kendall McNeil dunk off the break showed the kind of speed the Colonels have at their disposal. The Wilkesmen won pulling away, 97-72. Then came the game with York that some observers said was nothing but a street fight. York was very "physical" and questionable _refereeing helped signal the demise of our heroes, 84-77. "I refuse to make excuses for our team based on the refs. We just have to learn to overcome obstacles," was all Bearde would say. Obstacles, yes, but incompetance and fists are another story. "Our offense is in pretty good shape, but our inside defense is where we need a lot of work," stated Bearde. The Colonel offense sports a healthy four players in double figures. Sophomore Kendall McNeil leads with an 18.3 average. He is devastating one-on-one but needs to stay out of foul trouble so that he can play more aggressively without fear of fouling out. Tony Nardelli ranks second among scorers and also has been valuable as a strong rebounder. Guard Kenny Hughes follows with a 15.3 average and balances the attack with outside shooting. Completing the double-<iigit scoring is the Colonels' leading rebounder John Zapko, 31 boards and a 10.3 scoring average. Tom Donahue has also been very· exciting. Bearde: "We have the equipment, it's just a matter of gelling and doing it instead of just saying we can do it." Acornley Wrestling Open: Dec. 28 & 29 Sport Illustrated called it the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling." Wrestlers call it, "One of the greatest • tournaments anyone would ever want to participate in." And nationwide wrestling critics designate it as the oldest mat event of its kind in the country. It is the 44th Annual Wilkes College Open Wcestling Tournament, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, December 28 and 29, at the Wilkes gymnasium. More-than 300 amateur wrestlers from ac~s the United States are expected to compete in the grappling confab which is also known as the "grand-<iaddy of- them all." Among the top teams expected to challenge defending champion Clarion State College, which has won the event four years running, are the New York Athletic Club, Bloomsburg State, East Carolina, Yale, William & Mary, Delaware, Slippery Rock State, Lock Haven State, Rhode Island, Youngstown State, Baltimore, Lycoming and host Wilkes College, which finished runner-up in five of the last six_y.ears. History of the tournament goes back to 1932 when Austin Bishop, wrestling coach at neighboring Wyoming Seminary, initiated the event under the auspices of the Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Wilkes inherited the tourney in 1950 when it became apparent that the event had outgrown the Central YMCA facilities . Competition has increased steadily from .approximately 56 entrants in 1932 to the 300 plus contestants which has been the case in recent years. Last season's crownholders include Andy Daniels (118), Ohio University; Dennis Goldburg (126 >, Indiana State; Scott Pucino 034), Rhode Island; Don Rohn 042), Clarion ; Brian Schmidt (150), New York AC; John Althans 058), Navy; Wade Schalles 067) ,i Unattached; Dan Muthler (177), Unattached; John Raver (190), Unattached; Carl babman (Hwt.), AIA. The Colonels of John Reese will try to get the first Wilkes champion since 1974 when Mike Kassab garnered the 142 Pd. division for the Blue and Gold. Last season, Jim Weisenfluh reached the finals for Wilkes , only to be pinned by Outstanding Wrestler Award Winner, Wade Schalles. This year's matches will begin at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 28 and continue till the end of the quarterfinals. Wednesday 's competition begins with the semi-finals at 1 p.m. followed by the finals and consolation finals at 8 :00 p.m. Tournament Director George Ralston has announced that the weigh-ins will take place from 7 to 9 a.m . on each day.

They had <1> the initiative to do a major :: production and their role in this ~ performance was an .important g factor in the success ,of the play. However, almost all of the credit belongs to the members of the cast and band. It was very emotional to watch and experience the interaction between the cast members. How could anyone not be moved to laugh, to cry or to think by the performance of these 10 students? The love and sensitivity with which each of them performed could not help but be radiated to the audience. All the cast members were excellent. The singing and acting was good. The voices of the cast were blended together well. Bruce Phair did a fantastic job in his role as Jesus. His sensitivity and feelings for this role added to the realism of the performance. The other cast members: Patti Fichtner, John Forte , Paul Kerrigan, David Lutz, Shawn Rozett, Mike -Smith, Adele Ann Tavella, Lisa Waznik and Mary Jean DeMichele from Luzerne County Community College, showed versatility in their complex roles. The band also contributed much to the success of the play. The members of the band were: Marilyn Anderson, Allison Coumbier, Leo Gambacorta, Joe Riillo, Donny Shappelle, Marty Straub . and Daniel Williams. Their playing was excellent. -The band's position behind the chain link fence made the musicians an integral part of the performance. Every aspect of the production added to the success of the play. The scenery, which consisted of a chain link fence , garbage cans, saw horses and other common items was very effective. The lighting was also well done. "Godspell" was one of the best proiuctions done at Wilkes in the last couple years. The success of the play is the result of the bond which developed between t!le members · of the cast, the members of the band and the four student directors. It was an experience that one will not forget for a long time and one which one should regret having missed. I II Book And Record Mart 18 S. Main St. Wilkes-Barre.

The s tudents weren' t out on another charitable endeavor"" that weekend, in fact there weren't even that many other activities planned for November 19 a nd 20. However , the brunt of the blame ca nnot be put totally on the_students, no member of the faculty and administration were seen participa ting, either. In fact virtually no one even came out to support the four indus trious people that da nced their weekend away. This strange strain of theapathy virus has been plagueing Stude?t Government, Commuter Council and Interdormitory Council. No one seems to want to get involved. The curriculum at Wilkes hasn't gotten any more demanding, and the days haven' t gotten any shorter, the people just seem to ha ve gotten more selfish. It is time for this foolishness to end, the virus has to be cured. The Wilkes family must now start to show that they give a damn. 'Go~spell: Produ.c tion Alive With Spirit " Letters To The Editor BEACON BITS Distribution Of Tickets Questioned By Student To The Editor, As a dormitory student at Wilkes for three years, I have heard many complaints about the lack of activities on weekends. That is not my complaint. Two weekends ago the play ".Godspell'' was performed on campus, and much to the credit of the people involved it sold out very quickly. However, in doing so many students did not get an opporturtity to even get placed on the waiting list, much less get tickets. Therefore, we come to . my point, if we have activities for the students how come the students can't participate? And if the students are not participating, than who is? Yours truly, TomBazzini The Wilkes College Theatre · Workshop 80 production of " Godspell" two weeks ago was a shining example of what can be produced with a lot of time and effort. The play was a totally moving experience which left the audier Cc rocking in their seats long after the last actor had left the stage. " Godspell" is a rock musical adapted from the Gospel according to St. Matthew, that combines the reverence of religion with the rock of reality. The four student directors : Linda Abbey, Dianne Lacava, Victoria Moss , 'and Randy Smith, under the watchful eyes of theatre department head Alfred S.

Two New Jersey residents, who go to Wilkes, did not spend mµch time at home this vacation. Both had to return to lovely Wilkes-Barre so they could fulfill their occupational responsibilities. Both are "Skate-Guards" at the New Ice-A-Rama, Wilkes-Barre's first indoor ice rink. Mark Davis, from Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and John Larkin, a Green Brook native, brought their talents and interests from their hometown ice arenas to ours. It all started when they heard the new ice rink was looking for some .e xperienced skate personnel. So, they went up to the Wilkes-Barre Recreation Board office to find out more information. They applied for the job and soon after found out they were well qualified and would start work as soon as possible. Their duties at the rink are to keep peace on the ice by preventing skaters from getting out of hand, skating too fast, and just plain helping out the poor skaters . They also must sometimes take care of the ice itself and even work in the skate room where skates are rented. The two skate guards are also founders and present members of the newly formed Wilkes Hockey Team. Mark, who is captain of the team, explains that it is a Hockey Club and not a school financed · team. "Many of the other schools around here are in the same League including King's, Scranton University, and East Stroudsburg State College. There are also four local clubs which make eight in our league.'' John, ~ ho is president of the club, said the team started last year as a club and played up in Buck Hill Falls in the Poconos. By Lisa Waznik !I) ~ Who's Who -i :::r I am pleased to announce the candidates for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Once again they gave me the list because this c6lumn is so well ·read: • ~ "' i S :s Simon Peter - From Salt Lake City, Simon came to Wilkes in search of himself and found himself. He is president of the Gospel Club, and founder of the Students for Heaven Society. He has participated in the Campus Ministry and was recently seen on the Billy Graham Crusade. His plans for the future include a national tour embroidering "One Way" patches on the back of wayward women's shirts. Elliot Electron -The son of Proton and Neutron Electron, Elliot is a combined Chem istry, Biology, Physics, Math, and Environmental Science Major. He received the "Isaac Assimov" Award for the most lab cuts and is secretary of the "Law of Gravity" Club from which he instituted the initiation ceremonies which is to fall off Stark Hall and land in the Courtyard. Elliot's plans for the future include research work on chemical-biological-physical-mathematicalenvironmental science. Mark Davis "It will probably be another three or four years before hockey becomes a varsity sport but we're headed in the right direction." The biggest disadvantage of not being a varsity sport is that they do not have a budget from the school. They were granted $1,100 from student government but even that is not enough to really get by on. Mark said, "It costs us $40 a game to rent the ice, plus the fees for practice time, plus insurance. Each team member has his own equipment and that runs a good amount too. Hockey is an expensive sport and Wilkes just doesn't have the money right now. The guys spend a lot of their own money." There are two seniors on the team and all members are· students from out-of-town. "There just isn't enough interest· around here yet to draw . more people to .the · sport. But Vocal Concert Features Variety Of Selections '.fhe Music Department will rresent the Wilke s College Chorus in concert on Tuesday, December 7 at 8 :30 _p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. . Director of th~ ch9rus is Richard Chapline. Since ~he date is still a few weeks away from Christmas , Chapline has chosen a program of music that ·is not entirely Christmas hymns and caroles but rather a program in a different mood. Included in the program will be "Five Folk Songs" by Johannes Brahms for unnaccompanied chorus. The "Te Deum" by Flor Peeters, which is a prayer of thanksgiving to God, is also included. One segment of the program will consist of five selections fro m Leonard Berns,tein' s ,musical "Ca ndide" including '''i' he Best of All Possible Worlds, " " Life is Happiness Indeed," , and "This Word," Candide's iament. Another portion of the program will include madrigals. They are : "Come Again Sweet Love" by J ohn Dowland ; "The Silver Swan" by Orlando Gib- 1•••••••••••••••••••••11., hons, an Italian Madrigal by Orazio Vecchi, "Sing, Sing A Song .For Me" or " Fa Una Canzone," and the humorous "Counterpoint of th:e Animals" by Adriano Banchieri. All are from the .16th Century. ~'Winter" with the text _by William Shakespeare and music by Harry Robert Wilson brings in the ' sea'sonal . changes. So, too, does "In a Stable Bare," and Christmas Song. Finally, from the rousing oratorio by Handel, " The Messiah," the chorus will sing, "And the Glory Of The Lord. " The concert is free pf a~mission. John Larkin with this new facility I'm sure it will become more popular,' ' John explained. Mark, who is a senior political science and Spanish major, is also co-captain of the lactosse team this year. There was no hockey team in his alma mater , Hunterdon Central High School, but they did once again organize a club hockey team. · "This is just a great, fantastic experience for me." Mark's sophomore cohort, John, is a graduate of Green Brook High School and belonged only to a club team there. He played in the organized league at home for almost two years. John is a psychology major who plans to go to graduate school, and he is also a member of IDC. What is a -new, different thing for residents of Wyoming Valley is old hat to these two. John relates, "There must be about five indoor ice rinks within an hour's drive from my home. It's ~ pretty common thing." Mark thinks this ice rink is just great. He is however, surprised at the amount of people that don't use it. " Ice is so valuable at home. I'm not used to playing a hockey game before 11 p. m . , and sometimes at 2 or 3 in the morning. There is just not a minute they are not in use." The Wilkes Hockey Club has its first series of games this week. Those who wish to see an innovative team in action, the Wilkes-Barre Ice-A-Rama is located on North Sherman Street in the Coal St. Park Complex, next to the Aquadome. It is in the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre. Public skating is Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to midnight ; Tuesday and Thursday from 9 :30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday and Monday 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. In between these scheduled hours are the hockey games and time slots available for rental. The 10:30 to 12 :30, sessions at' night are for those 18 and over if you are shy. Skates can be rented for . 50 cents and admission is $1.50 with spectator admission at 25 cents. For any · other information call 824-8078 or 822-0891. But don't ask fer Mark or John. They will be too busy "watching the ice." Joe Jaque -Joe is the holder of the Wilkes College sports award. He has letters in every sport including women's field hockey. His pastimes include sports and girl chasing.

The Colonels return all of last year's team with the exception of Eastern champ Jim Weisenfluh 067 ) and Roy Preefer ( 118). Both contributed excellent seasons, but both spots appear ready to be capably filled . Coach John Reese is optimistic that his squad, which includes 11 lettermen, is capable not only of cracking the Division I national rankings, but also of taking, the Eastern title. A witness to just how strong the Colonels are this year can be seen by looking through the lineup. At 118, sophomore Mat Simone has the inside track, and is backed up by junior Tim Golden and fres hmen Glynn Mansfield (Irvington, N.J.) and Don Gaetano (Crestwood). Senior Rick Mahonski (21--8-1) one of the four Colonel captains is back at 126, and may be the finest wrestler on the team. Rick was the only Colonel besides Weisenfluh to place at East~rns, finishing second to Lehigh's Bob Sloand. Sophomore Dick Bernier .stands ready to fill in when needed. Lon Balum, a three time letter winner and captain will be in at 134 pound slot. Lon who was 12-7-1 last year and is 27-14-1 lifetime is expected · to put it all together this year for his finest season. Sophomore letterman Alex Grohol who is another blue chipper will also see plenty of action at 134 and even at 142. Junior Casper Tortella ( 11-3-1) , a favorite of Colonel fans, will be seen in action at any one of three positions 034)142)150). Another captain, senior Bruce Lear 06-5-1) wrestled last night at 142, and will shift between 142 and 150 during the season. John DeSalvo, another sophomore letterman, will also see action in the 142-150 slots. Freshman Denny Jacobs, a State champion from Pennsylvania, was expected to start at 150 last night after fighting off tough competition from freshmen Mark Densberger (Danville ) and Dennis Flanagan (Delaware Valley, N.J. ). Warren Bush is yet another fine freshman in the 150 category. Junior Greg MacLean (12-9-3) is back for second at 158, and will be backed up by freshman Wade Fatool (Shitellamy) and Bill Karpovich (Meyers). Weisenfluh's 167 pound position has been won by sophomore Gene Clemons. Clemons is back after sitting out last spring. Sophomore Perry Lichtinger is also ready for action at 167. Sophomore Bart Cook (5-2 ) and the fourth captain, senior Dave Gregrow 06-9)2) will alternate in the 177 and 190 positions. Junior letterman Reggie Fatherly is also at 190 and sophomore Matt Middendorf who looked impressive at eliminations is ready at 177. Junior Danny House (6-9) returns at heavyweight and behind him is freshman Rick Smith, who later in the year may drop to 190. So with the definite abundance of talent the Colonels appear to be well stocked for this season. The competition remains stiff enough so that no one will be able to slack off and there is enough depth that unless an epidemic occurs, injuries will not hamper the squad as severely as the past two years. All in all with this supply of talent and a highly competitive schedule, this season promises to be the most exciting since the national (Division III) championship season for 1973-74. :{iiti~i[~fI~1:I'.;,,,i~ll~I~~\i~:~i'.'.: : : : , , ,:~,~=:~:, J Tonite: Del Val Home Bearde's Boys Seeking Consistency And Style By Jeff Acornley Gone is Jack Brabant. And with his departure went the only verified star that Colonel basketball has seen during the last few years. But do not despair Colonel fans, the 76-77 edition will be tough. Coach Rodger Bearde, entering his sixth season at the helm of the Wilkes cagers, has reason for optimism. " Anytime you lose a player of Brabant's quality, you are going to miss him, but we are in the unique position of having mostly young . players but they have much experience. Four of last years starters are among the total of seven lettermen returning.'' "Our biggest priority will be to establish our own personality and character out on the court. We've got to learn to play our own game and not have that dictated to us by our opponents. Without a star, it will be very much a team effort. And despite their relative experience, they are still young and consistancy will be a major factor this season." The Colonels will feature a balanced offensive attack, hoping to have five players averaging in double figures. They are very quick and will look to score from the fast break as often as possible. Bearde was hasty to note, however, that they won't be simply a run-and-gun team. The patterned offense will look first to the inside for the percentage shot and then to the outside. This isn't because of any lack of outside shooters but because many of the Colonels were high school centers and work well inside where the good percentage shots are. The Wilkes defense will be mostly man-to-man with only occasional switches to the zone, depending on the opposition. Speed was damaged a great deal when senior Terry Schoen was shelved during the preseason with a fractured ankle. He was the Colonels quick quard and he doesn't get the cast off until December 17. A decision on whether to red-shirt him will not be made until then. The Colonel backcourt appears to be in good shape despite the loss of Schoen. Senior. captain The results of last night's match with Lehigh were unavailable at press time. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::: Tom Donahue and Kenny Hughes have nailed down the starting slots. Both had missed part of last season with injuries and it is hoped that they can regain the scoring touch. They will be backed up by Nick Holgash and Bob Welsh. This is the tallest Colonel team ever with giants like John Zapko ·(~) and Jeff Baird (6-7) in the -.- middle. Last year's second leading scorer Kendall McNeil and Tony Nardelli will start at the forwards. Nardelli is used to a lot of court action and his experience will be helpful. The Colonels dropped the season opener Tuesday night at Lock Haven State, 61-55.

Sunday is reported to be the a class, but Mrs. Barker inonly day when ~uch rescheduling dicated that the faculty is willing can take place without to try the new schedule despite developing conflicts. JDC Calls Meeting To Discuss Fight Of Last Weekend The Inter-Dormitory Council called a "closed" emergency meeting Tuesday ev~ing to discuss the events of last weekend. It was the largest turnout of the year with 81 students present. After discussing the incident, which involved a fight at a Chap man Hall partv Saturday night in which two people were injured, the council voted to express the view to Dean's Council, which will meet in a special session Friday, that Tony·Nardelli be put on social probation. The result of the incident on Saturday night was that a guest of a dorm student was put in the hospital with four stitches, temporary amnesia, and a mild concussion. The agenda for the special meeting was to hear both sides of the incident. IDC acted in a judcial role when members heard stories from Greg Black and Tony Nardelli, both involved in the disturbance. Barry Zoppo was also asked about his participation in the fight and he explained his part. During the question and answer period, the question of what the issue itself was, was raised more than once. IDC president, Bruce Lear explained that the council is not making a recommendation, but rather a point of , view is being expressed by IDC to Dean's Council. One council member stated that IDC is here to decide 11 By Wilma Hurst Mrs. Barker noted that the calendar was arranged so that Sunday would be a free day in the exam schedule, and no exams are supposed to be given on that day. She did comment that she is willing to allow faculty to change the schedule and combine sections, "but if a conflict affects one student, I won't allow it." She stated that the format was introduced after students asked for a longer exam period, and that it theoretically will avoid the problem of students being scheduled for three exams on the same day. She did admit, however, that some students are still scheduled for three exams because of night classes. The registrar remarked that Continued on Pagp 2 In just about one month, these students will be settling down in their seats to take final examinations. With the new schedule that is in effect this semester, no one will have to face the impossible task of taking two exams at the same time, but taking two or three exams on the same day is still a possibility. whether Nardelli is "a threat to dorm students or not." When asked what type of punishment he deserves, Nardelli responded, "I should be put on _ _ __ social probation my oneOne or _:_=.:...e..=.~:.,::.'---'-'-=-=--~------'~=:....:::.==:.!....:-=-==c..;;:_:::.:..::..:_.::....c:.c;;;__...,:_,_:___:__ Vol. XXIX, No. 11 Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania_ 18703 November 18, 1976 two years leftfor here. _ _ _---=..:..=..:..::..:.:..:..::~_:_:~:...:....:.-=- .eato . distruptive incident of any kind and I'm out." Nardelli gave his word to the assembled group that he would conduct himself in a more favorable way in the future, and that he was "very sorry for his actions." He also remarked that in the future he would be certain to "think before he acted." At this time in the meeting Lear recognized Zoppo. Zoppo stated that "he does not do Nardelli's thinking for him ," and therefore was not making any promises as to his future actions. Lear asked Zoppo if the statement could be interpreted as a threat, a question that Zoppo failed to answer. There was some question as to how social probation would be applied. Joe Marchetti, Housing Director, explained that it is different for all cases. As for this particular case, Marchetti couldn't say for sure. It was reported at the meeting that Nardelli had made numerous apologies and showed much concern for the trouble he was involved in. From here Nardelli will meet with D<!an's Council on Friday for determination of punishment. Whaddya mean it's closed?!?!?" ·Hard Liquor Prohibited In SUB President Capin, who reportedly was partly responsible for the Student Union Board revising the SUB party policy to prohibit the consumption of "hard liquor" at parties, has denied being involved in that situation. "No one came to see me about it " he said. "The only way I io'iew was when I read about it in The Beacon." A request to hold a party in the SUB at which such refreshments would be served was turned down by Deans' Council. The Council also "recommended" that no hard liquor be sel'.ved at any SUB party, and the Bnion Board included that provision in the party policy. Lori Ashbaugh, SUB director, said that the Dean's Council directed the policy change to protect the college from any Liquor Control Board violations. When asked what student reaction has been Ashbaugh said that "many people are not too happy." Capin's reported involvement came to light during last week's Student Government meeting, when the SUB-SG representative gave her report. She mentioned By Jim Edwards and Wilma Hurst both Capin and Deans' Council as influencing the Union Board's decision. However, Capin asserted in an interview last week that the statement was "not the truth". Deans Ralston and Baltruchitis confirmed that they had not discussed the matter with Capin. The president also reaffirmed his official position concerning alcohol on campus, by referring to written college policy. Concerning the policy change, Dean Baltruchitus simply stated "we can't go against state law." Dean Ralston said that he and Dean's Council are "open to doscuss anything concerning revisions of the party policy, if it came up." He stated that he had no further comment at the time. The decision of the Union Board to prohibit hard liquor at parties caused much discussion at the SG meeting, with some members asking if SG should not challenge the decision. The body · decided not to push the issue, however, after its advisor commented that it "might be pushing your luck." SUB representative on Student Government, Diane Coleman, is going to constructively challenge the new policy change at the next SUB meeting. Once Coleman reports back to Student Government, then Student Government can try to amend the policy. In addition to the policy change Ashbaugh noted that groups sponsoring parties must also supply soda. That regulation, listed thirteenth in the party policy, states, "Groups sponsoring a function where alcoholic beverages will be served must provide a minimum of one case of soda for those attending that are under 21 years of age." SG Seeks To Revise Test.i ng Procedures Confusion seems to surround Student Government's proposals on pre-final testing week procedure and final immunity. According to Gina O'Brien, SG president, many faculty members do not fully understand the proposals and so no positive action has yet taken place concerning them. The proposal that would eliminate tests being given the · week before final examinations was read at the last faculty meeting but the group did not ' vote on it. If the proposal is passed, Miss O'Brien said that some of the stress placed on students at the end of a semester would be relieved. Students would have time to "catch up on their work and would only have to worry about papers and finals that last week instead of tests, papers, and finals." She said such a procedure would reduce the conflict bet- ween learning new material and studying the old material. "We want uniformity," said Miss O'Brien. "We want all departments to follow the same procedure." She explained that some departments · are saying "we can't do that, " while others are doing it. Music majors usually have their finals prior to the standard final week. Miss O'Brien said SG rec!,'!ived a letter from the English Department stating that it endorses the proposal of SG that no tests be given the week prior to finals. The proposal will be read again at the next faculty meeting and hopefully the faculty will vote on it. The proposal concerning immunity from finals also seems to be misunderstood. This proposal states that students be exempted from finals if they have Continued .on: Page 3 �Exam Schedule N QI Final examinations are scheduled according to class hour.

From Page 1 received a 3.0 or a 4.0 in the course by the end of the semester. But Miss O'Brien explained that the students must be 25 percent above the 3 or the 4 ( according to what the professor determines that to be), and " it has to be a cumulative exam that the student is getting out of." She explained that if the final for a course is not cumulative, it would not be fair for a student to be exempted from it. "And a student has to · cpmplete all required assignments for the course," she said. Whether these proposals become a reality depends on a vote from the faculty. Miss O'Brien realizes that if they are passed, a period of adjustment will be needed. #;,;-.1\} .................

Manager t{((;f~ed At Wilkes Cafete.r·ia By Rich Scott In the past few years, the Wilkes cafeteria has been under heavy fire by complaints from dorm students. A few weeks ago this discontentment almost turned into a war with the threat of a food boycott by IDC. A need for a change was apparent and something has been done about it. Mr. William Denion, manager of a food service which caters Wilkes, has appointed John Homa to the position . of Assistant Manager. Homa has been at Wilkes for only three weeks and already feels at home. The fact that he was born and raised in WilkesBarre could help this feeling. · After graduation from- Coughlin High School, Homa went on to the Air Force Academy in Colorado, where he spent seven years as a food manager. Since leaving the . Air Force, he had been. a food manager on another job, for about two years before coming to Wilkes. The general attitude of the dorm students about the cafeteria is a strange one. On a whole, there is a great dislike for cafeteria food. Some accept the food and never complain. Some students have noticed a change in the food. Whether or not a change has been noticed, there has been a change. That change is John Homa. It is his behind the scene organizing which has created better food and better service in the cafeteria. The food is the same food Wilkes ·students have been eating for years . The change is in the food's preparation and servicing, along with a new atmosphere in the cafeteria . A variety of meats, quality in the food due to the emphasis put on its preparation,and .a definite improvement at . the . salad and desert table .?re : jl!5t a few of these chang«:,s. .. .. .' John Homa " I'm here to help the students," Homa said, "because it's their cafeteria and it's my job to make it as comfortable as possible for them. "I'm here to serve them. and make any changes which I cah to better the cafeteria. " Helping Homa to get to know the students' needs is Sheree Kessler, head of the food committee on IDC. Through weekly meetings with Homa and Denion, Sheree has also helped improvements occur. One of these improvements is at the Thanksgiving meal, students will have a choice of turkey or steak. What all this comes down to is there is no reas,,m-, for complaining. If there'• is ' :problem concerning anything about the cafeteria, see John Itoma or Sheree Kessler, because~they are both here to help the students.

J\ ru1 TthKCt The past weekend's activities have incited action and enthusiasm into what had become a dull, apathetic semester for the bulk of the student body. You may wonder what monstrous activities could have turned the tables so quickly ... a play? ... a movie? ... an ~ athletic victory? No, two significant fights . What exactly ~ makes a fight ordinary or significant seems to have been the 1- dilemna that Tuesday's emergency meeting of IDC tried tosolve. . "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers you must ... first make them men," was the philosophy of John Stuart Mill, and the philosophy of education Wilkes College has adopted. This educational belief supposedly produces college graduates of strong faith and fine character. It was also the job of IDC to_define just what is strong faith and fine character . c 0 ~ Unneccessary damages and abusive behavior, on the part of a few students, has surpassed all tolerance levels. There appears to be no reason for such childish acts. The question is when and how do the rules suddenly get enforced. As it is not fair for the entire student body to suffer the consequences of <\.few student's wrath, it is also unfair that all such incidents have not been dealt with equally since the 1 beginning of the semester. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • The pathetic part of the whole weekend is that it takes ridiculously abusive activities to incite interest, into an otherwise uninterested student body. It seems that either students are either totally satisfied with life at Wilkes or they are suffering from severe cases of paranoia. Wilkes .students have a tremendous say in them:lkingof policies and various cuurriculum changes, but no one seems to want to take the responsibility of exercising these privileges. Even the move in S.G. to abolish comprehensive exams for students with an A in a course has not been met with ·a deluge of opinions one way or another. The Beacon is encouraging students to drop the paper a note through inter-dorm mail indicating opinions and suggestions about students' views on campus life. Indicate your class and anything you would like to see changed or amended at Wilkes. A large amount of results could bring significant changes, or at very least prove that someone is interested in the future of Wilkes. -o- Football Player Giv-e s Sports_Editor Another Dig To The Editor: I like the way Jeff Acornley writes for The Beacon. He does for The Beacon, what Jaws did for Atlantic City, botulism did for a soup company and legionaires disease did for the Belluvere Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. Last edition in The Beacon, Acornley stated, "Criticism is the lifeblood of society providing the parties are willing to use the opinions to better themselves. Maturity helps," Yes, criticism is the lifeblood of society just as "Howard ·Cosen Live" was the Student Bothered By Indifference To The Editor: STATEMENT O F OWNERSHIP.

Apathy is defined as indifference. Bear in mind that I am attacking the disease, not "The Beacon''. About four weeks ago, I inserted into the "Beacon Bits" column announcements con. cering proposals to start two clubs : History and Sailing. The Sailing Club idea is dead. The History Club is still "on the drawing board," I have received a small number of responses to these announcements. This is partly my fault, as I have neglected to publicize my proposal(s). The lack of student involvement is also to blame. The History Club will be open to everybody, not just the people are are History Majors. It is not going to be limited to a few people with names of personalities and dates of famous events dancing through their heads. It will serve the same purpose as the other clubs do - provide social, cultural, and academic companionship between members. Students of Wilkes College, Get Involved ! ! ! Come up to my room, number 346 in New Men's Dorm, and we'll draft a constitution , elect officers, etc. If you Commuters have no idea where New Men's Dorm is, Ask!!! . come on over! Sincerely yours, Shep Willner lifebwod of variety shows. Mr. Acornley tells us The Beaconis Wilkes College's school newspaper and not "Cheerleader's Weekly." I think most students, faculty and admil(is tra tion • who read The Beacon realize this. Although I must admit "Cheerleader's Weekly" has more variety. It is my opinion that the letter to the editor by those seven young ladies was not an attack to the Wilkes College band, as much as this letter is not to the members of The Beacon and cheerleaders. As for "strength and guts,:' this student body does on.e heck of a job in campus participation in activities considering it is a dorm and commuter college. To close, I feel Wilkes College football needs Jeff Acornley for both his aggressivness and desire. I urge and nominate Jeff Acornley to speak to Coach Roland Schmidt to become a member of the 1977 Wilkes College "Colon~l" football squad. I feel Jeff Acornley should participate in Wilkes College football so he can keep up his tradition of being a vivid "athletic supporter." In warm regards touche ! ! !

