Artie's mother, father and sister have seen every match of his collegiate wrestling career, and watching him walk off that mat a champion Saturday night made all of their tedious traveling worthwhile. For John Chakmakas, his national title was a realization of a dream, but to Wilkes wrestling fans, it was the happiest and probably the biggest surprise of their lives. Before the season began, it was not sure whether John would even be wrestling varsity. But since the season began, when Chak came through with a big win in the Lehigh dual meet, the doubters have become believers. For second place finishers Rick Mahonski, Gene Ashley, and Al Scharer, it meant that they have to work just that much harder to prove_ themselves. , Mahonski has met Elizabethtown's Eric Mast three times this year, including last week's finals and has yet to win. But in the last two, Rick has dominated the match, only to lose because of a few costly mistakes. During the next few years, he has the natural wrestling ability to become one of Wilkes' best ever. His ability, coupled with the fact that he has John Reese as a tutor will make for interesting developments. Gino and Al are confident wrestlers who stand in awe of no one. The two juniors met probably the two best grapplers in the tourney, and you can bet they'll be back again next year, tougher than ever. The voyage to number one took its conductor, namely John Reese 21 years to reach its destination. But the last portion of it, with passengers like the six mentioned and others, namely Lon Balum, Jim Weisenfluh, Joe Grinkevich, and Jeff McDonald, have made the journey well worth the time it took to achieve. ollege Financial Aid Instructions Issued ege Financial Aid Office unced procedures for to follow to renew financial apply for financial aid for · g academic year beginSeptember, 1974. Packets of y forms and instrucnow being assembled in the Aid Office, -Chase Hall, be available to students March 15. It is the ·ty of the student to · packet between March 15 I. Any packets not picked · 1 will be mailed to the borne address. et will contain a Wilkes lication for Renewal of Aid, a multi-use form completed will serve to establish eligibility for a larship Grant, National dent Loan, Supplementional Opportunity Grant the College Work-Study Other programs require application forms, and will below. et will also contain a Confidential Statement for form used by the College the financial data of the student and his family, on which the type and amount of awards are based. When completed, but not later than April 15, the PCS form is to be forwarded to the College Scholarship Service, P.O. Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The CSS will analyze the data submitted, and determine the amount of financial need of each student. For those students already qualified as an independent student, a Student's Financial Statement rather than a Parents' Confidential Statement will be found in the packet. An independent student is one who meets each of the following criteria: The student has not: (a) resided witl1 his parents during the preceding twelve months, and will not reside with his parents during 1974-75. (b) received more than $200 in support from the parents during the preceding year, and will not receive $200 in support from the parents during the 1974-75 year. ( c) been claimed as an exemption for Federal Income Tax purposes by the parents for 1973, and will not be claimed as such a deduction by the parents for 1974. An affidavit of student independence must be completed with each Student Financial Statement. Students interested in exploring the possibility of establishing independence should speak with the Director of Financial Aid. Packets will also be available for those students who are not receiving . aid during 1973-74, but who would like to apply for financial aid from the College in 1974-75. Instead of a renewal application, these packets contain an Initial Application for Financial Aid. Like the renewal form, the initial applicatin may be used to establish eligibility for the College-administered aid programs: Wilkes Scholarship Grants, National Direct Student Loans, Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants, and the College Work-Study Program. A 1974-75 Parents' Confidential Statement is also included in the packet, but may be exchanged for the Student's Financial Statement if the student is determined to be financially independent of his parents•. The application for renewal, gr initial application, must be filed by April 15, along with the appropriate financial statement. Forms filed after April 15 will be considered late, and will be acted on only if funds are available after considering the requests filed before the deadline date of April 15. Priority, then, will be given first to on-time requests before late requests are considered. Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grants Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grants (formerly State Scholarships) renewal applications will be mailed to any student currently receiving a PHEAA grant. Students who were denied assistance for 1973-74 by PHEAA and students who did not file for PHEAA aid for 1973-74 will not receive a renewal application in the mail. PHEAA grant applications for 1974-75 will be available at the College Financial Aid Office for students not already__ on the PHEAA mailing list. All Pennsylvania residents are reminded that two proposals may significantly ease PHEAA eligibibility: the proposed increase in the maximwn grant from $1,200 to $2,000; and the proposed increase in the family income ceiling from $15,000 to $20,000. Consequently, students who were previously denied PHEAA aid because of a lack of need or family income in excess of the ceiling should definitely apply for 1974-75. Actually, there is no reason for any Pennsylvania resident not to apply for this program, since it is a non-repayable grant program, and since there is no charge for filing. Filing address is given on the application itself. Recipients of scholarships or grants from other states shoultl consult with their state scholarship agency to determine renewal and applications procedures for 1974-75. State Guaranty Loans The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania normally mails renewal forms to students who are currently receiving Pennsylvania State Loans. Students who do not receive a new application, and students from other states should obtain an application form from their home-town bank or savings-and-loan association. Students are reminded that a Parents' Confidential Statement (or SFS for independent students) must be filed before the Financial Aid Office may process any state loan application.

Dr. Francis Michelini recently announced proposed plans for demolition of some campus buildings. He expressed the hope that some of these cleared areas will be used for parking lots. However, all plans are ' only tentative at this time. · Eight to 10 buildings are involved in the planned demolition which is scheduled to take place this summer. The summer was chosen so that the danger involved would be minimized. Buildings involved inelude Miner, Doan, and former Pickering Hall and other presently vacant and near vacant structures. Michelini hopes that in co-operation with the Commuter Council they can work out some solution to the parking problems. He hopes that the car pool idea will be workable on campus and that students would also take advantage of the public transport<ltion system. There is also a possibility of construction of tennis courts near the gym area. This would save students the inconvenience of traveling to Kirby Park. However, construction of the courts also will depend on the costs involved. 1111111111111111111111111111111111 Ill 1111111111111111111111111 Ill 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 �Page 2 THE BEACON IDC To F ete Colonel Wrestle Editorially Speaking Wilkes-Barre- home of Wilkes College- is the safest Pennsylvania community with over 50,000 population in which to live. Nearby Scranton was the 60th safest city to live in of the nation's 393 communities with over 50,000 population in 1970 and 1971, according to book, "America's 50 Safest Cities," by David Franke. Franke's book was published this year, but FBI statistics on which it is based are from the years 1970 and 1971. The book lists Lakewood, Ohio, as the nation's safest city and Compton, Calif., as the nation's most dangerous city. Wilkes- Barre is listed 26th among the 50 safest cities nationally. According to Franke, a well-known journalist, who has contributed articles to many periodica Is, the safest cities were determined, by considering the number of each of seven categories of crime per each 100,000 population. In addition to murder, which includes "non-negligent manslaughter," other categories of crime considered are: Forcible rape, including attempted rape; robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny The Inter-dormitory CoW1cil will hold a dinner and reception to honor the wrestling team at the end of the wrestling season. The event was approved al the IDC meeting held Sunday evening in the Commons. The IDC activities committee is responsible for planning. The committee working on the Freshman Booklet needs suggestions and a caroonist. The booklet envisioned by IDC President, Lee .\ uerbach, will serve as a freshmen survival guide to Wilkes-Barre and a and auto theft. Wilkes- Barre's statistics for the two years are: robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,_ larceny and auto theft. Wilkes- Barre's statistics for the two years are: murder, zero and one; rapes, two and three; robberies, six and 19; aggravated assaults, 19 and two; burglaries, 229 and 246; larcenies, 350 and 532; auto thefts, 179 and 193. The book states that Scranton had five murders in 1970 and one in 1971. Other crimes committed du_ring 1970 and 1971 in that city are: rapes, six and seven, respectively; robbery, 25 and 68; aggravated assaults, 129 and 144; burglaries, 604 and 795; larcenies, 595 and 770, and auto thefts, 381 and 452.

Puring the most recent debate, the Chamber of Congress of the United States maintained that a boost in the minimum wage of $1.60 to $2.20 an hour, or 38 per cent, was too sharp and would minimize job opportunities for young people and marginal workers. It cited statistics to show that jobless rates for these groups rose when the minimum pay standards across the country were . raised. I Die-hard advicates of minimum wage laws in Congress and leaders of organized labor professed not to understand the economics of the National Chamber's position. How could raising minimum pay lead to unemployment for people in low-cost jobs? Quite simply, by pricing them out of the market for low-cost labor, as illustrated by a magazine advertisement of a manufacturer promoting sale of automated equipment for radio stations under the headline: "Looking for someoneto work for 47 cents an hour?" "Your station costs are bound to increase because of the proposed $2.20 minimum wage," the ad read. "Why pay more?" Cost of the equipment, the reader learned, averaged 47 cents an hour. Readers also were reminded that the equipment, which h~dles a number of on-air functions, "never needs vacations, social security, hospitalization or raises." Who says higher wages can't hurt some people's chances of getting or keeping a job?

" Why don 't our relationships with each other mean as much as our relationships with men?" Having recently visited another college where the female students are a cohesive communicating segment of the student body, we recognize the . po~ntial fo_r such an atmosphere at Wilkes. While there seems to be plenty of mte_r~ct10n among w?men_ ?n campus,. too much o_f it appears to be superficial. The _woman-identifie? wom~n is a rar~ an1?1al.

The lack o_f ~omen 's act1V1bes is painful~y- obvious, but it i~ not our purpose at this t1me to attack the college's policies. We have a decided need to ~evelop an aca_demic background_in women's studies, but at _a more b~si~ level there i~ a need for a sohd bond between us. Som~thmg ~hat ehmmates the cattmess and cuts the unhealthy edge off competmg agamst each other. There is quite a bit of energy that remains uncharinelled and eventually disipates for lack of direction. Women have taken the first steps academically by the insistance of the inclusion of feminist courses in the curriculum. It is time to include more wo~en s~udents in o~r lives. It is time to develop any feelings of solidarity which might be looking for a place to go. It is our suggestion that women at Wilkes College examine their capabilities and decide exactly "where we're at" and where we want to be. It is for this reason that we propose the formation of a women's coalition or union, not rigidly structured, but aimed at providing an outlet for the women here. The union could provide opportunities for women to meet, discover what they have in common, to really get to know one another. This in turn could lead to C-R groups ( consciousness-raising), politically oriented groups, and any other activities of interest to women.

In order for a woman to get through college and to enter into graduate school, she had to have an enormous amount of determination. Now, the situation is quite different. It's much easier to find professors you can work with and who will help you. This has. been aided by the construction of the Aff' ti A t' p gr m 11:ma Ve C 100 ro a • · The second reason I related to employment. An incident also occured when I received my doctorate. The standard practice was to obtain a job through the influence of the Department Chairman or other faculty acquaintances . In my experience I never enjoyed this benefit anytime. I always landed my jobs through my own determination. We must also look at the other side of the issue. There are many women ·who defeat themselves. By this, I'm referring to women who find other areas of interest and forsake their roles as professionals for the roles of housewife and--0r mother. A woman can execute all three roles effectively if she trys hard enough and has supportive cooperation from her husband and family. I'm anxious to see how the so-called "Cooperative Professional Marriages" are going to work out. It's not easy to have children and be both a professional and a good parent. Both parents have _to be willing to help with housework and enemies and we work against each .other as a result of this cultural syndrome. Question: How can women function effectively as both mother and professional? Dr. Driscoll: There are two solutions to this question: First;. child-care centers should be established, charging only a nominal fee. Wayne University, in Detroit, has day care facilities for faculty, staff and students. The program also serves a dual purpose. It provides needed child-care and also allows education majors an opportunity to complete their required field training. Secondly, society must recognize the fact · that parenthood is an important social function. I believe society should subsidize the family for both males and females. Both young men and women should not be expected to be full-time careerists during certain years. Ideally, we should consider the first several years in one's job as a sort of apprenticeship. Evaluation and promotion would not start until the individual is ready to work full-time. This would permit both parents to handle the responsibilities of child-rearing and housework equally. Both could then continue their career on a full-time basis. I realize this ideal is far off. There is a way women can try to retain their professional standing while fulfilling the maternal role as well. have helped draw women profession.

The Beacon would like to extend its congratulations to the basketball and wrestling teams for their fine showing this past winter. All the hard work will culminate in the next couple of weeks with the wrestlers preparing for Division 111 Nationals here this weekend and the cagers traveling to Albrig~t to compete in the MAC's. For the basketballers, a post-season tournament is almost a "sure thing." However, no matter what happens i,n these post-season tourneys, both mentioned sports can be damn proud of what they have accomplished this season. Again, good luck and thanks for a superb winter of sports. Are We Huinan? We are beginning to wonder if a newspaperman is human. It seems that in many people's opinion, members of this profession, once they walk into a newspaper office, are no longer mistake-prone, no longer have the ability to make,, an error, no longer are human. Well, people, believe it or not! we still put our pants on the same way as everyone else. Though we try our best to cut down on mistakes, they still happen to us, as we are sure they do to you. Again, we try to minimize our mistakes, ] because we dislike making them as much as you do reading them, but let's not forget that they are inevitable. And, finally, before you decide to have a protest march against newspapermen, ask yourself, "How many mistakes did I make today?" The only difference between your error and ours is that one, 10 or maybe even 20 people know of your mistake, while over 2,500 readers know about ours! Raspen Clarifies Grant Program Urges Passage of Senate Aid Bill Many thanks to Sandy Akromas and the "Beacon" for the recent article on financial aid. One point in the article, however, needs clarification. Two proposals relating to Pennsylvania State Grants are now being considered. The first, as stated in the article, would increase the maximum grant to as much as $2,000 per year. The second proposal would raise the family income limitation from $15,000 to $20,000 per year. Now the next sentence in the article beginning, " If either one happens," makes sense. This correction is most imp9rtant, because students who were previously rejected under the PHEAA program because of this limitation should now be encouraged• to file a new application for 1974-75. practice.

They are criminals. They have committed crimes and their prison sentence is punishment for their crimes. Many convicts, as a result of their prison stay have straightened out and are looking for a new life once they get out. It is hard for them to get a new life since many employers are hesitant in hiring ex-cons. However, a step in the right direction in helping an ex-convict seek a rewarding life after prison was instituted by North Texas State University when they hired an ex prisoner to teach poetry on the University level. B.F . Maiz, an inmate at the F ederal Correctional Institution in Fort Worth, Texas, is 51 years old and he has spent seven years behind bars. He is also an unpublished poet. On March 1, he will be an official spokesman for 14,500 students and a member of the staff of North Texas State University, the fifth-largest university in Texas. In an unusual move, the president of North Texas State, C.C. Nolen, has convinced his board of trustees that Mr. Maiz become the principal element of a major experiment aimed at breaking the cycle of crime and promoting the rehabilitation of convicts to useful roles in society. When he is released later this month, Mr. Maiz, who has attended four universities with extensive studies in philosophy and literature at Kansas State University, will move into a totally new role.· "We believe Mr. Maiz is exceptionally qualified for our experiment," says President Nolen, noting that the idea of hiring an ex-convict has been well received by faculty and students at the university, "He relates well with all types of people and seems to be able to communicate through his poetry." The university president said, " We believe he can tell the university the needs of the students, particularly minority students. About 12 per cent of our student population is made up of representatives from minority groups." Mr. Maiz is black. Another area in which the volumes of verse will be used is the counseling of students away f,rom drug abuse. His time in prison here and at Leavenworth - has resulted from violations of the United States Drug Control Act of 1958. Finally, Mr. Nolen hopes that the new member of his staff will assist the university in assembling a task force on rehabilitation "that can really change the cycle of crime." " The whole thing is an experiment, and a university is the place for experimentation," the school's president said. " I feel Mr. Maiz is a talented and gifted man. What's more, he is the No. 1 example of what can happen with successful rehabilitation." Warden Charles Campbell of the correctional facility, where male and female Federal prisoners are housed in a single prison complex and residents are treated as individuals rather than as uniformed and numbered convicts, says he believes Mr. Maiz "may be a major literary talent. " "But this is not why I endorsed him for the university job," the warden said. • "The man has made positive behavioral changes," Mr. Campbell said. "He has changed as a man and has been extremely helpful in working with other residents. "We have found him completely trustworthy and we-sincer.ely hope the university experiment will be a 100 per cent success." field trips and going to opera Air fares are booked on the 22-45 performances will increase students day excursion fare which allows perception and appreciation of this students to stay on as long as they great Italian art form, although wish after the courses up to a period opera from France, Germany and of 45 days .. · Free brochures are R~ia will be studied as _wll. -avilable by writing STUDY IN Attendance at rehearsals will be ROME PROGRAMS, P.O.

