It is a Iways easy for those not involved in such activities to be critical at times by failing to recognize that such service . is an extra curricular activity performed by students learning to develop the skills of journal'ism. My letter is not intended to be critical of the re PO r t·mg or wn·t·mg of the Iea d a r t ·IC I e ·m th e September 27 issue which described the work of the admissions office and the general discussion of programs and reasons for student selection of the College. However, the sub-title indicating that enrollment is stable should be clarified. We are indeed running contrary to state and n~tional trends where enrollment losses in many private colleges in Pennsylvania are averaging 10 per cent and where community colleges and state institutions are also experienci_ng severe sh if ts in enrol Im ent patterns. "fhe final figure·s for Wilkes enrollment this semester are somewhat below 2300 full .:'time day s1udents. This figure represents drop of approximate! y 5 per cent · from last year's enrollment and is considerably lower than r(light have been expected. . The reasons for enrollment changes are complex and range from varying attitudes of the general public with respect to the value of higher education to a post-draft situation, a changing market situation for graduates, and most significantly a changing financial situation for students as costs increase and sources of funding decrease. At Wilkes in particula-r, where73 per cent of our students receive financial aid, the decision to pursue opportunities in higher education is frequently linked to the nature of the financia I aid package available to students. There has been considerable nationa I concern expressed by educators about the shift in the nature of federal 'student a id and 1he changes in crite. ria· being employed in the evaluation of eligibility for such aid. Our financial aid officers have been reevaluating all aid packages and sources of aid to enable us to .accurately assess the needs of students in I ight of constantly changing criteria .

She feels that Wilkes dorms, which are comparable to houses, create a better atmosphere for living as opposed to the high-rise dormitory where she worked in North Carolina.

That puts us at 24-13-2 for the season, but things are looking up (we hope). We thought Denver had the manpower and talent to overcome tough Chicago, but we were incorrect and the Bears steamrollered their way to victory. Other miscues this week included the Green Bay-Minnesota contest where we mistakenly went with the Pack, San Francisco's loss to the Rams, the Jets embarassme'lt by the Buffalo Bills, and Kansas City's stunning victory over the Oakland Raiders. Well, so much for the past, the future is now, as George Allen would :my. MINNESOTA AT DETROIT This black and blue division contest should really be a good one with both teams coming off impressive wins. Chuck Foreman, tfie Viking's tremendous rookie running back has put the finishing touches on a fine offensive machine. Detroit can also put points on the board, but they are just a little weak on defense. They are using two rookies in their secondary, one of them, Dick Jauron of Yale, hadn't played defense since high school until last week. We see it-Minnesota 14, Detroit 13.

While tuition continues to rise, it seems nothing is being done about this serious dilemma. The problem is two-fol.d. Last year, the administration offered a possible solution · in that students would be able to park their cars across the river at Ralston Field and have shuttle buses take th.em to and · from the · campus. The only reply to this solution was, "I 'II take my- chances on finding a spot on .campus." The problern is when they say "chance" - that's jusJ what it is. The students' reaction to th is very possible solution was one of total disconcern. It was like the old adage," I've never tried it, but I know I don't like it." The total burden cannot be put on the students, though . It is the opinion of many that the administration need not worry about a parking problem because it doesn't affect them. There are plenty of lots on campus for administration and faculty . If this is the case, it is surely a selfish act. Perhaps the most feasible answer is to ask students to ride the mass transit, rather than bring their car to and from school every day. To alleviate some of the cost, the college could rent buses, or students cou Id receive reduced rates when riding the buses . Of course, the students wouldn't have the freedom that they en joy when driving a car to and from the campus~ but the headache of parking would be done away with. Unfortunately, mass transit doesn't reach · everyone, but it does reach enough to lighten the burden. The above-mentioned is only a possible solution . and should not be looked upon . as gospel. It is written only to stir upsome int~rest in this serious situation. It is our hope that at least by the time the present freshman class leaves this institution, the parking problem will be gone.

Dr. Farley gave the following advice on looking at a college education. These are truly the words of a great man. "Within the past 50 years, more changes have occurred in the world than have heretofore occurred in the past 1000 . years. During the next 50 years you will see changes that will, in all likelihood, be far greater than those of the past 50 years. One of your great tasks will be to adjust your thinking to this new world so that you 'may participate constructively in the unknown problems that will confront you. "You cannot live productively in this emerging world by adhering to long-accepted practices. If you are to live creative I y, it will be necessary for you to gain a full awareness of _what is taking place about you. Only with such, understanding can you hope to adapt yourself to a changing society, and only through understanding can you hope to direct the forces of science and technology so that institutions can be mod_ i fied to adequately meet the needs of men in l.ime of change. Un less your generation makes up its mind that our stru ctures of production and government will serve men; these organizations may become so rigid as to obstruct the development of essential services . ,_, If you are to meet the challenges of the future, you will require great vision, dedicated " ' efJort and personal involvement. Whe1reas my /1 generation and others have been frequently blamed for the problems that exist today, I would suggest that these are the products of man's intelligence, ingenuity and stupidity. Science and technology have changed our world but our minds have not changed as rapidly as has our way of life. Your challenge will be to sustain the ideals upon which our civilization is based and to preserve the best of our institutions while abandoning those segments of our institutions which are not relevant to the emerging conditions. 1 "Men have never been confronted by greater challenges.

" , / MICHAEL STAMBAUGH, iresident of Wilkes· College Commuter Council : "The passing of a noble man leaves an aching void in the hearts and spirits of those who knew and loved him. "The Commuter Council wishes to express their deepest sorrow for the passing of a noble man, Dr. Eugene S. Farley." · September 21, 197~ THE BEACON Page 6 ARTHUR J. HOOVER; director of alumni relations and student activities: "One of Dr. Farley's greatest joys was his opportunity to renew acquaintances with former students and alumni - and his influence was felt by thousands of Bucknell and ' Wilkes alumni who referred to him affectionately as "the Old Man" and "the Great White 1;Father. " . . ' 'Having worked most closely with him during his two years as Chancellor, I recall v~vidly the satisfaction he showed every time I walked across the hall into his office and told tum of an alumnus who had just received a promotion, an alumnus who was getting married, an alumnus who had become a proud parent. He considered all alumni as close friends and a · vital part of the Wilkes College family . "And probably the most meaningful feeling for Dr. Farley which has been expres~ed consistently by former students is that although one may not have always agreed with hlffi, . he just naturally won your respect, admiration and loyalty." JR., Di\ VID K. BICKEL, who worked with Dr. Farley on founding radio station WCIB: " It had been no special day - September 17, 1973, except for the silent passing of a Quaker. He was more than a Quaker, he was a font of inspiration, a mental giant, a do~ of impossible deeds, a wielder of an unholy sword- he was a silent Leviathan of a man. I did not know him well - if I did, I could not be so dispassicmate or impersonal. He was a_man who did what he so often dreamed. He created an educational institution where none existed before, nor likely could exist. "Through his efforts and pleadings, he fired the hearts of many influential men who aspired to help make his dream a reality . In fifteen shoi:t years he took a conglomer?tion of homes, a handful of faculty, and a sparse group of students and made a college that could give back to the community the benefit of an education for its youth, which could never before have been achieved . "Through his determination he beat into shape, !ricked and mortared, planned and gained support for his life-long goal of imparting an education to a valley he loved and respected so dearly , He was a firm father image unseen on the modern campuses of today, unheard of in the halls of the modern university. More than that, he was a man : a most fallible man. He made mistakes as do all men. But unlike the common man, he asplired to goals thought untenable by many, and foolish by some - unlike common men he succeeded where they would not even tr.:y. He, along with his very capable and understanding wife, worked with their entire mental and physical vigor to meet the high goals they set for themselves. "He made many enemies. Yet even his enemies recognized the total commitment to excellence he attempted to impart. His deeds are too numerous, his biography too lengthy, his life - far too short. Friend or enemy must respect this Quaker for what he was a,nd always will be in their memories; in all he has left as gifts to those minds and hearts which strive to gain wisdom through understanding of their fellow man.' "A Quaker silently passed today and left behind him echos which will long reverberate as examples in the minds of all men who aspire to reaclrtheir dreams - to aid their world.

It was reported that there were 49,000 empty seats scattered throughout the NFL ball parks &mday, compared to 29,000 all of last season. I have a feeling that wien Congress reviews the situation at the end of the season, they may have second thoughts about the blackout bill.

You people, the coming leaders of our society, enter this institution just one after it was nearly destroyed by the wrath of Agnes. Perhaps the correct line would be, "What a difference a year makes! One year ago _ l ast Sunday, President Richard Nixon presented to Dr. Michelini a check for $4,000,000 . Anyone who saw the cam pus Last June2 4 and looks at it today can see the money was spent in a correct fashion. "Operation Snapback," as the effort of cleanup was cal led, was a most successful maneuver. The name, given by a group; of the early arrivals on campus, represented an all -out effort on the part of the entire Wilkes family to pull together and overcome this nearly fatal blow. Now, as we look back over the disaster of 15 months ago, we see the harvest of some very difficult work. The new Carpenter Stark Learning Center is proceeding, the library is rapidly recovering from $500,000 dama,ge and the Center for the Performing Arts is nearly back to normal again. It is up to the Class of 1977 to join in this family that has shown so much zeal and interest and to bec_ome an integral part of it. Th is was the spirit which _g reeted you in the fall of 1973, and it is the same spirit with which we hope you can leave Wilkes - a more complete indi vi dual because of it .

It will be a broad combination of many things." This was the welcoming message extended to some 600 freshmen and approximately 100 transfer students and their parents by President Francis J. Michelini as he greeted the members of the class of 1977 in the ,_. -Dr. Michelini was introdu,ced by · Dean of Student Affairs George F. Ralston, who opened the program in the morning by extending his own personal message to • the new members of th~ Wilkes College family. The Wilkes College president told the audience that, "We are what we are because of what we ha-.e been taught. Our lives are not necessarily related to physical time. We exist in a world shrunken in size, but grown in complexity. We are well informed but suffer certain misconceptions." The new students were reminded by the Wilkes president that man is a member of the bidogical system . ."The uniqueness of rnan is his ability to lecrn, a_ nd transmit knowledge through books," President Michelini said. "Man has the unique God-given capacity to learn. He has intellect and free will which allow him to learn and make choices within our system. He has an understanding of good aid evil which defies definition. "The failure to utilize this intellect is a failure as a human being, and it relegates ourselves to the animal _level. It is the exercising of this unique intellectual capacity that makes us man. You are the sum of what you have learned through your parents, your ochool, books, television, newspepers and magazines." Drawing upon the college's motto, "U nity amidst diversity," President Michelini told the new students that Wilkes will become a part of their individual learning experience. It will be a broad combination of many things. If- this were not a period of some uncertainty, we would not be human. Your presence is a fact of your willingness to sacrifice for the sa<e of a new learning experience." The Wilkes College President concluded his welcoming address by extending every good \Nish for success to the students during their four years at Wilkes College. And he closed by saying, "The ability to learn must be paramount in all we see and do. This is a period of intense development. You are permitted the luxury of total emergence in the learning experience. The goal of Wilkes is, therefore, to provide the diversity and resources, allowing for the maximum development of ability in the learning experienoo." The program was under the chairmanship of Wilkes students Jacqueline Pickering and Kathy Mansbury. Financial aid information was provided by Richard Raspen , di rector of financial aid .

But it was also just a beginning and a hopeful note for the future as the seniors leave Wilkes College, prepared to enter life in the outside world. Remember: "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life ." Th e Flood Recovery Task For ce an organization of local civic l eaders formed immediately after the flood waters began to recede during last. June 's disaster played a promin-ent role in the testimony given last week to the U.S . Senate Subcommittee on Disaster Legislation. The distinguished group, headed by Senator Quentin Burdick mN .D. l, conducted two days of hearings - at the Center fo r the Performi ng Arts at Wilkes College. Andrew J . Sordoni III, chairman of the Flood Recovery Task Force, designated F ederal Judge Max Rosenn, first president of the same Task Force , and Andrew Shaw, Jr ., executive director of FRTF and director of the Wilkes College . Institute of Regional Affairs, to speak for the group. Both Judge Rosenn and ::ihaw delivered prepared ,reports on the operation and observations of Flood Recovery Task Force from its inception to present day. Shaw's report i ncluded statements and--0r information from others whOl were invi ted to testify before the subcommittee. These reports were attributed to the following persons who served as chairmen of Flood Recovery Task Force Committees : Results of the recent Beacon straw poll conducted on Edward Schechter (Transportaeffectiveness of the Wilkes College Student Government tion) , Thomas Kiley (Plans and indi~ated that a good percentage of those individuals reached either did not have sufficient knowledge of the workings of Development) , and Harold Rose (Legislation and Equity).

More information is available multinational businesses have on the employment of U.S. workers. . m Eastern ticket and reservation Recent government and university studies show that many American fices .. firms with overseas plants increase their domestic employment -faster than firms with no foreign operations. This is because companies with overseas plants are able to increase their exports and compete more effectively with foreign companies than strictly domestic firms. These same studies estimate that close to a million new jobs have been created in the United States directly as a result of American investments outside the U.S. during the past 10 years. Another benefit from foreign investments by U.S. firms is to keep American products competitive in world markets. They also (believe it or not) provide vital funds for investment in the U.S. A recent study of 83 companies with foreign operations found that about half of every after-tax dollar returned to the U.S. is invested in new plants and equipment here at 3-2352. home. Since it takes an average of more than $25,000 of investment to provide one job in industry, these investment dollars are enough to create more than 200,000 jobs in our country. Still another benefit of multinational operation is that it promotes continued world peace. War is less likely between nations engaged in Anew column entitled " IN ONE mutually beneficial trade.