Foreman In_ Murde~ Trial Tells Of His Experiences•----------------· i ., By Lisa Waznik The Biggest Show In Town How would you like a two-week vacation from school? Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? However, Frank :McGrady, a sophomore from Laflin, didn't think it was that good. You see, Frank has just come out of spending two weeks away from home, family and school while serving as a juror in a recent murder trail in Luzerne County. Forced to live in the Hotel Sterling and not allowed any outside communication, Frankcells his tale. ........... With .the student production of "Gods pell" opening for high school students tonight, I thought I'd let you readers in on what you will see in the show. Here is a list I have compiled of reviews the show has received so far: -Rex Reed "EXCELLENT SCENERY AND SET IN THIS PRODUCTION." -:--Klaus Holm "ORIGINAL AND INGENIOUS PLOT." -St. Matthew "NICE JOB BY THE CAST IF THEY WOULD ONLY LEARN THEIR PANTOMIM~." -Diane Lacava "MEDIOCRE ACTING BUT THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF EXCELLANCE ON THE PART OF THE MUSICIANS!" • • \ -Marilyn Anderson "LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MY SONG, MOM." -Stenhen Schwartz "NICE PRODUCTION, BUT THE LEADING MALE THINKS HE'S GOD." -Bruce Phair "I LIKED THE ORIGINAL UN-CUT VERSION BETTER MYSELF." -John Forte "IT'S A FUNNY SHOW BUT IT'S NOT FUNNY." -:-Randy Smith "EXCELLENT DIRECTING JOB. THESE STUDENTS MUST HA VE HAD A GOOD THEATER TEACHER." -Al Groh Frank McGrady concerns if the death penalty should be awarded. Frank relates, "I didn't really know much at all about the case. I was the only student to be selected." Wednesday afternoon the jurors were sworn to being fair and just in the trail and that night the opening statements of each side were heard. For the next two weeks, Frank McGrady was to eat, sleep, and breath with only 13 other people and have no contact with · the outside world. His parents were notified and they in turn notified the school. Each were questioned once again if they knew anything about the case or were influenced in any way. They were also asked questions as to whether there were any religious or moral Knight-Time Puzzlers By Sue Ann Knight 1. What movie did Superman (George Reeves) play in? 2. What is Cora's (from Maxwell House commercial) real name? 3. Who is the author of "The Waltons?" 4. Who are the MC 's of the following shows? The original "Treasure Hunt" "The Dating Game" "The Newlywed Game" "Truth or Consequences" 5. Anyone remember "I'm Dickins, He's F enster?" Who starred? ANSWERS ,.-zo ti) Cl ti) QI n ::, "GOOD SHOW, FILLED WITH WINE , WOMEN, AND SONG!" "Monday morning, I just sat around down there waiting for my name to be called. Around noon it was called for a civil case but as it turned out, the case was settled out of court. So there I was waiting around again." Soon after 140 possible jurors were narrowed down to three and Monday, the District Attorney and lawyers for the defense had to question each of the 140 and it wasn't until Wednesday afternoon that the 14 members of this particular . jury were s~lected. -i '::t 0 "I just received a notice in the mail that I was to report to the Luzerne County Courthouse to serve as a juror for any cases to come up the week of October 25th." Frank said as soon as you register to vote in the county you are eligible to become a juror and you almost have no choice"'in the matter with the new system of selection. There has to be a pretty good reason for not serving, and as Frank said-many of his fellow jurors were mothers with babies at home and many professional men. Frank said ~mer lunch they began screening people, but neither he, nor anyone else knew why. The screening lasted for about half an hour in which many personal questions about backgrounds were asked such as if there were any law enforcement officers in your family or questions about the law. There was still no hint at the murder trail as of yet. 00 ·uqsv uqor pue s1a~u3 .(pew ·g J.)}!Jl:?8 qoa }!U1:?qn3 qoa ~Ue'J Wlf J.)}j;)TIJ.

PUJM aqJ. lll!M auo{),, ·1 "We stayed in the Sterling and really weren't even supposed to discuss the case between ourselves. I really had no idea how long this was going to last. It's a scary thing." The case involved a man who was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit arson, one count of arson, and five counts of second degree murder of a Deputy Sheriff, his wife and three children who were turned in the fire. The deliberating between the jurors after the last statements of the trial lasted three and a half hours before coming up with the unanimous verdict. Jurors were not allowed to take notes during the trail. During the deliberating the officials figured no important items would be overlooked by 12 people. They were, however, allowed to view photos of the exhibits. Frank, who was the jury foreman, was also the youngest juror. "This was probably the hardest thing I ever did in my life. When you think that I can't even decide on a major in college and I turn around and decide the outcome of someone's life." Coming home from the trial was also a big adjustment for Frank. First, he was two weeks behind in every subject and he also was subjected to constant questioning £roll) friends and · relatives about his experience. "I brought my books with me but I really had no spare time at all. As a result, I felt I was too far behind and decided to drop my English course." When asked how fair the trial was Frank concluded, "I couldn't ask for a fairer trial if I were being tried. It is a good system."

Nursing Students Plan Career Day The Nursing Student Organization will hold a career day on .November 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the C.P.A. which will be, according to Jim Nicholas, a member of the N.S.O., a program "designed to provide opportunities to all those · nursing majors interested in careers in specific branches of the Navy, Air Force, or the Army." Representatives from Montafeory Hospital will also be present to answer questions and offer suggestions for those who wish to follow this type field of endeavor. Each representative will be located at various tables designated with the particular section each is there for. The student can inquire much more freely in this manner, rather than having a classroom ty~ atmosphere. Nicholas is looking forward to this function himself and hopes that many will take advantage of this opportunity to possibly gain a respected position in one of the grouos.

Overhead The Colonelette field hockey team added another honor last weekend to its unforgettable 1976 season. The girls travelled to Franklin and Marshall to compete in the MAC Tournament and came home with a fourth place trophy - better than any field hockey team_ from Wilkes has done before. Although the Blue and Gold fi nished fourt h out of nine competing teams, they opened their tournament on a rather sad note when they were defeated, 20, by Dickinson on F r iday morning. In a - very evenly matched contest, both teams were on attack about equal time. The Dickinson team scored its first goal in the first half but wasn't able to score again until the last minute of play. The difference between the two teams was Dickinson's ability to get to the ball first. They backed each other well and kept the Wilkes girls from mounting a strong attack. Junior Jean Johnson played an excellent defensive game, while freshman Lee Ann Earl had plenty of key saves in the goalie cage. The second game proved to be much easier for the female Colonels and they downed Drew University, 5-0. Ronna Colvin led the way with three goals. Cocaptain Penny Bianconi scored one and Barb Gorgas added another. Assists came from Miss Gorgas, three ; . Miss Bianconi, and Lu Ann Neely. The Wilkes girls knew that it was either " do or die" in this game and they chose to win and continue on in the tourney. Jerry Ann Smith was like a vacuum in the center, keeping the ball to the attack all the time. Miss Colvin had many shots at goal and showed excellent position. She was always in the right place to get the second effort shots in for a score. On Saturday morning , the Colonels knew they had to win again to stay in the tournament. And win they did as they slipped by Juniata, 1-0. For this game, the Wilkes women were forced to play without the services of Jerry Ann Smith and Barb Gorgas. The two girls left Friday night for Rochester, New York to compete with the Susquehanna teams at Mideast Tournament. Coach Gay Meyers was thus compelled to change her line-up somewhat.

Pf'nnsvlvania 1R70:l November 11. 1!176 Ne'W Gylll Needed To Suit Everyone · "There's a big, big need here at the college for another gym. We just don't have enough space to comfortably suit everyone." This was the sentiment expressed by John Reese, athletic director at Wilkes, as he described how congested the gym usually gets. He said that since the college has only one gym and one floor, the men's and women's basketball team, the wrestlers, the cheerleaders, majorettes, strutters, the karate cjµb, and other organizations must always Dixy Lee Ray Cancels Out The Dr. Dbc.y Lee Ray lecture, which was scheduled for last Monday night at 8 p.m. in the CPA, was cancelled due to changes in the governor-elect:s plans. Dean Edward Baltruchitis said that Dr. Ray, newly elected governor of Washington, was attending a national governor's conference from November 8 through November 10. He said that Dr. Ray may be rescheduled to speak at the college. · According to Baltruchitis, the governor-elect liad a contract with the Wilkes, but the contract doe~ not bind the agency to produce the star. Dr. Ray, who was to speak on "Alternate Energy ,,Sources ," was the first woman chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, when appointed by President Nixon in 1973. Not only has she had a long and prestigious career, but she has also been the recipient of various awards and honors. coordinate their practice times. Reese explained that the practice time for the women's basketball team has to be worked around the schedule of the men 's team. " But that's because we don't have enough space, and the men's basketball team had the program first. The wrestlers too have to work around the men's basketball team at the edges of the court." According to Dotty Martin, cocaptain of the- women 's basketball team, "there is much overlapping of practice times." She said, "We only need the court to practice, but the gym gets so noisy at times that it's hard to hear what your coach is • saying." She explained that other coaches may be talking to their teams, or the cheerleaders, strutters, or majorettes may be practicing using tape recorded music. "It's hard to concentrate," she said. "This is nobody's fault, but it's not fair to any of the groups. And you can't tell anyone to leave, because each group is as much a part of Wilkes as the next group." Martin along with Reese, believes that "a new gym would be perfect." "With another gym, everything would run smooth," explained Martin. "Everyone would have the privacy they need. And with the athletic program growing so fast, the need for a bigger gym is growing." According to Reese an extension of the gym was designed a long time ago, but "ever since the fire at Conyngham, the Agnes flood, and the construction of the new Stark Learning Center, nothing has been done." This is a photo of the proposed extension of the gym that came to light during the 1970-73 Forward Thrust campaign. No date was attached to the project. According to John Reese, athletic director, attention was drawn away from a new gym due to the Conyngham fire, the Agnes flood, and the construction of the Stark Learning Center. Commentary S\Vine Flu Shot Set For Tuesclay "Roll up your sleeves America" is the persuasive slogan of the controversial Swine Flu vaccination. Wilkes College is asking its students and faculty members to roll up their sleeves on November 16, between the hours of 9 a .m; and noon in the gymnasium. The vaccine will also be available to the general public from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the gym. The vaccine will be administered without charge. A detailed release form must be signed before receiving the innoculation. Anyone allergic to eggs should not take the vaccine. And anyone acutely ill with a fever on the day of the vaccination should wait until fully recovered before receiving it. Those concerned about any previously existing medical problem should consult his or her family physician about taking the vaccine. Although the value of the shot has been argued, recent surveys have proven that the deaths held attributable to the vaccination could have been due to many other causes. The chance of not taking the vaccination, is far worse than the chance of taking it. Recent statistics prove that in any 24-hour period there are approximately 16 deaths among every 100,000 people in the 60 or above age bracket. Therefore, tracing the swine flu vaccination to any particular death is not a fair judgement. One takes a far greater risk walking home from class each day. The vaccination is harmless, painless and takes minutes to administer. President Ford in an effort to gain public support for the $135 million program consented to the innoculation in the hope that others will follow suit. It is worth taking the time to get down to the gymnasium next Tuesday, and roll up those sleeves ... it only takes a moment. 'Godspell' Under Direction Of Students • · . · The next major theatrical production at Wilkes is unique in that four senior theater majors are in charge of all facets of Godspell. Linda Abbey, Diane Lacava, Vicki Moss, and Randy Smith will direct this performance. Godspell is part of their Theater Workshop 380 class. Usually each student does a one-man show, but these students desired to fill their requirement by putting on a major production. Although auditions were held in September, they have been planning this production since last spring. They are coordinating everything from sets to costumes to lighting. There are several crews working under them and responsible directly to them. Everyone consults directly with the four directors who jointly make decisions. The show is highlighted by a full-stage band. It will be held in the C.P .A. from November 19 to 21. Tickets will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., beginning on MonJay, November 15. Students with Wilkes ID's will receive two free tickets, with each additional ticket costing $1.00. Tickets for all other students will be $1.00 and for adults $2.00. The musicians who highlight this play include Danny Williams, Marilyn Anderson, Donny Shappelle, Leo Gambacorta, Marty Straub, Allison Coumier, and Joe Riillo. -Among the crew heads helping the directors are Ann Boris, Paul Gallagher, John Novak, Randy Smith, Tony Baronio, and Elayne Tubman. Also serving as crew hands are Jim Ruck, Jeff Shlicher, John Griffith, Mollie Kennedy, and Bob Klein. Pictured in the front are Adele Ann Tavella, Long Island, and John Forte, Pequannock, New Jersey.

Dr. Merrill Presents Voting Power Talk Dr. Samuel Merrill, associate professor of m athematics a t Wilkes College, recently spoke at the national meeting of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Atlantq, Ga. His talk was based on a research paper, "Citizen Voting Power Under the Electoral College : A Stochastic Model Based on State Voting Patterns." Using the Wilkes computer, Dr. Merrill analyzed the voting record of all presidential elections from 1900 to 1972. With this information, he developed a scale to measure the influence of a typical voter on the outcome of national elections under the electoral college system. A resident of Shavertown, Dr; Merrill graduated from Tulane and received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University. He joined the Wilkes faculty after teaching at the University of Rochester for several years. The associate professor has published several ar ticles on national and international journals and is a member of the Rochester chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. - -- - N OTI CE - - - Tryouts for the next Wilkes College theater produc tion, "Rhinoceros," were announced by Alfred S. Groh, director. Open tryouts will be held at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on November 29 and 30 between .7 and 9 p.m . . "Rhinoceros" by Eugene Ionesco is a savage commentary on the absurdity of the human condition. First presented in 1960, the play is a satirical comedy about a small town that is suddenly besieged by a r oa ring rhinoceros. Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W. Market St., Wilkes-Barre Jim Serino, Falls., (business administration major) - No, I didn't vote because I disliked both candidates. But I would have preferred to see F ord win the election. He was starting to straighten out the country, and I'm afraid tha t Carter may get us involved in a major war. Karen Olney, Connecticut, (accounting major ) I voted on an absentee ballot. I was surprised at the results. I voted for Carter, but I didn't expect him to win. Yet I do think we need a change - a new - face in office. A Democratic Congress and a Democratic president could work together for some changes. Bill Salus, Wyoming, (history major ) - Yes , I voted and for the winner. The decision of the pres idency , physica lly speaking in terms of legislative efficiency, does not directly affect the populous to any noticeable degree. I do, however , feel that in a psychological sense, the charisma of the president could initiate some positive reactions towards government as a whole. That is, the attitude towards government could change somewhat as to the interest and/or enthusiasm generated by the president in the people to become more involved in the governmental system. Nonetheless, I have an ambivalent attitude towards this presidentelect. Linda Hobrock, assistant dean of women Yes, I voted. I think it's going to be a:n interesting four years, especially if president-elect Jimmy Carter can fulfill all ,of his promises. Sue Fischer, Duryea, (nursing major ) - I didn't vote because I couldn't get to the polls in time. I was disappointed in the results because I don't feel Carter has the experience or qualities needed to lead a country. Art Daniels, New Jersey, (chemistry major ) I didn't vote because I didn't particularly like either candidate and I didn't want to condone any particular one. Yet I didn't think much of the results, the election was not worse than any other election. We should however, give Carter a chance . John Meyers, director of continuing education · and graduate studies - Yes , I voted. I thought the outcome was interesting qecause there doesn't seem to be any one particular explanation that accounts for why Carter won. I'm not sure whether the vote was for Carter or against Ford. Carter represents the lowest common denominator cha nge, but I don't think that the mandate which he hoped to get from the American people is firm enough. Given the lack of experience he has on the national level, I' m not certain he'll be able to accomplish what he's promised to the American people, but it will be interesting to see what he can do.

' The proposat' that would eliminate tests being giy~p the week before final examinations was read at the faculty ·-meeting last week by Dr. Soter~ Dean of Academic Affairs:: Academic Committee Chairman Carl Holsberger reported ~hat the proposal was read incorr~ctly, however, and his attempt to clarify it accomplished little. As a result, the proposal will be read once again at the faculty meeting next month. Until then Holsberger intends. tct explain hi~ proposal at individual department meetings. . It was also reported that the faculty's reaction to th!;! proposal to eliminate cumulative final examinations was not encouraging. It is believed that the reacti,on may be due to the fact that the proposal as printed in The Beacon last week failed to emphasize that it concerned cumulative finals only. A social committee meeting scheduled last week had zero attendance. Vice President Steve Esrick pointed out that these committee meetings are open to everyone, not just Student Government representatives. High School Journalists To Compete On Saturday Area high school journalists will have the opportunity to learn more about various news media at the Wilkes College Journalism Society's Second Annual High School Workshop, Saturday, November. 13. The program is designed to familiarize students with the basic ideas of newspaper coverage and layout, and to give them the opportunity to put these concepts to use in an actual situation. Workshop participants will work on an issue of The Beacon. A luncheon will follow the morning workshop session, and people from various news media will speak. Gary Essex, WNEP: TV; Dave DeCosmo, WMSM Radio; Paul Golias, Times Leader Evening News-Record· · and Bob Heim, will be th; featured speakers. A newspaper competition will also be held, with Journalism Society members judging for five awards. Awards will be presented for best news coverage, best copyediting and layout, best feature writing, best sports coverage, and best overall newspaper. A written evaluation for each paper will be prepared and presented to the school's representatives. Editors and staff members of The Beacon will conduct the workshop, and will instruct students in copyediting, headline writing and layout, in addition to allowing the students to experiment and learn new ideas about the newspaper's operation. Journalism Society President Joseph Buckley commented that the workshop is designed to ·m eet the needs and interests of both experienced and inexperienced journalists. "We hope to demonstrate the basic ideas of journalism," he said, "while also providing the opportunity for students to be involved with a college-level paper. The best way to learn about newspaper operation is to actually work with the paper. We feel that this year's program can benefit all interested students." He also noted that faculty advisors are encouraged to attend the program with their students. ' The afternoon speakers will give students a view of the different area news media, according to Buckley, and the newspaper competition will serve to recognize the achievements of the local students.

Ill .c E ~ 0 z C 0 u Ill Ill II) Ill ,C ~ Female. ,a_thletes, on all levels of competition, do not receive the 'att'ention and consideration they deserve. Athletes ranging from grade school girls to professional sports women usually ·pla'y 'out of the spotlight while their male counterparts have the pleasure of being center-stage. 'Please no,te that we are not criticizing the programs for male athletes. For the most part, these activities are excellent opportunities-for people to participate in sports, provided the programs ·are not overemphasized. But female athletes devote just as much time and effort, under .. more trying conditions, and usually receive only a fragment of the praise and attention awarded to others. Girls in elementary schools are very often completely ignored; high scho~>I" programs for girls ar~ theoretically "equal" to the boys' programs because of feder~l and state laws, but realistically they are usually inferior to some degree; and college programs depend on the size and motivation of the school. For example, a school such as Wilkes cannot be expected to compete easily with one like East Stroudsburg, a college that offers a physical education major. Despite the fact Wilkes is not as athletically-minded as some other colleges, especially concerning women's sports, our female athletes have done well in competition thus far this year. Championships in tennis and field hockey attest to that And there is evidence that a certain amount of concern is given to the women's program, since the college did take the time and effort to acquire a fine coach for the women's basketball team when the need for one arose. Wilkes sports programming for women is at least equal to other local colleges, although it should be, considering enrollment and the number of years the college has been in existence. King's College, which opened its doors to women only a few years ago, is in the process of building a program; Misericordia's program is comparable to Wilkes', although its coaches are not rewarded for their time and efforts either in money or reduced class schedule; and Luzerne County Community College is well into women's sports and also offers the first two years of a physical education major. Relatively speaking, our program is pretty good. But it can be better, especially where the attitude toward the program is concerned. Wilkes women and other female athletes deserve much credit for past and present efforts. We would like to see their enthusiasm and dedication prevail in the future, aided by the moral and active support of all sports fans. Addition On Gym Needed The Wilkes Gymnasium is in desperate need of an addition. With the change of season, men's junior varsity and varsity basketball, wrestling, women's basketball, karate club and intramurals all have to compete for floor space. The gym has taken on a carnival-like atmosphere. Screaming and shouting from coaches all over the gym echo off the walls. Any kind of concentration is difficult without tryiag to gain proficiency in any given sport. Wilkes has proven itself a power in many athletic endeavors , and therefore deserves a gymnasium that is an adequate size to include all the diverse activities. Sports are an effective outlet for scholastic headaches, but space is needed to pursue these sports. The old Miner Hall lot gives the needed space for the expansion. In the past money has been allotted to complete the Stark Learning Center, for the pursuit of academics, now it is time that the college once again loosen its belt in order to add on to another structure. This structure is also essential for the growth of the college. It is hoped that the college will heed this suggestion and consider plans to build a drastically needed addition to the gym. ..

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Candidate Raises Important Issues To The Editor: I am currently running for election as Freshmen Class President and feel that it is very necessary to raise what I feel are important issues and why I wish to become president. I believe that as a class officer I can work in conjunction with the other campus government organizations to accomplish my goals, as well as with the administration and students. I believe that a class president should serve as a bridge between the other organizations, and if elected, I plan to do exactly that. My primary reason for wanting the class presidency is because I see a great potential for improvement at Wilkes College. As president I would have direct input into the decision making process and could help make Wilkes a better place to iive and go to school. If elected, one of my primary tasks would be to improve the overall quality of cafeteria food for dorm students. I am sure many will agree that there is a definite need for improvement. : ;.,ei1eve in the involvement of as many people as possible so I Actor Will Stutts Extends Thanks To The Editor: I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the warmth and hospitality extended me during my recent Artist in Residence engagement at Wilkes College. While there are possibly many other positive ' sides to the profession of theatre which I have personally chosen to engage in, most certainly meeting such marvelous individuals as all of you is at the top of the list. I look forward to the opportunity of coming to Wilkes again in the future. Sincerely, Will Stutts would work for increased involvement, especially commuters. Fresh~en awareness to campus activities is very low. Many times an event will occur and the people most interested don't find out until after it occurs. This simply must change and if I am elected it will change. My major purpose will be to be as responsive to student wants and needs as possible and to get more freshmen involved in Wilkes College. As president I would listen to what the freshmen want, and act accordingly. I hope that the freshmen class will show that they want a better Wilkes College and vote for Albert Collier for Freshmen Class President on November 11.

Reif, chairman of the biology department, the "expert ornithologist" on campus is Mr. Edwin JoJ:mson of the education department. Johnson and Rev. William Reid of the Wilkes-Barre Central Methodist Church are writing a book about the birds of Luzerne and Wyoming counties. Dr. Reif, who accompanies Johnson on some of his bird surveys, sent a dead bird to Johnson in order to confirm his own identification of the bird's species. Dr. Reif found the bird, which had died either from exhaustion or from flying into a bank window, on a sidewalk. Johnson stated Dr. ~eif's identification was correctand the bird was a Maryland yellowthroated warbler. · ' 'I conduct the annual Christmas census in the county," said Johnson. "It is a national census taken from December 21 to January 1." Johnson, Rev. Reid and 10 to 12 people including, Dr. Reif, Dr. Robert Ogren, biology departnen t, Mr. Michael Barone, education department, and Mr. Terry Baltimore, manager of WBRE-TV, spent 24 hours counting the number of birds and number of different species in a 7½ mile circle around Huntsville Dam. The results are then sent into the National Audubon Society. Johnson and Rev. Reid also take a nesting census along a 25 mile stretch. Johnson stated they stop every ½ mile for three minutes and record what birds are found in a specific location. Johnson also teaches a graduate course in the summer about birds. The course deals with how to identify birds and how to set up study units on birds in teaching.

"You're constantly searching for synonyms and so you increase your vocabulary, plus you're reviewing your own grammar." "You learn your English better because you have to make comparisons," she added. Seeing the teaching of foreign languages and cultures in schools as a necessity, Dr. Marban said, "A person should be familiar with other civilizations and should therefore study about other countries and learn their language. She pointed out how officials in Florida needed help to integrate • the exiled Cubans years ago, and how she is often called upon by local officials to help translate for foreigners who are involved in automobile accidents. Students studying a foreign language can pursue a variety of different fields. They can become teachers, social group workers, foreign clerks, interpretors, translators, medical assistants, imigration inspectors, travel agents, stewardesses, lawyers, and a variety of other professions. Dr. Marban said that often a ·foreign language background helps doctors and nurses learn technplogical terms faster and easier. The late Mao Tse-Tung, in an interview with the late Georges Pompidou, who was president of France during their 1973 meeting, said, "I am not an educated man. For example, I do not know foreign languages." So the study of foreign languages does have a place in a liberal arts education. It not only opens many fields to students, but it also helps to strengthen a student's native language.

But Mary Krogulski, a junior math major from Pittston, found herself in Juiz de Fora, a small village about a three hour drive from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It all began with Rotary, an organization which sponsors students to study overseas for one year. The pretty coed decided to submit an application, was granted an interview by a panel in Scranton and within a few months found herself on her way to Brazil. Mary was scheduled· to stay with three different host families, spending approximately 12 weeks with each family. During her first few days in Juiz de Fora, which in Portugese means "Outside Judge" Mary sat in classes to observe and adjust to her new surroundings. "Their high school system isn't like ours," she said. "It is a long process of preparation for the vestibular." The vestibular is a test which all students take and . which helps them to prepare for or decide about continuing on to the university. · Mary began studying a varied curriculum consisting of chemistry, math, biology, geography, history and Portugese. "Portugese is studied there in the schools the way English is studied in the schools here," sh_e said. Biggest Selection Best Prices On ~ SURPLUS RECORD and TAPES ,.

The lowest grade, a grade of I, is equivalent to a failur~, while 0, standing for Otimo, is the highest, meaning quality and excellence in work. The major problems of living in a foreign country as an exchange student are language barriers, and becoming accustomed to the food and customs of that nation. "I didn't have as much freedom as I did before I left the United States," she recalled. In Brazil, girls are usually chaperoned on dates by their sister or another member of the family, and not until a girl is engaged is she allowed out unchaperoned." Yet, Mary feels the benefits of such an experience outweigh the problems. "The people were friendly and close. The opportunity of making friends and learning first-hand about the people of another country can be quite a valuable lesson." Mary commented one of her favorite times was the four-day holiday of the carnival. During this Mardi-Gras like festival, the people would sleep all day, but at night dress up in elaborate costumes, drink, eat and form colorful parades in the streets. Each parade was made up of "escola de somba" the people who, in groups, danced in · the parades. The festival lasts until Ash Wednesday. Another custom was to greet a friend when you met them on the street by kissing them on each cheek. This is a symbol of affection and friendship. When the year was up, Mary was content to come back to her home in the United States. In the years since her stay in · Brazil, Mary has kept in contact with some close friends and her host families by writing. Mary and her own family have been a host family to exchange students from several nations in the past also. Students from Brazil, Columbia; Australia, Japan and Sweden, have shared their home. The biggest barriers again prove to be language and homesickness. But each time with help and encouragement from the family they have r Justed through making friends and will always · A valuable memory fr / stay. i �Salvaged Pride Wilkes 14, Juniata 10 mr=:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::====::::::=:====:::::::::::::::::::::::::;=:=:::::::::::======:::::::::::::::::::::====::::::::::::::::::::::::::: i = ~ z 0 ~ 3 er ., ~ ot!~~ ~~ V'~ \ ~ ~~~ ~.~dC'~i~~;; o.__2iii e-- i ~;:~~ - ,0 ..... 0- ....

" f Co-Eds Disappointed In Hockey Tourney By Dotty Martin The Colonelette hockey team hosted the annual Susquehanna Field Hockey Tournament last weekend at Kirby Park. The Blue and Gold team tied three games and lost three. They tied Susquehanna, 0-0; a pick-up team, 0-0; and Bucknell University, 1-1. Losses came to the hands of Bloomsburg, 2-0; Centre County Club, 1-0; ~nd Lock Haven, 3-0. In this tournament, each team receives two points for a win, and one point for a tie. First place went to Bucknell, with 9 points; Bloomsburg State College took second place; and Lock Haven aptured third place. The Wilkes women weren't as I Book And Record Mart I I I 18 S.

There were chances to score in every game; however, the Colonelettes just coul<;ln't get the • ball past their opposing goalie. Jerry Ann Smith stood out among all the hockey players at the tournament. She flicked well, drove well, played her position excellently and had an all-around good tournament. Barb Gorgas also played very well during the entire two-day event. Called to the both sets of trails on Saturday and Sunday for the Susquehanna team were Barb Gorga, Karen Killian, Jerry Ann Smith, Mary Jo Frail, Jean Johnson , and Lee Ann Earl. Commenting on her team's performance in the tournament, Coach Gay Meyers said, " I was disappointed with our lack of scoring - we got frustrated and that made it even harder to score. But I was pleased with having three people named and feel that we had a couple of others who just missed out. In terms of selection to the Susquehanna teams, we are getting more people looked at every year. This shows that Wilkes is getting stronger at this level of play.