Anthony ( 1820-1906) were the two women most closely associated with the women's rights movement in the 19th century. Besides being very close friends, they were also founders of equal-rights and suffrage associations, organizers of annual conventions and co-editors of the first three volumes of the History An increasingly growing problem on the Wilkes c~pus . and on campuses across the country, is the need for adequate _security. Wllkes has perhaps one of the worst systems possible. Our security amounts to a ~ew older men walking around the campus, some fearing any confrontation. And even though thedoors to the wo_men's dorr~s a;e always locked, _there still seems to be evidence of break-ms. Even Ki~g s College has a ~h~htly better system, consisting of a call-up reqwrement for all visitors, admittedly highly impractical in our women's dorms. But they _also have a 24-hour switchboard. Our switchboard closes at 5 p.m. So there is no school line open at all times for emergencies. . . It has come to our attention that there been many mcidents over th_e past couple of years such as the regularity of obscene phone calls m the women's dorm, ~trange men breaking into women's d?:ms, frequent cases of men exposing themselves to Wilkes women. In addition to the numerous rape cases in Northeastern Pennsylvania recently, there have been women attacked right here on campus. · , . We would like to offer some suggestions to improve t~e security on campus and institute a feeling of confidence and well-bemg among the women ~t Wilkes. 1) First, we need a 24 hour switchboard or an emergency number to call connected with the school. 2) Students should be employed extensively for security. Tnere are men and women younger and_ str?ng~r than the older men who are presently employed here. 3) Bet~r hghtmg is needed between buildings, and pressure must be put on the city for more adequate lighting. 4) There are possibilities for an escort system, p~es~ntly being used successfully on other campuses. 5) We should mstltute educational programs geared to informing both w~men a_nd men how to react effectively to attacks, and the subsequent police action to be taken. 6. A rape crisis center is needed on a 24 hour basis. We pr~sently are institllting a Women's Referral Center for all problems concerning women, but are limited severely in staff, facilities and time. A school sponsored center would be ideal. 7) A campaign should be organized for "safe houses" around campus and the city wher e frightened students can take . of Women's Suttrage. refuge. 8) Lastly, and most importantly, there is a need _for courses_ in In 1869 Elizabeth described how self-defense, free of charge and connected with the Physical Education they complimented one another Department.

Perhaps the most important advise we can offer to the students at Here is one of the best examples of Wilkes, especially the women, is to report any and all crimes, ha:assme_nt, Elizabeth's independence of mind attacks, indecent exposures.

Among her prescriptions for a healthy womanhood she wrote this in 1859 in a letter to a friend: "I think if women would indulge more freely in vituperation, they would enjoy ten times the health they do. It seems to me they are suffering from repression." Here is an excerpt from Elizabeth c.· Stanton's diary, written in 1890 when she was 75 years old. "Our trouble is not our womanhood, but the· artificial trammels of custom under false conditions. We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men, and if we were free and developed, healthy in body and mind, as we should be under natural conditions, our motherhood would be our glory. That ,function gives women such wisdom and power as no male ever can possess. When women can support themselves, have their entry to all the trades and professions, w1th a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm."

After blowing everyone of their MAC opponents right off the mat last weekend at the conference tourney, the Wilkes College grapplers are now prepared for the big move; the march for the NCAA Division III crown. This is possibly one of the best Wilkes 'wrestling squads in the school's history, but fighting off the likes of Montclair St., and Ashland will be by no means an easy task. A blend of experience, young talent, and the will to win has enabled Coach Reese's grapplers to attain the success that they presently have. But the squad will not have entirely quenched their victory thirst until that team title is in their hand's on Saturday night. Not enough can ever by said about 134- JOHN CHAMAKAS 126 - LON BAL UM 167 · JIM WEISENFLUH the fantastic job that freshmen Rick Mahonski, and Lon Balum have done in this, their first year of collegiate competition. After being pulverized earlier this season by Elizabethtown's Eric Mast in a dual meet, M_ahonski came back last weekend to completely out-wrestle Mast in the MAC semi-finals for seven and a half minutes, before succumbing to him in the final seconds. One wrong move separated Rick from his first conference title. He learned a great deal from that defeat, and it's going' to be rough stopping him in this weekend's nationals; especially before the home crowd.

ARTIE IN ACTION -Artie Trovei has really come on after a fe~; ~e~rly -season injuries and 1s all set for tomorrow's national tourney. He has only lost three times in fifteen bouts this - season, and closed out his grappling exploits with a 41-6-3 career tally. The'73-'74 Season At A Glance The 1973-74 wrestling season will indeed be one to remember here at Wilkes. Encountering one of the toughest grappling schedules in the country, the Colonels have felt both the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat. The season began down in 'Lehigh's Grace Hall; known to many as "the pit." The Colonels had the tools to take home the victory, , but nonethetess, Lehigh prevailed 22-15. Perhaps it was the pressure of wrestling in the pit, or just early season inexperience; whatever it was, it put the Colonels on the losing side of the fence - something they don't like to see happen. After Lehigh the Wilkesmen emitted their anxieties on York College, and Western , Maryland winning by whopping scores of 36-0 and 53-0. Traveling up the road a few days later, the Colonels had a very tough time with Binghamton State, before pulling it out 22-18. The narrow victory gave the locals a 3-1 dual log but there was a few sticks of dynamile ahead. The first explosive was the Naval Academy. With a few · of ' their g1applers hampered by injury and Gene Ashley not even making the trip, Navy squeaked through for a 21-17 victory. After finishing second to Clarion State in the Wilkes Open tourney, Coach Reese's charges prepared to do battle with the touring Oklahoma Sooners, who were rated sixth in the nation in the University-division. After taking a short-lived 9-3 lead, Wilkes saw its glimmer of hope disappear, as the Mid-Westerners took the last seven matches. Despite losing 31-9, many of the bouts •were close, and Gene Ashley very nearly pinned last year's third place finisher in the NCAA Universitydivision tourney, Rod Kilgore. The Oklahoma coach commented later on, that the Wilkes match was the toughest one on the entire Eastern tour for his squad. . The Blue and Gold traveled up to Syracuse for a quadrangular meet a week later, and most observers expected three easy victories for the locals. But Syracuse refused to quit and handed Coach Reese his fourth defeat of the campaign, 24-12. After sweeping through three easy victories, the Wilkesmen hosted college-division powerhouse North Dakota State at the Franklin St. gym, and were saddled with a painful 21-18 loss. Bison victories over Mike Lee and Jim Weisenfluh were the major reasons for the defeat. The Colonels closed out their dual season by winning their last five matches including a 26-10 victory over Division III rival Montclair St. These wins pushed the Blue and Gold season record to 13-5, with the next step being the MAC to.urnament at Delaware Valley College.

With matmen traveling from over 80 NCAA member school:: throughout the nation, the action should prove to be fast and furious and the talent nothing less then superb, After completely dominating last weekend's MAC tourney, and coming up with eight individual titlists, Wilkes is a heavy favorite to climax their season with a national crown. Leading the list of possible placewinners is Blue and Gold Co-Captains, Art Trovei (142), and Mike Lee (150). Artie finished fifth in last year's college-division nationals, and is a good bet to win it all this year at 142. · . As a sophomore, two years ago Lee placed third in the national event, losing out in the semi-finals to Mr. Evervthing, Wade Schalles of Clarion State. Mike has had some rough going this year, encountering some of the best grapplers in the nation at his weight class, but his third consecutive MAC crown last week could have been an indication of what is to come this week. A few of the other Colonel wrestlers who have the talent to walk away with titles are Rick Mahonski (118), Lon Balum (126), John Chakmakas (134), Gene Ashley (158), Jim Weisenfluh (167), Jeff McDonald (177), and Al Sharer (Hwt.). Despite being beaten by Wilkes in a dual meet, 26-10, earlier . this season, Montclair will give the locals all they can handle. Possessing some outstanding performers who can take home some gold, Coach Larry Sciacchetano's squad can really make it tough for their opposition in the tourney. Most of Montclair's title strength will come in the first four weight classes. Ed Alber (118), Nabel Guketlov ( 136), Craig Spencer ( 134), and Larry Hayspell (142) are all Metropolitan Conference champions and possess a great deal of talent and experience. Guketlov will most likely be the number one seed in the 126-pound weight class and is presently sporting an undefeated dual log. In addition to this, he also is an individual winner in this season's East Stroudsburg State College wrestling tourney, which draws some of the best talent in the nation. Spencer, along with Chakmakas of Wilkes, will be two of the pre-tourney favorites at ' 134.

Sophomores Barbara Long and Diane Jones added 13 and 10 points respectively, while captain Ann Tracey contributed 9. Freshman Dotty Martin chipped in 6 to add to her team's scoring. Tracey and Jones led the defense, combining for 25 rebounds. The Colonelettes capitalized on excellent foul shooting to gain their win since both teams scored 20 field goals in the contest. The Wilkes women made 15 foul shots in 24 attempts while their opponents only shot 4 for 15. Although the Colonelettes average 17 .2 team fouls per game, no one was on the bench with their allotment of fouls this time. O'Boyle and Lopez led Marywood's scoring with 12 points apiece. The remainder of the season looks bright for the Colonelettes and they will have a chance to prove themselves Monday night at 7:00 when they play hosts to Keystone Junior College at the Franklin Street gym, and again on Wednesday night when they 'travel to Misericordia in Dallas for a 6:30 game. The Misericordia team only beat the Colonelettes by two the first time around, and the Wilkes girls have a good shot at a victory this time. Friday's victory was the first time that the Colonelettes had beaten the Marywood girls since 1968.

Solzhenitsyn Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two rights which we as Americans have enjoyed for almost two hundred years. At times we may not have used them to their full extent, but they have been our legal rights. Early American patriots saw to that when they added the first amendment to the Constitution in 1791 . 1D-C Described As Anemi By Advisor Steve Plack.o Steve Placko, advisor to InterDormitory Council, recently described the group as "anemic. " The remark referred to a recurrent lack of motivati6n among IDC representatives. One example occurred a week earlier when IDC representatives were requested to find out if their dorms were interested in a skit night. About eight women's dorms indicated an interest. Those eight representatives were the only ones who even asked. Also it was a men's dorm that won the contest last semester. Placko requested that future IDC meetings be held bi-monthly. A contest to name the mural in the Pickering Hall lobby is being conducted by me. The contest· ends tomorrow. Place your name choice and student number on an index card and place the card in the ballot box. The me visitation committee meets today at 11 in the lobby of Pickering Hall. Results of the visitation survey are tabulated and should be available next week. Applications for concession stands for use during the Cherry Blossom Festival May 3-5 are available. Those obtaining stands from Calmar will receive them on a first come first served basis. An arts and crafts display at the Stark Learning Center will be held during the festival weekend. Also planned is a flea market featuring handmade and homemade articles. Those interested in participating are asked to contact IDC representative Tom Trost soon.

Those not wishing to eal products may have a diffend prepared whenever only products are served as main in the college cafeteria. Unfortunately the same can not be said for many people in this world since there are numerous governments which deny their citizens these freedoms. The government of the Soviet Union is one of these. The Soviet government has repeatedly taken action against those who exercise their minds freely and produce literary Vl(Orks which the government considers to be subversive. These "subversive" works can be anything from poetry which does not follow party line to a novel which openly condemns the Soviet system. The Soviet government recently acted against one man who da~ed to exercise freedom of speech. Alexander, Solzhenitsyn is a Russian who is proud to be a Russian. He makes no secret of the fact that he is opposed to the tyrannical suppression of freedom in the Soviet Union. He has written several works condemning the Soviet prison camps, the most recent of which is THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO--1918-56 .. Alexander Solzhenitsyn loves his homeland and he did not want to leave it. He wanted to stay and work on the conscience of his people and so perhaps act as a stimulus for change. The Soviet government does not like to be criticized and it acted to silence him many times. He spent time in prison because of his works and the authorities still could not silence him. Public opinion was strong in favor of Solzhenitsyn so the Soviet authorities could not permanently silence him. ' Last week they found a solution for their problem. They stripped Alexander Solzhenitsyn of his Soviet citizenship and permanently exiled him. He can never return to his homeland. In this way the Soviet government perhaps wishes to break his spirit and silence him. He can no longer legally be considered a Russian and so the Soviet government hopes to discredit him. How can a non-Russian possibly write about political truths within the Soviet Union?

The actions of the Soviet government are unfair - and tyrannical, an open denial of human rights. Those of us who believe in and love freedom should be resolute in our condemnation of these actions and must work to use our own government's influences to try and lessen the oppression which afflicts the citizens of many nations. In this period of detente, our gqvernment should try to use its influence to gain more freedom for others.

Page 4 Feminist Course ME N On::.~:o~~=~•-• Notes From Dikaia \ False Conclusions DraWn From Equal Rights Amendment Shor_tly, in the Pennsylvania State Legislature, a vote will be takep on the p~tential 27th amendment to the United States Constitution: the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). As of this printing, thirty-five states have ratified it and only five more are needed to complete the process. Of the states that have voted against ERA, the reasons for rejection were completely ~believeable. In Oklahoma, it was stated that the purpose of women's existence was to ease the suffering of men. Other similar religious ~nd biblical references were made. Needless to say, Oklahoma voted against ERA. In Georgia quite recently, the legislature discussed the dangers of ERA and linked woman's power to Eve tempting Adam with the apple. Georgia too voted against ERA. . T~is is no joke, it_is really happening and there is a strong possibility that 1! will happen here in Pennsylvania. There are national groups organized to fight ERA, groups headed by .women such as Phxllis Schlafly who heads S~OP ERA, and HO'I'.DOG (Humanitarians Opposed to Degrading Our Girls). These groups, in a~dition to many right wing extremist groups, such as The John Birch Society, the KKK, and the Communist Party on the Left, are systematically spending a fortune to defeat this important legislation. The central idea in the ERA is that " ... equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The amendment concerns both sexes as stated in the pro_Posed dr~ft and this is what scares Schlafly and her followers ... They cla!1:1·_fallac10usly that men and women will have to share public toilet facilities, that mothers with babes in arms will be wisked off to war and that women will lose their right to support from their husbands. First ~fall it is absolutely stupid, yes, I must say stupid, to believe the lies about los~ of privacy and the sharing of the public rest rooms. The right to privacy in the home and elsewhere is provided for in the law. Secondly, while it is true that women will be eligible for the draft (which no longer is in effect), it is also true that women were always eligible, and towards the end of World War II, Congress passed legislation to draft wotnen but Truman didn't sign it because the end of war was eminent. But as fo; the emotion ridden claim of mothers being taken from their children this is ridiculous because just as there were exemptions for fathers, so w~uld there be for mothers. At any rate, the question is academic since there is no draft anyway. There are other charges too, equally false, from the virtual legalization o~ rape to the nullifi~ation of the other civil rights laws. Mrs. Schlafly also did ~e Arme~ S:rv1ces a great disservice recently, using her usual scare tactics, by claiming that women aboard the ships and in the service of their co1;1ntry were attempting to seduce the husbands of the women left at home. It 1s really unfortunate to see a woman perpetuate the false myths about women that have plagued us for centuries. Schlafly is degrading the women she claims she is protecting. On the whole, the arguments used by the Schlaflys, who are uncomfortably closely tied, in ideology and financial arrangements t? th~ John Birch So~iety; are false, deliberately misleading and often contain misquoted material. This "war" that is being waged is a crude attempt to ~eep rich white women, like Mrs. Schlafly, up on their pedestals and the rest of womankind under the thumbs of the legislators husbands, and over zealous women, like Schlafly herself. ' There are some facts that Pennsylvanians should now consider before al~owing the legislators to be swayed by the war tactics of the Schlaflys of this ~orld. The J<;RA will not interfere in any way whatsoever with private manta! arrangements. It is true there would be reciprocal rights of support between husbands and wives in divorce cases etc. But Pennsylvania is one of the states that has already passed such laws and already has reciprgcal rights of support. , ' ERA will however, recognize the homemaker's status and value as housekeeper, child-raiser, chauffeur, etc, and will require state laws to do the ~me. This ~ill entitle a homemaker to financial support because of her sery1ces, and will strengthen the dignity of the homemaker. The list of false · claims by Schlafly•as opposed to the truth, is endless. What is impor.tant is that women and men must prevent in Pennsylvania what happened in Oklaho1:1a and Georgia. We must begin to encourage our State Legislature to vote in ERA. Reputable groups such as The League of Women Voters Th: National Coalition of Catholic Nuns, Women's Christian Temperanc~ 'Umon, and The N_ational Organization of Women, support ERA, and many of them work actively to promote its ratification as the 27th amendment But it i~ fo~ us_too, t~e pri~ate ~itizen, to do the same, whether it is actually campaig~ing in con1uncti?n with one of the larger organizations, or writing ~ our legislators, or starting a movement here on the Wilkes campus. Only five states are needed to ratify the amendment. We should make Pennsylvania one of those who determined this ratification and aided positively to the liberation of women.

