SG cannot really be considered one-sided because there is enough diversity in its membership to allow for a number of different opinions on any issue. Some of its representatives may have a laissezfaire attitude, but that is not true of the body as a whole. But SG )Vas irresponsible in administering J.he Leslie West-Slade C_once_rt. Its Analysis v10lat10n of an agreement · desl_tisgenlefd taondprottehcet I B college is inexcusable. If future concerts are allowed SG will definitely see that similar problems do not occur, but it may not have another chance to prove itself. There is a chance that future concerts will be cancelled because of the last one Actually, if SG had stuck to its convictions, Leslie West and Slade would not have performed that F riday night, and the damages and resulting problems might not have occurred. The performance itself was held particularly responsible for the trouble because of the type of crowd it drew. SG members originally voted against West and Slade when it w_a s presented with a number of different possible concert line-ups. At that time they believed that the student body would not support a concert_of that kind. But due to a misunderstanding, Fang Productions signed that act for a concert and SG revoted and accepted the concert, even though it was not obligated in any way to do so. ~lthough members now said they beheved st~dents would attend the concert, \Yilkes students accounted for only 10 per cent of the audience. .

But don't overlook the fact that Homecoming and the Manilow concert were very successful, and the films sponsored by SG are also showing good signs. SG does not seem to have made very many positive, note-worthy achievements so far, but according to President Zeke Zaborney, the ideas are there and SG is "working in a positive manner. " Proposals are being written on academic issues such as -pass-fail courses, exemption from finals for seniors with a certain grade average, and possibly a decimal grading system. The parking problem is being worked on, and major social activities will be coming up next semester. SG promptly responded to critics who called for efforts to get students interested in SG meetings by placing posters around the campus. It's too bad the student body is suffering from a terminal case of apathy. While student governments at other colleges have been disbanded, used as figure heads, or have not been able to get quorums for meetings, this Student Government has a great deal of power, responsibility and interest. It has often been observed by other colleges because Diamonds ½ Price To Wilkes Students VANSCOY FJ Diamond Salon Open Mon. th ru Sat. 9:30 to 10:00 of its fine reputation. According to SG Advisor Dean Ed Baltruchitus, SG members are "trying to work for a positive goal. They occasionally go by the wayside and need a little direction back to the norm." A little more organization and bet_ter communication also seems to be m order, as many of the mistakes made were caused by inexperience and misunderstanding. It might also help if SG foc used on the important issues and did not waste so much time debating a bout jewelry sales and absentee policies that "don 't work" anyway. . Another interesting point is that issues seem to get lost in the shuffle. A proposal that met with opposition and was concerned with social requirements for clubs was to be rewritten and resubmitted the following week. That was six weeks ago. But S G IS trying, and while it does ~ake mistakes, hopefully it 's learn~g from them. Although the negatlve aspects sometimes seem to oversha~ow the positive ones, the outlook isn 't really so gloomy because SG has potential-its officers are s_incere and concerned and its members seem to be willing to work. Despite the mistake it has made it can still reach its full potential.

Although the council fulfilled its required duties, it seems to have been overcome by a plague of apathy. In some cases, the committees consisted of only the chairman. For example, the Halloween · party committee was planned and managed by Al Berger alone. Although Berger was perfectly capable, he lacked the necessary manpowedo back him up and thus the party resulted in overspending. Attendance at the meetings every Sunday night is also a problem, further illustrating the lack of interest and participation on the council. Despite these problems, however, IDC has managed to supply the students at Wilkes with some activities. They were listed by President Mike LoPresti at the December 7 meeting. Under social activities, the semester began with a dance in September, with Trix as the band. Then came the annual I.D.C.-C.C. Halloween Party, held in the gym This was only- the beginning soon the rest of their cohorts Came to the gathering complete with red hats and red shorts .

The college bulletin states, "In..:ompletes will be granted to students who, because of illness or reasons beyond · their control, have been unable to satisfy all course requirements including the final examination. When such a grade is given, the incomplete work must be made up by or before the end of the fourth week following the last day of the examination period." " If the incomplete is not removed within this time, or an extension of ,time granted by the instructor who gave the grade or by some other authorized person, and the Registrar's Office so notified, the grade will be changed to a zero on the student's record." .

It was stated that there have been instances when the faculty member who made up an exam was not present at the time it was given. However, it was mentioned that there were cases when the student had to ask th~ substitute proctor to clarify an essay question and was given an erroneous interpretation, resulting in a 15 or 20 point loss on the particular question. · · Dr. John Natzke read from his faculty handbook the section regarding exam proctoring which states that someone must be on hand to proctor the exam from the particular department in which the exam is given. It does not specifically mention that the particular . faculty member.,,who made up the exam . has to ~e on hand to administer it. A question was raised by Dave Davies, president of the senior class, as to whether or not the student could refuse to take an exam in such a case. Although no one had an answer at the time, Mrs. Darte, chairman of the committee, was looking into it. It was suggested that Mrs. Darte send a memo to department chairmen expressing the student concern and to request that the chairman review their department exam proctoring regulations as stated in ·the book. The second item for discussion was the faculty-student advisee system. There was a question of whether or not the faculty kept their office hours. One member stated that although the faculty were keeping their office hours, perhaps some advisors were ill-informed as to what the core requirements were and what requirements were in effect for their own departments. Dr. · Rees from the education department made the statement, "Education and Nursing departments have a wooksheet that clearly defines the requirements so that the at'lvisors don't pass out misinformation. " It was suggested that worksheets be passed out to other department chairmen as samples for setting up worksheets within them. It was requested that Mrs. Darte express this concern directly to President Capin and that this be an item on the agenda for the department head's meeting. Also -mentioned at the meeting was that each department maintain a bulletin board with career opportunities and suggestions for graduate schools if they don't already do so �December 11, 1975 The Beacon Page 10 ,: Grapplers Still Looking For First Open .Victory BY PAUL DOMOWITCH ' , ' 1 . • Frustration for John Reese is hosting the Wilkes Open wrestling tournament every year during the Christmas holidays, and every year watching somebody el:,e walk off with the championship trophy. On December 29, Reese and the Colonels will try once again to overcome this jinx, as some of the best wrestlers in the country matriculate to the S. Franklin St. gymnasium for the 42nd Open; the oldest event of its kind in the United States. · WILKES HAS COME close to winning the title the last few years, finishing second in 1970, '71, '72 and '73, but they have never won the very event that they play host to. However, days of the alsoran may come to an end later this month, if Reese can keep h~ present stock of grapplers out of the hospital and on the mats. Junior Mike Kassab, who became only the fifth Wilkes College wrestler to capture an individual title last December, won't be back to defend his title, since he's going under the knife to repair shoulder damage in early January. But other than that, things have never looked better. A rundown of the Open since 1970 illustrates the ongoing battle with frustration that Reese has had. 197~olonels finished second to the New York Athletic Club by 13 points in the team ·scoring. ·NY:AC had three individual .,:champions, while Wilkes had three wrestlers lose in the finals. Only head to head confrontation was NY AC's Rick Sofman, and the Colonel's Artie Trovei. Sofman beat him 16-2. Bob Roberts and Allain Arnould also made it to the championship round, but couldn't do it Roberts lost to King's College grappler Dan Mazzante, 12-7 in a big upset. Clarion's Wade Schalles makes his first appearance in the Open as a little-known freshman. Slippery Rock's Stan Dziedzic, who went on to capture the NCAA 158 pound title, pulverized the young Schalle!l 13-2. 1971-NY AC once again stands in the way of Reese's championship aspirations. Trovei, Roberts, and Al · Zellner all made it to the final round, but only the incomparable " Party Artie" could bring home a title. NYAC had four individual champs, and Slippery Rock's Dziedzic won again. Schalles didn't compete, and Clarion made very little noise finishing ninth. 1972-Wilkes finished ahead of NY AC by 2½ points in the team shndings. but Clarion leaned over both of them, winnmg the title over the runner-up Colonels by four points. For the third year in a row, Bobby Roberts made it mto the finals, lmt again lost-this time to Dan Monroe of East Carolina, 8-6. Jack Spates of Slippery Rock, who went on to place second in the NCAA's two years later, won the 118 pound title, and a short, stocky freshman named Dan Rohn, who was wrestling unattached, although his school (Clarion) was entered, won the 142 pound title.

Three months later, as a junior, Schalles won an NCAA champion- ship, and was named the outstanding wrestler in the event. 1973-Packed with power , Clarion walked away with the team title for the second year in a row, beating Wilkes by 63½ points. People packed the gym to see Schalles, who made his first appearance in the tourney since his inauspicious debut as a freshman, and he didn 't let them down . He pinned four of his five opponents, and beat the fifth , 17-4, enroute to the 158-pound title. Teammates Dan Rohn (142), Bill Simpson (177) and Tom Turnbull (118); also captured individual crowns. At the NCAA's the following March, Schalles, Rohn and Simpson, all won national titles, as Clarion vaulted into national prominence. Colonel 134 oounder John Chakmakas, and 158-pounder Gene Ashley both made it to the finals, but that was as far as they went. Chakmakas lost a tough overtime bout to Mark Belknap of William & Mary. 1974-The era of Schalles had ended, but Clarion still followed junior Dan Rohn to the winner's stand, beating New York Athletic Club by a wide margin. Rohn won his third straight open title (150). while Clarion's Turnbull made it two in a row ( 126). Another Clarion grappler, Pete Morelli won at 118. Wilkes sophomore Mike Kassab, hot off a second place finish in the Penn State Invitational, won the 142 pound title, beating Lock Haven's Gary Walk in the finals, 6-3, to end· the Colonels three year victory famine . 1975? Who can tell. It's a new year, and undoubtedly new faces will spring onto the championship plateau; faces that may one day be distinguished as national titlists. The Open has brought some of the greatest grapplers in history before local fans , and this year, John Reese and the Colonels would like to make a little history of their own, and break a jinx that has.hounded them for seemingly an eternity.

Nancy, who served as co-captain of the hockey team, played goalie for Coach Gay Meyers for four years. In 1974, she was named honorable mention to the Susquehanna Field Hockey team. Nancy's spirit and attitude kept the team alive many times when things looked dim. · BARB PLAYED HOCKEY during her junior and senior years. She added speed to the team, as the Colonels counted on her when a score was needed. She was named honorable mention to the Susquehanna Field Hockey tournament this year. Both Nancy and Barb will be counted on heavily again when January and basketball season roll around. Nancy , who will be starting her fourth season on the team, serves as one of the squad's tri-captains this year. She is utilized in the forward position and aJds a lot of qower under the boards. Barb will be appearing for the third year in a Blue and Gold uniform. She will be the playmaker and the "spark" of the offense. Nancy is a 1972 graduate of Central Catholic High School when' she played basketball. She is a psychology major at Wilkes, a member of the Wyoming Valley Board of Women Officials officiating high school basketball, and also works in the Continuing Education office at Wilkes.

THE TWO SCHOOLS have not met on a basketball court since the 1952-53 season, and many people say it's about time, while others believe it hasn't been long enough. One person who is looking forward to it is Blue and Gold basketball coach Rodger Bearde. " The local media has been making us look like the fall guy the past few years, and blaming us for the fact ·that this game has not ·come about sooner. And that simply is not true, " Bearde explained. · Bearde also objects to the idea, that Wilkes has everything to gain, and nothing to lose .from a meeting with King's.

The floor was damaged by burn marks during the recent concert, and sanding and revarnishing accollilt for a large portion of the bill. The agr.eement conceming the concert was made between Fang Productions and Student Government, not the college itself.

Fang did not purchase the amount of insurance specified, but actually bought less than · one third of the amount. It was rep?rted that Fang was llilable to obtam that amount from its insurance company and that 1t did m fact try lliltil the day of the concert to do so. It was also reported that Fang's insurance probably won't pay for the damages to the floor, and if an agreement cannot be worked out with Fang, SG will have to either pay the bill itself or take the matter to court. A committee of SG members has been formed to work on the problem. Dean Baltruchitis pointed. out several other items in his memorandum, including the fact that the agreement was not notarized and a floor covering was not provided by SG as agreed in the concert contract. He states that the bmdmg agreement was drawn up to give SG the responsi~ility for administering concerts m the gym and·also to protect the college. In his opinion, SG placed the college in a precarious position to collect damages by not notarizing the agreement. Baltruchitis does not blame Fang Productions, but does cite the inability of SG to administer concerts in the gym. He concludes by stating to SG, " If the current pattern of irresponsibility continues, I could only recommend to my colleagues that no concerts be held in the gym.

The squads began training prospective new members, held tryouts shortly after the last football game, and elected new captains. Tryouts for majorettes a nd strutters were held on the same night fo r both permanent and temporary members. As with most tryouts, everyone tried her best to look calm, smile convincingly, and still perform the difficult routines correctly - all without letting anyone know how nervous she really was. And as usual, almost everyone did just that. During tryouts, the strutters formed small groups and performed one routine that was taught to them, one each group creatw:l itself, and were also judged as they marched. Maria Baloga, Suzie Pudlosky, Frieda Skaff, Susan Suchocki and Susan Fichera became permanent members, making the squad for the second time.

For Old Folks The Theta Delta Rho Sorority will sponsor a Christmas party for elderly people from area nursing homes today at 2:00 p.m. in McClintock Hall. The annual party held by the sorority is called the "Golden Agers Party." Various committees set up within the club are responsible for decorations in McClintock Hall, refreshments and gifts for the convalescent home residents. A special feature of the party will be a visit from old Saint Nick himself, better known as Dean Ralston in costume. In the words of the president, Pattie Kozick, "Dean Ralston carries a laundry bag on his back and brings the presents for the guests." The rest of the afternoon will be spent singing Christmas carols and talking with the older people . Four nursing homes have been : invited to the party this year. They are the Leader Nursing ,Home, _Wattles Nursing Home, Hampton House, and Sunnyside Nursing Home. The residents are transported from the various homes by bus. This "Golden Agers Party" is an annual event sponsored by the sorority every year. It is in fact one of their biggest events all year and takes a lot of time and effort on the part of the girls in charge. An upcoming event is the Junior project, a Christmas party for the sorority girls on Sunday, December 28. After the term break they will sponsor a fudge and brownie sale on Tuesday, February 3, in the Commons. The biggest event of the year for the TDR Sorority will be the Dinner Dance on Saturday, February 20, at the Treadway Inn. :-:•:-:-·•·- OFFICERS - Pictured above are the eight officers of the Theta Delta Rho Sorority.

Simone put Turgeon on his back early in the second period, but couldn't finish the job. RICK MAHONSKI MET his long awaited return to action in the second bout of the night, and kept his team out in front by battling to a 4-4 draw with Eastern Champ Lance Leonhardt, in one of the best match-ups in the evening. The Blue and Gold 126-pounder went out in front with the second period reversal, and held that lead until Leonhardt did the same to him with two minutes and five seconds left in the bout.

Sl.d.,e 1l·ned TY/·th A n kle LnJ·u ,:y Dona . ,r l The buzzer had sounded in the Colonel gymnasiwn Monday night. signaling Wilkes' 71-59 basketball demise at the hands of Lock Haven State. But hard luck came in pairs that evening for the Blue and Gold, and the worst loss was yet to come. Lying at midcourt, writhing in pain was guard Tom Donahue. The 5-10 junior, playing in only his first collegiate debut, and several other Colonels had flashes of brilliance. But Bearde's pre-season concerns over inexperience and the relatively little time that most of his team has played together as a unit, were justified. STILL, THE COLONElS, with 6-4 forward Jack Brabant hampered by a pulled muscle in his knee, and game as a Wilkes cager, had captured the hearts of the less than capacity crowd that looked on, with his sensational play. But now, he was holding his injured ankle, as coach Rodger Bearde rushed to his side. AT FIRST, IT was feared that Donahue's ankle might be broken, but a later indication was that cartlidges in the foot may just have been stretched. Still, the injury is expected to keep him out of action for a few weeks or more. There was not much to cheer about in the opening day loss, but Donahue, a transfer from Luzerne County Community College had the fans on their feet time and time again, with some of the best moves this side of Walt Frazier. Working from his point position in the Blue and . Gold offense, the Hazleton product drove, shot, and dribbled his way through bewildered Lock Haven defenders for 15 points. And while he may not be ready to challenge Clyde, he initiated almost all of the excitment in a below average Colonel team performance. It didn't take anyone long to realize that the Colonels have plenty of talent. Freshman Kendall McNeil banged home 16 points in his playing at less than 50 percent efficiency, almost pulled the game out tying it at 51 all, after being down by as much as 17 t)oints. But Monday's defeat is not what's bothering Bearde. The immediate future is his primary concern right now. The Colonel's opened conference play last night against Delaware Valley, and have two other tough MAC foes, Philadelphia Textile and Susquehanna staring them in the face next week. And without Donahue, they are going to be hurting. " It's just unbelievable what has happened, " Bearde said in disgust. " We played Jack too much as it was Mondaywithhisinjury,andnowthis happening to Tommy." Two months ago, depth at the guard position was the least of Bearde's problems. Now, a lack of it may shoot his team's MAC playoff hopes down before they even get off the ground. DONAHUE WILL HOPEFULLy be back by the Scranton Holiday tournament, and sophomore Kenny Hughes, who was a starting backcourt performer last season, is expected to return to the lineup sometime in January.

The mermen and women of Coach Rick Marchant hope to do well in the meet and determine from the contest where their strengths and weaknesses lie for the coming season. The team will compete on Saturday without the diving of sophomore Cindy Glawe, who suffered a bead injury during practice. Cindy is recovering well, but will be out for some time, and the women's team will miss her stellar performance. Saturday's competition will be rugged. The Ursinus men's team finished in sixth place last season in MAC competition at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland, while the Ursinus women placed first in overall competition; beating their nearest competitor, Gettysburg by over 30 points. The swimmers will travel to Dickinson next Tuesday to compete with that team for the first time. On Friday December 12, Lock Haven State comes to the Aquadome for a 4 p.m. meet. Both of these contests will feature separate competition for men and women. Spectators are admitted to the Aquadome to see the action free of charge. The teams are captained by: men's - Garry Taroli and Paul Niedzwiecki, and women's - Lisa Waznik. , advantage to pull out of stalemate and gave Wilkes a 5-2 lead.

They were recommended by faculty and chosen for the position byJ;he Deans' Council. Lataro said that at first she thought she and Zaborney were put on the committee as token members.

Munson, however, believed that discontent arose over the opening band. "They weren't very good," he said. " The crowd came to see Slade and Leslie West, not the Van Allan Belt." He added that there was a long set up time before Slade appeared, which probably increased tensions in the crowd. "Slade also seemed to stir the crowd more than they were."

The concerts "were begun on an experimental basis," said Acting President Rooert S. Capin, and it was agreed that "if there was any adverse publicity, we'd have to re look the situation." According to Charlie Munson, SG vice-president and chairman of the concert committee, about eight fights broke out at the gym. "One gentleman was removed carrying a hammer. '' Windows were also broken, the gym floor was scarred by burn marks, and beer cans and liquor bottles littered the floor. He added, "In general, the audience was terrible. There was a lot of drinking, and a lot of dope smoking." Munson said that the Fang security men, who are instructed not to fight anyone, attempted to keep order, but the "group antagonized the guards. They had no choice but to defend themselves."

Since art work requires a lot of time, enthusiasm, and technical knowledge, Christine sometimes is inspired by a passage she once read, "The painter paints life with the palette of the inner eye." "I try to portray myself into my work," Christine explained. "It's soft but to the point. It's structured and I think I am too." "I let my imagination run away,'; she added, " to an extent that you know what it is, but it's me."

Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 717-829-1089 By Lisa Waznik If you think that "Hot 1 Baltimore" is just another show in the television series, you are seriously mistaken. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 20-23, the Wilkes College Theatre Department will present Lanford Wilson's contemporary stage play in the Center for the Peforming Arts. The play is unlike the television series in many ways, most significantly, the stage presentation is not a comedy. In fact, the play has no plot but is instead a character study of the people in the hotel. The playwright developed the idea for the presentation from his belief that trains no longer ar.e used as they used to be. He hated air travel because it was too hurried and does not permit viewing from the countryside. Similarly America is too hurried. It is no longer what it used to be. The country no longer appreciates what used to be important. In this light, the Wilkes cast has decided to emphasize that America has become an apathetic society forgetting the past, hurrying by life and allowing our lives and society to crumble. ' f\s the "E" in the hotel sign has fallen out, so are the lives of the hotel's society which led to the decision not to censor the play's dialogue. Just as you would not add or subtract from an artist's finished painting you would not change the original script of the author. He m~ant for the script to be as real as · . possible. As Jay E. Fields, the director , says, "When you try to take away from reality, it is only one more symbol of what society has stooped to do ." Lanford Wilson wrote the play with 15 acquaintances in mind. In fact, Conchetta Ferra!, who plays "April:' in the off-Broadway production, wrote her own part in the play. " You can't change or take away from real character. Profanity is only used when the individual is ; pushed beyond his limit as are the I characters in "Hot l Baltimore," Mr. Fields says. The student cast is involved in the production as much as the .original actors are. The students have viewed the play in New York and have also studied · the history of Baltimore to get a better background. To get the feel of hotel life, the entire cast visited Wilkes-Barre's Fort Durkee Hotel on Public Square. They examined the rooms, sat in the lobby, and talked to some of its ancient borders. They have also studied other old, crumbling buildings in the area. Pricilla Wnuk, who plays "April" in the Wilkes version, is a newcomer to the theatre. A housewife and mother of two children, she had never before even seen a live performance, much less land the lead in a production. She says she was drawn to the character. After spending as much as 15 hours rehearsing for her husband in the studio, she has come very far in her role. · Wh.e n the cast went to New York, they had an opportunity to talk with ,. the actors and actresses in the play . Some cast members were deeply moved ai;id had to be assured by an actress that it was only a play. Fields explains that. this particuJar play was chosen for two reasons. The Theatre Department has scheduled Ameri<;an plays this year as a bicentennial observance. "Hot 1 Baltimore" is a play about America and what it has become. The "pro-American" playwright is only showing what he doesn't want to happen. The other reason for the presentation is that this play shows us where the theatre is today. Just · as "Three Men on a Horse" depicted life in the 1930's, "Hot l Baltimore" is America today. That is the main reason it won the 1973 Drama Critics Award for the best American play. Fields, who spent two weeks with the cast just discussing ideas to aid in each actor's portrayal, has also seen the off-Broadway show five· times and has taken notes on every presentation. He feels that student actors can do a better job than "adults" because they have a better ability to accept people for what they are and for what they should be. He hopes the "dirty words", will not blot out the true meaning and turn people off. He only asks viewers to give it a chance . . .:Reg_ i stration Viewed By Freshmen ByCattiy Hotchkiss Pre-registration and registration, who needs them? This seems to be the major sentiments among the freshmen interviewed in the Commons during the past week. Some freshmen have already formed an opinion about the evils of pre-registration and registration before they have had to cope with the special problems they bring. Some don't even know what !hey are. Others are already pre-registered and awaiting the great day -of the great line and last minute schedule changes that are a part of being at the bottom of the totem pole. Here are a few of the gems from among the definitions of pre-registration and registration as seen through the eyes of freshmen. "It stink,s! You have to stand there and you don't get what you want anyway," says one wise freshman English major. Another English major had these words to say: "I only registered once, but when I did, I found it to be quite chaotic." It wasn't only the English majors that felt this way. An economics major said, "It's enough to drive you insane! " And a chemistry major called it a · " very frustrating and disappointing experience." "It's probably the worst part of your college experience," wer.e- the 1 words of a music major. These students all seemed to know the evils and frustrations of registration and talked mostly about "It." But there were also those who didn't worry about registration. One ·of these was Robyn StanczyK, an English major, who answered the . . . . ? question with: "I think it's cool.,, regis~rat10n . and pre-registrat~on.

Andrea Kizis, a sociology major, summed it up this way. "It's a hassle, that's what it is. For a freshman, some of the classes are closed most of the time, but for the seniors have first choice and usually get the classes they want." The Wilkes College C-0ncert and "I wish I were a senior so I could Lecture series will present its sixth get what I want without waiting presentation of the season on forever and changing everything Tuesday, December 2, at 2 and 8 around when I get through the line," p.m. in the Center for the we're the words of Jodie Beckus, and Performing Arts, . featuring . the English major.

However, pavement excavations will be temporarily blacktopped. Work on the project will resume ~arly in January, with the expected completion date set for April 15. The West Northampton Street project involves the replacement of storm and sanitary sewers and sidewalks, the installation of a new concrete· base for the road where excavations were made , the repaving of the street, and the planting of several trees along the curbline. Also, several utilities are upgrading their lines on West Northampton Street at the same time. Pennsylvania Power and Light Company is installing underground electric lines to replace its utility Roles, and Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company is replacing portions of its gas and water mains. However, financial difficulties prevent the Wilkes-Barre Steam Heat Company from replacing its lines on the street, which are reportedly in relatively good condition despite their age. In other road reconstruction developments, an unexpected pavement cut was made Sunday on South River Street near P~rrish Hall for the replacement of gas lines by PG&W. The William Heck Construction Company, contractors for the utility , is installing plastic piping on the east side of the street, working southward from Hotel Sterling . The work is being done in the evening and on weekends to reduce traffic disruptions on the vital roadway, since the laying of new storm sewer lines on the west side of the street by contractors for the Redevelopment Authority ties up one lane of traffic.

Of course there will always be personality conflicts, but it seems, this year especially, that students are asking for room changes because of petty excuses. They did not give it a chance. A Big Adjustment However, there are two girls on campus who have lived together for three years. What is their secret? "It is a big adjustment having a roommate .. . especially if you are not used to living with another person," explains Kathy Tilt, a senior living in Weiss Hall. "It is very important for the two people to compromise, and if you can't compromise by the time you are 18, then you are just spoiled," continued the elementary education major. Kathy's roommate is B.J. bey, also a senior education major. " I guess the reason why Kathy and I have made it as roommates is because we both realize that it is our room. Also we always talk out our problems . . . - we have to compromise and cooperate with each other. It all ,adds up to a happy environment, " said the blond coed. One wonders how they can do it. What happens when they have a fight? According to the student teachers, who are both educating children at the 3rd Avenue School in Kingston, they never hold a grudge. " As long as I can remember, we never have had a fight last longer than a day. We discuss the problems and the next day the whole incident is forgotten,'' affirmed B.J. , who is a native of Schnectady, New York. Kathy agrees. "We blow up and we exchange words, then five minutes later it is forgotten. We don't believe in holding grudges and we get everything out in the open." Sharing Confidences What are some of the advantages with getting along with a roommate? Both girls agree that they can share confidences with each other.

