Widely known throughout Europe and the United States, Rubio studied under the master of the classical guitar, Andres Segovia . He was a student of Daniel Forea , and later of Sainz dela Maza, with whom he studied for 10 years , both privately and at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid from which he graduated with 1 honors. Rubio also studied five summers with Segovia, often called the world's greatest living guitarist. Maestro Segovia calls his pupil "An excellent musician and guitarist, who deserves to be well known by all the lovers of music. Rubio has done several college and university performances, with the greatest success. "The New York Times" writes, "His assets - as displayed in music by Gaspar Sanz, Bach, Rameau, Sor, Villa Lobos, Falla and others-mark him as a musician worth hearing again: a big opulent . tone; a keen ear for exploiting the guitar's orchestral colors; a sound if not infallible technique; and the sort of refined good taste that can rarely be learned." His program Tuesday evening will cover such classical composers as Gaspar Sanz, Sylvius Leopold Weiss, J.S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Mateo Carcassi, Mauro Giuliani, Ferdinando Carulli and Fernando Sor. A second section of the program covers South American and Spanish Composers of the Twentieth Century. Among them are : Antonio Lauro, Agustin Barrios, Federico A. Cordero. Raul Borges, Enrique Granados, Federico M. Torroba and Isaac Albeniz. This program and all concert and lecture series programs are open to the public free of charge . Miguel Rubio • WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PA.

The benefits from this new program have not as yet been determ ined. But the outcome, as it will directly affect students attending small private colleges such as Wilkes, is clear. The President has announced an inte ntio n to fund th is new program at the ex pense of t hree federa l student aid programs t hat have been operat ive and have been providing badly needed funds to students fo r a number of years. These include the Education Opportunity Grants, National Defense Student Loans and College Work Study Programs. This means that come next fall, you , the student, might very well be in the hole as far as your college education is concerned. If you are receiving any of the above-mentioned financial aid , there's the possibility that you won't continue to receive it when the next academic year begins. Right now there is something you can do to let President Nixon know that you are concerned. Take the time to send a card or letter to your federal representatives asking them to do everything with in their power to see that the present student aid programs are fully funded for the 1974~75 academic year. In many cases your educational fu t ure will depend on actio n taken ·now. A Question Of Responsibility Hatfield Proposes: Dismantle Draft Sen. Mark 0 . Hatfield, R-Ore., proposed legislation to dismantle the Selective Ser vice System and a constitutional amendment that would req uire a national referendum to reinstate military conscription . The Nixon a dministration announced recently it was halti ng the dra ft but wanted the Selective Service System kept in place in case it is needed in the future. Ha tfield said that , "achieving a volunteer a rm y , and ending the Vietnam wa r remove the reason for retention of the Selective Service System ," noting the a dmini stration has budgeted $55 milli on for it in the next fisca l year. "If there is not a ny need fo r the Presidenl to ha ve the a uthority to induc t men into the milita ry, then I believe there is no reason why the draft structure should remain," he said in his speech for the Senate. Hatfield sa id it is not necessar y to mainta in a draft structure to insure a quick reac tion in case manpower is needed for the mili tar y in the future. Security problems often occur when doors are left unlocked for an extended period of time. In order to solve this problem, women's dormitories are to remain locked 24 hours a day and every student is to carry a key. Periodic checks of doors will be made by security guards, and all offenses will be reported in order to provide greater safety. Women residents also are reminded to travel in groups during the evening hours and that common sense should be a guide in reacting to a situation or preventing a potential security problem. Students shou Id be aware of these measures and follow through on them to prevent future security problems. In addition, Student Government President Mike Barski announced that a buzzer system would be installed in the future, aiding in much quicker response. * Cheap.*• Thrill *· Notice • * ** Thursday, February l5 J.V.

Dr. Ernest Sternglass, director of the radiology physics laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, and representatives of local conservation groups will meet with Governor Shapp in Harrisburg this week to push their demand for a moratorium on the licensing and construction of nuclear power plan ts. The nuclear physicist says action on future atomic power stations should be frozen until what he called "serious questions of health and safety can be resolved. At a recent meeting with representatives of the Friends of the Earth's Environment and the Pittsburgh and Beaver County Citizens Conservation Corps, the controversial physicist reiterated his claim that in the Beaver County community of Aliquippa, located near Duquesne Light Company's nuclear plant at Shippingsport, there have been significant increases in letJkemia and infant mortality rates since the reactor began operating. Dr. George K. Tokuhata, an official of the State Department of Health, has said, however, that Sternglass' approach was "highly unscientific." "I'm not saying he is completely wrong," Tokuhata said, "I'm just saying so far there has been no evidence to prove he is right." Duquesne Light has plans to construct two more nuclear reactors at Shippingsport.

Abortion View Offered by Mark Carmon The touching poem and accompanying photograph carried in last weeks issue of the BEACON (Feb .8, 1973) points out the underlying problem concerning the matter of abortion. That problem is the over emotionalization of this method of birth control. . In an overpopulated and underfed world, abortion has proven itself an ex_ell~nt method of birth control in such areas as Japan, India and China. :Within a comprehensive program of family planning , abortion must be included as a method for women who chose not to utilize or have no access to the "Pill" or other contraceptive measures . The recent Supreme Court that allows for abortion during the first six month~ of pregnancy has brought widespread opposition, mostly from the Cathol~c church or organizations affiliated with the Church. Population and ecol~g1cal expert_s agree that abortion, in a program of family counseling, is a rat10nal ~ecess1ty to stem the seemingly endless cycle of overpopulation. The V_atican r~fuses J_o budge from its arch~ic and apocalyptic dogma concerning abort10n. This stance would deprive this country and world of a me~~ure that could halt this planet 's headlong rush to an overpopulated obhv10n . T~e roots of the Church's stubborn opposition lie in the pre-Malt_hus1an pa~t when the world was not faced with the problem of a geometric population growth curve versus an arithmetic food and land resou~ce ~urve . By striking a delicate balance between the practical exped1enc1es and the moral questins of abortion, the Supreme Court has done this country a great service. It has removed the influence of the Church and forced the states to revise their laws up to a point until the decision for or against abortion is placed in its rightful place, with a woman and her doctor.

Last rites . The hour-to-hour way we live. God is in our minds every time we hit the trench. An hour later true-time takes over and fills us up with love remembered or good-time love to come. I killed a man today. The only thing I'd hurt before was you one time while making love and then I only kissed too hard. How does it feel to kill? Like dying lonesome and unloved yourself. Like cutting living grass, or loosing all your marbles in a match that wasn't right. They are not dummies on an infiltration field the silent enemy breathes too. Someone should have told me that before I ran that endless field. When true-time takes me over now after God has held my mind awhile, I think of love. I love my fellow man perhaps a little more today. Tomorrow I'll go gently then and give the other side a chance.

There are at least 145,000 North Vietnamese soldiers in the south and President Thieu has one million men under arms. What Is Hanoi's Biggest Concession?

The Watergate And The Ells berg Trials They appear to have something in common.

The defense in the Ellsberg-Russo trial is developing a similar theses that because the defendants thought publishing the Pentagon Papers was so morally desirable, releasing classified secrets was legally justifiable.

Is it true? A few weeks ago several students expressed concern to this editor that "the old Wilkes College spirit just ain't what she used to be." They maintained that fan appreciation at other schools is much more boisterous and lively and that the zombie-look is the "now thing" for Wilkes College spectator as he stolidly sits and yawns his enthusiasm for marvelous athletic feats . We talked to a few people to get a better perspective on this problem and arrived at the conclusion that there is far from total agreement on the matter. Student Government President and Public Address man at all Colonels basketball and wrestling contests, Mike Barski stated, "Due to the effects of the flood, the spirit is unique this year. Maybe not so much the spirit, as the scheduling which gave us an overabundance of home contests during semester break and Christmas vacation." He noted, though, that many out-of-staters made the trip to Wilkes for events over the vacation period. Athletic director and head wrestling coach, John Reese, attributes fan reticence to "a greater level of sophistication" on the part of the college student. "Fan-wise, college kids aren't as noisy as high school kids . College students are more knowledgeable and cheer only when an important action happens, or when they anticipate its happening." ying a second half geyser- ' Final countdown starts tomorrow evening on the last full week of Wilkes College's winter athletic program. Wrestling will go out with a big boom as the Colonel matmen entertain arch-rival East Stroudsburg tonight and then conclude their dual slate Saturday, hosting Massachusetts and Army in a triangular .

After a 7-9 off-year last winter, the Warriors have shown constant improvement with the return of Coach Clyde "Red" Witman from a year of sabbatical leave. East Stroudsburg was 11-6 at last count.

Trailing 35-30 at intermission, the Blue and Gold under ·Coach Bearde rallied to take a 58-52 lead with 4: 10 remaining in the game . The Colonels were forced to fend off a feverish Crusader rally which fell short. Offensive pacesetters for the locals were Steve Ference, 13; Mark Ca terson , 12; and Greg Buzinski, 10. The host team was paced by the scoring antics of Jim Eaglin who netted 22 points . Caterson Stars A layup by Caterson with five seconds left proved to be the margin of victory as Wilkes defeated Moravian at the South Franklin Street gymnasium, 48-46. Both teams featured deliberate offenses and tight man-for-man defenses . The win brought the Colonels to the .500 level at 9-9, while Moravian slid to 4-13. The Greyhounds are in a rebuilding year and have only one senior on the roster. Appropriately, it was Caterson who led the scoring parade for the Blue and Gold with 14 points. Ference aided the Colonels' cause with 10 points. Wilkes jumped out to an early 6-0 lead but Moravian battled back to take a 24-22 lead with 2: 22 left till halftime. Caterson's two foul shots gave the home forces a precarious 26-25 lead at intermission. The lead changed hands several times as Mehalick, a talented 6'5" freshman, repeatedly sparked rallies for the visiting Greyhounds. Moravian tied the score at 46-46 with : 40 left after a foul was called on Mark Caterson. The Colonels then proceeded to methodically run the clock down to : 10 and called time out.

One of the individuals who had the courage to sign his name to a was Brent Spencer. In a rather lengthy letter Spencer covered such as typographical errors , appointments and writing. Plans have been finalized for the seventh annual Wilkes College Science Exposition to be held Saturday on the college campus. Shown at one of their preparation meetings are members of the committee: Seated, left to right- Pat McCarthy, West Orange, N.J.; Ann Orzechowski, chairperson, Wilkes-Barre; Janet Waxmonsky, Port Blanchard; and Pat Ryzinski, Nanticoke.

Open to area high school students, the exposition will include demonstrations in the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, mathematics, physics and psychology. Psychiatrist Makes 'House Calls' "A family is like a drama company," says one southern psychiatrist, so he goes to see the play. By making house calls that last a few hours or a few days, Dr. Alfred Messer of Atlanta, Georgia, can diagnose the problems of the whole family. He observes how they communicate, what roles they play and how they fit into the family unit. "It's important today that the psychiatrist know all the factors affecting his patient," Dr. Messer explains in the December Science Digest, and replacing the couch with house calls helps him do this. +++ Archaeological looting is on the rl·se, despite strict penalti·es, because the market for stolen artifacts is l·ncreas1·ng . While private collectors amass pieces of history as status symbols, reports the December Science Digest, scientists are being robbed of the information they need to trace civilization. In some cases, their lives are at stake. As the market grows , the looters go to greater -lengths to keep their business going, and that includes at least one murder . Because laws are difficult to enforce, experts say, other measures must be taken - and soon. OUTLET ~:~~ 113 S.

Do you remember the good old times when we, the youth of Amer ica, banded together to assert our ideas ... better yet ... our WAY OF LIFE? We, being the children of t he Atomic Age , are well educated. 1 As such, we looked at the world and the conditions m ade for us by our parents by society. _We beca me Examination week has fl uctuated from one week to one non-confor med conformists because we saw in justice a nd wanted to and a half weeks back to one week over the past four years, establish justice; we saw war and wanted to establish peace; we saw but with relatively few changes in the foremat. prejudice a nd want ed to establish Over the pa~t years one other thing hasn ' t changed - the brotherhood ; we saw double complaint by students and faculty members alike about standards and wanted · to correct them. There Must Be A Better Way examinations. Most students who are going into a final _with a relatively high cumulative average would rather forego the formality of an exam and be ~ble to concentrate ·on raising an average iri another subject. The time that would be wasted reviewing and studying for a final in a subject that a student has mastered could be put to better use in studying for a subject that he is having trouble with. This sometimes works against a student who devotes time to another subject. As a result of a lack of sleep or time to review for a subject which he has already mastered, this same student will do poorly on his exam and lose a cumulative average that he has earned al I through the semester in a subject in which he has clearly demonstrated a complete comprehension . Some faculty members have allowed outstanding students to skip a final, while others have voiced a regret that they must go along with the established rules and give everyone the final. It would seem that in most cases a professor is able to tell a student's grade even before the semester is completed. If a student has been tested throughout the semester on the material, it seems a waste of time and effort, not to mention a strain on the nerves, to have to be retested. Eve~ the surroundings during examination period leave much to be desired. The gymnasium, with metal folding chairs and lapboards is hardly the ideal place to pour forth all the knowledge that has been accumulated during the course of 15 weeks. We find ourselves croucf:iing, sliding, with sawdust in our shoes. Balancjng a lapboard, we are expected to juggle exam books, additional pencils or pens, plus the exam and any other related material. This is certainly an examination for everyone - in physical agility. With all the buildings on campus there would be more than enough room to schedule exams in decent surroundings.

But as a scene was the Wilkes-Barre Fire Drug Education placebo for those of you who crave Department, although their services the extraordinary and the impossible, it finally happened. The extraordinary: a fire at the yet flood stained Eugene Shedden Farley Library. The impossible: virtual silence within the confines of that structure during what were theoretically prime time hours . The cause for the fire: spontaneous combustion of an open can of linseed oil and old rags in an aisle between the faculty carrols. The reason for the virtual silence: evacuation of the library due to augmenting smoke haze (and possibility of large fire) on the ground floor level. The crisis period lasted from approximately 7 to 7:30 p.m. on the night of Monday, February 5, and was ably handled by the library staff. Night librarian Fred D. Walters discovered the fire near the rear of the main level after a three-floor search of the heating and air conditioning systems, and he carried out the burning rags while Dave Bickel applied the fire extinguisher to the flames. Also arriving on the were not required. Walters stated, "When I opened the door, the smoke was so thick, I couldn't see the can burning." He suffered a slightly singed hand in performing his duty, but he did not require medication. Many of the students who were politely alerted to evacuate well in advance of the fire-finding episode, relocated in the Commons where they temporarily continued their studies to the booming melodies of Wit<;:hy-Woman and other groovy juke box tunes. An explanation for the open can of linseed oil and rags lying on the floor was not immediately available, and no damage was reported. But the fact remains that this was a potentially disastrous incident and reminds us that even such simple negligence as not screwing on the cap .of a can of linseed oil can lead to peril. On the other hand library goers can be thankful that as long as there is Walters around, we need not be aFred of fire. REMEMBER - Only one batch in a thousand, anywhere, mescaline or psilocybin.

The American Bar Association announced today the formation of a statewide drug abuse education project making use of the expertise of law, medical, and college students. The project is basically directed at junior and senior high school students although programs have been planned for college students that explain the new Pennsylvania narcotic laws. The project is funded under a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and is the result of several years of experimentation with various types of drug education · programs. Peter A. Levin, a Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney, has been Newscope (From Page 5) VIETNAM WAR CASUALTIES named as chairman of the project for Pennsylvania.