A majority of the Wilkes faculty qiembers attended, along with several student observers. After the buzzing, typical of a normal classroom, had settled and opening statements had been made by Dr. Mike and Dean Capin, the items on the agenda were discussed. The second item concerned the acceptance into the cirriculum of a new course in the foreign language department. The course is French 261-Feminine Perspectives in French Literature. Dr. Riley, head of the curriculum committee, led the proceedings concerning its approval. Before a vote was taken, there were questions concerning its classification as a French course since all reading material is in English. Several reasons were given as to why the course should be listed under the French heading yet to be conducted in English. Very little emphasis has been given in courses at Wilkes to the writings of women , to their treatment in literature, or to a woman 's perspective toward literature in particular. This course offers an opportunity for those students interested in such topics to pursue their interests regardless of whether or not they be French majors. French literature abounds with material pertinent to this study. The writings of great French authors, both men and women, form the basis for this course. A foreign language department teaches not only language but literature as well. Since the class is conducted in English, French majors are not given credit for the course toward their majors, whereas other non-majors wil be given credit not, however, as a substitute for foreign language requirements. An oral vote was taken, but due to the fact that several obviously male faculty members voiced emphatic opposition, the decision was confused. A second oral vote was taken with the same results. Majority approval was indicated by a hand count which revealed approximately 10 negative votes, far fewer than indicated by the intensity of the oral vote. The Wilkes College Bulletin will list a new French course - French 261, Feminine Perspectives in French Literature as follows: "French reading in translation exploring woman's situation in a male dominated society.

Swimmers End Season On Saturday The · Wilkes College swim team will close out its 1973-74 season this Saturday afternoon at the WilkesBarre Aquadome, when it entertains defending Middle Atlantic Conference champions, Elizabethtown College at 2 p.m. Despite a poor 2-8 season, a number of Coach Joe Shaughnessy's mermen have performed well above their pre-season expectations. Former Meyers High School standout, Joe Abate has come through with 13 first place finishes in the diving events this year, and has an excellent chance to place in the upcoming MAC tournament.

Lee has an 11-5-1 dual meet record going into the tourney, while Sharer is 13-5. Coach Reese is very optimistic about his team's prospects in the MAC's, and at next week's national showdown as well. Wrestling against institutions like Army, ·Oklahoma, North • Dakota State, Syracuse, Lehigh, and Navy has helped everyone of the Colonel grapplers, and the silverware they could bring home during the next two weeks seems infinite. A great deal of fine wrestling is expected at the MAC tourney, and a breakdown of the individual weight classes looks like this. Two freshmen should dominate the 118-pound class, with only one of last year's top four place winners returning. Ron Pucillo of Johns Hopkins finished fourth in the tourney last annum, but the grappler to beat will be Elizabethtown's Eric Mast, who has looked excellent in his first year of competition. . The third member to look for m the lightweight contest is Wilkes' own Rick Mahonski. Mast punished Mahonski when the two met in a recent dual meet, beating him soundly 20-4. But Rick has made a turn-around since then, and a return engagement may prove quite interesting. Another Colonel frosh, Lonny Balum could be a runaway in the 126-pound weight class. Bruce Sensinig of Elizabethtown finished second to last year's "Most f th l " Outstanding Wrest er o e tourney, Bobby Roberts, b.ut he has been operating out of the 134-pound class and it is doubtful whether he can make the switch to the lighter weight. Balum's top contenders should be Moravian's Scott Shell, Elizabethtown's Gary Heim, and Delaware Valley's Steve Smith. Balum obliterated Heim earlier this season, 13-3, while Sqell managed to eak out a 4-3 decision over Heim. So look for Balum and Shell to be pitted against each other on Saturday night. The 134-pound weight class could very well be the most talented bracket in the tournament. Again a Colonel wrestler has got to be considered the favorite, with John Chakmakas a slight favoritie oyer last year's champion, Jim Gaydos of Muhlenberg, Gary Felthousen of Lycoming, who was third at 134 last year, and Sensinig, if he competes at this weight. Another grappler who could be a sleeper is Johns Hopkins' Clark Kingery, who finished fourth in the MAC tourney a year ago. Barring any injuries or upsets, Artie Trovei seems to have an excellent opportunity at bringing home another first for Coach his back in the early Reese's squad at 142. Artie won the Colonel sophomore may first MAC crown. title at 134 two years ago, but he was beaten in the finals last annum. Mild opposition should come from Don Rife of E-town, Tom Yates of Western Maryland, and Delaware Valley's Rich Homan. Trovei easily beat ·a11 three in dual meets this season. Mike Lee is back to defend his title at 150 pounds, and a lot of fine grappling is expected at this weight class also. Lee's chief opposition in this middleweight will be Swathmore's Cabbot Christianson, who lost to Mike in last year's finals. Another grappler who could make it tough for the two favorites is 1.loyd Ritter, who placed third last year but was decisioned quite competently by Lee Another pair of earlier this season, 11-4.

The calculated amount for the students with the the present year stands at about $330,000 for Wilkes students who borrow under the program. Raspen hopes to operate on the same level next year even though more institutions are including NDSL in their respective aid packages, and consequently applying for a share of the available federal dollars. Also under the Federal Program is the supplementary EOG, which - carries roughly $180,000 in its funding. This projected total may operate on the approximate amount for the 74-75 academic year. "The Work Study Program is_one of the federal administration's b_e tter liked programs," Raspen acknowledged. "It was given favorable attention by President Nixon, who would like to eliminate the NDSL and EOG as college based programs, and replace them with the Basic Grant and Insured Loan Programs." Generally, Wilkes students have had little trouble in getting state loans; the banks are very willing to make them. They assist parents in meeting their contribution for tuition expenses. But state loans, though easier to receive, have a seven per cent interest tag, whereas the NSDL requires only .three per cent per year, beginning in both programs, about a year after a graduation or withdrawal. Students who live in Pennsylvania may even be eligible for more money from the state government. '' Proposals are now being discussed to increase the Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grant as much as $2,000," asserted the director. "If either one happens, more money• to the students, and if both happens, it will even be better in that some students disqualified from the present program may be ew Progrf!"!!' Offered College now offers an te program leading to or of Arts Degree in Studies. This coopera. istered curriculum of ·cs, history, political ml sociology departments students with a wider and hensive background in s than is available in any 1 discipline. From a point of view, it opens up tunities in such diverse the foreign service, other ta! or inter-governmeninternational business, al finance, teaching and affords the student an foundation for graduate y different areas. ced program furnishes I with a minimum of five courses or fifteen hours of work in each of the cooperating departments. This meani, that the graduate will have been exposed to such diverse and valuable subjects as international trade, world geography, comparative economic systems, the history of the United States foreign policy, the history of modern Russia, and the history of Latin America. Also included in the program are: International law, comparative government, international organization, peoples and cultures of the world, the sociology of minorities and other similar fields. One of the merits of the program is that it can be organized and administered without afly change in existing departmental structure. In other words, we will merely have a better and more coordinated use of our present staff and present course offerings. Another attractive feature in this program is an inter-departmental seminar in both the seventh and eighth semester. The purpose is to bring together the students and the faculty from each of the four departments, arid to serve as a culmination for the program. In the future, a semester or two of study abroad may be adapted into the program. The degree program is a balanced one in a sense that each of the four departments participates to an equal degree. This represents the kind of cooperative inter-departmental program that the college has long been advocating. It is also believed that this program will attra ct additional students to Wilkes. George Elliot, a member of the economics department and a pioneer in the development of the International Studies Program, considers it to be quite an attractive and beneficiai undergraduate program that offers numerous opportunities in many fields.

In concluding his outlook in the financial aid field, Raspen noted, "Next year is probably one of the more optimistic years for financial aid as far as availability of aid funds. "We will still operate with the Need Analysis System ( determines the family's financial need) but also taking in consideration the effects of inflation (rising fuel and living e~penses) on the average family. We realize they may not be able to meet their expected contribution · toward the educational expenses. When this occurs, however, the student and family may rely on the State Loan Program, which can provide enough money for the parental contribution.''

We sat down today and asked ourself, "Could this country be in any worse shape and still exist?" And to our amazement we answered, "We're not sure!" We are on the perimeter of being "gasless" in a country where everybody has one, if not two, if not three, automobiles. This doesn't even take into consideration that fuel is needed for trading, marketing, etc. We are in the teeth of an energy crisis, one which Stewart Udall, former secretary of the Interior, calls "one that will last 10 to 15 years.''

About A Few Million Tons Of American Wheat In One Man's Opinion by Rich Colandrea An Encouraging Site The advent of the new Student Union Center not only displays a relaxing and attractive atmosphere to dorm and commuter students, but is a positive sign of hard work and effort to add to the facilities of Wilkes College. , A Student Center has been needed for a long time on this campus, and finally this year it has opened. Through Student Government funds and volunteers, the once dry, hollow lecture hall is now a carpeted, furnished and acoustical room: Now the students have a place to meet, study, socialize and hopefully listen to stereo music instead of the cramped Commons. Everyone involved with the opening of the building should be commended as many hours of hard work and aggravation were used to complete th~ building. It is hopeful that the students will utilize this building and form new ideas to improve the center. This center symbolizes hours of dedicated effort to improve campus life. It only shows that if enough are willing and able to put a new idea into effect, eventually it will be done. More ideas along these lines ar~ suitable for this campus. A Discouraging Site ..._ ..!~J~. - If you've been down to the public square in Wilkes-Barre lately, you've probably noticed many open spaces. These spaces obviously exist because construction companies have spent many hours tearing them down. The whole process makes for an unpleasant site as it is hazardess to pedestrians and also raises dust and debris. How long will it take to - .- . eliminate the buildings on the square and construct new stores? It is necessary to crumble the condemned sites but how much effort and money will it take for this redevelopment? Will it be worth it? Perhaps, in the end, the people of Wilkes-Barre will be presented with a modern complex of buildings that are much more attractive and structured than present buildings. It is an inconvenience now but it will be a blessing in the end.

A majority of this group is convinced they could be doing something much more productive. "After you've watched for a few hours you've really got nothing to show for it. I'd say it's a pure waste of time," snorted Eleanor Maas, a 15-year-old from Decatur, Ga. Most teens pointed out that they usually sat down to watch a program for an hour or so and found themselves transfixed for a much longer period of time. "It's really terrible. You end up watching such silly things. You promise yourself 'never again and you're back watching the very next day," exasperated 16-year-old Claire Patrick of Olympia, Wash. 41 per cent thought that the fact that the set is "always on" in their homes is the main contributor to their addiction. These teens explained that they are lured into watching what other members of their family are viewing and find themselves caught up in a whirlpool beyond their control. 32 per cent pointed out that they have to do their homework in rooms occupied by parents, brothers and sisters. Most of the time the TV set is on and they are forced to yield to temptation. A significant number said they watch because they feel that they are missing something. �THE BEACON Page 4 MEN ,J.lVotes From Dikaia Female Studies Course Needed In addition to the two on-going feminist courses at Wilkes, there are countless other ways Women's Studies can be worked into the present system and even the present cirriculum. The seminar number 397 exists in every department and can be used for experimentation in this or any other field. But there is a need for protection of sorts, and just as the seminar number can be thrown in at any time, it is also easy to dump it at the whim of a department head. It is for this reason that it is absolutely necessary to get out courses permanently into the college curriculum and printed in the bulletin. One way to insure Woman's Studies or any other study on a regular basis, is to establish an independent branch or department in the school, perhaps under the auspices of the evening school division. Courses could be listed according to subject matter and would not be under the jurisdiction of any particular department chairperson, but would come under an independent chairperson. This is the way it seems to be heading now at Wilkes College. Another way to offer our study is to work within the present system, establishing courses within each department where women's studies is applicable. It is understandable that departments such as Mathematics and Engineering are not suitable for such a study, but others, such as Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Education, English and Comparative Literature, Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Biology, History, Art, Theater and doubtless some others, could include and should include courses in women's studies. This is not to say that each department should have a token course in women's studies. There are enormous possibilities for countless courses in each department mentioned. We don't want tobe appeased with a few candy-assed courses aimed at quieting down "those crazy women's libbers." Ideally this program to promote women's studies should culminate in a degree-granting program in women's studies, with the student who wishes to major in it experiencing all aspects that could come under many different topics and so-called "departments," without answering to the present department heads, but to an independent faculty or department dedicated and trained in this field. This is even feasible using the present faculty. Certain qualified and interested teachers could form a separate department while also remaining in their respective field. They could form a curriculum combining all fields that apply to women's studies, be it literature, biology or whatever. Since the school is acutely concerned about the drop in enrollment, these teachers would be put to good use in a double function. While fulfilling their obligations to their own departments, they would also provide a service by widening the academic horizons at Wilkes College. They would furtJ:!er the aims of the liberal arts education, and satisfy the goals of many students who feel stifled in the present system, especially women who feel their education has been one-sided. I have often heard people say that women's studies is not valid in its own right, but should be included in the rest of the curriculum. This is fine if there are perfectly fair and open-minded people making the decisions about curriculum. But we have already seen here at Wilkes that this is not the case, even with those who profess to be of feminist persuasion. We must have our own department and I maintain that it can be done within the present system. Ideally we should revamp the whole program and get some new blood in the school, but presently we can draw from the numerous competent and interested people already here. The most important thing, however, is the student demand for such a program. We have already proven what we are capable of doing, but it can't end here. We have a foot in the door but we want to see the door opened wide. Our next goal must be to get our present courses.

Joni At Her Best Court And Spark Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly ' by Jewel Daney When I was sixteen, a friend of mine pulled me aside and said she had a record she wanted me to hear.. The songs were written and sung by a young woman from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I was unprepared for what I heard - a voice which could convey any emotion effortlessly - and I left my friend in search of the album. Six years'and five releases later, I'm still awed by Joni Mitchell. She has progressed steadily from her status where she's never been before, anct as one of the female folksingers of sne makes it work. the sixties to the most daring and The second major change is in her crea_tive singer-songwriter in pop lyrical content, in her understanding music. She uses her gifts wisely and of herself. Her precise knowledge of honestly. I assume she knows her words is consistent but she can limitations, too, though I'm inclined laugh at herself no~. "Raised on to believe she'll never reach them. Robbery" is a rock 'n' roll With her sixth album, Court and caricature of herself: Spark, she takes the listener to the "I'm a pretty good cook best point in her consistently I'm sitting on my groceries excellent career - one that is an Come up to my kitchen expansion on her previous efforts. I'll show you my best recipe ... Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air. Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding, Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless, Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. Mitchell fans will always have their personal favorites, of course, but we must recognize the positive changes that come with Court and Spark. First of all, there is a much heavier use of back-up musicians, notably some help from Jos e Feliciano and Robbie Robertson of The Band. There are strings, electric guitars, saxophones, and some solid percussion (John Guerin from the latest Byrds tour). The employment of these additions should not be interpreted as flash. She has taken command of these instruments just as she controls her own voice - -to attain perfection in expression. This is most evident on the cut "Car on a Hill." " ... Fast tires come screaming around the bend ... And I'm waiting for his car on the hill ... Climbing Climbing Climbing the hill ... " The guitar and soprano saxophone are screeching the tires, and Joni on piano is shifting gears. This is musical experimentation at its finest, for she is treading on ground Literary Herstory - Voices From The Past · I'm rough but I'm pleasin' I was raised on robbery ... " The introspective lyric is stiii there, as in "Just Like This Train:" "I used to count lovers like railroad cars I counted them on my side Lately I don't count on nothing I just let things slide ... and she concludes, " ... This jealous lovin 's bound to make me Crazy I can't find my goodness I lost my heart Oh sour grapes Because I lost my heart" The overall result is a recording of blatant honesty using · the finest synthesis of musicianship and lyric. Now multiply all that goodness by ten and you can have some idea of Joni Mitchell in concert. The opening act, and also her back-up band, Tom Scott and the L.A. Express did some fine jazz interpretations, brought Joni on and it was love all the way. Everything she does with her voice on record she can do twice as well in concert. It's jazzy, improvisational, free and easy. She goes from her lowest to highest notes in a split second. The phrasing is keen and expressive, the words are clear.

With a conference record of 5-3, Coach Roger Bearde's boys have two MAC contests remaining. On Tuesday, they travel up the highway to take on the University of Scranton Royals, and finish their conference schedule with Elizabethtown at home on Thursday evening. · Ironically, Scranton and ~lizabethtown are the only other teams besides Wilkes who have any kind of shot at the two remaining playoff berths. Albright and Lycoming have already clinched spots. So the Blue and Gold can make their own breaks so to speak, with a pair of important victories. At the time of this writing, Scranton had a conference record of 3-4, but played Upsala at home last night, and has remaining tilts with Elizabethtown away, on Saturday, and then finish with the Colonels at the John Long Center oh Tuesday night. ~lizabethtown, on the other hand, is 4-2 in conference competition, but played Juniata on their own hardwoods yesterday. Other crucial games left on the E-town schedule are the Scranton contest on Saturday, the encounter with Wilkes next Thursday, and a season finale against Upsala on February 23. Upsala has been eliminated from any hope of reaching the playoffs, · but is very tough on their home floor, and should give Elizabethtown a real battle. Wagner College has an outside opportunity to move into the playoffs, but played Philadelphia Textile Tuesday night, and takes on Delaware Valley Saturday. A loss in either of these frays, will kill their hopes. Summarizing the Wilkesmen's job in the ne-xt seven days, it looks like this. They can afford to lose one of their two remaining games, and still sneak in if the breaks go their Wl.¼Y, but a double victory would automatically put them on the playoff road. Scranton cannot afford to lose anymore of their remaining contests, because it would give them five conference losses, and that Z_/ ~LK,t · ;45 . · UP FRON'I: - (;Iarence Ozgo (left), Greg Buzinski (center), and Jack Brabant (right) ma~e up~ College cagers talented forward wall.