" And fading strongly for the better part of the last 2½ years, and about to vanish, is this old editor . This is it; .the day I get my release from Prism. · Charles Dickens must have been a sports editor once; otherwise, he never would have written, "It was the worst of times; it was the best of times ." The worst of times came in droves; overextended absolute deadlines, typist unavailability at do-or-die junctures, heatless wintry afternoons at the Beacon office, the mysterious Steve Adamchak photo popping up in a Spotlighting Pat Ratchford article, heartbreaks and tragedy on the athletic fields, misspelling of names (right, Gary Gieschen? Giechen? Geeshun?), uninterviewable interviewees, general misinformation, and Marietta's coffee and Mr. Moran's humor. But the best of times also came in droves; contacts with super coaches, athletes, managers, and staff members, innumerable MAC championship teams, the Beacon somehow unbelievably in its Thursday morning finished product form, and the " hearty gratitude" expressed by folks like Greg O'Brien for a Spotlighting he considered well . . . well, at least,.considered. Through it all, C01'}plaints have been sparse. "Sports are OK, no matter how abominably handled," seemed to be the readers' theme . But one group of guys weren't about to take a chance. In "Coward's Corner" they employed the pseudonym Coward Hosell just in case reader reactions got too violent. But cowards they weren't, as they repeatedly - much to Joe Skvarla's chagrin - "told it like it was. " Their names now revealed: Mark Anderson and John Maziola (second semester) and John Pisano (first semester) . • And how can I forget the rest of my staff who have been as loyal as the night is dark? (Although sometimes it seemed like the land of the midnight sun around here. ) F-irst the Chesapeake paragons of punctuality; Laraine Mancuso and Dorma Doncses. In hockey Laraine was good as goalie, but her writing was " good as goldie, " while Donna could really "wing it" in both . Then there was Irish Ray McNulty whom I've always wanted to get into the Prism, because a colorful Ray in the Prism will always break things up. There was Ron Noyalis , an ex-serviceman whose services were anything but brand X and 1 Rich Colandrea, rich in sports knowledge . But now I discharge my duties to Paul Domowitch who, though a Yankees' and a Celtics ' fan, in my opinion , promises to overcome such deficiencies to develop into an excellent editor. Paul , by the-way, just happens to be an English major . I've served my ter ms (and they 've been rejected by many), now Paul will do his thing. Looks like no relief for "big word" loathers . This being my final Sports Prism "glass pack" boomer, I'd like to make amends for all of the horrible injustices I may have wreaked, and wish next year's staff, headed by "Diamond" Jim Torbik, best of luck, leaving them with a motto by which I've tried to gear my life, "Good, better, best, never let it rest; until your good is better and your better is the best." And now, time to vanish . . . Poof! STICKMEN DEFEAT KUTZTOWN STATE Wilkes College lacrosse Colonels overcame a 4-1 first period deficit to bomb Kutztown State, 14-4, at the Bears field. The triumph made some atonement for an earlier 8-7 loss to the Kutztown squad at Ralston Field. Chief architect of the Wilkes victory was sophomore attack Vince Krill, who set a new Colonels season scoring record with a brilliant five-goal, two-assist performance. Krill, a native of Lincoln Park N.J ., increased his personal cam: paign stats to 30 points 04 goals, 16 assists ) surpassing Bill Winters total of 27 last year. Colonels , now 5-2-1, still have two games remaining with Bucknell on Tuesday and the Harrisburg Lacrosse Club on Saturday. Both contests will be decided at Ralston Field. While Krill stole most of the offensive show, six other Blue_and Gold players also broke into the scoring column. Sophomore Gary Geischen registered a three-goal hat trick and also tallied an assist. Others included Dick Mandigo, two goals and an assist ; Craig Deacon , one goal and one assist ; and Jay Rubin, Jim Rodda , and John Rice, single goals apiece. Goalie Don Mock had an outstanding · afternoon, coming on with 18 saves in the crease. Al Regner had four in a relief role.

Frank, a linebacker on the football team and a catcher for Coach Domzalski 's diamondmen has been a starter on both squads since sophomore year . The senior history major began his athletic·career at Nanticoke Area School. He earned eight letters during his four-year tenure at Nanli a~hieving All-Scholastic status in baseball and football his junior and years . After matriculating to Wilkes , Frank showed Colonel grid fans the a ability that earned him tryouts with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins of the National Football League. During his senior year, Frank earned All-ECAC (Eastern Coll Ahletic Conference ) honors , as well as being selected to the All-State joing some other capable performers including Bruce Bannon and Hufnagel of Penn State University. Despite this recognition , Frank was overlooked when it came to sel the MAC All-Star squad this year, which really has to make sane wonder. Frank is currently student teaching at Lake Lehman High School after graduation , plans on entering the teaching profession and coaching. He will stay active on the gridiron playing semi-pro ball wi Hartford Knights. Wilkes College will be sorry to see big Frank leave in June. But they as does this scirbe that he has the potential to make it big in the pros.

In those four years I have seen the football team that had the 1 winning streak in the nation, a wrestling team that does not seem to basketball team that finally made the MAC playoffs, a soccer team gave E'town a run for the MAC championship, and the lacrosse "co~e into_ its own." Thi_s is nothing new to most people on this campus that 1s how 1t should be, but that is not my main concern in the writing of article. In those same four years I have also seen alot of changes in the a program for women, changes that most people on this campus know little about. When I first started playing sports as a freshmen I found that it was impossible to get any kind of coverage on the sports page of the Beacon if you wrote it YO\lrself. We had a nine-game schedule in basket~ basketball and hockey teams shared the same uniforms that were they were falling apart, no one knew that there was such a thing Letterwomen Club , no woman student sat on the athletic committee there was no spring sport for women . . Now at the end of my senior year , I can say that the women's a program has come a long way since my freshman year. As to coverage in Beacon, well , this article shows how that has changed. Not only do we coverage in the Beacon , but sp"1-ts information even gets us into the papers . The basketball schedule has grown to 13 games, the hockey basketball teams each have their own new uniforms, the Letterwomen is well known, and for the pa st two years a woman athlete has sat on Athletic Committee. All of the acheviements for the womens program are a step forward the two biggest steps came when the women entered the Susquehanna Hockey Association and the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate A for Women . With the entrance of Wilkes into these programs a woman has the opportunity to become an All-American and a Wilkes team could becom e a regional or na tional champion . So fa r Wilkes has placed players on the Honorable Mention list fo r the SFHA. · Along with all these changes there has been a noticeable change in attitude of the students toward women who participate in sports. Nol are women athletes " strange ;" people are realizing that an athlete· athlete who works hard at their sport whether they are male or fem All of these changes are great, and I am gald that I could be a foem. but thines still need t.o he chaneed. The women 's basketball team gets thrown out of the gym a half hour early to allow men 's intramur the hockey team plays on a field that is too narrow and i~ not exactly the tennis team does not get nearly enough practice time, and them allotted for women's sports is meeting the bare minimum for the run · a team. If Wilkes is going to have a women 's program that keeps up with ther the colleges in the country, then the program should start changing It should be remerpbered that honor is brought to the Wilkes Blue Gold, regardless of whether it is worn by a man or a woman. �Page 7 THE BEACON olonel Diamondmen Finish On Sour Note inghamton lanks Team by Paul Domowitch Vilkes College baseball team edits season on a losing note esday , dropping a tough 2-0 to Binghamton State more hurler , Paul Hughes ged with his third loss of the• despite a sparkling mound ance that included twelve uts . olonels finished their season 8-6 record.

COLONELETTES TRIUMPHANT LOCKERROOM CHATTER by Paul Domowitch The New York Knicks surprised this scribe last Thursday, when they.beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA championship finals. After finishing second to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern division, they knocked off Baltimore, the Celts and L.A. in succession. It's a good thing they won in Los Angeles Thursday because without Dave DeBusschere, who severely injured his ankle with eight minutes to go in the game, they would have been very vulnerable in the remainder of the series. Coach Red Holtzman has a tremendous rebuilding job ahead of him as both DeBusschre and Bill Bradley are scheduled to retire . Dollar Bill will head into politics while DeBussc)lere will take an executive position, hopefully in professional basketball. I was a little disappointed as I'm sure a lot of people were when Channel-16 cut short the post-game festivities after the Knick's victory. It's always exciting to see champions bask in the glory they so richly deserve. Instead, we were treated to an "enlightening" editorial by Channel-16 news director Bob Carroll au in the morning . · ++++ BY Laraine Mancuso and Uonna Doncses The Wilkes College Women's Tennis team closed its first season on Wednesday by defeating Bloomsburg State College by a score of 3-1.

The political science major, who hails from Lincoln Park, N.J., is a product of Boonton High School where he played lacrosse for four years, being a two-time ALLSTATER and captain. . Krill is one of six players in the past two years to play lacrosse for Wilkes via Boonton High School. The New Jersey school sent some of the · best lacrosse players to Wilkes . At Boonton, some of the best lacrosse in New Jersey is played. Since his coming to Wilkes, the team has risen from a 2-7 record to a 7-2 record last year, and they are currently 5-2-1. At 5'10", 165 pounds, he thus far is the.team leader in total points (32), 14 goals and 18 assists, averaging about two goals a game. He also holds the school record for most goals scored in a game and is the team all-time leading scorer. When asked about the team 's performance thus far and in the remaining games, he replies, "I thought the team played a fine game against Muhlenberg and Kutztown, and we have to play the same caliber to defeat Bucknell, who play nationally ranked teams and are an excellent squad. The results will already be in by the time this article appears, but in order for us to win, everybody has to play up t9 expectation." , ·, Wilkes probably will not participate in any post season invitational tournaments because, as Krill puts it, "The invitations are mostly political and we're a small school so · we go unnoticed even though we are better than a lot of teams invited." The last game of the 1973 season will come on May 19 when Wilkes hosts the Harrisburg Lacrosse Club. Gametime is 2 p.m . As far as this year 's teams ' capabilities go, Vinnie points out that, "We had the capabilities of going undefeated this year, but the loss of Bill Winter , Steve Moscone and Tony Cardinale forced many sudden adjustments ." The capabilities of Vinnie Krill are very evident and there is a good chance next year he will combine his talents with those of his teammates to make Wilkes even stronger in lacrosse .

And more th ings ca me t o my atte ntion t hat cause me concern or give me inform ation.

The words were those of the late John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. Today the press, be in national , international , campus o r orga n ization, is facing a dil emma where powers that "be" in the admin istration are seeking t o deter the rights given to newsmen and citizens al ike by t he First Amendment t o t he Const:itution. Since America has first been conceived as a nat io n, o ur fo und ing fat hers have realized that· one of t he most important rights was freedom of the press. For without this freedom, no one coul d be checked and no one would be able to real ize just what is going on around them. The campus press often faces a uniqu e d ilemma as it is hi t from all sides - adm inistration, faculty , students, and the Student Government. On the Wilkes College campus there has been a running yearly animosity between the Student Government and the campus newspaper. It has been suggested that it should become a policy for the Beacon to play a little " politics" and try to get along with the Student Government. With all due fa irness to the current Student Government which has made an unprecedented effort to understand the role of the campus newspaper, we sincerely feel that it is not the rote of a campus paper to appease any governing body on campus. We make mistakes just as any other organization on campus makes mistakes and where the mistakes start to affect the student body we intend to report them as such. If the press is supposed to be the watchdog of society and government and presumably faces the same responsibility on the campus - then those within earshot of occasional barking should not be offended.

First of all I strongly regret that I was una ble to run Project Reach-Out last fall semester but I felt that I could not hold two jobs at once and since I had been elected to Commuter Council I should devote the most time to .it. Yet Reach-Out suffered for not having strong , effective leadership and in my opi nion Reach-Out is the best organization on campus , serving two purposes - to help the students and to help the community through volunteer wor k. The other comment I would like to make is that I am extremely proud of the Human Services Committee for they have thoroughly destroyed the old myth that freshmen should be seen and not heard. For they have been seen and they have been heard and Wilkes is a better place for it. This campus is proba bly1one .of the few that has a first aid team on it and all the students can thank the Human Services Committee for this . Finally , I would like to say that it has been a long four years and the senior class has loved and has reached out and as we go we take a par t of the Wilkes fa mily with us . Rich Mendelsohn Manuscript Reply To the editor : An article you ran in your last issue concerning the Student Government budget allotments was incorrect in stating that the Manuscript Society will survive on the budget granted us. I will not say that the allotment was unfair, but it will be impossible for us to maintain activities similar to this year's without additional funding. Also, I feel I must congratulate you for your calm and unbiased account of the budget meeting. In the face of the irresponsible behavior of the Student Government, I don't know how you can control yourself. I know I can't .

Man's efforts in history are without end. Even after we die, there will be others who will continue to fight for the development of the civilization. Everybody strikes for something better in life. Everything that is glamorous and bright is mentioned in history. If something is really useful to humanity , it doesn 't get lost, bu_t gets spread all over the world. The effort of the human race since the beginning of the world is great. When Christ was born, he brought to the whole of mankind his message : love. The great civilizations in the Eastern world created big and beautiful things. With their wonderful minds , they increased enormously the level of life . They tried to make life better with their remarkable achievements (civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt) . In these high empires man, or the individual , was lost in this endless mass . Therefore, it was not possible to pay attention to man's inner world, to his inner problems, his worries or anxieties. Millions and millions of people came like this on earth. They gave whatever they had, and they fought for their ki ng under any circumstances . What was the result of all that? They died with unfinished obligations, until their last moment. Nobody thought that these people could have had rights as well . They lived in that slow state machine of the East and they died there, unimportant and without any kind of recognition. First the Greeks changed completely the fa te of man as an individual. The \ whole world owes to the Greek ci vilization the projection of man as something valuable in life.

Coward's Corner by Coward Bosell V, lov. ' I ello, sports fan s, welcome once again to Coward's Corner. is week I am deviating from the standard procedure in this article, and ead of reporting on the latest action in intramural sports, I have an orial commentary about the intramural program here at Wilkes . feel that this past year the intramural program has not been given the ntion it has received in the past, or the attention that it rightfully rves to receive . As stated in the Wilkes College Bulletin - every man a chance to participate in Intramural basketball, touch football, eyball, softball and bowling. First of all, there was no Intramural ·Jing program set up this year. Secondly, the football league was set up ,' after several students complained that one was not started. I suppose sons for these occurrences, such as problems caused by the flood , could sed, but are these the real reasons, or is it that no one with the authority e responsibility to act did anything about it. These aren 't the only things !should be brought out concerning our Intramural program. There are a other occurrences which can't be easily dismissed . he Intramural basketball program lacked the enthusiasm this year that di n the past. Although the competition in the league was of good quality, attitude of the participants was one of definite criticism . A complaint ally heard after the program ended was : " What happened to the All Star e?" In the past, this was ai:i .annual event in which the more talented yers could gain recognition . e Intramural volleyball program never officially ended. It seemed as ugh the interest of the students declined after the league got under way. playoff schedule received no attention at all, which shows that the ue was poorly supervised. tramural softball is slowly falling apart with the end of the year drawing er and closer. As of this past week, the majority of the teams have played er once or not at all . Like volleyball, it's a cinch that the softball season end before it is scheduled to . 's a definite fact that the Intramural program is on a downward trend, as of now, it doesn't look as though there are going to be any rovements. After all, the Intramural program makes up almost -thirds of the athletic-minded students at Wilkes , and the attitude of e students is very disheartening . One reason for this might be that the pie involved in planning and organizing the competition don't take their too seriously . _Robert Not hitting, junior Paul Lavelle sustained a leg injury in the game, and will probably be forced to sit out the remainder of the season . J. McBride Mentorial Coward's Corner 2 Hello , campus sports buffs. Yes, it's your old friend Coward bringing you sports from the lighter side. I mean from the womP.n's side. The Hot Ross team of last year cooled down enough to win this year 's volleyball championship from that nice group from Weis, by scores of 15· 10 and 15·8. Leading the Ross contingent were Polly Seleski and Gale Rosko , while perennial all-star JoAnn Bartle shined for Weis . The remaining teams in the top eight were: 2. Weis 3. 76 W. South 4.