President Nixon has clearly reduced overseas commitments and tempered the cold-war rhetoric , but the habit of centralizing foreign-policy decisions in the White House, where so many of the Vietnam blunders were made, is persisting , as is the heavy influence of the military on foreign policy. Charles W. Yost, one of the nation's most experienced diplomats, observes in his book " The Conduct and Misconduct of Foreign Affairs" that in the first three years of the Vietnam war American public opinion did not exercise either a stimulating or an inhibiting effect on United States leaders, but that Mr. Kennedy , Mr . Johnson and, at first , Mr . Nixon were so afraid of what public opinion might do if they "lost" the war that they misjudged both the problem in Vietnam and attitudes at home. " There are many depressing examples of international conflicts, " he writes, "in which leaders have first aroused their own people against a neighbor and then discovered to their chagrin that even when they judged the time had come to move toward peace, they were prisoners of the popular passions they had stimulated ." President Nixon 's argument that the United States had to keep following his policy or look like " a pitiful , helpless giant " is only one of man y illustra tions to be found in Vietnam policy; but the chances ar e tha t this sor t of thing will not be heard again for some time. Meanwhile, Mr. Nixon does have to deal with the consequences of the war at home: with a kind of spiritual malaise, with the continui ng opposition to his theme that the end of the war will not release addi tional funds for social reconstruction at home; with the resentment of policies reached in secret and not explained to Congress or the people; wi th the dangers of returing soldier s facing unemployment and exhortations to be self-reliant; and with an America n conscience troubled over the bloodshed and sorrow. The guess here is that it will take some time to restore the selfconfidence of the pre-Vietnam years , but it may be that the destruction of many popular misconceptions in Vietnam will produce a more mature , if.sadder, nation . Reminders of the devastating June 2:1 flood which caused more than $10 million damage at Wilkes College are arriving every day on the Wilkes-Barre campus - but they are pleasant ones! The reminders come in forms of cartons of books and various other supplies donated and shipped to Wilkes College from generous members of academic, military and civic organizations, plus many private individuals, all across the country. Dr. James Bohning (left), professor of chemistry at Wilkes College, is shown looking over a portion of 276 cartons, containing 16,000 pieces of literature, which were delivered to the college science building from the Washington section of the American Chemical Society. In the center is Frank Paulewicz, of Alden, and a fellow student, George Botwin, Wilkes-Barre, checking in and unloading the welcome technical matter. The drive to assist Wilkes in the Washington, D.C. area was spearheaded by Roy Martin. The two students went to the capital with a truck to pick up the publications .

Shortly after the June 23 flood which devastated most of the Wyoming Va)ley , Taylor and his wife made a trip to the Kingston area to bring in some needed supplies to relatives who still reside there. Taylor , Class of 1954, despite two artific ial hips a nd an a rtificia l right knee, manages to put in a .full work week doi ng what he enjoys most in life - teaching. Recently he was one of three high school teachers in the P lainfield, New Jersey area selected to receive the A.A. Halden Scholarship Award, an annual prize given since 1957 by the National Starch & Chemical Corporation. The $500 grant, which will enable Taylor to continue graduate work at Rutgers University, distinguishes him as an outstanding educator . All award recipients were selected by committees of teachers and administrators at their respective schools . Taylor is currently teaching earth science at North Plainfield High School in New Jersey. A typical day for Taylor consists of rising at 5:45 a.m., going to the hospital for physical therapy, and then to school for a full day of teaching. Fortunately, his devotion to the profession has not gone unnoticed . In addition to the recent schola rship award , Taylor r eceived a certificate for 10 years of scientific achievement towa rds students from Rutge rs University , the National Science Teachers Science Fair Award for New. Jersey, and the Outstanding Service Award in Science Fairs from Rutgers . In the summer of 1962, Taylor received a National Science Foundation grant for graduate education. If there had to be a "Mr. Wilkes College" personified , Art Taylor is the man. Over the years he has maintained constant contact with individuals at the college , primarily6 with Dean George F. Ralston and Dr . Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College. Taylor has done some promoting on his own from North Plainfield, encouraging many of his students to attend his alma mater . Some of these students hae gone on to promote the college , participating in and even attaining positions in school-related and community-oriented activities. In fact , student contact is high on the list of college priorities according to Taylor, who also claims that "hard work and plenty of it" is the key to success . Dr. Farley has been instrumental in the continued development of Taylor's educational career , as he has in so many other cases. In a recent letter to Dean Ralston, Taylor cites Dr . F a rley 's continued interest as one of the most vivid impressons he retains from Wilkes College. Taylor is a member of the National Education Association , the New Jersey Science Teac.h ers' Association , the Somerset Teachers ' Federal Credit Union , Rutgers University Science Fair Committee, the North Plainfield Education Association, and the YMCA Committee. He resides at 621 Greenbrook Road, North Plainfield, N.J ., with his wife, Dolores, and their children. He graduated from Wilkes with a Bachelor of Science degree - in Chemistry. · Russian Trip (Fr om Page 2) evident that the creativity and intellectual growth of the individual man is truly s tifled in the Soviet Union .

Colonels , now 7-9 overall and 4-4 in MAC play, can only hope that the Vikings lose more than four games and that locals close out their remaining Northern Division slate with triumphs over Scranton and Elizabethtown. After trailing by two, 34-32, at halftime the charges of Rodger Bearde fell prone to personal fouls in the vesper half. Another cause of the Blue and Gold demise was 6-5 center Joe Resch who fired ome 24 marks. Sixteen of his total were registered in the second portion. High for the Wilkesmen was sophomore Clarence Ozgo with 14 markers . Others in double totes were Greg Buzinski 13, and Jack Brabant 10.

Second row , left to right: Sharon Heffers, Debbie Williams, Janice Woolf, Meridy Jarin , Laurie Bickel. Greg O'Brien Coach Bearde Wilkes committed 24 fouls in the tilt. Called out of the game were 6-6 center Buzinski and Mark Caterson . Buzinski was the Colonels top rebounder with 11 grabs in his abbreviated appearance. Both teams registered 30 field goals but the difference in scoring proved to be from the charity stripe where the Vikings canned 25 of 28 attempts compared to 10 of 15 for the Blue and Gold. Also adding to the Wilkes defeat were offensive bursts by Joe Hartwyk, 16; Alex Yoda, 15; and Jim 1 McGuigan, 14. Upsala is now 10-6 on the season.

Colonelettes Overwhelm Susquehanna by Laraine Mancuso and Donna Concses The Wilkes Women's Basketball· team opened it's season on Saturday at Susquehanna University by defeating the Crusaders by a score of 32-23, The game got off to a slow start, with scoring in the first half being unusually low . For Wilkes this could be attributed to first game jitters, whereas Susquehanna could not penetrate the Colonelettes ' strong defense. It was the defense that saved the game for Wilkes , holding Susquehanna to only eight field goals, giving Wilkes the time needed to put their offensive game together . Wilkes took hold of the lead early in the . game and never lost it. Offensively, Wilkes was able to work the ball inside but was unable to put it in for the two points . Coach Bloomberg felt that it was an important win, show,ing that the team was able to overcome their nervousness and settle down by the end of the game and put the offense together. She was very pleased with the defense and hopes to b~ able to use a full court press in future games. High for the Colonelettes with 12 points was sophomore Ann Tracy, with freshman Diane Jones hitting for 8 points and grabbing down 10 rebounds . For the Wilkes J.V. it was a hard fight right to the end. The game ended with the score Susquehanna 22-Wilkes 17.

But after attending the . annual Christmas Dinner in the Wilkes College cafeteria, the entire image took a unique form. Students and administrators were sitting together, most of the people really dressed for the occasion and the cafeteria reflected the mood of everyone. · The meal was excel lent, but more important than th at were the emotions and feelings of the individuals present. After the mea l, the men of Diaz House and "chorus leader" Nancy Rodda Suggests Apathy Is A 'Cop-out' Dean George Ralston led the group in Christmas Carols. It was something really special to see the group join . in the ,merriment, without any inhibitions.

The Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to extend best wishes for the holiday season and forthcoming New Year· to members of the Wilkes College family, our The Bacon •Sizzles In an attempt to satisfy the campus plea for complete news coverage, one of the Beacon reporters this week sat in on what was termed an "open meeting" of the Bacon staff. For those readers who inquire, "what is the Bacon?" the only reply is that the Bacon is Wilkes College's one and only above-theground "underground" newspaper. It was designated as being published bi-weekly as a newsletter, designed to keep the students informed of "current events." Don't misunderstand us. It is not our desire to be vindictive or attempt W squelch the Bacon simply because it is competition. Quite the contrary. But when students' funds are being directed toward something they have no idea of, it is quite another matter. The committee members on theBBacon have been accorded the rights of all students on the Wilkes campus to submit material, and like the Bacon, we will print all the news as long as it is not libelous. We seriously doubt that members of the Current Events Club are writing out of a desire to be professional and that these same people would take the time to write for the Beacon. first. Then again there are those individucils who are turned off by the abuse they sufifer from their peers and faculty. It is our place to print all the news on campus, not simply the articles of interest such as the Ba!=on was able to get away with. We have in the past welcomed such articles and printed them when they were submitted. At the last meeting of the Bacon, we were informed that only two of 16 staff members showed. The problem we face isn't as unique as we thought. There is definitely room for both types of effort; but, in the interest of funds, time and energy, we would suggest that the students make an attempt to join the Beacon staff and find out for themselves if there really is a "Beacon clique." sufficient data .

This resulted in a need for a new Vice-President . Ever since last Tuesday, December 5, the four nominees for the vacated position have been campaigning. Elections were held on December 14. Once again I would like to congratulate the Beacon for its excellent coverage of lhe campus-wide election for a new sophomore class Vice-President. Your reporting of this event equaled your reporting of last year's full officer election: absolutely nothing was mentioned about the class meet1iig for nominations , the campaign, · the elections, or the results. You are keeping very true to form , I must say! .J feel that if unity and awareness is honestly wanted on this campus, it should start in its newspaper. To have the students know what is happening on campus, accurate reporting is a necessity. What I suggest is that a representative be present at the class meetings - not just the Sophomore Class meetings, but at all class meetings . This won 't change the world, but it 's a start. Maybe next time we'll get a one-liner ... Ob well , I can dream, can't I ?

The News _is principal chronicler and critic of Yale's power structure; it is also a firmly entrenched member of that structure , with roots in Yale's tradition, a stake in its orderly future , and a string of person-al bonds with Woodbridge Hall. As students in the university, and frequently as students actively involved in the issues they cover , Newsies are better prepared than nea rly any other reporter to give a full , illuminating , well-informed analysis of what has happened.

" The News' arts and drama reviews, often perceptive and Ii terary , are generally dismissed as "pure opinion" - a perjorative that hardly seems damning. It seems to be a point of pride among most undergraduates to brag, " I never read the News, in a tone that suggest some inherent superiority in ignoring Yale's most powerful organ of expression . Conversely, the Yale hi erarchy scrutinizes the News each day. A story which hints at an information leak is instant cause for concern, and a piece which openly implicates Kingman Brewster, or any of his appointees in misdoing often provokes an angry outburst from Woodbridge Hall. Charges and countercharges of lying and deception flash back and forth between the presidential offices and the News building . Some graduate school deans and presidential aides have announced they will no longer speak to the News for publication, and one went so far as to say , " Everyone knows the News is a student newspaper, with student opinions. t t t t * * * December21 Art Exhibit-Joyce Andrejko and Tina Bianconi-Conyngham Annex Gallery-21 through 23.

The weekend schedule for this year 's program commences on F r iday, March 23, with registr ation and orientation to clubs at 4 :30. Student Government will present the movie, " Bonnie and Clyde," at 7 and 9 and there will be an IDC sponsored activity Saturday night a t 8.

SG Assails Inactivity Of Many Committees The effectiveness of studentfaculty committees on campus pt ovided the spark for debate last Monday night at Student Government. Peter Jadelis commented upon the lack of action on the part of many of the committees and was joined by Inter-Dormitory Council President Jim Fiorino, who denounced the inactiyity of some faculty representatives. Lee Auerbach rallied to the offense by placing · the blame also on the students, who were la~ to ·take the initiative. Auerbach requested that the presence of student representatives be demanded before SG in order to get a general background of the situation and hash out difficulties . A new SG excuse policy was given its first reading. As with the old policy, a secret ballot must be taken after any member has accumulated three absences. Greg Hollis expressed 1 ~ismay that the . proposal so closely resembled the ?ld one . 'Dwo excuses were voted upon to -:letermine whether or not would be :onsidered excused . Both SG /ice-President Bob Linaberry and Woody Nichols were found innocent even though Vice.:President Linaberry admitted his absence was unexcused and requested that it be considered as such. It was brought forth that the Ecology Club took court action against "PennDOT" in Harrisburg, Tuesday. The Club is condemning curring plans of widening So.

Shepherd , a noted journalist and comedian , divided the world into two kinds of people - those that were the Bobbsey Twins and those that were not , which were ones like himself who could imagine that the Midtown Tunnel, in New York, was the inside of one long "john." Nothing seemed to miss Shepherd's magic tongue as he completely cut up New Jerseyites , who he says are born with shopping carts in their hands and spend their lives between the Great Eastern Discount Stores and the orange roofs of the Howard Johnson 's .

The "X, Y and Z's" could relate themselves to Shepherd's experiences as they too walked into a classroom and were told to sit in the back of the room by the cupboards, never knowing the smell of the chalk let alone seeing the chalkboard itself.

A new addition to the graduation ceremonies will be colored academic hoods . After receiving their diplomas seniors may remove the covering on their hoods and display the various colors which symbolize the different majors . Each major will have its own section in the assembly, adding to the already impressive ceremonies . Graduation ceremonies will not be held in the gymnasium as was the case last year. An outdoor ceremony is planned at Ralston Field or at Kingston Armory in case of bad weather. Graduation fees may increase by _ $4.25 allowing the cap, gown and hood to be retained by the seniors. The present graduation fee is $25.00. The seniors are holding a Beer Blast at Pocono Downs Sunday , January 6. Sorry, underclassmen, the party is for seniors only . With final exams set to begin in the very near future, there are a few changes which should be considered. Because of the late start in September, NOTICE less time can be allotted for final examinations. Insteijd of the usual nine-day period, there will be only six days in which to take final exams.

Colonels rolled over Delaware Valley, 31-9, Saturday afternoon in a home meet held at the South Franklin Street gym. The Colonels of Coach John Reese captured eight of the 10 bouts in winning their fifth meet of the 1972-73 season. They have lost only one. In hammering Delaware Valley, the Wilkes grapplers served notice on other Middle Atlantic Conference mat teams that they are the team to beat once again. Delaware Valley, with virtually the same squad back from a season ago, finished third to the Blue and Gold last year in the MAC grappling confab at Swarthmore. Wilkes will meet second-place Elizabethtown at home January 6 before taking on fourth-place Lycoming at Williamsport ' on February 3. Keeping their un blemished-untied streaks going were Jay McGinley (5-Ol, Gene Ashley (5-0) and Art Trovei (5-0) . For Trovei the triumph came a little tougher than expected . McGinley upped his 118-pound career record to 31-6-1 with a 6-1 decision over freshman Jay Rothers. After getting out to a 2-1 first period lead, McGinley rode the entire second stanza, and then produced an escape and takedown in the final frame . Bob Roberts pulled down vetera n Ron Jennings at 1:00 of the initial period and then applied the overhead cradle to produce a fall 27 seconds later . It was his fourth season dual win aga inst only one setback. Junior John Chakmakas extended the Colonels team lead to a quick 15-0 with a second period clamp over Jim Hopps. The Schenectady, N.Y. product had Hopps , 5-1, before showing him the lights with a double arm lock . Key meeting of the afternoon saw Art Trovei squeak by Aggie Captain George Cummins, 4-3 . Cummins and Trovei fought in the MAC 134-pound finals last year . Trovei won to unseat the defending champion , to whom he had lost in the semi-finals the year before. Cummins actually led, 3-1, going into the final frame. Trovei escaped. at 5: O6an.d scored the winning digit in the last 15 seconds of the bout as Cummins was penalized a point for stallipg. Second period riding time gave the Port Jervis, N .Y. native the nod . Mike Lee extended the shutout to 22-0 with a lopsided 13-1 superior decision at 150. Lee completely obliterated his Del Val opponent , getting a near pin on three occasions. The Colonel junior is now 4-0-1 on the campaign and 16-1-1 lifetime. Junior Gene Ashley made it six straight for the hometowners with a 5-0 verdict. Ashley executed a takedown with seven seconds left in the first period, rode the entire second , and then sealed the triumph with a third stanza reversal. Colonel fans were treated to a wild one at 167-pounds as yearling J im Weisenfluh rallied for a 7-5 nod. Trailing 5-2 with 33 seconds remaining in the bout , Weisenfluh fashioned a takedown and near fall at the buzzer to gain his biggest victory to date . Highly touted Fran Campbell finally put the visitors on the scoreboard with a hardfought 10-7 decision over Bob Yanku . Yanku battled back to a one-point deficit, 5-4, early in the third period but saw all hopes fade awa y with a Campbell reversal. Joe Grinkevich evened his season 's l~g at 3-3 with a 5-2 decision (Continued on Page 7) 1 Feoturin .1ay M e6inle by Steve Jones The Wilkes Wrestling Team - Left to right, first row: Marc Kovalchick, Ted Martin, Jay McGinley, Bob Roberts, John Chakmakas, Art Trovei, Mike Lee, Bob Yanko and Ralph Musgrave.