New Cheerleaders Chosen Last Week The cheerleader squad gained five permanent and three new members after tryouts were held last week. Four sophomores and a junior made the squad for the second time, while three freshmen became new members on a temporary basis. The atmosphere at the gym last Wednesday night was filled with tension and anticipation as over a dozen girls did some last-minute cheers and tried not to look nervous. Fourteen girls were judged on their cheerleading ability, which includes poise, appearance, voice, coordination and enthusiasm. Cheers were done in groups of three and the girls also performed several cheers individually. Many of the cheers included splits, rolls and cartwheels, and , every girl was required to perform a jump and a cheer that she created. The judges Gateway Peanut .

Their "trainer", Rodger Bearde has drilled them well, and he is fully aware that his thoroughbred has probably more ability than any previous steed bred in the Wilkes stables. But youth and immaturity are a great equalizer out of the gates, and Bearde is approaching the race with caution. "THE TALENT IS definitely there," Bearde explained. " And I just hope we can overcome first year mistakes in =·=· the early going." :::: Bearde's concern is certainly justified. Entering his Sophomore letterman Bob Welch leads the list of candidates, who are battling for the two starting wing berths on the team. While perhaps not the best defensive player the Colonels have, Welch's shooting has more than compensated for the other flaw. "There is no doubting that Bobby is a great shooter, " Bearde admits. And right now, he is trying to adjust defensively to the move to a wing. If he can do that, we'll · be in good shape.

NEWS ITEM: ALBRIGHT'S IN Wilkes thought big, and came away with nothing. Albright thought small, and right now has the opportunity during the next three weekends to come away with everything, including a national championship. Albright, a football team that was a decided underdog to the Colonels in the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division" race earlier this year, was. notified Monday that they have been selected to participate in the NCAA Division III post-season playoffs. The Lions are one of eight teams that will be vying for a berth in the Dec. 6, national championship game in Phenix City, Alabama. Other schools selected were MAC "Southern Division" champion Wi~ener, Ithaca, Fort Valley College (Macon, Ga.), Wittenberg, (Ohio ), Indiana Central, Colorado College, and Milsaps (Miss.). In the quarterfinals, which will be held Saturday, Albright travels to Widener, Fort Valley will be at Ithaca, Indiana Central visits Wittenberg, and Milsaps takes a long trip to Colorado. It's been quite a year for Albright. No one even gave them half a chance in the MAC race. Pre-season prognastications had Wilkes as a shoe-in, with possibly a slight challenge from Susquehanna. But Albright? They didn't stand a chance, critics said. Fact is, they did stand a great chim<;e, and with no one believing in them but themselves, they went out and battled the odds, and came away a champion. Maybe they were a better team than Wilkes a month back, and maybe they weren't. But when the final whistle blew, the Lions had a 20-14 victory, a Middle Atlantic Conference championship, and one foot in the . post-season playoff door. It took them one week after their victory over Rollie .Schmidt's crew, to move into the NCAA Division III top ten, and from there, it was clear sailing . Just to make sure however, they scored a one-sided 56-o win last weekend over hapless Upsala College. Had a playoff berth not been staring them in the face, the final might have been 35-14. But making a good impression is important in playoff selection. Now it's a whole new ball game. SIDEBARS: While it is not official, rumor has it Albright almost got overlooked in the selection process. California Lutheran College was offered a playoff berth, but they were using five ineligible players on their team . The NCAA offered a referendum : get rid of the ineligibles and comp~te, or keep them and sit it out. They preferred to sit it out.. .chances are that if Wilkes would have beaten Albright, they still would not have received a tourney berth. The selection committee frowns on t wo teams who have already played each other being in the same tournament, and with Ithaca in, and already displaying a lop-sided victory over the Colonels, it would have been doubtful. Solution: get Ithaca off the schedule. �November 20, 1975 Page8 WINTER SPORTS PRE-VIEW · ISSUE WRESTLING BASKETBALL SWIMMING ••• Steve Leskiw Named Diamond All-American BY PAUL DOMOWITCH There have been only three All-Americans in Wilkes College sports annals. Now there is a fourth. Steve "Winky" Leskiw, a hard hitting outfielder for the Colonel baseball team,., was notified recently that he has been selected to the 1975 small-college All-American baseball w1it-first team. LESKIW IS THE first Blue and Gold diamondman in tw,tory to receive All-American acclaim from tlle National Collegiate Athletic Association. Two Wilkes performers were s£'1ected to the NCAA Regional All-Star team; Dave Kaschak in 1971, and Marty Pobutikiewicz in 1974, but neither rated national merit. "It's a great honor for Steve," his coach, Gene Domzalski explained, "and one he truly deserves. What makes his selection even more · impressive is that the all-star team takes in both Division II and III of the NCAA." The last all-american at Wilkes was football player Jeff Grandinetti back in 1973. Preceding him were soccer star Ed Manda in 1966, and another gridder, Joe Gallagher back in 1948. IN ADDITION, SEVEN Blue and Gold wrestlers have captured national championships.

He hit .410 last season, in guiding the Colonels to a 14-4 season, and was among the nation 's collegiate leaders in slugging percentage with an .869 average. In addition, he led the team in runs batted in with 24, homeruns with five, triples with five, walks with 13, and was second in base hits with 25. HIS ATHLETIC TALENTS do not end on the baseball diamond either. An All-MAC linebacker for the Colonel football team, the stocky 6-0, 215-pounder has led the team in tackles the past two campaigns.

Double entertainment awaits Wilkes students tomorrow night when Leslie West and Slade appear in the gym for an 8:30 concert. A slight conflict arose between the athletic department and Charlie Munson, vice-president of the. Student government, about the use of the gym for the concert.

Slade, a four member group, will be the first performance. According to Rico Ginanni of Fang Productions, " Slade was the number one band in England and is now attempting to achieve the same in the United States." Munson said that the group "was supposed to be another Beatles and is still trying to break into the American market with its type of hard-rock music.

All v iews ex pressed in letters to the ed itor, columns, and viewµo in ts are t hose of the indi v idual wr iter, not necessari l y of the public ation . , Everyone seems to believe, in private, that the presidency of a college or university is an impossible job to fill. The usual search committee can agree on the job description, but at the same time they are convinced that (1) whoever they pick will be W1worthy of the institution and ( 2) they do not want anyone who will ever appear on campus. Typically, the job description does not acknowledge what everyone knows: no one connected with the institution wants a president to do the job described. The faculty does not want a leader in curriculwn reform; the trustees do not want better management if it threatens such pet programs as intercollegiate athletics; and the students do not want to be straightened out by the president - which is what the alumni want him to do. The characteristics mentioned in · the typical job description divide into two clusters, those that would qualify the candidate for canonization and those that would make him a multimillionaire in the business world. However, if no one wants the president to appear on campus except for occasional visits, the second cluster of qualities, the management skills, are irrelevant to the job. That leaves as the crucial qualities required of a new president the hwnane gifts · - sensitivity, awareness, appreciation, flexibility that make for an effective spokesperson for higher education but .have no practical consequence for the day-to-day running of an institution. We may go further and argue that even these qualities are not important for the presidency; here we can follow the advice of Machiavelli that "a prince ... need not necessarily have all the good qualities . .. but he should certainly appear to have them. " A search committee that accepts the logic of this argument has its job immeasurably simplified: hire an actor as president. The job description might read , something like this: "Wanted, character actor with wide experience playing professional roles. Should be six feet or taller, have slim athletic build, look good in tweeds and casual sport clothes. Some skill in tennis, squash, skiing helpful. Must be able to read aloud with_ W1derstated deep_conviction, memorize parts quickly, ·have good memory for names, faces, quotations from Shakespeare, · enjoy touring. Some possibility of improvisational and ad lib performances after first year." There are drawbacks to the plan. One is that with so cleat a job description for the president, it would be harder to blame him for the inadequacies of the faculty, administration, and student' body and harder to keep him happy in W1congenial working conditions. A g9()d actor with a strong script could move from the provinces to the big time very easily. Also, some colleges might actually recognize that they need leadership from a president, that their need is vision rather than appearance. If an institution looking for a president should come to the conclusion that it needs more than a persuasive front man, it will have to eschew the beauties of this plan and try to find someone who genuinely has vision, energy, drive, and capacity to lead. And to persuade such a person to be president, the college will have to explain why anyone with all the required qualities should think of wasting them on a presidency. To demand all those management skills, the institution will have to demonstrate that it is willing and able to be managed; to expect all those good, humane qualities, it will have to demonstrate that it knows how to treat its leaders humanely, that its faculty, students, trustees, and alumni have a modicum of that sensitivity, openness, and understanding .being demanded of the new president. And before being able to make demands of the new president, the institution's members will have to answer his question, ~'What 's in it for me?

ART EXHIBIT-James Castanzo, a senior Fine Arts major, will exhibit a collection of his art in the Conyngham Gallery from Sunday, November 16, to Tuesday, November 25. The exhibit will feature oil paintings, watercolors, prints and sculpture. A print of "a man seated under an umbrella" is Castanzo's favorite piece. "Of all the prints I did," he said, "that one worked right from the start." He said his favorite medium is linoleum, because "you can get more spontaneous results than from other areas." Most of the work iii the exhibit will be what he has done on his own and -not what he has done in class. By the time the exhibit starts, Castanzo said he will have been preparing for two months. Castanzo works for an advertising agency and is also a defensive . end and tackle for the Wilkes College football team.

It's that time of the year again, friends, wher_i we decide what courses we want and we have to settle for what courses ,they have left. Registration wasn't hard at all for me this year. Being a-' bi~ senior, I just walked into the S.U.B., told them what courses I wanteg apd if they didn't have them, to invent them. Of course I got a lot of funny looks but I'll tell ya - it's a good thing they offered student teaching or my congressman would have heard about it. ·· · But for you poor underclassmen, I realize the whole process can get' pretty frustrating. 1 remember standing in line back in my sophomore days: • Me: Here's my pre-registration form. Give me my cards and let me out of hete. l'm skipping my favorite class with that cute guy in it to register so this better be worthwhile. Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and put your section letters ·on this form. It is incomplete. So I dug through all my papers to find my master schedule and I put the section letters down. Then I headed back to the end of the line which by this · time was backed up down the alley by the library. Finally I got there again. Me: Here I am again, Lady - complete with section letters. What can you do for me? . Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and put your times on this form. It is incomplete. · Me: Sure, Lady. Should I get you a cup of coffee while.I'm out? So I went back to the end of the line. (By this time I'd missed two classes, lunch and a dentist appointment - but who was counting?) Then I made it back to the front of the line again. My hair strewn all over my face, panting from dehydration, I presented my paper worn with age. Me: C'mon Lady - cut me a break - did I do it right this time? Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and get your advisor's signature on this form. It is incomplete. ·· Me: But he signed it. Can't you see his "X" there? · She wouldn't believe me so I had to go hunt for my advisor. I could have forged it myself, I guess, but I would have lost sleep over it. ( I have the best conscience in town.) I found him and quickly returned. Me: O.K. lady this is it. I'm set this time. Just give me the cards. I'm due at the hospital at 2 o'clock for rest and recuperation. Lady: I'm sorry. Your . biology is closed, your sociology class is overcrowded, your Spanish isn't offered, your speech is at another time, and your English is non-existent. Me: What do you suggest I do? . Lady: Change your major or transfer to King's for a semester. It wasn't her fault that I goofed the whole thing up, but we always have to blame someorie else for our mistakes. Well, to make a long story short, · a:fter she saw the wild look in my eyes she jiggled a couple of things around and I finally got my courses.

The Colonels travelled to Misericordia for another very tough and tiring game. Wilkes lacked " Zip" throughout the game , but they were on attack most of the time. The girls wanted a victory and battled right to the very end, winning 1-0. THE HIGHLANDERS OF Misericorida were out for the Colonels hide, and as a result many shins and ankles took a severe beating. The defense, however, never yielded to the high pressure, and fine performances were turned in by Nancy Roberts, Jean Johnson and Kim Flis. The lone Blue and Gold goal was scored by senior co-captain Susan Funke, assisted by freshman Cathy Yozwiak. On Wednesday, the Colonels had a chance to attain a perfect league record as they went against a strong team from Marywood at the latter 's home field. The Blue and Gold took a strong 3-0 halftime lead, but the Wilkes Gay Meyers said, " This team was a girls were all battered and taped-up pleasure to work with.

Champs Receive Byes IM Playoffs Begin Monday BY DAVE ORISCHAK This past week of intramural football activity has been an anti-climatic one when compared with the rest of the season. The games that were played were meaningless, since all playoff positions were decided upon by last Thursday. Three teams from each division will participate in the playoffs . The American division will be represented by the New Raiders, Dirksen and Butler , in that order. Representing the National division will be Dennison, F ritz Wheelers and the Rams. The Riders will enter the playoffs with an unblemished record, a 100 point offense led by Vince Trentlange, and a league leading defense. that has been scored upon only once. The Riders have had their success tabbed as being a result of their relatively weaker division, !Jut with talent like Bob Armstrung, Nick Lazorak and Mike Menichini this team is sure to cause concern in the playoff circle.

Both teams have similar records in the regular season and are well balanced. It will be hard to pick a favo rite in this contest. Tuesday's matchup will see a strong Fritz Wheeler team going against a much weaker Butler squad. The Wheelers have shown themselves to be a very explosive team, in more ways than one, and should have little trouble with Butler. On Wednesday, the Riders will play on the first round winners. The Dennison squad will take on the first round winner on Thursday. The playoff games will be set up so tbat the teams playing will be seeing each other for the first time. Two teams in the game division may only meet in the championship game, which will be played next Friday.

A few months ago, the 20-year--0ld junior quarterback from Westmoreland City wasn't sure if he would ever lead a normal life again, let alone play football. With pre-season practice only two weeks away, Wicherowski was stricken ill, and doctors discovered a hole in his heart. Suddenly, football didn't seeni so important to Wicherowski, as he battled for his very life. Doctors worked hard and quick to find a solution to the problem, and finally managed to burn the opening closed. A month later, he was back on the gridiron, and taking charge of the Indian offense. Wicherowski has learned a lot over the past few months, and has done a lifetime of ~rowing in a very brief time. He battled death and won, and last weekend, given a second chance by the Almighty, he battled the Colonels and won once again. Our hats are off to college football 's " comeback player of the year. '' SCRIMMAGE NOTES Just a few notes on last Friday's Wilkes-Bucknell wrestling scrimmage. LONNY BALUM, who will be wrestling at 134 pounds this season, sent one Bucknell grappler to the locker room with an injury, and pinned another. Now that he won 't have to worry about dropping weight, it appears he has fo und his freshman form (NCAA Division III third place finisher ) once again ... RICK MAHONSKI is back in action once again after a year layoff because of injuries. He lost to his Bucknell opponent, who was one of their best lightweights, but he still was impressive. He will probably be wrestling at 126 come December . . . What can you say about MIKE KASSAB? Wrestling with a bad shoulder, the 150 pound junjor made mince meat out of his opponent. He's going to have some year . . . DAVE GREGROW never looked better as he went up against one of Bucknell's better upper weight kids. He had the kid on his back most of the time, and is going to be tough at 190 this season . . . sophomore REGGIE FATHERLY, who wrestled 190 last year, has put on some added poundage, and looked good at heavyweight. He pinned Bucknell's number one man, and while giving up a fe~ pounds, made up for it in tremendous quickness, and suprising strength . . . what a crop of freshman the Colonels have.

" If After 22 years of hard work and determina tin, Wilkes' own Mohammad; John Reese, stands before the one peak that he and his wrestlers have yet to surmount-wrestling in the NCAA University Division. The challenge is there, and the Reesemen have always risen to the occasion, and this year should prove no different. Gone are the days of the MAC tournament, where1t was not uncor:nmon to find nine or ten blue and gold _grapplers reach the finals every year. Bring on Oklahoma, Navy, Lehigh, Iowa and Oregon State. ' STARTING IN 1946 with only six . wrestlers, Wilkes has steadily built itself into a small-college wrestling powerhouse. Instrumental in this rise to national prominence was the hiring of John Reese as wrestling coach in 1953. Reese has brought his troops along slowly. First he scheduled scrimmages with larger schools. As the team progressed, some of these schools were added to the Colonels regular season schedule. · Finally, as the blue a·nd gold established themselves as a smallcollege power, some of the best wrestling schools in the country _were booked on their calendar. This was capped off by a meet with the University of Oklahoma at Wilkes' own gym in 1974, the year the Sooners were national champs. HOW DOES REESE continue to provide superior teams year after year? The coach had several reasons. The primary ingredient is, of course, quality wrestlers. " Many kids are looking for a small school, which offers a top notch wrestling schedule," he said. "We fill both of these requirements here at Wilkes and have been fortunate to recruit some talented kids." The coach himself is also drawing card, since Reese is considered one of the top wrestling coachs in the country. His a knowledge of the sport is surp, 5sed by few. What this all adds up to is as fine a wrestling program as you can find anywhere. But the challenge facing them this season is still awesome. Wilkes enters the UniveristyDivision as a dwarf among giants. MOST OF THE schools in this division have enrollments of at least ten times that of Wilkes. The local institution will be the smallest school competing in the tough eastern regionals next March; a tournament it will have to wrestle through to qualify for the nationals. The coach and the team have never been more enthusiastic, however. Reese added, "As a coach, you don't have to do much to get a team up for a match against Lehigh or Navy. The kids are proud of themselves and want to show these bigger schools just how good they are. "It looks to be a surprising and promising year. The brawn and the brains are there. With a little luck, who knows ? Mountains have bee•1 known to fall. Cage Coach's Dream To Become A 'Running' Reality This Season Ever since he took the head coaching job here at Wilkes four years ago, Rodger Bearde has had dreams of tutoring a "running " basketball team. As he slept, he continually visualized one of his players sweeping a rebound off the defensive backboard, and executing the perfect outlet pass all in one motion. Then, the break down the floor, and finally the two point layup. It was Bearde's brand of basketball ; fast, moving, and perfectly executed. . But one look around, brought him out of the dream world and back to '. reality . He defintely had talented ballplayers in Steve Ference, Clarence Ozgo, and Greg Buzinski, who became the nucleus around which Bearde built his early success story. But they weren't the running breaking type of ballplayers the 35 year old men tor visualized in his dreams. SO, HE INSTITUTED a slow, deliberate style of offense to suit the personnel he had, and waited for another day; another era. Well, the waiting is over! Left from the Ference, et al era are solid cagers like Jack Brabant, Frank Britt, Kenny Hughes, and Bob Welch, and just coming onto the scene ar-e the best crop of freshmen in Colonel cage history. Suddenly, Bearde's dreams have turned into reality. " We certainly have the personnel to do a bit more running and breaking this year," he explained, "and while we're not just going to abandon our deliberate offense for the "run and gun" type, we will have a lot more movement this year." Last season gave the first hint of the Colonel changeover. Bearde went to New York City in search of READY FOR THE CHALLENGE - The task awaiting John Reese and c?mpa~y is ! monum~ntal one, but the Colonels have possibly the best giant-killers m the busm~ss.

Judge Rosenn explained that many eligible candidates were nominated by interested friends of the college, and this includes people in other colleges and universities. Recently, ads were placed in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal so that the search committee will receive a broad scope of applicants and will not limit its view to a narrow area. "Most applicants are primarily from the eastern United States," said Judge Rosenn. Since the first meeting of the Presidential Search Committee was October 10, "it is too early to sum with what success we have made," he said. Interest Shown The judge said, however, that there is a suprising amount of interest around the country from aspirants wishing to fill the position. When asked whether Acting President Robert S. Capin might possibly fill the post permanently, Judge Rosenn stressed, "Mr. Capin has not filed an application, but I see no reason why the committee should not also give him consideration if he's interested in filling the vacancy." Capin became the first acting president in the college's history on September 1 when Dr. Francis Michelini left Wilkes to accept a position as head of the State Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities. Capin also is the official Dean of Academic Affairs, although he has delegated some of these chores to other college personnel. The mission of the Presidential The judge pointed out that the search committee is broadly composed for the purpose of reflecting the various college interests. The committee consists of seven Important Qualities members of the Board of Trustees, Judge Rosenn said that among the three members of the faculty, qualities that the committee is including Professor Benjamin J. looking for in a new president is Fiester, English Department; and "experience in the academic field, Professor Charles B. Reif, chairman familiarity with the problems of of the Biology Department ; and two education, administrative and fiscal students-Edward Zaborney, Stuexperience, and talents in fund dent Government president; and raising-all which are critical in an Debbie Lataro, Wilkes senior. independent college." Judge Rosenn said that from the Besides these, · he said the applicants, "selection will be made president's personality, how he ,by a process which we hope will meets people, his appearance, and ' focus upon who is most qualified." intelligence also are vital qualities. ·Interviews also will be conducted.

Wing Details AFROTC Program By Joe Buckley " To offer an opportunity for area students to earn a commission in the Air Force and to add another dimension of appeal to Wilkes College" is the purpose of the ' AFROTC program at this college, according to Lieutenant Colonel Richard L. Wing. Colonel Wing, professor of Aerospace Studies and Commander, of AFROTC Detachment 752 at Wilkes, said there are two reasons for having Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps programs at civilian schools: the first is the input of people with different educational backgrounds from different schools into the service. The second reason is the output of those people back into society. In 1972, Dr. Francis Michelini said of the establishment of the AFROTC at Wilkes, "We are particularly interested in this program because of the opportunities it will offer to local students, particularly in financial assistance." Now, according to Colonel Wing, about 10 per cent of the students in AFROTC are on full tuition scholarships achieved competitively. Scholarships Available Scholarships are possible for studies in math, physics, nursing, and medical programs with the exception of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program. Since the purpose of the Hahnemann program is to produce doctors for Northeastern Pennsylvania and the purpose of the AFROTC's scholarship program is tQ produce flight crew personnel, the two programs conflict. The AFROTC program also furnishes uniforms and AFROTC textbooks. During the two years of the Professional Officer Course, a subsistence allowance of $100 a month is paid during the school months. Pilot Competition Keen The keenest competition in the program, according to Colonel Wing, is for pilot training. The greatest opportunities, he said, are in missiles, electrical engineering, and computer technology. There are still some students,according to the Colonel, who do not know that an AFROTC prog~am_is available. " We are a rmnority " h "d "W h g~~up, t f e ~ Be ~ di er~n f o~us. . cormntag to th~ then, is o primary lIDpor nee program. "Our survival," he said "depends on the public's understandin of AFROTC."

The influx of letters , both positi ve and negative, was phenomenal as compared with previous issues thi s year . It is good to see individuals finally taking part in the expression of valued opinions . For a while , we believed that our audience either did not know how to manipulate the keys on a typewdter or worse , that they had grown apathetic to college life . . One of the BEACON'S many purposes is to keep readers informed about campus news and generate public interest. If you have an opinion , we ask that you express it in writing as often as you feel it is necessary. If you don't have an opinion nor wish to form one, it is very unfortunate. Although we cannot expect all of our readers to be as dedicated in writing fair and numerous letters as Dr . Charles Reif, we hope that mo,r.e students, · faculty and administrators will take advantage of their opportunity to have their sentiments read occasionally on page 4. It al so is a fine sight to see our out-of-town subscribers participating in our letter column . Some people feel that much indifference exists at W ilkes when it comes to activities and writing letters to speak your m ind . Too many people are afraid of criticism of their viewpoints by their peers . However, no one would know this by the healthy involvement in last week's issue by writers whose letters extended to a second page . We also would like to commend those men and women who stood behind their individual attitudes by signing their names . Just remember . the key to getting things accompli shed at Wilkes is to GET INVOLVED! Topics Never Dull Iii Lecture .Series The Concert and Lecture Series has always provided the college and surrounding community with a rainbow of speakers and performers . Looking back , remember Gus Hall , the American communist party candidate in 1972, standing between guards posted at the exits of the CPA . Last year we had the privilege of hearing F. Lee Bailey,famou s trial lawyer now Patty Hearst's defender .. We even had a visit from Star Trek's own creator, Gene Roddenberry . This year the series expanded its list to Moshe Dayan and more recently; Dr . Paul Griesmer . Griesmer's talk on abortion drew some comment as some said it was " one sided ." People felt that Griesmer should have presented both sides of the coin on the abortion issue . We have always felt that a speaker is in demand for what he has fo say. We do not believe that a speaker is obligated , under th e auspices of the Concert and Lecture Series, to tell " other sides" to the talk of the night. Each lecturer is unique because he is a proponent of a certain stance . The Concert and Lecture series provides ample opportunities each year for wide discussion on either the speaker's viewpoint or our own beliefs. The series never leaves us snoozing . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _..,________""', Beacon . . . • . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . .. Donna M . Geffert Editor in Ch ief . . . .. . ...

The idea was to establish a musical ensemble which would permit the alumni and top music students of the Wilkes Music Department a chance to practice and perform together. Mr. Veremeychik of the Music Department organized the group, undertook the difficult task of Congresswoman Offers Internships finding a rehearsal time which was not conflicting with the busy lives of twenty students and professional musicians, and set up a tentative program of music. Today, after a month of rehearsals; this dream died. It is a tribute to Mr. Veremeychik that we made some very fine music during that month. It is also a tribute to him that the group lasted this long. From the start, this group has been plagued with absences. Certainly some were for very valid rea_sons. Many people ~oo~ efforts to notify Mr. Veremeych1k lil advance and even send in their music for that day._Others merelr didn't show up! \\'.Ith the ten~tive concert date rapidly approach':"~• and ~ 0st one fourth of the mus1~1ans rrussmg, the grou1,1 has been ~olved, at least for the present t~e. The end of another dream at Wilkes. To the EdJ.tor: Each semester Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman invites fi e students to work full-time in h;r Washington office on legislation, research and correspondence in addition to other office responsibilities. The semester program can be combined with a summer internship, if the student wishes. Because our office receives so many applications for internships, it is helpful if we hear from students applying for the spring semester as To the Editor: In a letter appearing on October early in the fall as possible. We require a personal interview, if 30, Dr. Reif makes it clear that his feasible, either in New York or belief (not certainty!) in current Washington·to help us evaluate each hwnan overpopulation warrants a perhaps painful decision of disapplication. Students can apply for a semester posing of hwnan life. He also agrees that abortion internship by sending a letter and reswne to Ms. Marilyn Shapiro, involves the killing of a hwnan Administrative Assistant, Office of being. We may therefore conclude Rep . Elizabeth Holtzman, 1027 that a hwnan embryo is a member Longworth House Office Building, of the hwnan species and a candidate for the slaughter house, Washington, D.C. 20515. Sincerely, At this point, I must question Dr. Marilyn Shapiro Reif's logic. If it is all right to kill Administrative Assistant human beings, what are the criteria Office of Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman that determine who should be the first to f>e killed? I said before that a lesson was taught. It is simply this: apathy is alive and well among the students and alumni at Wilkes. It was well taught to those persons now graduated, and is apparently still being offered on the curriculwn. Although this particular experience is in the Music Department, I remember well that it was true in other areas when I was a student, and expect that it still prevails throughout the campus, much to the shame of everyone who has ever said, "Why should I bother?" · Again, I wish to thank Mr. Veremeychik and those students and alumniofthemusicdepartment who were faithful to the dream for some very gratifying moments of music making. Th~nks a~so to the others for a lesson m reahty. Yours truly, . Earl D. Orcutt, '69 B.A. in Music Reader Discovers Solution To Envir·onmental !Alemma Going along with his logic, those who can be of greatest service to the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT should survive. An embryo with a full life ahead of it certainly has better potential for the future than people who, in all likelihood, have less left to offer to the well being of the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. . Well, following that reasoning, I cannot help but arrive to this conclusion: Dr. Reif and I should be among the first ones to terminate occupancy of this planet for the sake of its environment; and I suspect, the sooner the better.