(Photo by Bill Walsh ) E-Tottn: 10- Zip Eaton Hushes Twin Defeats By Eddie White The Wilkes College soccer team dropped two matches this week. The Colonels suffered a tough 2-1 overtime defeat at the hands of Delaware Valley. They then went out on Saturday afternoon a nd played a game nobody wants to talk a bout, including Coach Chip Eaton. In the Delaware Valley battle, the Colonels scored first .when junior Tony Apostolaros passed to Mario Apuzzo for the goal at the 5:00 mark of the first half. It was the 5~, 155 pound sophomore's 8th goal of the season, which tops the club. ' The defense played superbly, holding Delaware Valley scoreless until 40 seconds remained in the match. DV scored and the contest went into overtime. Due to darkness, •.he regular two-10 minute overtime periods were cut to 5 minutes each. Delaware tallied the winning goal late in the 2nd OT period. Then came the match no one is talking about. The Blue and Gold were blitzed, 20-0, by a tough Elizabethtown squad. The score does not really tell the story, as the Colonels played the second half with all substitutes. The team, hurt by the sickness of star defensive player Mark Ritter, fell behind, 7-0 at the half. Coach Eaton chose to give the second stringers some playing time. Eaton stated one of the reasons E-Town was so offensively powerful was that, "They play 18 varsity matches , compared to our 12, and their Jay-vee squad is as big as our varsity." He also said Elizabethtown went all out to play their best because "they have a chance for a bid to the Division III playoffs. " At first nobody associated with the soccer team wanted to talk about the defeat. Coach Eaton told The Beacon he didn't want a story on the loss printed. It is hard for coaches, when their team loses a game bad, to face up to the facts and reporters. But, there is a respqnsibility for the coach to supply rep_or.ter.:s with information concerning their team and their team's games. Although Eaton objected to the printing of this story, it is our job at The Beacon to bring the students of Wilkes College news,. good or bad. According to Webster the definition for jo~rnalism is. "the writing ur news." That definition will never change arid The Beacon, as long as it's in existence. will go by that theory. Bob Considine would agree with us . "Potential never wins ba ll games," Colonel defensive coordinator Ed Lukas stated earlier in the year. He was right a nd it has taken the young Wilkes football team almost the entire season to learn that lesson but it does fina lly seem as though it has taken root. Not wishing to be prema ture, but based on last week's gutsy performa nce against highly favored Juniata it a ppears that the Colonels have a r rived. This week's encounter with De laware Valley might not seem important at first glance but to the teams involved it is crucial. Delaware Valley needs a win for obvious reasons. They are 0-7 this season a nd are trying to shake from the depths of a 17 game losing streak. The last time they won was when Dewey beat Truman for the presidency. They have been taking their lumps this campaign under new head coach Al Wilson. He served as assistant coach at Temple and Princeton before coming to Del Val. The Aggies (yes, folks, that's A-G-G-I-E-S) are obviously having trouble adjusting to his new system or suffering from severe lack of experience or any combination thereof. Included in their string of defeats this season are the likes of Moravian, Albright, Lycoming, Upsala, Susquehanna, Juniata, and Norwich. The Aggie offense is centered around two people. If you can stop the Haraka-Kingsbauer connection you have shut down the offense. Ron Haraka is the freshman QJ3 that the Aggies are high on but he has been subject to the mistakes of youth and has thrown quite a few interceptions . But he has also looked very good on occasion showing flashes of brilliance with statistics that are impressive; 124-57-574. His other half is senior co-capta in Scott Kingsba uer. He has good receiving numbers ( 22-226-lTD ) and also has been a big offensive weapon doubling as the Del Val punter and challenging Don McDermott for the MAC punting title. This should provide some excitement as these two go head to head for the top spot. If you can believe it, the Aggies have gained onl.y 330 yards rushing all year out of their Ml!ltiple T offense. It doesn't a ppear as though they have many multiple options a nd if the passing game is contained cha nces for victory are s lim for the Doylestown crew. Unlike the Colonels, the Aggies cannot cover 1 for the offensive weaknesses with a good defense. They have been giving up massive chunks of real estate to the tune of 403.5 yards a game. They have also yielded 27 TD's and 2,825 total yards. They a re very weak against the run despite the presence of co-captain Jim Bowman on the front line. Fitzgerald Gittens helps make the defensive backfield respectable with his 5 interceptions but the defense doesn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of men. The Colonels head into this tilt skyhigh after their inspirational upset of Juniata last week on TV. The Wilkesmen could use a victory this week to help make the winter a little easier to take. · Closing this somewhat bleak campaign with two wins in a row would really help the young Colonels set the stage for next season. Their performance last week can only be described as gutsy. They simply would not quit. They were beaten statistically in virtually every category except the most important one, the final score. The Colonel offense still wasn't that impressive but took advantage of the opportunities afforded them and they scored twice to give the cushion. The first score came on an excellent punt return by David Brace. For the second week in a row he made some offensive noise with his returns. He ran untouched to the 1 before he was forced out of bounds. Bill Slavoski took it over for the score on the next play. The other score came on an excellent drive after a bad punt by Juniata. Slavoski made three 3rd down crucial completions; Paul Wengen over the middle after reading the safety blitz perfectly and hitting Wengen in the spot vacated by the anxious safety; a sideline pattern that Cliff Jones made an incredible diving catch; and finally the TD jump ball to Rob Irwin. It was the "Big D" that won the ball game however . It's ha rd to tell whether Juniata's AllStar quarterback would have made a difference in the ball game because his replacement played very well. The defense yielded quite a bit of yardage but were consistant with the big play and stopped Juniata repeatedly in critical situations. Tony Couto, Chris O'Brien, and Tony Pace were all over the field menacing Indians. It was a n excellent win. The Colonels finally showed the kind of desire it takes to be a winner. E ncore!

Miss Smith was named to the first team of the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association last weekend following the annual tournament. With this achievement, Jerry Ann becomes the first hockey player from Wilkes to ever be named to the first Susquehanna team . Junior Jean Johnson put Wilkes College on the map last year when she was chosen for the second team. A freshman nursing major from Lancaster, Pa., Jerry Ann played four years of field hockey at Conestoga Valley High School before coming to Wilkes. She was named to the center halfback position on the Susquehanna team, one of the strongest positions on a field hockey team. Barb Gorgas, a junior history major from Swarthmore, Pa., was named center forward to the second Susquehanna team. A graduate of Swarthmore High School, Miss Gorgas played hockey for three years there; however, she never played varsity until donning a Colonelette uniform. Another very strong freshman on this year's championship stick team, Mary J o F rail, received honorable mention at last week's tourna ment. A graduate of Meyers High School and a medtech major at Wilkes, Miss Frail has four years of high school hockey experience and plays the right wing position for the Blue and Gold.

Moran has been the PR director and a journalism professor at Wilkes since June, 1970. He is also advisor to The Beacon and to the Journalism Society. Asked the reason for his resignation and acceptance of the new position, Moran cited the opportunity for " a greater challenge." He said he will spend extra hours until the resignation takes effect to draft a proposal that wiH make his departure and the transition to a new PR director as smooth as possible. In his remaining months on the job, Moran will also work to set up the journalism courses and internships for the spring semester in a manner that will not obstruct or adversely effect the students education. Moran submitted his letter of resignation to President Robert S. Capin on Wednesday, November 3. According to Moran, leaving Wilkes will not be easy because he started out here. He received a B.S. in education and English from Wilkes and while still a student, he served as the college's first PR director and Alumni Secretary.

Upon retiring from the Air Force, Aikman decided he wanted to get back into the college atmosphere. Originally born and raised in Iowa, Aikman has always been involved with academics in some aspect. He is not new to college life nor the Wilkes-Barre area. Aikman has called Wilkes-Barre his home for the last 17 years after marrying .a native WilkesBarre resident. Even though Aikman said he has no previous experience with the job of Development Director, he did feel his background with academic and Management Science will help him. He also stated his military career, which allowed him to meet people and travel extensively, will be additional help. Aikman's main concern with the job of Development Director is getting to know the people and economics of the school and community. The post as Development Director is his second career, according to Aikman. "I'm not wearing the same uniform every day," he stated. Aikman also commented there were a lot of similarities between military and civilian lives. "I'm looking forward to the challenge here. I feel development is an integral part of any institution. It's important for the school to have a viable program to tell people who 'we' are and where 'we' are going," Aikman Col. James H. Aikman \ 1• ~~i:~~ A;{!~~~'. he was managing editor of the Wilkes-Barre Independent. In 1953, Moran received the Page One Award from the American Newspaper Guild for feature writing as staff member of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In February of 1970, he was selected as one of 30 U.S. newsmen to be guest of the Israeli Government on a fact-finding tour of Israel. In September of 1970, he was selected as one of six U.S. newsmen to be guests of the South African Government on a 21 day fact-finding tour of South Africa and South West Africa . From 1974 until the appointment of a new development director this semester, Moran also served the college as development director. New Development Director Chosen Col. James H. Aikman, retired from the Air Force, assumed the position of Development Director at Wilkes this week. Aikman served 27 years with the Air Force and was Deputy Commandant and Dean of Academic Affairs for the Defense Information School at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Indiana. The position of Development Director is a renewal of Aikman's relationship with Wilkes College. In J uly, 1972, Col. Aikman started the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC ) unit on the Wilkes College campus. During the last six years of his military service, Aikman has been involved with colleges through ROTC units and the Defense Information School. "I like the college atmosphere," Aikman commented. Aikman received · his B.S. degree in Math fr om the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and his Master's degree in Systems Management from the University of Southern California. Aikman's military career has taken him all over the globe. He has served at the Pentagon, and overseas plus Korea and Vietnam, has flown over 5,000 houri: November 4, 1976 said. He believes the success of a product, such as Wilkes College, is having confidence in that product. Aikman does not think his job will be less active than his military career and his traveling all over the globe. "This job will involve traveling, visiting corporations and foundations, that are friends of Wilkes College," he noted. Aikman wants to . reestablish contact with firms and industries , which once contributed money to the College, but have not done so in the past years. Aikman also feels the job as Development Director will not be monotonous. "What you put into it is what you get out of it," he commented. "You've got to get out and see people. I intend to be as busy, if not busier than in the service." The new job is a transition for Aikman, from a commanding position to one in which he is under the leadership of President Capin and the Board of Trustees. "I like Wilkes, the area, the people and I hope I can make a contribution to its livelihood. I'll do my best and let the cards fall where they may," Aikman stated. ·. Thomas J. Moran CC Rap Session · Ignites Spark In Council Reps The Commuter Council meeting last Thursday was marked by a large attendance and heated discussion concerning the enthusiasm of the council. Vice President Barry Pezzner attempted to make the council members aware of its lack of effort to involve themselves in council projects. The criticism resulted in the creation of a committee to coordinate a smorgasbord that will be held next semester in conjunction with IDC. The Christmas party to be sponsored in conjunction with IDC will be held at Gus Genetti's on Sunday, December 12. Arrangements were finalized this week by CC. Pezzner also reprimanded The Beacon for its constant criticism of CC. He noted that neither SG nor IDC had Homecoming displays while CC did. He added that there was no IDC representative at the meeting. A lack of communication was determin~d a major problem with the council. President Dave Chernundolo promised that a list of members' names, addresses, and telephone numbers would be distributed at the meeting. It was announced that the council's absentee policy wou~d be rigidly enforted in the future. The possibility of providing a shuttlebus service from Ralston field for parking there was also discussed . A survey of the Commons will take place, but no definite time was set. Nominations for freshman representat ives will be held today at noon in SLC 101. Chernundolo requested notices be posted. �Need For Liberal Art~ Seen N GI Ir.

"I was extremely pleased and honored to receive the certification," Abate remarked. "It is a distinctive honor and it is · very gratifying to have been selected." To receive certification as a purchasing manager, which is similar to an accountant receiving certification in the accounting profession, an applicant must score at least a combined total of 70 points in academic, achievement, experience, testing, and contributions · to the purchasing profession. Abate earned 113 points. The National Association of Purchasing Management, a national organization, began offering certification to qualified purchasing managers in October of 1974. As of May, 1976, . there were approximately 4,000 CPM's in the United States. There are presently nine in the ScrantonWilkes-Barre-Hazleton area. Abate has been at Wilkes for 10 years : His duties include supervising the bookstore, purchasing insurance, and overseeing maintenance. He also teaches Accounting 101 in the evening.

In addition to his career at Wilkes, Abate is a member of the American Purchasing Society, the National Association of College Auxiliary Services, the Eastern Association of College and Business Officers, and a past member of · the National Association of Accountants. A former resident of Pittston, the business-purchasing manager currently resides with his wife, Lois, and four sons in south Wilkes-Barre. A presentation will be made to the new CPM at the next meeting of the National Association of Purchasing Management in Wilkes-Barre. "Before you can makl' llll'n doctol's and lawyt•rs you must first make them mt•n ... These were the words of John Stuart. Mill over a century ago. However. in the past ckcade. national statistics cite that more college students an• pursuing marketable trades to gain employment in today ·s careeroriented society . The question of whether a liberal arts education is of any value in a career-oriented society has given rise to a flurry of varied opinion in recent years. It has been argued that in today's fast-paced world one day 's desperate need for physicians may be filled tomorrow. Specialized fields are being filled and overflowed as fast as the snap of a finger . Therefore, it is obvious that the liberal arts education is not a thing of the past, and is necessary to redirect . the overflow of specialists. The Wilkes Admissions Office reported a current upsurge of admissions close to 30 percent, in science and specialty majors m recent years. This percentage is congruent with - national averages. At Wilkes, however, technicians, chemists, nurses, and journalists all are united under a general liberal arts curriculum. "Wilkes attempts to give all students a foundation in liberal education, enabling students to grow in all fields of education" commented Dr. Richard P. Soter, academic dean of the college. Soter went on to say that "courses in the sciences are just as liberating as courses in the humanities, and that ' 1a course in genetics, learning about the science of creation, can not be classified as purely scientific in nature." According to English Professor Leonard Powlick, who was By Patti Reilly speaking about his field, "Majors tell science majors they can't understand the world unless they read Shakespeare, but have they read Einstein?" Both fields of study are relevant to today's wo1ld. Wilkes has maintained its philosophy of a liberal education since its inception in 1946. Wilkes' curriculum, as compared to that of some prestigious liberal arts pace-setting schools, went out of style some years ago. It has recently come back into the height of fashion. The key to a working liberal arts program, in the words of Soter, "is having a faculty vibrant in their fields." This enables the faculty the opportunity of forecasting em- . ployment trends and better helping students adjust their plans in accordance with these trends . ..::~ · Next - semester at Wilkes promises an all-out push in the fields of written and oral communication. The academic dean stated, "The first priority will be a study of the writing laboratory, and the second will be the addition of a communications major; which will encompass broadcasting work." The New York Times in a story, "The Concept of General Education", stated, "The trend toward liberal arts education is reflective of the new academic seriousness that has charac- · terized students in the past few years." It also reflects dissatisfaction with the narrowness of fields, resulting from eased requirements. There appears to be a renewed willingness of faculty to assert academic authority. Colleges throughout the nation are instituting curriculum chan ges, whereby students are required to take a specific amount of foundation courses. The ineptness of secondary schools in the emphasis of basic skills for college-bound students has been cited as a cause for concern. Newsweek magazine stated, "The level of instruction in secondary schools needs improvement in order that students are prepared for the responsibilities of a liberal arts education. " "To whatever end the ultimate value of liberal education is decided it has proven to provide students with sound values and good foundations," Soter explained. "Surely the liberal arts eduation plays an important role in a career-oriented society that need graduates with a background in the art of "survival of the fittest." Annual .Tax Clinic ·To Be Held Tomorrow The 23rd Annual Tax Clinic, an all-day program qf lecture and discussions, organized for tax practitioners of Northeastern Pennsylvania, will be held tomorrow in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts.

IDC No Help F~o~ CC A review of · the IDC-CC Halloween Party was given by Kim Witherow at the me meeting Sunday night. Sbe reported that the party was considered a success but that Commuter Council gave no help no help or any cooperation. Fifteen tickets were sold by Commuter Council members out of .the total of 260 sold. No CC members helped prepare the refreshments or decorate and clean up the gym: Witherow also mentioned that it was questionable whether the Christmas party would involve Commuter Council as planned. Under Old Business, one representative reported that protective screens have not been put up on Barre Hall. She also reported that the only screens installed were to the windows in the room of Gina ()'Brien, Student Government president. 271 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston Joe Marchetti, housing director, said that maintenance had put up all the screens and told the representative to check on it again. A motion to charge five dollars a semester for a dormitory parking sticker was defeated 11 to 10. Al France, IDC vice president, said that applications for the spring semester will be available after Thanksgiving. France also reported that so far this semester there have been 560 dormitory parking lot violations. President Bruce Lear reported that Mr. Abate termed the question of falling ceilings on stereos as a "gray area." Most likely the students Home Owner's Insurance would pay for the damages. Lear went on to say though, that Abate really would not give an answer as to whether Wilkes is responsible for those kind of damages or not.'

For 'Aspiring MetLStudents i Environment, which two years · ag o began the process of acquiring Whirlpool Canyon (the tubs ) to save and protect it as a nature preserve, has been joined in that effort by a coalition of l OCal en Vi r On me nt al organizations. The tubs are located about five miles from 'campus off Route 115. According to Dr . Br uce F. Berryman, acting chairman of the envir onmental sciences depar tment , the tubs are ge ological formations which were created by a glacier nearly 10,000 years ago. As a glacier melts, Berryman explained, it results in a stream so forceful it can carry boulders. · Somet1IDes one of those boulders will get stuck and as the water flows around it, it spins and dril~s itself into the bottom of the spring. Thus, a tub-shaped hole is created. The Whirlpool Canyon · has seven such tubs with an average size of 10 feet indiametel"'and 15 feet deep. " What makes them unique," said Berryman, "is that we don't know of any others in the area." "The area has always · been very popular with local residents, especially as a swimming hole," Berryman said. "In recent years, however, the area has been degraded by after hours activities. It has become a dumping ground because of unconcerned individuals in the area who have dumped such heavy litter as refrigerators and washing machines. Writing on rocks and using the area for target practice has also become popular." " It seems as though it's about · to save 1·t to be los t . We are t rymg while we can."

Twelve organizations, including the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the N~ture Conservancy, have banded__together in the coalition. According to Berryman, "The decision has been made that the best way to preserve it is to make it a county park. The land will be bought by the coalition and then given to the county, which will then be in charge of maintaining it." Aslrnd why the county will not help to purchase the land, Berryman said "the county does not have the money." The 375 acres of land will cost $122,000. The coalition is in the process of drafting a proposal requesting a state grant to cover exactly one half of all costs. "The other half," said Berryman,"will be a combined effort of donators of both land and money." The area, sa1'd Berryman; w1·11 be a nature preserve and not a park. " It will not be commercialized. There will be no camping, no boathouses, no· concession stands." Also, it will not be totally closed to the public. It is planned as a limited access area with nature tracks where hiking, backpacking, a nd pienickingwill be allowed. There will also be a pavilion which can be used as an outdoor classroom. It will be complete with black- . boards and an area to show slides. People will also still be allowed to swim in the tubs. Berryman explained the area is being preserved so "those people who want to go there and use it wisely will be allowed to do so." The actual date for completion and opening of the nature preserve is unknown. " It all depends on exactly what th e state does with our proposal and what happens with the current negotiations · with th e landown·eJrs_ ;, The soonest possible time for the opening of the nature preserve, Berryman estimated, would be the summer of 1978 - •.Although many students enter t he Wi lk es - H ahne ma n n cooperative medical education all those who entered the program as freshmen and is keeping track of their program in family medicine, only Whereabouts .

Many students, who had hoped to receive a Doctor of Medicine degree at the end of the six-year period are unable to continue in the program. But these students are not ignored or forgotten at Wilkes.

If we have 40 fully qualified students, and can only take 25, there will be disappointments," he said. Presently, 65 Wilkes students are studying at Hahnemann under the six-year program .- 17 from the · ·first class in the program .; 23 from the second ; and 25 from the third.

The proposal has rec~ived approval from some departments, but the faculty must vote on it as an official college policy. The proposal is being submitted by Academic Committee Chairman Carl Holsberger, who will attend the faculty meeting to defend it. A rough draft of a proposal offering immunity from taking final examinations was also read at the SG meeting. At present the proposal reads essentially that students with an A or a B average, confirmed by the instructor, may elect not to take the final examination. Moods In Leather F YE .BOOTS ~ • a S.

The continually u Ill CIJ fascinating democratic process demonstrated that the Ill American populace is unpredictable. What had been expected CIJ r; to be a poor turn-out at the polls, proved to be better than exIpected. Local polls heralded approximately 20% higher turnouts than were expected. The media seemed to hold the reins of an election victory. Both candidates had their lives intricately delved into, and at one time or another their faces were seen speared over national magazine covers. The only thing that seemed to be withheld about Carter's private life was what type of tooth paste he uses, and even that may be disclosed before his inauguration. It is estimated that only about one-tenth of the population had the opportunity to meet either candidate personally, although the candidates' hectic schedules ·kept them breathless in the past few months. The final decision therefore was left to the image tl\e media sold. Both candidates shied away from the previously used \\) Madison Avenue advertising techniques, and . sold their business to small independent agencies.

But Lee Thomas from Easton, Pennsylvania just keeps riding on to his destination on what appears to be half a bike, but what is in fact a unicycle. "I always take it down to Parrish," he said, "You just bring it in with you and set it somewhere.'' "You really don't have to worry about someone stealing it. If they ever become as popular as say IO-speed bikes, maybe. But if anyone takes mine, everybody else knows whose it is since there isn't another around." Lee first became interested in the art of unicycle riding during his junior year at Easton High School. He picked up a pa_tt-time job as a stage hand in the Lion's Circus. His jobs included being the electrical assistant, setting up the trampolines and trapezes, and the duty most relevant to his riding ability, assisting the clowns. Between acts Lee would pester the clowns for a lesson on the unicycle. "They would just beg me not to hurt myself by falling off or not to break it." His interest became so intense that with his first paycheck from the circus Lee went out and bought his own unicycle. Back in Easton High School, Lee was mainly interested in art. His art teacher, Richard Fox, designed the costumes for the circus. That's how he got involved with the traveling entertainers. But what brought Lee to Wilkes? "The same art teacher is the designer for the sets for the Wilkes Summer Theater Workshop. I participated in that for two summers." This is how Lee became interested in theater, .especially the design segment, and also how he found Wilkes as his school. In high school, with the help of his art teacher, the EnglishTheater Arts major designed the V, JOKE OF THE WEEK: (This is dedicated to all the dedicated Bio majors.)

Sociology -Deportment Expanding With New Course And Seminar The Sociology and Anthropology Department is expanding its course offerings for the spring semester with two topics courses, a seminar, and two new courses. Both topics courses, "Cultural Ecology" and "Sociology of Poverty," will be offered in the evening session. The first is listed as an anthropology course, the second under the sociology heading. "Cultural Ecology" will emphasize the ways in which people throughout the world have adapted to their natural and social environments through ·their cultur.e.. "Sociology of Poverty," which is open to all students, is designed to provide students with an understanding of the demographic facts about poverty, to analyze.its role in American society, and to examine proposals for its elimination. "Social Dimensions of Human Sexuality" (Soc. 397A) is the seminar which will be offered. General topics include social correlates of sexual behavior, socialization patterns, sex in the mass media, sex and the law, sexual deviance and social control of sexual behavior. (Students who have not taken both Soc 101 and Anth 101 should consult with the instructor. Roy Martin, before registering.) · Two new courses, "Linguistic Anthropology" (Anth 272) and "Medical and Psychiatric An-, thropology" (Anth 300) will be initiated next semester. The first deals with the structural and historical properties of human language, and the study of the relationship between language, culture and perception. The second is a study of physical and mental health treatment from a cross-cultural perspective, including the role of culture in defining healthrelated categories. -f =r ~ Cll ~ Ill n 0 ::s �Debate Union Invited To Clemson Contest ..., GI g, Ill 0. ......, 0- .; L.

' Wilkes Debate Union, directed by Dr. Bradford Kinney, to take part in the Twenty-Sixth Annual National Public Discussion Contest being sponsored by Clemson. Wilkes will be competing against the top powers in college and university forensics. The Clemson tournament is unique in a number of ways. First of all, the competition is a discussion, not a debate. Also, the national debate topic is not used. This year the topic to be discussed is: What changes, if any, should be made in the legal definition of death? The tournament is also unique in that it is conducted entirely -through the use of tape recordings. This means that schools will not have to travel to Clemson to compete. Eliminating the costly travel expenses makes it possible for all top schools to enter the tournament without seriously depleting their debate budget. According to the rules of the contest, each school can enter a four or five person unit in the discussion. Each unit will record a 30 minute discussion. on the topic which will then be forwarded to Clemson for evaluation by a judging panel. This panel will consist -of some of the nation's top educators fn the fields of speech, discussion, and small group communication. Once judged by the panel, the best tapes will be entered in the semi-final competition. The winners of the semi-final round will then compete in a national final round to be held in conjunction with the Southern Speech Communication Association convention. The finals will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee, next April. Past winners of the tournament have included such schools as Bradley University, Los Angeles State College, Northern Arizona University, University . of Southern California, · Kent State University, and Wisconsin State University, at both Eau Claire and Lacrosse. This marks the first time Wilkes has been invited to participate in a tournament such as this. According to Dr. Kinney, this means Wilkes College is finally gaining the due recognition of other senior colleges and universities as a major force in debate-forensic communication competition.

Hotel Sterling forfeited to New Riders after they heard about the beating the Riders gave Slocum on Monday of last week. Another excuse used by the Hotel was they couldn't find Ralston Field or was it they wouldn't find Ralston Field. · The other forfeiture came on Tuesday when Dirksen didn't show for their game with Denison. Rumor has it that the Dirksen team had just finished cleaning their spikes before the game and were saving them for the team picture. In the games that we~ played last week, the New Riders stormed over a much weaker Slocum squad 52-0. Bill Manly, the Slocum QJ3 , was interviewed after the game and he stated, "We just had a few bad plays and ii few bad breaks but all in all I thought we played well." It looks as though Slocum misses the powerful running of Nick Holgash in their lineup. In this game the New Riders were awesome on offense. Andy Kresky did a fine job of running the offense and was helped out by Tom Maclntrye, who scored three TD's, and split end Larry Conner, who scored on a touchdown pass from Kresky. In another game, Diaz was defeated by the Chickenhawk squad 12-0. The victors scored early in the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. Diaz brought in some 'ringers' on the defensive line but were still thwarted by the persistent Chickenhawks. The big game for the Chicken hawks will be next_week when they meet STX. The big upset of the week came when Denison lost a close one to Roosevelt House this past Monday. Denison scored first in this contest on a run by Bruce Douglas from five yards out. The extra point was missed by Denison. Roosevelt came back and scored on a ten yard run by Chip Pufko and added two points when Tony D. caught the extra point try in the end zone. · · - " ·• : · - ·· - The winning score came on a freak play in the second half when a pass from center was bobbled by QJ3 Dave Orischak and intercepted by Frank Forte who took it in for the score. Denison scored late in the game on a pass to Kevin Roland, who made a tremendous catcli for the score. Denison's try for two points failed and the game ended with the score 14-12. This is the first game Denison has lost in two years and their only chance for a playoff berth is to defeat the Wild Bunch in a game next week.

Now the bad news: they have another game this week. Amazingly enough after their performance last week against Susquehanna in the Stagg Bowl, the Colonels have another shot at a bowl. It seems somewhat inappropriate but nonetheless true. This week's contest versus Juniata College, along with being televised, will be competition for the sixth annual Anthracite Bo~l. The Bowl is sponsored by the Shawnee Post 463 of Plymouth and is designated as the final home game of the season. The Colonels have won the Bowl every time they have played in it but this time our troopers will be decided underdogs. Juniata is a good football team. They have a 6-2 record but in reality are only three points away from an undefeated season. Losses to Albright by 2 points and Lycoming by 1 have blemished the Indians' slate. Thetr victories have come · at the expense of Indiana State, 38-21; Westminister, 14-7; ·Gettysburg, 20-3; Susquehanna, 20-6; Upsala, 10--0; and Delaware Valley, 20-6. The Indian offense suffered a big blow last week when All-Star quarterback Dave Wichrowski was injured. That injury coupled with the knee injury of their top all purpose back Allen Lipstein two weeks ago will cripple tJ.le Indian attack considerably. Lipstein ·was the Juniata leader in rushing, receiving, and scoring before he was shelved. Taking over the quarterbacking reigns will be untested freshman Wayne Emerick. He had been playing on the J.V. team and has not thrown a pass in varsity competition yet. If there is a weak spot to be explored, this has to be it. The Indians operate out of a Multiple I offense and are a remarkably balanced.team. With the injury .to Lipstein they have turned to two sophomores who have really done a job on the ground. DeWayne Rideout (102426) and Gary Lyter (90-381) are the gentlemen who have helped them rack up 1451 yards on the ground, only about 1,000 more than the Colonels have been able to accumulate. Wichrowski has thrown for over 1,000 yards with his leading receivers being Ed Flynn (20-307-2TD) and Tom Gibboney 04-3192TD). However With Emerick starting his first collegiate game, this should be a key to the victory. The Juniata defense is rather stingy. ·The Oklahoma 5-2 is led by Stu Jackson (MG) and Joe Weimer (DE), both tri-captains. The stalwart in the defensive backfield is Bob Devine who has 7 in; terceptions this season and 10 in his career. They have been giving up only 237 yards per game a nd are extremely strong against the run. Now the Colonels did something last week that not too many teams have been able to do. They made Susquehanna look good, and that's not easy. The Crusaders didn't even have to use secret weapon Wayne Lupole. The only offense the Colonels could muster against the porous SU defense was a 48 yard punt return for a TD by David Brace and the only reason he scored was because the officials didn't see a blatant clip against Wilkes that freed Brace along the sideline. That's not exactly what you would call potent. Good news : the Colonel quarterbacks threw two touchdown passes. Bad news : they were both TD's for SU as the interceptions were both returned all the way. The Wilkes rushing game is so ineffective that if they were given the ball five straight times, they would still be faced with a sixth and one situation, averaging only 1.8 yards per try. Another significant statistic is that the Colonels have run 24 more plays then their opponents and still have accumulated 400 yards less than the opposition. The Colonel defense played relatively well except for two plays ~a 78 yard run from scrimmage for a TD and a 28 yard pass for a TD that was the only pass SU completed all day. The offense gave up more points than the defense did. Unless the Colonels can find some way to score, it is going to be another long afternoon on the Ralston Field gridiron. Maybe i£ the defense stays on the field constantly they can score more than the offense, at least they won't give up as many as the offense gives up. So when Juniata scores, we should kick the ball back to them and ...

" The team is now optimistically looking forward to the Middle Atlantic Conference Tennis Tournament which will be held during the spring semester. Already they have begun to sell candy apples to raise money to purchase time on indoor courts during the winter months.

