Jt SUIIU Jo 111-t by Marietta Bednar Nyumba Ya Ujamaa, Orange Street, and a $50 million Gateway complex - add them all together and you come up with one of the most controversial ci ties in the East - Newark . It has often been remarked that journalists manage to find the most unusual points in any area, and all it took to convin ce me was a trip to a regional conference of Sigma Delta Chi, the professional Journalism Society , held in Newark, New Jersey. Two weeks ago, Pat Moran and I had the opportunity to attend what would seem like the most usual of conferences in Newark, and what finally ended up to be one of the most unusually informative. Arriving by bus, late Friday afternoon, we eventually discovered that the bus station was only three blocks from the Gateway Motor Inn , where the conference was being held. I stress the point eventually, because the people in Newark aren't exactly the friendliest people to encounter; in fact they will give you as little time as possible. The rest of the evening was pretty normal , with the exception of dinner, during which we managed to find the one waiter in the entire place who was out to impress the management. You've got to admit that it is highly unusual for a waiter to speak perfect English one minute , enter the kitchen, and suddenly assume a French accent. · For someone who has never experienced the atmosphere of a Sigma Delta Chi meeting, it's hard to capture the entire feeling ; there is so much that depends on the individuals present. But to sum it up, the professionals go out of their way to introduce themselves to the students and to give any assistance that might be possible. Saturday was, admittedly, one of the most exhaustedly productive days we had spent in a long .time. If nothing else, it was controversial! A group of male and female journalists talked abo'u t "Male Chauvinsim - In Print and On The Air." Believe it or not, some of the most vocal supporte rs of the women's lib movement, particularly in the area of job opportunities in the mass media, were the males. One panelist labeled the mass media field as an "industry of ideas." He went on to state that anyone who can't adhere to these ideals is in the wrong business. A general consensus of the panel was that the position of women in our society is looked upon as inferior. This is , in part, due to a woman's presentation in the media. She is generally looked down upon , primarily in the "women's pages," where the articles are geared to cooking and trite fillers . This gives the general impression that the woman is not capable of more profound thinking or ability. The panel was followed by a luncheon, to be hosted by Newark's mayor Kenneth A. Gibson .

It seems I h ad barely out-reached puberty when I went to bed a swinging single and awakened the next morning a co nfirmed bachelor. I noticed the fi rst symptom when I went back to my hometown for a visit. My Mother and I were out shopping -for a bun warmer when we ran into a neighbor lady friend who 's known me all my life . "Ceil ," the blonde lady hollered to my Mother across appliances. "Is this little Rickie'!' "Rick, yo u know Mrs. Plumb , don 't you'!' "Of course , I'd know him anywhere ," she cackled and continued , as if I weren't there. "Tell me, how is the boy'!' "As well as can be expected." "Is he healthy and productive'!' "Considering," my Mother said. "How proud you and Morrie must be. Tell me, is the boy still single'!' "Yes, Edith." Mrs. Plumb placed her ·chubby hand on my Mother's Timex. "He 'll make a lovely catch for some lucky girl like my niece, Estelle. He's so articulate . Listen , the next time he's in town , I'd love to see him . Have him give me a call and maybe we can arrange something with Estelle .. ." I was at the supermarket recently when I bumped carts in Produce with Mrs . Stacker, the mother of Marjorie , a girl I went to high school with . "Well , well, well ," Mrs. Stacker said. "I read in the paper that you're still single." "I didn't know they printed things like that in the paper." "Well , I didn't see your name in either the Married or Divorced lists, so if you ' re none of those - you're still single." She beamed. " Yes, I am. " "A regular Sherlock Holmes, are n't !?You know what did you say yo ur name was? - _my single d aughte r Marjorie is also single. Still. " " Yes, I know . I read it in the paper. " She grabbed my celery and continued. " Well, do n't think she co uldn't have been a married lad y a hundred times over and then some. And I know what you're thinking - that it's because of Grandma Stacker's antique and heavily insured brooch." "No t true. So consider yourself lucky ." "Lucky'!' "That she's saving herself fo r you." " I didn't know she was. " "She doesn ' t either. But the lady who does my feet , who also dabbles in tea leaves, told me that she saw Marjorie's star ascending over your Toyota . Which reminds me," she said, fumbling around in her purse, "did I ever show you the professional photos we had taken of Marjorie after we had her nose fixed . . '!

HELD AT CPA More than 500 students from high schools and colleges in a nine-county Northeastern Pennsylvania region turned out during the week for a day-long 11th Annual Yearbook Seminar at the Wilkes C~llege Center for the -Performing Arts. The conference, which received professional guidance from the Taylor Publishing Company of_Dallas, T~xas, provided the students and many of their faculty advisers with direction in planning, copy preparation, deadlmes, merchandising and business management. . . Among the participants were , left to right, E.J. Howanitz, adviser; Mary Beth Donachie and Raelene D~mg, all of the Dallas (Back Mountain) Area; Richard Locke, adviser; Stephen Gan~ki and Jane Hare_nza, Nanh~oke Area ; Janie Seesholtz, Janet Sirak and William Hottenstein, adviser, Meyers High School; Debbie Grace, Sister Alfreda Marie adviser; and Ann Connors, all of Bishop Hafey High School in Hazleton. The visito;s were welcomed to the campus by Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini, who expre~sed pl~as~r_e over having them as guests. He said he hoped that many would take a close look at the college durmg their VISlt and examine the educational facilities with an eye toward applying for admission when they have completed their high school work. . The regional coordinators were Matt Lynott and Paul J. Olsen of the Wilkes-Barre area. �Page 6 April 27, 1972 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Commuters' Choice The newly formed Commuter Council received considerable attention during the initial weeks of its formation, and sjnce then it has received very little publicity. Therefore, we would like to remind commuting students that there is a governing body which has been organized specifically to meet their needs. The council, which will be run similarly to Student Government, is under the advisorship of financial aid director Richard Raspen. The freshmen, sophomore and junior classes have held nominations for representatives to the governing body, and elections will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Following elections, Juesday evening will see the first organizational meeting of the council, and election of the executive council and officers wiJI be held on May 9. Many commuting students have voiced their concern over the lack of representation that day students receive at the college, and the Commuter Council has been established to alleviate that problem. However, the problem will still exist unless day students decide they really want a change. To have a governing body which is supposed to represent day student interests is not enough. Unless direction and initiative, is supplied by the students themselves, the council will be relatively useless. Ob viously, the first step in showing concern and interest is to vote on Tuesday or Wednesday . When representatives are elected , they are there to represent you, the commuting student. Let them know how you feel and what you would like to see done. The governing body is there. Whether it is effective or not remains to be seen. It's up to the commuters. . . NOTICE WCLH, the Wilkes College radio station , will be doing a series of special programs for Cherry Blossom Weekend. Similar to the live show that was done during the Walk for Bangladesh, the two shows that will be aired on Saturday and Sunday will include folk , rock and intermediate music as well as reports on the raft regatta. Tune in ... 90.7 FM ... for some great listening eatertairrient during the festival weekend , and support your radio station . Tune On, Tune In Turn on, tune in, and support Wilkes College's own campus radio station - WCLH, located at 90.7 on your FM dial. Since Sunday, February 6, when the station first went on the air, a great deal of progress has been made, from working out the bugs in new equfpment to implementing on the spot reporting for the college campus. Yet relatively _few people on the Wilkes Campus realize that the station exists and an even smaller number of these people listen on a regular basis. Wilkes is even in competition with King's as to numbers of listeners on campus. A fact that few people bother to consider is that WCLH covers a radius of 150 miles, while the King's station is limited to the city. A major gripe voiced by students at the beginning of broadcasting was that not enough rock would be played on the air during prime time. Since that time, a number of improvements have been made. The staff of WCLH-FM is composed almost entirely of students, many of whom will be '-going on to prepare for careers in the area of mass communications. Their experience, which woulp normally be gathered through classroom instruction, is gained by actual working. Student interest and involvement on the working side has been outstanding. Many of the individuals currently working on the radio station have discovered that it takes a lot more than just a desire to be on the radio to produce a working, accurately timed program. It takes up to 10 hours of preparation to produce just one hour of programming. What the station needs now is the support of the entire Wilkes College Family to make it a truly successful venture. , NOTICE On Thursday, May 11, 1972, an Awards Luncheon will be held in the C.P.A. Lounge beginning at 11 :30 a.m . After the luncheon, awards will be given out. If your department or organization wishes to give out an award , please contact Dean Moss .

Sign-In Duty Elicits Gripe To the editor : I feel that the current situation in the women's dormitories concerning visitation is in immediate need of reform. The procedure of "guard duty" is a burden to all members of the living unit and has no redeeming value whatsoever. The door is locked and no strangers can enter unadmitted (unless of course it is by some other method of entrance, which is unavoidable and in no way connected with visitation privileges). I would like to relate a personal experience concerning this camping out ritual that takes place in the women's dormitories. Senator George McGovern recently spoke in Wilkes-Barre, and I was forced to leave after hearing five minutes of his speech because I was assigned lounge duty at that time. l tried to get someone to fill in for me, but who's going to be around between 9:30 and 12 on a Friday night if they don 't have to be! The purpose of my writing is to call attention to the fact that this procedure is preventing many of us from doing more important and educational things than sitting in a dorm lounge for two and a half hours. Who is going to argue that a presidential election is more important than babysitting for 20-year-old men and women? I do not feel that my case should be taken individually but as representative of the many times women are deprived of concerts, \M. lectures and movies because of this discriminating , juvenile rule set 1· by the college administration. · Name withheld on requ Reif Outlines Earth Dilemma To the editor: Earth Day of April in 1970 an · Walk For Bangladesh of April I 9r produced a flurry of activity on the part of a few concerned students. Such participation by students is to be commended because the primary purpose of Wilkes College is to prepare informed and concerned citizens. Paradoxically, Earth Day and Walk For Bangladesh focu~ attention on a dilemma whicl· mankind must face because , fro . an ecological point of view, Earth Day and Walk For Bangladesh are diametrically opposed. The ecological crisis of planet Earth in 1972 is due to the selfishness of the human species and the failure o,' man to practice brotherhood. Walk For Bangladesh is ecologically unsound. To send food to Bangladesh will at the be merely postpone the famine which is inevitable and at its worst will .enable the population to increase so that when the famine does come the death total will be higher.

Before I say anything, I wish to express a deep anger and resentment with Mary Covine and the editorship of the Beacon for their response to Susan's letter. I, for one, do not desire Miss Covine ·or anyone else defending the Council's actions or discrediting someone who attacks the Council. Through personal experience let me say that it is pretty upsetting to write a letter to the Beacon, only to find a two or three column "viewpoint" in the same issue attacking your comments. Miss Covine, if a defense is required , let those attacked assume the responsibility. (I fully expect and await an editorial comment on this point.) Now to Miss Kelly's vitriolic criticism. First and foremost "trial" and "crime" are two words fabricated by Miss Kelly to feed the appeal of her fiery rhetoric. On no written summons or record will either of these words be found. As for the question of the Council's jurisdiction, Mi~ Kelly need look no further than page 17 in the · Student Handbook and spend time reading the five points under Article IV, Jurisdiction. The reason the hearing was "two long weeks" after the violation was due to the fact that it occurred right before the Easter break. Since there are certain time lags involved in notification, and allotment of time for the summoned individual's response, and schedules to be balanced, etc.; the earliest time available was two weeks later. If you, Miss Kelly, felt a cold and informal atmosphere, may I suggest that your own feelings of anxiety and anticipation may have projected this non-existant atmosphere to the Council. Miss Kelly was asked to leave because deljberation on the part of the Council often involves the citing of past offenses and punishments as reference points. If the Council's integrity is to be maintained, these other cases cannot and should not be discussed before the present offender. As for Miss Kelly's suggestions , let me say that the first is impossible. As explained before, time is not the only issue in having a case scheduled. Time, due proce~, schedules to be balanced, etc. make a four day maximum unrealistic. Point number three, as pointed out previ~usly, is amusing in the least. Let me just add to what I already have said about the cold and formal atmosphere of.the Board Room that in general the room is convenient, spacious, centrally located, easily found ar , comfortable. Nothwithstanding the above, some ,)f Miss Kell y' points have been shared by this author for man: months. (A) Rules should be listed more clearly, the present guidelines should be changed or abolished . Punishments should accompany each rule in the case of a violation thereof. But the degree of punishment must vary in accord with the degree of violation, "because circumstances from case to case may vary greatly ." (B) Students who have conceded guilt and a willingness to · abide by the decision of the Council, should be allowed not to appear before the Council unless they wish to be there. (C) There is no excuse for the embarrassment and guilt feelings given to the student who is forced to answer the repetitive, inane and prying questions of some of the Council members. I agree with Miss Moran when she states that the Council should be more than just a punitive body. I have felt that we have acted as little more than a rubber stamp of judgement on students who have come to us confessing guilt and repentance. What the Council needs is power and jurisdiction over a greater part of the college life. Not unlike the judicial branch of the government we should have the power and responsibility of testing the validity of many of the rules and guidelines the student are forced to follow. Our actions and suggestions should bear heavy weight to those individuals and bodies responsible for rules and regulations. I also lean toward Miss Kelly's point concerning student membership. I don 't feel an all student body would fit into my conception of what the Judicial Council should be , but I will ,Jgree that if the Council were to remain as is, without any changes, then only students should be members. There are other changes required, bu~ I've taken_t~o much time and space already. Let me JUSt say this m conclusion. The Council is still in its probationary stage. I feel it has failed in its objective . It's weak points are outstanding and demand immediate c~ange. These changes should and must be enacted without delay . And if those w~o- are in the position ~o make t~e changes are unw1lhng to do so, then I will be first, m line clamoring for its destruction. Sincerely yours, Al Pellegrini Clerk of Courts Viewpoint FEMINIST COALITION SPEAKS by A. M. Pauley It seems that Wilkes College has put the "liberal" back into "liberal arts" with this year's choice of speakers for the Concert and Lecture Series. Early in the year, Julian Bond· represented our black - that is, conservative black - brothers' way of thinking, and last Tuesday Claudia Dreifus, a liberal Jewish exponent of women's rights, delivered her address, "Liberation Now: What Are Militant Women Fighting For?" Ms. Dreifus, journalist and author of . the'-. book Radical Life Styles, focused primarily on the economic and legal aspects of inequality. She defined sexism as "The system by which 49 per cent of the population controls the other 51 per cent," removing .from the latter all sense of individualism and humanity : The lecturer pointed o·ut that at all educational levels, women make less than half the salary of men, and added pessimistically that the 'gap between women's and men's incomes is getting worse. In reference to inequality under legislature, the New York journalist noted, "We may have the laws, but they have no teeth in them." Commenting on the recent controversy at Wilkes over the failure to give tenure and equal pay to women faculty members, Ms. Dreifus said that court cases are at least "good for embarrassing the school." Ms. Dreifus feels that the present laws render marriage "contractual prostitution at an extremely low rate." By law, a woman must provide consortium and domicile, paraphrased by the speaker as "putting out and cleaning up," while the man must be the financial supporter of his family . In her own experiences as Mrs. Sidney Weinheimer, the women's rights advocate found that she was unable to have any personal loans, contracts, or charge accounts without her husband's permission, for women are not responsible for their own debts. . A sadly humorous note in the presentation came when Ms. Dreifus quoted the "women's section" of one state's Penal Code, which gives up to a three-year sentence for any of the following: 1) a~ociating with vicious persons, 2) willfully disobeying parents or guardians, 3) being in danger of being morally depraved and 4) being found in reputed house of prostitution. The horrifying fact about these laws, she added, is that they are still being enforced, for instance in a case where parents "put away" their daughter who embraces a different life style. Jab bing Hugh Heffner and Dayid Susskind, pseudo-supporters who say that they are for women's liberation but the movement has no pro~am of reforms, she said, "We've had a program since the beginning, but nobody bothered to look." Her list of necessary changes included : an end to the "tracking system" in high school, where females are pressured into clerical and nursing professions and men are pushed into their respectively traditional professions; an end to quotas for women in graduate schools; locally controlled free 24-hour child care centers; a national network of abortion clinics with services available to any woman upon request; decent research on birth control; and an end to the sexual double standard ·and to sex-role typing in the educational system. · Ms. Dreifus warned the women that, "The Revolution is not going to happen tomorrow ." She advised her sisters in the audience to "Begin to feel that we can do anything we want to," and simply refuse to accept any further oppression. More specifically, the journalist recommended setting up consciousness-raising groups where women together can realize that their experiences of inability, servitude, despondency, hostility et al are not isolated.

MATHEMATICS CONTEST - The Luzerne County Council of Teachers of Mathematics during the week held its 24th annual mattiematics contest for superior high school students in the gymnasium at Wilkes College with more than 100 juniors and seniors from nearly all the county secondary schools taking part. Among those who played major roles in the supervision of the contest were, left to right: Dr. Bing K. Wong, chairman of the Mathematics Department at Wilkes; Abner Millard, president of the council and head of mathematics at Wyoming Valley West School District; and Prof . Boyd Earl, vice president of the mathematics teachers council. Humph rey , 48; Frank Church, 32; Ted Kenned y, 15 ; Scoop Jackson, 12; and Vance Hartke, 0.

Gravel and Percy , Micheri , Muskie, Kennedy, Wallace, Hughes, Tunney, Church, Himmler , Flood , Kresge, Shapp, J. Bond. Vance Hartke was the winner with 437 votes, while Shirley Chisholm followed with 391 notes. The Vice Presidential candidate was determined by a plurality vote on the first ballot. All in all, the day proved to be quite a political experience . It can well be imagined the "bargaining" that goes on at a real convention, because very much of it went on here, and I'm sure it works even better on a larger scale.

THE SEAI.S IN PENOBSCOT BAY hadn't heard of the atom bomb, so I shouted a warning to them. Our destroyer (on trial run) slid by the rocks where they gamboled and played; they must have misunderstood , or perhaps not one of them heard me over the engines and tides As I watched them over our wake I saw their sleek skins in the sun ripple , light-flecked, on the rock, plunge, bubbling , into the brine , a_nd couple & laugh in the troughs between the waves' whitecaps and froth. Then the males clambered clumsily up and lustily crowed like seacocks, sure that their prowess held thrall all the sharks, other seals, and seagulls. And daintily flipped the females, seawenches with musical tails; each looked at the Atlantic as though it were her looking - glass. If my warning had ever been heard it was sound none would now ever heed . And I, while I watched those far seals tasted honey that buzzed in my ears and saw, out to windward, the sails of an obsolete ship with banked oars that swept like two combs through the spray And I wished for a vacuum of wax to ward away all those strange sounds, yet I envied the sweet agony of him who was tied to the mast , when the boom, when the boom, then the boom of guns pun ched dark holes in the sky.

"It's another way of saying 'You women can't be trusted,' " and for the initiation of courses concerning the female's role in society. The movement is not only a liberation of women, but also one of men. For that 49 per cent, women's equality will alleviate the pressure of being the sole supporter of the family, it will allow fathers to partake in the joys of child-rearing, (t will release them from the rigors of the John Wayne-type competitive struggle, and, finally, will free them to cry. Although Ms. D reifus' presentation may have offended even members of the women's movement (with her assuming that "guys," to us.:: her oft-repeated word, are less compassionate and sensitive members of the human race), the lecture was an essential "first" for Wilkes College. It is an admission that women are""!ndeed being molded by a society dominated by white males and that something must be done to eradicate· this and all instances of 1injustice, in society, yes, but first in the so-called "ideal community" of the college campus. ••• The Women's Liberation Movement has really hit Wilkes.

But on April 11, we have our first games with the Bearcats taking Colonels 16-6 and Webster trouncing Gore 19-2, another winner was the Merry Pranksters by the forfeit route.

Now we have our first rain date and April 13 was one of Stel's totally washed-out dates." "Moving on to the remainder of that week we have Brown's Deli, Gere, and Colonels taking victories from Bruch again and Grissom. The Stumpers and Dirksen took forfeit decisions." "On April 18 and 19, Stellar, the league really got moving with the Bearcats taking their second from the RBI'S 19-9.

Red Cross, with the cooperation of Reach-Out, sponsors a blood collection drive twice a year. The purpose of such a drive is to provide a "ba nk" so that any member of the Wilkes College family who is in need of blood may draw upon the bank. In short, while at Wilkes, any student, faculty member, administrator, or maintenance staff member is entitled to all the blood he needs in an emergency or because of an illness or operation. Besides benefitting himself, the blood donor also provides a bank for his family. The family members will receive one pint of blood for every pin~ the donor has given whenever it is needed. Even after an individual leaves the college the blood he had donated is there in case he or any member of his family should need it. One other important benefit of giving blood is that the , person's blood is typed and cross-matched. Blood donating isn't the ~rst experience in the world, and it may save many lives. Give of yourself and you will literally receive more in return. Roll up your sleeve and give a pint of blood at the gym today.

"Campus News in Review" can be heard on WCLH , 90.7 on the FM dial, each Friday evening at 9 :30. As one might guess, the program is basically a review of campus events that have occurred during the week, plus interviews with personalities involved with some stories that are of interest to both college and community. Anchorman Dave Bickel told us the show .was formed in the image of network newscasts, with student journalists themselves con tributing stories on the air. Regular reporters on the program are Marietta Bednar, Gary Horning, . JoAnn Gomer and Larry Wallison. Bickel said the format revolves mostly around campus interests, such as visitation, student government elections, etc., but also includes items that affect the community at large, like the new medical studies program. At this writing, guests have included: Richard Raspen, Wilkes College Financial Aid Officer; Dean Jane Lampe; Bernard Vinavrski ~f the Evening School; Dr. Yasushi Sugiyama of the Political Science Department; Harry Bielecki and Mike Mariani; and Andrew Shaw, Director of the Institute of Regional Affairs. Reporters Bednar, Horning and Gomer are veteran Beacon staff members who make up a panel of student journalists that interviews guests on their respective areas of interest or responsibility. Though no strangers to writing, the reporters indicated that radio work has added a new dimension to their experience. JoAnn Gomer said, "Radio work shows how much you don't know. While you must work under deadlines when writing for newspapers, in radio there is the added pressure of reading your story in such a way that it gets across." Faculty advisor to "Campus News in Review," Public Relations Director Thomas J. Moran, added that this experience is most valuable to all participants , whether they plan to enter the communications field as a career or not. Getting over " mike fright" builds poise and confidence in an individual ; such a person is at ease with himself and o thers, which is an asset in any profession or job.

Come September, Linda Kandel, a senior music major from Jenkintown is scheduled to enter the Hebrew Union School of Sacred Music in New York City thus beginning her quest to become the third female cantor in American Jewish history. History of the cantor goes back to Egyptian times when a precantor, who performed both rabbi and cantorial duties, evolved. The modern day cantor is generally charged with leading the vocal parts of a service as well as educating boys and girls for Bar Mitzvah at age 13. Although receiving plenty of flack from her break with ancient Hebrew tradition, Linda is very sincere about her intentions. "It's not a case of liberation or the pioneering aspect," she said. "I want to sing and serve God. My life just wouldn't be complete without it." One staunch supporter in her corner is Rabbi Arnould M. Shevlin, religious leader of the reformed B'nai B'rith congregation in Kingston. "There is no reason why women cannot assume the role of a cantor in public life," he stated. "I strongly believe in equality and the opportunity for any female to assume greater roles in the Synagogue." The association between Miss Kandel and the very liberal-minded Rabbi has grown out of a long-standing family friendship. Rabbi Shevlin is a former classmate of Linda's father, Lawrence, at Temple University. The ties between the Kandel family and the Kingston religious leader were further strengthened when the _ latter served the, Rod Eph Schalom congregation in Philadelphia. Rod Eph Schalom, the largest reformed congregation in Pennsylvania, was organized in 1789. Rabbi Shevlin served as an associate there for many years.

Shevlin, religious leader of the reformed B'nai B'rith congregation in Kingston. It was the same congregation which stood. firmly behind her when she made application to the Hebrew Union School in September. "At first they were mistaking me for a male," she related. "A return envelope address had me labeled as 'Mr."' The confusion was soon cleared and the real fight began. "They took a long time to accept me," Linda noted . "The board of admissions even had me give a voice audition in the presence of the entire I I-male freshman class." After two months of deliberation and arm twisting on her behalf, the spirited brunette · received notice of her acceptance in December. Although winning the battle of equality the toughest grind of her campaign lies ahead in the coming years. The road to becoming an ordained cantor takes five years of daily 9 to 5 p.m . practical aid classroom preparation to complete the required study. After the first year, the student is placed in a Synagogue where any spare time is devoted to the needs of the congregation. Wilkes has played a major role towards realization of her goals to God. "I was a lost person before the music department at the college helped me find myself," she contessed. Linda's music career began at age six and she grew up with. the piano. "After high school a close friend of the family suggested the college and its fine music education curriculum. One visit and I was sold," Linda said. Her introduction to the vocal. side of things didn 't come about till her freshman year at Wilkes. "I was trying out for a musical and I was completely caught off guard when Professor Richard Chapfo1e asked me to drop out of the show and concentrate on voice training," she remembered. Also close to her development in recent years have been Music Department Chairman William Gasbarro and vocal instructor Richard Probert. �THE BEACON Page 4 sG Off ice rs Are Elected April 20, 1972 Exchanging Views Student Government, under the new leadership of Mike Barski, filled the remaining positions of its staff last by Gary Homing Thursday. . __ .

The expressed purpose of producing a concert_is to provid~ e~joyment for those in attendance. The Byrds concert provided the maJonty of the :~~e;::~ti:::dw~:.little enjoyment and some with outright contempt ; The question is: have we learned a lesson? In talking with Dean Moss last semester I discovered that in the future , the college would seek a facility isolated enough to eliminate the harassment of unwanted intruders and yet intimate enough to provide our students with an evening's enjoyment. Pardon my shortsightedness, but that establishment does not exist in the Wyoming Valley . The POCO concert will be held in the Kingston Armory. A fine facility for storing tanks, boat shows and tape measure home runs, the armory is unfortunately not so fine a place to witness a concert. Trite as it is, the Wilkes College student body will be witnessing a dynamite group performing in an arena which as far as concerts are concerned, could use a little dynamite of its own. I hope POCO makes a liar out of me but my guess is ~hat this group will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors Canned Heat , Blood, Sweat and Tears, Jefferson Airplane and others who would, less their hard cash, prefer to forget the Armory. In most instances, the witnesses of these efforts would prefer to forget them, too! The Armory has acoustics not so unlike those of an echo chamber. Depending upon where one sits, the music itself can be heard on the second or third bounce off the distant walls - if you're lucky . My point is, unless the college can arrange a deal with the Paramount Theater for two shows in an evening (the theater seats 2048 people), are these concerts worth the l O thousand dollars and more we spend on them? The Paramount presents an interesting potential solution. It is definitely a comfortable facility with its air conditioning, padded chairs and a view of the stage from every seat in the house. It is somewhat isolated in that only the front door serves as an entrance (guards could be · stationed at the few exits on the ground floor) and thus intruders could be foiled in their attempt to gain a piece of the action. Its acoustics w.ould also provide a group with the opportunity to "make music." In the Kingston Armory noise is the word , not music. The problem, however , lies in its limited seating capacity and here is where the bargaining becomes a critical factor. Groups have become greedy and don't seem overly anxious to provide people with more than what they've paid for. Two concerts in one evening isn't the idea of a paradise for any group but money talks. With a guaranteed sum of money from the Wilkes Student Government account to pay for our share of the evening, the college could search for a promoter to put uo the money for (Continued on Page 9) Spencer Elected \ The Manuscript Society recently held elections for editors of the organization fo r the 1972-1973 school year.

Let's hope that the students of Wilkes College are up to the evening because if we've ever been treated to a concert that's a genuine knockout , this should be it. I have never had the opportunity to hear the group in person and, therefore , do not feel qualified to comment ori its concert performance .

Wilkes Theater Presents Inherit th ' by Janice Ya"ish "'Inherit the Wind' is not a history. The events which took place in Dayton, Tennessee, during the scorching July of 1925 are clearly the genesis of this play. It has however, an exodus entirely its own. 'Inherit the Wind' does not pretend io be journalism. It is theatre. It is not 1925. The stage directions set the time as "Not too long ago." It might have been yesterday. It could be tomorrow. " Jerome Lawrence Robert E. Lee "Inherit the Wind" was first published in 1955, some 30 years after the famous Scopes Trial, or "Monkey Trial," as it is sometimes referred to. It has been called the greatest courtroom drama of the century, and is one of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation. The Scopes Trial commenced on July I 0, 1925, at Dayton, Tennessee and lasted 11 days. The trial derives its name from the defendant and chief participant, John Thomas Scopes. Scopes, a teacher of science in Rhea High School, Dayton, was arrested on a charge of violating the Tennessee state law prohibiting the teaching in public schools of any theories that deny the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible. Scopes, a biologist, had been teaching evolution. The trial centers on two issues. The immediate issue questioned whether the defendant had violated the state Jaw as to what should be taught in the public schools, but a wider issue was as to the extent to which the state , in its control of public education, may determine the nature of religious instruction given to the students in school. The trial itself was the culmination of a controversy that had been going on for years. William Jennings Bryan , a firm believer in the literal interpretation of the Bible, went to Dayton to assist the prosecution . Clarence Darrow and Dudley Field Malone were counsels for the defense. The outcome was that on July 21 Scopes was found guilty and fined $ I 00, but the penalty was set aside by the state supreme court on a technicality , without any expression of opinion as to the constitutionality of the law. Bryan had been prevented , through the tactics of Darrow , from delivering the elaborate speech which he had prepared in refutatio n of Darwin's theories. Five days after the conclusion of the trial , Bryan died. ''Inherit the Wind " draws many parallels to the Scopes Trial. The play revo lves around the trial of a school teacher, Bertram Cates, and whether or not he has broken the state law by teaching evo lution to his eighth grade class. Cates is placed under arrest and thrown into jail. Two of the most very famous lawyers at that time enter the case. Matthew Harrison Brady becomes the prosecuting attorney while Henry Drumm ond accepts the position of defen se atto rney . The trial ge ts underway and the battle begins. Both Brady and Drummond , two of America's greatest orators, roar at each other day after day in the torrid heat of the courtroom. They battle with weighty arguments and tre mendous speeches. In the end Cates is found guilty and fined $100. There is no other real penalty. Drumm ond star ts proceedings for an appeal and Brady dies. Cates' fine is paid by one �THE BEACON April 20, 1972 Page 7 J.ord 1?,ocle s~and~'!:f:u t1t Spo~/,J, I The local rock scene is a jungle of talent. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors.

Rather Jecause the politicians in the town are fearful the people will laugh the law out of existence, and reelection is just around the corner. Talking to Mr. Alfred Groh about the progress of the play here at Wilkes he said the only difficulties he's having is in locating a tame monkey . Although he has had some leads, Groh said finding a monkey is mqre of a problem than he had thought. The Nay Aug Park Zoo used to loan out its monkeys, but there has been a change in policy over the years. Monkeys are more common in the valley than it is thought , but the problem is finding one that will work safely ( one that won't bite) with the students. That is the main problem right now with production . Other than that he is happy with the way things are going. He noted that t~e production is still relevant to things happening today. Its timely -,lication brings to mind the question , "Can any ideas be discussed Jy in a classroom today?" Groh feels the play has far greater · plications than just evolution.

Prohibition, which had become effective nationally under the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919, gave rise to the spirited "Speakeasy" and guzzling bathtub gin from teacups. The speakeasy bred a new kind of society of gangsters, easily discerned by their wide-lapeled , double-breasted, pinstripe suits, and , of course, the classic red carnation. Corruption in government and public institutions rose as "gangsterism" gained control. Women's Lib would be proud of its I 920's counterpart, who ; by the Nineteenth Amendment, gained greater social freedom with the right to vote. The Roaring Twenties took a step forward in communications with the first trans-Atlantic flights and nearly the whole world stood up· and cheered as Lindbergh made his first solo flight to Paris from New York in 1927. On the g_!"ound, the surrey was replaced with the horseless buggy and Henry Ford's Model T rumbled down every Main Street. The middle class began to thrive as many Americans were beginning to feel the benefits of a thriving economy under the leadership of Photograph by Ruthanne Jones Calvin Coolidge.

"What comes to your mind ,when you think about your mother?" "Channe!S." "Did your mother spend much time with you?" "Half an hour a day, five times a week. Including re-runs."