Wilkes Theater H9sts Seminar A vote of 11-IU on a proposed grant by Student Government granted 77 per cent of funds needed for the publication of the Beacon.

However, recen t statements wh ich seem to contradict one another call the matter to attention . , At the recent student life meeting, it was brought up that the student body feels that the pape r is doing an inadequate job of reporting and that the Bacon was started in protest to the number of errors in the Beacon . If this is the case, how does the Bacon staff account fo r as FEW as 35 errors on one page of its paper and coming out with a story by Pete Jadel is commenti.ng on a lack of action concerning cigarette machines on campus - the very day they were installed . Surely, someone had to have advance knowledge of the machines' arriva l. The companies don't just decide to install these machines at random. c Since that time, members of the Bacon staff have been offered one to two pages in each week's issue of the Beacon for comment and in-depth articles. The only restriction was the same as all publications face declined. libel. This offer was It would appear that their feelings and desires to write are ·not really that strong. Fellow students are griping about not being able to express themselves - and then, when given th~ _c hance to do so, will not. Comments were made last year and part d this year, stating there was not enough off-campus news in the paper. We started an i Op-Ed page, which is left open for viewpoints and comments. •. Student Life minutes now record comments that there is too much .off-campus news and not 'enough on-campus • *• Cheap. It seems ridiculous to have to wnre this letter for not only is its topic overplayed , but, · as us ual , its complaint will probably fa ll on deaf ears. We are referring to security -or rather the fack of it - on this campus. During the vacation one women's dorm was robbed , not of major items such as appliances, but small articles (clothing, cameras , albums) which when totaled, add up to a considerable amo unt of money. Furthermore, since we have returnep from vacation, this same dorm and at least one other dorm have had the pleasure of a welcome back visit by a local pervert. All of these incidents have been reported, a nd yet it appears that no one can be bothered to take any further action . We can say well , this is a small town a nd we are fortunate that we do not have the problems of the Uni versity of Pennsylva ni a, where campus rapes are a daily occurrence - but if Wil kes College chooses to do nothi ng about its secur ity problem , who knows how much longer we will be so " fort unate?"

She is a resident of Chapm an Hall. Estelle has had high school experience in theater, " Hay Fever" being her Wilkes debut, although she has worked make-up in other productions this year . Her other activities this year have included Student Government and the March of Dimes. She considers painting as her favorite hobby . Estelle sees Sorel as witty, intelligent and sarcastic, in some ways similar to herself. In this way, Estelle has found the character easy to work with.

Two-year community colleges are offering certificates of achievement and associate degrees in fields ll'here the training and education had normally come on the job in the past. Cha ncellor Brossman, who has watched the California community colleges grow to a total enrollment of 900,000, or nearly 65 per cent of all of the sta te 's lower-division college students, says the junior colleges make up he only segment of education that is still growing. "We expect to have one million students by 1975," he says. " There are several reasons . The lower cost and the accessibility of the campuses, which are spread into what had been isolated r ural (and even urban ) areas.

"The four-year colleges ," he smiles, "get students in fields that are fun to study . Then the kids graduate and wonder what they do next. We try to • prepare our students for the market.

The triumph raised the locals season stick record to 4-0-1. The raquetmen of Chuck Mattei are still in the running for a MAC title. Colonels had little problem conta ining the Mules yesterday, spurting out to a 10-2 third quarter lead and then coasting for the win. Coach Mattei emptied his bench in the final stanza. Seven different Wilkesmen figured in the scoring parade. Sophomore attack Vince Krill set a new school record by registering one goal and seven assists. The Lincoln Park , N.J . native now has Hi points on the year (five goals , 11 assists l. In lacrosse a goal and assist account for one point in individual scoring .

Junior Jim Rodda and sophomore Jay Rubin registered single scores. Sophomore Don Mock was tough in the nets, coming up with 13 saves. He had a 14.6 average in five games this spring . Also drawing praise from the Colonel coaching staff were defenders Craig Deacon , Rich Lorenzen , Jim Yanora , John Holland , and Jeff Grandinetti. On Saturday, April 21, the Colonels' Lacrosse team battled Haverford eleven who didn't arrive until 5 p.m ., which meant less than two hours of daylight remaining.

The second half saw Haverford gain momentum with three goals, and with the clock ~howing two minutes . and counting Haverford struck with a goal at 1: 50 left in the match . This made it 6-5, still the Colonels' favor until only 20 seconds rema ined. Then Haverford did it again to make it six all. .Struggling in what amounted to four overtime periods ending in complete darkness, the ref finally called the match in a tie, which is as rare in lacrosse as a no-hitter is in baseball. For the Colonels Clyde Fitch had two goals, and John Malatras, Kurt Franke, Mark Skvarla, and Craig Deacon each scored once. Steve Coleman had two assists and Gary Gieschen had one .

Over 75 area high school seniors heard Mrs. Linda Hobrock, Assistant Dean of Women and TDR advisor, who gave a preview of what to expect in college life. After informal discussions with TD~members, the coeds were taken on a tour of the campus . Barbara Smith served as chairman of the event.

The question is that of representation of the student body by the Student Government. We have a representative body on campus, composed of elected officials yvho are expected in turn to reflect the views . of the student body as a whole. Unfortunately, in most instances, such is not the case. A majority of the student body stumbles through classes and various activities totally unaware of key issues which are before Student Government. Part of t he responsibility of these student representatives should be to poll the studen t body for its opinion before ~ny major action is taken. Gra nted, th is would be a mamouth job for every issue t hat appears before the governing body. However, this shou ld be possible, at least where the major even ts are concerned events that wil I affect the future of the Wilkes College cam pus. Constructive criticism is often the mother of initiation. It is our hope that the newly elected governing body will take this into consideration when it comes time for it to take major action.

Upon further investigation , I discovered that the Wilkes College cafeteria had chosen to observe the week-long meat boycott by cutting back on the number of meat dishes prepared. Perhaps this boycott by the cafeteria will have some effect, al though I am not sure that our .institution utilizes the animal meats tha t are the target of the boycott. I also discovered tha t the authori ty for this action , from the standpoint of the student, came by means of a student government vote to support the boycott . This vote in itself is beyond reproach , as it was initiated by a representa tive gro_up elected by the s tudent body. My question is , " Why wer en 't the students of Wilkes College informed of the possibilities of suppor ti ng the boycott "befo re " the student council voted on it?" Perha_ps a referendum would have been in order so that the student government had some notion of where the general consensus lay concerning this issue .

'A Real.Mess' ut of the chaos of the New York yoral campaign came more chaos I week - along with the first merings of some order. he chaos: Governor Rockefeller, rare public display of his political scle, had apparently crushed a ublican rebellion against his ice for mayor , Democrat Robert Wagner. But some Republican ders had hardly sounded like ters when they had ·tagged the mer mayor a moron and a read, among the more printable criptions. And on Sunday, Mr. gner blasted his detractors as anut politicians" and said he ldn't take the Republican yoral nomination that was about be given him . The order: State Senator John J. Marchi, the Republican mayoral contender four years ago, announced his candidacy on Monday . Several hours later he was endorsed by the New York State G.O.P. chairman and the five Republican county leaders in the city, lending substance to the suggestion that the less than enthusiastic reception shown Mr . Wagner had let to his declining the Rockefeller endorsement. Mr . Marchi 's entry into the race meant the end of Mr . Wagner's "free ride" in the Republican primary where Mr. Marchi almost certainly would defeat him. Mr. Marchi said he had deferred announcement of his own candidacy while Mr. Rockefeller tried to line up Republican support behind Mr . Wagner but the Governor's effort turned ou to be "a parade that just didn't have anybody in it." Some semblance of order was also beginning to develop in the ·Deµ10cratic ranks. The original field of nine candidates had shrunk to six- Representative Edward Koch bit the dustlast week-and was likely to drop eventually to the four B's: City Controller Abraha;n D. Beame, Representatives Herman Badillo and Mario Biaggi and Assemblyman Albert H. Blumenthal. Mr . Wagner indicated he did not relish entry into the Democratic "dogfight." That left only twc options open for him - the Liberal party support which was his for th€ asking but which might also involve a primary fight, or no candidacy. Should he decide to run, hi~ chances - most observers feel would be good. According to these opinions, the possible scenarios fro M. Wagner could run this way: First scenario: Mr. Biaggi, whc already has the Conservative party's endorsement, wins the Democratic nomination. That leaves Mr. Wagner as the only liberal against two conservatives, MR. Marchi and Mr . Biaggi, who would split the moderate and conservative vote. That's the formula that gave an unpopular Mayor Lindsay victory fo ur years ago . Second scenario: Mr. Beame, who also has a moderate and even conservative image, 1 wins the Democratic nod. He splits the moderate and conservative vote with Mr. Marchi and Mr. Biaggi. Again Mr . Wagner wins. Third scenario: Mr. BadiJ!o, the most liberal of all the contenders, wins the Democratic primary. Mr. Wagner becomes the candidate of the middle against MR. Marchi and Mr . Biaggi on the right and Mr . Badillo on the left. Fourth scenario: Mr. Blumenthal wins the Democratic primary. That . poses a more difficult' problem. Mr. Blumentha , 44 years old to Mr. Wagner's 63, is very much like the former mayor, a liberal who comes across · as nondoctrinaire and sometimes moderate. These are some of the recipes politicians are brewing. What's missing so far is a crucial ingredient: Mr. Wagner's formal announcement of his candidacy . -Frank Lynn �THE BEACON Page 4 Dinner-Dance Held WCLH 90.7 FM Hundreds of Wilkes College students-freshmen, sophomores and the muscular lettermen-marked the last weekend before the start of the spring vacation on Friday and Saturday nights as they held separate dances in central city hotel ballrooms.

Galbraith's position as an economics professor at Harvard University is only a part of a career which has also seen the duties of diplomat, novelist, essayist, critic, historion, administrator and advisor to such men as Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy. and Eugen McCarthy. Galbraith's works include "AMERICAN CAPITALISM, THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY," AND "THE NEW INDUSTRIAL STATE." He has challenged tradional economic ideas and provided some unique observations of society . According to one press article, Galbraith displays a unique intellectual wit which is "applied lightly in some cases" and carries "the sting of poison" in others.

Oakland will be back with most of last year's world series gang , but they just don't seem to have the motivation that last year 's team possessed. Reggie Jackson is hobbled by injuries , but it probably won 't affect his hitting that much . Gene Tenace has moved over to first base to make room for former Cleveland catcher, Ray Fosse. The Kansas City Royals have come a long way since their "inception and could challenge this season. They are led by scrappy, little Fred Patek, Lou Piniella and slugger John Mayberry . The only ingredient missing is a better pitching staff. Minnesota and California could make early bids for the lead, but they lack the consistency to be contenders in October.

Laboratory Workshop Productions This Week A week or theall'r is in the making for April ;i through April 11. George Bernard Shaw ·s historical spectacle, Th!' Six of Calais, will be presented tonight on a platform stage designed bv Hichard Scott Finkelstein. The p~'riod costumes have been designed and executed by Julie Morse. The Pntire production is under the direct ion of Robert Bernhardt.

On Wednesday National Players will present Shakespeare's As You 1.ikl' It. All in one week this campus ,.,·ill be host to a high comedy, a modern drama, and a Shakespearean comedy. All students arc invited to attend all three of these productions on April 5, 9, and l'l. �Page 2 April 5, THE BEACON r--------------~---------- Editorially Speaking Fund Goal Realized Our hats go off to all involved in the recent fund campaign which realized its goal of $250,000. Campaign cha irman Charles Epstein and his able crew of over 250 volunteers deserve much credit for their fine work. Needless to say the money comes at a very needy time. The college attained much damage during the June flood, so the money will be put to good use. Perhaps Dr. Francis J. Micheli ni put it best when he said, "The understanding of people is the most important product of higher education but the least susceptible to evaluation." Every Wilkes student should be thankful for the generosity the community has shown towards the college. It just .goes to show that people realize the need for higher edu.c ation and these people are willing to part with some of their hard-earned money to forward it. We would be lacking if we didn't mention the 10 division leaders who played s~ch a huge role in the success. They were: Ed Boltz, Chuck Robbins, Bob Masoner, Cliff Melberger, Tom Peeler, Joe Savitz, Gene Roth, Gil Tough, Tom Shelburne and Frank Townend. Again, thanks to all involved for the prosperous and successful campaign.