'Rhymes With Plague' Dear Miss Montague (rhymes with plague): , By Marianne Montague f he Crush' Sometime in our lives each one of us has experienced what is known as "The Crush." We fall head over heels in love with someone we hardly know but whom we're sure is the person of our dreams. I've been waiting for Prince Charming to r ide his white horse into my kitchen for years now. I've even considered eating a poisoned apple ( like Snow White ) to see if he comes any faster. Anyway I know all the symptoms of having "The Crush" and I thought I'd give you a little basie lesson. See if you have any of the symptoms. There are several basic forms of crushes : For the Girls : You think your crush is the greatest invention since the parking lot, but he doesn't know you exist. A typical day in the life of this poor, forlorn soul would consist of: Girl : I hope I see Joe today. The last time I saw him he opened his mouth and I thought he was gonna say " Hello." But he burped instead. Maybe he'll at least remember me as the girl who heard him burp. Enter Joe. Girl : Hi, Joe. (Girl meits all over sidewalk. ) Joe looks at her weirdly and then steps right over her. Girl: (Pulls herself back together from her swoon ) He's probably embarrassed because I'm the girl who heard him burp. Maybe next time he'll say hi. For the Guys: She knows you exist all right. How can she miss you? You follow her everywhere. Guy: Let me see now, according to my master schedule of her classes, she should be getting out of history class now. Enter Gail. Guy: (Drops book on Gail's toe ) I'm sorry, Gail. It was an accident. Gail : That's the SEVENTEENTH book you've dropped on my baby toe today ! ! ! Do f OU have some perverted reason for this? Is somebody paying you to have me crippled for life ? Guy : I just wanted you to notice me. Did you notice me? Gail : Did Ireland notice the potato famine? Did the United States notice World War II ? Did Dean Ralston notice the parking gate after he hit it? Ves. I noticed you. Are you happy? Guy: Does that mean you like me? Will you go out with me? Gail : I like you just as much as I like final exams. I could suggest a place for you to go by yourself, but I'm too much of a lady to tell you. One ·m ore Example: You know him a little but you freeze when you're near him. Girl: (Smiling) Hi, Jerry. J erry : Hi. Girl : (Still smiling) How are you? Jerry : Lousy, I have a terrible cold. Girl: (Smiling still ) That's good. ~ Jerry: I'm flunking out of everything. Girl : (Smiling, ever smiling ) That's good. J erry : My mother wants to throw me out of the house. Girl : That's good. (Smiling into space.) Jerry: Is that all you can do is stand there and smile and say, " That's good?" Girl_: (Hypnotized smiling) Hi , Jerry, how are you? Yes, the story of the crush is often a sad story. People who have crushes are dreamers ; but as you must know by now, this colwnn is written for dreamers, by a dreamer.

Along with the majorettes, these girls do two routines at the games and practice many hours weekly preparing for their field sliow. Among the eleven girls are four named "Susan," a coincidence which can obviously be very confusing at times. The strutters are headed by co-captains Laura Davis and Susan Rinehamer. The latter said that the girls are very enthusiastic and "the only problem is that they won't bring their shakers to practice." One of the girls, · Frieda Skaff, wasn't able to perform because of an injury. Despite this, she still came to practice and showed a lot of STRUTTER SQUAD-'Pbe Wilkes struUers provide entertainment at each football game when they perform enthusiasm. At this time she has their well-rehearsed routines on the field.

They also pointed out that their names are embroidered on them. Sue Rinehamer praised the crowd at Wilkes' games, saying, "they make us feel we're doing something worthwhile," and also complimented the band, and especially Mr. Weber. Other squad members agreed with her, and stressed that he is very cooperative. Cooperation is a key word to use when describing the strutters, majorettes and cheerleaders. They work together as members of the Women's Athletic Association and support each other on the football field. The three squads are planning a special routine for the last home game in honor of the bicentennial. They will perform on the field in red, : white and blue outfits while the band plays a medley of bicentennial ' tunes. Strutter tryouts will be held this month. Prospective members of the , squad are judged by their . performance in two routines and marching. They are temporary , members for their first year and can become permanent members after a second tryout. __ 'j Wilkes Polar · Bear Club Sets Trip J)uring Jantlary Skiers, both experts and begineers, can really . enjoy their By Janine Pokrinchak jMark Twain, provided an evening Although Gillespie and Company semester break thisy~, by joining .

But the 17-6 win over the Colonels has possibly given him a little breathing room to work with now, and he may well be around to see yet another season. It seems that college alumni and administration at the Selinsgrove institution aren't too pleased with the job that the 55-year--0ld mentor has been doing this campaign, and rumors were circulating around that he would be out of a job very soon. LIKE WILKES, THE Crusaders were also expected to do big things this year. Thirty lettermen were returning from a team that went 4-5-1 in 1974. But among those five losses were some very close contests. Westminster beat them by seven. Albright by five, Wilkes by a mere two after a fifty yard Crusader field goal fell short by two yards, and Waynesburg by one. So you can see why there was a considerable amount of anticipation down there for a winner. · But what is expected, and what actually is attained are two very different things, as Wilkes can tell you only too well. They opened the year with a loss to Grove City, aii.d kept going down hill from there, until they finally pulled out a win two weeks ago against Lycoming. A 1-6 log was a long way from the 7-0 that they were shooting at. So, a dejected Susquehanna team, and an all-but crest fallen Wilkes unit clashed Saturday in a game of "pride." There was only one difference. A win b)-'. the _Crusaders would mean something. Wilkes, despite being 2-3, was still Wilkes; a team feared and looked up to in MAC football circles. For Wilkes, beating Susquehanna seemed little consolation after what had happened the two preceding weekends. And on that note, Hazlett went back to Selinsgrove carrying his shield in victory, instead of carrying an unemployment check in defeat.

Medical careers in podiatry will be the subject of a seminar to be held Tuesday, November 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center, room 101. The speaker will· be LeGrand Newman, director of recruitment at . the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. - Newman noted that of the 44,000 students presently enrolled in pre-medical courses iri the United States, only 14,000 will be accepted ' into M.D. programs. Alternate medical careers are open to many of '" these pre-med students, Newman said, and one of these alternatives is ,. podiatry. The podiatry profession deals primarily with foot health and its relationships to the health of the entire body. The great majority of podiatrists are in private practice, although the podiatrist, may wish to join the staff of general hospitals, geriatric homes, rehabilitation centers, clinics, group practice, and other health care institutions. He may choose to teach or -conduct research, developing new materials instruments, and equipment, medi: cations, and techniques. Other • opportunities include commissions : in the military service, or acting as consultants to industry or pharmaceutical companies. There . is an increasing need for podiatric practitioners. Many smaller communities acutely need the skills and knowledge a podiatrist ' can contribute. In 1964, for example, there was a shortage of about 3,000 podiatrists in the United States. By 1985, 10,000 additional podiatrists will be needed, the American Podiatry Association reports. Also, there are not nearly enough women practitioners in the profession, and colleges are actively seeking female applicants. There are only five accredited colleges of podiatric medicine in the United States, including the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia. · PNPA Accepts BEA CON COUNT :oNIT toget you through any mathematical problems you (or the professors) come up with ...

According to Robert Capin, acting president, this is not true. Capin said, "Everyone must have respect for people and property. If a person does something that disregards this, then corrective actions must be taken. This has always been the case." The acting president stated that he hasn't heard anything about student conduct being out of hand. "At the Dean's Council at the beginning of the school year I mentioned that I expect the regulations concerning student conduct in the student handbook to be adhered to. The subject has not come up since that time." Al Foderaro, housing director, confirmed Mr. Capin's comments. "The policy concerning student conduct is the same this year as last year. Student conduct here is good compared to' other colleges I've seen." When asked why the party policy in the dorms has been changed, Foderaro replied, " The students requested that something be done about the parties. They came to me complaining that they'd pay money at the door to get into a party and then not get any beer." Although there have been occasions that students have gotten out of hand, the housing director stated that such cases haven't been too frequent and they're really nothing to worry about.

I thought I'd give you a little "sneak preview" of what some people will be wearing to the celebration. So pick out a costume and come along. Girl : Hi, Mare. Isn't this a great party! Me : Yeah. I don't believe some of the costumes. Girl: Look, there's Mr. Meyers and Dr. Rodechko. I don't understand. How come they came as a bat and an Indian? Me : Well, Dr . Rodechko wanted to be " Batman and Robin" and Mr. Meyers wanted to be the " Lone Ranger and Tonto." Girl: What happened? - Me: They compromised and came as Batman and Tonto . Girl: Oh, oh. There's Dr. Reif. Me: In his Litter-Bug costume. (Forgive me, Dr. Reif. I couldn 't resist it. How could I have a Halloween Party and not invite you?) Girl : Is Mrs. McDonald coming? Me: I think so - but she couldn't decide between being "Old McDonald" and " Ronald McDonald." She'll probably end up coming as a hamburger that says "here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick-chick." Girl: Look; There's Robert Capin, Nelson Carle, Ted Veremeychik and Alice Rader. Me: That was a great idea. They came as " Bob & Carle & Ted & Alice." Girl: Look at poor Mr. Abate. They won't let him in. Me: That's because he came as a parking ticket and nobody will pay for him. Girl: I don't see Dean Baltruchitis around. Me : That's because he came as " the Invisible Man." Girl: Who's that man in the funny red wig? Me: That's Mr. Shaw. He's " Raggedy Andy. " Girl: How come Dr. Turoczi isn' t here? Me: He got the dates mixed up. He thought the party was Tuesday but that was Blood Donor Day. Girl: Yeah. When he showed up in his vampire costume everybody thought the Red Cross had a new way of drawing blood so everybody ran away. Me: Poor Dr. Marban. She's trying so hard to pass as Queen Elizabeth I of England but I'm afraid her accent is giving her away. ' Girl : Is anybody else here? · Me: There's Mr. Moran .as "Clark Kent, " Dr. Fiester as "Big Ben," Dr. F:all as " The Phantom of the Opera," and Mr. Santos as "Santos Claus." Girl: That costume you have on is great. I was really scared when I first saw you. I never saw anything so ugly in my entire life. Me: I hate to disillusion you, girlie, but I'm not wearing a costume! Girl: You could have fooled me. Well, I guess it's time to go. Me: That was a really terrific party. I got the prize for most original and I didn't even wear a costume. They should have a party for Groundhog Day and everybody could get dressed up as groundhogs and for _April Fools Day so ev~rybody could get dressed up as fools .. Girl: Dream On!

Funds would not be allocated to a club which did not complete or plan the required activity. The proposal was presented with the intention that it would provide more weekend activities on campus. Several club representatives stated opposition to the proposal. Frank ' Baran cited the discrimination against smaller clubs and stated "Clubs are designed for their own club members, not the whole campus. Their purpose is to interact as they choose." SG member Al Berger said that the proposal is "forcing someone to do something that everyone on campus should want to do."

Woinan by the Se The Wilkes College Sordoni Art gallery will feature the works of American painter and printmaker Will Barnet for its next exhibition which runs from Saturday, November 1 to Sunday, November 23. The exhibition has been assembled by Associated American Artists of New York and will cover his etchings, lithographs, woodcuts and serigraphs dating from 1932 to those completed this year. Barnet has greatly influenced printmaking through his own work and as a teacher. Always an innovative artist, he was the first to create lithographs using the techniques of oil painting directly on the stone. He protested the ecological plight in the 1930's through a series of etchings titled, "Air in the City". Born May 25, 1911, Barnet received his art education at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School and at the Art Students' League in New York. He is a prize-winning artist and has exhibited in numerous one-man shows and important national graphic shows. His work can be found in major graphics collections in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Library of Congress, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Public Library, Whitney Museum of American Art and many others. The Associated American Artists Galleries have prepared a catalogue of Mr. Barnet's graphic work, tracing his development from realism through abstractionism,. and then to the balance he has obtained today by combining the two styles. Copies of this catalogue will be on sale at the exhibition. Fahmy Backs Teacher Aiding "A good teacher is a good observer," stated Dr. Mahmoud H. Fahmy, associate professor of education, describing the importance of the teacher aiding program. The teacher aiding program has been in existence for six years and is a voluntary program open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, with no prerequisite courses necessary. The program gives students the opportunity to develop both deeper understanding and sensitivity to the complexity of teaching as a process. . The program this semester involves 180 students who work in all public schools in Luzerne County including parochial schools, Wyoming Seminary, ,and many private nurseries and kindergartens. Next semester the program will offer students one credit for this experience. .The program requires the student to spend two hours a week in a classmember of the custodial staff. The student does many J.obs from tutoring small groups, composing bulle_tin boards to correcting tests. The student is an active part of the class- semester. room experience.

The Physics Department assigned the room to the organization because of the club's growing membership and service·to the department and the college. With physics enrollment on the increase, a club room was necessary to serve as a communication link between freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. · , The membership of t~e ~lub is presently 26 ~d still growing. A special tutoring program has been set up for clitb members having difficulty with any physics course. Free tutoring in analytic problem-solving and theory explanation is available. . Mathematics, biology, and chemistry majors and Wilkes-Hahnemann candidates are also welcome to join. The club reminds fr_es~en that membership in such an organization is a credit on their college transcript. Honorary societie~ also open to interested students are Sigma Pi Sigma (SPS) a national physics honor society and the National Society of Physics Students.

Joining · the team as a · freshman, Papadopoulos was unaccustomed to the articulate skills required to make the soccer ball do exactly what he wanted it to do, so he had to compensate for that and adopt his own brand of soccer in order to make the grade on the Wilkes team - and that style became hustle. NOW, THREE YEARS later, he has won the respect of his coach and fellow players by simply out hustling opponents to the ball. As Peter puts it in his modest fashion, "I'm not overly quick, so I have to try and hustle my man to the ball." But neither hustle nor skill seem to be enough these days for the sagging Colonels, who have been having a rough time.winning games. "It's a matter _of everybody uniting to do the job at the same time and as the team gets more experience, they get more confidence and do a better job," added Papadopoulos. A lack of depth and some key injuries at the wrong time have hindered the Wilkesmen from turning out a record they think they are worthy of. Currently, the - Colonels .have lost some scoring punch with Mario Apuzzo and Roland Igweze injured. · "WE SEEM TO play a strong first half," he said, "but then in the second half, we start to lag a little. We have a good defense and a good goalie," he added, " and the offense has· managed to pour in some 13 goals to date." But, as· Peter explained, when the team plays together as a unit they do well, and run into problems when some of the players try to carry the weight individually which detracts from team unity. Papadopoulos points to the fact that the team has many underclassmen on its roster and only a sprinkling of seniors and veteran players. For instance, Lenny Vekkos is in goal for his initial try as a Colonel, and many of the midfielders are not as comfortable moving up and down the field with the ball, as a seasoned college player would be, but this process takes time. Time may be running out on the Blue and Gold hooters this annum, as they play their next to last game tomorrow and wind up their slate the following Wednesday. Papadopoulos is quite hopeful of the Colonels chances next year and says if Coach Eaton can come up with a good recruiting_: year to go with the array of returnees, then the hooters can look forward to a healthy winning season in 1976. But before that, you can bet that fullback Papadopoulos and the other 10 players will .. be putting out 110 per cent to win the remaining games. Actually they deserve a lot more credit than they are getting right now. But if they can find guys with the hustle and desire of Pete Papadopoulos, then things will surely brighten up for Coach Eaton and his players. Fine Rookie Crop Beginning New Era In Colonel Basketball BY PAUL DOMOWITCH Gone is the era of Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference, which under the coaching genius of Rodger Bearde, saw the Wilkes basketball program rise up from the ranks . of obscurity to take its place among the respected. The past two seasons, with that trio forming the nucleus of the Colonel attack, they did what no other Blue and Gold club preceding them had ever accomplished. They won 34 games, while losing only 15, and captured their first tournament championship ( Scranton Holiday Tournament-1973) in history. BUT IN ITS place is born another era, which by the time it has ended, may even surpass the tremendous exploits of Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference. The names may not sound familiar to you now, but in given time, every Colonel fan from here to eternity will be shouting their praise. Bearde, who will begin his fifth season at the helm of the Wilkes basketball .team, is coming off his greatest recruiting drive in history, and the freshmen he has landed look every bit as promising as Ozgo and company did four short years ago . Heading the list are three New York City prospects, who give you good reason to believe that "the Big Apple" is the basketball capital of the world. Their names are Kendall McNeil, and Matty Peterson out of the Bronx; and Freshnian Davis Silver Lining In Disnial Harrier Cloud r': PETE "Hustling his man" Title Down The Drain (cont'd from p. 12) # yesterday, and his leg is getting better .. .A lingering second guess question- If Wilkes had tried to block that final Albright punt in the fourth quarter, instead of setting up for a return, would they have gotten to the kicker, who handled a high snap? BAVITZQUIZ ANSWERS 1. Dan Pastorini of the Houston Oilers holds the records for fumbles in one season. His 17 in 1973 is tops. 2. Bobby Mitchell averaged 11.62 yards every time he touched the football during his career. 3. Roman Gabriel was the number one draft choice of the Oakland Raiders back in 1962. 4. Gale Sayers was the only running back to gain more than 1000 yards in 1969. 5. Lydell Mitchell of the.BaltimqJ,:~. ~c.>1!~ . set a record in 1974 by catching 76 passes. The Wilkes College cross-country team has undergone a major facelifting as the 1975 season winds to an unspectacular close. A few months back, head coach George Pawlush was optimistic that his team would finish with their first .500 campaign in the sport's history at Wilkes. But fate has a way of handing setbacks, and the Colonels have certainly had their share of them. With a few personel quitting, and still others layed up with injuries, the harriers stood at 1-10 entering yesterday's dual meet with Scranton. ' BUT IN EVERY dark cloud, there is a silver lining, and for Pawlush that spells Jeff Davis. The gutsy little freshm.an out of Coughlin High School started the .year as the Colonel's number four runner, but as luck and a great deal of perseverance would have it, he is now the team's top individual. Despite recent setbacks to Susquehanna,, Messiah, Elizabethtown, and Albright, Davis has impressed people with his individual performances. In the E-town outing, he placed second enroute to his best run of the year. "Jeff has really shown me something these last few weeks,'' Pawlush explained. " With some of the other personel leaving the team, Davis has picked up quite a bit of the slack, and is developing into a fine runner." . . .__ Another Colonel harrier, who is coming into his own is Steve Standiford. Recently elected one of the new team co-captains along with Jeff Metzger, the sophomore Hahnemann student has cut almost three minutes off of his times from a year ago. In· addition to improving as a runner, . Standiford, has moved into the role of team leader and i~ doing a great job " spearfieaaing l:e'am•morale. DESPITE THEIR LACKLUSTER record, spirit and togetherness on the team ranks higher than it has ever been previously,ancJ the team is eagerly awaiting the MAC championships, which will be held on November 8, at Gettysburg College. Manhattan's Tim Brymn. But Bearde didn't quit · there. Coming back to the Keystone State, he took the best Pennsylvania had to offer in John Zapko of Pennsbury, Tony Nardelli of Dunmore, Wyoming Area 's George Oschal, Gary .'.foczylowski of Bishop Kalinowski in Scranton, Freeland's Tom Laputka, and Tom Donahue of Hazleton. FOR TWO SEASONS, Donahue, a 6-1 guard, has been the mainspring behind the success of Luzerne Community College basketball, and he comes to Wilkes with impressive credentials. Add these freshmen to a team that already has veterans like forward Jack Brabant, who has an outside chance at becoming the greatest · Blue and Gold scorer in history before he graduates, and you have ample reason to believe a new era of greatness is in sight. And Bearde is certainly one who believes. " We hflve more overall talent right now,' ' he said, "than we've ever had in my previous four years here." Just an example of that talent is McNeil, who led Cardinal Hayes High School to a secong. place finish in the New York City cage tournament, and was regarded as one of the finest scholastic performers in the area a year ago . Along with talent, the freshmen also bring heighth, something the Colonels may have been lacking during the previous era. Zapko is 6-6, Nardelli and Brymn, 6-5, and McNeil, who it seems can jump through the S. Franklin St. gymnasium roof, is 6-3. "I'm really looking forward to this .season," Bearde said confidently. And with a freshmen crop like that, it's easy to understand why. Netwomen Take Two of Three bAVIS "He's picking up the slack" For Pawlush, there will be no off-season this year. Immediately after the MAC championships, the 28-year-old mentor is going to begin one of the most intense recruiting drives in Wilkes cross-country history. "I'm going to send out over 400 letters to prospective runners throughout the East, and hopefully induce some talented individuals to think about coming to Wilkes. If I can land even five from that list, our program will be in good shape for the future." -DO MOWITCH- 1 The Wilkes women's tennis team won two of three contests this past week. The squad lost to Bloomsburg State College, 9-0, but cam(,!__back to beat Baptist Bible, 5-0, and 'Misericordia, 3-2. Winners in the Baptist Bible outing were JoAnn Englot, Pat Steele, JoAnn Pugliese, Renie Corbett and Diane Polacheck, and Chris Koterba and Nancy Cardillo. Renie Corbett, only a freshman and a very strong tennis player, led the Blue and Gold team to their victory over Misercordia. Miss Corbett filled in for a Wilkes player who was unable to attend the match and went on to win a singles victory for the Colonels. Renie then turned around, teamed up with her regular partner, Diane Polachek and the two girls put another victory on the scoreboard. ' The other winner in the Misericordia game was co-captain Pat Steele in singles. �Page 11 The Beacon October 30, 1975 Unbeatens Collide On Tuesday · I Sports Chatter BY DAVE ORISCHAK By Paul Domowitch QUICK TO BLAME FOR ONE BRIEF moment, Bobby Irwin experienced the joy of being a hero in only his first season of collegiate football. With just about two minutes remaining in last week's Albright contest, and the Colonels tr1:1 iling the Lions by six points, the 6-4 Irwin latched on to a Greg Snyder aerial in the endzone, that would have won the game. But just as quickly as he had it, the ball trickled off his fingertips and it was ruled incomplete. Laying there on the Albright turf, seemingly ashamed to get up, the lanky freshman wide receiver saw the world pass before his eyes. He had a chance to win the game for Wilkes, and he let it slip through his hands. His teammates were disappointed, the Blue and Gold fans were as sullen as church mice, and young Irwin felt like the loneliest person alive. BUT ffiWIN ISN'T the first receiver to drop a pass, and needless to say, he won't be the last. After the game, as he sat dejectedly in the locker room, his teammates tried to cheer him up. Senior offensive tackle Bill Metzger tried to console the misty-eyed youngster, but for the present, nothing would rid the self-guilt he felt. It never fails. Fan_s are quick to blame the obvious mishap, like his dropped pass, but. what of the other Colonel errors during the afternoon, that were just as much or even more responsible for the 20-14 loss that cost them the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. Albright's eight-yard scoring pass in the first half didn't happen accidently. Someone in the secondary got beat. And what about the penalty that killed a Wilkes scoring drive in the third quarter. The Colonels had a first and ten at the Albright twenty-yard line, and were moving effectively, when a holding penalty moved them back fifteen yards. Three plays later, they were forced to punt. There' were 20 Albright points up on the board before the afternoon came to a close, and they all obviously signify mistakes. So, it's not right for fans or for that matter Irwin himself, to blame him for losing the ballgame. He's shown a lot of promise in his first year as a Wilkes gridder, and he is going to show a great deal more before he hangs up his cleats four years from now. Take heart Bob, and look to the future, instead of dwelling on one dropped pass. AROUND THE HORN JUST A SHORT acknowledgment to my buddy P.J., who should know all about " big jerks." Next week, this colwnn will be composed of only one · · syllabled words, so you can understand it. THE EJECTION FOR the season of Jim Stehle, who is a standout intramural football player for the Rams, has a bad smell to it. Thrown out of his team's second game this season for fighting, Stehle was told he would be ineligible for the rest of the year. Len Washmanski, who runs the intramural program for Director Joe Skvarla, when he isn't playing for bennison Hall, inflicted the severe and unsubstantiated suspension. There is no doubt in our minds that " Pin" should have been given a one-game suspension for his actions but ejection for the season is utterly ridiculous and unfair. ' . ' Why the gripe? Just this. Dennison (Washmanski's team) and the Rams ;~re competing in the same division, and· play next week in a key contest. There is nothing like getting rid of the competition before it even steps onto the field. • - Skvarla initially levied a one-game suspension on Stehle - which was justified. The big junior sat out the Ram's game with Fritz Wheelers last week. But after complaints by Washmanski, that he should not be allowed to return, Skvarla altered his decision on the grounds that "he might do it again." Sure it might happen again. But if every player with a hot temper were suspended from the league, there wouldn't be enough people to make up one team, and that includes Washmanski. Where is the justice ... to Stehle, and to the Rams, who apparently have lost his valuable services for good, with the playoffs only a few weeks away? A WOK AT the Colonel grid squads scoring by quarters in their first five games, indicates that they have not accwnulated a single point in the fourth quarter. The totals show 27 points in the first period, 29 in the second, 33 in the third, and Oin the fourth and final quarter, for a total of 89. On the year, Wilkes has given up 13 touchdowns to the opposition. Eight of those have come by way of the air, while five were ground strikes. The five game defensive statistics show linebacker Steve Leskiw pacing the team in tackles with 71 hits. Right on his heels is sophomore linebacker Tony Couto, who has 66. AND FINALLY, WE are completely baffled by the National Football League Players Association's accusations aimed at commissioner Pete Rozelle, for his banning of WFL signings, now that the league has collapsed. ·They should be pleased - especially the borderline players, because they won't have their jobs taken a.way from them ( at least not until next year) by the unemployed WFLers, but instead, they are claiming that Rozelle is trying to stop competitive bidding and higher salaries for their services. There is just no satisfying some people, especially when they're making the "minimal" money of NFL players. The Fritz Wheelers defeated the Rams 14-0 last week and Dennison beat Colonels House 8-0, to set the stage for a feature matchup next week between the Wheelers and Dennison. Tom MacIntyre put on a one man show as he scored 12 points in the Wheelers-Rams contest. His first score came on a crowd pleasing 70 yard punt return and the second came on a 40-yard sweep around right end. This game strengthened Macintyre's hold on leading scorer giving him a total of 36 points. ' The Wheelers defense held the Rams scoreless. This is a tribute to . the monwnental rush put on by 'Mean Joe' Mullarkey and Bruce 'Benedict' Davis. In another important game last week, Dennison squeezed . by the Colonels 8-0. It was a poor showing by the Dennison squad in more ways then one. Their inability to score caused much frustration and uneasiness among the team members. On Saturday, however, it was a completely different Dennison team that rolled over the Vets Club 28-6. Dennison played the type of game that they are capable of, and any uneasiness that may have been present on ·Thursday was absent· Saturday afternoon. As a result of this game Dennison recaptured the league lead in total offense with 76 points. Both the Wheelers and Dennison are now undefeated. They will clash this Tuesday, in what is sure to be a barn-burner, to decide first place in the National Division. In another game last week the New Riders conti_nued on their winning ways as they defeated Dirksen 14-0.