Evelyn Robinson, Recorder for the Development Office, reports that approximately $1,900 has been donated to date and that more pledges are being received almost daily. A few of the sources of the contributions include individual Wilkes students , Student Government, Parents ' Football Club, individual dormitories and sundry other departments and organizations . Dean Arthur Hoover intimates that following Christmas recess Mr . and Mrs . McBride will consult with the administration as to the manner in which they intend to employ the money . Speculation is that the funds ma y be poured into a perpetual scholarship fund to be granted on an annual basis , but as of yet, nothing is definite . ++++++ When was the last time you attended an exciting Wiikes athletic contest? It may have been as recently as last night, but almost for definitely sure, fan reaction to the contest was unexcited and unemotional. According to many ' observers, Wilkes lacks fervent fan support for its athletic teams ; a fervent support which other c;olleges seem not to Jack. This point was made at a recent Beacon meeting and will be treated more extensively in an upcoming issue . In the meantime, observe for yourself and form your own opinions . 4 Colonels Selected To All MAC Four members of the Wilkes College offensive grid unit were last week named to the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division All-Star-squad. Selected by the MAC coaches on the basis of their superior performances were senior quarterback Jeff Giberson, tight end George Sillup, senior tackle John Holland and junior guard Rich Lorenzen .

It is their hope that through what they feel is a comprehensive program of some of the world 's finest cinematic achievements, they can provi de an opportunity for the serious film goer to maturely examine the art of the cinema. Complete schedules of the Manuscript Society Film Series for this school year are available on the fird floor of Bedford Hall. · t Gulf Oil Corporation recently presented to Wilkes Colle_ge the first installment of a _grant of money and laboratory equipment with a combined value of approximately $200,000. Wilkes incurred losses estimated at $1:l million during the Hurricane Agnes flood last June. The college says the Gulf grant is the largest to date from a private source in response to its current drive for funds to rebuild its devastated campus. Shown at a brief afternoon campus ceremony in Weckesser Hall, are, seated left to right: Dr. Alexander Lewis, Jr., president of the Gulf Oil Foundation, Pittsburgh, presenting the check to President Francis J. Michelini. Standing: Federal Judge Max Rosenn, member of the college board of trustees and president of the Flood Recovery Task Force; Atty . Louis Shaffer, chairman of the college board; Allen Bean, Gulf Oil Manager, Retail Marketing, Philadelphia; Harry Maxwell, Gulf District Manager, Kingston ; Thomas Kelly, director of development; and Mike Worth, administrative assistant to Dr. Michelini. �THE BEACON Page 2 p""kditorially Speaking Tl-IE BEACON by Marietta B~dnar Dear SantaJ The staff of the Beacon has one little request, if it isn't too much to grant. This winter, for once when the temperatures start dropping, couldn't we please ~ave a little heat? Heat has been on our Christmas list for the past three years. We know you've been generous in your other gifts. But it is a little, difficult to type with mittens on. Those ice skates do come in handy. We use them at least once a week, with office temperatures remaining at a standard 22 degrees, the floor makes an ideal skating rink. The hankies and tissues were great while they lasted, but we've all run o'-lt. The woolen socks were nifty, but they don't quite match up to the real thing. So, please Santa, if you can find in it your heart this year won't you get us some heat? The Beacon staff P.S. Our supply of aspirin, cold tablets and cough syrup is low. If you can't get the heat right away, won't you at least get us those? LetJs Look Into It "Let's look into the matter." "A committee has to be formed to investigate the matter." Such are the recurrent comments among the governing bodies of Wilkes College. Everyone is so busy looking into the matter, that relatively little is accomplished. If some of the people who are so busy looking into the matter would take the initiative to do something, there might be a little more activity . on this campus. A Human Services Organization was formed on campus, with relatively little problem. All it took was the initiative _of one person, a little organization and a group of interested people. There was a recognized need for the services this type of committee could provide. The group petitioned Student Government, gained recognition and funds and is well on the way to becoming an active part of the Wilkes College communi_!Y. The same principle should be able to be applied to other problems on this campus, such as security, snow removal and the library. All it would take is one person with the initiative to organize a security force, gain the approval of the administration and Student Government, and we're on our way to a solution . Instead the problem is recurrent, year after year at SG, IDC and Student Life meetings. Everyone agrees there is a problem, and that the problem needs a solution. So whv not do something about it?

Specifically, Student Government is grateful to have a reporter attend its meetings. However, what is in the Beacon on Thursday is not always what happened Monday night at the meeting . Also, as in many representative bodies, there is often news or business transacted that is not for publication. If Student Government feels strongly enough about something not to include in their minutes - w·hy then does the Beacon print it when asked not to? Everyone is entitled to a few mistakes , especially if efforts are being made to improve . ~ have not seen many such efforts by the Beacon.

At the same time we are also choosing to ignore those problems mos t people feel would be much better off swept under the rug . Just about any student on this campus will admit privately that there are drug and alcohol problems on our campus. Admitting that openly is another thing. Stuff like that simply couldn 't occur on the Wilkes College campus. But it does . A recent incident involving an overdose of drugs which fortunately did not involve a Wilkes student, but which did , howev er, occur on the campus, is a prime example of the drug situation. It is questionable how many rel~ted incidents, if any , have occurred and not been reported . • Much the -same thing is true concerning alcohol on this campus . A major decision was made this year permitting alcoholic beverages on campus, provided the individual was 21 years of age. So it remains, sad though it is, that the primary forms of recreation weekends on campus involve getting either stoned or smashed . One student, in response to an editorial which appeared in the Beacon , headed "A Suitcase College·?" stated , " what we need on this campus is a place to go on weekends that we don 't have to get stoned or smashed ." The individual is right. The place doesn't have to be elaborate, with the finest decor, but it should exist. The Beacon has been accused of running pessimistic editorials when the student leaders are trying to organize projects. I ser-iously doubt that these editorials contributed to the poor response . Out of curiosity we recently polled random members of the student body, representatives from every class. The result? Relatively few of these individuals knew who their student leaders were and even fewer could name any major legislation taken by their governing bodies. It's a sad fact, but true . This columnist must apologize for the pessimistic tone the writing takes . But members of our reading audience claim they want the truth and here it is .

With the death of Bobby McBride, junior defensive back on the Wilkes College football team, the Wilkes College family mourns the loss of an outstanding student and athlete. McBride, a business administration major died as a result . 9f injur ies sustained two minutes after the start of the third period at the last football game of the season against Kings Point. Wilkes College President FrancisJ. Michelini expressed his sorrow in a statement the morning of McBride's death. "It is with deepest sorrow that our College family received the news of Bob McBride's death. He was considered one of . the finest examples of a student-athlete by his teachers and coaches. Our faculty and students all recognized the dedicated effort our team members and coaches put forth in the postflood recovery efforts of the Cotlege. Our team all worked so hard to establish the visible confidence of recovery to people from outside Wyoming Valley. None worked with more dedication than this young man from WilkesBarre. He was always modest, sincere in all his efforts and a real brother to his fellow players and coaches. We all feel his loss more deeply than words can ever express and share this sorrow with his family in extending our prayers in sympathy to them." A sorrowful Wilkes College family met at a special memorial service the following week at the Center for the Performing Arts. This service featured a speech by Michael Barski, president of Student Government and fellow teammate of McBride's. A saddened Wilkes College Coach Rollie Schmidt, who kept in constant contact with the situation at the hospital, expressed his profound sorrow over ·the tragedy, describing the injury as being so _unique as to be a "once in a mill ion incident." �Page 2 THE BEACON Children At Trailer Camp; Students Build Playgrounds Children in the Miners Mills Trailer Camp in Wilkes-Barre are learning that the best things in life sometimes do come free - thanks to the efforts of assistant Professor Herbert Simon, of the Wilkes College Art Department and his contemporary design classes. Each week, at the scheduled class meeting , the Wilkes students and their instructor meet at the Miners Mills Trailer Camp to construct playground equipment for the children from materials such as old tires, old telephone poles and cable spools that they collect free. And the children respond enthusiastically. According to Simon, " These kids helped build the equipment, paint it and play on it even before it is completed." _ Simon got the project idea from Paul Hogan, who is working in conjunction with VISTA, constructing "playgrounds for free " throughout the United States. Members of VISTA work with the students each week, supplying the necessary technical knowledge and materials. • The entire playground idea remains static, however, with constant additions and revisions_ · Instead of directing money toward elaborate ·playground material , a community is able to direct funds toward skilled instructors, who in turn would direct the ehildren in building a safe and thoroughly inexpensive playground. The playground is something in which the children can take pride. The whole project starts out on the drawing board. Members of the contemporary design class start out with a series of drawings and concepts. These concepts are th.en translated into reality with the collection of materials and the construction of safe, active playground equipment. The Miners Mills Trailer Camp presented a natural location for the "playground for free" in the Wyoming Valley . There is a slight hill with a tree, ideal for a tree house and climbing . . Discarded telephone poles, coupled with old conveyor belts, form the ideal trampoline, which the children named "the b,ed." This "free playground" supplies a much-needed diversion for children in the Wyoming Valley area who are living in trailers and have been displaced by the record flooding of the Susquehanna River in June. Many of these children are in an area that is totally foreign to them, and the playground provides the necessary atmosphere for forming lasting friendships. Parents have expressed an interest in the project, often offering to help in the actual construction . Even after the trailer camp is no longer needed, the playground will remain, for it is a part of the regular city playground. Joyce Andrejko, a fine arts major at Wilkes, is helping in the project. She is a regular playground assistant. Also assisting the project is a Wilkes graduate, Robert Burnside, who is currently employed by HUD. There are currently 28 Wilkes College fine arts majors involved in this program and for each individual it is an experience they will never forget.

New Alumni Activities Include Trips, Projects by Charles Riechers Activity is the current byword of the Wilkes College Alumni. Approximately 50 persons toured England during the Thanksgiving recess. This and other Alumni-sponsored trips are not restricted to Alumni. Faculty and students are indeed welcome. In fact, Wilkes College Alumni Director Art Hoover's slogan is that "one builds an alumni as a freshman." Future vacation trips are scheduled. Spain during Christmas and Acapulco or Hawaii during Easter. A meeting of all Wilkes Alumni in the greater Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Hazleton Area was held this past Monday evening, December 4, at the Hotel Sterling. Several Wilkes personnel addressed this group. All three head coaches of Winter Sports at Wilkes reviewed prospects for their respective seasons - John Reese, wrestling; Roger Bearde, basketball; and Joe Shaughnessy, swimming. John Reese also showed films of his summer trip to the Munich Olympics as a member of the Olympic Wrestling Committee. He also traveled in Germany, Italy and France. . Andrew Shaw, Jr., Director of the Wilkes College Institute of Regional Affairs and Executive Director of the Flood Recovery Task Force, who is on loan from the college in this community effort, spoke on the topic "The Benefits of Agnes." Shaw has also used this topic in his addresses to members of civic, professional and service clubs. The resultant comments and reactions have been most favorable. An important Alumni project will be tackled by the Alumni National Executive Committee at a meeting January 20. A proposed revised constitution will be considered. This is the first time the Constitution will be revised as a whole and it was becoming somewhat antiquated . In addition, arrangements will be finalized for a benefit movie preview tentative for March in New York City. At this showing the movie presented will have its first appearance.

Emphasis should be placed, the study suggests , on increased opportunities for each college student to find the academic environment and instructional situation that will best help to improve the quality of his life. A new "academic constitution" for colleges and universities is proposed. The study, fourteenth in a series by the commission, is based on the largest survey of academic opinion ever made. It included 70,000 undergraduates , 30,000 graduate students and 60,000 faculty mem- nonintellectual. Emphasis on the society 's wealth of alternative views of problems arid avoidance of compulsory, singleminded religious or political indoctrination on campus. Emphasis on the advancement in knowledge and skill under conditions of equality of opportunity and avoidance of a doctrine of equality of results regardless of ability and effort. Within these broad limits, greater attention can be paid to the wishes of the students . They are not always right , the survey concedes, but they are reasonable well-informed consumers. It is both unwise and inherently wrdng to be unconcerned student body w11i see this as an opportunity to bridge the communication gap between the day and dorm students. During the summer months, following the record devastation caused by the flooding of the Susquehanna River, volunteers - students, faculty and administrators - joined together to make the college's recovery possible. As we enter the Christmas season and campus activities get into' full swing, it is hard to realize that a few sho_rt months ago no one would have believed this would be possible.

He reported that he had already talked with three or four people, but he refused to reveal who they were or what affiliation, if any, they had with the school. He declined to give any more -information about his investigation , " until, " he said, "I know where I can put my next step and not fall through . I will not make any false accusations. It would be unfair to the students, the Beacon and Mr. Moran . Before I say anything, good or bad, I must be definite." Commuter Council President Buddy Brezinski, like Barski, compl-ained of misfaken or misinterpreted facts on the Beacon's part. One instance he reported was a mix-up of quotes between him and Rich Mendelsohn concerning cigarette machines on campus. When asked if he regarded the Beacon as a censored paper, Brezinski replied that the only censoring he felt was present was by the editor, Marietta Bednar. He cited letters written to Miss Bednar by Rich Finkelstein, a Wilkes student, that were n.e ver printed. Miss Bednar defended her position by pointing out that the letters she received from Finkelstein were (From Page 2) dredgin1, and widening, upstream impounding basins, river meander diversion and obstruction removal. While these alternatives are appealing, they are too costly and time-consuming to merit consideration at the present time. Civil Defense believes that a system of giant river closure gates proposed for the Market and North Street bridges and near Route 11 in Wyoming, along with the immediate reconstruction and fortification of the levee system, is the best temporary solution. written in a personal form, as opposed to a letter to the editor. The strongest complaint expressed by Brezinski was that the Beacon did not deal with enough relative issues. One of the suggestions he gave was for the Beacon to print information on abortion referral, VD, mental aid and planned parenthood. The CC President stated that he has information on all of these subjects. and welcomes anyone to ask him for it. Aside from merely relative issues being discussed in the Beacon , Brezinski freely advised that the news stories be more relevent. The examples he gave as relevent news stories included: the parking problem, the condition of the Commons' gameroom, better meals and cooking facilities for the day students, more social events involving both day and dorm students, and the threat of a tuition tax on college students . The CC President was asked if he had ever thought about writing letters to teh editor or viewpoints , concerning these relative topics . Brezinski explained how busy he is with extracurrifular act-ivities, but he " might have time over the holidays.' ' when you consider that he is and had to go up against mu opponents.