Legal maintenance centers where it would be doled out would break the back of drug abuse and return thousands of addicts to useful and productive lives. The wonder drug ? Heroin ... Fifty years ago, heroin - a morphine derivative - was hailed as the answer lo the then widespread problem of morphine addiction in the same way that methadone, another narcotic drug, is acclaimed as the answer to today·s heroin addiction problem. Methadone critics say the country is doing down the same dreary path all over again. But the supporters of methadone say strict guidelines will prohibit a recurrence . Considered Cure-all When _heroi_n was first introduced at the turn of the century as a cure-all for everythmg_ from bronc_hitis to tuberc~losis, it was _believed to be _ non-add1ct1ve and there_fore ~ safe s~~st,tute for_ morphme. . Because of ,ts great pam-kdhng quaht1es, morphme had b_een w1~ely used as a general analgesic by doctors_. It al~o was freely used m hospitals and was the base ~ many commercial p~111~k1llers on the ope~ market. . But because 1t was al_so_ highly addictive , persons suffermg prolonged illnesses developed _add1ct10~s . . . . In .\906, tpe Amen can. Me~1cal Assoc1at1011 .endorsed herom for general use m place of morphme. Two years later , Congress outlawed opium smoking , a practice stemming from the post-treatment addiction of medical patients treated with morphine. By 1914, abuse of all types of drugs had become so widespread that Congress went even furth er and passed the Harrison Narcotics Act, the first piece of legislation designed to control narcotics. Banned Use ' The Harrison Act banned the non-theraputic use of all opium and cocoa derivatives, including morphine, cocaine, codeine and heroin. It set up a tax of one cent per ounce on the drugs and required manufacturers and dealers of narcotics to register with the federal government. However, the intent of the act was to be circumvented when during and after World War I, thousands of American troops r eturned from the war as morphine addicts. Mor.phine was used as a pain killer in treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield and in military hospitals. As a result, many soldiers became victims of the same problem of post-treatment morphine addiction that had plagued the domestic medical populati9n in earlier years. By the end of the war , there were an estimated 200,000 drug addicts in the United States. • Alarm over the existing domestic drug abuse problem and general concern for the plight of returning veterans led to the establishment of drug maintenance centers, similar the ones opened in recent years for returning Vietnam veterans . The : linics were designed to cure addicts by simply rC'ducing the amount of narcotics that they were administered. They were run by doctors and were considered legal under the Harrison Act, which allowed doctors to prescribe drugs for medical purposes. Hou, To .Finance A College Education le scholarships of all kinds are , loans are on the ascent. t unheard of a decade ago, are now an essential part of college financing. This is true if you procure a scholarship, it normally won 't cover all es. t of the loans are taken out by ts, not parents . While this can relief to the family bank t, loans must be approached aulion lest the young man or n begin their work career helmingly in debt. As one entator wrote in College Board w: "Imagine this personal in your local newspaper: man facing $10,000 debt at of graduate school seeks ce with comparable young with I similar obligations. : Matrimony, mortgage and r loans , no children pending duct ion. ,. you would guess , the lowest t loan is not given to -class families .. This is the al Defense Student Loan. It 's r cent interest payable over a r period but not starging until onths after graduation. The orides up to $1,000 a year for five years . One of the most redeeming qualities of this loan is that it can be partially forgiven if the child goes into any number of fields the government considers critical. If he teaches for five years after graduation, for instance, he will have to pay only half the original loan. Though this loan is based on actual need, there are many extenuating circumsta nces that may make you eligible. For example, a family bringing in $15,000 a year certainly would not qualify, but if the family has four children all at or near college age, they can prove need and eligibility. Guaranteed student loans are based on need , also , though the need nccdn ·t be as great. An adjusted income of $15,000 a year is the basis, but more affluent families can secure them. Under this program, the student is again the loan taker . Loans arc handled by local banks and the gO\·ernmenl backs them for the lull amount. Interest is 7 per cent per )·ear. with the government paying till' interest while the student is in school. After college , the full amount of the loan must be repaid over a !0-)·<'ar period. An interesting aspect of the Guaranteed Student Loans is that the young people who have been getting them haven 't been particularly interested in paying them back. Defaults exceeded $40 million a year ago and promise to be higher this year. William Simmons, Director of Insured Loans for the U.S. Office of Education is hopping mad and swears ··we're going to collect every dime." Unfortunately for Simmons, that's easier said than done. After graduation, young people set off in a thousand different directions and trackirtg them down is too time-consuming and too expensive, considering that the average loan has been only a little over $1,000. The least desirable loan is the Student Loan set up at many banks. Thi s is a s traight loan to th e parents from the bank . There aren't any breaks here. The family pays around 12 per cent interest on a 12- to 72-month term. Like venereal disease. these loans are easy to get and hard to get over. Before resorting to the bank's Student Loan . explore lower-i nterest loans on your securities or other collateral. Also. don't forget your insurance policy with its cash value still intact. •with a loan · and a small scholarship. you probably still won't have enough to cover the who le shot. !\Jost students have to roll up their sleeves and take on part-time wo1:k. On -campus jobs are obtainable through the school placement office. Wages are in the slaV'C labor category of from $1.:!0 to $1.50 an hour'. Belter your child should look for work off-campus. What he needs is a sinecure. a job with pay but little or no responsibility. Ideal positions where he can slip some study in on th e job are 1potcl clerk, night ,rntchman. librarian , janitor and night switchboard operator . /\not her means of handling the cost of college is to complete it in three )·ears. Lopping off a full year can reduce the total costs by anywhere from 111 to 2:i per cent. The student can take this course himself at any number of sc hools with systems of three semesters or four quarters a vea.r . Some schools have formal ihree-year programs already established. They are Northwestern university in Illinois, George Washington University in Missouri, and Beloit in Wisconsin. l{ushed curriculum, long-term debts and extra work for everyone in the family arc the ingredients for a coll ege degree for middle 1\nwricans. And there is no relief in sight. If th e Federal Government cornt·s through with its planned increases for education , most-of the money will go to the devastated elt'rnentary and secondary school S\sll'ms. then to college administrations and poor studen ts . Whatever is lt'fl after that may bring some relief for m iddle -incomc parents - but don 't count on it.

It was the season dia mond debut for the Blue and Gold charges of Gene Domzalski, who began their quest for a second straight Middle Atlantic Conerence title. Senior Jeff Giberson pitched and swatted the locals to a 7-2 decision in the -first tilt as he scattered seven hits. The 6-0, 170-pounder from Mt. Holly, N.J. connected with a 330-foot homerun in the first frame to send the Colonels out to a 2-0 lead. It was Giberson's tenth career victory against only one loss. Camoni did honors in the nitecap, slopping the Flying Dutchmen, 15-0, The scheduled seven inning fray was halted by the rains after five innings of play. Camoni , 3-1 with an 0.94 earned run average last spring, struck out four batters in his shortened gem. After waiting in the wings for two years, former Plains High School standout Lavell e cracked the starting lineup and went three-forthree in the first game. Lavelle cracked home a single run in the fifth and a pair in the seventh for three-RBI day. Freshman outfielder Steve Leskiw a Coughlin alumnus, also made his collegiate debut a memorable one , collecting two hits. Both of Lebanon Valley's runs came via the round-tripper route as Larry Melsky and Scott Sener produced solo shots against Giberson. Colonels mentor Domzalski unveiled five freshmen in the afternoon barrage in the persons of Leskiw, Dave Trethaway , Tony Schwab, Jack Keller and Dave Paolinelli.

Dave, a junior accounting major from Little League town USA Williamsport Pennsylvania , was voted number one of the Colonels' top six tennis players by Coach Tom Rokita. ·Dave has been playing a dozen years now and he hardly shows signs of letting up. Concern ing the '73 Colonels' squad Dave had this to say: " This year we have three top players returning in the likes of Bob Dombrowski , Rich l\kGuire, and John Durbin ." l\1odcstly , he failed to include himself - the number one guy. Dave went on to talk of the team's main weakness: · ·out of this year's 15 man team, only the four returnees have experienced actual competition. " However , he reels with the team 's strengths of good personnel balance and much natural ability they can very well go places. When asked about the Colonels ' home court condition, Dave complained of only three satisfactory courts. Since the flood, the others have not been returned to top condition, and this does impede the team's effort. This season's schedule proves to be a tough one according to Dave. "The season opener is with Scranton University at Scranton this Saturday, and they have always been our big rival," claims Dave. He picked out Ursinus, Moravian, and especially Muhlenburg as the other tough competitors this year. Not wanting to be put out on the limb as far as predictions go, Dave would only assert that his team will go well beyond the .500 mark this spring if it isn't unduly plagued by injurie~ and bad weather. Coming from a great one like him , the prediction will most likely come to pass.

This indiv idual is Peter J adefis, a veteran of the Government scene over the last three years. This one fact may be interpreted in two ways. Either that the position is so strongly hated that no one has the desire to fill it, or tha t the students' backing of Jadelis is so definite and strong that there is no need for any indecision . Judging from Jadelis' past record, it would strongly seem that his· backing is strong and definite. The student body may well realize his accomplishments and work in the student governing body. The job of Student Government President demands by its very nature a great deal of time and effort, along with the impetus to finish what sometimes amount to tedious and unpleasant tasks . It also demands a great deal of tact and knowledge of the Wilk_es campus. In all of these areas, there is no reason to doubt the ability of Jadelis to do the job and to handle it with the amo~ nt of devotion necessary for such a position_. The Beacon would like to offer its support and best wishes to Pete Jadel is in his future role as student leader. One last word on Student Government Presidents . . . As the academic year is rapidly drawing to a close and the installation of new officers is not that far away, it should be noted that this year's officers did a fantastic job, working for the best interests of the student body . Primary among their accomplishments is the welldeveloped communication among the Student Government, the Inter-Dormitory Council and the Commuter Council. This year also saw the installation of c igarette machines on campus and newspapers sold regularly on campus. Small, but often important conveniences. This year's governing body also drafted a new constitution and worked strongly with the college and the community in rebuilding a college after what has been termed ."The worst natural disaster in our nation's history." Student Government President Mike Barski was among volunteers this past summer digging the buildings out from beneath literally tons of mud and debris deposited by the raging Susquehanna River. It is our hope that with this type of record behind them, the new officers will be able to carry the torch and promote some needed social and academic changes.

Supreme Court ruled last July, in cases involving Georgia and Texas, the death penalty, as imposed in most states, was unconstitutional. The ing left the way open for legislatures to reimpose the death penalty, ding it was applied uniformly . Associated Press survey showed that the question of capital ment was an issue in almost every state. Most of the proposals ded execution as the punishment for killing a policeman or fireman, for ne hijacking and for various type9' of murder, including murder itted during the course of another crime. interpretation is that the Supreme Court is not barring the death ty if it is mandatory,'' said Sheldon Beychok, chairman of a special 'ana commission on capital punishment. "That is," he added, "the ty must be imposed on both the rich and the poor m.an." No action has taken on the commission report. rters of capital punishment cite the death penalty as a potential nt to crime and complain about the coddling of felons. me people are out to protect the blood-thirsty animals that go out and people and kill them, but not me," said South Dakota State Rep.

Nixon Deplores Federal Waste Of 'Needy' MO ney WASHINGTON (AP)_ President Nixon said Saturday too much federat money " has been going to those who were supposed to help the needy and too little to the needy themselves ," and America must do better than this . He said that in the 1960s the government " undertook ambitious , sometimes almost utopian commitments in one area of social policy after another " that "in case after case amounted to dismal failure ." In the fourth of a series of nationwide radio addresses on his State of the Union report, Nixon said: "Those who make a profession out of poverty got fat ; the taxpayers got stuck with the bill; and the disadvantaged themselves got little but broken promises. "We must do bett than this. The American people deserve compassion that works-not simple com passion that means well." Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansield of Montana told reporters he agrees with Nixon that many domestic programs · "have been over-administered and underapplied," with too little help going to the people Congress sought to help . But Mansfield was sharply critical of the plan to channel much of the domestic aid into special revenue sharing and he opposed dismantling of the Officer of Economic Opportunity . In his address, taped before he took off for the weekend at Camp David, his Maryland mountain retreat, the President said "to our great credit we Americans are a restless and impatient people-we are a nation of idealists. "We dream of eradicating pov~rty and hunger , discrimination, ignorance, disease and fear, and we would like to do it all today. But in order to reach these goals, we need to connect this. warm-hearted impatie~ce of our~ with anothe~ equally _American tra1t-:--and that 1s levelheaded common sense."

However, until very recently, these were unsafe to use, as elements containing a great amount of radioactivity cause radiation disease and a myriad of complications. The new focus is places especially on four short-lived radioactive isotopes: Oxygen-15, Nitrogen-13, Carbon-II and Flourine-18. Their half-lives are two minutes, 10 minutes , 20 minutes and 1.87 hours, respectively, according to Dr. Owen D.

College Listening Habit by Linda Stevens One of the exciting new shows on WCLH thi~semester is Festival U.S.A., hec1rd every Monday night at 9: 30. It features live--0n tape concerts recorded at music festivals around the country. Some of the festivals which can be heard on WCLH are The San Diego Folk Festival, The Ojai Music Festival from California, The 34th Annual National Folk Festival from Wolf Trap Park for the! Performing Arts, the International Piano Festival and Competition at the University of Maryland, and the American College Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District o Columbia. · Festival U.S.A. offers a wide variety of music for the listener. Traditional folk and old time country music can be heard from the San Diego Folk Festival held at the University of San Diego in California. An unusual instrument which is played by one of the artists is, believe it or not, a rubber glove . Also coming from the San Diego Festival is a blues program featuring jam sesions, a woman's workshop on "The Trials and Tribulations of a Female Folk Singer," and an outdoor children's concert. Another program contains highlights of gospel music . The Ojai Festival features music <J.long the classical line, as does the International Piano Festival and Competition at the University of Maryland. One interesting aspect of the Ojai Festival is a program of ethnic music. Kwasi Badu, master drummer of the Ashanti, will perform music from Africa on that program. Mr . Badu will present the ceremonial music of the Ashanti of Ghana, the Edik of Nigeria, and the Ewe of Ghana. Indonesian music from Bali and the m usic of the Mariachi from J alisco, Mexico will also be performed by artists of these countries on that program. The music coming from the 34th An'1 ual National Folk Festival at Wolk Trap F arm Park for the Perform ing Arts near Washing ton , D.C. includes oldtim e gospel, bluegr ass, blues, and ballads. And, of course, jazz can be heard from the American College J azz Festival.

The clerk told him "It's $500or your first born son." Roger began to think to himself, ''I don't plan on getting pregnant so I as well offer my first born son." er left the court room feeling jolly for change , for he was now legally Romper. Suddenly the inevitable happened-Roger married a fellow e student named Sarah Softintheheadski.