Student Government: What Have They Accomplished? By Wilma Hurst and Patrice Stone After completing seven weeks of classes-onehalf of the semester-we feel an analysis of the progress of Student Government is in order. With Zeke Zaborney as president, Charlie Munson as vice-president, Howie Stark as treasurer and Gina O'Brien (who is presently ill and not an active member of SG) as secretary, the organization seems to have the potential to accomplish quite a bit. Each member seems to be hardworking and sincere in his desire to do his job. We now ask the .questlon: Is Student Government doing its .job, and just as importantly, what is Student Government's job? After attending several meetings and observing fund request upon fund . request, and hearing SG proclaiming over and over again that their budget's been cut $20,000 from last year , one comes to the conclusion that SG's job is solely to allocate money; About half of each meeting is taken up by fund requests. Each request is given close examination, which should · be the case, but many times the body reacts to the request as though they are deciding the fate of a criminal. Question after question is thrown at the person making the request until one begins to wonder if it would have been easier to rob a bank. Student Government was responsible for organizing the undergraduate homecoming activities, however . It can't be denied that much was offered this year, making it one of the best Homecoming Weekends, but this is a yearly dut.y · SG and they are expected to do a good job. . It is also true that more concerts will 3e offered at Wilkes as a result of efforts by Charlie Munson. He organized the Barry Manilow concert almost 'single-handedly, which is commendable, but we give Munson credit for this rather than SG ·as a whole. Student Government did make a genuine effort to get involved in campus issues by expressing their concern over the two infirmary nurses leaving. SG should be involved in such · matters on behalf of the students they represent and they reacted admirably in this situation. But what else has Student Government accomplished? No campus is perfect. There's much that can be-done to improve college life at Wilkes. Sitting in the board room of Weckesser Hall and debating fund requests does nothing to get the ball rolling. Student Government should be sensitive to the problems of the students. In many cases students don't even know who their SG representative · is, which may be partially their own fault , but which proves that SG hasn't made any real effort to reach out to the people it represents. There is no real coordination between Student Government and the student body. Students may not understand the importance or the purpose of SG and SG seems to take neither the time nor the effort to make its purpose known. Student Government has no useful function if it does not serve as a voice for the student body, and it cannot accomplish this purpose if students aren't aware of the potential SG has. Are SG meetings open to the entire student body? They are, but not many people seem to know for sure. SG should make it known that their doors are open (if they are open). Posters could be put up every week stating what will be discussed at the upcoming meeting and SG representatives could make it known on a more personal basis that the meetings are open to the students, and the students are welcome there. Plenty of students on campus are willing to get involved in college life, but just require the initial push. It is therefore up to SG to make it known that they are representatives of the student body and are willing to respond to student ideas. Student Government should not be thought of as merely an organization that gives·out money. It is the voice of the Wilkes College students and should strive to fulfill that purpose. In this way they will not only be improving their own organization, but the college as a whole. �October 23, 1975 The Beacon Page 2 Returning Veterans Discover Readjustment Difficult Step .

Dave Philips, night city editor of the Times Leader Evening News, }Vill speak to journalism students of Wilkes Coll~ge on Monday, October 27, at 7 p.m. in the board room of Weckesser Hall. The future newsmen will be lectured to on "what they will find when they enter the news world of tQday," said Philips. He will also talk about competition between newspaper, television and radio. When asked what advice he would give to aspiring journalists, Philips said "They should get a good well-rounded education and become extremely careful in detail. " He added that "there is no hope for any story or writing if it doesn't have factual accuracy." At the Times Leader since 1961, Philips has had wide experience in the news field. He said "I've filled all of the desk positions except for sports." Previously, he has worked as a reporter-photographer in Hazelton and on a small daily paper in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

Letter to the Editor Upcoming Play May Be Censored The Theater Department is opposed to a certain word contained in the script of " Hot L Baltimore" and is reportedly trying to have the word in question censored. According to a statement made by Howie Stark at this week's Student Goverment meeting this action could result in a lawsuit against the college for altering the script. The play is scheduled to open Thursday, November 20. SG members also criticized the recent lecture by Dr. Paul Griesmer for its being obviously one-sided, and expressed disappointment that the Concert and Lecture Series would sponsor what was referred to by one member as "out. and out propaganda." The body suggested that both sides of an issue be presented in the future to avoid unfair influence.

By Frank Baran The recently-organized Pittston Club is not just for people from Pittston-it's for anyone who wants to have a good time. The Pittston Club is one of the newest student clubs on campus, having been formed in mid-September. The purpose of the club, says treasurer and public relations director Ray Ostroski, is simply to have fun. "Students at Wilkes need an outlet after going to classes every day and studying for exams,'' Ostroski said. ''The Pittston Club intends to supply them with that outlet. We set up parties to give students a good time-a chance to meet new people, to laugh about things, and to have fun.'' "I believe relieving the strain of education is just as important to learning as the classes themselves are. If you're happy, you do better in school" Ostroski added. The 'club was formed by several students who felt Wilkes needed "a different kind of club," one that would "liven up the campu.<i." This desire to form the first club which would be devoted exclusively to social purpo~es led to the formation of the Pittston Club. Within two Pittston Club at King's College. days, over 80 students had signed up Simply put, club membership is as members.

A year ago, the Colonels wanted it very bad, as did their coach, Rollie Schmidt, who had not coached a league champion since 1969. In response to that desire, the Blue and Gold went out and beat Albright 14-10, and the MAC crown was theirs. · THIS YEAR IS anothet story. Wilkes is coming off a disappointing loss to Ithaca, which saw their pride and their national playoff hopes suffer a bitter blow in the 30-0 defeat. Even worse, the. ColQnels suffered a pair of injuries that could . have a direct bearing on the outcome of this week's game with the Lions. Fred Lohman, who has established himself as the greatest fullback in Wilkes history, was forced to leave the Ithaca game midway in the third quarter with a leg injury, and his status for Saturday _is doubtful. X-rays, which were taken Tuesday morning would show whether or not Lohman had a cracked bone in his left leg. If the pictures are negative, it will be up to the doctors, and lady luck to decide if he can play Saturday. ·SHORTLY AFTER LOHMAN was helped off the field, linebacker-punter Donny McDermott injured · his hip, when an Ithaca player gave him a cheap · shot .as he was getting a kick away. However, McDermott's injury is more painful than it is serious, and his chances of playing Saturday appear good. While the Colonels must rebound from a loss, Albright is flying high after pounding winless Susquehanna University last Saturday 42-20. The conference victory was the Lion's fourth of the year, and the only two MAC foes standing in the way of their fifth league championship in history, is Wiikes and Upsala. Wilkes will not be seeing anything from Albright that they didn't face in last year's game. The Lions still work out of the wishbone offense, and about the only time they throw a pass is on the sidelines before the kickoff. THEY ARE EXCLUSIVELY a running team, headed by halfback Frankie Francks, and his backfield mate Bill Gallen. Both Gallen and . Francks are averaging nearly five yards a carry, and Wilkes will have to stop them if they hope to leave Reading in a happy mood, as they did a year ago. The Colonels asset on defense is that they have the type of unit perfectly equipped to stop the wishbone. Their secondary, which will be concentrating on Albright's wide running game, is a good one. Tony Schwab had the best day of his career in last year's win, chalking up more than 15 tackles, and teammates Fred Marianacci and Dave Trethaway are equally adept at stopping the run. In last year's win, Marianacci played with a bad shoulder, but he'll be 100 per cent Saturday and that's not good news for the Lions. McDermott's presence at outside linebacker will be added plus for the Colonels also. He has impressed .the coaching staff with his hard, sure tackling all season long, and if he is healthy, Wilkes · will be in good shape. What it all boils down to then, is wanting it, and we've got a feeling that come Saturday afternoon, that want is going to deliver a victory to the Blue and Gold doorstep. GRID GRIT: If Lohman is not able to play Saturday, Schmidt will start sophomore Ed .

They aren't : exactly barnstorming the league and do not strike fear in the hearts of :their opponents. In fact, they will be lucky if they manage to win one . third of their games this season. But, there is more to life than winning soccer matches. This is 'probably an overworked phrase and is a perfect rationalization for a lot of losing teams, but the Colonels are a decijcated soccer unit. THEY OPERATE AGAINST tremendous odds. Their locker room hasill concrete floor, and one line of -benches down the middle of the room with hooks on the wall instead of lockers. Those minor inconveniences merely make it a little uncomfortable but when you don't even have enough players on the squad to conduct a full scrimmage in practice, it is almost impossible to have a winning team. It makes it excruciatingly difficult when the starting eleven players · have to play against each other i guring workouts. There is virtually no opportunity to learn one another's moves and develop any cohesion at all. Coach "Chip" Eaton has asked anyone who is interested in working out with the team to come to Ralston , Field for practices in a feeble attempt to fill out the squad. Coaches Eaton and jim Ferris and volunteer helper Mike Sieber strain on the practice field as much as any 1 of the players. They are a devoted group of athletes.

They deserved it and whether they win another match or not, they are certainly on the road back to respectability against major odds; a path Eaton knows well from his own illustrious playing days for Wilkes in the late 60's.

BoardofObstetricsandGynecology. On Abortion Local Obstetrician Blood Donor Day Set for October 28 . . By Mary Ellen Alu Strongly emphasizing the advantage of a liberal education at the collegiate level, Dr. J. Douglas Brown, provost and dean of the faculty emeritus at Princeton University, spoke to more than 500 friends and donors of Wilkes Saturday morning at the Convocation and De_dication of the Stark Learning Center and W.B. Schaeffer Memorial Hall. Dr. Brown spent almost half a century in higher education and as an economist, he was one of the designers of the Social Security Program. _1n 1971, ~Hiott L. Richardson , then Secretary of Health, aJVarded him the highest award of the Social Security Administration, The Arthur J. Altmeyer Award, for his contributions to the Social System updating over four decades. Dr. Brown related his address to the Bicentennial theme as he spoke on "Liberal Education for Leadership : 1776-1976." He traced the educational qualifications of those who drew up the Declaration of !ndepend~nce and the Constitution and pointed out that 31 of the 55 mvolved m the Constitutional Convention were college . graduates with liberal educations. Dr.Brown Also a featured speaker was Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Jr., son of the late first president of Wilkes. He paid a tribute to those who followed through on his late fa ther's dream of having a major learning center complex on the campus and addressed himself to the needs of science in an ever-changing world. , J ohn D. MacArthur, a native of this region, who has built one of the largest business empires in the nation and is reputed to be worth in excess of $900 million, was conferred with an honorary doctor of science degree during the ceremony. _R emarks were made by Congressman Daniel J. Flood, a long-time friend of the ~olle~e, who traced the development of the learning center and paid tribute to the late Dr. Farley, and Dr. Francis J . Michelini, second president of the college. The Honorable Max Rosenn, judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals and a member of the Wilkes Board of Trustees, paid tribute to the late W.B. Schaeffer and cited his interest in education. Acting President Robert S. Capin, who presided over the almost two-h?ur ceremony, closed the program by accepting the new learnmg complex as the chief executive officer of the college. �Page2 October 16, 1975 The Beacon Mice Problem Exterminated The reign of the mice in Star k Learning Center has come apparently to an end, according to building manager Frank SaHey and exterminator Joseph Mack. "Except for . a few isolated sightings which might occur, the problem is now over ," Salley said. Concurring in that assessment was Mack, the Plymouth exterminator who was called in to deal with the little rodents. " As far as I'm concerned, everything should be under control," Mack said. Mack said his firm inspected the learning center on three occasions in the past three weeks. Many dead mice were found, indicating that the poison is doing its job well. Mack also said that there would probably be no odors from the dead mice. " If you put the bait around the building properly, there should be no odor problem," he said, adding that the best way to place bait is in locations where the mice .will be coaxed out of their cubbyholes and into accessible areas where their bodies can be picked up. Salley also believes that there will be no odor problem. He said the type of bait used causes dehydration at a fast rate , so decomposition in the usual sense does not occur. "There should not be the stench associated with other dead animals," Salley said. Salley noted that maintenance workers have found some uneaten bait, which may mean that most mice are already dead. · As Dr . Lester Turoczi of the Biology Department observed, "The mice are no longer tap dancing. They've slowed down to a waltz and I hope to hear the funeral dirge soon."

'Three Men On a Horse' _R ides To Great Reviews UPS AND DOWNS-Ken Geary, misjudged ele-yator. ajunior, prepares to iake a ride in the · Elevator In Parri.sh Has Ups .And Downs By Joe Buckley Every elevator has its ups and downs and the one in Parrish Hall is no exception. Lately, it has been the subject of an unkind rumor. The rumor was that the elevator had not been inspected in the past five years but, in reality, it has been inspected several times every year . According to a state law it must be inspected only once a year. The Certifica tes of Operation have not been posted in the elevator because students had been destroying them with graffiti. Instead, a copy of the current certificate is put in the elevator and the original ·is kept in the Business Office, according to Alice Rader, administrative assistant to the Business Office. Mrs. Rader said, "Anybody can come in and look at the certificate, if they want to." In addition to the regular inspections, the elevator also receives a special weight test every five years. The eleva tor, a four passenger Otis, is the building's first and only one, according . to Mrs. Rader, although it was completely redone after the 1972 flood. Inspection of the elevator is the duty of the Pennsylvania Department of J .abor and Industry. Repairs are ham11ed by the Otis Elevator Company. /DC Action President Mike LoPresti announced that the I.D.C. Publications Committee has prepared the opinion survey for dormitory students and it should be distributed sometime next week. Hopefully, this will assist the I.D.C. in planning activities and trying to get dormitory conditions improved according to the students' wishes. In other actions, the I.D.C. voted to retain membership in the National Association of College and University Resident Halls and to send two delegates to their convention at West Chester. This will give I.D.C. the chance to find out what other colleges are doing to improve participation and conditions, and how to bring these changes about in an atmosphere comparable to that at Wilkes.

The play, written by John Cecil Holm and George Abbott, was performed as part of the many Homecoming activities. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and fine production which provided delightful entertainment. The many hours of hard work put into this play proved worthwhile. All aspects of the production, including the taped organ music, added atmosphere to the plot. Scenery and sets were excellently designed and constructed while the intricacy of them and the special effects provided realism. The costumes and hairdos gave the actors the ijppearance of stepping straight out of the 1930's. The actors were an interesting and exciting blend of newcomers and veterans alike. As proven in "Three Men on a Horse," this 'year's freshmen have plenty of theatrical talent. The two main female roles were successfully handled by Robin Oroian and Lynn Sare, both freshmen. Don Hallett and John Forte gave excellent performances in their first Wilkes production. The supporting roles played by newcomers were also well executed. The vetera1;s, Pat Wright, J eff Schlicher, Bruce Phair, Wayne Pannabecker, and Ned Coulter, showed, once again, their expertise on stage. They provided familiar faces from some of last year 's presentations including "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and " Canterbury Tales." Though all actors were fantastic, perhaps the best performances were given by Lynn Sare and Pat Wright. Lynn was marvelous as Mabel. She was very convincing and a pleasure to watch. Pat had one of the most difficult roles as the male lead. His expressions were indescribable, in particular his feigning hangover. Joseph Gavlick, as Charlie, was also very convincing. By far the best'part of the play was the fact that it was pure entertainment. There was no hidden idea or theme; it was simply meant -to be enjoyed. The behind-the-scene people deserve as much credit as the actors for a job well done.

The civil war to which I eluded has been in progress since the dawn of history and is mentioned, if mymemory fails me not, in the Gilgamesh Epic. At the present time in history the problems inherent in the war are exacerbated because of the overpopulation of Earth by the human species. My letter, rather than starting the war took advantage of an opening provided by Montague to call attention to the immediate battles of that war which are occurring on the campus of Wilkes College.

Howie Stark added, "SG has a special fund to fall back on which gives us about $4000 if we go into the hole." · Stark also said, "We didn't want to set a precedent by giving the Accounting Club money to go to a concert. Every club would be asking for money and 1 wouldn't blame them." �Page5 The Beacon October 16, 1975 Lo Presti Active Leader "Spare time? I don't even know what it is ... " declares Mike LoPresti, IDC chief for the 1975-,76 academic year. Besides attending classes and working in his 2nd floor office in Weckesser Hall everyday, LoPresti is required to go to at least 6 to 7 meetings per week. The committees of Inter-Dormitory Council, which is the primary link between the dorm students and the administration, are quite busy this year, according to LoPresti, a native of New. Jersey. A survey by the Publications Committee will be given to all dorm students. "The purpose of the survey is to receive dorm students' opinions on w_hat things they would like to see changed," stated the IDC president. AT WARP SPEED-Bad weather doesn't worry Dean Ralston when he's "Also, another committee is in the traveling by bike, but parking gates are another matter. Since he literally process of drafting a pamphlet, went througlt one a fe" weeks ago he's been watching out for them. "How to Survive in Wilkes-Barre." It will contain, for example, eating places, and other information which will benefit the dorm student." Ralston and Bike Go Except in Heavy Snow By Wilma Hurst " Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" keeps George Ralston, dean of Student Affairs, from biking to his office and home again ever.y day, every month of the year. On rainy days, he steers with one hand while the other holds ~n umbrella above his head, and is thwarted only by snow more than three mches deep. However, he doesn't resort·to a car even in this kind of weather. Then he makes the six-block journey on foot. Since Dean Ralston obeys all traffic rules and _signals, and is careful when riding in traffic, he has been almost accident-free. His only mishap was not with a car, but with one of Wilkes' infamous parking gates. He admitted somewhat sheepishly that he was responsible for the untimely end of the gate near the New Men's Dorm a few weeks ago. "I was so embarrassed," he recalled as he told the story. It seems that when a doctor called him and reported a student's car was blocking his driveway, and would be towed if it was not moved in 15 minutes Dean Ralston raced to the rescue. He saw the car and "tore into the parking lot. I was going pretty fast, when all of a sudden, there it was. I stopped, but not in time. The gate took all the punishment _as my shoulder hit it and snapped right off. It cost me $17. Despite his embarrassment he reported the incident ~nd learned ironically, the new gate had just been installed that mor!1in~. Fortunately his bike survived the accident as well as it did the flood of '72. It was a pr~sent to Dean Ralston from the students, given to him at the 1971 IDC Christmas party. It's a simple one-speed bike with no hand brakes, and it's all the Dean needs. A bike is his favorite form of transportation because it's fast, saves gas and eliminates parking problems. He wishes more people would use bicycles, and believes they could improve the parking situation at the college. He has used one to travel to Wilkes since 1957 and he pedals all over Wilkes-Barre as well. Besides being economical and convenient, a bike is clean,_ and Dean Ralston is very conscious about these facts. He has a one-family car and two sons of driving age. Nevertheless, he firmly says he doesn't want or need another car. He proves his point every day, with or without the weather's help. (') By Maria!ne Montague A Fairy T~le Once upon a time, not too long ago, ( then again it might have been very long ago - it depends on how _well you remember when "smoking pot" meant you burned your meat loaf) there were these two groups of people dormitory students and commuter students, or "Dormies" and "Hennas." They lived in a land called Wilkes College. These people were very different. Dormies liked to do their own laundry and eat the same things, while Hennas spent most of their time looking for parking spaces and listening to lectures from their parents. Dormies insisted that Hennas even spoke a different language; they ended every sentence with their name. "That was a rotten history test today, henna ?" and "Tuition is unreal, henna?" are just a few examples of the speech pattern. The strange part was that Hennas insisted they never said the word. It was a constant point of disagreement. So these people had very little in common and didn't really make such a great effort to get to know each other. The Dormies were led by Prince Al Foderaro. He made sure they were all happy, healthy and well-fed. The Dormie army was led by Sir Mike of Lo Presti and Sir Tom of Trost. They always tried to park their horses in Henna parking spaces and every time they did, the Henna army chief Lady Jackie of Pickering would try to have them arrested. This made· matters worse between Dormies and Hennas especially when the Hennas kept stepping in horse droppings on the way to get their cars. There seemed to be no hope for improving relations between these groups until one day a miracle happened. Prince Al Foderaro had an uncontrollable craving for a BLT on toast with a pickle and he knew the only place to get it was in the Commons, the eating spot of the Hennas. He walked in the Commons disguised as a Henna (heaven only knows how he did that - I guess he wore a parking sticker on his forehead ) ~nd ordered his sandwich from Princess Sophie, the Henna monarch. Tt,eir eyes met and he was captivated by the aroma of mayonnaise all around. Anyway, the prince knew he couldn't live without her so he proposed over the coconut cream pie. Princess Sophie accepted and wedding plans were set. The girl Dormies served as bridesmaids while the Knights of the Round Table (the guys who play cards on the second floor of the Commons) were the ushers. The two groups were finally united and that's how the Wilkes College family came to be. Now everyone is living happily ever after except Sir Mike and Sir Tom they have to keep their horses in their rooms because the parking stickers keep falling off their tails. The End. ( O.K. so I'm not Hans Christian Anderson or the Grimm Brothers all rolled into one - but you gotta give me credit for trying! ) Cooperation is Needed LoPresti, a junior, has also been working with Jackie Pickering, CC chief. The two leading campus organizations have jointly scheduled Halloween, Christmas, and St. Pat's parties. IDC has been busy finalizing the plans for Parent's Day, to be held on Saturday, November 1. In a recent Student Life Committee meeting the problem of faculty and student cooperation was discussed in relation to extra-curricular activities. The committee, which consists of faculty, administration and student representatives, discussed the problem in detail at the suggestion of Doris Saracino, director of Women's Athletics, in relation to the lack of cooperation found with faculty in the area of sports. Mrs. Saracino pointed out, "that the problem not only lies with participation in sports but with theater, as well as other activities." The committee suggested various solutions, such as, a reciprocal agreement between students and faculty concerning make-up work. It also was suggested that Mrs. Darte, chairman of the ·committee, to send a letter to all coaches .advising them of their obligation to inform the sb1dents of their school work resPonsib1lities. Other topics for discussion included the scheduling of classes from 5 to 6;30 p.m. Currently if dorm students don't dine at this time, they miss out · on the dinner meal. Al Foderaro, director of housing, brought up the point that they have paid for this service and are noi compensated for it if they don't attend the meal. The other topic was the upkeep of the school vans to insure the safety of those who use them, and to maintain a check to insure this objective.

The move was prompted by the recurring problem of dorm students and others without special stickers taking parking spaces that had been allocated for selected commuters. "The illegal parking situation in the lot is improving," Commuter Council Vice-President Ray Ostroski said at last Thursday's CC meeting. "At first there were about 20 cars parked there illegally, but now it's down to only eight or nine." Ostroski invited students "who won't take any guff from anyone" to apply for the parking lot attendant job. Five or six students will be hired on the work study program to work in shifts at the lot. CC Treasurer Len Shatkus reiterated previous CC requests for student cooperation on the parking problem. Shatkus warned that the lack of cooperation "could be bad for everyone" and might jeopardize any future CC efforts to secure parking space for commuters. -- Barbara Hall, social events committee chairman, announced that the CC film festival has been rescheduled for November 7. The distributors of the films, Swank, Inc., agreed to charge CC only for the cancelled September 27 film festival, Hall said. No charge will be made for the rescheduling, ·unless a more expensive film is substituted for one originally ordered. . Commuter Council also discussed a problem with commuters and dorm students crashing parties in the New Men's Dorm. CC President Jackie Pickering warned commuters to stay out of dorms unless invited. "After all, you wouldn't want people crashing parties in your home," she noted. Pickering also cautioned that more such violations might result in dorm party privileges being curtailed. Pickering reported on progress in the move to rename the Student Union Building in honor of former Student Government President Peter Jadelis. CC's recommendation for the name change passed the Dean's Council "with enthusiasm," Pickering said, and it's now up to the Board of Trustees to act on the '·°'fJ0'1!1 C.h lJttPr / mm p. 71 suggestion. annual NCAA Division III national tournament, and the Indians made it all the way to the finals, · while ·Schmidt and company s~ayed home and watched the championship on television.