"Upon arriving at the bottom of the hill , the rather stout ice man, in his worn leather apron, would step from his seat, run to the rear of the cart , prong a 25-cent chunk and head for the hill. Like the fabled letter carrier, nothing kept him from his duty . "However, in the summertime he was destined to lose. His daily routine remained the same. I could see him head for our house on the top of the hill, but when he arrived there , his 25-cent chunk was only worth a dime." Like the melted ice , the life-style of the Roaring Twenties is unfreezing and coming to life. Nostalgia has taken over and, with the same strength and fortitude of the ice man, we will be able to bear the times and make these years fun , happy, and progressive times like those of the twenties. .I,~ ANOTHER ,· _· **I * * : :** #** I ** ** . . • COLLEGE, GRAD OR A . JR.·. EX !iC IN L. - We used to get lost in space and say Howdy to Doody. We had a father who knew best, had a maid named Hazel and took all of our pediatric problems to the doctor of our choice- Ben Casey or James Kildare. Where are they now? We watched hundreds of mothers- not unlike our own, real or televised - pour out their breaking hearts to all of the DSA on Queen For A Day. We'd comb out with Kooky, thepre-Beatlesex;-symbol with hair. · We'd watch December Bride, the grandmother of us all with lavender hair. And we'd cha cha and rhumba into the hearts of Amerjca right along with Katherine and Arthur Murray's magic steps. We learned to rebel-"Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself." And we did it ourselves. We contemplated life with profoundly meaningful questions like, "Suzie, why did you leave Jimmy's bike in the driveway?" And we didn't need sex education back in the S0's. We had the Mickey Mouse Club Mousketeers, where a whole generation looked on when Annette reached puberty, which is something none of us wilfever forget. · Including Annette. :, Today's generation of children of the tube have it much worse . Imagine some kid who has Archie Bunker as his substitute father. "Hi, dadEly." "Stifle yourself, meathead." · And then there's the prime-time identity crisis. "I just can't get used to Mary Tyler Moore being single after all those years that she was married to Dick Van Dyke," a contemporary said recently. "The chutzpah of Dick Van Dyke to run off to Arizona with Hope Lange and then flaunt it on Saturday nights--only sixty seconds after Mary signs off. I shall never forgive him ." .But my heart still belongs to Lucy. I can't relate in any meaningful way to the new, single, independent Lucy with two grown kids- maybe it's sibling rivalry-bu t I wo uldn't miss the reruns of the old Lucy show fo r a visit home. Eve ryday at 3:15 , I hop downtown to the department store of my choice and tell the salesman that I 'm interested in buying a TV. And for thirty min utes it's back to the womb via a TV set. But I've run into problems. Recently I encountered a kid, my ow n age, waiting in appliances for Donna Reed to begin-- at the same time Lucy was to begin. " I want to watch Donna Reed," he said . "And I got here first. " "Hey, Hey , " I said. "Let's handle this like mature adults. My Lucy is better than your Donna. Nahh! " "Oh, yeah? Well at least Donna never got divorced. " "No. Just cancelled." He pulled the plug out of the TV set and ran off. "I'm gonna tell the salesman on you," he jeered. And the salesman came over to mediate and plug the set back in, Some people just can't seem to cut the cord. NOSTALGIA (From Page 7) 1974 COULD I* * * FIND .

Dominent among these women is Claudia Dreifus, who at 26 has emerged as one of the most articulate and impressive writers and spokeswomen from the women's liberation movement and underground newspaper world. She will make her impact on Wyoming Valley on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts .. Miss Dreifus' topic will be "Liberation Now: What Are Militant Women Fighting For?" The goals and philosophy of the women's liberation movement and some of the important issues for which they are fighting are equal job and educational opportunities, free day-care centers, free abortion on demand and a restructuring of marriage and the family. She will answer some of the questions which people are asking, such as, "Shouhf marriage be abolished?" "What will society look like if the feJJ1inists actually do win their goals?" and "What do men have to gain from women's liberation?" Born in New York City, Miss Dreifus has a bachelor of science degree from New York University. A leading and active member of Media Women, she is a prolific writer whose works on feminism and related subjects have appeared in "McCall's," "Ladies Home Journaf," "Evergreen Review," "Rolling Stone," "Nation," "Realist" and "Social Policy." . Vol. XXIV, No. 23 Her book on women's liberation and the alternate culture, " Radical Lifestyles," was released in November of 1971 by Lancer. A second book, "Consciousness Raising," is now in preparation. In addition to her contribution to the overground media, Miss Dreifus is one of the best-known "underground" journalists in America. Until last year she served as the news editor of the "East Village Other," the nation's oldest an d largest underground newspaper, where she wrote a weekly political column. In addition to her writing credits , Claudia Dreifus has also produced public affairs broadcasts for WBAI, New York's pioneering listener sponsored radio station, and as WBAI's correspondent in Northern Ireland she reported on the fighting between Catholics and Protestants in that country . As a leading member of Media Women, Miss Dreifus participates in a weekly women's liberation "consciousness raising group," which she describes as "the most humanizing and fruitful experience I've ever encountered." She was one of the leaders of a group of women who invaded the offices of the "Ladies Home Journal" early in 1970 and demanded that the "Journal" put out a magazine that presented women with material more relevant to current times. She and her colleagues in Media Women put together a special section on women's liberation which was printed in the August , 1970 edition of the "Ladies Home Journal."

A $5,860,000 dream of brick and mortar has begun to take shape on the South River Street side of the Wilkes College campus, but it will not be opened for use until a much-needed $2,860,000 is collected. The need for the New Learning Center has grown increasingly since 1968 when a December fire destroyed Conyngham Hall and forced the college to operate with below-minimum classroom space . Although special scheduling and the use of outside facilities have provided a temporary solution to the problem, the New Learning Center This first gift was then followed has remained uppermost in the by a $241,000 gift from the planning of college officials.

"Chanticleer," a one-act comic opera with music by Seymour Barab and libretto by M.C. Richards based on Chaucer's "The Nun's Priest's Tale," opened the program.

The Co uncil ·is made up .0f two deans , two faculty members , three students and a co urt cler ,. The only femal e member of the Council is the Dean of Women. There is no female representing the student's viewpoint. To me this lack of a • feminine view immediately biases the Co un cil. The Council is also biased by the fact that there are fo ur non-students and three students on the Council. Because it is studer t~ who are being judged , shouldn' t ti-' Council consist of a majority c, _ their peers? The ideal CouncH would be all students with a facu lty advisor. The members of the Council are chosen by the President of the college . No offense to Dr. Michelini is intended but he is over thirty , and his moral standards and values are bound to color his choices. It would be better if these people were chosen by a group of people. The dean of women, the dean of student affairs, the college president, student government pre·sident, Inter-D0rmitory Council president and the president of the still in formative stages Commuter's Council would make a more just choice than one man could. The Council should be a helph o. body instead of the strictly punit body it is. When it becor, apparent that a regulation is fot. very umeasonable by the studen this being judged by the frequen , of violations, the Council shou · tell the proper people that change is needed . The Council ' s recommendation should be considered heavily - by thr Administration. The Council should consider each case on its own merits .

I broke a rule which on this campus seems to be one of the more serious ones. A male guest was in my bedroom for several hours during the late evening of Friday, March I 7, 1972. The whole case was based on suspicion and assumptions. My male guest was not seen by anyone, including· the procto rs. · · ·Tue next afternoon, Saturday, March 18, after a series of so-called suspicious events, my proctors called me in to talk. They asked me if a male guest was upstairs the night before. Being the honest and fo rthright person that I am, I told the m yes, there had been a male kuest in my room. This is where my first lesson was learned. Honesty does not pay . Thank you Wilkes College tor that valuable lesson. It seems if I had lied I would have saved myself a lot of trouble , as there would have been no case against me.

Although very vague to aiea spo rts enthusiasts, the game is rapidly gaining popularity on the national college scene with over 150 sch ools currently engaged in inte rcollegi ate stick wars. This year will mar k the third season of varsity competition for the Blue and Gold . The Colonels posted 2-3 and 3-6 efforts in their initial trJes. Head mentor Charles "~huck" Mattei is quite optimistic abou t his team's chances this annum. "Our main goal will be reaching . the 500 plateau ," he stated, "Progress has been slow but steady over the past two years. We're starting to attract the athlete with prior high school experience." Lacrosse has created a large impact in the metropolitan areas of Baltimore-Washington , No rthern New Jersey , Philadelphia, Long Island, and New England . Mattei, a Notre Dame product by way of Pittston, would like to see the game added to the local scholastic scene but is openly realistic on the whole matter . "It's going to take a large educational task. People fro m Northeastern Pennsylvania are totally unconscious of all the thrills and excitement connected with the game," he said. · The sport closely resembles hockey and soccer in the fact that the object of the game is to' maneuver the ball into the net. Basket-like raquets or "crosses" are used to advance a solid rubber ball up a field 110 yards long and 60 yards wide . Each team is composed of ten players. There is a distance of 80 yards between the respective goals with 15 yards behind each to set up a scoring play. Stick handling proficiency is the main ingredient toward mastery of the game. For those wishing to learn more about the sport, Mattei and his staff will conduct a free seminar at the college on April 29. Invitations are being sent to all high school athletic · directors in the Luzerne and Lackawanna County area. Others interested may contact Mattei at Wilkes. Wilkes will embark on its challenging ten-game season slate tomorrow afternoon , journeying to Kutztown State College . Fi rs t home test of the year will come against Stevens on Apr. 15 . Other Ralston Field dates listed are Ku tztown, Apr. 26 ; Muhlenberg, • Apr. 29; Gettysburg, May 10; and Lebanon Valley, May 13. The Colonels have road tilts with ~wark State, Apr. 14; Haverford , · Apr. 19 ; Dickinson , Apr. 22; and Western Maryland , May 6 . Prime strength of the Colonel lacrossemen rests in the attack position where veterans Andy Annesi, senior; and Steve Moscone, sophomore ;are joined by new comer Bill Winter. Moscone and Annesi ranked one•two in the scoring column last year, accou nting fo r 16 and 13 points .respectively. In lacrosse, a player gains a point by either scoring or being credited wi th an assist.

The debut of the 1972 Colonel Basepall Team was marred as the squad dropped an 8-4 decision to Delaware Valley College at Doylestown, Pa. Old Man Winter made another appearance, hopefully his last this spring, to force the cancellation of a doubleheader last Saturday with Susquehanna University at Artillery Park. The twin bill has been rescheduled for May 2 at Wilkes . The Blue and Gold jumped off to a 4-2 lead against Delaware Valley only to fa ll victims to their own costly miscues in the later innings. Control problems plagued starter Ted Sokolowski in the third inning and Delaware Valley , capitalizing on the walks along with several errors committed by the Wilkes defense, took the lead an d maintained it throughout the contest. Desp ite the dismal outcome of the game,seve ral Colonel diamondmen managed to turn in commendable perfor:nances. Seri or Captain Ted Yeager, who was the nation's fourth leading base steale r in the collegiate ranks two years ago, appears to be headed for another sensational year on the base paths as he managed to pilfer three bases in the Thursday afternoon contest.

Paula Cardias as Juno opened "The Masque of Hymen" by blessing all lovers and in her hauntingly beautiful voice admonished that "He be constant and she be chaste." Next a touching lament was sung by Laura (Gretchen Winfield) as Eileen Connor and Charles Robbins mimed with sensitivity the story of Jove and Jost love. King Oberon, played by Donald Mock, proclaimed, "Transform this transparent world into the universal world," and called for music. A Chinese man (Constance Oliver) and a Chinese woman (Celeste Ametrano) came forth and performed. Miss Oliver's deep alto voice, movement and make-up (credited to Harry Swepston) gave amazing authenticity to her role of the Chinese man. The opera ended on a note of harmony as Hymen (Kenneth Stone) declared, "happiness over the world." The musical knowledge and dependability of Julie Levoy and Michael Haberkorn at the piano and the stage direction of Dr. William Martin aided the members of the cast in g1vmg commendable performances throughout both operas.

Therefore, any act can be considered in the realm of sexual behavior if any sexual needs are satisfied in a person. Research in the past handled human sexual behavior as a socialproblem or as an aspect of the family. In concurring with the family aspect Martin states two prospects for research: First, he attempts to determine if sexual behavior is a cohesive force in marriage, the very thing that holds marriages together and not a disruptive force. · Secondly, he seeks to find what post-marital sexual behavior do Martin believes that primary and secondary relationships can be applied to human sexual behavior. Some characteristics for looking at human sexual behavior through primary and seconda ry relationships are communication, personality and variety of roles. Martin ends by saying if we begin to look at human sexu_al behavior through their characteristics, perhaps we will soon be able to understand the sexual behavior of others.

George Pagliaro presided over the poorly attended meeting in which James Fiorino and Lee Auerbach were nominated for the office of president. Whether due to the absence of many dormitory representatives, or because of sheer apathy, there was only one nomination for the office of vice president which was declined by Stephanie Pufko and no nominations for the o ffice of treasurer. For the office of recording secretary, Stephanie Pufko again declined ; however, junior sociology major Joanne Sullivan of Chapman Hall accepted the nomination .

Incumbent President Howie Tune will seek another term at office with representatives Michael Barski and Peter. Jadelis challenging. Jim Loftus announced that he would secure two voting machines for the upcoming election to be placed for two days, Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13, in the Commons between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and in the New Men's Dorm between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Only 17 votes were cast in the Parrish Snack Bar during the last election. IDs will be used exclusively. Comments on the voting cards included "pretty ridiculous," "downright miserable" and "just isn't going to work." A rather surprising turn of events occurred when Woody Nichols, who was disgusted with the events of the SG representative and class officer election, motioned to declare the entire election invalid. Nichols offered in The SG Presidential cand idates' pl~tforms are on Page 3. support of his argument that the voting proposal had not been adhered to. The majority of the membership disagreed with his case and promptly defeated the motion eight to three with seven abstentions. Poro and John Hammond will be appearing at the Kingston Armory , Sunday , April 30. Tickets for outsiders will be $3 apiece. An additional $1175 was s~cured from the All-College Weekend Fund for chairs. The rental fee is 25 cents per chair. Mark Chamberlain of the Clean Environment Committee asked SG to ban posters and other printed material gradually and to establish a P.A. system for both dorm students and day-hops. President Tune explained that at present a Commons-Cafeteria intercom isn't possible, and Ann Schifano asked how a littering law could be enforced. However, President Tune asked for a proposal next meeting. The Surprise of the Week Award goes to Lee Auerbach who announced that there is a pool table disguised as a regular table in the bookstore. He suggested using it since so many students have been wanting one. Someone wondered how they were going to get it out! The Ralston Field Bus Petition secured a final total of 310 names. SG gave the petition a vote of confidence. �THE BEACON Page 2 April 6, 1972 Presidential Contenders The Wilkes Student Body faces a difficult decision in the near future - the election of Student Government President. This is a position which will affect the direction of the college for the next academic year and possibly for several years in the future. We gave the three candidates running for this office an opportuqity to state t~eir positions in this week's issue. Studying each platform carefulry, it still remains a difficult decision to choose a candidate to support. All three candidates come with previous experie·nce in .the student governing body. Howie Tune and Mike Barski will be seniors next year. Pete Jadelis will be a junior next year, but Howie held the same position in his junior year. , Perhaps it would be best to say that the platforms do the candidates an injustice. Past action and involvement, along with a suitable direction for the future then become the criteria for the selection of Student Government President. Judging from past experience and a potential future, it is our opinion that Mike Barski would make the best president. It is our belief that he has all the necessary qualifications, which added to past experience and knowledge, should provide the campus with a 1'nore than adequate representative for the office of Student Government President. Whatever the outcome of the election, the Beacon would like to wish the candidates the best of luck in their campaigning, and the desire that our Student Government will receive the necessary backing for a successful term next year. Concern Questioned It really says a lot for a college campus of approximately 2,600 students that we can't even find people concerned enough to run for some of the most important positions on ~m~L . . We, as a student body, gripe when there is even the slightest indication that we are not being given adequate representation. Yet, when this privilege is accorded us, we shirk the responsibility by failing to come forth with representatives. A recent Inter-Dormitory Council meeting was a prime example of _the lack of concern on the part of the student body. Two positions, that of vice-president and treasurer, remain open. Another position, that of recording secretary, remains with one nomination . There isn't even a choice. It seems that priorities in this case, and probably in several others throughout the Wilkes campus, are definitely being misplaced. Positions which were once thought of with the highest regard are now thought of as simply an added burden on a college student. Granted, the office of vice-president is not the most appealing, but it is, nevertheless, a position which has to be filled, and carries with it a degree of responsibility. The election results weren't the only indication of a lack of student concern. There has been a great deal of absenteeism evident in both the student governing bodies, Student Government and Inter-Dormitory Counci I. Instead of sitting back and complaining- when the job being done is inadequate, how about coming out and taking an active role in the shaping of our college career? Editorially TREACY AIRS KEY ISSUES To the editor, Through my observation of various legislative processes utilized here at Wilkes College throughout the last four years, I have concluded that there is a definite and preferred process by which changes can best be achieved. As has already been proven by methods utilized by student leaders, other than those seated in Student Government, it is essential to leave constantly open an avenue through which both student leaders and Administrators can effectively communicate and work together. The point to be drawn is that in ·gaining three important policies passed this year - open visitation for both women and men, the new calendar change, and the issuing of freshmen women's keys - the guidance for the successful implementation was provided by concerned student leaders, other than our current Student Government President. I feel it necessary to point out the importance for the student body to elect in their president a man who is both imaginative in his goal yet realistic enough to lead the students of Wilkes to the attainment of these goals ; someone who is able to gain the respect and trust - that does not now exist of the people in Weckesser Hall.

It is my conviction that the present situation of the Student Government is not conducive to sufficiently execute its principal function . In the past year improvements have been legislated and yet many more need to be in stituted. Apparently the failure to initiate great improvements is due to a continual lack of communication between major factions of Student Govern"ment and the Administration. This lack of communication ultimately leads to the inefficiency of the entire Student Government. The inability to command an efficient and constructive rapport with the college newspaper is also a great hinderance to the amount of influence Student Government can have on campus. What is most important is that the influential factions of the college , meaning the Administration , SG, IDC and Beacon learn to work together and successfully iron out the growing problems of Wilkes College. It is my since re pledge to bring about a greater understanding between the Stud ent Government and the other important college institutions. Priorities must be stated at the beginning of the year and followed through . If ele cted President , I propose to initiate special standing committees to work on such projects as a better grading system, the reconsideration and hopeful e"timination of some required courses, a more effective evaluation of pro(essors and teachers, an alleviation of the parking problem and plans for a sttident center. These committees would be an essential part of the next Student Government administration. Representatives would be appointed from the Student Government to act as chairmen and mediators. Active students wishing to participate in any of these committees would be recruited to work as tbe nucleus for further improvements. This is not meant to be a method for passing the buck from the Student Government to the student body itself, rather it is a suggestion to help alleviate the pressures faced by Student Government and hopefully make SG more effective. Student Government is a small nrganization and fails to meet all the desires of the student body because of its size and the addition of these standing committees, of non-members of Student Government, will lead to greater effectiveness. ' To provide better communications between stµdents and their government, and also to the aforementioned pressures of the Student Government, I would like to provide convenient, regular hours in which students may speak directly to any members of SG executive council and voice his opinion. These informal meetings during the day will provide an accessible way for commuter students to play a greater, more influential role in the Student Government which is as much theirs as it is the dorm student's. Also these meetings will hopefully furnish SG with new ideas and more importantly, if executed properly , these meetings will enable tne -weekly meetings of SG to move more smoothly because minute. details and preJ>arations can be done then, leaving time to concentrate on more important issues at the weekly meetings . · Throughout this platform letter I have stated in general terms what improvements I hope to initiate . My belief is that the President of Student Government must work with the other members and to state that I, myself, intend to do specifically this or that, is not only unrealistic but childish. In closing I would like to congratulate George Pagliaro, Mark Paikin and Stephanie Pufko on the work they have done in having the New Visitation Policy put through. I wish I could say SG played a greater role in this major improvement, buf hopefully next year credit for new important improvements for day and form students will be given to the Student Government for its efforts. BLOOD DONORS MALE and FEMALE Before attending to my qualifications and platform, I would like to thank the Beacon for allotting this space. I feel my qualifications readily disclose that I am interested in serving the students. I have been a member of the Student Government for three years. In the past year I have been instrumental in initiating and implementing the new calendar fo r next year. Furthermore, with the aid of four con cerned students , we are in the process of alleviating the parking problem of off-campus and day students by establishing a shuttle bus system. These tangible eviqences coupled with an enthusiastic and sincere interest to solving student problems indicate that I am a worthy candidate for the position. In light of all campaign pressures and committments I refuse to be blinded by the honor of running for this office and eagerly promise you the sky . On the other hand, my motives and aspirations are realistic and with proper cooperation can be far-reaching . Foremost in my mind is the revampment of our constitution. The archaic and inflexible document we presently abide by is a major source of student concern . This constitution must be modernized to keep astride with a favorable intellectual and social atmosphere. Closely behind this reform would be a more attentive eye over the Student Government budget and expenditures. My goal is to eliminate any illicit spending or profiting that comes before the Student Government. Thirdly, within the Student Government itself, I want to reestablish a stricter adherence to the guidelines of Parliamentary procedure. It 's here, loose observance to the rules , that confusion arises and paves the way to a disorganized meeting. Another priority would be instituting a system of making announcements at regular intervals in the Commons, thus keeping the day student as informed as possible. Also I want to explore the possibilities of students expanding their voices over our radio station. · A final goal would be to investigate the prospects of students picking up a course during the month we will have off at next year's semester break. I do have more ideas and programs, however, the above are the most prominent. Although it would be in keeping with politics to promote an idealistic environment to persuade your vote, I can't give a bona fide guarantee that electing me will immediately turn oilr campus into a rose garden. However, I can guarantee one thing: · one year of an administration dedicated to the resolvement of student problems. Finally, next year is critical for the students and Student Government alike . Time is a vital element. We can't wait and see what happens while events pass us by. We must use time as a tool, and with your vote I'd like to do precisely that .

Elections will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13. Voting areas are the Commons and the New Men's Dorm. EFFECTIVENESS QUESTIONED CITY SHOE REPAllt IMMEDIATELY The past year, in my opinion , has been a fruitful one for Student Government. In addition to the passage of several crutial issues, there has been a noticeable change in the posture of the Administration. The student opinion report was instrumental in bringing this about. For the first time , we were able to back up our positions with cold fact. This year, Dr. Miche1ini supported our position on visitation ; the results are apparent. Many things that were elusive dreams a year ago , such as women's visitation, the commuter council, the car shuttle (soon to come into operation) and the new calendar , have been grl!flted. While I cannot claim sole credit for these things, I believe our spirit which spurred these reforms can be carried on to meet any stumbling block a student may encounter. I'm not a miracle worker; let's face it, this is a conservative school, and some . things will never change. But that doesn't mean that we ·won't try. It's never been my practice to make promises, out of fear that they might not be fulfilled. I'm not starting now. I can't give you promises, but I can give you hope. tbe 76 s.utlt M..

The $1,150 fee for room and board at the college will remain the same even though ~ge officials have noted increases in various direct and fringe services provided in this ;gory. Approval for the increase came at the recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, which fir st ~ard the reasons fo r the needed boost in tuition and then accepted a call for a vo te by Joard Chairman Louis Shaffer. The new tuition rate - which when combined with room and board will put the total academic year costs fo r two semesters at an even $3,000 - will go into affec t in September of this year. Notice of the tuition hike was made by Dr. Francis J . Michelini, president of Wilkes College, who personally wro te to almost 3,000 students and their parents, explaining the reasons for the increase. to keep our increase as small as possible to avoid hardship on our students and their pare nts while at the same t ime recognizing the need t o meet those expenses necessary to provide the highest quality education at Wilkes College.

The long-awaited revised visitation proposal , which includes visitation in women's dormitories, was put into effect for the first time yesterday. According to Miss Jane Lampe, Dean of Women, visitation in women's dormitories will be run in compliance with the rules and regulations of the policy. During the hours which each individual dorm decides to initiate visitation, there must be a student on duty, insuring that the sign-in sheets are being used. Failure to comply with any of the agreements surrounding visitation will result in action by the Judicial Court. The following is a copy of the proposed revision of the agreement for dormitory visitation which was passed by the Board of Trustees: Proposed Revision of the Agreement fo r Dormitory Visitation. subtitle, "Provisions of this Agreement." Submitted to : The Council of Deans, and Dr. Michelini Accepted by: I.D.C. and Student Government Submitted by : George Pagliaro , Mark Paikin, and Stephanie Pufko Date : February 13, 1972 , The provisions of this pro posal shall be: 1. The visitation policy now operating in the men's dormitories shall be extended to include the women's dormitories, but visitation hours on Sunday shall be extended to 12:00 midnight in bo th male and female dormitories. Therefore , this section of the agreement shall read: Hours of visitation shall be : Fridays - 5 p.m. til 2:00 a.m. Saturday ; Saturdays - 12 noon til 2:00 a.m. Sunday ; Sundays - 12 noon ti! 12 midnight. When the presence of a third party inconveniences a roommate , the third party shall withdraw. Additional rules and regulations governing these policies will be adopted by the I.D.C. and the Council of Deans. This agreement will be in effect during the fall and spring semesters. 2. Visitation shall be established Monday through Thursday within the hours of 6 p.m. and 12.midnight for all dormitories. These hours will operate under the same rules as weekend visitation. 3. No dormitory shall be bound to have visitation on any day, or for the full hour allotment of any day. A. The days and hours of visitation an individual dormitory shall have, within the limits established by this proposal, shall be determined by the students who reside in that particular dormitory. B. All these decisions shall require the approval of two-thirds of the individual dormitory's population. (This provision shall not be construed to mean two-thirds of those residents at a particular dorm meeting, but , rather, a clear two-thirds of the entire dormitory population by secret ballot.) C. The New Men's Dormitory shall vote as one living unit to avoid the inherent problem of varied hours within one structure.

The event marked the beginning of the spring social events which will conclude with Commencement in June. During the dinner hour local folk artist Ted Bird entertained and later, Moses, a well-known local rock group, provided the music. Among the participants in the evening's festivities were many members of the faculty and Administration as well as out-of-town guests of the students. Shown left to right are: Steve Apaliski, president of the freshman class; Kit McCarty; Gary Horning; Frances Scharaldi, general chairman of the dance; Wilkes College President and Mrs. Francis J. Michelini; Carole Lowande, president of the sophomore class; and Joseph Deddy. by Marietta Bednar An often overlooked or perhaps conveniently forgotten aspect of campus life are campus-wide campaigns. There are relatively few implicitly stated guidelines to follow and even then, there 'is no escaping the topic of ethics in each campaign. Just how far should we, as a college campus, go with our politics, our campaigns and our election coverage? This is a question that is difficult to answer, especially with the huge amount of diversity prevalent on the Wilkes College campus. , Candidates for camp.,µs offices, have a certain degree of ethics to live up to. These of necessity cannot be exactly the same as those of the campus' Joe Doe , who can fade into the background at any .given moment , and not have_ face accusation or semi-trial conditions by his peers. Student offices, by' their very nature of responsibility, demand intelligence, practical knowledge and a degree of experience. While all this may sound like a difficult or unfair order for the average college student, the candidate will soon realize that he has to face some entirely unprece_dented problems and situations. No one can tell another candidate exactly what to expect from his term in office. Each and every situation will be different. Along with the obvious requirements for offices comes a not-so-obvious, but, nevertheless, essential part of a character - a natural power for observation, reasoning and acting . This is where the ethics of campaigning come into the picture. By the very fact that a given candidate has put his name on the ballot for office, it is safe to assume that all of his actions will be open to interpretation by the student body. If a candidate has acted irresponsibly in his campaign tactics , is it not, therefore, safe to assume that he will follow much the same course of action when in office? Any student who once in office uses his powers to selfish, or unfair advantage, has left himself open to not only criticism, but has betrayed a deep trust the student body has placed in him by nature of his__election. Freedom of speech is unquestionably a right given to everyone in our nation, and the college campus is definitely no exception. What should be guarded against in campaigns on the campus is the unfair use of this "right_." No individual should have the right to use his "freedom" to destroy 'the other candidate. Eve_ry · candidate should live up to the socially established codes of sincerity, truthfulness and accuracy. If a candidate promises something in his cam~aign policies, it should also be his responsibility to live up to the~e promises and to give the student body a fair shake in every de11l. Si6gari!s%6'uld be accurate' and not stretch 'the th in any way . . Every'' one . i;if us has seen th~ campus _..yjth 'eleq/<;>n ~ig!1~ up everywhere·, hanging from dorms, the com'm6ns, trees, fliers on the lawns, signs ·pla~tered on doors, etc. In many resp_ects, it would seem that we tend to ' _go · a little overboard -in our presentation of elections to the student' body. It would be a fair assumption that the student body of Wilkes is not illiterate, we can read. The over-saturation of campaign materia:ron- the college campus sometinies proves to bring negative results, aside from the fact that they destroy or detract from the beauty of the campus;,d;_ ,,. Impa'ftialily- also enters the campaign picture in many ways. Each candida'tecshould honestly make the effort to make a distinction between the facts or actual achievements or weaknesses of his opp6nent and his opinion of his opponent's character. An individual should _-n ot make it a. practice _of,, stating, in any manner, charges which could be construed as affecting,the opponent's character or reputation. One ·o r;,the strongest arguments against any of the above suggestions for campus campaigns is the national picture, which cuts down opponents on the bis1s'"of actions and moral convictions. Maybe it is slightly naive to think that the college campuses should promote something _that our nation-has failed to do since its beginning. But perhaps it is still best to consider one final point - Who says we have to be like the rest of the nation? io I LIVING PROPOSAL ATTACKED I Student Government Representative Pete Jadelis reported at a recent Student Government meeting that the Off-Campus Living Proposal had been changed without the knowledge of the governing body. The dormitories must be relatively filled before students will be permitted to live off campus. Also, those who do wish to live off campus must be in good academic standing.

The one we are referring to is the Eugene S. Farley Social Hall, more commonly known as the Eugene Shedden Farley Library. The student body wants a place and socialize ~ all well and good, another building for that purpose, library. A college is established to meet but use not the for the distinct purpose of educating young adults. The responsibility for that education should also rest on the individuals who a.-e attending the institution of higher learning. This is one area where. Wilkes is lacking most at the present time. While we profess to be a liberal arts institution dedicated to the goals of higher learning, we refuse· to allow a suitable atmosphere in which this· learning can take place. _ · Numerous complaints have been raised about the noise level in the library, yet few will admit that the students themselves are responsible for the noise level which has . ~ gotten all out of proportion. They have created a situatioiJ:: in the library that is suitable for the exchanging of books and socializing, not much else. Granted that during the day, there are relativ~ly few places for the student pop~,~ tion to go in between classes. And the' library •: naturally assumes the role of a hang-out until the student's next class. What these same students are apparently ignoring is the fact that there are day and dorm students with .'!1ajor reports due, and even graduate students who have the right to utilize the library during the day. Each one of us, as college students, has experienced the panic of last-minute research for various reasons, and has appreciated the fact that there was some silent retreat in which to accomplish an intensiv~ and , extensive amount of work. The amount of noise in the library at any given time could very well mean the difference between a good grade and a poor presentation. No one likes to be short-changed commercially. Here, in the case of the library, we are short-changing ourselves academically. Library personnel should not have to play police and maintain a suitable atmosphere in the library. _We are at the stage in our educational growth where we should act responsibly and be our own police force, acting to keep the noise in the library down, for our own good. More Courses Suggested The college looks with pride (as well they should) to the new medical program which will begin in September. Not only will it fill a void in the medical programs of this area, but it will also put Wilkes one step higher on the ladder of growing private liberal arts colleges. No one can deny that this is a step in the right direction. What we question, however, is the lack of new innovations within the present curricu lums. All the standard traditional courses ' are there; every major is covered adequately .. But standard traditional courses have never been known to cause a great stir of intellectual activity amont students. Where are the exciting, new, perhaps even experimental courses that add so much to a student's field of study? Where are the courses that students will take for the sheer enjoyment of it? Why are most major fields so structured and rigid that even when the student has an opportunity to take several courses outside his major there are very few • courses that look appetizing enough to try? Granted, there has been talk of a few new courses for next fall, and also of a Drama major and a . Communications Arts major. Trite as the expression is, talk is cheap. If progress has been made along these lines, why not let the students know what they can look forward to within the next few years? And why not· let them know how long they will have to wait? • Or has all the talk been just that: talk? Wilkes is suppo~sedly a iiberal arts college, but there is a great emphasis on the sciences. The Hahnemann Medical Program is evidence of that, and -no .:,o ne is arguing that the sciences ·aren't important. What we do argue against is the '. seeming lack of importance placed on some of the other departments. The students have been accused of thinking only of their social concerns. But there are very few students who do not realize the importance of a strong department in their field. And at Wilkes, some .departments offer very little beyond the bare necessities. . Why not reevaluate the nature of some of the courses and try to provide courses that go beyond the standard traditional material? NOTICE Find out what it is like to be an oppressed Jew.