Students View Life On First-Hand Basis I . I: ( ' I . ( I ( I, An estimated 200 freshmen and some 400 members of their families got a first-hand look at what life is like for students on the Wilkes College campus when they took part in last weekend 's three-day " freshman-weekend." Under the sponsorship of the Inter-Dormitory Council and the Commuter Council, the annual Freshman Weekend was tagged by college and student sponsors as one of the best ever on the college campus. Hegistration activities were a bit hectic at times as the students and their parents arrived with suitcases to pick materials for the weekend stay. Left to right, are: Dorothy Kaufman, Camp Springs, Maryland; Susan Rinehamer, Wanamie, Pa.; Tom Uren, Wilkes.-Barre: Michele La Hose, Hazleton; Aileen Delaney, Wilkes-Barre; Nancy Farrell, Somerville, N.J.; and Mary Prymowicz, Hillsborough, N.J. Among the booths set up in the reception center of the New Men's Dormitory was one that attracted considera hie attention- the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps site. Students were told of the advantages in applying for ROTC training and possibly qualifying for a tuition-free scholarship and $100 a month. Left to right at the Air Force table are: Cadet John Kondek, Plymouth; Alan Berger, Tom's River, N.J.; Ken Edelson, Plainfield, N.J.; Captain Richard Carpenter, member of the U.S. Air Force ROTC Detachment on the Wilkes campus; Cadet Susan Sherbin, Wilkes-Barre; and· Chris Hudak, Roselle Park, N.J. • ', ~ • • ' • ' l • t • • • • ·.': .. ·t'.'' •. .,' ·~ · . ~ - ·- - - - - Co-chairmen of the affair were Lee Auerbach and Miss Leslie Cook. Advisor to the IDC and director of housing is Donald Jost. Visiting students were given the opportunity to stay overnight in residence halls on the campus, participate in various student and faculty functions and a variety of social activities. Friday evening's activities got underway as the 11rospective freshmen and their families- arrived for registration in the New Men's Dormitory and were the,i guided to the various dorms. They were treated to a showing of "Bonnie and Clyde" at the CPA that evening. Students were able to meet with representatives of the various departments Saturday morning and discuss their major fields . Following this meeting the students · met with the deans and discussed various problems relating to dormitory life. After a lunch break Dean George Ralston, Dr. Donald Tappa, Harr~ Keller, and Colonel James Aikman gave a resume of special interest groups . Student leaders also had the opportunity to meet with the visitors. Speaking were Michael Barski, president of Student Government; James Fiorino, president of IDC; and Buddy Brezinski, president of Commuter Council. At this meeting the students gained an insight into the various extra-curricular events on campus. The prospective freshmen lost no time in getting acquainted with their hosts on the campus and were well into the swing of things by the time the "greasers" dance recalling the 1950's got underway in the gymnasium Friday evening. Throughout the weekend , informal discussions in the dormitories provided .the answers to many questions the individuals students had concerning eollege life and activities. Une advantage in this year 's program was the spring-like weather that greeted th-e visitors . Last year's program, which occurred on a weekend that sported one of the major snow storms of the year, caused a good many cancellations. Highlighting the weekend's activities was a special Ecumenical Service in the Center for the Performing Arts for the entire Wilkes College Family the perspective freshmen and their parents.

Planned tors have realized the need for courses in environmental science and through this, a need has also been established for individuals qualified to teach the new subject. Career opportun ities constantly opening up in the field will also provide job openings for students who might otherwise have been forced to take a straight science-related major. It is our hope that the expansion will not stop here. Wilkes has always been dedicated to the twin goals of serving the community and the individual. We can think of no more rapidly expanding field right now than the field of communications. Individuals skilled in the art of communications have the opportunity of attaining positions in industry, business, education. The list is endless, for where there exists a grouP, of people, there also exists the need to communicate their actions to the masses. The initiation of a major in English with a minor in communications would open the door to numerous possibilities and the further expansion of undergraduate course offerings. Wilkes Grad A. F.

Symbols on the chart represent various · s of heavenly bodies based on a specific time place on earth. This chart may be used in erable ways . The most frequent use is in cter analysis. To do this, a chart is drawn for the tofbirth. This chart is unique to each individual referred to as your "Astrological Fingerprint." chart changes with every four minutes of time an identical chart may never occur for over 26,000 .Simple -but organized mathematical procedures to draw or "erect" the chart. This chart would lly identical if erected by several different ers.

It may seem far-fetched to recommend annual visits to a profess_ional astrologer, but the advice and guidance may take each new year a bit easier to cope with . The chart is composed of three basic parts - houses , signs and planets. The houses refer to earthly experiences common to all of us - homelife , marriage, profession , etc . The signs afford a coloring effect, or give a particular attitude toward each of these experiences. For example, Aries influencing the house of marriage would indicate a very active, headstrong, and impulsive attitude toward partnerships and marriage. If Taurus were influencing that same house, a gentle, warm, and patient attitude would exist. The primary and secondary indications of all the possible sign house combinations show part of the extent of everyone's uniqueness, in response to various earthly considerations. The third element - the planets - places various weight of certain forces in the houses, creating possibilities as different and unique as people. We are all influenced by these same basic elem~nts, yet at varying proportions and in different ways to shape our own individuality. Just "how" astrology works is a topic that may take a lifetime to study and understand . It is believed that with your first breath, you inhale the ether of the Universe into your body and vitalize the nucleus of each cell with the Divine Force. A chart can be drawn for this very important step in your Eternal Life cycle - birth - and various character indications for this life can be made. The chart represents the moment you wanted to be born. You may not consciously remember being given a choice, but this life, your parentage, environment, attitude, etc., were all of your own choosing. You have been blessed with another chance at life within a physical body in order to work out difficulties as well as enjoy the rewards of thoughts and deed of passed lives . Your actions today will cause a reaction tomorrow , there is no way around it. Any one life may be considered a "Great Day." The very slow precession of the constellations - as viewed from the North Pole -requires over 26,000 years to make a complete revolution. This time period is known as a "Great Year ." This may be divided into 12 small elements - one for each sign of the zodiac . This time period just over 2100 years - is known as a "Great Month, " or an "Age ." We are now completing the " Age of Pisces" which began about 1 A.D. It was a period of advancement through suffering and sacrifice. It marked a period when people or nations were oppressed by forces much larger than themselves and strived to overcome these circumstances· to receive the rewards of doing so. A new Age may be introduced by a master who will share His wisdon of what is to come and how to Jive happily with it. The Age of Pisces was introduced by Jesus Christ. This was a time that began both a Great Month and a Great Year so that His teachings and deeds will affect mankind not only for the 2,000 year period but for the 26,000 year epoch as well. We now approach the Age of Aquarius. This influence is being felt, though the age will not arrive for another 200 years. It marks a time of growth and progress through enlightenment and awareness; a time when common man receives his due-respect and is no longer a selfless part of the large institutions created by the Age of Pisces. The Great Month may be divided into segments of 72 years, known as a " Great Day." This represents the astrological span of one life for man . Though you go to bed and rise daily, the period from birth to physical death is one "Great Day." And it is yours to use as you choose. Knowing that your thoughts and deeds today will directly affect your circumstances tomorrow may give a new meaning to each individual's idea on how to spend his " Great Day." Astrology is a vast topic. Though it is limitless in usage, its study need not be complicated. It asks a certain devotion of time to study the findings of other astrologers. As you grow into this knowledge, more and more understanding of the Self and the Universe will ensue. One method of studying the art is through a home study course. This system permits learning astrology in your spare time . Certainly, not everyone is equipped to study astrology . One school, the Colegio Internacional de Astrologia (C.I.A.) gives a free aptitiude test to all interested individuals. Not passing the test will not make a Jack of intelligence, hardly . It merely means a lack of aptitude for learning ~strology by the method of teaching used in the course . A copy of this test may be obtained by writing to ; C.I .A.; P .O. Box 767 ; Pittston, Pa. 18640, with no obligation. If you are not personally interested in astrology, fine; the choice is yours . But you may be doing a friend a fine favor by informing him or her of this comprehensive school. Whatever path you take, stay aware of what is going on within you and around you and enjoy every bit of it you are able.

Suffering with radio's worst handicap, a sore throat, Ron proved to be a most delightful guest to the lecture series. Presently the WAZL format can be heard on WVCD at 97.9 FM , but coming approximately June 1, WVCD will have its own format of beautiful music 24 hours a day, in stereo.

WCLH extends an invitation to others interested in the communications media, Beacon , Manuscript, and Amnicola , to attend the seminars held ,each Monday evening at 7 p .m . Fractured Fairy Tale by Ray McNulty This is a tale about a jerk named Jack and his very exciting adventures with a beanstalk . Jack was preparing to attend college but wasn't sure what he wanted for his profession. It didn't take Jack too Jong to decide - Mrs. Gobbler, his widowed mother, told him he should not attend college. The widow told her son that "you don't know beans about anything." That did it - Jack decided to go to college in order to learn new methods of farming. So Jack enrolled in Fearless Farmers University . Young Jack was an ideal student ; he studied, he went to classes regularly and he was invplved in extra-curricular work. It was in th~ dungy ole lab of the university that he discovered abean which would grow to exceptional dimensions. One day Jack planted his magic beans and let them grow - right in the middle of the Fearless Farmers' football field . Needless to say, the beans grew and grew and grew until they were out of sight. Jack, being the jerk he was, quickly started to climb the towering beanstalk. At the top of the beanstalk there Jived an ugly ole witch (it used to be a giant but he was put in prison for income tax evasion) . The wicked witch was studying her Constitutional Law book so that she would know when to give her alien address . Jack spoke to the old hag and asked her, "Who might you be?" The old witch replied, "I'm Little Bo Peep." Happy with that answer, Jack proceeded to walk along the top of this beanstalk. Just then there was a loud noise and the sound of many voices. It was the school officials who were here to check on Jack . Poor Jack was given an ultimatum - either pay extra money as a dorm student or return today to the campus. Since Jack had no money (he only had beans), he decided to slowly return to the university. Jack then returned to the campus but he was told to report immediately to the dean's office. The dean told Jack that he was being put on probation for living off campus without written permission from his mother. Jack replied that he was innocent and that he had spent his time with a friendly witch. The dean said that he understood the situation completely. Jack was now permanently dismissed because of indecent morals. The moral of this story is obvious - if you plan to climb a beanstalk or associate with a witch, either don't tell your college officials or else get a written note from your mama! �Page 6 THE BEACON Michael Ellis Donates Theatric The magic number for the Wilkes College Theater Department seems to be 777 this season.

"This is not true today," asserts Harry Hoover, who has been designated as the first strength coordinator at Wilkes College. UCLA Favored To Repeat As NCAA Champion by Paul Domowitch There will be a lot of action in St. Louis, Missouri ~his week, as the four semi-finalists in the NCAA basketball tournament battle it out to see who will reign as college basketballs' best in 1973. Under a new format, the semi's will be held this coming Saturday, while the finals will be on Monday evening . Providence, Memphis State, and Indiana feel that they have the players and potential to take all the marbles but there is one stumblin block in their way, UCLA. The heavily-favored Bruins, have won their last 73 games in a row, not to mention nine out of the last ten NCAA championships, and if they prevail this week, the last seven in a row. Coach John Wooden's quintet will ' meet Big Ten champ Indiana, this Saturday at 4 p.m. EST. To get to the semi's, UCLA beat a tough University of San Francisco squad 54-39 in the Western regionals. The Dons played a very deliberate brand of ball and were trailing by a mere one point at halftime, 23-22. But led by Tommy Curtis, who came off the bench to score twelve points, and 6'11 junior Bill Walton, the Bruins outscored San Francisco 31-17 in the second half. Indiana, with high scoring center, Steve Downing, and freshman guard Quinn Buckner, outlasted the Kentucky Wildcats 72-65 in the Mid-East Regionals . In the opening round on Saturday, Providence College · will battle Memphis State at 2 p.m. EST. Providence is led by the ever-exciting Ernie D. and Marvin B., namely Ernie DiGregorio and Marvin Barnes.

Other offensive threats for MSU are Ronnie "the Big Cat" Robinson a 6'3 forward, who can jump with the best of them , and Wes Westfall , a 6'8 forward. PERSONALLY SPEAKING: Despite the fine talent of Providence, Indiana, and Memphis State, we still must face reality , and reality is UCLA . The Bruins should have no trouble in getting past Indiana in the one semi-final contest while Providence will squeak by Memphis State if Di Gregorio and Barnes can stay out of foul trouble. That will set the stage for a Providence-UCLA contest in the finals on Monday evening. These two team s have met earlier this season with UCLA prevailing by a margin of 23 points . Friar 's coach Dick Gavett has said that his team has improved tremendously since then but it matters little. UCLA will claim possession of its tenth NCAA title in the eleven years. Hoover's lair is the lower level of the New Men's Dormitory where workmen recently put the finishing touches on a new Colonel strength facility. Included in the specially built room is a universal machine with nine separate stations and two 500-pound olympic-weight sets as well as a collection of York barbells. The room is completely ventilated and contains a vast amount of storage space. "Our purpose for establishing it was really two-fold, " explained Hoover . " On one plane it is designed for the athlete who may want to sharpen certain muscular skills. Secondly, it is available to every member of the student body, faculty and administration for their personal use, which could range from the rehabilitation of an injury to body building ." "There are specific workouts for each sport," expounded Hoover, who pastimed on the gridiron for the Colonels from 1967 to 1971. Much of his attention has focused on members of the Blue and Gold grid team. "Many members of the squad are frequent visitors to the room," Hoover said. "Some of the wrestlers are expected to start their own program in the next few weeks ." One of the big pushers of the new strength program is football mentor Roland Schmidt, who played an intricate part in getting the room started, as did Athletic Director John Reese and Wilkes College President Dr. Francis J . Michelini. "Our immediate goal is to get as many people as possible involved with the facility," Hoover explained. "Some faculty members have also shown an interest in working out." At present the room is open between 4 and 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but the hours will be extended in the near future . CLUB TRACK INITIATED by l{on Noyalis It's that time of year for baseball and track , and once again the possibility exists for the formation of a Wilkes Track Club. According to George Pawlush, Sports Information Director, if one man turns out this year, then there will be a Track Club. Actually, this year 's possibility will become this year 's reality. George, who will assume the mentor's role this year , claims a few of his cross-country-players will be coming out for track. George expressed his desire for an enthusiastic turnout this year. "The track club is open to anyone at Wilkes with desire," he asserts . With decent participation possible meets with Baptist Bible, Bingham ton State, and Wyoming Seminary ca n become a reality. Depending on formati on of a team Wilkes could very well be participating in the All-College Trac k Meet at Wyoming Seminary on Sunday, April 29, at 12 noon. The meet will feature the following events : Track - 100 and 220 yard dashes, the 440, 880, mi le , and two mile runs; Field - shotput, discus, hi gh jump and long jum p. This meet is open to anyone at Wilkes . The Track Club's next meeting will be held today at Weckesser Annex at 11 a.m. for all prospective track men."