After Hectic Month By Wilma Hurst \.: Over 2,000 attended the inauguration of Rober t S. Capin as third president of Wilkes, Sunday afternoon in the gymnasium. Sr. Jane Scully, president of Carlow College, was the principle speaker. The ceremony was conducted by Attorney Joseph Savitz, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Shown above are Attorney Joseph Savitz, President Robert S. -Capin, and Dr. Richard Soter, Dean of Academic Affairs. Robert S. Capinlnaugurated In the presence of family , friends, Wilkes' trustees, faculty, students and representatives from over 130 of the nation's college and universities, Robert S. Capin was designated chief executive officer and inaugurated as third president of Wilkes College this past Sunday, October 24. Conducting the ceremonies , Chairman of the Board _of Trustees Joseph Savitz said to President Capin, " we know you will bear this high office with dignity, fairness and loving care. " In his remarks, Capin said, "I feel very humble. " By assuming "a very important place in the history of Wilkes," Capin said he felt " an aura of respectful disbelief." "Each of us has a dream of being in an important place of :~~i~~~ar;~~;~~~i.~~he:~~fin:!~~ ".I am one of the very fortunate whose dream has come true." Noting he has been associated with the college for most of his adult life, Capin commented, "when I first began as a student, little did I realize there was no escape." Recognizing the " awesome challenges and responsibilities" of his office, Capin called for a "rebirth of positive thinking" in all members of the Wilkes family . "We need a positive attitude with no room for failure ." By combining a regard for the past, an awareness of the present, and a dream and ~ pattern for the future, Capin said he will work harder to solve current problems and to preserve the idea of a liberal arts education and " rapidly declining art of communication:" In conclusion, he said "we must rededicate ourselves to the community and ask the community to come look us over in the mid-seventies." Sr. Jane Scully, president of Carlow College and principle speaker for the affair, also spoke on the idea of community "in her address and said of Ca pin, "if he helps with community, he has done more than anyone else. " She added that Capin was "a man well prepared to take over the responsibilities of the office ." Speaking of institutions and companies where students will go to work, Sr. Jane said "students should find a community there that receives and respects them." She added that colleges work hard enough to provide jobs, but not hard enough to make " the places where our students go more worthy of our students." According to Sr. Jane, those places want the students from schools like Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. "But," she said, "I get enough of that and I say what about the students from schools like Carlow and Wilkes. They are putting out bright and worthy students and those companies need them." Congressman Daniel J . Flood also took part in the proceedings. He congratulated Capin on becoming the newest link in .the "chain of office now being developed." Citing Capin's rise from the student body through the faculty and administration to the presidency , Flood called Capin a "true representative of the American success story." Gina O'Brien, president of student government, said that to do any job right ~'you have to have fun doing it." Speaking to Capin, she said, "You've always looked as if you were having fun and I hope you continue to do so." Dr. Charles Reif, speaking as a faculty representative, expressed " the pride, loyalty and aspirations of the faculty " for the new president. Although no "dramatic He also commented that the changes" have been made in the college has reviewed the " quality college security system, the and calibre of the secur ity general situation, not serious people, and has found that they initially, apparently has imare meeting the rules and proved in the last month. guidelines set up by the college."

These are the words of Art Speelman, project manager· for Columbus Services International, the college's professional maintenance firm . Since complaints were voiced a few weeks ago about the maintenance · situation, considerable pi:ogress has been, made in tackling the backlog of work orders. Work had continued at a steady pace until last weekend, when because of Homeco~ing and the numerous other events th::it occurred, a new pile of orders was submitted. These orders however, are minor in size, c0nsisting mostly of postweekend clean-up. Speelman stated he hoped "to have the backup taken care of by _Wednesday." Already quite a few corrections and adjustments have been made internally, dealing with , me chanical and equipment ~f repairs . " Maintenance," said By Mary Stencavage Speelman, " is not only fixing a lock, it's repairing the machinery used to run a complex." One of the priorities at the top of the list at this time are the roofs of several dorms, where water from severe rainstorms has leaked through to the ceilings. Temporary repairs have been made.

Activities began last Thursday with a bonfire which despite the cold weather, attracted a small. l-iut enthusiastic crowd. Various dorm students and club members combined their time and talent to decorate the campus with Homecoming displays which not only dressedup the campus but which also helped to spark the spirits of alumni and students. A successful undergraduate dinner-dance at the Treadway Inn, a disappointing football game against Albright, and memorable halftime ceremonies at the game.managed to keep all participants busy. At the halftime ceremonies of the football game, Patti Fitchner was crowned queen and she, along with Patti Reilly and Mary Kay Mally (princesses) receivecgifts from the student organizations and the classes. Awards were also given to the winning Homecoming display. The dedication of the Dr. Arnaud C. Marts Courtyard, the memorial service for two veteran members of the Alumni Association who passed away Juring the· year (Anita Janench and Reese Jones), and the inaugural dance at the Hotel Sterling were just a few of the many activities which made Saturday one of the most active pays in the college's history. A special touch was added to the weekend with Sunday 's inauguration of Robert Capin as the third president of Wilkes, Throngs of students, alumni, faculty, administration, anc! friends of the college witnessed the ceremony. 113 S.

Aft~r T-wenty Years In ·Ar111y, Fiske Enrolls As Fresh111an _ Imagine this - you've just completed 20 years service with the United States Army, you're married and have five children, you've moved back to the town where you were born and raised, and you're enrolled as a freshman at a local college! Sound far-fetched? Maybe to most people it does, but to Sterling A. Fiske this lifestyle has become a reality, Fiske was officially discharged from the Army as a chief warrant officer on August. 31 of this year. He, along with his wife and four of their children, returned to West Pittston from where he is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Wilkes College. When asked what made him decide to go to college, Sterling, who still wears his hair short as he did in the Army, said, "Oh, I was a lousy student in high school and when I got out of the Army, I just decided maybe I should go to college and try to better myself. " And so he has. He goes to school Monday through Friday and is carrying 12 credits.

In another matter related to security - the recent bomb scares - Shaw reported that a student was apprehended, the col!ege took appropriate legal action, and the person " has been dealt with." Although Shaw said he was not at liberty to discuss how the person · was apprehended, he noted that the college is able to deal with situations of this kind, College personnel are instructed ( and now experienced) in the procedure to follow when a threat is made. The safety of students and staff is the first priority, but there are also adequate provisions for identification of the person making the threat. The student responsible for at least one of the threats was apprehended after the fourth call was made. However; three more calls followed. Shaw observed that the college narrowly missed identifying that person, perhaps "by as little as two seconds," "The college considers this a very serious matter," he said, "and we will always be prepared to take firm legal action, " have to have in order to get through.

"I decided to join the Army, find myself, and go on from there." Fiske rose to the rank of chief warrant officer, which he described as a "specialist in a certain field without any com mand responsibilities." At this job, he was in charge of the assembling of the missiles, checking the electrical system, making the warheads, putting the missile on the booster, and the frequent checking of the whole operation. He had approximately 18 people working under -him in the maintenance end of the job and about 70 people under him in the actual launching of the missile.

CD QJ Few students have the opportunity to "go behind the 0 ti scenes·" cHld talk with many pf th~ administrators and faculty 0 members on campus. However, The Beacon and a few other C 0 student organizations do have that opportunity. We have u ro talked with members of the college family on all levels , and QJ Ill have found in them a genuine concern for this institution, QJ .c .... coupled ·with a spirit of dedication and determination . It's true that not all s uch people deserve this compliment; there are individuals who have little concern for either the college or the students. But fortunately they are an obvious minority. We feel we can hon~stly say that the majority of the people professionally involved with Wilkes take pride in what they are doing. More importantly, they do their jobs to the best of their ability for the benefit Gf both the college and the student body. To some, this statement may seem to be undeserved praise, for they may point to the problems and deficiencies on campus and ask how anyone can see them and still allow them to continue. One thing we have learned through our experiences with administrators is that there really is no such thing as an easy solution. Almost every problem is muti-faceted, and the solution usually looks like a hopeless maze, filled with many dead ends. But despite this, these people don't give up , and contrary to popular belief, they do not ignore the problems. Furthermore, they are willing to listen to complaints and suggestions from all segments of the campus. This approachability and openess are perhaps the two most important aspects of our administration. The inauguration of President Capin marks the beginning of a new chapter in the college's history and assures the continuation of an open administration. Capin has now formalfy accepted the challenge and responsibility of constantly striving to improve the quality of this institution. He and the rest of the college family have worked and will a lways work to meet that challenge. Inevitably, sometimes they will fail, but more often they will not. J:l Apathy Rumors Refuted By Spirited Weekend This past weekend marked some important events in the history of Wilkes College. The All-College assembly proved to be a successful tribute to people who have dedicated large portions of their lives to Wilkes. The student participation was im~ pressive and made the event meaningful. The student attendance also refuted ' rumors that students "don't care anymore." Over 500 people attended the underclassmen dinner-dance Friday night, and all appeared to have a good time. Dinner dance tickets were at a premium for several days prior to the event, and last minute planners had to practically "beg, borrow and steal" to get a ticket to the event. The turnout at the football game was somewhat disappointing. It wasn't that many years ago that the stands were packed with spectators for the homecoming football game, but the tide seems to have changed. There were more players on the field than spectators in the benches. The mystique and excitement of the homecoming football game activities seems to have vanished, but perhaps this is not the fault of the students. The game received very little promotion, as did the half-time activities. · The inauguration was met with Sunday drizzle but the event went on as planned, with not so m uch as a n obvious hitch. The pom p and circumstance of the event was executed beautifully. Sister Jane Scully proved to be an extraordinary speaker. The inauguration .had the potential of being a very long dtawn out affair but was kept short and to the point. The weekend is over a·nd all must return to their everyday routine for the rest of the semester. The administration, faculty and students deserve much credit for their participation and enthusiasm during the weekend's countless happenings. Few institutions can boast such fellowship and dedication in all levels of a college family . To The Editor: In regard to the articles in the September 16 issue of The Beacon concerning Commuter Council. First of all on Thursday, September 9, all campus clubs were set up on Kirby lawn to encourage freshman participation, and most likely all members of these clubs were asked to help sign people up. I admit it was untimely for C.C. to have a meeting at this time but we on C.C. are only human and as The Beacon knows "To err is human." I would like to attend a few Beacon meetings, held 'when other campus activities are taking place, and see if Beacon attendance would be up to par. I would like to pose a question to whoeve r is the Beacon 's Representative to C.C. - Where were you on September 16 at eleven o'clock, while a quite full C.C. meeting was taking place in Kirby 102? We got a lot accomplished. Too bad you were not there to report on our accomplishments. Commuter Council needs no " resusciating" but Wilkes College does need a newspaper that is not so fast to criticize Campus Organizations. We need a newspaper that will aid the better ment of Campus Organizations. Is The Bea con "willing to r oll up its sleeves, sweat a little," have a representative at All meetings and not judge the worth of a Campus Or ganizations on the basis of 1 meeting? C.C.

I �Gore Resident Becomes Pilot Of Unidentified Flying Object By Janine Pokrinchak I Unidentified fl ying objects (UFO) bring to mind many doubts about their origins. People in the Wilkes College area may be thinking the Wyoming Valley is being visited by men from outer space after seeing UFO's sailing around the campus. Whether some of the UFO's are real can not be determined, but a Gore Hall 'resident can explain the origin of most of the UFO's. Gary Toczylowski , a so phom or e Env i ronm en tal Science major from Scranton, learned in high school how to make a hot air balloon, which some say resembles a UFO. Toczylowski's balloon is made of a cleaner's bag, bir thday candles and straws. " It gives you a thrill just seeing the thing float around, " commented the Gore resident. "Everyone is mystified by it. " Toczylowski mentioned tlYI hot air balloon was a good stunt at parties and large crowd gatherings. The cleaner's bag is closed and filled with hot air from a candle burning underneath it . Four straws are doubled over to form a cross, which is attached to the bottom of the bag. Holes are burned into the straws with a cigarette and 16 birthday candles are placed in the holes. When the bag starts to rise, the birthday candles are lit. The floating time is approximately 15 minutes, a ccording to Toczylowski. Thefar thestdistance one ofthe balloons has gone in the Wyoming Valley is to City Beverage, which is about two miles from the college campus. Toczylowski said the best time for flying his hot air balloons is on a clear cold night with no wind. One of Toczylowski's balloons landed on the Jewish Community Center roof. Before he could climb up the roof and retrieve the balloon, it flew away and landed in King 's College parking lot. In ~igh school, Toczylowski said one balloon came down in the center of a McDonald's parking lot, which was crowded with people. One of Toczylowski's friends went over and picked the balloon up , put it in his pocketand walked away. Toczylowski said the crowd was completely mystified. · Toczylowski stated the hardest material to find for the balloon was the cleaner's bag. " Usually, guys don' t have too many cleaner 's bags, With guys in my dorm who did have bags, we used theirs all up." Also, Toczylowski commented it is hard to find cleaner's bags without too many holes. He did mention the cleaner 's bags worked the best since they are lighter than garbage and other plastic bags.

C:olonel ettes Prep F_ o r Tourney W ith Twin Victories;Still Unbeaten In NPWIAA Competition By Dotty Martin The women's field hockey team enjoyed a good week as they travelled twice and came home with as many wins. The girls defeated Drew University, 4-0, and Susquehanna University, 2-0. Against Drew, sophomore Karen Killian went one-on-one with the opponent's goalie and scored on a fa&t break with 19 minutes left in the first half. On an assist from Mary Jo Frail, freshman Jerry Ann Smith scored the second Wilkes goal with only 30 seconds remaining in the first half. With 33 minutes remaining in the second half, senior co-captain Penny Bianconi went one-on-one with the Drew goalie and, with a beautifully hard shot to the left hand corner of the goal cage, scored the third Blue and Gold goal. The fimrth and final goal for tqe victors came when Ronna Colvin scored from a cross goal shot sent by Mary Jo Frail. Coach Gay Meyers switched her strategy from a 4-2-3-1 system back to a more traditional five-man attacking line for this game. She explained her move, "We were lacking scoring punch against the big teams so I decided to switch back to the five-man system. It meant changing some positions around, however, it should not only give us more scoring power but also keep us · from being ·beaten with a fast break on defense." Penny Bianconi had the best day of the year on attack. Penny played a key role in setting up the attack and was always in the right position to back up her teammates and send the ball into scoring position. Barb Gorgas also played an excellent offensive game. Freshman goalie Lee Ann Earl had six saves. Two of these were key saves in that they were good stops to preserve the shut-out. Wilkes shot 46 times at goal compared to 10 shots for Drew. , Going scoreless for the entire first half, the WilkesSusquehanna contest was brought to life by Mary Jo Frail who scored the first Blue and Gold goal with 20 minutes remaining in the game. Senior cocaptain Sue A_nn Knight sent a beautiful cross pass to her teammate and Mary Jo had no trouble getting the ball into the cage.

No championships were won. No athlete was named AllAmerican. No recrod was broken. · The significant event was in the form of a ceremony in the lobby of the Wilkes gymnasium. It was in the lobbv that the Wilkes Athletic Department received a check in the sum of ·$3 ,000 for the purchase of training room equipment, a sorely needed commodity in Colonel athletics. The Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club, the very active local service club, donated the check in an effort to upgrade the athletic health facilities at the college. The club was informed of the need through the cooperative efforts of Wilkes Head Trainer Mike Aed and his student assistant Dave Berman. The check will be used by trainer Aed to outfit the newly constructed training room in the Wilkes gymnasium on South Franklin St. Among the equipment ordered are whirlpool, ultra sound machine, and knee rehabilitation machine, stretcher, and other miscellaneous training room equipment. "The addition of this equipment will make our training facilities at Wilkes on par with any small college in the East. It was a much needed and much appreciated donation by the Kiwanis Club," stated Aed Mike has done a tremendous job in taking over the Wilkes training program. when Karen Killian scored on an assist from Jerry Ann Smith. .The Wilkes defense proved to be a very crucial factor in this game as it kept the Susquehanna By Dave Orishak girls out of the scoring circle for We have now reached the most of the _game. halfway point in intramural Freshman Jerry Ann Smith competition and there has been played the best defensive game of only one change in the WPI poll her young college career.

It is the competition for the Stagg Bowl, but with teams vying for the Bowl with combined records of 210 it perhaps should be renamed the Bathroom Bowl. Hopefully someone will win; certainly both cannot lose . . The Crusaders will have the home field advantage this Saturday but the only significance that it holds is that wheri SU starts coughing up the ball th~y will be booed instead of cheered. The only effect that playing away will have on Wilkes is that when the Colonels start coughing up the ball they will be cheered instead of booed. Playing home or away has seemingly no effect on the consistancy· of ineptitude displayed by either team {Apologies to Cosell.) The ·team that doesn't lose the best will receive the Stagg Bowl Trophy. It is a bronzed hat that was worn by the former famous coach who finished his collegiate coaching career at Susquehanna while he was in his 80's; Amos Alonzo Stagg. Amos Alonzo would probably rather eat his ~t, bronze and all, than watch two teams as glaringly unsuccessful as th~e two desperately try to give each other the trophy. With the amount of turnovers anticipated, the winners would probably fumble the trophy anyway. Susquehanna has momentum on its side. They won last week. Consecutive losses to Westminister, 20-7; Geneva, 13-12; Upsala, 2411; Lycoming, 13-3; Juniata, 20-6 ; and Albright, 48-7 failed to demoralize the Crusaders as they came through with a victory to break their umblemished record. The win came in the hands of Delaware Valley, the only team in the country, with the humble exception of Misericordia's powder puff team, that is worse than Wilkes or SU. So the Crusaders have momentum, a half wav decent offense and not a heck of a lot more. · The SU offensive machine is directed by senior quarterback Hadley Brown. Brown has completed a large percentage of his passes but unfortunately many of them were to the men on the opposing team, 10 of them to be precise. To his own men he has completed only 69 of 160 for 754 yards and 4 TD's. The completion percentage of 43% isn't tremendous but the number of attempts is hefty. His main man is one of the best receivers in the _nation, a man named John Xanthis. He has 39 receptions for 444 yards and 3 TD's, almost single handedly as much as the entire Colonel passing attack. The ground game for the Crusaders borders on tokenism. Paul O'Neill is the leading rusher with 378 yards on 90 carries. They have been averaging around 235 yards on total offense per game, however,if they falter , secret weapon Wayne Lupole will be waiting in the wings. The Crusader defense isn't much to brag about either. They have been extremely pourous against the run, which should delight Colonel fans except for the fact that the Colonels can't run. SU has a veteran defensive backfield, but don't be dismayed Colonel fans because the Colonels can't pass anyway. Susquehanna "little d" has been yielding almost 300 yards a game, so if the Wilkes offense can get the act together they should be able to put some points on the board. The Colonel "Big D" has been simply magnificent. The Wilkes offense has be~n giving up more points than the defense with fumbles and interceptions and other assorted miscellaneous evils deep in Colonel territory. The defensive priority this week will be to stop the Brown-Xanthis connection. They were burned a few times against Albright though the air so this will be a key to vrctory, a seemingly unwelcome stranger to either campus. Colonel Don Patrick struggles up a hill and past a Baptist Bible harrier. These . were the good ole days when the Colonels were healthy and winning. Next week the Colonels will be healthy again. Now the bad news - it's the last week of the season. , BITING THE BULLET - Like most Colonel offensive plays, this one faile<!,. Paul Wengen (81) and Bill Slavoski (8) watch Ed Murray get greamed.

Wilkes College will play host to the 1976 Susquehanna Field Hockey Association tournament this Saturday and Sunday at Kirby Park. Coach Gay Meyers is serving as general chairperson for the two day round robin tourney which will include teams from Bucknell, Bloomsburg State, Susquehanna, Lock Haven, Wilkes, and Center County Club. Each team will play six games. Following the two days of competition, 22 players will be chosen to represent the Susquehanna Association at the. Mideast Sectional Tournament to be held November 6-7 in Rochester, New York. The national U.S. Tournament is slated for November 25-28 at the Valley Forge Military Academy in Valley Forge. Coronary Colonels Give .Coach Ulcers Again, 4-3 ; FDU Victin1 By Eddie White Adding their own splendor to the Homecoming festivities, (even though they were over a 100 miles away) , the Wilkes College soccer team defeated Madison FDU, 4-3, at the latter's field. The Colonels, who might very well be giving Coach Chip Eaton an ulcer, played their sixth game in seven which was decided by one point. The Colone ls , enjoying one of their better seasons in recent years, scored first when sophomore Mario Apuzzo fired a shot passed the FDU goalie. The 5-6, 155 pounder was assisted by freshman Tim Reynolds. Using what Coach. Eaton called, "The wind factor," the Blue and Gold opened a 2-0 lead on a goal by junior Tony Apostolaros. Apostolaros took a pass from ( Does it all) Apuzzo and put it in at the 21 :09 mark of the first half. · After Madison cut the lead in half Apuzzo again scored lo put the Colonels up ·by two. This time junior Dean Evans assisted on the goal at 24 :41. Aposlolaros scored his second goal of the game, which proved to be the game winner , after Madison tied the score at 3-3. Tony was assisted by Len Vekkos . That concluded the scoring for the half a nd the ball game. The defense took over in the second half. Bill Nardone, tfie best defern;e since the polio shot, played his usual great ga me as goalie. "Mr. Defense" garnered 14 saves to give him a total of 144 for the season., With credentials like these he is bound to get post-season honors. Eaton stated, "Andy Dutch and Mark Ritter played the best defensive ga mes of their lives, at a time we really needed it. " He also said, " Panos Kalaritis was his usual great on defense." The Colonels will meet Moravian today at Ralston Field al 3. Coach Eaton said this will be "our homecoming." The Blue and Gold will try to avenge last year's 7-3 defeat al the hands of the Greyhounds. The Blue and Gold will be home again on Saturday afternoon at 2, when they meet the Crusaders of Susquehanna. Altl;ough Eaton is not overlooking Moravian and Susquehanna, he stated the true test for the Colonels will be Elizabethtown, which he sa id is the best in the league. The Colonels are (2-2) in the league and 4-3 overall. THE WINNERS OF THE DANCE CONTEST - Mario Apuzzo takes the lead as he and an opponent do the shuffle. The Colonels, lead by Apuzzo's scoring have been making some sweet music and have something to dance about. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His name at first glance may be unknown to many. However, judging from his previous experience with contemporary artists Janis Ian, Clleech and Chong, and Martin Mull, he has made himself an accomplished star in his own right. Leopold's music ranges from folk to jazz. His original compositions highlight his concerts, and generally deal with people and life as it is. Leopold is a realist. The amazing thing about this versatile "John Denver," is that he is a one-man band. The former Skippack, Pennsylvania resident backs up his story-telling with his own accompaniment. One rather unusual aspect about Leopold is that he calls his guitar by the name of " Metaphysical." He holds the origin of the name as a "deep dark secret". Some songs Leopold has written include "Next Time," a love ballad with a brisk flavor . " Burning Tree" features two different concepts; the first is of betrayal and the second encompasses a feeling of forgiveness. The blond musician's mood changes with the tone of the selection he performs. His mood may be serious one moment, and humorous the next. Leopold has played at " The Mainpoint," in Pennsylvania, the " Bijou" in Philadelphia. He has Perry Leopold also performed at Drexel, Scranton and Tufts Universities. · The concert is scheduled for Sunday in the Student Union Building. There will be two performances, one at 7:30 p.m. and the second at 9: 30 p.m. All are invited and admission is free.

Media Is In Command· Of The '76 Election The sleepy town of Plains, Georgia, never knew what publicity was until the almighty Jimmy Carter (J.C. for short) decided to run for president. The media has been literally plagued with . the problem of finding another adjective to describe the small town, in fact Walter Cronkite spent a night with Roget's Thesaurus. Why do the media monsters relish the idea of chowing down peanut butter and bologna sandwiches watching Jimmy Carter play baseball, while they don't seem to care if Ford walks across the White House lawn? The residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan, haven't been bothered with the problem of dodging inquiring David Brinkleys, wondering if the residents know Jerry Ford. The residents of Plains , Georgia find the reporters inescapable. . The logical answer is that Jimmy Carter spends more time in Plains, Georgia than Jerry Ford spends in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It seems that Carter is easier for the public to understand. He fits in a neat, orderly package. The media monsters have taken it upon themselves to sell the package. Carter is reputed to be dynamic, energetic, and special as compared to the bland, bald, pot-bellied Ford. Carter was the one that rose from the peanut patch to be a successful naval officer, and then gave up his career to return to the peanut patch to soon turn it into a fortune. He then came from amongst the peanuts to be Governor of Georgia, and finally a presidential candidate. · And if that isn't enough, he is a devout Baptist, and an avid reader of religious materials. After all, Ford only played football at Michigan, worked his way through law school, came back from the army and threw out an incumbent, got elected to Congress at a young age, defeated another incumbent to become House Minority Leader, and then received the Democratic approval as Vice President. Believe it or not, Ford also goes to church, and probably occasionally picks up some religious matiial, but no one seems to care anymore about that. · · The point is not·Y ord versus Carter but the. bigotry of the media. The media monsters breed on specifics. They do not use adjectives like good, bad, moral, immoral, but instead smiling, man-of-the people Carter, folksy Ford. How can the public judge a candidate on qualifications like smiling and folksy? The debates have backfired into a three-ring-circus with the winner owing his vi_ctory to his speech writer and make-up man . . Is it any wonder that the public has taken such an apathetic view of this campaign? As the campaign draws to a close it will be the responsibility ol the American people to decode the facades that have snowballed through the weeks and vote for the candidate who best represents the public's interest. ,.

It is based on the idea of peer group counseling which holds that addicted persons are more likely to seek help from trained persons of their own age group. The program is not rile.a nt as a complete counseling service but rather as a first step from which a college student can gain the necessary help. In all cases, the strictest ~onfidence will be maintained. Cl) THURSDAY'S EVENTS NAMING OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN: After a protest by Maryjean, Student Government corresponding secretary, was appointed by Zeke Zaborney, last year's SG president, to the post of Homecoming chairman. Maryjean received plenty of help from the eight people who were responsible for some of this weekend's activities. "They were very cooperative and did anything I asked, " commented Maryjean. Jean Reiter and Debi Steg.h.ens were in charge of Homecoming displays. The Bonfire was the responsibility of Sheree Keesler, Helen Stubits and Dave Chernundolo, CC president. Dion Spencer is in charge of tomorrow's activities at the football game. QI 10 The group believes alcoholism and addiction are diseases which are treatable and are not a moral issue. Dependency upon them, can only lead to a psychological, social, and physical deterioration. Circle K only wishes to help a person accept the responsibility of his or her life and to. recognize his or her importance and full potential. In order to clarify and to introduce this progrl;lm, a film and lecture on Drug and Alcohol Abuse will be presented on Thursday, November 4 in Room 1 of the Stark Learning Center. Mr. Carmen Ambrosino, Executive . . HMMM Director of the Wyoming Valley Center On Alcohol Abuse will be the guest speaker. All faculty and students are invited. Those who are interested ·in meeting with one of the trained Circle K members are requested to do so by letter through the Circle K mailbox at the Book Store. A meeting can then be arranged. A special phone number will be available in the future. All that is required is a first name and a phone number where you may be reached. The letters may be addressed to Rick Frusciante, Dave Berman, Linda Goss, Mary Kay Malloy, or Mary Beth Vanyo.

After a brief scuttle, the competition began. Dennison.scored high in the evening gown competition with Diaz overpowermg the bathing suit contest. Priapus gave Slocum a good fight for the talent portion but the combo of "Stash and Yosh" with their saxophone and bongo rendition of the "Wilkes Drinking Song;" won the overalls m talent. Most of the male competitiors withdrew from the final after they realized that they were vying for the title of "Homecoming Qµeen" with an "n" not "Qµeen" with an "r." However Sullivan triumphed by placing two in the finals. Congratulations Ed and Joe Sullivan. The Congeniality Award went to Roosevelt's own "Loquacious Lenny. " . BONFIRE: The bonfire was cancelled after a phone misunderstanding occurred. A male caller phoned the field house to ask :about the Bonfire in Ralston Field, but was quoted as saying, "He was going to set a bomb afire in Ralston Fiefd." Bomb threats have even shaken the homecoming activities. TODAY'S EVENTS JUDGING OF THE HOMECOMING DISPLAYS: Winners in this competition were the SG Grievance Committee with "All's Not Bright in Albright Tonight ;" The Campus Ministry with "Albright is All Right ;" The cafeteria with "Roast Albright;" Clean Up Albright" ?Y the Environmental Science Club, and lastly Commuter Council with "Qµit This Game." UNDERGRADUATE DINNER DANCE: The Dinner-Dance Committee announces that all those wishing to attend the dance meet in the parking lot of Stark Learning Center until they can locate a dance hall. Treadway Inn cancelled the reservation when the manager mentioned something about St. Patrick's Day Parties to Gus Genetti at a recent convention. SATURDAY'S EVENTS FOOTBALL GAME: For a switch this year's game will be a double header with the football team running the hot dog stand and the letterwomen playing Albright. A large turnout is not expected, however, because secretary Dotty Martin sent nasty letters to Albright's team and scared them away. The second game will feature the football team against the Alumni with three minute quarters for their behalf. Some highlights should be Dr. Reese and Narv Antinnes getting thrown out of the game for laughing; Frank Wengen biting some heads, and look for the touchdown combination of Mr. Hoover throwing a pass to George Pawlush. He runs into the end zone, along the dike, through Kirby Park, over the bridge, etc. ALUMNI FIFTH QUARTER: The undergraduates found out about the party and decided to change the name to "Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Half'' celebration. · ALUMNI DANCE : After the dinner, the Alumni will welcome their newest members-the class of 1976. They will tell some of their success stories including "143 Credits and my ·Life as a Secretary;" "How Student Teaching Helps Me Sell .Shoes In Sears;" and "Business Administration is Always Picking Up When You Work For The Sanitation Department." SUNDAY'S EVENTS INAUGURATION OF THE P.RESIDENT: We all congratulate President Robert S. Ca pin on this day. Other important guests in attendance will be some past presidents including Grover Cleveland, John Adams, and Richard Nixon. RECEPTION: The alumni and undergraduates have considered turning this into the "Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Half'' in honor of President Capin but they must adhere to his drinking policy.

Shown are members of the squad: Patty Davis, Gail Rikunas, Charlotte Richard, Ellen duFosse, Sheree Kessler, Ruth Plythee, Cheryl Moyer, and Lynn Sheron. Twirling Squad ShowsSpirit The twirling squad has gotten into full swing under the leadership of captain Ellen duFosse and co-captain, Sherri Kessler. The group consists of eight sophomore and junior girls, namely Cheryl Moyer, Ruth Plythee, Gail Rikunas, Patty Davis, Charlotte Richard, and Lynn Sheron. The girls practice an average of 6 hours a ·week and work hard to present an endurable half-time performance. Their success can also be attributed to the help of Mr. Gasbaro. · Ellen cited, "The group extends thanks to Mr. Gasbaro and the band for their tremendous effort and cooperation." · As a result of this assistance, tl}e group has achieved a variety of performances. Among them was a dance routine in which the majorettes, cheerleaders, and strutters participated. This gave all the squads a chance to work as a unit instead of three individual groups. " It unites the schoof", commented Ellen. On the agenda for the twirlers is their upcoming performances this weekend. They twirled fire at the bonfire, and will repeat the execution at the homecoming football game. In the near future, they will also take part in performances at two basketball games with the assistance of the band, once again.