We can remember only four short years ago when this group was one of the mainstays putting down student revolutions across America. When the violence started at Kent State, a group of "middle class workers," bonded together "to stop this nonsense." The students were wrong in their protests against the Vietnam war ; according to this contingent. At the time, every American thought the 11 hardhats" were sincere in their cry to stop the revolutions. But now, only a short time later, this same group that. stopped disturbances four years ago, has developed one ~f their own. Oh, of course, they can justify it saying, "It is our livelihood that is being taken away from us; we must fight." This group fails to see that they are doing the same thing they were against four years ago. When the four students were murdered on the Kent State campus, everyone was appalled that human lives would be taken over a demonstration. However, only last week, one truck driver was killed wh-en a rock was dropped on his winds_ h ield from an overpass on a highway. Certainly, the pa~allels are there. Don't get us wrong, we don't believe in revolutions and bloodshed to prove a point; th is is not the reason for this writing. We are only trying to point out the rotten irony that occurred between these two mentioned situations. What it comes right down to, is the truck drivers and the rest of the hardhats are saying, 11 Don't you revolutionize, don't you bicker, don't you demonstrate, but ·I will if I have a point to prove." The only fitting thing that would top this whole situation would be a group of students calling themselves the "long haired, hippy freaks," bonding together and ;,stop this nonsense."

Over two hundred fans watched in amazement as Tracy dribbled around and through the Susquehanna defenders on her way to racking up an incredible tally of ten assists in addition to six points. Freshman Dottie Martin was the leading scorer for Coach Sandy Bloomberg's Colonelettes, totaling 13 points. Other big pointgetters for the lady cagers were Sharon Wilkes and Diane Jones with 12 and seven each. Spearheading the Susquehanna offensive barrage was Debbie Britton, who knocked home eighteen counters. Wilkes wasted little time early in ·the contest, jumping out to an 11-2 lead with four minutes left in the first quarter. But the visitors defense stiffened, and with the help of some fine outside shooting, they chopped the margin to five by the end of the ,period.

Qualifications for this very integral part to resident life here on the Wilkes campus are out I ined in the application for the perspective Resident Assistants and reads as follows : A. Single marital status; B. Good academic standing; C. Qualities which enhance successful interp~rsonal relationships ; and D . A proven desire to improve residence life. More importantly, however, the job is one that has to be taken seriously and much time and effort directed to it. It's not just a changing of a lightbulb or the calling of maintenance to fix a leaky radiator, but rather a duty to be there for someone to talk to or bring a problem to however small. There are too many people that regard the job as a joy-ride and neglect certain duties as showing up at meetings or spending more time in another dorm than their own. This is a job that requires patience, fairness, strength, compassion, and a helping hand ,when needed . An R.A.'s job is to work with the students to better a.cclimate them to resident life at Wilkes. This taken an involvement on the part of that · R.A. and a lot of personal time to help carry this out effectively. For those applying for the position of Resident Assistant, a note of caution is advised.

WRI1~E ON HQ LL EN BA C K RE Q U ESTS SEC U RI TY Hollenback Hall was hit by a fire over Christmas vacation. One of the girl's rooms on the third floor was evidently broken into by a reported prowler. It is strongly suspected that someone climbed up the unenclosed fire escape which is still under construction. Because of the lack of uncompleted security measures, access to the second and third floor windows were and still are easily obtained. The person entered into the room by breaking a pane of glass above the lock. Although the security screen was present on the lower portion of the window it did not provide any protection for the lock. . The prowler evidently was living m the dorm for a few days unnoticed by any of our security guards. It was later reported by a neighbor that lights had been seen throughout the dorm previous to the fire. Investigators claim that the fire had been started by a lighted cigarette left ?n th~ bed. Unfortunately, security did not discover the smoldering room until the next morning. It is believed by the fire department that the fire started around midnight, Thursday, January 3rd. A security man reported the fire January 4th at 10 a.m. Since the dormitories are vacant over vacations, we feel it is not too much to ask that security be tightened at these times, Perhaps if this had been the case, the fire could have been detected shortly after it had begun. We feel that there is no excuse that a fire should be allowed to go unnoticed in a girls' dormitory for 10 hours. As can be expected there was a great deal of fire and smoke damage ~one to the third floor . Although the fire was contained in one room smoke did penetrate throughout th~ third floor. The girls on that floor had great amounts of personal damages and loss ranging over a thousand dollars. We feel that the administration is treating this situation too lightly. No move has been made on the part of the college, to help these girls in any way. The college has informed us that they can't insure personal belongings of its students; however, we feel that this incident would not have occurred if security had been better, Therefore, we feel that the school should be held responsible. Three weeks have now gone by and aside from the initial phone call reporting the fire, the girls involved have not been approached in any way by the administration, We feel that even a mere letter of concern sent by the school to these girls or their parents who now face the financial burden of replacing lost articles, would be the least they could have done. Again we must stress the problem of security and the need for improvement. Nwnerous letters have been written by our concerned parents regarding this matter. Obviously, any improvements that may have been made have not proven effective . One of the purposes of this letter is to call to the attention of all students that the need for action will have to be up to us. Our tuition is high enough and our lives are important enough to make this one of our major interests at this moment! The " Wilkes College Family" evidently does not have the unity and concern for its students as proposed by the administration. We feel that the handling of this situation was not only inadequate but in poor taste. We have been told that we are overreacting to this situation. However, we believe that prowlers, fire and our safety constitute a legitimate reason for concern. We apologize if this letter sounds a bit bitter or out of line, but under the circwnstances, how would you react? Girls from Hollenback Hall Student Raps Professor's Misjudgment Dear Sir, A recent personal occurance has prompted me to write this letter expressing not contempt, but rather hope. ~ letter demonstrating, at least m my eyes, an injustice inflicted upon myself as a student by the judgment of an instructor. The judgment in question concerns the grading of a final exam taken this past semester. The grade received for that final was a reflection of both the content of the final and the placement, or more correctly in this case the misplacement of my p~rsonal outline of thoughts for that essay. My instructor informed me that the content of my exam was, in his eyes, worthy of a grade of " B."

Press . r-----------------------~ I I I I I I Despite growing shortages of energy and industrial raw materials, I a Bank of America economic study I just released foresees moderate real growth in the U.S. economy in 1974 and no recession. Bank of America's forecast, "Focus on the U.S. Economy: 1974," hinges on two basic assumptions. The first, Middle East oil productionand exports will return to preconflict levels in the first quarter of 1974. Should this not occur, the report says, then the possibility of a domestic recession would increase. The second assumption is that government programs to allocate available supplies of petroleum products will favor agriculture and industry. "Given those conditions, Gross National Product in current prices should advance in 1974 by somewhat more than $100 billion or 8 per cent," the B of A study says. "About three-fourths of the gain will be due to inflation, and about one-fourth will be a real increase in goods and services. " Energy shortages, the report points out, will nontheless cause " inconveniences and some economic dislocation." Inflation, too, the bank says, will continue as an " overriding economic concern in the .

Gifts received from these organizations by June 30, 1974 will result in the donor receiving a state tax credit amounting to 50 per cent of his gift. In making Wilkes College eligible for this program a ceiling of $123,750 in tax credits has been established. The original campaign drive last year - a portion of which is carried over into this year's effort -listed a need for $2,200,000 and represented anticipated expenses for areas not covered by federal funds. These needs are: 1. Replacement of Library holding (The cost of replacing lost volumes by microfilm and the extensive labor cost of handling and cataloging such replacements adds increased burdens on the college.) $250,000. 2. Scholarships to flood-affected students (Several hundred students resided in the flood areas and stand in continued need of financial aid.) $350,000. 3. Supplies (Federal funds provide replacement of a one-month stock of supplies.

Outside doors and windows should be closed as soon as possible. Long conversations with the doo_rs or windows open result in much heat loss. . 6. Turn out unnecessary lights during daylight hours. Be sure to turn out lights when leaving a room for an indefinite or long period of time. 8. Check to see that outside security lights (porch lights, pole lights, spot lights, etc.) are turned off during the daylight hours. In addition to implementing the above guidelines, the maintenance department has been instructed to reduce the wattage of incandescent lighting up to 50 per cent in all non-reading areas. Lighting in the cafeteria will also be reduced to a minimum. . We encourage everyone to assist us in the conservation of energy at Wilkes College.

'68 Alumna Receives Doctorate A Wilkes-Barre young woman, who graduated at the top of her class at Wilkes College in 1968, achieved the top rung on the academic ladder recently when she was awarded her doctorate in physics from Pennsylvania State University. Word was received by Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini that Rosalie Loricoski, daughter of Mr. and Mrs:. Anthony Loncoski, 211 Chamberlain Street, RD 2, WilkesBarre, pad been awarded the coveted degree following extensive advanced work in her field. Miss Loncoski compiled an outstanding record during her four years at Wilkes College and was honored for her academic achievement by being awarded one of a half dozen full scholarships awarded in physics by Columbia University. The Wilkes-Barre native achieved additional academic success in graduate school and obtained her master's degree in physics after which she moved on to Pen~ State for work on her doctorate. Miss Loncoski's 145-page doctoral thesis was "Unstable Particle States and the s Matrix," dealing with a certain part of the relativistic quarwn theory of elementary particles. Messages of congratulations were sent to Miss Loncoski from the college by President Michelini and Dr. Frederick Bellas, member of the Wilkes College Department of Physics.

Colonelettes Open Their Season T~night; Tracy Questionable The Wilkes College women's basketball team will open its 1974 season this evening, when they entertain Baptist Bible College at 6: 30 p.m. in the Franklin Street gymnasium. The girls have been going through daily workouts in preparation for their opener, and all indications point to a prosperous season. They have looked well in workouts, and seem to be in good shape physically. One of Coach Sandy Bloomberg's girls that has really come on in pre-season scrimmages has been sophomore, Barbara Long. BArbara has given the Colonelettes the spark needed to make their offense click, and has been especially impressive in leading the fast break. Two freshman that possibly might break into the starting lineup against Baptist Bible are Sharon Wilkes and Dottie Martin. Wilkes, a Nanticoke Area High School alumnus, and Martin, a graduate of Wyoming Area, have performed well in early workouts. With basically a freshman and sophomore oriented team, Miss Bloomberg is counting on veteran senior, Debbey Wysocki to keep the Colonelettes together until they can acquire a little more experience. How well they adapt under pressure could very well tell the story of their entire season. Sophomore guard, Anne Tracy, ATTENTION JUNIORS!!!

Acknowledged prior to the start of the Wilkes-Oswego State dual meet were John Carr and Joe Wiendl, two legends among Wilkes fandom. Also drawing plaudits were all Blue and Gold mat alumni, who returned for "Old Timer's Night." The pair of All-Americans, who represent the 1963-72 era, now join Marv Antinnes, the first decade selectee, as sole recipients of the college's highest grappling honor. Carr, successful mat mentor at Hanover Area High School, won PIAA championship laurels while a student at Hanover Township High School. Later matriculating to the University of Pittsburgh, he log and went on to capture the Middle Atlantic Conference and NCAA College Division 167-point crowns. The Hawkeye alumnus was even sharper in his final year, producing a 9-0 log, and duplicating his previous MAC and NCAA efforts. Carr later added the crown jewel to his career by placing third in the NCAA University event. Carr concluded his brief but explosive Colonel stint with a perfect 15-0 dual record in which he posted eight pins and seven decisions. Probably the finest all around athlete in Wilkes history was Joe Wiendl, who reached his forte as a grappler, placing in four NCAA College Division tournaments. Wiendl, who hailed from Westfield, N. J., was a two-time NCAA CD champion (1968,69) and earned a fifth spot at the NCAA University confab at Penn State in 1969. His 49-1 dual record was second John Carr transferred to Wilkes as a sophomore in 1963.

I ■ ■ ■ Jim DeSombre DeSombre moved in at the 167 pound weight class. His first opportunity came against the Pacific University, and Jim responded with a fall. Wilkes traveled to Delaware Valley College a few nights later, and DeSombre was matched against last year's Middle Atll.>ntic Conference champion at 177 pounds, Fran Campbell. Not many people would have given two cents for Jimmy's chances against Campbell, but the Material Hidden in the realm of obscurity for three and a half years, Wilkes wrestler Jimmy DeSombre has finally stepped into the grappling limelight that had once deserted him. As a scholastic mat standout for Wyoming Valley West, Jimmy reached the district finals as a senior and was one victory away from finishing his high school career as a champion. The only man in his way was Hanover High School's Paul Martinez. As fate would have it, DeSombre lost to Martinez, and then matriculated to Wilkes, upon graduation, while Martinez accepted an offer from NYU, but eventually came to the Colonel campus after the New York institution disbanded its wrestling program. In the few years that followed, neither DeSombre nor Martinez saw much varsity action what with the Colonels overstocked in the middle weight categories. DeSombre wouldn't say die though, and day after day came to practice sessions and worked hard at perfecting his athletic ability. A few weeks ago, with upperweight grapplers Bob Yanku and Jeff Jim DeSombre McDonald out for an indefinite period of time with injuries, Jimmy Engineering major proved everyone got his chance.

DeSombre couldn't say enough about Wilkes' successful wrestling program. He reiterated the fact that the Colonels have one of the toughest schedules in the entire country, and was very explicit on his feelings about Coach Reese. "Coach Reese is an excellent wrestling coach, and does a great job with the team," DeSombre said. "He attracts some of the best wrestling material available." After graduation, Jim hopes to get a job in the field of material engineering, and recently had an interview with Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Nicknamed "Supersub" by his teammates, DeSombre likes to do a little carpentry in his spare time and surprisingly doesn't do any weightlifting. Coach Reese is still in awe over the performance of his new found mat hero. "Jimmy has been out for four years, saw little action, wrestling in a tough weight class. But he stuck with it and it has paid off. What he did against Campbell in the Del Val meet was unbelievable.'' Whether or not Jim will ever be called on again to get the job done, we can't really say. But one thing is for sure; the limelight that deserted him four years ago, has shone on his shoulders once again, and this time DeSombre responded with victory.

(Continued On Page 6) Court Renders Decision To Widen River Street The efforts of Wilkes-Barre area residents and a Wilkes College student group to block the proposed widening of the River Streets along the historic River Common received a setback recently. The seven-judge panel of the State's Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg ruled that the widening scheme outweighed any environmental harm to the "public common" grounds. In effect, unless the ruling is appealed, the state may widen the River Streets at the earliest opportunity. The court action was initiated ly laid out in 1770 by settlers of the nearly two years ago by several area Susquehanna_Company citizens in a class action against the The original Common contained a State Department of Transportation little over thirty-nine acres of and the City of Wilkes-Barre.

If this occurs, it will mark the first time the two institutions have met in recent years. One must ask himself why is this so? Why can the two schools travel hundreds of miles a year, while the biggest gate attractio_n and rivalry is but blocks away? If the two schools meet, a packed gym is aln:,ost a certainty and then perhaps with money in their pockets the two schools will realize that the get together of these rival institutions is a good thing. For the enjoyment of the Valley and the two respective student bodies, we surely hope th is is the case. It's YoursKeep It Clean! Hurricane Agnes left her devastating mark at Wilkes in the June flood of 1972. In a plan called "Operation Snapback,"' however, the college soon reswned near normal functions. "Operation Snapback" consisted of two phases: the first entailed the removal of mud and debris, and any emergency repairs. The second was the reconstruction work of the physical buildings. In an interview with Charles R. Abate, he was asked about the difference between actual reconstruction and upgrading of the baj_ldings. "As far as upgrading is concerned," replied Abate, "that comes from college funds. The flood recovery work was funded by the government." Actual flood recovery work, Abate noted as being completed with the exception of the library, and odds and ends here and there. The good that was brought about by the flood, Abate saw as "grand cooperative movement of everyone helping the whole valley get back on its feet." Thanks to the dedication of both young and old, the valley came back and an even bigger thank-you to the hard work and " mucking" that was done, Wilkes, also, came back into full swing. 1 Student Says Dr. Reif Paragon of a Moral Ma To the Editor: At the risk of renewing a smoldering controversy which is perhaps ignored, I would like to make a comment regarding Dr. Charles recent letter to the editor (whose content I need not recapitulate), unfortunate aftermath.

Philip Gasba Awarded Win Union Building Becomes a Reality With the opening of the new student union building this week, we think it only appropriate to remind students of their responsibility in it. The building, one which Wilkes students have waited for what seems like eternity, is only what you make of it. We think it is your responsibility to assist in keeping the area clean and damage-free. The Student Union Building, which will house activities for the student during his leisure time, is the culmination of some hard work on the part of Student Government and on the behalf of the admnistration. We believe now that Wilkes College has finally come up with an activity hall that the students should live up to their part and maintain it. The following is a message from Student Government President, Pete Jadelis, concerning the development new Student Union building: This story should have been written 3 to 5 years ago; however, a student union was not a realization asilis Such prominent student leaders as Mike Barski and Howie Tune, two recent Presidents of Student Gov have been directly involved in the evolution of this student union.