Security Revisited A question of campus security has once again come to our attention. Or perhaps, the question never died in the first place. We wonder if the Administration is in fact aware of the deep concern being expressed by a number of students as to the type of security available on the Wilkes College campus. Most students are asked to phone security in the event of a prowler. However, security guards have a way of arriving one to two hours later. Are we supposed to say to a prowler, "Stick around a little longer, security will be right ·here - in an hour or two"? Because of an extreme number of cases, the students have taken security measures into their own hands. A mimeographed sheet of how to deal with your assailant has been circylated throughout the women's dormitories. Perhaps this is the only solution - it isn't as if we haven't tried going through the proper channels. It's just that those channels haven't been concerned. Does something drastic or sensational have to happen on our campus in order for security to be revised?

Even more important than the gain in the Senate was the shining upset of such arch-conservative Nixon supporters as Margaret Chase Smith of Maine and Miller of Iowa. Along with these results and the amazing victory of Walker to the post of Governor of Illinois and the election of a "McGovernite" Salmon to the post of Governor in the traditionally conservative Vermont, all add to the trust given to liberal legislators across the nation . So take heart Americans, President Nixon will not run wild with conservative policies in his second term , for in the words of the head of the Associated Press, "This will be the most liberal Senate in our country's history."

WCLH 90.7 FM Wilkes College Listening Habit ,_______________________________--f by Ronnie Church Probably the most important person at WCLH is the announcer who brings the variety of programming to our listeners each night. The announcer serves a dual role - he is both a public servant to the comm unity land also the voice of Wilkes College . By efficient operation of the station's !equipment, and announcer is able to provide programming which reflects !quality in both content and sound . There are no cute little jingles to ~ring jglory to each individual listener but each in his own way reflects the Wilkes College image. Much training and study is involved in preparing to be an announcer . WCLH requires that each announcer have a third class radio-telephone operator's license with broadcast endorsement. 'l~i obtain this license the announcer must take a written examination at the Federal Communications Commission office in Philadelphia. He must be familiar with the operation of the station's equipment and FCC rules and regulations . While on duty he is solely responsible for the efficient operation of the station. Just as the programming of WCLH reflects a variety of interests, so do our announcers. Mike Sincavage, Class of '75, is an accounting major. Mike is a resident of West Wyoming and is co-ordinator of WCLH's Sports Show. Doreen Pellegrini, a resident of Plains, is a junior engineering major who says that her interest in radio and engineering is not a reflection of the current Women's Lib movement. Chuck Waite, a sophomore math major, is a resident of Shavertown whose interests at WCLH lie in both rock programming and engineering. · John Kowalchik, a junior engineering major and chairman of WCLH's rock programming , has achieved both second and first class licenses beyond the required third class license. John also recruits and trains new announcers. John Thier, a sophomore engineering major, is a resident of Dallas. John lends his talents in the area of rock programming and engineering . Basil Lynch, a junior business administration major , is co-chairman of production and also co-chairman of WCLH's news staff. Jack Noyalis, a new member of the WCLH staff, is a senior soc-iology major. Ted Trammaloni, a senior economics major, is co-chairman of the production staff and also co-chairman of WCLH's news staff. Jay Thomas, a freshman member of the WCLH staff, is a biology maj~r and a resident of Plymouth . Jim Kelly, a junior political science major , 1s chairman of WCLH's taping staff. Because of Jim's efforts WCLH was able to secure permission to air Sha-Na-Na and Jack Anderson live . Tony Pietrzykoski , a sophomore engineering major, holds a second class radio-telephone operator's license and is chairman of WCLH 's engineering staff. Don Whittaker, a sophomore business administration major, is_a resident of West Pittston who brings the weekly opera program to ur listening audience and is also a member of the news staff.

Standing, left to right: Gene A slippery pigskin and an inspired Delaware Valley football team combined to give the Wilkes College Colonels a 20-18 defeat Saturday afternoon at Doylestown. Stirred by the pre-game announcement that Del Val mentor Bill. Craver would be retiring after the contest, the Aggies put forth a strong second half offensive effort to seal the Colonels ' demise. Wilkes, now 4-4 on the year, actually had the game in tow until the final ten seconds of the half when the Aggies struck for the go-ahead points in the midst of confusion. Steady rains hampered the locals' comeback in the final portion. Miscues also aided in the Colonel downfall as both Wilkes fumbles led to eventual Del Val scores. A bright spot in the Colonels' hour of misery was freshman tailback Fred Lohman, who raked the soggy turf for 80 yards on 24 carries. The 5'11 " , 180-pound Valley West alumnus also tallied on bursts of five and two yards to bring his 1972 Domzalski, Brinley Varchol, Joe Skvarla , Dick Orlowski, Bob Corba, Johan Goobic.

Look for the home team to win by fourteen Because those Mules appear much too green. Pat Ratchford Giberson compieted 14 of 27 passes for 194 yards to bring his season's totals to 89 of 165 completions and 1088 y~rds . Defensive Standout Looking good on defense were Frank Galicki, Rich Masi, Pat Ratchford, Jeff Grandinetti and Terry Blaum, while Rich Lorenzen and John Holland stood out on offense. Sophomore Bill Horan and junior John Collins each pulled down fou~ · Giberson aerials to increase their reception totals to - 28 and 20 respectively. Adding to the Wilkes woes was the bull-like running of Aggie fullback Keith Alderfer which hurt the Colonels on crucial situations. The 6', 195-pounder collected 88 yards on 25 carries. Del Val struck fast and first in their farewell to Coach Craver. One play after an opening exchange of fumbles, Del Val quarterback Jim Foote electrified the host of Wilkes followers by hitting converted signaicaller Dick Ridgway with a 53-yard scoring bomb. Placement by Jim Lucarelli had Del "-31 ahead, 7-0, with 12:44 left in the first stanza. Two series later the Wilkes-men hit the boards on a sustained drive which carried 74 yards to paydirt.

Key call of the drive saw Giberson move his team from their own 29 to the Aggie 30 on a 41-yard . pass to the Valley West product. Lohman culminated the series ' with a five-yard off-tackle plunge. Placement attempt was wide and Wilkes trailed 7-6 with 2:26 remaining in the initial canto. Both defenses dug in and the score stayed the same until 1:21 left in the half when Giberson spotted Howe in the left corner of the endzone with an aerial strike. Costly Penalty The drive, which covered two plays and 20 yards, was aided by a costly Aggie personal foul, after they had punted from deep in their territory . Delaware Valley went immediately to the air lanes, and Foote was successful in playing the clock and the Colonel secondary. Six straight completions by the 6'2", 215-pound field general gave the hosts a 13-12 lead with zero time remaining on the scoreboard clock. 1 The Aggies executed fine ball control in the third stanza , maintaining the pigskin on 17 rushing plays. Del Val hiked its lead to 20-12 when they made good on a loose Colonel fumble and marched 22 yards to paydirt on five calls. Alderfer achieved scoring honors with a six-yard spurt at the 8: 15 juncture. The hosts repeated their earlier ground tactics and Wilkes was unable to move until midway in the fourth quarter . Sophomore defensive back Alan Barrett got the troops rolling with a stolen Foote pass offering. Starting on his own five , Giberson moved the Blue and Gold methodically down the field on passes to John Collins and some fine running by Lohman. A two-yard dive by Lohman kept the locals ' hopes alive with 4:13 remaining in the game. Colonels mentor Rollie Schmidt went for the two-point conversion which would have knotted the game, but the subsequent pass attempt was batted down . A last ditch Wilkes effort in the closing minute fell short on the Aggie 38-yard line as the gun sounded. The Colonels will conclude their 1972 campaign at Ralston Field this week entertaining Kings Point.

Wilkes was just one of the many college teams who came to display their skills that might eventually place team players on the Susquehanna squads. Lock Haven State and Penn State University monopolized the positions on the Susquehanna squads. Wilkes, .although not ' placing anyone on the squads, did receive three Honorable Mentions going to seniors Sue Ditson , right half, Laraine Mancuso, goalkeeper and Stephanie Pufko , center half. Coach Meyers feels that ·'the Wilkes team has come a long way in displaying their potential and determination to compete at the highly skilled level of hockey which is played at the tournament." On the lighter side of the weekend, the Wilkes women once again dominated the raffle; winn·e rs were Denise Chapura, Kathy Haughey, Stephanie Pufko and Coach Meyers. The girls would like to thank all supporters who took the time to be present at the games, especially Joel Stephanie Pufko Sue Ditson Laraine Mancuso Fishman and Jim Fiorino. then there's cross-country, which wasn't expected to "go-big" at the ing of the season, and certa inly didn't.

It also made tutoring available for the fi rst time to wives, widows and children studyi ng under the agency's Dependents' Educational Assistance progr am. Tutor ial assis tance first became ava ila ble in March 1970 under- Public Law 91-219.

For this help, VA paid tutors up to be ac ti ve could vary but most Probably would include the hours between 8 p.m. a nd midnigh t. There is also a need for cooperation wi th local homeowners fo r perm ission to have the patrols cross their property . Mike looks fo rwa rd to many volunteers fo r the project. However, Dean George Ralston saw a volun teer , organization as unfeasible. "We haven't seen that much interest in vol un teer ing for any thing. I wouldn 't be in favo r of payment of s tudents.

The truth of the ' matter is that .the staff is always willing to help the s tudents " debug " their program s as they have done so often in the past. The complaint stems from a misunderstanding on October 24, 1972. The student submitted a program in the early evening . The program would normally have been run , but, due to the flood, the Computer Center is slightly behind on their converting to larger disks. It was im pera ti ve that the administra· · tive material be given top pnonty that par ticular night , and , consequently , his program was preempted . According to our log , student progra ms were run five times tlie next day . Also , the student implies that the inertia of the s taff leaves something to be desired . May I remind him that dur ing final exams, when there is literally a run on the Computer Center, our staff bends over backwards to ensure the student's program being processed before the deadline. I hope this letter has in some way cleared up many questions the students of Wilkes might have as to the Computer Center 's willingness to serve the college, and I wou1d recommend that in the future one not distort the picture of the Computer ·center without knowing all the facts .

At a recent student life committee meeting the question of library policy ana noise came up once again. The very fact that it illicited moans and groans of "here we go again," is evidence of the fact that the library has become a sore spot on the annual list of housekeeping chores on the Wilkes College campus. One only has to look into past issues of the "Beacon" dated 1962, 1965, 1969, 1970, 1971. The list is endless and the complaints qre basically the same: insufficient hours; lack of a sufficient staff to operate the library should the hours be extended and the noise level in the building itself. There is currently a proposal in the drafting stages for action by Student Government for the extension of library hours. There is a very real need, especially now with the small inconveniences encountered in the dormitories for a place to study after 9:45 p.m. Yes, the time is correct, although the posted hours for cl_osing is 10 p.m. At 9:45 or sometimes at 9:30 students are given a warning to finish up and get out of the library. Lights are flashed on and off to indicate closing. In short, the students · are deprived of 15 minutes to a half hour of study time. Sound insignificant? It isn't as simple as it sounds. Professors have gone out of their way this year to provide their students with the supplementary material necessary for any given course. A convenient way of allowing the class to read upon outside material is to put a copy of the book or periodical on reserve in the library. It then becomes a student's responsibility to get the material. ~tudents pushing a tight schedule can more often than not benefit from those extra few minutes of uninterrupted study, in order to finish a reading assignment. It isn't as if he could just pick up his books and do the studying elsewhere. Another sore spot concerning the library is the excessive amount of noise, sometimes to the point of shouting that goes on at certain times of the day. Students complain constantly that it is impossible to study in the library, yet fail to act as their own , watchdogs for their own best interests by simply requesting the noise makers to either respect their right or get out. Yet a considerable part of the library noise is actually constructive intellectual exchange. If this is the case, there should be some way of providing for both types of students. We would hope the library and administrative staffs would consider the library as a very real issue this year and look into the possibility of extending hours and creati-ng "zones·" in the building that would allow for various types of creative thinking and studying. Students who wanted intensive study alone might be directed to the third floor, while students desiring to. study in groups could occupy the basement. There are any number of possibilities. The library is the key center for any educational institution, it should be given the same priorities. Think about it. Is the Wilkes College Library the ideal student study haven?

The win stopped a losing streak of two games for the Blue and Gold who now boast a 4-3 record . Quarterbacks Jeff Giberson, Mike Barski and Greg Snyder combined for 16 of 25 completions, three touchdowns and 314 yards via passes. Old team record for passing yardage was 278 set last season at Muskingum College. Giberson Sharp Giberson connected on 13 oho for 238 yards while Snyder was completing his first pass ever as a Colonel. Missing from the starting line-up were Andy Check' (shoulder separation ) and Tom Boshinski ( broken fingers ). Their re'placements were Jim Yanora and Bob Mazzitelli respectively . Fred L?hman, freshman from Valley West, had his best game of the year as he gamed 121 yards on 32 carries with one touchdown run . Rollie Schmidt had praise for the offensive line: John Holland , Bill Metzger , Rich Lorenzon, Bob Mazzitelli, Joe Dettmore and Tom Panetta. Their yeoman efforts were largely responsible for the 466 total yards on offense. Wilkes won the coin toss and elected to receive . Marianacci brought the kick up the middle for a 25-yard gain . After three plays netted only nine yards, Blaum boomed a · punt to the 17-yard line where Lohman made a crunching tackle. The visitors from Annville down in Pennsylvania Dutch country were rudely met in their first series of downs by Lack , Deacon and Galicki. The punt by Koons was downed at the 48-yard line. Wilkes Sco1·es Behind the methodical passes from Giberson to Sillup and Horan the Colonels moved the ball downfield. Big play in the drive came as Giberson drilled the ball to John Collins, who made the reception in heavy traffic at the 3-yard line. Yanora then blasted in for the score. Blaum's PAT was blocked and Wilkes led 6-0 with 8:23 left in the first quarter . The Colonels got a bad break after forcing the visitors to punt : The punt hit a Wilkes blocker and was recovered by Lebanon Valley . With a third down and 11 at the Wilkes 26-yard line Harris passed to Hussay for the score. The PAT kick was wide as the score was tied at 6-6. Marianacci took the kickoff and raced it to the 46-yard line of Lebanon Valley as he was tackled by the last man between him and paydirt. The Colonels moved the ball but were forced to punt after a pass interference call nullified a great gain by Lohman on a screen pass. With a former professional football player (Gary Collins, flanker for Cleveland Browns) as an assistant coach it was only natural that they should take to the airways. But Rich Masi quickly came up with the interception . Both teams failed to move the ball consistently as the first period ended in a 6-6 deadlock . The Colonels began·to click on their passing game as the second stanza began. First a pass to Lohman and then a pass to Horan. A 29-yard pass to Horan brought a nother score._Blaum 's PAT was good and Wilkes led 13-6. The Wilkes College football Colonels sport ten players who were local All-Scholastics. They are from left to · row: George Abraltam, Dave Howe, Don Kulick, Steve Leskiw and Fred Lohman; 2nd row: Terry Blaum, Bob M Bill Metzger, Frank Galicki, and Tom Bradshaw. 1_~... j~~...l~# Defensive tackle is a punishing position and it takes a special breed of man to play it well. He doesn't receive the publicity of a quarterback or a running back and the only reward he received for doing his job is a pat on the rear from his teammates and an opponent's cleat mark on his helmet. But Joe Pavill, the stalky 230 pound tackle for the Colonels , just looks on the obscurity of his position as a way of life . He is a dedicated bal!J>layer and come Saturday afternoon, fame or no fame , he puts it all on the line for the Wilkes College Colonels.