D , c ,or tra1mng, oug s per,ormance must be deemed one of the most awesome accomplishments in Wilkes sport history. The diving board at the YMCA Colonel training site was broken most of the season, so Doug was forced to practice alone at the King's pool where encouragement and discipline were bound to be less. .But he managed to push himself and fulfilled his last year's prediction of becoming an All-American. Doug Krienke Doug wishes to thank his many fans and especially "Minno" (Jim Phethean) for their moral support at MAC' s and his all around backing. The top two finishers qualified for the Olympic trials, which is Doug's next objective. He intends to try to make the 1976 U.S. Olympic Team. At the rate the senior two-time MAC diving champ from Plainfield, New Jersey , has been making his predictions become reality, it may not be so impossible as it seems. SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP OFFER.

And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said "This is my house." "This is my dog." "This is where I like to hide." They began to explain, t o describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. We're helping the children of the inner-city. And we're also helping the adults. We're invdved in inner-city job programs. To train unskilled people in useful jobs. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we're showing how our products can help a teacher-and maybe creating a whole new market. And we're also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film . But more than that, we're cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it.

Bernard Vinovrski �Page 2 THE BEACON March 16, 1972 IRA SEEN AS LINK .TO COMMUNITY An often overlooked but integral part of Wilkes College's commitmen t to the community as a whole is found in the Institute of Regional Affairs. Founded in 1951 under the direction of the late Dr. Hugo V. Mailey as the Institute of Municipal Government , its formation had as its fundamental purpose to guarantee the self-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it had the capacity to solve its own problems. "The commitment by the College in community affairs was duly recognized in 1960 when the Ford Foundation funded the Institute of Municipal Government , the Area Research Center and the Labor-Management Citizens Office. "In 1966 the Institute of Regional Affairs replaced the Institute of Municipal Government as a multiple-purpose College organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple acade jtlic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines." Now headed by Mr. Andrew Shaw, the IRA has indeed turned to areas outside of the political field in an effort to improve the community at large. Sponsoring several seminars and '~hort courses," the Institute has turned to such remote disciplines as improving area fire departments, helping clean · up the Susquehanna and offering a course in death and berievement for local doctors and funeral personnel. The IRA , however , still plays a vital role in trying to improve city politics in Wilkes-Barre. Although not participating ·in any way , shape or manner in the selection of the new city manager here , the IRA has been called upon to present a totally objective evaluation of current candidates for the City Council. This was done and resulted in what was originally intended to be a confidential evaluation evolving in to a public one through the news media. In becoming a more well balan ced in stitute , the IRA has now_ turned to various departments within Wilke s College to aid in its Government Seminars Sponsored By IRA 1r i task of community involvement. The education, sociology, biology and chemistry departments are just , a few which are now playing a role in the betterment of Wyoming Valley and surrounding areas . The IRA hasn't done too badly in its own- improvement as the Institute has abandoned it s previous home on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall for the more desolate confines of the Franklin Hall basement. Fear not, however , as the IRA staff is far from hurting. It now enjoys the . comfort of wall-to-wall carpeting, bright new paneled walls and vast office space which even the fussiest official might find inviting .

But it does help yo u to get to know him more as an individual than as a relative . I practically grew up with my nephew, Jim, ever since first grade when I could remember his mot her walking me to school, and Jim co ming along for the air. The closeness grew and along with it grew the hurt that I was to discover recently when J im flately announced that he had his own ideas of "where it was all at" - somewhere in the vicinity of the drug scene. Morals and ideals are funny things, trying to impo se your own on anyone else is not on ly u.nwan ted , but extremely unfair . But when you see someone who has every chance for success deny it willingly , it become s an en tirely differen t matter. Jim has always managed to give me a hard time, but we always got around to having long discussions where we knew tha t a confidence would be ke pt. Somehow this helped to make every thing worthwhile . Now, with a great deal o f outside influences and problem s pressu ring him , J im's personality will never quite be the same . I keep hoping but the odds seem totally against any change in attitude. Way back in grammar school, Jim had to co ncoct his own imbentions (no mispelling, Jim had quite a problem pronouncing his "V" ). He h ad no doubt at all about what he could accomplish with such devices . If they didn't WOfk the first time , new gadgets and extensions were added until it was able to complete a satisfactory function, or at least one that would inspire some degree of admiration from a younger sister or brother. Now , all -this is different , Jim really doesn't care about anything school is just another thing to put up with, and get out of at any cost. After-school activities are just one complete bore - no one with any degree of popularity would be caught dead participating in a school sponsored activity. What's the alternative - hanging around a street corner , or going to a "friend's house" to get smashed or stoned. Jim ~ana~ed to tell mt!' the whole story over seme,~ter break, with th_e added aside 'mom and dad know the whole story too. It was almost as 1f he ~ad really accomplished something great and had achieved the zenith ~l~i:~~~\ of resist the temptation to ask him if he were satisfied or even realively happy . The response was negative to both question. "I'm happy when I'm in a group, high and having a good time, but other than that things are pretty boring." I have to admit that I'm completely puzzled - is so brief a period of happiness really worth all the effort? I guess part of the problem is that while I've been able to understand Jim for such a long time now , the dra st ic change_in attitude is completely unnerving. H's not as if there weren't supervised activities available to these kids at just about any time they could want them . The problem lies in the fact that these activities are simply labeled as too corney for group participation, and are doomed to failure from the start. Jim related -numerous stories involving decisions he himself had to make concerning the drug scene, decisions I had supposed would take a great deal of careful consideration -· until I learned later that most of these decisions had been predetermined by the older group. Somehow it just doesn't seem fair that others should impose their ideas on lower groups . Ir might be argued in the reverse , that those who are completely straight are trying to influence these same groups in the opposite direction. One thing I've learned through working as a student teacher with this same age group isthat in mo.st cases they're really sharp- falsity will really stand out in their minds and the facts are what really impress them. Part of the problem tiere is that 11ntil they have definite , con crete fac t that will prove to them '"that drugs, or anything else such as smoking is harmful , in what way , and to what degree it will harm them , these kids will not accept the theory. One of the things that bothers me most right now is that there is no i solu tion to the problems as it stands , except as it rests in the individual. Agencies have been formulated to "educate" the masses on the seriousness of the drug situation, but the only way of reaching these individuals is to hope that they eventually find out that there's a great deal more to life than brief moments of "happiness." l guess I just have ·to wait patiently and hope that Jim can find something or someone who will take on a special meaning in h is life and help him to find out exactly where "it's all at."

Band To Conduct Car Wash The Spring Semister so cial scene commences this Saturday evening as the Freshman-Sophomore Dinner Dance takes place in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling from 7 p.m. until 12: 30 a. m . The annual affair will get underway when participants are treated to the Hotel Sterling's deluxe buffett. Furing the dinner hour local folk artist Ted Bird and Moses will entertain. The festivities will also include a cash-carry bar. The Sterling was chosen for the event for a variety of reasons - the most notewo rthy being its accessability to and from Wilkes. The Crystal Ballroom is located on the second floor of the building. From 9 p.m. on , MOSES will provide music for the dance which will follow the buffett in the same ballroom. The local entertainers have appeared at a Wilkes Student Government dance and are regarded as one of the best groups in Wyoming Valley: Local folk star Ted Bird will sing during intermittent breaks. The event is a product of General Chairman Fran Scharaldi with the assistance of Carole Lowande , Mindy Miller , Mitchell Wilf, James Kelley , Richard McGuire , Terry Roccograndi and Barbara Lucca. The semi-formal affair is open to all members of the sponsoring classes, as well as o ther members of the. Wilkes College family. Tickets may be purchased in the Bookstorelor $5. The Wilkes College Band will conduct a car wash on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Solomon's Gulf Station , Penn Plaza Shopping Center on South Main Street, City. Purpose of the event will be to raise funds for use by the musicians in their various worthwhile contributions to the social, cultural and sports life of the college . Students , faculty and administration are urged to support this one dollar project, give their cars a much-needed cleaning after the long, dirty winter and at the same time help out the musicians. Hats Off Hats off to Mike Barski for his bravery in helping to extinguish a fire in the vestibule of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in 'Wilkes-Barre last Friday afternoon. Women Faculty Mern.bers: A . Liberated Minority? Randy Steele Instead of asking if women instructors are being discriminated on our campus , the question should be, "Is there malicious intent by the College towards women because of their sex?" The answer? Well .. .. it depends on who you listen to. · This is the cumulative response spawned by three weeks of interviews with certain members of our women faculty and a final meeting with President Francis J. Michelini. The most sensitive area of questioning naturally centered around salaries. And some of the professors interviewed felt they were getting the short end of the deal because of their sex. . "It's a very difficult situation to evaluate," said President Michelini. "I can find imbalances looking at sex, but I can find imbalances looking at other areas as well." Salaries are based on an instructor's ability and responsibilities not whether they are women or men. It seems everyone likes to think they are worth more than perhaps they really are . It's a healthy attitude. Another topic for the arena is the mJss of male-dictated policy that ripples throughout the campus. This topic washed out after it was discovered that as many as six women have served on the Board of Trustees at one time . The current number is nowhere near that and President Michelini admitted that it is hard to find competent women who'll assume the responsibility. It 's conceded that women are in a minority on the Council of Deans and are non:.existant in chairmanships but does that necessitate the label "Male-Dictatorships?" Certainly not - at ]east until it's otherwise proven. Also thrown into the discussion was the low number of female full professors here. No evidence was discovered whereby a woman was denied college aid simply because she was a member of the opposite sex. To the contrary , there are examples of female full- professors who gained their PhDs because of the college and the aid it provided. President Michelini further argued that there simply are not as many women entering the higher fields of learning as there are men . The college isn't trying to hold them down. "If they (both men and women) were sexless, where would they be? Probably they would be in the same place." The college also uses different interviewing techniques. If a woman who is applying for a position here is a mother, she will be quized as to her ability to function properly in both roles. President Michelini felt this was fair because an instructor had to be able to perform beyond a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. day . Mothers have more responsibilities with which to be concerned. Some may say it's trivial, but this is one areawhere the College is probably in error. If the mother-applicant even bothered to apply, it's proof that she feels she can handle both her home and college lives . When the Women's Liberation movement attains success, different methods used to handle the same situatio_n because of sex will be erased . This interview · in no sense denies the fad that women are being discriminated against. That would be sheer folly . But the college doesn't participate in the practice; although, it would be a convenient excuse for a few faculty members .

The strain of social tension has Maybe, but it's not realty an impossible been alleviated to a great extent. But one.

It's almost as if the offices of responsibility on this campus, once thought of with a great deal of respect, have been reclassified as something definitely not desirable, and even something to be avoided at all costs. There isn't much more that can be said, no one cares anyway. It has been said that the students at Wilkes care only about social areas of concern, and care very little or not at all about academic matters. We feel that this is not so, and we urge students to use their voice. Treat last week as a beginning so that the improvements wi II not stop here. The rest of your college career wi II benefit from it. P.S. If anyone should wonder in what vein this letter is intended, I remind them of an old proverb. "Good jests bite like lambs and not like lions." Library Talk · lntensifes To the editof: Wilkes Needs A Library I propose that the rest rooms at Wilkes be better lighted, for that is one of the- few places on campus where one can get some serious study done. The only interruption is an occasional flush of the toilet , which is minimal compared to the cackling in the "glorified tea room" we call a library. It really makes me sick to my stomach each time I read an article in the Beacon re ardin the noise pollution in the library. Not that the complaints are not justified , for nothing could be further from the truth, but when the hell is something going to be done about the problem. While reading Tom Howell's article of last week, I could not help but smile nauseously. I ~as confronted with a similar situation which I shall relate . My apologies to students whose whomachs are also turned by such articles, but just gulp down some "soothing pink Pepto-Bismol" and read on . Several weeks ago, a friend spent the day at Wilkes with me. He was impressed with the informal rapport between student and teach,ir. and with some instructor's willingness to go out of his way to help a student. According to him, this is rare at a large college or university. When we visited the library, his admiration changed to shock. His first question was, "Where's the juke box?" I started making excuses, saying that this was the main floor and sometimes it is a little noisy here because of the entrance, book check out, etc. ," so we headed upstairs seeking the solitude of an isolated table. Science majors controlled the third floor and it seemed they had a chemistry test that afternoon . Instead of studying, there were mass discussions. The noise was incredible; talking and laughing out loud, and that day we even heard a story about a chicken who attacks people. I was hesitant about moving to the first floor, thinking maybe a rock concert was being held there, so we ended up getting a conference room with the noise outside and the quiet in. Speaking to several Wilk~s alumni, I found that this problem is not new. They do admit, however, it must have grown worse. But how far are we going to let this problem go? We may need a bigger Commons, but we need not sacrifice the library. My friend offers the following solution, which l March 16 Class Meetings - 11 a.m. Voting for Class Officers and Student Government Representatives Parrish Snack Bar 9-1; New Men's Dorm 4-7 Con cern and Lecture Series - Kipnis Mime Theater " Opus Blue is Pink" - CPA - 8 p.m. March 17 Manuscript Film - "Long Days Journey Into Night" CPA - 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Easter Dance - Gym - 9 pm. to midnight �-------■• he says works quite well at the upstate New York campus he atte nds.

Toole slashed out against student "over-emphasis". on social life and "under-emphasis" on academics during a recent lecture at the Wilkes Co ll ege Center for the Performing Arts. Because of the degree of unity students show over their social li fe , according to a Stud ent Life Committe e survey , Dr. Tool e fe lt that students should use that sam e unity to combat the problems involving academics. "This is a four -year funhou se," re po rted Dr. Toole . Students' view s on an in crease in spcial ac tivity are a misplace d prio rity and can lead to unfavorable results . Dr. Toole further maintained that the student body has the needed power to re-align it s prioritie s but refuses to use it. He cites for example that student members who attend faculty meetings rarely reflect upon anything. The administration and faculty need ideas to improve the college , but seldom are they offered by students. It was conceded by Dr. Toole that a single student is • virtually powerless to change the quality and degree of instruction by a certain teacher. However , if students bonded together and confronted the instructor or the department head with tlieir grievances, they could make their demands heard. Students ought to strive for fairness of exams and have a say in the co urses taught and the methods of teaching. Dr. Toole next ~poke o ut against withdrawal ,f,r om courses. Withdrawals may lead a prospective employer to ccrnclude that a student is unreliable and unable to face responsibility. Also , some students simply quit a course because of fear. And perhaps they could have passed. A withdrawn course on a student's transcript doesn't explain why the student deemed it necessary to drop the course. This is a concern which should be strived for. Final immunity should be available to the student who achieves a high enough grade - but only in subjects outside his major. Dr. Toole resounded that there is a limit to laxness or permissiveness , especially if such permissiveness is detrimental to the student's well-being. Our new one-month semester break should be put to proper academic use if a student's situation demands it. Too few among the student body are so determined to learn that they will stop a class to clarify a point. Usually pupils Jet things slide for months! The key to needed change is total involvement by the students today.

Yes, fans, Coward and I will give you the results of the semi-finals and the all-important Championship Game. Faculty 56 - Dirt 51 Well , Steveroo , the Faculty got past Dirt with a third period rally to enter the finals . Down by two at the end of the first half the Faculty refused to be beaten and rallied for the victory. Yes: siree, the Faculty's balanced attack had four men in double figures; Skvarla 14, Vinovrski 13, Rome 12 and Orlowski 10. Dirt had the game's top scorer in Bill Kozicki, who finished with 16. He received help from Lavelle and Gillespie , who combined for 23 points. Moc Maulers 53 - Bearcats 38 Down 22 to 6 at the end of the first quarter the Bearcats couldn't overcome the tremendous lead piled up by the Maulers. You can say that again, Coward, that first quarter onslaught was just too much for the Bearcats to overcome, although they played the remainder of the game on even terms. Rich Combellack, Bob Yatko and Ed Kociolek hit twin figures for Moc while game honors went to Mike (Bibby) Barski, who scored 16 for the Bearcats.

Championship: Moc Maulers 59 - Faculty 50 The Moc Maulers won their second straight !BL title (as I predicted, I might add) by defeating a strong Faculty squad. Rich Combellack led the Maulers with 28 while Bernie Vinavorsky with 15 and Joel Rome with 14 led the Faculty. Yes Coward, for a change you hit one on the head. It was either team's 'ballgame in the first half but a slow third quarter put the Faculty down by 10. Joe Skvarla Jed the Faculty to a five-point first quarter lead as he hit for eight points. But Moc was not about to be held .down as Thomas and Combellack led a second quarter rally that put Moc up by two. Coward, in the third quarter it was all Combellack as he out-scored the Faculty by himself. Another factor in the Maulers' success was their ability to hold Skvarla to just two points in the second half. That's right, Stellar , and as hard as the Faculty tried, they just couldn't make a comeback in the fourth quarter. Sokoloski, Combellack and Yatko put the ball in the deep freeze and worked for only good shots in order to stave off the Faculty's efforts. Well, Coward, that about wraps it up for this week. It certainly does, Steveroo, but we'll be back next week with a report on the IBL All-Star game as well as a final wrap-up of the !BL season.

Dave captured the "Northern Division" rebounding laurels by averaging 14.5 rebounds per game to nose out Upsala's Don Marvel (14 .1), Wagner's Tom Miller (14.0) and Textile's Mark Williams ( 13.6). It was Dave's leviathan exhibition versus Scranton that vaulted him from the circuit's number three slot to the individual title. His hands seemed magnetized to leather in that contest as he ripped down a stunning 23 rebounds. Kurosky also finished twelfth in the loop in scoring with a 16.4 game average. A pair of his teammates, too, slipped into the elite dual figure category with Grig O'Brien finishing 24th in the conference in scoring with a 13. 7 average and Mark Caterson 27th with a 12.8 average.

The purpose of the body , designated as the Inter-Commuter Council, is to provide an outlet where discussions relating to day student concerns may be communicated through the Plans are underway to provide for a change in the membership of the Activities fee fund Committee.

Close affiliation meeting of March I, IDC President representative to serve on the Activities Fee Fund Committee for all college clubs. This representative would have a say in how money is allocated to the clubs. Under the plan, club officers would be elected in March for the following academic year . To enable the clubs to provide a candidate for Activities Fee Fund Committee membership, each club would have to amend its constitution accordingly. A letter would be sent out to each of the new club presidents during March to determine who among the officers wanted to run for the position on this committee. Three weeks after the change of officers, the clubs and Constitution Committee would meet, and each candidate would present a plan for club-related appropriations. The Clubs and Constitution Committee would then elect the represe ntative to the Activities Fee Fund Committee out of these candidates. As with membership to Student Government, candidates for the Activities Fee Fund Committee position would have to meet set requirements. The specific qualifications have not yet been determined, according to Mr . !3ielecki.

SG President Howie Tune reported that the idea was impractical. Grading Proposal Discussion followed on the newly suggested final immunity proposal. . As the proposal now stands, section I reads, "Each instructor shall be charged with the duty of evaluating each of his courses and determining the need or lack of need for a final."

A while ago a good friend of mine went through an experien ce I thought might be interesting to share. words. rn try to tell it by using her own "When Karen told me she was pregnant, there didn't seem to be much she was going to New York for an abortion and she wanted me to go with her. "I don't want you to get the idea that it was a hack shop . We went to a clinic, a fully accredited place with docto rs and nurses and social workers. "We arrived pretty early in the morning, but the place was already full of people. As I looked around, I noticed that most of them were young girls who sat with their boyfriends, husbands, lovers, mothers or friend s. "l was glad that Karen didn't have to sit in the waiting room with me. She went upstairs for tests, because they had to determine exactly how d k h ., pregnant she was . If you're lucky, you're un er eight wee s - t en 1t s only 150 dollars . From there the price goes up. Karen just made it. I guess you could say she was lucky. "There was no pli ce in -the waiting room for private thoughts . Everyone seemed to fee_I a need to talk about it ... to say whether this was their first time here, or their second or third . "A girl from South Carolina sa't next to me. She turned to me and said , 'l can't remember what he looked like. I never knew his last name. I don't even remember what it felt like . It just isn't fair.' "Th · · h Id · · h 'I ere was a recept1O111st w o wou come m every once m a w I e and call a number - there were never any names. Everyone just held on • h er turn .

I kept asking the nurse and the social worker to check on Karen , but after a few times they grew tired of me and told me to sit down - there was nothing to worry about. "Finally Karen came and we left. I held her as we crossed the street , and when we got to the other side, she sto pped and looked back . But I couldn't because I knew if I did, it would still be there." �Page 3 THE BEACON March 9, 1972 Klaus Bolm On Scene As A Real Pro by Pat Moran A professional amidst amateurs paints a clear picture of a man who has devoted his entire life to the theater. The man is Klaus Holm - technical expert , scenic designer, lighting director, advisor, manager , teacher and lecturer at Wilkes College. These credits accurately describe the professional Klaus Holm, a native of Germany , who has lived and worked with the theater all of his life from technical director of the Phoenix Theater in New York City , Broadway shows, designer of several operas fo r the Opera Association, jobs at Lincoln Center in New York and finally to the Wilkes College campus where he brings with him that all-important "professional touch." An intervi~w with Holm was all that was necessary to show, in addition to his professional side, he is also a real person whose life revolved around the theater. Holm described the theater in just one sentence - "The theater is my life." He explained that even though it at times becomes a "drudge," the excitement returns as soon as he sees all of the bits and pieces come together at the right time and at the right place - on stage opeIJing night! Klaus Holm is not an easy man to get to talk about his work even though he obviously loves and respects it because he grew up in it. One gains the impression that he fears an interviewer will, out of ignorance or lack of respect, fail to get the true , deep-down feeling of the theater. And for that reason he's shy to the point of being misunderstood as being uncooperative or just short of arrogant about being interviewed. It is only when he warms up to the interviewer and his favorite topic that the real Klaus Holm emerges as a warm, dedicated human being who was just as natural for show business as it was for him. Mother Famous Dancer From early childhood Klaus Holm lived and breathed in close association with those who performed for others. His mother is Hanya Holm, who will be re membered by many as the famous dance r-choreographer. She started her career in Germany in the early I 920s where she gained wide acclaim as a performer and instructor before coming to the United States in the 1930s. Her son grew into manhood as she conducted a dance studio in New York City. From 1937 to 1939, Mrs. Holm traveled throughout this country on a concert tour and in 1941 began to teach dancing at Colorado College. While Holm was in the U.S. Naval Air Corps during World War II, his mother's fame and name were spreading so that she was eventually to gain world-wide acclaim for her choreography of such outstanding productions as "Ballet Ballads," "Kiss Me Kate" (New York and London) , "Out of This World ," "My Fair Lady" (New York and London) and "Camelot." She is now semi-retired but teaches every summer at Colorado College. Concerning the adjustment that was involved in his move from the ultra-professional theater of New .york to Wilkes College, Holm explained, "The theater is as professional as you make it." He said that because it operates under entirely different rules, the college theater can never be truly professional but he does apply professional standards in his work (Continued on Page 12) DINNER DANCE SCH-EDULED Klaus Holm Sophoinore Report: Class Activities After promoting a host of activities for the 1971-1972 year, the Sophomore Class is in the process of winding up its activities for the year with its biggest project yet: the annual Sophomore-Freshman Dinner Dance. This semi-formal affair will be held Saturday, March 18, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling, featuring a deluxe buffet and an open bar - Music will be provided by Ted Bird during dinner and Moses will play from 9 p.m. to 12: 30 a.m . Party favors have been o~dered for the occasion. Tickets are on sale at the bookstore at $5 per couple. The Sophomore Class started off the fall semester with a fund-raising T-shirt sale in conjunction with Letter_women under the direction of Kathy Davis and Carole Lowande. The proceeds from this activity went toward the p1anning of a class outing which had to be cancelled dte to inclement weather. The freshman and sophomore classes of Wilkes College will hold their annual dinner-dance on Saturday, March 18 , from 7 Plans were made to sp :.msor a p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling . Members of the committee shown during a planning session are, left to right - seated : Frances Scharaldi, general chairman; movie, Diary of a Mad Housewife, Carole Lowande, president of the sophomore class; Mindy Miller, sophomore class secretary.

Both projects were successful and the executive council planned another movie, Daddy's Gone A Hunting, under the direction of Donna Donceses and another coffee house under the direction of Ricky McGuire . The snow sculpture contest had to be cancelled due to lack of snow. Another movie Cool Hand Luke, has been pl;nned for April 15 and the class will attempt to sponsor another outing with the freshman class on April 23. On Cherry Blossom Weekend, which is May 6-7, the Sophomore Class will undertake a fund-raising project selling balloons and by opening . a food concession on the dike at the .Cherry Blossom Carnival. DROPPING COURSES ,(From Page 2) Students have the right to fail as well as to pass. The college should allow them to make a mistake. But Dean Ralston emphasized that a course should be dropped only under strict advisement. Perhaps SG President Howie Tune spotted one big hang-up in the whole dilemma . Is the college supposed to be a microcosm of the world? If it isn't, then there's no reason why anyone should be concerned by what would happen if a student were confronted with a similar situation "out there." Perhaps the college should put its emphasis on only what is best for "in here." All students receiving a National Defense Student Loan for the Spring semester, 1972 are required to sign for these funds at the Finance Office, Parrish Hall.

Thi s coun c il is CQmposed of three stude nts, two fa c ulty m e m b ers and two administration members. With the Court Clerk (who is also a student) , they replace the Coun cil of Deans in enforcing the Regulations fo r Student Conduct as stated in the Student Handbook. Thus , this loudly-heralded , but now little-publicized body , has supposedly done its part for the students . It has in essence become a first-class disciplinary board. Granted , it has handed out "discipline ," so in one sense it could be called effective, if that is JUDICIAL COUNCI L UNDER ATTACK . - wha t one wants in a Judicial Coun cil. However , fro m my point of view as a student member of the council, it is, a t best, a disappointment. Before go ing furth er, let me say that my disappoin tment does no t stem from the people involved with the Judicial Coun cil. Rather , it stems from the limit ed scope of the Council. 1 would like to see our present disciplinary board turn into a real Judicial Council, rather than remaining a functional part of the college's moral police. It is my belief that this council was not set up to be an instrument by which the college solely hands ou t punishment for breaking the "guidelines" on student conduct. The guidelines are, in effect, a code of morals that the college hopes the ' st udent s will fo llow. If a student doesn't abide by the code, the n he is disciplined . Outmoded Regulations That is hardly a pl us for the student body , and it hardly ma b s the Judicial Co un cil one either. The guidelines und er which the coun cil now operates are outmoded and made the coun cil into a backward and outdated disciplinary board . Gran,ted , the Judicial Council should act as a disciplinary board if any damage occurs to the college, to personal property or to any people within the college community. It should also be able to determine whether or not to act as a disciplinary board if students are involved in problems with law enforcement bodies. But , does the college need to operate under the se outmoded regulation s fo r student con du ct? l do n't think so. The entire body of regulations should be repla ced by one simple stateme nt: " Students are e xpec t ed to resp ect th e rights a nd properties o f othe rs . Any action to the contrary may precipitate ac tion on the part of th e college. Also , any involvement with the law enforcement bodies which indicates possible detrimental effects to the college may be cause for action ." This vague statement guards the college's interests and still allows leeway for students. As an example, drinking is currently prohibited in the dormitories. It still goes on, but there is always the possibility that State Construction Spending Cu,t; New Academic Revisions Meet With Little Success " However.

A motion to have the case moved to San Diego, one of the mosl reactionary counties in Califo rnia, took f ive months to defea t.

(Continued on Page 12) Exchanging Views Education System May Suffer College and university administrators are divided over the meaning of Governor Shapp's recent hint that he would try to prevent the building of previously authorized high e r education projects in order to control state construction spending.

Area Expansion With the change in these regulation s, the Judicial Council would be more student-o riented and consequently more effective. But this is only a start. The entire scope of the Judicial Co uncil should be expanded to other areas. The Judicial Council should be a body capable of striking down or upholding rules of the Administration a~d of student government. This is a broad, vague statement which, in essence, seems to allow students to contradict any by Gary Homing To reflect upon the "college radicals" of both the past and present is admittedly of little interest here at Wilkes . The tone of college life across the country has become more subtle since Kent State and merits some insight as to why more and more colleges and universities throughout the country have hit the books instead of the system . Of even more importance though , is the rebirth of an aggressive revolutionary movement . In an excerpt from the Washington report : The Revolutionary Union : America's "Red Guard," Dr. William Lambie reviews a revolutionary party that might very weU pose a threat to the American System. The Revolutionary Union emerged into public view in 1969 when a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter described it in the following term s. "A forerunner to a proposed revolutionary party, the Revolutionary Union membership is comprised of as-elect group of Marxist-Maoist leaders from within the underground Red Guard, the Students for a Democratfr Society, the Resistance , the Progressive Labor Party and similar communist-dominated groups." It is indeed interesting to note that rather than dying a slow death , the revolutionary parties in the United States have become more sophisticated, dedicated and _deadly. Further insight into the group leads to information surrounding its means of attaining power : Though we at Wilkes College are seemingly sheltered from this complete disregard for the rights and desires of others, it does not mean . such will -be the case when we, as- college graduafes, ascend from Wyoming Valley and are suddenly confronted with the realities of the outside world. My question is, how do we counter the efforts of groups like the RU if they grow strong enough to present a threat to American Society? The question has been asked time and again by many concerned groups, the most noteworthy being a special congressional committee oµ internal security• Two former members of the RU revealed that they wei·~ trained in the use of firearms arid explosives, relying on both communi~t and U.S. Army training manuals. They also said that the RU was the prime mover last year behind a violent demonstration when President Nixon appeared in San Jose. A motorcade carrying Nixon was stoned during the incident. · • · These facts magnify the threat such groups now present to society . The Weathermen fo r instance claim responsibility for the recent bombings in the United States Capitol. The follow ing excer pt from Dr. Lambie's article makes som e worthwhile observation s of revolutionary groups in general. Just as society need not ·- in fact, can not - tolerate the violent act of the revolutionary, neither can it tolerate the claim that the "conscience" of the individual is higher than the law, for whatever reason . This is bu t a sophist's definition of anarchy . Neither can society tolerate such action as that of Dr. Robert D. Cross, president of Swarthmore CoUege who threatened college employees with disciplinary action if they cooperated with the FBI in solving the burglary of the FBI'~ Media, Pa. , resident agency . This is no more than the code of the underworld. Our society will survive in spite of its weaknesses and deficiencies from which it suffers from time to time. We know that most of us are dedicated to their correction. This is in the very essence of our political syStem . What threatens our society is the revolutionary exploitation of these weaknesses and deficiencies through the violent methodology of the criminal ideologue. Pe rhaps Stanford's President Lyman , faced with furth er dest ruction of campus buildings and scholarly work , has - and perhap s Swarthmore's President Cross should - take a leaf from the book of the Warden of England's Wadham College , Oxford. As printed by the Wall Street Journal, the Warden wrote a Jetter on behalf of college Fellows to a group of students who had presented a list of "non-negotiable demands ." It said: "Dear Gentlemen: We note your threat to take what y ou call 'direct (Continued on Page 12) �THE BEACON March 9, 1972 Page 5 WILKES PLAYS RO LE BIBLICAL· PRODUCTION Three well-known personalities within Wilkes College will be taking leading roles in th forthcoming presentation at First Presbyterian Church of the 14th century Chester miracle play on "Nove's Fludde."

Those who have really gotten to know Harry will agree that he's an all-around guy, fun to be with , easy to talk to , and most of all he 's reliable. One of the surprising things about Harry is the fact that you neve r quite know where you'll run into him, or exactly what is going to happen next. The first time I ever met Harry was at a Junior Class sponsored Christmas Party for Underprivileged children in the Commons. We literally ran into one another as we were attempting to get the children settled. The fact struck me at that time that he really does care about people , children and life in general. We had an interesting conversation that afternoon, when the children would allow us a free minute , but I was able to learn a great deal more just through observation. He didn't have to say that he was interested in people,his actions proved it. He didn 'thave to say that he loved life, It showed in his personality. I didn't have to be told he was involved with Wilkes events; later actions proved it. Within a short time I discovered that I wasn't the only one who had that impression of Harry. The student body had proved its confidence in him by electing him Student Government Treasurer, and his activities on the Student Government in general showed a deep concern and a desire to improve campus organizations. At a recent Student Government meeting, Harry was able to sound off about the general lack of student involvement. I could sympathize with him, as the lack of concern is apparent at all levels throughout the campus. He has a lot of innovations, and the desire to see them carried through. The only problem is the usual lack of support from students. They have a way of demonstrating some interest at the very beginning. This interest soon begins to fade, and fade until it reaches oblivion. But even this lack of support hasn't dampened Harry's spirits in any way. His sense of humor has helped many a crisis situation and his way of understanding has also added to the overall picture. The Commons, or more often the library are familar hide-outs for Harry , as friend and foe alike soon learn. Wednesday evenings are usually occupied with Student Government meetings, and now Harry enters the realm of Student teaching. I sincerely hope that Harry's future students don't give him as hard a time as he managed to give members of his education class who were tested as teachers in simulated classroom situations. It wasn't quite fair, but everyone took Harry's classroom antics in the proper spirit - until the time came for Harry to be put into the spotlight. Then he got a lot of his own medicine. Lots of luck Harry! WCLH-Wilkes College Radio-90. 7 On The FM Dial-Schedule For March TIME 6 :00 6:15 Mon. Tue. Wed. Thu.