The Colonels are currently holding a 1-3 record in what was initially and hopefully still is a rebµilding year. But just because this is a rebuilding season, it doesn't make it a sacrificial lamb. They had excellent chances to win and could just as easily be 3-1 at this point. Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start. The misery began in Indiana, Pa. over a month ago. The Indians defeated the Colonels 13-0 in the only legitimate loss on the Wilkes slate. The Colonel defense looked tremendous, turning the Indians away from scoring opportunities almost constantly. But IUP always seemed to have great field position due to the ineptitude of the Wilkes offense and the Colonel Big "D" was outstanding. The same cannot be said for the offense as they could only muster one serious scoring drive all afternoon and that stalled on the IUP 2 yard line as time ran out. They obviously had not yet jelled. The MAC opener with Lycoming was a Wilkes disaster. The scouting report on the Warriors was that they have a very strong defense against the rush but had holes in the defensive secondary. Albright had a tough time in ,, beating them the week before and had to resort to their seldom used passing game to pull out the victory. You guessed it. The Colonels spotted Lycoming a 21-3 lead in the fourth quarter before turning to the passing game. Once they went to the air, they scored twice and really put a scare into the Warriors as they were driving.for the winning touchdown when time ran out. Why they didn't go sooner with the passes when it was apparent that the running game was going nowhere will remain forever a mystery. It ,'appeared that the Wilkes offense had finally come together in the Bloomsburg tilt. They scored a ~1-21 victory as they mushed the Huskies convincingly. The fearsome defense collected six i.w~rcepttt,fis and Bill Slavoski finally seemed to gWerate s«;tne leadership from the quarterback position. What happened in Orange two weeks ago is still question in the Colonel minds. The Upsala game was played in near hurricane weather conditions but the Wilkes offense was simply terrible. The line wasn't sustaining the blocks, the ground game picked up only 22 yards on 34 plays, and the passing attack was 3-15 for 24 yards. The Colonel defense gave the offense plenty of opportunities to score but what had been a high-powered attack the week before was suddenly anemic. Ill ,a tD ..... 0 n 0 g., N !" ........ 0, by jeff acornley a The big Colonel problem has been consistancy in the offense. Juggling three quarterbacks has not helped. All of the players are young and inexperience causes mistakes like the one we have seen thus far into the season. They cannot afford to let down in their effort in the remaining games because the experience they gain this season will be critical in next year's title drive. _ Hockey Team Has Split Week The Colonel Cross Country team started with such optimism and has been crippled almost to a halt. Injuries and sickness have taken their toll. The last time that Wilkes ran with a completely healthy squad was early in the year. Pictured are some of the fallen Colonel heroes , Dave Kerek, Steve Standiford, and Roger Davis. The healthy one on the right is Jeff Davis.

The women's field hockey team faced a rather busy schedule last week as they met Lafayette on Monday and Lycoming on Tuesday. Both games were played at Ralston Field. Monday's contest was a heartbreaker for the Wilkes girls as they suffered a 3-0 defeat. Lafayette provided the Colonelettes with the strongest competition they have had to face yet this year. The Wilkes team played their opponents even but Lafayette took advantage of scoring opportunities. The female Colonels seem to lack scoring punch against the stronger teams. The Wilkes women were fired Scandinavian Seminar is now accepting applications for its study abroad program in Denmark , Finland, Norway , or Sweden for the academic year 1977-78 .

Mental mistakes and the lack of execution in the scoring attack hurt. J ean Johnson and Kim Flis played their best defensive game of the season. Tuesday's game ended on a m4ch happier note as the Wilkes team pulles out a 5-1 victory. Ronna Colvin scored two, Penny Bianconi scored two and Jerry Ann Smith scored one on a penalty stroke. Assists came from Karen Killian, two; Jerry Ann Smith, and Penny Bianconi. The offensive attack was executed well in this game but the defense seemed to be falling apart from the way they had 113 S.

The Wilkes girls rushed well against Lycoming's defense and utilized cross passes to shift the defense and get in for the score.

Smith put the ball right in the upper left hand corner of the cage and the Lyco~ing goalie had no chance of stopping it. , Following the - victory, Coach Gay Meyers commented, "This was a good win - a win we needed to get the tide changed back in a positive direction.

ID By Jeff Acornley The Colonel defense will be coonted on to stop the fierce Albright wishbone attack. Stopping the running game has been the Wilkes strong point thus The Lions are coming to town and it looks like the Colonels are in the unfortunate position _ of being the Christian. The Albright Lions are currently sitting on top of the MAC Northern Division pack with an undefeated 4-0 record. They have squeaked past Lycoming, 20-14, and Juniata, 1513 in their first two seasonal encounters. · Albright resorted to a seldom needed passing attack to rally to a victory over the tough Warriors in the opener. The Lions were down 14-0 in the fourth quarter before their miraculous comeback through the air. They needed a two-point conversion with little time remaining in the contest to get by the Juniata team in a very important match up. Delaware Valley was hardly a oroblem and the Aggies were walloped 35-0 in the third MAC tilt for the Lions. Gettysburg put a klinker in the Albright machine, handing a 1410 loss to the Reading team in a nonleague encounter. But the Lions bounced right back, murdering Susquehanna 48-7 to run their MAC slate to 4-0. The Lions run a triple-option wishbone on offense and as a result have a very punishing ruq,.ning attack. Frankie Francks is the main man on the ground. He led the MAC North in rushing last season and is the key to the wishbone. But the Colonels won't be able to mold their defense far. Don McDermott and Mike Molitoris are shown preparing the brick wall. Hooters Given Royal Beating By Eddie White The Wilkes College Soccer team has turned into a yo-yo. In their first six matches the club · has won, lost, won, -lost, won and list. It's a nice way to finish .500, but no way to succeed. The Colonels were defeated by the Royals of Scranton, 3-1, last Friday ;:.tt Ralston Field. It was the first tilt this season for the Blue and Gold which was decided by more than one goal. Scranton ( 5-3) took the lead when All-MAC forward Jim Rauer passed the ball to freshman Dan Amspacher, who put a 10 yard kick in at the 8: 40 mark. The Royals extended the lead when freshman John Keating scored a goal with 17 :20 gone in the first half. Rauer again assisted. Wilkes got their only tally of the day on a Tim Reynolds head kick at 27: 13 of the first half. The 5-9, 155 pounder took a pass from senior Panos Kalaritis and "noggened" it in. The Blue and Gold were held scoreless in the second period while Scranton's . Jim McGlynn scored to put the match out of reach. The Colonel defense played their usual fine game, led by goalie Bill Nardone, Mark Ritter, Andy Dutch and Kalaritis. Also freshman Nick Golowich , a newcomer to the squad, did a good job on defense. The department where the Colonels were hurting was offense . Wilkes had only 6 shots on goal, while Scranton collected an awesome, total of 37 attempts. Coach Chip Eaton stated, " We lost the game in the middle of the field. They outclasses us. To win we would have had to play our best game of the year." The Colonels will take to the road tomorrow when they meet Madison FDU. around Francks because Bill Gallen just happened to finish third in the MAC North in rushing last year and together thl:!y present a very formidable 1-2 punch. Albright also proved that they could pass and Junior Pat Sharp is the quarterback. His targets include Regis Yoboud and Dan Daly. Outstanding linemen include All-MAC performers Dave Kurzinsky and Mark Redmond. The Albright defense is also quite intimidating. They are led by DE Tom Neary, MG Kevin ' Kelly, LB Ray Granger, and DB's Rod Neary, Bill Brown and Tom Glossner. Albright is loaded and the Colonels will have to play their best game of the season to derail the Lions and prevent them from their second consecutive MAC title.· Team Totals w First Downs 32 Passes Att. 78 Passes Comp. 30 T.D.

Unnecessary Bomb Scares Waste Time And Money Bomb scares at Wilkes are becoming as common as fire drills were in high school. Six incidents in four days have succeeded in making them almost part of the daily routine. By the third one, we didn't have to ask what was going on. It was just another bomb scare. It is hard to decide just what to think about these incidents. Fortunately, they have been only "scares" _a nd no damage to human life or property has occurred. Nearly all threats of this kind are not carried out, but probability has no place where the safety of human beings is concerned. No one can, or should be, willing to take the chance that a bomb threat will not become a reality. So we are herded outof buildings each time someone decides to call the switchboard and threaten to blow up the campus. No one can prevent bomb threats from taking place, and little can be done once they do occur. There have been incidents in the past at Wilkes and other institutions, and there will probably be more in the future. But right now, someone with a warped sense of humor is depreciating the value of our education. At first we're not too concerned when our classes are cancelled because of a bomb threat. After all, having such unexpected free time .once in a while is not exactly upsetting. But beneath each cancelled class lies a potentially serious problem. Each time some lunatic decides to make a bomb threat someone does get hurt. Us. Our $2500 education loses part of its value everytime. It was not intended that education have a time limit. Even a formal education such as the one we are now undertaking cannot be slotted into an eight-semester period. A 15-week semester and three or four credits mean nothing if we have learned nothing. It may not seem to be a disaster when we miss a few classes each term because of bomb threats or any other reason, but it is. We' re losing money, but more importantly, we' re missing one of the few chances we have to broaden our vision and be formally educated. It isn' t important now? Should we be willing to gamble that it never will be? Campus Apathy Bugs Student To The Editor: The purpose of this letter is to speak our against the apathy which has overwhelmingly infected the majority of Wilkes College students. By apathy, I am ·referring not only to those who are not members of organizations or clubs, but also to those who pretend to be involved, when indeed they are not. Prime examples of such apathy are the responses which led to and included my las.t class meeting. To begin with, I requested that a Beac•n representative be present, feeling publicity would stimulate student involvement. I was told that this would not be possible and it was suggested that a summary of events be written for publication. At the same time, I was told that the summary would not be included in the next edition of The Beacon. There were approximately twenty members of the Class of '79 present; this percentag~ of student involvement was pathetic. One person made the comment that we lacked sufficient publicity for our meetings. When asked if there were any volunteers to help on the publicity committee, no one responded. This was, as I expected, as many of the students at Wilkes are satisfied to sit back and complain, but are not willing to do anything to help. The students are even too apathetic to vote in their own elections; This year the officers of the Class of 1979, along with certain members of the executive council are planning a series of events to improve student life. This is being encouraged by the formation of a new Activities Committee which will work only if the students want it to work and are willing to get involved! All students will receive more than sufficient notice for all class meetings, and these meetings are for all class members - dorm students and commuters alike. Attendance is expected and is needed! If this is to t?e a fulfilling year, student apathy must end. We feel we deserve the support of all members of the class as well as the support of The Beacon. Michael Barth President: Class of 1979 EDITOR'S NOTE The Beacon will attend any class or club function or meeting if given sufficient notice.

Flag Football Waves No Flags Dear Editor: T d th d f owar s e en o September Wilkes College kicks off its intramural football program. This is an activity that involves approximately 225 mixed upper and underclassmen, commuters and dorm students. Even the referees and officials are students. Intramural ·football entails a great deal of excitement, planning, gossip and most of all fun. I wonder how many activities or school functions can claim this ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' many participants? There are a few basic pieces of equipment essential to flagfootball, one a football and secondly the flags. I would like to commend Wilkes for the footballs, but where are the flags? I think it is absurd to play flag football without flags. I do not know who is at fault, or who to contact to alleviate the situation. With so many people involved it would be really nice to have flags before the season is over! Seth Silver LETTER From Page 1 that we now have. It would create better competition among those seeking positions in S.G. because it would eliminate many of the elected positions that we presently have and . it would encourage more participation because it would welcome anyone who wanted to serve on a committee. I sincerely believe that this new Student Government could work if it were given a chance. Furthermore, I do believe that change is desperately needed if any real progress in the area of students ' rights and responsibilities is to be made in the future.

HARD AT WORK - Klaus Holm, Scene Designer forJhe Wilkes College Theater, is hard at work putting finishing touches on scenery from last weekend's production of "Arms and the Man," by George · Bernard Shaw. Stutts' Production ·Is Success George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" was recently presented in the Wilkes Theater as part of the Artist-in-Residence program with actor Will Stutts guest directing. The play deals with the "Peyton Place" type of loveaffairs on the surface while Shaw interjects his wisdom and satire in the lines of the characters. The action takes place in Bulgaria in about 1885. " Although there was little action in the first act, the seed was sown for the following acts. An enemy soldier finds refuge in the bedroom of the opposing Major's daughter whil~ her fiance is off to battle. The second act brings the Major and the fiance home to what appears at first to be normal circumstances. Hints of what happened are unveiled and new • lights are shed on tht: various romances. The Art Of Doing Nothing It is very important to do nothing. Nothing stimulates all desires which will further develop the art of something. So, in other words, if you are doing nothing, actually you a re doing something. Continuation of this ar.t br ings about__exper ience _and know-how which will enable any individual to do nothing_anytime he feels like it. Now wouldn't that be something ! When old age catches up with you, the art of doing nothing becomes very important to aay red-blooded , hard-arteried, American. If the art of doing nothing is developed and practiced through adolescence, a happier senile period will result. . A well-rounded old person is the guy who can do nothmg for twenty-four hours out of the day and be perfectly content in doing so. You may ask, "How can you tell when a person is doing nothing the right way? " This is very easy to spot. For example, if an old person is rocking in his chair on the porch and is seemingly asleep, but you detect the slightest hint of a smile on his_face, then this would indicate an ex- By Lisa Waznik The third act brings back the enemy soldier to the Major's daughter, her fiance to the servant girl, and all exit contended. Linda Abbey portrayed Raina the daughter. Her graceful movements about the stage and her "elite" mannerisms made her wealthy airs easy to believe. Elayne Tubman as the blub- . bering mother and wife was comic.:! and performed with the ease of any professional. It was refreshing to see Elayne in a nonmusical role. · Jeff Schlicher has lived up to the name he has created for himself in the Wilkes Theater as the enemy soldier, Bluntschli. Jeff can play any role without trouble and his abilities were evident in this witty character. Patti Fichtner as the rebellious servant Louka played a part you loved and hated at the same time. While she was bold and brash, she also represented the person of self-pride and ambition. The dual role is hard to handle but worked out fine iii this case. Pa ul Kerrigan played the perfect coward war-hero. He was perhaps the most amusing character with his chivalrous but also 'down to earth' thoughts. His ' comic actions arroused much laughter from the audience. An especially good part was his signing of the commands handed to him by Bluntschli. Joseph Gavlick always plays a good "father " part and as usual made you believe his ch~racter. Jim McGraw did an excellent rendition of Nicola the servant. He also added a comic touch to his actions and won the approval of a laughing audience. Will Stutts did a fine job in his direction of the play, however, his cast must have made his work easy. • It was an enjoyable show. perienced "do-nothing." Of course, do not jump the gun in this situation, for the subject might just have a slight case of gas . Another example of an excellent "Do-nothing" is Elmer Twittle, winner of the International Indoor Checker Championship, and also holder of the "King-Me Award" for double checkers. · Elmer, an 82 year old "Do-nothing," has been playing the pro checker circuit for forty years which also gives him the world's record for the most years of doing nothing. Good work, Elmer. Doing nothing stimulates the mind and that is doing something. So to elaborate on this would only defeat this author's purpose in writing an article of this sort. So let's call it quits, and take it easy, you know I'm trying to break Elmer's record. --0- JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, Why did Marianne take a gun and a knife in her car with her when she had to cross a busy intersection?

This intercollegiate activity made its home here in the fall of 1948. The 28 year history of Debate has left a permanent mark on the history of the school. In 1948, Dr. Arthur Kruger became the first coach of debate. His first year as coach found the debaters winning four out of eight debates. The next year they became members 9f the prestigious Debate Association of Pennsylvania Colleges, but they also were recognized as one of the great debating teams in the East. Continued Honors The honors brought to the school continued, and perhaps the greatest honor the team received was tying Notre Dame for first place iri the Brooklyn College Invitational Tournament in the 1951-1952 season. The following year Wilkes became firmly established as a debate . power by defeating Harvard and Columbia. Throughout these years, Wilkes defeated almost every major debate team. But, it wasn't Dr. Kruger's work alone . His debaters deserve much credit. Nick Flannery and Jesse Choper are two men who will never be forgotten for their contributions to the team.

Several Wilkes professors tried to keep the program alive, but they failed. The team was dead. Kinney Rebuilds In 1973, Dr. Bradford L. Kinney resurrected the Debate Union. Although Kinney started from scratch, the program was reinstituted because of student pressure . . The top debaters transferred to other schools or entered Hahnemann the following year. They travelled to 6 tournaments, finishing in the upper 10 percent. In 1974, the team, again rebuilding, entered its first Individual Speaking Events tour- · nament, where they won 7 awards. Last year the team won 33 awards while traveling over 4,500 miles. The debaters also became members of Pi Kappa Delta, the national forensic honor society. Budget Limitations This year, Dr. Kinney is proud to note invitations to some of the most prestigious schools and tournaments in the country. His squad may be unable to attend these tournaments because of a limited budget. However, the squad is stretching their present · budget and trying to raise additional funds. Certain teams are leery when they come up against "Kinney's Kids" because they are welldisciplined and well-prepared. As one debater stated, "Kinney is the most dedicated man I know. He kills himself to make debate an important and ·worthwhile part of our college life." According to Dr. Kinney, "We are a powerhouse, not in numbers, but in dedication, ability and training."

But do not despair track fans, the best is yet to come. After a fast start, the Colonels ran into the proverbial brick wall. With twin losses to powerful Scranton coupled with victories over Baptist Bible and Muhlenberg, the Colonels were pointed toward a winning season. After so many disasterous campaigns it appeared as though a Wilkes Cross Country team would post a winning record, finally. But the turning point of the season appears to have occurred on a rainy, muddy day in Doylestown. The Colonels faced Delaware Valley, Albright, and Philadelphia Textile in a quadrangular meet.

Mush COionel; By Dotty Martin It was a long ride home for the Colonelette field hockey team on Thursday night when they had to bring back a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bloomsburg State College. Although the final score was not in their favor, the Wilkes girls did defeat their opponents statistically. Wilkes had 13 corner shots to Bloom's 10 and 19 total shots at goal to Bloom's 13. Two Wilkes fros h worked well together for the lone Blue and Gold goal as Jerry Ann Smith passed to Mary Jo Frail who then put in the score. Miss Frail did an excellent job as she was forced to switch positions to fill in for injured .Karen Killian. Senior co-captain Penny Bianconi also played a great offensive game.

The Colonels were defeated in all three matches, losing to Delaware Valley 17-46; Albright 17-43; and Philadelphia Textile 27-29. Coach George Pawlush thinks that this was a pivital part of the season. "We went into that quadrangular match with realistic hopes of coming home with a 4-3 record. Due to the weather and just simply a bad day, we were 2-5 in trouble. It's a shame that we were p~nalized three matches for only one bad run." • Lebanon Valley was next on the schedule for the Colonels and they extended their win streak to 21 straight matches while Wilkes fell to 2-6. Many of the Colonel harriers have been bothered with minor injuries and nagging sicknesses.

"I was hoping for a .500 season but maybe I overanticipated our progress," stated Pawlush. "I still think we can turn it around and finish respectably. But whatever happens with the rest of this year, we have made giant strides toward a competitive cross country program." Joins Bliot Smegmas Contracts Dr. Turoczi As Coach; Ranked 1st In Poll By Dave Orischak And Bob Welsh After two full weeks of competition each team in the intramural football league has at least one game under their belts. This has made it possible for the WPI to release its first poll of the season. The poll established Smegmas as the number one team this week with 376 votes. This first place ranking was justified by the 46-0 defeat that Smegmas handed Hotel Sterling m a game played last week. TlJis game was not as close as the score indicates. After hearing about his teams top ranking, Seth Siver called a press conference and told the surprised reporters that his team had signed Dr. Lester J. Turoczi as head coach. That makes two teams who have signed new head coaches within the past two weeks. Last week, Denison signed George Elliot. Turoczi is a seasoned coach and he should help the Smegmas team to become even more powerful than they are at present. Turoczi obtained most of his experience at Rutgers where he was known for the number of passes he attempted. When asked atout his low completion percentage, Turoczi stated that the girls simply weren't receptive enough. The New Riders are ranked second this seek as a result of their opening game victory over Colonels House.

The Wilkes College soccer team is for REAL! ! The club, not expected to do much this · season, raised their record to 3-2, with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Baptist Bible on Tuesday. The Colonels went behind 1-0 at the half when Steve Kasiguran took a pass from Lenny Schaefer to give Baptist the edge. At ·the 8:00 mark of the second half, sophomore Mario Apuzzo tied the score at 1-1, with a 20 yard straight kick. With time running out, and the threat of overtime hanging over their heads , the Colonels scored with three minutes left in the contest. Junior Tony Apostolaros passes to Apuzzo, who scored his second goal of the game, the game winner for the Blue and Gold. Apuzzo, a 5~, 155 pounder from Jamesburg, 1-i.J ., is the leading goal scorer on the Colonels with five. Shining as always for the Blue and Gold was "Mr. Defense" Bill Nardone as goalie. The 5-11, 11 pound senior garnered 16 saves to give him a total of 116 for the season. Coach Eaton stated, "This is the best defensive game our team has played all year. " Eaton was quick to note that the reason for the Colonels improved defensive was the work of Assistant Coach Mike Sicher. Coach Eaton said he was more than pleased with the defensive work done by sophomores Andy Dutch and Mark Ritter. He also said, "As always, Panos Kalaritis played his steady defense in front of the goal." The Colonels next meet is Saturday afternoon against Scranton at Ralston Field at 2.

The Colonels probably should have been equipped with snorkels last Saturday at Upsala as they were drowned by the Vikings, 7-0 in near hurricane conditions. The Wilkes defense again turned iri an outstanding performance. The Vikings only completed one pass but it went for 49 yards ~nd set up the only score of the game. Tony Pace, Jim Mosier, Chris O'Brien; Tony Couto, Don McDermott and .Co. were all over the field harassing Viking players. Unfortunately, the Colonel offense didn't do much harassing of their own. They could only muster 46 yards on 49 total plays. Those are not first quarter statistics, friends, that~ total yardage for the entire afternoon. Colonel quarterbacks completed 3-15 passes for only 24 yards and the Wilkes ground game was even mor inept with 22 yards on 34 plays. Don McDermott had another outstanding day in the punting department. He kicked 9 times for 404 yards for a 44.9 average on the day, including a 70 yarder. His season average is 38.7 With the Wilkes offense in the shape it's in, at least he gets a lot of practice. Coach Jonah Goobic describes the offensive performance of the Colonels as "lousy." It was at best lousy and although the field conditions were bad, Upsala was playing under the same conditions. Goobic stated, "We're just going to have to look at the films and be determined to turn this season around and salvage some respectability.

"Campus security has been functioning the same as it has in the past three years, although this year new equipment is being used," stated Joe Marchetti, housing director. "Security has to be tightened up - made more efficient," asserted O'Brien. But yet the weeks pass with students claiming they hear of more assaults and exhibitionist incidents, and little appears to be changing. The Del-Cap security sustem, as it is officially called, has been servicing Wilkes for three years. "Del-Cap is not some fly-by-night organization, " commented Charles Abate, business manager of the college. "Never," according to one veteran guard, "has so much been happening on the Wilkes campus." The guard continued to say that Wilkes is being called, "the bootcamp of Del-Cap," and all guards spend from five to seven weeks here. Something that the guards "don 't look forward to." According to Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president, "I don't believe Wilkes is being used as any kind of bootcamp." A typical night has the usual three roving guards circulating the campus on foot, protecting 52 buildings and approximately 750 students. The guards are responsible for punching keys at By Patti Reilly various points on campus, indicating that they have passed through the area. However, if they should be summoned on an emergency, they are excused from their usual pattern. In the past, it was the job of Nelson Carle, maintenance consultant, to review the tapes from the keys to know who was where throughout the night. Finding out that this chore had not been done in several weeks, Carle started to once again check tapes. To his astonishment, when comparing tapes and written reports, the same guards seemed to check out the same amount of perverts each night at the same times, generally indicating a very unusual sequence of events. Joseph Capone, the head of Del- Cap, seemed confident that "corrective action will be taken" as concerns these incidents. Two Del-Cap guards, both slightly built, when asked if they knew the location of Barre Hall, a girls' dorm situated at the outer edge of campus, replied they "never heard of the place." Lately, a security key has been placed ·on Barre Hall, but previously there was no way to prove that guards had patrolled the area. This security measure was taken on the insistance of O'Brien, a resident of the dormitory. Nestled in the Wyoming Valley, Wilkes had never been seriously plagued with security problems until recently.

Shaw was quick to reply that this year there have been "more apprehensions, and more immediate response from Delcontinued on page 3 SG Vievvs End Of CC ' A proposal made by the constitution committee to abolish Commuter Council as a separate organization met with heated opposition at the Student Government meeting Monday night. , Some disagreement existed between the committee's two principle members, Chairman Greg Black and Commuter Council President Dave Cherundolo, so the proposal was sent back to the committee for further deliberation. Cherundolo claimed that the proposal was to read that both Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council were to be abolished as separate organizations. When asked his view, IDC President Bruce Lear replied that he has received very negative reaction to the idea. The motion to send the proposal back to committee resulted in a tie after the first vote. It passed 10 to 8 on the second vote. The activities committee will take a request to Deans' Council on Monday to sponsor a concert featuring Poco and Fire Fall the weekend of November 12. Student Government gave the committee a vote of confidence to obtain a tentative hold on the two groups and present the request to Deans' Council. SG will vote on whether or not to sponsor the concert Monday night. The final letter from Attorney Louis Schaeffer regarding the court proc~edings against Fang Productions for damages to . the gym floor was read at the meeting. In the letter, Schaeffer recommended that the proceedings be stopped since "the damage was small" and there would be little chance of recovery. O'Brien advised that the body follow the recommendation of its attorney and it was decided without a vote to discontinue the proceedings. Maintenance CreW Not Idle Maintenance personnel have been accused by students of "not doing anything," but according to Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president, and Charles · Abate, business manager, that simply isn't true. "We're aware that things can be better," said Shaw, "and we'll never be satisfied. But we feel that progress is being made, and the tangible evidence of that will soon be noticed." Both he and Abate pointed to a large backlog of work orders that have hindered the efforts of Columbus Services International, the college's professional maintenance firm. They also noted that through a full-time preventive maintenance program ( a first for the college), Columbus is "taking care of breakdowns while also preventing breakdowns." By Wilma Hurst Preventive maintenance is not the type which is noticed, since it is done behind the scenes. The lack of such maintenance would be more apparent than its presence, according to the two administrators. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT Shaw explained the switch from a college-controlled maintenance system to a contractual arrangement when he said, " For some time we have recognized that the degree of sophistication required to maintain the ( 52 ) college buildings was very difficult for our maintenance to cope with. W'e began to look for alternatives." The alternative arrived as a contract with Columbus Services beginning August 1, 1976. Shaw said, "We realized what we had suspected - a lot of things had to be done which weren't being done." He said that priorities were set, beginning with the rehabilitation of dorms for the fall. A massive painting project got underway, consuming approximately 960 hours, as personnel painted for three weeks during the summer. In · apdition, according to summer work reports seen by The Beacon, a number of other repairs were made to the dorms, including cleaning, repairing broken furniture, replacing missing furniture, door knobs and light bulbs, and'performing a number of other jobs.

Stutts, who has been on the campus as an Artist in Residence, will present "A Journey Through the Mind with Edgar Allen Poe." Set in the mid-1800's, the show will include material gathered from the writings, criticisms, and letters of Poe himself. Between a commentary on the times, there will be a wealth of original Poe material, performed instead of merely read as Poe himself might have wanted to do. This is the third year that Stutts has been at the college portraying characters. Previo~ly, he has pr esented characterizations of Mark Twain. The young actor has been performing professionally since childhood and has had feature roles in movies, on television and in several stage productions. His most recent performances include a role in the recent film ''The Front Page," an appearance in NBC TV's "Adam 12" series, and is currently narrating for children's films produced through a government subsidized educational research corporation. In addition, Stutts frequently Brian Dykstra succeeded in bringing an "enjoyable and educational" evening to the twothirds capacity audience in the Center for the Performing Arts last Saturday. As part of the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture series, Dykstra presented "The Art of Ragtime," which included examples and information about the music and composers of ragtime. Dykstra was talented both in speaking and playing. His serious musicianship was obviously due to his excellent musical technique. He also presented his lecture material in an interesting and humorous way. The works of Scott Joplin were featured throughout the evening. However, Dykstra did perform works by other ragtime composers, including some of his own compositions. conducts theater workshops and is guest lecturer for college theater courses. . Monday's show is the third feature of the Concert and Lecture Series.

Wing of R.O.T.C., the Foreign Language Department, a program reviewing contemporary cinema by Dr. Seitz, and a show featuring Dr. Fall showcasing contemporary American composers, will begin with the new program schedule. Chase Prison and the Osterhout Free Library will also be adding programs to increase WCLH's educational and community oriented programming. Joining these programs will be programs returning from last year: Biological Perspectives, with Dr. Les Turoczi from the Biology Department and Educational Forum from Dr. Siles of the Education Department.

A yearly event held by Wilkes College, Parents' Day enables the parents of the students to become more familiarized with the faculty, the policies and the way of life at Wilkes. This year's Parents' Day was set up with an informal atmosphere. Guided tours of the campus were cancelled so the students could show their parents around themselves. Even though the weather was gray, the day started out with a merry tune. The song was called "The Bloomsburg State Blues" and was sung by the hurtin' Huskies as the Wilkes Colonels won by a score of 31 to 21. A good crowd, a team displaying good play execution, and much more spirit shown than at the dismal home opener made way for a beautiful afternoon for those at the college. A Post Game Huddle was held in the second floor ballroom at the Sterling Hotel. It was here that the parents got to meet the deans, teachers, and other parents. . A luncheon was supposed to be held but it was decided that Post Garn~ Huddle would be a better idea. Food and drinks were served while everyone had a good time. The day concluded with parents taking their sons and daughters out to dinner or taking in •iThe Art of Ragtimf' with Brian Dykstra in concert at the Center for the Performing Arts. A large crowd was entertained for nearly 90 minutes by Dykstra with the works of Scott Joplin and other greats of the ragtime era. Dykstra also played a few of his own compositions. It was an exciting, and at times, a relaxing day with football, music, parents and students getting to see each other for a short time before the future professionals start hitting the books once more. Security from page 1 Cap." Marchetti is presently in the process of rezoning the security areas on campus, and hopefully the new zones will be adopted. The new system is pending approval by Abate, Shaw, and Gene Manganello, personnel and systems coordinator. There has been much speculation by students whether the system will be revamped, or if the students are simply being appeased, until this crisis passes over. Abate replied, "We're in a position to take action. We rely on input, and can take action because we know the people that are involved with the security situation." It has been suggested in recent weeks that a partial solution to the security question may be to integrate campus, avoiding the total segregation of particular women 's dormitories, and thereby allowing them to stop being targets for wandering trouble makers. The Interdormitory eouncil has taken action by suggesting the establishment of an escort system to alleviate some of the fears of coeds.