Blaum 's kick was wide as Wilkes led 19-6. Lebanon Valley took the kickoff as Dave Check made the tackle. Then halfback Koons made the best run of the game as he rambled to the Wilkes 22-yard line . The Blue and Gold front four asserted itself and helped cause four incompleted passes. Mike Barski came in and moved the offense as the half ended with Wilkes sporting a 19-6 lead . Wilkes kicked to start the second half. The defense promptly proved they still had their momentum as they forced a punt. The game then settled down to a defensive battle as the teams traded punts. The mighty Wilkes offense controlled the ball but failed to score in the third quarter . As the fourth period opened Giberson hit frosh end George Abraham with a pass and the big end broke two tackles in rolling to a first down. Wilkes was then forced to punt but quickly got possession as the Big D led by Galicki (who else?), Ratchford and Grandinetti. Giberson started to connect on passes to Lohman and Matusek . However the drive was halted on a Tony Calabreese interception. Dave Howe made the tackle on Calabreese as he saved what might have been a touchdown. Methodically the Blue and Gold defense smothered the Flying Dutchman offense. Wilkes regained possession with 4:55 left in the game. Howe Snags Bombs Refusing to sit on the lead Giberson took to the airways where he found Howe on a 40-yard score. Blaum 's PAT was good as Wilkes opened a .....commanding 26-6 lead. Following the kickoff Marianacci made his fifth interception of the season . Fred, only a freshman , has a chance with two games remaining to lie or break Jay Holiday's record of seven interceptions for a season set in 1968. The scoring parade was not ended for the day as Greg Snyder , heir apparent to Giberson , lofted a bomb to Howe who raced over for the score. Snyder then booted the PAT and the Colonels led 33-6. Coach Schmidt emptied his bench with slightly more than two minutes in the game. The reserves held the lead as Wilkes won by 33-6.

Most coaches wou ld cringe at the thoughts of a 1-11 record but not George Pawl ush. who performs the cross country coaching chores as a sidelig ht to his regular sports publicity duties. "We would like nothing better than to come out on top, but as long as everybody is enjoy ing himself and performing to the best of his abi lity, the participation is all worth it," he said. Cross coun try is a thankless, and more often than not, a spectatorless sport. Two harrier faithfuls who have not missed a home meet in two years arc Wilkes administrators Ben Moses, registrar, and Bernie Vinovorski , director of eveni ng and summer school. Leading their respecti ve divisions in intramural footba ll this week are Grissom and Webster, both J-0 in the American Division , Slocum in the Nationa l Division J-0 and Colonels a nd Dirksen in the Central Division, both 1-0.

They serve as permanent fans and also as chief clerk " starter and timer respec ti vely . The actual 4.7 mile Wilkes meet course , which begins and ends at the Ralston football field, is located entirely in the confines of Kirby Park . "Along with most of the area high schools, King's, and Luzerne County Community College, we do most of our training at Kirby Park," Pawlush s tated . ·'but we also like to do some road running in Plains and Giants Despair to get accustomed to hilly conditions ." During the course of a two-month season the Wilkesmen logged close to 300 miles of running . The Colonels received their baptism of fire last fall , posting a 2-10 record while recording wins over Cheyney State and Lebanon Valley . Although their actual slate was worse this time around, the Blue and Gold showed definite improvement over their maiden effort. "We had only six runners out in 1971 and injuries really hurt us in the closing weeks of the season," the Colonel mentor said. Depth was no problem this fall as ten students turned out for the start of practice sessions in September . "Thank goodness injuries didn 't plague us this year, only the strength of our opponents. " Pawlush said . Most of the Colonel's foes field year-round track programs which in turn aides in recruiting talented high school athletes. Despite a lackluster start, things are looking up at the Wilkes cross country program . . , " Experience is the key, " Pawlush observed, " I'm also sure that we are going to attract many of our local high school runners who will want to stay home ." Only number two man , Gary Horning. will be lost through graduation . The n'maindcr of the squad should r eturn intact. Top Wilkes runner this year was junior Jere Woods, a native of Wharton, N.J . Woods was the most consistent Colonel harrier this fall, posting two first. three second. and two third-place finishes .

Judy Sanger likes all of these and is active enough in the first two to know that she does. This music education major from Livingston, N. J ., resides in Sullivan Hall and is a senior. Her interest in the theater has existed for a long time, but she never really got into it until college. In her freshman year, she tried out for a part and achieved her goal. This encouraged her to go on . Since that, Judy has been in "Stage Door," "Chamber Music," "Skin of Our Teeth, " "Guys and Dolls. " "Playboy of the Western World ," and directing finals . Her musical interests also have been given much activity . Her musical career has included the Madriga_ls , the Chorus and the Intercollegiate. She has also been in operas .done - by the Music Department, and has conducted the Choralettes. . Judy related to her character, Dolly Levy, in that both are flighty. She feels that Dolly Levy is more confident than she is, but is happy with the part because, "This is the first play in which I've gotten a man in the end ." .JOHNKYC Horace Vandergelder, the Yonkers merchant and egotistical old man on " The Matchmaker", has been played by men on Broadway , in summer stock, and other high schools and colleges. At Wilkes College, Vandergelder is played by a sophomore from North Arlington , N. J . John Kye , a resident of Colonels House in the New Men 's Dorm , doesn 't feel any relationship to his role, but his talents allow him to Jive the character. Al though undecided on a major , he is certainly not undecided on his interest in acting. John has always been a movie buff, which he feels started him on the road to his acting career. He began serious acting in high school productions ana in community summer stock productions. His acting career at Wilkes has included roles in: "Lion in Winter" and "Inherit the Wind". As an actor and as a hobbyist, John tries to interpret plays, to improvise on the scenes and to insert himself into the characterizations. John has been a member of the IDC and a lso has interests in painting and drawing . \ DON NASH The role of Cornelius Hackl , menial clerk to Vandergelder, is played by Don Nash, a biology major from Nichols , New York. A sophomore resident of Warner House , Don has been interested in the theater since high school, where he was in a few productions. Last year he was in "You Can't Take It With You ." Don has been active in track and cross country at Wilkes . Outside interests include bow hunting, trap shooting a nd fishing. Don relates fo his past as Cornelius because of the difference between him and Cornelius . Whereas Cornelius is undecisive , reserved and has an inferiority complex, Don feels he is the exact opposite. This, he feels, makes the part more enjoyable to him . RUTHANNE JONES Ruthanne Jones plays Mrs . Molloy , the reserved widow of " The Matchmaker." Ruthanne , a junior from Forty Fort , is a sociology major with a good interest in the theater. Her career at Wilkes began in her sophomore year when she played in "You Can't Take It With You." Since Then, she has been in "Inherit the Wind " and " Trial by Jury."

English 405, "Studies in Linguistics," will be open to area high school teachers and all students on campus . The course deals with t\le transformational grammar and phonetics in a manner similar to the undergraduate English 204, "History of the English Language," course. Dr. Thomas Kaska, department chairman, also stated that English 203, "Creative Writing," will be offered in the spring Dr. Philip L. Rizzo is slated as the instructor. Dr. Kaska explained that the loss of the English collection in the library has seriously curtailed the choice of courses offered at undergraduate and graduate levels . As stated by Kaska in last week's issue of the Beacon, it will take at least five years to replace the collection. The thematic breakdown of the English 102 series is also moving toward fulfillment. The themes of "Poetry," "The Utopian Ideal," "Education of the Young Man," "The Individual and Society," "Literature and Science," will be offered during the spring semester. The curriculum will include a reading list for each theme comprised of classical and contemporary works.

Editorially Speaking Vote - It!s Your Right , Next Tuesday, millions of Americans all over the United ., ' States will be going to the polls to record their vote -on a major issue - the election of a man who will govern the United States for the next four years. Among these people will be 11 million newly enfranchised voters approaching the ballot box, 18-year-olds, college students. There are a nu.mber of questions to be .considered in this election, and the newly enfranchised vo~r cannot afford to sit out this election on tl'\e grou_nds that his vote won't make any difference. First of all, the candidates vying for the Presidency differ widely in ideology and outlook. The new voter who refuses to cast a ballot is shirking the responsibility he claimed he .deserved. Shirking this responsibility invites the smuggest "I told you so" from the cynics and the skeptics. Unemployment, or future unemployment in the case of col~ege graduates comes into question. The candidate you might choose has the power of raising or lowering the unemployment rate in this country. By refusing to vote, the student invites inattention to his causes and guarantees that his interests will not be served . Remember, the right is yours - if you vote. A Job Well Done The Beacon would like to take this opportunity to con gratulate Miss Barbara McNicholl and her staff for a job well done on the 1972 Amnicola, Wilkes College yearbook. Art work, combined with poetry served to make the Amnicola not only an attractive publication but also a meaningful one. Too often, as is the case with an annual publication, the person, or people responsible are not around to view the resu Its of their efforts. It is also usually the case that a majority of the work done rests on the shoulders. of one individual, or a small group. Again, too often the only words these people hear are those of discouragement - what is wrong or what should ,have been done. Our sincere thanks 13nd best wishes gcf to Miss McNicholl for a job well done. Editor-in-chief . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . - .. • Marietta Bednar News Editor . . . Feature Editor .

Rules and regulations set down and ~ accepted as school policy are made ·j;i to be used as guidelines for student ~ conduct for the betterment of the academic and social environment of the students. Usually if there is any , question or doubt about the rules, the -- i deans will be consulted for their '1 advice . Recently , the question came up 1 about having men stay in the womJm's lounge after open housing · end.ed in order to study for a test. As everyone -knows , the closing hour in the women's dorm is midnight on weekdays. _ .... We consulted the dean to ask if it ·would be permissible to extend the privilege of having men stay in the lounge after 12 for this particular . night in order to study collectively for a test. The request was shot down with irrational excuses and knowledge of - any previous ·exceptions of this type were fully denied. Personally, I can · remember occasions where permission was granted last year. We were told that this was school policy and no .exception could be granted and it was 1suggested that the New Men 's Dorm .would be open all evening and that we should go there for the night to study. The alternative plan of studying in the New Men's Dorm sounds logical, · but would it really be wise to have a co-ed walking back to her dorm at 3 i a .m. , or consider the double standard .that women can sleep on the couches in the men 's dorm and yet it is highly . illegal for men to stay in the lounge of · the women's dorm. Also, the inconvenience and general lack of · facilities in the New Men's Dorm is not particularly adaptive to a student pulling an "all-nighter. " Obviously, someone is too wrapped 1p in the legality of rules , that a simple and safe exception to a policy cannot be granted or considered by the proper authority . Perhaps we should move to change the entire school policy for 24-hour open · housing since a legitimate exception to the rule will be considered ;i hsurrl. ·ii -iif", -* : / ·, - · •- . · · . · * .- ** Cheap* ·Thrills ... * * November2 Men 's Intramural Football....

In this state, there's a fine of up to $500 -or one year in jail-or both . {In some states, fines range as high as $10,000, with jail sentences of up to 10 years.) Modern electronic computer systems are making it increasingly easy to track down offenders. And the Telephone Company will not tolerate fraudulent calling , no matter who the offender may be. The penalties may seem harsh for something that may be done out of thoughtlessness. But the fact remains: The law does not look on phone fraud as a lark. @ee11 of Pennsylvania �THE BEACON Page 7 rpur, Madison FDU Defeat Wilkes Boaters GRIDIRON GUESSES utkiewicz ifured In ur Match by Ray McNulty WILKES VS LEBANON VALLEY onels' soccer team at the wee kposted a 3-7-1 record ointing defeats to Harpur Madison FDU (5-2) . rueling overtime struggle at Ralston Field the occer team was set back Binghamton team by 2-0. through the second half onels suffered ' a big ge whe n goalie Marty wicz was knoc ked unconremoved from the match. point, goalie Pobutkiewicz pressive ondefense with 14 r which he was replaced n goalie Steve Chaldorff. ton's first overtime goal red by Line Weaver with nd was followed by.Feyyaz "th 2:03 left. alto Binghamton gave the 3-6-1 record going into the th Madison FDU.

Their precision passing and excellent offensive strategy proved too much for the Wilkes defense. The Millersville offense was its own defense , blocking up Wilkes' free hits and intercepting passes . This allowed Millersville to keep the ball up in the Wilkes half of the field and stay on the attack . For Wilkes, goalie Laraine Mancuso displayed an outstanding defensive effort tallying 20 saves. Coac h Gay Meyers felt that "the score was not indicative of the caliber of hockey played by Wilkes ." Mrs. Meyers also felt that "this type of play experience is necessary for preparation for tournament play." The loss brings · the Colonettes ' record to 4-2-1 , with their final match of the season played Tuesday at Bucknell . ..

We don't make a lot of noise, but this is where it's really happening. You see, a large corporation like Kodak has the resources and the skill to make this world a little more decent place to live. And we intend to do what we can to see that this is exactly what happens. Toke our home city, Rochester, New York for example. We cut water pollution in the Genesee River by using natural bacteria to dispose of unnatural wastes. We cut air pollution by using electrostatic precipitators in a new combustible waste disposal facility. We helped set up a black enterprise program in downtown Rochester, and we've been experimenting with film as a way to train both teachers and students-including some students who wouldn't respond to anything else. And we didn't stop with Rochester. Kodak is involved in 47 countries all over the world. Actively involved. NI Why? Because it's good business. Helping to clean the Genesee River not only benefits society ... but helps protect another possible source for the clean water we need to make our film. Our combustible waste disposal facility not only reduces pollution ... but just about pays for itself in heat and power production and silver recovery. Our black enterprise program not only provides an opportunity for the economically disadvantaged ... but helps stabilize communities in which Kodak can operate and grow. And distributing cameras and film to teachers and students not only helps motivate the children .. . but helps create a whole new market. In short, it's simply good business. And we're in business to make a profit. But in furthering our business interests, we also further society's interests. And that's good. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it. Kodak More than a business. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Holbert stated that the ers in his district were lent because they possessed the ing characteristics necessary a "good" teacher : excellent ledge of subject matter , a good round in educational courses in e, the ability to lead students learning situations , a sense of r and dedication. Questions Asked in the Interview prospecti ve teacher in the ton Heights school district , as as other school districts, must er several questions during an iew conducted by Dr . Holbert, not a ;,., . of the school and the to a cert artment. The three try . questions as : " Why e stressed you over the other 'What modern trends The applicant is , by no means , to be docile , passive and indifferent while seeking the job. The teacher-applicant should be anxious to learn the answers to questions such as : " What is the ethnic background in this school district ?," " What grading system is used ?," "What are the conditions of the work contract ?," " How are students grouped ?," " What are the salary and fringe benefits of the job?" and " What kind of freedom will teachers have in a classroom ? " Following his speech Dr. Holbert adroitly answered questions asked by various members of the Education Club . He remarked that student aiding and student teaching would definitely be an asset to Wilkes students who have had experience in nongraded schools because Abington Heights has plans of becoming completely non-graded by 1975. The question was raised " What things have been accomplished in the Abington school district on the secondary level?" Dr . Holbert smiled and answered, "Several innovations have been instituted in the Abington Heights school district , including elimination of fina l exams, elective programs in social studies, mini courses in industrial arts, independent study in sciences for exceptional pupi ls and a revolving schedul e whereby a student would no t have the same subject every day Clean-Up Slated The newly formulat ed Wilkes Community Effort Progra m , under the student direction of Steve Apaliski , has slated the clean up of Kirby Park in Kingston as its first major project on Saturday at 10 a.m .