The editorial staff of the Beacon would like to take this opportunity to put certain members of the Wilkes College family in the spotlight for the excellent job they have been doing throughout the year in a joint effort to make Wilkes a_truly dynamic college. Throughout the year complaints have been voiced on campus, concerning issues such as visitation, the library and a student union center. A majority of students can sit back after they have voiced their opinion and then wait for the necessary action to be taken. They see the results, often oblivious of the time and effort required on the part of students, faculty and Administration . • Wilkes College President Francis J.

NOTICE The New Free University presents: Dr. Judah Shapiro, scholar from New York, leading a discussion on minorities tonight, Darte 101, . approximately 8: 30. ** heap*** rhrills " College students are a good-natured , hard-working, fun -lo ving bunch of kids. Oh, sure they do some crazy things]ike swallow goldfish , wear those shaggy raccoon coats , scream at fo otball games and stuff themselves into phone boo ths. But for the most part , college students are good natured, hard-working and fun-loving." That may h ave been an accurate description of the college students o f 50 years ago when things were the Cat's Meow rathe r than Right On, but tl}e riew image of the unive rsity student has him doing somewhat different'things than in the days of the Varsity Drag. '(oday the student does other "crazy " things. He swallows hallucinogenic drugs rather than goldfish, wears hippie clothes, screams at demonstrations, and stuffs himself into an occasional university administrator's office. Today's American college students are in dire need of a good public relations firm . It's in the eyes of - those allegedly Concerned Citizens that the student image is a tainted one , mutilated by magazine covers screaming out about the Student Revolution ( exploiting covers that often are more revolting than the Revolts themselves) and even more distorted by one-sided television coverage that shows only the student revolution , but never the evolution. The medium is the mess. Newspapers , radio and, especially, television have given the peo ple of America an even more distorted picture of what the Ty-pica! Today Student is like. The emerging sterotype is the raggedy-coifed revoluntio nary-radical , endlessly partaking in various .school-spirited activities - bombing , seizures , strikes, pillage , and a little arson on the side. In his spare time , he downs dope, sleeps promiscuously in coed dorms, dresses outlandishly and that's that. The media displays (and displays and displays and instant replays) only his demonstration behavior, which might very well be out of context. He might be a medical student with honor grades who loves mother, dates a Sensible girl, attends church, has a good part-time job, loves apple pie , and in all other ways fulfills the All-American dreams. But the 6 o'clock news never shows that part of him. People are frightened by the student movement scared and acrii:nonious. The values they've held sacred, the goals they've strived toward suddenly are being threatened - by their own children . The result is panic. In a nation - wide poll taken last spring, the campus unrest problem ranked number one - even over war, ecology , racial strife, poverty and crime. Spring is the season in which they take place . Spring - when e very young student's fa ncy turns to revolution, when a fresh hot anger of the U . S. po pulace sitting by their TVs coun ting the RPMs. And they aren 't exactly sitting there watching nothing. Last year 1,785 demo nstratio ns took place on college campuses, including 3 13 building seizures and sit-ins, 28 1 anti-ROTC demonst rations, 246 arsons and 7,200 student arrests , resulting in more than $9.5 million in damage . Television brought all the damage, fire , seizures, sit-ins right into our living rooms , in living red , white , black and blue color. The Student Radical could have been the title of a highly successful , action-packed , situation TV show aired in lieu of the news every evening. The new student portrait is detrimental to the student himself - making all students appear alike , depersonalizing them, castrating individuality and sprouting new prejudices in a world already too full of biases. Yet the new student image can not be as bad as college trustees and university regents might fear. A sit-in is more socially provocative and meaningfully profound than swallowing a goldfish. Discontented students sit in and take over because they are concerned with values that affect the total society, not just themselves. It's the cause which is so improtant. But television shows only the superficial outcome of the student fight for that cause - the rioting , the sea of straggly students, the hurled rocks, the four-letter words . The bloody , fighting , hell-raising revolutionary student image could be - if not changed , at least altered - if the media could make the public aware of the issues behind the fight. _Struggles for ecology , an end to racism , equal rights , community control and the finish o f an unjust war are not difficult issues for the public to relate to . However , they get lost in the color and dramatics of the televised college demonstrations , which always come out looking like television Fellini orgy rather than a concerned· and optimistic fight for a better American future. College students wouldn't really need a PR outfit to help change their image if people could grasp the importance of the cause behind the fight. The Middle American couple sitting in front of their new color TV no longer can afford to angrily turn off the 6 o'clock news of student protest and switch the channels to a war movie or an Old John Wayne film. The channels that must be switched are the channels of communication, and what could emerge would not be a new student image at all, but a new national image basecj. u pon a new understanding. 50,000 JOBS *· SUMMER EMPLOYMENT - - CAREER OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS March 12 Art Exhibit - Joanne Wargo and John Kozick Conyngham Gallery - March 12-18 Senior Recital - ~ulie Levoy - Darte Hall - 3 :30 p.m. March 13 Film - "Hunger in America" Misericordia - Kennedy Lounge - 7:30 p.m. March 14 Chorus·concert - Richard Probert , Director - CPA - 8 :30 p.m. Beacon Meeting - Shawnee Hall - 11 a.m. Film - "Nazarene" - King's College Auditorium - 8 p.m. _ Class Elections March 15 Woodwind Quintet - William Weber , Director Darte Hall - 8:30 p.m. The National Agency of Student Employment Has Recent ly Completed a Nationwide Research Program Of Jobs Available To College Students And Graduates During 1972.

The Free Uni"'.ersity at Wilkes has a specific type of "curriculum," - consisting of seminars directly concerned with Jewish culture . Seminars include Jewish identity in literature, the development of Israel, con versa ti O n a I Heb r t w , philosophical perspectives in Judaism , personal growth and interaction, Hasidism an d a discussion of making it as a Jew in a dominant cultu re.

Well, they just had a little too much material - and that's no fabrication. The Quaker City quintet's 89-72 vanquishing of Coach Rodger Bearde's Colonels in the first round of the Northern Division MAC playoffs came as a surprise to no one. Five men tallied in double figures for the 19-6 Textile Club (top seeded in the tournament)" including Bill Banks with 26 and Ed Swift with 18. What came though as a surprise, the mystique of which had not worn off from nearly a week before, was the fact that Wilkes had battled their way to a tournament berth, and more surprising yet, did quite well in their playoff debut, and against the tournament's supposed best. The Colonels mustered three double-figure efforts in the persons of Dave Kurosky's ro (an impressive close to an illustrious career), Greg O'Brien's 15, and Greg Buzinski's 18 and at one point led the Philly five 12-7. Then Textile began a furious weave and by intermission had produced a comfortable 48-37 hiatus in the score. The battle for field goals was tight with Textile nipping the Colonels 32-30, but it was the Philadelphia's "foul line phcnomenals" who changed the game's complexion as they connected on 25 of 27 while the Blue and Gold were 12 of 15.

The sage was right in the respect that without Clarence "Clance" Ozgo to fire the outlet pass from the defensive boards on the fast break , the Colonel cager offense isn't always quite its spirited self. A 6-4 freshman forward, Ozgo is the team's second leading rebounder, right behind stalwart Dave Kurosky, and is now averaging 12 points a game on the season after having seep only limited duty in the early part of the campaign. A native of Plains, Clarence attended Coughlin High School where he participated in football and track and averaged 17 points a game in basketball. He was also a member of the National Honor Society and , as a senior, was named to the All-Scholastic second team. Clancy's greatest sports' moment came last year when he was selected to play on the East squad in the four-team Wyoming Valley All-Star Tournament. His team copped first-place laurels in the tourney. Because he felt that Wilkes afforded him more opportunities, he selected Wilkes over Bloomsburg It was a bouncy up and down season for the Colonel cagers who concluded their season at 12-12.

Her most memorable sports moment came in one of those chami;,ionships when her team was leading by one point with one second to go and the girl whom she was covering launched a 50 foot desperation shot that found the net and cost Kathy's team a fourth championship. Kathy is an extremely involved individual who gets bored doing nothing. Her Wilkes activities besides sports, include Executive Council member for her freshman and sophomore years, vice-president of the so phomore class, Letterwomen 's Club, Beacon writer and Cherry Blosst> m Committee. During summers she has worked as a camp co unselor, has helped underprivileged children and has been involved in Pw ject Head Start. Among her rather amazing hobbies , Kathy lists huskie breeding, and collecting and refinishing antiques. A social science and urban affairs major, Kathy's future plans are to enter into the radio a nd TV divisions of the field of public relations. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Davies and has three brothers (Cliff, Joe, and Jim) and a sister, Judy.

The second reason was announced as being their "patriotic duty." Forests Poisoned The long-term effects and dangers of these chemicals do not seem to be considered. The jungles, which are very diverse eco systems , and mangroves, which are a tree family, are the most widely sprayed areas. Martinez noted that repeated spraying causes nutrient dumping and depletion of the soil , plus invasion of bamboo and othe r grasses. The herbicides kill the mangrove trees, there is no regeneration, even in five or six years. Most of the other trees when sprayed lost their leaves and they remain bare . There is af proximately 10 per cent refoliation , the rest die . Up to 80 per cent of the jungle trees are completely destroyed. and this loss of timber is a great detriment to the economy. Sixty per cent of Vietnam used to be forest. The Department of Defense estimates that 20 per cent of these forests have been wiped out. This figure only includes areas that they have intended to bomb or defoliate. It does not include the damage from drifting of spray , run-off, leaking or agent blue. In that light, it is somewhat of a conservative estimate.

We at no time intended that our viewpoint be a personal attack on Howie Tune and we regret that the Beacon's headline, "President Comes Under Fire," inferred this. Indeed, Howie Tune is not 21 people, therefore his organization should become more active as S.G. representatives. · Joel Fischman h AuerbBalcasted To the editor: In last week-'s Beacon, Lee Auerbach launched a blatant attack on Ross Piazza, Joel Fischman and myself questioning the authentic_ity of statements made by Us relatmg to the activities of Student Government in the past semeS ter. I would like to take this opportunity to answer the asinine queS t ions he addressed to me. Mr. Auerbach accused me of making deliberate and erroneous statements in rega rd to the following statements. Let's examine the facts. In the Beacon on February 17 I did state that not a single pi;ce of major legislation w~s passed by Student Government m the first semester. Mr. Auerbach refutes my statement, citing several pieces of legislation for which he was responsible and labeled them major legislation. Acco rd ing to him, he was responsible for a revision of the Activities Fee Fu nd _ He did not revise it. A· re\lision would indeed be a piece of, major legislation, an amendment is•not for several reasons. As one of th e original authors of the Activitifs Fee Fund, I see no major changes 10 , the policy statements ·of th e original proposal. In addition,.... Student Government President Howie Tune and I were the authors of the first amendment to th e Activities Fee last year and f personally feel that such an amendment could not be considered a major piece of legislation. Next Auerbach attempts to establish his voting reform proposal as a major piece of legislation. f must seriously question his judgment on this score. Last year a voting procedure proposal was presented by Al Pellegrini which as it stands now is still in effect. In a few words, Mr. Auerbach's proposal is not currently being used. therefore, it appears as though you have made a false statement in claiming the voting procedure proposal as a piece of your own legislation. Finally this Auerbach-Jadelis proposal to revamp the College's grading system has run into considerable difficulty. Indeed, the proposal which is divided into two sections saw section one tabled and section two defeated at last week's Student Government meeting. Therefore, after examining the facts, it becomes quite clear that your proposals do not even come cl~se to being classified as maJor legislation. I suggest that if you are looking for a major piece of legislation to concentrate your efforts on why not assist both the members of Student Government and I.D.C., with getting the pending Women's Visitation -Proposal passed. If twisting words and phrases to suit one's own purposes were an art, Page 5 Mr. Auerbach, you would be a master. According to you I did not present\ an accurate picture of the poll as was taken. Well, Mr. Auerbach, I suggest you re-read our article of February 17, 1972. "Our purpose was not to question the by Charles Reichers poll's accuracy" as you contend, At a recent Inter-Dormitory "but its validity."

Remember the Champion's big game Tuesday , March 7, at 7:30 p.m. and the Second Annual All-Star Game Thursday , March 9, at 7:30 p.m. Bowling Intramural Bowling this week saw the Froshmore upset Slocum 4-0 , while the second place Juniors dominated Gore 3-1. Dirksen acquired four easy wins by default of 130 West River and the Priapus Japs maintained the league lead as they drew the bye. The Froshmore have added a new member to their team in Cheryl Bennett. The novelty of females bowling is catching on rapidly and there is a possibility of admitting more . High man for the Froshmore was captain Walt Thompson with scores of 167-4 78. Taking home the honors for the losers was Skip Hess with a 160-414. Top gun for the ever threatening Juniors was Gene Skrynski with highs of 165-457. Once again it was Howie Rifkin high man with scores of 176-474. COWARD'S CORNER (From Page 6) Right again, Steveroo, although untested against quality opposition the Devil's advocates led· by Dean Russeller, John Mazzolla and John Pisano play as if the Devil were on their side. On to number nine and Slocum "A" featuring Lynn White and Tom Page. Not to mention that expert at passing (OFF), Jeff Giberson . I thought you eren't going to metion him, Coward . After all, he is fro m a different sport.. At the bottom of the top ten is Math Club led by Kim Buckland. 11 Coward, I don't know how these boys do it, but they sure make the points add up and usually in their favor. Well, Stellar, that about wraps it up for this week except for my prediction that Moc Maulers will again be the Champs of the IBL. 'Til next week, Coward. 'Til then, Stellar, and so-long, Dandy Don , wherever you are. To Th e Ed i tor To the editor: Intramural basketball is probably orte of Wilkes College's finest programs. It brings out the spirit of competition and the desire to win . This is the fun of the game. Unfortunately, last Thursday night the spirit and the fun of the game were ruined by the immaturity of only two players. Also, unfortunately, they are members of the Wilkes College faculty . As a team the faculty is one of the best in the IBL. It was a very physical game , and both teams played to their limit. In the second period , while pulling down a rebound, I accidentally hit teacher " A" (as I'll call him) in the head with my elbow. Before I even had a chance to apologize I found myself being pushed and threatened by a clenched fist. I could only laugh at his temper. Suddenly teacher B said that if I didn't wipe the smile off my face he would break me in half. These are supposed to be responsible members of the faculty and I always believed that they were suppo'sed to set an example to the students, both in and out of the classroom. The example they set for me in that game reminded me only of an ill-tempered fourteen-year-old. In all fairness to the faculty the majority of their team fine men and enjoy playing basketball against the students. A certain doctor in the histroy department even came up to me after the game and apologized for the actions of his other two teammates. I did not write this letter for sympathy. The Faculty deserved to win the game , and on the whole are a fine group of men. However, the immaturity displayed by these two players proved only to give the faculty as well as the IBL an undesrved black eye. I only hope that ' they will be able to learn the gift of restraint . from their teammates.

Since the beginning of the season, the Wilkes Wo men Junior Varsity Basketball team has progressed to an unbelievable level of skill. Through the watchful eyes of Coach Sandra Bloomberg, improvement in individual, as well as total team playing, can be seen. , Starting with 15 girls at the beginning of January, 11 dedicated players remain. Each having the desire to learn and to perfeq the skills that they have been taught . , Having suffered one heartbreaking loss to Luzerne and two to College Misericordia, the Cagettes rallied back to score two decisive victories over Albright College and Susquehanna University. Leading the scoring for he Colonelettes in the past five games is Denise Chapura with 40 points, followed by Bonnie Cole 32; Donna Doncses , 27; Debbie Flitcraft and Debbie Wysocki with 14 and 11 points respectively. Defensively Bonnie Cole and Debbie Wysocki led in he rebounding department. Commenting on the games, Coach Bloomberg stated that co-captain, Denise Chapura played an excellent all-round game against Susquehanna U. While in other • contests, Debbie Flitcraft performed well against Albright and Donna Doncses displayed outstanding ability against the "Highlanders" of Miser co rdia . Additional support offered by Joan Shepard , Molly Moran , Linda Holonia , Angela Centrella, Ilene Gelb , and Jane Molinini enables Miss Bloomberg to substitute when needed . With three contests remaining, the women hope to conclude their season with a 5-3 record. By all indications this will become a reality due to the spirit and willingness to win .

A few weeks ago I was just that lucky. It was a quiet day, kind of warm; one of those days that lets you know that spring isn't so very far away, and my winter restlessness took me to Kirby Park. As I walked along I noticed an old man just a little ahead of me. He was small and bent civer (from years of carrying the world on his shoulders? I wondered). When I caught up with him he seemed lost in thought, and we walked together for several moments wrapped in the silence of the empty park. He spoke to me in a low quiet voice. We talked about the beauty of solitude and the need for a time to be alone with the only real honesty in the world - nature. • · I felt compelled to listen to this man, to see if years and wisdom can really be equated. I was soon to become very appreciative of the time I spent with him. He told me of a different world, one that lacked the freedom and frenzy of ours, and within his nostalgia was an acceptance of change. He told me of a different sort of young people, with their own set of goals, their own hopes and fears. He spoke of war and depression in a way that separated him from most old people. Yes, the years have bent him a litt\e , and he has seen much ugliness and sorrow, but he looked at me , at my generation, with a compassion and understanding that I had doubted the old possessed. "You young people have a deep spirit within you that won't allow you merely to accept things, a spirit that causes you to rebel against the wrongs that you see." Then he smiled, and said, "You see, I remember. My youth was spent in a different time, and my concerns were necessarily less idealistic and more practical. But I remember questioning my parents and my teachers, and when at a very early age I was thrust into the 'cold, hard world,' there was so much I wanted to change. "The war was something that not too many of us disagreed with. That is one thing that separates our generations now. The situations were - , different, something that we (meaning the older generation) tend to forget. "But I came back a changed man. Maybe it seems too dramatic to say that after fighting in a war I could never be quite the same, but that's the way it was. I was taught to hate. I was taught to kill. It's very hard to Jove after spending two years killing people before they can kill you. "That is why I look to today's youth in a very special way . I want you to love your country, but I hope that you will never stop questioning its leaders. It becomes very easy after a while to hate. You young people are talking about love. Sometimes that is even harder to do, and I admire your attempts." He then talked about education, and I received another insight into the uniqueness of this man. For so many of his generation, college w.is just an unattainable dream. The fact that he finished high school probably says more for him than my three years at Wilkes ·can say for me. Trying to compensate for his lack of formal education, the old man read all he could. Perhaps reacting to his war experiences, he developed a great interest in history and politics. Now, when most people his age are content to enjoy the relaxation of retirement, he is taking courses toward a degree in history. "I have no illusions of ever using the degree, if I finish, but just being able to take college courses is enough. Being with young people has given me an entirely different outlook. "I can no longer condemn the actions of youth. I sympathize with their frustrations and confusion, and I admire their concern." As I said, it was a quiet day, kind of warm; and one of those days I will remember for a long time.

I Wilkes Hosts Applicants Students, faculty and Administration combined in a joint effort last weekend to acquaint prospective freshmen and their parents with the various aspects of college life, in spite of inclement weather conditions. The only changes in the weekend's itinerary were the cancellation of sports events and the rescheduling of most events in the main dining hall. The changes did work out for the best, however, providing everyone with a most informal opportunity to exchange views and literally get to know one another. The olic of the colle e has alwa s been one of ersonal contact and involvement.

(See related pictures on Page 1) Dear Dr. Reif, You've pro bably come to the conclusion by now that either I don't exist or that the United States Postal system works in only one direction - from you to me. It's easy to see that even if I were to write a letter every day, fro m now until the end of the school year, I wouldn't be able to answer all the letters you have written concerning the BEACON. The lack of response is not a reflection on you, personally, but a realistic attitude toward time. With the paper's schedule and the time I have to devote to other things, the idea of writing so many responses is somewhat frightening. You are one of the few people on campus who does write some constructive criticism of the paper, instead of passing comments in the commons or cafete ria without any backing. When I listen to comments about the paper, one of the most frequently heard expressions is "nobody reads it." If no one reads the paper, then how can they find so much to criticize? Recently we have covered several sides of an issue concerning the student governing bodies. It seems as if the chronic complaint about not covering the campus has turned to one of covering it too well . It's a newspaper's role to report the facts , and it also has an obligation in some respects to interpret those facts. · In many ways it's a good sign when people start questioning - it means they are reading, analyzing and best of all, thinking. But they also have to keep one thing in mind - everyone has the same right, and even though it might not be in agreement , the paper also has the obligation to print the opposite side. In your last letter you mentioned that I refer to politics as if it were a dirty word . Perhaps to me it is. Politics has taken on a special meaning for me, and in every sense of the word , the interpretation is not good. People playing the game of politics as I see it, take advantage of their position in order to put pressure on others. In this sense our entire way of life , even here at Wilkes, has become a game of cat and mouse. Very few people are willing to step out and be heard, because they realize that they will have to suffer the consequences. Yet it is perfectly all right to sit back and expect the paper to take a stand. We DO make very definite stands regarding key issues, and the pressure is"often exerted, but not by the Administration as some might think, but by faculty and student body members. I'd like to be able to sit back, gazing through tinted glasses, believing that politics, as such, do not exist at Wilkes, that everyone is honest and that freedom of speech could be exercised without fear of the consequences. Unfortunately, this is not so. , Part of the role of any newspaper is to call 'the shots as we see them , but I still have a hard time justifying the send1!1g out of a reporter on an assignment , when I know if the article is worde.it the wrong way , he might ·suffer for it personally. One thing never ceases to puzzle me, how can we become a voice of the student body , if the students themselves are not willing to talk? Time and time again we have made the plea for students to come to the office and contribute their time and efforts to constructive production, but very few have actually exerted the energy to do so. Anyone who has asked to have a viewpoint or article printed will testify to the fact that we have not in the past, nor will we, ever attempt to censor any material that comes fro m any member of the Wilkes College campus, unless it falls under the realm of libel. In fac t many are pleasantly surprised at the coverage. In closing, I would like to thank you fo r your continued interest in the BEACON. Maybe it can spread, and eve n infect some of the _students and other faculty members.

Met with a slight -drawback, they revised and rewrote the proposal until it contained material that was agreeable to both the Administration and the student body. Student leaders dealing with the Administration and their fellow students are caught in a difficult situation, which is something many people don't realize. The dilemma· of reporting back to the students they are representing, and yet being in a position of confidence with the administration for certain matters, is no small headache. Pagliaro, Tune and others have handled this very well. The final decision concerning the proposal has not yet beE?n made, but any decision can in no way demean the quality and amount of work which was put into its construction. Com~ic Ballet Closes Down Our hats go off to the maintenance crew for the excellent job they did this past weekend on snow removal. Saturday morning, before many of us were out of bed, members of the crew were out cleaning the sidewalks, as more snow came down. The next day, walks and paths were being cleared entirely of ice and further acgumulations of snow. In man;y ways the positiol'I of being a member of the maintenance crew is a thankless job. Everyone comments when the job isn't done, but when the /1 job is don, proficiently, no one says anything. The job of maintenance, even on a college campus the size of Wilkes, involves qtlite a bit of little odd jobs, and a lot of running around. With old buildings, ;there is always something going wrong, from light bulbs burning out to·· majpr leak~ in pipes. When we see something wrong on campus, it is,part of our responsibility to comment on it, but at the same time, it's also well to take note of a job 1 wel I done. ' FESTIVAL WEEKEND/Fram Page 2/building their own booth and can .SG VIEWS VISITATION Also among the tentative plans is a "Little Miss Cherry Blossom" contest. King's has announced that they will hold an Aquacade. With regard to the Wilkes Carnival, Mariani wishes to invite all clubs, classes and campus organizations to trunk of a booth or any other carnival activity they would like to hold. This is an excellent way to make money for clubs, according to Mariani. The group will be responsible for spend a maximum of $15. More information will be available at a later date concerning the booths. Committee members from Wilkes are: Frances Kuczynski, Jim Fiorino, Josie Schifano, Carole Lowande, Pete Jadelis, Kathy Davies, Mike Daney, Joel Fischman, Judy Walsh and Harry Bielecki. The advisor is Dean Moss. The Clean Environment Committee is also working on a project for the weekend. (From Page 2) permitted to attend the upcoming rock concert. It was also hinted that this would mean the use of the Kingston Armory despite its miserable accoustics. Bielecki reported that $183 was Jost on the last SG sponsored dance. And Publicity Chairman Mike Barski explained that an error on his posters for the Turnau opera was because, "that's how it was printed in the Beacon." Mr. Jack Holt would like to know how many students would be interested in a reduced fare for Wilkes-Barre Transit Buses. The 35 cent fare would be reduced to 25 cents if there is enough interest. Anyone interested may direct their questions and/or approval to Dean James Moss, Second Floor, Weckesser Hall. -------------------------·r---~~;-;~;.-.._. _. _. I. BEAf~ON 1- To the editor: The document "A Report to the Committee of Student Life" was not conceived by, nor in any way connected to, the Student Government or Inter-Dormitory Council. It amazes me that Messrs. Daney, Fischman and Piazza espoused such an argument, especially since nowhere in · the report is an affiliation mentioned, not even after the names of the authors. The students who worked on the poll and report, even those of us who do hold an office, did so only because of an interest in the issues presented. The hope was to give the Student Government and IDC a base to begin reforms by telling, in quantitative terms, what the students want. Since the report was written, a visitation proposal has been submitted, an ad hoc administrative committee has been formed to look into the phys.ed. program; there hiis been a rebirth of concern about parking and new guidelines - for dropping courses have been instituted. Now in the planning stages are proposals for final immunity, revised grading, pass-fail courses in some non-major subjects and a day-student council similar to the IOC. Although some of these programs are a long way from final adoption, I am still quite ~.~cour~ed ~~ r~s~.Its .of ~s illegal _and mval1d report. It is now the JOb of SG: an~ I~ to try' .< thro~gh further leg1slation, . to alle~at~ ~me ~f ~e other pomts of imtabon mdicated by the students. I would hope that Messrs. Daney, Fischman a~d Pia:za will devote some of then considerable energies and acumen to work on ... the issues and forget about who sanctioned the · report that brought these issues to the surface. I also feel, as do many others, that the attack on Howie Tune was entirely out of place on the Beacon's front page. I fully acknowledge the right to express opinion, but to put what would have been a letter to the editor under the facade of "Viewpoints" is, at best, unethical. Coupled with the headline, "President Comes Under Fire," the letter became an insult to Mr. Tune. I hope that the Beacon confines further "Viewpoints" to the editorial page or the page opposite it. The Beacon should stop using its resources to fuel the obvious feud between its· editors, Fischman and Tune. To continue, it can only destroy student interests.

BEACON Phone - (717) 824-465 I, Ext. 263 PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS ~,. ~ February 24, 1972 THE BEACON Page 4 completely turned off to the idea of education. There are faculty members on this campus who are unable to communicate with the students ,'"" because of language barriers; , faculty members who art!! exceedingly bored with theit' students and many who are poorly qualified to teach even in their fields of knowledge. Very often it is not the teacher's fault for breeding , a poor educational environment. Holding a class in Parrish Annex witli a group of 40 students is not an exactly appropriate environment, since the noise from downstairs and tl: soft-spoken instructor make it 10 times harder to become involved in a 45-minute lecture. Along with all of the social changes that this school vitally needs, I feel that a few academic interest$ might be proposed an, initiated before this school bree mediocracy and boredom. I ~ truely interested in whateve happened to the faculty evaluation program that was discussed last year. Perhaps something can be done about the final priority of an instructor to issue a grade to a student. If the student feels that he has been given an unfair grade, he has almost no chance for ,reconsideration, since t he•instrt?cto · has the privilege of total cohfrol over the grades issued:" This is disgustirig and there should be some kind of appeal system. I feel that the academic 'program of Wtlkes needs consideration for the conditions under which· classes are held and an evaluation program of the faculty. · b Sinterely ,i...,. Carole Lowande Cresta Asks: · Whose Voice? : To the editor: Let me start off by saying that "your" paper ·is a poor representation of the Wilkes student body. I stress the word "your" because the Beacon is most certainly not "ours." Instead of emphasizing your energy on the problems that confront us , you either ignore them or you condemn rniniscule aspects of proposals, staying clear of taking a stand on major issues. For example, the Beacon spent its time cithe c condeming small errors or questioning the legality of an excellent report presented by Mr. Tune. Again you avoided taking a stand. I further believe it is a disgrace to those attempting to make those needed reforms to be branded as "radicals" by Miss Bednar. Since when are equal rights for women radical? Wake up Miss Bednar and look beyond those walls at Shawnee Hall. Did you ever think that you have a responsibility as the voice of the Wilkes student? Your paper no more fills this necessity than it did under Miss Klaproth , and that's pretty bad. You have the nerve to condemn President Tune's administration for lack of action. Well, people of the Beacon what have you done? The last two administrations have finally tried to satisfy the student-1-s need for change. This change cannot happen overnight, �' February 24, 1972 the extreme actions of reformers. Reform is the only way that progress can be made.

Marietta Bednar THE BEACON Page 5 FIRST IN A SERIES V·ISITATION -POLICIES ON OTHER CAMPUSES by Gary Horning In my column of three weeks past, l pledged to pursue a series of case-in-points concerning dormitory visitation policies on other campuses. The following is the first of what will hopefully include several follow-up cases revealing what dormitory life is like elsewhere. To date, 35 institutions have been contacted in hopes of learning more about their respective policies. Included in the replies are not just days and hours of visitation, but student, faculty and administration views concerning the successes and failures of their programs as well as their inherent qualities and '.\·eaknesses. determined the hours for the different dorms, since the women on campus felt that they should have the same rights to determine their own hours as the men. This merged committee came up with a weak proposal designed to establish one visitation policy, which nobody particularly liked, anl the administration vetoed it. No further action has been taken by either the committee or the administration. The men are happy with their hours, the women wish to have more freedom to choose. The faculty is more or less apathetic about the whole thing. The administration has received some criticism from parents, and has made threats to place some limitation on visitation hours for men, but so far they have just been threats, designed to calm the parents, but no I cannot over-emphasu..e the fact . that when the action has been taken. requests were sent out, I had no idea whether half of 1 these institutions even had open housing on their So that's the mixed up situation here, and I hope it I would like Mr. Cresta to refer campuses.

SPORTS PRISM by Steve Jones At the start of the winter season it looked as though only an overdose of Cinderella magic could save Wilkes College from , one of its least victorious athletic campaigns. Coach John Reese's wrestlers, though unbeaten last season, had a whopping void to be filled where the graduation of four phenomenal seniors cast gray shadows for the 71-72 team's prospects. Commencement also robbed the Colonel cagers of four top-notch basketball players and to compound troubles the veteran players who did retur~ had to familiarize themselves with the techniques brought in by new Head Coach Rodger Bearde, and he likewise had to familiarize himself with his players' talents. For Coach Bob Corba's swimmers there was also uncertainty and doubt. Two years before, a near stigma automatically accompanied membership on the Wilkes swim squad. Last year the Colonel swimmers began to change that image by engineering one of their most productive seasons in history. They ended up with their first MAC individual champion in Doug Krienke and lost only two seniors to graduation. But just two weeks before the onset of this season they didn't even have a pool in which to hold their meets and they- had to borrow a high school pool six blocks from campus and swim at night for their practices. Team morale was ebbing. scores of 179-494. Dirksen had no trouble Then the dark clouds of pre-season speculation gave way to the bright contending with the newly formed co-ed team , Gore .

Guy Bess also chipped in unheralded rising through hard work to the ranks of "heralded." (Continued on Page 7) The mermen secured a home pool and team spirits and team numbers immediately got an adrenalin-like boost. The Colonels had a quite sturdy old regime of last year's veterans but they needed more . And they got it. Freshmen Doug Mason and Barry Rasmussen surpassed their expectations as did Jeff Giberson, Brian Finn, Dave Kowalek, Bill Miller, Bernie Ford and returnee Jim Phethean. The squad is now 3-0 in the MAC and one victory in their final three meets will give them the highest winning record of any aqua team in this institution's history. With discipline and enthusiasm, Coach Bearde appears to have assembeld a phoenix on what campus prognosticators saia would be a barren shelf.

Playing· before a "Parents' Day" crowd the following Saturday, the cagettes were again defeated - this time 43-25, by the Highlanders of Misericordia.

Elaine Swisloski came up with a season's high of I? rebounds. February 14, on the home court, 1 Wilkes lost a heart-breaking contest to Luzerne Community. In a game marked by several turnovers, the Colonelettes were holding a lead going into the fourth quarter . However, a series of fouls all within the last two minutes caused a three-point difference in favor o' Luzerne at the buzzer. Scoring in double figures was Kathy Davies, who pumped in 13.