No Wilkes College harrier in history has ever participated in the national event, but coach George Pawlush feels that Boris has enough talent to become the first. " Paul is improving with every race," Pawlush said, " and he is running more than a minute ahead of his times from last year. If he can continue doing that well, I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to travel to the nationals." AND IMPROVING HE is. Boris placed second in the Wyoming Valley Striders invitational meet here in early September, and followed that up with a third place finish in the Lebanon Valley Invitational, losing out to Bob Stackow of host Lebanon Valley by 20 seconds. Stackow was the state high school class B champion last year. Once the dual season got underway, Boris won his first three races with relative ease, and two weeks ago, was matched up once again with Stackow, when Lebanon Valley traveled to Wilkes-Barre. Sports By Paul Domowitch Chatter Determined to turn the tables, Boris dug in and took the lead from the start. Coming into the homestretch ori the Colonels 6.2 mile course, the Blue and Gold hero held off a late kick by his opponent, and outdistanced him by ten yards. It was then and there, that Pawlush decided Boris was national material. WHILE BORIS HAD a rough afternoon in the Colonel's homecoming tri-angular meet last Saturday, and could do no be_tter than eighth against the top-notch competition from Rider and Scranton, Pawlush doesn't expect too many repeats like that from him. "Paul has tremendous potential, and is a very smooth runner," he explained. It was just one of those bad days." So, the 5-10 sophomore is on his way to becoming the greatest runner in Wilkes history, if he already hasn't done that. But for someone of Boris' talent, that isn't enough. First, he would like to finish among the top 15 runners in the Middle Atlantic Conference cross-country championships early next month, and then, if he and his coach think he's ready, he'll be on the starting line in Boston a week later, for the biggest race of his life. - DOMOWITCH - {(::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Clash~ With Rains Tuesday ::::;::::::::?::::::::::::::\l PAUL BORIS SATURDAY'S PROBABLE STARTING LINE-UP OFFENSE SE-Larry Tarutis LT-Bob Para LG-Len Dalmas C-Ken Sickler RG-Frank Wengen RT-Bill Metzger or Joe Dettmore TE-Paul Wengen QB-Chuck Suppon or Greg Snyder FL-John Matusek FB-Freci Lohman HB-Rodney Smith DEFENSE LE-Lou Maczuga LT-Bob Gratton RT-Chuck Crawford or Jim Costanzo RE-Don Kullick WLB-Don McDermott or Kurt Franke LILB-Steve Leskiw RILB-Tony Couto ROLB-Phil Besler LCB-Fred Marianacci S-Dave Trethaway RCB-Ton Schwab ~i i Wheelers Capture Total Offense Lead t 1\11 1111 BY DAVE ORISCHAK There were only three games played in intramural competition last week. The big story of the week resulted when Fritz Wheelers took over the league lead in total offense. The Wheelers defeated Slocum 36--0 to give themselves 52 total offensive points. High scorer for the Wheelers was Tom MacIntyre with 12 points. MacIntyre now leads the -league in individual scoring with 24 points. ALSO SCORING FOR the Wheelers were Dennis Thompson and Billy Winter. Thompson looked confident in the quarterback slot and should prove to be a big asset for the Wheelers as the season moves onward. After playing two games the Wheelers are leading the league in offensive, however, both Dennison and the Rams have yet to play their · second games of the season. These two teams were leading in offense after the first game. In other games around the league last week, the Spoilers dropped a tough game to Dirksen 7-43. The losers scored first on a pass from Edmunds to Toey. However, they failed to convert ·the point after touchdown. Dirksen scored on a pass from Dan Danielson to Brian Blessing and managed to convert the point _a fter touchdown to squeak out a win. Butler shutout the Diaz Destroyers 7-0 on a pass from Andy Kresky to Bill Poloha. The Butler squad is showing definite signs of improvement. TODAY'S GAME WILL feature Slocum against the Vet's Club. It's hard to pick a favorite in this game since neither team has scored thus far in the season. On Monday, Diaz will meet the Wild Bunch. Diaz has shown very little offensive strength so far, therefore the Wild Bunch will be favored. On Wednesday, Dirksen will face a powerful New Riders team. The Riders have a new star on the offensive unit in Charlie HE MADE THEM BELIEVERS When the Colonels travel to South Hill Field in upstate New York to take on powerful Ithaca College Saturday, they will be a decided underdog. There was a time more than a decade ago, when the Wilkes College football team was a door mat for every team they played to wipe their feet on. They lost in regular fashion, and went into ahnost every game labeled the underdog. BUT IN 1962, Rollie Schmidt stepped into the position of head grid coach at the institution, and hoped to put an end to the loser's role that Blue and Gold teams felt obliged to act out week after .week. It was no easy task. In his first three years at the hehn, his squads losf more than one-third of their games, climaxing that misfortune with a 1-6 record in 1964. In 1965, however, the Colonels rolled to their finest season since the days of George Ralston, winning seven of eight, and capturing their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in the process. That was the beginning, and before the dust would clear four years later, Wilkes College football teams would win 32 straight games, capture two Lambert Bowl trophies, and reign as MAC "Northern Division" titlists five straight years. The days of being a doormat had ended, and the role of underdog was now being assumed by Wilkes opponents instead of by the Colonels themselves. · BUT WITH THE rise to national prominence under Schmidt, Wilkes upgraded its schedule, and there were times, even during that "Golden Era" when the Colonels found themselves back in that same underdog position. The first instance that comes to mind was the Colonels first clash with Vermont University back in 1968. It was the season opener that year for the Blue and Gold, and experts were anticipating the famous Blue and Gold win streak to buckle at 19. Vermont sportswriters weren't taking Wilkes very seriously, and found themselves writing: "who the hell is Wilkes? " It didn't take them long to find out that autumn Saturday afternoon in New England, as Wilkes obliterated the Catamounts 31-9. A year later, Vermont had a veteran club returning, and came to Ralston Field looking for a portion of revenge, and once again occupied the favorites role. What they got was a 1.7-7 loss, and an answer to the question of "who the hell is Wilkes" for the second year in a row. IT DIDN'T STOP there however. In 1970, Schmidt found his squad stripped bare by graduation, and lost his first three games that year to teams like Lycoming, Moravian, and Susquehanna. On top of that, Alfred University was coming to town that next week, and they were unbeaten on the campaign, and ranked first in the Lambert Bowl poll. Sure enough, the Colonels - underdog role and all, upset Alfred 16-14, and cost them the Lambei:t. Finally, two years ago, Wilkes took a sophomore-studded team to Central Pennsylvania to take on favored Juniata College in a big Middle Atlantic Conference battle. The Indians were unbeaten until · then, and had high hopes of going through the entire campzjgn in that same fashion. Three hours after the opel)ing kickoff, Juniata looked up at the scoreboard to find that they had indeed just been beaten by the Colonels, whose soph squad included such names as Leskiw, Lohman, Snyder, Suppon, Kullick, Marianacci, Para, and many more. Despite the victory, it was Juniata that was selected to play in the first NO-FAULT JEANS 1(.'111itin11rtl on p.

"The Charge of the Light Brigade" By Allred, Loi;d Tennyson South Hill Field will be battlefield. The powerful battle-tested troops of Ithaca, with their mammouth barrage of artillery lay in wait as a proud, but underdog band of Colonels prepare to hurl themselves into the mouth of the mighty Blue Bomber cannons. In reality, Ithaca does not possess the cannons and artillery that Tennyson speaks of; or do they? They have absconded with foes this season in such a manner, that more than one team has been left shell-shocked and destroyed. [,.AST WEEK, IT was Springfield who found itself being ripped apart by the Blue Bombers powerful guns, to the tune of 61-0. The week prior it was Alfred , and the week before that Cortland State. The Ithaca army gives its canno.ns peculiar names such as Bill Bryant, Jerry Boyes, and Larry Czarnecki. Then, the armies experienced coaching generals line the cannons up in very stategic locations, where they can do the most harm to the unwary enemy, such as split end, quarterback and defensive tackle. Thus far, every opponent has ridden "into the mouth of Death, into the mouth of hell," and has not returned. They had gone · in with high hopes that they could tackle the Ithaca giant, but when the shooting was over, and the cold breeze surfacing from the waters of nearJ>¥ Cayuga Lake had administered a layer of frost onto the chopped-up sod of the South Hill Field battleground, there was not a survivor left. :Saturday, the underdog Colonels make their final charge against the juggernaut Ithacans.

The Royals bombarded our heroes with seven goals while Samson Adagu managed the only Colonel score. Scranton has one of the better smallcollege teams in the East and the victory advanced their record to 7-1, while Wilkes fell to 0-4. Not too many sports fans are familiar with the intricacies of soccer, but Coach Chip Eaton has an exciting club and the action is always fast and furious. The Colonels are entertaining Elizabethtown this afternoon and will host Wagner College at Ralston Field on Saturday afternoon. The hooters are currently in the midst of a five game homestand, which will conclude on Oct. 28, when Moravian comes to town. brave and proud Wilkes militiamen as captains Steve Leskiw and Fred Lohman will face the Blue Bombers, and they will lead the attack that hopes to enter into the mouth of hell, pillage it, and return in a · burst of glory and victory. IT CAN BE done, believe me it can be done. And no one knows that better than the Blue and Gold field commander Rollie Schmidt. His forces don't have the devastating manpower and brute force of Ithaca, but they have something else: pride, and a great deal of confidence in themselves. Leading the way for captain Lohman will be the biggest front line the Colonel army has ever had, and if that should somehow not suffice, Schmidt has devious infiltrators like Paul Wengen, Larry Tarutis and John Matusek, who make their living by slipping through enemy lines, and planting bombs among the defensive secondary. · But Tarutis, a talented second year man, may not be doing any infiltrating Saturday. He reinjured his knee in the Upsala battle last week, and his status right now is questionable. Once the Colonels penatrate the opposition, it will be up to captain Leskiw · and his defensive crew to hold their ground, when the Blue Bomber shelling . begins. Their front line has also been saddled with injury, but it wasn't the enemy that incurred the wrath of God. Defensive SUPPON ON THE RUN-Colonel quarterback Chuck Suppon is shown scrambling for vital yardage in his team's 27-8 win over Upsala last week. Chuck has gotten off to a tFei_nendous start tbi~ campaign an~ will probably get the starting nod Saturday in the all-1mportant clash with Ithaca. A Wilkes victory could guarantee them a shot at an NCAA post-season tournament invitation. tackle Tom Bradshaw fractured his arm in practice drills last Wednesday, and appears out for the remainder of the season. But Schmidt still has the likes of Lou Maczuga and Don Kulick to slow up the Ithaca first charge. Behind them, lies the real secret to stopping Ithaca's attack, whether it be by land or by air. Leskiw, and Tony Couto are two of the top linebackers in the state-bar none, and coupled with the efforts ofDon McDermott, Kurt Franke and Phile Besler, who will alternate on the second line of defense with them, Wilkes is steady. Ithaca is an intelligent warring machine however, and they do not put all of their marbles into one pile. While known for their awesome ground attack, it is their air efficiency that wins the big battles for them. And no one knows that better than the three Colonels· who will be trying to stop that specific strategy ploy ; Fred Marianacci, Tony Schwab, and Dave Trethaway. LAST YEAR, ON home ground, the Colonels had Ithaca dead to right, oefore quarterback Boyes started ripping them apart with crucial aerial artillery. But the Blue and Gold lrio are determined that won't happen this campaign, and will be keying their attention on Ithaca's favorite infiltrator, split end Bryant: a slippery, snakelike human being, who can turn the thrill of victory into the agony of defeat, faster than you can say Jim ·McKay. - The Colonels have been working hard all week, making final adjustments in their fighting machine. But all the adjustments in the world aren't going to make any difference Saturd&y. It will be Wilkes vs Ithaca; the underdog against the favorite ; a David against a Goliath. The task fs not an easy one, but neither was it for the light brigade. They charged into the jaws of Death, with all the odds against them. But somehow, someway, they emerged victorious, ruid the myth of the unbeatable juggerna:.it had been destroyed. Kidney Attack Sidelines Her Gay Meyers: She Never Quits BY DOTTY MARTIN It's not easy to teach swimming and ~~ce classes while carrying a baby; nor 1s 1t easy to coach hockey from a hospital bed - but Coach Gay Meyers has somehow managed to do both. Lee Carol Meyers was born on May 11 only two days after classes had ended fo; the 1975 spring semester. But "Mom" was at school every day, right to the very end. JUST LAST WEEK, Mrs. Meyers found herself ~gain in a hospital - the second • time in five months. The Colonelette coach suffered a kidney attack on the way home from a game at Delaware Valley, and with Penny Bianconi serving as ambulance attendant and Nancy Roberts acting as nurse, the Blue and Gold team had their number one coach safely back in , Wilkes-Barre and into General Hospital in no time. But, Mrs. Meyers wouldn't stop there. S~e was admitted to the hospital Tuesday mght and the homecoming game with Bloomsburg was set for Thursday. Coach Meyers .was in constant con18ft with co-captam Nancy Roberts and sen·1qr Barb ng while "hockey talk" flowed in and ut of the hospital all day Thursday. With elp from Mrs. Doris Saracino, women's thletic director, the Colonelettes were on e field and ready to play Thursday. Spirits were dampened - not only from • GAY MEYERS the rain, but because each Wilkes player found it difficult to perform without the coach who had taught her so much. However, the Colonelettes weren't about to give up. THEY BATTLED THE Bloomsburg team right down to the wire, only to lose, 2-1. Bloomsburg scored twice in the first five minutes of the game, but the Blue and Gold dominated the rest of-the contest. The Delaware Valley game finished in a 0-0 tie with the Colonelettes taking 29 shots at goal, but not being able to score. Lu Ann Neely, Sue Ann Knight, Barb Gorgas, and Jean Johnson exhibited fine defensive play. . The Wilkes girls had three tough games scheduled this week with Lycoming, Tuesday ; Mansfield, this afternoon; and Misericordia on Saturday; but Coach Meyers will be back in action - and that should make all the difference. When not on the hockey field, Mrs. Meyers can be found working on various Letterwomen projects, taking time to talk "frankly " with Wilkes students, and just being a mother. Never let it be said that . anything stands in the way of Gay Meyers. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Convocation Hosts 2 Men Farley to Arrive Homecoming Weekend at Wilkes College will have a special meaning for at least one individual - Dr. Eugene S. Farley, son of the first president of Wilkes College - who will be playing a major role in the Convocation and Dedication of the Stark Learning Center on Saturqay morning, October 11, in the courtyard of the new facility. Dr. Farley Jr. grew up on the Wilkes College campus and was a close friend and · acquaintance of almost all of the students who attended the institution during its early days as Bucknell Junior College. Living on the campus, the young Gene Farley had a first-hand account through his father of the problems that were involved in the building of the two-year institution into a four-year liberal arts college. He watched with pride, as did the other members of the Farley family, as the institution received its charter in 1947 as an independent college. A graduate of Swarthmore College, Dr. Farley went on to medical school and became interested in the practice of "family medicine." This interest developed and he became totally involved in the family medicine concept. He is currently holding the key position of t,·1111li1111nl otl p../) MacArthur Tribute A native of this region who is credited with being one of the wealthiest men in America will play a major role in the Convocation and Dedication of the $7-million Stark Learning Center and William B. Schaeffer Lecture Hall on Saturday, October 11, at 10 a.m. on the Wilkes College campus. John D. MacArthur, who at one time lived · with his family in Dunmore and West Pittston, has been recognized nationally as one of the richest individuals by virtue of wealth accumulated over decades, with some claiming his assets in excess of $900-million. MacArthur, who now resides in Lake Park, Fla., where he conducts many of the businesses included in his vast financial empire, will be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree by Wilkes College as part of the ceremony next Saturday. The former resident, who parlayed a $1,500 loan to become the sole owner and stockholder of Bankers Life and Casualty Co., Chicago, is being recognized and honored by Wilkes College for .his accomplishments in the world of business and finance.

Popularity of Physics Rising in Learning Center By Dotty Martin The Physics Department, located on the first floor of the new Stark ~arning Center, is another department which has benefited with the construction of the building. Courses have been revised and new equipment has been added. The electronics course, a very popular course among students, has been revised and is now oriented toward application and measurement. The course used to be a one semester course intended for · physics and chemistry majors only, but now extends over two semesters with one of them oriented toward biology, life science, and behavioral science. Dr. Francis Donahoe, chairman of the Physics Department, says the electronics course "may become too popular." The course is designed to teach how to build certain things by actually doing it, but if it does become too po ular. the course ~ ' I . won't be able to be carried out properly. The electronics program is offered in the fall for physics majors and again in the spring for med-tech majors, but is also elected by various science majors. Equipment such as timing devices, counting devices, and signal generating devices has been purchased for measuring purposes. Dr. Donahoe says that the reason fo~ new and bette~ equipment is that thmgs are gettmg cheaper. He explained, "When ball point pens first cam~ out, -t?ey sold for about $20. But it wasn t long after that, they were only_ $.40. When calculators were first put on the market they sold for several hundred dollars and now you can buy a fairly good one for under $10." The new equipment allows ekpe~iments in ·the physics department to be done in a more sophisticated and more accurate "In the building of a complex such as this we have to look into the future, maybe thirty years into the future," commented Dr. Robert Riley, chairman of the department.

Nejib, professor of engineering. He said there was "no question" that the engineering field was helped by the construction of the SLC. When Dr. Nejib came to Wilkes in 1966, there was no engineering department and no engineering degrees were offered. Instead, thete was only ~ two year engineering program within the physics department. Dr. Nejib said he returned to Wilkes after a two year leave of absence because he was informed by Dr. Michelini that there would be an engineering department when the learning center was built. Quality education was another reason for the creation of the SLC. Quality education, especially in engineering, "lies on three pres mises," according to Dr. Ne jib. They are : "a.competent faculty, the right curriculum and the right facilities. H you are weak in any one of these premises," he said, " you will not be graduating any real CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LAB-The lab shown is one of several facilities in the chemistry department used engineers." for research purposes.

The Chemistry Department at the college also offers a graduate program, with an emphasis on research, which leads to an M.S. Degree. Attesting to the fine reputation of the department is the fact that it is approved by the American Chemical ~~~!~~~~he professional training going for them. " First, he said, it is dynamic and, therefore, it will be good for the late 1970's and the 1980's. Second, since engineering graduates of Wilkes will be judged on what,they gain, they have some of Dr. Umid R. Nejib the best equipment available to help them. According to Dr. Nejib, "Much of . our equipment is custom built. Some _large schools don't have what we • have in undergraduate engineering facilities." By-WflmaHurst Science does much to increase mans' understanding of the world around him, and chemistry makes some great contributions to that understanding. It can explain the theory behind many laws of nature, and can find ways to put this knowledge to practical use. . A foundation in chemistry is essential for further study of the sdbject and other sciences also benefit from a good chemistry background. The Chemistry Department at Wilkes is able to me~t both of these needs. The department is chaired by Dr. James Bohning and has seven full-time faculty members. A number of undergraduate students · are ~lso employed as lab assistants. .

Schaeffer Hall Fits Educational Idea The new W.B. Schaeffer Hall, a multi-equipped and conceptually planned lecture hall, will be dedicated Saturday, October 11, in conjunction with the dedication of the Stark Learning Center. Shown above is the exterior of the facility facing South River Street. The lecture hall "fits an· educational concept," according to francis Salley, faculty co-ordinator for the SLC. He said the concept is to hold a large lecture in the hall where adequate seating and audio-visual equipment will be available. The large group would then be divided into small sections which would go to the seminar rooms in the northwest corner of the second and third floors of the SLC. Salley said the facility "will havP. all appropriate audio-visual aids-" Included will be additional blackboards; a front surface, electrically operated screen ; three rear surface screens which will have the capability of using a rear surface projector ; and slide projectors. After being set up, all audio-visual equipment can be completely operated from the lectern. The idea for the new hall began "quite a length of time ago" said Salley. He . said Dr. Eugene S. · Farley, Dr. Francis J . Michelini and Dr. Ralph Rozelle were "prime .niov.ers" in the formation of the new lecture hall. Construction of Schaeffer Hall, which can seat 355, was a part of Phase II of the SLC building program. It was begun early in 1974 and, according to Salley, it is now 99 percent finished. It was designed by the architectural firm of Lacy, Atherton and Davis and was constructed by the Heddon Construction Company. Salley estimated the cost at "something less than one million dollars." "'Ibis facility has tremendous academic value to Wilkes College," said Salley. Also, he said Schaeffe::Hall can be used for various community meetings as a part of the continuing "interrelationship and mutual suppott of college and community." �October 9, 1975 Pages The Beacon Biology Suite Largest in SLC By Janine Pokrinchak "I think the Biology Department was one of the first ones started," commented Dr. Charles Reif, chairman of the Biology Department of Wilkes College. The department, located in Stark Learning Center, occupies one half of the area of third floor and has approximately 400 students majoring in biology and related fields. Since the completion of the Stark Learning Center, the Biology Department has acquired new laboratory rooms, a microbiology suite and a faculty office. In addition to the new facilities, there are various laboratories, offices, storage areas, preparation rooms, and a greenhouse located on the roof, which allow for coqpucting laboratory sessions, research and other special projects. · Students, as well as faculty, participate in research projects. Faculty members, besides their teaching duties, conduct their own research. Each year, the department tries to have students present their papers at the Eastern Colleges Science Conference. Nancy Rodda, a 1975 Wilkes graduate, had the opportunity to present her paper to the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Recently, Dr. Robert Doty, who specializes in microbiology, joined the professional staff of the biology department. Other members of the facultr are: Dr. John Ericson, endocrinology; Dr. Wilbur Hayes, physiology; Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, . ecology; Dr. Robert Ogren, botany and parasitology; Dr. Charles Reif, naturalist; Dr. Louis Rigley, animal behavior; Mr. Henry Steuben, preparatory supervision; and Dr. Lester Turoczi, genetics. Wilkes offers a variety of courses and programs from non-major to graduate levels. Upo1_1 completing four years of study, . students graduate with a degree in Biology or Medical Technology. A six year Bachelor and Master of Science degrees and the Wilkes-Hahnemann Cooperative Medical Education Program in Family Medicine provide special opportunities for ·students to obtain post-graduate degrees. According to Dr. Reif, a large percentage of biology majors continue with post-graduate education. Wilkes is also · affiliated with hospitals in Pennsylvania and New Jersey where medical technology majors spend their clinical year. · The hospitals include Robert Packer · Hospital, Sayre; Allentown General, Allentown; Wilkes-Barre General, Wilkes-Barre; Williamsport Hospital, Williamsport; Hahnemann, Philadelphia; Somerset, Somerville, N.J.; and Hackensack Hospital, Hackensack, N.J.

This, however, is just the beginning of the pleasant happenings at 170 South Franklin Street as Arthur J. Hoover, transforms a beautiful morning into a fruitful day with 21 years of experience at Wilkes. Arthur J. Hoover, a man of many faces, is kept constantly on the go as he fulfills the duties of director of Alumni Relations, Community Affairs and Student Activities. In addition to his official title, Hoover also involves himself with . Commuter Council, Lettermen's Club, Student Union Board, advisor to the class of '78, President's council, Dean's councn, assistant secretary to the Board of Trustees, Who's Who, Parents' day, Football Parent's Club Appreciation Night, as well as chartering buses to sport activities. Hoover also is involved with the Annual Alumni Campaign and part of the Development Campaign. In spite of all this, Hoover's door is always open to anyone and everyone for whatever reason and he is Evelyn Robinson, assistant to easy to know because he possesses a always willing to help whenever he Hoover in the development drive, radiating warmth in his personality can. spoke about her close working that makes conditions pleasant to Lynn Jacobs, Hoover's secretary relationship she had this past year 'work under. for five years, mentioned that " he is with him and said that one of the The tale does not end here, but so busy I have to make an greatest assets is the ability he has continues and spreads through the appointment to see him.

In addition, he helped me to decide to apply for an RA position, which I have held for two years." M,archant also said, "it's nice to know when_ you leave Wilkes that you'r~ kept in ~lose ~rso~,al contact -he is a genwne friend. At the end of his interview Marchant said "I'm glad I could do something for him for a change." Al~us Carol Dr~us _sai~ that she thinks the Alumm Office is run well and Hoover puts out more than anyone can imagine. " He is willing to help regardless if you're a student or an alumnus." Another alumnus, Carol Zambetti, feels that Hoover is valuable in his jo~ beca~e he develops relationships with the undergraduate students and it lasts forever." A fellow c~assmate of Hoover's, Howar? Enms '55,_ wrote that he couldn t add anything but that he was a great guy and a great asset to Wilkes." Acting President Robert S. Capin has known Hoover since 1955 when 1 he began teaching for Wilkes upon his graduation from here.• Capin said that "his most valuable asset in his job is to maintain liason with alumni. More importantly, in Capin's viewpoint is that "Hoover represents the kind of product that Wilkes has produced through the years and that his interests for Wilkes extends into the future because he too is an alumnus. Capin reflected that, "you can't appreciate something unless you've experienced it and that it is difficult to explain to someone who doesn't know Wilkes College what it is like. Art represents the dynamic view of what this school is and should be." Hoover has touched the lives of many on this campus and like Capin George Pawlush, Sports Information Director, said that "Art typifies Wilkes he is sincere and sensitive and it ;as he that has probably been the biggest influence in my life." Pawlush views Hoover as a family-oriented, social person and that Wilkes College is a family type place. "This is the type of environment that Hoover thrives in because he is Mr. Wilkes College a gentle man, an educated man." ' Dean George Ralston knew Hoover as a high school boy in Glen Lyon when Mr. Jacobs called to reco~end Hoover for a scholarship to Wilkes. ''He has been with us ever since and I might add that he is a person who does more for others than others do for him." The saga of Arthur Hoover could not be justified in one article but one thing is for certain, because of his optimism and congenial nature and his genuineness, 'Uncle Art' has helped to make Wilkes one happier family.

But earlier this year, she ran against 16 girls at the Lebanon Valley Invitational in Annville and finished fourth. " I could have ran better," she says modestly. "I really don't have 'any strategy, and I have trouble pacing myself." Mary Kay says her teammates are always at the finish line cheering her on and she does the same for them. "Running takes a lot of my time and sometimes when I have late nursing classes, I don't get out until after five, so sometimes a few of the Hahnamann majors and me run at night." The only problem the junior Nursing major seems to have encountered thus far is where to find a place to dress. For home meets, she dresses with the women's field hockey team and when the team travels, she suits up before the team leaves. SHE CLAIMS THERE is a lot of new talent on the team this year.

"She unites the team. We all get out and cheer for her," he notes. But Steve says with a grin: "Mary Kay's presence keeps it clean on the bus." Perhaps her biggest fan - her coach - says, "I respect people who try and work hard at it."