Tlw game opened with Lycoming taking control ,if the ball off the ganw ·s first bully and rushing down field to score. Wilkes came right gack and did the same exact thing on the st•cond bully. From that point on the Wilkes line continued to rush the cage and score seven more times. Mrs. Meyers felt that the line displayed it's best passing so far this season along with some super rushing of the Lycoming goal. Credit was given to Halfbacks Lindsay Farley, Stephanie Pufko and Sue Ditson who did a commendable job kl•eping the ball up to the offensive . On the whole the defense played well against the Lycoming line having well -timed interceptions . Inner Kathy Haughey and center forward l{ae Greene each scored thn•e of the Wilkes goal with wing Donna Doncses scoring the final two goals of the game . Assist on the goals came from Donna Doncses with three. Kathy Haughey with two and llae Greene and Stephanie Pufko each being credited with one . After scoring eight times against Lycoming, bringing this two total to 11 goals , the Colonelettes were ready and waiting for Keystone Junior College. If anything was unique about the Wilkes-Keystone match it was that for the first time it snowed during a game played on the Wilkes Pitch. Althoug h the weather was extremely cold, the forward line proved to be as hot against Keystone as it was against Misericordia and Lycoming . Wilkes downed Keystone by a score of 5-2. The scoring for Wilkes was extremely s pread out with Rae Greene. Kathy Haughey, Donna Doncses , Brenda Reppart and Stephanie Pufko.

Whenever an article appears in the Beacon, it is obviously fair game for any member of the campus community to criticize errors of news judgement, coverage or events. These same people sometimes carry their arguments into the classroom situation. Yet, there is an easy out - or perhaps, a not-so-easy out._ For, it demands at least 15 minutes of your time. It involves sitting down at a typewriter and - quite simply voicing your opinion in a letter to the editor. It almost appears · as if members of the Wilkes Com. munity are afraid to stand up for what they believe is right. It becomes a matter of simply saying, "THEY wouldn't print it anyway." Try us.

The aim of the rse is not to ma ke wide-eyed atics of the 22 fema le members of class, but to help them gain a n areness of their feminine and an condition . This will be omplished by reading and ussing the works famo us nch auhors such as Moliere , cine, Diederot, Fla ubert , Si m ne de Deauvoir and other s.

All of the readings , which used as supplements to the do not agree in ilosophy or approach . " The mance of the Rose " by Jean de ng and "The Girls " by Henri de ntherlant are examples of blatant or sexist attitudes . A fr an k discussion of fema le sexua lity is found in "The Second Sex " by Simone de Beauvoir that is far ahead of its time. The only pro blem encounter ed by Miss Lovette is the scarcity of E nglish transla ti ons of wo rks by other French authors such as Madame de Stael and Henri-Marie Beyle Stendha l. She won wholehearted suppor t from Dr .Michael Sietz, head of the Foreign Language Departm ent, when the idea for a course of this type was proposed last semester .

Marywood, Scra nton University, Ma nsfield State, E ast Stroudsburg Sta te, Lycoming , Williams port Community and the Hazleton and Lehm an extensions of P e nn State. The majority of these colleges had a Campus Ministry Organization of their own prior to the progress meeting. The m eeting ha d a dual purpose : the first was to check on the progress of the colleges which a lready have on-ca mpus m inistries ; the other was to integra te the Organiza tion into the operations of the colleges which didn 't. F a ther Bendick, of St. Pius X Ministr y, organized and conduc ted the m eeting and was assis ted by Buddy Snyder , the student r epresenta tive from E ast Stroudsburg State. After an open discussion between the pri ests, nuns and students , the group divided into two individual discussion sessions. Father Bendick headed a discussion among the priests and nuns while Snyder took charge of the inter-collegiate " student rap-session." Fiorino and Miss Fisher returned to Wilkes with the intent of creating a chapter of the Campus Ministry Organization here. After a meeting with Father Adonizio, of St. Mary 's Parish, the duo decided to open discussion of the program with . Student Government. After all arguments were heard, SG created a committee to examine the concept fully . Soon after , the Wilkes Campus Ministry was initiated. As of yet, there are no additional activities scheduled other than the Saturday nights' service . There will be a state convention in the near future and held at Indiana University of Pennsylvania .

As a child I kept my m outh shut in public buses, tra ins, restaurants and restrooms, I went through the formative years pointing a lot. -Everyday before I'd walk to school , alone, my Mother would whisper in my ear , "Now be sure not to talk to strangers. Or you'll be sorry." And Cha irman Mom is a real pro at her own teachings . She leaves notes for the milkman, turns away the Avon lady, and doesn't use a mouthwash , "just so people won't be tempted to ta lk to me." "Me, she-talks to," my Father laments . "How did I ever get so lucky?" Recently, my 14-year old brother, Barry, and I got together when nobody was looking . He told me that his teache r , Mr. Elm m , sent home a note to my mother . "Ba r ry is uncom municative a nd does not par take in classroom discuss ion . P lease come in to see me." So my Mother dragged in and sat in conference in Mr. Elmm 's office . " Wh y is it that Barry won' t ta lk in class? " he asked. " He wo n't ta lk to his peers ." . " P eers , shmeers, " m y Mother told him . " I told the boy not to .talk to stra ngers ." " But I don 't unde rstand .. . " "You will never unders tand , Mr . Elmm , until you've been a i:rother ." . Las t week , she called m e up to see if everything was going well. " So listen ," she sa id . " Now that you li ve away fr om home , you clon 't talk to a nyone , do you ? " " Of course! not. " " You don 't talk to anyone ? How're you ever going to meet anyone if you don 't talk to a nyone ?" " But you told me not to talk to strangers ... " " .. .. or you 'll be sorry. Remember that. " " Well , at what point does a stranger become someone you ca n talk to ?" " When he becomes your mother ." " Mom , didn't you ever talk to a stranger? " " Ye~, once. And look what happened to me. " " What happened? " " I married your father ." My mother also applies her philosophy to strangers -like the President of the United States . "You see ," she said, " if that man had li stened to hi s .• mother and not talked to strangers , we'd be getting along with other countries now ." She looked up startled "You're going to argue with a mother? " And history is not exempt from Mother 's adage . " If that girl Juliet had listened to her mother and not talked to strangers, she 'd be- alive today ." I visited a fri e nd in New York last month a nd spent ha lf the day findin g someone who'd stop long enough to give m e di recti ons. " I don 't un ders ta nd it ," I told my fri end . " No one will ta lk to me in thi s city . What is it with these people? " "What can I tell you ?" m y fri end told me. "Everyone in the city of New York has a mother who told him not to tal k to strangers. In fac t, if my Mom knew I was talki ng to you right now , she'd murder me ." Recently , I told my pa rents that I would be coming home that weekend for a visit.

The campaign trail in which ' only one party is actually doing any campaigning, has taken on a new note . Instead of beating a dead horse i.e. , the Watergate Affair, International Telephone and Telegraph , and yes , even the war, George McGovern has turned forces towards his single most powerful campaign weapon ; his cha racter versus that of President Richard Nixon's. he needs more and bigger funds to The polls which McGovern has so financ e a media campaign aimed at steadfas tly refused to acknowledge nine half-hour television shows. have long indicated that the Vietnam But the picture remains to be bleak Wa r is simply no longer a ma jor fo r the thousands of McGovern campaign issue in the eyes of a bout volun teers throughout the country . 70 per cent of the voters.

Somehow Amer icans have always gi ven a damn about moral issues and George McGovern intends to exploit that issue to its fullest extent. McGovern , according to " Newsweek" magazine, has even lost the credibility issue to Nixon. A recent Gallop poll showed President Nixon nolding a three to one edge as the more sincere of the two men . "McGovern has lost the credibility issue," said one aid. "There's no wa y he can get it back in time ." The credibility issue was lost with Senator Thom~s Eagleton .

We also gave him the right to fail. At Kodak, it's not unusual for a 25-year-old like Jim Carroll to win the title of senior research physicist. Like any company involved in a lot of basic research, Kodak has felt the pressure of modern technology and the need for young, fresh thinking. So we hire the best talent we possibly can,' and then give them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whatever their age. We have departments and divisions, like any company. What we don't have are preconceived ideas about how an expert scientist's time should be spent. So when we received a request from the medical community for assistance in experimenting with lasers as a possible cal1cer treatment, we turned to 25-year-old Jim Carroll, who is deep in laser tech- nology, and gave him the go-ahead. He built two half-billion watt laser systems, one of which Kodak has donated t'o the National Institute of Health. The lasers proved unsuccessful in treating cancer, but we'd make the same decision all over again. We entered laser technology because we have a stake in business. We let a young researcher help the medical community look for a means of cancer treatment because we have a stake in the future of mankind. To put it another way, we're in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own needs, we have often furthered society's. After all, our business depends on our society. So we .care what happens to it.

Hahnema/1n Project Promotes Optimism �THE BEACON Page 2 October 12, Editorially Speaking WiwJ, S~? Security, or the lack of it has come to be a major concern on the Wilkes College campus. For one reason or another, primarily due to losses of electrical facilities during the June flood, there has been a lack of sufficient lighting on the campus. Primary areas of concern include the construction area . along S. River Street, near and around the music building, and the corner of W. Northampton and S. River Streets. If only for safety reasons, · these particular areas should receive sufficient lighting. Planks, nails and other debris present a safety hazard of their own, if not able to be seen. These particular areas also provide refuge for prowlers on the campus. It has go~ten to the point where the female students on campus at night either ask to be escorted from one area to another or do not go out after 8 p.m. This is extremely impractical, since a vast majority of the students have at least one night class a week or meetings to attend. For example, Student Government, Inter-Dormitory Council and Commuter Council all hold meetings in the evening. Students have been making an honest effort to have activities go on virtually as scheduled last year, but the lack of security seems to have dampened the students' spirits considerably. There are a number of male students on campus who would be willing to spend a few hours a week, under the work-study program, in order to supplement the regular school security force. There are currently only five members of_ the security force on campus. These men canmt cover the entire campus. Perhaps with a little help, in an organized fashion, where the students have a set beat, the amount of security on campus could provide a situation whereby no student would be afraid to walk the streets at night.

Student Attacks Wilkes Ignorance - •* To the Editor : If ignorance is bliss, then Wilkes College must be heaven itself. There is no doubt that college campus life is the closest thing to being ·back in the womb--an island, a protective bubble that shelters its inhabitants from that nasty smog outside known as reality . But here it seems to be more incarceration than just protection, with no chance of excape. The fact that there is not a copy of the daily morning newspaper to be had anywhere on or near this campus is incredible. Worse, however, is the fad that no one here even gives a damn . A small example, granted, but one from which the feeling permeating this campus can be extracted. The ambivalence--the lethargy--the total disinterest in that real world is outrageously apparent. Is this the school's fault for not scheduling 15 minutes of calesthen- · ics and current events every morning - or not scheduling ''Reality 101" at sometime more convenient than "NOW"? Is it the catatonic effect qf the bustling burg in which we 're situated? Or does the problem lie in the fact that the students just don't give a damn? Yours, "Beacon," should be the guiding light if not the igniting spark on this wilted campus. You, it would seem, hold the last line of communication between the students and the real world. Last week's editorial spoke of chaggenge - are you willing to accept the responsi' bility and the challenge that is yours? It must begin somewhere. Let's get on with it. Cheaj: -Thrills .

It's called honest-to-God Canine College and there I was with my little dog and her little neck and a choke chain and a long leash and thirty other dogs and their pets. Canine College. The education establishment for dogs and their masters the Harvard of dog schools, with tuition to match. We were told not to br ing our dogs to the first lesson. Like the PTA. So we could learn what we'd be learning. There were youngsters, grandmas, proud parents. A big ma n passed Polaroids around of his huge St. Bernard leaping at his wife. "Isn't she cute?" he said. "You have a lovely wife," his neighbor said. "Not my wife - my dog, Teeny," he growled. A little lady whispered in my ear. "My husband and I weren't fortunate enough to have a college education. That's why we want our Maxie to go to college." " Quiet, shut up and no," barked the nasal instructor who talked as if she'd just swallowed a n adenoid. " In the next twelve weeks, we' re going to learn to heel our dogs, to make them sit and other things, too. And when they don't obey, choke them hard -- hard . They'll cry and whine and yelp , but when they do-- snap -- choke them . Remember, obedience means never having to say you 're sorry." And then she demonstrated on her arm with a li ttle chain that she 'd snap whenever her arm wouldn't sit or heel. A week la ter , we brough t our dogs and left our grandmothers home. Pavlov would have been proud . No one salivated except the owners , but the dogs did learn some new tr icks . Oh , not how to heel or sit or lay down or anything complicated like that.But how to shut up when they were choked, which I guess is important in a dog 's daily life. I had visions of graduation day when my dog would fetch her diploma. For an hour , we walked around in circles. If your dog doesn 't walk close to your leg , pull the leash hc1rd and -snap. If your dog doesn't sit -- snap. If yoµr dog fe tches and you haven't said "fetch" -- snap. · 'Remember, dog lovers ," the instructor said. " You are the master . If your dog doesn't behave -- snap," she said , pulling the choke chain around the wrist that wasn't in a cast. But finally it was over and the instructor said we should go out and " empty our dogs out ," as she put it, although most of our dogs had already emptied themselves out, in . On the way home my dog sat in the front seat of the car gagging . F inally , she caught her breath , looked up at me a nd spoke. "Why a re you doing this to me'O" she said. " If you wa nted me to sit , why didn 't you just ask me like a normal creature ? Believe me, I would have sitten." "Sat," I corrected . "Sat. Gosh, do you ever need schooling ." " Okay , sat. So big deal. I made a mistake. But I'm not going back to that place -- all that choking and yelping ." "You are because," I said, " I want you to learn to behave." " Behave, shmave. All you 'd have to do is ask me nicely and politely and I'd behave. Anyway, I'm going to drop out. " " No you 'r e not. I'll cut you off without a milkbone if you do ." "Big deal. I'll run away. I'll get a little place of my own . Or I'll join a canine commune. I don 't like this school. I want to go to a free school where we don't have all these strict requi rements and where we can learn at our own pace and where I can do my own thi ng. And all those Teenies and Fu-Fus and Maxies . Ugh. Those a ren 't names for real dogs ." " Shut up , Zsa Zsa . You'll do what you're told." "What do you car e? I'm the only dog in the class who · isn 't purebred. A spaniel asked me where my papers were , and I told her that I don't use papers anymore now that I'm housebroken, and she laughed at me. She said I must ha ve been bused ·her e." We drove in silence for awhile and then : " Hey watch out--you 'll hit that kid on the bike.' ' More silence. ''You know , thi ~ isn 't the kind of education you believe in . I thought you believed in freedom of expression and liberation of soul. How will I ever find out Who I Am and Where I'm Going with all that regimentation and choking? What do you want, that I should be on Ed Sullivan or something , jumping through hoops of fire? " "The Ed Sullivan Show was canceled, stupid?" " Yeah . ' That's another thing---you'll only let me watch educational TV now . What am I ever going to do with Sunrise Semester Intermediate Spanish and Japanese cooking?" "I am doing this for your own good . Someday you'll ., thank' me." That was yesterday, Today I went back to classes and homework and examinations and grades. I · can't understand-it. All day I've had this sharp snapping pain around my neck . �Page 6 Candlelight Dinner No Longer A Treat THE BEACON 'Sha Na Na' Concert Discussed SG CON DEMNS SECURI Trailers became home for other campus employees who bought their own trailers and positioned them on key locations on the Wilkes College Campus. Such was the case with Nelson Carle, superintendent of buildings and grounds. He is shown here with Charles Abate, College Business Manager. Dining by candlelight is one thing any young couple might enjoy occasionally. But when the same couple has to eat by candlelight, work by candlelight, cook by candlelight and eventually move by candlelight , it becomes quite another story - one that would try even the most patient soul.