P re se ntly the 150-pound sophomore has been working on "riding" which he feels will be beneficial to him in the upcoming MAC tournament. The difference between high school and college wrestling, according to Mike , is "the strength, experience and overall maturity of the individual wrestlers." Mike doesn't feel any individual win has been exceptionally pleasing to him but states that he was really ecstatic after the Colonel grapplers defeated Hofstra, by Jim Godlewski "Would you believe I never swam in high school?"

Invitations were sent out to high school seniors who had indicated an interest in Wilkes through applications. A list was then compiled and arrangements made to house interested students in dormitories. Prospective freshman weekend committee members, under the direction of faculty advisor John Whitby and student chairman Lee Auerbach have been hard at work fo r the past few weeks preparing a suitable itinerary which would serve to introduce the incoming freshmen and their parents to the various facets of life at Wilkes - social, academic and financial. Committee members Cyndy Marple, Mike Filipowski, Kathy Mansbery and Larinda Dyson have been working along with Dean Whitby and Auerbach to prepare a program which would give the future members of the Wilkes family a chance to take a first-hand look at the college campus. Students are invited to spend the weekend in a dormitory and participate in various conferences md social activities planned for the ·eekend.

Guided by the seamanship of SG President Howie Tune, IDC President Geb rge Pagliaro, Mark Paik in and Stephanie Pufko, the new visitation proposal will have the same policies as those of the men except sign-out sheets will be eliminated by both male and female dorms and closing hours will be extended one half hour to coincide with freshman women's curfew at 2:30 a.m. (These two decisions were later reversed when a revised proposal was drawn up.) Visitation hours on Sunday would also be extneded to 12 midnight; thus, weekend hours will read as follows: Friday - 5 p.m. 2;30 a.m. , Saturday - 12 noon to 2:30 a.m. and Sunday - 12 noon to 12 midnight . Visitation on week nights will be esta~lished by the individual dorms between the hours of 6 p.m. and 12 midnight. (These hours were also revised under the new policy. See SC-JDC story and the ~ print of the n_ew policy for correct times. J (Continued on Page 2) produced a rather controlled brand of discussion concerning the whys of the revision and its chances of passage. I.D.C. President George Pagliaro announced that the original proposal was revised from open dorms 24 hours a day, seven days a week to a more restricted version due to its limited chance of passage when acted upon by the Administration. This announcement evolved a great deal of conversation questioning whether the new proposal should have been drawn up at all. One student claimed that "if you ask for the world , they'll give you Hoboken ; but if you ask for Hoboken , they'll give you nothing." Student Government President Howie Tune disclosed that when he issued the original proposal to Dr. Michelini, the college president leaned back, laughed and asserted that consideration of such a proposal would be a waste of time . Thus the new , revised proposition was drawn up and fo rwarded to the students. It was decided that voting for dor~itory hours within the New Men's Dorm itself would be the result of a vote on the part of all persons residing within the unit to e limin ate possible time discr epancies between the (Continued on Page 12) President co·rnes Under Fire Recently a poll ~f student opinion was taken under the direction of Student Government President Howard Tune to determine what changes the students of Wilkes College would be interested in seeing on campus. No one could deny that serious consideration should be given to many of the areas touched upon in the poll. However , the Student Government poll has come under attack in recent days for not being an accurate gauge of student opinion. Our purpose is not to question the poll's accuracy - but its validity . According to Student Government's Rules of Order, no individual member of Student Government can commit the support of the organization to any action, project , idea, or proposal what-so-ever unless specifically charged to do so on a particular issue. After closely examining Student Government's minutes and consulting with several of its members, it becomes clear that Tune was not at any time delegated the power to take such a poll, which , as it now stands, is definitely invalid. In essence it does not speak for Student Government, the representative body of the students, but for Howie Tune and those six stude nts who worked with him . We would like to suggest not only that President Tune get approval from Student Government of his now illegal poll, but also in the future that he utilize the services of more members of Student Government, itself. We are not trying to discourage student participation in S.G. activities but are attempting to encourage a more active role oh the part of S.G. representatives in their own affairs. In examining S.G. minutes dating back to April of 1971 when Tune's administration took office, there has not been a single piece of maj or legislation passed. The obvious question is why has there been so little constructive action on S.G.'s part this year? The answer could very easily be in its own attendance figures . Since April of last year the attendance figure s have been dismal. Out of the 21 members of S.G., there are only eight who have not missed two or more meetings . Indeed, there are six members who at the end of the first semester have exceeded the number of absences allowed by either the S.G. Constitution, or Rules of Order . In fact there is one member who has already exceeded the allowed number of absences for the entire year. The Constitution reads "that three absences during a semester will require a secret ballot of the Government to determine whether or not the member should be dismissed and a vacancy created." Similarily the Rules of Order dictate "that absence from three regular meetings in any one semester shall constitute sufficient grounds for dismissal from Student Government." In looking at the poo r attendance figures one can easily see why nothing has been done thus far this year. The initial defense used is that the S.G . Constitution is antiquated and , therefore , is not closely adheared to by the Government. Indeed the Constitution is outdated , but then it can always be amended, or rewritten . But it appears to us as though it might be difficult to get an adequate number of_Student Government representatives in such a difficult task judging from its first semester record. Another line of defense for the individual government member is the demands placed upon them by other extra-curricular commitments. S.G .'s rules of order explicitly point out "that if any member's extra-curricular commitments are so heavy as to preclude attendance at three or more meetings per semester, then he might be better off without the responsibilities of representation on Student Government." Indeed, we feel that if any member fails through indifference to attend three or more meetings per semester , then S.G . would be better off without his or her representation. With the advent of the second semester it goes without saying that there will be a scurry of activity by S.G. members in an attempt to get the old ball rolling. In most cases we feel it 'won't be due to any sudden burst of interest in bettering the college, or student life , but in an attempt to get themselves re-ele cted. Judging from the absence of any activity in the first semester , it will be interesting to see what new and constructive ideas its members come up with before election time. Hopefully there will be some action taken on the constructive positions of Howie's poll or Student Government's poll. The tone for this year's Student Government has been set by its lack of activity from April to December. Hopefully the students will not be blinded by the second semester scramble of activity , and when the time comes in several weeks they will use discretion in whom they elect for next year. We feel that in many cases it is too late for redemption of many of its leaders and members . by Mike Daney, Joel Fischman, Ross Piazza �Page 2 February 17, 1972 THE BEACON FUTURE TEACHERS LISTED Undile Emphasis On Final Exams? · Pre-classroom briefings fof 43 elementary and 97 secondary school student teachers are currently being conducted by the Wilkes College Education Department in preparation for six to eight weeks of actual experience scheduled to begin next month . _ The future teachers received their assignments this month to elementary and secondary schools throughout the Greater Wyoming Valley Area.

The lessons were taught by Arlene Kunigel, a senior music education major at Wilkes College who recently completed her practice teaching in the nearby school. Miss Kunigel, blind from birth, has been deter ·ned throu hout er handicappedin other ways as well. on singing, iss unige mtro uce was totally su rprised when Arlene After a semester of student her pupils to solfeggio, · the cor rectly "discovered" him chewing teaching at the Harding School in application of the sol-fa syllables to gum, simply by using her especially the Wyoming Area District , she is the tones of the scale, to melodies sensitive hearing to · detect the more determined than ever to carry or other voice parts.

At first it seemed to be a sort of rock garden. In a later stage of construction it looked not unlike a motorcycle garage. The true nature of the beast was ul timately disclosed with the addition of several fifty-five gallon oil drums marked "green glass," "white glass," "brown glass," "aluminum" and "tin cans." It is , very definitely, the Wilkes College recycling center.

Arlene Patricia Kunigel is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kunigel , 727 Donnelly Street, Duryea. She is considering graduate school, but regardless of the amount of education she decides upon , teaching, particularly on the elementary level , maintains prime importance. As Arlene put it , " the entire purpose of teaching music could best be summed up by one girl who in rt:ply to a test question , 'Why are you studying music?' wrote, 'When I grow up I want to be a very good singer and get lots of money and be like David Cassidy'." Exchanging Views by Gary Horning With the recent drop in applications for admission to colleges and universities across the land, Wilkes must cSnsider its future relating not only to quality but quantity of prospective students. With this thought in mind, let us consider the incoming Freshman Weekend and its relevance to the future of our college. Friday's pilgrimage will feature many apprehensive, frequently naive students who, along with their parents will descend upon Wilke.s College to examine its inherent qualities. They will be preoccupied with the thought of how much this college offers the individual socially , academically and spiritually. Parents invariably pursue insight regarding the academic atmosphere of a particular college. They want to know what kind of an education their son or daughter will be offered , and righ tfully so. The students will invertibly seek out the social aspects of a particular college or university . It is here that Wilkes College will most certainiy encounter a snag . No, matter how much persuasive propaganda administrators of the college include in their addresses to these prospective students and their families , the student body of the college will have a picture of its own to paint. My hunch is purely speculative, but judging fro m student gossip or shop talk , these prospective Wilkes College freshmen will not leave our campus without first having seen all the colors in the spectrum. Visitation Proposal The problem once again boils down to the recent visitation porposal. The far-reaching aspects of the original proposition have been watered down beyond recognition and most students are disheartened if not embittered ." Even if the proposal is not acted upon by the Administration in time for the weekend's festivities, a "Resignation to Defeat" lingers in the minds of even the optimists, as few give it chance for survival. Thus it is easy to conclude that an incoming freshman , exposed to two evenings of dormitory life with people wl{o are acutely unhappy with their living environment will very likely take the option of going elsewhere. With tl;lis in mind , the Administration had best take much into consideration before acting upon visitation as well as several other high priority issues. A college's function is to educate , and the achievement of education is made easier and more productive in a relaxed environment conducive to consideration for the opinions of othe rs. · Finally, the main point to be put across in this column is that the Wilkes College family owes the incoming freshmen and their paren ts a brand of integrity rarely displayed in the field of recru itment. The Administration should enlighten these high school seniors to the student dissatisfaction on this cam pus and explain why a particular action was taken with regard to a specific issue, such as visitation . The student body should complement this effort with one of their own to describe what's right with Wilkes College . Giving these people the whole story should prove successful in the long run as a college freshm an will be getting what he bargained for when he or she arrives at Wilkes College next fall. �February 17, 1972 THE BEACON Proctor Finds Experience Rewarding by Mariea Barbella isn't in.

It is our hope that both the students and reason to realize that the maintenance crews _ the Administration will seek to under~tand do, in fact, have a very busy schedule, but t he pace they were working at is totally the problems and perogatives of the other unreasonable. There are quite a few walks on side. There are probably some inherent campus, and in most cases the only way problems within the visitation policy which certain dorms get their walks cleared is if they must be ironed out, and the students will have have considerate neighbors who are willing to to realize that many things must be taken into -consideration . do the job or lend them the equipment.

BEACON Phone - (717) 824-4651, Ext. 263 �THE BEACON February 17, 1972 Attendance At Lectures . Questioned To the editor : [ have been as ked by several citiz ns of Wyoming Valley to express their app rec iation to the members of the Wilkes College comm-u nity for providing the funds which enable them to take .,,':lc;lvan tage of attending such /excellent programs as that I presented on February Io , by Harrison Salisbury as part of the / College's Concert and Lecture Series. These individuals are very appreciative of the effort 'made by most students, faculty and Administrative people at the College to stay away from these programs and thus insu ring that approximately two-thirds of the J seating capacity of the auditorium be made available to them. J IR oe ome ................................................. Bielecki. Daney never retarded anyone else's efforts in an attempt to promote Fischman, if that is what you are suggesting. You ask us to applaud Mr. Tune for putting a kink in this "self-perpetuating system." Before anyone starts clapping, motives behind actions should be considered. Actions made in the best interest of the school are one thing. Personal or political moves which in the long run may hurt the school are quite another thing. Yes, your expose has raised a few questions in my mind. Some of these include _ how did Joel get picked for that important position last year? Why and who picked him? Why was Joel the only one to be introduced to the important people, the people "next year's ,chairman should know"? I can't help but picture an understanding between Messrs. Daney, Bielicki and Fischman, obviously, Miss Gomer, and others that Joel would automatically become the next chairman,, thus making Howie's decision {his right as Student Government president) unnecessary or, at least, superfluous. l Personally, I'm happy to see that •ij,owie didn't concede to this archaic convention and rather ·1 selected freely from the qualified students on campus. Rather than attacking Howie, Miss Gomer, I think we should applaud him for putting a kink in this self-perpetuating system. When you come to the consideration of why there is so much apathy at Wilkes, did you 1 ever stop to think that one of the reasons we don't hav~ as many Editor's Note: Mr. Pellegrini, you bring up some good ideas, but perhaps you have missed the main point in the column that you criticize. You say that you are happy that Howie "selected freely from the qualified students on campus." If that was what Mr. Tune had done , the column would never have been written. When you stop to consider th_e many uninvolved people (uninvolved because they realize "they don't know the 'right' people and therefore will not be selected for any important position,") it is . ta kes _o bv'10us, at 1east to me, that 1t mo_!'e than knowing the right people, and ,if that was Joel's only qualification, again, the column would never have been written. You ask why Joel was picked for that important position last year, and suggest an understanding between Daney, Bielecki and Fischman. (This reporter had nothing to do with the organization of Freshman Orientation, and consequently, nothing to do with any real or imaginary understanding that existed.) Again, you seem to have missed the point. Daney depended on Joel because he was · willing and capable of doing the work, which should be the main consideration. What the understanding amounted to was this: when the Student Government President made his decision he would choose the person or persons who had worked longest and hardest on the committee, which doesn't seem so unreasonable. You object to the fact that Joel was the only one to be introduced to "the people next year's chairman should know," (which may or may not be significant; it certainly was not one of this reporter's main points.) It was a logical move made by Daney in view of the fact that Joel was handling a considerable amount of the work, more than anyone except Daney and perhaps To the editor: Bitch, Bitch, Bitch. "There is nothing to do and no place to go. Why doesn't this school sponsor more activities?" Sound familiar? W~ll, it is obvio us that you, the student, are not interested in any activities and just may do yourself a big favor if something does pop up and you attend. As a student leader, [ am referring to the general apathy that existed at the most recent Sophomore Class meeting last Thursday. Attendance was so bad that it was almost impossible to plan any new class activities because of lack of participation . Sure, we have great organization and have been the most active class in the school this year, . but the burden of promoting these activitjes falls on a few devoted individuals on the executive council. If you are going to bitch about lack of activities, it's due to your own lack of interest. We have been very successful on all of our class projects this year and have the opportunity to sponsor more, but the lack of participation limits the number of coffee houeses, dances, movies, outings and winter activities that can be planned. It is a well-known fact that. apathy exists on this campus - but this is ridiculous! We need more support in promoting our activities. A few people can plan only a few activities. If you are going to complain, be prepared to do something to improve the situation. Sincerely , Carole Lowande President , Sophomore Class Lonely at the Top His press kit contains a large glossy photo, a four-page bio , ten newspaper articles about him and twelve yellow "33 and 1/3" - cent Randy Newman Reprise stamps. "Presenting the best reviewed artist of 1971," the press kit offers: Randy Newman. And then the adjectives spew out: "the finest," "great," "best pop singer ," "a major star," " a pure delight ," "mindbending" and on and on until one wonders . But don't stop reading now_ You may not have heard Randy New.man - you may not have heard about Randy Newman - but this Newman is a new man on the composing and singing scene and, as much as he'll fight it, Randy Newman probably will live up to all those adjectives, the four-page bio and at least ten out of twelve most embarrassing stamps. The writer of such popular songs as "Mama Told Me Not To Come ," "I'll Be Home" and "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today," Newman - an owlish-looking 28-year-old - was making the rounds of the college circuit recently. On stage he's meek and mumbly humble, muttering an occasional "What would you like to hear?" or "This is a song I wrote." He's unpretentious almost to the point of being pretentious_ But not quite. He ends the quiet , hour-long Randy Newman song fest with a quick and quiet "goodbye" and the audience loves him_ Finally, when he sings them, those strange lyrics make sense. -His Jilting lullaby-esque melodies have an undertone of menacing macabre . His music is a coy combination of black and white humor, cynical satire and small town nostalgia , presented in gentle character sketches that range from down home naivete to "All In The Family" set to music . His songs are short and semi-sweet. He writes about The Yellow Man "eating rice all day/ while the children play ... he keeps his money tight in his hand/ with his yellow woman he's a yell.o w man." Or, "Sister Sue, she's short and stout/ she didn't grow up, she grew out/ Mama says she's plain, but she's just being kind/ Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's p e II e g r in i C 0 m ffl en d S HOW i e Tu n e 10 the editor, r j involved people as we should, might be because these people are aware that they don't know the "r ight" peo ple and there fore will not be selected for any important position?

Off-stage, Randy Newman is shy and yet brash; meek yet mouthy ; evasive and abrasive . "When I have a choice, I don't talk at all ," he said at the beginning of our interview. "I don't like reading about myself and I don't like listening to myself. I don't know who buys my records, I don't know who sees my concerts. I don't know what my appeal is." So what does he know and/or like? "All I care about is how I'm writing. It's so much the main thing that the rest of the stuff isn't important. I'll look at the record sales figures and there's James Taylor up there and there I am down there. But it isn't a big thing." "What do you do in yotir spare time?" I asked. "I stick pins in my little doll of James Taylor." "What do you spend your money on?" "Pins." And then he laughs - no , cackles - because none of this is serious. Except when he's writing music "which matters" nothing else matters. He's putting me on and he's putting himself on. He's a crotchety young man and everyone should just leave him alone and let him write. He laughs at his fame, fortune and stardom because they don't exist for him. His manner and his music want us to remember that he's Just Plain Folk Like You and Like Me.

I titled this column a protest against protestors simply because I feel that while the peo ple who protest might have the right idea, more often th an no t the y do not have the energy or the enthusiasm to carry out the refo rm , once it is initiated . Every year just before the beginning of th e spring season , all the campus ( ex cuse the te rm) rad icals suddenly get the urge to start reforms and make the nece ssary changes in the cam pus. A task they should have been pursuing throughout the entire year. Change cannot come about simply because someone, somewhere gets the brilliant idea that he doesn't like things the way they are . Change requires well thought-out plans and people who are willing to initiate change. fne In the course of a regular week on campus , I have come across several student leaders and their complaints all centered around the same thing. "We need something done and people to serve on committees, but NO ONE has the time." I can't think of any other students o n campus who have less time than our student leaders. Many of these individuals, outside of running campus events, are also Wilkes College will present the Turnau Opera Players' rendition of "The Barber of Seville" tonight, at 8 p .m ., full time students with classes to attend, reports to make, papers to be in the Center for the Pe1forming Arts. · written and many of these same people also hold down part time j obs.

Dr. Thatcher Makes Additional Comments Concerning Jazz To the editor: In my previous letter on the jazz · seminar I did nol pose as a historian of jazz. My study and teaching of history over the years dealt with other subjects than jazz. As a historian, however , I was fully conscious of the superiority, generally speaking , of primary sources over secondary sources and, having grown up and participated actively in a small way in the early y ears of the Jazz Age , I regarded myself as a primary source of sorts on that period and felt that I i;night be able to contribute something of value to an understanding of the spirit of it as well as to correct what seemed to me to have been some errors in the presentation at the seminar . I should like herein to make some further comments , this t ime on P~ofessor Swartchild's reply to my first letter. In the first place , he and I don't Shop at . .. RABAM' For Your School Supplies See us at our new location 106 SOUTH MAIN STREET WILKES-BARRE Phone 825-5625 seem to agree on what years should be included in " early years of the Jazz Age ." I prefer to regard the early years as those prior to 1920, whereas he seems to include the twenties in the early years. But by the twenties jazz had made its way from its birthplace in the Storyville section of New Orleans all the way (by way of Chicago) to New York and was firmly ensconced in Tin Pan Alley (and Harlem). I therefore regard jazz as having been in full flow~r, so to speak , during the twenties , though still adhering rather closely to the Dixieland style of its originators. If I may . stick to my premise that the early years (those with which I am most familiar) ended in 1920, then I must reiterate my statement about the importance of the violin in the early jazz ensembles. (The word- "combo" was not used in those days , nor was "band" often used. The groups _were generally referred to as "orchestras," perhaps a somewhat too flattering term.) At any rate , the instruments of the typical small dance orchestra of those days were the violin , piano, and drums. If a larger group was needed, one generally added a banjo and a saxophone . An interesting sidelight on those days is that the "extras" nee.ded for-a particular engagement could be procured by merely phoning the local branch of the musicians' union even though neither I nor_my fellow musicians in our small o rchest ra were ever A NEW SERV1CE COMES TO WYOMING VALLEY!!

That was in the pre-Petrillo days: Such a practice of the early days which could not be repeated today was our habit of making a tour of the music-publishing houses in Tin Pan Alley and coming home with an armful of the latest orchestrations - free! To return to Professor Swartchild's letter. A few years ago his cursory treatment of ragtime might have sufficed as the "airing it deserved," but in view of the really remarkable revival of interest in ragtime at high musical levels that I mentioned in my original letter, I fe lt that it was entitled to ·more and better treatment than it received in the seminar, especially since the renditions of "Tiger Rag" and the "Maple Leaf Rag" were so poor that they did not by any means do credit to the composers. A Max Morath record would have presented those numbers in a much more attractive style . I don't quite understand Swartchild's derogatory use of the term "commercial" as applied to "white imitators." As I said in my original letter , practically all jazz orchestras were dance orchestras in those early days, and they played for pay ( except in occasional ')am sessions" when they played for their o wn amusement.) Moreover, Negroes we re not the sole originators of jazz and whites mere imitators witness George Gershwin, for example . As for my confusing my personal tastes with the mainstream of jazz evolution, I confess that I do not like all the types of jazz that are being played at present, especially those types that are not conducive to dancing , but I am afraid that Professor Swartchild was guilty of the sa.me human failing when he omitted (if I recall correctly) any mention of Paul Whiteman in his seminar review of the mainstream of jazz because (as is evident in his letter) he doesn't like Whiteman's style of jazz "that drove poor Bix (Beidetbeck) to drink ." Even though Whiteman (who, incidentally, was a violinist) may not be accepted as a purveyor of true jazz by certain critics, he was proclaimed King of Jazz by millions of Americans in the twenties, and, it seems to me, it is the millions , not the carping few , who determine where the mainstream is at any given time. If what the Lanin orchestras play today is not jazz , as Swartchild asserts, then I don 't know what it is. It certainly is not classical music, and he does. not help me out by giving it a name. I suppose he might deign to call it "pseudo-jazz," the name he applied to the music "played at tea dances." If so , then I'm all for pseudo-jazz because it was at those very tea dan ces that the best ballroom dan cing could be observed in the twenties and they NEED A RESUME? were the occasio ns when dancing and jazz music at tained to the Have it done correctly and greatest degree that harmony that I professionally .

Moreover , even though those orchestras employ a style very similar to that of the twenties, their music is not therefore hopelessly out of date or "fossilized ." In the field of classical music many compositions of a century or more ago are played more frequently than those of more recent vintage. In fact , the excellence of classical composition in some of the great eras of the past may neve r be equalled again , and the same thing could happen in the field of jazz, both in composition and in execution. What is on the frontier is not always the best ; frequently, it is definitely inferior to what lies in the hinterland of space or time. F)nally, the people who give employment to the society orchestras of the present are also not necessarily fossilized relics of a bygone age . As a matter of fact , it was a Lanin orchestra that played for the senior prom when my younger son graduated · from Princeton in 1965 . Princeton seniors of I 965 were certainly not fossilized yet even though their parents may have been close to it. Harold W. Thatcher RICK MITZ (From Page 7) "I won't let it happen.

In a mee t which saw Tro vei , Zellne r, Yanku and Arnould defeated , the Colonels came t h rough wi th a victo ry due to Bob Roberts' one-sided decision, Bob Lee's valuable pin victory and the im pressive, unexpected , upset turned in by 190-pound freshman Joe Grinkevich. The important wi n upped the Wilkes seasonal log to 9-3 while the host, Hofstra dropped to a 13-2 record. In the awaited battle of the Titans , former GAR standout , Joel Kislin bested Al Arnould by a narrow 2-1 margin. Junior Jay McGi nlcy opened the meet by jumping to a 2-0 lead, only to have his opponent knot the score. The difference came in the bout via rid ing time accumulated by the scrappy Colonel from Kingston. Bob Roberts in creased the Blue and Gold lead to 7-0 as he garne,ed a four-point superior decision over Rich Sjoberg. Several times Roberts was close to gaining a pin but was forced to se ttle for a 12-0 whitewash . Hofstra then serit out Mark Gottwald , who no rmally wrestles at 126 but moved u p to avoid a .,.c onfrontatio n and possible loss to Ro be rts . Coach Reese rnun tered by moving T rovei up o ne weight to 142 and sending John Chak makas to fac e Gottwald . Chakmakas did no t disa ppo int his coach or team as he held his highly touted foe to a 1-1 standoff. The bout was o nly the se cond for John this season. At 142, Art Trovei was defeated by Randy Bates who used a five -point pancake maneuver to gain the advantage. Art came storm ing back to narrow the deficit but lost by a 6-3 score . Undefeated Neil Duncan had to ba ttle valiantly in order to ga in a 6-1 decision o ver Bob were holding a slim one-point lead 8-7. Sophomore sensation, Mike Lee, gave the Reesemen a bigger edge as he utilized a reverse nelson to pin Dennis Garetano. Mike is now 11-1 for the year. Colonel Captain , Al Zellner, lost a tough 9-6 decision to Rick Santee in. their 167 pound skirmish. Hofstra then sliced the lead to 14-13 as Frank Lyman outpointed Bob Yanku 15-12 in a real crowd-pleaser in the 177 pound bout. The stage was now set for the dramatic upset by Joe Grinkevich. Prior to the match, Joe's record was 4-4-1 while his adversary, Gene Reid, was sporting 1 -3 -1 credentials. The Colonels' Ione freshman starter refused to be intimidated as he came thro ugh with a first-period takedown. Joe then held on to his o pponent to fashion the startling 4-3 victory. Wilkes then had a lead of I 8-14; only a pin would give Hofstra the victory. The two, hulking giants then strided out to engage in their highly publicized war. Kislin tipped the scales at 290 while Al Arnould was "only" in the vicinity of 260 for this big encounter. Al came up with a 1-0 lead by virtue of a second period escape. Kislin escaped with 1: 30 left in the final period and had one minute riding time to gain his 2-1 margin of victory. · Special Excursion!

The Colonels held a comfortable 33-26 halftime advantage but had to weather a cold shooting hand and a late Harpur rally to secure the win. ' High scorers for the Blue and Gold were Clarence Ozgo and Mark Caterson with 14 points each. The victo ry ran the Colonel win streak' to three games , but the enjoyment was to be short lived. Against Moravian at ·sehtlehem the Colonels were unable to maintain their 31-30 halftime lead and bowed 77-76. This time the Colonels staged a late onslaught, trailing by seven points with two minutes remaining. Their surge trimmed the margin to one before time expired. Mike Bachkosky regained his early season form, pumped in 20 points and hauled down 13 rebounds to lead the Colonels. Senior Dave Kurosky alsp made his presence felt by blistering the twine for 17 points and collecting 14 rebounds. · Overall shooting for the Colonels, however , was weak. Coach Bearde's targeteers managed only 32 of 78 from the field , while the Greyhounds were 25 for 42. The Colonels are now 10-9 on the season . Should they vanquish Lycoming, a team that has beaten them handily twice this season, they may have a chance to make their first appearance in the Northern Division play-offs. Dear Sports Editor : Could you please explain why Wilkes College does not play King' s : ollege in any sports? I know that King's only has a club football team and if we lost to them we would not only be losing a game but status as well.

"This is WCLH-FM in Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania." These words were spoken last Sunday evening at 6 by student announcer Dave Bickel and they officially put Wilkes College in the business of educational FM radio broadcasting. The new 175-watt station immediately began five hours of continuous programming a schedule which will be maintained throughout each week on a seven-day basis. On hand for the start of the broadcasting were coJJege President Francis J. Michelini , Dr. Har~d Cox , member of the faculty and program director, Professor James Berg, another faculty member who has been supervising the technical construction of the station and student Station Manager John Margo. The station, which is owned and operated by the college, represents a realization of plans which were discussed for the first time several years . ago when college officials were exploring methods of providing greater educational services to the off-campus community. Application was submitted to the FCC in August, I 970, and a construction permit -was finaJJy issued to the college in early February of last year. Late arriving equipment and te chnical problems postponed earlier entrance to the airwaves, but the t ask was finally completed on January 26 of this year when the station completed testing and applied fo r a license. WCLH-F.M will be run almost entirely by student personnel , many of whom are currently preparing for careers in the communications field and gaining experi~nce and training as staff members of the station, affiliations with the BEACON, and enroJJed in the campus journalism class. COMIC OPERA SLATED A change in the Wilkes College calendar has reslated the Turnau Opera Players' rendition of The Barber of Seville for February 17 , at 8 p.m., in the Center for the Performing Arts. This seventh production in the Wilkes College Concert . and Lecture series is a nineteenth century comic opera done as a take-off of a play by Beaumarchais. It will be performed in English, as most · Turnau performances are. The Turnau Opera Players originated with a group of former students of the late Professor Josef Turnau and is named in his honor. In Europe, where Professor Turnau had been ·a leading stage director prior to the Nazi upsurge, opera was a much more universal form of artistic expression and appreciation. His career in . the United States was dedicated to the fostering of young operatic talent to the end that opera might become here, as in Europe , a widely enjoyed and practiced part of our way of life. Working toward this end , the company has presented more than 800 performances of 85 operas to hundreds of thousands of people from coast to coast. Sin:e 1960, the Turnau Opera Playe rs have mounted a winte r season at the Ringling Museum 's Asolo Theate r in Sarasota, Flo rid a. The company's extensive performing history includes 21 other resident seasqns throughout the country , including 14 summer seasons in Woodstock , New York . During its seasons, the company prepares and refines its productions. A group of some of America's finest young professional musicians, many of them performers with major opera houses, is then sent on tour with highly polished productions. For over a decade the company has been organized as a non-profit, educational institution and enjoys a tax-exempt status with the Federal Government. It is a pilot attempt to take professional opera into smaller American communities ·and, with high artistic standards and low production cost, show that opera can succeed without being a major charity. From its inception, the Turnau Opera Players has had standing with the singers' union , the American Guild of Musical Artists, and values highly the professional standing that it has maintained. Throughout the country, from east coast to west, in seasons and on tour, the company has been dedicated to presenting opera as it is meant to be - a complete union of dramatic and musical" values. Opera , sung in English by the Turnau Opera Players , is a very personal experience for the audience - an intimate and highly enjoyable type of musical entertainment which delights opera love rs and unfailingly creates new enthusiasts. Many people are initiated into the (Continued on page 8) Student interes t and involvement has also been outstanding. Acco rding to staff member Dave Bickel, "Many have learned to their great surprise that y ou don' t just come off the st reet and be a rad io personality.

The transmitting antenna is located on the commercialJy - operated WYZZ-FM tower on Penobscot Knob, Hanover Township. WCLH-FM's 175 watts will enable it to reach potential listeners over a 150-mile radius, but more specifically from the upper Scranton area on the east to the other side· of Hazleton on the west , and fro m Binghamton to AIJentow n in the north-south directions. There will be a variety of programming from the oldtime "Lum and Abner" serial, foreign jazz and presentat ions produced locaJJy for the educational, cultural and entertainment benefits to the community both off and on the campus. (Continued on page 8) SOCIAL SOLUTIONS by Alain C. Arnould Many times when someone realizes that there is a problem they don't realize that they, .themselves, are the cause of the problem. Perhaps this is the case with the social life in Wilkes. In the student poll on the status of the social life , 37.2 per cent said it was nonexistant. Perhaps these students are the ones that fling themselves into nonexistance with some "electric Kool-Aid" (acid-spiked), grass, uppers, downers, inners and outers. Very social! 40.6 per cent clained that social life iS' bad. Is the social life bad or are they bad at socializing? The remaining 22 per cent seem to be doing okay. "A student Center," "A student Center," shout 51.8 per cent of the students. HUMPH! - So a certain clique can move ri~ht in and make the rest of the student body feel like they don't belong th~re!? · Yes, we do need a student center, bu·t it should be built to accommodate an existing student social system rather than give the old gang a new hangout. I offer two-basic suggestions, one for immediate purposes and one for long range goals. First, if you need a place to meet and mix, how about the center lounge of the new men's dorm as a "center?" Someone could contribute sounds to the lounge with a couple of extension speakers from his stereo. Meet and mix hours could be announced in the Beacon so as to invite day students. Better yet, why not establish a regular gathering on Friday or Saturday from 8 on? Create your own center. Guys OR Girls, invite 'o ther durms to .your dorm. If you don't do it, no one will do it for you. Step out and think social and be social. Help your shy friends to learn to be a littl~ less shy. If I sound a bit like Dale Carnegie, it may be that I think that his ideas are better than Tim Leary's. You don't need to "drop-out, turn-on and tune-in." How about dropping-in and turning-on . .. to people? My second suggestion is far more reaching. Most of us, students and teachers, think it would be great if Wilkes became a really progressive , modern and example-setting school. We suggest a pass-fail system , advocate student selection of courses and dropping required courses , demand open-housing or at least visitation rights and finally expect the (Continued on page 5) �February 10, L THE BEACON Page 2 PRE-CLASSROOM BRIEFINGS CONDUCTED Secondary Student Teachers Art-Music Secondary Student Teachers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (photos by Paramount) ...