The Spirit Of '74 Thousands of families relocate every day, but relatively few are aware of the pitfalls of moving from one home to another. Specialists in this area, the National Home Settlers, Inc., 30 East 42nd Street, New York, offer this constructive advice. A lease is a contract, and unless there is a transfer clause in the lease, or the landlord gives a written release to the tenant upon notice of his intent to move, the tenant will continue to be responsible for payment of rent until such time as the abode is re-rented. Transferees should not get involved in packing household goods if arrangements have been made to have the carrier do the packing. Insurance problems may result. If buying a new home, the buyer should investigate the National Association of Homebuilders ten \ year warranty against defects in : residential construction. The cost is modest. If seeking a mortgage, check with your employer for assistance in securing of financing, especially if the move is to one of the metropolitan areas. Down-payments on homes and closing costs vary considerably throughout the country.

Feminine Facts One out of every 50 men and women age 35 and over are using their leisure time to keep up with new developments in their field or to obtain the educational and technical skills necessary to change to a different line of work. These 1.5 million adults include: 780,000 enrolled in college; 570,000 attending a trade or vocational school; and the remainder were enrolled in elementary or secondary school. More than half are women, taking college courses to obtain a degree before' re-€ntering the labor market. Eight out of 10 male college students attend school part time, according to Herbert Bienstock, the U.S. Department of Labor's assistant regional director for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of this number 98 per cent were in the labor force - a rate comparable to that for all men age 35 to 44, the middle age group in the survey. The overwhelming majority of women age 35 and over in college, Mr. Bienstock noted, were going to school part time. Nearly 3 out of 4 of these part-time students work or are seeking work, a proportion much higher than for women in the same age group who were not in school. Mr. Bienstock suggested that the outlook for adult education between now and the year 2000 can be expected to be in a more favorable configuration than any time in this century.

G · l'AI uest "v1VEP- TV Editorial 1::~,1or.'S D'r•nk·ng A g e At "'8 ru l ,, VI , ,, by Dr. Harry K. Miller, President, Keystone Junior College All my life I have abstained from the use of alcoholic beverages for I have believed their misuse has destroyed many lives and has been a serious menace to society. And all my life I have tried to be a reasonable man. Reason tells me that the legal age for drinking should now be lowered from 21 years to 18. _ If our young people must drink, let us try to make sure that they do so under optimum conditions. Now the teenager who wants to drink must either violate Pennsylvania law or go into a neighboring state where 18-year-olds may drink legally. A great many of them choose the later course, taking to the highway for the return trip with too much alcohol in their systems. The peril is obvious. I will continue personally to advise both young people and adults to avoid the use of alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, I am convinced that lowering the drinking age would tend to keep our teenagers closer to honl'.e, and it would keep their drinking out in the open. Let's reduce the sneaking, the cheating, the blatant violation of the law - violation which conditions our new adult citizens to cheat in other ways. We have legalized the age of 18 for the vote, the making of contracts, the paying of taxes, and other adult privileges, yet we continue the hypocritical 21-year age limit on consumption of alcohol. Studies have shown that more than 90 per cent of the college students who drink began before entering college -most of them in their own homes. Why continue to pretend that a 21-year law prevents their drinking? Let's legalize an iescapable reality and be done with it. �THE BEACON Page 4 Wilkes Comeback ·A.

Chakmakas came to Wilkes from Syracuse University and had year here at Wilkes before being eligible to wrestle. But as of last year, his first full year of eligibility, he started building the way for a successful wrestling career going 7-1-1 before sustaining an injury which kept him from wrestling at full strength. His lifetime log at Wilkes adds up to 15-2-2. This year is a different story as he has the experience and health. He has dominated his opponents with the exception of the Navy wrestler this season. The 1973-1974 squ~d is currently ranked sixth in the east and stands on a 6-4 team record. According to Chakmakas, North Dakota State and Montclair State will be the toughest concerns of the Colonels on their remaining regular schedule. Recently John went to the finals of his 134 weight class in the Wilkes Open after wrestling superbly but lost in overtime. He sees no reason why this years squad shouldn't capture the MAC TEAM championship for the thirteenth time in seventeen years.

Another Clarion grappler, Tom Turnbull, was presented with the Harold Rosenberg Award, which goes to the outstanding freshman in the Open. An enormous surprise for the Wilkes wrestling fans was the performances of senior John Chakmakas and junior Gene Ashley. Both grapplers reached the finals, but failed in their quest for individual titles as Chakmakas lost an overtime decision to Mark Belknap of William and Mary in the 134-pound title bout, 3-1, while Ashley succumbed to Neil Duncan of the New York Athletic 8-1, in the 158-pound final.

Michelini. The addition of Ingersoll-Rand to the list of firms which have internship working agreements with Wilkes College greatly enhances the opportunities for on-the-job training in the senior year. The program with Ingersoll-Rand will commence in January, 1974, and as is the case with the other firms, will provide academic credit toward a bachelor's degree. In addition to the internship program, the Ingersoll-Rand Company will interview in April accounting majors completing their junior year in June of each year. Two Wilkes students will be selected on a competitive basis for in photo, left to right, are: Robert Capin, Accounting Department; Alden J.

Internship Program. Students Will Vote Today at 11 by Chuck Riechers Students will vote on their choices for the Spring Concert today from 11-1 in the Commons and from 5-7 in Pickering Hall (NMD). A question will appear on the ballot of whether students are willing to supplement the cost of concerts to improve the choice of groups. Four groups are available at present if students attend concerts free of charge. Through negotiation, SG was able to obtain a higher quality carpet for less, to be installed in Church Hall. SG voted to grant Theta Delta Rho $300 to supplement costs for a semi-formal dinner dance to be held February 22. Tickets are $10 per person for Wilkes students and their dates. Music will be provided by BBK Expedition. SG will present a free movie, " Where Does It Hurt," tomorrow evening at 7 and 9 in the CPA. �Page 2 THE BEACON WRITE ON Editorially Speaking Interpretation Aimed At All Our Unpaved Streets If you recali, before the flood came in June of 1972, the people of Wilkes-Barre were promised that something would be done about the horrendous conditions of its roads. Well, all you have to do is take a drive through the city and its suberbs and see just how much was done. · Potholes, rugged railroad crossings, and car-grinding roads are still in abundance. The ironic part of the whole thing is it is not the side roads and back streets which are in bad shape but the main thoroughfares which take people back and forth to work each day. The city would have an excuse if taxes had been cut, but this is not the case. We ask, where has all the money gone that was allocated for the repaving of streets? While all the talk of the gas shortage has been going on, this very serious dilemma has been pushed aside. However, we wonder how much more torn up these streets can get before they are altered?

Buyers of most 1975 cars will spend about $150 for the catalytic converters required to meet interim emissions standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency. But that's not all, they'll have maintenance and replacement costs as well. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that a car equipped to meet the emission standards of 1977 will cost $270 a year for five years including the higher purchase cost, increased maintenance, and more fuel consumption compared with a 1970 car. Meanwhile, drivers of 1973 cars are paying about 15 per cent more per year right now due to a combination of higher fuel consumption and increased cost of gas per gallon. Cars equipped with emission control systems use more gasoline. Also, catalytic converters cannot function on the lead compounds in some gasoline, so anti-knock charateristics must be built into gasoline in the refining process. This, of course, increases costs along with the added expense of storing and transporting the unleaded gasoline separately. Another factor in higher costs is the need for more crude oil to refine low lead gasoline. It is estimated that 110 million additional barrels of crude oil will be needed annually at a cost of about $550 million. With foreign oil supplies being cut back as well as increased in price, that figure also will go up. Most engineers feel that the catalytic converter is an interim device, and a better system will be developed. Then, of course, millions of cars will be left with the old system that will require parts and service. Such is the cost of " free" air. Outdoing Secretariat The public payroll continues to grow about twice as fast as the population it serves, while the taxpayer is bludgeoned ~nto paying higher and higher taxes. On an annual basis, the Tax Foundation estimates that wages of civilian employees on government payrolls will exceed $118 billion in 1973. In _five years (1967-1972) employment in the public area mcreased 13 per cent, while the nation's population increased about five per cent. More than half of the 371,000 increase of full-time equivalent employment in 1971-72 was in education, the field that claims half of all state and local employees. It is only through increased citizen interest that sound management methods can be utilized to keep the public payrolls in check. �Page 4 THE BEACON Dr. Sol Gordon Discusses Aspects of Se Premarital Sex, Aborti Among Topics Conside by Sandy Akromas Did you know-masturbation is " the latest thing ... everyone is· everi Reader's Digest says it's all right?"

He _kno~s how to use lots of flat shapes, sharp lines, precise color co~bmat10ns -hard energy. There is that same philosophy throughout a lot of his work. But it's not crude or cold or anesthetic like most hard-edge works that sterilize, rather than vitalize. Bill's stuff comes off as a soft nostalgia an easy ~rin and grace. He did a '58 Pontiac which is my favorite single work so far this year. His paintings don't carry it off as well. He's jumped into a realistic vein of surrealism, but ... I don't know. The theory was there, but that's about it. Photography, I guess, is not Bill's forte either, although he did one ex~ellent shot that he used for a poster. It's interesting to note that insted?:I of gomg for bold, flat shapes, he tends to use fine textures, lots of wet blacks, and there's a good deal of depth, too. The antithesis of silk-screens! But there'~ nothing t~at told us an~thing photographic. No image impact. However, with those silk-screens, Bill doesn't need anything else. Noll-Pelancher '.fhe first sight as I ambled into the Conyngham Gallery last Monday was th1~ beautiful, floati~g acrylic. Michelle Noll had composed a melody of oozmg colors that spm and flow, creating pastel-like alluvial fans. It was kind of "Redon-esque" in flavor. And it's one of those deals which only comes out 'one-in-ten' times. Marylin Pelancher's jewelry was superbly crafted and overall well:Iesigned. I was st~ned at the handling. No splashes of solder. No hackJack edges. No grotesque scalP-s. Just fine, fine work. The r~s! of the show, I hate to say, was lacking. The photographs in both were spmtless: un-sorta-photographs. Un-strong. Many watercolours were more like water-less-colours. All too dry. And the other graphics and paintings had problems, too.

The powerful Wilkes College wrestling team breezed to their second victory of the season last Saturday evening at Tne Franklin Street gymnasiwn, pulverizing Western Maryland College 53-0. The Blue and Gold grapplers picked up seven falls, two superior decisions, and one regular decision on their way to the biggest point output in the annals of Wilkes College wrestling history. Coach Reese's team is now 2-1 on the season, their only loss coming at the hands of powerful Lehigh University in the season opener. Rick Mahonski had no trouble with Western Maryland's Jed Marchio in the opening bout of the evening, winning a super decision 14-0. After picking up two points in the first period by virtue of a takedown, Mahonski put his man on his back three times in the second stanza, but failed to show him the lights. UNBEATEN CAGERS-Two of the key reasons for the Wilkes College basketball team's early success has been the play of forward Jack Brabant and center Greg Buzinski. Brabant is shown going high against the glass for two points against Wagner, while Buzinski looks underneath for an open man in the same game. Another Wilkes' super freshmen, Lonny Balwn, made short work of his opponent in the 126-pound bout, pinning him in 3:50. At 134, John Chakmakus rode to his third victory of the young season, pinning WM's Bob Griffin .in 3:45. Griffin was losing 5-0 when the fatal moment occurred late in the second period. Tom Yates gave the Colonel's Artie Trovei a little trouble early in the 142-pound match before bowing out 6-1. Artie handled his opponent relatively easy during most of the match, but Yates refused to be pinned. Mike Lee picked up the Colonels third fall of the evening, when he put Guy Royston of Western Maryland on his back in 3: 24 of the 150-pound bout. This upped the team total to 25-0 after five matches. Wilkes' Gene Ashley and Western Maryland's Bill Powell were tied 2-2 going into the final period of the 158-pound encounter, before Ashley reversed him and showed him the lights in 7: 32. BEST OF THE BEST-Senior Mike Lee, one of the best grapplers ~ his weight class in the entire country, is shown putting Western Maryland's Guy Royston towards his back in the Colonels' 53-0 blitzing. Mike will be one of the big keys Coach Reese is counting on to beat nationally-ranked Navy on Saturday at Annapolis. Jimmy Weisenfluh continued his unbeaten ways at 167, when he put WM's Bill Burke on his back for good in 3:28. Weisenfluh had a comfortable 5-0 lead before the fall. Wittenberg Pulverizes Juniata To Gain NCAA Division 1·11 Title Getting his first start of the season, Bobby Yanku rode to an easy 15-1 super decision over Joe Booker of WM at 177. Yanku was extremely aggressive during the entire match and had Booker turned around on three occasions but couldn't put him away. Colonel Junior Joe Grinkevich upped the Wilkes lead to 47-0, when he put Ed Bering's shoulders to the mat in 4:17 of the 190-pound bout. Blue and Gold heavyweight, Al Sharer put the finishing touches on a sensational evening for the Reesemen, when he floored WM's Bob Kehler in 1:45. Next action for the Colonel grapplers is Saturday, when they face Navy at Annapolis, Maryland. Wittenberg College captured the first NCAA Division III championship last Saturday afternoon in Phoenix City, Alabama, trouncing Juniata College 41-0. Led by quarterback Lloyd Ball's four touchdowns, the Ohio school had a relatively easy time in handling the Indians, who were winners of the Lambert Bowl, symbolizing supremacy in Division III football in the East. Wittenberg scored early in the first period, as Juniata couldn't stop their punishing ground game. Led by two more Lloyd Ball touchdowns, the Tigers took a 21-0 lead into the dressing room at half time. Juniata started strong in the third quarter, stopping Wittenberg quickly, and moving the ball upfield only to be stopped by an ineligible receiver penalty which killed a big gain. The Tigers came right back as Ball unloaded a bomb to split end Joe Harper, who took it 71 yards to the one yard stripe. From there, Ball took it over for ,his fourth score. After holding the Indians again, Wittenberg picked up their fifth score of the afternoon, with Dino Johnson going over from two yards out. Johnson was the big ground gainer during that drive, opening up one for 28 yards. Wittenberg's final score came after Tiger defensive back Art Thomas intercepted a Gary Shope The Wilkes College ba team streaked to their third victory of the young season Saturday night, when they MAC rival, Wagner College, Four Colonel cagers hit figures against the Hawks, Clarence Ozgo, Steve Ference, Buzinski and Mike Prekepa the cords for 15, 14, 10 respectively.

The group will combine all planning and implementation of summer, evening, credit, non-credit and graduate offerings in one office. This change is effective immediately.

Michelini to all members of the faculty, administration and student body to be "extremely conscious" of the need to coopenite in the conservation of energy. The college president met early in November with Charles Abate, college business manager, to go over plans whereby the institution might lend total cooperation to the national plea to conserve energy. ' _The meeting followed a conference held by Wilkes-Barre City Manager Bernard Gallagher for heads of various institutions and firms in the region. Dr. Michelini and Abate represented Wilkes at the briefing on measures to be taken to save on energy. Abate said thal all college personnel have been instructed to take all reasonable measures necessary to help ease the burden. Instructions have been given to extinguish lights when classrooms or offices are not in use· keep temperatures at workable, but minimum settings, and 1 redu~ed to 55 degrees when the area is going to be out of service for any extended length of time. During the period of almost a month between semesters all coll_ege _buildings that do not require special heating wili be mamtamed at temperatures that will contribute to the conservation of fuel. Students and college personnel are being encouraged to ' make their own arrangements, where possible, to use car pools or public transportation. President Michelini said he had been assured that the continuation of all interior and external lightingJJsed fc,r security purposes would not be considered significant and would create a hazard that far outweighed any minute saving. �THE BEACON Page 2 ., WRITE ON Editorially Speaking Advertisement In Beacon Hailed The· Returns, Elease Every W ilkes student is concerned with t esting - in one form or another - during his college career. Although students may dislike testing and can fi nd various reasons for its removal, it still is and always will be a part of student life. Each professor has his own decisions to make about giving tests - how many to give a semester, in-class versus take home·, objective versus essay, grading system, curves, etc. It is the prerogative of the teacher to make these decisions according to his own standards and convenie~e. But we feel that professors should be in agreem~nt on one point. We feel they should return the graded te~ts to the students. We are referring to the classroom o~ take-home tests given during the semester. We realize that final exams are next to impossible to return so they are not part of this issue. Some professors give tests during the semester and do not give them back to the students or go over them at length. We feel it is important for the student -to know his grade but more important to know what he did . ' wrong and what he did right. Feedback on testing enables the student to. adjust his studying habits and helps him to decide on the importance ; f particular material. The feedback is especially essential if the student's o~ n ideas are incorporated in his work. The one-hour test papers are also helpful in preparing f~r final exams. The work load per student ha~ been increased with the scheduling of exams before Christmas. The student has more one-hour tests and papers crammed into less time, and he needs all the help he can get. We feel it is not only important to the student's welfare and education to receive his To the Editor: Hurrah for the Beacon's acceptance of the Drunken Driving Advertisement of 11-1-73! In utter disagreement with Dr. Reif's letter to the editor of 11-15-73, and we quote: " If nature uses drunken driving and the totaling of vehicles as one way of selecting the kooks who are to be dropped from the population, why run an ad against such a biologically sound practice? " We would like to ask, what of the thousands of innocent people murdered by these drunken drivers in the act of removing themselves from the population? We could consider your argument if the only person killed in the accident was the drunk driver, but in most cases, many innocent people die. However, we cannot evep see justifying drunken driving as a method of maintaining the ecological balance of eliminating the " kooks," fo~ we S!;le no _justification for tht: taking ~f a life or ev~n condon_mg t~e taking of ?~es own life under mtoxicated conditions where this "suicide" . is not ones own choice? Please do not misunderstand us, we agree that the "kooks" must be taken off the road, but the forequoted met~od of Dr. Reif's seems too drastic. furthermore, in our philosophy, the taking of an innocent life is not ecologically sound - then again, neither is the death of a " kook" for in many cases that "kook" is a sick Respectfully, Charles D. Munson John F. Barrett Mark F. Letavish Almighty Reif Owes Apology To the Editor: It is nice to see that the Wilkes College community has its own self-appointed judge of destiny. It is a shame to find a man of such experience to be of considerably limited scope. Dr. Reif should try some self examination and consider the things he says. It is a sorrowful fact that many people will take what a man says . as the almighty truth because of a man's position. If we were to follow Dr. Reif's principle a bit further, selection would take care of the sick old and disabled, and we would 'hav~ no further use of hospitals. I hoped the educational experience would do away with some of the ever-so-right Archie Bunkers in our society. Dr. Reif has gone a long way in proving you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy, ·and it takes more than degrees before a can see the light.