Possible remedies for the situation include the creation of a student security force and improved lighting for Chase Hall , River St. and other critical areas . SG Vice-President Bob Linaberry noted that "the security force on our campus does need a little boost" and that students were in the best position to help . Also mentioned were the possible legal implications of such action. Due to a procedural t~chnicality, SG had to re-uphold all their motions made during their September 27 meeting. Apparently, SG suspended their rules for a short time when they didn't have a quorum . Motions made during that time were void and had to be reconsided. SG argued around the feasibility of designing their own newsletter . Many members expressed disappointment with the Beacon's ability to completely cover SG meetings . Their newsletter would provide comprehensive breakdowns of voting and debate . IDC President Jim Fiorino discussed an idea to bring in a campus ministry . He and Ann Shifano met with priests and nuns from St. Nicks and St. Marys to explore the concept. SG President Mike Barski stated, "It's well worth our time to look into." An attempt to cancel the speech by People 's Bicentennial Representative Ed Swartz failed . Brynley James claimed that the student body simply isn 't interested in the event and the $500 fee would constitute a "misuse of funds." Tickets for the Homecoming concert featuring " Sha Na Na" are on sale this week. Concert Chairman Linaberry announced that the affair would be held in the gym. The chairs will be reserved and the bleachers are to be used for general admission. IDC President Fiorino asked if there could be any re-occurance of the events that took place during the "Byrds " concert last year . Linaberry assured everyone that no more tickets would be printed than there are seats. Commuter Council President Buddy Brezinski admitted that despite publicity, "the shuttle bus is failing miserably." Day-hops just don 't want to park at Ralston field . A political debate, scheduled and moderated by CC President Brezinski , will be held November 1, at 7 p.m. in the C.P .A. The debate will encompass the issues of the '72 presidential election.

Robert E. Werner has been appointed chairman of the Wilkes Department of Commerce and Finance, succeeding Dr . Sam Rosenberg , who headed the department for 25 years , accordin announcement by college President Francis J . Michelini. . According to Dr. Werner, part of the problem concerning student 1 1~ today centers around the relation_.,........,_ _, os. ship of the professor to the student. Dr. Werner states, "To illustrate my position , I believe that the professor should occu·py a rather special relationship with the student. I believe the professor's contact with the student personifies the institution, it is a point of contact with the institution. " Few intlividuals, as proven in business firms can identify with the concept of the ideal of the dirm without some human contact. This contact is mad~ through a particular individual or a group. In business, according to Dr. Werner, the foreman is the company personified. On a college level, the professor is the institution personified. To illustrate his point about Wilkes College will be among 20 colleges and universities taking part in the annual Pennsylvania Collegiate students, Dr. Werner has been Choral Festival on October 19-2J at Elizabethtown College.

Also outstanding defensively in contrast to a somewhat dismal offense , which was never able to get going, were Bob Lina berry and Jerry Blade.

Reese The first thing I must say about my trip to the 1972 Olympics in Munich was that it was a most memorable experience. Not just the games and the competition but the people, customs, excitement, and the overall thr ill of being part of the gr ea test exhi bition of world competition and com munication . I was fortun a te to have been able to visit the Olympic village during the fi rst two days. Just witnessing all the athletes from each of the countries in their native dress was quite a thrill. Seeing many of the famous name ath le tes you read about, an d listening to the conversations , ideas and question , which they were trying to con vey to each othe r was interesting . Most popular tr adition of the pre-Olympic competition was trading of pins between the athletes of the different countries . I traded my only two pins with Russian wrestling coaches. That was all I had to trade , unfortunately I didn 't take a lot of pins from home to trade with the coa ches of different countries. My daughter , Megan , managed to get a Japanese and Philippine pin while we were tpere. The old veter ans of the Olympic com petition wer e well prepared and had many pins to trade. The games themselves were very thrilling and just viewing the best in the world was well wor th the trip .

I was so pleased that our F r ee Style Wrestling team did so well. We received three gold medals, two silver medals , and one bronze medal. Six of our ten wrestlers won medals . This was the best showing that the United States team has ever made in world wrestling. Even our losing wrestlers grappled very well. Everyone was well conditioned and prepared for the competition.

After renting a car we soon found out why. Gas was so expensive tha t one can't affort to drive a big car. Small cars get very good mileage on gas and are therefore more economical to run . This doesn't stop them from being the fastest drivers around .There weren 't any speed limits of any kind in Europe. They all ... U. S. HAD TROUBLES . Our other teams did not fare as well ana , overall , had a very disappointing output. There were many very upsetting events which occurred during the games that the American teams would be happy to forget. There were many other things that I will never forget and would like to make special note. After visiting this country of 77 million people (17 million in East Germany and 60 million in West Germany ) I can realize why they almost beat the whole world in World War 1 and II .

The a thletes competed and the people attended but it just wasn 't the same . Ther e was always the thought that something else might happen and this kept ever yone on edge. The people of Germany wer e fascina ting to be near. One of the a reas which my family and I fo und differ ent a nd a musing was the cars and the individual dri vi ng parking habits.

Agreeing with the late Dr. Mailey, Shaw believes that the Institute's greatest asset is gaining the respect and trust of the college and the community. Without the co-operation and responsiveness of the school administration, Shaw stated that it would be diffic ult to even begin to establish his progra ms. During the course of this interview, one theme was prevalent : "that Wlkes College is Wyoming Valley 's greatest asset. A dynamic college educates and serves not only its students but the community as a whole ." The future may be slowed by financial difficulties, apathy and resentment, but the Institute and similar organizations attempt to break up the log jams of tradition, corruption and incompetence that have long retarded the growth of the Valley.

Washers and dryers set up in the dorms will soon be in working order , and there will be no soda machines in the immediate future. Van de Water also enlarged upon the new drinking policy . There was much emphasis placed on the rule of no drinking on the college lawns and in academic buildings . Because Kirby Park was destroyed in the flood , there will be no outdoor intramurals . To rectify this , three volley ball nets will be placed on campus . Other sports equiptment ,badminton sets and fri sbees are also available at the housing office. Any other equipment may be requested . Jeff Prendergast, Vice President of IDC, suggested a new way for students to find rides to other colleges and to their homes .

New furniture, new people, a new class and innovations. The 1972-73 academic year promises to be one of challenges, to say the least. But we feel confident that the student body is capable of handling these challenges, along with faculty and adtninistrators. Each year when students return to campus for the beginning of fal I activities, there are several inconveniences. This year there were a few more as studen ts had endless lines in which to wai t. Surprisingly enough, the Wilkes spirit has prevailed once again - the same spirit t he school exhib its at football games when the Colonels are behind. It was the same spirit that was exhibited early in the summer when hundreds of volunteers came back to the college campus to aid in flood recovery efforts officially dubbed "Operation Snapba~k." Everyone has heard the slogan "Wilkes is coming back - better than ever." Somehow that might seem a little hard to believe as we sit here amid unfinished rooms and boards. But that spirit seems undiminished. We hav~ come through worse things, now we can survive the wrath of the Susquehanna River. Along with the changes have come several new policies, especially in the area of dormitory living. Visitation and unrestricted hours greeted incoming freshmen quite a change -from the 11 p.m. curfew of 1969 for women's dormitories. Yes, the changes are here, and the need is great for the support of the entire student body. It remains up to you to continue with your understanding and support so that Wilkes College can truly come back bigger and better than ever.

With the aid of a few tho1Jsand pounds of microorganisms, we're helping to ·solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one ·of the most efficient water-purifying systems private industry has ever developed. One process is called "activated sludge," developed by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption. What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combiµation. We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years. kl ( At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-miIIion°dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day. Governor Rockefeller called th.is "the biggest voluntary project undertaken by private industry in support of New York State's pure-water program." Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to make a profit- and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's. And our business depends on society,. We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together.

Farley, first president of Wilkes College, in the aftermath of the June 23 disaster and ran as a Letter to the Editor in the August 3 edition of the New York Times. Dr. Farley watched Wilkes College grow from an offshoot of Bucknell University with one building to the 58-building complex it is today. Dr . Farley came to Wilkes in the midst of a depression, helping the college grow following the flood of 1936, in the middle of a fa iling While memories of water, mud and devastation are still f resh maybe each of us will join in planning for the re-birth of our Valley. One hundred and fifty years ago the " Vale of Uyoming" was reputed to be one of the most beautiful spots in the East. .

Fifty years ago our Valley was noted f or its labor strife and for the by Janice Yarrish physical and psychological scars left by the mining industry.

The check was called only a first installment, with $6-million more to arrive in the near future, covering the And then in afew hours we were inundated with flood waters andj eft with inches of mud and material damage that had to be seen to be believed.

In the midst o1 crisis we were united. Now that we are slowly recovering may we maintain and enlarge this unity. May we unite to restore the beauty of our Valley while we strive to rebuild our homes and our industries. If we possess the vision, the will . . . . . and the desire, we can, m cooperatwn with our neighbors, our state and d l h b 1 h d h ·t fi rur e era governments, restore t e est o t e past.

This is a dream but America was built by dreamers who were also doers and our Valley was being rebuilt by men. and women of vision who also were doers. Can ~ not work to sustain this dream? There are many agencies at work to provide the instruments for new growth. Let us work with them to build a new and better economy and a more beautiful community. It can be done if we envision it and possess the will to do it. Dr. Eugene S.

You have the unique distinction of being the first class to enter Wilkes following the June 23 disaster. Never before in the history of the college has the challenge been so great to an incoming class. Not only will you have to face the everyday challenges of a college career, but you are also asked to put up with everyday inconv~niences, such as they are. It is our sincere hope that you wi II be able to put forth the "Spirit of '76" and meet this challenge and come out of college with a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Friday morning, June 23, when everyone in the city of Wilkes-Barre was asked to evacuate, the situation was like something out of a science fiction thriller. The Susquehanna River wrought a great deal of destruction in the entire area to homes, businesses and institutions of higher learning. But the people in the area refused to say die, returning to the area immediately after waters receded on foot, carrying shovels, brooms, mops and other assorted cleaning material. Wilkes College !llet its own challenge, returning to summer and evening classes just 12 days after the disaster. The individuals responsible for this recovery, which many had believed impossible, displayed a great deal of spirit and determination. This was the spirit which greeted you in the fall of 1972 and' it is the same spirit with which we hope you can leave Wilkes College - a more complete individual because of it.

This was due, in ' large part, to the efforts put forth by the graduating class of 1972. Throughout the year we' ve seen many innovations, changes and an all-around effort for improvement on the part of the student body. Thanks to the efforts of a few ind iv iduals who put in long hours fo r various projects, we now have longe·r visitation hours in both the men's and women's dormitories, w e also have a new school ca lendar which w ill enable more students to pick up additional funds during the semester break . We would like to take this opportunit y to Vl{ish members of the 1972 Wilkes College graduat ing class the best of luck in all their future endeavors.

This flora my th is followed th rough to the time the fl owe r is in bloom and ready to be plucked. B?ys seem to be able to explore, experiment and discover, whereas girls' en deavors are limited to aspects considered " ladylike. " Even if a girl is for tunate to have parents who encourage her creativity , independence and strength, she is still in conflict with the rest of society. As one woman who had been raised quite freely explain s, " When I reached the dating age I was confu sed. I wan te d to be liked and go out but I was not sure that it was righ t to conform to all of the phonies an d games to do so." Women are often as much to blame as men fo r their treatmen t. Anothe r member tells us, " There are girls in my dorm who dre ss up in skirts every single day because they really believe this is the way 'boys want them to be." Of course there are th ose who " dress u p" in jeans for the same reason. It doesn 't re ally matter but the motivation of gaining self-gratification through approval of the opposi te sex is pretty sad whe n one prerogative to ch ange he r mind ." This-is never exactly defined but it seems to con tain the overtones that since a woman is fic kle she can never be taken se riously. We y e placed with the heavy burden of responsibility to mankind as "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world ." Naturally if anything goes wrong it is our fau lt. In some secondary sch ools many girls are taught that , " A man is only as pure as the girl is," and we have to be very careful on dates because everyone knows that a man has no control. We are always allowed to feel guilty about every thing in general. We must be carefu l of hurting a man's pride because of his " male ego" an d be his servan t because a " man 's h ome is his castle." Since it is a man's world we must live according to his whims and it is pretty h ard to say n o.

This in itself was slightly unnerving. I had just completed an entire academic year during which I watched the newspaper facing the firing squad and come out in shreds. I also watched one senior carry on a losing battle, not only with the campus, but with the staff, and herself. This was the same position I was to fill - quite a bleak prospect. The advisor stepped in with a word of confidence. "This isn't exactly the most popular job on campus." Perhaps a quote from Dr. Eugene S. Farley best sums it up : "The two worst jobs on campus are the college president and the editor of the school newspaper - ·and not necessarily in that order." I didn't have the position officially, yet by April, I was battling for the very existance of the newspaper - quite an initiation. The year has been filled almost entirely with criticism from all sides, but it has been an experience that I'll never be sorry to have lived through. Trying to explain the feeling of knowing that you have completed and published an entire issue in less than five days is difficult, to say the least. -If you are brave enough to attempt an explanation, most people label you nuts, shake their head and walk away in sympathy. Putting out a newspaper isn't always the easiest or most rewarding job. It involves giving up a major portion of your weekends. This' can be particularly difficult especially if it's a nice warm day and spring fever is dominant. It also in.volves explaining to an irate mother why you were out of the dorm until 11 :30 on Tuesday night and no one knew where you were. Perhaps most importantly it involves a great deal of understanding on the part of those individuals you come in contact witn constantly. Right now it's a standard joke with my roommate that the only way she knows I'm still alive is an occasional change of clothes on the bed. Dates have been broken in odd ways - sickness, a doctor's appointment, a death in the family. But try breaking a date because a problem has come up with the newspaper - at 9:30 p.rn. on Friday night. Needless to say, it takes a pretty special individual, who is almost as nutty yourself to understand something like this. Last, but certainly not least, comes the advisor. Most people have some ncept of what a newspaper advisor does on a college level, but very few dl1 come up with a clear picture. I've been fighting for two years to :,cplain that an advisor's job is not t0 censor or decide what articles will go into a particular issue but to offer the necessary professional experience. Oddly enough, the majority of complaints raised this year were a result of mechanics that most don't understand. I can honestly say we've come a long way along the professional lines. In addition , the advisor has had to act as a buffer zone between the departments and the staff. It would be idealistic to even attempt a year without mistakes, but I honestly can't see too much drastically wrong with the issues this past year, except perhaps for a lack of enthusiasm on the part of a number of staff members. · Right now I'm in an awkward position. I'm stepping down in responsibility for next year. In most respects, it'll be a unique experience. ·Few editors have had the opportunity to sit back and watch their product take shape under new management. On~ of the hardest things to realize is that mistakes will have to be made m order to learn.

Donna, who struck-out six, walked three batters in the first inning and appeared to be a little nervous, and replied, 'that was to scare'm a little, I have to save the best for last.' ' 'De' got started pitching quite by accident. In high school she was playing catch with a girl friend (who was the pitcher) and was spied by " the coach who said 'You on the mound.' That about did it. Believe it or not, the secret to Donna's success is the food she eats soybeans and ice cream - an odd combination but believe me, she really does. Laraine Mancuso and Val Aiello were cited by 'De' for their hitting as each recorded a perfect four for four day. Her roomie, who played a fantastic game in the field, must also be given credit even though she did steal Donna's 'Dumb Polak Doll' (sorry Stan, but it doesn't look a bit like you). Ted Yeager Val 'Bob' Aiello, who caught the game said 'Donna did a tremendous job holding a team like Weiss to only one run.