Read by Student Government President Howie Tune, the proposed revision of the visitation policy would allow individual dormitories to set th eir own hours and revise them when deemed necessary . Remarkabl y unoffensive , the pro posal lacks the in-depth deta'il of its predecessors simply because u nder its governance, de tail is of little significa nce. Tune indicated that the snags in the pro posal would be clea red up and that a separate dormitory would be established fo r those women pre ferring to live under the present sys tem. Men would most likel y be affo rded the same o ptio n, but such a need appea rs unlikely fo llowing the resu lts of the recent S.G. poll. The p ro posed revision reads as fo llow s: "I . Visitation privileges shall be extended to all Wilkes College Dor mi tories requesting them. "2 . a. At the beginn ing of each semester , the members of each dormitory shall vote to determine the hours of visitat ion for tha t dormitory . "b . A schedule of these ho u rs must be pos ted permanently o n th e firs t floor of the do rmito ry for the in fo rmation of all visitors. "c. Any dorm may change its hours during a semester with a maj ority vote and notifica tion of the dean . " 3. Any students no t wishing visitation (including inco ming Freshm en) may apply for re sidence in a do rmitory without vi sitation privileges by se nding a written request to the appro priate De an." Under the S.G. constitution , the pro posal must be read at least twice befo re being acted upon . Thus, it was presented to the Student Government at last night's meeting and will be read for the second time at a joint I.D .C. - Student Government meeting to be held in the center lounge of the New Men 's Do rmitory at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Sunday's meeting is open to the student body for discussion of the proposal. With the anticipated passage of the revision, it would be presented to the IO a.m. meeting of the Council of Deans on Monday . No indication of the probable success or failure of the proposal was given so the student body would have to assume a wait-and-see attitude in regard to its future.

The organization was founded in New York City to "Counter what JDL sees as a frightening , escalating American cns1s that threatens Jewish rights and physical survival , as well as the total democratic fabric." To fight for survival, the JDL employs these means: I. inform people of the current situation and instill Jewish pride in a lost Jewish generation; 2. teach Jews to physically defend themselves; 3. achieve political power; 4. employ legal action; and 5. establish ties ,, with other organizations should extremism arise.

'Taxing private colleges is like taxing the fire department to pay tor the services ot the police department,' 7 stated Wilkes College President Francis J.

Scranton in an inaugural address as Chairman of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest states, "Academic institutions must be free - free from outside interference and free from internal intimidation. Far too many young people who should know better - both within university communities and outside them have forgotten this first principle of academic freedom. The pursuit of knowledge cannot continue without the free exchange of ideas." Scranton's statement, simple and direct, applies to Wilkes in a very sensitive way right now. It has come to a point when students, faculty and Administration must come to some form of agreement as to whether the ideals of education or personality should play a primary role in the function of our institution of higher learning. Yet perhaps it is not entirely as simple as it seems. H·aving had the opportunity to speak with parties on campus with whom the final decisions must undoubtedly rest, it is clearly apparent that the decisions to be made concerning the renewal of a faculty contract, or something as small as the position of a student in school, are decisions that must take a great deal of consideration. By the very virtue of my position on the newspaper staff, I can easily realize the position any member of the Administration is in when the decision must undoubtedly be made by him. There are times when in any one given situation there are doubts. But at the same time, a decision must be made that comes out in terms of black and white, even if you see the situation in shades of grey. At this time it becomes more important than ever to consider all sides of the situation and to take qualified and responsible recommendations into consideration. Wilkes has always been directed by the ideals of higher learning and the "marks of an educated man." President Francis J . Michelini in his inauguration address stated , "The freedom for us to perform our creative function is a precious thing that few societies enjoy. We must maintain the mutual respect that can bring unity to our efforts while sustaining the diversity that has made us great." " Students, regardless of the educational level,••have attained the ability quickly to recognize the difference between a teacher who is honestly concerned about his students and dedicated to the ideals of the teaching profession, and the teacher who remains in his position simply because he could not make it in any other job. Over the years, a student will encounter both types of teachers and somewhere along the line he encounters a teacher who is so enthusiastic abou his profession that some of this enthusiasm wears off and that student can decide on his direction in life . When such a teacher comes along, it is easy to see that he is able to reach not just one individual , bu t many students along the way, who might learn to take edu cation serio usly simply because of the effort of that one teacher. At this time, if a situation arises that indicates to students tha t they are being ro bbed of the exposure to su ch a teacher , it becomes diffic ult to understand just why this must happen. All thro ugh his academic career, a student is taught that idealism is the thing to strive fo r and that education should be respected above all else. He is taught in histo ry courses that the American y-tay will triumph and that anyone , as long as he is ambitious and serious, may someday attain his goal. Then the clincher comes: often at a time when it is least expected, and reality is exposed . All is not sweetness and light , idealism does not have the primary role , and instead , human weaknesses - politics, if you will take over and become dominant. It is my sincere hope that all concerned individuals will not lose sight of the objective of any educational institution in making the de cision s that will determine our. future. The key words here are freedom and education. NOTICE Mrs. Elaine Hahn Lacey bas assume4 the duties of Evening Reference Librarian.

But it is not, as many people think, a problem that no one has been trying to solve. In an effort to shed a Iittle light on the problem and what is being done about it, we would like to give some background on the parking situation. The college used to utilize Ralston Field as a parking lot and provided a shuttle bus over the bridge. This lasted for about two weeks because very few students used the facility. For a while the . problem seemed to be . somewhat alleviated by the public Park and Lock garage , on South Main Street. Wilkes students got a special rate of $2 less per month, but once the lot began to get over-crowded all speciai rates were removed and now there is talk of raising the rate to $15 per month. The parking meters around the campus were at one time one hour meters, and they have since been changed to three hour meters. However, the price was raised to five cents for 15 minutes. There has been talk of putting parking meters in _?Outh Wilkes-Barre, where many students now park, and the realization of what this would~mean to many commuting students compelled Dean George Ralston to call the Wilkes-Barre chief of police. However, the police chief has never returned the call, or indicated any interest in discussing the ·problem with · members of the college administration. The possibility of building a parkade is something many students fee l has not been considered. The fact is, it has been considered, and there are a number of reasons why it would not be feasible. First of all, there is the problem of lack of space. There is no land on the campus as it now stands that would be large enough to accommodate a building such as a parkade. Because of the city zoning laws, the college is virtually fenced in and limited in the land it can buy and utilize for college facilities. Then there is the problem of economics. It is very un likely that a parkade would be a financially sound investment. Because it would be for members of the co ll ege, it would not be used to its fullest capacity 24 hours a day. Tuition would probably have to be raised to cover the cost of maintaining the building, and in the long run it wou Id cost students more than they are paying now. The college is again considering the possibility of using Ralston Field as a parking lot, and running a bus over the bridge . However, unless enough students are interested, this will not work. According to Mr. Charles Abate, Wilkes College Business Manager, this year seems to have been one of the best as far as the pressures of parking are concerned. Calls from local residents about students parking in private driveways and private parking lots have been much more sporadic. He did indicate that he was willing at any time to talk with students who are concerned about the problem and feel they have workable ideas. Many of us wondered if we would ever see the day, but the day has come! On Sunday night the Wilkes College Radio Station, WCLH, began broadcasting. The station has the potential to provide an educational and entertainment service to people living in a 150-mile radius of Wilkes-Barre. We realize .that the programming is only temporary, and we would hope that as the station matures, the format will reflect the needs and tastes of its listening audience. , Because the station is operated by Wilkes College, it seems logical that an effort would be made to present to the students and area listeners material that is relevant to the life of the college. 1his might be achieved not only through educational programs and news broadcasts, but also through the music. There is a need for programming of more contemporary music which is more in tune with the tastes of college students. The initial week of broadcasting is a big step for the college, and we applaud all those who have worked so hard for the establishment of WCLH. It was through the dedication of a few students and faculty members that the progress was made. The station gives us a powerful way of presenting ourselves to the community. However, th e fact that Wilkes College students will ideally make up a large part of the listening audience, and that WCLH is a college radio station, should be taken into consideration when program formats are drawn up. Keeping in mind that the classification of the station is "educational," we hope that the staff can work within this limitation to provide the kind of entertainment that would be most appreciated by the majority of its listeners. It's A Privilege We would like to take this opportunity to remind students that voting is not a privilege to be taken lightly. Recent legislation has delegated the right to vote to the 18-year-old, indicating a decision on the part of our legislative bodies to give more responsibility to college-age students. Once this responsibility has been delegated, it then becomes the responsibility of the individual students to assume this responsibility with the correct attitude, thereby following through with the intention. With the increasing amount of student involvement on campuses across the nation, the right to vote becomes even more important. So - maybe you really don't know anything about the candidates ,running for office, but is there anything stopping you from finding out about them, their plans for office and their positions on specific issues? Remember when the time comes to criticrze certain legislative measures whi.ch are put into action, you had the right or the privilege to select the men who will govern your nation, but you didn't take advantage of that right. •ii by Rick Mitz The Relevancy of Relevance True Confession: I laugh at. "All in the Family" and have gotten so used to growing up with Lucy on TV that I just can't cut the cord. I run the water while I brush my teeth. I use Tide. And two-ply toilet paper. Blue. With these little tleurs de !is on them. Because they match the motif of my bathroom. I enjoy blazing fires in my fireplace. The last movie I saw was "Lady and the Tramp," which exploits women. My bottles are non-returnable and I don't separate my garbage; which I burn in my blazing fireplace. I just can't help it. I'm a failure at relevance . There are, however, some things about which I am relevant. I don't have a snowmobile or a sable coat. But that's about it. I read the wrong things (Nash, not Yevtushenko). I eat the wrong things (meat, not brown rice) . I enjoy the wrong theatre (Neil Simon , not Albee). So what can I do? I am a product of an educational system and a biodegradable environment that makes me feel I have to take the pleasure out of pleasure, the enjoyment out of enjoying. The product of a guilt-ridden culture where free-love means I always have to say I'm sorry. But what's so relevant about relevancy anyway? A while ago, I visited the University of Wisconsin campus at Green Bay - a college totally devoted to the study of ecology. There one student told me, "It's okay, but you feel guilty doing anything that's not relevant." I thought the remark was ridiculous. After a day there, I found myself checking the soap in the school lav soap dishes to mke sure they were using the Right Kind. So what is relevant? Bicycling? Good for the environment. Cuts down on air pollution. But I don't like bicycling. It's not good for my psychological environment. And what is meaningful: It's the hey-day of the academic radical chic where everything must have a Profound Meaning; where anything more than a pair of jeans and a stereo system borders on decadence; where back-to-earth means back-to-dearth. Ecology, racism, women's liberation , war and the rest of the list are all important issues. Too often , it seems that it's not the issues that are significant but only the relevance of the issues. W,e feel guilty if we're not doing what's Right, and we feel Wrong if we're not feeling· the guilt. There are things - little and big - that can be enjoyed. For their own sake. And for no other reason . Too often the Relevance Regalia focuses only on what's not there rather than what exists. For some people, perhaps , the patterns of smog formed from a dingy smoke stack might be aesthetically pleasing. That doesn't justify the polluting, smog, but it creates a new and positive viewpoint where even the ugliness of pollution can have its own beauty. Truthfully, I haven't resolved my own guilt feelings about being irrelevant. True Confession : In my city, The Lucy Show is on at the same · time as the Eveni ng News. So I sit near the color television - receiving radiation - and constantly recycle the channels back and forth from orie show to the other. Last night, Lucy talked about the casualties in Viet Nam while Walter Cronkite put on a Charlie Chaplin costume and danced at a PTA meet ing. It all evens out. �February 10, 1972 Page 5 THE BEACON viewpoint ** ** Cheap* Thrills *· * * * Thursday, February IO Concert and Lecture Series "After Vietnam- What?" - Harrison Salisbury - CPA - 8 Men's Intramurals - 7:30 p.m. Friday, February 11 Film - "Ivan the Terrible" - CPA - 7 and .9 p.m. Men's Intramurals - '7 :30 p.m .

J.etwt Jo 1rlf Jwlwt by Adrienne McKenzie Well , you want my expectations of the course . You want me to write about me , my goals , my interests. This , one of the easiest papers you assigned , may be one of the most difficult. Or visa-versa. - Last week when I signed up for the course, I did so with a sigh . I needed the credits , but Education 20 I was boring and a waste of time ; yes, but I decided way back in elementary school that I was going to be a teacher , but I have decided that I can't take any more school , so why bother with an education course ; but then someday I'll want to finish so I might as well take the course now, and besides, I need the credits. And then, Tuesday morning , while waiting in the Kirby lobby trying to pass the time until my French class would begin , I ended up listening to a teacher who was talking about Summerhill and the other projects he wanted his class to do this semester. I found myself wishing I could be in that class - it interested me . But then I reasoned that since it seemed so great , it couldn' t possibly be a course _where they'd admit sophomores. So I sighed and renewed my desire to drop out of school after this semester . Later that afternoon, I entered education class and realized that YOU were the teacher I had heard that morning talking to your 9:30 class. I just might survive your class; if there were more teachers like you - who would let the students structure the class - fit the class to the students rather than fitting the students to the class - if there were more of this, I might finish school. As it is, I think I'd get just as much excitement if I were working in a factory. But, so many things require college degrees - or so I've heard. I've also heard that right now it's a lot easier to get a job if you don't have that same degree .

A administrative responsibilities. one's own a·ccount by JoAnn Gomer Early last year Freshman Orientation Chairman Mike Dancy began work on this year' s orientation program. The two people who worked most closely with him were Harry Bielecki and Joel Fischman. _According to Mike and Harry , Joel was a hard worker and an organizer. He got things done. By 'this time last year a tentative foremat had been discussed with the deans. There was much work and many changes still to come , but the committee knew where it wanted to go, and perhaps more importantly , how to go about getting there. The planning continued all year and throughout the summer , with Fischman doing a great deal of the work. "Joel was always there when I needed him," Daney said. "Harry took care of all the financial problems but when it came to meeting the people that next year's chairman should know, I always made sure Joel was there. We worked very closely putting the program together. He knew exactly what was going on." One of the important things which Mike, Joel and Harry did was to compile a 200-page report, giving information about previous programs at Wilkes, as well as programs at many other colleges . When this year's program was over, they had a meeting with the deans in which they ripped the program apart - picking out the things which were good and disct1ssing those things which presented problems and should be changed . The recommendations which emerged from this meeting were also included in the report. "There is no doubt in my mind that freshmen orientation at Wilkes has greatly improved over the past four years," Daney said. "And Joel Fischman was a part of that improvement. I recommend him for next year's chairman. As far as I'm concerned, he is the only man for the job." All this is very nice , except for one thing - the appointment of Freshman Orientation Chairman is the job of the Student Government president. Mr. Tune made his appointment in December, without even seeking the advice of the people who worked on,the committee with Joel. I in no way wish to direct any malice or insult to the two girls who were appointed as chairmen. According to one at.the deans, they are very nice people, and they are excited about their position. They do have a few new ideas that they would like to put into ;effect during next year's program. But in terms of experience, organizational arld leadership qualities; in other words, knowing how to put their ideas in to action , I can only say that Fischman is much more qualified. Mike Daney said, "Yes, the two girls worked for me for a while. I would still have to back Joel strongly ." In an effort to present the other side, I spoke to Howie, but he would only give me very cautious, stilted answers. He said, "I felt there would be no new direction - mistakes of the past would be carried on as mistakes of the future." (Contrast this with Daney's comment that the program has greatly improved, as well as the fact that Joel, Mike and Harry made every effort to find out what was wrong with the program and how to improve it.) "The girls seemed very interested in working as chairmen," added Tune . Of course, Fischman's two years of work would also seem to imply the same thing. I thought one of Tune's comments to be especially interesting. When I questioned him concerning the. 200-page report that Daney , Fischman and Bielecki had compiled, and asked him why he didn't consider this to be evidence of a gn~at deal of hard work and dedication , he said, "Reports are nice, but they don't bring out that much concrete work." I wonder if this also applies to the report which he wrote and presented to the Committee on Student Life . . . I have been accused (not by . Tune, but by a member of the Administration) of trying to raise a dead issue , of being vindictive and causing trouble by going around asking a lot of questions. Perhaps this particukr issue is dead. According to Tune , "It was my decision and it had to be made. Nothing that comes up will change it." But hopefully I've raised a few questions in all of your minds questions that haven't been answered , but which should be answered before the election of next year's student leaders.

When Dave Kurosky first began to participate in organized basketball, he needed a pogo stick to reach the six-foot mark on the height scale. That was in fifth grade. In ninth grade Dave's pituitary gland went berserk and by the time it decided to become its restive self once again, Dave almost had to kn.eel to equalize the scale's six foot mark and his scalp level. At 6 feet 5 inches though Kurosky is not considered to be exceptionally tall in comparison with other collegiate players who compete in the forward and center positions. In high school Dave could play eye to eye or eye to forehead with most of his counterparts. Now to contend with these "gianter" giants, Dave must rely above all . else on blocking out and positioning. His 205 pound frame, of course, aids in the efficacy of his performance of this task and also helps to negate Dave's admitted poor leaping ability . .,.

Lock Haven , capturing the victory easily, displayed excellent free lancing on give-and-go , situations. Beth Miller was high scorer for the "Baldies" with 16 points. Ann Tracey lead the Colonelettes with 13 points, while Val Aiello lead in rebounding. · Prior to this game, the women posted an impressive victory in a scrimmage over Baptist Bible , defeating them 56-28. Kathy Davies tallied 14 points to lead the well-rounded scoring for Wilkes. Last Friday night marked the end of a series of three home games. Wilkes gained a second victory by defeating the "fighting" Keystone Job Corp. Playing before a well-gathered crowd, the cage.t tes used effective, quick passing to gain most points from inside the key. Val Aiello and Ann Tracey were again high for Wilkes, while on the defensive end Elaine Swislosky led in rebounding.

Salisbury, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist of The New York Times and no ted author, will speak at the Center for the . Perfo rming Arts on Thursday , February 10, at 8 p.m. · Salisbury, a distinguished newspaperman , has been assistant managing editor of ''The Times" since 1964. In March, 197 l , the Ove rseas Press Club award for the best foreign news coverage was gi ven to " The Times" fea ture-columnist page which is under his direct supervision. Also in March, I 97 1, Mr. Salisbury's latest book , "The Many Americas Shall Be One ," was published. Awards are not new to this journalist who in addition to the Pulitzer Prize, has been awarded the George Polk Memorial Award and by Janice Yarrish the Sigma Delta Chi Award . His books have included "The 900 Days: The Seige of Leningrad ," "Russia," "American in Russia," "To Moscow and Beyond," and "A New Russia." Mr. Salisbury has also written a novel, "The Northern Palmyra Affair," and has edited and written the introduction and commentary to "Marshall Zhukev's Greatest Battles." For a period in the mid-fifties he covered local New York news for "The Times" and his stories on juvenile delinquency resulted in publication of a book , ''The Shook-Up Generation." Mr . Salisbury was born in Minneapolis in 1908 and attended the University of Minnesota. He began his career in journalism on the college newspaper and at the same time worked for the St. Paul Bureau of the United Press. Upon graduation from the University , he moved to the Chicago Bureau of the UPI and among other news stories covered part of the Prohibition gang wars and the trial of Al Capone. In 1940, he transferred to the UP Foreign Desk in Washington; and in l 943 became the London Bureau's managing director during the coverage of the war in Europe. In 1944 he went to Moscow to head the UP's Moscow staff, then returned to the United States as Foreign News Editor , also covering the birth of the United Nations. In 1949 Salisbury joined ''The New York Times" and shortly after returne d to R ussia as correspondent, a post he held for (Continued on Page 8) HARRISON E. SALISBURY �THE BEACON Page 2 Student Poll: 1 Resignation To Defeat by Randy Steele In an attempt to measure the pulse of student opinion here at Wilkes, Student Government President, Howie Tune and other concerned parties recently devised a strenuous, comprehensive poll which was made into a report for the Committee of Student Life. The report's findings stressed the acute negativism of a large majority of the student body toward various parts of the college; thus, the report's surname, "A Resignation to Defeat." In quoting the report, this resignation simply means "that the student of Wilkes College {in varying degrees) holds no hope for change, that nothing will improve his condition, that any proposal submitted will be knocked down without consideration." A great deal of intere.t was aroused by this new interest in students' attitudes. Tune reported that there was one girl who actually typed out three pages of commentary to the question on what could be done to improve the college. A lot of concern was voiced over the · absence of women's visitation rights. Other topics that were covered included the parking problem, a student center , apathy, class attendance, curfews and security to name just a,few. It should be noted however, that the student poll which was the basis for the report was rnot without error. Three different 1:1questionaires were sent out - each one was improved upon over its pr_edecessor. The earlier ambiguous questions were excluded from the tabulation. Everyone, however, still did not receive the final questionaire. The poll was not a random sample. A higher proportionate turnout was recorded by dorm students than by day students. The results from the two sides were kept separate on issues which were pertinate to each only. But on questions in which both parties were combined, the dorm students created an imbalance biased to their particular views. There were also questions that asked for opinion on what could be done to improve Wilkes College on the whole, the major faults here, why the Beacon is not the voice of the students, and why neither JDC nor Student Government are fulfilling their duties to the student. Again , the results were not released in this report. Perhaps some of the questions, even in the final questionnaire, were still a little hazy. For example, the first question asks if there is unity between students , faculty and administration. The question arises, "What exactly is unity?" The same goes for the answers that were already provided in some cases. Often, simply yes or no was not enough. When you are asked if you trust t~e deans, you may feel that sometimes yo~ do and _then ther,e are cases which you simply don t_. . ~t_1II, all these pomts a_gamst the vahd1ty of the poll a~e tnvtal w~e_n co~~ared to the ach1_e~ements 1t 1s bnngmg. A lot of_exc1t~ng progra~s are now in d1scuss1on or are underway• Talks on women's visitation are being re-opened. There is the possibility of a shuttle being run from Ralston Field every 15 minutes or half-hour to alleviate some of the parking congestion. A Commuter Council may be formed that would operate similar to · IOC , but for commuting students instead. There is an excellent chance curfews may be lifted for freshmen women. They would be able to attain a set of keys for their dorm and seif-regulate their hours with parental permissi0 n. There are also many pertinent acad emic proposals and ideas getting attention. No-Cut policies and required courses are spotlighted, along with immunity from finals if a student has a prior average of four or three or possibly even two in any given class. There has been an Ad Hoc committee formed to examine current hygiene and phys-ed courses . The poll has shown that most students don't feel the health courses are very beneficial and would rather study such things as iifesaving techniques and material which is more relevant to their needs. One change that has recently been brought about is that courses can be dropped up to the tenth week without automatic failure. Still, Tune has reported a desire to February 3, 1972 Exchanging Views 1 pursue this issue until courses can be dropped until the very day before the final. Studies in tightening up security and safety on the campus are also being intensified. The poll has also led way to an attempt to loosen up the alcohol policy here at Wilkes. What is really being sought is not to openly defy state law but to enforce it Jess. Probably the most interesting note in the whole study which has been surpnsmg to almost everybody is that 50.7 per cent of the student body is content here. This is slightly amazing when it is compared tp the immense array of negative responses that was evoked. Perhaps, if nothing else , the poll has given light to the idea that complaining is merely a ritual that our society has tacked on to existence. To complain is to Jive and to Jive, one must complain.

What Is The Drop-out Seeking? With the ending of the .first semester of college comes a time for making decisions. And for many students the end of their first semester at college means making one of the biggest in their life that of deciding whether to continue on or drop out. It goes without saying that college is a battle , and as in all battles, there are casualties. The students who tried college for a semester of two and found that they couldn't (no pun intended) make the grade , are the first casualties. This is to be expected . In a time · when jobs are scarce evident that something is missing Some people are able to take and a college degree no longer from the " college experience." college and others aren't. insures a college graduate of a job, Although college has always The- question then arises, what many students are becoming been regarded as a stepping stone to about the students who did make increasingly wary about investing a high paying job · the emphasis on the grade , and yet still decided to time and money into a college learning and becoming a well drop out?

One must remember, however, that the duty of a newspaper columnist is to initiate and/or perhaps motivate the community at large into reform for the benefit of all. This includes any and all issues which the columnist believes to merit attention. Here at Wilkes one aspect of the newspaper seems t~ have been grossly mis•u nderstood. The Beacon has come under fire for failing to voice the opinion of the students. The persistent call for more social comment on the editorial page will be dealt with in the near future. This comment may be in the form of past, present and future but must be devoted to the activities of you, the student body, and your leaders. The Beacon can only comment on news . Without news we are hopelessly stranded with nothing of interest to give to you, the students. But, more importantly, the students have nothing of interest to give themselves. The past semester proved to be a non-productive one at best. Small reforms were seemingly tied up in the gobbledygook of Student Government and 1.D.C. meetings which proved to be no more than a fruitless waste of a couple of hours time. Student leaders have indicated to this columnist that they are. as frustrated with the recent lack of progress as the students themselves. With this fact in mind, let us pursue the matters at hand in hopes that constructive steps towards their achievement will be taken during the coming semester. There are far too many issues at hand to discuss in as brief a column as this, but those of seemingly utmost importance include a pass-fail grading system for courses not included in a student's major curriculum, an extension of visitation hours in male dormitories, the establishment of such hours in the women's dorms and consideration for a proposed student union. If and when instituted, a pass-fail grading system in non-major courses would present a favorable . element of liberalism that might very well stimulate a greater degree of academic pursuit. The pressures · are unnecessarily high as students engage in a rat race for grades and instructors are faced with the rigor of determining grade point averages. Furthermore , most students view such requirements as a form of blind side punishment and what professor isn't discouraged by the fact that an apathetic atmosphere · prevails in his classroom. Perhaps the new idea might lend a more relaxed feeling to the classroom and afford an instructor with the opportunity of pursuing aspects of the course more relevant to his students. Regardless of the realized outcome, the system is worth a try even if only on a trial basis. The pass-fail also requires a student to attain a C or above in a course to receive credit for it and thus any dropoff of academic pursuit would be minute at worst . The extension of visitation hours in the male dormitories and establishment of such hours in the female wings has proven in the last year to be a controversial issue. Held in a highly favorable esteem by the students as shown by a recent S.G. poll, the issue has not been looked upon in the same light_by the Administration. As feature editor, I am going to pursue an investigation into rules and regulations of visitation hours on other campuses in the near future . These investigations will not be aimed at exposing the weakness of the system here at Wilkes but rather the strengths of systems elsewhere. The study will include several case-in-points with the hopeful comment on the part ·of Administration and students of the respective institutions as to both the good and bad features of their programs. Hopefully sm;:h a study will encourage the students, faculty and Administration here at Wilkes to work towards a goal which would indicate we are in fact still listening to one another. The job lies in the hands of Student Government and I.D.C. As an _editor of _the Beacon I pledge to do my share of the work in pursuit of a constructive goal. The job of securing a new visitation policy belongs to the student leaders. Hopefully they will meet the challenge. · Finally, a student union center is necessary here at Wilkes if we are ever to realize the ideal goal of unity on our campus. Student life on any campus revolves as much around the social aspect as the acade.mic. We have been told that the true college experience leads to growth academically, socially and spiritually. Once again turning to the S.G. poll as reference, the only feasible means of a happy, prosperous career at Wilkes is one in which breaking the rules maintained by college is not the exception but the rule. Sue~ ~ _feeling could be alleviated if the students had somewhere to go . After VISltm? s_ome c?llege spots in upstate New York, a· building the size of t~e Chnst1ar. Science Church could be readily converted into a beautiful spot for students. If it were adjoined with the Commons the school could have a good sized building capable of fulfilling the needs of the students. The cost of the venture would be minimal since the two structures are already standing and, yes, architecture is capable of doino wonders. "' The cards are now on the table. We know what needs to be done and ·?ow to g~ about doing iL The people are there, the potential is there, but 1s th~ desire to work there? Let's hope the answer to the question is yes , or Wilkes College may yet suffer through the most unproductive year in its brief history. �THE BEACON February 3, 1972 I ';x Page 3 I Freshmen Weekend Slated The Wilkes College Studen t Government and Inter-Dormitory Council are extending an opportunity to perspective freshmen and their parents to get a first hand look at the college during Incoming Freshmen Weekend on Saturday and Sunday , February 19 and 20.

Michelini- not that the ac tual quality won't be there, but simpl>y because a white-haired , gentle woman won' t be serving it. Recently , for the last time, Mrs. Sarah Fisher went through the same routine she has followed for the past nine years - that of making a cup of strong coffee for Dr. Michelini. She also had to make sure that it was flavored just right - so much sugar and a dash of cream. But all that. is over as of now because Mrs. Fisher has ended her tenure as a member of the housekeeping ·staff , at Wilkes after nine years. This was the end result of a Christmas present she had promised herself more than one year ago "When I become 80, I will retire ." She was still determined to fulfill the year-old promise to herself as she reached 80 years of age on Christmas Eve of last year. Mrs. Fisher, a resident of 264 Academy Street, Wilkes-Barre , had planned her last day on the job as just another response to a routine she had grown used to and thoroughly enjoyed, but the other members of Weckesser Hall had different ideas. As word spread only the day before that "Mrs. Fisher is retiring tomorrow" there was a state of semi-social panic as to what might be done on such short notice. Plans were quickly put together for a coffee hour in the board room- one of the areas which Mrs. Fisher took particular pains with to make sure was kept just right. At exactly 9 a.m. Mrs. Fisher was asked if she would mind corning into the board room. Responding to what seemed like a normal request, Sarah Fisher walked into a room full of college personnel and was greeted with a "Happy Retirement" serenade. She was momentarily moved by the occasion, but quickly regained her stately composure and asked, "Would you excuse me for just a moment until I collect my wits," and then retired briefly to the adjoining kitchenette. Moments later Mrs. Fisher was back and smiling ever so slightly as President Michelini ushered her to the head of the huge mahogany table in the board room and she reluctantly sat down at the "place of honor." It was the college president who took the initiative. "Mrs. Fisher," he began, "for years you have been making me the best coffee in the world, so today it's my turn to provide the same service to you." The party lasted only a brief time, but long enough to let the 80-yeai:--old woman know that she was well liked and respected by all. Serving people isn't something new for Mrs. Fisher. During World War II-right after her son ,Louis, member of the U. S. Army Air Corps, was killed, she dissolved some of her sorrow by offering her services as a volunteer at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Recalling her contributions there yesterday, she proudly mentioned that she had spent over 7 ,000 volunteer hours and received several citations for her work. Mrs. Fisher's husband died in 1964 and she resides at the home of BLACKPOWER MOVEMENT SEMINAR BY DR.

What made her retire now? "My son told me he'd bop me right over the head if I didn't stop at 80 and take things easy," she said. Taking things easy doesn't seem like t};ie thing Sarah Fisher can do. And she hinted about plans to keep active in an undisclosed role. ''I'll manage to keep busy in something," she said , "and I plan to drop in Weckesser every so often to visit my friends and make sure things are going well." AFROTC (From Page 1) program at Wilkes will include the assignment of several officers and non-commissioned officers to the school. Captain Bishop noted that students participating in the program are required to serve four or five years in an Air Force commission following grad uation.