In a recent editorial, the Beacon came out against the revisions as proposed by the constitution committee. We still feel that these points are valid and the reasoning that "it is not the intention of Student Government to exercise supreme control, " is highly idealistic. No one could foresee the future or estimate the amount of control one group of governing individuals would choose to exercise. We would not advocate supreme control by the Administration, but sure!y a reasonable compromise where some check BY THE STUDENT BODY may be initiated. The voter turn-out at the recent poll on the constitution is enough to indicate that the student body do~sn't really care. If some governing body came into control, it probably wouldn't make any difference to a majority of the student body as long as they weren't straddled with any work. If this is the type of turn-out we get at elections - and this is indicative of all elections on the Wilkes campus perhaps we should do away with the voice of the people entirely, and have just a ·few select members of the student body run the organizations m campus. These people would be . chosen in respect to a popularity poll conducted in the library or Commons. Of course ability would never en~er the picture. These people in turn would select other individuals to serve on committees and projects would be done only at the choosing of these individuals. '(he campus media, . the radio station. Yes, even the Beacon could be controlled by those same individuals. And no one would care enough to fight back. Bizarre? Maybe, but still within the realm of probability, and provable by other activities arid events on the campus. We are simply satisfied too easily. If we do have the initiative to see something wrong it's too much trouble to do anything about it, so we rest on our own ability to be superior and forget about doing anything at all. So what are we trying to say? It may be summed up in three simple words - Give a damn!

Main Street-Wilkes-Barre.-8 :30 p.m. Photography Showing-Students of Mark Cohen-(throughMarch Conyngham Art Gallery L " Nearly two and a half years after my first survey in 1970, education for futurism appears to be booming in North America ." That's how Sociologist H. Wentworth Eldredge opens his new essay on " Teaching the Future." My thought and concern is: Does it apply to Wilkes College? If it doesn 't, will the students and faculty of Wilkes College "sense the on-rushing tide" and attempt to establish a future within their own curriculums? 2. What is meant by futurism ·1 Classes in future studies range from intense seminars of five (5) or six (6) persons to semi-public mass audiences of up to 400. Practically every imaginable subject has been "futurized, " or stretched into the future . It appears that interaction between faculty and students is much more intense (Futurists tend to be highly interdisciplinary . types, addicted to group or team teaching or multi-staffed courses) than the traditional lecture-note taking pattern. 3. I personally believe this type of dynamic i_nfluence should be aggressively sought by· both Wilkes College students and faculty . What follows is a summary of the number of future courses (graduate and undergraduate ) available in North America during the 1971~72 Academic Year. Let 's add Wilkes College to this growing list. 11 Anthropology: 5 instructors , 6 courses . 2 Business Adm : 24 instructors , 30 courses. 9 Computer Science, Systems Analysis : 6 instructors , 10 courses. 16 Economics : 2 instructors , 2 courses.

Finally, the schools will be needing each other to successfully pull off the walkathon for the March of Dimes in April. In light of these workings and also out of the due respect King's deserves, I feel the comments on last week's Beacon were abhorring and indicate a lack of responsibility in a collegiate publication. Furthermore, our cohorts up the road, having worked hard to build a respectable institution, do not deserve the · thoughtless comments appearing in last week's Beacon. The most humiliating part of the situation was that the article was called to my attention by a Student Government representative from King's. Sincerely, Michael J.

College President Defends Rating' Students 1 (continued from March 8 issue) There is a body of opinion , how significant I do not know , which takes the view that the educational world would be improved if we never made any comparisons between individuals, and if our records reflected nothing more than a kind of equality among all students. This seems to me a total delusion . I ha ve spent too many years in the classroom , and had too many students, to , allow myself to believe that their academic aptitudes are all the same. This is a quite different thing from saying that the brightest of them were the most likable, the most sensitive, the most motivated , or even the most likely to succeed. Indeed , we know from their subsequent careers that the best students do not always score the greatest successes in life . But the public knows this as well as we do , and does not make its judgments solely upon grades which a student achieves in school. Whenwe act as though all students are equal we deceive only ourselves. Moreover, we are not even acting consistently with our own practices outside the academic arena. When we need a television repairman or a plumber at the house, we do not think they are all equal. When we build a house we do not hire a builder by drawing straws. When we attend the theater or the music hall we know very well that there are differences among the performing artists . When we watch athletic teams in action it is clear that some players are better than others. When we are about to undergo surgery we readily abandon any views we may have held about all doctors being the same. Why , then, should we be so reluctant about rating students? And why should we apologize for insisting that they perform at a high level of quality? To revert to may original exam ple , we would all take a very dim view of a surgeon who botched the job but who accomplished what he had set out to do. Why should we approve a thesis , or pass a student, or level our grading s·y steins simply beca use a student accomplished what he set out to do , regardless of whether it is of a quality which would seem to us consistent with university work ?.,.We may fool ourselves, but we do not fool others by doing so. Hig_h schools which award gFaduation certificates to students who read at a low grade-school level have not succeeded in convincing the public that a high school seal of approval means the same thing for all students. What reason is there to believe that our experience will be different if we choose 'to go in that direction? Given the reservations which I ha ve expressed about pass-fail , it will come as no surprise to you that I view pass-no entry as a far more dubious proposition , and . the arguments for it far less substantial. If the events of the last few years have proved anything, surely it 'is that the campus cannot isolate itself from real life . It follows that an , academic experience in which one can nver fail is contrary to ever other life experience which the student will have. Even in the tight little academic world il may have adverse effects. However desirable a more leisurely path through the university may be, it clearly favors the more affluent students. And in an institution like ours, in which applications for admission outrun our capacity , a pass-no entry system would produce pressure for some other control device , such as the eight-semester rule which was so vigorously opposed by many students. Grading systems are complex, and many of the best colleges which have experimented with either pass-fail or pass-no entry systems report sweeping changes withing a , year thereafter . It would be wrong for us to she! ter in the security of the present experience a nd practices, but it would be equally wrong for us to rush headlong into cam pus-wide changes and experim ents without controls . If the problem is that the certification function of the university in our society has become so important that anyone who does not have a degree is imm ediately disadvantaged, then let us attack the role of certification . There is considerable evi dence that there is already an increasing public acceptance of the fact that the university is not for everyone, and that the voyage to both happiness and success is not insured by attendance at an institution of higher education. If I am right , I would hope that we would have the courage to say so, and not be deterred by a misplaced sense of egalitarianism . · The author is president of the University of Michigan. �Page 4 THE BEACON Student Government . by Randy Steele Debate inflamed over the merits of - It sounds like a modest exaggeraan on-campus ministry during last tion, but Commuter Council PresiMonday night's Student Government dent Buddy Brezinski declared that meeting. over 1000 people participated in the Two representatives from the first day of the free book handout in First Presbyterian Church of the library.

Despite-the dismal log, first year coach, Joe Shaughnessy, can hardly wait 'til the start of next year's campaign. " Our entire varsity team will return, " noted Shaughnessy, "Prior to the start of the past season we had only two experienced swimmers in the lineup." Shaughnessy was extremely pleased about the progress made by diver Bob Krienke . · Krienke was "Mr. Consistency" for the Colonels, winning 12 first-places during the dual slate. He capped off the exploits with a second-place runnerup finish in the MAC Championships at Elizabethtown College. Accumulating 329.60 points , Krienke was a few digits short of the 343.35 total produced by the champion, Paul Stobie, Franklin & Marshall. Bob's brother, Doug, set the MAC tourney record last annum with a 345.85 showing. Another jewel in the Blue and Gold camp was sophomore sprinter, Barry Rasmussei1, who picked up four firsts in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. Barry was second to Krienke in total dual points with 70. Krienke had 96. Junior Jeff Walk was a close third with 66 points. Walk, who wrestled as a freshman, occupied the 200-yard breastroke and individual medley spots and showed steady improvement with five firsts. When the going got tough , Krienke, Rasmussen, and Walk joined with hman Gary Taroli to give the Colonels a lethal 400-yard freestyle relay, .. h .

Leskiew, who was labeled one of the best scholastic shortstops in the state, will also be utulized in the outfield because his offensive power is too good to waste.

This uniqu~ method utilizes a closed sterile system whereby donor blood is .collected in sterile plastic packets and the blood and plasma are ,.sepa• rated by centrifugal action. Immediately after the separation, the red cells are returned to the donor. Everyone in good health is eligible to enter the plasma donation program and our standards are exactly the same as those for regular whole-blood donations. The difference in the two types of donations lies in the fact that whole• blood donors may only give ONCE every 2 to 3 mon!hs whift, plasma don~rs can safely give TWICE A WEEK- thereby affording you the opportumty of earning MORE MONEY in the same period of time. Your earning ability as a donor, however, depends on your continuing state of good health. To this end, BP&C Inc. performs all necessary tests on our donors to insure the donor is healthy.

But unless we built up the military academies bigger than the largest universities in the land, they would have to elsewhere, too. (No university graduates 17,000 in one class, or an · close to that, and if West Point were built up to do so, it would comp! overshadow the combined colleges and graduate schools of such giants Notre Dame, NYU, Harvard, USC, Etc.) If the Armed Forces should follow past precedents, they could train lieutenants in a vast chain of Officer Candidate Schools at r encampments, similar to the crash program of WWII. Or they could expand the National Guard. Or both. Or come up with some new sch And there is no question that Congress would approve some such plan if colleges were to force the choice upon it. The debate might be bitter, Congress could not and would not simply tell the Defense Department couldn't have the junior officers it needs. Far-seeing commentators, on and off the campuses, have pointedout it is far better to keep ROTC, if only so that in our democracy a percentage of our military officers will be basically civilian-educated. alternative, they point out, is to create something like a "military The 1968-69 National Commander of The American Legion, William Doyle (himself a brigadier general in the New Jersey National Guard), warned that "the future of a civilian flavor in our officer corpi.. endangered by the universities that are discouraging ROTC." He a that "if 20 years hence educators complain that our officer corps is remote from civilian concepts'' they may not have to ''look beyond their doors for the cause." Though the Harvard Corporation finally disregarded his advice, H President Dr. Nathan M. Pusey sounded the same warning last Feb a published letter to Harvard's Arts-and-Sciences Dean, Franklin F Said Pusey: Mindful of the lessons of history and acutely aware·of the dangers democratic society in the existence of a corps of exclusively profess' officers , the Congress established the Reserve Officers Training Corps continuing basis when it became apparent that his country was destined maintain a large military capability for the indefinite future. In (Harv Corporation's view it would be short-sighted in the extreme if acad institutions were now to' withdraw their cooperation from the R program because of repugnance to an unpopular war. I am afraid that the "militants, " whose aim is simply to use the debate destroy ROTC, have won a degree of support from uneasy faculty mem who take such a narrow view of "military training " that they see no place it in educati~n.

In short, what we have avoided over the yea rs, is becomin[ a c ity with in a ci t y - branchi ng out, yet st ill be ing co mpletely independent. This would mea n a store o n cam pus, a snack' bar o pen daily, laundry facili t ies, and anything e lse t houg ht to be important to the convenience of t he Wi lke s fa m ily. We have most of the faciliti es, yet one thing is lacking, particula rly on weekends. We don't have access to a snack bar over a majo rity of the weekend. If a student living on campus wants a sandwich during the day on Saturday or Sunday, or Saturday even ing, he ha s to go some distance off campus to get such a delicacy. Stu,dent s and fac ulty studying in the li brary t hese days have no place to go for a break or a co ke. Since the fl ood, many of the areas th at wou ld no rmally service t he cam pus have not com~ back. Wilkes has put up without a Student Union Center but should we really be made to put up withou t regular acces~ to a snack bar and an informal place to gather? By havin g the Co mmons, an area a lready suited fo r such a service, o pen a large part of t he weekend, t wo major objectives would be accompl ished. One, students would have the much-needed facility, and studen,ts could p ick up a few extra dollars under the workstudy program.

Barrett Frosh Rep 'of S.G. ** * * The park ing problem at and around Wilkes College cont inues to be a major concern for commuting students. Meters surround the college on all four sides and a one-hour pc1.rking lim it is enforced where meters are not present. The commuting student pays over $2,000 per year for an education, yet the college feels new buildings, more classrooms and other problems outrank the perennial parking problem. Anyone with classes for three hours or more a day is forced, and we stress forced, to pay over a dollar to park in a municipal parking lot. Either that, or take the risk of being caught by the "eagle-eyed" meter maid who makes it her point to patrol Franklin, River, Northampton and South Streets like Wilkes students are the only people who overpark. The problem is not as severe at King's Coi'lege where the administration took it upon itself to build a parking garage which is less than five minutes from the farthest classroom. At King' s, it costs a student but 50 cents to park his vehicle for the whole day. A shuttle bus service allowing the students to park at Ralston Field and then be transferred ~ver by bus to the campus was tried. By lack of interest and use, this plan was discarded. Another solution was to try and have Park and Lock grant a reduced rate for Wilkes students, but this solution was deemed impossible. Apparently the only solution for this growing problem is to tear down King's College, have Wilkes buy the land and make Lee Auerbach it a parking area. Perhaps the land would serve more purpose Answers Back then than it is now! , To the Editor : Area , , Lighting Thrills SG Reporting Is Criticized Congratulations are in order for Matt Hughes and his article entitled " Auerbach Blasted " in last week's Beacon . Congratulations Matt for not going out and getting all the facts and congratulations•for misrepresenting the few you had . To set the record straight, Mr . Rubio , the Concert and Lecture artist on February 20, was met at the airport , taken on a tour of the Valley, the residential flood area and campus including a tour of the CPA, where he was most graciously met only by the cleaning woman mopping for his evening's performance. After a rest at the Sterling Hotel, Senior Rubio was picked up by Dean Edward Baltruchitis (Administrative Director of Concert and Lecture l and myself for dinner. At this time Dean Baltruchitis was made aware of Senior's vision impairment. With the spring weather coming up and more people taking to bicycle riding and walking as exercise, the question of adequate lighting comes to mind. One region of particular concern is the River Commons, an area used by members of the community and Wilkes students. Since the June flood last year, the string of lights set , up along the Commons area has not been operational. This affects the Wilkes campus directly, as part of the ,lighting used on the Commons helped light River Street, where student traffic to and from night classes is heavy. We might suggest that the Wilkes College Student Government, the lnter-Dorry,itory Council and the Commuter Council join in an effort to get the city of Wilkes-Barre to set up adequate lighting along the River Common. Wilkes College would be doing itself a favor and also aiding the community by acting on the lighting _situation.