A 6-0, 185-pound slugging first baseman, senior co-captain Mike Bergbauer, before this season was co-holder with Tom Higgins of the Colonel career home run mark at 7, and held a lifetime batting average of .331. He has lettered four consecutive years in baseball and in 1970 set a Colonel single season record by blasting out four circuit shots. With two games remaining this season Bergbauer was hitting well' over .3 50 while playing flawless defense at first base. An accounting major, Bergy, or "XL," as his colleagues refer to him , hails from Ivyland , Pennsylvania, where opposing pitchers soon ascertained and lamented that his bat was poison and neither calamine lotion, greasy kid stuff, nor supplicatio'ns that he be scratched from the line-up could stop it fro m infecting the ball park with base hits. Page 11 Two Wilkes College Spring Sport teams (golf and baseball), have captured Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and the Lacrossers of Coach Chuck Mattei are trying to become the third. The stickmen continued their success by surprising Western Maryland, 9-3, in a conference clash at Westminister on Saturday.

SPORTS - 't PRISM by Steve Jones "Final Edition" or "For those of you who have read me 'religiously,' you'll be happy to know that these are my 'last writes' of the semester, so I'll be choosing my words 'bury' carefully." Bringing you the pithy results of the Colonels' athletic exploits this year have been my sometimes punctual, sometimes accurate, never grammatical, but always able and enthusiastic s·ports staff of Jim Godlewski, Ray McNulty, Rich Lopatto, Gary Horning, Joe Iero, Kathy Davies, Val Aiello and John "the real Coward Hosell" Pisano. No kind of writing is easy, good writing is difficult, and , according to my sports staff, excellent writing is impossible! Joking aside, at times my staffs printed materials have been as trinkets of joy to my empty , starved-for-anything pages and I'd like to thank them for a job well done and warn everyone within reading distance that most of them will be back next year. Thanks also go to Mr. Moran , Mr. Pawlush, Cyndy Marple, Mariea Barbella and the Moran sisters (my typists), and the athletes and coaches for their assistance ; and a special thanks goes to Marietta ·Bednar who so aptly taught me the art of accepting criticism and whose blitz-course mini typing lesson has made me the incomparable 10-word per minute typist that I am today. (That's pun for the road, Marietta.) _ Sports-wise it has been a very productive year. The Colonels captured three MAC championships in wrestling, golf and baseb all and, as of this writing, have a chance to notch one more in lacrosse. The soccer squad battled their way to the MAC championship game before yielding and the football and swimming teams turned in improved and admirable showings. Cross-country was launched in its inaugural season at Wilkes and two rookie coaches, Tom Rokita, who had his tennis team in the thick of every conte~, and Rodger Bearde, who guided the Colonel cagers to their first MAC Tournament, were cited by many for their supererogative and devoted efforts. MAC 'North' Oiampionship Colonel Diamondmen Win by Rich Lopatto The Wilkes College baseballers clinched their second MAC Northern Division diamond title with a well-earned win over Philadelphia Textile, their 11th consecutive victory , at Temple University's ball park last Saturday. The Blue and Gold put together a 12-hit barrage to defeat their opponents 7-4. Saturday's triumph put Wilkes' record at 11-1 overall and 9-1 in MAC play. The Colonels defeated Ursinus College in a contest earlier in the week by an 8-1 margin. A playoff for the championship of the MAC between the Northern and Southern top teams is scheduled to be played on Saturday, May 13, at Artillery Park. Current leaders in the Southern circuit are Moravian, PMC and Washington Colleges. The winner of the playoff will then have an opportunity to be selected to the NCAA regional tournament. The Colonels copped their first MAC Northern ti tie since 1968 behind the pitching of senior· Ted Sokolowski and the big sticks of Mike Berbauer, Frank Galicki and , Marty Pobutkiewicz. Sokolowski, a Nanticoke native, earned his fifth victory in a row while fanning nine batters in the process. First baseman Mike Bergbauer proved to be the clutch hitter of the day as his bat drove in three runs. Tom Page and Marty Pobutkiewicz contributed to the offensive attack as each stroked the ball for a triple . Ursinus College fell prey to the Colonel diamondmen when they received an 8-1 setback at the Collegeville campus. Pitcher Gene Camoni helped his own cause with a three-run homer in the third inning. Camoni struckout nine opponents enroute to his third straight victory without a defeat. Senior captain Ted Yeager chipped in with a solo homerun shot in the fifth frame. Mike Bergbauer At Council Rock High School, Mike was roted to the Lower Bucks County second team as · a centerfielder and in soccer, was selected as the All-Bucks Mont goalie - which may be one reason why nothing ever gets past him at first base , or at the plate. At Wilkes,. Mike has lettered in soccer, made the All-MAC second team last year and looks like a sure bet for similar honors this season.

This famous line from "Inherit the Wind" was heard by many theatre-goers as the play was presented at the Center for the Performing Arts last Thursday through Saturday. The cast was applauded each night by large and receptive audiences. The show was undoubtedly another of the Wilkes College Theater's successes. The play, based on the famous Scopes Trial , deals with the trial of Bertram Cates, portrayed by Bob Leach , a school teacher, and whether or not Rachel Brown, Cates' fellow portrayed by Harry Swepston, · he has broken the state law by teacher and girlfriend, was William Louden and John Marion. teaching evolution to his eighth portrayed by Ruthanne Jones, as Townspeople, Jurors and grade class.

To fulfill the purpose of a successful Orientation Program, mterested upperclassmen are a necessity by serving as staff members. Those persons desiring to take part in this program may do so by attending a meeting today at 11 a.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts . Those unable to attend the meeting at this designated time may contact either Marcia Minkoff or Estelle Novzen. With "Inherit the Wind ," Wilkes College has fallen short. The performance last Thursday night was carried off only by Matt Hughes as Matthew Brady and Mike Gallagher as Henry Drummond . Mr. Al Groh expressed concern over whether people would understand the position of Matthew Brady, the fundamentalist. No one, after putting themselves in the shoes of the townspeople, can deny the validity of Brady's statements in reference to God's work. Matt Hughes put the audience there. He made them believe that God could put J ohah in the belly of a whale and could stop the sun without hurting the earth.

Koepke, 59, night receptionist in the New Men's Dorm, was pronounced dead on arrival at Mercy Hospital, Thursday, April 27, after being stricken ill at his home in Hanover Towpship. A native of Nanticoke, Mr. Koepke was born April 26 , 1913. A veteran of two wars, he served with the Navy in World War 2 and the Korean War. A former sales representative for Jewell Tea Company , he was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church. Mr. Koepke had been employed by the college as a receptionist for the past year and a half. �May 4 , 1972 I. . _E_x_ch_a_n_g_.i_ng_v__i·e_w_s__ THE BEACON l Gary Horning With fin al examinations only a week away , the question of their merit again arises. Are final examination s a valid indication of how n:iuch a student has learned during the course of the semester? Let us examme the facts. Wilkes, like most other colleges and universitites across the country , has engaged in administering final exams since its inception . But now a trend is taking• place whereby the concept of mandatory final exams has been altered to that of discretionary finals. By discretionary , I mean the choice is up to the student or professor, or both . Such a system has worked ad mirably . Finals h ave always been a so urce of tension fo r the m ajority of those involved with th em . Be it the students and ulcers, or the teachers and the grading of such exams within a specified period of time , nobody seems to like finals and yet nobody has come up with a solution except one Dr. Charles Reif. Before exploring Dr. Reifs proposal of some weeks ago , I should like to question personally the validity of fmals. lt is my belief that these tests by their very nature give some students an unfair advantage over others through the ability to sit through a three-hour examination period. :i:wo students may enter a room with virtually identical knowledge and ability, yet one might surpass the other through his or her capability of easily enduring the three-hour examination period . Thus there is a somewhat unfair system'of grading and unfortunate as it is, grades are the whole ball game. Dr. Reif proposes an interesting concept known as th e Beta Plan. Here the semester is lengthened by one.week {in Wilkes' case we would have a fifteen week semester) and whatever type of final the instructor deemed necessary for his students would be administered during-the regular class hours of the last week of school. The strength of such a system is apparent. It would give profs much needed leeway in thei r fmals. Some would be cumulative, some based on course and/or class needs . It would also give students a better chance to prepare more thoroughly for individual topics to be covered, and perhaps most importantly it would cut down on three hours in a chair with a lapboard. Consideration of this proposal by our Administration sh ould commence. It would seemingly make the teachers of this institution happier as it would afford them more personal freedom irt preparation for their examinations and students would be happy because they wouldn't have to sit in the gymnasium any longer and secondly they could concentrate more on the problem at hand , i.e. if an English 151 final were to cover Shakespeare one day then students could prepare for only Shakespeare instead of everything covered during the semester. Another noteworthy plus for the system is that students will be trodding familiar ground while taking finals. They will be administered during a regular class week, allowing students to continue with their everyday lifestyles and perhaps afford an element of calmness to their presence. Something should be done about the present system of finals. Whether it be abolition, shortening the duration of them to one or two h ours, amnesty to those with a B average or above, or the Beta Plan, a revision is needed. I believe the Beta Plan would best enable all parties concerned to meet their needs and wants relative to finals as a whole. · Is it really so impossible for such a plan to be instituted by next year? Let's h ope the people in Weckesser Hall think not. SPRING WEEKEND HELD J Spring Weekend on the campus of Wilkes College came to a close as students returned to their regular routine of studying to windup class and their examinations during these last two weeks of school.

Herforth f �Page 4 THE BEACON May 4, 1972 Editorially Speaking Wilk es- 'Action Minus?' Wilkes College has an apathetic student body, right? Wrong. For the last few months a few dedicated students have been working diligently for this weekend's Cherry Blossom Festival. This year's Festival will be the biggest that Wilkes has ever sponsored, and from the looks of the tightly packed schedule of events, it should also be the best. To give credit where credit is due, Mike Mariani and the Cherry Blossom Festival Committee deserve the thanks of the Wilkes student body for the fine job they did in organizing a great weekend for everyone. No matter what interests you have, from a concert to a frisbee contest, you'll find it this weekend. This brings up an interesting point - perhaps our "action minus" campus isn't so action minus after all. There can be things to do, if there are people who want to do them. Fun doesn't have to be as detailed as this week's Cherry Blossom Festival. All it takes is somebody with an idea and a lot of people who are up for a good. time. The coffee hou~ in the Commons, which "everybody" wanted so badly, has an audience each weekend of about 20 to 30 people. Perhaps we really didn't want it so badly. We won't cry the well-worn "Apathy, Apathy," but if you're bored, it just could be that it's your own fault. Commuter Elections Apathy Hits French Club To the editor: In the past three years that I have been a student here at Wilkes, I have often read in the Beacon about the problem of student apathy and I knew that it was present on the Wilkes College campus, but I did not realize to what a great extent until just last week. As President of the French Club, I wanted to organize a trip to Montreal, Canada, for anyone who wished to go . They did not have to be a member of the club or even attend Wilkes. This trip went into the · planning stage in October, and we had more than enough people who wanted to go. The final date was set for April 28, 29 and 30 of 1972. At the beginning of this semester, I began to call people who wanted to accompany us this semester. This was as I had expected, and I had no trouble Elections were held this week for one of tlie newest finding others to take their place. By April 14, all the governing bodies on the Wilkes College Campus - ' the arrangements had been made for Commuter Council. our trip including hotel and bus Time and again the day students have voiced th.e opinion reservations and I called some that they were poorly, if at all, represented on this campus. Now the opportunity for representation has been presented and approved. We wish the Commuter Council the best of luck in its earliest endeavors, but remind the student body that any governing body can only be as good as you choose to make it. Sure, the body can survive, and even attain a ,degree of success, relying on the work of a very few people. It seems that . . . . whenever anything maJor occurs on campus, 1t 1s a result of a . very few individuals who are involved in just about everything. The Commuter Council may turn out to be just another . . . d" .d I campus organization run b ya f ew in 1v1 ua s w h o a Iso devote a great deal of time and effort to the runriing of Wilkes College activities. Their devotion is terrific, but the point is that more people . . . . are needed to take an active interest in the governing and running of our college. For after all, it is OUR college, not his and hers. We urge commuters to take advantage of this opportunity to work for Wilkes as a whole, not just for the commuters. If thi~ were done, there would only be an extended degree of separation between the day and dorm students. Once again , best of luck to the Commuter Council of Wilkes College. BEACON people who were on the list to go but had ,not attended any of the meetings . It was at this time that I discovered that most of the people on the liS t (20 out of 35 ) had suddenly changed their minds about going but had regretfully neglected to let me know . I tried to find replacements for thedse people bd~td t~ no avail. The stu ents Just I n t want to be bothered going on a trip, and the trip had to be cancelled to the disappointment of everyone who still wanted to go. Al so b ecause o f st uden t apa thy, the French Club itself is almost nonexistent. The most we have had at our re_gular meetings is five, the four ofhcers and one other person. Because of this, it is very likely that the French Club of Wilkes College wlll no longer be in existence after this semester. For these reasons I am asking each and every student on the Wilkes campus to recognize the problem of student apathy and help do something about it. Help stop student apathy before it stops us.

NORTHAMPTQN ST. • . ; .! by John Malatras Lacrosse was the name given by French settlers of Canada to the Old Indian game of waggatauing ; because the implement used, the curved netted stick, resembled a bishop's crozier. It is the oldest organized sport in America, and was used by the American and Canadian Indian s as a training measure for war. Gradually the whitemen adopted this unusual and interesting game at around 1840 and it increased in popularity until the United States Interstate Lacrosse association was founded. The modern game is fast and rough, but cannot compare on the latter point with the Indian game . Most of the time 800 to 1,000 Indians would participate in a game. These games were between different tribes and often lasted for several days; broken legs and arms were common and some players were killed. The Indian contestants went into rigorous training for these matches, and the games were considered tests of the players' virility. The , brave who lasted longest in the games were looked upon as more courageous and strong. Today, the roughness of Lacrosse still exists but with more protection and organization the seriousness and number of injuries has been reduced. The lacrosse stick called a "crosse" is made of bent hickory wood . There is a network of leather and "catgut" in the strap of a triangle that serves for catching, cradling, carrying ro throwing the ball. But Lacrosse is still being modernized , and now plastictopped sticks are gradually replacing the hickory wood sticks. Plastic sticks for one thing, do (lOt break as easily when a player "poke sticks" or " slapsticks" another player. Anoth-er thing is that plastic sticks are more balanced than wood sticks for cradling, skooping, and catching. The ball use d by the Indians was made of deerskin, stuffed hard with hair. Today the ball is a highly compressed rubber , which on occasion takes odd bounces that may be advantageous in scoring a goal. The object of Lacro sse is to score a goal by using various plays that involve the four types of positions played. The midfielders usually bring the ball down on a "clear" from their defensive side of the field. They can either set up, run a play, or pass it to the attackmen on their team, who specialize in scoring. The attac~men can use the midfielders in plays. They are caused by defe nsemen who specialize in keeping the ball away from the goal and getting it (Continued on Paf(e 8) Cards and Gifts for All Occasions 1) DEEM ER'S Student Accounts Available 251 W't'_OMING A'tE. 1 KINGSTO~ - 6 WES!

If the defensemen or the defensive midfielders fail to keep their man from shoQting , then it is the job of the goalie, wearing a chest protector, a wider stick, and a helmet (as do the other players) to stop the ball with his stick or body . Both teams have midfielders, defensemen, attackmen, and a goalie. The game is divided into four 15- minute periods with time-outs, substitutions and a half-time break. Whole midfield changes of three men, out of the IO men playing on the field at one time for one team, are common. The game's popularity is reaching a new high . . Many high schools have taken up the game, and the players continue to play it through college . Wilkes College today has been getting good crowds at recent games, and is curre ntly undefeated at 6-0.