He also said students know the college policy and "each person must take a risk." He added "There is no difficulty until somebody gets out of hand." He also stated, "I cannot be on record as an administrative head advocating drinking on campus." When questioned about the placing of a bar in the Student Union Building when policies against drinking exist, Capin said, "I don't think there will be any problem. My_understanding is that the parties will be kept under control." Concerning other campus issues, namely security and maintenance, Capin indicated he is aware of the students' dissatisfaction with · these programs. He said both problems are being e?Camined. Further commenting on student input involving campus issues, he said, ''Students can get involved in any aspect," and also indicated that he welcomes constructive criticism. "I don't hide from problems," he said, "But I hope students will not be pushed into certain actions without . allowing ft.s a full opportunity to make corrections. "For students to think we are not taking any ~ction .~s incorrect." I �; Security Situation ; Merits Ch~nges The weeks are quickly passing and we hear of more attacks more assaults and more exhibitionist incidents, coeds can be heard screaming at night scared out of their minds, and nothing seems to be changing. The question everyone seems to be asking is "What has happened to campus security? " · . · Over the past three years the Del-Cap security system has -protected the college and serious problems have b~en at a minimum. However, in the past couple of months, 1t seems that what was once effective, has lost its effectiveness. The situation has students wondering if they 'are safe to walk the campus after dark. What some people seem not to understand is that the state of affairs is not totally the result of the inefficiency of the security system. Three Del-Cap guards are responsible for the safety of 52 campus buildings and approximately 750 oncampus students. The job is a tremendous one for any organization. It takes several nigllts for a new guard to become familiar with the various buildings on campus, and the job is not one that holds an employee for a long period of time. The hours are long and the beat- exhausting. The Beacon suggests that a possible solution may be to hire male students on a work-study basis to compliment the security force. These students could work the hours that present the highest incidence of attacks, namely from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. . The students would be tnore familar with the campus layout, and would also have a personal committment to the security of fellow students. This is an aspect that cannot be expected from outside help. . · In the future , an entire security force could be hired from within the college, and perhaps a local detective or police chief could be brought in for orientations and briefings. This system ~ould save the college money and provide a safer more efficient method of providing for the safety of the students at Wilkes. And then everyone would know, "What has happened to secur ity? " - Volunteers Needed For Blood .Day · It is that time again when we are called upon to give something of ourselves to help others. · Blood Donor Day will be held on Tuesday, October 12, in the gymnasium. This is the perfect opportunity to display our humanitarian characteristics in an all-out effort to help our fellow' man. Giving blood is an effortless chore that doesn't take much time. The members of the Human Services Committee put a lot of time into making the day a productive one, it is up to us · to assist them. Many years the dedicated members of the committee end up begging people to avail themselves for the cause, help them out and volunteer. Last October the blood drive was an .overwllelming success.

Note nuxed upper case and lower case letters. The first graffiti reads "FRee Char lie Now! " How deeply touched I am to know that someone is thinking of me. Shades of Pr ince Albert ! The second reads, " PoliTicAl Power Grows out of The BArrel of A guN," and is attributed to MoA. My recollection is that the moas were exterminated by Maoris well before firearms were introduced into New Zealand. However, perhaps the word moa, can be used with a southern accent, as in "the moa the merriah." Suspectfully remitted, Charles B. Reif Maintenance ·-- Continued from Page 1 Beane, then project manager, he stated that "painting and general maintenance were lax to the point of being two to three months behind in work orders." He also noted that when Columbus . Services took over on August 1, it was informed that it had until August 26 to get the dorms in shape. ,_ Abate noted that 25 to 30 worK orders are generated each day. They must be carried out in addition to normal activities such as grounds and preventive maintenance. The Beacon was allowed to examine a two and one half inch stack of work orders completed by Columbus since August. The orders were of a varied nature, ranging from transfers to both large and small repair requests. In regard to work order priorities, Shaw and Abate said a job would be viewed in comparision to other work on campus and be given a priority status. They stressed that if the order is of low priority, the initiator of the order will be informed and be given a time frame in which the work will be completed. "No one will be left in the dark," said Shaw. STUDENTS FIRST PRIORITY The administrators asserted that students are first in the priority list, followed by faculty and administrators. They also commented that they " appreciate student input, and in fact, find it essential," as they ,tressed that they need student help to maintain the facilities . Abate also said he would like to receive complaints at the business office. "We're in a position to take action," he said. "We rely on input." Shaw and Abate noted that although individual maintenance men are the same ones employed by the college for years, the management of Columbus Services is expected to develop "systems" to aid •in the control and efficiency of the program. SPECIALISTS EMPLOYED They also pointed to the specialists involved on at least a par t time basis, including John Willard, a control specialist, and James Kerr, a professionai steam fitter. Project manager is Art Spellman. According to Kerr, a man who has impressive qualifications and experience in his field, there is room for improvement in the program, as the "follow-through can be better," but he agreed that the backlog has hurt. He also noted that many jobs are done before they are reported because maintenance men notice the need while on other jobs. Abate and Shaw also pointed out that maintenance personnel have inspected all buildings, noting the deficiencies, and have "begun chipping away on an enormous list" as part of the normal and preventive maintenance program. 1976'YEARBOOK The 1976 YearbOok has arrived.

Well, since I promised you a review in the first issue here are my observations. I've discovered that attending such concerts, and this is about my 11th, can be a rewarding experience. To get the most out of a rock concert follow these simple rules: 1. Buy your ticket the day they go on sale to avoid being a victim of the dreaded sellout. If the words General Admission are stamped on it, throw it away. But if you insist, proceed to step 2. 2. Take the week prior to the concert off from school. Go to the concert site and camp out in front of the door. This will assure you of g~tting a seat from which you may see _the group's amplifiers. 3. Basic concert gear includes a T-shirt saying "I Lov~ You (fill in the group's name here);" a Colonel-Cushion to relieve the pain in the rear; mittens to keep from getting the "clap-burn;" and an emergency flare to signal the group to come back for an encore. WIIBam Gasbarro Richard Chapllne Gasbarro And Chapline Return To Former Posts In Musical Orgoni%atiofts ✓ L Over the past few years the leadership of the Wilkes College Band and Chorus has changed hands many times. This year, however, one is assured that they are in good hands. Two long' , time members of the Wilkes family have come out of "retire,ment" from these groups to assume leadership once again. They are William Gasbarro, chairman of the music department, directing the band, and Richard Chapline, once again, taking charge of the chorus. Back in 1969, Chapline recalls his days as chorus director. The college had an enrollment of about 1200 'and chorus members numbered about 116 as compared to the 80 choristers today. "I remember rehearsing in the living room of . Gies Hall, which was located where the library now stands, and having the kids sneak out the back door into the Commons." At that time, the Wilkes Chorus had more non-music major members. Chapline feels the chorus is a Wilkes College organization and not restricted to music majors. He plans to bring that attitude back to the group. "I used to put a $5 ad in The Beacon informing students of that purpose. The way to build up the number is to bring back enjoyment of the music and not dwell so much on the perfection of the music. Without the joy of the music present, the purpose of the performance is destroyed." With this responsibility once again, Chapline is excited. He relates some of his most enjoying moments at Wilkes were found in his 18 years with the chorus. He also feels the broad contact with so many students is just great. Chorus comes at the end of two long days for Chapline, but he comes in with a fresh attitude. "You would think I'd be just exhausted by then, but chorus kind of gives me a jolt or charge that keeps me going for even more hours after that." Chapline finds coming back a real pleasure but adding to his delight is working once again with Christine Donahue, a 1974 Wilkes grad,uate, who will be featured as guest soloist in the upcoming concert. Chris, a Kingston native, is presently pursuing her masters degree in music atJulliard and is studying voice with Miss Rose Bampton who was formerly a Metropolitan Opera star. The Chorus concert, which will be Tuesday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. in the CPA, has a varied program. Beginning fhe first segment will be three pieces written by Benjamin Britten, two being from his opera, "Peter Grimes." The highlight of the program will be Schuberst "Miriam's Song of Triumph" which will feature Christine Donahue. Other songs include "Notes from Tom Paine," a piece commissioned by the J.C. Penney Co. for the Bicentennial and two pieces for Speaking chorus by Toch. Back in the spring of 1965, William Gasbarro became the director of the Wilkes Concert Band, a position which he held until 1969. In the fall of . 1976, Gasbarro is once again band director. This has created an almost impossible schedule for the department chairman. He sums up his present state in two words, "I'm busy." Gasbarro does not find too much of a difference in the bands of the past and the present one. It is still mixed with music majors and nonmusic majors and is almost the same size. The plans for the band this year include a more varied amount of literatqre to be performed and for the band to play a larger part in campus activities. The annual tour will also take place this year with band members visiting many Pennsylvania schools. Gasbarro, a Julliard graduate like Mr. Chapline, was instrumental director at Logan High School in Ohio and Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati before he came to Wilkes in 1958. He was appointed chairman of the department in 1964. The Wednesday, October 13th Band Concert promises to be a good one• The first segment of the program will be four selections including "A Festive Overture" by Alfred Reed; "Fanfare and Allegro" by. Clifton Williams; "Crown Imperial" by William Walton, and "Procession of the Nob!,es" which is a cortege from the opera-ballet Mlada of Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakov. · The second portion will be more contemporary and will contain "A Colonial Rhapsody" by Edward Madden ; William Schuman's "George Washington ~ridge;" "An American Folk Rhapsody, No. l " by Clare Grundman and finally "Dixie" a setting (or Concert band by Morton Gould. All concerts are in the CPA and are free of charge. 4. Other articles for the fans may be purchased. They include: football spikes in case you have to go to the littlegirl'sor boy's room and the seated crowd won't let you pass with ease; a "mini-JobJohnny" is handy' Hasbro's "Secret Agent Periscope" for viewing the barid when 500 fans in front of you stand,; and cotton to relieve pa:ih in the mid-ear if you are forced to sit in front of the 7-foot amp. 5. Now, if you must leave your seat for some unfortunate reason there are ways of finding your seat i.n the crowd. You could borrow North Dakota's banner from the 1972 Republican Convention. You could also ask your friends to streak in place so a spotlight shines on them. This will light your way back. You may also leave a trail of breadcru·mbs but this is not advised. 6. Now during the concert you must adhere to proper conduct. When the first group comes on, usually a well-known group like "Rocky and the Flying Squirrels," throw garbage on the stage to let the main group know you want them. "'· 7. When they finally come on, scream and yell so you cannot liear 1 the first song. They'll love it. ·. 8. During the course of the concert try to obtain a momento ~f the concert. A sweaty towel, a pant leg, or the left ear of the lead singer would be sufficient. 9. Try not to set the house on fire when you call for the encore. However it w_ould be a good way to get the person in front of you to move. 10. After the last encore, run like hell to your car. If you don't you will be trapped in the parking lot until sometime next month. This is really quite an exaggeration of what really did happen at the Hall and Oates concert, but since this is my column I have a few personal observations. (I also promised you some editorials or sermons in the first issue. ) Unless I missed the boat somewhere, the main reason for my attending that concert was to see and hear Daryl Hall and John Oates. Sure it's an experience to be a part of a wound-up crowd, but I find it hard to believe that the music itself wound-up more than half of that crowd. Even though there w;:is security present, there was evidence of beer and other "things ." Believe me, I'm not the temperance vigilante who condemns people for this, you know, "People who live in glass houses. . ." But believe me this is not the place. The music and the excitement of the performers is enough to give anyone a high. Bringing your own bottle or bag adds -to the amount of rowdyism. Remember our own $7000 mistake. .. There is also constant and unnecessary disruption of people needing the "johns." You are just plain bothering the people who want to be filled with the music and not something else. If you are not really "all there," then you can't love ttie music. If you don't love the music •then you don't belong there. You insult the performers by fooling them into thinking their act is turning you on. If you just can't live without it, then go and buy the album and a six-pack and retreat to your room and stereo. 'Nuff said. JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, Why did Mary Ellen pie~ off all the green tomatoes from her tomato plant? A.

He is 6-3, 210 and played tackle for the offensive unit. He left the team solely of his own will. Greg sited academic reasons as playing a large role in his decision to leave the team. But there is more to the story th an that. Greg started at tackle in the Colonel season opener at Indiana. He played virtually the entire game and when he reported to practice on Monday after the Colonels had lost, he found that he had been demoted to second string on the Wilkes depth charts. " I knew that I had missed a few plays during the Indiana gam_J=! and I was ready to come back to practice and work hard to correct the mistakes. But on Monday the coaches had me running with the second squad and no explanation was offered for my demotion, " stated Greg. "It was n' t the demotion that got me frustrated, it was the fact that no one informed me of it. If the coaches felt that one of the other linemen could do a better job than I was doing, it is their decision to make and I would have abided by it. The frustrating part of the situation was that I was n't informed of my status ," added Greg. The frustration and disappointment festered inside of Greg and the situation got worse instead of better. As t he Lycoming game grew closer, he still wasn't starting and decided to quit the team . after the loss to the Warriprs. He didn't inform the team's coaching .staff of-.his decision and just ... failed to attend any of the practice sessions. "I was hot about the way I felt I was being treated and since they weren' t communicating with me I didn't feel an obligation to let them know that I had quit," remarked Greg. Offensive Line coach Joe Moran was surprised and disappointed when he got word of Greg's decision through the grapevine. "I was unaware of any problem that Greg might have been having with myself or any of the other coaches. I was totally surprised when I received the word. " " He had a tough game at Indiana and we decided to give another kid a shot at the position against Lycoming. Our lineup is far from set and there are going to be personnel changes almost constantly until we find the right combination. No one on this entire team is guaranteed his job. We have a lot of young kids and we want to give them all a shot at the position openings," explained Coach Moran. "The coaches only spend a few hours a day with the members of the team. We aren' t mind readers. Our only judgement of a player is by his performance on the field. If he performs, he plays. It's as simple as that. If Greg had a problem, he should have come and talked to µs about it," continued Moran. The irony, sad though it may be, is that both parties desired better communication and yet neither did anything positive toward improving the _situation.

Bill had an outstanding game last week to firmly establish himself as the Colonels number one signal caller; at least temporarily that is. Slavoski picked apart the Warrior defense with his very accurate passes. He found Rob Irwin and Dave Fritges for TD's and also hit Larry Tarutis and Paul Wengen for substantial gains. Ronna Scores Hat Trick Colvi.n Kicks Misery Like A Bad ·H abit ···············~··················· Misericordi~ Scores Nun By Dotty Martin It was getting pretty nerve-racking Saturday morning ~t the Misericordia hockey field when Wilkes took 20 shots at goal in 33 minutes and didn't score. It was nerve-racking to the coaches, to the fans, but most of all to the players themselves. Then - it happened. With only one minute left in the first half, Ronna Colvin scored on an assist from teammate Penny Bianconi. And with that single goal, the junior transfer from Keystone Junior College took all the tension out of the air and fired her team to push on through the second half. In the first half, while Wilkes shot 20 times at goal, the Colonelette defense didn't allow their opponents to take one shot at the god. The Misericordia goalie had eleven saves. The second half saw a little more action than the first and with 10 :30 into the final half, Ronna Colvin scored again. Tt,is time the assist came on a beautiful pass from senior Kim Flis. Flis, a political science major from Meriden, Connecticut, played one of the best games of her four year career on the Wilkes hockey team. Then with 2.5 minutes into the second half, Ronna Colvin scored again! The assist came from freshman Marie Elko. So - with a total of three goals in one game, Miss Colvin was the 'star of the show.' The Wilkes record for individual goals in a single game is held by senior co-captain Penny Bianconi. Penny scored five times against Lycoming College in 1974. Julie Kerrick, playing hockey for the first year, added the fourth Wilkes goal with two minutes showing on the clock. The assist for this goal came from Marie Elko. Final score - Wilkes, 4; Misericordia, 0. This game ups the team's record to an amazing 6-1. In NPWIAA League play, they are presently sporting an unbeaten 3-0 record. The hockey team travelled to Kutztown on Thursday afternoon and had to fight their way through a pouring rain to make it to Kutztown's field. As Coach Gay Meyers, put it, "Rain couldn't stop us from playing, but it sure dampened our attack." The Wilkes women came home with a heartbreaking 3-0 defeat. Again, scoring the only goal for Wilkes was Ronna Colvin. The assist came fr.om freshman Geri Hoffman. Goalie Lee Ann Earl had 15 saves at the goal while Jean Johnson and Jerry Ann Smith did a great job on defense. Kutztown is traditionally a very tough team, but the Colonel girls evened their opponents play in the first half of the contest. But fouls and a slippery playing field hurt the girls too much. Coach Meyers commented, "Except for defensive l'\l.arking in the circle, we played alright. But we were always a half-step slow and Kutztown took advantage of that." The stick women will travel to Bloomsburg State College this afternoon and will play host to Lycoming College on Tuesday. Saturday will mark the halfway point in the Wilkes College gridiron schedule. The Colonels simply cannot lose another game if they entertain any serious hopes of grabbing the MAC title. The Colonels travel to East Orange, N.J. on Saturday to take on the undefeated Upsala Vikings in the beginning of a series of "must win" games for both teams. Every remaining Colonel opponent is in the MAC while Upsala is in much the same position. . A Wilkes football team hasn't lost to Ups_ala smce 1965 and the Colonels lead the 9 year series, 7-2. Upsala is currently sporting a 3-0 record and is much improved over the 5-4 team of a year ago. The Vikings trounced Swarthmore in their opener, 27-0 and followed up with a 24-11 upset of Susquehanna. Last week they spanked Madison FDU, 17-0. Head coach John Hooper has lost only two letterm en from last season arid as a result has a very experienced squad. He was voted "Coach of the Year" by the New Jersey sportswriters after leading the Vikings out of the depths of an 18 game losing streak which extended over three previous seasons. The Upsala forte is defense. Yielding only 11 points in three games thus far, they are rated third in the nation c\gafr:ist the rush. They are also solid against the passing attack with the secondary sporting 9 interceptions, led by Winslow Stilwell's 4 pilfers. Other defensive standouts inelude Joe Piazza (DB) who led the Vikings in interceptions last year, ends Gerry Cronin and Javier Martinez, and tri-captains Phil Mandato (DT) and John Kupfer (LB). The Viking offense isn't outstanding but they have been getting the job done and are averaging over 20 points a game. The quarterbacking is done mostly by Phil Castagna {12-24-168-3TD) .i Upsala likes to throw heavily to the backs and tri- · captain Ron Forino and Sam Otshiro are the big threats from the backfield. Kevin Waters leads the ground · game with 181 yards on 49 carries. The Colonel offense finally seems to have found itself. Bill Slavoski turned in an outstanding game last week. His leadership from the quarterback slot ~eems to have pulled the previously weak Colonel attack together. Ed Murray had his most effective rushing day of the season following some crushing blocks by Ed D' Amico. The offensive line also looked very good with Andy Contos turning in a super effort. They will have to have a great day this Saturday if the Colonels expect to win. The Wilkes "Big D" received a big blow after last week's game when it was discovered that Don Williams (DT) will be out of the lineup indefinitely with a neck injury. Jim Mosier will replace Don at tackle. Williams had been having a superb campaign and just how much he will be missed is a question that remains to be seen. The inexperienced Wilkes secondary received the biggest test of the year last week versus the '.'Canzler-Brennan Connection" of Bloomsburg. They yielded quite a bit of yardage but were very tough inside the 20 yard line and came up with 6 interceptions.. The Colonel linebacking crew will be tested by the Upsala practice of passing to the backs and Tony Couto, Don McDermott, John Lack, and Vince Savoca will be perhaps the key to a Wilkes victory. Boaters Fail To Shut The Dooer By Eddie White It was a dark, rainy, overcast afternoon. The next fifteen minutes of play was one of Sound like the beginning of a horror movie? It was for the Wilkes Soccer team. The Colonels were defeated by Lycoming College, 3-2, in a rain drenched game at Ralston Field on Saturday. Before you could say, "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman,"' Lycoming was on the board with the first goal of the game. Freshman Gary Dooer, (remember the name), took a pass from Rick Edgar and slipped it past the Colonel goalie. Five minutes later Dooer again scored to put the Warriors up, 2-0. Junior Erman Lepley assisted. With five minutes left in the first half, Wilkes tallied their first goal by way of the "Frosh Connection." Freshman Joe Picone took a pass from fellow freshman Tim Reynolds and cut Lycoming's lead to one. The Blue and Gold struck first in the second half when junior Len Vekkos scored an unassisted goal at the. 15 :30 mark.

He completed his " hat trick" when he received a pass from captain Pat Cerillo and fired it in. Colonel senior co-captain Bill Nardone turned in another steady game as goalie. He recorded 15 saves. This gives him a total of 100 in four games, and a good shot at all MAC goalie.

The event is held to encourage parents of both commuter and resident students to visit the campus and take part in some activities with their son or daughter. · All-day open house, women's tennis, football, the "Post Game Huddle", at the Hotel Sterling, and the Concert and Lecture Series presentation of Brian Dykstra in concert are the special events- planned for the day. Unlike past years, the schedule is not strictly regimented. Dean George Ralston commented, Concerts In Gym Possible This Year A unanimous vote of confidence to pursue concert possibilities was given to the Student Government social committee Monday night. The vote was taken after some discussion regarding the feasibility of having a major concert this semester and a review of the groups available. Even though the administration threatened last year to disallow future concerts in the gym due to the damage caused during a rock concert last year, the Deans' Council reviewed and recommended favorably a request by SG to hold a concerJdance in the . gym for the Homecoming Weekend. , Since that time, plans have been changed and no concert is presently scheduled, but the recommendation illustrates that concerts are a possiblity on campus, provided that they are approved individually by the administration. It was reported that a bulletin board that was purchased at the beginning of the semester for the Commons area has still not been installed by maintenance. Gina O'Brien stated that a complaint concerning the lack of ~~operation from maintenance in 'this matter was taken to President Capin last week. President Capin reportedly assured her that maintenance would have the bulletin board installed by Friday or he and his son would install it themselves Friday afternoon. O'Brien also informed the body that it would be receiving a letter from Attorney Lou Schaeffer, who is handling the litigation over the gym damages, stating his final position on the court proceedings. The letter will be read at the Student Government meeting Monday night and the body will vote at that time whether or not to continue the proceedings. "there is no designation, but rather encouragement. We're not burdening the parents with a program, we're just encouraging them to visit the campus with their son or daughter." He also noted that the afternoon game with Bloomsburg will feature the parents and is free of charge to parents if accompanied by a student. The purpose of the day, according to Dean Ralston, is to enable parents " to feel more involved with education and know more about the college. Education is a cooperative venture and with parents involved and familar with the process, we think it's a little better. " Although past experience has shown that more resident students' parents have participated in the annual event, Ralston, stated that the event is held for all parents, and he- encouraged area students and parents to come on Saturday. The " Post Game Huddle" which will follow the afternoon athletic events is designed as an " informal get-together " of parents, students, faculty and administrators. Refreshments and a cash bar are included. The second attraction of the college's Concert and Lecture Series will feature "The Art of Ragtime" with Brian Dykstra in concert on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. This evening of lecture and piano rags will include the works of Scott Joplin, Max Morath, Eubie Blake, James Johnson, Joe Lamb, Scott James, and Dykstra's own classic recordings as well as his famous "The Ciaro Rag." Dykstra is one of many who was carried into the musical world of Scott Joplin by the Wave of renewed interest in ragtime that began around 1970. This resulted from the use of some of Joplin's music in the soundtrack of the film "The Sting." . Dykstra's interest in ragtime led to the composition of several "jazz rags." During a trip to · Egypt in 1972, "The Ciaro Rag" was written, in 1973 followed by the "Salt Creek Township Rag" and in 1974 by "The World's Greatest Grin." The latter was inspired by his three-year-old daughter. Dykstra has presented ragtime programs on many college and university campuses, has composed 10 rags, and has made recordings of ragtime. When not involved in these activities, he teaches piano, American music, and other subj~ts at th~ College_ of Wooster ~nd gives classical . . · piano recitals which emphasize contemporary music. Dykstra holds degreees from the Juilliard and Eastman Schools of Music, and he had also studied at the Mozarteum Academy in Salzburg, Austria on a Fulbright Grant in 1967 and 1968. .j.·•.. Brian Dykstra Over 4000 Invited Inauguration October 24 The Trustees and Faculties • of Wilkes College request the honor of your participation in the Inauguration of Robert 5. Capin as President of the College on Sunday, October the twenty-fourth Nineteen hundred and seventy-six at half past one o'clock Wilkes College Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania On Sunday, October 24 at 1:30 p.m., Robert S. Capin will be inaugurated as the third president of Wilkes College. Capin took over unofficially as President last May. Before that he served as acting president for one year, following the resignation of past president Dr. Francis J . Michelini. Over 4000 invitations have been sent out. One representative for every college on the east coast has been invited along with trustees, students, alumni and frientls of the college. According to protocol the representatives of the. colleges will march in academic garb, in -accordance with their year of establishment, from the CPA to the gym. At 3: 30 a reception is planned for Mr. and Mrs. Ca pin in the soon-to-be dedicated Arnaud C. Marts Courtyard. An all-college assembly is scheduled for Thursday, October 21 at 11 a.m. At. this time, President Capin will have his first opportunity to address the entire student population. He will be awarding service awards to various Wilkes 'employees and will be naming professors emeriti. This honor is bestowed upon fa culty members wl'jo have spent many years and countless hours of dedication with the Wilkes College family. Eighteen persons are to receive the honor. Ragtime music was sculptured into its characteristic shape by the hands of countless black pianists in Midwestern red-light districts in the 1890's. It has its greatest impact on the nation in 1899 when Scott Joplin, then 31, was able to get his "Maple Leaf Rag" published. Soon afterward, Joplin was heralded everywhere as the "king of ragtime." His work has served as the inspiration for other composers of rags. Blood Day October 12 Blood Donor Day will be held Tuesday, October 12, in the gymnasium. The · first of two donor days held each year, the event is sponsored by the Human Services Committee ·in conjunction with the American· Red Cross. This year's goal is to break the 30(1 pint total which was set last year. The total represented a new Wilkes record. Awards will again be given to the male and female dorms and club which has the greatest percentage of members donating blood. ' Human Services is encouraging everyone to come to the gym and volunteer to give blood, even if there is a possibility you may be rejected. �;career Library Expands ;so. u rces Of Information ....

"The purpose of this library is for the student to read brochures and learn about the company and its requirements," according to John Chwalek, director of Guidance and Placement. The library will soon contain twelve casettes which will help the student in settiF1g his goals. Chwalek also plans to add audiovisual equipment to further aid the students. " What we have now is adequate," said Chwalek. "The lmportant thing is that for students to get career counseling, all they have to do is come to see me." · In addition to the library, which will hopefully be nefit the students , Chwalek plans to hold career seminars later in the semester. The career library is located at the rear of the Guidance· and Placement Office, in the Parrish parking lot. It is open 8: 30 a .m . to 4: 30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Classes for those interested in jumping will also be arranged. Experience is not required but hard hats, hard-soled shoes or riding boots, jeans or riding breeches are. These and other attire may be purchased at the Halter House on the Center grounds. Melissa S. Cobourn, coofdinator of the program, puts an _N ationally Known Speed .Reading Course To Be WILKES-BARRE 1 free, one hour, orientation lectures have been scheduled. At these free lectures the course will be explained in complete detail, including classroom procedures, instruction methods, class schedule a nd a special one time only introductory tuition that is less than one-third the cost of similar courses. You must attend any of the meetings for information about the Wilkes-Barre classes. These orientations are open to the public, above age 14, (persons under 18 should be accompanied by a parent if possible). If you have always wanted to be a speed reader but fou nd the cost prohibitive or the course too time consuming ... now you can! Just by attending one evening per week for just 4 short weeks you can read 7 to JO times faster, concentrate better and comprehend more. If you are a student who would like to make A·s instead of B's or C's or if you are a business person who · wants to stay abreast of today's everchanging accelerating world then this course is an absolute necessity. Diamonds VANSCOY Dmmond Salon Gateway Shopping Center (Near Jewelcor ) Taught Here In Wilkes-Barre (S pec. )-U nited States Reading Lab will offer a 4 week course in speed reading to a limited number of · qualified people in the WilkesBarre area. This recently developed method of instruction is the most innovative and effective program available in the United States. Not only does this famous course reduce your time in the class room to just one class per week for 4 short weeks but it also includes an advanced speed reading course on casse tte tape so that you can continue to improve for the rest of your life. In just 4 weeks the average student should be reading 4-5 times faster. In a few months some students are reading 20-30 times faster attaining speeds that approa.c h 6000 words per minute. In rare instances speeds of up to 1:1,000 wpm have been documented. Our average graduate should read 7-10 times faster upon completion of the course with marked improvement in comprehension and concentration. For those who would like additional information, a series of emphasis on the fact that the beginners are welcome and in good hands since "safety first"is a main policy at the stable. Groups will be formed, equipment can be purchased and students will "meet the horses" at the first introductory lesson and orientation meeting. To get there, go north on 309 to St. Jude's corners.

News only possesses ~ 1l~dn uch energy and enthusiasm as the individual reader puts '!!}to. the facts as they a re reported. jl .:; ~ , , The Beacon is aware that there are two problems ap-· parent on campus in the name of security and maintenance. We have attempted to view these problems from both sides ~!;}ct report the facts (ie. the attempted rape story). Stories ,become twisted when misinterpreted, or when taken into hands of people not entirely in control of the facts. At no time were there "six streakers on campus," and according to Joe Marchetti, director of housing, all the locks at Doane could not be opened by an ID card. Although " our drab unoriginal stories," won The Beacon first place in the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association Newspaper Contest, we ha ve not been satisfied but continued to do our best to report news as it happens. The guidelines of July 1968 that were set for The Beacon are a very r outine set of standards that are totally open and flexible to individual interpretation. They do not in any way "eliminate any type of investigative repor ting" nor do they "provide for any censorship." Rather these guidelines protect the paper aga inst any type of libel s uit, and lead the path to a reputable level of journalism. The Beacon is proud of the fact that it remains a voice of the campus and therefore welcomes comme nts and criticisms, adverse and complimentary, as concerns ea ch and ev:ery publication. We attempt to keep our lines of comm unication open with all levels of the Wilkes College community. (jo?