Professor Paul Saltman University of Californis, San Diego By Campus Studies Institute, a division of World Research, Inc . rontinued on Page 8) College President Defends Rating' Students 1 The following is the first of a two-part article extracted from the Chronicle of Higher Education. Its author is Robert W. Fleming, president of . the University of Michigan . The point of view concerns rating students. "Recently , I spent one evening with an old friend and colleague who ranks clearly as one of America's most distinguished educators. He comes from one of our best universities . While reflecting on the world of higher education, he mentioned that he had recently served on a three-man doctoral committee. After reading the thesis he was convinced that it was not worthy of approval, and he informed his colleagues that he did not consider it to be of a caliber which that particular university should endorse . His fellow committee members thought this tended to be an elitist concept, that the real question was whether the individual had done what he started out to do, and that he should be tested against himself rather than others . This seemed to my friend , and I must admit to me, a discouraging and, in the long-rim , self-defeating road to follow . He thought there was a small, but significant, group at his university committed to this view . He wondered what I thought about our university, and I realized that I was not sure of the answer . There were, however, some straws in the the wind which bothered me. We do know that there are departments in which grade averages have moved up one full grade in the last few years. Is this because the students are so much better? This seems unlikely. Earlier I expressed both endorsement of, and reservations about, current experiments with the grading system .· The principal change in recent years has been in the direction of pass-fail. I think a pass-fail system has some real merit - but not for the reasons which some of its proponents advance. There are those who believe that it is wrong to compare students with one another in any way, or even to judge their work. They espouse pass-fail because they think it comes closer to their ideal than any other system which their colleagues will accept. Insofar as that is the purpose of a pass-fail system, I am in complete ' disagreement with it. To throw out pass-fail grading because there are those who hold the above view would, in my view, be an equal mistake . There are valid arguments for it. It amy very well enqmrage students who have· an interest in, but no aptitude for , a certain field to broaden their education without feeling the pressures of competition while doing so. When students are of the quality which we have, it may be that their education is improved by not working under the pressure of Jetter grades. We know that letter grades are not as precise as some would suggest. And there is food for thought in the fact that when faculty members are being evaluqted by their students they usually want somethi ng like 20 factors considered, whereas the student gets his grade largely as the result of examinations. The notion that pass-fail, as it is usually applied, is not a grading system is , of course, false. It simply replaces letter grades with individual evaluations. Indeed , these evaluations may not be very hard to translate into the traditional grading syslem . have had some personal experience with this, becuase an occasional student whom I get to know will ask me to write a letter on his behalf to a graduate school . When thi s happens, I naturally want to know something of his academic record, because my knowledge of the individual tends to be outside the elassroom . If his work has been practicaly all pass-fail, I ask to see the individual evaluations by the prof"essors. In reding through them, one has no difficulty understanding what kind of student this is. It is not, therefore , a system which forgoes comparison or declines to rate students, though its supporters must recognize the hazard that those who evaluate such transcripts will do little more than find shorthand ways of translating the personal evaluations into grades. In addition , the multiplicity and potential fuzziness of verbal evaluations may lead to nationwide certification and evaluat ion examinations. This is the system which many European countries use, and which is so unsatisfactory to many people who have first-hand experience with it."

Buddy Brezinski further noted that anyone else with such tickets must settle up with the College soon. The last campus dance dropped a sizable $300. A spokesman for the Dance Committee explained that the student body simply was not turning out . Jim Fiorino suggested that the Wilkes Community Effort take over the project and aim the dances at a broader population. Maureen Kortbawi further suggested that better planning and the avoidance of conflicts would result in larger crowds. The Newspaper Committee was Flood Research Done By Dept.

Projects include a research design project by two sociology students, a dissertation being prepared by Roy Martin and a complete past project by Meade Kemrer's sociology 101 class.

Matt, on the morning of Mr . Bond 's lecture, the college received an anonymous phone call making a threat on his life. Due to an attempted attack on a previous concert and lecture speaker, Father James Croppi, we took every precaution possible on this matter. You were asked to leave the reading room so that a private and secure interview could be held for local media and so that the side entrance to the stage, accessable through the reading room , could be secured.

Mrs. Ralston's first major recital in the area was held Tuesday, March 6, at the Elm Park Recital Hall, 712 Linden Street, Scranton.

Later, when Roberts was actively involved with th.e Young Musicians organization, Mrs. Ralston sang the leading role in Gian-Carlo Menotti's "The Medium."

The Marines have no campuses, though Naval officers are now and then assigned toa with Marine units. ROTC units exist by mutual agreement - a contract - between the separate colleges and the Armed Forces.

Selection was made by members of this year's Colonel varsity cage squad. A tie at one of the guard positions resulted in six men being voted to the second annual unit. Returnees from last year's alignment are Albright's 6-1 junior guard, Paul Mellini, and Lycoming College's 6-4 junior sharpshooter , Rich Henniger. Also voted to the star studded team were John Lang , 6-3 freshman guard, Madison FDU ; Kevin Morrissey, 6-0 senior guard, East Stroudsburg State; Jack Maher , 6-3 freshman . forward , Scranton ; and Dan Branch, 6-6 junior center , Wilmington. Wilkes concluded the past season with a 13-11 record. It was only the eighth winning season in the 27-year history of the sport at the college. The Blue and Gold are coached by Rodger Bearde. Henninger, who scored 105 points against the Colonels in three games a year ago, picked up where he left off, slicing the cords for 51 markers this annum . Despite his performance, the Wilkesmen captured a pair of 100-61 and 77-72 victories over the Williamsport based team. Albright gave Wilkes a 75-65 jolt at home early in the year and it was backcourt ace Mellini who again spearheaded the Colonels demise. Mellini proved devastating in the tilt, pumping home 23 points most of which came from the outside. One of Coacrr Bearde's biggest wins was a 94-76 nod over Madison FDU. While the Jersey Devils were having an off night on the road, John Lang amazed the highly partisan home fans with a 17-goal, 35-point production. Prime mover in East Stroudsburg 's great season was floor general Kevin Morrissey . The Warrior guard was extremely painful against Wilkes, dropping in 39 points over two games which the _ E-burgers won, 70-61. If Jack Maher had started hitting earlier , it would have been a different story as Wilkes tripped the Scranton Royals, 102-84. The Scranton yearling was torrid in the second half, connecting on most of his 22 points. · Completing the sextet was Wilmington's Dan Branch, who unloaded for 26 against Wilkes and signalled an unhappy evening with a brilliant rebounding display .

This program, unlike student teaching , is one in which the student is paid while he is learning more about his chosen profession. The Accounting Internship Program composes the largest part of a three-credit course, Accounting 252. This course is taken in the second semester of the senior year. The actual work period for students extends from January 22 to March 16. The students are placed on the basis of interviews with potential employers in October of the preceding year. The student may be given several job offers and has the opportunity to choose from among these employers. The rare student who does not receive a job offer must take another course in lieu of Accounting 252 . Salaries are less than the regular employees are paid, although salaries can go as high as $700 per month. From this salary , a student is required to pay for all living'expenses (such as food , clothing and housing). While on the job, the student is observed on one occasion by either Paul Zavada or Robert Ca pin. This observation entails a conferen..:ewith the individual student and his immediate supervisor, so as to arrive at a fair evaluation. Upon returning to campus, the student must finish his academic work load on an accelerated basis. The student is required to write a summary of ·e xperiences while involved with the program . Below is the list of students who are now in the Accounting Internship Program for this semester: STUDENT FIRM LOCATION John Benavage Lybrand, Ross Bros. &Montgomery Boston, Mass . ~e~ior mu~ic majors on the Wilkes College Campus who are planning a career in teaching began pre-clas Susan Manna Lybrand, Ross Bros. &Montgomery Philadelphia, Pa.

VIEWPOINT WCLH 90.7 FM Wilkes College Listening Habit by Linda Stevens This past Saturday, another first occurred at WCLH. The finals of ~he Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestling Tournament were broadcasted hve from West Chester, Pa . over WCLH. The effort was sponsored by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, the Lettermen 's Club and Student Government. Broadcasters and engineers included George Pawlush, director of sports information for Wilkes College, Pat Burke, Owen Costello, Jay Thomas and Tony Pietrzykoski. Presently , WCLH also broadcasts Wilkes' basketball games ~ive and ne~t year hopes to expand into all other campus sports .. Anyone mterested_m sports broadcasting is asked to stop by the WCLH stud10s l?Cated on the tlurd floor of the music building . There are also openings avadable on the news staff for anyone who would like to rewrite news stories from the newspaper. For any interested student teachers, George Siles of the education department has originated a show on WCLH intended for elementary school children. On this show, the kids, all from local schools, interview each other about their hobbies, pets and activities, and special features include a joke of the week and a record of the week. The program offers great fun for both the kids and the student teachers, so any student teacher who would like any of his students to appear on the show is asked to contact Siles. Siles also has another show which spotlights educational leaders in Wyoming Valley. This past Monday, Jozia Mieszkowski, artistic coordinator for the Ballet Society of Wyoming Valley, was featured. She discussed plans for the first ballet production of the year, which will be held at the Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, March 24 at 8 p.m . and on Sunday at 2 p.m. Siles' show can be heard regularly on WCLH on Mondays at 8 p.m . Future guests include: Mrs. Gloria Whitman, Dallas Elementary School Guidance Counselor on M~rch 5; Gerald Wycolis , principal in the Dallas Area School District on March 12; Richard Fuller, professor of Art Education at Wilkes College and Mrs. Rosalie Nutaitis, art instructor at Wyoming Valley West on March 19; Lynn Werkheiser, superintendent of the Dallas Area School District and Mrs. Gloria Whitman on March 26. WCLH will soon be putting out a complete program guide. It will include a listing of the programs which can be heard on WCLH and the times at which they can be heard . One valuable feature of this guide is that it will also include a description of each program to let you know what it's about. The program guide will be available free of cost at the library, commons and other highly-frequented spots on campus - look for it! • Library Open-House' 1 The Wilkes College library is holding an open house through March 3 for the benefit of local libraries and other libraries devastated by the June flood last year. Wilkes has received over the past few months thousands of books donated by universities, colleges, AFROTC nationwide campaigns and private contributi ons. Within the "basement storehouse" of the library there are now books that are duplicates or unsuitable for the college collection. Wilkes is therefore taking this opportunity to share these with other educational institutions throughout the Wyoming Valley who were equally hard hit by the June devastation. Auerbach Blasted On Tuesday, February 20, the Concert and Lecture Series presented Miguel Ribio, a classical guitarist. The treatment afforded to Mr. Rubio prior to the concert by those in charge of the program is, I admit, unknown to me . After a phenomenal performance, there was no hospitality shown to him by Lee Auerbach or any other college "diplomats" that are ever present when a more noted personality makes an appearance. Mr. Rubio, who evidently has a vision proglem, was left to his own devices to return to the Hotel Sterling. Finally, an official of the college asked a student to escort him to the hotel and he was driven by two students, one an officer of Cue 'n' Curtain, who are in no-way connected with the Concert and Lecture Series or Student Government. If not for this unofficial hospitality, Mr . Rubio would have been· alone and friendless in a strange city with a poor conception of Wilkes_ students, faculty and administration . In any case, this was nothing but shoddy treatment of a guest artist by Mr. Auerbach and others involved in this program . It seems that when someone a little more well known or appealing to Mr. Auerbach appears, such as Jean Shepard, Jack Anderson or Jose Greco, he becomes their shadow and assigns himself the position of official college ass-kisser. (the Beacon may substitute the word 'brown-noser or whatever they deem appropriate.) On the occasion of Julian Bond's appearance here last year, Mr. Auerbach took it upon himself to ask me to leave the Reading Room of the C.P.A . when I had every right to be there as a member of the theater staff on the job that night. If auerbach is to assume this role as " host" to visiting artists, I suggest that he extend his " hospitality " to everyone, including performing artists. If he doesn't have time for Lillian Gish on March 8, I offer the services of myself and Cue 'n' Curtain to make Miss Gish welcome to Wilkes. But then again, Lillian Gish is a known personality , so I guess there will be no need . .. Matt Hughes President , Cue 'n' Curtain �Page 4 Editorially Speaking What's An Advisor? The faculty advisor is becoming a forgotten person on the Wilkes College campus. As a m?tter of fact, we'd be willing to bet at least half of the students on campus don't even know their faculty advisor's name. It's an ironic state. Every year in September, the Administration spends the ti me and money to serid out in the mail to incoming freshmen a card telling them the name of their advisor. Unfortunately, that is as far as it goes. The job, or alleged job, of the faculty advisor, is to help the student along in his academic matters. He is the one who is supposed to be there when the student has a problem. It's a good thing the faculty advisor of each student has to sign the student's pre-registration form or he would virtually be non-existent. Who's fault is it? It's both the student and advisor whQ are to blame. Most faculty advisors make little or no effort to contact the students they advise and vice-versa. As sad as it may seem, many of the so-called advisors are incompetent. This resu Its in the student's needing to take extra credits his senior year to make up for credits he never needed in earlier years. The faculty advisor system needs a good looking over by the administration before it becomes totally forgotten. It is by far a good program because if, and we stress if, the faculty knew the required courses, it would alleviate many headaches for students in their senior year. It should be stressed that the Administration should either stop wasting the eight-cent stamp to send out the card _ to each freshman or make the faculty advisor system worth while. As it stands now, students are barely getting their eight cents' worth out of the program. Think It Over The first theater production of the spring semester at Wilkes College will be presented Friday, Salu Sunday. March !J, 10 and 11 at 8 p.m . in the Center for the Performing Arts. The Wilkes Theater, under the direction of Alfred Groh, will stage a production of Bertolt Brecht's, " Woman of Setzuan," with original music composed by Stefan Wolpe. An additional high school preview performance will be presented on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Final rehearsals are currently under way at the CPA. Shown, left to right, are: Ruthanne Jones, Kil Fran Polakowski, Tom Polifka and David Schimmel. Assisting in the production is Joseph Salsburg, with stage design by Klaus Holm, veteran stage a The performances are open to the student body and general public free of charge.