Little Mary Kay ls A Girl 'On -The Run' For Colonels Mary Kay Malloy is serious about running and very much concerned about the achievements of her teammates on this year's cross-country team. "This year's team is much closer and everyone helps each other out," says Mary Kay as she begins her second year, running on the all-male Colonel squad and incidentally is the first female to participate in the Middle Atlantic Conference after joining coach George Pawlush's team last year. It all started when captain Mark Zavoy convinced her to come out for the team, she says, and when she went to talk to Pawlush about it "he thought I was looking for a calendar." "I WAS APPREHENSIVE at first. I didn't know if she really meant to run or if it was some women's lib thing, but she has been a very dedicated and hard working girl," said Pawlush as he was trying to assemble his team for a photograph last week behind Weckesser Hall. Both Mary Kay and her coach agree that there is plenty of untapped talent on campus, both male and female. Pawlush was so intent on increasing the number of members that" he was thinking of putting a want ad il' the local paper. "I ran a program this summer, and my best prospects were two 13 year old girls," says Pawlush. "When , in five years, you only have seven wins, you have to be in it for something besides winning." Every day this summer, M_ary Kay set aside about an hour a day and ran. "I worked at night, so I had to run during the day when it was hot, and one time I got lost and ended up on Interstate 80," she said with a smile. · coaches and athletic around the country are: WILKES & UPSALA (From P. 12; Going into last Saturday's tilt with Wagner, Upsala was still considered a fly-by-night team. The experts had Wagner a 27-point favorite over the · Vikings, but how wrong they were. Upsala jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but had that advantage cut to three just before halftime, when a Wagner defender busted in to block a punt, and · • rambled untouched into the endzone. · DOWN 15-10 WITH two minutes left in the game, the Upsala offense .... penetrated to the one-foot line, before being stopped. Wagner then took a safety, and won the game 15-12. Last week's performance proved one of two things. They are either a good team, or Wagner is ayery bad-team. But experts don't make a team 27-point favorites without reason, and the reason was that Wagner gave • powerful C.W. Post quite a battle a week earlier. Colonel mentor Rollie Schmidt would be inclined to believe the former theory-Upsala is a good football team, and perhaps, his troops will get the opportunity to put out against a good football team. Only time will tell. Upsala operates out of the Delaware Wing-T, which is the identical offense used by.Clarion State, when they beat Wilkes 17-7 three weeks ago. But l,llllike Clarion, they do not utilize all of that misdirection that had the Blue and Gold defense going daffy, and pass quite a bit from the formation . Key to the Vikings attack is fullback Ron Forino, a 6-0, 200 pound junior who is averaging four yards a carry in his team's first three games, and has caught nine passes for more than 130 yards. Upsala likes to throw quite a bit to their backs, and that is where the Wilkes linebacking corps will have to stop them. �1 October 9, 1975 Page 11 The Beacon ·Dynamo Dennison Wins Big Rams Feast On Vet's Club BY DAVE ORISCHAK Two powerhouse teams showed their strength iast week when Dennison and the Rams unleashed their offenses for a total of 71 points.

While it never actually came close to being a reality, last year's Division II national runnerups did look into the possibility of opening this campaign with the Colonels. Naturally, it would have only been a one year contract between the two schools, and the game would have been p~ayed on the Delaware campus, but Wilkes officials never seriously considered the fe~ler from the bigger school. Delaware then ru:opped the offer on Wittenberg , College's doorstep, who not only accept it, but beat the Blue Hens 9-a, and are now ranked number one in the NCAA Division III poll. WILKES WILL HAVE its name mentioned with the "bigs" next weekend, when they take on Ithaca College up in New York state. All Ithaca game results are reported on the Prudential college scoreboard immediately following ABC's coverage of college football on Saturday afternoons. The last time this happened was back in 1969, when the Colonels whipped the University of Vermont 31-9 and received national mention. BLOOMSBURG WOULD MAKE a great whipping boy for future Wilkes homecoming games. Not taking anything away from Rollie Schmidt's team, but the calibre of opposition they went up against last Saturday leaves something to be desired. Wilkes came out with a convincing 41-19 victory, but Schmidt still has important questions that were left unanswered. While playing a team like Bloom may put a notch in the win column, it sure as hell doesn't get you ready for teams like Ithaca and Albright. As a matter of fact, the only thing they got from running around the field Saturday were a number of fluke injuries, and some false assurance of their talent. IF THE WOMEN'S field hockey team somehow manages to get through their 1975 season, and then lives to tell about it, they will have earned our respect for an eternity. Including this afternoon's game with Bloomsburg, coach Gay Meyers' club must play 12 games in the next 22 days. On several occasions, they will play back to back contests, and this heavy load of competition does not include the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs, which begin during the early part of November. It's a tough enough calendar for a team with some substantial depth, but for the Colonelettes, who have very little in the way of depth, it's a battle against heavy odds. WORDS FROM an anonymous.top s1p.all-college lacrosse coach: ''Wilkes will never be considered in the national lacrosse rankings, and will most certainly never be considered for a berth in the NCAA tournament until they play a better calibre of teams. The MAC is not very highly regarded in national lacrosse circles, and until they start playing teams from down in the Maryland area, or up on the island ( Long Island), they're going to be left out in the cold." He hit it right on the nose. WHILE WE MAY be straying away just a bit from the su!>ject of sports, we would like to extend our .warmest congratulations to the 1975 Wilkes homecoming queen, Karen Considine, and her court of princesses Fran Polakowski, and Marianne Montague. Three more deserving girls could not have been chosen. WE'RE GOING TO go out on a limb for the remainder of the 1975 Wilkes football season, and give our . forecast of the Saturday afternoon encounters. This week: Wilkes 31, Upsala 6. Conjessions Of A Cub Sports Scribe BY JEFF ACORNLEY It all started when I was three years old. From the time I started writing on the walls with my crayons until the times I received A's on my "What I Did on My Summer Vacation" papers, I was destined to be a writer. I was written off as an eccentric writer at the tender age of six when I "wowed" my peers with my "See Johnny Run" stories. Unfortunately, I reached my peak too early and it's been all downhill ever since. Now I am faced with my first assignment for the " Gazette" as a rookie sports reporter. MY DUTY IS to compose an absolutely sparkling expose' on star college athlete Harvey Picklemeyer. My hero. (Sigh!) I;ve always dreamed of being a star athlete. Being a mere pittance over· five feet tall has limited my stardom to the inside of my head. I COULD POSSIBLY be the very-shortstop on the baseball team, but I am definitely too short for handball because I have to play against the curb. Being the rational person that I am I decided to scrap the sports car~er and become the next Gene Shallitt. I now have serious doubts about that career as a result of my distressingly inept interview with Harvey Baby! Y.T. stands for yours truly and H B stands for Harvey Baby. ·y :T.: (extremely intimidated) So, how are ya' Harv ole' boy? H.B.: Duh, whadda ya' mean? Y.T.: Well you know. Que pasa and all that stuff. H.B. : Are you trying to get personal? (his seemingly eight foot bulk rising to the occ~sion) You better watch it buddy or I'll pluck every hair from your moustache one by one. Y.T.: (Undaunted, I pressed ever onward!) Look, Mr. Picklemeyer, let's get down to the meat and potatoes of the interview. Your public is waiting in breathless anticipation for the answer to this question. Is it true that you wear furlined athletic socks? H.B.: ( shocked at such a swipe at his fair name) Look, buddy, I've got a reputation to uphold. I'm going to crush that cute little hat you have with the "press" I.D. button on it if you don't stop prying. (Continued on Page 10) �The Beacon Page 12 •• EACON ' ISUPSA STEVE LESKIW "I Could've Played Again" . October 9, 1975 SPORTS FORR BYPAUL.DOMOWI'OCH As_Colonel linebacker_S~eve Leskiw walked through the gates of Redman Stadium back to the v1s1tor'.s locker room last Saturday afternoon he remarked, "I think I could play another game right now." And he's r1ght. He probably could have. The entire Wilkes football team barely worked up a sweat in their 41-19 bomba~ding of a totally inept Bloomsburg State College unit, and with the except10n of a handful of minor injuries, there was no physical evidence of fatigue or exhaustion. ROLLIE SCHMIDT WAS short on words after the game because there was very little you could say about what went on that afternoon. Bloomsburg, as big as they were, showed very little aggressiveness and coughed up the ball every time the " opportunity" arose. ' "It was a strange kind of game," Schmidt commented. "While we certainly did win, it was impossible to see just what kind of a team we actually had.'-' What he meant was that he still doesn't know if his offense can sustain the type of steady drive it will need to score on a team like Ithaca and Albright, and his defense really wasn't tested what with the Huskies handing them the ball time and time again. ' ~o, the Colonels he~d into Saturday's homecoming clash with Upsala, still unproven; and still looking for that real test of strength. . Th~t test of strength just might come Saturday. Known more for their mep!1tude the past th_ree s~asons (they had lost 19 straight contests before beatmg Swarthmore m their 1975 season opener), the Vikings of coilch John ~ooper have at le~st earned a minute parcel of credibility in '75, and will mvade Ralston Field Saturday, with a 2-1 record. THEY OPENED UP with that win over Swarthmore which was really no true accomplishment, since Swarthmore last won a f~otball game in the days of Roosevelt and the Fair Deal. But t~e follow4lg week, Upsala utilized an outstanding defensive effort to upset highly-touted Susquehanna University, 7-3. While Susquehanna may not be the best team around, they were expected to battle Wilkes for MAC honors this year. . (Continued on Page 10) L? ., TONY SCHWAB "Getting a Rinse" Colonelettes Entertain. Bloom This Afternoon Eaton Experimenting With Youth Movement Rebuilding has never been an easy assignment for a coach, and no one knows that better than Blue and Gold soccer mentor Chip Eaton. Having lost their first three o~tings thus far, the Colonels will travel up the highway tomorrow afternoon to oppose highly touted Scranton University, and the outlook appears very bleak. ONCE NOTHING MORE than a fair team Scranton has built their soccer program up from the ground floor, and appears ready to take on bigger challenges. For Eaton, this is bad news, and he is hoping that his young team can just hold their own tomorrow. The outlook for the future of soccer at Wilkes has never looked better than it does now under the direction of Eaton and assistant coach Jim Ferris. But building a solid future means taking your lumps now and that is what Blue and Gold soccer fans ar~ beginning to accept. Eaton has gone with mostly freshman, sophomores and juniors thus far, and will continue to do so the remainder of the season. He is counting on a few seniors like co-captain Tom Trost to hold the '75 edition together, but basically, he is giving his promising young players a chance to develop and gain some valuable experience. BEFORE THIS SEASON is over, Eaton will have a good idea of what the future looks like, and with a few breaks, they may even make this campaign one to be proud of as well, after a horrendous start. The late September rains of two weeks ago caused quite a few cancellations on the soccer team's schedule and it has been revamped quite a bit. The Wilkes-Baptist Bible tilt, which was set for Sept. 24, has · been rescheduled for Oct. 23, at home, and the rained out ~pt. 27 match with Bloomsburg has been reset for Nov: 5. The Colonels season-ending encounter with Elizabethtown College on Nov. 8, has been moved up to next Thursday, which means the booters will close out their 1975 campaign three days earlier than expected. BY DOTTY MARTIN The Colonelette field hockey team, playing under a very tough schedule this year, dropped two games early last week, but picked up a victory on Friday to even their record at 2-2. The Blue and Gold traveled to Easton on Tuesday to face Lafayette College. It looked as though the game would be a scoreless tie, until with only 15 seconds remaining, the • Lafayette offense overpowered the Colonelette defense. The result : Wilkes - O; Lafayette -1. _LAFAYETTE IS KNOWN for playing good hockey, and with a score like this, it is evident that the Wilkes defense was sup~rb. Goalie Nancy Roberts played an outstanding game with 16 saves. It has been said that Nancy stopped even the impossible shots. Outstanding performances were turned in by Jean Johnson, Sue Ann Knight, and Barb Gorgas. They never gave up and stopped Lafayette from scoring time and time again. · The Blue and Gold girls again found themselves on the short end of the score when, they were defeated by Kutztown State on.Thursday, 5-2. Scoring for Wilkes were senior Barb Long and freshman Donna Bettelli. Assists were credited to Miss Bettelli and Nancy Enderlein. The Colonelettes iooked slow and tired and were out~hustled by Kutztown constantly. Last week's rain, which cut heavily into practice time didn't help the team. ON FRIDAY AT Ralston Field, the Wilkes team got toge~her and went on to down Drew University, 3-0. Scormg were Sue Funke, two and Penny Bianconi. Assists went to Nancy Mathers, Cathy Yozwiak, Bar b Long and Donna Bettelli. ' In JV action, Wilkes tied two games. ·Toe Lafayette score was 0-0 ~,!!ile the Kutztown game ended, 2-2. Scoring were Nancy Mathers and Penny Bianconi. Karen Killian and Val HoskimLhave been showing great promise on defense and offense, respectively. COACH GAY MEYERS commented ''many of our first team people have to play in the JV game and they also have to play out of their r egular positions. The JV games are giving excellent playing experience for some of our new people and extra work on endurance for every one. These games are a very important part of our schedule. " The Colonelettes will host Bloomsburg State this afternoon in their homecoming game. Note: There has been a lot of comment lately about one of the Wilkes field hockey players wearing white spikes this year. Maybe the idea will catch on. Sal/ey's Heel Injury Kill1i1g Harriers Mike Salley isn 't the best r unner the Wilkes cross-country team has. As a matter of fact, the 5-11 freshman ranks well behind teammates Paul Boris and Mark Zavoy in natural talent. Then why the grimace on coach George Pawlush's face over the foot injury to Salley that may sideline him for the rest of the season? It's just this. With Salley healthy, the Colonels have the g?o_d number three runner they need, and the te~ could flmsh the campaign with at least a .500 record. Without him, thefr win over Madison FDU a week ago may have been their last. DEPTH HAS BEEN a problem for Pawlush from the beginning, but he knew that if his top three or four runners could stay healthy, it wouldn't be a major concern. But Salley is now sidelined with a badly bruised heel, and the future looks bleak. "He's going to see a ~di~tris~," Pawlush explained, "and perhaps, they can fit him wit~~ special type of shoe. But right now, all he c~n do ~or ~t _is stay off it, and we're really doubtful as to. his avallab1hty for the remainder of the season." With Salley out, the Colonels are back where they were a year ago, when they finished 3-14. However, they are not going to roll over and play dead. Both Boris and Zavoy have performed well in the team's first two meets and · others, like Steve Standiford and Jeff Metzger 'were impressive in the FDU match. " Paul (Boris) has been just super in the first two meets," said Pawlush. "He's won both of them by more than a minute over his nearest competitor, and I really believe he's going to get even better. " WITH THE TEAM'S future suffering a dismal blow in Salley's injury, Pawlush is now hoping for great things from individuals like Boris. If Boris can continue his torrid pace into the month of October, he should be a strong favorite to finish among the top 15 runners in the Mi~dle ~tlantic Conference cross-country championships, which will be held on November 8, in Gettysburg. With a .500 season becoming more and more doubtful individual accomplishments from runners like Boris ar~ all Pawlush may have to hang on to. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Had the levies along the river been breached or overtopped, damage to Wilkes' buildings and facilities would have been substantial, since student property also was on the campus. President Robert S. Capin had his hands full during the weekend as he spearheaded the flood precautions on the campus. The first detailed information about the condition of the Susquehanna River iast Friday Was supplied by Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president for management. Finding the river unusually high on his way to the college that morning, Shaw headed for civil defense headquarters at the county courthouse, under the direction of President Capin. "It's automatic for me to go to civil defense if the river is higher than normal," Shaw noted. He added that the college has a "special relationship" with the civil defense organization, owing in part to Wilkes training programs for CD workers. Emergency Meeting Held Shaw conveyed the information to other college administrators at an 8:30 a .m. emergency meeting. "As soon as we learned that there might be trouble with the river, we Dorms Empty Almost three out of every four Wilkes dorm students were evacuated during the flood emergency last Friday and Saturday.

When Miss Pedersen first came to Wilkes-Barre from Colorado she was faced with the task of rebuilding a group that lacked interest and enthusiasm but went on to form a new, exciting and above all more musical association. The chorus will hold concerts this year as it did in past years but with even more changes. The "new look" for the group this year is Bicentennial colors, including new tops for the men and women. The chorus is open to any Wilkes student who likes to sing and Miss Pedersen is encouraging all students to join. This year for the first time Wilkes College will experience a new musical group along with the regular chorus, the Wilkes Choir, featuring individuals with outstanding vocal ability and interest. Five concerts are scheduled for the choir, including two with the band during "Appreciation Night." However, this chorus will be seen and heard at many special events such as the dedication of Stark Learning Center on Saturday, October 11. Diamonds ½ Price Other activities include a recording session of Christmas music at the WDAU television studio and participation in the Spring Fine Arts Fiesta. Also local members of the High School District Chorus will be feted at Wilkes as the college choir conducts a "Read-Thru," on Saturday, December 6 to help the high school group read and perform music for the concerts. During the Spring break Miss Pedersen has planned a tour for the 34-member Concert Choir to local colleges, high schools, and other places to be announced. If you never have attended a Wilkes College Music Department concert, this year is the perfect time to start making it a regular part of your entertainment schedule. All concerts are free and are held in the Center for the Performing Arts. The concerts will be the result of much hard work and planning by Miss Pedersen and will be some of the best sounds ever heard at Wilkes. Jim Ruck, Wilkes-Barre, is president of the chorus and Doreene Psikus, Wilkes-Barre, heads the choir. NOTICE Green and gold Sheaffer fountain pen lost around the Commons or New Men's Dormitory.

When reporting of an affair, meeting, concert or any other event, always give complete details regarding admission fees, decora- tions, entertainment, refreshments, orchestra, and other pertinent facts. The most important information is the time, day, date, and location of the event involved. It is necessary for the success of the event that our readers ,have this information. list the names of committee members responsible for the organization.

Campus Bike Thefts Can Be Prevented Bicycle theft can be a greater problem at Wilkes than you might think. However, this semester there have been no reported thefts, according to Dean George Ralston. He said that last year there was a time "when they were ripping them off right and left." He reported an incident when a chain was cut on a locked bicycle.

The football game between Wilkes and Lycoming, which was postponed Saturday, has been rescheduled for November 22, so the Colonels will go into this weekend's away tilt versus Bloomsburg, with a two-week layoff. Coach George. Pawlush's crosscountry team once again attempted to open their 1975 dual season on Tuesday, when they traveled to New Jersey to take on Madison FDU. The meet was a rescheduling of an earlier postponement between the two institutions. The harriers will be away tomorrow afternoon also, opposing Baptist Bible College in Scranton. With the rains causing cancellations of the soccer team's contests with Baptist Bible and Bloomsburg, coach Chip Eaton's club will once again attempt to even their record at 1-1, when they travel to Williamsport Saturday to oppose Lycoming. .BASEBALL TRYOUTS C • Page7 With almost two weeks r'e mittance from actual competition, the field hockey team traveled to Easton Tuesday for a contest against powerful Lafyette College. A win by the Colonelettes would have kept their perfect record in tact going into this afternoon's battle with Kutztown State College on the Wittenberg First In Football Poll The first weekly rankings of NCAA Division III football teams were released last Friday, and as expected, Wittenberg College (Ohio) is holding down the number one slot. The 1973 national champions are fresh off an upset victory over Division II powerhouse Delaware University, and the Tigers appear to be the team to beat in 1975. FOLLOWING CWSELY ON their tail however, is number two ranked Ithaca College (New York), who has posted impressive victories over St. Lawrence, Albany State, and Cortland State. The Blue Bombers were the Division III runnerups in 1974, when they lost to Central CJ llege of Iowa in the championship game. Holding down the number three position in the poll of NCAA committee members is Shippensberg State of the tough Pennsylvania State College conference, followed very closely by Redlands. A suprise entry in the top ten this week is Franklin & Marshall, who are the favorite to win the Middle Atlantic Conference "Southern Division" crown for a record fifth year in a row. Rounding out the top ten this week are Baldwin-Wallace, Evansville, C.W. Post, Winona State, and last year's champions, Central of Iowa. THE WILKES COLONELS did not receive mention in the rankings this week, but it is expected that their performance during the next three weeks could change all that.

The Wilkes College football team was never aware that their biggest competition this season would be a raging woman named Eloise. But that angry female almost desimated the Colonels to the point that the 1975 grid campaign would have read like this : record-0-1; season opened September 20, vs. Clarion State and season closed September 20 vs. Clarion State. BUT ELOISE STOPPED short of the goaline, as it were, and the "year of great expectations" wlll resume, after a brief delay this weekend, when the Blue and Gold travel to Redman Stadium on the campus of Bloomsburg State College to take on the BSC Huskies. It's been 20 years since these two institutions have battled on the gridiron, with the series abruptly terminated back in 1955 because of some bad blood between the schools. But all is well now and the series could develop into a fierce, but friendly rivalry ... in the near future. While Bloom holds a 7-1 edge in the series, they are coming off a disappointing 1-7-1 season, and the immediate future does not appear promising. COACH BILL SPROULE, . who is in his fifth year as head mentor of the Huskies, welcomed back some 30 odd lettermen when fall practices began in August, but the number has since dwindled, and the remaining veterans were not very impressive in their team's 41-0 shellacking at the hands of Shippensburg. Granted, Shippensberg is a good football team blJt Sproule's offense managed only 81 yards against them, while the defense gave up a whopping 423. And Shippensberg is good, but not that good. Game number two showed very little improvement as well, although they did manage to edge Lock Haven State 9-8. A week earlier, Lycoming College walked all over Lock Haven, beating them in a breeze, 23-0. BLOOM'S RUSHING GAME has been almost non-existant in the early going, with the team's two leading ball carriers, John McCauley and Scott F rasso netting only 115 yards between them. Huskie quarterback Ken Zipko has thrown the ball very sparingly, completing only three of 11 tosses, but those three aerials have racked up 120 yards and the team's lone score on the year. Looking at Saturday's game purely objectively and from the point of talent, Wilkes is certainly a solid favorite. But the performance of the Colonel offense against Clarion two weeks ago, makes one wonder when the Colonels are going to snap out of it. They've got Powerful Ithaca and Albright waiting for them in a couple of weeks, and a defense, no matter how strong it is, can't be expected to pull them out of every game. GRID GRIT : The rescheduling of the Lycoming game for November 22, immediately brings a thought to mind. The opening round of the NCAA Division III playoffs are scheduled for that same afternoon. What happens if the Colonels are selected to play, (assuming that the Lycoming game must be played because of its direct bearing on the Middle Atlantic Confe'rence " Northern Division" championship )? ... there have been a few upsets in the opening weeks of MAC play. Upsala beat Susquehanna, 7-3, and Albright walked over J uniata last weekend ... Bloomsburg also postponed their game last week against Mansfield, because of the prevalent flood conditions. DOMOWITCH Grid Mentor Concerned Over Two- Week Layoff BY PAUL DOMOWITCH An angry swelling river churned fear into the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Pennsylvania citizens this past weekend, when the water of the Susquehanna came within one foot of causing a re-occurrance of that fateful Friday in J une of 1972. It gave this area, which became known as " the valley with a heart" during the last flood, some tense moments, as much of the population prayed to God that their homes would be spared the vengeance of the rampaging river . Rollie Schmidt was not one of . those who worried about the per. sonal damage another flood would ' inflict, because he lives in the safe confines of Hudson, which is on high ground .. But the 41- year - old Blue and Gold football · coach looked to the heavens for yet another reason. Schmidt got mentally worked up for the 1975 SCHMIDT football season, after his club won · the Middle Atlantic Conference crown a year ago. With almost the entire team coming back in tact, there was no telling how far this club would go in 1975. And for Schmidt, that brings back memories. During the late sixties, when Wilkes reeled off 32 wins in a row 'and won two Lambert Bowls, Schmidt and· his teams were the talk of the nation. National . magazines and newspapers such as "Sports Illustrated" ·and the New York Daily News wrote them up, and the attention bestowed on them seemed limitless. SCHMIDT WAS A king among coaching kings then, and if he had wanted to, he could have taken one of many coaching offers at a larger· school, where football ranks above academics. But he didn 't. The Wilkes bug had bitten him, and he was hooked for life . So understandably, Schmidt's concen- tration Friday . was on what the consequences of a flood would do to the 1975 football season. " It was a little selfish of me," h~ admits, " to hope we wouldn't have a problem in our area because of how it would affect the season, but these kids have worked hard, and although I ·really don't know ·at this stage of the game just how good we are, I do know we 're a · competitive ball club, and will give anybody a fight. " While Schmidt is high on his team, the cancellation of the Lycoming game last weekend means that the Colonels go into Saturday's game against Bloom with a two week layoff, and that can kill a competitive edge. "YOU'RE ALWA.YS WORKING toward the weekend during the season, " Schmidt explained, " and because of the rain and threat of a flood we were idle, and I really don 't know how that will affect them." He was optimistic however. "The kids were pretty good. They came over Friday even though they knew there would be no practice, and a good many of them were ·here Saturday, if the flood was no threat to their homes. Sunday, almost everyone was back, and we had a very good practice'. Surprisingly, they're holding that competitive edge, and I just hope they can keep it until Saturday's game." So, the threat of a flood has diminished, and Schmidt and company can get down to tackling other problems; the immediate one being Bloomsburg State College. With the natural forces being contained for at least a short while, Schmidt can rest at ease, that the 1975 season will have both a beginning and an end. As to what kind of end that will be, only time will tell .. WRATH OF AGNES-Last weekend's near disaster brought hack memories of the damage ~ause~ by Hurricane Agnes during the 1972 flood. In the top left photo, Sports Information Director George Pawlush and tennis coach Tom Rokita look in awe at • what were once the sturdy bleachers of Ralston Field. The top right photo shows Rollie Schmidt beginning the difficult task of repairing the mud-wrought turf, where his football team would be forced to play on in two short months. And finally, the bottom photo shows some of the workers, as they begin repair work on what is now the Bobby McBride Memorial Fieldhouse. It was a terrible disaster, and last weekend the well-hidden scars of Agnes were almost ripped up once again. Rams Open Grid Season This Afternoon It was a rainy, but exciting opening day for intramural football last Thursday. The matchup featured Butler against Dirksen, and although Butler was favored in this contest, the Iero brothers teamed up to turn the tide in favor of Dirksen. The first touchdown was scored by ·Butler on a Kresky to Kapinsky aerial. However, the Iero brothers countered with a 45-yard touchdown pass of their own. Butler missed their point after touchdown, leaving the score at 8-6 in favor of Dirksen at the end of the half. Butler seemed to have the game won when they tallied seven points on Kresky's run with only two minutes to play in the game. However, with 1:45 left the Iero brothers te.amed up again with a 65-yard touchdown pass. This made the score 14-13 in favor of Dirksen. Dirksen added a final tally on a Dave Gregrow run as time• ran out. The final score was Dirsen 20, Butler 13. · This afternoon, the powerful Rams will take on the Vet's club in the- opener for both teams. Coming off a third place finisli last season, the Rams will be strong and confident and will be a solid favorite against the Vets. On Mohday, Butler will be meeting the Diaz Destroyers. In their first game, Butler looked a little shaky as a result of inexperience. Diaz is also a team lacking experience and this game will probably go to the team who has _gained some sort of (continued on page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A spirited Dave Gregrow went that route for the whole summer as he heard of the chance to find summer work from a friend. So, logically enough, he dug in. _He recalls: "One day we-hit somethmg that resembled a piece of wood," pausing for a cough, he talks mor~, "It was like sawdust and water, it grossed me right out. You never sa_w anyone jump out of a whole so fast m your life." Things were much cahner than that. He described that "one time we had to plant a wife.,.between the husband and the son. The husband was fresh, (he died in 1973). But excavating difficulties arose. The gravediggers union had in their possession a powerful backhoe to make things a bit easier. Due to the increased skill of the backhoe .I_, , r operator, _ the husband's concrete vault cracked." At this time in the interview, a glass of water was ordered, and after everyone took a sip, Gregrow said: "It smelled ten times worse than a dead woodchuck." Again there were finer moments like the time Dave and his cohorts were so excited that they jumped into the already-dug plot and cracked the future security of a small lad.