The spokesman noted that the Air Force ROTC program · is the only one open to women. Jt SUIIU Jo by Marietta Bednar What ever happened to the college radical? The answer is quite simple : he has begun to fade into the background along with Joe College and the racoon coats. Failing right along with the college radical are radical newspapers. An article in the New York Times December 14, 1971 headed "Campus Papers Going Straight" by Douglas E. Kneeland reads in part as follows: " College newspapers, many of which took a sharp swing toward radical journalism during the campus turmoil of the late ninteen-sixties, appear, for the most part , to have made a conscious move back to objective news coverage. "At a dozen campuses from coast to coast, there was almost unanimous agreement among college editors on the need for 'straight' reporting, rather than personalized journalism, and on the importance of keeping editorial opinion clearly separated from the news columns. "Most also said that they had made a deliberate decision to step back from the policies of two or three years ago , when many college papers became so deeply identified with the issues they were covering that they closely resembled the so-called alternative, orunderground press." So , what's my point? - I'm trying to point out that at a time wheH a majority of campuses are moving away from the underground press , Wilkes is start ing a movement to form an alternative press. Instead of realizing the potential we have with an established newspaper and pro ceeding to make contributions directly to this organization, it has become the major pastime of bored individuals to sit down and criticize. Of course these armchair pilots can do a much better job and the one chance they would have to prove their ability would come in the form of an underground newspaper . It's as if there is a personal stigma attached to individuals who "dare" to join the staff legitimately. This stigma comes in many forms, from peers, and worse yet, from faculty. Yet, how can any progress be made unless individuals are willing to join the staff, which almost involves wearing a target constantly. · No one could ask a professional newspaper to print opinions on the front page. In fact if any paper dared to do such a thing , it would be completely destroyed. But a school newspaper is'apparently supposed to be something different. For any reporter or editdr to take his production seriously , it should be apparent that he could..not print opinion in a position where opinion has no legal right. · This is not to say that the readers should be ignored completely. There is more than adequate space which may be devoted to opinions. At the same time, causes do not have to be ignored for the sake of objective reporting. In most cases, the facts , when allowed to speak for themselves, can prove to be the best defense any paper can have . The only complication in this area comes from the fact that in order to present sound argument using the facts , a reporter has to do a great deal more work than if he were allowed the privilege of talking off the top of his head. Other colleges and universities have begun to realize this point, and are now working toward a goal of professional reporting and the products reflect their efforts . · Apparently Wilkes is only one step behind everyone else, but does this mean that we have to go through the same situation? It would be logical to skip over the period of radical journalism to catch up with the competition. Steps have already been taken on our part to move toward a more professional format , with backing from a professional society. It still remains for readers to open their eyes and see which product is actually the best. NOTICE An exhibit, "Operation: Re-Design;• will be presented at Conyngham Annex, February 6-12.

The police were offered as examples of services which the city supposedly supplies to the action itself has been minimal, at best. In the area of class government, there h~ve colleges. This was enough reason to continue been class outings, fund raising projects and the argument of taxation of colleges. dinners. What about servite projects- not only for the community, but for the class and the school as a whole? There have been a few, but why not more? What about more class activities? They seem to be few and far between. IDC doesn't seem to have touched many areas of concern that fall under their jurisdiction. A prospective freshman program is in the planning stage. But there are so many other issues. on campus that need work woman's visitation, lack of campus activities, cafeteria food; to name only a few. The vice president of I DC is now general chairman of all c?mmittees, making him responsible to the president for reports of progress. Are th e committees doing anything? Once ideas are offered, are they followed through? Student Government has been functioning along a normal pattern-we've had our Homecoming concert, dances, lectures, and a student opinion poll has been compiled with ideas for many needed changes. But now we need the action behind the talk. Authority must be delegated rather than initiated by a few selected people. Committees must be set up with people who are willing to do the work and carry it through to the end. And the "glory seekers" must b_e recognized for what they are. A common complaint around Wilkes is that nothing is ever done to improve the problems that everyone recognizes. Some say that the student organizations try, but the administration never responds. Others say that the administration has nothing to respond to because the students never try to get anything done. It is fruitless arguments like this that waste time and only result in antagonism. The only thing that is important now is that there is much to be done. Student leaders were elected for this purpose. They are committed to the students who supported them. What the Mayor and other city officials are apparently ignoring is the fact that· colleges such as Wilkes actually pay for . the ambulances and have their own security forces. Any police services are a matter of routine such as patrols through residential areas. All the money maqe through continuous parking tickets handed out to the college students is apparently also ignored. In other cases the towns or cities where private colleges exist give the students a break on parking. Wilkes Barre does not. It has become a standard joke to compare the number of parking tickets a student receives in a school year. It might be interesting for the police force to check into the current record for the number of par k.ing t ·1c ke t s 1ssu · ed t o one individual. Current taxpayers should also be aware of the eventual outcome of taxing private institutions - it could work against them. Forced into paying taxes the colleges would have two possible alternatives. They could either close up, which would be financially detrimental to the city, or they could become public institutions which would mean a loss of autonomy and would eventually cost the publi«; more than it is already paying. This would defeat the purpose entirely. Prime examples of this are the University of Pittsburgh and Temple who were forced to accept public aid. As a result the taxpayers are now paying $100 million more a year. It would hardly be in the best interest of citizens to bring about more expenses for themselves. Another point the city is apparently ignoring is th~ contribution the· colleges make each year to the city. One local merchant claims that 75 percent of his business comes from college students. Voluntary services are also offered by these institutions through projects such as Reach-Out, Red Cr<?ss, It takes a lot of hard work to initiate a tutoring and the Clean Enyironment change when it's so much easier to remain in Committee, just to mention a few. the rut of the present.

"The other ," of course, is a euphemism used for the sports circles' taboo word "Loss." And the Colonel cagers had unintentionally strung together six of those four-letter words in what appeared to be the pre-season-predicted materialization of gloom for the Blue and Gold quintet. But the Colonels fought back to the smile side of the ledger, squaredtheir season's record at 7-7 and boosted their MAC mark to 4- 3 when they got double barreled 22 point performances from Mark Caterson and Clarence "the Wizard" Ozgo in a 93,73 victory over the Juniata Indians. Freshman Ozgo , the 6-3 former Coughlin player -who appears headed for Wilkes stardom , collected 17 of his points in the first half. Also aiding the cause were Kurosky and O'Brian with I 8 and I 4 points respectively . Caterson's effort was especially welcomed since he'd been in somewhat of a scoring slump lately. Updating the cagers' progress since our last issue , the Colonels made their season log 6-1 by downing Susquehanna 78-76 with Greg O'Brian hitting for 21, Dave Kurosky 19 and Roman Shakay 11. Their six game skid began against Bloomsburg when they absorbed an 89-63 loss in first round action of the Berwick Tournament. Kurosky and Steve Ference with 13 apiece and Shahay with 11 led the Wilkesters. In the consolation round versus Lycoming the Colonels were again beaten, this time 101-88. High for the Beardemen were Kurosky with 21, Ference with 19 and Gurney with 14. Nucleus of a dynasty? It could be.

Since entering Wilkes, Al has twice been the 158 pound MAC champion ( 1970 and I 971 ). He holds the Colonel single season record for total pins (IO) and team points (59) - both set in I 969-70. He holds the Colonel career pin mark of 20. He was runner-up in 1971 Wilkes Open at 167 pounds. And he was elected the Colonels matmen's captain for this year. Impressive? Absolutely. But his extensive repertoire of feats and laurels extraordinaire fade into near oblivion when speaking with the talented senior. It's his rare and sublime soul-to~ching attitude which impresses one then. "I'm pleased I came to Wilkes," he says, "I've always loved the school and the people in Wilkes-Barre. rm really proud of the fans and kids that go here," His sentiments are met reciprocally by the fans. The hissing cheer that sounds to be the result of a host of deflating air rafts or an escaped legion of vipers usually signifies fan appreciation when "the Snake" (the name ascribed him by Bill Leckridge who claims he wrestles like one) is about to do combat. , Al asserts that it is not winning or losing that pleases or displeases him , but how competently he wrestles. "In wrestling winning your match is your first concern, but I've got to wrestle to my ability to be pleased. I always go for the pin because it means more team points. To pin people you have to take chances, and sometimes you just run out of time bef~re 'you get the chance to go ahead." Al adds that he pinned opponents with greater facility at I 58 pounds than 167 because at 158 he was talle~ and had more leverage than his foe-s. He may go back to 158 for national competition. Al's biggest thrill was beating touted Jerry Bell of the New York Athletic Club in the Wilkes Open. The Business Education major plans to teach after he has satisfied his thirst of wrestling. He may also return to his hometown to accept the position of high school wrestling coach which has been offered him.

The reasons Kerry was asking Student Government to take action in this situation was to protect Miss Chaffey's aid. next semester and to force the college to set their policy precisely as to what actions would justify the loss of scholarship money . Kerry was further dismayed with the indfectiveness of the Judicial Council when confronted with this problem. Ross Piazza, a· council representative, explained that the student court couldn't prosecute the administration . And since Miss Chaffey's dilemma wouldn't begin until next semester, Jim Loftus argued that Student Government should wait to take action. Other councilmen were quick to take the offensive. George Pagliaro , president of Inter Dormitory Council, lashed out against what appeared to be administration meddling in students' private affairs. Committeeman Dave Bickel asked Student Government tofind out exactly what legal powers the college had over its students. Giff Capellini also raised the banner in support of Kerry and Miss Chaffey , remarking again that the whole thing was a private matter and the administration had no right to interfere. As the heat of debate cooled, Tony Cardinale asked the councilmen to .take their time and to permit the administration to give their side of the · story before passing j udge ment. Lee Auerbach drew up and successfully moved a req uest fo r more information on the part of the college in this affair. Dean's Wife To Sing lead Mrs. Helen Ralston will sing the feminine lead in the Elm Park Concert Association's presentation of ean-Carlo Menottis' one-act opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors." Contralto soloist at the First Presbyterian hurch , Mrs. Ralston is well-known throughout the area, having appeared many times as soloist with the yom ing Valley Oratorio Society and Singers Guild of Scranton. Three years ago she sang the title role in "The dium," another Menotti opera. Appearing with Mrs'. Ralston in "Amahl" are Thomas Fallon, Doland Ellsworth, Jacob Wentland, Alan yman and Wilkes College graduate, Eugene Kelleher. The opera is under the direction of another Wilkes graduate, Gordon Roberts, and is scheduled for resentation December 15 at 8 p.m. at Elm Park United Methodist Church, 712 Linden Avenue, Scranton. Tickets are available at the Wilkes College Bookstore. Activity Fund Committee, A hand-vo te approved a policy statement fo r the Activity Fee Fund Committee. The new policy breaks student organiz;,tions into four categories to distinguish their money making capabilities. Auerbach requested Student Government to attempt to reclaim some appropriations that were granted to Theta Delta Rho that weren't used, since the Special Projects Fund was running low. Calendar As it presently stands , the new college calendar will consist of four days off for Thanksgiving, 33 days off for intermission and 16 days off for Easter recess. But the final decision has yet to be made . Student Government President, Howie Tune , reported that student representation has been accepted for the faculty · meetings. However , the motion which would allow a member of the Beacon to attend is still under consideration. Finally, the Concert Committee presented the names of possible groups to appear at the next concert. �Page 2 THE BEACON December 16, 1971 18 Year Old Appointed I~-------~---------------, one's own account I ~-----------------------J I The nation's first eigh teen-year-old local draft board member was appointed under the terms of the recent ly enacted amendments to the draft law which set the minimum age requirement for local draft board membership atagel8.

In apprehension how like a god. The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? (Hamlet, //,ii.) It 's Christmas time, I 97 I. At first there was just the earth , no people . And there were flo ods, and droughts, and earthquakes, and volcanos and fires. And then came the people. Now there are wars, and diseases, and pove rty , and ignorance, and hatred , and tears and despair. I hate to read a newspaper and I dread listening to the news. I just can't stand the thought of people hating each other. Or killing each other. All the so ngs, all the books , all the eloquent speeches about peace - well, l just don't believe it anymore. Maybe Sartre was right : this is hell. After all, with all the pain and suffering around us, what good would it do to make people suffer after they die? Dante had it all wrong . If you want to visit hell, go to Vietnam . Go to India, go to Pakistan , go to South Africa , go to New York , go to Chicago, take a walk down the street. And it really isn't anybody's fault anymore . If you want to get ahead, or maybe if you just want to live, you have to step on somebody. You have to be two steps ahead of the other guy . You can't give of yourself, because there is always going to be someone who will take too much. You can't believe in people, because there is always going to be someone who will Jet you down. I'd like to see the whole world standing hand in hand too, but I can't help but wonder if there wouldn't be someone somewhere plotting to take over while everyone else was too busy loving each other to stop him. There is so much bad in the world - that it's difficult to keep from being completely overwhelmed by it. But having said all that, I still have a littie bit of faith.

He can make up his own individual package by assembling five basic units that comprise a complete program. ' This modular unit concept is being introduced for Summer , I 972, by Continental Study Projects, Inc., specialists in student travel. It was developed to serve the varying needs of these young travelers. "If they want to study in England, travel through Scandinavia, spend a week or two at a seaside holiday center in Italy," says Mrs. Bitingon, a Director of Continental Study Projects, "they can choose when to go - how to get there - how to live - and how long they want to stay." The five units are: I) (Continued on Page 8) once read an a rticle which defined journalism as an art ; more impor tantly , an art of understandi'tlg. Just recently the fu ll impact of that statement hit me and I came to realize how meaningful that und erstan ding has to be, especially when it comes to involve people. Without ap pearing to sound se ntimental , I have come to comprehend the full merit of the word understanding, and it is truly an art in every sense of the word. When you look around it becomes apparent just h ow deeply each one o f us is involved in life ourselves. It then becomes a matter of discipline to be able to reach out and accept the shortcom ings 6f o thers and realize that eac h ind ividu al, no matter how he may appear in the general consensus of opinio n , has a great deal of worth . There is no way o f telling how any of us would react in any given situation , so it then follows that to co ndemn a person for his reactions is hypocritical. Yes , understanding is in many ways a di scipline, but mo~e importan tly it is like art in one other sense. Ju st as some people are born naturally talented and o thers can never draw a straight line with a ruler, some peo ple can und erstand without ha ving to ask qu estions in a very natural sort of way when o thers wo uld never be capable o f registering even a minu te fract io n of the impact. It wo uld be o nly too easy to accept the theory that each person is an individ ual with his personality free from outside influen ces. But this theo ry has been proven false time and time again , at least in n1 y limited range of experience. Many ti mes this understanding is something within the individual that deserves no cre dit on the part of the individual. Some people have bee n fortunate enough to be exposed to a strong fa mily background where they have had to fight and have been instill,e d with strong moral convictions. I' m not attempting to be sadistic when I use the term fortunate with problems, but only too often it has been proven that even the worst situations have made a person a better individual for having struggled through and overcome them. Other individuals, on the other hand , have had the easy way throughout life and have had no real problems to tackle and overcome. These are the very people who can justify making moral judgements, without having a deep understanding of the problem at hand. I u~e ' the terms fortunate and unfortunate loosely in these cases , simply because I honestly believe that even the most disasterous experiences can affect people in a positive sense. Sometimes when I stop to 100k around and see people who are able to observe situations and people in terms of black and white, I be~ome extremely depressed . Understanding, naturally enough, has to be based on some prior experiences. The nature and depth of those experiences will be an indication of the nature of the understanding that can and will be utilized. · My first reaction is to envy this type of person, simply because his life is so basic and uncomplicated . Upon deeper consideration it becomes evident that the envy is only superficial. I would much rather have the depth of understanding necessary for a complete and full life than _the superficial tone. I guess what it really boils down to is that when anything makes a deep impression on you, especially when it involves an individual , not even the severest remarks of others can change that image. Getting back to my original thought of journalism bei~g an art of understanding , nothing _can really change any of that. Journalism teaches an understanding that is so vital in coming to grips with a situation at a time that you normally wouldn't be able to think of such a thing. It requires, and sometimes even demands, a firm command of the situation and a questioning curiosity. This curiosity at times can be answered without words. These words at times become almost unnecessary. Phrases are completed way ahead of time within the mind of another, almost as if the very act of voicing them was a sin. Journalism is an art, a role not to be taken lightly in any way. It is more, much more, than communication, it is a very deep und~rstanding of man's role in this strange ; strange world of ours.

Student Union A student union center might be one of the considerati?ns to ponder as well. Perhaps we could see more independant research courses and intern programs in all fields of endeavor. We can well appreciate the fact that funds are pretty tight especially with construction of the New Learning Center, but surely there is some possibility of alleviating the problem right now. Calendar changes are ranked high on the list of priorities. Spending 10 days home for Thanksgiving, coming back to school for three weeks~ going home for two weeks for Christmas, coming back to school for two and a half weeks, then taking another break. Surely the cycle appears a bit ridiculous. Hours for the Commons might be extended, or possibly another building, already in use, could be given up for this purpose. The need is there, surely there is a solution to be found. The list could go on and on, but the point is clear. The issues are numerous and the time for thinking and acting is right now. It then becomes the important task of organizations on campus, primarily Student Government Merry Christmas See You In February Bishton's So"lution: Curb Petty System To the Editor: I sympathize with the Beacon's efforts to record and report the constant turmoil of our student government. It is a thankless task . Over Thanksgiving vacation I visited the United Nations as a guest of the Republic of South Africa. Some of the most politically brilliant men work there to get what they can for their country. I sat in on a meeting of the Economic committee and heard people say things like, "If it pleases the distinguished re pre sen ta tive of - " and "I sincerely thank the distinguished re pre sen ta tive of for his comment concerning this important issue, but if I may be permitted to point out - "and all they are really saying is you're all wet! And at that meeting of the Economic committee, the Russian government verbally beat the hell out of th._e UN newspaper in the most eloquent and unoffensive language I've ever heard for what amounted to a slight conclusion the paper drew from a direct quote made by a Russian representative. That paper is a magnificent example of clear reporting. But they are still valuable because of the slight political connotations that may be drawn from any statement they make. We . : ome back to Wilkes College. Incredibly petty by comparison but with a similar situation. The Beacon must becareful when it draws conclusions or summaries of what transpired , because the students made it verbatim . They don't realize that the Beacon must cut out material to summarize a point, thereby often changing its meaning and impact. The UN Journal also has a thankless task of reporting what transpired, but they have the courtesy to jot down conclusions and ask the people who they are quoting if those conclusions are an accurate summary of what they were trying to say. Maybe the Beacon can improve the accuracy of their "Thankless task" by being less petty by comparison and initiating the same system . I congratulate the paper on its effort to attempt this undertaking, if not the results. Good luck . Sincerely , Michael Bishton Mariani Replies To - Gabellnic Dear Mr. Gabellnic; Speaking in terms of a "coward," the name "coward" is too generous a name to call you . Fred Gabellnic is currently an unknown hiding behind his anonymous name ; this is a practice done only by gutless wonders - The question arises as to tpe specific reason I locked the door. The answer - to protect the gym from internal trouble. Some "clown" threw a bottle through the front door window and outside there still remained many rowdy ticketless bystanders. The door was not locked until 8: 15, so everyone who arrived at the proper time did gain admittance. I had no intention of allowing these irate gate crashers into the gym and cause internal disorder. My apologies were extended to all those who had tickets, but were not admitted - these people were compensated for this inconvenience. You have labeled my crew and The Lettermen as "cowards." Each and everyone of these men is ten times the "man" you are or ever will be!!! The police did an excellent job and received a note of thanks . These men handled the job well and were harassed by many in the process. In the near future, if you have any other gripes, please feel free to view them personally with me or any member of my "cowardly crew."

A person's own ~w~ must be very shakey if he is rerse to listening to a dissenting pinion." Who is guilty of this? The students o r the Beacon? Now: Who is hypocritical? This letter was written by Miss Bednar with a post script by Richard Finkelstein Mr. Finkelstein's letter brings up ll{)int which I feel I must ,~ment on. I'm not sure I nderstand the meaning of his ,etter, but that may be more my fault than his, because I also don't think he understood the editorial to which he makes reference. What he objects to, (I think) is ~he last sentence, which I must admit is rather ambiguous. The 1.EACON was being interposed .-ith "a person's own views," through regretfully the relationship was made very unclear. Therefore, the main idea behind the quote is the belief that the BEACON is not averse to listening to a dissenting opinion. I still don't quite understand Mr. Finkelstein 's questions. Are we ·aUing the students hypocritical? In ,t sense? In reference to the statement that the letter was written by Miss Bednar, I can only say that as the editor-in-chief, she is ultimately responsible for everything that appears in the paper. However, she certainly does not write everything. As managing editor I also take the ~redit ( and blame) for editorials ;,ich appear. And this one _J mbiguous last paragraph and all) "tas mine. Jo Ann Gomer We would like to correct two mistakes which appeared in last week 's issue of the Beacon . In the ¥ HAT Student Government story, it was , stated that "students would be able to drop courses anytime during the semester." This is not completely true. Under consideration is the policy that would enable students to drop courses until the tenth week of classes without penalty. After that, in order to drop a course, the student must secure the permission of the chairman of the department and the Dean. In the same story it is stated that "Bob Leach reported that the consensus at a recent Student Life Committee meeting was that the yearbook should be disbanded because of the lack of interest for it on campus." This topic was ..discussed not at Student Life, but at a meeting of the . Student Publications Committee. D r. Reif Renames St udent Committee To the Editor : The allegation that the proposed calendar has resulted from the deliberations of the Student Life Committee raises some question as to the viability of the committee. Statements in the proposal such as "thus providing a needed long rest in the middle of an always tiresome Spring (sic) semester" and "the last week of February, a psychologically trying time for all" indeed suggest the committee might better be called the Student Fatigue Committee. That some of the students are moribund has been suspected for several years , but one has been led to" anticipate their revitalization by the vivacity of the Student Life Committee. My reason for this note is to put in a good word for the month of February which to vital spirits (ex., faculty) is one of the best. In leap years February is noted especially for keeping bachelors jumping.

As I sit through classes in sociology , as I talk humanism in my student-oriented world, as I ponder What I Want To Be When I Grow Up after college , as I write for this college newspaper, I tend to forget that not everybody between the ages of 18 and 25 goes to college .. Some young people aren't in academia because they've chosen other alternatives. Or because other alternatives have chosen them . MILWAUKEE, WISC . - Atop a factory laden city, atop a high hill, atop a huge new building, lie hundreds of prostrate young bodies. There is no noise on the top floor except the sound of an old movie on the community TV, the sound of slowly turning wheels, the sound of an occasional doctor's diagnosis. There is no laughter. Very little talking. It's not a scene out of Marcus Welby. It's the real thing. Down the hall in a starched white room lies a young Harvard graduate who will never see , speak, hear, taste or move again. Vegetable. He just lies in bed and thinks. He can do no thing else. Nearby, a kid in a bed chats with a guest. His mother? His head is propped on three pillows and he talks animatedly . A nurse wheels a sleeping patient to a therapy room. He can't move anything below his neck. They're all young. They're all our age. And they're · all q uadraplegics. Paralyzed from their neck down, they walk with their talk, they run with their ears, they move with their eyes. From the neck down it's just the neck down . Their legs are shrunken, their hands just slightly quiver. They may never move again. They did it for their country. They had not chosen to go to college . Now they have few choices left. I visited the Milwaukee VA hospital recently . I wandered up and down hallways of the spinal injury ward and asked the Vietnam veterans there what was important to them. They often talked like elderly men in rest homes - reminiscing about their war years or months. Because they have little else to do. Except wait till they get better. If ... "What's important to me?" said a 26-year old veteran who'd been in this hospital for a year and a-half. "The war is important to me. I totally agree with it. If I could get out of this chair, I'd go back tomorrow and take care of them. I'm waiting for the day I can start fighting again. America's given me eve rything I've got." A long-haired 22-year old sat up in his bed. A sign that read "Love" hung over his head. "I'm not mad or bitter at anybody . I'm just disabled. It just happened. WHEN · My country said go in there and so I did . I was brought Uf' to believe not to kill, but sometimes you have to kiil to bring right. I'm happy ... I'm happy to be back here. Yeah . . . When I came back, my buddy took me out - and he didn't care ifl was disabled or not." They talk about student protests. Surprisingly, as pro-war as they are, they feel that students should protest . the war if they're against it. "They're protesting to get out of the war," on~ said . "That's what we're fighting for. It's a free country." "Nobody likes to get killed," another said. "But burning flags is hypocritical. If I saw anyone burning a flag, I would have to shoot him. A lot of men died for that flag. If you can't believe in your country, you don't belong. Get out." "What's important to me now is that I'd like to go back to school," said a dark-haired, good-looking young veteran hunched over in a wheel chair. "I want to work with people, to become a psychologist. I want to be able to cope . I want to get back into society. "The war? I never believed in killing people. I had to kill people to su rvive. I think abou t it a lot. How would it feel to you?" And then he began to cry. They all want to "get back into society." But until then, they live in a strange society which is a curious combination of day-to-day rehabilitation activities, the disabled people who surround them, their memories, and their hopes for the future. But what they don't know might hurt them .. "Many of them don't know how serious they are injured," a doctor at the hospital said. "Many will be here for years. They have many conventional dreams maybe go to school, get a job, get married , have children . They don't know, however," he said sighing, "that they most likely won't be able to fulfill that dream. We don't tell them. It would be too shattering." • It's quiet . They don't talk much. Their worlds are basically lonely . When they do talk about the war, it's in glowing patriotic terms, possibly trying to justify their own disabilities - so that it shouldn't have been for nothing. Many talk eagerly about going back to fight in Vietnam - as if, once there , they'll be whole again. We talk about the war too . As students, with Newsweek and newsreel knowledge, we often talk all about it as if we know all about it. But these non-students, residing with a life-long lease on the top floor of a Milwaukee VA hospital , do know all about the war. They are the war. It could've been me. I tend to forget.

In all, six Colonels scroed in double figure s with Greg O'Brien, Steve Ference, and Greg Buzinski each netting ten. Ference dazzled the better than 1,000 fans whith adroit ball handling and some incredible off-baiance shots , while Buzinski another freshman , canned the bucket that put Coach Rodger Berarde's squad at the century mark. The final score was 105-86, but it wasn't an easy game. The Colonels, trailing 46-43 at the half, had to muster a blazing 12 point splurge at the outset of the vesper half to take control splurge at the outset of the vesper half to take command .

So the stage was set for this year's intramural extravagaza. Slocum started out in good field position and finally scored on a ten yard pass from Terry Hurley to tight end Lynn White. Big Don Drust scored the first point of his career for the extra point on a pass from Hurley. That's the two scores for good measure .

Calling all junior and senior males with draft lottery numbers higher than 125 ! If you fall into this bracket, or ybu are an underclassman born prior to I 952 , with a lottery number higher than 125 , DROP YOUR 2-S DEFERMENT BEFORE DECEMBER 31 ! The reason for the statement above is obvious. Anyone who will be , exposed to the draft need only be exposed for a part of a calendar year. And with only three weeks left in the current year, students dropping deferments will only be exposed for those three weeks or less and are ·certain not to be called for induction if their lottery number falls above 125. Thus in one fell swoop, a male falling into the above category can legally avoid the draft and _its numerous headaches prior to graduation day. · The means of beating the draft are a product of none other than Curtis W. Tarr , Director of the Selective Service. On November 11, the Associated Press printed the following story . WASHINGTON, Nov.I I (AP) - Curtis W. Tarr, the director of Selective Service , has told draft boards nationwide fo allow men who have been deferred to drop their deferments if they choose to do so by Dec. 31. Such an action by eligible young men with numbers of 126 or higher would give them brief exposure to the risk of being drafted , and they would slip into a lower category Jan . I , if they escape the draft until then . The rule applies only to men born in 1951 or earlier not to those turning 19 this year who received numbers last July . . • Mr. Tarr said "our purpose is to achieve fairness to all registrants in determining their priority status on Jan . 1 and to limit the uncertainty that young men with high random-sequence numbers face. Registrants ~ith student , occupational , paternity , agriculture and hardship deferments will be eligible to take advantage of this policy." Men with numbers125 or lower who are not drafted by Jan. I will have their prime liability for induction extended to March 1. Most are expected to be drafted because the new national uniform call brings in men nationwide by the same numbers. Methods of dropping a 2-S deferment vary between submitting a letter or appearing in person and requesting a reclassification of 1-A. And rest assured that following Dr . Tarr's· order of the past November , your local board must give you that 1-A classification if you so request it. A letter need only say: To -members of local board number- - -, I am currently classified 2-S and wish to drop my 2-S deferment and be re classified I -A prior to December 31, l 97i , in accordance with the recent statement issued by Dr. Tarr concetr1ing the advisability of such action o n 1, the part of students born prior to 1952 and carrying lottery numbers higher than 125 . Thank you, your name, accompanied by your selective service number which is found on personal draft card . A point worthy of mention here concerns your stat us- sho~Jd . you _ pursue the course of action suggested in this column.dues not e!Immate the chance of being called in the future . However, as David E. Rosenbaum put it in a special report to the New York Times, "Tec_hn!cally, those wit~ lottery numbers above 125 are placed in a low pnonty group that 1s subject to conscription only if all those positions of higher priority are drafted . Selective Service officials said today that the low priority pool would not be tapped unless annual draft calls exceeded 400,000 men. There has been no year since World War II when calls have been this high. By the end of this year, 98,(:)00 men will have been drafted. In . 1966, at the peak of the build-up for the Vietnam war, 382,000 men were drafted. The Government is now committed to calling reserves to active duty before there is a substantial increase in draft calls. Last year, the first year in which the lottery system of selection was in effect, the cut-off number for those drafted was 195 . Thus, if you're currently classified 2-S and were born prior to l ?52 and have a number above 125, don't be foolish . Get that letter mailed (classified so there is no chance that the Jetter won't arrive or won't be overlooked when it does arrive). Such action will obviously enhance chances of employment upon graduation and make your nerves rest a little easier if by any chance the United States gets involved in the Middle East or Pakistan during the course of the next few years. Any questions concerning complicated matters pertinant to the draft- should be forwarded to a draft counselor. David E. Bravman of 170 Butler Street in Kingston is an excellent one who can be trusted and will never answer a question beyond his means. If you are in trouble and want a way out, I suggest you contact him at 287-0906 for some expert advice concerning the draft.

This attitude has prevailed for some time, but concrete reasons have finally been offered in the form of a report of the attitudes and opinions of the student body which was submitted to the Committee of Student Life last Friday. It was composed after studying several hundred questionnaires and considering the opinions of individual students through personal interviews. As is stated in the report, the survey is far from complete, but it does suggest several ideas worthy of the consideration of the f~culty and Administration. Under the title, "Why the Report/' it is stated that: "the students seem to possess a high degree of doubt as to almost any campus-based issue. They seem suspicious and untrusting. We looked for an answer to this condition, and one of the writers of this report expressed it as the 'resignation to defeat." The "Resignation to Defeat," as simply defined means that the student of Wilkes College holds no hope for change; that nothing will improve his condition, that any proposal submitted wiU be knocked down without consideration." Whether or not this is true seems not nearl'l so relevant as the fact that this is felt in varying degrees by the majority of the students. The issues discussed in the report are by no contained in the report, for it is evident to anyone who reads it that some recommendations are impractical because of various problems, such as funding or physical space. What the students expect, (and what any human being has the right to expect) is the mutual concern and cooperation for the betterment of social and academic conditions at Wilkes. Therefore, if we are correct in assuming that the Administration does care, there is something concrete which it can deal with. It will take much work by Administration, faculty and students, and the work must begin now. The report is not perfect. But neither are conditions at Wilkes. A group effort to move the school forward is desperately needed. The Beacon supports any responsible efforts made with this goal in mind. VVII Mariani Crew Condemned I would have felt out of plaf had I not worn a shirt and tie witi whatever I had on, including rr numeral sweater, track, and lat my letter sweater.

Moran entitled "Mariani and Crew Commended." Mr. Moran stated that a "potential danger" exist~d at the Byrds concert. What he did not mention, however, is that Mariani and his cowardly crew caused this danger by closing the doors without a word of explanation or promise of compensation to the titket-holding students outside. It was the Willces-Barre City police who pressured Mariani to guarantee refunds to those students denied admission. It was also the Wilkes-Barre City police who dispersed the vast majority of the estimated 300 people outside. It was after most of Rags And Tag1 the crowd had left that "members Questioneci of the Lettermen's Club" emerged from the safety of the gymnasium.

Quite contrary to your suggestion, I believe the allotment should be , increased ; the classes represent more students than any other group on campus. We have Dinner-dances, ·, 6utings, sponsor a Christmas party for underpriviledged children in the area, etc. These activities are for one fourth of the college population; what other group on campus can make this claim? It has been my experience that there's not 1 enough funds - rather than there's • too much. ' We pay an activities fee for the " "campus functions that we have so 'there is no opportunity to make money like before the activities fee . ' And , too many times already the Administration uses our money for purposes other than " student activities" - ie. building projects, screens for the C.P.A. etc. · Also , please ask the members of the Student Life Committee, who supposedly received your idea well, ' how many times in the last two ~ ears the Student Government has squandered our money. Compare this amount to our class allotments. • With these factors in mind , your ' theory becomes nothing more than a mere joke. t Roy V. Hollabaugh Senior Class Treasurer 11lagnus Pleads Immunity To the Editor: Referring to an article in the lovember 11 , 1971 , issue of the 1eacon your article refers to "a 1romoter" who stated he could buy '1.e Byrds for a low price . Since there are only two or three production companies in the city, I think you should have reported the company who stated his position, rather than leave a question as to which of the few companies made the statement. I would appreciate an insertion that MAGNUS was not involved in any gossip that was associated with foe Middleton or his friendly "local promoter." We have tried to maintain a reputation in our community-, and articles which leave questions unanswered are not to our benefit. Good luck with your next concert. Very truly yours, Joe Nardone November 19, 1971 Page 5 BEACON Thursday, December 9, 1971 I'm sure I could have asked this question personally of you, but I wanted the answer to be available · to every student. Why is the Beacon a superior and sensational example of censorship? l understand there is much red tape , but this censorship leaves many a student with the idea that the Beacon is completely controlled by the Administration. For an example, let us observe the issue of visitation last year. This was no minor issue , for it was directly influential to our decaying social life at Wilkes. Over 90 per cent of the students who partook in a specific survey were in favor of this new visitation policy. Yet, the Beacon stated a view againsfthe policy. The Beacon is the voice of the students, RIGHT? Well, then why take an _opposite view than what the students felt? Face up to the facts , Beacon, "your paper," not · the students, is a puppet of the · Administration; tha't will never change. · So then why write this letter? Because I want the students to do something. Like what? BURN THE BEACON!!!!