Listed on the charges on the ticket are failure • to have a parking permit, and parking in a restricted lot. There was no space in the lot I am supposed to park in, because the spaces were filled with illegal parkers. My permit also was in full view. I would appreciate it if the school would either totally enforce the rules they il)still or abandon the entire procedure. _By ticketing cars in the morning, students know that they can • park wherever they want after noon. Students that have applied for and have received parking permits deserve the righ~to park on campus. Sincerely. "Ready to Break A Parking Gate" Beacon Seen Lacking Energy To The Editor: Having had the opportunity to peruse your first three journalistic endeavors, we have come to the conclusion that something is lacking. First of all, we personally feel The Beacon is somewhat lacking in organization. However, since we really have no expertise in this field other than our observations of other newspapers, we shall m,ake no further comment. Two other points, however. do stand out in our minds. The first is the lack of energy and enthusiasm in The Beacon reports with which to motivate change . The second, which ties in with this is the lack of intestigative reporting to uncover and resolve hidden or controversial issues of concern to students. These two points are clearly illustrated by two problems which are quite apparent on campus: security (or lack of same ) and maintenance responsiveness. Since school began, there has been over six reported streakers, attacks, or assaults on campus. To us, this indicates a grave security problem of great concern to the Wilkes College student body. However, The Beacon mentioned only two of these incidents. The Beacon seems to take no repsonsibility for either finding out about the facts or bringing them to the attention of the student body. A second case involves the back doors on Doane Hall, a dormitory where an assault took place the week before classes started. Ac cording to Doane residents, the locks could be easily opened with an I.D. card. However, new locks were not installed until the week of September 20, nearly a month later. _It seems to us that The Beacon has a responsibility to the student body which supports it. It has a responsibility to bring out issues of concern to the student body _and follow them through to resolution. The only way to do this is to have energetic, investigative reporting with The Beacon taking the ·initiative instead of the drab, unoriginal articles we so often see. In studying this problem with The Beacon, we obtained a copy of guidelines set for · The Beacon. These guidelines have been in effect since July 1968. Much to our surprise, we found that The Beacon is presently doing everything it is supposed to do under these guidelines. Therefore, our argument is not so much against The Beacon as it is against the guidelines. A big question that enters our minds, ~owever, is why The Beacon itself is not fighting to change these very limiting guidelines . Tlie guidelines, besides eliminating the kind of investigative reporting we have already supported, also provide for censorship. To illustrate the censorship matter, we shall quote 'the guidelines. One guideline states, " It is necessary that a college newspaper avoid criticisms of individuals of institutions when such criticisms would adversely affect the college's ability to be an effective instrument in the growth of the community at large. " At first glance, this statement may appear harmless ; however , it actually amounts to censorship. To use a purely hypothetical example , the newspaper would be unable to criticize an administration member who was not adequately performing his duties since this exposure may hurt the college's public image and affect its impact on the community. It makes no difference that the article might force the person (who is actually hurting the college and community since he is not performing his duty ) from office and bring about the hiring of an individual who would perform his duties more than adequately and be a real asset to the college. The Beacon, under its present guidelines, would be unable to act. The Publications Committee is now -in the process of reviewing the guidelines of all student pub!ications, - including The Beacon. We hope the committee members w,ll see. fit to provide the necessary cha nges that will allow The Beacon to come to life. We think it would be a good idea if The Beacon published its present guidelines · for · all to see so · students could make their views know n. We also hope The Beacon has the enthusiasm, energy, spirit, and journalistic professionalism to push for these changes so it can fulfill its responsibility to the Wilkes College studen~ body. Signed, : Steven Esrick David W. Evans State OJ SUB Is Ups~tting To the Editor : Recently it has come to my attention that the Student Union Building (SUB ) is to be dedicated to Peter Jadelis. Most people on campus probably don 't remember Peter, however I knew him fairly well. Peter was S.G. president during my freshman year , and was one of the hardest working and most dedicated S.G. presidents I have known. I think Peter would be insulted and hurt if he saw the present condition of the SUB. All of the sweat and dreams that went into the SUB are slowly sinking into the Susquehanna. Even if you just wander into the building you can not fail to notice the decor , I believe they call it " Early American Salvation Army." True , the basement has been painted and "I bar installed, but to what end? Perhaps a pub, if the drinking age is ever lowered, but how can you ever have a campus pub with no food ? The stereo system is in a continued on page 6 ff �Inno,rative Theatre Students THE WIZARD OF WAZ-: Add~fxpertise To 'Godspell' ·• By Lisa Waznik The Secrets In The Stars Linda Abbey has wanted to be a part of the musical theater since as far back as she could remember. The Tunkhannock resident "just gets goosebumps" when she hears the overture of a musical. She has had roles in the past Wilkes musicals " Fiddler on the Roof, " " Canterbury Tales," and "Sing Out, Sweet Land" and is presently Raina in " Arms and The Man. " " It's so nice to see some new faces at these tryouts. It's so encouraging not to see the same group. We had 36 people try out for a 10 member cast. That 's just great! " · And finally that sea soned veteran Randy Smith from Steeleton, who is working on th~ set design, feels this is a step in the right direction. " I'm so glad the class could do a show this size. It really lets you show off your individual talents more while working in a group." Randy has been a part of just about every Wilkes production in the last four years but particula rly likes directing and acting. In the future he plans to organize his own repertory compan y and work in the professional theater. · STUDENT DIRECTORS - Pictured here are the members of Workshop 80 who will be responsible for the production of "Godspell" on November 19, 20, and 21. Seated are Linda Abbey and Vickie Moss. Standing a~ Dian"1e Lacava and Randy Smith. " The hardest part of this entire production will be.to find ten people who never met to love each other, and that's the only way it will work." · So said Randy Smith, one of four senior English Theater Arts majors who make up Workshop 80. As part of their Theater Arts 380 class, this class has decided to put on a major production instead of the usual one-ac' , cha~ past classes have dQne. The joint effort of Workshop 80 , will present the student production of Stephen Schwartz's "Godspell." " Godspell' is a musical based upon the gospel according to St. Matthew and deals with Christ's teachings set to modern times and music on a limited stage. With some supervision of Theater Chairman Al Groh, class members are otherwise completely in charge. They work together in directing, casting, set design, lighting, staging and r ehearsals. In other words , they're the •" bosses" . This plan for the three credit course was not spur of the moment. Randy and his cohorts Vickie Moss, Dianne LaCava , and Linda Abbey have tossed this idea around since last March. It will become a reality November 19, 20 and 21. Dianne Lacava, who also double majors in Spanish, is from Danbury, Connecticut. She had been make-up head and assistant stage manager in past Wilkes productions but considers her responsibility for the props in "Hot 1 Baltimore" her most important job. She also played Nurse Flynn in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." Dianne, who plans to teach English as a second language after graduation, finds having the whole responsibility on four directors very challenging. "Pm really looking foward to the team effort for the four of us and the cast. " Vickie Moss, a resident of Mountaintop, is another familiar face from the theater. Besides being assistant stage manager and costume designer, Vickie has had major roles in " Cuckoo's Nest," "Hot 1 Baltimore", and her most recent and favorite role of Louisa in " The Fantasticks." Vickie, who is very serious about the theater, plans to attend acting school after Wilkes and continue in singing and acting. She presently sings with a local group " Just Passin' Thru." " It's just great! I'm so excited about " Godspell. " It will be fun to work on and the end product will be just marvelous!" The basic theme of " Godspell" is hard to pinpoint. But this group feels it centers around love. The action takes place on a metallic, cold set with minimal props. The plan is to show the love of God in this cold barren place, just as it must be shown in the cold world. With so much experience and initiative " Godspell" is sure to be a success. But more important the cooperation of the cast and the directors will make " Godspell" unique. LIBRA: You are basically a "well-ba lanced" person. Weigh each decision carefully befor e you make it.

Tennis balls were flying in all directions Friday morning on the courts in Kirby Park, as two inexperie nced, yet hopeful , sophomore elementary education majors had their first tennis lesson. On the two previous Fridays, rainy weather had forced ey_ents into the gvm. Along with the other members of their phys. ed. class, they confronted the courts with enthusiasm. Almost everybody involved had some knowledge of the proper way of playing the sport. The first thing to learn was how to serve. This was accomplished by one person throwing the ball over the net and the other hitting it back. However, this became extr em ely embar rassing and frustrating for tfiese two aspiring teachers, turning into a steady process of retreiving lost balls, missing serves and dodging the shots of fellow players. During these exhaustive maneuvers, one of the duo involved suddenly screamed "Wait a minute!" " Hold On!" " The face is gone". Her partner immediately thought she had been struck in the head with a stray ball and went over to investigate. Upon arriving she discovered her baffled friend staring down at her watch - but only the crystal and band of the watch, which is one of those new ones resembling a bracelet, r emained-the rest of the watch was gone ! After searching the immediate vicinity for a minute or so they discovered the "missing face" three feet from the net, still ticking away the seconds. As nonchalantly as possible, the owner walked over , picked up the rest of the watch, and snapped it back into place. Only now did she realize she had forgotten to remove it at the beginning of the class. · After recovering from a mild case of hysterics and laughter, the two went back fo their endeavors of learning to play a decent game of tennis. When the glass was finally over, the pair became painfully aware of the fact that it would be a long time and many more hours of practice before they could be proud of their tennis abilities. Okay, so Billie Jean King and Chris Evert they weren't, but everyone has to start somewhere, don''t they? f Cl1 �; Soccer Tealll Gains A F elllale i:i. By Jubie Pokrlacbak Maris Solomon staying and keeping in shape helps school work. The junior biology major from Massapequa, New York, is a member of the College soccer team. Maris became involved with the soccer team during her freshman year at Wilkes. For two years, the Susquehannock Hall resident has kept score for the team and handled the managerial duties. This y~ar, she volunteered to become the soccer team 's student trainer. The guys on the.. team had another idea and informed the pretty co-ed she had run out of excuses and it was about time she learned how to play the game. Since the beginning of the . soccer season, Maris has been doing drills and running along with the guys. The co-ed even had a ch~nce to play in the first game of the season against tffe Alumni on September 11. She went in with the rest of the second string. Until this year, Maris had never played soccer. However she did comment, " I fell in lov; with soccer the first time I saw a game." Maris is also a member of the Wilkes swim te~m and has been since her freshman year. In discussing the swim team, she · explained she had been swimming · since a very early age because her both parents were involved with lt. Her father was a lif~gua~d ~nd her mother , swrmmmg mstructor. Originally, Maris joined the . swim team with the idea of improying her swimming and not really of competing. Once on the team, though , her attitude chqnged and she did compete. As far as her participation with . the soccer team, Maris said, "Most of the guys are being really good about it." She also mentioned she was not trying to set a precedent by going out for the team. a intramural sports and has played or at least tried most of them. When asked how her interest in athletics developed, Maris stated " I grew up in Brooklyn and you play with one of two things, stickball or dolls. I rejected the dolls and picked up the stickball bat." Even though practice requires a time commitment, Mar is budgets her time. "I put in as much time studying as possible." The increased physical activity from playing soccer has helped her concentration and perception , in class. "It'~goodfor the mind as well as the body. '.' _ Maris feels sports like soccer allow a person to learn his own capacities and endurance. To Maris, sports are an integral part of her college years, but studies do · come first. The rookie soccer player hopes to· be accepted to medical school when she graduates from Wilkes. Security Improvements Topic Of Discussion Security was discussed for the third straight meeting by the Inter-Dormitory Council Sunday . night. A report from the Student Life Committee said that a spot car has been added to the three security guards. Police dogs also have been roaming the campus late at night and an additional guard was mentioned as being added to the security force . Rezoning of the campus security areas has not been completed but • it is still being worked on. An escort service may be set up as a security measure for the girls. Boys would be put on work study from around nine o'clock to one o'clock and take calls from girls who need an escort around campus. Bruce Lear IDC President, said this syst~m has not been too successful in the past, so a tight-organized system will be set up. This escort service should be available soon. Also reported from the Student Life Committee were reports on . maintenance and the alcohol policy. To many complaints and back orders are the reasons why maintenance is so far behind. A meeting with Mr. James Kerr of Columbus Service was reported and a new system will be set up. For the alcohol policy, Lear said the administr ation has been pleased with the way parties at the Student Union Building have · been running and saw no reason why they should not continue. It was reported that a schedule has been set for the girls use of the exercise room. The girls may use the room on Thursdays at 1: 00 to 4: 00 and on Sundays from 7: 00 to 10: 00. Informal instruction is offered to the girls who need it. It is also up to the girls using the room if the guys can be allowed to use it at the same time. No . schedule has been set up for the use of the saun·a by the girls, so permission must still be sought through the Athletic department. from page 4 Marls Solomon "I haven't noticed any negative reactions," commented Maris when asked how her teammates felt. She did say some of the spectators were a little shocked. Since she has only played against · the Alumni, so far , there was no real surprise from her opponents, many of whom she knew from working with the team in the last two years. Maris is not the only girl in the conference. She did state there is a girl on a soccer team at another school. Throughout her high school years, Maris was involved with PHOTO T- SHIRTS IN FULL COLOR shambles; although I understand a new system has been ordered. I wonder if it will be versatile enough to accommodate the sound from the movie projector ( or will all our films be seen with the sound emanating from a 4" ·speaker ). Or will it be adaptable for theatrical purposes? Or how about some of the coffee house musicians' equipment? Another interestmg mess is the ex-lighting system for the stage. The control board is in a state of disrepair and the spot lights are missing. The wiring, however, is quite conspicious against the lovely champagne beige walls. I could go on, however I'm quite embarreued at' the moment. It should be obviousthat the SUB has been subject to the whims and fantasies of people who have no foresight. If any thought was given to future planning the SUB would not have to be torn apart and put back tog ether every time a new director comes into power. Peter Jadelis had a dream for the SUB. A dream which he knew would not become a reality for him, although he layed the foundation (almost literally) for future Wilkes students. Even the best dreams become stagnant and corrupt if they are not continually renewed. I hope' our student leaders remember how to dream, as Peter did, for the future and not for themselves.

Now that the mellowness of autumn has engulfed us, we realize that the prediction was accurate. Albright and Juniata were co-favorites to cop the cup at the beginning of the season. Upsala and Lycoming were given the darkhorse roles with outside chances given Susquehanna Wilkes, and Delaware Valley. Little has happened to change that outlook although Albr ight appears to be in the best shape after the early going. The Lions opened their MAC schedule with tw~ 'of the tougl:Jest opponents right in the beginning of the year.They were lucky to survive. They rallied with 20 fourth quarter points and overtook Lycoming in the opener. The following week was like the frying pan to the fire when they squeeked past Juniata, 15-13. Despite the closeness of their two conference matches thus far, they will be THE 1978 WILKES WOMEN'S TENNIS TEAM - From left, first row, Sharon Wilkes, Cindy Yablonski, Maria Klimchak, Debbie Welliver, Joann Pugliese, Rose McMahon, Judy Bellas, and Merle Zipkin.

After winning their first game of the young season in overtime, the Colonels suffered a 4-3 loss to the Bloomsburg St. Huskies, Saturday morning at Ralston Field. Bloomsburg opened the scoring when freshman Toby Rank took a pass from Jim Mailey and scored at 5:30 of the first half. Two minutes later freshman sensation, Tim Reynolds knotted the score with his third goal of the sQllson. He was unassisted. The Blue and Gold took the lead when junior Tony Apostolaros, a 5-9, 165 pounder from Trenton, N.J. , scored an unassisted goal at the ~ :25mark ' The Huskies of Coach Louis Mingrone came back with six minutes left in the half, freshman Jim Mailey scored to tie the game at 2-2. Ken Curcio assisted on the play. The first fifteen minutes of the second half belonged to Bloomsburg. Sophomore Tim Delp took a pass from Rank and fired a shot passed the Colonels' goalie, 5:13 into the period. Mario Apuzzo, a 5-6, 155 pounder from Jamesburg, N.J ., scored on a pass from Apostolaros at 17 :00. Coach Eaton's charges were tied again at 3-3. At 31 :15 Mailey scored his second goal a nd finished the scoring for the day. Rank assisted on the play. One bright spot for the-Colonels was the defensive play of senior co-captain goalie Bill Nardone. The " Bernie Parent of the Wilkes Campus" collected 25 saves. He now has 40 for the season. Mark Ritter, Joe Picone, Len Vekkos, and co-captain Panos Kalarits had good games on defense. The Colonels will meet the Lycoming Warriors at 3 :00 tomorrow at the Ralston Soccer Field.. -White- Turley AppointetJ , New The Wilkes College Swidiming Team has a new coach announced Athletic Director John Reese recently. The new mentor . is -Ken Turley, a well known swimming official locally and a 1965 graduate of Wilkes College. He has been appointed the head of the Colonel aqua program for the 1976-77 season.

Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 717-829-1089 �00 ~ ~ Q., co : GRI DDERS AWAIT BLOOMSBURG; iPAR~NTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED . ~ By Jeff Acornley Q, ~ This Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field the Wilkes College football team has an excellent chance to post victory number one. Of course they've had two excellent chances I already and failed to cash in on either of them, so let's set the tone of the outlook as one of guarded optimism. The opposition will be the Huskies of Bloomsburg State College. They are currently 1-2 on the year, losing two squeakers. They opened with a 21-12 loss to Shippensburg and the following week were edged by Lock Haven, 12-10. But last week they roared into the winning column by walloping Mansfield by a score of 28-7. The Huskies are under the guidance of firstyear coach Ron Puhl wro has installed a newfound spirit at Bloomsburg and the lower Susquehanna River team has looked impressive in a ll three of its games thus far into the season. The Huskies were far from impressive last seqson as they posted a 1-8 log, including a 41-19 laugher to Wilkes which wasn'L as close as the final score indicated. The only Huskie victory was a 9-8 win over Lock Haven. · The Huskie defense appears to have been improved tremendously. Last year they were scored on a rate of 32.5 points a game. It is awful hard to win games with a defense giving up more points than the offense can possibly score. Obviously, this was Puhl's top priority and he has succeeded in bringing the average down to a somewhat reasonable 14 points a game. The defense is anchored by All-Pennsylvania r:onference first team defensive back, Lou Sannutti. The Bloomsburg offense also seems drastically improved. They scored only an average of 6.2 points per outing last season and were shut out four times. A freshman quarterback is the basic reason for the turn around made by the offense. Mike Canzler is a passer Harriers Shut and if his three game stats are any indication, he will be a good one. Canzler is 33~6 for a 50% completion average and they were good for 554 yards and two touchdowns. His prime receivers are Tom Brennan (13-313), Barry Staton ( 7-139) , and Mike Steigerwalt (6-54 ). The big problem for the Huskies so far has been the lack of an effective running game. Sound familiar? Tony Moore has been the leading rusher with only 108 yards on 26 carries. On the other hand are the Colonels. After dropping the opener to Indiana , the Blue and Gold again fell prone to costly errors against Lycoming. They were down 21-3 in the fourth quarter and beat themselves with costly mistakes and some questionable play calling. Once the Colonels went to the air against the nations's top rated Lycoming defense, things started to happen. Unfortunately, it happened too late as the clock ran out with the Colonels driving for the winning score. The quarterback position appears to have been won temporarily by Bill Slavoski. He hit seven of 14 passes in the fourth quarter while directing the Colonels to two TD's. All three of the Wilkes quarterbacks have looked good in brief fl11shes of brilliance but none has been very consistant. The Blue and Gold "Big D" again turned in a superb outing. Two of the Warrior scores were caused by the Colonel offense due to a blocked punt and a fumble. The key to the contest appears to hinge on the Colonel defense. They set the stage for 10 of the Colonel points last week, coming up with four . fumbles and constantly performing the big play. If the Wilkes defense can stop the Huskie passing game, the Colonels shouldn't have any trouble breaking into the win column. By Jeff Acornley It was a great moment in Wilkes athletics. The coach had a grin on his face that was as wide as all outdoors. The athletes had the look of determination and the knowledge of a job well done. Their sweaty faces were pink from exhaustion. Their feet were wnite with blisters. But ignoring the groans of the body, they were estatic with joy. ' This had been more than a cross country meet. Wilkes had won this meet and had won big. The first :rx places were captured by Colonels in the 15-45 victory over a stunned Baptist Bible team. Last Friday afternoon at Kirby Out Park, Coach George Pawlush felt a satisfaction that he hasn't felt too often at the helm of the Wilkes cross country program. The victory was sweet. "I feel just super!" exclaimed Pawlush. " Losing season after season was very frustrating and after last year, I was ready to hang it up. Losing 70 matches in the past 6 seasons is no picnic I assure you." "Last season was especially frustrating because I thought that we had finally gotten it together, but after the dust cleared we were 1-12 and right back where we ·started from." Things have happened since FRESHMEN CAN BE FUN-Coach George Pawlush is surrounded by young freshmen on this year's edition of the Cross Country Colonels and seldom is heard a discouraging word. "This is the best group young men I have ever worked with in my entire coaching career," exclaimed Pawlush. Now if they would only stop tripping on their shoe laces. of BB last fall. Most importantly was the matriculation of the finest crop of freshmen runners in the history to the college. They have tremendous potential. The Colonels copped the first six places in Friday's meet and all six of those runners are underclassmen. Pacing the pack is freshman sensation Dave Boris from GAR High School. Dave is the most talented of the harriers and has the perfect attitude to go with all that talent. He toured the 4.8 mile Kirby Park course in 27: 35, just 22 seconds off the course record Following closely behind Boris was junior Dan Rittenhouse, a transfer from LCCC. Only 4 se1.:onds behind Rittenhouse was freshman Don Patrick and only 9 seconds behind him was a_nothe·r freshman Vince D' Am1:1to. Yet another freshman, Roger Davis, finished the scoring for . Wilkes with a fifth place finish. Sophomore Jeff Davis captured sixth place to help assure the complete Colonel doll!inance. Conceding the victory to Boris, the Baptist Bible strategy was to capture the middle positions by staying with the Colonel middle runners. But Rittenhouse and company had other ideas as they took a commanding lead at the start and were never headed. " This was a very gratifying win for us," sta ted Coach Pawlpsh. " They had defeated us 10 straight times and it felt very good winning one. Never before in Wilkes College cross country history have the Colonels captured all of the top slots. The most exciting aspect of all is that their best running is still ahead of them." Bring on the giants! HELP! - Wilkes tailback Ed "Dinger" Murray experiences that helpless feeling as he tried to get around the swarming Lycoming defense. The Warriors led the nation in total defense last year and the Colonels know why. Establishing a running game against Lycoming is an exercise in futility but the Colonels insisted on trying until it was too late. ########¢##############################################1 Colonels Away Hockey Squad Still U nheaten By Dotty Martin A single word can be used to describe this year's women's field hockey team - UNBEATABLE. Holding a perfect 5--0 overall record, the Wilkes girls are currently the only undefeated Wilkes athletic team for the 1976 sports season. Ttie team began its season on a very bright note last Tuesday when they defeated the girls from Albright College, 2--0. This victory was a personal thrill for Coach Gay Meyers whose teams haven't been able to get by Albright since she started coaching at Wilkes in 1970. The scoring duo of Penny Bianconi and Karen "Killer" ·Killian started their act in this contest as Biaconi scored first on an assist by freshman Jerry Ann Smith and Killian scored an unassisted goal later in the game. These two girls,Bianconi and Killian, proved to be very valuable to their team in the last three games and will probably be counted on to do most of the scoring for'the remainder of the season. Freshman goalie Lee Ann Em l had ten saves at the goal in this game while senior co-captain Sue Ann Knight had a key save on the goal line to keep the shut-out for Wilkes. This was Miss Earl's first collegiate performance and she proved that she has a bright future ahead on the hockey field. Barb Gorgas played an excellent defensive game and kept the Wilkes team on attack throughout the first half. Miss Gorgas displayed fine positioning and tackling. Jerry Al1I} Smith and Mary Jo Frail, playing in their first collegiate game, both turned in fine performances, worked hard, and were key factors in the Wilkes win. On Thursday , the female Colonels travelled to Marywood and came home with a 3-1 win. Marywood scored first and the score at halftime read 1--0 in their favor. Senior co-captain Penny. Bianconi scored the first goal for Wilkes with 15 minutes left to play m the game. Ronna Colvin was cre~ited with an assist. Karen Killian scored the wfnning goai with four minutes to play on an assist from Barb Gorgas. Jerry Ann Smith scored the last Wilkes goal with only 30 seconds remaining on the clock. Ass ist came from Bianconi. Some unbelievable statistics showed through in this game as Wilkes took 36 shots at goal while· Marywood only took eight. Marywood's goalie had a ·total of 21 saves while Wilkes goalie Lee Ann Earl had two. Freshman Jerry Ann Smith stood out once again in this contest as she never quit on defense. She had a key save at the goal, thus giving her teammates a shot in the arm to keep moving. Good defensive performances were turned in by senior Kim Flis and sophomore Lu Ann Neely as both girls helped to keep their team constantly on attack. The Colonel girls got a real scare toward the end of this game when co-captain Sue Ann Knight's knee gave out on her. Miss Knight has a history of knee injuries and had to be removed from the field . However , she· was ready for play again on Saturday. Commenting on two big wins , Coach Meyers said, "Wilkes really wanted the Albright win and the kids went right out and scored. It's tough to beat league teams though, because everybody in that league is out to get Wilkes. The Marywood goalie almost beat us by herself, but our kids never quit. They get frustrated when they can't score, but they still fight to win right to the final whistle." In an exhibition game played on Saturday morning at the Wilkes field , the hockey team defeated the Reading Club Team, 4--0. The Reading team never took a shot at goa l as Wilkes was constantly on attack'. The Wilkes team had 30 shots at goal while the Reading goalie had 18 saves. Scoring for Wilkes were Karen Killian, 2; Ronna Colvin, and Penny Bianconi. Credited with assists were Bianconi, 2; Killian, and Colvin. The Wilkes team will travel to Kutztown this afternoon and will be at Misericordia on Saturday morning. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For the .subject of his frescos, Ciarlo uses parts of large-scale Dialogue Day Unites Bio Majors Aboug 60 juniors and seniors and faculty members from the , biology department participated Saturday in the first Bio Dialogue Day. Held at a private campground in Bear Creek, the Bio Dialogue Day was an " opportunity to exchange ideas, " according to Dr. Lester Turoczi. "We want to establish a sense of mutual trust," said Turoczi. The objective of the day of discussions and activities was to increase " unity and harmony in the department,' ' he commented. The session was planned to open lines of communication i between biology majors and the faculty . In addition to building this mutual trust, the discussions were designed to improve both student and faculty listening ability. The day began with a couple hours of intr oduction and orientation to the obj ectives of · the session. Students and faculty had the chance to interact on a one-to-one basis. After lunch, the groups of 20 students was divided among three activities. Drs. Charles Reif and John Erickson conducted hikes through the trails at the campground. Drs. Clyde Houseknecht and Wilbur Hayes presented slides of their trip to Egypt this past summer with Dr . Mahmoud Fahmy of the education department. Drs. Louis Rigley and Turoczi · initiated the discussion sessions among small groups of students. Students were given problems and general areas of concern to biology majors and asked to brainstorm possible solutions. President Robert S. Capin and Dr. Richard Soter, Dean of Academic Affairs , joined the group for dinner. Turoczi's statements reflec ted the optimism concerning the success of the day. He said the students would receive feedback What college women are being pinned with. from the biology faculty memhers after they had an oppo r tunit y to discuss the suggestions. It was stressed that interaction would be ongoing throughout the year . President Capin mentioned the Bio Dialogue Day was a n outgrowth of an Administration, Fac1:1lty and Student In-Service Session last Spring. In his remarks to the gathering, Dr. Reif, chairman of the biology department, stated he was " very proud of the Faculty. " He also commented friendship is the most important thing in life along with establishing co_mmunication between people. After dinner, a talk was presented by Gary Alt, a Penn S tate graduate biology student. Alt showed slides of his Master 's degree work with black bears of Northeastern Pennsylvania in Pike County. The day enc:\ed with some fun and socializing. Bill Finlay, a Wilkes graduate , a,nd Henry Steuben, a member of the biology faculty, provided the music. " I 'm encoura ged ," stat ed Turoczi. The Bio Dialogue Day was " the first step in a long patch.

The first item was the situation concerning the s_tudents housed at the Hotel Sterling. At present, 75 students remain at the hotel. Although there are dorm vacancies . on campus, the occupants have the choice of .r emaining fo r the semester . Everyone seems to be content ◄ • with this living situation, as they have established both a male and a female dorm. Out of this, they have also elected dorm councils . As a result of an attempted rape, security is being tightened. Security guards must now punch keys at Barre Hall. In a few · weeks, a meetirig will be held ' between Gene Manganello , · pers.onnel director, Charles Abate, business manager and Joe : Marchetti, to relocate -security zones. The present . zones have been in existance for several < years. Along with new security · zones, Marchetti would like to institute a lock-up system in Pickering Hall. He feels this is necessary to avoid damage done ' by outsiders. Refrigerator size in private · rooms is now being controlled in · order to keep power bills down. If a student · has an over-size •refrigerator, larger that three- · feet high, he will be assessed for ' the added voltage. Air conditioners have also been banned. Monthly dorm checks and room checks are being done by Marchetti to pin-point damages. This way the respective par ty will be . held responsible, otherwise the entire dorm will be responsible for~the cost of repairs. Marchetti remarked that he was optimistic about the coming year. The past few weekends , have resulted in considerably less damage than last year. " The R.A. staff has been doing a great job in keeping things under control," Marchetti said. The maintenance department is in the process of re-evaluating the dorms for repairs. As of now, repairs are being made on a prior ity basis, until the back-log of repairs are finished.

Randy estimates his traveling costs to be about thirty dollars per week including gas and tolls, from the Pennsylvania turnpike. He · says his Scout is the best, especially in the winter. Just what keeps Randy at home ? " I dormed a semester at . Mansfield and I really didn',t care '"' too much for that lifestyle. Wilkes is closer to home." But his committments. at h~me really keep him there. The sophomore music major is organist at one church in Lehighton and organist and choir director at another. Besides that, he maintains a job at a local supermarket on weekends. This ambitious young man is also the conductor of the Carbon County Choir and brass ensemble which he founded. .At Lehighton Area High School Randy was the Student Band Director and Director of the Stage Band. Besides being able to play piano, his major instrument at Wilkes, Randy also is accomplished in the trumpet, trombone, tuba and the organ. ;What brings Randy to W1lkes? "Well it was really Mrs. Liva, my piano instructor here." Joseph Rohn, a Wilkes music graduate and director of the chorus in nearby Jim Thorpe Area High School is the organist in the Choir and Brass ensemble. He informed Mrs. Liva of Randy's talents and upon hearing of his dissatisfaction with Mansfield, she drafted him into the Wilkes Music Department. Randy's main interestes lie in By Sue Ann Knight Baroque music. " I wish I could just specialize 1. What three shows has Bob Denver played in the past years and in that.