Parties Discussed At IDC test papers, but it is also his right. Energy Crisis And You! With an " Energy Crisis" hitting the United States, we, the members of the Wilkes College " Family," have to unite and help fight this monster which is quickly turning the wealthiest nation into one of turmoil and shortage. · There is one particular aspect of the family which can help immediately and that is the dorm section. How often do you leave a room and leave the lights on while you go .o ff to a party only to return two or three hours later. What about the person who turns the heat up to 74 degrees when during the summer you would have found that temperature uncomfortable and prayed it would drop to about 68. Those who take very hot showers would b~ better off to take them in cooler water because not only would less fuel be used, but also it is better for th~ hair which grows healthier due to the cool water. We believe that if residents of every dorm got together and discussed the issue at hand, they would become more aware of the situation we are now in and they as a group could draw up plans to do their share to help put the country back on the path to wealth and prosperity. It may not seem like much, but "every little bit helps" and enough little bits eventually grow into something big. It doesn't take much time and effort to close some lights, and t-he human body can adapt to almost anything with a certain amount of conditioning. So now it is up to you to think seriously about it and to consider the choices that are given to you. BEACON STAFF Edi tor-in-chief. . ... .... .. . .. . . ... . ................. .

Bob Fiori Curb Energy This Winter If we run out of energy fuels, our creature comforts will be curtailed sharply. So, alert homemakers are checking every nook and corner of the house for ways to conserve energy this winter. Since insulation is the number one means of keeping heat in - or out it's wise to start at the top of the house and work down when checking on insulation. Homes that are more than 15 years old are often not adequately insulated. According to the National Bureau 6f Standards, a ceiling should have six inches of insulation, walls about four inches, and floors about two inches. Insulating your roof can save up to 90 per cent of heat loss; insulated walls can save up to 60 per cent, and insulated floors up to 70 per cent. Storm windows and doors of wood or aluminum also reduce heat loss by as much as 50 per cent. In some areas of the country, homemakers · heave storm windows on all windows the year around except for one or two needed for ventilation in hot weather. It reduces air conditioning costs. Other vital areas to check include your heating plant: Does it operate efficiently? Has a qualified service man inspected it recently? Be sure any cracks around windows and 'doors are sealed. Close dampers on fireplaces when not in use. Insulate hot water pipes that may pass through cold spaces. Close off rooms that are not used regularly. Double check to see that radiator covers do not trap heat or that furniture is not arranged to block the flow of heat. Incidentally, a layer of aluminum foil between a radiator and a cold wall will reflect heat back into a room. Freezing Food No doubt about it, a freezer can save you time and money when you take advantage of in-season products and special sales. But good planning is needed to gain all the benefits and avoid - some of the problems you could · have with freezing food. For example, foods vary in the . degree of temperature and moisture needed to retain their fresh quality. So, keep a thermometer handy to check your refrigerator and freezer for proper temperatures. Refrigerators should be below 40 degrees F ., and freezer cabinets should be maintained at zero degrees. According to the Food & Drug Administrati!)n and Agriculture Department, food begins to thaw and cannot be safely held for any length of time over 10 degrees above zero. In the regular part of the refrigerator, meat should not be held over five days. Irowever, in the freezer at zero degrees meat can be held for several months or longer depending on type and cut. In case of electrical power failure, do not open the freezer unless absolutely necessary. If it has been properly operated, food should keep for about 24 hours if freezer is not opened. You may safely refreeze most thawed foods if they still contain .ice crystals or if they are still about 40 degrees and have been held at this temperature no longer than one or two days after thawing.

Among those attending the private showing were, from left: Mrs. Mary Sekers, Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Sordoni III, Mi:s. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Wilkes College president. The dedication was highlighted by the opening of a six-week exhibition of the seldom-circulated national collection of 36 works by George Catlin. Among those who attended the private showing were members of the Sordoni family and many prominent figures from government, business and education. The collection was brought to Wilkes College on loan from the Smithsonian Institution's National Collection of Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Art. Catlin, who was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796, gained international acclaim as a portrait painter and miniaturist, specializing in paintings of the American Indian. A.J. Sordoni III, president of Sordoni Enterprises, acknowledged expressions of appreciation from Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini during a reception that followed the dedication. Sordoni explained that the "Sordoni Art Gallery was given to Wilkes College by the Andrew J. Sordoni Foundation, Inc., to encourage the apprecia~on of art."He added that the gallery is dedicated to displaying and preserving works of art and to serve as a teach mg aid. The Catlin exhibit will be open to the public through January 5, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5p.m., and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. • • Vi• d Career Opportunities -iewe · • D lty lfl_em ii 4" bers_ B, ~ H istoryby£i!!e'don"l!gue The Histo,y Department of Wilkes held a cam,cs meeting ,ecently in the Dornthy Dickson Darte Hall.

Student Wants Rock Concerts To the Editor : There are two questions I would like to ask of Hariet Scheideberg concerning her letter to the Beacon last week. First - what the hell do you mean by "the stamina of a college student." Second - what type of reasoning process are you using? Perhaps Harriet, you are a freshman at Wilkes, and maybe the Homecoqling concert was your very first rock and roll show; if so we can chalk up the gross ignorance you showed in your letter to inexperience. However, I have been part of the Wilkes Family for three years, and although the cost of the concert was paid in part by my activity fee, and I was entitled to free admission, I nevertheless gave my ticket to a derelict down on the square. Let me explain my actions merely by giving you a list of performers that have played here since my freshman year at Homecoming and Spring Weekend concerts - The J3yrds, Sha-na-na, Eric Anderson, John Hammond, Poco, The Eagles, John Hartford, and the Earl Scruggs Revue. Harriet, except for Sha-na-na do you see any pattern? If not, you should. Now let me give you a partial list of the groups who played at the University of Scranton during the same period - Seatrain, Fairport Convention, Steve Miller Band, Mott the Hoople, the Rokin Trower Band, and Edgar Winter's White Trash. Some of these groups are even from England! You see, Harriet, the student body as reported by Rich Colandrea is not bitching because of the choice of the Earl Scruggs Revue and John Hartford, it is just that we are fed up going to the-University of Scranton or Bloomsburg to see a legitimate rock show - a privilege denied us by the prolonged country - western - folk trend here at Wilkes. Love always, Mike Paternoster Drunken Drivi Seen As 'Sou many others - fully agree with Rich in his opinion of the concert this Hom~coming P?St, and in no way do I feel demoralized or slandered by his To the Editor: opinion.

Sincerely Perhaps the parking problem is an overworked subject, but nothing is being done to help the situation. With the addition of the parking gates in Weckesser, Parrish, and Franklin parking lots, students can no longer sneak into the above mentioned lots. Y'i:hY should a commuting student, paying $2,000 as of next September, be forced to put up with this abuse? As it stands now, he can park at a meter and take the chance of going over his limit by a couple minutes and getting nailed by an "eagle-eyed" poticeman or pay a nice sum of money to park at a municipal parking ·lot. It seems tunny to us that Student Government car, put forth a concert and pay $5,000 to secure a group that very few people were happy with, yet they have showr:, I ittle or no interest in the parking problem. Ironic, that such a "trivial" subject gets pushed aside. We think its about time that Student Government, whose shoulders part of this problem falls on, wpke up and started thinking about the students they serve. Whether they I ike to believe it or not, more students are driving cars these days than ever before and these vehicles have to be parked somewhere while the student attends classes. King's has solved its problem by building a parking garage that allows the student to park all day tor 50 cents. ·Certainly, if King's could do something of this nature, Wilkes can come up Concert Opinion with a solution to its problem. .

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR "You can't have your <'ake and eat it too" is an expression which particularly fits our present energy crisis. In our determined st>arch to eliminate air pollution, we have aggravated another growing national concern, the energy shortage. This conflict of goals takes many forms, but one that affects each one of us is the control of automotive emissions. The control devices, particularly on the newer models, use more fuel. The Federal Office of Emergency Preparedness says that gasoline consumption has increased 300,000 barrels a day because of such pollution controls. It has meant the difference between adequate supply and shortage this year. It makes sense to hold emission standards at the present level as a conservation measure. Regardless of what kind of emission controls are ultimately installed on autos, these devices will operate best if the vehicle is properly tuned. Proper maintenance will be as important in reducing automotive pollution as the control devices themselves. A welltuned car runs more efficiently and gets better gas mileage. This is a challenge to all involved in automotive maintenance work, car deale rs, garage mechanics and service station operators. Proper maintenance can be instrumental in achieving the broader goals of a cleaner environment and energy conservation. QUOTATIONS .. .. . . . . i r···· . . . .

Dr. Richard T. Rees, as assistant professor of education at Wilkes College, has written an article, " The Bureaucratic Socialization for Student . Teachers," which will be published soon in the " Journal of Teacher Education. " Dr. Rees is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Rees, 45 S. Thomas Avenue, Kingston, and is a former Kingston High School football star. Dr. Rees, who served in a similar post at Montclair State College before coming to Wilkes, is working in conjunction with Wayne K. Hoy in producing the article. The duo has experience in the writing field, as they have previously written, "The Principal and Teacher Loyalty," which appeared in the "Rutgers University Research Bulletin" in the fall of 1971. In 1974, Dr. Rees plans to come out with his third article, . "Caution: Bureaucracy Ahead," which will be published in the " Contemporary Education" in the fall of 1974. In his most recent article, Dr. Rees discusses the examination of student-teacher attitudes with respect to their bureaucratic orientation, pupil control ideology and dogmatism, and the effect of the student-teaching experience on those attitudes. Dr. Rees, now a resident of 10 Park Lane, Mountaintop, received his bachelor of science in secondary education from Wilkes College and went on to receive his master of education from Rutgers University in 1967. He received his doctor of education degree in 1971 from Rutgers University. Presently he serves as a member of the College Admissions Committee and is sponsor of Wilkes-Malabar Drug Education program. He also teaches numerous courses at the local institution. Prior to coming to Wilkes, Dr. Rees ~erved as a vice-principal in Metuchen (N.J .) High School from 1965-1969 before going to Montclair State College in 1969. While at Winter Weekend Discussed At Recent JDC Meeting by Chuck Riechers A Winter Weekend is being considered by the Inter-Dormitory Council. The weekend under consideration contains a full schedule of activities. Current plans indicate that the weekend would include a dusk to dawn movie series, cQffee house, dances, snow sculpture contests, dorm parties and possibly other events. The energy crisis was also discussed. Steve Placko, assistant dean for residence hall life, doubted that there was an energy crisis.

In this post, he assisted in a variety of projects in local school districts, ranging from building evaluations to comprehensive studies. During this period, he completed the " Hierarc;hical Relationships in Public Secondary Education, " a still unpublished dissertation which deals with the responses of teachers in terms of their loyalty and satisfaction to various types of leadership behavior of their school principals.

SECURITY-IS IT EFFECTIVE? the night of October 20, it was that intruders found their into two of the women's ce halls on the Wlkes College . The two dorms which were to have been broken into Chapman Hall and Hollenback intruder was seen by - a t of Hollenback Hall when he her room. The intruder at nwas not seen. The security investigated and the WilkesPolice were also called to ·gate. The reports of the two break-ins has again brought up the question of whether or not the security system at Wilkes is effective . . Many of the female dorm students this year do not consider it to be effective. Some of the students at Chapman Hall were especially vocal about security since the break-in there. One of their complaints was that the security guards who answered the complaint on the night of the break-in refused to search the rest of the dorm to make sure the intruder was not still in the building. Security was considered a problem last year by many students and the results of the Student Government opinion poll tend to support this idea . The results, which were· issued not too long ago, show that 75 per cent of the dorm students polled were not satisfied with security. The students who responded to the question, "How can it be improved?" gave the following answers: More lights, 33 per cent; More men, 34 per cent; Improved communications, 30 per cent; and Other, 3 per cent. It should be noted tha_t the· security system's method of communication was changed this year and the new method is considered to be one of the best methods of communication available. Guards are now at the scene within 5 minutes of receiving a call. Lighting is also being improved. It also appears that part of the criticism of the security system lies in a misunderstanding of the role of the security force at Wilkes. The security force at Wilkes is mainly used to discourage any break-ins, assaults, etc. from happening. It is not the duty of the security force to . apprehend those involved. It is now school policy that if an intruder is found in a building, or an assault takes place, the students should notify the Wilkes Barre Police immediately and then notify security. This does not mean that the students should call the police every time they suspect something suspicious; they should notify security first unless there is something definitely wrong. It also appears that some of the weak security results from the students.

Peter Simp son �Page 2 November 8, 1973 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Security-Where Is Jf? • Sev~ral times over the past few years, the Beacon 's editorials have dealt with the problem of security on campus. Prowlers and exhibitionists have been reported on the Wilkes College campus, and women's resience halls have been broken into several times. Each time such an editorial appeared, the hope was expressed that security would be improved and that such incidents would not be allowed to occur again . Wilkes College was not alone; several other colleges have their own security problems and their respective campus newspapers also editorialized for better security. One such college is Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Events which took place there last week prompted the Muhlenberg Weekly to reprint an editorial they ran on May 10, 1973. The editorial reads in part: During this past year there have been a number of security problems on campus. One is constantly hearing tales of the 'gentleman with a flashlight' behind Walz Hall, and the 'Bikini man' who turns up everywhere. In the week before Easter, Brown Hall was only broken into twice ... the Weekly would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the need for a larger security force and express the hope that during the 73-74 academic year, we will see a reduction in this type of problem. As_is usual, the problem was not effectively dealt with, and last ':'eek an incident once .again brought the security problem to the forefront at Muhle nberg. On Monday night, a prowler was reported at two separate locations. Later on in the evening , a Muhlenberg senior was raped, the police believe, by the same man. It should be noted that the abduction of the senior took place in a well-lit area. The students at Mu hlenberg are again calling for better security and it is hoped that the problem will be lessened, if not solved, this time. The prowlers and exhibitionists have been reported again this year, here at Wilkes, and just a few weekends ago; two women's residence halls Chapman and Hollenback - were broken into on the same night. Again on the same night, a prowler was seen outside of Chesapeake Hall. It is a sad fact that such things can happen here on the Wilkes College campus. But we are lucky. We have not had to experience the terrible thing which ha ppened at Muhlenberg, but the potential is there. We must begin to work on the problem now, bef?re such an incident takes place. WRITE ON - - Baltruchitis Likes Beacon To the Editor: Congratulations on producing a fine Beacon thus far. If past editions are any indication of what is to come, I find it difficult to justify the gripes of students. Your November 1 edition was an indication that your staff had its finest hour this year. I look forward to your next edition. Edward Baltruchitis Assistant Dean Clarification Bv Auerbach The authors of the survey give me " the right to complain," but when I do voice my comments they object! The authors of the survey mention that I.D.C. should take action on issues " that the students obviously find intolerable." I would just like to call attention to the fact that I.D.C. has obtained free inter-campus phones and has given the individual dormitories the right to arrive at their own lounge hours. Both of these topics were issues in the survey. The reason for this rebuttal was simply to set the record straight and should not be construed as an attack on either the authors of the survey or on Student Government. If we, the students of Wilkes College and we members of the student governance organizations do not head th e feelings of the survey, th en progress will not be served. full Respect Y yours, Lee David Auerbach To the Editor : In reference to the letter "To the Editor" ·in your issue of Novem ber 1, 1973, entitled "Surveyors Retaliate," I " would like to clarify a point or two." To set the record straight, Inter Dormitory Council has not taken action in any form to show that it is · " dissatisfied with the results of the I survey." The I.D.C. article in the October 25 issue of Beacon, makes no mention whatsoever of any action To the Editor: taken by the council in regards to the This is in regard to Rich who was survey.