Dirksen's best was a 168-459 from Bob Starner. From this upset it seems that the Japs are on the road back to victory after getting off to a bad start. Although they are in fifth place, they can spoil it for the top teams. The Slocum team ripped the lanes with a team high of 71 7 and a fantastic team triple of 2031.

Joe Paterno has a good t;:.teve Jones The problem is that· more and more athletes are exploiting college solely as a means to gain entry into professional sports. • It seems that many of the athletes see entering college only as a means of gaining access to the college fields and courts. ,:Here, if good enough, they garner publicity which in turn attracts the pro1essional scouts. Contrary to widespread myth though not all athletes are the hulking cretins they've sometimes been depicted as. Most realize the importance of a college education. Many realize too that the pro scouts represent potential bonus contracts which, re_gardless of _the athlete's l~ter suc~ess or failure in the sport , can afford him almost h(e long financial secunty. And they realize that the route to this security is through their athletic • performance. Hence they take steps to assure that their skillful exhibitions go unhampered by outside tensions and problems. One of the most popular maneuvers of the star athlete is to take a relaxed curriculum _ something less than the full load. This provides him more leisure time and theoretically removes the anxiety from an otherwise deadline-imbued schedule. It also means he'll have to enroll for another semester or two to graduate. _ For those of this category who are drafted and/or awarded bonus contracts the belief that they will pick up their college degree following their athletic career seldom becomes a reality. In order to halt this unfortunate trend, Paterno has suggested that every athlete be required to .

BEAR DE from pg. 7 500 - yes , five hundred - high schools already in an effort to attract additional higher calibre and taller players to the Wilkes campus. Coach Bearde believes that one of_ his biggest assets in recruiting athletes is that all of the other Wilkes major sports are successful. "Our goal," he says, "is to catch u ,, o. According to Coach Bearde, Shahay will be the team spark plug and will set up the offensive plays. Vying for the center position will be Bachkosky, Kurosky and a freshman from Plains, 6 foot , 3 inch Clarence Ozgo who Bearde terms "an aggressive , hard nose player who should help us." Kurosky started last season and his experience should be an immense asset. Bearde also asserts, "Caterson should have a big year if he's willing to play at both _ends' of the court." Experience-~ise, though, the squad is smarting. Four starters who started for the last four seasons are now graduated . The Colonels' primary weakness appears to be board strength. Avers Bearde, "We need a lot of work at blocking out for rebounds. · · The ou tside shoo ting game should be the team's most potent face t. "We'll do well there," says Bearde with a reserved optimism. His reserva tions stem fro m the fact that it 's difficult to win consistently when a team must prim arily rely on its outside shoo ting accu racy . Coach Bearde hopes for good ra n support , including at the holiday Berwick Tournamen t on Dece mb e r 2 9-30 . Wilkes, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg and Lycoming will lock horn s there. PR ISM from pg. 6 pass a certain number of credits each year (i.e. eno~gh to advance one year academically) to be eligible to participate in varsity competition the next year. At worse, this, suggestion seems mildly coercive, and no doubt if adopted will engender arguments by athletes that club and organization members be treated equally. But the Paterno plan could also serve as an institutional safeguard against those athletes who never planned to earn a degree while at the same time it would ensure a degree and its concomitant satisfying prestigioµs and monetary aspects to the "career professional athlete" who may or may not have lasted a career.

This was commented upon by Student Government President Howie Tune, who stated that a group of students, led by Gifford Cappellini, is sponsoring a petition favoring student representation at the meetings. At the same time, Tune indicated that there was strong sentiment among the student body for such a move. Tune reported that Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, and the administration were willing to support such an action but couldn't understand why students would want representation in the first place. Dr. Michelini further remarked that he wgµld rather have this made into a proposal by Student Government. Mike Bishton summed up the discussion saying, "let Giff waste his time." He felt that petitions didn't get very far and Student Government had little to worry about. A fund r_equest of $200 was granted to the radio committee. Bishton reported that a plea for records from the student body had failed and it would be necessary to spend $120 for records and $80 for recording tape. Bishton also remarked that the station was low on fu nds and even with the $120, only 10 bands could be covered sufficiently. Also, all programming will be taped. It seems that certain school officials are sensitive to so-called "DJ-types." George Pagliaro, IDC president, asked why there wasn't more stude nt control of the station and he failed to see how the programming would have any appeal to the college crowd. It was then emphasized by Bishton that the radio was for the community and that its purpose is-"to give the valley some culture." Eventually , some programs will be pretty much run by students but the college must be careful the first year in order to keep its FCC permit. President of the junior class, Joel Vol. XXIV, No. 11 Fischman, presented a blueprint for a stage that could be easily stored and transported. It was pointed out that the stage could be used for concerts, commencement exe rcises and various student activities. The estimated cost of the project is $185 0 to $2000. Lee Auerbach felt that this should be cooperatively worke d o ut w ith th e Administra tion. Tune tabled the discussion. Fischman also thanked Student Government for the $200 allocated to Cue 'n' Curtain. He presented a breakdown of how the fund s were used and reported that the play, "Trial by Jury," was so successful that it was possible fo r them to give $5 00 to the Uni ted Fund. After a hea ted debate, the Bish ton-Auerbach suggestion to the ·student Ac tivity Fee Proposal was withdrawn. The principal reason for its failure was that Harry Bilecki discovered that the proposal already stated that any club or organization had to submit proof of how the funds were used. It now became a question of whether Student Government would back it up. The remainder of the amendment will be taken up with the Activity Fee Committee. Auerbach remarked on the progress of the college calendar change. A formal version is to be presented to the Council of Deans and goes something like this - one day of registration for freshman directly after Labor Day; the next day would include registra tion for the upper classes; fi nal exams would be over before Christmas; there would be 33 days off fo r in termission; during the second semester, 14 days would be alloted for Easter recess and there is a provision for an additional nine-day vacation anytime. No comment was made on how the Freshman Orientation Program would be handled. Dance and Film Committee chairman, Bilecki, reported that the Christmas Dance would be held on . December 10 and music would be provided by The Bouys and Strabas. The price for The Bouys is set at $800 and Strabas will WILKES COLLEGE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER Progress Reports Means of Motivation? by Pat Moran The semi-annual vigil is over and you can stop guarding the mailbox the progress reports have already arrived.

Steve Kubricki, although feeling the gesture was sincere, opposed the idea of Studen t Government making anymo re donations simply because it had too little money with which to wo rk. A show of hands defended the donation, terminating further discussion. A challenge was issued by Auerbach concerning the profits from the dances. It was his contention that the fu nds should be pumped backed into Student Government rather than given over to the Dance and Film Committee. Bilecki staunchly defended his committees right to keep its profits since the monies were always put into more dances and films. Sentiment among the members favored Bilecki's defense and promptly shut-off the attack .

The good that is accompl ished is never voiced . We would like ·to take this o pportunity to congratualte the me mbers of t he Admi nistration , faculty and studen t body involved· in the formu lation of the St udent Facul ty Com mittee on Teacher Evaluatio n and Recogn ition . The committee is a concept that membe rs of th e facu lty and student body have bee n striving for duri ng a period of several years. Those not di rectly invo lved in the organization will find it difficult t o recognize its great impo rtance both fro m the stand point of actu al achievement and meaning. Stud ent representat ion o n the com mittee is actua ll y th·e la rgest , percentage wise of any other student-faculty comm ittee a lready in existence. Faculty involvement has been greater than realized by many. Members of the faculty have actually been fighting for such a committee for several years now. It is a difficult step for any group to submit itself to such careful evaluation and criticism as the faculty has agreed upon. It shows, in many respects, a great deal of confidence on the part of each individual and also on the part of their fellow professional members. It's not a step to be taken lightly, or one that should be accepted without consideration. This step was taken by three different groups with one important objective in mind: the continuing improvement of the educational standards of Wilkes College. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possib le without surrender be o n good terms with all persons. Speak your tru t h quietly and clearly ; and listen t o others, even -r-he d ull a nd ig no rant; t hey too have thei r story . Avo id loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to t he spirit. If you compare yo urself with others, you may become vain and bitte r; for always there will be greater and !e;;ser persons than yourself. Enjoy yo ur achievements as weli as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in ,:hanging fortunes of time. Exercise cautio n in your business affairs; fo,- the wor ld is fu ll of t rickery . But let this not blind you to what virtue t here is; many persons strive for high ideals; and eve rywhere life is full of hero ism . Be yo urself. Especia ll y, do not feign affection . Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perenial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome .disciple, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And- whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your sou I. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dream, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. "Desiderata" Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore; Dated 1692 Radio Station Needs Imaginative Workers To the Editor: Much has been written and discusse d of ]ate about the programming of the Wilkes College radio station WCLH. The writing and discussions ap pear to center chiefly around what the rumo r mills claim will be the program content and what a certain segment of the .student community claims should be the content. To date we have seen verv little ab out the question of philo;ophies and objectives. This letter is dedicated to trying to explain to the college community at large precisely why this station was created in the first place and what it hopes to accomplish. Wilkes College has changed much in the past few years. Chief among those changes is the shift in its student population from one which was wholly drawn from the Wyoming Valley to one which is far more cosmopolitan. This has its advantages for the school since it brings new ideas and experiences to the college and the community and reduces the extent and liabilities of provincialism. Despite these changes, however, Wilkes College retains the same goals as it had . when it was founded. These, as stated in the catalogue, are to provide a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. The purpose of WCLH is precisely the same as that of the college. Operation of a radio station NOTICE by students provides a useful The Administration announced that the Wilkes experience for the participants in Library has extended its hours.

A station of this ty pe should provide extensive , locally-originated programming. The valley has large , unassimila ted ethnic groups among the older generations which, except for the Italian and Polish communi ty, have been completely ignored by the local radio outlets because such programming is not economically feasible . Hopefully these groups could be brought closer to the modern community through programming, in their native tongue , directed specifically to this problem. The Beacon has from time to time crusaded against pollution, political corruption and the extreme conservatism characteristic of the area. How much more effective should be the planning and broadcasting of programs over the airways directed to these problems? The Beacon reaches the college community. WCLH, with an antenna on top of the highest mountain in the area , will cover from Binghamton to Allentown and could easily develop a role as the conscience of Northeast Pennsylvania.

Dr. Polgar, born in Hungary in I 900, stu<!_ied at the University of · Budapest majoring in psychology and economics. Before coming to the United States in the early l 930's, he had worked as a hypnotist under the direction of a physician. Dr. Polgar is the father of two children, both married. His daughter is a psychologist and his so n is an industrial engineer. In his future , Dr. Polgar plans an April trip to South Africa, and he would like to return to Vietnam to visit our soldie rs in the hospitals there. When asked about his special talent, Dr. Polgar replied , " It is a gift I have been born with. I am being unpretentious when I say I have a gift ; a person must have something. Just as a musician or a singer has talent, I have a talent you can elaborate on." He explained that a "good memory is not a matter of luck, rather it takes sufficient concentration and effort. " The topic for the evening was "Miracles of the Mind." Dr. Polgar stated that he works alone ; he has no accomplice. If anyone could prove that he was using trickery he offered them a five thousand dollar personal check , or 10 dollars in cash. The first demonstration dealt with memory. It consisted of 16 numbered blocks each containing one word. Dr. Polgar announced he could make the blocks add up to any number between 50 and 100. The chosen number was 71 and o ne-third. By having the audience call out the words in the blocks , Dr. Polgar was able to have a participant place his designated numbers in the boxes. When the blocks were added vertically , diagonally , horizontally and at four corners, Dr. Polgar explained that this was his own idea, ~ased on mathematics, memory, and three years of work . According to Dr. Polgar, the five senses are employed in memorization , the material memorized is stored in the human mind , and that knowledge remains with you fo r the rest of your life. He also stated that the most difficult problem he has is to forge t. .I t usually takes him 24 hours or more . · His second demonstration involved telepathy . His goal : to find his paycheck hidden somewhere in the auditorium. Dr. Polgar stepped outside , with a group of students to watch him , while his check was being hidden. Returning, he chose two members of the audience to be his guides. They were told to guide him in their minds as they would guide a blindman verbally. Dr. Polgar attained his goal ; his check was under a white hat on top of a student's head. He stated "the phenomena of telepathy does exist as an everyday occurance, but people do not think of it as such." He mentioned such examples as knowing who is on the telephone when it rings or the feeling of an upcoming death. Telepathy was the only means of commt1nication before civilization, but it "faded away and became dor mant as languages developed." After a short question and answer period , Dr. Polgar discussed hypnosis. "It is really a scientific matter belonging to the realm of psychology." A form of sleep, hypnosis has been known for a long time, as far back as the Asians , Romans, and Greeks. " It can only help you if there is nothing seriously wrong with you. Hypnosis is the result of your own mind ; your own concentration." Dr. Polgar's request for volunteers was answered with 20 participants filling the chairs on stage on a first come basis. Thursday evening proved to be a memorable experience for all who attended _the lecture. �THE BEACON Page 4 Exchanging Views by Gary Homing Enough h as been said about the past Homecoming Concert to fill all eight pages of the Beacon and then some . However , not enough has been said about future endeavors. ln accumulating in fo rmation for a story concerning the concert , this columnist came up with an assortment of ideas, concepts, and methods th e school could undertake to pull off a successful concert next spring. First in order of importance is crowd control. Nobody can enjoy a concert regardiess of whether the Who , Crosby , Stills, Nash, and Young, o r the Archies are playing if you are sur rounded by rude, rowdy p(,_ople. The recent Byrds concert was a combination of all the bad and no t enough of the good. The Eric Anderson slot was marred by what resembled human flies outside of the gymnasium windows . Regardle ss of whether or not these people were deprived of rightful seats (for many held legitimate tickets) they had no business climbing the gym walls, and Eric Anderson had every right to turn around an march off the stage. The Byrds were subjected to the same treatment but profited from the rather high volume of their style of music and thus overamplified their competition. The solutions to the crowd problems are not easy ones but Wilkes has the advantage of an activity fee that limits our reliance on outside help fo r the necessary revenue to p~omote a concert. Why not simply eliminate· those not associated with the college community. The school could sell tickets to Wilkes College students and their dates, no exception s. Seco ndly , the tickets should be of a nature such that counterfeiting would be all but impossible. Whether it be the blacklight system now used on the Jersey Shore or some alternate method , Student Government has got to come up with a foolproof ticket system and must begin investigating now. Another point of importance that S.G. must avoid in the future is the accumulation of a crowd outside of the building prior to the concert. The doors to the gy mnasium were still closed at 7: 30 on Sunday evening with a crowd of some 700 people backed up halfway across South Franklin Street. True , the Byrds were conduct ing sound che cks but that was only through their own tardiness in arriving in Wilkes•Barre. By allowing a crowd of sufficient magnitude to assemble ou tside of the gym, Mike Mariani and his aids were inadvertantly inviting trouble which is exactly wha t they got. The college should have the doors open to the public at least an hour and a half before the first act goes on to prevent a heavy crowd accumulation and the trouble it induces . Another question to be asked by all is the capability of the college gymnasium to handle a concert. Dean James Moss told this writer that as far as he is concerned, concerts at the gym are through . It is simply not large enough to handle the number of people and co ntributes to the problem by its location in a residential section of town. The solution, most obviously , the Kingston Armory . The problem, the Kingston Armory is an acoustical nightmare where even the best groups sound lousy. What to do ? Obviously look elsewhere but eliminate any ideas about merging with King's and throwing a show in their spacious gym. King's isn't interested and if it were, complications would eminate from the fact that Wilkes has money from an activity fee and King's doesn't. Despite the conce rn of finding a good facility in which to promote a concert , little talk has been heard about an obvious outlet. For the past two years, Magnus productions has promoted several concerts in the Comerford Theatre which surprisingly enough, is a very comfortable place in which to witness and enjoy a concert. It is isolated, can be protected from outside intruders, features acce ptable acoustics and would probably be available if plans are introduced far enough in advance. The price would certai nly be minimal when o ne considers that Wilkes paid $500 for the stage used in the Byrd's concert only to have it torn down following the show. The o nly foreseeable problem might lie in seating capacity which in turn might be alleviated by two shows. At any rate, the Wilkes Gym is out, the Kingston Armory should be out, so why not try a theatre which has enjoyed success in similar programming in the past? Finally, we the students of Wilkes College, deserve a choice. This columnist has been info rmed of the approximate sum of money available fo r the Spring Weekend concert and I assure you it's plenty, especially for a Sunday night production. It does no t , however, mean the Who or C.S.N.&Y will be appearing, but it does mean an outside shot at so me group like Chicago , Three Dog Night, or Poco. There should and hopefully will be a vote for the group to perform during Spring Weeke nd. If we are not afforded this opportunity , we have been wronged . A list should be composed of groups within the college's fi nancial means and the group chosen by the students should be booked. There is no reason why Wilkes should be subjected to the Three Dog Night episode of last spring. With majo rity rule as a rule, perhaps a truly successful concert at Wilkes can be realized.

Well , after th is last week spent in Wahington D.C. at the Sigma Delta Chi Journ alism Convention, I'd like to do a little editorializing by ' adding, "and usuall y does. " It 's next to impossible at this stage of the gam e with so much of the excitement of the con fere nce still fresh in my mi nd to write a completely obj eGtive account of the trip , but the one thing that will stand out in my mi nd forever is the friendline ss and cooperation of everyone we encoutered. It WAS fun - I guess I'd be lying to myself if I tried to convince anyone that it wasn't. Looking back over the experience right now , it became apparent just how deeply that one word education - what college is supposedly all about - fit into the picture. What I'm really trying to say that whole experience was simply a quick and painless way of getting an education. We were able to learn more in informal social gatherings than we possibly could have learned in two semesters of concentrated classroom study. Yes , gang, there is a real world out there, besides the Wyoming Valley . And they have ideas that are p~etty much the same as ours . Even the larger universities with 60 ,000 students have problems with the student paper, rifts between campus organizations and financial difficulties. ... Every segment of the professional conferences was open to all the students and each and every member of the profession made the effort to talk and socialize with the students. It was strange standing there talking to a few of them who actually had the look that said, "I was going through pretty much the same thing not too long ago ." Ronald Zeigler, . press secretary for President Nixon had the opportunity to convey his side of the White House to the group . Naturally we weren't about to let him go without some debate. The result? An honest criticism of White House press conferences with a great deal of insight into their fun ctions and necessity . Speaking of the White House - it has probably become apparent by now that the trip wasn't entirely one conference after another. One evening we had the chance to see a Washington-oriented flick - "Milhous, A White Comedy." It's not hard to guess the content of the film . It's a cleverly executed series of short excerpts taken from the campaigning speeches and press conferences of Richard M. Nixon . One of the strongest defenses in journalism is to let the facts speak for themselves. This is exactly the plan of the movie. The series of quips are arranged in sequence and with very little narration are allowed the priviledge of speaking for themselves. _ Of course, there were the usual tours of sites around the city , along with a few not-so-unusual tours. Thursday night was one such unconventional tour where I ended up in front of the White House talking to members of the Quaker Vigil for peace who were sitting on the side walk in near freezing temperatures maintaining an around the clock vigil which sought peace immediately. _ The lone couple that evening was determined - they had to be in order to endure the cold . Policemen and guards were actually sympathetic and offered hot coffee. A somewhat more radical group had been arrested earlier that evening, yet the couple seemed undisturbed by the arrests. Husbands Lib anyone? Well, male members of the reading audience will be pleased to learn that one member of your sex is out petitioning for your rights. No, I'm not exagerating. Right there on the corner was one lonely man covered completely with buttons and signs demanding Husband's Liberation. All good things must come t9 an end, and our trip ended abruptly, in spite of efforts to the contrary , when the bus pulled into Wilkes-Barre and we were reminded of a press deadline.

Our o, MY M1-t,1D I have always related to that garden in a strange sort of way. It 's as though I identify with it. Actually , I came upon the garden quite by chance - a few weeks ago , while taking an afternoon walk. I thought I had remembered a short cut to the town square - an alley, unpaved, with a row of dingy, wood-frame houses on one side, facing a huge, vacant lot which showed no evidence of life except for the clumps of ragweed which it had grudgingly nurtured . I had such a clear and distind memory of that alley, even though I'd never seen it before in my life. I felt I was being drawn towards it , held spellbound, beckoned to that garden which seemed to - . Enough of this nonsense . What happened is that I simply came upon this garden by chance. It wasn' t until after I saw it , after I had sized up my situation, that I acquired the feeling of being drawn to it like a fated hero in an overworked play. Until I actually reached that garden and acquainted myself with it , I hadn't the vaguest realization of the significance which it was to hoid fo r me. It 's not that the garden was anything special - I had seen hundreds of gardens just like it before. In fact , this garden appeared , at first , to possess a certain inferiority to other gardens, almost as if it lacked something - . But what it lacked , I hadn't the slightest idea. It was small , as gardens go , and it was certainly not attractive. No , it was downright ugly . And that's why I was attracted to that garden, why I came to identify with it. For , it was ugly, disordered, it was a nuisance. I co uldn't imagine why anyone should want to spend any time at all in that wretched garden. It was a nuisance , that 's all there is to it. A leech , a parasite , just sitting there , begging to be noticed , to be appreciated , to be cared for. The thought of it disgusted me, and I resolved to tear up that garden. I would stamp it to dust , tram ple over every last , wilted flo wer - . Just then, my plans were interrupted. I became conscious of someone walking through the garden. A young girl. I studied her as she stopped to examine one of her drooping flowers . Her eyes betrayed a strange type of horror. I remember thinking that she was experienced beyond her years. She kept her lips pursed tight , while humming a melody which I immediately recognized. It wa's "Greensleeves," an old favorite of mine. My- mind began to wander as she hummed softly. Her hands were so white and delicate! She held up one of her flowers . The notes of "Greensleeves" were dispersed from my mind, and replaced by another wave of disgust. That flower was just a nuisance. It was limp, wilted, ugly. And how she caressed it! She seemed not to notice how ugly it was . Maybe she didn't care. But it bothered me. It infuriated me . I wanted to crush that flower into a lifeless blob . I wanted to stomp it in-to the dirt , and grind it to a pulp. I wanted to grab that girl by the shoulders and shake her senseless , and shout in her face - FOOL! You total idiot! What a way to waste your time. That parasite is no good to anyone . It's disgusting ; can't you see , it 's enough to make one sick. It's a nuisance - . She continued to hum "Greensleeves" as she tenderly cared for that flower . The notes of her melody found their way back into my consciousness. What could she possibly see in that flower ; what good is it to her? What is it that could want to make her want to care for a useless, wilted flower - a nuisance? "It must be the song," I said aloud . This startled the girl , who had been unaware of my presence. " It's the song, isn't it?" I waited for an answer. I really wanted to know. The girl just sat there , looking puzzled and afraid. I felt sorry for her. And then I knew. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you say so - I gue ss it's the song." Then she smiled at me. I shrugged my shoulders. And I smiled back. �THE BEACON Page 6 November 18, 197 1 r Colone/s'Booters Bow In Championship Tilt Defense Highlights Fray ; Squad Finishes At 8 -4-2 The Wilkes College soccer squad had their MAC title hopes dashed Saturday when a taller , powerful Elizabethtown team defeated them 3-0 at Ralston Field. The triumph gave Elizabethtown the Middle Atlantic Conference championship and the right to proceed on to tournament play for the national title. The vic,tors first tallied with 39 seconds remaining in the second period when Myer took a pass from Good and drilled a ground shot past Wilkes' diving goalie, co-captain, Chip Eaton. Jacobs notched the next Elizabethtown goal with an assist from Denlinger at 14:04 of the third period. The winner's final goal came with 13 :35 remaining in the contest with Myer scoring his second goal of the day. Delinger again got the assist. Despite a partisan turnout of approximately 600 fans, the .Colonel offense sputtered all afternoon. Wilkes managed but seven shots in the contest wh ile Elizabethtown fired 29 at Wilkes' All-American candidate, Eaton, who registered 16 saves to polish off a stellar career. Excelling on defense for the Blue ane Gold were fullbacks Roger Danbury, Jerry Blade and co-captain Bob Linaberry who was carried from the field and rushed to the hospital in the final canto after incurring a prob~ble bone bruise or frac ture of leg. Goalie of the 1966 Wilkes championship crew, Rokita, also indicated that the Colonels played one of their finest games as he afterwards commented in the dressing room," Yo u can't do more that your best." Losing only th ree lettermen, the Colonels should once again be serious contenders next fall when their most prolific scorer, Ed Garabedian , will Ed Ga rabedian giving dancing lessons? No, he's just using his head .

Similar thoughts must have danced through 21 Wilkes Colonels seniors' minds prior to and during last Saturday's curtain drawing on the 1971 fall sports campaign. Unfortunately, only one of the three men's athletic squads managed to conclude its season with a victory. The females, too terminated their hockey seasons regular schedule with a triumph, but they were then soundly trounced in tournament play. · Football, soccer , cross-country , field hockey . The physical demands of these sports we know are tremendous. Dissenters on this point may contact Bill Horan, Bob Linaberry, Gary Homing , or Debbie Brackenstow for a perorati.on. As key members of their respective squads, they all at one time or another this season incurred injuries that prevented their participation in their sport. The psychological demands too, although often given less attention, are at times extroadinarily menacing. I think Garf Jones best echoed the sentiments of many of the seniors athletes when he stated that his most difficult task in football was "getting up psychologically for the practices after six years or following the same routine. "Of course, just plain old budgeting of time and nurturing the "cum" can also get to be a mammouth hassle when you're an athlete. · But for the most part, and in most cases; for four years, these 2 I Wilkes seniors have managed to parry, avoid, control, or cope with these perennial bugaboos.

The Mini-mite shattered three Wilkes records in his last appearance in a Colonel uniform. He broke the record held by Leo Castle • since 1949 for the most touchdowns scored in one game, (4) and he also set new marks for the most points scored in a season(80) and most career points (I 58). These records, formerly held by John Florkiewicz , had also been intact since 1949. Giberson completed 13 of 20 passes for 223 yards and also set a Colonel season mark for passing with 86 completions in 162 attempts for 1,290 yards. He snapped the record held by Richard Roshong in 1965. The Blue Bold defense was led by Frank Galicki and Tony Cardinale. Galicki struck for nine tackles and six assists while Cardinale registered ten tackles, four assists and hauled in one ir,terception.

With 8:44 left in the first quarter, Wilkes scored again, moving 52 yards in nine plays with Yeager going over from the four. Giberson's 19 yard flip to George Sillup highlighted the drive. Blaum again hit on the PAT. Wilkes once again scored with 1:08 left in the half, as they moved 69 yards in six plays. Giberson's 48 yard bomb to Walters set up his ten yard scoring pitch to John Collins. Blaum's PAT was true. The Colonel offense again drove to pay dirt early in the third period when Northwest Highschool product. Mike Barski, stepped in to engineer a five play 57 yard scoring drive that followed Ron Fritts' fumble recovery . Barski fired a 42 yard strike to Neil Langdon and Yeager culminated the drive with a one-yard plunge. The Colonels continued relentlessly and mounted another offensive as they marched 62 yards in five plays with Yeager scoring on a 27 yard screen play from Giberson. PAT was missed. Muskingum finally reached the scoreboard in the final quarter when Jim Rockwell moved in from two yards out. The try for a two-point conversion failed.

Spotlighting DAN At six foot, four inches, lanky split end Dan Walters, provided quarterback Jeff Giberson his biggest target this season. Walters emerged as one of the Colonels most dependabie stars in hauling 13 aerials good for 230 yards and one touchdown after playing in Bill Lazor's shadow for three campaigns. The Wyoming Valley West High School graduate, disillusioned by the confusion caused by his school's jointure, never went out for scholastic football after his sophomore year. He hadn't planned either to participate in football at Wilkes until he received a mailed invitation from Goach Schmidt to try out. A National Honor Society student and an American Legion Award winner, the Kingston native's greatest sports thrill came against Muskingum last Saturday when he latched on to a 19 yard pass to score his first TD as a Colonel. "The toughest things for an end," says Dan, "are the obvious; getting open, and catching the ball." The senior Chemistry major's future plans are to attend Officer's Candidate School at Newport, Rhode Island, to prepare him to be a member of the Navy's nuclear power division. Dan deems the spirit in the athletic program to be tantamount to Coach Schmidt's leadership ability which he terms, "tremendous._" PRISM (From Page_ 6) Conspicuously missing and purposely saved for last is the 21st, who ironically (hum?) wears jersey no. 21, and is Ted Yeager. Conjecture here is that jersey No. 21 will be retired by the school. There are three reasons. First, unless shoulder pads and spines go out of style, no one will ever fit into it. Second, after overwhelming, inexorable, and merciless batterings by oppon~nts, the jersey's threads will be luck-y to survive a showcase's moth's attack, let alone that of an irate_football player.

W-B Owned by Steve Cooney Class of 1960 By Val Aiello and Kathy Davies If one could categorize hockey teams among the greats, last weekend was the time to do it. Wilson College, Gettysburg, Penn State , just to name a few, displayed the skills that eventually placed many of their players on the Susquehanna squads. Wilkes was also a part of this important event in the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association. Although not placing anyone on the squads, the team faired very well against such competito rs as Gettysburg, Shippensburg, Center County and Susquehanna. Being what one might call the "rookie" team of the association, Wilkes had several close, as well as disheartening, matches. Scoring goals for the Colonelettes were Kathy Haughey against Gettysburg and Donna Donsces against Bucknell University. On the lighter side of the weekend , special attention must be paid for those raffle winners: Laraine Mancuso, Stephanie Pufko, Kathy Koterba, and Lindsay Farley. Although the season officially ended with the Susquehanna Tournament, the Colonellettes finished their regular season with two wins against College Misercordia and Keystone College. Scoring four goals against the "Highlanders," the Wilkes record evened at 3-3. Offensive standouts were Donna Donsces and Carolyn Gregory scoring one and two goals respectively. The defense, while striking up another shut-out, also took part in the offense. Center halfback, Stephanie Pufko scored her first goal of the season from the top of the striking circle. The season ended on a happy note with a 6-0 win over Keystone College. This brought the season log to 4-3. Leading the offense was Donna Doncses who had a game high of three goals, which brings her total season number to seven. Carolyn Gregory, Kathy Haughey, and senior co-captain Jean Adams each tallied one. The Keystone match marked the last game for senior co-captains Jean Adams and Kathy Koterba. In this final game both finished their college careers with outstanding performances and their efforts will be missed. The Colonelettes will carry their four game winning streak into next season.

Whereas commercial stations usually pick a particular format and stick with it to develop a loyal, if single-minded audience, there are so many things for Wilkes radio to do that the program schedule looks right now like a patchwork quilt. There is in the tentative schedule everything in music from Swedish rock and Mantovani-style dinner music to grand opera and Bantu folk music. Anyone who says this is a purely classical station hasn't looked at the record list. The spoken word programs range from the old-time radio show Lum and Abner to lectures on the moral crisis in the United States. We have had a standing offer to provide time to any student who can set up a good progressive jazz program. The offer has not been taken up . Initially, much of the programming must be canned. Locally-originated programs require much preparation, as those who volunteer to become involved in such preparations will find out. It is far better to begin with one or two professionally-executed loclfl programs, and after they are successful move on to other such projects, than it is to throw IO or 12 lousy jobs on the air at once, turning off any potential audience and creating a disaster area which would have to be cleaned up before starting all over again from the beginning. The undersigned is primarily respo nsible for the development of the initial program outline. He is perfectly aware that it may not work at all and he would be dumbfounded if it worked in its entirety. It represents a beginning in a field which has never before been touched in this Valley. By trial and error and by retaining flexibility in its approach, Wilkes Radio can become a major service to the community and to the Wilkes Student body. The undersigned, while officially on leave · this semester, is prepared to discuss programs and program content with any student, faculty member or member of the local community. Don't bother me with such discussions unless you are prepared to show whom such programs will benefit, or unless you can provide a practical plan of action in developing and producing such programs. What Wilkes Radio needs is willing imaginative workers, not pre facto criticism. Harold E. Cox Love and war live side by s,de 111 the history of man . A' world of sad and often cruel contrasts.