" 'HEY THOREAU HOIJJ COME YOU "II Ill 1G BECAUSE ITS A SIGN OF INDIVIDUALITY AND M05f OF ALL IYIASCUL/MIT\J The Legend Of Wec-kesser Hall Each Wilkes student has been to that mammoth structure that houses the administrative offices of the college known as Weckesser Hall. But as you·have passed through those beckoning doors to drop a class or pick up your calendar, did you ever stop to think of this building's past? Did you ever realize wickedness was once a part of Wilkes? Now don't go over and ask one of the deans to tell you the story because they don't know it. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Weckesser Hall? .... The Wizard does. . Way back in the early 1800's, even before the Weckessers lived in the home, a man by the name of Stanislaus Thrisnapolski lived there. His wife, whom he loved very much, had died giving birth to his daughter Alisa. As an eternal tribute to his wife, Stanislaus (I'll now call him Stash for short) had her body immortalized in a glass coffin and placed it in the parlor to be used as a coffee . table. Stash: There you will stay, my beautiful wife. I shall be cursed the day I proclaim anyone more beautiful than you. As time passed, Alisa grew older and more beautiful every day. Stash soon forgot about his proclamation· to his dead spouse. It was the day of Alisa's senior prom and her date came to the door. · Dat.e: Hi pops, where's Alisa? It's almost time to boogie. Tell her to get a move on. Stash: Alisa, your escort is · here. Come down. At that moment music filled the air, the stars twinkled, and a glow came from the top of the stairs. Out of this brillance emerged the most beautiful girl in the world, his daughter, Alisa. She descended the steps in graceful, flowing movements and greeted her date. Alisa: What's happenin' buddy? Let's split. Catch you later, dad. As Stash closed the door he sighed to himself. Stash: Oh, Stash! What a lovely daughter you have. She has got to be more beautiful than any other woman I have ever seen. With those words a piercing -scream came from the parlor. Stash ran to see what the commotion was. Before his eyes, the glass box that encased his wife began to stand on end. He could see his wife standing in it and looking as she did many years before. All at once her eyes opened. Wife:Stanislaus,you slob. I heard that. I hate your guts: I thoughU was the fairest in the land. You'll pay for this. And I'm also sick and · tired of having beer. spilled on me during Monday night football. With those words the glass coffin turned a firey red and moved towards Stash. · He ran as fast as his feeble legs could carry him. First to the room which is now the President's office. But right behind him was the molten coffin. · Down to the recorder's office Stash fled, but his doom followed him. Was there no escape? He dashed up the steps hoping•it could never climb behind him. But once again it trailed! It chased him through the dean's office and up to the third floor. "Maybe it would not look in Mr. Hoover's office," Stash thought as he hid. But soon the monster found him. He then ran into the bathroom next door. A mistake!!! Stash:· "Oh, no! ! ! I'm cornered! And so he was. Backed up against the wall. The creature came nearer and nearer. It was inches away from the kill. All of a sudden Stash reached into the medicine cabinet. He grabbed a jar of "Vick's Vapo-Rub" and hurled it at the casket. Immediately it stopped dead in its tracks and returned to its inanimate state. Stash: I guess you're wondering what happened. Well don't you know that "Vick's stops all coffin?" --0---.._ JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, What did the man do when he saw his cat run over by a steam roller? A. Nothing!

A key was put on Barre Hall, where the incident took place, in order that security will have to check on it. Rezoning of college campus was done so that security will walk and cover larger areas. N.so a call to the city was made so that better lighting would be installed. Al · France, Vice-President, made a proposal to form a committee that would clear up problems of dormitory cleaning.

These services would take place in the Student Union Building on Sundays. It wasn't quite clear how this would work out, but more information would be known next week. It was reported that Coach Reese saw no problem in the use of the sauna by girls and nonathietes. Someone will have to attend the sauna because it can't be left running. Permission will be sought through the Athletic department if it can be used. A schedule may also be set up with sauna hours. The exercise room can also be used by female students. A schedule again will be set up giving the girls certain times to use the room by themselves. A girl will be put on work study to attend the~room. The exercise room is located in the basement of Pickering Hall. Bruce Lear also mentioned the broken steam heat line. It will take at least three to four weeks to repair the line. President Capin r eportedly called the Steam Heat Company of WilkesBarre to request that the repairs be made quickly. Lear said it was too cold at night~ extra blankets and portable heaters · would be supplied. On a final note Lear reported on the formation of a new liason between administration and students. Every Monday the three Council presidents will meet with President Capin. Progress reports and · any complaints will be discussed at these meetings.

'Volunteers In Probat·1on ' New Program By Harriet Smith An interesting program has re cently been instituted in Luzerne County. Volunteers in Probation is run by The Bridge in cooperation with the Luzerne County Juvenile Court. The purpose of this program is for a volunteer to be a friend to a youngster on probation. The success of this program has been astounding. In other areas where statistics have been c9.mpiled, the re-arrest rate has been down 50 percent. The VIP program is looking for more volunteers, preferably college students. It has been found that college students understand the problems of children and present a good image. Being a volunteer takes time. The volunteer is required to spend a minimum of two hours each week with the child for the duration of probation, usually six months to one year. Prospective volunteers are screened carefully. Volunteers must return applications with three acceptable references. Then, the supervisor visits the volunteer at home. When there is a group of 7-10 volunteers, a probation officer holds an orientation program. The supervisor will then tell the volunteer about the child. Both the youngster and the volunteer must agree on their new ''friend." The main objective of the VIP program is to give the child a friend. The volunteer is not a social worker or probation officer, just a friend. According to Patricia ·Crotty, coordinator of this program, "A volunteer must be matur e, dependable, understanding, and willing to listen-to be everything a good friend is." wm111nn1111111111111111m1111111m11111111111111D1m111n11111111111111111111111111n1111111111111111nnu1111111111nn111111111111111111m1H111un11m1111mn1111111 I i = I , e i i ART SUPPLIES • Winsor Newton Paints = e • Darches Rag Paper· = ii I ; e Joke-Telling Professors Keep Students Awake And Increase Leaming There are two restrictions placed on volunteers.

Soccer_Leaders ''Dynamic l)uo'' By Eddie White There was WoO<iward and Bernstein ; Batman and Robin ; Red. ford and Newman ; Ozgo a nd Buzinski; Nixon a nd Agnew; Nixon and Agnew? Anyhow ther e is a new dynamic duo Kalaritis and Nardone . Panos Kalaritis and Bill Nardone a re the senior co-captains .on the Wilkes College Soccer team . Both are great athletes and super human beings: . 1 . Panos, a 6-2, 170 pounder fr.om Greece, graduated from Corinth High School. He did not play soccer in school or on a team. He said, "It is the national sport there, like football is her e:" He also stated that he would, "Go outside and organize a game, experience would come from this and this is ho_w I improved my skills. " · His outlook on the season is a positive one. After the first game he · replied, ''It is a pleasure being a co-captain a nd I am honored to work with such a great group of guys . I think we will finish over .500." Panos will graduate this year with a degree in chemistry . ·· Bill Nardone , the other senior captain sees his job as co-captain as a great responsibility. The 5-11 , 144 pounder attended Cinnaminson High School in Cinna minson, N.J. Coach .Eaton mainly wanted Bill on the field in.the forward position this season. But With no other capable goalie around, Bill was fo rced into the goa lie position. He has done - more than an adequate job. In Saturday's victory over Upsala he had 15 saves . He also had the crowd on its feet with many of the spectacular saves. The 1973 graduate of Cinna minson r eceived three letters in fon. nis , two in footba ll a na one in ~occer a t the high school. At Wilkes he has received two in soccer and one in tennis . The math and phys ics major said he, " is rea lly confident that the team will succeed this year and be no resembla nce to the squad of last season." Maybe these two will succeed like Woodward and Bernstein ; Redford a nd Newman ; Ozgo and Buzinski ; Nix~m and Agnew ; NLxon and Agnew? from page 1 2 . goalie .. squ_a d was no pushover for the Coach Eaton has. to be pleased Blue and Gold.

This new rule has already affected the Wilkes team in their season opener last Saturday at Indiana State University and they were lucky to come out of it in one piece. • The rule prohibits a defenders' use of his helmet as a weapon in the process of tackling a ballcarrier. It is called "spearing." Last Saturday in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Bob Dubicz could have been seriously injured. Bob Dubicz is lucky to be alive today. Many of the nation's _college coaches have protested vehmently to this rule. They claim that the inability of a defender to use his head as a striking instrument severly inhibits his facility in tackling. They claim that being unable_to make contact head first results in impaired vision and many missed tackles on defense. So be it; from a strictly football perspective. From a more humanistic perspective, it is praised by many of the coaches around the coun- try. The justiffc_a tion is that it prevents injµries for both the tackler and the " tacklee. " It is interesting to -note that many of the protests are coming from large " football -machine" colleges whe-r e tiddlywinks is a game and football 4, a way of Jife ; not to be taken ariy less lightly than eating. To them it is the missed tackles that are at stake, not necessarily -tne safety of the players. At a small college like Wilkes, the priorities are_a little different. Safety and preventio11 of in~ juries is the most" important concern. "I think it is a great rule and slightly overdue," said Colonel Athletic Trainer Mike Aed. _ " Football is a dangerous game and any rule to help prevent injuries is a good one. It will help prevent knee injuries to offensive ballplayers because they won't be subjected to direct hits . from a helmet. Helmets have a tendency to be hard," added Mike. _-"But more importantly, the protection of the defende-r is considered also. The rule is more for the defenders' protection than the ballcarriers'. When a defender uses his helmet, the injury caused to the "hitee" isn't near as dangerous as it is to himself. A knee injury hurts but a neck injury can and will be fatal."

Indiana came at the Wilkes defense with a very balanced attack and except for a few long gainers by second string fullback Bob Coles, the Colonels were up to the challenge. Coles busted an off tackle play for thirty-three yar!is late in the first half to give the Indians good field position deep in Colonel territory. A few plays later, Coles bulled over from the 2 yard line to give IUP a 6--0 lead. The snap on the point after the TD was fumbled and score remained 6--0. . Immediately a r the kickoff, the Colonels had a drive ·stalled when Rob Irwin fumbled. an end around and the Indians had another golden opportunity to widen the gap. However, the Colonel "Big D" slammed the door and a 37 yard field goal attempt was wide and the half ended with IUP on top, 6--0. Wilkes received the second half kickoff an\f three interceptions in a row (two by Mike Wilson and one by Bill Slavoski) broke whatever offensive momentum they had. As a result of these miscues, the Indjans had excellent field position three .times -in a row, but the tough Wilkes defense shut them out twice, once on an interception by freshman Dave Korba. But after the third interception and third consecutive good field position for IUP they finally penetrated the fearsome Wilkes defense. Fooled by a screen pass, Coles got outside for a long gainer and Indiana soon scored again. The point was good and the score stood at 13--0. Except for the two long gainers by Coles, the Colonel defense did a yeoman job. They were out on the field a long time and didn't get much chance to rest, but they continually turned the IUP offense · away from many opportunities to score. They were led by Tony Couto who did a lot of stunting and who accounted for 14 first hits. Also turning in outstanding games were Tony Pace, Don Williams, and Chris O'Brien. · The offense was the big problem for the Colonels. The inability to . mount a substantial drive made scoring an impossibility. Mustering only 189 total offensive yards, the need for leadership is obvio·us. The quarterbacking trio of Greenspan, Wilson, and Slavoski was unable to move the team until late iri the fourth quarter, a 61 yard drive led by Greenspan stalled on the IUP 2 yard line. It was the only semblance of offense all afternoon. The rushing game could account for only 107 ya rds. Murray had 61 and D' Amico had 56. The lack of outside speed enabled IUP to key their defense· to the inside running game of Wilkes. Wilkes potentially has a solid football team. Time will be required for the youngsters to get much needed experience. Stick around . This is going to be a very interesting season. · OFFENSE T-Wild T-Wengen, F . .

Warriors ... By Jeff Acornley ... The Wilkes football season starts on Saturday. Now before you start a movement to have me put away, let me explain. I realize that they have· been practicing for over a month and that they scrimmaged Princeton and. already played Indiana State. What starts on Saturday are the games that have real meaning. The games against the MAC foes. . The Colonels initiate their MAC campaign at Ralston Field on Saturday against Lycoming. It will be a big game for both squads if they entertain any hopes for the championship. This will be the 18th meeting between these two schools on the gridiron. Wilkes holds the competitive edge in the series with 10 wins and 7 losses. This is the longest current series that Wilkes is involved in. Last year's encounter was won by Eloise. • The last time Lycoming defeated the Colonels was in 1970 when they broke the Wilkes home winning streak at 30 games with a thrilling 21-19 decision. Before that game, the Colonels hactnever lost at Ralston Field. --... This year should bring an intense def.ensive battle. The Warriors were 6-2 last season and have returned all but five of those lettermen from last year. They led Division III in defense on the nationa l scene yielding only 60 points all season. Back from that oustanding defense is All-MAC defensive end Steve Weigle, · one of the Warrior co-captains. Along with causing complete havoc all over the field, his specialty is blocking punts. He has blocked three already this season and he fell on one in the endzone for a touchdown against Albright last week. Nine of eleven defenders are back as starters and joining Weigle in the intimidating ranks are Randy Parsons (LB) and Mike Prowant · (MG). . . The . Lycoming offense is led by sophomore quarterback Frank Morongiello. He has three TD passes to his credit thus far but the Warriors are considered more of a running , ball control team . Phil Bolino is the tailback and has 341 yards rushing on 101 carries. When Morongiello does throw SE Jim Jeffries is an excellent target. He has 2 TD passes and has latched onto 16 aerials for 251 yards. Lycoming is currently 1-1 on the season. They pounded Lock Haven State 22--0 in their opener and lost a heartbreaker to defending MAC champs Albright last week. They had Albright down 14--0 in the fourth quarter but Albright started a desperate passing attack and rallied to a 20-14 victory. This is a big game for both teams. Lycoming already has one MAC loss and another one would probably eliminate them . The Wilkes team is starting their slate fresh and don't want to lose the · opener and be battling uphill for the remainder of the season. · Lycoming is experienced and the Colonels are not, but Albright showed that they are vulnerable to an accurate passing game so if... .

The second tally came 30: 12 into the second period, when Reynolds took a. pass from junior Leonard Vekkos, and put it past the goalie. Only a minute later, Henry Tamayo scored for Upsala with an assist from All-American Luis Hermosilla, from Chile. With three and a half minutes left in regulatio·n time, Hermosilla scored on a controversial goal to tie the score · and send it in to overtime. In college soccer two overtime periods are played, containing 10 minutes each. There is no sudden STANDOUT FRESHMAN death, at the end of the two Tim Reynolds periods the score is final. Dean Evans scored an unassisted goal for the Colonels with 4:21 gone in the first over- time period. That was the end of the scoring for the day.

Gives Joh Experience Co,n,nunity Service Underway Students participating in the Community Service 'Program, now in its second year, officially began their duties last Tuesday. The progra_m, under the direction of Dr. James Rodechko, is run in cooperation with Action, an independent government agency, and provides students with the valuable job experience that employers are looking for. Not only will the students · receive academic credit for the work they accomplish in a public service agency, but at the same time they will be prepared for public service careers and will be helped to deal with community problems in a practical manner. Placement opportunities allowed these students to develop either a new area of interest or to enhance existing career objectives. During this one-year period of public service, the students will participate in a weekly seminar, be responsible for a research project dealing with some aspect of his agency experience, and achieve reasonable comprehension of a list of readings related to public service. Mark Jacobs, who has been working with the Wilkes:Barre City Department of Planning anCY Devel9pment since August 16, expressed his approval of the Community Service Program: "I really feel it's a good program," he said, "for it gives you good insight into the different areas of the agency you're working with. "You're putting everything you learn in school to work and you are also gaining responsibility. I recommend the program to anybody." Sharon Sprechini has been working with Volunteers of America since the end of June, and she too is happy with the program. "I'm learning more' about myself and how I am when working with others," she said. "It's better than attending classes." Upon completing the service year, the students will be awarded 30 credit hours under the title "Community Service." The hours will fulfill elective requirements for regular degree programs at the college. The 30 credit hours, along with an additional 12 hours of course work in the social sciences or other fields, will also apply toward a second major in Community Service. Live television is coming to Wilkes as yet another aspect of the Wilkes-Hahnemann family medicine program. Students in the final phase of the six-year program will be able to observe and even participate in classes conducted at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia while they are involved with clinical training in this area. The closed circuit television network will include opportunities for two-way live interaction between the two areas in order to simulate an actual classroom situation as closely as possible. In-service training programs, "grand rounds," patient education and medical conferences and seminars will be transmitted to Stark Learning Center and also to centers in participating area hospitals. In this way, WilkesHahnemann students in the clinical training phase will find , that the area medical faculty members who are tutoring them will be able to devote more time 1 (continued on page 3) A tternpted Rape Causes Concern The attempted rape of a female former dorm student last Saturday night prompted heavy discussion at a well-attended Inter-Dormitory Council meeting Sunday night.

Vujica, who retired·a year ago as chairman of the Wilkes College Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies after 28 years as an educator in this area, died recently while addressing a group of Croatian athletes in London, Ontario, Canada. A longtime resident of 95 Miner Street, Wilkes-Barre, Dr. Vujica was attending a meeting of the American and Canadian Soccer League. Among the guests were a group of Croatian soccer players and their guests. It was while serving as a guest speaker before this group that the prominent educator suffered a heart seizure and died. . Dr. Vujica was born in Yugoslavia. He studied at the Universities of Zagreb, Croatia, Vienna and Innsbruck, Austria. He received his master's degree from Innsbruck and his doctorate in Zagreb. He served as a member of the American Association of University Professors, the American Philosophical Association, and the Croatian Academy of America. This latter organization consists of Croatian and energy to clinical training, since the T. V. network will provide other necessary medical education. In addition, Wilkes-Barre area hospitals will benefit from medical technology which will be more accessible to them because of the telecommunications linkage to Philadelphia. Long distance health care in the form of X-ray diagnosis, speech therapy, electroencephelogram and electrocardiogram interpretations will be made available to area physicians. Funds also have been requested to establish Learning· Resource Centers (LRC ) at each of the local hospitals and at the college. Video tape playback equipment will be contained in the LRC, which will provide a useful educational tool to Wilkes-, Hahnemann students and other ·health professionals. In addition to the live offerings of the network, taped programs will be available for students to review medical conferences and · first group of professors emeriti and was to have been among those honored at a special assembly on the Wilkes campus on October 21.

He admired American respect for human dignity and its devotion to freedom.

A suggestion was also made to have a self defense course taught to female students. Representatives will poll their dorms to get reaction to the suggestion. A fight which occurred outside Bedford Hall involving six men not associated with the college was also discussed. The college will prosecute the.men, who were· drunk and armed with a knife, for trespassing. It was .reported that approximately $4000 in damages to the roof of Sullivan Hall has been incurred because of flooding on the roof.

Security screens will be installed on all first floor windows in the dorms as well as on second r and third floor windows accessible by a porch or fire escape.

A new president, a new dean of academic affairs, and a new housing director seem to be causing a flurry of anxious anticipation among the students. Rumors have been rampid about the new organization of the housing office. However, students seem to be satisfied with the organization Joe Marchetti has instilled, something that has been missing from the housing office for many years. Marchetti has been the brunt of a large share of the popula'r rumors · about campus, picturing Marchetti as everything from a two-headed ogre to "Casper the Friendly Ghost" - equipped witha gift of transparency through walls, as the story goes. The new housing director has fought for the students' cause on more than one occation, and deserves the respect and friendship of the students he has gone to bat for . Dr. Richard Soter, the new dean of academic affairs, has left his position open. Students are curious as to what changes in the field of academics this man will advocate having come from a different college with an impressive background. And finally what changes will or has President Capin made in the Wilkes College scene. Capin has been charged with everything from instilling prohibition on the Wilkes .campus to advocating '4he opening of the new bar in the Student Union Basement. Students are somewhat vague on the principles the new president stands for. They respect his opendoor policy and his general availability, but have received no concrete positions. Capin seems to be the besf man for the job as president nere at Wilkes, having come up through the ranks and viewed the administration from all perspectives - a student, faculty member, dean and finally president. The question that is besetting the students is: will this diverse view strengthen the president's position here at Wilkes or be lost in the web of committees now so vogue on the Wilkes campus? CC Hears Taps f Journalism Organization Invites New Members Wilkes College Journalism Society, dedicated to the promotion of journalism and communicat~ons on campus, began its second year as an organization this fall. Open to anyone interested in the field of journalism, · the society has already begun developing plans for a workshop for high school journalists, a lecture or forwn devoted to journalism, and the initiation of new members into Sigma Delta Chi, the society of professional journalists.

Commuter Council, at one time supported by enthusiastic commuting students, is beginning to sound a death rattle. At the council's first meeting last Thursday, a mere six representatives out of 18 were in attendance. The meeting had only a very faint spark of life.

Written by George Bernard Shaw, the play is a comedy satirising war and the military. It will be presented October 7th through 10th in the Center for the Performing Arts. A professional actor Stutts, is guest resident director for the first production of the season. Asked by the Administration and the Theatre Department, Stutts is the first director-inresidence at Wilkes. According to the actor, Wilkes is the first college in P ennsylvania to establish such a position. Stutts thinks this iS' an "innovative program" and "marvelous" experience for students. "It gives students the chance to work with someone who makes a living in the theatre," stated Stutts. The gray-haired actor, who looks older than his twenty-seven years, has warm feelings about Wilkes. In some ways, it reminds him of his undergraduate days at the Univer sity of Alabama . Wilkes has "a big heart with small town ideas. " Stutts has been at Wilkes three times in the last two years to present his one-man show on Mark Twain. This year he will give his one-man show of Edgar Allan Poe on Monday, October 11, the night after the close of "The Arms and the Man" . · In addition to Twain and Poe, Stutts does one-man shows of Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Wilkes Wildlife Sanctuary time. · · John Barrymore. For these shows, Stutts becomes the char acter with the help of props, costumes and scenery. He also adopts the character's mannerisms, dialect and original thoughts, writings and ideas, which requires hours of research. Twain has been his " niost popular " role, because he is adaptable to many present-day problems and situations. This month will mark the eighth consecutive year Stutts has done his Twain show. The one-man · show about Poe took three months to write, according to Stutts. That show was written by the Alabama born Full House Mystified By Berniuda Triangle By Lisa Waznik T!)e first presentation in this year 's Concert and Lecture Series was both informative and mystifying as Charles Berlitz, ' author of "The Bermuda Triangle ", thrilled the overflowing audience last Thursday night, September 9.

Berlitz also estimated a ship per week and an airplane every two weeks vanish in the triangle. The latest being the ship a week prior to the lectur~on September 2. The author's book and other publicity about the mysterious area have caused thousands of people to write to him and share their exptriences.

Berlitz concluded his presentation with an informal question and answer· period. actor with. a friend doing the revision. Since the scripts require plenty of research, Stutts now looks for people to write his shows. When asked about bis favorite character, Stutts said he likes best the one he is doing at the time, but his favorite is John Barrymore. " Maybe that 's because I'd like to be John Barrymore. " Stutts has done a few movies and television roles, but he prefers the live stage. One of his most recent roles in a movie was in "The Front Page. " , Stutts described his part as "one of the cops, standing · on the running board during the big chase-.gcene, · who got a close-up."

This time, though, Stutts will play the lead role in either " Edward 11" or Shakespeare's " Hamlet. " In general , the resident director is impressed with Wilkes. "I'm optimistic" and " don;t anticipate any problems" are orlly few of his statements about the upcoming production. Stutts said he found the theatre staff prepared and they had taken care of the details inv;olved in doingl a show.

Sacred Ivy League. . . The hallowed halls of those revered institutions bursting with knowledge. Wilkes College from the Northern Division of the MAC ... Well, look at it this way, we each have our place. Last Friday, the Wilkes College football team travelled to the campus of Princeton University in New Jersey. The purpose was to participate in a football scrimmage with those intellectual beasts called the Princeton Tigers. The Colonel convoy burst into Princeton, determined to take the town by storm. But after a few wrong turns and the bus driver shaking his head and muttering, "Rollie, are you sure we are in the right state?" the team finally found the stadium. Undaunted, they unloaded the bus and waltzed intothe fieldhouse. Unlike the McBride Fieldhouse, this one was big, beautiful and wellequipped. ' Still undaunted, the Colonels charged onto the foreign turf. It was there that our troops were overcome. Palmer Stadium, the second oldest stadium in the country, was simply magnificent. With its 50,000 empty seats staring and that cold autumn sun glaring orange in the sky, it was a sight that was simply breathtaking. Already on the field were the black and orange uniformed players of one of the nations most historic universities. They were massive. "I was scared to death," remarked one of Wilkes' freshmen, " unW after the first hit. Then I realized that they are human just like us. " After overcoming the initial reaction of awe, the Colonels played pretty good football. We hit them and they hit us, but the little college from Wilkes-Barre just wouldn' t be intimidated. After the battle, the team was treated to a veritable feast. With a gourmet meal under their belts a tour of the Jadwin Gymnasium on campus was in order. The gym has got to be one of the most complete athletic complexes in the nation. It is five stories high! A gargantuan basketball arena, tennis courts, weight rooms, a huge wrestling room, and believe it or not, a baseball diamond among others make up this tremendous complex. It was first class treatment all the way ona first class campus, but with attendance that requires the astronomical tuition of almost $6,000 a year, I'm sure the Colonels will be very content with just a visit to one of the most majestic and prominent universities in the nation.

Seasonal play begins on Tuesday, September 21, when the Wilkes girls host Albright College at 4 p.m. •te Coach Gay Meyers takes ·a from her busy schedule to discuss strategy with the 1976 field hockey co-captains, Penny Bianconi, left, and Sue Arm Knight. Prognosticatioll Can the Wilkes College football team possibly win the MAC title? Does the team have enough depth to compete with the likes of Indiana State University, Juniata, and Albright? .Can they ·· survive the entire schedule relatively injury-free? · Will one quarterback reign supreme? Can the Colonels have an effective running game without a bona finde outside threat? Will lack of experience be overcome by youthful zeal? I'm sure you get the idea . . Generally, the major problem will be lack of experience. Facing the loss of 20 lettermen, rebuilding is never an easy chore. Guiding the Blue and Gold efforts for the 15th straight year is veteran mentor Rollie Schmidt. His lifetime record is an impressive 72-39-1. Schmidt guided the " Golden Hourde" during the glory years from 1965 to 1969. Accomplishments during that time period include five straight MAC Northern Division crowns, two Lambert Bowls, three consecutive undefeated seasons (1966-68), and a 32-game . winning streak, ·the third longest in NCAA College Division . history. · Coach Schmidt will be assisted this fall by . Jonah .Goobic, Jim Fennell, Paul Kane, Joe Moran, Ed Lukas, and Jeff Giberson. The Colonels opened camp on August 23 for their 31st season of intercollegiate football. The team had two-a-day workouts until g asses started on August 30. With . only one preseason scrimmage under their belts, the team is largely untested. It appears that once again the Colonel defense will be the strength of the squad. The big " D" will be counted on to keep the Colonels within striking range of any opponent. The big defensive strength will be on the line and af the linebacker positions. Returning lettermen Chris O'Brien and Tony Pace will anchor a solid front four. O'Brien is a YMCA weightlifting .. champion and Pace is 6-2 and 205 pounds. Size or strength shouldn't be a problem. Bill Sobczak will join O'Brien at the end slots while By Jeff Acornley Don Williams will team with Pace at tackle. Both Sobczak and · Williams have some · experience and both are big and strong. Letterman Bob Gratton did not return to school this fall and will be sorely missed in the middle. Even without Gratton, this seems to be one of the Colonel strong points; the defensive line. The linebacking crew also looks to be very solid with the return of lettermen Tony Couto, Dwight Beck, John Lack, ·Bob Owens, and co-captain Don McDermott. Couto and Lack are real hitters and play very aggressively. McDermott relies on quickness and sometimes doubles as a defensive back on passing situations. Dwight Beck was injured at Princeton and it is not known how long he will be out of the lineup. His probable replacement for this week's game will be either Owens or . freshman Joe Airey. The big question mark of the Wilkes defense rests in the defensive secondary. Gone are all three starters of a year ago. With Ed Suchoski hurt, the only backs with any experienc~ at all are the Molitoris twins, Mark and Mike. Joining the twins in the secondary will be either Bob Dubicz or Dave Korba, both freshmen. A big part of the potential success of the Colonels will · rest on their young shoulders. While the defense seems comparatively solid, the offense might have some problems. Again the lack of experience raises its ugly head. First the good news; the of- fensive line again appears to be quite formidable. Co-captain Frank Wengen and junior letterman Greg Wild have nailed down the starting tackle spots. Both are very big and very strong and give the line some experienced help , Senior Len Dalmas and sophomore Andy Contos will start at guard. One spot the Colonels weren't worried about in preseason was that of center. Kenny Sickler, potentially the best center to ever play at Wilkes, would anchor the line. But Ken has had a variety of somewhat puzzling injuries and it is doubtful that he will play Saturday. Replacing him in the lineup will be freshman Joel Kane. Another bright spot in the Wilkes offense is in the receiving department. Standout tight end Paul Wengen is back along with lanky Bob Irwin and wide man Larry Tarutis. Wenge~ led the Colonels in TD receptions last fall and Tarutis is finally healthy. - Now the bad news : the offensive backfield desperately needs experience. Junior bulldozer Ed Murray is the only runner with any semblance of playing time. Joining him in the fullback position will be sophomore Ed D' Amico. They will be backed up by Bill Abrams. None of -the runners have outside breakaway speed and that could hurt the attack. . The quarterback slot is still up for grabs among youngste_rs Alan Greenspan, Mike Wilson, and Bill Slavoski (not necessarily in that order ). The offensive leadership continued on page 7 i '-"' . ~--4 COLONEL CO-CAPTAINS .