SG Elections Meeting To This year Wilkes College students are faced with an important issue that will affect not only the current student body, but the entire student body for many years to come. We are asked to vote on the acceptance of a newly drawn-up constitution for Student Government. . The past two weeks the Beacon has run the entire Constitution in the hope that the student body will take the time_ to read it over carefully before deciding to pass the · leglslation as it is Jjrbposed. Reading through the Constitution as it now stands, we have found several loopholes, which not only provide for the supreme control by members of the Student:Government, but a"lso provide them with an out, should people get into power who might chose to take complete advantage of the power delegated . to them by the Constitution. The upcoming election schedule for Student Government representatives and class officers was announced during last Monday night 's SG meeting. Nominations for these offices will be held on March 15 followed by the elections on March 22. Also, SG will hold nominations for their 1973-74 , president on the eve· of March 22.

Over the years , the POW wing gradually established a military command structure with local commanders, executive officers and deputies in charge of operations, intelligence and training . (For fear of North Vietnamese reprisals , the returning POW's were carefully shielding the identity of the wing commander-in-chief-who remains in Hanoi.) The senior officers within this group exercised farreaching powers. The wing command even promoted three sergeants to officers, with the understanding that the commissions were subject to review and approval by the Pentagon, the White House and Congress. Working with their own appointed chaplains, one group of PO W's compiled an abridged Bible from memory-and the wing tapped its own historian to chronicle the story of the camps.

If 6,000 signatures, in petition form, are received by March 14, 1973, voters will then have a chance in May to elect an 11-person commission to study our government at a county level. This charter commission will then have a 9-12-month period to study our system and decide if it needs to be revised. Correct Procedures The key right now, according to Andrew Shaw, director of the Institute of Regional Affairs and head of the college's political science department, is getting the procedures in correct form. Shaw states, "When signing a petition, be sure you have met all the requirements to make it valid. Make sure you are a registered voter of Luzerne County and make sure not to use ditto marks or any other abbreviations. Failure to follow these procedures invalidates your signa lure ." Shaw also emphasizes the immediate goal of the program . He says, "Our firs't goal is just to get the commission started. It's imperative that we get a look at our government (county level) at a first-hand level. Any changes can be made later, but we must first get the commission started." Voter Registration If the 6,000 signatures are recei_ved by deadline date March 14, then part two of the program gets rolling. The second function is to find 11 people to work on the commission. The panel is open to anyone who is a registered Luzerne County voter . To be eligible, if you meet the above criteria, just have a petition signed as if you were running for any county office. When this is done, your name will appear on the ballot. Party designations will not be listed by the nominee's name, as to not influence voters in that way. Needless to say, every civic and citizens organization in the county is backing the charter study idea . Playing a bit part in getting petitions signed is ·Student Government President Mike Barski. Other groups involved are Flood Task Force , also under the direction of Shaw, and Flood Victims Action Council, under the leadership of Min Matheson. Andrew Shaw Mike Barski Barski College Coordinator Six Area Colleges Join To Aid In Petition Drive Mike Barski, Student Government president, will head the collegiate effort in trying to get petitions signed concerning the charter study commission.

Let's not pass it up and wait for the other guy, but go out and sign the petition in the correct way, or better yet, go to Mr . Shaw's office, in Franklin Hall , get a petition and have it signed. This is not an idea to be taken lightly. Without the 6,000 correct signatures by March, the commission goes out the window . With the signatures and the commission, the word "democracy" will finally mean something!

During that period college students we·re the first group to jump into the program and start clean-up campaigns of their own. It was not unusual for whole groups and organizations to spend free weekends cleaning up parks and other facilities. So college students must be the neatest people in the country. Right? Wrong, at least not as far as the student body of Wilkes College is concerned. Students this year returned to a flood ravaged campus, with piles of mud and debris left out on the street. Over the months, that situation has been cleared up, but something else remains - litter throughout the campus. Student Government President Mike Barski suggested installing "Colonel" garbage cans to remind the students to put litter in its proper place. A cute idea, but is it really necessary? A natural d isaster such as the one that hit the Wyoming Va lley last June is one thing. But the human-related problem is anbther. We cannot always control the natural forces, but , we can contro l our own environment. Make it a point the next time you attend a Wilkes function: pr walk out of the Commons with a cup of coffee to put the trash in a can . We CAN control the beauty of our campus. Community Effort Next Tuesday Mike Barski, collegiate coordinator for a Luzerne County effort to create a charter commission to study our government at a county level, has called for a mass meeting of all commuter students at 11 a.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. The key to the success of the effort right now is the collection -of a minimum of 6,000 signatures on a petition to move to create a study commission. This is not a direct move to ct,ange the government. Rather · it is a move to create a commission to look at the present system of government in Luzerne County and see what changes, if any, are required. You, as members of this community can make it a point ,to become involved and learn the issues, and actually do something about the system of government you are living under. If a total of six schools in the general area really get in volved in this effort, the 6,000 signatures could be obtained on the collegiate leve l. The only requirement is that you must be a registered voter in Lu zerne County . In addition to the drive to get the legislation on the ballot this year, Wilkes Student Government intends to start a voter registration campaign. If you are 18 years,of age and have not registered, make it a point to take advantage of registering on campus. And if you were registered and have not re-registered, make it a point to take advantage of registering on campus. And if you were registered and have not re:registered since the flood, make it a point to do so. You now have the opportunity to take an active part in your future, with a minimum of effort. Take ad\Bntage of it. • *• Cheap. Sil/up Replies To Spencer's Addres Thrills *· This letter is in answer to Mr . Brent Spencer's opinionated address concerning the apathy of Wilkes College students. To begin with in being a self-appointed spokesman for the students who obviously do not ail share his point of view, Mr . Spencer's vicious attack on the " degenerate" social pursuits of Wilkes College students puzzles me. Whether he is inferring that the social functions are not reputable or that they are unnecessary eludes me. It is true that education is the primary purpose of our college, ,with its high academic standards. However , the social functions not only provide a necessary phase in \he maturation of the college s,tudent, but also a chance to become better acquainted with the administrative personnel of Wilkes College. Furthermore in his-assault on the Beacon's reporting os proting events, Spencer . criticizes an important aspect of character building as well as degrades the Beacon's presentation of them . In closing , it is important to point out to Mr. Spencer that without the plays , expositions , clubs, films , Manuscript writings - a former practice of Mr . Spencer's which has succumbed to his recent letter writing - sporting events, Student Government functions , the Beacon and the Amnicola, and other student activities college life would cease to exist. In forwarding his criticism, Spencer denounces the activities of the majority of Wilkes College students. An attitude such as Spencer's is offensive and would lead to a system of greater apathy. · George P.

Age Proposed To the Editor: " In Pennsylvania an 18-year-old can buy a barroom - but he can't buy a drink in his own establishment." This was the.opening statement of an editorial comment entitled "Lower Drinking Age" which appeared in the " Times-Leader Evening NewsRecord" newspaper dated January 18, 1973. This is quite a paradox in itself. The Pennsylvania liquor law as it stands would , therefore, make it mandatory for every 18 to 20-year-old who owns a bar to be arrested and jailed. Why? Weil , in order to carry on his establishment, he would have to purchase liquor either directly or indirectly . Doing this he would, therefore, be breaking the law because even the act of buying liquor is unlawful. Obviously the law is not sound and should be corrected or changed . If this article bothers you , don't end your interest by putting this paper down and just -commenting . Do your part - be active. Get involved in a united movement to get the legislature to lower the drinking age in Pennsylvania . You now hold a powerful instrument in your hands the power of a vote.

On hand for the presentation were, left to right: R.P. Power, regional distribution manager; S.F. Davies, vice presieent of Westinghouse Corporation, Philadelphia; Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College; and Thomas Kelly, director of development at the college. In a letter addressed to Dr. Michelini, George E. Moore, executive secretary of the Foundation, stated, "The Trustees were impressed with your significant efforts to rebuild after this massive damage, and the favorable response you have received from the community-at-large, industry, and the federal government. .. "We would appreciate being kept informed of your progress toward complete campus renewal. We wish you every success in your dedicated educational mission in the greater Wilkes-Barre area." Immediately following the June disaster, Wilkes was faced with two massive problems - the immediate problem of restoring the campus physically so that classes and educational facilities could be resumed, and the long-range problem of how to continue with innovations and expansion in keeping with pre-flood planning. Thanks to the aid provided by the federal government, Wilkes was able to snap back physically and with the aid of private firms and grants, the college will be well on the way to greater revitalization.

Is administration of the military a sufflc1entl_y _important p~ofession, sufficiently requiring highly educated m_en, suf~1c1ently receptive to such men, to justify university training? Fmally, 1s th_ere any f~ndamental ethical or ac<1demic incompatibility between th~ ideals of _higher education and the ideals of the military? T_he quest10n of the importance of the military speedily answers itself. While we may expect some further cuts, the national expenditures for armed forces are likely to remain above 50 or 60 billion dollars per year. Clea_rly th~ men runn_ing expenditures of that kind are important enough to m_entquahty profess10nal education. The military compares in importance w~th other professions, and will continue to do so even if, as we all devoutly wish, there are no future major wars. . If we me~sure ~he tasks of the military in other ways - their effect on the lives of the1r soldiers, the effect of their military actions on the lives of other people - we cannot doubt the importance of a high degree of education for ou~ officers. A half hour of immqturity on the part of one ill-educated junior officer can affect our whole national image adver'sely. m_u~t conclude in answer to the first question that our colleges and umvers1tites have an important responsibility for education of our military leaders comparable to their responsibility for education of other leaders of our society . Are the services receptive to university trained men? There is no doubt of the answer to part of the question. All three services would rather commission college graduates . The 511 ROTC units and the OCS programs for college graduates are adequate evidence of service desire for men educated by civilian institutions. There is, however, another aspect of this question which is more difficult to answ~r. Are the armed services really willing to accept men whom the umyers1ty has_ e?ucated for th~ military, or do they merely want to inject their own trammg programs mto the university where the bulk of the promising_ candidates ar_e to ~e found? Profe~sional education is typically a partnership between umvers1ty and profess10n. Are the military services ( "the professitm"l willing to make a real partnership with the universities and c?lleges? If not, the university obligation becomes. small. · Until the recent ROTC controversy, the issue of the exact nature of the partners?iP between academia and the armed forces has not been raised. Many umver~ities paid little or no attention to the quality of ROTC courses, or of ROTC mstructors. The services planned their curricula with little attention to the differing capacity of students at different universities. It is to be hoped that this attitude of mutual unconcern has now come to an end, tha~ universities will actively supervise their ROTC programs, and that the serv1c~s _will welcome and work with this cooperation. If the concept of partnership m ROTC becomes more effective, the turmoil of the last year or so will have served a useful purpose. Our final and key question is whether or not higher education and military education are incompatible. A careful look at the academic compatibility of military education requ1res a delimitation of education itself. What are the parameters of a liberal education? It seems to me that there are. two major boundary lines which we should respect. . F1_rs~ of all, _the courses should include material that either requires a d1sc1plmed mmd to handle, or helps to develop a disciplined mind . Mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics, history and foreign languages are all examples of such fields. The portion of memory or of reasoning power required may vary from course to course but all of these are "hard" subjects. There are other fields of study whi~h can be hard subjects. Second, among the characteristics of a liberal education I would include the necessity of some variety. Good hard instruction in chemistry alone or economics alone will not necessarily produce the kind of trained sensitive mi?d which liberal education should help to produce. Even though our academic "requirements" of differing courses seem clumsy, they do help to open a person 's mind to a variety qi differing approaches to most of the problems of life . Such variety is essential to a liberal education. The third general characteristic of a liberal education which I would ~emand is more controversial. It seems to me that an education is not really liberal unless ~he educators feel some sense of responsibility to help the student thmk his way towards a better world. This better world need not be strictly a "do-gooder" paradise. It may be the spiritual world of the trained theological thinker. It may be some kind of scientific Utopia. To me it is the shaping of institutions which give every individual a real chance to make s_omething of himself. All I am saying is that I would not wish to keep on a hberal arts faculty a person who had no ambition for better things to come. It should be noted that these three simple criteria are different from several other frequently advanced criteria of a liberal education. I have little patience with the view of one educational fraternity that liberal education is at its best in women's colleges with a large number of majors in English and history. · "!e There is also little basis for the argument that a liberal education must be of no vocational val':1e· It seems to me that a young man in engineering, may secure a good liberal education if he has enough social science and human_ities c?urses. In fact, ~s a distinguished leader of American higher educat10n pomted out to me m the 1950's, some of the engineering schools were movmg towards a genuine liberal education, while the liberal arts colleges were moving towards highly specialized majors which really did not always produce liberally educated graduates . If ':<e have now a_ fairly reasonable series of boundaries of what we mean by liberal educat1~n, that is, genuine intellectual fields of knowledge, carefully explored, m some reasonable variety, with some desire of teacher a~d- student ~?r em~lo~ment i? the interest of society, how may the study of military subJects fit mto a liberal education? A brief look at the problem of materials of instruction in a military educat10n shows how frequently they have civilian analogies among the r~ugh subjects. Military ,history is, of course, a significant part of general history, and can only be understood with some knowledge of general history. Military engineering is, of course, an important part of general engineering. In fact, the study of engineering in the United States owes a great deal to early developments at West Point. Military psychology is an important part of regular psychology. Military administration and organization have been an important part of general studies in these fields . It is clear that these fields of military ipstruction are as much "hard subjects" as the academic counterparts from which they come. To that extent, military education is within the parameters of a liberal education.

A large part of the thievery occurs in dormitories where many of the students leave their doors unlocked all day. With the large number of people coming and going all day on a typical campus, it becomes an easy matter for the thief to simply walk from room to room and take what he pleases.

Different persons have pondered, " Why can't several companies sell class rings on a competitive basis? " Wll, it now appears this will become a reality . Miss Millie Gittins, who is head of the bookstore , stated the administi:ation has given her permission to contact three companies to sell class rings for the 1973-74 school year. Tnis will create an air of competition between the companies, and the advantage to the students is that they will be given a l.;rger selection of rings to choose from and at better prices . Miss Gittins further stated that one company will offer the convenience of sending the ring to the student C.O.D . He will not have to make a deposit . She went on to say, "Another advantage of this n·ew system is that the student can come in anytime during or even after his senior year to purchase his class ring . The student does not have to place his order in his junior year.