When Madame Prime Minister Meir spoke at the time, she was aware that the Soviet Union had agreed to send more sophisticated weapons to the Arabs - the SAM3s (surface-to-air missiles) and the more potent MIG23 jet fighter. Since then all this has taken place and the daily skirmishes in the air and with artillery across the Suez Canal have increased. The Russians with some reported 12,000 technicians and combat pilots and missile crews operat1ng in Egypt have become directly involved. While Madame Prime Minister Meir and her nation await the reappraisal of the situation regarding the possible unbalancing of power in the Middle East, she has reaffirmed to her country that the Israeli Air Force - one of the finest in the world on a pilot-for-pilot basis - will fight Russian pilots if necessary to hold the Suez Canal front. In a recent statement, Mrs. Meir said: "We do not seek opportunities to engage Russian pilots in combat ... but one thing we cannot forego and that is self defense. We shall have to do everything, with no consideration or regard for who is manning the planes, _when the need arises to protect our army and our lines, and with all that is involved in this. "We al'e not at war with the USSR. But if Russia sent pilots and they are flying and if they will cause us to fight against them in addition to the Egyptians, then we shall have no choice. "We are not looking forward to this, nor do we have any such plans. But if it should become necessary, then we shall not run away from our lines, we shall not concede our defense on account of whoever sits in the cockpits." Mrs. Meir and Israeli officials are determined not to be defeated ... not to lose that for which they have struggled so long - a nation in which they can live in peace. The preservation and development of the free State of Israel is foremost in the minds of every government official on down through the ranks of the civilian-soldier who is prominent on the streets of the major cities in his dust-covered battle fatigues and carrying his weapon at all times. To the average Israeli - the nation is there to stay and he fully intends to make sure of it. What is more evident is his confidence to do exactly that. The Six-Day War removed any doubts the Israelis might have had that they can be outstanding soldiers and military tacticians. The danger might instead be that it has instilled in them what could be an element of over-confidence - a somewpat dangerous thing in light of the more than $2.5-billion in modern weaponry which the Soviets have sent into the UAR since President Abdel Nasser and his forces were so badly defeated. At the end of that war, Russia was not exactly happy with the outcome, inasmuch as · an estimated $2.2billion worth of Soviet weapons had been either destroyed, captured or abandoned. From the USSR viewpoint, Nasser is a convenient tool precisely because his and Soviet policy closely converge, namely establishment of their joint hegemony over the area. Nasser has been the pace-maker and the USSR has faithfully supplied him with the wherewithal, applying its own provoking touch at the appropriate junctures - aiding and abetting him, fomenting discord among the Arabs themselves mobilizing the radicals against th~ moderates, and the Arabs generally against Israel. The result has been a decade-anda-half of conflict, carnage and wastage, reaching its highest point in May and June, 1967.

Harriers Finish Sixteenth ◄ Halfback Floyd Alderfer, was leading the MAC in rushing going into the Susquehanna tilt, averaging 4.6 yards a carry. The 6 foot, 195-pound junior has gained 476 yards on 103 carries. The Aggies have an experienced game-tested defensive unit with a number of standouts. A few of the key stoppers are Don Capone, a 5'11"-200 pound defensive end, tackle Al Bartlebaugh who tips the scales at 260 pounds, and defensive back Bob Fullerton. The only position that Delaware Valley lacks experience at is their linebacking crew, but they have improved with every game. The key to victory for the Schmidtmen will probably rest on the offensive units' effectiveness, but the .Mark Zavoy defense will have to do the job against the Aggies option offense, Participating in only their second and if their performance against Middle Atlantic Conference crossIthaca is any indication, the Colonels country championships, the Colonel may ~e in for a fight. harriers finished 16th in a field of 17 teams Monday at Philadelphia's With all things considered, the Fairmont Park.

Zavoy posted a 29: 19 clocking over the 5.0 mile Belmont Plateau course to better last season's best by Gary Horning of 31: 38.

Limited to seven runners in the varsity race, sophomore Wayne Bohn recorded a 33: 54 in the combined college-university junior varsity meet. This brought to a conclusion the Colonels third varsity season in intercollegiate competition. The charges of George Pawlush concluded with an 0-14 dual log but demonstrated constant improvement and optimism for the future.

Kiley, chairman of the board, announced a tuition increase at its meeting of October 19, 1973. The board consists of 34 members with President Francis J. Michelini also a member. ' Michelini, speaking for the board, ' announced that an increase of $150 to the present $1,850 for the 1974-75 school term. Despite the rise in tuition, there will be no additional cost levied on dormitory costs. Michelini stated, "We got by last year (1973-74) with no. additional costs by keeping administration, faculty, secretarial and janitorial help at a minimwn. We didn't raise the cost, yet we raised salaries. The raise in tuition for next year was a necessary thing." Michelini also explained what goes into a college education costs. "People don't realize that fuel, electrical, telephone and labor costs are all on the rise. All these costs must be figured into the cost of an . education." With the increase to $2,000 a year, this extra cost necessarily puts an added burden on the students who are trying to fund their education. Dr. Michelini, who is chairman of the Government Relations Committee of the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities (PACU) stated, "With the rise in education costs, we, along with all the colleges in Pennsylvania, are trying to get changes made in the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) program." ''The maximwn level of assistance from PHEAA at present is $1,200. They are recommending an increase to $1,800 maximwn. Also, the cutoff level for a student's family income is $15,000 and we are trying to get this figure increased to $20,000. All of this is an attempt to help the student counteract the rising cost in tuition." Looking back at tuition increases, the 1974-75 increase will be the first in three years. In 1972, an incrt;!ase was avoided because the college was not spending money during the summer due to the Disaster Aid Program which aided the college in cleaning up the debris left behine by the wrath of Agnes. There was also no increase in 1973, because as Michelini said, "We attempted to hold down the tuition level at all costs." When asked how much higher the cost of education will go before it' reaches its peak, Michelini answered, "No one really knows. With the cost of everything on the rise these days it necessitates an increase in tuition. However, if these changes I mentioned can be made in the PHEAA program, much of the burden will be lifted off the student. This is what we keep working toward." howing Of Catlin Paintings ... details on page 7 �Page 2 November 1, 1 THE BEACON WRITE ON Editorially Speaking 'You Gotta Believe ... ' - Tug McGraw, 1973 We would like to extend our congratulations to the 1973 edition of the Colonel football team. They pulled off a monumental task when they whipped a good Juniata grid 11, 25-15, last Saturday at Huntingdon. The Blue and Gold overcame many obstacles in winning th e "must" contest. First, they had to travel for three-and-a-half hours before ever stepping on the Juniata turf. Very often, this l.ong ride takes the "edge" off the football team, but this was surely not the case .last Saturday. Second, they had to rebound following an atrocious loss _u p at Ithaca only one week ago. In the 39-6 loss, the Colonels were completely outplayed, which even makes their rebounding .ability that much more fantastic. 'As Dr. Michelini put it so well, "It takes tremendous courage to bounce back after such a beating. These kids deserve a great amoun t of pra ise ." Third, t hey had to do what most people said couldn' t be done. They had to stop an unbeaten Juniata 11 who only three weeks before had whipped Ithaca by 14 points and ha'd cruised to its first six wrns. As is common knowledge now, the impossible occurred. Thanks to a defense which allowed the great Gary Shope only 91 yards passing, and a misleading team total of 232 yards on the ground, the "must" victory became a reality. As we mentioned, the 232 yards was misleading. With the exception of one big 52-yard run, the Colonel "D" held the Indians to · 180 yards rushing, which is a major task. This amazing defense also held tt)e triple-threat Shope to a mere 29 yards on eight rushes, well below his season level. Surely, the defense was spectacular, but let's not forget that offense that mis represented its title of "ineffective" last week. It was an offense that rolled up 168 - yards on the ground and another 164 in the air. More balance could not be asked for. It was an offense that banged out 16 first downs, and more importantly, it was an offense that had leadership and savvy for the first time in two games. We have to admit that we were a I ittle hesitant (Contin~ed on Page 4) Finkelstein Raps Listing To the Editor: Remember me?

Art Program A Fall Art Program will be conducted by the Wilkes College Art Department, under the sponsorship of Wilkes Community Effort ( WCE), an organization founded on the Wilkes campus to help flood victims through a grant from the Haas Community Fund. Rebecca Jost, WCE director and Henry Casilli, chairman of the Fine Arts Department, announced that the program will be conducted for high ·school students of Luzerne County on Saturdays from November 10 through December 15. Classes will not be held November 24 due to Thanksgiving vacation. High school students, grades nine through 12, are eligible to apply for acceptance. A limited number of students will be instructed in print-making techniques, with emphasis on color and design fundamentals. Art experience is not necessary.

Babies Don't be surprised if you are about to become a parent or grandparent around the year 2000 and the infant arrives in a test tube. Dt. James Bonner, famed biologist of the California Institute of Technology, predicts that within 20 or 30 years, infants will be conceived in test tubes on a mass scale. According to Bonner there are approximately 2000 human defects passed on from generation to generation, and the human race would die out through mutation, evolution, and selection if it did not learn how to circumvent' 'the genetic lottery." Dr. Bonner foresees a new morality emerging when people become accustomed to a stable population. "Since we will only have two children," he says, "let us endow those children not only with no genetic defects, but in addition, let them have the very best genes available."

Entir~ly self taught, Catlin developed skill as both a miniature pa~ter. in w~ter~olors and as a portrait pamter m oils. In 1824 he · was elected as an academician of the Pennsylvania Acad~myofFineArts, a select group of artISts of the day. In 1830 Catlin arrived in St. Louis where he gained the friendship of William Clark who with Meriwether Lewis had made the famous expedition to the Pacific Ocean from 1804 to 1806. Clark was SuperintendentoflndianAffairsatSt. Louis from 1813 to 1838. Catlin's introduction to painting the Indians of the plains came as a result of arrangements Clark made for him. Catlin spent from 1830 to ·1836 among the Indians of the West, travelling many times at the danger of his life in order to paint their portraits, their villages, their ceremonies. What he saw he recorded, visually and in writing. He was upset by the plight of the Indians and knew that the days of the red man were numbered. In addition to an "Indian Gallery" of his paintings, he conceived for himself a social and political mission - to become a spokesman for the redman whom he held in deep respect. He proposed a National Park west of the Mississippi where the Indians and buffalo would be left alone to roam,, where there would be no white fur traders to smallpox and other white rdan•s diseases, no whiskey and no cheap trinkets the white men used in exchange for skins. Catlin set up his "Indian Gallery" of 494 paintings and numerous types of Indian clothing and artifacts in New York City in 1838. Later he tqwelled with his Gallery' to Washington, Baltimore and Boston. Catlin later took his Gallery to EnglandandtoFrance where it was enthusiastically recei;ed. His dream however was to have the U.S. Go;ernment 'purchase his paintings. He was never to see this realized in his lifetime despite a number of strong spokesmen such as Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. His original collection was given to Joseph Harrison, a wealthy American, head of the Harrison Boiler Works in Philadelphia who paid off Catlin's European debts. After Catlin's and Harrison's deaths, the collection which included 445 paintings was given by Harrison's widowtotheSmithsonianinstitution. (twenty of this group are part of the SordoniArtGallery'sopeningshow.) In his late fifties, Catlin spent part ofhistimeinthereadingroomofthe Bibliotheque . Imperial in Paris. There he met another frequenter of the library who had delved into old Spanish volumes describing lost gold mines in the Crystal Mountains of Brazil. Catlin decided to goin search of the lost gold. When the search proved futile and his miner's tools were lost and broken, he began to paint Indians. Although the South American Indians were less friendly to him, he did succeed in painting 30 different tribes and numerous landscapes. (A number of this South American series, on loan from the National Gallery of Art, Paul Mellon Collection, is also to be seen at the Sordoni Art Gallery.) ~~~--""""--------<N~~~""""-""""¥-¥---~----___,;,N~N-~---...

NixonOur Present President The events of the past week on the national political scene scare us as American citizens. The release of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the ensuing resignation of Attorney Gener a I Richardson leaves the gap even wider between Richard Nixon and the American Pu blic. One now must look at all the circumstances that surround President Nixon. He is on the verge of having impeachment proceedings brought against him, the country is presently without a vice-president, thanks to some nifty economic work the 'dollar is worth less than it ever was, and the overall feeling toward Mr . Nixon is getting weaker by the day. We hear the answer, "Well, Watergate ha ~ happened in other elections, so Nixon is not completely wrong in doing what he did ."The reasoning behind this is absurd.

BUFFALO AT KANSAS CITY We could have another exciting Monday night contest here if both teams play to their full potential. This game is very important to Buffalo because they must realize they have an excellent shot at making the playoffs as the wildcard team, if indeed they can't catch Miami. Kansas City is definitely down after losing to Cincinnati last week, but a good football team erases the past and concentrates on the future.

In the past the Council acted merely as a unitive group towards students; however, this year the students may ·ng to court cases in rebutal to the college. Th! Counci,l consists of seven judges and a council clerk. Two members from the faculty, two members serve from the Dean's Council, and four mbers of the student body, including the clerk, are nominated by 6ttxlent Government and approved by the President of the college. This year's Council is --as follows: student members which rotate hairmanship are, seniors: Joe Iero, Paul Hunter, Bill Philips, and Junior lerk Ann Rapoch. The faculty is represented by Mr. George Elliot and Mr. ' Mistichelli, with Deans George Ralston and Linda Hobrock from the lllministration. Th! Judicial Council was formed ju_st three years ago replacing the Cowicil of Deans. The Council was a student initiated action that was voted oo by tre,students in 1970. It was their feeling that instead of being judged olely by the deans and faculty, a better Council would exist if students were judged by their peers. Th! Council is completely free to make its own decisions and has the ower from levying the least nominal fine to dismissing the student from hool in matters of discipline. Th! court hears a variety of cases pertaining to the guidelines for student comuctsetforth in the Student Handbook all of which are held in a closed ourt. Last year tl}ey heard cases of visitation violations, cafeteria risings, and destruction of college property along with parking iolations. This year the Council is trying to revamp their functional procedures and 'sdiction. Not only will they continue to work in a punitive light but will be open for students to present their cases about actions in which they felt hy received unfair punishment, such as: intellectual dishonesty, parking er damage fines, and violation of visitation policies. Very shortly the Cooncil will meet with Resident Deans Steve Placko and Lynn Janski, IDC President Lee Auerbach, Student Government President Pete Jadelis, and Commuter Council President Mike Stambaugh to draft the final plans. Th! Council this year will be of great help to the student in not acting as a ooe-sided force as it has in the past. Students who are summoned by the ourt that wish to use it in their favor, should be aware that it is a onstructive, strong governing group, and should be aware of its q,erations. . According to present chairman Joe Iero, "Judicial Council was formed is operating for the betterment of the student body. I would like to see ater participation and support from the students, so that the court can fuoction more effectively."

' The National Association of Manufacturers Education Department is offering a timely booklet, Public Education and Teacher Unions, consisting of five major articles by a task force of the Association, studying collective bargaining fo education. B. V. Thompson, Jr., chairman of the board, Texas Steel Co., points out that "the basic concern with large powerful government employee unions is the predictable impact on the electoral process." Ernst W. Farley, chairman of the board, Richmond Engineering Company, points out that the strike is principally an economic weapon and is "inappropriate to government employees." Henry R. B. Irish, board chairman and chief executive officer of The Times Spring Co., says that since the first major collective bargaining agreement in higher education in 1969, college faculties have become prime targets for organizing efforts. Dr. Harold V. Webb, executive director, National School :t;3oards Association, says the threat to management perogatives such as control of educational policy "shifts from the public's elected or appointed,lay representatives 1n the direction of the teacher union."