The newly constructed service area in the Commons was designed in order to "hasten service and allow expansion of the menu items," according to William Denion, food service manager. This area operates as a snack bar, serving a variety of foods, ranging from sandwiches of all kinds to desserts. In the picture above, Sophie Bohinski, Commons manager, is shown in her usual place behind the counter, and in line from left to right ar~ Mr. Denion and seniors Mary Lou Gottlieb ~d Jim Morgan. . A number of sell-service items, notably beverages, allow for faster service. The menu now mcludes more "hot foods," salad platters and desserts, with pizza being a possible future addition. According to Mr. Denion, the redesigned service area is now "the major hub of operation throughout the day." The front counter is now a supplementary area, providing such items as sandwiches and ice cream. The physical changes in the building include the installation of a new sprinkler system, emergency lighting and a redesigned staircase. Because of the improved stairway design, it is now possible to exit the building directly from the second floor, eliminating possible congestion on the main floor in case of an emergency. . The services of the Commons are available to all college personnel Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 7 p.m. to midnight. . . During the day it is a popular place to eat, relax and socialize between classes. A game room on the second floor is equipped with ping-pong tables, pin-ball machines and a television set.

He bet .$20 that 500 tickets would not be purchased by Wilkes students prior to the concert. Members of the SG unanimously agreed to the bet. Dr. Alfred Groh has refused Student Government permission to use the CPA for their film series. Dean B. stated that Dr. Groh complained of SG not showing responsibility in using the theat.er. The SUB is being used as a replacement and it was reported that it is working out well. Clubs that did not attend the mandatory treasurers meeting last Thursday will not get funds from ·student GoverijJilent. It was emphasized: that SG is absorbing $10.30 of the cost per couple for the Homecoming Dinner Dance. The tickets will go on sale next week in the bookstore and the cost is $20 per couple. Zeke Zaborney, president, expressed his appreciation to Mildred Gittens for selling tickets for SG functions in the bookstore.

From left to right, the unsung heroes are: Gayl Donaleski, Dianne Mital and Doris Swoboda. Absent at the time was Elaine Simmons. . Unseen Switchboard Operators .Encounter Unusual Experiences· By Joseph Buckley " Uood afternoon, Wilkes College .. May I help you? ... One moment please." These familiar words are heard every day by all those who contact the college switchboard. Not only are they unsung heroes but the switchboard operators are also unseen and unknown. "Not very many people know we're up here," said Dianne Mital referring to the small cubicle on the second floor of Chase Hall where the switchboard is located. " Nobody knows who we are," she continued. " They never see us and they don't really get to know us." Dianne, a senior majoring in elementary education, has worked part-time at the switchboard for two years. She said some people "sort of take us for granted, because they don't realize how busy we can get. " Another part-time operator is Gayl Donaleski, who was trained for the job during the summer. " I enjoy it," she said. "It's really interesting." Citing the large number of people using the phones, she said "You can get to know some of the people. Then, they're not just voices." Both Gayl and Dianne said the job is good training experience. They said they can always fall back on it and get a good job. · Doris Swoboda, one of two full-time switchboard operators, came to Wilkes six weeks ago. But she said "I've done telephone work all my life." She worked at the Sterling Hotel's switchboard for 27 years before an automatic system was installed. She said working in such a small place doesn't bother her because "the last place . was smaller than this." About her first six weeks at Wilkes, Doris said "So far it has been pretty safe and normal. I just like talking to people and being able to help." Asked if there were any humorous calls, Gayl said she once received a call from a child who wanted to "speak to my daddy." The child wouldn't give his father's name or department, so Gayl began to read the entire list of faculty members to the child until he finally admitted which one was his father. Dianne said she used to receive requests for songs when WILK Radio's phone numberwassimilartothatofWilkes Once again, many college seniors across the nation are applying for graduate study with the same fervor displayed years earlier as high school seniors applying for college. And again, there are the headaches of application fees, admittance tests and test fees. As high school seniors, many were faced with the SATs and their costs. Now, the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE ) rise out of Princeton, N.J., with their $10.50 price tag. This fall however the Educational Testing Service (ETS ), will again offer fe~ waivers' for the GRE to qualified applicants. ETS has been doing this for several years, since it was found that fees for tests like this actually discouraged many from applying for graduate school. _ ETS felt that waiving the fee for the GRE would at least eliminate one of these annoying costs that beset the grad school applicant. . So, each fall; they provide ten thousand fee waivers across the nation to the first ten thousand qualified applicants, thus making promptness and quick action one of the first limitations. What are the other li~itations that fur ther distinguish a qualified applicant? Mr. Richard Raspen, Wilkes College financial aid officer, said that there are only two qualifications . First, the GRE applicant must receive financial aid from the institution itself, in this case, Wilkes Cgllege. The second qualification, nowever, is the most important factor in determining eligibility. The parental contribution to the student's educational costs, as determined by the College Scholarship Service from the Parents' Confidential Statement, must be zero. In short, the GRE applicant must not be receiving aid from his parents as stated on his Parent Confidential Statement. These two qualifications, plus the limited availability of the fee waivers, are all that determine eligibility . To apply for a fee waiver, then, the student must be a senior who will be taking the GRE ( only the GRE ) and must meet the financial qualifications above . If qualified, or unsure if eligible, the student may simply go to Mr. Raspen's office, where it will be determined if the student is eligible for the fee waiver. If eligible, a certificate will be filled out, which automatically grants the fee waiver. This certificate will then be good for either the $10.50 GRE Aptitude test fee or the $10.50 GRE Advanced test fee, or the $21.00 combined fee for both. . Mr. Raspen stresses that the waiver is good only for the Graduate Record Examinations, and no other tests. Promptness and quick action are going to be necessary, however, since Mr. Raspen has only 14 more · certificates left. Once these 14 are gone, he can't grant any more fee waivers, no matter how qualified the student. For fast and qualified students, this is relief for one of the headaches of applying to gradµate school. College. Elaine Simmons, the second full-time member of the switchboard team, has been working at Wilkes for approximately two years. She was unavailable at the time of the interview but Doris, Gayl and Dianne agreed that " Elaine is a very competent switchboard operator." James Berg, professor of history, recently designed a rearrangement of the college's telephone system. He.--....~ - - - - -.... . , ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - assigned neyv extension numbers and gave specific sequences to the • different departments. The installation of the new system was difficult for the switchboard operators, according to Berg, because they could not get a day to day update of the new numbers. Dianne said the system " makes it a lot easier for us" because the board lists the sequences of extensions all in a row. The four switchboard operatorsDoris, Elaine, Gayl and Dianne-do a fine job and deserve a great deal of appreciation. They are four definite assets to Wilkes College.

The Manuscript," the college's annual llterar.y magazine. ' Now a chance is being offered for the school's "young Herruningways" to profit from their talents. The "World of Poetry," a monthly newsletter for poets, has announced a contest featuring a cash first prize of $1500. Second prize in this competition is $500, and 49 other prizes will also be awarded. According to contest director Joseph Mellon, "We are encouragi!}g poetic talent of every kind, and expect our contest to produce exciting discoveries." One thing Wilkes certainly has to offer is talent of every kind. Rules and official entry forms are available by writing to: World of Poetry, 801 Portola Drive, Dept. 211, San Francisco, Cal., 94127.

MICE (continued from page 1.) ~ By Marianne Montague 'The Letter' The other day while picking up litter on the third floor of Stark (I was trying to impress Dr. Reif) I stumbled across this piece of paper. It was written neatly and not scribbled so I knew it wasn 't somebody'.s chem notes. I thought I'd better take it with me and see if I could find its owner. It turned out to be a letter from some dorm kid to his mother. I couldn't find the writer's last name so I thought I'd print it here in my column. If this is your letter and you want it back, look for me any time on the third floor of the library, ( this week I'm trying to impress my English profs). Anyway here's the letter. Dear Mom, This is your favorite ( and only) son writing to you from Wilkes College or as we lovingly refer to it - "Stalag 18703." Things here are terrific as usual. Rumor has it that I may get the award for the "Most Outstanding Student" because I've been outstanding in line for the bathroom more times than anybody else. I've decided to change my major to Phys Ed. They really don't offer it as a major here but I figure if I take Volleyball for the third time and Co-Ed Social Dancing for the four'th time I should have enough credits to get some kind of degree. Please don't send any more money. I have plenty to pay for my suite of rooms in the Sterling Hotel and my townhouse in Oakwood Park. Also I'm sending James, the butler, home. He annoys my roommate, Bill. James keeps picking Bill's clothes up off the floor and Bill likes to have his clothes all around so he can keep inventory of what he has. I met seven really nice girls who I'd like to bring home to meet you. Of course none of them are good enough for me but I thought I'd cut them a break and go out with them. . We even have live entertainment around here. Last week they told me some guy with a patch over his eye was gonna speak at the gym. I got all excited because I thought it was Captain Hook and I could ask him if he ever caught up with Peter Pan. But it must have been one of those guys who had a sex change because they said his name was "Mushy Diane." He was from Egypt or Israel-' one of those countrie~ - it doesn't really matter, they're all alike. I really miss Choo Choo, my puppy. Bill and I have a hamster but it's not the same. I'm having a heck of a time trying to teach it to fetch my slippers. Well, I gotta get going. A bunch of us guys are gonna go throw rotten tomatoes on the porches of the profs that flunked us last semester. Your son, There are three basic theories on how the mice got inside Stark Learning Center. The most o~v~ous theory that the mice are fugitives from the Biology or Psychology departments-has been ruled out by faculty from the two departments and by several eyewitnesses.

Soccer, the oldest and most popular game in the world, has been fighting an .American identity cris is probably ever since the first few decades of immigrants were seen juggling a spotted ball up and down the street. EVEN THOUGH IT is Henry Kissinger's favorite game , soccer is just about as rare in Wyoming Valley as a good old Buffalo nickel. Why? Who knows. But you can bet · that it has something to do with exposure. How many people around ever witnessed a first class soccer game or traveled to a World Cup game? The only high school in this area that hassoccer is Wyoming Seminary. But a few years back, 1949 to be exact, a crystalballer by the name of Bob Partridge initiated the sport at Wilkes College. Somebody said that he and his Colonel team went 0-28 before they saw a victory. But now in 1975, soccer - from the pro ranks to the pee wees, seems to be catching fire across the country. The North American Soccer League now has some 20 team franchises, with one as close as Philadelphia, and the greatest player in the ·world, Pele. Athletic budgets at colleges and even high schools are so tight, right now, that sports which eat away at a budget such as football, are being dropped from BAVITZQUIZ 1. Name the outfielder-first baseman who in 1974 led the American League in total bases and doubles. 2. Roberto Clemente's last hit was his 3,oooth. Off whomdid he get it? 3. Between 1971-1974 this pitcher won 90 games; more than anyone· else in the big leagues. 4. Name the player who led American League outfielders in assists six times in the 10 seasons, 1962-1971. 5. Name the two third basemen who combined to lead the National League in walks seven times between 1961-1968. The soccer movement in the United States has been moving at a slow tortoise-like pace since it was introduced centuries ago. But the appearance of Pele onto the American scene, and the nourishment of homegrown players has given the sport its biggest lift in quite some time. financially troubled institutions. As they give the boot to football, it even makes more sense to have soccer arrive on the scene. Says Wilkes head soccer coach Chip Eaton: "Soccer is the most economic sport to play." Eaton said that he didn't know why school boards locally don't investigate the proposition of putting soccer into the athletic program. This summer Eaton ran a soccer clinic for the localities and claims it was a--great success. He stated that there are enough knowledgeable soccer people in the valley and that public relation is the The Colonels cross-country team has developed a unique problem as they open their 1975 dual season tomorrow afternoon against Madison FDU. They need runners ! Now don't misunderstand this.

Retired coach Ara Parseghian first inserted the Wing-T about five years ago, and new mentor Dan Devine has kept it. It's based on misdirection, and if a defense isn't prepared for it, they're in for a long afternoon . .. DAVE TRETHA WAY upped his career interception total to 11 in the Clarion contest. He's four away from tying Joe Wiendl's mark ... one bright spot in the Colonel's play Saturday was the play of linebacker STEVE LESKIW. Winky roamed from sideline to sideline making 16 tackles, and getting an assist on six others. He is quite a ballplayer .. . Punter DON McDERMOTT also had a fine afternoon, averaging 39.7 yards on a total of 10 boots. He had two that traveled more than 55 yards in the air, only to have both of them returned for good yardage. He had excellent hang time on each, and it was just a matter of poor coverage by his teammates. Intramural Football (continued from page 8) Bruce Davis and H.R. Haldeman will strengthen Dennison's offense. They will be complimented in the backfield by speedster John Pinelli. The defensive chores for Dennison will be handled by Gimp Gorton and Buffalo Wasmanski. Wide receiver Jay Lemoncelli will be the catalyst of this year's team. Coming out of retirement, Jay will be an indomitable asset to the team. The Rams have also made a number of key trades this past winter. They acquired defensive standouts Jim Stehle and Neil Bavitz · which should bolster an already awesome unit. Combine that with an ff h d d b R" h C . o ense ea e y 1c ronauer and Jack Keller, the Frenchman and the Rams appear almost shoe-in for the playoffs.

They are good enough to the point that a .500 season for the first time in the sport's history at Wilkes, is very possible. They have runners like Mark Zavoy, Paul Boris, Mike Salley, Jeff Davis, Steve Standiford, and Jeff Metzger. And they have Mary Kay as well. But that 's where it ends-a t seven runners. A few more unexpected injuries like Zavoy's slightly aggravated hamstring that he pulled in practice this week, and the Colonels are left holding· the bag. Pawlush has issued an open invitation to anyone interested in becoming part of the team. He is quick to point out that a year round track and physical training program are now available for his runners in conjunction with the Wyomipg Valley Striders, the running facilities in the area are improving every day, and more importantly, you can help the 1975 Colonel cross-country team become the best in Wilkes history.

The North American Soccer League now has a mandatory rule that each team must carry a certain number of American born players. This insures that the sport, on the American scene, will not become flooded with foreign players. They figure that for the most part, no one wants to go see a person they do not know. Americans somehow have this hang-up about soccer not being their game and until this notion dissolves, soccer won't be considered as American as the hot dog and apple pie. American born players, who have attracted headlines and a tip of the hat from coaches, are collegiate bred Kyle Rote Jr. and Bobby Rigby. The latter incidentally, played goalkeeper for East Stroudsburg State and was the only man at the time better than Wilkes' Chip Eaton in the late 60's and early 70's. ' Rote and Rigby are firmly established professionals now, and have led the way for other great American college players to follow. ' BUT IT COMES back to the theory that you have to start young in order to be successful, or to have a well developed program. And when Americans start young, they start with either a football, baseball, or basketball - in their hands. They develop a smooth eye-to-hand contact. While they are doing this, their European counterparts are kicking anything and everything that comes in front of them. In this area anyway, if people will begin to notice soccer · via weekly national television, and the local press realizes that the number of Americans playing the game has quadrupled and recognize it as a sport not as a hobby, then you might have something. Tennis, locally, was a back door sport a while ago. But increased TV coverage, and public interest has made it so that tennis and tennis courts are flourishing in good number. So the same can happen here for soccer, if the desire is there. �The Beacon Page s September 25, 1975 ••• ACON SPORTS Lycoming No Pushover For ColonelGridders BY PAUL DOMOWITCH previous offensive showings, Satur- out of the Albright tilt, but Lycoming It was the opening game for both day could end up in a 0-0 :!2adlock. sources claim he'll be back to 100 teams, which meant of course that Junior signal caller John Johnson percent by gametime Saturday, and neither Clarion nor Wilkes had an will direct Lycoming out of their will start against the Colonels. opportunity to scout each other prior pro-type offense, with hard running GRID GRIT : The Wilkes-Ly-. to Saturday's clash. fullback Bob Weber and tailback coming encounter will be the sixth As the Colonels put their offense to Phil Belino tacking him up. _ _ annual Fez Bowl...there were no work, the visitors saw nothing new Coach Bob- Girardi's club has serious injuries to any _of the in coach Rollie Schmidt's attack stayed mainly with a running attack Colonels as a result of the Clarion plan.

Dayan, the lead speaker in this year 's Concert and Lecture Series, faulted the agreement for not formally ending Egypt's state of war against Israel. He said that the Israeli withdrawals from the Sinai were compensated not by Egyptian concessions but by increased American military and economic aid to Israel. " I don 't mean to object to the U.S. aid, but we're at war with Egypt, not . the United States," General Dayan noted. While acknowledging Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's intentions of trying to secure a Middle East peace, Dayan contended that "Kissinger won't be able to bring peace with one shuttle or two shuttles or even ten shuttles" unless the United States reevaluates its Middle Eastern policy. The major obstacle to peace in the Middle East, Dayan said, is the extensive Soviet presence in the area as exemplified by the Soviet Union taking over the entire Egyptian air defenses for a period in 1970. Dayan further noted that following the 1973 Yorn Kippur war, Moshe Dayan At Gym she Soviets gave Egypt and Syria ten single file line.

Sale of Books Set For Next Tuesday Seidm~n Moods In Leather FRYE BOOTS ,~------- by Floyd Miller This year begins the 20th year of intercollegiate debate at Wilkes College. Beginning . in 1949, and ~ except for a long period between 1 1967 and 1973 when there was no • team, Wi:l:es College debate has come to the present as a viable part of education at Wilkes. There have been formative years where Wilkes debate has not set the ' world afire, but there have been mofe good years, the most notable ~ being 1954, when Wilkes defeated the University of Alabama to become NUMBER ONE in the nation, of all colleges and universities. In its history, the Wilkes Debate Team has met and defeated such schools as Harvard, Army, Navy, Penn, Temple, Rutgers, Princeton, Pitt, Duquesne, Villanova, Penn State, King's, Notre Dame, Alabama, Virginia, S~ranton, and others. Most of Wilkes' success was under Dr. Arthur Kruger, whose books are used as debate textbooks at a number of colleges and universities throughout the country. Presently, Bradford Kinney coaches debate, after coming here in 1973 to help rebuild Wilkes debate after its , long drought. But enough of history; as the old trophies begin to show their age, new shiny trophies must be added to preserve the life of debate. Coach Kinney's people are actively engaged in that goal. And although their success has not been measured by the amount of hardware, it has been demonstrated by the improvement in their educational experience, by their travels, and by their hope for the coming year. Such an _ experience should not be reserved for only a handful, however, but for anyone who needs it, wants it, and is willing to feel it. And now for the sales pitch. There . is never such a thing as too many people working with debate. Just see Mr. Kinney in his office onthe second floor of Kirby Hall (or call ext. 393) . or talk to anyone you know on the team. Anyone interested is welcome, regardless of experience, major, class, or grade point average. If inexperienced, learning about debate will increase your ' sense of achievement. The times and dates of the first meetings will be posted around campus. Here's to the Wilkes College Debate Union for a good year.

This program enables students who apply for financial aid to work for the college as student-aides. F-inancial Aid Director Richard Raspen, receives calls from department heads as to what jobs are available, how many students are needed and what experience is necess~ry. Raspen then contacts a qualified student for the job. The decision of hiring, however, remains with the department head and the administration. If a student qu,ilifies for financial aid, he automatically is eligible for the work-study program. The federal government pays 80 per cent , of every dollar the student ~ams. "However," Raspen commented "the student must take the initiative to ask for the job. We cannot just place any student in a job - the student must first let us know that he or she is interested in the program." If a student is interested in the program, all he has to do is let Raspen know. The financial aid director will then check out the student's eligibility and, when jobs are available, he will place the student. Raspen also noted that the college has its own work-study program. This program is exactly the same, only it is funded 100 per cent by the college and is intended for students I I J. it not financially eligible to work in the gove~n1!1ent-funded program. .

The pay rate is $1.80 an hour and students last earned a total of $200,370. Debators Form New . Division ' Theadded Wilkesa College Debate to Union has new division the Wilkes forensics program. Under the direction of Bradford L. Kinney, the major expansion is the formulation of an individual events unit. According to Prof. Kinney, the individual events team will consist of those students interested in competition in speaking on the college level other than debate.

The organization of this unit will offer an opportunity for Wilkes students to become actively involved in the fast growing forensic program that the college offers. At present, Prof. Kinney states that he has 18 students that will participate in the new program, in addition to those already on the debate squad.

Every place of employment has employee~employer problems and Wilkes College is no exception, as displayed in the resignation of the two infirmary nurses and their unwillingness to meet with the administration a second time to settle their differences. · When looking at the dilemma it appears to be only a minor labor difficulty between the two sides . Wilkes needs the help of the m edical women for 20 days during the. intersession but the nurses chose not to give their services since they claim they had no wr itten contract for the extended service . However . in point of fac t , the nurses' gripe seems to be unwarranted since their previous letters of appointment to the Co llege stated that they are employed by Wilkes from September 1 to June 30, inclusively, in c luding the month of January . , Previously , it was an understanding between Dean Lampe and the nurses, usin g discretion, that the nurses schedu le during January was flexible, because of the semester break . Depending on the work load , the nurses could or could not report for work on the campus . They agreed to remain at home . However, with the new . intersession the work load at the infirmary definitely will be increased. All the administration is asking is that the nurses work the prescribed time of the 10-month agreement. The nurses say the,,ir complaint isn't mainly salary, and we think that is understandable since they have been getting a good deal, moneywise . The infirmary is open 57 hours a week , Swnmer proved enlightening for three members of the "Wilk~s College Family," as they spent five weeks, according to the Student Handbook .

Falling at approximately 15-20 feet per second, to land on a section of bug-infested Georgia terrain, describes the summer exploits of ROTC Cadet Mark Symanowicz. Symanowicz spent three weeks at Fort Benning in hope of becoming a qualified paratrooper in the Air Force. Following four weeks of field training at Plattsburg, N.Y., and intensive study at the southern Air Force Airborne School, Symanowicz made the grade and became the first Wilkes ROTC cadet to complete "jump" school. The junior sociology majorremarked, "The first time I made my jump was a traumatic experience since my parachute malfunctioned when the shroud lines wrapped over the canopy, creating two fabric bubbles instead of one and resulting in my rapid descent. Fortunately the techniques I learned in 'Emergency Procedure' paid off. My reserve parachute obviously worked." Following the initial jump from the C130 cargo plane, Symanowicz successfully completed four more exits from aircraft at 1250 feet. Clad in his Air Force fatigues, he noted, "The biggest discomfort was not from the defective parachute but fro1n the large amount of flies continuously buzzing around my head in the 100 degree heat on the ground. A native of Reading, Symanowicz is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Symanowicz. By Donna M.

Newspapers Magazines Paperbacks �September 18, 1975 Page7 The Beacon By Joe _Dettmore NCAA Grid Playoffs Take on New Twist I CAME BACK-1ndeed, Bill Metzger did come back. After a year away from school and football, he is back challenging for a ,<;tarting offensive line position in the form that earned him all-conference honors in 1973. -Photo By Ra11 Pre by- Nu1nber 72 Is Back Better Than Ever BY PAUL DOMOWITCH Last season, Billy Metzger watched from the stands, as the Colonels rolled to·_ a 7-2 record arid their first Middle Atlantic Conference grid crown since 1969. ON THE OUTSIDE, Metzger smiled and cheered the efforts of his former teammates, but inside he felt deeply frustrated over the fact that he couldn't be out there at his offensive tackle position, blowing open holes for his running backs and protecting his quarterback from a physical pounding. It's a tough thing to sit by and watch helplessly from the sidelines, when you are used to being out there on center stage; especially for Metzger. Only a year prior, he had been named to the all-conference team for his spectacular performance during the 1973 season, and he was looking forward to an even better campaign in '74. But academic difficulties intervened, and the 6'1, 230-pound Metzger was forced into early retirement. NOW, IN 1975, Billy is back better than ever, and working even harder to regain a starting berth on the Colonel offensive forward wall. When he left school in May of 1974, Metzger had figured his collegiate playing days had come to an end. He began working full time with his father, Duncan Metzger who is an electrician, but continued to stay in good physical shape. He ran and lifted weights on a regular basis, played plenty of softball during the summer, and kept his attachment with the grid sport, by playing flag football in the fall. EVEN AS LATE as June of this past summer, Metzger had no intention of enrolling again at Wilkes. But whether it was his desire to finish his college education or the desire to get back into a football uniform, it matters little. What's important to him is that he IS back, and MAC opponents are going to know it soon enough. If there is one thing that he realizes since his return, it's that his past all-MAC credentials are just that-in the past. Metzger is trying to earn a starting berth on the Colonel offensive line, and in order to do that, he's got to beat out one of four returning starters front last year's championship team. That quartet includes guards Len Dalmas and Frank Wengen, and tackles Bob Para and Joe Dettmore. IF ANYTHING,- METZGER'S presence has spurred the quartet onto even greater production. None of them want to be standing on the sidelines for Saturday's opener with Clarion, but il really makes little difference. Schmidt will be shuffling in fresh linemen quite often, so that all of his talented " blocks of granite" will be well rested. One thing is for sure though. When the Colonels do run onto the field Saturday afternoon , big Billy Metzger won't be watching helplessly from the stands. He'll be out there wearing old number 72, and when he pops his first defensive lineman, it will be his way of saying, " I'm back. " The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced recently that the 1975 Division III football playoffs will be expanded to include eight teams this year. THE BEACON LEARNED of this in a phone interview with Denny Pope of the NCAA main office in Kansas City, Missouri earlier this week: The tournament, which originated in 1973, had consisted of a four team format the past two years, but because of staunch support from most of the Division III schools, and the fact that the NCAA's Division II has operated successfully with an eight team playoff system, the change has been made. "We have broken the country into four regions," Pope explained. " North, south, east and west. One On September 21, 1974, the Colonel football team lost their opening day team will be taken from each of game to C.W. Post, 44-6. Wilkes went on to record a 7-2 season and win the these regions, with the other four playoff berths being awarded to Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division" championship. teams that our Selection Committee , deems worthy enough." With the exception of the finals, all of the playoff games will be played on participating campuses. This By Paul Domowitch means that competing teams will be playing host to quarterfinal and semi-final contests. The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl championship game is scheduled for December 6, in Phenix City, Alabama. The lone survivor of that contest will be the They say that things are better the second time around, and nothing NCAA Division III champion. POPE ADDED THAT while no could be truer of our visit to Princeton University last weekend, for the date has been set for team Colonel-Tiger "closed" scrimmage. Closed is supposed to mean not open to selections, the announcement will be the public, but someone forgot to tell the more than 500 people who showed made sometime in mid-November. up to watch. It's a shame, because a lot of Wilkes fans would have made the trip if they had known that they wouldn't be locked out. .