He must be aware of the students' wants and needs and do his best to answer them. Pete Jadelis, Student Government president, Mike Stambaugh, Commuter Council president and Lee Auerbach, Inter-Dormitory Council president all possess these qualities. Student Government Allocates Monies by Floyd Miller ~============- i======= This year, Student Government is presided over by Peter Jadelis, a senior economics and finance major from Kenilworth, N.J. Pete is beginning his third year in Student Government, having been recording secretary last year, and was a representative the year before . His other activities have included intramural sports , and he also enjoys surfing, water skiing, snow skiing, and other water, sports. On the subject Qf Student Government, Pete is very enthusiastic. He feels Student Government's biggest function is to allocate monies to campus groups and activities, whereas Student Governments are usually communication links between students and administration, and that's a ll. Socially, Pete feels that Student Government is very strong, sponsoring the Pocono Downs parties and films. This year , Student Government will try to save on parties, and will pass such __.savings to the students . A big difference this year will be the new Student Center at Church Hall . Upon completion of the Stark Learning Center, the first floor of the Student Center will mainly include lounge areas where students can socialize and do some light study , while alleviating the traffic in the Commons and the first floor of the library . This floor was painted during the summer by unpaid student volunteers . At the present , the basement, which will be a recreation room with pool, ping pong and pinball, is being dug out by student volunteers . The school will pay for what is required by Labor and Industry. Student Government will pay for the rest, including ele~tricity, heating, concrete and other construction costs. Figures will be released later this year. Academically, Student Government intends to · t· t t h 1 t· d d the mvesessentials iga e eac of er required eva uacourses IOn proce . Theures student an report done last year will be published this month. Pete is located on the second floor of Weckesser Hall and can also be reached at Extension 365. He invites anyone with helpful suggestions or questions on Student Government to call or come to see him. MIKE STAMBAUGH From their offices on second floor Weckesser they organize, plan, discuss, listen and act f the benefit of the student body. They have Student Government secretary Marily Cimahosky to help them. She does everything from organizing schedules to typing agenda Together as a group of student leaders or individually in their own organizations, th students work with determination to do the best job they can for the student body. IDC Book Features W-B Survival Tips by Marianne Montague . Lee Auerbach is very involved in his work as Inter-Dormitory Council president. He has been on IDC since he was a freshman. •He knows its problems and its potentials and he's interested in making the Council work for the student. Lee feels that IDC has three main projects this year . The first is the publishing of a discount and directory book . The purpose of the book is to advise both the dorm and day students on "How To Survive In Wilkes-Barre." It will list everything from " the cheapest dry cleaner" to "the location of state stores." The book is divided into four parts . The first is a list of all the students on campus , followed by a list of faculty ·extensions , the directory, and finally, a report of the discount policies of Wilkes-Barre stores. IDC plans to canvass the stores, explain Wilkes buying power , and request a college discount. Store ads and discount amounts will be listed in the directory . The IDC hopes to have this done by second semester . The directory will be distributed free . Lee also hopes that the IDC can do something about liberalizing dorm visitation regulations and the college food situation. Other projects include investigation of intramurals, innovation of insurance policies for theft, cultural evening programs , and the reworking of the constitution. Along with Commuter Council, IDC hopes to open a campus newspaper stand with daily newspapers and periodicals. Lee is an accounting major from Fair Lawn, New Jersey . He is also chairman of the Concert and Lecture Series, on the Executive Council of Student Government, Ad-Hoc Committee of the Board of Trustees, and Student Life Committee. He hopes to become a CPA and possibly go to law school. He feels that, "It's important that if students do have a gripe about anything, from the laundry machines in the dorms to lack of social activities on campus, that they air t_heir gripe to the correct person, not just their roommate ; that the student leaders have to be aware of the problems to get anything done, and they can't be aware unless the representatives do their part of the job." The IDC office is open Monday and Wednesday, 1 to 4: 30 p.m., Tuesday and Friday, 10 a.m . to 4:30 p.m., and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4:40p.m. Lee is in Butler 105, New Men's Dorm. Stambaugh Attacks Student Apathy by Marianne Montague One of the most concerned and active students at Wilkes is Mike Stambaugh, Commuter Council president. From his office in Weckesser Hall, Mike organizes the Council's work and plans its projects . Mike, a junior physics major, has been on the Council since its beginning in 1972. He feels that the Council should serve as a voice box for the commuter students and feels that its formation was natural, because Wilkes has IDC for the dorm students and Student Government for the entire student body . Mike feels that the Commuter Co1,mcil has "fantastic potential. " Presently the Council is working on the parking problem. On October 16 Mike had a meeting with the Parking Authority to discuss the rezoning of parking areas or possible commuter rates for plarking. The Council is also involved in social projects, such as the Commuter Council - IDC Christmas Party, combined card parties and coffee houses, and films. Mike 's pet project is the- organization of a Homecoming Bazaar, similar to the Cherry Blossom F'estival, to be held in the fall of '74. But Mike 's main concern at Wilkes is to do something ' about sttftlent apathy. The topic comes up repeatedly in his conversation and he states, " In my years at Wilkes I've seen many detriments to college life, but none so great as the ones students inflict on themselves - their own apathy. The only way that the college student can enjoy col1ege life to the fullest is to break out of his apathetic shell and get involved." Mike hopes to attend graduate school and become a research physicist. The Wyoming, Pa., native is also a member of the Russian Chorus. Mike hoeps to accomplish much in his work as Commuter Council president. He wants to solve the commuter problem and sponsor successful social activities . But above all, if Mike could do something to alleviate student apathy, he would really feel that he accomplished something. As leader of the Commuter Council, Mike would like to meet all the students he is governing. So, commuter students, if you have time, stop on the second floor of Weckesser Hall, back in the student offices, and meet the man who governs you. I'm sure you won't be let down. ?, 11111111111111111111111111111111111111■11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Ill 11111111111111 II II Ill I Ill Ill I Ill 111111111111111111111111111 IIIIIUIIIIII Ill Ill Ill 111111111111111111 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII IIIIIII IIII lll■III Ill 111111111111111111111111111 I Ill I Ill llllll Ill 1111111111111111111 �Page 5 THE BEACON Students Will Suffer Again' says SG President Jadelis Thinking Book Loan? · The Eugene Sheqden Farley Library is a member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Bibliographic Center Union Catalog.

Debbie feels that Susann, although she may appear dumb, is only really naive and is very easily scared. Although Susann idolizes Abigail Williams, she is also afraid of her.

Bob sees Danforth, the deputy-govFULL ernor of the colony, as a powerful figure who knows he has power because of his position and uses it. This power also makes him very proud and conceited and he feels that he knows more than anybody else. Danforth also can be cruel, assuming the defendent is guilty, but has no real taste for what is happening. Bob feels that the role is not as easy as it may seem, but is very intense.

By now it should be obvious that this " international language" is Latin. Did you realize that Latin was once the only language all educated men could write, and that there would have been no communication during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance had it not been for Latin ? • Wilkes College does not now offer Latin, nor do most high schools and small colleges. Latin, it is asserted, is a " dead language" that died with . the fall of the Roman Empire. Are the ideas of Kant, Descartes, and Swift dead, just because the men who had the ideas are dead? Dr. Jose Ribas has indicated his willingness to teach a course. in elementary Latin should a sufficient number of students wish to take such a course. The proposal has been made several times, but no student interest has been evident. Dr. Ribas is willing to try again. Are you interested in becoming a more educated person?

Pizza ( 12 Varieties) Hoagies Free Delivery PAUL'S PRO PICKS I'm not going to make excuses for last week's embarrassing performance,as far as my prognastications are concerned. I could attribute it to the unpredictable NFL season, and the fact that the favorites are being knocked off left and right. But I realize this is the coward's way out and instead, will blame it on my extreme conservatism in forecasting the grid contests for my six miscues last weeken~. From here on in, I am going to shake my bonds of conservatism and pick as I see fit. By the way, despite going 7-5-1, I did come out on top in my upset special ( if you want to call it that), as the Philadelphia Eagles downed the St. Louis Cardinals in the waning . seconds of the game. This is how I foresee the outcome of this weekend's grid encounters: BUFFALO AT MIAMI Both of these teams are tied for the divisional lead in the East in the AFC. Miami has played well on a number of occasions, but other times they seem to be erratic. Buffalo is a young team, but have come a long way in the last few years. Orenthal James Simpson is on his way to setting a new season rushing mark, with the offensive line doing a fine job. If quarterback Joe Ferguson can mix a decent passing attack with Simpson's running, I feel the Bills can pull off the upset. Buffalo 13 - Miami 10. N.Y. GIANTS AT DALLAS The Giants offense hasn't been moving the ball due to the absence of running back Ron Jonnson, but they are overdue. The defense is sound and capable of squelching the Dallas attack. New York 31 - Dallas 26. OAKLAND AT DENV.11.:K The Raiders are also having offensive problems, while the Broncos have a lot of promise and talent. If the Denver defense can sustain the Raiders' running attack and put their own offense into high gear, they possibly might come out on top. · Denver 20 - Oakland 7 OTHER GAMES THIS WEEK Atlanta 34 Detroit 26 Los Angeles 24 Cleveland31 Kansas City 21 Chicago 42 San Francisco 28 Minnesota 2 Pittsburgh 30 San Diego 28 Baltimore7 Green Bay 13 Houston6 Cincinnati 19 New England 18 New Orleans 14 Philadelphia 3 N.

I Gridders Face Ithaca "Wishbone" Saturday - by Paul Domowitch Coa'ch Roland Schmidt and his Wilkes College gridders will be looking for victory number fo ur this week, as they invade upper New ., York . to face the Ithaca Blue Bombers in an important non-conference fray. . Last Saturday in the homecoming contest against Upsala, Colonel grid fa ns saw the birth of an offense in the Wilkes a ttack , as the Blue and Gold point-scorers displayed plenty of talent and confidence in the vesper half of action. Chuck Suppon finally learned how to read tp e defense and Rodney "the Rocket" Smith, after several futile games of being run into the line, was given the opportunity to turn the corner, and did he ever accelerate .. SJ'l}.ith gained almost 80 yards on the ground on only 15 carries. The defense gave up 214 yards rushing but still played well despite some unsure tackling. Halfback Fred Marianacci and linebacker Rich Lack, picked off two aerials apiece; Lack taking one in for a 61 yard touchdown jaunt. Overall, the Colonels looked a lot better than they did a week earlier against Moravian, and indeed they must if they have any hope of beating Ithaca and highly touted MAC leader Juniata in the next two weeks. Let's take a look at this week's opponent, the Ithaca Blue Bombers. Roland Schmidt Ithaca College's chances for a third straight winning football season under head coach Jim B~tterfield, will depend heavily on the perfo rmance of its offensive line . The lthacans lost six of their seven starters from the offensive line through graduation, but Butterfield has some excellent prospects available to fill the gaps, including several vew faces from last year's undefeated junior varsity team. The Bombers appear solid on other fronts and have 18 returning lettermen on their roster. Ithaca 's entire ·starting offensive backfield returns. Last year the lthacans displayed a powerful ground game by gaining a record 2,225 yards in nine games. A strong defensive unit, including an experienced front four, will keep the Bombers quite respectable. Only three members of the defensive unit were lost through graduation. We like the Colonels in this one, now that they have an offense. Whether or not it was a flash in the pan performance is yet to be seen. I see it : Wilkes 22 - Ithaca 13 GO FREDDY GO - Spirited Colonel defensive back Fred Mari rambles for a big gain after picking off an Upsala aerial. Leading the w Marianacci is Dave Check. Wilkes won the contest, 32-7. , by Donna Doncses Richard Colandrea Roger Danbury, senior co-captain of the 1973-74 Wilkes College Soccer team, speaks with an air of confidence as he predicts that the blue and gold kickers should winJhe majority of their remaining games. They are now 4-3-1. The Trenton, N.J. fullback majoring in Business Administration, is a four year letterman and sees this year's team as the best team skill wise that he has seen at Wilkes. Danbury made his decision to enter Wilkes during his senior year in high school when he was scouted by the college. He visited the school and found the people a nd the atmosphere here to be very friendly, so he decided to a ttend. The six-foot, 175 pounder, who wears number 18, is complemented at fullback by two fine players in junior J erry Blade and sophomore Tommy Trost. When asked about the team's strength, he laughed and appropriately replied, " the defense , Roger Danbury the fullbacks. " He also added that newly acquired goalkeeper, junior Don Mock, will be a big help to the team. When practice began in early September , just about enough players to field a team were on hand, but since then the squad has grown to 22 players. The major problem fa cing this yea r 's tea m is depth . Quite a few of the members have not played orga nized soccer before, but After being defeated by both lAlbright and Kutztown State, the Colonelettes rebounded with vengeance to trounce Bloomsburg State, 2-0, Thursday afternoon. · The first half went scoreless, with each team matching their opponent's efforts. Early in the second half, Wilkes gained offensive control and kept it through the game. Coach Meyers credits the win to her players being game , despite the handicap of in top physical condition and having to play a new position.

Marivita Saleski scored the first both sides of the field proved to be a goal on an assist from Penny positive factor in helping the Bianconi, while Sue Funke scored Colonelettes stay on the attack for the other on a corner hit from most of the second half.

The Colonelettes ' record is now what combinations of players will work best together to achieve her 2-3-0. Their next home game will be today at 4 p.m., where they will host goal of another winning season. Elle~ Schwartz played a fine Mansfield State . are out and are working extremely hard to perfect their skills. Dan~ury pointed out that the team's outlook at the outset of the season was _not a positive one, but now the reason he predicts such a successful finish is because of the great team spirit that the players are starting to show-everyone wants to play. About the soccer program here, Danbury states that Wilkes has had a problem recruiting players since no athletic scholarships are available, which makes the better players look elsewhere to play soccer .Also, soccer is just starting to make its way into Wyoming Valley, with only a handful of teams. Once soccer is played on a full-scale basis in the Valley, Wilkes will be able to draw many talented players from the surrounding areas. He also commented that the start of an intramural program in soccer might uncover some talented players. Roger Danbury will be the only senior booter lost to graduation next June, but after his soccer career at Wilkes, Danbury will kick for the Ukranian Americans, a semi-pro team in the Trenton area. He is also looking to wprk in industrial relations. This June, Coach Tom Rokita, will lose a very dedicated player; that of Roger Danbury. Soccermen Clobber Stevens Tech Homecoming proved to be very fruitful for the Wilkes College soccer team, as they evened their seasonal log at 3-3-1 with a 5-0 victory over Steverts Tech Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field. Sharing offensive plaudits for the Blue and Gold were Stellios Patsiokas and George Bene Roane with two goals apiece. John Chakmakas was credited with the other score. Wilkes shot off to a 3-0 halftime lead and never looked back as they produced one of their finer outings of the yea Sports Quiz 1.

Surely a Wilkes soccer victory merits more space than Paul Domowitch's Pro Picks. Fred Murty's victory is more important to us than the leading Beacon forecaster.

A special course at Johns Hopkins University here includes filling out your death certificate, planning your funeral, visiting a mortuary and touring the state morgue. · Texts include "Death and the Modern Man" and "The Meaning of Death." The 24-year-old instructor for the graduate-level course on death is the head of the Religion and Philosophy Department.of Baltimore's Cardinal Gibbons High School. Stephen J. Vicchio, who taught a similar course last year . at the Baltimore County campus of the University of Maryland, said when he was five years old all the power went off in his home and then news of his grandfather's death came. "Thereafter, I associated darkness and mystery with death," he said, adding that he continued to have unhealthy thoughts about death until he picked up Dr. Elizabeth Subler-Ross' book "On Death and Dying" in 1970. "It started building until now I am really involved," he said. Vicchio said very few persons come to the class out of morbid curiosity ..Most attend "because they really have fears, misgivings and apprehensions about death," he said. "Certainly there are a lot of people like that. I still have a lot of fears. It helpsmetohelpthem," Vicchio said. " There are some that have come to accept death and come here to share that." ., About 20 students meet each Tuesday evening in a basement . classroom in Gilman Hall to discuss such practices as cannibalism and the modern American funeral and such philosophical questions as afterlife.

Chwalek Advises Upcoming Graduates On Employment College seniors were strongly advised to start now if. they want to have a job by the time they graduate in May. The advice was given to a large segment of the more than 500 students in the upcoming graduating class at Wilkes College during the annual i employment briefing program held at the Center for the Performing Arts. Handing out the words of emplo~ent wisdom to the seniors was veteran college placement director, John Chwalek, who has been telling Wilkes seniors how and where to get jobs for the past quarter century. "Students have to meet the never ending competition ...they should seek employment where the jobs are offered, and not rely on a position in their hometown," Chwalek announced. The placement office secur~ contacts with business firms and school districts, arranges interviews with the prospective company, and for the graduates, offers-vocational counseling. Though the placement office tries to ,assist the seniors with proper qualifications and recommendations for a company, it is primarily up to the student whether he or she is hired. ''Our office is only the 'go-between' in relation to the student and industry. It is the student's respo nsibility to be accepted or not, " stated the placement director. The interview is the student's tool in the acquisition of employment. Their foremost objective during an interview is to convince the man that they want to work. Promptness, courtesy, directness of response, and proper dress are also determinants in being hired for a job. For seniors to secure interviews, they are required to register with the placement office by completing a qualification record fo appointment with Chwalekis visable to discuss any p plans or problems.

Let the records show that we polled 10-3 this time, giving us an overall record of 34-16-2. I had a lot of comments thrown at ·m e about our upset pick, most of them challenging my sanity. But, I thought the Chargers could pull it off, in what has to be a very unpredictable NFL season. Our only other two miscues were going with Baltimore in the New England-Colts contest, and favoring Chicago in their battle with the lowly New Orleans Saints.