Unfortunately, the field had just been completely resodd,ed, after the Giants and Steelers tore up the old grass in an exhibition contest a week earlier. That meant of CO\!_l'se, that Wilkes and Princeton would tangle on QlJI _ the Tiger's practice field, _which is adjacent to the main playing surface. Apparently, the change of location didn't bother the Colonels at all, and during the first how- and a half of the scrimmage, they were quite 1. The American League record impressive.

Sports Chatter -A SECOND TIME AROUND BAVITZ Z �Page The Beacon September 18, 1975 s ~W)!!lli:lllil)ill'\ ., 1,·h11t\~ 111 ., ••• Visitors In Rebuilding Year Wilkes Favored Over Clarion BY PAUL DOMOWITCH The preparation is over. Almost four weeks of pre-season drilling and conditioning have come to an end, and the Princeton scrimmage is behind them. Saturday afternoon, 66 Colonel gridders will charge onto the Ralston Field turf to the tune of "Fight Team Fight," as so many other Wilkes football teams have done before them. LEADING THEM OUT before the throng of hopeful Blue and Gold followers will be a small, tired looking man with a loosened tie dangling from his neck; and the ever-present blue Wilkes jacket, which has become a part of his enigma, draping his upper torso. That man, small in stature _but not in coaching abiltty is head mentor Rollie Schmidt, and within his passive manner will be hidden the belief that this is· one helluva ballclub following on his heels. He doesn't have to tell his players that. · They know it. But knowing it is not enough. They must now prove it; they must win ball games. The first obstacle will be Saturday's visitor to Ralston Field ; Clarion State College. Clarion is a team that is rebuilding. A year ago, the Golden Eagles reeled off a 6-2-1 record, while finishing second in the tough Pennsylvania State College Conference to Slippery Rock. JIM COSTANZO "Had a Good Scrimmage" . OFFENSIVELY, THEY RANKED among the NCAA Division H's best,· averaging 381 yards a game in total offense. Of those 381, 214 were pounded out on the ground, and 167 were gathered through the airways. Unfortunately for head coach Al Jacks, who is beginning his 13th year at the helm of Clarion, 12 starters from that 6-2-1 unit have since dissipated, and he is left with a rebuilding job you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Only halfback Larry Wilson, a 5-5, 160 pound speedster returns to carry the brunt of the Clarion running attack, while senior Tim Dutrow, who threw only 42 passes in 1974, will take over as the Golden Eagles field general. ., Clarion will operate offensively out of a " Delaware Wing-T," and must establish some type of running game against the Colonels to be successful. It will be up to the Wilkes defense to dissuade them from doing just that. IN THE PRINCETON scrimmage fast Saturday, running was not one of the Ivy League teams more successful endeavors, thanks to the tremendous play of the likes of Don Kulick, Tom Bradshaw, Lou Maczuga, Jim Costanzo, Charlie Crawford, and Chris O'Brien. Costanzo, who is battling Crawford for one of the tackle positions, had a fine afternoon against the Tigers. Defensively, Clarion operates from what looks like a 5-2-4, utilizing a middle guard on the nose of the center. In this case, it will be sophomore Kenny Sickler's nose he wiH be lining up on. Three of their five defensive linemen are returning starters, while with the exception of two experienced cornerbacks, their pass defense is untested and inexperienced. Ironically, while the offense w.as averaging 381 yards a game last season, the defense was allowing almost that to the opposition. GRID GRIT : Rodney Smith did not make the trip down to Princeton Saturday, because of a nagging ankle injury. It's . nothing serious, but it's kept him from working out, and if it doesn't mend soon, sophomore Ed Murray may get the starting nod Saturday. Murray ran for several big gainers against Princeton ... who will be the starting quarterback Saturday? Ini-mini-myni-mo-Snyder. Defensive halfbacks Fred Marianacci and Dave Trethaway need five interceptions apiece to tie the Wilkes career record for aerial thefts which was set by none other than Joe Wendl during the years 1965 through 1968. _ Tom 'Terrific' A Born Leader where the scoring was handled by one or , two individuals. Tom likes this year's setup much better. "I LIKE TO play a running and passing style of soccer. I like to play team soccer · instead of looking for a certain person to pass to all the time. " . It looks like a promising season for the team if Tom's expectations are upheld. Knowing the type of desire that Tom has, _ we're sure that success is close at hand. BY DAVE ORISCHAK The key to any good team is a strong nucleus and Tom Trost is providing just that as captain of this year 's Colonel soccer team. HIS SOLID ABILITY, leadership, and optimism are all traits which Coach Eaton will use to the full benefit of the team. Tom's ability is the resulfof eight years of soccer. experience. His career started during his freshman year of high school and was highlighted two years ago when he accompanied the Wilkes team to the ECAC tournament. Tom has also gained valuable experience during his summers when he plays in ·various leagues around the Philadelphia area. Leadership is something which seems to come naturally to Tom. Not only is he a leader on the field, but he carries his leadership with him off the field as welL Thts can clearly be seen as he carries out his daily activities as the resident assistant of Slocum Hall, one of the men's . dormitories on the campus. In general, Tom is a guy, who is both respected and admired by his fellow players and this is an important quality for a captain to.have. TOM IS LOOKING optimistically at the upcoming season. "I think that we Harriers Enjoy Finest Hour At Invitational TOM 'TERRIFIC' ''A Leader All The Way" definitely have a chance at the title this year. We have a lot of good talent but more importantly we're playing as a team. I'd even rate us above the team that went to the ECAC tournament two years ago." According to Tom, the scoring this year will be done by a variety of people. This will come as a contrast to last year's team Coach George Pawlush took a line from the great Winston Churchill last Saturday afternoon, when he was heard saying in a less subdued manner than Winnie, "this is our finest hour." THE COLONEL - CROS~COUNTRY team had not stifled a German attack; nor had they rode victorious into Berlin. Rather, they finished sixth out of fourteen teams in the Lebanon Valley Invitational meet, and for Pawlush and his team, that was definitely a reason for rejoicing. "I am really happy about our team's performance," Pawlush said. "It's the most optimistic sign in our cross-country program in five years." And optimistic it was, as sophomore club team earlier in the week, and the head Paul Boris captured third place amonp ll8 mentor was optimistic over her team's runners on the 4.8 mile course, with a tiin..: early season form.

EXPECTED TO COMPETE for the first time on the "old timers" squad are Ellen Schwartz, Angela Centrella, and Marivita Saleski, three of the standouts on last season's Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Ath,letic Association championship team. For mos.t of the alumni and upperclassmen on the Colonelettes, the game holds less significance than the post-game reunion, where old friends can once again get together and talk about the past, the present and the future . For many of the freshmen and sophoi;nores, Saturday is an opportunity for them to meet many of the great players from the past that they have only heard about from the older girls. It's an opportunity to play against the likes of Donna Doncses, Stephanie Umbach and Lorraine Mancuso. ALUMNI GAMES ARE like no other a team will play during the season. The outcome is meaningless, but the blanket of memories and emotion that will cover the field on Saturday morning is very much meaningful. And for a few brief hours, the past and the present come together as one. Once Saturday comes to a close however, the Colonelettes must return to the here and now and put all their concentration into winning their second straight NPWIAA crown. They opened their conference calendar yesterday afternoon, when they traveled up Interstate 81 to tackle the University of Scranton. This is Scranton's first season ·in the NPWIAA field hockey _league.

Vol.XXVIII,No.1 Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania September 11, 1975 DaYiJh To Lecture On Mid-East Peace Capin is First Acting President By Frank Baran By Rich Colandrea · Robert S. Capin doesn't find many leisure hours to h~self the~e days as he becomes 11 days old today as Acting President of the College, to fill a post vacated by Dr. Francis J. Michelini at the start of this month. Dr. Michelini accepted a position as head of the State Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities in Harrisburg. Thus, Capin becomes the first Acting President in college history. You see, Capin is also the official Dean of Academic Affair s, although he has delegated some of these chores to other college personnel. He still is a Professor of Accouriting but has only found time to squeeze in six to eight hours this semester in Accounting 101 as he starts his stint as president until a new president takes office. . The entire selection process may take anywhere from ~1x months to a year. The Presidential Search Committee, chaired by U.S. Court Judge Max Rosenn will screen candidates. The committee consists of seven members of the ~oard_ of Trustees: three members of the faculty including, Professor . Benjamin J. Fiester, English Department; Professor Welton G. Farrar Commerce and Finance Department ; and Professor' Charles B. Reif, chairman, Biology Department; and two students, Edward Zaborney, SG President and Debbie Lataro Wilkes senior. ' However, the mission of the Presidential Search Committee will be just to recommend candidates and the final selection is in the hands of the Board of Trustees, chaired by Atty. Joseph J. Savitz. In an interview last week, Mr. Capin discussed the key to a successful president and pointed out that the "allo~ati?n ~f respo~s~bility" is most important in running an mstitut10n. Dec1s10ns must be made in recognition of the needs and desires of students according to Capin, as he to~d the freshman class that "vou are Wilkes College·and without you and your fellow students there would be no purpose for the existence of this institution." He . also spoke of a "dual responsibility," when warning students not to take short cuts in their education, and by the same token, not to let anyone short cut them. By that statement Capin was referring to the faculty, as he has stressed to Department Chairmen the ~esponsibilities of class attendance by both the instructor and the stud~nt, and the compliance of office hours both in class and on the outside. ~c~ording to Acting President Capin, the primary m1ss10n of an institution is to " use the physical and human resources at our disposal to provide a quality education for our students.

In a speech entitled " Peace Negotiation~ in the Middle East: Some &,lutions," Dayan will address himself to the prospects for peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the war-ravaged Middle East. Dayan drew upon his extensive experience in the Israeli military and government in developing his proposals for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement. He served the State of Israel in the United Nations, as Chief of Staff of its armed forces, as Defense Minister, and as a member of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Dayan, a native-born Israeli, was a young farmer when he joined the Haganah, an underground Jew- ·· . Moshe Qayan · 1sh def~~se organization protesting the British mandate in Palestine. In _1~39, he was imprisoned by the British for two years because of his underground activities. Nevertheless, Dayan later joined the British army as a Jewish volunteer and was commissioned as an officer. It was during his service in World War II that he injured his eye, donning the black patch which later became his trademark. After the war, Dayan returned to his farm. His bucolic life was soon interrupted, however, by the Israeli War for Liberation in 1948. Dayan served as a commander on several fronts in that conflict. With the implementation of the United Nations truce which ended the fighting , Dayan was given several · sensitive diplomatic assignments due to his extensive knowledge of the Arab countries and their language. In December, 1954, Dayan was recalled from a mission at the U.N. to become Chief of Staff of Israel's armed forces. Following the 1956 Arab-Israel war, he resigned his post to study political science and Middle Eastern affairs. When war seemed inevitable in May, 1967, Dayan was called.upon to serve as Minister of Defense. In June, 1967, he and Yitzak Rabin, now Prime Minister of Israel, engineered a smashing six-day Wilkes Welcomes Freshni'·e~ n 41 Kirby Park Picnic Held Following a formal orientation earlier in the week at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the ' · Performing Arts, the 29th annual 1: Freshmen Orientation Program . took on an informal note when approximately 700 freshmen and transfer students were feted at a picnic at Kirby Park during the afternoon.

Several days later, Hoover spoke to McFadden about the rate increase.

Even wh en the commi tt ee tri ms the list o if appl icants to two , there is no way to foretell whi ch man_, in t he lo ng run , w ill be the most effective for th e college . The em pl oyer, W i lkes Coll ege, seeks an indi v idual , as an employee, t o be ta ilor-made to a set of pres cribed ideal s known as " what a good co llege pres ident is." It is only ·logical to chose t he ri ght man for t he ri ght job , and currentl y the main tasks of co ll ege pres iden t s thro ughout t he co untry lay in econo mi c areas .

But today th ings are di ff erent. The economy is inflated , enro llments aren 't flou ris hing, and the comptroller often sees more red than he wishes. So it becomes vital to pick for the proxy chair, th e m an who knows most about money management. W i lkes has been rather lucky as it always has, ·until last year, operated in t he black . However , unexpected costs last year put a reversal on the past . Thi s year , according to an official report , the co llege w ill operate on a balanced budget .

So we don't become "short changed," we sugges t th e Com mittee search for a Dean of Academ ic Affa irs, as it m akes " ce nts" to us.

Advice for Freshmen Wilkes College is a Special Place Not because of its site On the Susquehanna Not because of its building Of American tradition Not because of its programs With future thinking Although these are important . .. Wilkes College is a Special Place Because of her people. From the enthusiasm of "Dr. Mike" To the dedication of Milly From the pride of Bill Denion (how I enjoyed those coffee sessions) To the thoroughness of Alice Rader From the professionalism of Tom Moran (George, Nancy , and Donna, too. ) To the complete helpfulness of Phyliss, Sally, Mrs. Shao and Leota. (how I'd like to start a business with that team) From the sagacity of Dean Ralston To the patience of " Ma" Barker and her gang. There are many others I could name Who give Wilkes her special flame But to list them is not my aim. To share them is my special game. Pen Pal Wanted By Per~on In Pen Dr. Werner took me under his wing Dr. Hammer helped me with a special thing Dr. Rees became a special friend Mr. Carle remained patient to the end Dr. Fahmy always had a smile Joe and Al were helpful all the while Dean Capin provided constant support Dean Whitby never came up short Mr .

For the major portion of their collegiate grid careers, the two have been battling one · another for the· starting quarterback job on the Colonel football club, with neither one really able to move into the position on anything more than a temporary basis. Many sportswriters and fans have criticized head coaches who juggle quarterbacks in and out of a game the way Rollie Schmidt has done with Suppon and Snyder, on the substantiation that as field general, a quarterback can't really be effective unless he is confident and can take charge. And how, they say, can a player be confident when he is apprehensive about getting yanked on the first bad call he makes. THERE IS SOME truth to that reasoning, but as with any reasoning, there are exceptions, and this just may be one of them. No two athletes have worked harder to win a starting berth than Suppon and Snyder. For many, this past summer was a time of relaxation and fun. But for those two, it was a period of preparation. Snyder spent almost every day during his vacation working on his passing. He threw hundreds of aerials through tires impr(J\ring his accuracy, worked on his timing, and tried strengthening his arm. Suppon did much the same thing. Desire is certainly not in any short supply here. However, the comparison between the two is one of sharp contrast in regard to their football ability. There is Suppon. At 6-1, 185 pounds, he is strong and quick. As a quarterback in high school on a run oriented club, he seldom put the ball in the air, and earned a reputation as a fine runner. He attended Rutgers University for a short time, before transferring to Wilkes. · - AS A SOPHOMORE at Wilkes, he impressed Schmidt with SU:PPON AND SNYDER "No such thing as permanence." his running ability, and appeared to be the perfect quarterback to run the new Veer offense that the Colonels were installing. But what he possessed as a runner, he lacked as a consistent passer. Snyder's problem certainly wasn't his arm.

Season _Opener A Week Away ' ' (continued from page 8) good passing one. Suppon's strength is Snyder's weakness, and vice versa. NATURALLY, BOTH WANT the job for themselves, and the struggle hasn't been pleasant for either of them at times. At mid-season a year ago, Snyder had two excellent showings, and appeared to have finally settled into the number one position. It was a disheartening time for Suppon then, and there were moments, when he even contemplated quitting. . But as the year wore on, the tables turned, and Chuck came off the bench to help salvage an important win over Delaware Valley. Finally, it was Suppon who started in the all-important MAC title game against Albright, and he led the Colonels to a 14-10 win. If the Colonels had been losing instead of winning, there certainly would have been a great deal of criticism over the two-quarterback system. Even after a 7-2 season, and a conference championship, cynics will tell you that Wilkes can't win using both of them. But how many other clubs have._ someone like Snyder or Suppon, that can come off the bench and pick up the slack. A talented sixth man is invaluable to~ basketball team's success, and for the Colonels, their "twelfth" man is just as important. THIS SEASON, THE two are again battling hard for the right to start in the season opener against Clarion St., and that decision could be determined by each one's play in the Princeton scrimmage on Saturday. · "Both are in great shape," Schmidt said recently, "and functioning better than I have seen them in a year or two. But right now, we're looking at six quarterbacks, so it's hard to see anything in this short of a time. We'll have an opportunity to get a better look at them on Saturday." So Suppon and Snyder have learned to take both success and failure as only a temporary situation. Because for this ~ir, there "ain't no such animal" as permanence. And for Wilkes College football's sake, that could be a blessing. Sports By Paul D<)mowitth Cha·t ter· . - · WASTING A GIFTThese ~ds didn't want to be the best football players in the world, or hit a baseball as far and as fierce as someone like Reggie Jackson or Bobby Bonds. No, their aspirations and dreams didn't quite reach out that far. All these kids wanted to do was to be able to walk and run like any other norma_l human being. But they couldn't. They were stricken with muscular dystrophy_,) AS WE SAT there viewing the Jerry Lewis telethon this past Labor,Day, . and saw some of the small victims of this crippling disease, who will never sprint into the endzone for a game winning touchdown, or score the winning run in a crucial ballgame, we became incensed with the unnatural mixture of pity and madness. The pity that we felt in our hearts was of course for the MD victims, who were watching their muscles wither away like a dying flower, while a cure for this dreaded disease was being sought. The madness? The outlet for our infuriation was a great many of the athletes in today's sports, who waste the God-given talent they possess, and fail to give 100 per cent of themselves when they perform. It is a small portion of the world's population that cap make the claims and boasts of an athlete, and the much larger percentage of "non-athletes" lay mounds of worship on this elite group. They pay to watch them perform, ask for their autographs, and mimic their actions. They form fan clubs in their name, and brag to their friends that they shook such and such's hand. DESPITE ALL THIS, there are a great many athletes today that can't find it within themselves to go all out. They cheat the public, sure. But most of all they cheat themselves. They waste a possession that'75 per cent of the world lacks: verified athletic talent. And when we see this, and then watch a .cute little nine year old struggle to walk ten feet with the aid of iron braces, it makes us sick inside. Our Turn?

For the Commencement activities, . where caps and gowns are worn, it is requested that both men and women wear dark conservative clothing and dark f.hoes.

They may then be picked up at any time prior to the Commencement week. Announcements concerning graduation are available · at the Bookstore. Each graduate is entitled to six announcements, but additional announcements may be pw-chased.

George Pawlish, J.ane Matalavage, Ann Marie Ramonowich, and all students involved did a fine job. It was well planned and organized and that is what makes such an event a success. Such activities are always appreciated and it's too bad we don't have many more like it on campus. THE BEACO" May 8, 1975 _Letter~ T~ The Editor . Sen10r Quest10ns Worth Of Four years· To the Editor: As graduation approaches and I look back at and re-examine the experiences of my four years of study at Wilk~s College, I realize that I have learned an awful lot about many things. One question then arises : was it worth it? I learned much in the field of study I chose and I am grateful for this. Wilkes has some of the best educators in their fields and so is able to provide its students with a quality education - most of the time. There are a few ·professors who know litUe about what they are supposed to teach and they show it. I also learned that economics what matters.

Tomorrow evening's annual Wilkes College athletic banquet in the school cafeteria, will bring down the curtain on another year of athletics at the coll,ege. The festivities will begin with a dinner, and conclude with the presentations of trophies and awards to the athletes by the coaches. It has been quite a year on the athletic scene at the college, with both success and disappointment marking the exploits of 13 inter-collegiate teams. The figures show seven of those thirteen turnini:1: in winning seasons, and three; the football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams winning conference crowns. But there is much more to athletic competition than just winning, and the phrase " either come home carrying your shield in victory, or comt: , home ·on it" is not indicative of the individual athlete at Wilkes, or their respective teams. Athletics has always taken a backseat to academics a the college, and that is certainly how it should be. There are no David Thompson's or Anthony Davis' among the two hundred or more athletic participants, and for the Wilkes College sportsman, life and death does not hinge on his performance on the athletic field. Keeping that in mind, we can see why the personal reward is just as fulfilling to someone like swimmer Dave Kowalek for winning the 200 hundred yard freestyle in a dual meet as it was for Gene Ashley winning a national title. Goals and expectations are set, and when they are reached or surpassed, no matter how big or how small, it makes the hours of sweat and 1>erseverance well worth it. Reflecting on the past year, we can note several examples of the'big and the small, separate in talent, but similar in their pursuits. It began last September on the Ralston Field gridiron. With the rain coming down by the bucketloads, the Wilkes gridders had their high hopes of national recognition washed away by an awesome c.w. Post football U111t, 44-6. Picking themselves up, and drying themselves out, coach Roland Schmidt's team improved with every game, and clinched their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in nearly a half decade on the last day of the season, beating Albright 14-10. It was a season that saw the Colonels often times play only as well as it took to win, but in that Albright contest, with the Colonel defense cracking the Lion "wishbone," the sweat and the bruises payed off. The swim team's goals did not include an MAC title or national recognition. Under the guidance of vibrant head coach Rick Marchant, interest in the sport blossomed at the college, and the future appears bright for a sport that, a year earlier, was a few steps away from extinction . Possessing a spirit and a desire that was second to none; the wins did not surpass the losses, but the pride in their accomplishmel!ts was none the less measurable to that of the MAC champion gridders. There were several near misses in primary goal achievement, as was the case with the wrestlers, who did not win a second straight national title, and the basketball and baseball teams, who did not win the long awaited and hoped for MAC title. But struggle and perseverance along the way reaped personal satisfaction, and a pride; pride in themselves and a pride i,n their team made it all worth while, despite not acnieving that primary goal. So, tomorrow night in · the cafeteria, a few hundred Wilkes College athletes will be paid tribute for their accomplishments over the past year. While athletics may play second fiddle to academics at the school, and no one will probably ever go on to a star-studded professional career, " the pride of being a part" will be felt by everyone of those athletes, when the applause rings through the building. Tomorrow there will be no distinction between the winners and the also rans. Everybody will be recognized as what they t~y are: a Wilkes College athlete. Take a bow.

The student elections seem to lack a certain responsibility . Issues and candidates tend to be vague about things and the rules which govern campus elections, such as those concerning campaigning, are not generally known . This can lead to complications as happened in the recent IDC election. What is worse is the amount of student participation in elections . If you compare the number of el igible voters with the number of actual voters, the results can be shocking . The majority of students just don't bother to vote . This can make an election a farce. A bad candidate could win an election simply by securing a large enough block of voters in his circle of friends . This is especially possible in the elections for lower offices and tha.block needed could be as little as .20 votes. Student Government recently formed an Election and Publicity Committee to better publicize future elections . Perhaps the committee could al so draw up a definite list of election regulations and brief all candidates before campaign ing begins, and any late candidates as well. The students themselves must change the voting habits at Wilkes . Instead of complaining about the people in charge of your organizations , vote for the one you think is best. Man us cript Praised By Barbato Dear Editors, I can only hope that I am in time to extend my gratitude to the Manuscript Society and her various contributors, for this .year's 'Manoscript. It was a haven for some much needed foresight-hindsight-insight on campus. In this age of supertechnology, artistic endeavors seem to get lost in the shuffle.

Decision To the Editor : I would like to point out that the I.D.C. election and any election here after have just been made a farce due to the ruling by Student Government concerning Guy "Pinky" DiZebba. The ruling declared Pink)' ineligible to run for I.D.C. President because of the trivial matter of-putting up signs in the wrong place and manner. Our so-called Student Government representatives must have made up · their minds on how they were going to vote prior to the meeting. During the voting one person approached the chair and admitted that he put up the signs for Pinky without Pinky's knowledge. It was J also pointed _out . that there ~re several fallacies m the campaign , regulations distributed by Student Government. Still Pinky was declared ineligible.

Student Government was planning the concert in cooperation with Fang Productions. It is for this reason that the administration has decided to put its foot down. Dean Baltruchitis presented three arguments against the concert. First,. the administration did not like the idea of a concert being held on campus the weekend 11 before finals. Second, the administration was not prepared to " hack out" financial matters with Fang Productions. Third, the administra-,· tion felt it- necessary to watch the outcome of the upcoming Frankie Valli concert, which is being The Wilkes College Department of promoted by Fang.

Play Production Highlighted By Versatile Acting " Love will conquer all' was the i:nessage conveyed by the cast of "The Canterbury Tales" in an excellent production of that play last weekend. A musical comedy, the play was rich with humor and good music. While the entire cast performed exceptionally well, John Cardoni, Pat Wright and Cathy Roccograndi stole the show. Holding a major role in three of the four tales presented, John Cardoni was most effective in each one. He played the part of an innocent squire, adulterous student, a non-adulterous-but-not-so-innocent student and a young knight with TO JOIN PARENTS-Wilkes freshman Steven DeGroote has a personal equal ease.
